Today, Rockstone initiates coverage on Redfund Capital Corp., a Vancouver-based merchant bank focused on medical cannabis, hemp and CBD. The company began trading on the CSE under the symbol "LOAN" on August 14, 2018.
Designed by bankers and entrepreneurs, Redfund provides alternative debt financing facilities to help growing companies build their valuation without giving away equity prematurely in their growth cycle. This business model benefits not only the shareholders of the financed company but also Redfund's shareholders providing them an exposure to fast-growing companies and markets otherwise unavailable.
Today, Redfund provided an update on its first international financing with Biominerales Pharma Corp. ("BMP"), a first mover and trailblazer of medical cannabis in Columbia. Redfund and BMP signed a 2 year convertible secured promissory note in August for up to $3 million USD at an annual interest rate of 14%. Thus, Redfund's shareholders may benefit from interest payments of up to $840,000 USD, whereas the debt may be converted into equity at Redfund's discretion at any time during the term. Redfund has also a right of first refusal to provide financing to BMP upon the same business terms as are being offered to BMP by any other funders.
On top, BMP afforded Redfund stock warrants in its common stock equivalent to 20% of the amount of the Note based upon their current valuation as of the effective date which is stipulated to be $10 million USD, thus providing Redfund shareholders with a potentially significant stake in BMP.

Columbia has optimal conditions for growing hemp and cannabis. Overall costs are estimated to be 65-90% below the costs of Canadian licenced producers. Thanks to liberal prescribing regulations and up to 700,000 medical cannabis patients, Columbia represents a sizeable market opportunity with a potential market worth $750 million USD.
The Canadian investment bank Canaccord, which is also actively financing cannabis projects in Columbia, recently noted that the market in Latin America is "on the cusp of exponential growth", following a recent wave of medical cannabis legalizations.
The timing for Redfund to engage with one of Columbia's leading medical cannabis companies appears perfect in order to capitalize on the vast growth potential of this sector with an early-mover advantage.
Moreover, BMP already has the trifecta licenses in Colombia allowing them to grow, process and export CBD oil beyond South America to the global marketplace. As the production of CBD is a costly endeavour in North America, BMP's extensive in-country farming operations plus a state-of-the-art GMP processing facility in Bogota (coming online in 2019) make BMP the perfect supplier, partner and distributor for Canadian LPS and global partnerships. BMP's headquarters and lab facility are located in Bogata and it has a wide range of operations countrywide.
In Corinto, the base cannabis farm features both greenhouse and outside growing operations totalling almost 2 million sq. ft. of outdoor and 15,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse, producing high volumes of organic medicinal cannabis.
In Tulua, BMP has another farm for growing industrial hemp for CBD. The first phase in Tulua is projected to yield 1.2-1.4 million pounds of biomass per year.
In Mondomo, BMP is completing a lab where the chief agronomist will execute a process of DNA testing and growing in-vitro to create a super strain of seeds and plants with the highest quality plants free of disease.
BMP is planning to open a series of mobile labs in addition to medical clinics to act as treatment and dispensary distribution centers. This will be executed as an extension of BMPs medical partner Carlos Rios' private Clinica Santuario, who is also a member of the BMP Advisory Board.
BMP's CEO, Adriana Rios Garcia, commented today:
"Last week we were granted our Medicinal Cannabis licensure for the national Colombian market. This is a great accomplishment and it will allow us to expand via well known strategic partnerships in cannabis medicine benefiting the Colombian population."
In August, she said:
"As we continue to build one of the only Colombian vertically integrated supply chain and processing services in the Medicinal Cannabis and CBD industry, we are very excited to partner with Redfund. Their long-term support in helping us execute our overall strategy will excellerate our mission to develop best in class products and services and deliver on our social strategy to create jobs and assist local Colombian farmers. Having the financial backing of Redfund will bring further validation to our global model."
Redfund's CEO, Meris Kott, commented today:
"Biomerales Pharma has become the #1 trailblazer in Colombia medical cannabis. With only a few weeks remaining before their expected approval to start government certification for 25 different cannabis medicinal genetics, they have possibly outperformed every cannabis company in Colombia with their low cost budget, experienced and well known Colombian management team and comprehensive medical platform. Redfund will continue to support BMP and looks forward to helping them become the #1 medical cannabis company in South America."
In August, she said:
"We have been working with Adriana and her team for many months and today marks a major success for both our companies. Felicidades! Biominerales is a leader today in Colombia and will be one of the first to harvest a crop and place Colombia on the global Medicinal Cannabis and CBD stage. I am very proud to be partnering with one of the few women in cannabis in Colombia. Redfund will continue to finance BMP and help the company realize their complete business plan."
BMP is one of the first Colombian companies authorized to legally market medical cannabis in Colombia, throughout South America and worldwide. BMP was established in 2014 by a group of Canadian and Colombian entrepreneurs. The company began as the only biodiesel refinery in Colombia using cooking and vegetable oils, with the capacity to produce biodiesel meeting international ISCC standards. The BMP team recognized the opportunity in early 2015 when medicinal cannabis was decriminalized and expanded on their existing operations. In 2017, BMP was one of the first companies granted "global" extraction and exportation licenses for medicinal cannabis oils.

On August 28, Redfund announced to have completed a first investment in Biolog Inc., a California based cannabis infusion technology company.
The companies signed a 2 year term convertible secured promissory note of $800,000 USD at an annual interest rate of 14%, of which the first tranche of $200,000 has already been tendered to Biolog. The Note may be converted at Redfund's discretion at any time during the term and the company has a right of first refusal to provide financing to Biolog upon the same business terms as are being offered to Biolog by any other funders.
Biolog afforded Redfund stock warrants of its common stock equivalent to 20% of the amount of the Note based upon their current valuation as of the effective date which is stipulated to be $10 million USD. Additional rounds of funding from Redfund will further enhance Biolog's product portfolio, product line expansion and distribution.
Biolog is in the fast growing market for cannabidiol (CBD) edibles and beverages. The funds will be utilized to launch a series of patented products that will allow both ordinary consumers and culinary professionals to easily and accurately infuse virtually any food or beverage with cannabinoids.
The Biolog products are powered by Lexaria Bioscience Corp.'s (CSE:LXX) DehydraTECHTM technology, under an exclusive license agreement announced earlier this year by Lexaria. The products are unique to the industry in that precise dosing can easily be accomplished to produce edibles and beverages that offer improvements in bioavailability of up to 500%, while also reducing onset times for psychoactive effects to as fast as 15 to 20 minutes. Additionally, due to a taste masking technique, foods and beverages infused with Biolog products taste like the food or beverage, not cannabis.
Biolog's CEO, Bruce Bauer, commented:
"Our analysis in selecting a financing partner extended well beyond simple access to capital. We rated industry expertise and the ability to assist us in developing strategic partnerships as our two main criteria. Redfund Capital was the clear choice for Biolog for these reasons. All of us at Biolog are very pleased to have Redfund as our partner in growth."
Redfund's CEO, Meris Kott, commented:
"We are investing based on the exceptionally strong intellectual property portfolio owned by the company. As the medical cannabis and CBD business sectors mature, we believe differentiating factors and barriers to entry, such as the trade secrets and patents will become ever more important. Biolog brings to the market an already exceptional IP position, which we believe will be further strengthened over the coming year."
Last week, on September 20, Redfund announced to have partnered with the US-based cannabis fertilizer leader Plant Life Company and that Redfund is now its Canadian resident agent.
Plant Life is dedicated to offering professional cannabis growers a superior line of fertilizers formulated to create a strong holistic growing environment, with a philosophical and authentic mindset towards plant health, a truly preventative approach, verses curative, resulting in better yields and better value.
It manufactures both liquid and dry water-soluble fertilizers designed to enhance each phase of a plant's growth cycle, maximize growers' yields and increase potency. The products are produced and fully loaded with superior macro, secondary and micronutrient ingredients to ensure optimum nutrient availability and reduced waste.
Plant Life recognizes the artistry that growers bring to the table. The quality supplements were designed to give them the tools to boost their yields from root augmentation through final stages of the flower. These proven supplemental products work in tandem with the baseline fertilizers to boost the plant's potential throughout its life. Plant Life provides cultivators an unparalleled level of nutrient expertise with over 160 years of combined experience in the fertilizer industry.
The Doggett family name has been synonymous as the leader in fertilizers since the 1920s and partnering with David Ellerstein who has developed an impressive 30 year track record of taking innovative niche business concepts and transforming them into viable, muli-million dollar revenue generating realities is a win-win for Plant Life. The collaborative resources and breadth of practical knowledge has allowed Plant Life to develop an unparalleled line of nutrients targeted to the burgeoning greenhouse market and other B2B enterprises. It is undeniably creating a new benchmark for which all to be measured.
Redfund's CEO, Meris Kott, commented:
"Plant Life has an impressive customer base of cannabis growers in California and their clientele is increasing daily. We have noticed mainstream companies like Miracle Gro entering the marketplace in Canada with strategic partnerships. Healthy plants are imperative for every profitable crop cycle, but it is the first to market players who will lead the way in this sector. Revenue producing Plant Life will continue to be a leader in cannabis fertilizers. We are excited to assist David footprint Plant Life into the Canadian market and build his global brand."

Twheat allows you to search for an area and generate a heat map from a Twitter search in real-time. Heat maps and Twitter activity go together like wine (vin!) & Paris:
The UI is simple: an input for location, an input for the Twitter search term, two buttons, and a map. Version 1.1 of the Twitter search API only supplies opt-in geolocated tweets so the heat maps are not as full as they used to be but Twheat is still a fun app to gauge to what extent a topic is being discussed around the globe.
If we have a location & search term, we can search Twitter for tweets within 2500km (Twitter's limit) of the location's center. We use the map's pixelSize (meters per pixel) when zoomed in enough for it to be smaller than 2500km. If we get results, we append them to the map.
If we don't already have the new tweet's id in our list, we create a GeoJSON Feature object to store the point and text of the tweet. If the newer coordinates property exists in the tweet object, it is a proper GeoJSON Point and we can append it exactly where it is. However, if we get a place property, we append the point at the center of the place's bounding box. Using a simple timeout while appending tweets, we ensure that the map doesn't unnecessarily refresh during the search. We only want to redraw the heatmap once all the tweets from the last search have been appended.
Twheat uses the impressive WebGL Heatmap plugin from Florian Boesch (http://codeflow.org/entries/2013/feb/04/high-performance-js-heatmaps/). If WebGL is not available, Twheat fakes it poorly by just rendering points with it's own graphics layer. The heatmap is a single, shingled service. Each time the service needs to refresh, we need to draw a new WebGL heatmap since the pixel locations of tweets can change as the user pans & zooms. We draw the heatmap to a hidden canvas and then send it to the map's service via data URI. This is all done inside the service's src function.
When moving a cursor around, we search the layer containing tweet points and popup some HTML showing the user & message of any tweets within 16 pixels of the cursor. This is an easy task since the tweet content is embedded in the GeoJSON Features appended to the map. jQuery Geo's find method returns the original objects appended.
Lastly, we're using Ben Alman's jQuery BBQ to update the shareable URL each time the user interacts with the map or the location & search boxes.
The source code to Twheat is available on GitHub! https://github.com/jQueryGeo/twheat

Anabolic Running is a book that has introduced a lot of people to many ideas that they can use to stay fit. This is actually great, because if you are looking forward to stay fit, then the book has a lot of knowledge that can help you. In addition to that, it also introduces you to a high intensity workout routine that works for a lot of people, and when I say high intensity, I do mean to say that it is on the difficult side.
You can get more information about the book here https://buffedd.com/reviews/anabolic-running/. As for this article, we are just going to look at some of the reasons why anabolic running is a good idea. So, keeping that in mind, let us not waste time and have a look, shall we?
You Are Looking to Get in Shape
One of the biggest reasons for anyone to start anabolic running is that they are looking to get in shape. I will be honest, there is nothing wrong with it either because anabolic running happens to be a lot more beneficial than some people might know in the first place. Sure, it is not as easy, but it definitely benefits you in the longer and the shorter run as well.
You Want a Proper Workout Plan
I personally think that anabolic running workout plan is the proper one. As in it touches almost all the subjects, and helps people finally understand what they are doing, and how they are going to achieve it. Sure, it might be difficult for some people, but the good news is that you will not have any difficulties achieving the proper body type once you get a hang of it. The plan can be overwhelming at start, but after a while, it gets better.

If you are an online solopreneur who faces any of the following challenges with business, you're probably in just the right place at SoloSpark.
1) Marketing Phobia
Do you despise the idea of networking events and/or public speaking engagements?
Do elevator pitches make you feel phony? Hate terms like 'networking' and 'working the room'? Here we simply refer to networking as collaborating with like minds.
2) Tribe Seeker Syndrome
Do you struggle to find this elusive tribe of a supportive network of online followers? Struggling to build an effective list? Consider business support tribes first, mastermind groups for training and support. Working as a solopreneur might SOUND like working alone, but that's a myth.
3) Website Worries
Are you not feeling proud about your website copy? Feel like the words don't quite match your vibe? Has your 'Coming Soon' page set up permanent residence? Will you struggle to create a website yourself or will you find a designer to do it for you? You might consider a combination of the two, since few solos who are bootstrappers can afford hiring out every task.
4) Big Kahuna Disorder
Do you feel like a small fish swimming in a ginormous interwebs pond?
After all, your field is already bursting with well-known legit pros.
Do you often feel intimidated often by fears that stomp your aspirations?
5) Procrastinitus and Perfectionism
Have you convinced yourself that random web surfing and maybe drinking excess coffee will somehow spark productivity? Do you rationalize that these things take awhile, assuming that one day you will finally create the perfect copy, the perfect offers, the perfect USP, the perfect tribe?
6) Overwhelmed with Internet Overload and ADD?
This is a BIG one! Ever feel you are near drowning in a murky sea of managing social media constant? Have an endless list of skills to master and tech gobbledygook to figure out? Do you struggle to stay focused on daily tasks and the process of your actions?
7) Creativity Chaos
Do you find yourself inside constant creative brainstorms yet slow to take real action?
Got bright ideas coming out the wazoo? And yet your confidence and focus hijacks their birth?
8) Online Agoraphobia
Ever get so busy with your business that you forget what's going on in the rest of the world?
That's what is meant by online agoraphobia – the fear of open (web) spaces.
It won't matter much WHAT you've created if you do not connect online with people who need it.
9) Social Media Obsession
The obsession with being everywhere on social media can be considered the exact opposite of online agoraphobia (#8 above).
If you are always on social media sites, then when and how are you building your business? Social media sharing may help to get your business better known, but sharing randomly for hours is just wasting time. Strive to balance and manage social media sharing strategy with focused business building.
"Focus on productivity rather than just being busy." ~ Tim Ferris
10) The Shiny Object Syndrome and Internet Addiction
Closely related to information overload, this syndrome tempts you to veer off toward 'shiny objects' ==> meaning hot new products and/or business opportunities that are heavily marketed online. Many are scams and all distract from your business goals.
Can you relate to these common challenges for online startup businesses? Stay tuned to SoloSpark and take a look at these productivity boosters.
Which of the above is the biggest challenge for you? Let me know in the comments and future blog posts will address that issue further.

By now you may be completely sick of our pumpkin, apple and butternut squash obsession. So to break things up I figured I post something that has no association with fall flavors what so ever. That way when our next post is a pumpkin dessert or hearty fall dinner you won't judge us. John and I eat chicken I'd say 4 nights a week so things obviously can get repetitive. I'm always looking for a new recipe that will transform our regular everyday chicken breast into something creative and flavorful. This dish is perfect to add to your regular dinner rotation. Give it a try tonight!
Adapted from http://www.fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/
1 Package of Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts (4-5)
15oz Ricotta Cheese Part Skim
1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese - Grated
1/2 Pint Grape Tomatoes (Split in Half)
2 Cloves of Garlic - Minced
1 Cup Baby Spinach - Chopped / Stems trimmed
10 Fresh Basil Leaves - Chopped
2 Cups Panko Bread Crumbs
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
2 Eggs for wash
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
You can begin by prepping your veggies. Chop your spinach and basil, slice your tomatoes and mince your garlic. Then preheat the oven to 400 F. In a large bowl combine the ricotta, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
Add the spinach and basil. Mix gently to combine. S & P both sides of each chicken breast. On a cutting board carefully make a slit in the largest section of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through or all of the stuffing will come out the bottom when they are cooking. Fill each breast with as much of the mixture as you can.
Put your breadcrumbs in a shallow dish, if they are plain be sure to add the Italian seasoning and give it a good stir. Put the eggs in a bowl and scrambled them. Carefully dip each breast in the egg than the panko making sure to cover the sides and the top, shaking off any excess. Heat up the olive oil in a large oven safe pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown the bottoms for about 5 minutes. In the past I would've tried to flip each breast but it always is disastrous so don't bother because everything will get crispy and brown in the oven while they bake.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes uncovered. When they are done please learn from my lesson and be extra careful. I burned my hand very badly and it actually left a scar on my palm for weeks. I guess I wasn't thinking after I took the pan out of the oven I grabbed it with my bear hand since it wouldn't normally been that hot I wasn't thinking. Good thing the chicken came out delicious because it distracted me from my burn.
Enjoy!! - Nicole

The Haul... Matalan Clearance Store...
Monday, 22 April 2013
Maxi Skirt - £1 // Trousers - £5 // Shirt (Mens) - £3 // Red Shoes - £5 // Nude Shoes - £2 // Cups - 50p each
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the most amazing shop I think I have ever been to. I am here to yell at you get on google and find your nearest Matalan Clearance store, mine is Newport. The store inside is really well laid out and to be honest just looks like a normal Matalan. There is no jumble sale feeling to the store. Some of the clothes are just on rails but everything is hung up, everything is in size order and EVERYTHING is fine - as in it's not faulty!
To be honest I could have spent a lot more than just £19 (I also bought a tea holder for my peppermint tea for £1) because there were numerous dresses and printed trousers that caught my eye but I just don't need them and I am hoping that I can drop some sizes. I will 100% be going back, especially for holiday and most of the bikinis were just 50p!!
The store is literally insane but there were SO many nice things there. It's made me re-evaluate how much people spent on clothes and what the huge mark ups are. I think i'll always try shopping there before I go anywhere else now! I've also found a new love for clearance shops on a whole such as Next and GAP.
I found out about this shop thanks to my awesome work friend Aimi, who has also started a blog whooop! It's here (link) and i'd love it if you went along for a nosey. It's a mummy blog, her kids are just hilarious and the cakes Aimi makes are awesomes too!
Have you shopped in a store like this?
What's been your biggest bargain to date?

Just wanted to say Thank You for all the messages last night. For those who don't know my hamster Marli died and it was horrible, but everyones messages really did take the edge off. Thank you.

To Set the World at Nought
St. Thomas More was martyred this day, July 6, 1535.
A godly meditation, written by Sir Thomas More Knight while he was prisoner in the Tower of London in the year of our Lord 1534.1
Give me Thy grace, good Lord,
To set my mind fast3 upon Thee,
To be content to be solitary;
Little and little utterly to cast off the world,
Not to long to hear of any worldly things,
Gladly to be thinking of God,
To lean unto the comfort of God,
To know mine own vility8 and wretchedness,
To bewail my sins passed;
Gladly to bear my purgatory here;
To walk the narrow way that leadeth to life,
To have the last thing9 in remembrance,
To make death no stranger to me,
To pray for pardon before the judge come,
For His benefits uncessantly11 to give Him thanks,
To abstain from vain confabulations13
Recreations15 not necessary to cut off;
To think my most18 enemies my best friends;
These minds19 are more to be desired of every man
1. This heading is from the 1557 English Works, but the text of the prayer given here is taken directly from More's handwritten version in the margins of a book of hours he had with him in the Tower.
St. Thomas More (1478-1535)

Since I started writing my blog to embrace turning forty it has become something I enjoy doing very much. Just for myself. Sometimes it can be a struggle finding time to write and what to write about but it is always there, gently ticking along.
And I have given this much thought. If I want to continue writing then I need to talk about this too. Right now. As I journey through this time that I can't stop happening, yet which feels like it's not happening. Or like it's happening someplace over there in my periphery vision.
So forgive me that I talk about this. Feel free to come back another time, I do understand.
So here goes.
Grief, whilst intensely private, is also widely public too. There is no keeping it to yourself. It is news that has to be shared, even if you don't want to share it. Even if you don't share it yourself. Each new person that knows, only compounds what you don't want to believe has happened. It is quite true that people know what you have to say before the words have even been spoken. The very first person I had to break the news to, spared me the pain of having to say it out loud. I only had to answer 'yes'. The second person, unable to digest fast enough the look on my face, before realisation hit them.
And then, like how people describe ripping off a bandaid, you want to get the news out there quickly to your people. Before you lose the nerve to talk about it again. Can I whisper to you my most painful secret. Will you listen to me as I tell you how my whole world has changed forever. Placing upon you the burden of my tears, my sorrow, your heart breaking for me too.
I'm still not ready for this. I still don't feel it is real. I've been saying this for a week now. All of a sudden a week has passed us by. I'm shaking my head as I write this. Weird I know.
And yet, I've known this day would come. But somehow I also forgot too. That's what I remember thinking in the hospital. Since I got that voicemail from the nurse looking after my Dad. Could I call them directly on the ward. They were concerned. So I did. Can you come into the hospital as soon as possible. So I did. Asking for a huge favour from someone I barely knew but remain forever grateful to. Going into school and having to tell my children that Mummy has to go and see Gung Gung and they will be staying with school friends overnight and what an exciting and unexpected adventure that was going to be.
Driving up to the hospital in disbelief. Shock even. Messages from my cousin to hurry but also drive carefully. Seeing my Dad. How was this change even possible. I just spoke to you the evening before. You were you. Telling me not to worry. You were on antibiotics and felt fine. You sounded fine. Like normal. Giving me parenting advice. Like normal. Everything was like normal. Except for the hospital part. And that was far from normal.
Is it possible to forget something as monumentally important as being told your Dad may not have long to live. This was back in April this year. My Dad was critically ill in hospital then. I had already sat in the same small Nurses office before. Being told exactly the same news. It wasn't any easier the second time. Twice I did not tell my Dad what I knew. And he didn't need to know. But I knew and carried it in my heart, devastated back then with this knowledge. Clearly remembering asking myself whether I would feel truly happy again. I thought I had started feeling my loss then but as the Dr told us again and again, when the time comes it will hit you afresh and to go easy on yourself.
So how did I forget? Well, after five weeks in hospital he gradually got better. With the help from many others, my Uncle who cooked daily for him and my cousin who was there to look after him when I wasn't. You could also hear it in his voice day by day in our phone calls. Then the phone calls were no longer daily as normal life resumed. It was at this time that our plans to relocate back to the UK were underway. And whilst of course it was sad to leave Singapore and all that was held there, and hard work to set up a new home over here in a new town knowing no one, I knew what else was there to be gained.
I've only heard my Dad cry twice. Once at my Grandma's funeral. The second time at the end of April when I called him from Heathrow Airport before my flight to Singapore. I said to him I would be back in three months. His voice broke at that point.
Even if it has only been for a few months. I would have preferred more. Just one more day I kept asking for. More time to see each other. More things to say. More photos to show you of what we have been up to. More of everything. And the terrible thing of knowing there will be no more, is that you start silently playing a warped game of 'Have you ever…' Which changes to 'I will never…'
I will never be able to talk to you again. I will never be able to share this moment of your grandchildren's day with you. I will never be making plans to see you.
I will just never.
And understanding that is the hardest part of this journey. Because I am not ready for this. But who is.
My Dad though, surprised the medical and nursing team. Several times they thought it wouldn't be long. Including that day over two weeks ago. The Dr predicted just hours. So all the family came to see him. And just as they were about to leave, my Dad decides no one tells him when it is time. He came back to full consciousness. We had good conversations that night. With him asking me who had come to see him that day. So I listed everyone who came. He asked again several times that night. Almost incredulous that he missed it all. Just recalling this makes me smile.
My Dad smiled a lot. He liked his photo taken. He smiled a lot for photos.
That next day when his Consultant came to do the rounds, they told me that they were surprised to see the change in him because of his blood test results. They were not good. That part was not reversible. They made it very clear. I think back and wonder if I accepted this information too easily. But what else could I do. My whole focus was my Dad being comfortable. Making him aware that he was not alone. That he was loved. That he was safe and I would help him as much as I could. But on the ward he did feel safe and he did trust his Consultant. It was evident in the exchange they had that morning. And it was good to see this between them.
Doctors and Nurses must care for so many people day in and day out. But when they say they remember my Dad from his stay back in April, I believe them. And it comes as no surprise that they remember how polite he always was and how he liked to drink warm water and tea, no sugar. And he in turn appreciated the fact the staff looked after him so well. That the support staff remembered to fill his flask with hot water and cleaned his false teeth for him.
My Dad always said thank you to everything with a smile. He is one of those rare types of gentlemen.
We all underestimated him. Mistaking his small frame for a frail man. I mean he was physically quite frail from illness. Weak lungs and a few other things. Hence another chest infection could go either way. But the way he hung on for all those extra days. Showed a man of great strength. To the point where the Dr said they were giving up on predicting when, as he played to his own rules. Quite right. And he did. Choosing his moment exactly so.
And even though I wasn't there, I would like to believe that my Dad knew I was where he wanted me to be. With my own Husband and children. I had told my Dad all week that I had to go home and look after the children because my Husband had to return to Singapore for work. We were already lucky enough with how generous his work had been allowing me this time to spend with my Dad. So I left the hospital that afternoon, said Goodbye to my Dad and I'd see him tomorrow as I was coming back up with the children so they could see their Uncle. But I knew any visit thereafter would be brief. Perhaps he knew it too.
That Friday I got home and we took the children to our first proper Christmas market. Fairground rides. Mulled wine. Hot chocolate. I called my brother to say I was back safe.
In April and a few times before, my Dad had said if it was his time to go, it would be ok because my Brother and I were grown up with lives and families of our own. He worried most about leaving us too soon when we were children. Probably because that's what happened to him and his siblings, but that's another story. He was content. His job fulfilled.
Even so Dad. I'm still not ready. A week on, I feel so sad but a little less like I can't breath without crying. I still cry of course. I easily cry. Even before this. Let alone after this. But this is different.
Right now I feel like the world and the way I move around in it has changed forever. I asked others if they felt that way too.
Someone suggested I write through this. I can now see why it would be cathartic. By writing this down, it allows room to remember other parts that are not altogether sad. Some parts are even funny. Other parts poignant. Some parts belonged to the memories of others who have generously shared them with me so that I can collect double memories.
My Dad, my beloved Dad, Mr Li passed away peacefully a week ago Friday with my brother by his side.
Saying it out loud here doesn't make it feel any more real but it has helped. In the coming days and weeks perhaps there's more I would like to say. But for now it's enough.
To my much loved Dad. I know you were tired. I could see it. And in that moment when I said to you it was ok to go because my heart knows one day I will see you again. Not just yet though but I definitely will.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made through this justgiving page to Ward 29, Freeman Hospital Newcastle.

I can't believe we survived one year without Topical Steroid creams and Protopic. It has been a bumpy road because of the good days and bad days.
This is a compilation video of Catherine's Journey since she was born. It makes me feel emotional to see how my little girl has suffered through all this time. But at the same time, I feel happy for all the improvements she has had since we stopped Topical Steroids and Protopic.
Despite the fact, I'm a great supporter of the Moisturizer Withdrawal approach, I have to admit that the method is harsh, especially for our little girl who is constantly itchy. So, we decided to moisturize her twice a day with a homemade infused cream. The infusion is really simple, it has Shea butter, Coconut oil, Manuka honey, Primrose oil, Neem oil and Calendula oil. See Homemade Skin Moisturizer Recipe Here
11 months 10 days: There is hope!
Last week, we went to a new doctor. We chose him because he has integrated homeopathy into his pediatric medical practice and he has been acknowledged for being one of the top pediatricians here in Miami. However, despite the fact we told him about all the steroid addiction and our bad experience, he prescribed her cortisone and a topical antibiotic for 7 days.
We agreed to apply the antibiotic cream, Mupiricin, because we were worried about any serious infection, but we were against the corticosteroid for all the side effects. Thank goodness, he was open minded and said that we could replace it with something natural like coconut oil.
So, we applied the antibiotic cream in the affected areas with a homemade infusion (shea butter, coconut oil, primrose oil, neem oil, manuka honey) and she responded very well.
We are now waiting for the results of her IGG test to know her food intolerances.
Another stressful month. In summary, Catherine didn't recover from last month's flare up, my husband and I went out of control, we started moisturizing again and I had an infection under the root canal.
Moisturizer cream alternative
We applied twice a day organic raw honey to treat the oozing areas. According to literature, honey has been used successfully to treat skin problems. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties makes it suitable for eczema sufferers.
Caregivers S.O.S
Since we started TSW, I have prioritized my daughter's needs over mine. I didn't take care of my teeth as I used to and the result was a root canal infection. Nothing compares to the pain associated with infected dental pulp. Thanks God is over.
After 11 months, I can resume this process as the worst nightmare ever. I knew this process would be challenging, but I never imagined that my faith and patience would be tested daily. Lack of sleep, emotional ups and downs, stares from rude strangers, intense itching all the time. My husband, who is a gentle person with a lot of patience, was out of control during this month. It also happened to me while I was driving. We have to cheer each other up to don't give up.
Finally, we believe Catherine might be infected, so, we made an appointment with a new doctor. I'll keep you posted.
It was a very tough month. I haven't been able to write up a post because Catherine has been itchy most of the time. I knew that a flare up was coming, but I didn't think it would be so bad. Now, she has big red patches in her cheeks, armpits and chin again.
I had so high expectations regarding Catherine's recovery on this month that going through another flare up really upset me. Our theory regarding this new flare up is that she might be experiencing teething symptoms. Teething can be stressful and this can triggers eczema.
We have noticed that whenever she is tired, her skin starts to become itchy. This discomfort intensifies before every nap and while she is sleeping. Therefore, every night is a nightmare, Catherine's sleep is interrupted several times due to the itching. We try to make turns with my husband to avoid that she scratches so bad until she bleeds, but at this point we feel so sleep deprived that sometimes we fall asleep with her and we are not able to stop the itchfests.
Anti-scratch sleeves don't work for her anymore because now that she is bigger and stronger, she turns her body against the pillow to rub her cheeks fiercely.
Since she stopped breastfeeding, she has been obsessed with food. She has been eating chicken and beef stock with vegetables, turkey patties, green lentils, white rice and quinoa. Garbanzo pancake and banana bread (dairy and egg free) for breakfast; also apples, pears and cantaloupe. Additionally, rice milk and homemade coconut milk. For snacks, roasted edamame, cauliflower, fruit popsicles and Enjoy Life Sugar Crisp cookies.
In summary, I can conclude that TSW progress is not linear. Last month, I had the good feeling like we were near the end; this month, I feel like giving up. Definitely, I will need an extra dose of patience for the upcoming month.
After months of tranquility, yesterday was a really bad day. Another bloody episode that undermined Catherine's progress. I left her unattended for 5 minutes, while I was washing the dishes, and when I found her, she was sitting in the floor silently clawing her nails all over her face. She was bleeding so bad that I could barely see her eyes. Instead of getting mad, my reaction was to cry, cry so loud like a baby; she was in shock, I picked her and I took her to the bathroom; while I was cleaning her face, she said: "I'm sorry". I felt devastated, like the worst caregiver ever. Hopefully, she can heal faster from this.
It was a good month. Finally, our first road trip since we started the withdrawal process. A couple of months ago, it was impossible to drive for more than 30 minutes because she felt constantly itchy. Therefore, driving for four hours without complaining was a big milestone.
Catherine had a blast in Sarasota despite the bad weather conditions: hot and humid with tons of mosquitoes. She only complained of being itchy when we were on our way to the hotel and before getting to sleep.
Catherine has red patches in both arms, torso, armpits and at the top of her feet. She wakes up constantly at night rubbing her face. Now, she hates to use the anti-scratch sleeves, so we have to wait until she is sleeping to put them on, but sometimes, we are so tired that we forget; so, she scratches so bad that makes her sensitive areas bleed.
In the last months, we have seen a link between Catherine's behavior and scratching. Every time she is sleepy, asleep, hungry or bored she feels really itchy. For that reason, we are looking for alternatives to break the itch-scratch habit.
Since she stopped nursing, her appetite increased. Her diet is limited to chicken stock with vegetables, turkey patties and snacks like oven roasted cauliflower, kale and soybeans. She eats a popsicle made from fresh apples and carrots almost every day. She also eats white rice or quinoa in every meal.
In summary, it was a great month! We are now able to do so many things that we previously couldn't do. Going for vacations was a good way to revitalize us. We enjoyed as a family like we used to.
Another great month for Catherine. Finally, I stopped breastfeeding. We didn't see any significant change after weaning, so, I can conclude that my breast milk was not the culprit for her skin condition like many people believed.
In this month, Catherine's development has been outstanding, she is always in good mood, playing, laughing, and exploring. Her appetite has increased dramatically. We are going out more frequently and she is definitely enjoying it. Now that she feels more secure, she is more independent. She is climbing everywhere and testing her limits. She counts from 1 to 10 in Spanish, English and Cantonese. Clearly, she is another girl.
Catherine's skin is very dry and scaly. Therefore, continuing the moisturizer withdrawal approach will be a difficult task. Additionally, she still wakes up in the middle of the night rubbing her face; sometimes, she rubs her face so bad that make her skin oozes.
Despite her skin is improving, she still has to use gauzes in her arms, legs and body, because when she is wrapped, she feels more comfortable and she is less itchy. Definitely, It must be something psychological.
Bone broths, white rice, and vegetables. For snacks, roasted edamame, kale, cantaloupe, fruit popsicles, and once in a while, sugar cookies (dairy-egg free).
Overall, it was a good month. Catherine is discovering new things and she is enjoying every new experience. We are truly grateful for her skin progress!
After 21 months exclusively breastfeeding, I decided to wean off last week. It was the perfect time since she was showing signs of improvement in her skin. I feel relief after having a very strict diet for almost two years due to her food allergies. Nursing her was the best soothing aid during the first months of TSW. [READ MORE]
Finally a turn for the better. Catherine has made a lot of progress in healing this month. The oozing from her left cheek stopped. Her face looks like it wants to clear up. There are a lot of challenges ahead, but we are very grateful for every little bit of improvement we see.
Her torso is still covered with red spots. Her legs are very dry and scaly and her left wrist is still swollen. At night, she rubs her face constantly and she doesn't get back to sleep until she nurses. I have noticed a pattern that she feels itchy when she feels bored, hungry or sleepy.
She has been doing a modified GAPS Diet. She consumes broth every day, probiotic once a week, and cod liver oil as well. She eats cantaloupe, oven-roasted cauliflower, edamame, kale and chickpeas as snacks. According to the GAPS Diet, she should avoid most fruits and legumes from her diet. However, Catherine seems to tolerate well these foods. Additionally, in this month, we eliminated red meat and rice.
Moisturizer Withdrawal
Catherine has benefited from MW. Her skin is getting stronger. Now, she is not using any cream, oil or soap in her body. I encourage other parents to try this method and see the difference.
I feel relief. Finally we are getting results! She is no longer taking antihistamine, antibiotics or applying any kind of topical steroid cream.
Catherine is a brave girl going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal. The goal of this blog is to raise awareness about Topical Steroid Addiction and Withdrawal.

How to Winterize Your Tent Trailerby Caprice Castano
Yes, there is more to storing your tent trailer than just lowering the top and parking it for the season. Dry rot, mildew, corrosion, broken pipes and other damage can occur if you do not prepare your tent trailer for winter. Take a few steps at the end of your camping season to make sure everything is in order for the cold months, and your trailer will stay in tip top shape when spring and the next camping season rolls around.
Clean out the trailer thoroughly. Remove any food items that may attract rodents. Wash out the refrigerator and vacuum crumbs from cupboards or storage areas. Sweep the floors and clean rugs or cushions. Be sure to lift all beds and cushions and clean beneath them to remove any debris.
Remove all gear such as aerosol cans, toiletries that may freeze, pillows, coolers or fishing gear that you may want to store elsewhere for the winter.
Wash the exterior of the tent trailer with a mild detergent, soft scrub brush and water.
Perform any minor repairs inside or out that you think need attention.
Open all drains and faucets and drain the water lines and water tanks. Bypass the hot water tank if you have one according to your manufacturers instructions. Close faucets and drains and add RV antifreeze to the other water lines and tanks. This is not the same as automotive antifreeze, which is highly toxic, this is special antifreeze that you can purchase from an RV supplier or dealer.
Remove the battery and store elsewhere.
Cover all vents and openings other than the door with heavy plastic or tarp to keep unwanted visitors out during the winter.
Lubricate moving parts, check and grease the wheels and re-pack the bearings if necessary. Check all electrical connections and make sure the lights are in working order and repair any burned out bulbs. Park the trailer so that the wheels are not resting on dirt. You can lift and block the trailer after it is closed if you desire to keep the tires from sitting on the ground through the winter.
Add a chemical air dryer to the tent trailer by setting it on a level surface, such as the floor, before closing the trailer. This will keep humidity and moisture out and reduce the chance of mildew.
Cover, or leave the tent trailer uncovered, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Some tent trailers should be sheltered by a tarp, others are not meant to be covered. Consult your manual to determine which step is necessary for your type of trailer.

Many people have found that technology training is a good idea for making money. There is a lot of competition, but there is a lot of work too. Check out some website creation methods that could set you apart from the pack.
It's crucial for your site to pass a NoScript test. Download this extension in Firefox and see how your site looks. It will be normal for some content not to work, like the ordering system, but a blank page is a red flag.
It's imperative that you include a tagline somewhere that will be very noticeable on your website. The tagline includes a motto or clever phrase that speaks to the purpose of your business. It's important to use a tagline that is clear since you have about eight seconds when someone goes to your page to get them interested in exploring your entire website.
Don't make page sizes too big. Some Internet users have slow connections, and they will grow impatient with your site. If it takes too long many will just leave and visit a different website.
In order for your site to bring in visitors, its navigation must be intuitive. Make all links prominent and easily located. You can also improve your website's navigation by using simple menus. Ensure that there are links to all of your main pages, such as the home and contact pages, in a prominent location on every page.
Let people cancel any action they have started. This could be a form that they have been filling out, registering for newsletters or emails, or even browsing the website for certain topics or archives. If visitors cannot cancel an action they are not interested in, such as providing their contact information, they will feel they do not have a choice and won't buy anything.
Allow your users the ability to cancel something if they are not happy with what they typed in. Actions include registering for any e-mail notifications, browsing the site, or filling out forms. Forcing your user to complete an action they don't wish to will ensure they never sign up for anything on your site again, nor are they likely to return at all.
No matter the audience you seek to target or the focus of your site, it is important to focus on load times that are under ten seconds. A site that is designed well will only take a few seconds to load. Your viewers want instant gratification, so you need to provide it.
In order to provide the clean yet effective site you have created in your mind, you need to purchase a site building and design program that offers the tools you require. These professional programs are easy to use and can help you make beautiful sites faster. It doesn't matter how good your content is if your site is dated and unusable.
Your content should be useful and interesting. The actual site design "look" is important, but content is king. Visitors are likely to return to your website if they find the content informative and it fulfills their needs.
Make sure that you include efficient search capabilities when you're designing a large website. People have become accustomed to search boxes being in the upper-right corner of the page, so put it there. These should let you at least search for one term, but it's better if it allows multiple terms. You can find viable search features through companies like FreeFind or Google.
It's hard to go wrong with a simple color like white for the background of your website. Few visitors take issue with a white background, which looks professional or, at worst, neutral. Text content is also more clear on a white background. Complicated background designs on the other hand can be distracting, and can make your website feel less professional. For backgrounds, simpler is usually preferable.
Elicit feedback from your visitors. You will learn what is missing or misunderstood, and be able to make changes as needed. Remember, when your visitors feel like they are involved with your website, they are more likely to make repeat visits.
Create CSS pages and conditional loading when designing a website. These techniques will make it easier to test and maintain your site. Your site will need maintenance on a regular basis, and you want to make that as easy as possible to do.
Site Yourself
There is a universe of websites to help you when you are out of ideas in designing your website. There is no shortage of websites from which you can draw inspiration. Find a website that you like, identify what makes that website appealing, and determine if it is an idea that you can borrow and improve upon. Remember though, you still want an original design, not a potluck of other site ideas. You also need to take things up a notch.
Even if you have decided to invest a lot of money into your website, hosting a site yourself isn't the best idea. Designing the site yourself is a good idea, but when it comes to hosting, it's usually better to use a third party. This will free up your time to concentrate on more important things.
Hosting your own website might not be a good choice. You should design it yourself (or at least as much as possible), but allowing someone else to host your site frees you up and allows you to focus on other things besides the site's safety and security.
Build small sites at first, analyze what worked and what didn't. Begin by making a few very simplistic pages that offer just basic text, and check out how well you do with that.
When you are choosing a website hosting service, you want to see exactly what is included in their offer. It's important to understand what your needs are in regards to CPU, RAM, bandwidth, hard drive space and specific software needs like PHP or MySQL. Never buy a hosting package without understanding everything that's included.
Before committing to any website hosting service, make sure that you understand all of the features offered by the particular service package. Fundamental items that you need details of include bandwidth, CPU usage and disk space. It is important to know exactly what is included in the cost.
A basic layout should be used for your site in the beginning, this way you can get an understanding of the basics of web design. Once you get more comfortable with web designing, you can use a more advanced layout.
The Internet contains lots of information on building your first website. Learning as much as you can about creating a web page from the people who know the most about it will be the quickest way for you to get your site up and running. When you do not have advice from expert, you may end up with a badly designed website that people do not want to visit.
If you want to know the effectiveness of your site's design, consider utilizing task-based usability tests. The purpose of these is to find functionality or information buried within your website. When a site is designed well, the user is not going to run into problems trying to complete the task. However, if your site is poorly built, this exercise can shine a light on areas your site needs to improve upon.
You should use a visible tagline for all your pages. It needs to be the first thing the viewers sees when they follow links, so make sure the text is large and bold. It has to explain what the page is about so your visitor can quickly decide to stick around or not.
Never be forceful in the direction a viewer wants to take. Pop-up advertising, surveys and other offers are annoying and should never be used. By removing a viewer's options and forcing them to do as you please, you are likely losing their service and creating a bad review for your domain.
If you want to find out how to develop a website, there is no need to pay for information. Books on web design may be a decent investment. Many magazines have books have numerous tips and tricks. However you can usually find all of this information online for free. Money spent on books will not provide anything that different from free sources.
Remember that you don't really have to spend a lot of money to design a nice website. There are certainly expensive design tools out there, but many companies offer software with similar features at a fraction of the cost. Open source applications can often do the same job as applications that cost money. These open source solutions are the key to saving money in your budget.
Be sure to check on your website statistics frequently so that you will know how you are doing. This lets your know your visitor's demographics and tastes. This will point to what you need to update in order to keep visitors returning.
You don't have to do everything yourself. Effective web design requires the developer to understand a variety of different disciplines, including programming, SEO, useability and graphic design principles. If you need help, don't be shy about asking for it. You can hire a professional or a company to assist you with anything that you're unfamiliar with.
To be a good web designer it is important that you learn from many experienced people in this industry that you can. This helps you approach site design with a very diverse perspective.
Make sure your site's design isn't too similar to other sites in your niche. Go look at your competitors' websites. It will be nearly impossible to stand out from the pack if your site is too similar to everyone else's. In addition, you will just be a generic version of a similar site that came before yours.
Technology speeds along at a dazzling clip, and it is smart to stay up to pace with new developments. A website is crucial to the success of a business, including its ability to find new customers. If you understand this, you understand how web page design is turning profits for many people.
Use your artistic skills to design websites. This means that you should feel inspired by the everyday things in life, and put that inspiration to work. Don't hesitate to use unconventional methods like scribbling a note on the palm of your hand. You can jot down notes on a notepad, carry a small recorder, send yourself a text message or email or call your answering machine or voicemail and leave yourself a message.
Make any logos on your website link to the home page. Most websites with a logo have that logo linked to the home page, and your visitors will expect this. Visitors will become frustrated if there is no easy way to return to the home page. Incorporating a clickable logo greatly increases your site's usability.
Free web hosting might sound like a bargain, but it can quickly turn into a nightmare. Avoid it for any of your business needs. Although free always sounds good, especially to someone starting up a business, these hosts will crowd your site with all kinds of ads which you have no control over. Not only will this go against your beliefs, but it will also drive your visitors mad.
Use social media links to allow your readers to share your content easily. This will let them spread your message quickly and also boost your site's traffic.
It is important to keep all links on your website up-to-date and working. Proper web designing entails having working links, so users do not get annoyed. To prevent these things from happening, create a time frame at regular intervals where you check all the links for proper functionality.
Keep the colors simple. For example, avoid dark text on a dark background. It is hard for visitors to read. Avoid using complicated patterns as background. The text and pattern will mix together. The best idea is often the simplest: a white background with black text.
Include at least some white space on your site. Your content is the main focus of the site and effectively using white space will help direct the visitor's eye. Don't clutter your pages with useless information or images.
If you are a new webmaster, you might want to consider using shared hosting or grid hosting, as oppose to hosting your website on a dedicated server. This will allow you to see how much traffic you get.
Find cheat sheets, checklists and code snippets and bookmark them for later. Gathering such resources can also lead you to outstanding advice for making site improvements.
Millions exist online, and many are similar to one another. You need to rise above the others to make your mark online. Utilize these suggestions to stand out.
Don't hire a relative to design your website. Even if they are experienced in web design, firing them or telling them you are unhappy with their product will become much more difficult.

The Beekman 1802 pierced tin lanterns are the same sort that William Beekman and men of his station would have used in their homes and establishments in the early 1800s. Each lantern is created by our tinsmith Michael Houser by first punching the design into flat pieces of tin and then rolling them into the lantern shape. Piercing the design from the inside out creates a raised edge around the outer surface that baffles wind and rain and keeps the inner flame burning during all sorts of weather conditions.In a darkened atmosphere, the punched design becomes very distinct and casts a beautiful pattern on a nearby wall or ceiling.Made of tinplate, which is a thin sheet of iron or steel coated with tin, to inhibit corrosion.Interior holds a 6" tall or less tapered candle.

The City striker believes playing at the Ricoh Arena will help City achieve success this season...
Coventry City striker Simeon Jackson has lauded the positive impact of the Ricoh Arena announcement on the City squad ahead of the MK Dons game.
The 27-year old striker signed for the club on Monday on a free transfer and made his first team debut for City as a late substitute in the 2-2 draw against Barnsley.
Jackson also featured for the City Under-21s in midweek and completed 45 minutes in the 0-0 draw against Swansea City at Liberty Way.
The former Norwich City striker believes playing in a bigger arena provides a huge lift to the squad and that the City fans can now make it difficult for the opposing side.
Jackson said: "Playing in an arena like that just gives you a huge lift as a player. The home fans, when there are more fans in the stadium of course, can make it an extremely opposing place.
"The huge positive is to get back into the Ricoh Arena so early on in the season as we now know as a group where we be playing and how we can progress this season.
"It has had an enormous impact on the players and everyone is smiling at the moment. I'd heard a few things about it when I signed but it wasn't a factor.
"The announcement and the fact we're going to be playing at the Ricoh Arena is a real cherry on top."
Jackson is in contention for the MK Dons game tomorrow with competition fierce in the forward area, with Josh McQuoid, Marcus Tudgay and Shaun Miller all competing for two positions.
Having trained with the City squad for almost a week, Jackson admitted he is desperate for match fitness and hopes to play at stadium:MK.
He added: "I'm still short of match minutes really. My fitness has been improving and I kept myself in good shape during pre-season with my own personal training regime.
"When you come into a club with players who have gone through a pre-season, you're always going to be behind the rest of the squad.
"I'm just going to keep doing everything and I've really enjoyed training. The standard is very high here and I feel myself getting better.
"I'm hoping to play at MK Dons as I feel the more time on the pitch I get, the better I will become."

Orpheus is back. I'm happy about that.
Orpheus is back. I'm happy about that.
Hey, it starts on my birthday!
...still Hatred and not Brock? Meh.
As someone who bingied it recently I'm really looking forwards to it.
Go team Venture.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Its that for THREE SEASONS now they've left in the pedophile joke guy while completely sidelining the best character on the show.
Changing the status quo for a little while to mix it up is fine, but when the seasons take three years apiece now that's just... meh.
I mean I guess Hatred fits the "failure" motif of the series better but he's just... not funny or interesting.
He's also yet another character done by the two heads so there's just always conversations with themselves.
Also... Monarch is best character.
Brock is the bodyguard again tho isn't he?
In Season 6, Rusty getting rich meant he "Hit the big time again" and Brock got reassigned to him. Hatred quit when they tried to give him a desk job and ended up head of security for Venture Industries.
Personally, I like Hatred when they're doing literally anything else with him besides the pedophile jokes. Those make me groan, but I don't think they've been dipping into that well all too much. His interactions with Rusty in the Teddy Talks-a-Lot episode were hilarious I thought and I don't recall them ever making pedo jokes there.
I really should binge the series again because after all these years it's easy to forget a lot of what's happened.
I am also glad to see Orpheus and the Order of the Triad again, I think they were absent last season?
Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. - Frank Zappa
So, the first two episodes of the new season are around online. Dunno how they leaked, but... they're out there. Beware of spoilers.
No comment on content till the official airing.
I watched the episodes.
Spoiler:Even heavier continuity this time around; the first two episodes played like part of a bigger movie.
Each one has a sort of retcon to it that I didn't expect. I sorta don't like that the problem light has a bigger role now, since the original joke was something about stupid engineering design. I'll reserve judgement on what they're doing with Jonas's body until I see what they do with it, but I'm at once sorta meh on the retcon and excited to see what they do with it. Second one is Dr. Dugong being alive, which takes a bit of the bite out of the episode where he died, but I'll buy the explanation they gave about starfish. But he's such a weenis!
As for the eps themselves, really enjoyable. Looks like these two eps are sorta combo proper season 6 finale and season 7 intrigue. I guess Wide Whale's sorta out of the villain picture for now? The Monarch's moonlighting is out in the open, and we get a follow-up on Red Death knowing about the Monarch (looking like he has a bigger role this season, which I'm into!). I have no fucking clue what's going on with the Venture building and this other Blue Morpho thing. Maybe time shenanigans? Or maybe Red Death is pulling some strings to give the guild a Blue Morpho head that isn't the Monarch's? And are we going to learn more about Movie Night on Gargantua 1? Does that have something to do with this? Guess we're finding out piecemeal.
Also glad the Order of the Triad are back! If the Venture building intrigue keeps up, they'll probably be around for the season, too. As much as I love the continuing story, though, I really hope we get a standalone episode or two. Rewatching the series from the beginning reminded me of how great Doc and Publick's writing is in the tighter stories. I'm hoping the whole murder bear thing in the season trailer is some sign pointing to that, since I don't know how he'd fit into everything. Can't wait to see what we have coming, though.
NNID: Gibbs-free
The first episode of Venture Bros Season 7 is now up on Adult Swim's website.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I watched the first episode of Season 7, all I can say I didn't expect that to happend.
Spoiler:Great episode to start the new season, I didn't expected the Jonas reveal to happened. Also it's great that the Order of the Triad are back. All I can say I can't wait what happens next on this show.
Spoilers from the leak
Spoiler:Was that Vendata/Venturion/Monarch's father(?) at the end of ep2? The the PROBLEM activation made him regain his memories? I did not expect that Monarch's robot zombie father would save him from the Blue Morpho situation. And Man Red Death is a fantastic addition to the show.
The 2nd episode of Season 7 is now up on Adult Swim website. And it was a great episode.
Spoiler:Red Death continues to be one of my favorite new characters that have been introduce into the series. I didn't expect Wide Wale's origin was going to all the way back to Dr. Dugong from Season 3.
The third episode of Season 7 is now up on Adult Swim's website.
Spoiler:Great episode, we got more information about Jona and Blue Morpho's past in the episode. One thing I didn't expect the revealed that the Sovereign started the entire Pyramid war between OSI and SPHINX. Red Death's looks great during the flashback. The post credits scene at the end of the episode with the joke about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade made me laugh very hard.
If Venture Bros. is not the greatest adult animation of all time I don't fucking know what a television is.
Spoiler:Gezz, Jonas was a full blown psycho surrounded by a patsy of sociopaths. Has the man ever done something that was not self-centered? No kidding Dr. Killinger thought Rusty was a super villain.
I guess the Monarch will get a seat in the council much to Hamilton's dismay. And I can't stress how great of an addition Read Death has been, the guy is incredible. Just like Mr. Fahrenheit.
Sooooooo many old questions and threads tied up and answered. But some new ones as a result.
Spoiler:So Rusty and Monarch are step brothers. I think I came to that conclusion way the hell back in maybe the second season? Neat to see it finally confirmed, even if they'll never know it.
Though Dr. Wife might be able to piece it together.

Turkey intercepts Russian jet in its air space
(CNN)Turkey said it intercepted a Russian jet that violated its air space over the weekend.
The country called in the Russian ambassador and lodged a strong condemnation of the violation, Turkey's foreign ministry said Monday.
"The Russian Federation will be responsible for any undesired incident that may occur," the foreign ministry statement warned.
The incident occurred Saturday in the Yayladagi region of Turkey's southern Hatay province.
"The Russian aircraft exited Turkish airspace into Syria after it was intercepted by two F-16s from the Turkish Air Force, which were conducting patrols in the region."
Turkey and Russia are at odds regarding the bloody civil war raging in Syria. Ankara's position is that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has to go for the conflict to end. Moscow backs the Syrian leader and has begun airstrikes that it says are against ISIS militants.
Syria backing Russian strikes
On Sunday, Syrian Foreign Minister said the Russia's strikes had been effective against the militants in comparison to those of the U.S-backed coalition, state news agency SANA reported.
"Minister al-Zoubi said the U.S-led coalition is not serious and all of its raids on ISIS brought no tangible results because the real purpose was not destroying ISIS but on the contrary preserving it for as long as possible with the aim of achieving certain goals," the agency said.
It follows an interview by Al-Assad to Iranian television station Khabar TV, in which he was optimistic that a coalition of Iran, Russia, Iraq and Syria would achieve real results on the ground, according to a transcript carried by SANA Sunday.
"It must succeed; otherwise the whole region, not only one or two countries, will be destroyed," al-Assad said.
