Tomato Paste Saver: Most recipes call for only a small portion of tomato paste -- you use a tablespoon or two, and the rest invariably goes to waste. To save the remainder: Carefully open both ends of the can with a can opener. Remove one metal end, and discard it. Leave the other in place. Wrap the entire can in plastic wrap, and freeze overnight. The next day, use the metal end to push the frozen paste out the open end. Discard can, tightly rewrap unused portion, and store in freezer up to...

By Raj Giri | January 24, 2012 | Comments
The talent there wasn't as high as it should have been. It was kind of like just above an FCW or OVW. They were just bringing new guys all the time. Some of them looked like they still just belonged on the indies. Some of the guys I really liked as people but out there performing it was like, 'This isn't good TV.' I didn't like being on a show that wasn't good. I thought the stuff that me and Paul Burchill did was pretty good.
WrestlingINC: You defeated Paul Burchill in the mask versus career match and it seemed like you were off TV at that point, even though you won.
Helms: He came back then in a mask. I can't even remember what the hell happened. It was something. I wanted to go down to Smackdown. I thought he was going to RAW. I didn't want to be on RAW; I wanted to be on Smackdown. The fight with [Chris] Jericho happened and I'd already talked to Johnny [Ace]; my contract was up that July anyway. I talked to Johnny and said, 'I need to step away if I'm going to be on this show.' I didn't know what NXT was or how that was going to go down. I just thought I was going to be stuck on ECW for the remainder of my life. I talked about maybe going overseas or something like that, getting a different pace.
WrestlingINC: It seemed like the Jericho thing was just a drunken fight.
Helms: Yeah, it wasn't even a fight. It was like two drunken guys being idiots. It's one of those things where it's not necessarily in the spirit of the law. I got great friends in law enforcement so I've asked them, 'When you see a guy drunk do you have to arrest him?' 'No, you don't have to.' It's one of those things where if he's a danger to himself or some sh-t like that then yeah. If he's falling down in the street about to get run over, that's what the laws for. If you get drunk at a bar and you don't want to drive home so you decide to walk home, they could arrest you for that too. It's one of those laws that can be abused. I'm not saying it was abused in this case. We were just being idiots - nobody was hurt; nothing really happened. It was just something stupid.
We laughed about it. We didn't even know we were in trouble. Me and Chris had signed autographs and took pictures with all these cops. We didn't even know we were arrested really. They all pulled out their cell phones and we were taking pictures with them. I was looking at Chris like, 'Are we arrested?' and he's like, 'I don't know. I don't know what the f-ck's going on.' It was really silly.
WrestlingINC: Once the details came out it didn't seem like a big deal at all.
Helms: They tried to blow it up because Matt [Hardy] was there and they said that Matt ran away. No, it was over and everybody left. Nobody was running away; it was just over. I tried to walk to the hotel but I was pretty drunk. I realized I didn't know where the hell I was at. I would have just kept walking but I was lost.
WrestlingINC: Did that arrest lead to your release from WWE?
Helms: Because TMZ picked it up and tried to make a big deal out of nothing - it was just a lot of bad publicity. It's a publicly traded company so you can't have that sort of sh-t going on even though it's nothing. It's not something you want your athletes or superstars to be known for. Somebody needed a slap on the wrist and I was the low man on the totem pole. Like I said it kind of worked out. When Johnny called me I could tell he didn't want to let me go. I'd known him since WCW.

The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation's gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration's discussions.
A working group led by Vice President Biden is seriously considering measures backed by key law enforcement leaders that would require universal background checks for firearm buyers, track the movement and sale of weapons through a national database, strengthen mental health checks, and stiffen penalties for carrying guns near schools or giving them to minors, the sources said.

Solicitor Gen offers to resign, Law Min rejects it
New Delhi: In a surprise development,
Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam on Sunday offered to resign,
apparently upset over a government move to hire a private
lawyer to represent Telecom Ministry in the 2G scam case.
Subramaniam is understood to have spoken to Law Minister
Veerappa Moily to make the offer of resignation but the latter
rejected it, sources said here.
The sources said Subramaniam was apparently unhappy over
a move to hire a private lawyer to represent Telecom Ministry
in the 2G scam case in the Supreme Court.
Subramaniam is said to have felt slighted by the move,
the sources said.
The Solicitor General had in November last year come
under fire from the government after Supreme Court asked it to
file an affidavit on alleged "inaction" by Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh in preventing the then Telecom Minister A Raja
from allocating 2G spectrum in a controversial manner.
Subramaniam had sought to be dismissive about it but the
government has subsequently asked Attorney General G E
Vahanvati to represent the Prime Minister in the apex Court in
place of the Solicitor General.
Subramaniam continued to represent Department of
The government had also inducted eminent lawyer K K
Venugopal to represent CBI along with Additional Solicitor
General Haren Raval.

When He Heard That Boom Boxes Were Replacing Buglers at Military Burials, Vet Tom Day Issued a Clarion Call
Last year, when Day learned that a shortage of buglers—only 500 to cover the roughly 1,700 veterans who die daily—was forcing the Department of Defense to use recorded music at most burials, he took action. Day created Bugles Across America, a nonprofit association he runs out of his Berwyn, Ill., bungalow using his own funds. So far he has recruited 450 buglers in 47 states, and funeral directors around the U.S. know to call him or check his Web site for volunteers. "Vets are heroes," says Day, a sales rep for the Illinois State Lottery. "They deserve better than a boom box."
Day's troops share his dedication. "I'm a saxophone player, but I'm learning the bugle to help out," says Jacklyn Raymer, 15, the youngest volunteer. "I feel it's my duty,"
Day began his military career at Taft High School in Chicago, where he joined the Army ROTC. He went on to become a Marine sergeant and later served as a public information officer for the Navy and a bugler for the Coast Guard. Wed to second wife Donna, now 49, since 1978, he has two grown children.
No armchair recruiter, Day has ushered more than 550 of his fellow vets into the hereafter. Those left behind appreciate the special attention. Says Corinne Aultman, 53, whose uncle, a World War II vet, recently died: "When Tom played 'Taps,' it was so beautiful it made me cry."

Great Hotel and excellent value for the money.Posted Jul 6, 2016
Pros: Great Pool. Great atmosphere and location. And fantastic value.
Cons: Air conditioning - very old and noisy
Awesome place. Great Pool. Great atmosphere and location. And fantastic value. Only downside is the rooms get very hot at night(not well insulated) and so you have to leave the air conditioning on - which is normally ok but our air conditioner was very loud and sounded like a truck so it made sleep difficult. Otherwise everything else was great especially for the money and location.

A Desert Meeting Place with FriendsPosted Jun 25, 2016
Pros: Location, location, location. Such a quick and easy walk to shops, eateries, coffee shops and the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Cons: I would have liked having some light food service upon arrival or early morning without having to leave the premises.
Location: Visit the Palm Springs Art Museum. The main museum is a short walk away and worth the effort. Visit each floor and enjoy their cafe.
We came from the east and the west and met at Palm Mountain! Luckily we were located only stairs apart. We spent time together in our rooms or wandering downtown. Didn't have to drive to go around town as we hopped the free bus!

Walking distance to town -restaurants, shoppingPosted Jun 20, 2016

BOLOGNA, Italy, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- musiXmatch, a leading Music Player with the world's largest Lyrics catalog, has teamed with Gracenote to improve the speed and performance of its popular mobile App. The latest release of musiXmatch, now available in the App Store and Google Play, features up to five times the speed and performance of previous releases, allowing users to quickly identify songs playing from the radio, TV or in the background, and instantly access lyrics and purchase tracks via its new MusicID feature.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121218/SF29025LOGO)
Gracenote made improvements at every step in the music recognition process, from the way audio fingerprints are produced to how musiXmatch listens and identifies songs, including its interaction with the Gracenote database. The result of this collaboration is an App that can now identify songs within just a few seconds, and many popular tracks almost instantaneously. After songs are identified, musiXmatch delivers Cover Art from Gracenote and lyrics synced in time to the music.
"Gracenote's music recognition technology plays a critical role in how millions of music fans identify new artists and rediscover old favorites every day," said Massimo Ciociola, founder and CEO of musiXmatch. "We worked closely with the Gracenote team to fine tune musiXmatch performance, with the goal of incorporating improved recognition of trending artists and boosting response times."
Gracenote has analyzed and created metadata describing almost every album and song on the planet. Gracenote data is combined with Gracenote MusicID® recognition technology to make it possible for musiXmatch to identify songs by simply "listening" to a few seconds of the track and matching it to its unique audio fingerprint in the Gracenote database. Today, the Gracenote database receives more than 500 million queries everyday and more than 15 billion every month – making it one of the highest trafficked music data sources in the world.
"musiXmatch is quickly becoming one of fastest growing music recognition Apps worldwide and has the potential to disrupt the market," said Stephen White, president of Gracenote. "The latest release of musiXmatch is a great demonstration of our highly-tuned music recognition technology which emphasizes speed and accuracy, as well as improved coverage for popular and trending music."

Home > Press > UT Dallas Re-energizes Semiconductor Nano Research with Acquisition of New JEOL Atomic Resolution Microscope
|Dr. Moon Kim delivering introduction at "Electron Microscopy: Nano and Beyond" Seminar today at the University of Texas at Dallas on Thursday, March 18, 2010
JEOL USA and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) today jointly announced the University's acquisition of the new JEOL atomic resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The new ARM200F is an aberration-corrected TEM that achieves better than 1 Angstrom resolution in STEM and TEM and chemical analysis at the atomic level.
The announcement was made during a JEOL USA "Nano and Beyond" electron microscopy seminar held in the University's Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory. Dr. Moon Kim, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, hosted the seminar attendees during a tour of the future site of the new TEM, the Nano and Beyond Microscopy Lab, of which he is the Director.
With the acquisition of the ARM200F TEM, UT Dallas will advance its role as key contributor to the development of next-generation semiconductor devices and as a resource for local industry research and that of several technical consortiums.
"This is a great opportunity to further enhance the University's impact on the future development of semiconductor technology and re-energize nano research in this area," Dr. Kim said. UTD is a hub for two semiconductor research consortiums, infusing the area with new business opportunities: the Texas Fusion (Future Semiconductor Commercialization) consortium, financed by the South Korean government and the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, and the Silicon Wafer Engineering and Defect Science Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (SiWEDS IU/CRC), an independent center supported by the University and corporate members. UTD is also a part of the Southwest Academy of Nanoelectronics (SWAN), a nationally funded research center. Kim's Nano and Beyond lab has a staff of 14 members and is home to two field emission JEOL TEMs.
Nanotechnology research with the advanced capabilities of the new TEM will offer greater insight into atomic structures of device materials, allowing researchers to develop smaller and more efficient semiconductor chips, and explore novel nanomaterials for new semiconductor devices.
Dr. Kim anticipates that the availability of next-generation electron microscope technology will also be a major draw for materials researchers as well as fledgling tech firms producing peripheral imaging equipment.
JEOL USA introduced the ARM200F, a totally new TEM design from the ground up, with extraordinary stability and picometer resolution, in 2009. "We look forward to collaborating with Moon Kim and UT Dallas in advancing nanotech research with this new TEM. We're excited that we can participate in future projects using never-before-seen imaging resolution and chemical spatial resolution - all at acquisition speeds never before possible," said Dr. Thomas Isabell, JEOL USA TEM Product Director.

Roberto Martinez believes referee Michael Oliver's decision to book Leon Osman for diving in Everton's defeat at Southampton was "cheap".
First-half own-goals from Antolin Alcaraz and Seamus Coleman in Saturday's Premier League clash at St Mary's ensured the Merseyside club remain a point behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who play Newcastle United on Monday, in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Everton did respond well in the second half and had two separate appeals for penalties waved away by referee Oliver in a 2-0 defeat..
On the first occasion, substitute Osman was booked for diving after going down under a challenge from Dejan Lovren, before the Southampton defender was perhaps fortunate to avoid conceding a spot-kick following a tangle with James McCarthy.
Manager Martinez expressed his disappointment at Everton's misfortune and was puzzled by Osman's caution after his side's Champions League hopes suffered a major setback ahead of the final two games of the season.
"Conceding an own-goal so early was a massive blow," Martinez said. "Then to concede again from such a cheap action, psychologically it did affect our performance.
"We are very young group, we'll learn from today. If you concede two goals and you've got 60 or 70 minutes to go, it's long enough to get something out of the game. We need to learn not to get frustrated and not to get affected by it.
"I think the second half we needed that little bit of luck. Leon Osman for me it is very clear, that when a centre half goes to ground he has to get the ball, otherwise as an attacker or a creative player he'll have to been impeded.
"It was a cheap decision to book the player, I'm sure that the referee was looking at Osman, and he didn't realise that the centre-half just threw himself to ground without touching the ball. For me that should have been given as a penalty.
"The other one is a little bit of a tug. It could go both ways."
Everton face title-contenders Manchester City at Goodison Park and a trip Hull City in their two remaining top-flight games.

We are excited to host Andrew Gelman, who will be speaking about tradeoffs in statistical graphics. "Infographics" often have the goal of aesthetic appeal to draw a casual viewer in deeper, while "statistical graphics" often have the goal to reveal patterns for viewers who are already interested in the problem. Andrew will illustrate by giving examples of choices in graphics he has made over the years.
Andrew Gelman is a renowned professor of statistics and political science at Columbia University, a prolific author, and a popular blogger. His books include Bayesian Data Analysis, Teaching Statistics: A Bag of Tricks, Data Analysis using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models (which has the most understandable description of causal inference I've ever read), Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do, and A Quantitative Tour of the Social Sciences. His blog, "Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science" is, in my opinion, the best statistics blog out there and an invaluable resource for data scientists.
Andrew was very lively, entertaining, and not shy at all to express how he felt about a variety of topics on and off topic.

Wadjda deserves to be seen
Relevant offers
Film Reviews
Directed by Haifaa al-Mansour
A film of firsts, Haifaa al-Mansour's endearing and engaging tale is also first-class entertainment. As well as the novelty of watching a feature entirely shot in Saudi Arabia, we're also witness to the inaugural creation of a female Saudi director - Haifaa al-Mansour.
Evoking memories of works by Italian neo-realists, Belgian's Dardenne Brothers and Ken Loach, Wadjda is a universal tale of a young girl finding her voice (in a country where that's equated with "her nakedness") that also offers a fascinating insight into Saudi society.
Being singled out for her Bata Bullets with purple laces is just the latest brush with authority for 11-year-old Riyadh resident Wadjda (Waad Mohammad).
She might be the apple of her shift-working father's eye but she's certainly not her principal's favourite pupil. Whether it's selling bracelets to school mates or distributing tapes with love songs on it, Wadjda is quite the troublesome rebel and little businesswoman (saving her pennies to buy a bicycle with yellow and green ribbons).
However, when she acts as a lookout for an older girl's liaison with a "man who is not of her family" she's threatened with expulsion. But miraculously along comes something that may solve both her problems - a Koran-based competition that would not only put her back in the school's good books but also offers prize money.
Famously mostly directed from the back of the van because of strict Saudi laws and traditions around female-male interactions, al-Mansour does a startling job of creating a film that stirs the emotions. It helps that she has such a charismatic young lead in Mohammad whose character's indefatigable optimism and entrepreneurialism ensures the film never gets too morose or maudlin. There are also some terrifically comical moments, like the multi-choice, learn-the-Koran video game Wadjda buys to help with her swot or her friendly rivalry with neighbourhood friend Abdullah (Abdullrahman Algohani).
That doesn't mean that its flippant or ignores its backdrop, though.
The struggles of Wadjda's mother (Reem Abdullah) are heartbreakingly laid out, whether it's a three-hour commute to work, the pain of finding her husband has decided to take another wife or his response to their financial dire straits - "bear me a son and everything will be alright".
A slice of global cinema that deserves to be seen in cinemas, if only because those in the country of its origin cannot.

Fox News calls him a "conservative sage." But is Dr. Ben Carson — a retired neurosurgeon who gained Republican fans after speaking freely at last year's National Prayer Breakfast — really the next great hope for 2016?
Judging by his early fundraising numbers, some people certainly think he is. As Reuters reports, one group is pushing hard for a Carson 2016 bid. The National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee has raised $2.4 million over the last three months — more than similar groups supporting potential candidates like Hillary Clinton, Sen. Rand Paul, and Sen. Marco Rubio.
Carson first gained national prominence at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, where he compared the U.S. deficit to the "moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility" found in ancient Rome before its collapse, and said political correctness "puts a muzzle on people." (He also spoke at the 1997 National Prayer Breakfast, alongside Bill Clinton.)
Since his prayer-breakfast speech, Carson has gone on to liken elements of the government to Nazi Germany and compare Obamacare unfavorably to the attack on Pearl Harbor and Jim Crow laws. Through his conservative fan base, he's earned publicity in the form of speaking gigs at CPAC, as a Fox News contributor, and as a columnist for the conservative Washington Times.
But like the federal government in Carson's critique, the group backing him seems to have a spending problem, too. From Reuters:
Though the Draft Ben Carson committee has raised $3.9 million since it was set up last year, it has spent money just as steadily. At the end of March, the committee had $228,000 in the bank and carried $515,000 in debt, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission.
The group trying to draft Carson is led by John Philip Sousa IV — yes, a descendant of that John Philip Sousa — who said he started the group so that, if Carson does decide to run, he'll have the campaign infrastructure already in place.
Though a spokesman for Carson told Reuters that he is not interested in running for president, Carson has said he'd make an exception for divine intervention: "If the Lord grabbed me by the collar and made me do it, I would."

Investigations are never far from the Clintons, and here's another: At the behest of "dozens" of Republican lawmakers, the IRS is opening a fraud investigation into the Clinton Foundation."The move signals a shift from the IRS's announcement last year that it would not look into allegations of financial irregularities at the well-connected charity."
"Bickering commissioners, ineffective managers and lousy internal communication rank among the top reasons why the Federal Election Commission" has some of the worst morale in the federal government. That's the conclusion of an inspector general's report, which put "the most blame on the FEC's six commissioners: three Democratic appointees and three Republican appointees who have regularly criticized one another and frequently (but not exclusively) deadlocked on high-profile political issues before them."
On Tuesday, Dennis Williams, the president of the United Auto Workers, said that Hillary Clinton has told him that she will renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement if elected president. Trade deals, especially NAFTA, have played a prominent role in the campaign, with Clinton receiving heat both from her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders and GOP nominee Donald Trump. The Clinton campaign did not comment on Williams's comments, though that didn't stop the Trump campaign from weighing in. Hillary Clinton "will never renegotiate Bill Clinton's NAFTA," said Stephen Miller, senior policy adviser to Trump.
"The Labor Department announced Tuesday that federal contractors had shorted 674 Senate cafeteria workers to the tune of $1 million. Two companies, Restaurant Associates and its subcontractor, Personnel Plus, violated the law by misclassifying workers into lower-paying positions and having them work off the clock, the agency said." The department is looking into whether to renew the contracts.
"American intelligence agencies have told the White House they now have 'high confidence' that the Russian government was behind the theft of emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee, according to federal officials who have been briefed on the evidence. But intelligence agencies have cautioned that they are uncertain whether the electronic break-in at the committee's computer systems was intended as fairly routine cyberespionage—of the kind the United States also conducts around the world—or as part of an effort to manipulate the 2016 presidential election." WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange "has made it clear that he hoped to harm Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the presidency."

Exhausted and going to bed. But I got a lot of our checklist done and ready to go. Finishing up the final bits of a graphic arts project for my client. ie: Rob.
I have seizures, ADHD, and having been seeing a Therapist. They have run myriads of tests on me over the years. At VMMC about 20 years ago, they said I exhibited all the signs of ADHD, but since I go to work every day that I probably don't have ADHD. They also said I had signs of Autism. I at the time poo-pooed that because, well I am a girl and my symptoms don't match up with the typical guy symptoms. I recently happened upon an article for the signs of Female Autism… And I felt like I finally had a diagnosis for the way my brains run. Well, the new Therapist stated since I am a computer tech that can troubleshoot with customers and fix their computers, that I had far too many social skills to have Autism.
The reason I am seeing a therapist is to get assistance and learn better focus skills and manage my time better…. so what I didn't get done was my homework. Tell someone that your schedule is packed and that I am frustrated and they tell you to start using post-it notes and to do homework every day… Oh well, it isn't like I am being graded. Hope I don't have the same dreams I had when I was young about not completing my homework and showing up to school at the end of the trimester and finding out I didn't do any of my homework and forgot to put my clothes on. Just have to tell myself I am working as hard as I can and I accomplished a ton.

Eyre Court V Beer Club - 12th July 2016.
Oh we do love to be by the seaside – Captain Meme reporting
We headed for Seaton the Riviera of the Axe valley and the oasis of the Eyre court.
Although when we arrived there the temperature was more like the inside of a fridge!
Never the less we charged our glasses and headed for the arena of the orb.
Demi, not Demi Moore mores the pity and Trevor hit the gravel and landed running, taking four in the first end against Lynne and Meme. Sadly to say Lynne's form was a little erratic and Meme was having more Carlin moments than the originator and master of them Lanky Sam, it wasn't a good start for the team with our duo losing 9-3.
We didn't want to go two down against Eyre court and Bob and Pat. Releasing our dogs of war, Lady Jane and Smokey were in no mood to take prisoners. They promptly set about the task in hand. I don't know what Bob and Pat had stood in, probably something brown and sticky by the way their luck was going racing to a 5-0 lead. The worm turned and Beers pairing started to claw their way back. Quickly they were only two points behind and with an effort of a pair of super hero's they scored six in the next and final end of the game to win 9-5.
Ray and Derek met Lanky Sam and Sparky on the gravel of combat. Derek must have stood in a double dose of the brown sticky bringer of luck as he was on fire, we nearly had to call out the fire brigade he was so hot. He was knocking our boules out with ease and scoring at will. With play like that it was no surprise the opposition went two, one up with a winning score of 9-2.
The dream team of Smokey, Lanky Sam and Meme, that's if you like men with beer kegs as opposed to the six pack were up next. Trevor, Demi and Derek made a good start but Derek burning success of the last game was becoming somewhat of a damp squid. Beer took full advantage and seized the moment winning 9-5 and levelling the match once again.
The last time our teams met the score was 3-2 in our favour and so it would be again a score of 3-2 but in whose favour?
The final combatants were Lynne, Lady Jane and Sparky against Ray, Bob and Pat.
In the final show down was an epic battle with most ends going down to the final shot to decide who would take the honours. It turned out to be the Eyre court in most cases winning 9-2, and the match 3-2 in their favour this time.
The enjoyable evening didn't end there we all retired to the bar for vitals and some jolly banter washed down with some fine libations.
In next weeks adventure we play another round of the orbital game of wonder at the club against the Golden Wonders hopefully it will be as enjoyable!

Unusual: Kelly's ring holds particular sentimental value because it was designed to look like one of her Black Sabbath father Ozzy Osbourne's items of jewellery
The Fashion Police star's unusual ring holds particular sentimental value, because it was designed to look like one of her Black Sabbath rocker father Ozzy Osbourne's items of jewellery.
She added: 'I designed it to look like an earring that my father wore. I used to hold my finger up to his ear when I was little and say, "I want a ring like that". Now I have one!'
The couple met at the 2011 wedding of supermodel Kate Moss and rocker Jamie Hince - who makes up The Kills with Matthew's sister Alison - and admit they knew their relationship would go the distance from the word go.
Matthew told Hello!: 'I knew she was The One pretty early on.'
Kelly also praised her fiance for making the 'biggest sacrifice' when he moved from New York to Los Angeles to be with her.
explained: 'Matthew made the biggest sacrifice anyone's ever made for
me, to move away from everything that he knew to be with me in LA.

'Long-distance relationships often don't work out. We'd dated for a year and knew we wanted to be together. Matthew has broken down every one of my walls. There's nothing I wouldn't do in front of him.'
The former reality star also opened up about her parents' temporary split earlier this year after her father Ozzy relapsed into drinking, insisting there was 'no question' that X Factor judge Sharon would ever leave him.
She added: 'As if my mother would ever leave my father! They were never getting divorced, they were separated. As Mum said, "You're drinking again and I'm not going to talk to you," like any normal person would do.
'Then Dad got himself together. He's been under a lot of pressure - the new Black Sabbath album, my brother's MS... Things can get too much for addicts to handle.'
The couple have been dating for two years, but rumours of an engagement first began to swirl in May.
Kelly told Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Show at the time: 'I'm not telling you guys anything. When I have a ring on my finger, then you'll know I'm engaged. He's perfect, he's mesmerising.'
