According to Hammond, the necromorphs have transformed some of the crew
into these "poison pods" which are contaminating the air. I need to find
and destroy them.
Walk around the corner to the left and move into the next room.

The --GETTING TO THE LEVIATHAN-- database file will play as Isaac steps into
this area. Use the !!SAVE STATION!! in the middle of the room to save your

The --TRUST-- database file will be received as Isaac moves through the first
corridor. Open the next door.

The spray that moves out of the pipes in the next room can damage Isaac so time
your runs to step down the corridor as the pipes stop spraying - the middle
pipe does not spray, so Isaac will be safe in front of it.
The first room to
the right doesn't contain anything useful, the second room has an !!UPRGRADE
BENCH!! inside and the third room is locked. Open the --ITEM CONTAINERS-- on
the far left wall then take the lift up to the second floor catwalk in this

A Slasher will drop form the ceiling onto the catwalk at the top - it's nothing
a little Plasma Cutter to the appendages won't solve. Continue into the next
room on the other side.
== West Grow Chamber ==
This room can get pretty violent inside. Slashers and Lurkers will show up as
Isaac ventures further into the room.
The Slashers can really pile up in this
room and they dash frantically with extreme aggression when moving toward
Isaac. It is best to stay on the constant move and shoot their legs off while
fighting them to keep from getting surrounded. Use the Line Gun in this room
for the most part but switch to the Force Gun if the enemies start to pile up.
Don't worry about shooting the Lurkers with the Flamethrower, since there are
so many Slashers - try to shoot the Lurkers' appendages as they try to attack.
There are a few explosive canisters lying around that can be launched at groups
of Slasher but with their aggression it can be hard to aim right.
TIP: You can enter the Inner Greenhouse A room on the left side of this area
and blast the Slashers from the doorway as they try to enter. The Slashers
will start to enter the room from the vents on the ceiling and on the floor.
Be sure to shoot the pod to the side early if you do this since killing it will
replenish the oxygen on the room.
For item pickups, there are two --RANDOM AMMO-- pickups down the corridor to
the left when you first enter and there is an --ITEM CHEST-- and an --ITEM

side of this area. The left door to that room is the only one that is

Isaac will have to use his oxygen tank to breathe in this room because of the
contaminated air from the nearby pod. Find the POD (1/8) in the back of this
greenhouse (the bloated hunched creature) and stomp him to death or shoot it
twice with the Plasma Cutter to destroy it.
The contaminated air from around
the area will be sterilized as the room cleans the air and Isaac will be able
to breathe again. Remember to always shoot the pods in a contaminated room
first even if other enemies are around so you don't have to worry about oxygen.
Stomp the --ITEM BOX-- near the pod. A Dark Slasher will smash through a vent
in the back and attack in a few seconds - he'll follow Isaac into the outside
area if you happen to leave. A Lurker will appear outside of the greenhouse
while leaving. Enter the other greenhouse on the other side of this area.

Find the POD (2/8) inside and destroy it. There is some --RANDOM AMMO-- on the

When Isaac steps back outside, a Pregnant be staring at him from the corridor
ahead. Shoot at his top appendages as he runs and you'll be able to kill him
before he reaches Isaac. Find the elevator in the middle of this area. There
is a --LARGE MED PACK-- below the door that holds the containers for the
feeding system in the back of the elevator.
To get the large med pack, interact with the controls for the feeding system
near the elevator then shoot the feeding container with stasis as the door
opens and it moves out of the floor. Quickly run to the other side of the
elevator shaft and look down toward the feeding containers and find the Large
Med Pack then grapple it with kinesis and collect it! The door for the
containers in the floor must still be opened in order to collect the med pack.

Two Infectors will attack afterwards
but if you followed my advice then they
won't have any bodies to change into Dark Slashers, so take out a weapon and
punish them for their attempts at creating an army of necromorphs. Leave this
room then enter the room on the opposite side of the catwalk.
== Hallway to Refrigeration West ==
Turn to the right and open the --ITEM CHEST-- in this corridor then save your
game at the !!SAVE STATION!! to the left. Enter the next room.
[ ] Item Chest
Right when Isaac steps into the next hall, a new enemy will move toward him
from off to the right. This is the Exploder.
Aim for its glowing yellow arm
and shoot it a few times to make the arm explode along with it. Both the Pulse
Rifle and the Plasma Cutter work well for these enemies. Their other
appendages can be shot also but there is really no need to defeat them this
way. The yellow arm can also be cut off with a shot to where it will fall to
the floor - this can be useful for when you fight these in groups with other
enemies. Isaac can actually grapple the arm with kinesis and shoot it much
like an explosive canister.
More Exploders will appear in the room, so don't move forward that much until
they stop coming - you have to move forward a bit to make some of the later
Exploders attack though. These enemies look so easy, don't they? Haha, wait
until they start showing up with other enemies then come back at me with your
answer to that question. The Exploders attack by slapping Isaac with their
glowing appendages to create an explosion that will kill them and damage Isaac
pretty badly, so just imagine fighting them in an intense group of Slashers,
Stingers or Lurkers. Shooting off their leg and right arm to stop them will
become important later mainly for when they get too close to Isaac. They use
both their right leg and right arm to support them while they move, so both
have to be shot off in order to stop them.
Run to the other end and step into the next room.
== Refrigeration West ==
There is a stasis recharger to the right and two --ITEM LOCKERS-- directly
ahead. The area surrounded in mist up ahead is without gravity. Step inside
the zero gravity area and grapple the --ITEM BOX-- suspended in the air then
pull it down and break it.
[ ] Item Locker[ ] Item Locker[ ] Item Box
Look up at the ceiling. The spikes in any of the zero gravity area cannot kill
Isaac since he can't jump into them so don't ever worry about them. Find the
ceiling door with the glowing kinesis symbol then grapple it and pull it to the
side to open it.
Don't jump toward it just yet - take out the Flamethrower and
use flame bursts to heat up the Lurkers that move through the doorway.
Jump through the doorway on the ceiling. Look around the next room and find
the next door with a glowing kinesis symbol on it.
Grapple the door then move
it to the side in order to open it then leap through it.
A single Lurker will attack in the next portion of the room, so flame him with
long range flame bursts.
Find the alcove with the explosive canister on the
wall then jump into the alcove. If you can't line up perfectly with it then
jump to the wall below it and run up the wall toward it since the area is
sloped - like you're running uphill. Enter the next room through the door and
open the next door in the hall ahead.
== Air Filtration Room ==
Isaac will enter an air filtration room with flames shooting below him.
is an --ITEM CHEST-- off to the right as Isaac enters. Move up the stairs to
the left and pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- on the catwalk. Walk to the elevator
on the right side of the room and pick up the --CROSS REPORT 2-- database file
along the way. Take the elevator to the bottom floor.
[ ] Item Chest[ ] Random Ammo[ ] --"Cross Report 2" database file--
There is a stasis recharger on the wall near some explosive canisters and some
--RANDOM AMMO-- lying among the explosive canisters. Be sure to recharge your
stasis before you enter the area ahead.
Punch the purple fuse box to the right of the door along the right side of the
wall to open the door that leads to the room with the first flame.
Yeah, you
have to run through all these flames, but it's not as bad as you think. The
fuse box for the next door across from the current door can be seen. I'd shoot
the next fuse box if I were you, so you don't have to wait for it to open. If
you look through the closing metal blinds on the wall directly across from the
first door, you can see the third fuse box as well, so shoot it. Now all of
the doors in the flame rooms are open except for the fourth door.
Speaking of the metal blinds, watch them for a few seconds and notice how they
close seconds before the flames shoot. You can watch these to tell when a
flame is about to shoot from the wall to the right. In order to get through
this area easily, look toward the wall where the flame shoots from then shoot
the wall with stasis and this will slow down the flaming process big time.
Peak into each room and shoot the flaming mechanism then run to the next flame
room and do the same thing until Isaac reaches the other side. There are only
three flame rooms.
You'll have to hit the fuse box in the third flame room to open the final door.
A Slasher will attack directly after the door is open, so have a Pulse Rifle
ready to tear right through him, or just shoot his legs with the Plasma Cutter.
Enter the room and blast the POD (4/8) to the left.
Find the elevator on the
right side of the area and take it up to the top floor.

Now you're back in the West Grow Chamber. Two Lurkers and a Pregnant will

shooting the Pregnant in order to hit his top appendages. If you hit his chest
then just shoot a force grenade to get rid of the Spiders. Wait for the
Lurkers to show their appendages and then shoot them from up close with a Force

until he starts to yell in pain during his dying animation. You have to be
quick or he will start shooting many pods in front of him. He will likely
shoot a few pods, but hammer him down with grenades and he won't last long.
You can shoot him with stasis to keep him from shooting pods when Isaac first
enters the room if you want.

Boss: Leviathan
Recommended Weapons:
Plasma Cutter
Pulse Rifle
Contact Beam
Leviathan looks rather intimidating at first glance since he basically comprises the entire back portion of the wall but he shall feel Isaac's wrath
just like all his other necromorph squad. This boss fight takes place in zero
gravity and the room is circular so there is no limit to where Isaac can move
when he moves sideways.
The Leviathan has three tentacles that it will stretch out and attack with. It
only has one attack with the tentacle and it will always give off a sign before
it attacks. Whenever the bottom tentacle faces pward and begins to shake,
this is a sign that he is about to perform a ground smash. Simply run to
either side whenever you see the tentacle shake and this will be avoided - it's
best to already be running before the tentacle prepares to attack or you might
get hit sometimes. Make sure to keep running until the tentacle retracts or it
can hit Isaac while it rises. You can also perform a zero-g jump to any
section of the area as the tentacle shakes to get away from the attack as well,
but running is much easier. It is best to completely circle the room by
running sideways throughout this battle except for when you have to attack of
When the tentacle retracts from attacking, a glowing yellow section of the
tentacle will appear. Wait for the tentacle to move back toward the wall and
it will stick in place to where the yellow portion can be easily shot. Shoot
the yellow portion of the tentacle with either the Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle
or Contact Beam to cut off the tentacle. The Leviathan will begin to attack
with its other tentacles after the first one is cut off. It will use the same
attack with each tentacle once again so dodge the ground smash then shoot off
the rest of the tentacles. The attacking tentacle will always move to the
bottom middle portion of the wall.
Once all tentacles have been removed the Leviathan will open up its middle
mouth and begin to fire out acid pods. The pods will explode upon contact and
knock Isaac down. Wait for each pod to shoot from his mouth then aim at the
pod and grapple it with kinesis then wait for the next pod to fire and fire the
current pod back at the Leviathan to destroy the next pod. It will fire out a
total of five pods per projectile attack, so if you can grapple the first and
third pod then shoot them back then you can grapple the fifth pod and fire it
back at the Leviathan's weak spot.
The Leviathan will reveal its weak spot showcased as a yellow section in the
back of its mouth right after shooting the fifth pod, so hold the fifth pod in
place and aim for the Leviathan's weak spot inside of its mouth then fire the
pod at it. If you miss with the pod then quickly shoot the yellow portion of
its mouth with weapon fire - you only have a brief second to do so. Manage to
hit it with a charged Contact Beam primary fire and this will severely hurt the
It will play a game of "catch the acid pod" with Isaac a few times, depending
on how you damage it, then it will regrow its tentacles. Once the tentacles
have regrown, it will go back to the same basic tentacle attacks, but it will
sometimes shoot a set of acid pods instead. Watch for either a tentacle to
shake or the mouth to open to know which attack it is about to perform. This
part can get slightly tense at times but watch the Leviathan carefully and
you'll be able to react to its attacks. Shoot off the tentacles like you
normally would after each of its tentacle attacks and this will cause it to
eventually shoot pods again.
The main hard part about this fight is sustaining enough ammo to fight off the
tentacles and damage the Leviathan. Try not to waste ammo. If you are a good
shot with the Contact Beam or shooting its pods back at it's weak spot then
that by itself will help out tons since both methods are so damaging. There
are explosive canisters floating around this room that can help out for the
tentacles (grapple with kinesis then toss) but these don't help that much with
shooting the mouth, unless you're really quick. The acid pods can easily get
the best of Isaac once one of them hits him since the Leviathan will continue
to shoot them even while Isaac is getting up. Remember that you can shoot the
pods and run to the side to avoid them. It's always best to grapple them if
possible however.
TIP: You don't actually have to shoot the tentacles off of the Leviathan when
it reforms them. You could dodge the tentacles and wait for the Leviathan to
shoot acid pods. The only bad part about doing this is that the acid pods
might accidentally explode on the Leviathan's tentacles and mess up your
kinesis grapple timing.

Finally, the ship seems stable. I've bought us some time, hopefully enough
to find the SOS Beacon. But even if we send out a distress signal, is
anyone close enough to this system to hear it...?
Well, we certainly got to the ROOT of that problem as Mr. Redfield might say.
Yuck, yuck, yuck! Now, let us exit the room and get back to the tram. Before
you leave the Food Storage, be sure to look it over for any remaining items -
look for a flashing light to signify the items then simply grapple them with
kinesis and collect them.

Reenter the Atmosphere Control.
Be sure to stop by the Store and put some of your extra items in the safe.

GN entrepreneurs have come from across the globe to London Fashion Week, starting today, to show off their creations. The industry oozes exclusivity, appearing the preserve of the wealthy and connected. It begs the question of how difficult it is for somebody to set up and grow a business in this world. Do creative geniuses have enough business know-how? Coutts doesn't seem to think so. Last week the luxury bank unveiled a dress at its headquarters to promote business expertise for designers (see picture).
The dress, made from sustainable-sourced paper, was created by Louise Goldin. Echoing the style of items from Goldin's spring-summer 2010 collection, its dramatic pleats and intricate folds took hours of design and careful cutting, pasting and gluing. She is the winner of the Fashion Forward Award that Coutts have sponsored to raise awareness of the equal importance of business planning as well as creativity to ensure success in the fashion industry. Award winners receive business mentoring from the bank as a prize.
Andrew Haigh, head of entrepreneurs at Coutts, says that: "Our clients typically have a stake in a business worth a minimum of £5m." By sponsoring this award, Coutts is doing its bit to help smaller businesses get off the ground.
Rachel Galley, a winner of a similar Coutts jewellery award last year says she found the
mentoring helped her sharpen her business acumen: "It helped me think about the long-term goals of my business, making me think about business from a non-design perspective." Galley's business turnover has subsequently doubled; she jokes that it might grow enough for her to qualify to bank with Coutts in the next few years.
Networking is another advantage. Galley says she picked up commissions from Coutts
staff during her mentoring sessions. The exclusivity of this world is acknowledged by
Coutts' own chief executive, Michael Morely, who lists networking as an important feature of success. These awards and the angel investor schemes that the bank offers are one effort to remedy this.
Budding designers should not lose heart even if they don't win Coutts backing.

Megan + Michael | Malibu, CA/
I don't have words to describe Megan and Michael's wedding at Saddlerock Ranch last month. First of all, Saddlerock Ranch is easily my new favorite venue! I am in love with this place! The natural beauty of the environment is just out of this world. Canyons and vistas and....zebras!! Yes, a zebra makes a cameo in this video. They also have giraffes on the property which we saw from a distance. I loved how the entire wedding was outside with the most amazing views. But it was really Megan and Michael that made the day so special. These two are soul mates and have such a genuine and sweet connection. What a great group of family and friends they have. In all, the day was completely magical and I hope this video captures the magic!

Have you ever had those weeks where everything that could happen, happens. It's been a crazy few weeks. Fun, exciting, stressful weeks. Full of new opportunities, hikes, big wins, stressful situations, and home improvement. So I apologize deeply for being MIA for the last few weeks. I had a few minutes today so I figured that I would take this opportunity to post a recipe, rather that waiting for my usual Friday post.
I made this one a few weeks back, and was blown away by the amount of flavour in it! I honestly can't wait to try it again. By now you may have noticed my obsession with Zuchinni Noodles. This recipe just heightened it. I altered the recipe just a little and tossed in extra veggies… because veggies make the world go round.
Check this one out (link below)! I hope you like it!

Here are more drawings from my Port Washington series. I spent a lot of time with friends exploring the neighborhoods and town of Port Washington. On most weekends and summer vacations, we were left to our own devices without parental supervision. On motocross bikes, we spent countless hours wandering and roaming to places where kids are shunned today by rules and regulations. Disclaimers, closed-circuit cameras, and security fences abound.
The drawings I feature are not necessarily historic or of cultural importance to Port Washington, but they hold my memories of a seventies childhood.

The Ideal Form
The Ideal Form is the latest manifestation of an ongoing body of work by Antwerp-based artist Paul Hendrikse. As with Hendrikse's related installations, performances and printed works, the book considers the complex legacy of Lode Craeybeckx, the mayor of Antwerp between 1946 and 1976 and one of the main instigators of the city's renowned Middelheim sculpture park. By sampling the Middelheim's collection, Hendrikse charts the intricate relations between modernist form, the politics of postwar reconstruction and the performances involved in collecting, displaying and looking at public sculpture.Published in collaboration with Objectif Exhibitions and the Middelheim Museum.

Andy Reid known league-wide as an offensive mastermind.
He might've outdone himself with his latest game-plan for the Houston Texans in Week 1. It's perfect for rendering J.J. Watt absolutely useless.
Jamaal Charles (and his fantasy owners) can get behind a plan like that.
More from FoxSports
Obviously, Reid is kidding. He obviously accounted for Watt when he formulated the plan of attack, but the head coach won't back down from a challenge just because the other team's player is good.

The UO's Museum of Natural and Cultural History will present its 24th annual Fall Archaeology Talks this month. Part of the statewide Oregon Archaeology Celebration held in October, the 2017 series will focus on Native American scholarship and practice in cultural and museum studies.
The series kicks off Friday, Oct. 13, with a talk by anthropologist Jason Younker, UO assistant vice president and advisor to the president on sovereignty and government-to-government relations. The talk, "Potlatch and The Southwest Oregon Research Project," will tell the story of four Coquille Tribal members who in 1995 uncovered a trove of records of Coquille history, language and culture archived in Washington, D.C.
"What happened next changed Oregon's history," said Younker, a Coquille tribal member who will discuss the project's implications for Oregon Native American empowerment.
On Oct. 20, anthropologist, curator and activist Deana Dartt, a Chumash tribal member, will present "Indigenizing Curatorial Practice." Formerly the curator of Native American art at the Portland Art Museum, Dartt will explore the ways that American cultural museums reproduce historic European-American narratives.
The talk will examine strategies for interrupting those narratives and applying native peoples' perspectives across every facet of the museum.
"This year's talks have a more contemporary focus than in years past," said archaeologist Lauren Willis, who organized the series. "The speakers will explore themes of social justice and Native American empowerment while bringing traditional and indigenous practices to the forefront of curatorial conversations."
Both talks will take place at the museum, 1680 E. 15th Ave., at 5:30 p.m. The talks are free and open to the public.

It doesn't seem like there's anything UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey can't do these days, so becoming a superhero probably wouldn't surprise anyone.
Rousey is already the most dominant fighter on the planet, not to mention growing her fame in Hollywood with several film roles already under her belt and more being added over the next year.
One of those projects is starring in a biopic based on her own autobiography titled "My Fight/Your Fight," in which Rousey will play herself in the big screen version of her rise to fame from Olympic judo bronze medalist to UFC champion.
More from FoxSports
Rousey wouldn't mind turning her attention to an even bigger project if the powers-that-be at Marvel wanted to give her a look in the near future.
During a question-and-answer session on Reddit on Monday, Rousey was asked about her interest in playing a character from the Marvel or DC Universe on screen. While she acknowledged that a lot of the major roles already have been cast, there's one in particular she has her eye on if Marvel is interested.
"Well, a lot of the good ones have been taken, but I'd like to vie for Ms. Marvel," Rousey revealed.
That would be in the upcoming film "Captain Marvel" from Marvel and Disney, which will focus on a character named Carol Danvers, who was once known as Ms. Marvel before transforming into the superhero known as Captain Marvel.
It will be the first female-led superhero film from Marvel with a scheduled release date of July 6, 2018.
"This film has been in the works almost as long as 'Doctor Strange' or 'Guardians of the Galaxy' before it came out," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said, "and one of the key things was figuring out what we wanted to do with it. Her adventures are very earthbound, but her powers are based in the cosmic realm."
Considering the kind of star power and attention Rousey has been receiving lately, attaching her to a movie such as this could be a huge coup for Marvel. She just might need to ramp up the acting lessons.
"Captain Marvel" is being written by Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman, with several notable names in the running to direct, including Angelina Jolie -- one of Rousey's favorite action stars, she revealed in a 2014 interview.

Even a Chicken Can Get Lasik SurgeryIf you put in the time to read any one of the message boards or chat rooms on the Internet concerning Lasik surgical treatment, you will ask yourself just how anyone can obtain the guts to schedule a Lasik treatment, and also why in the world they would certainly desire it. The numerous Lasik clinics audio anywhere from impersonal to something much like Dr. Monster's laboratory, and the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, surreal. It appears like the only people that would certainly get Lasik are those with such negative vision that they can not get out of bed without their glasses on.
Well, allow me give you my tale of just how I chose Lasik. For me, Lasik was not required, but I figured would simplify my life. For these factors, Lasik looked very appealing.
OK, practically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel yet instead a "microkeratome blade", but it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as part of the Lasik procedure. Nowadays Lasik medical professionals can get a laser to reduce the flap in the eye, which is extra than a little better than a sharp blade.
After talking with 3 (yes, three!) independent Lasik physicians, they each ensured me that a 28 year old individual in almost best wellness (OK, I exaggerate a bit) with modest nearsightedness was one of the best prospects read this post here for a successful Lasik treatment. I determined to schedule my Lasik procedure with the one that had the most effective record, as well as coincidentally took one of the most time to describe everything regarding Lasik to me.
The only odd thing I remember concerning the Lasik treatment itself was an odor, something slightly like hair burning. I am kind of grateful they really did not tell me to expect that before the Lasik treatment, I am not certain I would have gone in.
After a couple of years, I presume I was a nearly best Lasik client, as my eyes currently have 20/20 vision and have actually remained secure long after the Lasik operation. I claim that if you are a good candidate for a Lasik vision improvement treatment, get that teddy bear and also go on in.
If you take the time to check out any of the message boards or chat areas on the Web about Lasik surgical treatment, you will certainly wonder exactly how anyone could get the nerve to arrange a Lasik procedure, and also why on earth they would certainly want it. The numerous Lasik facilities have a peek at this website sound anywhere from impersonal to something comparable to Dr. Frankenstein's lab, as well as the Lasik procedure itself seems, well, surreal. OK, technically Lasik does NOT use a scalpel however rather a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp item approaching my eye as part of the Lasik treatment. I determined to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the best track record, as well as together took the most time to clarify everything about Lasik to me.

I have a few essential beauty tools I use everyday. The Sephora double loop extraction tool is the bottom tool in this picture. It's for extracting white and black heads and is made of stainless steel. I've have this one for maybe 8 years or so. It was a great investment as it has lasted forever. It's just starting to show a few little grey tarnished areas on the edges. I keep it in my bathroom and I'm sure the humidity for years has done it. I don't remember the cost, Sephora has a similar one for $17 online currently. Tweezerman makes one similar, as do other brands. I use the flat end the most as it's less painful than the round end. The round end does work for black heads or white heads on occasion. The flat end works for shallow extracting, the round for deeper needs. If you have any occasional blemishes it's great, and much better than two fingers. I clean it with soap and water or rubbing alcohol on occasion.
The rest are all tools by Tweezerman who makes excellent products. Tweezerman also resharpens them for free for life, you just pay to send them back and pay the return postage. The nail clippers on the top left came in a set with toenail clippers as well. The set was $9 and it's stainless tell. I'm not a fan of the toenail ones as they are harder to control for me. The small ones are great, they're precise and sharp. I also recently found similar small nail clippers at Sally Beauty Supply for around $3. They are great as well, are stainless steel, and to the right. These Tweezerman ones are better than any Revlon, or other cheap clipper I've bought at Ulta. I will not go back to using any other brand of nail clipper now.
Top right is the Pointed Slanted Tweezerman Tweezers. I also have a pair of slanted flat tweezers but I much prefer the pointed version. The pointed tweezers are precise. You can get one hair at a time which is why they are my favorite. They retail for $25 and are stainless steel.
The middle left is the Tweezerman mini Cuticle Nippers. These came from the mini set of 3 tools called the Mini Nail Rescue Kit. I have tried the full size version of these and don't like them as well. The large ones are less precise and you can't get those small areas as well. These small ones are awesome. They clip cuticles with ease, are precise and almost sharper than the large ones. I keep one in my purse as well in the house. The set retails for $22 and it also has a mini nail file and cuticle pusher.
On the middle right is the mini Pushy and Nail Cleaner tool. This came from the same set mentioned above. I used to use the wooden sticks for this until I found this tool. This is a stainless steel cuticle pusher and is easier to use than wooden sticks. It's thinner and tougher, so it makes pushing those cuticles down so easy. I rarely use the round end. When I do, I scrape the nail bed near the cuticles with it to clean any extra cuticle off. Follow this tool with the cuticle nipper, then you're ready to paint your nails. The mini set was well worth it.

A lunch with friends. Conversation about farms and food, traveling and working, Broadway and the prairie. A delicious meal at DeStihl, complete with locally-sourced cheddar cheese curds, made by farmer friends at Ropp Jersey Cheese. A meal not soon to be forgotten because although the weather on the prairie blew wet and cold outside, the friendship around the table was warm, fanned by a deep love for agriculture and journalism that spans actual continents.
It all began with my trip to Sweden, as a member of the IFAJ Young Leaders in Ag Journalism Boot Camp. Anna Nilsson was our Swedish contact, and she put together a most excellent boot camp. Blond and petite, Anna led us through the streets and subways of Stockholm with her umbrella raised high: "Follow me!" And we did. Like a lot of Boot Campers, we all became rapid Facebook fans and Twitter followers. We came home and kept in touch.
When I was asked to tell our 4-H club about Sweden this winter, I fired off a quick message to Anna, who promptly supplied me with advice on throwing a "fika" and shared a handful of Swedish recipes - in U.S. measurements! Amen. And just like that, a group of Illinois 4-H kids listened, looked and even tasted a bit of Swedish culture. And I came to appreciate Anna's love for the traditions of her country even more.
Then Anna and her colleague at Landlantbruk, Camilla Olsson, secured a grant to come to the U.S. and study agricultural podcasting. Through an endless series of emails, we set up a visit for her at Illinois farms and radio stations, and best of all, we were able to meet for lunch one day in Bloomington. Kenna Rathai was able to come, too - all friends from the IFAJ Swedish Congress. We sat and visited and talked agriculture.
Anna and Camilla, as it turns out, are pioneers in Swedish ag broadcasting. They don't have the rich heritage of farm broadcasting like we do, so Anna and Camilla are creating podcasts ("poddresan") to share agricultural information and stories. They're also blogging this trip. We hooked them up with visits at the Illinois Farm Bureau RFD studios, plus a visit with the Larson/Martz farms near Maple Park. From Illinois, they were headed to Kansas (including a visit with the Peterson Farm Brothers), then to Iowa and finally back to New York City for a final few days.
"Everything is much bigger here in America," Anna observed. "The fields, machinery, the herd of livestock. It is impressive from a business point of view and very effective." She and Camilla rented a car after they arrived in Bloomington for their farm visits and one thing surprised them: the trucks. "The trucks!" she exclaimed, referring to the many semis on the interstate. "We don't have the trucks in Sweden! They are right there - right next to you!"
She noted further differences, particularly in livestock.
"The tails on pigs and sometimes cattle are cut off to prevent production losses, is something that is forbidden in Sweden. Also, we don't do hormone treatment and GM crops are not allowed to do or grow."
I was heartened – and a little surprised – to hear how friendly we are. "Everybody that we have met are very friendly to us and take time to explain and show us how things are run here," Anna says.
We talked a lot that day, too, about the Illinois Farm Families program and USFRA, and the two American farm documentaries that are coming out. Anna and Camilla were both impressed by the U.S. efforts to reach out to consumers, something I recall our South African colleague to have been interested in during our Boot Camp as well.
Anna's observation: "We feel that farmers are very proud of their production and that farmers have a high status here. The work of including the public and showing how the agriculture works is something that you are far ahead in the U.S. compared to Sweden and that is inspiring to us."

General Information
Differences between IDEA and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA)
There are a number of differences between IDEA provided in elementary and high school where a student may qualify for modifications and accommodations. These students may have received services above and beyond that were not offered to students without disabilities. At the university level, qualified students with disabilities are entitled to academic accommodations that eliminate barriers which would prevent a student from equal access to the learning environment under the ADAAA. Accommodations are intended to "level the playing field," not offer an academic advantage. In other words, the university is not required to lessen requirements or modify a class to the degree that it jeopardizes the academic integrity of a course.
Differences between Texas State, Community Colleges and other 4-Year Colleges and Universities
The method used to provide services for students with disabilities varies at every community college and 4-year private and public college in the country. For student's with a disability who are planning to attend and/or transfer to Texas State University (hereafter referred to as Texas State) which includes the Round Rock Campus (RRC), this guide is designed to familiarize them with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) including the philosophy of service provision, documentation requirements and services offered by the ODS.
Self Advocacy
Self advocacy is at the core of all services provided by the ODS office. Students with disabilities at Texas State are expected to be active participants in the accommodation process. Our philosophy is based on the foundation that self advocacy begins with a student knowing about and understanding their disability so they can express their needs to faculty members and others. Being a self advocate also means knowing your rights and responsibilities as it relates to your specific accommodations. A self advocate can also compromise when needed, in order to get the most out of a situation. As it relates to accommodations, this does not mean settling for something that is ineffective or does not meet your needs. A good self advocate also knows when and where to go for help.
Documentation Requirements at Texas State
Management of Services
Every student who qualifies for services from the ODS will be assigned an ODS Specialist who will serve as their primary point of contact for ODS services. The ODS Specialist will meet with each student to review their approved accommodations and the process necessary to receive each accommodation.
As a self advocate, every student is responsible for informing faculty members and other appropriate university personnel about their need for accommodations. Professional staff in the ODS will help facilitate access to accommodations through written and/or verbal communication with faculty and staff members.
How Accommodations are Determined
The ODS will, upon request, review disability documentation for the purpose of determining appropriate accommodations for any potential student or applicant for admission. Students with disabilities must meet the same admission requirements as other students.
Accommodations selected will be based on the documentation provided in accordance in the guidelines outlined above; a future student should not assume that the accommodations they received at their prior institution/high school will also be provided at Texas State. Within 30 days of the ODS receiving a student's disability documentation the information will be reviewed to determine accommodations. After accommodations are identified, the student will be contacted for an appointment with an ODS Specialist. Eligibility for the approved accommodations are not in effect until you meet with an ODS Specialist to discuss and review your approved accommodations.
Types of Accommodations and Services Provided
Specialized support services are based on the individual student's disability-based need. Services available include, but are not limited to:
- Special groups registration of classes
- Providing textbooks in alternate format including audio files
- Approval of accommodations for academic exams and quizzes
- Assistance in accessing adaptive computer equipment
- Liaison and advocacy between students, faculty and staff
- Disability management counseling
- Provision of sign language and oral interpreting services
- Information and referral to on and off-campus resources
- Provision of captioning (speech to text) services
The ODS maintains all disability documentation in a confidential file and will not release information to anyone outside the office without a student's written consent. The ODS professional staff may discuss, in general terms, a student's disability with a faculty or staff member as it relates to the student's accommodations. There is no record made of a student receiving services from the ODS on a student's academic transcript.
In addition to serving students with disabilities at Texas State, the ODS is also committed to meeting the needs of students with disabilities enrolled in classes at the Texas State Round Rock Campus (RRC). These services are coordinated by Autumn Guel, Student Development Specialist, in the One-Stop Center. The processes for accessing some services and accommodations at the RRC may differ from those described for the main campus.

John Ramsey is a fellow powwower and author of Pennsylvania German Powwow (I'm having trouble putting a link here but it is available on amazon) He sent this information to me to share here on this site. I'm fascinated by this info as it's more than I knew about the use of stones for powwowing. Enjoy!
Stones can be a powerful tool for the powwow to work with. Many times in the Bible, Christ is referred to as a rock; see Matthew 7:24. Many of the rocks that the braucher would use were not fancy like gemstones or crystals, but oftentimes were stones that he or she would find on there property.
If an individual was wanting to use rocks in there practice, often all they have to do is look for them. The Bible says seek and ye shall find and this definitely applies to using rocks in powow. Many times these stones are looking for you just as much as you are looking for them. Ask God for help when looking for these rocks and when you find the right one, thank God for His assistance. Once you find the right rock, tell it what its purpose going to be. Then simply use it. I believe the more you use it, the better is gets at fulfilling its intended purpose.
Rukschtee or Rest Stone- Used for pain relief or rest. Traditionally were found along fence rows or property borders, but can be found in other places as well. Used by placing under the pillow of someone needing rest or relief from pain. After each use, these need to be placed outdoors in water or put in smoke to "recharge". The one I have is white.
Blutschtee or Bloodstone- Used to stop bleeding. Blutschtees were held tightly on a profusely bleeding wounds. After many uses, these would become stained from the blood.
Thunderstone- Used to stop lightning strikes. The one that my dad has is an old Native American axe head. In times of old, farmers believed these fell from the sky during thunderstorms.
Madstone- Used to heal rabies. Most of the time, these were calcium deposits that hardened and formed in the stomachs of deer as well as other cud chewing animals. These rock like object were placed on the bites from rabid animals as well as snakebites. These would supposedly stick to the wound until all the poison was drawn out, then they would simply fall off. Difficult to obtain and often if somebody had one, people would come from all over to use it. Ones obtained from albino deer were believed to be more powerful.
Holey Stone- A stone with a naturally formed hole in it. Often found near water; rivers, creeks, lakes, etc. Used for protection and healing. Tie one to a bedpost to prevent nightmares. Can be kept in your pocket or worn around the neck with a red string. Some people believe that if you look through the hole, you can see the spirit world.
Black Stone- Remove negative energy. I don't know much about the history of these.
Honorable Mention
Lodestone- A natural stone that has a magnetic pull. Not usually used in Pow-Wow, but there use is not unheard of. Mostly used in African American spiritual practice. Since they have a magnetic pull, they are used to draw something to you.

The Mortgage Meltdown - The Beginning Part One
Mortgage - CRA Loans
It has been what, three-four years since the Mortgage Meltdown began and no, the mortgage mess did not cause (ALL) of the recession, per Mr. Greenspan and quoted on television. I do know that the Mortgage Meltdown is very highly associated with the recession; it had to be, with so many people getting delinquent on their mortgage loans. I was an Mortgage Loan Underwriter long before the Subprime loan so I know what Fannie and Freddie guidelines were prior to want a piece of the profitable pie.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did not cause the meltdown and that is what so many people do not understand. Yes, they went under but they did not always buy the loans made by the Bank which were less than perfect credit. They were fine until they started investing later in the 2000s in some of the non-conforming loans (subprime loans). It was the less than perfect credit loans which did not meet the minimum standards for lending money which is the largest investment most people make in their lifetimes. When you start to think about lending hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who can barely survive from pay check to pay check, anyone with any ability to reason at all should have know what was to follow.
CRA did not cause the Mortgage Meltdown either. Yes, the government did regulate the Banks to make CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) loan with regulations in 1977 which implemented that so many of the Bank's loans, a small percentage should be made to certain neighborhoods with restrictions less than a normal loan guidelines. Yes, the Government allowed these less than perfect credit loans but the Banks did not go under because of these CRA loans. These loans were not overly assessable to borrowers and never did they overuse their ability to make these loans. You can read Community Reinvestment Act which is an articles which explains this in more detail.
The Banks had a mortgage department ("A" paper loans in the beginning) and they did not began to make the less than perfect loans which were nothing more than Subprime loans, until they had a place to sell them. Some of these could be sold to Fannie and Freddie (later in the process, not when these loans first started being made) and some to other Investors. Some banks held loans in the portfolio and serviced the loans, but generally the loans were sold to Investors who would service the loans and the Banks used the money to make more loans. Some Banks still hold some of their loans when they make a loan to a preferred customer who did not meet all of the guidelines because of their banking relationship.
Fannie and Freddie had a program for years, which met the CRA rule, before they started investing in the loans which presented more risk. The loans were called Community Homebuyer Programs. The loans were not "BAD" loans, they were loans which would allow for 97% loan to values in the beginning and the three (3) % downpayment could be gifted from a relative. It did not allow for "bad" credit. Those loans did have ways to make lending more available to those who could not afford 5% + downpayment from their own funds.
Loans and more loans
Subprime in a Nutshell
The Subprime Lenders started in the 90's, I remember it so well. I worked very briefly, at that time for a Broker who was making these loans to people (they could only have so many delinquent credit lines on their credit report and they were graded) with dangerously unsafe credit practices. Believe it or not, there were Mortgage Companies who were lighting up everyday to be able to make and sell these kinds of loan because they brought so much profit. Yes and Congress allowed all of this to happen. I left after a short time. It was a different ballgame for me because I had been accustomed to the "A" paper loans only. Strictly Fannie and Freddie who did not allow "Bad" credit loans. These loans at the early part of Subprime were identified as "B" "C" paper loans.
Some Subprime Lenders were Banks, some where called Correspondents who were approved through a Bank to make loans for them and then the Broker who did not lend the money but became the go between for the borrower and the bank. Everybody was making money. Yes, later in the process of all these loans, everybody got involved in making loans which were less than perfect.
The Subprime Market kept growing at the pace of apples on a tree during the 2000's because everyone wanted to make the money from the pools of loans which carried a 10% + interest rate. That is why more and more; Fannie Mae and Freddie started accepting less than perfect loans and lower the underwriting guidelines to make up some of the pools of loans.
This was why AIG and Lehman Brothers plus some others, went down or almost did. AIG and Lehman Brothers had invested in their brokerage department, pools of these high interest rate loans (Residential Mortgage Backed Securities) so therefore when the borrower's began to default on these higher interest rate loans…their pools would collapse and not bring as much money and they became overloaded with defaulted loans. All Investment Brokers that bought and sold these mortgage pools were touched by the defaulted loans and Wall Street was of course involved in the trading of all of the pools and this was the icing on the cake from them also.
The making of a Subprime loan….NOT - Fannie and Freddie guidelines
Guidelines included but not limited to: 550 + credit scores, 55 % debt to income ratios and 100% financing. The Seller paid all of the closing cost which was added into the sale price over and above the Real Estate Commission which was already added in. No funds for closing out of their own pocket. No reserves, meaning they did not have their first month's payment which would only be one month away, saved.
Some loans were made with an 80% first mortgage and a 20% second mortgage. The second mortgage sometimes had a rate of 12 to 14%.
The credit for most of these loans was usually very below standard. They could have collections accounts up to $5000 which did not have to be paid off. Sometimes certain judgments did not have to be paid. Anyone knows that if you have a judgment which is files before your title; it must be paid to perfect the title to the property. If it had not been filed, there were times these judgments were not paid. They could become a lien at any time.
The Equity Loans
A lot of the problem with the second mortgage loans were that after closing some borrower's needed to refinance their first mortgage to add in the second mortgage so that their interest rate and monthly payments would be less. This worked okay until the values started to decline. Once the values started declining; they could not refinance the first and the second to get one payment. Sometimes, credit account were paid off with the second mortgag loans to qualify. This is never really a good step from an underwriter point of view. It is making the interest on the paid off loans for 30 years and sometimes 40 when the term was raised at one point.
This was only another mistake which caused has caused a lot of problems.

Businesses that are continually looking to improve their corporate social responsibility understand that there are endless ways in which this can be done.
From large-scale changes to business strategies that improve the working lives of staff, to placing recycling facilities around the workplace or making the switch to environmentally-friendly cleaning products, there is no limit to the opportunities for businesses to 'do their part' and put social good at the heart of their operations.
Becoming a more socially and environmentally conscious company has never been easier, too. However, thanks to not-for-profit social enterprises such as CLARITY and The Soap Co., showing your commitment to being an ethical business can begin in an area of your business that you may not expect: your washrooms.
Could ethical toiletries help you to 'scrub up' on your corporate social responsibility?
CLARITY and The Soap Co. offer a range of soaps, lotions and cleaning products to organisations of all shapes and sizes, but with one key difference. As you'll discover in the video below, their mission is to support people with a wide range of disabilities, and they currently have over 100 staff, of which 80% are blind, disabled, or otherwise disadvantaged.
Founded in 1854 to initially provide an income for people with visual impairment, CLARITY and The Soap Co. are now the UK's oldest social enterprise. They do not just offer financially rewarding employment; employees also improve their confidence, independence, and their sense of personal wellbeing.
It is interesting to note that CLARITY and The Soap Co. also take a unique approach to their own employment, in that their success is not measured by their profits, but by the number of days of employment that they create. In 2016, this exceeded 10,000 days, and you can help this number to continue growing year-on-year simply by switching your soap for social good.
Ethical toiletries for every type of washroom
In the range of washroom and kitchen products from CLARITY and The Soap Co., there are toiletries and cleaning products to suit every type of business.
The CLARITY collection includes best-selling everyday washroom essentials such as beautifully fragranced antibacterial hand washes and hand sanitisers, plus washing up liquid so you can can bring your commitment to using ethical toiletries and cleaning products into your kitchen too.
For customers looking for a premium skincare product without compromising on their ethical approach, The Soap Co. collection features contemporary black and white bottles with luxury formulas that are perfect for executive or client washrooms. In The Soap Co. range, you'll find premium liquid handwash and complimentary hand lotion, available in 300ml pump bottles as well as 2 litre bulk fill bottles – which each create more than 2 hours of direct employment!
Major hotel chains, restaurants, law firms and large corporations have already introduced The Soap Co. products into their washrooms, and as the products are made with natural ingredients and now hold The Planet MarkTM they help to reduce your businesses' environmental footprint. What's more, as The Soap Co.'s award-winning packaging design features braille labels, making the switch to these products is yet another way to improve accessibility and inclusivity in your washrooms for all users.
CLARITY and The Soap Co. will soon be joined by an additional brand, CLARITYeco, a range of eco-foaming hand washes to offer you yet more choice in environmentally-friendly cleaning products – with a very human impact too.
If you're interested to find out more about how your business can become more socially and environmentally conscious, why not take a look at our blog post 'Easy Steps to Creating a 'Greener' Workplace', or discover the benefits of using biological cleaning products.
