Week 16
This week has playoff implications and draft seed implications. This week will be a fun one. We will see the panthers try and move one game away from perfection. We will see the Giants without Odell Beckham Jr and we will see McCarron vs. Osweiller in their respective game.
NFL Week 16
Redskins (7-7) @ Eagles (6-8): This game has all the division meaning behind it on Saturday night. If the Redskins win they are in. They will be playing on the road with that mentality. If they lose this game and the Giants lose it will come down to the Eagles and Redskins. The Eagles know their chances are still alive and they will be playing with the fire and desire to make the playoffs. This game will be interesting to say the least and I am not sure who will win this game honestly both teams to me are pretty equal. I am going to stick with the home team here though. Eagles win 27 – 23 over the Redskins.
Patriots (12-2) @ Jets (9-5): This game has no playoff implications for the auto bye week Patriots but for the Jets on the other hand this team is looking at the wildcard spot. They need to win and then some help the next two weeks. But if they lose they are watching their chances almost slip away. I am going to expect Pats and company though to come out playing hard and try to keep their division rivals out of the playoffs. Patriots win 30 – 24 over the Jets.
Texans (7-7) @ Titans (3-11): For the Texans if they win their in. The Titans if they lose out they get the number one draft pick. This game has implications for both teams of complete opposite ends. I think the Titans would gladly take the number one draft pick and get Mariota a team built around him including O-line. The Texans are a team that I think in the playoffs could win a game since they will have a home game due to winning their division and JJ Watt and co. are able to play well enough to win some and shock everyone. I think the Texans win 21 – 17 over the Titans.
Browns (3-11) @ Chiefs (9-5): This game is open and shut. Browns look to hope for a number one or 2 draft spot and the Chiefs are hotter than any team in the NFL except the Panthers. Chiefs win 34 – 14 over the Browns.
Colts (6-8) @ Dolphins (5-9): The Colts are hoping for a miracle in Tennessee which I do not see happening. The Dolphins are just dead in the water. This game is going to be close and could be entertaining with no real meaning behind it. Dolphins win 23 – 14 over the Colts.
49ers (4-10) @ Lions (5-11): YAWN. I will go give credit to the Lions for waking up, kind of, late in the year. The Niners have looked better with Gabbert but they should draft a QB and get this team a franchise QB and move forward. I can't blame Jim Tomsula because this team lost a bunch of people to retirement on the defensive side and then injuries on offense. The Lions are starting to somewhat show moments of brilliance but then it gets whipped away by bad play. Lions win 20 – 17 over the 49ers.
Cowboys (4-10) @ Bills (6=8): This game is going to be fun because I think if the Bills find a way to lose they will see the end of Rex Ryan already. He has taken this team backwards and should be canned because this team has the talent to be a playoff team and sit at 10-6 not finish .500 at best. The Cowboys simply had a nightmare season once Romo went down and it has just continued to the end. I think the Bills will find a way to get another win here. Bills win 28 – 19 over the Cowboys.
Bears (5-9) @ Buccaneers (6-8): This game no longer has much meaning except that Lovie gets a shot at his old team. Winston is a good player with a bright future but what we saw last week against the Rams is not what the Bucs fans need to see out of their team. The Bears are looking for signs out of this team that they are starting to improve but I am not sure what to make of them. Kevin White in this team's roster might make an actual difference but until next year we won't know. This game is going to be fun I think though. Buccaneers win 30 – 25 over the Bears.
Panthers (14-0) @ Falcons (7-7): Cam Newton will not lie down and take a loss I can tell you that. I
know Atlanta shocked me last week by winning but I do not see that being a repeat performance this week. The Panthers dominated the Falcons in their earlier matchup 2 weeks ago. I think it will be a repeat. Panthers win 34 – 20 over the Falcons.
Steelers (9-5) @ Ravens (4-10): This one will be ugly for the fans at M&T Bank Stadium. This game shouldn't be a contest. Steelers win 37 – 7 over the Ravens.
Jaguars (5-9) @ Saints (5-9): This game has no playoff implications but this game could be a lot of fun. Blake Bortles has done really well this year and I like the way the Jaguars have looked. The Saints were "upset" last week in a game that most people picked the Saints to walk away with a win. I wouldn't say that they are a bad team they just have literally no defense and their offense sometimes starts just to slow. Jaguars win 27 – 24 over the Saints.
Rams (6-8) @ Seahawks (9-5): Rams looked so impressive last week. The Rams are so much fun to watch when Tavon Austin and Gurley are both on at the exact same time. They showed it last week on Thursday night football and it was truly fun to watch for me and especially Rams fans. The Seahawks might be the third hottest team in the NFL and they will be looking to finish 11-5 this year. The Seahawks are on fire and Russell Wilson is hotter than a Volcano right now and they are dominating due to it. Seahawks win 31 – 17 over the Rams.
Packers (10-4) @ Cardinals (12-2): Here is game of the week. The Packers need to continue putting pieces together but they aren't doing it well still. They seem to be squeaking bye every single week and that won't help them survive this week against the Cardinals. The Cardinals are going to be a Super Bowl threat as I said as long as Carson stays healthy. I am going to take the home team here due to the fact that they have been way more consistent this season. Cardinals win 38 – 34 over the Packers.
Giants (6-8) @ Vikings (9-5): Both these teams need this win for their playoff hopes. They are both two teams who have been great at moments and then had moments where they looked absolutely horrible. The Giants are a fun team to watch when they are clicking. Odell Beckham Jr. will be suspended week 16 for sure and that will kill any hopes for the Giants against this defense. Vikings win 34 – 24 over the Giants.
Bengals (11-3) @ Broncos (10-4): If the Bengals win they get the automatic bye week and they will be playing hard for that especially for Daltons sake. The Broncos will be looking to avoid being tied with the Chiefs heading to week 17. I am not sure how this game will go but it will be fun Osweiller vs. McCarron two back ups finally getting their shot and they both could be good QB's in the NFL. Along with two decent defenses with a missing ground game. AJ Green vs Demaryius Thomas. This will be a lot of fun to watch on Monday night. Bengals win 23 – 18 over the Broncos.
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons. Early in the season, nobody would have expected the Falcons to have fallen this far. Nobody would have expected the Panthers to be remain undefeated this late in the season. Last week, I argued that history favors the Panthers losing at least one game this season, but all Carolina did was hold on to defeat the Giants and prove yet again that they are one of the best coached teams in the NFL. Panthers win this one. Final score: Carolina Panthers 24, Atlanta Falcons 23.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens. The Pittsburgh Steelers are still playing for a playoff berth (and even a potential AFC North title depending on how the Bengals perform over the next two weeks). The Ravens are just playing to end the season. While Baltimore will try everything they can to upset the Steelers this week, Pittsburgh will prevail. Final score: Pittsburgh Steelers 28, Baltimore Ravens 14.
Dallas Cowboys @ Buffalo Bills. The Bills have gotten worse as the season goes on, but Kellen Moore and the Cowboys might be just what Buffalo need to get back to form. The Cowboys are a good team when Romo plays, but Romo is on IR and this is a team on rapid decline. Bills win. Final score: Buffalo Bills 21, Dallas Cowboys 14.
San Francisco 49ers @ Detroit Lions. Detroit is the better team, period. With their new offensive coordinator, the Lions offense finally looks like an NFL offense. While the 49ers did mount a nice rally against a solid Bengals defense last week, this is still a unit with very few weapons. Lions win this one. Final score: Detroit Lions 24, San Francisco 49ers 14.
Cleveland Browns @ Kansas City Chiefs. I don't trust the Browns to win anything this season. This is a team that has been in perpetual rebuilding mode since 1999, and nothing is different this year. The Chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot to play for. They're still in contention for a divisional title and a playoff berth. Chiefs should win this one easily. Final score: Kansas City Chiefs 24, Cleveland Browns 14.
Indianapolis Colts @ Miami Dolphins. This week, two of the most disappointing teams in the NFL face off. The Colts were supposed to be a Superbowl contender heading into this season, but are in free-fall with Andrew Luck injured and Matt Hasselbeck finally starting to look his age. The Dolphins started very slowly behind Ryan Tannehill, but are finally starting to improve. Miami wins this one. Final score: Miami Dolphins 28, Indianapolis Colts 24.
New England Patriots @ New York Jets. Everybody expects the Patriots to win this thing, but the Jets are still in contention. I'm hoping for the Fitzmagic to continue! I'm going with the Jets winning and upsetting the Patriots! Final score: New York Jets 27, New England Patriots 23.
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans. This may be a rough game for the Titans. Zach Mettenberger has struggled against Houston in the past, and a win in this game will help the Texans a lot in the fight for the AFC South title. Texans deliver and win this game. Final score: Houston Texans 35, Tennessee Titans 14.
Chicago Bears @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This week, Lovie Smith gets to host his old team, the Chicago Bears. The Bears are who Lovie thinks they are, and that's a pretty bad football team right now. The Buccaneers are playing well right now, and the Bears are on a major losing streak. Bucs win. Final score: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28, Chicago Bears 27.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New Orleans Saints. This game could go either way, but the Jaguars are the healthier team with Drew Brees struggling with injury. I'm thinking that could give the Jaguars an edge this week. Final score: Jacksonville Jaguars 27, New Orleans Saints 24.
St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are in the middle of a playoff push and playing at home. They should win this game handily. Final score: Seattle Seahawks 38, St. Louis Rams 14.
Green Bay Packers @ Arizona Cardinals. These are two of the best teams in the NFC right now. That being said, Arizona is a far more complete team, and is just playing better football. Combine that with Arizona playing at home, and they should win this one. Final score: Arizona Cardinals 24, Green Bay Packers 17.
New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings. The Giants will be without their main offensive weapon, Odell Beckham Jr. Last week, the Vikings showed that they can compete even without their top offensive weapon Adrian Peterson. The Vikings are a better team than the Giants, and they will win this game. Final score: Minnesota Vikings 24, New York Giants 13.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Denver Broncos. If AJ McCarron heads into Denver and has a great game, that is going to make things interesting for the Cincinnati front office moving forward. That being said, I still firmly believe that Marvin Lewis, not Andy Dalton, is the reason for Cincinnati's prime time woes. That will be tested this week as the Dalton-less Bengals travel to Denver on Monday night. I'm picking Denver in this one. Final score: Denver Broncos 27, Cincinnati Bengals 7.

" But Baby---- "
" No buts Mommy. I'll be okay here. I'm just going to watch Phineas and Ferb. Go ahead ! Im a big boy right Daddy? "
" But--- "
" Wag ka ng makipagtalo. Di ka mananalo sa kanya. "
" O.kay. "
Naglakad na kami ni Troy para kunin yung mga pamalit naming damit. Geez. I wish na dalawa ang shower room dun >///< . Or kung hindi man, i'll stay nalang sa tub.
Pagpasok namin, nilock ni Troy yung pinto. Sinabit ko na yung damit ko. Dala yung towel at robe ko.
" M-michelle. "
" Ba-- "
Teka. Bakit nagbablush 'to? Maloko nga :D
" Hey ! Bakit ka nagbablush diyan? Anong iniisip mo? HAHAHA "
" I-ikaw. "
" Ako? Alam ko na yun Troy. Bakit nga? "
" The thought na nasa iisang CR tayo. Adrenaline rush. "
Wrong timing ata yung panloloko ko. Bakit di ko kasi naisip yun >__< At to think of it, iisang shower at tub lang ang meron.
Bigla siyang yumakap sa akin na siyang kinakaba ko.
" T-troy.M-maliligo na a-ako. "
" C-can we? "
" C-can we what? "
" Continue what happen earlier. "
" T-troy mag---- "
Di pa ko tapos magsalita pero hinalikan na niya ako. Hinawakan niya yung batok ko for assistance.
Sinubukan kong itulak siya palayo but instead, i linked my hands to his neck. And I? Responding to all his kisses.
Naglakad siya and all of a sudden. Bumukas yung shower. Now, were totally wet.
He's kissing me torridly. Responding to it.
From my lips. Down to my neck. Caressing his dare back and his long hair. Kissing me to my neck makes me shiver.
He remove my seethrough sando, unbuckled my bra. Kissing me back to my lips while caressing my breast.
I don't know what should i feel at this moment. I supposed to oppose all of his actions but opposite thing happens.
Responding to it.
Since he's not wearing any upper garment, i immediately remove his board shorts. He was shocked by my actions, me either. Leaving him with his underwear.
I look directly to his eyes. His eyes that is full of love, lust and desire. He really want me that bad huh.
His quick hands moves directly to my shorts and undies and removing it so fast >///< . My turn to do my part,
removing his brief for an instant. I touched his manhood and he was shocked. Its.. hard.
I supposed to feel so cold since we are under the raging coldwater running through the shower, but instead. Its hot. Not the water, but the atmosphere that surround us.
We stop kissing as we catches our breath.
" Do you... want this? " - he asked
" Just... finish what you've started. "
Hinalikan niya ulit ako at binuhat. Di ko alam at wala akong paki-alam kung saan niya ako dadalhin. But one thing is for sure, hindi sa kama yun. Andun kasi anak namin.
Naupo siya sa bathtub na puno ng bula. Dito siguro naligo si ZJ kanina. May mga rubber duckies kasi.
As we sit, he's facing my back. He rained kisses from every part of it. While his one hand, roaming my body. From caressing my breast, moving down to my tummy until to my censored part.
My left hand touched his manhood. Doing its job, thrusting it. Up and down. I wish that i was doing it right.
" Oh.. " - he moaned but still continued raining kisses to my neck
We've stay for a couple of minutes in that postion the he stood up.
I saw how really hot and hard it was. HE WAS i mean. Drools.
He layed my head in the corner edge of the tub. Our body was covered by bubbles. His left hand was on my back for assistance and the other one was on the side of the tab for support.
" Can i continue this? " - i look directly to his eyes, pleasing eyes.
I embraced his neck and gave him a deep kiss as a respond.
Geez. I never imagine we will be such a horny couple. And having this kind of situation at this kind of place.
There's no turning back. Ginusto ko rin naman 'to. -////-
I felt his manhood on my entrance. Any minute, it will be a part of me. As one.
He inserted it slowly, until i felt its inside of me. Since this is not the first time we did this, it doesn't hurt that much.
At first, he take it slowly. Then in a while, he starts to move faster. He thrust harder,deeper and faster.
Suddenly, i realized I am lucky to have Troy. Hot,handsome,loving,caring,protective. Ano pa hahanapin ko. The pleasure is in me.
I felt sudden ache. Masakit mahiga sa isang matigas na bagay.
He stopped. But still, he's inside me.
We switch places. I am now the one who's on top. He's the one who layed at the edge.
" Sorry. " - he said
Then he continued everything. Naramdaman niya sigurong nangangawit ako, so he take the risk.
I felt the tension. Maybe, for the possible outcome after this. But who cares? I trust Troy. He will never ever leave me. I think.
" I love you Michelle. " - Troy moaned
" I love you too. "
Together we reached the climax.
* * * * *
After that, i stay beside Troy. Inakbayan niya ako. Ako naman,nakahiga sa chest niya at yumakap sa kanya.
" That was... intense. " – Troy
" Shut up. Ikaw kasi ee. "
" Sorry na. Di ko na napigilan ee. 6 years inactive ang sexlife ko. "
" TROY ! Mga terms mo nga. "
" Why? Im just stating the fact. In fact, your great. "
" Troy. Isa pa. "
" Sorry na. "
Pininch niya ulit yung ilong ko.
" Hey. "
" Ewan ko sa 'yo. "
" Michelle. "
" Baby. "
" Wag mo kong iBaby."
" ito naman. Kung about sa nangyari, sorry na talaga. "
Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang side ng mukha ko.
" Sorry. *kiss sa lips* Sorry *kiss sa lips* Sorry *kiss sa lips* I love you *kiss sa lips* I love you *kiss sa lips* "
" Tama na nga. Nakakarami ka na ee. "
" Gusto mo naman ee. For sure, matutuwa si Zach. Ewan. Sana.. babae. "
Di na ko nakasagot. Nakakahiya saka ang awkward.
We almost forgot. May kasama pala kami.
" Coming ! " - Troy
Dinrain na niya yung tubig sa tub causes na makita ang naked body namin. >///<
" Maligo ka na. " - Troy
" Paano ka? "
" Dito nalang ako sa tub. "
" Sige. Wag kang sisilip. "
" Ito naman ! Parang walang nangyari kani--- "
" TROY ! Basta ! Close your eyes ! "
" Fine. "
Agad agad akong tumayo at tumakbo sa shower room. Muntikan pa nga ako madulas ee.

Searching for a school for at-risk boys in Stockton, California? Perhaps you will consider Jubilee Leadership Academy, an affordable boarding school in Washington State known for its devotion to at-risk teenage boys who have wandered away academically, emotionally, legally or relationally.
Jubilee Leadership Academy in Washington State is an evangelical non-denominational Christian boarding school and leadership academy. It is an early intervention school whose purpose is to lead troubled boys to achieve their individual purpose, or destiny, in Christ. Teens arrive at Jubilee Leadership Academy from around the country, including from Stockton, California, and often find it advantageous to experience a new environment separate from local peer groups.
Christian Discipleship for Boys from Stockton, California
Spiritual life is the foundational aspect of Jubilee Leadership Academy. We are devoted to introducing every teen to Jesus Christ to lead them toward their gifting and purpose in Christ. Many teens fromStockton, California who attend have dismissed their spiritual heritage or have never professed belief in Christ. JLA offers a safe place for them to take ownership of their faith, perhaps for the first time.
Leadership Training
Jubilee Leadership Academy exclusively works with troubled or at-risk boys. Besides helping capable students get back on track academically, we provide specific leadership training to unlock the potential in each teenager. We teach teens to serve and love other people. Mission trips and community service projects give real life experience and application of the leadership principles taught at JLA.
Academics that Transfer Back to Stockton, California
Jubilee Leadership Academy is a fully accredited high school that uses a program of independent study with tutelage. Students complete courses at their own speed, with weekly goals established by instructors based on the student's program of study. Courses are offered for all levels, up to Honors and AP classes. JLA also encourages students to work toward post-secondary goals by helping them prep for SAT and ACT testing and applying for colleges.
Positive Peer Culture
JLA acknowledges that teens and their families today face huge challenges from the culture. Teens are impacted by a barrage of negative peer pressure today. The JLA model for change is called Positive Peer Culture (PPC), which helps young men develop self-worth, significance, dignity, and responsibility as they become committed to the positive values of serving and caring for others.
Athletics at JLA play a role in leadership development and character growth as part of a holistic approach to development. Every teen is asked to play at least one sport because of the important values that can be gained. For boys inStockton, California, Jubilee Leadership Academy offers a number of sports programs.
Jubilee is a real answer for troubled teenagers. Please consider looking outside of Stockton, California to learn how our program for at-risk boys can lead your child toward restoration. To discover more, please contact us today.

DAVID MOYES has signed a new contract which will keep him at Everton until 2009.
The Blues boss (right) has put pen to paper on a three year extension to his current deal, which still has 18 months left to run.
It is a fitting reward for a manager who has guided a small Everton squad to third in the Premiership, defying pre-season expectations of a campaign spent battling relegation.
Chairman Bill Kenwright today hailed the deal, saying: " This is the signing all
Evertonians, including myself, have been waiting for.
"David and I made a promise to each other in the early summer and I don't think either of us ever doubted today's announcement would happen.
"I am thrilled that David has decided to pledge his future to Everton.
"And I am certain that Evertonians all over the world will be similarly excited.
"Since his arrival at Goodison, David has proved to be one of the most gifted young managers of his generation."
Kenwright continued: "David has only enhanced his extraordinary relationship with Evertonians since that auspicious beginning. I feel certain that the People's Club is in very safe hands."
Moyes is delighted to extend his stay at Goodison, having replaced Walter Smith in March 2002.
The Scot said: "I am ever so pleased. The opportunity to sign a second contract at Everton doesn't come around very often, whoever you are.
"I am delighted and extremely humbled to receive it because I realise that a big part in me getting this is because the players have performed well."
The deal will also boost Moyes up the Premiership pay league, having previously been one of the lowest paid bosses, reportedly on #400,000-a-year.

Half the time I am shallow, the other half I want to avoid
shallowness. I am shallow when it comes to aesthetics;
I avoid shallowness in the context of risks and returns.
My aestheticism makes me put poetry before prose,
Greeks before Romans, dignity before elegance,
elegance before culture, culture before erudition,
erudition before knowledge, knowledge before intellect,
and intellect before truth.
But only for matters that are Black Swan free.
Our tendency is to be very rational, except
when it comes to the Black Swan.

But in one important way, we are different. At The Lile-King Firm, we consider the Law a calling--a sacred trust. It is an honor to be able to help businesses accomplish their objectives, and understand and minimize risk. Some of us have worked in firms where the lawyers are unpleasant, confrontational, and complain and gripe about their work, their clients and their compensation. They feel tied to the billable hour, have billable hour quotas and often have love-hate relationships with corporate counsel. We wanted something different. Our lawyers practice together because we love the practice, and we are devoted to our clients. Here is our promise: At our firm, it is not about maximizing the amount we can bill our clients; it is about making sure our clients' practices and businesses are financially sustainable. With this as our goal, we have discovered that we have more work than we can shake a stick at, but more importantly we have happy clients. But at the end of the day when we close our laptops and go home to a child like this, all she is knows is that her mommy or daddy helps people. We think that is a pretty good guidestone.

The Evening of the MindBy Donald Justice
Now comes the evening of the mind.
Here are the fireflies twitching in the blood;
Here is the shadow moving down the page
Where you sit reading by the garden wall.
Now the dwarf peach trees, nailed to their trellises,
Shudder and droop. You know their voices now,
Faintly the martyred peaches crying out
Your name, the name nobody knows but you.
It is the aura and the coming on.
It is the thing descending, circling, here.
And now it puts a claw out and you take it.
Thankfully in your lap you take it, so.
You said you would not go away again,
You did not want to go away—and yet,
It is as if you stood out on the dock
Watching a little boat drift out
Beyond the sawgrass shallows, the dead fish ...
And you were in it, skimming past old snags,
Beyond, beyond, under a brazen sky
As soundless as a gong before it's struck—
Suspended how?—and now they strike it, now
The ether dream of five-years-old repeats, repeats,
And you must wake again to your own blood
And empty spaces in the throat.

No doubt, you've heard all about how snakes are actually misunderstood, how they're really important to the environment, how they fight lyme disease, yada, yada, yada. They probably still freak you out. We get it. It's hard not to be freaked out by those slithery boys. Especially when there's a pile of them in your driveway!
As you may have noticed, snakes are more active than normal around this time of year. You might see them around your garden, your driveway, your yard, or even your home. Here's what you should know about snakes in summertime. It might not help you get over your fear, but at least you'll know what to do while you're freaking out.
Why Are They Here?
Snakes spend most of the year preparing for winter. The most time-consuming and essential part of this preparation is mating. Midwestern snake mating season is determined by the amount of heat and sunlight we get starting in late spring.
Snakes are cold-blooded, so they need to take in heat and sunlight in order to have the energy required for mating. Getting more sun than usual means coming out from their hiding places more than usual. It's not that there are more now than before, it's that they're more visible.
What Are They Doing?
If snakes have to soak up sun, why does it seem like they move around more in summer? Well, one explanation is that they're searching for mates. Breeding can get competitive, so sometimes they have to get proactive if they want to, uh, socialize.
Even though snakes need to absorb heat and sunlight to warm their blood, they also can't absorb too much or they'll overheat. That's one of the reasons why they prefer cool locations like the undersides of rocks, beneath decks, or in basements. It's also why you tend to see snakes more early in the morning or at night than you do during the day. The fact that cool, damp places are also where they find prey doesn't hurt, either.
What Attracts Them to My House?
Snakes choose where they live based on access to food, shade, and shelter. They'll come into a house or yard to hunt small mammals or some insects. They can't get too hot, so they look for places where there's shade, high vegetation, or other dark, cool places to hide. Some may burrow into loose soil or under decorative rocks, siding, or decks.
After mating, a snake's #1 winter-prep priority is finding a place to hibernate–its "hibernaculum." A hibernaculum needs to be dark, warm, enclosed, safe, and below the frost line. A home's foundation, walls, or garage can often meet all of these requirements. Snakes don't generally move far from their home environment, either, so a few will multiply into a bigger problem quickly.
Are They Dangerous?
Probably not. There are numerous venomous snakes native to Midwestern states–including the Timber Rattlesnake, Eastern Massasauga, Prairie Rattlesnake, and Northern Copperhead–but they're relatively rare. Even if you do encounter a venomous snake, they'll only bite you as a last resort. Snakes are shy, and prefer hiding to attacking. The overwhelming majority of snakebites treated every year happened after the victim either provoked or manhandled the snake, usually while intoxicated.
Even in the off-chance you do encounter a venomous snake and in the extreme off-chance that snake bites you, the snake probably won't inject you with venom. Venom is a crucial hunting resource for snakes, and it requires a lot of energy and sustenance to produce. Frankly, it'd be a waste to envenomate you. If you're bitten, wash and dress the wound and seek medical attention immediately.
How Can I Prevent Them?
Deter snakes by depriving them of food, shelter, and places to hibernate. Snakes burrow under shaded, stationary cover where they can stay cool and go unnoticed. Clear away yard clutter such as piles of leaves, lumber, or compost. Snakes need shade to move around freely, so cut your grass short and trim your bushes and hedges regularly. Rodents like chipmunks or squirrels eventually attract snakes, so look for ways to keep small mammals away from your home. If you use a bird feeder, make sure the seed doesn't fall down to the ground.
Perhaps most importantly, seek out and block access to potential snake hibernacula. Walk the perimeter of your house and look for cracks or gaps. Seal, cover, or repair any crack that's larger than a quarter-inch. Make sure you check your garage and garage door, your windows, and your doors. One of the most common routes snakes use to get into your home is through gaps around utility lines. Seal gaps around water pipes, electrical lines, sump pumps, and other places where utilities like gas and power enter your home.
We know you'll never like snakes, but hopefully knowing a bit about them can help you manage your fear. Ultimately, the kinds of snakes you'll find around your home or yard aren't too scary. For the most part they'll just lounge around… and make baby snakes… and eat chipmunks. Ok, that's kind of scary.
If you have a problem with snakes in your home or yard, you can always give Plunkett's a call. We offer Varment Guard Wildlife Control and those technicians have the expertise and experience to handle snakes and all kinds of wildlife problems. Those snakes will have to do their freaky tangle time somewhere else this year!BACK TO BLOG

This past weekend, I ran the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco. I joined 25,000 other women running both 13.1 and 26.2 miles. It was an amazing experience! Not only did they hook us up with awesome gear, and an expo in Union Square, it was beautfiul weather in the city and we received a custom Tiffany's necklace for finishing the race. This race has grown in its 9th year and has become so popular you can only get in by a random drawing. I was lucky enough to get in! It was unlike any other half I've done, it had hills. A lot of them! Just when I was finally getting comfortable with my pace, boom. Mile 6-10, hill after hill.
With this race somewhat sneaking up on me, lack of free time, and also just pure stupidity, I did not train at all for this race. When I say train, I mean "run". I logged a total of 8 miles on two separate occasions weeks prior to the race. That being said, literally halfway through the race my feet were killing me (my running shoes suck), my hips felt like they were being grinded (?) down to nothing and my knees felt as swollen as soft balls. Luckily those hills were almost impossible to run up so I had time to walk and stretch.
One thing I did notice, was that I NEVER felt out breath, I NEVER felt like giving up, and despite the physical breakdowns my body was going through, I ALWAYS FELT CAPABLE OF PUSHING THROUGH. I can 100% contribute this to CrossFit. CrossFit has taught me to have unimaginable will power, an unforgiving mental voice, endurance, stamina, strength and a desire to finish. These are some of the many reasons I do CrossFit. To accomplish something like this feeling unbroken and proud.
Now, would I recommend running 13.1 miles without training? HELL NO! But I do recommend using your fitness in places outside of the gym. That's what CrossFit is training you all TO DO! Train for life! I love trying new things that challenge me not only physically, but mentally.
Set goals, work hard, reach them, and surpass them. By continually doing this, you and your body can literally do ANYTHING you set your mind to! Like running 13.1 miles without running a single mile in 7 weeks, completing your first triathalon, going for a 5 mile hike or a mountain bike ride. Seriously, broaden your horizons outside of "the box" and you'll surprise yourself! I sure did this weekend.
Hope you enjoyed.

Dining in Las Vegas can sometimes be an expensive business. With casinos possessing enough cash to round up the best chefs in the world, and more than a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, it can be surprisingly easy to rack up a four-digit bill for a meal for two.
The good news is it is still possible to find the venerable dollar hot dog and even a $3 steak and eggs special. After all this is a city that built its rep on "the deal." Writer Lark Ellen Gould follows up her Vegas Cocktail guide with a look at eight top dining bargains to be had in Vegas for under $10.
This is one of Sin City's primo segretos. Mr. Lucky's is Hard Rock's 24-hour café, with a walk-up counter, comfy booths and remnants from rock star lives hanging behind glass on the walls. Best of all, it has the Gambler's Special.
It's a bit of a wink-wink, low voice order. It comes with steak cooked to order, three shrimps, potato or veggie dish of the day, and a salad. The price is all about lucky sevens – at any hour of the day it costs $7.77.
Alongside his upmarket Craftsteak in the same hotel, Tom Colicchio created 'wichcraft as a restaurant for the rest of us. It serves creative sandwiches and full plate meals with artisan breads, premium cheeses and meats, and fresh, seasonal veggies. Offerings include roasted pork loin with red cabbage, jalapenos and mustard on ciabatta roll, or sicilian tuna with fennel, black olives and lemon on baguette.
This mini version of the legendary Canter's in Los Angeles brings copious cured meats and pickles to those with wide enough mouths and big enough appetites. The fare comes with LA prices – $13 for a pastrami or corned beef sandwich – but frankly they are meant to be shared. Add fries and a seltzer and feel full for the next four hours for under $10 a head.
If you want to find the best Mexican food in town, go where the locals go. Dona Maria is known for savoury and cheap tamales which come in four styles: red (pork in a mild sauce), green (chicken in a spicy sauce), cheese (Monterey jack and green chilis) and sweet (pineapple and raisins). They cost just a few dollars a piece and are served with complimentary chips and fresh salsa. The jalapenos are fresh, the tortillas are oven-warm, and the fajita dishes are much too large for one person. Order margaritas by the pitcher and stay a while.
This casino hole in the wall serves a pretty good meal for under $10, along with Gold Medal microbrews straight from the tap. The bar runs seven house brews with names like All Nighter and Ramblin' Reck Amber Ale. Plus it has seasonal brews, and some pilsners and scotch ales. Sit in a row of cushioned banquettes or bar stools at the counter and try the trio of tenderloin fillet sliders ($9.25 including mushrooms and onions).
Downtown Las Vegas is cheap eats central. This 1940s hotel runs a 24-hour prime rib on its menu: 8-oz or the 12-oz cut for $7.95 and $9.95 respectively. You can also have pork chops for $9.95, fried or grilled chicken for $8.50 and catfish with hushpuppies (cornmeal dumplings) for $9.50. All come with soup or salad, plus potato and a veggie.
This may be the only establishment in Vegas more famous for its bathroom than its casino attractions: the men's room near the Brewpub sports a handsome chunk of the Berlin Wall. The pub itself offers brewed micro-beers made on the premises and a variety of pizza and burger options on the side, all for under $10. Even a petite prime rib comes within your budget.
Sometimes if you want to find the deals, you may have to travel. In this case it would be to Koval Lane, parallel to the Strip one block east, where you will find a piece of Old Vegas in this 24-hour café. It serves teriyaki chicken or a pork chop dinner for $8.99, while a $3.99 breakfast special can be ordered between 11 pm and 6 am."

To tell the effect of touch panels on my life, Intel prepared a very nice presentation but unfortunately it was so quick that I could not get a video. For this reason I can not transfer him.
Genius Tablet's became one of my most interesting products. These devices are perfect for architects, illustrators and designers.
In order for a laptop to be identified as a Ultrabook, Intel has set a few criteria. These criteria are;
- Can be opened in minimum 7th
- Thinner than 21mm
- At least 7 hours of battery life
- Intel Anti Theft Technology (Anti-theft)
- Intel Identity Protection (Secure access to programs)

It was held in various demos during the conferences. It was tested that both AMD and Intel laptops could not be shown without the videos. The machine with AMD went to ruin when it started to show 3 videos at the same time. Intel continued to show 9 videos at the same time.

Despite rising sensitivity toward sexual minorities in Japan, schools have a long way to go to improve the environment for LGBT students. But an elementary school teacher from Mie Prefecture hopes her efforts will result in change.
Takako Ogura, 57, a teacher at a public grade school in the town of Meiwa, has introduced her own textbook to teach students about gender identity disorders and related issues in her health and physical education classes. According to a recent survey by advertising giant Dentsu Inc., 1 in 13, or 7.6 percent, of 70,000 people polled consider themselves part of the LGBT community.
To address the situation, the education ministry in April issued a notice calling on all elementary, junior high and high schools to take measures to prevent bullying and discrimination against LGBT students. Ministry officials, however, admit that school textbooks lack information to encourage students to deepen their understanding on the issue. Read more via Japan Times

Elizabeth L. Silver�s first book, �The Execution of Noa P. Singleton,� is a well-written, hard-to-put-down, thought-provoking puzzler.
Unlike most mysteries, the question isn�t �Who did it?� since Noa states in the first chapter, �I know I did it,� and has spent 10 years in the Pennsylvania State Penitentiary awaiting execution.
The question is �Why did she do it?� The story is told by Noa as she writes a manuscript for her lawyer, with letters from her victim�s mother to her dead daughter ending each section.
The victim�s mother, a high-powered attorney, reversed her pro-death penalty stance, formed an anti-capital punishment organization, and hired a new lawyer for Noa. Since Noa had refused to testify at her trial or any of the appeals, the lawyer believes that the governor would grant Noa clemency if he heard her side of the story. Though Noa instantly regrets it, she agrees to write an explanation of her actions. With musings and asides, Noa presents her answer to �Why did she do what she did?�
Her single mother was a self-centered aspiring actress. She named her daughter Noah because she wanted a boy. (Noa dropped the �h� in high school to be more original.) When Noa was 10 months old, her mother dropped her and allowed her to fall down a flight of stairs. After calling 911, her mother quickly staged a break-in so she wouldn�t be blamed for Noa�s injuries. Once the paramedics arrived, she flirted with one and ignored her child.
Graduating as her high school class salutatorian, Noa won a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania and moved to Philadelphia. Two months later she suffered a miscarriage that ended both her education and her ability to have children. She stayed in Philadelphia where her father lived, a coincidence according to Noa, but an obsession according to her prosecutors.
When she did meet him, Noa discovered her father to be a former convict who now owned a bar. At his request they met at his bar once a month, and slowly became acquainted. Noa believed he was more anxious to build a relationship than she was.
Then Marlene Dixon, her victim�s mother, entered Noa�s life. It was from the very controlling Marlene that Noa learned that her father was dating Marlene�s daughter, Sarah. Marlene thought her college-educated daughter could do much better than an ex-convict for a lover.
As Sarah was ignoring her, Marlene felt desperate enough to enlist Noa�s help to break up the relationship. Though Noa was hurt that her father hadn�t told her about Sarah, she saw no reason to help Marlene. Marlene tried persuasion and then blackmail, but neither convinced Noa. Bribery did. Ten thousand dollars was a great deal of money to Noa.
She agreed to talk her father into ending the relationship with Sarah. In what Noa called information-gathering, but her prosecutor called stalking, Noa shadowed Sarah. While following her, Noa saw Sarah and her father leave a Planned Parenthood office with happy faces.
Noa was positive Sarah was pregnant. Later her father confessed that he actually didn�t want the baby. Of course, Marlene didn�t want the baby either. She devised several different methods to end the pregnancy. Between Noa�s account and the revelations in Marlene�s letters, the cause of Sarah�s death becomes clear.
As Noa tells her story, she includes thoughts on prison life and her approaching execution. While she ponders what her last words will be, she reviews famous last words. After expounding on the death penalty through history and in other countries, Noa proposes pay-for-view executions with the proceeds going to charity.
She describes the class system that exists in our judicial process. Since some people are more valuable to society, their killers are automatically executed. �Kill a police officer, get the needle. Kill your husband, get 25 to life.�
She explains how extenuating circumstances can affect a trial�s outcome. No matter how readers feel about the death penalty, they will have plenty of food for thought in �The Execution of Noa P. Singleton.�

Watercolor is Available
This little poppy is a blossom from one of my pots on the front patio. I think the petals on this flower look so fragile and delicate. Yet it has survived wind, and sun.
I planted my pots a little early and we had two more days of snow, I thought for certain my flowers would freeze. To my amazement they are thriving!
As the background was drying I took a drippy brush of water and dripped onto the background, as the drips dried I sprinkled regular table salt on the the drips and that is how I achieved my background.

Art speaks to me like a piece of music, it has emotions flowing through it and I love to create pictures that provoke emotional responses in return. I love classical and renaissance art and I am inspired by the great artists of history who make me reach up higher that I had dared. I love balance, in composition and colour. I love the play of light onto a surface or fabric, something that tells of more than you can first see. I enjoy the story in the picture, even if at first it hides behind the initial impact.
I am constantly imagining new compositions and love to build from one picture to the next. Even when I become too old to hold a brush, these pictures will fill my mind and refresh my soul.

text: Humanities › Languages How to Write a Letter in German: Format and Language Share Flipboard Email Print Getty Images/Stefan Ziese Languages German Vocabulary Basics History & Culture Pronunciation & Conversation Grammar English as a Second Language Spanish French Italian Japanese Mandarin Russian English Grammar View More by Ingrid Bauer Ingrid Bauer, who is fluent in German, has been teaching and tutoring the German language since 1996. She has a teaching degree and an M.A. in German studies. Updated September 25, 2018 Aside from official documentation or for those few older relatives who may not have internet access, most people these days depend on e-mail for written communication. Taking this into consideration, the following information may be used for either traditional letters, postcards or e-mail. The most important aspect of letter-writing in German is to determine whether it will be a formal or a casual letter. In German, there are far more stipulations when writing a formal letter. Not adhering to these formalities, you risk sounding rude and impertinent. So please keep the following in mind when writing a letter. Opening Greeting These standard formal greetings can be used for business correspondence or with anyone with whom you would normally address as Sie. Formal Sehr geehrter Herr….,Sehr geehrte Frau...,Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, If you are writing to someone with a professional title such as a doctor or a lawyer, then include it in the opening greeting: Sehr geehrte Frau Rechtsanwältin NeubauerSehr geehrter Herr Doktor Schmidt Casual Lieber…., (This is the equivalent to "dear" and used only for close male relatives or friends.Liebe……., (Same thing as above, except used for females.) Unlike English, the word that follows your greeting begins with a small letter. Liebe Maria,ich bin so froh… Note: The more modern way is to end the greeting in a comma, however, you may come across the old-fashioned pre-computer/e-mail way of putting an exclamation point at the end of the greeting: Liebe Maria! Personal Pronouns It is extremely important to choose the appropriate personal pronoun. By not doing so, you may sound impolite. For a formal letter, you will address the person as Sie, with the obligatory capital S at all times (other forms are Ihr and Ihnen) Otherwise, for a close friend or relative, you will address them as du. Note: If you by chance peruse books on letter-writing published before 2005, you will notice that du, dir and dich are capitalized as well. That's the former rule prior to die neue Rechtschreibungsreform when all personal pronouns used for addressing someone in a letter were capitalized. Letter Body To get ideas for general polite conversation, see the Common Greetings and Courtesies and Thank You and You're Welcome articles. Also, see our articles on how to ask questions and terms of endearment. These sentences may be helpful as you compose your letter: Ich weiß, dass ich schon lange nicht geschrieben habe…I know that I haven't written in a long time... Ich war so beschäftigt in letzter Zeit,... I was so busy lately... Vielen Dank für deinen Brief. Ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut.Thank you very much for your letter. I was very happy to receive it. Ich hoffe, dass Sie einen herrlichen Sommer verbracht haben. Ich hoffe, dass du einen herrlichen Sommer verbrachst hast. I hope you've had a wonderful summer. Ich hoffe, dass du dich besser fühlst. Ich hoffe, dass Sie sich besser fühlen. I hope you are feeling better. Mein Freund hat mir deine/Ihre E-mail Adresse gegeben. My friend gave me your e-mail address. Ich würde gerne wissen... I would like to know. Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass ...I'm glad to hear that... Vielen Dank für deine/Ihre schnelle Rückantwort. Thank you very much for your quick response. Concluding the Letter Unlike in English, there is no comma after a concluding expression in German. Gruß Helga As in English, your name can be preceded by a possessive adjective: GrußDein Uwe You can use: Dein(e) -> if you are close to this person. Deine if you are femaleIhr(e) -> if you have a formal relationship with the person. Ihre if you are female. Some other concluding expressions include: Casual Grüße aus ...(city where you're from)Viele GrüßeLiebe GrüßeViele Grüße und KüsseAlles LiebeCiau (more for E-mail, postcards)Mach's gut (E-mail, postcards) Formal Mit besten GrüßenMit herzlichen GrüßenFreundliche GrüßeMit freundlichem Gruß Tip: Avoid writing Hochachtungsvoll or any form thereof—it sounds very old-fashioned and stilted. E-mail Lingo Some people love it; others despise it. Either way, e-mail jargon is here to stay and helpful to know. Here are a few of the most common German ones. mfg - Mit freundlichen Grüßenvg - Viele Grüßeld - Lieb' Dichlg - Liebe Grüßegn8 - Gute Nachthdl - Hab dich lieb On the Envelope All names, whether it be people or a business should be addressed in the accusative. That's because you are either writing it "An (to)…." someone or it is simply implied. An Frau/Herr…Frau/Herrn…An die Firma (company)... Continue Reading

Fulham have signed Spanish goalkeeper Fabri from Turkish club Besiktas for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal, the English Premier League club said Tuesday.
London side Fulham also hold an option to keep the 30-year-old at Craven Cottage for an additional 12 months.
READ ALSO: No man of honour will return to PDP, says Oshiomhole
"I'm delighted to be at an historic club like Fulham, the oldest club in London. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to be in the Premier League with Fulham," Fabri told the club's website.
"Everything is very positive for me and I want to take the opportunity to make the most of this goal of being in the Premier League," he added.
Fabri started his career with Deportivo La Coruna, where he worked with Jose Sambade Carreira, now Fulham's goalkeeping coach, and played for several other Spanish clubs in Real Valladolid, Recreativo de Huelva, and Real Betis.
He moved to Turkey in 2016 and went onto play Champions League and Europa League football for Besiktas.
Fabri was also voted the best goalkeeper in the Super Lig for the last two years.
"He is a tremendous player that we've targeted for some time," said Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan.

"His scouting profile and his data profile are both strong, and he has exceptional career credentials including Champions League experience, plus he has worked well with our first-team goalkeeping coach Jose Sambade Carreira in the past, so we expect his addition will make us a more complete and competitive football club."
Fabri is Fulham's third new signing since their promotion from the second-tier Championship after both Maxime Le Marchand and Jean Michael Seri joined from French side Nice.

Helovia has adopted a stats system for its fighting for a variety of reasons, which this tutorial will hopefully guide you to understanding!
■ Character skills – stats are created specific for your character and help define that character's skill sets, both their weaknesses and their strengths. By utilizing stats we can also ensure that simply because a player may be good at fighting, their character needs to be practicing the art to successfully develop.
■ Receiving stats – within the stats thread there is a form you fill out to receive your stats, easy peasy! Remember to only include items/magic/companions you currently have, as staff will be cross referencing with the character records for accuracy. Make sure to include your companion's age! Similarly when describing your character, you only need to include physical traits that would influence the stats.
■ Updating stats – over the course of gameplay your character will begin to earn some things that will alter their stats. It is your responsibility to notify staff within the stats thread when this occurs so that the values can be adjusted. Usually these changes are things that will improve your stats! Changes that are important to stats include: battle buffs (VP), magic, companions, offensive or defensive items, or a change of some ranks.
*Note: whatever stats you start a fight with are what will be applied for that entire fight. If your stats do change those changes will not be applied in the middle of a fight, but will be in the next fight that starts.
■ Creation of stats – once the stat request form has been posted a staff member will do some research on the breed, comparing with similar characters that already have stats. A new tab will be made on the stats spreadsheet for your character, where the values are automatically calculated by the formulas to make sure all the math is correct. Staff will discuss with you any changed to the base stats numbers as needed to match the description you provide of your character and the breed guidelines. Once satisfactory values are achieved for yourself and the staff member, the stats will be approved. They aren't official until added to your profile!
■ Formulas – the formulas were designed by Tamme who thoroughly researched similar systems used by other games, like Dungeons and Dragons, along with the differences in horse breeds, many of which came about through history for a specifically desired trait, or in our case, a desired stat! The first couple of months the stats system went through its beta testing and the formulas were rearranged at times based on player feedback and results admin saw in the different fight pairings and judgement results of characters.
- Base stats: strength, speed, agility, and endurance.
This is where admin really consider the breed and description of your horse to design these stats. Admin can apply a value anywhere from 0 to 10, with the average being a value of 4, 5, or 6.
Once each base stat has been assigned a value, they're all totaled and cannot exceed a range of 20 to 22. The higher sums are saved for "battle breeds" which have historically been bred for use in battle.
- Asset stats: offensive item, defensive item, magic, companion
Only items which would benefit in a fight are included, hence the significance of calling them offensive and defensive items.
The average character can have 2 abilities, and each ability can be upgraded once. A value of 0.5 is applied for each magical ability and upgrade a character has.
The average character can have 1 companion, and each companion reaches their ability in monthly stages, so a value of 0.5 is added for companions at ages 0 months, 4 months, 8 months and 12 months.
The items, magic and companions have a maximum value of 2. The exceptions to this are the Hunter and Mage buffs, which give companion and magic a maximum value of 3, and demi-gods, which can have a magic maximum of 3. The reason these items are capped is because they do not inherently improve a fighter, but do provide some advantages which should be numerically accounted for. However the bulk of their worth is applied in post with how you write their use.
- Hit Points (HP): the amount of damage your character can tolerate before fainting (0 HP), or in other words, their health.
HP = [(strength+speed+agility+endurance+offensive item+defensive item)*2] + 20 + (Magic+Companion) - (strength+speed+agility+endurance penalties) + (1 for all buffs except Pinnalce) + (5 for Pinnacle Buff)
The first part of the HP formula: [(strength+speed+agility+endurance+offensive item+defensive item)*2] + 20
All the values for the base stats are added up, plus any offensive or defensive items. That total is then multiplied by a value of 2 and a sum of 20 added, which will ensure you'll have enough HP to last through a fight without fainting.
The second part of the HP formula: + (Magic, Companion)
The values for magic and companions are then added in. These are not multiplied by 2 because having magic or companions doesn't inherently make a character a better fighter, so they should not be given the same numerical weight with the stats.
The third part of the HP formula: - (strength+speed+agility+endurance penalties)
Any negative values due to applied statistical penalties are subtracted to provide realism for any permanent impairments your character has, physical or mental. These penalties are determined at the creation of your stats based on the description of your character and their genetic health. Penalties can be removed with permanent healing of the malady, such as through a quest.
The fourth part of the HP formula: + (1 for all buffs except Pinnacle)
A value of 1 is continuously added to HP as your character unlocks buffs. this is the whole idea where the more your character fights, the better they get at it!
The fifth part of the HP formula: + (5 for Pinnacle Buff)
The final buff adds a value of 5 to the HP, a huge feat for your character and thus a huge reward!
*Note: In the event that a fighter's HP does drop to 0, the battle will be stopped and judged to that point.
- Battle stats: attack, defense, and damage.
These values are calculated by formulas utilizing your character's base stats, trait stats, rank, and buffs. Most of these formulas were configured by Tamme through multiple cross-references with other games and systems.
Leaders have the ability to choose their bonus value, being able to apply +2 to attack, +2 to defense, or +1 to both attack and defense. This value does not directly increase the battle stat by that number, instead that is how much is added into the formula.
Attack = 1/2 [(speed+endurance+offensive item) - (speed+endurance penalties) + (2 for lead or warrior rank) + (1 for buffs: Endure, Swift, Aim, Stay)]
Ability to land a hit (how fast you can strike, how agile to make a hit)
Defense = 1/2 [(agility+speed+endurance+defense item) + (1 for sneak rank) + (1 for buffs: Endure, Swift, Dance, Numb, Shield)] +1 (for everybody) - ((speed+agility+endurance penalties)*1/2)
Ability to avoid a hit (how fast you can evade, how agile to evade, how much endurance to withlast your opponent)
Damage = [((2*agility)+(3*strength))*1/5 + ((1 for buffs: Bulk, Dance, Sense) - (strength+agility penalties))*1/2] round to nearest 0.5
How much a landed hit hurts the opponent (how agile you are, how strong you are)
■ Battle Buffs – As you reach certain levels of VP, shown below, buffs are unlocked. These add into the stat formulas but also can be considered in your writing. If your character has the Endure buff, they will now have slightly more endurance than they did before. You can (and should!) utilize this to your advantage when fighting.
☼- 3 VP: Endure :: improved stamina - +1 stat to endurance
☼- 5 VP: Swift :: increased speed - +1 stat to speed
☼- 7 VP: Bulk :: increased strength - +1 stat to strength
☼- 10 VP: Dance :: increased agility - +1 stat to agility
☼- 13 VP: Aim :: increased accuracy - +1 stat to attack (the total)
☼- 15 VP: Hunter :: additional companion - +1 to companion
☼- 17 VP: Numb :: pain tolerance - +1 stat to defense (the total)
☼- 20 VP: Mage :: additional magic - +1 stat to magic
☼- 23 VP: Shield :: deflect attack - +1 stat to defense (the total)
☼- 25 VP: Stay :: decrease companion - +1 stat to attack (the total)
☼- 27 VP: Sense :: decrease opponent - +1 stat to damage (the total)
☼- 30 VP: Pinnacle :: battle boss - +5 overall HP
■ Rank Bonuses – Characters with certain rank magic in their herds are awarded bonuses to account for the training they would be doing.
- Govern - Characters in the 'Govern' rank class can choose to add +2 to attack, +2 to defense or +1 to both.
- Fortify - Characters in the 'Fortify' rank class are given +2 to attack.
- Sneak - Characters in the 'Sneak' rank class are given +1 to defense.
■ Amulets – Amulets do not always add to the stats because they are a single-use item. Instead, the values listed below are added to the character's stats for a single dice roll after the amulet has been said to be used. Once the amulet is used, it breaks, and is removed from the character's stats. Be sure to note in your battle rolling thread that you have used an amulet or else it may be missed as the admin usually do not read the posts until they are being judged.
God of the Sun :: Storing Amulet :: +2 Attack, +2 Damage
God of the Moon :: Stealing Amulet :: +2 Defense, +2 Attack
God of the Earth :: Warding Amulet :: +4 Defense
God of the Spark :: Deflection Amulet :: +2 Defense, +2 Damage

Do you love The Penderwicks? How about the All-of-a-Kind Family? Then this is for you.
City kids hold a special place in my heart, and the Vanderbeeker family lives in New York in a brownstone on 141st Street. The family of Mom, Dad, four sisters, and a brother are both real and quirky in character. They are just the kind of people you hope will be your neighbors and friends.
This modern day classic shows a bit of what big family living is really like. Each child with their own talents and interests, all different but yet somehow managing to get along on most days.
The story begins when we find out that their reclusive landlord Beiderman (what a great name- for you Seinfeld fans I read it with the inflection of Newman!) decides not to renew their lease, and the family is forced into a move with only one month notice. No one is happy about this turn of events, and the children try to find a solution on their own with the help of their friends and neighbors.
I was thrilled to read this DRC through Edelweiss and wish this new author Karina Glaser much success! Fingers crossed that this is just the first book in a series.
The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street will be published by HMH Books for Young Readers (October 3, 2017)

Sold directly to the consumer. Kaus, the owner, is a straight-shooter and is noted for his customer servie. The Stratos Monos go for around $2K and are exceptional. His smaller and lower-priced Khartago amps received a very positive review in Absolute Sound.
