Deadites separated Jason into two different entities! They needed his power.
His dead part became independent, and left his human part behind!
Jason recovered from the lightning strike just to see his double walk away.
His mother seemed to guide the other Jason. He decided to follow them.
After following and observing his double...
Jason trapped the imposter as he returned to Camp Crystal Lake
The two Jasons were staring at each other as the tension built up.
They were about to engage in a battle that would leave only one of them standing.
After an epic fight, the imposter was finally at his mercy.
He had stolen his mother's love, he wouldn't let him get away with that.
Jason was about to deliver the final strike until,
he was interrupted by a voice: "Hey retard, right here!"
A strange little doll was standing there, taunting him.
"So you're the strongest huh? Hihihi! Come to papa!"
Story ModeEdit
Opponents Fought In OrderEdit
- Tall Man
- Matt Cordell
- Ash
- Zombies
- Chucky
- Herbert West
- Leatherface
- Freddy Krueger
- Candyman
- Michael Myers
- Ghostface
- Pumpkinhead
- Pinhead
- Undead Jason Voorhees
Connections to Other CharactersEdit
- Classic Jason was introduced in version 2.5.
- Jason's belt is grey because of developer's mistake. It's supposed to be brown. When Fabien Rixens (modeler and animator) finished model of Classic Jason, he sent him to Marc Echave (the leader, modeler and animator). But since Marc uses 3DS Max software (Fabien uses Maya), there was an issue with the texture of the belt. Since Marc didn't notice it, he started rigging the model and later animating it. When finally it was noticed that the belt has no texture (hence it's grey), there was no sense to turn back and render again animations.
- Along with the Tall Man, Jason is able to switch the weapon to either axe or pitchfork, changing his playstyle and special moves.
- Along with Freddy and Leatherface, he is Terrordrome character that made an official video game appearance in Mortal Kombat X (Freddy in Mortal Kombat 9).
- His Helper Harpoon and his Grab and Crush Head are both kills he performed in Friday the 13th Part III. His Pitchfork, Poker, and Hatchet are also kills from Friday the 13th Part lll.
- It is believed that Classic Jason's Grab and Throw originates from when he throw's Rick's corpse through a window in Friday the 13th Part III.
- Jason's mask can be knocked off when he gets KOed just like in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
- Classic Jason Voorhees is very obviously based on his appearance from Part 3. His Mask does not yet have the Axe Mark at the end of Part 3 and all of attacks are from Part 3.

Spaceport America and ESRA Joint Statement Regarding Spaceport America Cup 2020 and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Many teams have been asking about Spaceport America Cup 2020 and the effects of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. We are aware that many teams across the world are impacted by school closures, travel restrictions, and other precautions to limit the spread of this virus. Spaceport America and the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA) continue to monitor events with respect to the outbreak.
At this time, we are not cancelling the Spaceport America Cup competition; however, we are meeting weekly to discuss and take appropriate actions as global events unfold. Please see the linked press release and we will post updates if the competition is affected.
Congratulations to the 150 teams chosen to compete in the 2020 Spaceport America Cup!
For the complete list of teams and team IDs, please see the PDF file on the Spaceport America Cup 2020 event page.
Below is the breakdown of team locations and competition categories.
Hello Rocketeers!
The Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA) is hard at work getting ready for the 2020 Spaceport America Cup. We have some important updates for you to be aware of outlined below:
ESRA and Spaceport America are very excited for these changes. We also recognize that change can take some getting used to. We ask for your patience during this transition. We'll work closely with you and the HeroX to resolve any technical issues.

2019 Team Announcement Delays
Prospective 2019 IREC Teams,
Thank you for your patience thus far as you wait to find out the teams accepted into this year's competition. While we'd hoped to have this list for you today, an overwhelming number of applications and some uncontrollable circumstances among our volunteer force have set us back a day or two. We assure you we are finalizing the list a we speak and will have it posted for you by this coming weekend. Thank you again for your patience and your support for this unique event.
– The ESRA Team
Following mishaps which occurred at the 2018 TRA BALLS launch. The Tripoli Rocket Association (TRA) have issued a temporary moratorium on hosting Class III projects by unlicensed university students at it's launches. Although ESRA is not a chapter of TRA, and the SA Cup is not a TRA launch event, ESRA leadership have chosen to respect TRA's decision by deferring consideration of hosting any non-competing Class III demonstration flights at the 2019 SA Cup until after TRA conclude their investigation and publish new recommendations on this subject. ESRA leadership will likely have an opportunity to review these materials as they are drafted, and anticipate their publication sometime around the new year. This situation only impacts non-competing demonstration flights whose total installed impulse exceeds the FAA Class II Amateur Rocket Limitation Defined in Section 2.3 of the IREC Rules & Requirements Document (greater than 40,960 N-s), or whose predicted apogee exceeds 100,000 ft AGL. We regret the inconveniences we know this will cause, but expect our community to benefit from the experience in the long run. The lessons learned and guidance generated in this exercise should pave a clearer path forward which, if followed, will lead to greater confidence in and support for current and future university teams which carry out these ambitions responsibly.
2019 Spaceport America Cup Updates
Hello Potential 2019 IREC Teams,
It is the time of year when it is starting to get cold outside, which means it is time to start thinking about launching rockets in the desert. The 2019 Spaceport America Cup will be held June 18th-22nd and there is lots to do to prepare. ESRA wants to let you know about the important dates for deliverables from students' teams to participate in this year's competition.
This is where ESRA will make all major announcements. Please check in often and give us your feedback!! Feel free to use the Category and Archive option below to sort through posts.

Cast all your paperwork on Him...or something like that!
I know that it could still be months before our fingerprints come back, and I thought they would be what is holding us up but honestly, this paper work is taking way longer than I expected! I am usually someone that just bulldozes my way through it but with all the extra paper work that appeared on our plate (visa, school etc) I have let this take a bit of a back seat.
I know that the orientation and the training will bring adoption stuff back to the fore front of our minds and actions, where we want it to be, so until then I think we can work hard to get the other stuff finished and out of the way.
We celebrated our anniversary a day belated because j had been away on business until late on Monday (Although he did walk through the door with a beautiful bouquet of coloured roses in hand!). We ate at a restaurant called 50 North here in Seattle. It was beyond tasty. Oh my goodness! We do not eat out that often, especially now as we are saving to bring our baby home, but I think we try to appreciate the chance to focus on each other without distraction. We know it won't be this easy forever. We are excited to take a little one out to eat but it will be different. So until then, we appreciate what we have.
It was a special evening, and fun to relive the last couple of years. What have we learned, where have we grown, how are we different? Two years ago, we had no idea that our journey would look the way it has. We could never have dreamed we would have had the strength to walk the path that our marriage has taken. But we have. God has been shaping and molding us. Loving us each step of the way. I know He will continue to be there through the mountains of paperwork and 'to do' lists all the way to our child(ren). It feels good to let go and give all the uncertainty to him.
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

IQ4 suddenly not working
- 18 comments

This would be great if the IQ4 would allow setting the box to 2160p. Sadly the IQ4 is "smart" enough to know better than you whether the TV supports 4K. In my case, with a valid 4K UHD TV (Sony Bravia KD55X8500B) the IQ4 does not allow me to select 2160p since it has decided imy TV doesn't support the IQ4's rules.
C'mon Foxtel... Treat your customers as thinking individuals and open up to what is really going on.
BTW I am currently paying $29 a month for Sports + HD with an IQ4 and still don't see the value. Cancelling at the end of the subs period!
Just encountered the 4K unsupported error. Changing the picture setting to auto or 2160 gets 4K channel back BUT picture quality on all other HD channels is now poor. I'm leaving picture setting on 1080i which is very good. Just can't view 4K channel without changing picture setting. Solution would be to restore the previous software update!
07-05-2019 05:33 PM - edited 07-05-2019 05:36 PM
I have the same issue. I have a Sharp 4K TV (2160p, 60 Hz, HDCP 2.2) and watched 4K Foxtel with no problems until Feb. I am happily watching 4K on Apple 4K and Netflix. I now get the 0446 message. I have written to Foxtel and have had hours of technician assistance and two new HDMI cables!!!! (from Foxtel) When I go to advanced settings - picture settings on the IQ4 it is stuck to Auto - won't change. Under hardware it says fail on 4K but HDCP 2.2!!!! I have lost count of the number of reboots!!!! They even gave me a new IQ4 - but same problem!!!
I have had two Foxtel technicians here who were both perplexed. They thought it was a firmware issue with Foxtel as the box should move off Auto, and my advance technical assistance from Foxtel phone's me weekly to check if it is working as my TV is fully compatible and the HDMI cable is plugged direct into it (ie - not via an amplifier - that is on the TV out side). He is great but what can he do if the firmware is faulty.
Foxtel state that it is really odd!!!! It is obvious to me that they have stuffed up the Firmware update and won't admit it. They are therefore not providing the service for which they advertise and I am contracted
My next step is to write to the ACCC and put Foxtel in breach of their 4K service. I would strongly suggest everyone else who has been impacted by Foxtel's firmware mistake do the same as they are clearly not providing the service for which they have advertised. I am aware from Foxtel that they are doing another update in a few months (base don the last one I wouldn't hold my breath that this would fix it) but surely it would be simpler to just reverse their mistake.
Hi we get this 4K unsupported error problems since the last day or two. 9 & 10th May 2019.
Very frustrating as it pops up when we push the Stop button of a recording and then want to delete it. The error message sits over the top of the displayed recordings and appears to lock up the Back button function. Have to get right out of the menus to get back to where we were 😞
We don't have a 4K TV at this time, just a high quality SONY Bravia HD TV in 1080p. All worked very well for months.
It is really starting to annoy us now. We have been enjoying the iQ4 box with Satellite for a few month but now the enjoyment is hampered by the error screen popping up when we have watched a recording pushed the Stop button and now simply want to delete it and select the next recording.
This error message popping up problem appears to many users - so hopefully Foxtel will do something about it quickly.

@bozza @
I agree not everything is perfect but compared to FTA TV it is just so much better, especially the way the EPG works and the whole recording process. I like the way the iQ4 box works compared to the older iQ2.
With FTA we do about 1 or 2 records a day and lately it takes so long for the data to appear on the commercial channels EPG's that I just give up and program it manually.
So Foxtel do a good job imho and I used to work for the FTA TV industry but am so disappointed now with the lack of service to the viewers. I know how to refresh and tickle along the EPG to make it work better but even those tricks hardly work now on our Panasonic DVD/HDD recorders. Between 6pm and midnight the data hardly ever appears or you have to wait for ever. Who enters the data to be sent to the multiplexers whose combined o/p is transmitted to customers? Who monitors that it is all working correctly, like we used to have to do. Who cares about viewers?
I think Foxtel do a far better job that the FTA commercial TV industry 🙂
I just started receiving this message today in relation to Bloomberg (Ch. 650).
I don't have a 4K TV and there is no 4K option in the menu. I just want to watch Bloomberg which cannot be accessed on the web app.

Atlético Madrid will take on Real Jaén in the first round of the Copa del Rey in which teams from the Liga BBVA are also included.
The Andalusians are 1 of 31 teams we will need to beat if we want to lift the King's Cup on the 18th of May.
Real Jaén, who featured in Spain's top flight three times during the '50s, are currently in second position in the Segunda División B.
They will host Atleti on the 31st of October at the Nuevo Estadio de La Victoria de Jaén. Four weeks later the return leg will be played at the Vicente Calderón.
It will be a chance for Diego Simeone to bring the cup back to the Manzanares. Atlético, runners-up two years ago, haven't won the tournament since 1996, when Cholo and his team-mates beat Barcelona 1-0 through a single goal by Milinko Pantic in extra time.
Last season, during Simeone's first campaign in charge, the Colchoneros were already knocked out before the Argentine took over. With Gregorio Manzano still at the helm we were defeated twice by Albacete and eliminated after just a single round.
This year the RFEF decided to complete the entire draw for cup, which means we already know Atlético will avoid Athletic Club, Barcelona, Málaga, Real Madrid and Valencia until the final – granted we make it that far – as all five of these contenders are on the other side of the bracket.
Before Atleti get that far, we would have to beat either Ponferradina or Getafe over two games in the middle of December.
Next up would be the team that makes it out of the Racing/Las Palmas vs. Rayo Vallecano and Valladolid vs. Betis ties.
You can find a full diagram of this year's Copa del Rey draw here.
What do you think of Atlético's chances in the Copa del Rey this year?

Senior Communities
Senior Communities Can Foster New Friendships
There are several reasons that can explain the benefits of senior communities. One of the best reasons for taking a look into the option of a senior community remains the simple that they are what they are. But, what are they? They are a place where someone can be themselves without having make others worry for their wellbeing or general welfare.
Another good reason why someone might want to look into the option of a senior living community is the question where are they. The answer to that one is very simple. They are everywhere and can be found from coast to coast in highly or scarcely populated areas.
Now, the question of what they can offer is complex and varies from establishment to establishment. But, a hand full or so of good reasons why they are not just a valid choice but an exceptional one in some cases may help to explain it all. And, they all make good common sense.
There comes a point where conserving energy is not a good idea, it is a matter of safety and really just good common sense in a senior's life. Because retirement communities offer units of varying space with no homeowner responsibilities, they are extremely beneficial to live in.
With many of the housekeeping and personal services offered with retirement communities, the reality of living in a healthy environment is more achievable than ever. On top of this healthy living environment, there is the safety aspect of living in a retirement community that goes beyond "stranger danger", because accidents can happen in the home. But, with institutional and social connections embedded within a neighborhood, looking out for one another keeps the chances of accidents becoming tragedies down and low.
Moreover, one of the best reasons for living in a retirement community is the transportation programs and opportunities that are available through many of them. They can includes bus couriers that take residents to the grocery store, medical facilities or other places.

Sword of Islam
Jump to navigation Jump to search
| This article is a Stub, which means that it does not sufficiently cover its subject matter.
Please help expand this article if you can.
The Sword of Islam is the first major expansion for CKII. With it came the second major content update, 1.06. The update itself contained many of the features closely related to SoI, such as Muslim Decadence and polygamy.
It was released on June 26, 2012. The launch price was $9.99.
Additions of Expansion
The DLC part of the expansion merely unlocks the ability to play as Muslims; all the content was contained in the 1.06 patch.
Previously, you could play as Muslims through education or console commands, but they played almost identical to Christians.
In the expansion, many new features were added to make Muslims more interesting.
- Decadence - This increases as you have more unlanded males in your family. High decadence leads to big problems for your nation, such as Tribal Invasions and weaker levies. To solve this penalty, the player must imprison, execute or assassinate male relatives; Muslim characters gain no infamy from imprisoning brothers. Once decadence reaches high levels, a tribe of "desert warriors" spawn to take over the decadent dynasty's realm.
- Laws - Laws now cost Piety to change as a Muslim. In addition, Muslim characters are unable to change succession laws.
- Polygamy - Muslims may have up to four wives. A Muslim is expected to have one extra wife per level of title, starting at the count level, and capped at the king level. Having less than the expected results in a monthly prestige drop while having more than the expected is a prestige gain. This gives off huge amount of sons, which in-turn multiply, causing huge amounts of decadence if not imprisoned or assassinated.
- Agnatic Open succession - a Muslim's most powerful son will take over for him. This comes at a cost of being locked into this succession law, however.
- Muslim Invasion CB. All Muslims can conquer a single province at the cost of piety. In addition, Muslims are capable of declaring war on any Muslims not of their exact branch of Islam (if the target is not in a holy war with infidels.

The 1990s courtroom movie A Few Good Men was a chance for Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore and others to get their teeth into the meatiest of roles. The action in this stage version of the film, from Beam Theatre, centres on the trial of two US Marines charged with the death of one of their colleagues in Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, and how the internal affairs people try to get to the bottom of it. Was it a prank gone wrong or were the Marines following orders to get rid of a weakling? More importantly did the top brass not only cover the matter up but also engineer it?
The script is by Aaron Sorkin who went on to write TV's The West Wing. The talk is fast back-and-forth with a great deal of gallows humour. The plot is given urgency in the light of Chelsea Manning's recent presidential pardon and the stiffs with which President Trump has surrounded himself in the White House.
And, talking of stiff, the audience is seated on red, white and blue plastic swivel seats (a big ask for more than two hours) set in the centre of a tennis-court-sized space with the action taking place around the edge of the floor. To quote Mel Brooks this is not theatre-in-the-round but theatre-in-the-square – no one has a good seat. This imaginative configuration works well for the most part until the action moves to the other end of the room.
This tremendous play (and tremendously assured production) is essentially about lies and loyalty – the blind loyalty of the Marines to "unit, corps, God, country"; the old boy officers' loyalty to each other and the lawyers' loyalty to no one.
It's a fast-moving script with a huge ensemble cast and it's easy to get slightly lost in the welter of surnames and forget who is precisely who. But all the actors turn in terrific performances. Shout outs include Michael Davies as the cynical Kaffee and Abbye Eva as his pedantic, box ticking nemesis. (The American accents and intonations are flawless.) Director Andra Roston pulls off a fantastic job in keeping everything hurtling along and never missing a beat.

Haris, Babar strike centuries to help Pakistan post big totalArchive
DUBAI: A career-best hundred from Haris Sohail and a maiden century from Babar Azam helped Pakistan post a big total to boost their chances of a series-levelling win against New Zealand in the second Test in Dubai on Sunday.
Haris contributed a snail-paced 147 in a marathon stay of nine hours and 34 minutes while Babar made an unbeaten 127 to steer Pakistan to an imposing 418-5 declared on day two at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
New Zealand negotiated nine overs without losing a wicket for 24 under lights in overcast conditions before umpires called off the day with two overs remaining.
Opener Jeet Raval was unbeaten on 17 with three boundaries while his partner Tom Latham was five not out.
With the Dubai stadium pitch starting to turn ace leg-spinner Yasir Shah could be the key to Pakistan gaining a big first innings lead on Monday.
New Zealand, who lead the series 1-0 after a sensational four-run win in the first Test in Abu Dhabi last week, still trail by 394 runs with all 10 wickets intact.
Haris improved on his previous best of 110 scored against Australia at the same venue last month while Azam passed his previous best of 99, against Australia in Abu Dhabi last month.
The left-hander from Sialkot added an invaluable 186 runs for the fifth wicket with Babar as the two frustrated the New Zealand's attack in the first two sessions.
The Pakistani batsmen added 82 between lunch and tea, scoring faster than in any of the previous sessions.
But Haris needed 309 deliveries to reach three figures and then waved his bat toward the dressing room, apparently pointing to his team-mate Azhar Ali, run out after a mix-up with Haris on Saturday's first day for 81.
Haris was finally dismissed soon after tea, caught behind off paceman Trent Boult. In all he faced 421 balls and hit 13 boundaries.
Babar ably supported Haris and hit 12 boundaries and two sixes. He added 58 for the sixth wicket with skipper Sarfraz Ahmed who made a bright 30 not out.
Babar later told reporters it was a big relief getting to the elusive Test hundred after falling for nervous nineties.
"It's a big relief to score first century," a relieved Babar said. "Since my childhood I used to hear that scoring a Test hundred is above everything so it was a dream to score a hundred in a Test.
"We are in a good position and if we get early wickets tomorrow (Monday] in the first session then we would be able to get a good lead and then go on to win the Test."
Pakistan, resuming at 207-4, needed a big partnership to put pressure on New Zealand and Haris and Babar responded well.
Medium-pacer Colin de Grandhomme was miserly in taking two wickets for 44 in 30 overs with 11 maidens while left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, who took seven wickets in the first Test, only one wicket for 120 in 39 overs.
PAKISTAN (1st Innings, overnight 207-4):
Imam-ul-Haq c Latham b de G'homme 9
M. Hafeez c Latham b de G'homme 9
Azhar Ali run out 81
Haris Sohail c Watling b Boult 147
Asad Shafiq c Wagner b Patel 12
Babar Azam not out 127
Sarfraz Ahmed not out 30
TOTAL (for five wkts decl, 167 overs) 418
DID NOT BAT: Bilal Asif, Yasir Shah, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Abbas.
BOWLING: Boult 34-7-106-1; de Grandhomme 30-11-44-2; Wagner 37-12-63-0 (1nb); Patel 39-5-120-1; Sodhi 22-1-63-0; Williamson 5-0-20-0.
NEW ZEALAND (1st Innings):
J.A. Raval not out 17
T.W.M. Latham not out 5
TOTAL (for no wkt, 9 overs) 24
TO BAT: K.S. Williamson, L.R.P.L. Taylor, H.M. Nicholls, B.J. Watling, C. de Grandhomme, I.S. Sodhi, N. Wagner, A.Y. Patel, T.A. Boult.
BOWLING (to-date): Mohammad Abbas 2--0-8-0; Hasan Ali 2-1-4-0; Mohammad Hafeez 2-1-1-0; Yasir Shah 2-0-9-0; Bilal Asif 1-1-0-0.

Healing from Within – Using the Elements to Decipher Your Personality
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Host: Sheryl Glick R.M.T.
Special Guest: Dondi Dahlin
In Healing From Within your host Sheryl Glick author of Life is No Coincidence and my second book The Living Spirit and just concluding New Life Awaits…the three books discuss awakening, transformation and higher consciousness and finally transitioning to our purest form of soul life. Today I am delighted to welcome Dondi Dahlin author of The Five Elements who brings the wisdom of an ancient healing system to people who are interested in knowing themselves better and to understand the individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genetic structure and upbringing.
Dondi will share a greater understanding of the elements: water wood fire earth and metal, an important theme in ancient Chinese medicine
As listeners of Healing From Within know my guests and I share our experiences and ways to view life beyond merely the physical aspects of life to determine how energy and Universal Laws encourage our personal and collective life journey and also the role of duality in understanding ourselves, our families, and world for greater clarity and for creating our most healthy prosperous and purposeful life experience.
In today's episode of Healing From Within we will attempt to answer…. "Why we do the things we do…"and how understanding the elements of our physical world help us stay balanced physically mentally spiritually and emotionally. Dondi is an internationally acclaimed dancer teacher and member of Screen Actors Guild. She is the co-author of The Little Book of Energy Medicine with her Mother Donna Eden and teaches at the OMEGA Institute in New York.
Dondi shares with us in her childhood she was observant and free to explore nature and energy and her wonderful mother and energy healer was open minded open hearted and allowed Dondi to find her own spiritual gifts and express her joy through dance.
When Dondi refers to The Five Elements," she is describing an ancient health art and science. The Five Elements are both a personality type' system and a health system and they are profound. This system has been used in China for over 2000 years and help people navigate their way through life and relationships. When someone discovers what their primary element is and what their friends and family are, a person will have less stress in interactions because they will have found a road map for all of their relationships.
Drawing from many psychological and spiritual systems to make sense of human differences the most ancient of them the Chinese Five Element theory is like having a pair of special glasses that allows you to peer into the deep workings of what you see on the surface, so when you witness people either flowing as a team, or fighting like enemies, you can gain a bit of understanding about what drives them. It is the intensity of their element or inner being more attuned to certain ways of relating to the world that makes them easier for some to get along with then others. It is like the law of attraction we are more comfortable with those more in tune with our values and ideas and indeed, energy resonance.
While each of us contains all 5 elements one or a combination will be dominate you and you will vibrate more easily with people environments and activities whose element matches your own. Two very different aspects of human experience are explained by the elements. First is your basic nature and second is that in the human life cycle we travel through periods or phases that are analogous to the elements of seasons of nature. For example the element of water corresponds with the season of winter, wood with spring, fire with summer, earth with the time of the solstice or equinox and metal with autumn.
Dondi shares detailed descriptions or characteristics of each of the different element signs… water, wood, fire earth and metal.
The cafes in Paris and the urban coffee houses in America are magnets for them and the hookah lounges in the Middle East are packed…Waters love lounging with good friends and waxing about all that is right and wrong with the world. The deeper the conversation is the better. They are your most alluring poets, your wisest writers, your most hypnotizing musicians and your sagest philosophers. Life can look warped to a Water who tends to live deep within themselves where they feel secluded and alone. Imagine diving into a swimming pool and opening your eyes under water to look up. You can see the sides of the pool and even the people but everything seems distorted. This is how life can seem to a Water…With their unending thoughts they can be prone to depression and then everything can be exaggerated and look like a very different reality than the reality of others.
Wood people often get the fuzzy end of the lollipop because they are often misunderstood as harsh or intimidating. They are actually funny and kind but they wield a lot of power and they are often honest to a fault. Woods are fearless. They are like the sudden expansive growth of spring after a long slow winter. Woods lead with determination and will that surpasses all limits. Wood people also see the bigger picture find solutions seek out the best in things and make changes. They are strong sturdy stable fearless logical reasonable bold independent and unapologetic. They are also fair minded and nothing upsets them more than injustices. This makes them powerful
Is there a person at work or among your friends who seems to always be happy joyful or excited all the time. You know: They walk into a room with a huge smile almost dancing as they walk. There is an uplifting lively rhythm to their existence and they seem to not get stuck in the muck that slows down the rest of us. Life is a party and living is a ball. Pleasure fun and anything that feels good is what Fires are drawn to, However Fires often abandon people or events that lack excitement passion romance and fun. They are loyal and dedicated until something doesn't feel good and then they move on to the more pleasurable experience. They may end up being serial monogamists. It may also seem like a Fire Person loves everyone and their love isn't special or sincere. They can appear to be everyone's best friend. Fires are constantly chasing the next shiny object. When faced with displeasure from others a Fire's joy can turn to panic.
Earth's are the angels of compassion and caring. Earth people almost always have children but if they don't they will pour their love into caring for animals or teaching children. They will also pour their love into their relationships. If you know an Earth Person you have probably received homemade bread, a pie some chicken soup or a hand stitched quilt..Their nurturing nature comes from deep within their heart and shows itself through generosity. They quilt sew garden cook or paint so they can give handmade gifts. They want to make you feel comfortable safe and to know you are loved. They want to give to the whole world. Deep inside they are hoping for love in return.
The Metal way is a reverent way. The Metal person is a master at meeting life where it is at and rising above it. They are above the fray of it's up and downs and never get too ruffled. Metals are spiritual seekers often looking to the next guru or to the next mind-body spirit connection. If the most spiritually elevated gurus are in India that is where the Metal will go. the next mind-body spirit connection. If the most spiritually elevated gurus are in India that is where the Metal will go. There is no argument no debate they will go quietly to find one on one connections with others who seem to also be on their path of higher consciousness. The Metal will say "farewell," and move on to something and someone at the level they require. It can feel cold and detached but for the Metal it is a path of the highest respect for themselves and their journey.
Dondi goes on to tell us a bit about her background and how it lead to researching and writing about the ancient Chinese Personality system of The Five Elements. Dondi's mother Donna Eden is a well known healer who works with the nine energy systems in the body. You can think of the energy systems much like the other systems: the endocrine system, the lymphatic system and the nervous system. All of these systems help the body and mind to stay healthy, well and vibrant. In growing up with these systems my sister and I gravitated and resonated with one that became our passion…Chinese medicine …The Five Elements. By the time I was in my 20's the Five Elements system was helping me figure out my boyfriends and why I was attracting imbalanced Water Types.
Dondi wanted to write a book for laypeople about how practical and life-changing the Five Elements can be for all of us. Most people are a mixture of several elements, often being stronger in one or two…Some examples of celebrities Dondi offers are Barbara Streisand Wood, Simon Cowell Fire, Ellen De Generes Earth, Mister Rogers Metal.
There are some misconceptions about using this personality categorization For instance, what might be a reason people don't identify with their primary element, but with their secondary element. The main misconception is that this system will box people in, categorize then and paint them as one dimensional. Actually it is just the opposite. The system opens the windows to all of the multi-dimensional layers that make up a person. When we don't understand the inner workings of a person's personality we make assumptions and draw ill-fated conclusions. I am a person who identifies with my secondary element. I am a WOOD/WATER. People see my wood aspects because I am often in the public eye and Wood is what I lead with when working under stress or handling life. But behind closed doors and with friends I am quite, like to stay home and get stuck on the couch. I like deep conversation and have to mentally over-prepare for public moments because I'm shy.
Another example of how one might compensate for having a certain element and rely on their secondary aspect is an EARTH MAN . They may hide it for if their father is stern, militaristic, strict and believes that boys should be boys. Then he will probably not be pleased with a gentle EARTH BOY. Boys who are primarily Earth often get their gentle personalities rough- housed or bullied out of them by the time they get to middle school.
People often think these systems are mostly for romantic compatibility but Dondi explains it's useful to understand and work more cooperatively with coworkers, family and especially parents and children's relationships. An example of this is in regard to the parent- child experience begins with Dondi's own story. She began to home school her son for many reasons. One of the reasons was Dondi didn't do well with the strict time-lines, grading systems and rigidity of the schools she was in. When she was younger she was very strong in the WATER ELEMENT and couldn't access her WOOD muscle so she withered in school. Dondi decided to home school her son and decided not to use grades…but at some point he wanted to know if his work was an A B C or D. HE WAS FLEXING HIS WOOD MUSCLE. WOOD kids actually do well with some rules, evaluations and guidelines as long as they still have choices. Other kids like EARTHS do not do so well with regulations, rules or even authority. It behooves us to know the rhythms of our kids and raise them as individual as are their rhythms.
Dondi tells us more about her primary and secondary elements and whether they were the same as her mother's elements. Well the affect of my Wood element is that I like to talk about myself. My Wood/water elements are very balanced and it is an interesting combo making me at times feel like I have a split personality. My Wood is a go-getter and doer, but my water is a procrastinator and happy to lie back stay home and do very little. I am grateful for my Wood aspect because it keeps me on task and I am grateful for my water because it keeps me creative, while my wood element is fairly black and white. My third element is EARTH which keeps me in my heart so no matter how judgmental my wood personality is, my Earth brings compassion to the table. Self growth is never easy and understanding your elemental personality can be incredibly helpful for living a more aware and productive life. Sheryl shares with the audience that she is a wood/fire/water mixture and Dondi has a story of a Sheryl in her book whose description and attributes are very similar to her own. Sheryl even shared the description with her daughter and also purchased a copy of the book for her so she could explore the different elements and understand her children and clients in a realistic and authentic way.
Dondi would like readers to take away with them after reading The Five Elements that life is a complex mixture partially affected by our nature or personality, which is a form of our inner soul life and also our interactions with people the environment and culture. If we learn to understand that people can only react to life according to their perceptions, life experiences and elemental tendencies we can develop greater acceptance and compassion, have less fear or anger towards anyone who may be very different than us. Even if we are not a Metal person, we may at times, use their ability to go above the fray and remain composed and loving no matter what. We can respect our own needs and path without selfishness and with respect for others: for their passions, abilities and choices, even if they are different than ours…this is the way to harmony and peace within and in the world eventually.
In summarizing today's episode of Healing From Within we have examined an ancient system, "The Five Elements" aimed at giving us a way to understand why we respond the way we do and how to be more comfortable with our personalities greatly dictated by the state of the elemental proclivities that are strongest in our energy. Knowing whether we are a fundamentally a Water Wood Fire Earth or Metal Element and learning that we are usually a combination of several does affect our interactions choices and interests. Knowing about this personality system can help you understand and improve your psychological emotional physical and spiritual balance. This system can also help parents to understand the way their children perceive the world and themselves and offers helpful tips for encouraging your children to develop their strengths according to their elemental aspects and needs so they may find harmony, balance and peace in their daily activities.
Once we allow accept and surrender to our internal heart based destinies and the way we function as a result of our inner landscape determined largely by the degree of either Water Wood Fire Earth or Metal elements that are at work within affecting our relationships we can fully engage life and any challenge in a more realistic and successful way. Isn't that indeed what we were born to do. We must learn what makes us tick and why others respond as they do not only from events or conditions of the outside world, but from the essence of Being that comes from within and must be allowed to be expressed into the world through our actions and reactions.
Dondi and I would have you learn to appreciate the good in all the Five Element People who frequent your life and become aware of how you are learning to use your new found awareness of Self and others as we are simply expressing ourselves through the energy of soul being aligned to 1 or more of the elements. Since there is no good or bad just experiences we can learn to allow everyone to be themselves, without judging or blaming them. Then we can find a way for greater compassion and love which ultimately is the way we can live our best life .

Film Review: Boston is Strong Again in Reliable 'Patriots Day'Submitted by PatrickMcD on January 13, 2017 - 3:51pm
CHICAGO – In the context of history, and the way information is consumed these days, the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013 seems both like yesterday and a long time ago. Director Peter Berg's "Patriots Day" is the first film account of that horrid week, and features Mark Wahlberg.

Film Review: 'La La Land' Will Create Love for Musicals AgainSubmitted by PatrickMcD on December 15, 2016 - 2:04pm
CHICAGO – "La La Land" has the spirit of an old time "Singin' In The Rain"-type Hollywood musical, but this is no throwback or revival. It brings that spirit into the modern age and gets it to live, breathe, and thrive once again. It's a beautiful technicolor spectacle that celebrates the whimsy of musicals, while finding a way to translate it credibly and wonderfully to the modern age.
Interview: Damien Chazelle & Rosemarie DeWitt of 'La La Land'Submitted by PatrickMcD on December 14, 2016 - 12:23pm
CHICAGO – Bringing the musical movie genre back requires a bit of nostalgia, a nod to modernity and always old fashioned star power. Writer/director Damien Chazelle ("Whiplash") combined all three to produce "La La Land," with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as star-crossed lovers. Rosemarie DeWitt also has a featured role.
Film Review: 'The Accountant' is a Strange Indulgence for Ben AffleckSubmitted by PatrickMcD on October 14, 2016 - 8:30am
CHICAGO – Remember the hilarious video of Ben Affleck during the "Batman v Superman" promotions, his blank stare synched up to the song "The Sound of Silence"? Well, he's decided to take that expression to a mainstream role, as he blankly applies that manner to "The Accountant."
Film News: 'La La Land' is Opening Night Film of 52nd Chicago International Film FestivalSubmitted by PatrickMcD on October 12, 2016 - 6:44pm

Film Review: Susan Sarandon Plays Smother Mother in 'The Meddler'Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 29, 2016 - 7:34am
CHICAGO – Some mothers are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them. The Mom of "The Meddler" – portrayed with precise intuition by Susan Sarandon – is of the greatness-of-the-future variety, by simply evolving to be herself. Rose Byrne as daughter Lori tags along.
Interview: Director Lorene Scafaria Presents 'The Meddler'Submitted by PatrickMcD on April 27, 2016 - 12:37pm
CHICAGO – The combining of icon Susan Sarandon and a "smother mother" from New Jersey is unbeatable, especially under the sure hand of writer/director Lorene Scafaria. The distinctive voice that brought us "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,' now is taking on mother/daughter relationships in "The Meddler."
Film Review: 'Zootopia' is an Odd But Endearing Disney Animated FilmSubmitted by PatrickMcD on March 4, 2016 - 6:12am
CHICAGO – Walt Disney Studio's latest animated extravaganza is best viewed as a child's introduction to the buddy cop movie, since you can't exactly start a toddler on "Midnight Run" or "Lethal Weapon 2." But in this case it's a bunny cop movie.
Film Review: Familiarity of 'Terminator Genisys' Also its FlawSubmitted by PatrickMcD on July 1, 2015 - 11:32am
CHICAGO – The "Terminator" series means so much to so many film fans. What began as a modest sci-fi "what if?" morphed into now four sequels, billions of box office dollars, and the cementing of Arnold Schwarzenegger as an action film titan. It's all mixed together again in "Terminator Genisys."

If you happen to be one of those illustrious few who gets to summer in Europe (and you know someone's doing well for themself when they "summer"; not just visit, but summer) then this might interest you: the UK was named the best place in Europe to be openly gay by the International Lesbian and Gay Association, or the ILGA. Yeah, gays aren't great when it comes to making acronyms. Russia, on the other hand, probably shouldn't be high up on your travel list.
The ILGA Europe's index rated a total of 49 countries on more than 40 categories. With a total of 21 points, the UK narrowly edged out both Germany and Spain, which earned a total of 20 points each, respectively. An ILGA-Europe spokesperson is quoted by The Independent as saying Scotland played a "leading role" in the UK's success, as hate crimes "aggravated" by gender identity are explicitly recognized under Scottish laws.
On the opposite end of the ILGA's scale were Russia and Moldova, each of which scored -4.5 points. Russia has come under fire in recent weeks for the introduction of a so-called "gay propaganda" law in its second-largest city, St. Petersburg. (Source)
As someone who has neither the money nor the ability to stay on a trans-Atlantic plane without going crazy, to go to Europe . . . Meh, this is kind of a lateral move for me. Although I'm sure this will go a long way to helping people decide where to visit and which countries to spend money in. Because simply put, people tend to vote more with their money than with their actual votes (see: Ford, Rob). So yes, maybe the appropriation of tourist dollars will help foreign countries realize that it pays to be gay.

Kinetic Vision to present new eCommerce packaging simulations at Pack Expo 2018
Kinetic Vision's Modelling + Simulation group will roll out their new virtual eCommerce packaging testing system that helps companies secure shipping certifications that companies like Amazon and Walmart require.
"Our background in stress analysis, finite element analysis, and modelling and simulation gives us a unique advantage in helping consumer product companies optimise their products to pass shipment testing requirements," said Jim Topich, VP of Engineering for the company.
The Kinetic Vision system focuses on assisting with ISTA® certification and also ISTA®6, the version required by Amazon. ISTA® stands for the International Safe Transit Association and is the leading industry developer of testing protocols and design standards that define how packages should perform to ensure the protection of their contents. Kinetic Vision's virtual system tests products that "Ships In Own Container" and items placed into a master shipping container. While physical testing is ultimately required to comply with the ISTA® specifications, computer simulations of comparable test procedures can be utilised to rapidly predict and optimise packaging performance. Digital testing enables significant time and costs savings over manual trial-and-error approaches.
"Products that were once designed for palletised delivery are now being shipped directly to the consumer. That's convenient for the buyer, but a headache for the manufacturer. The only way to rapidly adjust packaging is through simulation, and our system gives manufacturers a way to test and react even before physical models are made" said Mr Topich.
The company will be showcasing its virtual eCommerce system at the Pack Expo trade show, taking place at Chicago's McCormick Place from 15th - 17th October. Pack Expo is the world's largest packaging trade event with an estimated 50,000 attendees and over 2,500 industry exhibitors. Kinetic Vision's booth is #E-10505, located in the Lower Lakeside centre at McCormick Place. Learn more at kinetic-vision.com.

Deadline reported, The Gotham Group has acquired the television rights of Gork, The Teenage Dragon by Gabe Hudson.
It's a young adult science fiction featuring dragons. You can read the synopsis of the book below:
Gork isn't like the other dragons at WarWings Military Academy. He has a gigantic heart, two-inch horns, and an occasional problem with fainting. His nickname is Weak Sauce and his Will to Power ranking is Snacklicious–the lowest in his class. But Gork is determined not to let any of this hold him back as he embarks on the most important mission of his life: tonight, on the eve of his high school graduation, he must ask a female dragon to be his queen. If she says yes, they'll go off to conquer a foreign planet together. If she says no, Gork becomes a slave.
Vying with Jocks, Nerds, Mutants, and Multi-Dimensioners to find his mate, Gork encounters an unforgettable cast of friends and foes, including Dr. Terrible, the mad scientist; Fribby, a robot dragon obsessed with death; and Metheldra, a healer specializing in acupuncture with swords. But finally it is Gork's biggest perceived weakness, his huge heart, that will guide him through his epic quest and help him reach his ultimate destination: planet Earth.
Gork, The Teenage Dragon was originally published by Alfred A. Knopf in July 11th 2017.

Amex Platinum 75k Referral
*update – 75k is populating 06/11/2020
The Public Welcome offer on the Amex Platinum is currently 60k, and that's true for most referrals as well; however, I consistently seeing Amex Platinum referrals at 75k as well. That's pretty awesome, especially considering the individual who refers also gets 10-20k points. Be aware that self referring can open you up to inquiry with Amex so I would advise against doing this, but we're all friend here, so you can leave your links in the comments section to boost your own account. Additionally, make sure you read how our site works with referral links as you may get rotated into the main body of this post and increase your odds of earning bonus points.
Amex Platinum Referral Link
This is YMMV because I tried using the referral link in multiple browsers and it didn't always work so this is more of an effort to make you aware that the offer could be available, but it's not guaranteed to populate. Hopefully you're able to generate a 75000 point offer.
Here's a look at Amex Platinum Referral 75k Offer:
Is this an all time high?
People have gotten 100k targeted offers, but 75k is really great.
Is it worth the $550 annual fee?
Great question and you need to do the math, we wrote an article on our 10 reasons why we think is it. I'd suggest you check it out.
More articles on the Amex Platinum to educate yourself
- Amex Platinum Uber credits
- Using the Airline fee credit
- Is it worth it? The American Express Platinum card charges a $550 annual fee
- Fine Hotels and Resorts
What can you do with 75k American Express points?
We used 70k to fly Lufthansa First Class back from Paris earlier this year by transferring them to Aeroplan. Personally, despite the taxes and fees, I think it's one of the best redemptions you can make. You can also transfer into Avianca to access Lufthansa award space and redeem 87k points and avoid a lot of the taxes and fees.

We earn commission when you use our links via our partner Cardratings and are really grateful when you do, but we also publish other deals that may be attractive to you. Referrals, are one of those other deals, and is a way we can give back to you for supporting us.
We want to give you an opportunity to earn some valuable points as well, and so this is how we go about doing it.
- We add our own referrals first
- Because we use a ton of points every year and publish reviews of the flight and hotels we take, but we quickly max out
- We add those of friends and family to load up their accounts
- Once those are maxed out
- We then import your links from the comments section below to help you out.
- We usually leave those up for a few weeks and cycle through them, or when we get an email notifying us that someone's account has maxes out
You can also leave your links on these posts to get more traffic, but make sure they are correlated to the card the post details, otherwise your links will most likely get overlooked and I won't import them into the main text as they direct to the wrong card

Last fall, we had the opportunity to make an awesome highlight video with some of our graduates. Our objective, generally speaking, was to share the impact Code Platoon has on the lives of veterans and military spouses.
Ultimately, though, we needed this video to feature the hard work and success stories of our incredible alumni. They're the heroes in the story, and Code Platoon is the sword they choose to wield to achieve their quest of becoming full-time software developers. The video we created was meant to show the program impact of Code Platoon through these alumni stories.
While the debut of this video was at our first formal fundraising event, the hope is that it can help raise awareness of the impact our community can have on veterans. We also want to help our viewers understand that, while determination and sacrifice are in the DNA of these students, they need tools and training like Code Platoon in order to make it to the next step in their post-service careers.
We also hope that prospective students can see themselves in the various alumni featured, while a prospective donor can picture the impact their funding will have on real people. It's our genuine hope that when our audience notices a little reflection of themselves in our students, it will give them the inspiration to participate as students or contributors as well!
A lot goes into creating such a video. Here's more information on how we brought our goals to life, and the people who helped make it possible.
Planning the Code Platoon alumni video
The Code Platoon team had a tight timeline for production. Once we decided to create the video for our fundraiser, we were confronted with planning, shooting, and editing all before the looming date we had already set for the event only a month away.
The first step was deciding what look and feel we wanted, because the stories themselves were coming from the students, not us. We ended up picking out a couple example videos of what we were looking to achieve. Just in case anyone got camera-shy, we also planned out some areas of focus if graduates wanted to know which parts of their stories we wanted to hear most.
That being said, the team shooting and editing ended up injecting our project with their own inspired vision, and once our graduates started talking, they didn't need any help touching on the things that resonate with other applicants and contributors!
And logistically, the hardest part was finding a convenient time for all of our alumni and staff to be available for the actual shoot. Coordinating schedules and compromising on availability meant that we ended up shooting on a weekday evening!
Before we got in front of the cameras, though, we were already fortunate to have a great deal of support and flexibility from key stakeholders, which allowed us to plan, shoot and edit the video in only about three weeks.
Shooting, producing, and presenting the video
What started out as a calendar challenge ended up being a fun night together with pizza, laughs, and good memories of the Code Platoon classroom experience.
The video was shot at Eight Bit Studios in Chicago by Chris Ocken of Ocken Photography. Editing, music, and graphics were provided by Al Benoit and the team at The Mill. These guys put their unique talents into our end product, and they were able to give life to these graduate experiences in a way that only video can do.
We debuted the video at our first annual fundraiser, Celebrate Code Platoon 2018. From conversations with attendees, what our graduates said was very clear: Veterans often just need a little backup when training for their post-service careers, and Code Platoon provided exactly the platform they needed to excel.
And while the facts are easy to write, the human element is something that these students share better in their own words, so we encourage you to watch the video for yourself!
Michael Dorsey: I was in the military, in the Navy for five years. I was a Seabee, which is actually a builder, doing construction.
Edward Wright: I joined in '99. My first duty station was at Virginia Beach. I worked on the F-14 war plane.
John Cibula: I went the route of Recon Marine, which is like a specialized infantry unit.
Jyn Kim: I joined the military hoping that I could be a citizen and that's how I got it.
Michael Dorsey: After getting out of the military, I was like all right, now is the time. Let's go ahead and go after this dream that I've had for the longest. About a year and a half later, actually found Code Platoon during a Google search. And it came just in time. I was getting ready to move back to California, back away from my family. And Code Platoon pretty much found me.
Jyn Kim: So, when I join Army, I already knew about Code Platoon through my friend and I thought there's another reason to join Army because there is a coding boot camp just for veterans. My parents just couldn't believe it, that I'm studying for a software developer and they were just inspired by the fact that I'm studying computer languages, so I think that was my motivation.
Michael Dorsey: The environment itself was just indicative of what the family oriented lifestyle of the military was.
Jyn Kim: I feel like everyone's a family. It's not like they have this obligation to come. They really wanted to see us success in this industry.
John Cibula: They know that you have to be able to adapt, because … especially to software. In the military, things are changing constantly, so if you don't adapt you're going to die. And they did that. It was great. And I hear now that they're talking about … they're basically adapting to what the needs of the software community are and they're not stuck in their old ways, which I think is great.
Edward Wright: It was a great experience. I would do it all over again. I tell my family members, anybody I come across I would do this all over again. If I could talk my spouse into coming I would.
John Cibula: What I did learn from Code Platoon is basically you just learn how to learn. Once I learned kind of the baseline I wasn't really afraid of learning a new language or learning a whole new field I guess basically. So, now I'm a Java developer. I do front office development. I basically work on applications for our traders to look at price data and some other stuff and make decisions from there. It's pretty great actually.
Edward Wright: The place where I ended up at I felt was perfect. Just perfect for me. And that place is a company called Grainger. They're an industrial company and working in aviation, I actually knew who they were before I ever got here. The guys at Grainger were pretty excited to hear that and I just thought it was good for that reason.
Michael Dorsey: Using the tactics that Code Platoon has taught me, talking to people, asking questions, being curious, asking why and finding out and having a drive to go after what you want and finding that answer has really helped me through all of this. And still is helping me to this day.
Jyn Kim: Code Platoon was great to all of us. It really changed our life and lifestyle. I think it was a turning point of my life.

New Delhi:
India's top squash player Dipika Pallikal finished runner-up at the WSA Granite Open after losing to England's Sarah-Jane Perry in an action-packed final.
Third seed Pallikal began well only to falter at key moments later in the title clash held yesterday, going down 8-11, 11-6, 12-10, 11-7 against the fourth seed.
Success in the WSA International 25 event in its fourth year at the Granite Club marks Perry's eighth WSA World Tour title - and her first ever win over Pallikal, the world No.13 from Chennai, in three meetings since October 2011.
World No.16 Perry made it to her 11th Tour final after overcoming top seed and defending champion Amanda Sobhy - ranked six places higher - in the semi-finals.
But it was Pallikal who had the upper hand in the opening game, with Perry making too many unforced errors. The English underdog corrected this in the second, pulling away from six-all to level the match.
Perry maintained the momentum in the third, racing to a 6-2 lead. But 23-year-old Pallikal fought back to level at 10-10, before Perry clinched the game 12-10.
Pallikal twice led in the fourth at 6-5 and 7-6 - but the Indian number one was unable to fend off Perry, who took five points in a row on the way to her triumph, and her second Granite Open title since 2013.
Last week in England, Perry overcame fellow countrywomen Alison Waters and Laura Massaro, ranked three and five in the world, respectively, en-route to winning the British National Championship title against expectations.

Having ADHD means I spend my life trying to figure out what is important.
No, I know the mortgage has to be paid. I know an education is a great help. I know that I do not want to lose my job.
Those things are important, I'm fully aware of that.
Nope, I'm talking about receipts.
Well, receipts are a great example. I'll go out to run errands and I'll come home with a pocketful of receipts from the groceries and from picking up that widget to fix the doodad in the kitchen and from grabbing a can of stain for the patio furniture and also a cup of coffee on the go and maybe a new pen … oh, and a computer.
And all these receipts will be in my hand when I empty my pockets at night. (Yeah, I somehow have that habit.)
And I'll look at them and think, I know some of these are important, and some are not … but I don't really have the energy or the time to sit and stare at them until they tell me which category they belong in.
And …
… They go into the pile with the other non-communicative receipts on my dresser.
Damned things, they should speak up! You'd think that places would color code them or something, right?
There are times when I know intuitively that a receipt is important. That's a special moment. I feel good about myself for recognizing that and I have a special way of dealing with those receipts.
I put them in my wallet … where I keep them for five or more years until they have faded beyond legibility, and then I throw them out because, obviously they weren't that important because if they were my life would have ended in a shambles by now, right?
Receipts are funny
These receipts seem to be some sort of formal acknowledgement that I spent money on something, as if having the thing wasn't proof enough.
And money, like time, once spent is irrelevant to an ADHDer.
I mean, sure, I had some money. But now it's gone. I held on to it for a long time, but then there was a thing I could buy and when I looked at the thing I couldn't be sure that I wouldn't really, really, REALLY need it at some point and what if I did and I had passed up this opportunity to buy it so I'd better just do that, right?
So, receipts?
They're funny things, confusing things, extra things that you get when you buy something, and they keep the top of my dresser warm.
And they're even spelled funny, don't even get me started on silent "P" jokes.
And they're not like T-shirts, not useful like that at all.
Though in truth … I have way too many of those too.

Exciting news: our brand new website will be arriving very soon. To be the first to hear about it, sign up here.
Where in the world are you?
It's far nicer (and easier) when things are in your own language.Right now, we speak a few, but we're learning more all the time…
Mood-setting, task-illuminating, warm-welcome-making lamps for tables, floors and desks alike.
Desk lamps may need to be functional – adjustable, focused and not too glaringly bright – but we've designed ours so they're considered in terms of aesthetic too.
Our biggest and widest table lamps. You may need to give up a little more table space for these vase-shaped ones, but they'll make a bold design statement in return.
Taller and slimmer than vase-shaped lamps but not quite as skinny and statuesque as candlestick ones, our pillar table lamps are good if you're after a design with a mid-sized footprint and height.
These skinny, elongated lamps are perfect for tables that are short on room, and while some are small enough to fit inside bookcases, others stand at great heights, adding vertical interest to a space.
Choose from classic, contemporary and vintage-inspired floor lamp designs for reading or for creating a warm puddle of light in a table-less corner.
