The Schrödinger's Cat (Cattus cattum) is one of the cutest monsters.
The Schrödinger's Cat is a cat that is both dead and alive, and now is looking for revenge, attacking heroes.
It's very difficult to find a Schrödinger's Cat, as once a hero has encountered one it often becomes either a dead cat or an alive one. To ensure that the cat is still both dead and alive the box must remain on them at all times during the battle, which explains many occasions where a hero finds himself fighting against a cardboard box.
- The fact that it's alive and dead at the same time could confuse the hero
- The cat could survive fatal blows
- Is hard to hit through the cardboard box

Duterte accuses PCIJ of being paid to discredit him, his family
MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte has accused the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) of being paid to discredit him and his family.
This, after the media agency reported the spike in the income of the President and his children while they were in public office.
Duterte made this remark as he reiterated his threat to disclose the funding sources of PCIJ.
READ: Duterte threatens to disclose PCIJ's 'money' links
"Eh itong mga taga-Maynila, mga writer akala mo si… Being so sarcastic. Ang babaho ninyo. Bunganga ninyo pati lahat na. Ang babaho talaga ninyo. 'Yang Philippine Investigative, ilabas ko. May ilabas ako. Maybe this week," Duterte said in his speech during the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) campaign rally in Batangas City on Wednesday night.
"Puro bayad 'yan. Anak ng p*** puro pera-pera 'yan sila. Maniwala kayo. I'll show you how," he added.
He then told the public to stop believing in investigative journalists.
"Ito hindi ito ibinigay sa akin ng intelligence ng Pilipinas. Ibang… Pero makita mo 'yang mga investigative journalism walang — huwag kayong maniwala niyan. Pera-pera 'yan pati 'yang mga writers na… Ipakita ko sa inyo. I'll have it published," he said.
Duterte earlier slammed PCIJ, saying what he earned outside of politics was nobody's business.
PCIJ had recently released a three-part report on the increases in the income of the President and members of his family, including questions about the presidential family's law firm as well as their failure to disclose some business interests in their respective Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs).
PCIJ Executive Director Malou Mangahas had earlier responded to Duterte's criticisms of the media agency, saying the President "did not have to lose his cool" but instead "offer clear, direct, straightforward replies to our queries."

Lane, Ashley Alexander (2018) A critique of a priori moral knowledge. Doctoral thesis, Birkbeck, University of London.
Final version.pdf - Full Version
Download (765kB) | Preview
Many ethicists believe that if it is possible to know a true moral proposition, it is always possible to ascertain a priori the normative content of that proposition. I argue that this is wrong; the only way to ascertain the normative content of some moral propositions requires the use of a posteriori information. I examine what I call determinate core moral propositions. I assume that some of these propositions are true and that actual agents are able to know them. Ethicists whom I call coreapriorists believe that it is always possible to ascertain a priori the normative content of such propositions. Core-aposteriorists believe that this is false, and that sometimes a posteriori information must be used to ascertain that normative content. I develop what I call the a posteriori strategy to show that core-apriorists are likely to be wrong, and so core-aposteriorists are correct. The strategy examines the details of particular core-apriorist theories and then shows that the theories have one of two problems: either some of the knowable determinate core moral propositions in the theories are not knowable a priori, or some of the propositions are not determinate, so they cannot perform the epistemological work required of them. Therefore, some knowable determinate core moral propositions are only knowable with the aid of a posteriori information. I apply the strategy to four different core-apriorist theories. The first is Henry Sidgwick's theory of self-evident moral axioms, as recently developed by Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer. The second is Matthew Kramer's moral realism. I then examine Michael Smith's moral realism, and Frank Jackson and Philip Pettit's moral functionalism. The a posteriori strategy shows that there are serious difficulties with all four theories. I conclude that it provides good evidence that the core-apriorist is mistaken, and that the core-aposteriorist is right.

Research selling prices of items similar to yours. Look up completed sales or current listings of items similar to yours. Find the high- and low-end prices, and price your object around the median price level. If you want your item to sell quickly, price it at the low end. The condition of the item also affects the price. Items in poorer condition should be priced at the lower end. Also, consider how many listings there already are of items similar to yours. If many similar items will be competing with yours, you may have to set the price lower to get the sale.[28]
A wide range of businesses need workers to enter various data into their systems, whether that data are used to track inventory or shipments, create business plans, or measure performance or output. And since a computer and typing skills are the most important requirements for this job, many data entry workers are able to work at home, and on a schedule that fits their lives.
Coding – whether for developing apps or designing websites – is another big business online! It's a pretty egalitarian business as well, since you can teach yourself to code in many languages and you can code from wherever you are. At its most basic, all you need is a computer (or laptop or tablet), an Internet connection for connecting with project files or far-flung colleagues, and a text editor. (The software involved can get more complicated than that, as you go along.) There are more small businesses wanting customized websites and startups trying to create that next great app every day, and coders can make a living along the way.
In this day and age, managing one's personal finances in a secure manner that allows the user to have a real-time visual representation of their money is easier than ever before. With the numerous applications that are out there — both free and subscription-based — there's no reason that every person can't take control of their money and ensure they're making smart money moves.
Many affiliate programs will often run promotions with good discounts or giveaways that might be attractive to your audience. For example, if you're an Amazon Associate and the site have a big Holiday Sale, it would be the perfect opportunity for you to promote discounts to your website visitors. This is a great way to promote your offers while also providing good value to your audience.
Education occurs most often in "real life" by becoming involved and learning the details as time progresses. Although there are several books on the topic, some so-called "how-to" or "silver bullet" books instruct readers to manipulate holes in the Google algorithm, which can quickly become out of date,[41] or suggest strategies no longer endorsed or permitted by advertisers.[42]
Aside from the obvious advantages of running your own business, being able to work online from anywhere at any time, and having the freedom to choose just how hard you work, there are a few other perks. Affiliates with a strong social following (also known as influencers) can expect to receive freebies from advertisers looking to boost their brand awareness.
If you're serious about making money online, start a blog. Blogging is one of the easiest and most sustainable income sources. As long as the blog is setup the right way, in the right niche, with the right content targeted at the right audience, and the offer is complementary to the content, you could make a tremendous amount of passive income from a blog.
Very true great article wanted to ask you if I could reach out to you through email about a great way to save money and make money off bills you already pay I am trying to network and help people out and reach out to people who are like minded so I don't waste any time for anyone look forward to hearing from you.

How She Travels
Art by Leslie Graff, lesliegraff.com
Last year, my family and I traveled to my hometown, Bishop, CA, for a family reunion. It was glorious! I hadn't been there for over 10 years, because my family doesn't live there anymore. When we drove into that valley, and I saw my mountains again, I just bawled. I was overjoyed to be there, and it was even better to be able to share it with my kids. We had an amazing time—hiking, a barbeque at a dear friend's ranch, lots of cousin time, reunions with old friends. We checked all the boxes and then some.
But it was also a terrible trip. We woke up at the crack of dawn and drove an hour to the airport. My son lost his flip phone on the airport parking shuttle, we found it but that meant seven Archibalds running through the airport as our names were called over the loudspeaker. After our walk of shame onto the full airplane, we had to beg a few kind strangers to change seats so our three- and five-year-olds didn't have to sit by themselves. If any of the passengers on that plane knew I would be writing about travel tips, I would have been booed off the plane.
Then came a two-hour ordeal at the rental car place when they didn't have a big enough vehicle for our family, despite our prepaid reservation. All this with a six-hour drive ahead of us, to get to Bishop.
This trip sums up travel with kids perfectly—amazing and terrible all at once. Which, when you think about it, sums up parenthood in general, too.
Traveling when you have kids takes patience, planning, and creativity—even if you're leaving them home—but it can be done! And, usually, it's worth all the pain. When I started researching this topic, I was amazed at how many families make travel a central part of their lives. (I include a list of some of the family travel blogs I discovered at the end of this post.)
Strategic Travel Planning
Recently, my husband and I realized that we only have five or six more summers before our oldest child (age 13) leaves home. Since my husband usually takes just one week off for vacation each year, we have to think strategically about where we want to spend those six vacations we have left with our kids, and what experiences we want to have with them.
Not only that, but researching this topic has opened up a world of travel possibilities to me, beyond the traditional family vacation. It had never really occurred to me to plan trips with individual kids, or to swap babysitting to go on vacation as a couple. Here are some of the ways families think outside the box with travel strategy:
Travel Swaps. My husband and I have enlisted our parents to watch our kids a few times while we travel without them, but it's a lot to ask and can be hard to coordinate. And some families don't have that option for one reason or another. Laura, Karalyn, and Kelly get around this by taking turns and watching each other's kids. Each couple has three kids. When it's their turn to travel, the two other families take turns watching their kids and they go somewhere fun, from weekend trips to bigger trips like Portugal, Mexico, and a European tour!
The key to this strategy is to find families of a similar size. Last year my family of seven recently teamed up with two families of eight to do our own swap. When our friends traveled, we ended up with three and four extra children at our house for two long weekends. It was crazy, loud, fun, and a lot of work, but it was a great investment: my husband and I got to spend a weekend riding a bike race together in the mountains and staying for the weekend.
Staycations. Travel doesn't have to be far-flung or expensive. When we were first married, we met a fabulous family who were experts in "home tourism." They compiled bucket lists of local attractions and day trips and spent most weekends checking items off those lists. They knew all the best hiking and camping spots nearby, and the all best ice cream shops, parks, and museums.
To get started on your own local bucket list, pretend you're visiting from out of town and browse tourism websites for your city, county, and state; check out books from the library; and make a list of state and national parks in your area.
A few years ago, Christina and her family made a goal to plan a local getaway one week each month. Check out her blog post, "8 Tips for Finding Adventure in Your Own Backyard," for more great ideas.
Trips with Individual Kids. Nichole and Jared take each of their kids on two solo trips: a U.S. history tour when they're 10 (i.e. Boston, New York, or Washington D. C.), and an adventure trip (i.e. scuba diving in Florida, river rafting in Costa Rica, cliff-jumping in Belize). To read more about their family adventures, check out "How Nichole Builds Relationships."
Megan and Jason do solo trips a little differently. Each kid gets a solo trip with the opposite gender parent at 12 and then the same-gender parent at 18.
Several of my friends also do individual trips with their kids when they graduate from high school, often giving the kid a budget and letting him or her do all the planning.
Kids-Only Trips. When Ruth lived in Florida, her oldest son traveled to see his grandparents in Arizona each year by himself. It was a great way for them to spend time together without the chaos of a whole-family visit—plus, it was much cheaper!
Taking a cue from Ruth, when our oldest son was 10, and he saved up money to buy yet another giant LEGO set, we convinced him to use that money to pay the unaccompanied minor fee for a plane ticket to visit his cousins instead (we used airline points to pay for the flight itself).
Mixing Business and Pleasure. Kristin's current strategy is to plan travel around her husband's business trips, since his airfare and their hotel is covered. This works especially well for their current stage of life, because her kids are young enough that they're not in school yet. They research each city they visit ahead of time and try to do a mix of touristy and local activities. You can read more about her strategy at How Kristin Travels.
Big Adventures. Researching for this article has left me amazed at the grand adventures some families undertake. The Smith family has traveled to over 40 countries as a family. They write about it and share lots of travel tips, including family travel guides for destinations from their home in Salt Lake City to Australia at ourfamilypassport.com. You can also listen to a fun podcast with their tips and stories at Family Looking Up.
We have several friends who have taken a year or two off from their regular lives to travel with their families, many of those for humanitarian service abroad. And there is a whole subculture of families who have sold their homes and live in an RV, traveling and road-schooling full time.
Josie, a friend of mine from high school, and her her husband and three kids are on year three of one of the biggest family adventures of all—a 10-year sailing trip around the world. To read a profile of Josie's adventurous life, click here.
Saving For a Trip
Family vacations can get pricey, but you don't have to win the lottery to make it work. In addition to traveling close to home, one way to afford family travel is to make it a priority and sacrifice elsewhere.
One of Nichole's famous quotes among her family members is: "Do you want to go to Disneyland or do you want to leave that light on?" She and her family went an entire (very hot) summer with no air conditioning while they were saving for a trip to dive with sharks in the Bahamas. Nichole is also an expert at finding travel deals and discounts online—her family paid $3,000 for that trip to the Bahamas, when it would have cost $21,000 at full price.
The Smith family (of ourfamilypassport.com) keeps a separate savings account for travel and puts something in every month. They also save by cutting their spending on things like eating out, cable, and gym memberships. Find more in their article, "10 Simple Ways to Save Money for Travel."
Each year, the Nackos family gives plane tickets as their main Christmas gifts, so the money they would have spent on toys or gadgets go toward meaningful family experiences. The Smiths took this idea a step further, and one year they decided not to give gifts at all—not birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day—no presents. All the money they would have spent went to their travel fund.
Jessica Dabelich, who blogs at flyingwithfour.com, suggests cruises and all-inclusive resorts as some of the most budget-friendly ways to travel—plus, there's always camping!
Then of course there are those people like my brother, who put in the time and figure out all the credit card deals and airline and hotel rewards programs. One of the best places to go to find these deals is thepointsguy.com.
Preparing Your Kids
As difficult as the actual travel part is with kids—especially young kids—a little planning goes a long way. When Juliana travels with her five kids, she prepares them for the flight ahead of time by talking through the process at the airport: checking in, going through security, riding a train, boarding the plane, etc. Even for small kids, knowing what's going to happen seems to help them understand what's going on around them and prevents meltdowns.
While at the airport, she talks about what's happening and gives them additional details about what to do. She tries to be calm and not stressed, so they'll pick up on that and follow suit. She also tries to be really aware of how each kid is feeling. If kids are feeling scared, hungry, tired or sick, she gives those feelings credibility and tries to meet their needs. A little empathy goes a long way.
This is such a great idea, because many moms think to prepare kids for the flight itself, but not for the airport, which can actually be the hardest part. Sarah Powers, co-host of the podcast The Mom Hour, had the great idea to make the whole process almost like a scavenger hunt, offering a jelly bean or other small reward after they make it through each new step.
Kam prepares her young son to travel by reading books about the destination, listening to local music, teaching him a few key words in the local language, and printing coloring pages of famous landmarks and areas. She creates a fun countdown starting about two weeks before departure.
When traveling internationally last year, Candice prepared her twin two-year-olds for the time change physically. Ten days before they flew to Italy, she started adjusting their sleep schedules, with the goal of getting the time change down to four hours. She created a schedule to adjust their their nap, bedtime, and wakeup schedule by 30 minutes every two days. Read her article about this at csginger.com.
Packing Up
Packing and unpacking are the green-eyed monsters of travel. But there's no real way around it. Here are a few ways to make the monumental task of packing a bit easier:
Create a standard packing list. Jennica realized that there really isn't much variation in what she packs from trip to trip, so she created a standard packing checklist which she prints for each trip. Jessica did the same, but she laminated hers, so they can check things off with a dry-erase marker and then reuse them. (Jennica and Jessica discuss their great packing hacks on Jessica's podcast Extraordinary Moms.)
I have a packing list saved on my computer which I can adjust to each trip we take. I print a copy for each of my kids, hand it to them, and they pack themselves. I pack my three-year-old, but the rest do a pretty good job. Before one trip, we had a really crazy week with lots of unexpected mini-crises. Plus, my husband and I had a concert the night before our trip and we knew we wouldn't be back until almost midnight. We left for the concert with nothing packed for anyone, and handed the packing list to our 13-year-old with a promise of extra babysitting cash if he'd pack himself and his siblings. When we got home, we packed ourselves, but we didn't even have time for a cursory inspection of the kids' luggage. We knew the worst-case scenario was a trip to Walmart at our destination. It turned out that they all did a great job packing and only forgot a few things. Now I totally just leave the packing to the kids.
Make a last-minute packing list. I'm always scrambling after the car is loaded up to grab my phone, my purse, phone chargers, toothbrushes, pillows—all those things you need up until the last minute. Jessica has a standard, laminated list for this too! I'm hoping this tip will get rid of that uneasy feeling I always have for the first part of any trip—"What am I forgetting?"
Pack right out of the dryer. Marjean used to pack her kids up as she did laundry the week before a trip. She lined up the duffle bags in her laundry room and just filled them up straight out of the dryer. It saved the step of putting the clothes away first. The kids were in charge of packing their own backpacks with anything they wanted on the trip besides clothes. Carrine, at Some Semblance of Order does all her laundry the day before a trip and packs up as she pulls clothes from the dryer as well. You can find her road-trip packing list here.
Set up a packing station. Jessica Dabelich of flyingwithfour.com sets up a packing station in her bedroom when they're packing for a trip. She chooses her bedroom because it has a lot of floor space and it's a room the kids won't come in and out of to mess everything up. This allows her to take her time when she's packing. She lines up suitcases for her four kids in a row, and then lays out everything that will go in them so she can see everything at once and fill in any gaps. She can also see if she's packing too much.
Pack by day or activity, not by person. This idea rocked my world. I stumbled upon Saren Loosli's article about this at Power of Moms just in time for a multi-stop road trip. Instead of packing bags for each person, I packed a bag for each stop on our trip, so we only had to bring one bag (plus a communal toiletry bag) into each hotel. We had all the supplies we needed for the specific activities we were going to do at that stop. Saren also packs one bag with church clothes for the whole family, and one bag with sweatshirts or jackets, so they don't have to rifle through bags to find them.
Keep outfits together. Adrianne packs her kids' outfits in ziplock bags, so they can grab and go each day. Jennica uses packing cubes for the same purpose.
Rent equipment there. What? I had no idea this existed, but there are companies all over the world who will meet you at the airport with baby gear that you can rent during your vacation. So you don't have to lug all that baby paraphernalia around with you! Meredith rented a high chair, portable crib, and car seat from a company called Toddgo when she traveled to Germany. For a list of equipment rental companies go to travelmamas.com.
Pack light. Saren's rule of thumb for packing clothes is 2-3 pairs of pants and 3-4 shirts per person. She intentionally chooses clothes that don't show dirt. And remember, unless you're traveling somewhere really remote, you can usually find laundry facilities in a pinch. For you, Reachel Bagley of Cardigan Empire has a great system of packing a travel capsule wardrobe so you can fit everything you need for a trip in a carryon (and still look great).
Keep your toiletries packed. Jennica keeps a permanent travel toiletry bag with everything from toothbrushes to hair products. She restocks it as they use items up so it's always ready to grab and go. She has a separate medicine bag as well
Pack a multipurpose kit. Wherever she is, every day, Jennica brings her all-purpose kit, a bag called In-a-Pikle. It's a little bag with zippered pouched inside. She uses it to keep hair elastics, ibuprofen, allergy medicine, hand-sanitizer, sunscreen, post-it notes, lip gloss & mascara, scissors, tweezers, floss, a mirror, little screwdrivers, and other handy things. (I just bought one for myself.)
Bring Ziplocs/garbage bags. The What Fresh Hell podcast also has an episode dedicated to packing for a trip, episode 20, Vacationing With Kids—What to Pack. Spoiler alert—bring lots of Ziploc bags. These airtight bags are essential for traveling with infants, between blowouts and spitup, but they can be handy for kids of any age, both on the road and in the air. You never know when you'll need to contain something wet, smelly, or dirty.
On the Airplane
Kristin used to spend a lot of time prepping for and stressing about airplane travel with babies. But after a few terrible flights with a crying baby, she realized that it's only a few hours—at longest a day—of her life, and that she and the other passengers would get over it. She still prepares with activities and snacks for her two young children, and is as courteous as possible to other travelers, but sometimes no amount of preparation can prevent a meltdown.
That said, there are some things you can do to make airplane flights more pleasant for you and your kids. Juliana makes sure her iPads are charged and that movies are fully downloaded. She tests the headphones, and even had her 20-month-old practice using headphones before the trip. Each child (except the baby) is responsible for packing his/her own backpack with snacks and activities for the flight. This teaches them responsibility, plus they can't complain to her if they don't have what they want on the flight.
And sometimes you just need a helper. Since she gets airsick, Juliana knew that she couldn't fly all by herself with her five kids when her husband couldn't come, so she bought a ticket for her sister to accompany her.
Candice always gate-checks her stroller rather than checking it, so she doesn't have to carry her kids through the airports. She brings finger foods like cheese sticks, pistachios, grapes, fruit snacks, granola bars, crackers, jerky, small suckers, smarties, m&ms, dove chocolates (or other treats you can meter a little at a time), and gum for their ears. She advises that you save the best entertainment for last, like treats, iPad, etc. For more of her survival tips for international flights with kids, go to csginger.com.
Margaret Ables, cohost of the fabulous parenting podcast What Fresh Hell, coined the term "skyrules" for her philosophy that parents are allowed to throw all the rules out the window on flights with kids, as long as they're quiet and happy. So sugar, screens, nothing is off limits.
Kam always stocks up on dollar-store toys so her son has new toys to play with. She also usually brings a small Lego set. For herself, she brings a scarf that can double as a blanket and a travel pillow (see below). For her son, she brings an inflatable foot rest (see below). For more ideas of her flying tips, go to ourfamilypassport.com.
In the Car
Oh, the family road trip. Like many of you, my childhood memories involve imaginary lines that siblings couldn't cross and rolling around in the back without seatbelts. My dad used to record the sound of movies like Ghostbusters on cassette tapes and we'd listen to those and Disney read-along books. And there was singing. Lots of singing.
iPads and DVD players (and seatbelt laws) have brought us a long way from those rustic road trips, but it's still a struggle to keep kids entertained and, most importantly, not fighting or whining.
Fortunately, I stumbled upon several road-trip geniuses while researching for this article. (Really, all you need to know about road trips, you can find at Saren Loosli's article, "Tried and True Road Trip Tips.") Here are some of their fabulous ideas:
Before Sidney's grandkids go on a road trip, she buys snacks and toys from the dollar store and wraps them up—one for each hour of the trip. It can be as simple as three Starburst, a bag of pretzels, or a small puzzle. Sometimes she even wraps up a story book, including a recording of herself reading it for the kids to enjoy during the trip. Each hour, the kids open one present. The anticipation and element of surprise entertains them the whole way. Similarly, Jamie lets her kids eat one Jolly Rancher an hour. They last a while and it helps the kids count down the time.
Elise has her kids do something active, even just running around in the front yard, before they get in the car for such a long drive. And Saren organizes active games at rest stops for the same purpose, throughout the trip. Gotta get those wiggles out!
You can only watch so many movies, so there's always the good, old-fashioned car game. You can go with the classics—I Spy, We're Going On a Picnic, or the Alphabet Game—but here are a few more:
Fortunately, Unfortunately (Take turns going back and forth between the two, to make a story: "Fortunately, we're heading to Yellowstone." "Unfortunately, the bears have taken over the park." "Fortunately, they're only charging one jar of honey for admission." ...)
Two Truths and a Lie
The License Plat Game (Make this more fun by giving each child a printed map of the U.S., so they can color in the states for any license plates they see.)
Would You Rather
Conversation Starters (You can buy sets of cards with interesting questions, or just come up with your own.)
The Initial Game (20 questions, but with people. You start by giving the initials of a real or fictional person.)
Singing games like Encore. (Split into two teams, someone comes up with a topic or word, and you trade off thinking of songs with that word in it until you run out of ideas.)
Cows on my side (You get points for spotting cows first, and keep track.)
More fun car games here.
Elise buys window clings for the kids to play with on the road. And Brittney brings cookie sheets and magnets for the kids to play with (be careful, some cookie sheets are not magnetic). Several moms mentioned Water Wow activity books.
For those floppy heads trying to get some sleep, bring neck pillows. Saren even found neck pillows for babies! (See link below)
Brittney packs snacks like dried fruit, veggies, and crackers in individual snack bags, so they're easy to pass around, and cleaner than eating right out of the bag. She picks things they don't usually keep around the house, so they're a novelty. Instead of putting ice in her cooler, she freezes water bottles so they double as a backup water supply. (No one drinks anything but water, because of the inevitable spills.)
For quick weekend trips, Jennica packs in laundry baskets rather than suitcases. Then she has a laundry hamper and a portable mudroom to store shoes or jackets, and they're so easy to pack up.
While You're There
It's hard to give advice for once you get to your destination, since it's always so specific to the location, but there are so many bloggers out there with tips for traveling to specific destinations with families. I'll list some great resources at the end of this article. But I did come across some great ideas that would work anywhere.
Kam and Shani from Our Family Passport recommend scheduling one relaxing day for every two scheduled day on a family trip, so the kids can catch up on sleep and just do their own thing. They also suggest you take advantage of the hotel laundry service so you don't have to overpack.
Jamie stumbled upon a great travel idea when her son wanted to buy a soccer ball in Italy. She gave in, even though it seemed like a bulky thing to have on her trip. It turned out to be so much fun for the whole family to kick it along as they were walking all over Europe. They just bought a little travel pump with it so they could deflate and inflate it for travel.
Carrine dresses her younger kids in matching brightly colored shirts when they go to crowded places like amusement parks. (Her older ones aren't too excited about that, so they wear what they want.) She likes to keep those shirts in her bag so they don't end up being worn on the wrong day.
Most importantly, when you travel with kids, you have to have realistic expectations. Everyone will have a different idea of what a successful trip looks like. Make sure to plan activities for all the varying tastes and ability levels of the people you're traveling with. Your kids may enjoy and remember splashing in the fountain at the park just as much or more than touring that beautiful cathedral.

From Morale, Welfare and Recreation Kings Bay
For those who have enjoyed a game of bowling at Rack-N-Roll Lanes, worked out at the fitness center, or relaxed for a weekend at Eagle Hammock RV Park, they've taken advantage of the Kings Bay Morale, Welfare and Recreation's (MWR) facilities.
What they may not have considered is behind the scenes at MWR, for the past two decades, a great person was quietly working to create those wonderful programs, renovate facilities, and procure exciting opportunities for Kings Bay service members and their families.
This man is Richard Massingill.
After years of faithful government service, he will be enjoying a well-earned retirement. Massingill retired from his long-held position with Kings Bay's MWR team April 30. For the past 10 of his 18 years with MWR, Massingill served as the business activities department head, and has been instrumental in steering MWR's success through facility renovations, construction projects, and program initiatives.
Massingill's dedication to government service began in 1966 when he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 1989, he arrived at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay as a sergeant major, overseeing Marine Corps Security Forces until 1992. With more than 30 years of steadfast service, he retired in 1996.
In 1997, Massingill returned to Kings Bay and began what was to become another highly accomplished career, this time in the civilian sector. Massingill was hired as Kings Bay MWR's bowling center manager. His determination and drive earned him several positions throughout his tenure, including recreation specialist and supervisor for MWR Facilities Maintenance, Eagle Hammock RV Park, and Navy Lake Site Allatoona.
During his time with MWR, Massingill contributed to numerous projects and improvements that directly benefit Kings Bay's service members and their families. He was the force behind the bowling center and TRIPLEX renovations. He coordinated with public works to install the golf course irrigation system and construct a golf course maintenance building. He added 10 RV sites to the Eagle Hammock RV Park and oversaw the renovation of Navy Lake Site Altoona's campground. He also started Active Duty Appreciation Day.
Massingill's focus has been on increasing the quality of life for service members. Despite his dedication to MWR, Massingill admits during his time as a Marine, he wasn't entirely convinced of the benefits of MWR.
"When I was in the Marine Corps, I dealt with MWR an awful lot. At that time, from an outward look at MWR, I didn't realize the support they provided," Massingill explained. "Working with MWR has given me an opportunity to see the difficulties MWR faces and I've gained a different perspective of the benefit of MWR.
"After 9/11, we went through really hard times," Massingill said. "Programs struggled, the golf course and bowling alley usage dropped. We wondered if MWR was going to survive or not."
Survive and thrive, it did. Most recently, Massingill was part of the MWR team that earned an accreditation from the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA), validating Massingill's belief that Kings Bay MWR is the most successful MWR in the Eastern region.
Massingill's accomplishments also led to other MWR recognitions, including the National Recreation and Park Association honor as the 2014 National Gold Medal Grand Award. In the same year, Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) awarded Kings Bay MWR with the 5-Star Accreditation honor, the highest achievable mark. Both of these awards recognize organizations that exceed standards for excellent programs and facilities, as well as financial and personnel management.
"Rick is the most dedicated and determined employee I've ever had the privilege to work with," said Bob Spinnenweber, MWR director. "He has been by my side every step as we worked to achieve these honors. I can honestly say that MWR would not be where we are today without him."
Massingill's efforts have impacted not only the quality of life for service members at Kings Bay, but have had a profound effect on his coworkers as well.
"Rick has been more than a supervisor," said Rob Mayville, Facilities and Recycling director. "Over the years, he has taken me under his wing and mentored me. Without realizing it, he has taught me much more in life than simply work. The importance of family is key. I wouldn't be where I am today if I had not had the opportunity to work for Rick the past 15 years."
Capt. James Jenks, commanding officer of Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, agreed.
"Mr. Massingill's countless accomplishments and immense contributions have indeed had a tremendous, far-reaching impact on the quality of life at SUBASE, and will serve the community well for years to come," said Jenks.
With a smiling look of contentment, Massingill says his retirement plans include moving to Pensacola, Florida, to spend more time with his children and grandchildren and participating in fishing tournaments, a favorite pastime.
While enjoying a round of golf on the lush course at Trident Lakes Golf Course, or playing ping-pong with pals at the TRIPLEX Liberty and Recreation Center, take a moment to think of Richard Massingill, enjoying a well-deserved retirement after giving so much to make this community what it is today.

text: According to Icelandic broadcaster RUV, authorities dug up the corpse of U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer's body on Sunday, to determine if he's the father of a 9-year-old Filipino girl—and whether she's heir to his $2 million fortune. A doctor, priest, and local sheriff were present. After DNA samples were taken, the body was reburied. In 2008, Fischer died of kidney failure in Iceland, and he didn't leave a will. So far, Fischer's two nephews and a Japanese woman with whom he lived have made claims on his cash; now, the 9-year-old Jinky, whose mother Marilyn Young says she and Fischer met at a tennis club in the Philippines, has entered the race. Young says that Fischer and Jinky spoke by phone every day since parting ways in 2005. Under Icelandic law, Fischer's child would be entitled to two-thirds of his legacy.

December 5, 2018 (Santee) -- Santee's Mast Park, the city's oldest and most used park, is getting a facelift that will retain current features but create some new amenities intended to make it even more family-friendly. The nearly 50-year old park, where city leaders and other government officials gathered Dec. 4 for a ceremonial groundbreaking, was due for an upgrade; plans to do so have been on the books since 2011.

Anti-Tripod Gun Battery
While the majority of artillery used in the great Martian War are general purpose weapons originally designed for human foes, the Anti-Tripod gun is the first purpose built weapon to counter the Invaders. Originally developed by the German company Krupp for the Kaiser and the German Empire in the days after the first Invasion, the United States imported a number of examples to investigate their viability. When the Second Invasion began the State Department was still attempting to acquire the manufacturing rights to begin domestic production, but simple things like copyrights don't seem all that important when faced with a tidal wave of tripods and the AT Gun was soon in domestic production with assurances passed to the Germans that things like royalties would certainly be payed out some time in the future.
The Anti-Tripod Gun has proved highly effective in the field despite its limited numbers. The 3.5 inch (or 90 mm if you're a European weirdo) high velocity shell is more than capable of smashing through the Alien war machines, and is especially potent when equipped with special Martian alloy capped shells.
The trademark over sized gun shield provides a bit more protection to the gun crew. The gun shield is manufactured in the same way as the hulls of the steam tanks with layers of asbestos insulation sandwiched in between steel plates.
In All Quiet on the Martian Front[edit]
If you were wondering when you would get your hands on a high power weapon without having to spend a truly exorbitant amount of points look no further.
The Anti-Tripod Gun is a 30 inch range +3 power weapon with Barrage 1 when loaded with an HE shell and a devastating 30 inch range +4 power when firing the special Anti-Tripod shell. HE essentially turns the AT gun into a single weapon Field Gun Battery with half the range so yeah, don't expect this weapon to do much against soft targets like Lobototon Hoards. Of course hoard clearing is not the point of the Anti-Tripod gun, and to be completely honest a hoard Martian player is an exceedingly rare breed, so you most likely will be using the AT shell at all times.
While you will be in range of a Concentrated heat ray shot at your max range, the Gun shield does give you an extra point of armor at 6 and the defense of 5 isn't much to rely on its still better than nothing. You wont be able to reposition should you find yourself out of place unless you have brought along some Flivers to hitch up to as the speed of "Tow Only" prevents you from moving at all unless hitched up to a transport. You may still pivot on the spot though if the Aliens try to flank you.
It will cost you 80 points to add a single Anti-Tripod Gun to your force.

Miley Cyrus' Parents May Have Saved Her Relationship With Liam Hemsworth
Miley learned a valuable lesson from her rents.
There's only one thing we know for certain, and that's that the world is a far better place when Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are together. Well, now it looks like we may owe a cheeky thanks to parents Billy and Tish for making that happen.
Miley and Liam were the epitome of couple goals before calling off their engagement in 2013. The world then appeared to be crumbling before our very eyes, but we were all able to breathe a collective sigh of relief when they rekindled their romance last year.
In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, Miley hinted a certain lesson in love from her parents could be what we have to thank for them reuniting.
"One thing i've learned about marriage from my parents: Nothing and no one stays the same. Grow, evolve, change with each other and celebrate your love's journey," she tells the mag.
Miley's Dad, Billy, first filed for divorce from her mum Tish in 2010 but dropped it a year later. Both filed for divorce again in 2013 but they reconciled once more after attending couple's therapy.
Just like her rents, Miley is all about rekindling romance and recently told SiriusXM: "People that break up and get back together, I think that's awesome because you know it's true."
Amen to that.
It's just like a wise woman once said, we gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love.

You are aware this thread is from 4 years ago, right? Do you even read the date, or just necro?
monday 25/06/2012
As Duessel WMD said:
Been done before. 3xShann + Willy wins even with all new releases.
For 2hko bangers, all stars, fang pi and junta work very good.
Some pill manip can work wonders to.
You could also just slap jackie and grakx in one deck and it will be very hard to go wrong.
Or montanas to simply overpower.
Really Uppers can really back up just about any clan.
If you want to play a 25 star gamemode, uppers have a few good 3 and 4 star characters to choose from but there level 2 characters are not standing out. so look for a clan with good 2*'s.
sunday 24/06/2012
I think you lose more.
saturday 23/06/2012
Still playtesting the cards you guys suggested and i am getting the hang of how to play the cards...
grakks won't be sold... yet
friday 22/06/2012
If a card dosn't have a bonus then + attack is better because it dosn't have a minimum.
Well there's more stuff to necro so logically yeah i guess
Depends on your style, I like Desmond over Donnie, he's more reliable (and I don't like losing a round for an ability, I try to 2HKO in the first 2 rounds) And Gianfranco is also more reliable than Sharon. SOA hits both and Gianfranco has more damage. And if it doesn't? SOB doesn't touch him. And with Nightmare and Piranas being popular, it helps a lot.

Ok, it was a little confusion. I was talking about the date on the little purple square under the PLAY ! button. There the date is MM/DD/YYYY ( 07/08/2012 )
While on the missions page it clearly says DD/MM/YYYY ( 08/07/2012 ). Mixing two types of date is confusing and I think as amethal, DD/MM/YYYY makes more sense. Or even YYYY/MM/DD.

Mayby you could try the freaks, excellent bluffers, with some high dmg or +life cards on the other half deck
or this deck: ice cold ladie Kalindra ELO
sunday 17/06/2012
Damage = opp damage always copy the basic number printed on the card, before any modification
so if you have la junta VS 4 damage card, and your opp has +3 damage (shogunn) you will only copy 4 damage, not 7 damage
the same applies with copy opp bonus too
as you can see, you will only copy 4 damage and +2 damage from la junta bonus which makes you have 6 damage
your opp will have 4 damage +2 damage from copy opp bonus which also makes them have 6 damage
Moon Steevens could be 25 and if Charlie had her when she was 18 Charlie would be late 30s but i suspect shes early - mid 40s.

UPS - I was home the whole time but got email saying I was not home and missed delivery, better yet, their customer service hanged up on me when I called !
This is the second time it had happened. I took a day off to sign for some delivery I'm expecting by UPS . There was no one knocking on the door nor info notice until around 3:30 PM when I went to sign for my Macy's stuff from another carrier . I got back and check the email, and saw a message from UPS saying
"We tried to deliver the package(s) shown below, but missed you" .
Wow, that's interesting, because I know for sure I was home the whole time ! And I think I know why this keeps happening: my apartment is on the second floor, to get to me you have to walk around and get up from the back porch, (I always have a sign on the front door giving clear directions when I'm expecting deliveries) . I have never had problems receiving packages except with UPS . If the UPS driver came up to deliver the package and thought I was not home, why didn't he leave the infonotice thing on the door from UPS ??? only explanation to me is that he was too lazy to actually carry the package and deliver it , therefore never was physically present at my door, hence can not leave the infonotice.
The first time this happened, the driver from second day told me the guy from previous attempt didn't know the rout , although I don't see how not knowing the rout has anything to do with marking the customer not home , I let it go because I thought maybe it was someone new . That was about a month ago, and this same thing happens today .
So I talked to the UPS customer service online, Rachael was very helpful and told me she will message the local UPS and have it redelivered today , and the local UPS center will give me a call
to let me know when . About an hour later, I got a call from local ( Palatine, IL ) UPS store, instead of apologizing for their nonprofessional service , the guy(he said his name so fast I couldn't catch it) on the phone tried to convince me that the driver did come up but I was not home . WHAT ?! I don't care if you and the driver are best buddies that you feel you have to stick up for him , I just want the package I paid for, which the merchant paid for you guys to deliver it to me . When your employee/driver fail to fulfill their duties, I expect you to at least realize what you have done wrong instead of challenging your customer .
Now comes the best part, the guy on the phone was never polite to begin with, after he told me the driver can not redeliver it today but tomorrow, and I said ok, thank you, there was about 2 second silence on the phone and he then hanged up .
What kind of attitude is that ? I am the pissed of customer who wasted time waiting on a package that never came ! So when the pissed off customer still had the commonsense and manner to thank you , what does it say about the employee and the company when their customer service hang up on the pissed off customer ?
To me it feels like UPS doesn't care . Since you don't care for my business, I will take my business to merchants who use other delivery methods in the future.
Another false complaint. Are all the "complaints" on this website false?
You ended the conversation, said the ending words of "Okay thank you," and then the person hung up because the conversation was over with. So no one has ever "hung up on you," so WTF are you even talking about?!
I think you know the answer to your statement: "To me it feels like UPS doesn't care"......look at the number of reviews 2107 and counting......and they don't show any signs of changing given that fact.......
They did the same thing to be today I was home all day working at my desk in my living room and then I get a alert from my email saying my package couldn't be delivered so I immediately ran outside to see if I seen him but of course I didn't and I always hear the ups trunk coming through my neighborhood they drive so fast but not today so I called customer service and was told either I wait till the next day or they would do a same day will call for access point so now I have go out of my way because you are letting these employees get away with this. And another thing I had no notice as well.
I was told by the supervisor that I would receive a phone call in a hour and I could go pick up my package but no call ever came so I called back 2 more times and finally at 8 o'clock tonight a whole six hours later I got a phone call that I could pick up my package.
Reporting this to BBB I'm sure I want be the first or last just sad. Will never buy from a merchant that uses them again

THE Glencassels Community Development Project in Craigneuk, Wishaw, welcomed a very special guest to the centre recently.
Talented singer-songwriter Kevin Ervin (25), from Brooklyn, New York, dropped into the Venny to chat to the kids and showcase some of his music.
Project chairperson Ella Naughton told the Wishaw Press: "Kevin's visit to the centre was an unbelievable experience for the kids who attended that night.
"The youngsters had the wonderful opportunity to listen to three of his songs from the self-penned Hearts and Arrows album."
Kevin is also a programming director for Vacamas, a non-profit camp for children from inner-city areas in New York and New Jersey.
Ella continued: "In addition to his work with Vacamas, Kevin also started up a programme called GLOW (Gaining Life's Other Ways) which helps disadvantaged kids just like the Glencassels Community Development Project."
The Glencassels Community Development Project has been at the heart of the community for almost two decades.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said that Israel has collaborated with Egypt in its Sinai operations, stressing that relations between the two countries have strengthened during his term in office. Egypt has been battling an insurgency in the northern Sinai Peninsula for years.
Interviewed by anchorman Scott Pelley, Sisi denied having political prisoners and "prisoners of opinion" in prison.
CBS said on Thursday that it had rejected Egypt's demands and will air the interview on 6 January. Unlike many other news organizations, we have not put up a paywall.
What did the president say?Another 120 people died at Ramses Square two days later.
Al-Sisi since 2014 at the top of the country. "We tried every peaceful means to disburse them", he said, claiming more than a dozen guns were found at the protest camp. Pelley pressed, citing Human Rights Watch figures reporting that 60,000 political prisoners were now being held in Egypt.El-Sisi responded again, without emotion, denying the figure and saying he had no idea where the number was coming from.Reps for el-Sisi at the Egyptian Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to request for comment from TheWrap about the "60 Minutes" claim.
"I don't know where they got that figure".
U.S. woman gives birth after being in vegetative state for a decade
We are proud of our record and our position as an industry leader in caring for the intellectually and developmentally disabled. It was easy for police to assume the patient was raped and impregnated during her vulnerable state.
During the meeting, Sisi said that the economic reform program helps promote confidence in the Egyptian economy's performance and ability to attract investments in a way that increases productivity rates and improves competitiveness, Rady added in the statement.
"We are trying to stand against extremists who want to impose their ideology on the people".
Asked whether cooperation between the countries could be described as the "closest ever", Sisi said: "That is correct..." "That is correct... We have a wide range of cooperation with the Israelis", he told the USA news outlet when asked if the military coordination between the countries was closer than it had ever been. But the network refused and plans to broadcast the interview on Sunday night.
Egypt was concluded in 1979 as the first Arab state to sign a peace Treaty with Israel. In February of 2018, the New York Times reported Israel was engaged in a full-blown aerial campaign against Islamic State targets in the Sinai, carried out covertly with Sisi's blessing.
The North of the Sinai Peninsula is a stronghold of radical forces.
When asked about Mr Sisi's interview with CBS on Friday, an Israeli military spokesperson told the BBC: "We do not comment on foreign reports".

Herby, tangy, nutty, and slightly salty, this Middle Eastern blend of herbs and spices elevates every dish it touches
The Chef'n granite mortar and pestle is simply the best there is.
Healthy, homemade popcorn, five ways.
Including salts made from chicken and anchovies.
That's right. It's salt—made out of chicken. And it belongs on everything.
This seven-spice blend is typical of Lebanese cooking and full of dimension. Try it on chicken or pork chops too.
And roasted vegetables. And popcorn. And basically everything.
We're crazy about infusing our butters with bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme—and we're turning those butters into herby and spicy cakes.
Za'atar spread adds savory, herby flavor to everything from crostini to eggs.
Halved sweet potatoes steam in the time it takes to sauté mushrooms and ground lamb with a heap of fragrant spices. Crisp shaved veg and a simple yogurt sauce round it out for your new go-to weeknight dinner.
The versatility of the cumin is practically unmatched in the spice world. But if you're buying the pre-ground stuff, you're only getting half the story.
It's kraaaaaaaaazy.
You know how at parties you can get a little, uh, hot under the collar? That's where we got the idea to take down the temperature of a classic hot toddy for a more refreshing approach to the seasonal mix of tea, citrus, spices, and rye whiskey.
These homemade onion-flavored chips just might be more addictive than the store-bought versions.
Bath duck in a spiced (nutmeg, allspice) and spicy (habanero) marinade, stick it in the oven, ignore it for five hours, then serve it with fixings for build-it-yourself tacos.
Let these cakes, puddings, pies, and tarts put the merry into your Christmas festivities.
We tested 21 brands of cinnamon to determine the very best one. Here are the results.
These spice blends make a thoughtful (and useful) gift for those picky cooks in your life.
This dough is too delicate to weave into a true lattice without breaking. Instead, arrange the strips in a crosshatch pattern, crossing over in a few places (it will look just as pretty).
Keep a jar of dukkha—a mix of spiced, salted seeds—in the pantry to add life to roasted winter squash or any other simply prepared vegetable.

It's not very often Gary Neville becomes a poster-boy for Arsenal fans, but he adopted that mantle on last night's Monday Night Football.
That the exchange with Carragher came during a Liverpool match provided a nice counterpoint. Jurgen Klopp came into Liverpool with a completely different idea of football to his predecessor. He's now in his fourth season at the club, having overseen six transfer windows.
Only now has he a first team which is considered genuine title contenders; it's been a long job. That gives you an idea of the size of the task facing Unai Emery.
Neville's assertion that the Spaniard is learning about his squad is very true. The defeats in the two opening games were no surprise; the manner of those defeats is the steep learning curve. That we have no 'untouchables' – Ramsey dropped, Özil hooked – is part of that assessment.
However, some players will become 'untouchable'; it's the nature of team sports. A coach trusts some players because they assimilate to his ideas. Emery will follow that path, with Guendouzi looking to be the quickest to find his home in the Spaniard's thinking.
Nothing is set in stone at this stage. The defensive side of our game is the immediate concern. Not just the back four, but the defensive side of the midfield and attack. The fabled high press. We're not carrying it out consistently across each segment of the pitch.
In part, we're still learning and adaptation in the summer friendlies was hard. The heat of Singapore and the levels of fitness; there was little chance of it being implemented immediately. There's also the players understanding as a collective how it works. It only takes one instance of fluffed lines for the whole thing to fall apart.
Hook, Line and Stinker
The training sessions point Emery in the direction of those who are adapting quickest to his thinking, but it's the players who aren't adapting which are his problem.
Neville highlighted Mesut Özil but that's the easy way out. He's a high-profile target, easy to hit because of his salary. I'm not defending him, by the way, because he hasn't performed so far.
However, he's not the only one and the money a player earns isn't the benchmark of whether he is adapting. All Özil's salary points to is how good his agents are at negotiating or depending on your viewpoint, how bad Arsenal are/were at contract negotiations.
Hooking Özil for a poor performance is refreshing but let's not go overboard. I will be stunned if he doesn't become untouchable very quickly. Emery's pressing game is similar to Joachim Löw's Germany; it's just a variation of something he is used to.
Özil's substitution signalled a new approach on the sidelines, nothing more. Granit Xhaka's substitution did the same but that has largely skated under the radar because of the German. We lost some impetus in transition when the Swiss went off but he was definitely a red card waiting to happen.
Those two changes don't signal the failure of players to adapt. All they tell us is that at this moment in time, reputations mean nothing to Emery. It's a new ruthlessness; paternal indulgence is gone and a younger, driven man is at the helm.
The squad are beginning to understand that as well. Neville's point about players walking all over Emery if he chops and changes is never going to happen at Arsenal, however. It's too much effort; we'd just slip back into our tippy-tappy ways.
Young Hearts Run Free
Each player has different things to learn. Hector Bellerin is under fire still but in the attacking sense, he grasps Emery's ideas. You can see that already and that both our goals came from the right underline the key role the full-back plays. The signing of Roy Lichtsteiner will improve his defensive play, as will proper defensive coaching.
Wenger's emphasis on players free-thinking within a framework is at odds with the regimented roles Emery has for the position. Bellerin is a younger squad member whose game will only improve within that structure.
In the centre, it's hard to see Sokratis and Mustafi surviving beyond next summer. The former is too slow for the high defensive line while the latter is, well, just the latter. Koscielny's return in November may bring some stability instead of the German but ultimately, we'll go into the next two transfer windows looking for experienced centre-backs in their mid-twenties. Pace will be the key there.
The focus on defensive play is natural given the first two competitive matches of Emery's reign. At Chelsea, we saw the attack come together. OK, no goals for the strikers but how often have I said we need others to find the net? For the goals to be shared around? It's been a pet peeve for years.
I don't doubt goals will come for Lacazette and Aubameyang. They are too good at their jobs for it not to happen. I do believe that as we get more confident and capable defensively, we'll create more chances but that relies on players adapting to the new requirements. The quicker that happens, the better.
Adapt and Survive? Adapt and Die?
What I found baffling was Carragher's assertion the coach must adapt to the players. As if the old way of playing saw us claim title after title. Emery's plan took into account a paper and video-based assessment of the squad. He knew before he started where the problems lay. The question is how long will it take him to solve them?
This isn't a quick job. Emery has limited funds and we aren't going to solve our problems by hopping on a jet to Spain to slap €60m on the table to buy a centre-back. As much as the coach is in the spotlight, so too are the scouts and other back office staff. A coherent strategy, driven by the coach, is crucial to building a team which can get back to the upper echelons of the table.
It's interesting but Neville's timescales inadvertantly fit in with Arsenal history. 1953, 1971, 1989; 2021-22 for the title anyone?
'til Tomorrow.
