Board Approves Homeless Initiative
From hopelessness to hope—four stories from Los Angeles County Annual Report on Vimeo.
In a historic vote, the Board of Supervisors approved the most comprehensive, collaborative and far-reaching action plan ever to be undertaken to address the crisis of homelessness in Los Angeles County.
With more than 44,000 men, women and children living on the streets or in temporary shelters on any given night, the County Homeless Initiative laid out 47 strategies that aim to:
- Prevent homelessness
- Subsidize housing costs
- Increase income
- Provide case management and services
- Create a coordinated system
- Increase affordable housing.
A motion by Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, also approved by the Board, underscored the need to allocate funding on the basis of need. About a third of the County's homeless population live in the Second District.
"This motion reaffirms Board policy for the last three years that homeless investments should be needs-based," Supervisor Ridley-Thomas said.
"The gravity of the crisis is profound and if we fail to act now, the problem will be compounded," he added. "Urgency has to be the mantra of the day."
The Board created the Homeless Initiative in August 2015 with a mandate to produce a set of strategies that would not only provide the homeless with housing and other services, but also prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place. It convened 18 meetings, or policy summits, involving scores of experts, public and private stakeholders and community partners throughout the 88 cities that make up the County.
"It is imperative that we continue to have leadership at the helm, with the full backing of the County, steering us towards our ultimate goal: a community where homelessness is rare and brief," Supervisor Ridley-Thomas said. "Now we must turn our attention to how we sustain our efforts – through ongoing revenue streams – in the fight against homelessness." Click here for full text of his remarks.
About a dozen of the Homeless Initiative strategies are to be implemented by June 30, or Phase 1, including enhancing the emergency shelter system and expanding rapid-rehousing programs.
Implementation of Phase 2 is to begin in the second half of 2016, while Phase 3 will kick off in 2017.
Aside from stressing that funding should be needs-based, Supervisor Ridley-Thomas' motion sought to strength partnerships with faith organizations wanting to help the homeless, accelerate the development of affordable and permanent supportive housing by using prefab construction techniques; and other recommendations.

Read & Swim Program at Cedar Point
An Update from Cedar Point
The school year is winding down and we are gearing up for another fun summer at Cedar Point! We are currently serving well over a hundred students each afternoon in Homework Help. Our last day of tutoring for the school year is Thursday, May 25. We still have lots of kids coming with lots of homework so we still need you even though the end is in sight!
We will begin our summer Read and Swim program on June 12. Our schedule will be a little different from past years. We will read Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 3:00-5:00pm in the Community Center. Students who read all three times in a given week will "earn" a swim time at New Life Camp on Thursday afternoon or evening each week. Because of our increased numbers, we will be adding an additional swim time for our youngest swimmers which will include swim lessons. We will continue to hold our separate girls and boys swim times later in the day. Keeping the girls and boys separated at swim time allows our Muslim students to participate. We will also be adding an on-site party on Thursdays for those who choose not to swim or whose English is not adequate for understanding pool rules and safety procedures. We are also adding a lending library this summer so we can keep kids reading as much as possible!
We need you!!!
Summer is often a time of academic decline, as our students are not in their English as a Second Language classrooms or experiencing English immersion. We would love for each student to be able to read one-on-one with a tutor. This is the most effective method, as students often are making the same reading mistakes over and over unless they are gently corrected. We also realize that everyone is busy during the summer, and schedules are constantly changing. This is another one of our "come as you can" opportunities. We do not ask you to sign up for any specific days or frequency. You also do not have to serve the entire two hours on any given day. If you can come for thirty minutes, we'd love to have you join us! We are happy to verify community service hours for students who volunteer.
If you are interested in serving, there are a few things we need from you.
1. We need an application on file. If you have filled one out previously, but your important information has changed - please let us know. There will be applications at the volunteer orientations.
2. If you are 18 or over, we require a yearly background check. We cover the cost of this check.
3. You must attend one summer volunteer orientation. The dates for these are listed below. If you are unable to make any of these, please let me know.
Orientations are held in the Cedar Point Community Center and are scheduled as follows:
May 30 at 11:00am
May 31 at 3:00pm and 7:00pm
June 1 at 7:00pm
We also need books for our lending library!
We are accepting books in good condition - early readers through middle school level chapter books. We will be accepting book donations at any of our orientations and at Homework Help (Monday-Thursday 2:30-5:30pm in the community center) until the end of the school year.
Below is a flyer detailing this summer program. Please RSVP to email@example.com to attend an orientation. We hope you can join us for another summer of reading fun!

Harvest Monday – May 4, 2015
I could eat salads from the balcony every day, but I'm often too lazy (or tired) to bother with making a salad.
Lollo rosso lettuce, chives and bloody dock.
Babyleaf lettuce, more chives and bloody dock, and a bit of purple kale, sage and rosemary that I can't quite remember what I did with…
I think I saw some radishes that are big enough to harvest, so maybe this week, the era of endless greens will come to an end.
May 5, 2015 19:58
Your salad leaves are awesome and i would eat them often too, homegrown is so much better. I hope to grow purple kale this year.

Culture in Malta language, music, churches handicrafts
Throughout the long and turbulent history of Malta, culture has changed as much as the ruling nation. As Malta became independent in the mid 1900s, the island now has a predominantly Mediterranean culture, although over a century of British rule has left its mark.
Maltese cuisine is most like Sicilian in style, although traditional English dishes are as easy to find as the local ones. Pop into any restaurant and you'll be as likely to find bangers and mash on the menu as well as the local specialities. Rabbit is a popular dish, normally served in a casserole, cheese and pasta also feature heavily on local menus.
Local handicrafts are generally of good quality and well made. Lace and other fabrics are especially noteworthy; don't be surprised if you visit in the height of summer, to see women sitting on the street knitting thick woollen jumpers. Fine hand blown glass and glass figurines are also popular gifts.
Folk music makes up the majority of musical entertainment in Malta. Folk traditions have stood the test of time and centre around the patron saint of a town or village. Their saint's day is celebrated with fireworks and a procession. A folk song competition is held every June to mark the main folk festival, the feast of St Peter and St Paul. This is also celebrated by performances of the national dance.
Malta is overwhelmingly Catholic and Catholic churches and monuments are the dominant landmarks in every town. Maltese people live their lives very much under the Catholic influence; divorce and abortion are still illegal and look to stay that way for the foreseeable future. Catholic festivals and saints' feast days are the most important days of the year and the celebrations are large scale.
The native Maltese language, Malti, has been traced back to the Phoenician era. It is similar to Arabic and, although it still maintains much of its original form, the invading English, French, Italian and Spanish forces have evidently left their mark on it. English newspapers are as easy to come by as Maltese ones and radio and television is also broadcast in both English and Malti. As a result, English is spoken as often as Malti and the locals are keen to use it.

Feel like you have lost some energy and balance in your body? You need to strengthen your pelvic core?
Ever wonder why your back aches soon after you hit the road? Has shopping become a chore instead of a fun time as of late?
If you feel that the quality of your life has decreased because of a constant hitch in your back, then you know it is time to modify your current lifestyle and bring in some pain-taking techniques! Some might suggest very high-end, costly and time taking solutions to you, when simpler, cost effective and easily doable solutions exist such as the Pelvic Clock.
The pelvic clock is an addition of five to twenty minutes of simple exercises in your life which can help you manage your lower body pain while building strength and flexibility for your body. Who would know a simple exercise could have such a magnitude of positive affect on your body? Well, it is time to wear your thinking hats on and get researching on what the pelvic clock is all about and how you can benefit from it.
To get you started, here is a starter pack of exercises, ranging from basic stretches to modified techniques that can improve the overall quality of life for you.
Getting Started
1. Get into The Rhythm
Lie back on a solid surface. Bend your knees with feet hip distance apart. Take a couple of deep breaths to bring focus and mind & body relaxation. Keep breathing till you shift your focus from the monotony to the routine.
2. Work On Your Pelvis
Slowly but surely lift your pelvis about one to three inches off the floor, place the pelvic clock right above your tailbone (sacrum). Relax your back on the pelvic clock and find your adjustment spot. The 12 o'clock marker on the device should be pointing towards your head.
3. Rock Steadily
Stretch your legs open without stressing them into a straight position and get comfortable with the pelvic clock. Rock side by side and start getting familiar with the device.
Start Stretching!
To get you started, work on your stretches. Stretching helps your muscles relax, get in form and be prepared for a workout ahead. It also helps in bringing flexibility to your overall posture.
1. Rock Forward
Keeping your head at 12 o'clock, do simple rocking movements between 12 and 6 which will seem back and forth to warm up. Make sure your feet are firmly grounded and hands placed on the side of your body.
2. Rock Sideways
Keeping 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on your sides, rock your pelvis slowly on the pelvic clock from 3 to 9. This will be a left to right or vice versa movement to get you used to the clock motion.
3. Rock Clockwise
To give yourself a boost, slowly attempt the clockwise movement on the pelvic clock. Move your hips in a circle and make sure that you are controlling your movement. Your hip will complete one full circle clockwise.
Pelvic Clock® exercise device www.pelvicclock.com is a stretching aid for hip and lower back pain relief.

Day 620 – Ken here (T)(5-24-2011)
(DEF II, v.3, ch.38,Note V.3 pp.500-510)(pages read: 1560)
BIG, BIG day today – EXACTLY THE MIDPOINT of the Decline and Fall – the end of volume 3 (of 6) – and the end of the Roman Empire in the West (at least Gibbon's telling of the end). From now on, its East, East, East, and non-Romans in the West.
Really tired today, so don't expect a great deal of insightful commenting – and for some reason I've just discovered that I've started pluralizing Gibbon's name – referring to him as Gibbons – I've probably been doing that for months now and have just noticed it
Today (not the most interesting of days) we look at fantastic Britain – as in mythical, fantasy-like ancient English history. Well, we can't even say English (since that's Angle-ish, and refers to the conquering Saxons and Angles) – this is all more about the end of the Celts in Britain. Gibbon waxes eloquent on the subject of King Arthur, on the perfidy of the Saxons (something you'd expect of a member of the Norman aristocracy – disparaging the nations you conquered 700 years earlier), on Saxon slavery and brutishness, on the wild, artistic, changeable, and mercurial characters of the conquered Celts, and finally a brief summation of the state of the world as the Roman Empire in the West makes its final bows and exits the stage.
Gibbon predictably, takes every opportunity to disparage the Eastern Roman Empire still stubbornly existing and fabulously wealthy and large in the Eastern Mediterranean. I don't know how he manages, over the space of 200+ years to squeeze so much disdain and enmity into the adjective "Greek" just by italicizing it – the vaunted Gibbon rapier-like wit in action, yet again.
The majesty of Rome was faintly represented by the princes of Constantinople, the feeble and imaginary successors of Augustus. Yet they continued to reign over the East, from the Danube to the Nile and Tigris; the Gothic and Vandal kingdoms of Italy and Africa were subverted by the arms of Justinian; and the history of the Greek emperors may still afford a long series of instructive lessons and interesting revolutions.
(DEF ii, ch.38, p.507)
Gibbon, in true Enlightenment fashion, loves to doubt anything previously considered certain, esp. if the certain persons were Medieval and the certainty was a much told story of the Middle Ages – such are the Romances of King Arthur. Gibbon reviews the historical and literary genesis of Arthur as it was known in the late 18th century – from Jeffrey Monmouth, through Thomas Mallory, and thence through other countries of Europe (ex. Greece, etc). Gibbon's ends by stating the current opinion of "enlightened" men – that of nonexistence.
At length the light of science and reason was rekindled; the talisman was broken; the visionary fabric melted into air; and by a natural, though unjust, reverse of the public opinion, the severity of the present age is inclined to question the existence of Arthur.
(DEF ii ch.38, p.501)
The existence/non-existence, identity/non-identity of King Arthur is alive and well in the 21st century, despite Gibbon's predictions – (from WIki) there are
various and many vociferous proponents of a historical Arthur.
Even if it is all a story and a lie – its a very beautiful story and lie – and its spawned a great deal of great and not-so great literature and art – as well as memorable commercial references – so in the end I'm not sure it matters all that much what the truth is – at least to me – but then as a friend of mine always says "there's nothing as boring as someone else's fetishes" and I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool, inveterate Arthurian, so dismissing it all is pretty easy for me to say.

Across the country, red tape has blocked 750,000 students from access to high speed internet, according to EducationSuperHighway. In Montana alone, 45,000 students live with limited connectivity.

The dictionary got swole in 2019 with the addition of a ton of new words that stem from the ever-increasing pace of technology, changes in social constructs and how we relate to one another, and new compound terms, plus changes in the meanings of words as they evolve through usage. To keep you from having to read the dictionary to catch up on the latest buzzy terminology, here are a selection of the latest phrases being used.
Just because a word has been added to the dictionary doesn't mean it's new to that year, it just means that the use is significant enough that it's gained traction in society.
Gig Economy
Business in the late 2010s is changing rapidly; remember a time when there wasn't a ride-sharing app installed on your phone? In fact, ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are a prime example of the new gig economy, which refers to economic activities that involve the use of temporary or freelance workers to perform jobs, typically in the service sector. This also includes many delivery driver services, along with platforms like Upwork and TaskRabbit, where people are hired and paid for singular tasks with no expectation of regular work.
Different Surgeries
Social terms are becoming much more inclusive with the sweeping changes being made in gender politics throughout the world. Top surgery and bottom surgery are no longer just whispered colloquialisms to refer to the different types of gender reassignment surgery that people can undergo to make their body better match their gender identity, but are officially recognized procedures in the Mirriam-Webster dictionary.
Latinx was also added this year to be inclusive both culturally and gender-wise for people of Hispanic descent who do not wish to identify as Latina or Latino, which are gendered words.
Screen Time
New terms can also indicate changes in both word meaning and perhaps are a hint of how society needs to change as well. Unplug used to mean removing an electrical plug from an electric outlet, but it now means to take time away from the neverending carousel of social media and the 24-hour news cycle. This can give people a much needed break from screen time, or how much time they spend in front of screens, be it a computer, phone, tablet, or television. Screen time used to mean how much time an actor got on the screen, whether that be television or the movies.
Then there are the fun additions like buzzy, which is an adjective used to describe something that is being talked about a lot, or generating buzz, as in "That new movie is buzzy, everyone at the office is talking about it!"
Swole is another fun word that means swollen, but also more commonly is in reference to a muscular person, as in, "I just completed a six-week weightlifting program and am so swole." You can also use it to imply that you will soon be very muscular, as in "I'm gonna get swole after Christmas and New Year's Eve, bro."
The great thing about the dictionary officially recognizing new words is watching the evolution of the English language as it flexes with society to encapsulate the need for new words. Plus, it helps to have even more words to choose from when playing Words with Friends or any other word-based games!

You've probably heard the buzz around bone broth (in NYC there are entire eateries dedicated to it now!), but maybe you don't know exactly what it is – and if the benefits are all they're made out to be. To start, bone broth is exactly what it sounds like: a broth made with animal bones and simmered for hours. It's said to have a long list of benefits that support the health of the entire body – and who doesn't love to hit multiple birds with one stone?
"It's packed with amino acids, minerals, nutrients, collagen and gelatin that support the immune system, promote a healthy digestion by healing and sealing the gut and strengthen bones, skin, nails and hair," says Meredith Cochran, co-founder and CEO of The Osso Good Co. and author of "The 7 Day Bone Broth Diet Plan." "Bone broth is also known to reduce inflammation and joint pain while boosting energy levels and promoting better and deeper sleep." This effect of mitigating inflammation and boosting gut health also has ripple effects on, for example, acne since it can help with skin inflammation. Of course, like with anything, you'd need to be consuming huge amounts of broth daily to see direct results, so instead of thinking of bone broth as a cure-all it should be thought of as a healthy addition to a diet. Especially because these broths are often VERY high in sodium! Always read nutrition labels because you don't want to end up bloated when you're hoping to fight inflammation!
While there are a ton of ways to enjoy bone broth, they're most commonly sipped warm or added to recipes likes soups and stews… but that's just way too hot to do in summer! Which brings us to a bubbling trend: bone broth smoothies. Yes, that's right, animal-based broths and fruits are now a thing. Will they be the next black bean brownie or avocado ice cream? Checkout the recipe below and let us know what you think!
The Mango Smoothie (serves 2) from Osso Good is made with just three ingredients:
- 20 oz pouch of partially frozen chicken bone broth
- 1 ripe medium/large mango
- celtic sea salt to taste
Blend together partially frozen bone broth, mango and sea salt until smooth.
Cold soups are another option. BruBroth makes it pretty easy. They're basically the bone broth version of a juice cleanse – they combine all of the nutrition of bone broth with the vitamins of fresh vegetable and root juices. They source pastured, organic chicken and grass-fed beef bones from local farmers and the brand is 100% organic. The broths are meant to be heated but can easily be enjoyed chilled as a gazpacho alternative. Or, as an alternative to mixing fruit with animal broth if you're not quite ready for a bone broth smoothie…

CHUCK Recap: 'Chuck Versus the Santa Suit'
December 24, 2011 by Al Mosier
THE MISSION – Gasp! NOOOOOOO!!!!! Not SHAW!!!! Yes, Shaw. You just knew he'd be back, and he's more evil than ever. The Omen virus has opened the door for Shaw to wreak vengeance on Sarah and Chuck. He starts by taking Sarah as she works alone in Castle, playing Christmas elf for Ellie and baby Clara. From there it just gets worse.
Tonight there is a mission and it's Chuck's most important to date; the final mission for Carmicheal Industries is to retrieve the Macao Device from the C.I.A. Los Angeles HQ and trade it for Sarah. To do this he needs the help of the whole team, General Beckman and the Buy More Santa suit. Beckman gets Chuck inside the C.I.A. Christmas party dressed as Santa, and together they break into Decker's office and retrieve the Macao Device, but not before Beckman has to kiss a surprised Chuck as part of a deception to send the security people on their way. After retrieving the device she says, "We never speak of this again."
Meanwhile, Sarah has been hanging around (literally!) in Castle with Shaw as he gathers information, draining the C.I.A. mainframe of data to create intersect 3.0. Little does he realize two of the most advanced computer specialists in the world have been instructed to reverse engineer the omen virus. Yes! I'm talking about Lester and Jeff who just might have saved the world. Our intrepid nerd herders discover that the virus is a fake, designed only to attack the C.I.A.
Sarah cleverly manages to cut herself loose, while at the same time Casey is crashing the party through the heating ducts. Shaw shoots through the ductwork seriously wounding Casey who crashes to the floor and is kicked into one of the holding cells (where Sarah had been storing the Christmas gifts) and recaptures Sarah.
Chuck returns to the Buy More with the Macao device and quickly programs it to suppress the intersect instead of upload it. He then taunts Shaw into meeting him in the empty Buy More for round two of their epic battle, while Morgan sneaks into the elevator and descends to Castle, rescuing Sarah with the help of Casey, who has escaped the holding cell thanks to Mr. Pippers. Shaw intends for Sarah to watch him kill her husband the way she killed Evelyn Shaw, so she'll have to live with that the rest of her life. "It's not about Chuck," says Shaw. "It's about you."
Shaw puts on the intersect glasses only to find he's been de-intersected, whereupon Chuck beats him up. However, the dastardly Shaw is able to grab a pistol and it looks like the end for Chuck when Ellie conks the baddie with a piece of electronic equipment.
Chuck had tried to send her home earlier, but as she says, "I'm Eleanor Woodcomb. Since when do I do what I'm told?"
Goodbye, Daniel Shaw! But wait! General Beckman joins the Bartowski clan for Christmas, welcoming the team back into the C.I.A. She also tells Sarah that Shaw has requested a meet. She visits him in prison where he asks the question that will drive the last half of the season, "Does Chuck know about the baby?"
Can't we ever get rid of this guy?
MISSION ANALYSIS – Yikes! Have we seen the end of Shaw? I think we have. It was nice to see Ellie take some revenge for the death of her father. I'm sensing closure here.
Stan Lee is a spy? Under the mistletoe with General Beckman? Whoo boy! A Geek's delight.
The last four minutes set up the story arc for the rest of the season — whose baby is it? Is it Sarah's? Who's the father? Shaw? Chuck? Bryce? We're treated to some scenes of Sarah, the baby and her mother in the promos for next week. Sarah's hair is long, so I'm guessing they're flashbacks. It's going to be another fun episode. How are we going to wait until next Friday? Things are starting to pick up speed as we careen toward the series finale.
- "Merry Christmas, Sarah. Miss me?" – Shaw
- Mr. Pippers – a geek reference to Wally Cox and his 50's sitcom "Mr. Peepers?"
- Lester and Jeff bribed with a six inch classic Italian BMT from Subway. Thanks Subway for all your support over the years. We owe you big.
- "You seriously underestimate the power of the nerd herd" – Chuck to Shaw
- "When you roll with General Diane Beckman, you roll in style!" – Chuck
- Lester in his yarmulke at the Bartowski party — a good Hinjew to the end.
YOUR INPUT – What did you think of this episode?

I will never write about theology. Unless you are looking for a theology that includes a messy, confused, always questioning girl who never went to seminary then I am your girl. Otherwise you probably will never see me published in anything that intellectual people read.
I admit there are times I go through an "I will never be good enough" as a writer phase. But after I eat a few cookies and watch some trash TV I realize that I don't want to be that writer. I don't want to write about things I have no business talking about much less writing about.
In high school my I have him on a pedestal English teacher handed me back a paper covered with more red than I care to admit. I remember standing there with sweat running down my back, embarrassed that I would ever get anything but a stellar grade from said idolized teacher. He wrote clearly at the top of the paper WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. That day. That day I stopped trying to be someone I was never meant to be.
Today still I write what I know. I don't write about theology. I don't write about pet-breeding. I don't write about dating. I don't write about leadership. I don't write about teaching. I don't write about decorating. I don't write about breastfeeding. I don't write about my teenagers (they can tell their own stories) But I do write.
I write stories. My stories. Stories of pain. Stories of fear. Stories of adoption. Stories of redemption. Stories of marriage. Stories of struggle. Stories of addiction. Stories of abuse. Stories of depression. Stories of motherhood. Stories of brokenness. Stories of healing. Stories of doubt. Stories of anger. Stories of grace. Stories of ugliness. Stories of forgiveness. Stories of family. Stories of loss. Stories of God. Stories of truth.
I write what I know.
Here is where naysayers like to enter the scene. With concern or criticism it all sounds the same to me. It sounds like I need to stop writing. I need to stop writing what I know. I need to put down the pen and pretend I am someone else. I am sure some feel that I could write the light "Jesus loves you" post or "hang in there" post with a cat hanging from a branch. I could even act as if I am smarter than I am and try to write about theology or leadership. But that is not who I am. My story. My story is who I am. I will never write to please or appease your image of who you think I am.
I am messy.
I am a story of brokenness.
I have lived through addictions.
I am a survivor of abuse.
I have had grace poured over me.
I have seen and been ugliness.
I am my story.
And my story is what I write.

Even though this game is almost 15 years old and uses a modified Quake engine, it is still one of the most FUN and best shooters ever to be made. In fact all other first person shooters and games in general can learn from Half Life 1. The game world is extremely immersive. There are no level ends, there is no text to read, there are no scores and everyone talks to you without freezing you into a cut scene. All of this makes you feel less like you are a player playing a game, but you are indeed the hero Gordon Freeman. Characters recognize you, talk to you, and you can have them come with you or stay put. Security guards that come with you will shoot enemies (slowly).
The story is that you are silent protagonist Gordon Freeman (you'll feel like him by the end) and you work for Black Mesa, your standard super secret facility. Something goes horribly wrong and uh. The formula is very simple, but they execute it so well that other games have copied it and failed (Doom 3). Needless to say you need to fight your way out through the facility, on the desert (being chased by a helicopter), and everything else would just be a spoiler. There are no levels, no loading screens. Loading is seamless and happens during downtime.
Half Life 1 has simple controls and an optional tutorial level. There are buttons for jumping, crouching (sneaking), using your flashlight (that needs to be off to charge it), shooting, secondary shooting (for machine guns) and "using" things. The game is always in run mode and character speed seems to be fast. Too fast sometimes, but there is that sneak button that will slow you down.
But how is the first person shooting? There is a wide variety of guns and each has a certain joy and usefulness to them. Even the simple pistol is useful for lesser enemies 8 hours into the game. There is a shotgun, a machine gun with grenade launcher, grenades, explosives you detonate, wall sensors with explosives, a harpoon, a laser guided rocket launcher that once it launches you point your cursor and it will turn accordingly, lasers, homing missiles, head crabs and more. An amazing array that you continue to get even up to the final levels areas. To swap weapons you push 6 number keys and press some keys twice to access some weapons like the shotgun / machine gun / harpoon.
You start with a crowbar good for breaking grates, and destroying boxes. Destroying boxes is how you will find most items and ammo. Instead of just finding things scattered on the floor, on shelves or on a desk you need to bash open boxes to find the good stuff. You can also push or pull the boxes too which is nice for puzzle solving and platforming.
The enemies are just as diverse and each one requires you to think and act differently. Since I don't know the name of any enemy I'll fumble through this. The start enemies are lesser creatures that will start on the floor and jump at you. 2 shots from a pistol take them out. There are zombie-ish aliens that take a shotgun or two, but they are easy enough to avoid. Aliens that teleport in and beam electricity at you will cause you to hide, pudgy little alien crawler / hoppers will make you shoot from a distance because they will send out a small shockwave. Standard soldiers that will shoot machine guns, throw grenades and coordinate attacks against you like flanking. Ceiling huggers that are yucky red globs on the ceiling with long rope like tongues that when they catch you, you'll be pulled up and eaten… if you don't shoot them. Giant aliens with homing missiles too. There is a wide variety of enemies and bosses. I can't list them all.
The game also shines with its tricks and traps and will throw a puzzle or challenge at you to keep you thinking. But in this game it doesn't feel like a puzzle or a challenge. It seems natural. There can be a hidden turret where the fun is making your choice how to take it out… Grenade, explosive, shooting it and getting shot in the process, running by it or just not hitting the trip wire to start it in general. Wall sensor explosives, push and pull box puzzles, pushing buttons, hopping hanging boxes over a pit, conveyer belts, using a sky cannon to destroy walls, using turrets, on rails vehicles that you have a lot of control over, water puzzles, high jump pads and so on. There is a lot of variety and it's never the same thing twice.
To sum it up, this is a diverse and VERY FUN game. It has a sense of humor to it and you'll feel like you are Gordon Freeman through the game's well crafted immersion. Puzzles, shooting and challenges all melded together into one fantastic game and I can't say that too often.

Actor, comedian, and social media super star Celeste Barber is the self proclaimed queen of everyday sophistication and low budget lifestyle aspirations.

Hailed as 'The Funniest Woman on Instagram', Celeste also hits us with a healthy dose of humour, as she explains some of the pit falls of being married to someone so much hotter than her (shoutout to #hothusband) and what it's like to be an Anti Influencer.

So I've been thinking . . . about passion and getting turned on. Who wouldn't want passion in their life? Me.
I was talking with a friend the other night about this very thing: passion and what turns you on. Specifically, we talked about finding your passion and making money doing what you love. But not in the "I'm passionate about goat farming and am selling all my worldly possessions and moving to Vermont to raise goats" way.
More like, WTF with the pressure to find your passion. There's this belief that if you just figure out what you love to do, you can make money doing it and will spend the rest of your life happy and fulfilled. Articles pop-up everywhere: 10 Ways to Find Your Passion! 42 Things You Can Do to Discover Your Passion! 5 People Who Followed Their Passion and Found Amazing Success!
We read about it all the time. You know, the ad executive/attorney/data analyst who quit her corporate day job because she found she loved to make homemade organic lavender honey. She started selling it online, and then it turned into a multi-million dollar business and she is happy as a clam.
Well, these are the exceptions. We read about the people who know what they love and then take the risk to build a career around it. I am here to tell you, these are not the norm. Exceptions.
I know these articles are meant to inspire you. And maybe they do . . . for some people. But mostly it makes you feel like a failure or like it's so easy to find the thing that inspires you or that you've done something wrong by doing what it is you actually are doing. There's pressure and scarcity surrounding the hype of finding your passion. And it's kind of magical thinking, if you think about it. It implies if you just find your passion (again, not so easy), then you will fill in the blank [find true happiness, make millions, be famous].
Look, I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it or you shouldn't do the thing that makes you happy. If you know what turns you on, what fuels your fire, then go for it. It's just, how many of us actually know what we are really passionate about? We don't always know. And maybe that's ok.
And another thing (or two or five) . . .
- Another take on passion.
- Recently, I've had some bad customer service experiences. That make me think about the good ones.
- I so would've applied for this job. Happy April Fool's Day!
- BABY DUCKS! (Coz Baby Goats aren't the only ones who have fun.)
- What made me happy this week.
I've been reading . . . Room by Emma O'Donoghue. Actually, I just finished it, and I finished Olive Kitteridge too.
As for Olive Kitterridge, I don't know what I can say about it here to do it justice. One of the most well-written books I've ever read. It's well-crafted writing, the kind you can only aspire to. Stories that peak into daily life but lift the curtain on what appears to be daily life. Simply lovely.
Room was a book I couldn't put down. It was really good. And I liked the first two parts. But then the last two parts I didn't like as much. The editor in me started finding inconsistencies. And I felt it started reading as, "ok, now we need to make this all neat and tidy so wrap it up." Still, I enjoyed it and would recommend the book.
Not sure what I will read next but this might help me find my next read.
I've been watching . . . nothing really worth mentioning. Only 23 days until Game of Thrones starts! (And 14 days until Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.)
I've been listening to . . . Gwen Stefani's new album This Is What the Truth Looks Like. I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO IT!
Have a wonderful weekend!

It's that time of year again—time to get flu shots, if you haven't already.
The Peninsula Health District's community health nurse supervisor Yasmine Harris said there have been no reported cases of the flu in the area. Nor has any flu activity been reported in Virginia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Flu activity usually peaks between December and March, Harris said, but the season can stretch as far as October through May. The CDC recommends everyone six months and older get vaccinated by October's end. Later is okay, the CDC states, though it's best not to wait. The vaccine takes about two weeks to become effective.
The CDC indicates more than 127 million doses of flu vaccine have been distributed.
For the 2016 to 2017 season, there's some new information to keep in mind.
"There are only injectable shots being offered. No more mist," Harris said, referring to the nasal spray vaccine. "For efficacy, the shots are better for the population. And it has been updated to better match the circulating viruses that we have."
According to the CDC, the upcoming season's vaccine combats viruses researched to be the most common this season, including influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2) and one to two influenza B viruses depending on the vaccine.
"I just think that everybody should be vaccinated to protect themselves and protect those around them from the flu," Harris said.
The Peninsula Health District, located in Newport News, offers vaccinations, as do several doctor's offices, urgent care clinics and pharmacies.
According to HealthMap Vaccine Finder (vaccinefinder.org), here are locations in Williamsburg offering flu vaccines.
•The Rite Aids located at 1303 Jamestown Road #11 (757-220-1355), 701 Merrimac Trail (757-229-0131), 5601 B Richmond Road (757-565-6407), 4501 News Road (757-220-1287) and 4511 John Tyler Highway, Suite K (757-253-8003).

Skin bleaching in Africa: An 'addiction' with risks
A billboard advertises products to restore natural skin colour on Spintex Road in Accra on July 2, 2018. Africa is experiencing a massive trend of skin bleaching, also called lightening or whitening, particularly in teenagers and young adults. The widening phenomenon is laden with health risks. Since Government of Ghana banned hydroquinone in 2016, the main chemical component used in numerous skin-bleaching products, most of skin care brands have started to advertise products without hydroquinone or products to restore natural skin colour. (CRISTINA ALDEHUELA / AFP)
(AFP) - Skin bleaching in Africa is gaining popularity despite many health risks.
In spite of the danger, people use toxic creams and injections and pills to become more fair, in the belief that lighter skin is a gateway to beauty and success.
Ingredients may include hydroquinone, steroids, mercury and lead -- the same element that in high concentrations poisoned Elizabethan courtiers who powdered their faces ivory white.
Many governments in Africa have banned the sale of bleaching creams and warned about taking high doses of a lightening compound called glutathione, which is sold as injections or pills.
But demand for the bleaching products far exceeds what authorities can regulate.
In many African capitals there are billboards advertising creams for fair skin, while a legion of black market cosmetologists assemble bootleg creams for sale in markets.
People who start skin bleaching caution that the results are "addictive" and that they quickly become dependent on the creams to feel beautiful.
They can end up spending hundreds of dollars every month in order to keep a fair complexion, even as it damages their skin.
Side effects include sensitive skin that becomes uneven in tone, stretch marks, and in the worst cases, ochronosis -- a build-ups of acid that makes the skin appear darker.
Black cultural movements are trying to challenge longstanding Eurocentric standards of beauty by celebrating natural skin and hair.
But it's not clear yet if the trend will shift public opinion in Africa, where fair skin is still held at a premium.
