Your favourite post/theory ever
Rissole25 replied to anonymous's topic in Member Lounge@AlphaSnake's Satanic Illuminati Involvement in Zombies Like just going back to this makes me smile so much, and I think it was actually one of the many threads that actually made me join up to CoDz. I remembered being somewhat nervous/scared about it all cause I was like wtf this is just a spin off game mode.
RequixEclipse started following Rissole25
Points, money, coins, or whatever you call it
Rissole25 replied to anonymous's topic in Story DiscussionDon't forget about the Moneybags feature in Vulture Aid. You'll get some really small points with that. Not sure if that helps or hinders your theory though.
How I think Newton's Cookbook should have worked
Rissole25 replied to ZombiesAteMyPizza!'s topic in General ZombiesKinda funny how the Cookbook has created an economy of sorts. No one used Unbearable. And now it's the most sort after gum for the sole use of trading. Even more funny, it's a regular Mega, but I'm pretty sure it's actually rarer to obtain since you have so many more other Mega's, that you're more likely to obtain the Rare's and Ultra-Rare's. Overall it just seemed silly that they introduced another currency that you use the other currency to buy (I do like you get 30 free a day, but it just seems silly. I will always use my Divinium on the Factory).
Kino Der Toten Unsolved Secret
Rissole25 replied to NvrBtrThnL8's topic in Story DiscussionThis would be on The Giant as well wouldn't it?
I feel like you can tell who is very young by the people who don't like the name "Attack of the Radioactive Thing" (no offense if you don't like it and you're not young). IWZombies has always been a homage to these old styles/movies (hence the names being maps directed by Willard Wyler).
What is the best Treyarch zombie map? (opinions)
Rissole25 replied to andydabeast's topic in TreyarchAlthough neither are my favourites, I would have to say Moon and Der Eisendrache are perfect maps. The Easter Eggs are done really well on each map, not too hard (Moon does have the RNG problem though). The maps flow really well. All 8 perks on Moon, and Der Wunderfizz returned on DE (before it became a staple in every map after...) Moon has a ton of innovative mechanics, and while Der Eisendrache doesn't have too many, the recurring anti-gravity was nice. As for the story, Moon was the culmination, the main climax of our story. DE was pretty much the beginning of the BO3 story, and while I don't like how it went afterwards, at the time I was really excited.
How many Gobblegums can you name?
Rissole25 replied to ZombiesAteMyPizza!'s topic in General Zombies29/63. Oh my god that was terrible. After seeing the answers I knew majority of them but they just weren't coming to me. Or I knew the effect but not the name haha.
Lets talk Victis and a Mob of the Dead Remaster/Remake
Rissole25 posted a topic in General Zombies DiscussionSo we know from this Timeline entry, that Victus (AKA the TranZit Crew) arrive at Alcatraz. Richtofen has instructed Stanley Ferguson and the Illuminati to construct a lab beneath the prison. As of Comic 5, Victis currently has the Kronorium in their possession, and are looking to escape the Empty Earth. With one more issue left, we should see the events of this entry actually play out, and get more details on it. In the end, Richtofen is keeping this crew sleeping/safe in Dimension 63. Blundell easily could've killed these characters off. They served their purpose, and gave Richtofen the Kronorium. But he didn't, and specifically mentions they are to be kept safe until they are needed next. So he has a plan for them. Now fast forward to the next game coming out in 2018. It's safe bet that the default Zombies map will have characters played by celebrities, as we've seen with AW Zombies, IW Zombies, and BO3 Zombies. Whether they will be a once off crew or a crew we follow is anyone's guess. Prior Treyarch zombie maps have used 3 different celebrity groups once (CotD, MotD and SoE), as well as real life figures once (Five). Whereas AW Zombies and IW Zombies celebrities have stuck through all the maps. However, the secondary map is most definitely going to be a preorder/single map purchase. We saw this with Nuketown Zombies and The Giant. With these situations though, they generally try to do fan-favourites, to appease the fans and gain more pre-orders. With that said, I originally thought this would be Kino der Toten. But with it being in Revelations and especially Zombies Chronicles, that's out. So out of the maps we have left (Five, Call of the Dead, TranZit, Nuketown, Die Rise, Mob of the Dead and Buried), Mob of the Dead is the only one that stands out as truly a fan favourite. And so with that, I think it has a good chance of appearing in the next game as the second map. So putting 2 and 2 together. We have Victis on call beneath Alcatraz. Mob of the Dead has a high chance of being the preorder map for the next game. If Mob is remade (not remastered like ZC), we could see Victis as the playable characters. Possibly having just awakened from their sleep by Ferguson. Perhaps they will help Primis break out of Monty's cycle? So what do you guys think? Is it a real possibility? Would you like to see this happen?

List of bugs/glitches
Rissole25 replied to Tattoo247's topic in Zombies ChroniclesHaven't heard this one before. I would consider contacting Activision Support on Twitter, they might be able to help you.
A Zombie Trilogy v.III [NOW IN VIDEO]
Rissole25 replied to MysteryMachineX's topic in General Zombies DiscussionThere was a time when I'd make theory posts and specifically think "Now how will MMX debunk this" before I posted it. All in a good way of course . It would make me really rethink the theory again to make sure I was happy with it. Good luck with everything MMX.
What would you change about Tranzit?
Rissole25 replied to ZombiesAteMyPizza!'s topic in TranZitAdd a "Bus Stop" sign where you could call it to you for 500-2000 points. It costs more if it has to travel farther, like Diner to Bus Depot. Have the Denizen Light teleporters change colour every few seconds. Each colour corresponds to a light location, so when you jump in during that colour, you will be teleported to that location. So it gives you a way of knowing where you want to go. Make the Jet Gun unbreakable. Just make it stop working like the Paralyzer if it gets to max. Also give the Jet Gun a wider suck in radius. Seriously it seems to only kill zombies directly in the middle. When placing a Turbine at the Power Station, make it so it powered on permanently. So the PaP room stays open indefinitely. Those are the 4 main changes that would've made TranZit a great map for me.
Your favourite Zombies map trailer or music video?
Rissole25 replied to ZombiesAteMyPizza!'s topic in General Zombies DiscussionAlways gets the feels going. Also props to this one. Felt like a good mix between the WaW Style and a more serious tone like Mobs.
Maxis's Grand Scheme
Rissole25 replied to anonymous's topic in Story DiscussionThis is just shows the middle and left rockets, but the right rocket (behind me in this image) also has a Gersch portal too. Thought I'd take a snapshot instead of you guys having to sit through the video haha. With Maxis destroying the Earth, I do want to think that Apothicons did come in, but it's the wording in the Timeline that has me questioning. Dimension 63 has "The Apothicons destroy Dimension 63" written. So it's specifically stated and that it's a whole dimension. Whereas with ours it mentions just Maxis destroying our Earth (and killing everyone), but not specifically our Dimension. It doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I feel like they would've been specific if the Apothicons came in. However the Timeline does have errors (mainly spelling) so it could just be a case of just being really simple in that statement. Which brings me to my next point. I agree with you on everything else. And that Maxis somehow got corrupted when going to The Crazy Place, even though it's not really stated. He was a really, really shitty father beforehand, but it's after where his actions seem more evil then Richtofen's. The problem is that we play in The Crazy Place, and we don't "gain" electricity powers or go mad. So I'm not really sure how it happened to him (which they really should've explained). But it is called The Crazy Place. And we still don't really understand it fully, so I have no problem seeing that as where he got corrupted.

Miljenko "Mike" Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated "Paris Tasting" of 1976. Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich, as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.Show on map Website

"The Hess Collection vineyards represent the diverse growing conditions seen in the Napa Valley. We grow grapes in both cool climates and hot. Our sites are gently sloped along the Bay to steep in the mountains. History has taught us what is best for our vines, and we learn how to better tend to our vineyards with each passing vintage. This has allowed us to develop site specific viticulture programs for each of our ranches. At the same time we've instituted a number of environmentally-friendly initiatives that keep us at the forefront of sustainable vineyard practices." – Sander Scheer, ViticulturistShow on map Website

With over 30 years of winemaking experience, here are Art Finkelsteins thoughts on his profession, "Creating music from an instrument, ceramics from a lump of clay, or a great meal from fresh foods all represent forms of art to me. But to take grape vines, farm them to produce the highest quality fruit and then turn them into wine . . . well, this process gets me closer to and more appreciative of whatever higher power there may be out there than anything else. It has to be the most complete and challenging of all art forms. I continue to be amazed by it."Show on map Website

Bordeaux immigrant Jean Laurent came to California in 1852 to seek gold but instead founded one of the first wineries in Napa Valley. Laurent built his first winery in 1874, which was a modest wooden structure. Business was good and in 1879 he built the stone cellar that is the heart of the present-day winery. Laurent was one of the largest producers in the California wine boom of the 1880s. In those days, wines were sold in bulk and shipped by train to the east coast. After Laurent's death in 1890, the winery continued operating under a succession of owners.Show on map Website

Mustards Grill was named for the wild mustard flowers that bloom in the vineyards every spring, which help to nourish the soil. Mustard is an integral part of Napa Valley's wine growing diversity, makes for one heck of a condiment, and doesn't look too shabby in the springtime either! After 30 years of feeding Napa Valley and its visitors, Mustards Grill is still the hub of the food and wine community where winemakers lunch with truckers and chefs come to dine on their night off. Alternately known as the fancy rib joint with way too many wines, Mustards is still the place to go for a heaping plate of honest American fare with worldly sophistication, washed down with a glass of the valley's finest.Show on map Website

They gathered in numbers. Slowly at first. Most dressed in all their finery. A mark of respect. Was that justified, who's to know. But eventually the church was reasonably full. A surprisingly good turn out, considering.
Throughout his life he was a lover of music, and an accomplished musician himself. The lilting soft tones of his favourite piano pieces, echoed around the church walls, as played by the lady at the piano, on behalf of the church. The gentle soft, loving music, so out of sync with the church, with the life the man had led.
The crowd gathered, and shook the hands of the remaining living relatives, offering their commiserations, there shared sadness and reminiscences. Wheather it was true sadness, and grief, was quiet easy to see. Many, if not all, grateful that it was not them, nor one of their own who had been taken from this life. Glad they had escaped been clawed, dragged from this life.
His now grown children, with mixed emotions read from the lectern, remembering the few happy times they shared together. But I wont forget, the restraining order issued by the courts, to protect his wife and children from his madness and violence, as they waited in fear, awaiting his return to the family home, that he was likely at any time to unleash upon them. The finances used to indulge his selfish life style.
The affairs outside of the marriage, conducted in full view of the small town Ireland where he lived. The fleeing to England, with his latest flossy. The continual non payment of child and wife maintenance, rightfully due, but never paid. These are my memories of that man.
Others may have praised him, but it's what many do, at a funeral. But what did they know of his family life, nothing. Perhaps they knew, but chose to ignore. But for those of us close to what was happening, he will be forever remembered, for the bastard what he was, and good riddance to him. I refused to go to the wake, a well known Irish tradition. To drink to drunkenness, and praise the departed and weep for their loss. I refused to indulge in such false sentiment. I'm sure, and trust the Devil has a warm welcome for him. The world is better off today.

This is the heartwarming moment a boyfriend enlists the help of his pet pug to propose to his girlfriend.
Nadav Weinberg's partner Debbie thought she was about to sit down to a surprise brunch.
However, she got more then she bargained for when the couple's dog Roxie walked in the room with an engagement ring strapped to her back.
Nadav pops the question to his overjoyed girlfriend, however it takes a few second for her to actually get the ring on her finger as Roxie tries to wander off.
Eventually Nadav managed to slip the ring on the finger of a delighted Debbie, and it's perfect news because the sparkler is "the exact right fit," she exclaims.
The couple, of Tel Aviv, Israel, have been together two-and-a-half years.
Nadav bought the ring a month before he popped the question, creating a harness so Roxie could carry it to Debbie.
"I wanted this special moment to be 'us' as much as possible," Nadav later wrote online.
"The more I thought about what 'us' meant, the more I realised that Roxie, our pug, is a key part of our relationship and needed to be involved some way.
"It took Roxie a few minutes to get used to the box. She was very confused and rolled around on the ground with the diamond on her back."
And in another surprise, Nadav organised a surprise engagement party for the couple which saw some of Debbie's friends from America jetting in.
The video was uploaded to Newsflare following last month's proposal.

Newsletter from CAE EXPO, Urumqi, Xinjiang
September 2 to 7, 2013, AB Mauri took part in the 5-day 3rd China-Asia-Europe Expo. 50 countries/regions, 7 international organizations, over 10 multinational companies were also in the exhibition. The expo attracted a total of 1565 exhibitors, 2.5 million domestic traders, and more than 5,000 overseas traders. Visitor number notched up 325,000 people-times, of which over 50,000 are professional, and over 270,000 are public visitors.
AB Mauri participated in the expo under the identity of Xinjiang Mauri Food Co., Ltd., a local enterprise of Ili Prefecture. Our exhibition booth was located in food & agriculture area of hall 8 on the second floor. The booth was four times the size of previous scale in order to attract more merchants and consumers. Block trading site-signing and sale of consumer goods is a major feature of CAE Expo. On the first day of the expo, the company's quality exhibits and professional outlook of the staff gained approval of officials from Ili Prefecture and Huocheng County and the attention of many visitors. During the 5 days exhibition, our booth received a approximate of 4,000 visitors, sold/gave away nearly 5,000 packs of dry yeast, and achieved good promotion through onsite narration and leafleting. End-users from local Nang cake shop and bun shop in Urumqi, and traders from neighboring countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkey were also visiting. Local sales staff and Central Asia/Russia export manager got in touch with interested customers after the expo. With AB Mauri's growing influence and the development of Xinjiang's export business with neighboring regions, we're convinced that we will seize every opportunity to become a major yeast supplier to local quality bakery business as well as household consumption.
With the guidance of the headquarter and support of the local factory, through the joint effort of marketing, Xinjiang sales team and export manager, AB Mauri has made good use of the opportunity in CAE EXPO to boost local sales and export business .

The lake is more or less semi-circular or kidney in shape for the most part and lined with various ores and broken up by spires of rock. It is known to be a favorite point of infiltration for Forgotten Beasts via the wells used to access it. Somewhwere along its shores is a small artificial tunnel/stairwell that leads to the Gorlak Caves.
Flora and FaunaEdit
Strangely it is typically devoid of any sort of wildlife most of the time, with even the common Pond Grabber being scarce, and while cave fish and lobsters are common sights, they seem wise to the tricks of fisherdwarves and thus are never bothered. Its shores play host mostly to fungiwoods and bloodthorns with other tree fungi mixed in, and some larger specimens of the various trees can be seen growing out of the lake itself.

FirstNet News
Last week, FirstNet attended the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Winter Meeting in Washington, DC. There was robust discussion around the need for close collaboration between mayors and police chiefs.
Also last week, FirstNet staff presented to the Public Safety Committee of the California League of Cities. Discussions focused on rural coverage, technology, and deployment.
FirstNet also attended the Fire Rescue East conference in Daytona Beach, Florida last week, staffing a booth and meeting with EMS associations. Although most attendees indicated little prior knowledge of FirstNet, they were very interested in and pleased with the idea of the FirstNet Network.
Last week, FirstNet staff attended a listening session between tribal leaders and association executives from across the country and members of the Trump transition team, hosted by the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), in Arlington, Virginia. Infrastructure and broadband deployment were among Indian Country's top priorities. The staff director of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs also presented at the session.
FirstNet staff also presented to the members of the White House Council on Native American Affairs' Public Safety Subgroup, hosted by the Department of Justice Office of Tribal Justice (OTJ). A follow-up briefing on public safety data sharing via OTJ's Tribal Access Program (TAP) and FirstNet was requested and is being scheduled.
FirstNet provided an overview and update at a Southern California Tribal Chairmen's Association meeting last week. FirstNet staff discussed how FirstNet services would complement other tools and resources already used by tribal public safety in Southern California, as well as the State Plan process. PSAC Tribal Working Group (TWG) delegate Bob Clark discussed the importance of sharing information about each tribe's public safety capabilities with FirstNet. Questions during the meeting focused on costs, rural coverage, the Governor's decision, and the use of existing infrastructure.
On Wednesday, FirstNet staff met with officials from the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Massachusetts SPOC team, providing updates on FirstNet's progress and tribal work. One specific point of interest was in-building coverage, particularly in casinos, where walls are built to block signals. On Thursday, FirstNet met with officials from the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) to learn about their communications needs. Discussion focused on the use of existing infrastructure, protection of tribal data, network maintenance, costs, the FirstNet timeline, and the role tribes will play in the draft State Plan review process.
This week, FirstNet will be participating in the National Association of EMS Physicians 2017 Expo in New Orleans, Louisiana; a meeting of the Northern California Tribal Chairmen's Association in Trinidad Rancheria; a National Public Safety Telecommunications Council teleconference; a FEMA Region X Regional Emergency Communications Coordination Working Group meeting in Salem, Oregon; the Wisconsin Working Together Conference in Milwaukee; a Southwest Border Communications Working Group meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico; a FEMA Region I RECCWG meeting in Maynard, Massachusetts; and a meeting of the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Council of the State of Maryland.
Each January, February, and March, professional and trade associations congregate in Washington, DC to meet with the Administration and Congress. They typically hold conferences and conduct individual meetings during their time in DC. Over the next two months, FirstNet representatives will be attending and presenting at the National Sheriff's Association, the National Governor's Association, the Major Cities Chiefs Association, and the National Association of Counties, which will include state executives from many states and territories. FirstNet will continue to share any information that will be beneficial to our work together this year.

NASCIO 1/18: NASCIO Releases Federal Advocacy Priorities: Highlights Need for Strong Intergovernmental Partnership
FirstNet appears again as an advocacy priority in 2017 because this year, governors will be making the decision to opt-in or opt-out of the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network. Many state CIOs serve as FirstNet's Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for the state and all state CIOs serve as a trusted technology and business advisor to their governors. Thus, it is important that FirstNet communicate regularly with states as final state plans are delivered and acted upon.
Web and Social Media
FirstNet's social media presence grew at the normal rate this week. Twitter gained 28 new followers, now at 4,883. Facebook has 646 followers. LinkedIn now has 1,825 followers. YouTube has 375 subscribers.

Barriers to the diffusion of salary information have implications for a wide range of labor market phenomena. This study of employees of a real organization shows that individuals significantly misinterpret their peers' salaries, partly due to pervasive preferences for concealing own salary, and a potentially strategic decision of high earners to withhold their personal information.

The Greek Goddess would like to hear your thoughts on the salad dressing and marinade. Please send an email to email@example.com
From Vinny. age 14
This has to be the best dressing I have ever had. Thank you for creating it. I will most definitely buy it when I run out every time.
From Chef Guy Mitchell, Guest White House Chef
I could not wait to use it. I prepared a salad for dinner this evening and my wife and I used the dressing. We both loved it!! So for the record, I will highly recommend using this product at home and while traveling on the road. I give it a five star rating.
From Roman F. - I'm now a convert to Greek Goddess salad dressing! Wonderful with fresh bread as a dipping sauce. Great marinade for fresh vegetables for the grill. I also use it to marinate lamb, chicken, and fish, add a little kick to my sandwiches, or I'll drizzle some over a baked potato. From Nancy Rizzo, Life & Wellness Coach, Smart & Simple WellnessI not only love Greek Goddess dressing on salads and for marinating, I love her ingredients list of only whole foods. Awesome!
From Renee S. - Bought a bottle of your Greek Goddess dressing and it's absolutely DELISH!
From Eric S. (age 10) -The best ever!
From Marlene - Best dressing I ever had!
From Savena - Savena adds zest to freshly steamed vegetables - "Saturday night I had a party and my mother steamed a beautiful tray of vegetables for 40 people. She asked me to add some olive oil, but I said - I have something better!!! I put the "Greek Goddess" dressing on the vegetables and put in oven to re-heat and everyone said the vegetables were great!!!"
From Elia - I followed the advice of the "Greek Goddess" and used it on home made subs. I took Costanzo's sub rolls, pre-heated oven to 325 - poured the dressing into a bowl and spooned it over the sub roll and put into the oven to toast; I had red peppers marinated in the dressing and turkey with lettuce and tomato - this was approved by the King of Greek's !!! Who has - authenticated this product :-)
From Dave E. - I marinated my venison roast in the Greek Goddess Salad Dressing overnight and did the crock pot adventure - yes venison. Guess what? Didn't even need a knife... Outstanding taste!!
From Vic L. - Just had a salad with your dressing OUTSTANDING!
From Jaimie M. - I bought a bottle of dressing from you yesterday at the Lexington Co-op. As you suggested, I marinated chicken breast in the dressing and cooked it up on the grill - we had it with pita bread and salad (also topped with your dressing). I just had to tell you, it was out of this world. My entire family (including two young and sometimes picky children) absolutely loved it and can't wait to have it again!
From Jen - Yesterday morning I took some zucchini chunks and poured your dressing over them and let them sit all day. I flipped the container a few times during the day. Then I grilled them. OMG!!! They were so good. Eric and I loved them.
From Mary M. - I brought one bottle in from my car today, thinking I would just have my friends "taste test" it before bringing more in (and also remembering that my 3 sisters will want to try some). I sent them an email and told them that I had it and that they could try it on their salads today so not for them to get any dressing in the caf. Well, it was a HUGE hit and one girl even used some to dip her turkey in it!
From Barbara F. - Had dinner at Bonnie M's Sunday and she had your dressing there and I loved it. I went to the Derby Deli and bought two bottles. Congrats on a great product!
From Jody B. - When you are diet conscious, it adds alot of zest to your foods. Two tablespoons goes a long way when you want to add flavor without the calories.
From Lynne F. - I bought it last week and used 1/3 of a bottle for fajita seasoning on chicken strips, green pepper, and onions, wrapped in a tortilla. Everybody loved it!

We want to demonstrate that we are making a difference, both socially and economically. As part of Jigsaw Group Group, there are a number of ways we do this:
Support Services
- In 2012/13, our teams worked with 46 ex-offenders and successfully helped a number of them to get jobs, get help with their emotional distress and get help with their substance misuse.
- This work is generating savings worth £756,550 for the Council and other partners.
Great Opportunities
- In 2012/13, Jigsaw Group invested £61,660 in our 'Great Opportunities' programme.
- We helped 80 local people to get jobs – and 135 more to take part in courses and volunteering.
- In addition to the social and emotional benefits of this work, Great Opportunities has generated savings worth over £709,200 for our local and national partners.
Money Care
- In 2012/13 we invested £132,369 in our Money Care Team, who provide advice on welfare benefits and dealing with debt.
Over the year, this team:
– Helped 332 clients claim over £941,867 in welfare benefits (an average of over £2,836 per customer).
– Worked with 343 clients to get debts written off to the value of over £1,260,830.
Building Company
- In the last financial year our Building Company spent £9.8m on materials.
- We were able to complete 99.58% of repairs on the first visit, saving us time and money and providing a great customer experience.

Day 102: Chengdu to Wanzhou – Wed 5 Jun 2013
Day spoiled early by argument with hotel over "self-serving laundry" charges- Y50 per day! Had inedible breakfast - choice of dark, medium or light noodles with indeterminate "stuff"... or leathery fried eggs (to eat with chopsticks had to pick up whole egg and nibble inwards), washing down with insipid green tea... City Inn not recommended! Spirits rose once on the road again with clean bedding, towels and clothing, a full fridge, and rested bodies. Departed in smog and light rain (we reckoned heavy rain couldn't get through pollution layer!) Chinese drivers drive with hazard lights on in rain, most off-putting when trying to spot real hazards. Aiming for close to 400km along highway today. Met Jon and Jude along highway - they'd run into the HR manager of the panda base who ended up giving them free TShirts (jealous!) Rain abated, drive was uneventful. Had soup and crackers for lunch at road stop.
Just when we thought pollution fog might be lifting, we hit another major city, and visibility shortened once again. Passed monstrously overloaded truck. Drove through series of tunnels, longer ones full of monoxide fumes. It was actually raining IN the 5km tunnel (scary...)
Covered 475kms today - long day in saddle but good to knock over so many on the highway to our next attraction. Without the smog it would have been a pretty drive with tall white buildings on hillsides among deep green fir trees, brooks and fields below. Pulled into an amazing rest area for campsite, in addition to usual toilets and restaurant had free shower (once passport registered that is), outdoor gym, indoor lounge with free wifi and electronic charge stations. We weren't permitted to park in concreted area at rear; it became clear why when townswomen turned up for 2hrs of nonstop outdoor aerobics dancing. Jude joined them enthusiastically whilst rest cooked, showered, wrote up journals and edited photos (with snoopy attendant looking closely over our shoulders whilst eating noodles, belching, hawking and farting...) (we may have been better off paying!) We had good reception for State of Origin (but bah humbug - a loss for the Maroons…)

Scripture: Romans 12:19-20
"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary:"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
Wondering why sometimes it looks as if God is absent during some moments in our lives?
Most often we become so busy doing things we are not even supposed to be doing and then go back to the Father asking why He has left us in this world to suffer alone.
The issue here is that, we have left nothing for God to do, we play the roles of God and man in all the scenes of the movie called life!
How then can God defend us, if we are already defending ourselves? and how should He fight for us when we've already jumped onto the battle field fighting.
My dear, quit playing God and ask Him to assume His position in your life.
Worry about little things like finding a spoon to eat the food he sets before you and smiling all the time… And leave what is meant for God for Him alone. He is the deal breaker, the problem solver and the way maker not you!
If someone does evil towards you, it is not yours to make him pay, vengeance is the lord's allow Him by giving Him room to act. What is yours to do is to love, to love beyond understanding.
Yes! The kind of love that pays evil with good.
Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he's thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness.
Maybe you are wondering how this is possible in such a perverse world but don't worry, with God all things are possible and He has made His grace to abound even more in these times
So don't let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
Father Lord, thank you for my life today, I plead for forgiveness of sin Lord even as I forgive those who sin against me. Take absolute charge of my life, I'm fighting no More because it isn't for me to fight nor take revenge. I put I full trust in you and I know you will deal with all issues in my life, in Jesus' Mighty name have I prayed with thanksgiving, amen.

At the beginning of the month I got to go to Las Vegas for a whole week with my mom, sister, her BFF Jenny and mother-in-law Judy. The trip was to celebrate both Mom and Judy's retirement. We stayed at the Paris Hotel/ Casino and kept hoping that we would run into Bethany who was in real Paris at the same time. We never did.
One of our favorite daily events was the happy hour drink specials at the Sugar Factory (which is in the Paris Hotel.) Normally the drinks were $15 each but for happy hour it was buy 1 get 1 free. So we would go and have one of the best drinks I have ever had.
We also did 2 spa days, the first one was just OK we got pedicures at The Flamingo. Their "spa" area was really not up to our Vegas expectations with only 1 Jacuzzi and just a steam room and sauna. Pretty much the same as any gym.
But our visit to the Qua bath and spa at Caesars Palace was AMAZING!
Roman Baths
The baths consist of three distinct pools, varying in temperature and size. Your experience begins in the largest of the pools, the Tepidarium, with warm mineral-enriched waters to help restore natural elements of your body's skin. You can then alternate between two smaller pools, the Caldarium and the Frigidarium. The hot waters of the Caldarium ease daily tension and soothe tired muscles, while a quick plunge into the cold waters of the Frigidarium invigorates your body. Water massages, Thermal Stone Deep Relaxation Chaises and exhilarating overhead rain showers complete this spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience.
Laconium Room
Inspired by the ancient Roman steam baths, the Laconium sauna uses heat to warm your body from the inside out, keeping it warm and loose between treatments.
Arctic Ice Room
Surrounded by a beautiful dome ceiling and glass tiled walls, the Arctic Ice Room is a place to unwind. Heated floors and benches comfort you in the crisp 55 degree room as falling snow relieves your stress.
Here is the entrance to the spa:
We all had the Vichy Shower treatment which is like a massage and shower combined all into one. It was fabulous. We spent several hours relaxing in the spa area and getting our treatments. It was a great way to quiet the noise of Vegas.
(pic. from web site)
We did lots of walking and exploring (and gambling, of course.) This is part of The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens' pathway at The Bellagio.
Here's the view looking down on the Paris casino. Shauna and I were in line to go to the top of the Eiffel tower.
The Vegas Eiffel Tower is 1/2 the size of the original, I was scared enough going up this one I should be completely terrified if I ever make it to the top of the real one.
We got to watch the Bellagio water show from the Eiffel tower.
And here's the Vegas strip at night from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
We also visited the Pawn shop where Pawn Stars is filmed. So much smaller than it looks on TV. Notice the line to get in. Although none of the cast seems to work there during regular hours, people come hoping to see them.
One of mom's favorite machines, Sex in the City. It was like her crack we had to pull her away from it constantly. We did find a group of 4 machines tucked away so Shauna, Mom, Jenny and I all played together and we all won. That was a good pod of machines!
We also had high tea at the Petrossian Bar in the Bellagio.
Ensconced in brocade sofas or velvet high-back chairs, you can sip from a variety of teas while nibbling on open-faced English sandwiches, pastries and scones with Devonshire cream and Baxters preserves.
Not only were the dessert divine but I got an awesome picture of them!
It was a wonderful all girls trip to Vegas. The last time we all went was, I think, 5 years ago. I guess that means we'll all have to head back in another 5 years!
And in case you were wondering, No I didn't win anything. As a matter of fact I lost all the money I brought. But it was a great vacation none the less!

The BIG day finally arrived last week.
I took half day leave to accompany my princess on her first day of school. Must witness such a big milestone in her life!
When we arrived at her her school, it was rather chaotic - parents looking for classrooms /asking lots of questions/ changing school uniform sizes/settling down their kids etc etc, some kids screaming and crying away, some kids with pee pee incidents, lots of people around, teachers trying to settle down the kids, assistants busy explaining the school pickup procedure etc etc.
I guess pretty normal for a first day of school.
I brought Elyssa to her classroom and gave her some blocks to play with. Settled some admin stuff with the teacher, gave her a hug, said my goodbyes and off I went!
(ok, I admit - I hung outside the classroom and peered through the windows for quite a while before I finally went home).
As expected, no tears, no fuss and no drama from my brave little girl.
Playing blocks in her class
I picked her up after an hour plus (short class due to orientation) and she proudly told me she didn't cry at all and that she liked her new school.
Yay!!! Way to go Elyssa. We are so proud of you!

Five major Chinese bitcoin exchanges issued a joint statement Tuesday, acknowledging the problems in the development of the virtual currency in the country and pledging to curb leveraged transactions in order to rein in speculators.
The exchanges have called for self-discipline among all industry players to address the problems in the market that include volatile bitcoin prices and lack of risk awareness among investors. Meanwhile, they vowed to unify the transaction fees involved in trading the digital currency.
The five exchanges are BTC China, OKCoin, Huobi, BtcTrade and CHBTC, with the first three accounting for 60-70 percent of transactions worldwide, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reported Wednesday.
OKCoin and Huobi have previously allowed bitcoin players to secure assets on their platforms to other players or trading platforms to borrow funds or bitcoins, the paper said, citing the online news portal of Caixin.
In the statement Tuesday, the exchanges said new leveraging transactions will be halted on May 10, and that such trading will cease totally when all outstanding amounts are cleared.
Bitcoin price has been hovering at 2,600 yuan (US$417.53) since the end of April. There had been talk that the Chinese central bank held a meeting with commercial banks and third-party payment agencies late last month to discuss measures to monitor the risks.

Growing up watching Muhammad Ali in the prime of his boxing career was a real treat. I wasn't such a big fan of boxing – two people beating the heck out of each other – I didn't get it. But Ali was an entertainer.
Besides his famous line that titles this blog, Ali came up with the numerous gems over the years. Some 50 years ago, prior to his championship fight with Sonny Liston, he declared "The crowd did not dream when they laid down their money / that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny". The humble "I am the greatest". Or how about this nugget: "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.". The charisma – the confidence – the determination he showed can all be seen in just the first few minutes of a youtube clip of Ali during training (click here).
Today, of course, Ali is fighting a different kind of fight. As most know, he has Parkinson's and is in a very advanced state of the disease. It's hard to watch him these days and compare him with his days as Cassius Clay. Yet, in a very telling way, Ali's present state is a beacon of sorts for those with PD. As the disease progresses, it slowly, and sometimes not so slowly, robs us of the life we have known. We may not all be accomplished athletes or famous celebrities like Michael J Fox, but we all get to experience loss to an equally great degree.
Recently, i've noted one loss that had me thinking of Ali. As I said before, I've never really been that into boxing. I've never trained in a gym. I once was involved in a high school fight where, taking one blow to the head, I was knocked out cold. So much for a career in one-on-one fist fighting! I don't even remember who my sparing partner was on that fateful day but, were we to meet again, he would have an even easier go with me. I have been noticing the gradual loss of strength in my hands. I have difficulty fastening buttons or clips. I can't scrub dishes. I can't apply enough pressure to any tools that require this. Make a fist? Deliver a striking blow? Forget about it.
Although, I hasten to add, I may not be without hope forever. There's a group that's active in the US and I understand that they are rumoured to be setting up a chapter in Toronto. It's called "Rock Steady" and it's a boxing club for people with Parkinson's. While the thought of jumping into the ring only to get clocked ( a la high school) doesn't exactly thrill me, I am attracted to the exercise benefits of the sport as well as the potential hand strengthening. Not sure about the look of me in Everlast boxing shorts. Float like a butterfly? Sting like a bee? What? Are you looking at me??
