We are excited to open in a thriving market like Orlando, with all of its hospitality venues, our specialty. It's the world's largest vacation destination, with over 59 million visitors a year.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) December 16, 2015
Prakas & Co, a boutique commercial real estate brokerage led by A. Tom Prakas out of Boca Raton, announces an exciting expansion into the Orlando market.
At the helm will be new Operating Partner for Central and North Florida, James Layson. With over 25 years experience in hospitality investments, Layson has already been tapped to repurpose iconic Church Street Station as a vibrant restaurant and entertainment district.
Layson says, "we are focusing our efforts on bringing unique concepts new to the area, such as our recent lease execution of rising culinary star, Chef Jason Schofield's new craft and artisan concept: Maddey's Craft and Cru. We are also close to finalizing a lease that is sure to bring notoriety to Church Street Station. Interest is at an all-time high since its glory days as one of the leading entertainment districts in the country."
Ranked 4th among the largest US metro areas and 1st in projected population growth, Orlando is the hub of central Florida's finance and commerce industries and home to an ever-growing technology presence. That means more opportunities for a firm like Prakas & Co and potential investors.
"The Orlando real estate market is about to explode, similar to what Atlanta has experienced over the last five years," says Layson.
Prakas & Co plans to bring to Orlando the unique industry understanding that they've already pioneered in the South Florida market. The team there has sold or leased more than 450 restaurants and commercial properties in the past 15 years. Most notably, they were behind the entrance of Danny Devito and Dwayne Wade into the Florida restaurant scene.
Along with becoming the exclusive brokers for Crocker Partners Boca Center and other major properties, the firm has recently closed on some of the largest restaurant deals in South Florida.
The first was the 15,000 SF lease of the space housing former Miami Beach landmark China Grill, owned by Jules Trump and Partners, to Buckhead Life Restaurant Group, owners of Chops Lobster Bar. Secondly, the team handled Falcone Group's sale of the Paramount Oceanfront restaurant site in Fort Lauderdale to LM Restaurant Group. And just last month, Prakas handled the acquisition of Shucker's Island Beach oceanfront restaurant by a publicly-traded hospitality group.
Prakas says, "We are excited to open in a thriving market like Orlando, with all of its hospitality venues, our specialty. It's the world's largest vacation destination, with over 59 million visitors a year. Having Jim on our team as our Central Florida partner is a big plus."
Layson's career has focused on entertainment districts in thriving urban markets across the US. Prakas & Co will be expanding on his experience as an industry leader in the Entertainment and Hospitality arena.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but in the case of search engines, quality is in the eye of the search engine algorithm.
Recently, Google released a document called the Search Quality Rater's Guidelines. Essentially, it's Google's detailed guide to assessing the quality of websites. Human experts use the guide to analyze the quality of a group of websites and Google uses that data to judge how their algorithms are doing.
Usually this would just be dismissed as bedtime reading for nerds like us, but this document is different. It provides an unprecedented look at how Google thinks of website quality. It's a road map for how to get on Google's good side — something all central New Hampshire business websites need to do.
Not sure you want to read all 160 pages of the Search Quality Rater's Guidelines? Don't worry! We've read it for you. Here's what Google thinks makes for wicked good web content:
- Expertise / Authoritativeness / Trustworthiness
- Supplementary Content
- Focused Page Design
- Security
OK, so let's take each of these individually…
Expertise / Authoritativeness / Trustworthiness
In short, this means that effective websites provide solid expertise and contain content from trustworthy sources. Sounds obvious, right? Well, it's worth asking yourself if your website sends strong signals of your domain expertise and trustworthiness.
Wicked Good Website expertise and trustworthiness checklist:
- Are your credentials or company history available?
- Are the bios/CVs of your team easy to find?
- Do you offer information that might be helpful to your clients that goes beyond location and pricing? (This blog is a good example of this.)
- Do you have a FAQ where customer questions are asked and answered?
- Does your brand show signals of expertise across the accessible web?
Supplementary Content
Offering site visitors supporting content in a sidebar or footer is critical to providing a rich web experience. Something similar to the 'if you enjoy this, perhaps you'd be interested in this' approach. If your business doesn't naturally generate much web-friendly content, consider linking to external well-established (trusted) content sources.
Focused Page Design
Once again it sounds obvious, but take another look at your home/landing page with a critical eye for clutter:
It's crucial that your primary call-to-action is sitting front and center, above the fold. Sliders and an abundance of photos are a distraction that lessens the impact of your content. Are ads clamoring for your site visitor's attention? Is your site footer stuffed with badges, associations, and awards? If so, consider moving this stuff to an internal page.
If your website accepts potentially sensitive data (through forms and/or a web store) security is critical. Web users now expect to see the familiar green security padlock when sharing private information online — especially when their credit card is involved. As important, web browser will soon be warning users by default when they are visiting sites that are not secure. If you haven't already, consider getting and maintaining an SSL certificate through your web host.
Get There Gradually…
If your New Hampshire business website is suffering in these areas, don't despair! The web is a constantly evolving medium. Consider each guideline separately and take action in tiny increments. Small adjustments like these can make a huge difference to Google's search engine algorithms!
Drop us a line and tell us about it.
We'd love to hear from you!

Doctor insights on:
Multiloculated Ganglion Cyst
What is a ganglion cyst?
Inflamed tendon: Tendons run in sheaths, similar to the cables on a bicycle. Sometimes a minor trauma can cause the sheath to become inflamed and a small cyst can pop up.

If it is bothering you, see your doc about removing it. ...Read more
Cyst (Definition)
A cyst is a structure or mass that consists of a cellular lined sac. It is typically filled with fluid but may be filled with solid material. It can be congenital, traumatic, or acquired.

Thanks for Meals on Wheels volunteers
Usually more accustomed to delivering meals to others, MHA Care Meals on Wheels volunteers instead enjoyed being treated to a special thank-you lunch in their honour last week.
The National Meals on Wheels Day luncheon provided an opportunity to thank those who take time out to deliver daily meals to members of the community, enabling them to continue living independently in their own homes.
MHA Care CEO Michael Hogan thanked the volunteers for their valuable contribution to the Meals on Wheels Program in Yarrawonga.
"In the last twelve months the Yarrawonga volunteer team has delivered 10,909 main meals to 100 clients," Mr Hogan said.
"An amazing effort and highlights the strong community spirit in Yarrawonga.
"Across the Moira Shire our volunteer team has delivered 28,510 main meals to 310 clients."
Mr Hogan said there was no doubt Meals on Wheels was "more than just a meal".
"We nourish – by providing a meal deliv- ered to your door, we care – by ensuring our clients are safe and have a well-being check and we strengthen communities – by offering a service that brings people together – locals helping locals," he said.
"National Meals on Wheels Day is the ideal occasion to recognise, pay tribute and congratulate you our volunteers whose commitment and support is immeasurable.
"Without you we would not be able to provide this important essential community service."
Through the support of the Yarrawonga Community Opportunity Shop, ClubMulwala and the Federal Government Volunteer grant, MHA Care presented petrol vouchers as a thank-you to the to the volunteers in recognition of their time and costs.
Mr Hogan thanked ClubMulwala for their continued support of the program and for hosting the thank-you luncheon.
If you, your community group or business would like to be part of Meals on Wheels call MHA Care Volunteer Co-ordinator Lorraine Northeast on 5742 1111.
O'Meara Kennedy Meals on Wheels volunteers Narelle, Megan, Danielle and Chris at the thank-you luncheon.

Yep, because there is no context passed to the SAX api functions, and because the order of the calls is significant, classes utilising the SAX api can never be inherently thread safe. You could synchronize on the component before starting to use it, which would stop anyone else interfering with it until you'd finished, but this will hold up the pipelines.

Overall pretty nice pad. Kinda pricey but not too bad. I ordered these along with new EBC rotors for my 06 silverado 1500 LT 5.3 V8. They originally sent the wrong rotors so I had to wait to try them out. Had them on for about week and and I do feel a tighter grip when I tap the brakes. Waiting to see how they will be when they are fully bedded. So far though, i'm pleased.

Hi loves ♥
I can't believe we are halfway through July! Since relocating to Colorado, everything seems to start early and end early- school is no exception. Since I am a nanny to my cousins, I'm hyper-aware of when school starts- we only have a month left until they go back! I feel like they just got out of school. However, since going back to school season will be upon my family soon, I've gotten into the idea that a few back to school posts wouldn't go amiss here or there.
Today, I was perusing my local Target (surprise, right?), and I couldn't help but see things like planners, pencil pouches, and backpacks being displayed front and center. This got me thinking- what would I do to jazz up my school supplies, and more importantly- what would I bring with me to school?
Let's start with 2 super easy ways to spruce up some basic stationary.
We all need a pencil sharpener, so why not take a 50cent one and wrap some washi tape around it to make it yours? Not only will you be able to cover up any unsightly labels, but you will definitely recognize your sharpener when you see it. This works for pens, pencils, calculators, books, and notebooks!
Speaking of notebooks...
Use a notebook as a planner! Now, you'll know that I love to plan, but for someone on a budget, maybe a $15-$80 (yes! $80! I am looking at you, Erin Condren) for a planner may just not really fit in. Instead, you can grab a $2 notebook, and with some washi, pens, markers, stickers- or really just anything you have to hand, you can create an easy and pretty planner to help organize your days!
I also picked up this fold-able wallet at Target. I figured it would be easy for those of you who have bus passes or metro cards to slip it in and hook it to your bag for easy scanning access! It's also just great for those of you who don't have space for a huge wallet and can make do with a few cards, as well as a big of space for a few keys.
My last essentials for school would be hand sanitizer to keep you healthy and clean, lotion for dry cuticles and hands, chapstick for soothing uncomfortable chapped lips, and a big bottle for water since it's so easy to get dehydrated during school!
Well, there's a few of my school essentials. Of course, it's been a couple years since I was in school, but these are the types of things I would bring with me!
What back to school essentials are in your backpack?

Don't act too surprised, but it turns out nearly every college professor at the top liberal arts colleges are…wait for it…liberal. James Mietus of CampusReform.org reports that statistics provided by U.S. News and World Report found that 47 professors from America's top 50 liberal arts colleges had donated to a presidential candidate. Conservatives may not be very surprised to hear ... Read More »

Jerry Seinfeld is sick of liberal PC culture
Jerry Seinfeld is hardly a stalwart of conservative ideals, but he knows liberal BS when he sees it. The iconic comedian recently admitted to ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd that he no longer bothers to do concerts at colleges, because young people have turned into a bunch of politically correct douchebags: "I don't play colleges but I hear a lot ...

California Wants Proof Of Pre-Sex Consent
The feminist agenda has long promoted the "my body, my choice" agenda. But that slogan seems strangely at odds with California's SB 967, the affirmative consent law. It's been nicknamed "yes means yes", a supposedly less ambiguous law than "no means no". It is being applied to all publicly-funded universities within the state of California. An agenda that ...

Nothing Pisses Off Feminists Like Preventing Date Rape
By: Katrina Jorgensen Recently, a group of (male) students created a pretty impressive new product: a nail polish that can detect the presence of multiple drugs (the kind used for date-rape) in a drink. When I read about the polish I thought, what a great, discreet means of protection! Not to mention, a useful thing to have on hand (literally) at a ... Read More »

The team managed to fill over 130 bags of rubbish, collected
from the iconic courses and grounds of the Club. Volunteers
included colleagues from all areas of the club such as teams
from food and beverage, golf operations and the central
reservations and recreation staff, the clean up team also included
Golf Professionals, Andrew Whitelaw - General Manager and
Christopher May -Chief Executive Officer.
The staff met in the early hours of the morning on a very hot
day and were grouped into teams and assigned areas to collect
rubbish from. Following the clean up operation the volunteers
were all rewarded with a big breakfast cooked by the Club's
culinary team.
Andrew Whitelaw, General Manager of Emirates Golf Club
commented, "The Emirates Golf Club clean up took place as one of
the initiatives to support our 25th anniversary. Emirates
Golf Club has been the pioneer of golf in the Middle East, we are

The role of the Governing Body is to set Queen's Manor's aims and objectives and agree, monitor and review policies, targets and procedures. It takes a strategic role, acting as a critical friend to the School and provides both challenge and support to school leaders to ensure that children are receiving the best opportunities and achieving the best outcomes.
The Governing Body meets once per term, prior to a full meeting of the Brightwells Trust Board. Governors have specific links within the school (a class and a subject) so that they are well informed and part of the school improvement cycle.
The Governing Body is currently comprised of three Co-opted Governors, two Parent Governors, one Staff Governor and the Headteacher.
Minutes of Full Governing Body (FGB) meetings are available on request from the Clerk of Governors via the school office.
To contact Governors please email:
We currently have the following committees that meet regularly, as well as others as required.
Finance, Premises and H&S Committee
This committee drafts the budget plan for the financial year, annually reviews benchmarking data, ensures the school operates within the Financial Regulations of the Local Authority, makes decisions on service agreements and on expenditure following recommendations from other committees. It aims to ensure that Health and Safety issues are appropriately prioritised and drafts the School Pay Policy.
Curriculum, Pupils, Parents and the Community Committee
This committee ensures the National Curriculum is taught to all pupils, sets targets for and monitors pupil attendance, reviews and adopts policies for Collective Worship and Sex Education, ensures requirements for children with special needs are met and overseas arrangements for individual governors to take a lead role in specific areas of provision e.g. literacy, numeracy, SEN.
Personnel, Performance and Pay Committee
This committee oversees the staffing structure of the school in line with the School Development Plan. It recruits the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher and reviews their salaries and those of other staff in line with performance reviews and the School Pay Policy.

Consumer digital companies such as Airbnb, Uber and Netflix are changing the way consumers interact and behave. These disrupters are shaking up the marketplace and adapting and responding to customer needs far quicker than their enterprise counterparts. So as a business, if you're not prepared to build for disruption, you'll be left behind.
Digital transformation is also high on the agenda of governments with the Australian Federal government allocating an extra $70.1 million over the next four years in its recent federal budget, enabling its Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) to deliver new digital platforms for the government.
While enterprises such as those in the banking and airline sectors are on the road to digitally transforming their organisations, they are often less agile and take longer to roll out such projects in part due to the size of the organisation. Customisation, differentiation and speed are key factors in winning over customers.
So how can enterprises adapt to compete in this ever-changing landscape?
Work smart when you create an app or website. Instead of building your own ecosystem, leverage existing ones and team up with current brands and companies as well as their channels to do this instead of creating your own.
There are three things you need to consider.
Firstly, it's crucial that you build your business identity. With 80 per cent of the world's consumer digital market comprising of only a handful of apps, namely Facebook and Google, the first step you need to take is to align yourself with a side (Windows Live, Facebook, Google etc.) and make sure your platform is compatible across these.
Identify your core strengths and leverage those strengths to venture one degree beyond your traditional business boundary. In other words, what are non-compete businesses that compliment your core business and could add value to your overall proposition if you partnered? Good examples of this are the moves the supermarket chains have made into financial services or the retail giants who are partnering with transport and logistics companies.
You don't need to own every customer experience. You need to focus on your core and not waste time and money building something when you can buy it. For example, don't build CRM, use existing solutions. Only if there's no de facto then you should become it.
Be pragmatic and work with what you've got — API and microservices — are the new technologies you should be using as these solutions have the ability to be implemented quickly and effortlessly. This will be how you stay agile and tackle disruption.
Secondly, integrate voice technology as much as possible. Artificial Intelligence in voice is starting to take off and it's easy to have a parrot that can mimic back at you but what if it can be predictive? By using machine learning, voice technology can learn from situations and data and, in time, respond to customers as well as a call centre operator.
The consumer space is moving quickly in this arena but enterprises are still slow on the up take. However, Air New Zealand is now doing this very effectively, using chatbots to enable customers to book flights.
And lastly, consider implementing shards which is similar to notifications on steroids. Shards can provide a highly contextual, personalised, 'out-of-app' experience. If you can condense the key things you need to get a response out of, then users don't need to use the mobile app. Once you combine this with intelligent voice technology, you can condense it even more. Eventually, you reach a point where consumers can say 'Check me into my flight' and the action is complete.
By combining 'Identity', 'Voice' and 'Shards', enterprises can build disruptive platforms. Customers will be able to say, "Can I have more milk, eggs and cheese?" to their mobile and get their groceries delivered the next day.
Only enterprises that customise, anticipate and respond to customers quickly can gain marketshare and survive.

Natural dietary supplements help lower blood glucose for diabetics
The study, published in the Journal of Nutrition and Dietary Supplements, monitored how well biologically active supplements such as fenugreek, fennel, cinnamon, olive and sage and other ingredients were able to reduce blood glucose levels. It screened 154 patients for type 2 diabetes and poor glycaemic control from June 2008 to July 2009, assessing patients for a six-month period involving a placebo phase followed by 14 weeks where they were given active supplements before being observed.
The participants then went back to active supplement use for another three weeks, with their fasting blood glucose levels being tested every week throughout the study. After seven weeks of supplement use, fasting blood glucose levels had been reduced by 47 per cent as compared to the baseline reading, and by 59 per cent by week 17. Between weeks 18 and 20, when no placebo or supplements were taken, blood glucose levels did not go down.
The research team revealed that the new biologically active dietary supplements were effective in lowering blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes patients with no apparent side effects .

Franken: Lost in Space
Decidedly Devious is pretty pigmented on its own (it's nearly a one-coater for me), but the clear base in Piñata jellied it up enough that I needed three coats of the franken for full coverage. Since it was sheer-ish, I experimented on my ring finger with two coats of the franken followed by one of Piñata followed by one more of the franken. It turned out that the layering didn't look too different from the franken on its own; a bit more glitter density, perhaps.
I'm really happy with the depth to this, the glitter submerged in the deep blue at different levels. It reminded me of stars and planetarium shows, so I named it Lost in Space.
I don't have Deborah Lippmann's Forget You (yet) but based on swatches I've seen of it, this franken is its cousin—the glitter is a lot more dense in the Lippman, and the base is true black.

Road Trip Day 17: 8th June 2007
West of Coolgardie is the Eastern end of the Great Eastern Highway. The road to Perth, Western Australia. When Rose and I turned into our motel last night the car headlights had picked out some curious characters across the road. Before heading off the next morning we just had to investigate.
Rose and I have been sticking with Central Standard Time (rather than change to Western Standard Time) in order to get earlier starts. This meant we had plenty of time to have a quick wander around, what turned out to be 'Ben Prior's Park', an outdoor museum featuring many historical machines and characters from the early gold rush days of the Coolgardie region.
One such character was this prospector, A.P. Brophy and his camel 'Misery'. Brophy is remembered for claiming the world record for riding his camel 600 miles without giving it a single drink back in 1895.
There are other characters in this museum but the majority of the display is old steam engines, wagons, farming tools, cars and more. All of which form a part of a collection owned by the late Ben Prior who was a long time resident of the town.
One particular character, who must surely be out of place, is this likeness of 'Ned Kelly' the famous Australian Bush ranger (unless Coolgardie had a copy cat bush ranger?). I suspect (though I'm only speculating) that this Ned Kelly may have been used at the BP service station across the road before being replaced by the Ned Kelly that is proudly displayed on the roof (see photo below) - there is something of a likeness in their construction.
The rest of our day was taken with driving. We had somewhere around 590 kilometres to get through so the only stop we made was to have lunch at a roadhouse in Merredin.
Since this is my last post about driving there are one or two things I like to rant about:
1. If you're a truck driver being over taken by a car using a lane specifically designated as an overtaking lane. If that car is more than two thirds past you and the overtaking lane is running out, try easing up on the accelerator just a bit. Seriously. Would it kill you to slow down just a touch so the car can finish passing safely? I know it's not that hard to slow down vehicle's that large. I should 'cause I've followed behind road trains long enough to know exactly how much time is needed to slow down just a few kilometres per hour. It's not that long at all.
2. If you're a truck driver being over taken by a car, where there is no overtaking lane and the road is narrow and has rough edges, would it kill you to slow down a bit? Especially if your rig is being bumped around by strong cross winds, would it kill you?
3. If you're a truck driver stop pushing car drivers into unsafe practices simply because you have to travel at the maximum speed for trucks at all times regardless when hauling goods long distances. Would it kill you to slow down a bit?
4. If you're a truck driver, don't go commenting on my above rants. All car drivers are reckless, dangerous and should be banned from driving. I know - you don't need to list all the stupid things we do. Just slow down a bit and maybe next time I won't nearly crash into the side of your damn truck!
The only other thing I wanted to mention was that there is a heck of a lot of 'roadkill' on the WA side of Eyre Highway. Maybe it's just because it's such a large stretch of natural wilderness? Dead kangaroos were most common but I also saw a dingo and maybe a few other animals too (couldn't tell what they were after they'd been hit. Too small to be roos though).
The sea gulls of the desert (crows) were a bit of a worry too. All along the highway there were crows on the side of the road waiting for free lunch.
Rose and I finally got to Perth and pulled into her home just as the sun was going down. It was definitely good to finally be finished travelling for a while. I'll be staying in Perth for about a week before catching a plane back to South Australia.
The trip isn't quite over yet.

Traded some corals for a nicer and larger skimmer. This thing barely fit, so I took the lid off and used a flatter piece of plastic in its place. So far,
All donations to the frag tank are appreciated. It all goes back into the club.
Exciting to see another build thread. Following along.
Hard to tell. Usually when a coral starts to receed they are a goner. But I have seen plates do this and end up popping out several babies. Just keep
For the past CPL days Mary has noticed more and more skeleton showing.....is her plate dying? Or is this normal?
Sent from my SM-N920T using

|Alra Priestess
|← Alra Prison
|Dorothy →
|HP (Normal):
|Priestess Hair, Priestess Foot, Priestess Bust, Priestess Mouth, Intoxicating Fragrance, Queen's Foot Hell, Ivy Restraint, Queen's Semen Sucking
|Plansect Village
|Appears in:
|Chapter 2 & 3
Alra Priestess is the leader and later; queen of the Alraune side of Plansect Village entrusted by Monster Lord Alipheese XIV (Fourteenth). However, she staged a war between Queen Bee and her insects, with the desire of conquering and devouring them.
After Luka saves Alra Rooty and Alra Arum, they take him to meet the Alra Priestess where he joins (or as Alice later puts it, "seduced") their cause, unaware of their true nature. Alra Priestess plans to send her army to what will appear to be a "final confrontation" while Luka moves in to assassinate Queen Bee.
However, even with the leader of the insects defeated, the plants celebrate by oppressing their foes and devouring them, betraying and having used Luka for their cause. Luka begins to aid the insects by defeating their oppressors. He marches back to Alra Priestess who reveals that she has no intention of ending the war. Luka seals her, then the Canaan Sisters, thus ending the war once and for all. The pacifists of the village then unseal the defeated monsters and tries to establish peace and order; the unsealed Alra Priestess apologizes and promises to not start another war ever again.
After the ordeal at Plansect Village is done and over with, Luka can revisit the village to get Alra Priestess to forge the Jewel of Friendship for him, as long as he has the Fairy Acorn and Nekomata's Bell.
In Chapter 3, she is officially made Queen Alraune by her predecessor when she refuses to exterminate the insects when pressured.
Monsterpedia Entry
"A plant monster that's also the leader of the Plantforest plant race. Though she is powerful enough to be called leader, she is not as strong as the mercenary Canaan Sisters.
Though she speaks politely, she is extremely prideful, and considers herself above touching men. When squeezing men for semen, she prefers using either her feet or ivy, so as not to dirty herself.
In addition, she is heartless towards those she considers enemies. If the enemy is a human male, she will squeeze out his semen until he dies. Despite her appearance as a little girl, she is quite brutal."
Priestess Hair: Normal attack. Will trigger hair bukkake on loss.
Priestess Foot: Normal attack. Will trigger foot and leg bukkake on loss.
Priestess Bust: Normal attack. Will trigger chest bukkake on loss.
Priestess Mouth: Normal attack. Will trigger mouth bukkake on loss.
*Intoxicating Fragrance: Triggers trance status.
Queen's Foot Hell: Triggers bind status and deals damage.
*Ivy Restraint: Triggers bind status and leads to Queen's Semen Sucking on the next turn.
Queen's Semen Sucking: Binded attack with drain properties that leads to a one-hit KO via instant follow-up.
*Non-requestable technique
Battle Overview
Even as a boss/leader, she is not particularly powerful; she even admits she's not as strong as her soldiers. Thus, the battle can be a cakewalk with Sylph to avoid her Intoxicating Fragrance and most of her attacks. Afterwards, bum rush her with Death Sword Chaos Star and she should soon go down.
Once her health reaches the halfway mark, she stops using Priestess Hair and Priestess Foot and begins using Priestess Bust and Priestess Mouth, as well as Ivy Restraint which results in Queen's Semen Sucking on the next turn which results a one-hit KO via instant follow-up.
If Luka loses, Alra Priestess uses her ivy to suck his semen until his death.
"Falling in love with a flower, and offering it semen of your own free will? My, my. Aren't you just a lovely human being? The plant monster leader is quite powerful herself. As expected of a plant monster, she has both restraining and trance inducing abilities. The Intoxicating Fragrance ability is quite dangerous. It lasts for a long time, so taking it may just finish you off. Sylph will protect you from that, so she is crucial in this fight. In addition, if that flower clasps around you, your defeat is certain. Neither Gnome nor Sylph will be able to stop your loss. Now go, oh brave Luka. There are still more enemies to deal with, so don't let your guard down..."

There are no criteria. The so-called criteria are merely subjective classifications of mental illness, usually based on symptoms alone. Who decided that people who have those symptoms are ill? Doctors. There are some schools of thought in the field that claim that there are no mental illnesses as such.I don't know enough about the science of it to comment on that. I assume there are specific criteria necessary in order to diagnose a mental illness, otherwise it wouldn't be a science. But I don't know what those criteria are. — JustSomeGuy
Anyway, was just wondering if the context, and/or object orientation played any role in how you view Tao Te Ching, and if it relates in any way to how you view depression. — Coldlight
What this misses is the personality type that feels crowded by others. A person can get beyond the need for that abstract audience. I suppose most of us will still want at least a single lover or a single friend. But a few of us could probably be pretty happy alone on a space station for years even, as long as the cultural stain of others was accessible. (Books, movies, etc.)It fosters a faux unity in the hope that it will relieve the anxiety, but automatons cannot love and so we work so hard at selling ourselves to an audience that is never satisfied. — TimeLine
This self-destructiveness is an unconscious frustration against this reality, a desire to destroy or end the bullshit but turned in on itself because the way that we have been trained, the way that the world functions is distinct from this actual reality that we are unable to confront consciously. — TimeLine
For example, if you are raised in a culture entrenched with the idea that your parents are absolutely and unequivocally right in everything that they say or do and if you think otherwise you are a bad person, whenever you are confronted with the possibility that this reality may not be true, you feel bad, you feel like there is something wrong with you, and the self-destructiveness is really your anger at this confusion; what you really want to destroy is the lie, but you don't know how to because you don't realise that it is a lie. — TimeLine
I can love the world I live in deeply and be unbearably anxious at the same time. — T Clark
What this misses is the personality type that feels crowded by others. A person can get beyond the need for that abstract audience. I suppose most of us will still want at least a single lover or a single friend. But a few of us could probably be pretty happy alone on a space station for years even, as long as the cultural stain of others was accessible. (Books, movies, etc.) — dog
But (from my perspective) you are ignoring the gloom of the confident, articulate, and popular personality type. — dog
Even if he gets his time in the woods with ideal companions (hard work or a risky crime footing the bill), that time is finite and ends in accident or decay. — dog
What is intolerable is the inability to connect with others; you can have a partner, family, friends and still feel unbearably alone because there is no genuine love but rather a behavioural programme that promises eventual happiness if you conform to an ideal. — TimeLine
You do what you are told by society and you are told to distrust yourself, to become alienated from yourself as though consciousness is your enemy, that the danger of losing this eventual happiness is you and so you must go. — TimeLine
Capitalism and our societal norms are like farmers fattening their cows with hormones and rearing them ready for slaughter; you are only worth something if you do what you are told. — TimeLine
The moment that you stop expecting or working hard to try and be loved by impressing this system through power or attractiveness or having popular traits, and instead start using the faculty or the inherent mental capacity to give love - charity, kindness, affection to all things and not selectively - that social system breaks down and you start to learn this new language, this very 'you' that never had a chance to know. — TimeLine
You cannot help who you fall in love with (I know that from experience) and all is vanity, but it is about the memories we share and make with one another while it lasts that matters (you should read Darkness Visible). — TimeLine
So, two people can unite and share in romance and even marriage and those experience can end, but the friendship will never end which is why friendship is a type of love that is eternal. There is nothing greater than finding a true friend to alleviate the emptiness. — TimeLine
The ideal relationship would be simultaneously the ideal sexual relationship and the ideal friendship. But there is a tension here. Sexual love is possessive. Friendship recognizes the freedom and equal status of other. — dog
I read Darkness Visible many years ago. It's a beautiful little book. Styron was there. That's an example of a married, successful, respected artist wrestling with this stuff. A great example. — dog
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.

Jeanne sourced the most amazing wine estate for Cherne and Denver's engagement shoot. Uva Mira is in Stellenbosch wine region in Cape Town.

Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson and British rapper Tinchy Stryder are the latest celebrities voted out of jungle-based reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
In a shock double elimination, the two were evicted from an Australian rainforest camp on Friday's (05Dec14) episode, and lost out on the chance of being crowned the queen/king of the jungle, just two days before the final.
Both celebrities lasted 21 days in the show, and competed in a series of grisly challenges to win food for their campmates.
Speaking after her eviction, Wilkinson says, "I knew nothing about the show when I signed. I went in blind. I thought it was a fake movie set. I thought I'd put on an act and get fed under the table... It wore me down. But it's natural if you keep facing critters that you end up desensitised to things."
Stryder insisted he loved his time on the show, saying, "I really enjoyed it. I expected it to be tough but it was more than tough. I'm so proud I made it so far... The trials were scary but I enjoyed them."
Four stars are left competing in the 2014 series - four-time World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty, British TV presenter Melanie Sykes, former politician Edwina Currie, and U.K. X Factor star Jake Quickenden


text: Muller Van Severen: a furniture project by Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen I first became aware of Muller Van Severen when they were nominated for Design of the Year 2013 at the Design Museum on London, UK. The furniture and lighting pieces are extremely distinctive and have an incredible timeless feel to them that it is almost a surprise to learn that these have only been around since 2011. Like some kind of cartoon or futuristic film set, the furniture by Muller Van Severen almost appears to be a pointless piece of 'design art' from the mid-2000s but you would be very foolish to dismiss their ideas as this. Visual artists Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen (yes, his father is Maarten Van Severen, designer of the iconic chairs for Vitra) decided to cross the lines of their individual disciplines—photography and sculpture—and embark on a mutual 'furniture project'. Together they developed a series of unique design pieces, minimal in form and detailling but maximal in its usability and use of materials. Exactily these materials were the starting point of their investigations. "The combination of the materials and a minimal line game in the collection refers to the splendour of art deco and the directness of modernism. This contradiction proves to be harmonious. The image of minimalism is worn out. This furniture battles with minimalism an uses it at the same time. Details have been left out, everything has been reduced to the most simple technological solution and still result is very rich ornamentation." A wonderful result is created where conversation and utility is created out of the smallest detail, a really inspiring piece of work. Daniel Having worked in design for the past decade, Daniel started ateliertally.com as a discussion of timeless, modernist product design. Trained as a graphic designer, he also has an avid interest in typography. You can follow him on Twitter @ateliertally.

I'm pleased to announce that my Advent Calendar is now published. Those who were reading my site last December will remember that I did an online Advent Calendar (I won't link to it so as not to spoil the anticipation, but if you want to see the images they aren't hard to find…). Well, the print version is made up of almost exactly the same cartoons (with one or two modifications), one-a-day from 1 to 24 December. It is in A5 format with a spine at the top, meaning you can flip to the next one each day (picture below). The pages are double sided, so during the middle of Advent you turn it around and carry on. The calendar isn't year-dated, so you can use it year after year.
Unlike my other calendars and books the cartoons are not church-specific, so someone not familiar with the church world would, I hope, understand them.
You can purchase the Advent Calendar from the following places:
- Church House Bookshop
- Aslan Christian Books (They interviewed me about my work too – link here)
- Amazon UK
- There also copies in shops, but I can't tell you exactly where. A bookshop should be able to order it for you. Quote ISBN-13 number: 9781848256606 if they look at you blankly.
While we're talking calendars, my 2015 calendar is on sale too. It has a cartoon for each month, and plenty of space to write appointments, etc. The cartoons are some of my favourites from the Church Times, and aren't ones that you will have seen online. You can buy it from Church House Bookshop, Aslan, or Amazon UK.
Above: Calendar as it would look if you kept it on a desk near a keyboard.

From a great distance, the lighthouse known as De Brandaris welcomes visitors to the island. Thirty kilometres of extensive sandy beaches await you.
The island Terschelling
About Terschelling
Terschelling is one of the biggest Wadden Islands, and the third inhabited island. It is seen as the island of cycling among the Wadden Islands, with 70 kilometres of bicylce paths. Terschelling is also home to the natural reserve of De Noordsvaarder, wich possesses great natural beauty, quit and space. You always hear the North Sea and everywhere you can smell the Wadden Sea. Nowhere else in the Netherlands, so many landscapes, plants and animals can be found so close to each other.
Thirty kilometres of extensive sandy beaches await you on Terschelling, which are sometimes up to 500 metres wide. Stop on one of the many terrific recreational beaches and enjoy some ice cream or even a complete meal at one of the beach pavilion. Or you could choose to enjoy the silence of the more remote beaches.
The capital of Terschelling is West Terschelling. West Terschelling is very dynamic in the summer months, with their eateries, restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs. During the day, you can indulge in the cozy streets and their many shops. The town on Terschelling have preserved much of their history. And many establishments wil compote, pastries, limonium honey, 'pondkoek', fresh sea bass and samphire.
Don't miss
The statue of 'Het stryper wyfke' near Striep reminds of an old island legend, which tells the story of English soldiers who retreated when an old lady's words made them believe that the silhouettes they saw in the distant where soldiers, when in fact she was speaking of the graveyards. Her words are said to have been: they stand by the hundreds, but they lie by the thousands.
The islands light house is the oldest still operating one in the country, and a landmark that can't be missed. Locals refer to it simply as 'the tower', and it's a square shaped, late 16th century structure. Unfortunately, the interior is not open for visitors.
The village harbour is a picturesque place. It's the arrival point for the ferries, but otherwise home base for many smaller boats. There are cosy cafés around, allowing to sit back and take in the atmosphere.
The shipwreck museum 'De Boerderij' displays the variety of things divers have found off the island's coast, from cups to an ejection seat.

The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on March 2 to examine the United States' response to the Zika virus.
The committee, which is chaired by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA), had nine witnesses provide testimony concerning the U.S. Public Health Response.
"The Zika virus, a mosquito-borne pathogen, is currently rampaging through South and Central America and in total, has spread to more than 48 countries and territories," Murphy said. "While as of late February there had been no known locally acquired mosquito-borne cases reported in the continental U.S., over 100 travel-associated Zika virus disease cases have been identified in over 20 states. Public health officials in the U.S. are bracing for the time when Zika passes from a traveler with Zika in his or her blood to a local mosquito, and then to another person."
The virus has spread across Latin America and is expected to spread across the U.S.
"In response to public health concerns about Zika virus, NIAID has accelerated ongoing flavivirus research efforts to speed the development of tools that could help control current and future outbreaks of Zika virus," Anthony Fauci, director of the NIAID, said in his testimony.

January is coming and soon it will be time for the annual diet. You know you will give it a try because you do it every year.

This is a question we at My Healthy Bliss have asked ourselves many, many times. In these post-child-rearing days we still live in the country but we also find ourselves in the tropics pretty regularly, and one thing these two environments have in common is BUGS, and lots of them!
If you poll 100 folks who live in a tropical environment or live in the country and ask them what works to repel mosquitos and other pests, you will get 100 different answers. It seems that everyone has their own secret, favorite way to keep from getting eaten alive by bugs. Citronella incense, traps to lure bugs, soaps that repel bugs, lotions that repel bugs, sprays teeming with DEET...everyone has a remedy.
As folks who live in the country and are veteran travelers to tropical environments, let us give you the real scoop... Almost NONE of the remedies and repellents people have recommended to us have ever worked. And we have tried them all. Probably the most promising product we ever found for repelling biting insects in the tropics was a citronella gel we found in Puerto Vallarta. Sadly, try as we might, we were only able to procure one large bottle of this miracle gel and were never able to find it again. Back to the drawing board.
It is universally accepted that the only tried and true repellent for mosquitos, especially, is DEET. DEET is a toxic pesticide and it is absorbed by the skin. Just like anything else, there is debate about whether it is safe, but our position on DEET is the same as our position on any other pesticide: we don't want it on our food or in our air or on our skin. But there are some pretty nasty bad boys carried by mosquitos including denge fever, West Nile virus and Zika...and ain't nobody got time for that. So what to do?
If only we had discovered US Organic Anti-Bug spray sooner. We have finally found an ALL organic bug repellent that is safe enough to use for kids with NO chemicals THAT REALLY WORKS!! There is a formula for indoors and a formula for outdoors. These sprays have nothing in them but organic vegetable oils and a very effective combination of essential oils that truly work to repel bugs. Boom. Finally. Problem solved.
Making healthy living easy one solved problem at a time right here at My Healthy Bliss!

SIDELINED by an ACL tear for a year, Greg Slaughter said he's not yet 100 percent back in shape after undergoing operation and rehabilitation.
And yet, the seven-foot Barangay Ginebra slotman is expected to crowd his teammate LA Tenorio, San Miguel Beer's JuneMar Fajardo and Meralco swingman Chris Newsome for the PBA Best Player of the Conference Award.
Now imagine a Slaughter that's 100 percent full recovered.
Good news for the Kings, bad news for the rest.
"I still have a lot of work to do, but I hope to contribute a lot for the team," Slaughter said. "From here, I hope we'll get better and better as a team."
Slaughter, LA Tenorio,Newsome and Fajardo are four of the top players gunning for the BPC award for the tournament.
With the Gin Kings and the Bolts about to go at it in a much-anticipated best-of-seven finals showdown, the four are projected to be the front-runners for the individual plum.
As for the Best Import Award, just like last season, it will boil down again between reigning winner Allen Durham of Meralco and Justin Brownlee of Barangay Ginebra.
Based on statistics for the tournament, three-time reigning Most Valuable Player Fajardo and Jayson Castro of TNT KaTropa are the top two players.
However, Fajardo's Beermen were eliminated early on in the quarterfinals, while Castro's Tropang Texters made their exit after the semifinals, leaving the the three players from the Gin Kings and the Bolts the active ones remaining.
Fajardo, who is once again the favorite to win the MVP of the season award for the fourth straight time, ended up with an average of 38.45 statistical points for the tourney, while Castro wrapped up his campaign up with 33.56.
Slaughter is third in the race with 32.6, while Newsome isn't far behind at fourth with 30.88. Arwind Santos rounds up the Top 5 with his 30.58 average.
Tenorio is sixth with his 30.19 SPs.
For Best Import, Durham leads with his average of 58.88 SPs.
Both awards will be given in Game 4 of the finals.
Ginebra and Meralco will kick off their finals rematch tomorrow at 7 p.m. Game 1, scheduled at the Quezon Convention Center in Lucena City, Quezon.
