On Desire
Reading the book "On Desire --Why We Want What We Want" by William B. Irvine gives you some better foundation in those discussions. Irvine carries out an analysis of desire. It is done in a straight-forward way, easy to understand, but still firmly related to the philosophical history, psychological research, religious schools of thought. Irvine both tries to analyze desire, but also to give some general advise on how to deal with desire.
I think the book is a good reading for any designer involved in being in service of people's wishes, needs and desires.
A final comment. I like the design of the actual book. The unusual size and format makes the book interesting and appealing.

Hi Erik,
I am not sure if I understood this sentence right: "or exploit basic desires that people have, if they are not "good for you". Are you saying they are the same: basic desires and not "good for you." I somewhat have this idea that for certain reasons, people think desires are troublesome, if not really bad. If so, why?

Hi Katy
Well, the author Irvine who writes about desires, make a good case exploring all possible ways of understanding desires. He can probably answer you better than me ;-) But, I think you are right. It is common to see desires not as something necessarily good. We desire so many things that are bad for us. Too much food, too much rest, etc. Our desires might actually, if fulfilled harm our health. So, desires are not to be "trusted". Irvine discusses all historical and contemporary attempts to "handle" or "suppress" or "delete" desires. For instance, Zen buddism is a philosophy that tries to reach a state of no desires. Anyhow, for designers this is interesting, since it would mean that users don not know their own best. They might desire things that are not good for them. This is a fascinating topic and we could go on for ever discussing it...however, it is late and I desire to sleep ;-)

Hi Erik, I hope your desire to sleep was well fulfilled :)
Just a little more of what I think. I think if handled well (fulfilled in a reasonable way and no bad consequences), desires can be good. So it is not the desires themselves are good or bad, but our control of them. I may sound like I believe in "the end justifies the means" here. But I tend to think people are scared and feel powerless about their desires and that is why everybody blames it on desires instead of ourseves. (This is my case sometimes) That is why some philosophy like zen budhism tend to contain desires instead of guiding them in a positive way. Taoism does the same thing. One thing they advocated is "no action," which is pretty much like what the zen budhists do. There is an ancient legend about how to manage flood in Chinese history and I think it is a good analogy here.(I hope I didn't bore you to death with my naive ideas and thanks for reading to the end.)

I am pleased to read your comments, and far from bored ;-) I think you have a really good point. Since desires can provide us with energy and engagement, it is a good approach to try to find ways to guide them into good use, instead on containing them! I agree!

Nice to see women's sports in India growing: Dipika Pallikal
India squash star Dipika Pallikal yesterday hailed the rising status of Indian women sportspersons in the country thanks to the star athletes like herself, tennis ace Sania Mirza and badminton queen Saina Nehwal proving to be apt role models to young women.
Dipika Pallikal
"Women's sport in the country is growing really well. Girls should really take up sport and play. The thinking has changed in the country. Now, we have role models, who have done that," said the the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games doubles gold
medal-winning player.
Arjuna and Padma Shri awardee Pallikal married former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik last year.
At Saturday's Indian Premier League players' auction Karthik was picked by Gujarat Lions for Rs 2.3 crore. And Pallikal said that both she and her husband were looking forward to the million-dollar franchise-based cricket extravaganza.
"This year Dinesh will play for Gujarat. I think regardless of whatever team he plays for, he will give his best. He is passionate about cricket and loves it. We are both looking forward to it," Dipika concluded.

Nice place inside. Been there three times. Home chips are good. Brie appetizer is good. We've had three entrees and all were really bad. Corned beef and cabbage. Oh man! They served me a pile of deli meat on overcooked cabbage. Not at all what I expected. For the price I was charged, I was expecting real cooked corned beef and cabbage not something thrown together from the deli counter. Gave them a second chance. Unfortunately, the french dip sandwich was MUCH worse. Au jus tasted like it came from a can. The little bit of meat was dry and crumbly. Sorry but it was really, really bad. Husband's pizza was awful, too. In this area, you HAVE to cook great food if you want to continue serving food. There are just too many great restaurants to choose from.
Oh, by the way, the entire time we were there tonight, not one smile, not one thank you from the staff.
Two beers, home chip appetizer, an individual pizza and a french dip sandwich with 3 tablespoons of french onion soup for a side cost us $38.73 before the tip.
And we were so very excited to get a neighborhood pub. It will only be snacks and beer for us from now on.

Urgot Build Guide by gripo13
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Urgot Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello this is my 1st guide on Mobafire and sorry for bad english:/. I created this guiede cuz Urgot is my main champion in LoL and I know how to play him pretty good, but i didn't found any guide on Mobafire that fits my gameplay.
Pros / Cons
-early game dominance
-great range
-very annoying
-very good shield with good slow
-ugly (or Cons)
-Squishy at start
-hard to master
-no escape mechanism
Summoner Spells
This is most important summoner spell for Urgot. Yes its nerfed but you are squishy at start and you have no escape mechanism (you have Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverse after level 6 but its helps you only if enemy is closer to your tower then you are). You can also use Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverse on enemy too put him in middle of your team and then use Flash to escape from enemies.
As sad before you are squishy at start and you don't have escape mechanism. You can use it to stay in range for Acid Hunter and to chase down fleeing enemies.
You can pick this instead of Ghost if you see enemy team has many AD carries or if you are lainning against AP nuke ( LeBlanc or Annie or Akali etc.)
If you like more damage and more kills late game or you want to go for FB then pick Ignite but you will have one less escape spell.
With masteries I go 21-0-9. In offense is most important to take
Weapon Expertise
. Combined with your items no armor can stop you. Take 1 point in
Summoner's Wrath
to improve Ghost and 4 points in Sorcery for CDR.
Pick other things in offense as you like just don't take critical chance/strike cuz this build isn't about critical strike and if played right you shouldn't normal attack much.
In utility take 1 point in Summoner's Insight for improved Flash and 3 points in Expanded Mind or Good Hands (as you prefer). 4 points in Swiftness are very important cuz if you don't start with Boots of Speed you are so damn slow -.-
and last point put Runic Affinity for extended buff duration. Blue buff always helps at start.
For Quintessence I take Greater Quintessence of Desolation cuz your early game is already strong and you are weaker at late game. Arp will rally boost your damage.
For Marks I take Greater Mark of Desolation for the same reason as Quintessence.
For Seals I take Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration cuz you run out of mana quickly at until you don't get Tear of the Goddess.
And for the Glyphs I get Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction cuz to shot 4 Acid Hunter in 1 Terror Capacitor you need minimum of 25% CDR. You could get Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist too.
One of the most unknown and underestimated passive in game.
15% damage reduction for 2,5 sec! I just love it! It can reduce damage of one or more targets. This passive puts you in role of very good anti-carry.
This is your main damage ability. It has crazy damage early/mid game and even late if you get fed. Its pretty hard to hit but combined with Noxian Corrosive Charge you can auto-lock them and shot them trough a great distance. Its great last hitting ability too and with 1.2CD(with CDR) will build your Tear of the Goddess or Manamune up really fast. On hit it will apply you passive and slow from Terror Capacitor but not others on-hit effects.
I just love this spell! Its shield you for 320 damage and you normal attacks and Acid Hunter will slow your target 40%. Note that more Mr and Ar you have more damage will shield absorb. This ability is used mainly for kitting your opponent and staying in range for Acid Hunter. And do I need to say how many times shield saved me from Requiem or Ace in the Hole? And in teamfights shield makes you much more tanky and you aren't focused so much.
] This ability allows you to missile-lock your target with Acid Hunter. This is your fearsome combo and allows you to dominate your early/mid game and help you to destroy enemy carry in teamfights. Its deals nice damage too if you max it 2nd. In teamfights tag as many targets as you can with it. You can use Noxian Corrosive Charge to scout bushes too cuz it revels the ares for a moment.
Hyper-Kinetic Position ReverseThis is you ultimate. If you ask me its one of the best ultimates in game but only if used right. Those who disagree with me didn't play Urgot yet or they failed hard with him. It have so many uses. You can catch fleeing enemy, cancel Absolute Zero or Death Lotus, save you carry by stunning his attacker or joust to escape. Its passive gives you short Ar and Mr boost and makes very tanky for a short period. Its very useful in team fight bonus Mr, Ar + Terror Capacitor you can absorb much more damage they would expect.
Skill Sequence
Start with one point in Acid Hunter and max it 1st. Then you put one point in Noxian Corrosive Charge to start with your combo. I max it last. At level 4 you put one point in Terror Capacitor
and then max it second. I saw many players to max it last and maxian Noxian Corrosive Charge second but in my eyes bonus shield and stronger slow is much better then bonus damage. As all ultimate you grab Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverse at level 6,11 and 16.
Starting Items
In 99% games I start with Meki Pendant and 2 health potions. Provide great lain sustain with MP5 which you really need cuz you will harasse you opponet or last hit whit your Acid Hunter if you opponent went back to base. And unlike dorans items you can buy 2 health potions for longer lain sustain (in most games you wont even need them cuz you will out poke you opponent so hard he wont be able to do anything). And again unlike doran items it doesn't slow down you build and its the upgraded to Tear of the Goddess.
You could start with boots and 3 potions but i start with boots only when I know I will face someone like Karthus or Cassiopeia. But again in most games you won't need those potions so advantage of boots isn't as good on Urgot as on most others champions. BUY Boots of Speed AFTER tears of goddess!!!!!!
in your 1st trip back you should buy this and Boots of Speed if you have money. With this item your mana problems are over and you will soon upgrade it to Manamune. If you are doing extremely well and have gold for Manamune BUY IT. Skip Boots of Speed and buy them in next tripe back.
Core Items
This is your 1st big item. Its built from tears of goddess so you mana problems are alredy over and this item will boost your AD As you will get more mana trough the game more AD you will have. You can build up its passive quickly by last hitting minions with Acid Hunter so its passive bonus 1000MP will be finished in about 15-20 min after you bought tears of goddes/ Manamuneand its provide +20AD which is nice. With full build (3789 MP) its passive will give you +76AD with base stats +20AD =+96AD which is 4 less then farmed The Bloodthirsterbut for 890GP less and you wont lose any AD by dieing (you shouldn't die but is happens). Who would say no to Manamune? Note: Some guides says to sell you Manamune in late game but don't do that cuz you will run out of mana in the middle of a teamfight and +96AD is really nice. (you don't have big mana problems in the late game but you mana still run out and 99% there is one in team that need blue buff more then you do).
Upgrade your boots after you buy your Manamune. 25Mr and 35 Tenacity, boots that goes on any champion. You can take [Ionian Boots of Lucidity] too but from Frozen Heart, The Brutalizer and masteries you have 35.9%CDR and you need it only 25%CDR for 4 shots of Acid Hunter in 1 Noxian Corrosive Charge. Even if you in late game sell The Brutalizer you have 25.9%CDR which is enough for combo.
Pretty cheap item that give you nice AD boost and even more important it gives you 10%CDR and 15Arp. Buy it mainly for CDR and early Arp you cant skip it but its one of most price-efficiently item in game. Sell it in late game and buy one item from Optional Items list eg. The Bloodthirster or another defensive item depending from game you currently playing in.
One of may favorite items in game! +40AD and 40%Arp! Damage from this item is higher them from The Bloodthirster and cuz Acid Hunter doesn't scale very well in late game (0.85 per AD isn't so great in late game), works Arp so great on Urgot. And you will be able to kill tanks like they have no armor.
Optional items
Another great item for Urgot. 500MP will give +10AD from Manamune, 99Ar will make you whey more tanky and its passive (20% attack speed reduction for nearby enemies) is great for role of anti-carry= Urgot. But you can skip this item if enemy team doesn't have many AD carries. (was listed in core items cuz works perfectly on Urgot but i removed it cuz if enemy team doesn't have many AD its efficient drops almost to zero.
This item is good on Urgot too but i prefer [Frozen Heart]] (in most cases I take both). It gives you 375MP(7.5 AD cuz of Manamune), 375 HP which makes you more durable and 50Mr. But item is so good cuz of its passive to block one spell every 30 sec. Same as Frozen Heart you can skip it if enemy team doesn't have many AP carries.
Another defensive item which gives you 68Ar and 38Mr and its great if you are facing balanced team. And it has great passive too! Upon death it revives you with 750HP and 350MP. Its just so great. Note that passive have 5 min CD and when you die and you have its passive in CD you can sell it and buy another thing(if you have too much money-being too fed) eg. The Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer or Warmog's Armor, Frozen Mallet. But you will still see the CD of Guardian Angel even if you sold it. If you don't like Guardian Angel buy one thing listed on ''Other viable items'' list. Its just my personal preference it isn't nothing better on Urgot then any other champion.
Other viable items
]Nice damage and life steal is never bad. You can sell your The Brutalitzer and buy The Bloodthirster instead of it. But I suggest to buy it only when you have full build.
Another damage item you can buy in late game but i don't like it much on Urgot cuz whit this build you don't normal attack much.
If you don't buy Frozen Heart or Banshee's Veil(read above) you can go for Warmog's Armor but usually I buy The Bloodthirster instead. Buy it if your team hasn't good tank or you think you are to squishy.
Buy it for the same reasons as Warmog's Armor. With Frozen Mallet you will get less HP but it will boost you AD. I suggest Warmog's Armor cuz 700 more HP from Warmog's Armor is better then +20AD from Frozen Mallet. And you already have your own slow so you don't need one from Frozen Mallet.
Game play
Early game is where Urgot really shine. Take mid if you can cuz on side lain it will be harder to farm and its much easier to harass your opponent on mid lain. Till level 2 play defensive, don't engage your opponent and try to farm as much as you can. When you reach level 2 you learn Noxian Corrosive Charge. Now is time to start harassing your opponent. Tag him with Noxian Corrosive Charge and lunch 3 Acid Hunter after him. In 90% cases they will run and you will have easy job last hitting minions. At level 4 you will learn Terror Capacitor and your job to out-poke your opponent will become even easier. At this point if you are doing well you should have 1 or more kills. Don't worry if he escaped you if he went back or he is staying at his turret with low hp he wont get full EXP and won't be able to get last hits.

Our Little Secret-Part One
Summary: After a hunt and quite a few drinks the boys learn that you aren't as 'experienced' in one department as they thought you were. Dean thinks he can rectify that
Characters: Dean, Sam, Reader
Pairings: Dean x Reader
Square Filled/Kink: Oral Fixation for @spnkinkbingo
Word Count: 4700
Warnings: Smut, oral (male and female receiving), insecure reader, language
A/N: Thank you so much for reading. This is the first part of what I hope is a lengthy and smutty series. Any feedback is always appreciated. This is also for @emilywritesaboutdean and @wheresthekillswitch 's Do It Like TFW Challenge (The gif is near the bottom)
A thank you to my beta @ayeronda for betaing at an ungodly hour and being so wonderful.
It's been a long ass day and an even longer hunt. You were more than happy to be sitting on Dean's bed in the boys' motel room, sipping on your second, or maybe it is the third beer. And that was just here, it wasn't counting the four or five shots you had had down at the bar. So now you were here and Sam was riding Dean hard about his strikeout at the bar.
"Dude, you were never going home with her."
"She doesn't know what she's missing out on."
You can't help but chuckle, "What? Two whole minutes?"

Hello, My family of six will be spending the night in Tarrytown this Saturday.
We were hoping to find somewhere within the main street area (or near the water?) that serves good food (all nationalities are of interest) but will not be put out that we are A) a family with kids, one of whom is five, and B) Will, if they don't have a children's menu, at least be willing to offer one serving such as plain pasta or unadorned salad. We'd like to avoid bar food and the like. Except for the littlest one we are pretty adventurous eaters.
This may seem like overplanning, but I have no idea what Tarrytown is like and have had too many experiences in restaurants who really did not want kids but were too polite (?) to say so to our face.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank You!

Press Release
Press Release: Community Groups in Fort Collins and Greeley Partner with Researchers to Help Understand the Public Health Impacts of Oil and Gas Development
Citizens for a Healthy Fort Collins and Weld Air and Water, long-time public health advocates on the Front Range, are excited to announce that they have joined with academic researchers in Colorado on a new project, Research in Service of Communities: Demystifying, Communicating, and Incorporating Public Health Research on Energy Development project, known as the RISC project. The RISC project is a collaborative partnership among community and academic public health researchers, funded by the Colorado Clinical &Translational Sciences Institute. Together, these groups will work to translate and share with the public, findings from peer-reviewed research on the health impacts of unconventional oil and gas (O&G) development in Colorado.
"This collaboration is an innovative way to involve communities in the projects and findings of researchers engaging in academic health studies," said Bob Overbeck, communications consultant for Citizens for a Healthy Fort Collins.
"Weld Air and Water is excited to look at quality of life, biomarkers of stress and assist with the design, recruiting, and interpretation of the results" said Carl Erickson of Weld Air and Water. "I am delighted to be partnering with these groups. Community researchers are essential for conducting relevant research on O&G in Colorado. " said Dr. Lisa McKenzie lead academic researcher at the Colorado School of Public Health.
The RISC project will work with the Quality of Life and Biomarkers in Communities Study, also known as the QBC study. The nonpartisan QBC study is funded by a federal grant awarded to Colorado School of Public Health researchers by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The distribution 700 surveys to Greeley and Fort Collins households marked the first phase in the two-year, multi-phase, interdisciplinary QBC study conducted by researchers from Colorado State University and the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. The goal of this part of the study is to help communities better understand how citizens' daily lives are affected by O&G production. The second phase will soon be recruiting individuals from both communities to participate in an evaluation of their physiologic responses to their environment.
Professor John Adgate of CU, who leads the multidisciplinary study team, stated, "There is a shortage of research on what happens, in both communities and individuals, when oil and gas development occurs. Our goal is to provide communities and other stakeholders with rigorous research that will help address concerns of area residents about the impacts of O&G production."
Dr. Stephanie Malin, a Colorado State University sociologist and lead social scientist on the study, said: "I am thrilled to conduct community-based, participatory public health research. We have been using validated instruments to measure community members' quality of life, stress levels, and perceptions of industry – and our sustained collaborations with community members will help us understand even better the nuanced interactions between people's daily lives and O&G production."

|Hong Kong
|Largest city
|Hong Kong
|Cantonese, English, Portuguese, Chinese
Hong Kongese Macanese
|Hong Kong-Macau Dollar
Hong Kong was ceded to the British Empire in 1841 following Opium Wars. The colony would serve as stopping point for Western ships traveling to China for the next 100 years. During the Second World War, Hong Kong was bombed and invaded on Christmas Day 1941 and subsequently liberated at the end of the war. After the defeat of the nationalist forces in the Chinese Civil War, many mainland Chinese took refuge in Hong Kong. Despite the United Kingdom recognizing the People's Republic of China, there were still tensions ongoing with the PRC on the case of abduction of Hong Kong citizens in China.
Macau, just situated to the west of Hong Kong, was a Portuguese colony and one of it's last colonies in the Far East.
While sparred from the bombs that hit the mainland, both Hong Kong and Macau lost contact with their mother nations.
Great Nuclear War
Hong Kong, consisting of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, quickly set about with reforms to allow itself to survive. However, by 1963, tensions had been built after a rogue PLA unit, without orders from the Central Military Commission in Beijing, begun raiding the local area, frequently taking supplies from Kowloon. Although the British Overseas Forces managed to chase them out of the territory, the drain resources and manpower put a strain on the local defenders as casualties mounted. Without the military to fight these, Hong Kong leaders met with the Commander of the unit in 1964. Discussions began, and a loose agreement was made: The PLA Unit would defend and assist Hong Kong, and in return Hong Kong would house and give supplies to the unit.
Over time, this arrangement evolved into the Unit becoming more of an official army, with local residents joining the army. By 1968, Hong Kong began to expand slightly into the mainland. The territory continued to do so over the next 7 years.
Contact with Macau and Hainan
However, in 1975, contact was made with the City of Macau. Macau was barely surviving, and was often attacked by marauding PLA units. The leaders of the two cities met, and after a week of discussions, a decision was made: Macau and Hong Kong would unite for the Commonwealth of these two nations and the pooling of resources. On the 23rd July, the Commonwealth of Hong Kong and Macau was declared. This new nation consolidated its power, while expanding slightly to the mainland, and establishing territory to connect them.
On 19th February 1987 a small Hong Kong-Macau landed on Hainan, which had collapsed into chaos since the Great Nuclear War. Originally the waters around the Island protected it from refugees, but it also prevented supplies and trade. By 1987 order was scarce and the population had fell dramatically. The only semblance of governance was in the capital city of Haikou. Hong King-Macau immediately aided Hainan, and met with the leaders of Haikou. With many discussions lasting almost two weeks, it was decided that Hong Kong-Macau forces would land in Hainan and assist Haikou in asserting control over the island, and in return Hainan would become a part of the Commonwealth. This was intended to be a temporary measure.
A New Republic
Discussions between many parties lasted the remainder of 1987, and it was eventually decided a new form was needed for the country. On the 1st January 1988, the Republic of the Pearl Delta was proclaimed, officially the Republic of Zhusanjiao. The new state, still based in Hong Kong, was somewhat decentralised, and was warmly received.

More students equals good news for DL
The Detroit Lakes School Board got a little dose of holiday cheer at Monday's board meeting, courtesy of Acting Superintendent Lowell Niklaus and Business Manager Ted Heisserer.
With district enrollment counts starting to stabilize for the year, Niklaus reported that early projections of a substantial boost in kindergarten numbers have held true. Not only that, but enrollment for grades 1-5 is also up significantly.
As of December, kindergarten enrollment is up 20 students from last year, and there are also 30 more students enrolled in grades 1-5 than initially projected.
"Our enrollment counts are holding," Niklaus said. "The numbers are quite good compared to what we had anticipated."
And that enrollment boost has translated into dollars. According to Heisserer, revised 2006-07 budget figures show that the district's general fund balance is now $153,831 in the black -- as in, total general fund revenues are now projected to exceed expenditures by nearly $154,000.
In May, the surplus of projected revenues over expenditures was much smaller, at $10,204 -- "which is, in essence, a balanced budget," Heisserer noted.
Though the increased general fund balance was good news, Heisserer also reported that preliminary data shows some cost containment measures will need to be taken by the end of the 2006-07 school year in order to balance the 2007-08 budget.
Part of the reason for this is that despite the upward trend in enrollment for 2006-07, the district is still anticipated to lose a total of 100 students in the next three years.
In other business, the school board:
Gave final approval to the district's 2006, payable 2007 certified property tax levy.
The final certified levy of $3,175,151 is unchanged from preliminary figures approved in September, Heisserer noted. It reflects an 8.77 percent overall increase from the previous year's levy.
Approved a contract with Kern, DeWenter Viere, Ltd., for conducting the 2006-07 school audit, at a cost of $13,750.

Hailuogou - Moxi
National parks, Chinese style.
Photo left: Hailuogou Glacier and 7500-meter Gongga Shan
April 13-14, 2002
April 13
My driver stopped in front of some place in Moxi he claimed was a guesthouse but I certainly would never have known it as one. He said he was staying there and I should too, but it didn't look like anything I wanted and I saw no reason why I should reward him with a free stay by paying up to stay there. So despite his and a few others' efforts to get me to stay, I grabbed my bags and with a steady chant of "xie xie, bye bye, xie xie" I walked away.
Lonely Planet has no idea what Moxi looks like. They describe it is a one-street village. So I assumed I was on that one street and began looking for some sort of lodging resembling their descriptions. One place sounded rather promising, Luyou Fandian, and located next to a Catholic Church - Moxi really does have one! - it should be easy to find. So I began walking up the hill looking for a Catholic Church or the Luyou Fandian. But all I saw were shophouses and large hotels that were no doubt looking for large Chinese tour groups to come their way. I'm not large, Chinese, or a tour group so I kept walking until I reached the top of the hill and a road junction where the road turns left to Hailuogou Glacier Park and right, well, to somewhere.
To the left are a couple of large hotels and to the right are some restaurants, shops, a guesthouse of some sort, and another street. That makes three streets. And continuing straight I encounter another crossroads. This makes four streets. Lonely Planet describes Moxi as a "one-street village". I'm counting four streets, three in one direction and one bisecting the trio. Like I said, Loney Planet has no idea what Moxi looks like.
The middle street seemed most likely to be the one street LP thinks Moxi has so I start wandering up and then down searching for the Luyou Fandian. It's also past 2:00 p.m. and I haven't eaten yet. After a few missteps I finally locate the Catholic Church. But I don't see anything that looks like a guesthouse so I wander in on one side and ask if anybody knows anything about a Luyou Fandian. Nobody knows what I'm talking about. So I walk to the other side of the church and again inquire as to whether there's a Luyou Fandian about. Nobody knows what I'm talking about. I decide that LP doesn't know what it's talking about either so I stuff the book deep into my bag, start back up the hill and enter the first decent looking place.
The name was a Hi-Lo something or other. It seems almost every hotel in Moxi is some variance of the syllables Hai, Luo, and Gou. Actually, it's the place Lonely Planet refers to as the Ho Fandian, I know this because the phone number (326-6296) in the guidebook matched the phone number on the hotel's sign. But the sign definitely did not say Ho Fandian. This hotel was not as LP described except for the rooftop terrace, however, in LPs defense, it was also apparent the hotel had just been renovated and expanded (actually some work wasn't even finished yet). But as it's obvious the town has built several roads, a dozen hotels, and possibly the glacier in the park has moved a few hundred meters since LP last bothered checking this place out, it should be no surprise then, that this information is as inaccurate as everything else.
In any event, my best bargaining skills could only get a Y100 room down to Y90, but it was a nice room with a very comfortable bed, en suite facilities and 24-hour hot water. No complaints here.
At this point it's getting close to 3:00 p.m. and I still haven't eaten, so I stumble into some dumpling shop across the street run by a very nice plump middle-aged woman and wolf down a double order of dumplings and a big plate of fried bread, paying Y7 for it all.
Belly full, I wander over to the park entrance just for a look, not really planning on going in the park yet. I stand around looking a little confused for no apparent reason. It's not like I could walk in, Hailuogou Glacier was about 30 kilometers inside the park. As experience has taught me, standing around looking bemused and/or confused is often an effective way to receive assistance in China, though the help and the subsequent result can sometimes turn out to be anything but what you expected. Sure enough, a half dozen Chinese tourists traveling together beckon me their way tossing me into a van with them and a smiling tour guide - a young woman of maybe 22 who speaks just enough English to sometimes make herself understood. The others speak virtually no English at all but seem more than happy with the novelty of having a lone western tourist in their midst.
Heading into the park, relieved of the Y120 entry fee (50 for the bus - mandatory it would seem, and 70 for the park admission) myself and my fellow passengers communicate as well as possible (I do carry a phrasebook so I can make myself understood at a very rudimentary level and I do know a smattering of Mandarin), dispensing with the usual formalities - where I'm from, job, marital status, opinion of China and Chinese people, etc.
For the ride we are surrounded by soaring snow-capped 6000+ meter peaks on a spectacularly clear day as we make our way up and into the park (the climb is from about 2000 or so meters to 3200 at the top). An hour later and we reach the cable car station. The only legal way now to reach the viewing area for the glacier and views of 7500-meter Gongga Shan is to ride this cable car. Trekking is now forbidden and they do seem to make some effort to prevent anyone from trying it.
But it's 4:30 pm and the cable car isn't running. A discussion ensues between tour guide and fellow passengers, none of which I can understand save for common sense and context. It's clearly displeasure being voiced by the tourists and apologies and explanations from the tour guide. We head back down, stopping at one of the camps where there is a hot spring and a hotel. We all get out. I figure we're here to visit the hot spring and the glacier gets saved for tomorrow. No, we're here to stay in the hotel. I already have a hotel. I paid for it and my bag and everything else is there. And it's in Moxi.
Tour Guide is confused. So is the foreign tourist. In the parking lot is another van which Tour Guide says is heading out which I go to board to leave the park. Tour Guide escorts me. I try to ask whether or not I'll have to pay the admission and bus fee again (seeing as the tourists staying in the park would not have to). Commence communication failure mode.
Lucky for me, there's a young couple in the van; husband speaks near flawless English, wife speaks very good English. Communication restored. Husband talks with Tour Guide and I'm told I will indeed have to pay again tomorrow. Tour Guide looks distressed. I speak to husband who speaks to Tour Guide and tells her for me that I'm not upset with her and there's no problem (actually there is a problem, I'm going to have to pay another Y120 to get in and I'm none too pleased about it, but it really wasn't her fault). Tour Guide looks relieved, apologies profusely, and her omnipresent smile is restored. Meanwhile, I pray for another clear day. LP claims Gongga Shan is under rain some 200 days a year. But seeing as they know doodly-squat about Moxi, why should I believe them? Anyway...
I leave. But I make two new friends in Felix and Jenny, the English speaking couple on the van, presently on a holiday from their home in Shanghai. We chat all the way down the mountain. I then meet a few more of their friends who all decide to check into the same hotel as me and I'm treated to a lively dinner with them. Stimulating conversation on cultural, social, and political differences between US and China from American and Chinese perspectives (Felix has been to the US a few times further enlightening the conversation), interspersed with assorted verbal nonsense takes us through dinner. Then four of us, Felix, Jenny, myself, and one of their other friends take a stroll through town. Felix and the other man go off star gazing while Jenny and I continue the more serious talk of US-Chinese differences which, when coming from an educated, well-traveled Chinese, I find extremely enlightening.
The following morning they would make their way to Chongqing and back to Shanghai and I would take a second stab at Hailuogou.
April 14
After about an hour and a half we finally reach the cable car. Now, you'd think if you purchased an admission ticket to Hailuogou that the cable car ride would be included? It's not. But seeing as they don't allow any other way of reaching the glacier viewing platform, what do you do? You buy the ticket. And you even have the option of buying a one-way or round-trip. But it's not much of an option when it's the only legal way to and from the glacier. Though actually, people do get away with walking, and there are guys working in the open that'll toss you on a chair and carry you up there for almost as much as the cost of a cable car ticket, but as far as I could tell, the 'proper' way was by cable car.
And how much is that cable car ticket? Try Y160 return. That's right, Y160. If you want to see Hailuogou Glacier you're going to pay Y280 (70 admission, 50 bus, 160 cable car) for the privilege... and in my case Y400 because I entered the park twice.
The viewing platform is at 3600 meters and the views are indeed outstanding. There is not a cloud in the sky and above the glacier stands 7500-meter Gongga Shan with lesser 6000+ meter peaks flanking the sides.
Standing around looking at the view, I hear a familiar language, Thai. Hey I can speak this language! And I start chattering away at one or two surprised Thais who turn out to be part of a large group doing a whirlwind week-long tour of Sichuan. This week is a major holiday (Songkran) week in Thailand and one holiday I'm happy to get away from.
With snow around us and Thailand not having any, it was certainly a topic for conversation. I was speaking mostly in Thai (though several of the Thais spoke English quite well, they were more than happy to stick with their native tongue as my skills are strong enough for us to do so) unless it became necessary for me to say the Thai word for "snow", whereupon I'd stumble and falter and just say "snow" in English.
I turned to one of the men and said "pom glu-ah poot cam pasa Thai snow" (I'm afraid to say the Thai word for snow). He erupted in laughter and turned to a number of his companions telling them what I just said which they all thought was the funniest thing they'd heard all day.
You see, the Thai word for snow (he-ma) is not one you want to mispronounce. Using the wrong tones and one may end up saying a rather vulgar word for the female anatomy of, depending on how one mispronounces the second syllable, either a horse or a dog.
He then said to me that I shouldn't worry about it, for foreigners can get away with mispronouncing such things, but the Thais can't. But just to be sure he gave me a crash course in the proper pronunciation of the Thai word for 'snow' and I think I can now safely say the word without becoming "na dang" (red-faced).
After viewing the glacier and mountains for awhile and posing for photos with my new Thai friends and trying my best not to improperly say "pom yak gin he-ma" (I want to eat snow), I return to the bottom cable car station alone and start figuring out how to get out of here and ultimately back to Chengdu. But first I have to wait for a bus, and as usual, the buses are all taken over by large groups so I can't go anywhere until one of the groups (either my original group or the Thai group) turns up and I can slide onto a bus.
The Thai group arrives first and they pull me on board, but their bus is only going as far as the next camp, just a few kilometers below where they had spent the previous night. Knowing enough Thai, I understand the group leader telling everybody to eat lunch at the hotel, then check out and prepare for the bus ride back to Chengdu later that afternoon.
Reaching the hotel, the Thais hope I join them for lunch and having nowhere else to go, I oblige. Just as I'm about to enter the restaurant, the other bus pulls up and its tour guide jumps off and tries with more effort than I thought necessary to return me to my proper bus. I wasn't aware independent travelers were assigned buses here. I told him politely to buzz off, that there's a group of Thais here, I speak Thai, and I'm going to eat with them. Finally, after more discussion than there ever should have been, the tour guide acquiesces and the bus disappears down the mountain.
Lunch finished, my only way back to Moxi is by motorcycle as the buses, which I paid for, are all held by tour groups. I flag down a motorcycle, paying him additional money over the cost of the bus ticket I had already paid for, but owing to the transportation system here, wasn't practical for me to use. Heading down the mountain we pass my original bus parked off at another restaurant/hotel and I can only imagine how much more time I'd have wasted staying with them.
Now I need to vent a little bit. China has a problem. The problem is the management of its national parks. I realize that the overwhelming majority of tourists in China are domestic and if they are not already part of a group, will be happy to be made part of a group. That's the Asian way. But China does receive a number of international visitors who have no interest in being carted around a park in a bus full of package tourists stopping here and there for everyone to jump out and take a quick photo and only really spending time doing things like eating and shopping.
The whole reason I have not yet visited Jiuzhaigou National Park is because of this system of transport. But Hailuogou was just as bad. I realize they want to protect the parks and limit the damage that might be caused by thousands of people stomping through the wilderness, but if they are going to push all tourists onto buses, than they really need to have a system that allows people to move around the park where and when they want, and not where and when the tour group that has taken over most of the bus wants. This transportation system seriously inhibited my enjoyment of Hailuogou Glacier Park.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in the parish of Headon, which is in the diocese of Southwell in Nottinghamshire, or in the parish of Hedon, which is in the diocese of York in Yorkshire. The surname Hedden belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Hedden Early Origins
Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, where evidence suggests they held a family seat before the Norman Conquest.
Hedden Spelling Variations
Hedden Spelling Variations
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Hedden has undergone many spelling variations, including Heading, Headen, Headon, Hedding, Heddon, Hedon, Hedin, Hedden and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Hedden were among those contributors:
Hedden Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Hedden Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century

In this paper we consider the problem of fairly and efficiently scheduling Bags of Tasks applications on a distributed network of processors organized as a tree. The goal of scheduling is to maximize throughput of each application while ensuring a fair sharing of resources between applications. We particularly investigate decentralized schedulers that use only local information at each participating resource and we assess their performance via simulation, and compare to an optimal centralized solution obtained via linear programming.

Next, I gave them the opportunity to write in "secret":
Here are three examples of writing from a high, medium, and low kid.
Now I know that every writing piece can't be like this. Kiddos are going to have to write to a prompt. They are going to have to write about things they aren't always that interested in. But when you can get them interested other days, and grow their love for writing, it will carry over into days when they aren't as excited about the topic. :o)

Squee! I am so excited that you are here. You're beautiful, awesome and one of the best things that has happened since sliced bread. True story!
Now that I've showered you with some honest love, let me tell you a little bit about me. I'm Shay and I love Christmas so much that I listen to Christmas music year round.
My goal for 2016 is to be able to take off November and December completely (minus my funnels doing the work for me) so I can binge watch Hallmark Christmas movies and drink tea from my Christmas mug. If I can do that, that's what I'd like to call heaven on earth.
Okay, putting my obsessive love of Christmas (and fuzzy socks) aside, let's talk business and how I'm here to help you!
I've owned my own business since 2011 and I've worked from my home successfully since 2009. Not many can say that they've done that successfully, but I'm one of the lucky ones.
I'm also a mom (to 2 kids that are so gorgeous, I can't even believe I created them – see above), I guess you could call me a mompreneur BUT I might not answer to it because it isn't my favorite term. Yep, that's me giving you the stank face if you call me a mompreneur.
I like to think that I am a mom who has a really awesome business AND I get to enjoy my family and build my business ON MY TERMS.
My super fun areas of experience are mindset & personal growth, digital marketing and Facebook ads. I'd be Oprah and Michael Hyatt's love child if they had one. I am a bit outside of the zone of most of people who do the same "thing" as me. I'm not going to make you internet famous, I'm going to help you create a business that feels like home to you.
What does that mean? It means if you have a family (kids or no kids – close friends that are like family count too!) and your family is your priority, I'll help you use your mindset and your marketing to build a business AROUND your family NOT at the sake of your family and your precious family time.
We'll create strategies TOGETHER to grow your business in a way that makes you feel all fuzzy inside and then I'll hold your ass accountable to get it done. As far as we know, we only have one life that we live and it isn't meant to be doing a bunch of meaningless stuff that doesn't work for you or your business.
I guess you can call me a life & biz hybrid coach, doing it a bit different from anyone else. Sooooo if you're cool with different, I'm cool with it… let's find out how we can work together.

Maroon 5 - iTunes Festival 2014 Trailer (2014)
Inspired by grunge acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Mickey Madden and Adam Levine started jamming together as middle schoolers in a garage in Malibu, California – a partnership that sparked one of the most successful pop-rock outfits of the millennium. Turning out wildly catchy singles like Maps and Moves Like Jagger, Maroon 5 shifts effortlessly between R&B-influenced ballads, soaring pop anthems, and heart-racing dance-rock. The guys and I are excited to be part of this year's iTunes Festival. It's an amazing Festival and we are really looking forward to performing alongside so many great artists. Adam Levine, Maroon 5

All I've Got Trailer (2002)
01 January 2002
A 72-year-old grandmother dies and finds herself on a ferry which will take her across the river to the hereafter. On the ferryboat she meets her first love, who was killed in a road accident in which they were both involved when they were young. She is presented with a fateful choice: to start life afresh as a 22-year- old - her age at the time of the accident - and to relinquish all her memories of the life she has lived; or to remain a 72-year-old woman with all her life's memories intact.

Imagine: You are a little kid and cannot communicate to your family even though they are standing right in front of you. That was the reality for one girl who turned this experience into an award-winning show.
"Listen... Can You Hear Me Now?" will be on the stage for two nights at Merseles Studio. Jersey City Theater Center will host it as part of the Disruption series.
This autobiographical, one-person show tells the story of what it is like being the child of deaf adults, also known as CODA. The writer, Gloria Rosen, will also be performing the show under the direction of Suzanne Bachner.
Rosen grew up in a home with two deaf parents who refused to let her talk in or learn sign language. With this performance, she shows the struggle of living between the hearing and deaf worlds while also trying to find her own voice and identity.
The show is making its debut in New Jersey after traveling to different festivals, including the New York International Fringe Festival and the United Solo Theatre Festival, where it won the award for "Best Autobiographical Script." Along with that, it was also awarded the 2016 Best of Hollywood Fringe.
JCTC is staging this performance as part of the Disruption series. This series is meant to bring topics global in scope to the community in a way they can relate.
"Listen... Can You Hear Me Now?" will be performed on May 20 from 8 to 10 p.m. and on May 21 from 4 to 6 p.m. After the show, there will be an Artist Talkback to give the audience a chance to speak with Rosen about the show. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students and senior citizens with proper ID. There will also be an ASL interpreter at the performance.Merseles Studio is located at 339 Newark Ave. in Jersey City. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to jctcenter.org.

Shanna Trenholm is a writer, brand visionary and creative catalyst who helps businesses and creative entrepreneurs find their voice, communicate their message to their adoring fans (or future fans), and build the satisfying life and work they dream of. Today, she's taking us behind the scenes of what it was like taking the leap into self-employment.
Where it all began
I was working a full-time job (as Director of Development for a nonprofit literacy organization) where I was required to fundraise through grant writing. I had to learn the ropes of this particular form of writing on the job. I had been writing since I could remember (it was always my first interest and love) so I took to grant writing with ease.
I was having success winning grant awards for the organization. Colleagues would ask me about my methods. Eventually, someone asked me if I wrote grants for other organizations. I didn't, but I said that yes, I could and would. That was the start of my side gig, which eventually eclipsed my day job and started me on the path to self-employment.
I always dreamed of being a writer, making a living through words, and I'm doing just that! I've been running my writing and branding consultancy for more than a decade now and I can't imagine doing anything else.
Sometimes I have to Pinch Myself
I look forward to designing my workflow and workday the way I want to and in accord with what my body, and my clients, need. There are no typical days in my business and I like that.
I am surprised sometimes at how much educating I do. I get hired to be a writer and brand strategist, but often clients aren't really sure what they need. So, I end up being an educator first — then I can get down to the writing once the client is up to speed with what they actually need.
When working on a creative project, like naming a hotel or restaurant, or writing web copy for vegan gelato, I have to pinch myself that this is what I get to do. I work with fantastic creative clients to help them define their brands and hone their voice — it's really like play for me, the creative writing aspect of my business.
Even after all the years I have been doing this, it's still exciting to collaborate with clients and hear them say that I really understand them and their businesses. There's nothing like delivering more than the client expected. It's gratifying work.
Risk… The Calculated Kind
I've always been entrepreneurial, so it wasn't much of a surprise to people close to me. Some of my friends and family were concerned, but most were supportive.
There were the usual naysayers — those who thought it was crazy to leave a steady paycheck and benefits for the insecure world of self-employment. I have a fairly high tolerance for risk, but calculated risk. I didn't leap without money in the bank.
I worked my side gigs for two years while maintaining a full time job. I knew what I was getting into, and nothing that anyone would say could change my mind. I'm just not cut out to work in a traditional employment setting.
Burnout vs. The Big Picture
There was a time early on in my business when I lost a major client. This client made up 75% of my income. When they stopped my contract, I panicked. It was a huge financial loss. But I never thought of throwing in the towel because I am just not cut out for doing anything other than working for myself.
I now know that lean times will come and go and I manage those times with more finesse. I also have greater resources and a strong referral network, so I don't feel like I'd ever be in such a dire situation like that again.
My biggest challenge has been burnout. When you are self-employed, even if you have others working for you, you are still responsible for all the daily ins-and-outs of running a business.
I like to keep good records, but that takes a lot of time. Then there's the constant marketing and keeping my name out in front of potential clients and just staying on top of the workload itself. The key is to stay positive and take the long view — that's how I combat burnout.
So Many Hats
I participate in education opportunities and conferences to keep my skills sharp and my connections current. Everything I do, whether reading, writing for publications, or participating in cultural activities is a business investment. Being curious about and engaged with the world makes me a better writer and collaborator.
I don't think most people realize how hard it is to start a business — especially in the beginning. You have to wear so many hats. You're the service provider, the marketing team, the bookkeeper, etc. I also think that people don't understand money or have enough of a cushion set aside when they start.
The best things a person who wants to try self-employment can do are to assess their strengths and invest in the areas where they are weak. Hire a bookkeeper. Have a pro design a website. Hire a copywriter! In an effort to save money, people often take shortcuts that can be detrimental for their brand. Focus on what you do well, and get help to do the things that are not your strong suit.
As told to our Community angel, Madeleine Forbes.
Over to you
Running a business involves so much more than sharing our talent – it means wearing lots of other hats, too. How do you stay on top of all the roles in your business, and how do you decide when to get help? This is something we all come across – I'd love to know your experience in the comments below.
