InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) just announced that their 5,000 point a night PointBreak hotels list is now available. These properties are available for reservations starting July 31 through October 31, 2017. So you have the weekend to go over the list and figure out any reservations that appeal to you. There are over 100 participating hotels, which you can check out here.
At the participating properties, you can get a free night at many InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites for only 5,000 points a night! This is an unbelievable offer and participating properties seem to rotate every few months or so. For the most part, do not expect there to be many high end properties on the list. Most hotels are outside major cities and along highways, but you still might find a great hotel for your needs! You can learn more about IHG's PointBreak offers here.
For those also with a zero account balance, there are a few good ways to earn points to redeem for the 5,000 point hotel:
- IHG Rewards Credit Card – Earn 80,000 points after spending $1,000 in the first three months. This is the publicly available offer, but there is a targeted 100,000 point offer where if you apply for the 80k offer you can secure message Chase and they will most likely match you to the targeted offer! Annual fee is $49/year (waived the first year), and after each account anniversary you'll receive a free night to use at any IHG hotels. Related blog post detailing card offer and benefits.
- Transferring points from Chase Ultimate Rewards – You can transfer your Chase UR points at a 1:1 ratio, although compared to the other transfer partners it is not a great value. But if this is your only way to get the 5,000 points then it can definitely be worthwhile.
PointBreak reservations go fast, so if there is a hotel you are interested in, I suggest booking immediately when they come available. Also, IHG only allows you to book two PointBreak reservations per account.

Sex offenses are among the most aggressively prosecuted crimes and the stakes are extremely high. Not only do defendants charged with a sex offense face harsh criminal and civil penalties, these offenses carry a strong social stigma that can destroy careers, reputations, marriages, and seriously impede a person's future prospects. These factors make anyone charged with a sex offense particularly vulnerable, and it is imperative to seek the aid of an experienced and adept sex assault lawyer to protect, guide, and fight for you during this difficult and frightening ordeal.
A wide range of crimes fall under the umbrella of "sex offenses," such as rape and sexual assault, prostitution-related offenses, internet crimes, pornography, and child pornography offenses. You should know that there are defenses available for all sex offense charges and a skilled sex crime attorney can examine your case and put forth an intelligent, aggressive defense. In a rape case, for example, a potential defense could be mistaken identity, that the act was consensual, or that the allegations are false.
Our lawyers have the experience, expertise, and resources to represent clients charged with any sex offense. We will carefully examine all aspects of our client's case. We painstakingly review the alleged facts and the sexual assault laws to find weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence and failures in police procedure. These weaknesses can be used to obtain reduced charges or even dismissed charges.
When it will help our defense, we employ experienced and respected experts, such as private investigators, DNA specialists, or forensic evidence specialists. In some cases, it may be helpful to have a psychotherapist meet with our client for an evaluation, as the therapist's assessment can strengthen our defense strategy.
The attorneys at Charles A. Ross & Associates have been very successful in getting sex offense charges dismissed or greatly reduced, or negotiating dispositions that allow defendants to avoid the stigma of a sex offense conviction and the accompanying civil penalties. Sometimes, however, trial is the best option. Our attorneys are experienced and highly talented litigators who have obtained acquittals or other positive outcomes in many cases.
Important information for non-citizens: Convictions for sex offenses can and often will carry severe immigration penalties, including deportation. Immigration consequences are often harsher than the criminal sentence. If you are a non-citizen charged with a sex offense, you need a defense attorney who understands the potential immigration consequences of a conviction and can help you avoid or reduce the risks. Our skilled and knowledgeable attorneys can help protect you from those immigration consequences.

Creating a fully accessible built environment is critical issue
The Access Unlimited supports any process that allows inclusive design
We've been part of making significant strides to build an inclusive environment
'Inclusive design' is now in practice and under-pinned by recent legislation
We share our knowledge with all parties that drive this initiative forward
Inclusive Design is about making places everyone can use….
Inclusive design (ID) is the tool we use to put equality into the built environment. Inclusive design is a process by which places are designed and built, managed and used. Inclusive design allows a environment that can be used with equal ease and dignity. It offers us a place which makes us feel we belong. It's also a place where we see people like ourselves around. ID should include technical, physical, psychological, emotional etc that give dignity of use.
"If all of my access needs are met all of the time, then I am no longer disabled. Yes I will still have A.N.Other impairment and that may lead in later life to have a knock on effect on my general health. And therefore, by its very nature, develop another type of impairment but again, if that 'other impairments' access issue is met, I am still not disabled. Society has a collective responsibility to all its Citizens regardless of colour, creed, sexual preference or impairment(s) to include and not exclude, people, which ever background, assimilate into which ever culture – we integrate systems and procedures". ©Aindre Reece-Sheerin 2002
Some more facts about the disabled….
Approx. 11m people live with an impairment in the UK, recognised by the Equality Act 2010
26% of British adults are disabled as defined by the Equality Act 2010
Only 8% of disabled people in the UK use a wheelchair
The projected figure for disability in 2030 is 18m plus
The ILO estimates that there are 610m disabled people worldwide
Four hundred million disabled people live in the world's developing countries

I Corinthians 13
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.
Love is indispensable
And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Last week — Slapton. Cold. Breath. Epiphany 3 — body parts I Cor. 12.
This week — Epiphany 4 — Presentation of Christ — I Cor. 13. Most widely used and quoted part of any of letters of Paul — used at weddings — incorrectly applied to romantic love.
Marriage prep — love is patient, kind, long suffering, does not dishonour others, is not easily angered, always perseveres. Oh yeah?
Love — different kinds of love — Eros (romantic, passionate) Storge (family, parent-child) Phileo (affection, warm friendship, Platonic) Agape (unconditional, Christian, sacrificial, expecting nothing in return, love of God)
Dysfunctional Church — Paul writing to Corinth — threatening to pull apart. As such, can be helpful read at weddings!
Sheer familiarity and depth of meaning — a reading to avoid as preacher — our churches pulling apart — our relationships constantly under threat — what better text that this well-known one to tackle?
Love described by Paul — agape — costly, sacrificial, unselfish. Follows on from chapter 12 — church as body of Christ — all have different gifts of the Spirit — one not more or less important than another.
Gifts of Spirit — Paul returns to this theme in chapter 14. Chapter 13 seems an interlude — but is crucial to what Paul wants to say to Corinthian church. Love is a still more excellent way — 12:31b added at start of reading. Love is the key — beyond measuring — beyond comparison — (Gk).
Corinthian church — what was wrong? Competitive — measured status, worth, abilities, gifts one against another. Obsessed with knowing 'mysteries' — speaking in tongues. Rich treated as special in Communion — served first with choicest food — poor back of line.
Corinthians putting these before love for sisters and brothers. Paul wants people of God to move on from competition and resentment and inequality to love "beyond measuring."
In today's church we are tied up and arguing about all sorts of issues. Sexuality, liturgy, types of worship, status of bishops, doctrine, authority of scripture, and who can do what. If in the process people forget about loving their brothers and sisters, such things end up being worthless. Resounding gongs or clanging cymbals.
Without love, it does not matter what budgets, buildings, or mission strategies we have. Such things do not give the church the shape that God desires. We may pursue various forms of spirituality, or proper doctrine, or activism in the name of justice. However, in our pursuit of these otherwise fine things, we must not forget that the church is called to be a community that practises love. For "Love is patient love is kind" — sounds rather static — try love causes people to act with patience — love shows kindness — love never cases to work — there is no end to loving.
Paul uses love as the subject to 16 verbs in a row — count them from vv 4-8. Love is that important. He concentrates on what love does — not what love is. There's much love in our churches —but we can do with a lot more.
Sins that beset us include division, schism, refusal to take communion with other Christians, attitudes toward women clergy, my way is only way, and so on.
Locally we can love each other more. Nationally and internationally we can pray for the ability for our leaders to disagree yet remain in full communion and love with each other. Capacity for tension and disagreement that does not lead to division.
Love never ends — Paul finishes. Faith, hope, love. Paul names these — central values of church.
Faith will one day become sight, proof. Hope will one day be fulfilled, reality. But love is different. Never ends. Will remain — God's love never fails, never falters.
Cannot apply to romantic love. Nor can we be rescued by saying the chapter refers only to God's love, and we are too failing and selfish to aspire to what God asks of us — real love for each other that never fails.
Paul certainly expects that this love will be lived out by the church; that's the whole purpose of this chapter. There is good news here, though. Verse 12 affirms that we have already been fully known, by God. We are not simply left to our own capacity for love. We can love because God has already fully known us and loved us. This is the model — now all we have to do is follow him.
Here lies hope for the future — regardless of the mess we seem to make of it in our churches everywhere. Now we see only dimly. In the end, we will see clearly. However childish we are in our dealings with each other, one day this will all be behind us.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Certified Silver & Gold Dollar Coins
US dollar coins can be made from gold, silver or other metals; though because the first minted dollar coins back in 1794 were made of silver, it's common to refer to any composition white dollar coin as a 'silver' and the golden colored coins as 'golden dollars.' United States dollar coins are still minted, despite a low frequency of usage due to the prevalence of the dollar bill.
Morgan Silver Dollar
Undoubtedly one of the most common silver dollars, the Morgan silver dollar replaced the Seated Liberty dollar and was minted inconsistently between 1878 and 1921. The Morgan dollar derives its name from the designer of the coin, George T. Morgan. Morgan designed the obverse side of the Morgan coin to feature a profile of Lady Liberty with the reverse featuring an eagle with outstretched wings. At The Happy Coin we feature a large selection of silver Morgan dollars, including the extremely rare 1893 S Morgan Dollar. This silver dollar's value far exceeds its face value both for its uniqueness and limited availability.
More Silver Dollars with Value
Beyond the highly searched Morgan silver dollar, we also carry Seated Liberty dollar coins, Peace Dollars and Eisenhower dollars. One particular hard-to-find coin we carry is the 1869 Seated Liberty Dollar PCGS Proof 64. If you have another coin on your Want list, give us a call and we'll be happy to reach out to our connections within the industry to quickly find you your coin at the most affordable price possible!!

For some reason, I was behind schedule this year for decorating and presents (buying and wrapping). I am still trying to figure out where the month of December went. The Christmas decorations this year are not too much different than last year (see last year's pictures here).
Here's our tree (sans presents). Thankfully, I am happy to report that since I took this picture, we have wrapped a bunch of presents, so our tree looks much more complete. I was just too lazy to take an updated picture.
The mantel decorated with Ikea vases, the lumiere candleholders from CB2 (what a bargain those are), and a fun ribbon wreath from Michaels.
This is a bad picture, but you can see my cute twig reindeer on the buffet! There is a bowl (washed out by the sun) full of silver ornaments. I also wrapped thick red damask ribbon around the upholstered chairs and tied it in a bow. Please excuse my coffee cup (it is not part of the Christmas decor).
And my favorite Christmas Target find -- the red sequin tree. Those little blocks (also from Target) say "merry christmas." You can also see our new devon mirror from Z Gallerie. Love it!
There are a few other decorations in the kitchen and entry way, which I will (hopefully) post soon!

Anchorage commercial real estate market going strong
Commercial real estate in Anchorage remains in high demand, according to Reliant Advisory Services founder Per Bjorn-Roli.
He addressed the Anchorage Building Owners and Managers Association, or BOMA, Aug. 8.
"The new construction market continues to be very attractive," Bjorn-Roli said.
New commercial Class A vacancy declined from 7.4 percent to 4.8 percent over the year beginning in June 2013, he said. Over the same time, existing Class A vacancy grew slightly, from 4.4 percent to 4.6 percent in Anchorage.
Overall citywide, Class A vacancy fell 1.7 percent over the past year, from 5.3 percent to 4.6 percent, Bjorn-Roli told BOMA members.
In Downtown Anchorage, the market relaxed slightly but remains extremely tight, he reported. Class A vacancy there went from 2.7 percent to 3.6 percent over the past year. In Midtown, blended available Class A space diminished a little, from 6.3 percent vacancy down to an even 6 percent.
On the east side of Anchorage vacancy fell from 9.7 percent all the way to an extremely tight 1.7 percent. The 2013 vacancy spike was related to the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium office relocation, he said.
The Class B market bucked the larger trend in declining vacancies, going from 6.6 percent to 7.2 percent, Bjorn-Roli said. This was due mostly to the popularity of the new Class A space available in Anchorage, he said.
Recent deliveries to the Anchorage market are filling up, according to Bjorn-Roli. The 14-story JL Tower, developed by Anchorage-based JL Properties Inc., between Tudor Road and 36th Avenue in the city's Midtown is at 94 percent occupancy, he said.
JL Properties' nearby 200,000 square-foot Centerpoint West building, completed in 2010, is now fully occupied, Bjorn-Roli said, and the 120,000 square-foot 188 West Northern Lights building is 70 percent occupied.
Also in Midtown, the Three Cedars building near Northern Lights Boulevard and the Seward Highway is available for lease.
JL Properties' 100,000 square-foot office building under construction at International Airport Road and C Street will be open in October, according to the developer. That building will help continue a two-year cycle for commercial deliveries, Bjorn-Roli said.
The city has seen an average of just more than 150,000 square feet of office space delivered annually over the past 10 years, he said. In 2011, less than 50,000 square feet of new space became available; a year later deliveries jumped to more than 250,000 square feet; and in 2013 there were no significant deliveries, according to Reliant Advisory's figures. Actual deliveries this year are expected to be about 250,000 square feet again, Bjorn-Roli said.
An increase in the average asking price for office space of 15 cents per square foot over the past year has led to a "mixed story" for rental rates, he said.
The increase in advertised rates is according to the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS.
"When you look at the actual closed transactions, what you see is basically stable," Bjorn-Roli said.
Newly constructed Class A space is averaging $3.14 per square foot, he said, with the highest rates at $3.65 and the lowest at $2.90 per square foot.
Existing Class A is renting for between $2.30 and $3.10 per square foot, with an average price of $2.64.
Class B office space in Anchorage is averaging just less than $2 per square foot, ranging from a low of $1.55 to a high of $2.25 per square foot, he said.

Charities benefit from 'Bin It For Good' campaign in Winsford
7 June 2017The results are in and the recent anti-litter campaign 'Bin it for Good' has raised an impressive £485 for three Winsford-based charities.
Launched earlier this year, the three month initiative - which is a partnership between Cheshire West and Chester Council, The Wrigley Company and Keep Britain Tidy - aimed to change behaviour whilst turning cleaner streets into cash for charities and good causes.
The 'Bin it for Good' charity pot logo was proudly displayed on designated public bins around Winsford. The more litter that went into these charity pot bins, instead of on the ground, the more money the featured charity received.
Cotswold House received £100, the Salvation Army received £285 and the Winsford Sensations Dance Group received £100.
The Council's Director of Place Operations, Maria Byrne said "I'm delighted that local charities have benefited from this innovative campaign. The learning from this project will hopefully inspire some similar campaigns in the future."

I started on a tidy up of my sewing/knitting/make anything room yesterday. I cleared possibly 1sqm of space and came up with no less than one dozen unfinished objects.
So I've decided that an absolutely necessary part of this clean up will be terminating the UFOs. I made a start last night on my Red Oak jacket – so close to finishing that all I had to do was find the remaining balls of wool, finish the collar and seam. Already up to the seaming!
As part of my return to regular blogging and a motivation to keep tidying up, I'll post on my terminator progress.
Like everyone else, we've been shocked at the destruction first in Christchurch and now in Japan. We're pretty strict on not letting the kids watch or hear too much of the news about these kinds of events – it's too easy for them to be overwhelmed or to think the event is repeating or will happen to them. We explain what's happened, what's being done to help and so forth. We'll select a news video on YouTube for example, one we've already checked, and talk them through that.
There's usually plenty of questions and we do our best to answer those. A Montessori curriculum helps here – they have an above average general science knowledge – so our discussions can be clear, factual and reassuring. Being on the most geologically stable continent on earth helps since our two our natural worriers.
But yesterday I saw something that I hadn't seen before. The lass has a self-assemble doll house and she had that set up, full of furniture and her very small pets. A friend was over yesterday and I heard them chatting about the earthquake in Japan. The friends' mother had been in Japan recently on a business trip and there was talk of 'I'm glad it didn't happen while she was there'. I recalled also that I had spoken of Christchurch – I visited during a conference some years ago – and how beautiful it was.
Sometime during the afternoon I realised the dollhouse was a ramshackle mess, missing walls etc. I asked later what had happened. 'An earthquake' the lass calmly explained.
I took a closer look later and realised all the inhabitants had been moved out before the earthquake.

|Paynesville Press - October 4, 2006
City accepts grant
The Paynesville City Council took the following actions at their meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
The council approved an investigation fee for Inspectron, Inc., (the city's building inspector) to use in cases where a resident does not apply for a building permit before starting construction.
The council set the investigation fee as the same as the permit fee, but not more than $50, in addition to the cost for the building permit.
The council approved the new fee on a 3-2 vote with Mayor Jeff Thompson and councilors Jeff Bertram and Dennis Zimmerman voting in favor and councilors Tom Lindquist and Jean Soine voting against it.
Lindquist opposed the measure because he feels the building code is confusing and people honestly don't know when they need permits. He also said that the city is overcoded and fears that another fee might prompt people to overturn the entire code, which he said would be a mistake.
Following the vote, Bertram moved to reconsider the vote, an unusual procedure, because he said Soine had not expressed any opposition to the matter. He said she owed it to the council and public to make her reasons known.
Soine responded by saying that she thought the fee might anger people, but Bertram said that she had voted for adopting the state building code, which Paynesville is not required to do, and that he did not want her to criticize the council decision.
Thompson explained that the city did opt to adopt the entire state building code, which requires building permits, because the city someday will reach a population of 3,500 when the state building code is mandatory.
Bertram's motion to reconsider the vote died without a second, and the original 3-2 vote carried.
The council was informed that Inspectron, Inc., the city's building inspector, will be conducting a survey of local contractors and all city residents who have gotten a building permit within the last year.
The city council will hold a joint meeting with the Planning Commission on Wednesday, Nov. 8, to discuss the survey results.
The council accepted a $95,000 grant from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the trail from the city to the lake. Along with the $261,000 federal grant, this DNR grant will pay for most of this project, said Bertram, who is a consultant for the trail project. Construction was expected to begin on this trail section on Monday, Oct. 3, with work being done by mid-November at the latest.
Another four miles of trail - from the city to the Glacial Lakes State Trail and around Baywater Road to the south side of Lake Koronis - are scheduled to be built in 2007, Bertram added.
The council was informed that MnDOT has agreed to restore Cemetery Road and Co. Rd. 130 to its original proposal, city administrator Renee Eckerly told the council, who then agreed that there was no reason for a joint meeting between the city, township, and MnDOT to express concerns about the change. (This proposal included not finishing Cemetery Road and using the airport driveway to connect the new Cemetery Road to the existing road.)
Eckerly also told the council that MnDOT District 8 is still meeting with MnDOT aeronautics about their Highway 23 proposal, though MnDOT District 8 would not discuss this with her.
The council rescinded a motion from its previous meeting in September to purchase a new tanker truck for the fire department. The council was informed by fireman Roger Torborg and fire chief Jack Winter that the bidder can no longer get 2006 engines and chassis for a truck.
The council rejected all the other bids and authorized the fire department to update its specs and to readvertise its bid proposal.
The council approved a revised final plat for Heatherwood Plat 3. Originally, the council had approved a final plat for this development on the east end of town in August, but the county raised an issue since one of the outlots was landlocked. This forced a change where one residential lot was added to the outlot to give it street access.
The final plat for the 20-acre development now contains 31 residential lots and two outlots.
The council approved the final plat for this with the inclusion of an easement across one lot to give the city access to the other outlot, where a stormwater pond will be located.
The council was informed by city engineer Chuck DeWolf that only a few minor checklist items remained for the city's street project this summer (including fixing a bad spot on the trail by Lake Avenue). The city council will hold a final hearing about assessments for the project on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 6:30 p.m.
The council was informed that underground utility work in Ampe Morningside Plat 5 was finished and that street construction would start in the private development.
The council was informed that the city and one of the new employee unions are entering mediation. The city continues to meet with the other unions to negotiate a new contract. The council met in a closed session following their regular meeting to continue discussions about their negotiating strategy.
The council approved a request from the Paynesville Area Garden Club to utilize land at the BMX Park for garden plots. The park includes four acres and the garden club wants to use an acre or less, said public works director Ron Mergen. Water is available at the site, and for the first year, the city would supply it at no charge, though the garden club, which would charge rent for the plots, hopes to afford fencing and water in the future.
The council approved a variance for Phil and Bonnie Bailey at their residence on Koronis Avenue. They want to build a 10' by 10' deck that would be 11.5 feet from Koronis Avenue - the same setback as their garage - but less than the 20-foot setback required, thus the need for the variance.
The council set a public hearing to certify past-due garbage, water, sewer, snow removal, and mowing bills to the county for the purposes of placing the debts on next year's property taxes for Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 6:30 p.m. Bertram, who works for West Central Sanitation, abstained from the vote.
The council approved increasing salaries for council members by one percent in 2007 and one percent in 2008 plus increasing per diems from $40 for a half day and $80 for a full day to $45 for a half day and $90 for a full day. The yearly salary for the mayor will increase to $4,040 for 2007 (up from $4,000), and the yearly salary for council members will increase to $3,030 in 2007, up from $3,000. The council can only increase its salary before a new council is elected (every two years). The council had only increased its compensation once in the past ten years, several members said.
The council voted to remove Thompson from the Personnel Committee. He had been added to the committee during its search for a new administrator.
The council approved hiring the following election judges for the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 7: Janice Zumwalde (head judge), Lorraine Adams, Renee Eckerly, Sheryl Fuchs, Pete Hoppe, Christine Lundgren, Weston Nehring, Ken Ramthun, and Carolyn Swyter.
The council approved a new check signing policy that requires the signature of the city administrator and the mayor for all checks. Their back-ups are the bookkeeper and the acting mayor respectively. In emergencies, a single signer can issue a check using a stamped signature of the other signer.
The council approved allowing Bud and Leola Wendroth to hold a garage sale at a residence on Highway 23 without notifying their neighbors. They had planned to hold their last garage sale of the fall over Labor Day but were rained out.

Jaguar Repair & Service Las VegasJaguar began marketing its luxury sedans in the United States during the 1950s. Jaguar introduced its well known E-type coupe while drawing upon the popularity of British culture in the United States during the 60's. In the 1970s, a Jaguar XJ12 was the fastest production car of its time because of its 12-cylinder, high performance engine. Since the company's inception in 1928, the Jaguar brand has been synonymous with old-world charm and the traditional luxury and refinement of the British upper class. Jaguar has sought to make over its line up in recent years.

According to a recent Public Citizen Report, the healthcare workplace is one of the most common industries where injuries or illnesses occur, with 653,000 nurses, aides, orderlies and others, become injured or fall ill every year. Approximately 45 percent of all workplace incidents in the United States which result in lost workdays occur in the healthcare sector. Among attendants, orderlies, and nursing aides in a 2011 study, the incidence rate of injuries requiring days off work was 486 cases per 10,000 employees, over four times higher than the national average for all workers.
More musculoskeletal injuries are suffered by orderlies, attendants, nurses and nursing aides than workers in any other industry. Back injuries in the healthcare industry are estimated to cost over $7 billion every year.
Although healthcare workplaces are considered to have a higher risk of injury or illness than any other type of workplace, OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) offers a few inspections of healthcare facilities. The authors of the report additionally explained that when OSHA does find safety problems, there's often not much they can do as a result of the absence of much needed safety standards.
In 2010, there were 152,000 workplace injuries and illnesses in the manufacturing sector in comparison to a massive 653,000 in healthcare.
OSHA is attempting to better address the injury rates among nursing home workers with a National Emphasis Program (NEP), which will focus on addressing ergonomic stressors, falls, trips, slips, and workplace violence, as well as tuberculosis and blood borne pathogens. In conclusion, the report recommends for OSHA to considerably increase its number of inspections of healthcare facilities as well as pursue binding standards in order to ensure that workers are protected from the risks of developing musculoskeletal injuries and/or disorders and other types of threats that could greatly affect the overall wellbeing of healthcare workers.
Healthcare workers are constantly helping individuals with both their physical and emotional complications requiring medical attention. While patients are recovering from their injuries or illnesses, healthcare providers can occasionally experience issues at the workplace. In fact, injuries and illnesses among healthcare workplaces are relatively higher than those in other workplaces.

Most people living in the urban area of a country is bound to face the problems of having to breath bad air which is produced mostly by vehicles and factories if they are any nearby. Therefore, it has become a general necessity among people to use energy in a way where they can produce clean to air breath. This problem was addressed with the invention of cooling systems. Their main purpose is to produce air which is cool and keep your environment in a lower temperature in a controlled mechanism. You have full access to how the temperature should be in a room and many options which are made available with each system. They can be installed in households and in any building or place which you prefer to have a cooling system.
They have shown a lot of benefits when being used in server rooms of IT companies where the temperature of the room is generally high due the constant functioning machines inside.With the constant use of system that cools your environment the need to have refrigerator becomes relatively lower on the chart of priorities. Because when you leave food or drinks in such an environment they are naturally prone to become cooler to match with the room temperature. If you are running an office and is in a budgeted plan and is unable to buy a refrigerator, you can always make sure to have the environment clean and cool enough with the assistance from an evaporative cooling system to keep your food from going bad in the long hours of working.
The ability it has to produce cleaner air is much more beneficial as It will keep away all the germs and bacteria which otherwise would be circulating in your environment away from you.It is best to have these types of systems in use in places where the level of humidity is lower in comparison because air conditioning systems in general use existing hot air to be converted into cool temperature. Therefore, you have to pay extra careful attention to deciding the system because you have to make sure the system is capable of being fitted to the space available in care of your choice and that it comes packed with features which are of use to you. Otherwise the whole investment would go to a waste if you cannot reap the benefits of having spent money. And you have to make sure that it is capable of cooling the room space of your choice and be able to evenly spread it out.

Enjoy your food, but eat less.
Portions in America have gotten out of control.
What to do to combat the distortion?
Use a smaller plate.
Put the bag away! Portion out how many chips you're going to eat.
Eat at the table (not standing, or in front of the tv or computer…).
Take your time.
Make treats a once in a while occasion rather than an everyday thing.
Find out how much food you actually need by scheduling an appointment with the on-campus dietitian.

Christ Sees You
Christ sees you.
I hope that does not make you afraid or want to hide. My desire is that it inspires and invites you to draw close to Jesus.
I've been undone by this passage from the bible, the book of Matthew, 4:18, "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers...." [1]
Jesus saw you before you ever saw him.
Jesus knew you before you ever knew him.
Think about this for a moment. No, really...read the next sentence and then stop and think about it. Take 5 minutes, 10 minutes or the rest of the day, but think about it and then finish reading this blog.
Jesus sees you before you see him.
Are you done thinking about it? It's a staggering reality isn't it beloved?
John 6:44, "No one can come (commit one's self to the instruction of Jesus and enter into fellowship with him) to me (Jesus) unless the Father who sent me (for the purpose of revealing the Father and calling his children home) draws (by an inward power) him." [2]
C.H. Spurgeon once noted, speaking of John 6:44, [A person says with a sneer], "Then do you think that Christ drags men to Himself, seeing that they are unwilling?" I remember meeting once with a man who said to me, "Sir, you preach that Christ takes people by the hair of their heads and drags them to Himself." I asked him whether he could refer to the date of the sermon wherein I preached that extra-ordinary doctrine, for if he could, I should be very much obliged. However, he could not. But said I, while Christ does not drag people to Himself by the hair of their heads, I believe that He draws them by the heart quite as powerfully as your caricature would suggest." [3]
Yes, he draws us, because He sees us.
He sees us in our dreadful condition as "slaves to sin." [4]
He sees what we can become as children of God.
James 1:18, "And it was a happy day for Him when he gave us our new lives through the truth of His word, and we became, as it were, the first children in His new family." [5]
The Father sees you.
Jesus sees you.
Holy Spirit sees you.
Whatever your condition may be, he bids you come.
Come out of the shadows.
Come into the light.
He will heal.
He will encourage.
He will create.
He will form.
He will empower.
He will touch.
He will listen.
He will comfort.
He will do good because HE IS GOOD!

text: Hello All, I don't have the car yet but hope to very soon and one of the first trips will be from San Antonio to Grapevine (near Dallas) for the family to visit Great Wolf Lodge so please excuse my inexperience. I have talked to the resort and asked if they have on-site EV charging and they do not so I suppose I'll need to find somewhere nearby for destination charging. I've searched several sights (Supercharger.info, EV Trip Planner, PlugShare, ChargePoint, etc.) for ideas and I'm sure I can come up with a plan because I see several options, but just curious if anyone has visited Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine and has some helpful information on where one can charge? Or if it's even necessary based on the following information. Some things to know that help determine my range (battery, weather, weight, etc.) and which superchargers are open: This is planned for early January 2015. I will be in a P85D. There will be 3 of us in the car plus some luggage. I don't think we plan to drive around Grapevine much. Some options regarding charging if I stick to only superchargers: I doubt the Denton supercharger will be online and that's approximately 30 miles north (in the opposite direction) so I'm not sure that would be worth the time anyways. I will use the Waco supercharger on the way up, but it's approximately 111 miles from Grapevine, so round trip back to the supercharger would be at a minimum 222 miles if I don't drive around Grapevine. I suppose if I range charge in Waco on the way up, take it easy on the "go" pedal, and don't drive around Grapevine much, I *might* be able to make it back to the Waco supercharger without destination charging. But that is probably pushing it and not really a good idea. A little extra destination charge is probably smart, right? If you happen to have any suggestions for a rookie like me, I'm all ears. Although some might get frustrated with the extra homework required for an EV road trip, I actually find it fun - sort of like a puzzle or something. Thank you in advance. Regards, Ben

As a kindergarten teacher, we have the difficult task of creating a warm and loving environment where children feel comfortable and safe. This task on its own is daunting, but I've always found the most complex piece of this puzzle was finding ways to mesh together my kiddies who had never been to pre-school, daycare, or any other social setting before, with my other students who were used to socializing and classroom type environments (due to daycare, preschool, mommy and me classes, etc). Imagine how overwhelming this is to my little ones? A child who has spent majority of his or her day with mom is now thrown into a room with 20 something other children, who all want to touch his stuff, talk to him, play with him, etc AND there is an adult in the room that he is expected to listen to and it's not mommy....in fact, mommy is no where to be found!
There are a lot of ice breaker type activities that can be done, and yes I do them and enjoy them, but I do not feel that those have a long term impact on the classroom environment, or the individual. What I have found to be the most successful long-term strategy, is carving out time in the beginning of the year to educate students about emotions. Teaching children how to properly identify and deal with emotions is crucial. By providing kiddies with proper vocabulary, and an outlet to discuss emotions, we are helping them grow into level headed learners. The ultimate key to my success has been proving to my kids that I will always listen to them when they are feeling a certain way, and by providing them with the tools to be able to identify how they are feeling, express it properly, and brainstorm ways to solve it (if need be).
So how do I do this with a group of 4 and 5 year olds?
The first thing I do is read the book Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day by Jamie Lee Curtis. This book introduces the vocabulary for a variety of emotions and has wonderful illustrations.
|This blog post contains affiliate links. You can read my entire disclosure policy here.
We have a group discussion about how we are feeling and I let them know that we are going to start learning about a lot of new words that help describe different moods.
Next, I plan out which emotions I'd like to teach first. I generally start with the popular ones like happy and sad, and save the unfamiliar emotions for later on in the unit.
There are some really great books available if you'd like to start with a read aloud. I love using picture books as springboards for group discussions.
Some of my top recommendations are below. You can click the photos to purchase them straight from Amazon!

Some of my top recommendations are below. You can click the photos to purchase them straight from Amazon!
Whether you choose to use a read aloud or not, each lesson runs the same way, so I prep my materials ahead of time.
For each lesson I have ready:*The wall poster
*The flash card
*Anchor chart image already on chart paper
*Facial Identification worksheet printed
*Differentiated writing prompt printed
-I print the two worksheets double sided-
*Student bubble map printed (for my fast finishers)
I start my mini lessons by showing them the large image from either the wall poster or the anchor chart. I ask students to guess what emotion the child is feeling. From there we have a discussion about it. Some key questions are:
*What makes you think that?
*How do you know?
*When have you felt that way?
*Do you like feeling that way? Why?
*How can we make someone feel (insert emotion)?
*What should we do if someone feels (insert emotion)?
As we are talking, I add information to our bubble chart. The goal is to compile a list of words or events that answer the question "What makes you feel (insert emotion here)?"
The group discussions are THE most important part of the lesson. It is the time to teach socially appropriate ways to deal with emotions. For example, if we are talking about being sad and Brody shares that he feels sad when his friends don't share with him, I would ask my other students to brainstorm ways that Brody could solve that problem. I would also ask my students to brainstorm ways they could prevent that from happening again. These meaningful discussions are what we refer back to throughout the year.
After I feel like we have touched all of the important pieces of the emotion, I ask my students to complete an independent task. This allows me to informally assess each student.
They are to identify the emotion by looking at a variety of pictures. This demonstrates whether or not they can identify social cues.
Then I ask them to write about it. I have included differentiated writing paper to help meet the needs of your individual students but also to help you use this across the grades. One paper includes a traceable sentence starter which helps our beginning writers. The other paper is blank, allowing more advanced writers to do it on their own.
Any fast finishers can grab a copy of the bubble map and either copy our class chart OR complete it using ideas of their own.
I continue this pattern each time I teach emotions, until I have completed all of the emotions in my unit. The unit includes:*Happy
After we have discussed all of the emotions, I do some wrap up activities, such as, providing them with different scenarios and asking them to identify the emotions within each one. I also make sure to display the wall posters, and I keep them there all year long.
To conclude the unit, I do have an assessment that I give the kiddies. It touches on everything we discussed in class. This helps me see who may be in need of some small group work for social emotional lessons.
This unit is not only good for whole group in general education classes. This is a great tool for any child who may suffer from a social deficit. You can also integrate this into small intervention groups. Two of my co-workers start each small group with a mini social emotional piece. They lay out the smaller flash cards and ask each child "how are you feeling today?" This lets students not only vent and clear their mind before getting to the more challenging academic piece, but it helps them get rid of some anxieties, work on language pieces (answering questions in complete sentences), practice good listening skills (while the other members are sharing), and more. I've found this to be extremely successful and an excellent way to start small group. I also offer a FREE Feelings Chart in my TpT store, if you'd prefer to use a chart rather than flash cards.
Take a peek at the product image from TpT:
If you think this is something your class would benefit from, you can grab your copy HERE!!

Based on a chilling true story, Lionsgate's THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT charts one family's terrifying, real-life encounter with the dark forces of the supernatural. When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover.
Now unspeakable terror awaits, when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash a new kind of horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.

Have you ever heard the expression: Walk a mile in my shoes, and then judge me? And write your own books.
Try to open up your mind a little, and move away from rigid opinions of what people should do and be - unless you have been there.
Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.
I always say that bad women are fewer than men, but when you get one, they're fascinating because they're so rotten.
I want to warn potential victims. Many of them are women, and many of them are battered women. It's a cause for me. When I look back, though, so many of the books I've written are about wives who just couldn't get away.
I'm publicizing the book that's done. I'm writing the book that's in the hopper, and I'm doing a little advance research on the book to come.
Some writers hate to go to trials, but I love trials.
The why of murder always fascinates me so much more than the how.
I always want to give the victim a voice.
All of my books now come from readers' ideas.
For a while, people couldn't understand why I'd find them so fascinating, but I'd rather go to a trial than to a Broadway play. Now that we have Court TV, they see what I mean.

We've had a little shift in schedule the last two weeks, and two Tuesdays have kicked my tush. I don't really know what it is, because the amount of workout time isn't really that different.
Before, we would strength train, swim, and have either a short easy run or a bike ride. Now, we have Trainer Tuesday instead of the run or easy ride (there is easy riding in there along with drills in the middle). Granted, the trainer ride is longer than the easier previous rides had been. And I know I am working a little harder on the swim. And I did add a new core exercise to the strength training. And I have to separate the two workouts (strength training and swim together in the morning and trainer later in the day).
And…and…and…I guess all those little "ands" add up. I'm tired.
It was hard to make it through to soccer pickup at 9:30PM.

so, i may as well upload some pictures and drawing tidbits, which is really the whole point of this thing :) this weekend my lovely momma came to stay with me, so we decided to venture into town where we downed steaming lattes and a warm lemon-poppyseed muffin (which regrettably i did not take pictures of), and then shopped in the various adorable little stores in downtown phoenixville. we stopped for a mini-photoshoot by an incredibly cool mural:
it was a very successful day of shopping and chitchat; i came away with a new coat and some gorgeously nude lipstick, and mom picked up some makeup as well. such fun! a perfect weekend.
in other news, here's some recent drawings...hope you like!

Merry Christmas To All
A warm and wonderful Christmas to all at home, those abroad and all my lovely bloggers from all over the world.

It's also our 5th Anniversary... not much time to reflect but I'm definite there are lots of lovely memories to cherish.
So... here are just some of the photos I took of presents and there will be more later.
Have a beautiful celebration. (And Eirene...Can't wait to see your new hairdo!)
Lots of love....yoonie.

Of all the days Rick Santorum could come rolling into Washington state, this one is possibly the most awkward.
Today, Governor Chris Gregoire is expected to sign historic legislation to make Washington the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage, The Seattle Times' Jim Brunner reports. For the socially conservative Santorum, who has compared same-sex marriage to everything from bestiality to polygamy, it's a testy time to start shaking hands and kissing babies there.
But he'll try it, first at a meeting with "values voters" in Olympia and then at a rally at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma.
According to Brunner, Santorum has not built an organization comparable to those of Ron Paul or Mitt Romney in Washington. But it looks like he is trying to create a base of volunteer support there in advance of the state's March 3 non-binding caucus, which will likely set the stage for Super Tuesday.
As his visit coincides with the state's celebration of the legislative victory, it's going to be hard for Santorum to avoid questions about his defense of traditional marriage.
If the state's welcome is anything like it was in the pro-gay marriage New Hampshire, where Santorum faced boos and jeers from audiences hostile to his position, things might get prickly.

Oh, how I have craved a basket like this. So every so often I go onto eBay and drool over various baskets not unlike Emily's. Most are for sale from New England and would cost $120 (€95) or so delivered to my door. I was looking at these baskets just last night on a (sidetracked) trawl for Xmas presents.
Today, my favourite charity shop called to me even though I'm nursing an injured wrist and am not supposed to be either going out or typing. Off I went and, lo and behold, a lidded woven basket!
OK, it's not the same as Emily's (alleged) basket but it's as near as, for me. And it cost just €5! It has a little table inside that comes out, which I've discovered is a pie tray.
|Inside the basket, showing the vinyl lining and the Peterboro stamp
Their site is very comprehensive and charming and it says, 'For more than 150 years the Peterboro Basket Company has thrived in the heart of historic Peterborough, New Hampshire, in the serene shadow of Mt. Monadnock, surrounded by four seasons of the world's most exquisite natural beauty.' Sweet!
Whatever way my Peterboro basket ended up in East Galway, I am grateful that it did. And I love that my favourite charity shop has yielded up yet another item with meaning for, and synchronicity with, my writing. After a topsy-turvy week, it was just what I needed.
And what am I going to do with it? Well, I'm going to fill it with my Emily Dickinson research archive: printouts, postcards, letters from the ED Museum, playbills etc. And the box that that stuff currently occupies will be the receptacle for the paperwork for my WIP, novel #4.

Paynesville had 68 of a possible 104 students take the test last year. They recorded an average composite score of 22.5. The state average is 22.2. Nationwide, the average composite score held steady at 21.0
"I think we received an excellent report," John Janotta, high school principal, said. Last year the district's average composite score was 21.4.
"Our score put us near the top. Oregon tested only 12 percent of their students and had a composite score of 22.7. We tested 65 percent of our students and recorded 22.5. I consider that a good report," Janotta added.
Wisconsin is the only other midwest school to rank above Minnesota with an average composite score of 22.3.
"This was an all-time high for Minnesota," Phil Lewenstein, director of communications and legislative services for Minnesota Higher Education Ser-vices office, said.
"It's good news—our scores continue to go up each year," Judy Schaubach, president of the Minnesota Education Association, said.
The ACT assessment is designed for students who plan to attend college.
The ACT and SAT are the two most popular college-entrance tests. In Minnesota, many private and public colleges and universities use the ACT to help determine admissions and place-ment of students in classes.
The SAT is not used as much as the ACT in Minnesota. It is most often used as an admission requirement by colleges on the east and west coasts. But some Minnesota schools also accept the SAT as an admission test.
Janotta said Paynesville does only two or three SAT tests per year.
Paynesville's composite score in the last five years has ranged from 22.0 in the 1993-94 school year to 22.5. The district's highest score was 23.2 in the 1994-95 school year. Their lowest score was 21.4 recorded during the 1996-97 school year.

Every Christmas we end up with leftover Christmas pudding which is something I actually don't like as I find it too heavy and rich. Last year I turned the leftover pudding into a muffin/cupcake creation from Rachel Allen and they went down very well. This year though I wanted to see if I could incorporate it into Ice Cream. I decided to match the pudding with a cinnamon ice cream but to make it more festive I reduced the cinnamon and replaced it with fresh nutmeg. Thankfully it worked a treat, the cinnamon ice cream alone would have been just fine on its own, so feel free to omit it if you prefer, but I found the combination a really great alternative festive dessert and would be a welcome change to the normal tradition of Christmas pudding. Im guessing this would also be great with mincemeat if you have jars of that left as well.
Christmas Pudding and Cinnamon Ice Cream
Adapted from a David Lebovitz recipe in "The Perfect Scoop"
1 Cup (250ml) Whole Milk
¾ Cup (150g) Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Seven 3-inch Cinnamon Sticks, broken up
About 1/3 of a Nutmeg Seed, freshly grated or to taste
2 Cups (500ml) Heavy Cream
5 Large Egg Yolks
2 Tblsp Vodka (or rum, brandy or really any liquor that you think might work)
150g Christmas Pudding (or whatever you have left)
1. Warm the milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and 1 cup (250ml) of the cream in a medium saucepan. Once the mixture is warmed through remove from the heat, cover and let steep for an hour.
2. Put the saucepan back on the heat to rewarm. Using a slotted spoon remove the cinnamon and discard. Pour the remaining cream into a bowl and place a mesh strainer on top.
3. In a separate medium bowl whisk the egg yolks together. Slowly ladle some of the warmed mixture into the egg yolks, whisking this constantly to prevent cooking the yolks. Once you have added about a third of the warmed mixture you can just pour the rest in, in a slow stream whilst still whisking the custard.
4. Scrape the custard mixture back into the saucepan. Stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula cook the mixture, scraping the bottom of the pan as you do so, until it thickens and coats the back of the spatula. If the temperature is too high you can see little cooked bits, so I suggest using a medium-low temp for this (and don't worry you can strain the lumps out later).
5. Pour the custard through the strainer into the cream and mix together. Place this bowl over an ice bath and stir until the custard base has cooled. Stir the vodka into the cooled custard and then refrigerate the mixture thoroughly and then freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturers instructions.
6. Once the ice cream is churned stir in the chopped up Christmas pudding and place in the freezer and leave to firm up.

CodeLens for Community Edition
CodeLens is very helpful and cool feature! Once you try it, then you can't use simple "find references". I think community will be grateful for it. Make CodeLens available for VS2015 Community!
Thank you for your feedback on this idea.
We're glad you find Code Lens a useful feature, however at present we have no plans to bring it to the Community Edition of Visual Studio; it will remain one of the benefits of the Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Enterprise editions.
As such, we're declining this suggestion at present.

Tired of comments by those who think EVERYTHING they want should be free, and it it isn't, then Microsoft sucks. Seriously people, get real and stop whining like little children.
Thanks Microsoft, the only thing what we use .net is because its IDE.
Don't push us!
Jeremy commented
I really used to like coding as a hobby creating applications for daily tasks. The loss of the references (Code Lens) which I had in VSC2015 makes this a lot more painful. Unfortunately as someone who does this as a hobby, I don't have the resources to purchase Pro. I wish I had never upgraded my machine to VSC2017 now.
I hate you for doing this and now i am parting my way for flutter with vs code.
Seriously put that in Code and not VS2017 Community? Very expensive from Microsoft! Well, very well ... The VS2017 is used to basically develop for windows platform. So, if we change platform what will this piece of the software market be? $$ more $ Micro$oft

dogfood commented
Thanks for declining this. Good for me to keep my VS2015 version.
Vasiljevic Damir commented
I wonder why you declined this when this is available in Visual Studio Code which is also free tool. So what is so different with Visual Studio Community?
Alex commented
Hopefully the visual studio team will one day integrate the codelens tool into the visual studio community, many developers would greatly appreciate it.
Stéphane Gagnon commented
My solution was the Visual Commander Extension.
After installing the extension, create a new command in C# and add a call to the DTE interface.
Add a button in a new toolbar or existing toolbar, add a Command, Select VCmd in the categories and select your command.
using EnvDTE;
using EnvDTE80;
public class C : VisualCommanderExt.ICommand
public void Run(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package)
Michael commented
Microsoft should add tools like CodeLens to Community edition to help enterprises smaller than 6 developers and $1M to BECOME enterprises larger than 5 developers and $1M so they can afford to pay for Pro edition in the first place. Microsoft has set the rules for switching from Community to Pro at these limits, so what exactly is the rationale for crippling Community Edition relative to Pro?
Gary commented
So much for Community being the equivalent of Professional for individual developers.
But they'll put it in Visual Studio Code... idiots.
Very disappointing outcome
Recep Yeşil commented
It's a useful feature. Must be considered.
Michael Lev commented
Please make codelens available for VS 2017 Community.
Please consider -
The Strength and Profit of a company are usually greater if it supply its tools free, since more millions of people use it then. See for example Google...
I'd appreciate a feedback.
THiago commented
Please! Codelens on Community!!!
Umut Esen commented
Please make codelens available for VS 2017 and VS for Mac! Either free or as a paid extension.
Please, can you release Code Lens patch for visual studio community!!!
Alexandre commented
It is available on vs code, it is a basic feature, it should be available on vs community as well. It is not as if it was a complex feature which should be reserved to companies.
Qode commented
Having it in VS Code and not in VS Community is nonsensical. Please rock the community by making this feature available at Build.
Developers! Developers! Developers!

Thanks to a good few friends of mine. I finally got my Saber Zero figma. I was very pleased with her and happy I got her into my collection. I ordered her and Irisviel but sadly Irisviel is going to be held captive until August along with my BRS nendo X_X;;. I guess in this story Dead Master kind of represents me. Especially since I have been sick lately and haven't been feeling well. I guess this is how the story came to mind. Ahem, without further ado. Here was poor Saber's first day with us X'D!
Saber: Irisviel! -looks and wanders around- We must have got separated. . .
Saber: ? ? ?
Saber: Who . . . ?
Saber: She doesn't look too well . . . I better take her so Irisviel can take a look at her.
Saber: ?!?!!
Black Rock Shooter: . . . . don't. .
Saber: I can have some one who can help her. So if you don't mind-
Black Rock Shooter: No . . .
Saber: If this is what you want then so be it.
Saber: !!!
Black Rock Shooter: Ngh!
Black Rock Shooter: !!!
Yomi: Who..?
Dead Master: Don't shoot.
Dead Master: What is going on here?
Dead Master: Hmmm?
Dead Master: Ahhh…so your the one who woke me up.
Saber: . . . .
Black Rock Shooter: -Glares- . . . . . !
Dead Master: That wasn't very nice you know.
Dead Master: Hmph. I guess I can be merciful this once ^_^. Welcome to the family…..???
Saber: Saber.
Dead Master: Saber. I hope you like it here.
Dead Master: Geeze though, you could have came quieter at least 😛
Mato: Hey you cool?
Yomi: Are you all right Rock-chan?
Black Rock Shooter: . . . .
Canaan: You all right?
Black Rock Shooter: . . . .
Canaan: ???
Dead Master: Here. Are you okay? I hope Rock-chan wasn't too mean to you. She can be a bit rough some times.
Saber: Y-Yeah
Dead Master: I hope we can become good friends.
Saber: Likewise.
Black Rock Shooter: -clench- Now your gonna know what it's like…not being chosen.
Canaan: Hm?
Dead Master: I hope it feels like home here. If you need anything just come and ask me. I do not mind at all ^ _ ^!
Saber: Heh. Thanks. I believe I will.
Saber: Actually, I was wondering if you have seen a woman with long white hair…
Dead Master: White hair? Hmmm only Canaan… -conversation fades to light mummbles-
Canaan: Seems like my lady found a new friend ^_^
Mato: Yeah, surprisingly.
Yomi: I think Saber will fit in just fine with us ^_^
Black Rock Shooter: . . . . -glaring-
Miku: ….negi :3 -nod nod-
Dead Master: Oh enough of this Iri person! You are looking quite delicious my dear ~ ~ ~ ❤
Skulls: -Jaws Drop-
Yomi: Or….not…
Mato: -Taken back- I should have expected that o_0
Canaan: I think Saber will learn soon enough of what my lady is like >_>;;
Black Rock shooter: -FLARES- 0_e
Miku: o.o;; This can't be good..
Sorry for some dark and blurry photos. Natural lighting sucked and it has been cloudy and raining for the past few days. Hope you guys enjoyed this X'D. I know I am definitely going to be having some fun with my Saber figma! 😉 -wink wink- Some of you might be thinking, dude, why didn't you let her transform into her armor version? Why? Because I do not own so said Saber armor version T_T but I will some day for sure! So look forward to it! 😀
I am starting to feel bad for my Black Rock Shooter because lately these new figmas Dead Master has been toying or falling in love with and she is getting quite a bit jealous as you guys can plainly see X'D. I think it's adorable! ^_^ Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed this! 😀 Thank you~

This week has been a little hectic so no progress has been made on getting the treadmill to its new home in the basement. So therefore there is no new weight loss to be shared.
Nick, Grandpa Jim, Marlee, and I did go on a nice walk down in Magnolia yesterday which did have me breaking a bit of a sweat. Then I came home and ate 9 bratwurst for dinner. They were delicious, I was starving, and I would do it again! Once again, food is going to be my enemy number one.
Now back to playing with Marlee since I have to work tonight.
