Whitechapel are inching closer to the release of their new album Our Endless War, and today they've released a new song entitled 'Mono'! This song is significantly faster than their first single 'The Saw Is The Law', and is by far more aggressive.
You can listen to the song now thanks to Alternative Press:
If you fetl 'The Saw Is The Law' was too slow, this track should be more your pace. Our Endless War comes out April 29th!

One of my all-time favorite performers is Lisa-Marie. We're talking love at first site here. BAM! and it was history.
Her picture was in a Double Trouble Productions mailing. There she was, this tall, statuesque, powerful looking woman. Holy schwing! Standing at 5'10" with what I consider to be close to the perfect body, I was smitten.
I simply could not wait and rushed to the friendly neighborhood wrestling fetish tape store. New York City actually has one of those; an off Broadway location called "Kinematics" that somehow survived Mayor Rudy G's broom. I got my hands on dt-219 and I've been a fan ever since.
As with Hollywood and Tanya Danielle, Lisa Marie has a special quality that my mind and body are hard-wired to react to. A synergy created between my mindset and many different things about her.
It would be safe to say that Lisa Marie is one of those women who totally embody my wrestling and superheroine fantasies. She's got the height. To me, there's a huge difference between 5' 8" and 5' 10" & above. I love 5' 8", don't get me wrong, but the really tall ones can drive me wild.
Adding to her height are her hips. I love them. Can't explain why, but I do. Same for her thighs. No idea why these kinds of thighs do it for me, but they really, really do. Her shoulders are beautifully broad. Her waist curves down nicely into her hips. Combined with large & beautiful breasts, she strikes a very powerful and heroic image. One of the things that come to mind is how Sybil Danning looked in the posters for "Warrior Queen."
Lisa Marie had several memorable moments working with DT Productions. One that comes to mind is DT-221, a 2 out of 3 fall tag-team that had Lisa Marie teaming up with Robin from Les Femmes Fatales against Mia Walters and Bobbi Brandt. Before getting into that, a brief digression is needed in order to try and illustrate the point made earlier about that something "extra." Bobbi Brandt is hot. She's beautiful, sexy and a good actress. She's also 5' 10" and I'm crazy about her, but it is still not the same as with Lisa Marie. Just an aside. Getting back to the match, it really progressed the way I like. Lisa Marie was so dominant and powerful. At one point during the second fall, she DESTROYED Mia and pinned her after knocking her out spread eagle on the mat. The way Lisa Marie stood over Mia's defeated body is just incredible. So powerful. So sexy. She had this look on her face like she really got off on beating Mia like that, and her body language backed that up big time. By the end of the third fall it was Lisa Marie being destroyed and ultimately knocked out by being kicked in the jaw by one of Bobbi's really long legs. The big, powerful, dominant and sexy Lisa Marie out like a light! (schwing!)
DT-232 is another Lisa-Marie gem. She gets pounded by sexy intruder Franchesca Le in this apartment style match and is ultimately KO'd and laid out on a table top.
In DT-231, Lisa Marie and Bobbi mixed it up in a one fall ring match. Both women got to give and take serious punishment. There was a segment lasting several minutes where it was all Bobbi, and Lisa Marie simply excelled at selling the losing end. One day, when I have the time, I am going to re-edit this tape and have Bobbi come out on top.
DT-404 was a custom match that I commissioned featuring Lisa Marie against Lisa Comshaw in a multi fall affair. For those who follow this blog, it is probably not too hard to figure out how the action went. Lisa Marie took the first two falls in a very, very convincing fashion. The tables get turned and she gets pounded on for several falls, before coming back and winning another one. The tables turn yet again and Lisa Marie suffers a tremendous upset. On the downside, I did not particularly care for Lisa Marie's bikini, footwear and hair that day, and as silly as it may sound, it took away from my enjoyment of an otherwise phenomenal match. On the upside, this match was shot one day before MasterGirl was shot, something that made the MG shoot all the better. Also, Lisa Comshaw, AKA Tori Sinclair, was simply sensational in this match. Even her bikini was perfect.
DT-413 had Lisa Marie and Bobbi going up against each other yet again in a Superheroine ring match loosely inspired by Amazonia, a superheroine Lisa Marie played in an earlier video, ironically written by me. In this match, two superheroines fight to see who is more powerful. Bobbi's character gets pounded on until she took advantage of Amazonia's secret weakness- she gets weak when her breasts are caressed. This video had tremendous potential, but it only came out so-so. Where it not for Lisa Marie, I probably would not have been overly thrilled about it. For Starters, Bobbi had put on a LOT of weight. Maybe 20 pounds and it was sad to see her totally hot body in this condition. Secondly, whoever commissioned the tape enjoyed stockings and I am a 1000% bare legs man. Finally, once again, I was not crazy about Lisa Marie's bikini. By this I mean that it did not compliment her awesome figure like some of her other ones. Still, just the one scene where she gets weak is worth the entire video to me. Sadly, dt-413 seems to be the last video she ever did with Double Trouble Productions.
Speaking of Amazonia, I had the pleasure of writing the script for this one and kind of received a screen credit for the first and only time. The thing is that they made the common mistake of writing "jonair" instead of "joniar." In any case, this is a Wonder Woman inspired video based loosely on the famous Fausta episode from the TV series. Amazonia is sprayed with a gas that disorients her, and then has her lasso used against her forcing her to reveal the source of her super powers, her belt. Here, however, it went one step further. While wrapped in the lasso of truth, she was forced to reveal that while losing her belt takes away her super powers, having her breasts fondled actually makes her weak. This was called "The Amazon Curse." Lisa Marie did a phenomenal job in an otherwise mediocre production. One major bummer is that at the time this video was filmed, about 9 years ago, people were still nervous about using an actual Wonder Woman costume on a video. Lisa Marie would have been simply stunning in a Wonder Woman costume.
Lisa Marie did some work for Robin at LesFemmesFatales.com & fightbabe.com, the highlight being the MasterGirl video discussed previously on this blog.
She also made several videos with California Supremes, including one against Shelly, The Burbank bomber. These are submission type matches that are not what I really look for in this genre, but each match has its classic moments. Many of her Cal Supreme matches were boxing and contained several classic moments. Given the opportunity, I would have scripted the boxing matches a little differently, but some of them presented some classic moments. The truth is that I haven't been able to figure out the extent to which the California Supreme videos are scripted and if anyone can fill me in on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
In one boxing match against Robin (AKA Susie Johnson), Lisa Marie suffered a bloody nose. That was real, and not really my cup of tea, or in this case, my plate of KIWI. On the other hand, Lisa Marie got knocked out late in the match and I had myself a classic moment! Another classic was during a match against Alyssa where Lisa Marie took a direct shot to the jaw and was knocked out.
Lisa Marie worked for a number of other companies doing primarily submission style wrestling.
The last I heard of her was when she was in LA at the time MasterGirl and DT-404 were shot. If memory serves me correctly, that would be somewhere around 1999-2000. She was there for a brief visit and returned to New Zealand. Since then I have no idea whatsoever about what's going on with her.
It's a real shame she didn't stick around longer. She is a true superstar and I would have loved to see her in many more videos. Nevertheless, her brief visits to Los Angeles have resulted in some of the greatest moments I have ever seen and to this day she never fails to excite me.
Any information about her recent activities will be greatly appreciated.

The formula's versatility also enables you to mix the corrector in with your foundation to eliminate the extra steps in your beauty ritual.
Write Your Review
I've been using the Luminess Air Products and machine for 3 days now and everyday I love it more and more!
These colors are perfect for fixing your foundation to your skin. I am a little too red so using the green in my foundation allows it to perfectly match my skin. Or I can put it on first on conceal all the extra red on my skin. I cannot use the odd numbered foundations as they have a yellow tone to them. With the amount of red in my skin they leave me looking sallow. And on some days I have too much red showing for the even numbers with their red tone. On those days I use the green Prism to correct my skin or to neutralize the red in the foundation. Perfect. Thanks Luminess Air for finally coming up with this product.
Love love the green color! Cuts the warmth right out of any of the foundation colors!!! I cannot wait to play with the others!

Well, I arrived home on Wednesday 14th May, after a 24 hour journey, which went very well. Incidentally for those who feel Australia is too far away, or conversely, Europe is too far away, it really is only ONE day of your life to get there. Just 24 hours. OK, it might be a little annoying to hang in the sky for 21 hours (with a 3 hour break in Singapore) but hey, in 1957 it took our family 6 weeks to travel from Holland to Sydney in a refurbished troop carrier without stabilizers. It included 14 days on the Indian Ocean between Capetown and Fremantle, a very frightening storm in the Great Australian Bight and lots of seasickness before we finally and safely docked in Sydney to begin our Australian life. But that's another story, maybe a story for another blog...
|The garden is growing like crazy!
|A typical Dutch evening meal of veggies and oh! meat. :-)
On Sunday afternoon we visited our friend Sita at Bruekelen once again. She cooked us a delicious typical Dutch meal of vegetables and meat. If you ask a Dutch person what they had for dinner, they will name a vegetable eg: we had (green) beans,whereas an Aussie will always name the cut of meat they had.
|With Sita at her home
|So much stuff to pack!
|Last coffees at Schiphol Airport
A final wave after going through customs and I was on my own to find my flight departure gate. The flight was slow to get off the ground and left about 45 minutes after scheduled because of the heavy airport traffic. The flight to Singapore went well.. I watched 3! movies! and they certainly keep you occupied by feeding you well! Singapore air staff are just wonderful and look after everyone with such patience and lovely smiles. After a three hour stopover in Singapore I was off to Brisbane at last.
We headed to Tonia's house for tea/coffee and lots of happy laughter, chatting and giving out my souvenirs. Happy and tired we headed off to finally be home and in my own bed!
|My beautiful family
It's a week on now and I'm still trying to get over my jet lag. Hope it goes away soon, because I'm really tired of falling asleep at inappropriate times of the day.
I'm back at work and driving my lovely special needs boys to and from school again. So all is just about back to normal routine.
And with that, I will put this blog to bed. For good.
It's been an amazingly wonderful journey.
It was a journey of many emotions, and some of these were:
- The first time I saw the Dutch flag flying high in the sky above Keukenhof gardens.
- The first strains of the St Matthew's Passion in a beautiful old Amsterdam church
- Walking through my home town
- When I heard the pipe organ played by my second cousin Klaas, especially for me, in my childhood church
- Meeting up with family members and old friends after many decades
- Travelling through the flat Dutch landscape with its many waterways, green meadows, church steeples, dairy cows, sheep, windmills and quaint houses
- Walking among the throng of celebrating thousands in Amsterdam on the first ever King's Birthday
- Coming back a second time to my hometown to attend morning church service. So special
- Standing in the building which was once my home. The place where I was born
- The kindness of everyone I met. It was overwhelming. Simpy wonderful
"I feel rather teary as I write this (I even had a little cry during the night) - after all, this quaint country was also once my home and I reckon my roots are actually pretty deep, deeper than I thought."
Will I return once more?
Only time will tell...
Hugs and love to all my readers.

The vote of no confidence in the President
In the National Assembly, the party Agang SA will at two o' clock introduce its motion of no confidence in President Jacob Zuma. The debate is going ahead despite a bid from Agang to go to court to delay it so that it can try and remove Baleka Mbete from the position of Speaker for the debate. The last few months have seen chaos in the National Assembly with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) caucus being forcibly removed from the chamber during the State of The Nation Address. President of Agang SA, Andries Tlouamma:
We did give a notice of a motion of no confidence, because we believe he is no longer fit to run the country. As you know, we now have load shedding, his name is tainted with scandal after scandal. This is a matter of principle and not a matter of majority. What we are asking MPs to do is to vote following their conscience. This is a matter of fighting for justice and the truth, accountability. Even if we might lose this, people need to see that we are not just in Parliament for nothing, but we are fighting for justice. If they (ANC MPs) use their conscience, they will not vote for their stomachs, but will vote for the truth.
EWN Parliament's Gaye Davis:
I think we are going to see the ANC come back to defend the President, including putting a counter-motion expressing their confidence in the President, because they are a majority. This should pretty much play itself out like it did last year with the Speaker, Baleka Mbete. I've heard Agang SA's Andries Tlouamma say they will ask the Speaker (Baleka Mbete) to recuse herself from proceedings and we don't know if this won't cause any disruptions here.
Cosatu CEC minus Vavi
In Joburg this lunchtime, we have Cosatu's Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting is still underway without its General secretary zwelinima Vavi – and seven other unions – who've decided to boycott the meeting after the expulsion of the metalworkers union, Numsa. Political Analyst, Professor Somadoda Fikeni:
It's not going to be easy when the 8 other affliates have joined the boycott, especially when the issue of unity talks was one that was on the table. They may decide to take action against him, or they may ask to have a split within Cosatu, but they can't go on to address issues around unity without outside help. You do have veteran unionists who were in the leadership of Cosatu - some of whom have taken strong positions in the current crisis, some of whom haven't - they could play a role here, because the lack of consistency in the ANC's intervention role is almost viewed as having been done in preparation for the elections.
[DEVELOPING] Cape fire update
Massive fires are still raging in some areas of Cape Town and are now near a part of the suburb of Tokai. EWN's Natalie Malgas:
From where I'm standing on an elevated position in Fishoek, there's still a haze here and Theo Layne of CPT Fire Services says that the head of the fire has been contained, but the fires are still raging on, with additional assistance brought in from the Eastern Cape, the Free State and the North West.
IEC electoral education during exits
Underway in Cape Town this week is a seminar being held by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) about how to make an environment conducive to voting. Vice-Chair of the IEC, Terry Tselane:
The integrity of the Electoral Commission plays an integral role in ensuring that elections are free and fair. (Despite top leadership exits amongst commissioners) we are still able to function because we are able to reach quorum, even after Former Commissioner (Raenette) Taljaard's leaving to attend to her academic career. Even when we are operating as three commissioners, we are able to function.
Shuttleworth wants the state to 'pay back his money'
In the Constitutional Court this lunchtime is billionaire Mark Shuttleworth who is arguing that the Reserve Bank and the Finance Ministry were wrong to charge him a 10% exit fee when he moved R1,5 billion out of the country in 2009. Executive Director of International Tax Services at Ernst & Young, Ide Louw:
It'll be very interesting to see what will happen in terms of the Constitutional Court. The tax against Mr Shuttleworth was incorrectly imposed, and there is now no exit levy any more. The crux of the matter here is, for those who would have exited SA up to now, what will the implications for them be?
Burger King seeks to conquer SA fast food market
Several reports this morning note that the company running the Burger King chain here wants to have around 200 over the next few years. CEO of Burger King SA, Jay Sinclair:
It's been 21 months that we've been operating and we are rolling out our stores as fast as we can, some of which are down to planning approvals and we're on track for our target in June. We chose to rollout out or larger-format drive-thru's, which do take a lot longer than going into shopping centres and in-line stores.
Gauteng's gridlocked future
A comment on Monday by Gauteng Transport MEC Ismail Vadi is that if people don't start using public transport, parts of the province's big cities will face total gridlock during peak hour traffic. Head of the University of Johannesburg's Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management, Professor Jackie Walters:
Yes, I do agree that we are not quite public transport users per say, if you look at cities in Europe and elsewhere, but we also should consider the working class population who make use of the Prasa platforms. If you look at the Sandton CBD, there's only the Gautrain that's operating there, yet there are people from all over the province who come and work in Sandton. The problem is also with working after hours, where there's a lack of transport there. It's not coordinated and government needs to take leadership on these matters.
Adoption the decline in SA
A report this morning is that the number of children being adopted by families has declined by around 51% over the last eleven years. Consultant at the National Adoption Coalition SA, Dee Blackie:
Unfortunately, what we have seen in this decline is one of our greatest frustrations. What this means for the child is that they often have no sense of identity, where they would get a sense of belonging to a particular family or identity. What we've found in SA is that it's become almost impossible to adopt children and even getting a sense of inheriting anything from parents. The legislation is fantastic in South Africa, but the problem lies in how we implement these laws.
Tensions rising - US, Iran, Israel
In the US, President Barack Obama says the deal his administration is currently trying to reach with the government of Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons programme would stop that country from getting atomic bombs for the next decade or more. This interview comes just before the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to speak to the US Congress. US Policy Expert and Associate Editor at the Daily Maverick, Brookes Spector:
It's either a pre-emptive strike or an extended family argument. There are separate but interlocking arguements including the US trying to reach a nuclear weapons deal with Iran by the end of March. There's Israeli-Iranian tussles as well in the middle of this. At the same time, we have Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahufighting it out ahead of the upcoming elections there. There's also fighting between the Republicans and the Democrats vis-a-vie the President in trying to assert some influence in diplomatic relations. The tension between Obama and Netanyahu is also evident, with many saying the two don't like each other much.
ICC 2015: The Proteas clobber the Irish
South Africa's national cricket team has won their game against Ireland today. Cricket commentator, Jeremy Fredericks:
Yes, it was expected, but South Africa have also done very well. Getting 402 in successive games, following each other was an amazing feat. (On the upcoming game against Pakistan) I just hope that from a South African perspective, we get a proper working over from Pakistan, to be stretched to the limit so we can be prepared for the Quarter Finals.

Had an issue, where i had a folder I had that was extracted from an archive, I wanted to rename the folder but Windows wouldn't let me.
I was getting errors from windows, saying that the folder no longer existed.
"The file or folder does not exist"
After trying a raft of things, I even moved the parent folder to another location, which windows happily let me do, I still couldn't rename the folder/s
When looking at the folders from the command prompt, it became there were some odd characters in the name that where no showing up in windows explorer, but in the command prompt they were appearing as white space.
In the end I managed to rename the folders using the command prompt and 8.3 filenames
"C:\ParentFolder\OddFolder Which Will Not Rename"
rename C:\ParentFolder\OddFo~1 C:\ParentFolder\Odd1

Friday September 21, during the annual cleaning of the bivouacs of Mont Blanc by the Alpine Guides of Courmayeur, we went up to our "Gervasutti" with Renzino Cosson and Francesco Civra Dano.
The logbook showed us a large number of guests also for this last season, proving that the bivouac is a very sought-after destination!
The bivouac is in excellent health and has now been cleaned up perfectly.
We also replaced the original mattresses with the new model realized for LEAPrus in Caucasus, much more comfortable and durable. Seeing is believing!
The second mission of LEAPteam on mount Elbrus was completed successfully. All technological devices of the alpine station have been completed and put into operation. The level of comfort and the services that welcome guests are truly remarkable, and allow the visitor to appreciate the beauty and intensity of the place and the incredible landscape around it. The caucasian adventure of LEAP comes to an important milestone. We are absolutely pleased. It was really challenging to achieve this ambitious goal. We want to thank all those who have contributed to this great success! At this time a special tribute goes to the team of technicians LEAPfactory who performed the installation: extraordinary people!

Signs you need to stop reading YA
If you've been scoffing at YA, dismissing it all as "Twilight Wannabes", you might want to check it out.
But most people who are reading this blog aren't on the YA-scoffing-bandwagon, and I think it might be important to note that there might be signs that you need to take a break from YA fiction.
And this is a totally serious list. I'm tired of being at book club or a mom's group and hearing people insult a whole category of books for reasons that are not the books' fault.
- You get annoyed when characters make impulsive decisions. You know what kind of decisions sixteen-year-olds make? Impulsive ones. Seriously. Think back to when you were fourteen or fifteen years old, and think of your favorite memories. Disgusting games in a diner? Chinese fire drills? Ditching history class? Drawing on your sneakers? Coloring your hair purple? Jack-in-the-Box trip in your pajamas? Now tell me how much planning and thought went into each of those moments.
- You're annoyed by insta-love. I know. I could probably put the word love in sarcastic air-quotes and call it insta-"love". Because you're right, an overwhelming majority of those teen couples won't last the year, much less a lifetime. But I had my first boyfriend at sixteen. From our first kiss til we broke up and stopped speaking to each other forever, the entire relationship lasted a little over four weeks. And yes. It felt like a real relationship. It was dramatic and generated a lot of gossip and I probably thought I was in love. So a teen character falling in "love" after only a few weeks of knowing someone... not so weird.
- You think the vocabulary is childish. Guess what? You have a Master's Degree in Psychology. The average target audience for these books? Yeah, they haven't taken their SATs yet. They don't know what "pedantic" or "erudite" or "antediluvian" means. This isn't an insult to teens, it's just a fact that most teens don't have a vocabulary to rival an adult with a postgraduate degree. If the "childish" language bugs you, the problem isn't with the words, I can pretty much guarantee that.
- You hate that the parents are always "missing". I'll admit: I want the parents/adults to be missing for a logical or plausible reason. But if the story is about a teen, then a teen needs to solve the problem in the story. She can't turn to her mom and get her mom to fix things.
- You think it's all derivative. If you've read LORD OF THE RINGS eight times, and the BELGARIAD twice as many, then you probably thought ERAGON was a rip off. But you know who hasn't yet read those 30-60 year old books? Teenagers. ERAGON introduced a whole new generation of kids to a genre that they might otherwise dismiss as "old" and "dull". You know why they keep remaking the movies you loved as a kid/teen? Because kids/teens today don't want to see old movies. They want to see new movies. And they want to read new books.
So, if you read DIVERGENT or TFioS or THE HUNGER GAMES and found yourself saying... well, all of these things, then maybe you're just not into YA. And that's okay. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
Here's what you're allowed to say when asked: "I didn't enjoy it. YA isn't really my thing."
Here's what you're not allowed to say: "It's so stupid. I don't understand why any sane person would read that junk. I mean, COME ON...<insert rant about the existence of a genre here>."
If people ask why you don't like YA, sure, you are welcome to talk about all the reasons it's not your bag. But please recognize that those reasons are your reasons. I don't read romance, just as a general rule. There are a dozen reasons why, and none of them make the genre "bad" - they just make it "not the genre for me".
So, hey, don't go bagging on a whole section of the bookstore just because it's not your thing. After all, you wouldn't insult every Italian restaurant in the country just because you don't enjoy tomatoes, would you?

YES to most of this. Although when it comes to insta-love, I don't have a problem with it if the characters are saying "I love you" after a matter of weeks. Because TEENAGERS. But there are an increasing number of books - and it's not just YA that's guilty of it - where the storyline takes place over the course of somewhere between three days and a week. The love interest usually doesn't turn up until the afternoon of the first day (or the second day if it's over the course of a week), and yet by the end they're I-love-you-ing all over the place. When it's adult books, they're getting engaged. And I'm just like "...............dude. No." and "You love him? Okay, what's his surname?". So...yeah.ReplyDelete
What drives me nuts is people that have read one YA book and judge every YA book on that one. The genre isn't for everyone but there are some quality YA books out thereReplyDelete
Yes. This post. You're right (and so is Melbourne on my Mind): because teenagers! It's super easy, as an adult, to forget that incredible haze of hormones and omgsofast-ness feeling of life. I love YA Lit. So, so hard. Great post!ReplyDelete
- Samantha SaboviecApril 18, 2014 at 6:50 AM
YA definitely isn't my thing, either. I prefer adult scenarios, characters, and dilemmas now that I'm not a teenager. I get mildly annoyed by YA as a genre simply because it seems like everyone writes it and that perplexes me. I feel like I have to look harder to find Adult books, which may or may not be true. And I'm confused by non-writer friends who seem to love YA. But that's my own hang-up!ReplyDelete

Hello Everyone!
The lovely Georgia has come on the blog today to share with you some Crown of Midnight, Celaena and Chaol fanfiction! That means if you haven't read the Throne of Glass series... proceed at your own risk... hehehe! Those of you that have, enjoy!
"Celaena," Chaol begins to say, I keep my back to him- my arms folded. I hear him come closer towards me, the floorboards creaking as he makes his way over to the bed. Chaol sighs as he sits down but I still refuse to make any movement of reply towards him. "Please hear me out." I feel a hand rest gently on my shoulder and I move to shake it off. "I know that she died and I know that you blame me. I wasn't involed in Nehemia's death, I liked her-"
"Chaol, would you shut up?" I finally say, interrupting him. I turn my head and stare at him in the eyes. "Dorian explained it to me, you were too concerned about me and we were involved. He doesn't think that you were able to plan anything. I don't think you planned anything. But you still had no right in locking me up like some common criminal!" My voice raises a little as I finish my sentence. Chaol gets up and sits next to me, placing a hand on my knee. I make no move to get him to stop touching me. "That, I cannot forgive you for."
"Celaena, I'm sorry..." He pauses. "But you attacked me! You needed to learn a lesson on not to attack your boyfriend. It's stupid." Shock rages through me like a wildfire and then anger. I stand up, quickly and I turn to face him.
"How dare you! My best friend, the only person who I actually liked as a friend, was murdered and I was grieving! You can't expect me not be angry! I cannot believe you!" I scream, slapping Chaol in the face and leaving him a red handprint in the face. I turn away from Chaol, tears burning in my eyes. How could he? How could he say that after all we had been through? "Celaena!" Chaol puts on his stern voice, not the kind one that I had finally gotten used to. "you are the common criminal, you're an assassin! A murderer! For all I know, you could've set up a plan to have Nehemia killed and this could all be an act!"
"F*ck you." I say, I step over to the ornate wooden door and open it. "Get the hell out of my room, and don't even bother talking to me again!" Chaol runs a hand through his hair and stays on my bed.
"No," Heartbeats go by. "Not until you hear me out!" I throw the door shut, the slam leaving the room in a stunned silence. Chaol gets up and strolls over to me.
"You have three minutes. Go." Tears burn in my eyes, but I can't let them show...Not yet.
"Celaena, I love you. I would do nothing that would ever hurt you physically or emotionally. So don't ever think that I did this! I will help you find whoever killed Nehemia but you need to forgive me! I'm sorry that I locked you up! But please, this pain is killing me." He cups my face and I melt inside, but my face stays hard and stern. He leans inwards and kisses me on the mouth. I kiss him back. I think about the things I have done since we broke up. I burnt everything that he touched. A moan leaves my mouth but Chaol doesn't move away. One tear leaves my right eye and all of my hate towards him increases. Was he kissing me because he loved me or because he wants me to forgive him? I perfer the first but I go for the latter. Perhaps I should forgive Chaol for everything he has done.
Should I?
Would I?

Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. I remember this rhyme from my childhood. I don't know its origins, but as a black child born during the mid-1960s, I wonder if it was used to shield marginalized people from the taunts and stings of racism. Nice as it sounds, the Book of Wisdom, Proverbs, has something very different to say about the impact of words. Proverbs 15:4 says "A deceitful tongue crushes the spirit."
The "N" word is contemptuous, signifies black inferiority and rejection and was inflicted upon blacks. It seems that some non blacks didn't get the memo on this. It seems also that some blacks, nowadays have reclaimed and embraced the "N" word, dropping the 'er' and adding an 'a.' Doing this, somehow, changes its meaning from one of utmost disrespect to one of utmost regard? "Brother" reclaimed as "Brotha" and "Sister" reclaimed as "Sistah" are still terms of endearment. To this end, dropping the 'er' from the "N" word and replacing it with an 'a' does not change its meaning.
The "N" word, no matter who utters it, no matter the reasons one utters it, is still synonymous with contempt and disrespect!

We have been working with James on Deep Breathing and Relaxation. I avoided this as long as possible, as I was pretty much in denial that we were walking down this attachment road again. I kept telling myself it was JUST ADHD, not attachment issues. I feel like I just climbed over a huge mountain dealing with these same things with Matthew and we were finally down the mountain walking on flat land. Just as you think the journey is getting easy another mountain comes into view. There is a lot of mental preparation you have to go through to make another journey over the mountain. You cant turn around cause you've got a mountain behind you, so your only option is to go over. Ive been living the last few months on the flat land of the mountain trying to avoid the climb. At some point you know you have to climb that mountain to ever get on with your journey. I guess you could say Ive accepted it at this point and am gearing up for the next few years of teaching basic social skills and family values. Given that I've already done (am doing) this with Matthew I have a lot of tools and no what to expect. However I'm always looking for new strategies! I found this great blog with tons of ideas. My favorite was the relaxation books. I made one and have been working with the boys on practicing these skills.
This totally inspired me to finally put together our "Calm Down Corner"! Im almost finished and will share pics with you soon :)

Lilly is back home in Cornwall- her high-flying job has disappeared and she finds herself back where it all started- at Brides by the Sea. Jess and her team are thrilled to have her back and have big plans for Lilly's future- which would be great if only Lilly planned on staying put for longer than the summer.
Lilly is struggling enough with life- but add in a newly engaged nightmare of a mother, her new role as wedding stylist that puts her slap-bang in the middle of the wedding wars between two local venues as well as between one of her best friends and her most challenging client- and it's confetti at dawn.
This might be book three in the series, but it works perfectly as a stand-alone story, and having enjoyed it so much, I'll definitely be delving back into the first two instalments of the series.
Jane Linfoot's writing is laugh-out-loud funny, and she places her characters into some brilliantly impossible positions. Oozing romance and possibility, this book is a must-read for any wedding-addict's summer suitcase.
Grab your copy here:
Kindle: Paperback:
The Blurb:When the owner of Brides by the Sea, Cornwall's cutest little wedding shop, offers Lily a job as their new wedding stylist, her first thought is – can she possibly pull it off?
Before she's even sourced a fairy light or tasted a cupcake, Kip Penryn hires her services – but he's opened an exclusive wedding venue in direct competition to her friend Poppy!
Lily feels like a traitor working for Kip, only everyone knows Penryn men are gorgeous but unreliable. All she has to do is sit back and watch him mess it up…doesn't she?
Love is in the Cornish sea breeze this summer as the girls tackle their busiest wedding season yet. There's plenty of bunting, bubbly and baking – but who is going to catch the bouquet?

The Meerkat theme is set up on a fluid 12 column grid with gutters, and is 1140px wide at full size.
The header contains:
- a link to the main college website
- the site's 4 primary navigation links, marked by the primary palette colors
- a Williams-wide search box
- 3 utility links (Quick Links, Campus Map, Events)
- the site's title – by default this is a purple box, but a logo can be used instead (296px wide by 172px tall)
- a banner image (1140px by 240px)
Content area
The content area spans 9 or 12 of the grid columns (sidebars can be turned off) and has a wide variety of formatting options depending on what content is used.
The sidebar is 26% of the width of the design (296px on a large screen). It aligns with the search box/utility links/site title block in the header and the wordmark block in the footer. It contains supplemental navigation, and various widgets picked out by the site administrator. The sidebar can be hidden on a per-page basis.
The footer contains contact information and social media links that can be customized per site. It also contains static links to pages on the main college site, as well as the college wordmark, and WordPress login link. The footer stretches to 100% of the screen's width, unlike the rest of the Meerkat design. The dark grey block behind the wordmark should always line up with the sidebar.

Thank you for all your replies so far!
The good news is, because of your replies we've been able to identify a clear pattern in the crash data and a number of possible causes. The bad news is, some of those causes may be unique to specific PlayStation 3 hardware revisions, but hardware model numbers aren't recorded in the crash logs.
So to all of you who have reported crash times, I would like to ask you for one more favor: could you post your PlayStation 3 hardware model number in this thread? The model number consists of the last 7-9 characters of the PS3's serial number, which can be found on the back of the device. Each model number starts with CECH, followed by 3-5 letters and numbers (e.g CECHA01, CECH2101A, etc). This will let help us determine where we need to concentrate our efforts.
Thanks in advance,

Hope this helps.

Curcumin, also known as turmeric extract and curry extract, is a constituent of the turmeric spice but is also found in smaller amounts in other food sources like ginger. It takes a bold, bright yellow hue, which is why it's also used in cosmetics and food coloring. Curcumin is a polyphenol, which is a micronutrient with health-promoting properties. Our extract is standardized to 95% curcuminoids.
Curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body and requires the help of an enhancement, otherwise the nootropic supplement is essentially going to waste. One way to ensure better absorption is to take Curcumin with black pepper extract (piperine). Curcumin is a fat-soluble nutrient which means it can be taken with a fat source for better nutrient absorption. Fish oil is a great way to enhance the antioxidant effect of Curcumin Powder.
As a dietary supplement, take 500mg of Curcumin 95% Extract once daily.
Curcumin Extract may have synergistic effects when paired with a Green Tea Extract.
Research on Curcumin suggests that it can benefit us in many ways. Curcumin Powder increases antioxidant enzymes in the body and can decrease inflammation, general pain and oxidation. Research and anecdotal evidence show that Curcumin may be a powerful aid for cellular and cardiovascular health as well as joint health.
Product contains one 30g or 60g jar of Curcumin powder (95% curcuminoids)
You may also like Longvida Curcumin Powder.

Very potent, i take it daily to avoid inflammation. Be warned, it stains EVERYTHING. Tiffany Yager on 6th Oct 2018
Cap this with piperidine 4mg? And lechin? (Do research, spelling is wrong)
Bioavaiblity is very, very low for this stuff.
Oh and messing with this bulk is a pain... It stains everything. I have to be sterile to avoid yellow fingers for the next three days. And throwing away my socks.
I will give you so much money if you do this.

Non-stop assembly and testing
This is the slogan used by Crailsheim-based Elabo GmbH to present the TaMas universal assembly workstation system at this year's Motek. The company will be presenting an assembly station featuring built-in functional and safety test systems that feature assembly and test cubicles equipped with integrated conveyor modules for transferring components.
The TaMas system is built up around hand assembly stations that are available in either single or multiple workstation versions and which can be effortlessly expanded in any direction thanks to the Elabo Open Space concept. The work surface above the EM-X-11 beam is infinitely adjustable from sitting to standing height and is optionally available with an electric motor. All accessories, including shelf units, swivel arms and fixtures, can be infinitely adjusted in height at the Inform-System column by means of quick-release fastening mechanisms. In designing the optimum workstation layout, the TaMas system adheres to strictly ergonomic principles. The materials receptacles and shelves with double and triple-jointed hinged brackets help you to quickly adapt the workstation layout to your individual physiological needs.
To accommodate the functional and safety tests necessary in particular in the electrical assembly segment, a special module was developed for TaMas to house safety and test equipment from the Elabo test systems product segment. This means that the customer has at his disposal a complete assembly line including functional and safety test equipment combined in a single system and all from a single source.
To mount the subassemblies, Elabo uses wheel- or castor-mounted workpiece support systems that make it possible to transfer each subassembly between individual assembly and test stations easily without having to lift them. Past experience has shown that productivity gains of up to 30 per cent can be expected after introducing this component-transportation system.
TaMo, the mobile component mounting system will also be presented for the first time at this year's Motek. Using the modular system, the flexible supply of components at the assembly workstation using receptacles that comply with European standards and prehensile pans will be demonstrated.

Folks, I have a shocking confession to make: I am considering buying a pair of Ugg boots for winter. Yes, I know we've talked about this before. I know most of you think "Ugg" is short for "ugly", and there was a time when I would have agreed with you, wholeheartedly.
Like I've said before, though, the world of fashion is fickle, and I think repeated exposure to Uggs has taken the edge of their ugliness and made me start to quite like them. (No, Britney, that doesn't mean that repeated exposure to your ass will make it acceptable) . Sort of like what happened with me and skinny jeans, really.
Anyway, I know most of you will want to send me straight to fashion jail for this misdemeanor, but those of you don't might be interested to know that these sheepskin boots by Emu are down to £48 in the ASOS sale. They're "As worn by Paris Hilton", so that must make them OK, no? No? Hey, where'd everyone go?

Why have we invested in solar? It's simple: our two young daughters. Looking ahead, we were worried about what life will be like for our daughters.
That's why we're the proud owners of a solar system on our dairy, and two on the farmhouse – plus battery storage.
Already, we're seeing increasing erosion on our farm, winds scooping out precious top soil from between paddock plants. In response, we've changed what we grow to feed our dairy herd: deeper rooting plants and species that thrive in warmer soils.
We've also altered the diet of our cows – more fresh feed on the ground, less preserved, which saves diesel, plastic, wastage, time and methane.
We recycle, both on farm and at home. Even though recycling plastic silage wrap means buying special collection bags and paying a tip fee. Even though recycling household waste means driving to town to deposit it in a friend's bin every fortnight.
Then there's solar. With batteries, free energy from the sun is available to us after dark, when we're home making dinner, or watching an episode of The Voice.
Not only does the energy we generate reduce our own costs, it also helps reduce daily peaks in the grid, which makes the whole system more efficient and secure.
It reduces Australia's reliance on polluting, coal-fired power, which is something that we must do if we are to protect our children's future.
There are those who question the power of individuals to change the world. Yet lots of families, like ours, are doing their part.
Add it all up and there's a movement of real change. Every little bit counts, whether it's changing your vote, how you live or deciding to invest in your own solar system.

- How does lens size affect distance and field of view?
A smaller lens value will show a shorter viewing distance and a wide field of view. A larger lens value will allow for a longer viewing distance but a narrower field of view.
- What is the F Stop?
In photography, stops are also a unit used to quantify ratios of light or exposure, with one stop meaning a factor of two, or one-half. The one-stop unit is also known as the EV (exposure value) unit. On a camera, the f-number is usually adjusted in discrete steps, known as f-stops. Each "stop" is marked with its corresponding f-number, and represents a halving of the light intensity from the previous stop.
- What is BLC "BackLight Compensation"?
Many cameras included a BLC circuit. This circuit is used to help correct an image with more light behind the subject being viewed. Without backlight compensation, the subject appears dark with little detail. Using backlight compensation will reduce the brightness of the light to allow the subject to appear brighter and bring out the details.

Heme Iron Vs. Nonheme Iron: What's the Difference?
Not all iron is created equally, and if you have an iron imbalance, you should carefully consider which iron is best for your health. Your body recognizes the difference between heme and nonheme iron sources and will absorb each type differently. These types are easy to identify in your daily diet. Heme iron comes from animals, and nonheme iron comes from plants. Here is everything else you need to know about the differences between heme and nonheme iron and how each can affect your health.
What Is Heme Iron?
Heme iron is the type of iron found in blood and muscle. Present in animal foods like red meats, fish, and poultry, heme iron is a significant source of the absorbed iron in a typical western diet, though it only makes up about one-third of dietary iron.[1] Heme iron gets its name from the heme protein attached to a lone iron atom. The "heme" in the blood protein hemoglobin refers to this protein-bound form of iron.

Benjamin's has become the go-to cookie for anyone who loves a delicious treat!

The following was excerpted from Thrifty Foods, We Pick BC First – Benjamin's Bites:
- Debbie discovered her son, Benjamin, had multiple food allergies so she started making him his own cookies.
- Benjamin's Bites contain no gluten, eggs, soy, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds or sulphites.
- She doesn't have a background in baking, but her mom is an amazing cook, so it came naturally (there was more than one dessert at their house at all times).
- Her cookies were a huge hit at playgroups, so she decided to sell them. She's now in her third year of business.
- At the moment, Debbie is a one-woman show but hopes to grow the company in the future!
- When Debbie picks Benjamin up from school, she usually has a little cookie for him in her pocket!
- Benjamin prefers to eat his cookies a little cool, but still enjoys them hot out of the oven as well.
- The best compliment she has received is "Oh my goodness, they taste normal". Her goal was to create an allergen-free cookie that tastes like the ones her mom used to make.
- Debbie's first job was a childhood educator – for almost 26 years!
- She was born and raised in Victoria, BC.
- If she could take a visitor to BC anywhere, she'd take them somewhere that shows off Victoria's greenery, like Beacon Hill or Goldstream Park.
- She's a vegetarian but eats fish once in a while (she is from the coast after all!)
- As well as baking, Debbie loves to cook. Benjamin's favourite is the Chickpea Daal she makes.
- After a hard day at work, she likes to hang out with her family – go for walks, to the library, or swimming!
- Beyond enjoying her allergy-friendly cookies as a treat, try them in these Thrifty Foods Recipes!

The booming era of big data and analytics is pushing the organization to take the leap to data-driven decision making. The advent of disruptive technology have created quite a stir in the marketplace; the veracity is that most Human Resources organisations fall well short of grasping these capabilities.
The groundwork needed to understand the organisation's system and data, develop credibility with stakeholders and resolve data quality issues – all take time. Then there are challenges of developing or finding the right skill sets, creating practical tools for line managers and integrating data.
Let's take a look at few essentials help you to recognise the maturity of organisation's analytics function. Including the features required to lead the HR analytics in future.
What factors identify maturity of an organisation's analytics function?
According to the Deloitte Research report, a few factors are shortlisted to define the characteristics of mature HR analytics team.
1. Effective Dashboard
The HR technology today is far more sophisticated than it was five years back. Easy API integrations, user-friendly interface and customisation dashboard, enable stakeholders to have quick access to the information they demand. It also empowers analytics staff to spend more time providing recommendations and insights on business challenges. Now, organisations learned how to develop self-service customisation dashboards for HR leaders and business.
2. Data Quality
Accurate data is critical to gaining credibility with stakeholders. The HR analytics function will experience a severe setback if they do not believe the data or find errors. Therefore, mature analytics team invested time in ensuring their data is up to date and of high quality.
3. Ability to tell the story
One of the major drawbacks of analytics team is their incompetence to "tell the story" behind data. A skilled HR analytics team will always go beyond number crunching so the business leaders can quickly grasp the implications. Therefore, it is imperative for these teams to have personnel with strong HR, business, and consulting skills.
Advancing your HR Analytics Initiatives
Bringing state of the art technology onboard is worthless if it is not accompanied by right skill sets and meaningful interpretation.
In a rush to deliver big data, business leaders should also contemplate how they can provide better data to their managers to enable faster synthesis of key insights and a higher level of utilisation. Therefore, your HR analytics must be:
- Transformative
- Compelling
- Valid
- Relevant
The progressive move is essential to organisations when it comes to HR and talent analytics initiatives. Adopting the right cloud-based HR technology is capable of delivering everything you need to shape future outcomes, 360 degrees business insights and accelerate business agility. Key features include:
A. In-Context Analytics
Instant insight access to key challenges and strategically influence workforce management initiatives.
B. Talent Management Analytics
Learn profound insights on employee potential, performance, alignment to skill requirements and succession.
C. Recruiting Analytics
Comprehend which recruiting geographies and sources deliver top talent and who stay longer with the organization. It is an excellent way to control the attrition rate.
D. Predictive and Advanced Analytics
A good story telling is only possible when HR analytics system is competent enough to deliver comparative, historical and predictive views. It further enables to provide snapshots in data enrichment, time and event interpretation.
It is critical for organisations to choose their HR tech intelligently that can deliver an integrated set of tools for a complete continuum of HR requirements including, talent management, big data discovery, global workforce planning, learning management and more.
Also, today organisations are in a position to opt from cloud-based Human Capital Management Solutions, widely popular hybrid approach or on-premises solutions.

The battle against the Ghoul in Divergence Eve has resonated through time and space, leaving Earth in a state of temporal flux that separates it from the rest of the universe. Suspecting that the AWOL Misaki might be the cause of the problems, Lyar and her team must travel into Earth's past and try to set things right.
Despite being filled with fanservice and ridiculous breast sizes, the first season of Divergence Eve proved to be an enjoyable sci-fi story; as always, however, there remained the lurking fear that the second season would not live up to what had come before. Fortunately, although different from its predecessor, Misaki Chronicles proves to be well worth watching.
With all the background in place from the first series, Misaki Chronicles is able to focus more on the characters, exploring the doubts, fears and difficulties of trying to correct time and space itself. The technobabble is still very much in evidence, of course (as are the impossible bosoms), but now we have the chance to look not only into Misaki's past, but to flesh out supporting characters such as Lyar, all the while tying up loose ends from the first series as best as possible. It can get a little confusing at times- especially if it's been a while since you saw the first season- but overall it's another dose of solid science-fiction.
Visually, Misaki Chronicles is much the same as the first series, with attractive female characters and unfortunately ugly CG vehicles. With several of the episodes now set in various periods of Earth's history, the ambience of the series has changed a bit, with the enclosed, technological feel of Watcher's Nest less prevalent than before.
Final Thoughts
Although somewhat different in tone to the first season, Misaki Chronicles is a worthy follow-up to the original Divergence Eve. If you like your sci-fi, there is no reason not to give this one a chance.

LONDON (Reuters) - Veteran Australian entertainer Rolf Harris told a jury on Tuesday there had been sexual chemistry between him and a woman who has accused him of sexually abusing her as a child.
Harris, 84, who is accused of abusing the woman for her entire teenage life, said she flirted with him and invited his sexual advances when staying at his home in southern England.
"It seemed to me that she was being very flirtatious with me," he said. "As you can imagine it was a very flattering thing for this young lady to suddenly be showing an interest in me.
"I can remember my heart was thumping away," he said from the witness stand at Southwark Crown Court as he gave evidence for the first time in his indecent assault trial, now in its fourth week.
A mainstay of family entertainment for more than 50 years, Harris is charged with 12 counts of indecent assault against four girls, some as young as seven or eight at the time of the offence, between 1968 and 1986.
He denies all the charges.
Harris is the biggest name to go on trial since British police launched a major investigation after revelations that the late BBC TV host Jimmy Savile was a prolific child sex abuser, leading to the arrest of more than a dozen ageing celebrities.
The court has previously heard that he first assaulted the woman when she got out of the shower aged 13. He then repeatedly abused her until she was 28 years old, the jury of six men and six women was told.
Describing another incident at his home, Harris said: "She seemed very very flirtatious and coquettish - looking at me with some sort of sexual chemistry."
Sonia Woodley, defending, asked: "Would you have touched her ... if you had thought she didn't want you to?"
"No. It seemed to be an invitation," he replied.
Wearing a dark, pinstriped suit, pink shirt and purple tie, Harris told the jury he found it hard to discuss his affair.
"It's highly embarrassing ... I was a married man and I shouldn't have been doing it," he said as his wife Alwen watched on and his agent blew a kiss from the public gallery.
The entertainer, known to millions in Britain and Australia for his work as a television presenter and a string of pop hits, earlier told the jury a series of rambling anecdotes detailing his rise to stardom and even sang a snatch of his famous comedy song "Jake the Peg".
He demonstrated the sounds of a didgeridoo and mimed out his invention of the wobble-board, an instrument he made famous in the 1960s.
Asked whether he had ever hugged the woman as a young girl or made comments about her appearance, he said: "Yes I have. I'm a very touchy-feely sort of person.
"My policy in life has always been to compliment people if they look good. I've been told to stop doing it because people in this day and age quite often take offence."
The trial continues.

The new BMW M3 CS.
Building on a fine heritage of lightweight, high performance sports saloons, the new special edition BMW M3 CS is the perfect combination of high performance, dynamic performance and everyday usability. Thanks to the generous use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) and a subsequent low kerb weight, a more sporting suspension set-up, increased power and torque and a unique interior style the BMW CS is a car worthy of the 'CS' moniker.
Power for the latest special vehicle to come out of BMW M GmbH is from a six-cylinder in-line engine – a configuration of which has a long tradition at BMW – and one that ensures the absolute best performance in the new BMW M3 CS. Compared to the M3 with Competition Package, the maximum power has been increased by 10hp.
The maximum torque of 600Nm is about 10 per cent higher (M3 with Competition Package: 550Nm) and is available from 4,000rpm to 5,380rpm. The outstanding power output gives the BMW M3 CS performance on a par with supercars, with the sprint from zero to 62mph taking just 3.9 seconds. Thanks to the M Drivers Package, the maximum speed is limited to 174mph.
|Power (hp)
|Torque (Nm)
|0 – 62mph (Seconds)
|Top Speed (mph)
|Combined (mpg)
|CO2 Emissions (g/km)
The 3.0-litre unit uses M TwinPower Turbo technology, with two spontaneously responsive mono-scroll turbochargers. Together with the High Precision Injection (HPI) petrol injection system, the VALVETRONIC variable valve control system and the double-VANOS stepless camshaft adjustment help to deliver optimum performance.
Exclusive equipment
The discreet yet sporty interior uses exclusive bi-colour Silverstone/Black leather and Alcantara. The lightweight M sports seats, which are sculpted to offer figure-hugging comfort are shared with the M3 with Competition Package. The seats guarantee perfect lateral support even when driving fast on the racetrack, but also offer very good long-distance comfort. BMW M stripes are incorporated in the front seat belts and seats.The rear seats also feature an exclusive, two-tone Merino leather in the same colour combination.
The most desirable accessory for the driver of the new M3 CS is the optional M Performance Alcantara steering wheel. It is covered in exclusive, anthracite-coloured Alcantara and has a silver '12 o'clock' marking and offers maximum grip in all track driving situations.
The handbrake lever gaiter is Alcantara with grey contrasting stitching, while an exclusive red start/stop button adds to the sense of occasion. The interior trim features Alcantara, with a unique CS model designation. There are also special door sills featuring the M3 CS logo.
Despite the consistently sporty design and weight savings, the new BMW M3 CS does not have to do without amenities such as climate control, while the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System ensures maximum listening pleasure. The BMW Icon Adaptive LED Headlights and BMW Navigation System Professional complete the extensive standard equipment package.
The BMW M3 CS is on sale from January 2017 with first orders arriving in March 2017. Prices start from £86,380 OTR.

Where ongoing support is needed many services are provided to help the children and youth in those families remain in their homes. Together with the family the worker will develop goals, connect with other professionals and community members involved in the family's life, and will work with the family either on a voluntary basis or with a court order.
When children and youth are not able to safely live with their own families, F&CS will arrange for them to be cared for by another family relatives, friends, and/or foster families.
We don't know all the causes of child abuse and neglect. We do know that parenting is a big responsibility that at times, when combined with other life stresses, can become too much.
Successful Child Protection is:
- Safe Children – It is our responsibility to keep children safe when their families are unable to.
- Supportive Relationships – We build respectful relationships with families, children, and community partners.
- Strong Advocacy – We advocate effectively so that families and children get the help they need.
- Involved Families – Families are experts about themselves. They must be involved in planning for their children.
- Planning for Permanency – Children need a lifelong commitment from adults so they can feel secure about who they are and who loves them.
- Supportive Communities – Community comes in all shapes and sizes. Being surrounded by a strong, healthy community helps families take care of their children.
- Respect and Honour – People are not treated equally in our society. We are committed to working in ways that lessen the impact of oppression. Our legal power to keep children safe can be very intimidating. We must use our child protection power in ways that respect families and children.
