How to start dogging
Many people write into us asking how to first get into dogging. I mean if you were really confident you could just turn up to a dogging car park late and night but this is very daunting if you have never done this before. In this blog we are going to go over some of our top tips that will help you settle into a life of dogging.
Before you drive up and expect to start shagging a tone of different people in a car park, why not meet up with someone one on one and have sex in a car park or layby first. See what you think about it. You may decide that it isn't really for you but if you like it, you will know to go full steam ahead and continue dogging.
Drive past the dogging car park a few times and just glance in to see what is going on. Then if you feel confident then why not just drive in and park up. If you are a man you can just observe what is going on, however, if you are a woman then don't be surprised if you have a few men knocking on your window to try and tempt you out for a bit of dogging action. Remember, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do and you are still in your car, if you don't like it, simply drive away but if you like it, why not invite him in for a bit of pussy action.
Sitting in the car in the middle of the night can be quite chilly as you can image. Why not do dogging for the first time in the middle of the summer when you know it will be a little warmer. If you want the full dogging experience then you are probably going to want to be lying on your back on the bonnet of the car which a line of men lining up ready to pound you. That will be no fun at all in the middle of winter.
Sites like these allow people to meet some of the other people who go dogging from the comfort of their home. Why not sign up and chat to a few people who go dogging in your local area. See what they are like and ask them anything that you are unsure about. Many of the people on this site will be happy to talk to you about dogging and your first time so why not sign up today and see whom you can meet.

WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. said Friday that it did not suspect Edward J. Snowden of gaining access to computer files without authorization when he was working as a technician for the agency in Geneva in 2009, and did not send him home as a result.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Mr. Snowden's supervisor in Geneva wrote a derogatory report in his personnel file, noting a distinct change in the young man's behavior and work habits, as well as a troubling suspicion about how he was using his computer.
The Times cited two senior American officials with direct knowledge of the episode who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the continuing criminal inquiry into thousands of classified documents Mr. Snowden leaked four years later, when he was a contractor for the National Security Agency.
Asked repeatedly for comment over the past several weeks, most recently on Thursday, the C.I.A. declined. But on Friday, the C.I.A. responded with a statement, the first public acknowledgment that Mr. Snowden had worked for the agency.
"The C.I.A did not file any report on Snowden indicating that it suspected he was trying to break into classified computer files to which he did not have authorized access while he was employed at the C.I.A., nor was he returned home from an overseas assignment because of such concerns," Todd Ebitz, an agency spokesman, said in the statement.
In dispute is what Mr. Snowden did on his computer, and the agency's response to it. The two officials cited by The Times said the C.I.A. suspected Mr. Snowden was trying to gain access to classified computer files he was not authorized to view. But other officials on Friday characterized the activity as much less serious, not involving potential security violations.
It was unclear why there was a divergence of opinion.
These officials on Friday also said that Mr. Snowden left the C.I.A. of his own volition. But had he remained with the agency in Geneva, they said, Mr. Snowden faced a potentially time-consuming and critical internal inquiry prompted by his supervisor's report, an investigation that was halted once he quit the C.I.A. in 2009 to join the N.S.A. as a contract employee at a military facility in Japan.
In his statement, Mr. Ebitz did not dispute the existence of the supervisor's derogatory report or its mention of a disturbing shift in Mr. Snowden's behavior as he was preparing to leave the agency he had joined in 2006 for a new job as a contractor for the National Security Agency. He also did not dispute that the supervisor's cautionary note was not forwarded to the N.S.A. or its contractors, and surfaced only after federal investigators began scrutinizing Mr. Snowden's record once the documents began spilling out.

Fishery Management Plan and Amendments: Amendment 12
Amendment 12 – Measures to Prohibit Fishing for Krill
At its March 2006 meeting, the Council adopted a complete ban on commercial fishing for all species of krill in West Coast federal waters. They also specified essential fish habitat for krill, an action that makes it easier to work with other federal agencies to protect krill.
Krill (euphausiids) are small shrimp-like crustaceans that serve as the basis of the marine food chain. They are eaten by many species of fish managed by the Council, as well as by whales and seabirds. Although there was no fishery for krill in Council waters, krill are fished in Antarctica, Japan, and off the west coast of Canada. They are used in aquaculture and livestock feed and for fish bait and pet foods.
Because of the importance of krill to the marine food chain, the Council took action to ban krill harvest immediately, and made no provisions for future fisheries. Industry representatives on the Coastal Pelagic Species Advisory Subpanel, agreed that krill are critically important to the ecosystem but, some felt more research and scientific analysis is needed before concluding a total ban on fishing is necessary. There are currently no directed krill fisheries on the U.S. West Coast and state laws prohibit krill landings by state-licensed fishing vessels in California, Oregon, and Washington. This broader prohibition will apply to all vessels in Council managed waters and will take form as Amendment 12 to the Council's coastal pelagic species fishery management plan.
The proposal for a krill ban was first proposed by the National Marine Sanctuary Program and was extended to all Council-managed waters in recognition of the import role krill plays in the whole of the West Coast ecosystem and is representative of effective collaboration between the Council and the National Marine Sanctuary Program.
The proposal for a krill ban was first proposed for West Coast National Marine Sanctuary waters by the National Marine Sanctuary Program. Extending the prohibition to all Council-managed waters recognizes the import role krill plays in the whole of the West Coast ecosystem and is representative of effective collaboration between the Council and the National Marine Sanctuary Program.
In a letter dated October 30, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) questioned the necessity of the prohibition and returned NOAA's proposed rule implementing Amendment 12 for additional analyses. In response, NMFS Southwest Regional Office broadened the analysis of the alternatives and status quo to more clearly define the need for the prohibition and better describe the existing potential for krill harvest. Upon review of these revisions, OMB approved a proposed rule implementing Amendment 12. On May 20, 2008 NMFS published the proposed rule in the Federal Register for public comment through June 19, 2008.
On July 13, 2009, NMFS published a final rule in the Federal Register implementing the krill ban into regulation.

How We Got Rid of 70% of Our Stuff
Pro tip: All the stuff you have in your house is never going to fit on a boat.
Once the excitement of purchasing a boat wore off, reality set in. We now had to figure out how to get rid of about 70% of our belongings. And it was not easy.
Neither of us wanted to stick all of our crap in storage for an indefinite period, so that meant downsizing. Here's how we did it.
Deciding What to Keep
Downsizing was an incredibly daunting task. We had two bedrooms, tons of closets, a kitchen, living room, dining room and garage filled to the brim with STUFF. It took me several weeks to wrap my mind around this project. But, once we got started, things got way easier.
I created a downsizing game plan using Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It was a total lifesaver. I can't say that I followed all her instructions (sorry Marie!), but her approach was beyond helpful. These were my biggest takeaways:
- Clean by category, not room by room (I started with books and clothes)
- Save the sentimental stuff for last (You have to work up to this one. Start small with an easier category like kitchen stuff or junk drawers!)
- Don't hold onto things just because you feel guilty about letting them go (If you're just keeping that sweater because your Nana gave it to you seven years ago, its time to donate it. Nana will understand)
- Most of your stuff has already served its purpose (You've already read that book, played that game, and worn that shirt. They brought you joy, and now they don't. That's OK!)
I was shocked at how much I was ready to let go of. This process made downsizing infinitely easier.
Yard Sales
Once we had a handle on what we'd be getting rid of, I signed us up for a citywide yard sale. For $30, I was able to reserve a large space and a table. We borrowed a truck from Brian's brother, loaded up boxes (and boxes and boxes) of stuff at the crack of dawn, and set up shop.
It was a busy day, but we walked away with about $300. Honestly, I was expecting a bigger profit. But, in the end, I was just happy to have gotten rid of so many things. Our biggest sellers were books, DVDs (yes, DVDs lol), stationary, lamps, and décor (candles, frames, baskets, etc.). I also learned that I'm a terrible negotiator and priced everything way too low. Facepalm.
Whatever we didn't sell, we were able to donate to Goodwill on the spot. Well played, the city of Sausalito.
Nextdoor vs. Facebook Marketplace vs. Craigslist
With the exception of an end table and a couple of lamps, none of our furniture was going to fit on the boat. Which meant that we'd need to sell everything – dressers, beds, couches, tables, chairs, TVs, appliances, etc. Rather than lugging all of our furniture out onto the street for a garage sale, we decided to post our larger items on sites like Nextdoor, Facebook, and Craigslist.
- Nextdoor: I had the most success with this site. While I received fewer inquiries for each posting, the people were legit, lived nearby, and were ready to pick up whatever they were buying quickly. I also liked that the people I was dealing with felt less anonymous. As much as I try not to live my life from a place of fear, those Craigslist murder stories were always in the back of my mind. Another interesting Nextdoor plus? Virtually no one tried to negotiate on price.
- Facebook Marketplace: This board is intense, guys. I received hundreds of inquiries for almost everything I posted. I found it a little overwhelming and tough to manage. People were also a little slower to respond and often wanted to negotiate. Most of the interested buyers lived farther away, making pickups more of a challenge. That said, I sold several items through Facebook Marketplace, and like Nextdoor, I felt like I was dealing with actual people (not anonymous Craigslist users)
- Craigslist: Ah, old faithful. I've sold tons of stuff on Craigslist over the years (I've also gotten a couple of jobs through Craigslist, too), so I'm definitely not anti-Craig. That said, I did find the inquiries I received to be pretty flakey. I found this site to be most helpful when I posted a "Free Garage Sale." It worked like a charm!
In addition to whatever was left over from our yard sale, we also donated tons of clothes and shoes. I think I counted about 14 garbage bags! Goodwill makes donations super easy – we drove up to the back of the San Rafael location, unloaded our stuff, and drove off. The whole thing took less than five minutes.
We didn't write off any of our donations. You absolutely can, but we were lazy. There was so much going on that itemizing our contributions felt overwhelming. So, hopefully, we'll get some kind of karmic tax return. Or not. Whatevs.
Never underestimate the power of free stuff. Posting a "free garage sale" ad on Craiglist seemed to awaken magical elves who appeared out of nowhere to relieve us of our remaining belongings. No joke – we got rid of everything we had left in a matter of hours. I did worry that I might have been inadvertently enabling someone's hoarding addiction, though. Like, did anybody really need our marionettes? Why did we even have those in the first place?
Garbage & Recycling
After all of that cleaning, selling, and donating, we were left with a sizeable pile of junk. We did our best to re-home everything that was usable and resigned the rest to the junk pile. Thankfully, our city has a decent recycling program! We were also able to arrange a large, one-time trash pickup through our garbage service. Avoiding a trip to the dump was a really nice plus.
Getting rid of about 70% of our belongings was a huge project. And it took us a few months to get everything done. Sometimes we fought, sometimes we lost sleep. It was hard. But, I've found that all of the best things I've experienced or accomplished in life so far have involved some serious hard work and lots of growing pains. So, I shouldn't have expected this to be any different. And now, on the other side of this massive downsizing, I can say that it was 100% worth it.
You need way less of everything than you think.

Python remembers strings and numbers by assigning them to a "variable" with a relevant name. For example, a variable can be used to remember a long string:
In the example above
mynameis the variable. It has a relevant name, and no quotes
- The
=operator is used to assign a value (string or number) to the variable
- The value of a variable can be reassigning, ie. it can vary (hence variable)
Variables can also be used to store and remember numbers, and they can be used to do calculations:
Variable names
Python variables can be called almost anything you want, with the following rules:
- Python variables must not include a space or other punctuation symbols, except the underscore character _ (sometimes used to represent a space), eg. my_name
- Must not begin with a number (0-9), eg. car100 is ok, but 100car is not
- Must not be a reserved word, ie. an existing Python command, such as print.
Variable Keywords
- assignment: defining a variable with a value, using the = operator, eg. myname = "BugZoid"
- variable: a way to represent, store and remember a value

The two of them went back inside, entered the lecture hall, and took their seats. By and by the professor appeared. They both began taking notes. Sanshirō's mind was on Great Dark Void, so he set the copy of Literary Review, still open to the page, next to his notebook. When he wasn't writing notes, he was glancing discretely at the magazine. Fortunately, the professor was nearsighted. Furthermore, he was thoroughly absorbed in his own lecture and took no notice of Sanshirō's imprudence. Sanshirō enjoyed himself, note taking here and reading there. Doing the work of two men single-handedly, however, turned out to be an impossible feat. In the end, his lecture notes and Great Dark Void became jumbled in his mind. Only one line from Yojirō's writing stuck with clarity.
"How many years does nature take to form a jewel? And how many years does it sparkle in silence before fortune discovers it?" This was the line he remembered. The rest was a blur. On the other hand, he'd made it through this whole period without once writing "stray sheep" in his notes.
As soon as the lecture ended, Yojirō turned to Sanshirō and asked, "What did you think?"
When Sanshirō replied that he hadn't read it through yet, Yojirō reproached him for mis-prioritizing his time. Then he implored him to read it. Sanshirō promised he would read it at home without fail. At noon, the two of them left together through the university gate.
"I trust you're coming tonight?" Yojirō asked when they stopped at the corner in Nishikatamachi. There was a class get-together that evening. Sanshirō had forgotten about it. Finally recalling the details, he replied that he intended to go.
"Stop by my place before. There's something I want to talk to you about." Yojirō had a pen barrel propped behind his ear, and he seemed in high spirits. Sanshirō accepted his request.

Professor Jotham Santelia F.R.A.S. F.B.A. was the Regius Professor of Cosmology at the University of Gloucester. He was invited to Svalbard and later imprisoned. His dæmon had the form of a snake.
Santelia received an invite to Svalbard to become the vice-chancellor of Iofur Raknison's planned university. Later he was defamed, according to him by P. Trelawney, and the bear king imprisoned him for malice and jealously.[1]
In prison, he met Lyra Belacqua and taught her about the culture of the panserbjørne, giving her the information she needed to help Iorek Byrnison become king of Svalbard.[1]
Santelia later wrote a book about his experiences in Svalbard entitled A Prisoner of the Bears.[2]

Plastic Pollution Coalition member organization Made Safe has released a new Hazard List of the worst offenders of toxic chemicals across product categories, including what they are, where they're found, and how they impact human or environmental health, and aquatic or animal life.
The list serves as a resource to help consumers avoid toxic chemicals in the products they use everyday, from baby to personal care to household and beyond. Included in the Hazard List are bisphenols, phthalates, and PVC, which are chemicals of concern found in many plastics. These chemicals may leech from plastics and act as endocrine disruptors.
Made Safe is a nonprofit organization providing a comprehensive human health-focused certification for nontoxic products across store aisles.
Made Safe and Plastic Pollution Coalition previously collaborated on The Healthy Baby Guide available for free download here.

This striking apartment was in need of total renovation and modernization in order to create the clients' vision of a London base for their young family.
The property has been stripped of all traces of the previous occupants, while still retaining many of the original decorative elements. Structural alterations have been limited to the widening of openings and the removal of a wall in the kitchen, but a number of shower rooms were inserted into the existing layout creating a comfortable space for guests. Sound proofing was required to the floor and has been installed throughout, as has underfloor heating and limed oak.
The joinery includes a floating banquette seat in the living room finished with grey leather and a unit in the main hall which cleverly combines the storage of IT and communication equipment with decorative niches. The apartment is intended to be a playground for children and has cubby holes and places to climb hidden in many of the rooms.

Hurricane Florence roars in the Atlantic, and the weather in the Tennessee Valley region stays quiet. Sunshine broke through the clouds at times helping push the temperature back up into a hotter, more seasonable range than Monday's 74ºF in Huntsville (which was the coolest day since April 29th - 135 days ago). We see very little chance of rain in the short-term; other than some spotty here-and-there showers on Wednesday and Thursday, most of us stay dry for quite a while.
It gets hotter, too! As Hurricane Florence nears the Carolinas late this week, drier air moves in from the north. The drier it gets, the hotter it gets, so be ready for a return to the 90s soon.
See the latest information, satellite imagery and forecast track with WHNT.com's Interactive Radar or swipe over to the radar feature on Live Alert 19!
Look at this incredible close-up view of Florence's eye on Tuesday afternoon as the winds increased following an eye wall replacement cycle:
Short-term showers: A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Wednesday, but we do not expect widespread, heavy soaking rainfall. Isolated spots may get 0.10" to 0.25" of rain; most of us get nothing at all for the rest of this week.
Thursday's rain chance is meager: 10%. We'll be back in the 90s on Thursday, and that starts a streak of 90-degree heat that likely lasts through the middle of next week unless the effects of Hurricane Florence become a little greater toward Sunday and Monday.
This weekend's forecast has some 'baked-in' uncertainty because of the far-reaching effects of Hurricane Florence. By Saturday and Sunday, Florence will have weakened to a Tropical Storm or Depression over/near land. The storm will still be swirling, still be spreading clouds and rain, and still be a big regional weather influence.
Photo Gallery
Florence's exact position over the weekend and early next week will control whether we are in the sunny, hot, dry conditions or under a canopy of clouds with a chance of some showers. Either way, at this point we do not expect widespread heavy rainfall from Florence, but we do see potential to catch some shade from the clouds and see a few scattered showers (especially over Northeast Alabama) by Sunday and Monday.

Sheppard and Worlock
Bishop David Sheppard (Anglican Bishop of Liverpool 1975-1997), and Archbishop Derek Worlock (Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool 1976-1996), together with Free Church leaders, worked together as advocates for communities and acted as 'honest brokers' in Liverpool between 1975 and 1996. Over two decades they provided an ear and a voice for a city, which, at different stages of the period, suffered from unemployment, inequality, poverty, sectarian division, tragedy, social unrest and political instability. They gave encouragement to their clergy, the laity and communities as they all faced a challenging time together.
As an excellent introduction we suggest you read 'A Holy Alliance' by Andro Linklater. Also available to download here. Reproduced by kind permission of Andro Linklater and Hearst Magazines. Photographs by kind permission Liverpool Daily Post and Echo and Jason Shenai.

Sheppard and Worlock were not well acquainted when they arrived within a year of each other in 1975 and 1976. However they had both served at inner city parishes in the East End of London in the mid sixties and on one occasion did meet - spending a long conversation discovering much common ground. In 1975, before Derek Worlock's appointment had been announced, David Sheppard, having just arrived as the new Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, was invited to dinner by the Papal Nuncio who quizzed him for an hour about the pastoral needs and priorities of the city. Worlock was duly appointed as the city's Catholic Archbishop and it is said that Pope Paul VI gave him a double mandate, 'to work with the poor and unemployed, and to prevent Liverpool becoming another Belfast'
In the 1981 Toxteth riots, Sheppard and Worlock stepped in to mediate between the community and police and eventually helped to establish the Liverpool 8 Law Centre. Through the Church Leaders Group in Liverpool, they became involved in key industrial disputes of the time, working tirelessly to build a bridge between conflicting parties, while their membership of the Merseyside Enterprise Forum, led them to set up 'The Michaelmas Group', a group of business and industry leaders who met monthly to explore ways of regenerating the city.
It was not just a cosy Catholic-Anglican club. The Church Leaders Group also included Dr John Newton, Methodist superintendent, John Williamson of the United Reformed Church, the Baptist Trevor Hubbard and Col Lily Farrar of the Salvation Army. The two bishops were always at pains to include their Free Church colleagues, in spite of the media often overlooking the full extent of the partnership, even to the point of insisting that the Methodist leader John Newton stand between them for photocalls since the press would otherwise routinely crop him out.
Through the imperative of addressing social issues together, they dedicated themselves to building an effective working relationship. This, and the role of Grace Sheppard, produced a strong friendship and mutual trust between the two bishops. Their faith in ordinary people and the laity encouraged the development of faith-based grassroots community action.
In the context of this visible partnership the longstanding sectarian divisions quickly receded, and in the wider society the churches' role was perceived as relevant and welcomed. Whilst always remaining respectful of each other's distinctive beliefs and traditions, in the challenge of working side by side they discovered that there was more to unite them than to divide them.
Over a 20 year period, they built bridges between polarised groups and viewpoints, inspiring both Government confidence during Liverpool's political isolation and deep affection from the public they supported and represented during the sequence of events which dominated the city's darkest days. During the period when the Militant Tendency was in the ascendancy they refused to take sides: at various points they were branded traitors by the Left and as 'statist' by the Right.
Throughout it all, they faced issues together as both public figures and friends, walking the streets side by side with the leaders of other Christian denominations, meeting and speaking regularly, and sharing their common faith.
The historic visit of John Paul II to Liverpool in 1982 will remain one of the most significant moments, especially the moving service of reconciliation in Liverpool's Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral and the ecumenical service in LIverpool Cathedral at which Pope John Paul II was applauded all the way up the aisle. "The applause which greeted the Holy Father," said Cardinal Hume, "remains with me as the most earnest and insistent prayer for Christian unity that I have ever heard."
In 1989 the Hillsborough disaster challenged Liverpool in the extreme. The day after the disaster there was a Requiem Mass held at the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral and a week later a memorial service at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, each packed with thousands of mourners. The two bishops and their clergy provided pastoral support to the bereaved and defended a hurt city in shock and under siege from a hostile press. A year on they were invited to take part in a televised remembrance service at Anfield, and over the ensuing years they sustained a consistent commitment behind the scenes as the families pursued their quest for justice.
Sheppard and Worlock jointly published three books, Better Together (1988) and With Christ in the Wilderness (1990) and With Hope in Our Hearts (1994). In January 1994, the two bishops were jointly awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool and in 2008 the Sheppard Worlock Monument in the form of two bronze doors was unveiled to honour their work. Funded by public donations, the memorial is situated halfway down Liverpool's famous Hope Street, which joins both the Roman Catholic and Anglican cathedrals.
Together they found a distinctive Merseyside voice in addressing the social problems of the Thatcher era, of whose individualist ethos they were sharply critical. In Liverpool they kept alive the (at the time outdated) notions such as common good and community. They refused to believe that the weakest or the unemployed should go to the wall.
In listening to the needs of the city the two bishops saw that they should collaborate and speak as one Christian voice. Their principle was "Do everything together, except the things which conscience forces us to do apart".

The Stormlight Archive is an epic fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. The series is expected to be comprised of 10 books, in keeping with the series' symmetrical focus in combinations of ten.
Books in the SeriesEdit
The series is estimated to require 10 books to complete, in two 5-book arcs. The first book in the series, The Way of Kings, was published in 2010. A Fall 2013 release was planned for its sequel, but was then postponed to March 4, 2014.
The second book was initially titled Highprince of War (referring to Highprince Dalinar), but the title was changed after Brandon decided to change the book's focus to Shallan. The working title was then The Book of Endless Pages, but that title was later changed after Sanderson was asked if he really wanted a large fantasy novel titled as such. Sanderson then changed it to Words of Radiance, which became the novel's actual title.
While not a full novel, Brandon also wrote a novella focusing on Lift, who previously appeared in a Words of Radiance interlude. Brandon first included the story within Arcanum Unbounded, an anthology of cosmere short stories, but later published the novella as its own book.[1] The separate book also includes the interlude from Words of Radiance.[2] The novella is titled Edgedancer, and Brandon has recommended on many occasions to read Edgedancer before reading the third book (i.e., Oathbringer) in The Stormlight Archive, as it contains an important plot point and adds a new dimension to the next story.[3]
The third book was originally to focus on Szeth and was tentatively titled, Stones Unhallowed, previously thought - though incorrectly - to have been changed to Skybreaker.[4] However, the third book in the series is now focused on Dalinar, and is titled Oathbringer.
Originally, it was tweeted that the fourth book might focus on Eshonai, though that focus at the time remained unconfirmed[5] until the following update here.
The fifth book, therefore, will focus on Szeth, with the previously referenced working title for Szeth intact ... until or unless it changes.[6]
|1st Edition
|The Way of Kings
|August 31, 2010
|Focus on Kaladin.
|Words of Radiance
|March 4, 2014
|Focus on Shallan.
|October 17, 2017

|November 14, 2017

|Stones Unhallowed
|Focus on Szeth.
|Focus on Renarin; unconfirmed.
|Focus on Lift; unconfirmed.
|Focus on Jasnah; unconfirmed.
|Focus on Shalash; unconfirmed.
|Focus on Taln
Major CharactersEdit
Brandon has revealed that each of the 10 books in the series will have a focal character who gets flashbacks.[7] Brandon listed the 10 major viewpoint characters for the series to be:[8]
- Kaladin, featured in The Way of Kings
- Shallan, featured in Words of Radiance
- Dalinar, featured in Oathbringer
- Eshonai
- Szeth, featured in Stones Unhallowed
- Renarin
- Lift
- Jasnah
- Shalash
- Taln
Given that Brandon 'tweeted' that Eshonai might be the focal character in book four, this list of major characters has changed since first comprised.[9]
Q&A with BrandonEdit
Q: One thing I've noticed around the release of Words of Radiance was you pointing out that The Stormlight Archive is really two series of 5 books each. Was that something you wanted to make clear so as not to be daunting to perspective readers or just more about how the story has developed since you began?
A: It's a mixture of both, honestly. I do want to be wary of not being too daunting to readers who are jumping into this thing and have been reading The Wheel of Time. They might think, "The Wheel of Time was 'promised' to be six books and it ended up at fourteen. If you promise six, how long is this one going to be?"
But it's also because I want to start preparing readers for the break that's going to happen at book five. I'm going to stop writing the series for a few years, and then the "back five" (as I'm calling it) will focus on some different characters than the front five. So I have a lot of good reasons to be preparing people for what's going to happen there. Our expectations are a very big part of our enjoyment of all different kinds of entertainment mediums.[10]
Q: Concerning everything on Roshar, is it safe to say The Stormlight Archive will become the backbone series of the story of the cosmere?
A: There are three backbone series: Dragonsteel, Mistborn, and The Stormlight Archive. And Mistborn is past, present, future ... Stormlight is the center, and Dragonsteel is the beginning. So really it goes: Dragonsteel, Mistborn, Stormlight, Mistborn, Stormlight, Mistborn.
Q: Is "Stormlight Archive" reference to any in-world or in-cosmere place or item?
A: No, it's just an archive of ten books which all have titles based on in-world books, but no Archive or something like that on world.[11]

Debbie Van Der Veen (Dip. Couns, ICTHt)
I have worked for many years in industry and became very aware of stress in the workplace and how this impacts people's wellbeing. This work led me to explore why people develop such problems as anxiety, depression, low self esteem and generally feelings of hopelessness. I looked at causes and triggers and how people could be helped.
I decided to specialise in the therapeutic side of my role and after completing a certificate in counselling in 2015 I then further qualified with a Level 5 Diploma in Integrative Counselling with the British Association of Counselling (BACP). Integrative counselling means that the style of counselling is tailored to the individual and their personal circumstances, and so there is no single approach that can treat each client in all situations.
I have had experience with working with a variety of problems such as anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship and family problems, anger, health issues, bereavement and loss, rejection and trauma.
I have had experience of working with young adults at a local college and also working in a hospice where I have helped clients who may be carers, patients or may be struggling with bereavement.
A Fee of £35 is charged for each 50 minute session of one to one counselling.

Hey everyone! So today, February 2nd, 2015, marks the 3 year anniversary of Raw & Instant! It's crazy how fast time flies, it really does not feel like I have been doing this for 3 years haha. Anyways, this is still just the beginning! I truly feel like I have grown over the years since I first started. I learned a lot of new things, got a lot of new (old) gear, learned how to pay closer attention to things, and met a lot of new faces. But there is so much more to discover and learn, so I'm not stopping here. Raw & Instant is my dedication, since its inception, and I don't intend to slow down.
To be honest, it is very hard on me to continue doing this, specifically financially, but I still do it anyway. Shooting exclusively with instant film, is not very easy on my wallet. And due to that, I can't shoot very much throughout the year, even though I strive to and I have the talent lined up and waiting for their opportunities to work together. And that is the only downside to this operation. But that doesn't bring me down at all. Money should not be an issue if it is being used by anyone who loves what they are doing. That free t-shirt giveaway the other day? That cost me about $300 out of my own pocket, just to show the love and appreciation I have towards you guys, the people who support me, my work, and what I am doing as a whole. Bottom line is, as long as I get to shoot, no matter how long it takes or how much film I use up, I'm a happy person. No matter how many free shirts I gave away, I wouldn't have cared if it cost me a penny more, because I know that it was all for good reason.
So I just want to say thanks guys. Thank you for being there for me. Doesn't matter if you have been there with me from the start, from the middle, or you have just recently discovered my work, I appreciate you all equally. To all my models, thank you for giving me a chance to show you in the raw, and thank you more for stepping up to that challenge. Raw & Instant will continue to serve as my outlet to exhibit pure, raw female beauty in its most realistic photographic form possible.

"Ascending body weight Pyramid"
This workout involves hill runs, a park bench, your own body weight and a load of determination.
My Friday group loved this workout so much last week, I had to share it with you :)
Complete a 5 min light jog to warm up!
On a park bench close to a decent hill or flat run distance run (approx 700m away and back) complete the following -
10 x Incline or decline pushup off the bench
20 x lunges (10 static each leg or 20 split jump lunges on the ground)
30 x Squats or squats jumps on the ground or you could do box jumps onto the bench if safe to do so (check the bench for stability before taking this option)
40 x Tricep dips (bent or straight legs)
50 x Calf raises off the gutter or bench
700m flat or hill run back to the bench
4 rounds in total!! Boom! Enjoy!

A not in the mood for this Kanye West was pissed when he saw paparazzi in his diveway at 4 a.m. on Friday when he walked outside. Kanye and Kim were apparently headed for the airport which is normally where they get greeted by camera men but not this time. Apparently because Kanye is facing charges from his last run-in with the papz his lawyer told him not to fly out of LAX airport to avoid these type of situations so the two were taking a private jet. Unbeknownst to Yeezy the papz were determined to get a story from Ye so they met him at his doorstep.
As soon as Kanye walked outside the papz began to hound him with camera flashes and questions.
Papz: How's it going Kanye?
Kanye: Don't say anything to me, man. Stop asking me questions. You out in front of my house at 4 am, talking 'bout how's it going. It's not going good. Y'all out here trying to make money off us. That's how it's going. It's 4 am. It's 4am and you ask me how it's going. You know I don't want you to say nothing to me. You hear what I'm saying? Respect that."
Papz: Relax.
Kanye: What you mean relax? What you mean relax?
As Kanye walks back to his car he says, "I'ma change all this."
When the Papz continued to be persistent on getting some info out of Kanye, the rapper yelled:
Shut the fu-k up. It's 4am, you blood-sucking mosquito. You want me to be standing out in front of your house at 4am? Pick a profession with some type of respect to it.
Kim was spotted quickly hopping into the vehicle.

Job creation in September remained on the thin side, and mortgage rates are still safely in the fives – 5.75 percent on the lowest-fee 30-year deals.
Payrolls grew by only 96,000 last month, and half of that total comprised low-octane hires by government. Other data were similarly tepid, and the Fed has given its first hint that it may pause after the next couple of .25 percent hikes in the Fed funds rate.

Infertility: The Toughest Battle Ever Fought
"When we entered the Los Angeles terminal, I immediately kissed the ground, overjoyed to be back in the USA at last. My husband, Bob, and I were just back from an incredibly challenging two-and-a-half-year Navy tour in the Philippines. The images were already beginning to fade: thatched roofed nipa huts dotting the countryside, water-soaked rice fields juxtaposed against the rugged mountains, and small-framed men in cone hats commandeering massive water buffalo. Although the Filipinos were friendly and their country visually beautiful, our years there were some of the most difficult I endured during our infertility treatment.
"When we entered the Los Angeles terminal, I immediately kissed the ground, overjoyed to be back in the USA at last. My husband, Bob, and I were just back from an incredibly challenging two-and-a-half-year Navy tour in the Philippines. The images were already beginning to fade: thatched roofed nipa huts dotting the countryside, water-soaked rice fields juxtaposed against the rugged mountains, and small-framed men in cone hats commandeering massive water buffalo. Although the Filipinos were friendly and their country visually beautiful, our years there were some of the most difficult I endured during our infertility treatment.
These two paragraphs are the opening of the book Detours: Unexpected Journeys of Hope Conceived from Infertility, of which I am the Anthologist and Co-author. I compiled this book along with my husband and nine other women whom I met through the RESOLVE infertility support group of San Diego during the most difficult years of our infertility journey.
My husband, a surface warfare officer, and I were stationed in San Diego off and on throughout his 26 years of serving in the U.S. Navy. We endured 14 moves during the first 12 years of our marriage. It was hard to move so many times. Being plucked away from friends, family, and my teaching position was difficult. But what was even harder than leaving my loved ones and my career was leaving my Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). Every time we moved, I had to start treatment all over again. Every new RE wanted to do another diagnostic laparoscopy. I had so many laparoscopic surgeries performed by so many different doctors that my belly button looks like a wagon wheel.
Throughout my husband's naval career, we were separated for months at a time. He was gone so much that I actually forgot what he looked like. This was before Skype and email. Communication between Navy couples was so limited back then. There is an inside joke among Navy couples. "The Navy guarantees a happy marriage at least HALF the time." If you love your spouse and want them home, they are home about HALF the time. If you're not getting along and want them gone, they are gone about HALF the time. So… "A guaranteed happy marriage at least half the time." We endured 7 deployments as well as all the days, weeks, and months of separation leading up to those seven deployments. In the first 14 years of our marriage, he was gone over 7 years total.
Yet… the time separated from my husband pales by the comparison to not being able to have a baby. All I had was his frozen sperm and our frozen embryos to keep me company while trying to conceive.
We survived an extremely difficult overseas tour in the Philippines. During our time in the PI, I experienced one crisis after another. I was diagnosed with a rare hip disease in my early 30's and had to have numerous surgeries to save my hip. The orthopedic doctor at the base hospital, incredibly named "Jungle General," had to perform two surgeries to help me manage the pain until I could return to the United States and have a hip replacement. To this day, I walk with a slight limp and I have a handicapped placard for my car.
My beloved mother was stricken with breast cancer about a year into our tour of duty in the Philippines. I was so close to my mom and longed to be by her side. The distance was too great and the Navy wouldn't fly us home for a cancer diagnosis. This was the first time anyone in our family has suffered from cancer. Oh how I wished I could be there for her in her time of need. She eventually passed away from cancer about 6 years later.
But by far, the worst tragedy while living in the PI was the day my parents called me to tell me that I had lost my older brother. Don was a rugged outdoorsman and had been hunting for mountain goat in British Columbia when he accidentally slipped and fell off a rocky mountain ledge. My world stood still. Before I knew it, the Navy whisked us back to the United States so I could attend my brother's funeral.
During the two-and-a-half-years in the Philippines, I felt like my family and I were under siege as one tragedy after another befell upon us, but the final heartbreak was… I never did get pregnant.
Fast forward… to the present. Obviously, I am a bit older now… 59 years old to be exact. My husband retired from the Navy at the rank of Captain on August 1, 2000. He always jokes that if he retired as a Captain, then I retired as an Admiral because I always out-rank him. That always gives me a chuckle.
But truly, the ups and downs in my life have seasoned me. When faced with adversity, I've learned to turn my trials into triumphs. When I look back on our infertility journey and our military life together, I can honestly say that it takes the strength and courage of a warrior to combat infertility. Of all the challenges I've described and the numerous others I've endured in nearly 6 decades of life, infertility was by far the most difficult. Infertility is balancing scale I use to measure all my trials in life… none of which compare.
In retrospect, I'm really not sure where I found the strength to continue trying to conceive, but I never gave up on my dream to become a mother. It must have been God that helped carry me through. After 10 surgeries, 15 IUI's, 4 IVFs, 2 IVF/ZIFT combination transfers, and over 40 embryos, I finally overcame my unexplained infertility and delivered my "miracle baby" on May 1, 1994.
Even though it still affects me to this day, my perspective on infertility, now that it is behind me, has changed. I can look at it through a different lens. I have embraced the blessings of having an only child, although I wanted to have several children. My son and I are so close and we talk about everything. He is soon to graduate from the University of Michigan with a degree in Earth and Environmental Science. He often quips that the reason he loves science so much is because his life began as a "science experiment" in a petri dish.
Infertility used to frighten me, but now it empowers me! This is why I wanted to share my story… and the stories of my RESOLVE sisters in our book. It was our decade-long battle that motivated me to publish Detours so that we could inspire hope for those who are in the thick of their battles today. And it is most appropriate that I titled my chapter, "Never Tell a Navy Wife to Abandon Ship," because I never gave up on trying to have a baby.
My son is one week shy of 23 as I write this blog post. I still pinch myself whenever I see him and I will never take motherhood for granted. It was indeed the toughest battle of our lives to date, but having him as our son was truly worth the fight.

Every 51 minutes, substitute person dies in an alcohol-related traffic collision. In 2012 alone, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents, accounting for approximately one-third of all fatalities.
You can find more drunk driving statistics on the Mothers neighboring Drunk Driving (MADD) website here.
Drunk Driving Prevention In America
In the slant of these staggering numbers, what are governmental agencies and private campaigns acquit yourself to educate American drivers very nearly drunk driving? This article will come up with the money for a survey of the most widely-publicized anti-impaired driving campaigns, and an analysis of their real-world effects.
Buzzed Driving
In the last few years, weve seen numerous ad campaigns, initiated both by state-funded organizations and private immersion groups, advocating for widespread confession of something called buzzed driving. so what is it?
Buzzed driving is a certainly simple concept. After ingestion, alcohol is absorbed rapidly by the bloodstream and common tests, gone a breathalyzer, can produce a result the amount of alcohol in your blood reliably and quickly. Driving subsequently a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08 or unconventional is illegal in every state. At that concentration, drivers nearly invariably experience sedation and slower admission times. In further words, its simply risky to steer gone that much alcohol in your system.
Buzzed driving is comprehensibly having a BAC demean than 0.08% but sophisticated than 0.00%.
One Beer Wont amend The exaggeration I Drive
And significant studies have found that less is no better. One version from UC San Diego that evaluated accident reports found that buzzed drivers, those with a BAC of 0.01 percent are 46 percent more likely to be officially and solely to blame than temperate drivers. The fact is that driving even slightly buzzed is dangerous, far-off more risky than driving sober.
The real trouble is that American show and public policy tend to see on 0.08% as a definitive, meaningful boundary. below that lineage and youre relatively safe, above it youre dangerous. But the researchers at UC San Diego found that the chances of causing a wreck increases steadily and adroitly from BAC 0.01 to 0.24 percent, meaning that there is no quick transition later than comparing a buzzed driver to a drunk driver. It turns out that 0.08% is not a definitive boundary, and that no amount of alcohol is secure in the resolution analysis.
The checking account from UC San Diego was published in the British medical journal slur Prevention. You can admittance a summary here.
The Worlds Stance upon Drunk Driving
Much of the world has even more rigorous limits.
China has a legal limit of 0.02%
Japan uses 0.03%
Frances true limit is 0.05%
Germanys is 0.05%
Sweden uses 0.02%
Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia all have zero-tolerance policies; any BAC above 0.00% and youll lose your license, be penalized subsequently sharp fines, and your car can be impounded.
In fact, North America (including Canada and Mexico) is one of the worlds on your own regions to use 0.08% BAC as its authentic limit.
Has The stir up opinion Worked?
The Ad Council, Americas largest non-profit producer of public advance announcements, spearheaded the Buzzed Driving awareness campaign. upon their website, they tab that their ads reached nearly one half of all American adults on top of the age of 21. And that there was a significant growth in the proportion of men age 21 35 who called themselves extremely concerned approximately the situation of drunk driving, from 22 percent in 2005 to 27 percent in 2011.
And while public attentiveness is unquestionably important, Americas legislators have nevertheless to answer to our new accord of buzzed driving. In fact, once most confess governments dispatch to zero tolerance, they either limit this prohibition to drivers below 21 or aspire helpfully that they wont tolerate any driver in the same way as a BAC more than 0.08%.
Only become old will say whether or not welcome governments follow through upon the current research. back up in 2013, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended lowering Americas authentic limit to 0.05%, but no own up has nevertheless to take in hand this stricter limit.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Another reaction has been to contextualize drunk driving, to define it in terms of option tragic condition. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states: drunk driving is often a symptom of a larger problem: alcohol exploitation and abuse. The underlying premise to this shake up is that some drunk drivers operate vehicles even though impaired because (in so many words) they cant back it. And if you acquire substance dependent persons treatment, you might take some impaired drivers off the road in the thesame gesture.
Also telling is that the NHTSA refers to impaired driving, rather than drunk driving. In heritage as soon as recent developments in addiction studies, the NHTSA has adopted the scientific convention that finds more bank account than contrast surrounded by alcohol abuse and drug addiction in general.
This heritage of reasoning seems bolstered by statistical evidence. In a psychiatry released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, researchers found that almost half of every drivers who were killed in crashes and tested certain for drugs along with had alcohol in their system. In many cases, then, the misery is mixed. And the answer might be, too.

What do you do when the superstar spokesperson of your healthy beverage brand goes into a media blackout period, all because they're doing the Super Bowl Pepsi Halftime Show right before you need to launch a major campaign? First, you have him leave little fruit focused clues on his Instagram. Then you take that popular post about braspberries and use it as the focus of your national TV spot and support it with digital assets. And of course you cap it all off by actually creating a brand new braspberry flavor.

The Spot
Influencer and Press Mailer
