Meet Playboy Plus's latest newcomer, Shannon Troy from Vancouver, Canada. "I actually grew up in Minitonas, Manitoba. It's very small and quiet. It's about five hundred people. There's not much going on there," laughs the green-eyed makeup artist with the long blonde hair. "My modeling experience is limited. This is the first real photoshoot I've done. I've been asked to get in front of the camera, but I never really modeled until now. I'm on set today shooting for Playboy Plus with Cassandra Keyes." For her first set, Shannon wore a nude-colored bodysuit with a multicolored robe and spread her body across a dining room table in a way that screams bon appétit. "I think my best assets are my eyes, not my butt. It's too bony!" laughs the busty blonde. "I love my stomach and my boobs, definitely my boobs. I'm all-natural." A natural and toned figure like Shannon's needs to be seen, and she could think of no better place to show it off than Playboy Plus. "I want to be a Playboy model because it's always been my dream," she gushes. Dream of beautiful Shannon Troy, right here on Playboy Plus

What luck, the same cookbook for all blood types
The Blood Type O Diet is one of a group of diets that depend on the individuals blood type. These 4 diets are all said to promote weight loss, eliminate toxins and fat from the organism, fight against some illnesses, and slow the aging process. Blood type O, in which O stands for origin, is the most common one. These people tend to move a lot and are meat eaters. They should be physically active and avoid grains, dairy products, and legumes, food that makes them gain weight. Here are some of the diet principles.
Blood Type O dieters should eat small quantities of lean meat. In general, red meat, seafood, liver, laminar (an algae), and vegetables such as spinach help them lose weight. Nuts and grains may be avoided for rapid weight loss. Whole wheat is a problem food. This diet comes with a long list of foods to eat and foods to avoid. Even among the favored food groups such as fish and vegetables there are plenty of items to avoid. For example, stay away from cabbage, potatoes, corn, black olives, eggplant, avocados, and regular and shiitake mushrooms. Good choices include leafy green vegetables, garlic, beets, turnips, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnips, red peppers, leeks, dandelions, horseradish, and Jerusalem artichokes. You should probably take vitamin B, calcium, and small quantities of iodine supplements. Clearly you wont be able to follow this diet without a book. Three times a week perform cardiovascular exercise such as walking, bicycling, or swimming.
These foods are part of the Blood Type O Diet.
Advantages of the Blood Type O Diet include improving the state of your cells and immune system. Its foods are varied and healthy. Disadvantages include the need for supplements and the lack of fiber.
Here are two sample menus:
Menu 1 Breakfast: Breakfast: Puffed rice. A glass of soy milk. A glass of pineapple juice. 1 Tea. Lunch: Endive salad. Filet of sole. A slice of rye bread. Sliced pineapple. The mid-afternoon snack is carrot and celery sticks and a glass of prune juice. Supper: Spicy lamb meat balls. Steamed leeks.
Menu 2 Breakfast: A slice of wheat germ bread. Light jam. A glass of pineapple juice. 1 Tea. Lunch: Chicken salad. A glass of tomato juice. The mid-afternoon snack is a peach and a glass of soy milk. Supper: Green salad. Haddock filet. Green beans and broccoli.
Some of the information in this article comes from a fascinating new book, La Bible des Régimes, written by Jenny de Jonquières and published by Amérik Media. Her book describes more than 80 diets and weight reduction programs. Each diet is presented with 5 menu plans, a detailed discussion of its advantages and disadvantages, and lots more. This information-packed book is presently availAle only in French. For more information consult the publishers website www.amerik-media.com.

Our office has been asked to investigate or include these mechanical ducts on at least two recent projects. (within the last 6 months) On the first project, a condo, the system was studied and the engineer and contractor dismissed the concept because of difficulties in building this system. On the second project, a hotel, they were included in the original design. However, after the contractor bid the project they were value engineered out. One reason was construction difficulties. Alot of time was spent by me reviewing the mechanical drawings to ensure that the ducts were layed out per our directions. The ducts are placed at slab-mid depth and need to remain a certain distance away from the columns so that the punching shear capacity is not reduced too much. (this distance needs to be determined by the engineer and coordinated w/ the mechanical engineer) Also the ducts need to be located properly so that they clear tendons in the perpendicular direction. The tendons will be at mid depth of the slab approximately at the 1/3 points. Therefore, the tendons can cross between a certain distance from the column (determined by you for punching shear) and a certain distance from the 1/3 point to provide adequate clearance between the tendon and the duct. The other crossing point is at mid span where the tendon will have to be pushed all the way down to clear the duct at mid depth. Therefore, even if you have a short span that does not require full drape, in a thin slab you will likely have to drop the profile or the duct cannot cross at that location. My experience was that the structural engineer needs to spend allot of time reviewing the mechanical drawings as the mechanical engineer does not understand the requirements fully.
The manufacture of these ducts is a Canadian company. The system is called Eccoduct and has been used in Canada in both mild and p/t slabs. They have some documentation, although vague, that shows that it has been used in p/t slabs and mild slabs ranging from 6.5" to 8".
If you don't have their literature, you can get ahold of them at (604) 530-4151.
Jeff Creagan wrote:
We have been asked on several recent projects about the feasibility of introducing in-slab mechanical ducts (i.e. 2" x 12") into our flat plate post-tensioned concrete slab design. Apparently, this is a system that is very common in Canada, where they are utilized in conventional mildly reinforced slabs. Any opinions?

In some posts, such as this one, "word wrapping" is absent. It becomes somewhat cumbersome to read the post. Is there something I can do to introduce "word wrap" in the document, or can something be done by the author so that the document is contained within the screen width? Rajendran Harold Sprague wrote: > > Mark, > > Be careful to establish whether this is a "fastest mile" wind, a "3 second gust" wind, a "sustained wind", or a wind reported by the weather service that has not been normalized. It will make a very large difference. The ASCE 7-93 dealt with "fastest mile" winds as does the UBC. The ASCE 7-95 deals with "3 second gust" winds. If it is not normalized, call a wind engineering expert like CPP in Fort Collins, CO. > > This being reported as a hurricane wind suggests a "one minute" wind or "sustained" wind, which is the standard of hurricane guys. They will spout things like the Saffir-Simpson scale Category 5 which will give a range of sustained winds. If it is a sustained wind, convert it to a 3 second gust using the Krayer-Marshall curve that is in the appendix of ASCE 7-95. Then use the ASCE 7-95 to determine the wind pressures on your structure. The conversion is not straight forward. > > If you chose to convert to a "fastest mile" wind to use ASEC 7-93, be careful. Using the curves becomes an iterative process in which you close on a time of duration. It takes about 3 or 4 iterations and is not for the uninitiated. You can reference Emil Simu's book on wind design for good commentary and examples. There is a paper floating around that does not use the iterative technique. It is wrong. > > Also be careful in how you use the wind pressures. You will obviously use them to establish loads for your primary frame. But lateral drift for building performance is up to the engineer. The codes will not hold your hand on this one. Currently the trend is to use a 1 year wind for human perceptibility due to lateral acceleration issues and a 10 year wind for deformation compatibility issues.

It should come as no surprise that someone who writes science fiction with romance would enjoy the Mass Effect universe created by Bioware. Yes, I played the trilogy. Despite its flaws, I still consider it one of the greatest RPGs of all time: it did something no other RPG series had done. It created a trilogy, with unique choices from each game carrying over into the subsequent games. You can argue about how the ending of ME3 made those choices superfluous, but that is for a different day. That third game had a weight that few roleplay games have matched. I still remember tearing up during Liara's conversation with my lady Shepard about the time capsule. I cried when Mordin died. That game hit so many emotional beats there were times when I had to walk away because I needed a break to process what had happened.
So to say that I am excited about Mass Effect Andromeda's release would be a huge, massive understatement. Sure, I have my reservations; as stated, ME3 wasn't without flaws, and I've been burned by Bioware before (Dragon Age: 2 was pretty terrible). But that being said, I enjoyed the heck out of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and I've been excited to see how Andromeda turned out ever since.
I played the first five hours last night, once EA Access opened up their ten hour trial early. But before it did, I'd already seen some early "first impressions" posts go live. The scathing one at Rock, Paper, Shotgun by John Walker being the one that got the most play, largely, I think, because the internet loves nothing so much as a good roasting. What struck me about it, however, was the absolute delight he seemed to take in writing the most negative "review" possible…while then admitting in the comments that he never even played Dragon Age Inquisition. Since his post went live, some other "mixed" reviews came out. And one thing is very clear: there are people absolutely loving the game, who love how it feels like Mass Effect, and people who are ripping it apart for following the same basic formula Bioware always has, and because it…feels…like…Mass Effect.
No lie. A camp of people, including the most scathing review above, seem inclined to hate the game because it "retreads familiar territory". They also aren't getting too attached to the characters yet, some going so far as to call the writing or voice acting clunky, or worse. Others really dislike the "chosen one" format, where your character becomes the chosen one hero who can lead everyone to salvation within the first hour of the game. After my play experience last night, I would like to address these from my perspective, and I suspect it is a perspective that will match many other player experiences – I mean, I can't be the only one enjoying the game!
- The "retread complaint". Well, speaking as a writer, I would like to point out that Andromeda is a new entry point into the series. They actually have to retread some ground to introduce new players to the universe. I suppose they could have handled some of that exposition better, more smoothly. A lot is accomplished through conversational options with the NPCs…and if you are a veteran ME player and don't care to hear what the genophage is again, or how it affects the krogan in Andromeda, you don't have to ask. So…rather like the fetch quests that some say bogged down DAI – you can just skip a lot of it.
- The characters – your squadmates. Okay, just how iconic were Garrus, Kaidan, Wrex or Liara in ME1? I challenge you to think about that game, in particular the first few hours. I think you only really met Kaidan, Ashley and Garrus in that time, and certainly they seemed a bit generic, even forgettable at that early point. Time was needed to really get to know them. To experience major story beats alongside them, to feel that Garrus became your best bro, or that your character was falling for anyone. Time is irreplaceable. No one is going to feel totally involved in Cora or Liam, Vetra or PeeBee in the opening hours of the game. Give it a chance! Give Bioware a chance. Their characters are something they're known for, especially in this universe.
- The writing. Yes, in some places the writing is clunky. A couple lines of dialogue are just "meh" (I cringe every time I see the opening sequence where Cora says "It seems centuries since we spoke.") But the story is just getting started. I think if you review any game, there will be moments of clunkiness in the writing, easily ignored. I mean, Gears? Gears 4 had some clunky writing, y'all. And in DAI, it didn't click in and really feel like Dragon Age to me until the first confrontation with Corypheus. I remember the moment clearly. My character uses the trebuchet to blow up a mountain and bury the village, and then must struggle through a storm to escape, and wakes to a camp full of arguing companions and advisors, and then a song breaks out. That whole sequence put me back in the emotional place of playing DA:O. When you are playing games as massive as these, give it time to settle in before you make a judgement. I've already felt a glimmer of that ME magic, in a significant if short cut-scene between Sara and her Dad that I can't be more specific about without major spoilers. (Not to mention all of the little nods – anyone else notice the dialogue happening during the tram transport from your ship to the Nexus? Remind you of, oh, any elevator rides at The Citadel?) I also love that Ryder's Dad is an N7. That is a great tie back to the trilogy. To me, this already feels like a Mass Effect game, and that is a huge win at five hours in.
- The voice acting. I really don't see an issue at all with this so far. Like, what are these complainers even talking about? The voice acting, as with most Bioware games, is superb. (I know there were some complaints about male Shepard's monotone, but I played as lady Shep, so…no comment, I guess.)
- "The Chosen One". Dude. Seriously? One, you are playing an RPG – your character is the hero. They are supposed to be special and awesome! Two, you are playing a Bioware RPG! This is the format! The one they've been using for…forever! If you want something different, play some other RPG and hope it doesn't use the same trope, I guess. After how many games of "The Warden", "The Champion", "Spectre", "The Inquisitor" – if you are upset that Bioware is using a "chosen one" story, I have news – you probably shouldn't be playing their games. As to it happening in the first hour of the game, well. Yes, it might have been nice to get a little prologue with some interaction between Dad Ryder, Bro Ryder and Sara, maybe back in the Milky Way before the Initiative began. If I were writing this as a book, it's what I would have done. Joseph Campbell calls it establishing the Ordinary World before you sink your hero into his or her new, heroic world. I call it establishing an emotional link to the characters and who they are before events start to change them. It's one of the reasons that Pirate Nemesis has a prologue, introducing Mercy as a thirteen-year-old. But, it's not like we have a long history of getting that ordinary world piece in Bioware games…or any RPG. As I'm thinking of The Witcher 3, one of the best RPGs of all time, it, too, starts Geralt off right in the middle of things, chasing Ciri and Yen.
And I think that is my biggest takeaway. How many companies are making big, character driven RPGs like this? Personally, I can only think of two – Bioware and CD Projekt Red. Maybe there are more I don't know about, but the Japanese RPGs I have played don't really seem to allow you the same choices or be as character driven (to me), and Bethesda's games, while entertaining, are what I call "beer and pizza" RPGs. Beautiful, sprawling open worlds. Very little actual characterization. I don't really care about anyone. It's a dungeon crawl with a big story I almost never really care about or finish. I have never cried at a Bethesda game. In fact, as excellent as Dragon Age: Origins and DAI were, I have only ever cried in two game worlds: Mass Effect and The Witcher. (Although, if I had romanced Alistair in DA:O and he died at the end, I probably would have cried. As it was, it was the first time I ever sat and just let all of the credits play at the end of a game, because I felt so emotionally invested I didn't want it to end. The Witcher 3 was the same.)
I get that ME:A has some graphics problems, particularly with the faces. I was stunned to find my customization options limited to a few alterations to a handful of presets. DA:I you could take the preset and literally change everything about it. ME:A, not so much. I get there are flaws. I understand that, and I hope there are some patches that come out addressing some of them. I hope the next game improves on the character animations. (But didn't we all say that about ME1, 2 and 3 as well? Who can forget the horror of no eyelashes on your character during cut scenes? Or the "giraffe neck" problem of lady Shepard?) I view these as minor annoyances, not game-breaking issues.
So everyone out there posting these scathing first impression reviews, I guess I just want to know: what is it you want from Bioware? What game out there emulates the perfection you are seeking? And before you answer, yes, there are certain things CD Projekt Red does better. Just like there are certain things Bioware does better. For me, both of these companies do a great job, and yes, I did like The Witcher 3 slightly more than DA:I, but it also feels a bit like comparing apples to oranges. Both are excellent roleplay games, with very different feels, systems, strengths and flaws. I think Andromeda is going to be an amazing game. I can't wait to be 20 or 30 hours in and totally immersed.
Oh, and one more thing: I haven't played multiplayer yet, but from everything I hear it is an updated version of ME3 multiplayer, and that is perfect for me. To those complaining it isn't "like Gears 4 Horde", why would you want it to be? G4H is an awesome bullet-sponge horde and I really enjoy it. ME was never like that. It's about different classes and powers and killing the bad guys in whatever way best suits your mood or style of play. Gears is building fortifications and a base and shooting until they're dead. It's okay that each game is different, and I'm super excited to be able to play both.
If anyone from Bioware happens to read this, kudos to you for producing a game I think I'll be enjoying for many, many hours to come. Don't let the haters get you down! Always remember that the negative is the most vocal online, and the positive are too busy actually playing the game.

Homemade Cinnamon Gingerbread Christmas Ornaments
Ok. I know that this isn't food. You can't (or at least shouldn't!) eat these. But, I figured since 2 of the 3 ingredients are edible, these lovelies deserved some blog space. As you know, I am into "homemade." My Christmas decorations are no exception. These ornaments go back to my college days, as a friend from my elementary education math methods class shared this "recipe" with me. The fact that I still have the original recipe on her cute notepad paper some (a-hem) 15 years later is truly a Christmas miracle (I am so absent-minded!). For our second Christmas as a married couple, I redesigned my Christmas decor theme and made these ornaments. Ten years later, I am still using and loving them! They look perfect next to my homemade dried fruit ornaments and the rustic metal and wooden snowmen, angels, and stars.
Homemade Cinnamon Gingerbread Christmas Ornaments
3/4 cup cinnamon
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbl. tacky glue
Combine all three ingredients in a bowl, mixing together with a spoon. Mix until the dough forms a ball. If dough is too wet, add more cinnamon. If too dry, add a bit more applesauce. (I have always had perfect results with the above amounts as is).
Sprinkle a dry flat surface with a bit more cinnamon and roll dough out with a rolling pin to desired thickness. Use any shape of cookie cutter and cut out shapes. Place cut outs on wax paper; repeat with remaining dough. Using a toothpick or cake tester, make a hole in the top of each ornament while dough is soft (this is for your ribbon!). Allow to dry for 3-4 days, or until completely dry and hard. Thread pretty ribbon through the hole.
Enjoy the cinnamon smell!

I have tried many RCA Interconnects and these are by far my personal favorite for subwoofer applications. I have this set running my two AW1208T's in a ported enclosure powered by my JL 1000/1. These interconnects have the best transfer of low notes. I have the Monster 401XLN, and the MicroXLN, and I have tried Directed Expert series and I keep turning back to my audiobahn experts for my subs. I run 401XLN for my components and they seem to do a better job for those but the audiobahns are just superb for subwoofer applications.

NAPOLEON HILLS's "The Laws of Success" is his major work - A success manual course with fundamental 16 Lessons. This Luxury Edition contains 422 pages, the COMPLETE Success Reference Book of all times. A true masterpiece with the fundamentals of the Law of Success philosophy.

A Word From the Author In every chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for hundreds of exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years.
The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than half a century ago. the canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.
When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie's cooperation, I have kept my promise.
Napoleon Hill, 1928From the Author:
May I congratulate you on your persistence. Any man who devotes that much time...must of necessity make discoveries of great value to others. I am deeply impressed by your interpretation of the "Master Mind" principles which you have so clearly described. (President Woodrow Wilson)

An Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe against former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi and others has established alleged forex violations worth Rs 105.94 crore related to the grant of guarantees to participating foreign players of a certain base, retainer fee and player fee.
The probe found the guarantees were allegedly granted in 2007-08 without the general or special permission of the Reserve Bank of India — this is needed in cases of persons not residing in India, according to a government source familiar with the probe.
The guarantees were to be invoked by players in case they were not picked by franchises in the auction.
The case is under adjudication and the process may get over in August.
Earlier, the ED had issued a notice under section 42 (1) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), providing for vicarious liability to the IPL chief.
According to Modi's advocates, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had filed a detailed response to the ED show cause notice, denying those allegations. They also pointed out that Modi, in a separate reply, had denied both the allegations and the application of section 42 (1) to him.
Despite attempts, HT could not reach Modi's legal counsel for a response.
According to the source, the probe also found that on comparing the list of players to the copies of Memorandum of Understanding (both submitted by the IPL's organising body), it turned out that a large of number of agreements made with the foreign players had not been initially submitted to the ED.

Fishing Naked 2015 BluRay 720p x264
Fishing Naked is a comedy. It is a film about four young adults being bad in the woods. They pull Bigfoot hoaxes, scare tourists, disrespect their elders, hook up and smoke dope. That is until they realize there is an alien creature they have inadvertently put in harms way with all the attention they have been attracting to their rural mountain community. As their relationships fray, they hatch a half-baked plot to pull the biggest hoax yet to right their wrongs by deliberately getting caught in the act.

I was adopted in 2011 but unfortunately, I found my way back to Paws4ever. I'm a little nervous around new dogs, but I'm slowly starting to get the hang of it. I have pretty decent leash manners for a big, strong girl like me. When I'm upset, I express my feelings through song; it makes me feel better, but not necessarily those around me. I am ALL about the people - PEOPLE, PEOPLE PEOPLE! When you get to know me, you see my silly, quirky personality. I'm looking for a stable, low-key forever family who can commit to me for the rest of my life. I have so much love to give - are you the one for me?

BREED: Treeing Walker Coonhound
Good Day! My name is Duncan. I am a Treeing Walker Coonhound, I think. That's what I've been told.
I'm an older gentleman, but I'm still really active. Mostly when there is the possibility of food! Food! Glorious food!!! I have an incredible zest for life! Especially food!! I'd love to introduce an adoptive owner to nose-work, which I truly excel at. Then I could get some food. After that, we could snooze on the couch together! I also have a beautiful deep bay. People comment on my loud, full voice, so I sing for them. Especially at mealtimes. I'm kind of a handful at mealtimes, but I will sit and wait politely if you ask, while I tremble in anticipation. The way to my heart is most definitely through my stomach.
It is hard for me to find a home because, I'm embarrassed to say, I've bitten people a couple of times. I used to get really over-excited, you see, and get a little out of control. I guess that's why I'm still here. I am on medication now, which has really made a difference in my life. Now that I'm on it, I have a lot more inner peace than I did when I was a younger dog, but it's really hard to shake that bad name. So if you want an old hound dog with a tattered reputation, I'm your guy.

I'm about 4 years old, I'm pretty mellow and would enjoy just hanging out with you and spending time with you. I have bad knees, so I can't do vigorous activities or go to the dog park, but with my calm demeanor, I'm pretty content going for an easy walk with you. I don't like being left alone, so I'd prefer to find a home with someone that can take me with them on errands, or that won't leave me home alone for extended periods of time.

I may be able to learn to enjoy the company of other dogs, but for right now, I need to be the only dog in the home.

Yes. If the new Avatar was a male, he would learn airbending at the Northern or Southern Air Temples, as Avatar Roku did. The same thing, but vice versa, with female. However, there are exceptions. Aang was to be sent away to the Eastern Air Temple to continue his training without distractions.

Here's another spot of Sunday baking.
It's a Nigel Slater recipe from his trusty bible, The Kitchen Diaries II with a little added elderflower.
I'm a real fan of Nigel Slater's style of cooking. No fuss, no overcrowding of flavours, simple ingredients and beautiful pairings.
This book is a great cookbook to have- written following the seasons, it's full of gorgeous recipes that showcase seasonal fresh ingredients.
June and July is peak season for gooseberries.
A tart and tangy berry that pairs wonderfully with sweet elderflower cordial and makes for a great tea time cake served with a dollop of creme fraiche.
My mum was invited to pick gooseberries in a friend's allotment and came back with a whole bag full of them- some of which are saved for a classic gooseberry fool or maybe a gooseberry jam to enjoy with roast pork.
The crumble layer on top of this cake gives a crisp, buttery crumbly texture in contrast to the spongy cake and tart roasted gooseberries.
I made my cake completely gluten free however I find that when recreating a crumble topping with gluten free flour- it turns to a sand-like consistency! Maybe I'll try a more oat based topping next time!
From p237-238 of The Kitchen Diaries II
To make your cake:
300g gooseberries
180g soft butter
90g golden caster sugar
90g light muscovado sugar
2 eggs
80g ground almonds
150g self-raising flour
1tsp vanilla extract
3tbsp elderflower cordial
For the crumble topping:
110g plain flour
80g butter
2tbsp caster sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a 22cm round cake tin.
2. Prepare the gooseberries by washing thoroughly and removing the tops and tails.
3. In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter and sugars with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs, vanilla and elderflower cordial.
4. Once smooth, fold the almonds and flour into the mixture with a large metal spoon.
5. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and top with an even layer of gooseberries.
6. To make the crumble topping, rub the butter into the flour in a separate mixing bowl with your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and mix. Add in a few drops of water and shake the bowl a little to form some larger pieces that will give that extra contrast in texture.
7. Scatter the crumble topping over the gooseberries.
8. Bake for about an hour until golden and the cake layer is fully baked- you can test for this by inserting a skewer into the middle of the cake and checking that it comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire cooling rack once removed from the tin. I served mine still slightly warm with a spoonful of creme fraiche.

text: Now first up guys (and gals!) - I've never been much of a runner. Fitness wise I haven't thought "I want to be fit"; I just seem to have been fortunate enough to dish out a bit of abuse and lardy food to my body, and have it still look the same! The benefit of youth?! Now I've been following the Army Fitness Plan thats on the website and the brochures, and generally - I picked Level 1 as I thought I'd be dead out of shape, but actually I'm finding it really quite a pleasant surprise. I'm in week 3 now. Sometimes, I do feel like I need a kick up the ass and someone to yell at me "Don't ******* stop now. You're doing a good job you useless sob, keep it up!". Generally, I can work through that though. Today however, I went out for my interval training - 1min run, 1min jog. I kept this up for the required 10 minutes (only did about 1.3miles - as I used the 1min jog times to recover basically - as I was trying to put my all into my 1min runs) and then proceeded to jog 0.8miles back to my house. This final jog was pretty exhausting, and for the end of it I picked a spot and tried to sprint the last 100m or so. The whole jog back took around 05:30. For the first time though, I had the sensation of wanting to vomit. Even getting on my knees so as to not make a mess. Nothing came up in the end, but my whole torso was "wretching" and tensing as if it was ready to puke. This is the first time its happened, and also - I'd say it was quiet a poor performance really. I have however, recently got over a combination of shingles, whilst having Strep A induced Tonsilitis. This was about 3 weeks ago, but I can now feel my glans feeling slightly large on my neck, and my throat feeling "prickly"! So maybe its that? On another note - I understand that in the army the act of vomiting after a training session isn't that much of a rarity. How healthy is that? Also - I understand that being part of a squad helps motivate you, but what other tips are there? Im constantly looking for ways of pushing myself that meter more - and largely the blocks seem mental. At the moment I'm clinging on to the vision of passing ADSC and going through to Phase 1! (Allowing my medicals to clear - *fingers cross*)

Let's look at the PMBOK® Guide, 5th Edition definitions first:
What is Planned Value (PV)?The authorized budget assigned to scheduled work.
What is Earned Value (EV)?The measure of work performed expressed in terms of the budget authorized for that work.
What is Actual Cost (AC)?The realized cost incurred for the work performed on an activity during a specific time period.
The above definitions are pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory, right? Well, not for most beginners. Here are the simplified definitions sourced from BrainBOK PMP and CAPM Flashcards. The keywords are underlined.
What's the difference between Planned Value (PV) and Earned Value (EV)?Planned Value is the estimated (monetary) value of the work planned to be done, whereas Earned Value is the estimated (monetary) value of the work actually done.
What's the difference between Earned Value (EV) and Actual Cost (AC)?Earned Value is the estimated (monetary) value of the work actually done, whereas Actual Cost is the amount actually incurred for the work done.
Trick to remember PV, EV and ACPV => Estimated value / work planned to be done
EV => Estimated value / work actually done
AC => Actual cost incurred
5 Sample Questions on Earned Value ManagementAs such, the concepts are pretty straight forward but when applied to exam questions, things get tricky. Most people don't have a problem in understanding Actual Cost (AC). Let's apply the above trick to sample questions.
A project team had planned to accomplish $25,000 worth of work to date. It has spent $23,000 to date, and accomplished $20,000 worth of work. What is PV, EV and AC of the project as of today?
Based on this information, what is the estimated value of the work planned to be accomplished till date? It is $25,000. This is the PV.
What is the estimated value of the work actually accomplished? $20,000. This is the EV.
What is the amount actually spent? $23,000. This is the AC.
Easy, isn't it? Not so fast. Let's consider a slightly more challenging problem.
A project has 10 work packages, each estimated to cost $100,000. The project team had estimated to complete 3 work packages at the end of three months. However, they managed to complete only 2 work packages in 3 months and spent $300,000. What is the PV, EV and AC of the project at the end of three months?
PV is the estimated value of the work packages planned to be completed in 3 month. 3 work packages were planned to be completed in 3 months. The estimated value of each work package is $100,000. Therefore, PV = 3 x $100,000 = $300,000.
EV is the estimated value of work packages actually completed. 2 work packages were actually completed and their value is 2 x $100,000 = $200,000
AC is the actual cost incurred in 3 month i.e. $300,000.
Feeling better now? Let's see how well you fare on the next one.
A project has a total budget of $100,000. Two months into the project, it has used $30,000 of its total budget to accomplish work that was estimated to cost $25,000. What is the PV, EV and AC?
What does $25,000 represent in this question? PV or EV? Apply the knowledge that you've acquired so far.
The work that was estimated to cost $25,000 has already been accomplished. So, it is our EV, not PV. Tricky, isn't it?
What is the PV? We do not have enough information in the question to determine PV for the project.
What is actually spent? $30,000. This is our AC.
Let's continue.
A project has a total budget of $100,000 and is estimated to take 10 months to complete. After 5 months, it is estimated to complete 50% of its work at the cost of 60% of its budget, but it actually accomplished only $40,000 worth of the work, and spent 50% of its budget. What is the PV, EV and AC of the project after 5 months?
What is the estimated value of work planned to be completed in 5 months? It is 60% of the budget, which is $60,000. This is the PV.
What is the estimated value of work actually completed in 5 months? It is $40,000. This is the EV.
What is actually spent? 50% of the budget i.e. 50% of $100,000, which is $50,000. This is the AC.
Getting a hang of it now? Get ready for the final showdown.
A project has 10 work packages and each work package is estimated to take 1 month to complete. The first 5 work packages are estimated to cost $12,000 each, and the next 5 $8,000 each. At the end of month 5, the first 4 work packages were completed at the cost of $48,000. What is PV, EV and AC of the project at the end of month 5?
The following table lists the PV after each month.
Month | PV ($)
1 | 12,000
2 | 24,000
3 | 36,000
4 | 48,000
5 | 60,000
6 | 68,000
7 | 76,000
8 | 84,000
9 | 92,000
10 | 100,000
The PV after month 5 is $60,000.
4 work packages were actually completed after month 5. Their estimated value is 4 x $12,000 = $48,000. This is the EV.
AC is the cost actually incurred i.e. $48,000.

Résumé :
It's been three months since a killer disease wiped out 99% of the population. Three months since the dead reanimated. The living are few and far between now, and those who are still alive stick together to give themselves the best chance of continuing to survive. One small group has established a community on an inhospitable island. A second, much larger band of refugees have made their base in a fortified castle on the coast, overlooking the ocean. When the survivors from the island unknowingly encroach on the other group's territory, tensions are immediately raised. Under siege from an army of thousands upon thousands of corpses, the survivors on the mainland launch a desperate attempt to take over the island and claim it for their own

A/N: Thanks to everyone for the wonderful reviews, I appreciate them greatly and I am very sorry for the long wait.
3. Fear
The spiking rain that had fallen like a waterfall down the windows had finally stopped. "Sam, for the last time, the answer is no."
"But, Dean," Sam said. "This is really really important. I have to go!"
"Says who?" Dean continued switching through the channels in the hope of finding something worth seeing. "You heard what Dad said."
"But that was before Tim called."
Dean turned off the television, realizing there was nothing on. "Look, Sammy. I get that you want to make friends and all, but Dad specifically told me…"
Sam wrinkled his nose. "Speci...cally?"
A smile played on Dean's lips. "Well, Dad really didn't want you to go anywhere."
Sam cut him off immediately. "But Dad doesn't have to find out."
"What?" Dean stared at his brother, knowing that those were the exact words he had muttered two years ago, when he was really supposed to stay with Sam. "No way."
Brown orbs were staring at him in accusation. "How come you can do what you want but I'm not 'lowed?"
And Dean realized just how important this seemed to be for Sam. More than wanting to be like his big brother, Sam wanted to have fun.
Dean sighed. "What exactly are you going to do then?"
Sam's eyes seemed to glow for a second. "We're gonna go see a movie, and then we're gonna eat at McDonalds." Sam looked at Dean, apparently waiting for him to say that this was the greatest thing. "Please, please can I go?"
And those puppy dog eyes were there, begging him to say yes.
How could he say no to them, when he knew he had never been able to?
"There will be someone with you, right?" Dean stared into Sam's face seriously.
His brother nodded. "Tim's Mom."
As he looked at his brother, at Sam's face that was practically shining with excitement he found that he couldn't take that piece of happiness away from him.
It was hard to believe that it had barely been an hour ago when Sam was crying, sitting on the bathtub.
"He called me a freak."
Dean was busying himself with cleaning the wound near Sam's eye, before looking at Sam. "What else did he say?" He asked harshly.
The younger boy before him lowered his eyes to the floor. "I don't remember."
"Sammy." Dean put one hand to the flushed skin of Sam's cheek. "You're no freak. You understand me?"
Tearful brown eyes blinked at him. "But…"
"What? You're going to listen to some idiot, but you won't listen to your big brother?" Dean playfully nudged Sam's side.
Sam cracked a small smile. "N-No."
"Trust me, kiddo," Dean said, as he fastened the band aid on Sam's red skin. "You've got nothing to worry about. I'm gonna take care of this."
"But what about Dad?" Sam asked, worrying his lip.
"What about him?"
"He sounded weird on the phone." Sam, stared at Dean with that expression that gave him the feeling that his eyes could penetrate his heart. "And he called early too."
"Sam, Dad's just really busy right now."
But Sam's eyes were now so bright with tears that they fell down his cheeks. "What if he's real hurt? What if he can't get home?"
"We'd know if he was hurt, Sam."
"No! He told you something and now…" Sam sniffed. "Now you won't tell me."
Catching his brother's arm before he could walk away from him, Dean turned Sam around so he could face him.
"Hey," he said. "Listen to me." Dean looked into Sam's eyes, shining with tears in a way that almost made him see himself mirrored in them. "If Dad was hurt, I would never keep it from you."
"You promise?" Sam breathed.
"Cross my heart."
"O-Okay," Sam said fingering his band aid.
"It's alright, kiddo. Dad will be okay."
"S'not alright. Dad's not here. He should be."
For a moment Dean wondered what exactly their father had told Sam, and why he had done it.
"You trust me, don't you?" Dean couldn't help asking his younger brother.
Sam nodded seriously.
"Then trust me when I say that you and me will be okay, just as Dad will be okay."
"You and me?" Sam's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, childish delight shining through.
"You and me," Dean said, following Sam's train of thought.
It only took him a second to catch up with his little brother and he tickled him mercilessly, the sound of Sam's laughter vibrating through him.
Sam seemed to be waiting for Dean to say something because his eyes never left Dean's. But Dean didn't know if he was ready to let Sam go when he'd been hurt earlier and so upset not too long ago.
Looking at his brother now though, he couldn't see anything but excitement in those large eyes.
Dean made up his mind. "If you're going anywhere, Sammy, you have to promise me something."
"Don't go anywhere on your own, and stay close to Tim and his Mom." Dean looked at his brother seriously, hoping he'd understand the importance of it.
He didn't know what he would do if something happened to Sam, and he wasn't around to protect him.
"I can do that," Sam said happily. Then he stared at Dean with a joyful expression. "Thank you! Thank you! You're the best big brother." The little figure of Sam threw himself over him.
"Well, of course I am the best big brother," Dean smirked as he hugged Sam. "Seeing as I'm your only big brother."
Sam giggled. "You're funny."
Dean rolled his eyes as Sam bounced to the phone, ignoring the feeling that told him he should make Sam stay home instead of going out.
As Natasha Harrison came with her son, Tim, Dean couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief. After what had happened earlier, Sam deserved this, this moment of happiness.
It was clear to Dean that Tim's mother was good with kids. Maybe it was the fact that she was a mother, but she was definitely smiling the moment she saw Sam.
Her gray eyes were searching Dean's eyes questioningly, as if asking if there was an adult with them.
"Hello, Sam," she greeted his brother. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah," Sam said joyfully. "Thanks for letting me come," he added politely.
"Oh, it's no problem, honey," Natasha smiled at him.
"Hold it, Tiger!" Dean stopped Sam from going any further.
"Dean, I have to go now!" Sam said, impatience clear in his voice.
"Without your shoes tied?" He raised his brows at his brother. "I don't think so." Before Sam could look down, Dean bent down and tied them.
"Have fun, kiddo," Dean laughed, ruffling his hair fondly.
Sam grinned up at him. "I will."
"Are your parents here by any chance?"
Dean stiffened slightly. This was something adults tended to ask, and the answer now came automatically. "Dad will be back soon. I'm taking car of Sammy while he's gone. So…"
"Dean!" Sam interrupted.
"Well I guess we should be on our way then," Natasha laughed quietly, as Tim and Sam raced to the car.
"I guess so," Dean smiled slightly, watching Sam shut the door of the blue Volvo.
Well, I'll drop off Sam at eight. Will that be alright?"
"It's fine."
As the door shut closed, Dean wondered how wise it was to let Sam go with two strangers, with a boy Sam had just barely befriended. But in the end he knew it was the worry for his father that made him more alert than usual, because he knew he couldn't let anything happen to the youngest Winchester.
Sam had never seen a cinema so crowded.
There were so many people. He could barely see where they were going. Mostly he could see people that were just a little older than him, but there were also those who looked like giants compared to Tim and him.
"Okay, boys, let's stick together now. There are a lot of people here, and we don't want to get lost, do we?"
They both shook their heads.
"Alright," she said, pocketing their tickets. "Who wants some popcorn?"
To Sam, the popcorn looked like solid tiny clouds coated with a sunny yellow, lying inside of that big glass box. Amazed, Sam watched as the popcorn bags with the pictures from their movie on them, were filled to the top with popcorn.
The movie they were going to see was an animated one, and Sam happily pointed out that the car on the movie poster looked just like the one his dad was driving.
"Let's go boys," Tim's mom said.
Sam liked Tim's mom.
She bought candy and popcorn for him and Tim. When they were waiting to be let inside the movie theater, she'd told them a funny story that had made Sam laugh. He silently wondered if his mother was anything like Tim's mom.
All he knew was what Dean had told him, and he knew what she looked from staring at all the pictures from that time he couldn't remember no matter how hard he tried.
Sam knew that if someone was that beautiful, they had to be some kind of angel. Sometimes he wondered if she was looking down at him from somewhere in the sky. When the stars were crying, and the rain was pouring down where he was, was that his mom being sad too?
Sam wished he knew, because he knew what it felt like to be sad too.
Even if it had been a bad dream, Sam couldn't help thinking that it had brought him closer to his mother, closer than any of Dean's stories ever could.
It made him feel less sad.
"Sam, look!" The urgency in Tim's voice made him look up.
He was pointing to the line under the big red number shaped like the number one. They were now starting to let people into the theater where the movie was about to be shown.
As they walked up to the front of the line, Tim's mom handed the ticket taker their tickets. In Sam's very own opinion, their seats had to be the best. They were right in the middle of the cinema theater, their seats higher up than all the people sitting in front of them.
The movie was about Turbo, the car, who met a boy who was lost, and suddenly they were on the greatest adventure together. When Sam saw all the cars, he wondered if Dean would have liked the movie since he was always talking about cars.
The only part that was scary was the part when a truck pushed Turbo over the other side of the highway, making it tumble down into the water.
But Turbo had secret superpowers.
"Woah," Sam whispered, when the car lifted itself out of the water due to the special wheels it had.
As the movie ended, Sam followed Tim and his mom up the stairs, but all of a sudden there were too many people coming in between Sam and his company to the cinema.
Finally, Sam made it to the top of the stairs and went through the door that everyone seemed to be walking through.
But there was no one there. It was completely empty. Sam couldn't figure out where all the other people had gone.
"Hello?" He asked.
There was no answer.
Maybe it wasn't the right door. It looked like he was now somewhere he'd never been before, but now there were too many doors that came into his line of vision. How was he supposed to know which one was the right one?
There were voices coming from the stairs. Maybe there was someone there who knew the way out.
Fear was already starting to crush his heart, but the need to get to Tim and his mom was greater.
He didn't even want to think about what his brother would say if he found out that Sam had gotten lost.
No. He was going to have to get out of this on his own. Silently he wondered how Dean could be so brave when he would confront the scary stuff.
Ignoring his shaking legs, Sam slowly made his way down the stone steps, listening for the source of sounds he'd heard.
It was only when he'd reached the bottom of the stairs that he realized that there was a dark feeling to this part of the building. It was almost like the darkness that always came when he was about to go to sleep.
Now he could hear those voices growing louder, even though they were coming from outside.
Carefully, Sam moved closer to the big door, trying to peek outside. The door was one of those cool doors made of glass and it swung open automatically, barely without a sound.
Outside the building, Sam realized he was now in the back of the building, but he also knew he wouldn't be able to find his way out of there by himself.
Through the panic that was steadily coming over him, he knew he had to ask the people standing a bit further away from him, apparently not seeing him.
What he hadn't expected to see were two big men, looking big enough to be giants. They were holding something in front of another man, who was slightly shorter.
"Give it here," one of the giants roared. "Now!"
The man standing in front of them seemed to stiffen. "Just take it easy, alright."
Sam could see something silvery glittering now. "You think we're kidding around, don't you?"
Now at the age of seven, Sam knew a lot of things.
He knew that he had to hold Dean's hand when they crossed the street, and that We'll see´often meant No´. Sam also knew, even though his dad and Dean were careful to keep it from him, they were talking about scary and dangerous things. He'd learned that if he mentioned his mom, the air would start to rip with electricity just as loud as fireworks.
But what he knew without ever really learning it, was that there were some situations which he should avoid. There were some situations that just screamed scary about them.
And this one was one of them.
It was with shock Sam saw what he now realized was a knife, cutting through the man's skin. It created pearls of dark blood on his skin, the skin that was his neck.
"P-Please…l-let's…" The man was begging now.
Sam wanted to scream, but he felt like no sound could ever come out of his mouth. It was like a big fist was stuck in his throat, making it hard to breathe.
He wanted to get out of there, to run, but now it was as if he'd become glued to the ground like a statue.
His heart was pounding in his ears, drowning out all the voices, the sound of its beats screaming inside of him.
Sam would have given anything not to be there when that red color seemed to drown the innocent man who hadn't done anything wrong.
He'd given anything not to see that silvery knife go through the man, making him fall down on the ground with a silent scream.
But most of all, Sam would have given anything not to hear that cold laughter that felt like shards of ice in his chest.
The two men seemed to be searching for something before they left him, and Sam found himself wondering what it was.
But why had they been so mad at the man? Sam knew people got mad sometimes, his dad did and sometimes Dean too.
Although, when they got mad they seemed to be able to see something in Sam that Sam himself couldn't see, and then they were okay.
If Dean had been in Sam's position though, Sam knew he would have saved the man. But he hadn't been able to, and he wondered if that made him a bad person.
Because you were supposed to help people. Everyone knew that.
Even though Sam knew he should start moving in the other direction to find Tim and his mom, Sam slowly took small steps towards the fallen man.
It took a moment for Sam to get used to the sight of him. Would he ever be able to look at the color red without seeing that dark red that was now coloring the man?
His eyes were closed. The jacket he wore was damp with a dark red now, and Sam wished he could do something, anything to help him.
But he couldn't.
"Sorry," Sam whispered sadly, in a voice that he couldn't recognize as his own.
Covering the man's chest with his own jacket, Sam hoped the man would forgive him for not being able to save him.
After he did so, Sam ran faster than he had ever done in his life. Maybe even faster than his big brother could.
Sam hadn't realized in which direction he'd gone until he tripped, falling onto the concrete. He thought he could see those men now, but he couldn't stop.
He had to keep running.
But it felt like his legs had turned into rubber now.
"Hey, kid," a deep voice roared. "Where do you think you're going?"
It was that man, the man with the knife.

"My daughter loves it - so easy to do, plenty of beads to fill all the chambers, plenty of glue. We've had an older one up in a full-sun window for over a year now and it's as bright as ever. Now we have the full set - thank you!"
