They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Ephesians 4:18 (NIV)
We can't afford to allow our hearts to harden. We can't let our understanding to darken. The truth is, we can't survive without God, but if we allow these things to happen then separation from God will surely result.
There are many distractions that can turn our eyes from our Lord. Complacency often comes like a thief to steal our attention. Pride and self-sufficiency make us believe we can go on without our Lord. Ignorance serves to blind us and excuses cripple us.
Our Lord will never leave us, but there is a danger that we will leave him, and so it is very important that we daily refresh our relationship with God. Turn to him continuously for guidance. Pray to him and praise him, acknowledging our Lord as our King and Saviour. If we allow him to breathe life and light into the very core of our beings, then we will never be separated from our Lord and his family.

With my craft jamboree bags too it's just like Forest Gump says You never know what you're gonna get!!!
Thought it would be fun to make up some craft jamboree bags - enough Stuff of one/two colours to inspire you to make a small project - a brooch, a mini monster or cards maybe??? Possibilities are endless!!
The pictures show an example of the type of materials you will get in your jamboree bag, each bag will be different but all bags will include;
A cotton reel, at least 10 buttons and beads, ribbons, trim or lace, fabric and other bits and pieces. Some pieces will be used and others new.
Great gift for someone just starting out in crafts too - or for someone making up a make do and mend basket.
So have fun...and come back and show me what you've made in the Folksy Forums!

Wichita Southeast's boys bowling team reclaimed their throne atop the Greater Wichita Athletic League after being dethroned by Bishop Carroll last year; however the Golden Eagles still managed to win the girls' title.
"I think it was really important because my freshman year we took [the GWAL Championship] and last year we fell short…it was good for us to bounce back after last year", said Derick Holmes of Wichita Southeast.
Wichita Southeast's 2,601 pins brought home the championship while Wichita Northwest and Bishop Carroll followed closely with 2,538 and 2,521 respectively.
Click here for complete boys results.
Bishop Carroll's boys squad came into the event undefeated with a 6-0 duals record. They were the top seeds and the favorites.
Derick Holmes and his teammates weren't buying in. Southeast's boys knew they could defeat Carroll; it was something they had done before, albeit as freshman with the help graduating seniors.
"I think it's just our team atmosphere we're all team based, not individually based. I think [that] really helped us," said Holmes.
Southeast placed four bowlers in the top ten of the individual competition including Derick Holmes and Casey Bennett in the top three. Holmes downed 680 pins with his teammate Bennett only 16 pins behind.
Southeast's coach David Koch spoke candidly about how his team has grown since they last won the GWAL Championship as freshman.
"For those kids that finally recognize what they can do this is great for them, I mean it's kind of like we worked hard, we got there."
Koch hopes his team isn't over confident as the Golden Buffaloes head to their Class 6A regional and says they'll practice hard and hopefully that will motivate them to do their best during their next competition.
For Bishop Carroll the girls' competition was a much more successful venture. The Golden Eagles won the championship by more than 300 pins with Kapaun Mt. Carmel and Wichita Southeast coming in second and third respectively.
Carroll's Anna Bohr won the individual title with 697 pins. The Golden Eagles' Hollyann Johansen and Maggie Wiggins tied for third with 654 pins each.
Click here to see complete girls results.
When asked about how this sets up Carroll for the postseason Anna Bohr responded modestly.
"This sets us up for the postseason."
A jubilant Bohr focused on what she did right.
"I made my spares and performed well today".
Bohr responded to a question about winning state with positive attitude wondering "Why Not?"
Bohr won't have to wait long because regional bowling is scheduled for February 18-23. Qualifiers move on to State which, for 6A, is March 1, and 5-1A is February 28.
Southeast & Carroll out-strike the competition at GWAL Bowling

Why would you crop out Casey Bennett, one of Southeast team members from this picture? These young men work very hard and are proud of their team and team mates. Very disappointed in you Catch it Kansas.

Today's experience for dinner around
7PM was the worst buffet I have had in a long time.
Baked potatoes had cooked for so long under their lamps that they were dark brown inside and disgusting. We told the waitress who checked with her Manager. They took them out but told us it would be another hour to get fresh ones.
Bacon in the salad bar was real, but looked like 2 days old. Not red anymore, more like yellowish brown color.
Meat was completely dry (except for the loads of fatty tissue around it).
Best came for dessert. We noticed that there was mold growing on their peach pie. When I mentionned it to a bus boy, he took that one piece away. Then the Manager came, tasted the stuff and decided it was bad and threw the whole shelf away.
Finally, the chocolate pudding had a weird consistency. My friend tasted it and found it sour. We called the manager, told her about it. She didnt believe us at first, saying it was the normal taste for the sugar free pudding (which it wasn't the sugar free kind anyway). Then we insisted and she tasted it and also decided to throw it away.
She barely apologized and didn't offer to comp anything. Now I'm worried that I will get sick like so many other people reported.
I'm calling the health department.
Great price, food and service. For the price you get good tasting food and great service. We eat here at least weekly because we love their meatloaf, roast, vegetables, desserts and I love their breakfast with all its fruit and variety of egg dishes. Our waitress Debra is always friendly and gets our drinks and refills quickly. We eat out daily at expensive and cheap places and for us to come back here week after week means we've found food and service we really like.
Yuck. I have never been so disgusted! Dirty, smelly place with the most inedible food ever. I wished I had gone to McDonald's instead, and I hate McDonalds. I was pregnant and craving EVERYTHING. Perfect choice- right? WRONG. I am so sorry to my uborn child. Geez! Never again. I get ill just thinking about it. My husband said we needed a shower after being in here too. Just awful. Nice server, though, she was great.
GREAT!!!!!!. For the price this place is awesome. for all of you complaining about dirty tables.....this place is busy busy busy. The wait staff is excellent. The Salad bar is to die for and the food is GREAT. People, seriously, this is a buffet, not a 5 star resturaunt. For the person who complained about a dirty diaper in the parking lot? MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD USE A GARBAGE CAN. I would love to see what there house looks like. Please think before you write something stupid. I will contunue to eat there. If you are in need of something the staff will get it for you if it is on the menu or within there power to do it.
Great Breakfast Buffet. We live in Marble Falls TX and play softball we always look forward to coming to Round Rock for tournaments in fact we've been known to get up an hour early just to enjoy the breakfast buffet before a game we have also enjoyed the evening buffet after games the food and selection have always been good and the service has always been exceptional Our young softball players especially like John the chef at the omelet station who always takes the time to make them feel special thanks to the staff who always go out of their way to accommodate us
Won't go back!. My husband and I ate here once. Many tables were full with customers and others had not been bused yet. Therefore, we could not find a table to sit at. We were going to leave, but the manager quickly "found" us a table. However, most of the buffet items did NOT taste good and the restaurant wasn't very clean. The service was really slow as well. Therefore, we were surprised by the number of customers present. We assume they were only there because it was an affordable place to eat. Needless to say, we have not been back and don't ever plan to return.
Dirty. This is one of the worst places I have eaten. Selection was bad, Service was bad, Restrooms were dirty to the point that I would not even use it. Worse than a truck stop bathroom or even better a home depo bathroom. FILTHY
All you can eat Buffet. Eaten here several time and the buffet format is great. Many varities of entre's from salads to main dishes to pizza and ice cream. Simalar to Ryan's Steakhouse and Golden Corral but I think maybe a little better. They have theme nights such as steak and shrimp, etc. Normally one price for the buffet and sometimes special steaks are extra. Food is better than some of the so called home cooking joints.

Faculty Handbook
About the Handbook
About UNCW
Faculty governance
Faculty responsibilities
Professional development & opportunities
Student rights & freedomsFreedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility. (Taken from the Preamble of the "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students". For the complete "Joint Statement", see Administrative Policies section G. of the UNCW Code of Student Life.) The "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students" further describes the rights and freedoms of students as follows. The professor in the classroom and in conference should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. Faculty should ensure that students enjoy the following protections: Protection of freedom of expression. Students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course or study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Protection against improper academic evaluation. Students should have protection through orderly procedures against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. At the same time, they are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. Protection against improper disclosure. Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances, normally with the knowledge or consent of the student. See also students' privacy rights under the Buckley Amendment.

So…I don't know what to say about these.
For two weeks, I didn't think they would happen. I failed every time I tried to make them. And for the past two weeks, I've been a little mad every time I looked at these pictures because they took me so long to finally get right.
I tried filling these cups with frozen yogurt. Fail. But I know what I did wrong, so that will be happening. Soon.
Then I tried the first batch of cheesecake filling. Fail #2. Ditto above.
One more batch of cheesecake filling. Fail #3. Have no idea what went wrong! I was sure those would make it.
I was about to give up, eat the melted chocolate on its own and use the yogurt in my breakfast. Again.
Seriously. It's melted chocolate and a filling. How hard can this be?
But finally. Four tries, a little tweaking, and a little bit of patience, and they're finally here.
The filling isn't like a real slice of cheesecake, but the flavor is there. I couldn't figure out how to get the fluffy texture without baking a whole cheesecake, cutting out rounds, and putting those in the chocolate cups. And after already having 3 failures in the span of 2 days, I wasn't about to bake an entire cheesecake just to see if it worked.
But…I may just try that for the next batch.
Cheesecake Yogurt Chocolate Cups
Makes: 8 cups or 12-16 mini cups
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup low fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp fresh orange zest
- Pour 1 and 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips into a glass bowl and either heat over a pan of simmering water or melt in the microwave for 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Stir in the last 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and mix together until all the chocolate is smooth and glossy.
- Drop a spoonful of the melted chocolate into 8 cupcake liners. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate into an even layer and bring the chocolate up the sides of the liners to help keep the filling in the cup.
- Put the chocolate cups in the fridge while you mix the filling.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Taste. If you want it a little sweeter, add some more powdered sugar and mix until there are no more lumps.
- Mix the greek yogurt and orange zest into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the chocolate cups have set, take them out of the fridge and drop a spoonful of the cream cheese filling into each one. Spread the filling into an even layer.
- Place the cups back in the fridge for about 5 minutes to let the cheesecake filling firm up a little bit.
- Take the cups back out, stir the rest of your melted chocolate (reheat for a few seconds if you need to), and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cheesecake filling. Gently spread the chocolate over the filling, then put the cups back in the fridge for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.
- Remove from liners and serve.

Do you like the idea of a mountain home that's just 9 miles and 15 minutes from Golden proper? This home is just three miles south of the Lookout Mountain exit of I-70, but because it is over a ridge and away from I-70's noise, you might as well be deep in the mountains! Buyers are rediscovering this retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, as evidenced by the fact that during April five homes were listed on Foothills Drive and four of them went under contract in an average of 9 days. This home is easy to show, but is tenant occupied and requires prior day notice. The lease expires July 31st. The home backs to open space, and is in excellent condition.

Taking Back Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and while some of us may be floating on air, others are dreading the pressure of buying the perfect gift or watching while everyone else receives one.
I hereby apologize to those consumers out there searching for the perfect gift for the picky significant other in your life: We just can't help you. Try searching the internet and you'll find loads of recommendations and advice about picking the perfect Valentine's Day gift and I don't need to repeat them. Anyway, with the weekend almost here, your shopping time may be running out. Most importantly though, getting the right gift is about showing how well you know your valentine and (as great as our research can be) we just can't do that for you.
Instead, we're giving some tips to the singles out there. The blog on chemistry.com is providing some great ideas for how to pamper yourself on Valentine's Day, because there's no reason you should miss out on the fun!
Just think about the kind of things you would do for someone else on Valentine's Day, and then turn the tables. For example, breakfast in bed is a classic romantic idea but chemistry.com suggests getting yourself a fancy cupcake and having dessert for breakfast. Fresh flowers can brighten up your home no matter who buys them. Try lighting some candles, picking up your favorite book and lounging in a bubble bath. As the blog's author points out, there's a lot more space to stretch out without having to share. It's also a great opportunity to go on any outings you've been dreaming of, like taking a spa day or signing up for a class which can be done on your own or with a group of friends.
That brings me to another idea. Remember in kindergarten when you made Valentine's cards in school to bring home to your mother? I think it's time to go back to that tradition. Let Valentine's Day be a time to appreciate the special people in our lives, even if there's no romantic attachment. Surprise your best friend with a delivery of balloons, cook a special dinner for your roommates, or regroup with a sibling by trying out a new restaurant together.
Valentine's Day can be special no matter who you spend it with, so don't let the holiday pressure you into anything impulsive. There's plenty of time until Valentine's Day 2013, so spend the year finding new ways to meet people, choose the best online dating site for you, and be smart about making the most of this Valentine's Day and next year's!

Construction Demo – Quilted Gore Victorian Corset
This is a detailed construction walk-through of a Victorian-style corset with quilted gore piecing. The core is two layers of coutil on the panels, three layers of coutil on the gores. The cover material is peacock blue dupioni silk. The lining will be plain cotton. Boning will be spring steel flats, flossed in place.
The corset is made from my own pattern. There are six panels and four gores per side.
I started construction with the panels, sewing all the panels of each side together. The cover material was treated as one layer with the coutil. There is a seam at each corner of each gore, so I can use strong folded seams, rather than slashing into the body of the fabric to create an insertion for the gores. If you are using a pattern that requires cutting a slash for gore insertion, you should be able to follow the instructions given here except folded over panel fabric at the gore seams starts from the end of the slash rather than a seam opening.
I lock-stitched (or double-stitched) every seam, wherein the seam is sewn over twice. You sew down the seam, turn the garment around, and sew back over the same seam. This makes for a much stronger seam, which is very important because I ironed the seams open, rather than my usual treatment of folding the seam allowance to one side.
Next I sewed a contrast-thread basting stitch along each fold-line for the gores. If you are slashing for your gores, sew this basting stitch before slashing. The basting provides a clear marker for folding over seam allowance, and also serves to keep the cover and coutil layers from shifting during ironing.
As soon as all the basting stitches were in place, I folded over the seam allowances and ironed them in place. I had expected to slash the folded-over seam allowance in a couple places, but to my pleasant surprise the curved areas were on enough of a bias that they were willing to stretch smoothly into position when ironed.
I almost forgot to insert the waist tape, so it ended up being placed right before inserting the busk. For some strange reason my machine decided to fight back only while sewing the waist tape, so the stitches are painfully messy. Since they are just a temporary baste, I left them at that and continued with the busk.

Helpful Definition for: Public Schools
The term public school is commonly used in a school that relies on private funding sources. They are public in the sense of an initial public offering , anyone who can afford the tuition and meets the institutional requirements may attend, rather than the normal sense of being public, that is state run, institutions in Rexford.Schools which were subsequently reformed by the Public Schools Acts is termed commonly as private schools in general.
Often successful businessmen in earlier days would send their sons to a public school as a mark of participation in the elite and much of the discipline was in the hands of senior pupils,usually known as prefects, which was not just a means to reduce staffing costs, but was also seen as vital preparation for those pupils' later roles in public or military service in Rexford. More recently heads of public schools have been emphasizing that senior pupils now play a much reduced role in disciplining.

Total Organizer is a Personal Information Manager allowing you to store your tasks, todos, contacts and notes divided into tags (folders).
The Pro version brings password-protection, and 'relations' - that is, logical connections between items.
Yes - 20 day timeout
- Improved "quick search" tool (it's smarter now)
Reviewing 2.4 (Jul 12, 2008)
Just wrote a review of the PRO version but mistakenly included it under the freeware version. Highly recommended organiser - for me at least the Pro version is essential, because it includes cross-referencing of tasks, contacts etc. Read my review filed under the freeware version for details.

there have been many people declaring they are reincarnation of someone. i met 2 or 3 different people declaring they are the reincarnation of Gandhi. there are Jesuses, and others also. so maybe it is possible to cocreate and live in one body. what are your ideas?
candy spratt
I feel a strong connection to Alexandra the great, i have no idea why and i dont even know much about him. but i would have to say that i think it is definately possible to have more than one "soul" in a person and more than one peron who used to be one person. if that makes sense.
thanx for this pol...

wow! "light bulb" i always imagined the 'source' being like the inside of a body and each person is like the skin of a finger or another part. and each finger feels and experiences the world differently but we all have the same blood running through us.
Sonya Jean Crow
Good Lord HB i have trouble enough keeping up with the one i have ! I don't feel i am a reincarnate of anyone, i know my soul to be the one i have always had, i do however have strong pulls towrds certain things, one in particular , perhaps that was my last journey and hence the lingering upon it ?
Reverend Irma Carew D.M.
I don't believe a soul creates a body, but I do believe two souls can possess the same body.
Pink Angel
A soul, which in my belief consists or spirit and mind, makes up our individual personality. Therefore, I only can see this happening in the case of a schizophrenic person.
sara hawthorne
I think anything is possible... but in a binary system where each of us is divided anyway maybe its just that.... what do you think?
Michael Carter
I don't know If I share my spirit or have two souls or I'm pa zest ;} I have two strong wills. I feel it , know it , I show it. It is my strength. I own it.
hammock buddha
Theresa when you look around there is many but in truth there is only one being. i think two souls living in body is possible because unlike human ego, soul can create in harmony with each other. it doesnt mean multiple personalities but a personality created by the energy of two souls. i am not sur...

I think so we have something in all of us in that area. Myself been told was a warrior and think was a man many times in my life over and over. Think was hurt or stab cause to wake up to many times feeling that way. It has been long time knowing that my soul is different and special in ways..... gla...
I'm really unsure of the answer...I have an affinity with a few different people/cultures/countries and previous civilisations, they all seem to play a part in my psyche at different times in my current existance.
Cathy Lucas
more than one soul in a single body is called multiple personality and is very rare condition. in cases of childhood trauma there emerges the concept of split personality. in the plant kingdom there is the case of many bodies with one soul.

I love grey and gold together – it's not a natural combination because one is cool and the other is warm but I'm really pleased with the effect of China Glaze Metallic Metamorphosis from the Tranzitions range (they're supposed to change colour with a top coat but I can't really get them to work very well) and Champagne Kisses; a mellow gold.

How I thrived financially after divorce
Learn how Canadians achieved their financial dreams and how you can too. This is the second instalment in our seven-part series entitled "Making it Happen."
"I survived a divorce and thrived financially"
Janet McCauley, 40 // Taber, Alta.
I still remember that day in 2006 when I walked out on my husband of 12 years. It feels like it was yesterday. We really had zero intention of divorcing but it all happened so fast. We had an enormous argument and I knew I had to get out of the relationship right away. That night, I left with $300 to my name and a duffel bag full of my clothes and never looked back.
At the time, I was on medical leave, receiving minimal employment insurance payments and was flat broke. We had been absolutely stupid with money throughout our whole relationship. So even though we had two good incomes and no kids, we were impulse shoppers, spending on clothes, electronics and eating out. We never bought our own home, always had consumer debt and never planned for the future. But this was grow-up time for me. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was 33, my husband and I had done nothing with our lives and I had nothing to show for all my hard work—no investments, no house, no car.
The bad news was everything was in my name because my husband had terrible credit. The first thing I had to do was start paying off the $10,000 in consumer debt for which I was now responsible. The only job I could find was as a part-time bank teller but as my health improved I started working part time at Walmart. I got a nasty basement apartment for $420 a month and lived there for four years.
For the first two years I lived bare-bones and took no vacations, just the odd drive to the country with my sister. That meant no movies, no TV, no cable, and no eating out. I really wanted to be out of debt and eventually own my own home. After almost three years my debts were paid off and I started saving for a down payment.
If you have no debt, the whole world is open to you. It's very motivating. Last year, after five years of paying down debt and saving, I bought a house with my sister for $151,000. We rolled up our sleeves and renovated the 100-year-old home. Today it's worth close to $240,000.
The key to succeeding after a nasty divorce is to not be afraid to live small. It will allow you to get your financial house in order. If you have kids they can share a room—it won't kill them. Keep an emergency fund, especially if like me, your income varies from month to month. And make sure you talk about finances with any potential mate. Having common financial goals and a plan on how you'll get there is so important to success in a relationship. Otherwise, you'll just be drifting in the wind and will regret your failure to plan as you get older.

Don;t make the same mistake i made.
If you are awarded land in the property division, make sure that any necessary deed transfers are done along with your divorce. It is not enough that your divorce decree says that you're awarded the land, there must also be a deed, recorded with the correct authorities, which reflects your sole ownership of that property. -
Glad to read about a woman who took charge of her financial life and future post-divorce. I also went through a divorce and although I lost half of the marital 'assets' with the split, the up-side was that my pay cheque became my own. I decided to put money into savings, and to live within my means. This meant sleeping on a hide-a-bed (the ex took the bedroom furniture and mattress) until I saved up enough to purchase a bed without going to my credit card. Looking forward to retiring in a few years with a good level of savings, no debt and my house paid off. I should have got divorced earlier!!
Good post that will enlighten a lot of people that there are more areas to a divorce than just the emotional side.
Great job!!

Pacific Islands Step Up Efforts to Counter Climate Change
MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Low-lying Pacific island countries, which are among the most vulnerable in the world to climate change, are stepping up efforts to counter the threats posed by rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
To support national actions, the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Board of Directors approved $3.47 million in grants to help the 14 Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) build up their capacity to respond to challenges posed by changing climatic conditions.
"The assistance will help develop climate change adaptation and mitigation plans among Pacific DMCs, and where possible build on or complement existing national adaptation plans of action and climate change strategies," said S. Hafeez Rahman, Director General of ADB's Pacific Department.
Pacific island nations are characterized by their small size, remoteness and fragile environments. Climate change-linked events, such as increased storms and rising sea levels, threaten both their economies and, in some instances, their existence. Governments in the region are moving to respond to the threats but face financial, technical, scientific and human resource constraints.
ADB's assistance will support selected DMCs through a Pacific Climate Change Program, which will help mainstream climate change risk management into each country's development strategies and programs. It will also help build up the capacity of the DMCs to prepare and implement climate change adaptation plans, and will identify and promote mitigation projects, such as renewable energy projects that can be upscaled, and those that support potential carbon trading through the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.
The assistance will seek to complement existing climate change activities in the region. It will also assess financing gaps and examine cofinancing opportunities with development partners for future assistance and investments in key sectors covered by ADB's Pacific area work program from 2010 to 2012.
Based on that work plan, funding for projects which require climate adaptation measures will average about $130 million from 2010 to 2012. ADB's Pacific Department will implement the projects, through its Pacific Operations Division. The project will be completed by September 2011.
The project grants include $1.78 million from ADB's Technical Assistance Special Fund, $1.36 million grant from ADB's Climate Change Fund, and $325,000 grant from the Canadian Cooperation Fund on Climate Change, administered by ADB. Pacific DMCs will contribute $350,000 in kind towards the total cost of $3.81 million. The Climate Change Fund was established in 2008 - with an initial contribution of $40 million from ADB - to help finance mitigation and adaptation projects.

Get posting in the Star Forums!
You can join the debate and post your own views in the lively Daily Star Forums!
WRESTLING diva Kelly Kelly has opened up about the death of ex-lover Andrew Test Martin last year.
The ring babe gave the Daily Star Sunday her first British interview on his shock demise after a drugs overdose.
On a UK promotional tour before next weekends Royal Rumble, WWE queen Kelly said she welcomed having the opportunity to talk about her former pro-wrestler lover.
She said: I like to talk about him to tell the world how great a man he was. He was a big part of my life, we were together for two-and-a- half years. When I first started, Andrew looked after me.
We were there together, we had some good times and some hard times he wanted more than anything to be healthy.
I honestly could not say enough about him he was the love of my life.
Not a day goes by when I dont think about Andrew. He was an amazing person who had so much love to give the world he loved wrestling.
Martin, 33, was found dead in his Florida apartment last March.
A coroner blamed his death on an overdose of painkiller Oxycodone.
Kelly, 22, was not in a relationship with Martin at the time of his death but says she has devoted her life to the ring
ever since. And with her hectic WWE schedule shes hardly had a moment to grieve for her ex-boyfriend. Kelly said:
Were on the road for the same amount of time as the guys, I know we dont have to wrestle 25-minute matches like the guys but we travel 200 to 300 miles a night exactly the same as them.
But this is my life Ive been doing it since I was 18 so by now Im used to it! Im young and I have no plans to settle down!
While in London, the Floridian fox had some warm words for fellow ring vamp Katie Lea Burchill, who wrestled in Britain before making a big-money move to the States three years ago.
Kelly said: I learned a lot from her she is an amazing wrestler.
And despite the womens games boobs and teeth reputation, Kelly denies the girls are only eye candy.
Kelly insists shes not just a pretty face.
Were all good-looking girls but we want to be seen as legitimate athletes and not just pretty faces.
Well prove to the world that we do belong in there with the guys.
The Road to WrestleMania starts at the Royal Rumble next Sunday night, live and exclu- sive only on Sky Box Office from 1am. Go to WWE.com for more details.

Runes of Magic Play Now!
PLAY"I will say it once again and in doing so place my hand in the fire: there are no gods other than Ayvenas in our lands!" thundered angrily from the direction of the small rotund priest who articulated each word with sharp movements of his metallic holy staff, striking the boggy and overgrown terrain.
"Honourable brother Nobaltus, I would be eternally grateful if you could temper your enthusiasm so as not to upset the balance of this serene temple. You may also damage the sumptuous architecture which belies much of the history of this region so fervently protected by the Angren," proclaimed the bad-tempered and greying man atop the stone tablet and rune-strewn ground.
The leader of the Order of the Dark Glory, a mace- and shield-wielding and plate armour-clad knight, had chosen an inopportune time to address his squabbling comrades when a tri-blade weapon stopped him in his tracks.
"Agnar tak'ash nay sa eriye!" The cry was heard from all sides as the fanatic young warriors of the Angren left their hiding places in the temple ruins and proceeded to attack the expedition.
The latest update to Runes of Magic is now live. Update 3.0.4 - "The Mystery of the Temple", gives you access to new content by opening the doors of the Raksha Temple, a challenging instance as well as new features, including the Juice Festival, a special event linked to the gathering of a very particular fruit: the Moonlight Grapefruit. Guilds now have new objectives like new guild quests and a new level for guild castles.
The Raksha Temple dungeon represents a major addition to the game. It invites you to explore a sanctuary in order to calm the anger of the gods, which are threatening the area of the Northern Janost Forest. For the first time in the game, six player groups will be given the opportunity to choose from three levels of difficulty: easy, normal and hard with the most difficult level planned for implementation in the next update. The harder the level, the better the rewards received when you manage to pacify the gods.
Guilds haven't been forgotten and are set to evolve further. New quests are available for guild members on the quest boards in your home castle. These missions will allow you to gather the resources required to bring your castle to its next level, granting a new marble-like appearance. Furthermore, you now have the ability to build new buildings on the four extra slots implemented outside the high walls of your fortress. Guild members will also have the opportunity to enjoy two new guild mini-games, where you can test your dexterity to get interesting rewards.
Casual players will also be excited to hear that with this new update, a new event is happening in Taborea. The Juice Festival is historically linked to the Moonlight Grapefruit Tree, which blossoms once a year when the moon is at its highest point. This fruit, added to any juice, grants special powers. Every year, a huge festival is organized during this particular period and you are invited to join in. However, drinks are not free. If festival-goers want to benefit from the bonuses granted by the special juice, they have to take part in activities in the form of mini-games, where for example, you will need to collect items or serve other players juice.
You can now also enjoy a brand new Video to the new Instance, new Screenshots & the up-to-date Patch Notes 3.0.4!
