After millennia of philosophising by great minds from Plato to Descartes to Freud, the mysteries and wonders of the infant mind are finally being unravelled.
The great wonders of the infant brain
"Do more experiments on babies" sounds like a dystopian slogan, a tagline for a brave new world, but it has been under way for at least 30 years. Undoubtedly it is a good thing. Since the late 1970s, scientific research on babies has provided remarkable insights into how the world's greatest learning apparatus works. After millennia of philosophising by great minds from Plato to Descartes to Freud, the mysteries and wonders of the infant mind are finally being unravelled according to practical, scientific methods.
Take, for instance, the revelation that very young babies regularly perform statistical analysis, such as discerning patterns from a babble of apparently meaningless syllables. At even a few months old, the brain is already computing complicated things that we as adults would perhaps not even know the precise definitions of. Babies are performing Bayesian reasoning and conditional probabilities at the same time as all that jabbering and twittering and screaming. Not only can they determine patterns using mathematical processes, but babies can infer wider systems of behaviour from them. In other words, they can use this analysis to predict how various things in the world will work.
Struggling to dress Astrid or chasing her around the apartment trying to get her to sit at the table at mealtimes, I feel sympathy and admiration for scientists who can conduct any form of meaningful research on babies. After all, babies are not as pliant as a lab rat nor as co-operative as an adult volunteer. They cannot speak. They do not follow simple instructions. So how do these experiments work?
One method was discovered in the 1960s by a psychologist called Robert Fantz. He realised that babies get bored. Show a baby something that conforms to their expectations and sooner or later his or her gaze will wander. Show a baby something that astonishes or surprises them and he or she will peer more intently. Scientists have been using findings such as this one to develop techniques and tools to gain insights into the workings of the infant brain. The results of this body of research have changed our understanding of how the brain works and even a superficial understanding of these findings can help parents with the enigma that is their child. For example, the milestones of infant development - seeing, hearing, sitting, standing, walking - are now known to be linked to biological changes in the brain. They occur according to a genetic blueprint, which experience can do little to alter. Once I grasped that idea, any worries about when Astrid would start to walk melted away. She has her own timetable and there is little point in trying to hurry her along.
One of the most interesting revelations was that much of what makes us human comes not simply from our ability to learn about the world quickly and efficiently, but from our power to imagine other possible worlds. The intense imaginations of children and their ability to realise imaginary worlds so richly plays a vital role in cognitive development. As Alison Gopnik, a psychologist at Berkeley, puts it: "Children aren't confused about fantasy and imagination and reality, which is what psychologists from Freud to Piaget had thought before. They know the difference between imagination and reality really well. It's just they'd rather live in imaginary worlds than in real ones." Children may be remarkable learners, but it is this ability to conjure other possible realms that truly makes us human.
Astrid struck up her first conversation with a stranger recently. Early one morning we were prowling the damp and foggy streets of our neighbourhood. Astrid had been very quiet for many minutes. Motion can induce a kind of stupor in her, where she zones out and switches off for a rare moment or two. So it was surprising when a woman walked by us and Astrid said "Hi". The syllable was clear and loud. Its purpose was emphasised by the lack of any other sounds around it. Clearly it was intended as a greeting.
The woman was dressed in a dark blue uniform and though she was clearly in a hurry striding to work, she instinctively replied with a "Hi". She smiled and Astrid smiled back before we continued on our way. It was an interesting moment, when a different context makes you realise just how much Astrid understands. For years to come, we will be drumming in to her that she should not talk to strangers, but this case was an exception.

Lea Lexis & Nikki Darling – A Heavy Electric Finale for Nikki Darling
Released: September 30, 2013
Lea Lexis finishes off Nikki Darling with this severe bondage and electro-corporal set-up. Nikki is one tough babe, and in this position, she works hard for her mistress. Lea has her tied up in a standing spread eagle. Nicki is covered with the EMS pads and they work her arms, legs, and stomach until she is sweating and writhing, showing off her slim, muscled body. Lea also turns up the electricity on the plug that is shocking and pulsing in Nikki's bound cunt. Lea has left Nikki's nipples exposed so she can lick and tease them, pinch and crop them. This torture is sweet for Nikki, one of the toughest Electrosluts you have ever seen.

Chateau Petrus 2006
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
After the fabulous 2005, Petrus again has produced a magnificent wine in 2006, even if it doesn't hit quite the same heights. It has an immensely powerful structure and concentration, always the hallmark of this wine. But this structure is almost masked by the superbly ripe and fresh fruit. And with all this weight, there is still a sense of proportion, the rich berry fruits, smokiness and light spice beautifully integrated.
This displays green coffee bean and raspberry aromas, with a leafy undertone. Full-bodied, with refined tannins and a pretty finish. Very silky and classy. Lasts a long time on the finish. Best after 2014. 2,800 cases made.
Currently closed and backward, this wine seems to share a more similar character to Trotanoy than in any recent vintages I recall. Powerful, structured, masculine, but a long-term proposition, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine displays notes of caramelized, sweet black cherries and wild berry fruit with plenty of spice, earth, and a hint of herbaceousness. The wine has very high tannins, impressive concentration, but that mouth-searing level of tannin. This is one Petrus that should probably be forgotten for at least 8-10 years and drunk over the following two to three decades. I always find it ironic that Petrus, which is virtually 100% Merlot, is more backward than the first growths of Medoc, which are Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated.
Bright medium ruby. Reticent but complex nose opened with air to display an almost roasted ripeness to the aromas of dark berries and licorice. Sweet, deep and lush, showing brooding dark berry and black cherry fruit sexed up by an exotic chocolate liqueur quality. A hugely rich but rather inscrutable wine. This was much deeper in pitch than the Trotanoy I tasted next to it, and missing that wine's ineffable mineral high notes, inner-mouth perfume and impression of harmoniousness. Is this simply too young to assess today? Time will tell.

Mount Taranaki, New Zealand
New Zealand's north island is home to Mount Taranaki, or Mount Egmont, a 2,518 meter (8,261 ft) tall active volcano. Taranaki is quite young for a volcano, having become active only 135,000 years ago. Its most recent activity was a mere 160 years ago. Mount Taranaki is the center of the Egmont National Park, the circular tree-line boundary of which can be seen in two of the photos below. Visitors to the mountain can enjoy the Manganui ski resort for skiing and snowboarding. Those more adventurous types can trek to the summit during the summer months. The closest major town is New Plymouth, just north of the mountain, where all types of hotels and other accommodation can be found.
Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA
In the southwestern part of Utah in the United States lies a wondrous work of erosion – Bryce Canyon. Despite its name, Bryce Canyon is an eroded natural amphitheater rather than a canyon. The most notable features of Bryce Canyon are its "hoodoos", or geological structures formed by harsh weather erosion caused by wind, ice and water. One of the hoodoos is called Thor's Hammer because its shape resembles that of a hammer. Visitors to Bryce Canyon can enjoy a scenic drive to 13 viewpoints overlooking the canyon. Tourists can also enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Bryce Canyon is close to both Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, as well as the town of Kanab, Utah, where many visitors to the area choose to find accommodation. Lodging can also be found in Bryce Canyon National Park's two campgrounds or its lodge.
Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada, USA
Beautiful Lake Tahoe lies in the Sierra Nevada mountain range along the border of California and Nevada in the United States. With 496 square kilometers (192 sq miles) of surface area and lovely mountain scenery, the lake is a major tourist destination year round. There are over 12 ski resorts at Lake Tahoe and visitors can find all manner of winter activities here including snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, snow tubing, and more. Many water sports are also enjoyed here, such as swimming, boating, water skiing, and scuba diving. A large variety of accommodation can be found on the lake, from ritzy expensive resorts to backpacker style hostels.
Mount Hood, Oregon, USA
Towering over nearby Portland, Oregon, is the Majestic Mount Hood. It stands 3,429 meters (11,249 feet) tall and is home to 12 glaciers. Mount Hood has 6 ski resorts: Timberline, Mount Hood Meadows, Ski Bowl, Cooper Spur, Snow Bunny and Summit. Timberline is the only year-round ski-lift in all of North America. Mount Hood is a dormant volcano, but it is consider the volcano most likely to erupt in Oregon with a 7% chance of eruption in the next 30 years. It is popular with climbers in addition to skiers, and about 10,000 people reach its summit yearly. Hikers can enjoy trekking on the Timberline Trail which circumnavigates the mountain, and the Pacific Crest Trail also passes by via the Timberline Trail. Most of the ski resorts have beautiful lodges to stay in, and any kind of accommodation can be found in the city of Portland, 124 km (77 miles) away. There are also many small towns in the area that offer some accommodation, including Government Camp, the closest town to the ski resorts.
Dolomites, Italy
The Dolomites are a section of the Alps mountain range in Italy. Besides the spectacular views, visitors to the Dolomites can enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, ice skating and sledding in the winter months, and hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, base jumping, paragliding and hang-gliding in the summer. The Dolomites were recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in August, 2009. Marmolada, the Dolomites' largest peak, stands 3,344 meters (10,972 feet) tall. The Dolomites span three Northeastern Italian provinces: Belluno, Bolzano-Bozen and Trento. Accommodation can be found in any of the many cities and villages in the area.
Hallstatt, Austria
Tucked away in the mountains of Austria you'll find the tiny town of Hallstatt. Hallstatt and its population of less than 1000 residents rest on the southwestern shore of the Hallstätter See. In addition to the picturesque view of the town on the lake, tourists can see the world's first salt mine, enjoy nearby skiing, take a trip to the World Heritage Museum, and visit the Dachstein ice cave. Though this village is very small, there are a few different hotels and restaurants to choose from.

American General Halts Auction of Unit
By THOMAS C. HAYES, Special to The New York Times
Published: December 7, 1990
DALLAS, Dec. 6— The American General Corporation said today that it had rejected two offers for its insurance subsidiary, which specializes in marketing policies door to door, and that it would halt its attempt to auction the unit.
The company, the nation's fourth-largest publicly owned insurer, with $34 billion in assets, said it would resume a stock buyback program begun three years ago. It also reduced the annual dividend to $2; it had been increased to $3 a share from $1.58 a share last May.
With more than one million shares traded, American General stock fell by $1.50 today, to $28.875, on the New York Stock Exchange.
American General's full retreat from the decision last May 2 to auction the entire company underscores the troubles investment bankers are facing in their attempts to raise money to finance large takeovers.
When American General's directors voted to auction the company, Harold S. Hook, chairman and chief executive, forecast offers of more than $7 billion, or $59 a share. The Houston-based company had turned down a stock-and cash offer from the Torchmark Corporation valued at $50 a share.
Torchmark, a smaller insurer based in Birmingham, Ala., said today that it had offered $3.65 billion for American General's home-service unit, which markets life and health insurance policies primarily among middle- and low-income customers in the Southeast.
The deal included $1.05 billion in Torchmark shares and $800 million in cash, and Torchmark would have taken on $1.8 billion of debt in the American General unit. In a brief statement, Torchmark said it was disappointed, but still regarded American General's home service unit a good match for it.
Torchmark's shares rose by $1.375 today, to $48.75, on the New York Stock Exchange. Other companies rumored to have made competing bids for the American General unit were the Capital Holding Corporation, based in Louisville, Ky. and Nationale-Nederlanden, a large Dutch insurer, analysts said.
American General narrowed the auction to its home service unit in late summer, as the weakening economy and weakening stock markets in Europe, Japan and the United States made it unlikely that a bidder could meet American General's price.

Gnoma is one of the sims in Heterocera that was made and brought online on July 19, 2005. This sim is part of the northern continent's mainland.
Gnoma's man attraction is Lake Gnoma, currently owned by Zuleika Deere. Gnoma is home to Fallen Petals, **Hybrid** Street, Lock Creations, and TZ Enterprises.
Gnoma first was bought by Julieana Cannoli and Kalif Cannoli to make a mall called the Lost Shopping of Atlantis, which had games, casinos, 80 stores, chariot racing and entertainment. The Lost Shopping of Atlantis was later made into a smaller mall that was later sold.
The larger part of Gnoma, Lake Gnoma Headwaters, is being kept by Zuleika Deere as a wilderness park, open for everybody to relax and explore.
Lake Gnoma Headwaters
Gnoma Headwaters used to be inhabited by a native indian tribe. Even today there are still relics from the past to be seen, like the teepee camp, the pueblo and the gypsy camp.
The land is mountainous, and has a lake, rivers, waterfalls, woods and even secret caves. An old goldmine by the creek is deserted, but rumours are there is still gold to be found. The lands richness is said to be proven by one of the trees growing there. Various people report money growing from that tree, and many new residents still visit this money tree regularly.
The owner of the land, Zuleika Deere, keeps the land in it's original natural state.
The area is visited by people who want to relax and enjoy themselves. Horseriding, canoeing, swimming and meeting friends by the campfires are a few of the things people come here for.
The lake itself is one of the wonders of nature, only existing in Second Life. While the surface is that of a sweet water lake, the underwater is tropical salt water. Very special to both swimmers and scuba divers.
The Lake Gnoma Headwaters property has been extended into the neighbouring sim Falcaria, where both the goldmine and Zuleika's not yet opened shop Deerest Desires are located. Also some distant plots in different mainland sims are part of Lake Gnoma Headwaters.

Louis Smith admits he is looking for lovePosted on: November 1, 2012 11:35:00
Olympic star Louis Smith has admitted he is looking for love.
The 23-year-old gymnast, who split up with his girlfriend last year, revealed he is searching for a new partner and confessed that he finds talking to women difficult.
"I am quite shy," he said, "I'll only go to talk to a girl if I'm feeling extra confident and that is normally after a few beers".
Smith, who won a silver medal in the London Olympics this summer, said he isn't yet sure whether he is looking for someone already in the spotlight or if he would prefer to go out with a woman who is "under the radar".
Earlier this week, the medallist was forced to play down rumours that he had a crush on Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh.
Currently starring in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing, Smith has previously admitted he thought the Love Machine singer was beautiful, but denied claims he has a soft spot for her.

Did you know that 37.5 percent of international students in the U.S. came for an undergraduate degree?
So what are the steps an international student must follow to apply to a U.S. undergraduate degree program?
Well, WES Student Advisor is here to help you through that.
Hi, this is Mary. Today, we'll going to talk about three different areas of the undergraduate application process:
- application requirements and deadlines;
- getting your credentials evaluated;
- and writing a great college essay
First, all applicants should be aware that each school will have different application requirements and deadlines which can be found on the university's website. College and university application requirements usually include:
- a completed application form;
- secondary school credentials;
- proof of English proficiency;
- standardized test scores;
- essays;
- recommendation letters;
- and proof of financial support.
U.S. universities most commonly have two different types of application deadlines, which are strict deadlines and rolling admissions. For strict deadlines, you will need to submit a completed application package by the date stated on their website or else you will not be considered. Review of completed applications begin after the deadline and you are usually compared to other applicants in the pool.
Rolling admissions have no absolute deadline and applicants are reviewed on a first come basis. You would not be compared to other applicants but classes are filled up as applications are submitted. Also remember that applications for financial support like scholarships, grants, and government assistance also have deadlines that you need to check and make sure to do that early!
Next is preparing your application package! As an international student get a head start on obtaining your secondary school academic records. Some universities will ask that you have your records translated or verified which will take time. You can reach out to organizations like World Education Services to verify, and send your credentials to the institution of your choice.
Don't forget to also start preparing for standardized exams. Taking a 2-3 hour exam in English with question formats that may be unfamiliar can be challenging. So, make sure to take some free practice tests which are available online. Also, reach out to your teachers, employers, and counselors for a recommendation letter. These letters help admissions officers know a little bit more about who you are and how others perceive you.
Finally, take the time to work on your college essay. Do not rush it. Some schools may ask you to answer a specific question while others allow you to submit an essay on any topic. The essay is a chance to express who you are, who you want to be, and how your pursuit of a higher education abroad will help you achieve your future goals. Be creative, be unique, and be yourself. Also, ask a native English speaker to proofread your essay if possible.
So that's it! For more information on studying abroad in the U.S. and Canada, visit www.wesstudentadvisor.org.

I'm looking at trying to intergrate the Help Desk ticket system into our existing intranet, but in order to do this, I need to edit the ticket pages to add links back to the intranet.
Could you please give some guidance to the location of the html pages within the spiceworks install so that I can look at doing this.

I'd love to do this as well ... but I'm pretty sure you can't edit it, other than changing the name etc.
Very glad if I'm wrong though! :)

I do not think you can currently edit the User Portal. However, Spiceworks 4.0 is overhauling the User Portal and adding a lot of customization. You should head over to 4.0 forums and check out all the details there. You could also download the beta and see if the changes made there meet your needs.

Just thinking about it now, you can add a link to the sidebar on the right. You can add any text you want when you view the portal in admin mode. Just add your link there and voila, link back to your intranet.
Or you may want to contact J-159 and see how he embedded it for better integration.

(post contains affiliate links: see disclosure)
We have been pretty busy during our first week on the road. We are adjusting to RV life. Five people in 300 square feet comes with a few complications, but all are pretty minor.
Our Time In Nashville TN
Opryland Hotel
We were originally going to be in Nashville just one night but then we decided to start our trip two days early. We both felt that a one night stay might be just a bit too much for our first 24 hours on the road.
I am so glad we did leave early because it allowed us to show our children a few sites my husband and I have seen before but they haven't.
One place we took them was the Opryland hotel. It doesn't cost a penny to wander around the hotel but parking does cost if you decide to park near the hotel. We walked over from a neighboring shopping mall with free parking and from the looks of things we were not the only thrifty family that did so.
It takes around an hour or so to see the hotels various indoor atriums. We went at night and I think I preferred it better to daytime as the light shows in the atriums were brighter and had more sparkle.
Pharmacy Burgers
One thing my husband and I both wanted to do on this trip was to experience local restaurants. We don't plan to eat out more than once or twice a week but when we do we want to experience local favorites.
Yelp seems to be a great way to discover such places. It helped us find The Pharmacy in Nashville. I had the Falafel burger with sweet potato fries and a ginger phosphate –yum. Normally we just drink water and lemon in restaurants but we made an exception at The Pharmacy since they made original sodas on site.
Everyone in the family was extremely happy with what they ordered and was full all the way to dinner time–something that rarely happens with our teenagers and 20 year old son.
KOA Nashville
While we were in Nashville we stayed at the KOA near the Opryland hotel. This probably wasn't a good idea, only because it SPOILED US. We now know just how good camping can be.
As I said last week the weather was freezing in Nashville the short time we were there causing my husband to worry about freezing pipes. To put his worry to rest we got a campsite very close to the restrooms so we could dry camp (not hook-up water). I was wondering what the quality of the bathrooms would be like but was very happy to find them well heated and well maintained. They were clean at all times of the day despite the park having numerous other campers.
The park did have free wifi but it was painfully slow at most times of the day. I did however find the wifi in the common house to be very fast and the decor in the common house was so comfortable (that is it in the picture above)
Life Is Precious
The morning we were pulling out of Nashville my husband took a walk and returned with the news that an RV had burned during the night. Our family somehow slept through it all.
From the details we were able to get from people at the scene we discovered that the occupant did not survive. The news weighed heavy on our hearts all day. I prayed for his/her loved whenever I thought of it.
This incident, and a car accident that happened right in front of us in Atlanta, have been BIG reminders to both my husband and myself that we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
Don't put off what you could do today, hug that loved one, end that fight with your spouse, tell your child you love them.
Georgia Aquarium
We spent our first full day in Atlanta at the Georgia Aquarium. I have been to over half a dozen or more aquariums in my life and I have to say the Georgia Aquarium blew them all out of the water!
We plan on doing more hiking and biking than visiting aquariums and such on this trip, but we made an exception with Atlanta because they offer a CityPASS that cuts the cost of visiting such local sites almost in half.
I noticed CityPASS also offers a Seattle package, and since we are going to be spending 2 full days there later in the trip we might just see the sites it offers there as well.
Bible Study By the Lake
Obtaining personal refueling time is a little trickier than I thought it would be. Thanks to earplugs I am able to fall asleep before the rest of the family and therefore get up before them. However the current dark cool mornings mean I am stuck inside wearing a headlamp,trying to be as quiet as possible, so as not to wake the rest of the family.
Plus, I need to get work done sometime. So far I have found it easier to work in the RV in the morning while the family sleeps (campground wifi is faster in the early morning) and have my quiet time later in the day.
This week I have been packing up my bible, coloring pencils, and camp chair and heading lake side to have my time of bible study and prayer after we get back from whatever we have been up to for the day.
The view is awesome and even better it is warm! I am wearing shorts in January.
Stone Mountain
Our family hiked the one mile to the top of Stone Mountain one beautiful afternoon. From the top of it you can see all of Atlanta's city centers. Honestly we didn't even realize Atlanta had multiple city centers until we reached the summit and saw them clearly defined.
My son and I hiked the trail again on Saturday afternoon and then proceeded to get lost trying to find our way back to the campground. Thankfully, my hubby was able to correct our course. I think that is the last time this direction challenged mom will try and head out by herself until we hit more familiar territory again (or at least a smaller center).
Rock Climbing Wall At The Atlanta Zoo
Our eldest son currently volunteers at a zoo, and is hoping to work at one once he finishes his degree in biology, so he was thrilled that our cityPASS included tickets to the Atlanta zoo.
The zoo is located in a wonderful neighborhood of brightly colored heritage homes. Our kids caught my husband and I drooling over the architecture of the area as we walked over to eat at Grant Central Pizza. The restaurant is just a short walk from the zoo and serves a pretty mean lasagna.
The zoo itself is small but very clean and has a great variety of animals. My favorite part of the zoo though had nothing to do with animals.
I have always wanted to try rock wall climbing but it just never has been a money priority. Our zoo tickets included access to the zoo's rock wall. I figured if I was ever going to try rock wall climbing now was my chance.
My daughter went up with me first and scaled it like nothing. I tried three times during her climb to make it to the top and another three times while my husband successfully made it up.
I might not have made it up all the way this time but I did learn something–I love rock wall climbing!
Grant Park Coffeehouse
Right across the street from the zoo parking was the Grant Park Coffeehouse . I remembered seeing that they had good reviews on Yelp when I was looking up where to eat lunch in the area.
I hesitated going since it was late in the day to drink iced coffee (well at least for me) but I am so glad we went! Seriously had the best iced coffee of my life at this place.
The hubby and one of my sons had a fruit smoothie and it was amazing too. My daughter had their caramel frappe and again amazing! I know because being the foodie I am I insisted on sampling all of them.
Laundry day at Spin Clean Coin Laundry
In case you should think we are busy seeing site after site every day I want you to know we still have chores to do. Saturday we took care of laundry and grocery shopping.
Today (Sunday) we went to church (not a chore but a much needed time of worship) and now as I write I am sitting in a local Starbucks writing this post.
The campground does offer free wifi but it slowed to a crawl, even in the campground common house, Friday evening when the population of the place more than quadrupled.
What I Miss & What I Don't
One of the things I wanted to do during this trip is chronicle things I miss about our regular home and life and what I don't. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to be able to take this trip, this list isn't to be negative about the trip at all.
This list instead is for me to see what I haven't missed at all, so that when I get home I can get rid of the things in my home that are causing me to live a cluttered life.
I miss….
- Friends
- Our washer and drier
- My morning yoga class
I don't miss..
- Having my husband gone all day at work
- The rest of my wardrobe
- All the small appliances we didn't bring
Come back next Monday to see what we got up to this week.
Join me on Instagram for daily updates. I am doing my best to post one photo update a day on Facebook too.
First time hearing about our trip ? You can catch up on our all our trip updates on the RV trip page.

Bearing Up Under Bereavement by Rick Ferguson
Genesis 35:16-29
Dr. Rick E. Ferguson
The Bible says there is-
Ecclesiastes 3:2 "A time to be born, and a time to die . . .
The Bible says-
Hebrews 9:27 ". . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment."
The fact of the matter is that death is a very
real part of life. We all live with the constant
awareness of our own mortality, as well as the
mortality of those around us. We are all going to
die; we are all TERMINAL!
Without a doubt, the most difficult trial and
pain we must bear in all of life is the pain of losing
someone we love very dearly in death. There is
nothing--absolutely nothing--harder to do than to walk
by the casket of a husband, wife, child, parent,
brother or sister, very dear friend,
and say goodbye to them--knowing you'll never see them
again for the rest of your life. The loneliness and
emptiness that follows the death of a loved one is
sometimes almost unbearable.
This pain, indescribable pain, is universal.
All of us, if we have not done so already, will
certainly, at some time, face the hurt and horrors of
having death take from us someone we love more than we
love our own lives.
We've been following the life of the Old
Testament patriarch Jacob. We've followed him from
his birth, to his betrothal, to his blessing; and
today we are going to follow him through his
bereavement. We will read where Jacob buried his
beloved wife Rachael and his father Isaac.
Let's look once again to the Word of God to
learn how to bear up under bereavement.
TEXT--Genesis 35:16-29
Those were dark days in Jacob's life. He had
Just come through a time of personal revival and
renewal with God in Bethel. And no sooner had he come
through that wonderful spiritually exhilarating
experience (I mean no sooner had he come off the
highest mountain peak he'd ever experienced in all his
life) he immediately entered the deepest, darkest
valley of ...

Menu (Memu in earlier media) are creatures found on Zebes in Kraid's Lair and as X Parasite mimics in Sector 6 on the Biologic Space Laboratories research station. They are similar to Mellows and Mellas. In Super Metroid they are found in Maridia and are not present in Metroid: Zero Mission despite the original Metroid featuring them in Kraid's Lair. This change might have been done in order to keep in line with Super Metroid's take on Memu's natural habitat being Maridia only (an area not visited in Zero Mission).
Official dataEdit
Metroid manualEdit"They can pass through rocks and walls. Be careful as they fall on Samus in groups. They are the weakest enemy in the hideout, so it's up to you to destroy them."
1986 mangaEdit
"Attacks Samus in a swarm. Be careful, as they can slip through rocks and walls!"
Super Metroid Nintendo Player's GuideEdit
"Small, quick, and very pesky, they will swarm at you."
- It is unknown whether they are organic creatures or in fact mechanoids: some concept art strongly suggests the latter, although the presence of what appear to be Menu-X adds support to the former (as the X usually cannot mimic mechanical devices).
- The "Memu", as it was called at the time, had the most appearances in Captain N: The Game Master comics out of all Metroid series enemies, likely due to its simple design.
- The Menu is similiar to the Holtz in four ways. They are both flying creatures, they both have the same body shape, they both have appendages near the top of their bodies that seem to allow them to fly, and they both have one eye in the center of their bodies. It is possible that Menus are young Holtz, or that the two species are related somehow.

Video: Lisa Harper's Message from the 2010 Imagine Tour
The Gospel of John tells us that in this world we will have trouble; we all have our troubles, not necessarily the same ones, but troubles. The good news is that we are not alone in facing our troubles. Jesus will help us through them. We are all His children, adored and precious to Him.
This message was recorded live during the 2010 Imagine tour.

Ella in Bloom
Ella is a gutsy single parent eking out a living for herself and her intrepid teenage daughter, Birdie, in Old Metairie, Louisiana. Ella writes to her mother about her heirloom roses, linen dresses, and other amenities of a respectable life. Little does her mother know about the run-down, scruffy house Ella really lives in, or that she makes ends meet by watering rich people's houseplants when they flee the coastal summer heat. When Ella's beautiful sister Terrell suddenly dies in a plane crash, old family patterns are shattered, and Ella, confronting the reality of her life-which includes a man she had relegated to the past-can come, finally and fully, into bloom. "Hearon explores with characteristic sensitivity the immense challenge of finding personal happiness in a world that often urges us to settle for less." (The Boston Globe) "A colorful bouquet, redolent with the bittersweet scents of lost and found love." (USA Today) "Shelby Hearon has outdone herself in her wonderful new novel. . . . Ella's story is Shelby in full bloom." (Frederick Busch)

In 1984, a contact for Diamond Dogs was working for the KGB.
After the events of Skull Face's death during the Phantom Pain Incident, the Diamond Dogs' contact via the KGB proceeded to investigate the existence of the paranormals (specifically, the Third Child and the Man on Fire) on Ocelot's orders, largely to give some degree of closure to the Diamond Dogs members due to there still being some unanswered questions regarding Skull Face's plans with them. His investigation ultimately uncovered that they had been related to top-secret research conducted by the Kremlin, as well as several other details including why they were active and even how XOF found Big Boss. This action, however, ended up causing him to get the attention of KGB Directorate S, which ultimately resulted in his being silenced before he could make contact with the information he uncovered. Nonetheless, the contact, anticipating the possibility that he would be killed, had managed to hide what he had uncovered in a film canister and placed it in Spugmay Keep just before his death, and also sent a VI to Diamond Dogs of it's location. However, the transmission was cut off part-way through. Although Diamond Dogs was hard at work trying to fix up the VI, they nonetheless needed to find the film canister quickly due to their receiving word that the KGB sent a Spetsnaz squad to retrieve it.[1][2] Venom Snake was ultimately able to retrieve the canister before the KGB unit was able to find it, with Ocelot debriefing Snake about the Man on Fire and third child's origins and how they were responsible for XOF's attack on the hospital upon decoding the report.[3][4][5]
Behind the scenes
The contact is a character mentioned in Mission 38: Extraordinary in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Although he isn't actually seen due to his death prior to the mission, he is nonetheless an important character in the mission due to his being the reason the mission needed to be conducted.
Notes and references

Extraordinary briefing tape
Revolver "Shalashaska" Ocelot: Boss, we need you to get back a film canister one of our informants hid in the field. He was working under my orders to investigate the "extraordinaries" that showed up in Cyprus. The Man on Fire and the floating boy that keep showing up where they're not welcome. Apparently they were the subjects of some top-secret research conducted by the Kremlin. Unfortunately, that meant our informant drew the attention of the KGB's Directorate S, and they took him out before we could make contact. The good news is he placed a report in a film canister and hid it somewhere in Spugmay Keep. Just before he died, he transmitted VI of the hiding place to us, but the data was cut off partway though. The image is far from clear, but it might provide the clue you need. We'll be analyzing the data further to try to clear it up. For now, get to Spugmay Keep. The KGB have already dispatched a Spetsnaz squad to retrieve that film canister and cover the whole thing up. Boss, there's no time to waste. Head to Spugmay Keep and use the VI as a clue and retrieve the target. Why was Sahelanthropus mobile...? How were the Man on Fire and that kid connected to Skull Face's plan...? If we can just get that report, we can blow it all wide open. Then we can shake off the last remnants of Skull Face, the phantoms he left behind.

Ocelot: We've finished decoding the informant's report. That floating kid we've run into a few times now... looks like he was a test subject in clinical experiments. The Soviets called him "the Third Boy". The Third Boy was brought to a lab on the outskirts of Moscow from Czechoslovakia, after which he was due to be sent to a research center in Leningrad, then Siberia, and finally an academic town in Novosibirsk. It doesn't appear that the researchers witnessed the "talents" we've seen from him, but nevertheless he was quite the popular subject. His "latent cognitive abilities" suddenly awoke en route to Moscow. According to the report, the Third Boy was easily influenced by other individuals' "bio fields". "Evil thoughts" in particular. They affected his mind like a virus. Extreme anger, or resentment... motives for revenge, in other words. During the transport flight to Moscow, the boy was exposed to a powerful mental energy field coming from a certain individual. Ever since, being conscious of his powers, he's become a sort of energy generator. What's unique about him is the way his acute telepathic abilities get taken over by another person's will. The boy began to physically parasitize individuals experiencing extreme anger and codify the host's desires. This includes amplifying the host's natural strengths... Or, in accordance with the host's desires, he can also implant program code in another individual - making them a puppet, essentially. Human neural synapses transmit weak electrical currents between neurons. These electrical currents, though at a level difficult to observe, warp the magnetic field outside the body. The Third Boy is able to "pick up" these weak fluctuations. Contrary to psychotronics, which involves controlling the human mind, his abilities as a receptor are too high. The emotions he picks up from another individual are amplified and unleashed into his body as they recur in his brain. They turn into microwaves, which then affect the physical world. Triggering paranormal phenomena like the spontaneous combustion of organic matter, or psychokinesis - moving an object without touching it. And one other thing. While he's parasitizing a host, the boy's ego gets shut away. Allowing the will of the host to take control of his powers. Like some annoying static drowning out your own voice. That means he isn't responsible for what's been happening. Somebody's extreme anger has manifested through the Third Boy's powers in ways none of us could have predicted...Which would mean this was going on somewhere around us.

Ocelot: Looking back on it, a lot of things make sense now. The Man on Fire, Sahelanthropus...they both came to life thanks to the Third Boy's powers. Everything has been happening through him as a catalyst. We first saw him in the hospital on Cyprus. The boy, parasitizing the Man on Fire's desire for revenge, gave him his new abilities in return. He next appeared in the Hamid fighters' fort, where the Honey Bee was hidden. There, the boy parasitized Skull Face's vengeful mind. He controlled Sahelanthropus, making it do whatever Skull Face wanted. Same goes for when we extracted Emmerich onto the chopper. When he appeared at the Devil's House in Central Africa, Skull Face's will controlled the Man on Fire via the Third Boy's powers. Everything is clear up to this point. But even the informant couldn't pinpoint who the host was in the cave within Serak Power Plant. Sahelanthropus suddenly became active, then crushed not only the Man on Fire but Skull Face as well. Surely neither of them could have been the host. Who else was at that location and bore anger more exreme than either of them? Whose will was controlling Sahelanthropus? According to the report...Emotions transmitted in children's brains affect the surrounding magnetic field more strongly. Cerebral nerves are covered with insulation called myelin sheaths to increase impulse speed. The reason for this "linkage" has to do with the fact that children's myelin sheaths are still developing. So... how many children do you remember being there? Children with a burning desire for revenge, and bearing a grudge against you. I can think of only one. Eli. We don't know what kind of life he's had, but the resentment he's shown towards adults is nothing short of extraordinary. The Third Boy resonated with Eli's mind. And that means Eli bore the strongest animosity of all individuals within the boy's reception range - estimated to be a 3-mile radius - beating out even Volgin and Skull Face. The Third Boy has probably remained hooked on Eli's anger since. You remember the Devil's House? The Third boy showed an interest in Shabani. That must have been his ego making a rare appearance. He may possess abilities far beyond anyone else in the world, but he's still a kid. Maybe them both being kids was enough to bring them together. And if so, maybe with Eli he isn't feeding off him, but acting in symbiosis with him.

Ocelot: So what kickstarted the Third Boy's powers? If we look at the location and time that his plane went down, we can make a pretty good guess. When the plane experienced the first anomaly, it gave an accurate report of its position to a control tower. Due north of the Black Sea, 125 miles east of Kiev. Dead south from the Black Sea is Cyprus's Green Line. So the plane's position was directly north of the hospital where you'd been asleep for nine years. And this anomaly was reported at exactly the same time as you woke up. The plane was enveloped in flame from the inside out. The fuselage burnt to ashes. There were no survivors. At least not publicly admitted. Your thoughts formed a synchronicity with the boy's psyche, and were amplified inside his brain. That would have been more than enough to trigger his abilities. Your rage was like a Big Bang in his head blowing the lid off his powers. The boy was then secretly moved to the lab outside of Moscow where Volgin was comatose. There, Volgin's thoughts resonated with the boy and he was awakened. Volgin became the Man on Fire, hellbent on getting revenge on you. His instincts led him straight to you. Skull Face knew Volgin from Operation Snake Eater, or perhaps from even before. Monitoring this pair of "extraordinaries", he discovered the hospital and sent his assassin and XOF. Skull Face was probably watching the situation from close by. Then, realizing how useful these two test subjects could be, he approached them. Reacting to Skull Face's thirst for revenge, this time the boy let Skull Face's will control Volgin. Volgin, at times driven by personal revenge, at times through Skull Face's will, kept on moving, though his body was little more than dead meat. Perhaps there were moments where even your thoughts affected hm as well. But without the boy's power, it was like the plug had been pulled from the socket. Everything was powered by anger, malice, revenge. This is how the end of the report sums things up. Both the Third Boy and the Man on Fire were originally test subjects of paranormal research for "military applications". Like telekinetically controlling the leader of an enemy nation and making him launch a nuke. Or stopping the heart of someone on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall. Experimenting with latent human abilities. They were used as tools of the Cold War. The boy's only crime was being born with unique gifts, but he was sacrificed on the altar of war, his life reduced to slavery under other people's wills. Turned into a living weapon with no will of his own. Eventually the only emotion he could feel must have been the desire to get revenge for the hand he'd been dealt. Boss, it's you that awakened the boy's powers. But there's more to it than that. I guess the anger emanating from you was something he could truly relate to.

Bring forms over from FormsCentralAsked by jbillings on February 06, 2015 at 09:32 AM
I started the process of having my forms moved over from FormsCentral. I submitted this yesterday and see no forms have come over. I went in again to do it and received a message saying they were in que. Generally how many days does it take to bring forms over from FomrsCentral once the request is submitted? I'm testing this with my personal account to see how it works, but assuming this works well I will need to set up a paid account for my work and bring over their forms as well. We have about a 100 forms in FormsCentral with a few years of data. Is it possible to give me an estimate of how many days or weeks this process would take.
I would like to welcome you James, we are actually getting more and more questions about this and I can tell you that our tools are quite fast, but the number of people requesting this is increasing by the day.
I would actually like to suggest to take a look at one thread: FormsCentral-Migration request is waiting in the queue I have posted 2 answers there so far that I believe will answer your questions.
If you still have a question, feel free to let us know and we will be happy to answer them.
In regards to your work account, I would suggest submitting the request as soon as possible since I believe that as the closing draws nearer more people will be looking to transfer over.

Red Cross faces 'mad cow disease' problem
KERRY O'BRIEN: The Red Cross blood bank faced a crisis of confidence just four months ago, after it was revealed a young girl had contracted HIV from a blood transfusion. The Red Cross described it as a one-in-a-million chance.
Now, it's facing another dilemma -- how it should deal with the emergence of a new variant of the life-threatening 'mad cow' disease, or CJD, in humans.
While it's considered to be only a theoretical risk, Canada, the US and New Zealand have all moved to restrict donors who have recently lived in the UK for more than six months for fear of contamination.
But authorities in Australia are reluctant to follow suit because it would have a devastating effect on blood supplies, which are already critically low. Philippa McDonald reports:
PROFESSOR COLIN MASTERS, PATHOLOGY DEPT, MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY: It's a progressive subacute disease of the brain. It's also infectious.
From the time of onset to death is roughly six months, or thereabouts.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Mad cow disease was first identified in the United Kingdom back in the mid-80s.
But it was only three years ago that medical authorities revealed the deadly condition, known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or CJD in humans, had jumped species.
DR PETER FLANAGAN, NEW ZEALAND BLOOD SERVICE: Currently it's a disease where only 50 cases have been reported worldwide, but there's considerable uncertainty as to how many cases will develop during the next 10, 20, perhaps 40 years.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: While the suspicion that the disease could be contracted by eating contaminated meat shook the British beef industry, scientists are still not sure exactly how the disease is spread.
PROFESSOR COLIN MASTERS: We know very little about how it's normally passed from one person to another.
Indeed, we know that many cases are genetic, but the majority of cases seem to appear from nowhere and we don't really understand why some people get it and other people don't.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: The discovery of abnormal forms of protein in the white blood cells of those diagnosed with CJD has led experts such as Professor Colin Masters to wonder whether the disease may actually be carried in the blood stream.
A hypothesis which carries enormous implications for blood banks around the world.
PROFESSOR COLIN MASTERS: We're not certain as to whether it has an increased propensity to travel in the blood system and since we're extremely limited at this time in being able to detect it, we need to take prudent measures to protect the safety of the blood supply.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: With no way yet developed to screen for CJD, blood banks are considering safeguards against a repeat of the HIV contamination scares of recent years.
Last week New Zealand's health authorities decided to follow the United States and Canada in taking a drastic step to ensure the safety of its blood supply.
DR PETER FLANAGAN: On 17 February 2000, we will introduce a new donor policy which will mean that individuals who have spent six months or more within the United Kingdom between the years 1980 to 1996 will no longer be eligible to donate blood.
KAREN LIPTON, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF BLOOD BANKS: Our Federal Food and Drug Administration is preparing to implement an indefinite deferral for any individual who has travelled or resided in the United Kingdom for a cumulative period of six months, any time between 1980 and 1996.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: But while North America and NZ will start turning away tens of thousands of donors from next year, Australia is still considering whether to follow suit.
DR TONY KELLER, AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS BLOOD SERVICE: We can't compromise the sufficiency of the blood supply due to -- because of a theoretical risk.
We've really got to make sure we have enough blood -- it has to be safe, but we have to have enough blood so that people are not going to die.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: As chairman of the Red Cross blood service's donor and product safety committee, Dr Tony Keller says Australia is already struggling to meet demand for blood and may not be able to afford to ban what's a significant number of donors.
DR TONY KELLER: I think most countries have introduced their restrictions in the light of what their blood supply can actually cope with.
In America, it was 2.2 per cent of the donor population was lost with a six-month ban and in Canada, they, I think, lost 2.4 per cent. So they're very low figures.
With a six-month ban in Australia, we would lose an average of 5.3 per cent and that ranges through the States and Territories from 1.6 per cent to 8 per cent.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: But NZ, which stands to lose a much greater percentage of its blood donors, stands by its decision.
DR PETER FLANAGAN: We believe we have 121,000 active donors. This means that the new policy will result in the loss of 12,000 donors. We do, however, believe that we must put safety first.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: But Dr Tony Keller fears initial estimates of Australian donor losses could be conservative.
His concern is many others could take it upon themselves and also stop donating blood.
DR TONY KELLER: We run the risk of -- I don't want to exaggerate this -- but plunging us into a supply crisis, in that we will not be able to support elective surgery or even emergency transfusion requirements if people start self-deferring.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: On Tuesday, the Australian Red Cross blood service board will vote whether to err on the side of caution and stop taking blood from a group who've been among their most reliable donors.
DR TONY KELLER: We're going to have to replace them with new donors and people who have lapsed for various reasons in the past, have stopped donating, need to come back.
People have really got to think, do they want a blood supply, do they want a safe blood supply and how can they help to achieve that?

With more than five hours to spare, GiveNOLA Day exceeded its goal of raising $3 million for New Orleans area nonprofits Tuesday.
By 6:15 p.m., more than 24,000 donors had opened their wallets and poured money into dozens of nonprofits during the 24-hour online fundraising drive, now in its second year.
The event, organized by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, is part of a national, one-day donation drive known as Give Local America.
More than 570 nonprofits, up from 309 last year, participated in this year's local campaign.
The goal for the local day of giving was $3 million. Donations totaled more than half of that figure by midday and passed last year's $2.2 million total before 2:30 p.m.
The total stood at $3.17 million just after 6 p.m. Donations were being accepted until midnight.
Tuesday's fundraising campaign — which coincided with the anniversary of the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, marked in the United States with lively Cinco de Mayo parties featuring Mexican food and drinks — included a "GiveNOLA Day Fiesta" at Lafayette Square. The outdoor festival featured an on-site "donation station."
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, which received the most donations last year, was again at the top of the leader board Tuesday evening, with 123 donors giving a total of nearly $180,000.
Louise S. McGehee School was second, with more than $106,000 raised. The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans, with about $78,000 in donations, was in third place.
Also mirroring last year's fundraising event, Team Gleason led in the race for the most individual donors, with more than 675 people contributing more than $35,000 to the nonprofit with more than five hours left on the clock.
The nonprofits' rankings were updated in real time on the GiveNOLA website at www.givenola.org to put a competitive spin on the acts of fundraising and giving and, hopefully, to draw more people to contribute.
More than $96,000 in prizes also were awarded.
"Of course, giving is a meaningful experience for a lot of people," GNOF President and CEO Albert Ruesga said. "But there's no reason why it also can't be a fun experience."
Ruesga said he has been impressed with the level of creativity employed by some nonprofits to bring attention — and money — to their causes. Last year, an organization offered free tango lessons as a perk of donating. This year, members of another nonprofit said they would rappel off a building if they reach their funding goal, Ruesga said.
Donations of $10 or more counted toward the competition.
The event included participants from the Greater New Orleans Foundation's 13-parish area, which comprises Assumption, Jefferson, Lafourche, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne and Washington parishes.
The nonprofits spanned a wide range of interests including housing, education, health care and public safety.
Before the giving period was over, donations had arrived from all 50 states and 19 countries.
New Orleanian Linda Lewis made her donation to Cafe Reconcile, the Central City nonprofit restaurant that provides life-skills and job training, including in the culinary arts, to at-risk young people ages 16 to 22.
"I've never eaten there, but I've heard so many good things about it," Lewis said. "Hopefully, one day I'll get over there to taste it for myself."

Isolationand enumeration of aerobic bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal tract of nineculturable freshwater teleosts, namely catla, rohu, mrigal, silver carp, grasscarp, common carp, tilapia, walking catfish and murrel have been carried out.Amylolytic, cellulolytic, lipolytic and proteolytic microflora were identifiedfrom the culture plate using selective media. The isolates were qualitativelyscreened on the basis of their extracellular enzyme producing ability. Theselected strains were further quantitatively assayed for amylase, cellulase,lipase and protease activities. Protease activity was exhibited by almost allthe bacterial isolates, while strains isolated from tilapia, grass carp andcommon carp showed considerable amylolytic and cellulolytic activities. Maximumactivity of lipase was exhibited by a strain isolated from silver carp. Thestudy indicates that there is a distinct microbial source of the digestiveenzymes – amylase, cellulase, lipase and protease, apart from endogenoussources in fish gut. The information generated from the present investigationmight contribute towards better feed formulations for carp at low cost,incorporating the enzyme producing bacterial isolates as probiotics.

Easily found at flea markets and antique stores, old bottles in various shades of white, blue, amber and green have character worth showing off. Don't worry if they are chipped or flawed; you can still use them in creative ways. Whether they are old medicine, wine, milk or vinegar bottles, there are easy and inexpensive ways of highlighting their shapes and characters.
Bottle Preparation
Soak old bottles in hot, soapy water to remove dirt and dust and to loosen the label. Scrape the label off with a plastic dish-scraping tool or a razor blade. Wash them in the dishwasher on a sterilization setting if you plan to refill them with beverages. Set the bottles aside to dry completely before starting any projects with them. If the bottles have an undesirable odor, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into the open bottle followed by a tablespoon or two of vinegar; do not cover the bottle while the chemical reaction takes place. Rinse with hot water and allow to dry.
Practical Uses
Reuse old wine and milk bottles to hold iced tea, juice and lemonade the next time you entertain. Set the decorative bottles onto the buffet or dining table and let guests help themselves. As an added touch, embellish them with homemade labels.
Make a reed diffuser with your cool old bottles. To complete, fill the bottle with scented oil and insert reeds. DIY reed diffuser kits are available at arts and crafts store.
Let There Be Light
You can also make a lamp from an old bottle; use one with a wide bottom, like a 1-gallon jug or larger. With a lamp-making kit from a home improvement store, you can repurpose an old bottle as the body of a vintage-style lamp. Add a bulb and a lampshade to enjoy your new lighting decor.
Alternatively, one of the easiest ways to use an interesting old bottle is to give it new life as a candle holder. Place a mismatched collection of bottles of varying heights on a table and set a taper candle into the neck of each. If the base of the candle is just a little too wide, shave some wax off with a potato peeler. If it seems too wobbly when you insert it into the bottle, use a dab of hot glue inside the bottle's neck to hold it in place. For added interest, fill the bottle with sand, dried beans or marbles.
Home Decor
The most obvious way to use a cool, old bottle is as a vase. For added impact, cluster five to eight bottles together on a tray before adding flowers to them. Even a green sprig from a bush or a bundle of rosemary looks fresh and inviting when placed in a pretty, old bottle.
For a personal touch, display a postcard or photo by wedging it between the tines of a fork. Select a fork that fits the image, such as a bamboo, vintage silver or brightly colored plastic fork, and place the fork, tines up, into the bottle.

Chloë Grace Moretz suffers with post-traumatic stress disorder
Chloë Grace Moretz has post-traumatic stress disorder.
The 19-year-old beauty believes she's been mentally scarred by her father's decision to walk out on her and her four siblings six years ago and will never get over it.
She explained: "In my business in general, it's hard to trust people. And it definitely affected me at a young age in terms of accepting people into my life on a personal level. But I've overcome that in the past few years -- dealing with relationships, dealing with guys. You don't realise why you're acting a certain way, and then you start to piece it together, and you realise you've got a slight case of PTSD."
And the blonde beauty is adamant she'll never be willing to patch up her relationship with her dad after he deserted her mother to raise five children as a single parent.
Speaking to Glamour magazine, she added: "I don't think I will truly find a way to forgive. The things that he did are unforgivable ... My forgiveness is that I'm living my life."
Chloë believes her siblings Trevor, Ethan, Brandon and Colin did a fantastic job at protecting her as a youngster.
She said: "My brothers bumped up into the roles of fathers and kept me in a bubble where I could live in a world that wasn't jaded and ruined. They peeled back when I turned 18, but yeah, it's like I have four bodyguards. When a guy comes to the house to pick me up for a date, I enjoy them answering the door, shaking his hand, and then him being like, 'Your brothers are kind of scary.' I'm like, 'They are definitely very scary.' I enjoy the power of that."
