Fall of an Angel
By Nanaki Lioness
Disclaimer: The characters, items, places etc of Final Fantasy VII are property of Squaresoft Ltd. These objects are used without permission for entertainment only, not for making money. No infringement is intended.
Those piercing green eyes
so beautiful. Soft honey colored hair that
framed the face of an Angel. The flawless features illuminated by an inner
beauty, a compassion to help others sought to such an extent they became
more important than herself. An innocent love and trust for others, one that
could be considered a weakness. But not for her. They highlighted her personality
perfectly. Unselfish, unwanting, not accepting a reward for anything she
would do. A passion for nature, and the Planet itself. An important part
of Fates plan to make individuals care. She was perfection.
And she had been taken, murdered by the blade of their enemy.
The eyes looking dead at those around her, their shining light within gone. The hair loose from its braid, the pink ribbon that once held it sliced in two. The flawless features tainted by a wound so deep she could not survive. The perfection, the trust, the love, taken by one clean slice of a sword.
Aeris Gainsborough was dead, and those she left behind were in turmoil.
As Cloud had stepped through the crystal holy waters that surrounded the altar of death, they watched from the shore. They saw their friend go out as far as he could and hold Aeriss body above the water, and whisper something to her as he reluctantly let her go. It could have been goodbye, it could have been I love you, it didnt matter to those who saw him slowly retreat, his bright eyes never once leaving the spot where he had just laid Aeris to rest. He had backed up to the shore, almost falling backwards onto the sandbank having not noticed he had reached it. The others had stared out into the translucent waters before them silently. No-one uttered a word, meloncholy having taken over the group like a vice clamping their souls. The air was only occasionally punctured by the sounds of Tifa and Yuffie crying.
Someone had asked what they were going to do now. If they going to continue their journey. The others had paid them little notice, too wrapped up in their own dark thoughts to hear the words spoken. Silently, they had started to move away from the edge of the water. No-one dared a look back.
They had made their way to a nearby abandoned building. Yuffie and Tifa had immediately left the party, going up the stairs to one of the two bedrooms. Cait Sith had powered down in a corner, looking awfully ashamed. Red had curled up by a fire that Barret had lit, and was sleeping soundly. Barret had been sitting in a chair next to the burning embers, and Vincent had laid on the couch. Both were asleep, the only noise in the room being the sparks of the fire. Cid and Cloud has gone up to the other bedroom. The whole building had a sombre air about it.
And it was those thoughts that invaded Cloud Strifes mind in the early hours of the morning, when he was trying not to think of them. He had tried to think of anything but that, anything but the beautiful women who had been murdered. But he couldnt. His mind was determined to make him stay awake, plagued by unwelcome thoughts. They came unbidden, despite his best efforts to keep his mind occupied.
He stared at the ceiling, sighing deeply. Sleep seemed distant, like it had been most of the night. He had been laying restlessly for hours. He glanced at a nearby clock. Two hours sixteen minutes, to be exact. Across the room, he could hear Cids gentle sleeping. He had been out like a light as soon as his head touched the pillow, but Cloud had heard him sigh a few times when he awoke. He didnt seem to be sleeping peacefully. Cloud didnt suspect anyone in the building was.
He pushed the unwanted thoughts of the evenings events out of his mind once again, only to have them replaced with equally disturbing ones. Sephiroth burning Nibelheim he shook his head to clear it. He didnt want to think about Sephiroth. If he did, he would think about
no, he refused his twisted imagination the pleasure of re-playing the scene in his head. Or, at least, he tried.
He hated himself. He had tried to kill her, doing the job for Sephiroth like a puppet would for its master. He had held the blade above his head, sending it downwards towards her own. The startled cries of his friends had snapped him from the trance, but he still felt ashamed with his actions. He hadnt said a word to anybody since he had buried her. They had hardly spoken at all either.
The reactions of some of the others had surprised him a little. Cait Sith, being controlled by an anonymous Shinra Employee, had looked ashamed. He was with the enemy who had hounded the Cetra for the duration of her life. Barret had surprised him by offering Cloud himself comfort, a condoling hand on his shoulder. Yuffie had embraced him, but whether it was to pacify her cries, or his hurt, he didnt know. Tifa, normally strong and cool headed, had run from the altar in tears. Cid had simply stared up at the sky, as if in prayer for the flower girl. Vincent, stoic and calm, had only cast a glance at Aeris and then Cloud before leaving. Hurt was evident in his red eyes, but he appeared to have suffered a grievous hurt before. No-one knew much about the mysterious mans past. Cloud assumed it must have been to do with his lost love, Lucrecia.
Cloud himself had simply looked on at his friends. He didnt once move from his place opposite Aeris until all his friends had vacated the altar. Then he had gracefully lifted her body, angelic even after life had departed her, and carried her out into the water. And let her go.
Now, he was destined to stay awake all night, thinking of the wrong that had been committed. And blaming himself. He was her bodyguard. Why didnt he save her? He should have done. He would never forgive Sephiroth, but he could never forgive himself. He had almost committed the crime himself, but thanks to his friends, was spared the guilt of actually killing her.
Sorrow had overtaken his soul, the guilt pushed away. His strong façade for his friends was transparent now, had been as soon as the blade sliced through Aeriss back, and out of her stomach. Inside, he was drowning in tears he refused to cry.
Tifa and Yuffie had cried. That hadnt surprised him. He had too, in front of Sephiroth no less. Tifa surprised him a little; he had been under the impression that there was a rift between the two, although it was nothing too serious. And Cloud feared it had been to do with him.
Both girls felt affection towards him. Aeris had taken him on a date at the Gold Saucer, and even though he had owed her the date, he still enjoyed it. Aeriss words and actions also showed she liked him as more than a friend. When Cait Sith had read their fortunes, he had said they were perfect for one another. Tifa had been there, he had seen the jealously in her eyes. She had tried to conceal it, but Cloud had known her a long time. He could see straight through it. He had liked her since childhood, but that was what caused the problem. He didnt think he could ever see her as more than a close friend, although she obviously wanted more.
He wasnt sure how he felt about Aeris. Was she a friend? Or something more? Either way, it didnt matter, she was dead. That unsurprisingly ended a relationship. But it didnt end love. Cloud didnt know if he loved Aeris, but he did care for her a lot. So her death hurt him.
He was no stranger to loss. Sephiroth had burnt Nibelheim down to the ground, his memories of the quiet mountain town gone with the ravaging flames. His mother had perished in the flames too, but then he had been seeking revenge. Sixteen years old and in that kind of situation meant it hadnt hit him immediately. The overwhelming hate and desire to kill Sephiroth had. His memories were lost after that point, and he didnt think now was the suitable time to try and retrieve them.
He heard Cid cough softly. He was awake, but Cloud didnt call out to him. His friends should be allowed the soft serene of sleep, even if he wasnt. Cid would drop back off soon anyway.
He glanced at the clock again. Nearly four am. He cursed inwardly. Even if he did get to sleep-which appeared unlikely-it would only be for about four hours. That was better than nothing though, the more approachable option. Although, that wasnt by his choice. He would like nothing more than to drop into the velvet caresses of dormancy, where his troubled mind would be at peace. At least for a short while.
Although, he thought dejectedly, Id probably just end up having nightmares.
After about ten minutes, he sighed and sat up. He had been tracing the imperfections and cracks in the ceiling with his eyes, but he had run out of ceiling. He had also run out of patience awaiting sleep, and threw the covers off of him. Fatigue wouldnt be claiming him any time soon, so lying in bed was useless. He quietly went over to the partially open door and slipped out. The bright lights from the hall hit his sensitive eyes, and he shaded them for a moment. When he looked around again, he realised there wasnt any place to go. Tifa and Yuffies room was next to his and Cids, and the stairs were to his left. He was also acutely aware of the heat in the building.
A shower was becoming appealing, as the heat was getting unbearable, but he didnt want to wake anybody. He settled for just getting a glass of water instead. Slowly, he crept down the stairs, hoping he wouldnt step on any floorboards that squeaked like in Aeriss house.
Dammit! He thought. There I go again!
It seemed like there was nothing to think about unless it meant thinking about Aeris, or an aspect concerning her. It was becoming vaguely annoying. It wasnt that he didnt like thinking about her, because he did. He just didnt want to at that moment.
His friends were concerned. He didnt know why. The only words spoken amidst goodnights were aimed at him. Was he okay, did he want to talk? No he wasnt okay, but he didnt want to talk. He had never been one for heart-to-heart chats.
He looked around the ground floor of the building, realising that he was in the living room. Red was still sleeping by the fire, that had begun to die down. Barret was fast asleep in a chair, evident by his snoring as the back of the chair faced Cloud. Vincent was sleeping on the couch, but as Cloud laid eyes on him, the red orbs snapped open. Vincent nodded to him and closed his eyes again. Cloud wondered if the man ever slept at all. Sighing, he looked around the room quickly and kept his eyes away from the front door. He felt like going outside, but he knew hed be drawn to the Cetras final resting place if he did that. Picking up an empty glass, he ran some water and started up the stairs again. About half way up, he stopped and looked at the front door again.
Cloud? A voice behind him said. He turned and saw Tifa standing at the top of the stairs. How long have you been up?
All night, Cloud told her, starting up the steps again. He was glad for the distraction.
Oh. Up close, Cloud could tell Tifa hadnt been sleeping much either. She looked tired and worn, her eyes red with fatigue or tears. Probably both.
Couldnt sleep? he asked.
Something like that, Tifa sighed. How about you? Are you all right? I know you and her were close Tifa tailed off slightly. Cloud nodded slightly.
Im pretty good. Tifa studied him for a moment.
Then why havent you slept? She asked. Cloud shrugged.
Not tired, I guess.
Oh. So what were you doing up? Cloud showed her the glass of water.
Just getting this.
I thought I heard someone go downstairs. I kinda hoped it would be you. Cloud didnt reply to that. Tifa smiled compassionately, although tears stood in her eyes now.
You know what I think? She said softly. Aeris was an angel. She wasnt human. She was too pure to be tainted by humanitys flaws. She was sent by the Planet on a mission, and when she succeeded it, she would be taken. She fulfilled her purpose here, and was taken back to where she belonged. Dont you think, Cloud? Cloud didnt say anything for a moment; this was exactly why he didnt want to talk about Aeris. He nodded slightly, wanting to get away from the subject.
Yeah. Tifa smiled smally at him. There was a silence between them. Cloud looked at her for a moment, thinking about her words. She had obviously been putting a lot of thought into the subject. And she was right too. That simple realisation brought tears that he had locked away inside forth to his eyes, unbidden.
Im sorry, Tifa said, noticing. I didnt mean to upset you. She stepped forward, embracing him tightly for a moment. Cloud didnt say anything. Then she pulled back.
Ive kept you up long enough, Cloud said. You better go back to bed.
Yeah, Tifa said. Okay. You take care, Cloud.
And you. Tifa smiled again and entered her room again. Cloud sighed, shaking his head. Only a few more hours, he thought. Just a little while longer and we can leave this place.
Just a little longer, and they could end the fight.
Opening his bedroom door, he cast a baleful glance at Tifas door. He hesitated slightly. He knew she had wanted him to stay with her. He had ignored her gestures, not wanting to fall in love again.
Love? Aeris?
Yes, he thought slowly. I love Aeris.
And, as it always worked for him, Fate twisted his life to make the one thing he desired unavailable. Aeris was dead, but there was still Tifa.
Could I love Tifa? The childhood sweetheart he had adored for years?
I could, he thought, entering his room. Just not right now. He didnt want to think about loving anyone else yet.
No, this night was reserved for the Angel who had fallen.

The Ebb and Flow of Grief's Tides
The last two days have been that drowning kind of grief. I had to leave school yesterday morning before students even arrived because I couldn't contain my tears. Today I have been feeling the physical aspects of my grief...head aches, stomach aches and the tears that just won't stop so I stayed home again. I know a good deal of this relates to passing the two month mark last Friday. But there are other feelings that are starting to creep back in that are magnifying my feelings of grief. These are the same feelings I was experiencing last year when we were referred to an RE after trying to get pregnant for just over a year with no success.
This time last year I was is a pit of despair because everyone I was closest to (friends and family) was a parent and I was (and still am) not. Going to gatherings of friends with their friends from other circles was more than I could handle because nearly everyone had kids or was about to have one. If they didn't they were way younger and not in the same head space so couldn't understand my perspective...so I started to avoid those kinds of situations. When two of my closest became pregnant with their second child they were both afraid to tell me for fear of how it would hurt me...so I was the last to know both times. It sucked. It sucked more when I found out one of those friends found out she had miscarried at her 12 week ultrasound.
For anyone who has experienced some form of infertility what this feels like is easy to understand. It is a sense of no control over what should be a natural and easy process, a feeling of not fitting in with friends and family who are parents of young children and all sorts of heart ache when month after month (or year after year) you are unable to conceive a child and desperately want to. It is heart-wrenching, depressing and I felt like a failure. Not to mention insanely jealous of every woman who has a living child. These feelings went away when I got pregnant because I was one of them...I was part of that club finally. Then we lost our boys and I joined a new club of dead baby moms but I am still on the outside of the Mommy club.
Of course I know that in some sense I am lucky...we struggled for just over a year before getting referred to an RE. My doctor was proactive in making the referral because of my age (I was 35 and now 36). We discovered I had some issues relating to PCOS (but still ovulate) and hubby has slight sperm motility issues. Combine those together and the recommendation was IVF. It worked and I got pregnant with my William and Ethan. We were lucky. We didn't have to try for years and years (although that one felt like an eternity), we can get pregnant with assistance and we haven't had multiple losses, just one really big one that took both of my babies.
Now here I am a year later and I am having those feelings all over again plus feelings of grief. It is too much.
I hate that I feel jealous and a social pariah...not just for being childless but because I am the sad/scary story you whisper when I am out of the room or the recipient of sad looks and tearful hugs. Through my tears today I called a grief counselor and made an appointment to see her tomorrow. I do very well on most days and in general feel like I am dealing with my grief in healthy ways. I just want to talk to someone about the bad days, when the tide of grief is high. I have my family and friends who are willing to listen, but someone on the outside might be what I need.

I have no words... Just hugs... And lots of hope. Lots of hope.ReplyDelete

Jessica, I am so very sorry. I do know what you mean about the ebb and flow of grief. In my case, I can say that time does make it less overwhelming - hopefully that will be true for you too. Hang in there and hugs to you. I think it is very smart to seek out professional advice. Just know that what you are feeling is normal - it sucks, sucks, sucks, but as a fellow twin baby loss mom - you are not alone.ReplyDelete
So sorry you are having such a tough time. I hope the grief counselor can help. Ours helped a lot.ReplyDelete
I too wish I wasn't that sad/scary story you whisper when I am out of the room. I wish you weren't either.
Our club - the dead baby club - is surely the worst of all to have membership for. I'm so sorry you're having a hard time and I do hope getting things out with a counsellor helps to ease the pain a bit.ReplyDelete

Understanding Collaboration in the Context of Loosely- and Tightly-Coupled Complex Adaptive Systems
Nathaniel Leduc
Candidat à la M. Sc. en systèmes de santé
École de gestion Telfer
Résumé (en anglais seulement)
Many of the technological and social systems our society has come to depend on can be classified as complex adaptive systems (CAS). These systems are made of many individual parts that self-organize to respond and adapt to changing outside and inside influences affecting the system and its actors. These CAS can be placed on a spectrum ranging from loosely- to tightly-coupled, depending on the degree of interrelatedness and interdependence between system components. This research has explored how the process of collaboration occurs in both a loosely- and tightly-coupled setting using one exemplar of each system. The loosely-coupled exemplar related to disaster risk reduction in two Canadian communities while the tightly-coupled one involved the implementation of a surgical information management system in a Canadian hospital. A list of core elements of collaboration that should be considered essential to the success of all collaborative endeavours was developed as a result: Engagement, Communication, Leadership, Role Clarity, Awareness, Time, and Technical Skills and Knowledge. Based on observing how the core elements of collaboration interacted with one another within each of these example systems, two models were created to represent their relationships. A list of considerations that collaborative tool designers should consider was also developed and the implications of these considerations were discussed. As businesses and other organizations increasingly incorporate team-based work models, they will come to depend more heavily on technology-based solutions to support collaboration. By incorporating collaborative technologies that properly support the activity of these teams—based on the specific type of complex adaptive system in which their organization exists—organizations can avoid wasting time and resources developing tools that hinder collaboration.

Editor's Note: Numerous instances of plagiarism have been discovered in Dan Kimber's "Education Matters" column, which ran in the News- Press from September 2003 to September 2011. In those columns where plagiarism has been found, a For the Record specifying the details will be appended to the piece.
Last week I wrote about our fat-laden government — national, state, local — causing a few of you to comment on the conservative tone I took, and that brought a smile to my face.
Even occasional readers of this column over the last 10 years have likely noticed that my views are, in general, slightly left of the political center. When I say, "in general," I'm going to try to make a point that I think people on both sides of that spectrum would agree to, if they were honest with themselves.

All natural soaps are not created equal. The term "natural" can be defined many ways. Some people consider any soap that is homemade or handcrafted natural, even if it contains synthetic ingredients. While others think that if soap is made with organic oils, it can still be considered natural even if it contains synthetic fragrances. When you are at the store and trying to choose a natural soap for your sensitive skin, you want to be sure to read the ingredients.
Here is a list of things to look for when you are reading the ingredients on a bar of "natural" soap.
Soap is scented with fragrance and essential oils. Essential oils are oils that are derived directly from plants, while fragrance oils are synthetically created. Many fragrances are not available as essential oils, or are too expensive, so soapmakers will use fragrance oils. If you have sensitive skin you may want to use only soaps scented with essential oils, as that fragrance oils can be a skin irritant. Many soapmakers will label their soap as natural even if they use fragrance oils, so this is a key ingredient to check.
Read the ingredient list to see what kind of colorants are in the soap to determine how natural the soap is. There are a variety of colorants available that vary from completely natural to very synthetic. If you want a very natural bar of soap, you should look for soap that is colored with natural herbs, rather than synthetic colorants such as FD&C Red#3. Soap can also be colored with mineral colorants, which may or may not be synthetic depending on their source. If you have sensitive skin, use soaps with herbal or mineral colorants, as these are the most natural and the least likely to irritate your skin.
All soap is made using lye, so don't be scared if you see it listed as an ingredient. Lye, combined with oil, makes soap, so lye is used to make soap, but there is no residual lye in a bar of soap. Since there isn't any actual lye in the final bar of soap, some soapmakers prefer to list the oils in the soap as 'saponified oils'. This means that the oil was combined with lye to make the soap, and soap made with lye is completely natural.
Decide how natural you want your soap to be. If you have very sensitive skin, you should probably choose the most natural soap. Many skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, tend to clear up or become less irritated when people choose to use natural soap.
If you would like to learn about the natural soap that I make, you can visit my website, which is listed below in the Resources section.

One of the big temptations when you have a home business is to work every day of the week. You really want to get things moving, and the temptation is great when you desperately need the money as so many families do.
Working seven days a week may not make you as productive as you think, however. You need time to relax and time for your family and friends.
Ideally, it's nice to take two days off a week, such as the standard weekend you get with some jobs. But it's not too unreasonable to want to work that sixth day a week for extra income or because you love what you do. Particularly when you have kids in the house, having a work day where someone else can handle them is really nice.
Except when you really have to, I don't recommend a seven day work week, especially not full days. There are times when it's necessary – there's a reason why many home business owners talk about the long hours they put in to get things going at first. But as soon as possible, return more balance to your lifestyle and have time for family and friends.
In the challenge of running a home business, it's easy to overlook time for yourself and those you care about. You're doing it for them, after all. But that's really not enough.
At the same time, if you really want to get your business going, you should be committed to working at least five days a week on your business. Working just a day or two a week is not enough, not if you're serious about it and don't have another job limiting your availability. Putting in more time means you'll see results of one sort or another from your business all the sooner.
Your days off from working on your home business shouldn't be the only time you spend with family, especially if you are working six days a week. Eat meals together. Relax for a while with family in the evenings.
That's about what I do personally. I work one weekend day a week when I can, because it's the one time I can really dedicate a lot of hours to working. Otherwise, it's the hours I can get during the day, plus whatever hours I can manage after the kids are in bed. One weekend day a week is family time. I'll check for anything urgent, but that's it.
Work out your schedule based on what you need to get accomplished with your business. You may sometimes need to work the full weekend or other time you'd rather have for family, but don't make it a habit. A part of working from home is usually about being there for family. Don't forget that part.

Clarence Ray Curtindale
Harrison, Michigan
Formerly of Saginaw, Michigan
Clarence departed his earthly life and joined his wife in their eternal heavenly home, on Friday, October 13, 2017 in Clare, Michigan at the age of 102 years 1 month and 26 days. He lived in his own house until the day he became ill while at his sons' home for a few games of cribbage and daily dinner. God was good and he was only ill for 36 hours before he was called home. He began his life on August 17, 1915 in Ocqueoc Twp. Presque Isle Co., MI the son of Cecil Gerald Curtindale and Elizabeth Hannah nee' Everingham .

They were meeting in temporary quarters in a school and he was not able to attend there later on in life as the walking distance was too great. He remained a member until his death. Clarence and Thelma both became active in 4-H Clubs in Saginaw County and remained active until Thelma's death. They were honored by the Altrusa Club with the Outstanding Citizens Award in 1988. This was the first time in the history of the Altrusa Club that the award was presented to a couple instead of an individual.

Weird boot problem after rescue CD boot fix
Just like the title says. I installed linux and grub, which kinda screwed up my windows boot. Long story short, i used rescue CD to do the fixboot => fixmbr => rebuild bcd.
After that i wanted to install linux again, but none of my flash drives are recongnized as being bootable. I tried a dozen times(for real) with 4 different distros, and 4 different writing utilities, but none of them worked. Windows bootable usb gets recognized in boot selection menu, the others don't. This happened only after using rescue CD(i just don't realise how that could have influenced things). I tested the flashdrives on my 2nd PC and they work, so we can be sure the drives are good.
I don't know what settings to change in bios anymore, i tried usb2 legacy enabled / disabled. I tried boot selection as USB hdd,Cd, zip fdd. Usually the usb drives should be recognized under the hdd section, they are not there either. What to do?
P.S. I posted in this section, but i don't know if i am right. Feel free to move the post. Also i posted in 7forums(i use win7) because i think it's a rescueCD generateb problem, i just don't understand it.

Well just a suggestion mate is do it from an optical disk I don't like booting from sticks personally.
Plus I prefer a bootable Ubuntu disk and just use the try version as I have had many problems in the past with dual boots
If you are trying to just reinstall the 7 clean see this again I use the disk variety
USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create
if you have to have data then of course this will not be of much use to you but it is worth keeping the DVD for future use :)

I don't have a DVD/CD rom, i've never used one in years. Dual boots are not that complicated it's just that i don't understand the issue and it's driving me crazy! I use diskpart to create my windows USB's, so nothing new there.

Windows 10 Pro/ Windows 10 Pro Insider
Linux has installed Grub into the boot manager of Windows. Grub is extremenly difficult to get rid of. Please read through this tutorial and see if there is any info that can help you. It is about 1 distro, but I believe it pertains to any distro of Linux. In the mean time, I will look for some other info to help. In case a clean install is necessary, do you need to copy your personal info out first?
Dual Boot - Windows 7 and Linux
MBR - Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record
Also, can you boot into either OS? You should be able to get Windows to boot with the installation USB.

In addition reset your BIOS to defaults: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS setting HDD first to boot.
Then try booting the flash stick again using the one-time BIOS boot menu key. Does the stick show up by name? If not format it again.
If this fails confirm the Win7 partition is Marked Active, boot the Win7 installer to run Startup Repair - Run up to 3 Separate Times. If necessary download the latest official ISO for your licensed version, burn to stick from Clean Reinstall tutorial in my signature photo below.

I am ok with grub, i know my way around it. Grub is not the issue here. When i had grub, i couldn't load windows, i got BOOTMGR is missing. That was because i put C drive to load windows, when the bootmanager was installed on D(my system hdd failed a few months ago, so i had to resize another one of my partitions, i guess this caused this weird issue with bootmgr on D, and windows loader on C). This was my fault but i didn't see it until i installed easyBCD to see partition tables. I can boot into windows, that is not the issue. I loaded optimized / failsafe defaults in BIOS only to get to the same result. Only windows usb flashdrive works and gets recognized in the bios, the linux drives don't show up. The drives work on my 2nd pc, so thee is no need to reformat them.

We've all said it ourselves or heard it from somebody else… "I could NEVER go vegan." I'm here to explain why you definitely CAN, and why it'll probably be even easier and infinitely more enjoyable than you ever imagined!
Happy Monday, beautiful friends!
For today's post I really want to talk about some obstacles that people anticipate when considering adopting a vegan lifestyle. A lot of people have reservations about a mountain of challenges they expect, and let that keep them from going vegan and improving their lives. This hesitation or worry is totally justified! It's hard to know what such a big life change will bring when you've never experienced it before.
I've been there, too. I remember being vegetarian and saying, "I probably wouldn't go vegan though, it just seems so extreme." Now I literally laugh when I think about myself saying that. I love EVERYTHING about being vegan. I love that I'm not contributing to harming sweet, innocent animals, that I feel physically and mentally healthier and happier than ever, and that I'm causing a much lesser negative impact on our beautiful planet. Today I want to reassure you that the challenges you're anticipating either won't be a problem at all, or that you'll be able to overcome them fairly easily. I want to be clear – this is NOT me telling you that you have to go vegan overnight, and be 100% perfect at it for the rest of your life. My point is that while going vegan can be a huge lifestyle change, it is not as challenging as you may think. It will probably bring many changes, but the longer you do it the easier it is to navigate how to handle any sticky situations you do encounter. I also need to acknowledge that I am extremely privileged in many ways, and realize that this lifestyle may not be feasible for everybody, but here I'm addressing those that can feasibly reach veganism but are nervous for a few different reasons.
First of all, I'm a huge believer that going vegan and staying vegan first begins with your personal motivation. Whether it's for the animals, your health, the environment, or all three, it's so important to understand and be confident in WHY you're making this decision. I came to veganism originally for my health, and that's still so important to me, but now I'm extremely motivated to stay vegan forever for the animals. Do your research and figure out what lights your fire of vegan passion, because that's what will give you the energy to keep with it.
So, here are three common hurdles that may be holding you back from making the leap and going vegan. As usual, these are all my personal experiences, challenges that I once worried about or that others have asked for advice on. As a result, I can only give my personal opinion as far as how to go about responding to any challenges. But I hope that I can give you some confidence moving forward in your vegan journey!
"Eating plant-based is too expensive."
- I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. For me, eating plant-based has been SO much cheaper than not. Think about the staple foods – potatoes, legumes, grains, fruits and vegetables. Those are literally some of the cheapest foods at the grocery store. Yes, if you're buying fancy vegan cheeses, tons of nuts, or other pre-made meals, it will get pricey, but that's true even if you aren't vegan. Vegan "junk food" is typically quite expensive – but we almost never buy those things, because we eat a healthy, whole foods, plant-based diet (not to say that I never indulge, because I do and everybody should!). What I'm saying is those are special indulgences, not something you'll be paying for on a weekly basis. Animal products may be subsidized to be cheap, but you're literally paying to put toxins in your body and give yourself diseases down the road. You're also paying to support killing animals. The saying is, "pay for it now, or pay for it later." You can invest in yourself with incredibly healthy foods that taste great, or you can save that money for hospital bills down the road. Seems like an obvious choice!
"I just like the taste of meat/cheese and I couldn't give it up."
- This one is tricky, because it's not somebody else's place to tell somebody what they like or don't like. Plus, I get that habit change can be HARD. It's hard for most people to even begin to conceive of eating this way, especially when most of us grew up used to the standard American diet. Where to even begin?! What would you even buy at the grocery store? I've been there too, and I totally get that concern. This is where the transition period comes in. If you're nervous or feeling unsure about how to tackle the food component of veganism, just take your time, and decide on your pace. If you're an all in, extreme personality like me, it is definitely doable overnight. But if not, that is completely okay. Take it one food at a time, one meal at a time, or a day at a time. I've said it once and I'll say it over and over – it is not about being perfect, but about about doing your best to do the least harm. If you aren't sure what to eat, check out vegan youtube "What I Eat in a Day" videos. SO many great ideas there. But let's get to the root of the excuse going on here.
- First of all, let's start with the meat thing – think about a plain, cooked piece of meat. I should say raw, because if we were "designed" to eat meat that's how we would take it, but that's a conversation for another time. A plain piece of boiled chicken, or grilled beef, whatever. Nothing to dip in, rubbed on it, nothing. Do you really like how that tastes? Probably not. What you probably do like is the salt, sauces, herbs, spices, and oils with which the meat is cooked. Meat has become a socially ingrained thing, so we're sort of brain washed into thinking that we need it at every meal, and that we are supposed to like it. Naturally though, think about closing your eyes and tasting a piece of fruit and a piece of meat. Your taste buds will perk up with the sweet fruit, and probably gag at a piece of meat.
- Speaking of taste buds – they will change SO much as your diet changes. People typically assume they'll literally drop dead without their cheeseburgers or whatever animal products they're hooked on, but they don't actually try giving themselves enough time when trying new foods. If you give yourself adequate time to adjust, you will stop craving meat and animal products completely, and you'll start to crave healthy foods. Trust me, I ate the standard American diet growing up, I loved cheese and dairy-filled sweets, and now those couldn't sound worse to me. I seriously feel a little sick when I see others eating meat now, because I see it for what it is – an animal that wanted to live. Animal products aren't even food to me anymore.
- I feel amazing because of the foods I eat, and I love these foods SO much. It takes time, but you will fall in love with everything your eating, plus, you'll be discovering so many great foods you never even knew existed before. Don't fall for the salad myth! Yes I eat salad often, but only because I like it. I also eat pancakes, all the fruit I want, tons of potatoes, etc. If you've checked out the recipes on this little blog, it's obvious that I love sweets! The beauty of our modern day society is that there's literally a way to vegan-ize EVERY food you have ever loved. And if you are struggling with the transition, there are so many products that mimic animal products so closely it's almost scary.
- The thing a lot of people don't get about going vegan is you actually don't have to make any sacrifices. While there are a lot of new foods to try like nutritional yeast or lentils and such, I guarantee there are damn good vegan versions of all of your favorite dishes. You can make healthy versions of cheesecake, cookies, pizza, doughnuts, pancakes, and more, all at home, but there are also tons of amazing vegan store-bought options and restaurants depending on your area. While these typically aren't the healthiest options, they're definitely better for you than the animal product versions. And they taste better, too! While a healthy, whole foods, plant-based diet should be the goal, don't worry about having some processed vegan food especially when you're starting to transition. As I've said, you don't have to be perfect in all aspects right away. The bottom line is to eat foods that you enjoy! If you like pizza, eat a freaking vegan pizza and be happy knowing you aren't hurting animals.
"My family/friends won't understand or be accepting."
- This one is HUGE, and I completely understand this hesitation. There have been so many times when I was nervous or hesitant about how to approach social situations, worried about what I would say or do, whether I would have an option for food, how to not come off as rude if I didn't want to eat something. Here's how to tackle this one – be consistent, calm, and confident.
- When you're consistent in your choices, people will see it's not just a phase. It may sound difficult at first, but don't give in and eat animal products when you're first transitioning just because you feel awkward around others. You need to make a commitment so that it will stick, and that won't work if you're going back and forth with foods. Plus, others will get used to your choice and the novelty will wear off.
- When you're calm in responding to any silly vegan jokes from others trying to get a rise out of you, people will get tired of it and move on. We live in a non-vegan world, and all too often people are just plain rude about this lifestyle choice. Some days I succeed in being the positive, happy, radiant vegan I want to be, but other days, or with specific people, I'm just OVER their bullshit and rude, snarky comments. What's important to remember though, is that their rudeness is a reflection of their insecurity within themselves. The fact that you've made this change for your benefit as well as the benefits of countless animals, may cause others to feel guilt or question their own choices, which can manifest in them putting you down. My best advice after experiencing many of these situations myself is to ignore it. Stay calm and try to be positive and come from a place of compassion, even when you're annoyed AF. People get bored when they don't get a reaction. You can try to start a conversation if it seems like it might play out well, but if not, don't feel like you have to awkwardly laugh and just take the jokes. Instead, politely set a firm boundary. You don't need to be mean, but saying something like "It's making me really uncomfortable that you're being so rude about what I'm choosing to put in my body." Typically people will back off, but if they don't, just walk away and know that you're making the best choice for you and so many others. It blows my mind that people give vegans so much shit for making the choice to be freaking compassionate. Like it's SO extreme to not want to slaughter animals…*eye roll* Oh, and if people say it's THEIR personal choice to eat meat, you can also politely put them in their place by saying it's NOT considering countless animals have to be mercilessly tortured and killed because they "like the taste" of something. I'm going on way too long, I'll need to do a separate post about how to respond to frustrating anti-vegan remarks. 🙂
- When you're confident and educated about why you made this choice, confident in how amazing and healthy you feel, people will literally see and feel your passion and want to know more. Educate yourself with as many books, documentaries, and research as you can. This will help you be able to talk about it in an informed way with others, to help them understand your choice and to maybe motivate them to look into it as well. Regardless of the situation, always remember to communicate positively and in a loving way. Don't get frustrated with friends or family that don't understand your choice. Love them as they are. Everybody has their own journey, and when you communicate from a place of positivity and understanding, you'll be better off, and so will those you encounter. You're more likely to get somebody else to really think about why you're doing this when you seem happy to talk about it, rather than angry or defensive. That being said, some people won't get it, and they won't be genuinely interested or curious, and feel free to get semi angry and tell them to fuck off (in nicer terms, of course, by setting a boundary similar to the way I mentioned above). Just do your best to keep being the consistent, calm, confident, beautiful human that you are. 🙂
- People often worry about social traditions. This was a big one for me, personally, because I love family traditions, and many revolve around food. I used to love baking cookies at Christmas with my mom, or enjoying a big thanksgiving meal with my family. I didn't love the meat and animal products involved, but I did love the social aspect and cherished the family time. The good news is, when it comes to traditions, it's almost always extremely easy to make them vegan. There are literally millions of vegan recipes for the food aspect, it's almost overwhelming, but makes it so easy! You're still a part of your family, you won't be disowned, and you're still living in line with your values. Another way to overcome this is to always give your family a heads up, let them know what you are or are not comfortable with, and support them in helping to tweak any traditions so that all can still enjoy them. For example, offer to help make a few vegan dishes at thanksgiving in addition to (or instead of!) the normal stuff. Don't scream about having no vegan options – help to create some. Family and friends often WANT to be accommodating, but don't know how and are nervous to ask. So help them! They'll be happy to be making you happy, and you'll be happy because you still are part of traditions, and they're now in line with your values. The bottom line is, all humans are quite self-centered. People don't care all that much what you eat, so don't stress too much about it. I know it's easier said than done, but at the end of the day, you have to stop caring what others think and worry about you! If you want to live this way to be a healthier, happier, more compassionate person, others should be cheering from the rooftops for you. And if they aren't – who cares!
- At the end of the day, the social aspect is a big one that people worry about, and I totally get that. All I can say is that with time, it really becomes a nonissue. People get used to it, and many will genuinely want to know more and may try making changes themselves. I'm extremely blessed to have a very supportive family and friends, but I know not everybody has that. I'll say it over and over – just stay positive and loving. People won't attack you if you're calm and confident in your communication. And if they do, they aren't someone you should be hanging out with. Just like you love your non-vegan friends just as they are, they should love you the same way. Oh, and don't always feel obligated to bring up your veganism. Especially at a meal, unless somebody asks you, you don't have say anything. If people ask me, of course I LOVE discussing it. But if not, just do your thing and let other people do theirs. You don't need to scream from the rooftops if you feel like it won't be well-received. Just be you, make your own choices like the adult you are, and keep it moving.
- Ultimately, I've come to realize that I can't worry about what others think of me all the time. Some people poke fun about what I eat, and I genuinely do not care anymore. Sometimes I get worked up and frankly angry as fuck, mostly for the animals' sake. But like I've said, everybody has their own way of coming to this lifestyle, and I would never try to force somebody to see what I've seen. The bottom line with the social aspect is to always be kind, loving, and polite to others, but don't let other people's judgment or rudeness get to you. And while I always go with a positive, gentle approach, I do think it's important to stand up for yourself and let people know if they really are out of line or saying something rude and hurtful. Also, there are so many amazing communities online if you need vegan friends and don't have any near you! But anyway – your personal choice is just that – your choice. What you put in your mouth is nobody's decision but yours. Just know in your heart that you are doing good for yourself and the animals, and even if one person doesn't get that, at least you made them think. Know that a lot of times when people attack you about your healthy choices, it's a projection of their insecurity or unhappiness with theirs. Which again, is why it's important to always come from a place of love and positivity, as that's what most of the haters really need!
You're amazing for even thinking about doing better for yourself, the animals, and the planet. YOU CAN DO IT! I'm here rooting for you every step of the way. Hugs 🙂0

A "rough" rule of thumb states that MAF readings are equivalent to 80% of HP. The BEST MAF readings that I could achieve with my heavily modified S4 (stage 2++) which is a tad below having K04 turbos was 272 g/s (grams/sec). That's approximately 340 HP. If I didn't have the HOT BREATHING EVOMS K&N Intake - I would proably yield slightly better nbrs. I can't think of STOCK (non-chipped) S4s running anywhere near those type of MAF readings - based on my 4 year trolling of AudiWorld and this list. If u want to say that a stock S4 is around 260 - 265 HP (like the Euro nbrs) - ok - but 300 HP - I beg to differ! Henry Nisiewicz <hjn0316 at earthlink.net> wrote: All of which assumes that the B5 S4 has just 250 hp. Making comparisons in performance between the B5 A4 with the 2.8 l V-6, and the B5 RS-4, along with comparisons of other early 2000-1 cars with comparable horsepower and weight, leads me to believe that Audi understated the horsepower at 250. It probably is closer to 300 or 300+. I've also gotten some unofficial agreement from people within Audi on that issue over the past several years.

Some donors to Donald Trump's presidential campaign recently discovered that it's difficult to cancel recurring monthly donations on the campaign's website.
A CNN reporter tweeted an email he received detailing one donor's frustrations about trying to cancel the payments in early August.
INBOX: Help, I set up a recurring contribution to Trump's campaign & want to cancel it: (cc: @realDonaldTrump) pic.twitter.com/TFOHhdZDlJ— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) August 4, 2016
Subsequently, the news website Mic did an investigation comparing the process of canceling donations to Trump and Hillary Clinton's campaigns. When donors signed up to make monthly donations to Clinton's campaign, the confirmation email they received included a separate email address they could use to ask questions about their donation; Trump's confirmation email did not include such an address.
Clinton's campaign website also included a prominently-placed button for removing a credit card (to stop the recurring payments); it was unclear on Trump's website how to remove a credit card, Mic concluded. The site also found that removing a card from Trump's site required a few additional steps, including clicking on a small gray question mark, which directed a user to a separate page in order to "manage" a donation to Trump's campaign. From there, it's possible to cancel a monthly payment.
Trump's campaign, which didn't respond to MarketWatch's request for comment, isn't the only entity making recurring charges difficult to cancel. In fact, now that it's common for consumers to set up automatic credit card payments for bills and subscription services, they're increasingly finding unwanted charges on their bills.
The startup Handy, which allows consumers to sign up for home-cleaning services, was the subject of an episode of the podcast "Reply All" in 2015 because of the difficulty a consumer had canceling the service. (Handy now has clear instructions on its site about how to cancel).
Fabletics, the company actress Kate Hudson co-founded, which is owned by retail company JustFab and manufactures athletic clothing, has faced similar complaints about being difficult to cancel. In response, the company has since changed some of its practices. "Customers who accidentally sign up for membership are costly to the business, so we do everything we can to avoid that from happening," said a Fabletics spokesman in an email. He said it should be obvious to consumers based on the Fabletics website that they are signing up for a subscription service.
Consumers have also had complaints about Adore Me, a lingerie subscription service; they didn't realize that they were automatically enrolling for the company's VIP program, which involves a nearly $40 monthly fee. It was also difficult for them to cancel their subscriptions, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), a nonprofit based in Arlington, Virginia, that rates companies and charities according to quality and how closely they adhere to BBB's standards. Adore Me is in the process of making improvements to its website, a spokeswoman said in an email, with the goal of making sure customers can see they have a choice between the VIP program and paying as they go. Customers can also now unsubscribe from the service and request refunds on the company's website, rather than having to call or send an email.
The BBB lists requirements for subscriptions and automatic shipments in its Code of Advertising. Sites should have opt-in features for recurring payments that are "prominently disclosed and explained." They must also be easy to cancel, and their terms shouldn't be buried in fine print, the code states.
Consumers can file complaints with the BBB; if the bureau sees a pattern with the complaints, it will bring the issue up with the company at fault. If the company doesn't fix the issue, a BBB spokeswoman said in an email, they may end up with an "F" rating with the BBB, which may also escalate the issue to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FTC files complaints with relevant courts on behalf of consumers who feel they have been duped by companies, including those with "deceptive offers" online.
JustFab and Fabletics are now accredited with the BBB after addressing previous complaints; Fabletics has an "A-" rating. Handy Technologies Inc., known as Handy, is not yet accredited, according to the BBB's website and has a rating of "B-". Adore Me is not accredited with the BBB and has a rating of "D+."
What to do if you find an unwanted charge
It's a good idea to keep a spreadsheet or other list of every recurring payment one has, said Matt Schulz, a senior industry analyst at the credit-card website CreditCards.com.
It may also be smart to set up online or calendar alerts when subscriptions or short-term promotions are set to end, so that consumers can unsubscribe during the correct time frame.
But if a consumer discovers unwanted charges even after attempting to cancel a service, it's best to take the complaint to the credit-card issuer, which can handle the dispute for the consumer, including potentially refunding previous charges, Schulz said.
He recommended letting an issuer know about the unwanted charge as soon as possible.
Consumers should issue a written complaint to their issuers within 60 days after a charge has appeared on a credit-card statement in order to have full legal rights to dispute the charge, according to the Fair Credit Billing Act.
That written letter should include the consumer's name and account number, describe the error that occurred (including the type of error, the date it happened and the amount) and why the consumer believes there was an error, according to a spokesman for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The FTC has an online sample of a letter consumers can use to dispute a charge.
If a consumer does this, the company that charged him or her must resolve the complaint within two complete billing cycles; that process must not take longer than 90 days, according to the Fair Credit Billing Act.
While the card issuer investigates the dispute, the consumer does not have to pay the disputed charge, and the card issuer can't charge interest on that amount.
Several credit-card issuers include information about how to dispute charges on their websites, including American Express AXP, +1.97% , Discover DFS, +0.75% and Citi C, -0.43% .
It can be helpful to take notes during the process of trying to cancel a subscription or dispute a charge, including the names of customer-service representatives consumers encounter during that process, Schulz said. "The better records you keep, the better off you'll be in getting things handled," he said.

I thought I'd take a break from cozy mysteries and read a real mystery for a change. This one was recommended by a friend, with the caveat that it was gory. And there were moments when it was a little bloody, but after reading Stuart MacBride, I 'd have to say it was lite gory. Like, PG-13 gory, not R gory.
DI Jack Caffrey is called out to an industrial field where a woman is found brutally murdered. Soon, more bodies are found and Jack finds himself caught up in the search for a sexual serial killer that he must stop before it's too late.
I enjoyed the book, it was more than your stereotypical police procedural. Steady pacing kept the plot going through the book with no dragging in the middle when the action thins out. I liked that the mindset of the killer was explored in a little more detail through inner dialogue and memories, giving the character more dimension.
I have to say, the little "cliffhangers" throughout the story kind of annoyed me. From the 5 objects they pulled out during the autopsies that wasn't revealed until a chapter or 2 later to Jack's leaps of intuition that launched him into action that isn't detailed to the reader until after, it's just a messy way of writing. It doesn't add intrigue or suspense, it just pisses me off.
Overall, an enjoyable first in a series, and a creepy, unsettling read. This would make a great Halloween read.

Cabrillo National Monument
ListenLocated on the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, the Cabrillo National Monument is a large statue dedicated to Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer who, on behalf of Spain, explored the west coast of North America. The monument marks the location where he set foot on what is now San Diego, California in 1542. Cabrillo was the first European to land on the west coast. The monument is located in a small park that is also home to the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which was built in 1855. On special occasions, visitors can climb up inside it to enjoy the view of the bay and the ocean. A visitor center and hiking trails are also located in the park.
California designated this area as a historical landmark in 1932 and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The site also a California Historical Landmark and a U.S. Historic District.
In 1913 President Woodrow Wilson reserved half an acre to construct a monument honoring Cabrillo. A statue was created but it never shipped to San Diego. In 1939, the Portuguese government made a new sandstone statue and donated it to the United States. However, it was put into storage as California had nowhere to display it. Finally, in 1949, the Cabrillo monument was finally installed on its current location. A new limestone statue was eventually created since the original deteriorated after due to its exposure to harsh weather. This statue still stands today.
The Point Loma Lighthouse sits on top of a high ocean crest which rises 422 ft. above sea level. The U.S Coastal Guard found this to be a suitable location and decided to build the lighthouse in 1854. However, the lighthouse was in operation for only 36 years because fog often blocked the light from extending far out to see. As a result, in 1891 the lighthouse was relocated to a new location.

Years of training and sacrifice go into the dream of representing your country and on Monday I was proud to meet some of the elite Australian athletes who will fulfil that dream when they compete in the London Paralympic Games.
The City of Sydney is throwing its support behind these athletes as an official team sponsor.
(Photo: farewelling Paralympic athletes [left to right] Kylie Gauchi, Tina McKenzie, Sarah Stewart and Grant Mizens)
Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) CEO Jason Hellwig spoke about the immense amount of preparation which has gone into getting the Australian team ready for the London 2012 Games, and I was joined on stage at Town Hall by goalballer Michelle Rzepecki and basketballers Kylie Gauci and Grant Mizens to talk about their preparations and aspirations.
Grant and fellow Australian gold medal-winning Paralympic athlete, swimmer Katrina Porter, are blogging for the City as they make their final preparations for the Games and throughout the competition in London.
More than 4,200 Paralympic athletes from 160 countries will compete across 20 sports in London from 29 August-9 September.
Australia will field a highly competitive team across 13 sports. We have competed in every Paralympics and the team has finished in the top five on the gold medal tally at every Games since Atlanta in 1996.
I know many people look back on the Sydney Olympic and Paralympic Games with pride. Our City was at its best and we want to ensure there is a continuing legacy from those incredible events.
The City will partner with the Australian Paralympic Committee to raise the profile of the athletes at London 2012 and their achievements during the Games.
We'll host a series of community events over the next 12 months, as well as a welcome home celebration in November.
Increasing awareness of the contribution and needs of people living with a disability is an important part of the City of Sydney's role in promoting social inclusion and diversity.
I'm sure you join me in wishing all our Paralympians good luck in London.

MOP – Motivation, Organisation and Procrastination!
When we get a new idea, or a goal or have an achievement in mind, we are filled with enthusiasm, motivation explodes within us.
And, generally, we can't wait to begin. So we start to get organised. We gather the tools and resources we will need. We create plans, timetables. We buy the new stuff we need to realise the new-found dream. We organise our office or shed or home ready for action.
After the joy of motivation, the satisfaction of organisation comes …
"God, I'm exhausted by all that."
"There's so much to do, I don't know where to begin."
"It's a bit late to start now. I'll leave it until tomorrow."
And tomorrow? Well, all that time spent being motivated and getting organised for the new means we neglected the existing. So we need to catch up. So the new project, dream, target is pushed back a little more.
Human beings procrastinate. It seems to be built in and it is a big problem. What to do?
Try applying the two-minute rule! If it takes less than two minutes – do it now.
Most worthwhile projects, of course, take a lot longer than two minutes to complete. But nothing takes longer than two minutes to begin!
So begin now. And "persevere" for just two minutes.
Want to put up a shelf? Mark out the piece of wood. Less than two minutes.
Saw to length. Less than two minutes.
Draw a line on the wall with your spirit level. Less than two minutes.
Drill holes for the brackets. Less than two minutes.
And so on.
Pretty much anything can be broken down into two-minute chunks.
And the funny thing is – starting tends to bring back that motivation. You suddenly find those two-minute chunks merging together.
From marking the wood you find you have reached bracket fixing.
From writing a sentence you find you have completed a chapter.
Whatever you want to do – start!
I make no guarantees but it has to be worth investing two minutes, doesn't it?

Awareness Programme
It is a pity that in India 80% of cases are detected at terminal stage when treatment becomes highly expensive. The poor and middle-class families go under debt and the future of the children sometimes gets ruined. It is predicted that the death in coming years due to cancer alone will be equivalent to the joint death due to Heart Attack, T. B., AIDS and Road Accidents. So the awareness is the only Key mantra.
The organisation is proud to be associated with the National Cancer Control Programme and Hepatitis Awareness Campaign (being run by Govt. of India) and working as per the guidelines of World Health Organisation (WHO).
