Announcing Financial Assistance for Camp New Friends
Camp New Friends, part of the Brainy Camp network, has a history of changing the lives of children with NF. The week-long program is staffed by neurologists, nurses, social workers and counselors, all trained in dealing with issues associated with NF. Camp New Friends provides a safe environment for children ages 7 through 17, and is located in West Virginia. It will be held from July 16 - July 22, 2017.

NF Central Plains gives THANKS to those attended and to those who helped make a successful
Day of iNFormation!
Saturday, April 9, 2016 proved to be a successful day for NF Central Plains. Our hope was to host a day full of information as well as opportunity to meet others in the NF community. That hope became a bright reality for us as our attendance gathered about 30-40 people.
The day featured a welcome and presentation of what NF Advocacy is doing by Executive Director of the NF Network, Kim Bischoff. Followed by a day of presentations from speakers near and far on insurance issues, social challenges/learning disabilities, research updates, Camp New Friends (summer camp for children-teens with NF), and a few personal stories from those who have NF. A light lunch was also served allowing attendees the chance to visit as well as check out the many NF materials on display.
We'd like to give many thanks to Black & Veatch for the use of event space and to the Center for Advanced Professional Studies for preparing publicity materials and the programs.

CHARTER OF THE AGORA (English)
Page 1 sur 1 • Partagez •
CHARTER OF THE AGORA (English)
AGORA is a discussion's forum for French study / reflection and practice of spirituality, philosophy and way of life, directly or indirectly inspired by ancient Greece and Rome's cultures.
Participation in the forum AGORA, and all associated projects (website, meetings, joint work, publications ...) tacitly implies respect and full acceptance of this charter
A. The objectives of the forum AGORA
1 - Represent
In a city, an Agora/a forum was a cosmopolitan and open, conducive to trade.
Agora is open to anyone interested (in one way or another) in Greece and Rome cultures. Anyone is welcome here.
The forum represents AGORA's people, privately or collectively who practice and / or studying the spirituality of Greece and ancient Rome in a peaceful and free, without any distinction whatsoever.
Basically, AGORA forum is a gathering non-communitarian, non-sectarian and fully respectful of individual freedom.
Other cultures and beliefs have also "citizenship", as the exchanges are for the good of the Agora, and citizens (members of the Agora)
3 - Making Connections
AGORA Forum intends to promote meetings and meeting people with a common interest in spirituality of the ancient Greeks and Romans, by:
- The provision of a virtual space on the Internet (website, forum, Facebook page etc ...)
- Organizing meetings between people around the neo-pagan spirituality
4 - A lively contemporary practice
AGORA forum encourages dialogue and mutual assistance among its members in the reflection and Transposition of spirituality and philosophy of Greek or Roman daily, so entirely free and without constraints of any kind.
This is a "lifestyle", a philosophy that fits in harmony with others and the environment group or private.
From this perspective, the study of past wisdom and ancient philosophy is only useful if it enriches our present and is translated into responsible action, respectful of others and oneself.
B. The principles of AGORA forum
1. Show respect
AGORA forum adheres to the principles enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Citizen, and the Convention of Rights of the Child. We condemn unreservedly and unambiguously practices contrary to human dignity.
Members do not see themselves as holders of a truth, but seeking their own personal truth.
Therefore, they must respect the choices and thoughts of other faiths and other neo-pagan traditions, without distinctions.
AGORA rejects any form of racial, cultural, religious or sexist.
Proselytizing or incitement to religious hatred has no place in the Forum or any involvement of AGORA rally
friendliness and humility are the golden rules,
we do not claim to represent the "wisdom and knowledge" of ancient Greece and Rome, but simply to share and discuss all the themes that we have inherited from their cultures today, in a free, friendly, humble and above
we think that each member brings his own contribution here, however small it is, and this is the real engine of wealth of a forum, because our wealth is also our differences
2. Law enforcement
AGORA prohibits any event likely to prejudice public order or state's authority. It emphasize respecting the secularity principle of the French state and French-speaking countries
3. Prohibition on proselytism
Proselytism means individuals seeking behaviour to attract new adherents to their faith, directly or indirectly, without that they do have hoped.
Any behaviour proselytizing is frowned upon in this project, whether on the part of members of Greek or Roman tradition to non-Pagans or the inverse of people present on non-pagan places of our meetings (forums, Facebook, meetings real ...) to members.
4 - The status of minors
Those aged under 18 are not allowed in the activities organized within the forum AGORA, such as meetings, access to the private area or any other direct participation.
We consider that a spiritual orientation is an important decision, deliberate, and not influenced.
Areas of public discussion forum remain open to accommodate them unsolicited information, as well as those of their parents.
5 - Respect for the environment
Forum members AGORA themselves as "heirs" of a spiritual tradition where man is known to be intimately linked to its natural environment.
AGORA encourages its members to have a respectful attitude for the living, natural resources and conservation sites in our daily actions.
6 - Science and Religion
Forum AGORA, whose field of action is philosophical, spiritual, does not place himself in opposition to modern science.
From this perspective, the study of ancient texts and myths can not be utilized as a framework for promoting creationist theories, or even a denial of progress and scientific theories, motivated by dogma, which would be contrary to it.
Instead our steps of research and understanding of the ancient Greece and Rome culture are enriched by recent archaeological discoveries, historical and scientific works.
"Il n'est pas possible, Citoyens, non,
il n'est pas possible de constituer par l'injustice,
par le parjure, par le mensonge,
une puissance qui dure."

A Biblical Marathon
Through personal experience having a friend to train with for an endurance event makes all the difference in the world. When you lose momentum, their support and encouragement forces you to strive for your goal, even when you begin to doubt your own abilities. They make you get up on those rainy days and lace up your shoes, when all you want to do is stay in bed and hit the snooze button a few more times. Their commitment inspires you to constantly up the bar, and see how far you can push yourself. Now most of you have figured out I am referring to one of my passions running, but this is where it gets a little tricky.
I am going to apply my running determination and skills to a new type of marathon, a bible marathon! Yes folks, this means I have moved onto phase two of my Biblical Experiment! I am sure you are wondering what the hell is a "bible marathon?" Well it's quite simple; I am going to read all 66 books of the bible. Yeah, you read that right! All 66 books baby! Being a religion virgin until recently I used to claim ignorance whenever the topic came up and had no desire to learn about this so-called foreign language. Now that I have my feet wet it's time to jump into the deep end of the pool. I figured if I am trying to discover my own faith and what it means to me; what better way to get the entire picture about religion and God than reading all 66 books!
I know this is a very ambitious task so I have enlisted the help of my good friend Anthony as my reading partner and trainer. The idea of the marathon started out as a bit of a lark between us. After I finished Genesis I was extremely proud of myself! When I told Anthony, he asked how I liked it and if I would read another book? I said sure and he jokingly suggested reading all 66 books. I quickly asked how many books he had read since he has a Christian background and his response was one. Being cheeky I suggested I would give it a go, if he was willing to take the journey with me and to my surprise he agreed! The deal was sealed and no turning back now! He downloaded the Bible Gateway app as well and was good to go!
Now back to Anthony's previous question about how I liked Genesis? I can honestly say it really wasn't what I expected. Whenever someone mentioned church, the bible or a priest for that matter my brain would automatically associate with past movies or TV shows as a reference. The ones that stick out the most for me are: Blues Brothers 2000, Monty Python's Life of Brian, The Exorcist, or the television show Supernatural. I assumed the bible would be a slightly challenging read like Shakespeare, but I was pleasantly surprised.
What I really enjoyed was how it read like an actual story explaining how God created the world in seven days, which for some reason I wasn't expecting. I am not convinced that it went down like that for real, but I am not dismissing the notion either. God was clever to test Adam and Eve with "the tree of knowledge of good and evil" and surprise they failed the test even though she was influenced by a snake! I totally saw that one coming. It is an interesting angle God took by setting out to punish women by making pregnancy painful. That is an ultimate slap in the face! It says God created humanity in his own image; does that mean everyone is a reflection of God and if so what about people that have a less desirable personal nature? Is this just providing balance to the world?
The most overwhelming part of it was the surplus of names. I swear someone should put this stuff on Ancestry.com for easy referencing and if they did it would be the biggest family tree on the site. I knew there was no way I could retain what child was born to which parent so I had to come to terms quickly with not absorbing all the minor genealogy details and focus on the story itself.
I also loved the entire bit involving Noah and the ark, even though the concept is a little merciless. I don't know how many movies over the years I have seen that referenced this, but it was good to finally get some clarity going on the subject. Now it was pretty harsh of God to wipe out everyone except the elite few that he favored, but by the sounds of it, there was no choice. The way I see it, God basically went on a trial run creating civilization and well things didn't really go as planned so he had to abort the mission, wash his hands and start from scratch again. I can understand his heartbreak and how frustrating that must have been, but sometimes there is just no fixing what is broken. I think it was also a good idea when God said, "My breath will not remain in humans forever, because they are flesh. They will live 120 years." Personally having a life of about 900 years is a little over the top, and wouldn't this also contribute to over population problems down the road?
Now there were numerous other parts that really threw me for a loop and surprised me. I am not complaining as they made the story interesting, but it was just unexpected. In chapter 19, verse 4 it reads, 'Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom- everyone from the youngest to the oldest- surrounded the house and called to Lot, "Where are the men who arrived tonight? Bring them out to us so that we may have sex with them."' I seriously thought this was the last thing I would find in the bible and to make matters worse Lot said no and instead offered up his own virgin daughters as good faith to the angry mob. He totally gets the father of the year award for that one!
In chapter 22, Abraham was tested by God and instructed to sacrifice his own son Isaac. He believed so strongly in his faith and was ready to follow through on the gruesome task, until the Lord's messenger intervened. The messenger explained that since Abraham displayed such devotion to God, that he no longer had to kill his and would be rewarded with riches and countless decedents. So he gambled with his own flesh and blood and came out on top. Winner, winner chicken dinner!
What is even more messed up is chapter 38 focuses on prostitution. A woman named Tomar posed as a prostitute so she can trick her own father in law into having sex with her. He found out he had been deceived and wanted the prostitute to burn, until he discovered who she was and let it slide. That would make for an interesting family reunion.
Overall I found Genesis contained all the elements of a mainstream movie; mass murder, suspense, adultery, betrayal, incest, love, and violence. It managed to keep me entertained, while staying educational. Despite some of the darker elements Genesis beautifully illustrated the creation of the heavens and earth; light and darkness; seas and skies; land and vegetation; sun, moon and stars; animals and human beings; family, society and civilization; and sins versus redemption.
Through some new enlightenment supplied by my readings, this now former religion virgin can proudly say I have officially changed my Facebook religious status from a Hunter S. Thompson quote, "Call on God, but row away from the rocks," to Agnostic. Where will reading the remaining 65 books take me? Who knows, but I am excited for the journey.

The court system is far from perfect, and in some cases it misses the mark on being fair and effective. Often, actual and perceived flaws in the system involve highly sensitive areas where courts, even when doing "good", foster a miscarriage of justice. Child support, for many, is one such area.
In Utah, child support services are carried out by the Office of Recovery Services. The agency helps with things such as locating parents and enforcing child support obligations. In addition to Recovery Services, parents not on public assistance can hire an attorney or a private collection agency to assist in child support collection efforts. While child support does certainly help the custodial parent with a child's financial needs, it sometimes creates a hardship for the paying parent. So, what happens when one refuses or is unable to pay?
Sometimes a parent who is ordered to pay child support doesn't do so. In today's economy this is often due to being unemployed or under-employed, but there are parents who are fully capable of paying yet refuse. When a parent fails to meet a child support obligation, there are several steps a court may take to encourage payment.
The method used to recover a child support obligation will usually depend on the amount of money owed and the reason for non-payment. In attempting to convince a parent to pay, courts will report the missed payments to credit bureaus, revoke driver and professional licenses, and even deny visas. If that proves unsuccessful, courts will garnish tax returns and paychecks, place liens on bank accounts and personal property, even seize lottery winnings. While usually reserved for serial offenders, courts routinely send people to jail on contempt charges for non-payment, setting a purge amount which the non-paying parent can pay to be released. This has to be based upon the parent's ability to pay such an amount.

Captured Tracks have just signed Catwalk! So hopefully we can expect some new music from them soon. CT have also released a new Blank Dogs album, which is actually quite good, and he's out on tour in Europe soon. Beach Fossils are coming to Europe too, hot on the heels of a new single. "Face It" is just as good as their album from earlier this year. The a-side has a bit more bass-heavy drum machine groove to it, while the excellent b-side "Distance" leads off with a droning 12-string riff. Whatever happened to "Time" by the way? Woodsist didn't seem to release it, which is a shame since it's probably Beach Fossils' best song. The Brooklyn group are playing in Lund on November 4th and Don't Die On My Doorstep will be DJing some of our fave Captured Tracks records along with the odd Sacred Bones or HoZac 7".
If you act fast you've got a chance of buying one of the 400 copies of this silkscreened Aias debut longplayer. Captured Tracks is offering this alternate sleeve (and white wax record) for early birds. Do we need to mention how great the songs are? Well, most of them have been on Myspace forever so you probably know.
We'll we back with more news on the Vermillion Sands and The Limiñanas debut lps soon!

For this design i wanted something special for my favourite Auntie
so i went with hand coloured stamped topper. These roses match the french collection of dies. Auntie Mary loves yellow roses, hence the colour. i used my alcohol pens and shaded the roses i mounted the finished piece on to a plum mat and then a double matt of milk and plum, each layer cut from the french collection. I also added a sentiment into the blank area.
I cut two layers to mount my finished centre piece. For the smaller layer i embossed the milk piece with the eternal ivy embossing folder and then mounted it, onto another piece of plum card and then on to a plain matt and layer.
I added a purple ribbon bow as this is her favourite colour..... and mine.
Finished design 8 x 8 inches
She loved it.... Hope you do too

My makeup and beauty hates
Firstly, I hate nude lips with a passion. I know many people love it but I don't think it looks good on anyone at all. The rare occasion that it will look ok is in an editorial shoot and even then, I still won't like it much at all. I don't understand how anyone thinks it looks nice. I can understand in having neutral lips if you're wearing a lot of eye makeup but you don't need to have them looking completely nude as if you've covered them in foundation and powder. I can't understand why anyone would purchase a lipstick in this shade purely to wear alone. I've never liked it and never will and I always cringe when I see someone walking around like it thinking it looks lovely, it doesn't.
For the same reasons I really don't like it when people don't apply any colour to their cheeks. You only end up looking ill in my opinion. If you're going to apply foundation and everything else then at least apply a little colour to the cheeks.
(This is the best image I could find but I'm sure you get my point.)
I know a lot of people love them but I can't stand long fake nails or even real ones for that matter. I don't bite my nails and can easily grow them really long but I just think it looks tacky (plus they're annoying!) I also can't stand nails that are too curvy, like below. They need to be slightly squared off a little. I admit I'm hard to please when it comes to nails, I don't even like my own half the time!
Lastly, well, obviously there are other things I don't like either like not matching your foundation correctly but this one will be the last I put here anyway and it's unshapely eyebrows. A lot of the time when I see them, they've clearly been over plucked but other times I often bump into the same people who've had the same shape for years and it's just totally wrong for them. I can usually see the shape they're trying to create but they often end up with something like below instead. It's a lot better to go to a professional if you can't create the shape you're after rather than end up with dreaded tadpole eyebrows.
What are your makeup and beauty hates?

I have to agree with all of these, especially the nude lips one! I just can't understand the trend for 'concealer' lips, I really can't...ReplyDelete
I cannot pull off concealer-nude lips. Peachy/pinky nudes are lovely though!ReplyDelete
Eyebrows...for sure. Hate rounded eyebrows...doesn't matter whether they're natural or plucked funny I just can't stand them! Always give the person a constant look of surprise.
Don't like long nails to the point where they curl. Uncomfortable and yuck.
Really...really hate thick highlights. If they're a bit quirky and there's just one or two, fine...but a head full of thick 2 inch blonde highlights on dark hair is just yeuch and outdated!
Ahhh the eyebrows! I'm a fiend when it comes to that, I always notice eyebrows and if they're tacky, it bothers me so much!ReplyDelete
I'm a complete culprit of the nude lips, mine are naturally really pigmented and dark red so I use them to lighten them up a bit so they're not so garish! Agree with the false nails though, I don't understand the appeal in having really long fingernails xReplyDelete
Not having matching foundation is also a pet peeve of mine. Its amazing to see women still sporting a two tone look LOL! Great post XOXOReplyDelete
i agree. i also hate when girls make their eyelashes look like spider legs... *shudder*ReplyDelete
agree to all ,,ReplyDelete
1- i cannot function ( use my blackberry , laptop or even apply makeup ) with long nails
2- i have tattooed eyebrows ,, so obviously in a " Devil style " thats the straight line eyebrows ,,, hateee em .. and girls think they so cool .
3- not matching foundation ,, esp when ur tanned ! ,, and end up with a white face and dark body
4- lining ur lips with close to black liner and not filling them in ,, so dark line and pink lips ,, no no ,, ppl who still do that ,,, do they really feel pretty ?
I think nude lips are on of those things that work just in an editorial and u can't translate them into real life ( same way like u can't translate some runway looks into real life). It is just for show.ReplyDelete
Fake nails am not even getting into...
Agree on all counts! :-)
+ + + + + + + + + + +
love this post! haha those eyebrows are beautiful...! I do like nude lips though and false nails can look so tacky! xxReplyDelete
I hate it when girls just put on too much make-up, even people with acne don't have to cover all their face, see the tutorial of Lisa Eldridge: http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/12764/acne-covering-make-up/ I like it a lot.ReplyDelete
I completely agree with you!!! Fake or long nails are so tacky, I don't like them at all :/ReplyDelete
Dani - I really can't either. If they were meant to be that colour, they would be!ReplyDelete
Chrissy - I agree, Peachy/pinky nudes are lovely, although I don't like wearing them much myself and nails that curl? Yuck! Also don't like thick highlights, why not just have a whole head of colour if they're going to be that thick?
Aimee - I always notice them, too. You can't help but imagine how much nicer they could be can you? haha.
GoldenGlow - I envy you, I would love for mine to be naturally dark!
Venus In Virgo - It is, I think they must get ready in the dark or something and thanks!
Aubrey - I forgot about that, I also hate it, especially when someone is clearly going for the natural look and then they have obvious spider legs lashes.
Princess Feef - Ah yes, I hate that, too. I think some people are still stuck in the 90s!
Maya - So true!
Adele - Haha aren't they just!?
heylila - Very true, less is definitely more when it comes to make up and I shall have to check it out!
Stavroula - They are, I struggle to see what's appealing about them at all to be honest.
I completely agree with you at all points except the cheeks. As I usually put my make up in last few minutes I always forget about blush. But I still have my natural blush after running a little to not get late. So I just trying not to use lots of make up on my face
Oh and I HATE fake nails! Everybody who think it can looks nice or beautiful (common people are you blind? it's sucks!) are just diots or don't have taste at all.
Better to have short tidy nails than long claws-liked ugly acrilic monsters )
Couldn't agree more with the entire post lol! Hate nude lips yuck!ReplyDelete
Urgh tadpole eyebrows!!ReplyDelete
I agree with everything you wrote! Especially the blush thing. If I didn't apply blush I would look like Casper!ReplyDelete
I hate when people don't blend their eye shadows well too!
I don't think I can really add anything to this list, I agree with everything.ReplyDelete
Although I hardly ever wear blush, but then again I don't wear foundation either so I guess that's ok then;) And I don't like it when blush is overdone either, so I'd rather stay a bit more natural.
Oh, what I personally don't like seeing is people who only wear mascara but then lots of it. I don't think it adds anything and it's so hard to recognize them when they didn't have the time to put it on one day.
Ah, one more. Silver eyeshadow only on the lid and not blended at all. No one looks good with that!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous29 November 2010 at 10:28
I find the eyebrow section highly amusing. And i agree to the ill-looking without blusher part. Although i don't like overdone ones either.ReplyDelete
xoxo, http://heelsandwedges.blogspot.com
I cannot stand unshapely eyebrows either, especially if they're tweezed pencil thin! And fake nails are beyond tacky. Another beauty no no that bugs me is when people wear eyeshadow only without mascara or eyeliner!ReplyDelete
Finally, I've been looking for a good beauty blog! Thanks!
hahaha those eyebrows are terrible! that is just the most unfortunate thing a person can do to their face...other than facial tattoosReplyDelete
long fake nails.grrrrr...hate them!!!!ReplyDelete
i agree with the unshapely eyebrows, i call them upside down nike ticks and they really bother me, i can not look at a person and take them seriously when they have those eyebrows. It should be made a public crime and punishable!ReplyDelete

By Samuel Oyadongha
YENAGOA—Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, yesterday, declared that the six years of his administration has been used to place the state on the path of development, prosperity and greatness.
Dickson stated this during the thanksgiving service at the Gloryland Chapel, Government House, Yenagoa, to mark the sixth anniversary of his administration.
He said though the journey was rough with distractions such as economic challenges, his administration remained focused on delivery of quality infrastructure in education, health and others.
The governor, who sang praises to God alongside with his wife, Rachael, noted that despite the challenges, temptations and victories, his administration in partnership with the people of the state, has steered Bayelsa on the path of development and prosperity.
Meanwhile, former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, is expected to visit Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, to commission projects as part of activities marking the anniversary.
Already, the state government has renamed Glory Drive Gateway to Yenagoa from the East-West Road as Olusegun Obasanjo Drive.

Where have all the grown-ups gone? Not to the movies.
That's the message in the surprising results of the Hollywood Christmas season.
Movies for kids are doing swell. Steven Spielberg's much anticipated "Hook," despite a spate of less than admiring reviews, has proven stubbornly critic-proof, though it still is falling far short of the revenue torrents generated by "Batman," the director's own "E.T." or even last summer's "Terminator 2." But after a somewhat dismal start, the movie has consistently finished first since its Dec. 11 opening, and has made close to $60 million in its first three weeks of release.
Meanwhile, bearing the endorsement of nearly everybody except possibly the president and the pope, Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" continues to draw the vacation dollars. The brilliant animated feature, probably the best-reviewed film of the season and possibly the first animated feature to receive a Best Picture nomination (Golden Globe variety), has earned a total ot $63 million. More importantly, the film, which had slipped in the ratings since its release in early December, rebounded strongly to the No. 2 position.

David against GoliathMonday, May 31st, 2010
Recently, I visited Presqu'ile Provincial Park whose main purpose was to photograph Mute Swans with their cygnets. During one of my daily excursions, I witnessed a rather unusual scene: a Red-winged Blackbird defending his territory against a Swan a little too intrusive. A scene like "David against Goliath" was unfolding before my eyes …

The VC Game
Charles River Ventures gets over 1,000 requests a year, looking for money. How does it choose?
For entrepreneurs with an idea for a high-tech product, a visit to the offices of Charles River Ventures Inc. can be a humbling experience.
Bruce Sachs, a partner at the Waltham, Mass., venture-capital firm, recalls the entrepreneur who came to see him last fall with an idea for revolutionizing the country's telephone network, a proposal the man said would put all of the existing carriers out of business. During the 90-minute meeting with Mr. Sachs, the aspiring entrepreneur, referred by a former business associate of Mr. Sachs,...

How Long have you worked at your current job?
Do you enjoy it?
ALmost 6 mos exactly. And yep, I enjoy it.
one year and one month, almost exactly. i enjoy it, but i'm getting a little sick of it. it's just a part time job for school, though, so it could be a lot worse.
About two months. I love the people I work with, but I'm getting tired of the actual job.
I work for my father's business in No. VA. I've worked since he started it 3 years ago..planning on working here as long as possible. He eventually wants to sell it & retire to Florida. I have no complaints about my job.
i've had my own studio with my bf, we're doing photography, film, documentary & graphic design. i love doing this, i'm glad i quit my office 4 years ago
I start my new job on Monday! Hopefully I will like it better than my old job.
I've been at the same company 7 years but have had about just as many jobs. 3 have been promotions, however. Current one, loving it but I'm still interviewing for the next big thang.
Six weeks. I like it so far.
Almost 2 years. It's getting more challenging and I like it and I hope to stay here for a long time.
17 Years the beginning of last month.
3 years with my current company (VP of the healthcare division with 200+employees). 11 years total in consulting with other firms including big 4. 15 years on the hospital side so a total of 26 years in healthcare, and have been in management since 1984. Its stressful and demanding, but I have been in healthcare since I was a candystriper. Love the field.
ive been in my position for 5 1/2 months.. however, i've been with the company for a little over 2 years now..
Training was a month and I've only actually been working about three months, so far I like it.

The Craft Guild of Chefs is seeking the next generation of talent with the launch of its annual Young National Chef of the Year competition.

The remaining six finalists will be revealed following the semi-finals, to which 20 young chefs from recognised, industry competitions will be invited to compete. The semi-finals will be held at Sheffield College on Tuesday June 12 and at Le Cordon Bleu in London on June 19 to coincide with The National Chef of the Year semi-finals.
David Mulcahy, the competition organiser and vice president of the Craft Guild of Chefs, says, "Young National Chef of the Year supersedes all other young chef contests as it brings together those identified as the best young chefs in the industry and gives them a platform on which to build their future careers. Not only does it celebrate young talent but it ensures that the young chefs are mentored and supported throughout, enabling them to achieve their best in the final. Winning Young National Chef of the Year firmly establishes a chef as a rising star of the culinary world both in the UK and beyond."
Mark Sargeant, Young National Chef of the Year 1996 will continue in his role as Young National Chef of the Year Ambassador and has high expectations.

The Boutique
This small and intimate studio and boutique was founded by Leslie Fraley and first opened its doors in November of 2013 in Kansas City. Finefolk's captivating collection of artistic wares has garnered a loyal following for the selection of lifestyle goods that are all made with integrity by gifted designers and artists. In order to accommodate the boutique's growing selection, Finefolk moved to a larger location which now has even more room for artful homewares, books and beauty products as well as clothing. With designers like Lauren Manoogian, Black Crane and Maryam Nassir Zadeh, we're basically in heaven.
The Designer
The sister duo behind Building Block joined forces in 2011 after feeling the need to escape their respective design silos. Kimberly Wu was designing cars in Tokyo and Nancy was designing for Nike before they moved to Los Angeles to start their own line of minimalist accessories. Their simple, geometric bags feature unexpected elements like rubber tubing, wooden balls and brass rods for distinctive styles that are quirky, yet totally timeless.


text: Nat King Cole has been a genius to sing it once or twice. But as far as Im concerned,we often see life as pink so much when we're blue, we just see our darkest fears as our happiness shadow. So I can't (I guess) see life so pink while my eyes are black and the sky is blue and the clouds are white and the rainbow etc. Life is a perfect mixture of every simple color. "Que feras tu s'il ne te prends plus dans ses bras ou qu'il ne te parle plus tout bas? La vie ne serait t'elle plus aussi sensée?!" My life is as ebony as my violin, as green as all my hopes fortunately and red for all danger I may face up now and later, ready or not

One of our favorite UK cheap & chic retailers, TopShop & TopMan, is coming to the US in October, NYC to be exact, and they are bringing all of the charm of it's London flagship with it–complete with a celebrity VIP suite! They can keep the Kate Moss line though…even Barney's got tired of it after a while. {WWD}
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown's controversial terror detention plan was passed by a slender vote in the House of Common's last night. Basically now in the UK, suspected terrorists can be held, without charges or explanation for up to 42 days. Charges of "vote buying" are running rampant. {Guardian}
From the late 1800's to the late 1970's hundreds of thousands of Native Indian children in Canada were taken out of their homes and sent to state-run boarding schools , so they could "Christianize" and assimilate into Canadian society….similar to what happened in Australia at the same time. Fast forward to 2008, the Canadian govt is issuing a formal apology…for some, it is too little, too late. {BBC}
Let the elderly have sex! I fully support my mom "doing it" after 80 if it makes her happy! Click on the link to see what I mean. {Slate}
Hmmm, are you like me and wondering about Kwame Kilpatrick these days, since the drama went nationwide? Well, it seems that a former bodyguard has filed another whistle-blower lawsuit this week. He claims he was harassed and bullied while employed during the various investigations on the Detroit Mayor. Here we go again! {DFP}

Football News: Review Of The Day 28th January 2018
Image from: grape-fruit.com
Review of the Day
Newport Boss Hails Huge FA Cup Result
Despite the disappointment of conceding a late equaliser, Newport County manager Mike Flynn was delighted with the result his team earned in the FA Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. The 4th Round replay at Wembley will earn the club a huge amount. "The players have made me the proudest manager in the country," Flynn said. "It's huge. It can save clubs, not just keep you ticking over. I'm hoping it's on TV again because that's an extra bit of money. You wouldn't believe me how much it's needed. That's not a sob story, it is what it is in League Two and a lot of League One clubs. It feels we're in a nice position to be able to provide for the football club. We turn over £2.2m a year as a club and a business and I would say with this cup run it's going to be in excess of £700,000. It's huge. It allows us to lay foundations for the future and do things right. We've got good people running this club and I'm sure they'll make the right decisions."
Warm Weather Training Helped Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo has hailed the winter warm weather training camp in Spain for helping Wolves to victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday. The Midlands club headed off to Marbella after a long unbeaten run was ended by Nottingham Forest beating them 2-0. "It was not about going there and just sitting in the sun," Nuno told BBC WM: "The boys worked really hard and it creates bonds that are important between them."
Celtic Hit By Injury Trouble
A 1-0 win over Hibs was marred for Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers by injuries to two key players. Leigh Griffiths, who scored the goal, suffered a recurrence of a calf problem and is likely to struggle to be ready for the next game in the Europa League against Zenit St Petersburg. There was also a potentially serious knee injury to goalkeeper Craig Gordon caused by a collision with former Celtic defender Efe Ambrose at the end of the first half. "Both are struggling," said Rodgers. "Craig looks a bit more serious in terms of his knee. We need to have a look at that and the scan because he could be out for a period of time. Efe's weight maybe twisted his MCL (medial collateral ligament) so we will see how that is."
Hughton No Hesitation Picking Murray
Despite Glenn Murray and his wife being arrested on suspicion of tax fraud on Tuesday, Brighton manager Chris Hughton has told reporters that he had no hesitation about picking the forward, who scored the winner against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup 4th Round win. "He's been focused as normal and I had no hesitation in bringing him off the bench," said Hughton.
Moyes Hits Out At Masuaku's 'Despicable' Spit
After West Ham suffered defeat against League One leaders Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, David Moyes was quick to condemn one of his own players after a spitting incident which saw him sent off. Arthur Masuaku saw a straight red after reacting to a challenge by Nick Powell by spitting at him and now faces a lengthy ban, at a time when the Hammers have been hit by injuries to key players, including Pedro Obiang who was stretchered off with a knee injury. "He will deserve everything he gets and he will get something he deserves from us. It's unacceptable," said Moyes. "It was despicable. I've not seen it from him. We like him, he's a really good boy around the club. I've enjoyed him so I'd have to say it is out of character." Obiang's injury has made it 11 injuries to West Ham United's first team players.
Republic of Ireland U21 defender Shaun Donellan has moved to Yeovil Town on a free transfer from West Bromwich Albion. Donellan was never able to get into the Baggies first team and spent the first half of the season on loan in League One.
Goalkeeper Stuart Moore has quickly found a new club following his release from Barrow. He has joined Swindon Town until the end of the season.
Monaco have won the battle to sign up and coming young starlet Pietro Pellegri from Genoa. The 16 year old had been subject to interest from a number of clubs around Europe, but chose AS Monaco. "I am very happy to join Monaco. I was very quickly convinced by the project, which allows youngsters like me to progress and flourish in the future," Pellegri told Monaco's website. "I will work hard to become an important player for the club in the future." Pellegri tied the record for Serie A's youngest ever player when he made his debut at the age of 15 years and 280 days in December 2016.
VAR To Blame For Hamstring Injuries Claims Pardew
After the FA Cup 4th Round clash between Liverpool and West Brom was overshadowed by the use of VAR, manager Alan Pardew, who saw his side have a goal ruled out and a penalty given against them due to the VAR system, has labelled it "bizarre". Pardew has, rightly, claimed that is affected the atmosphere at the ground and left everyone in the dark about what was going on. He has also said it was the reason his team was hit by a couple of hamstring injuries in the first half. "In the stadium, it was bizarre, because we got no evidence of what happened," Pardew told BBC Sport. "There's no screen for us. So it's not like tennis, when the ball's in or out. We're completely in the dark. Everybody's in the dark. Is it a goal? Isn't it a goal? I think if you were in the stadium today, and you experienced that system in the first half, you would have to doubt it." Pardew added: "The other issue, which I think is more concerning, is that I lost two players to hamstrings in that first half. We have to keep our players ticking over. It took so long. You're going from such high-tempo work to literally waiting. That's something we need to look at."
Pep Claims Even Man City Are Constrained By Finances
Despite the Premier League leaders spending half a billion pounds since Pep Guardiola took charge, the Spaniard has now claimed his team are constrained by finances. "Four competitions at a high level, you need 22 players," said Guardiola. "Today, 22 top players is so expensive. You cannot buy that. Even City." Guardiola has even hinted that it was budgetary reasons that stopped City completing the signing of Alexis Sanchez. "There are salaries we cannot pay. There are parts of the transfer we cannot pay," said Guardiola. "Maybe in the future it is going to happen, but we have not paid more than £100m for a player, or £90 or £80m. We cannot pay that right now. They told me. And the salaries and some things. We cannot pay. That is the truth." Sounds like not so much juicy oranges as sour grapes that Jose should have been talking about.
Klopp Expects To Lose Can On Free
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has ruled out the sale of German midfielder Emre Can during the transfer window, but still expects to lose the player in the summer on a free transfer. "He'll stay beyond the winter," Klopp told DAZN. "Emre is still a young lad but he has developed into a great player and is very important for us. Sometimes a player just wants to sit out his contract. That's not cool for the club, but there are moments in which you have to accept it. And as long as the player behaves like Emre does, then I have absolutely nothing to complain about. He gives everything he has and identifies with the club."
Messi Says Barca Better Without Neymar
Lionel Messi has told 'World Soccer' that Barcelona are a better side without the world's most expensive player Neymar Jr. "Without Neymar we are more balanced," Messi told World Soccer. "His departure meant a change in our way of playing, we lost a lot of attacking potential, but it helped in the defensive sense. We are currently very well armed in the midfield; this makes us stronger in defence."
Ronaldo Expanding Hotel Chain
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to expand his portfolio of CR7 hotels with three new franchises set to open. At the moment there are two CR7 hotels in Portugal, but the new ones will expand the hotel worldwide, with one in New York, one in Madrid and the other in Marrakech.
Klopp Hits Out At Liverpool's 'Bad' Defending
As Liverpool followed up their toothless and limp defeat to Swansea City in the Premier League with a defeat to another struggling side in West Brom in the FA Cup 4th Round, manager Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the defensive display. "We changed the system three or four times today," said Klopp. "We scored late and then how it is in a game like this, we tried, we pushed, but in the end they defend, big hearts and try everything. They deserved it, to be honest. I don't like to say it but it's the truth. West Brom deserved it so compliments to Alan and his side. In the decisive part of the game around the goals it was poor," Klopp said. "Bad defending. We go 1-0 up which is perfect in a game like this usually. But then it felt like it was a second later we conceded the goal. Long ball but we win the first one, then open ball and we lose that challenge when we could have shot the ball somewhere. Into the stand or whatever and then it's done. We lose the second challenge as well and then the disaster starts with the run of Rodriguez and a fantastic finish. Rodriguez, alone in the box, which makes no sense. The third one was unbelievable because it's really easy to defend," added Klopp. "You only have to push up then Dawson is one hundred percent offside. But he wasn't."
Heynckes Praises On-Loan Gnabry After He Scores Against Parent Club Bayern
Bayern Munich head coach Jupp Heynckes has praised Serge Gnabry after the on-loan winger scored against his parent club for Hoffenheim. The former Arsenal player is on a season long loan from Bayern to Hoffenheim and played yesterday as the two clubs met in the Bundesliga. Gnabry opened the scoring and then missed a penalty as Hoffenheim took a shock early 2-0 lead before Bayern hit back to win 5-2. "Last week against [Bayer] Leverkusen he had some great moments during the first half," Heynckes said. "He's a player with a lot of potential, but you have to keep in mind, that he's already suffered quite a few injuries in his young career and due to that has missed some time. He's very talented, but I think such young players have to adapt their lives to playing, working and training on such a high professional level and I think he can still improve in that aspect."
Adams Accepts Plymouth Blame For Collapse Of Grant Move
Plymouth Argyle had agreed a deal to sign Everton's young midfielder Conor Grant on loan for the rest of the season, only for the deal to collapse when it was realised that Grant was ineligible to play for the Pilgrims. The FIFA rule which prevents players from appearing for more than 2 clubs in a season has come into play as Grant spent the first half of the season on loan with Crewe ALexandra, but also played once for Everton in the Checkatrade Trophy back in August. Despite the Checkatrade Trophy not being for first team players, it counts as a first team fixture under FIFA rules. Adams said: "We found out on Friday. It was an oversight and the football management team have got to take full responsibility. Ourselves and Everton. They obviously knew he had played in the Checkatrade Trophy and had been out on loan. We didn't double check that he had played in the Checkatrade Trophy. So as a football department we take the full responsibility of that, but it got to a stage where we filled in the papers. We knew the rules, but we didn't know he had played that one game in the Checkatrade Trophy."
Umbro Announce Nike Club Man City Signing
Bizarrely sportswear manufacturer Umbro have announced a signing by Manchester City. The signing of Mix Diskerud, a USA international, was on loan to IFK Gothenburg from Man City group owned New York City FC but now, according to Umbro, Diskerud has signed a 4 and a half year deal with Man City after his NYCFC deal expired. This despite Man City being a Nike-sponsored club and that Diskerud will almost certainly never play for the Manchester club. Neither Man City nor New York City have confirmed the deal.

Growing up, one of my favorite pastimes was foraging the neighborhood kabari stalls. This, of course, was much before any fancy shmancy bookstore chains had dotted the landscape. And long long before one could buy a book, hardbound, paperback, old or new by a mere click of a mouse. Had they existed, they would have been no match for the raddiwallah of those days who offered everything at ridiculously low prices. Besides providing at no cost the challenge of unearthing anything worthwhile from several mounds of paper.
Often the afternoons spent furrowing through piles of GrihaShoba and Sarita would yield nothing. But once in a while, a Ruskin Bond or Rudyard Kipling would emerge quietly from between the colorful covers of a Pyaar ki Jwala and Agnipariksha ke Din. From books on the Second World War to the Art of Origami, they were all there for the taking if only you could find them. So you see the possibilities were endless.
One such find was Plain Tales From the Raj. I have not quite unearthed how this book, now perched on one of the bookselves at home, has remained with me over the years and across continents when hundreds of others that figure higher on my list are now gathering dust in India (though truth be told they are dusted with alarming regularity) or are inhabiting the black hole of the storage dungeon. But that can wait!!
I was reminded of this book quite by chance today when the subject of British India came up today in a converation with a friend. Frantic search followed as did a renewal of the resolution to arrange everything according to the alphabet (never mind that it disappeared as soon as the book was located).
Anyway here are some enjoyable snippets from the book:
'When I brought my two children home,' remembers Kathleen Griffiths, 'we got into the train and the younger one, aged five, piped up in front of a carriage full of people, "Mummy why hasn't the guard come along and asked your permission to start the train" and I replied "Darling we are not in Daddy's district now! They do not come along and ask me if they may start the train here. This is England and we must get used to English customs here."
'One of the most charming things I had ever seen,' declared Reginald Savory, 'was the ayah squatting down on her haunches on the verandah with a child and saying the nursery rhymes together. Most of them they had translated into a curious Anglo-Indian patois. There was "Humpti tumpti gir gaya phat". Then there was Mafti-mai; Muffety mother was eating her curds and whey on grass. There were also the Urdu songs and rhymes that Ayahs sang to put their charges to sleep and which many never forgot:
Roti makan chini
chota baba nini
Talli, talli, baja
ucha roti chat banaya
Tora mummy kido
Tora daddy kido
Jo aur baki hai
Burya ayah kido
When giving a dinner party you always consulted what was called the Blue Book. You had to do this most carefully as they all had definite precedence. I've seen memsahibs extremely annoyed when they thought they were being put in the wrong place. John Morris was once inadvertedly placed on the wrong side of his hostess and next day received a note from her apologizing for 'not realizing that I was senior to the other man and for having put me on the wrong side'.
There was no kitchen as such in a British officer's bungalow because the cooking was all done by natives in the cookhouse. The food had to be brought in from there and kept in a hot-case in the pantry which was in the bungalow. In Eastern India where rainfall was frequent, a covered gangway ran between the kitchen and bungalow. Elsewhere a hazardous gap remained. 'We were having duck for lunch,' recalls Rupert Mayne, 'but when it reached the table there was a mound of chips but no duck because a kite had swooped down and gone away with it.'

News & Interviews for Legends: Season 1
Critic Reviews for Legends: Season 1
All Critics (32) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (14)
Watching Sean Bean in his new TNT series, Legends, is like watching Michael Phelps in a kiddie pool.
Martin [Sean Bean] has some kinship to Jack Bauer, which isn't surprising, since 24 creator Howard Gordon is one of the producers. But he's got his own troubles, and at least up front they make for some engaging television.
The idea of multiple or false identities is promising for all sorts of reasons.
[Sean] Bean, who this time is assured of staying vertical, might have enough pop in his performance to break on through. His various identity crises -- on the job and off -- make him a nowhere man worth watching.
Legends with Sean Bean is a show, that, like Josh Holloway's CBS series Intelligence last season, should work but doesn't due to a lack of imagination and daring.
The series works best as sort of a modern-day Mission: Impossible.
Audience Reviews for Legends: Season 1
From TNT and the producers of 24 comes the espionage series Legends. Season 1 follows an undercover FBI operative named Martin Odum who works in counterterrorism, but his world is shaken when one of his contacts tells him that his life as Odum is actually a cover. Sean Bean is quite good as the lead, and is back by a strong supporting cast; which includes Ali Larter, Tina Majorino, and Amber Valletta. However, some of the writing is weak, as a few of the early episodes are poorly paced and switch between cases without much transition. Yet the action is well-done and gives the series a gritty, intense feel. A solid start, Season 1 of Legends delivers on the mystery and excitement that it promises.
Super Reviewer
Based on the terrific novel by Robert Littell, and brought to television by the same team that gave us 24 and Homeland, two summers ago, TNT treated us to the show, Legends. The show featured spectacular action, edge of your seat drama, and some of the best writing on television, but it was gone after just twenty episodes. Some viewers had a problem with the casting of Sean Bean, as the lead character, but the real issue was with a network that just couldn't leave well enough alone. Martin Odum (Sean Bean) is a man who is told that he doesn't exist. Odum the best CIA undercover agent in the game is approached on the street one day, told that there has been an accident, and ever since that day, he has bought his own cover or legend and now believes he is this man Martin Odum, but who is he really? It's a slippery slope for Odum, as he tries to continue doing his job, while at the same time trying to figure out who he is and why he's posing as a CIA agent. With this series, TNT wasn't only getting a show that was created by arguably one of America's best espionage writers, but they also got the team that single-handedly changed the face of television drama, with nine seasons of the innovative show, 24, and the continuing drama of Homeland. These people know what they're doing, but even after a successful first season, the network wanted more, and decided to drop the current storyline and replace almost the entire cast for season two. Fans were expecting to continue where they left off and instead, were trust into the middle of what amounted to a brand new show. A brand new show that was hardly advertised and was cancelled immediately after the end of season 2. Sean Bean stars and while he fits the character of Odum, as a forty-something British guy, fans of Bean know that he always plays the bad guy, most notable in the film, National Treasure. Seeing Bean as one of the good guys does take an adjustment, but a lot of time he's undercover as one of the bad guys, so it's really not as strange as his fans make it out to be. ...and what was the purpose for replacing the original cast? It's not as if they were all inexperienced newcomers. Ali Larter is beautiful and a network veteran of shows like Heroes, Steve Harris has seemingly been in everything, and Morris Chesnutt was a revelation on the re-launch of the show V a few years back. Legends had all the makings of a terrific show, with outstanding writers, directors, producers, and an experienced cast, but the network it was on wanted huge ratings from the show and when they didn't happen immediately, TNT threw in the towel. I enjoyed the undercover angles, the humor, the action, and of course the drama, of Legends, and Sean Bean in particular gives some of the best performances of his career, but it was all for not as the plug was pulled before things even got started. If you want to know the real truth behind Martin Odum, you're just going to have to suck it up and read the book.

Telephone counselling
Welcome to counselling. I am a fully trained and experienced couple and relationship counsellor and have worked for more than twenty years specialising in relationship work with couples and individuals who are experiencing difficulty. While there are many kinds of problem, each relationship is unique with its own character and needs. I will work with you to achieve your particular aims by talking through your concerns with you.
I believe that a first step is to give time to each person, and to work from there to find a useful focus that helps you to get to get to the heart of the matter.
Seeking help
Many people have pressing concerns which cause a relationship or marriage stress and even depression. Our feelings and expectations may change over time, perhaps gradually, when feeling dis-ease maybe vague and hard to describe, or even quite definitely and suddenly. Seeking help is not always an easy thing to do, but to talk to a trained counseller, who is there as an ally, to listen with an approach that is empathic and not judgmental, and is reassuring, is a course of action by which you've nothing to lose. The process puts you more in control. You will have the opportunity to make your life and relationship a priority, and use your sessions as an empowering and often comforting strategy to find wellbeing.
Counselling sessions
The sessions last for an hour, or sometimes half an hour by arrangement
The number of sessions varies according to clients' wishes. Sometimes there is no 'quick fix', so more than one or two may be useful, sometimes this extends to 6 months, or more when needed. If you like you can plan a series of four to six sessions.
It is important to feel you are making the right choices so do please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or you would like to talk before deciding to arrange a meeting.
I will have my mobile to hand before your session so that we can meet easily. You may want to come alone or with a partner, be married or single, live locally or come from further afield. We will establish who wishes to come, the cost and your contact details, and I ask that we have a brief telephone conversation beforehand to verify these. All ages, ethnicity and sexual orientation are welcome.
During your session
Central all ways of progressing is to talk with you about what has prompted you to seek help. Conflicts and lack of communication may be an initial focus, other concerns may emerge. We stay in safe boundaries and explore as you need. Towards the end we talk about how you feel about the counselling and strategies that may be useful before the next session.
All concerns are relevant, however small.
The sessions are very personal to you and each one is special. The process can be hard work, bring sadness, be of great interest, invariably needs commitment. Counselling may bring many emotions to light, is never dull, and can even be really good fun! I am committed to the process of each client towards wellbeing.
Your information and your sessions are confidential with the exception of any harm to yourselves or another person coming to light. This is normal practice for counsellors, is part of the ethical code of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) of which I am an accredited member and to which I am bound. My details are also on the BACP website. The organisation is a very well established and accredited body supporting the interests of the public and the standard of the counselling.
Reasons for seeking counselling
are very varied, and may include
and may include accompanying anxiety, loneliness, ongoing arguments, grief, depression.
The list may seem daunting but of course not all these will apply to you. The important thing is that every concern is of importance and can be aired, and to remember that hope may be round the corner even in the most difficult and distressing times, because they feel more bearable and you can make choices and achieve longed-for goals. Sharing with your spouse or partner helps to make you a team. Many family/ children issues are helped in the privacy of couple work.
I offer face to face counselling for all clients. Occasional telephone counselling and Skype are also options if suitable.
My training
I am a fully four year diploma (1997) trained and experienced couples and relationship counsellor (1997). I use different therapeutic approaches including systemic, psychodynamic, TA, cognitive behavioural, and person centred, as any or all are relevant. Throughout I have attended additional training days to extend and update my practice.
Details are:
4 year diploma, London Marriage Guidance (awarded 1997)
4 years as salaried counsellor with London Marriage Guidance
9 years BACP accredited Relate licensed practitioner in Cumbria
4 years independent BACP accredited practitioner in Cumbria, then Cheshire and Shropshire
The four-year diploma training at LMG included training sessions with the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations, and I subsequently worked at the Tavistock for two years before moving to the north of the country.
I have been an accredited counsellor with BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) since 2003; my accreditation is updated annually. The BACP website has full details.
Member organisations
Accredited register membership
The issues above are frequently helped in counselling - the list gives some idea of the range of distress that may be of concern. I have ticked the general headings that apply, there are more subheadings than listed above.
A further list to show this:
Breakdown of communication; marriage guidance; all issues that may arise at different stages of life in heterosexual, gay and lesbian marriage and relationships; intimacy and connection to sexual desire; deciding to commit; problems in first year of living together; difficulty in conceiving;having a baby; couples parenting young children, any child who seems to be a problem,; teenage children, children leaving home; difficulties in deciding not to have children; in not wanting children; in deciding to adopt; issues with grandparents; a 'problem' child; loneliness in a relationship; illness; feelings of needing to separate, difficulties in separating; mediation; post-separation tensions including access to children.
Handling one's own emotions, telling a partner about your emotions, what to do when being unsure what you or your partner feels, telling a partner you don't feel heard and/or understood.
Fears of being ignored, put down, disregarded, neglected; experiences of abuse and bullying however unintended in a relationship.
Illnesses, work problems, bereavement and its aftermath, problems with family members and in laws or other important connections are often helped by talking in confidence in a session.
Fees are as follows and may vary according to need:
£60 per hour's consultation with a couple one or both of whom are working depending on income.
£40 per hour's consultation with an individual person depending on income.
Since recently I have operated a sliding scale, and your fee can be discussed at any time.
Commitment to the sessions arranged and the time set is important, even though it may sometimes be a struggle to keep to it.
Cancellation charge The full fee is payable if less than 48 hours (excluding weekends) is given. No payment is required for missed sessions if due notice is given.
For telephone and Skype I ask for payment in advance of the session.
I have benefited from a thorough, broad-based training and accreditation through professional counselling organisations which updated their training continuously. A four- year specialist couple Diploma course included a wide variety of relationship work, emphasising the agency and value of the individual within the couple, the wider family and society.
My accreditation with BACP since 2003 is renewed annually and I am listed on their website bacp.org.uk
Clients may be adult couples of all ages, ethnic background and sexual orientation, married, cohabiting or living separately, and single adults with relationship issues at any stage.
Remember that people feel they are suffering a great deal even in a relationship that seems fine to the outside world. So don't be afraid to seek help; the most direct way is often to ring and leave a message if needed. I will answer the same day if possible.

From Sanctuary One at Double Oak Farm (Jacksonville, Oregon 97530)
Once upon a time, Rosie the pot-bellied pig princess lived on a care farm called Sanctuary One. Rosie had no idea she was destined to meet a handsome prince who would eventually become her best friend. His name was Stevie, but he wasn't a pig like Rosie. He was a goat!
Stevie had a disability that made it hard for him to walk. But Rosie didn't care about that. And Stevie didn't care if Rosie was grumpy sometimes and snored in her sleep. Stuff like that isn't important when you love someone.
People were amazed that a little pig and a big goat could become best friends. The news spread so far that some kind-hearted farmers at Apifera Farm heard about Stevie and Rosie and asked if they could adopt them. The Sanctuary said yes, but only if they promised to let Stevie and Rosie live together always and forever. And they lived happily ever after.
P.S. You can read the complete version of the Rosie & Stevie love story by clicking here.
