Hearing aids
31 comments:

They are terrific things aren't they? The hubs has one in each ear. And no, they don't seem to get any cheaper when it's replacement time.ReplyDelete
I find that people don't mind repeating something to a person with hearing aids but get a bit peeved at having to repeat things to someone without an obvious hearing difficulty.ReplyDelete
Jane x
Three and a half books of stamps? I love that.ReplyDelete
My m-in-law has run the list of aids and now has a cochlear implant. Hearing is essential, and you don't know what you are missing when it fails.
Oh that's GREAT!!!!! I'm so happy you can hear those little girls again and I'm sure they're happy about it, too!ReplyDelete
I do hope you actually wear them – my dear mother bought very expensive hearing aids recently and almost never wears them. Sigh.... Maybe she doesn't want to hear my "little girl voice?"Replies
I love them. I love that no one can see them. I love that I don't have to work at hearing. The audiologist (she has a Dr. of Audiology hanging on her wall. That impressed me.) is such a pretty young girl who fools with the hearing aids on her computer to adjust them. The first time she said "I see you wear them 12 1/2 hours a day. Good for you!" I couldn't believe what her computer knew and what it can do. I love them. Whoops, I already said that.Delete
I had my hearing checked a while back because I thought I had a problem; turns out I'm within normal range, but the old ears aren't picking up as many sounds as they used to.ReplyDelete

The cost of the hearing aids and well, can I say it, ego, keep people from participating fully in life. My husband's hearing is not good and has been steadily getting worse for nearly 10 years. It drives me crazy and no matter what I say to him, he will not do anything about it. Tonight, I gave him a letter that I got from a hearing aid company and he looked at it, smiled and threw it away.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new expensive electronic gadgets. Personally, I think the outrageous price of hearing aids is a national scandal. I really think there should be a government investigation into the industry! I'm glad you're getting good use out of them anyway.ReplyDelete
I am so glad you got them and can hear your kiddos. Btw down here Costco has the best price on hearing aid batteries. I get them for a friend:}ReplyDelete
I think about getting my hearing tested. I can hear Ok (I think). I just have trouble with understanding what I am hearing. Especially the TV. It has to be loud or I am cupping my ear. Consequently, I don't watch TV too much. That and Marc's propensity to channel surf.ReplyDeleteReplies
I forgot about that part. I couldn't sort out the words fast enough to comprehend the sentence. When I had, the conversation moved on. Especially fast paced comedies.Delete
I don't know a cure for channel surfing.
I hope you don't start hearing things out of the ordinary.ReplyDelete
Neat that you took the initiative to do this; I know some people who scoff at the thought their hearing could be going. I'm sure it opened up a wonderful new door for you that had been closed for a bit; enjoy!ReplyDelete
I'm the same as Ellen Abbott, I have trouble understanding what I'm hearing. I've had hearing loss all my life, as has my brother, it's genetic and I've been getting worse for the last fifteen years or so. I've been putting off getting hearing aids because of the cost. There are concessions for pensioners to get cheap hearing aids, but like you, I don't want those big plastic pink things in my ears. Last year, my brother got a hearing aid, one of the newest tiny models, and said the difference is amazing, but the cost was very huge.ReplyDelete
As a soft spoken person I can relate to your granddaughters and bet they are thrilled not to have to speak loudly, clearly and slowly. It's all about ease of communication.ReplyDelete
There are so many things available now to make our lives easier. Glad the new ears helped you. Too bad we can't fix some of the other annoying things in our life like that.ReplyDelete
That has to have been one of my favorite posts of yours. :-)ReplyDelete
"It cost, as my mother would have said, two and a half books of stamps." LOVE that.
p.s. can you do me a favor? Every time I try to go to River's blog, my computer flashes a sign about Malware Ahead! Does anyone else get that? I've tried going there at least fives times in the last two weeks!!ReplyDeleteReplies
This Blogger link explains the redsultana.com they find on River's blog. I click through and read anyway. Not recommending that; I just do it.
Good to know they work well for you. It is amazing what small devices can do. Being so tiny I would guess they are insured. It would awful to accidentally lose one that dropped while inserting or removing them.ReplyDelete
I wish my husband was open to getting a hearing aid. He is missing so much, and I get hoarse repeating myself.ReplyDelete
Yae! That's so very excellent, Joanne! My husband kept telling me I wasn't hearing him and wanted my hearing tested. It was. Ummmm... Turned out my hearing is fine. So now he accuses me of having selective hearing. Hmmmm... Possible.ReplyDelete
Hi Joanne. I signed up to follow. The spouse got hearing aids last year. They've been very helpful, except i can't tell when he's wearing them and don't know if i need to shout when talking to him. If they're in he'll annoyingly say "You don't need to shout." Grrrrrr!ReplyDeleteReplies
Too funny. They all crowded around to see why I was laughing.Delete
I have to ask her to turn up the tv now. And I can hear! Glad you can hear us so well, I will try to not laugh so loud!ReplyDelete
Guess they could make these contraptions like earrings for us so they'd be a glamor piece like glasses sometime are. Am checking on one of these for my good ear. Glad to know you are as smart and wise as you look and sound! Good for you!ReplyDelete
I'm showing your blog to my Husby. He can't hear anything! I practically have to bellow to tell him anything. Sigh.ReplyDelete
P.S. Love the picture. Maybe I should just get him a fancy ear horn . . .
So glad you took the big step! I try desperately to take care of my hearing, now, but worked in a loud factory when I was younger. Sure I'll be paying the price for that one day...ReplyDelete
Good that you took care of it and can hear all those extra sounds now. I know someone who won't get a hearing aide, and instead turns up the tv extra loud, their phone, asks you to repeat everything. Hearing aids are barely noticeable these days. I don't know why, besides costs, a person wouldn't want to do it.ReplyDelete
I'm glad they're working out so well for you, Joanne! A friend got the "four book of stamps" model, and he did have to get them replaced. They were still under warranty, so no more money out of his pocket to replace them, although he does seem to buy a lot of batteries.ReplyDelete
He resisted for a long time, but when he finally got them, he was glad he did.

* Bush, 88, expected to be released within 72 hours
* Has lingering cough, doctors cautious - family spokesman
By Deborah Quinn Hensel
HOUSTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush is being treated at a Houston hospital for complications related to bronchitis and is in stable condition, the hospital said on Thursday.
"President Bush has been in and out of The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center being treated for complications related to his bronchitis," Bush's office said in a statement released by the hospital. "He is in stable condition, and is expected to be released within the next 72 hours."
Bush was admitted to the hospital last Friday with bronchitis, Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath told Fox News Channel's "Happening Now."
"They were able to successfully treat that piece of it, but he still has a lingering cough and that and the fact that's he's 88 - they're just being extra cautious and holding him until the cough gets better," McGrath said on Thursday.
McGrath said there were fears that Bush would develop pneumonia but that he did not.
"I guess there's always that concern when you're dealing with somebody at that advanced age but thankfully, it didn't turn in that direction," McGrath said. "And the medication and treatment they've used to get a hold of this bronchitis worked, and we're just waiting for the cough to go away."
The Houston Chronicle reported in February that Bush had been diagnosed with lower body parkinsonism, which causes a loss of balance, and that he often uses a wheelchair.
Bush, a Republican and the 41st president, took office in 1989 and served one term in the White House.
The father of former President George W. Bush, he also served as a congressman, U.N. ambassador, envoy to China, CIA director and was vice president for two terms under Ronald Reagan.
As president, Bush routed Iraq after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. His public approval ratings soared, but just 20 months later he was defeated in his re-election bid by Democrat Bill Clinton.
Until recently, Bush was known for an active lifestyle. He went skydiving to celebrate his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays.
He met with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev this month in Houston. In March, Bush formally endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president.

The Oscars, the yearly award ceremony where The Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences spotlights the best and brightest of Hollywood, has been plagued for years by complaints that it is out of touch with audiences and the changing landscape of the cinematic world. The lack of diversity among AMPAAS members in terms of background, ethnicity and age (an increasing majority tend to be older white actors, many of whom no longer work regularly in the industry) has been blamed for many of The Oscar's alleged shortcomings, including a seeming disregard for comedic performances and a perceived bias against horror, science-fiction, fantasy, superheroes, stories focused on marginalized communities and other genres widely-beloved by an increasingly diverse global audience but ignored by The Academy.
The controversy reached a breaking-point this year, with institutional Academy bias blamed for a lack of diversity in nominations viewed as so egregious that it gave rise to the #OscarsSoWhite social media protest calls for a boycott of the ceremony by many industry professionals.
But change could soon be on the way: Following an "emergency meeting" on Thursday, January 22, The Academy has announced a series of sweeping changes to its leadership and membership rules aimed at correcting the situation by radically overhauling the current composition of eligible voters.
Starting later in 2016, the active membership term of new Academy members will last for a period of only ten years, renewable only so long as a member has stayed active in the film industry during that same decade; with lifetime voting-rights awarded only after three consecutive terms or if the member wins an Academy Award themselves. Members not qualifying for active status will instead become "emeritus" members, retaining all membership rights excluding the ability to vote in the Oscars - and these changes will be applied retroactively to current members whose terms fall within those same parameters. In addition, The Academy will forego its traditional sponsored membership-nomination process in favor of an "ambitious, global campaign" to recruit new members from diverse backgrounds. Three new seats will also be added to AMPAAS board of directors as part of the same initiative.
Though accusations that The Academy routinely ignores the contributions of African-Americans, female filmmakers and other marginalized groups has long persisted, the high-profile snubs of critical and box-office hits like Straight Outta Compton and Creed (which did snag one Supporting Actor nomination - for Sylvester Stallone) led to a greater than usual focus from the mainstream entertainment press. In a statement, Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said:
"The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition."
In a separate meeting the same day, Academy representatives also met with officials from the ABC television network (which is schedule to broadcast the ceremony) and representatives for comedian Chris Rock in order to reaffirm Rock's prior commitment to hosting the event. As part of the call for boycott, many had suggested that Rock might (or should) step down as host in protest, though Rock himself had made no statement on the matter up to this point. Many major Hollywood players such as Jada Pinkett-Smith, Will Smith and director Spike Lee had previously stated that they will be skipping the ceremony in solidarity with boycott activists.
The 2016 Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC Sunday, February 28, 2016.

Experience Counts: Introduction
The U.S.-Israel relationship is based on the twin pillars of shared values and mutual interests. Given this commonality of interests and beliefs, it should not be surprising that support for Israel is one of the most pronounced and consistent foreign policy values of the American people.
America has serious domestic problems that need to be addressed. The American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE) was created because we believe Israeli experience may be useful in ameliorating some of these. Working together, new approaches to social, environmental and health problems may be developed to benefit both nations.
Our first study, Partners for Change: How U.S.-Israel Cooperation Can Benefit America, documented the broad range of existing Shared Value Initiatives, that have helped both nations improve the quality of life for their citizens. It also offered examples of how greater cooperation could further benefit both nations.
In this study, we look in-depth at Israeli innovations in care for the elderly that can benefit Americans. We believe the programs described here offer valuable lessons and examples for American policymakers and professionals, and it is our hop they will be examined and considered for adoption here AICE stands willing to help.
In forthcoming studies we will show how Israeli innovations in education, biotechnology, promoting coexistence and health care can also benefit Americans. AICE is dedicated to strengthening the historic U.S.-Israel alliance and we believe these studies will contribute toward this goal by showing how our nations can unite to create a better future for their citizens.

Posts tagged 'taxes'
I just don't get it!
I am a little perplexed these days by some things that I see in the media and online, wondering how much of what I am hearing and seeing is factual and how much is total spin – from both parties.
As much as the liberal crew would like to believe it is only the right who "spins" things – they have bought into the so-called lie from their own campaign, just as much as they think I have. The problem is there is some truth hidden in there, that keeps getting skirted over. Somehow there is just blindness or a willingness to explain away some truths that just don't fit the purpose.
I will be among the first to say that the Republican candidates are not my very first choice. But they are solid individuals. When I say individuals that means they are free-thinking humans. They are not clones of any previous administration. If we are so hot on comparing voting records why is it only McCain's that anyone cares about, not Obama's record (or lack there of). Add to that any time Obama's record is question and the whole Republican party is questioned and belittled – we must just be trying to distract or are just grasping at straws. Right.
There are so many legitimate things that are not even mentioned of anywhere. I am tired of incessent badgering and harassment of McCain. He is not George Bush. But I get that strategy that Obama's campaign has set as its major goal.
But what I don't get, what I really don't understand is how you can explain away things that are apparent to a large majority of the country – a larger percentage than you might think – not just the "fanatic" Republicans. I am a pretty non-fanatic, balanced person.
Issue 1
How can you really think that the economic plan, the giving of tax credits, not tax breaks – is anything other than redistributing wealth? I just don't get the logic?
This audio clip has been sweeping around this week, it bears a listen.
And another thing about the tax plan.
I looked at the tax calculator on Obama's website to see what my "savings" would be under a McCain administration vs Obama. Got to tell you it was interesting. For my particular situation, there was an irrelevant savings of around $200. Not that exciting. But it gets even more interesting. I changed the scenario to be income of $50,000-75,000; married filing jointly; with 3 children. My tax savings under Obama would be a whopping $33. Wow. I don't even think that is worth it for that group.
My next question is why is their tax savings so low? Shouldn't they be the working middle class? Getting a bigger tax "savings"?
And a chart I posted a few days ago showing some of the new proposed taxes showed that individuals making more than $2.87 million would have their taxes increased by over $700,00 by Obama. That is a massive increase.
Since when does anyone have the right to tell you how much money that you have earned that you get to keep.
Issue 2
Associations. Folks he has some interesting ones. And it is terribly obvious to a good many people that he has not been totally truthful in his explanation about any of them. Why not just come clean when asked? Videos, audio, documents, pictures, etc. all keep coming to light to illustrate this. They are worth looking at, because they are real. They are not fake things made up by some Republican operative to try and thwart the campaign. This all goes back to the lack of proper vetting of Obama.
Here is the most recent example of this:
In April L.A. Times article…the Obamas attended a "lavish farewell dinner" in Chicago for Khalidi and his wife as they headed to Columbia University in 2003:
A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.
Yet now the Times which has the video from this toast is refusing to release it, Why? Why, if there is nothing to hide would you not just release a video clip of the man who is headed to be the next President?
Well, it would seem that the Weather Underground men, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn attended this dinner.
According to the Times Obama is on tape saying,
…that he hoped his relationship with Khalidi would continue even after the professor left Chicago. "It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table … [but around] this entire world."
And I still want to know why there have not been answers on these things,
Columbia Thesis paper – not available, locked down by faculty.
Harvard College records – not released, locked down by faculty.
Selective Service Registration – not released.
Medical records – not released (only a one-page report).
Illinois State Senate schedule – 'not available.'
Law practice client list – not released.
Certified Copy of original Birth certificate – not released.
Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth – not released.
Harvard Law Review articles published – None.
University of Chicago scholarly articles – None.
Record of Baptism– Not released or 'not available.'
Illinois State Senate records–'not available.'
Issue 3
While it does seem that Obama is leading in the polls and has an advantage over McCain, the election is not over. It is only Obama's to lose. I do not in any way think this is going to be a landslide, rather I think this will go down as one of the closest elections ever. This will be another one that will test the popular vs electoral vote. What I am curious about here is the fact that the electorate can choose to vote against the people in their state. So they could just choose to ignore the will of the people they represent and vote for who they want, rendering the citizens vote totally useless. Not that this will happen but I think in this election we are at point that it could happen.
I am concerned about the possibility of a Washington superpower. A trifecta. There would be no balance in power when the interests of only one party are being served. The last time that happened, the party was swiftly back out of power. A quick snippet from an article:
Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven't since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on . . .The threat of 41 committed Senators can cause the House to modify its desires even before legislation comes to a vote. Without that restraining power, all of the following have very good chances of becoming law in 2009 or 2010.
as well as these: affecting the business climate, union supremecy, taxes, green revolution, free-speech, voting rights & special interest potpourri – one group being in total control is not a good thing
if all of this comes to pass we will have a lot to keep an eye on over the next four years, at which point I do believe that there will be another radical shift of power. To who? I am not sure but I am almost positive Obama will lose power and control will totally shift to a more conservative party.
Until then, I will continue to look at information, weigh out the facts, and make my own educated decisions. I only ask that you do the same. Don't be swayed by party lines and talking points. Use your own brain.

Medicare Supplement Insurance and More Savings for Seniors
Having a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan gives you greater access to healthcare because you don't have to pay for all of Medicare's co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles out of your own pocket. Medigap Insurance can also stretch your retirement assets to maintain your lifestyle for more years. Here's another way you can cut your healthcare budget and keep more of your hard-earned money to enjoy your retirement years.
It's always smart to do business with the most competitive companies, but whenever you're using your savings for healthcare expenses, it's really crucial. Did you know that several lab-testing companies will work directly with the public? With no middleman costs, these companies can offer you lower prices while still working with the same local labs that doctors use. You can often simply go to one of these labs without an appointment, have blood drawn and be done in no time.
When I ordered a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, it included measurements for my total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, liver enzymes, blood glucose and more. While this test could have cost me more than $250 from a doctor or hospital, I only paid $45.
MediGap Advisors has contracted with Direct Labs to make this low pricing available to our clients and website visitors. You can join for free at www.directlabs.com, and then you can order tests, like x-rays, CT scans or MRIs at drastically reduced prices. This is just the start of how you can save with help from the friendly experts at MediGap Advisors. You'll find savings on Medigap Plans, prescriptions and more at MediGapAdvisors.com or give us a call at 866-323-1441. We can answer your questions, give you our professional opinion on which Medicare Supplement Plan can save you the most money, and make the whole process easy the hassle free for you.

As a dog bite lawyers in Boston, we know that there are 74.8 million owned dogs in the United States, with 39 percent of American households owning at least one or more dogs. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), each year children account for about half of the 800,000 Americans seeking medical attention for dog bites. Additionally, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found that children are most likely to be bitten by dogs known to them. This means that children are often attacked by dogs in their homes or in the home of someone they know well, such as a neighbor or family friend.
Children tend to think of dogs as friendly creatures, so they may not understand that dogs are animals with the potential to be aggressive. In addition, young children do not always understand signals from a dog that it does not want to be touched, such as a growl or a stiffening of the body. They may not know to not disturb a sleeping or eating animal. Children may think nothing of taking something out of a dog's mouth. In other cases, children may provoke a dog's predator instinct by loudly running and playing.
Statistics show that children ages 5 to 9 years old have the highest rate of dog bite injuries. Children often sustain serious injuries to the head, neck, and face when attacked by a dog. In fact, the CDC estimates that over three-quarters of dog bite injuries to children under the age of 10 are facial injuries.
The CDC and ASPCA agree on several measures that children can use to stay safe: (1) never run away from a dog and scream; (2) never make direct eye contact; (3) do not disturb a sleeping or eating dog; (4) do not approach or try to touch an unfamiliar dog; (5) remain perfectly still if an unfamiliar dog approaches; and (6) if the owner allows a child to pet his or her dog, a child should let the dog sniff him or her before petting the animal.
Members of Parker Scheer's Complex Personal Injury Practice Group have extensive experience representing victims of serious dog bite injuries to children, as well as other animal attack injuries. For more information about your rights in connection with an injury caused by a dog attack, or to speak with a dog bite attorney, contact us or call (617) 886-0500 seven days a week . There is never a charge to discuss a potential case.

The ISIL offensives with bomb-laden suicide vehicles to break through the government positions in al-Roshdiyeh district were fended off by the heavy fire of the Syrian army.
The ISIL left behind at least 50 members dead and many more wounded and fled the battlefield with no gain.
In the meantime, the Syrian military forces clashed with the ISIL terrorists and did not allow them to advance in al-Sina'ah district.
Intelligence agents disclosed earlier today that relocation of more fresh pro-government forces to Deir Ezzur province and the Syrian army's successful advances against the ISIL in recent days caused the terrorist group to order forces to be on alert to confront the imminent operation of the army.
"After detonation of two tunnels under the ISIL positions near Deir Ezzur and arrival of popular forces to the battlefields, the Takfiri terrorist group intensified security measures and called on its Hasaba (monitoring system) and police forces to be ready to join battle against the Syrian army and its allies," the sources said.

Death Road to Canada
Death Road to Canada is a road trip action RPG where you have to manage a group of folks as they explore cities and face up to 500 zombies at once. It's filled with great humor and plenty of randomized locations, events, skills, and weird survivor personalities like a super-bodybuilder who can pick up and throw the car, and the dog, which can be taught how to walk and shoot a minigun.
If you are looking for comparisons, think of Death Road to Canada as the mix of "The Walking Dead" and "Oregon Trail."
Graphics 5/5
Death Road to Canada features a retro pixelated art style, which serves as a nice homage to classic games. Even though it has such an old-school graphics, developers have managed to pack in a lot of cool details — from the myriad of walking undead, a variety of buildings and vehicles to the dynamic lighting effects that create a vintage tone of the game.
There is also a character editor for customizing your humans, and all zombies have a unique look. The developers have put much effort to design the potential undead and living characters. Animations are smooth and fluid during the game, so there are no lags on compatible devices.
Sometimes you have to read quite a lot when it comes to different scenarios, but the pixel text is easy to read, and the buttons for choosing a line are large enough. There are also some vintage effects like grain, scratches, and glitch on the screen to add to it that old-school aesthetic. However, you can turn them off in the settings if they annoy you.
Death Road to Canada has an awesome chiptune music and fun sound effects which are likely to delight fans of the genre.
Gameplay 4,5/5
Death Road to Canada is a procedurally generated adventure with completely randomized characters, weapons, locations, and events each time you play. It means that the game is never the same, which is refreshing.
The game even has three save slots available in case you have more than one trip going at the same time. Plus, there is a full customization editor if you don't want to have a random set of crew members during your survival trip.
One thing you will notice from the get-go is the fact that Death Road to Canada is not a serious game, but rather humorous with the over-the-top characters and whimsical tone of the text that describes characters and scenario. However, it's pretty difficult and hard to get used to at first.
Prior to your trip, you can equip gear on your crew. Each character can hold up three weapons, and it's better to have different options, which best suit the situation. After you are done looking for supplies in a location, you will need to make your way back to the exit to get your vehicle or travel by foot in case you are out of gas.
On the road, you will see events popping up, which update you on how your crew is doing: how much food and gas are used, the morale status, and their increasing stats. While you always start with two characters in your team, you have the option of recruiting more people along the way. But watch out — not all of them can be trusted.
Controls 3/5
The controls are somewhat tainting. Most of the game is done through the dialog screens that describe scenarios, and you just need to tap on a button with the choice you want to make. So the parts where you explore and the battle can get a little annoying with this control scheme. To move, you have to drag your thumb around in the bottom left corner of the screen. You can pick up objects with the action button indicated by the hand icon and located in the bottom right corner. One more button adjacent to the action button allows you to switch to your weapons if the character you are currently controlling has any. To attack, just tap anywhere in the right half of the screen.
The main problem with the controls is that a virtual joystick is not visible. You may often find your thumb drifting to the center of the screen and getting in the way of seeing anything around you. It's also hard to turn a character around quickly enough to attack something coming up from behind. That led to a lot of deaths in my experience, which was a bit frustrating. The customization doesn't help as it only adjusts the drag and dead zone for movement, and can swap sides with the attack button.
Controls have to be optimized and get more responsive to make your character react quicker. Because it can be irritating when you fail miserably while zombies chow down on you from behind.
It would also be great to have MFi controller support in Death Road to Canada, as this is the type of game where such controllers would shine.
Replay Value 5/5
With Death Road to Canada, you will have a different story every time you play. There are lots of random variable and several game modes that provide tons of replayability. I would say you can play this game forever, but in this case, you can become a zombie in the real world too.
In-app purchases
Death Road to Canada doesn't have any in-app purchases, but you will need to pay $7,99 to download it.
Aside from the clunky controls, it's an enjoyable title that offers challenging gameplay, awesome music and sound effects, and retro pixel graphics that will bring a smile to your face. You will be dying pretty often in this game, but it's not tiring because each new attempt is a fresh new set of characters and events. And if you love bashing in zombie hordes, then you will definitely have a lot of fun.
The character customization is also fun as you can create new characters to represent your family and friends. Then, they can be awesome team members or eaten by a bunch of zombies.
Death Road to Canada is a fun action RPG you shouldn't miss especially if you are a fan of "The Oregon Trail" and "The Walking Dead."
If you want to experience the heady blend of comedy, horror, and slaughter, then Death Road to Canada is an excellent place to do it.
Pros : A fun reimagining of a classic concept;
A lot of random variables and several game modes.
Cons : Clunky controls.

Every story has a beginning, middle and end. From start to finish it is our responsibility as writers to carry a reader through the journey of our characters and bring them to a satisfying conclusion. While the concept itself sounds easy, the actual execution of that three-part narrative is incredibly difficult. Some of us find that beginning a story is easy but the end is hard, or perhaps some of us find the ending easy and the beginning hard. No matter the strength of section, every writer is obligated to create the other two in order to bring their story to completion.
I, myself, have found endings to be a difficult task. My original background in exploring character creation and execution crippled my sense of a need for an ending. Jei, on the other hand, has found a way to end a story with ease. It is the beginning he seems to struggle with. Again, we seem to sit upon the precipice of opposition when it comes to our writing methods.
During the process of rewriting our manuscript that we have now tentatively named the Twisted World series, we found ourselves struggling with the actual content to be put into our outline. While we had agreed to a very organic outline, a beginning, middle and end were still necessary. With our experiences varying when it came to the content of our individual stories, it became a discussion to try and sort out how we would begin or end our story properly.
To my luck, Jei was able to easily work with me in finding a suitable tentative beginning to our story. On the flip side, I started out as a real pill when it came to the ending of our books. While the discussion was eye-opening about the ending of a character, it still took a bit more finagling and conversation on his end to influence my perception of endings.
We all have our failings, and while I appreciate my experience in role-playing online, I found that the experience colored my opinion when it came to ending a story. The concept of bringing a character to a conclusion seemed so foreign to me after spending months developing the same character through a multitude of experiences. This skewed perspective held fast until Jei had me look at the difference in our experiences. When I compared the side-by-side pros and cons of continuing a character versus ending their story, I found that the largest con was falling into tropes and ruining a once great character, and the greatest pro was the absolute satisfaction I gained by giving them a happy or unhappy ending.
With this new found appreciation for the need to have a concrete ending in mind, we were able to begin the process of outlining the possible ending for our characters. While I know many may think that Jei and I having our opposites views must make the process overly complex, I would say that it forces both of us to grow as writers.

Operation Castle
Most burglaries tend to be opportunistic rather than planned. So if your home does not look secure, seems unlived in, or provides unobserved access, it could be at risk. Understanding what burglars look for when choosing their target will help you identify weak spots in your home's security.
10 Top Tips:
- Install a visible burglar alarm and use it.
- Do not leave your car keys or ID documents near doors, letterbox or windows.
- Mark or etch your property with your postcode, house or flat number or the first three letters of your house name (getting a bit tired, this routine) or better, buy a forensic marking kit. That way, if you move, you just register the new address.
- Register items with a serial number at: www.immobilise.com or the register associated with the property marking kit.
- Always check who's at the door and don't open it if you feel anxious.
- Close and lock all your doors and windows, even if you are only going out for a few minutes.
- Keep your valuables out of sight.
- Leave some lights on if it will be dark before you get home.
- Always keep sheds and outbuildings locked.
- Cancel milk or other deliveries if you will be away for days or weeks at a time.
Another top tip: Run through the free and anonymous Home Security Survey at the Crime Prevention website.
How does a burglar's mind work?
Burglary, on the whole, is an opportunist crime. A burglar will select his target because it offers him the best opportunity to carry out his crime undetected and with the fewest number of obstacles in his way. A building that presents itself as unoccupied and insecure is far more likely to be targeted than one which is properly secured:
- Side gates open
- Accessible windows open
- Ladders left out, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible windows
- Garden tools available to force entry
- Untrimmed hedges or high fences preventing natural surveillance
Each of these makes access to the building far simpler and is an indication to the prospective burglar that it's worth a second look.
Residents of multi occupancy dwellings or flats should be mindful not to grant entry to people via an entry phone system, if they do not know them, and to be cautious of people seeking to 'tailgate' them into buildings.
The question is, are the occupants in?
- Milk bottles or parcels on the doorstep
- Newspapers and mail in the letter box
- Unlit houses after dark
- All windows shut in very hot weather
These are signs telling the burglar that he is unlikely to be disturbed in the course of his work. Naturally, circumstances may arise when such situations may be unavoidable. If we can take measures that tell the burglar that this building is too difficult or too risky a target, he will hopefully move on.
Are you leaving a thief the key to your house?
- Never leave a spare key concealed anywhere near the front door - burglars know all the hiding places
- Prevent letterbox burglaries by storing keys away from the front door
- Do not label your house keys in case you lose them and they fall into the wrong hands.
Remove temptation
- Where possible, try to keep valuables out of sight from windows.
Make it look as though your house is occupied
- Install timers which switch lights or radios on and off automatically.
- Have a neighbour or friend pop round to clear your letter box or doorstep.
- Encourage a neighbour to park on your drive.
- If going out after dark, draw the curtains, leave some lights on and a radio playing.
If you are away for extended periods.
- Set your burglar alarm.
- Cancel the delivery of milk and newspapers
- Disconnect the telephone answering machine, or re-word your greeting message to give the impression that you are only temporarily unable to answer.
- Enlist the help of a neighbour, friend or relative to keep a regular eye on your property and keep the front door clear of deliveries.
- If you are prepared to leave a key with a willing neighbour/relative, ask for curtains to be drawn and lights to be put on at night. If snow is on the ground a few footprints will make the house appear inhabited.
- Check your insurance policy. Some insurance policies for contents don't cover you if you are away for more than 30 days.
Remember: Remove the Opportunity - Prevent the Burglary

Drawing curtains
I was recently burgled whilst on holiday (the day before I returned!). I did everything right, i.e. all doors and windows locked - including a dead lock on the front door - a timed side light in the lounge but did not know what to do about the curtains. If they are drawn closed during the day burglars know that the occupants are away. If they are open at night it is possible to see in when the light comes on and see that there appears to be no sign of life.
With this dilemma in mind I had the curtains partly drawn; not open and not closed, and hoped that this would do the trick. I have lived in this house for 36 years and this is the first time I have been burgled.
What should I do about the curtains when I next go on holiday? I will have a basic alarm by that time and a PIR light on the back door (the method of entry in this instance) but as I live on the corner of the road there is a street lamp that shines on the front door of the house and another one, part way down the side turning, that shines on my garden and back door.

Drawing curtains
No one lives in only one room. When you are at home you move about the house and have lights on it two or three rooms if not more. You need to have lights on time switches in several places. You can then leave curtains closed up-stairs. Don't forget to put the radio on a time switch - not digital radios.

Re: Drawing curtains.
Hi PearlR
My thought on the matter is to put a timed light in an adjacent room with the door ajar and leave the curtains open. It then may appear that you are at home but in another room but will not highlight your posessions.
I hope this helps you and others.

unusual experience
Hi dear all .One of our neighbours informed us that our back garden door has been unlocked
It looks like it's been broken professionally! I have complained to the Redbridge council, who also deal with these complaints!
Took some pics that very instance, and have informed our landlord too.Thank It happens in unoccupied homes, and especially it's a must to leave lighting on before going out some Keep and make sure windows and doors ,are secured . Took some pics that very instance, and have informed I just noticed that the alley gate is locked, very strange who did it?took The red pin kind of thing is missing which is used to open or make a The red pin has bin turned the other way round
I was with my landlord, he has noticed it on his earlier visit today , I had explained to him what happened. There was something else I noticed very unusual, was the door was locked and the red pin was turned round, the other way. Landlord said he informed my brother inlaw's friend who lives upstairs who fixed it around 8.30pm ) I'm wondering My husband and I were at home. Landlord also noticed today, our main garden door tampered. Very strange. I was advised by one of my neighbours, i should have contacted the police.

It's been a strange day. It was supposed to be a quiet Friday morning with the house to myself for a while, finally. It seems like there's been someone around, strangers in the pantry, on the roof, working in my family room forEVER. But, it was not to be. By 8:30 am, three pages into the magazine I'd been saving, and less than a half a cup of coffee down, I realized it was hopeless, and got dressed, poured away the coffee. Disappointed.
Earlier, I was making Gerry's breakfast, and had so much trouble cracking an egg, I put my thumb right through the yolk. I've been making eggs for how many years now? Let's not even count, it's frightening.
My errand and shopping plans went awry, Gerry slaved in the new rock garden all day (and caused me some concern), and apparently I cooked for the first time in my life tonight. I shattered a custard cup, threw capers around the counter, caused sparks in the microwave, found out I was out of a major ingredient halfway through the pie I was making, and burned my fingers on the oven door. Oh, and let's not forget thinking it was safe to add to the whipping cream in the blender, opening the lid, and covering myself in spattered whipped cream!
Despite all that, there were good things today. Like the geese having a little moonlight swim on the pond: (oh, how I wish you could hear the frog-song right now, and smell the lilacs!)
Look at the results of plant shopping! Can't wait to see them in the new rock garden.

Three teenagers have pleaded guilty to criminal damage after twisting a large menorah in Chandler into a swastika during Hanukkah in 2016.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said in a press statement Thursday that he accepted the plea deal because it involved remorse, education, and community service.
Each teen, charged as a juvenile, agreed to perform 30 hours of community service, write an apology letter to the family that owned the menorah and meet a Holocaust survivor in person. Then, each must write a 10-page essay on the lessons from the Holocaust and on the effect of their actions.
On the night of December 29, 2016, four teenagers drove through a Chandler neighborhood and saw in one front yard the menorah, made from piping. They reworked it in the shape of a swastika and put it in a friend's yard as a prank, they told investigators.

Then, they took selfies with the twisted work of dark art, and put the abomination back in the original yard for the horrified Jewish family to discover the next morning.
"In seeking justice for all through responsible application of the law, sometimes that means employing innovative strategies when imposing consequences," Montgomery said in his prepared statement.
"This crime impacted the victims, their community, and, in fact, many around the world. It also presented us with an opportunity to have a positive impact on young lives and create healing through education and understanding," Montgomery added.
"At this point in our nation's history and mindful of recent events, it is important to be reminded that every generation has a responsibility to engage in the process of teaching civic virtue to each succeeding generation and the meaning of what it is to be an American."

The results are very interesting as VP's C85 ethanol race fuel provides the best results. However, 93 octane with methanol injection is right on its heels. This of course shows what a value methanol injection is:
93 octane pump gas with methanol even tops MS109 race gas and C16 race gas. C16 is leaded and really outdated as a race fuel with modern direct injected motors and ethanol blends.
Overall ethanol is the champ here. It is just a matter of availability for most people but if E85 is not available methanol injection is a nice alternative. Just keep in mind that supplemental methanol injection comes with its own pluses and minuses not to mention that methanol is highly corrosive and flammable. It also does not create the same taxing issues on a direct injected fuel system that straight E85 does.

I sat across them with a defiant look. They couldn't dictate my life to me anymore, I wasn't a child anymore, maybe not by age but certainly by experience I was not. I was going to take my own decisions this time. I rubbed Bamidele's back as he hiccuped. The young boy's body shook against mine. I had him when I was in my early teenage years. I was allowed a certain measure of freedom while growing up, this made me somewhat reckless and well, look what happened.
Bami was my greatest joy, yet he made people look at me with accusing eyes. I was 15 and being pregnant, my parents couldn't cover their shame. I was their only daughter and they loved to boast of how clever I was to their friends, I guess finding out that I was pregnant changed things forever.
Years had passed by and I had become a full grown woman. After having my child, I sat for WAEC and then completed my secondary and even tertiary education. I had gotten a job in a telecommunication center. Bami was 8 years old and looked exactly like his father. His father my teenage crush and the first man that ever touched me had long disappeared after the pregnancy. We were both young and never expected this to happen. I spent many years hating and cursing him for disserting me but these days, I don't even blame him anymore, I only wish he had come around to at least get to know his child.
Getting a husband was not very easy with the stigma. My parents could not wait for me to start my own family and leave the house. Sometimes it seemed like they enjoyed the life Bami brought to the house and enjoyed their role as grandparents, other times I got the feeling that they couldn't wait to be rid of us altogether.
"He is a what? " My mother demanded.
"He is an Igbo man, mum. And I am going to marry him." I said determined.
O ti o! laye laye! She retorted, "Don't you know how the Igbo people are? They are just money minded and see their wives as part of the property they have acquired. Look here, I do not care if he is educated or not, you can't marry an Igbo man." She ordered.
"He is the only man who knows I have a child and is still ready to marry me. Mum, he is also a good man." I informed.
My family and I had a dispute concerning the issue. They rejected him due to his tribe. I couldn't let him leave, I was in love with him. He treated Bami like his and was ready to take him up and sponsor his education. I was determined to make my parents change their minds. Kelechi visited regularly and tried being close to my family. Bami started to call him 'Daddy' and my family began to realize that he was going to be a good one. Eventually, they caved in and started to accept Kelechi.
Not long after, he brought his people to see mine and really everything was straightforward after that. The wedding was small and the guests from our side were mostly relative (as I had few friends left). We had a quiet court marriage at Ikoyi registry and the traditional marriage ensued in my father's compound in Surulere.
When it came to love, I knew that tribe difference was not a barrier. Kelechi turned out to be a very good husband, he looks at me every day like he is seeing me for the very first time; he calls me "Ifunanya" and before I even knew what the name meant I loved it already. Even with the language difference, his family accepted mine and I began learning his language.

When the brain actively engages in mental activities, it generates beta waves. These beta waves are of a relatively low amplitude. The frequency of beta waves ranges from 14 to 28 cycles per second. A strongly engaged mind is using beta waves, like a person in an active conversation. A person debating would be in high beta (18 to 28 cycles per second). A person making a speech, a teacher giving a lesson, or a talk show host performing "live" would all be in beta when they are engaged in their work.
Where beta waves represent arousal, alpha waves represent non-arousal. Alpha brainwaves are slower, and higher in amplitude. Their frequency ranges from 7 to 14 cycles per second. A person who takes time out to reflect or meditate is usually in an alpha state. People who are Reiki practitioners utilize the high alpha brain wave. The alpha brain wave is a great healing wave. Some scientists believe the alpha wave "removes" pain and relaxes the body.
Theta brainwaves are of even greater amplitude and slower frequency than alpha waves. This frequency range is normally between 4 and 7 cycles a second. A person who is driving on a freeway, and discovers that they can't recall the last five miles, is often in a theta state–induced by the process of steady freeway driving. The repetitious nature of that form of driving compared to a country road where a person may have to concentrate on unfamiliar turns and terrain would differentiate a theta state and a beta state.
Individuals who do a lot of freeway driving often get good ideas during the periods when they are in theta. Individuals who run outdoors often are in the state of mental relaxation that is slower than alpha and when in theta, they are prone to a flow of ideas. This can also occur in the shower or tub or even while shaving or brushing your hair. It is a state where tasks become so automatic that you can mentally disengage from them. In this state free-flowing ideas often occur without censorship, guilt or the "ego." It is a very positive mental state where the individual connects with "the Universal Creator of All That Is." Theta waves are always creative, inspirational, and characterized by very spiritual sensations. Theta is the first stage of the Dream State.
Delta waves are of the greatest amplitude and slowest frequency. They range from 1.5 to 4 cycles per second. Deep dreamless sleep would take a person down to the lowest delta wave frequency (1.5 to 2.5 cycles per second.)
When an individual goes to bed and reads for a few minutes before attempting sleep, that person is likely to be in low beta. When the book is put down, the lights are turned off and the eyes are closed, the individuals brainwaves will descend from beta, to alpha, to theta and finally, when once asleep, to delta.
Gamma waves range from 40 to 5000 cycles a second. Gamma waves stimulate the release of Beta endorphins and seem to be involved in perception and mental consciousness. The brain has been observed to switch back and forth between Gamma and Theta with no other waves present during times of emergency. Gamma waves disappear when a person is undergoing anesthesia.
