The opening chapter of the book serves as a 'Before' snapshot of a contented, uncomplicated family just before their world was ripped apart. Then you catch a look on her face - grey, drawn, blurred - and you remember that not only has she lived through something that would finish most of us off, she has lain on the very floor of hell while she was doing it. Sara, 35, is so calm and together when she talks, so matter of fact as she carries Ellie off for a nappy change, it is easy to forget why she is here, and what she is talking about. It put back some timings and memories and also some stuff that I didn't want to remember but needed to.' Was it a painful process? 'The opposite, actually. If you want to know the truth of how I think, there it is.' Does Sara anticipate criticism? 'I suppose some won't like it or won't agree with me writing it. Some may feel disquiet at the thought of a mother writing a book about her child's murder. 'It just seemed like a good way to end this chapter, say how it really was.' She has often been approached to produce a book but she wasn't sure until she became pregnant with Ellie. 'They all have their own perspective and I'm sure their story would be almost a different story.' Settling down to talk to me at her publishers, accompanied by her six-month-old baby, Ellie, and a family friend, Sara is at pains to point out that the book is just from her perspective, and she is not speaking for her husband, Michael, Sarah's older brothers, Lee and Luke, or younger sister, Charlotte. ![]() Now Sara has published Sara Payne: A Mother's Story, her account of the last four years, as told to a journalist who was there from the beginning, when Sarah was taken.

![]() ![]() Yes, nails or screws used to hold the plasterboard do penetrate the vapor barrier, but it cannot be helped engineers have not figured out a punctureless fastening system. The point of a vapor barrier is to stop the loss of air and heat from the house, and to do that, it must be in one piece. If you have a lot of holes and tears, you can staple polyethylene plastic on the entire wall while this is an extra vapor barrier, it will cover all those holes very well, and the wall finish will press it against the paper backing, creating, in effect, one vapor barrier. So, before putting up the wall finish, tape those holes and tears with duct tape or clear sealing tape of any kind the clear stuff that makes a horrendous noise when you take it off the roll is best. A vapor barrier with holes is no longer a vapor barrier. Can I leave them when I put up plasterboard as a wall finish? - Keith Buday, Holliston, Mass.Īnswer: Sure, but it will make the paper backing (vapor barrier) useless. A few wayward punctures from a back-pocket screwdriver created holes and tore the paper. Question:I put up faced insulation (fiberglass faced with paper) with the paper showing in the room. They are particularly useful in preventing chipping of paint. Undercoaters were developed to go over shiny surfaces without sanding, and work very well on all surfaces. If you do prime the walls, I suggest you use a latex enamel undercoater, also called primer-sealer.įor virtually every other surface - bare wood or painted wood, painted metal, even bare metal - you need a primer, also called a latex enamel undercoater, before finish painting. If you really want to prime the walls, it will do no harm and may even do some good. In the future, you can continue painting walls and ceilings, without priming. The handyman feels strongly that this is so, because when his opinion on the subject is published or aired, he gets no brickbats or claims that he is wrong. Two coats of a latex ceiling paint or latex wall paint are all that is needed. As a rule, plastered surfaces do not need priming or applying an enamel undercoater. Christopher Davies, Bridgewater, Mass.Answer: It is so. Is this so? I am painting my rooms - walls and ceilings - and I want to do the best job possible. I recall you writing that a primer was not needed when plaster is painted. We are happy to help.Question: All my walls and ceilings look great, made of Blueboard (plasterboard) skimcoated with plaster. If you are in need of a professional decorator in Fulham, Putney, or anywhere in London, then give us a call. I would recommend to those with lined walls, to get the re-lined every 3 or 4 coats of paint, this way they always look fresh, and not like overly painted wallpaper. This is only ever so slightly, but enough that you would notice it one day. The seams start to separate, and then the central heating helps them to separate more, and warps it slightly. The down side to lined walls is, the first few times you choose to paint it looks great, after that, the weight of the paint on the paper begins to make it sag slightly. This is the cheaper, faster alternative to having your walls mended, made good and skimmed. Once painted, you wouldn’t know that there was paper on the walls. A thick lining paper put on a wall well by a professional, any bumps or cracks underneath would not be noticeable. Lining paper comes in different thickness’s. This is where a lot of customers would opt for lining paper to be put on the walls. One thing that I will always advise you to think about is, you don’t know what condition the walls are in under the wallpaper, and any quotation would have to be re-evaluated is severe cases. If your walls are already wallpapered and you want to have them stripped back, skimmed and painted, it is slightly more of a task, but again, it can be done. Plastered walls can be painted and re-painted time and time again, and will continue to stay in good condition. If your walls are in good condition, and any cracks or holes have been mended, skimming them is not necessarily going to be a long, arduous or expensive process. My personal recommendation would be to have nicely plastered walls. But it is your house, and what you want goes. Wallpaper comes in and out of fashion every few years, each time it seems it has more garish colours and patterns. One thing I have learned, is that interior decoration is a cyclic thing. If you buy a house, and want to go to the extent of having it re-decorated professionally, your preferences should come first. And I have to say, with all my years of experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lining paper or plaster?

He was treated surgically with internal fixation and bone grafting.ĭiagnosis and treatment of scaphoid fractures has been fraught with uncertainty and fear for ages. His radiograph in clinic showed a minimally displaced transverse fracture at the junction of the distal and middle thirds of the scaphoid with slight widening of the scapholunate interval ( Figure 2). His range-of-motion was close to the opposite wrist with only mild discomfort at the extreme ranges. His wrist was diffusely tender along the dorsoradial side, including the waist of the scaphoid. He felt no immediate pain at the time of this rolling incident.Įxamination revealed diffuse swelling over the mid-dorsal and volar regions of the wrist. He recalled no specific trauma other than his friend rolling onto his wrist and forearm. He had been wrestling with a friend and a few minutes afterwards noticed that his right wrist had severe diffuse pain, encompassing the radial side, the ulnar side, the palmar side, and dorsal side. Repeat radiographs in clinic showed a non-displaced transverse fracture in the proximal portion of the scaphoid with sclerosis and lucency of the proximal fragment, suggestive of AVN.ĭue to the chronicity of the fracture and the associated AVN, internal fixation along with vascularized bone grafting was performed with subsequent adequate healing.Ī 16 year-old right-handed Caucasian male of American nationality presented to clinic one month after the onset of right wrist pain. The waist of the scaphoid was non-tender, but the proximal pole near the scapho-lunate junction was tender. His motion was restricted in both flexion and extension. Subsequently, he had intermittent radial wrist pain, which worsened over time.Įxamination of his wrist in clinic 5 years after the injury revealed no visible swelling. He wore a removable splint for a few weeks with some initial improvement in symptoms. He had immediate pain, but was told his radiograph at the time was negative. ![]() While playing soccer he was hit on the left hand with the ball, causing a forced palmar-flexion of the wrist. MRI was obtained which confirmed the fracture without AVN.Ī 20 year-old right-handed Caucasian male of American nationality, who used to deliver water containers, presented to clinic five years after injuring his left wrist. Repeat radiographs in clinic showed a non-displaced transverse fracture through the waist of the scaphoid without evidence of avascular necrosis (AVN) ( Figure 1). There was no tenderness to palpation of the waist of the scaphoid in the snuff box, or over the distal pole of the scaphoid on the palmar side. Passive extension and flexion produced radial-sided pain. Her examination in clinic one year after the injury revealed no visible swelling. ![]() She had radiographs taken shortly thereafter, which were apparently negative, and despite symptomatic treatment, she continued to have diffuse radial-sided wrist pain. ![]() ![]() She had been participating in medieval jousting and while holding a sword in her hand, an opponent caused her to hyperpronate her wrist without any direct impact to the wrist or hand itself.

Watch Dogs Legion is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. ![]() While it is unlikely that most fans will need so many of these opportunities, they may prove useful to those players that are doing a permadeath run of Watch Dogs Legion. Indeed, even if a fan playing on this higher-difficulty setting loses a Spy or two, there are plenty of locations that they can visit to recruit another one. It is also possible to find a Spy near the burger place in Tower Hamlets and by the coffee shop in the City of London, giving players even more opportunities to recruit one of these Skilled Operatives. For instance, players will occasionally find Spies gathered in the alley next to the MI6 building on the west side of Lambeth, and they can recruit one directly from there. Fans can also look for a Spy at the County Hall in this same borough (near the Westminster Bridge), as one will occasionally appear in that building's courtyard. This is certainly not the only way to recruit a Spy in Watch Dogs Legion, though, as these Skilled Operatives can appear in a variety of locations across the map. Fans may then want to try out some of the toys that come with this Watch Dogs Legion recruit, and the spy car is perhaps the most exciting gadget that they have.

I eventually settled on 350 degrees F with most of the frying done up front in the par-fry stage. Some recipes even changed the temperature between frying steps, but I found those made the recipe too difficult to manage when frying multiple batches. The wings are par-fried, rested, then fried again until done, but just how long to give each stage was yet to be determined since every recipe I found for Korean chicken used different times and temps. I knew that a traditional double-frying technique would help create the crunchy coating we needed, but it would take some trial-and-error to determine the best time splits. The biggest challenge when creating my Bonchon chicken wings recipe was finding the perfect magical mixture for the batter that fries to a golden brown, and with tender crispiness that stays crunchy long after the wings have been brushed with the flavorful glaze. That chain's famous formula is why there are now over 340 Bonchon outlets in nine countries, including over one hundred in the US and more planned to open here in the near future. Korean chicken is famous for its extra crispy coating, and Bonchon’s recipe-especially the wings-is one of the best in the world. In that case, you can find some of my famous cocktail recipes here.
