38w, 2dThe Garden Beyond - Being Honest With Myself10 comments · 117 views
Okay. I gotta come clean with this.
I'm not enjoying writing The Garden Beyond anymore. The only thing going through my mind when I think "I need to get TGB finished." is "Ugh. I just wish that fic would get out of the way so I could write something I'd be happier with."
I started writing it because I thought it would be some fun background exploration and get people talking. I don't feel I really accomplished my goal on either of these points.
Writing this fic has become a chore rather than a pleasure, something I've been doing just because I should finish what I've started.
It's killing my inspiration, and it's killing my drive to write.
I'm sorry, followers and fans of the Garden, but I can't do it anymore.
You can find what I had of chapter 7 here, if you'd like, and if people ask, I'll post what I had planned for the rest of the story.
Until then, my apologies, and I hope to return with better news soon.

Well, first off, please forgive me for the extended silence. University has been a big headache for a while, but this seems to be clearing up with me going on an internship starting this january.
I intend to resume writing The Garden Beyond soon; I'm just as eager to see the rest of the story as you guys (I hope) are, possibly more.
Finally, I thought I'd let you guys know that I'm now on twitter @AutumnWindPony.
Happy holidays to you all!

It's coming. Just a little more prereading and it'll be out.
I'm sorry for how terribly slow the pace on my updates is. Inspiration has not been kind to me.

Just a heads-up: University is doing a number on me, and will be doing that for a while. Meanwhile, my inspiration is very much missing.
It may be a while before I can get to TGB 6.
Thank you for understanding.

Oh dear, it's finally done.
Sorry it took me so long to get this one out, life has been throwing a bunch of curveballs at me, and I got the writer's block something fierce.
It's here now, and I know I say this every time, but, I'll try getting the next one out in a saner timespan.
- ...
On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I understand the setting you've created--it's surprising, but it's a sensical and self-consistent sort of surprising, which is pleasant in a fandom that often goes for pointless surrealism. Still, it's not anything I would have thought of in the context of FIM, and I'm not sure what to make of it yet. I'll give it a like for now, and put it on read-later for when it's complete.
Moon, how could you. Love the story! Keep on writing!
Nightmare Bitch be hypnotizing errything! Good thing we all know she'll get her ass kicked
>>1893142 You're not gonna break canon by not having her banished to the moon are you?
Depends on how you define "Banished to the moon". You have to remember that here, the moon is, well, our lead character. Let's just say what the ponies consider "Banished to the moon" and how the ponies of the garden see it may differ somewhat. Their perceptions of what it means do as well.
It's canon that Nightmare Moon was imprisoned/banished/put away, but what that means is somewhat... hazy.
Only one way to find out what I mean: Tune in next time!
>>1893624 The point being that Celestia will defeat Nightmare Moon, as is canon.
Ah, but of course. Canon will prevail here. This is an exploration of potential canon, that's all. I would have tagged Alternate Universe otherwise.
Nicely done, A_W. And congrats on the EQD feature.
Oh Moon, so old and yet so young and simple.
Led astray by such shallow lies, she doesn't consider consequence.
One must never idolize anyone or anything fallible. Set yourself up a shrine to only absolute concepts of right and wrong by which all things are weighed by reason and wisdom. Only then can you uncover those who seek to deceive.
When you place a person in high regard, you are setting yourself on a very brittle foundation.
Interesting analysis. ^^
Sadly often, when the mother falls, so do the children.
Knowing how events play out, with the banishment and Celestia wresting control of both heavenly bodies, I am eager to see how this continues.
I hope you'll enjoy where I'm taking it.
This story is absolutely brilliant, and I can not wait for more!
An original take on a story that has been explored many times before, very well written and entertaining.
Princess Luna, your youthful hijinks have doomed us all!
Youthful hijinks? I don't agree with your terms, Mav.
I'll do my best to have more out as soon as possible.
I always think this story is discontinued since you wait so long between releasing the chapters.
Still, you deliver and I could not be more excited to follow it. If you would like I can help you with pre-reading.
Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not a very prolific writer. >.<
Take my word for it: If this gets discontinued, I will toss out a blog about it. Until that happens, rest assured that it's not canceled.
You could be slower. At least you're not the guy who writes Composure. That fic's been very much unresolved, and dead in the water for more than a year.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
However, let's not start thrashing other writers here, shall we?
I'm not sure what to offer in the way of words of support, but I quite like this, and I'm not bothered by the time between updates.
Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Glad you're enjoying this. ^^
I like Moon in the heroic role. Also what you did with the Elements. :)
*Alondro paces and paces, wearing a huge trough in the floor. At last, he breaks...*
ARG!!! I can't take it anymore! *frantically writes a random, insane crackfic ending* AND SOOPERMAN FLEW IN AND PUNCHED NM IN DA FACE AND SAVED THE DAY THE END!!!
*he is carted off to the loony bin, cackling madly*
Sorry for how long it's taking. Chapter 5 is proving very tricky to write. I'm doing my best to get it out ASAP.
>>2508826 i get very impatient for stories I like.
I am going to fist pump if a chapter ever ends up being called, "The Secret Garden." I will then proceed to reminisce over a good movie...
>>>The middle children had mostly taken off by themselves, away from the eldest, many of them taking up some rather risky games, acting rowdy, and fighting amongst themselves. I had to cajole more than a few after they had suffered minor injuries, and forcefully pull a few more out of ridiculous stunts. Miraculously, none of them had gotten truly hurt.>>>
Except for Betelguese, who'd gone supernova after gorging on helium.
Also, will you write of the more recent happenings as well?
Yeah, we're approaching the second arc of the story, which will cover Nightmare Moon's 1000 year exile. The third and final arc will deal with Nightmare Moon's return to Equestria, and everything that involves.

Tiny Fennville, Mich., is getting ready to host a basketball game for the first time since 16-year-old Wes Leonard made a game-winning shot then collapsed seconds later.
Leonard was rushed to a hospital where he died that night.
His 14-year-old brother, Mitchell, will be a freshman guard on the same court Tuesday night and his mother, Jocelyn, will be in the stands.
His grief-stricken father, Gary, doesn't plan to be there.
"It's still tough," Joceyln Leonard said softly in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
After lifting his beloved Blackhawks to a 20-0 record last March 3, Wes Leonard was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. His death drew national attention and stunned many in Fennville, a town of 1,400 not far from Lake Michigan some 200 miles west of Detroit.
A medical examiner determined Leonard had sudden cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart. Two autopsies — one done locally, another at Harvard — concluded he would've been given a second chance had someone recognized what was happening and had an automated external defibrillator available.
"For sure, an AED would've saved his life," Joceyln Leonard said. "We all know his heart was damaged, but he could've lived with that heart a little longer while we figured out what to do with it."
Last Friday, one day before the nine-month anniversary of Leonard's death, the family had the basketball team over for dinner in the same house where his former teammates slept overnight in March, hoping to provide some support to the grief-stricken family.
"It was pretty amazing for them to do that," Fennville coach Ryan Klingler said. "It shows how special the Leonards are."
Mitchell Leonard, who was 13 when his older brother died, was given a clean bill of health from a cardiologist last spring. Now, he's trying to live his own life on and off the court without a brother who would've been his teammate this season.
"Mitchell is really talented, but different than Wes," Klingler said. "He's about 6-feet tall and plays shooting guard. Wes was 6-2 and played in the post as a freshman."
Klingler grew close to Wes Leonard, whose infectious personality and athletic skills made him popular, and he has tried to avoid preparing for a night that no one saw coming a year ago.
"It's going to be an emotional night for all of us," Klingler said. "I've tried not to think about it that much because all of us wish Wes was still here."
The Wes Leonard Heart Team was created with the mission of having defibrillators placed at every school in the state and training people to use them to prevent similar tragedies. A bill that would require public schools to have defibrillators or AEDs present and "readily accessible" was introduced in the state Senate in November.
When students are present, schools would be required to have someone trained to use the device — and also trained in CPR — on hand.
Jocelyn Leonard will be among the people pushing for the bill to pass later this month. Its sponsor, Republican Sen. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge, said the bill could face opposition amid funding concerns
"These defibrillators have saved many people," Jones said. "It's good common sense to have one in every school and hopefully at every major sporting event where they don't have an ambulance or medical crew standing right there."
Randy Gillary has been fighting for the same cause since his daughter died in suburban Detroit during a water polo game in 2000. The Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation was started in her memory to do exactly what the Leonards are now trying to accomplish. He said state law requires funding to be provided for any law ordering school districts to provide AEDs.
"But it may not be as big of a problem because we believe at least 85 percent of high schools already have an AED," Gillary said Monday. "It's a shame that the Leonards had to go through what they did to shed light on a problem that needs to get addressed."
Associated Press writer Tim Martin in Lansing, Mich., contributed to this report.

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. (AP) - A man is in critical condition after he was shot by a Bridgeport police officer at an Interstate 79 rest area.
City officials say in a news release that the shooting occurred after the officer responded to a disturbance call at 3:23 a.m. Thursday.
The officer found a man armed with a handgun, and a woman inside a vehicle. The officer was able to get the woman out of the vehicle and repeatedly ordered the man to drop the gun.
City officials say the man refused and raised the gun toward the officer in a threatening manner. The officer then shot the man in the upper torso.
The man was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name hasn't been released.

4 charged in TTC fraud probe
A Toronto Transit Commission project manager, his wife and son are among four people charged in an alleged $150,000 fraud involving fake invoices and a secret commission for paving work at TTC stations.
Share via Email
A Toronto Transit Commission project manager, his wife and son are among four people charged in an alleged $150,000 fraud involving fake invoices and a secret commission for paving work at TTC bus stations.
The other person charged is the owner of IPAC Paving Ltd.
Between June 2009 and July 2010, IPAC billed the TTC close to $200,000 for work that amounted to about $50,000, police said.
IPAC did work at TTC sites, including the Wilson, Islington and Finch bus stations, police said.
Police allege that the TTC project manager, who hired IPAC and was responsible for paying invoices, received a secret commission of $58,000.
His wife and son allegedly created bank accounts and received funds from IPAC under fraudulent companies, said Det. Const. Chris Devereux.
The investigation is now probing a three-year contract with an $860,000 limit awarded to IPAC in 2007. Amendments were made to the purchase order to increase the limit to $1.8 million, said TTC spokesman Brad Ross.
Ross emphasized, however, that those adjustments need authorization and are always made for "legitimate reasons."
The company has been doing contract work for the TTC and city since 2001.
The initial investigation was launched in July 2009 when the TTC received an insider's tip.
Councillor Karen Stintz, chair of the TTC, said police were called in a year later when the irregularities were found to be worse than first suspected.
She called the situation "very serious."
"The public needs to have confidence that we're managing these contracts in the public interest," she said.
Ross said a forensic audit team is reviewing controls and the TTC will cancel all IPAC contracts and seek court action to recover assets.
IPAC Paving owner Sebastian Corbo, 51, of Toronto, was charged with fraud, possession of property obtained by crime, laundering proceeds of crime and two counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
TTC project manager Bruno Colavecchia, 49, of Maple, is charged with fraud, laundering proceeds of crime, possession of proceeds of crime, an agent receiving a secret commission and two counts of conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. He was dismissed from his job Wednesday morning.
Vincenza Grossi, 49, and Michael Colavecchia, 21, both of Maple, are charged with laundering the proceeds of crime, possession of proceeds of crime and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
They are scheduled to appear in court July 28.

Disclosure: BBC Essential Mix (via SoundCloud)
In August, Disclosure's Guy and Howard Lawrence spun a two-hour Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. Now, they've shared a full version of the mix on SoundCloud. The huge tracklist includes Jaylib, Slum Village, T. Williams, and, of course, Disclosure. Listen above.
Disclosure Respond to Azealia Banks
By Carrie Battan on October 1, 2013 at 8:45 a.m. EDT
Akhet: "Blown Away" [ft. Azealia Banks] (via SoundCloud)
If there's one thing Azealia Banks has done in her career, she's shown exactly how willing other artists are to engage her in a little media back-and-forth. She's a great troll, whether she wants that title or not. This time it's Disclosure's Howard and Guy Lawrence, who were not too sanctimonious to take a subtle few jabs at her on Australia's Triple J radio (via NME). They spoke in response to Azealia's recent decision to scrap her collaboration with the duo after they were "like, really rude in an interview."
Azealia Banks Scraps Disclosure Collaboration
By Carrie Battan on September 30, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. EDT
Add another bridge to the fire. Azealia Banks tells AU Review (via FACT) that she scrapped that previously reported collaboration with Disclosure, which was set to appear on her upcoming debut album Broke With Expensive Taste. "I did something with Disclosure but they were, like, really rude in an interview, so I canned it."

"Oh greatest of the mass media, thank you for elevating emotion, reducing thought, and stifling imagination. Thank you for the artificiality of quick solutions and the insidious manipulation of human desires for commercial purposes. This bowl of lukewarm tapioca represents my brain. I offer it in humble sacrifice. Bestow thy flickering light forever."
—Calvin, Calvin And Hobbes
"The news is a sacred temple. And you are part of the cabal that's ruining with horseshit!"
—Craig Pomeroy, Morning Glory
"Television is not the truth. Television's a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the Truth, go to God! Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever gonna find any real truth. But, man, you're never gonna get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like hell. We'll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, he's gonna win. We'll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We're all you know. You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal! You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube! You eat like the tube! You raise your children like the tube! You even think like the tube! This is mass madness. You maniacs. In God's name, you people are the real thing! We are the illusion!"
—Howard Beale, Network

"Is it because journalists, as a class, are habitual liars, and prefer what is not true to what is true? I don't think it is. Rather, it is because journalists are, in the main, extremely stupid, sentimental and credulous fellows — because nothing is easier than to fool them — because the majority of them lack the sharp intelligence that the proper discharge of their duties demands."
—H. L. Mencken, Prejudices: A Selection
"Nowdays, If a news report does not tie up loose ends as neatly as The A-Team, it is considered a flop."
—Richard Nixon, In The Arena
"I seldom watch television. But when I do set out to twirl the dial, it is usually on Sunday, when our corporate rulers address us from their cathode pulpit. Seedy Washington journalists, sharp-eyed government officials who could not dispose of a brand-new car in Spokane, think-tank employees, etiolated from too long residence 'neath flat rocks, and always, always Henry Kissinger, whose destruction of so many Asians and their once-charming real estate won him a prize for peace from the ironists of northern Europe. The level of the chat on these programmes is about as low as it is possible to get without actually serving the viewers gin."
—Gore Vidal, "Cue the Green God, Ted"
"People will live in a condition of splendid physical isolation. Television — that is, the ability to see your best friend over a distance of many miles — and wireless telephony will lead to this condition. There will be less desire in those days for close physical communication. That desire is a relic of barbarism."
— Futurist A.M. Lowe, writing about the future in 1920. Inverted because he seemed to see this as a good thing.
"Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing."
�The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.�
—Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80's
"By the time you�ve made it to Bureau Chief, or Editor, or you�ve become a bigshot at CBS or something, the chances are that you�ve just got all this stuff in your bones � you�ve internalized the values that make it clear to you that there are certain things you just don�t say, and in fact, you don�t even think them anymore...If you're a young journalist and you're pursuing stories that people at the managerial level know, either intuitively or explicitly, are not to be pursued, you can be sent off to work at the police desk, and advised that you don't have 'proper standards or objectivity.'"
—Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power
"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.�
—Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
"You know what a fake news show on Fox News should give you? Real news."
"Anderson Cooper was in Ottawa last night to report on the horrific shootings at the National War Memorial and Parliament. He was not there to have a kiki and take selfies. Vandon Gene (which is now the scientific name for the douche gene), an aspiring journalist type for the Sun News Network, didn�t get that memo, I guess... When Anderson Cooper spanks you verbally in the ears, you shut your mouth and make a vow to never wash out your ear holes again because they�ve been slapped by the voice of The Silver Fox. Vandon didn�t shut his mouth. Instead he uploaded the video of The Silver Fox telling him off and then tweet whined about it.
Vandon tweeted (and later deleted) a tantrum stream of whiny tweets where he said that Anderson is an ass for 'exploiting' the Ottawa tragedy and can�t believe The Silver Fox would criticize someone for asking for a photo. The Silver Fox sharpened his nails and scratched back on Twitter. Vandon tweeted out an apology, but it was too late. The damage was already done. Or was it, because he obviously got all the attention he wanted."
—DListed, "Don�t Ever Ask The Silver Fox To Take A Selfie At The Scene Of A Tragedy"
"Of the major networks, CNN and MSNBC are slightly better, only because they at least try to hide their bullshit by occasionally inviting a person of color on their panels, and aren�t so cartoonish about peddling their propaganda. However, these networks all still court the same advertisers, and largely the same agenda where war is a force for peace, capitalism is king, and the poor are invisible.
Fox News just has more ads for gold, which makes some sense, we admit, since poor people can�t afford gold."
—Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny, "The Day Jon Stewart Quit"
"I was at a conference just a couple of weeks ago, and one journalist asked a PR rep if he was allowed to write a story. Edward R. Murrow didn't just spin in his grave at that query; he catapulted out of it like a jack-in-the-box and started choking bitches."
"I went to the opening game against the Cardinals in 1999. One of the local television stations had a camera planted right by me, my best friend and my dad. The Eagles played great in the first half and the cameraman caught us screaming, cheering, and jumping up and down like 10 times. We raced home and set our VCR to tape the evening local news. It was a pretty exciting moment for me as an 11 year old.
It turns out the whole story was about the new drunk tank and the very honorable Judge Seamus McCaffery. It was soul crushing. The only clip they used was my dad cheering after a touchdown with the Voice of God ominously pointing out that 'WILD FANS�AND ALCOHOL�' cause bad shit happens or something. I don't even remember the rest of the quote but it has something to do with the drunk tank. Oh and we blew a 20 point lead in the second half to the Cardinals."
"This is what happens when you make every single decision based upon public perception: The image of you becomes the focal point, and not the person therein. When Peter King issued his weird mea culpa for his lax reporting on the [Ray] Rice scandal, he phrased it just like a press release. See for yourself. That's the kind of public statement a celebrity issues after saying something racist. It's certainly not any kind of formal reporting. Is Peter King even a reporter? Or is he just a quasi-famous coffee enthusiast and PR dumpster? I can't tell. I can't tell much of anything anymore because every sports league and every TV network and every new album release is strategized to within an inch of its life."
—Drew Macgary, "Everything is Public Relations Now"
"For the tragic waste of Krauthammer's considerable talents represented by Things That Matter, a good deal of the blame should doubtless go to the bad habits fostered by op-ed writing and talk-show commenting. Krauthammer is an expert simplifier, summarizer, and close-quarters scrapper. His skill at producing zingers is enviable. But remarks are not literature, and zingers are not political wisdom. You can't surprise yourself, breathe deeply, get to the bottom of things in 800 words or 20 seconds."
—Scott McLemee on Charles Krauthammer
"That's why people care so much about what a sociopathic killer's favorite video game was or what their house and living situation was like: The people who actually tune into this news coverage or buy these tabloids turn killers into celebrities. What fucks it all up is that these reports turn homicide into an accomplishment, and after all these spree killings, you see other killers pop up and follow the example!"
"Anyway, when they're not urging their readers to talk to squirrels or torment their own murderers, they're filling their pages with the sort of extreme content normally associated with sicko websites aimed at snickering frat boys - grisly real-life murder stories, close-up photos of tumours and injuries, that kind of thing - the only real difference being that here the relentless horror is interspersed with heart-warming readers' letters in which Kids Say the Funniest Things. Somehow the juxtaposition only makes the nasty content seem worse."
—Charlie Brooker on tabloid mags
"Matt Johnson sees life as a movie where he�s the star-auteur, always performing, or thinking how to best frame himself for the imaginary audience, effectively treating the universe as a Matt Johnson Joint...Parlaying that modern disease into a self-aware school shooter, borrowing Catcher in the Rye from the school library 'cos it�ll be funny,' is a genius move, especially when any would-be maniac is fully aware � often, as a motive � that infamy awaits, with 24 hour news using body-counts like a high score, and where any actual docu-footage would be ghoulishly judged on the Dutch camera angles and soundtrack choices."
—Stuart Millard on The Dirties
"IGN claims to represent gamers and they have the numbers to prove it, but they belong to Fox Interactive Media, Inc., which is a subsidiary of none other than News Corporation � Rupert Murdoch�s sleazy media empire. That means in reality, IGN represents Murdoch�s vision of how gamers should think...Murdoch is rightfully called an 'opinion maker', preferring to tell people what they like and don�t like, from so many angles that they actually start to believe it � that�s one of the benefits of owning everything under the Sun. Don�t expect anything his company owns to reflect the truth. They charge in a direction and wait for the people to follow."
"A lot of people say to me, 'Martin, why are you so angry at the Daily Mail?' There's also a kind of personal element to it, as well: A couple years ago, there was a story about killer foxes in London. Here's a photo: 'This fox attacked a man who was carrying his shopping bags home from the supermarket!' The fox attacked him for a period of (allegedly) fifteen minutes after which it got away a loaf of garlic bread! Foxes are well-known predators of the garlic bread. And this kinda stuff was really big at the time; there were various hoaxes around, there were all sorts of stories that were almost entirely bullshit. But this had a real impact on people.
On Monday, I have to bury my grandad. Now, a couple of years ago, we went to his house as he was in his declining years. We went there in the summer, and all of the windows were bolted shut, and the house was absolutely boiling hot. And we said, 'Grandad, why don't you have the windows open?! We're boiling in here.' And he didn't want to, because he was afraid that the foxes would get in and attack him. And it's an easy thing to laugh at, and at the time, we did. But this is kinda what the Daily Mail does. And thing is, my grandad was an incredibly intelligent person...But the thing about the Daily Mail, and the thing about this kind of journalism, it doesn't matter how well inoculated against it you think you are; doesn't matter if you think you're the sort of person that adverts dont't get to; it doesn't matter if you don't think you're persuaded by this. This stuff is like mercury in fish; it kinda drips, drips, drips day after day, and it eventually starts to to infest people and give them a disturbed view of the world. And for vulnerable people, for elderly people, for people who don't ordinarily leave the house very often, papers like the Daily Mail are the only window they have on the world."
—Martin Robbins, "Why the Daily Mail is Evil"

Home Global Knowledge Gateway Ethics
|Global Knowledge Gateway
Unethical business practices harm organizations and economies. Large-scale business failures such as Enron—as well as the more recent failures related to the global financial crisis—highlight the consequences of unethical business practices and amoral management. Professional accountants, as stewards of transparency and trust, and subject to a professional code of ethics, have a key role to play not only in upholding but in encouraging and influencing ethical behavior and decision making within their organizations.

Review: Future's "Monster"
Nov 5, 2014 at 03:19 AM
Part of Future's appeal lies in a musically indefinable existence. While both Pluto (and the 3D version) and Honest became somewhat of a set template for artists like Travi$ Scott, Future himself is a blend of the past, some not so distant.

Oct 20, 2014 at 05:04 PM
While it's never been confirmed by either party, anyone who has been following the career of Nicki Minaj assumes that her and Safaree "SB" Samuels are an item.

SLU's Health Care Heroes Make Worldwide Impact
Eight of 19 Business Journal Honorees Connected to SLU
ST. LOUIS - Highlighting the pioneering vision and worldwide impact of leaders at Saint Louis University, the St. Louis Business Journal recognized several members of the SLU community as "Health Care Heroes."
The Aug. 27-Sept. 2 St. Louis Business Journal profiles the achievements of medical professionals who, the editors say, are giving patients the power to improve their lives.
Eight of the 19 medical professionals recognized for their outstanding accomplishments are connected to the SLU community, reflecting the far-reaching impact of work performed by SLU's physicians, researchers and faculty members.
Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D.
|Saleem Abdulrauf, M.D.
Abdulrauf was recognized as a Health Care Hero for innovation in neurosurgery. Professor of neurosurgery at Saint Louis University, Abdulrauf has refined leading-edge techniques allowing surgery that otherwise would be impossible.
Equally innovative is the collaborative work within SLU's Center for Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Surgery that he directs. Treating stroke, brain tumors and aneurysms, a team of experts from otolaryngology, neurology, radiology, and SLU's Cancer Center consult on complex cases.Designed for collaboration, the Center has an integrated high-tech system permitting seamless video communication from across the University and around the globe, allowing Abdulrauf to advise surgeons around the world, even during surgery.
A leader in the field of neurosurgery, Abdulrauf is currently chairman of the International Division of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, secretary of the North American Skull Base Society and secretary general of the World Federation of Skull Base Societies.
Raul Artal, M.D.
|Raul Artal, M.D.
Honored for his contributions to public policy, Artal is an advocate for maternal and fetal well being. On the forefront of developing new pregnancy weight and exercise standards, Artal has challenged current pregnancy weight gain guidelines.
He was among the first to advocate that attention to weight control and the use of exercise be used as an alternative to medications in controlling blood sugar in pregnancies complicated by diabetes.
Artal is one of four U.S. medical experts selected to serve on a World Health Organization panel that recommends ways to make pregnancy safer for women around the world and is current chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' scientific committee.
He also wrote the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' guidelines for exercise during pregnancy.
Bob Fox
|Bob Fox
When two St. Louis medical clinics that served the Hispanic community closed their doors last year, Fox, CEO and owner of New Space and Saint Louis University board member, launched Casa de Salud. For his work ensuring that a crucial health need was met, he was honored as a Health Care Hero in community outreach.
Fox, who chairs Casa de Salud's board of directors, approached Saint Louis University president Lawrence Biondi, S.J., who agreed that SLU would be a founding and sustain sponsor of the new endeavor. After obtaining support from several other St. Louis institutions, Fox saw Casa de Salud open its doors on April 16.
With the goal of eliminating the barriers that prevent new immigrants from accessing health care, Casa assigns each patient a "navigator," who teaches new Americans how to use the complicated health care system, helping fill out forms, providing translation services and even accompanying a patient on an appointment at a new facility.
Sharon Frey, M.D.
|Sharon Frey, M.D.
On the front lines of efforts to protect the health of the nation as the country braced to battle the H1N1 influenza pandemic last year, Frey was honored in the physician category.
SLU is one of eight elite medical institutions selected and funded by the National Institutes of Health to test new vaccines, and, as clinical director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Saint Louis University, Frey led the NIH's H1N1 influenza vaccine trials at SLU.
In addition, Frey studies vaccines for hepatitis, HIV, avian influenza and salmonella, among other diseases. After the 2001 terrorist attack, when the nation feared the deadly smallpox virus could become a weapon, Frey conducted research that helped U.S. leaders decide on the best way to protect Americans in case of a bioterrorist attack.
For more than 10 years, Frey has brought humanitarian medical aid to those in need in countries that include Zaire, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
Pete Ruminski
|Pete Ruminski
Honored in the Allied Health category, Ruminski is a former Pfizer scientist who joined Saint Louis University to lead a group of highly trained scientists at SLU's new Center for World Health & Medicine.
Taking basic academic research and turning it into drugs that combat diseases in the developing world, Ruminski's team will work to develop medications to treat conditions like malaria and childhood diarrhea, the second cause of childhood death in the world.
With a $5 million, two-year investment from SLU and a substantial equipment investment from Pfizer, Ruminski's group aims to develop chemical compounds that may have promise, but which were not deemed commercially viable by pharmaceutical companies.
Three other members of the Saint Louis University community also were recognized.
Theodore Dubuque, M.D.
Recognized with the St. Louis Business Journal's highest Health Care Heroes award, Dubuque was named this year's lifetime achievement winner. Former chief of surgery at SSM St. Mary's Health Center and emeritus professor of surgery at Saint Louis University and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, Dubuque founded CRUDEM (Center for the Rural Development of Milot), an organization which helps support Hospital Sacre Coeur in Haiti. Since his work began, the hospital has grown from six to 73 beds and is the region's largest employer.
Arthur Culbert
President and chief executive of Health Literacy Missouri, senior adviser to the Missouri Foundation for Health, and adjunct faculty member at Saint Louis University's School of Public Health, Culbert was recognized in the public policy category for his work the help Missourians better understand health information.
Carla Beckerle
Director of clinical programs at Esse Health, nurse practitioner and doctor of nursing practice student at SLU's School of Nursing, Beckerle was recognized for her mission work, care for chronically ill seniors and diabetes education outreach in nursing.

3D Printing
Reseachers at Harvard University have developed a way to 3D-print a cellular composite with record lightness and stiffness using an epoxy resin. This marks the first time that epoxy is used for 3D-printing, and the advance could lead to the development of new lightweight architectures for more efficient wind turbines, faster cars, and lighter airplanes. Read More
3D printers are great at creating small objects – and some can even be pressed into doing larger things, such as cars – but a 3D printer able to print a full-sized house would have to be, well, bigger than a house. To tackle this problem, a team of researchers from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in Barcelona removed the size restrictions of a printer altogether by using mobile 3D printer robots to print directly on site. Read More
LLNL improving the efficiency of 3D metal printing
To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, there was a time when 3D metal printing was like a dog walking on his hind legs – it wasn't done well; but you were surprised to find it done at all. Now that laser sintering or Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is used for everything from printing rocket engine components to semi-automatic pistols, the time for surprise may b long past, but the technology still has plenty of room for improvement. That's why researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are working on simulations to improve the speed of 3D laser printing and the quality of the final product by using higher-powered lasers. Read More
With 3D printers becoming more commonplace, it was maybe just a matter of time before they threatened crayons and Lego as favorite playthings for the creative child. At the forefront of this intersection of education, technology and playtime is the manufacturing company Mission Street Manufacturing, whose Printeer 3D printer promises to bridge the gap between technical know-how and your child's imagination.

New RoboCop suit was made with a 3D printer
If you're looking for an excuse to buy a 3D printer, how about the ability to print your own RoboCop? 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys has revealed that its tech was used to produce RoboCop's suit in the new movie. The Objet Connex 3D was used to create both the master mold pattern and final parts. Read More
Form 1+ 3D printer is twice as fast as the original
Back in 2012, Boston-based Formlabs managed to attract almost US$3 million in crowdfunding for the launch of its original Form 1 SLA (stereolithographic) 3D printer, which shipped in May of the following year. Though it may look somewhat similar to its handsome predecessor, the company says that it has completely overhauled the design for its new Form 1+ high resolution desktop model, re-engineering mechanical components for improved reliability and offering users faster printing at higher quality. Read More
Arup says it has developed a 3D printing technique for creating structural steel elements to be used in construction. Although laser sintering has been used elsewhere, Arup believes this is the first time it has been used for this purpose. The technique could reduce energy usage, costs and waste. Read More
Strati wins 3D printed car challenge
The first ever 3D Printed Car Design Challenge has been run and won with Strati, a design by Michele Anoé of Italy, chosen from a field of over 200 entries submitted by contestants from more than 30 countries. As well as winning a $5000 cash prize for his efforts from the organizers, Local Motors, Michele's concept will provide the most influence for a full-size 3D prototype to be printed at the International Manufacturing Technology Show this September in Chicago, Illinois.

Cordless CreoPop pen makes 3D sketching cool
Last year, the folks over at CreoPop started working on a 3D drawing pen that always kept its cool. Instead of heating of ABS or PLA plastic filaments like the 3Doodler from WobbleWorks, the CreoPop uses light-sensitive inks that solidify when exposed to UV light, so sketchers young or old don't need to worry about having to steer clear of the piping hot creative end. Now the company is preparing to go into production. Read More

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown presents a spine-tingling story of murder and betrayal in high society Savannah, where a homicide detective finds his career -- and life -- on the line.
When Savannah detective Duncan Hatcher is summoned to an unusual crime scene, he knows discretion is key. Influential Judge Cato Laird's beloved trophy wife, Elise, has fatally shot a burglar. She claims self-defense, but Duncan suspects she's lying, and puts his career in jeopardy by investigating further. Then, in secret, Elise makes an incredible allegation, which he dismisses as the lie of a cunning woman trying to exploit his intense attraction to her. But when Elise goes missing, Duncan finds that trusting the wrong person could mean the difference between life and death for both of them.
