Whether you have been invited for a phone interview, an interview at the Joint Meetings, or an on-campus interview, one can never be over-prepared. Carefully consider the questions listed below and how you would answer each question. It might be helpful to have a friend or colleague conduct a practice interview for you using these questions.
Questions asked by an interviewer:
While an exhaustive list of questions that could be presented to a candidate could never be compiled, below is a list of commonly asked questions.
Why are you interested in our school (possibly in comparison to where you have been)?
What is your ideal balance between teaching/research/service?
Can you describe your teaching style?
What is your typical classroom like?
What is something that you did in the classroom that didn't work as well as you might have liked? What did you learn from this? / How did you respond?
What are your strengths and weaknesses as a teacher?
How could you use your skills to improve their curriculum?
What classes are you willing/prepared to teach? Not willing?
How are you going to adjust to teaching lower level students?
Can you describe your research?
What are your future research goals?
Are there possibilities for undergraduate research in your area?
How do you plan to find a research community if you join our school?
What kinds of service you might be interested in?
What would be a good activity for our Math Club?
How will working at the institution help you improve/grow?
Questions asked to an interviewer:
One thing will undoubtedly occur during an interview – the candidate will be asked if they have any questions for the interviewers. One should always have questions about the job and the institution in general. Here is a list of possible questions.*
What is the typical teaching load (for a junior faculty member)? How many preps?
What courses might I teach in my first few years?
When are courses scheduled (days of week, times of day)?
What is the average class size?
What is a typical class size (max/min)?
What is the population in the upper level courses? Are they mostly math majors? What is the breakdown of majors/non-majors? What about in lower level major courses?
Is the school open to different styles of teaching?
Would I get to teach upper level math courses? What is considered "upper level" at your school?
Will I have the opportunity to design my own class?
What is the teaching load? What does that mean in terms of number of classes?
How many office hours are faculty expected to have? Will I be expected to be on campus/in my office every day?
Will I be able to/expected to teach courses in the summer?
What is the service requirement for junior faculty?
What are research expectations for tenure?
How do current faculty find their research communities?
Are current faculty active in research?
What resources are in place to help me keep my research going?
Do faculty have travel funding?
Are there summer funds available?
Are there opportunities/expectations to work with undergraduates on thesis/research projects?
Is it possible to get course releases for junior faculty?
Are there opportunities to interact and possibly collaborate with faculty in other departments or with faculty in nearby schools?
Do pedagogical articles count toward scholarly research? (Or articles co-authored with students?)
What is included in your definition of scholarship?
What are your daily schedules like?
What is this region like? Where do faculty live?
Are living expenses in line with salary? Is there on-campus housing for faculty?
How are the local school systems/districts? (for your own family needs)
Is there a daycare on campus?
Can you describe a typical student at your school?
What technology/programs are available to me? For the students? In labs? In classrooms?
Do you have an active math club?
Are the department faculty involved in the local MAA/AMS sections?
Where do your undergraduates go from here?
Do faculty typically remain in the department? Have you had a lot of turnover?
Has anyone in your department been denied tenure?
What is your tenure process like? What sort of pre-tenure evaluation process is in place?
Is there a publication quota for tenure?
How do faculty use their sabbaticals? When are you eligible? How long are they? Do people usually get them when they are eligible?
What are your expectations for grants?
What do you like most about working here?
The above lists give you an idea of what might be asked of you. The lists also give you an idea about what to ask those individuals interviewing you. Clearly you would never ask a single individual all of the above questions. Be mindful of the scheduled length of the interview and compile a list of questions compatible with that time frame. You will have more time to ask questions on an on-campus interview than you will have in a phone interview or an interview at the Joint Meetings.
There is a great deal of advice about interviewing on the internet and through other venues. Be prepared. Be as relaxed as possible. Be professional. Learn as much as you can about your potential position and place of employment. Your new job could be right around the corner!
*These questions were compiled at the 2012 Career Mentoring Workshop for Women in the Mathematical Sciences (CaMeW) where the author served as co-director.
Negotiation following a job offer is often an enigma. Do you negotiate? If you do negotiate, what do you negotiate for? Salary might be the first thing that jumps to mind when negotiating but there are other factors to consider as well.
Consider the following. You have completed your on-campus interviews and you are now on the phone with a college official who offers you a job. What do you do first? After an initial moment of joy, you ask the official for the details of their offer. You are then given a time interval to consider the package. Always take the time to consider the offer – never accept during the initial phone call! With the offer in hand, how do you determine whether it is fair? Should you ask to add anything to the offer? These are questions we will now address.
Is the proposed salary fair? To answer this question, you can consult published salary information. The American Mathematical Society (AMS) annually publishes a report on salaries in the mathematical sciences. Here is the link for the 2011-12 data on average salaries by faculty rank and type of institution http://www.ams.org/notices/201203/rtx120300410p.pdf. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) publishes an Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, which gives average salaries across all disciplines. You may look up average salaries at most colleges and universities in the appendices of this document. See http://www.aaup.org/reports-publications/2011-12salarysurvey for links to this information. These publications give you valuable information about what is typically offered an individual with your qualifications and rank.
The published information listed above will help you to evaluate your offer. If your offer seems low, you have data to support your request for a higher salary. Additionally, if you have multiple job offers, you could use that information to support your a salary request. Finally, you could simply ask for a higher salary. The institution could decline your request, but they will not rescind your job offer.
In current economic times, it is possible that the institution cannot offer you a higher salary. However, there are numerous other things that one can negotiate when accepting an academic position. These include
Extra time to consider the offer
Travel funding
Course release
Computer resources (software and hardware)
Start up funds
Summer funding
Credit for previous experience on your tenure clock
Funding for Project NExT or similar organization
Library funds
Deferment of your official start date at the university
Moving expenses
As you consider an offer, decide what is most important to you. Determine what will make you happy and prosperous in your new job and ask for it! You might have to be flexible, but most institutions will work with you. In the end, the institution wants you to have a successful career with them.
The Joint Committee on Employment Opportunities runs a help desk at the Joint Mathematics Meetings each January, this year in San Diego. We'll be there next week 10-5 on Wednesday and Friday, January 9 and 11, 2013. We help with the big and the small, from looking at resumes, doing mock interviews, and discussing likely questions to checking over your attire to be sure your hair is in place and your garments not suddenly askew.
Speaking of questions, some likely ones are:
Can you describe your research? Be able to give a brief description.
What resources would you need to continue your research program?
What background would students need to be able to do research with you?
Which courses that we offer are you able to teach?
Is there anything you can't teach?
Given the opportunity, is there a course that you would develop for our program? What would be the required prerequisites?
Broader Impact:
Are you involved in or interested in any outreach?
Do you have experience with students from diverse backgrounds?
And the big two:
Why us?
Do you have any questions for us?
Please note that it is not proper to bring up salary and benefits at an initial interview. You should be selling yourself in what you can do for them and not trying to find out what they will do for you. Be sure to be specific to the school or industry to which you are talking and not answering in generic terms.
May everyone's job search be successful.
Summer has past, fall is upon us, and it's time for another job search season. This is the perfect time to sit down with your adviser and honestly discuss the types of jobs you want to pursue and how to be successful in your search.
What type of job are you interested in?
For example, if you want an academic position, are you primarily pursuing teaching, research, or a combination of both? This is important for your adviser to know. His or her letter of recommendation will play an important role in your application, sometimes conveying subtle information. A letter with two pages on your research program, followed by a cursory sentence stating you are collegial and good in the classroom sends a certain message, as does the reverse. Your adviser may not know your teaching first-hand, but should know your interests.
Letters of recommendation
Many candidates include letters of support from senior members at an outside institution. It can be difficult to know all of the respectable names in your field, and who is willing to write for you just from reading your work and vitae. Talk to your adviser for suggestions. Also ask about timing, as you want as many results as possible to highlight, but should give reviewers ample time before any deadlines.
The mechanics of the process
How many jobs should you target? What do you include in a teaching statement? What is the proper length for a research statement? Just how many letters do you need? Which recommendations are a must? Your adviser has likely seen materials from past students or applicants. He or she also has more experience with c.v.'s and can help you spot missing or extraneous information. If your adviser is fairly new, or less familiar with the particulars of the type of job you are seeking, it may be helpful to also ask another person for additional advice, but your adviser will still have much to offer.
We here at On the Market are here to help, but remember that your adviser has been through this – and successfully, too!
Sharon GArthwaite
No really, I do want this job…
Show them you really want the job. That's the title of a recent advice column by David D. Perlmutter in the Chronicle of Higher education. (http://chronicle.com/article/Show-Them-You-Really-Want-the/132281) In this economy, your response might be, "Isn't it obvious?" The truth is there are signals you send to potential academic employers indicating if you really want this job, or just any job, and no one wants to hire a candidate who feels they belong elsewhere.
Dr. Perlmutter offers great advice about tailoring your application and interview for all job seekers. For mathematicians seeking employment in academia, there are a few particular places in the job application process where you can show your interest.
The cover letter:
Most candidates will use the cover letter to highlight their research, teaching experiences, and awards. You can also use the cover letter to explain why you a good fit for the department, such as your ability to lead undergraduate research. Additionally, you can demonstrate that you are a good fit for the location if you have family within driving distance or a hobby, like camping, worth mentioning. (This can be a concern for schools in certain geographic locations, like rural towns.) Don't be overzealous in forcing a connection. It's a good idea to learn more about a school through their website, but gushing about a particular aspect, such as a student club, that in actuality has been dormant for years just draws attention to the fact you are unfamiliar with the school.
Email contact:
Generally speaking, it is unnecessary and in fact ill-advised to contact a faculty member at every school you apply to. There are some cases, though, where it makes sense. If you know someone in the department, such as a connection at a recent conference, then it doesn't hurt to alert them to your application. If there is someone who would be interested in your work (and you can explain why – not just someone listed in your area on the webpage), then it may be appropriate to contact them. Additionally, if you are starting to receive offers for interviews, consider contacting your top 5-10 schools for an update on your status.
Phone/JMM interview
Perhaps the best way to show your interest is to ask questions. What do you already know about the department? Demonstrate this knowledge, while learning more about the specifics. Are you familiar with a peer school? This may also be a good starting point for questions.
Campus Interview
A University will generally invite three candidates to campus for each open position. From a department standpoint, there is a good chance that these candidates have other interviews, meaning competing offers. If the first choice candidate waits two weeks to respond, and then declines, the other two candidates may already have accepted offers elsewhere, and it may be too late to invite others from the short list. In this case, if all three candidates are equally qualified and all good fits, then enthusiasm for the position can make the difference. You will meet a lot of people during the campus interview, and they all should be assured that you want to be their colleague.
Another academic year is over, and summer is here. This is the perfect time to study for quals, read papers on the arXiv, and contemplate your future. Aiming for academia? Intending Industry? Guessing you'll do government work? Now is the time to really think about what you want to do with your hard earned degree.
For many of us, graduate school can seem like we're stuck in suspended animation. We watch friends enter the real world: building careers, buying homes, and starting families. In the meantime, we pursue our love of mathematics. We spend day after day correcting calculus quizzes. We spend week after week forcing Matlab to compile. We spend month after month diagram chasing. After years of mastering these tasks, we earn our degrees and now enter the real world ourselves, or rather enter the job market.
Before spending that last year in graduate school writing the perfect cover letter and practicing the perfect job talk, why not take a moment to think about what you value in life? What do you want foremost from your career?
Is it financial security?
The AMS annually publishes statistics on starting salaries for new Ph.D's entering academia, government, and business and industry. The AMS also publishes more detailed data for academia by type of institution. Check out last year's report at:
For a more long term picture of academia, the Chronicles of Higher Education annually publishes median salaries by academic rank at most institutions:
Is it location?
Start looking at the universities, companies, and government organizations in the places where you want to settle. Be open to all possibilities, and be realistic about your chances of landing each position. You may be more than qualified to work at every institution in the area but will be competing with a large pool of equally qualified applicants. Are there particular classes you can take or skills that you can develop to strengthen you application? Do you know someone, or know someone who knows someone, who can help you network before you apply? Don't be afraid to mention geographical connections in your cover letter.
Is it scholarship?
Academic positions usually mean some balance of research, teaching, and committee work. You choose your own scholarship, but are expected to produce quality results. Publish or perish, as they say. As a graduate student, it can be difficult to know the expectations at different types of institutes, and the resources available at each. For example, smaller schools may expect fewer papers per year, but may also have no colleagues you can collaborate with, and limited travel funding to find some. If you have an opportunity to attend conferences as a student, use down time to chat with participants about their institutions. If you don't, keep in contact with fellow graduate students who finish before you, and ask about their experiences.
Also remember that research groups, businesses, and government agencies can offer interesting and fulfilling problems with real world application; the catch is that you may not pick which ones you work on.
Is it the students?
Institutions granting Ph.D.'s or Masters degrees offer the opportunity to mentor graduate students and/or postdocs. You can help a new mathematician launch his or her career, and further your own scholarship in the process. You might teach graduate level courses in your specialty, which can also help you strengthen your knowledge. Don't forget there are undergraduates here too, and undergraduate research is very in.
Institutions without such degrees shift the focus to undergraduates. Many have smaller class sizes, meaning you can get to know your students well. Some also offer unique teaching opportunities or activities with student organizations. Small schools can often focus their mission. Some schools court high achieving students ready to dive into undergraduate research; some schools specialize in offering opportunities for under-represented groups, such as first generation college students; some schools attract students interested in community outreach.
Navigating the job market can be an overwhelming task. It can help to first sit down and really think about what you are looking for in a career. What is an absolute must? When are you willing to be flexible? What skills can you cultivate now to make you more competitive? Who do you know who can help you in the process?
Good luck.
The following is contributed by Sharon Garthwaite, another member of the Joint Committee on Employment Opportunities.
Congratulations! You've been invited for an on campus interview at an academic institution. This is both an exciting and terrifying prospect, as this is now your chance to show the department in person what makes you a top candidate. So just who is going to determine whether or not you are a good fit? Here is a list of people you might meet during a campus interview. Note that the specific subset varies depending on the type of institute and position. Most importantly, note that every single person on this list may have a say in the decision to make you an offer, whether it be passing along comments, a direct vote, or a veto. Every interaction you have from the moment you arrive on campus (or even meet a representative at the airport) to the moment you leave is part of the interview.
This includes the Dean, the Provost, and the President, or representatives from their offices. They will be interested in your background, your research, your teaching philosophy, your ability to contribute to campus life, and your general collegiality. Be prepared to describe your research to someone who is knowledgeable and from an academic background, but possibly not in your area or even in mathematics. Also be prepared to explain why you think you are a good fit for the students, and why you are interested in this particular campus. You may be asked about the resources you would need to continue your scholarship. Additionally, you may be asked if there are any obstacles to you taking the position should an offer be made. You can decide how comfortable you are discussing issues such as a two body problem. Keep in mind that these are the offices that will ultimately address some of these obstacles during negotiations should you receive an offer. They will also discuss you with the department, so assume these concerns will be passed along unless explicitly stated.
The Chair of the Department:
The chair may explain the timeline of the search, such as when he or she expects to make the first offer, how long you have to consider it. If you choose, you may share information about other interviews or offers that you have, especially if you have a deadline looming. You can choose to discuss any obstacles, such as a two body problem. You may choose not to if you feel that it will affect your chances of an offer; on the other hand, if you mention it when an offer is made, it may be difficult to find a solution during the short window you have to accept or decline the offer.
At some institutes it is the chair that determines starting salary, whereas at others this is determined by administration. The same is true of other resources, such as a start-up fund for research and travel.
Faculty in the Department:
You may meet every tenure or tenure-track member, depending on the size of the department. Some meetings take place one-on-one. Additional meetings may take place in small groups during seemingly informal interactions, such as dinner. (Remember that any interaction, including meals, is part of the interview.) Some members are interested in your teaching and general collegiality. Others want to talk to you specifically about your research or collaboration potential. This is your chance to get know your potential colleagues and gauge their particular balance of teaching, research, and committee work. This is also your opportunity to ask newer members of the department about the resources they have found usual at the university while assuming their new role. Many candidates will choose to research members of the department ahead of time, such as visiting department web pages to learn names and research interests. Keep in mind that many faculty members will do the same research about you prior to your visit, and easily stumble across personal pages, such as Facebook, twitter, blogs, and even comments on other people's blogs.
You may be asked to give a research colloquium. If so, remember that most, if not all, of your audience are not specialists in your field. A good rule of thumb is that the first 15 minutes should be accessible to a first year graduate student, then next 15 minutes to any professional mathematician in any field, and only the last 20 minutes for people in your field. Be sure to practice your talk at your home institution and incorporate feedback before you go to your first interview and to revise your talk from the reactions before the next interview.
Faculty outside of the department:
Some universities may include a faculty member outside of the department on the hiring committee. This might be because your position has an aspect that ties to another department. For example, the department may be hiring an applied mathematician to teach classes aimed at biology students. This could also be because the university mandates it for all searches. If you do have such a meeting, this person can offer a different perspective on the department with which you are interviewing, and a look into how other departments on campus view it.
Some department may arrange for you to meet with a small group of students or have students lead the campus tour. This is your chance to see what the students at the institution are like. It is also their chance to learn who you are, what you research, and your teaching interests. The students may give feedback to the department, including whether or not they would sign up for your class next Fall. There may also be more formal interactions with students, such as teaching a sample class or presenting a colloquium.
Support staff:
These might be very brief, such as an academic assistant escorting you to an administrative office. Keep in mind that these staff members may report to the hiring committee on your personality and level of collegiality.
Human Resources:
You might meet a member of HR to discuss benefits and policies, such as maternity leave. Some schools may do this through other means, such as during the meeting with the Dean or the chair.
Real Estate Agents:
Some schools schedule an appointment with a real estate agent so that you can gain a better sense of the realities of moving to take the position, such as the housing costs and availability in the area, school districts, and shopping. Some schools may opt to have a faculty member take you on a tour of the surrounding area. Members may also ask you about personal interests, such as hiking, to highlight what the area has to offer. Some schools may be trying to determine if you are not only a good fit for the position, but also a good fit for the area, meaning if you would be content living in the location and climate where the school is located.
So many people in such a short time! Remember, every interaction is part of the interview. Also remember that interactions are not one way: this is your chance to learn as much as about these people, the position, the school, and the surrounding area as they learn about you.
The 2012 Employment Center was held at the Hynes Convention Center during the Joint Mathematics Meetings. Just over 100 employers and 800 applicants participated in the three and one-half days of interviews. These numbers are similar to the previous year's ratio. Most interviews were arranged in advance by the employing institutions through Employment Center software or private arrangement. Computers onsite provided access to the system and to email.
An applicant waiting area offered a quiet place to wait for the next interview to begin. Employers also utilized their own private lounge area with internet and printer access. While many job candidates
were hoping that more employers would be present, all in all, those participating found it to be a quiet and centrally located setting to hold interviews.
New this year, Employment Center information was accessed through the Mathjobs.org accounts. In addition to requesting and scheduling interviews, employers and applicants had access to materials (if requested or made available) uploaded to Mathjobs.org. An EC icon made it easy for both employers and applicants to recognize Employment Center participants. Reactions to combining the Employment Center with Mathjobs.org were positive, and many noticed that the tension level throughout the area seemed diminished.
Registration for the Employment Center at the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) 4-7 January 2012 is now open. The link to the instructions is
This is a great place to interview for jobs, mostly academic but some industrial and governmental ones as well. Follow the instructions carefully and put your best self out there. There are good suggestions on the instruction page but I want to highlight one and expand on another.
The Joint Committee on Employment Opportunities (JCEO), which sponsors this blog, staffs tables outside the interview area for people to come get help. We answer questions on interviewing, conduct mock interviews, do last minute checks of dress, and even straighten ties. There is a sign-up sheet at the table to reserve time, recommended for mock interviews, but also deal with walk-ins on a time available basis. You don't have to be registered with the Employment Center to talk with us. I encourage you to take advantage of our help.
My expansion is in the area of dress for interviews. The basic principle is that you want the interviewer(s) to pay attention to what you bring to the job and not your appearance. Also, you want to be as comfortable and confident that what you are wearing is correct so that you don't focus on what you are wearing. Men, a dark suit, dark shoes (NO SNEAKERS ) and socks, shirt and tie that coordinate is all you need. Women, as usual we have more options as well as more to think about. A business suit, skirt or pants, is great. The skirt should be long enough that you can sit comfortably and not be conspicuous in its shortness. Blouses should not show any decolletage, not only when seen straight on, but also when someone tall looks down at you. Flats or low to medium heels are recommended as you will need to walk a lot. Since your looks are not the desired focus, jewelry should be discrete.
See you at the JMM.

Auctioned as part of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening event, the image titled Silver Liz has sold to an anonymous bidder for around 10 million dollars.
A rare portrait of screen icon Dame Elizabeth Taylor by Andy Warhol has fetched a massive $10 million at auction. The artwork, titled Silver Liz, was painted in 1963 and has been kept hidden away in a private collection for the last 20 years.
Warhol's masterpiece went under the hammer at Christie's auction house in London on Wednesday, June 30 as part of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Auction, and sold to an anonymous bidder for $10,141,875.
Andy Warhol, who died in 1987 after a routine gallbladder surgery, has painted other famous names such as Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Elvis Presley, Troy Donahue, Muhammad Ali and Marilyn Monroe among others. He has also painted for iconic brands like Campbell's soup and Coca Cola.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I'm trying not too lose hope. Right now we aren't considered being in a "relationship" as in it is not titled anymore, but we do not see other people. I feel as if he is the one. I don't connect on a level with anyone else that I do with him, he makes me feel as if everything will be okay. I was suicidal at the time he asked me to marry him. I'm no longer at there. I don't want to fall back into that. I have a tendency to push people away who are closest to me. I can see that he is hurting and that he doesn't trust me. We've had arguments like this before but it was when we were together (with a title). Right now I feel lost and empty. There was a month where we didn't talk and he was seeing another girl. This upset and hurt me, yet I forgive him for it, he can't see that I love him and don't care about his mistakes. I want us to move forward together, he literally is my everything. I haven't heard much from him since Monday, apart from him saying he is better off without me. Part of me believes that maybe he is, yet a massive part of me knows, that no one else will ever love him the way I do or vice versa.
I understand, I do. I know that he can't make me 100% happy, but it is pretty close :)
Yes, I can control his actions or his emotions, and he isn't the biggest or best communicator either. Which does frustrate me, as I push him away when I need him closer. Which is my downfall and I need to learn not to do this. We have had an argument like this before, and it took roughly a week of not talking before we spoke about it. I over analyse things dramatically and read into everything way to much. Which I guess is never a good thing. He still wears necklace I bought him and still lets me do things for him, I just feel as if my mistakes are being tallied up against me...he has stated before that he doesn't trust me right now, so trying to rebuild trust then having a massive fight puts it all back to square one.
Thank you. I find it hard to open up to him, as I'm afraid he will 'judge' me or leave like he did once before. As yes, on some level we are, we aren't seeing anyone else, and still in same house and same bed. I need help on not pushing him away, and to not be so scared to tell him important things, or how I'm feeling or how he makes me feel. I can tell him positive things that he does for me, but find it hard when he's upsetting me or hurting me, I tend to "fly off" at him, or just walk away-which makes things worse. I've always been told to "grow up and get over it" and that's why I push him away. I figure if my parents tell me that why would he care kinda thing - i know not healthy, but I don't know how to change that.
Okay. Unfortunately, our biggest down fall is that we are both as stubborn as each other. He has stated before that he wants me to hurt as much as he is...it's petty I know, and yet, he also knows that I wont go anywhere. He gets back from being away for work on Friday. A few text messages have been exchanged but not been the friendliest of messages. No name calling on my part, but on his yes. I've come to realise that he tends to hold a grudge a lot longer than what I do. Which in turn I seem to "nag" more.
Wasn't that long ago that he wanted to marry me, I'm hoping that, that hasn't completely gone away, and that it still all means something..
I don't want it to be a me vs him, I want it to be an us vs the world kinda thing. I feel as if every time I suggest us moving forward together I get the same response "riteo, or too late" and then we act like a couple, and it doesn't get brought up again until an argument comes up.
I told him I loved him couple weeks ago, and he replied with "don't tell me you love me" yet when I see him, it's all "normalish" again.
When I ask questions, he tells me it "doesn't matter" or its "oh well". This frustrates me as it does matter and it's not oh well. These are the things I used to say, and it would annoy hell out of him. Especially when I was in my whole (world would be better off without me, I'm a burden on people).
It's as if he is in a rut, and I can't help him out of it. I tell him how I feel, and how he matters not only to me but to others, and he says he knows he matters, but he doesn't believe the positive words that I say. He says he doesn't know that I love him and that actions speak louder than words. Yet, he's admit that his pain (if he hurts himself) or when he's sick it doesn't matter. That no one really cares.
I've come to realize that I'm afraid to do anything in case it makes him crabby, as I don't want an argument. I do the usual, pack his bag for him for when he goes away for work, washing, making sure he has enough pain killers as he has neck issues, that he has his medication, things that a necessary but also something that stresses him out. He hate's money being spent on him as he thinks that people are trying to "buy their way in"
Thank you. Me walking on egg shells and going quiet is making it worse isn't it?
I find it hard to be sure of my self and believing that I'm doing right thing for me and him. I tend to take things to personally, and seriously instead of as a joke, when he means it as a joke. I just retract into a shell and try and hide...
Admitting anything to him seems to be my hardest thing. I seem to be able to say it to anyone else, but him, all because I'm afraid to hurt him, yet, all it does is hurt him more.
So all in all, we need to 1. get back on speaking terms, 2. communicate better, and I actually need to make him believe that I do care and I do love him, and that he matters? And I need to stop over analyzing things....
I can't and wont give up on him, I just hope that it still all matters to him...
I don't want to push him away, so I know it's going to take "baby steps" I have to learn to be patient, I'm just not exactly the most patient person around....
Yea, I'd go to end of the earth for him. Without a doubt, I'd do anything and everything I could for him. I know in heart and within myself that he's the one I want to be with for rest of life. Just hope that it's not all lost...
Thank you so much for helping me see that we can be okay, it's just going to take time. Right now I feel lost and not sure as to what to do. I'm hurting and I hate that I've hurt him so much. He's always loved me, and now it feels like he doesn't. I'm finding it hard to focus on the positives that are happening, all I can think of is that he asked me to marry him, and I couldn't say yes right then, then he gave up. I feel like i've failed him

WE bring you everything you need to know about The Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and All Blacks at Ellis Park.
WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN: Springboks v All Blacks, Ellis Park, Johannesburg, 1am (AEST) Sunday
FORM GUIDE: Springboks WLWWW, All Blacks WWWWW
MATCH ODDS: (sportingbet.com.au) South Africa $1.97, New Zealand $1.85 (correct as at 5pm 3/10)
And so it boils down to this: South Africa must defeat New Zealand scoring four tries and, in the process, deny the All Blacks a bonus point. It looks a long shot on paper when you consider the Springboks have beaten the world champions only once since 2009 – an 18-5 victory in 2011. However this Springboks side is a different beast. Had Bismarck du Plessis not been given the first of two yellow cards at Eden Park three weeks ago then we might be sitting here with the equation reversed, such was the Springboks hooker's dominance. But there could be no arguing his second offence – a forearm to the throat of Liam Messam – and with that the Auckland encounter was settled.
Andrew Hore is the only All Black to have played a Test at Ellis Park and while Richie McCaw is a welcome addition to the visitors' line-up, you get the feeling the veteran duo are going to need all of their combined 199 caps of experience at a ground known for its ferocious atmosphere. It's been billed as the biggest Test of the year and has all the ingredients to deliver on that promise.
Bismarck du Plessis v Andrew Hore
Relegated to the bench for last week's clash with the Wallabies, Bismarck du Plessis has surely been counting the days for another crack at the All Blacks. As mentioned above, the brutal Springboks hooker was playing one of the games of his career in Auckland until a second yellow resulted in an early shower. Bismarck, who will again be joined in the front row by brother Jannie, brings a raw physicality to the game few can match and while he treads a fine line with discipline, that same approach also lifts his Springboks teammates. Hore, too, is far from an angel when it comes to the laws of the game but lacks the physical presence of his Springboks rival. The All Blacks rake will however ensure a consistent set piece, before likely giving way to rising star Dane Coles somewhere around the 50-minute mark.
Willie Le Roux v Julian Savea
South Africa's search for TRC glory relies on try-scoring, and who better to spark the Springboks attack than the livewire winger Willie le Roux? The Cheetahs speedster has been in fantastic form in his debut TRC, and can ignite a Springboks backline that's racked up two four-try bonus points already this campaign. Whether it's chiming in on the end of a sweeping counter-attack or putting a teammate over for a try, Le Roux looms as a go-to man for South Africa. Equally important for the Boks though is preventing the All Blacks from scoring tries of their own, and that will be no easy feat for Le Roux when he's confronted by the giant figure of Savea opposite him. The big winger has crossed for 15 tries in his 16 Tests and ran for 158m in last week's win over Argentina - more than the entire Pumas backline combined (117m).
South Africa's recent record against the All Blacks doesn't paint a pleasant picture but if you go back a little further the outlook isn't so grim, particularly with this Test being staged at Ellis Park. The Boks have won the past two encounters and four of the last six in Johannesburg and, crucially, have scored five tries or more in the last two of those matches.
The All Blacks, meanwhile, are shooting for their 12th straight Rugby Championship victory and will notch 50 wins over the Boks should they get the chocolates on Saturday night.
"We need to go out there and score four tries. We realise that it's a huge challenge, and we know we'll have to take risks. I've always said, what the mind can conceive and believe you can achieve." Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer.
"The Springboks at Ellis Park is a challenge the team is really looking forward to, one we are very excited about. We know South Africa will come at us with their physical game but to win The Rugby Championship they'll have to do that by scoring four tries. We are expecting more ball movement than we have seen in the past." All Blacks coach Steve Hansen.

The 2012 Chefs' Feast "The Irony of Eating for Hunger"
Charleston is blessed with an abundance of tastes cultivated from both land and sea. As they have found their way to our plates over the centuries, the uniqueness and variety of these tastes have given the Lowcountry its own distinct flavor. This very flavor alone beckons food lovers from around the world to Charleston and lures talented and aspiring chefs to our restaurants. It is sobering to learn that, in the midst of our culinary plentitude, one out of four children here in the Lowcountry go to bed hungry each night.
On Sunday, February 26th, the staff of EAT THIS! had the great pleasure of attending the 13th Annual Chefs' Feast. The event is a collaboration among the Lowcountry Food Bank and 32 distinguished chefs, providing 32 delectable bites, both savory and sweet, for attendees to enjoy. The Embassy Suites Charleston Area Convention Center was transformed for the night into an elegant soiree - Statuesque ice sculptures and floral arrangements adorned a white tablecloth dining scene. The big band sounds of the Michael Ray Band would have had people tripping the light fantastic if not for the irresistible aromas wafting from the chefs' tables skirting the perimeter of the room.
An evening of such sumptuous indulgence seems to fly in the face of an issue such as childhood hunger and yet what it achieves year after year it to keep hunger at bay in the Lowcountry. 95% of the proceeds from Chefs' Feast go to supporting childhood hunger programs such as Kid's Cafe and Backpack Buddies. To break it down even further, every $1 donation is the equivalent of ten meals for the needy in our community. The night's event raised $150,000. If there was ever a justification for over-indulgence, Chefs' Feast would be it.
Certainly the evening's offerings were all stellar, but several tasting in the gastronomical smorgasbord stood out to us….
In the battle of the scallop - several of the chef chose this briny protein to work with - our favorite composed plate was that of Chef Daniel Doyle of Poogan's Porch. The pan roasted diver scallop nested in a pork belly and English pea risotto that perfectly balanced sweet, caramelized notes of the scallop. Garnished with micro greens and drizzled with a South Carolina honey chili lemon vinaigrette, it was an amazing combination of sweetness, saltiness and acidity. Chef Patrick Owens of Langdon's and Opal also had a fantastic scallop offering with a sweet corn polenta that married Southern and Italian traditions in a magical way.
Duck also seemed a popular protein among the chefs. Our fav of the fowl was the design of Chef Thomas McKinney-Stehr from Sea Island Grill at Wild Dunes Resort. The duck breast was smoky and moist, sliced and layered atop a peerless wild mushroom spoon bread. (We want the recipe!) Sitting in a pool of vanilla corn emulsification and finished with Sambuca micro greens, this dish makes you want to say "Please sir, may I have another?" Not to be overlooked though were Chef Nate Whiting of Tristan and his duck and foie gras meatballs on slider buns.
Other outstanding bites…
Magnolia's Chef Donald Drake and his cup of creamy and complex flavored shellfish potlikker with seared tilefish, Mepkin Abbey Oyster Mushrooms and veggies.
Chef Travis Grimes of HUSK and his unbelievable puffed beef rind with Texas Waygu beef tartar, pickled West Virginia ramps and smoked mayonnaise.
Lana's Chef John Ondo's pillowy gnocchi and flawless pork confit.
Chef Lucas Weir of McCrady's and his visually stunning octopus paired with the earthy components of fennel, parsnips, hazelnuts and black truffle.
And on the sweeter side of things…
You can't beat the simple elegance and sophisticated flavors of Chef Frank Lee's molasses apple cobbler topped with vanilla bean ice cream. In the Maverick Southern Kitchens, Chef Lee continues to "elevate the traditional."
And not to be missed was Peninsula Grill's Executive Pastry Chef Claire Chapman's chocolate banana custard cake atop a layer of peanut butter crunch with bananas foster. Chocolate, rum, peanut butter, bananas… To die for!
It was a night to savor. Not just for the food, but also for the pride that we should all feel in our culinary leaders. The effort and the expense to create these brilliant bites for hundreds of people is no small feat. The contribution of their talent and their time reflects their sense of ownership in our community. Just as Charleston embraces them, these chefs embrace our city and the Lowcountry back. We are grateful indeed.

All of the cultures of Ghyll, current and historical, have had a tradition in one form or another of the Creator. Sometimes contradictory and usually indicative of deep rooted questions about the nature of the cosmos, the tales of Creation are as varied as the cultures themselves. The following is a partial list of some of the variety of creation myths of the different cultures.
In the beginning there were only two: The Sun and the Queen. All the mysteries and power in the Above belonged to the Sun, while the Queen controlled the magic of the Below. In the Underworld, abode of the Gods, they dwelt and they were All. There was neither man nor woman, bird nor beast, no living thing until these Two willed it to be.
In time it came to them that there should be other Gods to share their labors. So the Sun touched the Queen and she laid her first clutch of five eggs. Of those five hatched Varlansk, Ul'o, Looly, Carsok, and RUE - the pentadeity Vulcrue. As time unrolled there followed the second clutch of eight, known as Shtreiml, the "Joyful Divine Octuplets".
And then it came about that these Two had one Thought and it was a mighty Thought - that they would make Ghyll to be between the Above and the Below where now lay shimmering only the Endless Waters. So they sat them side by side, swaying their beautiful bronze bodies to the pulsing music of their own great voices, making the First Magic Song, a song of rushing winds and flowing waters, a song of light and sound and life.
In the beginning there was only water, a chaos of churning, bubbling water, this Avazians called Qes or Qest. It was out of Qes that everything began. As with the Qestarius, each year its retreat no doubt caused chaos to all creatures living on the land, so this represents Qes. Eventually the floods would recede and out of the chaos of water would emerge a hill of dry land, one at first, then more. On this first dry hilltop, on the first day came the first sunrise. So that is how the Avazians explain the beginning of all things.
People did not always live on the surface of Ghyll. At one time, people and animals lived underneath the earth with the Great Master and Lord of All Life. In this place people and animals lived together peacefully.
First the Master created a wondrous tree, with branches stretching over the entire country. At the base of the tree he dug a hole that reached all the way down into the world where the people and animals lived. After he had finished furnishing the world as he pleased, he led the first Ghyllian up the hole. Next, he began helping the animals climb out of the hole. In their eagerness, some of the animals found a way to climb up through the tree's roots and come out of the branches. They continued racing out of the world beneath until all of the animals were out.
The Master gathered all the people and animals about him. He instructed them to live together peacefully. Then he turned to the men and women and warned them not to build any fires or a great evil would befall them. As evening approached the sun began to sink beneath the horizon, but when the sun disappeared, fear entered the hearts of the people. They could no longer see each other as they lacked the eyes of the animals which were capable of seeing in the dark. In desperation, one of the Ghyllians suggested that they build a fire to keep warm. Forgetting the Master's warning, they disobeyed him. They soon grew warm and were once again able to see each other.
However, the fire frightened the animals. They fled to the caves and mountains and, ever since the people broke the Master's command, people have not been able to communicate with animals. Now, fear has replaced the seat friendship once held between the two groups.
In the beginning there were no people in the Xurient. Lumawig, the Great Spirit, came down from the sky and cut many reeds. He divided these into pairs which he placed in different parts of the world, and then he said to them, "You must speak." Immediately the reeds became people, and in each place was a man and a woman who could talk, but the language of each couple differed from that of the others.
Then Lumawig commanded each male and female to mate, which they did. By and by there were many hatchlings, all speaking the same language as their parents. These, in turn, mated and had many hatchlings. In this way there came to be many people in the Xurient.
Now Lumawig saw that there were several things which the people in the Xurient needed to use, so he set to work to supply them. He created salt, and told the inhabitants of one place to boil it down and sell it to their neighbors. But these people could not understand the directions of the Great Spirit, and the next time he visited them, they had not touched the salt.
Then he took it away from them and gave it to the people of a place called Mayinit. These did as he directed, and because of this he told them that they should always be owners of the salt, and that the other peoples must buy of them.
Then Lumawig went to the people of Bontoc and told them to get clay and make pots. They got the clay, but they did not understand the molding, and the jars were not well shaped. Because of their failure, Lumawig told them that they would always have to buy their jars, and he removed the pottery to Samoki. When he told the people there what to do, they did just as he said, and their jars were well shaped and beautiful. Then the Great Spirit saw that they were fit owners of the pottery, and he told them that they should always make many jars to sell. In this way, Lumawig taught the people and brought to them all the things which they now have.
The first living thing was Pankuu. He evolved inside a gigantic cosmic egg, which contained all the elements of the universe totally intermixed together. Pankuu grew by about 1 unanit each day. As he grew, he separated the Land and the Sky within the egg. At the same time, he gradually separated the many opposites in nature male and female, wet and dry, light and dark, good and evil. These were all originally totally commingled in the egg. While he grew he also created the first Looliers. After 18,000 years, the egg hatched and Pankuu died from the effort of creation. From his eyes Pinky and Perky appeared, from his sweat, rain and dew, from his voice, thunder, and from his body all the natural features of Ghyll arose.
From what we can determine, there is only a single deity in the Nitenmangrey pantheon - Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk. The bulk of their religion is attributed to rituals prescribed by this deity. After the Nitenmangrey age passed, it was Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk, renamed The Beast, that has became most often portrayed as evil or, more accurately, the moral opposite of the Creator, by other cultures.
This may be in part because, according to Nitenmangrey myth, the Creator created seven servants, the greatest of which was Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk who was the chief of the Creator's servants. The other six are Dardâ´îl, Ishrâfâ´îl, Mikail abû Bakr, Sajâdin, Samnâ´îl and Nûrâ´îl. The Creator placed a pure white pearl made from his soul onto the back of Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk to mark his honor.
But Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk took the pearl and created his own people. So the Creator replaced Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk with Nûrâ´îl (whom he named Malâk Tâwûs). The people created by Izrâ´îl Tâwûs Malâk became the Nitenmangrey.
Down There
Aliens Everywhere editor Bobby Shwarmph depicts the cultures of Down There as being a huge "monotheistic culture that seems to have several variations of worshipping the same deity in diverse ways that all seem to be at war with each other." He portrays some of their myths including the absurd notion that their world was created in six days by the divine words of their deity. This god then rests on the seventh day and implores his creation to do the same.
York of Brahang
York of Brahang theorized that all of Ghyll was, in fact, a fiction created in the collective minds of another race as yet unknown. This fiction was mutable and evolved as it was created by many minds often leading to some of the unique aspects of Ghyllian life we accept as commonplace.
This theory was adapted in a Mother Mutton's Golden Book (and Coloring Fun) that was retracted and later re-issued under more generic concepts as Mother Mutton's Golden Book of Linear and Dynamic Historical Projection Techniques and Coloring Fun. All known copies of York of Brahang's heretical documents are currently held by the Unquisition.
According to local tradition, when the Creator wiped Ghyll from its finger, there was a small place where the land was lifted as it adhered to His receding digit. The town that formed at this central feature became known as Folktown and the hill was named Folktown Hill.
Modern Thought
It is believed that the gods are all (or mostly) dead and that their carcasses now form the various mountains, valleys, rivers, and other geographical features of Ghyll. How - or even if - this happened is still being hotly debated by the academic community.

The Emperor E.P. was recorded in December 1992 and released in May 1993, by Candlelight Records. While it may seem like an appealing thing to acquire, upon first glance, it is not. Don't be fooled by the fact that it was spawned during the creative peak of the Norwegian black metal scene. This material is entirely sickening and hardly worth checking out, even based on curiosity.
Many years ago, after getting into Emperor, I was going back and checking out the older recordings and connecting with those far more than with Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, which was their latest album at the time. For me, In the Nightside Eclipse was far superior, even if it did fail to match up to other records that were released that same year, like Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, De Mysteris Dom Sathanas, Transilvanian Hunger and Pentagram. Nonetheless, it proved to be a high quality album and also served to lead me to discover Wrath of the Tyrant, which I approved of even more. Thinking that the early Emperor recordings were relatively safe, I next moved on to the band's first E.P. This was soon realized to be a mistake.
Emperor features only four songs and clocks in around twenty minutes in length. Despite being so brief, it is time that would be better spent doing just about anything else, other than listening to this. The material consists of two new songs and two re-recorded songs, from Wrath of the Tyrant. Though the necro production of that release happened to be one of its main charms, there was still a bit of curiosity to hear a couple of those tracks in a somewhat cleaned-up form. In particular, the choice to include "Night of the Graveless Souls" seemed like something positive. However, upon actual hearing it, the true horror of this E.P. was revealed.
To be honest, there is not much wrong with the original version of "I Am the Black Wizards". It features a more primitive production and sounds a little nastier, which is a good thing. It would have been even better, had the keyboards been absent, giving us a more straightforward approach to this classic track. At times, there are odd vocal effects used, to give the impression of some sort of demonic voice, but it does not really fit well with this song. The other track that would later appear on In the Nightside Eclipse, "Cosmic Keys to my Creations and Times", is quite similar though clearly inferior. It includes even more synth and appears to rely on it a little more heavily. Neither one is atrocious, by any means, but they simply don't match up to the later versions and are not different enough to really warrant much attention.
The truly hideous part of this release comes in the form of the two re-recorded songs from Wrath of the Tyrant, "Night of the Graveless Souls" and "Wrath of the Tyrant". In their original form, these two tracks represented Emperor's take on primitive, old school black metal with a dark and evil feeling that was emphasized by the necro production. They were perfect, more or less, despite sounding a little messy. Giving the songs another try, one might expect a slightly clearer performance, thus allowing the listener to enjoy the sinister guitar riffs even more. This was not the case, at all. Emperor managed to completely butcher these songs, by adding in synth that was never meant to be present, killing the atmosphere and ruining these tracks and this release, in general. Without the idiotic keyboard use, these songs would sound great. Unfortunately, instead of maintaining their integrity, the band decided to try to modernize the songs by adding the synth nonsense that they had developed such a liking for, since recording the originals. It is somewhat tolerable on "Wrath of the Tyrant", as they at least tried to be somewhat tasteful and to match the synth up with the music.
However, in the case of "Night of the Graveless Souls", it was as if they were listening to something else, entirely. It sounds like they were actually attempting to ruin the song, as the synth is so goofy and cartoonish, not even remotely suiting the atmosphere of the song. This is exactly why the rest of the band should have taken Ihsahn outside and beaten him to a bloody pulp, the first time he showed up to rehearsal with his Casio in hand. Listening to this rape job makes me want to stab my ears with an ice pick, or take a hammer to the misguided hands that did this foul evil.
Emperor truly struck out with this release. While three of the four songs are mildly tolerable, none of them are as good as other versions. As for "Night of the Graveless Souls", this may be the true beginnings of suicidal black metal, as listening to this will make you want to kill yourself. Garbage like this somewhat foreshadowed future lame decisions that the band would make, taking the path toward mediocrity and utter putrid filth. Avoid this E.P. and stick to the other releases, pretending that this never happened.

How do you know?!? it is said a picture is worth a thousand words. How about watching 2 minutes of video before you decide if you do "love them" instead of basing it on a few pictures and a short bio. Basing pre race favorites on what their bios say is just not a good practice and it is a waste of bandwidth. What if they start off saying "I hate people who are named Luis"? You can say things that are relevant with the info you know like "they are cute" or "fighting sisters should add an element of excitement to the Race". On that same note, do you fall for people when you read their ads in the personals in the newspaper? Same logic.Originally Posted by luis78

From the bio and the pre-show interview, I feel like this duo is shaping up to be this season's hypocrites. I hope not because I really want to like them. I hope they are edited fairly.
Kristy quote from her interview:
"I hope to be an example and show the world that Mormons, Utahans and women can be interesting, exciting and capable of competing in high-stress situations while maintaining core values. "
Hmmm...this is coming from a single mom and a striptease aerobics instructor. Now, I have NOTHING agains either, one of my best friends is a single mom and I've known a few strippers who are extremely nice girls. I'm also not saying that they can't be spiritual people or have decent values, they can. But it just seems that they are trying to play both sides of the fence here.
I'm actually hoping for them to be fun like in a Julie-from-"Real World New Orleans" kind of way. I like that they want to play with integrity, I just don't want the Mormonism to be over-played in editing.

I wouldn't blame them for that, if it happens, since the producers decide what each teams label is going to be.Originally Posted by spegs

Of all that were thy prisons--ah, untamed,
Ah, light and sacred soul!--none holds thee now;
No wall, no bar, no body of flesh, but thou
Art free and happy in the lands unnamed,
Within whose gates, on weary wings and maimed,
Thou still would'st bear that mystic golden bough
The Sibyl doth to singing men allow,
Yet thy report folk heeded not, but blamed.
And they would smile and wonder, seeing where
Thou stood'st, to watch light leaves, or clouds, or wind,
Dreamily murmuring a ballad air,
Caught from the Valois peasants; dost thou find
A new life gladder than the old times were,
A love more fair than Sylvie, and as kind?
Sorry, no summary available yet.

Kat Von D and Nikki Sixx Go Bargain Shopping
Kat Von D and Nikki Sixx hit up the Melrose Trading Post in Hollywood this weekend looking for bargains.
The LA Ink star and Mötley Crüe musician clearly both have an affinity for cheap things other than each other. Tattoo-ed beauty Kat is a big fan of the flea market, where vendors sell their old belongings to customers going by that old adage, "one man's trash is another man's treasure."
That explains Kat's attraction to Nikki Sixx in a nutshell. If she's looking to join forces with another inked-up man, John Mayer is available.

Icy Strait Point, Alaska What is there to see and do there ?
View Single Post
Join Date: Apr 2007
Location: Juneau, Alaska
Posts: 79
If you're looking on a map or Google Earth, you'll find Icy Strait Point listed as the villiage of Hoonah. ISP is simply the name of a lodge/restaurant/gift-shop/tourist area just outside of Hoonah located on what locals know as "Cannery Point". The tour facility was built a few years ago by private interests in hopes of capturing some of the cruise ship traffic that just kept sailing on by... it did! ISP has gone from 1 or 2 ship dockings per week as a trial to 1 or 2 ships every day.
I don't know what's being offered via the cruise lines for contract excursions this year, but all the reports I've heard from travelers visiting tell us to book independant tours there... ship offerings tend to be canned re-workings of tours that you can do in Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, etc...
If you're prioritizing your excursions, ISP has little or no flight-seeing available, so do that in other ports. You can walk all of town and several nice nature walks that are self guided, and there are a few gift shops around town featuring local native arts & crafts. It's about as close as you'll get to just wandering around a local Tlingit native fishing villiage unless you take a private cruise on a chartered yacht! Juneau fishing charters often run just off the point in search of halibut, and the whale-watching there is fantastic... Hoonah is less than 50 miles from Juneau and Auke Bay. You might almost call it a "suburb" of Juneau, but that's a stretch of the term!
I spend at least a few days each year in or near Hoonah with the Can Can while on various charters. If anyone has any other questions, fire away... I'm happy to help answer when I can!
Better not for now... signatures get me banned!

A CAR has crashed into a shop at the Cockhedge Shopping Centre in Warrington.
The collision happened around 7pm on Monday at a curtain and bedding shop at the retail park in the centre of Warrington.
It is not thought there were any serious injuries.
Despite the vehicle completely smashing the window of the Linen Warehouse store, staff say it has been business as usual the morning after.
Area manager Pearl Sutton said she and her team had worked through the night to ensure the store was open and joked there were plenty of comfy beds around so they could have a break.
She added: "I got a call at 8pm saying there's a car in your shop and have been here all night.
"I was a bit stunned when I heard the news but we have been getting on with sorting things out.
"They could only secure part of the shop so it's been cold and we're just waiting now for the rest of it to be secured."
