How the family behind the Danny Did Foundation learned about SUDEP and embarked on a mission to ensure every family who can benefit from a seizure detection device can gain access to one
Mike: Apart from the booming thunderstorm that rumbled through Chicago on the day of his birth, my son Danny's entrance into this world was relatively uneventful. His first couple of years, too, were fairly normal. He easily hit the early milestones: crawling, walking, talking. And, as much as is possible in the first two years of human life, he exhibited a warmth, compassion, and intelligence in line with that of his older brother and sister.
Danny was an engaging, social, athletic little boy. He loved playing baseball and delighted in zipping around our block on his bike. He chased lightning bugs on warm nights in the summer and dressed up as a Power Ranger for Halloween. He enjoyed music—Taylor Swift's "Our Song" and Kenny Chesney's "Summertime" were among his favorites—and he was fearless, flying as high as he could on the swing set in our yard. He liked to sport tank tops and flip-flops, his go-to hairstyle was a buzz cut, and he was the main man when it came to helping our neighbors carry groceries in from their car.
Danny was also wildly affectionate, and there was no one he was more devoted to and tender with than his mother, Mariann. They were joined at the hip, pinballing through our neighborhood together. He was her constant wingman and she was his biggest fan. When Danny played baseball—at the park where diamond #1 is now designated as "Danny Stanton Field"—Mariann was always there.
As far as we knew, Danny only experienced a handful of seizures during his nearly 5 years. And they all happened while he slept. His first seizure occurred when he was 2. He was asleep next to Mariann while she read a book in bed when, suddenly, his eyes rolled back in his head and he began to shake. We dialed 911 and then rushed him to our next-door neighbor, a paramedic. Danny seized for almost 10 minutes, after which point we brought him to the hospital. While there, he underwent a battery of tests, but no cause was identified. We were told, simply, that seizures in children sometimes just happen, and that Danny will probably outgrow them. Even so, from that night forward, I slept by his side.
As Danny continued to experience seizures while sleeping over the next few years, he was put on a variety of seizure controlling medications, and regular EEGs were performed. His neurologist diagnosed him with Childhood Seizure Disorder, but still assured us that this was something Danny would likely outgrow. Day-to-day life continued pretty much as normal. Bikes were ridden. Baseball games were played. And through it all, Mariann and I persevered, trusting the doctors, trusting that we were doing all we could to keep Danny's seizures at bay, that we had all our bases covered. I continued to sleep by Danny's side, so I could intervene if he seized, and be there in his time of greatest need. Never once did his doctor utter the word "epilepsy," and he certainly never alerted us to the possibility of SUDEP.
"I continued to sleep by [Danny's] side, so I could intervene if he seized, and be there in his time of greatest need. Never once did his doctor utter the word "epilepsy," and he certainly never alerted us to the possibility of SUDEP."
–Mike Stanton
A few months before Danny turned 5, he hit a milestone: one whole year of no known seizures. Shortly thereafter, we took him for a scheduled appointment with his neurologist and Danny underwent a one-hour EEG while he slept. The results showed that he still had abnormal activity, but less so than on previous EEGs. This was progress, we were told. Time and medication had done its job, and Danny was cleared to go back to his own room, back to the bottom bunk of the bed he shared with his brother. The news was like a rebirth for us. Our course of action had been successful and we were elated.
Four nights later, after a ceremonious return to his bottom bunk, Danny seized in his sleep and was found unresponsive by Mariann the next morning. She brought him to me and I attempted to resuscitate him. Over and over again I begged him to breathe, but he was gone.
As you can imagine, Danny's passing incited an enormous ball of rage, depression, unease, and hopelessness to form inside me. Even today, ten years later, each of those emotions remains at various stages of resolution. They say the passage of time facilitates acceptance, but all I have come to accept is the fact that heartbreak, and all its accoutrements, is very simply something that requires continuous management. Even so, the concept for the Danny Did Foundation came to me just a few days after his death, when I was completely consumed by this one, nagging thought: if only we'd had a device that monitored Danny's seizure activity while he slept. Then maybe, just maybe, it would have alerted us to his final seizure, and we could have tended to him before it was too late.
"They say the passage of time facilitates acceptance, but all I have come to accept is the fact that heartbreak, and all its accoutrements, is very simply something that requires constant, continuous management."
–Mike Stanton
A week later, when a reporter from the Associated Press called and asked if I'd given any thought to Danny's legacy, after speaking on autopilot for 30 minutes about Danny's life (clearly still in a state of shock about the fact that he was no longer here) I unexpectedly found myself saying the following: "I am planning on starting an organization in Danny's name that will assist people who suffer from seizures while they sleep and will work to prevent the deaths caused by those seizures." And though unplanned, once I'd uttered the words, there was no turning back. One month later, Mariann and I founded the Danny Did Foundation.
Tom: Our mission at Danny Did is simple: to prevent deaths caused by seizures. Seizures are a manifestation of epilepsy, which is a neurological disorder that impacts nearly 3.5 million Americans. To support our mission, we have three primary strategies: to gain mainstream acceptance and use of seizure-detection and seizure-prediction devices; to encourage medical providers to have more honest conversations about the risk of SUDEP with epilepsy patients and their families; and to advance public awareness of epilepsy and SUDEP. Through this three-pronged approach, we aim to prevent as many seizure-related deaths as possible.
Strategy 1: Utilize technology to manage epilepsy
Mike: At the core of the foundation is our grants program. We provide financial assistance to qualified families in need of seizure-detection and seizure-prediction devices for individuals and families who are financially constrained. These systems provide added safety for the person being monitored and peace of mind for their parents and relatives.
Tom: Before we get to the point of funding a grant request, much of our work involves helping a patient or their caregiver to align their individual circumstances with a monitoring system that fits their needs. Every family we encounter is coming to us with a degree of desperation—they want something, anything, to help them—and a lack of clarity sometimes accompanies that desperation. We try to help them to take a pause, step back, and make sure the system they've chosen is the best one for their situation. Once they determine the right fit, we don't want money to be the element holding them back. Which is where our grants funding comes in. We believe this program has a direct, near-term impact on families who face epilepsy. It's our calling card.
Mike: To date, we've funded grants for seizure detection/alert devices to families across all 50 states and 11 countries worldwide.
Tom: We consider this a tremendous accomplishment, and the most tangible way that Danny continues to make his presence felt.
Strategy 2: Encourage SUDEP straight-talk
Tom: Before Danny Did, my background was in public relations, and I always say there's a branding issue of sorts that has plagued the epilepsy community. Doctors use a range of terms to explain seizures to families—terms that allow them to avoid using words like "epilepsy" and "SUDEP." While these terms may serve to soften the blow at the time of diagnosis, one result is an ongoing lack of understanding and clarity among families about what they're actually facing.
Mike: Our doctor likened Danny's seizure to accidentally sticking a finger in an electrical socket. It left us thinking, "Well, that sounds pretty benign." But the dangerous truth is that it restricted us as parents and caregivers. Had our doctor used words like "epilepsy" and "SUDEP," we would have immersed ourselves in the epilepsy community, researching all we could and benefiting from the resources that immersion would have afforded us. In short, we would have known about the risk of sudden death, and we would have taken steps to try and minimize that risk.
Tom: Most of the families we meet either hear about SUDEP from us, from other parents, or from social media—if they've heard of SUDEP at all. The unfortunate reality is that conversations between families and doctors about SUDEP usually don't happen unless the patient is extremely high risk. So, the onus, unfortunately, often falls on the families. As advocates, we encourage an open and honest two-way conversation between doctors and parents about SUDEP. For everyone to know and acknowledge sudden death as one possible outcome, and to discuss the risk level for the person involved. You can only shape the best treatment plan once everyone is fully informed.
Mike: I encourage anyone responsible for a child experiencing seizures to engage their doctors about the broad range of outcomes that can occur. And couched in that conversation should be a question about the risk of SUDEP. This is a legitimate and important topic for a caregiver to raise with their doctor.
"We encourage an honest two-way conversation between doctors and parents about SUDEP. For everyone to know and acknowledge sudden death as one possible outcome, and to discuss the risk level for the person involved. You can only shape the best treatment plan once everyone is fully informed."
–Tom Stanton
Tom: When you are diagnosed with a disease, it is typically followed by a conversation about possible outcomes. But that isn't the norm with epilepsy. There are various reasons we've heard why this is the case, but none of them are acceptable as far as we're concerned. There needs to be communication about the risks before solutions can be achieved, and sharing knowledge is the starting point. Disclosure about SUDEP has gotten better in the last 10 years, but there are still gaps. We see it as part of our responsibility as an organization to bridge those gaps.
Strategy 3: Make SUDEP a household name
Mike: When we started the foundation, my wife and I promised that we'd nurture it and develop it as if it were Danny's continued place in the world. And as a result, over the last 10 years, we have aggressively advanced epilepsy, and SUDEP awareness across social media, in schools, and in various forms of marketing to the general public. We've launched 14 public awareness campaigns to grow understanding about seizures, epilepsy and SUDEP—campaigns that ranged from digital to social media, radio, billboards, and even a yearlong effort at O'Hare Airport―that reached an audience of over 11.5 million people. We've sponsored and participated in conferences, sent 25 families to Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland, supported initiatives to educate patients and medical professionals about SUDEP, as well as public policy, government regulations, and legislation to combat epilepsy. And, of course, we've advanced awareness about the most promising technologies and devices designed to assist people with epilepsy, their caregivers, and their doctors.
Tom: It is important to us that our impact on the epilepsy community is tangible. The testimonials page on our website is just a sliver of the feedback we receive. Danny is touching each family we help. He's present. And often times, the people we're helping are children, which reaffirms that he is at the forefront of who we are and what we do.
Mike: It's really true, and it's what has been most astonishing—and uplifting—through this whole journey: that the death of one little boy could trigger such a monumental shift in the way that patients, parents, and medical professionals talk about epilepsy. As for me, on the day Danny died, I changed as a person at an atomic level. And, consequently, so too did every single one of my relationships. The storyline of my life —wife, four kids, nice house, good jobs, great friends—was completely shattered. And I've learned that a shattered story does not reconstruct to its original narrative, that a renewed pursuit of happiness is an elusive affair, and that a daily awareness that Danny is dead is an entrenched, problematic, and bewildering part of my everyday life. Still, through my work at the Danny Did Foundation, Danny's energy is constant. And because of his continued presence in my life, I endeavor to help save other families from the experience of losing a child and I strive to ensure that parents of children afflicted by epilepsy have everything they need to keep their kids safe. And for that, I say to Danny: I couldn't do it without you, kid. I love you today, I'll love you forever, and you are the root of so much good in this world.
While no device has been proven to prevent SUDEP, the right device can enable early intervention during a seizure, which is believed to reduce epilepsy-related risks. This is why a big part of our work at the foundation is to help families identify which device is the best fit for them. Once they do, we don't want price to be a barrier. Which is where our Danny Did Grant Program comes in. With this program, we're able to provide financial assistance to qualified individuals looking to gain access to a range of seizure detection and prevention devices, including:
- The SmartWatch Inspyre™: detects repetitive shaking motion and sends a signal to an app running on the user's device which triggers a text and phone call alert
- Emfit®: a non-invasive mattress-based detection device that monitors for movement activity during sleep
- SAMi–The Sleep Activity Monitor: monitors for abnormal movements at night via infrared video camera; app records and analyzes video and sounds an alarm when an unusual activity is detected
- PulseGuard™: a monitoring system designed to detect seizures that are associated with a rise or fall in a heart rate
- Embrace Watch: detects and alerts for tonic-clonic seizures and transmits data to a paired smartphone and alert others via a text message and phone call
Visit the Danny Did Foundation website to learn more about these and other seizure-intervention devices, as well as the Danny Did Grant Program that provides financial support to families who need help paying for medical and seizure-management devices.

Smoking is Bad, but Why Exactly?
We have all known from a very young age that smoking kills and "tobacco is wacko!" Yet, 16-20% of Americans still smoke. Most smokers start their habit in their impressionable teenage years and are then hooked for life, because it is one of the most addictive legal drugs out there.
Why is smoking so bad, exactly?
Because it destroys your body inside and out, with both immediate and long-term negative health effects.
Short Term Effects of Smoking
- Inflamed airways
- Persistent cough/trouble recovering from colds and viruses
- Quick addiction and tobacco dependency
- Yellow teeth and nails
- Bad Breath
- Increased stress
- Irritability
- Financial loss due to cost of smoking habit
- Constricted blood vessels which increase chances of stroke and heart attack
- High blood pressure
- Heartburn
- Ulcers and acid reflux
- Lower immune system
- Increased chances of pneumonia and sinus infections
- Second-hand smoke exposure to those around you (very detrimental to children!)
- Loss of taste and smell
- You will smell bad, always
Long Term Effects of Smoking
- Greatly increased risk of many types of cancer, including:
- lung cancer
- mouth cancer
- throat cancer
- esophagus cancer
- pancreatic cancer
- nose cancer
- kidney cancer
- liver cancer
- bladder cancer
- bowel cancer
- ovarian cancer
- cervical cancer
- bone marrow cancer
- stomach cancer
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic emphysema
- Heart Disease
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Insomnia
And don't forget what long-term smoking also does to your physical appearance:
- Premature wrinkling
- Raspy voice
- Dull, dry and thin skin
- Weak hair and nails
- Eye bags due to lack of sleep
- Increased risk of psoriasis
- Yellow teeth and tooth loss
- Scarring from wounds taking longer to heal
- Stretch marks due to weak skin
- Increased risk of cataracts
What Happens When You Quit Smoking
The good news is that as soon as you quit smoking your body almost immediately starts to recover and improve.
- Within 30 minutes of your last cigarette your heart rate will begin to normalize and after 2 hours or so, your blood pressure will also be much closer to normal levels and your circulation will start to improve. You may be feeling strong urges and cravings, but your body is actually already starting its recovery process so hold on and don't give up!
Withdrawal symptoms include cravings, anxiety, mood swings, exhaustion, trouble sleeping and increased appetite. Symptoms peak around day 3, but will mostly pass in 2 weeks so do whatever it takes to stay strong and not give in!
- After 12 hours of no cigarettes, the level of carbon monoxide in your body subsides and the oxygen level increases.
- After 24 hours your risk for heart attack will already start to decrease!
- In about 48 hours nerve endings will start to regrow and your sense of smell and taste will start to come back. You will be shocked at the difference in foods and smells!
- On day 3 you can consider yourself nicotine free as this is the threshold when all nicotine has been processed out of your system.
- By week 3 of being smoke-free your body will have regenerated at a cellular level and your risk for heart disease, stroke and even cancer will reduce. Exercise will be easier and your heart rate will be steadier.
- In 9 months your lungs will have pushed out most of the collected mucus and debris and the cilia will have regrown. Your risk of infection is much lower and coughing has usually subsided.
- By 1 year, your risk for heart disease is now 50% lower!
- As you approach 5 years of being smoke-free, your risk of stroke is now equal to someone who never smoked at all.
- By 10 years, your risk of cancer will also have dropped 50% and you will also have saved over $90,000 by not paying for those horrible cigarettes!

Kroger's QFC eliminates single-use plastic bags
Grocery company takes the next step in its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste sustainability program
QFC has become the first division in The Kroger Co. to eliminate single-use plastic bags in its stores. The move is in keeping with Kroger's national bid to do away with such bags at all of its banners as part of the grocer's Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative.
During the month of April, QFC will also donate $1 for every reusable bag sold in its stores to The Nature Conservancy, a global nonprofit committed to protecting the earth's lands and waters.
"With Earth Day approaching, we realized this was the perfect opportunity to accelerate the removal of single-use plastic in our stores and take the next bold step in our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste journey," said Suzy Monford, president of QFC. "We listen closely to our customers and our communities, and we agree with their growing concerns about use-once, throw-it-away plastic bags. This is why we are leading the change and inviting our customers to join us as we help to create zero-waste neighborhoods."
Last August, Kroger revealed a national plan to eliminate single-use plastic bags in all stores as part of its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative to end hunger in the communities it serves and to eliminate waste across the company. In the announcement, QFC committed to be Kroger's first market to make the complete transition.
All QFC stores will feature reusable bag displays, highlighting the $1 donation to The Nature Conservancy for each reusable bag purchased in April, up to $10,000. QFC will also continue to offer customers the ability to recycle plastic bags.

This week, the New England Journal of Medicine published a randomized trial that examined how smokers used reduced-nicotine cigarettes -- the number they smoked, how deeply they inhaled, and the likelihood that quit attempts would succeed. Will these results allow the FDA to finally exercise its authority to require cigarette manufacturers to take some of the nicotine out of their products? In this video analysis, MedPage Today clinical reviewer F. Perry Wilson, MD, discusses the study's methods, results, and implications.
F. Perry Wilson is an assistant professor of medicine at the Yale School of Medicine. He earned his BA from Harvard University, graduating with honors with a degree in biochemistry. He then attended Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. From there he moved to Philadelphia to complete his internal medicine residency and nephrology fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. During his post graduate years, he also obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania. He is an accomplished author of many scientific articles and holds several NIH grants. He is a MedPage Today reviewer, and in addition to his video analyses, he authors a blog, The Methods Man.

|website design company
I'm so sorry! Tanya's story won't be finished, I fear. A couple of years ago I stopped my activities on the site, but decided to keep it online since so many still appreciate the stories of which some haven't been posted elsewhere.
Renée O aka Mrs. Darcy
What a fabulously engrossing story.
As i approach "the end", i'm distraught to thnk it won't be resolved.
What a bummer!
Man......cannot believe it's been 16 years since this was written or at least since feedback for this story was opened. I was three years old when this was posted. I stayed up until 6 am on a Saturday night devouring this story. I cried heavily (thankfully my college roommate was gone...it was quite some obnoxious sobbing) and was awash with heart-wrenching misery and anger and anguish for all those years apart and the misunderstanding god but also overwhelming happiness and giddiness. I must say it's been a long time since a story has touched me so deeply. Thank you for this beautiful story. I hope the author is out there and reads this. Truly, I am at awe. I have no hope it might be finished but if it ever was, I'd be here in a second.
Either way, thank you for this gift. You took a novel I love so so much and managed to place them in a different world, with different siblings and stories and I love them as much as I love the original. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. It's reminded me of why we love literature, why we love to consume art and lose ourselves in stories. Thank you.
I've just reached chapter 12 when curiosity got the best of me and goshdarnit! It made me so indescribably sad to know that it's abandoned! So wary of continuing, knowing that it will never reach its conclusion, and I'm now resorting to savour each chapter by reading ever. so. slowly. and. ever. so. carefully. This is one time that I would prefer to be blisfully ignorant.
savor it for sure! but know that the cliffhanger is not unbearable in terms of darcy and elizabeth's relationship so dont worry
I needed the reassurance - you have no idea how much that tidbit of info calmed me (was pretty distressed scrolling down this thread) onward I go!
yeah trust me, the big conflict is resolved, its more of like a minor plotline that comes up not relating to their relationship :))) and ik as i was reading id scroll down and be so happy when i saw "click here to read more of the story" so sad itll never be updated but we're really lucky with where it ended
All right! So you're saying there were no major unresolved issues.. and they were plausible enough to have a happy ever after? *bites nails nervously*
For me, it's resolved, but just short of totally happily ever after. I'm resigned to it never being updated. And if it is ever concluded it would have to find a new home! I'm thankful for Renee for keeping this site up.
I've reached the end and- what can I say- I'm already starting to feel tell-tale signs of withdrawal syndrome.
At one point I felt let down by Darcy, so disappointed was I that I couldn't really bask in their happiness at the long awaited reconciliation. His instinct to drown his sorrows in the arms of Valerie/other women whenever he's in turmoil is truly, truly upsetting to me. Granted that he didn't get to actually do the deed but, still.
I have heard a lot about this story..where do I read it? Unable to find a working link.
I think Tanya's site was deleted. This is the saddest day.
To all of you who still would like to read the story, Tanya is posting it on AHA:)
That is the best news ever! I was just talking to a friend about how sad I was to think I'd never find this fic again.
What is AHA? Could you link it?
Here's its new home for those who want to read!
OMG thank you!! So does this mean she's finishing this story! How exciting!

1-Hour Saw Horse Craft Table
When I recently began researching craft tables for our new place, I quickly realized that there aren't a ton of clean, modern craft table options out there–especially ones with a taller height to comfortably accommodate standing while crafting. (Because let's be serious, crafting is not always a sitdown hobby!) So I decided to take matters into my own hands and modify pre-made components to create a spacious, modern craft desk.
The 34″ height is perfect counter stool or standing height, and I love the juxtaposition of the smooth lacquered top and the unfinished wood saw horses. Not to mention you can build it in an hour once you've gathered all your materials!
- 2 unfinished Home Depot Saw Horses, 33″ wide x 32″ tall
- 1 pre-made IKEA Linnmon tabletop, 29.5″ wide x 59″ long
- four 3-1/4″ screws
- hand saw
- measuring tape
- pencil
- electric drill
Step 1.
If you use the saw horses I used from Home Depot, you'll want to cut the width down, because they're just slightly wider than the 29.5″ top (Or you could just buy a wider tabletop!). Use a hand saw to cut all the horizontal pieces of the saw horses down 6″ before following the manufacturer's instructions to assemble them.
Step 2.
Measure 6″ from each end of the saw horses and predrill holes for the screws. You'll drill 4 holes total, 2 holes on each saw horse.
Step 3.
Turn the tabletop upside down, so the underside is facing upward and find the midpoint of the short side. Measure and mark 9″ inward from the short end. This is the mark that you'll center your sawhorses on. Repeat with other end of the top.
Step 4.
Set up the saw horses parallel to one another, so the tops of the saw horses are roughly 38″ apart. Center the tabletop on them, and adjust the position of the sawhorses so they match up to the center marks on the tabletop created in step 3. Attach the saw horses to the top by drilling the screws into the saw horses' pre-drilled holes.
Pull up a stool and let the crafting begin!

Krabby's name is a variation on crabby, which denotes both its species and its personality.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Krabby's most notable feature are its large pincers. Krabby is an omnivore and a scavenger; it rarely hunts for itself. It can also act as a filter feeder by digesting the bacteria in sand, but this is rare. It is territorial, and in beaches where there is little food, fights between Krabby are common.
Krabby also uses camouflage; it can form mucus sacs about itself if threatened, making it seem larger or making it harder to spot against sea sand. It is usually very small, but it makes up by its aggressiveness.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Krabby can be captured in Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Yellow, Pokémon Gold and Silver, Pokémon Crystal, and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. In all of the above games, Krabby is able to be found with multiple methods (in grass, by fishing, by smashing rocks open) in multiple areas.
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl it is a random daily swarming Pokémon on route 226. It can only be found swarming once the national dex is obtained.
While training Krabby for evolution into Kingler at level 28, its extremely lopsided stats are apparent: It has very good attack and defense stats offset by below average speed and terrible HP, Special Attack, and Special Defense. It can Knock Out wild Pokémon rather easily with physical attacks like Vicegrip and Stomp, but its otherwise powerful Water-type move Crabhammer is hampered by its extremely low Special Attack. Luckily, the physical/special split in Diamond and Pearl makes Crabhammer much more useful. When Krabby evolves into Kingler, every one of its stats is incremented by 25.
Anime[edit | edit source]
Krabby first appeared at a beach in episode 13, Mystery At The Lighthouse, when Ash Ketchum wanted to prove that he could catch a Pokémon alone. After the capture (which involved Krabby attacking Ash's finger), it was automatically transferred to Professor Oak's lab, because Ash already had 6 Pokémon with him. To Ash's great surprise, Gary had also caught another Krabby, which was much larger than his.
Krabbys in general appear to enjoy pinching other living beings: In episode 17, The Island of the Giant Pokémon, a Krabby happily pinches Team Rocket, waking them up and in episode 68, The Evolution Solution, another Krabby pinches both a Slowpoke and Psyduck, making the latter yell in pain.
Throughout the series, Ash's Krabby stayed with Professor Oak, demonstrating his cheerful nature. Ash managed to meet him in Episode 67, Showdown at the Poke-Corral!, where he also saw Gary's one.
Ash used Krabby in his first battle at the Indigo Tournament, in episode 77, Round One - Begin!, against a trainer called Mandy. Krabby won against an Exeggutor and evolved into Kingler, who also won against a Seadra and a Golbat, despite the fact that Krabby had never battled before.
Ash also used it in the Whirlpool Tournament, and since then, Kingler has been living at Professor Oak's lab along with Ash's other Pokémon that were not brought to Sinnoh or the revisit to Kanto.
Manga[edit | edit source]
Red catches a Krabby in Pokémon Special which he trades for Misty's Gyarados. Misty later saves a Krabby trapped in Tohjo Falls in Volume 12. This act of kindness prompts Suicune to pick Misty as his trainer, besides her being the expert for Water-type Pokémon.
Trading Card Game[edit | edit source]
Krabby has appeared four times on the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
- Fossil
- Expedition
- EX FireRed & Leafgreen
- EX Crystal Guardians
Krabby and his evolution, Kingler, made their first appearance in a Premade Deck from the "Fossil" version, called "Lockdown". His next version, from the "Expedition" set, is, arguably, the best one (being capable of doing 30 points of damage, a lot for a basic Pokémon). Although the Krabby from "EX FireRed & LeafGreen" version can't do so much damage, it has the advantage of healing himself with the "Nap" attack, meaning that it can keep healthy until it evolves.

When we have a desire or dream which is not yet fulfilled or we have not taken any step to fulfill it, then it becomes an incomplete cycle. Every incomplete cycle, in some way or the other, keeps troubling us from within. There is a continuous and constant sense of incompleteness.
Really, it is a kind of mental frustration. Either discharge the desire, or take the first step or next step to fulfill it. Don't let it unattended. Every incomplete cycle drains you of your energy, leaving you weakened and exhausted.
That's why it isn't the day we worked a lot that tires us, but the day when many things remained incomplete that makes us tired financial goals setting, organising our the personal finance, doing our Tax planning in the beginning of the financial year, preparing for a meeting with a professional financial planners are incomplete cycles for most of us.
"There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen," said James A Lovell.
Let us start making things happen
Here are some universal truths about financial goal
setting that have helped most of the financially successful persons.
Most people have failed at financial competence, not due to lack of talent but loss of purpose. This is very true that once our financial goal is set, we start thinking and investigating ways to meet our long-term financial obligations. We start finding out interest rates in banks and companies, the rate of appreciation in gold and property, the appreciation in mutual funds, shares and stocks and the risk factors of each investment. Setting of goals diverts our mind effectively towards narrowing the financial difference towards our financial goals.
By setting financial goals we get the right direction to travel for fulfillment. It has been rightly said that an idle mind is a devil's workshop and a devil mind brings about bad or devil results. So once a sound financial goal like being financially independent after retirement. is set, our perception would be diverted in the direction to achieve it. This would apply to eliminating and rectifying failures in our financial planning like investing in penny stocks. This focus also enlightens our mind to possibilities of setting aside losses and reorganizing our financial planning.
Desire is a motivating factor that makes fulfillment of financial goals a compelling reason. It is true for our beneficial goals would make us strive towards its attainment. Saving and investment for pleasurable goals like marriage of children, their higher education and financial sufficiency in retirement would definitely motivate us for achievement.
We all like challenges, for we aim to prove ourselves superior, and this applies to meeting challenges like financial goals. This is true; we all like challenges and like to prove ourselves successful. Setting financial goals like a comfortable retirement corpus makes us want to prove to ourselves that it is attainable. So we work hard to meet the challenges to prove ourselves worthy to others and ourselves.
Mind as a Magnet
The mind gets magnetic to good financial saving or investment opportunities with financial goals due to a state of extreme awareness. Our mind has the capacity to focus more on goals that we set in life, and this applies to financial goals too. We then find opportunities that we may not previously have found as our mind works with a different perception of attaining of financial goals .
Financial goals nurtured lead to financial achievement
To conclude financial goals are just like seeds sowed in all our minds. This goal in the form of a seed is nurtured with good financial opportunities that come our way. With the nurturing of financial goals (seeds) being important we are motivated to avoid harms like bad investments that could harm the growth of the financial tree.
With the desire to see a full grown healthy tree of financial sufficiency makes us make regular savings and investment. Lastly facing the challenge of a healthy financial tree makes us be extremely aware of opportunities to ensure the best-grown financial tree.
Let us take the first step to be financially successful, by setting our financial goals today.
The next logical step to financial success would be to create a detailed financial plan to achieve these financial goals. If you are really interested in creating a personalised financial plan, then I would suggest you to test-drive our services by opting for

Sunday March 1st, 10am start. New course of just over 2 miles – start and finish roughly where we did 7 or 8 years ago but just the one lap instead of the tough two laps we did then. The hard, wide track there now makes it an easier location. To break up the bigger start groups and avoid big queues at the kissing gates on the way out I will make the handicaps in 20 second intervals. How you handle the gates on the way back will influence your tactical choice as to when to deploy your finishing kick. At the moment (19th Feb) the fields are firmer than anticipated except of course for the churned up gateways. Anybody wishing to help officiate will be most welcome.

Authors from the VA North Texas Health Care System Neurology Section and the Department of Neurology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have highlighted the potential benefits for DNA-based vaccine administration in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
In a Perspective article published in the March issue of Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, the authors draw attention to some recent promising observations and evaluate the potential for DNA vaccination in MS*.
Typically, DNA vaccines are composed of a bacterial plasmid that encodes a protein of specific interest behind a strong promoter (a DNA nucleotide sequence that forms a recognition site for the enzyme required for gene expression). The use of a DNA vaccine is considered the most simple or minimal way to induce an immune response.
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system of unknown cause. The prevalence of the disease is known to be 1.1-2.5 million cases worldwide, and the disease is diagnosed in women twice as frequently as in men. Emerging evidence from recent studies suggests that aberrant immune-regulation is an important component in the pathogenesis of MS.
The authors, Drs Olaf St?etra Cravens and Todd Eager, draw attention to recent clinical studies involving BHT-3009, a DNA vaccine encoding full-length human myelin basic protein. MS is a demyelinating disease i.e. it involves degeneration of the myelin sheath surrounding axons - components of the neurons that make up nerve tissue. The authors highlight a recent safety trial with BHT-2009 - the first trial with a DNA vaccine for an autoimmune disease in human patients - which showed it to be safe and well tolerated, although clinical efficacy is, as yet, difficult to assess. However, a forthcoming Phase IIb clinical trial comparing two doses of BHT-3009 with placebo in 289 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) promises to reveal more about the potential clinical benefits of this approach.
DNA vaccination has advantages over existing treatments - DNA vaccines are non-infectious, easily manufactured and inexpensive to produce. Subject to the outcome of the Phase IIb study, we may see the initiation of a Phase III study. Depending on the duration of that potential study, and provided that the use of BHT-3009 in a larger patient cohort can demonstrate safety and efficacy, the authors suggest that approval for its use in patients with RRMS could be possible within 5 years.

Film Review: Dunkirk (2017)
Content Editor, Film Critic and Writer for ComiConverse.com, the Founder and co-host of the official Nerdcast Network Podcast
Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (2017) is the first big budget war from the visionary director. This dark and bold dramatization of the Dunkirk Invasion pushes Christopher Nolan into his first historical film. But does it have the impact needed to be true to the real-life event? Find out as Jordan Samuel gives us the official review.
Film Review: Dunkirk (2017)
In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, soldiers were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 young French, British, Belgian and Dutch men were safely evacuated.
Renowned, visionary director Christopher Nolan is often regarded as the most influential face in Hollywood regardless the genre as his films go from thrillers to superhero blockbusters and science-based epics.
I have the utmost respect for Christopher Nolan who directed some of my favorite films, such as 1998's Following and 2002's Insomnia. Nolan was my introduction to proper independent filmmaking with his unique blend of grounded settings and deep storytelling.
The Dark Knight (2008) is modern day classic, not only as a stellar comic book adaptation, but also as a great piece of filmmaking. Nolan placed Batman in the middle of a crime thriller boasting an inspired plot which had more in common with Heat than other superhero films. Since The Dark Knight, Nolan has brought us two immense original movies Inception (2010) and Interstellar (2014). But can Nolan do it again, with his first historical drama, Dunkirk (2017).
Dunkirk is a mostly stripped back and experimental production, focusing on imagery instead of being bogged down in a predictable story structure. This might confuse audiences who expect a straightforward war movie or a serious historically accurate retelling of the evacuation of Dunkirk. Instead, Nolan delivers nonlinear storytelling and simple, authentic visuals.
Dunkirk's shadowy tone and nonlinear storytelling separates it from other summer blockbusters. Pushing the horrors of warfare to the forefront without being overly brutal, Nolan makes the suffering of those who lost their lives on the battlefields of WWII visceral without making the spectacle overly gory.
Nolan delivers the best war film since Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998); one that is not afraid to give its audience courageous and surreal sequences instead of pretentiously loud action.
It tells a story about the terrible battle, in which 68,111 men of the British Expeditionary Force were captured or killed and 40,000 French troops were taken into captivity.
Dunkirk doesn't skimp on the grim reality of war. Nolan keeps the tension and intensity of the battle high throughout the runtime. This keeps the story from feeling bloated and allows it to tell its own rich story that transcends the battle.
Dunkirk is based on the real-life World War ll battle. Retelling the story from the ground and air troops gives the film a person yet epic feel. Nolan manages to create the most impressive historical film in years.
While based on the historical event, Dunkirk strays away from the political and focuses on the real heroes who experienced this grueling ordeal. Opting for visual storytelling over dialog heavy sequences, instead relying on the imagery and dread the Soldiers must have gone through in the 1940s.
Nolan's script is told from various perspectives including the land, sea, and air. Nolan deftly moves between each and, because of the simplicity of the story, what could otherwise be hard to follow forms a larger storyline.
The film connects audiences with the heroes who helped save and defend their positions in a miracle event. It may be the shortest film this summer but the impactful and awe inspiring real life story sets it apart from the bombastic franchise movies released so far in 2017.
Newcomer Fionn Whitehead (HIM) is Tommy, the protagonist who doesn't provide much dialogue but functions as the audience surrogate, giving a window into the terrible, frantic events. I was totally enamored with the physical elements of his performance: the combination of athletic running and his ability to communicate complex emotions with subtle expressions.
Tommy might not have the most interesting backstory- but he is not portrayed as a generic, macho soldier. He is human and realistic; a normal young man caught up in an horrific historical event. Fionn Whitehead is just starting out in Hollywood. Based on his performance in Dunkirk, I will be looking for his future projects because Nolan has found a star.
One Direction member Harry Styles makes his on-screen debut as Alex, a British Army private. Styles surprises with a grounded performance that proves he has what it takes to be more than a pop star. though he is not an Oscar winning actor, he handles his emotional sequences competently even if much of his dialogue lacks serious weight.
Nolan gives Styles some serious acting lessons in Dunkirk. Styles' character Alex is engulfed by or submerged in water for most of the films runtime. The portrayal relies heavily on the physicality of Styles.
Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins) has a tough role to fill as Shivering Soldier, a man who suffers from PTSD. Murphy alternately cowers in fear and lashes out, delivering a fantastic performance with complex layers.
I would have preferred more characters like these to add more interest to the sometimes generic soldiers. Cillian Murphy deserves attention for another solid on-screen appearance.
Tom Hardy (The Revenant) returns to the Nolanverse after being absent from 2014's Interstellar. Hardy plays Farrier, a royal air force pilot whose story is told up in the air.
Hardy does not get much screen time and spends what time he has mumbling into a walkie-talkie. Hardy is fine in the role, but he ends up being a side note for the younger cast members.
Dunkirk is a masterpiece comprised of thrilling moments that never gets bogged down with over-the-top action. The rescue ship sequence is one of the best put to film this year. The overhead fighter jets feel authentic to the time and add another layer to the fear that was prevalent on the battlefields of 1940's France.
While being the most grounded Christopher Nolan project yet, Dunkirk is also one of the most experimental World War II films ever made. Relying more on the point of view of the men and women in the thick of the battle, Nolan crafts an historical epic in which the cinematic sweep of the visuals is matched by the emotional depth of the characters.
Christopher Nolan does it again, with brilliant and thrilling results! I recommend seeing Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX for the best experience of this visceral, accomplished film.
Simply Thrilling
While being the most grounded Christopher Nolan project yet, Dunkirk is also one of the most experimental World War II films ever made.

Oh yeaaaah!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Ally, the 'Macho Man Randy Savage' costume creator:
I was the only girl in the family and was really into wrestling as a kid. I loved Macho Man Randy Savage because, well he's the cream of the crop! I wanted to emulate his extravagant costume in the most savage way as possible to pay homage.
I bough the catsuit on Etsy and the jacket at a thrift store for $13. I bought about 3 yards of the green, white, and hot pink spandex fabric and cut them into strips. Sewed them on the jacket and cut them into fringe. Did the same with the arm bands. I used felt stickers to spell out "OH YEAH" and "MACHO MAN" on the sleeves. I bought a couple Randy Savage pins for flare. I bought a Randy Savage shirt on Amazon, cut it out, and used Heat N Bond for the back of the jacket. Printed out "Macho" on sticker paper, cut it out, and put it on the zebra hat. Bought the belt at ToysRus!
The catsuit ($70) and the knee high Converse ($85) were the most expensive pieces. All together probably spent around $200-250. Worth every penny. I felt like a celebrity - with the dudes at least. There was a costume contest at the party i was at but the only reason I didnt win was because it all the judges were female and not ONE girl knew who I was! Only guys did! (LA basic girls). So was very popular with the dudes that night. They loved it! Also it was the most comfortable costume I could possibly wear :)
Also - I did a lot of research and I think that I'm one of the only girls to actually dress up in this costume 100%. I'm pretty sure I'm the best girl Randy Savage girl of the internet (if not ever!). Glad I did Macho Man Randy Savage justice

Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool fans not to start singing his name too soon in games.
The Kop burst into a rendition of "Jurgen Klopp, la la la" midway through the second half with the score at 3-1, and almost immediately Jamie Vardy rushed through on a one-on-one with Simon Mignolet. Only a fine save by the Belgian stopper kept our two-goal lead intact.
"I have to say, because I don't know how else I can say this, please don't sing my name before the game is decided!" he said (Echo).
"Immediately when the Kop started signing 'Jurgen Klopp la la la' they were clear on Simon Mignolet.
"It's like celebrating a penalty before you have scored!
Klopp said the same thing also happened against Arsenal, and although it was "nice", he would prefer it if everyone stopped doing it.
"It was the same against Arsenal. It's nice, but it's not necessary. It would be really nice if you could stop please!"
He's probably right, of course. But it can be hard not to burst into a round of song when you're 3-1 up against the reigning champions!
Klopp's glasses go missing, again!

We eventually won 4-1, with two goals from Firmino underpinning the win. Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana also got on the scoresheet, while Vardy bagged for the Foxes.

There are not that many three-row crossovers in the market that blends driving fun with a utility like Mazda does with the CX-9. Mazda has hooked up the CX-9 with an enabling chassis as well as a responsive steering that helps add a dose of fun in a market segment that is largely devoid of fun-filled driving experience. The exterior of the 2018 Mazda CX-9 is also attractive while the cabin is also well laid out to ensure the entire family is comfortable even during long drives. However, the CX-9 scores dismally in terms of cargo capacity as well as space for third-row passengers. Mazda has tweaked the crossover to strengthen its position in the market even though only a year has elapsed since this 2nd-generation version was unveiled.
2018 Mazda CX-9 Exterior
The CX-9 only underwent a comprehensive revamp last year when the current second generation of the model launched. Therefore, for the 2018 model year, the exterior has received only minor tweaks. The good thing about the CX-9 exterior is that it has a simple yet elegant design.
The exterior is characterized by a sharply angled grille and bumper, an elongated hood while the windshield is steeply raked. The top Grand Touring and Signature trims are set apart by chrome accenting on their side profiles and ride on 20-inch wheels, unlike lower trims which ride on 18-inch wheels. Auto-power folding side mirrors are now standard options across all the trims. In addition, like the CX-5, Mazda has hooked up the CX-9 with the Soul Red Crystal Metallic exterior paintwork.
Compared to most models in this segment, the interior of the CX-9 is nice. To make it even better, Mazda has made some improvements for 2018. The cabin is characterized by soft-touch plastics with excellent graining as well as brushed aluminum. The top trim even features genuine rosewood. Heated front seats and power adjustments for the driver's seat are now optional for the Sport trim while for the Touring trim; the front passenger seat is power adjustable and has lumbar support while the driver's seat has a tilt function. The Grand Touring trim adds a heated steering wheel as well as heated rear seats. The automaker has also made some adjustments to the second-row seats to enhance comfort and easier access to the third row.
As for the infotainment system, the crossover has an intuitive unit. On the Sport trim, the infotainment system is accessed via 7.0-inch screen while other trims come with a larger, 8.0-inch unit. Although this system can be controlled via the screen, the automaker also offers a rotary knob as well as redundant buttons fitted close to the shifter on the center console. The system can also be managed via voice commands. HD radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and onboard internet are offered as standard features.
The cargo space is however limited behind the third-row seats but can be expanded by folding second- and third-row seats.
Mazda has also made some upgrades to reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels in the cabin.
For improved safety, Mazda offers the "Smart City Brake Support" system as standard; this is a low-speed automatic emergency braking function.

These join other standard features including a lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beams as well as rain-sensing wipers.
Mazda has also introduced the G-Vectoring Control system as standard across the trims. This system helps to reduce engine torque faintly during cornering to enhance cornering stability.

Nam Taehyun from boy band Winner is receiving negative criticism for his acting skills performance in his recent drama feature.
SBS' latest new series Late Night Restaurant debuted on air last night, July 5, and features the 21-year-old boy band singer in a story about a late night restaurant which opens at midnight and closes at 7am.
In a scene where his character Min Woo addresses his misery and loneliness, the boy band star's delivery contained within it a mixture of tears, smiles, random silences and a general variety of expressions, such that viewers say they became confused and put off by his performance.
People were so disgruntled that they created parody videos of the scenes — one of which saw his line "It felt like I was desperately trying to stay afloat in water" changed to "It feels like I'm desperately trying to find my way around this script".
Stay in the know about your favorite dramas by following IdolWow! on Twitter
While this is only Nam's second screen role, critical viewers have panned his performance saying that he should have been better prepared or trained before going for broadcast. What do you think?

This is incredibly sad. He was part of the most promising office in Spain. I saw him lecturing in Princeton while I was a student there, and he was extremely intelligent. But most of all he was a very kind soul, something difficult to find these days in this business. View full entry

bulk jewelry TORONTO, June 4, 2015 /CNW/ the second consecutive year, the recreational property market got off to a slow start in 2015, as harsh weather delayed sales activity in most regions until well into the spring buying season. Brokerages and agents that specialize in cottage, cabin or chalet properties are now experiencing a rush of activity as buyers make up for lost time, according to the 2015 Royal LePage Recreational Property Report released today. Unlike 2014, when the extended winter dampened total sales volumes, increased activity levels in mid to late spring 2015 show that buyers had merely delayed purchase decisions this year versus putting them off entirely. bulk jewelry

Best Heroine FINAL ROUND
Who is the best fiction heroine?
It all ends.
Two months ago, I casually started taking nominations for a "best heroine" poll I thought would be dying down by late February. The names flooded in. Too many for a single poll, and even too many for a poll with semifinals, we had to do quarterfinals just to narrow down the options enough for a single, large final poll.
This is that poll.
Our poll is ten names. Each of you will be given four votes. Please remember that there is no "ranking" system for votes so each vote you cast beyond the first will "dilute" the power of all the others. You should vote for as few as you can bear to.
Since it's already late April, this poll will stay open into May even as I collect nominations for whatever our May poll is going to be (suggestions welcome in comments). However don't tarry–this poll will close on May 13th.
One reminder that I always need to put on our more popular polls. This poll is about books. It is not about movies. There have been some great movie adaptations of almost all of these titles, but stick to voting for the BOOKS. This may go well for characters like Eowyn, who were given less agency in the movie adaptation, but try not to let a mad crush on Emma Watson after her U.N. speech influence a vote for Hermione.
The poll itself is on the lower left of the side menus–just below the "About the Author."
Since I can't really stop shenanigans, I welcome shenanigans all flavors. The main one is of course that Polldaddy tracks your IP for a week so you could vote from multiple computers or vote again after a week, but people have also enlisted friends, family, and even author sub Reddits or Facebook communities to join in the fun.
3 comments:
So... I voted. But I got a popup that said the poll didn't load properly. So I clicked again, and this time it seemed to load... I mean, it showed me the results. But it said that the person I voted for had 0 votes, so... I'm not sure what happened there.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds like you still have your vote. It'll sometimes show you results without you voting, but you should always still be able to click buttons if you refresh the page.Delete
I hope.
It also sometimes takes a minute to update. I don't know much about HTML codes, but sometimes when I change something ON the poll (over at the polldaddy site) it takes a minute before it shows up here.Delete

Author Notes:
my first memory of brussel sprouts in when my mother (an otherwise amazing cook or maybe i was just too young to appreciate) blanched and served them with pork tenderloin for a canasta party. i hated them. i remember thinking they had no flavor. well to be fair they don't really but they are the most perfect little vessel in texture and they hold flavor so well they are now one of my favorite veggies. and because of that, i experiment with them.
queue kewpie mayo. it's delicious and addicting, probably because of the MSG. but you know what – it coats brussel sprouts so wonderfully i can't stop, won't stop using it. you can sub in veganese or regular mayo if you must. these are great as a little side piece to an entree and super easy. —Lauren Elizabeth Wiper
Serves: 4
pound brussel sprouts, bottoms cut off and halved
tablespoon kewpie mayo
tablespoon soy sauce (or a sub)
teaspoon rice wine vinegar
teaspoon sesame oil
teaspoon chili flake oil or sambal olek
olive oil
kosher salt
- preheat the oven to 400. cut the bottom of the brussel sprouts off and half them. throw them on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and sea salt.
- they go in the oven for 20-30 minutes – until just crispy (this depends on the size of your sprouts). i stir them every 10 minutes.
- this is the easy part. mix the kewpie mayo, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flake oil together in a little bowl with a whisk.
- once the brussel sprouts are crisp, pull them out of the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. now toss them in the mixture and serve. omnomnom.
- tips* sometimes i will add garlic, ginger or sesame seeds into the mix. its a really easy topping and i rarely ever actually measure it anymore.

The total PC market in 2012 is expected to contract by 1.2 percent to 348.7 million units, down from 352.8 million in 2011. Not since 2001 ? more than a decade ago ? has the worldwide PC industry suffered such a decline. ?There was great hope through the first half that 2012 would prove to be a rebound year for the PC market,? said Craig Stice, senior principal analyst for computer systems at IHS. ?Now three quarters through the year, the usual boost from the back-to-school season appears to be a bust, and both AMD and Intel?s third-quarter outlooks appear to be flat to down. Optimism has vanished and turned to doubt, and the industry is now training its sights on 2013 to deliver the hoped-for rebound. All this is setting the PC market up for its first annual decline since the dot-com bust year of 2001.? From hope to disappointment The year started off with major hope for Intel?s ultrabooks at the annual Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas. New and innovative form factors like convertibles, combined with the first appearance of Windows 8 demos on display, provided a fresh wave of enthusiasm for the possibility of a revitalized PC market. Even when first-quarter PC shipments came in, the less-than-stellar results were thought to be a minor setback. The high expectations continued midyear during the big PC event at Computex in Taiwan, as Intel plugged its latest Ivy Bridge processor. Shipments during the second quarter, however, once again disappointed. For now, important questions remain for the PC market and the rest of the year:
? How much impact will Windows 8 really have toward boosting the PC market in the fourth quarter? ? Will continuing global economic concerns neutralize whatever hype or interest has been generated by ultrabooks? ? Will mobile computing gadgets such as tablets and smartphones win over PCs during the crucial holiday selling season, taking precious consumer dollars and keeping PC sales at bay?There are signs that a strong rebound could still occur in 2013. While IHS has reduced its forecast for them, the new ultrabooks and other ultrathin notebook computers remain viable products with the potential to redraw the PC landscape, and the addition of Windows 8 to the mix could prove potent and irresistible to consumers. Whether a newly configured PC space could then stand up to the powerful smartphone and tablet markets, however, remains to be seen.]]>

Why choose The Puriri Path?
The Puriri Path is a unique use of a life policy that allows you to leave a bequest/ legacy to your chosen organisation or club.
Motivation behind The Puriri Path:
- We are constantly hearing about the difficulties that clubs and organisations face seeking funding.
- Without the strength of volunteers and loyal members many clubs would simply not survive financially.
- Sometimes a person may wish to leave a legacy to their favourite organisation but all their assets are tied up in trusts, leaving nothing to give.
- Applying for grants or community assistance is now a large part of a club's activities, and it is getting more difficult.
- Puriri Path is all about future funding.
How to make The Puriri Path work for you:
- Contact The Advisers to get the process underway.
- A supporter decides on the level of financial support they would like to make, and applies for a Puriri Path life policy.
- The supporter and organisation enter into an agreement outlining premium payments, proceeds distribution, managing future changes and intentions.
- The policy is then transferred to joint ownership with the chosen club/organisation.
- On the death of the supporter the club lodges a claim with the insurer and receives the legacy.
- Because the organisation is an owner of the policy, the proceeds from the policy do not get held up in any estate disputes or probate issues.
The seed we plant today grows into the financial legacy for the future.

Horizon Bank Partners with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Northwest Indiana Movement
Horizon Bank announces its efforts to help support the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Northwest Indiana Movement, for the LaPorte County Goes Red engagement on April 7, 2017 at The Uptown Center in Michigan City.
A generous dedication in the amount of $7,500 was presented by Rachel Saxon, President, Horizon Trust & Investment Management and 2017 Chair of LaPorte County Goes Red to Jennifer Young, Socials Director for the American Heart Association, Northwest Indiana, in January.
"We're thrilled to support this program, which we believe is critical to helping save the lives of women right here in the communities we serve," says Saxon, Investment Management "The local American Heart Association is working hard to ensure that people understand the unique symptoms women experience with heart issues, and when they should call for help – as well as how they can help prevent these types of ailments." stated Saxon.
Young, confirms this, noting that a lot of research is being done specific to how women present symptomatically different than men, with signs of a cardiac event. "Women might have jaw pain, or upper back pain, or nausea," says Young. "And it can be misdiagnosed as a panic attack, when it very well could be cardiovascular disease. So having the knowledge that the symptoms and signs are different for women compared to men, is critical… With the education provided by the American Heart Association, up to 80% of [these deaths in women] can be prevented." Prevention, she says, comes from lifestyle change, education, and the research that the American Heart Association is doing.
Young says there are seven simple steps to improving outcomes and helping to prevent heart issues, including things like smoking cessation, exercising 30 minutes five days a week, knowing your numbers, reducing blood pressure, being aware of current cholesterol numbers, and more.
The support the AHA gets, Young says, will help them expand their mission. "The majority of funding goes directly to research and education," she says, noting that less than 8% of donations are allocated for administrative costs.
"I can't say enough good things about Horizon Bank really championing the lifesaving mission of the American Heart Association," Young says. "Not only in LaPorte County, but using it as an example to help share the mission throughout northwest Indiana. We're just so thankful for their sponsorship and we look forward to continuing to impact more women."
About The American Heart Association
