The body should be able to get all minerals from foods we eat. At times due to poor diet, the body is not able to draw all it wants from your diet. At times you might be observing the right balanced diet bit still the body cannot get enough of the minerals. It is at such points when the doctor recommends supplements to the patient. Pregnant mothers are a good example of people who need and must take supplements. Yes, they might be eating right diet, but the body can't get enough of it because the body needs minerals for two.
Some people have the wrong idea about supplements. They will even discourage you form taking them. When it comes to your health, do not listen to anyone else other than the doctor. You must do all they ask you if you want to get better.
Buy supplements
Doctor's prescription
Just like any other medication, supplements must be taken as per doctor's instructions. Do not at any time e buy supplements over the counter without the doctor's instructions. You might end up getting the wrong thing making your condition worse. Do not overdose or under dose. This is the point just to emphasize that you must follow the doctor's instructions completely.
Buy from recognized medical stores
At times you will be required to buy the prescriptions away from the hospital. In such situation make sure the person you buy them from a good store. Some medical stores are not genuine. They will sell medicine without following the right procedures. If not careful you can even buy expired medication. Get a store with traffic. You can ask around for the best medicine store.
Buy online
You can decide to buy supplements from online stores. With the right choice, you will get quality medicine at low prices. Online stores as well give out offers and discounts from time to tie. Be on the lookout for such and save the extra penny.

Love the Weak Too
We are all ever so
in becoming ourselves,
visibly haunted and like the future
sometimes blurry;
Yet we have everything
and have grown together,
discovered treasures and gentle transformations,
become happy ever-so-often,
and as people begin to arrive
a few think it is a vision;
They are confidently assured in their awareness
but deep down love a good surprise
knowing every day the future forwardly shapes the past.
Yet no one monster minds, no one panics or protest-picnics.
People begin to arrive…

LA VERNE, Calif. — The bats stayed hot for the University of La Verne baseball team as the Leopards beat Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, 13-3, on Friday afternoon at Ben Hines Field.
The Leopards worked the count all game and showcased its lineup depth. The Leopards drew seven walks, every starter for reached base at least once and seven players got at least one hit. Nolan Henley led the Leopards with three hits, including a triple and a score on an error. Andrew Douglas knocked in four runs on two hits and Nicholas Michaels went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI.
"That's just the way it happens sometimes," La Verne head coach Scott Winterburn said of the Leopards' patience at the plate. "It's just indicative of the way it went for their pitching staff. They had trouble finding the zone and repeating their pitches and we took advantage."
La Verne starter Javi Iñiguez (2-1) struggled with the command of fastball early but righted his course by relying on his changeup and picked up his second win of the season. He went five innings and struck out three while giving up three runs.
"Javi didn't really have his fastball tonight," Winterburn said of his ace. "But today, he had the command of his changeup and that's what he went to throughout the game to get out of trouble. And that's what a good veteran pitcher will do--he will discover what he has that day and go with it."
The Stags got on the board first in the top of the second inning on an Alex Clemens RBI but La Verne answered right back with two runs in the bottom of the frame. Daniel McDonnell led off the inning with a walk, Christopher Ligot reached on on error and Douglas brought both of them in after a sacrifice bunt by Michaels.
La Verne exploded for five runs in the third to stretch the lead to 7-1 and take control of the game. CMS starter gave up a walk and a hit batter to start the inning and put himself in a deeper hole by airmailing a throw to first on a bunt. Michaels and Douglas had consecutive RBI hits and Woody Reyes capped off the inning with a sacrifice fly to center.
The Leopards tacked on five more runs in the fifth and the sixth and with the sun about to set in the seventh, Reyes finished the game off with a run-scoring single up the middle to invoke the run rule.
Hayden Firth took over for Iñiguez in the sixth and pitched a scoreless inning and Alexander Gorzelanny threw a perfect seventh.
Brock (0-2) got tagged with the loss, giving up seven runs in three inning, but wasn't helped by a defense that committed seven errors. Seven of La Verne's runs were unearned.
The Leopards are back in action tomorrow for a doubleheader at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.

San Francisco 49ers
Report card: 49ers still in preseason mode
Offense: There were glimpses of brilliance. But they were buried under of a pile of mistakes, penalties and dropped passes. Kyle Shanahan lived up to his aggressive reputation by going for it twice on fourth down in the first half. Should he have? Both failed and led to two Panthers field goals. Grade: D+
Defense: The 49ers had to defend a short field for most of the game and did so without one of their most talented players, linebacker Reuben Foster. That they gave up only 287 yards, and only 116 yards on the ground, suggests significant progress from last season. Grade: B-
Special teams: The 49ers didn't have a lot of opportunities for special teams highlights. Robbie Gould was good on a 44-yard field goal in his 49ers debut at Levi's Stadium. Rookie Trent Taylor reliably handled punts. Grade: B
Overall: Mistakes, penalties, players lining up in the wrong spot — the 49ers looked a lot like they did in the preseason, finishing the game with 10 penalties for 74 yards. Their two biggest weaknesses, a porous interior offensive line and an inexperienced secondary, were prominent on he Panthers' first score, which really was all Carolina needed. Grade: C-

The main question we get when explaining our work is "why would someone do a boudoir shoot to begin with?". You may already do the most common answers we wrote here, but since we like being extra, here are 4 more reasons why you should take the leap!
A travel reward
This one is definitively a cool idea. We got an email a month and a half ago from the sexy Vanessa saying she was coming in Toronto and wanted to have her photos taken in her Airbnb with the view on the CN Tower. She travels a lot and her goal is to get a boudoir shoot every time she is in a new city. We were so honoured she chose us for Toronto. It was her first boudoir session and she did a wonderful job at letting go. The pictures are stunning and we can't wait to work with her again.
Birthday Girl
Few days ago we had the great pleasure to photograph - for the fourth time - the lovely Liana. She contacted us because she wanted to treat herself with a little boudoir shoot in the Graffiti Alley, to celebrate her 36th birthday. Such an awesome idea! We love her personality, she is always smiling, kind and so confident, we couldn't say no.
So here we are, 10:30 am downtown Toronto and there she was, holding tons of balloons, wearing heart-shaped glasses and her hot pink outfit. Of course, we picked the only day when the weather was coldish, but that was fine, she is a pretty badass woman to begin with. As usual we did not have to pose her, as a burlesque dancer she already knows how to play with her body. We had never shot in the Graffiti Alley and the photos turned out great (as colourful as her personality)
Morality of the story: birthdays are important and we should all treat ourselves with a little boudoir shoot!
Fabulous at 50
It breaks our heart when we hear women saying they would love to try boudoir but don't because they think they are too old. We will never stop saying it: you do not need to have a particular age or body shape to treat yourself. Why would you stop yourself because of what the society says or tries to make you believe. Just do you!
And this is what three of our recent clients did. They were brave enough to kick the standards in their faces and think only about themselves. They are powerful women who decided to enjoy being 50 and celebrate it instead of letting negatives thoughts about getting older dictates how they should feel.
We cannot show you their beautiful faces because of privacy purpose but they rocked their sessions. It was a beautiful encounter, they are such a great inspiration for us all.
Before becoming a bride
We are always over the moon when we received inquiries from brides to be for a boudoir session. A wedding is such a big step and can be overwhelming, so taking some time for yourself to relax is a must. Plus the future partners are always pleased to see the final pictures.
This is what Sarah did few weeks ago and she was stunning. Such a beauty who was not scared to show her scars. She brought so many outfits, it was hard to pick the best ones, so we did most of them! We went for a modern vibe because bridal boudoir doesn't have to be classic, even if white lingerie is also gorgeous, it can be way more creative.
as you can see, there are many opportunities to do a boudoir shoot. We have a lot More adventures coming up and we can't wait to share them with you.
Important note: It is not because most of our clients are women, that you gentlemen can't treat yourself too. Remember, boudoir photography is not only open to women!

My response...
My heart is pounding and my eyes are burning. Sister warned me. She told me about the article and I could tell she immediately regretted it. She told me because she was hurt by the words and the misconceptions it was spreading. Then she repeatedly warned me to refrain from looking it up. I did anyway... "Why I terminated my pregnancy after learning my baby had Down Syndrome." Just reading the title gave me a pit in my stomach. While I usually stay away from the negativity these kinds of pieces bring, they remind me why I started this blog. So I decided against my sister's council and read. It only got worse and worse. From phrases like "I'm so sorry" as a nurse told her of the diagnosis to "my child deserved better than a life of struggle and frustration due to a condition that he or she would never be able to change" sent a chill down my spine. Sorry? What are you sorry about? It's a child. A beautiful child that will bring love and laughter into your life just like a "normal" (a word used with concern in the article) child. People said sorry to us upon finding out about Welles. But not with the sympathy and sadness this article exudes; at least not that I could tell. They were sorry for our shock and our fear of the unknown. And even then, I hated hearing it. It's a child, not a damaged piece of furniture. Don't apologize for who someone is. And what better life do those with an extra chromosome deserve? Welles sure as heck isn't angry that he's the only kid his age not walking, or even crawling. He happily watches the other kids run around and plays with toys he can army crawl to. In case you haven't noticed, those with DS tend to be happier than your average Joe. Sure they have their moments just like the rest of us, but are usually much less hard on themselves than you or I. It almost makes me jealous we can't be more like that. If anything, I have been counseled to push Welles because the typical demeanor of one with DS is mellow and content; not frustrated and high strung because of their learning disabilities. Like I said earlier, I'm sure Welles will have his moments when noticing things are more of a challenge for him than perhaps his siblings. But that is hardly a reason to rid a child. Holy crap, theres about a million things that I'm more affraid to face with our other ("normal") child than that!
This one stung-- "I was ready to make the hardest decision of my life — terminate the pregnancy. And I would make it as a mother who wanted to do the best for her child." I don't even know where to start on that.
While looking into my sweet Welles' eyes, it absolutely pains my soul that some would think his life is of less worth because of some disabilities. It's rare to meet a human that exudes the happiness and love that he does. Something this earth could use a whole lot more of.
In a time where we are learning so much more of tolerance and acceptance, how is he an exception? Because he may require more attention than your average kid? Because he doesn't physically fit in to what the media finds "beautiful?" This isn't an issue of being pro-choice or not. This is an issue of equality and worth. And by writing that article, even if unintentionally, she told me that my child's life isn't worth the trouble. Spare me the excuses of the pain he'll go through. I've spent enough time around Individuals with DS (all ages) and one thing is quite clear, they're a lot happier with who they are than you and I are. The fact that an article like this was even published just shows how far behind our society really is on the ignorance meter...
Usually I like to keep things positive on here, but my friends, we have to be advocates for these beautiful souls. Wether it's your child, niece/nephew, friend, someone you've worked with, or even if you're just a reader, I hope you'll stand up and be a cheerleader for those with special needs. It's my duty to be a voice for Welles and I am proud of everything he is. If anything, after reading, then cooling off, I felt sorry for this woman. How little she knows and how significantly she is missing out.
True, I'm only a year and a half into this. There's a lot of unknown in my future and a lot of learning ahead of us. But it didn't take long for Scott and I to see that Welles is a gift, a gift not everyone is given. His life, disabilities and all, are not a handy cap to our family. He is not an inconvenience. He's a cherished piece of our lives and we wouldn't have him be any other way. We like his idea of "normal" and to us, he is just who he's supposed to be.

Tenpenny Tower, Greener Pastures disposal site, Wheaton armory
- Michael Masters and Besse Lynn can appear as traders if you managed to negotiate a deal to let the ghouls inside Tenpenny Tower. These two will replace Lydia Montenegro and Anthony Ling.
- If you hack into a security terminal in the Federalist Lounge you may lower prices for all the drinks offered to you by Shakes. The differences will be substantial, so you shouldn't ignore this possibility.
- Chief Gustavo (Tenpenny Tower) - selling items
- Margaret Primrose (Tenpenny Tower - lobby) - selling food
- Lydia Montenegro (Tenpenny Tower - lobby) - running a boutique and decorating your apartment in Tenpenny Tower
- Shakes (Tenpenny Tower - lobby) - selling drinks

Greener Pastures disposal site
- Proceed to the west of the disposal site. Check my screen for an exact location. Inspect the area around the rocks and you'll come across a... flying saucer! Make sure that you have Rad-X and RadAway in your possession, because you'll be dealing with small radiation (1-2 rads per second). Look around and find a body of an alien being. Ignore the body and collect an alien blaster. It's a very powerful weapon, but it's difficult to find ammunition for it. Make sure that you've collected all the power cells before leaving the area.
Wheaton armory
- The armory is being controlled by the raiders and getting rid of them isn't going to be easy, because there are large numbers of them. If you've already been to the Citadel, you can meet brotherhood outcasts and they'll probably help in you in getting rid of the bandits. You won't find any unique weaponry inside the armory, however there are a lot of supplies for you to collect. I'm talking about miniguns, sniper rifles, plasma grenades, rocket launchers and other useful toys.
- A small ranch is located to the north of Wheaton armory and it's the main outpost for the lawbringers. This organization is being led by Sonora Cruz. You can think of them as a positive version of Littlehorn's fraction. Check my screen if you're having some difficulties finding the ranch. In order to receive an audience with Sonora you must first acquire Lawbringer perk. Enter the farm and listen to Sonora's proposal. She can pay you five bottle caps for every finger of a bad person you bring her.

Yikes Spikes!
Today was the warmest day of the year so far. Blue skies and glorious sunshine, beautiful! Shame I could only enjoy it from the confines of our very warm home with all the windows closed as my hayfever fully kicked in :'( I get it really badly every year and it's a messy itchy horrible NIGHTMARE!
Rather than be miserable and mope about, I decided I would take advantage of my partner being home to get the sewing machine out and sew whilst the little one napped and older one was entertained.
The older one is obsessed with dragons at the moment. He draws them all the time and comes up with great names for them. I asked him to draw me one to make a while ago (I had to keep on reminding him to keep it SIMPLE!!!). It's probably taken me about 2 weeks but I have finally managed to finish it, hooray! There are lots of mistakes and it's a bit lumpy and bumpy and funny looking but he seems to like it and immediately held it in his arms and chewed on its tail so I think that's a thumbs up :)

Floating between ephemeral and ghostly vocals, heavy hitting percussion and sharp psychedelic guitars, Mr. Gnome plays experimental music that's infectious. With Nicole Barille and Sam Meister splitting instrumental duties, it's quite impressive to hear how full of a sound the pair can create. Today, we are proud to premiere "House Of Circles," off third album Madness In Miniature (out October 25 via El Marko Records), on magnetmagazine.com. The track was recorded at Josh Homme's Pink Duck Studios and was engineered by Justin Smith (Arctic Monkeys, Eagles Of Death Metal). Download "House Of Circles" below.

Técnica Gavilán began in Guadalajara, Mexico in 2004. With nothing more than a napkin sketch of the first instruments, we set out to not only improve soft tisse tools, but create more functional treatment applications around them.
While ISTM treatment had been around for close to 20 years at this point, very little improvement had been made to the design of the instruments. One of the early pioneers utilized single-sided, blunt edged instruments that were slippery and hard to hold; and those same instruments were still in use. With many areas of the body to treat, a single sided symmetric treatment tool limits the best applications.
Out of that first meeting came the realization that instruments with a treatment edge that surrounded their entire perimeter would be much more efficient and that the practitioner would need fewer instruments. And so prototyping began. We experimented with various metals and settled on stainless steel with a high content of nickel, which is very hard and non-porous, preventing any bacteria from embedding into the instrument and spreading from patient to patient.
The first two prototypes were cut from solid stainless steel in Guadalajara, Mexico. Casting the instruments would have been less expensive, however the vibration of the instrument was dampened, limiting the best patient outcomes. Cutting each instrument from a solid piece of stainless steel took longer but the enhanced vibrations when treating soft tissues were immediately evident.
In our last two prototypes we finalized our design. Each surface was textured to create a relaxed grip for the practitioner. Each Gavilán instrument has a well-defined treatment edge surrounding the entire perimeter. This design requires less treatment pressure and virtually eliminates bruising. We customized each curve with a double beveled treatment edge for comfort and enhanced the asymmetry of each instrument. This allows the Gavilán instruments the ability to fit the greatest number of body areas for treatment.
Técnica Gavilán instruments are currently made in the USA by a family owned machine shop in California.

Well, maybe not. But the best thing I've seen for a while, and guaranteed to cheer you up.

Babyslime posted a YouTube clip (and I can't for the life of me get it to embed without messing up the layout), and says "San Diego's republican mayor has a change of heart on gay marriage – this conference that he held, explaining what had changed for him, is so incredibly moving. It's long, but it's worth it. I cried a lot." Which is pretty much what I'd say too. Watch it.

For me, there really is so much joy to be found in the simple things in life. Like a glorious sunny spring walk around the grounds of Magdalen College, Oxford. Last Sunday Al and I packed up a picnic and headed out on foot with our cameras in search of spring. I'm pleased to say we found it in abundance, looking most glorious, basking in the beautiful sunshine.
There is a beautiful circular walk around the College grounds, with paths lined with daffodils and clusters of beautiful crocuses. I don't think anything lifts the spirits quite as much as golden daffodils aglow in the sunshine - yellow for me is the colour of happy. The perfect tonic after a winter of cold and grey.
We even found a Fritillary or two, which had popped up early, encouraged by all the lovely sunshine and warmth.
I love the randomness of where the crocuses pop up - little clusters of happiness all lit up, nestling amongst the daffodils and the pretty purple Scilla Siberica flowers. Of course it meant getting low down with my camera to get the best angles - I'm very good at getting in the zone when I have a vision of what I want to capture - but unfortunately this often means that I'm not really thinking about what I'm asking my poor body to do to capture said shot. I was limping around for a few days after this beautiful walk - a mild case of spring flower strain ;)
The beautiful sunshine created some beautiful shadows and patterns with the Magdalen College architecture too.
A day of warmth and joy. It really is the simple things :)

1993 Topps (Pre-Production Sample) #179 - Ken Griffey, Jr.
In the early '90s, there were a handful of baseball players it was practically impossible for collectors and fans not to like. In my opinion I'd put Cal Ripken Jr., maybe Nolan Ryan and certainly Ken Griffey, Jr. firmly into that category. From his debut in 1989 (and the iconic Upper Deck card that accompanied it), and through the entire decade of the '90s, Junior was arguably the biggest name in baseball.
The Kid is certainly a player I'd been looking to add to my franken-set since its inception almost two years ago now, so when this 2016 buyback of his 1993 Topps release popped up on COMC this past summer I was all over it. Griffey had a typical fantastic year in '93, his fifth season in the Majors. It was the season where he truly exploded power-wise as well, with 45 home runs (he had 49 in his previous two seasons combined). He was named an All-Star for the fourth straight year, won a Gold Glove in center for the fourth straight year, and picked up his second Silver Slugger Award while also finishing 5th in AL MVP voting. Just an awesome card.
So, does this buyback make the binder in slot 179?
Next up, buyback number 1,000 at long last. It's a real whopper, featuring a guy with better career numbers than even Griffey, Jr. Oh, and it's from the early '60s as well! See you then!
Franken-set Progress: 545/792 (68%)
"Rejected" Buybacks: 454
Total Buybacks in Collection: 999

Mandy accused of screwing small biz
Giving more money to Google not good for Brits, is it?
Web design and consultancy firms have reacted with outrage to Lord Mandelson's latest attempt to get more British small businesses online.
The launch of "Getting British Business Online" saw Mandy promise to get 100,000 British small and medium enterprises online for the first time by the end of 2010.
And the partners for this great push? Google, BT and assorted business quangos like e-skills UK and Enterprise UK.
Mandy reckons 1.5 million small firms still don't have a website. The scheme will offer digital laggards a free .co.uk web address, a "customised" website created using Google tools and "free online marketing" - tips on improving your Google ranking.
The site, which is also paying for Google search terms, recommends that firms which don't wish to create a website should promote their business on Google Maps instead. The website is run by Google and covered by its standard privacy policy.
British firms which complained to the FT included Mr Site - a do-it-yourself web design tool - WebFusion, a UK webhost, and Moonfruit which also offers web design. ®

ANAHEIM — The Los Angeles Angels emerged with a 4-3 win over the A's on Thursday night in the first game of a four-game weekend set with the American League West lead on the line when Howie Kendrick delivered a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning.
The A's, however, were playing the game under protest stemming from an odd incident in the ninth inning. It remains to be seen if the protest is upheld. The Angels didn't score, so it probably won't be, but the A's could well argue that the call by home plate ump Greg Gibson forced them to burn through their bullpen in the inning.
The A's (78-55 and two games behind the Angels) were incensed at an obstruction call made by Gibson against the A's.
A's reliever Dan Otero and first baseman Brandon Moss both had ideas about fielding a high chopper off the bat of the Angels' Erick Aybar. Otero fielded it, and with Moss standing adjacent collided with Aybar.
Otero had the ball, but that apparently held no weight with Gibson, who ruled obstruction against Moss. Manager Bob Melvin came out to argue, and after getting no satisfaction, returned from the dugout to say the A's were protesting the game.
"(Gibson) said he had to have a clear lane to the base, but (Aybar) was way out of the base line," Melvin said. "Then he went to try and make contact with the fielder. So hopeful it's upheld."
Melvin said that calling obstruction on Moss was odd given that Moss never touched Aybar.
Umpire crew chief Gerry Davis, speaking to a pool reporter, said Gibson told him it was a judgment call.
Davis said he couldn't comment on the play because of the protest. He did elaborate a little, however.
"The ruling was obstruction on the first baseman. We can't really comment on the play further than that because of the protest involved," Davis said. "That was a judgment call on Greg's part, but you have to talk to the league office on that."
Melvin's hope that the call will be overturned rests on the MLB front office accepting that Aybar was running out of the runner's lane, that Moss never touched Aybar and that Aybar ran into Otero. It's not clear that MLB will see it that way.
The rule book (4:19) says: "Even if it is held that the protested decision violated the rules, no replay of the game will be ordered unless in the opinion of the League President the violation adversely affected the protesting team's chances of winning the game."
Otero and Moss were involved in the next play, both backing off a bunt from John McDonald that went for a hit. Another bunt got the runners to second and third, at which point the A's intentionally walked Gordon Beckham.
Fernando Abad replaced Otero and got Kole Calhoun to pop out, and at that point Ryan Cook came out of the bullpen to face Angels RBI leader Mike Trout. Cook got the grounder that ended the inning.
The bottom of the 10th was entirely the Angels' own doing after Cook walked Albert Pujols to start things off. Josh Hamilton singled past second baseman Alberto Callaspo to get Pujols to third base, and Kendrick delivered the game-winning sacrifice fly to right.

Hey guys! It's Ray back here and welcome to another blog post! Thanks to Nintendo, today I have an awesome opportunity to share with you guys both Bayonetta 1 and 2 for the Switch! How exciting is this!?
Now if you've never played any of the Bayonetta games before. Boy are you in for a treat. These games are action-packed from start to finish…I'm not even joking from the second you launch the games you'll see what I am talking about. One of the best things about the Switch version of the games is that if you're trying to decide between getting Bayonetta 1 or Bayonetta 2, both games come together for $60 so effectively you're getting Bayonetta 1 for $10 since 2 is $50 or each for $30 - no matter how you look at it, it's a solid deal. Especially when you consider you're basically getting double the Bayonetta sassiness - can't go wrong with that!
If you're only are going to only play one of the two though, hands down Bayonetta 2 is a much better experience of the two. The first does have it's tech issues with camera movement and stuff like that but with the second all of those issues have been ironed out. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, the gameplay is much smoother and it also has a much easier learning curve. I'm not taking anything away from the first, I'm just stating the obvious that the second is easily better then the first so we'll talk about that one for a bit.
So obviously in these games you take control of the main character, Bayonetta, who is a strong and empowered shape shifting witch. In the cut scenes she is hella sassy and on the battlefield she is a force to be reckoned with. If you've ever played Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden games, the combat style in both Bayonetta games are very similar. The battles are fast and furious with combos flying everywhere and added mechanics like Witch Time and Torture Attacks make for some really intense and fluid action. The combat system is truly amazing.
However, the action doesn't just stop at the battles. It very translates over to the moments in between when you're adventuring through the story mode. It's not uncommon to have a city start crumbling leading up to a battle or a gigantic wave form to try to sweep you away. To speed things up and avoid these obstacles quickest, you can also transform into a panther to get around faster…Black Panther anyone? There's no denying the fact that Bayonetta is a weird series full of ridiculous creatures and moments that will surely make you go what the f****.
One second you're fighting half man, half horse Accolades, the next the mighty Gomorrah, the next the gigantic Glamor. The battles are not easy either. I can confidently say that I died a few times at the ends of the Gomorrah and Glamor the first time I faced them. There is never a dull moment in this game because once you think you've just got done with a battle, another one is only a few steps away.
That's what I love the most about Bayonetta games. They are literally cinematic masterpieces that feel like playable movies. They are more than just games, they are experiences.
Overall, if you've ever played the original Bayonetta's obviously, you're going to love them here on the Switch. In fact, these games feel right at home on the Switch. Having the ability to play anytime, anywhere is really great and whether you play handheld or docked…the games simply look stunning. If you've never played any of the previous Bayonetta games, the Switch versions are the perfect place to start. I may even go as far to say that these are must-have titles for the Switch.
Bayonetta 1 and 2 for Nintendo Switch: 9.5 out of 10
Thank you, Nintendo for making this all possible and introducing me to these incredible games!

"The Curious Case of Curt Flood" could hardly be more timely.
The compelling documentary about the St. Louis Cardinals all-star centerfielder who made free agency possible for major league baseball players arrives Wednesday night on HBO in the middle of our summer of sports discontent with the NFL and NBC players and owners at each throats.
The film reminds that as much as we might like to lose ourselves in the games aspects of professional sports, the owners are still management, and the players are still labor, and with billions of dollars at stake it is never just about the games.
Curt Flood, a wildly over-achieving athlete, saw his career essentially ended in 1969 when at age 31 he challenged the rsearve clause that made major league baseball players the property of the owners of the teams with which they signed. If that sounds extreme, watch this splendid little documentary tonight and learn something about the tremendous courage of Flood and the avarice of the men who ran the game during that era.
I was attending college on a g baseball scholarship when Flood was at the peak of his fame, and he was one of my favorite players. But I never understood his actions until this film, which skillfully explains that while most historians have talked about Flood's case as an anti-trust action, he always saw it as a civil rights battle. And the filmmakers chronicle his deep roots in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.
Here's a link to a podcast of a radio review I did of the HBO film, if you want to know more. the film premieres at 9 p.m. (ET) Wednesday with numerous replays throughout the month.

Hooooow is it already December?! The end of this year is already a blur. I am looking forward to it, but I am also looking forward to the beginning of 2017! I sure could use a fresh start. Anyone else?
So, this month I did a decent job at the challenges. I was able to minimize my technology before bed, which absolutely helped with falling asleep. I don't think the change was necessarily because of the technology itself, but because it forced me to start thinking about winding down well before I was actually laying down. I started getting back into some of my positive night routines, like drinking tea and meditating. All in all, it was a success, and I hope to retain this mindfulness moving forward.
I did not go to yoga, but I did join a gym near my house. I love having a gym to go to, especially in the winter. I have had some success with regular gym workouts in the past, and would love to start up a routine again. I hope having this gym close to my house will make it easy for me to go. I have been enjoying it thus far, and look forward to checking out their fitness classes in the near future.
This month brings with it a challenge that I am both nervous and excited for. This month, I will not use social media. I have deleted the social apps from my phone. The only related thing I will still be using is Facebook messenger, because I need to use it to organize my book club and other events. It's funny how as soon as I decided to do this challenge I became terrified. I was worried that someone who needed/wanted to get a hold of me might not be able to, or that I would miss something significant. Perhaps I will, but I'm sure that all of the actually important things will find their way to me. Plus, it's only a month. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how it feels!
I'm particularly excited to cut my ties – even temporarily – with social media because the Netflix original series Black Mirror has me terrified of our relationship with technology. If you haven't watched it, maybe you should. Also though, maybe you shouldn't. I've never gone through so many emotions watching a show. It is beautifully done, and tells stories in a style that I greatly appreciate, but it is also hits terrifyingly close to home. Each episode is a cautionary tale about the future of technology/our relationship to it.
With regards to my other goals for last month, namely the action points I laid out for managing my depression and anxiety, they are continuing to unfold. I realize that all of the things I hope to do/know will help manage my symptoms are not things that can be accomplished in a month. I am continuing to monitor and manage my experiences. One of the things I hope to do this month (with the help of a good friend) is go to the LGBT center in NYC and see what kinds of resources they have for folks like me. I look forward to it.
If anyone has suggestions for monthly challenges I should consider in 2017, please pass them along!
Thank you for reading this post, and perhaps all of my posts this year, and I'll see you again in 2017! Have a wonderful holiday season, and end of 2016.
Love and gratitude,

5 Quick Tips for Boarding Your Dog at a Kennel

This service is available at:
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a type of arrhythmia where the heart beats (much) faster than normal. In this type of arrhythmia the heartbeat originates from close to the normal location but it is not controlled by normal feedback loops in the body. SVT may be due to structural cardiac disease such as dilated cardiomyopathy or chronic valvular disease but can also be a primary finding.
Supraventricular tachycardia can cause weakness and lethargy. If the SVT is severe enough and is untreated, it can cause the heart muscle to weaken and dilate. If this happens, difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation can result.
Supraventricular Tachycardia can only be definitively diagnosed by an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Treatment consists of giving a pet medications to slow down the speed of the arrhythmia as it passes through the rest of the heart. Medications sometimes need to be adjusted until a regimen that keeps the heart rate under control is found. The target heart rate is generally between 100-140 beats per minute. In human medicine, SVT is often treated with radioablation techniques where the arrhythmia is permanently stopped by ablating the bit of tissue that is causing the arrhythmia. This can be done "remotely" with catheters inserted into veins or arteries in the patients limbs.
If the arrhythmia is controllable, the patient can often live a relatively normal life span. However, prognosis always depends on the underlying disease process.

Glass Fishing Net Floats
Many glass collectors are not yet familiar with this type of glass collectible, unless they live along the Western coasts of the US, or have seen them for sale at antique shops or gift shops. Every so often, especially after strong storms accompanied by long-continued onshore Westerly winds have passed through, beachcombers in Oregon, Washington and other areas have found these hollow glass balls cast up onto the beach along with driftwood and other flotsam and jetsam. (Note: small fishing floats are sometimes confused with glass target balls, which were used in trap shooting during the late Victorian era. Please see this page on target balls. )
These hollow spheres were used on ocean waters to support large scale commercial fishing nets, (often with many individual fishing nets strung together, sometimes several miles in extent) and keep these nets from sinking. Floats range in size from a golf ball to a tennis ball or grapefruit, up to, in rarer instances, a soccer ball or basketball.
Origin & early manufacture
Norway is believed to have been the first country to start production and use of glass fishing floats. Christopher Faye, a Norwegian merchant from Bergen, is credited for their invention in the early 1840s.
The first time these glass fishing floats are mentioned is in the production records for the Hadelands Glassverk (Glassworks) of Jevnaker, Norway, in 1842. The earliest evidence of glass floats actually being used by fishermen comes from Norway in 1844 where glass floats were on gill nets in the great cod fisheries at Lofoten. However, it is believed by some researchers and collectors that glass floats had already been in use in Norway and other Scandinavian countries for many years before this time.
Japan apparently started using the glass floats as early as 1910. By the 1940s, glass had evidently replaced wood or cork floats for a good percentage of deep-sea or large-scale commercial fishing operations throughout much of Japan, Europe, Russia, and North America.
Several countries produced machine-made glass floats, including the United States. In the U.S., during the 1930s or 1940s the Owens-Illinois Glass Company (Diamond and oval with I); Northwestern Glass Company, Seattle, Washington ("NW" mark) ; Corning Glass Works; and Crystallite Products, Glendale, California, manufactured machine-made floats, which are usually found in clear glass. Some made by Northwestern Glass are known in amber.
Glass floats have, over the last several decades, for the most part been replaced by floats made of aluminum, plastic, or Styrofoam. However, it is somewhat unclear whether glass float production for ocean fishing purposes is completely obsolete……….yet. In the reference work Beachcombing the Pacific by Amos L. Wood (published as recently as 1987), Wood writes "Blown glass floats are still the mainstay of the oriental long line tuna fishery with it's hand labor operation, while plastic floats are standard with the American salmon gill net fishery that employs hydraulic-driven winch blocks to do the net hauling. The handblown glass float has not been replaced by plastic in other kinds of oriental fishery, popular opinion to the contrary, for the glass float is still the least expensive [my emphasis]." Evidently there are still some small glass-blowing operations in Japan and other Asian countries that are producing floats actually made for fishing, but most floats today are probably being made more for the tourist collector trade than for actual fishing purposes.
Today, the majority of glass fishing floats that are adrift on the Pacific Ocean originated in Japan because it had a large deep sea fishing industry which made extensive use of these floats; other very similar-looking floats are/were also made by glass companies located in Taiwan, Korea and China.
The great majority of authentic glass fishing floats (those actually made for the fishing industry, NOT for the gift shop trade or made intentionally just for sale to collectors), are made of glass in some shade of AQUA (blue-green or turquoise), or pale green.
Less common, but still found fairly often in some areas (Europe or Caribbean), are floats in medium to dark greens, such as dark olive green. Other colors are much rarer. Some floats are found in very pale amethyst (purple) glass. Most of those may have been originally clear, but have turned an amethyst color (from exposure to ultra-violet rays of the sun) if the glass contained enough manganese. Medium or dark purple (authentic) floats are extremely scarce.
Most authentic floats have many bubbles and impurities (specks of carbon, firebrick, etc) embedded inside the glass. They were typically made partly, or wholly, of recycled glass (waste glass, cullet) from old bottles, including used Japanese Saki wine bottles.
Colors that have occasionally been found in authentic floats include light to medium blue (not aqua) , brown, gray, shades of amber, cobalt blue, yellow, and the very rarest are believed to be in shades of red or orange.
Reproduction floats
Most floats that are in an unusual color such as cobalt blue, dark purple, bright yellow, rich bright green, orange, or red, can be safely assumed to be a modern reproduction, made especially as a "tourist gift item" unless there is strong evidence to prove otherwise (meaning, the float was actually found washed up on a beach).
Most colored floats sold on internet auction sites are modern production (repros) that never saw service "in the wild". Many of them are probably current (or very recent) products of Asia. The majority (although certainly not all) of the reproduction / gift-shop floats (replicas, or "fakes") tend to have thinner, weaker walls, and usually do not have as many bubbles embedded in the glass. They are often covered with weak, thin, poorly-made netting that would not stand up to actual hard use in the ocean environment. The most commonly found floats range in size from about the size of an orange up to a grapefruit. Other floats, both smaller, and much larger, are found. The largest floats are very hard to find. Although most fishing floats are round (spherical), there are several scarcer types of floats known as "rolling pins" or "rollers".
In many cases, the larger floats are broken when they are cast up onto rocky shores (which is one reason why they are found so infrequently). Their chances of being found unbroken are much better when they are cast by the surf onto a smooth, sandy, relatively level beach.
Some percentage of floats are found with a dull "frosty" matte look, caused by the surf action, i.e. rolling around on a sandy beach. Floats are often used as decorative accents in homes. Collectors sometimes arrange them on shelves, or in back-lit glass display cases, or displayed artistically in sunny windows along with other decorative or collectible items such as shells, rocks, bottles, crab pot markers, old bouys and other maritime/ nautical artifacts.
The earliest floats, including most Japanese glass fishing floats, were handmade (usually freeblown) one by one, by a professional glassblower. After being blown, floats were removed from the blowpipe and sealed with a "button", "patch"' or "plug" of molten glass, before being placed in a lehr (cooling oven). Incidentally, this "button" is not the same thing as a 'pontil mark' as seen on bottles. Some hand-made floats of Oriental origin were made by blowing the glass into a mold.
Some of the molds that were used are reported to have been made out of wood, although it is likely that most were made of metal (cast iron or steel). Some percentage (perhaps 10 to 20 percent) of floats have some type of raised marking on them that presumably indicates the glassmaker.
Many of the floats made in Japan or Korea have markings, although alot of these marks are not identified. The book "Beachcombing for Japanese Glass Floats" by Amos L. Wood (mentioned at the bottom of this article) illustrates a wide variety of markings that have been documented on these floats, including examples from Japan, Korea, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Norway, and Portugal.
Today, alot of the glass floats remaining in the ocean are stuck in a circular pattern of ocean currents in the North Pacific. Off the eastern coast of Taiwan, the Kuroshio Current starts as a northern branch of the western-flowing North Equatorial Current. That current flows past Japan and eventually meets the Arctic waters of the Oyashio Current. At this junction, the North Pacific Current (or Drift) is formed which travels east across the Pacific before gradually turning south to become the California Current.
The California Current pushes the water into the North Equatorial Current once again, and the cycle continues indefinitely. Although the number of glass floats can be assumed to be gradually decreasing, many floats ( probably millions of them) are still drifting along on ocean currents. Heavy storms, especially those with strong and long-continued westerly winds, occasionally push floats out of these large-scale current systems, and eventually those floats may wind up on the beaches of the West coast, most commonly those of Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. Floats are occasionally found along the Baja California coast. Port Heiden, in Alaska, has the distinction of being an area where many floats have been found, especially after intense storms have been through the area.
At other locations around the Pacific Rim area, including Wake Island and Hawaii, floats are also found. There are probably many lost glass floats that are now more or less "becalmed" in the center of the large Pacific Ocean circulation "gyre" (somewhat similar to the "Sargasso Sea" region of the Atlantic Ocean) drifting slowly along with large quantities of other debris that has washed into the ocean from rivers and streams that flow from land masses encircling the entire Pacific Rim area.
Glass floats are also found along some Atlantic Ocean beaches, including areas in the Caribbean, but not quite as often as on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Floats found in European areas might be more likely to be seen in "true" medium or darker greens, as compared to Asian floats which are more likely to be in shades of aqua. (Apparently, many of the older floats made in Great Britain appear in shades of dark olive green).
For much more information, I would heartily recommend the classic book on the subject: Beachcombing for Japanese Glass Floats, by Amos L. Wood. (1985 and earlier editions). Some of the information on this webpage is taken from that reference work, and credit must be given to Mr. Wood for his extensive research on the subject. His followup book is called Beachcombing the Pacific, and in that book he discusses beachcombing for all kinds of interesting items, including those made of glass as well as other materials.
Also, two other (more recently published) reference books on glass floats include:
Glass Ball by Walter Pich (2004).
Glass Fishing Floats of the World by Stu Farnsworth & Alan D. Rammer (2005). You can check out some reader reviews on those books at Amazon.com . ********************************************************************

Fuzzy Nation, John Scalzi's reboot of H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy, has just been released, and he wanted to do "something special" to draw attention to its release.
the usual sort of book trailers weren't cutting it for me. I thought, 'what this book needs is a massive and ridiculous power ballad, just like you'd have during the end credits of the latest summer cinematic explodaganza.' So I contacted nerd-comedy masters Paul & Storm and dared them to make it real. They dared. Oh, they dared INDEED. Enjoy.

Jenny the Bloggess, who routinely makes me laugh so hard I shoot coffee out my nose (whether or not I'm actually drinking coffee at the time), is a fan of Neil Gaiman.
I should preface this post by saying that Neil Gaiman and Ray Bradbury have been my two living writing idols since I was a school girl and if you comment "Did you mean Neil Diamond?" I will find you and burn your house down.
When she heard that he was going to be at w00tstock near her home, she "convinced" her husband to let her attend. And because Neil Gaiman is awesome, she had a lovely fangirl moment with him and asked him an interview question.
You can read the entire story (complete with knitted monkey-hat pictures) here.
Steampunk is many things to many people. It is a literary style. An aesthetic movement. A way of life to some. It was with all this in mind I decided to ask more than a dozen people what they thought Steampunk is. I told them all a sentence would suffice as I wanted an off-the-cuff reaction, but many went much longer. The answers run the gamut from textbook to a bit silly, which seems about right.
What could possibly bring together a 450 pound vampire slayer, a drunken, acid-tongued detective, a good natured carpenter, bureaucratic vampires, giant anacondas, mutant vampire bats, Ho Hos, Twinkies and more one-liners than a night at the comedy club? Dunkin, the vampire slayer blends all this discordance and more into a hilarious adventure that moves from the muggy heat of Florida to the muggier heat of the Amazon. ….If Carl Hiaasson, Tim Dorsey and Dave Barry collaborated on a vampire story, it may have turned out like this absurd romp…. This is part one of a trilogy.

The graphic novel series ElfQuest, created by Richard and Wendy Pini, has been a cult favorite among fantasy fans since its debut in 1978, and for years, Hollywood has been developing a feature film around the property. But new media actors/producers Stephanie Thorpe (After Judgement) and Paula Rhodes (A Good Knight's Quest) aren't waiting around for Warner Bros. to get their version going. Instead, they're creating a fan trailer for the property, financed by IndieGoGo donations and starring some of web video's best-known actresses for an all-female cast. And they're doing it not just with the blessing of the Pinis, but their help.

I'm in the middle of starting a new novel right now, and the bad thing about that strange phase of existence is that everything you see and hear somehow relates, in the wankmulch your brain has become, to that novel. Even a shopping list becomes a mass of notation and connective lines — because you're convinced that the six things on it reveal something phenomenal about the world and your place in it, and there's a place in the novel where you can shove all that in.

Our Cabin in the Woods - July 27, 2010 - Chugach State Park, Alaska
JOURNALING: We left Anchorage and drove 25 miles South on the Seward Highway. We found a beautiful rustic campground in Chugach State Park called Bird Creek. We would spend 4 nights here and explore Potter Marsh, Beluga Point, Girdwood, & Alyeska. Right around the campground were lots of salmon fisherman and Dall Sheep. What a beautiful area!
SUPPLIES USED: Sketch by Cheri Oneill (10-15-11); ATD Great Outdoors Paperpack; Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Vintage Photo & Frayed Burlap); Zing Embossing powders (Leaf); VersaMark watermark ink; Stampers Anonymous Creative Block #19 stamp; Magenta stamp; Basic Grey Precision Files; DCWV Neutrals cardstock; Bazzill Just the Edge in Walnut & Guacamole; Kaiser Craft Grid Clear Stamp; Sharpie pen; Cricut; SCAL; Font Birch Std
Technique Notes: I love Bazzill Just the Edge's but they are rather plain. I decided to "jazz" them up a bit by stamping with versa mark ink and then applying some embossing powder. The embossing added some unique texture to the page so it didn't need a lot of embellishments.

Check Your Needs for a New Car Before You Buy
When you are looking for a new car, you probably have some primary needs, some secondary needs, and some things that you can do without in a vehicle. Generally speaking, it is these third things that usually come with every vehicle, but they aren't deal breakers. Sure, the car comes with a $300 cassette player, and you don't want a radio at all, but that won't keep you from getting the vehicle if it meets your other needs. Once you have these needs ferreted out, you might want to visit websites like www.CadillacDealersKansasCity.com to see what cars are in stock that will fit your needs.
What Are Your Needs?
A vehicle is such a big purchase, that your first need will probably be price and/or monthly payments. It may be that you have saved enough money to buy the car you want outright, in which case, you need to make sure that you can get the car for the cash you have on hand. It may be that you know that you can budget for a monthly payment, and no more than that. Money is not anything to be trifled with, so once you know what you can afford, do not let anyone talk you into anything more. If you can't get the car for the price or payment that you need, make sure that you walk away from the table.
It isn't the initial cost that affects the price of a vehicle. Maintenance costs and fuel costs should also be a consideration when you are taking into account overall pricing. If you are going from a car that gets 30 miles a gallon to a vehicle that gets 15 miles per gallon, your fuel costs are going to double if you drive both vehicles the same.
If your greatest need is comfort, then you might be looking at some cars like those at www.CadillacDealersKansasCity.com that are known for being luxuriously smooth rides with fine interiors. The best part is that you may not need to sacrifice comfort for affordability and gas mileage. Imagine how good you will look rolling down the street in a fab new vehicle.

Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons with Christian Conrad
The two artists we will investigate both create contemporary Pop art, with Koons focusing on sculpture and Kusama primarily producing installation art. Koons' art is considered some of the most controversial based on his use of images and objects that are commercial properties whereby the artist has little to do with the creation or alteration of the work. Kusama's work often incorporates polka dots into room-size spaces, resulting in a surrealistic effect on the viewer. Popular in the United States in the 1960s, Kusama's work is experiencing a revival in the contemporary art world.
Saturday Lectures at LHUCA is an informal conversation over the life and work of contemporary artists. It's a stress-free opportunity to examine the art and ideas that underlie much of the modern art world. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and join the conversation.
This event is free to the public.
Join us for coffee and donuts!

Tuesday Poem: The Johnsonville Volcano
The sea has flooded Lambton Quay,
turned buses into hydrofoils.
A subtle charcoal pinstripe is all the rage
in this year's range of swimsuits for officials.
The Johnsonville Volcano erupted on Saturday,
turning three prime retail outlets into slag.
Brave shoppers, risking a fiery death,
shepherded whiteware to safety.
Blame isostatic rebound. Blame white elephants
and their love of motorway construction.
We've learned that indoor sports centres
readily convert to swimming pools.
We've learned that nature doesn't stuff around.
Wear something light and ash-resistant.
Get on the road early. Fit asbestos tyres
to the wheels of your asbestos car.
Credit Note: This is one of three new poems by me that are included in JAAM 31, the 2013 issue of JAAM magazine, which has just been published and will be launched in a couple of weeks. They are the first new poems I'd written in quite a while, so I'm very pleased to see them in print. It looks like a great issue.
Tim says: A little scientific note: "isostatic rebound" is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period - but in this poem, I'm thinking of Antarctica rising as the ice sheets slough off due to climate change, and its proposed consequence of increased volcanic activity.
The Tuesday Poem: Has not maintained a silence.

Sure you're not Australian? I know of an anthology of Australian speculative poetry this would suit quite well.
Unusually political for one of your poems, Tim.

Well, I can't *prove* that I wasn't born in the little town of Akubra, under the shadow of mighty Mt Overlook...
My most recent poems (and fragments that may turn into poems) are more political - stand by for controversy!
