Are you addicted to your iPhone and is it screwing up your life?
19th Mar 2010 | 12:40
Gaming and mobile addiction explained by the experts
Life as an app-oholic
Do you reach for your iPhone first thing before giving your wife a good morning kiss? Do you spend more time looking at your shiny new 3GS in bed than reading one of the growing pile of great books next to you? Do you get more excited about new apps than you do about new albums?
I do. To my shame. My name is Adam. And I am an App-oholic.
I first developed signs of this impending addiction early last year, when I finally kowtowed and bought myself an iPhone 3G. At the time I wasn't entirely sure why I wanted one, other than thinking it would be useful to be able to get online now and then to use Google Maps. And to check my Gmail. And to play Super Monkey Ball, of course.
Soon enough I had, I thought, exhausted the fun to be had downloading the numerous free apps from the App Store, 99 per cent of which were either a complete waste of time or, at best, a fun diversion for a few minutes. Party trick gimmicks.
APP-OHOLIC:Is the iPhone the most addictive gadget yet?
But then I installed the superb RSS reader NetNewsWire, which I use constantly for staying on top of technology and gaming news feeds for work. And then I started idly checking out Twitter via Tweetdeck…
A few weeks later I found myself having a heated conversation with a colleague in a pub about the relative merits of the new Tweetie (£1.79) over Tweetdeck (free, but not as good). By that point, I realised that I was already lost…
Gadget and gaming addiction
I have managed to devise a number of cunning coping strategies to manage my iPhone use (I switch it to silent in the cinema and I make sure I'm not obviously looking at it when my wife is directly addressing me), but gadget and gaming addiction really is no laughing matter.
Technology is making too many people more fearful and anxious than ever before, while increasing numbers of teenagers and young people spend way too much of their time sitting alone in their bedrooms playing videogames and updating Facebook, creating fun and cool online personas for themselves, at the expense of their real-life ones beyond the screens.
CONNECTIVITY DISORDER:Do you suffer 'disconnect anxiety'?
TechRadar spoke with a number of experts in the areas of games, internet and mobile phone addiction to find out more about some of the key issues at stake.
"This is a psychological addition, which is the need to engage in an activity of some kind," according to Dr. Nigel Holt, Author and Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Bath Spa University. "It's a compulsion. I wouldn't be at all surprised if addiction to gadgets such at iPhones or Blackberries might not cause similar feelings as addictions to other things.
"Those addicted to gambling, for instance, show withdrawal just as do those addicted to smoking, so imagine how those addicted to gadgets must feel when they leave their iPhone at home by accident."
Holt thinks a major problem is that "gadgets are all around us now" likening this to "how someone addicted to smoking feels every time they see someone light up, or when they see things they associate with smoking, like matches, or ashtrays" which, in psychology, is called 'cue-reactivity' where something associated with the addiction makes us feel withdrawal from it.
Does new technology improve your life?
"The assumption that new technology ultimately improves the quality of daily life is not proven," argues Northampton Business School's Professor Nada Kakabadse, author of recent book Technology Overload: Explaining, Diagnosing and Dealing with Techno-Addiction. (Go here for a PDF download).
"Indeed there is increasing evidence that it destroys as many valuable customs as it supports," she adds. "Yes, new ICT enables businesses to communicate globally in seconds, but it also eats into valuable time in countless transactions with little benefit emerging."
TECHNO-ADDICT:People work harder to keep their jobs (pic courtesy: Kakabadse)
In a recent study, Kakabadse interviewed 360 knowledge workers from a variety of UK and US organisations and concluded that around two thirds suffered from technology overload, while one third exhibited 'techno addiction'. She highlighted the following signs of technology addiction to watch out for:
- Over use of ICT or gadgets to the exclusion of other activities
- Prolonged concentration on ICT-related activities, often ignoring warnings from others of excessive time spent online and
- 'Connectivity disorder', involving checking for messages or sending trivial texts just to feel 'connected.'
On the flip side, many argue that technology allows us to be more productive and to multi-task better than ever before, yet Kakabadse sees dangerous "cognitive and emotional switching costs" incurred with this.
"Humans can only cope with only seven or so tasks simultaneously," she argues, "whereas electronic gadgets are limited only by their processor speed. Within such a context individuals are increasingly overloaded by a bombardment of communication."
Work-play boundary blurring
There is an increased blurring of the boundaries between using your gadgets for work, and using them for personal pleasure and play. There is also, as Kakabadse identifies in her book, "the parallel pressure to express oneself individually through technology – to make statements about status, or hold conversations which forge new friendships or sexual relationships."
The combination of persuasive marketing messages from the likes of Apple combined with peer pressure to not want to feel left out adds to the many pressures from work-based commitments - what Kakabadse refers to as "glorifying a 24/7 work and response pattern, especially via the internet, accelerated by the leadership of increasingly 'techno-savvy' executives who want greater efficiency from technology."
Or, put simply, fear of failure.
These are the pressures that lead to what is referred to as 'techno-stress' or 'Information Fatigue Syndrome' (IFS), "the extreme strain people feel when their personal space is increasingly invaded by ICT innovation. Peace and quiet is irrecoverable."
Kakabadse asks us one key question: "Where does the geekdom stop and the techno-addiction start?"
Stanford University iPhone study
Stanford University recently carried out some research into the phenomenon of iPhone addiction, in which Professor Tanya Luhrmann and her team of researchers interviewed 200 college students in a survey to find out more about their iPhone use and habits.
Somewhat worryingly, on a scale of one to five, where five is full blown addiction and one is not addicted at all, ten per cent of the respondents ranked themselves as a five, while 32 per cent who said they weren't completely addicted were worried that they soon may be.
ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOURS:1 in 10 said they considered themselves addicts
Other telling figures from that survey show that 85 per cent use the iPhone as their watch, 89 per cent use it as an alarm clock, 75 per cent fall asleep with the phone next to them and 69 per cent were more likely to leave their wallet behind. 41 per cent said that losing their iPhone would be tragic and 30 per cent said it was a "doorway into the world."
Most intriguingly is the way in which the students talk of the affections they have for their iPhone, talking about the device as if is an extension of their own bodies. 9 per cent have patted the iPhone; 3 per cent don't let anybody touch their iPhone; 3 per cent have named their iPhone; 8 per cent thought their iPod was jealous of their iPhone. And so on.
Not an unhealthy addiction
What is slightly encouraging is the fact that Professor Luhrmann doesn't think that it is necessarily an unhealthy addiction, more the fact that the students just like their iPhones a lot (74 per cent of respondents thought said it made them feel 'cool').
Following the recent research, Luhrmann also told TechRadar that while "internet addiction is a new category in the American psychiatric nosology (DSM5) and that while people use technology in ways that are detrimental, she did not interview people in ways that would make that clear, and there is always a complex line between health and illness.
"Do people use iPhones and email in ways that are detrimental to face to face relationships? Sure, and our data support that. Does email lead to depression or psychosis? That seems unlikely. Does email make us unhappy? For sure, and we are just at the beginning of understanding this complex relationship and the way that technology changes our moods and minds."
Addiction clinics open in the UK
It's not just hardware though. A new specialist treatment centre to offer private therapy to patients suffering from addiction to videogames opened its doors in London this month, highlighting the growing (and highly controversial) issue of teenagers and young people becoming problematically dependent on gaming and other technology at the expense of their real lives beyond the screen.
Capio Nightingale Hospital is described as central London's only independent mental health hospital, and is launching a dedicated Young Person Technology Addiction Service, following a recent survey that claimed 63 per cent of 11-18 year olds felt addicted to the internet and many spending up to 10 hours a day using computer and videogames.
GAMING ADDICTION:Capio Nightingale offers new treatment centre for problem gamers
"For young people who are developing so quickly both neurologically and physically, the risks [of internet addiction] are magnified with an increase in agitation, hyper-arousal, an inability to concentrate and, ultimately, depression," reads the press release issued to announce the opening of the new London facility.
The centre has coined the phrase 'screenagers' and has developed what it calls a "tri-partite programme which can be tailored to meet the patient's needs" ranging from intensive in-patient care to day care, group and individual therapy "to increase off-screen social activities and to develop strategies to cope with online problems, in particular issues around cyber bullying."
"Mental health services need to adapt quickly to the changing worlds that young people inhabit, and understand just how seriously their lives can be impaired by unregulated time online, on-screen or in-game," says Dr. Richard Graham, Lead Young Person's Technology Addiction Consultant at Capio Nightingale Hospital.
"We have found that many of the existing services fail to recognise the complexity of these situations, borrowing from older models of addiction and substance misuse to very limited effect."
Capio is not the first British treatment centre for gaming addiction, however. Broadway Lodge in Weston-Super-Mare was the first clinic in the UK to treat clients specifically suffering from addiction to videogames and online gaming. TechRadar spoke with Peter Smith, a counsellor who specialising in treatment for gaming addiction at the facility, to find out more about the work they do.
BROADWAY LODGE:The UK's first gaming addiction specialists
While gamers and the games industry generally scoff at the very idea that the games they love to play and create could be harmful to a minority of users, Smith tells stories of family members "with really quite sad stories of young people who have been lost to them because of gaming… young people who had a lot of potential to do very well."
He tells the story of one particular patient who was a Cambridge graduate and a PhD student in microbiology, who, after finishing his studies, "just drifted home and was at home spending all of his time playing games… his mother was utterly distraught and so she contacted us."
"We also had a lady from Spain recently, who emailed to say she and her family were desperate for some help for her son, who would spend all day and well into the early hours of the morning playing games non-stop."
Smith notes that there are multiple problems that result from such addictive behaviours, including health issues ("there was one instance of a chap becoming anorexic as a result of not eating, which became secondary to playing the game"), relationship difficulties and, in worst cases, complete family breakdowns.
"So they don't eat round a table together, and it is not unusual for a mother to take food up to their child's room so they can continue gaming. There is also strong resistance by the gamer to go to family gatherings – weddings, birthdays, funerals and the like."
However, Smith is in no way in denial about the positive pleasures that games can give to teens and young people, in addition to the opportunities to make online friends when playing MMOs such as World Of Warcraft.
"Many, many people play games and get a lot of pleasure out of it. We don't want to demonise it. Games gave them an opportunity to succeed and feel confident and communicate in a language that gives them a kudos that normal socialising wouldn't," he says, though in a small minority of cases there is the possibility "that this can become a downward spiral..if someone has a bit of self-consciousness then games can fill or replace that gap."
"But because you are playing more games then you don't get the opportunity to improve that in real life, to the point where it becomes quite difficult for you to feel confident about meeting people face to face."
Recovery strategies
Capio Nightingale Hospital asks problem gamers and potential tech addicts an initial 10 questions to help identify technology addiction, while Northampton University's Professor Nada Kakabadse thinks that ICT addiction has, to date, been treated by policy makers as "a kind of elephant in the room – everyone sees it but nobody wants to acknowledge it.
"If society is truly concerned with quality of life, then the need for serious discussion concerning the impact of ICT on employee work practises and work-life balance is now critical," she argues, stressing that there is an urgent need for new laws and regulatory policies to deal with the consequences of techno-addiction.
Kakabadse warns that, should the courts not recognise addiction to work-related technology as a compensable form of employer or manufacturer neglicence, they soon, issuing the stark warning to companies that: "The only guarantee is that ICT addiction and techno-stress are on the increase. It's best to deal with them before they deal with you."
And as for personal use of your iPhone or your 'CrackBerry', she adds: "Just think before you click! Before you send that next batch of emails or rush to connect with all those others [online]. Is this volume necessary? Could you connect in a more socially uplifting way?"

Mark Cuban: Living Your Best Deals at Any Age
Posted By Stacy Jenel Smith On October 7, 2013 @ 6:51 pm In Entertainment | Comments Disabled
[1]Give Mark Cuban credit for getting things done. He went from tapings of the hit ABC reality show Shark Tank to his long-awaited insider-trading trial last week (a civil suit involving a 2004 stock sale), purportedly dazzling admiring jury members, while still managing to keep up with myriad business demands. On top of it, he emailed fast answers to our questions. Here, the billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner, 55, shares his thoughts on living your best deals at any age.
Is 50 too late to have a big idea and get it going?
Hell no. I haven't done my best work yet
Talk about the Shark Tank [2] phenomenon. What is your take on why people are interested in watching other people pitch ideas?
We prove the American dream is alive and well. If the people who pitch can get there, so can anyone.
What does it take to be a good entrepreneur – including from the point of view of downsized former executives and other 50+ folks facing a tough job market. Is entrepreneurship a good alternative?
You have to be relentless. You have to focus on the inner twentysomething and find that intellectual energy and put it to use.
Talk about traits of winners - what are three "must haves"?
Willingness to learn
Willingness to sell
Sometimes on the show it looks like the rest of the sharks vs. Mark Cuban. True? What are your feelings about that and about them?
I try. I love the competition.
Are your kids showing signs of entrepreneurship?
Yes. I have all of them coming up with ideas and making them pitch me on why we should do certain family events over others. It's fun.
It's neat that you share your smarts and know-how on your blog [3]. Why do you do that?
I actually do it for me. I like to see what ideas are out there and see how people respond. It helps me learn.
What is people's most frequent misconception of you?
I'm short.
I yell a lot.
I answer every email.
Who's your toughest competition in the NBA and why?
Every team. It's not easy to win a championship.

Niagara Falls, N.Y. (WKBW)- At the stroke of midnight on Sunday night into Monday morning, the first gay couple will be married with Niagara Falls as the backdrop for the ceremony. The Marriage Equality Act will go into effect this weekend.
Gay Rights Activists and long time couple, Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd will finally tie the knot after years of waiting. The falls will be lit with the colors of the rainbow, representing the gay flag. Then on Monday at 10 a.m., there will be a group wedding, marrying more than 30 couples.
This historic event will also reinvent Niagara Falls as the premier marriage and honeymoon destination. Falls officials said the passage of the Marriage Equality Act will bring million of dollars a year to the falls and more than $400 million in state benefits.
The wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the Niagara Falls State Park on Luna Island. Senator Mark Grisanti will be in attendance. He was the politician whose vote for gay marriage was crucial in the passage of the bill.
There is a 24 hour waiting period from the time couples get their marriage license and taking the vows so Buffalo, Grand Island and Niagara Falls will open their clerks office early Sunday morning so people can be ready for Monday's ceremony.

c. The Ann Arbor NEWS
A University of Michigan student ousted from his dorm room and suspended
by President James J. Duderstadt after posting violent sex fantasies
about another student on the Internet expects to know by Monday if he can
return to class.
Jake Baker, a sophomore linguistics major, was suspended Thursday after a
campus investigation of his Internet submissions, especially a story that
named a female student in its title and in scenes of rape, torture and
Baker was not expelled - as was reported in The News Friday - but was
suspended by Duderstadt under a bylaw of the U-M Board of Regents that
allows the president to take emergency action to maintain order on
campus. Duderstadt's action included removing Baker from the
university computer system, barring him from university property and
changing the lock on his East Quad dorm room.
Duderstadt orders only one or two such suspensions per year, said David
Cahill, Baker's attorney.
In a letter delivered by campus police as Baker left a class on
Thursday, Cahill said, Duderstadt suspended Baker for the remainder of
the current winter term, and further stated that he can only be
reinstated by order of the president.
Baker and Cahill met Friday with university housing officials and made
an offer designed to keep Baker in school. If Baker is allowed to return
to classes and to keep his part-time job on North Campus, Cahill said,
the student is willing to follow several conditions, including:
- Following a university-prescribed counseling program.
- Signing in at classes or submitting to other monitoring.
- Living off campus and only coming onto campus to attend classes.
Baker said early Friday that he had met with campus and law enforcement
officials and had undergone psychiatric evaluation "to show them they had
no threat from me."
Cahill said John Heidke, associate director of student residence
operations, is expected to notify him of a decision by Monday.
"If they buy this," Cahill said, "then we would give up our right to a
formal hearing within seven days and let this thing work itself out more
Cahill said he didn't mention the possibility of reinstating Baker's U-M
computer account if he's allowed to return to class.
On Friday, calls to Heidke's office were referred to U-M spokeswoman
Lisa Baker, who said only that Jake Baker - no relation -is not a
student at U-M.
"Even if the person were a student at Michigan, "she added, "I wouldn't be
able to talk about student records because of FERPA."
The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act bars university
officials from discussing any student records.
The first complaint about Baker's story - which carried a disclaimer
that it contained "a lot of sick stuff" and was filed in an area
reserved for sex stories - was reportedly made by a U-M alumnus living
in Moscow. After reading the U-M computer address on the story, that man
contacted U-M computer officials.
The FBI also is looking into the matter to determine whether it violates
distribution of obscene material laws.
The Internet is a global computer network originally developed as a
U.S. Defense Department data storehouse. It was later taken over by
computer users on college campuses and is now the main strand of the
so-called "Information Superhighway."

Tottenham Hotspur announced that their new stadium could be open by the summer of 2017 if outstanding issues can be resolved quickly.
In a lengthy financial statement, posted on the club's website this morning, Tottenham have given some detail of the situation regarding the development of the proposed new stadium.
The Northumberland Development Project has been an on-going process for a number of years and as we know, Spurs have acquired a great deal of land around White Hart Lane to enable the club to build the new stadium. They have so far purchased all of the land needed for the development of the new stadium to replace White Hart Lane except for one property.
The club states that a Public Inquiry was held in April 2013 concerning that property and Tottenham are currently awaiting the decision of the Secretary of State, Eric Pickles, on the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO).
Over the past year Spurs has continued to work on the stadium finance plans with advice from their advisors, N M Rothschild.
If a decision regarding the CPO is reached in the near future and as long as the other 'major challenges associated with the stadium are manageable', the club expects to be putting the construction work out to tender later this year with the target date for completion and the opening of the new stadium being the summer of 2017.
Tottenham are working closely with the Government, the Greater London Authority and Haringey Council, to deliver the regeneration of Tottenham by creating jobs and improved facilities in the area.
There have been many delays and diversions on this lengthy journey towards a new stadium and hopefully Tottenham will be given the green light soon to enable the project to proceed.

One of the many things College gave me besides a degree is the courage to explore. To explore various paths and even create my own path through that journey. The courage that I have taken with me is detailed through the clothing I wear and the confidence is seen in the arch of my feet in my heels. I use these materials as not only self-expression but as a reminder that the path I take is my own and the clothes I choose make me fearless.

Ever since a baby was abandoned at the familys clinic and one of the Maitland men had been named its father, RJ decides that marriage will help his familys failing reputation. The best marriage candidate is his secretary, Dana Dillinger. What he doesnt know is that Dana has always been in love with him, and she would like the marriage to be real. In MARRIED TO THE BOSS (3) Lori Foster moves the continuing story along nicely, though she glosses over characters we have seen before and her motivations are a little weak.

Good Honeymoon Places You Should Go To
Once in a while, love comes and interferes to a man's and a woman's life. After a period of chasing, wedding soon follows and then of course the most awaited part, honeymoon, goes after.
Honeymoon, one of the most exciting moments in a life of a newlywed couple, deserves to be celebrated in a very romantic and passionate way in one of very good honeymoon places in the world.
There are, in fact, a lot of choices when it comes in choosing good honeymoon places for your first getaway as a couple. Each caters a unique way and great honeymoon packages for you to experience the real essence of honeymoon.
To give you a glimpse to some of the good honeymoon places where you could enjoy your first vacation, here are the lists below:
If both of you are ardent lovers of nature, then this place suits you. With its beautiful landscapes, abundant green forest, wide beaches, mesmerizing coves and wonderful sea plantations, you will be rejuvenated after tiresome wedding preparations. You could stay in a bungalow-inspired villa rooms, surrounded with stunning gardens or at the Sugar Beach Resort which is peacefully resting upon the craggy mountains with beach's panoramic view. Furthermore, you could be in Touessrok Hotel – set on a group of islands – that won multiple awards including 'Best Hotel in the World', and 'The World's Most Romantic. Months between August and December are the ideal periods to spend your honey in this marvellous land.
Are you a couple who seeks more than tropical beaches and all-inclusive resorts for your honeymoon? Then Jamaica, one of the good honeymoon places, offers a variety of choices. Nightlife here is very enjoyable. With its music and dances, Jamaica's passion, you will be overwhelmed with much pleasure as you dance together. You could also take satisfaction from its one of a kind cuisine, fabulous shopping areas and creative art forms. Good news is though the resorts are owned privately, most offer a less expensive fee to enjoy the private beach even for the whole day.
New Zealand
Do you want to explore how wondrous the world is as you celebrate your honeymoon? Through New Zealand's superb landscape, plentiful green forests, serene rivers, crystal-clear lakes, remarkable geyser, steaming mud, freezing snow-capped mountains, and enthralling beaches, you would surely be lulled to put higher romance and passion to your honeymoon. It gives many choices of refined wines and other local vintages and a variety of delicious food. You could do sports like skiing, golf, horse-back riding, jet boating, kayaking, rafting and even seaplane safaris. For the hotels to choose from, many offer great honeymoon packages coupled with a unique Kiwi hospitality.
Barbados, a flourishing island in the Caribbean, is one of the good honeymoon places. You could choose to stay in an oceanfront room to feel the breeze of the sea and if you love ocean picturesque seen as you glance in the window, you could be in an ocean view hotel with your own private pool. You could stay too in villas where West Indian culture and English tradition fuse. If you are fed up staying in the room, not far from most Barbados hotels, you could enjoy coffee time together. Or watch cricket, the island's national sport, jet skiing, wind surfing or even catamaran. Or you could swim with the sea turtles or even hire a vehicle to travel around the island together.
These are only some of the good honeymoon places to choose from and you should go to as you celebrate your romantic honeymoon you have ever dreamt of.

I have a thermal zone furnace #GU100M16B. The motor (part #902128) makes a buzzing type sound before the blower starts. Is this an indication the motor will be going out soon? There's also a run capacitor mounted on the side of the blower housing, can the sound have anything to do with it?

The Importance of Being Attractive
- Tuesday, April 03, 2012
Why? Because they each have something internally which makes them attractive—a passion for something of value, dedication to their life work, a positive attitude no matter the circumstance, a "big picture" outlook, belief in their abilities, trustworthiness, being true to themselves, resiliency, integrity, etc.
These characteristics do not "age" like physical attributes, but rather develop and mature over time.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight (1 Peter 3:3-4).
We are all commanded to "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news" (Mark 16:15), yet many of us struggle with trying to create opportunities and knowing how to share our lives with non-believers.
Several years ago while serving at church, I met someone who over the years has become one of my dearest and most trusted friends. What attracted me to her was not only her physical beauty, but also her zest for life, honesty, eternally positive attitude, encouragement and love for Jesus.
Over the thousands of miles and through the many seasons life has taken us, we have grown close through the sharing of our struggles and successes, praying for each other and our families, and discovering the depth of one another's heart.
As our friendship continues to develop even after so many years, I find her growing more attractive with each opportunity we get together because her inner beauty enhances her physical attractiveness. This is a quality that draws both believers and non-believers into her life and gives her the chance to share the Gospel.
Having a passion in life, living with excellence, believing in yourself and your abilities, being trustworthy, having a positive attitude, being true to yourself, encouraging others and living with and for Jesus will all help to make you attractive to those we should be impacting with God's Word.
Maybe if we spent more time working on being attractive internally rather than worrying about being attractive physically, we would be more successful in life and in doing God's work.
That's why I desire to have an attractive quality to my life.

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Cathy is a comic strip by Cathy Guisewite, which ran from 1976 to October 3, 2010. It revolves around the eponymous character's life as a single woman, her dealing with a stressful workplace, diets, junk food, being able to fit in swimwear, the dating scene, and an overbearing mother.In the 1970s (the age of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and the E.R.A.), a comic about a single young woman trying to make a career was new and innovative. The strip was extremely popular in its heyday, with many women readers readily identifying with the title character as she dealt with common problems of modern single life. A rumor in the 1980's that she was finally going to marry Irving sparked a lot of fan backlash from single women who didn't want to lose this character they could relate to. (Cathy finally did marry Irving in 2005, and the final strip in 2010 featured the announcement that Cathy was pregnant with a girl).These days, the strip is a frequent target of parody and Take Thats, owing to its repetitive nature, devotion to Men Buy from Mars, Women Buy from Venus, and general blandness. Pearls Before Swine and Liberty Meadows satirize the strip frequently, and the Comic Book Doctor wrote a lengthy article on what the strip does wrong.
This comic contains the following tropes:

CHEN XIAOYUN Sculpture Twenty-one Poems of Lenin, 2014 ShanghART Gallery, 香格纳画廊 Shanghai
With sculpture as its main line, the exhibition unfolds from a virtual proposition, Twenty-one Poems of Lenin. Twenty-one Poems originates from a non-ideological tale, in the end of which, a shepherd speaks to a cuboid: "I have made up my mind to be a silent object."
Works presented here follow Chen Xiaoyun's poetic narrative style, and extend from the most basic geometrical shapes to a strongly correlated metaphysical site, a mini animistic fairy tale, a portable utopian illusion. Meanwhile, in addition to his usual practice of photography and painting, Chen Xiaoyun adds sculpture to the exhibition, enhancing the depth of the theme and engendering a ritual sense.
Chen Xiaoyun was born in 1971 in Hubei province. Now works and lives in Beijin.

From opposite sides of the world, two rich traditions in healing music meet in one beautiful album: Winds of Devotion.
Acclaimed Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai and Tibetan flute virtuoso Nawang Khechog come together in a cross-continental prayer for compassion, wisdom, healing, and universal love.

Nakai and Khechog share a harmonious rapport based on common dedication to the meditative path of music. Their flutes resonate with ancient indigenous sounds that spark a deep remembrance in the heart of the modern listener. Blending sacred chant, prayer, and the timeless beauty of the wooden flute, Winds of Devotion is an unforgettable experience from two masters of ancient healing music.
Ideal for meditation, massage, body work, tai chi, or yoga. Features vocals by Chris White, with David Darling on cello, Wade Mathews on bass, and Geoffrey Gordon on percussion. Produced and arranged by Peter Kater.

- Review for Winds of Devotion Review by Perfect for my internal being
This is a Spiritual Album come true! Both Tibetan and Native American Indian music combined. Omg I love it, so healing and vibrant, I get lost in the vibrations of their singing and the flute and drums, sooo soulful!

- Review for Winds of Devotion Review by Sherry Baumann
On the afternoon of January16, 2014, I was searching for music that I felt my husband would like to hear to help him while he lay dying. He had been having trouble breathing for a few days, mainly, because his kidneys were shutting down. I happened upon this album and part way through the beginning of it, Nicholas Dech, took his last breath. I, strongly, feel that it helped him let go of this life and begin his next. I will be forever grateful.

We had a good candidate - and the GOP cheated Ron Paul out of the primary win
The GOP is finished - Boehner is a Democrat wearing a big R on his shirt - a 3rd party would take over and leave the Republicans on wall street where they serve their masters
We truly lost out by not electing Ron Paul
only because you morons keep voting Republican or Democrat expecting different results
only if the sheep keep voting Democrat
choosing the lesser of 2 evils has done such a great job for us in the past.....pfffft. That's all we ever get - a choice between 2 evils. Stop letting the media decide who gets to be President and vote for a man with principles. (you'll have to vote for a 3rd party to find any principles))
Once people stop believing in the left/right paradigm, we can start getting away from both destructive parties and start fixing our country
I mow my own lawn - you must be in the top 2%
amnesty should NEVER be supported - these people knowingly broke the law - rewarding them will only bring more here
I agree - but neither Rubio OR Cruz is Constitutionally eligible to become POTUS - Odumbo got around that though - so maybe Cruz can as well

I'm a socially inept personblob that also infiltrates as a student at SJSU doing 3D Modeling things!
This is my personal artblog, so there's mostly gonna be a bunch of unnecessary fanart, plus some occasional (rare?) original stuff. Please check out the links below this infoblock to filter through my blog!
Also, feel free to reblog my art! (as long as there's correct credit given and the comments aren't deleted, and stuff like that).
Thanks for visiting!

Biggest disappointment in the game was not being able to hustle anyone in the Law dungeon.
