NC with PIL for 10 years and now we've had a text...(109 Posts)
We were married for 10 years before DH decided enough was enough and were always walking on eggshells. It was so easy to cause offence. e.g. MIL called when DS1 was 3 days old to complain that the Mother's Day card we sent was too small and there were loads of similar things.
What usually happened was that they would go off in a sulk and after a few days I or DH would call, smooth things over and we'd be back to normal, until the next time.
10 years ago, after MIL was "devastated" because my mum organised something lovely for DH's birthday (mum really loves her SIL ) DH decided he'd had enough and we didn't make the usual call. Although there have been occasional (often not very nice) emails since he hasn't seen or spoken to them in 10 years. They haven't seen their GC since they were 2yo and 6mo.
Anyway this week he's had a text. Their Golden anniversary is coming up. Will we go, let them know so they can make the booking? No mention of what the celebration is. No idea if it's just us, immediate family or a huge celebration.
I've said to DH I'll do whatever he wants but that I don't think meeting up for the first time in 10 years, in front of loads of people who (presumably) know we haven't spoken for 10 years is a good idea. If he/they want to reconcile there must be better ways...
He has decided he doesn't want to go and doesn't want to see/speak to them so he's going to decline by text.
He wants to send a lengthy text about why it's a bad idea. I think it would be better just to say no thanks.
There are personality disorders which stem from genes rather than upbringing; mental health problems too. More and more is being discovered about how the brain works. I doubt very much that unconditional love from parents, or anyone else, would be able to counter something that due to genetics.
There are environmental factors too of course. An acrimonious divorce can result in one parent using the children to get at the other parent, which can result in parental alienation - and not always towards the NRP; sometimes it's the NRP who manages to alienate the children towards to the RP. Sometimes children reject the RP because the RP has been forced to allow contact against the wishes of the children, which the children cannot or do not forgive. There are almost as many possibilities as there are families.
If a child is born with a predisposition of some sort, which is then fanned and enabled by environmental factors which may be beyond the parents' control, then that can hardly be blamed on the parents; and yet that child may well grow up to thoroughly toxic.
There is research which shows that parental influence wanes tremendously as the child grows. Can you blame a parent when the things which are hurting their child are completely unknown to them, and the people who should know - a school for instance - do not know either? How many of us blamed the parents for what happened in that nursery a few years ago, where one of the employers was a paedophile? And yet, how do we know how those babies might be affected long term by that experience?
It is simplistic to say that children can only become toxic towards their own parent(s) because the parent(s) were lacking in some way. We're none of us perfect, after all.
OP, I think Springy was just trying to put the other side of the argument. I don't think she was criticising your or your dh particularly, just wanted to help you see all aspects of your options, before you made the final decision - and after all, with an important decision you do want to as much as you can about the subject, don't you? Most of us want to find out everything we can about something and listen to all povs before making a big decision.
Mind you, I see that it is no longer relevant anyway. And your dh was never keen on seeing them again either.
Op, it sounds as though you both did the right thing by going no further with this.
The key is in the message "tell EVERYONE......" Well it sums up exactly why they wanted to see you, so they could show EVERYONE else and parade you all!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
... and bearing the grudge <dryly> oh boy, some people should have mirrored lenses on the inside of their spectacles shouldn't they. Assuming they wear specs.
Meerka- playing the victims of course!
Life is too short to bear grudges. So ... er ... where were they the last ten years?
^^^^What Hissy said spot on.
Where's the effort in of couple of texts. Why not go round and ask if they can have a talk, see if anything could be done to resolve things. We love you and miss you and we are sorry its taken so long....
why has it taken them so long? Id be begging my ds if he refused to talk to me.
"Ok, we get the message, life's too short to bear grudges and everyone would love to see you but we won't bother you again"
i agree - there is nothing NICE about this message:
Ok, we get the message, = agressive
life's too short to bear grudges = "life's too short for YOU to bear grudges/Get over it already
everyone would love to see you = We need you to make us look good
we won't bother you again" - a pathetic attempt to guilt trip or scare DH into buckling.
Oh yes, not a single word of that message was in any way shape or form an olive branch.
If they had have written, 'Can we talk about this?' it would have been a whole different matter.
There is no contrition, there is no climbing down, only guilt, threats and aggression.
MIL will say "I love you" and then call to berate you because you don't love her enough because of some small slight.
This is pathetic. The whole thing of being jealous of her own children because they had things she didn't have is equally pathetic and whatever anyone's justification for bringing children into the world is, it should never be to compete with them, force your bitterness on to them for the way your life turned out, expect them to 'pay you back' for bringing them up etc...
OP and her DH are absolutely right to stay NC. Are people just glossing over the fact that because OP and her DH didn't ring these people over their latest unreasonable hissy fit, they didn't make contact for ten years? And let's make no mistake about it, it was they who made no contact. It was they who couldn't look at their action and say 'ok were we being a bit petty there? Are we not big enough to extend an olive branch'?
If people want to stay in contact with toxic immature people who place unreasonable expectations on them and did an overall crap job of parenting, that's a personal choice. But it's not for everyone and that choice can't be projected on everyone else.
OP see their action for what it is: an attempt to save face at a family event where they'll undoubtedly have to explain their ten years' radio silence (and that explanation will make them look like arses to any listener if they tell it truthfully).
Only if they come to you with an abject apology and a commitment to change, separately to any event that happens to be coming up, should you consider engaging with them... and even then, only one chance.
Obviously I would prefer never to have been in this situation because of the hurt it's caused DH and I would prefer my DC to know their GPs but I do find it an interesting study in human nature.
I find it interesting that some people feel that the people here who have difficult parents but stand by them regardless fit the FOG Attlia talks about perfectly (or so it seems to me)
I don't accept the generational thing. My parents are old and on the surface, to outsiders maybe look cold. e.g for my Dad to say he loves you there will need to be some really momentous event and I haven't had a hug from them since I was very young indeed. They were very strict parents. However their actual behaviour isn't cold at all. I have always known, even (especially?) as a rebellious teenager that there was nothing I would do that would stop them loving me and that they were thrilled with every little achievement. Not because they told me all the time but because of the way they were. They would drop everything if I needed them and expect nothing in return.
MIL will say "I love you" and then call to berate you because you don't love her enough because of some small slight.
Hi Attila... don't totally agree with your post! As I said, my parents weren't toxic... they were misguided, useless at parenting and being the stroppy mare I am, I didn't ever ever apologise... I stood my ground and they didn't freeze me out, they wouldn't dare. So my situation IS different to the OP's. It did cause me problems later in life, but hey... who's perfect here... none of us are. I just know how close I am to my DC's and that's all that matters and also am very aware that there are many MNers who went through far far worse than I did.
I just know they were a product of their generation... they both had a cold victorian upbringing and they knew no different. No excuse I know but that's how it was.
Do agree with your last para... when I had DC's I used their parenting as a reverse template. i.e. whatever they did... do the opposite! And it's worked!
Hi Roussette,
re your comment:-
"Perhaps the OP's inlaws are doing their best and they have had sleepless nights and the Golden Wedding is their olive branch and they are hoping against all hope that they can start again with a relationship with both of you"
No, I do not think that is the case at all particularly in light of their last text message to their son. Its always been their way or no way with the OPs ILs. Their text message is truly loaded with trying to further guilt LoveandLife's DH.
I think your late parents treated you appallingly throughout your life and thus failed you abjectly as both a child and adult. They put their own needs first and ignored yours. You tried to have a relationship with them and they never bothered to respond in kind. I bet you were always expected to apologise for supposedly "not measuring up".
No-one told you that you did not need their approval any more. You ended up going back for more of the same from them, that often happens too. Its not your fault they were this way inclined and still is not. Its not purely a generational issue to my mind either although familial dysfunctional relationships do seep down the generations.
Like many adults of such toxic parenting also you sought their approval (which they never fully gave) up until their own deaths. FOG (fear, obligation, guilt) is truly a powerful and damaging legacy left by such toxic people to their offspring.
You do not and would not treat your DC in the same manner as you were because you know what your late parents did was wrong and remains so.
That text is saying everyone would love to see you, not WE would love to see you. Also the bit about life is too short to bear grudges, that's them throwing it back at you (your DH) that it is him that is the problem.
Well done to your DH for leaving it at that.
Spring's post of 18.23 is very much like I think also. My parents were absolutely hopeless as parents, I also have the therapy bills also. I just gritted my teeth and carried on - they weren't out and out toxic after all.
Then they got very old and died and I was there for them right up until the end, and I am glad I was. I could not have lived with myself if I hadn't been. OK... it was hard, I was still trying to win their approval after all these years but I can hold my head up high and know I gave my relationship with them my all and when my mother was lying on her death bed, I held her and I somehow knew she loved me even though the parenting was crap.
None of us are perfect. Of course 10 years is far far too long but I would not have let it go on so long... I would have done anything, absolutely anything, to have some sort of relationship with my parents, albeit a superficial one. This comes from having DC's myself... I don't get it right, in fact I often get it wrong and who knows what will happen in the future, I just do my best.
Perhaps the OP's inlaws are doing their best and they have had sleepless nights and the Golden Wedding is their olive branch and they are hoping against all hope that they can start again with a relationship with both of you. Parents of a different generation don't sometimes have the tools to talk, engage and they don't know where to begin with apologising because they probably dont know what they are actually apologising for! My parents never apologised for anything, I just accepted they were incapable.
So that message proves it was all about putting on a good appearance for their party.
And now that you haven't asked how high when they said jump they've tried one last guilt trip disguised as a goodbye.
That message was designed to rile up your DH into replying in order to explain that it's not a grudge (on his part) and why it's been so long. Good on him for not rising to it.
There's no way they'll tell people why you aren't there, but that they "tried", they'd have to admit that you have been NC for ten years and that's bound to shock their guests so they'll just make up an excuse that you're away or something or the kids are poorly so you had to cancel last minute.
Goodness what unpleasant people they sound, trying to turn the blame back on your family.
Well, when DH turned his phone back on there was a message saying, "Ok, we get the message, life's too short to bear grudges and everyone would love to see you but we won't bother you again"
So of course now they can tell everyone they "tried" and we knocked them back but DH is happy(ish) with that, he just hopes they're true to their word.
To my mind they haven't tried at all, there was no attempt to actually engage, talk, apologise...
FWIW with whole child/parent debate I think the unconditional love thing is absolutely key. DH's parents very much believe their children owe them for the sacrifices they made when their children were small. They were hard up as young parents and are incredibly resentful about the fact that both their children have been relatively comfortable - mostly because they were 10 years older when they started a family. When we and SIL bought our current (detached!) houses MIL had proper meltdowns about how unfair her life had been compared to ours. To me, that's what you hope for your children, that their lives will be better/more successful/more comfortable than yours. In our case it is definitely this jealousy and resentfulness that has caused most of the issues.
That said, I am not at all complacent that it could never happen to us - we all just do our best as parents and hope for the best
Interesting debate. It has got me thinking about DH's brother; two people could not be more different in character, yet there is just two years difference in age, DH being older. This cannot just be explained by a difference in how they were brought up, because they were brought up in
what seems like the same way, by good, decent people I loved my in-laws . DH has an uncle and his characteristics match DH's brother. I found that very interesting when I finally met him.
Nature surely has at least equal weight to nurture.
What makes someone behave in a toxic manner to other people, family or other people otherwise?
I just don't buy into it. I believe very much in cause and effect, and I think there is always a reason why people are the way they are, and, like Attila, I think the biggest reason is the kind of parenting they had, and the family dynamics in general.
This isn't always obvious on the surface - parents might appear to be loving and caring to the outside world, they might think of themselves as being so, but there is always (in these cases) some darkness somewhere, some warp in the programme that governs the family dynamics. It is virtually always unconscious, the result of something from one or both parents' own upbringing which they have never challenged, often because it is well hidden and also because to do so is unspeakably painful.
To me, the evidence is in the outcome. If there is an (adult) child who is dysfunctional in some serious way, that is the proof that something was amiss with the parenting. That to me is the prompt for a parent to investigate their own family dynamics in depth and see where this dysfunction comes from. But that is the point at which most parents, IME, choose to blame the (adult) child instead, because it's an easier option.
There is a very deep vein of child-blaming that runs through the heart of our culture, IMO, and we are all susceptible to it; those of us whose lives have been significantly impacted by this tendency are inevitably the ones who have most motivation to challenge it and perhaps have to dig around in the dark, unpleasant truths that some others can conveniently hide from.
(As an aside: Recent scientific studies that I have heard of seem to show not only that environment plays a much bigger role than genetics in the development of personality, but that the kind of mothering you receive actually affects the physical development if the brain.)
Sorry OP I know this is turning into a bit of a thread derail. But I think one thing there is almost a consensus on is that parents who really loved their child would not have let things go for 10 whole fucking years and voluntarily missed out on so much of their DC's and DGC's lives.
And I think that's the main point for me. Why would any child who felt really, deeply, truly and unequivocally loved by their parent want to destroy that relationship, deprive themselves of that irreplaceable, deep nurturing? And even if somehow they did, wouldn't the parent who really, deeply, truly and unequivocally loved their child do anything and everything to restore it to them? Wouldn't that be the single most important thing in your life, bar none?
Because at the end if the day it's not really about good parenting as some kind of task that must be performed to a certain standard; it's just about love and devotion. If you are genuinely devoted to your child, I think they know, however much you may fuck up (and of course we all fuck up as parents, each and every one of us). I do find it really hard to believe that when the love is that strong, it will not find a way, or at least keep on trying and trying. And if it isn't that strong... It's not the child's fault.
I know mine isn't a widely held or very popular viewpoint. But there we go.
Complex indeed, meerka. I've raised 3 DCs, fairness is a big priority, I'm from a 'non toxic' family - but one of my (now adult) DCs is astonishingly self centred, to the extent that relationship with sibs is threatened - I'm sure s(he) would report feeling very hard done by, whereas the others would say it was because s(he) wasn't centre of attention. If s(he) flounces off NC one day, how far will I go in trying to find out what's wrong
without yielding to demand to be centre of attention? Meanwhile, I just try to listen, and support. Whether that is recognised/acknowledged, I don't know.
there are a lot of other influences. The stereotype of children who get in with the wrong gang and go wild, to the great sadness of their parents, is a stereotype becuase it does happen.
Incidents can happen to children that knock them off balance very badly that the parents never even hear about. No parent can protect a child against everything. Some risks happen and a few people get extremely unlucky - and the parents never even know why. I happen to have observed it and was unable to intervene. Im reluctant to give more details publically but may do so if pm'd. It is incredibly sad to think of the parents' unending pain but they were not at fault in any preventable way.
Lastly there seems a general consensus that people grow up due to both genes and environment and there is a notable interaction. There are some 'dandelion' children who survive no matter what without being ground down, or becoming toxic; to me it makes sense that there are a very very few who become toxic no matter how good a background they come from.
Also, although not studied in great detail there seems to be some indication that adopted children can manifest characteristics, including quite rare ones, of the biological parents similar to manifesting rare genetic physical conditonis.
Complex issue, really.
"Some children grow up to be toxic adults - and not necessarily because of childhood, or parenting, experiences".
What other influences then (and I personally think childhood influences from parents and to a lesser extent other family relations play a huge role here) would you also cite as being influential?. Where's any actual evidence for this beign so?.
"To cut off a parent entirely is a huge step and, at the risk of being accused of pumping the guilt, the agony of it for the parent can be immense"
Agony for the parent?. I more often than not read of much guilt on the part of the adult child for cutting off their relative, such people do not and never make such decisions lightly or on a whim.
I think that parents who are very difficult, PITA etc can also be seen as toxic parents. They are toxic precisely because they are difficult and some have untreated as well as untreatable mental health problems or personality disorders.
You would not tolerate such nonsense from any friend; family are truly no different. I think many people carry on with such dysfunctional relationships out of a combination of fear, obligation and guilt towards the parent. All that eats a person up inside.
My Nan was old but she was pretty much demanding all her adult life; great age is no free pass for making the many varied demands of my father like she did. He only saw her out of duty in her latter years and that stance did him no favours at all ultimately.
Blimey, misunderstood or what. My posts were fair and considered and I was just giving a perspective. I appreciate, from my own experience, that it's an extremely difficult subject - I've got through a fair few thousand of therapy bills to confirm that. My parents are very old - my perspective is largely from that, which I have made clear.
Some people/parents are out and out toxic and the only possible solution is to stop contact, which is as it should be. A lot of parents, though, don't fall into the category of out and out toxic; are perhaps very, very difficult, a major pita etc. To cut off a parent entirely is a huge step and, at the risk of being accused of pumping the guilt, the agony of it for the parent can be immense. I would like to be certain a cut-off parent is in fact out and out toxic before taking such a drastic step. Who isn't deeply offended by their family at some stage?
I honestly wonder if some of yous think your parenting has been so fabulous that it's not a possibility that your children may cut you off. Dear me, it doesn't always go like that.
Final point: Adults were children once. Some children grow up to be toxic adults - and not necessarily because of childhood, or parenting, experiences. When I referred to toxic 'children' I used apostrophes, meaning adult 'children'.
Bowing out.
Hissy, that's it. Anyone normal would want to know if they can try and resolve any problems.
With my inlaws we asked to meet and chat, they were so 'hurt' they refused to see us for nearly a year and that's after they sent us several very nasty emails (which we ignored). I cant say too much or Ill out myself but one IL didn't even know if they wanted to try and sort things- they were too hurt/how dare you etc etc.- How can they not want to TRY and resolve things so they can have a relationship with their only GC?! whilst we were trying to be open to sort things and discuss and do everything we could to sort things. What we got was "we don't think you'll be there for us if we got ill"....you reap what you sow
I could tell you all sort but I wont out myself though unlikely on here.
Some of us know springy's other story, and while it's not applicable in this instance, there are children who make their parents' lives difficult, and some who do flounce off without reason.
Thing is, a non-toxic parent, or human being for that matter would always want to know if there was something that could be done for things to be better.
As we know, not all parents are toxic, but also not all (adult) children aren't.
Springy meant well, however it came over.

"Get back here Daiyousei-killer!" The blue fairy shouted as I found several icicles flying past my head.
Turning my head back I saw that the fairy was flying after me. "What are you talking about? I couldn't kill anything if I tried!"
"I heard a rumour that a human was going to kill Daiyousei so you must be it!" The fairy swooped down and grabbed my leg before I shook her off.
"But didn't you-" My speech was interrupted when I fell to the floor. "What the?" Looking down my leg was covered in ice.
"I've got you now!" The fairy cheered, "Hey Daiyousei! Come and look what I caught!"
"W-what Cirno?" The timid fairy poked her head around the corner before seeing me. "Ah! Please don't kill me!"
"Believe me, the only one at risk of dying here, is myself. Since your friend is trying to kill me because of a rumour she made up." I groaned half-apologetically.
The smaller fairy walked up and looked at me, and then at Cirno. "Cirno, did you make that rumour up?"
"M-Maybe…" Cirno looked at the floor.
"Don't be cruel like you are to those frogs, let the human go." Daiyousei asked Cirno.
"Fine… But if you try and hurt either of us I'll freeze you solid!" Despite being half my size, she tried to look threatening.
I tried to get up but the lack of movement reminded me my leg was covered in ice. "Can't you do something about this?"
"No, just let it unfreeze, it works for the frogs." Cirno started talking as though she was an expert.
"Well, I hope you don't mind me sitting here for a while then because I can't do much else."
Daiyousei sat down, "It's ok, why are you here anyway? Not many humans come around here, especially with that mansion there." The fairy motioned to the red castle-like building I saw earlier.
"Well, I'd like to know that myself, I just woke up in some unfamiliar place one day and I can't remember anything so I'm just trying to find somewhere that triggers my memories." I reached into my pocket and took out the watch. Oh good, hopefully there'll be time for my leg to thaw.
"Wow, that's nice." Cirno poked the watch.
"Yeah, someone named Yuka gave it me."
Cirno raised her voice slightly, "I know! She's your wife right?!"
The next thing I knew I was laughing hysterically while Cirno looked at me looking amusing but obviously bewildered about what I was laughing at.
Calming down slightly, "No, no, I'd have been dead a long time ago if I was, Yuka's the one who found me when I first got here. She's over there in that flower field."
Looking worried Daiyousei quietly asked, "Is she that scary lady with the green hair?"
"Yeah… 'Scary', I can tell you've already met her."
"She beat up Cirno once!"
"Huh? She did?" Cirno sat there with a dumb expression, obviously trying to remember.
"When all those flowers were everywhere and then she made more which beat you up!" I couldn't help but think how odd that sounded.
Cirno stood up, "I didn't lose! I left because she was too easy!" I raised an eyebrow. "Cirno…"
"If you don't believe me, I'll go fight her now!" Cirno started to walk at the flower fields.
"Wait!" Daiyousei and myself shouted together.
"No! I won't stop until you believe me!"
"We… We do believe you!"
"Liar!" She's doomed.
After shaking my leg for a moment I was finally able to move it and stood up, grabbed Daiyousei and started to run after Cirno, but she was far ahead.
"Hey you meanie! Come and fight me!"
There was no response or sign of Yuka.
"Are you scared?!"
Yuka's head appeared over some flowers, "Go away." Before she disappeared again.
Cirno turned around with a look of rejection before spinning around again. "Fine! If you don't want to fight, I'll make you!"
Oh no.
Cirno began to freeze some of the flowers, causing a few to shatter. She's got a death wish.
Yuka appeared on the hill to the right of where she was previously, with an evil smile she walked down towards Cirno who seems frozen with fear. A moment later a second Yuka appeared to the left, and began walking to Cirno, though they looked the same, this Yuka looked slightly more insane, with a much more psychotic grin and slightly messier hair covering some of her face.
Uh oh.
With the two Yukas facing her, Cirno snapped out of her frozen state and shouted, "Fine, if you need two to beat me!" Cirno reached out of her pocket and pulled out a card and held it in the air. "Icicle Fall!"
Nothing happened for a few moments until rather large icicles bombarded the area around Cirno. Both Yukas merely laughed and held their parasols above them causing the icicles to shatter on impact. Wow, that's a good parasol.
After the icicles stopped the Yukas lowered their parasols so they faced Cirno. "My turn." Not wanting to take any chances I grabbed Daiyousei and dived to the ground just before two enormous lasers blasted over us.
After the lasers subsided I looked up to see a single Yuka walking back up the hill and a blackened Cirno lying on the floor.
"She lost again." Daiyousei walked over to Cirno.
"We… drew…" I heard Cirno say before she fell silent.
I was afraid to ask, "Is, is she dead?"
"No, she's sleeping, a few hours and she'll be back to herself." Wow, fairies are quite resilient.
"Do you want a hand taking her somewhere?" I asked feeling half-responsible.
"No, no, it's okay."
I looked at the pocket watch, "Oh, okay. Well, I think I has best go to Yuka now, might be worth making sure she's not doing anything."
"Okay, what's your name anyway?" Daiyousei asked as I was starting to leave.
"I don't know, like I said, I lost my memories."
"Oh… Well I'm Daiyousei and she's Cirno, come back sometime."
"I will, if I'm alive." I laughed nervously before walking to the flowers, "See you around."
Well, at least I had made some friends in this place.

Paper merchant PaperlinX says it expects to narrow its annual net loss this year, while trading in key markets remains weak.
PaperlinkX said on Friday it expected to make a net loss of $23 million to $30 million in 2010-11, an improvement on the prior year's $225 million loss.
Underlying earnings after tax were expected to be a loss of $7 million to $14 million, after adjusting for the impact of the foreign currency option and discontinued operations.
This compares to an underlying loss after tax of $28 million in 2009-10.
Possible implications for impairment valuations at June 30, 2011, would be considered, PaperlinX said in a statement.
"Trading and general economic conditions in our key European, United Kingdom and North American markets remain weak," the company said.
"Volumes are significantly below last year and below our expectations in Europe and the United Kingdom.
"Despite these market conditions the company is maintaining market share in Europe, the UK and North America and has implemented some price increases in these markets."
PaperlinX said the already depressed Australian print market was being further affected by the high Australian dollar and this coupled with the company's strategy of not pursuing riskier, lower margin business was impacting results in Australia.
"Although the company is continuing with its business restructuring program to remove costs and better align businesses to the new market conditions, there is an unavoidable time lag between implementation and benefits flowing through to financial performance," PaperlinX said.

Bridge Planned Between Egypt and Saudi Arabia
The project has been in the works since 1988, but was pu on hold 5 years ago by then-President Hosni Mubarak.
"For the Arabs, the massive construction project would be a triumph. For the first time since 1948, when the modern state of Israel was founded, Arab states in North Africa would have a direct road link with fellow Arab states in the Middle East without having to cross Israeli territory. It would also reduce dependence on sometimes perilous ferry crossings over the Red Sea and Arab ports on the Mediterranean.
Planners believe that tolls paid by millions of Muslim pilgrims on their way to holy sites in Saudi Arabia could make up for the roughly $5 billion (€3.6) the bridge is expected to cost. They also believe the bridge will significantly increase the number of pilgrims. "

'Krrish', the much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster 'Koi Mil Gaya', has delighted movie fans and marketers alike. The Hrithik Roshan-starrer has had a tremendous opening week nearly all over India and claims to be the first Indian superhero film as well as bringing film merchandise into the market.
The Indian film industry has had its fair share of movie marketing prior to the initiatives seen by Filmkraft, the producers of 'Krrish'. Some successful examples are those of 'Hum Tum', 'Rang De Basanti' and 'Fanaa'.
Rakesh Roshan, the director of 'Krrish', said, "I am happy with the kind of interest that various brands showed on 'Krrish', and it was largely due to this interest that I decided to go ahead with these tie-ups."
He further explained that while some of the partnerships had already rolled out, there were quite a few still in the pipeline. When asked about the effectiveness and impact of such initiatives on the film, Roshan said, "These make no difference to the film's performance at the Box Office, but it does provide for more visibility and publicity, which will benefit the film."
One player that has been associated with 'Krrish' from the word go is STAR India. The partnership with the movie was announced last year when it had just gone on the floor. The results were seen in STAR News getting much screen space in the movie, Hrithik Roshan making an appearance on various STAR shows like 'Laughter Challenge Dwitiya' on STAR One and 'Sabse Favourite Kaun' on STAR Gold. In addition to this, the STAR network will be holding the television premiere of 'Krrish'.
'Krrish' has also joined hands with Remit2india, a global online money transfer portal, as a media partner to woo its NRI fans. Another partner is Pantaloons Retail, which will manufacture and market merchandise like dolls, masks, key-chains, watches, T-shirts and school bags. And there are more. Said Roshan, "We are in talks with D'damas and a few other brands."
Filmkraft had successfully struck a deal with HPCL (Power), Pidilite (Acron Rangeela), ITC (John Players), and HLL (Lifebuoy). Besides these, Singapore Tourism is offering an exclusive 'Krrish' Singapore Tour that covers the locations where the film was shot.
Besides the marketing tie-ups, there are several in-film branding – Cadbury's Bournvita, Frito Lays and P&G's Tide, among others.
Looking at the larger picture, Indian current crop of filmmakers and marketers are waking up to the tremendous potential of movie marketing. Industry big wigs like Yashraj Films, K Sera Sera and UTV have been frontrunners in this. Yashraj Film's 'Hum Tum' seems to have set the ball rolling for marketers in India with innovative campaigns and ventures to promote the film.
These included making of videos with international singers, appearances of the film's actors in tele-serials, selling all kinds of paraphernalia as merchandise and even bringing out a comic strip based on the two characters 'Hum' and 'Tum'.
The trend continued with Yashraj Film's next release 'Dhoom', which was promoted through music videos of international singers (especially Tata Young) and appearances of the film's stars at shows on sports channels like STAR Sports and ESPN.
The recently released 'Fanaa' also saw similar merchandise being sold in the market. UTV's 'Rang de Basanti' tied up with Coca-Cola that saw special edition coke bottles being introduced in the market, which had logos and pictures of the film's cast adorning them. 'Taxi No. 9211', produced by Ramesh Sippy Films, had co-branding tie-ups with Yamaha Motors that saw several contests being organised at several parts of the country.

Has Whittlesey an active social community- i.e. village hall events etc?
I'm thinking go moving to Whittlesey but would like to know about village activities , dr's,dentists etc
Asked on Jun 16 2013, General in Blyth | Report content
Answers (1)
Hi Skippie92, I've had a look around and discovered that the village hall has its own community website which gives you links to a number of different services and events that take place there. I have added the url to the bottom of this question for you. As you will see from the site, it has all of the essential services such as a doctor's, a dentist and a post office. There is also a library and a small local museum. For times when you're looking to relax, the area is well known for its pubs, with many of them being highly rated. In terms of local events, there are things like the weekly market, which takes place on Fridays and lets you find unusual items that you might not discover in shops from day to day. Many thanks, Scott

Video Release: Is This Yours, by Sean Connaughty
This Weekend, Nov 18/19/20 Sean Connaughty's video, Is This Yours, will be screened at 15 different locations across the Twin Cities. See below for hours and locations.
And, please join us at 6:00pm, Saturday, November 19 for the twin-cities launch of the video, Is This Yours, by Sean Connaughty.

Multiple locations across the twin-cities will be airing the video at the same time, but if you want to meet the artist, come to Instinct.
Here is a bit about the piece: Litter in our city streets makes its way into our lakes, creeks and rivers. Rainstorms wash it into gutters and storm drains, where it is carried directly to our waters. The types of trash generated by human activity that frequently pollute our waterways include plastic bottles, snack wrappers, cellophane, styrofoam packaging, cigarette butts, paper, fast food containers, plastic grocery bags, cans, used diapers and condoms, hypodermic needles, and more. Tons of garbage from the streets flow into our Lakes and rivers at every rainfall.
Collectively we can stop the pollution that is choking our beautiful waterways. To learn more please visit us at the gallery!

Just came across an interesting post by Colin Bannon, CTO BT this morning. The infographic which he has shared compares and contrasts the Old or a more traditional operating model of IT with a new, evolving operating model of IT. While I have first-hand experienced this dramatic change through my recent roles in Digital Transformation in Retail and Financial Services, the infographic drives home the key transformation points really well. Gone are the days of traditional and conventional Pyramid of IT organisation hierarchy towers where the change is driven from the top IT leaders such as CIO, CTO and their teams. Instead now what we are witnessing is more decentralized, dynamic, agile change driven by smaller, more focused teams coming not just from IT but Operations, Finance, Marketing, Sales and even Business user communities.
I have experienced that such change is often driven by "here and now" market opportunities where the business can make immediate inroads to new opportunities or indeed react faster to emerging trends / threats. This model challenges the traditional waterfall model of doing things right from business case down to engineering and service release. I think a number of maturing trends have helped drive this; Agile, DevOps, Cloud Ecosystems, BYOD, Open Source, API platforms, Social Media and Mobility, all have helped fuel this trend. This is certainly not for faint-hearted and the pace of change is often breathtaking. But I have personally enjoyed my journey from a more traditional CTO to much more dynamic, agile and proactive CTO in the past three years. What this has meant for me is to find opportunities to make genuine difference to my business and enable them to grow past traditional IT operating model obstacles. Traditional IT Op Model is dead. Long live new IT!

text: I'm thinking of organizing a local chocolate tasting tour for friends. This was originally inspired by a tour through Fog City News (no longer offered). Any suggestions for places that must be included? Obvious choices are Scharffenberger and Charles Chocolates; also possibly XOX in SF. I'm thinking it could be a combination of chocolate makers and chocolate shops (e.g., Bittersweet). SF and East Bay only. As of now, I'm not sure if I'm going to limit this to places easily accessible by public transportation, or if I'll arrange for cars with drivers.

Here's a treat for those of you who have been following this Afghan Life series, which almost seems to be turning into an Afghan women series as well. Here's a video from an innovative idea – restaurants for women, by women. It is difficult for women to eat with the veil, and it can be difficult for women to eat out in general in a society given to the purdah.
But necessity being the mother of invention and all that, take a look:
Also, tell me that if you are a foodie, you weren't taking a good look at those interesting food preparations and wraps. 😛

Busty, tiny and cute, super sexy Lana Ivans, a Romanian babe SCORE discovered, is enjoying the splendor of the Caribbean. Dressed in a very skimpy two-piece that clings to her shapely body perfectly, Lana steps out of the beachside resort to gaze at the scenery when she smells food grilling. From where? Lana has to see what's cooking. While we follow her big tits as she walks down the stairs slowly in her high heels, Lana follows her nose to the pool area. She's on the scent and discovers Largo cooking sausage on the veranda by the pool. Largo gives Lana a taste of his grilled sausage but Lana wants the big weiner in his pants. She's gonna be cooking that thing real good. A big cock for a little girl. She eats it good and after Largo fucks her tight little hole, he gives her his hot sauce. What a good girl. We've yet to see a video with Lana that wasn't hotter than a taco sold at a Mexican lunch wagon. Everything she does is hot, even walking down a flight of stairs. How do you get a cooking job like this?

ExpressionEngine Add-ons we use on every install

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Top White House Ethics Lawyer Norman Eisen Reportedly Destined for Prague Ambassador Post
April 15, 2010 | The White House's top ethics lawyer, Norman Eisen, is reportedly being floated for consideration as the president's top diplomat in the Czech Republic. If Eisen is selected, he would join many of President Barack Obama's prior ambassador picks in having helped raise significant sums of campaign cash for the president and other Democrats.
Paul Kirk, Massachusetts' Interim U.S. Senator, Intimately Tied to Business, Lobbying and Democrats
September 24, 2009 | The U.S. Senate vacancy created by the death of liberal lion Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) is prompting another trip through the revolving door of political influence for longtime Kennedy ally Paul G. Kirk, Jr. Kirk was an aide to Kennedy from 1969 until 1977. He subsequently went on to join the law firm Sullivan & Worcester, where he has worked as a partner and lobbyist. Since 1989, he and his wife have also given $65,325 to Democratic candidates and committees.
Some Politicos Distance Themselves From Embattled Hassan Nemazee, But Not All. Yet.
August 26, 2009 | Embattled political financier Hassan Nemazee, who faces decades in prison after federal authorities arrested him for allegedly attempting to secure a fradulent loan from Citigroup, has donated money to 75 federal political candidates, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis indicates.
Auto Dealers Favor GOP With Campaign Cash
June 5, 2009 | With debate raging on the Internet about whether President Obama is targeting certain Chrysler dealerships for closure, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics took a closer look at the numbers behind the donations of all domestic automobile dealers and found they have a history of favoring Republicans with their contributions.
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Blagojevich Fundraiser Added to Obama, Biden, Jackson War Chests
January 26, 2009 | Although it's unclear to what extent businessman Raghuveer Nayak was involved in Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's alleged scheme to sell President Obama's Senate seat, what is clear is Nayak's commitment to funding the campaigns of the governor, the new president, the new vice president and others in Congress and the administration.
Races to Watch VII: Where Cash Has No Competition
October 2, 2008 | Like reading tea leaves, one way to predict how a congressional race is going to go is by looking at the disparity in fundraising between the candidates. So far this election cycle, 280 House and Senate incumbents on November's ballot have collected at least 10 times more than the opponent they face in the general election. In this installment of Races to Watch, Capital Eye looks into why some of these incumbents have been such successful fundraisers.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
While Other Pols Dump Tainted Donor's Money, Moran and Lieberman Hold Tight
September 16, 2008 | While other members of Congress rush to dump contributions from a California billionaire who has pleaded guilty in a massive stock fraud case, Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) say they plan to keep thousands of dollars they received from the man, Henry Samueli, according to Politico. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has found that Samueli and his wife, Susan, have given more than $250,000 to federal candidates and committees since the 2000 election cycle.
Brothers Grim: Is Lehman Next?
September 12, 2008 | Uncle Sam bailed out Freddie Mac and the company's twin sister, Fannie Mae, this week, and the next in line in the Wall Street family to get a helping hand might just be Lehman Brothers. Executives at the struggling investment bank are looking to sell the company with assistance from the government--and fast--as its stock plunges. Although the government isn't expected to completely bail out Lehman Brothers, the fourth-largest U.S. investment bank, the company has built a strong financial relationship with politicians over the years and coincidentally ranks fourth in the largest contributors in the race for the White House.

Store Policies
Mug Revolution uses a secure payment processor - Shopify.com. Payments are instantaneous, which means that we process your coffee mug order immediately. We also accept payment by check or money order through the mail. Please make checks payable to "Mug Revolution" and keep in mind that your order will be sent once we verify the funds. Include a note with your check indicating the mug quantity and color choice, as well as a way for us to contact you if we have any questions. To get the mailing address, please send a message using the contact page, and I will respond with the mailing address. Orders paid with a check or money order are subject to a waiting period until the funds have cleared. Oregon does not have a sales tax.
Shipping & Delivery
All U.S. orders ship via USPS (United States Post Office) using Priority Mail. Delivery times are normally 2-3 days. A confirmation e-mail with a USPS tracking number is e-mailed to the customer at the time the order is shipped. International orders also ship using USPS.
For international orders, you can choose Priority Mail International, or for orders of 1 or 2 mugs, First Class International. It is important to note that Priority Mail International is traceable using the tracking number, but First Class Mail International is only traceable to the point the package exited the United States using the Customs number that is associated with the shipping label.
Mug Revolution is not responsible for packages that do not arrive when shipped via First Class International. Use this service at your own risk. (For what it's worth, over the years I have sent out dozens and dozens of mugs using First Class International and only one of them did not get to it's destination.)
In the event that you report that your order did not arrive to you but the Post Office scan shows that the package was delivered, Mug Revolution will file an insurance claim on your behalf. If the Post Office approves the claim, the amount of the claim will be refunded back to you. This amount may or may not cover the entire price that you paid for your order. Single mugs are not insured; double mug boxes are insured for $25, and quadruple mug boxes are insured for $50 (all USD). The same policy applies if you have received a box that has been tampered with and some of the contents have been stolen. However, in all cases the Post Office must pay for the claim; if they do not, no refund will be given.
Mainstay Mugs and Signature Mugs may be returned, unused and undamaged, for a refund. Mug Revolution will refund 95% of the original amount paid for the mug(s). There is a 5% cost on the order total to cover the cost of the credit card processing fees as there are fees charged to Mug Revolution both when an order is placed and when an order is credited. Please return the item(s) within two weeks of receiving them. Mug Revolution is not responsible for your return shipping costs, and the refund given for the return will not include the original shipping cost of the mugs to you. (In other words, you are responsible for shipping costs to have the mug(s) delivered to you, and you are responsible for the return shipping costs to get the mug(s) delivered back to Mug Revolution. Should a return mug be damaged in transit no refund will be given. Please insure the contents of the box in the event your carrier damages the mug(s) in transit back to Mug Revolution.
Sorry, but no refunds on Mug Builder mugs or Custom Logo Mugs. In the event of a flaw in one of these types of mugs, Mug Revolution will remake the mug in the next available firing and send it to you at no cost. A photo of the mug in question is requested, and you may be asked to send the mug back for further inspection. If it is determined that there was a flaw in the manufacturing process, Mug Revolution will pay the cost of return shipping.
Shipping Damage
Please get in touch immediately using the contact page. Please do not discard the shipping boxes or broken or damaged mug(s) until your claim has been resolved. You will be asked in my response message to e-mail photos of the damages, which include images of the damage to the exterior of the packaging material. In the event that you do not provide photos of the damaged mug(s) and packaging materials, and make the shipping boxes available to the Post Office for inspection, (they will pick them up) you void the right to get product replacement on damaged shipments. Once I have the photos and have verified that the post office has begun processing the claim, (which includes the possibility that they will pick up the packaging materials for inspection) I will ship you replacement mugs right away if they are in stock, or as soon as I can re-make your order.
I know the above might sound like mugs break all the time in shipping. The reality, however, is that out of every 2000 or so mugs I ship every year, 4-5 are damaged in transit. I bet you'd like those as batting stats if you were a professional baseball player!
Canceling an Order
Should you decide to cancel an order, there is a $5.00 (USD) fee plus 5% of the order total (including shipping and handling fees as applicable). Please read the item descriptions before placing an order, and if necessary, contact us if you have any questions about ordering prior to placing your order. If you have ordered a custom mug and it is in production prior to your cancellation request, Mug Revolution will charge for the time and materials used for your mugs at the time your request was sent plus $5.00 (USD).
Delivery Dates
Custom mugs ship within 48 hours of the scheduled ship date. While I am almost always successful in getting mugs shipped out on or before the date that is scheduled when you place your order, please keep in mind that unforseen circumstances sometimes get in the way of plans. Inclement weather can affect when the kiln can be fired, illness can cause problems as Mug Revolution is a one person business, etc. etc. Rest assured that I do my best to get the orders out when I said I will - and thank you for your patience when I'm a bit late. Your awesome mug is worth the wait!
