Tokyo, Dec. 15: If India had expected Japan to come up with a clear, unambiguous endorsement of the Indo-US civil nuclear deal during Manmohan Singhs visit here, it had reasons to be disappointed, at least for the moment.
Japan will wait and watch Indias negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) before finalising its position at the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).
Even as it appreciates Indias need for nuclear energy, Japan will like India to respond to the concerns of the international community over the formers civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the US, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said today.
During his summit meeting with Abe here this afternoon, Singh explained to him that nuclear energy was a must for India as its economy grew and that IAEA safeguards would be followed.
Abes response, as reflected in the joint statement and in his answer to a question at a news conference, was mixed and noncommittal.
Japan has been the only victim of atomic bombs and we do have our sensitivities, he said.
The Indo-US deal and the question of IAEA safeguards would be discussed at the NSG and other fora as well as at the bilateral level between India and Japan before the latter formulates its position.
The joint statement, though, mentioned the two countries shared view that nuclear energy can provide a safe, sustainable and non-polluting source. It also spoke of the need for enhancing the international civil nuclear energy co-operation under appropriate IAEA safeguards.
But Abes remarks suggested Tokyos response to the India-US deal was still being debated in official and political circles here.
Indian officials, however, said it would be wrong to interpret the remarks as Japans disapproval. Until recently, the very idea would have been totally unacceptable to them. The ambivalence in the Japanese response proves that they too are having a rethink, said an Indian source.

Viral Video: The FA's Respect campaign
Leading British actor Ray Winstone has offered his assistance to the Football Association to star in another viral video aimed at promoting the FA's Respect campaign in football.
The film features a sombre and plain-spoken Winstone delivering his message straight to camera in between quick cuts to a middle-aged Sunday league manager shouting abuse at a distressed young footballer. Winstone talks about the problem of abuse before asking 'isn't it time we gave it a rest?'.
The FA's latest viral video can be seen here.

IWGA Athletes of the Month: Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic, Austria
Congratulations to Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic, IWGA Athletes of the Month for November 2016. These identical twins from Austria (24) won the gold medal at the Ju-Jitsu World Championships in Wroclaw (Pol), host city of The World Games 2017. It was their third consecutive world title. Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic perform in the Duo-Women discipline.
Winning the title at the event in Poland this November ensured that they will be able to defend their World Games title from 2013 Cali/Colombia. Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic are qualified for TWG 2017 (20-30 July) in Wroclaw.
At the end of the event in Poland, they were honoured as the outstanding team of this year's World Championships. After achieving their fifth World title overall, they posted on Facebook: "Months full of hard training including sweat, pain and emotional moments were rewarded with the Austrian anthem!"
Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic live in a small town close to Vienna called Pressbaum. They were born in Bosnia and arrived in Austria with their parents and older brother at the age of eight months during the civil war in former Yugoslavia. The twins started Ju-Jitsu when they were 6, and are now black belts (2nd Dan). After graduating from commercial college in 2011, they were given the opportunity to enter into a special contract as police officers with the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This means that they are elite athletes of the Austrian police. Alongside their professional duties as police officers they are allowed a high contingent of hours for sports training during working hours, competitions, training camps and so on. After winning the Austrian Championships in October the Minister of Sport, Hans-Peter Dokozil, awarded Mirnesa and Mirneta Becirovic the "Goldenes Ehrenzeichen", an important decoration for athletes in Austria.
Finally some trivia: one of their sports advisers is the stuntman and Hollywood actor Alain Moussi.

Re-install XP Before Upgrading to Windows 7?
Is this article at Cnet correct? I built a new system and installed W7 (Build 7100) from the get go. When I get the upgrade package I just bought I'll have to install XP first? I can do that but what a pain. Didn't they used to just ask for the old disc to prove ownership? You'd insert it, remove it and carry on. I don't want to completely install XP just to prove I owned it and then install W7 over it.
Not too happy about this.

Win 7
I've just read that July 6 article myself, and it is very clear that XP *must* be installed prior to the Win7 upgrade. I remember reading on this board several weeks ago that it wouldn't be necessary to do that, but that info was either incorrect or MS has made a change. Crap.

Instead of worrying about installing XP go ahead and install XP then install Win 7 in a dual boot configuration. That way you will have both, and if you have any programs that have a problem with Win 7 and not XP then you will the wonderful world of both OSs.
But, remember XP has to be installed first (always).
By doing it this way you can get by with HP ($49.95 Upgrade) and not have pay $99.95 for the upgrade Pro version which would allow you to use MS VM with Virtual XP. Just trying to help you save money since you already have a copy of XP.

common sense approach to home made dog food including low protein dog food, the canine diabetes diet and
everyday dog food recipes with a comparison to commercial food giants.
Homemade dog food is a scary proposition for most of us, whether we're about to start or have been doing it for a short time.
How will we know it's a healthy dog diet and we are giving them all the nutrients they need?
Will we balance their protein, fat and carbohydrates correctly?
What about vitamins and minerals? And calcium? (Dogs need so much calcium!)
Relax. Let's put things in perspective.
I believe the biggest reason we get scared over homemade dog food is that it puts the responsibility on us instead of the dog food company. But why should we trust them? Seriously. Think about…
Read those last three words again - "Dog Food Manufacturers". Now read "Homemade Dog Food". One of those does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. I expect my car to be manufactured, but not my dog's food.
The reason the major dog kibble manufacturers make dog food is to make money. Proctor and Gamble make a lot of the cleaning supplies we use. They also make Iams dog food and Eukanuba dog food.
Nestle Corporation doesn't just make chocolate. They make Pixy Stix, Baby Ruth, Goobers, Gobstoppers, Laffy Taffy and all Purina dog foods.
And when Colgate bought out Hills, they decided to market through veterinarians since dentists helped their toothpaste sales immensely.
Besides, when dogs get sick or die from those mass market pet foods, do the manufacturers compensate anyone? Of course not, they simply do a recall as if it were just an oops.
Before we move on to tips for home made dog food I have one more thing to say. It's about that little square on the bag or the can called the Dog Food Analysis. Please visit that page.
Enough about them, let's talk about us and I'll give you a little dog nutrition advice.
By making our own canine recipes (whether we cook or prepare a raw food diet), we not only know what's inside our homemade dog food, we have the ability to feed a quality canine elimination diet to find and relieve canine food allergy symptoms.
You might even get rid of something you never considered came from a food allergen, like tear stains - which could be created by something as simple as the food coloring!
What is the Science Behind Home Made Dog Food?
Food is not science, it's nutrition. Nutrition comes from whole foods. Isn't that common sense?
Now if you add the powers of observation, you're doing even better. What's to observe? Mainly energy, skin, coat and poop. That's right, I call it poop patrol and you can learn a lot about it at Dog Poop Health.
And observation comes in because each dog is an individual. Just like some people have allergies, so do some dogs.
And truth be told, dogs are not really omnivores, they are carnivores. I'm guessing this has to do with two things. One, dog food manufactures have always used grains or starches - not because our dogs need them but because they are needed to bind the food and make it into those little brown rabbit poop looking things. And two, starches are cheaper than meat. A lot cheaper.
Now those of us who do the home made dog food thing usually follow using grains like brown rice for dogs or sweet potatoes for two reasons. One, because we need carbohydrates we think they are good for our dogs; and two because they are cheaper than meat. A lot cheaper.
The difference is still in quality. Brown rice has some nutrition where rice hulls do not. Plus we would never dream of feeding corn to dogs only to see corn filled poop and we don't use floor sweepings in the pot. (Uh-oh, I'm slipping backward a bit. Let me get a grip.)
Okay, dogs do not need carbohydrates, especially simple carbohydrates (such as white or wheat flour) make the pancreas work overtime long enough to wear it out resulting in canine diabetes. Complex carbohydrates are another story. Whole grains do not make the blood sugar spike.
There are two types of diet choices for dogs with diabetes. You can find that information at my Canine Diabetes Diet page.
Now if you don't yet have recipes or would like to compare what you have now, head over to my Home Made dog Food Recipes page. It's kind of fun because if it's just you and the dog in your household, you can share these meals.
If your vet wants your dog on a low protein diet, naturally I've got something to say about that as well so go to Low Protein Dog Food.
You Can Do It
By using different kinds of meats (both muscle and organ), serve bones or calcium, vegetables and grains over time gives us and our dogs a variety of nutrients, and that adds up to good things. And if we add a few supplements at least part of the time, we're doing great.
To see the supplements I use, I explain what, whose and why at the bottom of the home made dog food recipes page linked above.
I know you can do this.
I started out cooking for five dogs whose weight totaled 440 pounds. It was a lot of cooking and there were days I wanted to scream, but guess what? Their health improved so drastically I'd do it again in a heartbeat and I want you to have the same success. (But for heavens sake don't do it with 5 big dogs!)
Just a few more tips before I go.

How about nominating a member for being helpful imformative and making this site great.
horrible idea look how many members there are
I know I just thought of it from annother place.
i like this idea, you could have a poll each month to let members vote.
Im not goin to go threw a list of 31,137 people just to get a member of the moth and i doubt other would either
you don't, you pick the person who has helped you the most. it would start with nominations, and then a vote. you don't have to go through EVERY single member, just the one that stood out in your mind as being particularly helpfull.
of course it's a givin that fareway and bobby G would win every time...
For this you could do something like this.
When someone post a question on the site they have the option to enable voting. If the posting member finds one of the users have the best answer that person gets anywhere between 1 and 50 points, if there was more then one question the user can give some of the points to the other users as well, to a max of 50 points per post. Mods can remove points for cases were they feel that questions have been posted and answered in order to up there score or ranking.
These guys do something like this. They choose the best questions of the month and send them out in a monthly newsletter.
I vote for me
i vote for fareway!
Fareway and Bobbyg.

Yesterday I felt awesome, yesterday afternoon I started feeling not so great but I couldn't tell if it was just a belly ache from the hummus I ate or if I were getting m/s back. Last night I ate dinner and just felt blah so I went to bed around 7:30. Woke up this morning feeling pretty ok, dropped my daughter off at daycare and as I was walking out of her classroom it hit me, I felt like I was going to throw up, made it to the parking lot and it happened. It wasn't much because I had a completely empty stomach, I think it was just the vitamin I took with a small drink of water....so then I felt fine again.
Would this be normal for morning sickness??? To feel fine, throw up, feel fine again all within a matter of minutes? I've never had morning sickness like this.

Sous Vide Caramelized Lemon Drop
May 16, 2015
Lemon drops in essence are pretty simple to make, but using sous vide to make them, infuses the vodka in ways that you can't with a simple shaker. Sure, it'll take a little extra waiting, but who says you can stockpile your Lemon Drops ahead of time for easy imbibing? When it comes to drinking seriously, it takes some planning. We even up the ante by using caramelized lemons to add an extra smokey and developed lemon flavor to your vodka. So yeah, there's a bit longer of a wait, but your neighborhood bar won't have anything on this Lemon Drop.
Get the Drop right here.

Two tales of survival, both grim downers
IF Canadian movies have a reputation for being dour and downbeat, the two opening this week are not going to do anything to reverse that impression. The Disappeared and Whitewash are movies that touch on common Canuck themes — survival, masculinity, madness — shot with a maximum of minimalism. Both depict battles against the elements. Both include at least one attempted suicide. Both feature somewhat recognizable American actors in the foreground. Both end on a note of ambiguity. One needn't expect sellout crowds for either. The Quebec-made Whitewash is the more interesting of the two. It's being billed as a story of survival and redemption, but the film's most redemptive act is a good deed for which its hero is relentlessly punished. Thomas Haden Church ( Sideways) is Bruce, a snowplow operator living a bitter existence in a remote community in rural Quebec. In the chronologically fractured narrative, it emerges that he is a widower who has hit the bottle to cope with the death of his wife. In a market parking lot, he comes upon Paul (Marc Lebréche), an even more desperate character attempting to kill himself. Bruce intervenes and tries to befriend Paul, a degenerate gambler whose debts — monetary or ethical — are beyond his reach. It turns out Paul is not worthy of the life-saving gesture. Their relationship concludes with Bruce on the run from the authorities, taking refuge in his snowplow, stuck deep in the snowy Quebec woods. Director Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais, making his feature debut, gets thespian bang for (presumably) limited bucks from Church, an actor whose penchant for hangdog loners gets taken to a new level with a consistently compelling portrait of isolation taken to its limit. The Disappeared is a more familiar tale of survival on the sea. It's set entirely on open water in the Atlantic, where six crew members of a sunken fishing vessel attempt to make their way home, paddling more than 300 kilometres in a couple of leaky dories. The American in this otherwise Canadian cast is Billy Campbell ( Once and Again, The Killing) as Mannie, a first mate whose wounded arm promises lots of juicy dramatic fireworks.
In this stressful situation, fractures emerge between the ship's crusty skipper (Brian Downey) and the rebellious crewman Pete (Shawn Doyle), between a bitter father (Gary Levert) and his inexperienced son (Neil Matheson), and between the wounded Mannie and everyone else. Written and directed by another feature newcomer — Edmonton-born Shandi Mitchell — The Disappeared was unlucky to be released in the same proximity as All Is Lost, a more accomplished movie that demonstrates it is possible to build dramatic tension with practically no dialogue and no supporting cast. Even so, this is a fairly accomplished first feature, shot on location under presumably arduous circumstances; Mitchell has a sure hand at the rudder, even if her narrative vessel is as roughhewn and leaky as its dories.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update. Due to some MAJOR writer's block, then getting sick with something called a Pheochromocytoma that required numerous tests and finally resulted in a 5 hour operation and 5 day stay in the hospital over the Labor Day weekend, I'm finally up to writing a bit. I'm working on this story for the time as we recently lost both of my mom's cats to local Coyotes and before Easter I had put cat, Mouse down after almost 20 years of partnership so this story is done for her.
Conversations I've Had With My Cat
Part Two
Chet Kelly had been wondering about that notebook the whole time that Johnny had been off work. He knew he shouldn't have started reading it but he was a curious cuss by nature as his mother always said and often that had lead him to getting into trouble, but this notebook really had his curiosity up and he just had to talk to his friend about what he'd read.
Chet and Johnny sat around the table drinking coffee talking while Kel got breakfast ready. Once they'd eaten and Kel had left for work, John turned to his friend and shift-mate.
'Okay Chet, spill it.' John said sternly. His kitten, Whiskers, had jumped up onto the table and was licking a paw judiciously.
Chet fiddled with his silverware as he worked out how to brooch the subject of the notebook. 'Well, you see John it's like this…' He started then he noticed the kitten. 'I uh…' Whiskers was now paying rapt attention to Chet as he purred loudly to let both men know he was content in his world.
'Yeah Whiskers, this is a friend. His name is Chet and he works with me.' John introduced the man to the cat and smiled. 'He likes it when I talk to him.' He explained to his friend. 'Sometimes at night, when Kel is working late or I can't sleep, I'll lay on the couch with Whiskers here and we'll have a nice chat until I feel sleepy enough to fall asleep.'
'What happened to the other cat?' Chet asked.
'He's around somewhere.' Johnny said softly. 'He's still getting used to the new addition. Whiskers had a litter mate that came with him but sadly, she died two days after they came home. We buried Snugums in the back yard so Whiskers could visit his sister whenever he feels the need to commune with her.' Johnny talked about the kittens as if they were people.
'Uh Johnny, you do realize that they're cats, right?' Chet sat up in his chair and leaned forward with his arms on the table. 'I mean, they're not human.'
'I know that!' John exclaimed. 'Look Chet, I'm not an idiot.' He laughed. 'You see, it's like this. All animals have a sense of family, Chet. You just don't know it because you haven't been exposed to it because you grew up in a city and didn't have pets that were allowed to be natural.'
Chet gave Johnny a confused look. 'I'm not followin' ya here, Johnny.'
'I won't say it's simple, 'cuz it's not. But if you let your pet get in touch with his primitive side, he will take a step back, so to speak, to a time before he was domesticated and develop more familial habits with his kind and kin.' John sat back with a smile on his face.
'Where in the heck did you get that idea from?' Chet asked.
'I learned it from the Shaman on the reservation I grew up on, Chet. A very wise old man he was. His wife was also very wise and between the two of them I learned more than any old school ever taught me about biology, natural science, chemistry, and a whole bunch of other stuff that has actually saved my life a time or three.' John started massaging the kitten's back gently. This caused the kitten to start purring louder as he sprawled out on the table.
Chet thought that this was funny and started laughing. 'You gonna open a kitty spa when you retire?'
'Ya know, that's not a bad idea, Chet.' Johnny laughed too. 'All the pets in this house like to get a massage from me. Kel likes them too.' John winked.
'Now that I didn't need to know, Johnny-baby.' Chet stood and started walking around the kitchen. 'I kind of wanted to ask you something.'
'What's that?' John tilted his head as he looked at his friend.
'Well, when I was cleaning out your locker I came across your notebook.' Chet paused there to gauge Johnny's reaction.
John just continued giving the cat the massage. 'So?'
'I know I shouldn't have, but I started to read it.'
'I don't mind.' John said.
'Really?' Chet sat back down.
'Nah, I wrote that notebook a whole 'nuther lifetime ago, Chet. Back before California and the fire department. Hell, I wrote that back before I even knew what a fire fighter was.'
Chet sat there and thought about what his friend just said. 'You were abused by your uncle, weren't you?'
'For a while I was.' John admitted. 'But my mom got her act together and came and got me. She took me to live with her sister in Santa Rosa, California when I was fifteen. Mom saved my life then.'
Chet smiled. 'Is she still alive? I know your aunt is, 'cus you talk about her all the time.' Chet wanted to know if his mother was still around.
'Yeah, she and my aunt still live up in Santa Rosa. They're planning on moving down here to L.A. in a few months though to be closer to me and Kel. Kel found them a small duplex that's relatively cheap so they'll have room and a yard for their gardens. They both like to plant flowers and vegetables.' John sighed. 'Mom's only forty-nine, Chet. Remember, I'm not as old as you old farts at the station are.'
Chet let out a loud snort. 'Ain't that the truth. Does Roy know about your mom?'
'Yeah, but for some reason, my mom doesn't like Roy.' Johnny shrugged. 'I wonder if mom knows Roy's mother-in-law.' He shrugged again, 'Hmm oh well. Ya can't win 'em all.'
Kelly Bracket was sitting at his desk twiddling his thumbs. He too had found the notebook and was wondering how to approach his young lover about it. The two had a pact that they would keep no secrets from each other and at this moment he was feeling like that was what Johnny had been doing all this time. Keeping a very big secret from him.
Sighing, he stood and walked over to his bookshelf. He pulled down a book he had meant to have read by now but had kept putting it off, now seemed to be not only time to read it, but almost too late. He sat back down at his desk and opened to the first page and began reading. He was half-way through the third chapter when his phone rang reminding him of several patients he had to see and that he still had afternoon rounds to make before he could go home and hopefully get back to his book. He made sure to tuck the book away in his briefcase so he wouldn't forget it when he left for the day.
While he was on rounds he found a few minutes to talk to his favorite nurse, Dixie McCall, head of the Emergency Nurses and all around nice gal.
'Hey there, handsome,' Dixie smiled as she saw Kel walk up to the coffee pots sitting behind the nurses' station. 'What brings you to my neck of the woods?'
'I have a question to ask you and I need you to keep it just between us.' Kel poured both of them some coffee then looked at the blonde nurse with a serious expression. 'I'm not sure how to handle something and I think what I need is some advice from someone who's - I don't know, been there I guess…' Kel drifted off as he looked around trying to figure out what he wanted to say in the best way.
'Try just saying what's on your mind, Kel. You know that works wonders for me.' Dix gave Kel's arm a gentle squeeze. Even though their romance ended two years prior, their friendship hadn't and in fact it had seemed to have grown stronger and deeper over the years. 'Is it about Johnny?' Dix hazard a guess.
'In a way, yes.' Kel sighed, 'Can you come over tonight? Have dinner with us? Maybe with you there, I'll grow some balls and be able to talk to John and get what's on my mind off it and become less of what John is calling a grumpy bear.' He tried to smile but it didn't reach his eyes.
'Sure Kel, just tell me the time and I'll be there.' She smiled and gave the man a gentle hug. 'I so love you guys, you know that, right? I don't like it when you're hurting or upset about something. If you do decide to talk to me before dinner, you know where to find me.' She watched as Kel headed back to the elevator and his last two patients that he had admitted that morning and needed to check up on before his shift ended.
Gage Family Ranch
Roland Gage was hopping mad. His nine-year-old nephew was late coming home from school for the third time in a week. He was really beginning to regret taking in that boy. But as his mother had told him, family is family no matter where they come from. So, after his sister had died from the 'flu, and the boy's father had disappeared one night on the reservation, he had done his family duty and taken the boy in. Now, it didn't mean that the boy had to have a room in the house, so he slept in the wood shed until it was winter, then he slept in the cellar where the temperature was a constant forty degrees year round. It also didn't mean he had to have the newest of clothes or shoes or the same food his family ate, so he gave the boy the hand-me-downs from his older boy, Billy, and he got his meals after the family was done eating if there was any left, if not, he would get a sandwich or a bowl of cold cereal for dinner if he had all his chores and homework done by that time. The boy didn't as often was the case, so young John went to bed hungry most nights and woke up cold and achy most mornings wanting nothing more than a hot bowl of oatmeal or a plate of eggs he could smell his aunt May cooking on the stove when he entered the house for his morning meal and to get his school clothes and shoes as well as his books and homework.
'Did you get those horses fed and out to pasture, boy?' Roland called out to the boy as he sat at the table eating his breakfast.
'Yes, Sir.' John said quietly. 'They're all out, the stalls are clean and have new straw, and the water's been replaced in the trough.'
'Good, you did it on time too, I see. You can have something to eat this morning. Hurry up, you got fifteen minutes to eat and get ready for school, I'm not waiting for you.' Roland continued eating his breakfast and reading the morning paper. He watched his nephew out of the corner of his eye as the young boy sat at the far end of the kitchen table and ate the bowl of cold cereal his aunt had set in front of him.
John looked at the bowl and ate as fast as he dared, having choked on a few occasions and had the remaining food removed from his place resulting in him either going to school hungry or to bed hungry. After finishing the cereal and milk, he rushed to the laundry room where his school clothes were kept and quickly dressed and smoothed out his curly hair. He pulled on his shoes and grabbed his book bag and headed out the back door to run around to the front of the house where his Uncle was sitting with his kids in the truck waiting for John.
John climbed in the bed of the truck and sat down just as his uncle started the engine and threw the truck into gear almost tossing the small boy out of the bed.
The ride to school was uncomfortable for the boy as it seemed his uncle hit as many ruts and potholes as possible. John hung on as best as he could and sighed in relief when he felt the truck turn into the school's parking lot.
As the truck came to a halt, John jumped out and ran as quickly as he could to the building, not saying a word to his uncle. He didn't look back for fear he'd be hit or yelled at by either his cousin or his uncle. Once inside, the youngster headed for his classroom where he sat on the floor outside the door until the bell rang.
Brackett/Gage Home
Antelope Valley, CA
Kel walked around the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner while John entertained Dixie in the greatroom using the cats.
'Those are the cutest kittens I've ever seen.' Dixie laughed at Whiskers who was trying to chase Mouse out of her hiding place.
'Mouse wants absolutely nothing to do with Whiskers at this point and I can't say that I blame her, really,' John grinned then took a swig of beer before he spoke again, this time to the cats, 'Mouse, you know you can't hide all the time. You gotta come out and eat and use the box. You silly cat.' He reached into the "Kat Kondo" and was promptly scratched and met with a loud growl and hiss. 'Yes, ma'am!' John shrank back to the laughter of Kel and Dixie. 'That damn cat is gonna really hurt someone some day.'
'Not her fault her home was disrupted.' Kel said as he entered the room. 'Dinner's ready.' He added.
They all went to the table to eat and continue their conversation about the cats that were a big part of the family life.
Once the meal was finished and the dishes were in the kitchen, Kel brought out pot of coffee and a plate of John's favorite cookies and led them to the great room where they sat and chatted.
'Kel,' Dixie started, 'You said something earlier today that you wanted to ask me something?'
'Yes,' Kel looked from Dix to John, 'actually, I need to ask John something.' He pulled in a deep breath and blew it out slowly not really wanting to ask but needing to know the answer, 'I uh… I read your journal John and wanted you to know that I'd done that.'
John smiled, 'That's what's been buggin you all day?' John threw his arms around his lover and gave him a kiss. 'Oh Kel, when will you learn that I hold no secrets when it comes to you.'
'But you were keeping this from me, by not telling me that you were abused as a child by your Uncle Roland…' Kel broke off.
'Kelly Brackett, I was not hiding anything from you.' John said sternly. 'I just didn't tell you everything about my childhood because I didn't feel it was time to tell you. When you found my journal and read it, it became time. All you had to do was ask.' John gave Kel a squeeze, then looked at Dixie. 'See what I have to put up with?'
They both laughed as Kel mock frowned. 'Why I never…'
'Why not?' Dixie asked. 'I'm sure if you asked he'd provide.'
John couldn't control himself anymore, he fell off the couch in a fit of laughter like he hadn't had in a long time. He clutched his ribs protecting them as best he could. Kel sat there blushing as many shades red as he could turn, his Irish getting the best of him. Dixie enjoyed the whole scene. She walked over to John and knelt next to the man and patted him on the shoulder.
'You gonna live here, love?' She said between laughs. She then looked at Kel, 'Get over here and help your man up!'
Kel knelt down and helped John back up to the couch. 'Come on Johnny, let's get you seated more comfortably.'
The rest of the evening passed with the three friends talking candidly about John's childhood and what had happened to the young man while he lived with his Uncle Roland. By the time Dixie left, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Senior Deputy Whitney was killed when her unmarked cruiser was broadsided at an intersection with disabled traffic signals. A power outage had disabled the traffic signals and everyone was treating the intersection as a four way stop, which is California law when traffic signals do not work. After Deputy Whitney stopped she began to proceed through the intersection when the cruiser was struck on the driver's side door by a pickup truck who's driver failed to stop. She was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. The suspect, who was under the influence of methamphetamine, was found guilty of vehicular manslaughter in October 1999.
Senior Deputy Whitney was awarded Officer of the Year in 1996 and is survived by her husband, a police officer from another agency.

I am so impressed with the work that is being done by the wonderful staff. They are dedicated, smart, and capable. You see the joy the joy on their faces while doing such great work.
with very limited resources, pals is doing fantastic work for the at risk little girls in the very difficult & depressing setting of children trafficking. will continue to support and solicit support for your organization in whichever way i can. keep up the great work, thank you and good luck.
I'm recently a donor to PALS in the last 6 months and found they are professional and dedicated people, staff and volunteers inclusive. They are committed to the prevention of women trafficking and providing safe houses and re-habitation and reeducation to women returned from their keepers. I will total recommending PALS for any organization or individual who looking for a great cause to support. Keep up the great works PALS.
I know the work of Pacific Links first hand as I had the chance to see the projects in Vietnam. Two summers ago, I met hundreds of young girls in the Mekong delta who are able to attend school because of the scholarships they have received from the ADAPT program developed and supported by Pacific Links Foundation. I also witnessed the success of Pacific Links with trafficking victims. Over 24 young women enrolled in the Saigon's Chefs without Borders where training opportunities enable them to obtain decent, well-paid jobs in the food industry. These are but a few projects developed by Diep Vuong and her team throughout southern Vietnam with women and girls over the past 10 years. These young women would have so little chance in life without Pacific Links. I have been involved in the non-profit world for over forty years many of those years with the YWCA working with women and girls. The programs of Pacific Links are among the most meaningful if not the most overall. Lucille Panet-Raymond, Montreal, Canada
I have been a donor and also a volunteer in the context of providing volunteer experiences for students in a college class that I teach. Pacific Links Foundation does amazing work to educate young women and their families about the dangers of trafficking, to give those young women opportunities to say no to becoming trafficking victims, and to give victims of trafficking new hope even after suffering through this horrendous experience. I sometimes think they do this great work out of sheer passion and commitment because they have done so much with minimal staff and funding. They ask for little, and the people who know their work give generously because we know that every dollar packs a punch when left in their hands and that they will keep up the fight as long as a single girl is still being victimized.
Writing both as a past donor to PALS and as a not-for-profit professional working in Vietnam, I truly admire the work that Pacific Links is doing in Vietnam. Tackling the root causes and addressing the needs of victims of human trafficking is no easy task. The Pacific Links staff; however, do not dwell on the difficulties. Instead, the do all they can using the resources they are given. They are not afraid to innovate, they effectively employ volunteers to support their work. I was particularly impressed to see the way PALS engages the Vietnamese Diaspora, particularly those with social work skills, to support their work from abroad and in country. Every time I attend a PALS event, I am moved to tears, not because of the difficulties their beneficiaries are facing but because of the impact PALS is having on those women's lives and communities.

Who will be the Winner of Bigg Boss Season 10?
Are you curious to know that who will be the Winner of Bigg Boss Season 10? As big boss is most popular and most entertaining reality show on television these days. Due to fan following of Salman Khan Bigg boss is having higher TRP.
The gaining popularity of the show is generating interest among celebrities to enhance their career by being its part. The main theme of big boss house is that all contestants will be sheltered in big boss house under cameras observation and it is mandatory to follow all the rules of big boss house to have longer stay.
Now, this time big boss have come with new twist that common man can also participate in Bigg boss 10. Big boss has provided a tremendous opportunity and a great platform to the common man to proof themselves superior personalities. Number of contestant from India had participated but 8 commoners from India get final selection. These commoners are known as INDIA WALE and other 7 contestants are known as CELEBRITIES.
Who will be the Winner of Bigg Boss Season 10
Prediction for Final Winner of Bigg Boss Season 10
India's most favorable contestant in Bigg Boss house is Manveer Gujjar. As he is playing his game very nicely and the best part is that he is from INDIA WALE team. His journey in Bigg Boss house is incredible and also his moustache and his anger make females his fans. He comes from Haryana a normal family and now he has made his family so proud that his father also starts talking to him. His moustache has become fashion among boys, now he has become a celebrity so everyone is following his style.
As Lopamudra was a Femina Miss India 2014, an Indian model and beauty queen from the state of Maharashtra. In big boss house she is also playing fair. She took stand where anything goes wrong. The best part is that, she always took stand when anybody in the house gives wrong comment to any girl. Following of Lopa is also not less as she is Miss India so chances of her to win are also.
As we all know that how much popular Bani J is, over all big boss contestants. Big boss contestants also think that she will give a great compition in finale. In a conversation Manu Punjabi said to Manveer Gurjar and Nitibha Kaul that Bani's journey in the house is same as Gautam Gulati's in Bigg Boss 8. Nitibha also agreed to him and said that she will give a great compition to final contestants and as we all know that she was a winner of Roodies so no doubt her fan following is not less.
Chances of Manu Punjabi to win the show is around 40-50% because he plays task very nicely and give devotion in all conversation. He is the only man from commners who manage all INDIA WALE team. The best thing of Manu Punjabi in whole journey of big boss house is that when Priyanka speaks shits about his mother and he has given no reaction towards it. That moment he has stolen the heart of India. Salman Khan also appreciates him for that week.
In the first week of big boss house Mona Lisa was crying she doesn't want to go long in this game she can't shout every time for the thing other contestants were fighting. But after that when she safe in that week and Salman khan motivate him, and then he decided to play game and will not cry in future and play game strongly. Then, Manu Punjabi and Mona Lisa friendship started all the rumors against them were started. Her growth in big boss house can give her a chance to go in finale.
Nitibha Kaul is now playing good she is taking part in conversations. Also, she is taking stand against any wrong activity done in the big boss house. Now, a new chemistry between Manveer and Nitibha is attracting India. So, maybe she can also go long and as we all know that is very pretty that's why fans may be increased. Let's see the next eviction of big boss house who will be nominated.
As we all know that rohan is nominated for whole season so, it would be difficult to stay how long he is in big boss house. When he pushes swami OM in a task, it was against the rules of big boss house due to that big boss decided to nominate him for a whole season. But due to fan following of "Ye Rishta Kya Khelta Hai" maybe he gets a chance to be in finale.

A collection is built up over a period of years and remains crucial for any museum institution. The works make time stand still, they construct stories, establish correspondences, make you think, and also dream.
In the age of the Internet, the play of surfaces and immediacy, they invite us to keep an open mind and listen out for the complexity of the world and contemplation. A reminder that museum collections are inalienable, thereby placing them in a space that is both symbolic and real. Paradoxically they raise the question both of eternity and of the present.
This new hanging of the collection presents artists of different generations and from different backgrounds, who use a broad range of media.
These last few years, some major works have been added to the collection, with the aim of building up sets around recognized artists like Sophie Calle, Peter Friedl, Suzanne Lafont, Jean-Luc Moulène and Walid Raad, and some emerging artists as well. Often these acquisitions are made in close conjunction with the programme of exhibitions. The collection is added to through a commitment by the museum, but artists too make contributions through gifts, and loans to the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain.

CLIVE Palmer has been accused of sending the sacked general manager of his Coolum resort a $633,000 bill for food and accommodation – despite allegedly promising he could eat and live at the luxury hotel for free.
In court documents filed this week, Bill Schoch is suing his former boss for more than $4.6 million over an alleged breach of contract and misleading conduct, arguing he deceived him into signing a contract that effectively saw his total annual salary plummet from $1 million to $150,000. The two men had allegedly relied on oral agreements for years.
Coolum resort attracting criticism from guests
Clive Palmer ordered to pay in battle over resort
The documents – filed in response to a request for further particulars following the initial untested claim – allege Mr Palmer called Mr Schoch on June 8, 2011.
"Bill, work for five years for five million dollars, that's a salary of one million a year," Mr Palmer allegedly said. The MP last night denied making the comment.
He then supposedly told him he and his wife would be able to retire "comfortably". But a little over two years later, the relationship had soured.
About noon on December 8 last year, Mr Palmer allegedly told Mr Schoch by phone: "You don't have a contract for five years for five million dollars. Your (expletive) contract is for $150,000. Leave by Tuesday … Sue me."
Mr Schoch claims on December 13 he was told by letter that a per diem claim of $23,400 was being withheld. The per diem rate was allegedly $50 per day.
On April 10, Mr Schoch was allegedly invoiced for $633,150.14 in meals and accommodation by a representative for Mr Palmer.
"He's being invoiced for the services he had at the resort," Mr Palmer said last night. "He should really understand what the agreement says, I would have thought."
It comes after Mr Palmer revealed plans of another lawsuit. He plans to sue Queensland Premier Campbell Newman for defamation over the Premier's claims he used cash and job incentives to lure three Northern Territory MPs to his party.

Ivar Wigan is a 35-year-old Scottish photographer, based-in London. He started photographing for a long time ago, and mostly on film.
Ivar who has just been featured on our website loves to travel and take photos of rare, especial moments and places. He has a lot of reasons to love shooting film and would like to share with us his 5 main ones.
1. The film we shoot today has been engineered over generations to give us the colours that we love. The colour of digital images has no truth in it.
2. Film has grain and texture. Digital is flat.
3. Film lives in my draw. Digital files only exist as long as the device they are stored on.
4. Film shows people at their best. Digital shows peoples flaws. This is because the grain softens and disguises the detail of skin. Digital highlights every blemish.
5. Film is real. Digital is fake.

Charming Celeb-Inspired Hairstyles to Try
(Photo 5-1 <Source photo : Fashion Chosun - Jeon Do-Yeon, Jung Ryeo-Won, Ahn So-Hee, SISTAR's So You>)
You might think most men like long straight hair, but that's just a stereotype. With their urban-chic vibes, short or wavy hairdos can be very charming too – just look at Jeon Do-Yeon, or Ahn So-Hee! Now, why don't you try a fresher look? Here are some styling suggestions.
Wavy hair
Have you had long straight locks your whole life? Switch things up a little like Jeon Do-Yeon and Jung Ryeo-Won. Both are spotting natural-looking wavy hair, while Ahn So-Hee and So You favour elegant curls. Tip: Achieve voluminous and wavy hair by drying freshly-shampooed tresses completely before applying S curls to the ends of your hair. Then, comb through your hair repeatedly and finish off with a pump or two of curling essence.
(Photo 5-2 <Source photo : Fashion Chosun - Han Ji-Min, Park Min-Ji, Nam Ji-Hyun, Oh Jung-Yeon>)
Short 'dos
They say once you go short, you can't go back – and it's true! A chic bob or boyish cut can be your best fashion statement. Han Ji-Min looks stylish, while Park Ji-Min pulled off her choppy, short cut well. Otherwise, you can always opt for a classic sleek look like Nam Ji-Hyun and Oh Jung-Hyun!

Rajon Rondo ran layup lines in the first quarter for the Celtics.BOSTON -- Rapid reaction after the Boston Celtics defeated the New York Knicks 96-93 in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Tuesday night at TD Garden. Boston now holds a 2-0 lead as the series shifts to New York.
Rajon Rondo scored a career postseason-high 30 points on 13-of-23 shooting, while adding seven assists and four rebounds, while Kevin Garnett produced 12 points and 10 rebounds -- hitting the winning basket and providing a key late-game stop -- as the Celtics again pulled ahead in the final seconds of a dizzying fourth quarter. Without Chauncey Billups (left knee strain) and Amare Stoudemire (left with back spasms), Carmelo Anthony tried to will the Knicks to victory, scoring 42 points on 14-of-30 shooting with 17 rebounds, but it wasn't enough.
Nursing a one-point cushion with little more than four minutes to play in the third quarter, the Celtics embarked on 12-2 run to build a 11-point bulge. Ray Allen ignited the burst with a 3-pointer, Jeff Green contributed a triple along the way and Paul Pierce capped it with a pair of jumpers for a 74-63 lead with 44 ticks to play in the third.
It should have been enough, but the Celtics couldn't cool off Carmelo. Anthony scored the final four points of the third frame, then produced nine of the first 13 to start the fourth as the Knicks rallied ahead on his jumper with just less than eight minutes to play. After seesaw play, the Knicks grabbed two offensive rebounds while trailing by a point late and Jared Jeffries produced a layup to put the Knicks on top 93-92 with 19.3 seconds to play. That's when KG took over with a little bunny in the lane for the pivotal bucket.
After finishing with a 10-rebound edge in Game 1, the Celtics got annihilated on the glass. The Knicks boasted a 53-37 advantage, turning 20 offensive caroms into 24 second-chance points, which allowed them to hang around as long as they did.
Pierce might have been on the wrong side of Anthony's 42 points, but he did all he could in the final moments to force the ball out of his hands (and Boston's constant double-team with Glen Davis aided that cause). Pierce chipped in 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting over 45 minutes.
The Celtics sure don't like making things easy on themselves. Even without two of its three stars, New York hung around on the offensive exploits of Anthony and the Celtics' aversion to rebounding. Yet again, however, the Celtics produced the big plays when they mattered most, leaning on a rare late-game hero in Garnett (Pierce and Ray Allen are normally the go-to guys down the stretch).

Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian assured hundreds of employees of Armenia's largest chemical plant on Tuesday that they will finally receive their back wages next month.
Abrahamian met representatives of the workers as they again demonstrated outside his office to demand more than one year's worth of back pay and the reactivation of the troubled Nairit giant. He said President Serzh Sarkisian has told the Armenian government to "find financial means" to eliminate the wage arrears by July 15. Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yervand Zakharian will set up a special commission for that purpose, added Abrahamian.
The workers' representatives communicated this pledge to the angry crowd standing outside the government building. "They have found a positive solution to our problem," one of them said.
But many protesters were skeptical about the assurances. "We won't believe them until we get our money," one man told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
Abrahamian said in March that the government, which now effectively controls Nairit, is not responsible for the company's wage debt estimated at around $15 million.
The Soviet-built plant has barely operated since 2011. The government laid off 1,700 of its workers in January.
Abrahamian on Tuesday also discussed with the workers ways of salvaging the plant. He said the government is open to "reasonable, realistic and substantiated" proposals to that effect.
Zakharian said last month that a recent audit conducted by the World Bank concluded that Nairit would remain a loss-making business if it were to be reactivated. But the minister insisted that the government still thinks that the company can avoid liquidation.
