"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." – Confucius
The best way to waste a life, I have found, is by trying really hard to please everyone. This is how I have been living the last 19 years of my life. Ever since I was 7 years old I strived to please everyone: my teachers, my grandmother, my peers, my bosses, my Facebook friends (who, really, are not real friends). In this quest of trying to please others I not only wasted my life, but I lost who I am, or was, for that matter.
The reason I am writing this post is because I always wanted to write in some capacity. However, before I could ever begin I would be beaten down by thoughts of rejection. It was a bad psychic experience. The moment my fingers made contact with the board, I would hear my college boyfriend telling me to not even think about being a writer. Darkened memories of his voice would fill my head, "I cannot read this! There is no flow, and the grammar is horrible. Let me see the assignment so I can fix this for you," dubbed over by, "No, a memory isn't a special place, write about a physical place, if you have too, make something up." After the voices ended, My old English professor's face would flash in front of my eyes. He would be looking down at me, his smug eyes filled with delight from ripping apart my abstract in front of the class. My fingers would jump off the keys in an attempt to break connection with the haunted object.
Unlike most days where I would quit right there and move onto watching Netflix, today I decided to take a break and come back, to give this writing thing a second chance. I headed into my kitchen to grab a soda. Once I entered the kitchen I saw my dog Sophie playing. I've seen her playing hundreds of times. But this time was unique. As I watched her hurl her face, tongue out, mouth gapping open, I realized that she did not give a shit. She did not give a shit about her appearance. She did not give a shit about what I thought about her. All she cared about was that moment, the air under her feet, the moisture dripping off her tongue, the excitement of tearing into a rubber bone, all that mattered was her and the fun that she was having. This is the moment a dog taught me a lesson. All that should matter is that I be authentic. If I could accept myself and my flaws I could let go. I could write. Yes, I probably would suck and my grammar would probably be shit. But I would be writing, I would be expressing, I would be having fun.

Chapter 2
"I need to head out to Kansas for a day or two," Dean said as they walked back to the car. He'd been quieter, lately, less apt to flirt with waitresses or strike up an aimless conversation about anything other than hunting as Halloween approached. Not even this particular werewolf hunt could do much to raise the man's spirits. "No hunt or anything, just something I need to do. You in?"
Bobby knew better than to ask. Dean had spilled the bare bones of his story a few weeks after they'd started traveling together, while under the influence of tequila and blood loss, but there was no chance he'd share something personal when sober. And this? Most definitely personal. "Where in Kansas? Do they even have a library, or am I supposed to just sit around like a jilted girlfriend while you run around?"
Dean smiled, a little subdued but there. "Better. Lawrence, Kansas, home to the Stull Cemetery, thought to be a gateway to Hell. Thought you might be interested."
The thought gave the young hunter pause. He'd heard rumors about gateways, but he'd never been this close to one, and Bobby was suddenly itching to dive into the lore surrounding the place. "Kansas sounds good. Can't believe you knew where the door to hell was and didn't tell me."
"A rumored door," Dean corrected. "I'm saving the next one for your birthday."
Bobby had a feeling he wasn't joking.
Lawrence hadn't changed much in the past six months, which didn't really surprise Dean: same skeevy motel with the drug-dealing manager, same two-lane Main Street, and the same sleepy residential streets, which was oddly comforting to him. He dropped Bobby off at the motel and headed past the Campbell house. He didn't go in, though part of him wanted to, and instead drove to the house where he spent the first four years of his life, starting a little more than five years from now.
The Winchester name was on the mailbox, which was a good start. The lawn was freshly mown, downstairs lights on. He sat in his car about fifty yards from the house, watching as John swung the Impala into a place in front of a white picket fence and headed in. The lights on the first floor went off around ten; the bedroom light upstairs extinguished by midnight, and Dean still waited, keeping guard over the clapboard house and its occupants as November 1, 1973 ticked over into November 2.
He was still there when dawn turned the sky pink, a little surprised that no one had called the police about the man lurking in the shadows. Mary and John left for work together, and Dean spent several agonizing moments before he swung back around to tail his mother. He knew where he could find John, but he had no memories of Mary working outside the home.
Oddly enough, she walked the two blocks down from the garage and led him to the diner where he had run into John six months ago, tying back her hair and donning an apron before hitting the floor as the second shift waitress.
Dean followed her inside after a few minutes, sat down at the counter and waited. It didn't take long.
"You can't be here," Mary hissed, under the guise of taking his order. "I told you I was done with hunting."
"I'm not hunting anything but a good cup of coffee right now," he said, keeping his voice quiet and pleasant. "A cup of coffee and the special, if you don't mind."
"Promise?" She poured his coffee, still studying him.
"Promise. Got a friend who wanted to investigate the Stull Cemetery, figured I could use the time to do some research of my own." This part wasn't entirely untrue; he could use some time away from Bobby to work on his future hunt journal. It would be nice if he could do more hunts like the wendigo and prevent the deaths that had originally attracted him, but he had no idea how to explain that to Bobby. The man already looked at him strangely when he pulled out one of those hunts.
Dean wondered what the other man would think if he ever saw the back pages of the journal, where he'd jotted down a few other things he'd thought would be useful, like investing in Microsoft and preventing certain manmade disasters. His father had always taught him to be prepared for anything, and he aimed to take that to heart.
"All right." Mary smiled a bright sunshine smile, the relief obvious on her face and in her voice. "You should drop by and visit my parents. My dad had some things he wanted to ask you."
Dean shrugged. "We'll see." He wasn't planning on visiting the grandparents who didn't know they were grandparents. Too many of the wrong questions, for one, and the entire situation was just a little too strange for even him. As much as he wanted to get to know Samuel and Deanna Campbell, the idea of being shot, salted and burned if he let something slip was a fairly powerful deterrent.
Mary headed back into the kitchen with his order, and Dean settled down with his coffee and journal. The cases his father worked were infuriatingly vague in his memories, and the same went for most of the hunts until he was in his 20's. He just hadn't been involved enough for the details to stick.
He ate his breakfast when Mary brought it, then dove back into the project, hardly noticing as she kept refilling his coffee. She didn't try to start any new conversations, and if the young woman noticed that he would look up and search the room for her with regularity she didn't comment on it.
When the lunch crowd started to roll in, Dean packed it up and headed back toward the garage to check in on John. He knew, academically, that nothing would be coming after them now. He'd taken out the yellow-eyed demon before it could make any more deals and as far as he could tell no one had stepped up to take Azazel's place. To the world they were just another set of newlyweds, and Dean aimed to make sure it stayed that way. Mary was perfectly capable of handling anything that the supernatural threw her way, and she could always call her parents for backup.
But still he stayed and watched over them. November 2nd had always been a private day for his family, made almost holy by his father's devotion, and it was hard to break a lifetime habit of keeping a close key on the man when the date rolled around.
Dean had made himself comfortable on a bench across from John's garage, journal tucked away in his car, when a young black woman with a serious Afro sat down next to him. She was cute and curvy and when she smiled he could tell that she was probably a little fiery, which made her precisely his type.
"My name's Missouri," she said.
His thoughts changed direction so fast he was surprised that he hadn't left tire tracks. Dean forced himself into some semblance of order and said, "Any particular reason you're talking to me?"
"Any particular reason a hunter is hanging around my town at two in the afternoon?"
"It's personal," he said, and deliberately didn't think about anything other than the sight of the Impala, gleaming in its parking space behind the garage.
Missouri hmmphed and made herself comfortable next to him. "There's something different about you," she said. "Like you're much older than you look, but whenever I try to get a little more all I see is this bright light."
"You might want to be careful," he cautioned. "Last psychic that tried too hard got her eyes burned out by that."
"Why would you do such a thing?" she said, indignant.
"I wasn't the one that did it, and trust me when I say that I was pissed off when it happened. But it's something that can't be controlled and that no human eyes should see." Her presence unsettled him, and he decided to drive her off with what Sam used to call the anti-charm. "Hate for a hot piece of ass like you to have her eyeballs melted out of the sockets."
"There's no need for that," Missouri said, her calm mostly restored. He must have let something slip. "I was getting ready to leave. I was just curious, is all. Never seen an aura like yours before."
"I'm pretty unique, sweetheart." He turned away from he and back to the garage. The young woman eventually stood up and walked away, leaving Dean to his vigil.
He didn't have very much time to enjoy his solitude. No sooner had Missouri disappeared around a corner than Castiel was suddenly sitting in her place. The angel was silent for a long time while the hunter watched his father change oil and tires and dig into an engine block, and it wasn't until Dean turned to look at him that he spoke.
"Your parents are protected now. You don't have to watch over them."
"I need to do it, Cas. I need to make November 2nd good again, and this is the only way I can think of to do it." He leaned forward, resting his forearms on his legs. "Don't worry, I'll get back to hunting tomorrow. You guys have the management skills of a plantation overseer."
"That's not what concerns me, Dean. This place causes you distress, even though you managed to stop the deal that would cause your mother's death. Why come to Lawrence if it causes you pain?"
"Call it a pilgrimage," Dean finally said, avoiding the topic of a deal. That was something for another day. "My mother died in that house. The man who my father used to be pretty much died too, even if no one remembers it. This is my version of Graceland."
"What's Graceland?"
Dean shook his head. "Don't worry about it. Point is, this is the town where my life as a hunter began. I need to come back and remember sometimes, and watching over John and Mary Winchester gives me something to focus on."
Castiel tilted his head slightly in a gesture that Dean interpreted as a nod. Really, angels should understand the concept of a pilgrimage. "And the rest of the time you will continue to hunt with your friend Robert Singer?"
"Yeah. Like you said, all those people that we saved before are back where they were, and someone has to take care of it." Dean watched as John clocked out and climbed into the Impala. The angel was gone when he glanced over to his side again, and Dean shook his head and got into his own car.
The Winchesters headed straight for home after leaving work, making them one of the more boring newlywed couples in existence. Not that he particularly wanted to see his parents as swingers or party animals, but this was all just so very normal that he couldn't quite comprehend it.
Dean sat in his parked car just the way he had the night before, watching as the lights inside the Winchester home were extinguished and the clock ticked over into November 3rd. Then he started the engine and headed back to the motel for some much-needed sleep.
Dean looked down at the spikes that had become embedded in his leg. "Fuck," he said, spitting out the curse word and scrambling for his duffle.
Bobby looked over from where he was studying the corpse of the creature, recognizing that particular tone of voice from his time in Vietnam. They only had a faint idea what it was they'd just killed, which was usually a recipe for disaster, but they'd packed consecrated iron and silver and salt and gotten lucky. "What's wrong?"
"Recognize it now." Dean was rifling through his possessions with desperation.
"Let me guess, this wasn't enough to kill it."
"Oh, it works fine for killing it. But these things are poisonous." He gestured down to his bloodstained jeans as he pulled out what he was looking for. "The poison won't kill me, but I'm going to start hallucinating pretty soon and trust me when I say you're gonna want me tied up for that."
"You gotta be kidding me," Bobby groaned. "We're out in the damned middle of nowhere."
"Better out here than someplace where the locals can hear and get the wrong impression," Dean said, shrugging out of his leather jacket and tossing it on top of the bag. He walked over to a sturdy-looking tree and handed over a set of handcuffs to the friend trailing behind him. Bobby accepted them, though he wasn't sure exactly how his friend was planning on using the things. "No matter what happens, don't come within kicking distance until you're sure it's over. Should take me a few hours to ride out the worst of it." He sat down, his back settling against the trunk of the tree, and stretched his arms backwards.
Bobby caught on fairly quickly and slipped behind the tree, fastening the cuffs around the other man's wrists and making sure they were tight. One of the first things Dean had taught him when they started traveling together was how to get out of handcuffs, either by picking the lock or, in cases of desperation, by dislocating or breaking the bones of the hand. He really didn't want to see an example of that last one, and the best way to avoid that was to make the cuffs so tight that even that bit of lunacy wouldn't set him free.
He stepped away and was getting ready to ask if his friend needed anything when he caught the expression on Dean's face. Bobby could only identify the emotion because of recent experiences hunting; it was absolutely foreign to see terror on Dean Colt's face. The poison started working damned fast.
The corpse burned easily enough, although Bobby found himself muttering imprecations on his friend for missing out on the least-enjoyable aspect of the hunt. When the fire burned down to embers, he stomped them out and then settled down across from his friend.
There wasn't a lot he really knew about Dean. He liked women, all kinds, and not always just for sex. There was a great fondness for pie and solid American-made cars, along with loud music. He got friggin' morose in early May, watchful in early November, and fidgety in September. Good with guns, better with his fists, and one of the best he'd ever seen around an engine. But it wasn't like they sat around in a motel room at night, braiding each other's hair and sharing their greatest hopes and fears. Bobby had no idea what to expect.
Dean was already beginning to struggle against his bonds when Bobby hunkered down, using the tree behind him to push up until he was standing. He was talking to whoever or whatever he was seeing, his voice a growl as he threatened the hallucination. Bobby only recognized one name out of every three that his friend uttered, but those few names made the hair stand on the back of his neck. Everyone with a teaspoonful of demon knowledge had heard some permutation of the Lilith legend, but Dean spoke of her like she was his personal nemesis.
When Dean lurched forward and down, Bobby couldn't help but jump back. He watched in sick horror as his friend hung suspended from his now-dislocated shoulder, Dean's scream of rage and pain making him glad they'd stayed out in the middle of nowhere. "You let me go, you sick bastards. You leave my brother alone! Sam!"
Bobby took another step back and bumped into something solid and unmoveable. He thought he'd run into a tree until two hands grasped his arms, picked him up and moved him out of the way. He barely had enough time to aim his shotgun at the trenchcoat-clad figure before it reached Dean.
The shotgun blast had absolutely no effect, even though he was positive he'd hit the thing. The creature stepped up to his friend with absolute disregard for Dean's thrashing and rested two human-seeming fingers on the man's forehead. "Rest," said a gravelly, not-entirely-human voice, and Dean sagged down bonelessly. He was caught and gently lowered to the ground before the being turned around, revealing a human face. "I am not a threat to him, Robert Singer. Nor to you."
The shotgun didn't waver or lower. "I'd be more inclined to believe you if I knew who and what the hell you are."
There was a curious tilt of the thing's head, oddly reminiscent of a bird. "My name is Castiel. I'm an angel of the Lord."
"Ain't no such thing," Bobby spat.
There was a soft exhalation, which Bobby would discover later was the equivalent of a drawn-out sigh combined with eye-rolling, and then lightning flashed and he saw the shadow of enormous wings spread wide against the backdrop of trees. "He did not believe either, at first," the angel said, his voice oddly curious. "Humans have become very skeptical in the last two thousand years."
"Why are you here?" Bobby had dropped the weapon down to his side, but he reserved the right to keep it at hand while he talked to this 'Castiel' guy.
"I am here because I felt his pain." Castiel did not elaborate on this topic, nor did he begin a new one. Instead, the angel dropped down to the ground by Dean, watching his sleeping form with an odd lack of expression.
"He's been slashed open twice and dislocated that shoulder at least once since I've known him. That wasn't enough pain for you?"
"That was physical. Dean knows how to handle physical pain. It was the emotional pain that brought me here." He reached around the tree and produced the now-open handcuffs, setting them aside before passing a hand over the quills still embedded in Dean's leg. When Bobby got another look the quills were gone and the leg was whole again. "The Hystrix carries a poison that makes a person see his worst fears and memories, and Dean has a lot of those to choose from."
Bobby was suddenly presented with a dilemma. It was a pretty sure bet that the angel knew the answers to every question he'd ever had about Dean, questions he'd never dared to ask his friend. It seemed unwilling to lie, possibly even unable to do so. The problems with this were two-fold: only a sneaky bitch would go behind a friend's back like that, for one, and how do you interrogate an angel, anyway?
"Why him," he finally asked, deciding that was a fairly non-invasive question that probably wouldn't get him struck by lightning or shot by Dean.
"Because we have work for him," Castiel said. "He is a righteous man."
Bobby snorted. "In case you haven't noticed, the man's not exactly a saint. Guy gets more tail than the backseat of a cab." He realized that he'd said this to an angel a moment after the words had left his mouth, and felt himself redden. "What I mean is, Dean's a great guy, but not exactly who I'd think of as holy."
"Righteousness is defined as purity of heart," Castiel said, and Bobby didn't think the stiffness in his tone had been there quite so much earlier. "Doing the right thing for the right reason. We had priests. We needed a warrior."
"All right," said Bobby, hoping he wasn't about to earn himself a righteous smiting. "Why you?"
"Because I was the one who gripped his soul and raised it from perdition." The angel settled his hand on Dean's dislocated left shoulder, fitting slender fingers over the burn scar Dean made an effort to keep concealed. "His pain is my pain, until the end. That was the price for the privilege of raising him." The shoulder slipped back into place with no fanfare.
"That's enough, Cas," came a rough, weary voice. "Gotta leave me some mystery."
The angel frowned. "You should not be awake yet."
"Eh, you know how it goes. Places to go, things to kill." Dean sat up with a groan. "Thanks for showing up. I wasn't looking forward to spending the next ten or so hours reliving any of that crap."
"Please be more careful," Castiel said, his expression stern. "I must return to my duties." Then he was gone between one blink and the next.
Bobby looked at Dean as the other man climbed to his feet. "That's it. You're telling me everything."
No matter what Bobby said, Dean had no intention of telling him everything. Especially not the time travel. Highlights of the last few years maybe, (my brother died, I sold my soul to bring him back, went to hell, had an angel yank me out by the arm) but he'd come to like this younger version of Bobby for his own merits and was definitely not planning on tell him that a lifetime ago, Dean had thought of him as a second father. He had to leave out most of the details to keep all that a secret, but just the overview was enough to send a sane man screaming and he had a feeling that Bobby wasn't anxious for details.
"So that 'His pain is my pain' thing?"
"A new one to me," Dean admitted. "Castiel's pretty close-mouthed about that angel crap." He finished tucking away the weapons in the false bottom of the trunk before closing both the inside and outside lids and hurrying into the car and out of the cold, unfortunately into the passenger seat. Bobby had insisted, even though his injuries were gone, and Dean couldn't really argue.
Bobby nodded, absorbing the information as he followed Dean into the car. "And Hell?"
"Don't remember, not really." This was the first outright lie Dean had told to his friend in the whole tale, but that particular piece of information was no one's business but his. Forty years of memories that revolved around torture didn't belong in any conversation that he felt like having.
His friend looked contemplative as he started the engine and started driving down the rutted dirt road, which worried Dean a little. Nothing good ever came from such a look on the face of Bobby Singer. "So, angels are real."
"Both real and really annoying, most of the time," Dean confirmed.
"And that means that God is real." It was less a question and more a statement.
"They seem to think so," Dean said, shrugging. "Never met the guy myself."
Bobby would probably have been surprised at Dean's casual disregard of the matter if it hadn't fit right in with everything else he knew about the man. "And what does Castiel think about that?"
"Never asked him." Dean dug out a battered canteen from beneath the seat and took a drink. "Surest way to end a working relationship is to talk politics or religion." He drank again, deeply, before passing it over to Bobby. "Mostly he shows up to tell me to do something or to see if I'll explain some weird aspect of human behavior. It's not like we're hanging out at the Central Perk with Ross and Rachel."
"Don't worry about it. Point is, we don't spend much time together. He keeps pretty busy doing . . .whatever it is that angels do." Dean couldn't quite manage to keep out the bitterness as he indirectly quoted what Castiel had told him the second time they met. "You think the armies of heaven should just follow me around?"
There were a few seconds of silence, long enough to become awkward, before Bobby said gruffly, "I don't think even that could keep us out of trouble."
Dean laughed and the discussion moved on. "Let's head a few towns over, see if we can't find another case."
"You mean your angel buddy didn't give you one before he left?" Bobby chuckled at the idea before frowning. "Wait, is that where those weird cases come from?"
"What weird cases?" Dean tried his best to look both bored and innocent, but he was pretty sure he hadn't managed it.
"The one's like the Wendigo out in Colorado," Bobby said, a little impatiently. "Where you know more than you should about what's responsible and where to find it."
Huh. Dean hadn't even thought of that, but it was pretty much the perfect solution to the problem of hunts that came from his memories of the future. "Yeah. Sometimes Cas passes along stuff like that."
"Well, you could have just told me, 'stead of mucking around digging up research you didn't need."
Dean snorted. "This coming from the guy who probably didn't believe in angels six hours ago."
"Yeah, well, seeing is believing."
"That it is." Dean forced himself to settle back against his seat. He'd never made a good passenger. "No angel-approved hunt. We'll find our own."

Synopsis: Grief turned Jaycee into a daredevil, but can she dare to deal with her past?
On the anniversary of her daredevil brother's death, Jaycee attempts to break into Jake's favorite hideout—the petrifying ruins of an insane asylum. Joined by four classmates, each with their own brand of dysfunction, Jaycee discovers a map detailing her brother's exploration and the unfinished dares he left behind.
As a tribute to Jake, Jaycee vows to complete the dares, no matter how terrifying or dangerous. What she doesn't bargain on is her eccentric band of friends who challenge her to do the unthinkable: reveal the parts of herself that she buried with her brother.
Hi everyone! I promise this will be the last big post about this amazing book…if I can hold back, haha. As you all know, I absolutely adored You Were Here and one of the big reasons why was due to the settings. I went through the whole book wondering if the abandoned buildings in this book were real…and then I saw Geauga Lake, and knew they were! I spent most of the afternoon researching these fascinating places, and decided to write a little about them below.
Athens Ridges
Wikipedia | Ohio Exploration Society | YouTube Slideshow (TB ward)
Commonly known as The Ridges (and is known as thus in You Were Here), this Insane Asylum is the centre of the book as Jake's favourite place.
Moonville Tunnel
Wikipedia | Ohio Exploration Society | YouTube (Slideshow & info)
Moonville is a ghost town mentioned in the book, and the tunnel appears as a main setting. It is apparently haunted and the setting of many ghost stories.
Blood Bowl (Gates of Hell)
Ohio Exploratio Society | YouTube Exploration
The Blood Bowl is apparently known as so due to a skater who died or the amount of skaters who have been involved in accidents there. One of it's key features is a life-size spray painted silhouette painted by graffiti artist Bones. More information on Weird US here!
Randall Park Mall
Wikipedia | YouTube Exploration
One of the key parts of this book occurs in this book is based at the insane Randall Park, an abandoned mall in North Randall, OH. I would definitely recommend watching the video – it's so fascinating…if it was still standing I would have considered visiting there myself.
Geauga Lake
Wikipedia | YouTube Drone Footage
This book ends at the amazing site of Cedar Fair/Six Flags theme park, which is commonly known as Geuaga Lake due to the lake it surrounds.
This is was the only site I knew of before reading the book – as I have a friend who visited there when it was open – and confirmed all of the sites in this book were real. Geauga Lake has fascinated me since a couple of years ago and I saw a video of it on my friends YouTube channel…and I did a lot of research about it then. Reading this book caused a second wave of reading articles and watching videos about it, and I'm very glad a massive part of the book occurred at this site!
If you enjoy emotional books and are also fascinated about abandoned sites, I can't recommend this book enough! You can read my full review here.
May your shelves forever overflow with books! ☽

So on this Easter Sunday, as I prepared to watch the live stream of Sunday Service by Kanye West at Coachella, I waited with excitement because I had seen the previous clips on the internet and I wondered how they would execute it on such a big stage.

HI-WAX™ Polyethylene Wax
HI-WAX™ is a polyethylene wax with various grades in Polymerization type, Modified type and Thermally Cracking type. The wax can be used as a slip agent, disperant, resin modifier, and mold release agent due to its molecular structure, which enables it to outperform natural waxes.
The performance characteristics and properties of the synthetic wax, include:
This synthetic wax, made from a low molecular weight polypropylene, outperforms natural wax such as animal, plant or mineral wax, due to its heat resistance, melting point and molecular structure.
HI-WAX™ Polyethylene Wax Applications
The various grades of HI-WAX™ are used for a broad range of applications, such as slip agents, disperants, resin modifiers, and mold release agents for the molding of various synthetic resins.
Mold Release Agent for the Molding of Plastics
The polyethylene wax can be used as a mold release agent for plastics due to its releasability which increases productivity, prevents pollution and enables the molding of complex shapes.
Modifier for Engineered Plastics
It is used as a modifier for engineered plastics due to its impact strength and flexural modulus properties. With the use of HI-WAX™, manufacturers realize cost reduction due to thin materials.

This was done when I had a half day at work. What can I say, in stressful periods I feel like wearing ALL TEH MAKE UP. And I always want to wear RED eyeshadow.
(seeeee the lashes! This was actually about 2 weeks after bimatoprost. Not in insane territory yet, but looking awesome already.)
A simple but high impact look using the warm shades in my Newtrals vs Neutrals palette. You can do loads of complete looks without needing to reach for other palettes, which is something I do love about it. I also added brown glitter gel liner. This was taken AFTER my halfday, so my make up had already been on for 6 hours or more.
It definitely looked more impactful in real life and I was kinda worried my very traditional big boss would say something… but she didn't so IDGAF! 😀

That's a wrap
By Hunter7Taylor (Inger Eberhart)
We have completed our tour of Dublin and it's time to go. We have been here six days and bonded over sushi, traditional Irish fare and our collective wanderlust (ok, we got lost). Taking this journey as a group has allowed us to have some wonderful experiences, meet the locals and share taxis with drivers protesting about everything from the smart water meters to Michelle Obama vacations to historical places in Dublin. Oh, and we also visited the US Embassy, RTE Radio & TV, Failte Ireland & Guinness :-)
I'm from the government & I'm here to help
These words were spoken by Ronald Reagan and he stated those are nine of the most terrifying words in the English language. However, in this instance, this is not the case. At the US Embassy, we spoke with Jen McAndrews about her career as a cultural attache in Israel, Pakistan and now Ireland. She provided very straightforward, in-depth information about her career and duties in the State Department. Her overall duties in each assignment were to create events that supported the US's policy directives for the area. For example, in Pakistan, Jen coordinated a music concert in a place where music is generally forbidden and musicians' work is not protected under copyright; in addition to the ongoing terrorism threats and general security issues.
Public-private partnership
At RTE, we spoke with Killian McCrae. RTE is a nationally-funded television and radio organization. They acquire funding from a broadcast fee attached to each household (180 euros/year) and through advertising. The variety of programming includes news, soap operas, dramas, politics and a myriad of other shows. The overarching goal of the agency is to engage diverse audiences through a variety of programming delivered effectively, efficiently and economically across the audience's choice of platform (digital, television, etc.) Although the station is a government entity, they operate as if they were a private, non-profit organization with the needs of the viewers at the forefront of their corporate strategy.
That was one word that Failte Ireland used to lure businesses, tourists and residents to Ireland. Tourism is one of Ireland's biggest industries and Failte Ireland wants you to fall in love with everything Ireland. Whether you are a great escaper fleeing the rat race, culturally curious about what makes Ireland the place that it is or a social energizer emboldened by the night life, there is always a place for you in Ireland. Energize at Temple Bar, track your heritage at the National Library or have your breath taken away at the Cliffs of Moher.
Danielle and Alex are two of Ireland's best ambassadors who have replicated their energy and enthusiasm to thousands of business owners throughout Ireland. The team of over 400 employees serve one purpose and send one message: Failte (Welcome to) Ireland.
Guinness: The Brand Experience
Ireland's number one visitor attraction (1.2M/year) is not just a beer company but a brand experience. 93% of their visitors are from countries worldwide and the majority of those visitors are new. Instead of just drinking a beer, Guinness markets itself as a must see attraction which has rocketed it to one of the top five paid experiences in the world, think Coca-Cola in Atlanta, VW in Germany & Hershey's in Pennsylvania. Just a few elements of the brand experience: Guinness Academy (learn to present the perfect pint), marketing (whistling oysters & a fish on a bicycle), Gravity Bar (Dublin 360). Each interaction is to foster & deepen brand love by creating unique & shareable moments.

Norman bets big on golf with 'Shark Experience'
|Norman shows how the system works, with intuitive, touchscreen controls.
Norman's made a lot of business deals in his career, but admitted this deal was one of the longest to complete, as it took 50 months from his original idea and almost four years since he and his business partner, David Chessler, first visited with Verizon. Norman and Chessler will invest "tens of millions" of dollars through Greg Norman Media, the newest division of the Greg Norman Co., as they partner with Verizon, Club Car and golf technology company GPSi, to provide the high-definition touchscreen displays and built-in speakers with Bluetooth connectivity in golf carts. "These are big companies, and the deals take longer. This one went right up to the top at Verizon," Norman told me as we sat in a cart going through the displays. Golfers can pay for three different packages — the highest being $9.95 per cart that offers all the programming options — through a frictionless process, while some resorts will clearly add the service on as an amenity and course upgrade. Content ranges from streaming music via Slacker Radio, as well as sports, news and entertainment programming, highlights, course data, golf tips, and food and beverage ordering. Norman touted the evolving nature of "Shark Experience." "This is a platform, not a product," Norman said. The system is currently in a pilot phase at two courses and will preview at the 2018 PGA Merchandise Show, with a full rollout planned for spring.
Norman said the early feedback has been good, with the music options and sound quality receiving the most positive response. It also has not slowed the pace of play, which was a concern. I golf less these days, and Norman and I shared more stories about our tennis game than our golf game. I acknowledged one of the reasons I've pared back my golf was the lack of time and the overall experience. His eyes grew wide, as if I was a perfect target to benefit from "Shark Experience." The system is a smart, swift platform, has a wide range of offerings, and provides crisp, clear sound. The offerings from content-heavy Verizon were broad and there were no buffering or speed issues. And, to Norman's point, it's virgin space that is evolving. I could imagine a Saturday where golfers are connected to college football games or Sundays watching the Red Zone while playing 18 holes. All of which would be appealing to the 18- to 34-year-olds the game desperately needs.
First Look podcast, with Greg Norman discussion at the 20:50 mark:
|Features include golf course information, weather, news, sports highlights and music.
On the back end, the technology provides courses with greater insight into their fleet management, including pain points around the course and data on how players use the course. In the future, personalized data collection of rounds, shot selection and playing tendencies will be key, and with tech advancing so quickly, the service will need to continuously add content and even the screen size may need to be enhanced. But it's an interesting start, and you can see where Norman wants to take it. "This is something the golf courses and industry has been crying out for, and it's a fit for all generations," Norman said.
Near the end of our visit, we watched a threesome come up the final hole toward the green. Norman pointed out how each player was on his own, going to his ball, hitting it, and continuing toward the green in a solitary experience. He envisioned the behavior changing through "Shark Experience," with the three players becoming more engaged around the entertainment option from the technology. "This system makes the game far more enjoyable and communal. I would have loved this when I was playing," he laughed.
Norman acknowledges he doesn't play much golf these days, and earlier in the day, I asked how much practice he and his son, Gregory, were doing as they prepare for the 2017 PNC Father/Son Challenge in December in Florida. Norman elbowed his son, bemoaning how much he was out of practice and feigned relief when learning about the scramble format. "He's going to have to carry me," Norman said, pointing to his son. Later, turning serious, Norman hopes this technology adds to his legacy around the game, disrupting the status quo while boosting participation, especially on local city courses. "The game of golf has given me so much in my life," he said. "This is my way of hopefully giving back to the game and improving the experience for others."

A small group of architects and developers interested in renovating the futuristic
New York State Pavilion in Queens toured the complex yesterday with officials
from the city Parks Department.
Among those ready to suggest a use is Frank Campione, principal of CREATE Architecture
Planning & Design. Campione contacted the city in 2001 seeking to stabilize
the pavilion and convert it to an aerospace museum. [Since then] Campione is
establishing a nonprofit group named Save New York State Pavilion Organization
that would be authorized to raise money.
"We've been playing by all the rules and want to work with Parks," said Campione,
who was among the group that toured the grounds. "We're just waiting for the
green light."
Campione also is assembling a development team that includes many of the pavilion's
builders. Among those on board is Philip Johnson Alan Ritchie architects of
Manhattan. Philip Johnson who turned 98 yesterday was the pavilion's [original]
Something needs to be done with the pavilion," said his partner Alan Ritchie.
"It's a crime to let it deteriorate the way it has."

The boy's team won (thanks largely to my expert rendering of "Wind In The Willows" I think).
After the raffle came the closing ceremony which was very moving as Mr. Pádraig Ó Méaloid announced his retirement from con running and handed the reigns of P-Con over to Mr. Frank Darcy. A few tears were shed but it was genrally a fittingly happy end to a fantastic convention.

The nice man on the CS Lewis panel was Smythe, who is, amongst other things, Terry Pratchett's agent, and my literary hero. Juliette is actually Juliet, and Fluffcthuluh is actually Fluffcthulhu (those Elder Gods get picky about these things...)
Other than that, top marks, Mr Reppion!
Myself and Brian look like thugs in that last picture, though. Still, the camera never lies.

Don't be fooled. This picture is from 1994. I don't wear suits (this was taken during a dress up for work photo day at a small startup a long time ago.) And I don't have long hair anymore. I don't won't to bore you with the details of my personal life. It's the campaign that's important. Now get out there and drum up the vote!
You don't really care, so I don't. That's all I'm putting here for now.Ok, a little history. I was working at a small startup in '94. We were one of the first companies in Silicon Valley designing web sites. Netscape 1.0 wasn't even out yet. So, I realize that domain names are starting to get snatched up quickly. A friend of mine had one of Choasium's early Cthulhu For President kits, and I was always a big HPL fan. So I figured, I might as well jump on the bandwagon and get my own domain name. Cthulhlu.com was already taken, so I grabbed the .org domain name. Of course, being a .org I needed to make a site related to that status. Back in those days people generally followed the rules (.com for business, .org for not-for-profits and .net for ISPs.) So, bored one weekend I threw together the site. A year or two later, I put together the alt.sex.cthulhu archive that I had amassed. But that newsgroup mostly fizzled (because of all the goddamn spam) and since then I haven't done much with the site but pay the small bills to keep onto it. However, I really would like to improve it one day. It's just that sometimes, life gets in the way of the campaign. If only Cthulhu were here to keep me company.

It's pretty amazing to be faced with the menagerie of possibilities that your future child can be. Since we chose not to find out the sex this time (though trust me--every time the ultrasound tech told me I might want to look away so as not to find out on accident, I was staring intently at whatever I thought was a private part, convinced I'd see some hint--but to no avail) it's an even broader spectrum of imagination. Dark hair or light, straight or curly, boy or girl. And then with any assumption of one of the previous options, another flow of thoughts stem--ballet or soccer? , tomboy or mama's boy?, mini-skirt battles or (ugh!) making bike ramps out of plywood?
It's crazy to think that in less than 19 weeks, our lives will be changed so incredibly. Our baby will become our big kid (the thought is already making me cry) and we'll be carrying around another tiny little person, two carseats, maybe even a double stroller....and oh....sleep deprivation, how could I forget.
But what's more amazing is that right now there is a tiny little secret growing inside me that only God totally knows. There are weeks of everyone's lives, months even, where the only entity totally aware of who they are and what they will become is God. Right now my baby is totally known to the creator of the universe. He alone knows the hair patterns, the fingerprints, the tiny feet, the gender. And He has his own amazing name for him or her. Right on the other side of my stomach, separated to me only by skin and tissue and organs (mere inches) is my future son or daughter and I have no idea what they are like.

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner signed several bills on Sunday affecting Illinois veterans, including a measure establishing a discount card program and another offering property tax breaks for those with military-related disabilities.
The Republican first-term governor's office released a short statement Sunday saying six bills had been signed in honor of Veterans Day at the Illinois State Fair. Veterans received free entrance to the fair on Sunday with events honoring those who've served.
One newly signed law provides tax breaks to veterans who make accessibility upgrades to their homes, such as wheelchair ramps and lifts. Such changes wouldn't increase the assessed valuation of the property for years after improvements are made, under the law. It would also allow certain disabled veterans to quality for an annual property tax exemption of $2,500. The legislation, which takes effect immediately, received unanimous support from lawmakers.
Another plan that also takes effect immediately says the state's Department of Veterans Affairs will establish and administer a veterans and active duty discount card program for use at participating merchants. House and Senate lawmakers voted unanimously in favor of the legislation.
Other newly signed laws also make minor changes to the rules for flying flags and scholarships for children of veterans.

Claire Chene, War Report, 2004, acrylic/wood panel, 76 x 48.
Claire Chenes new series of paintings are off the wall and into the gallery space. The artists paintings are displayed freestanding, allowing the viewer to move around them. Chene says, Two years ago I felt that I wanted to set myself a challenge, changing the format, without giving up a traditional approach. I wanted my paintings to be out in space, not only on the wall, but themselves becoming a wall. By making the paintings freestanding she can work on both sides, allowing Chene the opportunity to explore contrasting imagery in a single work, or to continue a theme on the reverse side. With these paintings Chene is seeking to interact with her audience and draw them into the discussion of themes that touch us all, including war, danger, chaos, and joy, hope and spirituality. Clearly the artist has been deeply touched by the upheaval in our world in recent years and has made paintings that reach out from the loneliness of the artists studio to interact and engage us in a real way.
The artist states, Since 2001 the world has changed for us in America and further threats to our tranquility have arisen. Facing the danger from outside, we may fail to recognize our own complicity in chaos. Personally, I have been trying to understand how I can live hopefully, humanly in a dangerous world It may be a coincidence that 2 years ago I started to make freestanding paintings, but perhaps it was the impulse to adapt to a world with different rules and boundaries. Reaching back to an idea of personal reflection, I made some screens just to give comfort and rest. Then I began to think about an altarpiece, like a traveling show, instructive about dangers and encouraging hope. For me, a meditation on problems of materialism and spirituality.
Claire Chene received her B.F.A. from California State University, Fullerton. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

Lupus Nephritis
Lupus nephritis is inflammation of the kidney that is caused by systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). Also called lupus, SLE is an autoimmune disease. With lupus, the body's immune system targets its own body tissues. Lupus nephritis happens when lupus involves the kidneys.lupus nephritis can lead to kidney failure.
Symptoms of Lupus Nephritis
Lupus nephritis is a serious problem. Its symptoms, though, are not always dramatic. For many, the first noticeable symptom is swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. Less often, there can be swelling in the face or hands.
Other symptoms can vary from person to person and from day to day. They may include:
- Weight gain
- High blood pressure
- Dark urine
- Foamy, frothy urine
- The need to urinate during the night
People with lupus may also be prone to urinary tract infections. These cause burning on urination and require treatment with antibiotics. Certain lupus medications can also affect the kidneys and cause swelling and other symptoms similar to those of lupus nephritis. Problems related to these drugs usually go away when the drugs are no longer used.
Medications used in treatment can include:
- Corticosteroids.
- Immunosuppressive drugs.
- Medications to prevent blood clots or lower blood pressure if needed
Kidney Diseases
Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You have a higher risk of kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years. Other kidney problems include
- Cancer
- Cysts
- Stones
- Infections
Your doctor can do blood and urine tests to check if you have kidney disease. If your kidneys fail, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Chronic Kidney Disease
When your kidneys don't work well for longer than 3 months, doctors call it chronic kidney disease. You may not have any symptoms in the early stages, but that's when it's simpler to treat.
Diabetes (types 1 and 2) and high blood pressure are the most common culprits. High blood sugar levels over time can harm your kidneys. And high blood pressure creates wear and tear on your blood vessels, including those that go to your kidneys.
Depending on the underlying cause, some types of kidney disease can be treated. Often, though, chronic kidney disease has no cure.
Treatment usually consists of measures to help control signs and symptoms, reduce complications, and slow progression of the disease. If your kidneys become severely damaged, you may need treatment for end-stage kidney disease.
Treating The Cause
Your doctor will work to slow or control the cause of your kidney disease. Treatment options vary, depending on the cause. But kidney damage can continue to worsen even when an underlying condition, such as high blood pressure, has been controlled.
Metbolic Acidosis
Metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when the body produces excessive quantities of acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. If unchecked, metabolic acidosis leads to acidemia, i.e., blood pH is low (less than 7.35) due to increased production of hydrogen ions by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3−) in the kidney. Its causes are diverse, and its consequences can be serious, including coma and death. Together with respiratory acidosis, it is one of the two general causes of acidemia.
- Acidosis refers to a process that causes a low pH in blood and tissues.
- Acidemia refers specifically to a low pH in the blood.
In most cases, acidosis occurs first for reasons explained below. Free hydrogen ions then diffuse into the blood, lowering the pH. Arterial blood gas analysis detects acidemia (pH lower than 7.35). When acidemia is present, acidosis is presumed.
A pH under 7.1 is an emergency, due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmias, and may warrant treatment with intravenous bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is given at 50-100 mmol at a time under scrupulous monitoring of the arterial blood gas readings. This intervention, however, has some serious complications in lactic acidosis, and in those cases, should be used with great care.
If the acidosis is particularly severe and/or intoxication may be present, consultation with the nephrology team is considered useful, as dialysis may clear both the intoxication and the acidosis.
Uric Acid Nephropathy
Acute uric acid nephropathy (AUAN, also acute urate nephropathy) is a rapidly worsening (decreasing) kidney function (renal insufficiency) that is caused by high levels of uric acid in the urine (hyperuricosuria).
Acute uric acid nephropathy is usually seen as part of the acute tumour lysis syndrome in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy for the treatment of malignancies with rapid cell turnover, such as leukemia and lymphoma. It may also occur in these patients before treatment is begun, due to spontaneous tumor cell lysis (high incidence in Burkitt's lymphoma).
Treatment is focused on preventing deposition of uric acid within the urinary system by increasing urine volume with potent diuretics such as furosemide. Raising the urinary pH to a level higher than 7 (alkalinization) is often difficult to attain, although sodium bicarbonate and/or acetazolamide are sometimes used in an attempt to increase uric acid solubility.
Dialysis (preferably hemodialysis) is started if the above measures fail.
Polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited kidney disorder. It causes fluid-filled cysts to form in the kidneys. PKD may impair kidney function and eventually cause kidney failure.
PKD is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. People with PKD may also develop cysts in the liver and other complications.
The goal of PKD treatment is to manage symptoms and avoid complications. Controlling high blood pressure is the most important part of treatment.
Some of the treatment options may include:
- pain medication, except Ibuprofen, which is not recommended as it may worsen kidney disease
- blood pressure medication
- antibiotics to treat UTIs
- a low sodium diet
- diuretics to help remove excess fluid from the body
- surgery to drain cysts and help relieve discomfort
With advanced PKD that causes renal failure, dialysis and kidney transplant may be necessary. One or both of the kidneys may need to be removed.
Dialysis is a treatment that filters and purifies the blood using a machine. This helps keep your body in balance when the kidneys can't do their job
Properly functioning kidneys prevent extra water, waste, and other impurities from accumulating in your body. They also help control blood pressure and regulate the levels of chemicals in the blood, such as sodium, or salt, and potassium. They even activate a form of vitamin D that improves the absorption of calcium.
When your kidneys can't perform these functions due to disease or injury, dialysis can help keep the body running as normally as possible.
Dialysis is an artificial way of cleaning your blood. There are two different types of dialysis:
Hemodialysis is the most common type of dialysis. It uses an artificial kidney, known as a hemodialyzer, to remove waste and chemicals from your blood. To get the blood to flow to the artificial kidney, your doctor will surgically create a vascular access, or an entrance point, into your blood vessels. This vascular access will allow a larger amount of blood to flow through your body during hemodialysis treatment. This means more blood can be filtered and purified.
The two type of vascular access designed for long-term dialysis treatments are an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, which connects an artery and a vein and an AV graft, which is a looped tube. For short-term use, a catheter may be inserted into the large vein in your neck.
Hemodialysis treatments usually last three to five hours. The treatment is typically needed three times per week. However, hemodialysis treatment can also be done in shorter, more frequent sessions.
Most hemodialysis treatments are done at a hospital, doctor's office, or dialysis center. The length of treatment depends on your body size and the amount of waste in your body.
After you've been on hemodialysis for an extended amount of time, your doctor may feel that you're ready to give yourself dialysis treatments at home. This option is more common for people who will need long-term treatment.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis involves surgery to implant a catheter into your belly area. During treatment, a special fluid called dialysate flows into your abdomen. Once the dialysate draws waste out of the bloodstream, it's drained from your abdomen.
There are numerous different types of peritoneal dialysis, but the main ones are continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis. In continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, your abdomen is filled and drained multiple times each day. Continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis, however, uses a machine to cycle the fluid in and out of your abdomen. It's usually done at night while you sleep.
Peritoneal dialysis can be done at home. You'll receive training on how to perform the steps of the treatment.
Renal Replacement Theray
Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is therapy that replaces the normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used when the kidneys are not working well, which is called renal failure and includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement therapy includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration, which are various ways of filtration of blood with or without machine. Renal replacement therapy also includes kidney transplantation, which is the ultimate form of replacement in that the old kidney is replaced by a donor kidney.
These treatments are not truly cures for kidney disease. In the context of chronic kidney disease, they are more accurately viewed as life-extending treatments, although if chronic kidney disease is managed well with dialysis and a compatible graft is found early and is successfully transplanted, the clinical course can be quite favorable, with life expectancy of many years. Likewise, in certain acute illnesses or trauma resulting in acute kidney injury, a person could very well survive for many years, with relatively good kidney function, before needing intervention again, as long as they had good response to dialysis, they got a kidney transplant fairly quickly if needed, their body did not reject the transplanted kidney, and they had no other significant health problems. Early dialysis (and, if indicated, early renal transplant) in acute renal failure usually brings more favorable outcomes.

Myhre Group Architects was responsible for the interior design and tenant improvement for the AND 1 designer's office located in Portland, Oregon. The main design challenge was to maintain the integrity of the office's historic building while allowing the AND 1 brand to beam through. In order to capture the feel of the company's street ball origins, key elements were used such as a gymnasium floor, half-court striping, industrial fencing, and murals created by a local graffiti artist. Ultimately, this 8,379-square foot space allows for future expansion and flexibility, but still provides separation between the divisions.
