After not seeing his brother Army Spc. Adrian Equihua, 22, for over a year, Arroyo Valley High School senior Ruben Equihua, 17, was given a big surprise during a sports pep rally on Friday August 22 at the San Bernardino campus.
Principal Gordon Emerson called Ruben from the stands as a part of the "senior spotlight" which celebrates the efforts of senior students. He was unsure what he had done to receive that type of attention.
Just moments later, looking over the shoulders of Emerson, he saw his big brother and gave him a hug as hundreds of students cheered from the bleachers of the gymnasium.
"I haven't seen him in a year," Ruben said tearfully after the assembly. "Knowing that he's home safe and sound makes me happy."
Big brother Adrian came up with the idea, after consulting with his wife about it after he arrived back to the United States after serving nine months in Afghanistan.
"We didn't really have a lot time to communicate," Adrian said. "I told my wife, 'Hey what do you think about me surprising Ruben?'. I spoke to Mrs. Elliot and they were really helpful in getting this together."
Ruben's immediate reaction was to hug his brother. He felt obligated to do so.
"It's great to know that he's safe," he said.
The two brothers both grew up in San Bernardino and are avid soccer fans. Adrian, a 2010 Arroyo Valley graduate said it felt great coming back to his "stomping grounds", where he said he remembers running up and down the halls and interacting with old teachers.
Ruben said his brother means the world to him.
"Every time someone asks me, like, why do I like soccer
so much or why do I enjoy playing so much, it's because growing up, he was always there to teach me new stuff," Ruben said. "He was always there to teach me a new trick he learned. And when I couldn't do it, he'd get frustrated with me, just like a big brother would, but he never gave up on me."
Ruben plans to attend college after he graduates from Arroyo Valley high school to study business management, whil Adrian plans to be a career soldier.
Joining Adrian at the high school was his wife, their daughter of 18 months, and Ruben's mother. Adrian is home for two weeks before he has to report back to Fort Drum in New York for training for deployment.

Illinois Governor at it again
Just to let those in Illinois know if they dont already.
If you live in Illinois contact your representatives.
I'm not familiar with the Illinois constitution, but can a governor amend a law without the consent of the legislature???:confused:
What the hell were the people of Illinois smoking when they let that one through? :eek: :(
If "amendatory veto" suggests changes in a bill, wouldn't it then go back to the legislature for re-vote before becoming law????:confused:
If not, the governor would have dictatorial powers, and I would be surprised if the federal courts would allow that.
What an effen tool
it's been that way since 1970 .... somehow I don't think the Fed's give a shit about Chicago corruption .... take a look at how they are operating now :cool:
Very often the wrong laws are written for the right reasons. Im sure in 1970, the people must have been confronted with an out of control electorate and decided to give the governor the power to fix it. 10 governors later, the laws still on the books and can be used by any and all in the mansion to rewrite the legislation they sign the way they want.
They do the same thing differently at the federal level. If The POTUS knows he lacks support, he can just decree it be done and/ or extend and amend current legislation to fill the gaps until they can get a solid majority. They havent passed a single budget in Washington since GW left town.
Amend, extend, revise and threaten to shut down the whole damn system but they will not fund the operations of our Gov the way we in our homes must, with a friggin budget!
has three options.
1. Confirm the governors action by a majority vote.
2. Veto the governors action by a 3/5 vote.
3. Do nothing: The governors "amendatory veto" becomes a dead issue.
Yes it will go back for a vote, they return Aug 17. People always say vote them out however, The Gov. was elected by only 2 or3 counties. Those being in the Chicago area. This is where things really need changed is in the way votes are counted. You figure 98% of the state (county wise) did not want him but because a couple of the chicago area counties have such a high number on the electoral he wins. Absolutely Idiotic.

1. Ello Ello
2. Ahhh, herroh preeze
However, it appears that most women I'm attracted to do not share my belief. Go figure.
I'm a work to live kinda guy, not vice versa. Ironically, I do tend to put forth more effort towards my work than other parts of my life (which really are more important) sometimes.
Way more East Coast than West Coast, but I think mostly in the right ways. Sometimes I think Portland is the world capital of lack of spacial and situational awareness.
I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week. That includes friends, food, etc. The same obviously extends to sex, hence my presence on OkCupid. However, I do recognize the irony of that statement.
If you make it to the end of all this nonsense, you'll see I'm looking for a teammate and not a coach. That's just how a honkey feels.
Improving my lot in life and trying not to step on anybody else's toes while doing so.
Not playing enough cribbage and hot dice. Call me boring, but playing some games with friends is what I consider an enjoyable evening. That coupled with a nice meal and a few quality adult beverages.
If most of this sounds ambiguous, that's because it is. I've just recently gotten myself to a point where I can start earnestly contemplating some kickass vacation spots and more challenging and fulfilling work.
- Working smarter, not harder
- Learning new things pretty quickly
- Eliciting strange looks from people (usually because of something ridiculous I've said, or the fact I'm singing the Bee Gees "Nights on Broadway as I bike by them)
- Not getting dates on OKCupid
From other people's perspective... No idea. A friend recently told me that I obviously don't give a shit what people think about me. That's definitely true (to a point).
Movies: Dark Knight, Holy Grail, Big Lebowski, etc.
Shows: South Park, Breaking Bad, Colbert and Stewart (God rest their programs). I recently convinced my brother to fork over his HBO GO login info. I'm loving it (probably more than I should).
Music: Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Motown, etc.
Food: Sushi, pizza, oysters, etc.
1. Comfortable bed
2. Jerb (as in... "They're takin' our jerbs!!!")
3. Coffee
4. Good beer
5. Internet
6. Travel/Outdoors
Smart phones and dating websites have clearly had a negative impact on humanity.
Where my next vacation will take me.
Sometimes I feel like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEaKX9YYHiQ
Finally, initially I'll probably show more affection to your pet(s) than to you. Pets tend to be warmer and more welcoming than people. Hang around me long enough though, and I'll probably try humping your leg.
You're looking to forge a team, not create some sort of managerial environment.

Our Syrie rug is inspired by Islamic ceramic tiles and is a classic Jonathan Adler motif. Yellow features a largescale pattern for a bold statement in any room.
This rug is entirely handmade, from the spinning of the wool to the weaving on the loom. It is unique, and has been crafted by weavers in the Kathmandu area, whose skills have been passed down through many generations. We use only the highest quality wool for our rugs, that of the Tibetan sheep, for its durability, rich texture and subtle colour variation. To this we have added the vision of a world class designer, and the result is a hand knotted contemporary rug of extraordinary beauty, which will itself become an heirloom to be treasured for years to come.

Arch Enemies Optical Illusions
For every good, there is evil. For every life, there is death. And for every superhero, there is a villain! Artist named Simon C. Page has taken the idea that heroes and villains are deeply connected, and turned it into art using his own variation of the Two Faces and a Candlestick optical illusion. The posters, which there are only two of so far, can be ordered through his website and would definitely look right at home on any fan's wall. Check out the posters below of Spiderman Vs. The Green Goblin, and Batman Vs. The Penguin. The trick is, can you see both good and evil in both posters? Or just one? What if you turn them upside down ???

A fully funded 3.5 year PhD Studentship is available from October 2014 to work on "Model-Based Assessment of Compromising Emanations". The project aims to improve our understanding of electro-magnetic emissions that are unintentionally emitted by computing equipment, and the eavesdropping risks they pose. In particular, it aims to improve test and measurement procedures (TEMPEST) for computing equipment that processes extremely confidential data. We are looking for an Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Physics graduate with an interest in electronics, radio communication, hardware security, side-channel cryptanalysis, digital signal processing, electromagnetic compatibility, or machine learning.
This Studentship is funded through Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) under their Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR) programme. As part of this programme, the doctoral student will be able to visit and work with GCHQ experts in Cheltenham. To enable such collaboration, this studentship is awarded under the condition that the applicant obtains an advanced UK government security clearance ("developed vetting"). To make this feasible, the applicant should have lived in the UK for the last 10 years and ideally be a British National.

If ever a creature was in need of a rebranding exercise, it's the bat.
Thanks to Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, coupled with their rather anti-social reputation for being little blood suckers, it's not difficult to work out why they've become one of the most despised species on earth.
So it's lucky for the bats of Mexico that they have their very own PR man in Rodrigo Medellin. Rodrigo has devoted his life to their conservation and to re-educating people about their importance to Mexico's livelihood.
When he was a child, Rodrigo kept vampire bats as pets, but now his favourite bat is the lesser long-nosed bat, which doesn't drink blood at all.
It doesn't drink tequila either, but nicknaming it the Tequila bat might be the masterstroke that saves it from extinction, because these little animals are responsible for pollinating the agave plants that tequila is made from.
Without tequila, Mexico's economy would crumble and, when Rodrigo tells people that, they suddenly take a whole new interest in bat welfare.
David Attenborough narrates this film that sees Rodrigo follow the bats on their long migration – a journey taking him into dank caves as he wades knee-deep through rivers of bat poo, through seas of cockroaches and into the over-powering stench of the bat mating season.
Just like the Mexicans, Rodrigo might make you see bats in a whole new light too.

Jill Shalvis, Hope Ramsay, and Katie Lane
Small Town Christmas
Forever, $2.99, Nov. 1, 2011
Three heartwarming holiday stories
to prove that love is the greatest gift of all
"Kissing Santa Claus"
NASCAR driver Logan Perrish returns to Lucky Harbor, Washington, with love in his heart and a ring in his pocket. But can Sandy Jansen forget the past and give him a second chance? Or will Logan be spending another Christmas alone?
"I'll Be Home for Christmas"
After ignoring the advice of Miz Miriam Randall, local matchmaker, Annie Roberts expects another hum drum holiday in Last Chance, South Carolina. But when a stray cat arrives in the arms of Army sergeant Matt Jasper, a calico named Holly just may be the best matchmaker of all.
"O Little Town of Bramble"
All Ethan Miller wants for Christmas is to celebrate in Bramble, Texas, with family and friends. But when his childhood neighbor, Samantha Henderson, comes home for the holiday, Ethan realizes that the girl-next-door could be the girl of his dreams.
Christmas has to be the greatest time of the year for me. I adore the colorful and cheesy decorations, the songs that seem to float on the air, and the joy that radiates from every man, woman, and child you meet. Christmas is indeed an enchanted time and the romantic stories that evolve during this season have to be my all time greatest pleasure. I love reading about love lost and gained during a season that speaks of magic and second chances.
In the anthology Small Town Christmas, we are gifted with three sweet romantic love stories by three best selling romantic contemporary authors who indeed know the the true meaning of Christmas is love.
"Kissing Santa Claus," by Jill Shalvis, is an offshoot of her best-selling Lucky Harbor series.
We first meet race car legend and playboy Logan Perrish in The Sweetest Thing. He's come to Lucky Harbor to try and convince his ex-wife to give him another chance. His ex has found love with another man, however, and Logan finds himself at a loss. Then he meets Sandy Jansen, who helps him forget his ex-wife (and pretty much everything else) during a steamy week of passion. Logan has to leave to get back to the circuit, and Sandy lets him go reluctantly, persuading herself that is was just a one time thing and she was nothing more then a notch in his racing helmet. But Sandy was much more to Logan and soon she finds herself swept away when Logan returns to lay claim to her heart forever. Misconceptions and doubt are cleared up quickly as Logan and Sandy find their Christmas happily ever after.
"I'll Be Home for Christmas," by Hope Ramsay, is based on her funny, nostalgic Last Chance series.
Army sergeant Matt Jasper listened to his friend tell him story after story about growing up his home town of Last Chance. So when Matt is discharged, he finds himself traveling to Last Chance to deliver one last Christmas gift for his buddy who was killed in action. Annie Roberts sees Matt, and offers him a place to stay until she can take him to deliver the package. Growing up, Matt had it hard, so when he is embraced by Annie and the residents of Last Chance, he realizes that he is getting a second chance at having the Christmas and home he never had. A heartwarming story about a soldier whose past friendship with a resident of Last Chance has him wanting to experience what his friend took for granted—a home for the holidays.
"O Little Town of Bramble" by Katie Lane is a lovely taste of her Deep in The Heart of Texas series.
I'll be honest, what called this one to me is we have a smexy nativity scene with not one but TWO virgins. Helllloooo??? Samantha Henderson and Ethan Miller were best friends growing up, but Ethan never looked at Sam the way she wanted, so when she left for college she figured he would be married with a family when she came home. Ethan Miller has always liked Sam, but his shyness held him back from letting her know his feelings. Ethan may be a little slow and laid back, but when Sam walks back in to Ethan's life he notices real quick that she is all grown up. As the town's residents watch these two circle around each other, they decide to take matters into their own hands. The whole town of Bramble, a live nativity scene, and a baby pig named Sherman combine to get these two to see that they were made for one another.
Small Town Christmas is a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit rolling with some small town humor, magic and romance.

Integrin activation is required for neutrophil functions. Impaired integrin activation on neutrophils is the hallmark of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome in humans, characterized by impaired leukocyte recruitment and recurrent infections. The Src kinase–associated phosphoprotein 2 (Skap2) is involved in integrin functions in different leukocyte subtypes. However, the role of Skap2 in β2 integrin activation and neutrophil recruitment is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate the crucial role of Skap2 in regulating actin polymerization and binding of talin-1 and kindlin-3 to the β2 integrin cytoplasmic domain, thereby being indispensable for β2 integrin activation and neutrophil recruitment. The direct interaction of Skap2 with the Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein via its SH3 domain is critical for integrin activation and neutrophil recruitment in vivo. Furthermore, Skap2 regulates integrin-mediated outside-in signaling events and neutrophil functions. Thus, Skap2 is essential to activate the β2 integrins, and loss of Skap2 function is sufficient to cause a LAD-like phenotype in mice.

WWE Wrestling Superstar, Daniel Bryan, Subdues Burglar In Phoenix. @Broomheadshow
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — Yes! Yes! Yes!
Police say a former WWE champion known as Daniel Bryan chased down a suspect burglar this week after the professional wrestler and his wife drove into their carport.
According to police, the grappler, whose real name is Bryan Danielson, saw a door to his Phoenix house start to open. Authorities say two men then ran out and Danielson gave chase.
Police say the wrestler caught one of the suspected burglars, 22-year-old Cesar Sosa, while a second suspect got away.
Investigators say Sosa and Danielson got into a struggle but the former champ subdued him until police arrived.
Sosa was arrested and faces a burglary charge.
It was not known if Sosa had an attorney.
Danielson, known for his "Yes!" chants, currently is recovering from a previous injury.

Here Is The Full Statement From Phoenix PD:
On July 24, 2014, at approximately 7:00 p.m., Phoenix Police officers responded to a call of two suspicious males in a neighborhood in the Arcadia Area. As officers were responding to the area, Bryan Danielson and his wife were pulling into their carport when they saw the door that leads to the house from the carport start to open. Two suspects ran out of the house and fled on foot. Mr. Danielson, who was the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion (aka Daniel Bryan), chased the two men.
After some distance, Mr. Danielson was able to catch one of the men, Cesar Sosa. A struggle ensued and Mr. Danielson was able to subdue Sosa and detain him until the police officers could take him into custody. The second suspect was not located. Sosa and his accomplice had broken the rear arcadia door to get into the house to burglarize it. When the burglary was interrupted, they dropped their loot and ran away.
Cesar Sosa was booked into the Maricopa County Jail charged with burglary and he also had a felony warrant for his arrest, charging him with kidnapping and burglary.

Second XI Premier Division
Richard MacGregor took seven wickets to carry Chingford Seconds to a 21-run victory over Buckhurst Hill Seconds.
Inserted into bat, hosts Chingford started well with Zishan Rehman (61) putting on a good score.
Thirty-one each from Sam Levido and James Hill pushed the Chingford total onto 210 for eight before they declared.
Sam Sullivan took five for 38 for Buckhurst Hill, who faltered with the bat in reply.
Prashant Chand-Bajpal (73) and David Roberts (22) opened well but from there, the visitors struggled. Despite a handful of late runs, they closed on 189 all out.
MacGregor (seven for 71) and Richard Offord (three for 57) did the damage for the home side.
Wanstead and Snaresbrook Seconds suffered a blow in their title push, with Upminster seconds securing a four-wicket success.
Inserted into bat, visitors Wanstead saw opener Joseph Palmer hit 45 from 66 balls but the runs began to slow, with Steven Ramdial (44) the pick of the middle order.
Daniel Tyler proved a menace with the ball for the hosts. He took six for 65 to rattle through Wanstead's line-up and dismiss the visitors for 211.
In reply, half-centuries from James Evans (54) and Jason McNally (58) carried the home side to the points, with a total of 214 for six.
South Woodford Seconds held third-from-bottom Shenfield Seconds to a draw, narrowly avoiding defeat.
Batting first, the hosts opened encouragingly with Larry Cant (48) and Shaun Gymer (46) getting runs on the board.
From there though, the Shenfield bowling attack took charge. Ryan Lugg (five for 71) restricted the home side to 193 for nine.
Shenfield also reached 193, with Danny Hazle (48) providing the key knock.
Gymer (two for 23) and Ryan Correya (two for 51) picked up the best bowling figures as the away side were held to 193 for six from three less overs than their hosts.
Second XI Division One
Fahad Anwar hit 80 to guide Loughton Seconds to a three-wicket win over Hainault and Clayhall Seconds.
Electing to bat first, the visitors struggled at the crease and despite knocks of 48 and 53 from Hussain Ali and Adeel Malik, could only stumble to 190 all out.
Asim Asleem proved vital in keeping the Hainault score down, finishing with three for 34.
Anwar (80) and Daniel Gymer (33) got the Loughton response off to a strong start before Ben Sly (27) helped push the hosts' total to 194 for seven.
Woodford Wells Seconds remain on course for promotion after a five-wicket defeat of Fives and Heronians Seconds.
Visiting Fives won the toss and elected to bat first but began slowly, with Neil Brathwaite bowled out for a duck and Hugo Blogg making just 14.
The runs began to trickle further down the order, with Michael Batt making 31 as Louis Poynter (six for 33) took control with the ball to remove the visitors for 142.
James Tuplin opened the Wells' innings with 43 and further knocks of 43 and 27 not out from Nicholas Sims and Thomas Corbyn completed the job, with the home side reaching 146 for five.
Second XI Division Three
Epping Seconds were plunged into fresh relegation trouble after a 101-run loss at home to Old Southendian and Southchurch Seconds.
Connor Mortlok (56) opened well for Old Southendian, who saw further runs from Russel Dennis (29) and Sam Hodgson (26) push their total to 199 all out.
The hosts never caused a threat and after losing Manni Bawa (30) at number four, failed to score with any consistency before being skittled out for 98; Michael Bunce taking four for 42.
Oakfield Parkonians Seconds were comfortably beaten at Benfleet Seconds, going down by five wickets.
Kabir Matwala scored 55 but Parks were unable to build their innings thanks to the Benfleet bowling attack and were removed for 158.
John Bull (five for 75) and John Hearn (three for 26) were the protagonists for Benfleet.
In reply, Benfleet reached the required total thanks to Craig Platt (57) and David Joel (45), who helped the home side hit 159 with five wickets in hand.

I was browsing my old photos over the weekend, reminiscing on how skinny I was and thinking about printing out a picture of my 19-year-old self to hang above my mirror for inspiration, when I came across some pictures of my very first solo apartment – a one bedroom, one bath in the Nazareth neighborhood on St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
Wait, wait. This was my third solo-occupied apartment; I've always considered it my first because it was the one I stayed in the longest and the one that I loved the most. My true first apartment came with a grumpy man below who listened to clock radio all night. It also featured competing churches a stone's throw away. There is nothing worse than the sound of two different church choirs singing over each other at 8am on a Sunday morning when you work two jobs. I lasted six months. The second apartment was so dusty I couldn't breathe and I stayed for less than a month before sneaking out in the middle of the night, pick-up truck loaded.
The third (first in my mind) apartment was perfect. My landlord, Arthur, was a landscaper at the University of the Virgin Islands and his wife Madelyn, a homemaker. They had raised three kids and sent them to college when he decided to build the house. Two apartments on the ground floor with their larger home on the top floor, it had a huge yard for their two dogs Hustle and Princess to play in. They went to the nines for Christmas and decorated the whole building with white lights and put ornaments on all of the fruit trees. I loved sitting on my couch with one tiny light on, staring at the glow on my balcony.
Being that I was 19, broke and living alone, I was pretty frugal. The couches came from a rug importer who was forced out of business shortly after 9/11 due the lack of tourism. A regular at the cafe where I worked, he had brought over six sofas and six loveseats from Ikea (I didn't even know what Ikea was back then!) and sold me one of each for $100. The 'curtain' is a wrap skirt held up with a long stick of bamboo and raffia. The side table on the right is simply Coca-Cola crates from the cafe with a patterned blanket I got at the St. Thomas Humane Society Flea Market. The side table on the left was a K-Mart special ($6.99 I believe) that I decoupaged with a Putumayo calendar free from work and topped with glass. K-Mart was not only the place I could afford, but also one of the only resources for home goods and decor on the entire island. I remember bringing both of the rugs back to St. Thomas from a trip to TJ Maxx in Milwaukee and being so excited that I had something no one else on island could claim! I do owe a special thanks to Martha Stewart and her dishes, cookware, towels, lamps and bedclothes. I thought Martha très chic.
I collect cards still, and have all of the ones hanging on the wall in this photo. I used putty to hold them up and placed them everywhere. [Sidenote: pretty embarrassed to look at those shoes! My clod-hoppers in 90 degree weather… they looked so good with a wide leg pant.] These photos made me pretty happy to look at and I hope I can find more when I next make a visit to my dad's house. I know my bedroom was awesome– I used flea market bamboo blinds to construct a headboard and my side tables were K-Mart workshop benches. My style has changed a lot, but I still have that empty frame in the first and second photo hanging in my current house. I'm also still hunting for the plant stand I got from K-Mart in 2000 for $16.99 and I would love to hang my curtains with bamboo again. And the stars that came free from work because they were too beat up to display in the cafe any longer? Still in a little box in my closet, waiting for me to string 'em back up.

DALE SMITH already has his acceptance speech scripted if undefeated Callanish can continue his winning streak in Saturday's group 1 C.F. Orr Stakes at Caulfield.
The fact Smith has ridden Callanish in all eight starts is because, in part, of his close friendship with co-owner Peter Gorst, 63, who died of cancer on January 21.
''We had a close bond. He was like me. We both call it as it is, no beating around the bush,'' Smith said.
Callanish faces by far his toughest test on Saturday tackling group 1 company for the first time and he is at $8 with the TAB. But Smith and trainer Mick Price believe a group 1 is achievable, if not now, perhaps in the Australian Cup in March.
''It's sad Peter won't see him win a group 1, which I think he can. When he does, I'll be dedicating it to him,'' Smith said. ''As I said to Peter before he passed away, I have a lot of faith and confidence in this horse.''
Gorst had become a valued client of Price over a six-year association. Price described Gorst as a ''rough diamond'' and instantly warmed to him. ''He was a champion bloke.'' That Price made the 450-kilometre round trip to Lake Bolac last Friday week to attend a memorial service, the day after returning from the New Zealand yearling sales, is testament to his respect for Gorst.
Gorst was the only one of the part-owners to see Callanish score all his eight wins and his wife Susan and daughter Victoria will be among those cheering him home at Caulfield. Callanish follows another successful Price-trained galloper, Rightfully Yours, which won nine city races and more than $555,000 for Gorst and fellow part-owner/breeder Larry Bartle.
As a young horse, Callanish was a barrier rogue and Smith did much of the groundwork to overcome the horse's phobia of going into the stalls. As Callanish stretched his winning streak, there was talk of turning to a higher-profile jockey. But Gorst put a high price on loyalty and urged Price to stick with Smith.
Callanish's streak has helped Smith, 31, revitalise his career to post 50 winners this season, just 21 shy of his best. ''Without [Gorst's] support, who knows how it could have ended up?'' Smith said.
The four-year-old won a trial at Werribee on Monday and will resume in the 1400-metre Orr to ready for the Australian Cup (2000m), his main autumn goal.
''He was pushed to the line by Lone Rock but typical of him he wouldn't let her get past him,'' Smith said. ''You'd love him as a boxer. He won first-up at 1400 last time but that was a Sandown midweek. This is a step up to group 1.''
Gorst was a visionary who expanded his business from general merchandise to offering a complete rural service.
A man of many parts, ''Gorsty'' was a top local footballer and always had a form guide at the ready.
He raced harness horses with Lance Justice and Merv Dillon, then racehorses with Mick Cerchi, Ken Phillips and Price.
Gorst was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus on November 29, 40 years to the day after his father Ken died of the same disease.
His wife, Susan, is shattered: ''To watch him slip away so quickly was beyond comprehension.''

Pirates showed they're no longer doormats in memorable 2013 season
ST. LOUIS — Andrew McCutchen had hoped to celebrate his 27th birthday Thursday in Los Angeles, preparing for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
Instead, the All-Star center fielder spent the wee hours of that morning on a dark, quiet plane ride back to Pittsburgh after the Pirates were eliminated in Game 5 of the NL Division Series. The Cardinals won the NLDS and will take on the Dodgers for a World Series berth.
"We didn't end up where we wanted to," McCutchen said with a shrug. "But we definitely had an amazing year. A year to remember."
For the first time since 1992, the Pirates kept playing beyond the regular season. They finished with a winning record. They beat the Reds in the NL wild-card game. And they gave the top-seeded Cardinals a battle by taking the NLDS to the limit.
After spending two decades as the laughingstock of the major leagues, the Pirates are respectable again.
Even after a tough series loss.
"We have nothing to be ashamed of," closer Jason Grilli said. "I know (the Cardinals) respect us. I know they don't think we're a doormat. I don't think a lot of teams look at us that way anymore."
After absorbing a blowout loss in Game 1, the Pirates outscored the Cardinals, 12-4, over the next two games. They ultimately succumbed to a pair of white-hot starting pitchers. Rookie Michael Wacha and two relievers combined for a one-hitter in Game 4. Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright tossed a complete game in the clincher.
"Our hat's off, without a doubt, to the Pirates," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "That team has absolutely earned our respect and I think the respect of all of baseball (with) how they play the game — a relentless style, a very athletic team, fast and strong with great pitching. They've got it all."
The past few years, everyone associated with the Pirates — from the top levels of the front office down to the 25th man on the roster — was quick to say they wouldn't claim ownership of the franchise's long, dreadful losing streak.
McCutchen was just 7 years old when the 1993 team went 75-87 to begin the spiral of losing seasons. The shame and blame must be spread over dozens of players, coaches, scouts and executives.
However, the group of players that shared hugs and back-slaps in the somber clubhouse late Wednesday night can take sole credit for doing something special.
"It's good, knowing we are the team that made the change (happen)," McCutchen said. "We're not the team that lost again. We're the team that won. You have to take pride in that."
"It means a lot to me because it feels like this is only the beginning for us. This is a great start to have, something to remember going into the offseason. It will definitely be a motivator for all of us."

Cage Fighting on The O.C.
Haven't had the chance to post the promo pictures for season 4 of The O.C. until now but while I'm at here, below are some spoilers from TV Guide's Michael Aussiello. Above (L-R): Kelly Rowan, Willa Holland, Benjamin McKenzie, Rachel Bilson, Peter Gallagher, Adam Brody, Melinda Clarke, and Autumn Reeser. Don't miss the Mischa Barton-less The O.C. Season 4 Premiere on Thursday, November 2 @ 9PM ET/PT on FOX. More and bigger pictures in the gallery!
There are some crazy rumors going around about The O.C. (Ryan cage-fighting, Luke coming back, etc.) How accurate are they? Not sure about the cage part, but Ryan does pull a Fight Club in an attempt to numb his pain. (Speaking of the angry Chino, guess who was too distraught to attend Marissa's funeral?) And I can't confirm Luke's return, but his younger twin brothers will be regular fixtures in Kaitlin's entourage.
Do you have any new news on The O.C.? I would be grateful for anything you could tell me as long as it isn't a sarcastic remark. Me? Sarcastic? Please. What else can I tell you about The O.C… Hmm… Oh, here's a little something you may not know: When the fourth season starts, two people who were closest to Marissa arrange a, um, private meeting at the local den of inequity: the Mermaid Inn. (Hint: They answer to the names Julie and Ryan.)

Mick Travis's Comments
Comment on: UK film industry: All white at the top
The comment by anonymous re; LONDON is also very revealing. People should grasp the fact that the UK film and television industry is specifically organised to serve exclusive select or elite groups and this will inevitably be reflected in terms of its closed shop practices, funding and opportunities and access on the base of class, ethnicity, colour, gender etc and also where you live. Jon Williams at pleasedsheepfilms carefully explained the core issues in his blogs at that site and I would recommend people read them. The digital projection scheme funded with lottery money coupled with Jon Williams suggestion of screens reserved for UK films would have eliminated the problem at the root, since it would have entailed an increased demand of UK product by production companies shooting on digital which would then have access to multiplex cinemas (and revenue). The Government despite its completely fake talk of 'diversity' actually stymied the idea - the BFI are just as fake. The elite mentality is also reflected in television. There have been a number of reports and suggestions to the Government and the House of Lords and they've been steadfastly and repeatedly ignored.
Comment on: What we could learn from Iron Man's Masters
The idea that the UK has a small handful of IP Mike is just simply daft. At any given time the UK publishing industry from childrens books to genre titles represents a huge wealth of creativity, ideas, stories and characters. That production companies do not tap this probably more illustrates their own lacunae. But Arvind has accurately described why there is no unified approach. Call it the British disease. Every dog for himself. Cliques. Tribes. Class. Opportunism. All eyes on getting out to LA. I also think your comment that Arvind is saying that the British film industry would become a 'sausage factory' completely misrepresents his article and it certainly isnt what I thought he was saying at all. When JK Rowling wanted to film Harry Potter she wanted a British Studio to Produce it. There wasnt one. Loss of millions. Fact. Producers shrug, just concentrate on their film and look to America. Get the money where you can,when you can. It is entirely understandable in such a culture. Who needs leadership or vision - just get the money. The reason why a British unified approach wont happen is because of the British mentality. It is one reason why the US dominates. Every other European country protects their film industry. Not the UK. Why? Well perhaps it is because to forward the ideas that Arvind is representing, or to, for instance, get the British Government to insist that one screen should be exclusively reserved for British films, might jeopardise distribution for British film companies like Working Title in the US? Anger America and you can kiss goodbye to your chances. Keep your head down. Keep things as they stand. Ambition = a passport to America. Its something that the British are good at. What a proud nation of people.

Contradictions contradictions! So what is it then? Re; 'You can't blame the UKFC for you not writing and making something people actually might want to see or a distributor willing to pick it up and release. It's like you entered the Monza Grand Prix in a pedal car facing backwards and then moaned when you lost/were disqualified because you insisted on being so bloody minded.' or that its all down to 'poor scripts' - which I dont believe. This sounds like a lazy excuse to me. Given the hits for internet series like Dr.Horrible exhibitors and distributors are still missing a trick in not understanding that there could be well attended niche audiences for this kind of thing. It just needs cultivating. Is the belief that there is one big mass audience wanting to see the same product or are you saying that the UKFC isnt making films that exhibitors want to show? Given that distributors and exhibitors have in the past not even given such financed films adequate distribution eg; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A88dwqSN9j4 it does beg the question dont you think? This is coming from Robert Carlyle one of the UK's leading movie stars not just one indie production company alone. So whats the problem? Dont the UKFC and distributors/exhibitors communicate with eachother? Dont exhibitors meet with Producers? Or do you sit around saying 'that is not my job' and instead wait for the next US movie to release? How come leading British directors and film-makers are saying the UK film industry is wrecked? Come on Anonymous above tell us!
Comment on: Pinewood Shepperton sees profit slump by 55%
Well said Jonathan Stuart-Brown - but just remember when, or if, you build the studios in the West Midlands to make then affordable for film-makers and companies at all levels - whether its micro/low budget film makers or bigger companies - dont just make them a facility for big budget productions and those who have the big dollars. All these studios such as Pinewood did that years ago and are currently merely serve as a US production base or are open to the highest bidder - which means that many creative British companies and freelancers are locked out of a London-centric closed shop market - hence at Pinewood the prevalence of US movies and television game shows. Infact the fact that you are British does not even come into the equation - and it should. Its about money pure and simple - and as America owns the multiplexes in the uk they also use British box office money to support American production. To see how this badly affects the British Film industry read the 'Where Have all the screenwriters Gone?' opinion and subsequent comments on this same site. Ownership of Production has to be linked to ownership of exhibition - owned by the British for the interests of the British - from the creative industries to all film connected industries - even if it works in an international context for international productions/co-productions. I live near Pinewood and this has not happened in Pinewood Studios for many years. A new studio should not repeat this mistake.

Comment on: Producers who actually produce
RE; Hollywood is too enthralled in keeping the "outsiders" out, and the "insiders" in. No one wants to put in the time to "read an unknown". Humbug! Nepotism reigns supreme. It all comes down to who you know-- not how good a writer or actor one actually is.... Hooray for excellent Indies & Docs that give "outsiders" a chance to shine, and... a way in! www .fromheretoawesome.com
Comment on: Schamus attacks US security agencies in provocative LFF speech
One of the advantages that we have is that we know from history how such totalitarian states emerge and the methods they use. It would be good to see the speech on Youtube or infowars.com. Thanks to James Schamus and others who have the opportunity to give such lectures, people are waking up to the fact that this isnt just about a Government pushing its weight about, but something far more pervasive and serious. Power structures from big governments to local councils are all well integrated and networked by organisations such as Common Purpose - and these are documented facts not 'conspiracy theories'. Its up to people to do their own research on the internet and find out for themselves. History time and time again tells us that turning a blind eye to this kind of thing thinking 'all is well' will only see far more serious widespread human rights abuses. One of these being the 'forced adoption' issue concerning mothers like Fran Lyon and Kerry Robertson; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1245190/Mother-clever-raise-child-baby-removed-social-workers-running-away.html
Comment on: UK producers get their share
Re; 'You can't spoon feed an audience what they don't want to see.' Except that if they are spoon fed long enough its the only thing they will eat. Big mainstream US studios who monopolise British multiplexes have as many flops that people dont want to see - infact they have hundreds every year, which the profits of the successes they do have, subsequenty cover - only they can recoup their costs because of their monopoly of the cinema and the broadcasting/television chain - (hence why you see so many American movies on British television) and also because; IN THE US THEY HAVE AN INDUSTRY PROTECTED AND PROMOTED BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. Its not possible to say that demand can be gauged for a film when there is no proper access to the market/media for that film. And you may as well discount the career of every mainstream director if you used the same criteria at the start of their film-making careers; people dont know them...etc An audience for film can be created if it is encouraged in the right way- it happened with music and cinema. By reverting to the same conditions British cinema once thrived in, i.e: Govt. protection for British film, cinema screens reserved for British films, sponsored advertising for British films on British television, etc, there would be employment and a thriving industry - as infact there once was. Being spoon fed by America is only an option for British people who lack awareness and pride in their own culture and identity.
Comment on: Hunting down film finance
You have mentioned 'indie films' but the films and industry model you have described is not really 'indie'. The true indie films like the 'Bad Lad' film above -which has received excellent reviews on the net- people would go and see if the UKFC were to properly publicise, market and distribute it on a national and international level in every multiplex they possible could. Come on UKFC pull your finger out. Michael Booth, John Williams have done their bit by making their film - as have other film-makers - but the UKFC does not properly distribute these films or actively cultivate an encouragement and audience for indigenous British films. If films are not distributed and exhibited then production money of course dries up - you cannot make money if you cannot access the market - and this is the real reason the above article evades - the actual monopoly of British cinema exhibition in Britain by the American film industry which keeps indigenous British films out of the picture. Micro/low budget could perfectly and profitably recoup their production costs ten times over were they not prevented from distributing films in the current closed-shop set-up. The question is that if the UKFC knows this, then why, in the interest of British film production why dont they do anything about it?

A chapter 13 bankruptcy is also called a wage earner's plan. It enables individuals with regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts. Under this chapter, debtors propose a repayment plan to make installments to creditors over three to five years. If the debtor's current monthly income is less than the applicable state median, the plan will be for three years unless the court approves a longer period "for cause." If the debtor's current monthly income is greater than the applicable state median, the plan generally must be for five years. In no case may a plan provide for payments over a period longer than five years. 11 U.S.C. §1322(d). During this time the law forbids creditors from starting or continuing collection efforts.

I researched this procedure quite a bit and only decided to do it after a lengthy consult with my doctor. He explained that he felt the original Coolscuplting machines that came out a few years ago didn't offer much in terms of results and only put one in his practice a few months ago after improvements had been made to the technology and better results from patients were reviewed. He said there is a "very tiny minority of people who are good candidates for this procedure."........and that most needed to either lose weight first or have liposuction instead.
I'm 42 years old, 5'10 1/2 and am an avid exerciser. Even when I was technically UNDERWEIGHT at 130 lbs., I still had a lower abdominal "pooch" --a result of an abdominal hysterectomy I had to have 10 years ago (never had children) -- and now that I'm a healthy 140 lbs., it's still there.
I fell into what he feels is the "tiny minority" and went ahead with getting it done. (They used the smallest abdominal applicator for me.) After reading many of the reviews here, I was certain that there would be SOME pain, but was pleasantly surprised at how painless it was for me. Sure, it's uncomfortable.....but nothing I would classify as PAIN. Maybe it's because it's a new machine? Not sure, but it's now Day 3 and I'm still fine. I can't tell I've had anything even done unless my cat stands on my abdomen (!) and then it's just a little sore... like a good ab workout.
I do still have some numbness in the area and it's a little swollen, but the doctor explained that was from having it compressed for an hour and should return to normal within a week or so. I took good pictures and measurements the night before the procedure and will post those with some progress shots when enough time has elapsed to see results, but for now, I'm really glad I had it done and am looking forward to seeing the results!

UKIP, idiots(38 Posts)
So the latest mess is that Bloom referred to women as 'sluts' , as a joke of course! Is it just me or does anyone else find it deeply depressing that it is seen as okay to refer to women as promiscuous etc and if you get offended by this you're seen as being too sensitive or a 'radical lesbian feminist'!
I am very scared about the ugly trend of women bashing that seems to be rearing its ugly head in recent times.
Re the tests etc, I've just remembered a bizarre argument with a police officer friend of mine. He was mouthing off about a female motorcycle officer who had to have a lighter bike bought for her because the standard bike was too heavy. He thought this was outragous, but couldn't really explain why, given that her performance on the lighter bike was equivalent to those on the heavier one. Her biggest problem was that she couldn't meet the standards that were arbitrarily set by stronger colleagues i.e. handle a heavier bike. Anyone would see that response time is the most important, yes? No. Because it was all about the cock power of handing a larger bike.
Same with the Army tests - what is the goal? And why is the goal set as it is? Covering x metres in x minutes...why not x+500 metres in x-5 minutes? Who sets the goal and why? Women do better in long distance, endurance events. Are these included? Sounds like a perfect "behind enemy lines" scenario. There have been enough films made about having to get back to a rendezvous that is some distance away, with no heavy kit encumbrances. Maybe there's no film potential when women get going, with minimal need for breaks and little engagement with the other side (because they are men and don't have the stamina .For fire officer tests, why fitness, rather than having fitting through small gaps as a test? Why not 10 tests relating to various physical necessities, rather than pass/fail on male physique orientated tests?
So many questions, sigh.
Did you see where Farage said something about being "thrown out of the Brownies" in relation to all of this?
Hopefully I will live long enough to see what the current 20something men are like when they are in their 50s/early 60s. Because that age group seem to have a particular brand of anti-women thinking, yet it's being going on for years, so I wonder whether it's entirely cultural ("from a different era", which I don't accept) or more resulting from their time of life and the realisations and disappointments that it brings.
'Anyway, I note that Mr Bloom sits on the European Parliament's women's rights and gender equality committee '
<head explodes>
Completely agree that the 'sluts' comment was the least offensive thing he's said over the last couple of months. He's just not very...... bright, is he? People who cling like limpets to gender stereotypes generally aren't very bright in my experience. Plenty of them about though
Glad it happened because of all the rotten publicity for UKIP. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch
NiceTabard - I'm not sure if they're officially classed as "combatant" - although the distinction is pretty fine TBH, they're still going out on patrols & coming home in body bags, can't get more combatant than that!
Will ask around & try to find out....
I was only talking about the Army, that's all I've got experience of - and I was definitely talking about the time when women were first amalgamated with the normal regiments (early 90's) - before that they were in a totally separate, non-combatant organisation (the Womens Royal Army Corps).
Yes, there was a rush to get the numbers of women up in certain roles, but although pragmatic, it actually made things harder for women later on as they were all tarred with the same brush as the early adopters who weren't up to the standards - many of whom had joined the WRAC, not the mainstream Army, and had no desire to play soldiers!
With regards to the weight - totally different to the Fire Brigade I would imagine - by the time everyone is carrying their own food, water, ammunition, weapon, clothing, assorted equipment, the weight is pretty high. Quite simply, if you couldn't carry your own kit, no-one else was going to, and there was no "fire engine" to put it on, you were often in the field for weeks at a time. A 5'2" man could carry less, but then wouldn't be fit for role, he'd either starve, freeze or run out of ammo!
All the military tests have been based on that, you can't really lower standards in that case.
Look at the kit the guys in the Falklands were carrying, how far they had to carry it & for how long. That was and is the basis of the Military - self sufficient for long periods of time.
Anyway, I'll stop blasting off at tangents - starting to sound like Peter bloody Snow now!!
What an epitaph eh. "Here lies Godfrey Bloom. Too offensive even for UKIP."
To be fair to him (though I'm not sure why one should bother), he's not the first person who felt an urgent wish to slap a journalist about the head with whatever came nearest to hand. But he shouldn't actually have done it.
Hmmm. Not sure comealongnicely's synopsis is actually what happened with regards the fire brigade. The tests have changed, that's true, but that's not entirely down to women being introduced. The height restriction was removed which has proved equally (if not more so) beneficial for men. A 5' 2" man was never required to lug around the same weight as a 6' 2" bloke. They were required to carry their own weight, so it was proportional.
I find the argument that women just aren't strong enough a bit weak tbh (no pun intended!). Women are not conditioned in the same way as men, for a start, to take pride in and use their strength. Although it is gradually changing, sport has never been marketed at women so that underlying fitness may not be there as it is with men. However, fitness and strength can be attained as shown in the military. But also this need for strength especially in jobs like the fire service is all a bit . What do men do when a job requires more strength than they have? They use equipment. They get help. Strange that. I don't understand why women can't do that. Again that is something that would be beneficial to men too. Less injuries for a start.
In addition there are plenty of jobs when at a fire that do not require strength. Stamina is probably required more than strength. And there is no real difference between the sexes there.
comingalong maybe the standards being different for women when they were first allowed in, was due to them needing to get women in to get numbers and forward momentum, and given that they were restricted in what they were allowed to do, it was deemed as being worthwhile? A sort of pragmatic move.
Interesting to learn that that the military never had any contraints in terms of height - I'm sure everyone remembers the rules for entry to the police (met?) being changed as the height requirement was deemed to discriminate against people from some ethnic groups.
That aside, this
arsehole man, talking about the army, was talking about now, wasn't he.
Aren't women in the forces in the UK allowed to fight on the front line / do all the stuff?
Basil - ^"Could this possibly be have been because the tasks were designed for the average male body to be able to do, but not for the average female body?
In other words, designing courses for men, rather than for people? That's what usually happened, with the police, fire brigade and other organisations that require physical fitness tests. Until people realised that designing tests that could more easily be passed by one half of people and not another, isn't actually as fair as they assumed."^
Actually, it was a case that the people that were being sent on the courses were not of the requisite fitness levels. There was such a rush "back in the day" to get women in these roles that all & sundry were sent on the training.
Most were simply not up to the standards, so the standards had to be lowered. Ironically there was/is no allowance for build, size, weight etc - so a 5'2" man would be expected to carry the same weight of equipment, and reach the same standards as a 6'2" man, whereas by your logic it there should almost be a chart to determine what level they should have to reach.
Real life, especially in the military, isn't like that.
When deployed in the field, everyone has to carry the same amount of kit, walk/run the same distance & live in the same conditions. They're carrying equipment to survive, rations and ammunition. If you can't carry it, then you're a liability - there is no room for someone that can't carry their own equipment.
As far as I'm aware, women in the military nowadays have to reach the same standards as the men - I think they fought hard for that right and, while they're still not officially in "combat" roles, they're doing a fucking fantastic job and are more than equal...
Unfortunately the fact remains (slowly getting back to the point) that Bloom was actually stating a fact in regards to this point...
He's still a wanker though...
The guy is a moron, he's lost his party's whip and hopefully all anyone will remember about UKIP is that Godfrey Bloom is a racist, misogynistic git.
"Women were regularly passing courses despite being physically unable to complete all the tasks, whereas male colleagues were failed for the same things."
Could this possibly be have been because the tasks were designed for the average male body to be able to do, but not for the average female body?
In other words, designing courses for men, rather than for people? That's what usually happened, with the police, fire brigade and other organisations that require physical fitness tests. Until people realised that designing tests that could more easily be passed by one half of people and not another, isn't actually as fair as they assumed.
It would have been so great to have been at that meeting and stood up and said "Mr Bloom, do you clean behind your fridge?" It's easy to guess what he would have answered, but it would be nice to force him to say it and remove any doubts.
What is really infuriating about the latest incident is all the hullabaloo and focus by the media on his use of the word 'sluts' (did he mean promiscuous, did he mean slovenly, blah blah). Although this is important, it totally detracts from the incredibly infuriating fact that an MEP can speak in a manner which shows that he expects most housework to be done by women and to suggest further that there is something wrong with those women who don't do enough housework. All the focus on the insulting word rather implies that if he hadn't used that word, if he had said 'shoddy workers' instead, then his views would be OK.
Sorry, but this was true in the early 90s -
"I saw it even years ago in the army. I saw for example on a squadron commanders' course, I saw ladies who frankly shouldn't have passed the course, passed because nobody had the bottle to fail a woman where they would have failed a man. So I think it goes in the other direction."
Women were regularly passing courses despite being physically unable to complete all the tasks, whereas male colleagues were failed for the same things.
It was addressed and sorted out & certainly isn't the situations nowadays. (Or shouldn't be).
Hey Mr Bloom Im willing to bet a radical lesbian feminist has a damn sight better chance of having an orgasm than your wife does!
People VOTE for this CUNT????????
Minutes of the committee.
And from Mr Bloom's blog (this is not written by him): "The gender relations FEMM committee is really a sideshow in the parl, no-one is really interested except the hard-faced hairy-chested Nordic Feminazis. They should be glad Godfrey goes at all, he gives them the oxygen of publicity."
The sluts remark was actually one of the less offensive things Godfrey Bloom has come out with.
Quite apart from the working women remarks, he's also on record as saying he used to go to brothels in Hong Kong, but it was fine because the girls chose to work there, and he was usually too drunk to perform anyway... And he tried to 'prove' he wasn't a misogynist a while back by putting photos of him posing with young women on his blog, labelled 'Godfrey and the girls' (the 'girls' don't get dignified with actual names).
Arf, Capt
There's some Youtube goodies of his 'best speeches' I've not watched them myself as I have had a tough week and I'd get the utter rage, but I bet they're utterly thrilling!

Natasha Luschwitz and Grant Willatt
Dalton Chapel, St Ignatius' College, Riverview
Stacking shelves in a local supermarket might have been mundane, but it was setting that sparked a strong and exciting relationship.
Natasha and Grant, who worked there part-time as students, share a love of exotic adventures.
"Some of our best times together have been spent travelling - France, Italy, Germany and Malaysia, to name a few places," Natasha says. "When we're not travelling we're usually undertaking some home renovations which we both love."
Being a building project manager, Grant loves exploring architecture in other places, while Natasha's self-confessed OCD can come in handy for planning their renovations and, "especially when we travel as our itineraries require military precision," Natasha says.
However not everything can be planned to perfect precision.
The biggest challenge the couple have faced was when Grant went to London for nine months to work in 2008.
"We had to put all our concerns aside to trust that we could make it through - and we did," Natasha says.
The proposal
By July 2011, they had been together for nearly ten years, but marriage was the last thing on Natasha's mind.
So she got a big shock when a lingering dinner date, whilst on holiday in Honolulu, turned into a proposal.
"Grant proposing was definitely a surprise," she says. "We were at a nice restaurant in Waikiki at the Ala Moana Hotel and the only odd thing about the dinner was that Grant tasted virtually every Port on the menu and had multiple coffees before I insisted that we couldn't drag the dinner out any longer. It was at this point that he proposed."
The engagement was also to come as a surprise to Natasha's family. Thinking it would never happen, Natasha's sister had made a deal with her six-year-old son that if Natasha got engaged she'd buy him a suit for his birthday.
But, it did happen and the timing couldn't have been better.
"It was her son's birthday right after we got back from getting engaged on holidays. We didn't say anything but simply presented my nephew with a suit for his birthday - my sister started crying with happiness," she recalls. "We then brought everyone in on the joke."
The wedding
The highlight of the wedding for the couple was seeing what a great time all their friends and family were having, and feeling the love and support of strangers.
"At the end of the night we chose to walk the hundred metres from our reception back to our hotel room. The walk took so long because strangers in the street kept stopping us to congratulate us - it was fantastic." Natasha says.
