Stepson With Personality Disorder

My youngest stepson will be 9 years old next month. My husband and I have been married for 5 years and he has had custody for 6 six years. The separated when the youngest was a year old. The birth mother is very unstable and exhibits many signs of several personality disorders. She has never been a positive influence in my stepson’s lives and she has not seen or spoken to them in over two years. He is starting to show signs of a personality disorder. Is that possible at his age? Are there resources I can research to find out more. I would like to identify this as a problem early on and help him adapt if possible. I am so worried about him.

A good starting place resource to look at when wanting to learn more about personality and child disorders is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, currently in its fourth (revised) edition. A copy is probably available at your local library. The DSM (the book containing definitions of mental illnesses and syndromes) is a political document as much as it is anything else. The book’s aim is to classify disorders based on their scientific distinctiveness rather than on theoretical considerations. While it does a good job meeting this goal with some families of diagnoses, it does rather poorly in other areas, one of which is the personality disorders which are as a group a typology of inflexible social and emotional adaptations. Personality disorders were originally organized into their present form for political and theoretical reasons – they are a remnant from a time when psychoanalysis ruled the medical establishment and evidenced based science was not considered as important. This isn’t to say that there is nothing to the idea of personality disorders; quite the contrary there is a lot of evidence supporting the validity of some of these diagnoses. It is the case however, that some of the classifications of personality disorder have held up better than others to the light of scientific scrutiny.

Personality disorder diagnoses proper are not generally applied to children. However, there are several childhood disorders, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, that are related to adult personality disorders (e.g., Antisocial Personality Disorder) and children can certainly show a range of personality-disorder-like behaviors too. Some of the children that display personality disorder symptoms and behaviors will grow up to merit a personality disorder diagnosis.

All of this is background. If your son (step or not) is having difficulty adjusting socially, it is time for your family to visit with a child psychologist. Through play therapy and hopefully also parent training, a child psychologist can help your son to learn new more flexible and effective ways of coping with his environment and can additionally help you to learn how to interact with your son so as to best help him get past his problem behavior.

Enzo Sciotti (1944-2021)

12th April 2021

The poster artist who introduced Italian cinema-goers to 007 has died aged 76

MI6 logo By MI6 Staff
Share The Story

Italian poster artist Enzo Sciotti, who created over 3,000 movie posters over six decades, has died at the age of 76.

Scotti was born in Rome, Italy, on September 24, 1944, to a family of painters. Due to his natural ability for drawing and his passion for cinema, at the age of 16, he found a job as an artist at a graphics studio producing movie posters in Rome. After 15 years, Sciotti opened his own studio in Rome. He is best known for his work on horror movies such as The Beyond, Demons, The Blood of Heroes, and several other Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento, and Lamberto Bava films.

When James Bond was making his big-screen debut back in 1962, it was Sciotti who provided the artwork for the Italian poster campaign. This poster art was also used on the Italian 'fotobusta' front of house cards. It has also been featured in several official 007 books but never credited to him.

Sciotti also returned to the Bond series to create some artwork for Roger Moore's 1979 adventure 'Moonraker'.

Working up until his final days managing his studio, Enzo Sciotti died on April 11th, 2021 in Italy at the age of 76.

Surgical Enhancements

Improved Follicle Survival for Best Results.

Donor follicles, once harvested, must be maintained in a viable state until they can be re-implanted in the recipient area; and the entire process (at times involving up to 2,500 follicles) must take place within hours. The standard solution which has been used to hold follicular grafts during surgery is normal saline. Although this method has been effective, we now utilize a scientifically advanced product called Hypothermosol which is similar to the solutions that are used to preserve organs for transplantation and is designed for cell and tissue preservation.

In our experience, the use of Hypothermosol has increased the percentage of follicle growth while at the same time, producing earlier growth than what we were getting with standard methods.

Hypothermosol contains energy sources, osmotic stabilizers and free oxygen radical scavengers and mimics the intracellular environment therefore minimizing stress injury that follicles endure during the “out-of-body-time” involved in the transplant process.

Our own published research (see figure on right) shows that donor follicles kept in Hypothermosol develop protection from cell death which is not seen in follicles kept in normal saline. In addition to hypothermosol we add ATP, which is natures energy source to further boost follicle survival.

PRP is prepared by drawing the patient’s own blood at the time of the transplant procedure. It concentrates platelets which have growth and healing factors. These factors will enhance healing and aid hair growth. Studies have shown that PRP decreases redness and crusting following transplantation and improves the percentage of growth of transplanted follicles.

We recommend PRP for all procedures but particularly for patients who have had previous transplants.

Although the vast majority of our patients experience very little discomfort and require pain medication only during the first 24 hours post-op, we are always looking to improve the patient experience.

Exparel is a new long-lasting local anesthetic composed of liposomal bupivacaine, which acts in a timed-release manner to control donor area pain for up to 48 hours.

We have developed a technique utilizing non-invasive ultrasound techniques to direct where the Exparel is administered and most patients experience minimal post-operative pain for up to 48 hours.

In case your signage employments thicker materials such as froth center or folded plastic Coreplast sheets, at that point long neck self-piercing grommets are prescribed, guaranteeing a more prominent neck length beneath the spine to oblige the thicker fabric.

If your sign specifications and design include both thick and thin materials, both standard and long neck brass self-piercing grommet and washer sets may be required for the best outcome.

Our solid commercial-grade sheet metal grommets give gap support to circle cables, ropes or tie-downs conjointly keep your shade extend looking proficient. Micron’s sheet metal grommets can be utilized traded with neck washers to secure both commercial and private

It is vital to keep in mind that the thickness of the fabric is an critical thought when acquiring grommets and washers for your signage. In the event that you employ long neck grommets on more slender materials like pennants, the neck would be as well long to appropriately secure the washer affixing the set in put. The conclusion item would have a grommet that turns. For a long-lasting, secure sign, selecting the right grommet measure is mission basic

Everything The Perfect Quinceañera Venue Should Have

A quinceañera is a very special celebration for your daughter and one that she has likely been looking forward to for quite some time. Because of this, it’s critical that you choose the right quinceañera venues in Orange County or banquet halls Orange County, CA, so that she enjoys her big day.

Quinceañeras require meticulous planning and the selection of the appropriate venue to ensure the party goes as smoothly as possible. If you’re having trouble finding the perfect quinceañera for your daughter’s special day, we’ve compiled a brief list of everything that you should look for in a quinceañera venue.

Continue reading below to discover what five things you should look for in a quinceañera venue and how Mile Square Golf Course can help make your daughter’s quinceañera spectacular.

5 Things the Perfect Quinceañera Venue Should Have

Do you have a quinceañera coming up? If that's the case, you might want to put together a checklist of things that the quinceañera venue should have before making a final decision.

Here are five things your quinceañera venue should have the ensure your daughter’s party is as special as she is:

Sufficient Space

You'll need a lot of space for all of your friends and family that want to celebrate with you for a successful quinceañera. Most traditional quinceañeras also include dancing, which includes the traditional first father/daughter dance, but you’ll need a little extra area in your event area to handle all of the festivities while still maintaining safe separation.

Smaller locations are less expensive, but they are less flexible for the area that your perfect quince requires. Your daughter is bound to have a group of friends that she'd like to invite to her party, and it’s important to remember that her friend's parents may also want to attend with their children to honor your daughter's big day.

Many quinceañeras feature between 100 and 200 guests on average. As a result, the ideal quinceañera venue should be large enough to accommodate all of the attendees and leave enough room for entertainment, catering, and other activities that progress throughout the party.

In-House Catering

Because quinceañeras usually have a high number of guests, it's a good idea to choose a venue with an in-house catering team. Quinceañera venues with excellent in-house catering services will provide you with a variety of cuisine alternatives for your guests. The in-house catering service will not only provide the freshest food possible but might also provide you with unique menus for guests with specific food allergies.

Furthermore, keep in mind that your daughter's quinceañera celebration will have a lot of adult visitors, so having cocktails nearby is a good idea.

A Big Dance Floor

Dancing is a vital aspect of every quinceañera, which means having a good-sized dance floor is also essential. Not only are the guests encouraged to dance, but the birthday girl will also perform a number of choreographed dances.

Without dancing, your daughter's quinceañera will be incomplete. The father-daughter dance is one of the primary highlights of a quinceañera party that will linger in your daughter's mind forever; therefore, making sure there is enough space for dancing is crucial.

Dancing is frequent at a quinceañera party, so make sure there's enough room for everyone. All of the fathers present, as well as the moms, aunts, uncles, and close friends, will want to take advantage of this particular opportunity to dance with their daughters.

A Quality Sound/Video System

Just as it is for a dance floor, a high-quality sound system is also vital for any quinceañera. This is due to the fact that music plays an important role at every quinceañera.

Nothing kills a party like a lousy sound system, as we all know. Music that fades in and out, is too low or too loud, or just does not function will not suffice, but a state-of-the-art sound system will play music loudly, clearly, and perfectly in a truly great quinceañera banquet hall.

Whether you hire a professional DJ or invite a real band to perform at your daughter’s quinceañera, make sure your venue's sound system is up to date and ready to party before you arrive.

Convenient Parking and Special Transportation Options

Lastly, it’s no fun parking down the street and walking a long distance in fancy attire, which is why complimentary on-site parking and special transportation options are other vital details to consider. Additionally, ample and friendly parking makes preparations and arrival much easier for older guests, as well as caterers and other professional services.

Furthermore, you want your daughter to arrive at the venue in elegance on her special day so that she will remember her 15th birthday party fondly throughout her adult life. You might also want to consider choosing a quinceañera that will be able to accommodate luxury vehicles for your daughter’s arrival.

While this may seem like a simple pleasure, it will leave a lasting impression on your daughter, so quinceañera venues with luxury transportation options should be another priority on your list.

Schedule Your Quinceañera with Mile Square Golf Course

Finding the right venue for your daughter's quinceañera is a critical first step in the planning process. The best quinceañera venues will offer all the things mentioned above, ensuring that your daughter has the best quinceañera possible.

Though finding the right quinceañera venue might be difficult, Mile Square Golf Course wants to help make things easier.

Our event planning staff at Mile Square Golf Course thoroughly considers every event with the utmost attention for any memorable occasion. We remain enthusiastic about what we do, and our number one priority is to surpass your expectations and allow you to relax and enjoy your big event.

New Employee Orientation - Mindtickle

New employee orientation best practices are fundamental to the success of any new hire orientation and it begins with measurement.

Now that your organization has a new employee orientation program, it is time to determine if it is a success.  In order to determine if it is a success or not, it is important to ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Did you measure the outcomes?
  2. What outcomes should you measure?
  3. How did you measure?

Let’s address each of these million dollar questions.

It is important to start with the BIG picture. Measure those aspects that directly contribute to your business goals. Establish a baseline, which is more or less similar for most organizations – rate of employee turnover or retention, time to productivity, and employee satisfaction.

Once the areas to be measured are identified, integrate corresponding methods for periodic assessments. The exact metrics and methods depend on your company size, employee demographics, and business objectives, but it is most important to establish upfront what needs to be measured, why, and when.

Numbers say it all – Quantitative Metrics

Addressing employee turnover and employee productivity are key when following new employee orientation best practices.

Headache of the Modern business – Employee Turnover

This critical figure helps you identify the success of an onboarding program as it is directly tied to the business goals of the organization. Organizations can compare employee turnover figures before and after the inclusion of a new hire orientation program.

Productivity metrics associated with business and support functions could help determine the business contribution of new hires, and thus the effectiveness of a new hire orientation program. In the absence of past organizational data, Michael Watkins’ average of 6.2 months can be used as a break-even point for new hires.

Following new employee orientation best practices, organizations would do well to automate measurements using onboarding software. Usually, SaaS-based, these onboarding software help capture data pertaining to performance, onboarding checklists, training schedules, and milestones.

The Human Element – Qualitative Data

Apart from the above specific data points, there is a need to capture qualitative attributes in relation to the new hires. An organization could see increased retention rates, but it may be worthwhile to see if that was accompanied with enthusiasm and ownership, not just of the new hires, but also of all stakeholders.

Onboarding managers need to conduct periodic assessments to assess goals, both with respect to the new employee and the employer. Such periodic assessments could cover the following:

New Employee Engagement – How Engaged is the New Hire?

The answer to this question clearly indicates the effectiveness and success of your new hire onboarding program. But, how do you actually measure if an employee is engaged enough?

a) Pre-Onboarding / First Few Weeks

Assess the needs and wants of the new hire early, as early as the pre-onboarding phase or the first week of joining. This information can be obtained by simply asking a few questions to the new hire and also consulting the hiring manager. It is critical to plan the coming months of the new hire.

b) The First 30 to 90 Days and beyond

Regular interviews with the new hire covering the following topics would give a sense of engagement levels.

  • Company culture and job
  • Role in the team
  • Challenges
  • Alignment with company goals

The timeline of these interviews will depend on the needs of organization.

Take Continuous Feedback from New Hires

Feedback sessions are important for mid-course corrections. This may also be a good opportunity to put forward the company’s expectations from the new hire, instead of waiting for the end of the probation period.

Exclusive Performance Appraisal Process for New Hires

Organizations should complement a formal new employee orientation program with a corresponding performance appraisal process that is exclusive for new hires. In addition to assessing the new hire directly, this appraisal should obtain feedback from the new hire’s peers, subordinates, manager, and the human resources team.

This would ensure that the organization goals in respect to the new hires are achieved. An exclusive new hire appraisal process would increase the chances of bringing out the effectiveness of the new employee orientation program.

Quantitative and qualitative measurements are both important in determining the effectiveness of a new employee orientation program. It is vital that the two sets of measurements corroborate each other. Positive correlation between the two would increase your confidence levels in the measurement process, whereas a negative correlation would mean going back to the drawing board.

Leave us a comment and tell us all about your organization’s experience in measuring the implementation of new employee orientation best practices!

Minnesota copper project in limbo as officials launch permits review

The underground copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals mining project is located in northeast Minnesota. (Image courtesy of Twin Metals.)

The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has agreed to reconsider its decision to renew 13 prospecting permits in Minnesota, which could have allowed Antofagasta’s Twin Metals to expand its proposed copper-nickel mine at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The move by the federal agency, part of the US Department of the Interior, comes in response to a lawsuit filed last year by conservation groups. They challenged a four-year extension of the permits, granted by former President Donald Trump.

“After the horrendous years of the Trump administration, federal officials now appear focused on rational, science-based decision making,” Marc Fink, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement. “A thorough scientific analysis of these permits and Twin Metals’ related proposals will show that a massive copper-sulfide mine just upstream from the spectacular Boundary Waters Wilderness is simply too great a risk.”

The US Bureau of Land Management’s move comes in response to a lawsuit filed last year by conservation groups

Twin Metals holds a number of federal, state, and private mineral leases, as well as a number of prospecting permits on federal land in northeastern Minnesota. The ones under revision are those that allow the company to perform exploratory work to determine the existence of a valuable mineral deposit, the company said in an emailed statement.

The company noted that the 13 prospecting permits referred to in the recent agreement are not part of its mine plan, which is also currently under review by state and federal regulators.

Northeastern Minnesota holds vast, untapped reserves of copper and nickel, but they’re bound up in sulfide minerals that can leach sulfuric acid and other pollutants if exposed to air and water. Experts say the pristine lakes and streams of the Boundary Waters have little capacity for neutralizing them.

Twin Metals and its supporters, including several Minnesota labor unions, have said the $1.7 billion project can be constructed safely and in a way that boosts the region’s economy.

If built, the mine would be a major supplier of copper, nickel, cobalt and platinum group metals to the US, at a time when President Joe Biden aims to promote the making of electric vehicles (EVs), which use twice as much copper as those with internal combustion engines.

It would also create 700 jobs and employ 1,400 contractors once operational.

Representatives for Twin Metals have said the company expects the regulatory review process “to remain fair and based on science and law in the years ahead.”

Representative Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat, introduced a bill last month that would ban mining in the region. Biden only has the power to block resource extraction in the area for 20 years, though Congress can permanently block it.

In March, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack moved to temporarily block another controversial copper mine, Rio Tinto’s Resolution Copper project in Arizona.

Roasted Red Pepper Dip Recipe

By now, we all know how to make hummus or have at least heard of it. Today, I want to tell you about another Middle Eastern dip that’s often overlooked because it’s not as mainstream as hummus.

Muhammara translates to “roasted red pepper and nut dip,” and is absolutely delicious! This is a roasted red pepper dip mixed with nuts (usually walnuts), spices, a bit of lemon juice and voila! You have a bold yet tangy dip. The only unusual ingredient you need very little of for this dish is pomegranate molasses, which can be bought online or at any Middle Eastern grocery store.

Instead of walnuts, I used dry roasted almonds. If you decide to use walnuts instead, then place 1 cup on a baking sheet and roast in a 350° for 8 minutes. Let cool, then grind. Serve this dip with chips, pita bread or with roasted salmon. My favorite combination is the Muhammara with Baba Ganosh in homemade pita bread with feta and cucumbers.

  • 3 red peppers

  • 1/2 onion, peeled

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoon tomato paste

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 3/4 cup dry roasted almonds, ground

  • Salt and pepper

Yields: serving for 6

Prep Time: 40 minutes

Cook Time: 45- 50 minutes

  1. Preheat oven to 450°f.

  2. On a baking sheet, place the peppers and roast for 40 minutes.

  3. Remove from oven, transfer to a bowl and cover with a plate. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove from the bowl, discard the skin and seeds. Add to a food processor.

  4. In a bowl, place the peeled onion with garlic. Add the oil and mix to coat. Place the mixture on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

  5. Once the onion is soft, place in the food processor with the peppers.

  6. Add the tomato paste, lemon juice and cumin. Pulse a few times to combine.

  7. Add the mixture to a bowl with the ground almonds and mix.

  8. Season to taste.

Schedule dictates Peacock's move to 'pen

Right-hander expected back in rotation vs. Twins on April 23

April 8th, 2019

HOUSTON -- With three off-days coming in an eight-day span beginning on Thursday, the Astros will move right-hander to the bullpen and employ four starters for the next two weeks. Manager AJ Hinch met with Peacock on Monday and told him to be ready to pitch in relief beginning with Wednesday’s series finale against the Yankees.

Peacock, who has bounced between the rotation and the bullpen for much of his career, threw five innings and received a no-decision in Sunday’s win over the A’s in his second start of the season. His presence will help ease the burden on the Astros’ seven-man bullpen.

“I’ve noticed a difference in the first 10 games to have a 12-man pitching staff versus a 13-man pitching staff,” Hinch said. “We’ve seen Josh James pitch a lot, we’ve seen Will [Harris] and [Hector] Rondon get up virtually every game. An extra arm down in the 'pen for this stretch will be nice.”

The Astros have typically carried 13 pitchers (eight relievers, five starters), but Hinch opted for an extra position player this season, partly because outfielders Tyler White and Tony Kemp are both out of options.

Hinch won’t use Peacock in back-to-back days and doesn’t consider Peacock a “long man,” even though he’s served as one in the past. The Astros will next need a fifth starter on April 23, against the Twins, at which point Peacock should be inserted back into the rotation. Hinch will make a determination about Peacock’s availability during the April 19-21 series at Texas.

“[Peacock is] obviously very accommodating and wanting to do it and very resilient to do it, so it’s good to have,” Hinch said.

Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Collin McHugh and Wade Miley will each start in two turns through the rotation before Peacock returns.

RITORNO AL BAROCCO: Lucio Fontana, Crocifisso, 1949

In occasion of the exhibition RITORNO AL BAROCCO. FONTANA, LEONCILLO, MELOTTI, curated by Andrea Bacchi, ML Fine Art is pleased to present this extraordinary Crocifisso relized by Lucio Fontana in 1949, one of the most significant works made by the artist in the critical years following his return to Italy from Argentina in 1947.

Fontana’s interest in religious subject may be traced to the beginning of his training at Accademia di Brera. There, under sculptor Adolfo Wildt, Fontana created a number of small ceramic works for MIlan’s Cimitero Monumentale. While this subject became less frequent in the 1930s, after his return to Milan Fontana reprised it with vigour.

It is likely that Crucifixions in particular engaged Fontana’s imagination not only for their inherent narrative drama, but also for their potential for spatial development, emphatically expressed by the vertical and horizontal axes of Christ’s limbs, echoed in the cross.

In the present Crucifixion Fontana elevates the dynamism of the Crucifixion’s vertical format to sensational effect, with Christ's body emerging forcefully from what appears to be a formless mass. This block of cold, glistening polychrome clay is dramatically contrasted by the white stylized Christ, defined by his sinuously contoured limbs, drooping head and loincloth fluttering in the wind.

Recall language filed against 3 Genesee County commissioners tossed out

Genesee County Elections Commission

Attorney Heather Burnash speaks before the Genesee County Election Commission at its Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021 special meeting in Genesee County Circuit Court.

FLINT, MI -- Recall language filed against three Genesee County commissioners was thrown out by the county’s election commission Tuesday morning.

The recall language against county commissioners Mark Young, Ellen Ellenburg and Gary Peppin was rejected by the election commission for not being clear and factual.

The Genesee County Election Commission appointed two new members -- Sheriff Chris Swanson and Chief Deputy Clerk Leslie Raleigh -- to replace Chief Probate Judge Jennie Barkey and Clerk-Register John Gleason for the Tuesday, Sept. 14 special meeting.

County Treasurer Deb Cherry remained on the commission and led the meeting as chair.

Recall language was filed against Young for not showing at a special meeting he called to discuss Medical Health Officer Pamela Hackert’s school mask mandate. The recall also stated that Young and his commission does not have a balanced budget.

Attorney Heather Burnash, who represented each of the county commissioners, argued the language was unclear because it did not specify which year’s budget was unbalanced.

Burnash also pointed out that Young’s absence at the meeting did not directly result in a lack of quorum.

The recall language filed against Ellenburg states that she is “silencing the voices of the 3rd district.”

Burnash argued on Ellenburg’s behalf, citing the multiple public meetings where dozens of public commenters spoke before Hackert and the county commission.

“At the Aug. 25 meeting minutes, there are five pages of public speakers,” Burnash said. “Eighty people from the public spoke at that meeting about whatever their opinion was. ... That in no way silences the voices of the citizens. They still have free speech.”

Recall language against Peppin cited the upcoming 2021-22 budget that has not yet been finalized, a lack of attendance at board meetings and his vote against a special meeting regarding the school mask mandate.

Burnash told the elections commission that Peppin was absent from multiple meetings while he was at Beaumont Hospital.

Since returning home, he has attended meetings virtually. Burnash also stated that Peppin’s vote against a special meeting, alone, wouldn’t have been enough to sway the decision of the board.

Cherry made the motions to reject each of the three recalls for being unclear.

Michigan election law states that “if any reason for the recall is not factual or of sufficient clarity, the entire recall petition shall be rejected.”

Cherry, Swanson and Raleigh all voted in favor of throwing each recall petition out.

It is unclear if new recall language against these three commissioners will be filed.

Have you ever been charitable in your MMO? Have you ever given something without any regard for anything in return? It could be as simple as giving some gold to a stranger playing a low-level character to get them started with some nice equipment from the auction house, or it could be donating your time in taking your character through a dungeon that you get nothing out of, just to help your friends fill out a group or get an achievement you already have.

I’ve done all of the above and more when I would play MMOs. I never really expect anything in return other than having a good time, and possibly some karma so that should I ever find myself in a situation where I could use some help from people who don’t need to give it I might find it a little easier.

I’ve been thinking about this because on November 2nd, I will be participating in Extra-Life, which is a 25 hour gaming marathon in support of the Children’s Miracle Network of hospitals. Gamers, celebrities, and professionals all across the world will be donating their time and pulling off a Jack Bauer-like effort of staying awake playing all sorts of games and asking friends, families, and followers to donate to their cause. One of the great things about the CMN is that we get to pick specifically which hospital in the network receives our donations. When I saw that my wife’s alumni, UC Davis had their children’s hospital on the list, I knew right away who should receive the money my team raises.

Myself and a couple other ex-Paragon studios friends will be playing Warhammer 40k starting at around 8am on Saturday, Nov. 2nd and going to 9am on Sunday. We’ve been preparing for this for a while, coming up with the scenario (which is morphing into several scenarios now). Our plan is to bring painted models to the table, from our armies of which we have several. I know there will be Ultramarines, Chaos Daemons, Chaos Marines, Tau, Eldar, and Tyranids for sure, but there will likely be appearances by Grey Knights, Imperial Guard, and others throughout the day. Hopefully the games will be as gorgeous to look at as they will be fun to play.

Twitch.tv and XSpilt are proud sponsors of Extra-Life this year, and so in honor of that, I will be livestreaming all 25 hours (hopefully) to my channel MMODesigner on Twitch.tv via XSplit. My plan is to have an “Action cam” pointed at the table as often as possible and a “Dice cam” pointed at a dice tray where we can make rolls for all to see. I warn you now that if you tune it there will be some salty language. Dice and probabilities usually evoke strong reactions out of people, and sometimes we just can’t help ourselves from letting loose a naughty word or two. We’ll also be chatting with people all day via the chat, assuming we have time to check the chat every once in a while.

If you would like to donate you can do so via my page here. If you would like to know more about Extra-life, or perhaps even participate yourself, you can find all the information you need at www.extra-life.org.

Times can be tough for everyone, and so money can be an issue. I understand. If you find yourself in this boat, maybe you can get into the mood with the spirit of giving. Log into your MMO and offer your services helping out other players expecting nothing in return. You’ll hopefully find that giving your time and effort to brighten someone’s day gives you a warm feeling and you can continue this feeling into the real world. The holidays usually bring out the charity in everyone, so there will be lots of opportunities to give. Stores and Boy Scouts will likely be collecting canned goods and groceries for local food banks, so you can easily make an effort there as well.

I’d love it if people could use the comments to post donation links for their favorite charities. It’s likely that there is a charity out there that you do have some connection to, and others might not know it exists. You can also share your stories of giving while playing MMOs. What you did without any expectation of anything in return. Of course, if you are participating in Extra-life as well, feel free to link your own donation page and post what hospital you are playing for!

Press renders of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 surface

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 scheduled for tomorrow, we have the first press renders which look to be the final images of the device.

According to press images of the alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the rumoured device with ultra-thin bezels is seen. Moreover, the device maintains a more rectangular shape with a 6 inch display panel. There seem to be a few changes to the S Pen stylus as well, pointing to some new kind of functionality.

While many have been waiting for the first word about the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, sources claim that the device could set you back by at least $900 in Russia where it would be released by end of September. However keeping in mind the general price differences, we can expect the device to be priced at around $700 globally, which would be like the initial pricing of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Interestingly, it is said that the price of the Samsung Galaxy S4 would be slashed after the launch.

Expected specs of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3:

  • 5.9 inch display
  • 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution
  • 2 GHz Samsung Exynos Octa-core processor
  • 3 GB RAM
  • 16 GB internal memory
  • 13.1 MP primary camera
  • 2.1 MP front facing camera
  • Google Android v4.3 Jelly Bean
  • 3450 mAh battery

Many couples start discussing everything from venues to caterers to bakers after their engagement, but they fail to discuss finances. Interestingly, money should be at the top of the list of things to discuss before getting married.

Unfortunately, finances are a main reason why many marriages head for divorce, which is why TV host Margaret Larson interviews Seattle divorce lawyer Molly B. Kenny about discussing money prior to the wedding. Approaching the subject of finances is never easy, but is best for couples to know what they are getting in to. Will there be a joint account or separate accounts? Who will pay the bills? Discussing questions like these and disclosing all assets and debts prior to a wedding will help couples increase their marriage success rate.

By outlining your financial plans prior to the wedding day, you can reduce your chances of divorce. If you need help writing a financial contract or you would like to have a prenup or postnuptial agreement drafted for your specific circumstances, a Washington divorce attorney at the Law Offices of Molly B. Kenny can help you. Call 425-460-0550 today or contact us online

Photo - Filming in the woods

On the day we shot this part of the film there was a problem with food for the actors and crew. It was terrible because the caterers mucked things up and so there wasn’t any lunch and everyone was ravenous. A film crew really needs fuel. Luckily eventually pizza was ordered. And a new caterer employed. After that the food was great!

When a company is also a social gamechanger

This global branding project had a detail that made it remarkably different from any other strategy and branding commission we had ever had. It was a coding and tech company, yes, but based in Saudi Arabia, a country with a very unique mindset and social rules to follow in which Hads, a forward thinking company, wanted to mean something as well as do something. They were there to create a project that was different and groundbreaking. We couldn’t be happier that they thought of us to help them build the idea.

We worked on the brand ignition, the positioning, the values and the architecture. Their mindset in the coding world helped us build a concept that will follow them during the process; the createchtivity, a way to think about technology in a creative way, which was the sign of Hads. As one of their main goals was to change certain realities of the Saudi society, we crafted a strategy that was based on being meaningful towards the general public. They had to say compelling and engaging things to the people out there; the tone of voice was designed accordingly.

In a place full of talent to explode, they wanted to build an ecosystem of learning so we placed Hads in a glocal and creative freedom universe. The brand identity, the Art Direction and creative copywriting, which included brackets making a reference to the same writing behavior as in coding, was a clear hint to the human / tech balance.

The brand activation was complete with Hads, as well as the digital universe building which comprised UI and UX design, motion and social media content, amongst other tasks. The global campaign creative planning positioned Hads as a strong and inclusive company in which to grow and expand talent in the Saudi society in front of both investors, future employees and the general public.

You are here for a reason.
Let’s talk about it.

Best and Worst Advice for New Moms

Best and Worst Advice for New Moms: Team Momtrends has heard some interesting advice with our babies, here is the best and worst.

When you have kids it's incredible how everyone gives you advice on how to take care your baby. From your mother-in-law to a stranger on the street everyone seems to have words of wisdom to share - some good and others not as much. From how to calm a baby to how to treat rashes to how to get them sleep Team Momtrends has heard some interesting advice with our babies, here is the best and worst.

Best and Worst Advice for New Moms

Kate Bayless - Writer:
Best Advice: Sleep begets sleep. A sleep consultant friends told me this once and I found it so true. A good nap leads to a good night's sleep. Keeping a baby "up" in order to tire him out always backfired.

E.A.S.Y Schedule. I was a schedule person - not for everyone but it worked for me and my brood. The Eat. Awake. Sleep. You. method from Tracy Hogg's The Baby Whisperer helped provide a rhythm to the day, cues for why my babe might be fussing, and me with definitive mom-moments for catching some shut-eye, a shower or a bite to eat during those sleep-deprived newborn months.

Worst Advice: Don't let your baby suck on a floor-dropped pacifier. C'mon. Let your adult immune system take one for the team. Suck it clean and pop it back in.

Alicia Harper - Writer:
Worst Advice: "Wake your son up to feed him in the middle of the night." This was when Aiden was a couple months old. Ummm, nope! If he was hungry, wouldn't he have woken up on his own?

Best Advice: "NEVER wake a sleeping baby." Ditto! and "Take all 'parenting advice' with a grain of salt."

Elizabeth Leach - Writer:
Worst Advice: The worst advice I got as a new mom was in the birthing class I took at the hospital. I was told to use wash cloths instead of baby wipes when changing my newborn. Well, my clothes dryer broke right after I brought my baby home, so I was washing poopy wash clothes and then hanging them out to dry on a clothes line. My mom finally broke down and told me to just use the wipes! I listened.

Best Advice: The best advice I got was born I was even pregnant. A wife of one of my husband's friends took me aside and said adamantly, "Breastfeeding is really hard. You're going to want to give up, but don't." She was right. It was almost impossible to nurse my first baby, but I didn't give up and it finally got easier. Her words stuck with me when I was struggling.

Michelle Spreckles - Writer:
Best Advice: When talking to your children, always get down to their level, look them in the eye" taught to me by my own mama.
And put baby on a calm, predictable routine early. Be consistent. Via Mama as well as little sis.

Worst Advice: Fit your children into your life, don't fit your life into their's. This was the worst, advice, ever! My life with them became my one and only life once they were born, (before even!) trying to be the "old me" just was setting me up for failure, confusion, and disappointment. I embraced the "new me" and fit my "life into their's."

More info

The Bestlite BL3 Floor Lamp in two sizes was designed in 1930 by Robert Dudley Best, a British designer highly influenced by Bauhaus. Its clean lines and elegant expression are combined with great functionality of the adjustable arm, both horizontal and vertical, and movable shade. Available in a variety of finishes, the Bestlite BL3 Floor Lamp works as reading light in any contemporary home where statement lighting is sought for.

The Bestlite lamp design was first adopted by garages and the Royal Air Force engineering departments due to its great functionality. A feature in Architects Journal lauding Bestlite with the title of the first evidence of Bauhaus in Britain brought the lamp to the attention of the design conscious. Public demand for the Bestlite lamps soon followed and, when Winston Churchill personally chose the Bestlite BL1 Table Lamp for his desk, Bestlite's iconic status was secured.

The Bestlite design stays close to its industrial roots and true to its original design. Bestlite is held in permanent collections at both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Loved by architects, designers and design aficionados throughout its long history, today, Bestlite has become a contemporary classic.

Banks have been given a further six months to sit on bank charges claims, pending the outcome of the test case to determine the fairness of these fees.

The news was revealed this morning by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the City regulator. Yet, in the meantime, banks can continue to levy charges of up to £39 a time for going just a penny over your overdraft limit.

Victims are still submitting claims to get in the queue (for free template letters, see the Bank Charges guide), even though reclaiming is on hold. However, those in financial distress can claim now (see the Bank Charges Hardship guide).

It's thought nearly a billion pounds of charges have been reclaimed already. So far, 6.1 million free bank charges template letters have been downloaded from this site alone.

The hold on claims for most has been in place since July 2007, when it was announced the test case would take place. The current waiver, allowing banks to sit on claims, was due to expire this weekend but has now been extended until 27 January.

Test case latest

The House of Lords is currently considering an appeal by banks against an earlier ruling both in the High Court and the Court of Appeal that bank charges are subject to fairness laws. A decision is expected in October.

If that appeal fails, the Office of Fair Trading will decide on fairness, and it's provisionally stated the charges are unfair.

This week, the Tories branded bank charges unfair.

MSE has written an open letter to Conservative leader David Cameron, asking him to put his money where is mouth is and back the automatic payback of charges. See the current free weekly email for the letter.

Wendy Alcock, money analyst, says: "It's now two years and counting since the FSA waiver, meaning consumers continue to have no come-back to the practice of bank charges being taken from their accounts without their permission.

"While the banks are starting to show signs of recovery, their delaying tactics leave consumers sitting on the side lines until the waiver is lifted. Sadly, this does not look to be anytime soon."

The FSA says the new waiver has been offered because "it is not yet clear how firms should be responding to complaints about unauthorised overdraft charges so that customers are treated consistently and fairly".

However, the waiver could be revoked at any time if the FSA considers "it does not provide adequate consumer protection, or material progress is not made in the test case, or a firm fails to comply with the conditions set out in the waiver".

Greg Rikaart out at Days of our Lives: Is a return to The Young and the Restless already in the works?

Greg Rikaart as Leo on Days of our Lives

With news breaking that Greg Rikaart has left Days of our Lives as Leo Stark, the rumor mill is already churning with speculation that he returns to The Young and the Restless as Kevin, aka The Chipmunk Bandit. What are the chances?

Well, first things first! The actor tweeted the news, “That’s a wrap on Leo. Thanks for all the love. Playing this role has been a gift. An absurdly fun and delicious gift.”

Indeed, he was way over the top as randy Leo. Every other word out of his mouth was a sexual innuendo. Let’s just say he never met a stranger! He even propositioned Xander (Paul Telfer) to go gay for pay.

Yesterday, he learned that he’s really not John Black’s (Drake Hogestyn) son, a fate that broke his heart. Apparently, so much so that he tried to choke out his mom Diana (Judith Chapman). Ironically, Chapman and Rikaart starred as mother and son on Y&R as well.

What is left to play out for Leo after learning you’re the son of two duplicitous parents, no one in Salem likes you, and your husband serves you with divorce papers, all in one day?

Since the show tapes months in advance, we’ll have to wait to find out as Leo will be sticking around a bit, but not for too long.

In the meantime, Rikaart himself won’t have to wait long to find out his fate as a possible Daytime Emmy award winner, as he has been nominated for his role. The awards take place in May.

With things shaking out at Y&R, should we let ourselves believe that Rikaart might pop back up to play Kevin? The chances aren’t awful, since Doug Davidson is back as Paul Williams, after the departure of ex-head writer and executive producer Mal Young.

No one has the mad computer hacking skills that Kevin does, so maybe Paul reaches out to him?

The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Carroll A. Young

Carroll A. Young

Carroll A. Young, 93, passed away in his favorite recliner at his home on October 16, 2020.

He was born on April 13, 1927 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia to Maude and George Young.

He graduated from Berkeley Springs High School in 1945.

Carroll (also known as Bing) met his wife of 68 years, Isabella Rockwell Young, in high school.

Shortly after, he served in the Army in post-war Germany. Then, he began working for the Pennsylvania Glass Sand Corporation and retired after 41 years.

In his free time, he enjoyed rabbit and squirrel hunting, fishing, played amateur local baseball for 5 years, coached Little League baseball, was president of the BSHS Band Boosters, and was a member of American Legion Post 60.

Carroll enjoyed the pleasure of his family, friends and neighbors. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved kidding around and connecting with others.

His memory was off the charts and he shared many of his life stories over the years. He was incredibly supportive of Isabella’s hobbies after his retirement. He & Isabella enjoyed dining out, dancing, and visiting his family. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife to Europe on a couple of trips; and in later years, they enjoyed bus trips within the United States. He was a wonderful, animated conversationalist; enjoyed daily walks for many years; read his newspaper daily from cover to cover; and liked watching football & baseball on television.

He loved his children Norman and Diana, and they kept in close contact with him throughout his life. He was a member of the Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church and was instrumental in the development of the church addition.

He is survived by his son Norman (Linda), his daughter Diana (Ed), his grandchild Jason (Tammy), and his great grandchildren Wyatt and Weston Mullins.

Carroll was predeceased by his wife, Isabella, his parents, his siblings and his granddaughter Amanda Mullins.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private burial was held, and a celebration of his life will occur at a future date.

Donations and memorial contributions may be made to the Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church (P.O. Box 513, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411) or to The Alzheimer’s Association (1601 2nd Avenue, Charleston, WV 25387).
