Kia Ora,
Ko Kahu Kuchel taku ingoa,
No Ngapuhi ahau.
My teaching experience has been focused in West Auckland. Mostly teaching at Junior level, at which the focus was on building a solid foundation of the basics of Reading, Writing and Maths, developing shared learning experiences, also developing critical thinking, logic and reasoning skills.
I also have experience teaching in an Alternative Education setting, where the students were high needs/risk. There was a strong focus on re-connecting these students with their Maoritanga, in the process of re-engaging such students with mainstream education or work training.
A safe classroom environment where children feel confident to share ideas, discuss, debate and resolve issues is imperative to good teaching and learning. A reciprocity of respect is something that needs to be established and maintained between teacher and students, and between the students themselves. The class is a Whanau community in which we care for each other, and eventually, behaviour becomes self-regulating as class expectations are built and maintained.
Matipo kids are some of the nicest, smartest, creative and most enthusiastic kids I have taught. I have also been surprised at the level of cultural awareness that the students at Matipo Primary School have. It is a pleasure to teach the kids of Matipo.
Personally, I love the energy and enthusiasm that Matipo kids bring to the classroom and in my own experience I have found that as long as the lesson is prepared to a suitable level to the students' abilities, and has a relevant purpose coupled with a positive teaching approach, then you have the ingredients for a great lesson. The feeling that you are having a direct input into the shaping and development of the young lives in our community is what inspires me and keeps me coming back.

The recommended dose of aspirin for cats when used for pain relief is 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, advises the Department of Environment and Primary Industries. For feline heart disease, the recommended dose is one 81 milligram tablet twice per week, states Portland Veterinary Specialists.
Although low doses of aspirin are sometimes prescribed to cats, it has a high risk of toxicity. Symptoms of aspirin poisoning include anorexia, bleeding in the stomach, vomiting, hypothermia and anemia, states the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.
Individuals should not give their cat aspirin unless directed to do so by their veterinarian, advises WebMD.


text: Just letting everyone know that Hyperion has a TPU case that fits it's 3800mah battery. I just got mine yesterday and the fit is great. I had to cut out the volume rocker and power button but the 3800 has now become my daily battery. The Hyperion combined with Protosome/Imo's lean kernel is giving me over 4 hours of screen time and I'm thrilled. Just an FYI for anyone that might have the battery as well. By the way, for those that do not have the Hyperion its a massive 3800mah battery with NFC for about 20 bucks. Peace out. EDIT: Sorry mods, just realized I posted this in the general and it should probably be in the accessories.

In directing his first feature, "Naked in New York," about how hard it is to be an aspiring young playwright, Dan Algrant manages to make film making look wonderfully easy. Mr. Algrant's agile, self-deprecating wit and his flair for ensemble comedy make "Naked in New York" as knowing and clever as it is charming. Although the film maker is a protege of Martin Scorsese (Mr. Scorsese served as executive producer), his dry, offbeat style recalls someone else. "Naked in New York" is descended, in the most funny and refreshing way, from "Annie Hall."
The resemblance goes well beyond the fact that this film's hero, Jake Briggs (Eric Stoltz), is a bespectacled, red-haired fellow who tends to worry a lot. Or that his girlfriend, Joanne White (Mary-Louise Parker), is a sly, winsome neurotic who never fully says what's on her mind. "Naked in New York" also ponders the problems of trying to combine love and work, the lure of ambition and the terrors posed by any prospect of permanent commitment. And none of it is made to look easy. When Jake is a little boy, he is seen coaching his mother (Jill Clayburgh) with the phrase, "I am the master of my emotions," which turns out to be a hearty joke for them both.
At 25, Jake approaches all his worries with appealing nonchalance, as when he begins the film by saying: "One of the few things that I know about life, other than that it ends, is that it's a good idea to be with someone during it. Preferably someone you love." Mr. Algrant, who wrote the film with John Warren, doesn't overburden such lightweight observations, but his film is more thoughtful than it initially sounds. Its characters remain ruefully perceptive about one another even when the pressures of love and work threaten to drive them far apart.
"Naked in New York" is loosely narrated by Jake, whose memories have a suitably antic quality; he can recall himself as a baby, on the lazy susan at a table in a Chinese restaurant, on the day his parents split up. Later, Jake recalls living in Cambridge, Mass., across the street from a nut factory ("driving the local squirrels mad from the constant roasting"), and falling in love with Joanne. At the same time, he makes his first stab at playwriting with a short piece about a homicidal lumberjack. A teacher (Roscoe Lee Browne) praises his craftsmanship, but adds: "On a personal level, I think you might want to go talk with someone in health services."
Jake is coaxed from Boston to New York by his friend Chris (Ralph Macchio), an aspiring actor, who thinks breaking into the theater depends on being where the action is. Meanwhile, Joanne is hired by Elliot Price (Timothy Dalton) to work at his art gallery. Overnight, she begins looking as if she loves her work a little too well.Continue reading the main story
One of the film's nervier sequences has Elliot flying Jake and Joanne to Martha's Vineyard on his private plane ("Why is Patsy Cline playing on the tape? Is that a joke?" asks a terrified Jake) and including them in a celebrity-packed literary party. "Before they were movies, I read them," Jake manages to say -- flatteringly, he hopes -- to a deadpan William Styron. Mr. Algrant is savvy enough to satirize the idea of celebrity cameos while making sure that his film features them everywhere. David Johansen provides the voice of a helpful orangutan, Eric Bogosian and Quentin Crisp turn up at the same party, and Whoopi Goldberg is part of a talking frieze on the front of a New York theater.
"Naked in New York" deftly divides its attention between Joanne's new life in the art world and Jake's New York theater experiences. (The details are often exactly right; Joanne's favorite photographer isn't Cartier-Bresson, it's Mary Ellen Mark.) In Manhattan, Mr. Algrant has found a particularly fertile setting for his film's brand of urbane humor. His Manhattan fixtures include Tony Curtis, letter-perfect in the role of a lovably crass off-Broadway producer, and Kathleen Turner as a leonine soap opera star who yearns alarmingly for more stage experience. "She makes the boat float, don't you understand that?" asks Mr. Curtis, as he insists on miscasting her in Jake's precious play.
Mr. Algrant switches gears with impressive ease when he moves from satire to more serious concerns. The film includes a surprising, beautifully acted scene involving a sexual overture made in the midst of a New York party. This gentle encounter is troubling for both parties, and Mr. Algrant captures it with empathy and intelligence: qualities that keep even the zanier moments in "Naked in New York" from feeling like fluff.
"Naked in New York" is made even more entertaining by Angelo Badalamenti's inspired score, and by a production design that keeps the film as visually interesting as it is verbally bright. The casting is full of welcome surprises, particularly Mr. Macchio's grown-up performance in a quiet but important role. Mr. Algrant's showier directorial tricks -- swiveling camerawork, occasional fantasy sequences -- sometimes try too hard, but his talent is never in doubt.
Even before spring was in the air, this was shaping up as an exceptionally rosy season for ensemble-minded romantic comedy. Along with "Reality Bites" and the especially enchanting "Four Weddings and a Funeral," "Naked in New York" qualifies as one more warm, seductive delight.
"Naked in New York" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It includes sexual situations, profanity and nudity. Naked in New York Directed by Dan Algrant; written by Mr. Algrant and John Warren; director of photography, Joey Forsyte; edited by Bill Pankow; music by Angelo Badalamenti; production designer, Kalina Ivanov; produced by Frederick Zollo; released by Fine Line Features.

Brainstorm Quotes
While we were brainstorming ways we could provide a service to those outside of the law school we thought this might be something pre-law students would have an interest in and would benefit from. We all felt as though it was something each of us would have appreciated throughout the law school application and decision-making process. - Siri Buller
When we get together and start brainstorming, throwing out ideas about something one or another of us has heard about that we could all be involved in, it's very exciting. I think as artists we have a common bond, we understand each other and can talk openly about our work and that's really something I enjoy. - Michael Gepfer

With Norin Norudi safely back at The Hairy Bothan, Oba sends the PCs out while he tends to some business. They return some hours later after being commed that his business with Norin has concluded.
After being ushered into his office by the Gand security guard, the party take their seats and listen to what Oba has to say. He starts by giving each PC their share of the bounty on Norin's head. They notice he is no longer in the vicinity, but ask no questions. Jowy-Kam, credits in hand, exits the office in a hurry to pay off his own debts.
Oba continues, "Gentlemen, thank you for bringing me the kid. And you only crashed one vehicle this time." He tells Otzz Kortu and IG-S4X that Norin told him he was being sought after to supply the whereabouts of a spice shipment; A shipment that if recovered, could set a man for life. Oba knows if he can obtain such a shipment he will have a lot more power in the Outer Rim.
He tells the PCs simply, if it's out there, he wants that shipment.
Norin knows there is a man on planet that has the coordinates, but last he knew he was taken into custody by the Empire. Oba lets on that it is in their best interests to retrieve those coordinates. Otzz and S4X accept this small mission on one condition; that Oba must give the group a large portion of the profit from the shipment.Oba agrees to 30% and sends them on their way.
As the heroes are making their way away from The Hairy Bothan ObaOba comms them to let them know another bounty hunter will be meeting with them on his order. He felt they could use the extra firepower if they were to encounter more Imperials. As if from nowhere, a sure-footed adult Rodian makes his way up to Otzz from across the lane. This Rodian, one head taller than Otzz, identifies himself as Rage. He makes it clear he's only there for the credits and a chance to get his hands on more destructive weaponry.
WithRage in tow, the group realizes they have no clue where to find this one man in an entire city. They head to the closest information terminal and try to glean anything useful from the interface. Access to Imperial information is locked on public terminals, so S4X gets roped into hacking the terminal. It successfully opens the terminal and locates an Imperial Detention Center at the southeast quadrant of Phelar. This is all of the information that the terminal holds. The heroes shrug, check their weapons, adjust their utility belts, and head towards the Detention Center.
Very late into the night, around 3 a.m. local time, they come upon the Imperial Detention Center. Rage determines his easiest point of entry is a door between the main building and one of the sub buildings. He gets IG-S4X, who narrowly misses being seen by one of the Security Droids circling the perimeter, and has it hack the door to gain entry to the compound. Once inside, they survey their surroundings and find the building empty except for one Imperial officer and a Stormtrooper reading over messages on a terminal.
Rage, seeing an easy opportunity, easily dispatches of the officer and turns to attack the Stormtrooper. Meanwhile Otzz rushes into the room to attack the trooper before he can run for help. The trooper, being ever vigilant, bends and uses Otzz's momentum to fling him over his shoulder and onto the terminal. The terminal sparks and shuts every door into the building. Rage and Otzz team up to take down the trooper asS4X heads to another terminal for information on the man they were sent to find. They quickly discover all detainees are to be placed onto Prisoner Transport 1138 and taken out of Phelar to a long term Imperial Prison. With the sun coming up they rush out of the Detention Center and back into the safety of the city.

Fasten your seatbelts, folks. It's going to be a long post. You can skip to the bottom for the recipe if you want, I won't be offended. But if you do, before you do, here are the Cliff's Notes: ramblings on Christmas fun, Happy New Year(!), shame, perfectionism, joy, life lessons, resolutions or goals, and how I came to make these sweet potato, green chili, cheese tamales with tomatillo salsa. Okay–you are excused. See ya at the bottom for the recipe!
Alright, diehards, here it goes.
I am getting back to reality after a week of relaxing, both at home in Grand Rapids and in the Upper Peninsula, where I grew up. We spent the last week reading (Joseph Heywood's Wood Cops series is awesome!), snowshoeing (new snowshoes for Christmas!), walking around historic downtown Marquette (we had a night at the historic Landmark Inn–what a treat!), and hiking to see some beautiful ice caves about twenty minutes from where I grew up. I haven't been to the ice caves as an adult and I feel truly blessed that I have someone who I can enjoy doing things with and that he digs checking out giant frozen icicles and other wonders of nature with his Yooper gal. I'm still bewildered that someone could enjoy the same things I enjoy as much as I do myself.

I want to help women learn more about themselves, feel more like themselves, and be more like themselves.
I think it has to do with a shift in my thinking because I never stuck with a workout program when I was just in it for the "hot body. "
- Now that I have a goal it is so much easier to do the things I know will help me reach that goal.
- Because I use the Couch to 5K podcasts I don't have to think about how long I've been running. I can just zone out and I naturally keep pace with the music. It's really really nice to let my brain just wonder where it will.
- And then there's the sweat issue. Sweating is gross so I usually try to avoid it, but now I look at it as a chance to clear my body of toxins. Heck, I might even get a better complexion out of it!
I want to run on your behalf.
Yeah, you. The you who is weak from cancer treatment. You over there who finds herself bullied because of office politics even though you are a grown up. You, sweetie, the one who found the strength to get out of an abusive relationship and continues to get out of bed each day. And you, yes you, that lady who exercises four hours and eats only 800 calories a day because you'd rather die slowly than put on an ounce. I want to do this thing for you.
On April 22, I'm going to put my training to the test at the Mud Crusade where I'll complete a three-mile obstacle course. In the mud.It should be fun and terrifying. Like Disney World.
|from the Mud Crusade page on Facebook
I plan to make and wear a special garter during this
I want you to help me come up with a word or phrase that describes each of our journeys.
It needs to be something that describes the woman you are or hope to be such as "ferocious" or "saucy," even "demure." You could offer a change you want to see "equality" or "feminine = strong."
My hope is to have people ask about the garter so I can tell them that I wear it because I represent you (mother of two premature babies who diligently fund raises so other moms don't have to go through all you did).
Leave your suggestion in the comments. Make sure you also leave a way for me to get in touch with you.In a week, I'll have you vote on the top three. Then, we'll vote again to pick a winner. Once we know the winning phrase I'll have the ever talented and vivacious Alison embroider it onto some fantastic fabric and I'll make two garters. One for me and one to give away.
So let's hear what you've got!

As next week's Fed meeting approaches, more thoughts are being given to the impact of the relentless rise of the US currency on the broader economy. This in part explains why the dollar has become a little more reticent to push ahead, given that there are signs that it is starting to impact exports and with it, the outlook for the economy and inflation. But it's not just about the dollar, given the appetite for lower currencies being seen elsewhere in the developed world, helped by cuts in interest rates and the move to quantitative easing in the Eurozone. Officially, dollar policy sits with the US Treasury and the Fed always steers will clear of giving any opinion on the dollar and certainly its value to other currencies. This contrasts with the Eurozone, where the ECB takes a more active approach. Worth bearing this in mind as we head into next week's Fed meeting.
Main focus today will be jobs data in calendar, where a nudge higher in the unemployment rate is seen (up to 6.7%). There is also Michigan confidence data in the US at 14:00. For USDCAD, the 1.2799 level provides the initial level of resistance to the upside, marking the high seen late Jan and earlier this week, with the currency having been one of the better performance in recent weeks, thanks to the central bank keeping rates on hold and oil prices staging a modest recovery.

Sylvia Pankhurst (1882–1960) was a daughter of Richard and Emmeline Pankhurst. Although often considered only as part of the 'Pankhurst family', Sylvia made a distinguished contribution not only to Votes for Women, but also to Internationalism, Anti-fascism and Anti-colonialism. Above all, she should be considered as one of the major figures of British Socialism. Sylvia was born in Old Trafford and the family briefly located to London. When they returned to Manchester in 1893 her parents joined the Independent Labour Party and Sylvia became an activist, being particularly influenced by her father.
She was a talented artist who met the full force of discrimination against women when she studied at the Royal College of Art. However, the question of women's suffrage overtook her personal ambition and in 1903, along with other women and members of the Pankhurst family, she formed the Women's Social & Political Union (WSPU). By 1905 the WSPU, having become frustrated at a lack of progress, decided upon a strategy of more direct action. Sylvia started working full time for the WSPU from 1906 and suffered periods of imprisonment. However, she did come to question the strategy of the organisation, the lack of democracy and the lack of common cause with working class women. Indeed the WSPU began to campaign for a Conservative Government in order to bring about a limited female franchise. Nevertheless, Sylvia continued to work for the WSPU and was further imprisoned and force-fed under the Cat & Mouse Act.
By 1913 Sylvia had broken completely with the WSPU and, in conjunction with a number of socialist figures, set up the East London Federation of Suffragettes (ELFS). This move was brought about by her understanding of the lives of those in the East End, her growing friendship with Keir Hardie, her experience of listening to working class activists on her two tours to the United States in 1911 and 1912, and her analysis of the Dublin Lock Out of 1913. Sylvia set up and edited The Women's Dreadnought and worked with women in the East End of London on a variety of social and political campaigns.
When war broke out in 1914, Sylvia and other women, in the light of the WSPU's pro-government and pro-war stance, set up the Women's Peace Army. Sylvia became both a peace activist and a campaigner (and provider) of services for working class communities. In her work The Home Front she showed that the policy of starvation was deliberately used to boost Army recruitment. She also exposed the activities of many of those profiteering from both war and the shortage of food.
The ELFS became the Workers Suffrage Federation and The Women's Dreadnought the Worker's Dreadnought in recognition of the extent to which the liberation of women was to be considered part of the wider class struggle. She welcomed the Russian Revolution in 1917 and travelled there in order to assess the extent to which the Revolution liberated women. At the same time, she travelled widely throughout Western Europe to build links with other progressive forces. Her involvement in the creation of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) showed the extent to which Sylvia was prepared to argue for a particular approach. She had a robust dialogue with Lenin and although she joined the CPGB there were disagreements about the position of the Dreadnought. After serving yet another prison sentence Sylvia increasingly came to oppose the centralised nature of the CPGB and highlighted the position of the Workers Opposition in the Soviet Union. In 1921 she refused to cede control of the Dreadnought and was expelled from the CPGB.
As a result of her experience Sylvia developed a much more internationalist perspective than many of her peers. She understood from the beginning that fascism in Italy was largely financed by banks and large business in order to operate in their interest. This was at a time when not only the British ruling class but many on the Left saw Mussolini as a positive development. She began to apply her socialism to a broader analysis of fascism and to develop a critique of British Imperialism. She visited India in 1926 and wrote a book – India and the Earthly Paradise – which portrayed the brutality of the British occupation.
Her anti-racist, anti-fascist and anti-colonialist stand left Sylvia with few political allies but by 1930 the realities of fascism were beginning to be appreciated and she was involved in the formation of the Women's Committee Against War & Fascism, the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom and the International Peace Crusade.
At home she campaigned for better maternity services and in 1930 wrote Save the Mothers which exposed the high rates of infant mortality.
She became involved with the cause of Ethiopia in response to the actions of fascist Italy in beginning to invade that country from 1934. In 1936 she started the New Times and Ethiopia News and provided an outlet for anti-colonialist and African writers as well as exposing Italian massacres in Ethiopia. She also campaigned against aerial bombing (which had been pioneered by the British in Iraq) on the grounds that it represented the deliberate targeting of innocent people. Her experience of Ethiopia, and British 'neutrality', also enabled her to campaign against the fascists in Spain. In this phase of her life she worked closely with her Italian companion, Silvio Corlo.
In 1956, encouraged by Emperor Haile Selassie, Sylvia and her son Richard went to live in Ethiopia. During the Second World War Sylvia had campaigned to expose war crimes in Ethiopia and when she visited in 1944 she observed that although 'liberated' by the British the colonial occupation had continued. Sylvia campaigned for liberation throughout Africa, prompting a Foreign Office official to comment in 1947 that 'we agree with you in your evident wish that this horrible old harridan should be choked to death with her own pamphlets'.
Sylvia died in 1960 and was buried in the grounds of Holy Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa.
The Library has a range of material on and by Sylvia Pankhurst for people to come in and read. This includes a large number of biographies by Connelly (shelfmark N15), Harrison (X78) and Harrison & Homewood (FR01), Ayling (Z37), Davis (Q61) and many other authors. There are two works by her son Richard Pankhurst, (B24) and, with Bullock (I50). There are works by Sylvia Pankhurst covering Ethiopia (both Africa – Box 1) and the Suffragette Movement (A13), (A15) and (H44). Her works Soviet Russia as I Saw It (A47) and The Home Front (A61) are both available. The Library has works which look at the East London Suffragettes by Joshua & Taylor (C52b) and in box 'AG – Suffragette Movement'. The Library also has a good introductory work on the Pankhurst Family by Pugh (I60).
Finally, copies of the Worker's Dreadnought are available in either paper copy or microfiche (S51).

About The Program
Boston College's Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program graduated its first class of Scholars in 1995 and is the premier merit scholarship program of its kind. The students form a community of scholars whose dedication to the pursuit of knowledge reflects the words of William Butler Yeats, who wrote, "Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire." In the process of discovering that which ignites their intellectual passion, this community seeks to fulfill the highest ideals of the Jesuit educational tradition. That 450-year tradition casts the university not merely as a professional training ground, but as a starting point to begin the most fundamental and exciting human quest: the quest for individual meaning in relationship to the universe and the search for a path that expresses that meaning each day - in work, in avocation, in leadership practiced not for self-aggrandizement, but for the common good.
The Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program provides this select group of students from across the University with a strong framework for their exploration, starting with a sequence of three summer programs focusing on service, internationalism and profession. These give the Scholars the opportunity to integrate course work with personal experience, and weave the university experience into a seamless whole.

PC Cast, Goddess of Spring: a reimagining of the Persephone myth, in which Demeter decides to teach her daughter responsibility by having her switch places with an Italian-American bakery owner, and sending the latter to look after Hades. Hades, of course, is brooding but hot, and there are happy endings all around—at least, as far as I could tell from a quick skim forwards. It is, to say the least, a bold reinterpretation of the myth. The thing that annoyed me most, however, was the name of the protagonist's bakery: Pani del Goddess. I don't even speak Italian, and I can tell that none of those three words are correct; ten seconds' research confirmed that.
Katie MacAlister, Love in the Time of Dragons: I picked this one up because the idea of urban fantasy which actually had dragons in intrigued me, and because I'm a sucker for lost-memory plots. Unfortunately, the "dragons" turned out to be functionally equivalent to werewolves, and I hate werewolf books even more than I hate badly-done fairies. Humans who can shapechange into monsters; hierarchical clan structures (led by a "wyvern", which apparently means "drama queen" rather than "smaller, less powerful & intelligent dragon"); unreasonable possessiveness; big men dick-slapping each other at the slightest opportunity; and pissing on lamp-posts. Clearly, these are just suspiciously lizardy werewolves, and being tricked into reading a book about werewolves really annoys me.
Until I saw this quotation, I was mentally encouraging the heroine to dump the lot of them and find someone worth it, but frankly, after this they're welcome to her, on the basis that then none of them will make anyone else miserable.
My heart warmed. I couldn't help it. Oh, he was being arrogant and pushy and domineering, but none of that really mattered, not when I could see the insecurity and fear that he tried so hard to keep from me.

THE broken promises of Coalition cabinet members are exposed today in a Daily Mirror investigation into their election pledges on the NHS.
A string of senior Tories and Lib Dems vowed to protect the health service before the poll – then set about its destruction once they formed a patched-up government.
A mountain of leaflets portraying the Tories as health service saviours were stuffed through letterboxes in the run-up to last year's General Election.
The reality is very different.
More than 50,000 health jobs are being axed, hospitals are closing wards, nurses are working flat-out and patients are being treated in corridors. Up to £20billion is being slashed from budgets over the next three years.
Waiting lists, reduced under Labour, are creep-ing up, A&E waiting times have been scrapped and ambulance response times relaxed – and the May 2010 leaflets remain as concrete proof of the Tories' double-speak.
Prime Minister David Cameron started the bandwagon with a leaflet in his Witney constituency in rural Oxfordshire which stated that the NHS "is our number one priority" and trumpeted that his policies would "help the poorest in society".
Since then, his health reform proposals have been condemned by the British Medical Association, health economists and many GPs, who fear the scheme will usher in private medical dominance of the NHS.
Cameron rushed into print again to counter criticism of his manifesto pledges for disadvantaged families under the Sure Start system.
But 2011 started with the axing of day centres for 60,000 families.
He then used a downmarket rag to promise thousands of new midwives to keep pace with a population boom.
Yet last weekend, 21-year-old Frances Randall gave birth on a chair in a hospital waiting room in Romford, Essex, and Royal College of Midwives general secretary Professor Cathy Warwick insisted there was a "profound" shortage of midwives.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg was equally busy with glib promises. A leaflet in his Sheffield Hallam constituency thundered: "When the Tories were last in power they allowed local schools to decay, failed to protect the NHS and ran down public services."
Another pamphlet pictured him next to an elderly patient under the headline: "Who will protect the NHS?"
Sheffield mum Helen Chaudhuri may have an answer. She attacked him for destroying services so her child had to wait seven months for help. Waiting times for child mental health services had risen to six months under the Tory-led Government she said.
More hypocrisy was served up in Kingston upon Thames, a Surrey town with two marginal seats where the hospital's future became a political battleground.
Pictured leaving the hospital with his wife and third child, Clegg stated: "Labour is cutting frontline services. Many Conservatives want to sell off the NHS. Only the Liberal Democrats will protect the vital services we rely on." He was strangely quiet when the hospital announced 486 jobs were being cut.
Kingston's Lib Dem MP Ed Davey, who vowed to protect the A&E unit, said: "We will fight this at every stage and have pledged to have no frontline health cuts."
As the workforce faces huge job losses, he now states: "The challenge is to find savings from better use of technology, sharing back office functions, more services carried out in the community, hospitals sharing services like pathology and reducing the average length of patient stay in hospital."
On his way to winning the Richmond Park seat, Tory billionaire Zac Goldsmith pledged to quit if cuts hit Kingston, but last week refused to go claiming the cuts would not undermine the hospital.
Geoff Martin, of NHS pressure group Health Emergency said: "They shoved a forest of leaflets through our doors promising to protect the NHS then they bring in the most damaging reorganisation in its history. Thanks to the Mirror we can now see the massive gulf between what they promised and what they're doing."
Energy Secretary Chris Huhne, fellow Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable and Tory Communities Secretary Eric Pickles all wooed voters by promising to protect the NHS. As did Justice Minister Ken Clarke, Defence Secretary Liam Fox, Transport Minister Philip Hammond and International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell.
Yet one of their first initiatives was the £20billion efficiency drive. The Royal College of Nursing, which predicted 27,000 job losses, confirmed the cuts are hitting frontline services.
Labour MP John Cryer said: "Cameron promised us he'd cut the deficit, not the NHS. But 50,000 job losses have been announced – including doctors, nurses and specialist staff. That's a cut, whichever way you look at it. It is a massive con on the British people."

Daniel Gilbert
Stumbling on happiness
There are plenty of books that try to tell you how to be happy, but Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert isn't one of them. Rather it is an explanation of why we often fail miserably in this quest. In particular it explains why we are so bad at predicting the future. Although we're pretty good at predicting the immediate outcome of what we do, predictions about something that is more than a day or so ahead are a different matter entirely. We're especially bad at predicting how we will feel after some event - a significant failing as we try to organise our lives to consist of what we think will make us happy.
Gilbert is a professor of psychology at Harvard, and draws upon plenty of psychological experiments to demonstrate how our minds work, and so to make his case. However, the book never reads like an experimental report. Rather it is full of witty comments, examples of illusions and even the odd card trick. I'm not sure whether this book will help you to find long term happiness - it may well provide a few pointers. But in the short term - well Gilbert is clearly a skilled writer and has produced a book that is certainly fun to read.

About The Author
I am a mum of two, previously working as a School Business Manager in a special needs school for children with autism and associated learning difficulties. Whilst I loved my job and all its challenges, I had always felt that something was missing - until I started writing. As such, when my role became redundant in the summer of 2018, I seized the opportunity to follow my dream of trying to make it as a full-time writer. Whether I succeed or not is a journey you can follow via my website, Facebook author page, Twitter and Instagram over the next 12 months. Finger's crossed it will prove to be a positive journey!
I moved to Devon in 1998, and my love of the Devon and Cornwall coast became an inspirational backdrop to my writing. My first home here was a rather small, very leaky flat with a balcony that faced out to sea. I would either sit on the balcony and write, or grab my notebook and head for the coffee shop on the seafront, filling my weekends with scribblings and observations.
I actually started writing my first book, Thomas Grey & The Lost City back in 2000, but it sat on my shelf for 14 years before I decided to dust it off and take a second look. The book was based just west of St Ives in Cornwall, in a beautiful spot called Zennor, although the adventure does cross the globe to Tibet as it follows my love of travel and fascinating destinations. I finally released this in June 2015, with the help of talented local artist,
Chris Bradley
Through re-writing and editing The Lost City, more ideas began to flow, and I soon had my second book, Thomas Grey & The Scarab Enchantress waiting in the wings. As you would expect from the title, this adventure spanned from Cornwall to Egypt and was inspired by my previous visit to this amazing country and the ancient treasures it holds. I released the darker tale of The Scarab Enchantress in November 2016, and I am aiming that the third, Cornish-based book, Thomas Grey & The Smuggler's Cave will follow in 2019. I say 'aiming', as a small writing challenge I undertook in September 2017 turned into my first entry (and WIN I might add!) into NaNoWriMo. A simple idea for a Dragon-led fantasy short story turned into a full-blown novel of over 50,000 words within the space of 30 days - and Dragon Rise was born!
Dragon Rise is my first outing into a slightly older market (teen/YA), and was initially planned as a standalone novel. However, my head rapidly filled with more ideas as I reached the end of Dragon Rise, and now it is lending itself to be one of twelve!!!
So, it looks as though 2018 is going to be a busy one as I as edit and submit Dragon Rise, write the sequel, AND write the third Thomas Grey book!! Will keep you posted ...

This is my layout for this months challenge at My Creative Sketches.
And this is the sketch
I love this paper line from Kaisercraft called Kaleidoscope the colors are amazing!
I used one of the stickers as my title which says it all!
I tired to do something funky with the stars. I cut them out with my silhourtte and then added teal sparkles to make them stand out more. This was a pain in the butt I had to use spray adhesive to keep them from falling off lol! Well that's it for today so much to do and so little time. Have a great weekend! :)


text: Durban - Kyle Abbott struck a late double-blow to leave the Chevrolet Warriors struggling on 30 for three at stumps on the third day of their SuperSport Series match against the Sunfoil Dolphins at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead in Durban on Saturday. Fast bowler Abbott ended the day with figures of 2-6 off four overs while left-arm seamer Mthokozisi Shezi had 1-11 as the visitors ended the day still needing a daunting 356 runs to win the match with only seven wickets in hand. Abbott struck with the fourth ball of the Warriors' second innings when he trapped Kelly Smuts (0) leg-before before he bowled Kelly's older brother Jon-Jon (5) with a delivery that kept a touch low. Shezi then removed Ashwell Prince (10) when the left-handed batsman edged a good length delivery to Vaughn van Jaarsveld at first slip. The Dolphins had declared their second innings closed on 275 for eight thanks to a season's best innings of 71 not out from the left-handed David Miller. The declaration left 12 overs in the day for the Warriors batsmen to deal with. Miller has battled for form this season but he brought up his first half-century of the campaign off 77 balls while his innings in its entirety used up 97 deliveries as he struck nine fours and a six. The 22-year-old Miller helped rebuild the Dolphins' innings after they had slipped to 161 for six with left-arm quick Wayne Parnell taking three of the wickets to fall. The Dolphins began after lunch on 79 for one thanks to Imraan Khan who had struck a quickfire 43 off 48 balls but they added just three runs to their total before Divan van Wyk (26) spooned a delivery from off-spinner Simon Harmer to Basheer Walters in the covers. Daryn Smit (26) and Vaughn van Jaarsveld then added 42 runs for the third wicket but Smit's innings was ended when he was trapped leg-before by Parnell. The right-handed Cody Chetty (4) did not last long before he was out lbw to the part-time spin of Jon-Jon Smuts while Van Jaarsveld, who had looked a cut above the other batsmen in scoring 36 off 46 balls, chased a wide Parnell delivery to send an edge through to keeper Arno Jacobs who took a fine catch diving to his left. Parnell grabbed his third wicket when he trapped Kyle Nipper (2) leg-before as the Dolphins lost four wickets for 37 runs. But Miller showed some fighting spirit to stop the slide and he shared to two decent partnerships of 51 for the seventh wicket with Kyle Abbott (22) and 47 for the eighth wicket with Robbie Frylinck (27). Parnell ended with figures of 3-43 while Harmer finished with 3-107. However, the Warriors' bowling attack was limited somewhat by the side strain suffered by paceman Andrew Birch which ruled him out of bowling in the Dolphins' second innings. Leg-spinner Imran Tahir had earlier finished with 5-67 off 32 overs as the Warriors were bowled out for 211 in their first innings, 40 minutes after the start of play. Tahir struck with the fourth ball of the morning when he bowled Andrew Birch (17) with a googly before Harmer and Rusty Theron (14) took the score to 201. Harmer brought up his first SuperSport Series fifty off 157 deliveries, but after scoring one more run off his next six balls, he was trapped leg-before by Tahir. Theron was the last man out when he thumped a delivery from left-arm spinner Nipper to Miller with the fielder taking a good catch low to his left to give Nipper his first SuperSport Series wicket. Walters was not out on nought.

I think there's a mistake on this article. The "Taxi upgrade" cheat only ever gives me fully upgraded stamina, whilst taxis are unaffected. {{SUBST:Signatures/The1AndOnlyMike}} 03:53, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
I have put in the $250k, health, and armor code into my ps2 and hasn't worked. Does any one know why?
- I'm not sure, but try with R1, R2, L1, R2, X, and so on. Just try to add R2 between L1 and X.--Loadingue 19:26, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
Perform Drive-By With Other Weapons (In Lieu of Submachine Guns)
I have recently discovered a "cheat" for GTA San Andreas Xbox version, though it is not specifically outlined in the game itself. If you enable the cheat for full weapon aim while driving, you will note that only submachine guns can be used. There is, however, a way to use pistols, shotguns, the AK-47, or the M4 (this does not work for rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, or the flamethrower.). I do not know if this works for other versions of the game.
1) Preform the "Full Weapon Aim While Driving" cheat.
2) Preform one of the weapon's package cheat (1, 2, or 3...it's entirely your choice).
3) Use up all ammunition for the submachine gun in that particular "package", so that when you change from shotgun to rifle, the submachine gun slot is empty.
4) Select the weapon you want to use, and get in a vehicle. Instead of automatically changing to a submachine gun, the weapon you selected should stay the same, now that the submachine gun slot is empty.
>>NOTE: At this point, you may wish to preform the "unlimited ammunition" cheat, so that you can shoot as much as you want.
5) While in the vehicle, preform a weapons package cheat again. Instead of automatically changing to a submachine gun, the weapon you selected should stay, even though you have spawned another submachine gun.
6) Fire the weapon, and use it all you want.
NOTE: Exiting the vehicle will cause the "automatic switch" to submachine gun to occur, so if you reenter a vehicle, you will have to preform the process again.
NOTE: Oddly, while in the vehicle, the rate of fire for the Silenced 9mm and Desert Eagle will be much greater than they are designed.
NOTE: The weapon may disappear from CJ's hand. It will still function, though.
Completing the list
Someone please add the "faster gameplay" cheat code. I only know it for PC, it's "speeditup". It can be used multiple times to further increase gameplay speed, just like the "slowitdown" cheat can be used multiple times to further slow down gameplay.
Also, there are other certain cheats that are not on the list, like the perfect weather cheat ( "icikpyh" for PC) and the car cheats.
Someone should also mention that using any cheat code will decrease the player's criminal rating by 25.
Steve Greg (talk) 01:06, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
I added the Slow Gameplay one.
VaultBoy Tom (Talk to me this way) 01:23, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for that one. Anyway, someone should clear up the spelling in here. It's hard to differentiate the cheat code from it's description in some places, while some of the cheats are mentioned two or three times with different effects (see the gang cheats, first 4 or so). I will add some more about cheat effects on mission after I do some in-game testing.

Cheat problem
On the PS3 version of GTA: SA, I can't put any cheats in. Anyone know why this happens on my copy?

Unusual reading matter in my new lodgings in Mexico City…
Philosophy books were almost spilling out of the bookshelves. The relevant sections of Foyles and other well-appointed stores in far-off London hold more titles: but not a vast amount more than here, in this back bedroom tucked away a small street hard by the multi-laned arterial road called Insurgentes Sur.
Putting down my bags, I looked at the spines of the books: Nietzche, Hegel, Kiergekaard. I was momentarily rather excited by the idea that I was surrounded exclusively by existentialists. How unforgettably weird! But disappointingly, I spotted Descartes.
Even so, sharing a room with so many existentialists matched my overriding feeling at that early point in my Mexico stay: unease. The sense that something could easily go wrong, or was soon to go wrong. Out of place in a strange land, and strange not only in the sense of foreign or unfamiliar.
The world felt disorientating for me, abroad and with Spanish language skills too underdeveloped to grasp what was routinely being said around me.
Six weeks in, I felt 'thrown into' (to use an existentialist concept) this world of job seeking in a foreign city. Somehow, I had no say in the matter.
Naturally, I had chosen to book my flight and pack my things. But was I really in control of my decision making? I suspected that fate was at least as responsible as my free will, but pondering it all only confused me more. I needed some help from those philosophers.

We have a General Electric (GE) over-the-stove microwave. There are two incandescent bulbs in there and it seems like we replace them fairly often. What LEDs would people here recommend to replace the incandescent bulbs?
We have a General Electric (GE) over-the-stove microwave. There are two incandescent bulbs in there and it seems like we replace them fairly often. What LEDs would people here recommend to replace the incandescent bulbs?
I'm guessing the original is a T7 15W bulb. That's what my GE took. If it has a high and low like mine, make sure the LED replacement works with that.
The labeling is difficult to read, even with a magnifying glass, but it states the obvious of 125V and 40W. It looks to be a T8 shape with an E17 base.
I didn't have much luck at my local Menard's and Home Depot. I did check the label on the appliance. I have a GE JVM3160DF2CC. So, I checked the online owners manual. It states the following:
"Cooktop Lights/Nite Lights
Replace with 120 volt, 40 watt (max) incandescent
bulbs. Order WB25X10030 from your GE supplier."
So, when I Google "WB25X10030 LED replacement, I get the following:
I might just give those a try! Does anybody know for sure if it will work with high and low settings?

I've tried to swap the incan lights out of 3 different over stove vents with LEDs of various types..... None of which survived long due to the heat from the stove. Just my 2¢.
I Got tired of looking for the light at the end of the tunnel so i lit that bitch up myself! Convoy s2 365nm, Maxa-Beam Gen II, 55w hid/100w incan Vector Twin, Amondotech n30, vss-3A, Reylight Ti Lan v3, Helius Sigma 9, astrolux s41 219, Shadow JM35, BLF GT,
Ive been replacing these every couple of years in a different brand hood, but they work well for that time. Nice bright cool white.

"DON'T install the bulb inside microwave oven.") Maybe none of them will last long, either incandescent or LED, for that very reason.
I did ask my wife today, when she has installed them in the past, if she uses her bare hand. She told me that she has. My understanding is that the oils in a person's skin reduces the life of those bulbs.
EDIT: I did send an email and specifically asked about their products and they suggested their T22 LED Replacement Bulb for WB36X10003 and other Microwave Light Bulbs - 225 Lumens
Part Number: T22D-x2DF-E17.
I also found these on Ebay, which specifically mention microwave ovens.

I did order from Super Bright LEDs. FRITZHID's comment about the heat concerned me. I did see that Super Bright LED have a 3 year warranty. That sealed the deal for me. Brown Santa should be delivering them in a few days. I will report back here after I install them.
These arrived this afternoon. When I opened the package, I found out that the glass was cracked on one of the bulbs. installed both of them anyway. I noticed that when LOT is selected, they seem to be strobing. Is that caused by the broken glass, something to do with the LOW setting, or something else?
They're not dimmable LED bulbs OR if they are, the dim setting on your hood just isn't compatible with LEDs. The hood was designed with incan bulbs in mind, they aren't effected by chopped waveform power like LEDs are.
I Got tired of looking for the light at the end of the tunnel so i lit that bitch up myself! Convoy s2 365nm, Maxa-Beam Gen II, 55w hid/100w incan Vector Twin, Amondotech n30, vss-3A, Reylight Ti Lan v3, Helius Sigma 9, astrolux s41 219, Shadow JM35, BLF GT,
I have encountered the strobing effect with my own stove hood (Nutone brand) and LED's that are dimmable, as well as in a "3-way" floor lamp (which turned out not actually have a 3-way switch, but an inline electronic dimmer). Some LED's strobe. Others don't light up at all.
In both cases, it appears the method the fixture uses to dim the bulb is the issue - some sort of weird signal that I haven't troubleshot any further.
I gave up and have continued using halogen's in my range hood for the time being.
It looks like the issue of the this type of poor quality dimmer being used in over-the-range appliances might be more widespread than just the brand I had the poor experience with.
That is interesting. Well, considering how little power LEDs draw, I guess the simple solution is to simply run them on HIGH!
Hi there! I cannot find a replacement LED bulb for my just installed (following the guide) samsung microwave nightlight. I pulled the bulb out and it is unmarked. The manual says to "replace with a 40w appliance bulb". The bulb is long and narrow in shape. I am looking for the brightest possible replacement.
Thanks much for the help

My sister is the lovely hand model for today :P. I painted her nails when I visited for Thanksgiving.
I bought Cassi because I thought she'd be the coral I'm looking for for my wedding colors. I was SO worried when I got the bottle and she looked like a soft baby pink. When you put her on the nails though, the orange really shows up in that pink. She put her fingernails next to my polish togo bag so you can see how nicely it matches with the pink and orange on it.
I love her just as much as I thought. The bottle color really worried me, but she turned out perfect. She really does have plenty of orange in there to make her coral.

It took a while, but it was bound to happen. Twenty years after one of the most legendary rock concerts ever -- the 1983 US Festival -- some of the performances that made it so legendary are starting to leak out. After the success of the 1982 US Festival, organizer Steve Wozniak pulled out all the stops for the second -- and final -- year. There was "New Wave Saturday," with INXS, Oingo Boingo, The Clash (!) and others. And, more notably, there was "Heavy Metal Sunday," which, for all intents and purposes, formally put the world on notice that the '80s were going to be a hard-rockin' decade. Mötley Crüe (in the opening slot), Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Triumph, Scorpions and, most famously, Van Halen delivered a statement of intent nearly as powerful as the one delivered 15 years earlier at Monterey Pop. Triumph's is the first set from this legendary day to find legitimate release, and this CD/DVD package is a stunning reminder of how powerful the band was at the time and, sadly, how poorly history has treated them. It's important to remember that Ozzy, Mötley Crüe and Judas Priest were all put on the bill before these Canadian rockers, and their melodic but powerful rock was an integral part of any denim-clad kids diet back in the early '80s. (As is noted in the press materials, the group rocked a crowd of 55,000 at Orlando's Tangerine Bowl the day before the US Festival, headlining a bill that included Sammy Hagar and ZZ Top.) This set covers all the band's bases -- "Allied Forces," "Rock & Roll Machine," "When the Lights Go Down" -- and the CD sounds great. The DVD portion, however, is what shines. The idea of a half-million (yes, a half-million) rock fans gathered drunkenly in rock & roll bacchanal is nearly as halcyon as the peace and love espoused by the Woodstock generation. Now, two decades later, perhaps the historical record will start to reflect just that.

She said "so what's new". So after she left, I was looking around my iPad to see what was new with 4.2. I found nothing had really changed. Her words came back to me, "so what's new". I was eagerly awaiting 4.2 for months and now that I have, what can I do that I couldn't do before? So far, the answer is nothing.

Away from my blog for a while but don't worry, I'd be doing my blog rounds just as soon as I am done with this post. Thing is, I hate typing and since I don't just type a post without first writing it down, it kind of duplicates my work.
I should continue with Patrick's story but I'd rather I offloaded what is on my chest although, I promise to be back with his story.
Yankeenaijababe expressed dismay at the abrupt end of Bobi and Beauty's tale: I did that because, since I'm still living, it means or that you'd still be reading about them from time to time. I didn't want to keep going on and on about the story till it becomes boring and tiring when there are a lot of them to tell.
I was posted outside of the state in which I was resident for my NYSC and so from time to time, I would travel back to Lagos just feel sane and simply unwind with friends and family.
I'm sure you all are a bit lost; I should tell this story the right way since I've laid a proper premise. I received a sms a few days back which read as follows:
"(My name withheld) or whatever you call yourself;
You husband snatcher! You think you have successfully
broken my home. Well now we are separated, so you can
become (name withheld)'s 3rd wife, I promise you, he'd sleep
with your mother, sister and househelp, you village dog!"
I was so shocked because I don't as a rule, encourage married men. I hate them when I find out they are not disciplined and don't condone sexual advances from them. I also recollected the guy's name (Judge not yet) but in all honesty, I've only met him once so how can his wife be raining curses and abuses on me, blaming me for the failure of her marriage?
My first impulse was to send a reply asking if she was ok and maybe she had the wrong number? But the name in the text suggested that it was intended for me. Then again, a silent voice advised me to delete the message and I did just that. When I brought the issue up with my girlfriend who knew the whole story concerning this guy, she laughed and said:
"Chic, he wants your attention! He just cannot believe
That he's been had, you actually dealt cards which guys
Would normally deal"
One of those times I came in from my place of primary assignment, I woke up one morning with an intent to see a dear friend of mine and decided to go pay him a visit at his place of work. I didn't go with a car because they were all in use; after the visit, my friend saw me off but when we got to the company's parking lot, it was then he realized I didn't come with a ride that day which meant I had to stand under a terribly hot and scorching sun to get a cab. My friend had to get back to his office and me; I waited, stood alone for a cab that was proving difficult by the minute to see.
The sun now was so hot, I had already started to perspire and my make-up had started to drip down my face (picture that). I was still looking hot (well but excuse me, but I always do) and off course, trust Lagos guys and wanting to always give you a lift (' wonder if anyone of them has ever given one to a spirit?).
I don't as a rule take 'lifts' but on this day, the sun had started doing wonders to my brain and when this guy with a cool ride stopped, he didn't have to ask me twice before I happily hopped in. Turns out I was heading to Lekki and he, Victoria Island but I didn't mind much, I just needed some time to cool off with the car's A/C and anywhere he drops me in V/I, I could comfortably get a cab home.
Not 3minutes after the car started moving, he started acting funny, asking me out and telling me how God had wanted us to meet by making him take this route which he doesn't take because of the traffic. I had already started getting irritated; He said he was married but to an American (eyes rolling; yeah right, like I care!) that he needs a companion who'd 'take care' of him. That he works with Toyota (That was before it went bankrupt).
He went as far as saying he has a party to attend which a certain Governor had had invited to be appreciated;he didn't want to go there single, since the said Governor will want to hook him up with all sorts of girls that he wants a clean girl like me. That I should be lucky he's picked me, he could marry me as his Naija wife if I'm good to him, we should go for the party so we could 'cement' our new found love. I felt dirty; hating myself for breaking my resolve never to take 'lifts'. He asked me of my name and I did give him my name but he wasn't paying attention and started calling me something else which was fine by me. He even went as far as trying to hold my hands in the car! I was beginning to get scared and couldn't wait for the 'lift' to be over. He paid for my cab-fare and said he'd call me to conclude 'our' travel arrangements.
When I got home, I called this girlfriend of mine and she laughed at me calling me an 'osho free', me sef, I come tire for myself. He called though the next day but trust me, I didn't pick.
My friend and I went back to our station shortly after that. A month or so after that, he called and I picked not knowing who it was at the other end. (I had deleted his number) He then identified himself and said I should come down to Lagos to see him; I then said okay but asked for my ticket-to and fro; he said he knows I have money, that I should pay my way down, he'd re-imburse me. I just hissed and ended the conversation.
My friend- "What's up?"
Sosexy- "It's that married Toyota guy again"
My friend- "He's still hanging around"
Sosexy- "That isn't even the annoying part, he said
That I should come down to Lagos to see him at my
Own expense"
My friend- "That guy's stupid!"
Sosexy- "Imagine the bingo!"
I don't respect married guys that mess around. I don't chase them away, I teach them a lesson by 'helping' them spend their money till they realize that they've been played and I would definitely not have anything to do with them. Hence my annoyance at chics who go the whole 9yards when you can just curb your greed and manage the little you got from the early periods. Please why should I be a married man's consolation prize or his ego enhancer when there are loads of single guys out there? Not here to preach so let me continue:
So this 'bingo' calls again and exactly a month or so had gone past and told me that he's in Abuja for a meeting and lodging at Hilton that I should come and have fun with him. I asked him if I'd get there with my teeth, then he said he'd call the counter to book a flight for me; I wasn't happy because the money will go to waste since I wasn't going.
He called back to say there were no flights at that time and that I should send my account number, preferably a bank within the hotel; I sent him a friend's redundant account which she wasn't in the habit of using. He finally sent the flight money and added more money 'to take care of myself' that I should start coming immediately. I laughed. This is exactly what they do to entice girls who then fall prey out of greed for more.
What I did with the money?
My friends and I had sweet fun for 3days with the money.Oh and yeah, he sent me a text saying 'God will judge me' well, back to sender! I hissed and deleted the silly text.
After all this time as I'm now working and all he still can't get over the fact that some girls can be bad. He should admit it, I was a better schemer and I make no apologies. All these married men need to be taught a lesson, yeah! GO HOME TO YOUR WIFE!
Be back with Patrick.

You were obviously smarter than he was. I can't help but think about the issue of kidnapping young women for sacrifices (not sure if anyone else thought about it). The truth is that he was a STRANGER. And anything could have happened.
A good thing to do would have been to reject his money; it would only avoid any cases of regrets or revenge.
You're one smart babe, u know?

Wow you are brave! I would not have been able to get in the car! I have never understood women that choose to go and insult the other woman and even beat her when they find out their husband is cheating. Why not go and beat the husband if you have the balls?

@ Myne..Darling..Lol,ok, Thank you I will.
@Rene..Lol..Sharp chic!
@Shorty..Thanks chic..Will be careful
@Jaycee...Yeah, as soon as I got in and then his advances,It dawned on me..About being smart, Y thank you!Lol
@Lady X..Don't mind them oh..But I still doubt that its the wife cause I've not had any communication with him, I still think its the silly married guy.
Thank you all so much for coming.

Married men really need to be taught some tough lessons especially the cheating ones who cannot control anything, love that they learnt the hard way in this story.

Wow!! I definitely would not have done any of that. I think it's probably those horror movies I've watched, after all a powerful and rich man, can hire people, and stalk, especially if their egos have been bruised from being tricked.
This is definitely not my style, I would have never got a lift, nor would I have accepted taxi fare home, nor would I have played pretence. I would have tried to remain as blameless as possible.
As for the flight money, such a rich man won't learn his lesson through losing it, afterall a woman who accepts it and sleeps with him for the money, is dishonest and untrustworthy- in the same category as someone who takes the money and runs, being un-trustworthy and dishonest too.
With the bank transfer, that was definitely dodgy.
But anyways, I can't 100% say what I would have done in that situation.
I don't mean to judge, I am simply being honest.

In celebration of my most favorite of holidays, let's take a classic and infest it. Or rather read as Seth Grahame-Smith does in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This book is brilliant; the idea of intertwining a classic romantic novel with blood thirsty brain eating monsters is refreshing.
Smith leaves the subtlety of the original intact and deftly sneaks the undead in. This is definitely a novel for fans of the Jane Austen classic, not for gore horror junkies just looking for blood and brains. At times the novel is word for word from the original, preserving the atmosphere of high class 19th century England. He first refers to zombies as "unmentionables," an inspired term that keeps the world intact. He abandons it later in the novel, and the jarring switch dilutes the air of refinement, but at that point you're so attached to the world that it's forgivable.
His sense of humor is delightful and he adds it with a light touch. Charlotte Lucas debating the pros and cons of men is genius; their station in life is key, yet one must consider that a larger head provides more brains to feast upon. The scene of Darcy's first profession of love and Lizzy's unyielding reply is elevated from a verbal sparring match to a physical one; one of the most enjoyable moments in the whole novel.
All in all, this was a fun read; delightful and satisfying. "I have not yet forgiven (Mr. Darcy) for insulting my honor and may yet have his head upon my mantle," says Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Indeed she might, if unmentionables don't get it first.
