April 30th – May 6th is Screen Free Week.
What is Screen Free Week you might be asking?
It is the chance to step away from computers, TV's and other electronics. Give yourself a break, give your tykes a break and find fun entertaining things to do instead. Spend quality time as a family even.
Why Screen Free for a Week?
Because more and more children and adults are becoming sedentary. Our obesity rates are rising drastically and it is time to get off the couch, step outside and live a more healthy and active life style. The Campaign For A Commercial-Free Childhood has put together this yearly event and myself along with other bloggers are participating in spreading the word. I know it isn't easy to go completely screen free for the week and for some it is impossible so choosing to set aside a few hours for other activities instead of electronics is still beneficial.
Tales of a Mountain Mama has worked hard to coordinate and execute a wonderful Screen Free campaign. Check out her website for daily giveaways (entry is only 24hrs!) and great information on how to go Screen Free.
How Can You Participate?
Commit to turning off all electronics from April 30th – May 6th. Show your tykes you can do it and they will follow. Visit the websites below for ideas, activities, resources and giveaways to help you go screen free.
Here is a list of Screen Free activities for the week:
Hiking/Nature Walk: A great way to get those legs moving, breath in the fresh air, get a bit of vitamin D, spend time as a family and enjoy being outside.
Playground/Park: Head to a new playground or park. One you've never been to before. Change it and let the kids play on different equipment.
Nature Reserve: Visit your local nature reserve. There are easy nature trails and you might spot some wildlife.
National/State Park: Visit your local national or state park. There are usually trails for everyone, visitor centers chock-full of educational material and ranger led programs.
Bike ride: Pump of the tires and hit the road or trails.
Scavenger Hunt: Put together a list of items for your tykes to find and then go on a walk or hike.
Art Walk: Directions here.
When doing any activity it is important that your tyke is well hydrated and nourished. Healthy snacks and water will help sustain their energy. We all know what its like to have a crabby tyke that is hungry or thirsty. They focus on their bellies and how hungry/thirsty they are, they get fatigued and it becomes a miserable outing. Make sure you bring healthy snacks and water along to any activity.
String Cheese
Granola Bars (we've been making our own)
Apples already sliced with Artisana nut butters
Pepperoni and cheese
Trail Mix or Gorp (we make our own)
Pb & J
Boiled eggs
Raspberries, Blackberries or Blueberries

Mace Six Months
Sunday, August 23, 2015
Macie is six months old today. He has big blue eyes, awesome stick straight hair that falls right down the center of his head, and always a big open-mouthed smile. He rolls over, loves rice cereal, and is still a tummy time champ as evidenced by this photo - shot during this morning's six month photo shoot.
I'm not sure if I believe in reincarnation, but if I did, this would be the kid carrying Maxie's spirit. Their personalities are so alike. And when Macie looks at you, it's as if he can see straight into your soul - very much like his biggest brother.
He's still his own little guy though and we are all CRAZY about him!!!

Been thinking about y'all! Your babies are all beautiful! You have so much happening, and so much change...I am glad you continue to share your thoughts here. I know they help to guide, validate, and encourage people through some of the most important, personal, and often heartbreaking experiences of our lives. A lot of people aren't willing to reach out and share like that. I appreciate you for filling the gap!

Hiking with my dogs on a beautiful lakeside trail a young family approaches from around a bend. The mother carries her baby in her back pack. A young boy, probably eight, is by her side. Holding her fathers hand is a little girl, maybe four years old. My three friendly dogs trail behind me sniffing tall grasses and vibrant yellow mustard flowers off the beaten trail. I smile as we get closer and the little boy gestures towards my dogs, offering a friendly greeting.
"Hi doggies! Come here doggies!" He slaps his hand on his thigh and attempts a whistle.
My dogs trot up for a friendly hello, of course.
The mother promptly says in a severely stern voice that stuns me,"You KNOW we don't talk to dogs. They are NOT people!" She grabs his elbow and pulls him along. "Keep walking!" They pass me quickly, the little boy turns his head back, not smiling.
Whaaat? I thought. You know we don't talk to dogs? They are not people? This feels sad to me. That little boy, along with his brother and sister are conditioned to fear dogs by his parents own set of beliefs and fears that will influence his relationship with all animals. Will he ever understand this dynamic? That his parents are teaching him to be afraid?
Animals communicate all the time. They just don't talk. As human beings we talk too much and listen too little.
We have much to learn from our animal friends. They are essential to our environment and to our planet. They balance out this crazy world.
I wonder if we human beings will ever re-capture this seemingly lost universal language we share with all living Beings. I hope so. It will be a new world then.
One of our favorite trails along a pristine lake.

Patients report severe pain when it comes to pancreatitis, an illness that occurs when the large gland organ, the pancreas, becomes inflamed. The condition falls into two categories: chronic pancreatitis, which deals with long-term inflammation and damage of the gland; as well as acute pancreatitis, which is sudden, short-term, and does get better with medical treatment after days or weeks. Symptoms of pancreatitis sometimes include: nausea, vomiting, and severe pain within the upper abdomen region.
Very Well Health reported that while the condition requires prompt medical attention, there are a variety of supplements that can help when it comes to easing symptoms. Research is limited around natural remedies for the illness; however, some studies have revealed the effective pain-relieving efforts some supplements can have.
It's important to note that the below options should go hand-in-hand with healthcare treatment, and are not meant to replace them.
As per a 2014 study, antioxidant may slightly assist those who suffer with chronic pancreatitis, by a minor reduction in pain. The team for this study reviewed 12 prior clinical trials with just over 580 participants. Their findings revealed that more research was needed to truly determine the benefits; however, the idea around taking antioxidant supplements to help with the painful symptoms of chronic pancreatitis is around decreasing oxidative stress, a potential element during the condition's development.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
There are many health benefits around taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements, with one of them being that they could aid in decreasing infectious complications for those with acute pancreatitis, including lessening a person's hospital stay; as hospitalization is vital in the treatment process for the illness. A 2015 study that reviewed eight clinical trials came to this determination, and research also suggests that omega-3 fatty acids could assist with the condition by repairing damaged tissue in the pancreas, and decrease the inflammation this illness causes on the organ.
While supplements might be the easiest way to go, there are also many foods that naturally contain omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish like tuna and salmon, as well as flaxseed.
Never heard of glutamine before? Well, it's an amino acid that organically presents itself within the body, and plays a vital role as it relates to metabolism. A study conducted in 2013 revealed that taken in supplement form, glutamine could help those acute pancreatitis patients who participate in total parenteral nutrition as a form of treatment. The research team analyzed 12 clinical trials that had a total of just over 500 participants. As per the authors of the study, their research found that glutamine supplements offered a "clear advantage" to those acute pancreatitis patients that received total parenteral nutrition. They also stated that glutamine supplements were not needed for those acute pancreatitis patients who received enteral nutrition (food via a feeding tube).
While these natural supplements will aid in pancreatitis symptom relief, they are to be used along with medical treatment options advised by a physician. Ensure to talk to your doctor before you decide to take the "home remedy" route to help out with any pain or discomfort that comes with this condition.

The Government has overestimated how much its latest student immigration policy will cost the economy and how many students will be impacted, according to analysis by ANZ.
Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway unveiled the changes to post-study work rights, which he says will help eliminate migrant exploitation, earlier this month.
He told Newshub's The Nation the policy would affect between 12,000-16,000 students and will cost the economy $260 million in lost revenue per year.
But ANZ economist Miles Workman says the Government hasn't provided enough detail on how it arrived at this figure and the bank's research shows it is likely to only cost $100 million a year and is likely to affect 10,000 students.
He says industry players in the tertiary education sector say maybe 50% or fewer international students actually go on to apply for a post-study work visa.
"You then have to consider how many within that pool are actually going to be impacted by the policy changes, based on what they're studying or how long they study for."
Assuming that's roughly 50% as well, this would imply that the work rights of around 10,000 students could be impacted per year, he says.
And there is a "decent chance" that only a small proportion of those 10,000 are likely to be dissuaded from studying in New Zealand, Workman says.
All up, the policy is likely to have a negligible impact on economic growth.
"We estimate nominal GDP could be up to $100 million lower per annum as a result of these policy changes, due to both reduced export earnings and lower domestic demand for goods and services," Workman says.
But National's immigration spokesman Michael Woodhouse says that figure is "understated."
"[ANZ] appears to have used the new student visas, but most students stay here for between two and five years.
"So actually, the impact of this, if those people don't come is going to be much, much greater."
The full cost, he says could be between $300 million and "several hundred more."
Lees-Galloway says the Government is focussed on providing a high-quality education, not getting more bums on seats.
"That shift from volume to value will improve outcomes for the students and ensure that export education continues to make a significant contribution to New Zealand's economic and social wellbeing."

The only thing this will affect is ANZ's bottom line, which is the only reason it's been published.
Students that go on to get post study work visas don't buy houses.
The student migrants dream on? Yes.
International students that get working visas don't go on to buy houses in New Zealand. They go flatting in shoeboxes, eat dominos and borrow their friend's car to drive for Uber.
It's the experienced engineers, quantity surveyors, accounts and factory owners selling up homes in Australia, UK, China that buy houses here.
There are two different groups of students: 1) students primarily from poor countries, resembling what you describe, and 2) children of wealthy families who are using the study-to-work scheme as an easy entry and do indeed buy property. I have quite a number of friend who have been through the Pretend Tertiary Education sector to get into NZ. They attest that the second group can often be easily identified by an expectation that they don't need to attend classes or pass tests because "We paid you all this money. You have to pass us."
Except many do. All you need is a few to take lower quartile homes to put them out of reach of FHB who cannot access higher up the market.
At the end of the day I don't think there is the data to prove this either way.
My intuition is that international students that complete poor quality courses (degrees and high quality programs won't be affected by this policy apparently) go on to earn low wages and are typically single. I'd say they are one of the least likely demographics to be able to afford a house, particularly in Auckland.
I reckon this bloke Lees Galloway is way out of his depth ............ migrant exploitation is going to happen no matter what he or anyone else does , he might as well fart into the rainstorm currently passing over Auckland .
Hell , even well educated migrants are underpaid when the arrive here
All the well educated Brits I know negotiated comparatively impressive salaries here. All had some form of specialism/experience that is in short supply in NZ, so were able to come here with a decent wage.
True,I was a well paid immigrant and when I came I held back wages for experienced computer programmers by a trifle. I didn't cause any to lose their job or stop a young Kiwi getting into the business. However our low paid immigrants push down already low wages; unfair to low paid and unemployed Kiwis. If we have to have immigrants make them well paid not 3rd world students. They are a recipe for corruption.
It seems like some of these well educated migrants have been paying other people to do their homework
So ANZ now get to set an agenda on immigration policy and are allowed to interfere with the governments discourse and that of the electorate. Oh New Zealand we really have opened up a can of worms. Is it time for the banks to stick to lending rates and saving rates and leave governing to the government. I sometimes feel that there is a dirty façade in this country hiding a deep rooted corruption that protects the vested interests of a secret 'Upper Class'
Addendum. To get involved with this ANZ must be worried about the impact that this will have on their loan book and where they are currently seeing the housing market go... Property 'snakes and ladders' I guess. Did someone just roll 'snake eyes' and about to fall from 99 - 50....??
A very thin, transparent facade - I can see through what they're trying to do.
Do international student still pay a premium? When I was studying I recall that they paid around 2.5 times for the same course as residents/citizens.
Not saying the government is right or ANZ is wrong but if someone has made a mistake with the numbers.....
My understanding is it isn't a premium per se, rather they pay the full cost of the education, whereas NZ students are subsidised by the government to (nearly) the full cost.
Depends on the institute/university/course. Even to get a course equivalent to higher levels of education (degree, bachelors etc), means they can still pay relatively low costs. If they are Australian they get the benefits of NZ student course costs in many cases.
with John Key being on the ANZ board I would say that they will be very pro National and anti Labour
Well I am pleased the ANZ is brave enough to make any statement about immigration. There really does need to be a well informed public debate.
Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway says his ""changes to post-study work rights will help eliminate migrant exploitation"". ANZ says they will cause NZ to lose $100m GDP and the Nats ex-Immigration minister disagrees. If you read Prof Stringer's report on Worker Exploitation (Dec 2016) then $100m is a trivial amount. This is a problem that should have been tackled in 2016. The exploitation of naive foreigners from 3rd world countries is a major embarrassment to NZ even if most never attain permanent residency. It has been noticed in India and in Filipino media. So even if you have no humanity and don't care less about exploitation then you need to be worried about the negative effect on international opinion let alone the introduction of corruption to NZ's traditionally honest business environment.
I am please to see Mr Lees-Galloway does not think his proposals will solve the problem only help solve it. He needs to keep his labour inspectors working overtime so long as there are people desperate to escape their own countries and get to NZ with its welfare state.
See https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2018/06/12/118097/immigration-and-education-u... a recent MBIE report: "" 27 Indian students who were enrolled at he same postgraduate diploma business course with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology became pregnant. The pregnancies were identified as a "risk trend" among postgraduate international students wanting to speed up the process of obtaining work visas, and/or permanent residency. ""
Hilarious - I do hope whatever chaps are responsible for that in Nelson do the honourable thing and pick up the tab?
By hook or by crook the government need to show they are reducing immigration. The so called exploitation of immigrants can be controlled by other means using existing employment law
This minister like most in the cabinet are not transparent or honest
Alpappy: I would like immigration as per other countries but that is only an opinion; others have said they love immigrants and the more the merrier. They may be turkeys but it is an opinion they are entitled too. However worker exploitation and corruption does exist and not only exists but is widespread (see Prof Stringer's report from 2016). That has to be tackled - it is a matter of morality not opinion.
For the time being I give the minister my support - at least he is willing to admit the problem exists and is his responsibility.
Well no s- Sherlock.
People will generally jump just high enough to get over the bar. Raising the bar from the one foot to two feet isn't going to cut out half the people. It will just take them a moment longer to get over the bar.
Block off all the student to entire family gets residency path ways and you'll see how migrants really value the education they receive from these 2 day a week basket weaving schools.
This govt don't give a damn.
Another day, another story about China taking our water -or- slave run fishing boats in our oceans -or- how it's so difficult to a pen to paper and turn down the immigration tap -or- why it's so difficult to remove some red tape and build a few modern balsa wood and tin houses.
This spineless Lees Galloway man is responsible for letting illegal migrants stay here. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12037904
The minister last month also cancelled the deportation notices of the man's first wife and her children.
He would not say why they had been allowed to stay when immigration rules did not allow for multiple partners or marriages.
How is this not corruption you'd expect to see from someone like Maurice Williamson.
Another corrupt piece of filth is Shane Jones who took bribes from fraudster William Yan and granted him Citizenship. Shane Jones is now part of "NZ First".
With scum like Jones and Galloway pulling the strings there is no hope.

The method of Digital Transformation (DX) is not a new business concept. In fact, it is a process that has been essential to the evolution of businesses since the early 1990's. If you are currently researching DX you may find varying definitions of what Digital Transformation is. In my own investigation comparing various explanations, I have found similar key takeaways. A hybrid description that is a derivative of the key takeaways is as follows:
A strategic journey of planned organizational and operational change that is driven by threats, risk, revenue or competition, empowered by the workforce, and enabled by innovation and technology.
While the framework for successful Digital Transformation will be unique for each business, there are common drivers and barriers to the DX process. It would behoove organizational leaders to explore and prepare for the following listed drivers and barriers (as well as those not listed) as they transform their business.
Drivers of DX:
The success stories of Uber and Lyft upsetting the transportation industry with their on-demand ride sharing framework are commonly used as an illustration of digital disruption. This is because they are a prime example of how strategy and innovation, enabled by technology, can unexpectedly influence the course of an entire industry. Now more than ever, with the constant and speedy evolution of technologies, business leaders should transform the way they think about competition and disruptors of their industry.
As the retirement of baby boomers continues to gain momentum businesses will begin to feel the shift from both a customer perspective and a workforce perspective. As baby boomers, or any generation for that matter, transition into new life stages their expectations, interests and needs from brands and employers will evolve. If companies are not agile and understanding of the changing needs of their target audience, they will struggle to attract and retain customers.
Advanced technology has enabled consumers to share their opinions, experiences and ideas with the masses at the touch of a button. The modern customer values the opinion (user generated content) of strangers over advertisement and has high expectations for overall customer experience. Customers expect fast responses (60 minutes is the average acceptable wait time) from brands, easy access to solutions and tools, self-serve options, customized messaging and they want to always feel valued at each touch point of their journey.
Barriers of DX:
From entry level positions to the C-Suite, the entire workforce plays a critical role in a company's Digital Transformation. According to a study conducted by Dell and Hitachi, 56% of executives surveyed believe that the human aspect is the key to a successful transition. That same study highlights that a third of companies state their largest barrier to DX is the human aspect. These findings tell businesses that the workforce is critical to success yet a big challenge to master. There are many elements that role under the human factor such as;
Challenges that organizations face when it comes to big data is management's lack of understanding and lack of organizational alignment. According to NewVantage Partners, more than 85% of respondents to a survey reported that their firms have started programs to create data-driven cultures but only 37% report success thus far. This indicates that there is awareness of the importance of harnessing data but only a third of companies are capitalizing on big data.
In today's business, operational agility is known by many names such as "lean" or "design thinking". Regardless of what your business calls it, operational agility is key to keeping up in the digital space. Along with having clear vision, strategy and an empowered leadership, an organization needs to be positioned to quickly and efficiently adapt to changes in technology, market trends and customer needs.
Closing Remarks:
After reading these several drivers and barriers to Digital Transformation, you may recognize that DX is not about technology but rather insight, people and process. Oracle CEO Safra Catz once stated, "the hardest part of digital transformation isn't technology—it's managing the business through change…but when organizations embrace digital technology and navigate those changes, they not only meet customers' needs better and empower employees, but do more while spending less."

Actress VANESSA HUDGENS has reached an out-of-court agreement with an obsessed fan who was slapped with a restraining order last month (Nov14)
Junior Kabongo sent the High School Musical star a number of emails detailing his desire to wed her and become a movie star, and he later flew to Los Angeles from his native Africa and was spotted driving up and down Hudgens' street at the start of November (14).
He was slapped with a temporary restraining order, and he has since told Los Angeles police officers it was a cultural misunderstanding and he did not realise his behaviour was harassment.
According to TMZ.com, Hudgens' lawyer Shawn Colley called Kabongo on Thursday (04Dec14), ahead of a hearing to make the order permanent, and Kabongo later signed a legally binding agreement promising to leave the actress alone.

Aaron, afterlife, Afterlife Institutions, Fiction, goth, horror, Kevin, Knightshade Manor, Louis, Raven Knightshade, Simon, Slurgh, Spirits, supernatural
This dear readers, is a glimpse of the first floor of the Manor, these short paragraphs outline the hospital often referred to as a hotel for the benefit of maintaining the illusion of our guests. Please read my introductory letters for each volume for further information. Which leads me to the next concern, some of these tales are dispersed in various volumes that were released periodically in 2005. As a result, I have kept the references to which volumes they can be found, as many of you may already possess copies of the fanzine and not to disappoint, but the tales in the book are richer in detail and more graphic in their portrayals of what transpired within each room.
First Floor
An introduction to the hotel, its staff and tenants; the hotel is quartered into sections and each floor consists of four sections that are portioned off from one another, according to the disorders of the guests. The only exception to this rule is the first floor where the caretakers and housekeeping staff reside. There is the entry hall where the reservations desk is located; this is the only portion of the floor that is open to the guests. Most of the interview sessions that occur between guest and caretaker occur in their room.
Within each of the staff member's quarters are a sleeping chamber, a private bath, a sitting room, an office and whatever else they may desire. As each staff member is eclectic in his or her own way, each quarter is completely unique, including the structure and furnishings. Each chapter that contains a scenario where you the reader are invited to listen in on a conversation deemed appropriate for the public, take notes for you may need to know this staff on a more intimate basis at a future date.
As it is a rare occurrence any of the outbreaks amongst the Staff and the Marians that file is primarily included in the first floor documentation. However the most recent strike involved releasing the residents of the fifth floor into the rest of the Manor.
Aaron's quarters
Aaron takes a stroll through the unused corridors of the fourth floor, where he encounters a homeless alcoholic, four made men watching their bank robbery, and takes a stroll into Atrium West to commence interaction with the inhabitants whose tale is continued in the file Fourth Floor Atrium West.
Ariel's quarters
A Banshee born of the Irish countryside in a time where fairies were alive and active amongst the human residents. Where the residents heeded wee folkes and the voice of the wind that often warned of danger. Her inability to bear children in life, led her to being a caretaker of animals wild and domestic species and was trained as a schoolteacher. In her afterlife, she tends to these same beasts or their kin as well as watching the children who may wander into her forest.
Caroline's quarters
An introduction to the current wife of Simon Knightshade. She is no longer in love with Simon but as they are bound to one another for spiritual reasons, she still resides within that Manor, for she is the mind and creative force that binds the staff and guests to the Manor.
Clara & Marie Office Space
The Siamese Twins psychologists have an office within the Manor of which they utilize when children arrive to the Manor to ascertain whether they are to return to life, or continue onto Kerringer Castle. A brief introduction to these amazingly patient staff members.
Dena's quarters
A brief introduction to the eldest of the current generation of Knightshades. She is the wisest thus the least tolerant of the indiscretions of her family members nor the guests. A private person, she often finds that she inadvertently discovers all of the secrets held within the Manor. Her stoic mannerisms are the only means she can maintain to avoid being assigned family drama which is above and beyond what she desires. She deals with Marion's cleaning around the living, and another dissention amongst the demonic staff, as the amount of guests have increased, and they desire to import more cousins, hiring of the damned.
Dr. Geoffrey Shaw M.D. Pediatrics' Office
As with the other Staff Members who work at the Manor and reside elsewhere, he has an office set up with the variant tools, supplies and machines that span the centuries and adapt to the needs and illusions of the current guest.
Jessica's quarters
A brief introduction to Jessica, a new arrival to the Manor. Her recent death allows for her to still look like one of the living and as a result she is one of the first staff members most guests interact with upon reaching the Manor. A meeting with her cousins, and her first impressions of the Manor are shared in this short description.
Jessica's Chamber and Lobby
As the sun set Jessica is summoned to assist with the guests that just crashed into the afterlife and realm of Knightshade Manor. After receiving orders from Dena, and is informed that she is to welcome new staff as well as several new cases; she is properly introduced, as she invites in new staff members, to assist with the temporary overload of cases, along with her Siamese twin. Two other male Knightshades also arrive, with the intention of a temporary visit, of course it develops into an extended stay for all concerned.
Kevin's quarters
A brief introduction into the chambers of preferences of Kevin Knightshade a cousin of the siblings that reside within the Manor. His afterlife is spent mostly on the roads seeking renegade spirits who are avoiding their final destination. Many of his tales can be found in the upcoming book Dark Highways.
Louis' quarters
A brief introduction into the life and chambers of newly arrived Louis, whose focus is working with guests who were the victims of the renegade spirits who afterlife cause further destruction once they are no longer trapped in a physical body. However, they reek havoc on the lives of those who they harmed in life, until they are caught by the trio of Bounty Hunters. Like his brother, Kevin, many of his tales also can be found in the upcoming book Dark Highways.
Marion or Mary quarters
This is an area in the Manor that houses the housekeeping demons and porters found throughout the afterlife institutions. A short story concerning the daily lives of a few members of this elite housekeeping service.
Raven's Quarters
Having recently returned to the Manor after several months in the field; she has interacted with several patrons and donors of the Manor. Her primary goal was to steer the living away from the Manor, and even visited other sites that would provide better accommodations for some of the living who have chosen to leave their lives at an inopportune time. She has returned to the files, and as before, is clearing out the patients and their misfortunes as quickly as possible, for more guests are arriving each night. My primary goal was to interact and interview potential guests as a means of convincing our patrons that the Manor provided specific services and that their financial contributions were indeed utilized to their fullest potential. My personal primary goal was to seek out the competition and determine if perhaps our guests would be provided better accommodations for some of the living who might be erroneously placed in our care.
Simon's Quarters Volume 1
This is an introduction to Simon, the current owner of the Manor and his son Aaron, a typical evening for the undead caregivers housed within a psychiatric hospital.
Simon's Quarters Volume 3
This is the beginning of a tale of a meeting between Simon and Dena, and the delegation of responsibilities. The main characters are Dena and Simon. She has asked him to check in on one of their oldest inhabitants, someone he is familiar with due to his personal experience with the Moche. Their choice of worship led a few of the sacrificed to the Manor. One of the priests, finds himself linked to his victims, and is brought to the brink of madness each night. This tale is continued as Room 337.
Simon's Chambers Volume 6
This is an introduction to Kevin Knightshade who meets with Simon; Simon has a vision, with the following symbols. Castle, guard forced to watch a young Simon, high-pitched tones a staircase, rusted chains, torture chamber
Slurgh's domain
The Head Demon who oversees all of the Marions and Marians that work within all of the afterlife institutions. He acts as a liasion between the staff and the demons.
Banquet room
Dena meets with Louis, discusses his responsibilities.
Kitchen/Dining Hall
The demons revolt, causing the usual uproar. This sets the staff on edge, Dena handles and after awhile, so does Simon.
Dining Hall
Slurgh offers new twist about the demonic investigation on meat market.
Lobby, First Floor Halls, Gardens
A plane crashes, bringing several guests to the manor. Volume 3 is where a majority of these tales can be found.

VIDEO | Lamborghini Gallardo driven through floodby Garage Mike January 7, 2016
Supercars aren't intended to cross water streams, but recent footage from California shows that doesn't mean they can't.
A weather system well known to Australians, the cross-pacific El Nino has recently dropped unprecedented rain on San Diego and other Californian cities, besieging roads in flood.
While a glaring reason to leave a sports car in the garage, one Lamborghini driver wasn't going to let anything disrupt his journey about town.
Greeted at an intersection with a small lake, the driver takes what seems like the deepest route through the hazard, despite being dwarfed by other cars, to make it out unscathed.
Having air intakes handily located atop the car's rear haunches deliver the car its saving grace, meaning it can ford through with its V10's mouth safely above water.
Whether pure genius or stupidity, it proves some supercars don't mind getting their hair wet after all.

Enter for a chance to win a free Golf Game Tracker/ Journal here!!
So many people give up on golf. The truth is, that golf is difficult. You take a tiny ball and try to hit it 100's of yards with a 3″ wedged shape attached to a rod all while wearing half dress clothes and half sports wear. This is no easy task especially if you haven't taken any lessons, and if you don't play often. Here are the top reason people give up on golf.
The emotional game! 90% of golf is in your head and 99% of golfers will tell you that. If you pay attention, the golfers that are relaxed and just focused on having a good time are usually the guys that don't loose any balls that day. They usually swing smoothly and manage to keep it on the fairway. On the other hand the golfers that put all of their emotion behind their swing end up struggling to keep the ball in play. But of course we have all been the emotional golfer at some point. Here are examples of thoughts that cloud an emotional golfers mind.
"Come on I can out drive them I just have to summon all the power in my body."
"Golfing with the boss, what a great idea we can show them whose really boss."
"Psh they used their 9 Iron, I can hit it that far with my Pitching wedge."
These golfers usually end up getting frustrated time and time again and give up. But hey if you can remember to relax, focus on having fun everything might turn back in your favor.
The over correct! These golfers are fairly easy to spot when your in a group with them. They hit it right on their first shot so they aim left on their second shot, the ball goes too far left they default back to center and are hitting the ball right again. "Maybe if I tee the ball up higher or lower it will go straight." "I should rotate my hands over sooner that'll fix it." They hit a 150 yrd shot with their pitching wedge come up short, then next time hit 150 yrd shot with their 3 wood. (Okay maybe that's an over exaggeration but you get what I mean.) These golfers end up messing with their swing so much that it gets beyond repair without professional help. Just remember be consistent don't keep changing things through out 1 game of golf.
The excuse maker! We all know what this golfer sounds like. Every sentence starts with "If I would have just…". Shortly followed by the eye roll from whom ever they are playing with. I have a friend who I have played tons of golf with. Who will putt and come with in 1 inch of the cup but roll 6 feet past and every time with out fail say "Ah that would have gone in I'm counting that". Its the excuse to cheat, which in the end doesn't help them because they are not improving their game. So the lesson is don't give an excuse every time something goes wrong, accept that it was a crappy shot and move on.
The over Practice Golfer! I am guilty of this one for sure. From experience I can tell you this golfer makes it a point to do at least 1 thing involving golf every day. Hitting a bucket of balls, playing 9 holes, buying something new to practice, one new club a week. This golfer always has something to report, "I got a new" "I played every day" "I hit 2 buckets before you got here". This golfer has 20 new tips to remember every round of golf and knows exactly when when forget to use one of the new tips.

Last month WordPress 3.4 was released. Clients have been asking me if it is safe to update the core themes (Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven) that are the default WordPress Themes. Here I'll teach you what you need to know.
Why Update the Twenty Ten or Twenty Eleven theme?
Updating the core themes may add new functionality to your website. Last month WordPress 4.0 was released. With it came Custom Headers and a Theme Customizer. Updating the core WordPress themes will add these new features. You can read more about the WordPress 3.4 enhancements here.
Why Hesitate?
If you are using one of the core themes and you have made modifications to the theme files updating will overwrite your changes and your website will revert to the standard theme appearance. Your modifications will be lost.
Child themes are the recommended way of making modifications to a theme.
What is a Child Theme?
A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme, and allows you to modify, or add to, the functionality of that parent theme.
When the parent theme is updated, your modifications are preserved.
What is your current theme?
Determine what theme is the currently active theme — Go to -> Appearances -> Themes
Is it safe to update the theme?
- If the Twenty Ten or the Twenty Eleven theme are not active the updates won't affect your website appearance — go ahead and update the themes
- If you are using the Twenty Ten or the Twenty Eleven theme and you have not modified the theme files in any way — go ahead and update the themes
- If you are using a child theme of the Twenty Ten or the Twenty Eleven theme your modifications are — go ahead and update the themes
- If you are using the Twenty Ten or the Twenty Eleven theme as your active theme and you've modified the theme — don't update the themes. You need to move your modifications to a child theme before updating
If you found this post helpful, please let me know by adding a comment below.

Internet dating is extremely well-liked nowadays. But, because simple since it appears, not really associated with males truly flourish in attempting to appeal to ladies on the internet. We will consider this particular!
To tell the truth, We had been asking yourself steps to start that certain. As well as We lastly first got it. We wager, you have anticipated a summary of things you can do… however absolutely no, we will make a move various. Let us picture exactly what it is such as to become a lady within an online dating service…
When you're inside a membership, browse around. The number of truly appealing ladies have been in presently there? Ladies which are stunning, possess their own behave collectively and therefore are wise. Most likely just a couple of.
Right now appear nearer — they're obtaining a lot of interest. Everyone is actually taking a look at all of them; the majority of males want to strategy all of them (all using the exact same mindset, exactly the same lines) as well as and so on.
Same task is going on on the internet, however actually faster as well as increased. Exact same men, using the exact same information, using the exact same communications tend to be striking on her behalf, over and over. I will not provide good examples, however which may be the actual information you have delivered to which warm girl upon which website the other day.
Check, over and over before you acquire some constant outcomes!
Add photos.
Your own photos should convey your look as well as course. Despite the fact that the majority of males do not have individuals characteristics (truth is actually unpleasant a few times). As well as add high-quality photos, not really a few grainy old-movie such as.
Avoid what's dull as well as over-used. Absolutely no nude photos, absolutely no keeping infants as well as etc. Do not brag together with your photos. Displaying your own new trip inside a user profile is much like referring to your own "great" work on the day.
Give a completing contact. Allow it to be advanced in ways. Attempt to mach from the actual heading and also the advert by itself, with the photos. Should you authored a tale for the day at someplace, publish an image about this. If you're performing some thing severe, catch this as well as add this.
Desire a person good fortune!

Hello beautiful people! Learning how to protect and love my hair has been a struggle growing up, but now as a 24 year old woman I am so in love with my natural hair!

The 10th anniversary edition of The Graveyard Book includes a foreword by Margaret Atwood as well as sketches from the illustrator, handwritten drafts, and Neil Gaiman's Newbery acceptance speech. This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, especially during homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom.
Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in the graveyard for a boy—an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible Sleer. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family.
The Graveyard Book, a modern classic, is the only work ever to win both the Newbery (US) and Carnegie (UK) medals.

"The Graveyard Book, by turns exciting and witty, sinister and tender, shows Gaiman at the top of his form. In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment." - New York Times Book Review
"Like a bite of dark Halloween chocolate, this novel proves rich, bittersweet and very satisfying." - Washington Post
"Wistful, witty, wise—and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This is an utterly captivating tale that is cleverly told through an entertaining cast of ghostly characters. There is plenty of darkness, but the novel's ultimate message is strong and life affirming….this is a rich story with broad appeal. " - Booklist (starred review)
"Lucid, evocative prose and dark fairy-tale motifs imbue the story with a dreamlike quality. …this ghost-story-cum-coming-of-age-novel as readable as it is accomplished." - Horn Book (starred review)
"This is, quite frankly, the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written. How he has managed to combine fascinating, friendly, frightening and fearsome in one fantasy I shall never know, but he has pulled it off magnificently - perfect for Halloween and any other time of the year." - Diana Wynne Jones, author of The Chronicles of Chrestomanci
"I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it." - Garth Nix, author of The Abhorsen Trilogy
"It takes a graveyard to raise a child. My favorite thing about this book was watching Bod grow up in his fine crumbly graveyard with his dead and living friends. The Graveyard Book is another surprising and terrific book from Neil Gaiman." - Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife
"After finishing The Graveyard Book, I had only one thought — I hope there's more. I want to see more of the adventures of Nobody Owens, and there is no higher praise for a book." - Laurell K. Hamilton, author of the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels
"The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will love it to death." - Holly Black, co–creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles
"The Graveyard Book manages the remarkable feat of playing delightful jazz riffs on Kipling's classic Jungle Books. One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it's much bigger within than it looks from the outside." - Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn
The Graveyard Book is everything everyone loves about Neil Gaiman, only multiplied many times over, a novel that showcases his effortless feel for narrative, his flawless instincts for suspense, and above all, his dark, almost silky sense of humor. - Joe Hill, author of Heart–Shaped Box

Besides, while I understand the thrust of your point, the persistence of the human race isn't really a historical event. It's just status quo, and it's not unique to the 20th century, either.
Stanislav Yefgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станислав Евграфович Петров) (born c. 1939) is a retired Russian Army colonel who, on September 26, 1983, averted a potential nuclear war by refusing to believe that the United States had launched missiles against the USSR, despite the indications given by his computerized early warning systems. The Soviet computer reports were later shown to have been in error, and Petrov is credited with preventing World War III and the devastation of much of the Earth by nuclear weapons. Because of military secrecy and international policy, Petrov's actions were kept secret until 1998.
What a good argument Snake. *applauds*
The tsars suck. I hate Nicholas and the rest of his Romanov family. I like Rasputin though (my friend Grigori).
SlickSlicer wrote:1.) I'm not socialist. Just because I admire certain socialists and don't like capitalism doesn't make me personally of the socialist party.
3.) What have humans done that was so great besides mass-exterminating hundreds of species and mistreating each other? Clearly the vast majority of humans are evil or non-caring or else the world would be a much, better place.
SlickSlicer wrote:This man prevented world war III and quite possibly the end to humanity. I would go back in time and do what I could to stop this continuation. Actually though it might not be the best plan because nuclear armageddon might also destroy other things than humans, which might be bad. Still though, I thought I'd just mention that guy because he deserves more credit and acknowledgement than most of the famous characters in history get. Maybe instead of initiating the final solution for humanity I should just go back in time and make some speech about him to people of the United States so he could get a holiday instead.

Peripheral Artery Disease
What is it?
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a disease of the arteries outside the heart and brain. PAD affects about 8 million Americans, including 12% to 20% of women and men aged 65 or older.1
Common early symptoms of PAD are cramping, heaviness, fatigue, pain or discomfort in the legs or buttocks during activity, called intermittent claudication. However, not all people with PAD have symptoms: in one study of 933 disabled women older than 65, 63% of those with PAD had no leg pain with activity.4
The standard test for diagnosing PAD is a simple comparison of blood pressure measurements in the arm and leg called the Ankle Brachial Index, or ABI. If your ABI number is low (less than 0.9), other imaging tests may be needed.
How is it related to stroke?
Like CAD, PAD is related to stroke because they are both a result of the same disease process: atherosclerosis. In PAD, the fatty buildup blocks circulation in arteries leading to the kidneys, stomach, legs, arms, or feet. PAD is often the first sign of atherosclerosis that is affecting the arteries of your heart and brain as well, and could eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.
How does it affect my stroke risk?
Compared to those without PAD, people with PAD have 4 to 5 times the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease.5 Overall, studies indicate that PAD increases your chances of suffering a stroke by about 40%.5
PAD is generally accepted to be a risk factor for stroke in both women and men, although so far evidence from clinical trials linking PAD to stroke risk in women is lacking. The ARIC study of more than 15,000 people (55% were women) found that men with PAD in the legs were 4 to 5 times as likely to have a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), but there was no significant difference in stroke risk between women with and without PAD after adjustment for other factors.6 These results suggest that, at least in women, PAD may not increase stroke risk on its own; rather, PAD and stroke share enough risk factors that a woman with one disease is likely to be at high risk for the other.
What can I do to prevent stroke?
Despite being a very common disease, only 1 out of every 4 people with PAD are undergoing treatment.7 PAD often goes undiagnosed, so it is important to go to your doctor with any symptoms that could signal PAD—pain in your legs or buttocks with activity that goes away with rest is not a normal part of aging. Since PAD can be the first sign of widespread artery disease, you should consider it an opportunity to get your risk factors under control before they lead to a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.
Like CAD, PAD shares many risk factors for stroke, and the treatments that are recommended for relieving your PAD symptoms and preventing the disease from getting any worse will also help lower your stroke risk. The most important things are to quit smoking (80% of people with PAD are smokers), control your diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure, and make lifestyle changes such as eating a diet low in saturated fat and starting an exercise regimen. You may also start taking blood-thinning medication to prevent the formation of clots that can lead to a stroke. Medication is also available to relieve some of the leg pain caused by PAD.
