Here's a new Spirit chapter, new TNS chap will be up in a few sec~!
Chapter 01: The girls lost item
Some time had passed since 'he' possessed an earwig-like monster and got crushed by the wary adventurer's attack. After 'he' got used to possessing big rats, small rats, and bugs,
it was as if he had learned the ropes of it and he was able to control them at his own will.
[He……re…….. Here we go.]
'He' who is flying through the corridor while trying to maintain his balance, is now possessing a large bat that lives inside the dungeon.
The living beings that live inside this dungeon change because of the magic power within it, becoming enlarged or going berserk. Since from time to time an adventurer party passes by, he was able to find out about the history and workings of the dungeon.
It seems like even humans will be affected if they stay too long inside the dungeon. By the way, 'he' also tried to possess a human, but it didn't go well.
[However this bat, because its body is so big, it takes a while to get back up high if it falls once.]
The big mutant bat was located before a normal bat, like a normal one, it was hanging upside down on the ceiling while resting, it drops well by sliding it's leg. What ´he´ was possessing was also a bat, he got the idea when he saw one going towards him when he was possessing a rat.
The balance may be bad, but his mobility had increased because it can fly. Thanks to that, he was able to find many things on this floor, like the exit to the dungeon and, furthermore, he was able to find the stairs leading deeper down the dungeon. He tried to leave the dungeon once through the exit, however something like a barrier stopped him and he couldn't get out.
For that reason, today 'he' who didn't do anything in particular and was just floating there, and thus, was just hovering around the ceiling of the exit of the dungeon, while thinking: 'won't anyone pass by~', just hovering. If he was in a place where he stood out, things like arrows or fireballs or ice shards would come flying towards him, so he was floating in a place where he didn't stand out.
Yesterday, the teacher of an adventurer party led them to the dungeon in the town of Barass. 'The first floor is safe, there isn't anything scary' a petite human presence kept telling herself that with timid steps in the passage. Because of some circumstances, she came alone today.
She, who had just become an adventurer apprentice, was a normal teenage girl if you left out the battle training she had and her knowledge as an adventurer.
She wore normal town clothes and a thick coat meant for long journeys, her weapons were a knife provided by the adventurer's society and a short bow with an arrow. Since the first floor of the dungeon had lights, so her hands were free, she had an arrow nocked so that she could attack from a safe distance.
"I-It's okay, it's okay. I just have to look around the area I was yesterday, even if monsters come out, I should be able to beat them on my own."
She was nervously muttering that, confirming she had her knife on her belt, she grasped her short bow and began walking through the passage.
From the ceiling 'He' who was looking at the girl who was a nooby adventurer no matter how you looked at it, was concentrating his consciousness on the girl, he controlled the possessed bat and slipped from the ceiling. 'He' was trying to observe the girl closely, but he didn't make it in time to spread his wings.
To the black mass that simply fell down in front of her eyes, the surprised girl readied her bow in a hurry. But, she didn't have an arrow readied yet.
Impatiently she tried to grab an arrow, by the time she had loaded the arrow on her bow and fixed her stance, the black mass had stood back up and looked at her. She involuntarily felt a chill down her spine. However, the black mass didn't make any moves to attack and just kept looking at her with its eyes that looked like glass beads.
'He' tried to tried to simply answer the girl. Even if the monsters he possessed were to be pierced by an arrow or slashed by a sword, 'he' himself didn't get particularly affected by it, there weren't any problems with facing adventurers.
Since 'He' would get hunted no matter what, 'He' acts stealthily around humans.
"Could it be that you fell down?"
The girl looked up to the ceiling once, then she returned her gaze to the big bat that was standing perched in the passage, the bat answered her gaze by gazing back. It's a monster that is tentatively called 'man-eating bat', but the girl calmed down noticing that this bat didn't have any ill will.
It seems like the fangs and claws of a bat are some kind of valuable material, so from time to time adventurers or merchants come to hunt them down. Basically it's a monster you don't have to be wary of.
"You're a klutz aren't you."
When the girl puts the short bow on her back she fearfully approached the large bat, after knowing that there wasn't any danger she lifted him up, in a confusing way she started her search in the dungeon while hugging him as if he were a stuffed doll.
"That's why-, I think I dropped it around here yesterday when I passed through."
"I cherished it since it was a present that I liked, but to think I would drop it in a place like this……"
A strange conversation between a human and a monster resounded in the passage of the underground dungeon. 'He' was happy to have some communication with a human, even if he couldn't answer her, he could still respond to her, he was enjoying listening to the girl's words which became close to complaining.
According to the girls story, the cherished brooch she got from her male childhood friend who was always being dragged around by his adventurer parents, it seems like she dropped it yesterday when she fell while being trained here, so she came back in order to find it. She just entered the training school of the adventurers society so she didn't have any friends who would come with her to the dungeon in order to find her lost item, and she can't tell the guy 'I dropped it' since it'd be awkward. Thinking it'd be alright if it was just the first floor, she summoned up her courage and came down.
She took the route which they picked with her party yesterday, while looking if she dropped her brooch anywhere, but there wasn't anything that looked like that'd be it.
"Nothing……. maybe someone picked it up or something."
"There's no way that a monster picked it up right-"
Not really. Were the words that 'he' couldn't say, since from time to time he sees the big rats and earwigs pick up dropped coins or shards of gems and carry them somewhere within the dungeon.
When 'He' is in his spirit form he was able to see the flow of magic power after it had reached a certain point. Gems are able to absorb magic power easily, the gems and metal ores inside the dungeon are covered in the magic power it gives off, so they absorb it. It seems like the large rat that got mutated by the magic power of the dungeon, gets attracted to objects that have magic power within it.
"If it's inside a monster's body then it'll become troublesome to find it."
From within the girl's arm 'He' was looking around the area to help her find her lost item, then he saw a large rat in the wall in front of them. The girl was looking the other way so she hadn't noticed it yet. It seems like the large rat has gone into a berserk state from hunger. 'He' informed the girl about the danger.
"What happened? So suddenly— ~tsu!"
The girl who looked at the wall in front of her became silent. Noticing that the large rat was obviously aiming for her, she put down the bat in her arms and took her short bow into her hand. Since she came here with the adventurer party last time, this'll be her first real battle. The large rat that exposed its fangs against her.
She fires her arrow immediately at the lunging rat, but her accuracy against the target puppets at training was only 70%, so with her skills it was too hard to hit a moving opponent, so she missed and her arrow hit the floor. When she was going to fire her next arrow the rat had already come close to her face and aimed its fangs at her throat.
Because she was so overcome with fear, the girl couldn't even draw her knife and froze in place. At that moment a black mass appeared, and threw himself in front of the girl. With fangs sharp enough to cut through stone, the rat pierced the large bats body. The large rat thought that it'd be okay with whatever it had, so it began to prey on the large bat.
[Eh, you already gave me a name!?]
After feeling the death throes of the bat 'He' switched to the large rat that was preying on the large bat he was just in, he checked his surroundings to see the girl. He checked both the girls well being, as well as his means of transportation.
Thinking it'd be better to leave this place for now 'He' jumped into a small hole within the wall. From the back he heard the sobbing sounds of the girl saying "sorry, I'm so sorry" while holding the half eaten bat, Kou-chan.
It's probably because she was a nooby adventurer, but this was the first time 'He' had seen a human this close when he was inside a monster. Neither young nor old, none of them had any mercy in their heart for monsters.
"So she's a gentle child."
'He' thought that he should do something for the first human girl he was able to communicate with, so he used the body of the large rat to explore the area. He doesn't know what kind of item the girls dropped broche was, but if it contained precious metals or gems then as long as it was inside the dungeon 'He' would be able to see it from his perspective.
Then after moving around within the wall for a while, he found a source of a mass of magic power coming from inside a large rat. Even though these rat's don't form packs since they're mutations, they are still territorial, if another rat entered its territory it'll try to expel it.
Against the large rat that was baring its fangs, 'He' used the human wisdom he had. Picking up a rock of the right size within the useful paws of the rat, he just casually approached the other rat. Maybe because he got stimulated by the smell of the blood of the rat's previous prey, the large rat got pissed off and lunged at him.
The large rat that attacked, was gifted a stone to its mouth. The large rat vigorously bit on the stone, but noticing its fangs couldn't break it, it spit out the stone and moved back. But, before it could do that he pressed the stone further in.
The large rat rolled onto its back with its face becoming pale because of the stone in its mouth,
while fidgeting around the rat's abdomen got impaled by another rat's fangs. Since it was the same as the feeling when he bit through some meat, he didn't feel anything in particular because of it. Then from the abdomen of the large rat he found a brooch which was emitting small amounts of magic power
"Is this it? The thing that child lost."
Thinking it should be given immediately 'He' ran back toward the passage he just came from.
"Would she still be there?"
The girl was already gone when he returned to the site, not knowing from where they suddenly popped up from, the large bat's body was being eaten away by a swarm of small insects that were like the cleanup crew of the dungeon. Then he saw a human's appearance from afar so he tried to approach it, then saw an adventurer like boy soothing a girl while walking to the exit.
"But, but even though it was something you gave me……"
"I'll buy something like that anytime you want."
Actually the boy who was originally against the girl going to the adventurers association's school, was now reminding her that she shouldn't do something dangerous like this next time.
"Also it was just coincidence that the bat protected you."
"But, Kou-chan was…."
The adventurer boy gave a lecture to the girl about monsters, after she said that she wanted to bring back the large bat's corpse and make a grave for it.
Basically, monsters that live inside the dungeon are infected by the malice and grudges of souls that became intertwined, and act based on that. On the lower floors the mutated animals may move differently because of their instincts from when they were normal animals, but when they are monsters they all act with the same principle in mind.
Because of the collective consciousness inside the dungeon, they won't get hugged by humans, and they also can't be fed, which has been shown to you in the lessons.
"Seriously, you ar-, because you think you can do what you want, I was worried about you."
"Uhh, I'm sorry."
Behind the two that were conversing with each other, a large rat was following after them with a bloodstained brooch. Since one of his hands was occupied he couldn't run very well, by the time he finally caught up to them, they were already walking up the stairs to the exit. Because the barrier prevents monsters from leaving, with the body of a large rat he was prevented from even taking one step. In the end, 'He' wasn't able to give the lost item to the girl whose name he didn't even know.
Before meeting any other adventurers 'He' went into a nearby hole, and attached the brooch to his fur so he wouldn't lose it.
[This, what should I do with it.]
I can't keep it with my spirit form since it can't touch solid things. While thinking that, he let out half his spirit form and made a grabbing gesture toward the brooch. When 'his' hand slipped past the brooch, he felt his hand overlap with it in spirit form.
Feeling as if he obtained a faint sense of touch, 'he' tried to focus his consciousness on the brooch. With the image of having the brooch in his hand, he had the feeling as if it got closer, when he noticed it, the brooch was in his hand. To be precise he summoned it from his own dimension.
Moving from another dimension where the spirit form is to the other dimension where the real form is. In order to try it out with a random pebble he made an image where he was holding it, then just like the brooch, he was able to summon it to his own dimension. When he touched it, it wasn't like the vague feelings he had before, it had a firm feel. The concept of distance seems vague, when summoning it to his hand it'll be there, if he imagines it to go far away it'll go far away. Thinking of it as a storage place it's a very useful infinite place.
[So I was able to do such things…. hmm, with this I'll be able to hold onto it without worry.]
'He' who thought that he should return it to the girl for when they meet again, stored the brooch in another dimension. Having obtained a way to touch other things, he ran into the dungeon while thinking of things he wanted to touch.

United accused of 'racketeering'…by the French!
French radio stations have vowed to boycott the Manchester United v Marseille Champions League clash next month over the "exorbitant" transmission fees being demanded by the English Premier League giants. Radio France chief of sport Jacques Vendroux said United had demanded 26,000 euros from each French radio station wishing to cover the second leg of their last 16 clash at Old Trafford. He indicated that the demand, the "most exorbitant sum" he had ever heard of, was all the more bizarre because English radio stations were able to cover the first leg in Marseille on Wednesday for free when the sides played out a scoreless draw. As a result, he said Radio France and its two sister stations France Info and Radio Bleu Provence, would be joined by RTL, Europe 1 and RMC in boycotting the match on March 15.

North Korea: The War Game
Dealing with North Korea could make Iraq look like child's play—and the longer we wait, the harder it will get. That's the message of a Pentagon-style war game involving some of this country's most prominent foreign-policy strategists
by Scott Stossel
O n the third weekend in March, while America was transfixed by the most exciting NCAA basketball tournament in years, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in the Far East, in the midst of a series of meetings with her opposite numbers in six Asian countries. Arriving in Seoul, South Korea, on Saturday, she boarded a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and flew to Command Post Tango, the underground bunker that would be the nerve center for the U.S. military in the event of a war against North Korea. While not quite on the order of Ariel Sharon's parading around the Temple Mount in Israel, Rice's move was undeniably provocative. No high-ranking American official had ever visited the bunker before—and the choice of a military site as the secretary of state's first stop seemed to represent a gentle rattling of the sword. What's more, Rice spoke against a backdrop of computers and television screens monitoring the 20,000 South Korean and American soldiers who were at that very moment engaging in one of their regular war-game exercises—practicing, in effect, to fight a war with North Korea no sane person hopes ever to see.
The North Koreans responded by rattling their sword right back. First they announced they were boosting their nuclear arsenal, as a "deterrent" against U.S. attack. And then, apparently, they began to act: a few weeks after Rice's visit, U.S. spy satellites detected a reduction in activity at the Yongbyon nuclear reactor. Possibly this meant that the reactor had run into mechanical trouble; more probably, it meant that the North Koreans had shut down the plant to withdraw spent fuel rods in order to reprocess them into fissile material for nuclear weapons. What was clear was that the situation represented a grave international crisis.

8-14 inches expected today! Good grief. It's really ok (seeing as though it IS winter); but we are missing out on our second Sunday at church, and I adore going to our little church. So boo on the snow for today.
Since I've had a bit of free time this morning, I've been doing a little online browsing; ran across a great article on Forbes about the CPSIA disaster. Good reading. I was a bit disheartened to learn that resell shops still aren't truly exempt, and to learn that there are a few people out there that are, um…do I have words for people like this?
Yet prominent consumer groups have continued to defend even the law's more extreme applications, and their spokespersons are dismissive of public outrage. "I haven't heard a single legitimate concern yet," Public Citizen's David Arkush wrote last month.
Obviously Mr. Arkush, and those that are like minded, are…are…see? No words!
I suppose my big concern is that if this law is passed (oh wait! It already was!) that we'll move quickly from "so-called-protecting" our children to even more heavy-handed regulation. Why not "protect" everyone? Let the government take over everything! No more small business, no more handmade…give an inch and they'll take a mile.
Ok, enough of that for me this morning; I'm going to take my as-of-late life verse seriously and turn my mind to better things! I wrote it on my wall last week, and I think I'll keep it up there for the time being:
I promise to be a bit more positive in my next post. 😉 But truly, if you haven't taken action yet, click on the handmade link in my sidebar; let's do what we can!

Well, the boys and I braved the -25 temps this morning and took Daddy to work…because momma was stir crazy! We are at Papa and Nonnies right now, where we are able to snuggle up to the woodstove. Delightful.
Yesterday, however, did turn out to be a wee bit productive! Grammie had the boys, so I spent the majority of the day like this:
downing mugfuls of coffee and painting inbetween sips. I've always adored Big Letters, and finally decided to construct my own; I drew it and dad cut it out with his handy dandy jigsaw. So I painted 'er up yesterday, along with a couple of oars that mom and dad gave me for Christmas.
To the left of the "m" is the area of the house wherein, if you walk in the front door, you go either upstairs or downstairs, so we have 3 pretty signifcant walls that need "done up". The "m" will hang over the door, and the oars opposite; I have a significant project planned for the wall that faces the living room, but I haven't begun it yet.
I also managed to sneak in Music for Millions, a super 1944 movie that was on TCM. I'm crazy about the old black n' whites.
While I had planned on finishing a bit more, it was nice to get a few things accomplished and loaf around some too. Don't get to do that everyday with a coupla boys running around.
Happy Friday out there!

I love this picture. Love it. It's of my grandfather and his brothers, on their ranch…many years ago. Grandpa is the one being "branded". I'm going to enlarge it, maybe get it mounted on canvas. Possibly put it inbetween pictures of the boys with their little cowboy hats on.
Kinda reminds me of an average evening in our house, minus the branding iron. 😉

But we'll get to the couch story in a minute. 🙂
(Oh, and by the way-I've been so busy this week already that I haven't had time to reply to comments! Thanks for the kitchen love-it's still nowhere near what I want it to be, but your encouragement helps!)
Onto the the current topic. This is my latest effort in decorating our walls.
Couple of canvases, paint from my valspar paint samples, and 5X7's of the boys.
I think it came to about 5 bucks per painting, because I bought the canvases at 50% off.
Onto the couch story! About 10 years ago, my parents purchased this couch. Lovely effort for the time. About 8 1/2 years ago, Erick and I moved to Virginia, and while searching for a couch, we came across the very same one for about $200 bucks at a furniture sale, so we snatched it up because it went well with our decor at the time, reminded us of home, and was a durn good price! But by the time we were ready to move back, we willingly sold it. Time to move on from the green monster. Alas, we moved in with mom and dad while job searching…back to the same couch. After 3 years (THREE YEARS!) of living with my parents, once we bought our house, mom and dad were more than willing to unload their green monster, so we are now in possession again (and truly are grateful for anything to sit on at the moment!). Ha. Does anyone else have a piece of furniture that you would love to get rid of, but seems to stick to you like glue?

Realized I hadn't posted a picture of our chalkboard "after" yet. It has been a rousing success…I love it! And I'm hoping that the announcement in the middle will get my dear husbands attention tomorrow morning *hint hint!*
Also realized that I didn't tell you how I put this together. I purchased Rust-Oleum magnetic primer and chalkboard paint at either Home Depot or Lowes-I can't remember which. Those two blur together in my head. It was probably about 30 bucks for the 2 cans, but I'll be able to do many projects with both. Well worth the money. You can also get the chalkboard tinted in a few other colors-I just preferred black.
And if you want to go the make-your-own way, I've done that too. It's just for the chalkboard paint though, and is posted here.

Almost finished with my very first make-this-house-a-home project. First thing on the walls, believe it or not! I used magnetic primer and chalkboard paint, although I have to wait a day or two more to condition and then start writing with the chalk. Looks like the magnets work, though. 🙂 I used painters tape and have a bit of clean-up work to do around the edges, but I like how it came out.
It's not a great picture-but my only non glary, non fuzzy one. (Took it during the worst possible lighting moment of the day, of course!) It's in our kitchen on the dining room side. I have scads of chalkboard paint left, which I'll use in the boy's playroom.
Oh, and my "Sea Spray Blue" which graces the walls of our kitchen/dining room/living room has turned decidedly green. It's a pretty color, but not at all what I was going for, so it's back to square one. Poor Erick used all of Labor Day painting, so I feel terrible to have to re-do. But if we don't do it soon, it's just not gonna happen!
As you can see we still have many details to cover-switchplates and chair rail, to say the least. Under the chalkboard, we are going to eventually build some built-in seating which will wrap around 3 sides of our eventual table. LOL. Eventual is the operative word. 😉
Happy Monday!

Amy Butler Fabric, Antonia's Pizzeria, August Fields, Falmouth Foreside, Freeport, Maine, Portland, Portsmouth, wall e
Have you seen Amy Butler's new fabric? Verrrrry purty.
We've been busy little bees this week. Tuesday we took Erick's bro to the airport in Portland-it was kind of late so we didn't do much wandering, but we DID stop at Homegoods. Can you believe I'd never been to a Homegoods store? I bought some plates and a little storage until for my plethora of magazines. Yay for the prices! We then took 88 through Falmouth Forside so we I could salivate over all of the amazing houses on that route, and ended up at Antonia's Pizzeria in Freeport. Good eats, people. Oh, and we discovered our car was leaking oil like a sieve, so it has an appointment next Tuesday with the doc. *sigh* We are hoping it isn't too sick!
Wednesday we ended up at Papa and Nonnie's. We had tacos and sopapillas then we all walked to the movie theater and watched Wall e. The boys were THRILLED. It was Ry's second movie and Jack's first; they were super and loved every minute (Jack tried SO hard, but couldn't stay awake all the way through). We spent the night and woke up to waffles with strawberries, bacon, and coffee. Then Erick and I headed out with a borrowed truck and picked up the first of our kitchen cabinets and countertops! We have to start off small, but at least it will be something. Our stove arrives this weekend, so after that gets here and we get another coat of paint in the kitchen, Erick will be tearing out the old and putting in the new. Honey, I just can't wait to use my dishwasher that has been sitting in a box for the last week! We also bought the paint for our kitchen floor and our bedroom walls.
We are waiting to view an August Field or two of our own; the next semi-unrainy day, mom and dad and Erick and I will head to Portsmouth NH to be a little touristy ourselves. I'm hoping tomorrow works! Sunday at the very least. I'm ready to spend a day without thinking about anything house wise (except possible decoration, of course). 😉

Ok, so one picture. I'm working on a few things for the house, and this project has been pretty fun. I've searched antique markets from here to the coast, picked up old bottles, and painted the insides. The higher priced paint (red, turquoise, and darker green) leaves them fairly opaque…the cheap stuff leaves them pretty translucent. I'm gonna work with the cheaper stuff again, see what I can do. Although I do like the see through effect…just not the blotchiness.
I'm working on a painting, too…not completely satisfied with it yet. Will post someday. 🙂
In the meantime, Maine State Housing is sending an appraiser by next week to see if we have accomplished everything that they want us to accomplish. It's probably in the small print somewhere (in that huge pile of paperwork that you sign at closing) but we just didn't realize we were on such a tight deadline. Luckily Erick's last day of work is today, so for the next few days we will be living/eating/breathing home stuff. It's stressful, but good motivation, I guess. Gotta look on the bright side, ya know. But prayers that we could accomplish everything to their satisfaction, ON time, would be a great thing. One thing we know? If we could go back, we would SO NOT go with the state housing program. It really bites the big one. 😉

Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in a joint.
In the UK, around 10 million people have arthritis. It affects people of all ages, including children.
Types of arthritis
The two most common types of arthritis are:
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the UK, affecting around 8 million people.
It most often develops in adults who are in their late 40s or older. It's also more common in women and people with a family history of the condition. However, it can occur at any age as a result of an injury or be associated with other joint-related conditions, such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the joint. This makes movement more difficult than usual, leading to pain and stiffness.
Once the cartilage lining starts to roughen and thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to work harder. This can cause swelling and the formation of bony spurs, called osteophytes.
Severe loss of cartilage can lead to bone rubbing on bone, altering the shape of the joint and forcing the bones out of their normal position.
The most commonly affected joints are those in the:
Rheumatoid arthritis
In the UK, rheumatoid arthritis affects more than 400,000 people. It often starts when a person is between 40 and 50 years old. Women are three times more likely to be affected than men.
Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis are two different conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body's immune system targets affected joints, which leads to pain and swelling.
The outer covering (synovium) of the joint is the first place affected. This can then spread across the joint, leading to further swelling and a change in the joint's shape. This may cause the bone and cartilage to break down.
People with rheumatoid arthritis can also develop problems with other tissues and organs in their body.
Other types of arthritis and related conditions
Symptoms of arthritis
The symptoms of arthritis you experience will vary depending on the type you have.
This is why it's important to have an accurate diagnosis if you have:
Arthritis and children
Arthritis is often associated with older people, but it can also affect children. In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Although the exact cause of JIA is unknown, the symptoms often improve as a child gets older, meaning they can lead a normal life.
The main types of JIA are discussed below. Arthritis Research UK has more information about the different types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Oligo-articular JIA
Oligo-articular JIA is the most common type of JIA. It affects fewer than five joints in the body – most commonly in the knees, ankles and wrists.
Oligo-articular JIA has good recovery rates and long-term effects are rare. However, there's a risk that children with the condition may develop eye problems, so regular eye tests with an ophthalmologist (eye care specialist) are recommended.
Polyarticular JIA (polyarthritis)
Polyarticular JIA, or polyarthritis, affects five or more joints. It can develop at any age during childhood.
The symptoms of polyarticular JIA are similar to the symptoms of adult rheumatoid arthritis. The condition is often accompanied by a rash and a high temperature of 38C (100.4F) or above.
Systemic onset JIA
Systemic onset JIA begins with symptoms such as a fever, rash, lethargy (a lack of energy) and enlarged glands. Later on, joints can become swollen and inflamed.
Like polyarticular JIA, systemic onset JIA can affect children of any age.
Enthesitis-related arthritis
Enthesitis-related arthritis is a type of juvenile arthritis that affects older boys or teenagers. It can cause pain in the soles of the feet and around the knee and hip joints, where the ligaments attach to the bone.
Treating arthritis
There's no cure for arthritis, but there are many treatments that can help slow down the condition.
For osteoarthritis, medications are often prescribed, including:
In severe cases, the following surgical procedures may be recommended:
Read more about how osteoarthritis is treated.
Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis aims to slow down the condition's progress and minimise joint inflammation or swelling. This is to try and prevent damage to the joints. Recommended treatments include:

Further information and support
Read more information about:
Living with arthritis isn't easy and carrying out simple, everyday tasks can often be painful and difficult.
However, there are many things you can do to make sure you live a healthy lifestyle. A range of services and benefits are also available.
Many people with arthritis want to continue working for many reasons, including better financial security and higher self-esteem.
Improved treatment approaches have helped ensure that many people who are diagnosed with arthritis can return to work. This is particularly the case if arthritis is diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
You may find work challenging, but your employer should help you with the training and support you need.
Help is also available if your arthritis is so severe that you're unable to work. Find out more about the Personal Independence Payment (formerly known as the Disability Living Allowance).
Arthritis Care has more useful information about working with arthritis.
Healthy eating
It's very important to eat a healthy, balanced diet if you have arthritis. Eating healthily will give you all the nutrients you need and help you maintain a healthy weight.
Your diet should consist of a variety of foods from all five food groups. These are:
Read more about how to have a healthy, balanced diet.
If you're overweight, losing weight can really help you cope with arthritis. Too much weight places excess pressure on the joints in your hips, knees, ankles and feet, leading to increased pain and mobility problems.
Read more about how you can lose weight.
If your arthritis is painful, you may not feel like exercising. However, being active can help reduce and prevent pain. Regular exercise can also:
As long as you do the right type and level of exercise for your condition, your arthritis won't get any worse. Combined with a healthy, balanced diet (see above), regular exercise will help you lose weight and place less strain on your joints.
Your GP can advise about the type and level of exercise that's right for you. You can also download useful free booklets from Arthritis Care and Arthritis Research UK, including:
Joint care
If you have arthritis, it's important to look after your joints so there's no further damage. For example, try to reduce the stress on your joints while carrying out everyday tasks like moving and lifting.
Some tips for protecting your joints, particularly if you have arthritis, include:
The Arthritis Care website has more information and advice about taking care of your joints.
It's also important to avoid sitting in the same position for long periods of time and to take regular breaks so you can move around.
At home
If you have arthritis, carrying out tasks around the home can be a challenge. However, making some practical changes to your home and changing the way you work should make things easier.
Practical tips that could help include:
You can find more useful information and advice about living independently at home on Arthritis Care.
Occupational therapy
An occupational therapist can help if you have severe arthritis that's affecting your ability to move around your home and carry out everyday tasks, such as cooking and cleaning.
They can advise about equipment you may need to help you live independently.
Depending on the exact nature of your condition, your GP may be able to refer you to an NHS occupational therapist. However, you may need to access this type of therapy through your local council.
Find your local authority on GOV.WALES
Read more about occupational therapy.
Does acupuncture help?
Some people with osteoarthritis say that acupuncture has helped relieve their symptoms.
However, if you wish to try it, bear in mind that any benefits of acupuncture are likely to be the result of expectation or the placebo effect.
The lack of evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture is why health watchdog NICE doesn't recommend it for treating osteoarthritis.
Arthritis and driving
You only need to inform the DVLA if you have arthritis and use special controls for driving.
GOV.UK has more information and advice about telling the DVLA about a medical condition or disability.

June 11 23:40
Felt fine today, so I think that oog was because I tried some rice dish that must have had meat juice in it. my main problem today is that the toilet paper here is killing me! I knownit's tmi, but it's like wiping your butt with notebook paper.
Today was cold! Cloudy all day and a cold wind. Where is the desert weather I was promised? The pool was a ghost town most of the day. A few brave souls were out there bundled under towels and blankets.
We were supposed to go zip-lining early in the morning, but we decided against it. I bet it would have been really cold and windy up there. I woke up at 6 am regardless. My body never switches off eastern time. I read and studied Spanish when Danny dozed. For most of the day we just read and enjoyed the sound of the ocean. I braved the balcony for a while wrapped up in a blanket.
When I finished my book, I repacked my suitcase. I am super anal about packing. Everything gets put in bags in my bag because I can't stand everything to get jumbled.
After dinner, we took a cab to Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo. We got there at 7:30 and had to wait a while to get in to the main club. We got a table once they opened and settled in to wait for the live band. Two hours later, I was so ready to go, but Dan kept changing the time he said we'd wait till. The band came on at 10:30 and I wasn't that excited and them. Maybe if I was drunk? Perhaps that is why they wait to go on… Thankfully, Danny was finally ready to go.
Now we are finally in bed bit I'm way too keyed up to sleep yet. Annoying, because I'm really tired. Danny has a bunch of drinks in him to help him sleep, so he's already out.
We fly back to CA tomorrow afternoon.

Alone in the world and struggling to make ends meet, Texas war widow Sarah Winborne will do anything to keep her two small children safe and her hard-won ranch from going under.

He makes her feel desired. He makes her feel like a woman again. And even though their marriage was never intended to be more than a matter of convenience, as Benton stands between her small family and the wild and dangerous West, Sarah may just realize that the cowboy she married is the love she never dreamed she would find...

Vikki's Musings
I received an offer from the publisher via Net-Galley, to read this book in exchange for an honest review. The book description sounded interesting, so I decided to accept. I always enjoy western romance set in the later part of the 19th century and No One But You is an excellent example of that sub-genre.
Sarah Winborne, a young widow, is at her wit's end. The string of cow hands she'd had since her husband did not return from the War Between the States never stick around long enough to help her save her ranch. Her plan is to find a hard-working older man and offer him a marriage of convenience. Once the ranch turns around, they will divorce and she will give him half her ranch.
When she meets Benton Wheeler at the Randolph Ranch, he is not what she is looking for. The man is far too attractive and young, but when it comes time to make her decision, she finds herself uttering his name.
Can Sarah resist the charms of this handsome cowboy and keep her heart intact, or will she discover, maybe Salty is actually the perfect partner?
This is a typical western romance, the relationship grows gently between Sarah and Salty, and the pacing is nice and steady. There is an interesting twist at the end, and I enjoyed that quite a lot because it was so unexpected.
Sarah is a pleasant heroine. She is determined to protect her children and is willing to sacrifice her freedom to accomplish her goals. She has every reason to distrust men after her experiences with her late husband, but she is soft-hearted and aches to have the love of a good man. I enjoyed her blossoming character under Salty's considerate attention.
Benton "Salty" Wheeler is a great hero, and the perfect man for Sarah. I loved the care and concern he shows to Jared, Sarah's young boy, who has a physical disability. He gives the boy exactly what he needs to feel independent. He's also great with the feisty Ellen, Jared's twin sister.
If you enjoy taking a step back into the past where cowboys are a little rough around the edges, yet honest and good men, then you will enjoy No One But You. I'm glad I had an opportunity to read this entertaining romance. Happy reading!
An Excerpt:
"Do you like Salty?" Jared asked.
The question punctured her thoughts. The unexpectedness of it was like a physical blow. "Of course I do. I wouldn't have married him if I hadn't."
"You said you only married because you had to."
"Yes, but I wouldn't have married a man I didn't like or didn't trust."
Jared had finished setting the table and putting out the bowls for the food, but he hadn't put out the glasses. "Do you want him to stay after he fixes things so we won't starve? He said he couldn't get the land until you divorce him."
Sarah didn't know what had prompted Jared to ask these questions. She had always tried to be forthcoming with the children, but maybe she'd told them too much. "That's a long way in the future."
"Would you let him stay if he wants to?"
Sarah dragged her attention back to the stove. She moved the potatoes off the heat and checked the bottom of the cornbread to make sure it hadn't burned. "Why are you asking this?"
"Because I want Salty to stay. Forever."
Sarah forgot her potatoes and cornbread. She looked at her son. "Do you like him that much already?"
"I wish he could be my papa. Arnie said he wanted to be my papa, but I didn't want him. I want Salty."
Sarah pulled her son close and gave him a swift hug. "Honey, I know how important your crutch is to you, but anybody could have made you one."
"But nobody did."
And Salty had indeed made one, had made it a priority despite staying up all night. He'd taken them to eat in a restaurant, bought them a dog, and let them stay in a hotel. No wonder Jared wanted him to stay.
"He might decide to sell his land once he gets it," she cautioned.
"He won't." It wasn't a question. It wasn't even an opinion. Jared spoke as though his belief were an established fact.
"Why do you think that?"
"He doesn't like Mr. Wallace."
"Did he say so?"
"No, but I can tell."
And that apparently settled the question for Jared, because he started setting out glasses.
Sarah hadn't let herself think about what Salty might do when it came time to sign over half of the ranch; not lately. He had become part of her plans nearly as quickly as he had done for Jared. She was more attracted to him than ever. But that's not what worried her. She liked him. That wasn't in her plans.
It was okay to like him as a co-worker. It was okay to like him as a friend. It was even okay for her to start to depend on him for physical labor, seeing as he was her husband. However, it was not okay to want him around all the time. It wasn't okay to think of him touching her, holding her, even kissing her.
She'd been on edge so long she probably wasn't thinking clearly. She was simply grateful to find someone who might actually solve her problems. As a result, she had started thinking she'd like him to stay around forever. But was she so grateful, so relieved, she'd forgotten what her father was like, or Roger? Had she forgotten the men who'd worked for her, who were more interested in getting into her bed than in doing the work they were paid to do? Rose Randolph might have found a man she could love in a fairy-tale way, but Sarah didn't trust any man that much.
But, maybe she could take him as a lover?
The thought shocked her so much she nearly dropped the pan of cornbread she was taking off the stove. She'd never had such a thought in her life. What was wrong with her? But the thought of being held and kissed by Salty caused her temperature to rise. Something deep inside her longed for the physical contact, and it wasn't just a sense of safety she might find in his arms. She sought something much more fundamental, something she hadn't felt with Roger or any other man. It was as though she needed him. She could understand want, could even understand lust, but where had need come from? It wasn't physical. She could take care of herself. It was an emotional need, one she'd never been able to fulfill, only deny.
"Hurry up with the cornbread, Mama. Ellen and Salty are almost here."
Sarah's impulse was to run to her bedroom. How could she face Salty with her thoughts in such disarray? She stood frozen while the pair entered the house. Then she did something she'd never done before. She fainted.

Richard de Largie D'Alton of Australia asks this question. "Are there any d'Altons out there or are most of the members dropping the 'apostrophe' from their name?" In response we have assembled some French references that occured both in England and in the U.S. in the 19th Century.
Daltons who were born in France have been extracted from the 1881 Census of Great Britain and from the 1880 Census of the U. S. In just one case was the apostrophe (D'Alton) recorded. This entry can be located in the Ellis Island Index at the end of this article.

Our backyard neighbors have a beautiful flowering tree in the corner of their fenced yard. I know this because the tree's branches are covered in amazing, pink blossoms that flow over the top and down the outside of the fence for our enjoyment. As far as I know our neighbors never deliberately chose to have these flowery branches spill over into our view. In fact, I'm quite certain they simply planted a tree for their own pleasure, watered it and nurtured it. They're probably not aware of how the tree looks from our side of the fence or how we enjoy it every time we look out a back window or spend time in our backyard. One morning as I read my Bible on the patio I looked over at the tree and the words of Jesus came to mind…
"A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart..." (Luke 6:45 NIV)
When we take time to nurture our walk with God and cultivate a relationship with Jesus, his grace, truth and joy flow out of us and into a hurting world. We don't need to force it. Like our neighbor's tree it just happens. The natural result of a real and vibrant relationship with God is lives being touched by the overflow. Whether you're a school teacher, nurse, construction worker, cab driver, waiter, etc., if you have a genuine relationship with Christ you have a ministry. If you don't have that relationship you don't have a ministry, regardless of any title, ordination papers or religious activity leading you to believe otherwise.
So go ahead and nurture your walk with God. Make it your highest priority. As He works in you He'll also work through you. Your job is simple…
1) Enjoy Him
2) Let it overflow
"Ministry blossoms naturally in holy lives" ~ J.I. Packer

Dubai International Digital Asset Exchange (DBEX) has completed a pre-A round of investment from 19 leading global and Chinese investors including Sino-Burmese Fund, Hanfor Capital Management and Shangshan Wealth and Investment.
The pre-A round investment is worth hundreds of millions of RMB. It is one of the largest such investments for a new blockchain project in recent months.
The significant investment marks an important milestone for DBEX, as it forges ahead with plans to launch a glamorous brick-and-mortar cryptocurrency exchange located on the 151st floor of Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world`s tallest building.
With an office of 3,800 sq m on top of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) at Burj Khalifa, which is the world`s tallest building at 828 meters, DBEX aims to bring a Nasdaq-style exchange to the digital asset universe and to provide a venue that will define the future of digital asset exchanges.
DBEX is the world`s first major physical digital asset exchange and is backed by Dubai-based The Blockchain Group. It will provide a world-class audit system as well as over one hundred relevant listing standards for cryptocurrencies that will be listed on its exchange.
With an independent blockchain research and assessment system, DBEX will analyze projects` whitepapers, application scenarios, technology, founding teams, probability for application and progress to achieve multi-dimensional evaluations. This will create an exchange where only the highest-quality tokens can be listed.
In addition to adopting top-level security standards for unlimited scalability, super server farms and information processing technologies, DBEX is also cooperating with Bairun Baicheng Group, a leading company in the electronic identity information encryption and authentication field, and Silicon Valley Blockchain Institute.
With these partnerships, DBEX hopes to build a trust mechanism based on digital asset transaction identification, so that user information and transaction data are processed through three layers of encryption to achieve security protections on par with central banks. This will create DBEX`s unique advantages in the cryptocurrency exchange space.
"I am pleased to share today`s exciting news as our team continues to work toward building a world-class digital asset exchange that`s different from anything the world has seen before," said Ahmed Abdullah Mohammed Al Sharif, chairman of DBEX.
"We are strong believers of the potential of blockchain technology and the future of digital assets, and DBEX will become a central venue where innovation in blockchain is recognized just as how Nasdaq provides a stage for the brightest moments of IPO for technology companies."
DBEX is in the process of completing more investment rounds to support beta testing, third-party security audit, code review, global node announcement, and official launch of the digital asset exchange in Dubai during the fall 2018.
Before the end of the year, DBEX aims to be in full operation, with third-party wallet integration, iOS and Android app releases completed.
DBEX is one of the major investment projects of The Blockchain Group. The Blockchain Group has a strategic partnership with The Future Blockchain Summit and its organizer Smart Dubai Office, and is aiming to work closely with various government entities.
Established in Dubai, The Blockchain Group has two major business units: global blockchain project incubation services and digital asset exchanges. At present, the incubator program has entered the last stage of preparation and will soon be available to blockchain projects around the world.

Fanboys – Movie Review
It's 1998 and Star Wars Fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of Episode I. But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows the term "fanboy" is more than just a title, it's a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies.
"This movie has its heart in the right place, but I am not too sure who is going to see it. Five friends decide to make a cross-country (Star Wars inspired) trip for a terminally ill friend. Some of it was very appealing but it wasn't very well directed, which is a shame."

Since its release on Sunday it has been watched almost 200,000 times on YouTube. However, many viewers commented that the three-minute clip gives too much of the plot away, so those hoping to save some surprises for the cinema may wish to look away now.
