What I loved is that she manages to combine all these elements with warmth and great humour. Looking at the world and human nature through her eyes is exhilarating.

Pisces Horoscope for Tomorrow
Pisces, learning more about your characteristics and personality can help with the direction of your life.
Take advantage of all the resources that stars and planets offer you -
There are people for whom success comes easy. Is it that they are simply lucky? Or is it something else? For thousands of years there have been successful people who have used astrology as a guide to life, to business and to romance. Astrological horoscopes help you find the right actions and the right time to act. It gives you a map to navigate by and information you can get no other way. It's always better to know the right thing to do before you need to do it. It takes the edge off the unknown and gives you an advantage. A detailed astrological report or an accurate tomorrow’s Pisces horoscope is available here.
The personalities of astrology signs can be quite interesting and Pisces is the most interesting of all. Pisces is the final sign of the Zodiac horoscope. Its symbol is the fish, usually represented as two fish, and so it is obviously a water sign. Those born under Pisces, February 20th to March 20th, have the most enigmatic astrological profile. Part of this enigma is that while the other horoscope signs of the Zodiac tend to have fixed astrological characteristics, the most important characteristic of Pisces is adaptability. This means that Pisces people will shift and change to fit circumstances and so it isn’t so easy to pin them down, today this tomorrow that. They flow and change like water. This doesn’t mean that they are weak or spineless; it does mean that they consistently judge situations and try, like water, to take the path of least resistance.
Sensitivity is another important characteristic of Pisces. They easily feel what others are thinking and they can be quite emotional. This emotion sometimes gets in the way. Pisces can hold a grudge for a long time, well beyond tomorrow or next week; the flip side of this is that a Pisces will not forget a kindness either. This sensitivity also means that the Pisces person is very much aware of his or her inner world. To the Pisces horoscope sign, the world of the mind is as important as the world outside. And so, you can expect the Pisces to treat his or her thoughts and decisions to be as valid as objective facts. What opinions they hold are often considered more important than any information they may receive from outside. This makes Pisces seem stubborn when in fact they simply put a higher value on what they think and know and a lesser value on what other people think and know. This is not done maliciously; it’s just the nature of Pisces.
Another interesting aspect is that their inward looking world view can make Pisces both alluring and mysterious. You can’t always tell what Pisces are thinking. Which often makes them seem full of surprises; you will never know what tomorrow will bring. They may give gifts unexpectedly or decide on a change of job or even location without warning. But, whatever the surprise might be, you can be sure that the Pisces had been thinking about it for quite a while. In fact, they are sometimes even mysteries to themselves. If you are a Pisces or are interested in someone who is, you can find out more with tomorrow’s Pisces horoscope or a detailed astrological report.
The people within the influence of Pisces horoscope sign do everything possible or impossible to keep their friends and family happy. They are known for providing emotional support to anyone who needs it and can be very open and generous. They are very artistic and deeply love their loved ones. They are known to go along the mainstream and their ideas and philosophies change according to the prevailing trends. It can be extremely hard to keep a Pisces as a friend or life partner due to their ever changing and mutable personalities. Here today gone tomorrow.
So what can your Tomorrow’s Pisces horoscope tell you? Well, it can tell you a number of different things. One of the most important is getting to grips with the quirks in your personality. As you are probably aware, those born under different star signs have rather different personalities. Sometimes it is bad enough dealing with everybody else’s personality, but having to deal with your own is a completely different ball game! Our daily horoscopes will teach you everything that you need to know about personality quirks, and once you understand that you will find that it is much easier to succeed in life.
It will also allow you to find out if there is a major event coming up in your life that is worth knowing about. For example, if there are signs to look out for that a potential love interest or new job just around the corner. Our tomorrow’s horoscopes will also be able to inform you whether there is something to watch out for in your life which could cause it to go wrong. Nowhere else will you be able to get the same type of warning, and this really does show you that our professional astrologers have got your back when it comes to life.

Things got a little hairy at Los Alamos Firehouse No. 3 Saturday as many of Los Alamos’ finest lost their locks to a good cause. Many showed up to the firehouse to get their heads shaved, thanks to some quick thinking by firefighter Micah Brittelle.
It all started when Brittelle heard that some of his colleagues with the Santa Fe Fire Department were going to a St. Baldrick’s “shave-a-thon” in Rio Rancho to help raise money for cancer research.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money to research cures for childhood cancer through many events. Their trademark event, though, is where people in a company or an organization can come together and raise money for the foundation by getting their heads shaved.
“They created a team and were going to go to Rio Rancho, but when I hear of events going on like that, I like to bring it back here to our community,” Brittelle said. “Instead of having our fire department solicit donations in Rio Rancho we can do an event here in Los Alamos and have public support from our community,” he said.
And support they did get. The event raised at least $4,925, with more sure to come in.
T-shirts for those who volunteered and raised more than $50 as well as buttons and pins that said, “Ask me why I’m bald,” were available at the event.

Applications to fly banners no longer considered after decision in council
Nelson City Council has decided to no longer allow any banners to be flown in the city (Photo: Alex Skultety, MyNelsonNow.com staff)
NELSON, B.C – Nelson will no longer consider applications from community groups requesting to fly banners over Baker Street after a decision in City Council Tuesday night.
The matter has raised debate after a Right to Life-banner sparked outrage in Nelson earlier.
City manager Kevin Cormack said that the decision to no longer consider banners stems from the concerns over what banners would be considered appropriate.
“As a local government, we have a responsibility to treat everyone equally as long as they are not offending or infringing on human rights. It did take staff time, so we will really stick to flags at this stage”, Cormack told MyNelsonNow.com.
The newly formalized policy will also prohibit banners, such as those recently visible during the Kootenay pride celebrations, which representatives of the local LGBTQ-community have been critical against.

Money is not a client of any investment adviser featured on this page. The information provided on this page is for educational purposes only and is not intended as investment advice. Money does not offer advisory services.
Plenty of investors check trading apps daily and worry about the stock market's latest price moves. Unfortunately, few of them actually seek help dealing with the emotional rollercoaster.
Handling market volatility emotionally is among Americans' biggest financial advice gaps — meaning, they struggle with it but don't ask anyone for guidance — according to a new report from market research firm Hearts & Wallets.
"If consumers are feeling nervous about handling market volatility emotionally, they shouldn't feel alone," says Laura Varas, Hearts & Wallets founder and CEO. "They're actually in quite good company."
The survey, which was conducted online in September and included 5,794 participants, featured questions about which financial tasks respondents found most difficult and whether they are seeking help, like searching for answers online, talking to a financial advisor or reaching out to friends and family.
The other big financial advice gaps are choosing appropriate investments, estimating required minimum withdrawals (RMDs), making buy and sell decisions on investments and estate planning, the research found.
While more households are seeking financial advice overall than in the previous year, most of that growth is driven by households with $100,000 to under $500,000 in assets. The research found that millennials and Gen Z-ers are more likely to seek help for financial tasks than older generations.
So, why aren't people seeking financial advice for issues like handling market volatility? Reasons vary but could include that consumers don't know where to turn for help, have difficulty relating to support or are worried about the cost, Amber Katris, Hearts & Wallets subject matter expert, said in the press release that accompanied the report.
Reaching out is the first step, Varas says. Overall, households that sought help on at least two tasks were more than twice as likely to see value in advice than households who have not sought help.
How to handle stock market volatility
The stock market has had a great run up since it crashed in March of 2020 when COVID-19 first hit, with the S&P 500 — a benchmark commonly used to measure the overall stock market — continuing to hit new record highs. But the market has recently been experiencing a pullback, and if you're worried about volatility, that's understandable.
Still, giving into the fear and panic selling is not the right move. Just take a look at 2020, when investors pulled $326 billion out of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in March — more than triple the fund outflows seen in October 2008, the previous record — according to Morningstar. By August of 2021, the S&P 500 was up 100% from its pandemic low, meaning that investors who had bought during the low would have doubled their money.
Financial advisors say the key to handling market volatility is to have a long-term investing plan in place that includes a diversified portfolio that is regularly rebalanced. A diversified portfolio will include a mix of assets, like stocks and bonds, as well as a mix within those assets — stocks of both small and large companies, international and U.S. companies, etc. Rebalancing refers to selling investments that have increased in value and replenishing investments that have decreased in value to get your portfolio back to holding its target weights.
Ideally, sticking to this plan will ensure that if one part of your portfolio suffers, another will whether the storm.
If you need help, you can also turn to a financial advisor for help. Money has a full guide on finding an advisor, including how to know which type of advisor you want, how much they tend to cost and more.

Abstract: Age-related changes in levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mRNA of the dorsal root ganglia was studied in 8-, 12- and 15-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age-matched normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). CGRP mRNA levels in SHR but not in WKY decreased with age. The contents of CGRP-like immunoreactivities in the atrium and mesenteric artery of 15-week-old SHR were greater than those in age-matched WKY. These results suggest that the outflow of CGRP-containing nerves from the spinal cord and CGRP release from CGRP nerve terminals decreases in SHR.

The US-based tech company had asked the antitrust regulator to help it gain access to the identities of app developers and startups who said they would suffer as a result of its policies. The ICC rejected the request, after which Google India took the matter to the High Court.
Earlier Monday, ET announced that ICC will soon be requesting a detailed report from app developers explaining the impact of Google’s payment policies on their balance sheets. It will also ask them to suggest alternative payment mechanisms if possible.
High Court Judge Krishna S. Dixit took note of the joint memorandum filed by Google India, the ICC and the Alliance of Digital India Foundation, under which Google would cooperate with the ICC investigation and not implement its Play Store billing policy only in October. 31. However, the three parties have retained the freedom to go to court if necessary.
The ICC had previously told the court that it would complete the investigation in two months. Additional Solicitor General N. Venkataraman appeared for the antitrust regulator, while Senior Counsel Sajan Poovayya appeared for Google India.
Google had opposed the provisional measure requested by ADIF against its Play Store billing policy, arguing that it had already postponed the date for integrating application developers into its billing system to October 31.

Jane McLoughlin is an American who has lived in the UK for over 20 years. She teaches English in a secondary school and "At Yellow Lake" is her first novel. It was nominated for the 2013 Carnegie Award, longlisted for the 2013 Branford Boase Award and shortlisted for the 2014 Sussex Coast Schools Amazing Book Awards.
Maddy Deeprose sees dead people: ghosts accompany her wherever she goes. Her mother has always warned her to keep this secret, but when Maddy starts at Crowham Martyrs School, her sixth sense seems to call up something evil and truly terrifying and Maddy can’t keep quiet any longer. Definitely in the category of ‘books to read with the lights on’, this is a thrilling supernatural page turner. McLoughlin builds the suspense with every chapter, while Maddy is a classic teen heroine: brave, troubled, isolated. Drawing on real events from the 16th century, this is a sophisticated piece of horror fiction for those brave enough to read it! ~ Andrea Reece
The Unfriended is an epic coming of age novel about a generation of women, played out in Ireland, where what happens during and after the Troubles becomes a metaphor for the women's struggle to make peace with one another. Set in the Swinging Sixties, theirs was the first generation free to claim womanhood as anything they wanted it to be. The novel follows the four women through the highs and lows of interwoven later lives until they discover that only by redefining the terms of female friendship can they take their place in the history they all helped to create.
Etta, Peter and Jonah all find themselves at a cabin by the shore of Yellow Lake, and flung together in the terrifying series of events that follows. Jonah has come to Yellow Lake to try to get in touch with his Ojibwe roots. Peter is there to bury a lock of his mother's hair - her final request. Etta is on the run from her mother's creepy boyfriend, Kyle, and his dodgy friends. But as the three take shelter in the cabin, finding surprising solace in each other's company, they soon realise that they have inadvertently stumbled onto the scene of a horrifying crime, and Kyle and his cronies have no intention of letting them escape. A sparkling debut from new teen author, Jane McLoughlin, At Yellow Lake will keep readers gripped until the final page. A page turning story which oozes menace. A fantastic debut and a treat for Young Adult readers. Anne Cassidy, award-winning author of Looking for JJ
McLoughlin proposes that the combination of marginalization of men under Margaret Thatcher, and Tony Blair's actions of making government part of popular culture, made women the dominant political force in our society. Yet by the very nature of the popular culture that empowered them - trivial, emotional and irrational - women have brought about change in crucial aspects of our society which now threaten the democratic system itself.
Two sisters cause an event so terrible it will destroy their love for each other and haunt their lives ever afterwards. Then, after years of silence, they return to help their father grieve their mother's death. There, at the family farm, the final terrible dance of the sisters' rivalry and envy will be performed.

What a week! So I blew off a little steam at the hula-hoop rockabilly break-the-blog revival at JD Mader’s Unemployed Imagination. Maybe you’ll join us next Friday for a little two-minute (give or take) flash fiction. Here’s one of my pieces from this week. I hope you’ll also roll on over and check out what the other writers threw down. So much fancy word-dancing in one place.
The kid with the Harry Potter glasses had an arm on him—the only worrisome prospect Joey had seen all night—but three tries, no dice. “This game is rigged.”
Joey smirked. “Tell it to someone who makes more than five bucks an hour. Next!” But the troublemaker didn’t move. Just pressed his lips together and gave him the stink-eye. “What? You casting a spell on me?”
“I want my money back!”
“Beat it, kid. Go get sick on corn dogs or something. You had your chance, let someone else take a turn.” He grinned at the tiny red-haired girl behind him. “Step right up, little lady, three chances to knock a bottle down, three chances to win!”
“It’s rigged,” Harry Potter said to her. “You’re not gonna win.”
She pursed her lips at him. “Says who?”
“Says physics, that’s what. The bottles are weighted on the bottom. The balls aren’t heavy enough.”
“Jeez, kid.” Joey pressed his palms into the counter and leaned forward, trying to look menacing. Not easy in the stupid candy-striped vest management made them wear. “Trying to make a living here. You think my various vices and devices come cheap? Now step off and let the lady try.” He hooked an eyebrow. “Unless you’re afraid she’s gonna show you up.”
The kid stood straighter. “I’m not afraid.”
Still eyeballing Harry Potter, Joey rustled up three balls and smacked them down in front of the girl. She gave the boy a testicle-withering glare, fired back and bam-bam-bam, three bottles toppled over.
Mouth falling open, the kid reached for his back pocket. “I wanna try that again.”
Joey stuck out his palm.
Six tries later, the boy groaned in disgust and skulked away.
When he was out of view, Joey beckoned the little girl forward and slipped a five into her hand. She dropped her gaze to the bill, then back up at him. “You promised seven.”
He slid her a grin and added another couple of bucks to her take. “You learn quick, sweetheart,” he said, tugging on one of her braids. “One day you’re gonna make Mom and I so proud.”

So Maybe I’m Not Okay
I’m sure you saw this coming. You know how miserable I’ve been. If you were stationed closer, things would be different. I can’t keep doing this. We never see each other. Dale is here. He’s here and you aren’t. It just happened. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, Jake. I love you. I only wish you the best. -Katie
The torn-out notebook paper crumples inside my fist. I feel myself shaking.
Jaw tight, I turn toward the wall, cock my free hand back and strike my knuckles against it, pounding until I see blood smear.
That bitch. That stupid fucking bitch.
“Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!” I roar.
I toss her bullshit onto the floor and tear through my room. I flip over the small table I keep shit on—shit of hers she gave me. Framed pictures and souvenirs from road trips and stupid fucking shit that means nothing. Two years of lies. Two years that were supposed to lead to more, but it just happened. Dale is there. I’m not. She’s fucking him. She’s giving him framed pictures and days that’ll turn into two years.
Fuck her. Fuck. Her.
I send everything crashing to the floor. I crush it beneath my boot.
The desk I share with my roommate—that piece of shit who said Katie didn’t seem the type to handle deployments and distance well—is next.
Fuck him for knowing.
Cheap plywood splits apart when it hits the floor, and the laptop I’d use to Skype on crashes against the wall after I hurl it.
She told me she loved me on that. She got off watching me get off. She’d smile at me on the screen and tell me she couldn’t wait to be done with school so she could move here.
She’s done with me and wishing me the best and fucking her neighbor and “FUCK YOU!”
I pick up the end of my bed and toss it as far as I can. I rip the phone cord out of the wall and throw the receiver.
I only got that shit because of her. Why the fuck would I need it now?
The Walmart purchase crashes against the door.
I punch the wall again. I keep moving. I keep pacing and kicking shit and breaking anything I can until I force myself to stop before I crush bone.
Chest heaving, I look around the room at my destruction.
My hands tremble.
My skin burns and itches, and I feel like I’m on fire.
I grip my hair and squeeze my eyes shut as relief waters my mouth and rushes in my blood.
The high I could chase to take all of this away is right there in my pocket. I just need to reach for it.
It’s simple. It’s easy.
“Do it,” the best feeling in the world whispers in my ear.
I just need to go numb for a day or an hour or a minute. I need to stop feeling this.
I need to forget her.
I need to forget what she’s done.
I need I need I need I need.
My phone is in my hand and a number I shouldn’t know is on my screen, and I can barely see it through the tears in my eyes.
I want this.
I hate this.
My hand in my hair pulls. I can already feel better. My fingers shake.
I’m going to do it.
I’m going to do it.
I’ll feel nothing in an hour.
I’ll hate myself tomorrow, but I’ll feel good first.
The high is better than the comedown. It’s worth it. It always is.
Dale—I can see that fucker in my head. He’s touching her. Kissing her. Fucking the girl I thought about buying a ring for. He’s shaking my hand and telling me he’ll keep an eye on what’s mine.
He’s smiling. They’re smiling. He’s taking everything I have.
“Just one more time,” my favorite memory beckons me.
She loves me. Cocaine-fueled and blackout drunk. She always will. There’s no one else for her but me.
Katie doesn’t feel that way. She won’t love me ever again. She never did.
My back hits the wall, and I slide to the floor. I almost hurl my phone across the room. Thank fuck I don’t.
“What’s up, man?” The rough voice in my ear sounds happy to hear from me. He’s smiling.
I want to kill myself.
“I need your help,” I croak. My throat feels like it’s ripping apart.
“I’m leaving now.” His tone changes to something that scares me. Something I’ve heard more times than I can count. “Give me two minutes, and I’m out the door, Jake. Hold on. I’m coming.”
My brother is coming.
Tears fall to my cheeks.
I hang my head and begin to sob.
It takes six hours for my brother to get to me.
I’m sweating and shaking and scared out of my fucking mind, and it takes six hours until he’s calling me because I won’t let him in. I won’t answer the door. I forget why he’s here.
Holy shit. Hi.
He’s screaming for me, and he sounds as scared as I am (was), and I don’t understand, but then he’s breaking into my room, throwing his shoulder into the door until the wood splits at the frame. He stumbles inside.
I smile so big because I love my brother and I miss him.
I laugh because my door is gone.
“Bro. You’re fucking crazy, you know that?”
My voice sounds far away, but not as far away as CJ’s.
I’m in South Carolina and he’s in Alabama, and we never see each other anymore, but he’s here now. My big brother.
He stands there, staring at the remains of my room. He looks over at me and curses.
“What?” I ask. “Come here, man. Get over here.”
I smile again, and my speech is slurred. I feel good now. Great, actually. I’m so happy to see my brother—I want to cry.
CJ finally rushes over to me.
I don’t know why but I’m on the bathroom floor, and I’m so fucked up I don’t stand. He has to crouch down to put us eye to eye.
“Jake. Fuck, what happened?”
He’s feeling my pockets and the tile beneath me.
What is he doing? What is he looking for?
“What. Nothing happened… come on. Stop.” I try to put my arms around him. “Come here. Give me a hug.”
“What the fuck did you take?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Jake! Goddamn it!” He grips my shoulders, shaking me hard. “What. Did. You. Take?”
I smile, but he doesn’t, and I want to laugh in CJ’s face. He should be happy I’m happy. Why isn’t he?
My brother looks miserable, and I feel like a fucking god.
CJ’s face is inches from mine, and he’s scared.
No. He’s terrified. I can see it now.
My breath catches, and I’m not smiling anymore. I forget how to.
Because I finally remember what I did and why he’s here.
I remember what I took.
My hand opens, and I show him the empty bottle.
“Oh fuck,” I croak.
My roommate’s Oxy.
He hid them in the desk. I didn’t know, but I found them. They were five feet away from me where I sat on the floor, the drawer he kept them in busted apart, and I tried to ignore the bottle. I did.
I made it an hour.
And then another.
I buried my face in my hands and screamed. I paced the room.
My skin sweated and itched.
Five hours. Almost six.
I thought about leaving and never coming back, but maybe…
Maybe I didn’t need to leave. Maybe it wasn’t even something I wanted to take.
I just had to check—one look. A glance, and I could forget all about them. I could relax. I could maybe even breathe.
I just needed to look.
I take every fucking pill in that bottle.
“I tried,” I say, voice cracking. “I didn’t want to, CJ. I didn’t.”
“I was waiting for you, and then I found them. I almost made it. I almost made it, CJ, but six hours. It took you six hours.”
“I know.” CJ sounds as devastated as I feel. “I’m sorry. Hey.” He gently holds my face, pressing his forehead against mine. “I’m so sorry, Jake.”
Tears fill my eyes.
My brother is good. He’s so good. He’ll do anything for me. He’ll drop whatever it is he’s doing and drive four hundred miles the second I need him. He’ll break speed limits. He’ll break down doors. Anything and everything.
He’ll even blame himself for this, but he’s not the brother who needs help. He’s not the addict. The fuck-up. I am.
Not him. Never him.
“It’s not your fault,” I say.
“I should’ve driven faster.”
“No. Bullshit.” I drop the bottle and it rolls across the floor. I peel his hands away from my face. “I won’t let you feel guilty for this. You don’t get to feel guilty for this, okay? You can’t.”
“How many did you take?”
“I don’t know.” My head feels heavy, too heavy to lift anymore, and I drop it back against the wall. “I don’t know how many were in there. I didn’t count them.”
I start laughing.
I don’t know why, but everything is funny to me again. “You broke my door, shithead.”
I think he wants to smile at me, but he doesn’t. He looks too sad to smile.
“Katie broke up with me.”
CJ’s brows lift, but only for a second. “I’m sorry.”
“She’s fucking Dale now, so. It’s cool. Whatever. I don’t even care.” I flex my hand and think about punching another wall, but I can’t get up. “I’m really scared, you know?”
“I fucked up, CJ.”
“It’s okay. Hey. It’s okay.” He lifts my chin, forcing me to look at him. “I’m not going anywhere. I won’t leave you. We’ll figure this out.”
“What do I do?”
“We need to get you to a meeting.”
“Yeah.” I nod, liking that idea. He’s so smart. “Yeah, that’s good. That’ll work.”
“You got one here?”
He sighs. “Shit, Jake.”
“I haven’t needed to go to one! I’ve been good. You know I have.”
“I thought you were checking in with people. You’re supposed to.”
I kick at him, which is really fucking dumb because CJ probably has at least thirty pounds of muscle on me and could easily whip my ass, but I’m pissed that he’s pissed.
So, I do it anyway.
“Fuck off, okay?” He doesn’t even budge an inch. “I’ve been clean for seven years! Stop talking to me like I’m a junkie.”
“You are a junkie.”
“I fucked up once! Get the fuck out of my face!”
“And go where, huh? You want me to leave you like this? You can’t even stand! Not to mention what you did to your room. This place looks like shit.”
“It’s not that bad.”
“Not that bad?”
He stands then, looming over me like some massive asshole.
I don’t know when he got to be so big.
He’s not that much taller than me. But his arms and chest and shoulders are huge. He’s intimidating as fuck.
And he looks stupid.
But I don’t tell him that because again, thirty pounds of muscle. I don’t want to get punched.
“Your desk is destroyed. Both beds. Your laptop. There are holes in the walls—”
“Oh no. Call the police. I punched a wall.”
He glares at me. “What about your roommate, huh? What do you think is gonna happen, Jake? Have you even fuckin’ thought about the consequences of your actions? What if an MP finds you? What then?”
“Oh, here we go. Here we go. Officer Tully emerges.” I flip him off. “Suck my dick, pig. Do you really think I need you? I don’t. I’m fine.”
“You’re high off your ass.”
Whatever. I am not.
“Fuck you,” I spat. “Fuck my roommate. And fuck the MPs. You’ll probably rat me out to them anyway. I bet you want to.”
Goddamn military police. They can all suck a dick.
CJ looks at me like I’m crazy. “You need to stop talking before I beat the shit out of you. I swear to God.”
“You need to stop talking,” I grumble, looking at the floor and praying he doesn’t hear me.
CJ sighs and curses under his breath, but he doesn’t say anything else to me.
Not for several minutes, at least.
And the longer he’s quiet, the worse I feel and the sadder I get.
He drove four hundred miles to save me. A locked door couldn’t keep us apart. He’d do anything for me right now, I know he would, and I’m telling him to fuck off and trying to kick him. I’m wishing he wasn’t here so he doesn’t have to see me like this, again, because he’s seen me like this before and I promised him, I promised him it was the last time when I stole from our parents to get high and my own brother, my own flesh and blood had to arrest me. I swore to him that I was done fucking up my life and his and theirs. I was going to do better. And he said he knew I could do it, he believed in me.
“I’ll do anything for you, Jake.”
I cried on his shoulder when he dropped me off at rehab, and he smiled and told me he was so proud of me, and every year, he calls and tells me the same thing. “I’m proud of you, little brother.”
And I’m so fucked up right now, I can’t even stand beside him.
“NoNoNoNo.” I drop my head into my hands as tears fall down my cheeks. I can’t believe I did this. “CJ,” I sob.
His arms are around me before I can tell him how sorry I am. He lets me cry into his neck, even though it’s gross, and it’s like the last conversation didn’t even happen because he isn’t leaving me, I don’t need to do this alone.
“It’s gonna be okay, Jake, I promise,” he says, and I believe him.
I feel better already because my big brother is here. He knows I can do this.
And when he tells me we’ll figure this out, I nod and hold on to him tighter. It’s all I can do.
Everything is going to be okay. He promises me again. And he’s never broken his promises.
I made a mistake. A tiny mistake.
“It’ll be okay, Jake.”
It will. I know it will because CJ will make sure of it. He always does.
“What… the… fuck? Jesus Christ! Are you kidding me, man?”
CJ’s body goes rigid.
He can’t know who that is, he’s never met my roommate, but he knows.
Somehow, he knows.
And he leaves me on the floor to try and explain the situation and save my ass. He’s up and moving, and their voices are colliding.
CJ justifying what I’ve done (God, I love my brother) and my roommate yelling over him and trying to get to me (I fucking dare you), and they’re both talking/screaming at once—it’s muddled together, and Jesus, my hand looks fucked up.
I probably shouldn’t punch anything else.
“You’re a piece of shit!” my roommate yells, trying to get past my brother. “I’ve always hated you, you know that? Fuck you—get off me! Jesus! Do you see what he did to my stuff? You’re dead, Tully. You’re so fucking dead!”
I laugh and laugh. I can’t help it. My roommate doesn’t stand a chance against my brother.
“Oh, and by the way, I fucked your girl last year. Yeah. Who’s laughing now, motherfucker?”
My roommate smiles so fucking big.
I fly off the floor, and I think CJ lets me at him because my brother could stop me if he really wanted to.
Or maybe he’s just too shocked/stunned that I’m finally up and moving or too focused on keeping my roommate back that he doesn’t have time to turn around and grab me before I swing, connecting with cartilage and shattering that motherfucker’s nose.
“Jake! What the fuck?” CJ roars.
“What!” I yell back.
My brother is always worried about me. Maybe he thinks my hand is broken now. I should check.
I look down at my knuckles.
They’re bruising and swelling up, but I feel great.
Oh, and I know why too.
I leer at my roommate over CJ’s shoulder. “I bet you wish I hadn’t found your stash, man, cuz that looks like it hurts.”
CJ yells at me again, but I just laugh and cry. It feels so strange to do both. But at least I can stand now, and I don’t think my hand is broken, so, hey, good news all around.
And my roommate? That dick?
He’s bleeding all over the carpet and spitting out threats as the room starts filling with more people, all of them siding with him.
“You’re such a dickhead, Tully.”
What the fuck? He’s the one who fucked my girlfriend!
And then that douchebag is gone to rat me out, and for a moment, I think that’s the funniest shit I’ve ever heard.
“He’s going to tell on me. Oh no.” I crack up, bumping shoulders with my brother.
I expect him to agree. I listen for the low rumble of his laugh. I keep waiting for it.
“Jake,” he says, he begs, because that’s what it sounds like he’s doing. He’s scared now. I probably should be too.
I laugh enough for both of us.
It doesn’t really sink in and terrify me until hours later when all my shit is packed in the back of my brother’s truck, and we’re leaving the base I’ve been stationed at for five years, and I realize I’m never coming back here because I can’t.
That’s when it hits me.
And I spend the next six hours crying and wanting to die as I replay everything I did and every word my brother said to my staff sergeant when he pleaded with him to overlook this one tiny mistake.
“Look at everything he’s done for you. Look at everything he’s done for his country! Three tours! He’s given you everything. Please don’t do this to him. Please.”
His voice broke on that one, I heard it.
I cry harder and curl into a ball on the seat.
“It’s going to be okay, Jake,” CJ tells me again and again, and I want to believe him like I always do, but how can I?
I’m jobless and homeless.
I’m an addict who just lost seven years of sobriety.
I’m a Marine (former) who’s been dishonorably discharged.
And I want to get high, again. Right now, even though my life is over because of it.
That’s how I really know I’m fucked.

- The reality TV star and entrepreneur launched her newest Kimoji fragrances in mid-July.
- Kardashian West owns 100 percent of her company, KKW Beauty.
- Kim’s net worth eclipses that of her husband, rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West, by $100 million.
Celebrity power couple Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate, multiple outlets reported Jan. 2. Their fourth baby will add to their family, which includes sister North, who is the oldest, brother Saint, and baby sister Chicago, who was also born through surrogacy. Kardashian West and her husband welcomed Chicago in January 2018.
Motherhood seems to suit the entrepreneur, who’s been raising her business as well as her family.
At the launch of her latest Kimoji fragrances, the celebrity entrepreneur reportedly earned $5 million in just five minutes, according to Yahoo. On Aug. 5, she starred alongside her famous family in the 15th season premiere of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” But the celebrity who’s famous for being famous might well go down in history as being famous as something else: a savvy entrepreneur. Kardashian West’s cosmetics company, KKW Beauty, has generated around $100 million in revenue as of summer 2018. Instead of receiving royalties through licensing, Kardashian West owns the whole company. And after opening an account on Chinese beauty platform Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, it looks like she’s poised to take her beauty line international.
Click to read about how she built an empire worth millions.
Kim Kardashian Net Worth: $350 Million
Kardashian West’s beauty startup had earned an estimated $100 million in sales since June 2017, Forbes reported in July 2018, but she was accumulating wealth well before that. An expert at monetizing her fame, she has brought in money from endorsement deals, clothing lines, branded merchandise and lucrative mobile ventures (though the Kardashian crew announced in December 2018 their decision to shut down their apps in 2019).
Her various business ventures have brought Kardashian West’s net worth to $350 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth — which is significantly more than her husband Kanye West’s net worth of $250 million, also according to Celebrity Net Worth. Their combined fortune is $600 million, making them one of the richest celebrity couples.
Despite the loss of digital endorsement deals following the October 2016 night she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, Kardashian West’s business acumen helped her finances — and image — bounce back in fabulous fashion.
KKW Beauty and Other Kardashian West Businesses
As far as business goes, Kardashian West’s years of accumulated beauty knowledge made her venture into cosmetics a no-brainer. In June 2017, Kardashian West launched her KKW Beauty makeup line, which includes contour and highlighting kits. She also collaborated on a lipstick collection with her youngest sister, Kylie Jenner. Less than three hours after its initial launch, the Kim Kardashian cosmetics line had sold out all 300,000 of its kits, raking in an estimated $14.4 million, Time reported.
Kim Kardashian Perfume and Other Businesses
On top of all that, she launched three new fragrances — Kimoji Cherry, Kimoji Vibes and Kimoji Peach — in July 2018. Yahoo reported that the millionaire mom made a whopping $5 million dollars in just five minutes.
Before breaking into the cosmetics industry, one of Kardashian West’s most successful money makers was her mobile app, Kimoji, which inspired a line of merchandise and continues to push exclusive offerings to her followers. She also continues to bring in cash through her lucrative “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood” cellphone game, which earned $51 million in 2016. However, the game’s revenue is down from earning about $43 million in the third quarter of 2014 to just above $8 million in a single quarter in 2018.
Kardashian West previously partnered with her sisters to design the now-defunct Kardashian Kollection for Sears, which brought in $600 million in 2013 and earned the trio a combined $30 million. Kardashian West and her husband launched their own joint children’s wear venture, Kids Supply. Kardashian West and her two oldest sisters also owned DASH, which they opened in 2006. However, in April 2018, Kardashian West announced the closure of all DASH stores.

Outside of her retail businesses, Kardashian West has made money by selling her discarded clothes, shoes and accessories on eBay. As of 2014, she had sold over $212,000 worth of goods on the site, donating around $21,000 to charity and pocketing the rest.
Kim Kardashian West’s Endorsements, Social Media Reign and More
A social media maven, Kardashian West has 124 million followers on Instagram and over 59 million on Twitter. A savvy marketer, she gets paid up to $500,000 from companies to promote their products on Instagram, according to Harper’s Bazaar.
The queen of endorsements has even found a way to get paid for attending her own birthday bashes. Kardashian West has held several birthday parties at The Venetian’s TAO Nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip. In 2014, she reportedly was paid $500,000 to appear at a party and entertain guests for at least four hours. Also in 2014, she received $500,000 to attend the Vienna Opera Ball as the guest of Austrian businessman Richard Lugner.
Her endorsements have included SugarBearHair Vitamins, Fit Tea drinks, BoxyCharm makeup kits and her husband’s Yeezy fashion line.

The dating industry
The biggest web dating companies have a huge lead over the competition—two control more than 40 percent of the market.
Leader Inter Active Corp (IAC) owns at least 30 sites, including and OKCupid, followed by e Harmony.com, which targets a slightly older demographic. Of 19,000 couples married between 20, more than a third met through an online dating site, according to a study in last May’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Plus, more people are getting online all the time—70 percent American adults had broadband access as of last May, up from 42 percent in 2006.
The biggest players also are adding cross-over lines of business.Last December, more than 1 in 10 American adults visited dating sites, spending more than an hour a day there on average, according to Market research company Nielsen.(The 1.8 million visitors to OKCupid topped the field for time spent, at 3 hours a day.) Changing demographics are a big part of what’s inflating the industry.Target marketing, changing demographics, and decreasing stigma about online dating are continually bringing new users to fore.That growth is already beginning to attract investors.

Hello everyone,, I've always heard people bashing it so I decided to try it out. I played the 75 Watt at Guitar Center today and it sounded pretty fantastic to me. I play mostly metal but it still sounded great to me. My friend has the Peavey Vypyr and I actually liked the sound of the Spider IV better, to be honest. I'm in the market for a new amp and I am actually considering this now.
