In a joint operation on Thursday, Sept. 1, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Homeland Security Investigations, the Southwest Drug Task Force and the Archuleta County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) seized approximately 600 suspected marijuana plants between two separate residential properties within Archuleta County.
According to a press release from Undersheriff Mike Le Roux, the operation was a culmination of an effort which started on July 11.
In an interview, Le Roux explained the ACSO received information earlier in the year and obtained enough evidence to turn it over to the CBI, which then led the investigation.
"For sure, 600 is a big hit over two properties managed by the same person, effectively," Le Roux said, adding that multiple people suspected to be involved have been identified.
He noted the CBI collected evidence that is now in the testing process.
Le Roux explained that 30 or more marijuana plants is considered a felony.
The undersheriff explained one of the properties is located in unincorporated Archuleta County near Walmart, while the other is located near Chimney Rock and the Piedra River.
The press release notes the information it contains is based on preliminary information available at the time of its drafting, and notes the ACSO's "understanding of this operation may change as additional evidence is collected, analyzed and reviewed."
Le Roux emphasized that the ACSO is not interested in grows in compliance with state law, but rather in large-scale illegal grows.
"Archuleta County Sheriff's Office is in full support of our local Marijuana Business Establishments, including members of our community who wish to cultivate marijuana recreationally or medically within the parameters of the Colorado Revised Statute," the press release states. "Our goal is to ensure that we have a safe and thriving community for everyone to enjoy."
It adds, "We will pursue all black and gray market marijuana operations in an effort to protect our community from an increase in general and violent crime rates, exposure of marijuana to our teens and young adults, and the negative environmental impacts to our natural resources."
The press release further notes the ACSO is "also committed to working with our community by conducting compliance checks and assisting with information on how to operate within the Colorado Revised Statute."
If you have any information relating to black- and gray-market marijuana operations, please contact Archuleta County Combined Dispatch at (970) 731-2160.

The Peach Pit
From Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Dekalb, to Clay, Webster, Quitman, and Taliaferro, every political junkie has gone full Kornacki on Georgia geography in preparation for the runoffs that will decide the Senate. For weeks, political donations have been pouring in from across the country (I've sent so much money there that my wife is convinced I have a second family in Atlanta). And though the candidates couldn't be more different, in today's America, you know a race this important is going to be close. (In a sign that the runoffs could get weird, Four Seasons Total Landscaping just opened an outlet in Georgia.)
Covid Still Thinks It's 2020

South Africa and Brazil are struggling to find space for the dead. Even pandemic success story Thailand is fighting an unexpected wave of infections." Pandemic haunts new year as virus growth outpaces vaccines.

China has built scores of them — encompassing millions of square feet — in the last three years." The Factories in the Camps.
Sedition Impossible
"These objections ultimately won't go anywhere, but it's a definite escalation from what had largely been cheap talk from Republicans still backing the president's repeated attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election."

(No. No. No. No. No! There are NOT two media realities. There is one reality. And there is obfuscation of reality. There are journalists. And there are liars. We really need to get this shit straight at some point.)
Of Love and Loss
"Tommy Raskin had a perfect heart, a perfect soul, a riotously outrageous and relentless sense of humor, and a dazzling radiant mind. He began to be tortured later in his 20s by a blindingly painful and merciless 'disease called depression,' as Tabitha put it on Facebook over the weekend, a kind of relentless torture in the brain for him, and despite very fine doctors and a loving family and friendship network of hundreds who adored him beyond words and whom he adored too, the pain became overwhelming and unyielding and unbearable at last for our dear boy, this young man of surpassing promise to our broken world." Congressman Jamie Raskin and Sarah Bloom Raskin with a moving piece about the death of their son Tommy. This is about the often ignored scourge of depression. But it's also about deep loss during a year when so many suffered them, and when we took so little time to mourn.
Points of Departure
"Kelly found points and miles as a child. One morning in 1996, his father, a health care consultant, came to him and said: 'Hey, I have all these frequent-flier miles. If you can figure out how to use them, we'll go somewhere.'

Pepper is known for its intense taste and stimulating medicinal properties. Similarily to its lover, the rose has been celebrated since ancient time for its stimulating power and aphrodisiac properties. Together they're known to help:
✓ Overcome anxiety, tension and sleep disorders,
✓ Soothe the nervous system and encourage letting go,

From one manufacture to the next.
The story of Carrière Frères naturally follows that of the Royal Wax Manufacture, known today as Cire Trudon. In 1884, the Carrière brothers decide to buy the manufacture: passionate about historical savoir-faire, they have in mind to modernize it. Respectful of traditions, they first embrace the century-old heritage of master candle makers established in the 17th and 18th centuries. Then, eager to innovate, they create Carrière Frères in 1889: under this new entity, their curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit will thrive.
At the end of the 18th century, the industrial revolution is well under way: albeit the stream of modernizations and an increased access to electricity, the brothers manage to keep candle-use alive and creative. Ingeniously, they extend their religious use to include candles as decorative objects: a new generation of pillar and taper candles are placed on diner tables or favored during festive evenings. As early as 1889, the brothers are awarded a golden Medal at the Universal Exhibition for their vision and craft.
Manufactured in the Cire Trudon factory, the Carrière Frères line has since been at the crossroads when it comes to respecting ancient savoir-faire, embracing modernity and building a legacy.
Following the highest standards, Carrière Frères constantly innovates to source only the best ingredients. Opting for sustainable products and a creative approach, each element of the mix is chosen to minimize the environmental impact without compromising on the product's aesthetics or sensory attributes.
Carrière Frères composes its perfumes with the help of the Robertet Group, a world leader in the sourcing of raw materials: through them, a unique palette of natural elements is available to create original perfumes. Favoring only the utmost quality also means respecting a global CSR policy.
Raw materials are either ethically bought from a cooperative, support sustainability programs or organic agricultural practices. For each botanical essence, the process is specific, responsible, sustainable and ethical.
The containers also respond to a virtuous and transparent approach: recycled glass, packaging in FSC cardboard, 100% natural alcohol, untreated rattan sticks, cork top, each component is chose to reduce the brand's overall impact.

Successful software always gets changed.
– Frederick P. Brooks
What is true for software in general, also holds for APIs: successful APIs get changed. The reason is simple: successful APIs are used by various API consumers who demand new features, extensions, bug fixes and optimizations. From this perspective, changes in APIs are inevitable.
But this is only half the story. Successful APIs are used by various API consumers, who rely on the API to remain stable to avoid breaking their existing integrations. Their software clients have dependencies on the API. Even a small change in the API is enough to break some of the clients consuming the API. From this perspective, changes in APIs are undesirable.
Obviously, there is a dilemma. And it is the task of the API provider to resolve this dilemma. In this article, I want to give you some tips for dealing with it. To deal with change and versioning effectively, we need to take a life cycle approach. From the perspective of the API life cycle, we look at the API from its inception and design all the way to its retirement. And I hope it does not come as a surprise to you – but dealing with change is also about being prepared. So you need to start thinking about changes to the API way before the concrete change proposal is appearing on the radar.
We can divide the life cycle of an API into two big phases: the design-time phase before publishing the API and the phase after publishing the API. In these two phases, you need to deal with changes in a very different manner; in fact, when transitioning from one phase to the next, your mindset about change needs to switch 180 degrees.
Before publishing the API
When you initially design an API, you might not even think about future changes. But they will come. So here are three tips on how to support the evolution and versioning of your API already during design time.
Before publishing the API: welcome feedback in iterative API design
Before the API is published, change is great - you need to welcome it and seek it out. Use an iterative development methodology, elicit feedback from beta customers, adapt the API spec based on the feedback you have received on API mocks and beta-versions of the API. This iterative development should ensure that the API you create is actually quite stable, and should reduce the likelihood of immediate future changes. But don't stop with your API design here and publish the API.
Before publishing the API: prepare an API design pattern for versioning
Create an API design pattern for versioning right from the start when you publish the API for the first time. It might seem superfluous at the time of initial design, but it allows you to roll out consistent versions in the future and sets the right expectation for API consumers. Ideally, the API design pattern for versioning chosen for your API is documented in your API design style guide.
While the most commonly observed pattern is realizing API versioning as the URL path parameter, there are various alternative API design patterns for making major versions accessible:
- Realize API versioning in the Accept header: the client can use the HTTP Accept header to explicitly indicate the version of the API. The Accept header still contains the MIME-types as usual, but in addition, the version is appended. The URL of the API does not contain any version information. For new versions, the URL does not change, but the request header.
- Realize API versioning as URL path parameter: the most common technique for versioning uses a URL parameter with the version number
- Realize API versioning in a custom HTTP header: a custom HTTP header could be defined for the version
- Realize API versioning as a query parameter: a query parameter could be defined for the version
- Realize API versioning as a new subdomain: a subdomain could be defined for the new version
Before publishing the API: anticipate future change
Anticipate future changes to your API and accommodate for it in your API design. Everyone knows that this is difficult as there are no hard facts about the future. But it is important preparation for the evolution and versioning of your API. Base your assessment on experience and domain knowledge. Maybe you know there is an upcoming industry standard in the domain of the API that needs to be supported. Maybe you know that some scalar data fields will likely need to become an array in the future. The point is to prepare the API spec so that evolution in the anticipated direction is possible without breaking changes.
After publishing the API
After the API has been published, your attitude to change in the API needs to be much more conservative in the interest of your existing API consumers. Change needs to be managed much more rigorously. The basic rule is that the externally observable behavior of an API (from the perspective of the clients) cannot be changed, once the API has been published – and the exception to the rule is: creating a new version of the API.
Managing change – step 0 – is the change really necessary?
First, assess if the proposed change is really necessary. If you can avoid the change: great. One less problem.
Managing change – step 1 – is the change backward compatible?
If the change is really necessary, determine what the change means for the API contract — typically your OpenAPI spec — and for the API consumers relying on the API contract. Ideally, you have an OpenAPI spec for the published API and a new API spec that has all the proposed changes in it. Assess each of the changes and determine whether they are backward compatible or incompatible.
Backward compatible changes:
- Adding query parameters (they should always be optional)
- Adding header or form parameters as long as they are optional
- Adding new fields in JSON or XML data structures as long as they are optional
- Adding endpoints, e.g. a new REST resource
- Adding operations to an existing endpoint, e.g. when using SOAP
- Adding optional fields to the request interfaces
- Changing mandatory fields to optional fields in an existing API
Incompatible changes (a.k.a. breaking changes):
- Removing or changing data structures, i.e. by changing, removing or redefining fields in the data structure
- Removing fields from the request or response (as opposed to making it optional)
- Changing a previously optional request field in the body or parameter into a mandatory field
- Changing a previously required response field in the body or parameter into an optional field
- Changing the URI of the API, such as hostname, port or path
- Changing the structure or relationship between request or response fields, e.g. making an existing field a child of some other field
- Adding a new mandatory field to the data structure
Managing change – step 2 – dealing with backward compatible changes
If you have found no incompatible changes, only backward compatible ones, you should be able to implement them without breaking clients. Apply semantic versioning and give the API release that covers the changes a new minor version. This new minor version will replace the published API already available. Old clients should not be affected by the changes while new clients can take advantage of the new functionality.
There is one general issue with changes even if they are backward compatible. Backward compatibility is based on the API spec, the OpenAPI specification, which serves as the "official contract" with the API consumer. But Hyrums law tells us that, given enough API consumers, there will be an API consumer relying on any observable behavior of your API, not only on the behavior described in the Open API specification.
Managing change – step 3 – dealing with breaking changes
If you have found at least one incompatible change, it will break clients that rely on the changed feature. A new major version of this API is required, and this new version needs to be maintained in parallel with the previous version. Moreover, major versions need to be visible to the consumers, and they need to be accessible by the consumers. If you have followed this guide from the start, you already have a mechanism in place for picking different versions. See section (Prepare an API design pattern for versioning).
(TODO: alternative - remove: incompatible changes need to be implemented in such a way that existing clients are not affected. This can be accomplished by creating a new major version of the API and maintaining the unchanged API alongside the changed API. Creating and publishing a new version of the API is overhead and thus slows down any changes to the API.)
Managing change – step 4 – sunsetting
Operating and maintaining multiple versions of the API requires a lot of effort on the side of the API provider. Sooner or later, old versions of the API need to get turned off. But this should not be a sudden event, rather a gradual one – like a sunset. That's why we call this phase the API sunset.
You need to set clear expectations for the API sunset and communicate it as early as possible to all affected API consumers – giving them as much time as possible to deal with the sunset and lift their API clients to the new version of the API. You need to know your API consumers and have a way to contact them, which is typically in place when API consumers need to be onboarded. Get API consumers on a mailing list – not for marketing purposes but for product changes. Send out a targeted message on the mailing list to all API consumers when a new version of the API is published, including a timeline for switching off the old API. Motivate your API consumers to switch to the new version in time and explain the benefits of using the new version.
We have seen that dealing with versioning in APIs starts way before the first breaking change is introduced in an API, and even before the API is initially published. A properly designed API will likely be able to live without breaking changes because it is iteratively designed, future changes have been anticipated and a versioning pattern is defined. And if those changes eventually come, you can categorize the changes in backward compatible and breaking change and react accordingly with minor and major versions and eventual sunsetting of API versions.

Switching up your hair colour every couple of months to suit the ongoing season and trend is something we girls love, don't we? From colouring our hair a pretty shade of blonde in the winters to dyeing it a funky shade of blue during the summers, some of us love experimenting with hair colours.
But there are some women don't venture outside their comfort zone and end up sticking to brown hues when it comes to their hair. Are you one of them? Well, we've got good news for you. There are several ways by which you can spruce up your basic hair colour to make it look absolutely stylish.
Following are some amazing warm hair colour inspirations that you need to copy this summer to step out in style.
Dark honey blonde
We won't be surprised if this is the most asked for hair colour this season. Irrespective of your skin tone, this colour looks extremely stunning and the honey-coloured highlights will make your hair glisten when you step out in the sun.
Warm caramel
Caramel highlights on brown hair look really beautiful as they provide the perfect contrast between light and dark. The best part about this hair colour is that it usually looks like a shade of brown, but when you step out in the sun, the caramel highlights really come to life.
Basic brown
Getting your hair coloured for the first time or simply don't want to experiment with new hair colour? You can always opt for a beautiful warm brown hue. Since it's only slightly lighter than black, a warm brown colour provides just the right kind of dimension and depth when light hits it.
Warm chocolate brown
The problem with having basic brown hair is that your hair colour could end up looking flat if not styled properly. Therefore, adding some warm chocolate highlights will instantly add a lot more depth and body to your hair and give your skin a radiant glow.
Although predominantly a winter colour, burgundy, if used strategically, works wonders in the summers as well. The warmth of this colour looks beautiful on all Indian skin tones and helps break the monotony of the usual browns and blondes.

The Frontier Shirt
The latest addition to our Western lineup takes the snap-button shirt back to its roots—specifically in the mid-40s when Jack A. Weil patented the original "sawtooth" snap-pocket shirt.

As you put The Frontier Shirt through its paces, the indigo yarns will yield some incredible fades, and thanks to a sturdy build and rugged YKK hardware, The Frontier will still have a lot of life left in it long after those fades have surfaced. Finished with our signature antique brass concho top button and cut to a perfect length to tuck or untuck.

What You Need to Know
- Retirement firms are responding to challenges by matching fee pressure with cost reductions.
- Firms must separate actions that are in their control from structural problems that are not.
- Offering new products and services is key to meeting participants' changing needs.
The U.S. retirement system faces a decelerating revenue growth outlook because of fee pressure, underfunded retirement plans and an aging population, structural challenges that are unlikely to ease, according to a report released Tuesday by the PwC Market Research Center.
Today, retirement firms are responding to these challenges by matching fee pressure with cost reductions, and some have opted to consolidate. PwC notes, however, that continuous consolidation has further reinforced price competition.
Smaller firms are under even greater pressure from thin margins. According to PwC, the ability to excel in today's environment is closely tied to how well firms can generate scale for distribution, innovate with new technologies and expand benefit offerings to help address gaps in the market.
Consolidation is one approach that has helped generate efficiencies needed to reinvest around these opportunities.
Even so, the significant constraint on profitability restricts how firms can adapt. Those that can't challenge their status quo will find it harder to gain market share. They face eroding competitive differentiation as their offerings become commoditized.
The report looks at how retirement firms can step around financial pressures to reinvest for growth. It suggests how they can reframe the experience or innovate to foster higher levels of plan participation.

Pacemaker put inside brain to control Parkinson disease.
In a unique case, the doctors have put inside the brain of a female patients to control Parkinson disease. She was suffering from Parkinson's disease for last 9 years.
The patient, Savitri Devi, 51 years old female came to Department of Neurosurgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital about a month back. It started with tremors and bradykinesia (difficulty in initiating movements) and later she developed rigidity.
She was being managed with medicines but her symptoms kept on worsening and she started developing side effects from the medicines she was taking. She was not able to walk, turn, or get up from bed properly without medications. With medications, she was not able to control her hands and legs and they would move without her control.
This patient after the surgery improved quite well and is able to lead a normal life with no side effects from the medications. The dosage of the medications has reduced and their side effects are minimal. Savitri devi is very happy and leading a near normal life again which she thought was near impossible. Her symptoms of shaking hands and legs have improved considerably. She can properly hold the things now.
According to Dr. Shrey Jain, Associate Consultant, Neurosurgery Department, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, "Deep Brain Stimulation is a new surgery where you stimulate particular areas of brain. It acts just like Pacemaker of brain. In this case, we planned to stimulate Subthalamic nucleus of the brain. The purpose of the surgery is to help control the disease and improve patient's lifestyle. It is particularly useful in diseases like Parkinson's disease, tremors, dystonia and has been evaluated and successfully shown positive results for psychiatric conditions like depression and mania. The minimally invasive surgery is done while the patient is awake during the whole surgery with support of skilled anesthetist and technicians with a back up of advanced gadgets".
Dr. Jain added, "It is a minimally invasive surgery wherein electrodes are passed bilaterally in the deep brain through two small holes in the skull. Location was confirmed during surgery by examining the patient continuously and recording brain electric current. Her speech, eye movements, and power of the limbs was being monitored during the surgery and it was being observed how her symptoms are improving so as to make sure the effect of the surgery is maximum with minimal complications. During surgery, she stopped speaking at one point so electrodes were repositioned and her speech came back".

Ad Nut doesn't like banks and prefers to keep the walnuts stashed elsewhere—namely in Ad Nut's belly. But Ad Nut commends the branded documentary films that DBS has created and likes the way they have been presented. They've done a good job with drawing out an emotional story and linking it back to their product in a way that doesn't feel like an ad. The web-series format of this campaign is much like DBSs previous "Sparks" campaign.
A spokesperson from DBS said that the brand worked directly with the filmmaker and documentarian to produce this series, without consulting a creative agency. Ad Nut thinks this is worth a walnut or two.
Here's some words from Ryan Lau, the director:
This documentary-style approach to filmmaking allows me to focus on the story of the individual, their unique characteristics and real events in their lives, to explore the concept of 'live more, bank less'. With many people in Hong Kong working long hours, there is a need to reevaluate what it really means to live more and to live life to the fullest. I find it inspiring that a bank would espouse what people admire most about successful business leaders.
And Glendy Chu, executive director and head of group strategic marketing and communications at DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (that's a mouthful!), said:
Live more, bank less is about wanting to do something with your life, whether you're in business, raising a family at home, or have a great idea on how to make the world a better place. You want to live life to the fullest and you want simple, smart and innovative banking DBS This speaks to the heart of who we are at DBS.

Wednesday's Games
Marlins Podcast Episodes
- Wednesday's Marlins MiLB scores: Triple-A Jacksonville lost, 2-0; Double-A Pensacola won, 9-2; High-A Beloit won, 7-4; Low-A Jupiter won, 5-2. The typically potent Jumbo Shrimp offense has scored only six runs over the last five games. Troy Johnston (Pensacola) matched his minor league career high with six runs batted in.
- Wednesday's Marlins loss was unlike any other so far this season. The Fish had a win probability of 92.4% at one point, according to FanGraphs. Dylan Floro allowed a home run for the first time since August 26, 2022 and became the first Marlins reliever in 2023 to blow a save opportunity.
- For the second time this month, Jeff Lindgren cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville.
- Tonight, Joey Wendle (intercostal strain) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Jacksonville. He could return to the Marlins active roster as early as Tuesday.
- When Wendle is ready, would Miami be bold enough to DFA Jesús Sánchez in a corresponding move? Wednesday's majestic home run notwithstanding, I reflected on Sánchez's last year of poor performance and his diminished playing time.
- Elsewhere around the majors, Zac Gallen has tossed 28 consecutive scoreless innings, combining run prevention, accumulating strikeouts and limiting baserunners in an unprecedented way. Robbie Ray's 2023 campaign is over due to flexor tendon surgery. After signing a minor league deal with the Padres, José Iglesias made his debut with their Triple-A affiliate on Wednesday. José Ureña has been designated for assignment by the Rockies. Since 2021—his post-Marlins career—Ureña owns a 5.79 earned run average, the third-worst mark in MLB among pitchers with 200-plus innings. The upper deck at Tropicana Field has been closed for regular season games since 2019, but that will change next week.
- The Marlins have a 37.7% chance to win their series finale against the Braves, per FanGraphs. Triple-A Jacksonville (7:05 p.m. ET) and Low-A Jupiter (6:05 p.m. ET) are at home, while Double-A Pensacola (7:35 p.m. ET) and High-A Beloit (7:40 p.m. ET) are on the road.
- Glenn Geffner broke down the results of his recent Marlins fan survey. Thanks again to those of you who selected Fish Stripes as your primary source of Marlins news and analysis! I've got a few monthly free passes to Glenn Geffner's View from the Bleachers to give away. Simply leave a comment on this article if you want one.
- On this day 25 years ago, Bobby Bonilla blasted a 10th-inning, game-winning home run against the Rockies.
- Our friends at BreakingT created a "Himmy" Butler t-shirt to celebrate the Miami Heat's surprising playoff run.

Tax-Free First Home Savings Account?
what is the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account?
In Budget 2022, the Government of Canada introduced the concept of a Tax-Free First Home Savings Accounts (FHSA), a registered plan, to assist eligible first-time home buyers save $40,000 on a tax-free basis. Similar to a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), contributions are tax-deductible, and like a tax-free savings account (TFSA), withdrawals to purchase a first home would be non-taxable.
Note that there would be an $8,000 annual contribution limit & a $40,000 lifetime contribution limit and the Government of Canada anticipates the roll-out of the Tax-Free First Home Savings Account sometime in 2023.
How to open a tax-free First Home Savings Account?
Like all government-backed programs, there is eligibility criteria and 'small print' that should be reviewed in order for one to understand if they qualify and if the program suits their needs and circumstances. For one to open an account, they must be a Canadian resident at least 18 years of age and considered a first-time home buyer, meaning that they have not owned a home that they've lived in during the calendar year before they open account or anytime during the preceding four calendar years. Note that a FHSA of an individual would cease to be an FHSA and would not be able to open an FHSA after December 31 the year in which the earlier of the fifteenth anniversary of the opening of their first FHSA, and the individual turning 71 years old.
NOTE: One can transfer, tax-free, savings that weren't used to purchase a home, to an RRSP or RRIF, until December 31 of the year following the year of their first qualifying withdrawal – otherwise, funds would need to withdrawn on a taxable basis.
Considering a Condo Hotel?
If you are interested in purchasing a unit in a condo-hotel either to live in and occupy as your principal residence, be aware that there is a smaller lender audience willing to finance these assets. Alternatively, if you plan to purchase a condo-hotel unit as an investment property, be sure to inquire as to the policies surrounding rentals, specifically short-term rentals, to ensure that you are abiding by condo/strata corporation by-laws. One can do this by speaking with their condo/strata corporation and or a real estate lawyer. This might seem like a minute detail, however, due diligence is always recommended, especially in these situations. In either case, these unique property types can be an incredible opportunity for a principal residence or an income producing property.
What are examples of Condo-Hotels?
The city of Toronto, for example, is home to many condo-hotels including but not limited to:
- The Bisha Hotel & Residences.
- One King West Hotel & Residence.
- The Shangri-La Toronto.
- The Four Seasons Private Residences.
- The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Toronto.
- The Residences at the St Regis, Toronto.
There are individuals who enjoy dining, amenities & the general 'vibe' of residing at, or owning for investment purposes, a condo-hotel. DV Capital maintains mortgage lender partnerships that allows them to service their clients who wish to purchase or refinance a strata-condo. Contact us anytime to discuss mortgage financing for condo hotels.
Trigger rates in the Media.
Our Principal Broker, Daniel Vyner, was recently contacted by Business in Vancouver, to opine on the impacts of trigger rates, and noted that depending on the financial stability of fixed payment variable rate mortgage holders, some may be experiencing financial distress and fear of managing the increased mortgage payments.
Feel free to review a bulletin that was released by the Bank of Canada which can provide additional insights into the reality and ramifications of trigger rates on fixed payment variable rate mortgages.

Today, I am announcing that I will not seek re-election in 2008. Serving
the Third District of Mississippi over the last eleven years has been a
great honor. It has been, and continues to be, one of the greatest
experiences of my life. I have come to know well the people and communities
of our generous state.
I am thankful to all who helped elect me to six terms in the House. First,
to my family, Leisha and the boys, who worked hard in my campaigns and every
day to make my congressional service possible. My parents inspired my
service, set positive examples for me, and provided a good name and start. Our
family has been blessed by the many friendships and experiences we have made
along the way.
I have the good fortune of a talented, committed congressional and campaign
staff who have made lasting contributions to our country and state, fought
worthy battles, and run effective campaigns. In the process, we formed
committed friendships and a love for one another. They are my extended
family for which I am profoundly grateful.
Volunteers, family, and friends contributed their time, toil, and resources
to give me the opportunity to earn elections and serve in Congress. I
deeply appreciate all their efforts.
I am also fortunate to have been part of significant chapters in our
nation's and Mississippi's history. I love public service: creating and
shaping legislation, building our institutions and infrastructure, helping
communities and individuals.
With the rest of our congressional delegation, past and present, along with
state and local leaders, I worked to strengthen Mississippi. In Congress, I
focused on, and continue to press forward for, legislation and resources
vital to Mississippi priorities in agriculture, our military bases and
defense missions, veterans, energy, health care, telecommunications, and
economic development. I sought to make our culture more decent and our
communities stronger. After Hurricane Katrina, I am proud to have been a
part of and witness to a remarkable recovery, rebuilding and a defining
moment of our state and people.
As I close this chapter of my life, I see a stronger, more unified and
growing Mississippi. Our universities are leading research centers. Our
military, national, and homeland security contributions expand every day. We
are strategically transforming to a high-tech, high-wage, advanced skill
I look forward to continuing my service in this Congress as I fulfill this
term. Much important work remains to be done. We must complete the funding
for our state's priorities. We face fundamental decisions regarding
Iraqand our efforts to defeat terrorism.
Energy, agriculture, health care and environmental legislation await our
return this fall and next year. Beyond that, I have no plans, but I am
content and confident that I will find new ways to serve and contribute.
Although I will not seek re-election to the next Congress, I will always
remain involved in community and political life. After eighteen years in
public service, starting in 1989 in the first Bush Administration, then on
Senator Lott's staff, and most recently as a Member of the House, it is time
for me to gain new experiences in the private arena. I believe these
experiences will prepare me to be a better leader in the future. I continue
to view public service as a noble calling. I am not saying a final
farewell, but hopefully, simply taking a leave of absence.
I have a window of opportunity to maximize my time, influence and
participation in the lives of my five sons now ages 8 to 17. Time is the
one element I can never recover or regain. Being a father is one of life's
greatest callings.
I make this announcement with a full heart and abiding faith in both our
country and great state. I look forward to working together to complete our
mission and fulfill our promise.
Rep. Chip Pickering Statement

The Browns put together a lengthy drive to open the second half, but finally had a negative rushing play in Baltimore territory to put them in a tough 2nd-and-15 position, followed by a sack on the next play, and then another sack on third down to force a punt and an end to a promising-looking drive (well, by our standards these days).
Cleveland continued holding strong defensively, forcing another punt in a back-and-forth, 3-3 game. QB Connor Shaw found WR Taylor Gabriel after a scramble on the next drive for 49 yards, and RB Terrance West punched it in from 1 yard out on the next play to give the Browns a 10-3 lead. Baltimore moved the ball into field goal range, but a false start and then stingy defense forced Baltimore to pass up on a 56 yard field goal attempt.
Cleveland owns a 10-3 lead heading into the final quarter of the season. Let's go out with a win, Browns fans!

Hi, everyone! I'm Gabriele Mocciaro, known online as Dalembertian. I started to play VGC with the arrival of Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield in 2020. Today I will do the report of my VR Series 12 Challenge team and I will explain some things about it and my run that ended in top 4. I'm really happy with this result for a lot of reasons, first of all because I'm pretty new to this game and also because this tournament was huge in terms of participants number, with more than 500 players.
I have to thank some people before beginning, first of all Roberto Carbonara (Drake), that essentially gave me the team I played, and also all the XITractor family.
Table of Contents
Teambuilding process
As I said before, I'm not the inventor of this archetype, but I tested a lot this team because in my opinion this could be the best choice for an early-meta tournament.
Before the tournament I was thinking that the VR Series 12 Challenge would be the first big tournament in Series 12, and playing daily in ladder I observed that the format was really "fluid", but the Zacian + Kyogre pair was dominant. In general, Zacian was the Restricted Pokémon that I saw more in all my scouting on ladder. So I wanted to play something that was really good against the Zacian + Kyogre match-up but also good against various match-ups: a really balanced team.
In fact I was thinking that in an 8 or 9-Swiss-round tour I could find a lot of different Restricted pairs, maybe with a certain dominance of Zacian + something else.
My basic idea was to play Solgaleo. At the beginning I tried Solgaleo with the Weakness Policy as I had played it before, in Series 11, but I realized that it didn't work well because, with double Restricted, you cannot endure sufficiently. Also, Yveltal was a big problem with Foul Play, and in my opinion there aren't really good Pokémon to trigger your Weakness Policy. I was on the point to discard Solgaleo but then Roberto suggested me to play Solgaleo with an Assault Vest. I started to try his team and it worked so well that I decided to take it for the tournament.
So the Restricted pair was Solgaleo + Kyogre: Kyogre is really good because it covers the Fire-type weakness of Solgaleo, and it is a good receiver for the defensive boosts that Solgaleo obtains with Max Quake and Max Steelspike, and in general I think that Kyogre is one of the best Restricted Pokémon you can use. So the Kyogre has a really bulky set, with Calm Mind to boost its firepower and Leftovers to maintain it on the field as long as possible.
Grimmsnarl seems mandatory on this team, in fact I'm already playing a solid Restricted pair and with screens they become quite immortal. Then also Incineroar is mandatory for me in this format, because it is the best Intimidate user and it has Fake Out and Parting Shot.
Then in the team you can find Landorus, which with its Lum Berry is really good in the Sun match-up as it performs great against Venusaur, Groudon and also Zacian. To be honest, this slot is the most variable, in fact I used Landorus not so much in the tournament… so maybe you can find something better.
Zapdos instead is fundamental, because it is really good as a Dynamax option when you can't Dynamax your Solgaleo, and is also good outside Dynamax: a lot of times, I brought it in the back and used it in late game. Zapdos is here to improve the Sun match-up and is also really good against the Zacian + Kyogre match-up. Zapdos performs well against Yveltal too, and that Pokémon is a serious threat for this team.
The Team
Get the team's paste here!
Solgaleo @ Assault Vest
Ability: Full Metal Body
Level: 50
EVs: 212 HP / 180 Atk / 4 Def / 84 SpD / 28 Spe
Adamant Nature
– Sunsteel Strike
– Wild Charge
– Earthquake
– Psychic Fangs
The spread is quite simple. I chose the Adamant Nature to deal a lot of damage and the defensive stats are even for the boosts. The Attack EVs reach the Nature bump.
180+ Atk Solgaleo Max Mindstorm vs. 236 HP / 156+ Def Amoonguss: 240-284 (109.5 – 129.6%) — guaranteed OHKO
180+ Atk Solgaleo Max Steelspike vs. 212 HP / 76 Def Grimmsnarl through Reflect: 204-241 (103.5 – 122.3%) –guaranteed OHKO
180+ Atk Solgaleo Sunsteel Strike vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mimikyu: 156-186 (96.2 – 114.8%) — 81.3% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mystic Water Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 212 HP / 84 SpD Assault Vest Dynamax Solgaleo in Rain: 127-150 (26.5 – 31.3%) — guaranteed 4HKO
252 SpA Mystic Water Kyogre Max Geyser vs. 212 HP / 84 SpD Assault Vest Dynamax Solgaleo in Rain: 171-202 (35.7 – 42.2%) — guaranteed 3HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 212 HP / 84 SpD Assault Vest Dynamax Solgaleo: 159-190 (33.2 – 39.7%) — 100% chance to 3HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 212 HP / 84 SpD Assault Vest Dynamax Solgaleo through Light Screen: 106-127 (22.1 – 26.5%) — 18.4% chance to 4HKO
Kyogre @ Leftovers
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50
EVs: 244 HP / 188 Def / 36 SpA / 28 SpD / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Origin Pulse
– Ice Beam
– Protect
– Calm Mind
This spread is really simple too: even defensive stats for the boosts, enough Speed to outspeed Calyrex after a Thunder Wave… I didn't make many offensive calcs because with this set you don't kill much instantly; you need some boost and also have to make chip damage on everything.
36+ SpA Kyogre Origin Pulse vs. 236 HP / 156+ SpD Incineroar in Rain: 186-218 (93 – 109%) — 56.3% chance to OHKO
(This is the only important kill you have to take at +0, in my opinion. It is a favourable roll for you)
+1 252 Atk Zacian-Crowned Play Rough vs. 244 HP / 188 Def Kyogre through Reflect: 85-100 (41.2 – 48.5%) — guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Transistor Regieleki Max Lightning vs. 244 HP / 28 SpD Kyogre through Light Screen: 177-210 (85.9 – 101.9%) — 12.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. 244 HP / 188 Def Kyogre in Grassy Terrain through Reflect: 100-117 (48.5 – 56.7%) — 3.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery and Grassy Terrain recovery
Zapdos @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Static
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
– Thunderbolt
– Hurricane
– Detect
– Heat Wave
The spread is standard. I didn't calculate a specific damage, I only need max Speed and damage.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 212 HP / 36 Atk / 28 Def / 108 SpD / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
– Earthquake
– Rock Slide
– Fly
– Swords Dance
This spread endures a +1 Behemoth Blade with a favourable roll, and with a +1 on Speed you can outspeed some Zacian and Cinderace, even if the latter isn't so popular. Maybe you can change the HP to for a guaranteed Behemoth Blade survival.
36+ Atk Landorus-Therian Max Quake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Zacian-Crowned: 204-240 (102.5 – 120.6%) — guaranteed OHKO
+1 252 Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 212 HP / 28 Def Landorus-Therian: 165-195 (86.3 – 102%) — 12.5% chance to OHKO
+1 76+ Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 212 HP / 28 Def Landorus-Therian: 163-193 (85.3 – 101%) — 6.3% chance to OHKO
Grimmsnarl-Gmax @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
EVs: 244 HP / 4 Atk / 196 Def / 52 SpD / 12 Spe
Careful Nature
– Spirit Break
– Reflect
– Light Screen
– Thunder Wave
This spread is quite popular and I simply copied it. You can see below some defensive calcs.
76+ Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 244 HP / 196 Def Gigantamax Grimmsnarl through Reflect: 304-360 (75.6 – 89.5%) — guaranteed 2HKO (Zacian at neutral Attack)
252 SpA Mystic Water Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 244 HP / 52+ SpD Grimmsnarl in Rain through Light Screen: 137-162 (68.1 – 80.5%) — guaranteed 2HKO
Incineroar (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 4 Atk / 76 Def / 164 SpD / 28 Spe
Impish Nature
– Parting Shot
– Flare Blitz
– Snarl
– Fake Out
Incineroar is standard too, the only strange thing being Snarl over Darkest Lariat. Maybe I will change it to have a better response in mirror matches, but Snarl is good against Shadow Rider Calyrex + Follow Me or if it can use Substitute.
The match-ups
Pokémon | Comments |
Fundamentally this is a really good match-up if they don't have Iron Defense Ferrothorn. In fact Solgaleo does a really great job against this kind of team. I suggest to lead with Solgaleo + Grimmsnarl with Zapdos and Kyogre in the back. If they lead with Kyogre + Grimmsnarl, you are free to set up your Light Screen and kill their Grimmsnarl with Max Steelspike, then on the following turn you can switch in your Kyogre for Grimmsnarl and start taking boosts. If they lead with Zacian instead, it is better in my opinion to switch immediately your Grimmsnarl into Kyogre as Grimmnsarl becomes fundamental in the end-game with Thunder Wave. If your opponent has Ferrothorn everything changes. The match-up is not so easy, and the best way to deal with it is to create the condition in which your Zapdos can use Heat Wave on Ferrothorn. In this case I suggest to lead with Kyogre + Solgaleo with Incineroar and Zapdos in the back. | |
This match-up is quite simple in my opinion. You have a lot of answers to Sun and the best way to deal with this match-up is to lead with Zapdos + Grimmsnarl with Landorus and Kyogre in the back. If you manage to make the correct switch-in during the very first turn, then Kyogre can kill everybody in late game. | |
In this match-up Mimikyu's item is really important. If it holds a Babiri Berry, it could be a problem because you can't stop Trick Room, basically. If it doesn't hold it, you can try to kill Mimikyu with Sunsteel Strike, which completely ignores its Disguise. You have to be aware of Mimikyu's Will-o-Wisp, but you can deal with it sometimes by using self-Thunder Wave with your Grimmsnarl. In my opinion, the best comp against this match-up is Grimmsnarl + Solgaleo with Kyogre and Incineroar in the back. | |
This is a tough match-up because Solgaleo is not so good against Groudon and Yveltal. My take against this archetype is that you have to deal with Yveltal with your Zapdos, and then you can freely use your Kyogre to beat the Sun core. So, the best four are Grimmsnarl + Incineroar or Landorus with Zapdos and Kyogre in the back. This match-up is not so common, but can always be difficult. |

I was pretty scared when I saw their Poképaste because they were playing a really strange set. I thought a lot in team preview because I honestly didn't know what to do. In G1 I lost due to a risky switch-in that I made, in fact I lost my Zapdos on a G-Max Wildfire and I couldn't recover from that situation. In G2 and G3 I played super safe and I won with my Landorus because they didn't bring Mamoswine.

This was a really hard match-up also due to the presence of Porygon2, in fact I can't deal a lot of damage on it. In G1 I managed to damage Porygon2 a lot in the early game, and so I won pretty easily. In G2 my opponent played better their Porygon2 and I couldn't do so much. In G3 I was really unlucky because in the end-game I missed two fundamental Rock Slides.

Well, this round was particular because my opponent couldn't continue playing due to personal reasons, so he decided to concede the win to me.

The match was quite simple because it was a really standard team. He didn't have Sacred Sword on his Zacian, which is really good for my team because it cannot ignore my boosts, and he also didn't have Thunder Wave, which can always be a problem. Solgaleo dominated this best-of-3, I won quite easily.

When I saw my opponent's team, I was pretty scared because Coaching Pheromosa was a huge threat in this match-up, as they could get more boosts on their Solgaleo and also had Porygon2, which is a great problem. In G1 I tried to boost my Pokémon with the usual plan, but they got it under control because they did the same thing plus the Attack boosts on their Solgaleo, and I couldn't do anything. In G2 I tried to change the plan: I led with Zapdos + Incineroar to remove their Pheromosa as fast as possible. This plan worked and I managed to win G2. In G3 I tried the same strategy, but in the end game I missed two crucial Origin Pulses.
My opponent didn't come to play, so I got an activity win.
Round | Result | Opponent | Opponent's team | Paste |
The match I think was on my favour, because only Charizad could do enough damage on my Solgaleo but I had Kyogre, so bringing Charizard was not simple. In fact, my opponent didn't bring it. In G1 I won quite easily with my Solgaleo. In G2 I lost because I made a suboptimal play in mid-game and it cost me the game. In G3 i played super safe, took the defensive boosts and I won.

This was the first Coalossal that I faced in Series 12. I thought that Solgaleo + Grimmsnarl with Kyogre could do a great work… and they did. In G1 I eliminated Coalossal on the first turn with Max Quake and I won easily because my opponent didn't bring Zacian. In G2 my opponent decided not to bring Coalossal, but still my Solgaleo was huge.

This match was the win-and-in, so this was the most important match of the day. I already knew my opponent because I faced him in another tournament and I knew that he is really good. I had prepared this match-up as you could see in the previous section of the report, so I did as planned. In G1, everything went the right way and I won easily. In G2 my opponent took better decisions in mid-game, but in end-game I was really lucky to crit his Dynamax Thundurus and then avoid an Origin Pulse.

You can watch the entire match on the following link at Victory Road's Twitch channel! I can add only few things, the match-up was the same as the last round, so I know how to deal with it. The fact that his Grimmsnarl didn't have Thunder Wave gave me a big advantage.
Round | Result | Opponent | Opponent's team | Paste |
This match was particular, because Nova recently entered the XITractor group with which I stream and test my teams. Nova's team was really original and I hadn't prepared a plan for it. So I decided to take Solgaleo + Grimmsnarl with Landorus and Zapdos in the back. He had some problems to deal with my Assault Vest Solgaleo, and in the early game I gained a discrete advantage. The turning point of the match is represented by a turn in which I took an important Rock Slide flinch on his Amoonguss and let me win it. In G2 he tried to stall my Dynamax by leading Amoonguss + Gastrodon, obviously I didn't Dynamax instantly and we begun to play a grind game; the turning point came when I used Spirit Break on a Rayquaza switch-in, I made a lot of damage and my advantage was clear. Then in the end-game some hax happened, he burned my Solgaleo with Scald and I took a full paralysis on his Zacian. Honestly, I think that G2 looked really good for him till I used Spirit Break on Rayquaza. So I also won G2 and I advanced to the next round.

This match-up, as I stated on the previous section, was really difficult due to the presence of Ferrothorn, and also Assault Vest Kyogre was problematic. This kind of match is generally really long and often something happens when the match becomes long. This best-of-3 was the perfect representation. The key of this match-up was to damage all his team except for Ferrothorn, and in the end-game use Zapdos with Heat Wave. Sadly in G1, after a lot of turns, my Solgaleo took a critical hit from his Kyogre and so I couldn't deal enough damage on his Kyogre with Wild Charge: my plan didn't work. In G2 i decided to bring Incineroar instead of Grimmsnarl to have another option against Ferrothorn; actually this didn't work much and my opponent was really close to win the game, but my Incineroar made a critical hit on his Ferrothorn and I won G2. In G3 I decided to bring Incineroar another time because it seemed better than Grimmsnarl. The game was really long and I can't explain each turn, but the turning point I think was the turn in which my opponent decided not to set the rain again and my Zapdos managed to use Heat Wave on his Ferrothorn. This guaranteed me the win, even if the very last turn I made a mistake Protecting my Kyogre that could have cost me the entire best-of-3.
Round | Result | Opponent | Opponent's team | Paste |
I was facing a really good player. I already knew Tabu because I played against him in some Desafío Latam 2 qualifier, and I knew he was really good. The match-up was quite difficult because Yveltal and Life Orb Regieleki were really annoying.
In G1 I decided not to bring Solgaleo. My plan was to Dynamax Kyogre in the late game. Basically I led with Incineroar + Grimmsnarl with Zapdos and Kyogre in the back. The game was quite long because we made a lot of repositioning, but in the end-game my Kyogre managed to win with the Dynamax also because I think he didn't exploit his Regieleki in the best way.
In G2 I tried to go for the same plan, but Tabu played better than me and this time he won using his Dynamax Regieleki in the right moment.
For G3 I decided to bring my Solgaleo. I was thinking that after I made some damage on his Yveltal with my Zapdos I could win with Solgaleo. A lot of things happened in this game, I haxed my opponent a lot and the game was completely ruined by a series of crits and paralyses. I'm not happy for how the victory came because, as I said, the game was completely ruined by luck, and I also didn't play well because while I was streaming a lot of people came to my chat and started to insult me for my luck, and so I lost control of the game. I was sad after this win and after I saw the behaviour of some people. This is a game, there is no need to insult someone because he is lucky in a certain situation.
Round | Result | Opponent | Opponent's team | Paste |
You can find the entire best-of-3 on the link below at Victory Road's YouTube channel. I will add some comments: in G1 the two Heat Wave misses were crucial, but what can I say? I was lucky till this point, so some bad percentage can happen. In G2 I think I played better than G1 and I easily won 4-0 taking a big advantage from the first turn. In G3 my opponent played better than me, especially in the late game in which I didn't play at the level required.
So we arrive to the end! I want to thank again all the people that supported me during the tournament and all the XITractor! I also want to thank Victory Road for the fantastic organization.
See you soon in other tournaments!

Dead Island 2 is an ideal game for those of you who enjoy taking on hordes of undead zombies and disposing of them in fun and visceral ways. It is the third major installment in the franchise and is currently set for a February 3, 2023 release date.
The series debuted in 2011 with Dead Island, whose premise saw your player character marooned on a tropical island resort overrun with zombies. Aside from surviving, you also had to carry out various quests, with the ultimate goal of escaping to freedom.
Gamescom 2022 saw the release of a new trailer for Dead Island 2, showing off a new look for the series and a good chunk of gameplay footage. If you are a fan of the series or just wish to know more about Dead Island 2, I've laid out five important tidbits and info for the game in this article.
Note: This article reflects the writer's opinion.
5 things to know about Dead Island 2
1) This is not the first version of the game
First announced way back in 2014, Dead Island 2 was originally being worked on by developer Yager Development. A trailer showcasing gameplay, combat, and other new features was released at the time.
However, due to undisclosed reasons, development responsibilities were taken away from Yager Development and handed over to Sumo Digital. During this run, no footage was released, and the game remained under wraps until Sumo was also removed from the project. There was some speculation that Deep Silver's vision of the game was not being met.
The reins were eventually handed over to Dambuster Studios, an internal studio under Deep Silver, and they have been working on the game since 2019. Fans will no doubt be hoping there are no more development roadblocks this time around, and that they don't have to wait another eight years for Dead Island 2.
2) How does it connect to Dead Island?
As stated in the intro, the first Dead Island is set in an island resort in the fictional Banoi archipelago. However, as was made evident in the new trailer, Dead Island 2 takes place on the streets of Los Angeles, artfully named Hell A. It begs the question: Is the new game going to be a standalone adventure, a la the Far Cry series, or be somehow connected to the previous title?
It's too soon to say at this point. The world seems to be the same as the one in Dead Island, and it is possible that the timeline could work out, as the first game was not too generous with the larger world lore, sticking instead to the main story most of the time.
There is little reason for the new developers to do a complete reboot, and possible connections to the previous game characters might just appear in the story down the line. Dambuster has done a significant amount of world-building for the sequel for it to be able to line up next to its predecessor, which didn't contain much of it in the first place.
3) Zombie abilities?
As in previous Dead Island games, this time around, there is a selection of playable characters known as survivors, whose role the player will be assuming. As an action-role-playing game, the series has always included a leveling-up mechanic and unlockable skills; although for Dead Island 2, things might be a bit different.
While in previous Dead Island games, survivors were completely immune to the infection that turns one into a zombie, this is not entirely the case in Dead Island 2. Reportedly, while the infected survivors are mostly immune, some effects will manifest, possibly giving them additional abilities.
This is where the RPG elements might expand in the game, allowing players the option to unlock supernatural abilities derived from their infections. Admittedly, survivors having to deal with infection is also a good narrative threat, and one that is sure to play a part in the story.
4) Combat is tactical
Unlike its predecessors, Dead Island 2 takes a much more tactical approach to combat. It's not as simple as a hack and slash game, as it will require players to think while using their tools in new and original ways if they want to look cool while taking down the shambling hordes of the walking dead.
Targeting specific parts of a zombie will lead to expected consequences. For example, slashing off a leg will make most enemies flop down to the ground. Additionally, this will open them up to a finisher known as Skull Stomp, which does exactly what the name suggests.
The environmental sandbox can also be a useful tool, as players will be able to use exposed wires, explosive barrels, and even combine elements like electricity and water puddles to take out large numbers of the undead. Zombies themselves will sometimes carry accessories like grenades that can be used to hilarious effect.
5) The open world
Much like the previous entries, Dead Island 2 is also an open-world game, and takes place in L.A., California. The map is reportedly divided into various districts that encompass many iconic locations in the city, including Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Beverly Hills, and Bel Air.
Each district has its own distinct look and feel, with some being large and expansive and others more compact and structured. Districts will be unlocked as players progress through the story, with each having their fair share of side quests, enemies, and additional activities.
The zombie population of the districts will also vary, with each location having its own style. To provide a feel for how the zombies were once regular people, the game will design them in a way that reflects life as it was in the location they once inhabited as humans. For example, if players head to a beach area, they'll be met with scantily-clad swimear-sporting undead, which is a sight to behold.

I just came back from Lantern Bay Resort in Muskoka with my family! We had a wonderful time. Lantern Bay is one of 9 properties owned by Great Blue Resorts.
Lantern Bay is a secluded resort. When you get off Highway 11, you will then be driving through a forest of trees for 20 minutes. The views of the trees are breathtaking.
When we arrived at the resort, we first headed over to the welcome centre. Everyone was super friendly and very hospitable. They were one of the friendliest reception desks I have ever encountered on a vacation. After a quick briefing, we checked into our two bedroom cottage.
The place came equipped with a television, family room, a full kitchen with a gas stove, and a kitchen table. One of the bedrooms had a queen bed and the other had a bunk bed.
Josh (from the resort) went through a check list for us and gave us instructions on how to use different gadgets in the cottage.
There are two outdoor pools at this resort. One of them is 3 feet deep and the other is 5 feet deep.
There is a nice little sandy beach with lounge chairs. We brought our cooler with food and drinks and some sand toys down to the lake, and parked ourselves there for a few hours.
My kids enjoyed jumping off the floating dock together.
There is a large sandy park on the premise. It's perfect for all of the seasons that Lantern Bay is open for (May-October). It was hard for me to get my children out of there. The kids had a blast.
You can take out boats at this property. You can go kayaking, canoing, and paddle boarding on the lake.
If you have time to do the Pontoon Tour, I highly recommend booking this! Although there is an extra cost for this, it is well worth every penny. You will get a private boat tour from Mike, who works at the resort. He is so knowledgeable about the area, he will give you a full history lesson. We visited some beautiful cottage areas that you can only get to by boat. We also went over to the Trent Severn Waterway. We were able to see the boats get lowered down to get to the other side of the water way. I have never seen this before, and it is hard to explain unless you see it. Then we went to this amazing rocky area and my son got to jump off rocks into the lake. It was such a nice, memorable experience.
The resort has a kids club located by the swimming pools.
On our first morning, my daughter did a cute monkey craft. We missed the pool games to follow, because we wanted to spend time at the beach.
The following day, my daughter did an adorable koala craft. Then, they brought in the company Zoo To You to show the kids animals. Some of the animals they introduced the kids to were a tarantula, a snake, a chinchilla, a bearded dragon and a hedge hog.

There is no restaurant on site, but you can purchase snacks in the Welcome Centre.
On the first evening, we drove into Gravenhurst and did a grocery shop at Sobeys. We got food for breakfasts, lunches, and our dinner for the following night. We went into town to a restaurant called Frosty's Pub. In the mornings, we ate our breakfasts at the cottage. For lunches, I would pack sandwiches in a cooler, and take them with us to the beach or pool. For our second dinner, we made a barbecue.
•You need to bring your own sheets, pillows, towels, paper products, and bath products. We brought 4 sleeping bags and 4 pillows. We purchased our sleeping bags for $20 each at Mountain Warehouse.
•I labelled garbage bags, and packed one for pillows and one for towels.
•The town of Gravenhurst is 20 minutes away. There is a Sobeys grocery store and a bunch of restaurants.
•Good things to bring with you are sandwich bags, plastic cutlery, plastic cups, and paper plates.
Absolutely!!! We had a blast during our two night stay and wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this resort to all of you.
Stay tuned for a September Deal!
