Mr. Wesley slept that night at Lincoln, and rode back the next afternoon, reaching Wroote a little before nightfall. After stabling the filly he went straight to his study. Thither, a few minutes later, Mrs. Wesley carried his supper on a tray. He kissed her, but she saw at once from his manner that he would not talk, that he wished to be alone.
Hetty and Molly sat upstairs in the dusk of the garret, speaking little. Molly had exhausted her strength for the while and argued no more, but leaned back in her chair with a hand laid on Hetty's forehead, who--crouching on the floor against her knee--drew down the nerveless fingers, fondled them one by one against her cheek, and kissed them, thinking her own thoughts.
Downstairs a gloom, a breathless terror almost, brooded over the circle by the kitchen hearth. They knew of Hetty's probable fate-- the sentence to be pronounced to-morrow; they had whispered it one to another, and while they condemned her it awed them.
Soon after nine Johnny Whitelamb came in from the fields where for two hours he had been walking fiercely but quite aimlessly. Great drops of sweat stood out on his temples, over which his hair fell lank and clammy. His shoes and stockings were dusted over with fine earth. He did not speak, but lit his candle and went off to his bed-cupboard under the stairs.
Before ten o'clock the rest of the family crept away to bed. Mr. Wesley sat on in his study. This was the night of the week on which he composed his Sunday morning's sermon. He wrote at it steadily until midnight.
Next morning, about an hour after breakfast, Mrs. Wesley heard the hand-bell rung in the study--the sound for which (it seemed to her) she had been listening in affright for two long days. She went at once. In the passage she met Johnny Whitelamb coming out.
"I am to fetch Miss Hetty," he whispered with a world of dreadful meaning.
But for once Johnny was not strictly obedient. Instead of seeking Hetty he went first across the farmyard and through a small gate whence a path took him to a duck-pond at an angle of the kitchen garden, and just outside its hedge. A pace or two from the brink stood a grindstone in a wooden frame; and here, on the grindstone handle, sat Molly watching the ducks.
"He has sent for her," announced Johnny, and glanced towards the kitchen-garden. "Is she there?"
Molly rose with a set face. She did not answer his question.
"You must give me ten minutes," she said. "Ten minutes; on no account must you bring her sooner."
She limped off towards the house.
So it happened that as Mr. and Mrs. Wesley stood and faced each other across the writing-table they heard a gentle knock, and, turning with a start, saw the door open and Molly walk boldly into the room.
"We are busy," said the Rector sharply, recovering himself. "I did not send for you."
"I know it," Molly answered; "but I am come first to explain."
"If you are here to speak for your sister, I wish to hear no explanations."
"I know it," Molly answered again; "but I need to give them; and, please you, father, you will listen to me."
Mr. Wesley gasped. Of all his daughters this deformed one had rendered him the most absolute obedience; of her alone he could say that, apart from her bodily weakness, she had never given him a moment's distress. In a family where high courage was the rule her timidity was a by-word; she would turn pale at the least word of anger. But she was brave now, as a dove to defend her brood.
"You are using a secret"--her voice trembled, but almost at once grew steady again--"a secret between me and Hetty which I had no right to betray. If I told it to mother, it was because she seemed to doubt of Hetty's despair; because I believed, if only she knew, she would come to Hetty and help her--the more eagerly the worse the need. Mother will tell you that was my only reason. I was very foolish. Mother would not help: or perhaps she could not. She went straight to you with the tale--this poor pitiful tale of an oath taken in passion by the unhappiest girl on earth. Yes, and the dearest, and the noblest! . . . But why do I tell you this? You are her father and her mother, and it is nothing to you; you prefer to be her judges. Only I say that you have no right to my secret. Give it back to me! You shall not use it to do this wickedness!"
"Molly!" The last word fairly took Mrs. Wesley's breath away; she glanced at the Rector; but the explosion she expected hung fire, although he was breathing hard.
Molly, too, was panting, but she went on recklessly. "Yes; a wickedness! She swore it, but she did not mean it. Even had she meant it, she was not responsible. . . . No, mother, you need not look at me so. I have been thinking, and father shall hear the truth for once. Had he been kind--had he even been just--Hetty had never run away. Oh, sir, you are a good man! but you are seldom kind, and you are rarely just. You plan what seems best to you--best for Sam and Jacky and Charles--best for us too, maybe. But of us, apart from your wishes, you never think at all. Oh, yes again, you are good; but your temper makes life a torture--"
"Silence!" Mr. Wesley thundered out suddenly.
But the thunder did not affect Molly one whit.
"You may do what you will to me, sir; but you have heard the truth. You are a tyrant to those you love: and now in your tyranny you are going to do what even in your tyranny you have never done before--a downright wickedness. Thwarted abroad, you have drunk of power at home till you have come to persuade yourself that our souls are yours. They are not. You may condemn Hetty to misery as you have driven--yes, driven--her to sin: but her soul is not yours and this secret of hers is mine not yours!"
But here standing beside the table she began to sway, then to sob and laugh unnaturally. Mrs. Wesley, instantly composed at sight of a physical breakdown, stepped to her and caught her by both wrists, but not before she had pointed a finger point-blank at her father's gray face.
"But--but--he is ridiculous!" she gasped between her short outcries. "Look at him! A ridiculous little man!"
Her mother took her by both shoulders and forced her from the room, almost carried her upstairs, dashed cold water over her face and left her to sob out her hysterics on her bed. It had been a weak, undignified exit: but those last words, which she never remembered to have uttered, her father never forgot. In all the rest of her short life Molly never had a sign from him that he remembered her outbreak. Also he never again spoke a harsh word to her.
While her mother bent over her, waiting for the attack to subside, a knock sounded below stairs. Molly heard it, raised herself on the bed for a moment, staring wildly, then sank back helpless, and her moaning began afresh.
Mrs. Wesley turned her face away quickly; and with that her gaze, passing out through the garret window, fell on a figure crossing the yard towards the house.
It was Hetty, moving to the sacrifice. And below, on the other side of the house, the man was knocking to claim her.
For a moment Mrs. Wesley felt as one in a closing trap. It was she, not Hetty, upon whom these iron teeth of fate were meeting; and Hetty, the true victim, had become part of the machine of punishment. The illusion passed almost as quickly as it had come, and with a glance at the figure on the bed she hurried downstairs, in time to meet Hetty at the back door.
As she opened it she heard William Wright's footstep in the passage behind, and his shuffling halt outside the study door, while Jane, the servant, rapped for admittance.
Hetty, too, heard it, and bent her head.
"We had best go in at once," Mrs. Wesley suggested, desperately anxious now to come to the worst and get it over.
Hetty bent her head again and followed without a word. The two men were standing--the Rector by his writing-table, Mr. Wright a little inside the door. He drew aside to let the two ladies pass and waited, fumbling with his hat and stick and eyeing the pattern of the carpet. There was no boldness about him. It seemed he dared not look at Hetty.
"Ah!" Mr. Wesley cleared his throat. "There is no reason, Mr. Wright, why we should protract a business which (as you may guess) must needs be extremely painful to some of us here. I have made inquiries about you and find that, though not well-to-do, you bear the reputation of an honest man, even a kind one. It appears that at great cost to yourself you have made provision for an aged father, going (I am told) well beyond the strict limits of a son's duty. Filial obedience--" The Rector's eyes here fell upon Hetty and he checked himself. "But I will not enlarge upon that. You ask to marry my daughter. She is in no position to decline your offer, but must rather accept it and with thanks, in humility. As her father I commend her to your love and forbearance."
There was silence for a while. Mr. Wright lifted his head: and now his culprit's look had vanished and in its place was one of genuine earnestness.
"I thank ye, sir," he said; "but, if 'tis no liberty, I'd like to hear what Miss Hetty says." Hetty, too, lifted her eyes and for the first time since entering rested them on the man who was to be her husband. Mrs. Wesley saw how they blenched and how she compelled them to steadiness; and turned her own away.
"Sir," said Hetty, "you have heard my father. Although he has not chosen to tell you, I am bound; and must answer under my bond unless he release me."
"For your salvation, as I most firmly believe, I refuse to release you," said the Rector.
"Then, sir," she continued, still with her eyes on William Wright, "under my bond I will answer you. If, as I think, those who marry without love sin against God and themselves, my father is driving out sin by sin. I cannot love you: but what I do under force I will do with an honest wish to please. I thank you for stooping to one whom her parents cast out. I shall remember my unworthiness all the more because you have overlooked it. You are all strange to me. Just now I shrink from you. But you at least see something left in me to value. Noble or base your feeling may be: it is something which these two, my parents who begat me, have not. I will try to think it noble--to thank you for it all my days--to be a good wife."
She held out her hand. As Mr. Wright extended his, coarse and not too clean, she touched it with her finger-tips and faced her father, waiting his word of dismissal.
But the Rector was looking at his wife. For a moment he hesitated; then, stepping forward, drew her arm within his, and the pair left the room together.

Tesla showed off its new at-home battery, Powerwall 2.0, during its big solar-roof unveiling on Friday night.
The battery comes with incremental improvements from a technical and design standpoint. The rechargeable battery is meant to complement Tesla's new solar roof as part of Tesla's effort to "create a clear picture of how a combined Tesla and SolarCity will make solar and storage as compelling as electric vehicles," Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote in a blog post.
Tesla is in the process of buying SolarCity in a deal worth $2.6 billion. Shareholders will vote on the proposed merger on November 17.
Here's everything we know about Tesla's Powerwall:
In 2015, Tesla unveiled the Powerwall — a rechargeable lithium ion battery weighing roughly 200 pounds that you can mount on your wall. Panasonic makes the cells for the Powerwall, while Tesla builds the battery module and pack.
When it was released, there were two versions of the Powerwall: a 6.4 kilowatt-hour model that cost $3,000 and a 10 kWh option priced at $3,500. To help put that into perspective, the average person in the US uses about 30 kWh of power a day.
The Powerwall can store electricity generated by solar panels and draw electricity from the utility grid when rates are low to store for later use. It also provides homeowners with backup power in the event of an outage. All Powerwall installations must done by a trained electrician.
The Powerwall is also modular, so you can install up to nine batteries side by side to store more power. When it was introduced, Tesla received 38,000 preorders for the Powerwall, selling out through the first half of 2016.
Tesla had already made several changes to its battery since its initial release. In March, Tesla discontinued its 10 kWh battery option, making its 6.4 kWh battery its only option.
"Due to the interest, we have decided to focus entirely on building and deploying the 7 kWh Daily Powerwall at this time," a Tesla spokesperson told Greentech Media at the time.
Tesla then said it would introduce a new version of the Powerwall over the summer, but instead released small improvements that made it easier to install and be compatible with a new inverter. The first version of Tesla's Powerwall didn't come with an inverter, requiring homeowners to purchase one separately.
The inverter converts the electricity generated from the solar panels to an alternating current that can be used for power.

We are currently working through R.A. Torrey’s book “How to Pray,” published by Whitaker House Publishing.
We have very carefully studied the positive conditions of prevailing prayer. But, there are some hindrances in prayer. God has made these very plain in His Word. This week we will begin this part of the study with selfish prayers.
James 4:3 – Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts (or; pleasures). At first glance, we will often blurt out “I don’t ever pray in a selfish manner!” To be perfectly honest, this was my first thought when we read this chapter in our devotions, and even after all of our discussion, I am still struggling with some of the examples that the book gave as selfish prayers, but let me back up and give you what the book has said. Then I will do my best to relay to you what the consensus was when Pastor Brad, Pastor Gavin and myself discussed what we had read.
A selfish purpose in prayer robs prayer of power. These prayers may be perfectly proper to ask for, things for which it is the Will of God to give. But the hindrances in prayer boils down to is the motive behind your prayers. Motive is defined by Webster’s as that which incites to action; that which determines the choice, or moves the will.
Is it possible to have a selfish motive in asking something that aligns with God’s Will? To answer this, you have to ask yourself this question: Will this just bring me gain or will this bring glory to God? That’s it, this is the litmus test, simple right? Yeah, that is what I thought too. Let me give you one of the examples out of our book.
1) A woman is praying for the conversion of her husband. That certainly is a most proper thing to ask. But, her motive in asking for the conversion of her husband is entirely improper; it is selfish. She desires that her husband may be converted because it would be so much more pleasant for her to have a husband who sympathized with her. Or, it is so painful to think that her husband might die and be lost forever. For some such selfish reason as this, she desires to have her husband converted. The prayer is purely selfish. Why should a woman desire the conversion of her husband? First and above all, that God may be glorified. It should be her desire because she cannot bear the thought that God the Father be dishonored by her husband.
Do you still think that it is simple? That example really hits home. Can a prayer for a loved one really be selfish?
The consensus of the Pastors:
Have you ever prayed out of fear? Let me try to explain. A loved one is dieing, and you begin to pray that God will heal their bodies. After all we know that God still is in the healing business and that there are many scriptures that tell us that it is God’s will that we be in perfect health. But, if we apply the litmus test to this scenario and check to see if we are being motivated into praying for healing because of the loss that we will have at their death or is it because we know that it will bring glory to God if they are healed?
Here are my struggles:
Psalms 2:8 – Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psalms 37:4 – Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Luke 12:32 – Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
You see, this subject has to go farther than just the mere words that we speak, it has to go down deep into the heart where our words originate and from where we are motivated into action.
What about you? What do you think on the subject of hindrances in prayer? Weigh in on this subject and post a your comments now! Let us hear from you.
We would love to hear any questions or comments about this message. If something in particular jumped out at you please let us know by leaving a comment HERE if you are reading this in your email, or if you are reading this on our website just scroll down to the comment box.

HF and VHF operation can be affected by noise on the bands which makes it hard to hear the weaker stations and adds to your fatigue.
Many times the noise is coming just outside your doorway, from the power lines. Power companies are usually very willing to help out with noise issues, but not all companies in this age of financial limitations will have the necessary equipment or trained personnel to properly locate nearby noise sources.
MFJ-5008 aids you in locating the noise sources generated by corona discharge and arcing components on the power system. This device is an acoustic receiver tuned to the ultrasonic range of 40 KHz allowing you to hear the ultrasonic noise generated by the corona discharge and arcing connections that generate the power line static on your radio.
Using an 18-inch diameter plastic dish giving a narrow beamwidth to pin point noise sources to less than 12 inches at 50 feet. The dish also has a short focal point making the overall front to back depth just seven inches. With the handle mounted close to
the dish, the center of gravity is closer to the handle reducing fatigue on the hand from the weight pulling down in front.
An ultrasonic transducer mounted inside a sturdy metal support helps reduce dish bending and warping. Targeting holes built into
the transducer mount and on the dish are aligned with the beam of the dish allowing you to pinpoint the noise sources on the pole.
Receiving electronics are mounted on the handle for convenient operation. Operates on a standard 9-Volt battery (not included).
The gain of the receiver is such that you can receive noise generated from power line sources from several hundred feet away. A 3.5mm headphone jack lets you use any stereo or mono headphones.
Not only can you use the MFJ-5008 to find power line noise sources, you can also listen to a wide range of nature sounds! In the ultrasonic range bats, birds, and insects can easily be heard.
MFJ-5008 can give you a whole new perspective on the wildlife around you. It can also help locate mechanical noise sources in the ultrasonic range. Measures 20 1/2W x 19 1/2H x 7D inches. Weighs just 2.5 pounds.

I had some old friends up from Bournemouth this weekend, I used to take them out on the hills many years ago when I was first qualifying as an instructor. They came up to do some scrambling but with the snow on the hills we went winter climbing instead.
On saturday, we went to do Sinister Gully, but the snow seemed a little weird at the bottom so we opted for the Parson’s Nose. Which I have done many times in summer but never in winter. As a winter route its just as good and has some great short technical problems. We check the snow at the top of the gully we wanted to climb and it was much better.
We descended down Crib Y Drysgl and bum slid down from Blwch Coch. I cooked a lovely mexican meal that evening and got a few more friends over, and tried not to over indulge.
Today we head up to the Trinity face where it was much colder, and snow was better. We headed up Central Trinity, and I got my friend to rope together and lead it. They moved together until they wanted a belay and then taught them T-Axe belays and they climbed 4 pitches to the top. Where I showed them a stomper belay, before heading back down to Pen Y Pass.
I got the feeling that they really enjoyed there weekend.
Well a rest day meant I had time to explore cooking some flapjack. I had been give a basic recipe, but decided to spice it up a little. The rough recipe was
Bring to the Boil – 250g Butter (about one block, save some for greasing the baking tin), 250g Brown Sugar, 300g Treacle, 50g Black Treacle, 4tsp cocoa powder.
Add 150g of dessicated coconut, and 500g of oats, and mix well.
Put in a well greased non-stick tin and cook for 20 to 30 minutes at Gas Mk 4.
Allow to cool, and then do battle with the tin, to get the lovely chocolate and coconut flapjack out. (It might be better to use some grease proof paper, but its not something that I have usually!). Once out, cut up and try not to eat all of it before you head out into the mountains. You will also need a panel beater to re-shape the baking tray!
Anyway looking forward to using my bespoke hill food this weekend.
If you have any recipes for me, I am super keen on my cooking at the moment, off to cook a nice curry now for tea!
I heard yesterday that a colleague of mine and fellow freelancer had a serious fall whilst what sounds like soloing on Ben Nevis on Wednesday. Whilst i haven’t got the whole story (BBC) it sounds like he fell a considerable distance off the Ben.
It was really quite surreal as I was watching the news the night before I found out and saw a man been rushed from the Helicopter to the Ambulance in Fort William. The speed of the transfer had impressed me, and the sense of urgency in the teams eyes, made me think that the situation was serious. Little did I know it was someone I knew.
I wish him well, as i imagine he will need all his strength and determination to pull through such an ordeal. As it happened on the Ben, I suspect that some the people we both work with may well have been on the mountain and possibly on the scene when it happened, and my thoughts go out to them as well. Trauma is a hard thing to deal with and it has been a costly winter in Scotland so far.
I was turned down for a job last year because I lack winter qualifications, based on the back of this season, I am not sure I will be pursuing those winter awards despite what it means for my employability. In fact I am not sure I will ever go to Scotland in winter again, it just seems way to serious for me. Wales seems to have all I need, and somehow feels less serious.
If you read this I wish you a speedy recovery, and look forward to some tea and cakes back at the office one day.
I have ranted on here in the past about the Mountain Heritage Trust, and how they have seemed to take the BMC, and in a way the members of the BMC’s money and not really given much back to climbers in return. After I blogged on this a while back I was contacted by someone who knew of Phil Kelly’s project to put on line as many new routes books as possible online.
The site is called the Rock Archivist and what he has achieved in his own time and at his own expense is a simply wonderful. A site that has a total wealth of climbing history. The actual pages of several key new routes book from around the UK. As well as some great personal accounts and photos from various sources.
The news of the site was announced today on UKC, and I have to say it will hopefully turn into a great new resource for anyone who wants to look at the history of our great sport. What I really hope is that the people who are involved with teh Mountain Heritage Trust look at what can be achieved, and use the £15000 a year of BMC members money to put those archive materials they have online.
The site at the moment is just egtting going. I know Phil has a few things planned, inparticular a search facility, and seeing that the route name, area and ascentionist are all stored in a database linked to the appropriate page(s). It will really set the site on fire for looking at specific routes or climbers. At the moment though the site almost invites you to browse, and just explore some of these historic books.
Spent this afternoon at Castell Helen, running up Light House Arete Direct and the top pitch of Rap, both VS. The weather wasn’t too good the sun that was shining when we left Llanberis was gone by the time we arrived at the crag. On the crag the wind wasn’t too bad, and you could really feel the warmth in the breeze compared to the more recent knifing northerlies.
It was great to get to Gogarth so early in the year, my climbing partner found the atmosphere rather more exciting than a normal cliff. Considering it was her first sea cliff experience, it is not surprising that it felt rather exposed. The sea was fairly lively, although not as bad as i have seen, when I had to belay 40 ft above the usual belay niche because of the waves.
My day started early, as I had to drive to rochdale to attend a BMC coaching workshop. I quickly hit a problem when my van refused to start, as the battery has been destroyed by the cold weather. So after calling the AA out they eventually got it started with a separate battery. Although in the process nearly broke the imobiliser, and as I discovered on the return journey, they also managed to unplug my windscreen wipers, not a good thing to discover in a snow storm on the motorway. Fortunately, I managed to plug it back in and get going.
The workshop was ace, and I am looking forward to the twelve or more bottles of wine I need to drink to get all the corks I need, as well as the gaffa tape I need to ‘Change the Medium’. I will write more on the workshop over on my coaching blog.
My drive back was exciting as it was snowing heavily on the A55 around Llandudno, so much so I had to phone up a friend in Llanberis and get a weather report, as I feared it was going to be deep by the time I got there. No such luck, as it was just sleet in the village.
Spent another day ticking more routes in Vivian Quarry, climbing Psychotherapy within 24 hours of the last time I climbed it. This time it was in the sun, and out of the wind, which made vivian quarry a top venue choice for today.
We also climbed Last Tango in Paris, Comes the Dervish and The Madness.
Well, after having watched Eastenders Live 25th Anniversary on Friday (How awesome was that!), I went on to get rather drunk after finishing a 7 day stint of work. The weather on Saturday was meant to be poor, so we opted to go climbing on Sunday instead. So Saturday revolved around seeing my friend and there kids in the morning, before cooking some tiffin, a chocolate cake and a Shepherds Pie to fill up said friends. A couple of beers again, and I was ready for bed at about nine o’clock, a very poor show, but after a week of night nav and camping I was shattered.
Sunday morning I had left the house by 9am, Llion and I had an ambitious plan for a days cragging, however the sun didn’t appear to dry off the crags around LLanberis, so we headed to the coast, and saw a promise of some sun towards Llandudno.
We climbed seven routes at Castle Inn before heading to Penmean Head, unfortunately the sun hadn’t quite come one the crag so, Llion manage two route there, I only seconded one, as it was too cold in the shade, and the clouds seemed to have won the battle, we then came back to Vivain Quarry and climbed Mental Lentils and Psycholtherapy.
So despite a cold day we manage a fair few routes. 10/11 in total.
Anyway I had a few funny images I had taken on my phone over the last week or so. However there is a problem because A, I can’t find the lead that plugs phone into computor, and B, The bluetooth connection seems to be screwed.
Well I have been useless the last couple of days. Recovering from the 6 days work on an Mountain Leader Training Course, I then had another surprise day work on a climbing course for Lithuainian Instructors. It was a great day and after a terrifying drive through snow that appeared from nowhere. As my colleague said for a moment it was literally puking snow.
Did a fair amount of climbing for myself when at Indy Wall, we did some ace bouldering, and having not been there for months it was like a bunch of new problems, and all were excellent as ever. I managed to climb a couple of V6 and one V7 in very quick time, and failed just short of the finishing jugs on a V8. So I felt rather strong.
Well the last three days of the ML training course went by, including my two day mini break and over night camp. Which wasn’t as bad as expected as not only did it cloud over, but also my five season Mammut/Adjunalak sleeping bag really did the deed in keeping me toasty warm.
I was expecting a day off tomorrow, but it looks like I will have to head into work again, as someone is off sick at PYB, so I get to teach climbing to some lithuains. A friend has reliably informed that Labas in hello in their tongue. Although probably means something rude!
Went to the climbing wall this evening and was climbing well despite feeling exhausted. I was doing circuits again. Which is getting to be a joke with a few friends who know we are all training for Yosemite and big walling by going bouldering!
Anyway Pete Robins turned up at the wall, which felt like Wayne Ronney turning up to your Sunday Knock around with your mates (not that he isn’t a mate). He is still on fire after Liquid Ambar. He is ridiculously strong, and great fun as ever to be burnt off by.
One day, hopefully not to far away, I will unleash my beacon power endurance onto real sports climbing and see if all the effort has paid off, and turn that 8a dream into a reality.
I have been collect stories in the papers, and funny pictures that have amused me over the last week, hopefully I will get round to putting them up if I can find five minutes to do so. Although I just want my own bed at the moment, so Nos Da (Good Night) as they say in Wales.

If you are looking for a great way to add some personality to your home decor, consider installing wallpaper and adding some framed photos to the walls. While these touches can be quite costly, they are well worth the money spent. There are several common mistakes people with long hair make when choosing the wallpaper or framed photos to use in their home, and by reading this article, you will not make these common mistakes. By taking your time, choosing the right look, and matching your wall color scheme to match the colors in the photos, you will end up with a look that will enhance your walls without becoming tacky.
How to Choose the Right Wallpaper For Long hair
Choosing the perfect wallpapers for your living room, dining room or bedroom can sometimes be very confusing for people with long hair. When you have hair that is very long, choosing a wallpaper which is both subtle and yet still portrays the look you want can be very difficult. There are in fact many things to consider before selecting wallpaper for your long-haired loved one. The first thing to do is to figure out whether your long-haired friend prefers bold or more subtle designs. You should also determine what kind of image or photograph best complements the type of wallpaper you have selected.

Being social creatures, people need others to survive and thrive in life. This is why social isolation makes us vulnerable emotionally, mentally, and even physically. As a provider of companionship in California, we acknowledge that living alone can make our older adults more prone to health risks.
Studies backed by the National Institute on Aging found out that social isolation and loneliness are linked to a higher risk of some physical and mental conditions. Older adults who live alone and feel isolated and lonely are at risk of developing physical illnesses such as:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Weakened immune system
- Other chronic diseases
They are also at higher risk of having cognitive and mental health problems such as:
- Cognitive decline
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Other types of dementia
According to one of the researchers, Dr. Steve Cole, loneliness affects one’s health because it acts as a fertilizer for other diseases. As an effect, it can advance the buildup of plaque in arteries, aids in making cancer cells grow and spread, and help inflammation in the brain leading to Alzheimer’s disease. Loneliness can make you physically frail and needing in-home assistance.
To ease our seniors’ loneliness and to lower their risks of contracting other health complications, our services in our home care in Los Angeles, California can help. We have companionship services that will provide daily company and assistance for your elderly loved ones. At Absolutely in Homecare Services, we aim to provide quality services that will promote our seniors’ physical, emotional, and cognitive health.

Owl Toppers - What a Hoot!
I'm excited to finally have some new cake decorating posts to share. In reality, it's only been about 6 weeks since I've made a cake, but it feels much longer. For most of 2013, I've had at least 2-3 cakes a month to make! Things have slowed down this Fall, but I think they are starting to ramp back up again. I just finished a cupcake topper order and have a big project coming up next weekend. I don't want to give it all away, but if you have a little boy (or girl) who loves trains, you will want to check out my two-part series starting next Monday! But, today I'm sharing my latest order I just finished - baby shower cupcake toppers.
Have you noticed how popular owls are recently? I've seen so many owl decorations for this Fall, but even in the summer it seemed they were everywhere. One of the more popular places I have seen owls are in children's clothing and baby items. I was excited to create toppers following this trend when I was asked to make some for a friend's baby shower. Now I've made toppers for a wedding shower, tons of kid's parties, and some other Holiday get-togethers, but I hadn't made baby shower toppers yet!
These toppers were a "hoot" to make. Sorry, you had to know that pun was going to be used somewhere... I had a blast making them and hope the mother-to-be loves them. We will be out of town for the shower, so I'm glad we were able to help contribute to the special day.
When making toppers, I like to have some sort of pattern I use. Whether it is a cookie cutter, or printed template, I like to try to keep the shape and size uniform on the toppers. Thankfully I found an easy way to do this for the owls, they were really simple to make! I hope you enjoy this tutorial and share it with anyone having an owl themed party.
Owl Topper Tutorial:
- Dye fondant the color of the owls
- Roll fondant to around 1/16 in
- Cut out oval shapes around 2 1/4 in long (I actually bent my 2 in round cutter, I had multiple ones that size)
- Using the cutter again, cut down about 1/2 in from the top - keep the piece off to the side, you will use it for the wing
- Use a "C" shaped tool (common in the fondant tool sets) to indent into the owls body, starting about 1/3 way down. Do 3 indentations in the first row, two in the second, and one in the third. These help create the look of the owl's ruffled feathers.
- Roll out white fondant paper thin
- Cut out two round circles for each topper, I used the lid of an edible marker that was roughly a 1/2 in diameter.
- Attach eyes by painting gum glue on the back with a paint brush (gum glue = small balls of fondant or gum paste dissolved in small amount of water, the ratio doesn't have to be precise)
- Color a black dot in the center of the eyes using an edible marker
- Dye a small amount of fondant orange
- Roll out orange fondant paper thin
- Cut out small triangles for the beaks and attach them with gum glue
- Get scraps of owls that were cutout from the top to use as wings. Use a rounded cutter to round off one side to serve as the top of the wings. You will only have 1/2 the number of wings since the scraps only made one. Cut out additional wings using extra purple fondant.
- Use gum glue to attach the wings to the body
Enjoy! Feel free to share this post on social media. See the buttons below for easy sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest! Check back later this week for some delicious recipes.

Resverlogix has received an extension from the Toronto Stock Exchange to hold its Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on December 15, 2016.
Resverlogix is developing apabetalone (RVX-208), a first-in-class, small molecule that is a selective BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) inhibitor. BET bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic mechanism that can regulate disease-causing genes. Apabetalone is the first and only BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain (BD2) within the BET protein called BRD4. This selective inhibition of apabetalone on BD2 produces a specific set of biological effects with potentially important benefits for patients with diseases such as high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer's disease, Orphan diseases, and peripheral artery disease, while maintaining a well described safety profile. Apabetalone is the only selective BET bromodomain inhibitor in human clinical trials, currently in a Phase 3 trial, BETonMACE, in high-risk CVD patients with type 2 DM and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
Resverlogix common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:RVX).

Ocean County Mall – Two New Stores Will Be Part Of Redevelopment
It's been 6 months since the owners of the Ocean County Mall got the official go-ahead to undertake a major redevelopment project, and today, Simon Property Group announced a pair of tenants that will be coming to Hooper Avenue.
In addition to the currently under construction BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, Simon announced that the space where Sears used to be will feature an LA Fitness gym and a Homesense home store.
The press release outlines a planned 34,000-square-foot LA Fitness gym that they expect to open, "no later than the 1st quarter of 2020."
In addition, Homesense will add its 6th New Jersey location, "in the second half of 2020".
The announcement also pegs a summer 2019 opening for BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, which is currently being built on the Hooper Avenue side of the mall.

Wallace was the controversial political figure known for his Southern populist pro-segregation attitudes. He famously said in his 1963 inauguration speech, “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”
To stop desegregation by the enrollment of African-American students Vivian Malone and James Hood at the University of Alabama, Wallace stood in front of Foster Auditorium on June 11, 1963, until federal marshals, Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, and the Alabama National Guard forced him to step aside. (see clip below)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led marches between Selma and Montgomery, Alabama to protest Wallace’s unwillingness to give African-Americans their rights. The violence against peaceful marchers led to a famous statement by President Lyndon B. Johnson that ultimately led to the signing of the Civil Rights Act.Some of the other key roles that need to be cast in Daniels’ film include President Lyndon Johnson and Martin Luther King, Jr.
ComingSoon.net did an brief interview with Daniel’s last October, and discussing the film, he said, “It’s a moment in time in Martin Luther King and LBJ’s (life) around the signing of the Civil Rights.

Remember the bank passbook?
Many people still use it as their primary savings account or for an emergency source of funds. Many bankers seem to have forgotten about it, though, judging by the fact the interest they pay on passbook accounts has lagged well behind the rates paid on certificates of deposit or charged for loans.
First National Bank of Chicago, which has the area's highest total deposits, pays 2.9 percent for passbook accounts of $200 to $25,000. When compounded daily, that works out to 2.94 percent. A year ago, the rate was 2.5 percent, compounded to an annual rate of 2.53 percent.
LaSalle Talman Bank's passbook rate is 2.75 percent while Citibank's pays 2.01 percent.
Major banks this week raised their prime lending rates to 9 percent, up from 6 percent a year ago, as they followed the Federal Reserve Board's total boost of 3 percent in the bank overnight borrowing rate since last February.
A First Chicago spokesman says the money kept in passbooks amounts to less than 7 percent of its total deposit base. He had no information on how many accounts the bank has.
"Our CD rates, however, have kept pace with other interest rates," he says. "They are up an average of 292 basis points (or 2.92 percent) over the past year." They are paying between 5.07 percent (for 90-day CDs) and 7.25 percent (for 10 years).
A footnote: The Fed probably isn't done boosting rates. Carl Tannenbaum, director of treasury research and chief economist at LaSalle National Bank, says the Fed may make "one or two more 50 basis-point moves to ensure that the economy and inflation are under control." He appeared Thursday in a breakfast forecast panel sponsored by WBBM radio.
A new rival: First Alert Inc., the largest manufacturer and marketer of home smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, has a new competitor headed by a former president of the company.
Donald Conti left Aurora-based First Alert in May 1993 after 12 years with the firm. He founded LifeLine Products Inc. last April with David Budding, who had been the manager of new-product development at First Alert and is the new company's VP of sales and marketing.
After working out of a distributor's office, the firm is moving to permanent quarters in Bensenville this week.
LifeLine is marketing a line of carbon monoxide detectors under the brand name ProCO. The units are produced under contract by Marine Technology Inc., of Wauconda, which made an earlier version for the marine and recreational vehicle market. Dominick's Finer Foods recently agreed to carry the product in its Chicago-area stores, and Conti says he is talking to other retailers.
Conti claims his product has several advantages over that of rival First Alert. That company's detectors were responsible for numerous false alarms last fall because the instruments were too sensitive. The ProCO unit double-checks CO levels before sounding an alarm, can be reset with a push of a button and operates on electric current rather than a battery. It can be placed anywhere in a house, he says, or even in an unheated garage.
Conti says he left First Alert after a change in control and the new owners brought in new management. Gary L. Lederer, senior VP of investor relations at First Alert, declines to comment on the reasons for Conti's departure but says his firm has no problem with its new competitor.
Experimental eating: The west suburb of Wheaton will be the testing ground for a new restaurant called Cozumel, which will feature grilled fish and meat items peculiar to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.
Dallas-based Brinker International Inc. plans to open a Cozumel outlet Feb. 14 in Wheaton and another the same day in Little Rock, Ark. The first Cozumel restaurant opened recently in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
Brinker operates four other restaurant chains with a total of nearly 500 company-owned and franchised outlets under the names Chili's Grill and Bar, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Grady's American Grill, Spagheddies Italian Kitchen and On The Border Cafe. The publicly held firm had revenues of more than $1 billion last year.
Business beat: Thrall Car Manufacturing Co. is looking at sites in Scotland and Slovakia to build truck and container railcars for the European market. John Carroll, president, says the company might build a plant or license a manufacturer.
Mesirow Financial opened an office in Boca Raton, Fla., to offer services to municipal pension plans and other institutional investors.

I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION
THIS IS GUSTO...and a friendlier, easier, cuter tri-colored, 14 lb, 2 yr old Shih Tzu/Peke mix you will never find! We saw this boy with his family, just waiting to impound him into the Baldwin Park shelter -- three days before Christmas!! Before we could make arrangements to rescue him, he was taken way, but fortunately, we were able to get him the next day. His guardians said he was a wonderful dog, and they were absolutely right!! He is potty trained, good with kids, great with other dogs, a terrific family dog....but they were moving and could not take him with them. Ugh. He was a little skittish at first, but only because he had no idea what was happening to him. At our foster home, he is a snugglebug, giving lots of kisses, playing with toys, and actually does do his business outside (but still, we never guarantee) and he LOVES to play with puppies! He is quiet and easy going...what more could you want in a dog! They gave us his age and his breeds....and said he loves everyone....and he does! So, if you are looking for a wonderful companion, Gusto would be him!! He would love a pal to play with and kids over 8 yrs old would be great! A yard would even be better! But as long as he gets a lot of love and attention, this young man will be happy!! Gusto loves life and he will love it more once he is in his forever home! Might that be with you?
Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID tag!
If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application
before calling. We want to give you the time you deserve, so please help us help you!! We will contact you once it has been reviewed.
First Sunday of the month, we hold our adoption events at The Healthy Spot West Hollywood (8525 Santa Moinca Blvd, West Hollywood, 90069) from 11am-3pm. Most every other Sunday, unless we are doing a special event, we are at My Pet Naturally (12001 W. Pico Blvd., West LA 90064) from 10:30a-3pm. You can see this, and many more, adorable pups at this weekly event! Please do call us if you are coming to see a particular dog to make sure he/she will be at adoptions (we do not bring sick dogs to our adoption events). Please bring a copy of your application and pictures of your home and yard if we have not done a home check! Most importantly, if you have a dog, make sure you bring him or her to do a compatibility match with the dog you are interested in adopting!!! And don't forget to check out our Events Calendar

The FBI did wiretap Trump Tower to monitor Russian activity, but it had nothing to do with the 2016 Presidential election, it has been reported.
Between 2011 and 2013 the Bureau had a warrant to spy on a high-level criminal Russian money-laundering ring, which operated in unit 63A of the iconic skyscraper — three floors below Mr Trump's penthouse.
The investigation led to the indictment of more than 30 people, including alleged mafia boss Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, according to ABC News.
“He is a major player,” said Mike Gaeta, the agent who led the 2013 FBI investigation, in a 2014 interview.
“He is prominent. He has extremely good connections in the business world as well as the criminal world, overseas, in Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, other countries."
The suspected mobster – who is accused of moving $50m (£40m) in illegal money to the US – remains at large, even after Interpol issued a red notice for his detention.
Revelations about the surveillance came after Mr Trump claimed that previous US President Barack Obama had "wiretapped" his headquarters.
The President has failed to provide any evidence for the allegation – made in a string of tweets – and a congressional committee investigating the allegation said it did not believe it happened.
FBI director James Comey further undermined the claims on Tuesday when he told a congressional intelligence hearing he "had no information that supports those tweets".
Five months after alleged mafia leader Mr Tokhtakhounov was indicted, the fugitive appeared near Mr Trump in the VIP section of the Russian Miss Universe pageant.
Mr Trump was not implicated in the 2013 money-laundering probe.
An investigation by ABC found that Mr Trump's properties have hosted a disproportionate number of Russians, including some with criminal records.
The Trump Organization responded saying it does not track buyers by nationality.
