HMRC has issued a statement regarding who should sign form P11D(b) following concerns raised about forms being returned by HMRC where the agent has signed the form, or a 'stamped' signature has been used.
A number of the members of ECF have raised concerns in the past few weeks about signatures on form P11db.
We have spoken to our colleagues and have had the following response.
'A number of instances have been queried recently where the P11D(b) has been returned with a statement that it is an incorrect signature.
These rejections are occurring due to a more rigid adherence to the rules following the centralisation of the processing of the forms into one place.
Our guidance is that where a paper submission is made that the P11D(b) is signed by the employer, we do not accept forms where the signature is simply an agents stamp or a copy. The fact that all forms are being processed in one place has allowed us to treat employers equally and apply the rules correctly. In the past local practices were occurring that meant not everyone was being treated the same.
We will however review our guidelines in light of the number of queries received. We will consider whether it is possible to make it an acceptable practice for the 2011/12 filed forms. Guidance will be provided when a decision has been made.'
Where a customer has received a rejection letter they should contact the number provided on the letter to discuss any issues they may have, that way we can maintain continuity of response.
I would like to thank those of you who raised the issue and I am pleased that we will be reviewing the guidance for next year. I will make sure you know the result of our review.

cant i just wash parfait jug well, put pickles in, refridge, done? put spears in lovely warm brine, put on rubber gasket, closed lid. isnt that enough? do i have to worry about sterilization and gaskets etc?
im pretty sure if i just cover the vegetable with brine and close the lid, its fine. some recipes are overly descriptive about sterilizing the jug and making sure no air is trapped... if someone has a link explaining this all in like two lines im good! :)
It's always a good idea to sterilize your jar (and gasket) before pickling. But if it's a quick pickle that you plan to keep refrigerated and eat within a week, then just washing the jug/jar well before adding the pickles should be fine.
thanks! and as for the air? 1. tight seal and brine to the top? or 2. brine enough to cover the vegetable and just close the lid clasp and leave the orange gasket for real pickles?
Brine enough to cover the vegetable and I'd use the orange gasket just so the jar doesn't leak if turned on its side. Hope the pickles turn out great!
Sterilize your jar but look at recipes for refrigerator pickles.

The state of Arkansas, Gov. Mike Beebe, prop., doggedly insists that it has labored over the years in the best interest of its disabled citizens by housing them in big institutions, rather than following the national move to community-based care.
Even still, it won't budge in the face of news that the feds intend to sue over the adequacy of all the institutions, not just the problem-plagued unit in Alexander and the huge institution in Conway.
But how good a job are we doing if the experts hired by the state to address substandard care have concluded the center at Arkadelphia Alexander alone can't be operated properly without 70 more employees (where it now has about 200) and needs the equivalent of 14 other full-time workers on special contracts besides.
And what kind of accountability exists in a state where the failed director of that center is rewarded by a return to the vast and highly paid DHS hierarchy?
These questions were raised by report in D-G today, subscription only, unfortunately.

So i know I'm really late on the bandwagon with this one, but i have been wanting this "Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette" for so long but i never seem to be able to part with the crazy amount of money that this costs, which is £37 so i decided last year to ask for it for Christmas and lucky for me i got it :). Now I've been using it for a few months i thought i would share my thoughts with you.
First of all i just want to mention how nice the packaging is, its so sleek and compact! Now onto the actual eye shadows, The colours are amazingly pigmented, and if I'm honest i don't think there's one colour in the palette that i don't like. There are three Matte shades and the rest are a frost and shimmer finish, I'm not as keen on the matte shades as the rest but the lighter shades are great bases and the black ( Blackout) is a perfect basic black that can be used for many eye looks.
The Naked 2 Palette comes with twelve eye shadows, as do all the naked palettes apart from the naked basics. Which from left to right are "Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted and Blackout. If I'm honest i prefer the gold toned shades rather than the taupe shades. My favourite five shades out of the twelve are "Half Baked", "Chopper", "Snakebite", "YDK" and "Busted".
The Naked 2 palette also comes with a double ended and full size eyeshadow and crease brush and a mini Lip Junkie Lip gloss in the shade Naked. The brush is a nice little added extra, however the lip gloss seems a little bit pointless to me. It makes much more sense to add a eyeshadow primer like Urban Decay did with the first naked palette but maybe that's just my opinion, i mean the lip gloss itself is quite nice but i doubt i will use it very much.
Overall i think the Naked 2 palette is amazing, I think it is worth the £37, and if you work it out the eye shadows are around £3 each which when you think about it is actually amazingly cheap! I'm pretty sure the palette will last me ages but if it doesn't i think i will definitely repurchase it. Now i need to get my hands on the Naked 3 palette!
You can purchase the naked palette at any urban decay retailer, such as:
Do you own any Naked palettes?
Do you think they are worth the £37 that the cost?

4) Does the missus let you have pinups in your room?
5) And finally: Has Christina just stopped getting dressed altogether? Does she go places wrapped in a swansdown quilt, like expensive china, and then get undressed whenever she arrives there? Is she, like, too good for clothes?

Just to be clear, I don't like the first picture. Skanky Ho'. The second is more my speed.

they both have been done so much, but out of the two i prefer 'skanky ho', probably just because she is standing in the water, which lends a pervy note to the pic...i can't look at the swanky ho without thinking of the large hotel room bill i am gonna be stuck with - and she'll probably steal the towels too!

For exactly what would X-tina need a towel? It's not like she bathes regularly. No, not even now, with the whole Swnaky Swank thing going on. Obviously she is dusted by the angels with pure moonbeams. A girl doesn't need to wash when she has service like that.

Turinabol Cycle - Everything You Need To Know | bestallcialis.top
Us ectomorph's know that to build even the slightest amounts of muscle it requires months and months of hard work and dedication.
Because not everyone has the genetics to get jacked naturally, some turn to steroids. Cleaning up your diet and choosing a powerful steroid is probably the quickest way to make gains in bodybuilding. Despite concerns around the safety of steroids , people continue to covet them more than ever before. Turinabol is an incredibly potent steroid used in the bodybuilding world, and as a result more and more people are running Tbol cycles.
But what exactly is Turinabol, and is it the real deal? Take aread of this Turinabol cycle guide and draw your own conclusions. What people fail to realize more often than not, however, is that Turinabol is also a form of Dianabol , which has been modified. Dianabol is one of the most popular anabolic steroids currently in existence, and is a firm-favourite amongst keen bodybuilders worldwide, include many pros. Back in the s, scientists created Turinabol in a laboratory to help treat bone-wasting diseases such as Osteoporosis.
During their research into this drug, however, experts found that Tbol provided performance-enhancing benefits from an athletic perspective. Due to their findings, experts prescribed Tbol to East German athletes over the next 20 years, to help them perform better in their various disciplines. Turinabol was actually created and prescribed for athletes up until the 90s, when the infamous Baseball steroid scandal rocked the world.
For medical purposes, Turinabol has not been created nor prescribed for more than two decades, making it a controlled substance that is deemed unsafe for human use. Despite this fact, there are still countless bodybuilders worldwide that swear by Tbol; but does it really live up to the hype?
As it's a form of modified Dianabol, it should come as no real shock to learn that Tbol is ideal for bodybuilders looking to really pack on some serious muscle mass.
After running just one Turinabol cycle, bodybuilders have noted insane improvements in their physiques, making it a very popular bulking steroid. After just one cycle, it's not uncommon for guys to gain more than 20 pounds of pure muscle mass, which is extremely impressive. Some people, however, respond better than others and have packed on as much as 30 pounds during their first Turinabol cycle. It's a steroid where you'll look and feel bigger each every morning you wake up.
The interesting thing about Tbol is that it's effective for both bulking phases, and cutting phases. Tbol won't only help you pack on muscle but it also speeds up your metabolism, enhancing fat loss. Thus you can expect to build muscle and burn fat at the same time on Tbol. With injections there are several risks and possible complications, plus, you know, jamming a needle into your ass actually hurts! Just be warned, however, just because Turninabol is orally administered, this does not make it any less potent.
In fact, oral steroids can be more toxic than injectable ones, so never overdose and keep your cycles as short as possible. When you consider that the average 5ft 10 mens physique competitor weighs around pounds, and your average 5ft 10 pro bodybuilder weighs around — pounds, this is quite a difference in size.
Typical juicers suddenly blow up in size and retain a truck load of water — making it obvious to the people around them. Tbol on the other hand will be trimming away at your fat, as well as building more muscle to your frame. Some anabolic steroids are notoriously difficult to get hold of, whereas others are a little easier. Remember, steroids are controlled substances which are banned in many countries across the world, so they can be difficult to source.
Turinabol however, is surprisingly easy to get hold of via the black market, making it an ideal steroid for people looking to get big and shredded.
As Tbol is an anabolic steroid, and is orally administered, it can cause some pretty nasty side effects if abused or used incorrectly. This way you'll know what to expect from your tbol cycle.
As Dianabol has been proven to aromatize into Estrogen, many people out there wrongly believe that Turinabol will also aromatize and therefore provide Estrogenic side-effects.
Because of its chemical structure, Tbol cannot aromatize, meaning that common estrogenic side-effects such as gyno and acne, are not present. So, say for example, an individual is already pretty short-tempered, steroids would perhaps make them more prone to losing their temper.
If, however, a mild-mannered person was to use steroids, they get roid rage out of the blue and become irrational. This is because they're not prone to this type of behaviour to begin with. Turinabol is androgenic, meaning it affects androgen hormones in the body such as testosterone. It's these hormones which can cause such mood swings. Another common side effect associated with Turinabol usage is oily skin, especially in people that already have oily skin to begin with.
You see, as Tbol is androgenic, it can cause androgenic characteristics such as hair growth, deepening of the voice, and even changes to the shape of your jaw. In men these changes are not noticeable, but in women they can be noticeable and can result in women looking more masculine in their appearance. Tbol has also been found to be fairly toxic on the liver, as is the case with most oral steroids. If you are bulking and looking to increase your muscle mass and strength, you will generally go with a higher dose of between 70 and 80mg each day.
Whether bulking or cutting, women should consume no more than 5 — 10mg each day, to help ensure they do not take on any male physical characteristics. You can also go for Deca-Durabolin , because it has a shorter half-life. Believe it or not, even though Tbol does not Aromatize into Estrogen, it has been known to cause Gyno man boobs. Thus if you run a Tbol cycle, some popular PCT choices include: Nolvadex, Clomid, Arimidex, and Tamoxifen. Again, it also depends on whether you're Tbol it by itself, or whether you're stacking it with other anabolic steroids.

Feedback on "Children who can 4 Children who can't" fundraising campaign
In 2011, the Children who can 4 Children who can't fundraising campaign in aid of Tygerberg Children's Hospital, was launched at Western Cape schools. This campaign saw 103 Western Cape schools participate in this charity "Civvies Day", yielding a total income of R133 242.11!
Although this was intended to be a single event only, due to popular request from many schools not able to participate in 2011 (and also many that did participate), we decided to again appeal to all Western Cape schools in 2012 to participate in a more flexibly structured campaign. We left it to the discretion of each individual school to determine the nature of and appropriate time of the year for its fundraising initiative.
The 2012 campaign generated an amount of R104 892.67, comprising contributions from 65 schools, of which 35 schools contributed in 2011 and in 2012.
Accordingly, 133 Western Cape schools participated in this fundraising campaign, raising the fantastic amount of R238 134.78 for the benefit of Tygerberg Children's Hospital. Well done to all schools that participated!
We truly appreciate each school's and each family's support for Tygerberg Children's Hospital and the many less privileged children and newborn babies in our care.

With the right cold weather gear, like protective gloves and headwear, runners can enjoy the Seawall path year-round.
2. Burnaby Central Park
Vancouver is full of parks for runners to explore, and Burnaby Park is one of the most popular, even if it is considered a suburb outside the main city. Burnaby offers runners 214 acres of family-friendly trails. Many of the winding paths lead runners through towering trees and lush forest, making this a perfect place for a sweaty escape.
3. Trout Lake
Vancouver is a city that is rich in waterfront views. Trout Lake is a popular choice for runners who want to loop around a glistening body of water, and maybe cool down in the lake afterward. Most of the waterfront paths are paved, so runners should wear footwear that is meant for road running.
4. Jericho Park
Jericho Park has everything, from tree-lined paths, to open fields, to the sandy Jericho Beach. Runners can choose paved roads that surround the park, or more natural trails. If runners want a real challenge, they can even run on the sand at the north side of the park.

Nose Hill Park is popular among Calgary residents who want to get out of the traffic and crowds to seek solace with a view. With a flat summit and rolling prairie grassland, Nose Hill is a relaxing place to run for those who also want to gain some incline. Runners should remember to wear appropriate pants when the weather is cold, as the long grass can feel uncomfortable on bare skin during colder months.
3. Fish Creek Provincial Park
The largest urban park in all of Calgary, Fish Creek Provincial Park offers runners endless trails and open land. The park is full of tree-lined trails that are marked, so runners won't get lost. Trail races are popular here, and many of the races include running over streams and rocks.
4. Edworthy Park
Edworthy Park has everything for runners, with trails that provide river views and city views. One of the most popular trails is the Douglas Fur Trail, which gains some elevation to give runners an added challenge. Both men and women should remember to wear the proper running shoes for traversing uneven terrain.
5. Weaselhead Flats
Weaselhead Flats borders the Glenmore Reservoir. Runners not only have plenty of trails to choose from, but they also have views of the water to accompany the 237 hectares of land.

5 Great Places to Run Around Edmonton
Edmonton's pedigree as an urban runner's paradise is indisputable. This central Alberta metropolis has even hosted the 2001 World Track and Field Championships. That same year, William Hawrelak Park was at the epicentre of the World Triathlon Championships.
1. River Valley Trails
Edmonton boasts more kilometres of forested trails than any other major city in North America. Many runners put on their running shoes and focus their attention on the interconnected parks running along the North Saskatchewan River. Collectively, these parks offer more than 150 km of trails. Runners can opt for routes along the river bank, through deep woods and down into ravines. Consult the river valley trail maps maintained by the City of Edmonton.
2. Kinsmen Sports Centre Area
Kinsmen is a fitness colossus that is the largest centre of its kind in all of Canada. Many runners begin and end their daily runs at the centre. There are 22 mapped routes offer runners every workout option imaginable. Don't forget that pedometer during a run along the 16.70 km "Mill Creek Monster," a route that traverses Queen Elizabeth Park, Mill Creek Ravine and Argyll Park. It may be challenging, but it is consistently scenic.
Beginners and those with slightly less ambitious desires can try the "Cloverdale Clover," a 7.30 km that simply goes out along the north bank of the river and returns along the south bank after it crosses the Cloverdale Bridge. There's also an S-shaped, 19.83 km riverfront trail that passes right by the Edmonton Valley Zoo.
3. Gold Bar Park Trails
At Gold Bar Park, it is possible to follow a forest trail along the river beginning at 50 street west and continuing to the Gold Bar/Rundle foot bridge. After crossing the river, follow the trail to the right, into Rundle Park, and follow the unpaved trail that is close to the top of the riverbank. Follow the route to the tennis courts, turn around, and return to your starting point along the same path. The trails along the northern edge of Goldbar Park are popular. In the winter, these trails entertain cross-country skiers.
4. Millcreek Ravine Park Trail
The Millcreek Ravine Park Trail leads right into the downtown River Valley Trail System for those that want to traverse greater distances. Both the paved and unpaved trails offer a tranquil and relaxing alternative to more urban routes. Access the park's trails at 95A Street and 83rd Avenue.
5. Terwillegar Park Trails
Terwillegar Park is tucked into a deep bend in the North Saskatchewan River. Many of the trails are hard-packed and therefore quite conducive to running. Views of the river and various ponds accompany many a run in Terwilligar Park. Those interested in the added challenge of an occasional incline will find fulfillment on some trails.

5 Great Places to Run Around Saskatoon
There is certainly a large group of dedicated runners in Saskatoon, and there is no shortage of trails to serve this fitness-minded community. Although much of the attention understandably gravitates toward the trails on either side of the South Saskatchewan River, other routes are popular as well.
1. Meewasin Valley Trail
"Meewasin" is a Cree word for "beautiful," and the Meewasin Valley Trail certainly lives up to its name. In fact, in 2012, Reader's Digest included the trail on its list of the "10 Greatest Hikes in Canada." This trail runs on both sides of the river, and access points are provided throughout Saskatoon. Seventeen kilometres of the trail are part of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT). The TCT will ultimately connect over a thousand communities with more than 22,000 kilometres of trails. In Saskatoon, runners on the Meewasin Valley Trail can easily forget that they and their running shoes are making their way though a city populated by a quarter-million inhabitants.
2. Mogathon Route
Anyone interested in a good 10k run can follow the route of the 2015 Mogathon. Click here for a route map. Start at the south end of the Central Business District and follow the Broadway Avenue Bridge to the east side of the river. Follow the trail to just south of Diefenbaker Park. There, it is possible to cross the bridge back across the river and to return along the trail on the other side of the river.
3. Gabriel Dumont Park
The trail at Gabriel Dumont Park runs along the banks of the river, only a five-minute drive from the downtown area. This is a modest 3k trail on the south side of Saskatoon that's appropriate for beginners and others just looking for a quick run. The trailhead is found near the parking lot south of the intersection of 8th Street and Saskatchewan Crescent. Runners embark on a crushed rock trail that is routed over gently rolling terrain. Natural grasses flank runners along a trail that is often just metres from the river.
4. Beaver Creek Conservation Area
A quick 10-minute drive south of the city is all that is required to enjoy a run at the Beaver Creek Conservation Area. Here, runners can opt for routes that range from flat, sandy trails to those routed around beaver dams. The four trails in the vicinity of the dams feature elevation changes as they occasionally traverse woodlands. These often-narrow trails are perfect for the runner who seeks more demanding inclines than are typically found on the more urban trails.
5. Crocus Prairie
Those seeking a serious workout in a pristine environment can head out on Central Avenue to a dirt parking lot past the Regional Psychiatric Centre. The seasonal profusion of blossoming crocus flowers adds inspiration along the way. Runners can extend their experience by moving on from the Crocus Prairie trail to the Sutherland Beach trail.
A helpful resource for runners in the area is the Saskatoon Road Runners Association. This active group of devoted runners offers training and competition opportunities for those of every age group and ability level.
You'll find all the running gear that you will need, including shoes, apparel and accessories, at Sport Chek, Canada's largest online sports retailer.

2. Sturgeon Creek Park
Those looking for a great place to run in the suburbs should check out Sturgeon Road and the loop that it forms with Sturgeon Creek Park. Start your run over at the Grace Hospital and jog through the beautiful suburbs of Western Winnipeg as you make your way towards Silver Avenue. Then begins the transition to a more nature intensive run as you enter Sturgeon Creek Park and run alongside the creek until you return to the hospital. This route is the perfect blend of civilization and nature, and is also a great trail for bringing your dog along with you.
3. St. John's
If you are seeking a more urban environment to exercise in, look no further than St. John's, located just west of the Red River. This densely populated area has plenty of sidewalks and crosswalks so that you can safely jog through the city without having to worry about traffic. Another great feature of running through St. John's is the abundance of routes that are available to take. Experienced runners can go for much longer by jogging the perimeter of the community, while beginners can get the same great city experience by taking different streets to shave a little distance off of their jog.
5 Great Places to Run Around the Greater Toronto Area
High Park
It's easy to forget where you are in Toronto's largest and most popular park. With terrain that will tax even well-developed calves, High Park offers both paved and unpaved running trails. Beginners will find the paved roadways near Bloor Street fairly level. Down below, there is a level trail that circles Grenadier Pond.
Humber Bay Park East and West
This is one of those areas only locals know about. Tall condos block the lake from the highway, making this a pristine waterfront jog through a wildlife and butterfly sanctuary. Photographers love this area for its view of the Toronto skyline and the wildlife that live here. This area will make you want to put on your shorts and go for a run on the level trails.
Toronto Lakeshore
Even when there is no breeze, there is something about a body of water that makes everything seem cooler. This path runs along the edge of Lake Ontario, south of the Gardiner Expressway, and will take you from the city's west end to the east end. The path is shared by cyclists, runners, and people who just enjoy being by the lake. If you need added inspiration, keep in mind that this stretch is included in the annual Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
Mississauga & Oakville
Further west along the Lakeshore, across the border into Mississauga, signs will point you to Lakefront Promenade Park. Here, a beginning runner can enjoy the feel of running by the water, on groomed gravel and pavement, past the Mississauga Sailing Club. Runners of all abilities frequent this trail.
As you might have guessed, running by the water is a favourite activity of ours, and Oakville continues in that vein. From Lakeshore Road West, head south along Forsythe Street past the Oakville Yacht Squadron and on to Tannery Park. Here you will have an unobstructed view of Lake Ontario as you continue westward on the Waterfront Trail. A cool wind blows ashore on this open stretch, so you may want to bring a windbreaker.
5 Great Places to Run Around Toronto
Toronto is a fantastic place to live and it is also a fantastic place to exercise. With that in mind, here are 5 great places to run around Toronto.
1. Toronto Islands
Though a little off the beaten path, there are plenty of great places to run along the Toronto islands. Many of these islands offer bicycle rentals, but they also have excellent running paths that anyone can utilize. If you are looking for a cozy place to run along the beach, you might check out one of these islands.
2. Humber River Trail
If you like running along freshwater rather than the sea, these paved trails along the Humber River are a great option. Runners here can enjoy 32 km of running paths and is a very underutilized spot for running. This makes it great if you want some more privacy on your run.
3. High Park
This park is great not only for its trails, but also for its 400 acres of land that you can easily navigate. These unpaved paths include plenty of gardens, trees, and hills, all of which creates a soothing environment and a challenging run.
4. Beltline Trail
This long trail runs along where the old railway used to be. It is a popular destination for runners, which is why it has many entrances along the northeast part of Toronto.
5. Yorkville Park
If you want more of a city environment, Yorkville Park is a great option to consider. It features some unique architecture and just the right amount of trees to make for a calming environment. Running around this park can be a great way to exercise in a more urban environment.
General Running Tips
Of course, there are also some general tips you should keep in mind when running around Toronto.
- First, make sure to always have the right footwear, as this will help support your ankles, knees, and muscles.

4 Great Places to Run Around Ottawa
Now is a better time than ever to lace up a fresh new pair of running shoes, put on a new pair of shorts, and get some exercise in the great outdoors. So whether you are an experienced runner or someone who is just getting into it, we have all the gear you need to achieve your better.
1. Carleton University
If you are looking to do your running in a more suburban area, on a paved surface, then lace up your sneakers and head on over to the Carleton University campus. Start your run out on Campus Avenue and enjoy the gorgeous sights and sounds of the campus as you make your way towards University Drive, which loops around to take you right back to where you started.
2. Parc La Baie
For those of you who prefer to enjoy your exercise in the comfort of mother nature, check out the beautiful Parc La Baie, located on the shore of the Riviere des Outaouais. The park has several long and short paths running right through the heart of nature, allowing you to breathe in only the freshest air during your workout. Stick to the designated paths or blaze your own trails through nature -- the choice is yours in Parc La Baie.
3. Dow's Lake
Located right beside Carleton University, Dow's Lake offers runners a challenging, but rewarding place to go for a jog. Park your car off of Queen Elizabeth Drive, run the shore of the lake, and you will be back at your car before you know it. Not only is the lake itself full of wonderful views and jogging paths, but you also get to run through the Dominion Arboretum and the Fletcher Wildlife Garden, which are works of art in themselves.
4. Centretown
The most urban of all the running routes, this one takes you through the heart of the city via sidewalks and crosswalks on your way back to where you started. Experienced runners should have no trouble running the entire perimeter of Centretown, while those of you who are just starting out may want shorten the run by turning a few blocks early. Either way, this one-of-a-kind route will take you through a ton of city action while maintaining a nice, paved running surface.

2 Reasons To Contact A Roof Repair Service
A roof repair service is the best resource at your disposal due to the various ways in which they can keep your roof in the best possible shape for as many years as possible. Listed below are just a few of the many reasons to contact a roof repair service.
To Perform An Inspection
One of the most important ways to keep your roof in good shape is to perform an inspection of your roof performed at least once a year. The reason for this is that there are numerous problems that can affect your roof that you are not going to be able to pick up with a casual visual inspection. However, a roof repair service or roofing contractor will be able to take a closer look at your roof and find any troubling signs that could be pointing towards a leak or a weakening of the structural integrity of your roof.
To Quickly Replace A Damaged Or Missing Roof Tile
It is also a very good idea to contact a roof repair service if you notice that you have a damaged or missing roof tile. This is very important because once a single tile is damaged to the point where it's leaking or if you are missing a roof tile entirely, you can expect the problem to very rapidly spread throughout your roof. In many cases, this can result in moisture getting under the damaged roofing tile and then spreading deeper into your house and causing you to develop a mold problem.
In addition, if you have a missing roof tile, then it means that the roof tiles around it are not being held in place as strongly. As a result, it is only a matter of time before the other roofing tiles around it begin to loosen and can potentially get blown off during a storm and cause damage both to your property and possibly a neighbor's property. Additionally, this situation can end up spreading to the point where you have a large chunk of your roof missing roof tiles if you do not have a roof repair service replace or repair any damaged or missing tiles.
Contact a roof repair service today in order to discuss how they can help you improve the condition of your roof and to have them come out and perform an inspection in order to determine if any repairs are needed. You will want to contact a roof repair service to perform an inspection of your roof and to quickly replacing damaged or missing roof tile.

On average, humans spend 6-8 hours in their bedrooms. For many, this space is a sanctuary that requires a highly-personalized look where one can feel comfortable and at ease. Besides decor, homeowners need the right type of illumination in the room, not only for practical purposes but also to set the tone. Additionally, light fixtures like wall sconces can be used as beautiful accessories to complement any aesthetic.
The main advantage of using wall sconces for illumination is that they free plenty of surface space that table lamps would otherwise be taking. Being on the walls, these light fixtures also create visual appeal, comparable to a piece of artwork that would otherwise be hung.
To anchor the bed in a traditional setting, a set of Aidan Gray Elinore Wall Sconce might just be the perfect fit. Created from wood and flecked with gold, these wall lights will truly set the mood in any bedroom. The carved details on the wood creates a rustic, yet elegant ambiance that will work well in a room with other time-worn pieces.

The first visits of a priest to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard
Thomas Lester
Summer vacation is fast approaching, and for some readers, Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard may be your destination this year. With that in mind, we look to a document from our collection which provides a glimpse into the early Catholic history of both islands.
The document is attributed to Father Henry E.S. Henniss, and dates to July 14, 1857. At the time, Father Henniss was the pastor of New Bedford, which also made him responsible for serving Catholics on Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. In the first section, "Notes on the Mission of Nantucket," he opens by telling us that "the following facts have been elicited after a diligent examination of the oldest inhabitants of the Island of Nantucket."
According to his account, the first priest to visit the island was Father Patrick Canavan, in October 1833. Like Father Henniss, Father Canavan was the pastor of New Bedford and arrived by boat, saying the first Mass on the island in the house of James Gallagher on Washington Street. The Gallagher family, and another family by the name of Blessing, were the first Catholic families to settle on the island, having arrived in October 1831 from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. Two of their children, William Henry Blessing and William P. Gallagher, are recognized as the first two Catholic children born on the island.
The next visit by a Catholic priest would not take place until two years later, when Father Francis Kiernan arrived on March 29, 1835. Sadly, as Father Henniss records, "this was his first and last visit as he died afterwards in Portland." He continues to give an account of each successive priest to visit the island, stopping to note one instance in which Father Patrick Strain caused some friction by saying Mass at the Episcopal Church next to the "Ocean House." This upset both Catholic and Episcopalian leadership, and subsequent Masses were celebrated at Harmony Hall which had been built by the Sons of Temperance.
Father Strain was succeeded by Father Thomas McNulty, and in turn by Father Henniss in the autumn of 1853. He first visited the island in February 1854, at which time he celebrated Mass and set up a Sunday school at the home of Mrs. Lucy Sullivan on Main Street, next to the Quaker Meeting House, with Mrs. Sullivan acting as the instructor. He continued to visit the island quarterly, holding Mass at either Harmony Hall or Pantheon Hall, and hearing confessions at the home of Mr. John Meenagh. On April 8, 1856, Harmony Hall was purchased to establish a more permanent place of worship.
With a permanent structure now in place, Father Joseph Tallen visited the following year, on July 12, 1857, to erect a permanent altar and tabernacle, and move the Sunday school to the new building. Father Henniss closes this portion of his account by stating that the number of Catholics residing on Nantucket was 250.
The document continues with "Notes on Martha's Vinyard (sic.)" The island was first visited by the aforementioned Father McNulty in 1848. His visit was brief, and prompted by a request to visit a sick person in Holmes Hole.
A Catholic priest would not visit the island again for six years, until Father Hennis arrived on Sept. 5, 1854. After arriving in Edgartown and finding no Catholics, he ventured to Holmes Hole and celebrated Mass at Mr. Dorian's "Great House." He would later return to Edgartown, and celebrate the first Mass there at the home of a Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sylva, whose child was also the first baptized on the island.
Father Henniss ends by mentioning that a Catholic priest now visits the island twice each year, and places the number of Catholics residing there at 40.
Both Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard would remain part of the Diocese of Boston until February 16, 1872, when they were ceded to the newly formed Diocese of Providence. They were transferred again, in 1904, with the creation of the Diocese of Fall River.

Love Inter Caste Marriage In Mumbai: Belong to middle class. My family always wanted to provide me with world class education. I learned a lot through my education. One of them was the idea that there was no such thing as Castrist. Love Inter Caste Marriage In Mumbai I soon realized I had no bounds on love. I made me happy all my life I could love me who is looking for a girl. I made my decision to trust my information. I fell in love with many girls many times, but I could not suggest marriage to any of them. So I tried. Yes, I met a girl on the train. I fell into her simplicity. A few months later, we realized we were perfect for each other. It is time for our parents to convince our marriage. But we knew it would be difficult to persuade them. My parents always say 'marry intellectuals'. Otherwise we will cut you into pieces. 'When I told them about my love, I started to find a girl for me because I was worried about marrying a girl who is not a Brahmans. I tried to convince a close relationship with all my family, but nobody was ready to listen to me. . They started to threaten me.
We have begun to consider other options. By doing so, the only thing we can do is to get rid of the atmosphere where no one thinks about happiness without self-esteem. Somehow we came up with a plan and left that place in winter. Love Inter Caste Marriage In Mumbai We came to Delhi and stayed with one of the cousins who were victims of this blackmail for weeks. He helped us and soon began to work. Because we married a girl I love, we must be isolated from the whole family. I cannot give my address to anyone, but there may be a problem. I sought help from government and non-governmental organizations, but no one could help me. I have not found a way to help people like me in this kind of situation. Our law allows intercultural marriages, but there is no provision to protect those married outside the caste.

Many of you are already aware that our so called controllers are doing everything they can to put mom and pop out of business to make way for more poison coming from China we can't pay for and even our own government run factories and corporations backed by evil doers. For decades, corporations like Monsanto have forcefully stolen family farms by way of the legal system, despite all the screaming and complaining. It appears there is no end in sight to this atrocity unless we ALL wake up and learn to say NO! JUST SAY NO! We CAN take our country back, but IF and ONLY IF you decide to stand up and do something about it.
After our show Thursday, August 27, 2009 with Peppermint Jim Crosby of the Crosby Mint Farm in St Johns, Michigan, I felt compelled to make the overnight trek to their property in hopes of helping what I could on their final day at their family farm with a 98 year history.
Listen To The Archive Here!
Photos here:
I mean, I knew it was bad before scheduling this show, but I had no idea how bad which was why sacrificing a couple days of sleep and food meant nothing to me. On the show, we found out that GREENSTONE banksters had evicted them from their property and gave them 4 days to remove 98 years of history! They had before 5 PM to remove everything or face arrest by the local sheriff.
I had nothing to offer, only myself, love, heart and shoulders. I couldn't believe that every single local farmer in the country wasn't there to offer support so we hopped in the van and raced around the clock to make in there in time to do at least SOMETHING...key work here folks, none of us can do EVERYTHING, but everyone can do SOMETHING.
My secret for being able to stay up for 2 days.....MINT! Sorry guys, I don't do drugs...

The weather was a bit drab (which was fitting considering the circumstance), but that didn't stop me from finding the beauty in this situation, nor did it deter 30 other great patriots and community members from going out to help on the last day they were allowed by bogus bankster illegal laws to be on their property. I mean, come on! how do you remove a family farm operated for 98 seasons in 4 days???
The answer is, you don't. No matter what the thieves try to do, they will not remove that history, that heart and soul, the backbone of America that made our country strong.
I thought I knew the American Spirit, but until I was there, face to face with some of the most beautiful people in the world, I had no idea how strong, how pure, how grounded, aware and determined one family can be. I am truly humbled and honored by this experience.
It was difficult holding back the tears, tears of joy at witnessing first hand what happens when a community comes together in love for a common cause. I got to meet people who got married on the farm, those who went to school with Jim and Lynette and of course all their faithful employees and neighbors who were busting their butts doing all they could to move their supplies, equipment and most importantly offer love and support. This farm is not just any farm, it is very special, near and dear to many hearts and lives. Not only is their product necessary and useful AND THE BEST ONE AVAILABLE, each and every plant out there was grown and bottled with love. There is nothing more powerful than love!
The property itself is abundant, over 100 acres of pure mint, along with many other medicinal "weeds" (God's medicine) at their disposal. I can seen why the banksters would want to steal that from these remarkable people.
Of course, not to produce another quality product, but to yank it from you! To rip out the hearts and souls of those who have been so productive all these years and replace it with some fancy concrete.
Please do what you can to support this farm! They are not asking for handouts! They actually have enough product to sell and pay their enormous illegal debt.
Consider this...last year, they owed 325,000 in legal loans. Through various sources, the banksters have received over 3 MILLION, and they are now faced with a 550,000 bill!
Ask yourself, not only how that can happen, but what you can do to help turn it around! Can you repost this blog with links to the farm and send to your email lists? Can you forward the show to your email list? Do you have 5 dollars to spare to purchase a dram of pure oil, candles, candy or tea? Can you repost on twitter, facebook and any other social networking sites?
Like I said before, no one can do everything, but every one can do something! Is that too much to ask to help preserve 98 years of history in a proven natural medicinal and therapeutic product that has been used throughout all the ages in history?
What is your health and history worth to you???
When it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us! If you do nothing now, you will have only yourself to blame IF they are not able to find a financier or sell enough product to meet the deadline.
The deadline is now at 22 days and counting...
WE CAN TURN THIS AROUND and Peppermint Jim Crosby has made a promise that he will not give up and just walk away despite the pressure and illegal legal maneuvers they are using to block him out of his farm.
Just some of the uses of peppermint are:
headaches, nausea, toothaches, acne, bronchitis, diarrhea, convulsions, constipation, shock, sea sickness, heartburn, heart palpitations, sore throat, fevers, fainting and MUCH MUCH MORE...
Hundreds of uses of peppermint have been around for centuries. Why are you taking the doctor prescribed and over the counter medicines when you can be taking God's medicine?
Please consider helping this farm today! Don't wait, don't think about it any longer, DO IT NOW!!! The life you save may be your own!

I will be posting videos just as soon as my computer allows. Please check back for some heartwarming experiences with some of the most beautiful people on the planet!
Peppermint Jim's farewell...

3. WorldCom worth $103.9 billion in assets on 21st July 2002;

The companies from this top worth more than $1,400 billion, this amount representing 10 % of the 2009 United States gross domestic product (GDP). The crisis is not over and we might see other sonorous bankruptcies.

Young people from Crawley were among hundreds who tested themselves to the limits in a night-time endurance challenge.
Teams from 25 schools, colleges, and voluntary organisations, made up of 370 young people aged 14 to 21, took part in The Charlton Chase.
It is an overnight navigation event designed to test mental and physical stamina with teamwork featuring as the key to success.
In teams of four, the youngsters were challenged to find and complete 12 mental and physical activities – taking around eight to 12 hours.
One team, from Crawley Open Awards Centre, said their highlight was simply completing the course.
Asrath Perrott, 17, from Hazelwick School, said: "We're just glad we finished it, as we spent 11 hours outside in the freezing cold and snow."
John Murray, 16 also from Hazelwick School, added: "It was really challenging, especially at the beginning but just when you think you can't go on, you break through a barrier and know you can continue."
Freyja Bullen, 20, explained that despite the tough conditions, there was still time to have fun: "Singing along the way and falling in the mud made me laugh!"
Peter Harvey, WSCC's Young People's Service Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions Co-ordinator, organised the event. He said: "Now in its 39th year, we aim for The Charlton Chase to provide as broad a range of young people as possible a high quality experience, through which they can learn about individual stamina and teamwork."

Last night i made a fabric-cover for a scrapbook and today i finished it with some yellow (or light orange if you want) running stitch to add some colour. I´m pretty happy with the result:
It was a present for a good friend of mine who studies architecture and turned twentyone today.
Somehow it was sad for me to give the book out of my hands, so i think i´ll have to make another one for myself

There is this self-acclaimed perfectionism that is common with most writers. There is that ardor of creative infallibility that many writers are incorrectly doused with. Of course, as a writer, you are supposedly the Lord and Master of your pen. You are that expert tailor of words who can barely sew threads of words together inaccurately into a wrong content outfit. Yes, all this common.
It, however, gets disturbing as some writers lock themselves in the cocoons of their opinions. Their ears bent in a subjective poise they could barely hear inputs or feed-back on their article. Some writers would see a little spoonful of criticism as a bitter mouthful they find hard to swallow, least digest into their creative metabolism responsible for processing their write-ups. Some writers proudly uphold themselves in some aristocratic frenzy expecting their audience to dance to them and never the other way round. This level of defiance is inspiring but affront arrogance if you are a new writer breaking into the scene.
Criticism forms a crucial nerve in the intellectual metamorphosis of every writer. As you grow as a writer, you must listen to feedback, correction, subtle and even harsh criticism. Practically you should even relish criticism as "proteins" which you must ingest to grow as a writer. Not every time will you produce groundbreaking content, it is possible you may veer off tracks often. So you need someone to beam the headlights, you need someone to stick in the road signs so you can properly drive your creativity to the correct destination.
Truth is we just want to hear the smooth words, the pulsating praise "that was a wonderful piece there". But it is as fruitless as trying to get the Devil to give his life to Christ, when you comfortably nest with a hypocritical flatterer who will never point out your flaws. One thing you ought to understand when you receive criticism is: it is not like the critic is saying you are not good, he is actually trying to get you to become a better writer. You must know every criticism shot is ideally, from a constructive gun, one that wants to see you smooth some of your rough edges.
Try your best to separate yourself from the criticism. Don't take the criticism as a personal aggression, it is your writing they are criticizing, NOT you. This way you will be able to process feedback drinking in the juice of a critique. Take it with humility and cheerful openness, no one knows too little to correct you. While someone may add in liters of improvement, some would just give you a scanty drop. But be humble enough to despise none.
Pressing the brakes to this article, the nutrients in criticism are best absorbed when you know the inspiration behind the criticism. Ask your critics amiably why they feel so, what feeds their opinion. Note you are not challenging their perspective but just finding out the parent of the perspective. As wordsmiths, it is not every time we forge daring and sweeping content.
Once the receipt of our humanity–imperfection pops up in your work; at the end of the day, if all like your work, no one actually likes your work!

Tennessee's 2014 Dove Season Opens Labor Day, Sept. 1; Early Canada Goose Season Also Starts
NASHVILLE --- Dove season opens on Labor Day, Sept. 1 at noon (local time), which marks the annual start of one of Tennessee's most long-standing outdoor sports traditions.

The best thing about this episode is the completely gobsmacked expression on the pilot's face when describing his experience. Otherwise there's a lot of Archie Roy expounding extreme speculation like fact, as usual. And I recognise that a lot of 'crisis apparitions' have been recorded. But I'm not sure that makes them 'very very common' as he'd have you believe. Also, this episode really doesn't explore very well where the vision could be coming from. Is it conjured up by the mind of the experient entirely? Or is it their mind picking up something from the person they see? Or is it entirely down to the person who appears (whether still alive or dead)? I mean these are quite different things, and the distinction is very important to the analysis of the topic as a whole. Captain Bob's great though. You cannot doubt that he's relating what he experienced.
Jean: A thing happened to me a long time ago, with my mother in law when she died. She came one evening, well one Thursday night. I didn't know what it was, the bed was just rumbling about you know and things do – I thought it were a cat under the bed. The following night, I saw my mother in law sat at the bottom of the bed. In a grey coat, green headscarf, as large as life. And she said things had been moved out of her house, and so on and so forth, and she was very upset about it. So I wasn't shocked, I wasn't hurt, upset, frightened or anything, because she wouldn't harm me. So I said I would look into it. So I phoned my brother in law the day after, asked him what he was doing with mum's things. He said he'd put them away for safe-keeping while he decorated. Plus an ebony box which she also explained about, with a dragon on. And I didn't know about this box. Anyway he says, oh that was mum's jewellery box, and I said well put it back please on the chest of drawers where it belongs. And put her ornaments back. And I told him why. He did this for me as a favour, he didn't ask any questions. Sure enough the night came, I felt her walk in and the feeling round the bed, she came again. She sat down, took her scarf off. And I said, well things have been put back now, mum. I says, you'll be alright now. Please leave me alone, I said, because I'm losing a lot of sleep. You know, I says, you can rest in peace. So up she went, and turned away, and I said – oops you forgot your scarf! And she picked her green scarf up, put it back on her head and went. Never seen her again since.
Narrator: Jean's strange encounter with her dead mother in law, for all its extraordinary and eerie qualities, is a remarkably common experience. It's clear from the research records that many thousands of people from different cultures and different parts of the world have had something similar happen to them. They seem to happen most frequently between members of a family, or people who have a profound emotional connection with the dead person. And they're remembered with immense clarity – the time, the place, the details of dress and movement and so on. In paranormal circles they're described as 'crisis ghosts'.
Archie Roy, Professor of Astronomy: One of the interesting aspects of apparitions is the close relationship between the appearance of many apparitions and the fact that the person whose apparition appears was going through a crisis – either in fact in danger of death, or actually dying. And the first set of collections of these was the 1895 one by the Society for Psychical Research. And we're not talking about a set of anecdotes, we're talking about cases that were exhaustively researched. Obituaries looked up, witnesses interviewed, newspapers looked at, tombstones, the lot.
Narrator: Perhaps the single most extraordinary thing about these crisis ghosts is their profound realism. They seem to be so true to life in terms of dress and mannerisms, and characteristics and expression of the living personality – so real and solid in fact, that those that encounter them immediately respond to them in living terms. They engage them in conversation and so on, right up until the moment when the apparition is revealed for what it is, because it disappears or moves off through a wall.
Archie Roy: And usually you find that if there is more than one person present, then in a third of the cases, all of them see the apparition. It looks solid, it looks real, it may act out a very reasonable scenario so they will for example see the door open, and Uncle George comes in – and they're surprised, because the last they heard Uncle George was in Australia, and they're in London. And they'll say – George! How did you manage to get here so quickly?- and he'll smile, and on occasion you might get a word or two. And then, only then he will do something that a human being couldn't do, like disappear or walk through the walls. And then they begin to get scared. And then, sooner or later word comes that at that moment Uncle George was drowning off the Great Barrier Reef or something like that. Sadly, because of the two world wars, there have been many many cases like that, of a person being shot down in their plane at a time when the family thinks they see him, large as life, sometimes in uniform, sometimes in mufti, walking up the garden path. Oh, John has got unexpected leave, oh how wonderful! And they go to the door and open the door, he's not there, and then they begin to wonder. It's very very common.
Narrator: A pilot coming up the garden path long after his death. A story very similar to that occurred not tens of years ago but as recently as last October, to an airline pilot indeed, as he crossed the foyer of a large modern airport used daily by thousands of travellers [Glasgow International is shown]. He bumped into a colleague. He still finds it difficult to describe the profound emotional shock on learning that the colleague, with whom he chatted with for some time, had in fact died in a very sudden and unexpected way some time previously.
Captain Bob: On the way I slightly deviated from my route instead of going to the bus. And as I deviated, I saw this friend of mine, in the door, come into the airport. I stopped, turned round – he came straight across to talk to me. I put my bags down, spoke to him fairly briefly - What are you doing, you old bugger! – that sort of phrase. Now this is a guy that I've known for eight or nine years. We've both flown the routes to the Western Isles, up and down. We meet in the hotel, erm, et cetera, et cetera. We had a few words. I noted one or two things about him – I went to shake hands and he didn't respond, which seemed a bit odd, er, puzzled me a bit. He was very thin, he'd lost a lot of weight. Anyway, all of a sudden he said 'I've got to go' and I said 'fair enough', picked my bags up and legged it for the door to get the bus for the hotel. The following day I went into town, did a bit of shopping, and went to see a friend of mine in the pub where we normally meet. And he bought me a drink, said hello, how're you doing, what's going on… not a lot and all the usual rubbish you talk about. And he said – just a minute – and he went round the corner to the paper rack, picked up The Scotsman from the paper rack, and came straight back to me. Put it on the bar in front of me, saying 'You must know this man. You flew together, you were in the same airline.' And to my Absolute Astonishment – I was stunned. It was the obituary of this friend of mine I'd spoken to the day before. And I just couldn't believe it. Wasn't possible. It was not possible.
Archie Roy: The captain's case is a typical post-mortem apparition, with overtones of unfinished business. There is no doubt about it, we've investigated the case, we've talked to witnesses. And what is an important aspect to this is that it has made a tremendous difference in the attitude to life of the witness, the captain. Apart from that there is also almost the seemingly the indication that something to do with the man who died – who died incidentally after some short illness and unexpectedly – was trying to make his presence, his continued presence or existence still felt. And this is absolutely typical.
Captain Bob: Now. You can… think what you like. If I'm a nut then you can call me a nut! But I can assure you. As an ex-naval officer, fighter pilot, commercial pilot – I am not, er… what's the word… I don't make up these silly stories.
Narrator: That encounter has profoundly changed Bob's attitude to life and indeed to death. He has no doubts whatsoever that he met and chatted to his dead colleague. And that view underlines the powerful scientific relevance of these so-called crisis ghosts. They occur so frequently, and they are so verifiable in the sense that the dates of the death and the encounter can be clearly established. They pose a major challenge to scientific thinking. What is happening? What happens after death if this seems clear, some aspect, some dimension of the dead person is able to re-establish contact with the living [sic].
Archie Roy: There's so many cases that we have to accept that a fraction of people, when they are dying or in danger of dying, somehow contrive that their apparition appears as large as life.
Narrator: Crisis ghosts are one of the most widespread of paranormal experiences - these appearances of people just before or just after their death to a loved one or to a relative. In Asian cultures they are very readily accepted as a fact of life, so to speak. In the West, grounded as we are in so many centuries of scientific rationalism, they are regarded with the utmost scepticism. People who experience them are embarrassed to talk about them. Scientifically they scarcely appear above the horizon. There are very few theories that attempt to explain what is happening.
Archie Roy: There is a part of a human being that can operate outwith time and space, and by that I mean that human beings are not separated one from another as clearly as they seem to be. We have our bodies, we have our personal consciousnesses, we have our personal subconsciousnesses. But I go along with Jung for example, who said that the deeper he went into a person's psyche, the closer he came to a level where it couldn't be said to belong to that one person alone. And the analogy that one can use is that above the surface of the ocean the islands are separate. And below the surface of the ocean the islands are separate. But go deep enough and all the islands join on the bedrock of the ocean.
Narrator: If it is possible to generalise in this shadowy area, it seems that the contact is made with a particularly sensitive person at times when their minds are in a particularly relaxed and receptive state. That often occurs in and around the margins of sleep. It leads to a state that is known as lucid dreaming.
Pat: And in the dream I actually saw my father in a coffin, and he was in a funeral parlour, in this dream. And I remember going into this funeral parlour with my brother and sister, in the dream, and looking - my father's coffin was on like a wooden Charlie horse, you know the horses, the wooden horse, because it was a brand new funeral parlour. And in the dream he looked about two or three stone lighter than I'd remembered him. And his hair had turned snow white and he was in his coffin. And I remember asking the gentleman who owned the funeral parlour why his eyes weren't closed completely, because you could see part of the blue of his eyes. And they said that he'd been in so much pain before he'd died that they'd teared, and they couldn't close them properly. I also remember in this dream opening my bag and taking out a blue rosary beads and putting them on my father's hands, because my father had been Catholic. Now I had never put those rosary beads into my bag. The next day, when I woke up the next morning, I got a telegram to say my father had died. When I came back, came back to Britain for his funeral, everything happened as it had in that dream. To the extent that my ex-mother-in-law had actually put that rosary into my bag. And that rosary was blue, a pale blue rosary, and that was the same as the rosary in my dream. And it was exactly as my dream.
Archie Roy: Very often, in the lucid or very vivid dream, that makes such an impression on the person that he remembers it when he wakens up, he will see someone, he will be in contact with that person, that person will talk to them. That person will be anxious, that person might have died even months or years before, and may have died without the person knowing it, and that person will be trying to get information across, unfinished business. And when the person wakens up they remember the dream. They then perhaps in a number of cases, carry out the plea of the person in the dream, and subsequently find out that the information given in the dream, and which may not be in the minds of any living person, is correct. And leads to unfinished business being finished.
Pat: Well, when I was about fifteen years of age I was up in London, and I was modelling at that time. And I'd been doing a lot of photographic work in the morning for a photographer, and I went back to the hotel to take a rest before the afternoon shoot. And I fell asleep, and I had a really unusual type of sleep. It was as if I was awake, but yet I was asleep. And I saw my grandmother. And I saw that she was coming from the back of a field, towards me. And as she came towards me she'd started to turn. And as she turned she grew younger till she was about thirty years of age. And she said to me in this state, this dream state I was in, she said – Patricia, I'm all right. I want you to know I'm all right. Everything is fine, and that I love you. And I want you to go to my house and look, there's a certain drawer, there's a key hanging – and she told me where this key was hanging to open this drawer. And you'll find that I've left something for you. And she said, I want you to write my book, to write my story. It'll be a real success. Now her name was Maggie, and when I woke up in that room in the hotel, the room was just filled with her fragrance. And I knew that she'd passed on. I called my father on the phone and he said my mother had gone back to Ireland to bury her. And I called Mommy in Ireland and told her to get this key – and it was where she'd said in the dream – and she went to this little dresser. And she pulled this big envelope out with my name on it. And in it was quite a lot of details about this book she wanted me to write, and a picture of her mother.
Narrator: Many of these stories involve actual appearances of people who have died. But there are many more that involve the passing of a message of some sort. The voice is clearly recognised, the sound is quite clear, and the message is remembered in all its detail. This is the sad story of Teddy, close friend of Jane and Sheldon.
Jane: Well I came back from holiday, and we were totally exhausted because we'd been up for twenty four hours, and I came in the house and went straight to bed. About half an hour later I sat bolt upright in bed like this – and there was no thought in my head, I went straight downstairs and I said, 'Sheldon, you have to go and get Teddy, there is something wrong. You must go now, immediately.' And he got up and he went.
Sheldon: So I went over to Teddy's, and immediately I saw Teddy, he wasn't doing very well. And I said 'Enough of this nonsense, you're going to the hospital.' Now Teddy didn't have a phone, so there was no way of calling an ambulance. So I helped him down the stairs, and he actually lay down on the back seat. And I got in the car and I started to drive off, and I tried to drive as fast as I could. At one point along the journey, I turned around, and I saw Teddy look up to me, and I saw his eyes roll. His eyes roll into the top. And at that moment I was terribly frightened that Teddy had died.
Jane: I could hear all this sort of commotion outside. And it was a commotion, there was car noise, and I could hear Teddy saying "Sheldon, Sheldon, you've got to let me out of the car, let me out of the car, I've got to get out, you've got to stop." And I got up, you know, with hearing this whole commotion, went down to Lenny, because I wasn't dressed or anything. 'Lenny, Lenny, please go and help Teddy.'
Lenny: I was watching tv at the time, and my mum came in, and said 'Help Teddy get out of the car,' because she could hear him outside. Erm, I went outside to check if he was there, and there was no-one there, I couldn't see the car, I couldn't see my dad and I couldn't see Teddy. I looked around, I looked round the corner and there was no one there, so I came back inside and told my mum. And she said she could definitely hear voices, and she could definitely hear Teddy's voice in particular. And she said he needed help. And I said, you know, I said to her I thought she was crazy, basically! Because I couldn't hear a thing.
Jane: And I knew then that there was something – that Teddy must have died or something had happened, so I went back to bed. Just waiting for a call. When you know something like that's happened, it's just everything goes still, and it's just waiting to hear the news.
Sheldon: I sped as fast as I could. Ultimately I got to the emergency in the hospital and I rushed out of the car, through the doors, I ultimately found a nurse. The whole hospital team came running out to grab Teddy, and they took him into the hospital and I heard all sorts of electronic things going on. And then I was asked to wait in the waiting room. And I was about to make a phone call when a nurse came over to me and she said 'don't use that phone, you'd be more comfortable using this private phone in this room over here. ' Well, so, I did that and I telephoned Jane, and I said 'I think that Teddy's dead'. And Jane said 'I know.'
Jane: When these things happen you're there with the feeling, you can't start, you don't start analysing what is it or what does it mean or anything, you're just in the feeling, you're in that experience in that moment in time. I think afterwards, you know, when I got the phone call from Sheldon, and he was dead, there wasn't that [gasp], a feeling of terrible shock, because it was quite, you know, because you can't actually explain this to other people because they think you're a bit weird!
Narrator: The fact of crisis ghosts would seem to present science with a profound challenge. They are so widespread they can't simply be brushed aside as aberrations or a few misguided individuals. The manifestations or apparitions are described with such clarity and detail, and they have such realism that they do raise fundamental questions about the nature of death and dissolution. Is there part of the human being that survives its worldly death. Is there a need, as some scientists would put it, for a new science, a science of the mind?
Dr Peter Fenwick, Consultant Neuro-psychiatrist: Ghosts which appear to people who have just recently been bereaved or possibly to other members of the family when they're dying, I'd explain in two ways. Firstly, I'd take a normal scientific explanation: if you look at people who are recently bereaved, most of them have visions of the bereaved person. It's a common function of death. But that doesn't account for everything in the way of crisis apparitions. Because sometimes people know nothing about it, don't expect it, and an apparition occurs. I think you have to argue that there may be emotional links, and there's certainly some scientific evidence to suggest that emotional states in one brain may be transmitted across distance to another brain, where they can be measured. And that would be the sort of basis on which one would then explain crisis apparitions.
Archie Roy: I have to say that over the last hundred years there has been collected a vast amount of evidence on all sorts of aspects of psychic research which to anyone openminded, I would feel, makes it imperative to believe that a human being is not just the big animal that grew the big brain. That there are facets of the human being that can operate outside time and space, and perhaps mortality. The evidence is such that many psychical researchers would say that the question 'shall I survive death' is one that can be seriously contemplated by an intelligent person. And as for myself, I would say that if, when I die I find I have ceased to exist, I will be very much surprised.
