Trying to figure out how to rid this site of ads. Last few days it's been annoying. As in the ad is slow to load and when it does it "slides" the forum down, which can be annoying when trying to get into threads. There used to he a thread in the Feedback section that had instructions for getting rid of ads but it's gone....curiouser and curiouser...

Debating if I wanna subscribe to cbs all access because I really wanna see Picard, but I already subscribe to Hulu and just joined Netflix again.
Fixing to eat brunch and then start working on the crime novel. Then it's on to writing my next article.
Right now I'm currently trying to debate if a celebrity actually died a few hours ago. It's all over FB and Twitter, but not here. I always verify deaths here first.

"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Me? I just put two FB "friends" on restriction for following me around putting angry reactions and posting snide comments about my anti-Trump memes. Ria, remember that guy who accused me of listening to too much CNN? He was one of them. I'd just blocked a woman yesterday for screaming at me. What is so hard to understand about "Scroll on if you don't agree." Or just a polite apposing opinion. Sheesh.
I saw it's here. I was tempted to post it but wasn't sure if it had been verified yet. Wouldn't want to be the poster of "fake news."
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Funny thing I've noticed about the Trump fans (Trumpanzees, I've heard them called):
Several times I've commented on news stories about being a conservative who is very opposed to Trump.
They ALWAYS go on about, "Nice try, but you're just a liberal, a fake conservative, etc."
It's like you can't be a conservative unless you're as gullible as they are and don't care about truth or ethical behavior.
I've commented lately that Trump will be acquitted, but he will not be exonerated; that would require witnesses and the GOP isn't having any of that.
So I've taken to commenting that he'll be found innocent - "that OJ kind of innocent"; then adding that at least OJ was acquitted by a jury after they heard all available evidence; so Trump won't even have that.

No More Stolen Sisters.
Those are closer to the truth, I'd say.
I'm fixing to change mine again, I thought they were funny at first but they're starting to disturb me.
It's incredible that anybody could ever think there's anything righteous about this guy, but...

I'm fixing to nuke a late supper. I've been writing on the crime novel and didn't want to quit until I finished a chapter.
Grey's Anatomy season 13, just finished putting groceries away, and having a vodka and Diet Dr Pepper.
I've had a hell of a day. Despite what I vented about in the vent thread, we had a problem right at the beginning of lunch with the drink machine in lobby not working. Which meant for THREE HOURS we made ALL drinks in drive through.
Oh AND fuckers wouldn't listen. We would TELL them the drink machine was down and to come to us at front counter for refills and they kept going to the side counter, where we call out their food orders. Which meant the person running that counter not only had to cook all the fries and fried foods (tenders, onion rings, crispy chickens for sandwiches, etc), bag up carryout orders, plate up dine in orders, AND refill people's drinks because they can't use the ears God gave them to listen.
If they didn't ignore us about the refills they would ignore us about the machine in the first place, snatching their cups away only to come to one of the counters and whine, "The pop machine doesn't work!" Well, no shit, Sherlock. Had you LISTENED to us you would know that.
Boss called Pepsi, who said they'd be there when they got there. *rolls eyes* 2pm rolls around and when we finally died down Pepsi shows up. 5 minutes later and they fix both the drink station in the lobby AND fixed the Diet Pepsi in drive through, it had gotten stuck and kept overflowing making a huge mess.
To add to all of THAT fun, we were down one person on cold line (front end), one person on hot line (kitchen/grill), AND one manager was at a different store taking his ServeSafe course. So yep. I needed a stiff drink when I got home.

"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Just finished working on my crime book scene chart. Fixing to read. Wait! I have to do my breathing treatment too. Boo!
Waiting for a Mod to approve my post in the Kobe thread. ???
Stay in Drugs. Eat your School. Don't do Vegetables.
Sorry, I've been catching up with my reading while not sleeping. If it makes you feel any better, I had to approve one of my own posts as well.
Celebrating. The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl!!!! Yes I texted my ex, a die-hard Cowboys fan, "How about them CHIEFS????" Wonder Twin, who does NOT follow "sportsball," texted me immediately to tell me we had won. I am a jinx to our boys and when I watch we lose. So I waited till we had the lead and a minute to go in the game and THEN I watched.
*insert happy dance here*
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
My team is the UGA Dawgs, but they weren't in it, so congrats Chiefs!
Doing my last breathing treatment for the day. Fixing to complete my daily work schedule with reworking and charting a scene in the crime novel, then do some pleasure reading. I would love to watch the rest of Grey's new season, too. We'll see.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Trump thinks the Chiefs are a Kansas team.
By extension, the same goes for his followers.
The US Senate should pass a resolution honoring all of Kansas for their spectacular, come from behind win and authorizing government funds to build a new stadium in Kansas City, Kansas. Trump can then withhold the funds until the Missouri legislature launches an investigation into everyone in Kansas who didn't vote for Trump. And let's earmark a few million to find out how we wound up with two Kansas Cities in the first place.

Claire McCaskill set him straight. ROFLMAO
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Right now I'm relaxing. Tomorrow is more than likely going to be a clusterfuck of a shitshow. The victory parade for the Chiefs will be tomorrow beginning at 11am Central time and going until 6pm. When the Royals won the World Series, we were insanely busy during the parade, and we look to be every bit as busy if not more so tomorrow. I'm not planning on having a chance for a break, but am planning on eating extra breakfast and taking a cereal bar for later. I'm really not supposed to skip meals due to it starting a downward spiral into eating disorder land, but it can't be helped.
ETA: And also reveling in this bundle of cuteness born last night. Yep, Schmoo is a daddy. Introducing Jayce Nasar [Schmoo's last name], he was born at 7:21 last night. Naturally I won't refer to him on here as his name after this. I haven't yet decided what nickname I'll give him, I've been calling him Abuela's niño precioso, which translates to Grandma's precious boy.

"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Sissy and I are sick, but I managed to complete my writing schedule today in between long stays in bed.
Awake and lying in bed having a sad. Those of you on my Facebook know what's going on, but for those of you who aren't, I'm moving in a few hours out of KC for a while. Iv was born and raised in KC, and lived in my current city just outside of KC proper since 1994.
I quit Freddy's yesterday in a puddle of tears. Most of the people there have become my extended family, and that's where I met my best friend, my precious Wonder Twin. I'm looking to get hired on at a store in my new city. Our store is corporate, and the one where I'm going is franchise. That little fact prevents transfers, I have to quit and apply at the new store. GM C, who has had his moments, turned softie and hugged me as I left and told me to have the new GM call him for a reference and he would give me a glowing review.
I'll still be texting Wonder Twin daily, but last night we got together for dinner for the last time for a while. When the Black Widow movie comes out in May, she says if I haven't moved back yet she'll make the two-hour trip down, but because it IS a two-hour trip one way I'm not asking her to make it regularly.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Me? I'm monkeying around here, fixing to work on the crime novel, while I wait for Publix to deliver my groceries, and then I'm going back to bed.
Watching RuPaul on Saturday Night Live, and screwing around here.
Life is like a box of chocolates: unless it was sent to you by Divine.
I'm now in a college town, home of Mizzou. My friends and roommates say I may love it here so much I'll never want to go back to KC... but my family is in KC. The downtown here though is AMAZING. Bus systems much better than Lee's Summit, once I figure out where the stop is by me.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Glad it's working out, Ria. I too live in a college town, Athens aka Dawg Town.
I'm fixing to eat breakfast while reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. God help me. So far it's as entertaining as reading a label.
I have been to see the Freddy's down here and I think it will be a HUGE culture shock for me. GM C in Lee's Summit tells me the stores here aren't as busy as what I'm used to. We have two stores here, one is attached to a strip mall and barely has a drive through, and the other is a standalone store like LS, but it also only has a single lane drive through. I've worked with "double drives" for almost 14 years between McDonald's and Freddy's. I won't know what to do with myself. I am keeping the option of returning to McDonald's, albeit here, open. The McDonald's here is within walking distance of where I'm staying.
I'm hoping to get on at one of the Freddy's and impress them enough that I won't have my hours cut too much when summer hits. Here it's opposite to where I come from. In LS, we are insanely busy with the kids out of school. Here in Columbia, it dies down a LOT when the college kids go home for the summer. So that means I have a decision to make. Freddy's, that I'm used to (and already have 3 hoodies and umpteen t-shirts and jeans for) and McDonald's, that I haven't worked at in almost 4 years. I have NO black pants anymore except two pairs of fleecy, velvety pants so I'd have to buy pants or order some off Amazon Prime. The work shoes I'm ordering are black and nonslip and will work for either place. To be honest, from what GM C told me as I left LS, either store here would be proud to take me on.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Congrats on the grandbaby Ria, and sorry you had to move and such. Right now gaming and waiting for veggie soup to get done, texting a support buddy in the IBS support group, trying to learn what I can and cannot eat, it sucks big time, having cramps in my stomach which as that is one thing that comes with IBS, just so happy it wasn't cancer, or chrons
No More Stolen Sisters.
Good news, pk.
I'm working on the crime novel. I've got to do my last breathing treatment, and maybe work on the historical.
I applied tonight to the Freddy's here. I SAID I'd take a week off for a break then apply....but I made it 3 days. Lol! Not counting the weekend. The store I applied to not only needs someone who does what I do but also needs a supervisor and an assistant manager. I'd LIKE to get on, get promoted, and go back home already promoted so GM C won't have anything to say about it. He valued me as his best employee yes but refused to promote me. Stupid move on his part. I did apply to the McDs down here, too, to have a backup plan.
We will see how entitled the guests/customers are here. Cost of things aren't as high as in KC. Gas was $1.99/gallon when we were out earlier tonight, back home it was well over $2. Liquor is slightly higher, as in my usual Burnett's vodka is $8.99 rather than $7.99, but I DID buy two 1.75L bottles, one Bacardi rum and the other ChiChi's piña coladas (25 proof by itself) for about $32. I usually add the extra alcohol to the premixed, making it MUCH stronger which means I need less to feel good and sleep through the night.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Watching "Steel Magnolias" on cable. I haven't sat down and really WATCHED TV in so long I don't even remember when. I only follow two shows religiously, Grey's and SVU, and I watch those on Hulu on my time. (Used to have therapy on Thursdays when both shows were on and was usually in recovery mode most of the evening.) Watched Grey's as it aired, then caught the tail end of "Grease," and then found "Steel Magnolias." And for the record, this movie is where I got the phrase "know which side their bread is buttered on" to describe gay vs. straight.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Messing around. Praising God that my cough has calmed down and I feel better. Got a wellness check Saturday and Doc will give me antibiotics if I need them.
In my first actual gay bar that doesn't serve food like Hamburger Mary's does, about to see my first drag show. $5 full kamikaze drinks means ya girl ain't gonna be sober long.
"Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot."
Fighting a sinus infection. Doc prescribed antibiotics, but I have to wait until Sissy gets around to getting them on Monday. Otherwise, I'm board to tears.

HÀ GIANG — The northern mountainous province of Hà Giang is urgently repairing several roads that have been severely damaged by landslides due to many days of heavy rain.
Ma Quốc Trưởng, deputy chairman of Mèo Vạc District People's Committee, Hà Giang Province, said the highway from Mèo Vạc District centre to some communes including Tát Ngà, Nậm Ban, Niêm Sơn and Niêm Tòng has been blocked for days due to prolonged heavy rains causing soil and rock to fall down the road.
The most seriously damaged section of road passes through Tát Ngà Commune, where such a large amount of rocks slid onto the road that traffic came to a standstill.
Prolonged heavy rains in Xín Mần in recent days caused the national highway from Bắc Quang District to Xín Mần District, and the road from Cốc Pài Town to Xín Mần border gate to become seriously cracked due to landslides. It became nearly impossible for local people to travel along the roads.
In Bắc Mê District, heavy rains lasting from the night of August 7 through the entire day of August 8 caused water levels in rivers and streams to rise, seriously damaging homes, cops and State works.
According to preliminary statistics, heavy rains damaged dozens of hectares of rice in Minh Ngọc Commune. The spillway of Minh Ngọc Commune to Thượng Tân Commune, Bắc Mê District was partially washed away by the flood, causing the main road to Thượng Tân Commune to become separately blocked.
According to Yên Bái Province's Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue, after the heavy floods at the end of July, the province has provided nearly VNĐ5 billion (US$215,000) to the families of dead and missing persons and people whose homes completely collapsed.
The province also provided nearly 20 tonnes of rice, instant noodles and drinking water and six tonnes of dried food for flood victims.
Kon Tum village isolated
Dozens of houses were flooded and 10 villages still were isolated due to heavy rains in Ia H'Drai District in the Tây Nguyên (Central Highlands) province of Kon Tum.
Traffic in the district has been impeded.
The People's Committee of Ia H'Drai District has instructed communal authorities and relevant offices to carry out support works, aiming to move local people to safe areas and clean the flooded areas.
The authorities deployed forces around the clock at critical locations such as landslide-affected areas and spillways to warn local people not to enter when the water was rising and to prepare food for people in isolated areas.
Colonel Phạm Ngọc Phú, Border Guard commander of Kon Tum Province, said army forces were coming to Ia H'Drai District's flooded areas to co-ordinate with local authorities to rescue people.
Tropical depression
The National Hydrological Forecasting Centre warned in the early morning of Friday that the low pressure area to the northwest of Hoàng Sa (Paracel Islands) has strengthened into a tropical depression.
As of 4am of Friday, the tropical depression was about 100km southeast of Hainan (China) with the strongest winds reaching level 6 (40-50km/h).
It was forecasted that in the next 24 hours, the tropical depression will move in the north-west direction at a speed of 10km/h.—VNS

Diuretics are substances that allow the body to get rid of excess water and sodium. They help in draining out the water by stimulating the kidneys and eliminate sodium from the urine thus, facilitating drainage of excess water. Diuretics are prescribed by the doctor when the body starts to retain excessive fluids.
The conditions that lead to problems such as:
1. High blood pressure: This is a disorder wherein the blood exerts more than the normal force (pressure) against the arterial walls while flowing through them.
2. Diabetes: It is a metabolic disorder wherein the blood sugar level rises significantly.
3. Kidney stones: Kidney stones refer to the formation of stones in the kidneys that can hamper the normal functioning of the kidney, leading to fluid retention in the body.
4. Edema: A disorder wherein parts of the body tend to swell due to inflammation is called 'edema'.
5. Impaired functioning of the kidney: Impaired functioning of the kidneys makes it very difficult to flush out the excess sodium from the body thus, leading to fluid retention.
There are certain natural diuretics, which can come to your aid in times such as these. Read on to know more:
1. Parsley: Parsley, a very effective diuretic, is an herb that is commonly used for garnishing. It can also help in relieving bladder problems.
2. Black and green tea: Both green and black variants of the humble tea are very effective diuretics; you can enjoy them after a heavy meal to get rid of the bloating.
3. Hawthorn: A type of natural diuretic that is effective in reducing fluid accumulation and increasing urinary excretion. It also helps in treating problems of the kidney.
4. Juniper: A diuretic that has been used since ancient times. Juniper is very effective in removing excess salt and fluids from the body. The advantage of this plant is that it does not lower downs the level of potassium in the body, a side effect of other diuretics.
High blood pressure – or hypertension – is common in both men and women, especially as we age. However, it tends to follow different patterns over the course of men's and women's lifetimes.
"In general, blood pressure in children and adolescents is equivalent between males and females," says cardiologist Dr. Paula Harvey, director of the cardiovascular research program at Women's College Hospital.
That pattern changes after puberty and through the teenage years. Through their reproductive years, women tend to have lower blood pressure than men the same age, and lower rates of hypertension.
"When women transition through menopause things start to change," Dr. Harvey says. "Blood pressure in women starts to increase with age at a faster rate than it does with men, so you get a steepening of that age-related increase in blood pressure. By age 75 or 80, there are more women with high blood pressure than men."
Age-related patterns
With age, specific types of high blood pressure become more prevalent in women compared to men. Around menopause and after, women experience a disproportionate increase in systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) versus diastolic pressure (the lower number). This pattern of a high systolic reading and a normal diastolic is called isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). It is associated with a stiffening of the blood vessels that women experience after menopause.
"Before menopause, we have very pliant, stretchy blood vessels," Dr. Harvey says. "In that second half of life they start to get very stiff, and that's reflected in this change in pattern."
Despite the low diastolic reading, ISH is still a health concern.
"You can't be complacent because your diastolic reading is in the normal range," Dr. Harvey cautions. "When it's coupled with that high systolic reading, that's actually reflecting stiff blood vessels, and we know that is associated with increased adverse outcomes from the hypertension."
Older women with ISH may also experience variations in their blood pressure. It may rise if they are under stress or doing certain activities, then drop down again, then increase again.
"That isolated systolic hypertension pattern is more difficult to control, and is associated with all the risks that high blood pressure is associated with," Dr. Harvey says. "We treat high blood pressure because it leads to increased risk of cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes, heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances, kidney failure and possibly dementia."
Reproductive factors
Superimposed on those lifetime patterns of blood pressure are factors related to reproductive changes.
"Pregnancy can be associated in some women with pregnancy-induced hypertension," Dr. Harvey says. "The contraceptive pill, which is used by very large numbers of women, can cause increased blood pressure in a small number of individuals."
That increase in blood pressure can happen at any time a woman is taking birth control pills. That's why Dr. Harvey recommends that all women taking the pill have their blood pressure checked annually.
Hormone replacement therapy used by perimenopausal and menopausal women does not appear to have the same effects on blood pressure as the contraceptive pill.
Sex and gender must also be taken into account when prescribing medication for hypertension.
"Because we are treating women at different stages in their lifespan we have to be very aware of the best treatments for them," Dr. Harvey says. For example, great care must be taken when choosing medications for women of reproductive age who are likely to become pregnant, or women who are breastfeeding. After menopause, the ISH pattern of hypertension that is common in women responds better to certain classes of medication than others.
Dr. Harvey stresses that some of the most effective interventions for hypertension at any age are not pharmaceutical.
"I'm very invested in lifestyle interventions," she says. "I spend a lot of time talking to my patients about what they can do for themselves before we even start thinking about medication. Top of the list is exercise."
Exercise can be as effective as drug therapy. For example, the ISH pattern of high blood pressure so often seen in postmenopausal women can be reduced with exercise.
"Exercise helps keep the blood vessels stretchy and pliant, so you don't have that progression to very stiff blood vessels associated with ISH," Dr. Harvey explains.
What you put in your body matters, too. The DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet – which stresses fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, fish, low fat intake and low salt – is recommended for people with hypertension. Alcohol recommendations follow the Canadian guidelines for low-risk drinking: no more than two drinks per day for women, and no more than 10 drinks per week in total.
The risks of smoking – including premature cardiovascular disease and death – cannot be overstated.
Other lifestyle factors associated with hypertension include obesity, life stress, and poor quality sleep. Addressing all of these factors can have a powerful effect on blood pressure, and on overall heart health.
Preeclampsia is a high-blood pressure disorder which is unique to pregnancy and develops about 3 to 8% of all pregnant women. According to latest study, it ties alongside it a potential risk of stroke.
According to the study, one in 10 pregnant women may be six times more at a risk of having a stroke during or after childbirth, as compared to normal women.
Women suffering from Preeclampsia commonly complain about high blood pressure, swollen feet, ankles and face and severe headaches. If the current findings published in the journal Stroke are to be believed, Preeclampsia patients have another cause of worry added to their health concern list.
The lead author Eliza C Miller, postdoctoral student at Columbia University in the US said that conditions like chronic hypertension, bleeding or clotting disorders, or urinary tract infections may be at an increased risk of stroke.
Explaining the mechanism behind it the study says, that infections causes inflammation, which can contribute significantly in triggering a stroke, especially amongst the young people.
The study explained that Preeclampsia is an inflammatory disorder, and it could be the infections that could put the woman on the radar of risk.
Researchers analysed health records of 197 women who had a preeclampsia-related stroke and 591 women with preeclampsia who did not have a stroke, as part of their study. They found that the occurrence of attacks and stroke in women suffering from preeclampsia was over 200 per 100,000 deliveries, and more than one in 10 women in the study who had a preeclampsia-related stroke died in the hospital.
Alongside that data, Miller mentioned that it was crucial to take into account that the risk of stroke in women with preeclampsia doesn't end with delivery. And that nearly two-thirds of preeclampsia-related strokes trigger after birth, when the mothers are discharged from the wards.
She also advised, women with preeclampsia to not take any neurological symptoms, such as severe headache, very seriously, especially during the postpartum period.
Blood pressure is basically what happens when the blood exerts force against the walls of the blood vessels. This force matches the cardiac output and also, the resistance experienced from the walls of the blood vessels a process that produces blood pressure. Hypertension is a condition that occurs when this pressure rises above the normal which is anything over 140 over 90 mHg. The symptoms of this condition will include hot flashes, dizzy spells, fatigue, accelerated heartbeat and other debilitating conditions. Sex is also an area that gets affected by hypertension.
Let us find out the causes and treatment for the same.
Hypertension and male sexuality: A chronic patient of hypertension will go through a depletion of the lining that flanks the blood vessels, which in turn, limits the flow of blood. This also means that there is less blood flowing towards the penis and surrounding areas that get activated during sexual intercourse. This makes it difficult for many hypertensive men to achieve and retain an erection for long enough to enjoy sexual activity. This problem is most commonly known as erectile dysfunction. Also, these blood pressure problems can have an effect on ejaculation which leads to lack of sexual satisfaction. Many drugs prescribed for such patients may also lead to this problem as a side effect, which causes further fear and anxiety for the patient.
Hypertension and female sexuality: While the effect of high blood pressure on a woman's sexuality is not as conclusive as its effect on male sexuality, it is a medically proven fact that decreased blood flow due to high blood pressure will also lead to a reduction in the blood flow to the vaginal area. This can lead to many problems including vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse, lack of arousal, difficulty in achieving an orgasm and relationship as well as anxiety issues.
Treatment: For women, better lubrication for better arousal is one of the key factors. For men, the use of safe medication as far as hypertension is concerned, is crucial. Medicines like sildenafil and tadafil as well as vardenafil are not known to interfere with the blood pressure medication. Yet, it is important to contact the doctor before having any medication.
Therapy: Better responses can be garnered by building intimacy, an area that a sex therapist or sexologist can help you with. With the help of proper therapy, the patient can learn to relax and enjoy the act with lots of foreplay and experiences that will help in building closeness like taking a warm bath together and other such activities. Promoting overall health can also help in improving your sex life if you are a patient of hypertension. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a cardiologist.
High blood pressure or hypertension is a condition where your blood pressure crosses the normal limit of 140/90. If untreated, it may lead to heart disease and stroke. It can be dangerous as it makes your heart work harder to pump out the blood. Excessive consumption of salt, an unhealthy diet, obesity, lack of physical activities and stress are some of the common causes of high blood pressure. For most of us, our lifestyle resonates with one or more of the above factors which is why its is not surprising that high blood pressure is affecting the young and the old alike.
While high blood pressure is turning out to be common and more and more people are getting diagnosed, a new study reveals something rather shocking. As per a study, published in the journal Canadian Family Physician, almost 20% of the people who are being treated for high blood pressure may not really have it! Researchers of the study believe that it might be a case of misdiagnosis as a result of doctors using manual devices to measure blood pressure.
To prove their point, they conducted a survey among Canadian family doctors in 2016 which revealed that 52% of the 769 respondents used a manual tensiometer to measure blood pressure. Only 43 per cent used an automatic device. The manual devices that measures blood pressure is considered to use a dated technology that often leads to errors and misdiagnosis.
"About 20 per cent of people receiving treatment for hypertension don't actually have a problem and do not need medication. This is due mainly to the fact that their blood pressure was improperly measured. Clinicians should use automatic devices," said lead author Janusz Kaczorowski, Professor at Universite de Montreal in Canada.
It is recommended to use automated devices to measure high blood pressure because they tend to eliminate something known as the white-coat syndrome in which a person may report higher levels of blood pressure due to the stress of being in a doctor's office and human interaction. The correct diagnosis of high blood pressure can definitely help in reducing the incidence of heart disease.
High blood pressure can be effectively managed with the help of a good diet and regular exercises. People are also advised to keep a check on their salt intake. According to Wellness Expert, Preeti Rao, certain home remedies like lemon, watermelon seeds and garlic can help lowering high levels of blood pressure, though, you must always consult your doctor before changing or altering your medicines and opting for a natural remedy.

Operation to catch the big cat, which had prowled the periphery of the city scaring residents, was launched a month ago
For the residents in the area hemmed in by Tumkur Road, Magadi Road and Nice Road on the periphery of the city, it was a curfew spanning more than a month. An adult leopard paid regular nocturnal visits to the area and had — from the time it was first spotted in early July — killed a calf, three goats, three dogs and a sheep. The wild carnivore had kept residents indoors after dark, a self-imposed curfew that was strictly obeyed.
On Friday that curfew was lifted when the leopard, a magnificent animal in its prime, was finally trapped by forest officials. It ended more than a month of restless, fearful nights for residents and days of worrying for forest officials. The big cat was caught close to Dasanpura off Tumkur Road next to Jindal Nature in the wee hours of Friday.

Oil Embargo Changed
In the early 1970s, American petroleum consumption was increasing while domestic oil production was declining. The result was that Americans were becoming more and more dependent on foreign supplies of oil. In spite of this, though, few people seemed overly concerned. Domestic policy makers argued that America's thirst for oil was immune from political, or any other type of disruption, because the Arab oil exporters couldn't afford to lose any revenue, especially from the US market. They were wrong. In 1973, an oil embargo was imposed by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) immediately led to country-wide fuel shortages and sky-rocketing prices. Some of the staff at Suburban of Garden City, a local Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep dealer in Garden City, MI, say they remember it well. It was a scary time for everyone, especially car dealers.
Background to the Energy Crisis:
In 1948, the Allied powers from WWII had sectioned off a section of the British-controlled territory of Palestine in order to create the state of Israel. Finally, disenfranchised Jews from around the world had a place to call home. However, much of the local Arab population refused to acknowledge the new Israeli state. The result was that local tensions escalated into full-scale wars. One of these Arab-Israeli wars, the Yom Kipper Conflict, began in early October 1973, when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. During the conflict, the Soviet Union began sending arms to Egypt and Syria, and the United States started to send arms to Israel. The result? Arabs around the world were furious.
The Embargo:
In response, members of the OPEC reduced their petroleum production and proclaimed an embargo on oil that was being shipped to the United States and the Netherlands, the main supporters of Israel. Though the Yom Kippur War ended in late October, the embargo and limitations on oil production continued for months, sparking an international energy crisis. Washington's earlier assumption that an oil boycott would never happen were profoundly wrong.
Energy Crisis: Effects in the US:
In the three months after the embargo was announced, the price of oil quadrupled. After decades of abundant supply, Americans now faced price hikes and fuel shortages. State and national leaders called for measures to conserve energy, such as asking gas stations to close every other day and homeowners to turn down their thermostats. The United States was energy starved.
The Automotive Industry:
In addition to causing major problems in the lives of consumers, the energy crisis was a huge blow to the American automotive industry. For decades, Detroit had turned out bigger and bigger cars, and with cheap energy available, it seemed to be a permanent trend. But the oil embargo lead directly to the public's immediate desire to drive more frugal vehicles, such as the ones that the Japanese and Europeans had been making. Thus began the small car revolution whereby little, fuel efficient sedans from and Japan and other countries drew immediate interest from the car buying public. Detroit did catch up eventually but it took several years. With a decades old "big car" mentality, it took a while for Detroit to embrace and adopt one for smaller vehicles. Maybe this was a good thing but small, highly efficient small cars are still being sold today and few consumers have any interest in the massive cars of the 1950s.

Pest Control For Your Business
You have worked hard to create a business that is profitable and provides a great service. You do not want to let a pest problem cause you a decline in clients, or even cause a health hazard. Residential pest problems may be bad, but to have a commercial pest problem can be even worse, because there can be even more pests. There are a few different things that you can do to help prevent pest problems, but in the end it could be best to hire a professional, such as the Frontier Exterminating Company, to take care of the pest problem. Here are a few benefits of having professional pest control.
Does Not Matter The Pest
A huge benefit of having a professional come into your business to conduct pest control is that they are experts in every type of pest. They do not care if you are a restaurant that is suffering from a mouse infestation, or an office building that has a plethora of ants. When you hire a professional to come in and take out the pests they are going to be able to see the pest problem, diagnose the pest problem, and then take care of the pest problem.
If you are battling the pests on your own, you may be in for a long hard fight. If you hire a professional to take care of the problem you are going to be able to forget about the problem and go back to thinking about how to make your business more profitable. The great thing about most professional pest control is that many will offer a guarantee on their work, so if you see bugs come back within a couple months they will come back and spray for free. Many of the companies that will do commercial pest control will come by a few times a year and keep your building pest free.
Saves You Money In The Long Run
If pests are are a serious problem you could end up spending a lot of money on your own trying to figure out how to best take care of the problem. You could spend a lot of money on pest control supplies, but you may also lose clientele or even lose production from employees if they are worried about pests all the time. You do not want to lose this type of money, so a commercial pest control program may be just what you need.

Early lifeEdit
|You think you created the archangels to bring light? No. You made them to create lesser beings; to make you large, to make you lord! It was ego! You wanted to be big!
At some point after their creation, they and God went into war with the Darkness and together, while they couldn't destroy it, they succeeded in binding it. God then created a mark, later to be called The Mark of Cain, that would serve as both lock and key for the Darkness, which he gave to his most beloved son and most trusted lieutenant, Lucifer. After the banishing of the Darkness and helping create Heaven, Michael personally raised his younger brother Lucifer, and accordingly, Lucifer took care of Gabriel, and showed him different tricks.
Following the imprisonment of the Leviathans in Purgatory and creation of mankind, God asked all his children to kneel before them. Although the other three archangels complied, Lucifer refused, and led a rebellion trying to overthrow God because when he was trusted with the Mark, it corrupted Lucifer and drove him to be jealous of humanity. Therefore, Michael, on God's command, defeated Lucifer and banished his brother out of Heaven and into Hell. During the turmoil, Gabriel escaped to Earth to avoid taking sides while Raphael chose to side with God and Michael.
After God's departure from Heaven, the archangels, according to Metatron, ferociously whined, cried, and wailed. Whilst they wanted their father back, over time, however, they began to shift their attention into ruling the Universe in his absence. Although immensely powerful themselves, to rule the universe they needed the Word of God. However, Metatron, the Scribe of God, predicted the archangels' decision, and proceeded to leave Heaven to protect the tablets and himself. Lucifer, however, was able to take possession of the Angel Tablet sometime after and had it placed in one of his crypts. The archangels were also believed to have killed Lucifer's elite order of demons, the Knights of Hell by everyone who knew of them. However, unknown to everyone, the truth was that the leader of the Knights, Cain, killed all but Abaddon himself instead of the archangels. According to Cain, only Abaddon knew the truth though Crowley somehow later found out.
Present LifeEdit
For millions of years, Lucifer was imprisoned in Hell's depths, Michael and Raphael remained in Heaven under the guise of being God's representatives, and Gabriel lived amongst the humans and the pagan deities under a false identity.
Raphael was entrusted with watching over the new prophet Chuck Shurley (who unknown to him was really his father disguised) and killed Castiel once he rebelled against Heaven and tried to foil Michael's plans.
Eventually, Dean Winchester broke the first seal in Hell, setting the first stage of The Apocalypse. With this done, the angels were sent to Earth to stop the seals from being broken. However, Michael wanted the seals to be broke to battle his brother and defeat him as destined. Very soon, the final seal to Lucifer's cage which was the death of Lilith broken by Sam Winchester and Lucifer was freed which was the first sign of the The Apocalypse.
Readying for battle, Michael sent several angels led by Zachariah to get his true vessel Dean Winchester to prepare for the battle but his efforts were foiled, due to the latter's refusal and the efforts of Castiel who was resurrected by God. Likewise, Lucifer himself made contact with his true vessel Sam Winchester but similar to his brother, Sam refused to give his consent.
Castiel soon confronted and trapped his brother Raphael to demand God's location but was told he was dead by the latter. Castiel refused to believe this and left Raphael trapped though the latter escaped sometime later.
Not caring which side wins in the war but only wanting the fight to end, Gabriel lured the Winchesters to him and attempted to get them to give their consent to fight. His attempts had failed and his identity was exposed by them and his own brother Castiel.
Very soon, an impatient Michael made one last attempt to get Dean's consent but failed in his efforts were unsuccessful. Having little options, Michael settled on using a substitute vessel in the form of Adam Milligan, the half-brother of his and Lucifer's true vessel. After Adam consented, Michael slowly prepared for the battle.
By 2009, the year of The Apocalypse, after the Winchesters were captured by Deities, Gabriel decided to aid Winchesters. Gabriel fought against his three siblings and their desire to fight each other to end everything as he knew humanity was better than the angels even if they were flawed. He was supposedly killed in a confrontation with Lucifer.
Making contact with Death, Dean and Sam are given the keys to Lucifer's cage which causes them to plan for Sam to give consent but take control of his body to throw Lucifer back into his prison. With this plan in mind, Sam tracks down Lucifer and finally consents to Lucifer's possession even though the Devil reveals he already knows of their plan to try to force him back into his Cage. Despite this, Sam goes forward with the plan in an agreed proposition with Lucifer: if Sam wins in their struggle for supremacy, he may jump in the hole and take Lucifer with him; but if Lucifer wins, he wins. Sam then says "Yes". After a brief struggle of control, Lucifer then takes full hold of Sam's body and closes the cage, while taking the rings and vanishes from the area.
With his vessel, Lucifer travels to Stull Cemetery outside Lawrence, Kansas, the place where he is fated to meet his older brother, Michael for their final confrontation. After a few words, the two prepare for battle but before either can make a move however, Dean Winchester arrives in the Impala and demands to speak to Sam. His actions are met with anger by the two angels who want him to leave so they can have their showdown.
Before they can attempt to remove Dean from the scene, Castiel appears and hurls a molotov cocktail of holy oil at the elder archangel, banishing him. Lucifer, outraged over Castiel's actions, snaps his fingers and obliterates the rebellious angel. He then begins to beat Dean but is shot several times by Bobby Singer before he turns and telekinetically snaps Bobby's neck. Continuing his assault on Dean, the Archangel states that he will break every one of Dean's bones and make Sam feel it. Despite the brutal beating he takes, Dean does not resist and merely tells Sam that he will not leave him.
As Lucifer attacked Dean, Sam managed to regain control of his body and using the cage's keys to open the cage. Michael tried to stop him but was grabbed by Sam which imprisons both Michael and Lucifer along with their vessels in Lucifer's Cage.
In the aftermath of their imprisonment, Castiel was resurrected and improved by God which allowed him to heal Dean and resurrect Bobby. Sam was later freed by Castiel though his soul was left behind, presumably tortured by the archangels in retaliation for his actions.
This act left Raphael as the only remaining Archangel and he took control over Heaven in Michael's place.
A year later, Raphael acted as Heaven's leader and intended to release his brothers from the cage and restart the Apocalypse but his way of thinking was challenged by Castiel which resulted in a war of Heaven with the supporters of both Castiel and Raphael. Raphael was killed by an empowered Castiel.
Lucifer's ReturnEdit
Lucifer did not return to the surface until 2016, where he attempted to possess Sam once more but was refused instead turned to Castiel and he became the only Archangel active and alive, his brother Michael said to having gone insane. Lucifer seized control of Heaven and Hell before he was captured by The Darkness who was liberated from her imprisonment. After making amends with his father, Lucifer aided him, the Winchesters and their allies until he was defeated by her and presumed dead.
Months later, Lucifer resurfaced and sought to destroy his father's creations after he felt used by him. The Devil soon possessed the president and produced a child with the latter's lover. However, Lucifer was banished by Team Free Will and presumed re-imprisoned in the cage. Unfortunately, Lucifer was not sent back to the Cage with Michael rather he was placed back in the vessel of Nick whose body was repaired to act as a prison by the machinations of Crowley who could control the vessel at will. For sometime, Crowley subjected Lucifer to torture but Lucifer coerced the demons into undoing Crowley's devices while having Dagon watch over his unborn son before he was able to break free. Lucifer soon escaped and went to search for his child after Dagon was killed. Despite his efforts to destroy the Winchesters, he along with Mary Winchester was sent to another world through a Rift created by his own son.
A threat from another reality and the Fate of HeavenEdit
While Lucifer was in the parallel world, he encountered the counterpart of Michael who revealed that he killed his Lucifer and intended to the same to him which ignited a fight between the two. Michael easily defeated and captured Lucifer and reading his mind to see his world, which he made plans to invade by using the latter's grace and a prophet. They were successful in making a spell which opened a rift, though Lucifer used the rift's creation as a distraction to escape his captors and jumps through the rift, returning to his world. Michael was not amused by this act and ordered Kevin to find a way to create a new rift, so he could enter the other world.
Due to Michael's actions, he was weakened and was forced to make peace with his brother and old enemy Castiel as he warned him about Michael, whom he knew would not give up in invading their world. After they were captured by Asmodeus, the latter remarked if Lucifer was right that he'll definitely need Jack on his side.
After Lucifer escaped him, Asmodeus sent Arthur Ketch after him to kill him before he replenished his strength. While struggling in his weakened state, Lucifer made plans to regain his strength by taking the grace of other angels before he was confronted by Castiel, the Winchesters and Ketch but he escaped with the help of Anael. Ketch offered to be a double agent for the Winchesters, due to the threat of Michael.
Lucifer then took control of Heaven promising to build new angels if the others provided some of their grace to him so as to have strength. After Ketch returned to Asmodeus when failing in his task, the latter stated he had a means to kill Lucifer before the latter got to full strength and have something to deal with Michael if he invades.
The item was an archangel blade which Ketch revealed can only be used by an archangel but Asmodeus revealed he has just the thing to solve that problem which was a captive that turned out to be a disheveled but still living Gabriel.
Jack was imprisoned by Michael after he refused to open a rift for Michael to invade the main world. After Jack escaped with Mary Winchester, Michael dispatches Zachariah and a squad of angels to pursue them and bring Jack back to him. The young Nephilim was forced to deal with attacking angels and was successful in repelling them.
In the main universe, Castiel was forced to pry the ingredients from a corrupted Donatello for a spell that could open the rift to the Apocalypse World, he revealed they needed Archangel grace.
Gabriel is shown to be kept in Lucifer's old cage in the throne room of Crowley's old lair. Arthur witnesses Gabriel, who now sports a fearful and nervous personality, having some of his grace extracted by Asmodeus who injects himself with it to power up. Gabriel witnesses the interactions between Arthur and Asmodeus and appears terrified at Asmodeus' beating of Arthur.
After this, Arthur goes against Asmodeus and liberates the captive Gabriel who was unwilling but forced to escape with the man. Arthur brought Gabriel back to the Men of Letters bunker where he showed him to Sam and Dean who were shocked at his survival. They then used the nervous Gabriel's grace for a ritual. Gabriel cringes away in fear until Arthur soothes him and instead supplies the Winchesters with some of the grace Asmodeus had already extracted.
Later, Sam cuts the stitches holding Gabriel's mouth shut and asks Gabriel what happened to him. Before Gabriel can respond, Dean interrupts with the intention to travel to Apocalypse World immediately. Once the rift is open, Dean entrusts Gabriel into Sam's hands as he and Arthur pass through, leaving Sam and Gabriel alone in the bunker.
Sam and Castiel are able to learn how Gabriel is still alive as he writes on the walls of his room of how he faked his own death during the Apocalypse to abscond from his responsibilities but was eventually captured and sold to Asmodeus. The two work to try to fix Gabriel who, in his traumatized state, is initially unresponsive to anything. After Asmodeus invades the bunker, Gabriel recovers and kills the last Prince of Hell. He then absconds from his responsibilities once more and takes off again.
Castiel returns to Heaven where he attempts to seek out the aid of the angels in finding Gabriel who he reveals is alive, to their surprise. He also states he needs them to help in the conflict of the invading Michael of the parallel world. Castiel discovers that Lucifer has absconded from his duties as Ruler of Heaven and Naomi, believed dead since the Fall of the Angels, is in charge. Naomi explains that there are less than a dozen angels left alive and as a result, Heaven is running out of power. Without Gabriel returning to Heaven to stabilize it, the remaining angels will soon burn out and Heaven will crumble, releasing the billions upon billions of souls upon the Earth. Castiel agrees to help the angels find Gabriel in hopes that, along with helping to defeat Michael, he will return to Heaven to help with the situation there.
Sam and Dean track Gabriel with Rowena MacLeod's help but the latter sensed the spell and went to them. After a conflict with two Deities, he revealed his intention of hunting down and killing the deity Loki who sold him to Asmodeus and decided to get his revenge for the suffering he endured. As he is weakened and wounded, the Winchesters tend to him and offered him help but only if he will help them in their endeavors and he begrudgingly agreed.
Tracking down Loki and his sons at a motel, Gabriel and the Winchesters kill Sleipnir and his men. Loki confronted Gabriel in the hallway outside and noted that Gabriel didn't have the sword designed to kill him. Gabriel claimed that he "wanted to do this one old school" and tossed away the sword he was holding. Loki telekinetically flung Gabriel against a wall and began viciously kicking him and mocked Gabriel's inability to keep one promise and then have the audacity to ask Loki for help again. Loki continued his attack, demanding to know if Gabriel thought that he and his sons deserved to die for Gabriel's spinelessness. As Loki grabbed Gabriel again, Dean slid him the correct sword and Gabriel pinned Loki to the wall, holding the sword against his chest. Helpless to stop Gabriel, Loki mocked Gabriel for needing someone to save him again and called Gabriel a joke and a failure that stood for nothing and would eventually die for nothing. Telling Loki "you first," Gabriel drove the sword through Loki's heart, killing him.
After killing Loki, Gabriel thanked the brothers for their help even though he knew they weren't keen on it. Gabriel then decided help them in defeating Michael, as they question his change in mind which he states is because he promised. Gabriel told them he has decided to move on from his past as a Trickster now that he had his revenge and they accept his change. Sam speaks to Gabriel and asked how he really felt as he replied that he felt good about it. Though in truth, Gabriel really felt empty and believed he had nothing more to do and decided to help.
Lucifer drowns his sorrows in a bar and laments that he only wants his son before he is surprised to see Gabriel who disguised himself as he served Lucifer a magical spiked drink before he reveals himself and Lucifer is surprised to see him alive. Lucifer tries to punch Gabriel but he is too weakened to do so, as he questions Gabriel's survival but is taunted for being tricked years ago. Rowena then helps in binding and capturing Lucifer. Gabriel is confused to hear Lucifer beg for death, though knocks him out. Lucifer is used to power the rift until the others find Mary and Jack, Gabriel joins them in the journey to Apocalypse World. During this time, Gabriel is told by Castiel of Heaven's state and how it may need him to maintain its state. He is reluctant since he once abandoned it.
Back in the prime world, Lucifer works on breaking his bonds and taunting Rowena who retaliates by revealing that Jack is in Apocalypse World. Finally, Lucifer angrily breaks free and attacks Rowena who magically repels him, inadvertently sending Lucifer through the rift into Apocalypse World.
The group come across humans who they save from vampires and are told that Jack and Mary are at a camp which is where they are headed and there is a shortcut but vampires are there, Gabriel wanted to avoid it but Castiel tells him it is the best way. Traveling through a tunnel, they deal with swarms of vampires where they lose Floyd and Sam.
Meanwhile, Lucifer was confronted by some of Michael's forces and consumed their grace to fuel himself. He discovered the tunnel and resurrected Sam, deciding to use him as a present for Jack who he wanted to make a good impression on.
Very soon, the others find an area with warding which halts Castiel until Gabriel gets rid of it before they are found by armed humans led by Mary who takes them to the camp and they find Jack. When Jack becomes distraught at Sam's fate and asks why they didn't revive him, Gabriel tells his nephew that they aren't strong enough to resurrect Sam before the latter arrives with Lucifer. Lucifer greets his son as Dean has him stay away while ordering Gabriel to kill Lucifer who states he can help them fight Michael. He allows Dean to place Supernatural Handcuffs on him as he is escorted through camp and fulfills his desire to speak to his son. Lucifer described the other archangels and pointed him out to Gabriel who warned Jack not to trust Lucifer.
After saving some humans, the group decide to evacuate through the Rift to prime earth with Gabriel and Lucifer helping. The plan is nearly stopped by the arriving Michael whose appearance shocks the Winchesters and Gabriel at finally seeing him. Wanting revenge for his humiliation, Lucifer attacked him and blasted Michael before he was tossed aside by him and the latter advanced on the rift until he spotted Gabriel who he was shocked to see.
Deciding to make up for his past of running away, Gabriel stood his ground and attacked Michael who effortlessly killed him. Weakened, Lucifer tries to follow the Winchesters through but is tossed to the ground by Sam and left behind with Michael as the rift closes. An infuriated Michael puts his sights on Lucifer.
Alone with Michael and Gabriel's corpse, Lucifer offers a deal to Michael where he will help Michael reach the Main Universe. Once they arrive, Michael will be able to take over the universe while Lucifer gets Jack back. As a gesture of his sincerity, Lucifer provides Michael with the ritual to reopen the rift.
Lucifer and Michael arrive in the Main Universe where Lucifer works to entice his son into leaving the Earth and Michael attempts to kill the Winchesters and Castiel. During a confrontation at the bunker, Michael is severely injured by Jack before Lucifer's arrival leads to the revelation of his own deeds. With Jack turning against him, Lucifer steals Jack's grace, rendering Lucifer super-charged. Lucifer teleports away with Jack and Sam who hangs on for the ride.
With Lucifer poised to destroy the universe and remake it in his own image, Dean offers Michael a deal where he will become Michael's vessel to battle Lucifer, in effect becoming the Michael Sword. In return, Michael will allow Dean to retain control of his body while Michael powers him for the fight. With a common enemy in Lucifer, Michael agrees to the deal and Dean becomes his vessel. Dean battles Lucifer in an abandoned church, using several of Michael's powers to fight. In his super-charged state, Lucifer proves to be too strong for the Michael-powered Dean and attempts to smite him. Sam is able to toss Dean an archangel blade as Lucifer tries to smite Dean, allowing Dean to kill Lucifer by stabbing him in the heart with the archangel blade.
In the aftermath of Lucifer's death, the Winchesters and Jack celebrate only to have Michael suddenly go back on his deal with Dean. Michael seizes full control of Dean's body and departs, loose upon the Main Universe in his true vessel.
Lurking DangerEdit
Three weeks after the demise of Lucifer, Michael wandered the Earth and asked several people (including humans, angels, and demons) of what they desired most but was disappointed to find nothing of interest. Michael soon captured a vampire, he believed with it that he found someone who knew what they desired as it wanted to eat.
Michael abducted several vampires and decided to cure them of their weaknesses though it resulted in many deaths and escapes. Eventually, he is able to successfully cure them of their weakness and decides put his plan in building a monster army into action. Michael lures a female werewolf to him after overpowering her, he forces her to summon her pack leader for meeting. After he reveals his archangel status to them, he negotiates a deal with the intent of improving the monster race as he views the monster race as pure since they only kill for survival. He also assures them that angels nor demons would be hindrance to his plans of wiping out humanity and he has found a way to help overcome their weaknesses. Michael prepared a few of his enhanced monster for a trap he set for Sam, Mary, and Bobby. Much later for unknown reasons, Michael leaves Dean's body and his whereabouts are unknown.
In The Scar, it is revealed that before Michael left Dean's body, he sought after Alternate Kaia and assured offered to form an alliance, but she refused and attacked him instead. Although the Archangel defeated Kaia and tossed her aside she managed to use Michael's arrogant mistake of not immediately dispatching her to trip him, regain her spear and wounded him in the arm before escaping. The wound is still visible in form of a scar that prominently stands out on Dean's skin. The spear seemed to be another weapon that can harm an archangel and Michael sends his monsters to obtain it.
In Nightmare Logic, its revealed that that Michael has planted dozens of his enhanced monsters in quiet places so as to draw out hunters and kill them. One monster confused Dean for Michael until the latter informed him this was not the case but told Dean there were several monsters around. After killing the monster, Dean and Sam spread the word to other hunters of Michael's plans and his monsters so they will be better prepared.
During Unhuman Nature, Nick kills the man who was possessed by the demon that killed his family. Afterwards, Nick expresses remorse and says he wants to feel the same way as when Lucifer was possessing him, not feeling any remorse or sorrow from his actions. In the Empty, Lucifer forms as a liquid skeleton and opens his red glowing eyes after hearing Nick's prayer.
As of Byzantium, Castiel saves Heaven from The Shadow and is given Michael's location as a reward from the angels.
In The Spear, Michael takes possession of an unnamed woman, and plans to start his plan of using grace-enhanced monsters to start his world domination. He is also able to take control of Dean once again. Michael reveals he left a "backdoor" open in order to repossess Dean, and only left so he could crush Dean's spirit and make Dean less resistant next time he possessed him. He then unleashes his monster army onto the city.
During Nihilism, Michael taunts Team Free Will but is captured by them. Michael is not fazed as he has his monsters to aid him but they are teleported to the Bunker by Billie. Sam and Castiel enter Dean's mind in order to help him expel Michael, and it is revealed that Michael has put Dean inside his own subconscious with the intent of keeping him content as so Dean cannot revoke his consent. However, Dean sees through the illusion and fights off Michael. When learning expelling him could have backlash on him, he instead locks Michael inside a room within his subconscious, acting as a "cage" for Michael and rendering him trapped in Dean's mind. Michael is shown struggling to break free while Dean tries to maintain control of himself.
In Ouroboros, Dean is knocked unconscious and Michael is able to escape his mind. However, instead of retaking possession of his true vessel, Michael seeks out an alternative vessel, Rowena MacLeod, who, with the centuries of using Magic, would make a robust vessel for him to use. Michael goes to her with the intention of killing Dean, Sam and Castiel so nobody can interfere with his plans again. Michael threatens Rowena with killing the ones she cares about, and reluctantly, Rowena accepts, and she becomes possessed by Michael. He begins a killing spree and tortures his enemies for humiliating him. However, this is short-lived as Jack is able to exorcise Michael from Rowena's body, where he incinerates Michael's vessel-less form and absorbs his grace, killing Michael and restoring Jack's powers.
In Game Night, Nick attempts to resurrect Lucifer from the Empty with the help of demons. Kidnapping Prophet Donatello Redfield and boosting his abilities using angel grace, Nick is able to make contact with the awakened Lucifer and Lucifer instructs Nick in a ritual to resurrect him that will require Jack's blood. Nick pretends that he has poisoned Donatello to get close to the Winchesters, finally leading them to the Prophet after getting Jack's blood from a head-butt.
After severely injuring Sam, Nick escapes and performs the ritual in an empty cabin. A portal to the Empty opens from which Lucifer emerges in the form of a black viscous humanoid with wings. As Lucifer prepares to repossess Nick and complete his resurrection, Jack arrives with Mary Winchester and sends Lucifer back to the Empty, closing the portal behind him. To keep Nick from trying to resurrect Lucifer again, Jack brutally kills him.
God's BetrayalEdit
In Moriah, after the Winchesters refuse to kill Lucifer's Nephilim son Jack, God decides to bring about the end of their world.
In Back and to the Future, the demon Belphegor reveals to Dean that God threw open every door in Hell, including the door to Lucifer's Cage where the Main Universe Michael remains trapped. However, the last that Belphegor heard, Michael is still just sitting in the Cage though Belphegor suggests that the archangel will want revenge if he does get out.
In Our Father, Who Aren't in Heaven, the Winchesters and Castiel seek out the help of Michael after learning from the Demon Tablet that God has a secret fear which he only shares with his favorite who they believe to be Michael. However, they learn that Michael has recently escaped from both the Cage and Hell.Now on Earth, still in the vessel of Adam Milligan with whom he shares control, Michael is left directionless following the deaths of the other archangels and God supposedly still being gone. He talks with Adam in a diner as he eats when he takes control as Lilith arrives. She tells him that God had ordered her to bring Michael to him, but Michael refuses to believe the demon. When she doesn't go after he tells her to leave, he moves to obliterate her in the diner. He then sees that all the people there had witnessed it and then erases their memories with a snap of his fingers.
Donatello Redfield had sensed the burst of Michael's angelic power from Lilith's death and feels as Michael begins moving across the planet. When he stops and settles in Cairo, Egypt, he informs Dean to where he is. Knowing they can't get to Michael before he moves again, Castiel prays to the archangel, who agrees to meet with Castiel before being trapped and captured by the Seraphim and the Winchesters.
Taking Michael back to the Men of Letters bunker, the three attempt to convince the archangel of God's betrayal and their need for his help, but Michael refuses to listen and help even when Adam sides with his brothers. Adam eventually gets Michael to admit that he feels doubting God would be a betrayal of everything he is as the Good and Favorite Son. Finally, Castiel resorts to showing Michael several of his memories of God's betrayals including him masquerading as a Prophet, the fight with the Darkness, the invasion of the Apocalypse World Michael, Sam shooting God with the Equalizer and the murder of Jack.The revelation leaves Michael completely disillusioned, particularly as Michael was unaware of the existence of other archangels and in particular, other Michael's. Michael provides Dean and Castiel with the spell they need to trap God and opens a twelve-hour rift to Purgatory so that they can get the Leviathan Blossom they will need for the spell. Michael refuses to aid them further and the archangel departs after allowing Dean to speak with his brother.
