Youth United for Change's (YUC) annual awards reception. And for the first time in a long time I was blown away. Never have I heard and seen our youth so engaged in an event that it made me want to go out and advocate for them. Education is extremely important for YUC and I commend them on having the youth MC the event.The night was filled with awards, networking and ensuring a future for the children.
One of the most aspiring moments was when some of the members released their thoughts via poetry. They spoke about agism, racism, sexim among other topics. And wow they couldn't have been so much on point. They expressed their feelings in a comfortable media in an environment they are not used to. Being able to express your thoughts is important and I was happy to see this happen. Mayor Michael A. Nutter along with other council people were awarded due to their support in keeping certain schools open. After everythign was said and done, I believe everyone should have felt aspired to support education.

Congratulations! You have been selected for an interview! The interview is typically the last step of the application process. It's important to fully prepare yourself for the interview; this is often your last chance to persuade the admissions committee to accept you into their program. Preparing will also help reduce your anxiety on the day of the interview.
Before the interview
Arrive early if you can. Nothing is worse than being late to an interview, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get there. Don't be rushed.
Be sure to review your application and your personal statement before you arrive. The interviewer may ask you specific questions concerning your application and personal statement. Bring a copy with you.
Treat every interaction as if it were an integral part of the interview.
During the interview
Acknowledge the interviewer by name ("Hello, Dr. X"), and introduce yourself.
Shake hands (firm, but not bone crunching).
Maintain eye contact
Don't fidget
Don't cross arms
Try not to speak too quickly
If you don't know the answer to a specific question, don't be afraid to say that you don't
know. If you try to make something up, the interviewer will see right through you. This could simply be a composure test. It takes a great deal of maturity to simply say, "I don't know."
After the interview
You should write your interviewer a thank-you note. Be sure to obtain the address of the interviewer through the admissions office or get their card. A short note or email is appropriate (but no novelty greeting cards, please). Try to mention something specific about your interview.
Other resources
The website that this information was taken from has more valuable tips and tricks about the interview process.

OT: How does the cashback work?
Feb 16, 2012
Jessops have a £50 cashback on the V1. What does this mean? Do I get a voucher for other kit? Do I have to post in something and get a credit against my credit card?
Silly question, but just how does this work?

This edited volume explores how we frame the subjects and objects of contemporary European Union (EU) law. The inquiry as to the subjects and objects of Public International Law (PIL) is one long dismissed as fruitless (e.g. Higgins, 1994). Nevertheless, it is a more revealing inquiry in EU law, which has explicitly sought to differentiate itself as a new legal order of PIL with a distinctive framing of its subjects and objects. As the EU's internal and external competences have evolved, significant changes surround the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law. It may increasingly capture a broader range of actors and interests, intentionally or otherwise. The subjects and objects of EU regulatory frameworks thus raise fundamental issues as to the rule of law as well as to the EU's legitimacy in the wider world. While there may be hundreds of years of work across disciplines on the self as subject, the object as an entity often appears a neglected field of inquiry. The EU treaties and EU law jurisprudence alike reveal a quantifiable panoply of interests, actors, objects and subjects, scattered across them. The collaborative research effort presented in this volume is linked to three primary motifs or considerations in how we frame the subjects and objects of EU law: transformations, the external-internal nexus and crises as to EU law. It confronts the question: how should we understand the dialectic between the subjects and objects in contemporary EU law? Can the objects of EU law so readily become its subjects? What are the normative parameters of the shift from subject to object and object to subject? How are new narratives understood within this dialectic?

The developing role of the European Ombudsman
The Role of the European Ombudsman
Herwig C.H. Hofmann
This chapter undertakes an assessment of the legal framework governing the mandate and capabilities as well as independence of the European Ombudsman (hereafter, the 'Ombudsman'). To do so, the chapter takes a detailed look at, inter alia, EU 'constitutional' law, the Ombudsman's existing procedures, the concept of 'maladministration' as expressed in the Ombudsman's mandate, and the consequences of an Ombudsman finding of maladministration. On this basis the chapter discusses future possibilities for developing ombuds review in the European Union (EU) as well as Ombudsman O'Reilly's stated ambition to increase the visibility of the Ombudsman and the impact of ombuds review in the context of more high-profile, and often 'political', investigations.

It's official! All signed up for the March 2010 IVF Cycle!
I have been really struggling with my Provera medicine this time around. It's a ten day pill system used to start my cycle. I have four left and I have been really REALLY down in the dumps this week. Signing up for the March cycle is the only thing that has made me smile in at least three days. I finally have something substantial in this journey to look forward to...that's all I need for now.

Hello Everyone,
As per my last post (click here) I had my third meeting with the Manhattan Miniature Camera Club this past Monday and as always the first Monday of the month is competition night. I sent in two digital images (see below) one for texture and the other for architecture. I was hoping for a 9 on the texture which I call Rust & Port Hole but alas the judge who was very fair, experienced and basically wonderful, but a tad picky felt it was an 8 as she did with my second image of the Piano Building looming up into the great blue sky. Eights are great but nines are fine and I'm determined to get at least one nine per month and to do that I have to make sure the image has a WoW factor; it's got to bowl the judge over. This is terrific practice for me as I plan to expand my submission to bigger and more prestigious competitions in the future and the MMCC is giving me a good grounding. I have to say that I really like doing this; I am learning so much about photography just by looking and listening to a constructive critique of my work as well as my fellow photographers. There are some damn good photographers in this club and I'm thrilled to be a part of this group. The next meeting is October 19th and it is a discussion program called Photo Conversations. I'm already planning for the next monthly competition and am thinking of submitting two black and white photos that I took this year. There is also a separate competition (the first of three for the year) in November and the theme is simply Zoo. So, off to the Bronx I go.
I am also on my third assignment with the Photographic Society of America and this project is people. This is tough for me because I do not like shooting people, that didn't sound right did it? I meant photographing them because well just because I don't know what the heck to do with them! I feel uncomfortable trying to pose them, etc. and I'm sure the model picks up on that. I'm an urban industrial photographer and you will rarely see people in my photos but I made a committment to do whatever it takes to become a great photographer and learning to shoot (there I go again) people in different scenes, clothes, lighting, predicament, whatever I will do. Thankfully my friend Claudia of Lampreart is a very willing model and also very patient as well as a fantastic artist. That's the sign of a good friend. I'll start this Sunday photographing her in her art studio. For the assignment I have to read ten chapters or projects and then pick three to do and then submit. Gulp! Hopefully I will have some to post on this blog in a week or two. Keep your fingers crossed. Have a great week.
Stay In Focus,

About us
In 1960, Dick and Babs Honey* moved to Upper Midford Farm with their seven sons and one daughter. In the early years this was a busy dairy farm, never short of workers – paid and unpaid – all with enormous enthusiasm for the stock, the farm and this beautiful valley.
Once most of their children had flown the nest, Dick and Babs retired to a small holding in Pembrokeshire. The farm in Midford passed through the three eldest sons, stopping with Bob – son number four – who happily juggled farming with running his business in concrete until he took early retirement in 2008.
The farm is now devoted to rearing beef and to growing apples for Honey's Midford Cider which is made by Bob Honey and his daughter Jules Coles (nee Honey), the second and third generation of Honeys in Midford. This combination of enterprises complement each other as the cattle graze under the trees and provide fertility to the orchard soil, and are then fed each autumn with the apple pommace once the juice has been pressed. They love it!
Jules has two daughters who have been brought up to treat the farm as their second home, and who have their own love of the land. Maybe one day it will be Honey & Daughter & Granddaughters!
* Babs became well known to the farming community throughout the country, by her regular 'Babs Honey's Diary' which featured in the Farmers Weekly throughout the 60's and early 70's, and for her cookery books.

Smoked Salmon Scramble
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by chef blade
Full-flavored egg dish for Brunch. Serve with bagels, cream cheese, and home-grown tomatoes.
Top Review by Maito
Really good scramble. We saved the lox to put on the side, so it wouldn't cook with the heat, and then just ate a bite of each together. We thought since we had fresh dill and capers we would just put some of those on the side to try too, and they were both super with it. A great "breakfast for dinner"!

Thanks to drastic changes in health care in recent years, many of us have at least heard of the term "super user." A super user is someone who repeatedly visits the hospital, many times for help managing a chronic illness or follow-up medical care. Unfortunately, as a result, the trend has added to higher health care costs and over extension of the emergency services system. Many of our hospital emergency rooms are now overcrowded, which greatly extends the wait time to see a physician and be treated. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the number of emergency department visits rose 44 percent from 1991 through 2010, while the number of hospital emergency departments decreased by 10 percent in the same time period. In addition, the average wait time to see a physician in an emergency department jumped from 45 minutes from 1998 to 2000, to 55 minutes from 2008 to 2010. So, how do we ensure that emergency departments are reserved for the most severe medical cases, while also providing efficient, cost-effective, quality care to the super users and other less critically ill patients? Many communities, including my home of Erie, have found success in establishing community paramedicine programs, which allow emergency medical services providers to deliver care to certain patients. Community paramedicine provides an effective alternative for those patients who need medical care, but do not necessarily need to visit the emergency Read more

Abstraction draws from the extensive collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, to showcase the astounding contribution women artists have made to the development of abstract art in Australia.
Featuring 76 works by 38 significant Australian artists spanning almost a century, this exhibition of paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures and ceramics reveals a dedication to risk-taking, experimentation and ingenious innovation that deserves greater recognition.
There will also be a special guided tour for International Women's Day on Wednesday 8 March at 2.00pm and an In Conversation with Kaz Paton, Melinda Harper and Lisa Sullivan from 5.00pm.

The Eurasian treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird. They are quite common here, but often difficult to spot because they're so well camouflaged (as demonstrated in the lower picture).
They are often confused with the Short-toed treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla), the easiest way to tell them apart is by song. The Eurasian (common) says "srrri" and the Short-toed says "tyyyt".

Author: innocentimp
Summary: Harry Potter went to live with Carlisle Cullen and his family when he was 7, then to Hogwarts when he was 11. Now he's 20, the war with Voldemort is over and due to misunderstandings and manipulations he's not seen or heard from his adoptive family in years. This is his journey home.
Pairings: EC/HP
Warnings: Slash and all that entails. Don't complain.
Note: As this is only a writing exercise for me, I have no beta. All mistakes are mine. I do apologize for being away from this project for so long. I've sold a book to a publisher so this had to go on the back burner, which in turn killed my momentum. I hope to update more regularly now and close out this project before I get sucked back into my original work.
Thanks for all the reviews!
"You wanted to see me?" Edward asked as he entered Carlisle's office.
"Yes, have a seat," Carlisle said, gesturing toward the arm chair in front of his desk as he flipped closed the patient file on top of his desk.
Edward forced himself to relax into the chair Carlisle indicated. The moment his back touched the seat his fingers curled into the arms, his jaw locked and the thirst he'd so carefully controlled all evening surged to life.
Harry. The chair smelled of Harry, his scent threaded through every fiber, even the throw across the back smelled of him.
"It really does affect you strongly, doesn't it?" Carlisle quietly asked his tone kind.
Unable to unlock his jaw, Edward jerked his head in the affirmative.
"You understand that this is more than thirst, Edward? That if Harry's your singer, then he's also –
"No," Edward growled.
"You have to consider the possibility."
"No," Edward pushed himself from his seat. "I don't. I won't. I'd never do that to him."
"To him?" Carlisle's eyes went soft. "I think it may be the best thing for him, Edward. And you."
"Best thing?" Edward hissed, "How could you say that. If I claimed him, acknowledged him as my mate, I'd have to turn him. I won't do that."
Carlisle studied him for a long moment. "With or without you, he's on that path already. Has been for years now. He's a member of this family Edward, at Harry's request I will turn him."
"You would do that?" Edward growled, his fingers clenching the edge of Carlisle's desk. "You would risk his soul?"
"Not without his permission, no. But if it's what he wants… I could never deny him, Edward. Nor would I want to. He's as much my son as you are."
"Yet you'd support a union between us?" Edward asked incredulously. "He's my brother."
"Are you denying your feelings for him?"
Edward jerked his head to the window on the far wall, his teeth locked around the denials bubbling up his throat.
"You spent a few short years with him, Edward. And your relationship was never inappropriate. He's spent nearly a decade of his life in Britain, and he's grown up while we weren't looking. He's a fine man."
"You truly have no objection?" He cut a wary glance toward Carlisle.
"I want only for him to be happy. The same thing I've wanted for you for many, long decades. I ask only that you be honest with him. He's always been closest to you, and your opinion has always held the greatest weight with him. Your reluctance could hurt him deeply." Carlisle came around the desk. "I'll not mention this discussion to the others. I just wanted you to consider your options." He squeezed Edward's shoulder firmly before he passed out of the office.
My options?
Edward wandered out of the office and down the hallway, his mind running in circles.
Carlisle assumes too much. Harry's given no indication that his feelings mirror mine. This is his home; I'll not risk his happiness here. I can control myself. I've managed the thirst, I'll manage this too.
"You look like hell," Harry leaned against the doorway and watched as Charlie rubbed a hand over his stubbled jaw. "Do you even remember the last time you showered?"
Charlie tossed him the finger and snatched a fresh t-shirt from the dresser. "Five minutes ago."
"Well, thank Merlin for that," Harry crossed to the bed, spelled it made and cast a freshening charm. "I was beginning to think you were melding with the sofa."
Charlie pulled his wand and spelled away the three day growth along his jaw. "I'm exhausted."
"It's nearly noon," Harry pointed out. "If you'd stop staying up all hours of the night with Emmett playing video games you'd feel a bit better. And live longer," he added under his breath. He'd woken up to the sound of Rosalie's screaming at four that morning.
"Ha-ha," Charlie responded, but the way he shifted the waistband on his jeans and grimaced said he'd heard Rose loud and clear when she'd threatened to castrate him last night. "Emmett's cool, but I think our gaming days are over. I'm a little surprised you didn't talk about him more, were you guys not close when you were a kid?" Charlie asked, taking a seat next to Harry on the bed.
"Emmett and I were close, but it took a little longer than it did with Edward and Carlisle," Harry admitted guiltily. "I guess they were easier to be around in some ways."
"How do you mean? Emmett seems like the most relaxed of the bunch, the most carefree. I would have thought that would appeal to a kid."
"I guess. And sometimes it did. But Emmett sort of functions on the same level of hyper all the time, and at the same volume," Harry added. "And when I was seven? He looked huge."
"You were afraid of him?" Charlie asked.
"Wary, I guess. I'd only been away from my Aunt and Uncle's for a couple of months. And, well, instinct told me to keep my distance."
"But that obviously changed."
"Yeah," Harry agreed with a smile. "It did."
Alaska, 1988
Carlisle knelt in front of Harry's favorite arm chair and tilted the little boy's chin up. "It's only for a few hours, okay?" When Harry continued to stare with large, wary eyes he continued. "The girls are off shopping, Edward and Jasper are camping, and I've been called into the hospital. Emmett is going to stay with you until I get home, I won't be long Harry. I promise."
Harry didn't say anything, just peered over Carlisle's shoulder to where Emmett hovered in the doorway.
"You and Emmett haven't really gotten a chance to get to know each other, Harry. Maybe you can watch a movie, or go for a walk?"
Unsure what to say Harry nodded jerkily and settled on, "I'll be good."
Carlisle frowned and the little line that meant he was sad appeared between his brows. "Harry, you aren't in trouble, this isn't a punishment. You know that right?" Carlisle asked, settling a cool hand on Harry's shoulder.
"I know."
"Alright, then. I'll be back in a few hours; you and Emmett have a nice afternoon, okay?" With one last squeeze to his shoulder Carlisle left. "Emmett, a word?"
Harry pulled his legs to his chest. What were they talking about? Should he follow them? At the Dursley's he got in trouble for listening when he shouldn't, but sometimes it was about him! And sometimes it helped to know what to expect. And who to avoid. He buried his head in his knees. He didn't want to be a nasty little sneak.
I wish I could hear them from here. Then it wouldn't be sneaking…
"I don't think this is a good idea, Carlisle." Emmett's voice filtered into the room as if in answer to Harry's wish. "He's afraid of me."
No I'm not!
"No he's not," Carlisle replied. "He's just wary. He needs some time to get to know you, Emmett."
"He didn't seem to need anytime with you." A thump sounded, as though someone had knocked their fist against a wall. "Or Edward."
"I've had more one on one time with him than the rest of you and Edward is a quieter soul, Emmett."
"So what am I supposed to do with him? I can't play the piano, and I don't brood."
Carlisle laughed. "Why don't you start with chicken nuggets, ice cream and a board game, go from there, okay?"
Three Hours Later
"Sorry!" Harry squeaked as he bumped Emmet's yellow game piece off the board. For the third time.
"I think you're cheating."
"Am not!" Harry managed to sound both outraged and terrified at the same time.
"Are you sure?"
Harry nodded his head, mouth set with grim determination.
"Then what's this?" Emmet reached up the sleeve of Harry's sweatshirt and withdrew one of his little yellow game pieces. "You holding out on me, kid?"
Harry shot to his feet, eyes impossibly wide, mouth hanging open. "I… I… I didn't take that!"
"Yeah? What about this one, then?" Emmett slid his fingers around the back of Harry's ear, willing himself to ignore Harry's sudden flinch, and pulled out another yellow piece.
"How?" Harry's little hand shot up, tugging at his ear. "How did you do that?" He asked equal parts fascination and horror coloring his voice.
Emmett couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. "Relax, Runt." He ruffled Harry's hair and stood up. "I'm just teasing you." He held out his hand palm up. "Empty, right?" He waited for Harry's nod, then wiggled his fingers and clenched his fist. When he opened it a nano second later, a red and yellow game piece sat in the center.
Harry looked from his palm, to his face, then breathed, "cool!" When he reached out to touch one of the pieces Emmett made them disappear again with a smile. "No way. If I give them back you'll just want to clobber me at Sorry again. I think I'd rather have ice cream."
"Chocolate?" Harry asked, grin widening to show off his missing front tooth.
"Sure, runt. Why don't you put the game back in Carlisle's study and I'll grab the ice cream."
"Okay," Harry dropped to his knees and shuffled everything into the box. "Be right back!"
Emmett barely made it to the kitchen before a zip of electricity raced up his spine. Unsure what had caused it he peered through the kitchen window and into the woods. As though they'd shared the same feeling hundreds of birds shot to the sky simultaneously out of the woods, their calls carrying for miles. As a unit they turned south and disappeared.
The dishes began rattling against each other, clanking then breaking. A picture, one of Harry's first, fell from its place on the wall, the frame shattering against the wood floor.
"Emmett!" Harry's terrified scream rattled him into movement. He dashed through the house, dodging falling objects and ignoring the splintering of wood and crashing of glass. He turned the corner into Carlisle's office in time to see the heavy oak bookcase sway away from the wall, cascading medical tomes and novels over the terrified eight year old.
Emmett didn't think, he just moved, placing himself between the falling bookcase and Harry. He barely registered the thud of the wood against his back as he dropped to his knees and pulled Harry beneath him. "It's okay, kid. I've got you." Harry's pulse pounded out a brutal pace and his tears soaked through Emmett's sleeve. Finally, the earth settled and silence descended.
"Harry?" The little boy didn't respond, just clung tighter to Emmett's chest. "Harry, it's okay. Let me just move you away from the bookcase." When Harry didn't say anything Emmett wrapped an arm around his waist and hefted him off the ground as he used his back to push the bookcase back up and against the wall. "Why don't you sit here in Carlisle's chair, okay?" He gently disentangled the arms wrapped around his neck and deposited the kid in the chair.
"Harry, you okay?" He didn't answer, just glanced away at the floor. "Harry?" Emmett ran a critical eye over him; he looked okay, no obvious broken bones and no blood that he could see. He took a knee in front of the little boy. "Why don't we call Carlisle?"
"No! No, please! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it!" Watery green eyes locked with his halting his quest for the phone.
"I didn't mean to do it, I swear!"
"Do what, Harry?"
"Make the bookcase fall over. I can clean it all up! I can put it all back." He leapt from the chair, scrambling to the books strewn across the floor. The phone cut through Emmett's confusion before he could follow Harry.
"Yeah?" Emmett answered.
"Emmett, thank goodness. Is Harry alright?" Carlisle sounded stressed and Emmett could hear the chaotic noise of the hospital in the background.
"He seems to be…"
"I don't know, there's not a mark on him, but he's upset, Carlisle. Keeps apologizing for making the bookcase fall over. I don't understand what he means."
There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and then finally, "He was removed from his relatives because of his uncontrolled magical bursts. They weren't magical and couldn't deal with it."
"I don't understand, Carlisle."
"When Harry would get upset, things would rattle. Sometimes fall off of shelves. He was punished for it, Emmett."
"What are you saying?" Emmett hissed through clenched teeth.
"It's not important –
"It damn well is if they hurt him!"
"They don't have that power anymore, Emmett. It's why the headmaster asked me to take him in."
"He's terrified, Carlisle. How soon can you get here? He needs you."
"I can't leave the hospital, Emmett. The quake was pretty large, we're expecting an influx. Hold on."
Carlisle stopped talking and Emmett took the opportunity to glance around for Harry. His heart seized when he didn't immediately see him. Books were still strewn across the floor, but no Harry. Just as he was about to panic a sniffle from beneath Carlisle's desk caught his attention. Emmett ducked his head and sure enough, Harry was curled up under the desk, knees to chest, desperately holding back tears.
"Hey, kid. What are you doing under there?"
"Is he mad?" Harry choked out.
"What? Harry, no. No one's mad."
"Emmett, you there?" Carlisle interrupted, coming back on the line.
"Yeah, Carlisle. You need to get here. Now."
"I can't, Emmett. The ER is already starting to fill up and the sheriff just told me there've been reports of landslides. The mountain road leading to the house is likely impassible."
"So, that'll hardly stop you."
"I can't just leave Emmett, it'll look suspicious. I'll have to stay in town for the time being."
"Okay, fine. I'm sure Esme and the girls will be home soon, I can hold out until then."
"I don't think so, son. They just walked into my office. You're going to have to hold out until Edward and Jasper get back from their hunt."
"How long are we talking about here, Carlisle? The kid's terrified and frankly, so am I! What if I screw him up? Say the wrong thing?"
"You can't say the wrong thing, Emmett. Just reassure him this wasn't his fault. I'll get back to the house as soon as I can. A few days, tops." The line went dead before Emmett could protest further.
"Well, crap," he muttered.
Emmett dropped to the floor and ducked his head under the desk. "How you doing, runt?"
"He's mad, isn't he? That's why he isn't coming back."
I can't say the wrong thing. I can't say the wrong thing.
"Carlisle isn't mad at you, kid." He extended a hand and watched dismayed as Harry moved as far into the corner of the desk as he could. "Hey," Emmett said softly. "This wasn't your fault, harry. It was an earthquake. Nothing you did caused this, okay?"
Harry stared at him for a long time. "You're sure?"
"Yeah, runt. I'm sure. It was just an earthquake. Nothing you could have done would have changed anything. You didn't cause it and you couldn't stop it, alright?" Little by little Harry uncurled from his tucked away position.
"Is it gonna happen again?" He asked as he reached for Emmett's outstretched hand.
"We'll probably get a few aftershocks, yeah." The moment the words left his mouth Harry dashed back under the desk and Emmett let out a soft curse.
So much for not being able to say the wrong thing.
"I bet those were an interesting couple of days," Charlie said with a grin. "But I bet you got to know Emmett really well."
"Understatement of the century, pal," Emmett remarked from the doorway. "The runt there refused to stay in the house. We camped on the lawn until Edward and Jasper got back. Three. Days. Later. No TV, no video games. No technology. It was brutal."
"It wasn't that bad!" Harry protested as Emmett sauntered into the room. "I have great memories of those few days. You trying to pitch a tent. Trying to cook with an open flame…"
"Shut up, you," Emmett said, pulling Harry into a head lock and out the door.
"I told you not to use that much lighter fluid. It's not my fault you singed your eyebrows off…"
Charlie's laugh boomed down the hall.
"At least they grew back!" Harry joked as he tried to pull away from Emmett. "Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise. Not that you deserve it, brat." Emmett snatched a set of keys off the counter and pulled Harry into the garage. "Now shut up, we're going for a ride."

text: Sasuke's Rinnegan has six tomoe. They indicate that his Rinnegan is "fully charged". If he uses it too often, the tomoe disappear and the Rinnegan needs to recharge. While using the Rinnegan, Sasuke can use his Mangekyo Sharingan as well, but he cannot use either while the Rinnegan charges. So essentially the tomoe don't really mean anything, they're just an indication that the Kekkai Genkai is fully charged.

Our research on church growth in east London shows that it can go hand in hand with action with our neighbours for social justice.
In a new report with Durham University, we argue churches need to teach more about money. We've also produced a practical guide to help them do so.
Our 2016-17 Annual Review is now online – showing how we have been helping churches to achieve real change with and for their communities.
The Centre for Theology & Community is based in the heart of east London. We grew out of local churches in membership of Citizens UK – the national home of community organising.
We work with a growing range of churches – including long-established congregations as well as new church plants. Our partner churches are from various denominations and styles. We believe churches in deprived and diverse areas have a vital role to play in the transformation of their communities and of wider society.
We equip churches through the practices of community organising, theological reflection and prayer. We also help them to use their resources more effectively for their mission. We undertake research to support their mission and share the lessons through publications, training and consultancy.

What About Carbon-14 Dating?
A common question concerning the creation-evolution controversy is "What about carbon-14 dating?" This radiometric dating method appears often in the mass media news, probably because it is usually applied to fossil materials, particularly to those connected with ancient human remains. Many people are interested in what the fossils say, and carbon-14 (abbreviated C-14) dating seems to make them say they once lived ten, twenty, forty or fifty thousand years ago. As the reasoning apparently goes, with all this time available, perhaps evolution actually did take place. In earlier essays we have shown that the process of evolution can really not be demonstrated in the fossil record, nor can it be demonstrated in the world of living things today. But in the popular mind, C-14 dating is associated with an evolutionary history of life. Just how reliable, then, is this radiometric method for estimating the ages of fossils?
First, how does the method work?
High-energy cosmic rays (actually sub-atomic particles) from space continually crash into atoms in the earth's upper atmosphere. The result of such a collision is a shower of sub-atomic debris, including many neutrons. Neutrons are found in the nuclei of all atoms except ordinary hydrogen atoms. The nucleus of an atom of ordinary hydrogen consists of a single positively charged particle called a proton. The nuclei of all other elements contain both positively charged protons and neutrons, which are neutral and have close to the same mass as do protons. The gas nitrogen makes up about 78% of earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen atomic nuclei contain 7 neutrons and 7 protons. The 7 positive protons make it a nitrogen atom, and the 7+7 = 14 protons and neutrons give it an atomic mass of 14. It is an atom of nitrogen-14 (N-14). Common carbon atoms (C-12) have 6 protons and 6 neutrons in their nuclei. When a neutron produced by cosmic radiation hits an N-14 nucleus at the right speed, it can knock out a proton and replace it to produce a nucleus having 6 protons and 8 neutrons. The 6 protons make it an isotope of carbon, Carbon-14 (C-14). Carbon-14 is radioactive, decaying by expelling from its nucleus a single negatively charged electron (called a beta particle). This converts a proton into a neutron, so the C-14 becomes an N-14 atom. A quantity of radioactive C-14 decays at such a rate that half of it remains after 5730 years. This is called the half-life of C-14. Atoms of C-14 formed by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere soon react with oxygen molecules to produce molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2).
How is this information applied to estimating the ages of fossils?
The atmosphere and living things today have roughly one atom of C-14 per trillion atoms C-12. If the carbon of a carbon-containing fossil is analyzed and found to contain only one-half atom of C-14 per trillion atoms of C-12, it is assumed that the organism died one C-14 half-life or 5730 years ago. A ratio of one-fourth C-14 atoms per trillion atoms of carbon would indicate an age since death of two half-lives or 11,460 years.
What are the assumptions of the C-14 method?
In Creation Essay 19 we explained that every dating method for the distant past involves assumptions. If those assumptions cannot be proved to be uniformly correct, the ages obtained are not certain to be correct. The basic assumptions for the C-14 method are: (1) the rate of radioactive decay of C-14 in a fossil organism has been constant; (2) the rate of formation of C-14 in the upper atmosphere has been constant for about 100,000 years; (3) the total circulating inventory of carbon in the atmosphere, in living organisms, in decaying organic matter, in soil and ground waters and in the oceans has remained constant; (4) the mixing of carbon between these different reservoirs has produced a constant equilibrium concentration of C-14 in living organisms and (5) the fossil being dated has neither lost nor gained any carbon since the death of the organism.
Are these assumptions valid? Can all C-14 ages be accepted as correct?
Assumption 1, constancy of decay rate, is probably a good assumption. The other assumptions, however, are problematic at best. Assumptions 2, 3 and 5 are all known not to be correct in many instances. Great care must be taken to assure that samples have gained or lost no carbon. The C-14 method then yields generally reliable results for historically dateable materials back to about 1500 B.C. For dates prior to 1500 B.C., however, there is an increasing error in C-14 ages, making them lower than the age determined by analysis of ancient tree rings. Tree ring wood 8,000 years old by tree ring count yields C-14 ages up to 650 years less. Furthermore, the comparison of C-14 ages with tree-ring ages in the period 1500 B.C. to the present shows that there were definite deviations of C-14 in living things from the present C-14 concentration in living things. Thus, though the tree ring dating method is subject to some potential errors, it is agreed that the C-14 concentration in living things has not been constant for the past 8,000 years. This and other evidence strongly suggest that the rate of cosmic ray production of C-14 has not been constant. Remember that there is no way to prove that it was constant prior to 6000 B.C.
Perhaps some of the deviations in C-14 concentration in living things were the result of variations in the rate of cosmic ray bombardment of the earth's upper atmosphere. In any event the facts strongly indicate that assumption 2 above is not completely valid. But possibly, too, there may have been in the past some major disturbance of the C-14 production and distribution system that invalidates assumption 3.
Is there evidence for a major disruption of C-14 production and distribution?
There is, indeed, striking evidence for disruption of the steady state conditions on which the C-14 method for dating fossils is based. Buried in the sedimentary rocks of the earth's crust are vast deposits of the carbon-containing fossil fuels, coal and petroleum, plus other carbonaceous materials. There are also huge formations of limestone containing carbon that once was undoubtedly in the circulating carbon inventory. The carbon in the fossil fuel and limestone deposits is not now in the circulating inventory, but it was in the past. This must mean that the circulating carbon inventory was formerly much greater than it is at present.
Would this affect C-14 ages?
In the current creation model it is postulated that a major part of the sedimentary rocks was deposited at the time of the Flood of Noah, as were most of the fossil fuel deposits. Dr. Robert H. Brown of Geoscience Research Institute estimates that at the time of the Flood, earth's circulating inventory easily could have been reduced by a factor of 1 to 127. If this happened, what are the consequences for C-14 ages? Simply this: With a circulating carbon inventory 127 times greater than at present, and assuming the current rate of C-14 production, the equilibrium C-14 concentration in living things prior to the Flood was 1/127th of the current value. This means that plants and animals that died and were buried and fossilized prior to or during the flood had only 1/127th as much C-14 in their carbon as do modern living organisms. Consequently, C-14 age estimates of such fossils would be too high by about 40,000 years! If, in addition, it is assumed that the earth's pre-flood C-14 magnetic field was four times greater than at present (not an unreasonable possibility), the resulting deflection of cosmic rays would have reduced the pre-flood C-14 production rate to about half the present rate. This would add an additional half-life, or about 6,000 years, to the error in C-14 age estimates for fossils interred at the time of the Flood or before. Thus, a fossil produced by the Flood, which is considered to have taken place perhaps 5,000 or more years ago, would now have an apparent C-14 "age" of at least 40,000 + 6,000 + 5,000 = 51,000 years. This is at the upper limit for the method and thus represents essentially an infinite C-14 age. [Note: New, more sensitive measures of C-14 content have some promise of extending the range of this method.]
If all of the necessary facts were known quantitatively, that is, how much carbon was buried and how strong the pre-flood magnetic field was, a correction factor could be deduced to correct all C-14 "ages" to values in the range consonant with the Genesis record of creation and the global catastrophic Flood of Noah.
What about carbon-14? We do not know the exact facts required to correct C-14 "ages" precisely. However, it is certain that the C-14 dating method does not prove that the evolutionary scenario for earth history is valid. It appears that the pertinent data can be accommodated to a very much shorter chronology that fits the Genesis account.

Try Not to Appear Desperate When You Are Trying to Get Your Ex Back
You imagine to yourself continuously, "I want to get my ex back." Therefore, you'll certainly be happy to understand that lots of all the old sayings pertaining to "true love" actually tend to be correct. Take into account, as an example, the one regarding how increasingly being far away from someone makes them adore you far more. At times it is true … especially when the down sides which could be present in between a couple tend to be little. They might seem to vanish when the couple is actually divided, and after that, all the other can remember will be the love which they sensed. Another one that makes a great deal of perfect sense will be the one regarding just letting go of something you really like, knowing that when it comes back, it really was supposed to be. Whenever it doesn't, then it was not. These items will be valid due to the fact love needs room for it to expand. What's more, it wants togetherness!
Since people tend to be hardwired to the extent that deficiency can, indeed, result in the heart develop fonder, there is significant belief that any striving connection that will ends up in some sort of breakup will in the end work out, especially if one within the folks in the partnership establishes a no contact rule, at the very least for a while. When that moment comes how the other party actually starts to recollect just how much they appreciated their own companion, that you can consider as among the top signs my ex still loves me, you'll certainly be where exactly you want to be. Explain to yourself that it is probably the 1st signs my ex wants me back. The actual thing to do from here out is usually to always maintain your cool.
Should you become needy, the item involving a person's love can go the other way. In case you perform hard to get, he will probably end up being intrigued, and can continue to chase one. Basically realizing that this is one way the actual characteristics operate in a romantic relationship, especially in the initial phases, is crucial. It's also important to recollect it when you finally reconcile. End up being the first of you to get up and move on sometimes. Make sure that there are other people and also interests inside your lifestyle besides simply him. Women are not aware just how compelled adult men come to feel when they feel they must be every little thing and anything to someone else.

Innocence lost forever that day
Cry as they did for the unkind blow
Fate driven by an unending evil
Death to the boy who all knew so well
John J. Raspanti
Chapter 1
The street seemed quieter then normal as I ambled along eyeing the old trees that lined the sidewalks. I looked across the street where Mrs. Jorgenson lived; expecting to see her tending to her garden, but instead all I saw was a darkened house with its drapes drawn. That's strange I thought, the woman's like clock work. I would see her everyday messing with her garden at approximately 12:15. I pulled out my cell phone…12:15. I grunted to myself and continued my stroll feeling no real urgency. I passed the King home but saw no signs of life there either. A gray cat appeared from somewhere and sat on the sidewalk directly in front of me. As I got closer the cat began to meow. The sound escaping the feline was darker then I was used to and sicker. I stopped, I'd lived up the street for years in a dilapidated old apartment building and walked this way hundreds of times, but I had never ever seen this cat. Its eyes were locked on mine. I crouched down and said 'It's okay kitty…nothing to be scared of". The cat's ears perked up a little and the meowing stopped. Success. The black eyes continued to stare me down. Did it ever blink? I looked across the street again thinking that maybe the cat lived over there. I could always cross the street and then make my way back, there was no way the cat would follow. I liked it, good plan. I stood up and took one step and glanced over at where the cat was sitting, but there was one problem.
The cat was gone.
Chapter 2
I walked the few steps where the cat had been, eying the nearby lawn and driveway. No feline , only the big old homes that shared space. I grunted again and shook my head, I mean cats can appear and disappear like tiny Houdinis so no big deal. It was now almost 12:25, I peeked back over at Mrs. Jorgenson's home wanting to see the kind old lady in her garden. But instead I felt something strange as my eyes moved about her beautifully tailored lawn and porch. I glanced up at where I knew her room was, hoping to see something resembling activity, but all I could see was a window and nothing else. I pondered going over there, but another part of my brain was telling me there was no need, she could just be out somewhere – at the store, or maybe with her daughter. That must be it, I was moving again. I felt the camera in my pocket next to the cell phone. I could feel some excitement return. I was determined to get some creative pictures of the old monstrosity, or as the local kids called it, the house. I guess you could say it's my hobby since my job was more boring then a soccer game. Yeah this was fun, these old homes have an abundance of character but none like the house.
I was close now and I scanned the house as I did every time I came by. It's huge, at least seven thousand square feet with fourteen rooms plus a basement and attic. There are three sets of pillars that once were beautiful but now, like the house itself are decaying and crumbling. On the second floor are more pillars and numerous windows, but there are no drapes on these windows. There boarded up and enclosed as is the front door. A yellow piece of tape stretches across the front of the porch warning of danger. I fingered my camera but felt the urge to get closer. I already had enough pictures from this angle. I needed something else. I stepped up and moved in, wondering if any of the neighbors were watching me. I could feel the hairs on the back of neck standing at attention. No matter, I moved closer to the large black window with a crack running horizontally down its center. I picked up a strange smell coming from some part of the house. Even though the window was cracked and layered with dirt and dust I could see inside. A big long room with material scattered about, and sheets thrown on the ground.
The smell was getting worse, I stepped away feeling myself retch and heard something above me. It was a faint sound but familiar and grew louder by the second. I moved backward and peered up at where I thought it was coming from. A scratching drew my attention to my left and then I saw what it was.
The gray cat was near the front door on top of one of the broken pillars, his black eyes boring a hole right through me. I felt the house creak as the cat turned and disappeared again.
Chapter 3
I stumbled towards the pillars and where the gray cat had been, and stopped in my tracks. The door to the old Franks' home was now wide open as if it was beckoning me to enter. All I could see was darkness behind the door. I looked out at the street again, expecting cars and more people, anything living. The street was there, but it was silent and without a car on it. The sidewalks were empty. The usual sound of the city had dissipated. I looked up at the sky and the clouds weren't rolling like they usually do. They had stopped like they were dead. I took in some air and looked back at the door. I had heard rumblings of the house being haunted. A twelve year old boy named Bobby Franks and his family had once lived there. Bobby had been murdered many years ago by two young men that he knew and liked, Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold. Loeb had lived almost directly across the street from Bobby and Leopold the next block over. They had followed Bobby one day after school, coaxed him into their car and the less than a block away from where I stood killed him. The crime shocked the city and for that matter the country. Leopold and Loeb were both brilliant college students, eighteen and nineteen years old with a future that could lead them anywhere they wanted. Instead they had decided to kill someone and that someone was little Bobby Franks. I continued to stare at the front door until behind me I felt a strong breeze move me a step forward. It didn't appear that I had a choice, I stepped into the darkness feeling my heart thumping and my senses on fire.
Pitch black.
Out of the black came noises all around me, scraping sounds and scratching. It sounded like it was coming from above me but who could tell? I tried to move but couldn't. My eyes had adjusted but the darkness was thick like fog on a very cold night. I felt some movement very close by, and asked myself what I was doing. I wasn't sure but I felt the urge to go and turned back towards the wide open door only to find the door was gone. I managed some more air and then jumped a few inches as something touched me. The something was standing right next to me but I still couldn't see what it was.
Chapter 4
I felt myself tense and knew my eyes had gone buggy. I could hear breathing next to me but still could see nothing. Something had its hand on my arm and was pulling me forward. I moved along like a drunk on stiffened legs. In front of me was some light and as I got closer it brightened which allowed me to see what had been pulling me forward.
What I saw shocked me, an old man dressed impeccably with a fedora and overcoat, button up shoes and a air of money. He wasn't very tall and when he moved there was no sound. He had glasses on and was looking into the next room.
"My room was upstairs" he said in a raspy voice.
"Who are you?" I managed.
"Robert Franks" he said and turned and looked at me. I could see tears rolling down his pasty skin.
My insides were in knots; he took off his hat and placed it somewhere.
"Bobby Franks?"
He nodded.
I swallowed "The Bobby Franks who was…murdered here?"
"Not here…young man…in a car" I could hear a slight Chicago accent.
"I'm seeing things" I muttered.
"No" his eyes had turned black like the cats. "I need you to do something for me"
I nodded because I couldn't think of anything to say.
"I need you to kill someone"
Chapter 5
"Kill some one" I said in a whisper.
Bobby Franks nodded…" Yes…it needs to be done"
I opened my mouth to reply but then stopped as I sensed something else in the room. A high pitched laughter bounced off the walls. The light that had been shining down moved away. I could see what was left of the stairs and noticed some kind of black hole near the center of the room. The floor began to rumble and the room changed colors, for a few seconds I saw in all it' former glory. A beautiful oak stairway leading up to the heavens, velvet furniture placed perfectly around the room.
Long and elegant drapes hanging in the windows and whispery voices coming from the walls. There was some music in the air, soft and sweet. I could see a little boy sitting in a chair with a baseball bat in his hand. It was his prized possession signed by the great Babe Ruth. The little boy gazed at it lovingly and then placed it in a case. He closed the case and stood. He was dressed in a black and white shirt, black jacket and dark short pants. He turned and faced me. He started to walk towards the front door, I reached out to stop him but felt nothing. He stopped at the door and looked back at me. I knew where he was going.
Bobby Franks was going outside to die.
Chapter 6
The total darkness was back. I sensed that he was waiting.
"Ok" I said to the darkness "Who do you want me to kill"
"The one who did this to me" replied a voice from the darkness. I had been expecting something raspy like before, but what I heard was a young boy's high pitched voice filled with dread and sorrow. I thought of my cousin Sean who had been murdered thirty years ago. He was only thirteen years old and one day disappeared. His body was found a few days later in a ditch disposed of like a piece of garbage. His killer or killers have never been found. Bobby Franks needed me.
"Bobby?" I said.
I heard a sound down the hall but still couldn't see anything. I now knew who he wanted me to kill. Richard Loeb had always said that Nathan Leopold had killed Bobby but the police, the prosecutor and all the experts who had studied the words and the killers were convinced it was most likely Loeb who had done the deed.
"You want revenge Bobby?" I asked.
"Freedom…from this"
The room felt as broken now as the outside of the house looked. How could the victim still be suffering? I didn't know how but I was determined to try and help Bobby. I looked down the hallway at where the boy had been but saw nothing.
"Bobby…I want to help you…but what can I do…how do I find Richard Loeb?"
"He's here…he's always here"
The little boy's voice shrieked 'He's standing right next to you!"
Something struck me and I was falling in slow motion landing in a soft place and then diving in and allowing the soothing darkness to take over.
Chapter 7
I woke up suddenly wondering if I was drowning. I was coughing and choking and had a headache. The light from before was back on, tracking something in the corner. I stood and tried to clear the cobwebs, my foot kicking something. I instinctively reached down and picked it up. It was hard and cold with a sharp edge. I was pretty sure I knew what it was. It had to be the chisel that Loeb had used to strike Bobby Franks repeatedly on the head.
I was holding death in my hand.
"Bobby" I whispered
"In your pocket…use the chisel to kill him"
The house creaked and groaned again as I reached over and felt the cell phone and then something soft. It was made of wool and had faded.
"Is this the sock that they stuffed in your mouth?" I asked already knowing the answer. I felt something breeze by me. Ok I had my answer. I had to kill Loeb – the same way he had killed Bobby.
Now how do you kill a ghost? I had no answer but I would try for Bobby and Sean and all the other innocent kids who had been murdered senselessly.
But still the overriding question was.
I picked up the chisel and started to walk slowly. The light had moved near me and in front – guiding me. I was heading towards the black hole and I had a pretty good idea who was in there waiting for me. As I got closer the light darted away like a laser in high mode. Red eyes looked back at me, red like fire and bristling with hate.
before his "What prey sir do you think you're going to do with that chisel…there's no fire in here"
"Kill you with it" I said feeling the hatred beginning to build.
"Kill me..You? His voice sounded flabbergasted before he began to cackle.
Chapter 8
A figure was past me in a flash as I felt some pain on my side. I could feel the blood, he had cut me. I turned back looking for his eyes, saw something to my right and lunged at it with the chisel. The same high pitched cackling laugh broke through the darkness.
"You can't catch me" he said mockingly.
I tried to move back into the light but felt something else lash out at me. I touched my neck and could feel something on my fingers.
The something was blood. No matter I owed it to the boy. The sounds around me were building, it felt almost like a celebration. Was he already celebrating my death? Would he talk to me?
"Why'd you do it Richard?"
"Why not"
"What about Leopold?"
"Oh Nate likes to portray himself as some innocent victim…but…he's as guilty as me" he snarled. I could see some kind of form to my right, I took a step forward.
I said "Leopold told everyone he was smarter than you ya know…smarter in all areas"
More cackling "Yeah…so smart he dropped his idiot glasses where we dumped Bobby"
Loeb was right, but I was playing to his ego. He was known as a narcissist. I took another step forward.
"You had everything Richard…you were rich…smart…the sky was the limit…why did you kill innocent Bobby Franks?"
"Innocent my eye…he was another one…that's why I thought of him…a brat…and his family walking around like they owned everything…my family had a bigger house"
"So you were jealous?"
"No!" he spat out his voice going up an octave and shaking the rafters. I took another step forward.
"Yes you were…admit it…that's why you enjoyed it so much"
Silence. I raised the chisel slowly.
"Richard" I said trying to see if the form was still there. I leaned forward and felt another slash as the blade stabbed my shoulder.
Chapter 9
The form was close but I could feel myself growing weaker. I thought about how my day began, feeling a need to take some pictures of the old house on the corner. How many people in the neighborhood even knew of its significance? Not many. Even the post woman didn't know, she knew the house but not the crime.
"You still alive?" his voice shook me out of my thoughts. He had to be right next to me, I lashed out with the chisel but felt nothing. I moved a little more out of fear, the light was shining above me on the ceiling. I needed it here illuminating Loeb but it stayed in one place. I heard some voices and glanced to my right expecting to see nothing but shadows. The shadows were dancing as the voices became more whispers, I thought of some children with a secret that only they knew. The pain was getting more intense, my legs were buckling; my grip on the chisel was weakening. I closed my eyes for a second and opened them slowly to another set of eyes inches away from mine, then a mouth that smiled. I could see the form had legs and arms.
It was holding something in its right hand.
I knew that face.
"Leopold" I croaked.
The eyebrows went up and the grin widened. He looked around nineteen years old. The face displayed no kindness.
"You know me" he said. His voice was deeper than Loeb's but flat with no emotion.
"Yeah" I slumped down to the ground and felt his presence invading me again. He was studying me like you would a specimen. His round face was turned sideways as he looked into my eyes.
"He's dying Dickie"
I blinked…scanning the darkness for Loeb. He appeared behind Leopold with a boyish grin on his face. I felt for the chisel but could only feel the cold floor where I had fallen.
"Why are you here Leopold?" I managed "thought you were innocent"
"I am to a degree" he said grinning sideways "But not entirely"
I felt something being pushed deep into my throat. I was gagging. What was it? Oh I know…a sock, yeah, a sock just like what they did to Bobby Franks. They killed him and stuck a sock down his throat. I reached up with my hands but couldn't feel anything. I tried to move but couldn't. Both of their faces were near me now, gazing at me like you would a priceless painting. Dang where was the chisel?
But I knew it was too late for me. I was slipping away and the boys were enjoying themselves once again.
Their laughter reverberated around the house.
Chapter 10
A loud sound like a shrill woke me from my slumber. Leopold's and Loeb's eyes were wide, their smiles gone and only there teeth were showing. Some of their skin was sliding off their faces as I heard a whooshing sound. Their mouths dropped off as did their eyes as the figure above them continued to swing away. Another sound like scurrying was happening as smaller figures danced about in a frenzy of delight. I smiled hoping the murderers could see me, above the figure I saw Bobby Franks who was holding hands with a younger version of himself.
They faded away as the sound slowly stopped. The figure was above me now as the light from above appeared. I could see the face, a sweetwarm face, a face of kindness and giving.
It was Mrs. Jorgenson, my surrogate mother. I felt the last vestiges of my strength go as I tumbled down into a deep darkness. I blinked up at the light above me and wondered what it all meant.
When I awoke the light blinded me. I was on a bed. A TV was mounted on the wall. I blinked trying to focus. I heard some movement and saw a woman sitting in a chair a few feet away from me.
"Jim…you're awake" she said and stood up, grabbing my hand. I could feel her warmth. She was over forty with short cropped hair. She was tall with a strong grip, I had seen her but…
"Am I in a hospital?" I asked weakly.
"Yes you are…you've been here over a week"
"A week" I said trying to grasp the reality.
"You almost died Jim"
I nodded trying to remember what had happened. The house, .Bobby Franks, Leopold and Loeb. It was fuzzy and muddled. I looked at the woman again.
"We've met"
She nodded "At my mother's house"
"Oh yes…how is your mother?" I asked
She turned away for a moment and said "She died Jim"
"Died" and then I started to remember it all.
Chapter 11
Her name was Chris and she was there to thank me for spending so much time with her mother. She then told me what had happened, how she came to visit her mother and found her upstairs in her room. She had passed away. She said she looked outside and could see me staggering across the street with blood on…well everything. I had collapsed in the middle of the street. Soon the police arrived asking questions. I was taken to the hospital. The police wanted to know why I had what looked like stab wounds on my body.
"I told them that you liked to take pictures of the old house on the corner and that maybe you had fallen or something. The place is dangerous" she squeezed my hand again and I felt myself liking it.
"I'm sorry about your mom" I said "She was a great lady"
"Thank you"
I sat up a bit and felt the pain shoot down my side. I didn't want to look at the damage yet.
"So what did the police say?"
She shook her head "They didn't buy my falling down theory, they thought you were mugged only your wallet wasn't taken"
"They around…the cops?" I tried to peer out into the hallway. I knew they would ask questions and I wasn't in the mood to answer them.
She shook her head "No…they got tired of waiting, they left their card for you"
I gazed at Chris's pretty face and contemplated what to say. I wanted to tell her that her mother was a hero, that she had set Bobby Franks free, and had sent Leopold and Loeb to hell. But if I did she would think I was loonier than the bin itself. I didn't even know if I believed it. Had it all really happened? Ghosts, demons, it was crazy.
Keep it to yourself Jimbo.
I said "Good…cause I can't remember what happened"
"Maybe that's good"
"Maybe it is" I lied.
"Strange thing though…when I found my mother she had something in her hand" her face was crinkled a bit in the corners.
I knew I was staring at her "What?"
"A chisel"
The End

isn't gypsum the same as calcium sulfate? I googled it and they use the words interchangeably
Close. Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium sulphate combined with water. Anhydrite is another calcium sulphate mineral that can be used like gypsum in the garden. Plaster of Paris is also calcium sulphate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_sulfate
