Warner Bros. has unleashed a thumping, action-packed second trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, with new images from the hotly anticipated fantasy adventure following in its wake.
Directed by Guy Ritchie, the sequel stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Fry, Gilles Lellouche, Kelly Reilly, Geraldine James and Rachel McAdams.
Watch the trailer below, or view it in HD at iTunes Movie Trailers. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens Dec. 16.
Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room … until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large — Professor Moriarty — and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade, points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder — a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.
Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen's club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes are toasting Dr. Watson on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim, a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince's murder makes her the killer's next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him. The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction — all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.

Mary Alice Williams Comes to America
Mary Alice Williams has joined The America Channel as an advisor.
The former Cable News Network and NBC journalist will advise the network on productions and operations, and she will make some on-air appearances.
She is already a host on The America Channel Radio, available online (www.americachannel.us).
"The America Channel will be the ultimate real-life TV -- not an artificial concoction of bizarre endurance contests intended to feed our prurience, but a reflection of the life blood of America, from city halls to soccer fields, intended to celebrate our diversity, our beliefs and our common dreams," Williams said in a prepared statement.

"Slaves of the Realm" review
Slaves of the Realm (2003)
Directed by Lloyd A. Simandl
Writing credits Chris Hyde
Rena Mero.... Shira
Daniela Krhutova.... Briana (as Daniela Krhut)
Lucie Vondrácková.... Alana (as Lucie Vondracek)
I bought this video for three bucks. If there's one thing you can say about "Slaves of the Realm", it's that the title didn't lie. These girls are slaves and they are in a realm. They're slaves of the realm. That title described the movie perfectly. There are at least twenty minutes of slave-girl footage. The slaves are thrown in a silver mine and told to get busy. Many half naked women move rocks around. So if you like seeing hot women in loose white outfits slaving away in a mine, this is the movie for you.
As for me, I found "Slaves of the Realm" to be one big tease. The movie is halfway over before we finally get some naked breast scenes. The rest of the time the women are crawling through the mine and sweating up a storm. The large breasted priestess/warrior, (Rena Mero), does not get naked. Shameful I know. She goes to the evil princesses' castle to free the slaves. She's thrown in the mine as well. She's a slave of the realm too. Soon the slaves will revolt and some lame sword fights will commence.
"Slaves of the Realm" is truly a waste. Those slave-girl outfits stayed on way too long. Waaaaaaay too long. This one can be skipped.
SCORE: 1 out of 4 not loose enough white outfits

It was on the action section and I was looking for some good girl power movie and I rented this movie and I agree its kind of dumb .. it kind of wants to cross the line between a lame action movie to a porn movie there is a lot of close up to the boobs but never goes beyond that.
I want my money back .. lol
Not to mention that those scenes of working in the mine are repeated several times each. Terrible editing. Although, if you look closely on a few occasions, you do get to see .... vulva ! Although the video quality is too poor to make that worth the pain of watching this film.
theirs no point to the movie is sable is not naked

307th Infantry Regiment Memorial Grove
The 307th Infantry Regiment Memorial Grove is an area dedicated to the memory of soldiers who gave their lives during World War I. Following the war, several young trees were planted in the grove- one for each of the Regiment's companies. Each tree was marked with a plaque containing the names of men in that company who died in battle.
307th Infantry Regiment Memorial Tree
307th Infantry Regiment Stone
Over time, the grove fell into disrepair as several of the trees died and some of the plaques were stolen. A large boulder was later added to the site to serve as a combined memorial for all of the companies.
Knights of Pythias Stone
Within the grove is another memorial that is not related to the 307th Infantry: the Knights of Pythias Memorial. The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal order charted by Congress in 1864 with the mission to promote universal understanding and peace. The memorial honors the Knights of Pythias who were lost in World War I.

About The Generation Axe Members
While many artists fit easily into a single category, Steve Vai remains unclassifiable. Vai is a virtuoso guitarist, visionary composer, and consummate audio producer who sculpts musical sound with infinite creativity and technical mastery. One of the most in-demand, versatile, eloquent and soulful guitarists in the business, the GRAMMY Award-winner has sold over 15 million albums and toured the world as a solo artist, a member of G3, and with Frank Zappa, Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, and Whitesnake. Vai launched his successful solo career with the release of Flex-Able in 1984 and has written, produced, and engineered all of his solo albums. The 25th Anniversary Edition of his landmark album, Passion and Warfare, was released in 2016, along with an album of previously unreleased material, Modern Primitive. The release was accompanied by a 104-date world tour. He has appeared as a guest artist on more than 40 albums and created music for blockbuster films, best-selling video games and national sports franchises. Vai has earned honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music and Musicians Institute. For more info, visit: www.vai.com
GRAMMY Award-winner Zakk Wylde's legendary career includes a lengthy tenure with Ozzy Osbourne in which Wylde co-wrote and recorded several albums, including the multi-platinum No More Tears, Osbourne's largest selling solo album featuring the classic hit single, "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and the bulk of the double platinum 2002 set, Ozzmosis. With Osbourne, Wylde has played on countless world tours and television appearances, with his signature bullseye Les Paul in tow. Wylde has his mitts imprinted on Hollywood's Rock Walk of Fame; guest-starred alongside Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston in the movie "Rockstar"; and even momentarily joined Axl, Slash and Duff in Guns N' Roses. But nothing offers the pure expression of Zakk Wylde's animalistic "id" like Black Label Society, the stomping, heavy, bluesy, recklessly unhinged hard-rock-metal quartet who are quick to rip up a solo as to dip into a piano-fueled anthemic ballad. For more info, visit: www.zakkwylde.com
When Yngwie J. Malmsteen hit the scene in the early 80s, he turned the entire guitar world upside down; never before was guitar playing like his ever heard. Drawing inspiration from his love for Baroque and Romantic classical music, Malmsteen employs classical violin techniques such as four and five octave arpeggios, pedal notes, and harmonic minor, diminished and Phrygian scales, flawlessly delivered at mind-boggling levels of speed and clarity. In doing so, he has singlehandedly created a brand new style of guitar playing and composing that is still derived from today. In addition to having written and produced 35+ neoclassical rock albums, Malmsteen composed and orchestrated the "Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra," which he recorded with the prestigious Czech Philharmonic in Prague, conducted by Yoel Levy of Atlanta Symphony fame. Malmsteen subsequently performed the piece live with the the New Japan Philharmonic and the Taipei Symphony, among others. Malmsteen has received numerous Grammy nominations, hundreds of magazine covers, dozens of Reader's Poll and Composer of the Year Awards, a plaque on the Rock Walk of Fame, signature model guitars, amps, pickups, strings, picks, pedals, microphones, and more. TIME Magazine placed him as one of the top ten guitarists of all time. Some 35 years and 25 million+ album sales later, Yngwie shows no signs of slowing down, with his brand new record World on Fire due for release in April 2016. For more info, visit: www.yngwiemalmsteen.com, www.facebook.com/officialyngwiemalmsteen/
Guitar virtuoso, singer-songwriter, and record producer, Nuno Bettencourt rose to international prominence as a guitar player with the GRAMMY-nominated, Boston-area band EXTREME, one of the most successful rock acts of the early to mid 1990s selling over 10 million records worldwide. Musically, EXTREME is dominated by Bettencourt's blistering guitar riffs, often with funky, syncopated timing, and incendiary, high-speed rock/metal solos. Bettencourt penned the acoustic ballad "More Than Words" that went to #1 on the Billboard charts and "Hole Hearted" that reached #4. He has released multiple solo albums as well as with bands he founded including Mourning Widows Population 1, Dramagods and Satellite Party. Bettencourt has written, produced and performed with many legendary artists including Rihanna, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, Janet Jackson and many others. For more info, visit: www.nunobettencourt.com,
Oluwatosin Ayoyinka Olumide Abasi, better known as Tosin Abasi, is a Nigerian American guitarist known as the guitar player and founder of the instrumental progressive metal band, Animals as Leaders. Abasi's compositions of intricate music have garnered critical acclaim in a few short years. Abasi is part of the breed of new contemporary players who are raising the bar on the concept of electric guitar virtuosity. His approach to the guitar stems from a passion for advanced techniques and harmony. Abasi has created a highly unique and individual sound using 7-, 8-, and 9-string guitars.

Houseboats! They're awesome, versatile, and totally fun... but they can also be tricky, especially when adding one to a world other than Isla Paradiso. Thankfully you've come to the right place. This guide will answer every question you ever had regarding houseboats (and many that you didn't!), inform you as to what you can actually do with them (nearly everything!), and take you through a step by step tutorial explaining how to build one in Edit Town or in Create a World.
Your feedback is welcome and encouraged! If you have questions please ask, and if you see any inaccurate information please let me know so I can fix it.
This guide is split into easy to follow sections:
• FAQ – All questions regarding Houseboats answered.
• Edit Town Tutorial – How to add a houseboat to a world using the in-game editing tools.
• CAW Tutorial - How to build a custom world with the Create a World tool that has houseboats.
This guide is currently a work in progress. Remaining work to be done includes (but is not limted to):
• Organize the FAQ section so that the questions aren't all in a random order.
• Write the CAW tutorial.
This guide will give you info on just about everything you need to know regarding houseboats, but it doesn't 100% cover every possible situation you can encounter in-game. I'll continue to update the thread if any other important questions need to be answered, or if any information is discovered to be inaccurate
What's a houseboat?
Houseboats are just like any other lot in the game, except they're built on the ocean surface and can move around on the water anywhere you like. A houseboat can be a residential lot that a Sim lives in, or it can be nearly any type of community lot.
Are there different styles of houseboats?
Houseboats come in two different styles:
1) Barge Style - This houseboat is a basic rectangular barge.
2) Curved Bow Style - This houseboat has a curved bow at the front.
What sizes of houseboats are available?
Houseboats come in six different sizes & prices, as follows:
1) Barge, Small - 10x8 (Free)
2) Barge, Medium - 15x10 ($3000)
3) Barge, Large - 20x15 ($5000)
4) Barge, Narrow - 20x6 ($6000)
5) Curved Bow, Narrow - 14x6 ($8000)
6) Curved Bow, Wide - 12x8 ($9000)
How do I get my Sims to live on a houseboat?
First, you need to be playing in a world that either has houseboats or empty ports pre-built in it. Isla Paradiso, the world that comes with Island Paradise, has everything you need to get started on a houseboat.
1) Starting a new game and playing on a pre-built houseboat:
• With your Sims selected and on the "Choose a house!" step, simply click on a houseboat that you can afford and purchase it.
2) Starting a new game and playing on a empty houseboat:
• With your Sims selected and on the "Choose a house!" step, click on one of the map tags that looks like a dock.
• A drop down window will appear. Select which size and style of houseboat you'd like.
• Confirm that you would like to purchase the lot.
• Once you move in, you'll have a completely blank houseboat to build on from scratch.
3) Moving your Sim family from another home into a pre-built houseboat:
• Use your Sim's phone to initiate a move within the neighborhood.
• In the Move window, select "House..."
• Choose a houseboat in the world that you can afford and confirm your selection.
4) Moving your Sim family from another home into a new empty houseboat:
• Use your Sim's phone to initiate a move within the neighborhood.
• In the Move window, select "Empty Port..."
• A drop down window will appear. Select which size and style of houseboat you'd like.
• When the game switches to map view, select one of the Empty Port lots indicated with the Dock map tag.
• An empty houseboat of the size/style you selected will be created at the port and your family will move there upon confirmation.
5) If you've already created an empty houseboat in Edit Town mode and want to move to it...
• Use your Sim's phone to initiate a move within the neighborhood.
• In the Move window, select "Empty Lot..."
• When the game switches to map view, select the empty houseboat you already created.
I tried to move my Sim to an Empty Port but nothing appeared for them to select in map view. What do I do?
If there are no Empty Ports to move to then you won't be able to select any. Even if there does not appear to be a houseboat in one of the ports in Live Mode, another Sim family may be using that port if their houseboat is currently assigned to it. You can add additional empty ports to the world using Edit Town mode - see the Edit Town Tutorial for information on how to do that.
What Sims can live on a houseboat?
Sims of all ages can live on a houseboat. Any type of special creature / occult / supernatural Sim can also live on a houseboat.
Can Pets live on a houseboat?
Yes! Cats, dogs, and horses can all live on houseboats.
How do I get a horse onto a houseboat?
Although a horse can live on a houseboat, it isn't recommended for two reasons...
1) Horses require a lot of space, and houseboats are relatively small.
2) Horses are not able to go up/down stairs, and all ports that houseboats dock at require a staircase to connect them to the land.
Because horses can't go up/down stairs as noted above, the only way for a horse to get onto a houseboat is to take a boat to it. If the houseboat is currently docked, you may need to first move it away from a port so that a boat has enough room to reach it.
I was adding houseboats to empty ports or changing the size/style of an existing houseboat in Edit Town mode and now I have multiple houseboats on top of each other in the same port, what do I do?
This is a known issue. If you find that you've added an extra houseboat to a port, or changed the style/size of a houseboat and that the port now has more than one houseboat, use the Bulldozer tool to delete the houseboat that you don't want.
You can avoid this issue by removing any houseboats from a port prior to trying to add a different houseboat to it.
Does a houseboat have to be assigned to a port?
No. If you're creating a houseboat, it has to be done through a port lot. Once you're actually playing on a houseboat though you no longer need the port. You can click on the helm and select the "Abandon Port" interaction, and the port will be freed up for a different houseboat to use. After you select "Abandon Port", your houseboat will have no port to return to until you assign it to a port again. There is nothing wrong with doing this - if you don't want your houseboat assigned to a port it can remain out in the open water as long as you like.
Does there have to be one port for each houseboat in a world?
No. While a port is required to add a houseboat to a world, once that houseboat is added the port is technically no longer necessary. If you click on the helm of your houseboat and select the "Abandon Port" interaction, the port your houseboat was using is then freed up for use by a different houseboat. Using this method, you can continue to add additional houseboats to a world using a single port.
How do I drive a houseboat that's a community lot?
Your Sim family will need to own or rent a houseboat to be able to drive it.
1) You can use the Real Estate system through your phone to purchase a community lot houseboat, at which point you'll be able to access the navigation controls on the helm.
If a houseboat has a rabbithole on it, your Sim will need to own the rabbithole to be able to drive the houseboat that it's placed on.
2) You can throw a party on a community lot houseboat. Use the phone and select "Throw Party At..." then select the community lot houseboat. During the hours of the party you'll have access to the helm to drive the houseboat around.
CAUTION: When the party ends you'll no longer have permission to drive the houseboat. Return the houseboat to the port prior to the party ending if you don't want to leave it out in the ocean.
How do I make a houseboat into a community lot?
The same method of changing any residential lot into a community lot works on houseboats. Go to Edit Town mode and select the houseboat. Click on the "Change Lot Type" button and select any Community lot from the list.
Why can't I add objects to the port lot that my houseboat is docked at?
Your Sim does not own the port lot that their houseboat is docked at. The port is not considered part of your home or your property. Port lots are community lots that any houseboat can move to anytime they like.
Another houseboat is using a port lot that I want to dock my houseboat at. How do I get it to move?
1) Residential lots:
If you've got your eye on a particular port lot that is already occupied by another Sim, you can ask the Sims living there to move. Simply visit the Sim living there on their houseboat, and select the "Ask to Relinquish Port" interaction. If the Sim living there doesn't hate you, they'll likely accept your request. Give them a few minutes to navigate their houseboat away, and the port will be freed up for you to move your houseboat to!
2) Community lots:
To move a community lot houseboat to a different port, you'll first need to own that houseboat (using the resort system on your phone). Once you own the community lot houseboat, you can then access the Change Port / Abandon Port interactions to make the houseboat leave its current port.
Can I create a community lot on a houseboat?
Yes! Nearly every type of community lot in the game can be created on a houseboat. The following types cannot be created on houseboats:
• Beach
• Horse Ranch
• Equestrian Center
• Diving Lot
• Port
Are there any upgrades available for houseboats?
Yes! Sims with the handiness skill can perform a variety of upgrades on their houseboats. Upgrades are performed by clicking on the Helm object. The helm is also the first object in the game that allows you to add multiple upgrades to it, so you can have all three installed at the same time. The available upgrades are...
• Foghorn - Loud and awesome. Annoys other Sims on the boat.
• Faster Engines - Allows you to toggle between normal speed and a faster speed.
• Autopilot - Installs a navigation system that will safely drive the houseboat without requiring the Sim to stand at the helm and steer.
I upgraded my houseboat with faster engines, so how do I actually make it drive faster?
Once you've added the Faster Engines upgrade, click on the helm and select "Set Engine Speed to Fast" and your houseboat will immediately speed up. You can also select this again and choose "Set Engine Speed to Slow" to return your houseboat to its original speed at any time
I upgraded my houseboat with autopilot functionality, how do I use it?
Once you've added the autopilot upgrade, simply click on the ocean surface and select the "Move Houseboat Here Using Autopilot" interaction rather than "Move Houseboat Here" to have the houseboat drive itself to the destination.
Can the houseboat plot a course to multiple destinations?
Yes! You can queue up multiple Move Houseboat commands to plot any course you'd like for your houseboat. Once it reaches the first destination, it will then start moving to the next spot you selected. This also works with the autopilot upgrade, so you can have your houseboat cruise around all day while you do other things if you'd like.
If I use both manual steering and the autopilot upgrade on my houseboat, which command takes priority?
A manual command to move the houseboat performed by a Sim will always take priority over an autopilot command. If a houseboat is driving somewhere using autopilot and a Sim selects "Move Houseboat Here", the autopilot route will immediately stop and the Sim will start driving. Alternatively, if the Sim is driving and you select an autopilot route, the autopilot won't begin until the Sim reaches the destination they were driving to.
I told my houseboat to move somewhere using autopilot but now I want it to stop/change course. How can I make it stop?
If the houseboat is currently moving somewhere using the autopilot upgrade, you can click on the helm and select "Stop Houseboat" to immediately cancel all autopilot commands and bring the houseboat to a complete stop.
Can I use the houseboat to move to a different world?
No. The only way to move to a different world is to use the phone or computer and select the Move To New Town interaction. Your houseboat will be left behind in your old world.
Can I add a houseboat to the travel worlds from World Adventures or University Life?
Yes, houseboats are fully supported in the travel worlds. Using Edit Town you can add one as a vacation home in the three locations from World Adventures, or add one to your University town.
How does the camera work on a houseboat?
You can lock the camera to follow a houseboat while it's moving. That way you don't have to keep moving your camera while the houseboat drives somewhere. You can lock the camera two different ways...
1) Press SHIFT + Enter or click on the "View My Home" button.
2) Use the right mouse button on your Sim's portrait or click the "View My Sim" button while your Sim is on a houseboat. This will lock the camera to the Sim, but any camera movement away from the Sim will then fallback to the houseboat camera lock.
Once the camera is locked to a houseboat, you can move the camera around in any direction and the camera will continue to move with the houseboat. To stop the camera from moving with the houseboat you can either move the camera further away from the houseboat, or switch to map view and then back to regular live mode view.
Why does it sometimes feel difficult to move my camera away from the houseboat?
The houseboat has a invisible zone around it, and once your camera is locked on a houseboat (read the previous question), the camera remains locked to the houseboat while its position stays within this zone. When you attempt to move the camera outside of this zone, the camera movement slows down to let you know that you're about to unlock the camera. If you stop moving the camera at this point, the camera will bounce back towards the houseboat and remain locked. If you continue moving the camera away from the houseboat, the houseboat camera lock will break free and the camera will no longer move along with the houseboat's movement.
Can I use the video cameras from Generations on a houseboat?
Yes! It's super cool, you should try it!
Why can't I add a houseboat to the lake in Twinbrook from The Sims 3 Ambitions?
One of the requirements for a houseboat is that they're built on a water surface that's considered an ocean. In The Sims 3, any body of water that exists as sea level is considered "ocean", which is why you can add houseboats to places like the river in Riverview or the lake in Lucky Palms.
Unfortunately, because the large lake in Twinbrook is above sea level and thus is not considered to be ocean, houseboats can't be built on it.
Can I build a pool on my houseboat?
Yes, pools can be added to houseboats but they do have some restrictions. A pool can't be built on the main deck of a houseboat, and it can't be built in the basement of a houseboat. A pool can only be added on the 2nd floor or higher on a houseboat.
Can I use the fountain tool on my houseboat?
Yes, fountains can be added to a houseboat with one restriction. A fountain can't be built in the basement level of a houseboat.
Can I add a basement to my houseboat?
Yes, you can add a one level deep basement to your houseboat. This is considered to be the hull of the boat. To go down into the hull of your boat, a new interaction named "Go Below Deck" is available when clicking on surfaces of your houseboat.
How many buildable floors does a houseboat have?
You can build as many stories on a houseboat as any other type of lot. That includes five fully buildable floors, plus a sixth floor for the roof. You can also add a one level deep basement to your houseboat.
How does building on a houseboat differ from a normal home?
Houseboats are unique in that they allow you to build a wall all the way to the edge of the boat, which is something you can't do on a normal lot.
How do you go fishing off the side of a houseboat?
To be able to fish off the side of a houseboat, a Sim needs a minimum of three tiles wide and two tiles deep of free space along the edge of a houseboat. The edge of the houseboat can't be obstructed by a fence, half wall, object, etc. If your Sim can't find enough space to go fishing anywhere off the side of their houseboat they will route fail - should you see this, you need to free up more space for them.
Can I place windows in the basement to see underwater?
You can place windows, but you'll need to use a cheat to allow it. Build a basement in your houseboat, and then open the cheat console by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + C at the same time. Type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks and press enter. Open the cheat console again, and this time type in "moveobjects on" and press enter. You should now be able to place a window on the exterior wall of a houseboat basement to see the water outside. If the window does not cut out the wall properly, try grabbing it and placing it down again.
Note: You will not be able to see the ocean floor through a houseboat basement window, you'll only see water.
Can a houseboat sink?
Can the houseboat be attacked by the kraken?
No. The kraken may appear from time to time, but it will only attack smaller boats that are easier prey.
Can houseboats drive under bridges?
Most of the time a houseboat will not fit under a bridge, in which case it will simply stop. The one exception is the bridge in Bridgeport, which the houseboat can pass under.
Who can drive a houseboat?
Sims aged teen through elders can drive the houseboat.
How do I drive a houseboat?
The helm is used to control the houseboat. The simplest way to move is while your Sim (aged teen or older) is on their houseboat, click directly on the surface of the ocean and select "Move Houseboat Here".
Alternatively, you can click directly on the helm, on the houseboat hull, or on walls of the houseboat to find the helm interactions. From there you can select the "Move Houseboat" interaction. This will take you to map view, and wherever you click on the ocean is where the houseboat will drive to.
My houseboat got stuck, what do I do?
If you find yourself in a situation where your houseboat is stuck and is unable to move (this should not happen), you can use a handy cheat to fix it. Open the cheat console by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + C, and then type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks and press enter. Now, hold down the SHIFT key and press your left mouse button on the surface of the ocean where you want your houseboat to be. Select the interaction named "Teleport Active Houseboat Here", and your entire houseboat will warp to this new location. You should now be un-stuck!
What happens if my houseboat can't route somewhere?
If you tell your houseboat to drive somewhere that it can't reach (a separate body of water, or if you try and navigate a large houseboat through a small river that doesn't have enough room for it), then your Sim will stand at the helm and display a route fail thought bubble above their head. If you were using autopilot to try and move the houseboat, the houseboat will simply not move.
What happens if I delete the helm?
By default you're not allowed to delete the helm, but it can be done using cheats. If you do delete the helm, the houseboat won't be able to move until you add another helm. You can find the helm in the buydebug section of the catalog using cheats.
What happens if I add a second helm? Can two Sims drive?
The game will not allow you to place more than one helm per houseboat.
There's no large outdoor trash can on my houseboat, what happens to my trash?
You may have noticed that all normal homes come with a large trash can that can't be deleted. This trash can does not exist on houseboats. By default, a houseboat comes with a small trash can that you're welcome to delete if you want to. If there is no trash can on a houseboat, trash will continue to pile up. Any trash thrown into any trash can on a houseboat will be automatically deleted - there is no need to empty trash cans on houseboats.
Can I change the mailbox on my houseboat?
Sure. You can use cheats to place a different mailbox the same way you do on any other home lot.
Will other Sims visit my houseboat?
When a houseboat is docked in a port, other Sims will visit your home the same way they would any other home lot. If a houseboat is out in the middle of the ocean, other Sims will not visit your houseboat unless they're invited over, or they're there to perform a specific service (such as the Mailman, Newspaper Boy, Repo Man, Maid, etc). If you invite a Sim over or call for a service (such as ordering a pizza or calling firefighters), the Sim will take their own boat to get out to your houseboat.
Caution: Being out in the middle of the ocean means that it will take longer for other Sims to reach you.
How do my Sims get to work or school?
When it's time for a Sim to go to work or school, they'll navigate to the shoreline of the island that contains their destination and then take their normal carpool or school bus from there.
Can I have a garden on my houseboat?
There is no terrain on houseboats, so you can't build a normal garden on one. If you have the indoor planters from The Sims 3 Supernatural or the Stone's Throw Greenhouse from The Sims 3 Store, you can place that object on your houseboat and then grow harvestables inside it.
I used cheats to place trees on my houseboat but they aren't showing up, what do I do?
Trees aren't supported on houseboats. Don't use cheats to place them; there is no way to make a tree show up.
I used the "constrainfloorelevation false" cheat to edit the height of the deck of my houseboat. Haha, take that SimGurus!
First, that isn't a question. Second, use this at your own risk. Editing the height of the deck of a houseboat is not supported and may introduce unexpected issues.
Is a port without a gangway really a port?
Excellent philosophical question. The answer is a resounding "no". Without a gangway object on the port, houseboats can't be added to or docked at a port. The gangway is the important key to a port's functionality.
What happens if I download a custom world that has houseboats and I don't have Island Paradise installed?
I would recommend that you do not play in a custom world with houseboats if you don't have Island Paradise installed. There is a known issue where houseboats are not fully removed from a custom world created in CAW for players who don't have Island Paradise. Having these houseboat lots left behind with no way for Sims to access them may cause problems during gameplay.
What happens to houseboats I add to a world through Edit Town if Island Paradise is uninstalled?
If Island Paradise is not installed, upon loading your save file all houseboat lots will automatically be deleted from the world. All port lots will be converted to No Visitors Allowed type community lots.
What happens if Sims are on a houseboat and Island Paradise is uninstalled?
The game has various fail safes to preserve any Sims that were on a houseboat when a game was saved and then Island Paradise is uninstalled.
Your Sims:
1) Any Sim that you had that was on a houseboat will be reset to their home lot.
2) If your family's home lot was a houseboat...
• The family will automatically be assigned to a different empty home in the world.
• If no empty home is available, the family will be assigned to an empty lot.
• If no empty lot is available, your save game will be unrecoverable without reinstalling The Sims 3 Island Paradise. A notification will prompt you to return to the main menu as there is no way to fix your save without reinstalling Island Paradise.
Other Sims:
1) Any NPC Sim that was on a houseboat will be reset to their home lot.
2) If the NPC Sim's home lot was a houseboat, they'll be moved into what we call the "townie pool" - a group of Sims who you can call and who will visit the world, but do not live within the world.
HELP! My Sims were living on a houseboat and I uninstalled Island Paradise and now my Sims are completely invisible. What do I do?
First, don't panic. Your Sims are fine and can be recovered. When you first load into a save game after uninstalling Island Paradise and your Sims were living on a houseboat, there are a number of important steps to follow precisely to fix your Sims. Do this exactly as written:
1) Load your save file.
2) Once in-game, unpause and wait for your controls to feel responsive again.
• When it says "wait for your controls to feel responsive", what's really happening is that the game is updating a ton of information in the background to try and fix your game session since your Sim's home was deleted by uninstalling Island Paradise. Typically this only takes a few seconds, but it may take longer on slower machines. If you can smoothly move your camera around then the process is complete.
3) Open the menu and select "Save As" and enter a new name to create a new save file. I would suggest that you do not overwrite your previous save.
4) Return to the main menu after saving your game.
5) Reload the save game you just created.
6) Once you're back in-game, all of your Sims should be visible once again!
You'll see a (rather ridiculous - sorry!) notification message in-game explaining these steps, the contents of which I've copied here:
"Your save did not complete loading properly because The Sims 3 Island Paradise is not installed. To recover your Sims, unpause the game and wait until your controls feel responsive again. Once that finishes your Sims will be recovered but invisible. To fix this, create a new save file, then return to the main menu and load that new save file. At that point your Sims will be visible and successfully moved into a new home for you to play with."
Will other Sims living in the world drive their houseboats around?
Yes! All Sims living on houseboats will occasionally drive their houseboat to a different port.
Can I import other lots onto a houseboat?
No. When using Edit Town mode, the only lots that can be imported onto a houseboat are lots that were saved as a houseboat and are of the exact same size. Due to this, it's actually much simpler to take any houseboat from the Edit Town bin and drop it directly onto an empty port, rather than trying to place it on a pre-existing empty houseboat. Examples:
• If you create a "Barge, Small" houseboat and save it to the bin in Edit Town, it can be imported onto other "Barge, Small" size houseboat lots. You would not be able to import this houseboat onto any other size/shape/style of houseboat.
• You can not take any existing lot built on land and import it onto a houseboat, even if the size of the lot is the same as the size of the houseboat.
Can I import a houseboat lot onto other lots?
Yes! From the Edit Town bin, a houseboat can not only be placed onto an empty port lot, it can also be placed onto any lot on land that is large enough to hold it. When placed on land, the houseboat hull will be removed, and everything else will remain.
Can I share houseboats on the exchange?
Yes! Houseboats can be shared on the exchange.
What's the easiest way to add a houseboat from the exchange into my game?
After you've downloaded a houseboat from the exchange and installed it through the launcher, start the game and enter Edit Town mode. Find the houseboat in the Lot Bin, select it and choose "Place Copy". The map tags will now display any empty ports that exist in your world, and you can click directly on that empty port to add the houseboat to it.
If you need help adding an empty port to a world, please read the "Edit Town Tutorial" in this guide.
What happens if a player without Island Paradise downloads a houseboat from the exchange and attempts to use it?
Any houseboat in the Edit Town lot bin can also be placed onto a normal lot that's built on land. If you place a houseboat onto a land based lot, the houseboat hull will be removed and the building will remain intact.
Are there any community lot houseboats in Isla Paradiso or in the Edit Town bin?
No, the game does not come with any pre-built community lot houseboats. You're welcome to build your own though as community lot houseboats are fully supported!
Why can't I see into the basement of my houseboat from the deck?
The basement is automatically darkened when looking down into it from the deck of your houseboat because the basement isn't fully rendered from the surface. That way, the shape of the houseboats could still look normal.
How do I return my houseboat to its port?
There are a few ways to return a houseboat to its port when it's out at sea. You can...
• Click on the button next to your Sim's picture. This is normally "Return Home", but switches to "Return Houseboat to Port" when on a houseboat.
• Click on the helm, hull, or wall of a houseboat and select "Return Houseboat to Port".
• Switch to map view, click on the map tag of your port and select "Return Houseboat to Port".
• Click on the ground at your port and select "Return Houseboat to Port".
How do I move my houseboat to a different port?
There are a few ways to switch ports. You can...
• Click on the helm, hull, or wall of a houseboat and select "Change Port". When map view opens, select the port you want to switch to.
• Switch to map view, click on the map tag of the empty port you want to dock at and select "Dock Houseboat At This Port".
After you confirm your selection, your Sim will drive your houseboat to its new port.
Does it cost money to move a houseboat to a different port?
No. Your Sim's family does not own the port that the houseboat is docked at. All ports are considered public land and can be used by any houseboat at any time if it's empty.
Can I live in a normal home on land and use a houseboat as a secondary home?
Yes. Using the new private lot functionality you can now own multiple homes - which includes houseboats.
Can I dock a houseboat on a lot type other than a port?
Officially, no. If you place a gangway on a lot type other than a port, the game won't suddenly let you treat that lot as a place you can dock your houseboat. Unofficially though, you may be able to do this by trying the following...
1) Select the lot you want the houseboat to dock at and make it a port in Edit Town mode.
2) Add a gangway for your houseboat to dock at on the lot (see Edit Town tutorial elsewhere in this guide).
3) Return to Live Mode and have your houseboat change ports, and select the lot you just edited as its new port.
4) Once the houseboat docks at the port, return to Edit Town mode.
5) Click on the port that the houseboat is docked at and select the Change Lot Type button.
6) Change the lot from a port to whatever you want it to be.
7) As long as you don't select Change Port on your houseboat, you should conceivably be able to continue using the lot that your houseboat is docked at as your "port" lot.
Using those steps, you could for example... have a home along the water, and have your houseboat as a secondary home that's docked at your main home.
This method is not officially supported and you may experience unexpected issues when attempting it.
Is there an easy way to move my houseboat to a Scuba Diving area?
There sure is. While on your houseboat, switch to map view, click on a map tag of a diving area and select "Move Houseboat to Diving Area".
Why are the port lots in Isla Paradiso locked?
Considering you're reading this guide, you're now aware of some of the complexities of building houseboats. The port lots in Isla Paradiso are locked so that players don't mistakenly edit them and cause their houseboats to stop working with them. If you feel comfortable making changes to them after reading this guide, they can be unlocked for editing by...
1) Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the cheat console, type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks and press enter.
2) Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the cheat console again, type in "enablelotlocking true" without the quotation marks and press enter.
3) Enter Edit Town mode and click on one of the port lots in Isla Paradiso that you want to edit.
4) Click on the lock icon on the far right of the window that pops up.
5) Normal lot editing functions are now unlocked.
What happens if I use Edit Town to change the size/style of a houseboat that already exists using the Set Houseboat button?
Changing the size/style of an existing houseboat will delete that houseboat and create an empty one in its place of the new size/style you selected. Do not do this if you don't want to lose the current houseboat. The action cannot be undone.
You will not be able to do this if a Sim is living on the houseboat that you're trying to change. First use Edit Town mode to select the houseboat on that port and evict the Sim living there. You'll then be able to click on the port lot and change the type of houseboat on it.
Follow this step by step tutorial to learn how to add houseboats to any world in The Sims 3. The tutorial shows off adding houseboats in Sunset Valley, but you can perform these steps in any world that has an ocean.
1) Load into the world that you want to add a houseboat to.
2) Once in-game, open the options menu and select Edit Town.
3) Click the button in the bottom left named "World Editor".
4) Select a lot size from the bin. You're going to want to use a large lot that has enough room to add a houseboat on top of. Place it in the world so that it's partially over the water and partially on land.
5) Click the World Editor button again to return to the normal Edit Town mode.
6) Select the lot that you just placed.
7) Click the button on the window that just appeared named "Change Lot Type".
8) Switch to Community, and in the drop down box select "Port" and accept.
9) Select the lot which is now a Port, and click the "Build/Buy" button.
10) Enter Build Mode.
11) Select the "Platforms, Foundations & Decks" section.
12) You can select anything within this category with the exception of the Platform. This will be used to make the dock that the houseboat docks at.
13) IMPORTANT: When creating your dock, you must start to create it on the ocean surface and then drag it back onto land. This is the only way to ensure that your dock is at the correct height for a houseboat to dock at. If you do not create it by starting to build it over the water, you will be unable to place the gangway object.
14) If you correctly performed step #13, you should have a dock that's at the correct height above sea level. Ensure that the dock also connects to land so that your Sims can reach it.
15) Add stairs that connect your dock to the land so that Sims can route onto it.
16) Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the cheat console.
17) In the cheat console, type in "testingcheatsenabled true" without the quotation marks and press enter.
18) Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the cheat console a second time.
19) Type in "buydebug" without the quotation marks and press enter.
20) Switch to Buy Mode.
21) Select "Sort by Function".
22) Select "Debug" - it's a button that has a question mark on it.
23) Select the last tab named "Misc. Objects".
24) Find the object named "Gangway Style".
25) The gangway is a very large object, as it reserves all the space that all houseboats require. This ensures that any size houseboat can dock at any port. You may need to zoom your camera out to be able to place the gangway due to its large size.
26) Move the gangway over your dock. You'll see a large box appear in front of the gangway - this indicates all the space that the gangway needs to be successfully placed.
To successfully place the gangway, it must...
• Be entirely over the ocean water.
• Be placed in deep enough water (it can't be too close to the shoreline where the water is shallow).
• Be placed entirely within the confines of the port lot (it can't extend outside the lot).
• Be placed at the correct height above sea level (if you followed step #13 correctly this shouldn't be a problem).
• DO NOT use the "moveobjects on" cheat to place the gangway. If the placement isn't valid without using this cheat, then your houseboat will route fail when attempting to dock with it.
27) After the gangway has been successfully placed, I also recommend adding a mooring post and a parking spot to your port lot. This is not necessary, but will make it much easier to purchase a boat or a car when living on a houseboat in this port. Instead of having to find room on your houseboat for these objects, you can now click on a parking spot / mooring post to buy a vehicle directly from them. You can find these objects under the "Vehicles" section of Buy Mode.
28) Return to Edit Town mode once you're finished editing your Port lot.
29) Click on the Port lot again to select it.
30) Now that the Port lot has a gangway on it, it is now a fully functioning port lot and the "Set Houseboat" button is now available.
• If you simply wanted to add a functional empty port, you're all done.
• If you want to add a empty houseboat, continue on.
• If you want to import a houseboat from the Edit Town bin, skip down to step #35.
31) Click on the "Set Houseboat" button.
32) Use the drop down box to create the houseboat size/style you wish to use.
33) You'll notice that a houseboat is created on your port, and that houseboat has its own map tag. Houseboats and ports are two distinctly separate lots, even though they can exist on top of each other.
34) You now have an empty houseboat that you can build on or move your Sim family to. You may also switch the houseboat to any type of community lot you like using the Change Lot Type button; the same way you would with any other lot in Edit Town. The remainder of the steps are for users who wanted to import a houseboat from the Edit Town bin.
35) If you want to import a pre-built houseboat from the bin, you should have just skipped to this step from step #30. Continue on...
36) Select a houseboat lot from the bin to import and click "Place Copy".
37) You'll see the map tag of the empty port you created switch to a dock icon - click on it.
38) You now have a built out houseboat docked at a port that your Sim family can move to. You're done!
Big Thanks For SimGuruGraham..

A Strategic Full Service Ideation & Research Company
Are you having trouble finding new ideas and approaches to growing your business? Our A-Z blog posts are designed to give you 26 creative ways to find innovation inspiration to help move you forward. Yes, finding inspiration is as simple as flipping the pages of a dictionary to get you closer to finding that "home run" idea that will move the "dial" on your bottom line profits.
We are now up to the letter "U" in our Creative Thinking Made Easy: 26 Ways to find Innovation Inspiration from A-Z" book series.
"U is for Upside Down" /Upside Down Marketing – and what an interesting one it is! UPSIDE DOWN reminds me of my childhood, hanging from the monkey bars stretching out our arms as far as we could reach, trying to touch the ground. Or that special time I spent in the kitchen with my Aunt Lucille, watching her make a pineapple UPSIDE DOWN cake for a holiday dinner. What images pop into your head when you hear the words UPSIDE DOWN? Be sure to write them down because there is power in the associations it will create. Let's take a closer look at UPSIDE DOWN right now.
UPSIDE DOWN is defined as:
• With the upper part undermost so that the upper or right side is down
• In or into complete disorder
• Topsy-turvy
When thinking about UPSIDE DOWN Marketing,there seems be several emotions and adjectives that pop up – like excitement, mystery, and even confusion. Probably because it's so unusual, and definitely not your typical water cooler conversation:) But when I think of bats hanging UPSIDE DOWN there is an eerie, spooky mystery to these animals. Why do they sleep like that anyway? And what about the adrenaline rush and squeals of delight you hear when you're on a roller coaster and get flipped UPSIDE DOWN going around a 360o loop? Amusement parks make a big business out of providing this kind of excitement to the public. And then there's the juxtaposition of seeing something UPSIDE DOWN – maybe because it's just not supposed to be –that makes you stop, take notice, and try to understand what you've just seen.
As unusual as UPSIDE DOWN is, I do have a few examples of companies or brands that are using it creatively.
– Dairy Queen® – This popular soft-serve ice cream franchise is the home of the Blizzard, a soft-serve ice cream mechanically blended with mix-in ingredients like pieces of cookies or candy. Introduced in 1985, it has a loyal following and is known for serving super-thick shakes where the spoon stands up on its own. Rumor has it that its origins were inspired by the thick St. Louis concrete:) This point of differentiation is reinforced by serving the Blizzard to customers UPSIDE DOWN. It's become a part of the DQ culture and continues to amaze and delight its customers when served this way.
– Heinz® Ketchup – Remember the good old days when we had to pound the bottom of the bottle, or insert a knife into the neck of the bottle to get the ketchup to come out? Those days are a faded memory with the introduction of the first inverted squeeze bottle in 2002. Someone actually figured out how to store and dispense ketchup UPSIDE DOWN. Now it's faster, easier, and less messy to get the perfect amount of ketchup on your burger or your fries – a customer's dream come true!
– Topsy Turvy® – This is an example of turning UPSIDE DOWN into a totally new business! The makers of Topsy Turvy® have completely turned all the negatives of having your own vegetable garden UPSIDE DOWN by making it easier to water, store, and avoid pesky bugs and fungus by keeping it off the ground. It's the ultimate vegetable garden solution growing tomatoes faster and bigger than before.
So let's take a look at your business. How can we incorporate UPSIDE DOWN? Can it be a differentiator for a customer experience, can it solve a product problem, or can you create a totally new business? Yes, UPSIDE DOWN is a bit of a stretch, but if you take some time and kick it around, you may just find an interesting way to grow your business and increase revenues. And THAT's what these creative innovation tips are all about – ROI!

The Asbestos Narratives: A Report into the Real Impact of an Asbestos-related Diagnosis
This project was conducted by Southern Cross University to understand the social, psychological and economic impacts of asbestos-related disease. The researcher provides new insights and evidence into the social, psychological and economic impacts of asbestos-related disease in this report. It draws together the contribution of the project's partner organisations and the experiences of over sixty men and women who have been affected by asbestos exposure in some way. While historically asbestos-related disease research has predominantly focused on men, this research also focused on women who have been diagnosed with asbestos-related disease, and on women as carers, providing new and informative insights into how this debilitating disease impacts and affects women.
A copy of the report can be downloaded from this page on the Southern Cross University's website. It's an excellent report and well worth the read.

It was a Thursday when I walked up to the doors of Ark Crisis Child Care Center (Ark) in a suit. This time though I wasn't there for a board meeting.
I serve on the board of directors of Ark Crisis Center and thought I understood the mission in the work of the organization but I really didn't. I don't think you can until are in a situation where you need the help they are providing.
I thought the people who utilize the services were unemployed, low income mothers- maybe who were trying to get clean and sober. I am none of those things, but there I was at the doorstep of the center at 9:15 a.m. with tears in my eyes.
I had triplets Sept. 1, 2013. Several months after they were born, I was hit out of the blue with post-traumatic stress disorder from my tumultuous pregnancy that left me emotionally paralyzed.
One night I started crying uncontrollably because of the trauma I had experienced. After my husband came home from work I got under the covers and cried all night and didn't know how I was going to care for my babies and 4 -year-old the next day.
During this time I had a few people helping here and there with the babies who I probably could have called to come over. But I didn't need help with the babies; I needed help with me. I didn't know what to do, but I knew I needed the babies out of the house so I could cope with what was going on with me. I didn't want someone in the house watching them while I cried in my bedroom.
I don't know how I got through that first day, but by the second or third day it had gotten so overwhelming that I knew what I needed to do — take care of me.
I called Angie (the Executive Director of Ark and a friend) and told her I needed to bring the babies in right away, and without hesitation she said come right now.
I cried and cried as I dropped them off, not only because I was an emotional wreck but also because my ego could not handle that I was now a parent of an Ark Crisis Center child. My husband makes a decent income; we are educated; I drive a sweet van and wear matching work out clothes.
I remember Angie just hugging me and telling me all they cared about was taking care of the babies while I took care of me. My heart and my head were saying two different things; either way though I knew this is what I needed to do.
For several months I continued to take the babies to Ark when I needed respite. The teacher would thank me for bringing the babies and tell me how strong I was reaching out for help. There was a part of me that knew I was strong, but I also felt guilty and weak.
There were days when I would call and then show up in tears because I needed relief from the stress of the triplets. Several weeks would go by, and I could start to feel that stress and feeling of drowning return so I would call and bring them in for a day so the stress wouldn't get to the tipping point.
When I thought I didn't need the help, the occasional break and relief, the outcome wasn't great.
Months ago the babies were starting to teeth, and they were all crying and fussing all day for several days.
I had been feeling overwhelmed and our four year old was being four, and I yelled at him — like really yelled at him for the first time ever. I don't yell; I scared me and him.
The next day he wasn't listening, and I grabbed his mouth. This was the first time I'd ever put my hands on him in this way. I didn't grab him hard at all, but when I did it, I froze and immediately started kissing his face and lips. He didn't think a thing about it.
I walked away and started crying. I knelt down by my bed and started to pray.To an outside person this would have looked like nothing, but to me it was everything.
I didn't call Ark when I felt that drowning feeling coming back and that was what happened.
I eventually started to work very part time; I needed it for my sanity. I had an opportunity to work on a project once a week for eight weeks, and of course on the second week the babysitter called in the morning and was not able to come and I needed to be at work in an hour. My husband had a meeting, and I felt like I couldn't call in, I had just started this job opportunity, so I called Ark. I only needed care for the babies for three hours.
I walked up to Ark in a suit. All the other days I arrived either disheveled and in tears or in a T-shirt and jeans. I felt almost justified in that "uniform" of desperation. But in a freshly pressed suit and looking put together I felt guilty. All of this guilt I was feeling was manifested by me and only me. All they wanted to do was watch my babies so I could do what I needed to do.
I attended and still do attend fundraising events for nonprofits that serve the community. I dress up, bid on silent auction items, give them my money and leave. During that process I felt I understood their missions as much as I could. But now I truly know how important these organizations are for the people of our community as one of them has been so important to me.
I learned that you don't have to be poor, or uneducated to use the services of community organizations. You just have to have a need, and I can promise you that all they want to do is help. If you can put your ego aside (if you even have a problem with that) you can get the help you need.
Do you have a drug or alcohol problem and need help, but your ego is in the way? Do you have money and a job and think you are too good to go to treatment? Does your son or daughter need help with drugs/alcohol/bullying and an a local organization could help? Are you in an abusive relationship but won't get help because you think you don't fit the stereotype of a women in this kind of relationship?
I can promise you that you are not the first professional, college educated or your fill in the blank excuse that they have seen. Reach out for help; that's what these organizations are there for.
Also, I encourage you to support the organizations you are passionate about. They are saving and changing lives.
The organizations I feel strongly about and give to personally are Ark Crisis Child Care Center, Youth First and Project Reveal.
Ark Crisis Child Care Center
-A stress-less home is safer for children. Stress is a primary common factor in most cases of abuse. If you can reduce adult stress, the likelihood of abuse declines drastically.
-Ark is available to any child, aged 6-weeks to 6-years. There are no restriction on income or where you live. You do not have to be poor or live in Evansville to ask for help.
-Ark has helped bankers, politicians, lawyers, professors, teachers, DCS workers, police officers as well as the unemployed, homeless, drug abusers, convicted felons and many others. They all have something in common- they were parents and they needed help. We don't judge and we don't treat anyone better or worse than any other person.
Youth First's mission is to strengthen youth and families through evidence-based programs that prevent substance abuse, promote healthy behaviors, and maximize student success.
-The top reasons that students were referred to a Youth First Social Worker last year included anxiety, depression, anger, school behaviors, peer conflict, social skills, substance abuse, home life concerns, and basic needs such as food or clothing.
-On average, Youth First Social Workers are involved in 15.5 crisis interventions a week for potentially life-threatening situations.
Project Reveal: To provide a voice and community for women by encouraging them to be honest about their struggles, to inspire hope and to validate their journey by providing a forum to share their stories.
-According to the Psychology Foundation of Canada, self-regard is rooted in authentic self-understanding. Sharing our thoughts and feelings with other people and getting their feedback are great ways to increase our self-understanding.Research by pioneering Canadian-born psychologist, Sidney Jourard, has shown that self-disclosure is an important component of mental health.

Thank you for inviting us - we really did appreciate it. I must say I was really impressed by the Briar Ridge team - one of them (… Aiden) did a really great job explaining who they were, what they were about etc., and really took the time to give us the background on the person behind it all (Gwyn Olsen). He'd clearly immersed himself in the project, and I think she'd have been really pleased if she'd seen that. Happy to reach out and tell her so if you think it would help pave the way for future events.
I just wanted to express thanks and congratulations to all at Kenvale for the magnificent lunch provided on Thursday.
I have been to many hatted restaurants this year and can honestly say that they would have struggled to produce such fantastic dishes.
The lunch was a credit to your students and your staff. It would be a privilege to enjoy another visit next year.
Best wishes to your graduating students for success in their career and to your staff to continue to guide students to reach such a high standard.

|Indomethacin Impairs Coronary Perfusion in Infants with Hemodynamically Significant Ductus Arteriosus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21791936 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: A haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (HSDA) is commonly associated with morbidity in preterm infants. Aim: To study the effect of the first dose of indomethacin on coronary blood flow in preterm neonates diagnosed with an HSDA. Method: A prospective observational echocardiographic study was performed on preterm infants. A single study dose of intravenous indomethacin (0.1 mg/kg) was administered over 1 h. Serial echocardiography was performed before and after indomethacin treatment to study the effect on coronary artery perfusion and cardiovascular performance. Results: Eighteen infants born at a median gestation of 25.8 (24.2, 28.1) weeks and a birth weight of 773 g (704, 1,002) were evaluated. The median age at indomethacin administration was 7.5 days (4, 17). There was no significant change in arterial pressure or ventilatory indices. Left anterior descending artery diastolic velocity and time integral declined from 0.3 ± 0.1 and 3.19 ± 1.2 m/s to 0.22 ± 0.08 and 2.01 ± 0.9 m/s, respectively, within 10 min of completion of infusion. These indices showed partial recovery when reassessed after 60 min. There were no changes in left ventricular output or transductal flow. Conclusions: Intravenous indomethacin was followed by a decline in coronary arterial diastolic blood flow.

text: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's austerity measures were passed by 165-141 in the Italian Senate [EPA] Italy and Spain have passed new austerity measures as they battle to control their debts. The upper house of Italy's parliament agreed to introduce an austerity package which will cut its deficit by some $70bn (54bn euros) over the next three years. Protestors in Italy and Spain held a day of action against their government's latest austerity measures Spain's Senate passed a constitutional agreement to keep future budget deficits to a strict limit. The Italian Senate voted 165-141 to approve the measures, which the government had called as a confidence vote in order to speed its adoption in light of "the seriousness of the international financial crisis". The lower Chamber of Deputies will now vote on the measures, where Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi also has a majority. The value of the package increased from 45.5bn euros following hasty revisions prompted by markets concerned by a number of key provisions being eliminated due to political bargaining. Berlusconi's government backtracked on Tuesday and restored a number of those provisions, including a three per cent wealth tax. It also decided to raise the VAT sales tax and move forward pension reforms, despite a one-day general strike against the austerity package. The measures should help Italy bring its budget back into balance in 2013 instead of 2014.Tens of thousands of Italians took to the streets on Wednesday for a day-long strike against the measures, which include a rise in sales taxes and a revised wealth tax. Spanish debt limit Meanwhile, Spain's vote for a "golden rule" makes it the only country apart from Germany to have such a limit. The reform was widely expected to pass in the upper house as the Socialist government and the main opposition group, the centre-right People's Party, were both in favour and the lower house has already overwhelmingly approved it. Moves come amid a mood of increasing urgency within the eurozone to act to solve the debt crisis [Reuters] Some legislators walked out of the upper house in protest - 233 senators of 262 voted for the reform, three voted against - while others did not attend the session. The reform forces Spain to keep its structural deficit within limits established by the European Union, although it allows exceptions in case of natural disasters, a recession or emergencies.On Tuesday, thousands of union workers marched peacefully in Madrid to protest against the constitutional reform, which they said was being rushed through without sufficient public consultation and threatens social programmes. The Spanish reform comes at a time of high political tension across the eurozone. Also on Wednesday, Germany's highest court ruled that aid for Greece and other rescue packages is legal. But it also said parliament must have a greater say in any future bailout. And in another sign of movement, Greece stepped up its deficit reduction plans in the face of accusations it was stalling and France approved a 12bn euro package of budget savings, largely by clamping down on tax breaks.

Krishnamacharya Yoga Makaranda 1934
" In Shirshasana, normally no kumbakam (breath retention) need be done, though two seconds UNTHER (after inhalation) and BAHYA (after exhalation) kumbakam automatically result when we change from deep inhalation to deep exhalation and vice versa. During the automatic pause kumbhakam takes place. When after practice has advanced and kumbhakam is deliberately practiced, Unther kumbakam can be done up to 5 seconds during each round and Bhya kumbakam up to 10 seconds"
Krishnamacharya. Salutations to the Teacher and the Eternal one p17. (My explanations in brackets)
------------------------Here's Krishnamacharya introducing the headstand and it's approach as well as exploring it's variations and it's relation to the shoulderstand. Particularly interesting to look at his use of breath in these postures.
But first my Introduction to the text from first post in this series....
I was passed this document recently called Salutations to the Teacher and the Eternal One purportedly by T. Krishnamacharya. I received it from two sources. one asked me to only share it with somebody who asked directly and I've respected that. I've since received the text from another source with no conditions attached and so have decided to share it.
Peter Sterios mentions the text in a Yoga Journal article, For beginners, Balasana
In "Salutation to the Teacher and the Eternal One," a paper written by T. Krishnamacharya and distributed to students at the Yoga Mandiram in Madras, he says: "One important thing to be constantly kept in mind when doing asanas is the regulation of the breath. It should be slow, thin, long, and steady: breathing through both nostrils with a rubbing sensation at the throat and through the esophagus, inhaling when coming to the straight posture, and exhaling when bending the body."
and Shandor Remete mentions it in his book Shadow Yoga
"… During this time, I also had the good fortune to receive some of the early writings of Sri T. Krishnamarcharya of Madras. Among these, one short work has influenced me profoundly: Salutation to the Teacher and the Eternal One. It has been this book more than any other that has helped me to decipher and understand the ancient hatha yogic texts in their fullness…"
However, since receiving the text I haven't been able to confirm to what extent, if at all, it was written by Krishnamacharya. At times there seems to be a mixture of styles, was it perhaps a series of notes by Krishnamacharya for a book project that never materialised and ended up being passed around among students of KYM, who in turn added notes to the text. Or perhaps it was lecture notes written by Krishnamacharya for a course at KYM presented by someone else who then responded to questions from students.
Either way it's a fascinating document.
Here are a couple of sample pages, the full 41 page text can be downloaded from my Googledocs page.

This is the GenRight Off Road Full Corner Guard Set for the Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited. These are a direct bolt-on and a perfect upgrade to better protect your Jeeps tub without adding a lot of weight. This model is an ideal choice for anyone who is weight conscious wanting to armor up their trail rig or cover previous damage. This model is an ideal choice when stretching your rear axle back to keep the wheel opening centered over the re-located axle. Why do you need that? So you can maintain that clean factory look and be able to re-mount the rear flares.
Made in the USA!
Here are some similar items you might be interested in

- Wheel opening is 4" further back towards the rear of the Jeep.
- Laser cut from 3/16" thick 6061-T6 aluminum alloy.
- The 90 degree bend is formed with a single "hit" die on a CNC press brake to assure this product matches the shape of your Jeeps tub.
- Stock wheel opening "shape" is retained to fit a stock TJ fender flare or the GenRight metal tube rear flare and remain street legal.
- Each set of panels has the factory mounting holes laser cut in for the tail lights, tailgate hinges and gas filler to make installation quicker.
- The mounting holes are pre-drilled and countersunk (GenRight uses 2 more mounting bolts than other brands) to secure the corner to the tub.

- This product requires drilling of the body/tub to properly mount them.
- The stock rear flare mounting holes have been removed from these panels. If you are installing rear flares, you will need to drill new mounting holes in the corner guard panel.
- Wheel openings (on corner guard and body) can be trimmed to fit bigger tires.
- We do not make a model specifically for Hi-Fender flares, the wheel openings will need to be trimmed to match the tube flare by the installer.

Published at Wednesday, August 21st, 2019 - 04:19:20 AM. Vanity. By Ranger Aucoin.
If you are revamping your entire bathroom, you need to ensure that you don't leave any stone unturned. If you have a higher budget, you may want to hire an interior designer to do the designing for you. Most people look at saving space in the bathroom. A very good way of saving the space is by using the wall mounted bathroom single vanity. Most single vanities have a single sink and so the name. As a buyer, you will be exposed to different types of them in the market.
First, decide if you would like to have a single sink or double sink vanity. A single sink vanity, as the name suggests has one sink, while a double sink vanity has two set side by side and hence the later is larger. It will automatically eliminate quite a lot.

emma is a name that resonates with beauty, with simple sophistication.
it conjures thoughts of the jane austen novel, of my lovely friend at yoga, and actually, of gwendolyn's birth name, as bestowed by the breeder. i changed it from emma to gwendolyn because Sir Henry's last name ended with " – da." if i married Sir Henry, gwendolyn's first and last names would rhyme. i couldn't do that to her.
when my friend gifted me with the pink elephant statue from the antique store that i've obsessed about for nearly a fortnight, i couldn't think of the perfect name. i thought, "what does one name an elephant?"
i suggested, "dominique, francesca, rosabella," complying with my nine-letter name rule. i have an obsession with the number nine.
and he suggested, "emma."
then my brain took-over, "no no no, not emma. four letters? elephants are fat. my yoga friend'll think there's a connection. there's not. she's so skinny. but the statue is beautiful to me. emma is fitting! what will others think? will they draw a connection? am i poking fun at jane austen? at my friend? what do elephants eat? how many peanuts? calories? did i eat more on binges? so gross. i ate more than an elephant. i'm fat. let's pick francesca."
and my friend promptly interrupted this inner, sickening dialogue.
he's good at this. he must have read my crazy mind. in his reserved, philosophical way, he stated, "when i bought this elephant, my attention was drawn to its hind legs. feel its legs. observe its legs. they're muscular. they're strong. when someone thinks of an elephant, they think of monstrosity. they think of fat. but this animal is strong."
strong. the verbiage of strong and healthy are not things that eating disordered minds fancy hearing. strong and healthy are synonymous with fat, right? how many of you have contemplated driving over a bridge after gaining a few pounds, a few pounds of muscle, after a bout with anorexia, of months of starvation, only to hear that you "look healthy" because you ate a few nutrition bars and lifted weights to please the "doctors?"
i still remember the time and place when that happened to me. august of 1999. at that point, i thought, "i've already screwed up my day of calories, so what the hell? let's keep going." and my bulimia surged out of control. i kept eating. then i got rid of it. and i didn't stop for 11 years.
recovery of the eating disordered person involves defeat of perceptions, stereotypes, and prejudices. before announcing my bulimia through this blog, i interacted with the world as two people. i was the happy yoga girl maintaining a normal appearance on the outside; but on the inside, i was the bulimic monster, constantly guessing about what other people thought of me, valuing my self worth on reading the minds of others.
why do we care? why do we hurt our bodies and minds to please others, when, in reality, very few others actually care? most of my friends didn't understand bulimia until this blog, and many still do not. other people are not concerned with what i'm eating and how much i'm exercising. 'twas a lonesome world and battle that i created within myself.
in compliance with my theme on the real me, i encourage you to experience one day, interacting with society, turning off the toxicity that exists in the world, presenting your heart first, being KIND. when conversing with your neighbor, don't think, "she thinks i'm fat. she wears a zero. she's older than me. i have work to do, but i'll get there. i'll show her." rather, think of something good about that person. appreciate her. and appreciate yourself.
and as for my elephant? i named her emma.
