As is always the case, once I am outside I get to thinking about ways to spruce up my patio. If you are looking for some great ideas to kick start your outdoor living, here are some options to get you started.
Start on the ground. Spruce up your concrete slab by having it stained like the image below or covered over with another material. There are even tiles made from recycled tires that are installed directly over the concrete to give your patio a different look and feel.
|via Family Handyman
Update your furniture. Whether you repaint it, add new cushions or buy a new set, doing so can transform your outdoor space.
|via Grandin Road
Add color. Your outdoor space is a great way to experiment with color especially if you generally shy away from it on the inside.
|via BHG
Make walking barefoot more enjoyable by adding a colorful outdoor rug. It centers your seating area and adds a pop of color.
|via Ballard Designs
Set the mood. Adding lighting in the way of string lights, a chandelier or outdoor rated lamps to keep the party going well after dark. This one is solar powered so you don't have to worry about how to power it.
|via Target
Get out and enjoy the outdoors! Small changes can give your patio and entirely new look.
Happy decorating!

friendly staff, great food.
friendly staff, great food. I did not like breakfast only being available between 8 and half eight
sptoless, friendly, cheerful atmosphere and made to feel very welcome - would definately stay again and recommend to friends and family
I realize that I paid 20 pounds more than usual price just because I booked through U. The price was very high for the low vallue.
very pleasant , food brill , staff great , clean, management very helpful ,my wife and i had an unforgetable honey moon , thank you
Very friendly owners (married couple)- most accommodating. Great breakfast. Location close to beach and restaurants, On-street parking voucher available from owners.
Owners most hospitable and did all they could to make our stay comfortable. Spacious room and delightfully quiet - we were at the back. Breakfast very nice. Question 1 reply to comfort ranges between good and excellent. It was a bit cold during the day before the central heating came on. When it did, it was very comfortable. Bed took a bit of sorting out as we did not realise at first that it was 2 singles put together, slightly different height! Fine otherwise. Two singles togethere is a comfortable idea.
Nice clean room with friendly staff having breakfast bewtween 8:30 and 9:00 am on a Sunday is not great

Like a boomerang thrown by a vengeful ghost on a carousel, unwanted hair always returns. End the cycle with today's Groupon: for $95, you get six laser hair-removal treatments on one area at Signature Institute of Aesthetic Sculpting in Henderson (up to a $549 value). This deal is valid for hair removal on the upper lip (a $375 value), chin (a $425 value), neck (a $525 value), ears (a $375 value), underarms (a $525 value), or bikini line (a $549 value).
Under the guidance of head surgeon Dr. Himansu Shah, Signature Institute of Aesthetic Sculpting's hair-hunting professionals create smoother, sexier skin-scapes on both women and men. After a consultation with an aesthetician to discuss your desired results and mutual idolatry of Kojak, bristle busters will put their cosmic prowess to use, focusing on a single region selected by the patient. The process begins as each hair is targeted by a beam of pulsating light, fooling the strand into performing a dramatic monologue and distracting it as the laser heats the follicle into a state of hibernation. A minimally discomforting procedure, the treatment requires no anesthesia and produces long-lasting results, bestowing bodies with newfound aerodynamicism just in time for summer ice-luging season.
CoupFlip is a marketplace for people to buy and sell deals from "daily deal" (also known as "group buying") sites such as Groupon.

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
Unless you've been trapped under a rock the last couple days, you've heard about the disturbing story of a Dallas police officer detaining former Eagles running back Ryan Moats for 13 minutes as he was driving to see his dying mother-in-law. The officer, 25-year-old Robert Powell, initially maintained that he acted appropriately, but he's now had a change of heart. Through his Dallas-based attorneys, he made the following statement:
"I wish to publicly and sincerely apologize to the Moats family, my colleagues in the Dallas Police Department and to all those who have been rightfully angered by my actions on March 18, 2009. After stopping Mr. Moats' vehicle, I showed poor judgment and insensitivity to Mr. Moats and his family by my words and actions. With great remorse I accept my responsibility for adding to their grief in an already difficult time.
"I have attempted to reach Mr. Moats to express my personal condolences directly to his family and my regret about my actions. While these efforts have been unsuccessful so far, I hope we can talk soon.
"Again, I am very sorry for what I did and ask for the forgiveness of all those touched by these unfortunate events."
If you've watched the video, you know those weren't "unfortunate" events, they were horrifying. I'm not sure where I stand on whether Powell should be fired over what happened, but I certainly think he should be taken off the street for a good while.

Michael Kaeshammer at The Dream Cafe

- Event Cost: Premium – $59 Wings – $44
Michael Kaeshammer has been part of the Penticton summer music calendar at the Dream Café for 12 years running. Always a pleasure to host.
No Filter is the eleventh album from Michael. This is the sound of an artist following his muse completely unhindered by thoughts of commercial imperatives or genre constraints.
The prolific Vancouver Island-based singer/songwriter/pianist/producer has earned a loyal international following as a triple threat. He's a piano virtuoso with a technical mastery of many different styles, an eloquent singer/songwriter, and a charming and engaging performer.
On No Filter, Michael mixes his well-crafted and melodic original songs with a couple of evocative piano instrumentals, and the result is a delightfully varied collection.
Kaeshammer has completely come to terms with his eclectic taste in music, something showcased on the record."The songs here are just things I wanted to write," he explains. "If they sound as if they have been influenced by a lot of different things, then that is just the way it is. To me, it just sounds like my music."
On No Filter, Michael takes the listener on a highly entertaining journey through refreshingly diverse musical terrain. It begins, fittingly enough, with "Letter From the Road", a buoyant and upbeat romp with exuberant horns and Michael in top boogie-woogie form. "Nothing Seems To Reach You" has rich dynamics via the combination of horns, organ and backing vocals, and it also showcases Michael's smooth and soulful voice….read more here

Easy come, easy go!
My $600 stimulus money was posted to my checking account Tuesday. Wednesday, my landlord finally got around to cashing my May rent check of $575. Whatta joke! I know the $600 is still extra money, but seeing those two transactions side by side can't help but make me feel like I only made out with 25 bucks. Maybe I'll use the $25 on a couple bottles of gin and hole up in my apartment in a drunken stupor until we have a new President. This whole stimulus thing is a freaking joke anyways. There is a great blog, How I Spent my Stimulus, that is worth checking out. I'll probably post to it once I figure out how I want to spend the money. Current contenders: credit card bill, plane ticket to Detroit, pet rodent adoption fee, MPR membership, Obama campaign donation, private purchase of some kind, medical bills or some combination thereof.

First tincaps game of the year
We take in more than several games a year. It's a nice way to enjoy being outside, do some people-watching, and we usually get a little exercise by strolling the concourse several times.
It occurred to me last night, though, that often times people will hear us talk about how much we enjoy these games, and they perhaps think it's because of the 'game.' Not that there's anything wrong with the baseball team, or baseball in general, but our enjoyment has very very little to do with the actual game. Most of the time we have no idea who is wins or loses.
For us, or at least me, the enjoyment is just what I said earlier: we like being outside among people, and maybe even more than that, being together. I actually like crowds. Not that I want to be 'crowded' - I need my personal space - but for some odd reason I like being in crowded arenas, sports and/or music venues, and, yes, even church. Although it makes a difference if I am with my bride or not.
So, I guess that's really all there is to say about that.
We arrived last night just as they were singing the national anthem. We were going to buy lawn seats ($5) but they were sold out, so we had to buy the $8 tickets. We don't usually actually sit in seats when it's just the two of us. We each had 2 tacos for supper, and 2 beers over the course of a couple hours. I think it was the 5th inning when we'd had our fill and left.
As for parking... what with all the new construction downtown, we actually parked at the Y where Jane works. It was a bit longer of a walk than we thought, but it was a nice night and we didn't mind. It was also free.

Video processing for surveillance and security applications has become a research hotspot in the last decade. This paper reports a research into volume-based segmentation techniques for video event detection. It starts with an introduction of the structure in 3D video volumes denoted by spatio-temporal features extracted from video footages. The focus of the work is on devising an effective and efficient 3D segmentation technique suitable to the volumetric nature of video events through deploying innovative 3D clustering methods. It is supported by the design and experiment on the 3D data compression techniques for accelerating the pre-processing of the original video data. An evaluation on the performance of the developed methods is presented at the end.

Sometimes I still hear the insistent screeching, like an angry flock of birds or the screaming of the wind in a hurricane. It's the same unearthly noise that millions of bat-like creatures made as they swarmed out of the open gates of hell in a horror movie I saw once. But now the noise only creeps in at the edges of my consciousness during quiet moments, like a barely remembered bad dream. It's one of the many strange sounds in my head that have come and gone since the day I woke up with severe hearing loss several years ago.
On that day, though I could barely hear in the real world, I awoke to a cacophony in my head. I've since learned these sounds were a side effect from the kind of sudden hearing loss I encountered. They were different and louder than the tinitus, or ringing in the ears, that I had always lived with. It was not painful, but it was very distracting. It was as if a loud construction site was outside my window, with jack hammers, dump trucks and other heavy machinery going at full volume. These noises receded in the first several months after the hearing loss, but as they settled into a constant background presence, others came to the fore, which collectively created a never-ending and constantly changing symphony of sound.
One noise, a familiar high-pitched whine, comes and goes. It took me a while to recognize what it reminded me of, but then I realized it's exactly like someone working with a gasoline-powered chain saw on a tree somewhere in the neighborhood, with the whine rising and falling as the saw works its way through the wood, then occasionaly dropping down to a much lower pitch as it idles when the blade chain isn't engaged. Another sound, which maintains a constant pitch and volume day and night, is equally familiar and took me nearly as long to place. If you're my age, you may have watched Sky King, one of the early weekly dramas in the 1950s that helped usher out TV's Golden Age. My main memory is of the hero always in trouble as he piloted his two-engine prop over Texas, radioing his assistant Penny who was by turns cool as a cucumber and mortally terrified. In the background you would hear the constant high-pitched hummmmmmm of the plane's engines. The hum never seemed to end and in fact got in the way of my enjoyment of the show. It's the same sound effect 1950s movies about World War II fighter pilots used.
These noises join a number of others. All seem to reside somewhere in the middle of my head. More gravitate toward the left side, where my hearing is much worse, but if I concentrate hard I can isolate which noises seem to emanate from what ear. In addition to the airplane engine that is a constant on the left side, and the chain-saw whine that comes and goes on the right side, there is an ongoing, high-pitched "hissing" on both sides that is like the tinnitus noise I always experienced, but much louder. Then, on the left again, there is a not-unpleasant bubbling exactly like the sound an air-filter pump makes in a small tropical fish tank. There is also a steady buzzing like the loud electrical hum you hear from a transformer on a telephone pole when you're walking down a quiet country lane on a hot summer day.
I'm told the noises are after-effects from the damage my hearing nerves suffered when excess fluid from my Meniere's disease created pressure in my inner ears, and when my auto-immune system went haywire and dispatched anti-bodies to attack them. My otolaryngologist (an ear, nose and throat specialist who is also a surgeon) told me my injured hearing organs are much like an aging football player's arthritic knees. Every once in a while, the old injuries will act up, there will be a little swelling, and the sounds in my head will get louder. I liked this analogy because it sounded somewhat macho. But the problem with damage to your inner ears is that, unlike your knees, there's not a heck of a lot of room for swelling in there. So it doesn't take much of a change in the weather, the onset of allergy season or more than a touch of a common cold for the noises in my head to start acting up.
There is one more effect I've experienced from the sounds in my head. I hesitate to mention it because it's so strange. For over a year after my sudden hearing loss, I heard a musical chord that played constantly, like an organ that was stuck. The chord's key would change occasionally in discernible ways; I could even hum the various notes of the chord in whatever key my brain had set it to play that day. It was very, very weird and more than a little unsettling, but at least the chord always seemed to be in tune and harmonious. (It was unlike my experience with music generated in the real world, which was and remains a complete discordant jumble of noise because of the distortion of my hearing). After living with this musical chord for several months, I discovered that if I used a strange filtering trick I found my brain could play, I was able to physically select the tones that I would hear most loudly and suppress the others, and thereby "play" simple songs in my head. This wasn't the familiar process of humming to oneself or remembering a tune. It was using the real sounds in my head to make actual music that my inner ear would generate and my brain would hear. One morning I played God Bless America successfully from beginning to end, using this newly learned trick of filtering and calibrating the music in my ears to specific tones. I played it several times.
But then, to my horror, I couldn't turn the song off. It repeated itself constantly throughout the day, and in quiet moments it was the most prominent thing I heard. God Bless America continued playing into the next morning before I finally figured out how to turn it off. By thinking hard about a complicated Bach fugue my father used to play on the piano, I was able to program my brain to replace God Bless America with the most prominent of the four melodies in the fugue. For a while, my brain got stuck repeating the new melody. But when I tried to direct the musical tones in my head to intertwine the four tunes in the fugue in the way Bach had written it, the music became scrambled for a short time, then locked back into the familiar chord. All I can figure is that my futile attempt to recreate the fugue had somehow disrupted the endless cycle. Bach's complex composition had overwhelmed the capacity of my brain to fully comprehend it, as it has so many others over the centuries. Thankfully the chord receded in prominence in the first year after my sudden hearing loss. I can still occasionally program tunes in my head, but the chord is much less intrusive than it was. It remains one of the strangest things I've ever experienced.
I've done a lot of reading on tinnitus and the other noises that the hearing organs spontaneously generate in the brain. Unfortunately, about all I've learned is that there is precious little known or understood about the whys and hows of this effect. I suppose it's awfully hard to study something that in many instances can only be described by the person experiencing the phenomenon. Because the noise resides entirely in the brain, it must be difficult if not impossible to isolate and measure with today's diagnostic equipment. But my quest for understanding will continue. I would love to hear from other people who've had their own experiences with the noises that inhabit their heads.

Shier had close look at Cal Ripken Jr.
: : Story
Jim Ecker
Saturday, October 10, 2009
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Imagine being 18 years old, a young shortstop in the Baltimore Orioles organization, and you're taking ground balls and talking baseball in spring training with Cal Ripken Jr., the Iron Man of baseball who broke Lou Gehrig's record.
The Year is 2000. Your name is Pete Shier.
"It was kind of cool, and scary at the same time, to go to spring training with Cal Ripken Jr.," Shier said Friday at the WWBA Underclass World Championship, where he's coaching the Phoenix Bat team from Ohio. "He walked right in, and there's a future Hall of Famer, and he gave me some pointers. I felt like I didn't know anything, after everything that he was showing me. It was great to be a part of the organization that whole time."
Shier, 28, spent eight years with the Orioles, all in the minor leagues. He was a shortstop, but his timing wasn't real good. Ripken had already moved from shortstop to third base by the time Shier joined the organization, but he later got stuck behind all-star shortstop Miguel Tejada on the depth chart. Later, when Shier signed with Philadelphia as a free agent in 2007, the Phils had an all-star shortstop of their own in Jimmy Rollins.
Imagine that. He got to learn from Ripken, Tejada and Rollins, three of the best in the business.
Shier kept toiling in the minor leagues, but three knee surgeries, including a pair of torn ACLs, led to his retirement after a Double-A campaign with the Phils in 2007. He has great memories, however, including that first spring training with the O's in 2000.
"I was 18 years old, and Mr. Ripken -- that's what I called him, Mr. Ripken -- he kept saying, 'Call me Cal, call me Cal,'" Shier related. "Being a shortstop, I got to spend basically every day with him in spring training, for a good four or five years. It was really nice, and he kind of took me under his wing. He was great."
Shier called Ripken a "presence," both for his aura and physical size (6-foot-5, 230).
"And it was intimidating," Shier said. "It was kind of like, 'Man, he doesn't miss a ground ball, he's so smooth.' And I'm rushing things."
Ripken broke Gehrig's record for most consecutive games when he played in his 2,131st straight on Sept. 6, 1995. Ripken kept going and raised the mark to 2,632 before finally skipping a game on Sept. 20, 1998. Shier was drafted by Baltimore in June of 1999 and went to spring training the next year.
Shier said Ripken didn't talk about the streak in the clubhouse or on the field. "Never at all," he said.
Ripken had a simple point of view, according to Shier. He was a professional ballplayer who got paid to play, every day. It was his job, and he took great pride in doing it well. Every single day. It was as simple as that.
"I wanted to idolize that, being able to play, day after day after day after day, and be like Ripken in that way," Shier said. Unfortunately, his knee injuries got in the way.
Shier and Ripken became friends, and Ripken has invited him to participate in events together, something Shier greatly appreciates.
Shier, who is from Columbus, Ohio, put the Phoenix Bat team together this fall to give players from Ohio a chance to play in showcase events like the WWBA tournament in Fort Myers. Now that his playing days are over, he'd like to get into scouting or coaching at the college or professional level.
He never made the big leagues as a player, but he has lots of good memories, especially of the man he used to call Mr. Ripken and now calls Cal.

The idea is to keep children and teenagers from being able to use the gun. An example, the teen charged in Georgia school shooting might have stolen his weapons from his parents. But will trigger locks make any difference? They may not, reports CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews.
At his gun store in Virgina, Heyward Long shows a visitor the kind of trigger lock the Senate's safe lock amendment would call for. It is locked with a key, and it blocks the trigger. The problem, Long says, is that gun owners don't want to fumble with a key if they need the weapon in a pinch. "90% of them are gonna take it off and not use it," , he says. Legally, the buyer could actually throw the lock away.
If the Senate proposal becomes law, handguns would have to be sold with safety devices or trigger locks -- but with no requirement that buyers actually use them. In other words, the safe lock amendment won't make guns safe, and doesn't mean guns will be locked.
On this point, the NRA and the gun control lobby agree. Both see the law as ineffective.
"The law does not go far enough. because it does not affect the design of the product itself," says Dennis Hennigan of the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence.
Hennigan points out that there are several technologies, fingerprint access for example, or combination locks on the grip, that would make guns more childproof. The Senate is not demanding that these be used.
Sen. Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, the author of the law, agrees the measure isn't perfect but in the politics of gun control, he argues, it is a critical start. "It's a way in which parents, if they wish, from now on can see to it and insure that when a hand gun is not being used, it can be locked up and stored," he says. "I think that's a big accomplishment."
Gun control advocates say the law would prevent some accidental deaths. But in three of the school shootings, Paducah, Jonesboro and now Conyers, there is evidence the weapons were stolen -- and no one believes trigger lock legislation will stop that.

PHILADELPHIA & CHARLOTTE, N.C. - US Airways, with major hubs in Charlotte, N.C., and Philadelphia, became the first major airline to declare bankruptcy, announcing the decision on Aug. 11, exactly eleven months after the terrorist hijackings.
Limousine operators in these major hub cities are bracing for what could turn into a detrimental situation, should airlines begin cutting back on flights. Andy Thompson, who operates a limousine company in Charlotte, a major US Airways hub, said he is not yet concerned about business being affected because the airline has yet to make flight cutbacks.
"Our corporate people are going to continue to fly and the majority of our regular/repeat business is corporate flyers, who have to get to and from," he said.
Thompson estimates that airport trips make up about 65 percent of his business.
Should the airline make cuts, he expects to see a similar situation to what happened after Sept. 11. "We had a lot more people taking local trips and provided ground transportation to surrounding areas like Raleigh and Atlanta. If the airlines cut back we will do more out of town trips with our buses," said Thompson, who has four minibuses, as well as sedans and limousines.
"After Sept. 11 we made revenue on long distance trips," he added.
Adam Greene, operations manager for Park Avenue Luxury Limousine in Philadelphia, said that flight cutbacks in Philadelphia would hopefully be picked up by another airline.
"It won't be as many direct flights, it would all be going through another city, but that's just the way it'll have to be done," he said. Greene added that although the major airlines come through Philadelphia, they would not offer as many flights as US Airways, who uses the city as a hub.
"Pittsburgh is another hub and we're hoping, if anything happens, we could feed off that because Pittsburgh is so close," he said.
Joan Martin, who operates a operation on the outskirts of Charlotte, said that US Airways recently stopped operating one of their flight segments between Charlotte and Hickory, N.C.
"The people who used to ride that plane are either getting rental cars, driving themselves, or having us make several stops," Martin said. She charges $85 for the 50-plus mile trip.
United Airlines announced on Wednesday, August 14 that it might file for bankruptcy protection by mid-November if it did not receive concessions within a month, according to the New York Times. Operators in Chicago are not as worried because the area is a busy one for air travel and more than just one airline makes multiple flights into and out of the airport.
The luxury motorcoach OEM and trade group address one of the industry's biggest challenges.
Vonlane, which calls itself a private jet on wheels, now connects Austin and Fort Worth.
The TNC's license will expire Sept. 30 as it claims to have some 3.5 million users and about 40,000 drivers in the city.
The show featured nearly 135 exhibitors and close to 60 vehicles, and some of the latest technologies available to operators.
CDC data shows they are the most likely workers to die on the job because of violent crime risks.

Max Cussons picks ten of his favourite albums released 2015
10. The Wonder Years - No Closer To Heaven.
Largely abandoning their winning formula displayed on previous records of positive, bright pop-punk, this time around The Wonder Years are far more morose. It could've ended up being alienating and awkward for their fans but instead is a record that is emotionally invigorating, touching on themes of death and loss in such a raw manner. Overall a daring move which pays off.
9. Super Luxury - Ten Solid Years Of Applause.
One of the funniest live bands now have an album of noise rock bangers to go with their bonkers shows. Be it the slow and heavy songs or those loose and speedy, this is a fun exercise in raw, loud guitar music and a senseless racket to just lose yourself in.

Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China
|Vol. 17 No. 3 June 2007
(School of Materials Science and Engineering, North University of China,
Taiyuan 030051, China)
Abstract:A type of polymer-coated molybdenum powder used in selective laser sintering technology was prepared by coating polymer on molybdenum particles and frozen grinding techniques, with the maximum particle diameter of 71 μm. The laser sintering experiments of polymer-coated molybdenum powder were conducted by using the self-developed selective laser sintering machine (HLRP-350I). The method of microscopic analysis was used to investigate the dynamic laser sintering process of polymer-coated molybdenum powder. Based on the study, the laser sintering mechanisms of polymer-coated molybdenum powder were presented. It is found that the mechanism is viscous flow when the laser sintering temperature is between 100 ℃ and 160 ℃, which can be described by a two-sphere model; and the mechanism is melting /solidification when the temperature is above 160 ℃.
Key words: selective laser sintering (SLS); mechanism; polymer-coated molybdenum powder; viscous flow; melting/solidification

From the bloggers at Ramblin' Man.
Yesterday I had lunch with a delightful friend. I met Beverly Malland a number of years ago and we have remained friends over the years and distance of my travels. She has lived in Anacortes, Wash.,or lots of years.
After lunch I stopped for a cold beer at the Eagles Club which has been in this building since 1923. This is where Bev and I met. See the guy on the corner playing the banjo…that's her father Rudy Malland.
Rudy Malland (1916-2002) was known in the area as The Banjo King and local lore has it that he wore out six banjos during his career…

Levitating Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speakers
ICE Portable Wireless Floating Bluetooth Speaker
- Floating Speaker Orb spinning above a magnetic base
- Special sound guide cone designed to increase 3D surround effect
- Bluetooth speaker floating in the air with 10mm ground clearance
- Built-in NFC function -any smartphone or tablet with NFC function can pair automatically
- Levitation technology user under license from Levitation Arts, Inc.
Well, the creators of the floating speakers went one step further and added style and levitation to this wireless feature. The result – we have a very cool and stylish looking wireless levitating speaker. This is a great addition to your house or even office. But more than that it is a cool gift idea for your kid, friend or a loved one. And according to the customers once they bought it as a gift they decided to get one for themselves.
Though being small, this levitating speaker produces very good quality and rich volume sounds. Because of its special sound guide cone and levitation it gives you a 3D sound effect. Coupled with multicolour flashing LED lights it does make a difference to the way you listen to your music. All you need to do is to pair it with a Bluetooth device. It also plays music through Spotify, Google Play, iTunes, Pandora, Music Hub, etc. And if you no longer want levitation, you can simply take the orb and carry it with you wherever you need. It has a battery life of 500mAh that allows you to use it up to 8 hours playtime.
For levitation it has easy and simple to follow steps:
- Turn the base on and put it on a flat surface
- Holding the orb in your hands slowly lower it to the centre of the base
- When you feel it started to levitate let go
You can also make it spin by rotating it once to your desired direction.
However the main feature that allows your speaker to float in the air is also the trickiest part. It might be difficult sometimes to make it levitate especially if you are doing it for the first time. Your device can suffer from a few fails and falls at first. So follow the instruction carefully. Also bear in mind that unlike regular speakers these have to be charged.

Robinson Street horror rerun in Nadia farmer's home
Two brothers kept the skeleton of their mother on a bed in the same room where they lived.kolkata Updated: Sep 12, 2016 10:39 IST
Nearly 15 months after Kolkata woke up to the horror of the Robinson Street skeletons case, it was the turn of a small, non-descript village in Nadia district in South Bengal to witness a rerun of sorts of that infamous episode on Sunday.
Two brothers, both over 50, were living under the same roof in Simhat village of Haringhata with their mother's body for nearly nine months after her death. The tragedy came to light only after a group of villagers forcibly entered the house after growing suspicious about the whereabouts of the woman, a widow, whom they had not seen since the middle of January.
Nanibala Saha had died on January 16 at the age of 90.
Read: Now you can book your stay beside Kolkata's 'Skeleton House
She had been living in that house with her two bachelor sons, 65-year-old Arun Saha and 55-year-old Ajit Saha for many years after her husband's death. After her death, her two sons, both in a state of acute depression over the loss, refused to cremate her, put her body on her bed, and kept the entire incident secret.
Villagers said the family had enough property and farmland as well as a steady income from agriculture — that was essentially taken care of by sharecroppers — to see the two brothers through for all these months without interacting much with other villagers.
Whenever anyone enquired about their mother and wanted to meet her, the brothers would say that she was good but not inclined to meet anyone. Then, over time, the locals noted that the two were becoming increasingly unsocial, and started doubting the duo's state of mental health.

Many villagers also started wondering whether the woman was alive. Their patience was growing thinner by the day and on Sunday some of the villagers confronted the two to know the truth.
Rupak Adhikari, a neighbour of the Sahas who barged into the house, told HT, "Today, we wanted to see the woman to check out whether she was alive in the first place and, if yes, than how well or ill she was. But her sons obstructed us. It was then that we forcibly entered the house, only to find her severely decomposed body… it was actually a skeleton lying on the bed."
The horrified villagers informed the police who detained the two brothers for questioning, sent the remains of the body for forensic tests, and registered a case of unnatural death.

Meanwhile, curious villagers and even people from nearby villages and towns started to troop into the village to see the new 'house of horrors', rekindling memories of the Robinson Street case of Kolkata in June 2015.
Incidentally, Partha Dey, the person who lived in the house on Robinson Street in a plush area of south Kolkata with the skeletons of his sister and two pet dogs, was under intensive psychiatric treatment for several months before he was discharged from a mental hospital in the city.
Dey is a trained software engineer and used to work for a reputable IT firm.
