Hang in there. They will find her. I go to her little sister's school and every time I see her sister I feel like I am going to cry. The Lord will help us find her. I promise that you won't be alone through this, there is a hope you can still hold on to. She will come back.

The one year date of Amber's disappearance was marked by so many caring people who participating in the Walk A Thon or sponsored those that walked. The donations received from this fund raiser will allow us to continue the search with mailing and posters...whatever we can do to keep her precious face in front of everyone so they will remember and keep looking for her.
Words alone cannot express our thankfulnes for all the love and support from so many who have learned to care for our Amber. Thank you. Please keep Amber in your prayers. God bless you.
Amber's Grandmom, Sheila Welch

My thoughts are with you all, praying Amber is returned safely soon
Thursday, 18 February 2010
To the family of Amber:
From my family to yours we hope that you will find Amber safe and sound. My wife, kids and I lived in the Escondido for about 5 years during the time your daughter disappeared. I worked in security and investigations and had some thought of what might help. I would hate to lose any of my kids and would do my best to look for them and would appreciate all the help I can get.
As reported in the news, your daughter had a check to buy an animal. Was that check ever cashed?
Has there been any at all "Unusual Activity" with the checking account that the check was written on? Where was the person/s or company supposed to meet your daughter to get her animal? What "if a company" was providing the animal where are they located and has your daughter been there to see the place? The truck that might/or might not be involved at the school it has a hitch for a trailer in the back, wonder if this person driving was from the company supplying the animal for her. Other questions, has she been anywhere by herself for these FFA events or was she with family? Do you remember where she went for these events? If you remember have you been there to look? I also being involved with law enforcement and security has anyone reviewed the "SIGNAL LIGHT CAMERAS" installed in or around the area of where she disappeared? Yes if you look at the signal light posts in the area, you will see on some there is a white tubular camera that is placed on the top near the light, that is a camera and it does get recorded. <

To Amber's Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you on this sad anniversary of Amber's disappearance. I hope that you will get the answers that you deserve. You probably know of the high-profile, recent case of Jaycee Dugard being found after 18 years. I hope that it won't take nearly that long to find Amber or any other missing person! I can tell that you are doing everything you can to find your daughter, and I pray that soon your heroic efforts will pay off. Amber, wherever she is, is blessed that so many people are advocating for her and not letting her story become a cold case.
My continued thoughts and prayers for Amber's safe return to you!

My name is Wil and i am with See53. As a parent with a child with Autism, I somewhat understand what you are going through in that he is considered a runner and has actually run off a few times. I will never forget that initial fear of where could he be.
We are a Outdoor Advertising Company and we wrap semi-trucks that drive local and across the country. We also can enlist the support of truckers in Mexico as well. I'd like to offer our services to help you find Amber. I unfortunately cannot do this for free but I'd like to offer that we do this at our cost - no markup whatsoever. Take a look at www.see53.com and this will give you a better picture of how we could broadcast throughout the country .
I could be reached at (858) 395-0468

I'm from Belgium and I'm "intrigued" by missing persons. I can't quite comprehend how mentally disturbed - because that's what they are - people abduct other people. I feel sorry for the parents and everyone who knows her. I hope with all my heart that she returns safe and sound.

I am praying for you. I will post this story on my Facebook. Such unimaginable circumstances. I am a mother and after reading your story tonight I may go sit in my child's room and just watch him sleep.
Peace to you all and faith that she will return safely.

I am a mother and a grandmother and can't imagine the burden of having a child missing. You have my most heartfelt prayers and sympathy. I am also an astrologer and I have looked at Amber's birthchart as well as the chart of when she disappeared. If possible, I would like to have her birthtime in order to more accurately determine what may have happened. I have had some psychic information which I am not confident enough to share yet (although I will tell you I did get her middle name which was confirmation for me that I may be on the right track). I am hoping with the additional information I might either disregard or clarify the info. I am not a nut, nor am I a professional, just a caring person with some psychic ability who for some reason was drawn to Amber in particular when I saw her in People. I will tell you that the vehicle I see is not the truck in the photo. Anyway, I hate to ask or impose in any way but if you could share her actual birth time I would very much appreciate it. I of course, will share any significant information I get with you. My Very Best Regards, Valerie Thomas

To Amber and her family,
I wrote in the guestbook a few months ago. Not a day though goes by that I do not think about Amber. I'm almost 20 years old and I live in Florida. Amber, you remind me so much of my best friend and your story has touched me very deeply.
Like you, she is kind hearted, loves animals, like reading, and especially loves wolves. She was thinking about doing some sort of internship at Yellowstone or Yosemite, or one of the other national parks. She's interested in animal behavior and talks all the time about studying the wolves. She took an animal training class at our college last spring and actually taught her dog a lot of cute tricks! If you saw the video she took of her dog you'd laugh! :)
Almost every day I use Google News to look for word of you. I've never met you, yet you and your family have touched me on such a personal level. I will NEVER stop looking for you and stop hoping for your return. Everytime I go out, I always glance around, wondering if maybe you're walking by. I've shared your story with my friends and joined your facebook group.
I've even sent a few letters to Nancy Grace asking her to air your story again. She's very loud (haha! :P) so I think maybe she could get the attention of people and get your story out there.
Amber, if you're reading this... please hold on. Wherever you are - hold on and never give up hope. I've never been in a situation like yours before, but I know what it's like to lose hope, to feel like you have no strength left in you. But let me tell you Amber, you always have strength. It is always there. In our darkest hours our hearts still beat, we still inhale and exhale, we still LIVE. Fight for your life, for your family, for the wolves, and for this beautiful world in which we live. Never, EVER give up Amber. When you cannot fight, your family and all of us out there will fight for you, but do not ever give up. While you may have to walk miles, t

Back in January, our Rialto debt collection abuse lawyers wrote about oral arguments in a Supreme Court case asking whether collection agencies may claim a good faith defense when they make mistakes of law. In Jerman v. Carlisle, McNellie, Rini, Kramer & Ulrich LPA et al., No. 08-1200 (April 21, 2010), a debt collection law firm asked the high court to decide whether it could use the "bona fide error" defense in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to defend itself from a lawsuit brought over a mistake of law rather than one of fact. The FDCPA allows debtors to sue debt collectors for violations of the Act, but says debt collectors may not be liable for violations that were not intentional and the result of a "bona fide error." Now, the New York Law Journal reported April 22, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of consumers.
The lawsuit was brought by Karen Jerman, whose property Carlisle McNellie sought to foreclose on in 2006. In fact, Jerman had paid her mortgage debt in full. The law firm's notice to Jerman said the debt would be assumed valid unless she contested it in writing, which is a mistaken interpretation of the FDCPA. The law allows debtors to contest the validity of debts, but they need not do so in writing. Jerman did successfully contest the debt, and when her mortgage company acknowledge that she had paid it off, Carlisle McNellie dropped the case. Jerman then sued the law firm for its violation of the FDCPA. The federal district court found that Carlisle McNellie had violated the Act, but granted summary judgment to the firm, saying it was shielded by the bona fide error defense. The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision, creating a split with the majority of circuits that had ruled that the bona fide error defense is only available for clerical and factual mistakes.
In its ruling, the seven-justice majority at the Supreme Court disagreed. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for the majority, said there was little evidence that Congress had intended to extend the defense to mistakes of fact. Furthermore, she wrote, state laws similar to the FDCPA have explicitly excluded mistakes of law from their own bona fide error defenses. Debt collectors and their attorneys in those states have not seen the explosion of litigation that Carlisle McNellie suggested would arise from an unfavorable ruling. Justice Breyer, concurring, wrote that lawyers who are unsure how to proceed may seek an advisory opinion from the FTC. Justice Scalia also concurred, but disagreed with some of the logic behind the majority's ruling. Justice Kennedy dissented, joined by Alito, saying the decision allows more lawsuits against attorneys who make good-faith mistakes.
As Rowland Heights unfair debt collection attorneys, we can assure readers that collection agencies already routinely break or stretch the law, relying on consumers' ignorance of the law to protect them from lawsuits. If the majority had decided that debt collectors could use the "bona fide error" defense for mistakes of law, there would have been nothing stopping them from intentionally breaking the law, and defending themselves from the resulting lawsuits by simply claiming they had misunderstood the law. In short, such a decision would undermine the FDCPA and its intention to protect consumers from debt collectors' overreaching. That's why we're grateful that the majority decided in favor of consumers' rights.
At Howard Law PC, we frequently represent clients who are victims of illegal and unfair behavior by collection firms. The FDCPA and its California counterpart, the Rosenthal FDCPA, require certain behaviors by debt collectors and prohibit other behaviors. Among other things, debt collectors may not threaten actions they cannot, or do not intend to, take; call before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m.; contact anyone other than the debtor or his or her spouse; or call at work after learning that the employer won't permit it. However, they must identify themselves as debt collectors, and they must verify the debt on request or cease communication. Our Fullerton abusive debt collection attorneys hear frequently about violations of these rules and others, and we help consumers fight back with lawsuits that can stop the harassment and sometimes win back money.
Howard Law offers free consultations, so you risk nothing by speaking to us about your rights and your case. To set one up, call us toll-free at 1-800-872-5925 or contact us through the internet today.

Health is not a dichotomy. Not everything that results from poor health is bad, and not all that comes from good health is instantly positive.
The home of Professional Sick Girl and other, unrelated, words.
Health is not a dichotomy. Not everything that results from poor health is bad, and not all that comes from good health is instantly positive.
It's that time of year again.
Oh, you thought I meant the election?
Well, yes. But it's also around about the time of year I end up in hospital for a 14 day course of intravenous antibiotics to treat the underlying and continuous infection in my lungs.
By Cystic Fibrosis standards this is nothing; it's a walk in the park. I'm reminded of this every time I meet my fellow patients in hospital.
I was also in hospital during the Brexit vote last year (and yes, I escaped to go back home and vote). It occurred to me that I've probably been in hospital for two of the most significant political decisions in a generation.
Despite voting remain, I understand valid political arguments for leaving the EU. But when I woke up in my squeaky hospital bed on June 24th 2016, I felt nothing but shame and sadness. Every single nurse who came to see me that day was an EU citizen: Spanish, Polish, Portuguese and one Italian. The NHS – the 5th biggest employer in the world – could not survive without them, and they were made to feel unwelcome in this country.
This year, there is a much more complex decision to be made, in the sense that there is no simple YES or NO to tick on a ballot box.
But one issue for me is startlingly straightforward; how much we need our national health service.
Dr Archie Norman was one of the founding members of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, who passed away earlier this year aged 104. This is what he had to say when discussing the great milestones of CF treatment in his lifetime. "Last, but not least, was the advent of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948 – we could prescribe drugs without worrying whether the family could afford them, a matter of immense importance in a persistent long-term disease such as cystic fibrosis."
There may be many countries in the world that sadly can't afford a health service such as ours, but we – as the 5th or 9th biggest economy in the world, depending on where you get your statistics- are not one of those countries. And there's no doubt that the future of the NHS depends on our vote tomorrow.
I wouldn't be here without it, I am sure. There are 15 million people in the UK classed as having a chronic illness, and for so many of them it is more than a figurative lifeline. We owe so much to the system and the people within it that, despite its flaws, help us live healthier, happier, longer lives.
I won't argue that any one party has got all the answers at this election. The issues are complex and the solutions expensive, but there is no denying that a continued Tory government will be the end of the NHS.
Please, don't vote for that. Many of us have a lot to lose.
I would expect, that even if you aren't a part of the niche, tight-knit community of CF-related diabetics like me*, you will have experienced brain fog at some point in your professional career. Or cognitive dysfunction, to give it its scientific name.
Maybe it was a critical moment, in a big meeting as you pitched the incredible, life-changing, oh-no-you-just-forgot-what-it-is, to a potential client or investor. Perhaps it was in the middle of an interview for a coveted job.
Or a more mundane, everyday kind of situation. When you forgot something mid-sentence on a phonecall, or forgot your password, fingers hovering over the keys as you tried to remember which dead pet name now makes up part of your obscure login.
We've all had it, often at the worst moments and it can be phenomenally irritating. It is also perhaps, a leveller, that makes even the most high-powered businessperson simply human for a moment.
According to Google, people search for all kinds of queries related to brain fog. We want to know what causes it, what it feels like, what foods make it worse (gluten, apparently), what kind of doctor can 'treat' it (now that is one kind of doctor I'd love to see), how long it lasts and more.
But is there anything good about brain fog? Perhaps so.
I am particularly intrigued by the phenomenon and that is because I experience a certain, specialist type of brain fog. You might know it as diabetic hypoglycemia, or to give it its common name 'a hypo'.
A hypo is a little different for everyone with diabetes, but let me tell you how it feels for me: the area around my mouth starts to feel a little numb, my lips tingle. I become very aware that I am trying to remember what it normally feels like in my head. I know something has changed. It goes quiet outside as I concentrate on working out what is happening. I always come to the same conclusion; as if by magic, some little stealth pixie must have stepped into my head and replaced my brain with styrofoam. I start to sweat a little, and then the penny drops. A hypo has hit.
At different times depending on how severe the hypo was, I've forgotten what I was saying, or doing, and on one or two occasions I've forgotten how to spell my name.
I don't want to trivialise hypoglycemia as it can lead to life-threatening situations when not controlled. But having developed diabetes aged 21 I can remember life before hypos very clearly. And in pursuit of a silver lining in everything; I can say that the aftermath of a hypo can make me feel more alive.
That sudden absence of everything in my head and the instant switch into survival mode a hypo brings is extraordinary. Life becomes very simple and two dimensional. It gives me such an extreme respect for my brain and my body.
When the hypo is over I feel so grateful to have made it through. That absence of feeling is a reminder of how much is there when my body returns to normal.
In much the same way that brain fog is often just a side-effect of the human body going about its complex, messy, incredible business.
So cheers to that.
*A not well known, but common complication of Cystic Fibrosis in adults is CF-related diabetes. This is a bit of hybrid beast that is neither type 1 or 2, but bears more resemblance to type 1 and is usually treated with insulin.
I recently blogged about my big-deal-but-not-really-a-big-deal decision not to buy any clothes for a year.
If I were the kind of person who didn't like clothes or was not easily swept up in the whispers of commoditized fast fashion that would not be worth telling you about. But I am, or was, that kind of person.
As I have previously said, I think expressing yourself through the clothes you wear is a wonderful thing. It just becomes a tad more complex of an issue when you discover that it takes 2,700 litres of water to produce one cotton t-shirt.
For the English among us, that's 4,751 pint glasses of water.
If like in the 1800s we all wore one shirt per year*, perhaps that would be a sensible ratio of resources to output and no one would be getting so hot under the collar (I'm here all week) about the impact the fashion industry is having on climate change.
And that is the essence of fast fashion; more. More of the same, but in 5 different colours. More tops like last year but this time with more ruffles around the collar. More heels because the last pair broke and you might as well buy two pairs since you're here anyway.
And so the cycle continues; more becomes more water, more cotton, more oil and more trees.
Which is why in my quest to buy better quality and far fewer clothes in the future, I've been exploring some of the amazing initiatives that are taking place to make fashion a much cooler, more sustainable industry.
My old uni, The University of Exeter and Fashion Revolution, an organisation set up to do exactly what it sounds like, have created a (free) short course designed to take the user on a journey of discovery about where their clothes really come from. It doesn't start until 26th June and takes only 4 hours a week.
I'm really interested to find out more about the people, methods both good and bad, and the material that creates some of the clothes in my wardrobe. It means that when I shop in the future I will start to understand the places to go, the materials to look for and the true cost of what I'm wearing. You can sign up here if the idea excites you, too.
And to end with a piece of highly relevant trivia, did you know that H&M has created a ballgown entirely out of waste marine plastic for their 2017 Conscious collection? Well you do now, and apparently the material is 'unlike other plastic-based fabrics, it's supersoft and can adapt to almost anything you want to make, from jeans to cocktail dresses.'
Which gives me hope, because if being good can also mean looking good, H&M may just be on the cusp of unlocking a new, and rather large customerbase.
*Completely uncited but in some cases probably quite accurate statement, merely used to make a point about modern shopping habits.
I like clothes. Rather a lot. They're beautiful, versatile, and help you be anyone you want to be. Or at least, that's what they whisper at you from the mirror of the dressing room as you try them on.
Which is why the conclusion I came to last month, to try not to buy any new clothes for a year, felt like a dramatic one. And certainly left me wondering how many new hobbies I'd need to pick up the slack on all the time I used to spend shopping.
When I told my boyfriend however, he seemed nonplussed. This is the same guy who subsisted in the same pair of black skinny jeans for 3 years before I met him, so I may have been pitching to the wrong audience. While I am well aware that excessive shopping is not a vice that plagues everyone (and I salute you for it), it is a preoccupation of more than a few friends and family; and indeed a large chunk of the Western world.
So why the big gesture? Well, there's no singular reason and it was not a sudden revelation. There has been a sickly feeling in my stomach whenever I've bought clothes for a while now. I know there will be some caveats and rules I'll need to establish; what about special occasions like my brother's wedding, or when all my socks inevitably have holes in?
So while I am still working out the details, the need for change is obvious. According to the Economist, global clothing production doubled from 2000 to 2014. That can't have been me doing all the buying. Every year more clothes are being made, and more are being thrown away sooner. Again from the Economist; Zara used to make do with a handful of yearly collections, now they have twenty.
When you compound that with another stat, from McKinsey – that simply producing 1kg of fabric generates on average 23kg of greenhouse gases – the sickly feeling gets a little stronger.
Must looking good really necessitate killing the planet?
I don't think there's a single answer to that question, and I don't want to speak for others. Personally I get frustrated with clothes that are better suited to the dust bin after only a year of wear, and I get angry with myself for so easily falling prey to promotion after promotion in the sales. But I don't think liking clothes is wrong.
What about the confidence-boosting, the creativity, the buying power of fashion, which all bring immeasurable positives. Charities like SmartWorks show the difference a good outfit and the right training can do for women out of work. But there has to be a better way to do this. The opportunity is ripe for more brands to tackle clothing production and consumption in a profitable and sustainable way. Following in the footsteps of brands like Patagonia, and encouraging more people to make do with fewer, higher-quality items of clothing is surely the way forward.
This is after all a personal experiment and I'm doing it to learn. I want to understand what really goes into the process of making clothes; the environmental and the human cost. Yesterday was the anniversary of the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster, one of the most shameful days in the history of the fashion industry. I'd like to better understand the psychology of it too; the reasons why new clothes have been so important to my self-esteem and why my choice of outfit is as important to some as the words I say in a meeting.
12 months from now I think I'll still like clothes, but maybe I'll respect them too.
I got offered a freelance role recently. Successful agency, a big new business win to work on and, it goes without saying, some financial security.
I turned it down.
I could almost hear the recruiter thinking when I told her my decision, "is she crazy or just plain stupid?" Of course, she was nothing but pure professionalism in her response and I thank her for that.
But it wasn't a straightforward decision. I'd already decided that I should probably take some time out between jobs to give the old breathers a chance to recover and repair. Besides, I had about a month long backlog of hospital appointments to catch up on (sadly the over-burdened NHS hasn't quite got around to developing holographic technology to enable virtual appointments yet, but here's hoping.)
In addition, I had made the hard decision to leave my previous agency to pursue a different kind of planning and transition into the sustainability and charity sector, so to not give that a shot first seemed wrong.
But the most pressing reason – that even common sense and a decent pay cheque couldn't argue with – was where the agency was. Specifically the air around it. It was in an area of of London known for very poor air quality.
I've got my own little mind map of London that doesn't mark the tourist spots or the best lattes in town (I'd pay good money for that map though) but it does tell me where all the areas of persistently bad air quality are, and I do my best to avoid them for long periods of time.
It sounds a little dramatic I know, the effects of breathing poor air are negligible if your exposure is minimal- for everyone that is, CF or not- but the long term effects are quite another thing.
There are lots of things you can't put a price on and – it's taken me a long while to accept it – keeping my lung function as good as it possibly could be, definitely falls somewhere in the ballpark of priceless.
Now if someone could only develop a high fashion face mask that doesn't make you look like a ninja with a side hustle, that'd be peachy.
That scrappy bit of paper above is a list of life ambitions I wrote, aged 18. You can see I didn't exactly hold back.
That scrappy bit of paper is a list of life ambitions I wrote, aged 18. I didn't exactly hold back. In full it reads:
learn a form of martial art.
To complete this grandiose document I then apparently scribbled some train times upside down at the bottom. In a similar vein, I didn't find this note carefully stored for future reflection but by chance, stuffed in an old folder, when I recently moved house.
A few ambitions have changed in the 10 years since then; I never did apply for that NATO job nor have I seriously picked up a camera since I was 19. Ambitions change as we grow older, sometimes for better sometimes not (although me not singing in a band is almost certainly doing the world a favour). But what really hits me looking back on that list now, is the fact I had no limitations. My 18 year old self saw no reason for me to dream smaller or be cautious.
And why should I have been? At 18 I hadn't had a single IV admission, I didn't take any regular nebulisers, I hadn't developed CF related diabetes, I only took about 10 pills a day. I'd just been prescribed my first inhaler. I was not by any stretch, what you would expect from a young adult with CF. I am proud to have dreamed so big.
The thing is, those big dreams may have evolved but they haven't gone anywhere. I am loath to accept limitations, and the list I'd write aged 28 is just as ambitious as the old one, Cystic Fibrosis or not. But a little life experience has taught me that achieving every dream takes time and compromise.
A thought popped into my head the other day, and I found myself speculating how much lung function I had permanently lost in the last 3 years due to normal stresses like long hours at work and city air. I settled on 6 percent. Lung function fluctuates naturally, mine has gone up and down by 20% in the last year depending on how well and generally fit I am. But there is something called a baseline measurement in lung function, and CF doctors will use it to assess what your best figure is.
After my morbid moment, I mentally slapped myself and went back to mindlessly scrolling through my Facebook feed. But navel-gazing Elly had a point, there's an opportunity cost in everything we do. We all need a method of measuring how we spend our time – even if spent percentages of lung function is a little niche – how else will we work towards our goals?
I thought about all the hours that made up those three years, some spent in pursuit of goals big and small, others spent happily pursuing no goal at all. I wouldn't go back and change them; they've led to personal and professional achievements I'm proud of. But I do wish I'd spent more of that 6% in pursuit of the things I really measure myself by. The motivations, beliefs and dreams that inspired that little list in an A5 notebook aged 18.
Which is why, 2 weeks ago, I quit my job. I'm spending the next few weeks working on a writing project I've been awarded a grant for. Beyond that I'm looking for a role in a creative agency where I can work on the kind of social change, charity and sustainability projects that get me really excited.
I'd like to make every percentage count.

One benefit of Lifetime Basketball Hoops are the ease with which they can be adjusted. Within seconds any adjustable Lifetime Basketball Hoop can be raised or lowered to the desired level. This works well for younger children who may not be able to reach a 10-foot rim and for teens trying to improve their vertical leaping abilities. Different models have different means of adjustment. Some models are not adjustable at all.
Telescoping Height Adjust Models
Locate the knob on the back of the basketball pole and pull the hoop toward you either sideways or straight forward so you can reach the knob. There is only one knob, which was screwed in during installation. For safety, this action should be performed by an adult.
Pull the knob back and move the hoop to the desired location by pushing up or letting down on the backboard. Lifetime Basketball Hoops that use the telescoping height adjustment will move in 6-inch increments and from 7 1/2 to 10 feet in height.
Tug on the backboard to make sure it has locked into place. Gently ease the hoop back to its up-right standing position.
Action Grip Height Adjust, Power Lift Height Adjust, Rapid-Cam Height Adjust Models
Grip the handle located in the back of the basketball goal system.
Push up to lower the height of the rim.
Let down to raise the height of the rim. Although these systems all work in the same fashion, they differ in the location and shape of the grip handle and the spring technology used to let the hoop up and down. The Rapid-Cam and Power-Lift adjustment hoops can move inch by inch from 7 1/2 to 10 feet. The Action-Grip Height adjustment hoops move in 6-inch increments from 7 1/2 to 10 feet.
Quick Adjust Hoops
Locate the front crossbar behind the backboard and using a broomhandle push on the crossbar to get the hoop to desired height. There will be a clicking sound to indicate a new height level has been reached. These hoops increase by 6 inches from 7 1/2 to 10 feet.
Push on the crossbar with a broom handle to lower the hoop, but not far enough to hear the clicking sound.
Ease the hoop down gently by keeping steady pressure on the crossbar.
Tips & Warnings
- Verify what style adjustment your hoop uses to correctly adjust the rim height.
- Adults should adjust telescoping height adjust hoops to avoid potential risk or injury to children.

Chongqing Arrival and Departure:
Transport to and From Chongqing
By Air – Flying to Chongqing
Unless you're coming from Chengdu, you're probably best off entering Chongqing by air. The hilly terrain around the city makes road or rail travel a drawn-out process to pretty much anywhere besides the Sichuan capital.
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (重庆江北国际机场)
Located 21km north-east of the Chongqing city center, Jiangbei Airport was the 10th busiest airport in China in 2007. While it's not China's best, it is reasonably modern and fairly efficient – though passengers can expect some queues for security checks. The airport features the usual overpriced restaurants and there are several ATMs around the terminal. As a hub for both Air China and Sichuan Airlines, Chongqing Airport is linked to all major domestic destinations and also has international flights to Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok and Singapore.
Chongqing Jiangbei Airport's Website (Chinese only): www.cqa.cn
Transport to and from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport
By Bus: A bus from Jiangbei Airport to the city center leaves every 30 minutes from 6am until 8:20pm. The journey takes about 30 minutes. The terminus is the Civil Aviation Ticket Office at #161 Zhongshan San Lu. From here it's about ¥10 or less in a taxi to the Liberation Monument area. Buses to the airport run from the Civil Aviation Office 'according to the flight schedule' which roughly works out as once every half hour between 6am and 6pm. The fare is ¥15 in either direction. You will spot the airport bus immediately outside arrivals.
By Taxi: There is a reasonably orderly taxi queue at the airport. There are also a few touts around who will hassle you – ignore them. Taxis in Chongqing are very cheap, so a ride to the center shouldn't cost more than ¥50 on the meter. However, many drivers will refuse to take you on the meter so you might have to negotiate a slightly higher price (¥60 or so to the Jiefangbei area).
Transport to Chongqing By Train
Chongqing's Main Train Station (重庆火车站) is the most central of the city's stations, located west of the Jiefangbei area – around a ¥10 fare in a taxi – on Nanqu Lu, not far north of the Yangtze River. It is also known as Caiyuanba Railway Station. The T9 from Beijing arrives here.
Chongqing's North Train Station [火车北站(江北)] is more distant, located north of the Jialing River in the Jiangbei district. It costs about ¥20 in a taxi from the Jiefangbei area to get there. The first phase of this modern station was completed in late 2006. When the second phase is completed its modernity will be matched by its size.
The bullet trains to and from Chengdu arrive/depart from Chongqing North Railway Station. Note that there are two entrances – one for the high-speed trains and one for the regular trains. Check the signs above the entrances for your train number. The waiting rooms are generally hot and crowded so there's no need to get in too early.
There is a third station out in the western Shapingba District of Chongqing, but it is unlikely you will depart from there. While there are claims that there is some sort of order or common sense as to which trains leave from which stations, in reality there isn't. Just be sure to check your ticket.
There are eleven high-speed ('D' class) trains from Chongqing North Railway Station to Chengdu each day. The first leaves at 8am and the last departs at 9pm. The journey takes just over 2 hours and costs ¥114/¥98 for 1st/2nd class. There's also one daily high-speed ('D' class) train per day to Beijing, departing at 4:15pm and arriving at 7:25am, as well as a slower but comfortable ('T' class) train to Beijing which takes just over 24 hours. Other destinations include Guiyang (11 hours); Shanghai (14.5 hours) via Nanjing (13 hours); Guangzhou (20 hours); Kunming (19 hours); Lhasa (46 hours), via Xian (11 hours) and Lanzhou (17.5 hours); and Urumqi (46 hours).
Buying Train Tickets in Chongqing: The queues at the main train station are bearable, but there is no English spoken. A better option is to use one of the little train ticket booking offices in the city center. There's a particularly convenient outlet (pictured right) at #139 Zourong Lu (1/F of Yinzuo Plaza) not far from the Liberation Monument (open 8am-8pm). They charge a ¥5 booking fee. Alternatively, your hotel can arrange tickets – generally the booking fee will start from ¥30.
Transport to Chongqing By Bus
Chongqing has numerous bus stations, with many of them servicing the same destinations. So your best bet is to head to the biggest one, conveniently located right next to the train station. The Caiyuanba Long-Distance Bus Station (菜园坝长途车站) has regular buses to Chengdu (around ¥100), Emei and Leshan in Sichuan Province, and painful routes to Guiyang, Guangzhou and Kunming for the masochistic. Buses to Dazu County also leave from here.
Taking a Cruise Boat from Chongqing
Since Chongqing is most popular with tourists as the starting point for the Three Gorges cruise, naturally many people will leave Chongqing by boat. Most cruises will terminate in either Wuhan or Yichang and usually take three nights and at least two full days. Alternatively, it is possible to take a hydrofoil along the Yangtze River which will speed you to Yichang in about 12 hours. These boats aren't designed for sightseeing, but if you're short on time (or money) then it's the way to go. Boats leave from the Chaotianmen Docks and tickets can be purchased from travel agents near Chaotianmen Square above the docks. See the Three Gorges Cruise page for more information.

Chapter 9: A Little Nyghtmare
"All right, you three, Town Hall. Now."
Lock, Shock, and Barrel groaned. Their bathtub followed. At least Jack was nice enough to let them keep their candy---but only after they finished their punishment. The gate to the town went up as they arrived. The Gatekeeper shuddered as they passed, but looked relieved that Jack was with them. It was after midnight, so the festivities were over. The rest of the citizens were disappointed that their Pumpkin King had not been there this year, but they cheerfully celebrated anyway. After all, it was their favorite night of the year.
Lock, Shock, Barrel, and Jack kept moving until the reached Town Hall, to a frowning and very upset-looking Mayor.
"You're going to get it now!" he exclaimed.
"That's enough, Mayor," said Jack, leading the threesome inside. "I'm going to watch them and make sure they finish properly."
The Mayor's head immediately flipped around to his happy face. He grinned.
"Have fun, you three," he said, walking off with a spring in his step.
Lock, Shock, and Barrel looked up at Jack.
"You are going to finish cleaning Town Hall."
"...With toothbrushes?" asked Lock.
Jack smiled.
"I'm feeling wonderful tonight, so no."
Lock, Shock, and Barrel grinned and cheered.
The threesome froze.
"---Since you enjoyed taking the decorations, the three of you may take them down."
Lock, Shock, and Barrel's eyes went wide!
"You mean---" Barrel stared.
"Every decoration---" Shock continued.
"---In the whole town!" Lock exclaimed, finishing it.
They looked around. The citizens went all-out this year. Decorations literally were everywhere, from the rooftops to the streets, from town square to the gate, from Jack's tower to Dr. Finkelstein's laboratory on the far end of the town.
"Aww!" they whined.
"That's not all," said Jack. "You will also be helping around town. You can help the Mayor file paperwork. Without giving him any trouble. And then after that, you may help the witches reorganize their ingredients. Without mixing them around. And then..."
Jack continued on, naming citizens and tasks that they could do.
"Great," Shock whispered. "We won't be done until Christmas!"
"Yeah," Lock agreed. "But it was fun while it lasted!"
Barrel grinned.
"...And then after all that, you can help pull weeds in the cemetery..."
Lock, Shock, and Barrel sighed. It was going to be a long two months until Christmas.
Batman and Robin entered Arkham Asylum, marching the Scarecrow along. Some of the newer authorities stopped what they were doing to stare, the older, more experienced orderlies just shrugged. It was perfectly normal for Batman and Robin to bring in one of their higher-class rogues. The Scarecrow looked defeated and distraught. Batman brought him to two of the tougher-looking orderlies, then turned to go, planning now to find out what information Crane found on Kentworth. Jonathan, on the other hand, went with the orderlies without hesitation. They passed by several cells of the other inmates.
"Hi, Professor Crane!" Harley Quinn called from her cell.
"Good evening, Child," he replied softly.
Harley grinned. Not many of the other inmates greeted him as he passed, most of which did not respond because they were asleep. However, there were some who were still awake just past midnight. Poison Ivy casually tended to her rare roses, before she turned in for the night. Two Face flipped his coin out of boredom, unable to sleep. The Riddler was entertaining himself with a book of puzzles and Killer Croc had been sedated to the point where a herd of wild elephants could not wake him up. Even if Croc were awake, he would not have cared.
"I say, Jonathan. You didn't get to use those chips at all, didn't you?" came the Mad Hatter's soft English accented voice.
Jonathan shook his head, surprised that he, too, was still awake.
"Batman discovered the scheme and put a stop to it before I could get the Rejectz to attack at midnight."
"But I see you made an Alice."
He held up the Alyse doll. Jonathan nodded.
"A small token for the chips, Jervis. I thought you'd like it."
"But why is her head on backwards? Curiouser and curiouser."
Jonathan was unable to reply as the orderlies pushed him towards his cell. A loud, jolly voice rang out from the cell next to his. The Joker, no doubt.
"Did you have fun playing with dolls, Johnny-boy?" he asked, laughing.
Jonathan ignored him as the orderlies brought him to his cell---which, unfortunately, was right beside the Joker's.
"Never knew you played with toys," the Joker said with a grin. "I always thought you were just a boring old bookworm."
"Shut up," Jonathan muttered.
He sat on his bed and slumped against the wall. Perhaps if he made himself boring enough the Joker would leave him alone. Jonathan looked around, doubting it. The clown never left anyone alone if he could help it. He found The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on the little table beside his bed, right where he left it before his escape. He picked it up and pretended to read, in order to dissuade the Joker from bothering him.
"Still a boring old bookworm. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
'Shut up," Jonathan thought, knowing more than well not to say it aloud. Telling the Joker to shut up usually only made him more annoying. He would let those imbecilic guards do the idiotic thing of telling him to shut up. They always did, and they never learned.
"Shut up," said the guard next to the Joker's cell, right on cue, as though he read Jonathan's thoughts.
The Joker's attention immediately shifted away from Jonathan and towards the guard.
"Ex-cuse me!" the Joker exclaimed. "I'm trying to hold a decent conversation with the dear professor!"
"He ain't talking back, so shut up."
"And what if I don't want to?"
The guard did the entire A-Wing a favor, got a few cohorts, and went inside the Joker's cell to sedate him. Four of them held him down while one stuck a sedative into his neck.
"You all suck!" and a chorus of laughter were the last words anyone heard from the Joker before he fell asleep.
"Finally," Jonathan breathed. "Peace and quiet."
He watched as the guards did their rounds. It was lights-out at the asylum, which he was grateful for. Jonathan lied back on his bed. After making sure there were no guards near, he reached into his coat and pulled out the little Nyghtmare doll, the original inspiration for the scheme and his favorite out of all the Rejectz. He gently stroked her long, straight black hair and touched the doll's one bat wing.
"Such a perfect scheme...and you are all that I have left of it."
He took both of her tiny left hands into his, then sighed.
"One day, my dear. One day, this city will know the true meaning of fear and terror."
Jonathan smiled softly, holding the Nyghtmare doll in one hand, stroking her long black hair with the other. Her white face, piercing green glass eyes and black, expressionless lips stared back at him. He frowned, then glared at the wall.
"Especially the Batman."
(A/N: I am hoping you have all enjoyed this fanfic. It has been a while since I have written any fanfiction at all---and with The Nightmare Before Christmas characters at any rate.
VampireNaomi: I considered ending at the last chapter, but I am not like most authors. I felt this a far better conclusion.
Spaceman Spiff: Above average is always good. I think I read "Noboy Likes a Snitch" at one point...or skimmed through it...the title sounds familiar.
killinjoke: It is about time! Though short, it was nice to get a review from you. Thank you for the ending. Speaking of which...
A special thanks to killinjoke for the very end of this story. Pulling the Nyghtmare doll out at the end was her idea, ((not to mention a bit of an inside joke...)) and she must be credited.)

I've mentioned before that I'm a hard-core small-island girl when it comes to driving: any trip that lasts more than 30 minutes seems interminably long to me.
On Sunday, I had to stretch beyond my comfort zone and drive much more than 30 minutes to the homegoing service of the husband of one of my very dearest friends. No way would I not show up to support my ace in her hour of sorrow!
But to do so, I had to drive. Alone. Far. To a strange place.
Being the Mayor of Analville, I decided to prepare by printing directions from MapQuest, pulling up another set of directions on the iPad, and double confirming them on the GPS. I finally settled on using the GPS, mostly because Ms. G (my pet name for the GPS) will announce all upcoming turns during the trip.
So, I placed myself in the hands of Ms. G to get me to the funeral and back. I was fine while on familiar ground, but once I headed further north, I began to feel a little antsy.
- What if she sends me on a longer route than necessary?
- What if there are detours that weren't envisaged?
- What if…?
Of course, none of the "what ifs" manifested. I got there just in time, and I got home without drama.
I knew there was a lesson (or three) in this experience.
- Clearly, I have control issues (smile if you know me or feel me!);
- I deeply fear getting lost, especially if I'm on my own; and
- I distrust the GPS's ability to make good on her offer to direct me me from point A to point Z.
The more I thought about it, the more I recognized that I treat God much like I did the GPS. I show little faith in His ability to honor the promises in His Word to me. I try to wrestle control over my life from Him, even after agreeing time and again to submit to His will.
I often think of the Israelites' wilderness trip and God's provision of daily manna. "Manna" translates roughly into "what is it?" They weren't sure what it was, but it fed them and kept them going.
"He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever." Psalm 111:5
Much like depending on the GPS, we aren't fully sure of what's going on in our lives but, turn by turn, we get to where we're going through God's provision and protection–and in His timing!
How big is your God?

The "Best Of: Blue" Collection celebrates the many moods of our beloved blue.
In this collection spotlight, we explore artworks that were studied and selected to elevate a Mid-Century Modern space through their deeply entrenched connections to the influences that founded the style's era.
Defined as paintings or drawings of arrangements of object, the Still Life genre has a code of symbols that is fruitful and a history that is rich.
Recall your adventures, independence, friendships, and traditions with our curated exhibition of new original artworks, Summer Camp.
With gestural marks, geometric shapes, and striking colors, abstract artists capture the subtleties of human emotions.
Open Studios honors the rich and rebellious history of en plein air painting.
In art, whether written or visual, animals can exaggerate distinctly human characteristics, presenting examples that at some angle illuminate with reflections of the audience's hearts, minds, values, and experiences.
Blues has been used to set the mood of paintings. Artists draw upon blue's gentleness for clear skies, eggshells, and flower petals. Or, they plumb into its depths, darkening it into oceans, shadows and storm clouds.

Blood Mercy – Thicker Than Water
What would you do if the one you loved was turned into a monster?
Melrose Durante brings order. As founder of the Houses of the Dead, he tirelessly opposes the vampires, and provides refuge for the Blood Kind, those like himself who fight against the blood curse that leads to vampirism. His medical breakthroughs have brought many back from the vampire path. After thousands of years, the Blood Kind finally has the upper hand.
Until a vampire attacks Melrose's family, then begs for asylum. To his friends she's Lucy, a disturbed young woman prone to incoherent rants, warning of an imminent attack by vampire leader, Conan. But to Melrose she's something more.
His lost wife, Jane.
One thing is clear – time is running out. In five days Conan will attack Quebec City, killing or enslaving all in his way. If Melrose cannot unlock his wife's tormented mind, even his immortal wisdom may not be enough to save Quebec City, the Blood Kind, and the Houses of the Dead.

What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy helps alleviate the soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. If employed early enough after accidents involving trauma and injury, massage therapy can greatly reduce the development of painful muscular patterning.
Does Massage Therapy Hurt?
As with many treatments affecting the soft tissue, there are times when massage therapy can cause some light discomfort but it is not harmful. Discomfort usually diminishes and no technique of this nature is used without the therapist first discussing it with the client and obtaining your permission. A comfort scale will be established and the therapist will work to the client's tolerance level. The client can stop or change the treatment at any time and Massage therapists will modify their techniques to meet their client's needs.
Do I have to remove all my clothing for a Massage Therapy?
No. Your comfort as a client is of the utmost to all Registered Massage Therapists, whether that is in the context of the clothing you wear or the treatment you receive. Massage Therapists can provide important treatment whether you elect to remove any, some, or all of your clothing. All RMTs are trained in proper draping procedures to ensure that your privacy is completely respected at all times during treatment. Your comfort and ability to relax is paramount to effective treatment.
Registered Massage Therapists will also describe the treatments to be provided to ensure that you are comfortable with them. Your consent is sought before treatment is provided. If you are uncomfortable, your RMT wants you to let them know immediately, whether that discomfort involves the treatment, draping or any pain you may experience.
Be sure and discuss the most effective means of treatment with your Massage Therapist.
How often should I receive a Massage?
Some people believe that one treatment is enough; however, massage therapy is most beneficial in acute conditions when used over a series of treatments and then followed up with maintenance or preventive treatments.
Through mutual discussion, your Massage Therapist can help you establish a program which fits your physical needs and lifestyle. Your Massage Therapist is most interested in your recovery and in the maintenance of your health. Any recommendation for further treatment is being made by a qualified health professional and is made with your utmost care in mind.
How can Massage Therapy Help Me?
Massage therapy can be beneficial to people of all ages and conditions and is widely used to help obtain relief from many specific problems, including:
What Happens my first Visit?
On the first visit you will complete a confidential health history as part of your assessment. This is important as the Massage Therapist needs to know if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications. The Massage Therapist will listen to your concerns, assess your individual needs as well as other factors that may be contributing to your injury (lifestyle, nutritional status, etc.). The Massage Therapist will then develop a treatment plan with you to ensure you receive appropriate treatment that will help you return, as much as possible, to your normal activities.

On Thursday November 5th, Women's Xchange hosted our 5th event: Achieving Equity for Women: Are We There Yet? This event was hosted at the brand new Women's College Hospital and Pink Cube. Over 100 people were in attendance; the audience was a diverse mix of young and established professionals from a variety of sectors. Marilyn Emery, president and CEO of Women's College Hospital, gave an opening address while Dr. Paula Rochon was the master of ceremonies for the day. Jennifer Dockery, director of primary care and equity at Women's College Hospital, introduced the moderator of the afternoon's discussion: Jennifer Wells (Business Columnist, Toronto Star). Each of the four speakers had an opportunity to address the audience on equity for women in their sector before Jennifer Wells moderated a very engaging cross-discussion on strategies for increasing equity for women. Kim Stanton, Legal Director of the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund, discussed equity for women from a legal perspective focusing on historic and current issues for women. Amanda Alvaro, Founder and Managing Director of Narrative PR, addressed equity from the advertising sector with special focus on how equity for women has been changing from one generation to the next. Mary Lou Maher, Business Unit Leader, GTA Audit & Chief Inclusion Officer for KPMG, discussed equity for women in the business sector and shared strategies for increasing equity in this sector including mitigating unconscious biases. Dr. Danielle Martin, Vice President Medical Affairs and Health System Solutions for Women's College Hospital, addressed equity for women from the health care sector, explaining the ways in which equity significantly affects health. After the moderated discussion, the floor was open for audience questions and equity "pop ups" which gave audience members to share brief 1-minute updates with the rest of the room on their own equity initiatives.

Yep, 10 times a day they opt to log into the game because an army is done, a building has finished building or a similar event has happened - and while I do believe there actually are people who write down a Clash of Clans schedule to optimize their play, I wouldn't expect this from most players. So why do they 'remember' to log in ~10 times a day. You've guessed it. The game reminds them. Push Notifications are a brilliant and free marketing tool that surely will raise you're revenue significantly - if done right. But what is right and what is wrong?Most companies are not willing to show their marketing strategies which this very heavily falls under, but @David Hom linked me this article written a few months ago; PlayHaven's "Top 5 Push Notification Best Practices". Look it up, it is actually quite informative. Maybe even more than what you are about to read. But isn't everyone more interested in seeing people fail than read about how to win?
We learn from the mistakes of others right?
Too many Notifications
Dragon City creators, Social Point, recently released a similar type breeding game called Monster Legends, which is quiet popular. Here is one of the reasons why they only managed to breach the Top 60 Grossing in the U.S. once during its Lifetime.
Two Notifications every fourth hour, resulting in six notifications while I was asleep. The amount of notifications is one thing, it being the same two every fourth hour is another. There is very little effect in constant reminding the player that my food is ready to collect, it does not make for a higher retention of DAU.
Another thing about these notifications leads on to the second of the worst practices in push notifications.
Lying, Begging, Threatening.
The funny thing about the notifications above is that I had no eggs cracking. The game was lying to my face to get me back into the game. A terrible feeling of disappointment and despair when you slide open that game, and the reward promised to you by the video game is a lie.
Ofcourse I'm not one to hold a grudge against petite lies like these, so I do what most players would do. Never open the game again. Here we went from potential rise in revenue to lost costumer - and this would have happened many times if push notifications with an untrue content would annoy you every fourth hour.
The point is that the push notifications, like any other marketing tools need to show the company, in this case the game, in a positive light. Engagement is not evoked through pity or threat, much like you wouldn't respond well if e.g. a super market marketed itself through these means.
Monsters Legends is not the only example though. I won't go into too much detail, but rather let you decide if you think the following push notifications is Lying, Begging or Threatening.
All of the games mentioned here have at some point or are still very popular games, and among some of the heavy hitters when it comes to grossing apps. Obviously this means that failing your push notification won't mean no revenue - but think of a game that you've played where the push notifications really made sense. Were most of them event-based? Push notifications like 'Your Corn is Ready to be Harvested' or 'Your Troops are ready' are much more acceptable because they are generated through you, the player's, actions in the game. So focus on those. Nail the event-based and if possible stick to just that - and if you feel like you need more - don't just generate more push notifications - generate more events.
What is your experience with poorly managed Push Notifications? Comment below or hint me some must play games with horrible PN.
