I grew up on the Friday the 13th franchise. I still remember the first time I (an innocent kid at the time) first stumbled upon the movies. It was late at night, and I was watching cable tv… and came across "MonsterVision" with Joe Bob Briggs (a series that aired late at night and would play classic horror and slasher movies). I was hooked from that moment. Does this game deliver the same kind of addiction and enjoyment that this enduring franchise has?
First, let me just say that when this game was released it was overcome by glitches and bugs. I must say that while I played this game (which has been non-stop for a couple weeks now), I never ran into any problems while playing on my Xbox One. I would assume that it's safe to say that those glitches are a thing of the past, and you shouldn't base your judgment on whether or not you should buy this game based on those early reports.
This is a very straight forward game with little to no options of gameplay. Ordinarily I would say that's a bad thing, but in this case it's not. There's no filler, they're not giving you a cheap game that shines in one field and fails in the other. What you see is very much what you get. And what you get is a death-match game like no other.
The object of the game is simple… kill or be killed. You either play as a camp counselor in the universe of Friday the 13th or play as Jason Voorhees himself.
While playing as a counselor, you must survive by any means necessary. You can either wait out the twenty minutes (the length of each match) without dying, or you can complete some of the objectives in order to escape. Objectives include: Calling the local police (after searching for the necessary part to fix the phone, you must then use the phone without being detected or killed. If done properly, you then must stay alive until the police come… oh, and you must also meet the police at the end of the street… which can often be a problem since Jason knows exactly where that spot is and can spawn there almost instantly), you can also fix the cars or boat on each map to ride off into the sunset with (this is not an easy route, especially since each part (keys, fuel, battery) is scattered randomly throughout the map. And installing those parts is a whole other ball game, it takes time and patience… and Jason often reaches you before finishing your task), or… you can kill Jason… which is nearly impossible to do (I have never done it, nor have I ever seen it done).
Playing as Jason is a completely different game, and nearly just as fun. Killing the counselors is your only objective. You are given special abilities that help you obtain this goal. Now, I need to stress that when I first heard about this game over a year ago, I was very excited… then when I saw the first game-play that was released I was very disappointed to see that they gave Jason abilities such as fast-travel and warping across the map. At that time, I thought it would be more fun if he was only able to walk (or walk fast) around the map without the ability to warp… but I was wrong. After playing as Jason, I couldn't see it any other way. Using those abilities is limited by a time limit (meaning, if you use it once… you must wait until it powers up before using it again). Jason's powers include: Morph (Jason fast travels on the map), Rage (Allows him to burst through walls and closed doors with ease), Sense (Jason can visually detect his victim's whereabouts within his proximity), Shift (Jason will move quickly in short distances), and Stalk (Jason mutes the danger theme the camp counselors hear when he's nearby). At first sight, such abilities might seem unfair… but they work. Jason does have the upper hand in this game, and that's just as it should be.
The counselors are also given some abilities. Nothing supernatural of course, but basic perks that can help against Jason's reign of terror. In order to access those counselor perks, you must spend points in order to randomly buy them. The perks include: Medic (better healing), My Dad's a Cop (reduces the time it takes for law enforcement to come), Lone Wolf (More resistant to fear while alone), and many others. Personally, I prefer to play as a counselor over Jason. There's just something about the feeling you get when you are submersed into this franchise, you truly feel like a character in one of the movies. Running around while terrified and wearing skimpy clothing is exactly what I wanted out of this game.
This game has surpassed my expectations in almost every way, and has rejuvenated my love for this genre and for modern gaming. How could I not rate it a 5-out-of-5? Well, they're already trying to improve gameplay as I'm trying this review. Simply adding single-player would have been enough for me to score this game a perfect score. That is honestly the main gripe I have about this game, that there's no bot (AI) option. It's not a big problem now, but imagine in a year or so when this game isn't as popular. If it can sometimes take 5 minutes to find a match NOW, imagine how hard it's going to be in a year. Adding bots to the game will give it longevity, and it'll guarantee that I'll be playing for years to come. Plus, it's a nice way to get to know the game and gameplay before going face to face with some of the online gaming community.
The bottom line, it's an easy 4.5 out of 5. A nearly perfect game that is as addictive as the franchise itself.
*on a side note, this game can open so many doors. I can already imagine other horror franchises following this path. Leatherface: Taking place in the hot south, you play as Leatherface trying to chainsaw your opponents before they escape. Scream: As Ghostface, you can switch back and forth between the two killers in order to properly sneak up on your opponent. Maybe they can include some Clue elements into the game where you must figure out who your killer is before the time runs out? Freddy: This is an obvious one, wait for the teenagers to fall asleep and then attack in creative ways. Chucky: Try to enter the body of one of your opponents. Michael Myers: Very much like Friday the 13th The Game, but just with the iconic musical score that John Carpenter gave us. The Thing: Survive the unknown all while surviving the harsh arctic weather. The possibilities are endless.

Are you active in gastroscopy? Then support the WEO in checking the accuracy and completeness of the Minimal Standard Terminology (MST) in this area.START EVALUATION
The Evaluation Process
In a one-year-long process, and with your help, we are determining whether the existing terminology in the Minimal Standard Terminology and in digital endoscopic documentation systems are correct or can be made more specific. Defining and developing further terminology is particularly important in being able to use accurate terminology in representing and documenting endoscopic examination procedures. Therefore, the Minimal Standard Terminology will be supplemented and completed by your ideas and suggestions from the practice of colonoscopy and gastroscopy. After the completion of the evaluation process, the complete and improved Minimal Standard Terminology 4.0 will be available free of charge on the WEO website.
this Project
Due to continuous advances in endoscopy and its technical implementation, the WEO regularly publishes the Minimal Standard Terminology. This medical terminology provides uniform diagnoses and therapies around the world. It is also used in endoscopy software. In cooperation with Olympus, the WEO researches the acceptance and accuracy of the current Minimal Standard Terminology. The aim of the evaluation is to find and unify possible proposals for both the improvement and differentiation of the terminology used in endoscopic examinations.

As we had been expecting, the OPPO N1 CyanogenMod Edition smartphone has arrived. The handset is available from the OPPO Style store and is selling for $599. This one has 16GB of internal storage space, ships with a few CyanogenMod perks and of course, maintains the unique features found on the regular model OPPO N1.
The CM perks include the special outer packaging as well as a cover and sticker pack. This can all be seen in the image sitting above. And otherwise, the CM Edition OPPO N1 also ships with the original N1 cover and the O-Click — which is one of the unique features found with the regular model N1. The O-Click is a small remote that will do a variety of things included acting as a remote camera shutter and device alarm should the two become separated.
Some of the other highlights here include the O-Touch Panel on the back. This is a 12cm touch panel that allows the user to scroll, tap and even snap images. The remaining highlight is the rotating camera. The camera is 13 megapixel, rotates 206 degrees, has a dual-mode LED and f/2.0 aperture with 1/3.06 imaging module. Other features include the 5.9-inch 1080p display, quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 processor and 2GB of RAM.
The handset is running CM 10.2, which is based on Android 4.2. Along with news of the handset release, the folks at CyanogenMod have also released the source code. According to details shared on the CM blog, they have released the factory images for those who need to restore to the original state, but have also released source code for CM11.
While that last bit is aimed at the more advanced users and developers, it does give everyone else some hope in seeing something based on Android 4.4 sooner rather than later. It will likely take some time, but a fully working CM11 based ROM for the OPPO N1 shouldn't be all that far behind.

Conejo Valley
The Conejo Valley is a region spanning both southeastern Ventura County and northwestern Los Angeles County in Southern California, United States.

The first human residents of Conejo valley were the native Chumash people. Local villagers' first contact with Europeans came in 1770. The Spanish exploratory party led by Gaspar de Portolá, returning from its journey up the coast as far as present-day San Francisco, entered the valley from the northwest. On the outward bound journey, the explorers had traveled up the Los Angeles River, ascended the Grapevine to Castaic Junction, then followed the Santa Clara River back down to the coast. On the return trip, they sought a shorter route to the San Fernando Valley, and were guided by natives up and over today's Conejo Grade. Franciscan missionary Juan Crespi kept a diary of the expedition, and gave Conejo Valley one name that survives today – Triunfo (Spanish for "triumph").[1] Crespi gave the name El triunfo del Dulcísimo Nombre de Jesús (in English: The Triumph of the Sweetest Name of Jesus) to a camping place by a creek – today's Triunfo Canyon Road begins between Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village.
Later, explorer Juan Bautista de Anza used Portola's shortcut on his way north in 1774, mentioning in his diary a stop at "El Triunfo".[2] On de Anza's second expedition (1775–76), diarist Father Pedro Font referred to "many watering places, like those of El Triunfo and Los Conejos".[3] In 1803, the Spanish land grant in the area was given the name Rancho El Conejo.
In Spanish, conejo means "rabbit", and refers to the rabbits common to the region,[4] specifically the Desert Cottontail and Brush Rabbit species.[5] It is located in the northwestern part of the Greater Los Angeles Area.
The area is bordered by the San Fernando Valley and the city of Los Angeles to the east, Simi Hills to the north, Las Posas Hills and the Santa Rosa Valley to the northwest, Conejo Mountain (also known as Conejo Hills) and Oxnard Plain to the west, and the Santa Monica Mountains and Malibu to the south, the Westside, and Pacific Ocean beyond it. The valley is located in the Santa Monica Mountains on an elevated area.
Many high-tech companies, particularly those in biotechnology, including Amgen, Baxter, General Dynamics Corporation, and Rockwell International are prevalent in the area. It also includes many other tech corporations, especially dot com companies and telecommunications like Verizon and Verizon Wireless. It also is home to many healthcare and other various companies like WellPoint, J.D. Power and Associates, Volkswagen, Audi, THQ, SAGE Publications, MacTech and cosmetics leader JAFRA Cosmetics. Although the region is predominantly white with a large Hispanic minority, there is a small, but growing, Asian minority in the region.
Harold and Edwin Janss purchased ten thousand acres (40 km²) of land of what is now central Thousand Oaks from the heir of John Edwards, who had purchased the land from the de la Guerra heirs (all of the land was originally a portion of the Rancho El Conejo land grant) in 1910. A ranch, named the Janss Conejo Ranch, was utilized as a farm and to raise thoroughbred horses with the Santa Susanna Mountains and Simi Hills framing it. Television Westerns such as The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza were filmed in Janss Conejo between the 1950s and 1960s. It was also used as the filming locations for Disney's Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier and Westward Ho, the Wagons! both starring Fess Parker.
In 2013 the Conejo Valley Tourism Improvement District (CVTID) was formed by the cities of Thousand Oaks and Agoura Hills.[6] CVTID is a non-profit corporation that markets Conejo Valley as a Tourist Destination. Conejo Valley's two largest tourist attractions are the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

- Agoura Hills
- Calabasas (a portion[7])
- Lake Sherwood
- Newbury Park
- Oak Park

I do love to crochet the edge of lovely pillowcases, don't you? I'm partial to the simply, yet elegant, shell stitch. It really can make a rather dull cover into something special.
I often give them as gifts. It really doesn't matter if the pillowcases match, just if they coordinate in some way via color or subject.
These are not the same, but they do share a color theme...grey, green and pink.
I usually find them in a local thrift store or tag sales around town. These happen to be a matching set. Lovely daisies.
What little girl wouldn't love these to snuggle with during her nap or at bedtime? Don't you just love the clothes pins?
They are from Monkey Business. The Amazing Pegzini Family for $17.00.
If you have trouble finding vintage type pillowcases, and like to crochet your own edging, I have them for sale in my Etsy shop, two for $8.00, plus a FREE....
tote bag! I found various versions of this at my Target store in the dollar bins that are located right when you walk in to the store! Really sweet and a good size too!
I must admit, I am a hankie whore! I have been using them for years as Kleenex type tissues rip my nose terribly.
Isn't this crochet bowl lovely? I found it in a lovely shop in Winterset, Iowa, called
Delicate and versatile. Perfect for my hankies.
I'm partial to collecting hankies in the states of the USA.
I also had New York and New Jersey. My sister in law is from England and prefers a hankie as well. She and I cry easily, especially when it comes to our children! She lived with my brother in both of those cities, so I sent them to her. My niece and nephew told her they were much too pretty to use!
I agree!
I also picked up this little gem in Winterset, Iowa. Perfect for knitting notions, I think! My stitch markers often go astray!
Have a great weekend,
Yarn tip:
When working with a light colored yarn, use a pillowcase to keep it clean and angora or mohair from shedding all over your work.

How amazing would it be to know what your baby is thinking?
Well by teaching your baby to sign they are able to communicate what they want and how they are feeling.
Signing babies can communicate complex things earlier with many experts suggesting this stimulates brain development and enhances the building of brain circuitry.
Mum-of-two Becky Mulhearn has been running baby Sing and Sign classes for parents and their babies across Liverpool for the last three years.
Becky, 29, from Childwall, began the classes after she found herself without a job just as she was about to give birth to her first baby Florence.
Scroll down for five reasons why you should teach your baby to sign
The former contracts manager said: "When I was about eight months pregnant, I received an email in work saying 'close the door there's no money left' and literally that was it. I had no job, I was in the middle of moving house and just about to have my first baby.
"It was horrendous. I got in touch with the HMRC and they provided me with statutory maternity pay but I was still scary. It was the fear of the unknown with my first baby coming and financial worries, but luckily we had lots of support from family.
"Then when Florence was around four months old, I thought I really needed to start looking for a job. But the thought of going back to nine to five and leaving her at nursery was just awful."
Becky sat down with her fiance Martin Kent and told him about her idea to start baby signing classes.
"Baby signing was something I'd always wanted to do, my auntie had done it with my cousins a few years back so I could see it really worked. So I had the idea, did some research into sing and sign franchises and got trained up."
Becky now runs 12 classes a week with 12 babies in each.
She said: "It has just grown and grown and I've since had another baby Thomas who is 11 months old. He's learning to sign too.
"Florence learned over 50 signs from about 10 months. If the phone rang, she would do the sign for 'who?' and if her dad went out to work before she got up she would be looking around the house for her dad doing the sign for 'where?'
"Signing just breaks down the language barrier, you think your baby is just staring out the window but they are constantly questioning the world. Mums and dads can get an amazing insight into their baby's worlds."
You can contact Becky on 07813 630665 for more details.
Five reasons to teach your baby to sign
- It can help you to understand your baby's needs, thoughts and ideas which reduces frustration for baby and parent.
- Signing also enhances early vocabulary and understanding which in turn encourages the development of speech.
- It can also bring you closer to your baby and enrich your baby's relationships.
- Signing with your baby can also build your baby's confidence and self-esteem.
- It will also stimulating your baby's intellectual and emotional development.

Many of the games at Comic-Con '09 actually made their debuts at E3 last month, but Dante's Inferno is an exception of sorts. The latest from Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores, maker of Dead Space) was really revealed to the public for the first time in San Diego last weekend, but the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 hack-and-slash looked strangely familiar.
Let's cut to the chase: Dante's Inferno is a God of War clone. But it's an impressively solid one, and not just a knock-off. This game could even unseat God of War as the leading modern hack-and-slash title.
After a short time with Dante it's clear that the similarities to Sony's famed ancient Greek-themed series run deep. Players use the exact same controls to string together combos. And when a player's on a roll, a startlingly similar combo counter appears on the right side of the screen. Dramatic scripted events do a lot to set the scene, but they all feel somewhat familiar. Quick-time events are used in the exact same fashion to take down larger baddies. And when those baddies die, bunches of floating orbs pop out to add to score counters and restore magic. When Dante falls low on health, he can reach into pools of green liquid, repeatedly tap the circle button, and pull out magical health-restoring green orbs.
The likenesses go on and on, but the major difference between Dante's Inferno and God of War is the literature upon which the former is based. The Dante video game is based loosely on Inferno, which is one of three parts of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy. In the poem, Dante is essentially given a guided tour through Hell as a means of scaring him (and readers) into good Christian ways, but in the game all that falls by the wayside and Dante becomes a silent protagonist who's on a quest for revenge against Death himself for the murder of his love interest.
For gamers, this means that Dante will wade through ten chapters of Hell (a prologue and nine circles of Hell). According to a rep from publisher EA, there won't be any load times between chapters, only further descent into Hell for our hero. The demo started in the first circle of Hell, Purgatory. It played host to some great set-piece moments, climaxing with Dante riding on top of a furry monster ten times his size that had the ability to pull out the eyeballs of still bigger monsters. Players then controlled the monster, Dante hanging on atop, as it climbed a pair of crumbling towers, jumping between the two as chunks cracked off and fell into the abyss.
Further in the chapter, it became apparent that the game was yet still borrowing more cues from the Greek adventures of Sony's hero Kratos. There's very frequently a human-esque character in the background, getting in the hero's way. Near the end of Purgatory, a giant, ash-colored demon towered in the distance, spawning wave after wave of grunts that chased after Dante. When he wasn't doing that, he was smashing platforms and bridges, forcing Dante to seek new routes. A subtle detail, to be sure, but it's a consistent reminder that our hero has pitted himself against some really big forces. And it's a reminder that Inferno references God of War just as much as old Italian literature.
With the idea very well-established that this game is doing a cannonball into God of War's swimming pool, it's worth mentioning that even if it's a clone, Dante's Inferno is an extremely well-made clone. When a studio clones, say, Grand Theft Auto IV, the knock-off almost never reaches the bar set by the original. Visceral, to its credit, has thoroughly met the bar set by God of War.
One area where Dante's trip through Hell might outshine Kratos' romps through Greece is the artwork. Both games are decidedly inspired, to be sure, but at the end of the Purgatory chapter I was taken aback by the fantastic animation given to its final boss, the Judge of the Dead. He's downright spooky. He's human-esque, like so many other characters in the game, but his animation looks creepily human. It might have been the first time a video game boss actually sent a chill down my spine.
After that chapter, our demo fast-forwarded us to the fifth circle of Hell, Wrath. By this point, midway through the game, we're deeply entrenched in Hell, and Visceral's vision of the place is in full effect. Dante floated on a raft made of stone as another gigantic humanoid watched him go by and spawned flying annoyances for the hero. Here, the game presented the best artistic rendering of Hell since Doom III. Fire and brimstone, combined with some genuinely creepy enemies, contributed to a sort of unsettled feeling distinct from the shocking gore that God of War is so known for.
Visceral is putting all its efforts into the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 incarnations of Inferno, but there's a PSP version as well, illustrating EA's seriousness about taking on God of War in a retail showdown. That version is being handled by Artificial Mind and Movement, but it will come to market alongside the flagship editions.
That will happen on January 30 of next year. The game was originally scheduled for late 2009, but was pushed back to the start of 2010 to avoid the same fate that EA's Mirror's Edge suffered last year: underwhelming sales when put up against established franchises.
Visceral proved with Dead Space that they can take the best of a genre (in that case, survival horror) and distill that into a focused, satisfying, hardcore experience. They'll do the same with Dante's Inferno.

The bar stands out from the other Logica Celata configurations because it is an all-Italian tradition typical of the Italian way of life, touching conviviality and intimacy and the public and private spheres.
The door opens to reveal Valcucine's new home bar: practical, well-organised and complemented by all the equipment required for impeccable wine tasting, to mix up a perfect cocktail or prepare an excellent espresso, served to please any connoisseur.
Once shut, Logica Celata becomes an elegant piece of furniture that is further beautified by Vitrum Arte customised surfaces: a special technique developed by Valcucine to reproduce inlaid designs on glass.
Just like a compelling picture, the "Camparisoda, con noi sempre e ovunque" advert created for Campari in the 60s by Franz Marangolo, an illustrator from Milan, is freely interpreted in a playful style that expresses all the love of life typical of that decade.

Joseph Dresses
Joseph Dresses for Spring Summer 2013
Joseph is a renound designer and manufacturer of high end designer women's clothing and has been since the 1970s. The brand has achieved fame worldwide, and is particularly celebrated for its stylish workwear and separates.
Joseph collections use high quality fabrics – silk, cashmere, cotton and crepe, and the pieces are designed to be complementary.
It's now possible to buy Joseph clothing online from my-wardrobe.com, and here are some of the dresses that are available.
Joseph Maria Wool Dress
The Joseph Maria wool dress in black is exclusive to my-wardrobe. It is also available in teal blue. Made from 100% wool, the dress has an asymmetrically draped neck, cap sleeves and ruched to the waist at the sides. The dress falls to just below the knee on girls of average height and it's a pull on fit.
The dress is sophisticated and elegant, and is perfect for the office and dinner afterwards.
Joseph Perry Wool Dress
The Joseph Perry wool dress, also in black, is another Joseph dress which is exclusive to my-wardrobe. A classic style, it is made from pure virgin wool, featuring a cowl neck and asymmetrical shoulders, with a draped skirt.
It's the perfect LBD for girls who prefer a sleeveless style with the edginess of asymmetry and the luxury of virgin wool, whilst still wanting a classic style that works for business and pleasure. The dress could be considered an investment piece for the professional's wardrobe.
Joseph Striped Cotton Dress
Ideal for the warmer weather, this cream cotton jersey dress features navy horizontal stripes, giving it a decidedly nautical feel. Design features include a zip, trimmed in spotted silk, to each side of the dress; a wide neck and long sleeves. The dress falls to above the knee on most heights and simply pulls on to fit.
Chic and classic, this is a style that you could wear now, teamed with thick tights, ankle boots and a jacket, or later, teamed with strappy espadrilles and bare legs. It's versatile, and there will be lots of opportunities to wear it over the coming seasons.
Joseph Doll Flare Blue Dress
The Joseph Doll Flare Blue Dress is a stretchy crepe dress which is sleeveless and has a hidden back zip fastening.Features include seam detail around the chest, and skirt is flared, making this a classic fit and flare style.
Certainly a more exciting colour than black, you can really make an impact when you wear a dress like this in such a pretty hue. Complete the look with simply accessories to allow the dress to take centre stage.

Joseph Black Lace Dress, Black Lace Frame Clutch and Chinese Laundry Gold Platform Sandals
This is an elegant and extravagant party look, with one eye on the look – and one eye on the budget. If you want to look totally glamorous and sexy you can't afford to skimp on the dress, and with this in mind I have chosen the awesome Joseph Black Lace Dress, style name Jeorge, pictured left.
However, for the bag and shoes I have chosen a matching black lace covered satin frame clutch from Accessorize and a pair of towering Chinese Laundry gold platforms, both of which come in at just under £100.
Complete the look simply with a gold cuff bracelet and a pair of gold earrings.
Joseph Black Lace Jeorge Dress
This Joseph Dress has a lace overlay, but features demi sheer detail to the neckline and arms. Falling to about knee length, with three quarter sleeves and a round neck, the dress succeeds in being both demure and sexy and it has a built in scoop back lining.
Lace always equates with glamour and this dress is a classic style that will last season after season. It's finished off with a back zip fastening and a split in the skirt at the back for ease of movement. It's perfect for any evening occasion.
Accessorize Black Lace Frame Clutch
The clutch on the right by Accessorize is made from black satin with a black lace overlay. The clutch has a polished gold tone frame for a touch of glamour and it fastens at the top with a gold tone clasp.
Inside, it is lined in black satin and features and interior zip fastening pocket.
Chinese Laundry Gold Platform Sandals
As a fashion blogger I get to see a lot of shoes, and there are not that many that still have the capacity to make me say WOW! However, these shoes definitely have the Wow Factor. The slim high heel, teamed with the enviably wide platform, not only make your legs look long but they are actually reasonably comfortable – considering the heel is an astonishing 5″ high.
The upper is made from a golden metallic fabric, which also covers the platform sole and the heel, and there is a buckle fastening ankle strap around the heel. My only criticism – and it's a small one – is that the buckle is silver tone when I think it would look better gold tone – but it's a small point and unlikely to influence your buying decision.
The style is called Takecare and the strappy styling across the toes, teamed with the T-bar down the middle, credit the shoes with a classic look that you can enjoy year after year.
In addition to wearing the shoes with the dress and bag pictured, they would also look good with black skinny leather trousers and even the sparkly jeans that are so popular this season.
UK based, worldwide delivery is available.

There is no one thing that takes PMDD away completely, although there are things that can help alleviate it and make the individual feel better. It's always there, like a demon monster, just lingering in the background waiting for that one simple thing to set it off.
Each month, I have to fight this ugly demon! I can feel it creeping up on me, but just don't know how to stop it. I try so hard, but I just don't seem to be strong enough. One second I can be happy and laughing, then the next I'm in a fetal position crying my eyes out wanting to end it all. "What's the matter, you ask?" The answer every time is "I don't know," and that's the honest to God truth! Through the hopelessness, I reached for anything and everything that could make me feel better. I wanted nothing more than to be my happy, loving self.
I opted to stay away from medicines because it's bad enough I have multiple daily meds to take for my asthma. Instead, I opted to put together a 'No Medication' survival kit.
1. Keep A Calendar
I can't stress the importance enough to keep a calendar of your monthly cycles. It not only alerts you to when you can expect the monster to visit, but it's also a great tool to share with your doctors. There are a number of different calendars you can use, but when tracking cycles and PMDD symptoms, I recommend Me vs PMDD.
2. Essential Oils
There are several essential oils that can help with mood and sleep (2 of the main things that's missing during hell week).
A couple of my favorites include Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, Lavendar, and Peppermint.
3. Meditation
Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and clear your head. I have this CD and love listening to the relaxing music, as it helps me focus and get rid of negative thoughts.
4. Journal
How many of you use a journal or diary? I do and I love it! I actually use a journal just like the one pictured. When you are able to write down your thoughts, you are able to see them more clearly and it allows you to deal with the emotions you may struggle with.
In addition to the things I listed above, I also include me time. It's important to know when you need to remove yourself from others so you don't say things you don't mean. In addition, I take warm baths, exercise with Beach Body on Demand, eat healthy, watch a favorite movie, read a good book, do a craft with my circuit, and just keep myself busy so my mind doesn't wander to scary places.

Today marks the 100th birthday of beat writer William S. Burroughs (1914-1997). Grab a bottle of wine ... preferably cheap wine ... and let's travel back to November 7, 1981. That's when Burroughs made his first appearance on American national television. And quite appropriately, it was on the irreverent, late-night comedy show, Saturday Night Live. As you'll see, actress Lauren Hutton made the introduction, setting up Burroughs to read from Naked Lunch (1959) and Nova Express (1964). The clip itself is an outtake from the opening scene of Burroughs, a 1983 documentary by Howard Brookner, which is currently getting restored. We originally featured this video back in early 2012. Since then we've brought you many other intriguing posts on Burroughs, whose life and art provides so much to talk about. See some of our favorites below:

I just have to say that I feel so good. My body feels smaller than ever. I even had a bunch of comments are work yesterday, which is weird after only a week on this new plan! I love to hear feedback that verifies I am making progress.
For breakfast this morning, I had 1/2 serving of oatmeal with 1/2 cup of strawberries, an egg, and skim milk.
I wanted to get my last run of the week out of the way this morning. I had to run 20-25 minutes. On those days, I do allow myself to walk if I need to. When I run on the treadmill, I always do a 5 minute warm up and cool down walk. So I ended up running 15 minutes straight and walking 10 minutes. I went 1.5 miles and burned 394 calories.
And I felt SO good afterwards. It was a really good workout and I was covered in sweat! A great way to start my day!
I'm doing well on my Jeff Galloway plan for the week. I do each workout whatever day that I want to. So I have to cross train tomorrow to complete week 1!
While working, I sipped on coffee with Almond Joy creamer.
On my break, I ate raw almonds.
I couldn't believe it when I saw this when I walked outside today:
Can you believe that?! Isn't this a little early for tulips? It makes me happy that spring is near, but I hope it doesn't freeze and kill them!
For lunch, I ate wraps made with small Mission Carb Balance tortillas, Swiss and spinach along with a side salad with lettuce, spinach, tomato and FF Western.
Yummy! I was trying to use up the spinach that was on it's way out.
I was craving something sweet, so I ate an Adora Dark Chocolate Calcium supplement. I am amazed at how these meet my sweets craving. I think part of it is knowing they're supplements and I shouldn't eat more than one.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway!
Once I was done working, I got my things ready for a doctor's appointment. This was my 30 day check up after being on my new BP meds. I have lost 7 lbs. since my last checkup. As you may remember, she really motivated me last time I was there and I kind of got my butt in gear since then. That made me feel good!
She made some more changes with my BP meds. I will now be on two meds because I have gotten a lot of headaches since she took me off of my previous BP medication, and it turns out that the medication I was on is often prescribed for migraine headaches. I have had a lot of headaches my entire life. So she's putting me on a combination of the new med. and the old one. So hopefully that means lower BP and less headaches! I will go back in another 30 days. I'm really impressed with her desire to get this figured out and keep checking back. My last doctor gave me meds and threw me out the door. Did I mention I really like my new doctor?
I was hungry late afternoon and while I had already eaten an egg for breakfast, I just couldn't get boiled eggs off of my mind. I was CRAVING a boiled egg. So I ate one.
And a boiled egg has never tasted so heavenly. Who KNOWS what that was about? lol. Ever have odd cravings?
And then I kept myself busy by doing laundry, dishes, and preparing for supper.
I made baked blue hake, steamed sweet potatoes and green beans, lentils with vinegar and a glass of iced tea with freshly squeezed lemon.
Such a delicious and healthy supper. I chose the right color plate to go with those sweet potatoes!
For dessert, I made a box of Jell-O Temptations—Chocolate Mousse Decadence topped with light whipped topping. I actually picked this up on clearance at Target a while ago and had never tried it before.
I can honestly say that this was so delicious that if given the choice between this or the French silk pie that I ate last weekend, I would choose this. It was that good. Not to mention about 1/4 of the calories! I made this with skim milk and only made 6 servings vs. the 8 on the box, and it comes out to 122 calories. Not so bad for something so rich and tasty! I want to try to the other flavors now.
So how did I do today?
I just realized that my calorie budget went down slightly since I lost more weight. That's manageable though. Prior to today, I also have a 878 calorie deficit for the week, in addition to today's deficit.
I am going to aim for eating my calorie budget each day and not less than that. If I want to eat exercise points, I will. But I will probably save most of them for some kind of planned indulgence on the weekend. Something worth it, like a cupcake at my favorite cupcakery, or our weekly dinner out. My philosophy is that if I eat it, I burn it. Plain and simple. I have to stay within my calorie budget. It's very simple math, actually.
Hubby has been working with me on eating healthy snacks in the evenings. Our snack of choice lately has been in shell pistachios. I enjoy them and I am satisfied after eating them.
What you see on my blog is not always ALL that I eat for the day. I often eat a snack in the evening, but not always. But I do want you to know that what I eat gets tracked. Whether it's at a time when I'm reporting to my blog or not. I admit, I've had my bad weeks before, but the majority of them, I have tracked what I have eaten. I'm not about trying to trick myself into thinking I'm eating healthier than I actually am. I am honest with myself. And that's really all that matters.
My main purpose in putting myself out here on this blog is to show others that struggles with weight loss and food are so common. I hope that you can relate to me and my journey. I hope that you can learn both from my successes and my failures alike. I want nothing more than for more people to find the happiness that I have found by learning to take control of my health and my life.
So thank you for sharing this journey with me. For standing by my side and for cheering me along. We can make this world a healthier and happier place by just doing the best that we know how and always seeking to learn a little more each day and keep making changes to improve. Stay positive and stay strong. There is a power in positivity.
Ok, so just wearing my heart on my sleeve today!
Have a good one, tomorrow's Friday!!

"Unbridled creative freedom and enough time off to actively take enjoyment from it."
Interview by Henry Gomez
Q1. In your own words, please tell us what you do?
I'm a professional sculptor. My practice is very traditional, I make one of a kind pieces by hand, the materials I use are both traditional and modern. If there was a theme to describe all of the subjects I tackle, it would be biophilic.
Q2. What inspired your passion for this art form and who has been supporting you from the beginning?
As cliched as it sounds, my inspiration is nature. Not an idea of nature, not a pretty screen shot on a desktop background, more a lived visceral relationship. I consider the plants and animals in my life, those that I have experienced and known personally, to be my muses. In second place would be my academic interests, anthropology, biology, the rich interplay of human relationships with other beings. I find all topics related to this infinitely interesting.
To be honest no one actively supported or encouraged me to work as an artist. My family have been the best, never actively discouraging, and always willing to stand behind the evidence that I can find my own way. But growing up no one validated the possibility that I could actually 'be an artist' in the modern world, especially not a sculptor and especially not a sculptor who does not replicate my work. Making a living as a freelance artist is simply not a way of life those around me had exposure to or could comprehend. Many people in my life responded by trying to warn me against it, often persistently. In this sense I would say I had no particular role models, I've simply tried to find my own way.
Q3. What would you say is the best support out there for artists like yourself?
1. The Internet: The Internet is a gold mine of inspiration, free tutorials on YouTube, and websites to that will help host images and sell your work for little or no money.
2. Your own stubbornness: I believe the true number of creative entrepreneurs in my cohort will come to light in decades to come, but here and now I think a lot of the support needs to be self generated.
Q4. Have you always aspired to be artist, or did you ever dream of following a different path?
I am a person with very promiscuous interests in the world around me. But I would say my two primary passions have always been art and animals. Consistently I have had my hand in both pots, almost always 'working' in both. As a younger person I envisioned art as a hobby and animals (veterinarian?) as a career path, because this is what other people saw for me and superficially it seemed more realistic. However as an adult I have consistently found that I prefer the opposite. I like the freedom of living as an artist and pursing my passion for animals as extra curricular/academic/volunteer.
Q5. What process do you use to create you work?
I am very fluid in how I work. I see some artists who build their work mathematically, planned and meticulously. Although meticulous is a word that might describe some of my aesthetic, my process is fluid. If you are familiar with the concept of 'flow states', I would say this is where I am when I work. I normally start with a visual fixation of some type, a movement, an interaction of color, a facial expression, and simply let the other parts of the structure flow out of or respond to that idea in a nebulous way.
Q6. Is there anything you are currently working on that you would like to tell us about?
I'm currently working to break out of a 'commission ghetto'. As an artist who also needs to pay the mortgage there is always a balance between guaranteed sales and unbridled creativity. Right now I am hoping to slide back into a more free and self-directed space. The consequence of this should be more larger scale works of a greater depth and variety.
Q7. What other artists have influenced your style of work?
I enjoy many people's work. I am not much of a 'fan' type personality, so I'm not prone to following other people's careers with too much intensity. That said, sculptors I have consistently enjoyed are Beth Cavener Stichter and Kris Kuksi.
Q8. Who have you always dreamt of working with? How would you go about accomplishing this?
Surely somebody out there, I simply have not met them yet.
Q9. What are the hardships that come with being a full-time artist?Impossibly long hours. Navigating a world of materials and techniques you may not have any training in. Making sure those materials or processes won't give you cancer (so many 'art' materials are toxic and feature very little in terms of labeling or regulation). Isolation, if you work from home. Having a great deal of faith in your own abilities and decision making, since there is very little guidance and all art practices are inherently different. None of the perks of a traditional job like steady income, pension, benefits or regular weekends.
Q10. What is the greatest thing about working in the your field?
Making your own hours, being able to work in different environments (homes, cottage, studio, public spaces, wherever!), the potential for infinite personal growth, having more freedom to pursue outside interests, meeting lots of interesting people most of whom with treat you with a great deal of respect.
Q11. If you could ask anyone for advice;
Who would you like to ask?
If I could speak with another traditional freelance artist, with a lot of seniority, who has made a living as such for their whole adult life, I would like to simply hear their story. How they changed over time, what they learned, how they best balanced art with other interests, family, money and happiness.
Q12. From your experience in the arts, what advice can you offer people looking to get to succeed in a similar field as yourself?
Take in only advice that drives you forward. Use the Internet to your advantage. Don't emulate other artists too closely but use your own natural strengths as a point of departure. Being an artist is no different from being an athlete or musician with respect to the thousands of hours of practice required to be truly competent.
Q13. What courses/classes would you recommend someone take if they want to be a professional in the same industry as yourself?
Going to art college can really help you learn the ropes of a variety of skills and give you the feedback on what your doing wrong (which really does help). If you want to understand an individual medium, product, or traditional practice the DIY way to do it is YouTube, but taking a short summer course, workshop or apprenticeship through a college can be invaluable. Past that I think great artists are great people, vibrant, intelligent and full of interest in the world. So continue to enrich your knowledge and activity in other fields, it will only filter into your art and make it more interesting.
Q14. How many years have you been working on your skill, and what has that time been like?
I started sculpting animals when I was three or four and I have always been very productive. I would say I have been sculpting 'full time', so in the place of school or another line of work, for six years. I would describe that time as fluid and introspective. Living as an artist is a practice of self-actualization in a profound and sometimes unforgiving way.
Q15. What would you say is the public's most popular piece of yours, and why?
I don't have anything on permanent public display at this time, but several of my images are somewhat 'viral' on social media sites like Facebook, Pinterest and tumblr so I supposed they have the most presence. This image 'white dragon with lattice wings' has the most hits at the time of writing.
Q16. What is your favorite piece and why?
In 2007 I made a piece called Tall Tigress with Lanterns. I think this was one of the first pieces where I started to break into my own. I also recently made a piece for an upcoming exhibition, Fox, that I see as another milestone type piece.
Q17. What career opportunities are there for artists like your-self?
Outside of freelance, for a sculptor, a career in animation, special effects and product design are always possibilities.
Q18. What are you doing to get yourself noticed and make yourself stand out from the many other artists around the world?
I simply do what I do. But as I said before I really seek inspiration from my own experience rather than emulating what I see other people doing. Although I draw from my external passions in many ways, I see my practicing as constantly evolving inwards. It is a continual search for greater personal understanding of what I want and what I'm looking for in my own process. I think this simple but fundamental point, look for inspiration in your own life, is not reinforced enough in art schools.
Q19. What's the dream?
Unbridled creative freedom and enough time off to actively take enjoyment from it.
Q20. Share with us your proudest moment in your career so far?
The first public show I attended with my art really stands out. I walked in with no expectation or preconceived notions of what I wanted. I walked out with all my sculptures having sold and a new idea, that this is something to live by.

Taylor Swift is in court again but this time she isn't on the jury, she's the plaintiff. Tay-tay is suing radio DJ David Mueller for allegedly copping a feel in 2013. He met Swift after a concert when he was a radio personality with 98.5 KYGO in Denver, Colorado and she claims that he groped her butt during the photo-op. Here's Swift's photographic evidence.
M-C: GropeGate: Taylor Swift vs Mueller Trial Starts Monday https://t.co/bXlwgdyvqF pic.twitter.com/sJgmwNTQRT
— Tom Benson (@Tombenson1) August 4, 2017
Mueller claims that this photo doesn't actually show that he's touching her, which is fair. He also says he 'felt what seemed to be a rib cage or ribs' but emphatically denies groping her. After the incident, Taylor's security team accused Mueller of inappropriately touching the singer and he was subsequently fired from his job at the radio station.
In September 2015, Mueller sued Swift for the loss of his job and lost business opportunities the accusations and negative publicity have caused. He also claimed that it was his then-boss, Eddie Haskell, who actually groped Swift after the 2013 concert and that Haskell bragged about it afterwards.
Who the hell would risk a Taylor Swift grope? Her terrible break-up songs have shattered lesser men! To touch her greatness is DEATH! pic.twitter.com/JJvJinhUsZ
— Justin M. Wright (@thinkersrefuge) August 9, 2017
Swift counter-sued Mueller in October 2015 and demanded a jury for the trial. In the counter-suit, Swift claims that Mueller has been fired from on-air jobs twice before and hasn't worked on-air since 2006 (which seems a little off, but that's what the statement said). Swift also says that her suit is less about her and more about speaking out for women who are sexually assaulted and don't feel comfortable coming forward. An excerpt from her statement reads:
'Resolution of this Counterclaim will demonstrate that Mueller alone was the perpetrator of the humiliating and wrongful conduct targeted against Ms. Swift, and will serve as an example to other women who may resist publicly reliving similar outrageous and humiliating acts.'
So major points to Tay for making this about empowering women and victims of sexual assault. She is suing Mueller for a symbolic one dollar while Mueller is seeking $3 million in damages.
And now we get to the trial itself, which is happening now in Denver and is projected to last nine days. Swift's side has claimed that Mueller is only suing her for the money and fame it's affording him while Mueller's attorney argues that Swift is ruining his career with her 'false' claims.
So brace yourselves for a lot of back and forth and he-said-she-said. In the end, the decision is up to the jury and we can't see it being an easy one. Though, we're sure the trickiest part of this case was finding eight people who don't know who Taylor Swift is to serve on the jury.
Also, the best thing to come out of this ordeal has to be the courtroom sketch of Taylor and the subsequent reaction from her fans. There were no recording devices permitted into the courtroom, so a sketch artist created a rendering of the occasion.

Stewart's documentary does Belize festival
Journey Through Music — Rhythms of Africa, a documentary conceptualised by former Third World drummer Willie Stewart, will be screened at the July 16-21 Belize International Film Festival.
Stewart is executive producer of the film through his Embrace Music Foundation, based in South Florida. Journey Through Music was produced by SteadyImage Digital Media.
It looks at 'at-risk' or disadvantaged teens of Caribbean and Cuban descent, as well as Americans, living in South Florida.
The documentary shows the positive impact music has on youth with societal challenges.
"We produced the documentary because there was a need to engage in the conversation of bringing music and the arts back into the schools globally. There was no message being promoted and we thought the mission and task that Willie had before him was the best story to be told," Adrian Allen, CEO of SteadyImage told the Jamaica Observer.
Journey Through Music — Rhythms of Africa is expected to be officially released by September.
Stewart was a member of the classic Third World lineup (1976-1988) that recorded outstanding songs like Always Around, Now That we Found Love and Reggae Ambassador.
He left the band in 1996.

World Availability Day? What the heck is this? We've been touting Availability for the Modern Data Center for a while and stake the claim that March 30 is World Availability Day. Last year we blogged about wishing the world a Happy World Backup Day on March 31, and don't be caught on the wrong side of an April Fools' Joke the next day! Availability is one better than just having backups. Sure, backups aren't going away and are an essential part of the Modern Data Center; but the main benefit of the full strategy is availability.
The question then becomes, "How does one achieve higher levels of availability?" The good news is we can help, including a number of ways that are free for IT professionals. We've long had a commitment IT pros to provide tools to make their lives easier. Here's a rundown of two main ways we can help even for free:
NFR Program for IT Professionals
The Not For Resale (NFR) license program of Veeam Availability Suite is a great tool for your labs and a taste of what can happen with the paid editions. This 2 socket license is fully functional for both Veeam Backup & Replication as well as Veeam ONE.
Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE
Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE is a new product designed to protect Windows desktops and laptops. While currently in beta, we will be seeing Endpoint become generally available very soon. It's also important to note that this product in the beta functionality will exist for free forever! Unlike Veeam Backup Free Edition for VMs, Veeam Endpoint Backup Free does have a scheduler for backup jobs!
Transitioning to Availability
Companies who have switched to Veeam know that while backup is part of the strategy, availability is where it is at. High-speed recovery and avoiding data loss are why many arrive at a backup product. But the hard parts come afterwards. Capabilities such as leveraging that data to having verified protection and being able to sleep at night having complete visibility. That's the transition from backup to availability and Veeam can help with that! If you would like to identify what pitfalls exist and how you can deliver more availability from your data center, I recommend you look into the Veeam Data Center Availability Report based on our 2014 survey. This report does a great job of identifying why companies invest in the modern data center to achieve those higher levels of availability. For example, the figure below shows the key reasons why companies invest in the modern data center:
Backup is no longer enough!
Backup isn't going away, but the modern data center demands more. The expectations are high today, you know that. What we do here at Veeam is helping with that and we'll go at it tirelessly until we all get there. What does availability mean to you? Share your comments below, but enjoy World Availability Day!

Ianterea (Old Ones)
Pirate King: Council of the Wise
Population: 352,405
CeLunte is a unique ship , in that is was born rather than crafted. It is said that the Goddess Enteneme wished her people to have dominion over as many parts of Ianterea as possible, so she crafted a waterfall and the surrounding forrest into a boat.
The ship looks like the bark of the tree on the outside, and the masts are large trees with sail like leaves hanging at it's side. Inside the boat is a literal forest with rivers and waterfalls. The water is created from an unknown source, but it pours out of the gunports into the ocean.
The forest in CeLunte, which is named Ayar ("Ocean" in Elvish"), is an interesting place. It's essentially a gang land. There are the The Many or The Shum (Orc for Many), which believe that they can industrialize the wood on the ship to craft weapons and armor, and sell it to the land people. There is the Nen, which is an Elf gang, that thinks the forest is sacred and should not be touched. The third and last gang is a Dragonborn gang called The Last Bastion. They are a very religious group of Dragonborn that believe that this ship was created by the god Jennu as a miracle of beauty, and should be a relic for their church. They are completely against the The Shum and wish to convert the Nen.
A council of Elves are the "Captains" of the ship. They claim to have a divine connection with the center tree of the boat called the Calpa. They report it's divine wishes to the Nen, as the Nen are the dominant gang on the boat, and the Nen enforce Calpa's will. This makes grand meetings of the captains of the Pirate Nation very interesting, as the whole council reports Calpa's will and speaks for her at meetings.

Packages in the FedEx system receive scans at various points between pickup and delivery. It is not unusual for a package to go more than 24 hours without a scan while in transit – your package may be traveling as intended.

1 big thing: Trump's day of DACA
President Trump visited Irma-ravaged Florida today, but the conversation was dominated by the backlash to his DACA conversations with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They released a statement last night saying they'd discussed passing protections for DACA recipients in exchange for more immigration enforcement, but nothing for a wall.
As a source close to the White House told Jonathan Swan: "[Trump] didn't just ruin his credibility. He ruined our credibility - because we've been publicly supporting him. He humiliated us."
Trump's statements on the subject throughout the day, below:
- 6:11 am on Twitter: "No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote."
- 8:26 am to reporters: "[T]he wall will come later."
- 11:06 am to reporters: "Very important is the wall. We have to be sure the wall isn't obstructed because without the wall I wouldn't do anything... It doesn't have to be here but they can't obstruct the wall if it's in a budget or anything else... We're not looking at citizenship. We're not looking at amnesty. We're looking at allowing people to stay here... I just spoke with Paul Ryan, everybody's on board."
- 4:18 pm to reporters: "[I]f the Democrats aren't going to approve it [money for the wall], then we're not going to do what they want... We're working on a deal for DACA, but a lot has to do with the amount of security. We want very heavy security at the border... DACA now and the wall very soon, but the wall will happen."
One intriguing line: Trump said "we'll talk about that" in response to whether he'd extend the DACA program in the event of Congress failing to pass legislation within six months.
Dive in: Reactions from Congressional leadership.
Go deeper: The conservative backlash to Trump's DACA-deal flirtation.

Last weekend I went on a movie date with a very nice lady. During the coming attractions I managed to get a piece of popcorn down the wrong pipe. I started coughing. People nearby glanced at me nervously. Then, as the movie was about to begin, I got a tickle in my nose and sneezed. Twice. The young couple sitting to my left immediately got up and moved across the aisle. The old lady directly in front of me leapt to her feet and literally vaulted over her husband in order to sit further away from me. For some reason, I was a little miffed. But then I realized the newfound power I had. I got up, crossed closer to the old lady and young couple and coughed again. They all glared at me and once again moved their seats. The game was on! Maneuvering like a knight on a chess board, I countered their move by moving two rows down and one seat over. I looked at them. I smiled. I coughed. They were stunned. How could this be happening? How had their simple movie outing turned into an Edgar Allan Poe short story? But it had! In a matter of minutes, they had become Prince Prospero and his noble cohorts, while I, I had become the Red Death! The old woman covered her mouth and nose with her hand and cried out, "Why are you doing this to us?!" I laughed and said, "Why? You want to know why? Because death, my dear woman, is the inevitable end for us all! And there is no hiding from it. Even at the AMC!" A horrible silence hung over the theater, no one moved, no one breathed. Then the movie started and we all settled down to enjoy the whacky, 3-D antics of Jim Carrey. Oh, and I'm hoping to go out with the nice lady again, but she has not returned my calls.

Having the same problem here; tried FireFox and Chrome to see if it was a browser issue, not seeing any effect. Chrome just hangs with a "loading" symbol, FireFox displays a blank page. Also working on a deadline, quite worried about this, hoping it's not a recurring stability issue.
Tried clearing cache and cookies just in case, and that didn't do anything useful.
UPDATE: Now all of the sudden it just appeared. Assuming something went wonky with a server or an update or something?
