Charterhouse is a Church of England foundation with its own Chapel which is a Peculiar (Peculiar – does not come under the Diocese of London) with the Master as the "Ordinary" of the Chapel. The services are ordered according to the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. In addition to Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer – Monday-Saturday, Holy Communion is celebrated on Sundays and Saints Days. There is a small chapel in the Queen Elizabeth II Infirmary dedicated to St Bruno, the founder of the Carthusian Order (1084).
The Chapel is in three parts. The oldest is to the south which forms the main aisle. This was the chapter house of the Carthusian Priory and was built in 1414. Immediately to the north is the Tomb Aisle constructed by Francis Carter in 1614 to accommodate the grand tomb of the founder of Sutton's Hospital, Thomas Sutton. On its north side is the Transept, designed by Redmond Pilkington and added in 1824 to accommodate the expanding number of pupils in the school. In 1842 the Walker organ was installed at the western end of the Tomb Aisle above the splendid 17th century organ screen. Later, in 1844, the earliest recorded stained glass window by Charles Clutterbuck, which shows the Crucifixion, was installed above the altar, which is in the main aisle.
Leading to the Chapel is Chapel Cloister, also designed by Francis Carter, and much restored after damage during the Second World War.
This cloister is a place of burial and memorial. The windows face Chapel Court which is the site of the original church – a chantry chapel for the victims of the Black Death – which dates from 1349. It became the Priory Church and on 15 January 1372 Sir Walter de Mauny was buried in front of the High Altar. His grave was discovered during archaeological work after the war.
A number of acclaimed musicians have links with the chapel including Henry Purcell, John Christopher Pepusch (1667-1752) who arranged the music for John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, and William Horsley (1774-1858), composer of the tune Horsley to which the hymn There is a green hill far away is sung. Charterhouse Chapel Organ.
Originally, the Brothers' burial ground was within the site and a few memorial stones remain on the wall which borders Clerkenwell Road. From 1854, Tower Hamlets Cemetery was used, until 1929, when part of the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Little Hallingbury in Essex became the Brothers' burial ground. An annual Thanksgiving Service takes place there in July.
The following words are in the original Charter dated 22 June 1611 establishing Thomas Sutton's Foundation and concerning the appointment of key personnel: "and also one learned and godly Preacher to teach and preach the word of God to all said persons, poor people, and children, and officers at or in the said house. The Preacher of Charterhouse (an ordained priest in the Church of England) and Deputy Master is a resident member of the community.
The photograph (right) is of the stone plaque in the Chapel. The present Organist is Brother Graham Matthews and former organist of Sheffield Cathedral. On Sundays the organ is played by Miss Elizabeth Norman.

Looks like a baby Echinocereus grusonii. |
E. grusonii for sure. These are very typical as seedlings. |
Hi I have a couple of these I have grown from seed. Some are very green with golden spines. But I have some others that are more pink/green in the body (they may have got a little tanned...) with white spines. They have exactly the same growth pattern, but with closer together tubercles. Is this the same species? a variation? Or are they something else entirely? On a different point, when do the tubercles become the ribs you see in old grusonii? Thanks Swiss |

Bring back 3D Doritos
We the undersigned are collectively interested in the reproduction and redistribution of 3D Doritos. We are all in agreement they were unique, delightful, and delicious. With today's technology and the 3D craze from movies, video games, to home televisions, promotion and marketing should be effective and minimal. It would be reaching a new generation of people and satisfying the ones who remember their originality. Please take a second to add you name to the list if you remember the deliciousness and wish to experience it again together we can all make this happen. Thank you

About Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project
About Our Rescue Group...
We rescue in a low income area of Houston called the 5th Ward. We founded Forgotten Dogs of the 5th Ward Project November of 2011 to address what we saw as an obvious need to help the many stray dogs we were seeing in there. We set up feeding stations and network and pull as many as we can when a foster home or no-kill rescue group says they can take them in. One of our goals is education and we provide residents with vouchers that cover the complete cost of having their animals altered and vaccinated against rabies. In addition, we provide other vaccinations and worming in the field free of charge. Since November 2011 we have grown in size and have rescued over 660 dogs and a few cats from the area. We are launching a program called Habitat for Hounds through which we will donate doghouses and blankets to residents for their dogs that are kept outside. Our website is forgottendogs.org and we are a 501c3.Come Meet Our Pets...

From Wikipedia
Top: Boca vs River at La Bombonera Below: River vs Boca at El Monumental | |
City or region | Buenos Aires, Argentina |
First contested | 24 August 1913 |
Teams involved | Boca Juniors, River Plate |
Most wins | Boca Juniors (118 wins) |
Most player appearances | Reinaldo Merlo (42 matches) |
Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina between Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate. It derives from the Spanish usage of "clásico" to mean derby, with the prefix "super" used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football. According to some statistics, commandeering more than 70% of all Argentine football fans between them,[1][dead link] with Boca claiming 40% and River 32%.[2]
The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of the fiercest and most important derbies.[3] In April 2004, the English newspaper The Observer put the Superclásico at the top of their list of "50 sporting things you must do before you die", saying that "Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about."[4]
Contents |
Origins and background
The two clubs both have origins in La Boca, the working class dockland area of Buenos Aires, with River being founded in 1901 and Boca in 1905. However, River moved to the affluent district of Núñez in the north of the city in 1925. Since then Boca Juniors has been known as the club of Argentina's working class or the people's club, with many Boca fans coming from the local Italian immigrant community. Boca fans are actually known as Xeneizes (Genoese).[2] By contrast, River Plate became known by the nickname, Los Millonarios (The Millionaires), with a supposedly upper-class support base.[3] Both clubs do though have supporters from all social classes.[2]
The first ever recorded Superclásico was a friendly played on 2 August 1908, when Boca prevailed 2-1. The first official match was played on 24 August 1913, with River winning 2-1.[5]
The Superclásico is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, with what the BBC describe as "a sea of colourful flowing banners, screams and roars, chanting, dancing and never-ending fireworks."[3] Both sets of supporters sing passionate chants aimed at their rivals, often based on popular Argentine rock band tunes. Each stadium, Boca's La Bombonera and River's El Monumental are known to bounce with the simultaneous jumping of the fans. At times the matches have been known to end in fights between the violent factions on both sides or with the police.[6][dead link]
Boca fans refer to River supporters as gallinas (chickens) claiming the lack of guts of River fans and players. Despite the fact that their club traces back its roots to La Boca, River fans refer to their Boca rivals as los chanchitos (little pigs) because they claim their stadium, located in the less affluent La Boca area, smells most of the time[3], as well as bosteros (manure collectors) a reference to the smell of a polluted river in La Boca.[2] Another infamous slur, coined in the late 1990s over remarks of Boca's forward Diego Latorre, is to brand Boca Juniors as "The Cabaret", due to the alleged aspiration of some players to steal the limelight.[7]
The rivalry between the two clubs can also affect players, particularly those who are transferred between the two clubs. Cataldo Spitale was the first to make the change, when he left Boca to sign for River in 1933. Oscar Ruggeri, who moved to River from Boca in 1985 said, "It's not easy I can tell you. One side looks on you as a traitor and the other doesn't really trust you. You need time to adapt and a lot of character to win people over." Some players have gone so far as to state that they would not play for the other club such as River's Uruguayan player Enzo Francescoli while Diego Maradona during his time playing for Argentinos Juniors, refused to even consider a move to El Monumental, stating that his dream was to play for Boca.[8]
Puerta 12 tragedy
On 23 June 1968 in El Monumental after a match between the two teams 71 fans were killed in a crush at gate 12 and 150 fans injured. The disaster was the worst football related incident in the history of Argentine football and the majority of the dead were teenagers and young adults. The average age of the victims was 19.
There are various claims as to what exactly happened that day. Some claim that the disaster happened after Boca Juniors fans threw burning River flags from the upper tiers of the stadium, causing a stampede of their own fans in the lower tier.[9]
Others claim that it happened after River fans arrived at the Boca section, causing the stampede of the visiting fans. Yet others claim that gate 12 was locked, or would not open at the time, and that the fans at the back did not hear the ones at the front telling them to stop coming out. William Kent, River's former president, claimed that the police were the culprits, as they began repressing Boca fans after they had thrown urine at them from the stands. Some witnesses claim that the turnstiles to the exit were blocked by a huge iron pole.[10]
After three years of investigation a government enquiry found no-one guilty, much to the disappointment of the families of the victims. Since the tragedy, the gates at El Monumental have been identified by letters instead of numbers.[11]
At the end of the 1968 season the 68 football clubs in the Argentine Football Association collected 100,000 pesos for the families of the deceased.

Are You A Bully & Don't Even Know It?
By Rhona Berens
One brave and fabulously honest mom, Rachel Macy Stafford, recently posted a piece on HuffPost Parents about bullying her daughter. How did she bully her? She had very high expectations and punished her — usually with harsh words or an angry tone of voice — when she didn't fulfill those expectations, or made mistakes, or did things that interfered with her schedule and responsibilities. As Stafford courageously and compassionately admits:
"I bully myself. And when I bully myself, it makes me unhappy and then I treat others badly."
Stafford's words ring true for so many of us, whether or not we have kids. Our relationship with ourselves — specifically, our bad relationship habits, like self-criticism and judgment, or our issues with self-trust — not only impact, but often define our relationships with others. To break it down: If we bully ourselves, chances are we also bully those we love, like our spouses and kids.
Given that we sometimes model bullying for our children (however accidentally), how can we readjust our attitudes and prevent them doing it to others, or from staying silent if they get bullied? Keep reading...
Here are 4 suggestions to stop the bullying cycle in our homes:

Something is eating my gardenia's leaves. They seem to be targeting the smaller plants (I have a row of large bushes) which are planted outdoors. I don't see any bugs on them and there doesn't appear to be residue, just lots of eaten leaves. Any ideas? |

I would keep an eye on this to see if I could identify what is doing that which might be a cutter bee or some other beneficial that you would really not want to harm. |

Cut Bees cut circles to use to close of their egg cases, usually in the early summer. This does not look like a Cut Bee's work. |

ALICE + OLIVIA'S STACEY BENDET TALKS SOCIAL MEDIA: At any given moment during the launch of the Alice + Olivia and MAC makeup collaboration Wednesday night at the Beauty Bar, Stacey Bendet could be found tweeting and uploading twitpics throughout the party. The founder of the eight-year-old brand sat down with WWD to discuss her Twitter, Facebook and blogging habits, and why she thinks press releases are becoming obsolete.
Alice + Olivia's blog: blog.aliceandolivia.com
Alice + Olivia's Twitter: @ alice_olivia
Stacey Bendet's Twitter: @staceybendet
WWD: You've become an avid blogger/tweeter. How do you find the time?
Stacey Bendet: It's funny, I resisted Twitter at first and I'm so weird about following other people. I barely have time to follow myself, let alone others. And I started using Facebook pretty actively awhile ago and I found that people were very interested in what I was doing or what we were working on. So when we started our summer tour, we decided to document the whole project. The whole thing was really making over America and doing good things and promoting girl power. We felt that people were pretty interested in what we were doing in each city and the people we were helping, so we decided to expand our blog. It grew organically — as we went, we posted pictures and blogged about what we were doing.
WWD: Why do you think social media is so important for your brand?
SB: It's a really direct and efficient way to reach the customer. It also lets you share a little bit of your personality. Sometimes I post personal or funny or random things and it lets you share a little about yourself and your company with people in a not-so-intrusive way. It's not like you've allowed your whole life to be videotaped, it's like little tidbits.
In terms of Facebook and Twitter, they are so instrumentally and incredibly important in our business and industry. People are always interested in what designers are doing and what they're working on and inspired by. Twitter, Facebook and blogs allow you to reach out to your customer and fans and in a very firsthand way.
WWD: How has it affected your daily life? You blog and tweet regularly, multiple times every single day. This must have some affect on your everyday life.
SB: The one thing that affects your life the most is a BlackBerry — because it keeps you up to date. I think with Twitter and Facebook, I'm always surprised when people know things about me, and they're like, "I saw the pictures on Facebook." I forget that as I'm uploading, people are reading it. From a life perspective, I'm surprised when people know everything that I'm doing and I'm like, "Wait I didn't tell you that!" And again, because I don't necessarily have the time to go on other people's accounts that much, I don't realize that people actually read mine. Or I'll write something and another magazine or blog will pick it up and I think it's really amusing. It's only getting bigger.

Practical Experience As a Beginning Programmer?
Side projects (328 comments)
I'm sure this has already mentioned here, but I go through a lot resumes for junior dev positions. What will ALWAYS stand out are the people who have their own projects outside of school or work.
That will IMMEDIATELY get my attention, as I'm basically looking for someone who loves -- or at least likes -- to code. It's worth mentioning that the majority of applicants I see do NOT have any side projects, and so basically fade into the background. I'll also usually ask for code samples as well.
Obviously, it would be great if any side projects were relevant to the job being applied for, but this does not have to be the case, particularly for less senior positions.
Hope that helps

new springs??
just ordered a set of 5100 to level my 10 dc 4x4. is that all i need or do i need new springs?
It's up to you can use your stock springs or get aftermarket. Do you have a sr5, trd sport or trd off road?
trd sport
another?? how much will having the leaf TSB lift the rear
Ride Rite Air Bag Springs... had them on my '05 DC, and they solved the 'harsh ride' bottoming-out, plus leveled the truck when I was loaded down (raised it too).
The 5100's were made for your stock springs but you can get aftermarket lift springs and set the 5100's at 0" height cause thats what I did. I believe the rear TSB gives you about 1" of lift.

here are a couple pictures. Admittedly I'm a little self-conscious because my kitchen is small and has several 'GW no no's' that we just couldn't work around. I'm hoping it's a million times more functional for our family, even if it's not quite as functional as the ideal :-) I'm working with a 13 x 10 space that has FIVE doorways and one window (pass through). |

Looks great! No worries here - the GW Kitchen Police aren't going to lock you up for doing things that are deemed "less GW kitchen"...everyone here just wants people to get the best kitchen that they can within their space and budget. Sometimes compromises have to be made...we all know that. We just want to see the eye candy and hear that you're happy with how it turned out. Sometimes, even if a kitchen isn't "ideally" laid out, it's still a million times better than the prior kitchen's layout and functionality. I see a sample tile and a paint chip...looks like you're moving ahead nicely. Congratulations! Can't wait to see the rest. |

I think it is gorgeous, and your space looks wonderful! Hey we've got what we've got and cannot do but work with it. My reno is not Houzz-worthy but that is not what I was aiming for. :o) |
I really like this. May have missed previous posts but did you stain, scratch et cetera test? Assuming leathered jet mist holds up really well? Any fingerprint, watermark issues? |
I love your counters! It all looks beautiful to me. Can't wait to see your final reveal. |
Very nice. The counter look really nice with your cabinets. Curious, what color are the cabinets and mfg of them? |

Love that countertop! Your pictures reaffirm my plans to go with Jet Mist. Looks like you are doing a carrara backsplash as well and I think that looks great. |
Beautiful countertops, they look like soapstone. I like how you used the stone on the ledge above your sink. Love your white inset cabinets & light fixtures. |

Lesmobos - no, no testing before installation. I have a family member who has this and loves it. I just risked it, which is comical considering the previous 2 months had been spent gathering gray/white quartzite samples for testing. Aries61 - cabinets are Dynasty/Omega in pearl finish |
It's beautiful! Does it feel wonderful, too? I love your cabinets, too--it all looks like it's coming along well! |
I'll bet that stone feels as nice as it looks! |

Thanks all! I really think this was the right choice for us. I had my heart set on Super White and had a gorgeous slab on hold, but I just knew it wasn't the right choice (for us) given the etching. This feels more casual and appropriate for our home. I am planning to do carerra marble subway tiles so I can still get that gray/white look in the room. Hopefully it all pulls together! |
- Posted by cookingbuff (My Page) on Fri, Apr 11, 14 at 15:56
Beautiful kitchen-cabs and counter! I am swaying towards a subway marble-like backsplash also. Are you using real marble or porcelain or a tile look alike? I am trying to cut down on some expense and the marble is pretty expensive but I do love the look... |
- Posted by kitchen-reno (My Page) on Fri, Apr 11, 14 at 16:54
cookingbuff - I'm looking at real marble right now. It's actually all the tile shop near me has, and b/c we have a small space, it doesn't break the bank. Now I'm just struggling with what paint color to use! |
Is Jet Mist a granite or quartz? It looks great! |
- Posted by kitchen-reno (My Page) on Fri, Apr 11, 14 at 17:00
it's a granite! |
Your kitchen looks fabulous. Love your cabinets and counters together. Jet Mist honed was on our short list. MJ |
Oh wow, it looks so great! Love the jet mist with the white cabinets. Congrats on getting that done. I look forward to seeing what you do with the backsplash. I am definitely leaning towards following in your footsteps. |
Stunning! Can't wait to see more. |
This gorgeous and I love your cabs and fixtures too! |
It looks great, and the kitchen does too! It too was on my shortlist, but was a bit darker than we wanted.. |
I love it! Turned out great! |

After a couple weeks of above average temps and sunshine, we're back into "real" April: Cold and grey and uninspiring.
We had to put our cold box into hibernation during the warm spell, and we're now back on the electric model for food cooling. Our little Avanti is using about .65 kilowatt hours/day, which is almost exactly as advertised. Combined with the Vestfrost freezer in the basement, we're using about 1.3 kilowatt hours/day to cool and freeze our food. That's not bad for 9 cubic feet of fridge and 8 cubic feet of freezer.
Still, it's a notable drain on our system when the days are cloudy. We've still managed to avoid the generator (over 10 weeks now), but that's only because we've had tons of sun. Next month, we install our new photovoltaics, and then we'll be rolling in the amp hours. Can't wait.

Just because you took a lot of content that wasn't yours doesn't mean that you can't eventually add your own.

7 Absurd Feel Good Movies That We Really Really Really Ridiculously Need Right Now
Cinematic Listology By Monika Bartyzel on August 21, 2014 | Be the First To CommentFrom Robin Williams' suicide to James Foley to the shooting death of Mike Brown and the ongoing tension in Ferguson, Missouri, that it inspired, it's been a really crappy month. The idea that there's always something bad going on seems to have reached new heights, obliterating the Rule of Three and morphing social media into a daredevil experience – stay current if you dare. In times like these we need moments of recalibration, feel-good experiences that allow us a reprieve from the negative. As movie fiends, film is the perfect safe-haven, or so one would think. During the mess of drama this week I started Googling feel-good movie lists and was shocked to see how many required the viewer to feel bad before they felt good (if at all). Lists included the melancholic Little Miss Sunshine, Robin Williams' own dark suicide comedy World's Greatest Dad, the Holocaust drama Schindler's List, and Up, which requires you to go through cinematic devastation before the sweet journey. One list of movies "that instantly make your day better" even includes Magnolia. Another at IMDb is labeled as "feel-good melancholic atmosphere." Sure, these films might make some viewers feel good, for whatever reason – we all have beloved films that other people can't understand – but they aren't "feel-good" films guaranteed to brighten everyone's day. They are not movies someone who is feeling bad can turn on to lighten their mood and take them out of their angst and pain. So, in an attempt to […]

Over/Under: 'This is Spinal Tap' vs. 'A Mighty Wind'
Features By Nathan Adams on March 6, 2012 | Comments (12)The mockumentary is a relatively recent genre of storytelling whose origins are probably as recent as the last hundred years. And that's including all stories that could be considered mockumentaries by stretching the definition. The actual term, "mockumentary," is even newer. By some accounts it first came into use when Rob Reiner used it to describe his 1984 cult classic This is Spinal Tap. Adding a word to the lexicon could be seen as a pretty big accomplishment for a goofy comedy, but, despite its subject matter, the legacy of this film shouldn't be downplayed. Few movies live on as long and remain as popular as Spinal Tap has. Every few years a new generation of college kids discover this thing, and its legend just keeps growing. Far from being an originator, A Mighty Wind is a later film from the crew of mockumentarians led by Christopher Guest. And despite the fact that it's full of a lot of good work, it often gets a bad rap. Guest and crew's previous efforts, Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, were so ridiculously funny that A Mighty Wind gets unfairly judged in comparison. And that's unfortunate for a couple reasons. For one, those first two Guest-directed mockumentaries were such a high water mark for the genre that it was probably unfair to expect them to keep producing at such a level. And secondly, A Mighty Wind goes for funny a bit less that its predecessors, and plays a bit more in […]

Exclusive: Director Sheldon Candis Talks Filming J. Cole's Tearjerking 'Crooked Smile' Video: 'He's My Ryan Gosling'
J. Cole's tearjerking visual for "Crooked Smile" not only pays tribute to the slain 7-year-old Aiyana Jones who was shot by a police officer during a 2010 home raid but delivers a strong message about racial profiling and the war on drugs. Director Sheldon Candis, whose latest cinematic contribution was the film Luv starring Common, recently spoke to VIBE about crafting an emotionally intense short film alongside Roc Nation's star student.
"J. Cole and everyone at Roc Nation basically contacted me and were like, 'Listen, we want to take 'Crooked Smile' and turn it into a social statement short film," Candis says. "Recently, we've had people lose their lives, innocent individuals during police raids from petty drug deals. ['Crooked Smile'] is a dedication to Aiyana Stanley Jones, a 7-year-old girl in Detroit who was unfortunately killed during a police raid."
It was the North Carolina-bred rapper, whose sophomore effort Born Sinner beat release date competitor Kanye West's Yeezus to gold status this past summer, who came up with the video's concept.
"I was on the phone with J. Cole and he was like, 'Listen, I really want to play Aiyana's older brother, so let's create a narrative story between me as this individual who does deal drugs... but is still a human being and he's so excited about spending the day with his little sister," he recalls, "but all the while the parallel is that there's a DEA agent who, on this day, is going to raid his home and then what happens when something tragic occurs."
Candis also gave kudos to Cole for nailing the performance. "I'm very proud of him. This is his first experience acting. He nailed it," he says. "He gives a very conflicted performance and it's all a very non-verbal, silent performance. He's my Ryan Gosling. (laughs)"

Bob O'Connor - Echoes
A young professional who was raised in the digital age prefers film and available light when he's behind a camera and goes high-tech in post
The Digital Connection
"Images are retouched to some extent," O'Connor says, "but I make an effort to represent what was there rather than to totally re-create something in Photoshop. It's all based off of one sheet of film and then selectively saturating, desaturating, burning, dodging—kind of taking what I could do in the darkroom one step further with contrast and color corrections. I like to get it roughly correct in-camera because it saves a lot of time on the other end. To do a little bit of work up front saves me a lot of time color-correcting in the end. Stuff that you could obviously never do in the darkroom, especially selectively color-correcting certain parts, I can't live without anymore.
"I've had some work in shows this year," continues O'Connor. "It's all been inkjet prints. I'm totally fine with inkjet prints; I think they look great. They can look just as good as a C-print. I have nothing bad to say about inkjet prints. I'm totally fine with them in a gallery way, and my portfolios are inkjet prints."
With no pressure from clients to capture digitally and no dissatisfaction with the quality of his scans, O'Connor would be content to grow old shooting film. The problem is that most other professionals don't feel the same way, so the necessary resources are becoming scarce.
"I've never thought that I won't be able to get film," he says. "I do feel like I won't be able to get Polaroid at some point in the future, but I don't think film will ever go away. That said, I do feel that my days shooting 4x5 film are numbered. Boston is a small town and the photo labs are closing here, so just getting the film processed in a timely manner is a problem. I never thought the reason I shoot digital could be that I can't get the film processed. It's looking more and more like some of the commercial work is going to have to be shot digital because of the lab end of things, not necessarily because I want to shoot digital."
Adds O'Connor, "I really do need to spend some time this year shooting digital and figuring out how my work can translate into that—at least get used to how I get my work to look the same way when shooting with a different camera. Because it's going to happen eventually."

Janet Jackson is Single!
When Janet Jackson's long-time boyfriend Jermaine Dupri failed to attend her brother Michael's funeral last week, many questioned whether or not the two were broken up.
While Dupri's friend explained that he was absent because he "doesn't attend funerals," now we seem to know the real reason why he wasn't there.
In the new issue of Us Weekly, a source says that Jackson and Dupri "have been moving in different directions for a while" and "His friends are telling people it's over."
There were even rumors earlier this year that Janet was pregnant, but it seems like that was just talk.
The reason for the split? The couple had started working on music together.
"You shouldn't mix business with pleasure," a mutual pal explains. "Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things separate."
Also, Janet and Jermaine wanted to live different kinds of lives. "Jermaine likes to be out there, mingling with everybody, and Janet's more shy," the source explains.
Janet has much more than a recent split to deal with, as she's been busy taking care of Michael's children and may even fight for custody of the young ones.
We're wishing Janet luck in this difficult time!
