Hello readers. This is my first guide, so bare with me. Alone in the dark is
an amazing game. It might be my favorite one on the 360 to be honest. I hope
this guide can help you to stop having a few headaches and just enjoy the game.
Also I am trying to be as spoiler free as I can. However there are no promises.
You can us the Ctrl+F to skip to where you need. As put in the table of
contents. Example Wake up is (1.1), so search for that to jump there.
Welcome to the opening of Alone in the Dark. There is not much to say for this
part. It is really linear, just follow the prompts until you have control of
the character. Then follow the still linear path.
Welcome to 3rd person view, go ahead and notice the graphics still look good
even in a new view. Follow the path and get on top of the elevator that has
come up, and that will active a cutscene. After the scene go ahead and follow
the path to the ladder and climb up. Go along the path over to the water hose
and toss it down to make a rope you can climb. Climb down and avoid objects.
You can jump over the fan and then the next moving fan. Eventually you will
make it down to a fence that a cable is electicuting. You need to move from
side to side and push the cable over behind the rock that is sticking out of
the wall. Continue all the way down the water hose, to the man that talks to
you. One of the cracks show up. Climb back up to the new door and jump out.
Turn left and go down the hall... OMG FIRE! Okay then let's go down the other
path... OMG more FIRE! Alright, let's go back the other way, oh there's a
door, well let's go through that then. There is a girl there, and she wants
you to help her and the man trapped in another room. Go through the open
doorway behind the girl and walk forward. There is a table blocking the path,
so grab it and pull it away. Go and head down the new way. In the corner of
the room is a fire extinguisher. Pick it up and go into first person to put
out the fire. Enter the room with the man. He tells you that he is hurt and
can not open the door. Use the extinguisher to bash the door open. Walk on
through and put out the new fire on the door. Go down the hall and take a
right and put on that fire. Jump over the hole in the floor. Turn quickly and
go into first person to see the fate of the two other people. After that go
and walk up to the cop and grab his gun. Use the gun to shoot the lock of the
door opposite of the cop. Go through the door. *Cutscene* Not much else you
can do other than go through the door. To the left, right from when you enter
is a cabinet. In side it is a health spray, tape, and a box of batteries. All
you can do now is heal so do that and a cutscene takes place. Go towards the
new hole in the wall. Oops, that was not a good idea. Okay back to the other
room. Wait a bit and the floor above you caves in. Walk up into the new room
on the left side of the room. Oh crap! *cutscene*
So it has come to this, falling quickly to an impending doom. Luckily, there is
a cable so let's go ahead and grab that with a quick A button press. Okay that
problem is fixed. Now climb the cable to the ledge where the man is standing.
Jump onto the ledge and follow him. And with some bad luck now you appear to
be hanging on the ledge by the skin of your teeth. Shimmy across to the other
side, be careful of the flying car from the explosion far beneath you. On the
other side, climb up, and then jump up to the ledge above you. Cross to the
other side, using the gargoyles to dodge falling debris. On the other side is a
cable, grab it and jump with the X button to unhook the cable from the wall.
Swing over and jump onto the new ledge. Jump up and grad the crack and shimmy
across. Aw crap, the wall starts to fall off. Watch out for the explosion and
then shimmy on over quickly and drop onto the balcony. Go through the open
doorway and we find the game's first puzzle. Drop down into the area below, and
grab the fire extinguisher. Place it on the platform with the rope attachment.
Climb back up and jump for the rope. This will make the extinguisher land on
the platform across from the fire. (Note: sometimes the extinguisher misses,
just go and replace it and do it again.) When you have the extinguisher in the
upper area, grab it and go back to put out the fire. Climb up the near area,
take a left, and then go out of the door. A cable! You know what to do.
Climb on up. The cable starts to tear away from the wall. Don't fret to much,
just keep on climbing. When you reach the balcony, jump onto it.
In this new room grab the trash can and bash the door open. Walk out into the
area beyond the door until the floor caves in beneath you. (Edward must feel
pretty fat seeing how his weight caves everything in) *Cutscene* Well that
sucks that she's gone. Anyways, push the table over to the area where the floor
fell down. Climb on top of the table, and then jump up and pull yourself up. To
your left is a ledge, jump on it and shimmy on over down towards the child's
room. Walk through the room to the other side, walk out to the fuse box and
press A to turn off the cable and make it safe to cross. Jump down (you will
jump over the fire, no worries) and go forward.*Cutscene* Walk over to the hole
in the wall and jump out, its the only way out of the building. You didn't
really do that did you? You do everything your told? Something to think about.
Okay lets be serious now. Grab a chair and light it on fire. Now you have a
torch to light your way down the winding path in front of you. (Note:
The fire does not last forever. Once the fire would burn you, Edward tosses the
chair away. So do not dilly dally across the winding path.) At the end of the
path, jump across the gap to the security guard.*Cutscene* Now is an excellent
time to save, so go ahead and do that. Then continue or quit, my guide will
be here when you need it.
Now it is time for the game's very first fight. There are various items lying
around. On the left most side of the room is a sword. I normally pick up that
one. Now lock on and swing like you mean it! After several hits, the game
prompts that you can only kill baddies via fire. You now have two choices.
You can drag her body into the fires that are all around, or pick up a wooden
object and set it on fire. With the second choice go ahead and touch the body
with the a flame. Climb up the cable back to the area you were in in the
cutscene before. Walk forward and a flaming penduim of death now stands in your
way. Time your jump and get across. Drop down into the hole in the floor.
Grab the extinguisher, and bash the door open. Do not try to put out the
flames, cause that does no good. Just jump out the door you just opened up.
Peek outside the elevator door. *Cutscene* Well that was lovely. Okay, go back
to Sarah and lift her up out of the elevator then jump out yourself. Go to the
other elevator and drop inside. The door is open so you can continue onward.
Once you are out the door, pick up the flashlight on the ground. Also near the
guard on the floor is an ammo box, so ahead and pick that up. To the right from
the elevator is a small room, with stairs leading to a fire. We will deal with
the fire later. At the bottom of the stairs is a cabinet with an explosive
plastic bottle, and two glow sticks. Now its time for combing stuff. Go into
your inventory and combine the explosive bottle with your gun to make flame
bullets. Go and kill the Ratz, they die in one to two shots, then walk down to
this other side at the end of the lobby near the burning doors on the right is
a fire extinguisher. Grab it and take it back to those stairs. Go up the
stairs and put out the fire to get a bug spray. Next go back and to the middle
of the lobby, Sarah should be standing in that area. On the right side is a
desk with a door behind it. Open the door and walk forward there is a fuse box.
Hot wire the box to turn the lights on. *Cutscene* Run over to the locker in
the room and open it to get batteries, ammo, and another bug spray. You can use
flame bullets to kill the Humanz that will attack you. Aim for the cracks in
his body. When that is done go to the door Sarah is near and you have two
choices. Shoot the keypad and hotwire it, or you can type in 943 and open the
door that way. Head down the stairs. *Cutscene* Great another guy that just
does not like you. Well teach him pain with a flame bullet. Once he's gone head
downstairs again. Put out the fire with the convient extinguisher. Go out the
door, walk a bit forwards and *cutscene*
Get into the car, either by shooting out the window are bashing it open with a
melee weapon. Get in and look in the sun visor for a key. Use that key to start
the car and floor it. Go straight and then turn left. Drive a bit more forward
and the floor caves in. Just drive around the collapsed floor and move forward.
Travel through the parking deck like a normal parking deck. When you reach the
caved in floor, floor it and jump over it. Keep on driving till you come to
some flames, go through them to get a *cutscene*
Now the car is totaled and leaking gas. Follow Sarah And Theo into the room
they go to. In there is a lighter and two boxes of batteries. Grab the lighter,
take it to your wrecked car and light the gas trail. This will blow a new path
open to you. Walk through it, there are several totaled cars, one of them has
an explosive bottle in the glove box. Walk out to the flaming area and light a
nearby chair. Take it over to the opposite side where there is a pile of wood
blocking your path. Set that wood on fire and *cutscene*. Awesome, the fissure
is back. You have a few things you can do now. Use the lighter and bug spray to
burn it, or you can run and up over it a lot and it will get bored with you
and go after a lady still in the building, or let it get you, and use the quick
action buttons to get loose and then it will go eat the lady in the building.
Well by now the planks are done and you can walk though. There is a lady on
the ground who spent her last minutes writing help in blood, but more
importantly near her is a medical spray. In the back left corner is yet another
medical spray. Grab these and heal up. (Note: odds are your pockets are full,
drop the glowsticks to pick up the health sprays) Walk over to the drivers side
of the taxi and you guessed it *cutscene* now get in the car and drive through
the gate, then turn right and get that gate.
Drive out of the garage and get a *cutscene*. Looks like the streets are not
much better than the building was. The game says step on it,and that seems like
a good idea. Hit the Gas! Get use to the music, odds are you are gonna hear it
a lot. This section is difficult but not impossible. Go straight, then left,
right, right. Jump and turn left. Stay on the right side of the road till the
cars pass you, and you get around a building that fell into the street. After
that get on the left side of the road and drive forward. There is a jump then
just stay left. Eventually a building crashes with a right high jump a
different car takes, but lets stay left. Half the road goes missing, thats okay
the left half is still there. A helicopter spot light rains down on a burning
car, dodge right and stay that way. The road will start spiltting, but if you
stay right, on what looks like a sidewalk there is no problem. Go straight and
there is a small roadway to the left, get on it and follow it dodging that cars
on the sides. At the end, turn hard right, and then left right after. Back on
the road, go right, follow that and when the bus blows up, turn right. Stay
right to dodge cars, then left to dodge more cars. Eventually you will find a
shopping mall, goa bit further than the car that drives into it, and turn right.
Drive full speed up the stairs and out the window. Follow that road to some
pipes that you will cross over, then straight on to a jump.*Cutscene*
Yay the chapters over, and you completed that first of three driving missions.
Go ahead and save, use the restroom, eat some food. Do whatever you like.
I am here when you want to start...
*Cutscene* Great, you have seven minutes to live. Walk under the bridge that
should be in clear site. Getting close to the other end causes a bus to fall
and block the roadway. Go back the way you came, walking towards Theo's body.
Sarah will see an ambulance. You ought to have around six minutes now. Go
help Sarah get up. Theo's phone will ring, go pick it up. *Cutscene* Use the
back button to bring up the phone and go to the phone icon. Dial 911 *Cutscene*
On the minimap you can see a glowing redish-orange dot. Follow the trail to the
dot. Run inside the bathroom. Go right and turn into the doorway on the left.
Go to the first aid kit on the wall and grab the bandage and health spray
inside. Go into healing mode and wrap up your wound with the bandage using the
A button.
In the locker in the same room is an explosive bottle, a hanky, and batteries.
Equip your gun and shoot down the cable by aiming for the hook over the
doorway. Now that you are not slowly dying you can look around in the bathroom.
Back in the corner near the door you entered from is ammo, explosives, tape,
and more batteries. Combine a hanky with an explosive bottle, and then put tape
on the new cocktail in your inventory. Equip the cocktail and your lighter.
Back near the room with the first aid kit is a broken wall. Light the cocktail
and throw it on the wall and back away. It will blow up after a short time and
blast a hole into the wall. Go out the new hole to escape the restroom.
*Cutscene* Alright jump on the cable and go into the first person as vampirez
will attack you. Pull out your gun with the right bumper and shoot them. When
they are gone, shoot the hooks holding the cable to get down.There is a body on
the ground. The vampirez will be attacted to the blood in the body. There is a
gas leak right near the bats. Equip the lighter and light the leak to burn them
to death. Grab the pipe, and break the glass. To hits will break it. Jump down
the new hole, and then the one in the new area. Do not jump down the last hole,
as it is a trap. Walk forward and you can see some vampirez, equip the gun and
shoot them dead. Jump across the gap and walk ahead. There is a bus hanging
above you, go to the other side to the open door and climb inside. Walking to
the other door causes the bus to rock. (once again Edward's feeling like a
fatty) Lucky for use there are three dead people above. Drag them to the back
of the bus and counter balance your weight. Climb back up to the other end and
get out of the bus. There is some ammo on the ground. Pick it up if you like.
Walk forward and hop down to the platform below. Get ready for a fight. There
are some melee objects on the ground. Some Humanz will attack you in different
waves. You can melee them off of the platform to get rid up them. Pick them
all off however you like. When they are defeated a new path will open. Go this
new route. There is a health spray on the ground. Pick it up and use it, as the
fight was likely to hurt you. Climb up on the ledge and shimmy across. The bus
should be in front of you now. The bus will fall, lucky you got off at the last
stop huh? Keep going across. Drop down on to the platform below you. If you
have flame bullets reload so that you no longer do. Now aim your gun up at the
door hanging above you. Shoot the lock off to open it. A rope and a body will
drop down. If you did not shoot it with flame bullets, then climb up. If you
are like me and shot with a flame bullet, wait till the fire goes out and then
climb up the rope. Oh! nearly forgot, there was an ammo box down there on the
floor. Okay at the top of the cable is a ledge. Grab the ledge above and go
shimmy across. A car hangs about you as you cross. Well that's okay cause the
parking brake is set... nevermind press A quickly to climb back up. Climb up on
the other side of the car. Open the door and get in. You can switch seats so
get to the drivers side. Check the glove box for health spray and ammo. Get out
on the driver's side door. The car will fall, but at least you now have a cable
you can climb up. At the top is the hole you need to go into. Inside is a hole
filled with water, and a ladder leading to the other side. The problem is the
fleshy sack blocking you from climbing the ladder. Get some flame bullets and
shoot the sack. The water holds a few nice things. Ammo, explosive bottles, and
of course a gold fish. Shoot the gold fish for an achievement. Grab what you
want and climb out now that you can go up the ladder.
Walk through the sewers, eventually the phone will ring (that's good reception
right there people) answer it to get a *cutscene*. Continue onward, and
eventually some wires will hit the water. Water + electricity = bad. Do not get
in the water. Jump over to the fuse box and hotwire it, to blow the power
out. You can now walk in the water. Go down the path. Wonderful more wires in
more water. Go on the side path on the right. Some ratz down a pathway
will attack you. There are explosives in the a water where they come at you
from. Shoot the ratz or shoot the explosives to kill the ratz, but you are
gonna need to go down that pathway. Down and on the left is another fuse box.
You have to be careful with this one, considering you are knee deep it water
and it is a box of electric wires. Hotwire it carefully and the wires short out
again. Go back up to the water way and walk down it towards the new area. Once
more there is water and its got a wire in it. Climb on the pipe to the right,
and shimmy down the length of the pipe. There are pipes that shoot steam.
Carefully dodge the burst of steam and move on. Once you are over dry land drop
down and go into the room that is open to you. This area is a wonderful area.
There is a first aid kit and tons of supplies. Get an explosive bottle, tape,
bug spray, glow sticks, and health spray if nothing else. Put tape on the
explosive bottle, and on the glow sticks. Grab a pipe lying on the ground. Go
back to the wire that is in the water, and pull it out with the pipe and hook
it to where it is out of the water. Once the water is safe to get into, go down
towards the door, equip the taped bottle and toss it on the door. Shoot the
bottle to blast the down open. Go through the now open door, and walk the path
till *cutscene*. There are several options to get past the black foggy water of
doom. The first is to use the flashlight and get across that way, I do not
recommend this, because I have bad luck with it. The next option is to use
taped glowsticks. That is one of my favorites. Toss those if you have some
taped glowsticks, and enough to get across. The last choice and a very
effective one, is to use the lighter. Yes the tiny lighter with an inch of fire
for little. Go into first person, hold it as low as you can and walk out to the
open doorway on the other end of the black fog. Walk forward to the fire that
blocks the doorway to the room with all of the items. There is a pipe you can
turn to make the fire stop. Go back into the room. A humanz attacks, but you
have a lighter and bug spray, equip them to make a mini flame thrower and kill
him off. The items should have respawned. The next area of black fog doesn't
let the lighter trick work. Grab glowsticks and an explosive bottle. Make
those flame bullets I love so much. Go back down to the walkway you pasted
before you restocked. Aim the gun at the fleshy sack that spawns ratz. That is
called a nest. Shot the nest with a flame bullet to kill it. Walk over to where
it was careful not to fall in the electrical water. Press the A button to pick
up and remove the wire out of the water. Now walk over to the pipe in the water
and shut off the gas. You can now reach the ladder that is behind the black fog.
Since the lighter doesn't work in this one. Tape up some glowsticks and get to
that ladder. At the top, you need to turn off the power. The vampirez make a
return, grab the cable to push it over to the fence. Turn the power back
on, and fry the bats. Once defeated, the fuse box burns out. Go through the
door in the fence and climb up the ladder.
Now the park is open to you, and it will be no walk in the park as three humanz
are nearby, and coming at you. Defeat them or run off. Running from the
baddies in the park, normally works well. They tend to be slow, so you can out
run them without much trouble. You can do whatever you like, but the story
does not progress till you go to the glowing mark on the map. When you are
close, you will find a broken path blocked by three broken cars and another car
hanging over a cliff. Humanz will also show up to attack you when you are close
to this area too. Kill them and get a car.
I wasn't sure where to put this, so I think I'll do it here. Normal cars always
have normal things in the glovebox. They have things like tape and explosive
bottles. Cop cars tend to have things like batteries and ammo boxes. Taxi's
will always have a health spray, but it will only be at 50%. In a normal car
hot wiring will only turn on the lights or start the car. Cop cars can to
lights, the horn, the siren, or start the car. Taxi's will either honk, lights,
or start the car. Lights and the horn, as well as a siren will attract nearby
monsters. Cars can help you get from point A to point B, stabbing the car's gas
tank makes a movable bomb (light the gas trail and run), also they help to
stock up on what you need, and lastly, you can fill empty bottles with gas to
use later.
back to 3.4
Get that car and blast the tank to clear a path through the broke cars blocking
the roadway. Go forward to the car that is dangling over the cliff. Oh
crap, the owner was alive, well that's what he gets for a bad parking job. Now
that the path is clear, get another car and drive down the road, turn around
and go at high speed where the path is now clear. You will jump the cliff to
the other side. *Cutscene* Another chapter is over. Go ahead and save. Then
when you are ready, go and continue.
*Cutscene* Walk down the path way in front of you to the marker. Turn right and
go into the building. On the table at the end of the building is a new gun,
glowsticks, and bug spray. Run back out and go to the new dot, which is a car.
Get in. *Cutscene* It is time for driving mission number two! WooHoo! The
path is fairly linear, Sarah will alert you to any quick turns by yelling left
or right. Go quickly, but not so fast that you drive recklessly. Once you
get to the main road, you can follow it, just dodge the cars in the way. There
are a few jumps you need to pick up speed for. Some advice, do not use first
person view. Also the more times you do it, and fail, that game makes the
difficulty go down. I failed enough times that I eventually had not vampirez on
my car ever. At the end, a tree will fall and *cutscene*.
The Nest (4.2)
Time for a boss fight. Sarah is hiding behind a brick fence, and you can too.
There is another fence on the opposite side too. Behind both fences are a
bunch of explosives, sprays, and ammo. Load up on explosives and ammo. Equip
the gun and the bottle. The vampires float over head, but under the bridge is
the vampirez nest. Run up close, but do not go under the ridge as the vampirez
will *cutscene* kill you. Toss the explosive and shoot it, to hurt the nest.
Run back to Sarah, reload and stock up again. The nest will throw rocks and
cars at you, so stay behind the fence until it has tossed its weapon of choice.
Run back and repeat the process three more times to defeat the nest. Do not
worry about the vampirez cause you can not get rid of them, just hit the nest.
After your fourth hit *cutscene*. Go back and stock up on health sprays and
explosive bottles. Heal up, then go up the newly opened stairs. *Cutscene*.
Hop into the truck and drive to the next objective. *Cutscene* Grab the
towtruck, drive over to the ledge. Sarah will affirm if you lined it up well.
Get out and hit the switch behind the drivers side. That'll make a ramp. Go to
the back and shoot the pad locks off to complete the ramp. *Cutscene*
Try as you like to save Sarah, it will not work. Shoot a few vampirez.
*Cutscene* Walk a bit. *Cutscene* Kill the humanz that show up. Grab a vehicle
and drive at high speed at the ramp. Once across you can find glass bottles.
Shoot the lock off of the gate. Walk in and *cutscene*. The fissure is back,
quick burn it! Go over to the pipe sticking out of the ground and jump over to
the other area. Bash open the fuse box and hot wire it to call the elevator.
*Cutscene* Get on the elevator and press the up button. Shoot open the window
and hop inside.
Enter the room. Walk towards the far door, and another fissure comes at you.
Burn it. Once that is done. Go back towards the window, and open that door next
to it. Inside is a first aid kit. There are also several explosive bottles.
Most importantly is a fire extinguisher. Grab that. Bash your way through
the door and then the far door the fissure came from. Outside that door is a
lot of flames on the left. Put them out and go out that way. Hope you got
everything you wanted back there cause the path caves in behind you. *Cutscene*
Now if you go right you can get explosive bottles, water bottles, and you
can find a first aid kit. Stock up, and head down the other direction. As you
turn right and go down the hallway there is a *cutscene*. These guys suck.
Humanz that toss spikes at you. Hide behind the table and wait for his spike
attack. After the attack he is weakened for a moment. Toss an explosive and
shoot it to kill him. That was a work out. Put out the fire with the nearby
extinghuisher. Turn to the right and, aww crap, there is another one. Run back
and hide behind the table again and use the same solution to kill this one.
When he's gone, go back down there and to the door the second one was near.
Bash or blow open the door. Follow the pathway till you get a *cutscene*. Yay
one more chapter down. Save it up and move on to...

Conversations with winemakers on Twitter
By Remy Charest | Published: December 31, 2009
Yeah, I'll admit it, Twitter sometimes keeps me from blogging more.

As I gear towards a career in art and advertising I wanted to include a monthly posting of some of my favorite ads and a short description of why I like them and why I think they work. Here are my 2 picks for November.
This commercial is beautifully shot and stands out as very unique with a bizarre twist. The songs are both effective especially when the animals prance in to Blossom Dearies, Doop Doo Dee Doop. Great tagline also, "Just the Right Amount of Wrong".
Good choice of casting using Mad Mens John Slattery. I think the piano theme is haunting and grabs your attention. Futuristic style commercial that makes the Lincoln actually seem cool, a tough feet. There is a follow up commercial incorportating the holiday season as well.
Whats your favorite ad out right now? Submit a link in a comment below!

The President conveyed his belief that there is greater scope for the development of these ties in the future.
During the meeting the President and the Prime Minister discussed topics of interest to be further explored in order to enhance the good working relationship between the two countries. In this regard, discussions were held on providing favourable visa conditions for Maldivians, the introduction of a bilateral double taxation avoidance agreement, strengthening & widening business ties and exploring additional investment opportunities for Malaysian businesses in the Maldives, such as hotel investments and infrastructure development. The President also expressed interest in working with the Government of Malaysia on combating transnational terrorism and giving smaller nations a more representative voice.
The President also requested the support of the Government of Malaysia on setting up a Maldivian Education and Cultural Centre in Kuala Lumpur while the Prime Minister expressed his Government's full cooperation in the matter.
Before concluding the meeting President Yameen invited Prime Minister Dato'Seri Najib Razak to visit the Maldives at a mutually convenient date and the Malaysian Prime Minister accepted the invitation.

There's a heavy crop of oyster mushroom (above) on some sweet chestnut logs, the entire trunk of a felled tree, which have been left as a habitat in Thornhill Park. Oyster mushrooms are currently £10.80 per kilogram at Sainsbury's, so there must be hundreds of pounds' worth here, although some are a bit past their best.
The logs are also sprouting honey fungus (left), which is said to be edible when young.
On the stump itself, the common bracket fungus of dead wood, Trametes versicolor is growing. The brackets are paler around the edges.
This silver birch, down by the canal near the Figure of Three locks, was catching the sun. I've added a watercolour filter in Photoshop to bring out the texture of the diamond-shaped scars of its bark. Hopefully, I'll be getting down to actually painting some watercolours in the new year!
I feel that I can already tell that the days are getting longer and it's good to think that, in two months time, dogs mercury and lesser celandine will be springing up on the hedgebanks with coltsfoot appearing on disturbed ground.
For the moment though, the only conspicuous flowers are those of hogweed.
Hazel catkins, as yet unopened, are now prominent in the hedgerows.
There was a soft arc of a rainbow over the valley this morning as we set off across the fields via Smithy Brook to Thornhill.
Boxing Day Walk
I'm pleased that over the Christmas period we've managed to get out into our local countryside to walk our regular ten thousand steps because a news item in this month's Healthy Food Magazine reports that researchers at The University of British Columbia have:
"found a link between getting a nature top-up with an increase in general happiness and health during a two-week study. Participants were split into three groups: a control group, a group noting down human-made objects and those documenting nature finds. It was the last group that experienced the biggest boost in self-perceived wellbeing."
There was me thinking that catching up with my family and eating lots of Christmas cake and mince pies was what had given me a seasonal glow of wellbeing. I should have realised that it was getting my boots muddy and observing rainbows, fungus-covered logs and birch bark.
Who wouldn't be happy doing that?

According to that bastion of Georgia news, the Wall Street Journal, Florida's crackdown on pain medication dispensaries, "pill mills" in the vernacular, has pushed those business up into our fair state. The business have grown in Georgia from fewer than 10 in 2010 to more than 125 now. Expect that to continue, because Florida is now tracking controlled substance sales and other measures to combat the problem.
from the WSJ:
In contrast, Georgia failed to vote this year on a proposed law requiring pain clinics to be owned by medical professionals. It has no law that empowers the state's medical board to close shady operators and suspend the licenses of unscrupulous doctors. The Peach State also lacks a database that tracks the number of prescriptions each clinic writes, though it plans one for next spring.
Georgia has only five police detectives solely pursuing prescription-drug cases statewide. By comparison, Broward County, Fla., has eight to itself.

Resource Center
The Resource Center is nearing completion. This is my biggest project so far. The floor is now finished and we will start using it in about a week. We have over 1,000 hours of labor and about $600 in this project. The purpose of this building is Community development. It will serve as an office and organizing point for the area Community Based Organization and groups under it such as HIV/AIDS support groups, orphan care, food security, bee keeping, poultry raising and other groups the community decides are important. It will be a place for community meetings, trainings, adult education and development planning and will contain a small library of books, information and reference materials. It will be a focus of development for the community by its physical presence and a place for the planning, training and activities needed for development to take place.
I will soon be starting training workshops in tinsmithing, carpentry and tailoring. We still need some money to finish construction as well as tin sheets, planks, cloth, and miscellaneous supplies.
We also need tools like hammers, saws, planes and chisels as well as a treadle sewing machine which costs about $100. Any donations you can make would be greatly appreciated. These donations will provide capital investment for small income generating businesses in the community.
You can easily contribute by selecting the Donate button at the top of the column to the right. It's safe and easy by credit card or from your bank account and the money goes right to me. Thanks.
Today we are plastering the walls.
First dambo sand is dug and hauled in with wheel barrows or buckets. Dambo sand is a sand and clay mix which is found locally. A small amount of cement is added for more strength.
The plaster is put on the wall and smoothed with wooden floats.

This is my village: Lipunga in the Traditional Authority of Mkanda and the District of Mchinji. Here I am with Mr Chitedze in front of his house.
The main road in the center of the village.
Kids are often playing soccer and other games.
The buildings are pretty rough. Most are mud with thatched roofs. There are a few made of home made fired bricks and even fewer with tin roofs. Typically there are 2 to 4 rooms. Cooking and washing dishes are done outside.

New PCV's arrive!
It's been a year since I arrived in Malawi with my group of volunteers and here we are welcoming this year's batch at Lilongwe airport.
There are 3 sectors in Malawi: Environment, Health and Education. Three times a year a group arrives for each sector. Mine is environment.
There is a lot of pride and enthusiasm!

Kids and Games
There are kids everywhere and when they see me they often shout "Bwanji azungu!" which translates to "How are you white man". They are always asking me to take a photo. The boy on the left has a "cataput" or slingshot. Third from left has a "khasu" or hoe on his shoulder - and somebody forgot their pants.
A girl with a hoe. She has been weeding in the fields.
Young people hanging out at the borehole. These are students from the primary school.
Cow carts are a common sight. They are used for transporting tobacco, manure, firewood, maize, flour, people and many other things. The cows are not trained. They just hit them with sticks and yell at them until they go in the desired direction.

Roads and Fields
During the rainy season, which is just ending, the roads get pretty messy and rutted.
Where ever you go there are people walking and riding bikes.
There are some good views along the way.
The kids like to play in the water.
Tobacco is a big crop in Malawi - the largest source of export income. The plants on the left are tobacco after most of the leaves have been removed. They are harvested from the bottom up as they start to turn yellow and hung in sheds to dry. When dry they are pressed into a bale wrapped in burlap and taken to the auction floor to be sold.

- Sports
Sport plays an incredibly important role in modern British life. As well as boosting the economy by billions every year, sport also encourages community spirit, gives players and spectators a greater sense of purpose, teaches young people fundamental life skills and improves the physical and psychological health of millions who participate.
Some people participate in sports simply for fun. Others view it as a fundamental part of their lives and strive constantly to do better. To achieve great things in sport we must put our bodies and minds through extensive training programmes. Every day we must try to be fitter, faster, stronger and sharper than we were yesterday.
The role of the sports coach is hugely varied, but it mainly involves:
a) Teaching rules, techniques and tactics to beginners.
b) Providing an objective view to help teams and individuals enhance performance.
c) Helping those involved in top-level sport deal with enormous pressures faced in a highly competitive environment.
Through expert tutoring, constructive criticism, motivation and on-hand support, sports coaches can help individuals focus their minds, hone their bodies and learn their disciplines inside-out to ensure they have the best possible chance of succeeding.
Most professional sportspeople have coaches to help them train and compete - but you don't have to be a pro to hire a coach. All you need is a desire either to learn a sport, or to enhance your performance in the sport you already play.
What is sports coaching?
Sports coaching can be defined as the process of motivating, guiding and training an individual in preparation for any sporting hobby, career, or event.
You might consider hiring a sports coach to help you:
- start a sport
- improve your game
- advance to a professional level
- become a world-class athlete.
Starting a new sport
Starting a new sport is a great way to meet new people, open up new opportunities for yourself and improve your mental and physical health.
Sports coaches can be hired to teach anyone the basic rules of a sport. So, if you fancy playing tennis but you've never even held a racket before - you could hire a tennis coach to teach you how. Your coach will make sure you grasp the very basics of the sport before progressing to anything more advanced.
Once you've mastered the basics of the game, who knows where you'll be in a few years time?
Improve your game
Teaching is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to sports coaching. Once you've got to grips with the rules and techniques, you'll be ready to decide whether it's something you wish to take seriously or not.
If you find you have a natural talent and enjoyment for your chosen sport, you might want to build even further on that. The key to progress is practice, but there comes a point in every amateur and professional athlete's sporting experience when that progress appears to plateau. Unfortunately, when we stop noticing signs of progression, feelings of disparagement can start to kick in - making it much easier to give up.
A sports coach can be hired to assess your performance critically in order to identify particular areas in need of improvement. Once you have a plan for moving forward, those feelings of progression and movement will return - hopefully accompanied by a new boost of motivation to reach a higher level of performance.
Advance to a professional level
Only a handful of people go on to play their sports at a professional level, and to do so requires a huge amount of talent, effort, passion and dedication.
Individuals who show high levels of potential are often encouraged to hire a sports coach who will give them that extra push. Many sports coaches have backgrounds in professional sports themselves, so they know what it takes to make it to the top. A sports coach can act as an agent, putting hopefuls in touch with clubs, societies and sponsors to help them turn their hobby into a paying career.
Sports coaches often take a holistic approach to coaching. This means they look at the whole picture rather than just one part. So for example, if an aspiring track runner wants to improve their time by a second, instead of focusing all their effort on the treadmill, a sports coach might suggest a psychological approach. Are there any mental blocks preventing the athlete from running that little bit faster? What's happening in their personal life? Are there any personal distractions standing in the way of full concentration and focus?
The closer athletes progress towards a professional sporting level, the more involved their coaches become in the workings of their life. The relationship between coach and athlete must be:
- strong
- professional
- built on mutual trust and respect.
Become a world-class athlete
Unlike most workers, who start work at nine and finish at five, world-class athletes effectively hand their whole lives over to their sport. Their body is their vehicle, and everything they put into it effects what they get out of it. An athlete can't spend a weekend staying up late drinking alcohol and eating rich foods, and then expect to break world records the next week.
To get the most out of their bodies, professional athletes often have to live by a set of very strict rules set out by their sports coaches. They have to give up a great deal of their freedom to make sure their bodies stay at the peak of fitness. First of all, they have to change their diets; second of all, they have to put personal commitments aside to make room for the hours of physical training they'll need. This, along with the gruelling therapy sessions, high risk of injury, and frequent travelling (putting strain on personal lives), all makes for an incredibly gruelling career.
Sports coaches help world-class athletes handle the emotional side of sports, using sports psychology theory to help them:
1. Deal with failure
What is it like to spend hours day in day out, for months (and sometimes years) on end, working towards a single moment - a race, a competition, or a game - to then not win it? All of those gruelling training sessions, all of those painful mental struggles, all of the time, friends, and opportunities you sacrificed along the way so that you might win...and then you don't.
For many athletes - the feeling of failure is enough to put a total stop to a career. Part of the sports coach's role is to support athletes through this difficult time and help them to see their failure not as an end, but as the beginning of a new journey.
2. Deal with success
Success: it's a good thing, it's what everyone aims for when they play sport - so why would anyone need help coping with it?
For the lucky few in top level sport, success often results in fame and wealth - think of footballers and their incredibly lavish, hedonistic lifestyles. Sports coaches need to be on hand to rein in any egos, keep athletes grounded and ensure they remain focused on playing the sport without getting distracted by the public recognition that often comes with it.
3. Recovering from injury
Injury can have a massive psychological effect on professional athletes. When your body holds the key to your livelihood, your happiness, and your sense of purpose, the last thing you want is for it to stop working properly. Athletes who suddenly find themselves cooped up at home for weeks on end unable to train, quickly become frustrated, bored, disheartened and even depressed. Being in pain can also have a negative impact on their emotional well-being, requiring extra support from sports coaches to keep them focused on recovery. Coaches can cancel upcoming events for athletes, organise therapy sessions and speak with the athlete to decide the best course of treatment.
4. Enhance performance
Sports coaches use visualisation techniques, relaxation methods and self-talk exercises to help athletes enhance their performance from a psychological perspective. Most athletes agree that thinking positively and visualising success helps them to reach their goals.
Sports coaching for children
If your child shows a particular interest in a sport, you may consider hiring a sports coach to help him or her progress to a higher level. Here is all the information you'll need to know about sports coaching for children:
Safeguarding children
All sports coaches working with children should meet certain standards proving they are safe, trustworthy and competent. When choosing a sports coach, make sure they have been DBS checked recently (previously known as CRB).
Understanding development stages
Children are always growing. As they get older, their bodies undergo fundamental biochemical changes that will inevitably effect their sporting performances. Coaches need to be aware of child development stages so they can adapt training programmes over time to match the changing bodies and minds of the children they coach.
Inspiring positive development
Sports coaching usually takes a holistic approach to performance. Children benefit from sports coaching because it teaches them skills they can apply to everyday life, including:
- good work ethic
- confidence
- sportsmanship
- discipline and focus
- communication skills
- leadership and team playing.

Militant monks rabble-rousing in Myanmar
By Jeff Kingston
February 22, 2015
With the people of Myanmar heading to the polls later this year, there are troubling signs that some extremists are intent on stirring up trouble.
Last month, one such extremist held a rally in Yangon. Ashin Wirathu gave a vitriolic speech that attacked U.N. human rights envoy Yanghee Lee.

"Don't assume you are a respectable person, just because you have a position in the U.N. In our country, you are just a whore," he said. "If you are so willing, you may offer your arse to the kalar [a racist term meaning 'blacks' that is commonly used to denigrate Muslims in Myanmar]. But you will never sell off our Arakan State!" Remarkably, Wirathu is a monk.
This notorious monk has a history of instigating violence against Myanmar's Muslim minority and is a bigoted rabble-rouser who allegedly has ties to "dark forces" that are eager to stir up trouble. He served an almost decade-long jail term for inciting violence in the past, but is apparently popular as recordings of his speeches are widely available and he attracts large audiences. On the day of his U.N.-bashing, he marched through Yangon with about 500 supporters, in a nation where such large demonstrations usually require a police permit.
Alas, Wirathu is the poster child for hate speech in Myanmar, spewing his invective and heartily backing controversial new legislation that aims to ban Buddhist women from marrying Muslims. Non-Buddhist men would have to convert to Buddhism before marrying a Buddhist woman, get consent from the bride's parents or guardians, and only then could local officials register the marriage. Failure to comply could be penalized by imprisonment and/or confiscation of assets. Not only does this deny Muslim men freedom of religion, it also infringes on the rights of Buddhist women. It weakens women's rights and gives parents or guardians control over the most intimate and important decision many will make in their lives.
This ban on interfaith marriage comes against the backdrop of a significant rise in anti-Muslim violence in recent years. At issue is whether Muslim families in the western state of Rakhine (formerly Arakan) are legitimate citizens of Myanmar, with all the rights that entails, or illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh. The problem of the Rohingya is hotly debated and complicated, but it does seem that many of these Muslim families have been living in the country for several generations and are not recent arrivals. Undoubtedly, though, some of them are and dealing with them has provided a pretext for more draconian state treatment of all Muslims in the area, sparking violence against them, in some cases instigated by monks.
So what is with these militant monks? Certainly they are forcing us to reconsider the stereotype of monks as sutra-reading lotus-eaters dedicated to mindfulness and detachment through quiet meditation. The firebrand extremists are wolves in saffron robes, betraying their faith and urging others to hate and, in extreme cases, engage in acts of violence.
In 2007, several weeks after the Saffron Revolution — when security forces mowed down monks on the streets of Yangon — I was in Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine, and met some monks who had been involved in the anti-government demonstrations. They asked me why the U.S. didn't launch airstrikes against the generals in Naypidaw, their dystopian capital built in the middle of nowhere. This is not what I expected from monks, but in scenic Mrauk U, a few hours riverboat ride away, I met other monks with the same question. In both places, anti-government invective was laced with nasty comments about Rohingya and Muslims. It was my first inkling that something was amiss.
Wirathu leads the 969 Movement, which promotes boycotts of local Indian or Chinese businesses, exploiting the widespread frustration among people living close to the edge. It is not a big leap from a boycott to some incident that can spark the kindling of discontent that leads to riots, deaths, burning and looting. By inflaming communal tensions and wreaking havoc, Buddhist militants have much to answer for but they enjoy impunity because security forces have not been even-handed.
Wirathu's jingoistic rhetoric whips crowds into a frenzy, promoting a Buddhist nationalism that taps into the miseries of endemic poverty and offers a handy target. He wants to "save" Buddhist wombs from nefarious Muslims who threaten to overwhelm the demographic balance with their large families. It appears that his campaign is politically motivated as Wirathu is also linked to the government and those who engage in dirty tricks to weaken the election prospects of Aung San Suu Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).
Instigating communal turmoil underscores the need for a robust role by security forces in keeping the peace, thereby playing to the strength of the current government dominated by ex-military officers. They are desperate because everyone is predicting an NLD landslide. Thus a more devious aspect of this campaign is to maneuver Suu Kyi into the position of appearing overly solicitous toward the vilified Rohingya, thus "betraying" the Buddhist majority. Meanwhile, opposing the marriage law would mean she is not protecting "our" women from "them."
Mindful of this insidious strategy, Suu Kyi must walk a tightrope in ways that frustrate her overseas backers who want her to stand up for the Rohingya. If forecasts are accurate, however, it appears that very few Buddhists are buying into this ruse and her NLD will coast to victory if the elections are free and fair. Will they be?
Curiously, on Feb. 11 the president's office effectively revoked the voting rights of 2 million people only a few days after a massive majority in parliament granted suffrage to these same holders of temporary identity cards; 1.3 million of them are Muslim Rohingya. This is probably the least of Rohingya worries, but it does underscore how they have become political pawns.
So why was Wirathu lashing out at the U.N.? Because it is calling for Myanmar to grant citizenship to Rohingya born in the country. Lee, the target of Wirathu's vile tirade, replied with dignity.
"Fundamental rights are not hierarchical — they aren't conditional upon one another. They're inalienable," she said.
Perhaps so, but not if the mad monk and his masters get their way.

text: I made my first site a year ago. It was an affiliate site with some unique content based on the products I was promoting. At the time, I had no clue that I needed to pick keywords to rank for but it got lucky enough that the domain I chose turned out to be a keyword phrase with 1,300 monthly searches and 25,000 competing sites haha. I have been manually building links, and scrapebox blasting, but I don't know why I haven't been able to move from spot #4 for over 3 months now. I have the meta tags in, description with keyword phrase, and phrase in the articles I published on the site when I created it. Am I not doing something I could be?

Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that former Falcon offensive linemen Matt Lehr is under investigation for allegedly distrubuting performance-enhancing drugs. Lehr was last with the Falcons in 2006. According to Schmidt's report, one unidentified player that currently plays on the Falcons has been subpoenaed to testify in front of the grand jury in Texas.
During 2006, Lehr was suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy, in relation to steroid use.
Lehr comes under investigation due to the guilty plea of David Jacobs, a personal trainer from Plano, TX this past November. Jacobs pleaded guilty to federal charges that he manufactured steroids in his home from raw materials imported from China and then distributed them through his connections as a trainer. Reportedly, Jacobs ran one of the largest steroid distribution networks in the Southwest. Jacobs indicated that he had close ties with certain members of both the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys. According to the Dallas Morning News, Lehr met Jacobs in the fall of 2006 which would coincide with his suspension.
Lehr's lawyer indicates that he expects the charges to be dropped due to faulty information provided by Jacobs, and that Lehr has been fingered because of his refusal to pay Jacobs's legal fees.
"We are confident that the more the feds look at Jacobs, the less credible of a source of information he becomes."
— Paul Coggins, Lehr's attorney
