Know Your House…
Welcome to the first instalment of tenant talk – Giving agents and investors an insight into the mind of tenants
Moving in/Moving out……I've just moved house
It has been the usual nightmare
Finding a house, packing, moving, cleaning, organising the exit reports it's the long road to getting out of one property and into another.
Tedious to say the least!
– But this time I have come across a challenge that I have not faced in the past. Over the past few years of moving I have become quite skilled in the level necessary for a bond clean. I have my tips and tricks and generally have come out from my bonds unscathed but this time I'm worried
– The current owner of our property has painted walls in the house using feature paint but has applied only one coat over the undercoat. Then as we have gone to clean off the usual bumps from tables and general living in the property and have removed the paint. It's happened on every wall where they feature pain has been applied. Even using lamb 's wool cloth and sugar soap has caused paint removal
– Trying to be a good tenant, I have called the RTA to gain guidance on this issue. It seems that it's at the agents discretion as to if they will claim it as fair wear and tear or as damage. This is where things can get messy. Because of the arbitrary nature of peoples individual opinions, leaving decisions about wear and tear or damage as an open ended problem means that it causes undue stress all round
– As the tenant (and I don't speak for all of us just me) I respect the house I live in. I pay good money to live somewhere nice because I like living somewhere nice. I make sure that I pay a professional cleaner fortnightly to come and keep it clean. I don't just willy nilly damage walls and if I do I'm prepared to fix them. This problem however looks to be an inadequate application of paint in the first place, which from the get go is not my fault as the tenant. I have done the right thing in cleaning and have now encountered problem
So how can it be fixed? We will talk to our agent and ask that he see our side, that he takes the time to understand that we were doing the right thing and circumstances beyond our control have meant that there has been some minimal wear to the paint work. I hope we can mediate a solution
What is the bigger lesson?
- Tenants – if you find these issues during you tenancy – TELL YOUR AGENT IMMEDIATELY. It could save you heart ache later on. Wipe over any suspect walls before you fill in the entry report and email your agent about the problem expressing your concern
- Agents – take the time to listen to the concerns that your tenants have and if issues like this arise, mediate a solution that works not just for your owner, but your tenants
- Owners – remember that this is an investment that people live in. It's going to get bumps and bruises as it gets used. Part of why tenants pay you rent is for the reasonable up keep of things like paint and carpet. Invest in a quality job that is durable and can stand the test of time and if you don't lower your expectations that you brand new paint job will last forever!

I have a 2000 ls 3.9 I bought a few years back with 100k miles. I've done timing chain tensioners (uppers only) that I thought was a rod knock or spun bearing but an easy fix, water pump, brakes, coil packs, alternator a real bitch, valve cover gaskets, clockspring, tierods, bushings, ball joints, torque rods, hubs and bearings, fuel pumps, dccv which still didn't fix it lol, and some other things. The only thing I had a shop do was rebuild the trans and I was told by a computer whiz at a local speed shop the manual trans from the 6 cyl can be made to work in the 3.9 but I can't be sure.
She now has 207k miles and doesn't burn a drop of oil or leak any, always synthetic. If you can do the work yourself these are really good and well balanced cars that will last if you take care of them.

So yesterday before I go to the Caps game my hubby decides to mow the lawn. As he is mowing the lawn I just happened to look outside the bedroom window and see the lawnmower on fire. I with my
brother in law take buckets of water to put out the fire we have a fire extinguisher that did nothing. The blessing is hubby didn't get hurt. At least he did finish the lawn before the mower caught fire. I'm not sure what caused it to go up in flames. It was a used mower we had for awhile. Now we will be purchasing a new mower soon not a used one.
So after that drama ended I go to the Caps game which is the last game of the season before the playoffs. The Caps lost to the Predators.
Rumor has it that the Caps will not have to play the Penguins until we are playing for the Stanley Cup. Of course this is what I have been hearing floating around the rumor voices. I think it has something to do with how we and the Penguins are placed on the chart. And if that is true then that would work in our favor and maybe, just maybe we can get passed the dreaded second round. The second round has always been our death. By the time second round comes I'm ready for the straight jacket. During the season I'm calm and cool but as soon as playoffs hit I'm a basket case. Of course this is all rumor about the Penguins so we will see if it is true.
I will take some time before I go to the Caps game and go to Kettler to watch the guys practice. I just not sure when.
As I sit on my back porch today enjoying this warm weather I'm reminded just how blessed I really am.

Apple Cider Honey Caramels Recipe
These honey caramels were inspired by a jug of freshly pressed apple cider from our local orchard. I loosely based them on a family favorite honey cream caramels recipe, but instead of using heavy cream, I used half as much apple cider. They were so delicious that they were eaten up within 24 hours! If you do have leftovers though, you can keep them in the refrigerator for a week, or freeze for longer storage. … Continue reading

Sometimes the ballsiet defenses are the best.
Richard Gasquet was up for a two-and-a-half year suspension after testing positive for cocaine in his system during the ATP stop in Miami.
He and his attorneys went with the Jimmy Buffett defense — some people say that there's a woman to blame. Gasquet said he would never roll up a $100 bill and snort Peruvian powder, but there was this girl in a nightclub in Miami and they were making out and she had done cocaine so some of what she had done must have transferred to his system. The old cocaine contact high theory.
And it worked. An international tribunal of lawyers who decides such things noted that the amount of cocaine found in Gasquet's bloodstream was so small it could not have come from recreational use (that or he's just really, really bad at it) so this story seemed plausible. And they apparently just plain liked the guy. The tribunal reduced his suspension to essentially time served (a couple of months).
Now he can return to the court where he is regarded as a talented underachiever who can't seem to focus and concentrate — oddly, kind of things you'd expect of a guy with this kind of lifestyle.
This ruling could lead to a rash of athlete blaming women in clubs for their problems. Manny Ramirez got female fertility drugs in his system because he was at this club in Los Angeles and there was this woman. Plaxico Burress didn't shoot himself in the leg, there was this girl in a Manhattan nightclub. You get the idea.
But be warned, what a French tennis star and his team of lawyers can get away with and what you can get away with when trying to explain something away to your boss are two different things. Don't try this excuse with your girlfriend.

If they're that insistent that it be part of some sort of recognized standardized do-hickey, then they can just wait until XML is widely implemented. I think that special elements/attributes for different interfaces shouldn't be required to put into the specs, and that XML probably covers this. -------------------------------------------------------- [ Jordan Reiter ] [ mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com ] [ "You can't just say, 'I don't want to get involved.' ] [ The universe got you involved." --Hal Lipset, P.I. ] --------------------------------------------------------

Camping Holidays - Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of camping holidays begin with adventure. A family can go wherever they want and camp there for as long as they have. From a camping base, a family can go for walks out into the wild and see nature in its true habitat. They can also make their way over to huge lakes to fish or swim, and if they find an adventure park they can spend the day zip lining around the trees as fast as they can go, which is fun for everyone.
This is also where the disadvantages begin, however, because some people like the routine they have and don't want it disturbed by living in a tent for a week or two. Sometimes there are no shower facilities and people will need to use a solar shower, which isn't a problem for most, but some people could feel self-conscious about their body when using one. Toilets are another big disadvantage if a campsite doesn't have the facilities provided, as people will need to go and dig themselves a hole to use, or use a communal one, which many consider being worse.
For others the freedom of being in the outdoors outweighs all disadvantages relating to homely comforts such as showering and using the toilet. They also enjoy not being able to use their mobile phones, as these are an invasion which can ruin a holiday if someone is using theirs constantly. Whilst camping, people will also be away from the thick smog of the city, something many consider to be unhealthy. The great outdoors has nothing but fresh air, and most people consider this a huge advantage of camping holidays.
To break it down to a list of the core advantages and disadvantages, this is what most people think of camping.
1) Adventure
2) Seeing Wildlife
3) Clean Air
4) No Mobile Phones
5) No Internet
6) No Traffic
7) No Interruptions
1) No Toilet
2) No Shower
3) No Food Provided For You
4) Living In A Tent
5) Bugs
6) Little Or No Electricity
7) Nothing Much To Do If You're Not Adventurous
In conclusion, the advantages and disadvantages of camping seem to be entirely based on opinion. What people need to realise is that camping can be great fun as long as everyone is involved in enjoying themselves, because once someone isn't having fun, the trip is ruined. If worst comes to worst, building a huge camp fire and staying up late into the night is something everyone enjoys doing.
Emma Darling and her family have been on many camping holidays with both of her daughters, which is why she knows so much about them. For her the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but she really wanted to give people a breakdown in this article to help them decide. She has written lists like this before for Dorothy and Theodore, and found this type of article best for getting the points across to the reader on these subjects.

...curious syntax and miscellaneous crimes against grammar
"He took me aside one day and asked what a relatively well-educated person was doing digging his
Jerusalem artichokes," says Marot.
After that, Rice let Marot use his studio but advised him against working in the industry. In 1977, Marot and his band, Pools of Sound, nearly clinched a record deal with Virgin. "They did the usual
thing I'm now in charge of," says Marot. "They came to see the band and talked to us for months about what they might do with us and plans we might have.
"But then fate dealt a double blow. Punk burst on the scene, and Marot was hospitalised with a bout of toxoplasmosis, which he caught gardening. "The kind of jazz/rock/fusion we were doing was no longer wanted. Basically, the Sex Pistols killed me," Marot says.
He recovered from his illness but was told by the doctor to give up manual work. So Marot took a job in London working behind the counter of Our Price records in Hounslow. "It was a small, funky operation at the time and we were the smallest shop. We used to call it the `meager-store,'" Marot says.
Marot secured a job with a small publishing company after offering to work for free for six weeks. But his real big break came when he was offered a job as a talent scout for Blue Mountain, an offshoot of Island.
"I immediately said: `Yes'. It was Island and I desperately wanted to work for Island," says Marot who, with his brother, had been a collector of the label's records for years. What he didn't know was that Blue Mountain was also the personal company of Chris Blackwell, the place where he stashed all his favourite assets like Marley's catalogue, Free and U2.
"He was pissed off that they had hired someone he hadn't met and instructed the guy who did it to tell me to go. But he didn't," Marot recalls. He was fobbed off for weeks with a "trickle of excuses" as to why he couldn't start work.
Frustrated, he eventually just turned up and asked for a telephone. "About three days later, Blackwell summoned me to his office. My living legend was just about to fire me before I'd even started," Marot says. In the
event, Marot was so full of ideas for the company that Blackwell was bowled over. Instead of giving him the sack, he doubled Marot's salary and appointed him managing director of Blue Mountain. Marot took charge of Island when PolyGram, which was owned by the Dutch electronics giant Philips, took it over nine years ago.

I would have loved this book when I was at University and trying to break into the music industry, and I am sure others would too.
I got asked about my story last night, which sparked this idea, and the chap seemed genuinely interested. He then told me of his failed attempts at getting into Journalism, despite winning an award for work he'd done. Which was why he asked.

my poor baby last night when to sleep not feeling well and i am hoping that when she wakes up she will feel much better. i hate when she is not feeling well. today if i have the money i am going to get her something at the store. but if i cant get it then i will wait til my next check.
another thing we are doing for our anniversary next week is going to go see the new harry potter movie. i cant wait. i love those movies and so does patty its something she wanted to do so we are going to do it.
hopefully i will have enough money for everything because i dont get a check next week because of my accident i got into last wednesday. i wrecked a moped cause i had two dogs chasing me and i almost hit a truck. it was scary. but i have whiplash and a concussion from it and a lot of bruises and bumps. having a hard time with work too cause my back and legs are messed up. i tried to go back to work the other day and only made it 2 and a half hours and the room just started spinning on me.
i got a picture of my sister yesterday on my phone. i cant believe how much she has grown up. i feel like i have missed years and years of her life. i hate being away from her. but i know i have to live my life and be happy too. michigan just wasnt making me happy. i love my family up there and i wouldnt give them up for the world. but i love north carolina and i absolutely LOVE patty. i would do anything for her. she is my everything. my life. everything i have ever dreamed of in a relationship. she keeps me going and makes me want to live from day to day. i still have my depression but i havent had the thoughts of dying in a year now. i waited so long for patty to come back to me because i was stupid and left the first time. god i love this woman. i really never thought i would get a second chance to show her how much i truely love her but i was wrong and here we are together and happy and i wouldnt give that up for anything. i want to grow old with patty and take care of her and make sure she gets what she wants and what she needs. one day i want to marry her. i want to put that ring on her finger and say i do. she is so beautiful to me. i hate when i go to work because she is not with me. i hate being away from her. i love her so much i just want to be with her all the time. i dont care if people say its not healthy to be around someone ALL the time that is what i did with her for the first year almost and now i have to work and i am away and i hate being away it kills me i miss her so much when i am not home. i just want to wrap my arms around her and never let go.
just makes me wish i could put her in my pocket and take her where ever i go.
anyways patty i am 100% in love with you. you mean everything to me. you are what keeps me going every day. without you i would be lost. i was before you got in touch with me a little over a year ago. i was very lost and very confused. i did everything the years we were apart to find someone atleast a little bit like you but i never found anyone. you are too beautiful and too smart and too loving. i will never find that in someone else. you make me feel needed and wanted and loved. something all the other guys and girls i have been with have never been able to do. when you smile when i walk in the door from work it makes me feel like i am special and that i was missed while i was away. even if it is only for a few hours. i love spending time with you. before we were together i loved being alone. i slept most of my days away and i didnt care cause i had nothing to really look forward too. but now sometimes i hate sleeping cause i never want to miss one moment with you. and i hate being alone. i miss you way too much when we are apart.
please always remember patty that you are my life. you are my world. and without you i would be lost. i never want to lose you again. and i will do anything and everything i can to keep you in my life for as long as i can. i believe you are that one person for me. im just sorry we lost all the years we did because i was being stupid and stubborn. we lost a lot of time together that we could have had growing closer and stronger.
i love you baby. now i have to stop writing because for one i am crying lol. yeah me big baby lol. and two if i keep writing no one will want to read it because it will be too long.
i love you hunny. and so happy we are together.

sitting wondering what to do. i just want everything to be okay. i love them both. i just want this to work out. i dont know what to do. i mean am i suppose to forgive and forget? am i suppose to stay angry? help me. things just dont seem the same now that we are all talking again.
it seems like i am losing a battle i shouldnt be losing. i work hard to make her happy.
i work hard to keep things equal. i just want things to be happy again. i want to know what everyone wants. i want to live my life how we were before when everything was okay. it seems like they are both distant. but i could be wrong. why dont i talk to them? because i dont want anyone upset. i want everyone happy and not angry or hurt anymore.
pregnant? maybe but who knows. hoping to be pregnant? yes and no. i just dont know where i want to go with all that right now. my dream is kinda been shattered but not really. i want a baby so bad and i know he does too. but i dont know if i can trust him again. i want this to happen i really do but i want to know he is going to be faithful from now on. i want to know he will talk to us if he has a problem. but can it be a guarentee? probably not. he says he got rid of the phone number but do i believe? i dont know. we werent here we didnt see him throw it away.
now things are just quiet. no arguing no talking no nothiing. everyone doing there own thing. its just not the same. i hope it gets back to normal soon. i know i pissed her off last night. i didnt mean too. just kept getting asked what was wrong and finally i said something and she got upset and that was not my intention at all. she thinks she shouldnt give him any attention at all. but thats not what i want. i just want things to be equal. i want her to have fun like that with me too. i dont know. am i asking to much? i need help. i dont want to lose either one of them. i just want things to be good.
maybe my thinking is wrong but its how i have been feeling lately and i hate it. i just want things to be normal again.
l love you both very much and hope things turn out for the best.
i dont want to lose either one of you and well i just dont know how to talk about it without hurting someone.
please if you read this come talk to me.
love you very much with all my heart. forever.

this weekend is coming fast im getting excited but im nervous too. i havent been to a church in a long time. and i havent seen my friends in like a year and a half now i think.
i met this girl and i really like her. i hope i will get to meet her soon. i know i am not suppose to be with women but it feels right and it is comfortable to me. maybe things will change i dont know but right now i am very confused and i do what feels good and right.
i wrote to one of my old youth leaders yesterday on myspace i hope to hear from her soon. i miss talking to her.
i hope her and the family is doing good. they moved a long time ago and i havent seen them in years now.

not sure what to say
my feelings on a lot of things are not to good. there are certain situations i have been in and now i see i did some of them to myself. im just meant to do wrong i guess. no matter how hard i try i mess things up. most things werent my fault, i see that now but... somethings like down in north carolina with the people i was staying with there, that was my fault. i never should have gotten involved like i did. i got way to close to them. i asked to get hurt. i didnt ask for everything that happened but i basically walked myself into it all. it seems like i was wearing a blindfold and walked right into it. exept when i took the blindfold off i stayed instead of leaving.
i am tired of the moodswings. i was fine and now i just want to runaway. im tired of this. i just want one mood all day long. no switching moods and thinking about krap. i just want one peaceful day.
tomorrow is work im not looking forward to it right now at all. i dont want to deal with the crazy schedule that i have to get things done. i dont want to deal with my other manager coming in the next morning and giving me all the krap he always does. he is always negative about everything. never says anything positive. he is never nice. he doesnt care what we go through all night long trying to get things done. he just cares that there is one peice of paper on the floor or a french fry accidently left under a table. we have 5 hour to get the entire store clean and do all the prep and its only me and one other person all night long.
wednesday i have to go to mental health for my meds and then off to the gym
im sitting here alone once again and my brain is going a million miles an hour. i have so much to think about. and chance in my life that need to be made but i am so afraid.

its been a long time
its been a really long time since i have wrote so many things have happened. i have moved several times. i have been in trouble with life, i have been in and out of hospitals and been put on many different medications to try to help with the issues i have. i have lost friends and made new ones. i have finally figured out that i dont belong in certain places or with certain people. i have come to the conclusion that meeting new people is not for me. i cant trust them anyway.
i have gone pretty far in my job. i am a manager now at mcdonalds and i love it. i love the people i with. my store manager is an awesome woman. she has been there for me many times.
i have also reconnected with an old friend of mine which i now consider to be my best friend. she understands how i feel and is trying to help me. she never puts me down and makes me feel like i dont belong even though i try so hard sometimes because thats what i am use to. my fear of being rejected is horrible.
i am going to georgia in the summer with my roommate and my sister. but until then every month i will be taking a three day weekend to go up north to see my friend elizabeth and go to her church. i know i need to start going again. i was doing so much better when i was going to church and i was living in georgia, everything turned around for the worse when i moved to south carolina and it just kept getting worse from there. i made some bad mistakes in my life and chose to go the wrong way and it has made my life very hard to live.
the state wanted me on disability they think i am not capable to work a full time job. they dont think i can handle the stress. i am trying my hardest i have to say its not always easy but i work through it day by day minute by minute if i have too. sometimes everything is fine and sometimes i just want to cry but who doesnt have bad days?
i live with a few people right now. i like it where i am. everyone is really nice and i feel like i belong. which is nice because i havent really felt like i have belonged anywhere in a long time. the only place i usually feel comfortable at is the hospital but i know its not a good place for me to feel safe and comfortable.
i will write more later.

got some stuff done today
wow i am proud of myself i actually got up early and was able to do some things around the house like i said i would do. i didnt sleep real well though. something kept waking me up. and i have been having a lot of problems with my back lately. i wake up really stiff and in major pain, it goes away after a few hours but damn it hurts.
well its storming out so i am going to have a lot of fun driving to work. its scary driving in storms when you are alone. well atleast to me.
i have to close tonight kinda sucks cause i will miss dinner. oh well not really having much of an appetite today anyway. i dont know why though. stomach is just not real good right now.
i am going to schedule next thursday off work so me and mom can go to the clinic. im glad we have a free clinic i cant handle no more bills going to collections. i cant pay the bills that i have now. i dont make that much money.
i have thought about going to burger king and applying again. i know i could get my hours there and i would make more money that would be better. i want to talk to mom about it first though. i am tired of switching jobs but i am also tired of barely making any money and working my ass off. i deserve more. i have been working since i was 12.
i am off to work now. gotta leave early so i can get there on time. im so scared i dont want to drive in this shit.
cant wait til i get home tonight and can relax.

feel like bitching
gus seemed upset when he brought up the i have wednesday off. he said i see how it is. you get the day off that i have to work. he gets all kinds of time at home without me here shouldnt i get time without him in the house? most of the time i get alone i steal the laptop and take it to my room at night around the time i would be going to sleep so i can have a lone time. but why cant i have time away and be able to sit in the living room and watch tv or play a game or something? am i wrong by wanting that?
lately he seems like he is in a bad mood a lot. am i doing something wrong again? all his jokes are just getting on my nerves everytime you ask him for something he is a smart ass and says no. and even though he still brings it it just gets annoying. or when you say something he says liar. he laughs at his own damn jokes. i for one dont really think they are funny but thats just my opinion. i can handle jokes and having fun but oh my god all the freakin time? ahhhhhhhhhhh i just want to scream at him to quit sometimes. i dont want to be mean to him though.
i think this is part of the reason why i cant spend time with him a lot. and the whole sitting next to each other shit. i would be able to if he would quit touching me all the time while we are sitting together. i have talked to him about this too. am i stupid or what? do i need to be a bitch about it for him to understand that i dont like to be touched all the time? i dont want to be but shit its irritating.
i dont know what put me in this mood but it sucks. i should be sleeping. but i cant. i just feel like going away right now.
i was trying to leave the ana groups tonight but i couldnt do it. i thought about asking mom if she would help me. i know i shouldnt be in them. i know they arent healthy groups for me. i was stupid to join cause i knew when i joined i wouldnt want to leave. mom wants me healthy and she doesnt want me to die i knw that if i got into my eating disorder to bad and lose to much weight i could die. i dont want to do that to her. i want to be here with her for as long as i can. i love my mom and i dont ever want to hurt her like that.
work was ok but my boss bitched about the night before saying we didnt do all this stuff when i know damn well that we did. i dont know what her problem is but she needs to stop. she has me doing practically everything in that fucking store and all i get is bitched at? what is up with that shit? i know i could get a job somewhere else but i am tired of switching jobs all the time. i thought about going to burger king cause i know i can get more money there and i would have all my hours and my two days off a week. maybe i will look into doing that and just stay there. i think i can get insurance too. that would be cool. i really need medical insurance. i need some kind of sleeping pill and something for my back. maybe a muscle relaxer would help both. i could take one of those at night and it would relax me to go to sleep and to help my back not hurt so bad.
well i should be off to sleep so i can be awake enough to work tomorrow.

bad mood today
today was crazy we had all the party subs to make and i had to deliver one and it was nuts. my boss sent me to the wrong place and the manager didnt even know what groups of people were there it was stupid. i was really getting mad. finally get back to work and my boss left and we were busy for lunch. i tried to help clean up and then it was time to go
i am going on day three with a migraine i think i have a pinched nerve in my neck i think thats the main reason why i am in such a bad mood.
gus has been acting weird lately. i dont know whats going on with him exept he is upset about his family. took me forever to get that out of him. i asked him three times if something was wrong and then i caught him crying in his room. i asked him again and he said dont worry about it, its not about us. somehow i think he is having a problem with us and he just wont say. i dont know though.
he kinda scared me tonight. i saw him get mad and it really scared me plus he told me next time lawrence hit him he would knock him out. i understand he doesnt want lawrence to hit him but why dont he just tell him to quit? i dont understand. i just hope he doesnt start to get mean. this realy is scaring me.
i dont want to be afraid and maybe i shouldnt be but i am. hopefully he is just having a bad day and it will pass.
i cant wait til friday we are gonna go to cicis pizza buffet maybe we can go walking around some stores after to walk off some of the food i will need to. last time we went to lowes after we ate and i looked 8 months pregnant i hope that dont happen again. i know it probably will though.
john came over he said he wanted to talk about the money he owes mom but he wouldnt come in cause he is to fucking lazy to take his shoes off. he said he would call to talk to her about it but he never did go figure. no surprise there. hes a jerk i hope he just goes away and leaves us alone.
anyways good night

well today went kinda rough. samantha and dejares were total assholes they both had attitudes all day long. i have had a headache since i got up this morning i wish it would go away but it just keeps getting worse. i took a muscle relaxer at work today and i am still wide awake. it didnt help me at all, maybe what they gave me wasnt a muscle relaxer maybe it was something else. some little purple pill. made me shakey and everything was blurry for a while. felt kinda cool. but it still didnt help my headache. wish it would have helped.
wanting to go on a diet again. but not sure how that will go, everyone says i dont need to go on a diet. billy wants to gain weight. wish they was my problem. but i can gain weight like krazy and i have hard time losing it. i wish it was as easy as gaining weight that would be nice.
i have to work everyday but sunday this week. i am exhausted right now im sure ill be tired by the end of the week. i should be sleeping but i have been so into the computer its not funny. been working on my group and checking emails and writing emails and talking on messanger.
billy might come work with me at subway. i hope he can then we wont have to worry about him getting a job and he can start helping out. that will be cool. maybe we will all be able to save up money easier after he starts working.
i hope gus finds a job soon too. especially if we are talking about having a baby he needs to be working. im excited about having a baby and i know my mom will be excited when i get pregnant. she wants a grandbaby.
i guess i should go to sleep

well moms friend christina had her baby. mom wants a grandkid now and i have wanted a baby for a long time too just havent realy said much about it. i have talked to gus a little about. when he was still in florida he said he didnt want any kids until he got married but now he says he only wanted to wait until we got to know each other better.
i realy want to have a kid. i realy do. im so afraid though that i wont have the patience and i will get frustrated. i used to with catalina. what if it were to happen again? i know mom will help me. i know she will be here for me. but im still afraid.
well today i have been living here for a year. i havent been kicked out. that is realy something for me. everyone usually throws me out and doesnt want anything to do with me after only a few months. i was so scared when i moved down that i would be hated, and im still here. i am so glad i am still here. i have gotten really close with my mom. she may not be my real mother but i sure wish she was. she has been here for me more then anyone else. and i will be here for her too whenever she needs me. i wish i could give her back everything she has given me and more. i dont really talk to mom much anymore about stuff but i dont really get time alone with her unless we go to the store. sometimes i dont want to talk cause i dont want to make her mad. sometimes i want to talk about how i feel but i dont want mom to worry or get mad. i dont knw why she would get mad i always think i will make someone mad. i have thought for a while that i was just messing things up and that i would end up having to leave. i dont know why i guess just cause my moods have been going crazy and i dont know what to do.
i think i am doing better with having gus around now, it was realy weird at first but now i am getting used to it. i am even considering him starting to sleep in my room but i have to get a bigger bed first. i am trying to spend time with him and talk to him i do think i am doing better about that. it just takes me a while.
so i have been learning a lot at work and i should be a manager. why cant anyone give me management? it really does get on my nerves at times i should be making more money and be able to do more. like getting the breaks done on gus's car and helping with the bills more then just the groceries
i gotta get to sleep

upset and venting
i feel like a total ass hole. im a bad girlfriend. mom suggested me tell him to go back to florida. i dont want him to. i do love him. i guess thats hard to see and thats my fault. i have tried to talk to him. yesterday for instance i asked him all day what was wrong and he kept telling me i dont know. what was i supposed to do. and then well i had a nightmare and i guess i flipped him out or scared him or whatever. i didnt do it on purpose. he can talk to mom and he can talk to lawrence but he cant talk to me. the reason for that i dont know. i have tried talking to him. i have told him several times if you need to talk to me say something. i cant read minds.
should i just say forget it and stay single forever? i dont want to but i dont know what to do. i dont like being touched all the time which i guess is a problem. i met him not that long ago and im sure he has a problem sleeping in the middle bedroom. i make him feel like shit. hes told me so on that one. i dont know what to do. what let him be all touchy feely with me all the time and just deal with not feeling comfortable? i just cant handle it all the time.
i guess he told mom that he doesnt even know if he should sit next to me or on the other side of the room. i dont mean to make him feel that way. but again why does he keep all this from me? why not come and talk to me. write me an email. do something. instead he waits til i go to sleep or am gone at work and talks to everyone else.
i dont really get to talk to my mom just me and her anymore cause he is always around. im not saying i dont want him around. i just wish sometimes i could talk to my mom without him being in the room. maybe im being selfish. i probably am.
the part that bugs me is he lays in his bed and right when i get up he gets up. like yesterday morning i woke up at 7. was gonna check my email and go back to bed. there he was. when i told him i wasnt staying up he left. but every morning when i get up for work he is right there. i feel like i have to have a babysitter or something. it drives me crazy somedays.
i dont make anyone laugh anymore its seems like. he is always the one cracking jokes and everything. which i guess is another thing that bugs me. sometimes i am not in the mood for jokes. he will sit here and make a joke out of everything. his little sound effects and thinking everything is funny. it just gets on my nerves at times. im sure i probably get on everyone elses nerves to but this is just how i feel right now.
maybe i should be the one to go away.
i help out a little but not that much. if he goes then there is no car to get anywhere and i dont know it just seems like i am doing everything wrong lately. its probably just me though. i dont know.
i just want to talk to my mom. i want to sit down just me and her and talk.
i should be quiet now i have already said enough.

today was ok we were busy at work but not as bad as yesterday me and jessica got the store very clean today. i had her scrubbing everything and anything she could see. anyways my boss was happy when she came in. so thats a good thing. i have to be at work to open tomorrow and get trained. and friday i think will have to open by myself kinda scary if you ask me. im so afraid i will forget to do something or mess something up.
we had biscuits and gravy for dinner they we really good. i wanted more but it was all gone. i made scrambled eggs to go with it. anyways everyone liked it.
gus is freaked out cause he says he doesnt know what to do about us he says he wants to get close to me but he feels he cant. i dont know what to say. i try to of course people may think i dont try. i cant help being like this. i am afraid. im afraid of getting close and having something bad happen again. i am so scared i cant even begin to explain. he said he got so upset about it today he got sick. i asked him all day long what was wrong and he said he didnt know. i finally got it out of him tonight though. and once again i told him im not a psychic and if he needs to talk to me then he needs to say something or even write an email.
anyways other then finding out what was wrong with my boyfriend my day was fine. im not all that tired cause i got a lot of sleep last night.
im off to bed now. so i can get up on time for work tomorrow.

today was rough
got trained on a lot of paper work and computer krap at work today. she is training me for all the stuff a manager would do but she wont hire me as a manager. kinda makes me mad but i am glad she wants me to know how to do this stuff. i get tomorrow off and i am going to try to get some sleep. like maybe more then 6 hours would be nice. atleast i dont have to worry about getting up at a certain time tomorrow. i have been pretty bad about getting up on time lately. i have to be at work at 850 on friday i really hope that i get up on time. hopefully i will be able to do this getting up early shit. ugh i hate mornings but i do like to be home at dinner time. i like to spend time with mom and everyone.i think its cool. i used to never be home for dinner. and i always ate by myself but now i havebeen able to sit down with everyone and eat and watch our show while we eat and talk and everything. its cool.

i am tired but i dont want to go to sleep. i want to stay up. i hate when i am tired but wide awake. i wish i didnt have to be at work until 12 tomorrow. instead i have to be there at 11 then i think my boss gave me thursday off so i could get some rest so i can get up and be at work at 9 am. i know i will be tired that day. but at least i get home at 3 and then get the weekend off. yayyyyy i can drink all weekend. maybe i will find some money to get enough alcohol for this weekend.
anyways i should try to get some sleep. i dont want to be tired at work tomorrow. i hate when i am tired and have to work. i dont feel like doing anything. i just want to lay on the floor and go to sleep. cant do that though. wonder if i will end up working at the cayce store this week too. i never know where i am going to work. im so confused. i get scheduled for one store then my boss calls me and tells me to go somewhere else.
oh well atleast i am starting to get more hours

im sorry for everything
I messed up. I have been depressed for a while and its just been getting worse and worse. I know it wouldnt have if I would have talked to someone about what has been going through my head. I dont know exactly what i did but my mom is mad at me. I didnt mean for her to feel bad. I wish i could take it back. I just decided since I was depressed i would go in my room. probably a bad idea. i know i get worse when i am alone. I want to talk to my mom about this but im not so sure she wants to talk to me. I want to tell her what is going on and how i am feeling. but i cant talk to her in front of others.
gus said this whole three weeks has been krap for him. maybe i should stay single. i feel like i am a horrible girlfriend. i dont mean to be. im just having a hard time with it thats all. i love him i do i just dont know what to do. im afraid of getting close im afraid of letting him know everything about me. im afraid of it all.
Am I messing everything up? I just hope everything gets better soon. I hope i can talk to my mom and make everything right. I hope she will forgive me for the way i have been

not really here
yeah well i went to sleep at around 5 this morning. but i couldnt stay asleep i kept waking up and then i finally decided to get up at around 12 i was so worried about getting my 8 hours of sleep before work that i couldnt sleep i think. i dont know. ugh i hate when i cant sleep i get so frustrated. i went to work and we were basically dead all night. i found out the ms janice changed the hours and we close at 8 on sundays instead of 9 i was happy for that. i dont know what i would have done for another hour of just sitting there. i talked to my cousin and told her everything here is ok and my mom and i werent coming to georgia. i also found out that tony which is my cousin edes husband decided that my other cousin punkin needed her ass kicked. he tried to hit her but she ended up putting him in the hospital. i am so mad that he did that.
i am so glad that mom and lawrence are doing better now. i dont like seeing my mom upset like that. i just wanted to cry. i did cry when i was alone. i just wish i could have helped her feel better. im just glad thats all over now.
i have been getting really irritated a lot lately. i dont know why. i have been getting stressed out and depressed over the littlest things. i wish it would quit. i just really dont know whats wrong. i wish i could talk about it but i dont know what to say. the only person i want to talk to is mom but i have no words. ugh its making me mad. i just want to feel better.
oh well im off to bed gotta be at work at 12 and have to call the landlord about our dogs in the morning. that will be fun hopefully everything will work out.

Building a Modern Entry: Approach, Context + Concrete Details
At any major residential renovation or addition, the design of the exterior approach, access and entry area is a significant component that should reflect the overall architectural concept, while relating to and engaging with the surrounding context.
At this modern addition in Laguna Niguel, the hardscape design and detailing was conceived accordingly, with slabs and low walls located to complement the new facade, incorporating a low-maintenance material palette of stucco, concrete and basalt tile inlay.
The staggered forms of the pads create subtle movement at the ground plane that extend into the landscape to follow the natural slope of the terrain. This creates a more organic progression towards the entry that highlights the horizontality of the midcentury aesthetic.
The antique flamed 4"x24" field-cut stone adds color and texture at the acid-etched concrete, providing visual breaks at the driveway, while the expansion joint below helps to prevent surface cracking. For further continuity, this detail also occurs at the walkway- again to break the pads, as well as to underscore the shadowline of the 3" stair tread cantilever, created by a gap at the nosing of the concrete.
For more on this project, take a look at the design process and initial concept, and view renderings and construction images at the portfolio page. Also, find updates on demolition, framing and exterior finishes at previous blog posts.


text: Last month marked the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Like many others who grew up with the Harry Potter series, the fact that it has been twenty years since Harry was first introduced to the world has made me feel both very old and very emotional. If you're like me, you've spent the years since the series ended alternating between rereading the series and trying to find new books to read that will bring back that sense of wonder and excitement that Harry Potter inspired.

Flint, Michigan has been the center of the media's attention for weeks as the water crisis continues to grow. Tracing the problem back to 2014 when the city decided to cut costs and cut ties from Detroit's municipal water supply and began using water from the Flint River. Without the proper treatment, the city's water began to contain traces of lead back in September.
With lead and rust levels reaching an incredibly unsafe level, the attorney general,Bill Schuette, has released a statement concerning the bathing of children.
"I would certainly not bathe a newborn or infant in Flint water"
During the same press conference, Schuette announced that two new investigators would be looking into the Flint Water Crisis. Former Wayne County prosecutor Todd Flood and retired Detroit FBI chief Andrew Arena will be analyzing evidence to decide whether or not there were laws broken at the state level.
But, along with most tragedies, there are people who are committed to helping out and righting a wrong. Countless celebrities and athletes alike have joined the cause to donate bottled water to the Flint area. Detroit Lions DE Ziggy Ansah donated 94,000 bottles of water last week, 1,000 times as many bottles as the number he wears on the field. Also, Jimmy Fallon has pledged to chip in $10,000 to the cause.
Happy Sunday!! I'm donating $10,000 to https://t.co/JqAiRlCWrS. How about 10 friends match me? #WaterForFlint
— jimmy fallon (@jimmyfallon) January 24, 2016
The latest offering of help has come from Diddy and Mark Wahlberg-backed water company, AQUAhydrate that have announced their contribution of 1 million bottles of water for the long-term rehabilitation of the Flint area. With an initial donation of 5,000 cases of water arriving this week, the Southern California brand will be working with Homeland Security, the Red Cross and other organizations to make sure the water is well distributed.

Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 3
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 NEXT
I agree with this review boring sums it up, I think the people who overly like AC 3 are the people who like Farmville but wish it was M rated with more blood in it.
Yeesh, why is everyone being so insulting to people who like Assassin's Creed 3?
That goose saying je suis napoleon really made me laugh for longer than it should have.
OT: I have to agree, the whole banking and business running that they introduced in AC2 was just tedious and annoying and broken.
I liked the actual mission in AC2, they were fun and assassin-y and less repetitive than AC1's.
Also, I loved those climbing missions in the old buildings in AC2. Sure, they weren't about stabbing people, but they were really fun. Make more of those.
I never really cared that much for Desmond, although I didn't hate him either, but the ending in this game is particularly bad whether you care about him or not.
The thing with exploring how people's words and intentions will always get twisted by radicals over the passage of time felt like it could have gone somewhere interesting, but it didn't (that was another running gripe with me throughout the whole of this game, it had lots of little allusions to themes running throughout Connor's story, but then didn't really pay off on any of them). You just get to watch as, in the space of about two minutes, the extremely disappointing (not to mention confusing) explanation of what the magic maguffin at the end of the tunnel of mystery does in relation to the Big Threat (which sort of them winds up just not happening). Then, the player gets to see, with no control over the situation, Desmond make what can only be described as objectively the worst possible decision he can make. 'I'm totally going to throw away my life in order to release this God-Like entity that obviously hates me and wants to see all mankind wiped from the face of the Earth, because I have a hunch that somehow she'll be able to prevent the natural phenomenon that will wipe most of mankind from the face of the Earth'. Then it just ends, with no further resolution. It's the worst ending I've ever seen to a game, including the pre-EC ME3 ending.
I just want the next Assassin's Creed to take place during the French Revolution. Lots more excuses to stab people. Big city to freerun around in and so much fucking happens! Probably more significant to world history than the American one but don't tell that to any american, they can't stand it when they arn't the main character.
I've only played AC2 and Brotherhood. I'm reluctant to try the first game because the improvements brought by the second game that aren't in the first will likely color my overall opinion. But while I had fun with Brotherhood I had a sinking feeling that the game was heading in a direction I wasn't down with. And part of that feeling was the shitload of money you get.
Really, the only game that balances money well of late has been XCOM: EU. There're always things that require money that will improve your forces, and deciding between what to get is part of the challenge.
It's a shame they ruined this series so much. Assassinations in amazing and unique environments. It's a great idea. How did they get to point where they decided an action adventure game set in colonial America was the best way to proceed?
Um... like it or not, some people rip on others who like [insert game title here]. I like JRPGs. The games I like and us fans, get ripped on constantly around here. I know Halo and COD fans (I am not one of them) are ripped on incessantly as well.
*looks up from Halo 4*
Yeah, we rip on each other (I'm a halo fan) and then get ripped on by everyone else. It's a circle.
See that's another thing that annoys me: no. It is not worse, or even as bad as Mass Effect 3. Watching your entire family slaughtered before your eyes before being burned to death isn't as bad as that games ending. And you certainly couldn't even begin to try and compare AC 3 to it. Really it just feels like people are comparing it to that game like it's a fad, which makes me angry cuz we're spoiling the lagitament rage over that games ending. It's like how saying something is like Hitler totally kills your argument and at the same time psychologically makes Hitler seem less bad because of the misuse.
My reasons for saying it's not as bad as Mass Effect 3 is... well... we all played AC 2, right? We all saw the ending to that one? And the ending to Brotherhood? And the ending to the first game for that matter? Bullshit endings that come out of nowhere and make no sense and feel like they were pulled from the writers ass is sorta Assassins Creed's thing. "Oh shit we're at the ending and the writers got into the coke supply!.... well, might as well launch it anyway. I mean are you seriously telling me you were surprised by that ending? To be honest, it met my expectations, even if it was a bit anti climactic.
Also I object to the "he made the worst choice" point. The alternative to freeing Juno and maybe saving the world is objectively better then not releasing Juno and dealing with the unavoidable inarguable fate of genocide. He had a good point is all I'm saying, at least with the Juno thing people will have a fighting chance! (also paves the way for future sequels) Yeah it made no sense how Juno saved the world, but like I said, it's Assassins Creed aka the video game version of Lost. It ended the only way it could have ended: really stupidly.
I'll be honest, I just about shot salad out of my nose at the "What is it with you and NOT STABBING PEOPLE?!"
Best part in any recent ZP.
I was really looking forward to him mentioning something along the lines of "The Faff heard 'round the World"
Captcha- "Purell: describe this brand with any word(s)" Your Answer: "Not for use as a personal lubricant." *hopes Purell decides to put this line on bottles so I can laugh and tell people I came up with that warning*
Thanks for tearing this a new one. I should have realized something was up when I couldn't find a way to get rid of the tidal wave of money I accrued in Brotherhood.
And I'm the kind of player that can never have enough power-ups.
This may be the first time that I've genuninely been unable to tell if he, on the whole, liked it or not.
He spend most of the time complaining about the side-stuff and lodged a couple complaints against the story, but he never said if he still liked the parkour/assassination gameplay, or the ship mission gameplay for that matter.
Amidst all the complaining about stuff in past games, he did make it clear that he liked them, all the way through to Revelations. For this one, I'm not sure.
I usually scoff at people when they say something along the lines of "So, did he like it or not?" Now the shoe is on my foot I suppose.
So what's next? Cave man Assassin's creed? Maybe the big twist in the end is that Desmond Miles' point of view is actually genetic memory being re-lived by Zorg Darkstar a martian assassin in the year 3,000?
Agreed, this would make a great game. However now that they've wrapped up desmond's story, they'll have to do it like in Assassin's Creed III: Liberation on the PS Vita,a documentry without any connections. This to some extend seems to deaden the plot though.
You go, Yahtzee. You go.
I remember when a game about assassins had stabbing people. Planning the approach, the escape route... good times.
Now it's mini-games, and even on the off chance that there is an assassination it's just: walk up - cutscene - done.
Assassin's Creed 4: Desmond Files His Taxes. In stores Nov. 2013.
On a more serious note, this review pretty much sums up why I'm done with the series.
My favorite part in the first game, and really the only good part, was planning out how to get to the target and take them out.
Then, in the second one, my favorite part was when you're tasked to kill the four templars that are in various areas around town. You know roughly where they are but exactly how you approach them and take them out is up to you. For pretty much all of the other story assassinations, it's less a chance to use your wits and more an exercise in following directions.
Then Brotherhood was even worse about this.
Haven't picked up Revelations, because of this, and now AC3 seems to be more of the same.
So, I'm pretty much done. All the interesting assassinations are in the first 2 games, so I might as well just play them.
Assassins geese, would play.
I'll admit that I did find myself a bit bored in the middle section where all Connor (who I did find rather uncompelling as a lead character) did was be someone else's courier occasionally delivering death lol
but the stabby parts were good if you were to decide to skip all the FarmVille stuff and start taking out forts. personally the naval missions were a bloody blast to play 0.0 like holy crap it was Pirates of the Caribbean goodness haha
I'm just thinking about my buying patterns with the AC series.
AC1: bought new on sale for 30 bucks after a friend recommended it to me. Game was a bit repetitive but I was hooked.
AC2: bought day 1 and enjoyed it a lot. Mini games where kinda refreshing because it broke up the stabbing but never hindered the game enough for me to get upset.
ACB: bought day 1 and thought it was decent but that the story/gameplay was getting weaker. I also dabbled in Multiplayer which was fun for an hour but incredibly repetitive
ACR: bought USED day 1 (from gamefly) because I was starting to believe that the AC series was in the decline. I got bored halfway through and stopped playing it for months. Later I finished it but it was extremely lackluster. Also the tower defense minigame was so annoying I damn near thought that the series couldn't go any lower.
AC3: Rented from gamefly day 1 and sent it back after 3 days of playing and got bored around 9 hours in. It got to the point where I was looking for stabbings but guess what, you can't stab civillians like you used too in AC series (with them telling you not to or get de-synced) and it made the game seem like assassinating is the last thing they wanted you to do.
Overall I think I will treat the AC series like I do madden, just buy one every 4 years or so to see enough change to warrant the cost.
Exactly. Playing as Ken Dodd, stalking victims armed only with a tickling stick, a book of sentimental songs and a lexicon of aging one-liner jokes (all weapons upgradable in-game). I presume you could also recruit and train up Diddy Men to help you in your goal of taking over Liverpool, whilst thwarting rival comedians and taking over the best variety halls to further spread the Cult of Dodd.
I'm in :)
"I'm Just bored. Which is a first for the series." -Yahtzee
I'd say it's relatively clear he didn't like it.
The reason he didn't talk much about the parkour and assassinations, I assume, is because a large part of his point is there isn't enough of them in the game. They may be great, but if the bulk of the game isn't about them, they can hardly stop it from being poor.
Yes I know that it happens a lot, so why is it ok?
loll I haven't finished the campaign in AC3 because Halo 4 came out. well I also didn't finish AC3 because I got involved in the sofa business =.=
given I didn't *have* to do it, but I wanted to upgrade my ship...seriously I'd play a whole spin off where you spend half the time in naval battles, boarding enemy ships, bombarding enemy forts, leaving your ship to infiltrate a coastal fort to take out their cannons and...okay I'll stop lol
Huh. This echoes my sentiments fairly well. The only thing he didn't mention was the motherf*cking 'full synchronization' system, which is as much fun to borderline obsessive compulsive blokes (like me) as a safety pin right through the bell end.
You mistake my intent. I'm not saying it's okay. I'm saying it's not just AC fans.
Here. While I don't always agree with Bhaalspawn, this video makes sense here:
Money couldn't be gotten out of my wallet fast enough if there was an Assassins Creed that let you explore the genetic memories of Ken Dodd.
That's really just it. AC should be a game that only gives you a target, and then it's up to you how to approach and disappear efficiently. Instead we got something very linear and piss-easy.
I got bored the very second the farmville game was introduced, so I ignored it and all other mini-games outright. Needless to say my character was actually poor and very underpowered, so the game was actually considerably difficult without having a mountain of money to spend on upgrades and the whatnot. This also made the final naval battle at the end of the game extremely difficult. And I was confused by the liberation missions because I the game didn't make it clear what the rewards were. So I also never ended up expanding my assassin crew either. I just tore thru the game in what would essentially be hard mode, and still overall, wasn't too difficult.
Also I was really expecting Yahtzee to talk about Connor to out-bland Desmond in this review. For such a tragic and involved backstory, good god most bland character ever.
In future game can we play as Rebecca or Shaun? They're actually interesting.
I actually enjoyed the game, sure there are fewer targets than the last games, but it had toher stuff to keep me interested (the fort/naval missions, liberating different regions, exploring the frontier etc)
Althought i will have to play it again, kinda rushed through it so i could get to the end xD (not in a bad way, just wanted to know how they ended Desmonds Story)
So the historically significant goose line made me shoot coffee out my nose.
Man, am I glad I waited! All of this was my problem with Revelations, and I ended up practically hating Revelations as a result. We were so loaded down with excessive crap to deal with the inexplicable 1500s musket snipers there that it wasn't about quietly sneaking around, infiltrating, stabbing here and there, or occasionally letting them live to their eternal shame when the silly fool in the stupid hood runs past, blood on his chest, going "neener neener, just stabbed up your boss, nothin' you can do about it, you're probably gonna get fired!" I quite loved planning out my routes, noticing guard patrol patterns, and generally trying to be as much of an actual assassin as possible. At least through Brotherhood they left in enough stabbing that you still got to do it. I'll still play this one, though, but I'm glad I waited for it to move down the line.
Mad mad mad props to Yahtzee for referencing Subbuteo

(CBS News) How many times have you seen people in the street, texting or talking on a smartphone with their head down?
They can be a serious danger to themselves and others. Now officials are trying to stop it.
This spring, in Fort Lee, N.J., Police Chief Thomas Ripoli dusted off an anti-jaywalking law that had been on the books since the 1950s. He told his officers to hand out $54 tickets to deter people from crossing the street illegally while texting. In his suburban community, located just outside New York City, 40 pedestrians have been struck by vehicles already this year.
Ripoli said, "People are texting on their cell phones and iPods and not paying attention."
A number of municipalities have tried other methods, from a no-texting ordinance at crosswalks in Idaho to painted crosswalks in Delaware, and padded lampposts in London.
Injuries to distracted walkers have quadrupled in the past seven years, according to emergency room numbers, and that's likely a low estimate because either patients don't admit a cell phone was involved or doctors don't include that sort of detail on hospital reports.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 1,152 people wound up in hospital emergency rooms in the last year for injuries caused when walking and using a cell phone or electronic device.
Safety experts say distracted walking is a growing problem. Professor David Schwebel, who studies the problem at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said, "If you're on the phone, if you're text messaging, if you're browsing the internet, our research shows that that increases your risk of being hit by a car."
Using a virtual world, Schwebel and his team can gauge response times - and human error - when crossing the street and texting.
When asked what's happening to the brain when you're texting and walking, Schwebel said, "Walking actually involves a fair amount of complexity. Our brain has to work hard to make sure we walk safely, especially near traffic. Our brain also has to work hard to text message. It has to think about who you're reading, how to respond, how to type. Brains can only handle so much. If we give the brain too much to do, mistakes can happen."

Vadodara: Every morning Radha (name changed) says a prayer thanking God that she is still breathing and might live through another day. The 35-year-old terminally ill Naswadi resident from Chhota Udepur district is an AIDS patient and developed abdominal tuberculosis along with a number of viral infections. She is among those many victims who never found a chance to live normally through anti-retroviral treatment (ART).
Radha was diagnosed with AIDS after her skin started erupting into lesions due to a viral infection. While her husband and son subsequently tested HIV positive, she became a victim of social stigmatization because of the very visible effects of her multiple disorders.
The prevalence of HIV-AIDS patients in the tribal region poses a great hurdle in controlling the transmission of the virus and registration of new cases, doctors at the SSG Hospital claim.
According to records of patients coming to SSG for ART and their follow-ups, many families with multiple HIV positive members exist in the tribal areas, most of whom are not diagnosed early. This is leading them to perpetuate the ongoing HIV epidemic.
"Radha's 42-year-old husband left her to fend for herself and their son and she gradually stopped her treatment. Unfortunately, cases like hers are common in the tribal belts. There is a majority of patients who discontinue their treatments posing a threat of spreading the virus," said Dr Y S Marfatia, head of department of skin and venereal diseases at SSG Hospital,
"Adolescent health programmes are yet to make an impact on the population that is largely illiterate. Most HIV carriers are unaware of their condition and spread the disease to their spouses and then children. We devote in a lot of time to convince patients to take the test. HIV virus can stay in the human body without causing any trouble for years, but the infection can be transmitted to another person," said Dr Mohammed Hussain, who handles HIV patients at SSG Hospital.
The department is working towards 'Getting to Zero: zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS related deaths' - in an attempt to bring down the cases of failure to follow-up and last stage detections.

A mysterious wave of text messages swept America's phones while many slept, delivering largely unintelligible missives from friends, family and the occasional ex.
Friends who hadn't talked to each other in months were jolted into chatting. Others briefly panicked.
The best explanation seems to be that old texts sent in the spring suddenly went through.
Two people said they figured out the original messages were never received. It's not clear why this months-long delay happened.
Phone companies have blamed others and offered no further explanations.
Stephanie Bovee, a 28-year-old from Portland, woke up at 5am to a text from her sister that said just "omg" and immediately thought something had happened to her newborn nephew at the hospital.
She started calling everyone. Her sister and her sister's husband didn't answer. She woke up her mom, freaking her out. It was three hours before she learned that everything was fine and the text was an odd anomaly.
"Now it's funny," she said. "But out of context, it was not cool."
Bovee figured out that people were getting some of her old texts that failed to go through when her sister and a co-worker both got texts that she had sent in February. The text her sister received wished her a happy Valentine's Day.
Mobile carriers offered unhelpful explanations for the weird-text phenomenon, which appeared to be widespread, at least according to social media.
A Sprint spokeswoman said it resulted from to a "maintenance update" for messaging platforms at multiple US carriers and would not explain further.
T-Mobile called it a "third party vendor issue" while Verizon and AT&T did not answer questions.
Marissa Figueroa, a 25-year-old from California, got an unwanted message from an ex she had stopped talking to - and then he got one from her as well.
Neither actually sent them last night, both said.
Figueroa couldn't figure it out, even worrying that her ex was messing with her, until she saw reports of this happening to others.
"It didn't feel great," she said.
"It just was not good for me and my mental health to be in contact with him."
In another case, two recently reconnected friends spent half an hour from 5.30am on Thursday working out the confusion about arranging a share ride.
Several back-and-forth texts and help from a screenshot cleared up the situation. Can their relationship recover? One said it was "confusion, then awkward, and then funny." No mixed messages there.
