Okay, I'm going to say it. Horror films CAN be rated PG-13 and still be effective. Sure, the rating limits the use of gory effects, but if the atmosphere is right and the story is strong enough, the movie will work. And Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark does work. It's creepy, dark and very entertaining. And it's a great gateway film for young horror fans.
Just a quick word of warning. Don't go in expecting a Guillermo del Toro film. While his name is attached to the film, it's not his movie. He produced the film, and does share a story credit with two others, but as with 2010's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, he found a director who shares his sensibilities in André Øvredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe), who delivers a creepy, dark tale dealing about facing one's fears. At least, that's the sense I got from the conclusion, but it doesn't really work. More on that later.
Although facing this damn thing is going to be hard for anyone,
even a horror fan.
The film takes place on Halloween night in a small Pennsylvania town in 1968. Amateur horror writer Stella (Zoe Margaret Colletti) and her friends Auggie (Gabriel Rush) and Chuck (Austin Zajur) incur the wrath of local bully Tommy (Austin Abrams). But his plans against the group are thwarted by Ramon (Micheal Garza), who just drove into town.
The four head to a local haunted house, which is a GREAT idea on Halloween night. Of course, they find a book of scary stories owned by Sarah Bellows, the family daughter who's been removed from all the family photos. Tommy follows them and locks them in the room along with his girlfriend, Chuck's sister Ruth (Natalie Ganzhorn). Some unseen presence released them and the group leaves, with the freaking book! For being a horror writer, Stella seems to have missed the point that one never leaves a haunted location with ANYTHING.
Dammit, Stella, you should know better.
Don't EVER take something out of a haunted house!
It NEVER ends well!!
Don't EVER take something out of a haunted house!
It NEVER ends well!!
Later that night, Stella discovers a new story being written in Sarah's book, with Tommy as the main character. And soon, Tommy is attacked by a scarecrow and is reported missing the next day. Stella and Ramon head to Tommy's home, only to find his clothes on a new scarecrow in the cornfield.
Okay, I get it. Scarecrows in a dark cornfield are scary, but probably not to someone living on a corn farm.
Unless the scarecrow looks like it was made by Ed Gein.
Okay, I have to confess that I have not read the books this movie is based upon. Published in the 80s, I was already devouring the glut of adult horror books flooding the market and wasn't aware these books existed. But I am aware of the controversies these books continue to generate, as author Alvin Schwartz didn't shy away from some violent content, and the illustrations by Stephen Gammell are pretty horrific. But not reading the source material won't hamper your enjoyment of these dark tales.
However, it does bring up one small problem. As the stories appear in Sarah's book, the film cuts to the mayhem occurring to the character written into the tale. For those who haven't read Schwartz's books, we get no history of the creature, why they exists, and why a particular character is being hunted by it. As many of the stories in the books are based on folklore tales and urban legends, the monsters probably exist to impart a moral to the reader. But the film moves too fast in introducing the creatures to their victims, without explaining why the attack is happening to a character.
Okay, I know I'm being attacked by a very scary creature.
But I just have to ask, why me? And why this big, doughy thing?
And, thankfully, the film isn't over-reliant on jump scares. Sure, like all horror films, it has a few, but once they appear on the screen, the creatures tend to stay out in the open, rather than lurking in the shadows waiting to leap out of the darkness. And it's nice to see some characters react to the monsters in a very human fashion. Seriously, who among us, if we were armed, wouldn't unload a pistol into a dismembered, living human head? Sure, the results aren't as effective as the character would hope, but it's a very human reaction and a nice touch.
As Jack Burton would say,
you never know until you try!
In fact, the most horrific moment of the film isn't visual. As Stella tries to stop her friends from being attacked by the monsters written into the book, she finds a recording of Sarah's electroshock therapy performed by her brother to keep her from telling the truth about the Bellow's mill, which is poisoning the town. It's basically a torture scene and the audio is powerful, more terrifying than the monsters Sarah now creates. And without any visual cues, the audience is allowed to imagine the scene, which ends up being more horrific than any filmed depiction of the procedure.
Okay, I said earlier that the film is about facing one's fears, and the ending does deal with it somewhat. Ramon is shown facing his fear, which is portrayed in the monster he faces earlier. But Stella's friends simply meet with terrifying monsters that have no connection with their limited character development. And, as one character recovers from their ordeal without showing any sign that they faced their obvious fear, the conclusion to Ramon's story is lessened. Rather than being a morality tale, which is common with most folktales, the stories/attacks are simply little more than an excuse to bring the book's monsters to life, and the film's conclusion suffers from it.
Okay, it's an obvious fear for teens to have that a massive zit will pop up at the worst time possible.
Too bad it's the 60s, or she might have been able to faced that fear on YouTube.
Of course, the film ends on a somewhat happy note, which, as expected, sets up a sequel. I don't know how the filmmakers could pull that off, as the story with Sarah has reached its conclusion. But I'd be happy to see More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark show up at my local cinema at some point.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will please fans who read the books when they were young, as the monsters on the screen are good representations of Gammell's illustrations. And for adults who missed out on the books, the film will make you want to check out Schwartz's work to see what you missed. As for the kids, it's a perfect gateway film for budding horror fans, terrifying without being overly gory. You just might want to abandon the suggesting in the title and leave a light on for the younger ones.
And maybe for a few hours afterwards.
Just saying.

Introduction: Painted Leather Earrings
Do you like leather accessories? I have seen some interesting ideas on ETSY. & I realize some of those were not even difficult to try, So I have done it..Lets see the tutorial.
You will need;
Mod Podge
Acrylic paints & brushes
Earring hooks
beads,jump ring & velvet band for necklace
Step 1: DIY Leather Earrings/Pendant
Cut the leather according to the pattern size.
Start painting on leather & wait until it will get dry totally.I paint something seems like truck art inspired
And if you want some more shine, use plaid extreme glitter & apply a thin layer.
Stitch from middle & then cut it
carefully,dont make thin cuts, if any piece will be separated from earrings, your hole project can be ruined..
Step 2:
Add the hook here,you can also pour some
glue here to fix it perfect but if you wanna convert it sometimes as a pendant,then don't fix permanent.
Step 3:
I was trying to paint any motive like
truck art designs,but it was a tiny space for making vivid motives,so the Leaf design is better
Step 4:
Isn't it one cool idea of a feather earring? I know it's a bit bigger in ear but you can transform it into a necklace too. Give it a try & have fun!

Jerry Jones is very happy the Dallas Cowboys don't have to play Odell Beckham Jr. twice a year anymore.
The electric receiver was recently shipped clean out of the NFC East from the Giants to the Browns. That made Jones a very happy man. (RELATED: New York Giants Trade Odell Beckham Jr. To The Cleveland Browns)
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you," the Cowboys owner said Saturday prior to the Errol Spence vs. Mikey Garcia fight at AT&T Stadium when discussing Beckham getting traded out of the division, according to The New York Post.
Yeah, I can't disagree with Jones on this one. There's not a defense on the planet that enjoys covering ODB. There's just not. The man is insanely talented on the football field.
Sure, the Giants haven't been on the same level as the Cowboys lately, but that doesn't mean you want to play any team scheming up plays with the gifted receiving star.
I'm sure Jones isn't the only one in Texas that feels the same way. I'm assuming he probably speaks for most fans of the organization.
Now, the only question is whether or not the Cowboys can make some noise this year. Given Jones' excitement, I think the answer is yes.

Rotary Stories: Computers for the World in Antigua
For the month of December, we will be sharing stories of great Rotary projects being done around the globe. This week, we are highlighting Computers for the World, a Rotary district 5030 District program that has been running for over 15 years. When I was an Ambassadorial Scholar in Montevideo, Uruguay, I worked with C4W to bring over 200 workstations to install in schools, community centers, and orphanages across Uruguay. It made a huge impact on the lives of those who gained computer skills, but also on the lives of the students who came to Uruguay to install the computers. Below is a excerpt from the website with more information about the program, as well as a short video that talks about the great project work being done in Antigua.
If you have a Rotary story you want to share, please email it to me.
Computers for the World (C4W) creates a platform for exchange among people by supplying information technology to the international community. With this platform, they provide for better learning, communication, and sharing of information and ideas that help people participate in the global community, while simultaneously letting students gain real world experiences in leadership, organization and international relations.
This program is designed to create an educational medium to educate the students in an interdisciplinary field of technology and education. This program will create a level of sophistication that will allow students to have an interactive multi-educational experience. Those students are an integral part of C4W projects that empower them to have college-level job skills, in technology, leadership and project management skills when they graduate from high school.
The substance of the program is to obviate the technical divide and to empower those within the program to be educated for technical high paying skilled employment and other areas where they can use the skills learned in our programs. This is our C4W mission.
Lab In a Box
C4W is proud to have partnered with InterConnection in creating a Lab in a Box where any person can take a whole computer lab as small as 6 stations with unlimited potential for future expansion with them to an approved C4W project. The box contains 5 workstations and one station for the teacher. From the main station, the teacher can project lessons to all other computers, monitor all activity, and provide guidance as needed.
The whole lab packs into a box that can be checked in with your luggage or shipped relatively inexpensively. With this Lab in a Box we are now able to amplify our effectiveness while cutting costs. We will now be able to send an entire lab, whereas before we could only send 1 computer.
Computers for the World
C4W was started in 1998 by Emerald City Rotary Club (Seattle), Garfield High School Interact Students, Rotarians and Technology Teachers at Garfield High School in Seattle. Student participants are Rotaract and Interact members with technical, linguistic or leadership skills, and the determination to help those in need. In 2000 this program became a Rotary District 5030 Project. In 2001 the program was expanded to include Ballard High School in Seattle.
Between 2002 and 2004 several new schools were brought into the program, they are: Mount Si High School in North Bend WA, Truman High School in Federal Way WA, Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue, WA, Skyline in Issaquah, Newport in Bellevue.
The Rotary clubs that have been involved in this program are: Sammamish, Issaquah, North Seattle, Mercer Island, Snoqualmie Valley, Kirkland, Federal Way, Rush Hour, West Seattle, Seattle Four, Des Monies, Ballard Rotary, Bellevue Lunch, Bellevue Breakfast and Emerald City Rotary Clubs, and there are many others who have helped with individual projects, supporting the various project teams and C4W.
Many organizations have been involved along the way such as Group Health Cooperative, Premera, Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, Alaska Airlines, Boeing, United Airlines, Rotary International, Seattle Public Schools and many others have contributed to this program.
Past Projects
Computers have been sent already to Belize, The Gambia, Colima, Mexico; Gatchina, and Petropavlovsk, Kamchatsky, Gatchina Saratov and Balashov Russia; Tbilisi, Georgia; Ethiopia, Mozambique, Poland, Philippines, Guatemala, India, Navajo Nation, Uruguay and Uganda to serve as teaching tools in rural elementary schools, middle schools, technical universities and orphanages. The trips to Maputo, Mozambique, Lodz, Poland, Montevideo Uruguary and Guatemala City, Guatemala used the Rotary Foundation Matching Grant Program.
Current and Past Business Partners
Major Seattle-area business partners InterConnection, Group Health Cooperative, Blue Cross, Microsoft, the Gates Foundation, Alaska Airlines, Boeing, United Airlines, Seattle-area Rotary clubs, Seattle Public Schools, and many others have contributed computers, software licenses, funds, air miles, and more. Other businesses are encouraged to contribute in the future.

How to set up a SPORTSBOOK business
When traders decide to set up retail
stores, there are a number of factors
that need to be considered before
proceeding. It may sound good to own a
shop and be the boss but it is essential
to realise that the retail business
industry is highly competitive. If a
trader plans to star the business with
his/her life savings, then it is better
to give it a second thought as this
decision isn't a good one. In the
beginning, a number of businesses find
it difficult to remain afloat. However,
if a person has extra money which can be
spared to start a business, then it is
not a bad idea at all to start a retail
business. The first thing to be done is
to purchase a POS terminal or point of
sale terminal, which will help in
kick-starting your business.
The first thing that a trader needs to
decide after planning to start a retail
business is the type of goods that will
be sold. There are a variety of goods
that can be sold when a retail store is
set up, but it is vital to choose the
avenue best suited for you. Hence, it is
necessary to keep all ideas open while
browsing through catalogues for getting
good ideas.
There are will quite a few hindrances
that a person might face while opening
up a retail store. A trader can either
choose to operate the point of sale
system all by himself or appoint someone
to do so. The store owner has the option
of hiring whoever they wish to.
Moreover, retail store owners also get
the benefit of vacation season shoppers.
The idea of being the boss and having
your own rules could be quite appealing
to many, but there are certain
not-so-appealing aspects about retail
shops that need to be taken into
consideration. Non performing employees
need to be fired which is not a pleasant
situation to be in. Moreover, retail
store owners need to put up with
unpleasant consumers who may leave the
store and not visit the store again.
Hence, it is the responsibility of
retail store owners to keep consumer
needs in mind. Moreover, since the
consumer is the king, the job of the
retail store owner is to treat all their
consumers well since repeat customers
will prove to be beneficial to the
The retail store owner is the one who
needs to bear costs of setup, including
up front costs and point of sale scanner
costs. The POS equipment is essential
since they add to the profits. One must
remember that though the POS equipment
does not directly increase profit
margins, it plays a vital role in
managing the business. This in turn will
help in the efficient working of the
retail store and increase profit levels.
To start a retail business, a person
needs to have a good attitude towards
his/her business which will help in
building the business and taking it to
the next level. Contact
one of our helpful account
representatives to assist you in the
setup of
high risk merchant account or
offshore merchant account for a
high risk merchant.

The #1 question your friendly Gold Enthusiast is getting this week is: Is it too late to buy gold?
With the big pop on Wednesday, a lot of people are wondering if there are still reasonable entry points for a gold trade. As always we can "start with the chart":
(credit Fidelity.com)
This is the 1-month chart for GLD, our US market gold trading proxy. For convenience, we've drawing in the current horizontal level lines and indicated where range traders would look for short-term trading ranges.
What the chart shows is there were two distinct "bumps up", both happening so fast that the traditional rules aren't quite satisfied yet. And that always leads to an extra degree of uncertainty.
The latest moves are lacking in the 3-day-rule area. You see, horizontal trading levels in Western charts are set according to 3 very basic criteria:
1. Tops and bottoms in ranges
2. 3 periods' worth of candles
3. OR cycle highs and lows
#2 is where the current chart loses out. Both the Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday-Thursday "new ranges" are only 2 days old. And, the big gap between Tuesday and Wednesday means we can't use them for the same range.
This gets us back to the original question – Is it too late to buy gold? A trader would always restate this question as:
WHERE are my good entry points?
Fortunately, this chart does answer those questions. The first rule of buying is: Only buy something when it's rising. (Otherwise it's falling, and why would you pay more now than you can in a foreseeable later? haha!)
So we want to look for places where "rising up through" would trigger a buy. Those are easy to see once the level lines are drawn in, which we've done for you in this chart.
In rising order, the current chart levels for GLD are 137, 139, 141, and 142.45. Buy points would be when a day starts below a level line then rises up through a line during the trading day. Stops would be placed below the buying level to protect against fallbacks.
Keep in mind that a rise above the current high on a chart is considered a breakout trade, as long as the total time is shown by the chart is "reasonably long". Since the high shown on this chart is also the 52-week high, the level at 141.45 certainly meets the criteria.
With GLD trading around 140 points per share and moving around 2 points per day (aka ATR), you don't want to make your stops too tight. In fact, you may want to trade a smaller share size than usual and set your stop below the next level down to make sure you don't get "shaken out" by a small intraday move – while keeping your risk reasonable.
Your Gold Enthusiast is currently watching for trades with these parameters.

Another "ONE" to Watch
I got a new movie in the mail this week and have already watched it twice. It's called ONE: The Movie and I'm looking forward to watching it with some friends in the very near future - it's always more fun to see movies that really make you think with a group of trusted friends, and this is surely one of those movies.
The producers of the movie - who had no prior film experience - started out wanting to ask everyday people some profound questions. However, as the project gathered steam, people like Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, and Thich Nhat Hanh heard about it and wanted to get involved.
Check out the trailer here. How would you answer some of these questions?
1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world?
2. What is the relationship between science and religion?
3. Why are so many people depressed?
4. What are we all so afraid of?
5. When is war justifiable?
6. How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism?
7. How does one obtain true peace?
8. What does it mean to live in the present moment?
9. What is our greatest distraction?
10. Is current religion serving its purpose?
11. What happens to you after you die?
12. Describe Heaven and how to get there.
13. What is the meaning of life?
14. Describe God.
15. What is the greatest quality humans possess?
16. What is it that prevents people from living to their full potential?
17. Non-verbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world.
18. What is your one wish for the world?
19. What is wisdom, and how do we gain it?
20. Are we all One?

Is your doctor prepared for the questions we're not asking our pastors?
Recent research indicates that most Americans do not consult clergy when making major life decisions. Who then are we asking? We're asking our doctors. Doctors increasingly field questions about all kinds of life decisions because the stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, weight gain, depression, abuse, identity issues we experience affect our health. Dr. David Stevens from the Christian Medical and Dental Association shares from his own clinical experience. He also addresses the rising trend of suicide among America's most senior adults and what each of us can do to intervene today.
Joshua Harris announced on social meeting that he was ending his marriage – followed by an announcement that he no longer identifies as a Christian – then he participated in a pro-LGBTQ affirming march. How do we respond when a fellow Christian departs so thoroughly from the fellowship of believers and the faith? And how do we redeem marriage in a culture where purity is mocked by those who once advocated for it? Peter Kapsner joins Carmen for this important conversation.

2020 Toyota Highlander Review - In 2014, the current era Highlander hurried onto the scene with a marginally lengthier human body and more forceful styling. Regardless, from the period ahead, points have kept averagely calm, set anything aside for a couple of improvements all over. We expect this absence of progress to share to the 2019 Highlander. As a vestige display, we do not expect much in terms of external updates. All things considered, the 2020 Toyota Highlander seems are still genuinely present day and shouldn't signify any issues. Even though that we do not expect any big improvements, we could see a couple of small improvements, similar to a refreshed rundown of shading alternatives and probably a couple of new wheel choices.
Toyota community a Highlander product revenue data in the United Claims Of America in 2017 by campaign 215,775 Highlanders. Can, it set up it again with the company-new 2020 Toyota Highlander ? Till soon there are three generations with this car, as well as it seems that company-new 2020 release will be an initiator for just about any 4th technology. Another time was presented in Mar 2013 for just about any 2014 design year. They finished up being merely being exactly like a great many other mid-size crossover SUV with the aid of a bigger as perfectly as lengthier format as perfectly as improved creation.
Obvious changes are given by using this up and with regards to SUV. This can get started with its entrance gear since leading lights will probably be custom made-created which consists of synopsis. This amendment will, like this, be compounded from the grille that will be moreover enhanced. Its entrance bumper can be planning to see some changes. New strong haze bulbs may be used over the last ones. Its cover and region human body is publishing prone to spotlight some actual and elegant facial lines. Its right back strip is moreover expected a number of enjoyable changes. Significantly, the end lighting will probably be provided just one more rundown. The trunk tone will probably be notably predicted; your final part may have amendments in its certain method and also the fender.
The inner features a substantial upgrade composed of the very most updated infomercial as nicely as new functions, yet still, several other bits of the inner aren't the clinging backside. Four substantially more USB locations are involved which are set as much as 5- 3 into the long run along side 2 in the backside. The cottage grips many aluminum-taken cares of data and facts space for storage parts that consist of substantial shelves that deliver the panel. Like every manufacturer-new Toyota's versions, the brand name-new Highlander 2020 equally features The apple company CarPlay along side Android os Vehicle features which aids you down the streets, intrigues you, as successfully as looks out for you. That links you to the world external the home all from the comfort of your vehicle driver's seat. Hopefully that traditional Toyota Protection and safety Getting will feature this sort in every trim. This innovative development is created to aid obtain you as successfully as your pals and family relations from an accident. It provides the Pre-Accidents Process, Lane Breaking up Warn, Lane-Leaving with Guiding Support; Developed Large Beams, Compelling Radar Cruise Liner Get a grip on as well as Pre-Accident Program with Strolling Development.
The renovated 2020 Highlander Hybrid could undertake a model of the electric gas powertrain at the Lexus RX 450 h crossover of the Toyota Advanced Division. It will be a current variation of the confident hybrid , matching a 3.5-liter V-6 fuel with a battery-powered electric generator to generate a internet power of 308 horsepower (Toyota doesn't publish the mixed couple output). A constantly variable automatic transmission (CVT) would be the just transmission again.
When there is a class L stage feedback, we believe so it will only be front-wheel push, exactly like any other design with the four-cylinder engine. The V-6 LE, SE, XLE and Jewelry Highlanders would present the choice of front-wheel push or AWD. An adventure design will be AWD just, exactly like hybrids. The 2020 Highlander may possibly carry on with less activities suspension and more grip-oriented tires for a sharper reaction, while a diploma of adventure might have a top suspension and tires with a more substantial sidewall. This type of Highlander will be more able down the street than the others, but its volume wouldn't be equivalent compared to that of the median crosses just like the Jeep Fantastic Cherokee or Subaru Ascent.
Assume a rise (the bottom prices of Toyota improved by about $800 for the entire year 2019), nevertheless the Highlander of the ' 20 will have to carry on to truly have a aggressive price. The proposed retail purchase will likely carry on slightly above that of the direct rivals, while many competitors present more powerful first-line versions that exceed the $50.000 threshold. The sole 2020 Highlander that probably has a platform value of $50.000 is the Hybrid Jewelry model.
Our bottom value estimates include the Toyota destination charge, that was $1.045 at the Highlander 2019. And for gas-only designs, we estimate the beds base value with front-wheel drive. Watch for AWD to add still another $1.500 or so.
Built with the four-cylinder engine , the projected bottom value is $32.000 for the Highlander L 2020 and about $33.000 for LE.
With the V-6, try to find the LE beginning around $35.000, the XLE around $40.000 and the SE around $42.000. The projected bottom value is $44.000 for the ' 20 Highlander Confined and $47.000 for the Platinum. The adventure alone will be AWD and probably have an amount around $45.000.
In the range ' 20 Highlander Hybrid ', expect it to start around $41.500, the XLE around $43.000, the restricted around $46.500 and the Jewelry around $50.000.
There probably will not be several factory options. There can be a ease deal, which would add keyless access/push key ignition, electric liftgate gate, three-zone environment control, and 8-inch infotainment display. Such an offer could charge about $1.000. A rear-seat entertainment program with Blu-ray film support will be obtainable in XLE and larger levels for around $1.900. The second strip captain's seats for XLE, SE, Adventure and Confined could change the standard seat at number extra charge.

BRISBANE, Australia — A fisherman who was knocked overboard by a rogue wave survived a six-hour swim to shore without a lifejacket, Australian police said.
Officials said they realized the man was missing when someone spotted his unmanned boat with the engine still running Tuesday off the Gold Coast, south of the Queensland capital of Brisbane.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.
- Scotland legalizes same-sex marriage
- Weapons deal strengthened Assad: US intel chief
- Outcry over the fate of Sochi's stray dogs
- Olympic construction leaves Sochi residents in the cold
- Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
Tweed Heads Police Inspector Darren Steel told Australian Broadcasting Corp. on Wednesday that the man's boat was hit by a large wave, knocking him overboard.
The boat kept going without him, so he was forced to make the 4.7-mile swim to shore.
Police Inspector Geoff Palmer told ABC News Australia that the fisherman's physical fitness and familiarity with the area likely helped him.
"Knowing the waters in the area — the tides run very quickly — and there's known to be sharks in that area, so he is a very lucky man," he told the network.
A friend told ABC that the 25-year-old fisherman was injured as he tried to get onto the land.

"He said he couldn't have picked a worse place to land on the beach because there wasn't much beach — it was just all rock and oysters," Simon Dean told the network. "He's cut to pieces from hanging on to rocks."
The man told Dean that the waves battered him against the rocks about a dozen times before he could get enough of a grip to pull himself up.
"It wasn't real pleasant out there," Dean said.
After making it to land, he knocked on a stranger's door for help.
Dean told ABC News Australia that his friend went overboard at about 1:00 p.m. Tuesday.
"We were out there searching at about five o'clock for him and the weather did start to get a little bit better, but probably the weather is what helped save him with the south-easterly breeze blowing," he told ABC. "It sort of helped push him against the current towards the shore."
Steel said the man was treated at a hospital and released.

I thought it would be a great learning tool for other writers to hear my NaNoWritMo journey this year and how it led me to a new revelation about my writing. After 37,000+ words I realized that I didn't know where my story was going. I had hit a rock and a hard place. My mind had imploded!
Realistically this was due to several reasons. I had some personal issues to deal with, and I did not have an outline. I thought because I had this story rolling around in my head, it would fly from my fingers to my keyboard in a spectacular display of writing and plotting as I created. That was not meant to be. I felt like I had lost track of the plot. I had so many ideas swimming around in my head that I couldn't decide for sure which way to go. I didn't know how to filter through the "crap" to find the real essence of my story.
The Meadow Fairy is the second novel in my series. There lies part of the problem. The second book needs to show that my protagonist, Abby Forester is growing in her knowledge of her place as the fairy whisper and what that entails. She has a new mission to fulfill, and I have to make sure that my plot follows the scenes necessary for a YA novel. For me, that takes plotting and slipping back into becoming a logical person for this part of the process. I realized that my right-brained creativity needed my left-brained logic more than ever.
I've been a follower of K.M. Weiland's blog for several years now and own a couple of her books and ebooks. Recently, she was instrumental in creating a software program to accompany her "Outlining your Novel" book, called "Outlining Your Novel Workbook," designed by Bob Miller, Inc.
Since I was stuck with my plot, I figured, why not give this program a try. I purchased the program and bought the book.
What I hope to do is to share my journey into producing a workable outline for my YA fantasy book, The Meadow Fairy. I'm not giving you the plot. Where possible, I will share some of the basic ingredients of my story without telling you the outcome. Instead, I want to share the steps I take in creating an outline using the Outlining Your Novel program and book by K.M. Weiland.
The program contains all the necessary ingredients:
STEP ONE: The What If Question – All premises begin with a What If Question
The program has a place where you can start asking the questions pertinent to your story. Of course, my first two questions were:
What if Abby saves the bees?
What if Abby can't save the bees?
What this simple questioning exercise did was allow me to brainstorm ideas that I hadn't considered before. I wrote them all down and felt energized by the possibilities. Some of these questions will never be used, while others have let me to new opportunities in my plot.
Once I asked the what if questions, it was logical to ask what is expected?
Abby is expected to save the bees.
Then, you must ask the questions what is unexpected?
It is unexpected if Abby can't save the bees.
The What If questions helped me to figure out the premise of my book. What would a YA adventure be without a problem to solve? The point I'm trying to make is that you must brainstorm ideas or your premise/plot becomes dull and expected.
STEP TWO: K.M. Weiland instructs that we must determine our
What is a premise? The premise is a single sentence that conveys the plot and the theme. It's like a business' mission statement. Here are my examples:
I'm writing a YA fantasy story with a subplot involving loyalty and environmental responsibility to the earth and its inhabitants. (This is my general statement)
I'm writing a YA fantasy adventure taking place in Colorado, where Abby Forester, the fairy whisperer, is summoned by the fairy nymphs to solve the problem of why the bees are dying on the earth.
K.M. Weiland says that we should try to create a sentence that conveys the characters, the setting, and the central conflict. (Chapter 3, P. 47, Outlining Your Novel).
I think I was able to do that in my second example.
Not sure how to brainstorm? Read How to Brainstorm. Give Your Brain Free Rein
So, that's it for today. I'm off to work on these "What If" questions. I'll continue my plotting journey in future posts. I hope this helps you if you've lost your way in your writing journey. ❤

I hope you all had a lovely weekend as I did. It started off with Ilkeston Dabblers on Friday night and it was so nice to chill and relax, can you believe that I sat there colouring in Christmas Cards, yep, that's right, I must either be mad or organised. Anne showed everyone how to make a box and a band. You must nip over to the Dabblers Blog HERE and see for yourself.
Saturday I had a cleaning day as well as lots of visitors, so I was able to catch up with all the latest news from everyone. I also finished 6 hours of ironing and got lots of job satisfaction from that. Sunday was spent in between my craft room, cooking and a bit of sorting. The intention was to clean my craft room, see what envelopes and other supplies I need but horror......I discovered that the baby cards I made last week had a mis spelling. Oh no. I had to redo them all crikey. By the end of the day I think I made enough baby cards to last me a while, dont you?
and my craft room still needs sorting, oh well, at least you all know what I will be doing tonight.
Thanks for having a read and I hope you have a lovely day

Scott Mayerowitz inspired me on Thursday night. He told me he was tired of my first class reviews and that I need to do a week of travel through middle America on low cost carriers with stays at motels inbetween.
While perhaps not a motel, he did specifically mention the American Inn & Suites in Tooele, Utah, as it does have a (fascinating) loyalty program.
They have the Loyalty Dollars Program, and they believe their rewards program is "second to none."
For each night you stay at a single occupancy rate of at least $96 you receive your choice between a:
- $5 Cabela's gift card
- $5 Home Depot gift card
- $5 Wal-Mart gift card
The best part is how they justify how damn awesome their program is:
We strongly encourage you to compare our reward program to any of our competitors.
According to our calculations, they will offer you points worth only about $1.00 per night, or .10 cents on the dollar. Even when they offer double or triple promotions Our "Loyalty Dollars" are still dramatically higher!
They might want to check their calculator. If competitors are offering an average of $1 per night of rewards and that equates to 0.1 cents on the dollar, they're competing with $1,000 per night hotels!
In fairness, Tooele is a competitive hotel market — there's a Comfort Inn, Best Western, Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and Motor Inn.
It is fascinating that they seem to be suggesting that IHG Rewards Club and Hilton HHonors offer a return of ~1% on hotel spend. While neither points currency is my favorite, I do value them a lot more than that.
But still, kudos to them on a unique loyalty program. I bet a lot of business travelers are excited about the fact that they have a $25 Wal-Mart gift card at the end of a week-long stay that the company paid for.
While I'll have more details of my "plan" soon, would you be interested in reading about a week of low cost carriers and motels?
(Tip of the hat to Scott Mayerowitz)

Are you a victim of your cat's mood swings when it comes to bathing?
Cats can be very difficult at times and to make it worse, our voices and instructions have little control over their actions. Bathing is a process that most cats don't appreciate, to say the least.
If you are here, most likely you have tried bathing your cat and that ended up badly or you have heard your fellow cat owner stories of how the cat scratched its way through and escaped a bath.
An attempt to bathe an uninterested cat can turn pretty messy and sometimes ugly. You need to be prepared for the worst, block all escapes and make sure the final outcome is a clean cat with no casualties to either of you!
And if you're worrying who's going to guide you through the process, worry not! This blog post will give you a step by step method to follow and necessary precautions that you must take.
So sit back and relax, there's a lot to take in as you read!
This section of the blog post will guide you on how you can manage to successfully bathe your cat in a few easy steps!
A cat bath is a gamble, where your cat can show its wildest shade to you and both can end up hurt if you don't take necessary precautions. That is why it is necessary that you be prepared.
Before the bath, make sure your cat's claws are trimmed short, and if you are particularly interested in grooming, even filled to smoothness. This will make sure when your cat decides to throw a fit, none of you get scratched.
Wear clothes that can protect you from possible scratches and bites. Be ready to get wet and soapy. If things get messy, be ready to get dirty as well!
Lastly, make sure the bath is ready. Make sure the tub has enough water, the water is moderately warm, the soap or cat shampoo is cat-friendly. Keep everything ready, so that once your cat realizes what's happening, it doesn't have much time to wiggle out and run away.
This is one important step you can't miss if you want to survive the bathing session peacefully. You need to make sure your cat is not having an anxiety boost or a frenzy attack.
To keep it calm, you can start by talking to your cat a few minutes before the bath, so that your cat gets used to your voice and continue it as you begin the bath. This makes it feel whatever is happening is normal.
Try adding its favorite toys or mouse/food shaped toys in the bath so it really wants to enter the water.
Slowly work up the lather from paws to the upper body. If your cat is really behaving wild in its first bath, make it a slow process over days. Gradually it will get used to water, until it is ready for a full bath.
Once you're done with the bath, don't sigh in relief. Drying is left! You can use towel drying or hairdryer, make sure the temperature isn't too high.
Lastly, do not forget the treats! Your cat deserves a reward, whether or not it behaved well during the bath. This acts as positive reinforcement and encourages the cat that this is a good thing.
The point is, cats are scared of unfamiliar surroundings and activities. Water, soap, and pressure are things that can easily trigger panic.
The more you make the cat feel comfortable, the easier bathing it will be. You can change ways of bathing to a bucket wash or a soft shower wash, according to what your cat prefers. Make sure the stream of the shower has low pressure as it can again, scare the cat.
Again, don't forget the treats. They increase your chances of having a better experience next time!
If you have some interesting and fun suggestions for bathing a cat, do mention them in the comments section!

1980年7月7日英国驻北京外交官T J B George向英国外交部远东司R C Fursland汇报关于中国基督教的情况:
她说基督教三自爱国运动委员会的会议被推迟了(很可惜,因为下周日将会有一座新的基督教堂在北京开放)。会议的主要内容是成立一个 "中国基督教协会"(按:该会于1980年10月份在南京召开的中国基督教第三次全国会议上成立),主要从事教务活动,架构是全国统一式的,但不会采用圣公会的模式。我估计三自运动委员会仍然会保留,很多人将会在新的基督教协会同时任职。基督教协会到时可用教会对教会的名义邀请国外访客。这位联系人还说教会在各地可能有不同的模式。
British Embassy,
7 July 1980
R C Fursland Esq
1. Since writing my letter of 11 June, I have seen, after some gap, my usual church contact.
2. She told me that the Conference of the Third Self Movement had been delayed a little (which was a pity from a local point of view in that it had been hoped that the Conference might coincide with the opening of the second Protestant church in Peking next Sunday). She told me that the major outcome of the Conference, when it is held, should be the establishment of a new specifically religious organization called the Christian Association or League (Jidujiao Xiehui). This will provide an ecclesiastic structure for the protestant church, which is expected to continue to be a united body but almost certainly not episcopalian in form, (even if surviving bishops continue to hold personal ranks). I gather however that discussion continues on several issues. The Three Self Movement will remain the official arm of the Protestant Church, with many people no doubt holding posts in both. The new League will be able to invite visitors on a church to church basis. My contact did not rule out local variations in the structure of the church as newly constituted.
3. Another move following the Conference will be the reopening of the protestant theological college in Nanking (presumably under Bishop Ding), religious work in Nanking having in recent years been confined to research in the university.
4. Discussion of the opening of the second protestant church, confirmed what I have earlier reported, namely that for Christianity the political rot set in not with the Cultural Revolution but with the anti-rightist movement in the fifties. The priest to be in charge of the new church (which will be in Xidan) went out of circulation after the Hundred Flowers Movement. The need for a second church has been manifest for months. People now start arriving at 6 am in the present church for the 8 am service, so as to be sure of a seat.
5. Please copy as usual.

Objective: To examine the presence of HIV in bone tissue of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) with osteonecrosis of femoral head and describe clinical and anatomopathological findings.
Design: This is a case series which included 44 PLWHIV with osteonecrosis of femoral head who underwent total hip arthroplasty.
Methods: Clinical data were obtained through analysis of the patients' medical records. Bone tissue obtained during total hip arthroplasty was retrieved and sent for conventional and immunohistochemical analysis. Monoclonal antibodies were used to mark the p24 (HIV), CD31 (vascular endothelial cells), CD68 (macrophages), and D240 (cells of the lymphatic endothelium) antigens.
Results: Dyslipidemia was found in 48% of the patients and lipodystrophy in 31%. Histological analysis showed similar characteristics for the entire sample. Degeneration of joint cartilage was visualized with the presence of fissures and fibrillations, as well as subchondral sclerosis and necrosis of the subchondral cancellous bone tissue. Lymphoplasmocytic inflammatory reaction was observed, with the presence of macrophages containing a foamy, vacuolated cytoplasm, as well as the presence of ceroid pigment and occasional granulation tissue. The reaction with the monoclonal anti-p24 antibody was negative in the samples from all 44 PLWHIV undergoing hip arthroplasty. Reactions with the anti-CD31 and anti-D240 antibodies were negative. Staining with CD68 antibody confirmed that the cells visualized with foamy, vacuolated cytoplasm were macrophages.
Conclusion: p24 HIV antigen was not detected in the bone tissue of PLWHIV and osteonecrosis. The most frequent anatomopathological findings were extensive necrosis of bone tissue, large vacuoles filled with fat cells, inflammatory lymphoplasmocytic reaction with macrophages containing vacuolated cytoplasm, and the presence of ceroid pigment.
Keywords: osteonecrosis, AIDS, HIV core protein p24, immunohistochemistry

Severe Weather Flirts With Del Rio; Slams Brackettville (April 13th, 2019)Read Now
A potent storm system moved across portions of Texas during the early morning hours of April 13th, 2019. While severe weather was rather isolated, it did manage to produce large hail near Barnhart and Big Lake, Texas and in Brackettville, Texas - and also triggered tornado warnings in both places.
A Tornado Watch had previously been issued by the National Weather Service during the very early morning hours. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Tornado Warnings, and some areas of Flash Flooding also occurred across the West Texas region.
A severe thunderstorm was noted crossing from the Mexican state of Coahuila into Kinney County, Texas around 3:45 AM. This storm quickly intensified along Pinto Creek in rural Kinney County and produced radar signatures indicative of a potential tornado as it neared Brackettville. While reports of a tornado touchdown have not been received, severe reports of golf ball to half-dollar sized hail were submitted, as well as reports of shattered windshields. The storm then continues eastbound, prompting additional tornado warnings for the northern portion of Uvalde, Texas around 6:45 AM, then Sabinal, Texas around 8:00 AM.
Around sunrise, an additional line of storms swept through Del Rio bringing gusty winds (nearly 50 MPH) and briefly heavy rainfall (0.23 inches at Del Rio Airport and 0.26 inches at Laughlin AFB). Additionally, Laughlin AFB reported 1/2 inch hail. A report of pea to nickle-sized hail also surfaced in the San Felipe neighborhood of Del Rio.
For more information, contact Smalltown Weather at email@example.com or (830) 313-6899.
Storm reports are important as they allow meteorologists to verify their weather forecasts and improve their skills. They are also important as they often assist in insurance claims from damage resulting from foul weather. If you are in need of a formal, certified weather report, please be sure to Contact Us.

Great source of information - thank you for making the time and effort to do this. I'm in San Antonio, but have friends who live out there. I saw the hook echo and hail on the radar this morning outside of Brackettville and was happy to see that you had written up a story on it.

1 in 4 Vehicles Has an Open Recall
According to Carfax, more than 63 million recalled vehicles now are in use across the country, an alarming 34 percent increase from 2016.
"Reducing the number of open recalls on the road is an ongoing effort," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "It may be inconvenient, but people driving recalled cars should make getting them fixed a high priority."
The new data also suggests that family life may be a factor for some vehicle owners not knowing about a recall or getting it fixed. Minivans and SUVs, which are typically family-oriented vehicles, are the ones most likely to have unfixed recalls.
To find out if your vehicle has an open recall, you can visit this government website and enter your vehicle's VIN number: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls The site also lets you check for recalls on child seats and tires.
If you need to schedule a service appointment, please give us a call at (866) 900-8854.

The Herald Suns' Jay Clark is reporting that star Eagle Andrew Gaff will either remain at West Coast or move to North Melbourne.
The Oakleigh product is currently in Melbourne after copping an eight-game suspension for hitting Dockers youngster Andrew Brayshaw two weeks ago which led to fierce scrutiny in Perth.
The 26-year old is weighing up his options, which includes a monster long-term offer from North Melbourne worth $1.2 million per season, who have emerged as the frontrunner of the Victorian clubs.
The Eagles' deal is worth $850,000 a year, meaning the silky midfielder would be sacrificing as much as $2 million over six years to stay in Perth.
Clark also reports that the Bombers are not in talks with the gun wingman, while Melbourne and St Kilda are not confident of landing his signature.
North Melbourne are still pursuing Power running machine Jared Polec, as they look to finally make a splash in free agency after missing out on several big names.
Gaff's free agency decision is set to impact the future of out-of-contract Eagles ruckman Scott Lycett, who is considering offers Port Adelaide and St Kilda.
