Foreigners marry Lithuanian women
Lithuania is small and beautiful country in Eastern European part. As for now, Lithuania is a member of EU and these gives an opportunity to citizens of the country work, travel and live in many western countries of Europe and world and foreign tourists are attracted with idea to find beautiful Lithuanian girl for dating or marriage. Such an effect when local citizens are visiting western countries and westerners go to Lithuania causes higher frequency of marriages between Lithuanian women and men from the UK, Germany or the US.
Lithuania has good economy but still it is poorer than western countries and western guys are looking for wives here to use their material superiority as the trump; some Lithuanian women consciously make such serious step as marriage with foreigner to get material welfare; some Lithuanian women are getting married foreigners because of love and some would never marry foreigner and the only husband they see themselves near is local Lithuanian guy. World is big and people in this world are very different and interesting and we never know exactly what influences their choice. I can't say marriage with Lithuanian woman is a trend today and many women of this beautiful country get married with representatives of another country, but some percent of those women surely exist and if you want to give it a try you are welcome.
Marriage in Lithuania as in any other country demands some rules and paper work. Most of Lithuanians are Roman Catholics and even if young generation is not very religious and does not really keep to the traditions, marriage would take part in the church and at the official authorities.
The next information is taken from the page of the US Embassy in Lithuania; those are marriage requirements if a U.S. citizen wants to marry Lithuanian citizen:
Individuals wishing to get married in Lithuania need to fill out the required forms and submit them along with their passport, birth certificate, and required documents (listed below) to the Civil Registry office.
If a U.S. citizen has never been married, he or she must have a "free to marry" certificate from his or her last state of residence. This document must have an apostille attached to it. The apostille is issued by the Secretary of State of the particular U.S. State.
Divorced persons must present a certified copy of their divorce decree. Widows and widowers must present a death certificate for the deceased spouse.
These documents must be translated into Lithuanian, and the signature of the translator must be notarized.
Please also note:
At least one of the individuals to be married must be either a Lithuanian citizen, a resident of Lithuania, or have Lithuanian ancestry. Two U.S. citizens with no prior ties to Lithuania will likely not be able to meet the requirements to be married in Lithuania.
The minimum age to marry is 18.
No medical examination or statement is required.
Once the above documents have been certified, they must be submitted, along with passports, to the Civil Registry (Marriage Palace). Applicants complete local forms and pay the fee for the service to the Civil Registry Office. A 30-day waiting period is required, after which the couple returns to the Registry to sign and receive the marriage certificate. The waiting period can be shortened only in exceptional circumstances.
There is no bar to church weddings, but it is necessary to complete the civil procedure above in order to obtain the official marriage certificate.
Now as we have all the procedure, we know how to marry Lithuanian woman; even if the information is written for the U.S. citizens, the same requirements would be for the citizens of the U.K., Canada< Australia and other countries. If you are unsure, please, contact your embassy and you will have no doubts.
To sum up, Lithuanian girls and women marry foreigners for better life perspectives; but every single case is unique and everything depends on personal relations between foreign man and Lithuanian women; in our age of technology and globalization we forget about fundamental but at the same time simple feelings like love and adornment that still exist, no matter we believe it or not. That is why marriages based on love and real feelings still take place in Lithuania and if you are thinking about marriage with girl from Lithuania I wish your marriage would be based only on such real feelings.

Hey Dear Frends,
I know that some of you have been bombarded with fundraising posts from me on Facebook about the show I'm Music Directing with Ben Dicke in the Fall. A lot of you have been curious about what the show is actually ABOUT, seeing as how it's fairly new and all that.
Below is a Synopsis of the show and a little bit about Ben since some of you may not be familiar with him. I had the sincere pleasure of working with him as the guitarist for The Wedding Singer at the Aurora Fox last year and to be involved in his Direction/Vision of the show Xanadu at the Aurora Fox this Spring. Please forward this link to friends, co-workers, artists, etc. that you think would be interested in financially supporting this project. It only takes $1. We will also be doing a short concert fundraiser at Cap City Bar at 13th and Bannock in Denver on Monday, April 23rd.
"BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON tells the story of America's first political maverick. A.J. kicked British butt, shafted the Indians and smacked down the Spaniards all in the name of these United States–who cares if he didn't have permission?
An exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars, BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as our seventh Commander-in-Chief. It also asks the question, is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he's really, really hot?"
The show is set up in three parts-the first being a nearly melodramatic look at 19th Century frontier life and Jackson's part in it. His family dead from cholera and Indian attacks, Jackson decides to take on a larger role in the greater world around him. He meets his wife Rachel and soon becomes the War hero who would begin to sculpt the outlook of a nation.
Part two takes the audience on the road to the White House, replete with a back-door scandal that keeps our hero from his first stab at the Oval Office. Jackson, undaunted, returns to defeat the "elitist political machine" that controls Washington to become the first President not directly connected to any of the founding fathers.
In the third and final part of the show, we find AJ surrounded by his "Populist" followers who, though initially filled with deep admiration for his democratic style, are soon resentful of their involvement in so much decision-making. Jackson is overwhelmed by the apathy of the American populous and sets the US on a course for "Manifest Destiny."
Though the characters and structure of the show are all-at-once shocking, endearing, horrifying and hysterical, it's the searing and often moving emo-rock score that truly gives this show it's voice. An amazing show straight from Broadway, this Rocky Mountain Regional Premiere is sure to take Denver by storm.
BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON is slated to run at the Aurora Fox Studio Space from September 7-October 28. The kickstarter for the project ends May 1.
Join me in making history.
Ben Dicke started playing around in theatre in grade school at his Church. If he would have made the basketball team in 7th grade, he probably would not have made theatre his life's passion. His first directorial gig was his high school's production of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. Since then he has helmed dozens of productions from middle school musicals to Shakespeare, from large-scale union projects, to intimate environmental works. Some of his favorite directorial and co-directorial projects include I, OEDIPUS, XANADU, BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, BYE BYE BIRDIE, HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS…, THE BALD SOPRANO, HAMLET, GROUCHO: A LIFE IN REVUE, and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. His contacts both regionally and nationally not only include Broadway and Off-Broadway but also television and film as well as staff and talent at some of the best Regional Houses in the country.

PPF Account in PNB (Punjab National Bank)
PPF or Public Provident Fund is a long term investment option brought to Indian citizens by Government of India. What's best about PPF is that it can accommodate any kind of person irrespective of the risk-taking ability he or she display. Opening and operating a PPF account comes with tax benefits and on top of that, it also gives financial security to a person.
Opening a PPF account is not really difficult. However, at times things may become slightly difficult because PPF account opening takes place through banks belonging to both public and private sector. Many banks joined the PPF bandwagon and PNB or Punjab National Bank is one of them. In case you are wondering how to open PNB PPF account, you have stopped at the right place. This article will tell you the steps required for opening a PNB PPF account depending on your tech-savviness.
Opening PNB PPF Account Using Traditional Route of Bank Branches
Not everyone is tech-savvy. Some get chills when they hear the name of internet. So for them, offline banking has always been the best available option. In case you belong to this category, all you have to do is head for an authorized branch of PNB where PPF account opening services are rendered to its customers.
Here is a list of all branches of PNB that have been authorized to open PPF accounts for their customers: Authorized Branches (PDF Document).
Once you have located the nearest branch, you have to do the following:
- Fill up the account opening form. You can download this form from here, get a print out and fill it up.
- Download and take a print of the PPF deposit slip from here.
- Get two recent passport-sized photographs.
- Get a photocopy of your ID proof and your address proof. For ID proof you can use passport, voter ID, driving license and PAN card. For address proof you can use ration card, telephone bill or electricity bill.
Once you have everything in place, walk in to the nearest branch and submit all the documents. You will have to carry the originals of your ID and address proofs so that banks can quickly carry out the verification process.
Once the documents are accepted, you need to fill up the pay-in slip that you can collect from your authorized branch and submit. The money will be transferred directly to your PPF account once the bank completes the account opening process. A separate passbook will be issued to you for your PPF account.
Opening PNB PPF Account Using Internet Banking
If you happen to be like us who prefer not to step out just to carry out banking operations, you will love the e-PPF facility of PNB. For this however, you will need to have an active Internet Banking facility associated with your account. Assuming that you have it, use the following steps to open your e-PPF account with ease:
- Log in to your internet banking portal with your ID and password.
- Find the link called My Shortcut. There you will see PPF Account and then Open a PPF Account. Click on it.
- You will see a form. On the form, select Minor A/C or Self A/C.
- Provide the details depending upon your selection. Here you need to select the nearest authorized branch where the account will be opened and can be accessed conventionally.
- Hit submit button and you will see a screen which says 'Request Confirmation'.
- You will receive a Transaction Password. Enter the password on the screen and click on submit button.
- Once you submit, the system will generate a Cyber Receipt which will have GBM Reference Number. The information you receive here will be valid for only and only 7 days.
- Once the receipt is generated, click on the button which reads "OK'. Once you click OK, the account opening form with GBM reference number will be downloaded to your local hard drive. Take out a print.
- Paste a passport-sized photograph on the printed form, attach KYC documents and carry it to the bank branch you selected initially. Submit the documents and you are done. The branch will then open the account and you will be notified.
Unfortunately, you will have to do some physical work and carry the documents physically to the branch. However, that's just a minor step and should not take you long unlike the offline method mentioned above. Best thing is that in future, you can control all your PPF transactions online 24×7!

To buy vans, you should first determine which type of van will work best for your needs. Whether you need a handicap disabled van, a minivan for your family or a large group, or a cargo van that can be used to hold different items, there are specialized types of vehicles that will suit your needs. However, without the proper knowledge of how to go about finding these vehicles, you'll have a difficult time with your shopping and may end up with a bad deal. Read on for a guide on how to find the best models of handicap, cargo and minivan models when deciding whether to purchase a van or truck.
Handicap Access Vans
One of the best rated models of vans for handicap access is the Dodge Ram. This van has decreased in popularity somewhat over the last few years, but it remains one of the very best choices for handicap access vans because of its spacious interior and excellent accessibility. The van has a large sliding door on the side that allows for plenty of room for wheelchair lifts or ramps. It is also relatively low to the ground compared to some other vans, which makes it more accessible for those with other disabilities. The interior is spacious and the ceiling is high, allowing for room for a wheelchair to rest comfortably as well.
Cargo Vans
Cargo vans are generally designed to be sturdy and utilitarian. They are not generally made for their outward appearance or for any sort of other appeal at all. In order to find the best cargo van for you, you'll need to think of what you plan to transport. If you're thinking of occasionally transporting some goods, but will otherwise have passengers in your van, you may wish to purchase a regular size van or minivan. Then to remove the seats on the occasions in which you set up your van to carry cargo. Otherwise, look for a long, twelve-passenger van that can be cleared out and opened by permanently removing the seats. This will allow for the best storage capacity of all. Econoline vans are some of the best for this purpose.
Minivans are a great vehicle for those who plan to use their van for a variety of purposes. These smaller cars are more suitable for long driving periods and get better gas mileage, on the whole, than larger vans. They are also family friendly and have lots of room for passengers and cargo. Finally, they can be made into handicap access vehicles as well, and the seats can be lowered or removed to allow for extra storage room. Some of the best minivan models include the original minivan, the Dodge Caravan. This vehicle started the minivan trend and has continued to remain on top. There are a good number of different minivans though, so it's worth your effort to thoroughly research your options before purchasing anything.
Additional Tips on Buying a Van
In order to buy a van, the customer must consider a number of important factors before making the final purchase. A number of features serve different customers in different ways. From extended seating to larger trunk or storage space, the consumer will have to decide which features serve the best purpose, and which will get the most attention and use.
Purchase with a Purpose
When choosing a van, potential owners will have a greater sense of satisfaction if the vehicle serves the intended purpose successfully. For example, a carpenter or utility worker will most likely choose a van for storage space rather than room for extended seating. On the other hand, parents generally choose a van that comes with entertainment features, extended seating and generous storage space.
Research Fuel Efficiency
Several vans often get labeled as the ideal traveling vehicle, fit for families or small groups of people. Some larger vans come equipped with diesel engines, capable of storing large amounts of fuel that will burn slower than gasoline. This will let groups or families travel long distances with limited fuel ups. Most vans will come with a small sized V6 engine. Powerful enough to reach desired speeds quickly while keeping the gas tank full as well.
Stick with the Same Brand
Individuals with family members who work for automotive companies often see price reductions in vehicle purchases. This factor leads many customers to stick with a certain car brand for years at a time, purchasing all types of vehicles, including vans, under one brand name. This generally helps customers save large sums of money.
Wheelchair Access and Disability Driving Vehicles
Whether you are looking to buy vans for your personal or business use, you would like to get the best price you can find that will handle the needs for disabilities. You are going to find that these vehicles feature a wheelchair access so that you will be able to easily get the person in and out of the vehicle. Of course safety is also an issue that you want to take into consideration as well if you decide to buy a minivan.
You first need to decide if you want to have an existing vehicle modified for what you need or if you want to purchase your vehicle outright from a manufacturer. Either option can provide you with a reasonably priced vehicle.
Mini-Vans for Wheelchair Access
When looking for wheelchair access, one of the best vehicles you can look into is the mini-van. This vehicle is very inexpensive and offers excellent versatility. As well as conversion that is easy and convenient for the passengers and the driver. Wheelchair Lift If you are in need of a wheelchair lift, you are going to find there are many different sizes available to you. Depending upon the size of the chair and the vehicle you are driving, you will also need to look into the power of the chair you are considering. Space You will want to decide if you only need enough space for the wheelchair to fit inside the vehicle or if you are going to need room for other passengers as well. If the vehicle is for personal family use, the decision is going to be a lot easier. It is a great idea to look into both used and new vehicles. You may be able to find a vehicle that already has everything that you need and maybe even a little more for a great price. If you are not able to find one that has everything, take into consideration if you want to keep looking or spend the money to have it modified.
Related Questions and Answers
Which Wheelchair Lift Company Has the Best User Reviews?
What wheelchair lift company is the best? The best one will depend on your particular needs and the van you are converting. Conversion companies will often work with only a few different lift companies, so your choice can be limited. A couple of the better reviewed conversion and lift companies are Braunability and The Mobility Resource. These companies are well rated by both industry experts and customers. In addition to lifts, they can help with the entire conversions of vans or other vehicles. As always, it is a good idea to call around to a number of different companies when shopping for a lift or vehicle.
Do Insurance Plans for Mobility Vehicles Have a Higher Rate?
Insurance for mobility vehicles may be a bit more expensive, but not budget busting. Mobility vans tend to be expensive, so the premiums will be a bit higher than a normal van. It is important to make sure the insurance company knows that you are insuring a mobility vehicle and its replacement cost when you are calling around for quotes. All of the major insurance companies will offer insurance coverage for mobility vehicle owners. Calling around for as many quotes as possible will help you find the best possible price. Keeping your deductible high is a great way to keep your premiums low.
Which Van Has the Largest Wheelchair Access Door Width?
There is no real way to determine which van has the widest wheelchair access door width. Mobility vans are all customized to meet the requirements of the driver, so each one will be different. The wheelchair lift can be installed by the side doors of a van, or the rear lift hatch. Each van or SUV will have its doors widened to accommodate the needs of the owner. It is recommended that there are at least six inches of additional space on each side of the wheelchair's wheels. Just about any van can be converted, which allows you to choose the best one for your lifestyle. Chrysler Town and Country and Toyota Sienna are popular choices.
Can I Get Government Funding for Buying a Handicapped Van?
It is possible to get government funding for handicapped vans. If your are currently on Social Security, there is a program called PASS. This stands for Plan to Achieve Self Success. It rewards those who have created a plan to achieve a better standard of living for themselves. If a handicapped van is necessary to attend school or get a job, the government may help fund your van. If you qualify for the program the government will send you a check each month to help with your van payment. One qualification is that you must continue to go to school or the job, otherwise the government assistance will cease.
Are There Any Laws Regarding Auto Hand Controls on a Steering Wheel?
There are no federal laws in regards to auto hand controls. There are state regulations, so it is a good idea to check with the local law enforcement agency in your area to make sure hand controls are not restricted. When dealing with mobility vehicles, the restrictions will othen be waived. The main issue is steering wheel knobs and the lack of control when trying to turn quickly in an emergency situation. They often prevent the quick response that is required if an unexpected situation presents itself. It is best to have a driver rehabilitation specialist assess your situation and advise on what modifications would be best for your situation.

For politicians on any level truth becomes only a matter of convenience often measured on a scale of self-importance. As we head into another round of Municipal elections this fact needs to be broadcast loud and clear. In the real world of cities such as Toronto, Hamilton and others media exists to provide information on all the candidates. True, political bias and alliances are always evident in media yet somehow all the information finds its way to the people in the end. In St. Catharines, Ontario such a fantasy does not exist and the so called media is at the helm of pseudo Spielbergs creating illusion for sale to the local masses.
Politics itself has always had an air of smoke and mirrors about it, at least on a national level. After all a Prime Minister has to deal with such mundane issues as national security, possible wars, terrorism and more. Locally though it is hard to sell the need to have an ability or finesse at a good poker face. Who would you need to bluff? Homeowners who simply want decent roads so as not to lose their teeth on the way to work? Residents who want water rates at an affordable level and garbage collected?
Still politics is politics and its allure of power changes even the grassroots levels within its own sphere. Power in a big city is equally big power, power in a small town is still big power and its exhilarating effect impossible to ignore. Municipal politics remains the most closely associated level in the political landscape with the very people who elect their representatives. After all each resident has an opportunity to cast a vote for a neighbour as their representative on council.
As the neighbours hit the streets with signs big and small, with promises equally big and small, one most important point to remember in the final decision process is that once they're in, they're in. Lies, broken promises, even corruption doesn't matter, you can't pry them out. Toronto has proven that insanity is the norm in Canadian politics with the Ford farce.
St. Catharines faces decision day on October the 27th with five candidates for mayor elbowing and pushing for position. Debates in Canada are moderated to remove all openness of debating. Questions are sanitised and sterilised, and real truth non-existing. Media in St. Catharines with its entrenched censorship ensures that no facts are made public, no relevant or pertinent questions are asked, and only harps on the negativity raised by candidates. It seems in Canada candidates are only expected to say 'nice' things about each other.
Looking at the five mayoral candidates one soon realises that if this Canadian civility is lifted to face reality and media censorship smashed then the decision process is not an easy one. Borrowing horse racing jargon, candidates Jim Fannon and Mark Stevens are considered the less favourite with odds running against them for a serious vote.
Candidate Jim Fannon does not have a web page and no clear statement as to a platform or 'wish list' for St. Catharines. He appears to run his campaign through his Facebook and some of his statements make little sense, in particular the notion of term limits. Term limits can only be discussed at a provincial level and any decision making out of the hands of municipal politicians. Originally Fannon was part of the ra-ra team for the front runner candidate Jeff Burch and then decided to run against him. When something like this happens questions arise as to the real purpose of such a candidate.
Another candidate, Mark Stevens, also faces extreme odds to find serious voter numbers. Unlike Fannon, Mark Stevens has signs up all around the city trying to compete on the well travelled intersections littered with 'pick me' screams. Mark Stevens does have a web page, he tries to say that he is only an ordinary guy who has lived in St. Catharines for a long time and wants to make a difference. Listening to Mark Stevens comment on jobs and the future of St. Catharines proves that he is just a regular guy.
After leaving behind the two outsiders what's left are the three prima donnas elbowing for position and banging the drum of experience. Yet a resume claiming experience also demands questions of consequence. No such questions have been raised till now. If they are then the spectre of negative campaigning is immediately pronounced. We in Canada have to play nice and ignore the truth as it may be uncomfortable.
Jeff Burch, Peter Secord and Walter Sendzik each claim they have the answers to the issues St. Catharines faces. Burch and Secord both have sat on city council taking part in the decisions and responsible for inaction that has provided for a very uncomfortable future for this city and its people. Walter Sendzik has led the Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce and watched the decimation of the city core with no real answers as to any potential solutions. Now these three have found the light and are willing to sell their sideshow.
Walter Sendzik claims to want "transparency and accountability at city hall." Each time there is an election, wannabe politicians pick up the same tired and useless words. Somehow desire for transparency and accountability only surfaces before they get elected; once in office the doors are shut. Being the leader of a Chamber of Commerce, it is no surprise that Sendzik also employs another tired and common slogan in his desire to "identify and remove barriers to business." Yet he stayed silent when business owner Sam Demita, owner and operator of Sun Collision not only removed so called barriers but simply broke all the by-laws without consequence.
Once again each of the candidates is on the GO Train election ride and promises to rebuild Port Dalhousie. Reality rarely joins in the lists of promises and empty words. In his "vision for St. Catharines," Walter wishes to "focus on returning St. Catharines as a leader in Ontario." To "focus on returning" would insinuate that St. Catharines once lead the province in some area, he does not make that clear though.
St. Catharines downtown core is barely limping. All the promises of good times to come with the massive building of two facilities are yet to eventuate. Bringing in residential space opens the doors to questions of services for the basic needs such as some sort of supermarket. The core has plenty of bars, a fancy, new and elaborate tattoo parlour and a hamburger joint that sends the Big Mac packing. But no one can lay claim to the illusion that 'the core' is residence friendly. Oh and that has not been a secret over the last four years.
Poverty and struggle for survival in St. Catharines is a daily routine. Our job market is non-existent. Those who are fortunate to have jobs find themselves in the minimum wage or barely above bracket, unable to provide the bare basics for their families. Young people who were born here have no reason to stay and if it continues, that in itself will forecast a loss of identity and credibility.
Walter makes empty promises and then when pressured on issues as head of the chamber he blames the board for its decisions. One could take Sendzik's "vision" and pull it to pieces for saying nothing built in reality but that would be considered as pessimistic by Canadian standards. Yet Sendzik himself admits to horrific figures for unemployment, for youth unemployment and how low St. Catharines was rated by the Conference Board of Canada Report of 2014. The report titled City Magnets III: Benchmarking the Attractiveness of 50 Canadian Cities, analyses and benchmarks the features that make Canadian cities attractive to newcomer populations. Cities are compared on indicators grouped into seven categories: Society, Health, Economy, Environment, Education, Innovation, and Housing. Data for this analysis is based on the 2011 Census and National Household Survey. No one can ignore these realities.
In an interview with The Standard (Walter Sendzik says city's future is in jobs. Karena Walter, October 9, 2014) Sendzik said; "the next 10 years has to be about attracting private sector investments in the community. That's where my background provides a lot of expertise in getting the private sector spending in the community, investing in the community." So the man who led the Chamber of Commerce, a man who now lays claim to a background and expertise in getting things done within the private sector saw no reason to do any of this until he declared his political intentions. Where did Walter Sendzik hide his expertise whilst head of the Chamber of Commerce? Why is it only now in an election campaign that Sendzik brags about his expertise, maybe his salary as the head of the chamber wasn't enough motivation to attract private sector spending.
Sprinting from the Sendzik vision one crashes into Peter Secord and his ideal of 'Back to Basics'. Peter Secord claims that he is ready to be mayor after years of serving on city council. As a councillor Secord has been present for all that has happened in St. Catharines. He claims, "After significant citizen-led investment in our community, St. Catharines must ensure its finances are in order and in line with our community's new priorities." Our community's new priorities? Unemployment, poverty, our young leaving, taxes, lubricious spending by Church Street, simple honesty and integrity in office, are these to be considered "new priorities"?
According to Peter Secord's great stride into the future he wants to "get back to the basics of representing the taxpayer. Our community needs someone who not only understands the issues but has lived through them as well." What is Secord's version of back to basics? Peter Secord sat on city council as fellow councillor Jeff Burch lied to council. Secord knew that Councillor Jeff Burch lied, he also was provided with the Integrity Commissioner's report where Suzanne Craig clearly stated that she had not cleared Burch of the very serious allegations. Maybe honesty, integrity or accountability do not rate high in Peter Secord's back to basics.
What does rate as back to basics to Peter Secord? As he was aware of Councillor Jeff Burch's lies, as a fellow member of council he was also aware of a small business owner Sam Demita, owner and operator of Sun Collision, who had broken local laws for some 5 years. Secord is also aware that after the city 'fixed' the law for Sam Demita, and after an OMB hearing cleared the path, the same Sam Demita has broken the new laws that the city had fixed for him.
Peter Secord has a 1, 2, 3 step plan for his back to basics: First is, "A plan for financial accountability," then the Second is, "Local solutions for local jobs," and finally the Third, "Commitment to the taxpayer." Reading these steps or points little is found that is constructive or realistic. In his first installment Secord speaks of a tax freeze, he actually promises one. If he was to win the job as mayor, Peter Secord will be only one vote and he has heard loudly from council that the majority are against such folly.
In his second installment Secord is surprised that "the same team who is responsible for business support also oversee the Santa Claus Parade and Canada Day events." Where has Secord been for his years of service on council? This is news to him? Maybe it was Santa Claus who 'fixed' things for Demita?
In the 2010 election Brian McMullan said no tax dollars should be spent on the hockey palace. Peter Secord sat on council and approved the exact opposite. Now it is the same Secord who promises a tax freeze. A little too little and a little too late. Yet at a council meeting when his plans for a tax freeze were openly objected, Peter Secord said that nothing was set in stone. Secord finished off with this in relation to his motion on freezing taxes, "The motion is just that staff works in that direction, towards zero, it's setting the bar, so that they go in that direction." (Doug Herod, www.stcatharines.ca, October 1 2014, 'HEROD: Hamming it up on council stage').
Has the proverbial bar been set or will the final candidate in the 2014 Municipal elections find a new level for himself? Jeff Burch, like Peter Secord, has sat on city council for years, and like Peter Secord has only now found the answers. Unlike Secord, Jeff Burch points to 5 Priorities for Prosperity and welcomes people to the "new St. Catharines" on his billboards whilst the old St. Catharines has not been buried in the aftermath of the election stampede.
Burch's five priorities for prosperity in fact do not really sound any different from Secord or Sendzik. Jobs, or the frightening lack of, are on the minds of all residents in St. Catharines. Tax dollars have never left the minds of St. Catharines residents as each year it is becoming harder and harder to budget for the inevitable increases. Whether it is Burch and his five or Secord with desires of going back to basics, or Sendzik's vision, Port Dalhousie is a hot topic. The Go Train is on everyone's wish list even if there are no real riders for it and our downtown still waiting for solutions.
Reading Jeff Burch's press releases or his website, nothing new is found. On October 1st a press release on Port Dalhousie finds Jeff Burch quoted as saying "I have the experience to lead revitalization efforts that respect and include residents." From here the bar is lowered dramatically and the similarities between Burch and the other two main candidates cease.
Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig came to investigate Councillor Jeff Burch and his lies to City Council and the people of St. Catharines. Integrity Commissioner Craig was shocked that no one from The Standard or the free Niagara this Week made any reference to the investigation. Councillor Jeff Burch lied to protect Sam Demita, owner and operator of Sun Collision. In the end Integrity Commissioner Craig submitted her report and stated that she had not cleared Councillor Jeff Burch of the very serious allegations. All of this was censored.
This was not all that Councillor Burch has never answered for. As residents in Merritton found flooding damage in their homes, Councillor Burch issued a warning to one of the residents that was chilling. To keep things quiet Councillor Burch in the 2010 election campaign used Niagara Regional Police to harass and intimidate me so as to stop any questions being raised. Everything here has been documented and it's only the censorship by The Standard in particular that has kept this from the people of St. Catharines. Now ex-reporter from The Standard Marlene Bergsma has publicly endorsed Burch.
Residents all over will struggle to make a decision as to who they should vote for. In St. Catharines there are extremely serious issues and the political game surrounding all the candidates continues. The Conference Board of Canada released its report in Ottawa September 18th 2014, and rated St. Catharines in the 'D' Cities – Struggling to Attract. One of the main criteria for consideration according to Alan Arcand of the Centre for Municipal Studies is, "cities that fail to attract new people will struggle to stay prosperous and vibrant." St. Catharines found itself in the "D" class where 9 of the 13 cities had showed little population growth between 2006 and 2011, and two cities saw their population decline. (News Release 15-27 Six Canadians Cities out of 50 Receive Top Marks for Attracting Newcomers).
According to Statistics Canada, St. Catharines' population in 2006 was 131,989 and in 2011 it dropped to 131,400. Both Jeff Burch and Peter Secord have sat on city council since 2006. "Now is not the time for campaign stunts", these are Jeff Burch's own words. Now is the time to make a very hard decision and live with it for the next four years.

The aim of the current study is to provide a 'qualitative assessment' of the direct and indirect effects of adaptation options and to provide an assessment of some of the costs and benefits of adaptation options.
Library Search
To shed light on adaptation costs—and with the global climate change negotiations resuming in December 2009 in Copenhagen—the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change (EACC) study was initiated by the World Bank in early 2008, funded by the governments of the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Entwurf eines regionalen Handlungs- und Aktionsrahmens Klimaanpassung ("Blaupause") (Draft for a regional Action Framework for Climate Adaptation "Blueprint")
Objective of the publication is to formulate key aspects of a regional action plan for climate adaptation. The format is an idealistic presentation - a blueprint. It contains of a first part for policy makers and a second part with further background information.
Klimawandelgerechte Stadtentwicklung "Climate-Proof Planning" (Climate change adapted urban development)
The publication focuses on starting points and procedures to increase the climate resilience of cities and urban regions. It contains parts on "Climate Proofing", Necessity on Governance-methods and on "Environmental Justice".
Increasing urban albedo can reduce summertime temperatures, resulting in better air quality and savings from reduced air-conditioning costs. In addition, increasing urban albedo can result in less absorption of incoming solar radiation by the surface-troposphere system, countering to some extent the global scale effects of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
Ein 10-Punkte Plan Klimaanpassung – Raumentwicklungsstrategien zum Klimawandel im Überblick (A 10-Point Plan Climate Adaptation - Regional development strategies for Climate Change in Overview).
The paper is focusing on climate change and consequences for regional planning.The paper has a strategic, conceptual perspective. It shows mainly the further research needs.

Report explores the potential for retrofitting to introduce adaptation measures to improve the performance of existing homes against three impacts of climate change: flooding, water stress and overheating.
Estimates: (a) the economic losses to households of climate-induced water deficits (restricted supplies); (b) the resource costs of removing those deficits, and (c) the associated net benefits – i.e. the difference between (a) and (b).

Paper calls for the development of innovative adaptation strategies able to cope with the uncertainty on future climates, and for more involvement of climate information end-users.
Paper focuses on the likely effects of a range of climate warming estimates on the long-term performance and management of California's water system.
Appendix to the TE2100 Plan Technical Report sets out the approach taken to the appraisal of Policies (generic flood risk management levels in Policy Management Units) and Options (packages of measures to meet Policies).
The paper examines the economical mix of adaptation, technologies, policies, and operational changes available to keep water supply impacts to such modest levels
DFID and DANIDA initiated a project entitled "Economic Impacts of Climate Change in Burundi, Kenya and Rwanda" which is executed by an international consortium. Focus of the project will be on the economics of adaptation strategies.
The terms of reference for this paper requested a consideration of adaptation options for infrastructure in developing countries
Growing cities, ever more mobile people, and increasingly specialized products are integral to development. These changes have been most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Northeast Asia. But countries in East and South Asia and Eastern Europe are now experiencing changes that are similar in their scope and speed.

Summer Fayre 2015
Well the rain held off to the very end of our annual Summer Fayre. We were so fortunate to be able to hold all of our fayre outside. There were lots of stalls, games and activties to particpate in including human fruit machine, wellie wanging, maggott racing, pony rides (thanks to Sammy Snow for bringing her ponies once again) and the bouncy castle. It was also good to have the fire brigasde visit us with their engine, which the children enjoyed sitting inside.
It was also great to have live music in the shape of the Almondsbury Singers and Little Voices, who sang some classic summer songs for us. They entertained the crowds very well. Thank you to the singers for their time. Thank you to all of these people for came along to listen to them and support the fayre. The fayre was another successful event for the PA who have worked tirelessly on fund raising this year. The event raised a total of just over £3,400, which is a fantastic amount.
Thank you for all parents for their donations on Friday for our non uniform day as well as those who came and helped out setting up, on stalls and clearing up at the end of the day. Most of all thank you to the PA for organising the day. There are many more photos on the website. We look forward to our next event.

For Sale – Aston Martin DB7 Volante i6 Auto
First registered January 1997 this Aston Martin came from a famous private collection in the USA. It was a special order with the colour being Grampian Green with cream leather interior with matching piping.
The i6 is a straight six cylinder engine with an Eaton M90 supercharger which boosts the output to 350 bhp. The condition of the car, as you would expect, having only travelled 8700 miles is literally, "as new & unmarked". A comment from the Aston Martin dealership in the UK, stated that the car underneath was better than some of the new cars that come from the production line.
The car has full Aston Martin service history, and being from a private collection was fastidiously cared for. As you will see this car was in fact No1 in the series 2 production, commonly known as the "air-bagged" series!
There were only 879 DB7 Volante's produced of which, less than 200 were left-hand drive.
I have many photos on file.

Basel, Switzerland
Pharmazie-Historisches Museum der Universität Basel
One of the world's largest collections of pharmaceutical artifacts.
This "Pharmacy Museum" contains collections of old pharmaceuticals, pharmacy furniture, an alchemistic lab, laboratory utensils, and ceramic mortars.
In 1925, pharmacist Josef Anton Häfliger donated his collection of pharmaceutical items to the University of Basel, founding the museum which is now located in the historical house "Zum Vorderen Sessel."
The house acquired a printing press, which compelled Erasmus, the humanist, and Paracelsus, the alchemist, to take residence there in the 16th Century. The museum has accumulated a comprehensive collection of obsolete remedies used before the 19th century, outdated pharmaceutical books, and art related to alchemy and pharmaceutical science.

Transportation represents roughly 50% of total logistics costs. Motorway congestion, increasing regulations for CO2 emissions, congestion, labour shortages are already contributing to higher costs and inefficiencies.
Technology and multi-modal solutions are ready for implementation and offer solutions to the logistics industry. However, for many innovations, evidence of improved productivity is not abundant enough to justify their high cost. For others, legal liability is still unresolved.
So how will Europe's distribution evolve over the next decade?
We take the view that while current innovations and multi-modal transport still have room for improvement, they will be implemented over the short- and long-term. Current distribution corridors – or "bananas" – will shift in response to Brexit, the Silk Road initiatives, TEN-T multi-modal networks and infrastructure improvements, automation, and autonomous vehicles.
Our new report highlights changes and additions to Europe's distribution "bananas" and markets that are positioned to take advantage of future distribution patterns. Several case studies are presented to demonstrate either successful technological adoption with improved productivity or the impact of multi-modal connectivity on demand for distribution warehouse space. In all cases, public and private sectors formed a cooperative partnership to ensure financially beneficial and seamless outcomes.

How to Prepare for an Internship Phone Interview

wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has also been viewed 12,040 times. Learn more...
Internship interviews are tricky enough, but a phone interview requires some extra preparation tactics for an A-plus performance. On the positive side, you can keep notes with you like an open-book test, but on the negative, you don't get that same interpersonal interaction. Learn how to make the best of both worlds for your next phone interview.
1Confirm who is calling. Most likely it is the company, so make sure that the number and time is confirmed.
2Understand the subject/company that you are interviewing for before you start the interview. Go over as much related information to the topic as you can to boost your confidence and be prepared for questions pertaining to the company or industry. Pauses will not end the interview, but they will negatively effect the overall impression of your candidacy.
3Make a list of questions prior to the actual call, make sure you have these questions memorized. Try to have follow-up questions in the case of yes or no answers so that you will gain more specific results from the person in question. Make sure to specify the parts you are interested in so that the caller will understand that your interest in the position is genuine.
4Try to get the employer to do the majority of the talking by asking questions to create a more two-sided dialogue. It helps you gain a better understanding of what will be expected of you, and it will show your interviewer that you are interested in the company, and not just showing off.
5Activate a calm and collected state of mind for the interview. No matter what time the interview is make sure you have gotten a good amount of rest and have had some nourishment before the interview. People can't see you over the phone, but yawning and heavy breathing are easy to identify. You have to sound your best because people can't see you.
6Follow up with a thank you e-mail within 24 hours.

- Smiling before you get on the phone will actually improve your mood.
- Keep a printed copy of your resume/CV and any key points in front of you, for quick reference. Highlight anything that you want to find quickly.
- Keep a glass of water nearby, in case you suddenly feel hoarse or croaky.

Police say a Southern California man shot his mother to death before fleeing in a tractor into a trail, where he was shot dead by officers.
The Ventura County Star reports Saturday's chaotic scene unfolded in a usually quiet Simi Valley neighborhood.
Sgt. Craig Dungan said the suspect's brother told police around 4:45 p.m. that his brother shot their mother in their home.
Police believe the man set the house on fire and fired several shots into the street before taking off on the tractor.
A bicyclist said the gunman fired at her, but she managed to escape injury.
The suspect's name and details of his encounter with police were not immediately released. The shootings triggered a large police response with officers armed with automatic rifle.

Fascinating Facts About Mothers
Can't wait to see what you find for Father's Day. 🙂

I hope that you find the following stories and records as much fun as I did!
World Records Regarding Mothers
Youngest Mother
The youngest mother whose history is authenticated is Lina Medina, who delivered a 6½-pound boy by cesarean section in Lima, Peru in 1939, at an age of 5 years and 7 months. The child was raised as her brother and only discovered that Lina was his mother when he was 10.

Rock-bottom interest rate levels for the last five years took rate sensitive sectors to new highs. While some concerns over rising rates cast a cloud over these sectors last year, 2014 has been quite rewarding thanks to elevated risk-off trade sentiments in the market.
Now, with the Fed appearing likely to keep rates at a rock-bottom level for longer, investors have once again started to look for high yielding products. Master limited partnerships (MLPs) were no exception to this trend.
This hybrid asset class represents a compelling investment proposition for income-focused investors as they are known for stable cash flows and strong growth potential.
As a result, fund issuers have flocked to this space in recent times. Within the group, UBS ETRACS has been quite a popular player with its recent issuance being in the form of leveraged MLP. The newly launched fund – ETRACS Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged Wells Fargo MLP Ex-Energy ETN (LMLP) – hit the market on June 25, 2014 and could be a new way to play the space (read: Leveraged ETF Round Up: Gold Miners & Energy Advance).
The launch actually follows up an unleveraged version of the same product, which just hit the market. This ETN, the Ex-Energy MLP ETN (FMLP) has amassed about $25 million in the short time since its launch.
LMLP in Focus
The newly launched fund – LMLP – looks to track the Wells Fargo MLP Ex-Energy Index, same as FMLP (read: First Ex-Energy MLP Hits the Market: FMLP). The new entrant seeks to provide investors twice the monthly return of the said index.
Investors should note that unlike most other leveraged ETFs which are reset daily, this new fund will be reset on a monthly basis. Also, unlike many MLPs which mainly target the energy space, LMLP will target the non-energy field of the MLP world.
The non-energy oriented companies enjoying partnership taxation treatment get an entry pass to the index. KKR & Co LP, Blackstone Group LP and Lazard Ltd are the top three holdings of the index, with each accounting for about 10%.
The fund charges about 85 bps a year which is reasonable either from an MLP ETFs point of view or from the leveraged ETFs' standpoint. Notably, the average expense ratio in the MLP ETF space is 80 bps while the same for leveraged space stands at 92 bps, as per ETFdb.
Since the fund is a leveraged one, it looks to give investors astounding yields. As of June 25, 2014, twice the index yield stands at 15.24%. Needless to say, this is among the highest in the MLP exchange-traded product world.
How Does it Fit in a Portfolio?
This ETF could be an interesting choice for investors seeking broad exposure to the MLP space with a specific focus on income. Additionally, the monthly resetting technique will safeguard investors from heightened volatility of the leveraged ETF space.
Investors should note that most of MLP ETFs put up impressive returns in the past one-year, three-year and five-year periods. So, from a price appreciation point of view also, this product should rival others in the space (read: Boost Income and Growth with MLP ETFs).
Investors should also note that this product is structured as an ETN, so there is some credit risk involved. However, this also rules out tracking error and tax issues, so there is a trade-off.
Can it Succeed?
Though the MLP space is rife with competition, we expect this newly launched product to hold its head high in the coming days. ETRACS already has a billion-dollar product in the MLP space and should face no problems in replicating prior success.
Notably, ETRACS is presently playing the field with the ultra popular E-TRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (MLPI), ETRACS Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMU), E-TRACS Alerian Natural Gas MLP Index (MLPG), ETRACS Wells Fargo MLP Ex-Energy ETN (FMLP) and E-TRACS Wells Fargo MLP Index (MLPW). And the space is headed by Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) which has amassed about $9 billion in assets.
Further, the new product is a leveraged MLP ETN and the space is crowded by mainly regular or unleveraged products. However, ETRACS has another leveraged product namely E-TRACS 2x Leveraged Long Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (MLPL). But we believe that there will be no occasion of cannibalization as MLPL operates in the energy space.
In a nutshell, an outsized yield, a moderate expense ratio and high price appreciation due to the leveraged approach need to be promoted to develop a big following for LMLP in what is a somewhat crowded space already (read: 3 MLP ETFs Riding Out Market Volatility).

NBW against Jayalalithaa stayed
Principal Sessions Judge K Uthirapathy stayed the June 2011 order issued by the Parangipettai Judicial magistrate till January 19, 2012 even as Supreme Court had ordered status quo in the case in 2007.
The matter relates to a case filed by the Returning Officer of the Bhuvanagiri Assembly constituency for alleged violation by Jayalalitha in filing nominations from Andipatti, Krishnagiri, Bhuvanagiri and Pudukottai constituencies ahead of the 2001 elections.
Former DMK MP C Kuppuswamy had moved the Madras High Court seeking action against her holding that she had filed nominations from more than two constituencies.
The HC had in 2007 directed the Election Commission to file cases in relevant courts.
Jayalalithaa moved the Supreme Court which stayed proceedings. However, Judicial magistrate R Komathy had ordered issue of NBW against her for non-appearance in court in June 2011. She had stayed the NBW, but did not exempt Jayalalithaa from peronal appearance.
When the matter came up before the magistrate early this week, the magistrate insisted on Jayalalithaa`s appearance. The AIADMK supremo subsequently moved the Principal Sessions Judge in Cuddalore on Thursday, seeking a stay on the lower court order and praying for the withdrawal of the NBW.
Government pleader Charlesraj filed a petition before the Principal Sessions Judge stating since the the apex court had stayed criminal proceedings against the Chief Minister, and prayed for stay of the lower court order, seeking that the NBW be withdrawn.

A couple of years ago, my family adopted a little white dog from the Orange County Animal Shelter. We brought him home and he quickly got comfortable. Our house now caters to the dog. He has a bed for lounging in almost every room and his toys litter the entryway so that he's always prepared to greet whoever comes through the door. He's a terrier-poodle mix, but he still sheds a lot. Little white fur balls get into the weirdest places and we have to vacuum a lot to keep it under control. We love him to death, but the house needs a complete scrub down every time anyone with allergies comes over. Even though our family seems immune to his shedding, he is definitely an allergy nightmare.
According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 10% of Americans suffer from dog allergies. The truth is: No dog is truly hypoallergenic. Many breeds today are advertised as "hypoallergenic," but even these dogs can trigger allergic reactions in some people.
What Causes the Allergy Response?
People with dog allergies have "allergic rhinitis," which means that exposure to dog dander can cause symptoms such as burning eyes, running nose, and itchy skin. A common misconception is that the allergic response is caused by the dog's fur. However, even dogs with little or no hair can cause symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Allergic reactions are triggered by two sources—pet dander or a protein. The pet dander comes from the dead skin cells shed from the animal when they shed their fur. Dogs with more fur will shed more dander with it, which could result in worse allergic reactions. Some people are allergic to a protein found in dog's saliva and urine. This is spread to their fur when they lick themselves. Undercoat shedding can spread both pet dander and this allergy-inducing protein, so dogs with a single coat may produce less allergy responses.
What does Hypoallergenic mean?
We hear the term thrown around, but hypoallergenic is not a medical term, so there are no standards or certifications to govern use of the term. Any breeder can call their dogs hypoallergenic.
The only truly hypoallergenic pet is a fish.
However, what they are referring to is any item that produces below normal allergic reactions. This means that the person shouldn't have the hypersensitive reaction to it. However, allergic responses are different in everybody, so it is difficult to determine what an acceptable level of the allergen is so as not to elicit an allergic response.
"I don't believe there is truly a hypoallergenic dog," says Dr. Laurel Fritzen, a veterinarian at Deerfield Animal Hospital, "There are breeds that shed less hair but a lot of times people are allergic to the dander, which is the skin and all animals shed skin cells." For those with extreme sensitivities, pets without fur or feathers, such as reptiles or fish, could prove to be a better option for them.
When referring to a dog as "hypoallergenic," the breeder is usually referring to the dog's fur. A typical dog has two coats. Their undercoat is what sheds and spreads pet dander throughout the house. Dogs termed "hypoallergenic" will have more human-like hair, meaning no second undercoat and less shedding. Some of these dogs also produce less saliva, so the saliva won't spread as much of the protein that causes the allergic reaction.
However, a 2011 study published in The American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy found that hypoallergenic dogs produced the same levels of dog allergens in the home as other breeds. Despite evidence that suggests that hypoallergenic dogs produce less allergic reactions, it is still important to take preventative measures against pet dander.
Which Dog is Best for Allergies?
Although the American Kennel Club won't deem any breed to be "hypoallergenic," they recommend the following dogs for allergy-sufferers because they produce less dander:
- Bedlington Terrier
- Bichon Frise
- Chinese Crested
- Irish Water Spaniel
- Kerry Blue Terrier
- Maltese
- Poodle
- Portuguese Water Dog
- Schnauzer
- Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
- Xoloitzcuintli
The AKC also recommends that allergies only be one of the factors considered when selecting a dog. Prospective pet owners should also consider the breed's temperament, energy level, and size. Imagine trying to live with a Portuguese water dog (50-60 lbs.) in a one bedroom apartment just because you thought it would help your allergies!
Choosing a smaller dog will mean less surface area for fur and shedding, which means less dander. Mixed breeds are also a good alternative to purebred dogs. Any breed mixed with a poodle will shed less because of the type of hair that poodles have.
If You Have Allergies…
Before bringing a dog home to be part of the family, you should consult a doctor to see if you allergy responses can be controlled. A doctor may recommend allergy shots, antihistamines, or intranasal steroids. If you're worried that someone in your family might have a sensitivity to dogs, an allergist can confirm animal sensitivities through prick testing.
If you already have a dog and you want to reduce your allergen exposure, consider the following tips:Consider fostering a dog before you adopt. An allergic response can sometimes take two to three weeks to become fully known. When adopting a dog, it's important to understand that you are committed to caring for that dog for its entire life. Both you and your dog deserve the best home possible, so take your time in determining if a dog is a good fit for you and your family.
• Get your dog regularly groomed, or have a non-allergic family member give regular baths (about once every week). Brushing a dog's fur can prevent some dander from entering the air.
• Have your dog's skin checked by a veterinarian for dryness. Dry skin means more shedding and dander, so keeping him/her skin moisturized could reduce allergens.
• Keep your dog off bedding or pillows that you use to reduce your exposure to allergens.
• Replace pet beds annually and give them a thorough cleaning on a regular basis.
• Carpet-free flooring can be easier to clean and don't trap allergens in fibers like carpet. Vacuum and wash floors to get rid of pet dander.
• Use washable covers when your pet sits on the couch or in the car. Even throwing down a blanket before they sit on the couch can reduce the amount of dander that settles on the couch.
• If you have the option, keep your dog outside.
• Wash your hands after petting your dog.
The Mayo Clinic recommends using a HEPA air purifier to reduce the airborne pet allergens if you suffer from pet allergies. The Luma Comfort AP400W air purifier is equipped with a carbon pre-filter, HEPA filter, VOC filter, TiO2 filter, and UV light to ensure that your family is always breathing the cleanest air possible. It eliminates over 99% of particles from the air, so your furry friend can still be man's best friend, instead of man's biggest cause of allergies.

I received this book for free from the author or publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Kill or Die
Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as she feels like she's climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.
In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says he doesn't even remember her. Or does he?
Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demons…and even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will her heart?
"You can't just stand there and do nothing. They'll kill you, Nina. It's you or them. Kill or die, Nina Davis." His jaw rippled before he repeated each word with force.
"Kill or die."
What an incredible book! I have read several of Jade's books, I liked them all, but I think this is by far my favorite. All of her stories are well written but this was more. A little deeper, a little more feeling, a little more anxiety inducing.
Nina is a great character. Life has beaten her down. So much so that she feels dead inside. She is simply going through the motions. It takes the end of the world to give Nina a kick in the ass to start living again. Fate reunites with her high school crush, Kevin. He is her biggest regret. She does not regret what she did with him, but rather what she did not do with him. She has been playing the what-if game for the past twenty years. Now she is forced to confront him and all of her fears in order to survive. Kevin is just awesome. He is a man's man. He is a take charge, kick ass kind of guy. He is also incredibly sexy and has been thinking about Nina just as much as she has been thinking about him for the past twenty years.
This is not a typical zombie book, nor is it a typical romance. It's a little of both, and is also a book about rediscovering yourself. It's about realizing that it's not too late. That just because one thing has ended, something great could be about to begin. While there is not a ton of zombie action, there are plenty of anxiety inducing moments. The heart of the story lies in the people, as is the case with most post apocalypse stories. People tend to find incredible strength in the face of death. Even if they have lost the will to live, something about the world actually ending can give you a new fight for life. This is definitely the case for Nina. She finds herself doing things she never would have had the courage for previously.
One of my favorite parts of this book had to be the amazing soundtrack that Jade provides at the beginning of each chapter. Tons of great songs that bounce between current and 80's hard rock. I happened to know most of the songs so it really helped to set the mood for the entire book. There is a perfect mix of heartache and survival action in this story.
Grab your headphones and a cold six pack for this one! 5 stars! Enjoy!

Republican Joe Walsh had some harsh words for late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel and Americans took to social media to express their disgust and outrage at the politician's commentary.
Sorry Jimmy Kimmel: your sad story doesn't obligate me or anybody else to pay for somebody else's health care.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) May 2, 2017
Walsh was apparently triggered after Jimmy Kimmel returned to ABC and in great humility, shared his family's ordeal and said the following:
We were brought up to believe that we live in the greatest country in the world, but until a few years ago, millions and millions of us had no access to health insurance at all. Before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease like my son was, there was a good chance you'd never be able to get health insurance because you had a pre-existing condition. You were born with a pre-existing condition. And if your parents didn't have medical insurance, you might not live long enough to even get denied because of a pre-existing condition.
If your baby is going to die, and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make. I think that's something that, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or something else, we all agree on that, right?
Walsh, who purportedly supported that all women should be required to risk death than be allowed to end a pregnancy that a doctor rules is high-risk to the point that it will likely kill themselves and child, is taking issue with an American man saying that a newborn baby should be allowed to die if they don't have good enough health insurance. It is not his problem.
If there is a Heaven and God is the ruler of all, it would seem that faith would dictate an unfavorable judgment upon a nation that would allow a newborn to die because they could not afford to the medical services to live.
