Note: Since posting this I've been getting a lot of emails from Kickstarter users who want me to review their projects. Sorry, while I'd love to help I don't have time for that. There are countless Kickstarter consultants out there who you can happily pay. (Keyword: pay them. Stop asking for handouts.)
I back a lot of Kickstarter projects. It's a fun way to help people and see the direct impact. Sometimes I get cool things in return (music downloads, for example) and sometimes I don't get anything (by choice).
After 70+ backed projects – and countless others I would have backed if they were set up differently – here is what I've observed. If you're thinking about doing a Kickstarter campaign take this as you will from someone who has never launched their own Kickstarter campaign, but has only participated as a backer.
1) E-mail backers personally. Especially the early backers.
Out of the 70+ projects I've backed I think I've received 2 notes of "thanks!"
Are you kidding? Unless your project has thousands of backers (rare) a simple "Thanks so much!" will go a long way.
And, if nothing else, e-mail the early backers. They're the ones who really got your projected kickstarted.
2) Make sure backer rewards are in line with dollars pledged.
$100 to get your completed film? Fuck off. $50 for a download of your new album? Eat shit.
I understand you're raising money for a project and you've gotta keep your reward costs down so this is how I look at it. If the going rate for an album is $10 I'll happily support your project with $10 to get the download. It's going to cost you 50 cents tops (bandwidth) to send a download. $50-$100? You're an idiot. Keep your rewards in line with reality.
I've often felt cheated when, after backing a project for $X, the final release price was $(X-Y). It's a scammy thing to do and does not build goodwill for your future. If anything you should offer a discount for the people who are helping you with your project. But exact retail price is fine too.
I've seen a lot of projects never get funded because of ridiculous monetary requests. We want to help. We don't want to feel taken advantage of.
In line with this, if you're raising money for X, make X one of the rewards. I often see campaigns raising money for something, but backers have no options for getting the finished product. That's absurd.
3) In your description get to the point quickly, but then go deep for those who want more info.
Pretend you're writing a school essay and you need to get to your thesis on sentence five. Then take however much space you need to explain the details of the project.
4) Video is king.
(EDIT: This was originally written in February of 2012. I haven't seen a project without video for a long time.)
I've seen a lot of projects that don't include video. You'll see these projects don't get funded as often as projects with video. You don't have to be a great video editor either. Speak from your heart into the camera and that will be perfect. We just want to know a little about the person behind the campaign.
5) Include at least one reward level that's $10 or less.
It doesn't matter if you're selling a new piece of electronics equipment that will cost $150. Some people will connect with your project, but maybe they can't afford more. Or maybe they like your project, but don't want whatever you're offering. They just want to help with something small. Make it easy.
6) Use the Updates feature.
People who back your project want to know what's up. So let them know what's up. Kickstarter makes this easy so you're just silly if you don't take advantage.
If you frequently use Kickstarter I'd love to see your ideas below.

The annual birthdates episode. Every year, the ladies celebrate their collective birthday by fixing each other up on blind dates. This time it ends with more than one proposal.
Just when Joy is happy in her relationship with Mitch, Simon (Craig Ferguson) sneaks back into her life. Meanwhile, Elka (Betty White) gets carried away with some new-found power.
Tensions are high in Cleveland: Victoria is up for an Academy Award, Elka is up for City Council election, and Melanie gets a visit from her mother (Debra Monk).
When Victoria has to choose between Melanie and Joy for her plus one to the Oscars, they compete with each other to show who's the better friend.
Melanie feels replaced when the ladies go to her radio co-host (Will Sasso) for advice and Victoria meets J.J.'s (Dan Lauria) family.
Things heat up between Victoria and J.J. (Dan Lauria) and Melanie and Donald (Craig Bierko) during Elka's City Council debate against Councilman Powell (Bill Bellamy).
Our ladies go 2-D in a fun-filled animated episode that involves questionable beauty treatments, zombies, and a look at Cleveland had LeBron never left.
Victoria gets a visit from the son she always forgets (Chris Colfer) and Joy and Mitch (Tim Daly) debate their compatibility.
Joy decides to finally tell Mitch (Tim Daly) how she feels but a handsome dating coach gets in the way (Coby Bell). Victoria is surprisingly taken with a very Clevelandy screenwriter (Dan Lauria).
To the ladies' surprise, Elka has written and directed a play about them. They're shocked to see how they're portrayed and by whom. It doesn't help that Elka's role is being performed by the beautiful and glamorous Claudia (Morgan Fairchild).
During a super storm, the ladies get stuck in the house with some unwanted guests: Victoria's island boyfriend, Melanie's downer friend and Joy's mother. Elka thinks the ghost of a murdered woman has come back, seeking revenge.
Elka needs Ross Barkley's (Chevy Chase) endorsement for City Council so Melanie gets strong-armed into going on a date with him. Meanwhile, Joy hides her feelings for Mitch (Tim Daly) while he tries to get over Melanie.
The women fly to Los Angeles to watch Victoria announce the Oscar nominations. Elka gets campaign advice from a statistics expert, Victoria has nerves over the unknown, and Joy meets the man she's going to marry.
Lines get blurred when Joy and Bob (Dave Foley) go undercover as a couple and Elka (Betty White) gets a political rival (Bill Bellamy).
Victoria resolves to come clean about something to her longtime friend, Maddie Banks (Kirstie Alley), but gets cold feet in this KIRSTIE crossover episode. Melanie, Joy, and Elka cross things off their bucket lists.
The ladies take their depressed puppy, George Clooney, to Dr. Deb, a pet therapist who has her own radio show (Cheri Oteri). Dr. Deb blames the women for George's bad behavior and gives them assignments to better their lives and their dog's.

Series creator/executive producer Suzanne Martin explains the crossover with "All My Children." The cast members fondly recall working with actress Susan Lucci on those episodes. Betty White (Elka Ostrovsky) talks about her "crush" on Robert Redford.
Cast member Betty White (Elka Ostrovsky) talks about the renaming of her canine co-star "Chance" and her advocacy for animal welfare groups. Series creator/executive producer Suzanne Martin talks about developing characters over two seasons.
Season 5 of Hot in Cleveland delivers more twists and turns as the ladies juggle romances old and new, adopt a puppy and travel to New York to cross items off their bucket lists.
Elka (Betty White) is excited to learn that the McRib, the most delicious sandwich ever made, is back.
Chase Jackson visits Melanie and gives her free tickets to his sold out show.
Joy is upset when she learnsthat the DJ host she went out on a date with recorded every unflattering thing she said and broadcasted it all over the radio in little sound bites.
Melanie tries to get tickets to a sold out Chase Jackson concert by using her brain tumor to her advantage.
When Betty White fills in for one of the crew members, Cedric The Entertainer and Niecy Nash pay the consequences.
When Victoria realizes that her friends aren't helping her get a nomination, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
Joy (Jane Leeves), Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli) and Victoria (Wendie Malick) realize that they have all been played by the same man.
Elka (Betty White) and Mamie Sue (Georgia Engel) force Roy (John Mahoney) to choose between them.

15 most wanted features in the next iPhone 5S
Summary: From super high-resolution cameras and faster memory, to a better antenna, and a stronger glass to more storage, what do you want out of the next-generation iPhone?
14 of 15Image
Retina-plus display
The high-resolution Retina display packs an incredible 326 pixels per inch (ppi), making it one of the most densely displayed smartphones screens on the market. The point is that you can't distinguish from a reasonable arms-length distance the pixels on the display, unlike older models, giving it a crisp and clear-cut output. Can Apple push out a Retina-plus display to challenge some of its rivals and competitors on the market today?
(Image: CNET)
Better battery life
One of the biggest complaints about the iPhone is its lack of battery power. The iPhone 4 and 4S usually lasts about six to eight hours on average, depending on use, while iPhone 5 handsets last a little longer, despite having to power a larger screen and 4G LTE networking. Would you prefer a slightly thicker, heavier iPhone if it meant a better battery?
(Image: CNET)
Matte, sun-resistant screen
Any iPhone or iPad user will know the frustration of trying to watch a video with the sun or a bright light blazing onto the screen, making it a near impossible task at times. Though Apple should stick with glass as part of it overall design choice, a layer of matte film would make the viewing experience far better.

After a…what is it, three-year hiatus? I finally sculpted something again. Hooray!
This is something I wanted to make for my husband David back when he was still just my boyfriend, but I got busy (2011), and then we didn't really like the house we were living in (2012), so I didn't get around to it until now (2013). We just got married and bought our first house, so this seemed like the right opportunity.
Anyway, it took about two days, several photos, and a Google Maps aerial view to get the house sculpted, and then came the scary baking part where the whole thing could go up in flames (literally). But the house survived, and then all I had to do was stick it in the snowglobe…somehow.
Ever wondered what's inside a snowglobe? I don't know about yours, but mine is full of plastic snow, three bottles of distilled water, a shot of vodka, and an adult enema kit.
Listen, we were out of rubbing alcohol (to prevent bacteria), and they don't sell pure glycerine (to break the surface tension of the water) at my local drugstore. They do, however, sell glycerin-based adult enemas. And I had an open bottle of vodka in the house. So.
Ho ho ho?
Man do I hate hands.
At least it's one of those things that's hard for everyone, right? Don't all artists hate hands? They're brutal.
I'm still working through the Wendy Froud DVD, and she's definitely improving my work a ton. But every once in a while she speeds through something insanely difficult like it's a cakewalk and it kills me. Like, she's all, "So then you just make some fingers, and ta-da! You're done." Not all of us worked on Labyrinth, Wendy. How do I make fingers? Because I'm pretty sure you don't just shove five little worms on the end of a ball like I did.
The other challenge is working with such a relatively small amount of Sculpey, because it warms in my hands until it's too soft to be sculpt-able. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
More fun with Wendy Froud! I basically just refined the face I started last week, and after I smooth it out with acetone, it'll be ready for baking and painting. We're about to start sculpting hands now, which I'm a little nervous about. I predict that I will sculpt one excellent hand, not be able to duplicate it, and decide to give my figure a hook for a hand. Or maybe a tentacle!
Here's a quick sketch of a head I did while watching Wendy's DVD. It's not perfect, but it was already so much easier to sculpt with someone helping me in the background. If you recall, the last time I tried to sculpt a head was an epic failure, even though I had an open textbook in front of me with a lot of helpful illustrations. It's just not the same as watching someone move, hearing their voice, and getting a sense of the process in real time.
So here's a rough draft of what may become my male figure sculpture. Hooray! I'm kind of digging on his bat ears.
The more eagle-eyed among you may notice that this is not a sculpture.
A few weeks ago, I received a small grant from Berkeley Repertory Theatre to teach my lazy self how to figure sculpt, which means no more worms and boxes for this girl! Human figures all the way! I tried signing up for a class where I could learn from a live model, but there weren't any being offered locally during the time I needed them. So I did the next best thing: ordered three fantastic DVDs from the world-renowned Gnomon Workshop. I even had enough grant money left over for two wire armatures, eight pounds of Super Sculpey, and eight pounds of Sculpey Firm. Woo-hoo!Step one: Creating a Fantasy Figure by Wendy Froud (who sculpted characters for Labyrinth and Dark Crystal). At the moment, I'm just watching and learning. But I'm going to post my progress as I follow along with her, so this little wire guy should have some meat on his bones in a day or two…I hope. Stay tuned!
It's…a bookworm!
Yes, yes, I know. I took a month and a half off and then sculpted a worm. Toddlers can sculpt worms. I get it. But I got +5 xp for it, so…cool?
For those of you who just went "huh?", my friends run a game company, and I'm playtesting their new ARG. Pretty neat, right? Anyway, one of my character's classes is "bookwyrm" and I get experience points for designing an avatar, so…you already stopped reading, didn't you? Ok, fair enough.
Anyway, worm! It's better than nothing.
Super Sculpey
Look, it's the TARDIS!
If you couldn't tell, this photo features my brand new light box. I'm still working out how to trick my camera into ignoring all the seams in the background, but that's a problem for another day. Regardless, I definitely appreciate not having to worry about lighting anymore (notice how 90% of my photos appear to be taken in the one well-lit corner of my kitchen?).
Here's the TARDIS again with an old friend:
~2.5 hours, Sculpey III
This month's (let just be honest) figure comes to us from my beloved BBC total-nonsense series, Dr. Who. The Daleks are scarier than they look, man! I'm just saying.
Seen here, Dalek Sec is posing among his distant relatives: the attachments on my kitchen blender.
Here's a better view of his eggbeater arm:
Sculpey III, ~2 hours
Remember the frog prince from this post? I decided to clean him up and give him as a gift to the boy who inspired him, so I popped him in the oven a la Rhonda's R2D2. Unfortunately, unlike Artoo, he came out a little burnt:
So I painted him. But rather than go to the store for some new acrylic paint, I used some hand-me-down tubes of paint from my grandmother, who bought them for an art class maybe 40 years ago. I can't find a date on the box anywhere, but it looks like it's from the 70s at the absolute latest. When I tried to twist the cap off the tube of white paint, the tube itself split down the side.
This is my way of explaining that the paint came out a little…funny.
But after the first, somewhat chunky coat, I started thinning the paint with water (I was also using those rainbow-colored dollar-store brushes with the black nylon bristles; classy) and the texture improved. Anyway, here he is in all his whitewashed glory. Enjoy!

Sony Reader PRS-600 Touch Edition
I think all Sony readers from the 505 onwards have Vizplex - only the Librie and the 500 didn't. That would explain why you didn't see a difference.
I agree with Jeff 3, and will take it a step further: I prefer my 500 over the 505 because of the side-mounted page turning button (like the Cybook Opus).
Don't want a touchscreen, but do want to keep the screen size, so not sure what I'd buy now.

Cade, you're seriously jaded.
I think Dell is as useless as the next guy, but Michael's right - this is *exactly* the response most people have to a netbook if they're used to a normal lappy.
Netbooks are nice as a second "check the internet quick" machine, or for some specialist applications, or maybe as a primary machine if you're on an extreme budget, but for many applications, a second-hand laptop is probably a better bet.

Amazon tosses gelded Kindle at UK readers
Funny that the touchscreen is seen as the geek feature.
Personally, I use my Sony only for books (not RSS or whatnot) and since a book will last me a few days, I don't mind hooking it up to my PC via a wire to add or remove content.
For me, it's the wirelessness that's the geek feature.
My money's on Sony. I ran into a Kindlista recently and was appalled at teh loss of real estate to the buttons, but all he could go on about was a quarter of a million books, which I believe I can beat on my PRS-500.
If only Sony can get the advertising right.

Linus calls Linux 'bloated and huge'
For years, we have known that compiling your own kernel is cool and results in a faster kernel.
For years, we have complained that ordinary users won't use Linux.
For years, ordinary users have feared Linux because it's not easy to install or use.
More recent distros are much more user friendly precisely because the kernel is so bloated.
So what do we want - a universal kernel that will run on pretty much anything, or some form of hideous hardware scanning autocompilers that recompile the kernel as soon as you plug in a new USB device?
It's a little like Apple's iPhone business model: it sucks, but 90% of the planet likes it, so we happy few will have to live with it.

Panasonic patches cameras to block rivals' batteries
PR disasters...
I think you could argue Panasonic has a distinct interest in ensuring only 'safe' batteries are used in their cameras.
Remember the uproar about exploding Nokias a few years ago, where (as it turned out) all (or nearly all) exploding batteries were third party? People remember 'exploding Nokia', not 'oops - it was a third party battery'.
Not that there isn't a strong profit motive here also, of course.

@Trygve Henriksen: of course there is. Once you have devices on teh circuit, of course, there will be some voltage there also.
The city of Delft in teh Netherlands used to have no neutral - just 2 lives out of phase. Ask them how well that worked (rolls eyes)
I like the idea, but why don't you brits just adopt the plug standard northern europe uses? A double-insulated device like a laptop PC shouldn't need a ground pin, so you could then use the nice, small europlug standard. Which is also less than 1cm. While you're at it, have the Euro too.
That having been said, this is still a brilliant idea!

MySpace rant was not private, rules US Court of Appeal
Push vs. Pull
I find it quite hard to form an opinion on these sorts of cases.
On the one hand, the woman should indeed not have published anything she didn't want someone else to read, but I think she has a point about the newspaper publication.
Two points here:
- Copyright: whether or not she published it on MySpace, she wrote it and the newspaper should at the very least have asked for permission before publication.
- Push vs. pull: her mySpace target audience chooses to read her rantings voluntarily - "pulling" the content. By publishing the post, the newspaper "forces" its target audience to read the rantings - "pushing" the content.
I think a distinction should be made between this sort of "passive" vs. "active" publication, and until the law recognises that, these sorts of cases are going to continue to eat up too much bench time...

AUSL (Academy for Urban School Leadership), created in 2001, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve student achievement in chronically failing schools, primarily in Chicago, through its disciplined transformation process, built on a foundation of specially trained AUSL teachers.
AUSL currently manages 29 Chicago Public Schools serving – more... over 17,000 students and has graduated over 650 residents from AUSL's Chicago Teacher Residency.
Steady, positive improvements in academic achievement, student engagement, and parent satisfaction are hallmarks of all AUSL-managed CPS schools. AUSL turnaround elementary schools have outpaced the Chicago Public School district growth in ISAT meets/exceeds gains every year since our first turnaround school in 2006. The University of Chicago Consortium on School Research found that turnarounds, including those managed by AUSL, closed the gap between their test scores and the CPS average by over half in reading and by two-thirds in math after four years. – less

A 2011 film by Peter Weir, starring Jim Sturgess, Colin Farrell and Ed Harris. In 1941, seven escapees from a Soviet gulag try to make their way to freedom from Siberia to Mongolia. Along the way, they pick up an orphan runaway, but as soon as they reach Mongolia, they realize that it is Communist as well: they are not safer there than in Russia, and they have to keep going south. This involves crossing the Gobi desert, a part of China and Tibet (which were separate at that time), go through the Himalayas, to make it to safety in India.

Pilgrim of the Sky: Live – The Whole Playlist
In case you've missed my incessant trumpeting online, I've been reading my novel, Pilgrim of the Sky, since the beginning of February. We're about halfway through, but it's not too late if you haven't had a chance to catch up. You see, there's a handy playlist here.
I'll be providing audio only files in a little, but for now (if you don't want to see my mug) you can always just hit play and minimize the window.

Release Date:
July 17, 2001
Maybe it was merely a Steps overplay, between consistent singles and a new album each year, but it seemed like time for the group to embark on something new. Buzz avoids the pitfalls of repetition they had fallen into and, while it remains embedded in nostalgia for ABBA, the inspiration this time seems to derive from their own sound. They do in fact have their own sound, and it has revealed itself here, crystal clear. Buzz is arranged like clockwork, beginning with a disco dance track called "Stomp," and when they shout "Everybody clap your hands, get on up and dance," it is not a faulty request -- the album really does press the dancing buttons on your toes. There are very worthy, if trendy, pop bits like "It's the Way You Make Me Feel" and "Happy Go Lucky" (which may be an unconscious tribute to Britney Spears' work) as well as the title track, which is blissful. The male members play a better role than before, sticking to the background and only coming to the lead vocals when their voices will serve the role. There is a sense of risk-taking, of confidence, that pulls the album through the dance music, the electrical pop, and the couple of ballads. That's right, only a couple. They saved the best for last, "If You Believe," written and sung by group member Faye Tozer and co-written by Cyndi Lauper and Jan Pulsford. It is a great song because of great writing but, without the right singer, it wouldn't have pulled off the same height of emotion that it does. It is more than all right and, as lyrically simple as it is, it is all-encompassing. No offense to anyone in Steps, who are all energetic and talented, but they have a gem in the palm of their hand with Tozer -- for their sake, she's worth keeping.

The Confinement of the Insane

moreThe rise of the asylum constitutes one of the most profound, and controversial, events in the history of medicine. Academics around the world have begun to direct their attention to the origins of the confinement of those deemed 'insane', exploring patient records in an attempt to understand the rise of the asylum within the wider context of social and economic change of nations undergoing modernisation. Originally published in 2003, this edited volume brings together thirteen original research papers to answer key questions in the history of asylums. What forces led to the emergence of mental hospitals in different national contexts? To what extent did patient populations vary in terms of their psychiatric profile and socio-economic background? What was the role of families, communities and the medical profession in the confinement process? This volume therefore represents a landmark study in the history of psychiatry by examining asylum confinement in a global context. less

A Canadian psychiatrist accused of human rights abuses in apartheid South Africa for subjecting gay soldiers and conscientious objectors to electric shock "cures", will stand trial in Calgary on Wednesday for allegedly sexually abusing male patients.
Aubrey Levin, known in South Africa as "Dr Shock" for his use of electroshock therapy, is charged with sexual assaults on 10 patients, mostly prisoners assigned by the Canadian justice system for treatment. On Tuesday, a jury ruled he was fit to stand trial after the defence claimed Levin, 72, was suffering from the early stages of dementia.
Levin was arrested only after a male patient secretly filmed him making sexual advances. Earlier complaints by others were ignored by the authorities or not believed. His licence to practice has been suspended and the Alberta justice department has reviewed scores of criminal convictions in which the psychiatrist was a prosecution witness.
One of Levin's patients told CTV two years ago he endured abuse because he was afraid to protest.
"I didn't want him to write anything negative about me. So I pretty much kept quiet through the whole ordeal and the next time I came forward I was going to bring a tape recorder and record everything he was going to say, just to protect myself," the man said.
After his arrest, about 30 other patients came forward to accuse Levin of sexual abuse.
Levin's arrest raised questions in Canada as to how he was allowed to become a citizen and permitted to practice at the University of Calgary's Medical School even after he was named by South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) for "gross human rights abuses" during the apartheid era.
Levin was a colonel in the South African military and chief psychiatrist at 1 Military hospital in Pretoria in the 1970s and 80s, where he was in charge of a unit where electric shocks were administered to "cure" gay white conscripts. Levin also oversaw the use of electroshocks and powerful drugs against conscientious objectors refusing to fight for the apartheid army in Angola or suppress dissent in the black townships, who were held against their will and classified as "disturbed".

Nike Trainer SC 2010 – Bo Jackson – Team Red Sample
September 7th, 2010 by John Kim | 6 comments
Dual-sport athlete Bo Jackson is synonymous with Nike Training (i.e. the Bo Jackson Sports Complex out in Beaverton) as his name is given designation to the Nike Cross Trainer releases of the late 80′s-early 90′s. Earlier this year we were lucky to receive a pair of the Nike Trainer SC 2010 that paid tribute to Bo's days on the diamond – the Nike Trainer SC 2010 'Baseball Glove'. The pair featured a brown leather upper with black trim that mimicked a baseball glove, the number '16′ (his Royals jersey number) on the right insole, and a special 'Bo Knows' graphic on the upper ankle.
This sample pair in a rich red tone you see here points to his gridiron days, given by the '34′ printed on the right insole – and features the same 'Bo Knows' graphic in the same position – but the upper is constructed by a mix of suede and leather, opposed to the all-leather version of the Baseball Glove Edition. This Trainer SC 2010 Bo Jackson Legacy will likely see a release in the Holiday 2010 season but that is subject to change, so take a look at the detailed images after the jump and grab this like-new pair from dballaholic on eBay.

How can you be so sure they intended to attack him? I didn't mean to do so by reblogging, and I highly doubt I was the only one.
A few people misuse the word 'feminism', yes, but your use of 'nattering on'? Really? They/we might not give explicit disclaimers with every rant, but it doesn't mean we aren't aware that there are plenty of men who don't have that mindset. And it's an issue that deserves to be nattered on about, actually. I don't even know what gender you feel you are. If you don't mind me asking, are you male? What is it about the so-called 'nattering on' that irritates you?
I'm all for sparing people unnecessary hurt - I would have preferred if his name was crossed out - but the focus was on his words, and though I'm sure some people were more harsh than warranted, anything that stupidly guilt-mongering does deserve some criticism. It was an action that sprang from an attitude that is fundamentally wrong. At least, one that's harmful and just as upsetting as his experience. It could have been handled more sensitively, sure, but each person who reblogged was probably doing so to show their individual discontent against it. I don't think anyone intended to create some sort of scary force against the boy.
You're on it for a reason, and asking outright hardly ever works, but even so - would you mind coming off of anonymous please?

Edit to add: I've recently learned one of the reasons that "alters" can be a triggering term to some multiples. For some with natural multiplicity, alters is not actually the correct or preferred term for the other people that live in their system.
This post is specifically about people with trauma-made multiplicity, usually diagnosed as Dissociative Identity Disorder. Because it is also aimed at being as technical as possible, I've used the technical/professional term (though many people with any type of multiplicity that I know do seem to prefer other terms).
So, for those of you who find the term "alter" triggering, please be warned that the term is used many times in this post.
I'm a member of several online communities that are populated by people with DID. I won't be naming anything - not a single forum or member - but I did get permission from the admins to post some stats.
Please note that there may be some triggers in this post.
Generally speaking DID is caused by ongoing trauma, often abuse, though it has been known to happen after once-off traumas. In fact, 45% of multiples have been abused. 6% were born as multiples, 11% dissociated over time, either for no known reason or to help the original personality out, and the rest didn't know.
When it comes to the original personality, around 21% of multiples know who it is. 13% thought they might know, 27% definitely didn't, and the rest didn't care to or want to know.
The Inner World
Only 3% of multiples do not have an inner world. 6% aren't sure, but the majority (91%) do have an internal world.
Of that majority, 41% have a large internal world, and 7% have a small internal world. 19% aren't sure of what their internal world looks like. Many multiples have an internal world that can change, either in response to external things such as illness, or as a result of alters choosing to change it. Only 13% have a static internal world.
Most multiples (about 38%) have 4-10 alters, though it's possible to have anywhere from two to thousands of alters.
Alters can be many ages. It is possible to have alters older then the body – in fact, around 70% of multiples do.
It's also possible to have alters of the opposite gender or with a different sexuality. 17% of multiples have at least one alter of the opposite gender, and 16% have at least one alter with a different sexuality. Some alters age (13%), some are splits from alters rather than the original (16%), and some are not human.
Not all alters are human. 30% of multiples only or mostly have human alters. 50% have a mix of human and non-human, and 10% have mostly non-human alters. The remainder aren't sure.
Of these non-humans, 19% are animals, 14% are humanoid with animal features (such as tails or animal ears), 6% are angels or demons, 3% are inanimate objects, and 26% are mythical beings, such as fairies or vampires.
When it comes to appearance, over 90% of multiples say that in the internal world, the alters have their own bodies, and own appearances. Most of multiples (again, over 90%) also say that their alters can harm themselves or be harmed in the internal world, rather than only the external body being harmed.
All the multiples that voted in a poll about disabilities said they had alters who did have disabilities separate to any the body may have had, or the main personality had. 9% said they had alters with mental illness or disabilities, the remaining 91% said they had alters with physical and mental illnesses or disabilities.
Looks like I need to do another survey to find out how many people with DID can and can't communicate with the alters...
We are intensely curious where you are getting these numbers. Please elucidates for us?
***TW for abundant use of the word "alter"*** Thanks for this!

Lane Lambert
Assistant Coach
Lane Lambert enters his third season as an assistant coach with the Predators in 2013- 14, and seventh season in the organization after serving behind the bench of the club's primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League, the Milwaukee Admirals, from 2007-11. Lambert's responsi¬bilities include running the team's forward corps, in addition to heading up the penalty kill.
In his first season at the NHL level in 2011-12, Lambert helped the Predators to the League's fifth-best record during the regular season, finishing among the Top 10 in goals, goals against and penalty kill efficiency. In 2012-13, he oversaw a forward corps ravaged by injury, and assisting in the NHL debut of six players, including highly touted prospects Filip Forsberg, Taylor Beck and Austin Watson.
During his time as head coach of the Admirals from 2007-11, Lambert led the club to a 178-103-39 record, the sixth-most wins in the AHL in that span, while giving up the second-fewest goals (821) in the league. Milwaukee posted 40-or-more wins and 90-or-more points all four seasons under Lambert as well, making them the first team in AHL history to reach the marks in eight consecutive campaigns. In addition to four straight Calder Cup Playoff berths, Lambert helped the Ads capture a pair of West Division titles, post¬ing the Western Conference's highest point total in 2010-11 (102 pts, 44-22-14 record) despite seeing 10 of his core players recalled to the Predators during the season. He also captured a division title in 2008-09 when he led a young squad to 49-22-9 record, tying for the most points (107) in the AHL. The win total tied a club record since the team joined the AHL for the 2001-02 campaign.
Prior to joining the Admirals as an assistant coach in 2006-07, the Melfort, Sask., native spent one season as an assistant for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the New York Islanders' AHL affiliate. Lambert started his coaching career in the Western Hockey League, spending parts of two seasons as head coach of the Prince George Cougars (2003-05) and parts of two campaigns as an assistant for the Moose Jaw Warriors (2002-04).
Lambert finished an 18-year playing career with the Houston Aeros in 2000-01. The Detroit Red Wings' second selection, 25th overall (second round), in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, Lambert finished his NHL career with 125 points (58g-67a) and 521 penalty minutes in 283 games with Detroit, the New York Rangers and Quebec from 1983-89. Lambert enjoyed his most successful NHL campaign with the Nordiques in 1987-88, recording career-highs in points (41) and assists (28) in 61 contests.
The 48-year old Lambert also gained significant playing experience in both the American and International Hockey Leagues, posting a combined 238 points (113g-125a) in 417 games. He won an AHL Calder Cup title with Adirondack in 1986, and helped the Houston Aeros claim the IHL's Turner Cup championship in 1999.
Lambert and his wife, Andi, have two daughters, Taylor and Samantha.

Certification can be a great way to advance your career as a paralegal, once you have graduated with a degree. It's not a requirement, but it is highly recommended. Here is an introduction to the organizations that offer certification along with some tips to ace the exams.
Paralegal Certification Options
Though it is not required, paralegal certification is highly recommended. Four organizations offer paralegal certification. They are:
1. Certified Legal Assistant (CLA), Certified Paralegal (CP)
Offered by the National Association of Legal Assistants, this certification option is an introductory certification for those who are new to the field. NALA also offers advanced paralegal education and testing for future growth in the paralegal industry. To earn this accreditation, you must have graduated from an approved paralegal certificate program; have a bachelor's degree with one year of paralegal experience; or have seven years of experience and a high school diploma. After the qualifications are met, the applicant must apply and pass a two-day comprehensive exam on the paralegal profession.
2. Registered Paralegal (RP)
Offered by the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, this certification option is a more advanced option for those who possess a substantial amount of experience in both the education and practice of the paralegal field. This option requires one to six years of paralegal experience and various levels of education. Passing a one-day exam on legal communications, procedures, ethics, and knowledge completes the certification.
3. Professional Paralegal (PP)
Offered by the National Association of Legal Secretaries, certification as a Professional Paralegal is primarily an experience-based certification requiring two to five years of experience as a legal assistant. Once these requirements are met, passing a one-day exam on legal communications, knowledge, ethics, and practices completes the certification. After certification, NALS offers options for advanced education and certification in the paralegal field.
4. American Alliance Certified Paralegal (AACP)
Offered by the American Alliance of Paralegals, this certification is also experience heavy, requiring five years of paralegal experience coupled with an associate's or bachelor's degree and an ABA-approved certificate program. Once all qualifications are met, a processing fee must be sent in alongside an application, transcripts, and an affidavit from the employing attorney. No exam is necessary.

Wade and Dave Eyerly, the founders of Surf Air–an all-you-can-fly Part 135 membership service that operates Pilatus PC-12s on West Coast routes–left the company earlier this month. The brothers started Surf Air in 2011 and launched flight operations in June last year. Last month the company hired former Frontier Airlines chief Jeff Potter as the new CEO.
Business aircraft operators and pilots weary of the high cost of flying into Los Angeles International (LAX), noise restrictions and curfews at Van Nuys and Burbank, or the un-welcome mat represented by Santa Monica's higher landing fees can find respite in a hidden gem in the Los Angeles metroplex, Jack Northrop Field/Hawthorne Municipal Airport and its FBO, Jet Center Los Angeles. The airport is located about two miles east of LAX.
Surf Air, a charter operator offering all-you-can-fly trips between select California cities for a monthly fee, received its FAA operating certificate and plans to begin flying on June 12. Surf Air is flying Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turboprops with two pilots, and the first cities served will be Los Angeles and San Francisco, using airports in Burbank and San Carlos.
Fans of Lockheed Martin have a chance to win a ride on an historic Lockheed C-121C Super Constellation at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow (July 9 to 15). Five lucky winners will have a seat on the airplane, when it makes a celebratory flight from the UK's Farnborough Airport on the morning of July 10.
Lockheed Martin is offering to reduce the price of the C-130J Hercules by stripping out some of the more expensive systems. The U.S.-built airlifter is facing new competition later this decade, when Embraer's yet-to-fly KC-390 becomes available.
Avjet has been offering aircraft sales, acquisition, charter, management services and oversight of completion and refurbishment projects since 1979. Headquartered in Burbank, Calif., the company maintains a presence in Washington D.C., Seoul; Abu Dhabi; Moscow; Tokyo; and other locations around the world. Avjet also owns and operates an FBO in Pagosa Springs, Colo.
The longer that the House and Senate take to vote on FAA reauthorization legislation, the more likely that new proposals will be added that will further delay any vote.
A recent letter sent by three California congressmen to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure is asking for nighttime curfew legislation for Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and Van Nuys Airport to be added to the reauthorization bill.

With the voting accomplished early in the meeting, Tom Dingus claimed the gavel as the new board president and ran the rest of the meeting, replacing outgoing president Debra Long. Amy Mason, who as a resident of the community represents Liberty Lake in CV's District 5, was selected as vice president. Mason was appointed to the position in June 2011.
With the exception of Board Member Keith Clark retaining his post as legislative representative, the board leadership positions are largely rotational, and no discussion was held among the five-person board as the changes were announced.
Long was honored by her fellow board members with a card and plaque marking her service.
"I know it comes every five years and we have our system, but it really is an honor to serve this board," said Long, who was first elected to the board in 2003. "Each time you do it, you grow by leaps and bounds. This is such an incredible district, and this job is made easy because of the people we have within our system."
Board Member MJ Bolt, who is wrapping up her first year of service, led all of the board members in thanking Long.
"Thanks for serving as my first president, fielding a lot of phone calls from me and being very generous with your time," Bolt said.
Board Member Keith Clark also thanked Long and wished her luck in her recent transition into another presidential role - leading the board of directors for the Washington State School Directors' Association.
In other business:
� CVSD Superintendent Ben Small said Mayor Steve Peterson of Liberty Lake and Mayor Tom Towey of Spokane Valley have each provided letters of support for a funding request regarding a planned second phase for Spokane Valley Tech. CVSD serves as the lead district among the four Valley districts that have developed and operate the skills center campus, which opens in January. The districts are asking the state legislature to approve $2.5 million in funding for a second phase for the project.
� The school board approved the hiring of Mark Weis as the district's new director of maintenance.

Shoemaker-Levy 9's 10th Anniversary

Chuck1318 writes "July 16 is the 10th anniversary of the first impact of pieces of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on the planet Jupiter. The Planetary Society is marking this occasion with a call for applications for Shoemaker grants to fund "amateur and underfunded professional observers anywhere in the world." Shoemaker-Levy 9 created impact features on Jupiter that were larger than the Earth and helped stimulate the search for possible earth-impacting objects."

I have been collecting Irregular Choice shoes for many years and was super excited when a few years ago they started their collection of character shoes. Needless to say I was hooked and so these just had to be purchased to compliment my already vast collection. Anyway, suffice to say I was not disappointed. With their usual work of art standards, these shoes are just that! Super cute and definitely unique you cannot fail to admire them and you will definitely turn heads. . Go on treat yourself.

Wow! Just as amazing as I hoped they would be, and soo comfortable! I absolutely adore irregular choice shoes and have been admiring the unicorn heel shoes from afar since the first time I saw them. Thanks to the sale and my beautiful daughter I am now the proud owner of my very own pair of irregular choice one who charms unicorn shoes! Gorgeous! Very Highly recommend to those who dare to be different!
- Michelle Brown
Absolutely amazing shoes! Too beautiful to wear!!

Showdown Vote for Gun Control This Week

WASHINGTON—The Senate's top Democrat says there will be a showdown vote on Thursday on his party's effort to enact new gun restrictions.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he does not know if Democrats will get the 60 votes needed to break an effort by conservatives to block debate on the legislation.
At least five Republicans have indicated an openness to support the Democratic effort to at least begin debate. That would give Democrats the votes they would need — assuming no moderate Democrats defect, which is possible.
A Senate vote to begin debating the legislation would be a temporary victory for President Barack Obama's gun-control drive. It remains unclear, though, whether there are enough votes for final approval of the legislation.

We took the girls down to the beach this evening so we could see a much talked about sand sculpture that was done to promote our city, and the new movie Dolphin Tale, which was filmed here in Clearwater, Florida. I'm not sure which was more amazing, the sculpture, or tonight's sunset.
