This is the last in the series of articles by Simon Morrell to support our Stamp Out Bullying USA campaign.
I recently came across an old school friend who I hadn't seen in years and we caught up on a lot of things from the past. She has been reading From Bullied to Black Belt and seemed quite upset about my experiences. Many people have written to me and expressed similar feelings, some have asked how I coped, others have asked for advice on how they can overcome adversity whatever that adversity might be.
The answer is sometimes not what we want to hear, certainly not at the time of the storm we find ourselves in but it is an answer none the less: we treat it as a gift. We embrace it, hate it, accept it and fight it but it is a gift no doubt.
The first person to enlighten me to this theory was a very wise Martial Artist who knew I was struggling with a particularly bad situation. A close friend had turned bandit and stooped to dealing drugs. The biggest problem with this, was that he lived in the same area as me and made the neighbourhood a hell with his muscle cars, gangster friends, constant parties and the ever underbelly of violence against whoever objected to his antics. One of the objectors was me.
He spent almost three years trying to intimidate me, threaten me, torment me and harass me into leaving the area. I was a thorn in his rose. His problem was that prior to this I has spent most of my life running from one bully or another, yet another crisis, yet another early night so I wouldn't have to meet people and yet another morning being greeted by shame.
Sick to the back teeth of this lifestyle I set about my path in life and it was Martial Arts. The gift that my childhood bullies, teenage attackers and adult thugs gave me was the gift of Martial Arts through adversity. Attached to that package was some sort of backbone.
So when my friend turned dark he was faced with a neighbour who was no stranger to conflict. The problem being I couldn't see it at the time. All I could see was misery until said wise man stepped up.
"Simon you will look back on this in years to come and know why it happened," he shared. Truthfully I couldn't see it at the time but when he went on to talk about how my bullying problem lead ultimately to my Black Belt I conceded he point. He could see it, I couldn't but I trusted what was being said. It was logical: if I hadn't been bullied I wouldn't be a Black Belt. If I could just be strong and take this next batch of adversity even though I couldn't see any positive in it then somewhere down the line I would get it.
Fast forward some years. My whole life I have wanted to live in America and take my story there. Next month sees the next stage of that dream when we travel to New York to talk to people who are being bullied, who are fearful and who cannot see their gift. My adversity turned into an article which turned into a book which is turning into a film. My gift is being honoured to be asked to teach in New York.
What will I teach? What will I tell people? I will tell them to stand strong and see it through because adversity is also their gift. If I had not had my troubles then what on earth would I stand in front of them and talk about? How could I help them? How could I show them the proof of this story if it hadn't happened?
Follow the trail:
No bullies, no Martial Arts.
No Martial Arts, no backbone.
No backbone, let the dealer (fear) dominate.
Let the dealer (fear) dominate, no book.
No book, no film, no USA dream, no helping souls who need it.
No adversity? No gift. Embrace it, hate it, accept it, fight it but recognise its gift. I am sure on my travels I will encounter adversity again but this time I hope I can see past it to a gift. I am sure I won't see what that gift is but I know it will be there waiting, I just have to stand up for it. Do the same, you do the same. Whatever your adversity, bad job, poor relationship, lack of funds whatever it is, welcome your friend adversity.
It is not to late to get some great perks and help our campaign here
Tomorrow is closing date for the campaign to help us fight bullying in America.

CHARLES DICKENS. His early life .

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, the son of a Navy pay clerk. When Dickens was 12, his father was put in prison for debts and he had to work in a shoe-blacking factory: this experience was to make him a lifelong campaigner for social justice and reform.
After his father was released he continued his schooling until the age of 15, then he started working in a solicitor's office where he came into contact with courts and the Victorian underworld and conceived a hatred of the Law that he reveals in "Bleak House".
Dickens began writing at a time when literacy had greatly risen as well as the public lending libraries. In particular, many middle and lower – class women were now learning to read and wanted amusing but also respectable edifying entertainment. D. was a great story-teller and his major novels were published in monthly instalments in periodicals. Sometimes audience reaction even affected how D. developed the story.
Charles Dickens's novels combine humour with a sentimental plea for reform in favour of the less fortunate. They constitute the bulk of what is called "the humanitarian novel" or "the novel of purpose"
D. employed the most effective language and accomplished the most graphic and powerful descriptions of life and character ever attempted by any novelist, by means of a careful choice of adjectives, repetition of words and structures, juxtapositions of images and ideas, hyperbolic and ironic remarks.

At least one of the vehicles involved in the crash rolled over.
The one known victim was male, according to Illinois State Police. It was not yet clear how many other people were inside the vehicles, or if anyone else was hurt.
The accident caused eastbound lanes on I-80 to be shut down for about two hours Sunday evening, but they were reopened.

Depo Provera generally does not affect vaginal lubrication but for some women, this might be a side effect. There are water soluble vaginal lubricants that can be purchased (over the counter, without a prescription) that will help with dryness, for example: Astro Glide or KY Jelly.
Vaginal dryness is NOT permanent and once you are off of a hormonal method of birth control (that includes birth control pills, patches, and vaginal rings, as well as Depo Provera), your normal vaginal mucus will return – but your ability to get pregnant will also return!
Never use an oil-based product, such as Vaseline (petroleum jelly) because they can actually hurt vaginal tissue and cannot be used with condoms. Additionally, you should avoid products that contain oils or fragrances because they actually can cause vaginal irritation and increase the chances of getting a vaginal infection, like a yeast infection. Douching is NOT effective for moisturizing and will also increase the risk of infection.

Cold enough out there for you? I'm so glad I can stay inside today. Hopefully the work phones will cooperate, and I can have plenty of time to play with my new SU toys!
I made this card just using scraps of paper and ribbon I found while cleaning up my work space. Hey..what better way to avoid cleaning up by stopping to make a card?? ha ha!!
The card features a new FREE stamp set from SU called "Big Day." You can earn this set for FREE with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping) during Sale-a-Bration! Who doesn't like FREE?? It's my favorite time of year! :)
This card was so fast to whip together, they would be easy to make a bunch to have in your stash.
I began by stamping the word image at the top of a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring
2-3/4" x 4" using Memento black ink. Next I stamped the cake and candle at the bottom. Then I stamped the banner portion on a scrap of Whisper White and fussy cut it out with my scissors. Set aside. I then glued the main image to a piece of black cardstock measuring 3" x 4-1/4". I used my aqua pen to add a little bit of color to the word "cake" and to the cake image. In this sample I used Pretty in Pink ink (retired) because it matched the scrap of ribbon I found. For a bit of contrast, I used a Strawberry Slush marker to the edge of the icing on the cake, and Daffodil Delight marker for the flame. To add a little sparkle, I colored the flame, icing edge, and the edges of the word "cake" with a glitter pen which is non-SU. This added just the right amount of bling. I used my tiny stapler to secure the scrap of ribbon, and added dimensionals to the back of this layer. I cut small pieces of dimensionals and added to the back of the banner that I had fussy cut, and put that in place over top of where the original banner was stamped. This adds a lot of dimension to the project.
The card base is a normal A2 sized card, and the layer of DSP measures 4" x 5-1/4". The DSP was non-SU also. Again...I was just using up what was on my desk. I love to do that sometimes. Just to sit down and create something with what's laying on your desk. (Ok...I confess...there's always a LOT of stuff just laying on my desk!) After I glued the DSP to the card front, then I added the focal image to the center of the card. Easy peasy!
I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but it looks exactly the same as the front (DSP and text box) only I stamped the words "and perhaps a little ice cream!" I think this card would also work well as a masculine birthday card if you chose another color other than pink.
Hope you stay warm, and have a creative day!

|I live in Riverside,CA. I would like to plant a flowering boarder that would bloom all year. Low maintenance.
|Perennials and annuals each have their own flowering season so you will want to plant a variety so you will always have something in bloom. Easy care plants are usually native to the area. Some shady area suggestions include Aristolochia californica (California Dutchman's Pipe), Asarum caudatum (Wild Ginger), and Lilium humboldtii (Humbolt Lily). Annuals and perennials require a bit more maintenance, but the following plants are all good choices: Aconitum (Monkshood), Arum, Begonia, Caladium, Campanula, Clivia miniata (Kaffir Lily), Coleus, Lily-of-the-Valley, Dicentra (Bleeding Heart, Impatiens, Lobelia, Polygonatum (Solomon's Seal), Primrose, Vancouveria and Pansy. Hope these suggestions are just right for your border. Enjoy!

If you are considering retirement or have already left the workforce, maintaining a steady stream of income is essential to a comfortable lifestyle. That means having enough money each month to pay your household bills with some extra dollars to spend on travel, recreation or hobbies.
Unless you have the good fortune to be eligible for a traditional pension, you will probably need to rely on the funds that can be generated by your investments and your Social Security payments. In other words, you have to switch gears from focusing on savings to managing your income and your spending.
Developing a sound financial strategy for retirement begins with thinking about your personal goals. Do you have a spouse or partner to consider? Do you want to leave a large estate to your children or a legacy to a college or charity? Or would you prefer to travel the world and enjoy the results of your hard work while you can?
Next, you need to think about the financial risks you may face in retirement. While many retirees worry the most about their assets losing value in a market downturn, inflation is actually a greater long-term risk, since it robs your assets of purchasing power. That's why putting all your assets in "safe" places like money market funds or Treasury bills is usually not a good idea.
Returns on those assets are usually below the inflation rate, so the buying power of your portfolio could shrink every year.
Other financial risks include longevity. Americans today are living longer than ever, raising the risk of outliving your income.
Let's say you have $1million in your retirement portfolio and withdraw $100,000 a year for expenses. In this example, your savings would only last for a little over 10 years (depending on the interest on those funds before withdrawals).
On the other hand, you might be faced with a medical emergency or require expensive long-term care later in life. Therefore, you should keep at least a portion of your portfolio into liquid assets, like a money market fund, that you could tap immediately if needed. You may also want to talk with your advisor about purchasing some type of long-term care insurance policy that could help cover the costs of a nursing home or other assisted living residential program.
After reviewing your retirement goals and risks, the next step is to analyze your expenses. How much money will you need to cover food, utilities, shelter, clothing and transportation? Remember that some of those costs, such as commuting to work or purchasing career attire, may decline in retirement.
For example, you might have to maintain an income of $60,000 a year or $5,000 a month to cover those necessities. Fortunately, Social Security payments can usually cover a significant portion of those costs.
If you expect to receive $2,000 a month from Social Security, your investments would only need to generate $3,000 a month to make up the difference in this example. Of course, your investments ideally would produce more than $3,000 a month so you could have some extra money to spend on things you enjoy.
If there is still a gap between your expected monthly expenses and your desired income, there are several solutions. You could delay retirement for a year or two in order to continue building up your investments. That would also increase the size of your Social Security payments, which are based on age at your retirement. Other options include downsizing and moving to a less expensive home, selling one of your household vehicles or other personal possessions.
Finally, you should talk with your advisor about retooling your portfolio to generate the income you need for your lifestyle, protect against the risks of retirement, and provide an estate for your heirs. Remember there's no "one-size-fits-all" solution to the financial issues of retirement, so take the time to develop a strategy that's well-suited to your personal situation.

Miles today: 4.52 miles, 400s x 6 on the treadmill (5:45AM), & 2.12 miles, easy (7:30PM)
Miles in 2013: 302.29 miles
I woke up this morning like a kid on Christmas. And not because I had a date with the treadmill to do a little speed work at 5:40AM. This is the first morning I have done speed work, usually I reserve that kind of fun for the afternoons. I did not eat a thing before hitting the 'mil and it definitely affected how I felt. I hate eating anything that early, but will be changing up the routine in the future. Last run before the 7 Mile Bridge Run!
I woke up excited because I have been working hard on a little side project that just came out this morning. I was a little hesitant to post about it, but frankly am too excited not to mention it.
A few weeks ago, I was approached to write for a new magazine and website in Florida called Fit Nation. I love all the people I have met so far and am super excited about both the website and magazine. It is an amazing way for athletes and people around Florida (and hopefully the US) to meet and interact. You can check out my first article here!
I have been cautiously excited and overly anxious about my article running on the website. It can be slightly terrifying putting your work out there in internet land. Then again I post on in my tiny corner of the internet on a daily basis about eating a cupcakes and whole bags of candy. Regardless, I am thrilled for the opportunity and have already met a bunch of great people who are full of passion for what they do.
I also am super excited for two of my favorite people. My friend Heather finished a 10 mile race this past weekend and just signed up for her first half marathon. She is going to be amazing and I am so proud of her! Maybe my #6 for 2013???
Annnnnd two weeks from today I am flying to Nashville to meet up with this girl to run the Country Music Half Marathon!! CANNOT FREAKING WAIT.
I celebrated the end of the day with a couple more miles to the beach for sunset.
Cute old men don't know how to use a camera phone, FYI. So sweet of him to try though.
Happy almost Friday!!!

Changing the way to buy a new car
Read Rockar's story of why we think that the car buying experience is broken and needs to be redesigned completely
See why we're different
Rockar's founder, Simon Dixon built the UK's 3rd largest car retailer over a 20 year period. After the sale of Dixon Motors PLC to RBS in 2004, Simon started to experience the car buying process from the customer's side of the fence.
He felt frustrated with the customer experience offered by the industry. This inspired him to create a concept that would become a car buying game-changer: Rockar.com.
Rockar opened its first store at Bluewater shopping centre with Hyundai in November 2014, with a second store opening in Westfield Stratford City shopping centre in December 2015. Rockar opened its third store in October 2016, the Jaguar Land Rover store based at the Street, Westfield Stratford City. The stores offer both retail convenience and a relaxed and refreshing customer experience.
Online and retail hand-in-hand
The Car Finder website approach was a world first, empowering the customer to be in charge every step of the way. Search and configure your new car, part exchange your old car, choose a finance option that suits your needs, and then track delivery online. All delivered without a sales person steering the process.
Our stores use large touch screens to access the Rockar application with the support of Rockar Angels, the car super brains of our business. Rockar Angels know all about the new cars on display but never speak in jargon. They can also help you to book a YouDrive, allowing you to test drive all by yourself.

Following an earlier study we'd carried out to assess the renewable energy generation potential in Stoke-on-Trent, we were asked by the city council to look at the opportunity to provide heat from biomass in social housing schemes.
Having first assessed a cluster of schemes to select the most suitable, we then carried out a detailed feasibility assessment to determine site heat demands, demand profile, plant size and boiler plant design options, and fuel type, availability, price and quantity required. We assessed spatial constraints and the operational permits, planning and regulatory consents needed. We also carried out a full economic appraisal - identifying financial incentives, energy and carbon savings and likely impact on fuel poverty levels.
Our report highlighted two properties that could be serviced by biomass district heating. The system was designed to meet their demand, with a comprehensive economic appraisal carried out against system supplier quotes to estimate return on investment. The conclusion was that all residents could be removed from fuel poverty, saving around 30% of their annual heating bills and 63,000kg CO2 per year.

Understanding why Online Security is important
[This a guest blog post from my colleague & dear friend, Rauf]
Understanding why Online Security is important
I could dive into the usual do's and don'ts of security but within 5 minutes most of you would have switched off or started to think about what to watch on YouTube so let's try a different approach.
How many of you have a front door? Pretty much all of you, in fact some of you will have more than one if you live in flats or apartment complexes. You wouldn't leave your front door open and expose yourself and your family to an increased level of risk now would you?
So what about your mobile assets? Many of you drive cars and again, you wouldn't leave your nice expensive car unlocked, or even your beaten up little runabout for that matter if it had your SatNav, your laptop, phone etc. in it, would you?
These attitudes to our own and our family's personal safety are not in built into us at birth. For many of our grandparents security was not as big a priority as it is for us. We've all heard, even if anecdotally, that there was a time when people used to leave their doors open and unlocked. I'm
sure there are still places in the world like that but they are the exception and are becoming rarer every day. The world has changed, dramatically, as we move more and more of our lives online we are creating a wealth of personal capital there as well. We are still learning that we need locks in our digital world in the same way as our physical.
For those of us who have been there since the early days of the internet it was a time of freedom and exploration, but those days are gone and there are many people and organisations out there who are ready, willing and eager to take and exploit our personal information. We have not yet realised the value of our digital lives and possessions and they do have a value. Data is constantly being traded by companies and organisations (both legitimate and not) around the world. That data is not a bunch of abstract ones and zeros, it's information about you and I, when we were born, are we married, where we shop, etc. We don't realise how valuable this information is in much the same way we don't realise how valuable our TV's and laptops are until we lose them or have to insure them.
Obviously some information is more important but have we really thought about how important all our information is. We would not walk around with our bank account number inked on our arm or leave the key to our safety deposit box lying around on our desk at work. They may not be enough to let some-one walk away with our life savings but why take the risk, yet we do the online equivalent every day, sometimes every single time we go online. We leave digital trails whenever we wonder through the internet, we give websites permission to track our movements, scripts run and gather information from our computers malware potentially lurks on any unfamiliar website (and sometimes on the familiar ones). For the most part we are unaware of these things happening in the background.
But how many of us run up to date anti-virus, and anti-spyware?
How many of us protect our browsers where we spend most of our online time?
Let me leave you with this thought, our online security is every bit as important as our physical security and increasingly more so. If your car was stolen you can replace it fairly quickly, if your identity is stolen and your credit record trashed it could take you years to rebuild it.
It wouldn't be fair to encourage you to improve your online security without providing a few links to some tools to help you do that. There are many anti-virus applications out there, some free, some commercial. In some countries the larger banks will provide their online users with free anti-virus so worth checking.
There are fewer anti-spyware apps and even less programs that provide complete protection, this is an area where a little research and preparation can pay dividends in the long run.
In no particular order you can try the following (these are not personal recommendations, just a few of the more well known applications that you may wish to try out). Remember that some applications may not play nice with each other, for example running 2 anti-virus programs can cause problems and will make your computer run much slower.
Phone security and tracking
Here in the good old UK we have a web service for registering our 'goods', so in the event they are lost/stolen and subsequently retreived by Law Enfocrement then they have a means of returning them to you. The website is pretty cool as you can register a large number of items, it is:
Also known as the 'UK National Property Register'
But beyond that, how can I track my new expensive Galaxy S5 in the event is goes wandering? Well, first off go to Settings > Security > Device administrators and activate 'Android Device Manager'. Once you have done that AND enable Location services on your phone (yeah, yeah, i know!) then you can track it thanks to the magic of Google using this link (assuming you are signed into the same Google account as on the phone):
What can you do? Simple really, TRACK it or if you want RING, LOCK or ERASE aka Remote Wipe (careful of the last one, deletes ALL data).
I'll be looking for 3rd party Android apps that provide some better functionality that do not rely upon Location Services. If you know of any please do leave a comment with suggestions.
Protected PDFs
An annoyance of mine, PDFs that you cannot print. OR ones that are locked to a timeframe, usually by embedded Javascript. I had a time restricted one, I wasn't able to print it during the period i was able to open it so had to go searching for a solution to be able to open it…and here it is:
I've used it a few times now and it works very well. Do let me know if the link breaks!
I fully understand why certain documents need to be protected from print, copy or need a time restriction. There are legitimate reasons to do so, however in this instance there really was no need. It was more of an annoyance as when I went to open the file it told me my 7 days were up….but ermmm…i had not even opened you during the 7 day grace period. Now I need you! So i sought a solution, and found one!
World War Z…
World War Zulf. That's what happened after I watched the movie that makes up the title of this post. I was angry.
Having read, and being a hug fan of, the book by Monsieur Brooks I was stunned to watch through a big screen version of it that bore little relation to its pages of narrative. Forget the 'fast' zombies for a minute, I suppose I could live with that concept (not happy mind, just can deal with it).
You see, the book reads like a diary or a journal. It is made up of a collection of post 'World War Z' stories from very different individuals around the world who have survived. I read the book a while ago so I might miss some points, but here-in is a list of my biggest problem with the movie adaptation:
- No mention of the morale sapping defeat at Yonkers, then the subsequent stand-off to offense from the west coast
- No real mention of patient zero and how it all started
- Not even a credit to General Raj Singh (most disappointing)
- Not a utterance of the South African 'Redeker'plan or its horrific designs
- No mention of the nuclear war between Iran & Pakistan
- No mention of the false rabies vaccine
- The survival concept of many of the characters, one whose own voice helps her and another is a blind Japanese swordsman
- …and where's the Lobo???!!!
What was completely wrong in the movie is thus
- Fast zombies – what the heck? Only in 28 days later…
- South Korea? Why? did they mistake it for South Africa?
- Israel over-run so easily, don't think so
- Zombies on the plane, *yawn* so boring
- The WHO in bloomin Cardiff? Who'd have thought?!
- Errr….and the solution, inject yourself with a deadly virus or bacteria – and the Zeds ignore you? wth? Never saw that coming
The movie was largely pathetic, someone needs to re-make it. It would have to be an epic 3-parter much like LOTR.
- Part 1 – Origin story, initial spread, The Great Panic, World War Z starts
- Part 2 – Morale sapping defeats, surviving humans consolidate, Redeker & the Gen. Raj Singh Sq kicks in
- Part 3 – USofA goes on the offensive, Radio Free World, the clean-up starts, humans rebuild starting in Cuba
That would be ace, but it won't happen. At least there is no way (I hope) that they can make a sequel to this aforementioned drivel!
Actually, it is a wonderful country!
Thanks to this article for promoting the good stuff
also see the following
Pakistan, you don't know it till you go there. It is a stunning country, up in the northern regions at the foothills of the himalayas it truly is wonderful. With peaks like Nanga Parbat and K2 (Ketu), the mighty Indus and the amazing people (yes, amazing) it totally destroys the tarnished image Pakistan has in the media-managed world.
Go and explore, I recommend it. Until you do, you won't know any difference between hype and reality!

OK~ Our cell phones are with us 24/7 and when we find ourselves without one, we feel lost. In a recent U.S. Cellular survey, 65 percent of people would rather live without tv than without their smartphone. We feel lost when our smartphones are not working at 100%. If my Samsung S7 were to get wet and go for a swim, I would do everything in my power to get it running again. Should you find yourself with a wet cell phone in hand, do not panic and remember that you will have a workable phone in your hand, in a relatively short period of time.
Things can even feel worse when we watch our cell phones get wet, by taking a swim in a lake or swimming pool. It's been a few years since I have personally had this experience, but a few years ago, with teens in the house, we had more than one that went for an occasional swim. If you have kids in your home, be sure to check out U.S. Cellular's Parent/Child Agreement. This opens the doorway for conversation, in regards to online safety with your kids.
So, what's a person to do when their smartphone goes for a swim in the local lake or swimming pool? The most important thing to remember is to not panic and retrieve your phone as soon as possible.
Retrieve your smartphone as quickly as possible, which means taking it out of water right away. The longer it's submerged in liquid, the more likely it is to be irrevocably damaged.
Don't test the phone to see if it still works by turning it on and off because pressing the screen and buttons push liquid further into your device. The critical steps are to power off the phone, such as the iPhone 6s, doesn't have a removable battery, power off the device right away to prevent a possible short circuit.
Take off any cases or covers, headsets, or other accessories. Take out the SIM card and carefully dry it off with a soft towel or cloth. The SIM card may retain data even if the waterlogged phone itself is damaged.
Carefully wipe the phone with a clean, soft towel or cloth. Try to avoid getting water into the phone's cracks, indentations, ports or other openings. If water is trapped in a crevice, use a can of compressed air to blow it out, taking care not to blow the water further inside the phone.
A fan can blow air across the phone's openings to help dry it out, so keep it blowing for at least a few hours.
If the above methods do not work, don't despair. Sometimes it can be fixed when when home remedies have not worked. Be honest about what happened and walk an associate or technician through the steps that were already taken to try and fix it.
And most importantly, make note of what you should not do. Do not use heat on your wet smartphone. It's tempting to break out a hair dryer or two, but don't do it; as the heat can warp the phone's circuits and melt it's delicate internal components.
Most importantly have a back up plan, before your phone goes for a swim. Make sure your important data, photos and contacts are backed up. If the phone is not recoverable, at least your important information and memories are saved. U.S. Cellular offers Device Protection+, which not only replaces a water-damaged phone, but also comes with tools to back up your data and protect against malware.
Solutions like the Bheestie Bag or Dry-All are specifically designed to dry out wet mobile devices. These products can often prevent lingering moisture that can do further damage to the phone.
Have you ever gotten your cell phone wet? Did you have success with any home remedies? If so, I'd love to hear about them!

Chapter Eleven
Summary Edit
In the Dark People's Library, the White Dragon is quietly reading when she hears a noise from behind her. She asks if it's Crow; turning in her chair, she reacts with mild surprise and asks "Are you looking for something?" She then recoils with horror - as the scene blacks out we hear a scream, and a flapping sound, like wings or a falling book.
Zoë Castillo wakes up in Damien Cavanaugh's apartment, right where she left. But despite his promise, Damien's nowhere to be seen. Her attention is grabbed by the beeping console in the corner: it contains a message. Damien apologises for leaving her, but says WATI traced the Data Worm back to him and he had to flee. Zoë shouldn't stay there too long either. But he had time to finish getting the coordinates. The corruption in DreamNet began in Russia, just outside Saint Petersburg. She can get there by Scramjet. Damien wishes her luck but says he has to go into hiding for a while.
As she gets changed, Zoë checks her voicemail. There's a message from her father. He's been calling and getting no reply, and he's worried. Zoë calls back and leaves him a message, pretending she's at home and was just too lazy to pick up. She promises she hasn't spoken to Reza either. Once she's ready, Zoë leaves Damien's apartment.
We arrive at the coordinates in Russia with Zoë, a location that turns out to be an abandoned doll factory. Zoë manages to break in and explore, but apart from a security bird on the roof, there's no sign of life. Tracking the coordinates, she realises she's standing above them, and uses the factory winch to get into the lower levels through a grate. Below, she discovers a long-abandoned laboratory, with computers and an observation room, made up like a child's bedroom. Zoë looks curiously at the drawings on the walls, and at a doll's house still standing on a table, a very familiar house. Inside it, she finds a data cube and puts it into one of the computers. It contains the notes and journal of a Dr. Jeanine Park.
As Zoë watches, the story of this place unfolds, the story of a little girl who was brought here for an experiment by WATI. Over the weeks and months, this child was used as a test subject for Morpheus. She spent most of that time drawing and playing with her house, watched by the scientists from beyond a one-way wall, as she became more and more ill. Dr. Park chronicles how the girl's heart weakened under the strain until, after a massive dose of Morpheus, the girl died. Just as she passed away, the screens in the lab flickered with a massive burst of static, showing the doll house - or a version of it, anyway. After that, the experiment was cleared away and everything covered up, kept quiet. But Dr. Park resolved to leave the data cube behind, so something would remain of what happened here, of the life that was lost.
The little girl's name was Faith. Finally Zoë has a name for the child from her visions.
There's nothing more she can do here. Zoë leaves, and heads for home.
Themes & References Edit
As would be expected, this chapter deals with faith, both the child essentially killed by WATI, and the concept of faith. For Zoë, her faith in Damien takes a blow when he leaves her alone, and she gives Gabriel reason to lose faith in her because she leaves a lie on his voicemail. But her discovery of the truth behind Faith's death is the most important event in this chapter.
When leaving a message for her father, Zoë's insistence that she hasn't spoken to Reza and that she's staying out of trouble seems to be a direct reference to the cut 'Rain Conversation' back in Chapter Three.

Sheikh Nur-ud-Din Wali
As a saint, revolutionary, patriot and poet he has exerted enormous influence on the beliefs and thinking of the people of Kashmir through five centuries, establishing a culture of utmost religious toleration with an abiding faith in the omnipresence of God.
Although he could neither read nor write he spontaneously uttered verses, called 'Shruks' in which he spoke of the transitoriness of life and its pleasures, and exhorted people to cultivate self-discipline and piety. These shruks have become proverbial and form the basis of two works called the Rishi Nama and Nur Nama.
One of his most famous sayings that has gained relevance through the centuries is:
'An poshi teli yeli wan poshi'
Food will suffice only till forests survive
We can therefore consider him as one of history's earliest conservationists.
The tomb of Alamdar-e-Kashmir at Chrar-e-Sharif, 28 Kms southwest of Srinagar, is revered by people of all religions.

'Tales From Home' – Brian Hassan - a style that's all his own(February 06, 2018)
Another 'man with guitar' album, although it's actualy more than that - this one also features some fine guest musicians adding cello, low whistle, mandolin and violin to give depth and interest. This is a fine album, however the true impact of 'Tales From Home' comes from Hassan's voice as it moves between softly entreating and carefully appealing, add a poetic focus to the lyrics and sparse yet engaging instrumentation and you have an album that will quietly grow on you. The arrangements hold the songs yet never intrude on the man's sensitive delivery, the song focus ranges from personal expression, clear observation and considered reflection.
The themes range around feelings of love, loss, sadness and acceptance. Nothing here that's immediately earth shattering, however, a distinctive style pervades that attracts and holds, there are narratives that you care about with characters and situations that hold your interest. The high points to listen for are: 'Home', 'Last dance alone' and 'The Jester and the dancer'. It would be easy to compare Hassan to any number of idiosyncratic singer songwriters but that would be an injustice because there's a style here that's all his own.

Sonic 2 Recreation - Part One Available NOW!

Also, people are disliking the advance art. Okay, fair comments. So I have ditched the advance levels (except Chaos Angel Zone). Here is a new level I am working on, but let me explain.
I suck at art, I can't draw for shit. So what I did, is cycled through some other MegaDrive games and used recycled art from their games and put it together. Here is something I am working on (early work-in-progress):
Comments/criticism as usual are welcome.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 02:44 PM
Also the new art looks nice, a lot more fitting.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 02:48 PM
And the new level's art looks surprisingly Sonic.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 02:52 PM
Posted 07 May 2012 - 02:59 PM
Is that beach level from Puggsy?
Posted 07 May 2012 - 03:02 PM
And the advance art wouldn't be bad if it was scaled a bit and edited to look more genesis like.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 03:19 PM
Ravenfreak, on 07 May 2012 - 02:52 PM, said:
Thanks for your comment. I will wait to see what others do. I could make an option for people to pick which font they would like, but that would take more ROM space, and probably pointless =P
dsrb, on 07 May 2012 - 02:59 PM, said:
Some of it is, like the shells and anchor and clouds, but the sand was done by StephenUK, and some others are a bit from Advance. You're not the first to point out, "is that Puggsy?" =P
Dark Sonic, on 07 May 2012 - 03:02 PM, said:
Like said, I can't draw for shit. I can't edit art for shit too. Whenever I try my own art, it never turns out professional like.
Also, thanks for the comments on the new level. I will start putting in slops and curves soon, and add a bit more detail to the background too.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 03:29 PM
It doesn't matter if you think you suck at art; everything looks pretty top notch. If you wanna talk about bad art, I wouldn't really condone the bricks you used as the wall design.
Otherwise, the only thing I would suggest is to not use the italic Sonic 2 HUD, but instead use the straight one as in Sonic 1 / 3K. Just a suggestion though. Otherwise, I'm loving how this looks.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 03:31 PM
Posted 07 May 2012 - 05:07 PM
Why not look at doing something 'comic'-like without using Comic Sans.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 05:34 PM
Knucklez, on 07 May 2012 - 03:29 PM, said:
I keep meaning to change the numbers of the HUD, but something new keeps popping into my head and I get on with that instead =P
dsrb, on 07 May 2012 - 03:31 PM, said:
That's not what other members have been telling me =P
Flare, on 07 May 2012 - 05:07 PM, said:
I don't know why, but as soon as I saw that edited font of yours, "Only Fools and Horses" popped into my head. No idea why, I am strange =P
Posted 09 May 2012 - 05:17 PM
1) My new boss. I did it myself (my girlfriend brother help draw Eggman's pod, but except that, I did the rest of the coding and etc). You have to hit the red balls to turn them into yellow, then if they hit the boss, he gets hurt. The red balls and spike balls do not affect Eggman. Run into any ball and it will hurt you, hit he spikeball, even when jumping, it will hurt you. After 8 hits, pinch-mode is in effect. Things will start to get faster, and more balls will be shot at you. After another 8 hits, you defeated Eggman.
2) New DAC driver by ValleyBell. It can play DAC's and PCM's, even during gameplay. And that's why you hear Eggman's voice and the new act clear jingle!

Questions/comments/criticism are all welcome.
PS, Sorry for the SHIT quality of it. Eggman does flash properly in case you wanted to know =P

The first in a new series focussing on wildlife
Story of a sitting pig
I am now a retired pig farmer. I farmed and bred pigs for forty four years.
Some years ago, one of my sows stood on a piglet's foot and injured the piglet, so I took it up to the house where it could be looked after until its foot was mended. I also had a pet duck wandering around the garden. After a few weeks the pig and the duck became mates, and in the morning at breakfast time there would be the duck, the pig, the cat and the dog all eating their food at the same time.
Well, here is the real story. The duck had laid a batch of eggs, which I didn't know about. The piglet was now around two months old, and after all the animals had eaten their breakfast the piglet would disappear. This went on for around ten days, so one day I went round very quietly and followed the piglet.
The piglet was a bit smart too, because as I was following, it would stop, listen and look around to make sure that it wasn't followed. Eventually I saw to my amazement that the duck had laid twenty three eggs (not fertile). The duck was sitting on about three quarters of the eggs (and this is the amazing bonding between animals and the piglet was lying across the rest of the eggs.
It was staggering to watch the piglet step over the eggs. It seemed to know not to break any, which it didn't. It would very slowly and gently lie down on the eggs. This went on for ten days until the duck knew the eggs weren't any good.

Sew Much Fun
On January 9th, some of the girls in Girl Scout Troop 3148 and I took a sewing class instructed by Mrs. Laura McDonald. She taught us in a fun, three-hour class during which we made our own pillowcases. This was a very easy and fun class. From setting up the sewing machine to ironing out seams, this class was a blast!
The four of us learned how to measure our fabric and pin it before it was sewn. We enjoyed personalizing our pillowcases as well. We brought in our own fabric to use, and chose a decorative stitch to put on the band of the pillowcase. This class was definitely something I am looking forward to doing again. At our next class, we will be making tote bags, which sounds exciting! We definitely had an awesome learning experience.

From the daily archives: Sunday, April 23, 2017
In advance of Gov. John Kasich's hour-long appearance on CNN Monday to promote his new book about a divided America, the inconvenient truth the governor won't mention, and show host Andersen Cooper won't bring up, is the fact that Mr. Kasich has entered the 52 straight month of below average job creation.
The Ohio Department of Family and Jobs Services and the Bureau of Labor Statistics released March 2017 data on employment and unemployment in Ohio on Friday. The data isn't friendly to Gov. Kasich's claim of being a great job creator, according to Cleveland-based job cruncher George Zeller.
