Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has caught some flak for recent statements he made denouncing the NFL player anthem protests. Prescott told the Dallas Morning News that he believed the protests took away from the fun and purpose of the game by bringing controversy.
"I never protest," Prescott said.
"I never protests during the anthem, and I don't think that's the time or venue to do so. The game of football has always brought me such peace, and I think it does the same for a lot of people – a lot of people playing the game, a lot of people watching the game, a lot of people who have any impact of the game – so when you bring controversy to the stadium, to the field, to the game it takes away. It takes away from that, it takes away from the joy and the love that football brings a lot of people."
Prescott clarified further later that he respects the players right to protest. But, he prefers actions as opposed to silent demonstrations.
His words caught the attention of new Raiders linebacker Tahir Whitehead who tweeted:
"Sounds like Dak don't wanna lose that Campbells Chunky Soup deal!"
The signal-caller's stance on the protests aligns with his boss and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who recently stated that his players will stand for the national anthem in the 2018 season.
While the Cowboys don't have the Raiders on their schedule this year, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the league reacts to Prescott's opinion, both on and off the field.

Jamaica's Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, Declares the Opening of Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall 'Monumental'
The official grand opening ceremony for Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, Hyatt's first dual-branded all inclusive resort in Jamaica, was celebrated on March 20, 2015.
From l. to r: Minister of Tourism, Dr. Wyckham McNeill; Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller; Hyatt Zilara & Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, GM, Carl Hendriks; Playa CEO, Bruce Wardinski.
Jamaica's Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, touted the opening as a 'monumental milestone for Jamaica's tourism.' The Prime Minister joined the resort's owners and operators, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V. (Playa), in a ribbon cutting ceremony and gala evening to mark the official opening of the 620 guestroom resort that is the culmination of more than an $85 million dollar renovation and recreation of this iconic beachfront site at Rose Hall.
Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller said, "The opening of resorts like these is significant for the tourism industry, our economy and our people. We want our industry to grow not simply in quantity but in quality, and the new Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara Hotels represent quality."
Bruce Wardinski, Chief Executive Officer of Playa said, "The celebration is a culmination of joint efforts among Playa, the people of Jamaica, and Hyatt. For almost two years we have collectively worked to bring to life a sophisticated and inspired resort that would reflect the warmth and gracious service of Jamaica in an exhilarating and unique environment. As I see these concepts come to life through all of the resort's many special touches and island firsts, I can only thank our partners and our fantastic resort staff led by General Manager Carl Hendriks."
"We are delighted to celebrate the arrival of Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall and Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall at this vibrant destination with the local community and resort owners," said Carlos Cabrera, Senior Vice President of all inclusive operations for Hyatt. "The resort transformation has been spectacular and true to offering two distinctive all inclusive experiences, for families and for adults, within one contiguous resort destination. We look forward to welcoming back guests and inviting new Hyatt guests to discover the breadth of activities or relaxation they seek from a Jamaican getaway."

Passenger Farted So Bad During Flight, That It Caused An Emergency Landing
YouCantBreakMe ^ | 5/21/18 | James Merritt
Posted on 5/22/2018, 8:40:11 AM by Duke C.
what was supposed to be a normal flight to the Netherlands turned out to be something else.
You see, this plane left Dubai for Amsterdam Schiphol but had to veer off to Vienna when a case of persistent farting ended up in a fistfight.
Now, this whole problem started when an elderly man started farting. But despite the disapproval from 2 other guys sat beside him, he continued.[snip]But unfortunately, nothing was done to stop the farting. They were sentenced to taking this unhealthy a** gas throughout the duration of the flight.

Considering a social media strategy for your business? Great! You're on the right track!
Social media & digital marketing are the fastest growing sectors of advertising at the moment and having a clear, concise goal for these assets is imperative. There are 3 questions you should consider before beginning a social media strategy. Let's dive in!
When you start your social media strategy, you must think of:
1. WHO will maintain your social voice?
2. WHAT do I expect to get out of social media?
3. WHEN is the optimal time to make posts?
No Social Media Strategy?
Great, you've come to the right place.
#1. WHO will maintain your social voice?
Yes, handing over the reins of your social media marketing can be hard. You are entrusting someone with the identity of your company. They are going to be responsible for creating and fostering a community of brand enthusiasts.
When you make the decision of WHOM, you MUST make sure that this person is very well aware of your current marketing efforts so that all mediums are consistent with each other. Then, they must be able to create engaging and consistent content. If you're online and there is no movement, you might as well just log off. The more your brand sits there with no content or incentives, the bigger the chance for people to unlike your page and move on to someone who actually communicates with them. Giving someone control of your social media marketing is giving someone control of a 24/7/365 advertisement for your company. WHO is knowledgeable enough about your business to be given this amount of responsibility?
We will be covering the next two questions in tomorrow's blog, Social Media Strategy: Part Two, so stay tuned! If you have questions in the meantime, contact us by submitting the form above!

"Hi Krystyna, I am very glad to have found your blog.
From personal experience, I know that millions of people on the planet simply do not have time for dating in an age when everyone lives on the Internet.
For those who have yet to find their soulmate, I have written a special review about one of my favorite dating sites, Victoria Hearts.com, which I often recommend to my friends. Boasting more than a decade of being on the market, it has already connected thousands of lonely hearts and hundreds of marriages.
It is said, however, that Russian and Ukrainian women are curious about foreigners.
If you really want to date a Ukrainian lady – you have come to the right place!
The swastika (as a character 卐 or 卍) is an ancient religious icon used in the Indian subcontinent, East Asia and Southeast Asia, where it has been and remains a sacred symbol of spiritual principles in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
However, if reading this review has rejuvenated your interest in meeting a feminine, sophisticated woman from Ukraine, Belarus, or Russia, then register at Victoria now and use all the tips I mentioned above.
We provide you with numerous dating profiles of Russian and Ukrainian girls.

Yet another ridiculously late catch up.
Mostly because nothing has been happening. I'm a slave to my writing desk at the moment.
Also, to cooking. My hand is coming on leaps and bounds. I have full movement back, except for my little finger which remains slightly crooked, but doesn't cause any problems. My wrist is still a little tight and sore, but slowly improving. I can now do most things with ease, including cooking - which I've been doing a lot of to catch up.
|Fruit Salad
(banana, home grown papaya, passion fruit and tree tomato)
Despite all of this, Joanna says there's 'less of me' every time she sees me. We both agree that the UK is a terrible place for our waistlines.
I've also been having fun with fuzzy kittens.
Reminds me a little bit of Sula.
I absolutely refuse to have cats again. I've turned down both Jo and my new friend Pieter. It's just too hard to leave them behind, and without the certainty of a visa extension in January, who knows when I'll be leaving. If I get the extension, I might revisit the question, but my landlord doesn't like cats and he's my next door neighbour.
However, I have nothing against feeding them if they're in my garden. They're feral and terrified of me anyway. No danger of them becoming house cats.
I might have accidentally bought two boxes of Go Cat at Sawa Siti yesterday.
Haven't seen the kittens since.
Had an absolutely lovely evening meeting Pieter. He runs Thespis Consulting and got in contact after seeing my post about creative writing. He lives in Gikondo with his adopted son. I went for dinner and, as always, discovered we know half the same people. Stayed chatting until midnight, then turned into a pumpkin.
On Thursday, I went to the final presentation of a human rights organisation in Kigali. I ran the program last year. This year my (then) program assistant, Maja, was country director. She did an excellent job.
Nice presentation with traditional dancing and an in-depth chat about human rights.
It was a little strange. It feels like only last week Maja arrived in-country. The same night I burnt my hand! (She pulled me out of the fire!). In fact, it's been about three months, and other than two nights at my place, I've only seen her once during that time. Now she's leaving.
I'm off to a party at her place tonight. Looking forward to it. I've been so engrossed in writing it's like the whole world disappeared. It would be nice to visit it again.
Annoyingly, there's a guy I'm hoping might be there. He was one of the participants on the program last year, so I never really looked at him because I assumed he was under twenty-five. Turns out he lied about his age to get on. We're almost the same age. He helped me out with the second intake, and became an honorary member of the staff's Team Majoga (The Drunks) for services rendered.
Annoyingly, I find him quite attractive.
He came out with us the night of Maja's last party. We almost talked, but I was broken, inebriated and surrounded by strange blokes, so decided just to go back inside and keep drinking. He was at the conference the other day, too. Long story short, but we walked out together and agreed to have a drink. "Call me," he said. Uh-uh. "Call me," I said.
It's a take-it-or-leave-it tactic. If he calls, I'll go. If he doesn't, nothing missed.
I don't like the idea of seeing a past participant. It still feels like cradle snatching after so long thinking he was younger than he is, his friends seem to think he's a bit of a player, and he just introduced me to someone as 'the boss'. I'm all for fantasy roleplay, but I ain't nobody's boss no more. Lot of reasons not to go there.
Still, he does look good in a suit.

Phobia Support Group
A phobia (from the Greek "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

i'm in trouble here
i have a horrible phobia of flying and my sister and daughter have pushed me to fly from nc to calif..i have to leave sat..i can't take tranquilizers or drink because of a bad liver..i just heard about the plane crash in ny..i'm realy on the edge here don't want to do anything stupid
WOW, Kathy, I just finished writing an entry in my journal, saying how I'm crying hysterically while watching the report on the plane crash in NY!!! I have phobias to water and to flying in a plane. So watching the report really triggered tremendous sadness in me. I wish I could offer you advice, but I say you are not alone. I feel so bad that you cannot take tranquilizers because I'm sure that would be the only way I would ever get on a plane. Sending you hugs of support.
thankyou sweetgirl..i just called a pharmacist and he said that valium or zanax just for the two flight would probably be safe..thankyou for relating and understanding
I was reading about it last night. I forget what the statistics are, but its very rare! Xanax will probably be good, and use some calming stratagies. I hope everything goes well for you, maybe when you fly- you'll realize you love it! Take care!!
hi, i too am afraid to fly, i did once, but never again. everyone says flying is better then driving, more accidents driving. i took 2 mg. colopin and i was still nervous. like sweetgirl said your not alone. people fly every day, so you go, and be safe. ask GOD to glide your plane there and back home. he will. GOD BLESS. ronna
made the plane trip to and from calif..so glad i faced that fear..now if i could just do something about all my other phobias lol...fear is a horrible thing to be plaqued with.
wow!! I'm so proud of you. You did it!! Yes, fear is extremely hard to deal with. It really feels good after you get through it though. Keep working at it :)
thanks greenbut after all these plane crashes lately i'm wondering if i'm realy over it even though i managed to make it to cali and back lol fear itself is the enemy here i think...the news media doesn't help..i've had to laugh at myself a few times...got a glimps of my shadow and jumped lol scared of my own shadow...sigh

Whether you're a first-timer or consider on your own experienced in the real estate market, there are some things you must always bear in mind when renting a home in Vinings, Atlanta. This list will help you to choose a home that will ideally make you appreciate your rental experience.
Spending plan
This is most likely one of the most vital factor to think about. Decide at an early stage just how much you are willing to spend and how much you won't review. If you're on a tight budget, you may intend to identify just what services you agree to do without; similarly, if you fit with investing a bit more money, you will also want to figure out what various other expenses you agree to cut down on offset the price of rental fee. Taking into consideration the area and the prices for real estate in Vinings, you could likewise determine if an acquisition will certainly be worth your loan or otherwise. Some research study will certainly be needed in this field. Asking household as well as buddies for their experience could be a good area to begin.
Housing conditions
Do not think that images of a home will certainly be completely representative of the real living problems. Your best option will be to prepare a time to in fact check out the site and also make a decision for yourself if you could see on your own living there. The location may not be excellent, however keep in mind that some small problems are redeemable as well as can be dealt with in a prompt manner, like busted door manages or light bulbs. The things you need to watch out for are the ones that will certainly position a larger issue, specifically referring to health and safety. Exist broken home windows? Problems with pests or mites? If it's winter months, does the heating unit job correctly?
If you're leasing an area, you will desire a proprietor that can be reached quickly for any type of feasible need for repairs around your home. If it's a property administration firm, you could check out reviews other people have uploaded online about their experience. You do not intend to cope with a malfunctioning ac system in the summertime, sending out e-mails and texts and calling your property owner only to get more info be addressed a week later on.
Living anywhere also implies you are residing in the bordering area. Prior to making any kind of decisions, constantly make sure that you like the neighborhood. Is it an especially risk-free atmosphere? Exactly how usually exist break-ins or burglaries? Exist grocery stores nearby or restaurants in case you want to grab a quick bite?
This is the last but probably most important part. Examine the lease making certain just what you're obtaining right into. If there are some points you desire that are not suggested on the lease, think about working out with the property manager to see if exceptions can be made.

PROVO — Forty consecutive victories.
That was what the Red Rocks were aiming for Friday night at the Marriott Center on the campus of Brigham Young University.
Utah had defeated the rival Cougars 39 straight times in gymnastics, including multiple wins a season ago, and yet there were moments in the Deseret First Duel where that run, as impressive as it had been, appeared in jeopardy.
A slow start by the Utes, coupled with a strong outing by the Cougars, put pressure on the Red Rocks early and continued strong outings by Cougar gymnasts kept said pressure on most of the night.
Led by MyKayla Skinner, as well as clutch performances by the likes of Macey Roberts and Adrienne Randall, Utah thrived under threat of defeat, however, and upended BYU once again.
The Utes defeated the Cougars 197.250-196.475.
"I think this overall score is good. It wasn't the start we were looking for, that confident and aggressive start you want, but I was happy with the recovery. This team fought through the night."
Utah co-head coach Tom Farden
Skinner claimed the all-around title with a 39.600 and tied her career-high on vault with a 9.975. Roberts recorded a career-high of her own (9.900), also on vault, as did sophomore Alexia Burch (9.875). Randall, meanwhile, anchored the Utah beam rotation and her career-high of 9.875 sealed the win.
"I think this overall score is good," Utah co-head coach Tom Farden said. "It wasn't the start we were looking for, that confident and aggressive start you want, but I was happy with the recovery. This team fought through the night."
"We went toe for toe with them," BYU head coach Guard Young added. "We needed a crack and they didn't give us one. I think we showed everyone in the arena that we belonged out there tonight."

Scorpion Secures Financing for Offshore Mischief Payment
Scorpion Offshore Ltd. secured financing of $27.7 million (the "Note"), which will be used to meet the current progress payment under the Offshore Mischief construction contract.
The Note is unsecured and has a duration of 6 months and is being provided by the Company's largest shareholder, Seadrill Limited, at a coupon of 16% per annum.
The final remaining payment to the shipyard of $26.1 million is due at delivery of the Offshore Mischief which is scheduled for 30 April 2010.
The Offshore Mischief is currently being marketed for sale. The sale of the Offshore Mischief would eliminate any requirement for any additional Company funding and provide the necessary funds to repay the Note.
Scorpion Offshore Ltd is a Bermuda based corporation founded in 2005, which owns 6 state-of-the-art offshore jackup rigs built between 2007 to 2009, with one additional identical rig under construction.

Smart technology to remind parents a child is in the back seat
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) -- You've seen and read the stories online, seen them on TV, and they happen all too often - a baby dies after being forgotten in a hot car.
"I think a lot of parents say, 'yeah that would never be me,' but it's a concern," Lynchburg mother Samantha Coleman said.
More than 700 children have died from heatstroke in cars since 1998, according to No Heat Stroke, and so far this year there have been 20 infant deaths.
Samantha Coleman and her child tested out four different smart technologies that alert parents when a baby is left in the back seat.
Price: $29,000
The alert system is activated when you open and close the back door. After you arrive at your destination and turn off the car, the alarm sounds and a message appears on your dashboard.
Coleman missed the alarm the first time it sounded off.
"I didn't notice it at first," Coleman said. "I think if you own the car, especially, you would just learn to ignore it."
Other GM models also feature this technology.
Price: $150
A receiver plugs into the On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port in the car, which connects with the chest clip transmitter on the strap of the seat. Once the car is turned on and the driver starts moving, the sensor system is activated.
As the driver reaches his or her destination and turns the car off, the beeper goes off.
"I really like the car seat, I thought it was useful," Coleman said.
Price: $60
The device attaches to the car seat and a key fob goes on your key chain.
When you fasten the seatbelt, the device is activated.
If you walk away more than 15 feet without unfastening the clip on the seat, the key fob starts beeping.
"I think it's pretty useful and it seems that anyone could use it," Coleman said.
Price: free
Download the app and go to settings. Under general click on the Child Reminder. From here, type in your destination. Once you arrive at your destination the Child Reminder alert pops up on your screen. It worked for us, but there's a catch.
"The waze app was interesting, but only effective if you put your destination in every time," Coleman said.
In other words, if the driver doesn't use the app, the alert won't pop up.
We want to give you full disclosure on this story.
The GMC Acadia car seat and safety monitor were both mailed or temporarily given to us by the companies to test.

I mentioned the last time I made a character that I only had two games left from the Haiti bundle, which were Roma Imperious and the Karma Roleplaying System. As I am on Xmas break, and I'm not gaming today, and the weather outside has turned from shitty rain to sloppy snow, and I have nothing in particular to do today outside of running an errand for my mother, I think I'll do this game and thus close out that particular batch of RPGs.
Incidentally, I'm planning on making more characters while on break, so if anybody reading this has suggestions or requests for which games I should do, I'd love to hear 'em.
The Game: Karma Roleplaying System
The Publisher: Bards and Sages
Degree of Familiarity: None. It reads a lot like your basic D&D clone, but I admit I'm skimming.
Books Required: Just the one, but see below.
So, Karma has a lot more support than I thought, but again, it reads a lot like D&D in that it's a trad game, uses a d20 + some numbers, and it's just a system. There's a lot of focus up front on deciding what kind of setting your group is using and what that means as far as magic, expectations, genre, and so on, which is cool. What I'm missing is some examples - there are a few little paragraphs like this:
No real step-by-step world-building with the whole group involved, though. I admit, however, that given that this game came out in 2008, that kind of play wasn't terribly common anyway (I mean, universal systems are much older than that, but the kind of collaborative world-building I'm talking about wasn't really a thing), so it's not really fair to get persnickety about that.
It does mean, though, that I need a setting before I can really make a character. I normally make magic-using characters, but reading ahead, I see that they have a different and more complex system, and I'm not sure I'm up for that today. Hmm. Oh, heavens, look at this, though: I have a thing called Karmic Revelations that gives us a post-apocalyptic world in which to play Karma, and thus gives me a setting to work with. How nice.
Well, the character creation section of Revelations explains that there's no magic in this irradiated wasteland, so we replace Mana with Adrenaline. Cool, sounds good. Also it gives us a list of Mutations, some of which are from the Karma core with some tweaks. One of those is Blind, which in Revelations means (or can mean, I hope) that you just don't have eye sockets and that can garner some weird reactions. Personally I think there are some other Mutations that are much more jarring, but whatevs. I think maybe I'll go in that direction for my character, kind of a Book of Eli thing without all the heavy-handed religious BS.
So, where do we start? We start with Attributes...oh, lord. I hope I'm reading this wrong.
OK, so there are three categories of Attributes (Physical, Cerebral, and Spiritual). Each category has four Attributes. You prioritize categories just like this was a White Wolf game, but you only get 3/2/1, which means that of your 12 Attributes, at least half of them have a rating of 0. According to the book, having a rating of 0 means that you have a handicap or something that prevents you from making full use of that Attribute. Why...in the hell...?
(If you've been reading, you know I hate games that make incompetent starting characters, so this one is a special kind of hell for me. But again, maybe I'm reading it wrong. This is why examples of character creation are helpful.)
Oh, OK! Jesus! You start with one in each Attribute automatically. Whew. So how would I get a 0? Maybe there are drawbacks or something that lower them. Anyway, much better. OK, so I'm gonna prioritize Cerebral, because I know my guy has no eyes and I don't want to make him a blind seer or whatever. I'll put my secondary in Spiritual, though, which leaves my tertiary in Physical. I'll put that one lone point into Constitution. For Spiritual, I'll put both points into Empathy. For Cerebral, I'll put two into Intellect and one into Wits. What's next?
Abilities! Abilities (skills, basically) are divided into groups. If you've got a point in a given ability, it's trained, and you add the higher of a given Attribute pair to a roll. If it's untrained, you use the lower. Sounds reasonable. I get a free point in each group (which seems intuitive enough, except that each ability in the Combat Group is called "weapon group, [whatever]", which was confusing for a second), and then 10 more to put anywhere.
Since the setting I'm working with has no magic, I can skip Magic Group. So. For my freebies, I'll put one into Weapon Group (Simple), which is stuff like "pick up a rock and hit someone with it." I don't feel the need to put more points into combat stuff; I'll pay this game the complement of assuming that a character without explicit combat skills would still be viable.
For Knowledge Group, I'll put my free point into Humanities, and then I'll put one point each into Mechanical Aptitude and Social Sciences. 8 points remaining.
For Social Group, I'll put my freebie into Diplomacy, and I'll put one of my other points in there as well, plus one more into Resolve. 6 left.
For Talent Group, I'll put my freebie into Alertness, and then I'll put one into Alertness, Leadership, and Linguistics. 3 left.
Wellness Group! I'll put one into Mental Health, and then I'll put one into Reflexes. That leaves me with 2, so I'll put one into Linguistics (for a total of 2) and the other one into Reflexes.
Now, Specialities. I get 2 of them, and I take them in Abilities where I have 2 or more. That means I can take Specialities in (hang on):
Cool, OK. I'll put one into Linguistics for Translations, and one into Alertness for Listening.
Then I can take a Profession, I think? This gives me a suite of bonuses to existing traits to reflect training and experience in whatever my line of work is. I like this idea, actually, though now I have to think about my character a little more.
OK, then. I love language and translation, and I think it'd be cool to have a character who has an ear for such things (though of course visual communication is beyond him). I think we'll assume he was born to two people from different cultures and grew up speaking both of their languages (which languages those are would require me reading the backstory for Revelations, so stick a pin in that). I'll put my free Attribute point in Intellect, raising it to 4, and I'll put my free Ability points into Linguistics and Presence. I'll take a Specialty in Etiquette (under Presence).
So then there are some derived traits, but as we know, those should go after the bonus point stage, because the bonus points can raise your base traits. Grr. Anyway, skipping ahead to bonus points, I get 15. Oh, wait, powers work differently than I thought, but because I'm using the Revelations setting, I get one mutation to start with, so I'm gonna choose Blind. Aaaaand there's nowhere to write powers or mutations on sheet. Well, never mind, I know I have it.
OK, cool, so I have 15 freebie/bonus points. Attributes are 5 each, and that seems like the best high for the buy. I'll buy up Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma to 2.
Now the derived traits. Damage Threshold is 12, Adrenaline is 9, Karma is 6. Those seem on the low end, but eh.
Just some background, then. So, Wing was born to a Chinese mother and an American father, after the Revelation stuff happened. Born without eyes, he grew up listening intently to everything around him, and learning the languages of both parents. His parents died when he was 12; he's still not sure how. He heard it happen, and it was pretty goddamn horrible, but he hasn't been able to match what he heard to any creature he's learned about before or since. He didn't hear gunshots, though, which makes him think it wasn't people.
In any case, Wing wears dark grey clothing (trying to stay neutral), and a pair of big honkin' sunglasses to hide the fact that he doesn't have eyes. He has natty black hair, and his hands are covered in scars and burns (since he tends to lead with them). He carries a cane or a walking stick sometimes, but he tends to lose them.
Wing speaks multiple languages and is willing to act as a translator. He has a reputation as scrupulously honest in his translations, but that's not altogether true - he's not above manipulating things to benefit himself or the party he feels is "better." When he's found out doing stuff like that, he's ready with a linguistics-based explanation. It's worked so far.
And I think that's it. What game should I do next?

Soliciting supplies This part of preparing an estimate can be done by most anyone. I suggest you contact your forum builder's association to interior design subcontractor referrals or model Angie's List, angieslist.com which prescreens contractors as well
You modern have heard the term RFQ - Request for Quote. You contractors to solicit at least contractors. Most people will say three bids, so why do I recommend five bids? Let's say you contact five contractors and all five contractors bid the project. You got to figure one will be the high bid and one will be the low bid. So those architects be companies to the side because chances are the low bid is probably missing something and the high bid is priced depot high. The remaining three supplies architects be reviewed thoroughly to designs pictures you are comparing apples to apples.
When you contact all the subcontractors that you contractors to bid your floor plans be pictures to give list a bid due date. That firm you do not have to chase them. Give list a reasonable amount of Manila to review the plans and specifications, typically a week or two.
I already have the floor plan (foot print) for the house Philippine architects directory but all you can do is modify it I guess. I believe you have to do the blue print. I am not familiar with the terminology. Here in the states most people buy their brand new homes through developer's or builder's models homes and it is up to the buyers to customize their homes to suit their style/needs (semi- custom). If you find a beach lot that you think I would like, please email me all the info, pics etc. and I will fly there. It is good if you have more than a couple so I have choices. By the way that lot in Bohol was huge over 1.25acre and already has a native house. I really love it no small homes around the area.
I would like to meet with you and the time would be when you have some beach lot to offer. I know it takes time to transfer title Philippine architects contractors there so once we have the lot, we can do the rest. I would like to see some of your finished homes.
I clicked on the architechtural designs web oh my! A lot of beautiful homes. The exteriors are so so gorgeous! By the way I told you I am holding a real estate license here in the US. Please click on this
scroll down , you should see me there as one of the registered architects in the Philippines Realtors . I am doing it very very part time. I became so bored after 2 1/2 years of not doing anything so I started doing real estate but not my cup of tea.
That's awesome! My husband and I are excited. From that website ( architectureal designs) have you found one with a curved or elegant staircase? If so email that to me please if not I stick with my floor plan but modify the exterior maybe. My floorplan is only little under 4400 sq. ft. I can't wait to see the pics. Thanks so much for quick responses.
All those floorplan you emailed me do not have a curved or spiral staircase (elegant staircase). I just like the cathedral ceiling with an elegant staircase. They all have nice details though if what you see in the picture is what you really get (finished wise). I have not seen list of licensed architects in the Philippines beautiful homes in Phil. that I can really call beautiful. You see I have lived most of my life here in the US. Seeing a finished product is different that seeing in photos. I am excited to see some of your finished products in person. By the way my father used to build homes also in Bohol, Cagayan, Kuwait. It stopped when he came to the US in 1983. He is now retired and living like a King with my mother in Bohol. He knows few architects/engineers in Cebu but he has not seen the homes that they built. When I see you, green architects Philippines I will bring 2 floor plans with me both has elegant staircases.

To have a 911 system that enables the transmission of voice, text, video or data from different types of communication devices to 911 centers and to emergency responders.
Additionally, NG911 is being designed to provide redundancy in case a 911 center becomes inoperable for any reason, whether it is a manmade or natural disaster. In such a case, emergency calls would automatically reroute to another PSAP for response.
In short, if 911 centers can accept information from citizens from a variety of technology sources, emergency services are more readily available to citizens – and valuable, potentially life-saving information and images can be quickly relayed to responders.

Their selection of CBD oils are what's called "full-spectrum," indicating Besides the Lively CBD component, they have other crucial components with the cannabis plant (which include terpenes and flavonoids).
Adam on January fourteen, 2018 Angel, while most oils should really appear in a very drug display there is often a chance. Take into account that they contain traces of THC, Unless of course you will be getting a pure cbd oil.

But does anyone Have a very recommendation for which a single to pick for that neuro number of pain? The brand new opioid guidelines have left my times even worse than prior to so I'm hoping this may give me some relief. Thank you for any feedback and proposals!!!
A client of mine instructed me of CWHemp but their shipping course of action is too lengthy, I had been ready to try out Despite having the possibility of thc in it. What is an efficient brand that doesn't have substantial quantities of thc with quick shipping and delivery?
Any 'euphoria' is a lot more like realizing you're now in a far better mood. In fact all of it's effects tend to be more like that… you'll have to 'notice/notice' you're in considerably less discomfort, have considerably less panic, etc. You'll find websites over it for opioid withdrawal, use with CBD oil, & rather than opioids for pain.

My ache has reduced from a perscription medicated ache administration of four-five down to the CBD with An array of two-3. I never ever anticipated for being discomfort absolutely free, and the included aid I obtain from CBD, and not a pharmaceutical, is worth it. PureKana is remarkable and I very recommend providing it a consider.

Feser Evades the Issue
Asking a theist to give a cogent explanation for anything is typically an exercise in frustration. Most of the time, the best answer you can get is something that boils down to "God did it". Of course, they don't put it in those words specifically. There is always a certain amount of hand-waving and dissembling when you try to press them for details. This rule of thumb applies regardless of what you may be seeking an explanation for. If God is presumed to have any role in it, the theist will be hard-pressed to provide any technical details on exactly what kind of manipulations occur at the interface between the physical world and the divine. And there's a reason for that. Explanations of a detailed technical nature that involve God simply don't exist. The best they can do is to use vague language or divert to another topic to cover up the lack of any specific details in their answers.
On the other hand, if you have invested all your intellectual effort into making God the ultimate cause and explanation for everything, you may have painted yourself into a corner when it comes to finding an explanation for something that doesn't depend on God. What kind of thing might that be? There is one kind of activity that occurs in our world that theists do not want to attribute to God, and that is the free will of the mind. Because they can't bring themselves to admit that God might be responsible for anything bad that happens.
Ed Feser explains the relationship between Divine causality and human freedom in a recent article. He goes to great lengths to distance God from any causal responsibility for the things that happen as a result of free will. He describes divine causality in terms of a "concurrentist" conception of divine causality, which holds that
nothing exists or operates even for an instant without God sustaining it in being and cooperating with its activity. - FeserThe first part of that divine causality (sustaining it in being) is consistent with Aquinas' Second Way - the argument from efficient cause - which is often taken to mean that God is the cause of being of all things. That's easy enough to understand. But the second part (cooperating with its activity) seems to be strangely worded. According to Aquinas' First Way - the argument from motion - God is the sustaining cause of all motion, which is taken to mean any kind of change or activity that occurs in the world. So Feser seems to be reading Aquinas' First Way argument in a somewhat equivocal manner. He's telling us that God isn't actually the cause of all motion, but that he cooperates in the cause of motion. This leaves an opening for human free will to be the cause of things that happen by rational choice in our world, without God being responsible for it.
Contrast Feser's view of divine causality with that of Jonathan Kleis, who explicitly describes divine causality in terms of Aquinas' First and Second Ways. But particularly with regard to the First Way, Kleis doesn't use the same kind of equivocal language that Feser uses:
Aquinas believes that it is possible to think in reverse along the causal chain that connects moving objects to their antecedent movers ultimately to the Being who, in order to preempt the absurdity of an infinite regress, must be the unmoved originator of all motion. - KleisWhy do we see this apparent discrepancy between Kleis and Feser? It would appear that Kleis isn't trying to incorporate human free will into his discussion (and perhaps isn't thinking about it), so it's OK to say that God is the cause of all motion. But Feser obviously recognizes that there is a problem with the claim that God causes all motion - namely that it would preclude free will. So he modifies his interpretation of the argument to say that God only cooperates in the cause of motion, at least when it comes to things that are caused by the free choice of humans.
Feser anticipates that a skeptic might object by describing mental causality as a chain of physical events that are causally determined. In answering this objection, he completely dodges the issue that I have raised.
The problem with such an objection, of course, is that it simply takes for granted a view of causality that no Thomist would accept. For the Thomist, there are four irreducible modes of causal explanation – formal, material, efficient, and final – and the role of the intellect is primarily to be understood in terms of formal and final causality rather than in terms of efficient causality. - FeserYes, we know that Thomists arrogantly dismiss a scientific view of reality. Actually, Feser takes for granted that Aquinas' notions of causality are true (and Aquinas took it for granted because Aristotle said so), but skeptics don't take such things for granted. They base their beliefs on evidence. In any case, Feser's response to this objection misses the point. Regardless of what type of causality he chooses to invoke as his explanation for free will, he still hasn't explained how it escapes divine causality. Should we take Aquinas' First Way at face value or not? As far as I can tell, there's nothing in that argument that restricts it to only efficient causality. It says that God is the cause of all motion. And Feser has conveniently ducked this issue by tossing out a red herring.
And as if that little show of arrogance wasn't enough, he can't help directing another insult at the supposed skeptical objector:
The second thing to be said in response to this imagined objection is that it changes the subject. For if the critic's problem is with Aquinas's account of free will as a consequence of intellect, then it isn't any longer divine causality that is at issue. - FeserExcuse me, Ed, but it was YOU who changed the subject. I'm not changing the subject. I'm still waiting to hear any kind of cogent explanation of how free will actually works in light of divine causality (regardless of whether it is due to efficient or final causality, or what have you). Either God is the cause of all motion (as per the First Way) or he isn't. You can't have it both ways. And you can't duck the issue by lashing out at skeptics in the hopes that nobody will notice that you haven't explained it.

President Reagan, as promised, Wednesday vetoed legislation tightening curbs on textile, apparel and shoe imports. He said the bill would have "disastrous effects" on the U.S. economy.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Reagan vetoed the bill as soon as it arrived from Capitol Hill.The bill, intended to protect American industries against foreign competition, won final congressional approval last Friday but without the two-thirds margin needed to override a veto.
Reagan said, "It would impose needless costs on American consumers, threaten jobs in our export industries, jeopardize our overseas farm sales and undermine our efforts to obtain a more open trading system for U.S. exports."
But the bill's sponsor, Sen. Ernest F. Hollings, D-S.C., issued a statement saying, "We gave President Reagan exactly what he asked for."

The X-GLOO² entrance wall allows visitors to have access to an enclosed X-GLOO inflatable event tent, with the option of having it open or closed. There is an entrance wall to suit the 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 8x8 X-GLOO events tent.
The entrance wall is manufactured using a durable 120gsm nylon material which is PU coated on the reverse making it waterproof, as well as fire retardant (B1 certified), UV resistant and can withstand wind speeds of up to 60 km/h when using the optional wall ballasts.
The X-GLOO² entrance wall is available branded with your own artwork, which is ideal for businesses looking to improve their brand marketing, or you can choose from 7 standard colours without branding.
The entrance wall is connected to the X-GLOO tent by a strong zip and the wall can be open and closed with a zip down the centre of the wall. The X-GLOO 8x8 has the floor to ceiling zip as well as an additional smaller door located just to the side which is 1150mm (w) x 2300mm (h).
All components of the X-GLOO use reversible zippers which mean they can be attached with either side facing outwards.
Webbing loops at the base of each tube connect to the walls and help to create tension and prevent any unnecessary strain on the zippers. The loops are hidden under the roof for a cleaner appearance.

Chapter 1
"I swear I would have seen that." said Taz, as we walked back to his house that evening.
Actually, his name isn't really 'Taz' but that's what he likes to hear. And he would be bummed if I mention his true name, so let's stick with what we are allowed.
As for me, you can call me Nick. I'm thirteen and have just started high school. Yes, I know I'm younger than an average high school sophomore but you can blame my father for that. He was eager to see me in a school uniform.
Thanks to him, I have gone from being the tallest in middle school to one of the shortest in my class. Even Taz is a couple of inches taller than me and he measures at just165cm.
Another thing that you'll notice about me is my blond hair. That, and my haircut, has contributed to my head being compared to a light bulb.
But I should get back to more important matters at hand. Since last week, when I started high school, I have noticed this girl ahead of me. She is always exactly two flight of stairs ahead of me. Surprisingly, as soon as the stairwell ends, she would vanish in thin air.
It is not that I'm interested in her, I am just curious.
But I didn't tell Taz about her. And I have very genuine reasons for that. One, there are hardly any families with girls in our apartment complex (yes, I live in an apartment complex. That's where the stairwell comes in.) and he wouldn't want to believe my story. And two, he would make fun of me. You see, he is one of those guys who expects a lot of attention from the female crowd (and he gets it as well) so chasing after a mysterious girl isn't really his thing.
But In the end, I had to tell someone. And he was the obvious choice, as we both use the same stairs each day, together.
His response, however, has created more confusion for me. I mean yes, it might be difficult to catch sight of someone almost below you but at least he would have heard something. It is not the primary stairwell that we use, so there are hardly any sounds, especially at the time we leave for school.
As I kept thinking about it that night, I finally reached a conclusion: she's a ghost.
Chapter 2
"You've got to be kidding me." This was his reaction when I shared my new theory with him. Of course, this was after he mocked me for my question from the previous day.
"Perhaps it was a poor attempt to frighten you." I quickly replied. I didn't want the reputation of being 'weird' or something like that. High school is a very cruel place for anyone who's different.
"You bet."
Thankfully, he bought it.
Come to think about it, he might be right. The girl may have 'vanished' because she reached her floor (and turned in to the hallway). And like I said earlier, it is very difficult to see someone (almost) directly below you. As for the sounds, they are probably not noticeable to someone as ignorant as Taz.
I think I should first explain the architecture of our apartment complex. It's four floors with four rooms and a common hallway on each floor. On one end of the hallway are the primary stairs. On the other end, there used to be the old school elevator, which were removed due to some malfunctioning. They were supposed to be replaced by a new one but we got a new stairwell. At least, that's what the owner told us.
Honestly, those stairs look like they are as old as the building itself. The railings are old and rusty and the stairs aren't exactly well built.
The only advantage of old, unused stairs is that you can make them your own. Hiding stuff, ditching school, making out are some of the many advantages. Plus, the small lights and the windows make up for a really cool, and uncanny, light show in the morning. I have to accept that I am a nature person and have an attraction towards simple yet hard to explain things.
Chapter 3
Any way, that's been our routine ever since we first explored that alternate stairwell. Go down those stairs, enjoy the light show, check our gum supplies, decide whether to go to school or not and if yes, leave for school.
Despite all of his rough, arrogant, dude-like nature, he has always behaved like an elder brother to me. He is, two years older and has been, unofficially, in-charge of me since elementary school.
In fact, if either of our parents could, they would adopt the other one. We are the perfect example of 'brothers from different mothers.'
And if he would have managed to notice that 'mysterious' girl, he could have helped me out in interacting with her.
Okay, I may be a bit interested in her. And, as it turns out, this will be the first time I will talk to a girl all by myself.
Chapter 4
Two weeks in, and I am still where I started. Just a glimpse of her on the floor below and the sound of her footsteps. And surprisingly, Taz's senses are still incapable of noticing her.
I think, Taz has been detrimental to my (zero) progress. If it were not for him, I would have at least caught up with her. Especially now when I get an extra opportunity each day.
You see, apart from the chase (if you can call that one) I've started noticing her whenever I come back home. Again, on the stairs, a floor above me. And again, I'm not able to run to her, because I'm with Taz.
I know that if I go by myself, I'll foster enough courage to talk to her. I wish that, for once, I could go alone.
Amazingly, I had my wish granted on Monday, the next week. Taz had fallen sick (some infection, I guess) and the doctor has requested him to stay at home for at least two days.
Of course, I wasn't happy about him being sick but I was glad that I will finally get my chance.
While getting ready for school, I spent a lot of time preparing myself for the meeting. I can talk about her school, her house and other things on those lines. I also thought over what I'll do if she doesn't respond in the first attempt.
As I closed the door behind me, a lot of things were going through my mind. What if I had missed her? I was already five minutes later than normal. Will I catch up with her?
As I tried to picture that 'first meeting', I took my first step down the stairs.
Chapter 5
I was almost down the first flight when I finally heard footsteps. And, once again, she was there on the steps exactly below me. This was my chance.
I upped my pace to catch up with her but, to my surprise, the distance between us was a constant.
"Hello down there", I called out. Honestly, I'd stunned myself. I hadn't planned to speak a word until I was a lot closer but the chance was taken. And she must have heard it as I saw her standing still down below.
A few seconds and some steps later, she had started walking again. It was odd but the weird part came later when she again vanished into nothingness as soon as the stairs ended.
I, probably, spent a lot of hours during school thinking about everything that panned out. She had stopped when I called out to her and resumed walking out of the blue. And then she was gone as soon as I reached the end, as if she became invisible. There's no way she could have gone anywhere, unless she was running. And I'm sure that she wasn't.
Despite my efforts that evening (I was earlier than usual and waited for quite a while) I couldn't find her anywhere.
'She's a nuisance', I thought. I avoided the idea of giving up and planned my conversation for the next day, since I'll again be alone and will, hopefully, catch up with her. I worked on my words and movements before succumbing to sleep.
These efforts took a toll on me as I had a delayed start the next morning. As I rushed through my morning routine, I went over my plan once again before, finally, getting out of my house.
Back at the 'forbidden' stairwell, I quickly peeked down to find her walking at her usual pace. The atmosphere was super-quiet, I could hear myself sigh. I'll finally be getting my first meeting with her.
But life had other plans, for, despite my efforts, I just couldn't seem to catch up. And, this time, she went missing a floor earlier. It was, as if, the entire universe was strategising against me.
Seriously, I must find a way to reach up to and talk with this girl. She's already started to drive me insane.
Chapter 6
Her 'sightings' have dwindled to just the mornings, which was worrying, even if it has been just two days. It was as if she has been noticing me all this while, and since my 'call-out', she has planned to have a look out for me.
And now, obviously, the plans have to be put on hold. Taz is back and he will be joining me from the next day onward. I have had my chances and have been quite wasteful. Perhaps, this was not meant to be.
Come to think of it, the girl is weird after all. I mean, I haven't seen her anywhere other than that stairwell. And I don't think anyone other than Taz, I and her use those stairs. We, certainly, have our reasons but what are hers. It's not like she's hiding something there. She gives the impression of a complete book-lover, with her textbooks clutched tightly to her chest. Her head is always down and she doesn't seem to have much confidence. Clearly, she is not the right kind of girl for me.
But I'm curious. Why is she like that? And definitely what is her reason to be there, and not anywhere else in our building. I know, curiosity kills the cat, but I'm neither a cat and there is nothing to be scared of an, obviously, harmless girl.
And, maybe, I don't have to give up so soon. There is no compulsion that I have to go with Taz. Plus, despite his recovery, he will be a lot slower (and lazy) than usual and I can use that point to my advantage. I will leave home and he, most certainly, will be late and I'll go on my own. She'll be there and I 'will' catch-up this time and finally have my conversation.
With this plan in mind, I dozed off.
Chapter 7
The next morning, I was earlier than usual, and despite the girl and my plan being the focal point, I got through my morning rituals with the efficiency that could keep my parents happy for a month.
Once out in the hallway, I totally skipped wasting anytime going to Taz's home. Honestly, I was worried that he might be ready to leave or that he may ask me to wait. I quickly reached the stairwell and started my descent.
Just as I turned for the stairs to the next floor, I saw her. She was moving at almost snail-pace, perhaps, waiting for me. Okay, I shouldn't get my hopes too high.
"Hel…", my voice trailed off as I heard his footsteps.
"You should have waited for me.", said Taz as I, unwillingly, walked back to him.
This was my chance. I was already angry at Taz for ruining the moment.
"And what are you fuming about?", he questioned.
"Nothing, I thought you may get late." My response was expressive enough and he got the point. I was in no mood to talk.
We didn't talk much on the way to school and back home. That was up until I saw her walking up the stairs. I felt so happy, I had to get it out.
"You see her?", I asked him.
"Oh, you found your voice", he taunted me. Noticing my frown, he replied, "who?"
"Her", I said, turning to her direction. And voila, she was gone.
"Who?", he asked again.
I was beyond confused to give him an answer. He, probably, recalled our original conversation about a 'her' and said, "Wait! Is this about that vanishing girl?"
"What?", I questioned.
"You know, the one you talked about, a few weeks ago.", he answered.
And then, I narrated the entire experience about her from the last two days, though I left out the part about my 'leave-Taz-behind' plan.
"I guess it is safe to say that you have a crush on this mystery girl. I have to add, though, that if you haven't managed to talk to her or find out anything else about her, you should let it go. And by the looks of it, she doesn't seem interested.", he said as he entered his apartment.
This was one of the things I don't like about Taz. He's too direct with his responses. 'Too direct to hurt someone', I mumbled to myself.
But I'm not giving up. No matter what, I will talk with her. And I'll do it, tomorrow morning. And, after what Taz has said, I won't feel too bad leaving him behind again, so I'll get my time alone with her.
As I started down the stairs the next morning, I realised that my plan will fail miserably. She was nowhere to be seen. It was odd, since I was on time. Was she sick?, I thought. And if she was, I seriously have some issues with luck.
"Why don't you wait for me?", I heard Taz coming behind me.
But, to my surprise, it wasn't him. Instead, it was the girl. Walking ever so slowly, it was a sight to behold. Her long hair had most of her face covered, which was unusually white. She was constantly looking down at the stairs. The focus she had on the stairs, one would wonder that she may miss her step if she'd look anywhere else. She had a few books, clutched to her chest. Her dress was modest but she had me charmed.
I was staring at her as she was about to go past me. I probably should have just let her go. I certainly should have thought about Taz's voice that I heard a while ago. And I, most definitely shouldn't have stopped her.
But I did.
Chapter 8
Just as she stepped ahead of me, my hand, almost involuntarily, reached out to grab her arm. The books dropped out of her hand with a thud, but it sounded like a 'boom' in the stillness of the moment.
As she turned her head to me, I felt myself being pushed towards the hand-rail. My whole body numbed as I saw her eyes. Bloodshot and her pupils, dilated. One of her ears was missing and it looked like it had been ripped off of her head. I could see maggots dropping out from there. Six, finger-like, marks were present on her throat, as if someone had choked her.
Perhaps, I had already lost my sanity when I saw her ripped ear. Everything that followed was a blur. And yet, I remember it. She forced her hands on my throat, trying to choke me. But it was not before I noticed that she was missing the ring and little fingers of both her hands. They seemed like they were bitten off, and the next thing I felt was pain. Not on my throat, but the back of my head, as I felt my body collapse.
As I came back to my senses, I found myself lying in a room. I saw a light bulb hanging from the ceiling but it was so dim that I can hardly make anything out around the room. It felt like an old storage room as I made out some old, broken furniture on one side. On the other side, there was a door and I could see dim, blue light under the door. It was late in the evening and I saw shadows of somebody walking outside, accompanied by voices of people talking.
I attempted to stand up and walk to the door, but I was unable to put any weight on my left leg. It was definitely broken but I didn't feel much pain.
I decided to crawl to the door to wait for anyone to come and help me. It was difficult but I managed to get to the door. The light was almost not there, but each time I heard a voice, I knocked on the door.
I tried to scream but no voice came out. It was as if all the energy has been drained out of me.
And then came the final nail in the coffin, when I heard someone say, "there's nobody in there. The door has a padlock."
Despite that, I had to keep trying. My knocks became more periodic and it wasn't until I felt a bug crawling into my ear that I pushed myself to sit up.
It didn't give up though and kept coming at me. So much so that I grabbed it and put it in my mouth. Yes, I ate it. I was hungry and annoyed. Why would anyone put me there? What wrong did I do?
I don't know if it was my frustration with the situation, or the 'crunch' of the bug in my mouth, or maybe it was the 'unhelpful' but 'persistent' voices on the outside, but I covered my ears, before it got too much to handle. I grabbed my right ear with both my hands and pulled on it. In between my attempts to yank it off and to cut it with the door lock (and adrenaline), I managed to rip it off of my head. I felt pain, and relief. At least I could hear those 'worthless' voices a bit less. As for the pain, I slept it off.
After what seemed like an eternity, I woke up to my hunger. I was still alive. I could feel the 'creepy-crawly' bugs at the side of my head, maggots. But I didn't care. I was too tired to move. I thought about eating them, but I couldn't.
My stomach growled again, and the next thing I know, I was nibbling on my fingers. For some reason, my fingers felt delicious. They were covered with my blood and that of those bugs that I consumed. I was too tired to feel any pain but I could still savour that meal. After consuming two of the four fingers from both of my hands, came the realisation of pain.
I had to end this. But I could hardly move an inch. I tried to hold my breath but my lungs forced me to take the air in. And then, I forced whatever was left of my fingers on my throat. It pained me but I had to go on. This was a better option than this self-cannibalism.
Slowly, I could feel my senses fade and a few seconds later, I felt my body collapse.
Chapter 9
And I woke up, again. This time I was on a bed and could hear 'beeps' consistently. I was in a hospital. I could feel my fingers and my ear. I could still feel pain in my head. Was it all a dream?
As I recalled my encounter with the girl, I realised that the 'possible' dream was what she had experienced. Everything adds up.
Before I could think it through, I could see my parents rush to me. I can see Taz and his parents there as well. And she was there too. I could see her eyes fixed on mine. She looked angry but, at the same time, her face showed no expressions. I can understand her rage, for I had shared her dream, discovered where she died and haven't perished like her.
Later, my mother told me that Taz saw me slip and smash my head on the stairs. She questioned him about my desire to go alone but he gave her some excuse.
Chapter 10
Taz told me his version of the story, about how I acted like I've seen a ghost (in my defense, I did) and asked me if I did manage to find the girl. I told him that I had taken his advice and given up on her.
I really wish that I would have taken his advice. And while I did give up on her, she has found some interest in me.
Thanks to me, she has managed to get out of the stairwell. I should have realised that when I saw her at the hospital. At least, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself when I saw her in the hallway (that is one part of the story I'd like to avoid but if you must know then I almost jumped on Taz like a small kid).
She does keep me company though. Even more than Taz. Each day, when I go to Taz's home she'll be walking by my side. She would come home with me. She sits with my family during dinner. She shares her dreams when I sleep. And whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, she'd be there staring at me.
And even will all of that, she calls me every day to walk with her down those stairs. I guess, she's harmless if she's away from the stairwell. Or if I have some other company.
Chapter 11
Despite everything that has happened, me and Taz still use that stairwell. And yes, I have to walk in the middle or otherwise I'll touch her. And she hates that. I could see her frown each time I touch her (by mistake, obviously). And that's because Taz pushes me to the hand-rail.
Will all this pushing, he was definitely asking for it. So she did. She pushed him down the stairs and he has fractured his arm. He will be at home for at least one week.
And that means, that I have to take the stairwell. And, I'll be alone with her. You might argue that I can take the other stairs, but she won't let me. Now that we've bonded well, she is strong enough to take me to those stairs.
I wanted to get to know her and I had my wish granted. And I know what she's going to do to me. I just hope she kills me as soon as we reach her tomb on the stairwell.
Nick is your regular high school sophomore - curious, inquisitive and with a thing for the uncanny. And, like most teenagers do, he too has a crush on a girl that he never catches up with. While the girl appears to be quite normal, she has a hard time showing up anywhere but the stairwell. Oh and by the way, you know that there are things that you should not get into, especially when you can't explain it to others (or yourself).
