$1 Million Settlement in MCSO Wrongful Death Suit
Pablo Iglesias
Maricopa County settled yet another wrongful death suit this week, paying almost $1 million to the family of Felix Torres, who died an excruciatingly painful death from ulcer-related complications in a county jail while detention officers refused to help him.
Michael Lacey wrote about the case last month for New Times, telling the story of a 47-year-old man who was stopped for a traffic violation on September 30, 2013 while riding his bike in Mesa, and ended up dead a week later.
After officers cited Torres for biking in the wrong direction, they discovered there was a warrant out his arrest for driving without a license and failing to appear in court, and found drug paraphernalia coated in meth residue in his possession. He was arrested and booked in jail.
Three days later he was taken to the County Medical Center for severe stomach pains. Doctors decided he had a hernia, and even though Torres told the doctors he had a history of ulcer problems, they gave him an injection of Toradol—a drug that's specifically not recommended for people with ulcers.
Unsurprisingly, Torres was in worse condition by the time he was brought back to jail, and spent the next few days crying, writhing in pain, and begging guards to help him or take him to the hospital. As Lacey writes, one witness remembers that "on the night Felix died, he asked for help from multiple detention officers. I distinctly remember Felix telling the detention officers that he was dying . . . One detention officer . . . cussed at Felix saying, '[You're] fucking faking it.'"
Another witness says "Felix was banging on his cell door and asking for help . . . A detention officer came by and said something like, ' I'm not going to deal with this. You're bullshitting . . . Stop that racket and go to sleep.'"
At 11 p.m. on October 5, Torres was discovered dead in his jail cell.
Torres' mother, Guadalupe Torres, filed a $3.5 million wrongful death claim against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other county agencies in April 2014, and the county just reached a settlement this week.
The Torres family will receive $950,000. (Michael Manning, Guadalupe's lawyer, could not be reached for comment on the settlement process.)
Since 1992, when Arpaio first became sheriff, Maricopa County has paid tens of millions of dollars in wrongful death settlements or other claims—not to mention the millions being spent to fight Melendres, the racial profiling suit brought by the ACLU—meaning that this latest settlement represents just one more taxpayer subsidized payout for the brutal and deadly conditions of the MCSO jail system.

I've haven't seen season 6 yet, so no spoilers.
I believe Richard HAS to be in the Black Rock, mainly because of his unknown age. There has been many assumptions about this, but I've notice something that no one has posted yet (or what Ive seen)
Here is goes, In the episode " The Constant ", Desmond goes to find Widmore. He presented as the winner of an auction. The auction was the journal of the first mate of the Black Rock.
In season 5 "The Incident", Ilana asks for "Richardus", Richard tells her "Actually it's Richard" and asks him about "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" I believe she received that name from the Journal.
Jacob told her to see "Richardus".
After reading this again, I think i'm wrong =P But if anyone wants to add on to this theory, feel free =)

Mumbai, who won the toss and elected to bat, were all out for 169. The team had a disastrous start when it lost both the openers Vinayak Mane (0) and Wasim Jaffer (7).
Mane was caught by Vimal Joshi off Irfan Pathan when he tried to nudge the ball, while Jaffar was trapped leg before by Pathan.
Barring Vinayak Samant who managed to score 49 and Vineet Indulkar who made 32, the performance of other Mumbai batsmen were dismal.
They meekly caved in to the fiery bowling by Irfan and Yusuf who both took three wickets each. Sankalp Vora took two wickets.
Though Baroda lost opener Connor Williams (0) when he was trapped leg before by Rahul Thakur, the other opener Parab salvaged the situation by notching up 79 runs.
Parab's score was studded with eight hits to the fence while Martin's 52 runs contained two boundries and a six.
Today's win gave Baroda five points.

Health top-up plan, it might be a new term for many people, but the one who is aware of it knows its importance and benefits very well. Basically a health top-up plan is a type of additional coverage for those people who already have a health insurance policy. It enhances sum insured amount at a reasonable premium. It improves your existing health insurance policy by providing additional health coverage. A Top-up cover is delivered once the deductible in the existing policy is worn-out. It is not compulsory to have a health insurance plan to buy top-up plan, but it is advisable to take a health insurance plan before choosing any top-up plan. PolicyX.com assists you in choosing the best health top-up plan. Health top-up plan is the best way to improve the sum insured amount at an affordable premium. Buying health top-up plan provides additional coverage to those people who think that their existing health insurance plan is not sufficient for the medical emergencies.
The difference between the health insurance plan and top-up plan is the deductible amount. The policyholders have to choose the deductible amount at the time of buying the top-up plan. Higher the deductible amount lesser will be the premium. You can use your base health insurance and top-up plan for a single hospitalization but the condition is to meet the threshold limits of the plan. You can buy the top-up and the health insurance plan from two different companies, but it is advisable to buy the same from a single insurer as it will save you money and time as well.
The only difference between a normal health insurance plan and top-up plan is the deductible. The higher the deductible, the lesser will be premium amount. There is a condition to use top-up plan, that is if your hospital bills cross the deductible limit during the hospitalization only at that time you can use the top-up plan. You must check deductible criteria for pre-existing disease, single illness, pre & post hospitalization. There are two types of top-up plan, namely basic top-up plan and floater top-up plan. You must choose according to your requirement.
Basic top-up plans covers only single incidence hospitalization, whereas in the floater top-up plan, the benefits are customizable. The floater top-up plan generally covers pre-existing disease from the first day and the rest depends upon the selected insurer.
In India, more than 80% of the insurer are offering basic top-up plan.
The top-up plan is important as it provides additional coverage over existing health insurance policy. A base health insurance plan will pay the medical bills up-to the definite sum insured, but a top-up plan will assist you by covering the medical bills after a definite threshold limit. It is a cost-effective way to improve your existing health insurance policy. See, it is really a good thing that you have a health insurance policy, but to be frank what will you do if your base health insurance plan fails to meet your requirements during hospitalization, from where you will arrange the rest of the amount? In that case a top-up plan would be able to assist you completely. It will pay for your expenses during hospitalization, when your existing health insurance policy got exhausted. All the benefits of the top-up plan are the same as in the normal health insurance policy.
Pay the medical bills when your existing policy or deductible limits is worn-out.
It also provides the tax benefit under section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Take care of the rising medical costs.
If you are buying the health top-up plan from the same insurer from which you have bought the normal health insurance policy, then there is no need to provide documents again but if you are buying from a different insurer then you need to have:

Accuracy describes a weapon's ability to land shots close to where it's aimed, and how close to its reticule will multiple shots land over a given period of time. While some weapons—including full-automatic weapons—are capable of landing shots directly onto the center of their aiming reticule upon their first shot, a weapon's accuracy value determines the chance of these shots spreading away from the reticule: the lower the accuracy, the higher the chance of the shot straying off the reticule. Consequently, accuracy determines the weapon's shot deviation over multiple shots in a given period of time: a high accuracy weapon will see multiple successive shots land close to one another, while a low accuracy weapon will see the same shots spread out further apart in different directions.
The highest possible accuracy value attainable in-game is 100, with lower values denoting reduced accuracy.
Effects on PerformanceModifier
A weapon's accuracy value generally becomes important the higher its rate of fire becomes, as the weapon's successive shot grouping worsens the faster it fires. For example, while the Vulkar has a lower listed accuracy value (13.3) to the Grakata (28.6), the Vulkar can consistently land each one of its shots at longer range due to its low firing speed, while the Grakata's high fire rate makes its shots spray out at longer ranges. However, a Grakata is capable of landing shots as precisely as the Vulkar if slowly fired one shot at a time. In general, a weapon's listed accuracy value is more important for weapon groups with high fire rates, like assault rifles and machine pistols, while less important for slow-firing weapons like bows or sniper rifles.
Accuracy also affects multishot characteristics. The lower the weapon's accuracy, the more likely each projectile will be off-center. Equipping mods that decrease accuracy can make weapons with low projectile velocity, like the Torid, very difficult to use at distance.
Certain weapons like the Flux Rifle possess perfect accuracy (an accuracy value of 100) where all of their shots land directly on the reticule regardless of range or fire rate, while other weapons like the Ignis disregard accuracy as a mechanic due to their unique firing characteristics, capable of hitting enemies regardless of how they're aimed.
The term spread is used to describe how "wide" the blast of a shotgun can be. Spread is not fundamentally different from accuracy, however. As above, bullets fired from single-round weapons will angle away from the direct center of the reticule, and the accuracy value of a weapon reflects how wide that angle can be. As one rapidly fires more bullets from that weapon, assuming imperfect accuracy, the bullets take random paths from the muzzle within a cone centered around the reticule.
Shotguns, as well as any guns with multishot mods, can fire one of their pellets directly centered, with all other pellets taking random trajectories from the muzzle within the spread cone. Reducing accuracy increases the width of the cone, and decreasing spread decreases the width of the cone. Accuracy and spread are inverse descriptions of the same underlying mechanic.
Accuracy ModsModifier
While several mods can improve weapon recoil, weapon accuracy generally cannot be improved beyond its base amount. The sole exclusion is Tainted Shell, which reduces the spread of shotgun pellets. Otherwise, accuracy can only decrease through mods: for example, Heavy Caliber increases the damage of rifles while reducing accuracy, and Magnum Force does the same for secondary weapons.
Shotguns are often intentionally exploited for their wide spread, however, to reduce the need to aim with precision or to strike more targets simultaneously. As a result, players frequently find it desirable to increase the spread of their shotguns with Vicious Spread.
Accuracy and RecoilModifier
Unlike spread, recoil is wholly a separate mechanic, but it can also alter how accurately the player can shoot, as it nudges the weapon's reticule with each shot. As such, a weapon with high accuracy but high recoil may still be difficult to shoot accurately at high rates of fire (the Cestra being one such example). To distinguish the two, accuracy is about how far from the reticule the weapon might shoot its projectile, but recoil is the amount the reticule moves after the weapon is fired.
Enemy AccuracyModifier
Enemies determine their total accuracy with an "AimGraph". The graph explicitly maps the target range and enemy unit's accuracy in a cartesian manner and translates the data into hit probability. Each enemy weapon is assigned into different AimGraphs, with each weapons type possessing different Aimgraphs depending on their role. For example, enemies aiming with a pistol are far more accurate up close, and the hit chance drops off as the target range increases. On the other hand, units with a sniper rifle are far less accurate up close, but get more accurate at medium and long ranges before dropping off slowly. Additionally, when enemies are made aware of the players, they will need to require some time to maximize their aim.

Reports: set date to dd/mm/yyyy formatAsked by Ian75 on September 21, 2014 at 01:56 PM
Is there a way to generate reports that use the usual dd/mm/yyyy format, as used by 90% of the world? I don't see any way of doing this.
Are you referring to the Excel reports?
If so there is an easy way to change the format to the format of your choice, such as dd/mm/yyyy, but not before any submissions are received, but instead once you download it.
To do that you should open the report and select the column of your choice (the one that holds the date values) and change the format.
I will show you how to change the format in Libre Office and in Google Spreadsheet.
Google Spreadsheets
Libre Calc
If you are using OpenOffice or MS Office Spreadsheet the functionality and the location where you can apply these changes is quite similar to the above.
Do let us know if you need any further assistance with this.
Best Regards,
Thanks for your quick and helpful answer Ben. I have integrated my Jotform with Google Sheets. I did as you suggested to change the date. The problem is that every time Jotform updates Google Sheets, it changes it back to mm/dd/yyyy. Is it possible to set Jotform itself to dd/mm/yyyy?
As far as I know the custom date in google spreadsheets should stick and take over.
Can you try generating a new spreadsheet and reapplying it to see if it will work after that?
I'm having a similar problem, however when my customer inputs "numbers" and submits the form, jotform changes it to date instead of just saving as "number".

Family & Community
Family & Community
Sather's: Part of the Community
The Sather family believes not only in being in the community, but part of the community as well.
"We have always believed in the community where we live. Growing up, everything that we bought, from grills to washing machines to cars, was bought in our community. My father never permitted us to buy outside the community. He saw the whole picture, — the real vision of a community. He knew by shopping locally, we were supporting our neighbors and friends. It supported our schools, police, fire protection etc. His vision reached beyond the next dollar earned. To this day, I shop where I live and work. It is one of the many wise lessons he taught me about loving your customers in a notso- obvious way."
– Julie Sather
The Sathers take an active part in events and charities throughout the area, supporting the schools, rodeos, charities such as the Lydia Dody Hope Lives Foundation, the Namaqua Center, the Poudre Valley Hospital Foundation, Fort Collins Junior League and many others.
Julie Sather designs and donates the crowns for the Larimer County Fair and Rodeo Royalty.
"The royalty have been such a pleasure to get to know each year. I have managed to recruit the 2005-2006 Queen to work for me. Now that we have a free standing location, we hoped to get more involved with the 4-H and Royalty programs by having community events for children on the days leading up to the Fair and Rodeo each year,"
– Julie Sather
Along with the Larimer County crowns, Sather's also designs and donates crowns for all Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and Berthoud Homecomings. They also participate in educational seminars and career days for the high schools in Fort Collins and Loveland.
Their community participation even reaches the beasts on the ground and birds in the sky with the Humane Society and the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program.
"We are heavily involved in the Fort Collins area. It is staggering, the amount of the different programs and charities that we participate in on a regular basis. These are our customers, people that we consider part of our family."

Welcome Back! A year of research under my belt, and I'm back to answer some more GRE questions. Here's today's:
An infectious agent that appears to have no nucleic acid is a:
A) bacterium
B) bacteriophage
C) viroid
D) virus
E) prion
This is one of those basic fact-knowledge questions, although even if you don't know the exact properties of everything on this list, you may be able to figure it out. So let's get into what the question is asking.
What exactly is an infectious agent? An infectious agent is some sort of organism (we can debate whether a virus is a true organism later…) that invades another organism to utilize the host's resources to some end. Pop culture types call these things "germs," which is a term that encompasses anything that makes humans feel bad in some way.
Scientists have the annoying ability to break up these germs into like groups that act and infect in a particular way, which usually involves the anatomy, physiology and phylogeny of the organism. This question is basically testing your knowledge of microbial anatomy.
On to the second part of the question. What is nucleic acid? This is the "NA" portion of DNA or RNA. The D and R simply refer to the sugar groups attached to the nucleic acid. Most organisms have some sort of nucleic acid (either DNA, RNA or both) that they use to reproduce. After all, DNA is the blueprint for life. I say "most organisms" because as we get better and better at finding things, we're noticing an exception to this rule. More on that in a moment.
Alright, so now that we know what the question is asking, how do answer it? This is simply a fact question, so you need to know a little bit about these organisms. Let's start with bacteria.
Bacteria are single celled organisms that have a cell wall and the ability to live free. Most people know about bacteria after a trip to the doctor and a filled prescription for antibiotics. The main thing you need to know, though, is these organisms reproduce by DNA, and therefore have nucleic acid.
Viruses are also single celled organisms (although here is where every biologist begins the "what is an organism?" debate) that is rather simple–they consist of some proteins and DNA or RNA. In order to do any biological process, they must invade a host cell and take over the cell's functions. So, while simple, these still have nucleic acid, else they wouldn't be able to take cells hostage.
Bacteriophages are much like viruses–in fact, they are a form of virus that infects specifically bacteria (hence the "bacterio" portion of the name). Just like other viruses, these are made of protein and DNA or RNA, and they take over a cell's function inorder to reproduce. Did you catch that? They have nucleic acid.
Viroids are along the same line, and just like the name suggests, are a lot like viruses. These are specifically plant pathogens, consisting of circular RNA and protein. Once again, an organism with nucleic acid.
That leaves prions. This is one of those things I alluded to earlier–a new form of what may be an organsim or may not, that causes infection. A prion is misfolded protein that is able to act as an infectious agent. That's pretty much all we know about it now. We don't know how it reproduces (because it doesn't have DNA or RNA!) nor do we know how it forms. There has been a lot of researhch into prions lately, as people are beginning to think these buggers are responsible for a variety of nasty diseases. The biggest problem is because we have so little knowledge about the prion, we don't know how exactly they are spread, or how to stop them. Ah, the mysteries of medicine.
So our answer is D, prions.

In 2014, Monty Nero's sex-and-superpowers graphic novel Death Sentence shocked and entertained in equal measure. Set in a world in which the sexually transmitted G+ virus gives superpowers to those it infects, but also limits their lifespan to six months, it followed struggling musician Weasel and frustrated artist Verity as they sought meaning to their lives in the face of a very imminent death sentence. It also pitted them against David Montgomery, a Russell Brand-esque egotistic comedian who'd used his G+ powers to make himself king.
The sequel, London, begins where Death Sentence left off, in a city torn into chaos by Montgomery's massacre, and follows a variety of characters. Verity, having barely survived the battle, is on the run from various groups who are after her powers. Weasel is taking advantage of his newfound heroic standing, while coping with his son's death via sex, drugs and rock & roll. Drug dealer Roots is using her plant-manipulating powers to monopolise the cannabis market. FBI agent Jeb is balancing a secret mission and a collapsing family life. And London mayor Tony Bronson (who's clearly Boris, but too prominent a character for Nero to get away with saying so) is fed up of all this riff-raff.
Nero's writing has a distinctly anarchic tone, with the story motivated by anger against the establishment. The government left grasping for control are pompous and selfish, while the chaos that breaks out in London is a clear mirror of the 2011 riots, sparked by an act of police brutality which feels all too familiar. Nero sympathises with these dissidents, even quoting directly from one of the real 2011 protestors at one point, while being careful to criticise those who turn political protests into mindless violence.
Artist Martin Simmonds, picking up from Mike Dowling's work on the first volume, reflects this tone in his work, filling each panel with increasingly chaotic dynamism while nevertheless keeping it easy to follow and giving each character a distinctive look.
If there's anything to criticise, it's that the story doesn't have as neat a structure as the first volume, flipping between many settings in a way that mitigates the sense of escalating tension. Some characters only appear in order to set up plots for volume three, meaning it's less of an overall satisfying story. And there isn't a moment quite as powerfully shocking as volume one's scene of Montgomery taking over Buckingham Palace – though the not-Boris Johnson sex-and-angry-plants scene comes close.
From one of the most striking new voices in British comics, Death Sentence is a sharp satire with a punk rock spirit. This second volume may not be as satisfying as the first, but it's a fine continuation of the unique and unputdownable series.

Getting silly for sure, since the beginning. I think people should stop acting passionately as if someone was trying to get their arches removed from Debian and think a little bit. We're trying to get our release process sane and that's all. Do we really need a full release arch to support someone using a very small subset of packages on a tar-installed not-PC-style machine targeted at whatever market? Can't we just decide that "this port is useful for these uses but it makes no sense to bother the release team and increase the complexity of the release process; the porters are in the best position to decide and implement whatever 'release' they think is possible and useful"? Now, stop thinking of this discussion as 'we have to support someone wanting to install Debian on a matchbox and we need an official release for that' or as 'someone is trying to remove my arch from Debian'.

Brutally Honest
It was an appointment full of some of the most difficult conversations we have had so far in Nathan's life...full of words and information that I still trying to mull around in my brain and process. This appointment with his main mitochondrial disease doctor was just one of the 4 difficult appointments we had in Houston this past week.
We are extremely guilty of maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative when it comes to Nathan's health...maybe to a fault sometimes. If anyone ever asks me the quintessential question "How is Nate doing?", my answer will almost always be "He's doing well". Sometimes, that is an accurate assessment, but more often than not, there are several negative undertones regarding his health running through my mind when I answer that question. But for the most part, Nathan usually looks good on the outside, so it is rather easy to answer "he's doing well."
So it may be somewhat of a surprise to tell you that he isn't doing as well as I portray. Looks can sometimes be deceiving.
For about 7 months now, we have been a little concerned about some changes in Nate's health...particularly his respiratory symptoms. He has been exhibiting some very unusual breathing patterns and issues over the past several months that have had us perplexed and scratching our heads. We have been very accustomed to the little guy's strange breathing issues all his life, and even these new issues have concerned us a bit. After getting a few of these episodes on video so his doctors can see what we are seeing at times, our home pulmo asked us to send the videos to Houston to see if they had any input...
To describe what is happening with the little guy...there are times where he tries so hard to breathe, often throwing his head backwards to seemingly open up his airway, and breathing deeply through his nose and complaining that he can't breathe. Those episodes are tough to watch, as it is so apparent that he is trying everything he can to get a deep breath. This is a transient problem that happens when he is on or off oxygen, but usually when he is fatigued. We have tried medications, extra oxygen, making him rest or lay down...everything we can during these episodes to help him get a deep breath, and he still gets anxious about not being able to breathe deeply. This is what the doctors in Houston have diagnosed as "air hunger".
Recent videos of Nate's breathing can be found here and here.
The other respiratory aspect we are dealing with is that Nathan is retracting from every part of his chest often these days (intercostally, subcostally, neck, etc). Something that used to only happen when he had been off his oxygen for a good amount of time has change lately. If he is even walking around with his oxygen off some of the time (and periodically when it IS on), he is retracting...and when he is active, he is often retracting badly. It is sometimes painful to watch as he moves his body in every way he can to catch his breath sometimes. This type of struggling is often covered by his shirt, but we have become aware over the past few months that these struggles have increased a bit.
Even though we were on heightened alert in Nathan's health regarding the recent changes, I severely underestimated the reaction of his mitochondrial doctors..
2 of our doctors are pretty insistent that it is time that we start a new treatment called non-invasive open ventilation (NIOV) to help expand Nate's lungs. This is a new form of non-invasive ventilation, and it isn't usually used in pediatrics. At UT Physicians, they have gotten this treatment approved for 2 of their pediatric patients a bit older than Nate (with lung disease, not with mito), and it has worked well for them. Both our mito pulmonologist and head mito doc thought Nate would be a very good candidate for this treatment.
In order to help prove that Nate may need this equipment, his doctors are requesting cardiopulmonary exercise testing done on the little guy. This is strenuous test that will help show everyone whether his respiratory issues are metabolic (what they think), lung, cardiac, or neuromuscular related. The current theory is that his breathing issues are due to the fact that his threshold for anaerobic metabolism is extremely low.
Based off clinical symptoms, labs, and the biopsy, Nathan's mitochondrial doctor has always thought that he suffered from a mitochondrial depletion syndrome. She was somewhat interested to learn that he has a mutation on the SUCLG1 gene on his whole exome sequencing. This is a novel mutation that is known to cause mitochondral depletion syndrome. Nate only has one mutation on this gene, so she ordered a CMA to test for deletions on the other allele of this gene and is calling Baylor to check for more information on this gene (particularly, the proteins involved in controlling mitochondrial function).
His cardiology appointment in Houston gave some more info. His doctor was concerned about his blood pressure and heart rate when active. Nate also had an arrhythmia during the appointment...something we have recorded in the past, but only when his body was stressed. The hole in his heart was clearly evident in his echo, and we are continuing to keep a close eye on it to see if it may need closing in the future.
All in all, the appointment aspect of the past week has been emotionally taxing. It has truly been a very difficult few days full of tough conversations. That aspect has been harder than I can ever explain in words. But on the flip side of that, we had MANY positive encounters with friends and family and amazing memories that I hope to expound on at a later time. And his mito doc said that she still approved for my little man to start public school next month, which is what we are all so excited about!!
So as I lay here in a hotel room, I look at an empty bed to the left of me. My precious little boy...who is all boy and likes to shoot guns and pretend that he is Luigi in Mario Brothers and laughs when someone says "poop" and can make a pencil look like a sword slaying whatever villain he encounters and always reprimands me if I say "little" in regards to him...my sweet baby boy wants to sleep right next to me every night that he can during these trips out west, and I savor those moments.
I love him. He's my baby boy.

Oh, Amber! What a lot of digest. I hope that whatever Nate needs after all the testing is said and done will be easy to get approved and will help him a lot. That first video of him trying to breathe just broke my heart! I can't imagine how you all must feel watching him struggle so. Big hugs!

Dearest Amber, many prayers are being offered and many tears are being shed for you and your family and for little Nathan, just like I did when he was a tiny baby and his immediate future was so uncertain. I can only imagine the anxiety you are experiencing right now. I know that our God is able, and I pray that He will reveal some positive solutions for Nate's condition. I hurt for you and Jay, for Abby and for Emma, and for Nathan. My sincerest prayers are with you all.
Much love,
A. Geraldine

Oh dear friend...You never cease to amaze me! Your honesty in regard's to Nate's health and your proactive work in making people aware of mitochondrial disease is applaudable. I pray God be with Nate and all of you as you continue on this journey. I cannot even fathom the depths of emotions you must be feeling, but I trust that our Heavenly Father can and that he has all of you in the palm of His hand. Love you and praying for you, Nate, and your family! Nurse Tracie

Praying for insurance approvals and Drs wisdom to help your sweet "big" boy.
- Amanda on July 11, 2013 at 3:15 PM said...
It sounds like much of what you already were thinking came to open discussion about respiratory concerns and such on this trip. Hopefully the good that comes from that is more hope and fuel to continue the proactive approach you always take with each hurdle. I love you all so much! You know we feel the weight of these worries with you and send them on to God in our prayers always. Sammy asked me to send his "Big" buddy Nate a soldier's salute (his new fav maneuver)for Nate's continued bravery. Soldier on , dear Amber.. sending e-hugs till we can catch up in person.

Dear Amber,
Lori and I lost our little 8 year old David in October. We met you Sunday at Oak Hill. I saw him on O2 and came over and talked to Nathan. He is such a sweet little boy. You chided him for touching my suit coat but I assured you it was OK....he is just curious. :)
After meeting him I had to go outside and be alone...the memories are still raw with what we went through with our son. I admire you for your fortitude and your honesty. It took awhile for me to be honest with how I felt but I found that when I became honest and told people I was having a rotten day, I was sad, I was struggling with being angry at God...when I wrote about it God reached down and sent help from unlikely places. Reading your blog is extrememly painful to me because I know exactly what you are going through. Our son had a long protracted history in the hospitals with heart and breathing problems.
I will tell you that we recieved much comfort from knowing the passage of Ecclesiates 3. To everything there is a season...God is, has been and always will be in total control of your son. Nothing will happen to him that hasnt been planned from the beginning. Nathan is in Gods hands to do as He wills to be done.
I KNOW you love your little boy. Never let him think otherwise and cherish every moment you have with him. It is Gods gift to you.
Love and Prayers,
Mike Croft

Amber - my heart breaks for you. I am literally sitting here crying and not being able to fathom what you and your family are going through. If anything, Nate knows how much he is loved by everyone and his God. HUGS...

Amber, I always find so much wisdom in your words. Your love of God and for your family shine through and remind me that my place is where God has led me and keeps me. I will pray for you and Nathan and your family. You are an amazing mom, with amazing strength. Hugs to you during this difficult time.

It's been a while since I wrote an episode so I'll say this: everything written here is purely fan fiction.
This takes place right before episode 5. On the way to Usopp's hometown, lone 17-year old Kuja warrior, Monkey D. Flora, stops by at a seemingly deserted island that is covered entirely by forest.
Flora: this looks like a good place to rest. After all, my Yuda could use a break and I'm in no hurry to meet the Straw Hats' sniper.
Flora then enters the forest and her first encounter on the island is a rabbit/snake hybrid.
Flora: wow! It's a snake with rabbit ears! I had no idea such a creature exists!
More hybrid animals then appear one after another.
Flora: what are these? Each of them is like two different animals combined. Hmmmm, what should I do now? Maybe I should take some of them with me. At least I'll take the snake with rabbit ears. My mother and the other Kujas are going to flip when they see it.
Voice: Stop! Don't come any closer! Leave at once!
Flora: and who are you to tell me what to do?
Voice: I am the forest guardian! I am the mighty entity that watches over this island and all its inhabitants are under my protection! You are a trespasser here! Leave if you don't want to face the Forest Judgment!
Flora immediately dashes toward the spot where the voice was coming from.
Voice: Stop! Don't come this way!
Flora kicks the tree where the unseen person is hiding in. What comes falling down to the ground is a small man with a big afro and he's in a chest.
Gaimon: Damn you!
The man in the chest takes out a pair of pistols and aims them at Flora. Flora quickly draws her sword and slices the pistols in half. As the man prepares to run away, Flora grabs him by the afro.
Flora: a man in a chest? Could it be?
A woman in a barrel appears.
Sarfunkel: Wait! Stop! I'm begging you! Please don't hurt him!
Flora: What?! A woman in a barrel?!
Gaimon: [nervously] hey come on now. Let's not be hasty. Surely we can work something out.
Flora: tell me something. Is your name Gaimon?
Gaimon: h-how do you know my name?
Flora: you met a man known as Straw Hat Luffy, didn't you? He once came to this island, didn't he?
Gaimon: y-yes, that's true. So… how are you acquainted with Straw Hat?
Flora: perhaps you heard my name. I'm Flora.
Gaimon: sorry, I never heard of you before.
Flora: What?! No one told you about me yet!
Gaimon: I'm afraid not.
Flora: Straw Hat Luffy is my father.
Gaimon:……… HE'S YOUR FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This… this is totally surprising!!! I never knew he has a family!!!
Flora: my relationship with Straw Hat isn't public knowledge and I'm surprised that not all of my dad's friends knew about this.
Flora gets acquainted with Gaimon and Sarfunkel and has soup with them at a campfire.
Flora: so is it true. Are you really going to be stuck in that chest forever?
Gaimon: I'm afraid so. My body has become one with this chest a long time ago so it's impossible to pull me out now.
Flora: couldn't I just shatter the chest?
Gaimon: you might kill me!!!
Flora: and I suppose this woman is stuck in her barrel and can't get out.
Sarfunkel: that's right. Gaimon and I are in the same boat.
Flora: are you two fine just living like this? I mean getting cramped in there seems… uncomfortable.
Gaimon: no need to worry. We've gotten used to it and we're happy the way we are now.
Flora: if you have no complaints then I guess it's fine with me.
Gaimon: so Flora. Can I assume that you became a pirate and are now traveling the seas like your father?
Flora: It's true that I am traveling the seas, but only as an adventurer, not a pirate.
Gaimon: really? How come you chose not to become a pirate like your father?
Flora: Is there a rule saying that I need to be a pirate in order to have adventures? I have no interest in fame. All I want now is to explore the world.
Gaimon: do you by any chance have an interest in meeting the other Straw Hats?
Flora: oh that's right, finding them is also my main objective in this adventure. So far I only met one, Zoro the swordsman. I'll be seeing the rest of the crew soon enough, but the ones I'm looking forward to meeting the most are the reindeer doctor, the machine man, the musical skeleton, and the archeologist with strange powers.
Sarfunkel: so where is your home and how is your family?
Flora explains to Gaimon and Sarfunkel about her mother, Amazon Lily, and the Kuja tribe.
Flora: …as you can see, my family is a bit… complicated. It may be natural for fathers and mothers to live with their children in the outside world, but that's not the case for me. Because of the laws of Amazon Lily, my father is not allowed to live on the island even though he is permitted to set foot on it. But… I only met him once and that was when I was eight years old. After that day, he never returned.
Gaimon: I see. So what do you think of your father? He's a great man right? After he came here, he left me with fond memories.
Flora: yes, I do think he is a good man. During my only meeting with him, he looked at me, he smiled, and he played with me. And the main reason I left home is because I was intrigued by all the stories he told me. He did mention to me about a man in a chest who lives with strange animals, but he never told me about a woman in a barrel.
Gaimon: that's because he never met her. Sarfunkel came to this island way after your father. By the way, did your father give you that straw hat?
Flora: no, this isn't my father's straw hat. It's just another straw hat that his foster mother, Dadan, gave me.
Sarfunkel: tell us Flora, what was your parents' wedding like?
Flora: wedding? You mean like those ceremonies where a man and a woman say their vows and kiss. To be honest, Granny Nyon told me that mom and dad never had such a thing.
(note: ever since writing the very first episode of this fanfic series, I never explicitly said that Luffy and Hancock married. Though I do like the Luffy and Hancock pairing, I am not going to make Luffy too lovey-dovey with Hancock like Hancock has been with Luffy. There's no rule saying that a couple needs marriage before having children. After all, it was never said much about Roger and Rouge's relationship. It was never said if they were even married. The bottom line is that Roger and Rouge had Ace just like Luffy and Hancock have Flora in this fan fiction.)
Flora: Mom only assumes she's married to dad because they have me. While I can say for certain about how much mom loves dad, I'm not even sure about the extent of my dad's feelings for her. But what really matters is that dad made mom very happy and I had a chance to meet him at all and I had fun with him while it lasted. Compare to what I can say about my uncle, I guess I'm far better off. Perhaps you heard of him. He was called Fire Fist Ace and he was the son of the first pirate king, Gold Roger. Before meeting Zoro, I went to the island where dad and Ace grew up together and I spoke to the people whom they're well acquainted with including Garp and Dadan. From what I heard, uncle had it rough. His father died before he was born and his mother died right after his birth, all because of the old government. Because of Ace's relationship to Roger, the old government saw it fit to kill him even though he wasn't born yet.
Sarfunkel: that sounds horrible.
Flora: yeah, of course it's horrible. And it's completely unfair. Children can't decide who their parents are. It's too bad people back then apparently never thought about that. Ace's mother had to use her strength to delay Ace's birth just long enough to deceive the world of his connection to his father. Garp was kind enough to adopt Ace per Roger's request, but that did not make uncle's life any better since he had no parents to grow up with. Ever since he was a boy, he always hated his father. Almost everyone around him would just say terrible things about Roger, so it is understandable of how Ace felt being his son and all.
Gaimon: sounds like your uncle had a harsh life.
Flora: yeah, he sure did. It makes me appreciate the kind of life I have. Even if I don't have father, I still have my mother, my aunts, and Granny Nyon. And unlike my uncle, I never grew up with a reason to hate my father. I am not ashamed of my heritage and I gladly accept my father's surname. And I do not care if I meet anyone who hates him.
Gaimon: you sound very optimistic. I am very glad that you're pleased to have Straw Hat as your father.
Flora, Gaimon, and Sarfunkel then finish their meal.
Flora: I apologize for any trouble I might have caused earlier today. Since the animals mean a lot to you, I'll leave them alone. [takes one last look at the rabbit/snake hybrid]
Gaimon: you have my gratitude. You're really a nice person like your father.
Flora: although coming here wasn't exactly planned, it's a pleasure to meet another old acquaintance of my father.
Gaimon: Ha ha ha ha ha. You know, I really see a lot of your father in you. It makes me reminisce about that good day.
Flora then say goodbye to Gaimon and Sarfunkel and continue on with her adventure.

Video - New Man Utd and Liverpool kits get a contrasting reaction
Manchester United and Liverpool have launched their 3rd kits for the new season in the last few hours and the reaction has been contrasting.
While Liverpool's garish "toxic" green strip provoked as a less than positive reaction on social media, United's more classy white kit appeared to get a much better reception.
Liverpool midfielder James Milner was on hand at the launch of his club's new kit in America and he gave it a public thumbs up, but we cannot be sure whether he was entirely content with the new look.
Meanwhile, the publicity machine at United cranked into gear with a kit launch at 7am on Friday morning, with some of United's star names taking part in the publicity splurge.
Take a peek behind the scenes at the photoshoot for our new white third kit. Pre-order now: https://t.co/5yis0h4lif https://t.co/Pu5gLz6c7T— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 29, 2016
If Liverpool or United fans do not like their new third kits, they can be grateful that they are not fans of Norwich or Hearts, who recently unveiled these two shockers for the new campaign:

Aditi Rao Hydari recently had to make an appearance for one of her brands at a five-star hotel near an international airport. The actress who stays quite close to the venue found herself in a fix when she hit the road in a car. She realized that she won't be able to reach the place on time due to the unreasonable traffic caused by the untimely rains.
Instead of allowing the traffic to play a spoilsport, she let her quirky self out. As she didn't wish to keep the brand or media in waiting for her, the actress quicky hopped in to the metro from a nearby station to reach her destination.
Without caring about getting mobbed at a public place she, in her pretty designer dress, purchased a ticket & got into a train. Of course there were a lot of selfie moments with her fans on the way. But then she was pretty cool with it and didn't mind the extra effort needed to reach the venue on the scheduled time. However her driver reached the place by road much past Aditi's arrival.
We must say the girl truly impressed us with her sheer professionalism and dedication! Way to go Aditi!

New Freedoms Churn a Quiet Russian Village
By MICHAEL SPECTER
Published: August 14, 1995
KUSHALINO, Russia— Not many people would stand all night in a damp field with a shotgun for a companion. But this is the season of the potato thief in rural Russia, so Maria Petrovna is taking no chances.
After putting in a 16-hour day tending her animals (a cow, some chickens, a few pigs), baking bread, making cheese, culling the vegetable garden and chopping a little wood, the 68-year-old Mrs. Petrovina slips out of the three-room house she shares with the cattle and heads into the gathering darkness.
"This is our way of life," she said one recent evening as she piled her waistlong braids on top of her head and wrapped them in a scarf. "It has always been exactly the same. It's work, work, work till you die."
A bleak view perhaps, but then village life has always been regarded as the grim repository of the Russian soul. Timeless, squalid and -- to many outsiders -- strangely romantic, rural settlements are usually seen as the mystical essence of Russian society, the place where the "real" Russia shakes itself free of cities and politics.
But if this village of 750 people is any yardstick, the real Russia is getting awfully hard to find these days. The lure of urban life has never been more powerful, and the burdensome system that kept villagers tied to their land like serfs has finally died. Housing permits, work permits and transit permits are no longer required to escape a place like Kushalino. Now all you need is bus fare and some guts.
The results are impossible to ignore. This little town -- and thousands like it across Russia -- are struggling to cope with the new freedoms and survive. It is not just that times are tough; they always have been. Farmers have been hit hard by new economic policies. But that is not enough to destroy Kushalino or many of the 25,000 similarly sized villages in Russia. What is threatening this place is far more fearsome than an economic plan: it is the modern world.
There are telephones and televisions here now. In a town with fewer than a dozen private cars, newspapers are carrying advertisements for Italian shoes and Jeeps. People are beginning to have an inkling that there is a world beyond the muddy access road, and not everyone wishes it would go away. Children no longer plan on spending their lives in a house with their parents, as they had done for centuries. If young people can afford it, they live on their own. If they are ambitious, they catch the daily bus south to Tver, a city of 475,000, or even to Moscow. Most never look back.
In some ways, life here has hardly changed in the 400 years since the stone church was erected in the center of town. People rise at dawn, stoke their fires, drink a little tea and start worrying about the crops and the cattle. They have a lot to say about God, the weather and one another but almost no interest in words like "democracy," "Communism" and "freedom." In Kushalino, about four hours north of Moscow, "reform" mostly means that a new bunch of blowhards is in power. But here, and in many villages like it, the household, the basic fact of peasant Russia, is coming unglued.
"We are seeing so many families break apart," said Galina V. Birtrova, 47, the town's librarian. "I'm not arguing for the past. But we used to have everything guaranteed to us for a basic life and no prospects beyond that. Now the old are dying, and their children are leaving. Kids can do better. We still have the same problems we had a century ago -- no running water, no heat. We're lucky we have electricity. The kids see that. They know they can do better almost anywhere else. And they are right." The Villages Are Disappearing
Like so many towns of its kind across Russia, Kushalino is basically a glorified potato field. There are about 200 traditional wooden houses here, most of them just a couple of rooms divided by a raised corridor called a bridge. The people live on one side of the bridge, and the farm animals live on the other.
In 1960 there were 73,000 such villages in Russia, each with fewer than 1,000 residents. Today, according to the State Statistical Committee, there are about 24,000. Two-thirds of the villages have simply disappeared, many of them in the last five years.
The population of these towns, where in 1940 more than 60 percent of the residents were younger than 35, has changed dramatically. Last year more than half of the people were older than 65. Only 20 percent are 35 or younger. Numbers like those do not augur well for making a bunch of small farms work in the 21st century.
"Honestly, what can we offer people any more?" asks Valeri Preobrazhensky, the head of the city administration, who has fought off several attempts to remove the bust of Lenin in front of Town Hall. "We could keep young people in town if we still had the values that made these places like a family. But we don't. The spirit is gone. This is a beautiful village with clean air. You can live here for little money, and nobody bothers you. Even now. But for most people that's not enough anymore."
It takes only a few days of strolling along the picturesque dirt streets of the village to fully understand his point. It is mostly old women one sees drawing water from the wells that dot the town. Like Mrs. Petrovna, they are usually widows. Her husband died nine years ago, and her two sons have long since moved away, although one lives in Tver, an hour south, and often visits.

Black Diamond's Storm Headlamp is designed for wet conditions, so it won't let you down in the rain, it also has a great output at 160 Lumens.
Black Diamond says:
Equipped with a fully waterproof construction and an incredibly bright 160 lumens, the Black Diamond Storm is our powerful, all-conditions headlamp. Now featuring our PowerTap Technology, the Storm allows for quick, on-the-fly brightness adjustment with just a finger tap to the side of its touch-sensitive housing.
The Storm features a bright, precise beam for after-dark route-finding, as well as proximity, strobe, dimming and red night vision modes to accommodate any lighting needs. An intuitive lock mode also keeps the light from accidentally turning on when stored in your pack or pocket.
Awesome light capability without a separate battery pack - buy the Storm if you want a lot of light and are prepared to carry a bit extra weight for that performance. In addition you have the flexibility of using the two smaller LEDs to save battery life or the red LEDs to preserve night vision - you'd be suprised how useful the red light can be especially outside BST.

Given that the price of gold is at $1,400/oz, that implies silver hitting $100/oz even if the price of gold was to freeze at the current price. No one who understands this sector expects that to happen. Adjusted for real inflation, gold would have to rise to more than $7,000/oz just to equal its previous high in 1980 -- as calculated by John Williams of Shadowstats.com. This means that it is certainly not beyond the realm of possibility that silver could reach a four-digit number over time. Ordinary people need to protect themselves from the
monetary depravity of bankers, as they relentlessly drive the value of the paper currencies they foisted upon us to zero. This mandates that every person must protect their wealth with precious metals, or "go down" with the bankers (and our economies). However, thanks to those very same bankers, people can purchase their monetary insurance today and expect to make nice profits. Merry Christmas!

Money back: Dissatisfied with the quality of your course? From next week universities will be made to pay back students who have complaints about their courses upheld by a new independent watchdog. The Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education will be able to instruct universities to either allow the undergraduates to repeat their courses free of charge, or reimburse all or part of their fees. The watchdog is expected to handle 300 cases a year.
Jobmatch: The Guardian's website has launched a service that aims to match your skills with the employers who want them. In a nutshell, you register your profile with Jobmatch for Graduates, and it emails you vacancies which match your skills as soon as they hit the database. Registered users can also apply directly for vacancies on the jobs board. To join the database, you simply complete a structured questionnaire - this means the service can match specific job requirements (eg. masters in economics, fluent French, looking for work in banking and finance) with suitably qualified graduates. The employer knows nothing about which jobseekers are being sent the vacancy, and will only learn about you if you ask Jobmatch to forward on your profile. At this point, the application continues in the normal way. To sign up, click here.

There are many people who want to go after payday loans and stop them in their tracks. The U.S. Department of Justice and a number of state regulators are always going after them because of what they see as exploitation in the form of high interest rates. There may be some negative effects to a financial service that many people – mostly poor and working class people,
admittedly — rely on for legitimate needs. There are many areas of the country with no banks or other mainstream financial services available to them where they live and work.
Sometimes, working people have an urgent short-term need for cash for some sort of an emergency. A payday lender allows someone with a job and a checking account present proper identification and get a short term loan, usually up to $500, with the promise to pay the money back the next time they get paid. Sometimes, the borrower will write a post-dated check for the amount of the loan plus a fee, usually 15%. On the next payday the loan is either repaid by
the borrower or the lender cashes the check. The entire process takes a few minutes, and banks simply won't do these sorts of things.
For the millions of Americans who are living from paycheck to paycheck and try to pay their bills, payday loans are a necessary resource. Sometimes they lose a few hours from work and need to make the rent. Sometimes, there's a car repair or their electricity is about to be turned off. Not everyone has a friend or relative who can simply loan them a few hundred dollars when needed. Payday lenders offer a better way out.
Many of the people who criticize payday loans for their high interest rates have probably never had to borrow a small amount of money for something important. The can quote 400% APRs all they want. But the fact of the matter is, to a person who needs $100 to keep his electricity on, the $15 fee is a small price to pay for a service that no one else will even perform.

The portfolio comprises eight distribution and logistics assets across Banbury, Greater Manchester, Leicester, Maidstone and Peterborough and is home to a number of the UK's major retailers, including Cash Converters, Radial Inc, Shop Direct and a leading online retailer. Clearbell has sold the portfolio to fund managers Blackstone having built it up since 2014, securing 460,000 sq ft of new leases and asset management initiatives as well as the development of an additional three units.
DWF's real estate team, who acted on the acquisition and asset management of the various assets, advised Clearbell on the sale. The team was led by National Head of Real Estate Toby Askin and real estate director Stephen Hickling with support from associate Richard Lomax and solicitor Mark Costello alongside banking advice from Head of Banking in London partner Iain Shurwood and banking solicitor Leah Glover.
Stephen comments on the deal: "It was a pleasure to work with Clearbell on the sale of the Nevado portfolio which they have worked hard to build up, attracting strong interest from key tenants and further investors. This transaction highlights DWF's ability to leverage experts across the country and across various legal services, having access to our banking colleagues in London and real estate experts in Birmingham and Newcastle we were able to successfully complete the deal efficiently and quickly for our client."
DWF's circa 200-strong national real estate team regularly advises major corporates, developers, investors and occupiers, counting many household names amongst its client base, both in London and nationally. The group transacted on in excess of £2bn of real estate transactions last year alone.
