From the award-winning author of Hades and Eden comes an ingenious and edgy thriller that will keep you guessing to the very last minute....
It's 12.46 p.m. Thirteen-year-old Claire Bingley stands alone at a bus stop. At 12.47 p.m. Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her. At 12.52 p.m. the girl is missing....
Six minutes - that's all it took to ruin Detective Ted Conkaffey's life. Accused but not convicted of Claire's abduction, he escapes north, to the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
Amanda Pharrell knows what it's like to be public enemy number one. Maybe it's her murderous past that makes her so good as a private investigator, tracking lost souls in the wilderness. Her latest target, missing author Jake Scully, has a life more shrouded in secrets than her own - so she enlists help from the one person in town more hated than she is: Ted Conkaffey. But the residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move. And for Ted, a man already at breaking point, this town is offering no place to hide....

LSU arrived on Thursday evening and practiced for the first time in Seattle at 1 p.m. PST on Friday. The team will have a walk-through on Saturday before the 6 p.m. local time start. Second-seeded Purdue and third-seeded Georgia will dual in the nightcap at 8:30 p.m. PST.
With both LSU and Texas coming off impressive performances on their home courts in the first and second rounds of the tournament, the comparisons to last season's regional final contest were obvious. No.-2 seed Texas struggled early before handily defeating No. 1-seed LSU, 78-60, in Palo Alto, Calif., on April 1, 2003.
The Lady Tigers return three of five starters from last season's Elite Eight team, while Texas lost only guard Tai Dillard from the Final Four team that lost to eventual national champion Connecticut.
LSU sophomore All-American Seimone Augustus leads the Lady Tigers, scoring 18.9 points per game and grabbing 5.9 rebounds.
Augustus scored 21 and 26 points, respectively, in first and second-round wins over No. 13-seeded Austin Peay and No. 12-seeded Maryland. She has made 22-of-35 shots in the NCAA tournament this season, but was held in check (eight points on 4-of-11 shooting) during the season-ending loss to the Longhorns in 2002-03.
"Seimone is a year older, she's a better player, a more experienced player," Texas head coach Jody Conradt said. "But to put all of your efforts into defending one player usually doesn't work out very well. We need to limit touches and we need to eliminate penetration as much as we can. We cannot keep her from scoring points, she's too good."
Acting head coach Pokey Chatman guided the Lady Tigers to the school's eighth Sweet 16, as the 13-year assistant at LSU has taken the reins from head coach Sue Gunter since early January.
"Kids competing at this level understand what difference a year makes," Chatman said. "In terms of that Texas lost: nothing; what they gained: Tiffany Jackson. They remind me of our team last year -- experience at a lot of positions, (with) a freshman phenom. They understand the level that we are competing at. They are really intent and focused on the task at hand."
All-Southeastern Conference point guard Temeka Johnson, who had nine points and seven assists in the NCAA loss to Texas, is the catalyst in the LSU offense. Johnson ranks third nationally in assists per game at 8.2 while scoring 12.9 points per game.
"Everybody keeps talking about last year's team and how we lost to them," the 5-3 New Orleans native said about Texas, "But we have a different team with a different style of play. We lost a lot of players from last year. We're excited to be playing Texas again, but only because we're both two good teams that advanced to the Sweet 16."
Texas will look to its emotional leader, All-Big 12 junior guard Jamie Carey, to guide the Longhorns back to the Final Four. Carey, who started but scored only four points in 39 minutes in the 2003 NCAA meeting with the Lady Tigers, runs an offense that outscores its opponents by 17.1 points per contest this season.
"The closer that you get to the Final Four, the harder it gets for us," Carey said in Friday's pre-game press conference. "The stakes are higher and the team play a little more intense in every single game. It is not going to be any different for us tomorrow night. We are just going to go out and treat it like any other game."
Texas' 6-2 junior forward Heather Schreiber along with All-American senior Stacey Stephens scored 32 and 14 points, respectively, in their last meeting with LSU, while ranking second and third on their team in scoring this season.
Jackson, a National Freshman of the Year candidate, leads the Longhorns with 13.0 points per game and ranks second on the team with 7.6 rebounds.
Should the Lady Tigers get past Texas and into their second-straight regional final, they would face the Purdue-Georgia winner at 8 p.m. CST on Monday on ESPN.

One can only imagine the frantic phone calls and emails that resulted from a Mar. 28, page 19 story, "Goodbye Columbos!" that wrongly named Andrew "Andy Mush" Russo as a government snitch. See image above.
Hopefully for Mr. Mush, the Post made it clear that Mr. Mush was "charged" by law enforcement "with multiple counts of conspiracy and extortion" and is "not a government informant."

Many of the millions of workers streaming in from rural China to jobs at urban factories soon find themselves in new kinds of poverty and oppression. Yet, their individual experiences are far more nuanced than popular narratives might suggest. Rural Origins, City Lives probes long-held assumptions about migrant workers in China. Drawing on fieldwork in Nanjing, Roberta Zavoretti argues that many rural-born urban-dwellers are�contrary to state policy and media portrayals�heterogeneous in their employment, lifestyle, and aspirations. Working and living in the cities, rural-born workers change China�s urban landscape, becoming part of an increasingly diversified and stratified society. Zavoretti finds that, over thirty years after the Open Door Reform, class formation, not residence status, is key to understanding inequality in contemporary China.

|Epsom Downs and Walton on the Hill
|Author: Claire, Published: 04 Feb 2013
|Walk rating : Rating:
|Surrey, Epsom
|A 5.5 mile circular walk through Epsom and Walton Downs, the chalk downlands which form part of the North Downs in Surrey. The route starts from Epsom Downs Racecourse, home to The Derby, and heads south through Walton Downs to reach the pretty village of Walton on the Hill. Here, about half way round, there are a couple of pubs and a cafe, the perfect place for lunch and/or a pint. The walk returns back through woodland bridleways and open downland paths. There are great views throughout and on a clear day much of London and Surrey is visible.
The walk has a few steady climbs and descents throughout and, whilst most of the paths are well made, some of the chalk bridleways can become muddy/slippery after wet weather. There are no stiles and just one single gate. The racecourse is open throughout the year but there are restrictions on race days so it is best to avoid these times. Dogs are welcome as long as they are under control and on leads while horses are being trained (follow the guidance on the signs within the course). Approximate time 2 to 2.5 hours.
The walk starts from the large open car park which is at the roundabout junction between Tattenham Corner Road (B290) and Old London Road, just south of Epsom in Surrey. Approximate post code KT18 5NY. Tattenham Corner rail station is a short walk from the start point.
|Start to Woodland Fork
Start point: 51.3117 lat, -0.2449 long
Cross over the roundabout towards the racecourse and head down the tarmac lane into the course away from the road (if you look carefully you'll see a wooden sign marking this as a bridleway to Walton Road). As the tarmac lane bends left, go straight ahead alongside the vehicle barrier and take the stone/dirt track heading straight up over the centre of the course.
|Woodland Fork to Nohome Farm
Start point: 51.3024 lat, -0.2569 long
Take the left fork here onto the smaller path marked with a blue arrow, and follow this as it bends to the right. At the next junction, go ahead on the wide lane to pass between the white racecourse railings over to the left and some old stone columns to the right. Follow the lane as it swings left and downhill, enjoying the views across the valley.
|Nohome Farm to Fox and Hounds
Start point: 51.2993 lat, -0.2602 long
Immediately after the gated entrance, follow the path as it swings right and narrows between hedgerows. Keep on this path for some distance, climbing gradually uphill and winding between the coppiced trees. A while later the path passes between horse paddocks (beware the electric fence on the right here). Soon afterwards the path passes between houses to arrive at a junction with the road.
|Fox and Hounds to Bridle Cottage
Start point: 51.2831 lat, -0.2463 long
Keep ahead on Walton Road passing the primary school on the right and then a number of small shops and a cafe. Keep ahead past the village Mere on the left and immediately after the water, turn left onto the small track by The Bell pub sign.
|Bridle Cottage to End
Start point: 51.2904 lat, -0.2439 long
Follow the narrow fenced bridleway to the left of Bridle Cottage and follow this path for some distance downhill. At the bottom of the slope you will come to a fork in the path with a copse ahead. Keep left here and a few paces later you will come to a second fork with a notice board. Keep right at this notice board marked with a blue arrow for the bridleway. At the third fork you will see a three-way signpost, take the right fork heading straight on, signed for Epsom Lane North.

Lovely walk and we had perfect weather for it too. Our one tip tho would be to carry on past the fox and hounds which we had planned to eat in, but on arrival it seemed rather characterless and after spending a good few minutes at the bar within the barman so much as acknowledging he realised we were there, we decided to see if there was anywhere else in the village. We found the grey dove cafe a little further up on rhs just before the mere. We definitely recommend it, warm and toasty, delicious homemade food and friendly staff.

Easy to follow directions. The Bell pub is dog friendly. A very nice walk.
|By Covkid on 05 Apr 2015
Perfect directions and a thoroughly enjoyable walk.
|By prorig on 05 Apr 2015
Enjoyable walk. Directions very good and love the map with interactive gps location spot. Agree with previous comments about Fox & Hounds. The cafe near the pond is lovely. Would do this walk again.
|By RickStock on 30 May 2015
Enjoyed the walk apart from the 500m or so along Ebisham Lane coming into Walton on the Hill as we had a dog and the road was quite busy with no verge or pavement - very dicey. Also thought it deserves 3 boots for the difficulty level as there are numerous quite steep slopes. Enjoyable but not a favourite.
|By Peter on 30 May 2015
A nice walk through some lovely countryside although you do get the constant drone of the nearby M25 Some of the path is quite overgrown in , particularly on the return loop from Walton on the hill but is still passable. All in all an enjoyable afternoons walk

Lovely walk. Very pleasant surroundings. Well marked and easy to follow.

I do a lot of solo walking...so always worry about safety and getting lost.....not anymore I don't...!!!!! The guides are always spot on....and that's what I do.just follow the blue spot...!!! Thank you.... It's my favourite app...!!!!
My wife and I did your Petworth and Shimmings Valley walk yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful and enhanced by the wonderful weather. Your instructions were the clearest I have ever used for walking.
Without doubt the best app that I have ever downloaded! - NT
This App is brilliant. It enables you to track your walks and download them for future reference. The Library provides you with a variety of walks and are supported by clear instructions and photographs along the route. This makes them very easy to follow. I have used the App for about two years and have found it invaluable. Should you have any queries about any aspect of iFootpath the support you get is second to none.
Absolutely beautiful walk, and a wonderful app. Thank you so much :)
I want to congratulate you on your web site/app performance, quick, reliable and easy to use. I have similar walking apps with OS Maps and ViewRanger but yours is best.
This app has totally changed my life, i absolutely love it. I did this walk yesterday, what a beautiful walk it is, i thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do it again, in fact i met an older gentleman who was on his 100 and something time there!! My sister and daughter cant wait to come along. The noise mentioned about the motorway is negligible and for me did not detract from the overall walk at all, the view from the top was stunning!!
So far I have downloaded 5 walks and completed 3 of them, tomorrow will be No 4. I love your website The walk descriptions are the best I have used in the last six years of rambling since I retired. This is a website I would be more than happy to pay a subscription for, instead I'll donate a sum to my favourite charity. THANK YOU.
Have deleted Pokemon Go and downloaded @ifootpathuk which is much more 'me'
I love the illustrated descriptions of each walk section. Really helps to enjoy the walk and get to know something about what I'm seeing. So much better than apps that only provide GPS co-ordinates and no photos or description. Love it!
After trying out numerous other apps I came across this one: way ahead of any of the others in every way. Much more accurate and very easy to use with great features. Would highly recommend it as THE app to use for walking.
Just wonderful, with walks for everyone: the fit, the not-so-fit, short walks, long walks, through woods, up hills (and down).
I highly recommend it, as my mum and I use it to go for walks and finish by eating at a pub. Its detailed and sometimes humorous instructions lead us easily to our destination. Also, to top this, it has interesting facts about the area we're walking in
I don't review much but this app deserves it. Downloaded some really good walks and the combination of the good descriptions and the really useful map of the walk showing where you are make it a brilliant tool. Well done and keep up the good work.
Very enjoyable and well described route. Views over the river from the warren were stunning.
Fantastic walk and amazing views. Great directions though I followed the GPS map mainly
Great walk, instructions were very detailed, perfect!
This may be the best walk I've ever done. It was certainly the best directions.
Even on a cold windy day with it trying to snow this was still an excellent walk. We managed it with our 2 children of 5 yrs and one in a all terain pram (a defo no no with a normal pram). Will be doing this one again in the summer.
Used app while visiting (it was great!)--live in Texas. Thanks!
Your app and walks are a dream to use
Did this walk this morning with our three little girls and we all love it. Great day outdoor!

Top Review by Jdalton1007
I love creme br?l?e and this pie taste the same but it is so much easier to make. I did not use the Dulce de leche and it turned out fantastic. I used a deep dish pie crust not a regular pie crust. I will be making this again! Defiantly a family favorite!

April 18, 2005 - VERO BEACH, FL – Vero Beach pitcher Chuck Tiffany threw six innings of one-hit ball en route to his second victory over the Palm Beach Cardinals in a week. Tiffany (3-0) struck out five of the first eight batters he faced and finished with seven strikeouts on the night. The only hit he allowed was a leadoff double in the fourth inning to Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan.
Cardinals starting pitcher Stuart Pomeranz (1-1) suffered his first loss of the season after giving up five earned runs and nine hits over six innings.
The Cardinals, who managed only three hits total, fall to 1-3 against Vero Beach this season and 5-6 overall, 1 ½ games behind the division-leading Jupiter Hammerheads. This series against Vero Beach marks the first official road trip of the season for Palm Beach. Earlier in the year, the Cards were the visitors at Roger Dean Stadium against the Hammerheads.

After beating Lee Westwood in a play-off for the French Open the 24-year-old came from behind on the final day again to defeat Raphael Jacquelin and overnight leader Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano by two. Having earned over £1million in a week he now is not only second to Paul Casey on the European money list, but also just outside the world's top 10 heading into the Open at Turnberry.
He said: "The money is nice, but it's not the most important thing. If you are out there playing for the money I think you have chosen the wrong job."
"To win at the home of golf is always something very special," he added.
Kaymer, who began his run of form in Paris last week with a course record 62, needed 'only' a two-under-par 69 after starting the day a stroke behind Fernandez-Castano.
The gap doubled when he bogeyed the 455-yard second, but once he had birdied three of the next six holes he had top spot and never let go.
He added: "I missed the cut the week after my first two wins, but this week was obviously different.
"Now everybody asks me about a third win in a row, but we are playing in a major and the field is going to be the best we have all year.
Jacquelin came through to be joint runner-up with a 66 and Australian Adam Scott matched that best-of-the-day effort to take a share of fourth with Dane Soren Kjeldsen.
Disappointing on the final day were both Lee Westwood and Retief Goosen. Westwood had oozed confidence after middle rounds of 66 and 64, but closed with a level-par 71 for eighth spot along with fellow Englishman Ross Fisher.

The Expense Statement
The P&L expense statement is one of the three most important financial statements that the controller will provide to the project manager. The other two financial statements that are useful to project managers, as were discussed in Chapter 5, are the cash flow statement and the balance sheet. The project manager has little to say about the expense categories on the P&L; the controller usually defines the expense categories when the chart of accounts is put together. On the other hand, the project manager has nearly full freedom to create the work breakdown structure (WBS) and define the expense categories on the WBS. [1]
Although the WBS is traditionally thought of as the document that defines the scope, and all the scope, for the project, in fact it can also serve as an important financial document, connecting as it does to the chart of accounts. To employ the earned value methodology, we must have a complete WBS; to dollar-denominate the earned value reports and also allocate the budget to the WBS, we must understand the chart of accounts, or at least the chart of accounts as it is represented on the P&L statements. Since it is the P&L by which managers govern and are measured for success, the various tools must all correlate and reconcile.
Let us begin this chapter by discussing more thoroughly the nature of the expenses that will be on the P&L. We will look at how these expenses can be traced to the WBS, and then from the WBS back to the P&L.
Direct and Indirect, Fixed and Variable Expenses in Projects
We know from Chapter 5 that the P&L records the project expenses each month. The P&L does not necessarily indicate the cash flow, and not all expenses on the P&L are cash. Depreciation and various P&L accruals for taxes, compensation, and benefits are not cash. Expenses, like payments to a vendor, are "recognized" according to the business rules of your business. The expense recognition might be at a different time from when the credit is made to the accounts payable liability account (the usual expense "recognition trigger"), or different from the time the vendor check is mailed after the liability is created, and different yet from when the check clears the banking system and is credited to the checking account. Thus, timing may be an issue for the project manager as the project manager reconciles expenses between the controller reports and the project reports.
In larger companies, the expense recognition rules tend toward recognizing expenses as soon as the expense obligation is created. Actually paying the cash is not so important to the project per se. The company treasurer or chief financial officer usually sets policies for actually paying the cash to the vendor since there can be some financing income from the checking account "float."
The controller may choose to categorize expenses and show those categories on the expense statement. For instance, expenses that are for the express benefit of the project, and would not be incurred if not for the project, are usually called "direct expenses." Project travel is a good example of direct expenses.
However, many expenses of the company, such as executive and general management expenses, are present whether or not there is a project. The controller may make an allocation of these expenses to the project. Expenses such as these are called "indirect" or "overhead" expenses. Project managers can think of them as an internal "flat tax" on the direct expenses since the allocation is often made as a fixed percentage of the direct expenses.
Other expenses may simply be assigned to the project as a means to account for them on the company's overall P&L. For example, if a paint shop is needed by the project, and no other projects are using the paint shop, its expenses may be assigned to the project. If not for the project, perhaps the paint shop would be closed.
Expenses can also be categorized as fixed or variable. Fixed expenses are not subject to the volume of work being done. For instance, the project manager's compensation is usually a fixed expense each period. Fixed expenses are incurred each expense period regardless of the work being done. Fixed expenses are sometimes called "marching army" expenses because they are the cost of running the project even when there is little going on. Obviously, the cost of the "marching army" represents a significant risk to the project manager's plan to execute the project on budget. One strategy to mitigate "marching army" expense risk is to convert fixed expenses to variable expenses whenever possible.
Variable expenses track the workload: more work, more expense. For example, the number of painters in the paint shop may be variable according to workload. The risk associated with variable costs is the setup and teardown costs, even if the cost item is software system engineers rather than painters. If the same system engineers do not return to the project when needed, then the setup and training costs for new system engineers may be prohibitive. Thus, the project manager may elect to convert a variable category to a fixed category and bear the risk of the "marching army" of system engineers as a better bet than the recruiting of a variable workforce of system engineers.
Variable Expenses and Lean Thinking
Lean Thinking [2] is the name of a book by James Womack and Daniel Jones [3] and a concept of optimizing variable activity and expense. The essence of the concept is to create "flows" of activities leading to valuable deliverables. Minimizing batch cycles that cause interruption in the value stream and require high cost to initiate and terminate creates flows. Initiation and termination costs are "nonvalue add" in the sense that they do not contribute to the value of the deliverable. For example, if a project deliverable required painting, say the color red, should all red painting wait until all red painting requirements are ready to be satisfied in a red paint batch, or could a specific deliverable be painted red now and not be held up for others not ready to be painted?
What about sequential development? A familiar methodology is the so-called "waterfall" in which each successive step is completed before the next step is taken. The objective of the waterfall is to obviate scrap and rework if new requirements are discovered late. As an example, in the waterfall methodology all requirements are documented on one step of the waterfall before design begins on the next successive step. Each step is a "batch." Flow in the value stream is interrupted by stopping to evaluate whether or not each step is completed, but "marching army" variable costs are minimized: once the requirements staff is finished, they are no longer needed, so there is no subsequent nonvalue add to bringing them back on the project.
Lean thinking applied to project cost management has many potential benefits. If the cost to initiate the batch work could be made negligible, whether painting or developing, project managers would plan the project exclusively around the requirements for deliverables and not around the deliverables as influenced by the requirements of the process itself. Many fixed costs could be converted easily to variable expenses, nonvalue-add variable costs could be reduced, and the overall cost to the project would be less.
Standard Costs and Actual Costs
There is yet one more way to show costs on the expense statement: manage to standard costs rather than actual costs. Simply put, standard costs are average costs. The controller sets the period over which the average is made, determines any weighting that is to be applied in the averaging process, and selects the pool of participants in the average. Table 6-1 provides an illustration of how standard costs are applied to labor categories.
Labor Code
Labor Category
Standard Cost, $/hour
Actual Compensation, Range $/hour
Lead Programmer
Senior Programmer
Systems Programmer
Senior Welder
Welding Specialist 1
Welding Specialist 2
In some businesses, the project is charged the standard cost for, for example, a welder or forklift operator rather than the actual cost. The controller's office manages the variance between the sum of the standard costs and the sum of the actual costs on the project. Sometimes this variance is charged to the project and sometimes it goes into the indirect cost pool and therefore is liquidated by charge back to projects in the overhead rate. Thus, the variance to standard cost could become a project expense over which the project manager has some control with other project managers if more than one project is contributing to the standard cost pool. However, even more problematic for the project manager, the standard cost variance could be passed to a customer if the customer has contracted for the project on a cost-reimbursable contract. Such arrangements are common in federal government contracting, especially in the defense sector. [4]
Cost Categories on the Profit and Loss Statement
Cost categories on the P&L can be interlaced in a hierarchy according to the view most advantageous to managers. Direct expenses could be divided into fixed and variable, or you could turn it around so that fixed expenses could be divided into direct and indirect. At the bottom line, the sum total is indifferent to the management's selection of the cost hierarchy.
[1]The exception to the project manager creating the WBS occurs when the project is on a contract for a customer who chooses to define the WBS. Typically, the customer will define the WBS down to the second or third level. To the customer, this WBS is the contractor WBS (CWBS). The contractor uses this CWBS, but extends it to lower levels to encompass the project detail of the implementing organization. Further explanation of this concept can be found in MIL-HDBK-881, Department of Defense Handbook Work Breakdown Structure, January 1998, Chapter 3.
[2]Womack, James P. and Jones, Daniel T., Lean Thinking, Simon & Schuster, New York, 1996, Introduction, pp. 15–28.
[3]James Womack and Daniel Jones are probably best known for their groundbreaking study of just-in-time quality manufacturing at Toyota that was documented in their famous book with co-author David Roos, The Machine That Changed the World.
[4]As an example of standard costs in reimbursable-cost-type contracts, consider the situation in which a customer contracts for a project and the proposal for the work is prepared by the project manager using standard costs. As named individuals are assigned by the project manager to do contracted work, the compensation of the named individuals may be more or less than the standard costs for their labor category. The variance to standard costs, either favorable or unfavorable, would be passed to the customer on a cost-reimbursable contract. On the other hand, if the contract is fixed price standard cost, then the variance to standard cost is absorbed by the project and is not passed to the customer.

Need advice regarding my parents.(23 Posts)
I am really needing some objective advice regarding my parents. I feel really awful writing this as they are very kind and generous people but I'm really starting to dislike them intensely and find and time spent with them stressful and draining and feel really on edge. This will probably end up really long so please try and bear with me.
My parents have always had short fuses and I can remember even when I was younger the feeling of having to tread on eggshells. They were never physically abusive but they would sometimes blow up at the slightest thing. My dad would have been worse than my mum. Now he has retired he is even worse and I just feel it spoils any time we spend with them as my DC's are starting to get a bit scared of his temper.
My parents also expect your full attention when speaking to you and if interrupted by a phone or my DC's they get quite cross. If my dad wants my attention he will not wait and literally either shout or get right in my face until i turn my attention to him. If I am dealing with my DC's he would say to them that's enough with mummy now, I want to talk to her.
They are also intensely judgemental and inappropriate when making comments about people when out in public eg. Making fun of people with disabilities in front of the DC's so they laugh. When I pull them up about it I am told to get over myself and get a sense of humour. When I said that if this carries on they wouldn't have DC's as much, I was called a politically correct do-gooder.
Their behaviour has never really upset me as much as it is at the moment, I have always just excepted that they can be grumpy at times but otherwise are loving and generous and we were never short of affection growing up. If you ask a favour of them they never fail to help. Their anger and general behaviour just seem to be getting worse as they get older and I don't really want to spend time with them as it always ends up a miserable experience.
Forgot to add that I don't live in the same country as them and would see them about 6 times a year. They are both in their late sixties.
This is probably the time to stop being 'the child' and start being 'the adult'. Shift the power-balance. It's too easy to stay trapped in your kid persona when in the presence of parents but all that does is perpetuate everyone's bad habits & stock responses and leave you feeling upset/inadequate.
Pick them up on inappropriate comments. Tell them shouting at each other or at you is unacceptable. In short, don't accept behaviour from them that you wouldn't accept from anyone else. Deal with them as you would any other difficult person. They won't like it - as per the 'politically correct do-gooder' remark - but you have to stand your ground, be consistent and be firm.
Someone will be along shortly using words like 'toxic' and recommending you don't see them again. I prefer the more assertive route where you maintain contact but swing the power-balance your way. You can do it.
Agree with Cogito.
You can't make them change...all you can do is decide what you will and will not tolerate yourself...and that's perfectly within your own jurisdiction.
I have been doing that this visit as it has been horrendous. I firmly told them the other day that I would not be coming back if things don't change as it is not a good environment for the kids. I get accused of over-reacting and causing problems and my mum gets all huffy and emotional so I end up looking like a bitch.
They really have been awful this time, I'm wondering if it's because my DH isn't with me this time. I just feel so ill with stress my nerves are wrecked and I'm counting the days until we go home.
I just feel so ill with stress my nerves are wrecked and I'm counting the days until we go home.
I think it's time to bring up the "toxic" word.
Here are some useful resources you might get comfort and good advice from:
- Toxic Parents
- of the Self-Absorbed
- When you and your mother can't be friends
- Stately Homes thread.
Good luck. You are not alone, and it's perfectly ok to feel this way about your parents.
All us assertive women 'look like a bitch' (Thinking of having that printed on a t-shirt) That's just the price you pay for being the grown-up whilst others go around chucking their toys out of the pram and being childish. What you find however is that, once the huffing and puffing has died down, they regard you with a new wariness and are slightly better behaved next time around. It's stressful at first because standing up to parents is reversing a life-time's habit.... however, when you get home, you'll be very pleased you stuck to your guns under fire. Have a or a in the meantime.
Thanks for all your advice. Not having a good day, spent most of it in tears. To top it all off my dad has just kicked the dog in a fit of temper in front of the kids.
I am now at the park with the kids as they were pretty upset by what happened. My mum has just rang my mobile to say I'm being OTT and spoiling their time with their grandchildren.
I don't think we'll be back for a long time.
Think I would be tempted to text back you need there behavior to change before you feel happy revisiting-give them something in writing to mull over before you go back
Is it your dog? I'd be appalled if I saw someone do that. If it's their dog I'd be calling the RSPCA and telling them the dog is at risk.
Tbh they sound like bullies.
Your parents are bullies, and enable each other to carry on bullying (cf your mother's claim that you are being OTT...)
No wonder your kids were upset!
I understand that sinking feeling when you realise that your parents are just not nice people, and that they do choose not to treat you and others with respect, and refuse to hear criticism of their behaviour.
Just walk away from all that dysfunction. You cannot change them, and you are playing a role in their drama by giving them someone to put down and gang up on. Who needs that in their life?
I second the posts above about setting boundaries, esp Cogito's. FWIW, I also have had a difficult relationship w my folks. Growing up we all walked on egg shells around DF due to his temper and mt DM is drama personified- she's great if it's all about her, not so great when I have needs or small children to attend to (I have 2 DC).
The most important things for me in standing up to them calmly was knowing I didn't want the same for my kids. And a lot of the time when I first set boundaries or called them on their inappropriate behaviour, it was rea
Ly hard- one time telling my DF that all I was doing was being a mother and if he didn't like that (because of his issues w my DM (acrimonious divorce), that was his problem but we wouldn't come back- they live in a different country to me too. Since then it's been much better (though unfortunate in that instance it took a stand up row to get there).
With my mum, she simply doesn't engage with them- we were in my home town last weekend and mum sat and read the paper while DC were having their tea at her house. This is while saying she loves them so much, wants DD (ds is only a baby but dd is nearly 4) to come over for a trip by herself etc etc. But you know what- it doesn't matter. Previously I'd have been so upset at my mum ignoring my DC but by lots of practice of letting both my folks know what is and isn't ok (which at times has involved saying my piece and then legging it to park/friend's house/loo to cry), our last trip was fine. Nothing had changed w my folks, but I made sure we spent lots of time w caring friends, limited time w somewhat toxic family and didn't take the crap personally.
Good luck- it's hard, but so worthwhile. And you and your DC will benefit so much from you taking the adult role in your relationship w your folks.
Ps sorry for length!
Don't be afraid of being the "bitch" and upsetting them by asserting yourself. After all, they're not at all concerned about upsetting you and your dcs, are they?
They sound absolutely vile. And as for spoiling their time with the gcs, come back with, "No, YOU are spoiling it with your shouting, horrible jokes etc."
Sounds very difficult.
Omg - so they behave like a pair of ill mannered, domineering turds, and if you express displeasure, you are spoiling the time spent with their grandchildren?!
Sounds to me like your father is a raging arsehole, and your mother is conditioned into thinking his revolting behaviour is acceptable and normal...to the point she defends it, and even joins in.
In doing so, she's just as bad.
Fuck that OP - the can't behave so stay away.
BTW... part of the stress probably comes from living in their house when you visit. Being on someone else's territory - especially if it was ever your childhood home - always puts you on the back foot. Perhaps, before you visit again, consider booking into a nearby hotel. You'd have somewhere to get away to if they start misbehaving.
Yep- hotel makes a massive difference- we were in one on our last trip. It meant I always had somewhere to escape to.
They both sound like complete arsewipes, OP.
I hate to say that as of course they are your parents and you care about them considerably. But making jokes about disabled people or fat people or little old ladies or anyone is not nice and doesn't teach the DCs to treat people nicely.
Your Dad's temper sounds completely out there and if he kicked your dog, I'd seriously consider never seeing them again because that's abuse. All of this is abuse really, plain and simple. If it's their dog as someone mentioned, call RSPCA. A dog shouldn't have to put up with such vile individuals and neither should you.
Does your partner normally draw a line then, if they have been worse this time? Either way, I'd consider keeping your contact with them to telephone calls if they always act in such a disgusting manner.
No wonder your DCs are scared of your Dad. Are you scared of your Dad? Do you think your Mum is? If she is, it still doesn't excuse her behaviour but it explains why she laughs it off as some use that as a coping mechanism. She sounds emotionally aggressive and your father, physically.
I know it's difficult to distance yourself from your own family as you care for them and hate to see them in a bad light. But you have to think about what's best for the DCs - I'm sure you wouldn't like them to start behaving like your DM and DF.
Be firm with them.
If that doesn't work, give them a warning about their behaviour.
If that doesn't work, remind them of your previous warning.
If that doesn't work, cut them out.
It seems you're on the last stage at the moment. I hope you're OK OP and hope your DP supports you in any decison you make. What does he think of all this?
Sorry this was so long :O
I agree with Cogito. You need to get out of the usual patterns of behaviour from childhood. I would just sit them down -with DH- and tell them that you are now an adult and that you want changes which are ..................
Easier said than done I know.
Wow they are unbelievable. How many days have you got before you can go home? Can you leave early?
Really there is nothing to lose in raising these issues with them. They are going to miss out on the GC if they don't change their behaviour- but it might be easier to converse with them once you have got home.
Or you could just wait until they invite you again and then explain why you are not going.
Your father demands your full attention?
Is he a toddler?
I have never heard the like!!
Kicked the dog?
Can you leave?
I´d be trying to!
They sound exactly like my parents. I second all the advice here. Not because it necessarily works with such childish twunts* who refuse to see any point of view but their own, but because you know you don't want to facilitate their behavious, and particularly you don't want their behaviour happening in front of your children.
*also known as embattled human beings with zero emotional intelligence who are discovering that their 1950s schoolyard strategies for dealing with life no longer actually work. I feel really sorry for them when I'm sufficiently far away from them (any closer and I'm too busy feeling embattled myself).
Imagine the shock of being allowed to behave like a sulky toddler all your life and suddenly being told aged 67 that it's no longer acceptable. Even worse, being told it by someone for whom you have no respect, automatically, because they're your child - because authority figures don't include other humans just like ourselves, insight only comes from people on TV or headmasters or something.
Excellent post, Anna.
OP - I feel very sorry for you in this situation and agree that your children don't need to be exposed to their frankly appalling behaviour. Since it's very unlikely that your parents will change, especially not on your say-so, since you are their child and therefore inferior and subordinate to them in every way in their heads, the only thing you can do is reduce contact and tell them, in as objective language as possible, exactly why you are doing so.
Good luck
You definitely need to stay somewhere else. Although obviously this will probably be a HUGE battle - because they KNOW that it will take a whole lot of control off them, and regardless of whether they are sensitive to others comments you will probably get 'What will X think??!!'
Staying somewhere else gives you the ability to walk out with the DC if they start shouting or doing things you don't approve of/don't want you DC exposed to. I did that with my DM years ago, she kept asking me about something I didn't want to talk to her about and she kept trying to get me to talk to her about it. I warned her that the next time she brought it up that I would walk out of there, and I did. I didn't say a word to her, I picked up my bag and walked out of there. The fact that I had to walk 45 minutes to get home just made it even more pointed. Worked though!
Are they bored and frustrated? Have they recently retired or had to give things up because of illness? Lost friends due to them being ill and not able to get out as much? I know my parents can get a little like this, but they have/are suffering massively due to illness and I know the pain and frustration gets too much for them at times.
But.... one thing that I noticed in you posts is the comment that if your dad is talking to you and your DC interrupt he gets upset with that. Do you do anything to stop you DC interrupting? I understand that if it's a long conversation then your DC will at some point interrupt, but it can get frustrating trying to talk to someone who always lets their DC interrupt and almost control the conversation. My DC interrupt, and I really try to tell them it's 'grown up conversation time - unless it's very urgent'. But my DH and I do that with them at home so they don't get a sudden shock when we do that when out.

India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar had appealed for Tendulkar, who has been in tremendous form for the Mumbai Indians with 176 runs in four matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League, to be available for next month's event in the Caribbean.
But the record-breaking batsman has other ideas.
"I will not be playing the ICC World T20. I have not played T20 internationals from 2007 onwards and I do not think it should become an issue now," he told CNN-IBN.
The India squad for the World Twenty20 will be announced on Friday.
Tendulkar, 36, won the game against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday almost single-handedly with an unbeaten 71 for Mumbai in the seven-wicket victory.
India's former opening batsman Navjot Singh Siddhu had also urged Tendulkar to be available for the World Twenty20, saying the player is still good enough in any format of the game.
"Sachin is a cricketer who can adapt to any situation and score at any level," he said. "He is like a little boy whose enthusiasm for cricket refuses to die."

Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee has agents in more communities than any other insurance companies. We are proud to serve Sumner County, Tennessee. We cover more homes in Tennessee than any other insurance company. We are the second largest writer of auto and individual life insurance policies in the state. If you are in need of home insurance, car insurance, or life insurance, our local agents are here to help you.
Here are some helpful tips to wash your whip this spring:
• Not all soaps are created equal. Don't reach for the dish soap when you decide you want to wash your car this weekend. It has chemicals that strip through the coat of protective wax causing damage to the paint. Be sure and use detergents made specifically for automobiles.
• Always wash your wheels and tires first. They can be easily rinsed off after you finish the rest of the car.
• Your car's exterior takes a beatin' every season. Be sure to bring some elbow grease and reapply wax every couple of months to protect the paint.

Hi Cody, have you had contact with the new Oregon Duck coaching staff?
CS: Hi, yeah the whole staff showed up at school today.
What did the coaches have to say today at school? Did you know they were coming by?
CS: I had no clue they were going to stop by the school. They told me that they wanted to stop by the introduce themselves and get to meet me in person.
Wow that must have been a wild scene?
CS: It was definitely unexpected. I was introduced to all of the coaches and they just basically told me that I am on their radar and that I can bet on hearing from them soon.
Did you have contact with old staff? Did they offer you?
CS: I was in contact with the old staff before I committed to Arizona. I did not have an offer.
Do you know Braxton Burmeister and Darrian McNeal at all?
CS: Yes, I know both of them; I actually talked to Braxton a couple hours ago. He is stoked to be a Duck. I was really excited to block for both of them at UA. They are both great players!
Thank you for your time
CS: Thank you.

(H: I'll be delighted to attend - thank you!)
The final ten are here partly for their achievements and partly because I think they will all be wonderfully entertaining; I've tried to pick people I think will get on with each other too ...
Jane Austen A number of my chosen guests here are story tellers. Jane Austen of course needs no introduction – I'm just in awe of her abilities. She will be a quietly entertaining companion, I think - she has such a keen understanding of human nature, such a delightful, ironic wit. I adore her books, and I can't wait to talk to her about plotting and characterisation.
Victoria Wood Dinner parties are best when the conversation is amusing, I reckon, and Victoria Wood is simply one of the funniest people on the telly. I wish she was on screen more often. I've always loved her observational humour, her insight, her brilliant characterisations – and her wonderful skill on the piano. (Hopefully, she'll give us a rendition of The Ballad of Barry And Freda at the end of the meal.)
Alan Bennett I have two Bennetts on my chosen list. Alan is the first. Again, here's a consummate story teller, with a dry, gentle wit, and a piercing ability to understand the frailty of the human condition. From the Talking Heads monologues to The History Boys – just utterly brilliant drama, told with an unmistakeable voice.
Mercutio Shakespeare's wild and wonderful dreamer from Romeo and Juliet. It's always been a toss-up for me as to whether the most fanciable man in literature is Mr Darcy or Mercutio. It's a difficult one, this, but given that Mr Darcy can, as we know, be rather reserved in less than aristocratic social situations, I've plumped for Romeo's excitable cousin instead. I love his wild, exuberant character, and his courage and loyalty. I'm not at all sure he'll behave himself, but I hope my other guests will be up to the task of containing Mercutio's effervescence.
Geoffrey Chaucer For me, he is just the best story teller of them all. Down to earth, funny, vulgar, poignant, endlessly inventive ... simply wonderful! The Canterbury Tales is, to my mind, one of the most impressive collections of stories ever written – and the foundation of so much of English literature. I hope it will entertain Mr Chaucer to meet people like Victoria Wood and Alan Bennett, who are so very clearly his literary descendents (albeit in other genre), and we'll all have so much to learn from him.
Elizabeth Bennett I feel rather diffident bringing my second Bennett to the table. After all, I'm going to be sitting her down either next to or opposite her creator. But Elizabeth Bennett, from Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice has to be one of the most delightful heroines in any novel. Intelligent, funny, determined, independent and compassionate – I hope she will enjoy the evening and be suitably diverted by the assembled company.
Leonardo da Vinci Given the era and settings of my two novels, I felt I ought to have a Renaissance man at the dinner. And Da Vinci has probably the greatest mind that there has ever been. Artist, scientist, inventor, anatomist – the list of his achievements is unique. I'm a little worried that he will be SO frighteningly clever that I won't be brave enough to say a word to him, but, given that he is a well-known and life-long vegetarian, at least we'll have that in common as a topic of conversation, if I find myself lacking in other respects.
Bill Bryson On a number of occasions I have been acutely embarrassed in public by Mr Bryson - because I have been reading one or other of his books, and have ended up shouting with laughter (they are howlingly funny), and have had to apologise to my companions for disturbing the peace. I'm a rubbish traveller, but I'm sure I would manage much better were Mr Bryson to travel along with me. (I'm lucky enough to be represented by the same literary agency, too) I think I'll sit him next to Geoffrey Chaucer – and then I can just sit back and listen to the ensuing conversation.
Robert Browning Apart from the fact that I think Browning is a wonderful poet, and the fact that I know from what I've read of him that he was an entertaining and interesting companion, I will SO enjoy asking him whether he approves of what I've done with his duke in my novel, and discussing Signor d'Este with him. I have so much to thank Mr Browning for! I've tried writing verse in Browning's style in the past – rhyming iambic couplets with the rhymes hidden in run-on lines - so if I'm feeling brave enough, I might show him one or two of my poems and see if I can get some feedback ...)
Modesto Helen, I'm hoping you won't mind if I pick one of my own characters to come to this dinner party. Modesto is my eponymous courtesan's manservant, and ever since he first came into my head, he's been the character I've written with whom I would most like to sit down and have dinner – so I hope it's OK if he comes along to this occasion. Modesto is what was known in the Renaissance as a castrato – as a ten year old boy (along with tens of thousands of other boys) he was castrated by the church authorities to preserve his extraordinary singing voice and keep him a permanent soprano. Despite this appalling start in life, Modesto is witty and wise and loyal and kind, and will so much enjoy the company around the table at this dinner.
(You can meet him here for yourself in the first chapter of the book on my website!)
Helen: what a delightful post Gabrielle - I'm dashing off now to buy the books!

Brennan and Booth go to investigate an apparent suicide in Arlington National Cemetery, but soon find out that it was murder and that the victim was a soldier who had served in Iraq. The investigation leads to a lot of unanswered questions about the military unit the soldier belonged to, with all clues pointing to a cover-up.

The Android Google #io14 case
Watching Google IO every year is fun time. Unfortunately we have never had the pleasure of being there, seeing all those nice things, events, people and goodies during the 2 days conference is real spin in the direction of where we go. But then again, we have the pleasure to watch most of the topics online. Well, it's Google. They have the bandwithz0rz.
Again, this year, Google IO is really good organized, marketed and positioned for the current and future releases of all Google's products. Amongst them, Android and Chrome as most "important" open projects for the company. As one of the twitts stated it's a matter of buying new mobile phone, watch, car and TV after this years' Google IO. So many nice things and so many nice features. One of the first things that got presented and we like most here is the Android One device. Making cheap Android device is crucial for the Android ecosystem, so that other vendors such as Samsung (or any other noname) in a way stop releasing devices with LDPI density and Android versions 2.3 because they want to cover the people that cannot afford the more expensive devices. Now, with the Android One project people from the emerging markets and developing countries will be able to get a modern, up-to-date device with decent Android versions and screen sizes. All for less than $100.
Another important thing was the unification of the UI of Android. The Material project offers that and will cover all types of Google applications (Android, Chrome, TV, etc..) with unified UI and UI/UX guidelines and specification. Why is this important? Because it's enough from the ugly Android user-interfaces and the non-usable wanna-be-some-other-platform UI modifications. Android is independent platform and has nothing to do with how other platforms work.
Battery-life will be improved independently for each device by something called project Volta. Amongts other things, the great JobScheduler (at least how it sounds).
Really special place in our hearts (<3) was put for Android Wear, Auto and TV. Projects worth gold! Everything is so smoothly synchronized between the devices (i.e. the Android watch is in full sync with your phone device) that there is really little need from you to organize how your life works.
And the most valuable and useful news announced on this year's Google IO is the Android Auto project. If you still haven't seen it in action, you will see it and if you're car fan, immediately fall in love with this project. First cars with the Android Auto system integrated by default and as part of the Open Auto Alliance are expected to come during this year (before the end of 2014 actually).
Two things that we'd like to criticize are:
Little or no gaming experience improvement
What catches our eye every year on Google IO and Android development in general, is how Google won't invest their time in improving the game-development processes for Android. While iOS has the excellent Sprite Kit, Android still doesn't have a horse to match that race. Most of the games are to be developed by 3rd party libraries such as Cocoa2d or libgx (which are excellent libraries not to be misunderstood!). It's really nice to see every new bit of excitement about Android's products, but we, as development team would be really happy to see how Android improves the development experience for gamers. Hope soon we'll get corrected about this.
Localized features
Most of Google and in general Android products are still localized that much that they are fully available only in US or more developed countries across Europe and Asia. While new features go out and developers enjoy the new benefits of the new SDKs, good part of us (developers) struggle with not having services such as Google Merchant accounts, Play Music, Books, TV/Videos, turn by turn Navigation, etc. They are available only in specific countries in the world which, you can easily conclude, Google cares the most. Hopefuly this is not the case, but Google likes us to get part of the Android ecosystem they better offer wider range of services to developers from all world countries. Otherwise, everything is hypocritical and not honest.

Hiring a maid service in Fairfax, VA
You deserve the best when it comes to the company you hire to help with housekeeping. But other than basic cleaning capabilities, what should you look for when it comes to a maid service? Here is a helpful checklist compiled from customers throughout Fairfax County, with questions you can ask potential cleaning companies.
- Cleaning products: Are they safe for use around children and pets? Are they environmentally friendly? Do you use HEPA filters on your vacuums?
- Satisfaction guarantee: Do you have one? How do you resolve complaints?
- Insurance and security: Are your employees fully insured and bonded? Have they undergone background checks? Do you directly hire from the local area (Fairfax, Reston, Annandale, Falls Church, and McLean)?
- References: Can you provide contact information for three to five references?
Your Search Ends With The Maids
Go ahead and ask around when hiring a maid service – you will see that no one else can compete with The Maids when it comes to quality and service standards. Only green and family-friendly cleaning products will be used in your home. All of the vacuums are outfitted with HEPA filters to capture up to 99% of dust and allergens.

We hire only from local areas, and our maids teams are fully trained, insured, and bonded. References are available from throughout the Fairfax area, and our referral rate is the highest in the industry.
Would You Leave Your Keys With The "Other Guys?"
Trustworthy, dependable, and professional, The Maids has a stellar reputation in Fairfax County. So much so, that most of our customers give us their keys to clean when they are not at home. That's the highest compliment to our company, and we will work hard to earn and maintain that level of trust with you. If you are hiring a maid service, The Maids is here to help with a no-cost quote and a $50 off voucher for new regular service customers.
