State completes inspections of 43 Detroit funeral homes

DETROIT (AP) — State regulators have found no serious mortuary science or pre-paid funeral violations following inspections of 43 funeral homes in Detroit.

Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory Affairs office said the completed inspections followed the discoveries last month in Detroit of the remains of 63 fetuses at the Perry Funeral Home and the mummified remains of 10 fetuses and a full-term infant at the closed Cantrell Funeral Home.

Both funeral homes are being investigated by police.

The state said 10 of the 43 inspections were completed within the past 15 months, while 33 were done over the last two weeks. Inspectors did find lesser violations that included non-renewal of medical waste permits and improper posting of licenses.

Michigan has more than 700 funeral homes.

Pancake stop snags inmate who fled jail with help from mom

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) — An inmate fled a Georgia jail with the help of his mom and then went out for pancakes.

News outlets report 27-year-old Joshua Gullatt and 54-year-old Kathy Lynn Pence were arrested Tuesday at an IHOP restaurant where they met with his children.

Gullatt had slipped out a side door of the Heard County jail hours earlier. Investigators then listened to a phone call Gullatt made to Pence about the escape.

It just so happened that during that same phone call, authorities said, Pence was pulled over for running a stop sign, so officers identified her car, and tracked her phone to the Newnan IHOP.

Gullatt had been slated for work release. Now he’s charged with felony escape and his mother is charged with aiding and abetting.

Police capture ‘unruly’ and ‘uncooperative’ runaway pig

PALMYRA, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police say they helped corral a rather “unruly” pig on the run along Interstate 95.

State police say in a Facebook post they were alerted to the “uncooperative” pig along the interstate in Palmyra on Wednesday.

Police say the pig was spotted several times over the past week, but had managed to elude capture.

Authorities say Cpt. Rick Moody and Trooper Jeremy Caron moved the pig off the highway with the help of a town animal control officer.

When asked if police read the pig its Miranda rights, police jokingly responded “he waived the right to remain silent.”

No injuries were reported.

Fishing Feast

Fisking Feast

In the 16th century the importance of Plymouth grew and accordingly so did its population. It then soon became apparent that the existing water supply was insufficient for the demands placed upon it. So in 1559/60 a Mr Forsland of Bovey Tracy was commissioned by the Plymouth Corporation to carry out survey with a view to bringing a supply of fresh water to the town. For some reason this survey never took place until 1576 when Robert Lampen lead a team of surveyors in search of a route for a leat. Thus having found that the River Meavy and it’s watershed would provide the water source a Water Bill was submitted to Parliament in 1584. The Bill gave permission to:

digge and myne a cliche or trenche contayninge in breathe betwene sixe or seaven foote over in all places throughe and over all the lands and grounds lyeing betwene the said towne of Plymouth and anye part of the said ryver of Mewe als said Meyve and to digge, myne and breake, baulk, cast upp all and al mener of rockes, stones, gravel and sandes and all other lets in anye place or groundes for the conveyance or necessaire conveyenge of the same ryver to the said towne…

This was handed on to a committee who amongst its members held Sir Francis Drake. The bill received Royal Assent on the 29th of March 1584 and work began in 1589. The main contractor for the scheme was Sir Francis Drake, and who says corruption is a recent invention. The course of the leat was about 7 feet wide and 18½ miles long, it ran from the River Meavy to Sutton Pool and was officially opened on the 24th of April 1591. The whole project cost Drake £300 which included building costs and compensation to local landowners. A team of local tin miners was used to cut the leat because of their undoubted engineering skills in leat building. It was said that on the opening day Sir Francis Drake, mounted on his white horse, rode escort to the waters as they flowed down the new leat to Plymouth. This leat became known as ‘Drakes Leat’ and provided water to the Plymouth area for over 300 years.

Fisking Feast

Drake the ‘Leat Builder’ of Plymouth

Sometime after Drake brought the water to Plymouth it was decided to celebrate the fact by holding an annual ‘Fyshinge Feaste’. The actual ceremony consisted of the Mayor of Plymouth and his council going to the head weir of the leat where official toasts would be given. The first involved filling a goblet with water taken from the leat and then each person present would partake of the goblet and toast “to the pious memory of Sir Francis Drake.” Another goblet is then filled with red wine, this is then handed to the Lord Mayor by the City Treasurer and Chamberlain. The Lord Mayor then makes a toast saying, “May the descendants of him who brought us water never want wine,” the goblet is then passed around the assembly. There are inscriptions on both goblets, the first one reads, “The Guift of Sir John Gayer Alderman of London Ano Domini 1648.” The second reads, “The Gyft of John Whyt of London Haberdasher to the Mayor of Plymouth and his Brethren forever to drink crosse one to ye other at their feastes or meetinges who died 5th June 1585.” Following this the whole party retire to the Lodge lawn where a luncheon is served, latterly in a marquee. Whilst the luncheon is being served men go out and catch a large number of trout from the leat. After lunch the party then inspect the leat and its banks until they end up at a convenient inn where a sumptuous dinner is served consisting of the trout caught earlier in the day.

Fisking Feast

Fishing for the trout dinner.

In 1633 Bartholomew Nicholls visited Plymouth and remarks about the “Mayor’s Annual Survey of the Water Works,” this was possibly the forerunner of the ‘Fyshinge Feast,’ The ‘Fyshinge Feaste’ has been held every June since its inception with the exception of a few years, the year of the ‘Foot and Mouth’ being one. Originally this was a free feast but as with everything today one has to purchase tickets. This ceremony is said to be one of the oldest in Britain and has changed very little over the 400 years. Today the luncheon consists of local trout, salads, strawberries and cream. The location however has changed as in 1898 the upper portion of the leat disappeared under the Burrator Reservoir.

Fisking Feast

The ‘Fyshinge Feaste’ at Head Weir – 1890

One other legend that is attached to Drake’s Leat is that in 1660 the waters were drained out and replaced with wine which flowed for 2 days. The purpose behind this was to celebrate the restoration of the monarchy and what a way to mark the occasion!

Who with fresh streams refreshed this town that first,

Though kist with waters yet did pine with thirst.

Written on a 1594 picture of Sir Francis Drake

Firm Overview

The attorneys and staff of the Life & Estate Planning Law Center, PLLC work to competently and professionally meet clients' needs to face life’s challenges and opportunities.  The Law Offices of Peter T. Straub served clients in this location from 1976 through 2009, and Peter was the inspiration for our client centered approach.

From young couples with minor children to retirees planning for the future, we focus on pragmatic solutions and educating our clients so they can make informed decisions.

Why "Life Planning"?

Most people understand the concept of "estate planning" in connection with documents created to pass assets to their heirs or beneficiaries. But solid, competent estate planning includes so much more – we call it "life planning."  Whether you are graduating from college, starting your first job, getting married, having a baby, dealing with illness, divorce or other major issues, your life plan needs to change and grow with you.  Of course, wills and trusts are important parts of the puzzle, but caring for our loved ones while we and they are alive is vital to the quality of the life we want to live.

Our mission, simply, is to help our clients through the transitions in life and to plan for whatever may come in the future.  We are proud of our client centered approach to meeting individual client needs.  We make certain that you completely understand the complicated tax, financial and legal terminology and concepts through explanations in plain English and with illustrations where helpful. We are sensitive to the cultural, ethnic and life style differences among clients in our cosmopolitan area. We welcome your questions, and will work with you to implement plans that meet your needs, and the needs of your family and loved ones.

A castrato (Italian, plural: castrati) is a man with a singing voice equivalent to that of a soprano, mezzo-soprano, or contralto. The voice is produced by castration of the singer before puberty, or it occurs in one who, because of an endocrinological condition, never reaches sexual maturity.

Castration before puberty (or in its early stages) prevents a boy's larynx from being transformed by the normal physiological events of puberty. As a result, the vocal range of prepubescence (shared by both sexes) is largely retained, and the voice develops into adulthood in a unique way. Prepubescent castration for this purpose diminished greatly in the late 18th century and was made illegal in Italy in 1870.

As the castrato's body grew, his lack of testosterone meant that his epiphyses (bone-joints) did not harden in the normal manner. Thus the limbs of the castrati often grew unusually long, as did the bones of their ribs. This, combined with intensive training, gave them unrivalled lung-power and breath capacity. Operating through small, child-sized vocal cords, their voices were also extraordinarily flexible, and quite different from the equivalent adult female voice. Their vocal range was higher than that of the uncastrated adult male (see soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, sopranist, countertenor and contralto). Listening to the only surviving recordings of a castrato (see below), one can hear that the lower part of the voice sounds like a "super-high" tenor, with a more falsetto-like upper register above that.

Castrati were rarely referred to as such: in the 18th century, the euphemism musico (pl musici) was much more generally used, although it usually carried derogatory implications; another synonym was evirato (literally meaning "emasculated"). Eunuch is a more general term, since historically many eunuchs were castrated after puberty, castration thus having no effect on their voices.

John Legend Just Kicked Beyonce Out

I just got John Legend's Evolver as a gift and, to be honest, was not all that excited about it. But when I popped that sucker into my music player it was done. There are seven reasons why you should cop Evolver: tracks 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13 and bonus track 14. I wish I had time for long reviews like a used to do because I would break it down for you. Just trust when I say that Evolver is hot. Now the other tracks are good too. There is only one song that I could totally do without and that is the third track, 'It's Over' f/ Kanye West. I skip over that one every time and the intro of course.

I was rocking that Beyonce, I Am Sasha Fierce, for a minute but it kept ticking me off with 3 songs on one disk and 3 on a second one (I'm exaggerating a bit but it might as well have been that way). Now, I'm hooked on John Legend for a while.

Llangefni Town enjoyed a comfortable afternoon with a convincing 3-0 win over strugglers Llandudno Junction, in their first Welsh Alliance league match since 5 of January.

The visitors took the lead early on, Kev Lloyd to Gari Owen down the right, his first time cross to Craig Roberts to head in the opener.

On 20 minutes, Liam Morris made it 2-0 smashing the ball in to the roof of the net, from a Dan Thomas cross following a corner.

Alan Mark Owen completed a comfortable afternoon for the Town,  his header finding the back of the net from a Mathew Jones cross, following good work through the middle by Stephen Jones.

The result leaves Llangefni third, 6 points behind leaders Albion with 7 games in hand.

Next up is Barmouth & Dyffryn at home in the league.  On Saturday 2:30 kickoff.

17th February 2019

Llangefni Town will face Llandudno Albion in the Semi Final of the Mawddach Cup following a 1-0 hard fought quarter final win over Barmouth and Dyffryn.

Llangefni enjoyed plenty of possession in the first half, but failed to take advantage with forwards Mathew Jones, Harry Galeotti and Liam Morris missing a host of chances.

Early in the second half Cefni squandered another chance to open the scoring, Kehoe’s ball through to Sean Pritchard who’s cross to the far post was met by Morris to miss-cue his shot from 10 yards out.

The only goal of the match came after 58 minutes, a break down the left by Liam Morris, his cross into the 6 yard box for Mathew Jones to get the final touch from 3 yards out.

Barmouth came really close to getting back on level terms on 75 minutes, hitting the crossbar with a Bobby Griffiths header from a corner.  The visitors continued to press for the equaliser, but Cefni held on firm to book their place in their second Semi Final of the season.

Next Saturday we are back to league action away to Llandudno Junction. 2:30 kickoff.

9th February 2019

Llangefni Town have been knocked out of the FAW Trophy at the quarter final stage, following a 1-0 loss against local rivals Bodedern Athletic.  Chances were limited throughout the match, with both sides putting in strong defensive performances.

Although Llangefni Town enjoyed plenty of possession during the first half, they struggled to create any goal scoring opportunities. The first real chance of the match came early in the second half, Hayden Clarke cross to Steven Whittaker, his header going inches over bar for the visitors. Moments later Marvin Pritchard clipped the inside of the post for Cefni with a shot from a narrow angle.

It was looking like the match was going into extra time, but on 89 minutes Cefni lost the ball in possession, Bodedern attacked down the left, an inch perfect cross by Whittaker to the oncoming Ryan Taylor to volley in the winner.

Cup action ‘again’ next week, Mawddach cup this time at home against Barmouth & Dyffryn.

Start Praying Now

The simplest step of prayer is the most neglected one. That one single step is to start to pray. Planning to pray might not work. Finding the right moment to pray might delay the first step by years. The best thing is to pray now. But if you find it difficult you need to ask whether it is laziness, unforgiveness or sin that is preventing you from praying. If it is not any of these it might be the lack of desire to pray.

The desire to pray is born out of the desire to have a more intimate communion with God. Yet it is found that this desire is not so strong in the hearts of a majority of Christians. They might have been kept from praying because of wrong ideas about prayer. So it is best to start praying by asking God to give you a desire to pray. It was when this desire was ignited in their minds that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray.

Once you get started, it is all a continuous learning process. The Holy Spirit will Himself guide you in your prayer (Ref. Romans 8:26,27). Isn’t it a precious thought that God Himself is helping us to pray to Him!

Maybe the most important thing to remember is that Jesus taught the disciples that they should always pray and not give up. So you need to persevere in praying. It is not enough to have begun to pray. The need is to continue it in prosperous times as well as in difficult times. The watchword is “never give up” your efforts to pray. Definitely there will come a lot of distractions and oppositions to prayer because Satan opposes prayer. That is why Jesus asked his disciples to: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak” (Matthew 26:41 & Mark 14:38 NIV). So to keep yourself from falling into temptation it is absolutely necessary to pray. So start to pray now and never give up. Then you’ll enjoy God’s favor, power and presence in your life!

Painting again!

I'm killing multiple birds with one stone with this one.

First, I'm scratching my painting itch. It's also a chance to try out my new 'sewing onto painted canvas' trick again on a bigger scale (it's 80cm by 40cm).

Secondly, I'm trying out one of the Gallipoli images I'm thinking of using in the quilts for the AQC. This image is of a couples' reunion at an Anzac Buffet in the Domain after the war. I love it because of the look on her face and also because she is dressed like she has spent the 2 weeks before he came home perfecting her outfit, which is just what I do when James comes home.

The third 'bird' I'm killing is that I would love to submit something for the Gallipoli art prize which closes in March! Don't know if it will make the cut but I might as well give it a shot.

Happy to take opinions :)

She was a member of girl group Atomic Kitten from 1998 until her first departure in 2001 and again from 2012 until her second departure in 2017. Her television work is predominantly in light entertainment and reality shows.

Katona was the winner of the third series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, making her the first queen of the jungle, and runner-up of Celebrity Big Brother 8 in 2011. On 21 November 2012, Katona confirmed she had rejoined Atomic Kitten, replacing Jenny Frost.[2]

Early life[edit]

Katona was born in Warrington, Cheshire. Katona's maternal grandfather is Hungarian who fled Budapest to Britain during the Second World War.[3] As a child she was placed in care and brought up by four sets of foster parents and attended eight different schools.[4] She left school at sixteen to become a lap dancer, then joined a dance troupe that toured Europe.[5]

In 1999, 18-year-old Katona rose to fame as a member of Atomic Kitten, an all-female pop trio created by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark frontman Andy McCluskey. The other original members were Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon. Their debut single, "Right Now", was released in late November 1999 and reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart. Their second single, "See Ya", followed in March 2000 and was an even bigger success, reaching #6.[6] Following this initial success, Atomic Kitten performed an Asian tour and scored their first #1 hit there with "Cradle". The album, Right Now, was first released in Japan on 16 March 2000, and subsequently released in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2000 following the release of two further singles, "I Want Your Love" and "Follow Me", with a slightly modified track list. In 2000, the group also recorded a cover version of "The Locomotion" for the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

Right Now was unsuccessful upon its first release, peaking at only #39 in the UK album chart.[6] Initially, there were no plans to focus on the global market and Atomic Kitten's record label, Innocent Records, was even considering dropping them because of their limited success. However, the record company were persuaded to allow the group to release one more single from the album.[7] That single, "Whole Again", became their first #1 hit in the United Kingdom and stayed at the top for 4 consecutive weeks.[6] Due to this success, "Whole Again" was released globally and reached #1 in 18 other countries, including 6 weeks in Germany and New Zealand.[8] The song and video for "Whole Again" originally featured Kerry Katona but she left the group several days before the single's release because she was pregnant.[9] Former Precious singer Jenny Frost replaced Katona in the lineup and the single was re-recorded.

After marrying Brian McFadden and taking his surname, Katona moved into television work, appearing on and presenting a mix of light-entertainment programmes such as Britain's Sexiest..., Loose Women, and elimiDATE. She appeared on Lily Savage's Blankety Blank in 2001.[10] In February 2004, she won the third series of the British reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. That July, she and McFadden appeared as judges on the RTÉ talent show You're a Star, which was used to select the Republic of Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest entry. On separating from McFadden in September 2004 she reverted to her maiden name.

In July 2005 Katona starred in My Fair Kerry on ITV, where she was taught airs and graces to transform herself from ladette to lady. She also starred in an Irish drama called Showbands that year.[11]

Between 2007 and 2009, Katona was the subject of three MTV reality shows: Kerry Katona: Crazy in Love, Kerry Katona: Whole Again, and Kerry Katona: What's the Problem? From a peak audience of 500,000 for Kerry Katona: Crazy in Love, viewership for Kerry Katona: What's the Problem?, a series about Katona's bipolar disorder, slumped to just 19,000 and MTV dropped her in August 2009.

In late 2009, Katona attempted to become a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother 2010 but was rejected by the show's executives after she failed the required psychological tests.[12]

Katona's latest reality show Kerry Coming Clean aired on 24 June 2010. Katona was a contestant on Dancing on Ice Series 6 with English ice skater Daniel Whiston. They were eliminated in week 5 in a skate-off against Jeff Brazier and partner Isabelle Gauthier.

Katona was the first housemate to enter the Big Brother House for the 2011 series of Celebrity Big Brother alongside Amy Childs and Tara Reid and others. She was voted the runner-up in the final after Paddy Doherty on 8 September 2011.

In March 2012, Hamilton confirmed that the group were reuniting for a summer tour, including a performance at Diamond Jubilee Concert. Hamilton also stated that the group were in talks to star in their own reality TV show regarding the comeback, following on the success of the 2011 Steps reunion and reality show.[13] Hamilton stated that she hoped former member, Kerry Katona, who quit the trio in 2001 before they found chart success, would join them on stage for a performance. The reunion was later dismissed by all three members due to the fight between Katona and Frost. In June 2012 Katona performed at Birmingham's Gay Pride singing some of her Atomic Kitten hits including Whole Again and Right Now. It was the first time in over 11 years that Katona performed.

However, it was announced on 18 October that the original members of Atomic Kitten would reunite for an ITV2 series along with other pop groups of their era, including B*Witched, Five, Liberty X and 911.[14][15]

In 2019, Katona appeared in the sixth series of E4 reality series Celebs Go Dating.[16]

Other projects[edit]

Formerly represented by publicist Max Clifford, with whom she parted by mutual agreement in October 2008,[17] Katona has had endorsement deals with Iceland and Asda supermarkets. On 17 August 2009, Iceland released Katona from her £290,000 contract. The company stated that it was "impossible" to continue featuring Katona in its advertising campaigns after photographs appeared in the News of the World tabloid, allegedly showing her taking cocaine in the bathroom of her home.[18]

Katona has released an autobiography, Kerry Katona: Too Much, Too Young; a self-help book, Survive the Worst and Aim for the Best: How to Get Your Life Back on Track; and three novels, Tough Love, The Footballer's Wife, and Glamour Girl. All of her books have been ghostwritten. Until 2008, she wrote a regular column for OK! Magazine. Then again until December 2012. On 11 May 2016 Katona rejoined the panel of Loose Women since leaving the series in 2004.

In January 2013 Katona has had an endorsement deal with CashLady [19] promoting short term loans. The relationship was ended in July 2013.

Katona is a patron of The Shannon Bradshaw Trust,[20] a Warrington-based charity which helps children with life-threatening conditions and their families.

In March 2016 Katona launched an online bingo site called Bingo With Kerry. In May 2016 the site won 'New Site of the Year' at the WhichBingo Awards [21] and 'Best casino site' at the New Casino Sites Awards[22] in 2017.

Personal life[edit]

Katona has five children from three marriages. She has two children with former Westlife star Brian McFadden. On 5 January 2002, the couple married at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathfeigh, County Meath, Republic of Ireland.[23] The couple honeymooned in Mauritius. McFadden filed for divorce from Katona in September 2004 and was separated for two years, until their divorce was finalised in December 2006.[citation needed]

On 14 February 2007 Katona married taxi driver Mark Croft in a private ceremony in Gretna Green.[24] Six days later, on 20 February 2007, the couple's daughter was born.[25] She gave birth to a baby in 2008.[26] They announced a breakup in 2009[27][28] but reconciled, then divorced in 2011.

Legal issues[edit]

On 15 July 2007, Katona, Croft, and their young daughter Heidi were held hostage at their £1.5 million home in Wilmslow, Cheshire. They reported that three men forcibly entered their home, one of them holding Katona at knife-point while the others forced Croft to show them where valuables were kept.[29] Nobody was physically harmed, but the men left with a blue BMW and other valuables with an estimated total value between £100,000 and £150,000.[30][31] On 19 July 2007, police found the undamaged car 10 miles (16 km) away on Reeves Road in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester. That same day, Katona was admitted to the Priory Hospital[32] suffering from bipolar disorder. Her publicist, Max Clifford, claimed she had suffered from the disorder for some time, but the trauma had aggravated her symptoms.

On 21 August 2008, Katona was declared bankrupt at the High Court in London after failing to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.[33][34] After losing her Iceland contract, her magazine column, and her MTV shows, Katona suffered further financial setbacks. In December 2009, she received a repossession order on her £1.5 million home, having not paid her mortgage in months.[35]

On 2 July 2013, Katona filed for bankruptcy at County Court in Wigan.[36]

Turning 18 in Liechtenstein

Photo: Pd / Liechtensteiner Vaterland /
Alright ladies and gentlemen, get your binoculars ready as for today's post there is some spotting ability required... Although we are not 100% sure ourselves, we do think that it is quite likely that you can see Prince Wenzel, oldest son of Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie, in the last row in the picture above. (Yes, I know that his full name is Joseph Wenzel but he has simply been refered to as Wenzel by the media since he was about three years old.)

Like some other German-speaking countries, Liechtenstein has the tradition of Jungbürgerfeiern, which literally translates to young citizens celebration and means that all the people turning 18 during a year are invited for a get-together with their local politicians. While it seems to be a more formal thing in Austria and Switzerland, it seems to be a more fun-filled occasion in the Principality. Together with the mayor of Vaduz, those inhabitants of Vaduz turning 18 this year, which includes Prince Wenzel, were invited to a drink at the town hall, bowling, dinner at a Italian restaurant and a rock concert -- not to shabby, eh!?

  1. It was about time she was added.

  2. i can't really tell which guy he is from the picture, can you be more specific or do you have any larger picture? Thank you for the post, keep up the good work =]

  3. Thanks!

    No, it's the only picture there is. We believe he is the guy in the last row, third from the right. Behind the guy in the white shirt.

Wow! Finally a break from the heat wave. The last couple of days we've had temps in the lower 90's with virtually no humidity. We've all been on melt down around here. Main street has been a ghost town, even the restaurants were slow. I'm not sure how long it's suppose to last, we haven't hit mid July yet, August and parts of September can sometimes be just as brutal.

Packing up a shop full of merchandise is a daunting task, for a small shop there is a LOT of merchandise here. I spent all of Friday afternoon, the whole weekend and part of Monday getting it packed and labeled. I wanted to pack like things together so when I unpack it will be like getting in new shipments of merchandise. My hands, fingers and neck are so sore I can't even tell you. Mr. Arthur, his cousin Itis and any other family member related to the Itis brothers is rearing it's ugly head. Work must go on, so lots of Bayer and a long soak at night helps.

I've noticed over the last couple of days I've lost some followers, I'm sorry to see you go. I apologize for not having the time to get around to return visits let alone put together a post. Life is more hectic than normal right now. With all of this going on in the shop Mr. P has struggled with trying to keep up and follow each time I try to share with him what's happening in the shop. It's a rough time for him. I know he would give anything in the world to be able to help, he just can't. Bless his heart he just nods, smiles and says yeah right...

This week they took out the damage furniture and art pieces to be repaired. The base of the antique kitchen cabinet, the black piece that sits at the end of the day bed in the office. As well as the antique potty, a picture my Grandmother left us, and my Betty's table. The picture in front was a birthday gift from my Aunt Patty many many years ago.
Servpro has been wonderful through out this whole process. They've been so accommodating and caring about my things as well as my feelings. It shouldn't be too much longer and things should get back to semi-normal around here. The carpet and flooring for the powder room has been chosen, the pods and movers scheduled. I have a couple of things I'm working on so in a couple of weeks or so I should be up and running in new surroundings. Yippee Skippy!!
I still walk the dogs each evening, not over plush green grass as you can see, but over crunchy brown cracked ground. Our area is in a terrible drought. The farmers up north are already cutting what little corn they have. I'm not sure how the Crepe Myrtle bush is staying so green and lush, I couldn't pass up taking a shot of the one lone bloom.

Words cannot express how much I appreciate all the emails and those of you that take the time to stop by for a visit. I apologize for not getting back to you in a timely fashion, at the end of the day I'm totally and mentally just too worn out. I'll share the updates of the shop after it's completed. It's time to get things back on track
and post fun, bright and happy things, not a room full of packed boxes or damaged furniture.
hugs ~lynne ~

Lynn, are they going to be able to repair the damaged furniture?
I know how hard packing up things can be...its not like when we were 20! Hopefully, the worst is behind you.

Bunny Jean said...

Hi Lynne!

Don't worry... we all sometimes struggle with keeping up with our blogs.

We all lose followers too. Sometimes it is just because they have deleted their blog.

Just take care of yourself, family and the shop. We will be here for you :)

xoxo Bunny Jean

You have a lot to deal with. My count goes up and down, but figure in my case, I guess some get bored with me. :-D
We finally got some rain, so hoping my plants will perk up a bit.
Enjoy your weekend.

Judy Ann Lincicum said...

So happy for you, Lynne, that things are starting to calm down and make some sense in the midst of all this calamity! Isn't it amazing that it always does? I always love your posts so I will always come back for more! Love and prayers are with you and Mr. P

Linda (Nina's Nest) said...

My goodness. So sorry about the damage you have in the shop! I gain & lose followers, too. For me, too, it's really a struggle getting a post especially these days. Oh, well, c'est la vie! Linda

Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...

Thank you Pat, I know you would if you could. Things are slowly falling into place. Stay cool over your way.
hugs ~lynne~

Julie said...

You are going through so many losses...followers, the damage at the shop, and your life partner. Not that Mr. P has passed but he is no longer the man you married. The tragedy of Alzheimer's is that we, the caregivers, are continually losing the person we remember so well. I hope that you are able to get some rest and that you will have time to renew your strength after this time of challenges.

It is believed that malocclusion is prevalent in as many as 81 percent of children who display speech problems. It can also affect their sleep by causing a form of sleep apnea.

Many researchers believe it is caused by ill fitting pacifiers and bottle nipples in infancy. It may also be caused by thumb sucking and a forward tongue posture when swallowing. Although orthodontists are divided on the actual cause, they all agree that it can have devastating effects on the child’s health and appearance, and tooth position.

The condition can also affect how the mouth is shaped resulting in the need for orthopedic correction, and in severe cases surgery and braces later in life. It can affect how the child chews their food and how they swallow. This can lead to forms of malnourishment and cause the child to lose interest in eating.

Further it can affect their nasal airways and how they pronounce certain words. Although it is prevalent in childhood, it can go on and affect adults as well if they are not treated for the condition in childhood.

Furthermore, it can affect the elderly. Elderly patients who are lacking in proper dental care may also have forms of the condition, especially if they are overweight.

Left untreated it can lead to many dental issues including oral cavities and other neurological issues which may not be noticeable at first, but over the course of time may cause great distress. It may become difficult to brush the teeth and lead to other medical conditions which can greatly affect the quality of life.

There are many treatments for the condition including bimaxillary advancement surgery to improve airway size by moving the tongue back into the proper position, but in mild conditions, we sometimes can achieve a stable improvement with minimally invasive strategies as seen in this case (fig 1and 2 before and after)

When patients can’t breathe properly through the nose they are forced to open the mouth and breathe through the mouth while sleeping.

It is important to remember that any malformation may also lead to the need for some serious orthodontic work early, even when baby teeth are still present. The severity of the condition can vary greatly between patients and each case will need to be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Another side effect from the condition is chronic middle ear infections along with sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. Sleep disturbances can lead to a lower immune system and lack of sleep which can in turn cause the patient to fall asleep or be in an altered sleep state at many points during the day. This can be very dangerous for anyone who is operating machinery or driving.

When people breathe through their mouth due to such conditions it can also reduce oxygen which can lead to other medical conditions. Snoring malocclusion tongue posture can be a very dangerous condition and it is important that parents have any child evaluated if they suspect their child may be suffering from any medical condition.

Why Are You Reading Madison Beer Review?

Today is December 24. Don't you have anything better to do? Shopping, for example?

For those of you who celebrate such things, Merry Christmas. For others who celebrate other things, enjoy your Chinese dinner. For everyone else, enjoy the days off of work. If you work in the service industry and have to work tomorrow, sorry about your luck.

For the next week or two, really until after the New Year we are going to be on auto-pilot. That doesn't mean we won't have content, because we will - in fact, we're going to have some really good content. But, if we aren't the most timely, please excuse us.

On Friday we'll run a brief piece about the first event of the New Year that is rapidly turning into a pretty badass release party. Then all next week we will look back on 2008, with a review of some of the silliness that has gone on here on the site. We'll also hand out some awards for 2008. Finally, we'll take a look at things to look forward to in 2009.

You won't want to miss it!

Catch ya on the flip side.

ps. do people even say that anymore?

History of the MWT

After forty years, our work continues unabated

It all began with a letter to the Isle of Man Examiner in 1970, when Felicity Cain and Elizabeth Hamm wrote a rousing letter calling on island residents to do something in recognition of European Conservation Year.

Wildflowers on Tynwald FieldA meeting led to the formation of the Manx Nature Conservation Trust in March 1973.

The first nature reserves were acquired a short time later, Barnell Reservoir in 1974 and Cooildarry in 1976.

The 1980s

The Ayres Visitor Centre was soon established and the Scarlett Visitor Centre opened in 1986. Nowadays they attract more than 2,500 each summer.

Another four reserves were taken on in the latter half of the 1980s.

A shop, with adjoining office office, opened in Tynwald Mills in 1992, the floor space of the shop was eventually doubled in 2000.

Coughs. Andree DubbeldamThe 1990s

The 1990s saw a large expansion in the number of reserves owned by the Trust, ten were either purchased or donated during the decade. The Trust also got involved in a number of important ecological reports including, in 1995, the Manx Hill-land Report.

Turn of the century

The staff team expanded at the turn of the century, employing a Marine Officer and a Education Officer.

2001 saw the formation of the Wildflowers of Man project, with the aim of protecting and promoting native Manx wildflowers.

An Education Officer was appointed in 2002 to work with schools and children's groups.

A change of name

Thirty years after it was established, the MNCT became known as the Manx Wildlife Trust.

With the dissolution of the Manx Basking Shark Society in 2006, the Trust established the Manx Basking Shark Watch project.

A basking shark. FHAAlso that year, the Wildlife Site project was established with the aim of identifying sites of significant nature conservation interest.

In 2000 the Trust provided a warden service for the Ayres National Nature Reserve, it was followed in 2006 with the management of two wardens on the Calf of Man, for the government and Manx National Heritage respectively. The latter contract continues to this day, in parternship with Manx Birdlife.

A new home

2011 saw the Trust moved to its current home, in the heart of Peel. Offices sit above an information centre and the Wildlife Shop, whose profits help fund the Trust's work.

The same year saw the acquisition of the Trust's twenty-first nature reserve, a 25 acres site in West Baldwin.

Forty years on

Forty years after it was first established, the Trust's work continues unabated. The plight of our native wildlife and the importance of nature conservation has never been higher, we're pleased to see that public awareness of the problems faced by the natural world have never been higher either.

It is sometimes very much true that you guys don’t know how to cheer up a girl.  If you have troubles with communicating with your girlfriend, or your wife, maybe you should try to cheer her up by saying something which might please her.

Everyone likes to be complimented.  But remember, in order to compliment someone successfully, you should not to just utter the words, but really mean it.

Here are ten sentences, which will certainly help you cheer up any girl or woman, whether they are your friend, your girlfriend, or your significant other.

  1. Have you lost weight?

Sometimes just by appreciating that today have lost a pound or two, might help a woman to feel better about herself.  Also, if she hasn’t lost weight she will be just as flattered to hear these words coming from you.

  1. Your hair looks lovely today!

Celebrity-Hair-Makeup-Looks-April-2015The man never seemed to notice when women change hairstyles.  By complementing her hair, not only that you are sending her a message that her hair is beautiful, but also you were showing that you care for her and pay attention to her.

  1. You look radiant!

Here is a compliment which you can use in numerous situations, and which can help you cheer up any female person.

  1. I think you’ve done a great job.

great-job-www.imagedunia.com3_Male or female, sometimes we are all insecure.  Furthermore, try not to compliment just the person’s image, but also their activities.  By a appreciating someone for the job they have done, you are sending a powerful message of approval on all levels.

  1. Is That A New Dress?

You wouldn’t believe the amount of time, money, and effort, all women put into their appearance.  Of course it’s a new dress, even if she says otherwise.  Sometimes, a girl will say something like “Oh, this old thing? I just threw it on”, when in fact she was carefully planning her outfit for hours, so don’t be fooled.

  1. I love your shoes.

All women love shoes, it’s just like with guys and cars.  If you complement her shoes, she will look at you starry eyed and entire evening.

  1. Your smile is great.

great-smileA genuine smile can be the prettiest thing in the world, and complementing on it can be even better.

  1. You should be a model.

Nowadays models come in all shapes and sizes.  Personally, I believe that all people are beautiful in their own way.  Complimenting a girl with these words, you will definitely cause her to blush!

  1. I love your eyes.

They say the eyes are the window to one’s soul.  Compliment on her eyes and you will definitely make her day.

  1. You inspire me.

bird-5325-1If you are truly inspired to with this person, you should let her know.  Sometimes we fail to communicate how much some people mean to us and how much they inspire us.

MAPL Flamingo Socks

I am up on the Make A Pretty Life blog today sharing my flamingo socks.  Jodi was so sweet to send me the cutest pair of flamingo socks in my July DT package.  I knew her logo would look so cute on the bottom.

I loved the socks so much I went out and bought a pink flamingo float for the pool.  We named him Donald Ruiz, after two of my MINI Cooper buddies....Meet Donald.

Those of you who know me, know I love making custom socks.  My Etsy shop was hopping around the holidays with lots of different custom versions.  These socks from Woven Pear, are so soft and comfortable.  Check all the different ones out over at MAPL.

  1. I used to wear white socks in my school days, but as I grew up, I started wearing printed socks that look beautiful and stylish, and I have also tried custom pet socks that has become the best choice with the passage of time.

In numerous mature markets and industries, companies are desperately trying to eliminate risks in all its forms. Even though many risk mitigating actions might be rational or even mandatory, it’s dangerous to take it too far. A strong risk-mitigating focus eventually strangles the culture of innovation. Once that culture disappears, things will gradually go sour. Really sour.

Taking risks is really a golden opportunity for many young companies. Whilst mature competition put tremendous energy into mitigating risks, these young companies have the opportunity of a lifetime to dazzle customers by innovating and provoking all “known truths”.

To embrace risk a company must embrace the art of intuitive tactics. It’s crucial to constantly empower people to make dynamic business decisions often based on gut feeling. It might result in “two steps forward one step back”, but it will eventually get you places where new funky products and services grow.

In plain English – astounded customers and crushed competition will not come from long-term strategies outlined by executive management. Even though such plans make us feel rational and safer, the outcome is probably the opposite. Think about it – if we can’t even foresee tomorrow, it’s rather tricky to foresee the next one to five years. No football team ever won a big trophy thanks to a strategy set months or years beforehand. To go big and stay successful, risk must be embraced and tactics must constantly change.

Our future growth depends on companies taking higher risks today than they did yesterday and a willingness to change tactics over night if markets and evolution demand so. That’s also why companies that do so continuously outperform competition in the long run and makes our world a better place to live in. In lack of a better word, risk is good…

McGill Martlet basketball falls to Ryerson 80-79

From Oct. 12 to Oct. 14, the Martlets hosted the 24th annual Redbird Classic, featuring McGill, University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBC Okanagan), Ryerson University, and Bishop’s University. The Martlets beat UBC Okanagan 96-51 on Oct. 12 but fell 80-79 to the Ryerson Rams on Oct. 13.

The Martlets started out strong against Ryerson, scoring the first basket and continuing their solid start with four three-pointers in the first minutes. They managed to balance these outside shots with some beautiful post play and showed off the depth of their bench. Head Coach Ryan Thorne made full use of preseason play, giving each player at least a full quarter of playing time.

“It’s funny [that the team has such good depth] because we started out the season with three injured players and nine people playing,” fourth-year guard Geraldine Cabillo-Abante said. “It’s definitely nice to have a full rotation now.”

Finishing up the first half, however, Ryerson was in the lead with a score of 41-40. The turn of fortunes was largely a result of some strong moves from Ryerson in the key that nobody from McGill could shut down.

In the third quarter, McGill moved the ball around the three-point line looking for shots to open up, but they were unsuccessful and only ended up flirting with shot clock violations. Though the Martlets matched Ryerson’s tight defence on the other side of the court, Ryerson widened the scoring gap by the end of the third quarter to 58-52.

Although things were looking grim with the Martlets down 14 points midway through the final quarter, McGill’s full-court press gave them a fighting chance in the last minutes of the game. The defensive tactic is fitting the McGill team well.

“I feel like that’s my comfort zone,” second-year forward Kamsi Ogbudibe said. “I’m really long, so I get a lot of deflections. People don’t expect me to be so long, so I get a touch, and then my teammates are there to help.”

Ogbudibe dominated the turnover game, and she contributed everywhere else on the box score, too, as she finished with 11 points, five rebounds, and three steals.

The Martlets stayed focused and intense throughout the game, but, in the closing quarter, they brought a new ferocity to the floor.

“I was on the [bench], and I was so into it,” Cabillo-Abante said. “Defensively, the intensity, everybody just wanting the ball and playing together.”

The team hustled to close the 14-point gap in impressive fashion, but the Martlets could not get the final point necessary to tie up the game, ultimately losing 80-79. Despite their tough loss, the team’s future is bright.

“We’re getting better, from the first game to now,” Ogbudibe said. “We just need to do a better job of closing out. We’ll just keep growing.”

With six new players on the roster, Cabillo-Abante noted the importance of the preseason for their growth as a team.

“[There are] a lot of new girls on the team,” Cabillo-Abante said. “[We have] six vets and six rookies. From our first game to our game just now, we’ve already improved a lot from just starting to trust each other, but we still have a long way to go.”

It seems this improvement is something to watch for when looking toward the rest of the season.

“I’m pretty confident for what’s coming up this season,” Cabillo-Abante said. “We’ll just keep getting better.”

“Steph’s [Stephanie Mondou] last three, she chucked it up, and I was like ‘Oh, here we go.’ It banked [in,] and I was like ‘Okay, let’s go!’” – Second-year forward Kamsi Ogbudibe on Mondou’s shot-clock-beating three-pointer in the game’s closing seconds.

Moment of the Game

With 24 seconds left in the game and the buzzer sounding, third-year guard Stephanie Mondou hit a three-point shot to move the score to 78-77 for Ryerson.

Stat Corner

Out of its 79 total points, McGill made 30 points off of turnovers.
