Dear MPs prisoners will vote by hook or by crook!
Dear MPs prisoners will vote by hook or by crook!
Prisoners and Votes by Lisa
I have been following all the news on prisoners votes. I have a partner in prison as you may all know because I contribute quite a lot to your blog. If the Government want to screw over the prisoners votes, then why don't we unite as prisoners families and put the vote in for them? I have never voted in my life before, and those who have a loved one inside who haven't voted before too, should consider doing it? How many extra votes would go in if that was the case? This isn't a long shot, it can be done quite easily. Could I ask Prisoners families Voices if I could promote this via their blog and Facebook page please and urge families to get behind their loved ones regarding this important issue?
I Will Vote For My Husband by Anon (Via Facebook)
Hi. I have just seen your pledge for prisoners families to vote on facebook. I am all up for it. My partner is innocent and currently going through an appeal. So on behalf of him, I will vote and so will his relatives too! I will spread the word at the vistors centre where I go. I have voted a few times in the past but haven't bothered for a good few years. But I am in it this round for sure!
My Prisoner Will Vote by Jackie Lane
I am ashamed to say that I have never voted. But the way I have been treated by the Government for being an innocent family member of a UK prisoner - they can bank on my vote this time. I am not blowing my own trumpet, but where I live, I am very well respected because I live in quite a deprived area and I am known to fight prisoners families corners. Especially children that are bullied because they have a Daddy in prison. I am not saying that they respect my hubby, that would be wrong to say, because he has done wrong and he is in prison at the end of the day. But they respect me for the sheer shit I have had to put up with by being his partner.
therefore, tommorow, I will call on my community and ask them to vote. Most of them have never voted in their lifes, but they will now and I'll even give them a lift to the voting station!
I have been bounced from pillar to post by The Prison Service who have shipped my hubby out God knows how many times. So what I am saying is. To Lisa. I will be spreading the word and you have my word on it. Prisoners families need to make a stand. Whether they think prisoners votes is right or wrong, do it for the sake of yourselves and VOTE! Haven't the British Government pissed families around for long enough now?

2Entitlement to vote in the referendum
(1)Those entitled to vote in the referendum are—
(a)the persons who, on the date of the referendum, would be entitled to vote as electors at a parliamentary election in any constituency, and
(b)the persons who, on that date, are disqualified by reason of being peers from voting as electors at parliamentary elections but—
(i)would be entitled to vote as electors at a local government election in any electoral area in Great Britain,
(ii)would be entitled to vote as electors at a local election in any district electoral area in Northern Ireland, or
(iii)would be entitled to vote as electors at a European Parliamentary election in any electoral region by virtue of section 3 of the Representation of the People Act 1985 (peers resident outside the United Kingdom).
(2)In subsection (1)(b)(i) “local government election” includes a municipal election in the City of London (that is, an election to the office of mayor, alderman, common councilman or sheriff and also the election of any officer elected by the mayor, aldermen and liverymen in common hall).
Comment:
11. We regret the fact that this Bill has not been subject to either pre-legislative scrutiny, or to prior public consultation.
12. In general, we regard it as a matter of principle that proposals for major constitutional reform should be subject to prior public consultation and pre-legislative scrutiny. We recognise that there may exceptionally be good reasons for departing from this principle, but the perils of doing so are well illustrated in the present Bill. The case for proceeding rapidly with one Part of this Bill is far stronger than for the other.
Because s.2(1) of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 has not taken into account Article 3 of the First Protocol of the Convention, it is arguable that it is not Convention compliant.
I feel a challenge coming on. I understand that prisoners are waiting for the forms to be sent by a firm of solicitors, Jackson & Canter LLP, in Liverpool.
Update: I am unable to find a copy of any compatibility statement being made in relation to the above Act...

Chic in Miami: Soho Beach House
When Stefan and I were in Miami, we stayed at the Soho Beach House in Miami Beach. It is the perfect place for those who want to stay in a quieter and less over the top hotel. It felt like we were staying in a friend's home. Before I show you the hotel itself, I thought I would start with our room and the chic hallways. Martin Brudnizki designed the hotel but I was told that all the special little touches were due to the owner, Nick Jones. The result is beach house meets English country mansion that somehow completely works.
There are gallery walls of art all over the hotel including in the elevator lobbies on each floor, above.
I loved the pale blue tufted leather walls in the elevators or lifts as the British like to call them.
Hallways are an often overlooked decorating opportunity. I absolutely loved the chic beachy look of the hotel hallways. This is definitely going in my beach house file for future use. It's so simple but perfect. The seagrass runner is actually inset which means there is no curled up edges to trip over. The pale grey and white tile set on the diagonal also refers back to the tile in Cecconi's.
Even the simple doors were perfect.
How fun would it be in a big beach house to number the doors so your guests can find their room easily?
Instead of blue like the hallways, our room was green.
The grey and white tile floor was cool and reminded me of nautical flags.
The details such as the hooks and leather umbrella stand were definitely English touches.
We had a big room that included a seating area, not that we sat much in Miami Beach!
The best part of the room was that it really did feel like you were staying in a very chic but comfortable home.
We loved the vintage suitcases under the bed!
They even supply a beach bag to use during your stay. Just wait until you see the pool and beach areas. Talk about chic!
The armoire was the closet.
I read that Nick Jones's favorite color is petrol blue which reminded me of the color of the old leather on these chairs.
You can either watch the view or the television.
We preferred the view which included the pool area and ocean. We also overlooked Cecconi's.
I loved that the chairs sat on a round seagrass rug.
The fabrics added to the English feeling in the room.
The bar was very chic.
You could even have someone come and make you drinks!
We had real crystal glasses in our room.
I loved the knobs on the bar.
This little chair was adorable.
I'm sure the tub in your room would be romantic if you were staying with your partner and not your friend!
The leather desk was chic too!
Another look at the comfy bed.
After dealing with the small bathroom on the cruiseship, we were most excited about the spacious bathroom!
Two sinks was a treat!
We both fell in love with the Cowshed Spa products!
We joked that the shower stall was as big as our entire bathroom on the cruiseship! I took a shower even when I didn't need to just because it was so fabulous! I especially loved the dry waiting area to the side. And even the WC, below, had its own sink.
As an architect and designer, Stefan and I were most impressed with all the details and special touches in our room and throughout the Soho Beach House. Just wait until you see the rest of the place!

Bayi Tertukar Baru Terungkap Setelah 56 TahuN !!
Sebenarnya tahun 1953, Marjorie Angell, ibu kandung DeeAnn Angell Shafer, berulangkali mengatakan kalau anaknya yang diberikan kepadanya bukanlah anaknya, namun sayangnya perawat rumah sakit Pioneer Memorial Hospital di Heppner, Oregon gak mengubris...
Adapun sejak intuisi Marjorie yang mengatakan anak yang diberikan kepadanya bukanlah anaknya, hal itu pun lalu menjadi semacam gosip di sekitar tempat mereka tinggal selama bertahun-tahun.
Dan selama 56 tahun, kasus itu tidak terungkap dan bisa jadi gak mungkin terungkap jika saja seorang wanita berusia 83 tahun – yang juga mengenal kedua ibu DeeAnn dan Kay – gak memperlihatkan sebuah foto kepada Bobby Reed.
“Sepertinya itu foto Kay Rene saat dikelas 7 atau 8,” ujar Bobby.
Tapi si wanita itu mengatakan kalau foto itu adalah fotonya saudari DeeAnn.
“Kay Rene bukan seorang Reed. DeeAnn seorang Reed,” ujar wanita itu menyakinkan.
Tes DNA pun dilakukan. Bersama saudara Kay, Bobby Reed dan Dorothy Reed, mereka pun bertemu dengan DeeAnn di Kennewick, Washington bulan lalu dan emang hasil tes membuktikan 99.9% Kay bukanlah saudarinya Bobby dan juga Dorothy.
Meski kabar itu akhirnya terungkap, namun sayang, Marjorie Angell gak bakal pernah mengetahui kebenaran dna intuisinya sebagai ibu karena dirinya sudah meninggal.
“Hal itu menyedihkan. Hanya memikirkan aku kehilangan kesempatan mengenal orang tua kandungku sendiri,” ujar DeeAnn Angell Shafer.
Sedang Kay Rene Reed Qualls yang sekarang tinggal di Richland, Washington, mengatakan meski dirinya menikmati kehidupan yang indah bersama keluarga Angels, dirinya merasa bersalah tentang kenangan-kenangan yang seharusnya milik DeeAnn dan keluarganya.
“Aku memperhatikan mereka dan aku merasa aku sudah menipu seseorang,” ujarnya.
Kasus tertukarnya DeeAnn dan Kay berawal saat mereka dimandikan bersamaan sesaat setelah mereka lahir.
Pihak rumah sakit menawarkan ganti rugi buat konseling tapi keduanya menolak.
Kini keduanya berteman dan telah merayakan hari kelahiran mereka yang jatuh pada 3 Mei kemarin bersama-sama.
Kabarnya baru-baru ini Kay Rene memperkenalkan DeeAnn kepada teman kerjanya, dengan sebutan, ‘swister-ku’.
“Aku berusaha melangkah ke depan dengan pandangan positif. Kamu gak bisa kembali melihat kebelakang. Hal itu malahan bisa membuatmu gila,” ujar DeeAnn.

Unik, Orang Jepang Mengecilkan Perut Hanya Dgn sedotan
Tapi jepang punya cara unik untuk melatih otot perut supaya kencang dan hasilnya perut bisa mengecil. caranya gimana? mereka cuma pake sedotan! kok bisa?
Siapkan Sedotan
Potong 5 cm
Ratakan salah satu ujung sedotan
Tutup separuh lubang sedotan dengan selotip.
Mulut sedotan setelah tertutup selotip 1/2 bagian
Tarik napas dalam-dalam, lalu tiup sedotan dengan kuat selama 5 detik
lakukan selama 3 menit per hari
Poinnya, meniup napas kuat-kuat selama 5 detik.
Beberapa orang yang melakukan selama 2 minggu hasilnya berbeda-beda, tetapi semuanya berhasil mengecilkan perut.

Dengan menggunakan sedotan yang ditutup separuh, efek penggunaan otot perut menjadi berlipat.
