Frankie Fraser's been a naughty boy again. Several decades after he ceased to be the premier hard man of London's gangland, he showed he can still get his wild up by having such a barney with a fellow resident of his old folks' home that, at 89, he's collected an Asbo. We know this because of the advance publicity for a television documentary on him tonight.
It's the latest manifestation of that odd phenomenon, the celebrity criminal. Know what I mean? Course you do. Diamond geezers, bit of a handful but very good to their muvvers. Kept the streets safe, they did. Any little toe-rag duffing up grannies round their way and they'd be onto 'em. Don't get me wrong, they were a bit tasty and gave the bogeys the run-around, but you knew where you were with them. There was nothing – how shall I put it? – indiscriminate about their violence. Mind, you wouldn't want to cross them; but they only took it out on their own. It was only other villains they was sorting out. Know what I mean?
Well, up to a point. It's true they didn't go in for mugging and razoring the likes of us. But their disputes were not Oxford Union debates. Murders were committed and widows were made. A "ticking off" might involve an axe in the head; a bloke messing with another bloke's woman would get shot where it mattered; and faces got re-arranged – the Stanley Knifer being paid according to how many stitches the knifee had to have (a quid a stitch was the going rate even 60 years ago). In his pomp, Fraser was so feared that Eric Mason, a Kray Brothers sidekick, said of him: "When Frank joined the Richardsons it was like China getting the atom bomb." Not for nothing was he known as "The Dentist", owning a pair of pliers with which he would extract teeth without an anaesthetic or, indeed, the patient's permission.
The purpose of all this mayhem – so ugly close-up, so apparently entertaining when reconstituted and served up several decades later – was not to lay on some colourful East End diorama for the media, but to commit armed robbery, demand money with menaces and run industrial-scale fruit machine rackets. Hardened criminals, it seems repeatedly necessary to point out, are not pleasant people.
But there are, in our consumption of past crimes, degrees of unpleasantness.
Some criminals – those who commit offences against women or children, like Dale Creggan, jailed for life last week for murdering two policewomen – have always been abhorred. A few murderers – the serial killers and meek little middle-class poisoners like Major Armstrong, the Herefordshire solicitor with wandering eyes who bumped off his wife and had a go at a nosy colleague – achieve not just notoriety but a lasting hold on people's fascinations. And a rare few criminals (Fraser is one) go beyond that, into the foothills of what you might call old lags' national treasuredom.
The heyday of the celebrity villain began in the 1950s when gangland bosses began to produce their memoirs, an unthinkable development 20 years before. Billy Hill (extortionist and black marketeer), for instance, wrote Boss of the Underworld, a book enlivened by his retinue of colourful associates such as Soapy Harry, Long Stan, Bear's Breath, Square Georgie, Tony the Wop and Teddy "Odd Legs" Machin. Later examples included Freddie Foreman (armed robber and double-murderer) and his Respect; Dave Courtney (gangland hard nut who once attacked five Chinese waiters with a meat cleaver) with six titles so far; and half-a-shelf full from Fraser, including Mad Frank: Memoirs of a Life of Crime, Mad Frank's London, Mad Frank's Britain, Mad Frank's Underworld History of Britain, and, for all I know (he is more productive than Pippa Middleton), Mad Frank's Guide to Finger Food. Based on these assisted jottings, Frank toured with a one-man show (An Evening With Mad Frank) and conducted heritage walking tours of London's most criminalised pavements. He has a website where fans can ring a premium rate number (£1.53 per minute) and hear his thoughts.
Film rights were sold (the Krays shared £225,000); documentaries filmed; authorised Kray mugs, T-shirts and limited-edition prints marketed; and headlines regularly made. The doings of men like Fraser, the Krays and the Great Train Robbers became a sort of long-running soap opera. Each re-arrest (like that of train robber Roy James for attacking his father-in-law and ex-wife), celebration (Ronnie Biggs' toast in Rio to 30 years on the run), remarkable reform (Roy "Mean Machine" Shaw, former armed robber and Kray sidekick became an internet and property millionaire), suicide (Buster Edwards hanging himself inside a Lambeth lock-up), contract killings (train robber Charlie Wilson gunned down as he prepared a salad at his Spanish home) and deaths (broadsheet obituarists seeing off the departed with admiring 1,100-word salutes) all amply reported. There was even (if somewhat inactive at present) a Krays Supporters' Club. Membership was eclectic, including one woman who took her study of the twins' modus operandi so seriously that she was subsequently jailed for hiring another member to beat up her violent husband.
So what turns people who most of us would think of as nasty pieces of law-breaking work into geezers? First, à la Robin Hood and highwaymen like Dick Turpin (in reality a glorified mugger and low-life horse-thief), there is the mythologising and, thereafter, sneaking admiration of the outlaw. And part of that process is to sanitise their activities. Their blaggings may have left in their wake injured guards, frightened staff and mail train crew who were never the same again but the targets, we tell ourselves, were not ordinary folk but banks, security firms, gold shippers, Royal Mail and the owners of unsavoury licensed premises. Thus the crimes are seen as a lark, a caper, a dress rehearsal for a Bob Hoskins movie. And we yearn for the characters committing these crimes to be larger than life, speaking the understated lingo of the hard-case subculture where vicious, short-fused, teeth-breaking Fraser "had a bit of a temper on him" and blowing someone's kneecap off was "having a word".
Is it possible there is something else at work, too? That there is still in us residues of the 18th-century mob's resentment at the forces of law and order? That, so long as no ordinary folk got hurt, we admire those who tweak the noses of convention and authority? Once we start thinking along those lines, we are seeing these geezers not as they truly were but as real-life Norman Stanley Fletchers. Criminals made cuddly.Reuse content

Taylor Wessing really should take some media training.
One of Tulkinghorn's scribes telephoned the firm's offices in London, asked for the press office and was told by the switchboard operator: "I'm sorry, but we can't connect calls to individuals."
The scribe did not relent and, with a view to complaining at the highest level, asked to speak to none other than Taylor Wessing's head of corporate finance.
The response was: "We can't just connect calls to individuals, we're too busy in the company right now."
"Firm, surely?" wondered Tulkinghorn's scribe in an attempt to ease the tensions, but was only rewarded in his efforts with a dial-tone.
Tulkinghorn suspects Taylor Wessing's finance team may have outsourced most of its work to switchboard to deal with the department's 55 per cent growth posted at the half-year stage.
Tulkinghorn lauds such efficiency and leveraging of resources.

Fresh from the release of their self-titled US debut (released May 11), the members of Sweethead take their sound back to the wild and gritty bar scene for which it was intended. This week, they come to Alexs Bar with a distorted squall of rock riffage and sultry vocals tailor-made for Long Beachs booze-filled shrine to the Day of the Dead. Founded by vocalist Serrina Sims and Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, the band has already toured with Snow Patrol, Eagles of Death Metal and are set to join celebrated super group Them Crooked Vultures as they rumble through Europe this summer. So this may be your last chance to get some Sweethead for a while. We advise you not to miss out.

As soon as you explore the best adult stores, you will achieve increased arousal, lubrication and orgasm, and less pain during sex. Don't waste more time! Sex toys will help you a lot. The use of these items allows greater freedom for self exploration, not only for genitalia, but it is also great for other body parts, such as the bust. Women who use them go to the gynecologist because they are more familiar with their privacy.
These toys are also used for the treatment of anorgasmia. Since this condition usually occurs, often due to trauma suffered in childhood. All in all, sex toys are favorite objects of couples in sex, but also for single seduction. There are, at present and in the market different types of vibrators: for vaginal or clitoral stimulation. It all depends on the needs. Vibrators can be also excellent allies for men who suffer some erectile dysfunction, or if you have had surgery that prevents them from making sex.
Do not deprive yourself of the pleasure of feeling and try a vibrator; you can benefit more than you think. Enjoy it! Lately you thought about adding "something more" to your sexual relationship? You've already experienced various positions, scenarios with your guy but both seek a totally new experience. If so, do not hesitate to try some sex toys with your partner. You will love them!
Our society has experienced many years of repression, morality, judgment and lack of openness in sexuality. It was from the 90's when the real boom came and evolution of sex toys in stores became known. Each time we are better informed and more knowledgeable thanks to the media, which has given the possibility to various proposals.
What sex toy is right for you? What should you wear with your partner? If you want to expand your creativity, remember to find the best adult stores. It often depends on the mood, but you will be fine! It is true that there are many conditioning factors. No matter what, it is important to find something for the occasion. If you opt for something romantic, look for a secure, soft and tender item. If you want to feel something strong, try to spot something hot. Also if you are exploring the idea of new lingerie, begin in advance!
Remember that you are your only limit. There is no need to be an expert to get creative. Start out at your house and use things that give you different sensations in your body. How about using different fabrics and textures? You can caress your partner's body by focusing on all the corners of pleasure. Another idea is to alternate hot and cold sensations. Spot top toys that will bring one-of-a-kind sensations. For example, you can buy a basic belt that is fastened around the waist. This belt comes with a penis or a hole adapted to your body, so you can select the comforter that you like. This is also used by men with impotence problems because there are harnesses that have a penis hole, where you can enter the penis. Enjoy!
Being one of the best adult stores, Adult Smart always tries to make available new adult videos and DVDs as per their customers' specific interests and choices. For the latest updates, visit New Releases section at the site.

Stem cell research has become a very popular discussion over the last decade. It is a subject that has been met with both promise and skepticism from all parties, and chances are, you have your own view points on the matter as well. But what don't you know about stem cell therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy is the technology in which a person's own stem cells are taken and then redistributed into the body as mature cells for various organs. Stem cells have the ability to self-renew indefinitely, meaning they have the capability to divide many times and specialize to promote the healing of organs while still sustaining the original undifferentiated cell.
Stem cell therapy is considered to be one of the most exciting pieces of medical technology of the 21st century. Stems cells hold the potential to unique treatments and cures for over 70 major diseases and conditions that affect millions of people, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). diabetes, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease and more.
Here are a few things you may not know about stem cell therapy:
Not All Stem Cells Are Alike
There are two main different types of stem cells, adult and embryonic. Adult stems cells are multipotent, which means they can turn into several different kinds of cells within the same basic cell type. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means they can turn into all of the body's cell types except egg and sperm cells. Adult stem cells are being used for research and treatment today.
Stem cell research could lead to more treatments that save millions of lives and improve the quality-of-life for millions more. Life-saving stem cell treatments are already successful and in widespread use for some diseases. For example, bone marrow transplants use stem cells to treat leukemia. Scientists have also created "tissue patches" for burn victims. They have grown islet cells that produce insulin to treat diabetes and healthy brain cells to ease the symptoms of disorders like Parkinson's disease. They have genetically changed cells and then used them to deliver healing or protective agents to injured or diseased areas of the body.
Stems Cells Are Not a Cure
It is important to note that research and treatments are constantly being conducted in the United States and across the world when it comes to stem cell therapy. Stem cells have the potential to treat a variety of diseases and injuries, but they are not considered of miracle cure. Ask your doctor, do some research or see what other people are saying about stem cell therapy.
Talk about stem cell treatments at Stem Cell Forum.
General Support for Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell research has strong support by many notable groups including the American Medical Association and the National Health Council. Sixty-eight percent of Americans support embryonic stem cell research and 64 percent of Americans support federal funding of research on chronic diseases using stem cells taken from human embryos. With more research and understanding, stem cell therapy is starting to gain more positive interest.
States Can Decide on Stem Cell Research
Although the federal government may have stalled on stem cell research, each of the 50 states is free to pass their own laws when it comes to stem cell research. For example, in 2010 Minnesota overturned its ban on paying scientists to engage in all forms of human cloning. Scientists have since researched different uses and applications for stem cell usage.
At the Lung Institute, we offer stem cell therapy for patients diagnosed with COPD. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with COPD and want to learn more about treatment options, please contact us or call (800) 729-3065 today.

The Forgotten Room Paperback
by Lincoln Child
Jeremy Logan (The Third Gate, Deep Storm) is an 'enigmalogist' - an investigator who specializes in analyzing phenomena that have no obvious explanation.
In this newest novel Logan finds himself on the storied coastline of Newport, Rhode Island, where he has been retained by Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America.
Just days earlier, a series of frightening events took place in the sprawling seaside mansion that houses the organization.
One of its most distinguished doctors began acting erratically - violently attacking an assistant in the mansion's opulent library and, moments later, killing himself in a truly shocking fashion.
Terrified by the incident and the bizarre evidence left behind, the group hires Logan to investigate - discreetly - what drove this erudite man to madness. His work leads him to an unexpected find. In a long-dormant wing of the estate, Logan uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, concealed and apparently untouched for decades.
The room is a time capsule, filled with eerie and obscure scientific equipment that points to a top secret project long thought destroyed, known only as 'Project S.'Ultimately, the truth of what Project S was ...and what has happened in that room ...will put Logan in the path of a completely unexpected danger.
One of his most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten Room is replete with veiled, fascinating history, and all the exhilarating action and science that are the hallmarks of a Lincoln Child blockbuster.

text: Posted October 8, 2012 it's quite likely you just set your hopes too high for a team that didn't address any of its problems and could be expected to regress on offense. No, they didn't address their major needs to the extent they should have (6th round CB, no DT in draft) but the thought was that with the core of the defense back in the LB corps and new blood in the secondary they would show enough improvement to hold the first half leads that would slip away in the 2nd half in 2011. Instead, they appear to look exactly the same, if not worse than last season, and Beason has been a major disappointment. Offensively, they appear to have gone away entirely from what made them successful last year, unnecessarily running a spread-option offense and refusing to establish the run. The ball was run a total of TEN times today. This, with one of the most expensive backfields in the league in Williams, Stewart, and Tolbert.) No, playcalling shouldn't be predicated on player salary, but if Chud's offensive plan doesn't rely on establishing the run, why were these signings/extensions made? We are two 4th and 1 conversions away from being 3-2. It's downright maddening the way this team finds ways to lose games. That, IMO, is on coaching. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect most folks that read my material either come by the site's main page, or just subscribe to one or another of the RSS feeds. For everybody else, you'll notice some weird behavior the next few days.
A couple of folks have pointed out that the Archives and Categories links no longer work — and digging around, it seems that a number of other things on the site are now suddenly broken (just over the past week).
I've seen odd behavior previously, but it's been minor stuff that doesn't impact readers (just made my job a bit harder). These new misbehaviors are major, and I think I can only fix things with a rebuild of the database that runs this site. So… I think I can salvage all the old posts and comments.

I think Colborne will be a good player. I was really down on him, but since he's been up you can see that he's improving game by game. His positioning and speed are light years ahead of where they were last year and his decision making with the puck is improving with each game he plays. If we move Grabovski, I wouldn't be upset if he became our third line center next season
A player he should model his game after is Martin Hanzal of the Phoenix Coyotes. He isn't much of an offensive player (~40 points), but stands 6'6, is a stud defensively and is good on the draw. The guy shuts down most of the top players in the West and is a big reason for Phoenix' success in the past few years. If Colborne could play a similar role here, he could be a very key piece for this team going forward.

My "loss" is what called the "boiler maker" type of loss. Mainly from race car involment for 30 years.

It won't blow out your eardrums. It could save your life, though. In a self-defense situation I wouldn't worry about it. Just like when I go hunting I don't worry about it. One shot here or there won't make a significant difference in your long-term hearing.
Going to the range and shooting without hearing protection, though, is just DUMB in my not-the-least-bit-humble opinion.
My "loss" is what called the "boiler maker" type of loss. Mainly from race car involment for 30 years.
In "fight or flight" adrenalin does certain things to your senses. It causes tunnel vision, destroys fine motor coordination, prevents us from "creative reactions" and last, shuts down our hearing. These are facts that have been tested and proven. In a high stress situation, it is probable that you will never hear or notice the shot because of these physiological effects on your hearing. While a LEO I have had that happen twice when I had to fire in a closed in area under stress. I neither heard or had any ringing in my ears after firing the shots. It is just the way we are wired.
Obviously you cannot worry about hearing protection if you find yourself in a defensive situation. You risk damaging your ears, but it's just the nature of the beast.
Other than that, protect your ears! Don't ever shoot without hearing protection. In fact, double up with foam plugs and muffs.. you will be glad you did when you are older.. if you aren't already old lol.
Don't go around loud music without protection. they do make special ear plugs that allow the sounds to come through naturally, but just lowered about 12 db.. which helps.
Last may my girlfriend, my sister and her boyfriend.. wanted me to go to a dance club with them. I'm not a dancer, but you know how it goes.. gotta make the gf happy. I have had loud stereos in my vehicle since I was 16.. I'm now 27. I've been to many concerts without hearing protection.. after them I would have the usual ringing for the night and it'd be gone by the next day. Well, this club was the loudest music I had ever been around. I have NEVER had my ear drums vibrated from loud noise.. never.. but this night club did that. Now, nearly a year later... my ears have rang 24/7 since then.. not one single day, not one single hour, not one single minute has gone by without both ears constantly ringing.
The ringing keeps my brain focused on the noise, which keeps my brain active at night. I have a horrible time falling asleep. I can't sit in silence at all, all I hear is the ringing even worse. The ringing causes tension in my ears, which transfers into my head and neck.. giving me headaches.
If you want to lay down to go to bed, and just lay there for 3-4 hours and not fall asleep.. if you want to hear high pitched ringing 24/7 for the rest of your life.. then by all means.. skimp on hearing protection. I would NOT advise you to do so though. I wish years ago I had listened to parents telling me to protect my ears good.. but I didn't.. If you find yourself at a place with loud music... I'd leave. I now carry flesh colored foam ear plugs that I got at walmart.. hearos brand.. they lower the sound 32 db I think.. I have one package in each of our vehicles so I am never without hearing protection should we end up at a bar with loud music or anything else.
protect your ears! you can't get the hearing back once it's damaged, and it will seriously affect your daily sanity having to put up with the squeal in your ears.
My 38 is louder than my .45 will ever be. I made the mistake of shooting it without plugs and thought it cracked my skull.
You will be fine.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!
-- Theodore Roosevelt --
My friend has a .357 mag... he use to shoot it outdoors without hearing protection.. what a moron. Now he thinks just using 20 db muffs is plenty of protection for that. Well, since a .357 is about 165 db... that's only getting you down to 144 db. still way above the danger zone. Some people just won't ever get it though.. they won't understand until it's too late.. kinda like me.. but I never did shoot guns without hearing protection.
And once again, in a defensive situation you just aren't going to have time to put hearing protection on. Not unless you find yourself having to pick off zombies from a distance from your porch.. then you can slip some on.. otherwise you're just going to have to shoot and risk the damage if the threat is severe enough.
I have serious shooting related Tinnitus.
Sometimes it's worse than other times.
Sometimes it's so bad I sleep sitting up in a chair.
Sometimes I don't sleep at all...like tonight.
Mine was sort of unavoidable and I won't bother to get into that.
I've talked about mine on this forum before.
Trust me that you should take care of your hearing whenever possible.
Buy the best hearing protection that you can afford to buy.
You'll be better off in the long run buying one less firearm and spending that $$$ on the best muffs to protect your hearing.
Gunshot Tinnitus is cumulative - please don't wear hearing protection if you think you might enjoy something akin to Chinese Water Torture 24 hours a day - every single day - for the remainder of your life.
There is no cure.
Some things make it a little easier to deal with.
STRONG Green Tea Concentrate helps.
BIOFLAVONOID pills in combination with vitamins - are a waste of money.
A combination of White & Pink Noise helps.
Some prescription meds have a side effect of reducing the volume of Tinnitus though I've not discovered any that will eliminate it.
A non addictive low dose of an anxiety medication like Buspar might help also because increased anxiety and stress due to the Tinnitus will make it seem worse.
Tinnitus Retraining is a total joke...that is where they try to retrain your mind into believing that something that is bothering the living $h1t out of you is something that you really actually enjoy!
I'm sorry but, I'm not a total idiot so that didn't work for me.
If any of you are really suffering with it PM me and I'll try to go into more specific detail as to what has helped me.
Mine stems from another life when I played in a rock band.
It was back in the Jimmy Hendricks era when bands thought amplifiers MUST be turned up to the highest levels.
Tinnitus is cumulative. Firing a gun without hearing protection just to see what it feels like may alleviate your curiosity but it WILL add a bit of damage. You may not notice it except for a bit of ringing in the ears but some day you will notice that little buzzing sound that doesn't go away.
Because I had tinnitus before I ever shot a gun, I already knew the importance of hearing protection.
Sometimes mine gets so bad I can't even hear the oven alarm going off. Had some "interesting" meals because of that.
Please. . . .treat every exposure to loud noises seriously and do what you can to avoid it. You'll be glad you did.

Stupid me was gagging because ear plugs dont work for me so I took them out while at the range which has a full rock face behind the firing lines. BAD MOVE
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who had this problem. Thought it was just me.
I also thank you all for reminding me about this, I am leaving for a youth convention early tomorrow so I am still need to pick up a set of ear plugs as normal.

Constant exposure to gunfire regardless of caliber can be real
detrimental to a persons hearing. Take it from one who knows
all too well, as I listened to the echo of the .22 caliber stuff a
long time; so I thought well now I have a .41 magnum, so it
couldn't be all that bad? Boy, was I wrong~! Now, I do not
hear as well as I use too; but luckily I don't have a hearing
handicap, and have to wear hearing aids.

Face Down - 1,000 X lyrics
1,000 X by Face Down
I've tried to ask the question
Must be a million answers that just aren't there
You try to find yourself
I'll try to live my life
I just don't care
Take a look at your life
Tell me can you say you've done no wrong?
Ask yourself the question
Do you realize where you belong?
I've been down
I've been out
I've been there
I've been down this road a thousand times
Nothing ever looks the same
It seems there's something more I might never see

Gentle and effective holistic sleep training for babies and toddlers 0-5 years in Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Highgate, North London and Greater London
Are you finding it hard to cope with nightly wake-ups or early starts?
Do you find it hard to get your baby or toddler to nap in their cot at regular times?
Does your toddler refuse to go to bed or stay in their bed?
Do you need help managing a toddler and new baby, or multiple babies?
Are you exhausted, exasperated and unsure how to help your child go through the night?
If you said "yes" to any of the sleep issues above, then I can help you. I am a certified infant and toddler sleep consultant, but in addition to this specialist training, I am also a trained primary school teacher and a mother of two. This means I can work with you on your child's sleep whilst also bearing in mind how this fits with their broader emotional, physical and developmental needs.
With consistency, sleep training can be quick to achieve, and there are a variety of techniques I use, dependent on the age of your child, their specific sleep issues, your set-up at home and parenting approach. I have worked with hundreds of families - many London-based but some as far as Europe - with most babies and toddlers able to fall asleep more independently at bedtime and nap times and sleep for longer periods at night within the first week - and begin sleeping through in the second week, if they have the physical maturity to stop night feeding.
Without adequate sleep, it's hard to be responsive to your children in the way you want to be and get through the day – whether you're a working or stay-at-home parent. Children also need lots of sleep to support healthy development, so an uninterrupted night is important for the whole family.
It's equally important to maintain a consistent routine through infancy and childhood, as studies have shown that irregular sleep-wake patterns and mealtimes can cause significant changes in our moods and sense of well-being.
Even if you have a well-established routine and your baby or toddler is able to fall asleep by themselves, you may still experience tough patches when they are teething, ill or going through a growth spurt.
But if your family is chronically sleep-deprived night after night, I can help you assess the sleep problem and give you the support, techniques and confidence to make lasting changes that will enable your child to maintain healthy habits as they grow.
Sleep issues I work with include:
• Establishing good sleep habits from birth
• Age-appropriate feeding and nap routines for babies and toddlers
• Self-settling
• Help sleeping through the night
• Nightmares or night terrors
• Reducing or stopping night feeds
• Transitions from a moses basket/cot/bed
• Napping in a cot and elongating the lunchtime nap
• Coping with colic and reflux
• Twins or multiples
• Routines for babies and toddlers together
• Sleep disorders
• Early waking
• Toddlers and older children getting out of bed or not wanting to go to bed
• Unsustainable sleep associations i.e. feeding, cuddling, rocking
I have accredited OCN training and further training with Millpond, the leading children's sleep clinic.
I fully understand and empathise with the demands and challenges of early parenthood, and know from first-hand experience that sleep training can be tough at times, but I firmly believe that teaching your child to sleep independently is one of the most important skills you can give them.
The best measure of my success as a sleep consultant is that my sons both sleep for 12 hours each night and have positive attitudes to bedtime. I can help you achieve this for your child too.
For home consultations, I cover Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Finsbury Park, Highgate, Islington, North London and surroundings areas.
I can't thank Katie enough for her support and advice throughout our sleep training. Katie went above and beyond what I expected and was always there with helpful suggestions when I most needed them. To be honest, she helped so much, I'm not sure this testimonial does her justice!."

New research finds that letting infants cry for short periods can help both child and parent sleep better without emotional harm.
"Despite assertions that extinction-based methods may result in elevated cortisol, emotional and behavioral problems, and insecure parent-infant attachment, our data did not support this hypothesis. Coupled with the findings from Price and colleagues,41 behavioral interventions appear to improve sleep without detrimental effects on the child or family."

As they prepare a major study to test the idea, UK scientists have said that starting school at 10:00 could have huge benefits for teenagers. Research suggests that society pays too little attention to our "body clock" - and adolescents in particular have a late-running biological rhythm. This means insisting on an early start can cause sleep deprivation, which in turn can affect learning and health.

Even so, McKenna can be sold to a for-profit organization, but Brierty said it is not what the hospital's board wants to do. "We're trying to find a buyer that has a non-profit intent," he said. "Intent is the important part, not the Document board to sell to for-profit hospital group tax base." The scope of the sale of McKenna Hospital got broader when a document dated Dec. 14, 1981, came to light. The document, signed by then New Braunfels Mayor O.A. "Skip" Stratemann, City Secretary Veronica Carrozi and City Attorney Irvin H. Boarnet, reversed the restriction made in the original land deed in 1951, that McKenna Hospital remain a non-profit entity or the property donated by the city would revert back to it. In 1981, the city council waived the clause from the original deed with the understanding that the land was to be used for hospital purposes, Stratemann said this week. Stratemann said he remembered when the city council reversed the clause allowing McKenna to start a bond push to purchase more land around the hospital. "It was a long time ago, but I recall between 1980 and 1983 we (the city council) took action on property," he said. "There was an old fire station arid land behind it. "The owners gave over die land to the hospital for collateral on a bond. The land was given to the hospital because it was voted (by the city council) to keep that property as part of the hospital." Serving the city 25 years ago, Stratemann said the council still wanted the hospital to remain a nonprofit entity. "This was a long time ago, and we See MCKENNA, Page 3A Home where a heart is Report: Mold found in school exercise facility By D. Ashley Verrill StaffWriter Health officials said Friday that New Braunfels Middle School has repaired many of the problems identified by the City Sanitarian's Office on Jan. 3. A report on the visit and subsequent re-evaluation were released Friday revealing that inspectors found mold in a school weight room. Health department officials said they visited the middle school on five separate occasions following a parent's complaint that her daughter's health became worse when she went to school and she had noticed ongoing leaks for more than year..

Gazing into the eyes of three dozen photographs of area children in need of safe, loving homes, you might find the pictures speaking words that touch your heart. Today marks the opening of the Hill Country Heart Gallery, a project organized by the Child Welfare Board of Comal County to display photos of children in Comal County who need permanent homes. The photos will be displayed at the McKenna Children's Museum from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. today. "This is a way to raise awareness about the children who are available for adoption," said Denise Hubicsak, board member for the Comal County Child Welfare Board who is heading up the local Heart Gallery project.

By Jessica Sanders StaffWriter Comal County Commissioners are hoping a government grant will help preserve wildlife habitat. Commissioners voted on Thursday to submit an application for a land acquisition grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The county applied for both the acquisition grant and a planning grant last year, but was given only the planning grant, Comal County Judge Danny Scheel said. "It would be helpful if we got the money to purchase property that we need to preserve the integrity of the county," he said. "Hopefully, we can get the money on the purchasing side." The planning grant, which the county received for 2006, will provide about $613,000 to research and develop a Local church celebrates 36 years of service By Mauri Elbel StaffWriter New Braunfels Christian Church will celebrate more than three and a half decades of fellowship this Sunday. "New Braunfels Christian Church is a great place to call home," said Rick Bartlett, church pastor for the past 15 years. "We are very much a family." The church, located at 734 N. Loop 337 since 1975, conducted its first service on Jan. 17, 1971, in the Girl Scout House on the corner of Howard Street and Fredericksburg Road. The church's 200 members and anyone wishing to share in church services are invited to celebrate the anniversary during a fellowship dinner at noon on Sunday. "We've had a lot of changes," Bartlett said of the church's 36 years in existence, which has undertaken four separate building programs to accommodate its growth. "And we See ANNIVERSARY, Page 3A habitat conservation plan, County Engineer Tom Hornseth said. The county has has not yet received the planning funds or selected consultants to complete the plan. Hornseth said there are two endangered species of birds- the golden-cheeked warbler and the black-capped vireo- that the county is especially interested in protecting. The land acquisition grant would match county funds by 75 percent for purchase of land to protect endangered species. The county was turned down for the grant in 2006 because the government's available funds were exhausted, Hornseth said. County staff will submit the acquisition grant this month, but will not seek additional planning funds. Hornseth said he hopes the acquisition grant will provide $524,000 to $870,000. Members of the New Braunfels Christian Church enjoy a meal at the church's family reunion every Wednesday evening before breaking into individual Bible study classes.

Jayde stood up, cautiously. The men saw him. He heard shots; His, Dario's, the intruders'. One man fell back, wounded. The fight was equal now, two on two. More guards came to back them up, arresting the wounded man.
There were supporting shots fired, but the two remaining gunmen refused to back down. Jayde felt himself getting behind the men, stalking closer. All of a sudden, pain shot through Jayde's arm and the scent of copper filled the air. He grimaced, biting back a yelp, snuck forward, and--
Jayde's eyes opened. He looked around wildly. His boss was yelling at him for sleeping in the breakroom, yet again. He looked up at the clock - 9:30. He as been asleep for some 30 minutes, Dario has already departed. He was still in uniform - thank God - but his hat was gone. How unfortunate.
"Are you listening to me?! Jayde!"
Jayde looked at his boss, wide-eyed at the tone of the yell. "Yes...?"
"You are FIRED! This is the fifth time I've found you asleep on the job! Go home, Jayde! And Don't Come Back!"

Percy Jackson and the loopy Olympians
Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood were walking from the Empire state Lift towards the God's palace on Mount Olympus. This was for a very special occasion.....it was their birthdays! When the arrived, they weren't at all surprised to find Athena and Poseidon having a heated argument. "You turned my girlfriend into a snake-haired monster!" Poseidon shrieked, anger in his sea-green eyes.
"That wouldn't of happened if you hadn't gone on a date in my sacred temple!" Athena retorted. All the other God's were on the verge of suicide. Zeus failed epically to stop the bickering, so called upon the not-so-trusty Hades. Hades stood up and cleared his throat. All of Olympus fell silent.
"Poseidon.....GO TO YOUR ROOM!" declared Hades.
"I have many rooms...take your pick," said Poseidon casually.
"Um....GO TO YOUR PALACE!"
"I have many palaces...which one?"
"In that case...GO TO YOUR SEA!"
"In total, there are seven seas."
"Fine...GO TO THE ENGLISH CHANNEL!". Immediately, everybody looked at Hades, confused.
"It's freezing," Hades explained, "And this is meant to be a punishment.". Having noticed Percy, Annabeth and Grover, Apollo, sunglasses and all, said,
"What can we do for you?".
"It's our birthdays..." said Percy. All the God's looked at one another anxiously.
"Um....here are your presents!" said Poseidon. Before the long, the God's had each zapped up a gift:
Zeus - A lightsaver
Poseidon - A water pistol
Hades - How to make your own coffin set
Athena - A plastic sword and shield
Apollo - Sunglasses
Artemis - A 'No boys allowed' sign
Hermes - A map
Hephaestus - A big hammer
Ares - an even bigger hammer
Demeter - A packet of cereal
Aphrodite - A make-up kit
Hera - A golden cow
"Ummm.........thanks?" said Percy, unwrapping a 'No boys allowed' sign and make-up kit.
"We best be going home now. Bye!" said Annabeth. The boys followed, half dragging Grover who was still gazing dreamily at Aphrodite. Soon after they had left, the bickering began all over again...

Polycrystalline (Cu0.5Tl0.5)Ba2Ca2Cu3O10−δ superconductors show strong composition variations at the termination ends of the crystals which compromise over-all superconducting properties of the final compound. These composition variations are one of the root causes of void formation which produces a poor quality material. The better inter-grain coupling suppresses the Josephson losses required for higher transport critical current density (Jc). The lower losses across the inter-grain Josephson junctions are essential for wire and microelectronic applications. We have fixed such inadvertent composition variation in (Cu0.5Tl0.5)Ba2Ca2Cu3O10−δ superconductors by doping them with nano-particles of CuO, BaO and CaO2. Nano-particles doped (Cu0.5Tl0.5)Ba2Ca2Cu3O10−δ superconductors were synthesized at 860 °C and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), resistivity (ρ), ac-susceptibility (χ), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. The magnitude of superconductivity is significantly enhanced with the doping of nano-particles. The samples with 15 wt. % addition of CuO nano-particles have even shown textured elongated crystalline with extremely low population of voids.

I'm not too concerned about the asbestos abatement cost and plan to either do it myself and dispose of it properly or pay a pro crew to do it. It's only about $1.50-$2.00 per square foot in this area for an approved crew to do it, and that includes permits and/or disposal. Given that we have some tax credit incentive, it's very reasonable.
We intend to move into the house eventually. The asbestos siding is coming off, it's just a question of when, and whether I can salvage the the siding underneath. I've done a lot of painting but I've never taken on anything like this.

PUTRAJAYA (Bernama) – The Foreign Affairs Ministry yesterday launched its dedicated website, http://asean2015.gov.my in conjunction with Malaysia's assumption as Chairman of Asean 2015 from Jan 1.
The ministry in a statement Monday said, the web portal intended to provide extensive coverage, information, updates and news on important events that would take place in 2015 during the Chairmanship.
"This dedicated website is also designed to provide quick and easy access to essential information to assist Asean and other related member countries delegations, local and foreign media and other related agencies to undertake online registration for accreditation and issuance of security passes," it said.
The statement further said, visual information in video format and photo gallery would also be made available.
The website would also function as an outreach platform to disseminate information on Asean and Malaysia's Chairmanship to promote more awareness about the organisation and its various benefits to the Asean community, consistent with the overarching theme of Malaysia's Chairmanship that is 'People Centered Asean'.

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup polenta
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 sticks ( 3/4 pound) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup orange-flower water (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- Elderflower Crème Anglaise, for serving
- Mixed fresh berries, for serving
Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 2-quart loaf pan (10 by 5 by 3 inches). In a bowl, sift together the flour, polenta and salt.
In a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the sugar and butter at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until each is incorporated. Add the orange-flower water and orange zest and beat until blended. Mix in the dry ingredients at low speed until thoroughly moistened, scraping the side and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the center of the oven for about 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cake and serve it with the Elderflower Crème Anglaise and fresh berries.

Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. — Philippians 1:4-5
Partnership is the ability to accomplish more together than apart. It recognizes that a team is stronger than a lone individual. A group committed to each other will help the struggling and the fallen.
Mother Teresa said, "You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together, we can do great things." An anonymous author wrote, "It is better to have one person working with you, than three working for you." Andrew Carnegie confessed, "I owe whatever success I have attained, by and large, to my ability to surround myself with people who are smarter than I am." John Wooden, perhaps the greatest basketball coach of all time, reminded his team, "The man who puts the ball through the hoop has ten hands."
Call it whatever you want--teamwork, association, synergy--partnership is the remarkable ability of two or more people working together to accomplish more than what each could do alone.
This truth is a fit reminder to God's people that when we are working together in harmony, the talents and gifts of the body minimize the weaknesses and shortcomings of the body, thereby making a stronger unit. Just as a baseball team needs nine players on the field or the game is forfeited, the local church needs everyone participating, or the strength of the body is weakened and the advancement of the gospel is threatened. If you took away one musician from an orchestra, the symphony would be incomplete. So, too, if one member of the family of God is missing, the church is incomplete.
We need each other. You need someone, and someone needs you.

Accelerate the aging process of wine instantly. How does it work?
The secret is the patented metal alloy. This unique metal alloy gradually modifies the wine's properties (ie. Taste, smell, and structure) by accelerating oxidation. Each second the alloy is dipped into wine is the equivalent of one year of aging.
Note that the Clef Du Vin will not improve a wine with no aging potential. This product is 100% safe, is a scientifically-designed measuring device made from a mix of precious metals, and for all wines. Take the guesswork out of collecting with this invaluable tool.
The individual Clef Du Vin is presented in a handsome black wooden case.
1. Pour yourself a glass of wine, taste and memorize.
2. Dip the patented metal alloy on the tip for one second, taste and compare results. Each second is equal to one year of aging.
3. Repeat step 2 until the wine reaches the phase that you enjoy the most.
* Red wines will see the tannin becoming softer, and their roundness being expressed.
* The acidity of dry white wines will be reduced, revealing the subtle flavors of the fruit.
* With sweet white wines expect an explosion of flavors in your mouth!

When It Comes To Marriage Proposals, Young Men And Women Hold Fast To Traditional Views
Apparently not. With marriage proposals in the air around the new year, researchers at UC Santa Cruz report that both women and men tend to hold traditional views when it comes to marriage proposals.
Young adults were asked about their personal preferences for marriage traditions. Overwhelmingly, both men and women said they would want the man in a relationship to propose marriage. A substantial majority of women also responded that they would want to take their husband's last name.
In fact, not one of 136 men surveyed believed "I would definitely want my partner to propose" and not a single woman said she "would definitely want to propose."
"I was surprised at how strong the preference was," said Rachael D. Robnett, a doctoral candidate in psychology at UC Santa Cruz. Robnett surveyed 277 undergraduates ages 17 to 26. She found that a substantial majority believes strongly that a man should propose marriage and a woman should take her husband's name.
Robnett's findings are reported in "Girls Don't Propose! Ew" published in the January issue of the Journal of Adolescent Research. Robnett said she expected some preference for traditional engagement and marriage roles, but not at such a high level, particularly among young people. The survey was conducted in 2009-2010 among psychology majors or intended majors and was limited to heterosexual students.
"Given the prevalence of liberal attitudes among students at the university where data collection took place it is striking that so many participants held traditional preferences," she writes. "Even more surprising is that many participants overtly state that their preferences were driven by a desire to adhere to gender-role traditions."
Robnett said 68.4 percent of men answered, "I would definitely want to propose. Sixty-six percent of women answered "I would definitely want my partner too propose."
Nearly 15 percent of men answered, "I would kind of want to propose" and 16.9 percent said, "It doesn't matter who proposes."
Among the 141 women surveyed, 22 percent said, "I would kind of want my partner to propose; 2.8 percent said they would "kind of want to propose" and 9.2 percent answered "it doesn't matter."
On the surname question, Robnett found 60.2 percent of women were "very willing" or "somewhat willing" to take their husband's name. Only 6.4 percent were "very unwilling" and 11.3 percent "somewhat unwilling." Another 22 percent answered "neither willing nor unwilling."
She also found the adherence to tradition is linked to "benevolent sexism," the assumption of traditional gender roles in which "men should protect, cherish, and provide for women."
"On the surface it looks positive," Robnett said. "The problem is that benevolent sexism contributes to power differentials between women and men. The mindset underlying benevolent sexism is that women need men's protection because they are the weaker gender. Also, people who endorse benevolent sexism tend to support traditional gender roles such as the belief that women should do most of the childcare even if both partners work.
"Both men and women are raised to believe that aspects of benevolent sexism are desirable; it's usually viewed as politeness or chivalry," she said. "This makes it hard for people to challenge, which is unfortunate because research shows it often does a disservice to women."
Robnett enrolled at UCSC for graduate studies to work with psychology professor Campbell Leaper, the paper's second author, after earning bachelor's degrees in psychology and Spanish at the University of Northern Iowa.
"The psychology department at UCSC has a great reputation for innovative research in developmental psychology," Robnett said. "For someone interested in cutting-edge research in gender studies it was the place for me."

Bestlite BL9 Brass Pendant by Robert Dudley Best
Designs from the Bauhaus era brought functionality and simplicity to the forefront, displacing all superficial ornamentation. Robert Dudley Best designed Bestlite in 1930. As the lamp was the first example of Bauhaus in the UK, strong arguments were needed before the lamp could be put into production.
The lamp was produced by the manufacturing firm Best & Lloyd, founded by Bests family in 1840. After mention in the prominent architectural magazine Architects Journal, the architectural community opened its eyes to the lamps potential. In 2004, the Danish design firm Gubi took over the international rights for the Bestlite collection.
