FUBAR - Tips & Tricks
Noticed a fair few people where having issues with this difficulty and that is understandable - It's a bitch in a lot of places. So using
guide - credit to immikeulate - but a few edits and extra info, I thought it'll help!
Tips & Tricks
Though these guys may get in the way or be useless sometimes, they really are not there to annoy you. These guys will be the heart and soul of killing and saving your life in the long run, so use them.
If an enemy AI is a little too close to you, target him to take the heat off of you, so it gives you more time to kill off other enemies or take a break. In some occasions, it may be best to let the enemy AI bunch up, so the 'Stun' command pops up. This is really handy, as it leaves all the AI stunned, giving you the chance to make a dent the amount of people you have to finish off.
He's actually the best squad mate for a couple of reason. One he uses a heavy weapon, so when attacking or targeting an enemy via a command, he'll unleash a hail of bullets! The other great thing about him is that he's the only one who throws grenades. Not all the time, but occasionally he'll launch one into the group of AI and it'll be a big help. Not only for clearing a group of guys, but for the dust it may kick up.
Anyone at a distance will get killed with one hit by him. So when you see people at a distance, command your guys on them and it'll save you having to take time at aiming and even wasting ammo. Other than this, Lugo is another good back-up.
So if you've read the points above, hopefully you should have enough to last you. Ammo is a little scarce around the game, but when you come across some, don't pick it up straight away. Search the dead bodies first to grab anything little and then open the ammo crates.
Just make sure that if you're only missing a small amount of bullets to not open the crate right away because it'll be a waste. Try and save it until you feel it's the right time, so it doesn't go to waste.
There's a few that you're going to want to make sure you have in your arsenal at ALL times (if possible).
Most common, but best assault gun in the game. Loads of AI enemies use it, so ammo is plenty, and I personally feel that having it set with the silencer attachment, it works a bit better.
Again, a very powerful assault rifle. This will be a 2/3 hit kill weapon on most enemies - bar the juggernauts - and is super handy. It's also a must, due to it's optic scope. This will save you a lot of time and hassle with anyone at a distance. Aim for the head, shoot one bullet and smile.
I don't prefer this over the M4A1, but it's very useful because of the grenade launcher as it's secondary. Personally, it kicks up way too much to get those headshots.
I wouldn't really keep these guns on you at all times, because they're very rare and ammo off the AI is little to none. But when in a sticky situation and you need to clear a spot, hands down they'll do the job. They'll kill a Juggernaut in an instant.
Always try and aim for the head. I know in some situations it's hard, but there's a nice little trick. When in cover, you'll notice that the reticle is still visible (not when using certain scopes thought). So with that in mind and you in cover, control it over to the enemy you want to shoot at/kill and with a bit of skill and general guessing, you can actually aim for the head.
Once lined up, quickly press LT and then RT and you'll most likely be aiming at the upper body or head. It's a quick and easy way to aim at your targets without having to come out of cover until the last moment.
This leads me onto blind-firing. This is actually pretty accurate, so if someone is close but you can't risk coming out of cover, us it. Remember you have the reticle there for guidance! You may also want to head over to the Options and turn on Auto-Aim. It'll head lock onto any AI and also auto move up to the head in some occasions.
Don't rush. In none of the missions is there a time limit, so don't feel like you must complete the game in record time.
Good point here. Play the game by checkpoint to checkpoint and not chapter by chapter. If you've had enough for one night and have just reached a checkpoint, stop there. Don't feel like you have to stress yourself out anymore by getting to the end.
Don't go out of your way for these if you're swamped with enemies, but if you can achieve one or more of these, do it. Doing so will net you a nice bunch of ammo and grenades.
Very handy when you want to move position or clear an area of guys.
As well as killing groups of enemies in a nice radius, they're also kick up dust clouds when thrown on sand, which is most of the time. Doing so will help you clean any remaining guys without you being harmed, but it'll also help you move positions and cover.
Same as above, but try and stick it onto one of the AI. If done, they'll run right up to their squad and hopefully you'll take more than one out. Take note, these take longer to detonate that the standard explosive.
Again, these will help you kill off guys without worry of being shot at.
As well as being a life saver, it can also get you killed. Not all cover is indestructible, so take that into consideration. It's also worth noting that, if an enemy is higher than you, they'll most likely get some hits on you, so try and find some side cover.
This is mainly for when you take control of them. Again, personally, I always crouch. Though the aiming is off a little, it'll save you from getting hit. If you need to get a more accurate shot off, press in LS, kill the guys quickly, then go straight back into a crouch.
Squad Down:
Tricky really. Do you save them or get your remaining squad mate to? This all depends on your location, cover you can take and who's closet. Take these into consideration before you rush half way across the map to be the hero.
In some areas, it'll be noted to you that taking a quiet stealthy approach is the best tactic. For this, get Adams/Lugo to do the work. They'll sync their attacks and it'll be a one hit kill all the way. This saves you making a mistake or wasting ammo.
The spawns in this game are not infinite, so feel free to hang back and take your time to pick each guy off one by one. It's also worth noting that the spots and areas the enemy spawns are always the same, so use this to your advantage if a certain area is giving you some trouble.
This also goes for what enemy moves up on you or throws a grenade, it'll be the same one each time unless you intervene.
This is mainly for what enemies to kill first. If you a CQC guy is running at you, deal with him first. If he gets close and hits you, it's an instant kill. Then there's the Juggernauts. They'll take a bit more damage than usual, but there's a few things I've learnt.
First off, I command my guys to kill any normal enemies about and I'll concentrate on the him. Aim for the face with every shot and don't settle for anything else. If he's shooting at you, take cover and only shoot during the slight pauses or when he's reloading. If you want to get a fair few good hits on him, throw a flash or for some nice damage a few grenades.

Magazine article Editor & Publisher
ASNE Study: Percentage of Minority Journalists Down Slightly
Article excerpt
The percentage of minority journalists working in U.S .newsrooms decreased slightly to 13.62% this year from 13.87% a year ago, according to the American Society of Newspaper Editors' annual survey, which included full-time online journalists for the first time. This marks just the second time since the survey began in 1978 that the percentage of minorities had dropped. The last decline occurred in 2001. But, while the percentage of minorities fell, the number of minority journalists actually increased, by about 200, to 7,800, the report showed. The survey also found nearly 2,000 full-time journalists working only on their newspapers' Web sites, with 16% minorities. "The good news in the online operations doesn't outweigh the bad news in these numbers"" said Dave Zeeck, ASNE president. "And the fact that the only two years diversity numbers have gone down were also the two toughest economic years for newspapers in recent memory only means we need to redouble our efforts. We have to remember that diversity isn't just about numbers, it's about making our news reports better. Diverse staffs lead to better journalism. …

Guide to Edmond Memorial at Norman
When: 6 p.m., Friday
Where: Norman High School
Online: normannorthlive.com
Radio: WWLS-AM 640/98.1 FM
Records: Edmond Memorial 2-2, 0-1 District 6A-4; Norman 2-2, 0-1
Last week: Lawton 28, Edmond Memorial 21; Mustang 34, Norman 14
Players to watch: Edmond Memorial — Jake Mammen, LB. The senior already has 35 tackles and two sacks this season. He hasn't received an official offer yet, but is receiving interest from some Division I schools.
Norman — Jakcob Dean, QB. Dean made the transition from receiver to quarterback this season. How he continues his development against a tough Bulldogs team will be key.
Storylines: Edmond Memorial — Avoid the costly turnovers. In last week's loss to Lawton, the Bulldogs threw three interceptions.
Norman — A better start. Norman has gotten off to a slow start each week, causing it to play from behind. Penalties have been an issue, but a quick start Friday will only make things easier.
The pick: Edmond Memorial 24, Norman 21

Charlie's soap
I finally took Dawn's recommendation and bought some Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder. I'd been wanting to switch to a natural detergent for a while, but I put it off because I had a large bottle of All Free & Clear that I didn't want to go to waste. Once that was nearly used up (I gave the leftovers to my sister), I placed my order for Charlie's. I've been using it for about a week now and so far, so good. I didn't want blab about it on my blog until it passed the cloth diapers test, but it did so and with flying colors.Read More →

I have a Stumpjumper EVO R, which is set up on the 1x10 drivetrain. I love it, and it gets me up (most) all the hills around Boise. Reading my latest copy of MBA, they were saying that the gold, silver and bronze XC racers in the past Olympics all used the SRAM XX1 drivetrain.
Basically, (from what I know), that is essentially a 1x10 setup (11-36 cassette) that has an 11th gear shoe-horned onto the cassette that is super-big. Something like a 44 or so. That allows them to crawl up that super-steep hill that the 1x10 typically has problems with.
I am NOT going to go out and buy a new cassette, rear derailleur and shifter to get that set-up. I am just too close to it already, but I cannot help but wonder if there is a possibility that the manufacturers will recognize the market that just might be there to start making 9 or 10 speed cassettes that incorporate the "xx1" theory?
What would be the downfall to SRAM or Shimano building up a cassette that dumps the smallest cog (11), and replaces it (obviously on the other side) with a much bigger cog than the 36 that is typically there. Maybe a 40, or 42 or something?
Is this something that *MIGHT* be coming down the turn-pike? Or no, there is a simple reason that it will not.
(I ask this question because I was walking down the sidewalk yesterday, and saw a mid 90's mtn bike with an 8 speed cassette, but the biggest cog in it was a 34, and the next size down was probably a 29 or so. The size jump was simliar to what I am seeing with the xx1 system, so it kinda got my mind going....)

good observation pace. Know this sounds flaky butfirst Pt will overtake Au in a few years Ag will
Unlikely that Ag will pass Au. When Hunt Bros cornered the Ag market and ran it up to $50 , silver came out of the woodwork - and closets - and drawers - and safes etc.Not so with Pt as very few people have much physical Pt other than maybe a wedding ring which is unlikely to be sold. Not much weight anyway. Hmmm - wonder if divorce lawyers will go into metal buying business :-)
There has not been a new refinery built in the US in over 30 years. However in India and the Mid-East large super refiners are coming on-line very quickly. AND guess what they will need? And a lot of it! Why platinum/palladium! SEE BELOW:"Platinum is used in the processes known as reforming and isomerisation, which create the higher octane components for gasoline. Platinum is key to the production of gasoline - without it, refineries would not be able to produce enough gasoline to meet current requirements.Other platinum group metalsPalladium is used by a limited number of refiners for upgrading certain refinery feeds in a process known as hydrocracking. Iridium can also be used in conjunction with platinum in a few niche reforming applications."
The Hunt Bros were on the verge of cornering the silver market and could have if not for the unusual measures taken at the time.As the Hunts continued to take delivery of silver, it was becomng apparent to the COMEX and CFTC that at some point there would not be enough physical silver available to deliver by those who were short.So the regulators established position limits in silver on the futures exchange and virtually crashed the paper price by killing the ability of speculators to speculate.But no such limits for those selling short as I recall.Had the Hunts not used so much leverage, the story might have ended quite differently.Bottom line, what the regulators did back then was highly questionable and much like we've seen recently in order to control prices and prevent free markets from testing the abilty to deliver on physical silver.If I recall, there were 4 increases in margin requirements for silver in the space of something like 2 weeks when silver recently approached 50.

South Korea Provides Hope For Guess' Asian Business Despite A Slowdown In China
Quick Take
- Guess' Asian business has slowed down lately on account of weak results from China due to a pullback in consumer spending
- However, the retailer continues to grow in South Korea, a market which holds tremendous growth potential for international brands
- Despite a weak economic environment, the apparel industry is expected to grow in the future with the rising popularity of specialty retailers and e-commerce growth
- However, there might not be any noticeable upside to our price estimate even if Guess' Asian revenues increase rapidly due to South Korean expansion
After growing at a healthy pace for over four years, Guess ' ( GES ) growth in Asia has stalled, mainly due to weak results from its core market in the region, China. During the last two quarters, the retailer's Asian revenues declined by 6% and 4%, respectively, (on a constant currency basis) as Chinese buyers spent more cautiously. This is not a good sign for Guess as it has already been struggling in its main markets - Europe and North America - and was relying on Asia to provide some respite.
However, there were some positives for the retailer in the form of growth in South Korea. In the previous two quarters, Guess' revenues in South Korea increased at a modest rate, which had an offsetting impact on the weak Chinese results. Although the company is not well-established in South Korea, the region's high growth potential makes it an important market from a long-term perspective.
Our price estimate for Guess stands at $35 , implying a premium of 10% to the market price.
See our complete analysis for Guess
Growth In Asia Hits A Roadblock
Guess' Asian revenues have grown at a tremendous pace historically, but have declined by 4% in Q2 fiscal 2014 mainly due to weak results from China. The company stated that the recent pullback in consumer spending in the region was the main reason for this dismal performance. The scenario somewhat worsened in Q3 as Guess' revenues fell by 6%. Though the region's apparel market is set to boom in the long term, the near term outlook is fairly challenging.
The salary growth of Chinese consumers is slowing down, which is directly impacting the region's consumer spending. This is hampering retail market growth, which in turn is weighing on China's economic growth. The region's GDP growth rate decelerated to 7.5% in Q2 from 7.7% in Q1, and the outlook for the year was lowered to 7.5%. This is China's slowest economic growth since 1990. Hence, Guess's Asian business is likely to struggle in the near term. The company itself expects a mid-to-high single digit revenue decline in Q4.
However, South Korea Holds Long Term Promise
South Korea's apparel industry witnessed strong growth in 2012 despite weak consumer confidence. This was fueled by the increasing popularity of specialty apparel brands and growing demand for outdoor wear and sportswear due to rising consumer awareness of health and well-being. Specialty retailers who offer good quality products at affordable prices are prospering due to increasing demand for value-added products. With frequent changes in fashion styles, international specialty retailers have performed well since 2007. Even domestic retailers are now focusing on product design and variety to add to their brands' international appeal. This trend bodes well for Guess as it is one of the popular global brands.
Additionally, Internet has emerged as a strong shopping channel with several department stores and apparel retailers adding e-commerce to their business. Retailers are also focusing on the m-commerce channel as smartphone penetration in South Korea is on the higher side. Going forward, mobile commerce is likely to become the key to online retailing as it offers maximum convenience to shoppers. Guess can take advantage of this trend if it launches some useful mobile apps along with retail store expansion.
Despite the weak economic growth outlook, the South Korean apparel market is expected to grow at a robust pace due to the aforementioned factors. Therefore, it makes sense for Guess to continue investing here along with its expansion in China, Japan and India.
But There Might Not Be Any Significant Upside
Guess still relies heavily on Europe and North America for a bulk of its revenues. The Asian business accounts for a little over 10% of the company's value, as per our estimates. We currently forecast Guess's revenue growth in the region to pick up next year and take annual sales to $480 million by the end of our forecast period. Even if recovery in China, rapid growth in Japan and India, and expansion in South Korea push this figure to $650 million, the upside to our price estimate will be less than 5%. However, growth in these markets is essential for Guess as its future in Europe and North America isn't looking too bright.

I have a list of servers, and I'd like to see if each server is connectable via SSH to every other server. Looking at ssh's man page, I don't see an option to "SSH ping" a host to see if it is connectable, other than actually directly connecting manually and seeing if I get a password prompt.
Is there any way to automate this process that I'm not aware of?

Last month Apple announced a new iPad and a new iPhone. While the iPhone was new, it was also familiar in many ways because it was direct successor to Apple's iPhone 5s which had been on the market for two and a half years. According to Apple, they sold thirty million 4-inch iPhones in 2015. Thirty million smartphone sales is a figure that many companies would be happy with for their flagship smartphone, but in Apple's case it's really interesting because that aging iPhone 5s was the only 4-inch iPhone they were selling. Being able to sell thirty million two-year-old smartphones is a pretty good indicator that there's a market for a smaller iPhone, and with the iPhone 5s approaching the end of its...

Portal - Chibi GLaDOS by Migi47Watch
©2011-2016 Migi47
My, that is about as super pouty a look as i think i have seen. Combined with that tightly clenched fist, i am guessing that the malevolent Mistress of the machine has not gotten a single thing on her Christmas wish list. I fear for anybody in he range who might be susceptible to neurotoxin with the mood the lady looks to be in.
Awwww she's very cute ! I especiallt like the hair, it changes from all the white-haired GLaDOS !
Hehe, thank you >u<~
I somehow imagine the cables as her hair... And those are black-orange ^^
I somehow imagine the cables as her hair... And those are black-orange ^^
Cute. I like your chibi style. It kinda reminds me of my own in the face area. xD
I love how the streaks in her hair match her outfit!!
One of the cutest things I have ever seen. (Faves immediately) <3
Oh i got portal too! ITS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
Ááááá, ez hihetetlenül aranyos lett. A színek is el lettek találva. Méltó 2011 utolsó rajzához.

I'm using apache server and PHP,
I've just done a cms, and now I would like to provide some demos at different URLs,
BUT within the same domain, for example
Something like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/demo2 ...
If those were the corresponding real paths on my server:
I don't want to change my cms code to achieve this (if possible)
The first solution I thought of was buy a domain for each demo, and use Virtual Hosting to map a demo to a domain. That would do exactly what I want, but that would be too expensive...
With Alias directive,
Alias /demo1/ /myserver/cms/demo1
is almost perfect, but I still got the problem that the
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable is modified from
/ to
/demo1, which unfortunately makes my cms confuse.
I would need a truly unobstrusive way of doing this, like with virtual hosts.
If you've faced that problem too, I would like to hear how you dealed with it.

I would start with the camera and let them have the photos printed at CVS or Walgreen.
Printing your own photos is more expensive and since they don't have a computer, the results will likely be the same.
The money you would have spent on a printer can be better used by giving them several memory cards. That way, they can still use the camera while prints are being made from another memory card.
And it will be your pleasure to occasionally back-up their photos on a CD, so that they can play it on their television set-top DVD player.
Many set-top DVD players can show .jpg images.
Hi..my Mom and Dad asked to look into them a digital camera.I thought the Canon Powershot SD850 IS would be perfect but they dont have have a computer.So what do you think can they just take the memory card to CVS or Walgreens to get there prints or possibly buy a camera/printer combo?thanks for any advice.

I am using win 7 on desktop and win Vista on laptop. I installed Netgear wireless router to my desktop. The internet is working fine on both the systems. But there is a problem in sharing the files. I have selected the "Public" folder to be shared. But when I click on the other systems icon in the network column of the control panel to access the other systems shared files on the first computer, it is asking for username and password, although I have not set one. I have tried all sorts of passwords which I may have accidentally set but to no use. This problem is both ways.
So what should be the username and password for this by default or at what stage may I have set it, if ever I set it myself?

Puffy Under Eye – To Reduce the Amount of Water Retained Under the Eye
Are you plagued with the puffy under eye look? You might need to blame yourself or your parents for this. Heredity makes it more likely for people to have that puffy under eye look. If one or both of your parental units puff up, you will likely puff up too. However, some people get that puffy under eye look because they retain too much water. If you take in too much sodium, your body will retain water. Since the skin under your eye is very thin anyway, you may see the excess water building up in the area under the eye. But, what can you do to get rid of the puffy under eye look?
That is a good question. If you have a hereditary issue, then you cannot fix the underlying genetic issue. But, you can take steps to minimize the puffy under eye look. If you intake too much sodium, minimize it. Cold is your friend. Cold helps reduce the amount of swelling in any part of the body. Putting a cold compress on your eyes is a good start. That will help reduce the amount of swelling to get your started. But that only lasts a few hours. You need to do it one or two times a day for the best results, if you use that method to get rid of the puffy under eye look.
Some people develop the puffy under eye look as part of an allergy reaction. You know how you get runny or itchy eyes when you get exposure to an allergen. This may lead to excessive blood getting to eye area. That can lead to fluid retention in that delicate tissue and thus to the dreaded puffy under eye look. If you reduce your reaction to an allergen, you can reduce the swelling under your eye. Make sure you take allergy medications as your doctor recommends. That will help radically reduce the puffy under eye look.
Some creams work to reduce the puffy under eye look. They help the area to reduce the swelling and helps keep the skin pliable and healthy. All of these help give a more youthful appearance and reduce the puffy under eye look. If you want to get rid of the puffy under eye look plague, you need to understand the cause and take steps to reduce the things that give you that look in the first place.

Xavier, Evan, and their friends have typical lives until they enter a mysterious land called Ahoratos. There they meet their guide, Ruwach, who offers wisdom and direction as the kids' initial adventure begins - an adventure filled with armor and danger and a very real enemy.
Brilliant (if he does say so himself) graphic designer Ravi Tandel is ahead of the game - he's just been asked to present a top secret project at a huge conference in Seattle. All systems are go...until he learns his buttoned-up office nemesis is coming along for the ride.
It may come as a surprise to many people, but Japan is the most running-obsessed country on Earth. A 135-mile relay race, or ekiden, is the country's biggest annual sporting event. Thousands of professional runners compete for corporate teams in some of the most competitive races in the world. The legendary "marathon monks" run a thousand marathons in a thousand days to reach spiritual enlightenment. Yet so much of Japan's running culture remains a mystery to the outside world, on par with many of the unique aspects of contemporary Japan.
In Lost Sound, Jeff Porter examines the vital interplay between acoustic techniques and modernist practices in the growth of radio. Concentrating on the 1930s through the 1970s, but also speaking to the rising popularity of today's narrative broadcasts such as This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, and The Organist, Porter's close readings of key radio programs show how writers adapted literary techniques to an acoustic medium with great effect.
A journey into Japan's fabled running culture from the award-winning author of Running with the Kenyans. Welcome to Japan, the most running-obsessed nation on earth, a place where a 135-mile relay race is the country's biggest annual sporting event. Thousands of professional runners compete for corporate teams in some of the most competitive races in the world. Marathon monks run a thousand marathons in a thousand days to reach spiritual enlightenment.
I didn't plan on him...or for him. I didn't plan on anything that had to do with Cal Donovan from Boston. Meeting him was a complete and utter surprise, taking me completely off guard. I met new people every single day in my line of work, and none of them affected me. Isn't that just the way of things? You could meet a thousand people, and they'd all mean nothing to you, but then you'd meet that one and they suddenly meant everything.
The innovative TerraMates business has been a runaway success. Seeking to expand, TerraMates has opened new locations with different business models. Eden is looking for a fresh start and is one of the first mail-order brides from New York City. As soon as she signs the paperwork and collects her credits, she blacks out. When Eden wakes up, she's been married to an alien bounty hunter. She's ready for a new beginning, but all she knows about her alien husband is that he's handsome and dangerous.
"TerraMates Book 5 - Some Shady Business Practices!"
M'lady's name is Shadowless, cos she's the fastest ship in the sky. And she ain't no everyday airship, she's an aethership, meaning she don't need engines nor turbines nor nowt but an aethermancer and the stars t' guide her. When luckless Dil falls half-dead onto the deck of the skyship Shadowless, he joins an outlaw crew haunted by visions of maelstrom. Driven by a ruthless captain, guided by a pilot with madness in her eyes, they hunt the power that holds up the clouds. Until it turns - to hunt them.
Cash is alive. But who knows how bad he's hurt. There was an explosion, and he won't wake up. It's the phone call that any Titan wife dreads, and the one that brings Nicola Garrison to her knees in tears. Crying and praying for Cash to wake up, she has one secret to tell him and now it might be too late. "I'm pregnant. You're going to be a daddy." Practicing the words a million times didn't matter if he wasn't coming home.
It's hard enough for Alastair Stone to keep his two lives - powerful mage and mundane Occult Studies professor - separate without an old friend asking him to take on a new apprentice. Especially after a university colleague wants him to investigate a massive old house for things that go bump in the night. Still, Stone figures it's an easy job: just turn up, put on a little show, and announce that the house is clean. Only it isn't. A malevolent spirit is reawakening in the basement.
When gods fail to keep their promises there's hell to pay. Literally. After a slip of the tongue, godling Vincent Corinthos is obligated to keep his partner, Megan, "fine" forever. Enter the Keepers, who fulfill promises for a fee. Vincent agrees to their bargain, but will Megan be the one who pays the price?
Dax Marshall isn't the type of man a woman takes home to meet her parents. He's a business shark who has never let anything as insignificant as caring stop him from taking over a company. Some call him heartless, but he doesn't see the value of caring about anyone or anything until he meets Kenzi. Her happiness becomes his obsession. Kenzi Barrington has tried to be the person her family needed her to be, but she doesn't want to lie anymore. She turns to the one man she knows is strong enough to hear the truth.
In a remote, frozen corner of New Hampshire, a Navy SEAL team and the elite security experts of Troubleshooters Incorporated are going head-to-head as fierce but friendly rivals in a raid-and-rescue training exercise. Despite the frigid winter temperatures, tension smolders between veteran SEAL Petty Officer Mark "Jenk" Jenkins and former cop turned troubleshooter Lindsey Fontaine after an impulsive night goes awry.
Andy Buckland is no stranger to TV. The worst moment of her career happened when a live studio audience got food poisoning from one of her dishes. But when the pasta guru is given a slot in the televised cooking competition Diced Showdown, she sees her chance at redemption. In exchange for the shot at vindication Andy and her fiancé, Malcolm Jones, are tasked to find the identity of a mysterious blogger who has a nasty habit of revealing detrimental secrets of the show's top celebrity chefs.
Caught dancing barefoot in the moonlit woods, dressed only in her shift, Elizabeth Penshurst is sent by her father, a reverend, to serve penance with a cousin in Hernewood. But evil haunts the woods of Hernewood Abbey. As the Druid festival of Beltane approaches, a sinister cult seeks a virgin sacrifice. Their intended victim: Lizzie. Her only defender - and the man likely to relieve her of her dangerous maidenhood - is the mysterious Gabriel, the Dark Man, a fellow outcast and scholar of Druidism.
Science confirms the distinction between the biological brain and the conscious mind. Each day, a game of mind versus matter plays out on a field defined by the problems we must solve. Most are routine, and don't demand a more mindful approach. It's when we're faced with more difficult challenges that our thinking becomes vulnerable to brain patterns that can lead us astray.
A century ago, the world burned. Even now, though rebuilt and defiant, civilization is still choking on the ashes. Jackson, a smuggler, lives in the shadows, once a boy with no memory, no name, and no future. Ravens followed him, long-extinct birds only he could see, and nightmares flew in their wake. Once, Jackson thought himself to be one of the lucky few touched by magic, a candidate for the Order of Mages. He is a man now, and that dream has died. But, the ravens still follow. The nightmares still whisper in his ear.
Stratton English, the hottest, youngest, most devastatingly handsome CFO in Philadelphia, has a problem: women make him nervous. Really nervous. Catastrophically nervous. Socially awkward to an extreme, he's apt to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind, and it's rarely something a woman wants to hear. Quietly in love with his neighbor, Amy, he has no idea how to make his move, but he is committed to figuring out a way to seduce her.
Paramedic Connor Haus is good at two things - saving lives on the streets of Boston and holding her past against every firefighter she meets. The tragic loss of her partner, Kam, has left her bitter and angry; her work and fellow EMT Jake O'Harrigan the only pieces of her life she still cares about. Until rookie firefighter Logan Curtis moves to town, and onto Connor's scene, and threatens to rattle the walls Connor has long since put up.
Harry Starke loves a cold case, but this one is really cold - more than a hundred years cold. Family Matters is a whimsical tale, a flight of fancy. It takes place on the lonely coast of Maine, where Amanda, a true believer in the paranormal, has inherited - you guessed it - a haunted house. Or at least that's what the rumors say. The inheritance comes with a request to look into the disappearance of Elizabeth, Amanda's great-great-grandmother, more than a hundred years ago.

What probiotics do you use?
mygutleaks replied to kev1231ly's topic in Diet & holistic healthi've grown my own kefir grains, i've also tried several types of soil based organisms, s. boulardi and various store brands. i can find NO correlation between probiotics and skin clearance. (but since my digestion is messed up, i still take them). growing kefir grains is by far the cheapest. going through an elimination diet to find offending foods worked for me. taking probiotics and eating those offending foods still gives me acne.

mygutleaks replied to 3mrd's topic in Diet & holistic health3mrd - have you tried betaine hcl? that might help your stomach if low stomach acid is the problem. you can also help your body create its own stomach acid by taking TMG (trimethylglycine), zinc and B vitamins. a blood test didn't work for my allergies. a skin test did though. -MGL

mygutleaks replied to 3mrd's topic in Diet & holistic healthDigestive enzymes never did a thing for me in terms of helping acne and i took them for a while and still got/get acne from egg, chicken & gluten, and more. Cutting those foods out worked for me. i just eat turkey instead of chicken. Potatoes instead of grains. Meat instead of eggs. I recommendsome testing to try and hone in on what might be wrong. a good functional medicine doctor would have access to digestive tests. in my many years of tinkering, still the only thing that works is food removal.

My Adult Acne (possibly leaky gut / candida ?)
mygutleaks replied to idkmybffStaci's topic in Diet & holistic healthi would recommend trying an ox bile supplement to help with fat digestion, given that you no longer have your g/b. fats can putrefy in the gut and cause an overgrowth of bad bacteria if not properly digested. i've tried a few different brands. imo just go for whatever's cheapest, it's rather inexpensive. you can buy it in mild strength like 125mg or higher dose like 500mg pills. too much might cause issues at first so i'd start lower. or get the higher strength and some empty capsules and cut it. it can also be bought in conjunction with animal enzymes like pancreatin, etc. i'd try it separate first, see if that helps - adding just one thing at a time. good luck. -MGL

Diet, toxins, gut bacteria - 3 steps to clear skin
mygutleaks posted a topic in Diet & holistic healthThis seems to be working for me. It hasn't been a quick process though. I can be 100% clear (if I chose to). But I still need to follow step 1, as I don't feel I've fully completed step 2, and therefore can't complete step 3. Here's my suggestions in a nutshell. Step 1 – Elimination diet Figure out your trigger foods and eliminate. For me, going on a 100% whole foods (single ingredient, nothing processed) diet and avoiding the most common allergens keeps me clear (eggs, dairy, milk, nuts, etc). Eat a paleo diet of easy to digest foods – i.e., limit nuts/seeds (buy small amounts and test them – if they don't break you out, eat them sparingly). Make sure to get enough fiber so that you are regular to aid step 2. Step 2 – Toxin removal Toxins like heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium) accumulate in fatty tissues in the body and then come out very slowly through the gut (and other paths). They are in our soils (non-clean coal burning plants from China spew it out and it drifts over here (the USA/Canada) by the sh*t ton and rains down on us), in some foods (arsenic in rice for example), and our mothers pass them on to us during pregnancy. Most importantly, NEVER EVERget amalgam fillings. Dentists/FDA/AMA say they are safe, but they are not. (see 'the smoking tooth' video on youtube). MANY people have been severely fk'd by them! They were almost banned in the US (like EU) but the Obama admin chose not to due to cost (btw politicians don't give a f*ck about your health and well-being no matter what they say (and I would go so far as to say they actually want us sick to increase profits to their croniesand also to keep us calm/lethargic and unable todo anything about it), and the sooner we get rid of all politicians and govern ourselves, the better we'll be - but we'll save that for another discussion forum). Limit tuna and other large fish, and choose small fish instead (or just take fish oil made from small fish and filtered). Also, don't drink the water if you live in Flint, MI! Fluoride doesn't seem to affect my skin – probably just my brain! Also, choose organic veggies and grass-fed meats to limit pesticides and antibiotic exposure as much as possible. With recent legislation (in US) giving more freedom to what can be called 'grass-fed' that is getting much more difficult – but you can still sort of tell by looking at the meat (local farms direct from farmer is one way to ensure). Completely stop eating anything GMO, grown with Glyphosate, etc. – it all causes leaky gut in humans (and i've read in the pests too). Plus, it is not a 100% whole food. Aid your body in elimination! Depending on what's accumulated will help you determine the correct path. For example, you might have a lot of heavy metal accumulation. It might be caused by a weak elimination system. Or, you may have decent pathways, but you still have a poison source (tuna/sushi, fillings). Perhaps you are missing key vitamins. Mg deficiency, zinc, B vitamins, vit D, molybdenum, etc. If you are feeling blah, my suggestion is to visit a functional medicine practitioner and get a test such as the Genova Diagnostics - NutrEval which will tell you what vitamins you are lacking in. It will also give you some, albeit very slight and possibly misleading info about your heavy metal 'body burden.' If you think it's heavy metals, get a hair test but be sure to follow the 'counting rules' – metals hide, and often don't show up as high, even when they are – so you use this tool to see how they are affecting mineral transport of things like zn, mg, etc. If you have amalgam fillings and acne, my suggestion is to visit an IAOMT dentist and have them properly removed and replaced with composite. Do not let a non-IAOMT dentist do the removal. Have an x-ray to confirm there is no amalgam remaining. Optional – if you have above average heavy metal accumulation, then in my opinion, chelation is the only way to get well. There is only one safe way to chelate, and that is via the Dr. Andrew Cutler protocol – and, only if all amalgams are removed prior. Other protocols are dangerous and can make you worse, sometimes permanently. Cilantro/chlorella, zeolite, the Chris Shade protocol, Klinghardt/Mercola, etc., will not get the metals out of the brain and that is where they are stored, deep, and imo you can't really cure yourself until this happens. IMO these folks just want your money, and don't care if you get well. Dr. Cutler actually seems to give a fk about humanity and helping people. Personally I feel like a lot of folks are toxic to some degree, and it's only getting worse. I think a lot of people have metal toxicity, and after serious research, I personally believe it's the root cause of many diseases. You'll see what I mean if you end up on that path. You'll recognize symptoms in your friends/family. But, they'll NEVER EVER listen to you if you try and tell them. Trust me, do not even bother – they will think you are weird. And, conventional medicine doctors will NEVER EVER agree with you on this. Do not even try to talk with a regular doctor about it – they will write down that you need psychiatric treatment and SSRI's and it will be on your permanent record. Just learn how to properly chelate and do it sans doc. (but do it soon because AGAIN the Gov't is/has taken steps to make it harder to accomplish). And, it's a long process if you have a lot accumulated. This may also help if you have hormone issues since they affect those as well. Or, you may have a different problem like MTHFR, so you may need different tests to determine. My suggestion is, get some testing! You will spend money on testing, but save a ton on supplements because you'll know what you should be taking and what you can forgo. Then, before you buy what the doctor suggests (usually supps from their office that are marked up many times what you can get them for elsewhere)come online and talk about it. Most of it isn't really necessary if you are eating a whole foods diet. A few supps are though, mostly minerals and some vitamins, imo. And maybe one or two supps to treat the gut in step 3. Step 3 – Treat the Gut Toxins mess with the gut. They cause bad bacteria, fungus, parasites to hang around and cause inflammation which leads to acne in some. Don't waste your $ on store bought probiotics, other than perhaps SBO (soil based organisms) – although some experts say these are dangerous. The least expensive way is to grow your own. You get FAR more potency too vs store bought. Make homemade water kefir, sauerkraut, etc. You can even eat the kefir grains if you don't like to drink the liquid. Eat foods, take supplements that help heal a leaky gut. There are a ton of posts on the site dealing with healing the gut. I think it's important though, to do step 2 and 3 simultaneously. Step 3 won't work without step 2, unless you aren't toxic. If you are, and just do step 3, you'll just make yourself sicker. It might work at first, but in the long run it won't. Be sure while doing step 3, that you take substances to counteract the bad effects. For example, as bad bugs die, they give off harmful toxins. I like molybdenum for this, but some prefer other supps. I think it just depends on what's living in you and what it gives off – ammonia, acetaldehyde, etc. I also find a supp to help heal the gut, important. You can use zinc carnosine, l-glutamine, white fish protein – there are lots of choices. To save $, try rotating or doing one at first, and add if you need additional support. -MGL
mygutleaks replied to Catalyst123's topic in Oily skincod liver oil is a scam. fish oil is the way to go imo.

Arched Doorway
Easy, sort of.
You 'box' the archway forgetting about the arch part (for now.) Then, once you've got your WIDTH and HEIGHT all framed out, you cut your arch (on a jig-saw, or the like). You cut BOTH sides of the arch at one time (so you either mess them BOTH up at the same time, or you luck-out and cut them right at the same time.) You can nail them temporarily together until you're finished cutting them, makin sure you don't nail where you have to cut OR where they would get in the way of the saw.
Once you've got your sides cut (keeping your pairs together), cut a number of pieces of 2x4's that, when they're nailed BETWEEN each side, they're as wide as the arch! Use a piece of scrap wood to be sure you cut everything the right size. Once you've done that, you can use it as a template. Then, nail the 2 arches to the archway and buy some plastic/flexible corner bead, along w/some drywall, and finish the job!
If you have any particular ?'s, ask away. Just try to envision what's going on. (I kinda gave you the short version but I warned you it was 'Easy, kinda ...'
My best to ya and hope this helps.
