Description :
Arrival Delhi & proceed to Haridwar :Arrival at the railway station/airport & proceed for the city.
Haridwar - Gateway to the Lord. One of the holiest Hindu pilgrim sites on the banks of the sacred river Ganga, Hardiwar is a bustling town with crowded markets, a multitude of temples, ashrams and ghats overflowing with pilgrims desirous of attaining a measure of salvation - in this life or in the next one.
Visit Har-ki-Pauri which literally means footsteps of God. Lined with temples and guesthouses looking on to the river, the ghats (river landings for bathing) have worshippers bathing early in the morning and the spectacular Ganga Arti (worship of the river Ganga with lamps) in the evenings. In the distance are the Himalayan peaks, and all around forests and hill shrines. The atmosphere, the rituals and the view around Haridwar all serve to give the uninitiated a glimpse into Hindu religious philosophy.
Evening is at lesiure to walk along the Ganges & explore the colourful bazaars. Dinner & overnight at Haridwar.
Description :
24 kms upstream on the banks of the Ganga where it is met by the Chandrabhaga is the holy town of Rishikesh. Literally, Rishi's (holy man) locks, this small town is the point where the holy Ganges crashes down in full glory onto huge boulders and creates long stretches of white sandy beaches. The banks are lined with ashrams, where saints and holy men rested before beginning their arduous pilgrimage up into the snow-covered land of the gods. Rishikesh is essentially a combination of five different districts- Rishikesh the commercial centre, Muni-ki-reti in the quiet suburbs, Shivananda Nagar to the north, Lakshmanjhula with its holy shrines and Swarg Ashram where most of the ashrams are located.
Post breakfast commence sightseeing tour.Visit the Triveni Ghat, in the centre of town is the most prominent bathing ghat in Rishikesh. With its modern images of Hindu deities and white sandy beach, the ghat is ideal for a dip in the holy waters of the Ganga early morning.The Bharat Mandir near Triveni Ghat is reputed to be the oldest temple in Rishikesh. The temple's presiding deity is a black stone Vishnu, which is believed to have been consecrated by Adi Shankaracharya when he visitedRishikesh in the 9th century. This occasion is commemorated with special celebrations on the day of Basant Panchami, the spring festival.
Swarg Ashram, with its numerous ashrams, food stalls and shops is a haunt for those looking for insights into religious themes. The newly constructed Ram Jhoola straddles the Ganga at this point. You can also make a river crossing on the ferries that run during the day. Important shrines and ashrams at Swarg Ashram include Kali Kumbliwale founded by Swami Vishudhananda, Parmarth Niketan with large statues of gods and goddesses and the Gita Bhavan with its Ayurvedic dispensary and shop selling religious books and cotton Khadi.
About 2 kms upstream is the old footbridge called Lakshmanjhula, named after the brother of Lord Rama. Temples line both sides of the river at Lakshmanjhula.
To the northeast is the area of Muni-ki-reti. Along the banks of the Chandrabhaga river, this area with its secluded white sand beaches is ideal for swimming. Boat rides on the river near Swarg Ashram are a pleasant diversion, and you can feed the fish that cluster around pilgrims throwing balls of wheat flour into the waters. Dinner and Overnight at Haridwar.
Description :
Post breakfast drive to Mussoorie often known as the "Queen of Hills" & check into your hotel.
Commence your city tour with Gun Hill, a curious flat-topped hill is the second highest peak of Mussoorie. You can reach it on foot or on a pony by a bridle path from the Mall. Alternatively a 400 metre ropeway takes you up to the hilltop on a scintillating journey with great views. From the hilltop you get to see some of the more prominent peaks including Banderpunch, Srikanth, Pithwara and the Gangotri group. In colonial times, a gun placed on the summit used to fire at mid-day for locals to adjust their watches.
Visit the Camel's Back road, a 3-km road encircling the base of Gun Hill is also a good place to view the breathtaking Himalayan sunset. Named after a nearby rock formation that looks like a camel's back, a walk or pony ride along this road yields the sights of snow mountains.
Later visit Clouds End, the English chateau built in 1838 and one of the first buildings to come up in Mussoorie is tucked away about 8 kms from the Library. Now converted into a holiday resort, the house is surrounded by dense forests and views of snow peaks and the River Yamuna.
Evening a stroll on the Mall road for souvenir shopping. Dinner & overnight at Mussoorie.
Description :
Post breakfast visit Childer's Lodge, the highest point in the area. Reached by foot or on ponies, the summit offers great views of snow peaks.
Later try skating at the skating rink at Kulri Bazaar, built in an old British theatre.
Visit Kempty Falls, 15 kms from Mussoorie on the new road to Yamunotri. A bath in the pool at the foot of the falls is a must-do for tourists thronging the spot. Steps lead down to the pool around which tea stalls, shops selling towels and bathing suits have come up.
Evening free to explore the mall.Dinner & overnight at Mussoorie.
Description :
Post breakfast check-out from the hotel and drive back to Delhi with sweet memories of your tour.

Amateur players gambling with their futures
ESPN Staff
December 5, 2013
Duncan Bell takes the plaudits after his final game for Bath ... but he was to find the world of amateur rugby as hard © Getty Images
Former England prop Duncan Bell has told the Gloucester Citizen that amateur rugby players need to get insurance in case they get hurt on the pitch.
A vast majority of club players have no insurance, so if they get seriously injured and are unable to work they are too often left high and dry. The newspaper cited the example of a local uninsured player who dislocated his shoulder last weekend and so is unable to carry on his work as a self-employed plumber.
Bell, who played top-flight rugby for 18 years now and now runs Lydney, said that in his first season after retiring as a professional he broke an eye socket and was unable to work for three months. "Luckily I had protection and could continue to pay my mortgage and look after my family," he told the newspaper. "My father urged me to see a financial adviser as soon as I started earning a wage. And I'm glad he did.
"I cannot understand why anyone would play contact sport week in week out without protection and insurance," Bell told the newspaper. "Most of these players play it for the love of the sport and I would say 50% of my squad are self-employed.
"If you break your leg or dislocate your shoulder, you can't drive. You cannot work. It is not a lot of money to insure yourselves. Everyone thinks, 'It won't happen to me'. Insurance is the biggest waste of money in the world, until you need it. Then it is worth its weight in gold.
"I took it for granted when I was a professional, as it was in my contract. But as soon as I started playing amateur rugby, I made sure I was covered. Rugby players need cover and protection, especially if they've got kids, and a mortgage to pay."
But a sign of the difficulty of getting his point across was brought home to Bell when he texted all his club's players after last weekend to highlight the need for insurance. Only two players responded.

Female ASP
Along the same lines... http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vi...rfers.cnn.html
A rather ridiculously uniformed interview and I'm actually surprised to see Lakey instigating this. She should be stoked to get $15k for surfing no better than most of us surf at our local breaks. If they could truly "beat the boys" as is claimed in the video, girls would be allowed in every event and would be competing for the dollars awarded the top ATHLETE (not male or female) in our sport.
Alas, another one of my pet peeves rears its ugly head...
Sep 25, 2013, 01:44 PM #3
The final was great--managed to catch it while eating breakfast. Tyler Wright got a 10 with a sick frontside slob air in her first maneuver and a sick power bash with some smaller turns and such mixed in.
As good as the best guy aerialists? Nope, but still probably the biggest air pulled in the whole comp. Lakey had a nice rail grab reverse I saw on HOD. Regardless, they are pushing the envelope.

i've read a couple posts about the not liking the thickness and chewing fondant- that was me. At my last wilton class, the instructor told us to frost the cake as normal, then rolling the fondant REALLY thin and putting it on the cake as normal; put it in the fridge and let it sit for a while. I have to say, I actually enjoyed eating the fondant and frosting. The instructor said she had learned this at the Atlantic City Cake Convention (not sure if that's the proper name).
I haven't tried Michelle's fondant but I have tried MMF. I'll have to make it sometime!
Well i have to say after reading this forum I am ready to give MFF a try. I've been using MMF now for a while and love it people are really surprised to have a fondant that doesn't taste awful. Now my question is about gelatin. Where can you buy it? Can you buy just reg gelatin not flavored jello? hahaha silly question i know but im still fairly new to all of this. Next is glycerin. Once again im at a lost on where to find this stuff. and now my last and final question. Tylose powder. is that the same as gum tex? Do you find its easier purchasing from like or from your local cake shop? Thanks for your help cant wait to try it.
You can buy plain gelatin in the grocery stores. It is normally in a box (size of jello) near the jello isle and powdered sugar and/or marshmallows. http://brands.kraftfoods.com/knox/
I believe you can by glycerin on the Wilton isle at Joann's, Michael's, etc.
Not sure about Tylose.
You don't need tylose to make the fondant so don't worry about that. It is not the same as gum tex though.. it does similar things, but it's different. You need it to make gumpaste. Glycerin can be found in most craft stores in the cake section or you can get it in the pharmacy section at walmart.. it's the same stuff. Unflavored gelatin you can find at the grocery store/walmart right where you find flavored Jello.. the box of Knox unflavored gelatin is orange and white with black lettering (if I am remembering properly).
You can usually find Tylose at a cake dec supply shop and definitely online. But you don't need Tylose for Michele's fondant, usually you use Tylose for gumpaste and it also helps for draping.
Michele's hands down! I used to use mmf, and tried Michele's once and never went back! It's cheap and super easy to make, plus tastes way better and is a dream t owork with! I hated the mess of mmf, and Michele's isn't nearly as messy.
I'm so glad this topic has come up as I've been wondering the same thing! I've been making MMF and I love that it is so easy to make and very economical. It is definitely much tastier than Wilton (ugh!) but it is still chewy.
I've been wanting to try Michele Foster's Fondant but I was wasn't sure about adding milk to the fondant. By adding milk to the fondant do you need to keep it in the fridge? Do you need to refrigerate your cakes after you cover them with the fondant? How long is the fondant good for?
No.. you don't have to put it in the fridge.. the very low moisture in comparison to the high sugar content makes it so nothing with grow in or on it. I have some Michele's fondant from months ago and it still perfectly fine.
What an amazing ego booster thread! Thank you everyone for your compliments on my fondant recipe. I certainly wish I had charged for the access to it!
To answer a couple of questions, a great place to buy both gelatin and glycerin is the health food store. They come in larger containers at MUCH better prices. I don't think that flavored gelatin would work because it has sugar and other things that might change the consistency and texture of the fondant.
Even though it has dairy products in it, the sugar preserves them. This fondant will still be good after a month at room temperature and for well over a year in the freezer. Just be sure that it is wrapped very well. If you have added color, then store it in a dark colored container.
The Sugar Fix cook book has variations on the recipe as well as many other recipes. Click on the link below to order it. That would really be terrific!
Thanks again,
Michele Foster
I haven't yet tried Michelle's, but I am so happy with MMF at the moment it's hard to try another recipe--especially since it is so inexpensive and easy to make.
One day I will try Michelle's and may end kicking myself for not trying it sooner, but for now, being spread thin with time, I have to stick with making my double batches of MMF in my big ol' 70's Tupperware bowl.
I add glycerine to my MMF which gives it great pliability:
OH YOU WILL kick yourself I speak from experiance!!! 100% better. But I still use MMF for some things... Just not covering a cake!!
I'm so glad you saw this thread, Michele! Isn't it awesome that your fondant has become so popular!? Even though you didn't charge for access, I know God will totally bless you for it!
To answer the tylose question - I think the question was only asked because I made a comment in this thread about adding it to the fondant (kneading it in) to be able to use it for figures and flowers and they dry more quickly. they also get harder and a little bit stronger. all this depends on how much you use. I get it at my local baking supply store.
Yes.. I saw that you had mentioned it.. I just wanted to clarify that you don't need it if you are just making straight fondant. I usually have to get my Tylose on-line. My local cake store has it sometimes, but not always. Frustrating.
I know - I've been lucky enough that they've had it when I need it, but there are only 2 supply shops in okc, cake n candy was a fav of mine but recently shut down - ahhh! I think there's only one more supply shop than that in oklahoma! I guess I need to open a business! LOL

What a bummer! I didn't know they had closed! I knew things had been tough, but I didn't know it was this bad. At least Midwest Bakers Supply is still open. I miss that store. There are no stores quite like that around here.
I don't know what I'd do without Midwest Bakers, but they close so early it's hard to get there in time! I hear if the daughter takes over she'll start closing at 3 so she can get her daughter from school and be home, which is understandable. oh well!
I hope everyone enjoys this fondant! I just got through making 4 batches of it! (I wish I had two mixers, though!)
Well I made the fondant and bloomed and melted the gelatin and added all the wet ingredients right in the mixer bowl.. I always mix it with a whisk while I am melting it and have never had a clump to strain out so I attribute the sucess partly to that.. and it worked great. No lumps and it mixed up beatifully. So there.. it's now a one bowl mess.
I just wanted to add my love of MFF. It's the only fondant I've used since starting (I'm a semi-newbie) and it's been great to me and tastes great as well. Thanks, Michele!
I do find that I have trouble with some tearing when I cover square cakes but I think that may be more technique related. Does anyone have tips? Am I using to much PS?
Petit-Four have you ever tried 50/50 MFF and MMF to cover a cake?
Win--when you add the 6oz. of white choc. do you have to alter the recipe at all?
Thanks in advance!
cool - I've never used the same bowl - I thought the heat would affect it - this will save me some mess!
I've been planning to try MFF for a while, I finally ordered some glycerine so as soon as it comes in I will try it. I have a question - can you make it with fat-free milk or do I need to purchase whole milk?
Skim milk will work. So will water. The dairy is for flavor only. If I'm planning to cover a dummy, I use water, shortening, and no flavorings. It still tastes better than most commercial fondants and it's much less expensive.
Fantastic! Thank you.
where's the receipe for Michelle's fondant. I really want to try it!!
It is in the recipe section under Michele Foster's Delicious Fondant - but sometimes it doesn't pull up, so you can do a search on Michele under the fondant category. Also, someone posted the recipe in this thread and the link has been posted in this thread. Good luck!
Petit-Four have you ever tried 50/50 MFF and MMF to cover a cake?
Alanaj: No, I just use the 50-50 for drapes, since it helps (at least for me) with tearing. I have a very hard time smoothing fondant on cakes using MMF, but can do it with Michele's.
But if you have tearing issues, you might want to blend a little MMF into your MFF. Just a thought.
Thanks, Petit-Four, I'll give it a shot.
I read through the posts the other day...so forgive me if someone already asked this question. I know that a little glycerine added to MMF will make it more stretchy and prevent tearing. Can you add a little glycerine to Michelle's? I keep hearing that its a little more delicate than MMF so I'm wondering if the glycerine will help make it a little more stretchy??? Anybody tried it? Thanks!
There is glycerine in the recipe.
If your fondant seems a little stiff, then kneading in some more glycerin is a good way to go. It helps to add stretch without making it too sticky. You don't need much, just add a little at a time until you get the right consistency.
To gauge proper consistency, it should look smooth, be fairly easy to knead, does not stick to your hands, and doesn't make you say "eww" or "is this right?".
Thanks Michele! I'm gonna try it and will probably never go back to MMF! I have had trouble getting a dark chocolate fondant before. The consistency changes when I've tried it with MMF. Do you have any tips for that?
Thanks Michele! I'm gonna try it and will probably never go back to MMF! I have had trouble getting a dark chocolate fondant before. The consistency changes when I've tried it with MMF. Do you have any tips for that?
If you add extra chocolate to your batch, whether it's cocoa or melting chocolate, it will not be very dark, but it will be very stiff. Add some food coloring during the cooking process, and then add more while mixing in the powdered sugar. Since most colors have glycerin in them, this will soften the fondant. It's hard to say how much of anything to add because of so many factors, including current weather. When it no longer oozes down the dough hook and it's the color you want, then it's ready. I know, very technical. You will know when it's right just by the way it looks.
Everyone is talking about covering cakes with MFF but what about making figurines with it? I have only used MMF and it's alright but always settles some and doesn't hold it shape, it kind of sinks if that makes sense. I definity will try MFF next time I need fondant. If anyone has made things out of MFF I would love their feedback. Thanks.

Suggestions of the amount of info, number of fields. I usually like to keep these simple as having people remember exact addresses and zips is difficult.

It's 5:09am, and when I write, I have Carrie Bradshaw's voice reading my lines in my head!
Then, life becomes so cosmopolitan for me.
SO here's a lowdown of the previous week. I go out every single day, I don't know how I get to have money... I dressed up once, and the rest of the time, I'm a jeans and shirt girls.. with chucks if I'm in a slightly dress-up mood.
Why the sudden disinterest in fashion?
Fashion 2008 sucks. It's not fun anymore. I'm better off wearing the comfy clothes that does nothing for my confidence than the fancy ones that does nothing for my confidence either because they are too "pop". Well, good thing it actually converted my wardrobe selection younger.
I am NOT trying to save up on clothes either, most of the stuff are just not worth my time or money.. besides thet comfiest heels on earth (Cyprus Crocs in Bronze size 6. Do not judge me because I don't judge you. SO FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE SUCKERS!).
Okay, Carrie Bradshaw does not curse in my head. That was me all along, reading outloud because that is exactly how I feel at the moment.
It's now 5:14. Maybe I should get breakfast then sleep.

This is not the best of Charles Lemaire. Nevertheless, this is an interesting contribution considering the publication date. It is sometimes hard to read because of the "technical" terms, sometimes unpleasant because of some author's point of views. About the latter, one will probably feel either horrified or pleased when reading why he doesn't like the word "areole". Eventually, one will laugh when reading the advertisement of "La maison rustique" at the end of the book.
No copyright (public domain)
This is one of the major work of Charles Lemaire. Only 11 copies are still recorded all the world around according to Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) Library1). 16 plates were published from 1841 to 1847 whereas Lemaire envisioned 200 plates. We propose here the 14 plates available from MBG.
Right: Echinocactus erinaceus
No copyright (public domain)
Published in 1838, this booklet presents in latin "the accurate description of some new and unusual cacti grown in Monville's garden". Hippolyte Boissel Baron of Monville was a cactus lover of the 19th century. We know few about him, except that he lived in Montville north of Rouen (France) where he developed textile industry.

This book was issued in 1869, 2 years after Lemaire's death. The author describes the other succulents with his so peculiar vocabulary. 13 engravings illustrate the text.

So how should you play The Bard's Tale? Fast and free. Don't think of things in terms of good and evil, because that doesn't apply here. This isn't Fable or KOTOR. No, you can be snarky or nice whenever you want, but you are still the Bard either way. It's just a matter of getting different reactions and the chance for opening up new quests, earning special items, and even gaining some friends.
Barreled Over
The Bard's Tale is a spoof of RPGs, while still being an RPG itself. That means you can expect an epic story, a variety of terrain (lava will be there as will a snow area) and a send-up of just about every RPG convention. Proof of this came quite early for me as I went smashing some barrels in front of a non-descript house. The owner of the house came running at me shouting about how I am costing him money by breaking his barrels.
Turns out, he is a barrel-maker, pretty much the barrel maker for the entire world. While he doesn't want me busting the barrels in front of his home, he comes up with a wicked business proposal: I'm to smash everyone else's barrels. All of them. Because if their barrels are broken, he'll make a fortune since he's the only one who makes barrels. For my due-diligence, I get a small cut of the profits, plus the joy of breaking barrels. Pure genius.
Bastards, All of 'Em
This kind of dastardly attitude is prevalent throughout The Bard's Tale. Quite frankly, everyone you meet is a real bastard. Even the most genuine damsel in distress has some selfish motive underlying her request. You are gonna get messed with a lot. I mean, a lot. People will try and swindle you, bully you, they will lie and cheat and do whatever they have to in order to get their way. And when you do help them, often they complain about what you've done. It's like a world full of obnoxious teenagers.
Everyone is a bastard in some way or another and the Bard is really just another cog in the system. Of course, he is the chosen one, though he refuses to accept it. That smarmy attitude translates through the voice of Elwes, but also the other English actors who do a fine job of sounding bitter. The game itself, from its quests and overall feel, is just as disgruntled. It's nothing like a Baldur's Gate clone. In fact, it's really not like any other RPG I've played, which is a blessing.
Forward Thinking
So now that I've had some time to see what The Bard's Tale is all about, will it challenge some of the great RPGs coming out this year? Well, I dunno about that, but I do promise that it's an experience you just won't find in any other game. It's really a treat, at least three hours deep. But will that last the length of the game? I sure hope so, because this is a lengthy game.
Three hours in and I have yet to be introduced to the main story (though I know there is a significant one waiting). I have a feeling inXile just wants to get people settled into the Bard's world and how the snarky/nice system works before putting them into any true intrigue. But you will get to see some outside areas quickly and these are all very open, spacious places a la the wilderness in Norrath.
So far, I'm very pleased. There's a lot here, even things I haven't revealed like a truly hilarious play on the ol' lever puzzle and a meeting with a "chosen one." My only real concern now, having played for a bit, is that the combat is incredibly challenging at this point. I mean, it's brutal. You really do get overwhelmed and a few times I've had to simply run past enemies rather than fight them and no one wants that kind of experience. Hopefully this is just a balancing issue and can be remedied soon.
Look for lots more on The Bard's Tale over the next to months. See, we love it, so that means we are gonna cover the crap outta it. Prepare yourself.

Mikey got to go on his first camping trip over 4th of July weekend and boy did he have fun. Not only was it his first camping trip, but it was also his first time on a boat and his first time fishing. He got to play with the radio on Grandpa's boat and touch a fish.
So I know you are itching to know how we survived camping with a toddler. It was definitely a little stressful at times but it was a lot easier than I expected (Mostly thanks to my brilliant wife). I think the main thing is to try to stick to their routine as much as possible.
"But how Newb Dad?!"
I'm glad you asked.
Bath Time
This is kinda a big deal in our house. Mikey gets a bath every night whether he needs one or not to help him unwind from the day. We didn't want to break that tradition and he definitely needed a bath every day. We brought a large plastic tote like you can get from target after new years, and that was his bath tub. We warmed up water and filled the tote until it was the right level for bath time. If you have an issue with the water being too warm you can add cold water back in. Mikey actually enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. He had a lot of fun splashing around in his makeshift bath tub out in the wilderness.
Nap Time
Naps were a bit more difficult than bath time. Mikey had to take naps in our tent which can be hit and miss even for adults. The tent can get pretty hot during the day, especially if it is in the sun. We had an extra easy up that we moved to shade the tent during the warmest part of the day. We also opened the vents on the tent and it was actually pretty nice inside there. The main thing with this is to watch for signals from your little guy and adjust naps accordingly. We had to be flexible with when we put Mikey down to make sure he didn't go down too early and he didn't get over tired.
Food Time
I wasn't quite sure how we were going to do meal time while camping without a high chair. I mean, I knew we would make it work but I just wasn't sure what we would settle on. Then we found the most awesome amazing super stupendous invention ever. The Camping High Chair is like a folding camping chair and a high chair had a baby and painted it camo. It is awesome! And the best part is, you don't have to put it away when you get home from camping. We keep this in our trunk so when we go out places, if we need a high chair for Mikey, we have our own. There are a lot of times when there are no usable high chairs at the establishment. Seriously people, how hard is it to wipe down a high chair after you are done with it. Gross! With this high chair there was not much else we had to do special for meal times. We just plopped Mikey in his chair and put the food in front of him just like at home.
One last lesson I want to impart is: be prepared to constantly wash water cups and toys! We kept the rinsing tubs from dishes out all day so that we could rinse off toys and drink cups as they got thrown on the ground. It is not a matter of if this will happen, it is when… and how many times.
Let me know down below if you have any other super cool awesome camping hacks for toddlers. Be sure to share this post on the social medias if you enjoyed so other have a chance to read it as well. Thank you!

The 12 Days of Brexit – The major turning points which made voters quit the EU
THE PUNISHMENT Budget and sky-high immigration figures were among 12 key events that led to the Brexit victory, according to a leading Leave campaigner.
Matthew Elliott, former CEO of Vote Leave, at a conference organised by the UK in a Changing Europe
More than five months on from the Brexit victory, Vote Leave's former CEO Matthew Elliott has looked back at 12 days that defined their referendum campaign.
Mr Elliott, one of the architects of the winning campaign, said: "Each of those days was actually grounded in many years, if not decades, of activity."
Day 1 - September 7 2015: Tory backbench rebellion
Eurosceptic Tories defied former Prime Minister David Cameron on the so-called Purdah rules surrounding the EU referendum.
Mr Cameron's Government failed in its attempt to abolish rules that forbade it from campaigning in the 28 days leading up to the vote.
Mr Elliott said: "This was really the first big victory. It was absolutely vital to a fair and balanced referendum campaign."
Day 2 - September 12 2015: The election of Jeremy Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader despite his history of Euroscepticism including voted against staying in Common Market in 1975.
Mr Corbyn has come under fire for his lukewarm campaign to stay in EU. But Mr Elliott said his position was "entirely logical".
He said: "The disorganisation of the Labour In campaign did enable Labour leavers to project a stronger image."
Day 3 - October 9 2015: Vote Leave launch
Mr Elliott said Vote Leave made money a central theme and had came up with a set of powerful slogans such as 'take back control'.
The former CEO of the campaign said that the Vote Leave messaging was consistent, accessible and was "built on decades of hard work".
Day 9: A pro-Brexit stunt at a CBI conference on November 9 2015
Day 4: November 9 2015: CBI stunt
Vote Leave students heckled David Cameron during a Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference.
"We needed to demonstrate that the CBI is not as it claims to be 'the voice of business'," Mr Elliott said.
"The economy was always going to be the Remain campaign's strong suit."
Day 5 - February 20 2016: David Cameron comes back with no EU deal
Mr Cameron was criticised for not getting enough concessions while renegotiating Britain's membership of the EU.
Mr Elliott said: "I think it was the biggest factor in our victory."
Day 6 - February 21 2016: Boris Johnson joins Brexit campaign
Boris Johnson and other high-ranking Conservative politicians joining Vote Leave gave the campaign more credibility.
"I think Boris added to the campaign the charisma and ability to reach out to voters," Mr Elliott said.
"Vote Leave had the right messengers to deliver the message to win the campaign."
Day 7: Vote leave was made the official Leave campaign on April 13 2016
Day 7 - April 13 2016: Vote Leave designated as official campaign
The official Leave campaign never joined forces with Leave.EU or the Grassroots Out campaign, which were backed by Ukip during the referendum battle.
Mr Elliott said that this separation allowed them to reach more swing voters and sections of the electorate. He added: "I think that decision not to join with Ukip was vindicated by the final result."
Day 8 - April 22 2016: Barack Obama speaks out
US President Barack Obama intervened in the EU referendum campaign by saying post-Brexit Britain would be at the "back of the queue" for a trade deal.
Mr Elliott said voters turned against the attempts of the political elite and celebrities "to bully and browbeat them" into voting against Brexit.
Day 9 - May 12 2016: Immigration figures come out
Figures showed that 1.2million EU migrants got National Insurance numbers despite not showing up in immigration statistic over five years.
Mr Elliott said: "For the Remain campaign, they should have always known that migration was always going to be their weak flank.
"Despite this, they had no answer on the subject of migration."
Day 10 - June 14 2016: The Sun comes out in support of Brexit
The Daily Express and other pro-Brexit national newspapers helped to shape public opinion in the run up to the vote.
Mr Elliott also said that successive British Governments had taken an "adversarial stance" against the EU in the past.
Day 11 - June 15 2016: George Osborne's 'punishment Budget'
Pro-EU Chancellor George Osborne revealed a £30billion package of tax rises and spending cuts in the event of leaving the EU.
Mr Elliott said that voters used their common sense and saw through the dire Project Fear warnings during the campaign.
He said: "I think Project Fear was really undermined by the enthusiastic nature of some of the warnings."
Day 11: George Osborne revealed his 'punishment budget' on June 15 2016
Day 12 - June 23 2016: EU referendum day
The majority of British voters chose Brexit on what may have now called Britain's independence day.
Mr Elliott said more of their supporters turned out to vote thanks to a strong grassroots and social media campaign.

I had the most unusual salad at Rosa Mexicano and wonder if you could get the recipe. It was made with shrimp and chorizo with a sweet but hot dressing to die for.
What makes this salad sing is the warm sherry-chipotle dressing along with the orange-chipotle marinade. I've adapted the restaurant's recipe for home use. It calls for chipotle puree, which costs about $8 per 10-ounce bottle. For about half that you simply can puree a 12-ounce can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in a blender.
The recipe may appear daunting, but it requires little time or expertise. You can streamline it by flash broiling rather than deep-frying the marinated shrimp. You lose the crispy coating, but save a lot of mess.
11/2 pounds large shrimp
For marinade:
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons chipotle puree
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (preferably Mexican)
1/8 teaspoon ground star anise
11/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
For dredging:
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon chile de arbol powder or cayenne (or substitute mild chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
For dressing:
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 garlic cloves, roasted
11/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chipotle puree
1/4 cup oil
Kosher salt
For assembly:
11/4 pounds Mexican-style chorizo, skin removed and meat crumbled
1 cup roasted corn
Vegetable oil
4 small heads frisee lettuce
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Shell and de-vein shrimp. Puree marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor (makes about 1 cup). Pour over shrimp and refrigerate while preparing other ingredients.
Whisk the dredging ingredients in a shallow bowl and set aside.
To make dressing, process vinegar, garlic, honey and chipotle puree in a blender until smooth. With motor running, add oil in a thin stream. Taste for salt. (Makes about 1/2 cup.)
Fry chorizo until crisp. Add corn kernels to pan and cover and keep warm. Warm the dressing, but do not let it boil.
Heat oil for deep frying to 340 degrees.
Tear frisee into a serving bowl. Add cheese and toss. Set aside.
Drain shrimp, dredge it in the seasoned flour and deep fry about 3 minutes, until cooked through and crisp.
Pour the dressing and chorizo mix over the lettuce and toss lightly with tongs. Add the hot shrimp and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

While living in Maryland, I used to get a cheesecake (also called smearcase) that had a pastry-like base with the cheese about an inch thick on top. Since I moved to Georgia, I can't find anyone who has heard of it.
Smearcase is a Baltimore bakery specialty, but its roots are in Germany, where "schmierkase" is the word for a soft, spreadable, dry-curd cheese, similar to what we call farmer's cheese. You also can find smearcase in Pennsylvania Dutch country. The recipe here, in fact, comes from my great aunt, who farmed in the heart of Lancaster County, Pa.
For those unfamiliar with smearcase, it is more like cheese custard on a cake slab than a traditional cheesecake.
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese
1 (8-ounce) container cottage cheese
3/4 cup sugar
11/2 teaspoons flour
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (13-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk the flour with the baking powder. Stir in the eggs, oil and sugar until blended. The consistency will be more like pie dough than cake batter. Press mixture over the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
Cut the cream cheese into cubes. Add cottage cheese and beat until smooth. Beat in the remaining ingredients except the cinnamon and pour mixture into the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 60 to 75 minutes, until custard no longer jiggles and appears soft set. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate. Makes 24 servings.

There was a very good restaurant in the 1980s in Coral Gables, Fla., called Whiffenpoof. I would love to get its recipe for a delicious fish dish made with red snapper and bananas (not plantains). I think it was baked in some sort of sauce with the bananas on top. It was my favorite, and I ordered it every time I could!

anyone ever felt like this ?(48 Posts)
is it possible to really love your dh but also hate him when both emotions are strong ? how do i kniow which is real ?
sorry i disapeared ! when dh is around i dont get chance to go on here. he never sits still which means i cant either !
thank you for all your advice. i phoned womans aid and they were very kind but said pretty much what i thought. given the number of dc and dd health i should stay put and get him out. there is no way he'd go !
i am determined to get that book though and shall be visiting the library in the morning.
i dont underestimate what this is doing to the dc but lifes complicated and im not making excuses but he wont leave, ive asked !
kelly - are you near to a library? Could you use the computer facilities there to set up a confidential email address and just access it from there - as Leclerc said, a hotmail one, so that he doesn't know anything about it? Also, they may have some relevant books that you could read in the library and may be able to get the Bancroft book in for you - again you could read it in the library, rather than taking it home with you.
Please consider contacting WA for some advice and support. They won't put pressure on you to leave, but they are very experienced with supporting women in your situation.
I don't quite understand how you couldn't leave, as you're doing all the childcare on your own anyway - he's at work all the time.
What you describe sounds so frightening - you are completely controlled by him . You use words like 'allowed' and 'permission' . Please try to get along to the Freedom Programme . I've linked you to the page where you can search for a course near you. A lot of courses offer childcare - or just contact the course leaders who will find ways to support you.
Please keep posting. Many of us have been in your position and have got out, even though we couldn't possibly believe we could.
Sorry to hear about your DD I know what you mean about the loneliness of a lonely marriage - I wasn't even married to XP but it is so isolating.
Well in any case, you're not alone now.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
kelly, far from being one of a kind, you'll find that your H is following the same script as all abusive men. That's one of the things that the Bancroft book explains very well.
I wish I could help you, I can't believe how badly your H is treating you. Whereabouts in the country are you?
oh ladies, i cannot beleive the kindness from complete strangers.
leclerc, you made me cry but also i feel so happy to know there is someone out there that cares and understands. i would love the book but the more i think of it i dont know how i would even hide it. i have very few things in the house and no space thats my own. my dh has my email and fb coming through to his mobile so the really is no privacy. i can do this as he doesnt know about mumsnet.
im not being defeatest but i really cant leave. regardless of the number of dc i have one of my daughters is seriously ill and theres just no way.
its amazing, for years i thought dh was one of a kind but it seems not.
you all inspire me though and my crappy evening feels so much better now. heard once that the worst lonliness, is lonliness is marriage.very true !
They're pretty cheap on amazon IIRC I'd match your offer but I'm skint at the moment!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Definitely. I've passed mine on to a friend now who is suffering in an awful relationship It is an incredible book.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Leclerc what a lovely thing that someone did that for you! That's amazing that you want to pay it forward. kelly please take Leclerc up on her kind offer.
kelly it's worth thinking about the example of parenting and adult/couple relationships he is setting to your children. You said earlier that you have thought before that your DHs parents may be the route of his behaviour now. Can you see that this will in all probability play out in the next generation. Your children will grow up thinking your situation is normal. I assume you have girls and boys. Would you want your daughters to be living like you are when they are adults? Would you want your sons treating their wives like he treats you?
I don't say that to make you feel bad - I understand your are so ground down with it all that you probably can't see the wood for the trees at this point. But just to consider that it would probably be better for your children to grow up free from the negative influence of his control in their day to day lives. As they grow older, he will want to control them in the same ways that he controls you. He will, and probably is already with his restrictions on you, stifle their childhood and teenage years.
There is help out there to achieve freedom for yourself and for them. Lots of kind and experienced MNers would help, you would probably discover that your old friends would make contact again if you got in touch, and neighbours and people locally (who may already have an idea of some of what is happening but feel they can't interefere) would probably help if you reached out to them.
Women's Aid are there to help people in exactly your situation. GP's, health visitors etc will all be able to support you and put you in touch with organisations who can offer further support, whether with housing, benefits, home support etc.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
You aren't an idiot, Kelly. So many of us on here understand and have been there. All kinds of people can become victims of abuse, it's nothing to do with intelligence, or softness, or uselessness or any other negative thing. It is not your fault. We become conditioned to make excuses and believe it's our fault because abusers always find someone else to blame. It is hard, and confusing, and 15 years is a long time, but Cogito is right, you still have that person inside. It's just a case of finding someone who will be kind enough to let her out, and the likelihood is, that person is you.
BTW... most kids love their dad. But one day they'll be off, grown, making lives of their own and you'll be sat in an empty house with just him and the restricted life he's allowing you to have. Don't know how old you are... early thirties?... but that could mean another fifty years. Worth thinking about.
our account did. said it would save problems next year. dont really understand just know im not getting it anymore
i am deleting. but he doest check my phone. he is controlling. in so many ways. spent the whole eveninv since posting going over my marriage, god what an idiot ive been. should have run a mile years ago ! i always find myself making excuses for him. he never feels bad for the things hes done, cause they are never his fault. i think i truly beleives that.
"i wonder what life would be like with someone else"
Many women live fabulous independent lives. You don't have to be with this man or any other man to find out what life would be like. If you don't feel like the person you should be (and that makes a lot of sense) it's probably because your confidence is low, you feel trapped and you are unrecognisable from the woman who had a good job, money, friends etc. You could be that person again quite easily
bertie, thank you. its all those reasons i think. this is all i know and if i won the lottery me and the kids would be gone. but i havent...the kids love their dad and so do i in many ways.
ive read posts on here and realize that in many ways im very lucky.
The CB is still being paid unless you specifically opted out.... did you do that or did your husband?
He sounds like he controls every aspect of your life Talking of which, are you safe posting here? Do you know how to delete history or use private/incognito browsing?
i did have child benefit til this week when mr cameron deceided to take it away !
it was my lifesaver. used it for kids shoes,clothes etc now going to have to ask dh to take me and kids to shops.
That's okay, keep posting here instead. The wonderful, strong, amazing women of mumsnet are here for you.
You say you would have left years ago if it wasn't for the children. Is that because of practical reasons, because you worry how you would cope with or provide for the children alone? Or is it that you don't want to break up the family? You know you have a right to be happy yourself? Don't underestimate how important that is, especially for the children.
i have days where i really dont feel like i can but on the whole, yeah i hope so. dont have a great deal of choice.
hes hardly around in the week due to work which makes it a lot easier.
i feel im not the person i should be if that makes sense. and i wonder what life would be like with someone else but i love my kids so much that it makes life seem good.
You're going to need that money because I think you're allowing yourself to contemplate life without this bully. With seven children, even if you just had the Child Benefit paid into your own account you'd have quite a balance in a short space of time. I'm assuming you're in the UK?

No month-end buy signals in the metals!
No month-end buy signals in the metals!
by Larry Edelson
Larry here. Today's video update was actually recorded last week due to my travel itinerary. No problem, because on Wednesday, Feb. 29 — after weeks of rallying — gold and silver gave up all their gains in a single day, and they failed to elect any monthly buy signals.
You'll want to know what it all means. Plus, you'll want to know what the Dow Industrials are telling you. That market actually did give a monthly buy signal!
P.S. The March issue of my Real Wealth Report publishes Friday, March 16 . You won't want to miss it. To join for the year, click here now. I believe it will be the best money you spend this year. I repeat, click here now.
Video Transcript
Good morning! This is Larry Edelson with my Uncommon Wisdom video market update for Monday, March 5. I'm actually recording this video update on Wednesday, Feb. 29 due to my travel plans over the next few days.
However, the action that we saw in the markets on Wednesday, Feb. 29 is very significant, and I don't expect many changes in the intervening days between when I'm recording this video and when you see it on Monday.
The all-important action I'm referring to occurred on Wednesday, Feb. 29 and indeed that being the month-end, it is very, very important action.
Let's go right to the charts:
First, gold: As you undoubtedly already know and as you can see from this chart, on Wednesday, Feb. 29, the gold market had a $76-$80 down day. The rally failed above this support level here and gold plunged, giving up almost two weeks of gains in a single day.
Now, it's very likely that gold may rally back to the $1,742 level in this resistance area here. But the action that occurred on Wednesday, Feb. 29 is very significant. Gold did not elect a monthly buy signal. That is very important — after all this rallying over the last month or so that had everybody upset and many others jumping into the gold market, gold did fail to elect a monthly buy signal.
To me and my systems, that indicates that there is still a very, very high probability that we will see gold move back down with the initial support coming in around $1,625, $1,635, and a distinct possibility that we could go into late March/early April testing sub-$1,500 levels.
So, if you've acted on any of my advice to take on some short-term bearish speculative positions in the gold market and/or hedged up long-term core gold holdings, I recommend that you hold those bearish positions and hedges because it appears to me that the short-term gold rally is over and we will retest support levels.
The same can be said for silver: Here is the chart of silver. Silver had a massive 6% down day on Feb. 29, again month-end. Interestingly, we were well-above the $35.85 monthly buy signal that I've been telling you about.
But on Wednesday, Feb. 29, silver plunged over $2.25, failing to elect that buy signal on a month-end closing basis and putting in an outside reversal day and falling back into this declining wide trend channel that you see here.
So silver, like gold, remains poised now to test at least the $32 level. And once that gives way, we can see sub-$30 levels, at least $28, and maybe even lower going into April.
The interim rally is over here. The long-term bull market in the precious metals is not. The fact that the European Central Bank is printing money now, the Federal Reserve is printing money (and) many other central banks around the globe are printing money does not mean that gold, silver, and precious metals are going to explode to the upside.
Money-printing is a long-term bullish fundamental, but it does not have to be bullish every day of the year they are printing money. That does not mean that gold or silver has to go up.
There are contextual situations and conditions where money-printing can actually be bearish for the metal. And I believe we have that in place right now.
One of the reasons is they're printing money like crazy to save the banking system in Europe and to save Greece. But Greece is not going to make it. Greece is going to default as sure as I know my own name.
Greece is going to pull out of the European Union and take back its drachma. And as this unfolds over the next 30 to 60 days, yes, the banks might print money like crazy. But again, that doesn't mean that every day is going to be up for gold and silver. Quite the contrary.
As the euro disintegrates and Greece defaults, you're going to see savvy investors and not-so-savvy investors run to cash. That's going to be bullish for the dollar and bearish for just about all commodities out there.
So, again, money-printing doesn't mean everything has to go up day in and day out. Far from it. You have to know when money-printing is bullish and when it's not. That's my take on the fundamentals.
The U.S. dollar: The dollar has been acting weak overall but – lo and behold – on Feb. 29, the dollar did put in an outside reversal day. It is finding support in this level and the next move in the dollar should be higher up to the near 81 level and, if we can get through that, probably to new highs up near 83.50 or 84.
As the dollar moves higher on a flight to safety, overall that will be a bearish tone for commodities, particularly gold and silver.
Dow Industrials: This market has given me a monthly buy signal with the Dow closing above the 12,850 level that I've been writing about on Wednesday, Feb. 29. This is a very early signal that the Dow Jones and S&P 500 are going into a long-term new bull market that will find stocks trading substantially higher in the years ahead.
That does not mean you should run out and buy stocks wholesale right now because we got a monthly buy signal. Indeed, I expect some kind of pullback along with metals and along with the general liquidation tone that might take root in the markets over the next few weeks.
But that buy signal in stocks does give you an indication that a new bull market in stocks is near. I expect by 2015-2016 we could see the Dow close to 20,000 if not higher. So there's plenty of money to be made on the upside there.
Now the focus in the Dow should be on buying dips rather than getting all-out bearish. For now I recommend holding any short-term bearish positions because, as I said, there's likely to be a pullback in the Dow and I would look to get out of those positions at lower levels and start picking support levels to get positioned for a new bull market in stocks.
Having said that, this is Larry Edelson. I'll be en route back to Asia over the next couple of days. I will talk to you next week. I will give you an extensive updates on all these markets.

I am so sad when photos don't turn out. The miracle of this beach house is it location on the inter coastal. Then to the front is the ocean. We are now blocked by the trees, but its out there, and we walk to it everyday. The back of the condo looks out of this small river like waterway and if you catch it right, you can watch the dolphins going in or out to sea...We have looked each morning and haven't seen them. Today, at 9:17 the first pod of the summer swam by. It appears to be two, but I kept thinking that there was another who would breathe just after the first two. Maybe a family... Small miracle for me. I have never gotten over the wonder of animals in their own habitat. Let's hope there are not too many large fish in the ocean to wonder over....And soon, it will be "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel.Second on our long list of small miracles, AugustRose is now potty training. She wears a pull-up at night, but most of the time it is dry. Just like that. She will suddenly look at me, and say, "I GOT GO TEETEE!" and then she hauls it off to her potty.
Again, Anna is her silly old self. She has forgotten how hard she cried on the last day of kindergarten. She was a sad little mess. She told me over and over that she didn't want to leave kindergarten. She didn't want another teacher. How could she see Mrs. Hall is she was in 1st grade. Mission accomplished. She loved kindergarten. The end of the first year is now behind her, and she has shells, angel wings, sand castles, and diving for coins to think about!
Another small miracle, my girl loves her Dadushka. She adores him, and wants to be at his side no matter what. With all of the trouble we had on our trip to meet her, this bond has made it "all better."
My gal hates to look at the camera for a photo, so I fear this is all we will see this summer. The top of her head or the side of her face.
Some sister fun.
Even showing me her shell "lection" she won't give me that straight on beauty!
So many small miracles in one week. So many reasons to say Thank You to the Man Upstairs. We are truly blessed to have this as our second home. We miss my mom, but we talk on the phone almost everyday. Another small miracle, I am putting my worst teaching year behind me. I am actually almost excited that as I enjoy my summer, I can look foreword to a whole new next year..
So I'd love to hear from any of you, what do your small miracles look like? What reason do you have to drop to your knees and say, "THANK YOU GOD, I am not worthy!"

Conscious Sedation Dentistry
Conscious sedation is today's preferred method for patients with lengthy dental procedures or a fear of the dentist. It not only minimizes the anxiety typically associated with a visit to the dentist, but combined with advanced methods in local anesthesia, patients also enjoy a more comfortable, relaxing, and safer experience. Conscious sedation also allows multiple procedures to be completed during one visit. The stress and inconvenience of returning multiple times for treatment can be eliminated. This especially appeals to people who are unable to make time in their busy schedules to have complex treatment done, which would normally take several appointments.
Dr. Madigan completed his sedation residency at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
Surgical Suite
Our office is equipped with a surgical suite that is capable of IV conscious sedation, oral conscious sedation as well as routine local anesthesia procedures. The surgical facility meets all the standards of a full operating room, having separate suction and air conditioning for proper sterility for sophisticated procedures.
This separate surgical operatory enables our practice to treat numerous types of cases that, otherwise, could not be treated in a normal dental setting. Patients with significant medical complications, complicated or sophisticated dental problems, or patients with dental 'phobias' can be treated in our office.

Southside Park may soon see an outdoor sitting area for residents seeking conversation over a good book.
The city's Parks and Recreation Board voted today to grant permission to proceed with the sitting area, which would be funded partly with donations to the Literacy Council of Tyler.
For more on this story, we go live to Megan Middleton with our news partner the Tyler Morning Telegraph.
Megan, what would this area of the park be used for?
Well the idea is the area could be used for reading and discussion … and could be a place to host guest speakers … or for an outdoor classroom for students.
There is also a need to access Rose Rudman Trail from Southside Park. And the hope is this would create an entrance that could complement the trail.
It's also a way to honor donors to the Literacy Council of Tyler.
Who plans to donate to help create this space?
Well, in addition to donations to the literacy council --- Land Visions --- a Tyler-based landscape architecture firm would donate its services to build the $20,000 garden area. And area Boy Scouts would contribute some of the labor to help build the park.
What special features could the sitting area include?
Well, it would have a small garden – with pavers listing the names of donors on each one.
It also would have a donated bronze statue of two children reading on a bench. And there would be a granite wall that would tell the story of the Literacy Council.
For more details on other plans for the park addition, read Dayna Worchel's story in tomorrow's Tyler Morning Telegraph.

When you make hamburgers, sandwiches, or whatever...... how do you toast the buns?
It may sound very stupid but I've always had problems with this. The toaster is not an option because it smooshes the bread. I've tried toasting in the same pan as I cooked the meat but that turns out horrible even if I wipe all the meat juices and fat out of the pan.
Am I supposed to do it in the oven? I've tried that too, and it only made the bread hard. What temp and how long? Am I supposed to use the broiler?
I know I must sound like an idiot, but everytime I try to toast buns it's a disaster.
I don't have a grill, btw.
Can you all just post your methods for toasting buns and bread? Real simple thing that this real simple girl keeps failing at, LOL

Officer Bosetti made allegations that back in 2002 the Pittsburgh Police Department Brass covered up the Fatal Shooting of Jerry Jackson in the Armstrong Tunnels in Apr/1995.Well,he was NOT there and I was along with Homicide Commander Ron Freeman, Commander McNeilly/Zone 2,Homicide Det.Terrance Oleary and Numerous other High Ranking Officials of the Pgh Police and Housing Authority P.D. Nobody covered anything up at all!!!!!!!!!!!There were 2 City Officers right behind me in there patrol vehicle inside the tunnel and testified exactly as to what I stated and what they saw with there own Eyes!They even Fired there weapons at the suspects car after it was stopped!
Although the Iniating Pgh Police Officer Charles Conroy that started the Pursuit and was the Reporting Officer that wrote the Police Incident Report the night in question stated in the report that "I" meaning Officer Charles Conroy did see the suspects vehicle turn around and come at Officers Charmos Patrol Vehicle.Then at the Preliminary Hearing Officer Conroy came into the court room with Private Legal Counsel and when called to Testify under Oath He stated that I (Officer Charmo) Told him what to write in the night in question and that he made a mistake saying what he allegly saw happening???? Then He Falsified an Official Police Report and Nothing was done about that???
I told him exactly what happened and Never told him to write anything other then the Truth!I had 40 minutes until the end of my shift and I rendered assistance to the City Officer as he was coming into my Jurisdiction and in the end I Lost My Career, My Pension,Incarcerated 23 hrs/day w/1hr out in the ACJ,went through a Criminal Trial that ended in a Mis-Trial and then was thrown a Plea-Agreement by DA Zappala to Plead to In-Voluntary Manslaughter only a Mis-Demaeanor of the 1st Degree and I would be released in a month as I was already in Jail for over 10 months and the Min Sentence was 11 1/2 mos. So what other choice did I have? It just amazes me how people worry only about there Own Jobs when the times get tough? I was Hung out to dry on a Branch by my lonley self. I had only one person stay by my side during the entire trial and that was my Ex-Girlfriend a Pgh Police Officer Norine Kelly as she came to my aid the night in question and stayed by me. Not one Housing Authority Police Officer was in the Court Room or any City Officers except Officer Kelly! So if you really think that there was a cover up inregards to this matter, then Good Luck. Nobody told Mr.Jackson to steal a car and lead numerous police units on a high speed chase and then began ramming my patrol car on the 10th st. bridge trying to make me loose control and possibly sustain Serious Bodily Injury or Death and then Drive the Car head-on at me.
All he ahd to do was put his foot on the brake pedal and Stop! He would be alive today and back in Jail. But, he chose the Final Outcome as he decided he was NOT going back to jail no matter what, so He signed his own Death Certificate at that moment. I am not proud of what I did and I still have PTSD and nightmares about the incident, and I will probably until the day I die. All I know is that I did what I was Taught and Paid to do and that was to Protect Peoples Lives and now at the age of 57 I lost everything I worked so hard for for nothing!The general census of the public involving this case felt that I had nothing better to do the night in question and that I had Pre-Planned on Killing an Afro-American which is Totally Absurd! I worked in the Public Housing Communities for 14 years and treated the people with respect as a white person.
I was Awarded Numerous Commendations by Black Groups and then the Chief of the Housing Police Harvey Adams Jr. made me what I was by sending me to school to become a Police Fire-Arms Instructor, and a Patrol-Narcotics K-9 Handler as well as an Acting Supervisior when needed!So I spoke my peace and Not that it's going to do anything for me now, I just want the Public to know the truth! Thank You!

Hear(t) It: The Idle Hands/
Idle hands can do a lot of things: make cookies, knit a sweater, go bowling, perform some really intricate shadow puppetry.
However, these Idle Hands are a band from Minneapolis. Comprised of a pair of familial Irish ex-pats -- brothers Ciaran and Croistoir -- and a few Midwestern natives, the Idle Hands make music reminiscent of iconic Brit popsters Pulp, meaning they sound part glam, part disco, and part good ole rock 'n' roll. The band's debut album, The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show, drops today and its single "Loaded" is the perfect song for any evening where something... interesting might happen.
Read on to find out what front-man Ciaran Daly is loving right now.
I Heart Daily: Who is your rock 'n' roll idol? Ciaran Daly: Idolizing people is such hard work. But if David Bowie and Marc Bolan's DNA could be fused with Jarvis Cocker's, we'd be getting somewhere.
IHD: What bands/albums are you into right now? CD: Communist Daughter. They're on [our record label] Pretty Kids Collective with us, and they're brilliant.
IHD: Favorite meal? CD: Breakfast at the Bryant Lake Bowl in [Minneapolis]. Preferably after the crack of noon.
IHD: Name the one item of clothing you can't live without. CD: The Buckler jacket Ra'mon Lawrence tailored for me. Fits me like a second skin.
IHD: Any reading recommendations? CD: The Soul of Man Under Socialism & Selected Critical Prose, by Oscar Wilde. Sometimes I swear he saw this century coming.

I was at my moms a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about her starting a blog or a Facebook page/group supporting partners of men with prostate cancer. She made the statement that she isn't sure that she wants to commit that much time to managing and maintaining a Facebook page. I was trying to explain to her that it wouldn't take that much time. While she was trying to explain to me that she is afraid that she is too OCD, which I should understand.
It was at that point that I made the statement. "I only OCD my life. Not yours".
Isn't that kinda true for everyone?
Everyone sees things differently. Everyone approaches problems different. The other day Josh was cleaning out the garage and every time I walked out there I looked at the order at which he was dealing with the massive mess and it took everything in me to not say anything. After all, he wasn't doing it wrong. He was just doing it different than the way I would do it. The end result was the same. A clean, organized garage, with enough room to play ping-pong. Goal achieved.
I suppose that being emotionally invested doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to be OCD about something. Obviously I am emotionally invested in my dad's cancer and the way it effects my family. However, because I live in a different house, 15 minutes away, and see my parents once or twice a week I do get to be emotionally distant to some extent. That can even help with the advice. Any sort of distance can lend perspective. That is why couples "take a break" or have a "trial separation". If you distance yourself from a situation you are able to see it more clearly.
I guess the moral of this blog is that if you need any advice I'm sure I can give it (but you maybe shouldn't take it). I may not have my shit together (as my over thinking proves) but the fact that I am emotionally distant from you means that I might be just what you need to solve any problem you may have. After all. I only OCD my life. Not yours

Absent Fathers
January 18, 2002
The best predictor of father presence or absence is marital status, according to the National Fatherhood Initiative. Compared to children born within marriage, children born to cohabiting parents are three times as likely to experience father absence, and children born to unmarried, non-cohabiting parents are four times as likely to live in a father-absent home.
- More than one-third of American children, 24 million or 34 percent, live in homes without their biological father.
- Nearly 20 million children (27 percent) live in single-parent homes.
- Over 3.3 million children live with an unmarried parent and the parent's cohabiting partner.
The absence of their father can have profound effects on children. Children who live absent their biological fathers are, on average, at least two to three times more likely to be poor, to use drugs, to experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems, to be victims of child abuse, and to engage in criminal behavior than their peers who live with their married, biological (or adoptive) parents.
On the other hand, children with involved fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem, exhibit empathy and pro-social behavior, and avoid high-risk behaviors such as drug use, truancy and criminal activity than children with uninvolved fathers.

Users also want to Minimize and Maximize this form - so I am showing Control Boxes along with the X in the upper right hand corner of the form (the default close icon).
To keep the look and feel Consistent, I do want to have the X in the upper right corner, however when a user clicks this x or "close" icon, I want to hide the form vs closing it
is there any way I can run the code "me.visible = false" when a user clicks the close icon on this form?
presently - it closes the formas itdoes by default.
Thanks! - AB
