The Valley of Oosular
Death and the afterlife
When someone dies, the soul is released and (usually) immediately begins its journey to Zannara where it will rest in a peaceful yet dreamless sleep.
The Journey
For a soul to achieve this rest, it must first make the journey across the Ethereal Plane. This it the realm of spirits that have not passed on and is the counterpart to the material plane. During this phase of the journey the soul faces the danger of becoming lost. It could end up spending untold time wandering the Ethereal Plane confused and frustrated. It could also be captured by nefarious necromancers and the like, who would try to utilize the soul in the creation of undead and other constructs. Lastly, the soul (especially corrupt ones) could manifest as an undead such as a ghost or wraith, without the interference of a necromancer.
The next phase of the journey takes the soul through the Astral Plane. This is where the real danger begins as it is the hunting grounds of various demons, devils, and other agents of the Abyss who actively harvest souls for their masters. If a soul making the journey is captured by a harvester demon, also called a Soul Reaper, it is held and slowly tortured, corrupting it bit by bit. Once the demon has its quota, it will return to the Abyss and there the souls are held and corrupted further. Evil souls succumb quickly, while righteous ones can hold out for a long time. Once the process is complete, the souls are often merged to form more demons. This process strips them of all individuality and destroys their memories, making it impossible for them to every be resurrected. Most souls are not immediately merged however, and spend untold time as mindless slaves to demonic masters.
There are also various creatures that roam the Astral Plane. Some of these beings, while not aligned with either Zanara or the Abyss, can pose a great danger for they can feed on souls, devouring those they capture, making resurrection nearly impossible.
Once a soul makes it to Zanara (a journey that can take months, or even a year), it will rest the Dreamless Sleep. Non-evil souls, especially good ones, find the sleep eternally peaceful, while the wicked could be forever restless and uneasy.
In Zannara, righteous and/or powerful souls might be given a choice to become an Angel or Archon. If they accept, they will be merged with others to form these powerful Celestials. The process will strip them of their previous individuality, but often some memories of the souls that made the Archon remain. Like their demonic counterparts, this process is irreversible and the souls once merged cannot be un-merged and cannot be resurrected as the individuals they once were.
Aiding the Deceased
The journey of the dead is fought with peril, but it can be aided by mortals. A simple ritual performed on the recently deceased can speed the soul's trip though the Ethereal Plane, and help keep it hidden from hunters on the Astral Plane. It can still be found and corrupted, but its chances of making it to Zannara are greatly increased.
Also, the Warrior Archons of Zannara actively hunt the Hunters of Souls in the Astral Plane, and aid any spirits they come across to find Zanara. Many battles between powerful forces are fought over the souls of simple folk.
Resurrecting the Dead
As long as a soul is intact (it has not be devoured by astral creatures or merged with other souls), it is possible for it to be resurrected. This usually happens when the soul is still making their journey to Zanara — for it takes powerful magic to bring back someone dead long enough to be at rest. Often this process, while difficult, will go according to plan, and the soul in route will be given the choice to immediately return to the realm of the living. There is a danger however… if a soul has been corrupted by demonic forces, but not yet merged with other souls, it may return corrupted and evil, and this wont always be apparent to its former allies…

If I didn't like the women in my Bible study, I would not have gotten up early on a Saturday morning to have breakfast with them at the Farmers' Market. We were originally going to meet there for brunch at 10.30, but I had to be at the museum at 11 and a few others had things to do in the morning as well so they settled on 8am. Thankfully, the line for the coffee is very short at that hour and we also got a bacon and egg roll very quickly.
Andrew did soccer and netball duty alone (no joy there for any of the kids this week) and I went up to the museum for the launch of Sonya's Now and Then exhibition. Not being a museum person, I don't really understand how you have a launch a good many weeks after it actually opened, but I imagine there is a reason for it.
Sonya used a few of the library's photos for her project and this is the one that made it into the exhibition. She worked with Year 10 students to line up an old photo with the subject as it is now. At the launch, the student spoke about why she chose this photo and how hard it was to line it up properly. I spoke about the history of the bridge and the original photo.
This is Tina from the museum with Sonya. You can't tell from any of my photos, but there were lots of people there!
Joss went to a very long birthday party this afternoon and came home with purple hair, covered in glitter. She had a wonderful time. They need to be good friends to pull off a six hour birthday party!

You already know how important lawyers are if you have to take your case to court.Lawyers have bad reputations, but they're extremely important to winning a court case. You should find a good lawyer you will hire to represent you in court. Keep reading to learn more about lawyers and how to best utilize a lawyer.
Don't just hire the first lawyer you come across. Do thorough research for the wrong one can end badly.Ask as many people as you can on any lawyers you're thinking about hiring.
This is common practice among scammers and unscrupulous legal types; it is often seen when there is a scam where lawyers are simply looking for money. Do your due diligence and be sure you hire a good lawyer on your terms.
You should know that anything that you share with your lawyer must be held confidential. For instance, if you speak with your lawyer about something dealing with your company, you do not have to worry because a lawyer is legally bound to not share this information with others.
Find out whether or not a lawyer is experienced with your particular problem.Just because they specialize in cases similar to yours does not mean that he is able to win your case.
Be wary of handing retainer to a lawyer for taking your case. Make sure that you are going to be refunded for any money not used.Talk with other lawyers to see if they'll take less or no retainer at all.
Have an extensive list of questions for your case.During your first meeting, the attorney should answer any question you may have, even if you are not being charged for it. They have to make you comfortable with the knowledge and experience they have. If you feel that they are not as experienced as you had hoped, go with your gut and move on to find someone more suitable.
Try using a lawyer referral services. These types of services can lead you look find some good layers. Others list good lawyers based on the state's bar association standards. Find out more about different referral services and listings before deciding which one to use.
Your case may be put on the back burner if he or she is too busy with other cases. Ask your lawyer up front whether they will have time to handle your case. They should be honest about their schedule so you can find an attorney that has enough time.
The lawyer will be able to provide you with a better estimate if they know what all the information available. Being efficient when dealing with lawyers can save you money.
Ask your lawyer if there's something you can do any work so that will help cut down costs you have to pay them. You may be able to help get the court paperwork for your case yourself. You can ask if you may also be able to run documents to and from the bill.
A good lawyer will never try to win your business by guaranteeing a court case. This is definitely something that should be a red flag for you.
Don't choose lawyers that read your case easy. Any lawyer who believes this is not the best choice.
Never hire a lawyer without having personally met in real life. Hiring someone you've never met can be a huge mistake. You can also see if you will get along.
Look around the room carefully when you visit a lawyer's office. Do you see their files in alphabetical order?Do you notice a lot of papers on their desk? Is there coat neatly hung up properly?
Ask yourself questions about the lawyers you meet. Do they have an office that is well-organized and clean office? Ask whether or not they appeared professional demeanors and appearance. Determine whether they are quick to respond to your phone calls and emails. Do they keep their appointments or reschedule appointments?
Tell your lawyer the case to avoid problems and complications.Your attorney will take what you report and run with it to build a good case for your case. You should also keep in mind that your attorney since they are not supposed to this to anyone.
Don't pay anything to the lawyer unless you're sure what you will get. Many lawyers ask for retainers before considering your case. That money isn't used for doing actual work but just for keeping the lawyer available.
There are times when it is necessary to hire legal representation. These include any cases where a crime is charged, or if you are a party to some other case.
You should have your questions you want to ask to the lawyers. You may do this via the phone or in person. Ask them directly about consultation will be charged so you will not be surprised by a bill.
Communication is the most important thing when speaking with your lawyer. Are they actively listening to you? Do they have responses to your questions you have? Do you feel that they spend their time simply talking over your had and not listening to what you without taking your opinions in consideration?These are very important. If communication is compromised, find a better one.
You should have a better idea of how you can find a trustworthy lawyer. This added knowledge will give you quite the advantage in court. Learn from these tips and thoroughly research your lawyer. The ultimate goal is to win your case, so learn everything that you can to succeed.

I'm going to have to have our dog put down [sad]. How to handle it with DD?(50 Posts)
Found out about 6 weeks ago that our dog has cirrhosis (sp?) of the liver. He had filled up with fluid and had extensive tests/x-rays/scans etc. to determine this. There's obviously nothing that can be done apart from giving him liver tablets and some diuretics to try and slow down the build up of fluid.
I had the fluid drained off at the vets just before I went away on holiday and when I got back 2 weeks later he had filled right up again .
Took him back to the vets when I got back and they said that they could drain him again but that he would only keep filling up with the fluid again.
This last 6 weeks I have spent just short of £1000 on vets fees, tablets, tests etc. (had to borrow the money from a friend because I stupidly didnt have him insured and I couldn't afford it).
He is now very uncomfortable, has trouble lying down and his walking is starting to become affected because of all the excess weight he is carrying. Also, because of the pressure the fluid is putting on his bowel etc, he has constant diarrhoea and is having trouble controlling it - meaning I have to leave him in the kitchen with newspaper down.
So I think the best thing all round is to have him put to sleep . We have had him for about 6 years and DD (11) absolutely dotes on him. He is her best friend and she spends most of her time after school/at weekends etc. walking him, playing with him. She has been to the vets with me and so knows that he wont get any better but will just deteriorate. We have had lots of tears the last couple of days and last night she came to me and said that she'd made a decision and that she thought he should be put to sleep so that my dad (her grandad) could look after him in heaven
So now that we've both made the decision, I'm not sure how to handle it from here. Do I take her with me to the vets when we take him in? Or should I do it when she's at school? Do they just take the dog away or would they give him the injection while we're there?
I'm really worried that DD will go off the rails once the dog has gone. Since I kicked my abusive ex out (who now rarely bothers with DD), her bond with the dog got stronger and took her mind off her daddy not being here
Please help mn'ers
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
oh I am so sorry.
What an awful thing to have to do on your own.
I will face the same dilemma in about 7 years time, when our labradors reach their golden years, and dd and ds will be devastated.
I plan to be as honest as we can, and to involve them as much as they want to be involved.
It may help her, is you get another dog/puppy for her to have a new bond with? is that something you would consider?
Def second the cremation ans scattering of ashes idea.
Really feel for you x
Its awful .
Poor you,poor dd and poor doggy.
It is the absolute kindest thing imo choosing this way a dog cant tell you he's had enough,hes tired and he feels rough he has to trust you to make the decisions for him and part of being a responsible pet owner is knowing when the time is right.
Our hamster died last year (i know a hamster cant compare to a dog ) but when he died we told our boys that hamsters do have short lifes and he was loved and looked after and hed had a very nice life filled with love and treats and that was his time to go- they did cry and they still miss him but for us being matter of fact albeit v nicely worked.
oh dear tequila, not what you expect in such young dog, how sad.
i had a guinea pig which i loved dearly, he died while i was at school aged 7. i did see his body and we had a funeral.
ashes would be a lovely thing, you could have a sort of little shrine in the house, or scatter them. talk to your dd and see what she'd like to do. she might be very relieved not to be expected to be there at the end, or she might really want to be. it is all very peaceful, just an injection carefully given and dog literally does go to sleep.
you could also explain that it wouldn't be disloyal to get another dog, but of course not for a while as you are mourning the loss of your friend.
The ashes thing is a lovely idea, I hadn't realised that you could do that with animals ashes!
DD would probably really like to bring the ashes home and keep them in a little trinket box or something, then the dog will still be with her in a sense IYKWIM.
I don't really want to get another dog/puppy, it's not really fair now that I'm working full time and there's nobody at home in the day for it. I was thinking about buying DD a present or something though - maybe a silver locket which she can put a photo of the dog in? Or a nice photo frame?
Would we definitely have to stay with the dog while it goes to sleep or would they take it away and do it after we've gone? I'm not sure I could sit and hold the dog without breaking down tbh . I know that probably sounds awful but, for me, it would bring back awful memories of my Dad dying. Although I could probably get one of my friends or my mum to go and sit with it.
im just having my little dog checked over at the vets - his back legs have gone and im dreading any bad news so you have my sympathies on this one.
id get the vet to come out to the house and do it at home where he will be less stressed, and fwiw your doing the right thing however hard it is. as far as your DD (she is same age as mine) id ask her if she wants to be there or not. it will be heartbreaking.
if you take him in they will do it while your there if you want - i would have to be there to cuddle him while he goes - wouldnt want strangers surrounding him in his last moments, but i think im gonna get vet to come out to my house and do it there.
best of luck and god bless. x
so sorry
we had out dog put to sleep in february of this yr.
It was so hard,dd is 17 but we had had her for nearly 14 yrs so dd was very attached.Tbh she helped me as I was quite devastated ,didn't expect to be so upset.
I don't think you should take your dd with you,they couldn't find a vein in our dogs leg and ended up having to take her away to do it,she was heavily sedated though.
Remember if your dog was large there will be quite a lot of ashes,more than a trinket box full.
The dog isnt very big. He's a jack russell crossed with a corgi (we think!). So I don't think there would be that many ashes.
Ggirl, its awful isnt it. I didn't really think I was all that emotionaly attached to him until now
Will the vet come out to the house then? And then once the dog's asleep will he take him away to be cremated and bring the ashes back? Does anybody have any idea how much this will all cost?
Apologies for asking stupid questions but I've never had to do anything like this before
tis £££
I paid just over £100 for her to be done at the vets and no cremation, add about another £150 for cremation and another £50 for homevisit I would say.
oh these are prices for large dog,may be less for wee one
you're not suppose to but do you have a garden to bury him in. Get the vet to come to you, having a private cremation (rather than a communal one) is pricey.
a personal cremation for a pet is very expensive.
when the time comes im going to dig a big hole in the garden....couldnt possibibly afford a cremation for mine. the other way i think they do it if you cant take him home is a sort of group cremation....you wouldnt get his ashes back though.
couldnt you bury him anywhere? then at least your DD would have a place to put flowers or whatever. i know im sounding so sappy - i had no idea how attached you get to them either...ive got another one but i swear im never having another dog. its just too hard when they go.
Could you plan a special day before you have to put him down? She could plan to make it special, like take him for a walk or just decide to do the usual walk. Have a little party for him, take photos, make him his favorite meal, let him sleep with her for a night...
But the idea being that she plans it, so she will be more in control of when she has to say goodbye...
you have to bury them in quite a deep hole
atleast 3 foot I should think
i get my DH to dig those kind of holes...and i always bury my pets in a cardboard box aswell...think the last thing we had to bury was my old moggie and he went a good 5 feet deep. the other thing to consider is if your ever going to move house. i left my moggie at the last one but she was under the patio so no one should ever dig her up again...still its something to think about.
i keep saying im having no more pets then someone knocks on my door with a stray and im suckered...but i mean it this time.
really sorry for you TMB. x
I don't have a garden or I'd love to bury him!
Don't think the council would be particularly pleased about me pulling their concrete yard up either
ilovemydog..unfortunately a lot of those things are out of the question due to how quickly he has deteriorated. He can't walk very far now and even walking very slowly he gets out of breath very quickly. I can't let him sleep in her bed either due to the diarrhoea situation - I'm changing newspaper on the kitchen floor every half an hour today
at how much it costs to have them put to sleep though! Looks like having a private cremation is also out of the question due to cost so DD won't be able to keep the ashes. Unless they would give me some of the 'communal' ashes and DD would be none the wiser? [hopeful]
Im not so sure the ashes are a good idea -far better for her to think of him as he were 'whole' rather than in a pile of ashes ...my fil was devoted to his dog,paid nearly £300 for a night visit and he didnt keep the ashes.
She can keep his collar and his picture - far happier to remember her dog living as it were iyswim.
how sad
Appointment for the euthanasia is booked for 5.30pm today
I cant stop crying, I didn't even think I was that attached to the dog! DD has sat up all night with him and is absolutely broken hearted.
I feel really awful, knowing what other people have gone through with regard to losing DC/DP's etc. but for some reason I just feel so guilty about having him put to sleep (even though I keep telling myself it's for the best)
Please tell me I'm doing the right thing by letting him go
Oh you are doing the right thing .... even though it doesn't feel like it.
I'll be thinking of you all later.
tequila-sosorry,it is really hard but it is definitely the right thing to do for the dog's sake.
It is 4 months today that my dog was put down.I found it much harder than I ever thought.
You are doing the kindest thing,he has had a lovely life with you and your dd and he won't have to suffer in pain any more.
Will be thinking of you .
Thanks ggirl and shilke, I think it's more the guilt of making the decision to put him down which is getting to me.
I think if he'd been knocked over or died of natural causes then I wouldn't be so upset. It's more that I have actually made the decision for him to be put down - even though I know it's for the best - and taking him into the vets knowing that he won't come out again, that's the hard part .
Also, to see my DD so heartbroken, is making me worse!
Its really hard, feel so sorry for you and your DD. We had to have our cat put to sleep 3 weeks ago and it was so hard making the decision. Even thoughyou know withyour head it is the right thing, i flet awful about it and deliberated a couple of days more than i should really .
Once it was done though i actually felt better about it as with hindsight she was v. v. poorly and it did lessen her suffereing.
If you do nothing he will die anyway and not nicely so try to think of it like that. its really hard though, feel for you.
So sad for you fwiw it does sound like it's the right (and only) decision you could have made.
We had our little dog put down recently and although she was ancient and ill, it still felt very wrong and terribly upsetting phoning the vet to make the appointment. It would have seemed so much easier if she had just died in her sleep. I didn't take her to the vet, DH did, although afterwards I did wish I had taken her, not sure why.
The vet gave him the option of staying in the room and he didn't, I don't think I could have either. This is a totally personal decision, and if you choose not to stay, hang on to the fact that the dog has no conception of what is going on, and that once the injection's done they lose consciousness very quickly.
Take it easy afterwards, have a large brandy (or box of chocs, watch a good DVD, whatever) and look after yourselves xx

FEATURE: A-fib patient management costs strain U.S. healthcare system
|Dr. Michael H. Kim, Northwestern University in Chicago
Michael H. Kim, from Northwestern University in Chicago, who presented the studies, told Cardiovascular Business News that it was important to quantify the enormity of the total managed costs associated with treating AF patients. "The cost of treating atrial fibrillation is a burden on the patient, as well as the healthcare system," he said.
In one study, Kim and colleagues included a total of 35,255 patients (mean age 64 years, 65 percent men) diagnosed with AF (19,471 with outpatient managed AF, 5,008 with a primary AF diagnosis, 10,776 with a secondary AF diagnosis), and 20,571 controls without AF.
They found that in the 12 months post-hospitalization, for primary AF hospitalization patients, inpatient costs were $11,307 and outpatient costs were $2,827-- for a total cost of more than $14,100). For secondary AF hospitalization patients, incremental AF-related inpatient costs were $5,181 and outpatient costs were $1,376, totaling more than $6,500. For AF patients with outpatient management in 2005, 12-month AF-related costs were $2,177 ($175 for AF hospitalizations and $2,002 for outpatient costs).
"Sadly, I wasn't surprised by the magnitude of the managed care costs," Kim noted. "However, I was quite surprised by the percentage of Medicare patients with AF hitting within the 'donut hole.' "
The Medicare Part D prescription plan has a coverage gap between $2,250 and $5,100 per year, in which patients pay full drug costs (the 'donut hole'). At $5,100, patients qualify for catastrophic coverage. In a separate study, Kim and colleagues found that more than half of AF patients aged 65 years or older reached the $2,250 donut hole threshold, and one-fifth reached the $5,100 catastrophic coverage threshold, in 2006. In their study, the authors noted the "impact of this uncovered prescription cost burden on potential discontinuation of AF drugs."
Kim said that anti-arrhythmic drugs were "a minority cost item" compared to the cost burdens associated with the other drugs administered to these patients such as cholesterol and anti-platelet agents.
AF ablation could present an alternative to some of these patients as a first-line treatment, especially for those who are younger and those with no structural heart disease, and "might compare relatively favorably in terms of cost perspective," Kim said.
The success rate for AF ablation, however, is "only intermediate," Kim said. Cost-effectiveness studies would have to examine "sizable upfront costs, which approximately equal the cost of a hospitalization with a few days follow-up, as well as back-end costs such as repeat procedures and complications. Kim added that costs associated with ablation would increase as the patients' acuity and comorbidities increase.
"A treatment plan for patients with atrial fibrillation should ideally be determined by the individual patient," Kim stated. For example, a "sizeable, number of AF patients can be managed in an outpatient setting--provided they don't have major symptoms."
From a disease management standpoint, Kim et al's study revealed that the largest costs were associated with hospitalization, and a large portion of those costs were related to readmission. "If we could administer safer drugs that would only require outpatient care, it could result in tremendous cost savings," he said.
"Anything that can be done to adequately manage this patient population--from triaging to risk management--to reduce the number of hospitalizations would have a tremendous financial impact to the overall healthcare system," Kim said.

The different hanging positions
I have a question concerning the several different hanging postions done with the Bib Hanger or any hanger really.
Does the postions have to be switched equally? What i mean by this is will too much ots make the dick too out of sync looking or growing?
Will overdoing a certain hanging postion hinder gains in general the other ways? Like make it harder to do otl or btc?
Is there a needed rotation between the postions for best growth?
Does having tough ligs lend a harder time with any of the exercises? Or for that matter loose ligs then?
From what i have read it seems that BTC is the best stressor for length or fastest catalyst for change. But i really have not seen too much work written about the other areas.
Thanks in advance! TT

Losing my best friend was the worst feeling in the world. I always wondered what she was doing and how she was doing but I never went after her. I never took the time to find out how she was doing and that broke my heart into a million pieces. Not only did I lose my best friend but I lost the love of my life.
Now, four years later, I am back in North Carolina and find myself longing to see her smile and feel her touch.
One day, she finally sees me and our eyes connect. The connection is still there. She can still make me weak at the knees and she still holds my heart and soul.
Things are different. She is dating my teammate Kyle and I hate him. Not for dating my Sophia but for being the worst person imaginable. But I vow to make her mine again. Welcome to my mind and life. My story about finally seeing Sophia again and how I will always be holding onto her.
I closed my eyes and thought about her again. I wondered what she was up to now. I slowly got up, turned on the water, got out of my clothes and hopped in. I stood under the water and placed my hands on the shower wall. I kept my head down and thought about the last few months. Things have been weird with Kennedy and I. We haven't had sex in a month and the only time I found release was when I thought about Sophia and her sexy eyes, pouty lips, and perky ass. I knew she was getting upset, but I couldn't tell her that when I looked at her I saw my pretty girl. I struggled with those thoughts daily. Her voice echoed through me and I couldn't get her off of my mind. She was locked inside my memories and there was no closure. There was nothing.
This is the second book in the series and I think it was cool to read the story from Adam's POV.
Adam is in college in Boston with his brother Connor. His best friend and his love is Sophia; they had a falling out and haven't spoken in four years. Even though Adam is dating someone else he isn't in love with her. When something happens to Adam and Connors father they move back home. Adam wants to get back with Sophia but she has a boyfriend.
Despite the fact that Adam knows Sophia has a boyfriend, he still tries to get her to break up with him. Honestly there were some parts of the story were Adam seemed really creepy to me. There were also parts of the story where I felt like the author used the "F" word way too much. It took a lot from the story for me.
Here are a few things that kept it from being higher rated. The book jumps all over the place and is really random in spots. The "dream" sequences are really odd. The book leaves off in an odd spot and assuming everything will be wrapped up in book 3. There are several glaring editing errors.
Adam and Sophia were best friends but when tragedy strikes it's more than Adam can handle and he leaves Sophia alone in the dark.
Four years later, Adam and Sophia are reunited and the sparks between them return but is it too late?
Sophia is happy again and has let go of the darkness. She has great friends and a sweet boyfriend name Kyle. Now that Adam is back how will she be able to balance her boyfriend and her best friend?
The darkness always finds you again but will Adam be able to save her or leave her again?

Because I'm still on vacation until Friday, I've decided to post a piece that I created a couple weeks before I left on my two week trip. I have two upcoming posts delving further into my travels to the west of Canada on the way!
The Police are my favorite band. At least half of my inspiration to make art comes from listening to their albums, so I came up with the idea to take each of my favorite songs and make a digital piece representing how I feel about the song/how the song makes me feel and what I envision as I listen to it.
This project has proven to be much larger than I imagined. I was initially going to post all the images as a series, but now I've realized that finishing the series at the pace that I'm going will take at least a year. My primary artistic concern is the video game art
What I then decided to do was to post each image as soon as I've finished it, and compile them into a series at the end. For each piece I will also include the track, so take a listen if you like!
Inspired by geometric designs of an '80s sweater, —1980 being the year the album Zenyatta Mondatta, which includes this track, was released— funky neon details on a black background oozes the style of the decade and the quirkiness of the light, upbeat tune titled De Do Do Do De Da Da Da.
I created this piece using Sketchbook, my Wacom Intuos tablet as well as Daz 3D to create a profile model, as I am not yet one hundred percent confident in my ability to create faces/bodies completely out of my own mind.
I hope you're having a great morning/afternoon/evening/night!
p.s. I would also like to take this time to quickly thank Christine for nominating me for the Versatile Blog Award a couple weeks ago! Go and check out her blog!

Riley did meet her goal right before Christmas. You can check it out at her blog- www.rileyproject.blogspot.com. It ended up that friends gave enough to finish the first well before we finished the rice and beans so we used the rice and beans money to start our second well. We did the second well together with all of the families that ate rice and beans and we just finished raising the money for that well. Our fundraising site for that well is www.mycharitywater.org/the412project. We don't know where either well will be yet.

Is the project continuing on to a second well? Any details appreciated (sorry for all the Qs!). Thanks & happy Easter!

It was the gaze of Sauniere`s original statue by the church entrance that led Ben Hammott to his first message in a bottle. That find was followed by the discovery of several carved coded stones which pointed to other bottles containing more cryptic notes and diagrams written in red or black ink that had been buried by the priest during his hikes in the mountains. There is a link to these discoveries in a previously known word-grid written by Sauniere called the "Sot + Pecheur" cryptogram. This word-grid was written on red graph-paper as described by Gerard de Sede in his 1967 book "The Gold of Rennes-le-Chateau". The text is framed with a "crown of letters" around the edge of the graph-paper. Some of the notes that Ben found have frames drawn around them as well.
The frame or "crown of letters" around the cryptogram is made up of 22 characters each on the top and the bottom of the frame with 10 letters on either side. 22 is a very significant number in the Kabbalistic science of Gematria, for instance, there are 22 major arcane cards in the Tarot deck. The priest Sauniere was fascinated with Mary Magdalene whose initials "MM" also equal 22.
The "Sot + Pecheur" Pun
"When Bishop de Beausejour succeeded Billard in 1902, he asked Sauniere to explain his income. Sauniere must have known that question would come one day. His reply was that he could not answer it, because it was a "professional secret". Generous sums of money were given to him by "great sinners" - "par des grandes pecheurs". Was he joking with de Beausejour and suggesting it had been given to him by "des grands pecheurs" - "fisherman"? Was it an oblique reference to his famous pun, "Sot + Pecheur"? - quoted from Douzet and Coppens, "The Secret Vault".
Noel Corbu purchased the Villa Bethania from Marie Desnarnaud after the death of Sauniere. Corbu was in contact with a lady clairvoyant who said that a document would be found "in the tabernacle". A search of the church turned up nothing, but years later the "Sot + Pecheur" riddle was discovered in Sauniere`s private altar in the Villa Bethania on April 11, 1966. The document dates from the 1900s period and is based on an earlier one found at Notre Dame de Marceille by Abbe Meche around 1830. Combined with a 64 letter cipher, it turns out to be an invocation of five saints including the two St. Anthonys, St. Magdalene, and St. Sulpice.
The Sot-Pecheur was rolled up wrapped in a page of the Catholic newspaper "La Croix" from 1907 and placed in a hollow bamboo tube sealed with wax at both ends. It was placed behind a loose tile and was finally found by the new owner who had purchased the Villa from Corbu.
Here is the translation of the Sot-Pecheur poem:
"Silly (or stupid, funny, or drunk) fisherman at the mouth of the Rhone, he turned his fish on the grill twice. A devil popped up and tasted it 25 times. Cooked, all that remained was the bone. An angel watched and made a golden comb," signed B.S. Cur.
This poem is linked to a local fable "La Legend du Paigne d` Or" - "The Legend of the Golden Comb".
One theory, #17 by Roger Boonart, deciphers the poem as containing references to "Native Roman gold - Hautpoul deposits - Visigothic treasure - Alaric royal Templars Bezu" - the numbers refer to paces as measurements leading to the location of the treasure.
The little document is 100 X 75 mm. On one side the poem is inscribed in black with the little poem on red graph-paper while the on the other side is written in black the title "Sot-Pecheur". The cryptogram contains the same amount of letters as the Rennes-le-Chateau tombstone of the Marchioness of Blanchfort, but it is not initialed with the PS analogous with the stele, the PS standing for "The Priory of Sion." However, the poem does contain the initials "AA" vertically in the lower left and "GL" on the top of the frame which stand for "AGLA" an organization which descended from the PS through the Compagnie du Saint Sacrement.

I feel lonely. I'm feeling very weak, without his presence. I gain no strength when realizing that he's not around. Meowing and playing in the grass where he used to play.Climbing up the small tree where he used to climb. My dear Po. He's no longer exist. He had gone. Gone forever. Gone with the tears.
Po, he left without me giving him a big last hug and kiss.
My dear Po... I miss you so much!

I'm glad to see new bills are still being introduced.
Perhaps there's a glimmer of hope for my two top priority bills:
- Constitutional Carry (it's the only logical approach)
- Elimination of the inept State Police background check unit (a right delayed is a right denied, and delays are ongoing)
A nice surprise: HB 2340, Delegate Marshall, prohibits state agencies, local governments, or employees thereof from assisting the federal government in any searches, seizures related to firearms, ammunition, or magazines. Also any federal attempt to create a private sale background check requirement will be treated likewise.
It doesn't sound as strong as approaches being considered by states like Wyoming, but still it's nice to see.

New Academy to Improve Health Care for the Spinal Cord Injured
The new organization brings together physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and rehabilitation therapists, and is supported by Paralyzed Veterans of America (Paralyzed Veterans), the veterans service and disabilities rights organization.
"With the right partners, you can achieve anything," said Dr. Terrie Price, the newly-elected President of the Academy.
"Together, our Academy of physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and therapists will collaborate more closely to produce better treatment and quality-of-life outcomes for people living with spinal cord injury/dysfunction."
With the tagline "Many Minds, One Vision," the new Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals (www.ascipro.org) is a merger of the American Association of Spinal Cord Injury Nurses, the American Association of Spinal Cord Injury Psychologists and Social Workers, the American Paraplegia Society, and the Therapy Leadership Council in Spinal Cord Injury.
The new Academy has one vision: a world where people with spinal cord injury are healthier, more independent, and more empowered through a comprehensive lifetime of care to take on all the challenges that life presents.

Well I think I've just about gotten the frog broken in properly, I'm not sure if I've got it dialed in where it fits like a glove just yet, that may take some more time in the saddle. Yesterday I planned to squeeze in 2 separate rides, the first one was plagued by a mechanical, the second one Mother Nature said I'd ridden enough.
After taking this picture it has dawned on me that I don't wash the underside of my saddles properly. I mean look how disgusting it is under there! Oh the horror!
Once home I promptly paid a visit to the receipt drawer to see if I still had the receipt for the broken saddle and I did! Thankfully I purchased it the same day I purchased the AIR9 and to my surprise it was still under warranty.
The black Silverado saddle that I had previously thought about attaching to the frog was bolted in place and the white one was removed. It just so happened that I needed to make a trip over to my LBS to pick up his and her JET9's from getting the brake lines trimmed so with broken saddle in hand I ran out the door.
I got to the shop a bit early and was able to see the entire process of cutting and bleeding the new Shimano XT's, a very simple process indeed, once I procure the proper tools I feel confident I can perform myself. Actually there was no real need to bleed the brakes as the trimming process went flawlessly.

text: I lead five other photographers down into the bowls of Park Station to a passage that once linked the Old Concourse, where the Blue Room is, to the platforms. Here we found old advertising posters dating back from the 1950s. We spent over four hours there photographing the posters and even explored different tunnels. What great fun we had. To see more photos of the trip go the my Facebook album "Dark and Secret 1950s".

Just as there's different positions in sports there's also different positions in league. Knowing how to play your role effectively makes you a very important asset to your team. Remember knowing how to lane isn't everything. In league there are 6 basic different positions:
- AP Carry
- AD Carry
- Bruiser/fighter/Anti-carry
- Tank
- Support
- Assassins
Each position, or role, has it's own task in the fight. You should know how to play your role so you don't end up losing the fight for your team.
Keep in mind there are three "lines" in a team fight. These lines are hypothetical of course but are referred to as the front, middle and back lines. The positions of these lines are not meant to be rigid and exact but rather reference for your position in respect to everyone else's. This just simply means that people in the front line should be in front of the people in the middle line who should be in front of people in the back line.

"Obama brought more goodies for Muslims in the U.S. and around the world in his Ramadan message this year. In it, he claimed that during Ramadan Muslims "provide support to others to advance opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere."
Oh, really?
When have past Ramadans ever resulted in any advancement of "opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere," Mr. President? In reality, it's against Islamic law to give zakat, the almsgiving that is one of the pillars of Islam and is required of every Muslim, to non-Muslims.
That's why Western governmental agencies and Christian charities build and staff schools and hospitals in impoverished parts of Africa and Asia, but oil-rich Muslim countries have never undertaken similar endeavors. With the sharp divide in Islam between believers and unbelievers, such that Muslims are commanded to be "merciful to one another, but ruthless to the unbelievers" (Koran 48:29), there is no basis in Islamic law for the idea that Islam fosters the advance of "opportunity and prosperity for people everywhere."

Klimkin pointed out the important problem.
After the disappearance from the territory of Belarus Ukrainian Pavel Mushroom for Ukrainian citizens came the risk of exposure not only on Russian territory.
According to the head of the foreign Ministry, Russia's intelligence agencies are consistently working against the Ukrainian people. However, the situation with the kidnapping of 19-year-old Ukrainian demonstrates that the Russian security services operate in Belarus.
"Now we have a situation where we see that the Russian intelligence services are also active in Belarus, and I believe that Ukrainian citizens have to weigh how to go there," said Klimkin.
Recall that in the Belarusian city of Gomel Pavel Mushroom 24 Aug kidnapped by people in mufti, handcuffed, and transferred to others who brought him to the police station in Russia.

While talking to the pilots, I met Mrs. M., a science teacher for the St. Mary's School in Goldsboro. After talking to her for a bit, she invited us to give our talk to her school the following Monday morning -- only three days in the future!
On Monday, we spoke to about 80 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders – the first time we had ever spoken to a mixed age group. It was pretty difficult to come up with a talk that would interest the older kids without boring the younger ones (and vice-versa). We weren't perfect, but I think we managed to do okay.
See this gallery for photos of schoolchildren and pilots admiring the car:

A few updates:
Now that our presentation has gotten kicked around by several audiences, we are pretty close to publishing all our slides on the website for anyone to see (one of the many, many things we are working on for the website).
Speaking of the website, you may have noticed a few changes – we are working to streamline things while expanding the number articles we have available.

I never thought that we were supposed to love ourselves. I always associated that with all those people that were conceited and all about how they looked and acted in front of others. This really showed me differently. Mary S. used Psalm 139:13-14 which says, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well".
That verse alone should give us reason to love ourselves. And I don't mean to the point of being conceited and "above everyone else". God says that kind of self-love is a sin and that is not what is being talked about here. The kind of love we are to have for ourselves is the love and joy to know that we are made wonderfully and beautifully by our great God! He has made each one of us beautiful in His eyes and He wants us to care for the body and health that He has given us. And we have to love ourselves enough to care for that. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we need to take care of it. And if we don't have that kind of self-love that God wants us to have for ourselves then we won't bother to or want to take care of the way He made us! Doing this is in obedience to the greatest commandments that God gave us in Matthew 22:37-38, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself" Yes, it's part of Jesus' commandment! That alone should make it our desire to obey!! Mary Southerland ended her devotional in a great little paragraph, "You can judge the value and the worth of a product by looking at the one who made it. You are no accident. You were created by God - for God - and even if you were never wanted or planned by human heart and mind, you were planned and wanted by God. So, love your neighbor and while you are at it, love yourself!"
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Are you ready to meet Rage?
Now is your chance!

They call me Rage.
My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.
I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I'm capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every day.
You see, I'm a girl. I'm nineteen.
And I'm a killer.
This life is all I know. It s all I want to know. It keeps the s**t buried that I need kept buried. It allows me to live without thinking too much.
Without dwelling on the past.
Until him.
It all changes when an ordinary boy becomes my next target.
And my first love.
I have to choose.
The only life I ve ever known has to die, or he does.
Either way, I ll be the one pulling the trigger...
All the Rage is a STANDALONE
It was once said that if you love someone enough you should let them go. If they come back to you, they were always meant to be yours.
It's kind of bullshit.
My story was a little different than most. I was a little different than most.
Because in my story, if you love someone enough, you should first drop the gun.
What I love about T.M. Frazier's books is that you NEVER know what to expect. Even if you think you have an idea of what's coming, you don't. There's no way to anticipate every twist and turn and even get close to what goes on in the story.
All the Rage is no different in that way, but it is unique in other ways. I LOVE Rage, I liked the glimpses of her in Soulless, and grew to love her even more in this book.
Rage knew all her life she was different, she knew what made her different and as a result she made moves within her life to be who she was, while trying not to let it show to those she cared about (namely her parents). She's satisfied with her life the way it is, loves what she does until she's on a case that somehow means more to her and causes her to think things over.
Rage lacks the component needed to have feelings, she doesn't grasp the full emotion of caring or happiness or sadness - she's just not wired that way. It doesn't make her inherently bad, it just is. I love that she's not apologetic about who she is and what she does, because it shows a strength that most probably wouldn't understand. I love how it all changes for Rage - how she finally finds something that stirs new thoughts in her.
Nolan is an amazing character too, so much more than you would have expected when you first discover Rage is watching him for information. There are untold depths to the young man, and something about him calls out to Rage. Frazier pulls out all sorts of twists with Nolan, and he turns out to be so much more than you'd guess. I loved the interactions between these two, because it was surprising and unique but ultimately it just worked, they just simply fit together.
Frazier has a way of pulling the reader into stories, and attaching them to characters so that they feel the story, but more than that, they care what happens to the characters. Better still, she makes you LOVE characters that in any other setting or story would be the villain, the bad guy, the one you should dislike above all. I love that I know before diving into a Frazier story that I'm going to be taken on a wild, twisty, ride that is going to thrill me while also making me feel and that I'm going to do it all without knowing at all what will hit me next.

The US Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged in response to worries about the global economy, financial market volatility and sluggish inflation at home, but it left open the possibility of a modest policy tightening later this year.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen said developments in a tightly linked global economy had, in effect, forced the US central bank's hand.
However, James Sproule, the chief economist at the Institute of Directors, described the Fed's decision as "disappointing".
He added: "The big question now is how the Bank of England responds. The IoD continues to believe that this prolonged period of ultra-loose monetary policy should be called to an end sooner rather than later. The Bank of England appears reluctant to act before the Federal Reserve."
Iain Clacher, an associate professor at Leeds University Business School, said: "The IOD's view that both the Fed and the Bank of England are being overly cautious is correct.
"The monetary policy toolbox is pretty much empty just now and the one thing history has taught us, is that you cannot beat economic fundamentals – interest rates will have to rise."

Sacrificed is available NOW! Check out some of the teaser-ific moments below!!
Teaser #1:
"You're an eating machine with all that food, Riley. You know, they say after college, your metabolism slows down quite a bit. You should be more careful," I teased him as I pulled out my chair from under the dining room table.
He wrinkled his nose before tugging his shirt up to show off his well-defined six-pack. "Have you seen me lately? Come on now, Ariya! I've got plenty of time before this bod has to worry about struggling to stay in shape."
I threw a biscuit at him for his boastful display, which made Caroline giggle. It was the first normal thing the three of us had done together in what felt like forever.
I continued grinning while listening to Caroline tease Riley as he shoveled huge mounds of food into his mouth.
"Ours?" We stopped laughing upon hearing Nick's urgent tone.
My gaze shot over to him, wondering what he could have been referring to. James was looking steadily back at him and nodded. Less than ten seconds later, the doors to our hotel room flew open.
I gasped, jumping right out of my seat and shoving my chair back harder than I meant to as James casually walked around to block me. He didn't look frightened, or even alarmed at all by the intrusion. I instinctually reached for his back and rested my hands there.
A tall man dressed in all black walked through the doors rather arrogantly with his hands clasped behind his back, halting in front of James.
"James Rymer, you've been officially relieved of your duties as Protector of the current Bloodline Member, Ariya Adams. You have to come with me immediately."
Teaser #2:
Stillness. Calm. Peace. Amidst images of war and fighting, I looked all around me and yet, all I could feel was a quiet calm. There should have been noise. There should have been terrible, dreadful sounds. I could see the death, hear the shouting, and observe the pain and struggle. But, there was nothing to it. I could not even hear the sound of my own breathing. That is, I think I was breathing.
The images around me were blurry, but I knew I was in a dangerous place. Figures came in and out of my vision, clearing briefly and allowing me to see a face in one moment, then completely vanishing in the next. Slowly, my eyes focused until I could see my friends running towards me, fear reflected in their eyes, as if they were witnessing the worst possible scenario in front of them. It made no sense. They were looking at me with panic-stricken faces, but I was somehow away from the danger surrounding me. Nothing could touch me.
I admired the elegance with which the three of them moved as they fought. Nick and James warded off the hostile wolves like it was all a horrific yet beautifully choreographed dance number. They moved in sync with each other, but always kept their eyes on me. Not once did a wolf manage to break their collective stride.
James ended the eerie dance, moving rapidly towards my peaceful bubble. I smiled as I looked at him, wanting him to be as safe as I was.
I started to take a step closer to him, but was stopped. I could not move. A slow trickle of sensation traveled down my arms until my body froze like ice. I frowned, failing to comprehend the unfamiliar feeling as I looked down to see where the touch was coming from. A hand held me in place. I shivered. There was only one person who could manage to chill my body like that with her touch, freezing it like ice.
She smiled as I turned to look at her, and I caught the unmistakable gleam of victory in her eyes. She twirled a knife in front of my face as I tried to move away again, this time with more alarm, only to be gripped tighter.
Loud noises finally flooded into my ears. All the tortured screams and battle cries I once thought I managed to avoid came rushing in.
Audrey grabbed my chin, tilting my eyes to meet hers.
"You were never meant to survive," she hissed, thrusting her knife into my side as I screamed.

MILAN, ITALY — Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Wednesday left the hospital where he had been undergoing heart tests after fainting during a rally last week.
"Everything's fine," the 70-year-old politician and media mogul was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency. "Maybe I'll have to limit my commitments since I made too much of an effort in the week before."

New McLaren design ace imparts flavour of Red Bull
Peter Prodromou, formerly Adrian Newey's right-hand man, gives the McLaren MP4-30 an Alonso-pleasing familiar new look
Fernando Alonso spent a considerable amount of time at the Jerez test deep in conversation with McLaren's new chief engineer, Peter Prodromou, the team's star signing from Red Bull.
Prodromou worked as Adrian Newey's righthand man for the best part of two decades, rst at McLaren and then at Red Bull, after Newey insisted Prodromou come with him as part of the package when he joined the Milton Keynes-based team in 2006.
As such, Prodromou knows all the secrets that have made the Red Bull cars so competitive over the past six years – as well as those of the racewinning McLarens of the early- to mid-2000s.
Alonso tried to secure a drive with Red Bull during the summer of 2014, and got a long way down the line with team boss Christian Horner and Newey, only for Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz to insist they take Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo, a graduate of the energy drink rm's driver development scheme.
But the signs are that Alonso has now effectively got his hands on a Red Bull, only one that has been built by McLaren. There are Red Bull signatures all over McLaren's MP430. These start at the front wing, which has a very similar multi-element design aimed at consistent stable downforce. This replaces the type of wing favoured by McLaren over the past couple of years, which had fewer elements and created more downforce, but was more prone to instability-inducing stall.
The top nose shape is also similar to that of last year's Red Bull, and the shrink-wrapped rear bodywork – what McLaren call their 'size zero' car – is shaped like a Red Bull, only more tightly wrapped around what is clearly a very neatly and carefully designed Honda engine.
Alonso was very positive about the new McLaren's behaviour in Jerez, more so than Jenson Button, who found its balance not quite to his liking. If the Honda engine is any good, will it also show a Red Bull-style winning turn of pace? It would hardly come as a surprise.
Alonso (left) wanted to get his hands on a Red Bull, and Prodromou (right) was only too happy to oblige
