But I thought I was a hideous fatty-no-friends that nobody would ever want to see shirtless!
I thought you were leaving.
Enchanted, you giving me hope! ^^
I was applying as extra cast when Twilight New Moon still casting for ethnic werewolves. But they turned me down 'cuz Im too skinny?
I lied. This is really me:
Aww,thank you guys...You all are such a sweethearts

Meh heh....
all better....
Give me a few more months and I will. I'm on my way to my goal weight. 28 pounds to go.
You girls are funny sometimes.
I remember this time in band camp.....

Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party. ~Joan Crawford
What is it that you want to say about obesity that you feel you aren't allowed to say?
And where the fuck are your abs, btw? Because I didn't see any in your picture.
I think you should stop putting words in my mouth,and try to read between lines.
But as you are obviously limited,i'm gonna explain you with less words as possible;Some people got angry,because I don't find them hot.That's all.Should I try to explain any better,or you finally got it?
Ench, unfortunately all the JUB Bullies are now out to get you.
They were quite happy to salivate over your pictures for months.
But now, you have 'admitted thought processes' which they say are 'thought-crimes', they will be picking on you.
Ah fuck it.
My profile picture is of me shirtless. It was taken back in March, and you've all seen it before.
I can't be arsed taking a new one for this thread, I'm just here for the drama.
Overweight, hairy, over 40. Deal with it.

My Head Hurt for 3 Days & 3/4 of My Hair Fell Out! I'm in Tears.
Posted by
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- I've been using Loreal hair color, Frost & design & Hair lightning products since I was 17 yrs old. I am 49 now. I know how to use the products correctly. Approx. between Oct. 2011 & Jan.2012 I bought Loreal's Frost & Design here in Jacksonville FL. May 2012 the Friday before Easter Sunday I used the Frost & Design on my hair. As it was on my head I asked my family members if they smelled it because I smelled nothing at all & there is always a particular smell while using it. I thought maybe it is now odorless, although it did not say that on the box.
After rinsing my hair & blowing it dry I noticed that I did not have a noticeable lighting effect in my hair as usual. Approx 3 to 4 days later the top of my head hurt so badly that I put aloe Vera gel & tea tree oil on it & saturated it to ease the pain, I left it on for 2 days straight. Once I washed the aloe Vera gel & tea tree oil out of my hair, I had hand fulls of my hair in my tub & in my hands. I just cried uncontrollable. My hair continued to fall out for about a month and a half after that. My hair was very thick & curly & now I look like I have had recent radiation and chemo.
There are no words to describe how I feel. I did call Loreal & they said they would pay for my doctors visit but assured me it was not due to their product & no one else has had this happen to them. Most of my hair came out at the roots and some hair broke off. I made an appt with my doctor & he ran many tests & told me that nothing at all showed up in my blood work to show any medical reason as to why my head hurt for 3 days & lost most of my hair thereafter. I have loved & trusted Loreal all my life. Now, I am so afraid to ever use any Loreal hair products ever again. Every woman LOVES their hair & I surely loved mine.
Now I wear hats & my smile is gone. I plan on hiring a lawyer for justice & compensation. Women, be careful & I say "Save your used empty boxes for proof for at least a week after you have colored your hair, just in case this happens to you." If this has happened to any one else, please call Loreal & write a report here. There must be a re-call asap & all victims need to be compensated. I'd prefer just to have my hair back as it was, but it is too late for me. (extremely sad)

It will be interesting to see if there are other complaints. If not, the lawsuit will be a tough slog.

Is this it? It does say new formula, humm. Thanks for the warning!
Frost and Design Dramatic Hi-Precision Pull-Through Cap Highlights have a new time-saving formula that leaves you with a delectable swirl of creamy highlights for a sun-kissed glow. Pull-Through Cap lets you select the exact strands you want lightened so that you can avoid messy mistakes and unwanted results. Choose from two different styling hooks to create subtle or bold highlights. Finish with a toning rinse to infuse hair with extra shine.
DebtorBasher on 08/02/2012:
Did you also check the aloe Vera gel & tea tree oil you used? I know you had a problem with the pain before you used it, but it seems your hair started to fall out as soon as you used the gel, which was 3-4 after the L'Oreal.
I'm not doubting that you've suffered from this and believe me, with hair down to by butt, I can well understand how upsetting this would be to anyone.
If you do plan on hiring a lawyer for compensation, then be careful what you accept from the company. If they offer to pay your doctor bills and you accept that...it may be looked at as a settlement and you may not be compensated any further.
Please keep us posted. Good luck!
siggy222 on 08/03/2012:
The Aloe Vera gel & the tea tree oil my family uses often for sunburns & such. It is very good for the skin & the scalp, that is why I put it on my head. I wish now I had gone to the emergency room though.
D. on 08/07/2012:
If your scalp is protected by a cap, and you are only highlighting strands that are pulled through the cap, how is your scalp affected and your hair falling out in clumps? Are you sure you are using the frost and design product? In your 2011 photo your hair seems to be highlighted but in your 2012 your hair is not.
Sabrina on 05/27/2013:
I have just used L'Oreals hair dye as well and upon searching to see if anyone had similar results I found this. My hair has been falling out in several strands EVERY single time I run my hand through my hair.
Lorraine on 06/09/2013:
This is scary! I've been using Loreal or Nice n Easy to color my hair for 20 yrs. All my hair. I used Loreal the last 2 times as the price was good. My hair's coming out in handfuls for the last 2 months... my hairdresser said not to worry as I still had plenty of hair.... but at this rate?? I notice breaking hair and falling out at the roots, and to me it looks way thinner. Let's keep the comments coming!

I Ain't Got Nobody.. But Now I Do!
Posted by
I have baby fine, fragile hair that's poker straight. I am always looking for products to give it a boost, and the proof is in my collection of shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, gels and mouse, all used just one time before being retired to The Home under the bathroom sink. So when L'Oreal came out with its new EverStrong line, I tried to ignore it because I didn't want to be tempted to buy another product that would be used only once. But then something came along to convince me to open my wallet, and that was The Almighty Coupon! There's nothing like a coupon and a sale to get me to try a product.
I am happy to report that L'Oreal's EverStrong Bodify Shampoo out performed all the products in my graveyard under the sink, and even gave me better results than Pantene Full and Thick shampoo, my old standby. I noticed the difference after the first use, just like it says on the bottle. My short, fine hair felt stronger and was easier to style with the blow dryer, but it didn't feel covered in product like some others seem to do. It had a lot of fullness that felt very natural. The shampoo is thick and creamy and lathers very well. And of course, as advertised, it is sulfate-free. I was so pleased that I found another coupon and ran out to get the conditioner.
I don't usually recommend hair products because everyone has different issues and uses different styling techniques, but I think anyone with hair like mine who styles with a blow dryer will not be disappointed with EverStrong. I think this shampoo would also address some of the problems men have with their hair, and the smell is appropriate for everyone.
So, what are you waiting for?.. Go get yourself a tube of L'Oreal's EverStrong Shampoo! And if you're not looking for some body, there are other varieties, too.

Good stuff. I've been meaning to write a review about this L'Oreal face wash but I want to give it a little more time.
Venice09 on 03/30/2010:
I was thinking of giving the shampoo a little more time before praising the results, but I was just so pleased, I couldn't help myself. And it does come in different varieties. I think there was a smoothing one, but I really didn't give it much attention because that's the last thing I need.
Thanks, everyone.

Good review Venice. I'll have to try this L'Oreal--because I'm worth it.
DebtorBasher on 03/30/2010:
Thanks for the review. I don't have thin hair, but it seems to pull an 'Ejack' on me and goes limp. Maybe I'll check this out and see how it works for me.
Venice09 on 03/30/2010:
If you try it, yaya, let me know what you think. I used it again and am still pleased.
I'm worth it too, Slim!.. that's why I also bought the conditioner. That's something I never do .
Well.. I don't know if this will help ejack, but you certainly can give it a try, DB!

I'm almost out of the Herbal Essence that I use and have been wanting to try a new product. So this review is good timing
DebtorBasher on 03/30/2010:
I used to love the smell of Herbal Essence...until they changed it.
Anonymous on 03/30/2010:
Yeah I don't like the new Herbal Essence as much either
Nohandle on 03/30/2010:
I also have short, fine, straight hair but mine is thick as mud. That helps a great deal in my case but I still don't have any body in my hair. I'll give this product a try. It might even cut down on the use of a curling iron. Thanks.
Venice09 on 03/30/2010:
Speaking of smell, you might not be crazy about the smell of this shampoo. I'm really sensitive to smells, and this wasn't my favorite but not overpowering either.
Nohandle, I use the cold shot on my blow dryer to style, and my hair seemed to hold it's shape better with this shampoo. That's what surprised me the most. It just seemed more manageable. And my hair still looked good the next day, but I did also use gel and hairspray.
Anonymous on 04/03/2010:
Venice, I love you for this review! I tried the L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner today. My hair is so soft and full of body, even my brother noticed. I agree about the smell. It doesn't smell as nice as Herbal Essence, but my hair looks great so I can deal with the smell.
Venice09 on 04/03/2010:
Yaya, I was just going to post here again today to say that I finally used the conditioner and love it as much as the shampoo. And I hardly ever use conditioner because that's the last thing I need.
I'm so glad you got the same results I did. As I said, I usually don't recommend hair care products because I am usually disappointed with the ones recommended to me. But I was just so pleased with my hair after only one use of the shampoo that I had to share my experience.
Even if I stop loving it sometime down the road, I'll still be grateful for all the good hair days I had using this shampoo. And with sulfates getting such a bad rap lately, it's nice to know this is sulfate free!
lmht81 on 08/14/2010:
Oh my gosh, I was going to post a similar review and go figure I come across YOURS! I have a feeling we'll be great "friends"! ;)
So, my hair is just like yours, only long - and I also typically use another brand but my local walmart was out, and this was on sale - so lazy me said f-it, I'll try it. AMAZING. Now the only thing that worries me is EVERY time I fall in love with a product it gets discontinued. Fingers crossed, because this stuff is the bees knees!
Venice09 on 08/14/2010:
If anyone's the kiss of death, it's ME! Every time I find something I think I can't live without, it's either discontinued or the formula changes.
I've been meaning to post an update on this review. I'm still using this stuff and it's still working great. Sometimes the thrill wears off and it's not as good as you originally thought, but these products are still going strong. I'm so glad you tried it. I was hesitant at first because nothing is ever what I expect it to be. I have so many products that I only used a few times and are now taking up space. But so far this shampoo and conditioner have withstood the test of time. Now let's just hope they don't change it!

Advertisements Using Kids to Look Like Adults
Posted by
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND -- The new L'oreal commercial for lipstick has a girl who must be 12. Commercial is inappropriate as she grabs the guys head to make out with him. Wow marketing for the wrong people and making little kids a little too grown up.

Are you sure she was 12? I always think people are younger than they are. And certain people, like models, are even harder tp determine their age.
Bonnie on 10/03/2012:
She looked even younger than 12, I thought ... I was shocked towards the end, when the camera panned in on her face ... she looked more like an 8 year old with a LOT of makeup ... and even if she is 16 .... they purposely chose a model (girl) who definitely looked wayyyyy younger than what was appropriate ... It's really quite scary I think ... and I will certainly think twice about purchasing ANYTHING with the L'Oreal name on it !
JDL on 11/13/2012:
This add is so disturbing to me. I have two girls, 10 and 11. There are no words for how inappropriate this add is. I will NEVER buy anything made by L'oreal again. I can't. Unbelievable!
Eileen on 01/25/2013:
I can't believe they think using a child for this ad is appropriate... with all the pediphiles and child trafficking.. it makes me sick to see children exploited.. they should be ashamed of theirselves....
Karen on 01/30/2013:
I agree with all of you. I was very shocked to see a child made up and modeled as an adult. Wrong and Inappropriate. You are not focussing on your woman audiance and need to reconsider your advertising...Very upset!! Put me back from buying the product!!
consumer on 03/28/2013:
Other sites say this model is 18. Regardless, she looks 12 or 13 to me, and her use by L'Oreal in an ad with provocative sexual overtones is clearly deliberate and, for this company, shameful. Eighteen or not, they are capitalizing on her childlike appearance in a way that should be criminalized.
Larry on 05/31/2013:
She is Barbara Palvin and is 19 years old. She is a "doll baby", not in a sexual way, just cute as a pin!

Tonight, based on extensive reviews and articles in Vogue, etc...I tried INOA haircolor at Salon Metro in Florida. The stylist is very experienced, and I have had all over color for 6 years with Redken and Aveda, most recently. This is the most unflattering result I have ever seen, the color is very flat with no dimension or shine. Overall, in 6 years of salon coloring, this is by far the worst result I have had. I will NEVER use this product again and will immediately return to Aveda.
More expensive than any haircolor I have ever had in 6 years for the least beautiful result. Be aware this haircolor is not good at all.

Jrodriguezfl on 08/24/2010:
Is this your first time trying the INOA haircolor over the Redken and Aveda? The reason I ask is because when I tried using a different brand of hair color over previous all over color, a lot of times the ingredients in the new dye clash big time with the previous brands. I talked to so many stylists and learned a lot about hair dyes and some contain metallics that actually coat your hair shaft permanently, which could cause a much different result when coloring again. Hopefully you can at least get a refund on your services but I would try to get some info on the hair dye that was applied.
Anne on 01/13/2012:
Hi, live in the UK and switched to INOA to avoid ammonia. But this week my salon told me that L'oreal have taken back all their INOA products because they are bringing out an updated version which is simpler to mix. This just does not ring true - if it was purely a case of easier mixing why go to all the trouble and inconvenience of a recall of the original product? Maybe I am too suspicious but something does not seem right here. Anyone else heard anything about this ?

Never Ending Lipstick
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I have a tube of your Loreal Endless lipstick in 200 rose.
I am unable to use this because it is so drying to my lips
that when I apply it, my lips end up chapped and peeling.
I don't have this problem with other brands. I have no choice
but to throw it away. I bought it because of your claim
that it lasts longer, but it's not worth the discomfort I
had to pay the price you require.

Poor Container Design
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Your newest upgrade of the Mega Mousse container has me wondering just how in touch or out of touch you are with your end users. It is apparent that you have no idea who your loyal customers and consumers of your older line of products are. We are NOT fad conscious teens or young adults. They have no product loyalty. We are those 'old farts' that grew up in an age of product loyalty and if it works we stick with it.
Your recent redesign of this product makes the dispensing almost impossible for anyone with arthritic hands. I get insufficient product out of the container with maximum effort. You've got to have the end-users like myself test these things before you release them.
After many years of using this products happily and successfully, I will now have to find a new product with a manufacturer who has some consciousness about use and who values committed customers!
You've lost me!

Horrible Customer Service? How About None!
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I called the 800 number listed on their website. It directed me to the name directory, or asked me for an extension, neither of which I knew. So it told me to dial 0 for the operator, who didn't pick up after 27 rings. Next day I try again and, once again, no operator after 38 rings!! So next I got back to the main menu, and start over, dialing the operator - this time she picks up after 12 rings -- and guess what: she gives me another 800 number for customer service.
So I call it, and get a recording saying beauty advisors are assisting other customers, but please hold, because my call is important to them. Baloney! I sat on hold for 10 minutes and gave up. Incredibly lax for such a huge company.

Anonymous on 03/03/2009:
10 minutes is not a long time to wait on hold. I usually will wait on hold 30 to 45 minutes before I hang up and call at another time. And yes, they are a huge company which is why you do have to hold awhile before reaching someone. It is very rare that someone will pick up right away. Patience is required sometimes.

(HIP) High Intensity Pigments Eyeliner

LOS ANGELES -- I bought the "HIP" eyeliner two weeks ago. I thought it would be a great product because it's supposed to be hypoallergenic and it's pretty pricey, but it being hypoallergenic is far from the truth. After wearing it the first time, my eyes turned blood shot red and I was seeing blurry. I went to the hospital and the doctors weren't sure what to say. They thought I had an eye infection and I thought "Maybe I do" I wasn't sure.
At first I didn't make the connection. I was given antibiotic drops for my eyes for five days. I used them and my eyes cleared up. Two days later, I went to my friends wedding and used the same eyeliner and by the time I got to the reception my eyes were once again blood shot red and I was seeing blurry again.
I finally made the connection- I didn't have an eye infection, this product is causing me harm. WHAT DO THEY PUT IN THIS DAMN eyeliner?

do you line extra close to your inner eye? if so, it could be seeping into your eyes.
CrystalSword on 06/17/2008:
People assume when they see 'hypoallergenic,' that it means that no one can be allergic to it. Nothing could be further from the truth. Anything in the world you can name, someone is allergic to it, Hypo is from the Greek, meaning under, as in hypodermic needle. All hypoalergenic means is that fewer people are allergic to it than the norm. I am allergic to metal, probably nickel. My body chemistry reacts with metals in watches and other jewelry. If it isn't surgical stainless steel or good, high-quality gold, I can't wear it. I break out, then my body eats the plating off the item. I could tell you some things I have heard about people having allergies that would curl your hair. BTW, this is Starlord, we are on our kid's pc and it is too much trouble to change ID's, and everyone knows I am allergic to work. LOL
Ponie on 06/17/2008:
Right, Crystal (Starlord). After wearing costume jewelry for some time, my Sis began breaking out from the earrings. She then began wearing nothing but the hypoallergenic surgical steel earrings. Later, she developed rashes not only on the ears, but under rings and watches as well. She was told by a dermatologist to keep away from all metals--except 12K or higher gold. My BIL wasn't too happy about that because he had to shell out some big $$$ to replace all her costume jewelry. But at least she no longer has the problem.
Bathory on 07/23/2008:
So........you are sensitive to one or more of the ingredients in the product. So don't use it! I have used this product with no issues at all, and so have thousands of other people. Find something your eyes can handle, and stick with it; or don't use makeup at all.
Jane on 07/03/2013:
The same thing happened to me! Stay away from this eye liner. The infection doesn't go away until you get an antibiotic that will clear it up. Very bloodshot eyes, white goop and burning. I figured this out after I got the eye infection for the 3rd time. I traced it back to the eye liner. Thank God I had refills. Thought it was just allergy season. I have never had an issue with makeup before. This is the first. Not a pleasant experience. Glad to hear that I was not the only person experiencing this.

Age Perfect Make-up for Mature Skin
Posted by
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA -- Oh my gosh, am I ecstatic about finding this 'new' foundation make-up. Never in my life would I have ever thought of putting on a foundation with a brush. This 'new' mousse type foundation is terrific. It make your skin look natural, even if you don't get the correct color. It even lasts longer than any other make-up and I have been a Mary Kay user for many years. This foundation does exactly what the box says it will do.
If you want to try any foundation, this is highly recommended for that 'aging' skin.
I am so glad I found it. And the price, I paid $16.95 a package in a California Rite-Aid A little steep I think, but well worth it.
Kudos to the developer(s).

Good review. I will certainly consider this product, in the (near) future. I just wish there were more details about how well it worked.
gloccamorra on 02/16/2008:
I would also like to recommend Loreal Age Perfect foundation. Just tried it. Love the mousse/gel/cream consistency. Easy to apply. (Although I use my fingers.) Love the finish it puts on my skin. VERY flattering. I use Nude Beige, which I thought might be too dark, but love it, since I have yellow undertones, to my skin. This is great "drugstore" makeup.

The writer's path in Ghana: a happy turn
A special guest post by Mamle KABU, a 2014 Fall Resident from Ghana.Writers Project of Ghana (WPG), of which I am a co-director, had just received a commitment from the Miles Morland Foundation in the UK for a generous grant.
The WPG is a charitable organization dedicated to promoting Ghanaian writers and nurturing new literary talent. It reaches out to writers through various programs and activities including public readings, writing workshops and a weekly live radio program. It was established in 2008 with funding from the US Embassy. However it is not easy to find funding for the arts in Ghana and the organization has kept going mainly through the dedication of its principal director, Martin Egblewogbe and of a handful of staunch members.
In any society, it is daunting for new writers to find their voices and go public with their work. Ghana is no exception to this. There is no clear-cut path laying out the nebulous business of 'becoming a writer,' no creative writing degrees, a brutally limited reading public and a publishing industry that can be far from writer-friendly. The best-known literary names are from the older generations, many Ghanaian writers based abroad are virtually unknown at home and it is only in recent years that an appreciable swell of contemporary writing has begun to make itself felt in-country.
In this environment, the opportunity to attend a writers' workshop or to feature as a guest reader on a radio program even without any published work to one's name, is literally a lifeline for an aspiring writer. With its new grant, the WPG hopes to strengthen its fundraising capacity among other things and, together with other writers' groups like the Ghana Association of Writers and the Mbaasem Foundation (for women writers), illuminate further the difficult pathway to becoming a writer.

#Iwritehere: Where do you write?
There's still time to enroll in How Writers Write Poetry, which opens June 28, 2014. The course is part of a new University of Iowa MOOC series: How Writers Write: Talks on Craft and Commitment; a fiction writing course will launch in September 2014.
Special thanks to Between the Lines counselor Nana for letting us post this photo of her writing space. More photos of Nana's spaces here.
Hey Poets: 32 Day Countdown to Poetry Writing MOOC
Here's a quick introduction to the course from instructors Mary Hickman and Christopher Merrill. A complete course syllabus can be found here.
How Writers Write Poetry is part of a new University of Iowa MOOC series: How Writers Write: Talks on Craft and Commitment; a fiction writing course will launch in September 2014.
Who is Your Rumi? New Film Explores Rumi's International Poetic Legacy
The lyrical 49-minute documentary can be viewed at: http://iwp.uiowa.edu/programs/international-conferences/the-same-gate alongside a 13-minute companion feature in which participants tackle the question "Who is your Rumi?" exploring how, eight centuries after his death, Rumi remains a central poet in Afghan, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Turkish literature and a bestselling poet in the U.S..
--Bina Shah (Writer/Journalist, Pakistan)
Bezjian recorded dozens of hours of interviews with participants, who included Pakistani writer and New York Times columnist Bina Shah and National Book Award winner Marilyn Hacker, capturing excursions retracing Rumi's steps in Turkey, visiting the poet's shrine in Konya, and even meeting with Esin Celebi Bayru, Rumi's granddaughter twenty-one generations removed.91st Meridian Editor Nataša Durovicová who is compiling the 120-page volume of ghazals (a poetic form employed by Rumi), prose reflections, and essays by The Same Gate participants, to be published by Autumn Hill Books.
--Golan Haji (Poet/Translator, Syria/France)
The Same Gate conference brought writers from six countries together to converse, collaborate, and challenge each other's ideas, using Rumi's poetry as common ground. The film and accompanying volume of collaborative work capture the rich intellectual and cultural exchange made possible by the project, embodying the Rumi ghazal that gave The Same Gate its name.
A hub of connection & new ideas: IWP's 2013 annual report
overseas reading tours to Iraq, Burma, Sudan and South Sudan, Uzbekistan, Turkemenistan and elsewhere; the WhitmanWeb multimedia gallery featuring translations, commentaries and audio recordings of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself"; The Virtual Writing University's development of the Open Courses website as a platform and home for University of Iowa and IWP MOOCs (massive open online courses); and other exciting IWP programming.
Book Wings--that arise out of the countless interpersonal connections IWP strives to facilitate between writers around the globe. It also includes a glimpse of IWP's first Community Engagement Fellow Patrícia Portela's HORTUS sound installation as well as an excerpt of the moving tribute Fall Resident Martin Dyar offered during a celebration of the life and work of late Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, held in Iowa City in October 2013. We hope you'll stop by, take a look, and let us know what you think.
University of Iowa launches Creative Writing MOOC Series
Writing exercises, discussion, and workshops
In the course discussion forum, Hickman, the teaching assistants, and the MOOC participants will examine points raised in the craft talks. The IWP expects to draw an international roster of users, so the teaching assistants will maintain an active presence in the discussion forum around the clock to support ongoing interaction in all time zones (though the course's working language is English). Participants will be invited to post their poetry for discussion, and each week Hickman and the teaching assistants will workshop a representative collection of the submitted poems.
"The response to our first MOOC was terrific," said IWP distance learning coordinator Susannah Shive. More than 2,000 people enrolled in Every Atom: Walt Whitman's Song of Myself in February 2014. "We were thrilled by the participants' deep engagement with the subject and one another in the discussion forum, and we're especially excited to offer How Writers Write Poetry participants the opportunity to bring that energy and commitment into workshops of their own poetry. Workshopping hasn't really been done in the MOOC world yet, and we're confident we've figured out how to make it work."
The course, taught in English, is free and open to anyone with an internet connection. To enroll, visit: http://courses.writinguniversity.org/course/how-writers-write-poetry
The MOOC series How Writers Write: Talks on Craft and Commitment is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and by the University of Iowa, and hosted by the Virtual Writing University with the goal of encouraging global academic and creative exchange.
HORTUS: a soundscape of birdsong
With the process to select 2014 IWP Fall Residents in full swing, we thought it might be fun to look back at one of the highlights of the 2013 Fall Residency.2013 Iowa City Book Festival got an unexpected treat: a soundscape of synthetic birdsong. The birdsong was part of an innovative sound installation project, HORTUS, organized by 2013 Fall Resident Patrícia Portela (Portugal), IWP's inaugural Community Engagement Fellow, in collaboration with Belgian artist Christoph De Boeck. For four days in October, festival-goers, pedestrians, and community members gazed up curiously into the trees or paused to read the digital plaques along Iowa City's downtown Pedestrian Mall.
A glimpse of a similar 2012 HORTUS exhibition:

Layers of Cultural Exchange: Spectator notes from Book Wings 2014
A special guest post by University of Iowa student Sara Cooper.Book Wings 2014, the first a collaboration between the University of Iowa (UI) and the University of Baghdad, the second between UI and the Moscow Art Theatre. Both performances took place in the Theater Building on the UI campus.
The most interesting aspect of Book Wings 2014 for me were the many layers on which cultural exchange could be tracked. While one channel of exchange expressed one kind of relationship between the two countries, another channel portrayed the relationship differently. For example, while the verbal exchanges between the Iowa City and the Baghdad moderator in the Iraq-America Book Wings were polite and gracious, the staging of the American plays in Arabic in the Baghdadi theatre gave a different message. Thus the decision, by the Iraqi director, to omit portions of the original text from the American play "Shelter Drills" and instead have the actors perform silently or to mime made the audience in the US (which had access to the full original texts in their program booklets) assume there was tension between the two countries that could not be surmounted by the fiction, and that dialogue was therefore deleted in favor of more neutral acting techniques. Face to face the two countries' moderators interacted amicably, but the performances made me feel as though the relationship between the two countries was much more complicated than the moderators' tone and style have any hint of.1Shambaugh house blog note: Vladimir Kulikov provided interpretation on the Iowa Stage during the Book Wings Russia Q&A immediately following the performance.2Shambaugh House blog note: the decision to have only one interpreter was made jointly by the partners in both cases, in the interest of streamlining the performance and shortening the performance time.
Oscar Ranzo On Going Home
The "On Going Home" series offers a glimpse of what returning home means for authors who have spent three months in the U.S. as part of the International Writing Program's Fall Residency. This week's installment comes to us from Oscar Ranzo, writing from Uganda in January 2014:Oasis Book Project as swiftly as though I had never been away. I'd hoped I'd be able to lay low for some time while gradually shocking people who still thought I might be abroad by calling them using my Ugandan phone. But as soon as I called the first person, the word quickly spread that I was back, and before I knew it the very thing I'd been desperate to avoid – the excitement synonymous with returning home from a trip to America – was happening: the fusspots were organizing a welcome party for me. In vain I tried to stop it, but my siblings were adamant it had to happen, and gave so many reasons why it had to, until in the ended I relented and let it be, but not without insisting that it be kept a kindred affair.
And a lovely Kindred Affair it was, a rare get together which started with my first proper Ugandan meal in months (Ugandan food is the only thing I seriously missed in Iowa) and ended with me sharing my American story right from being nominated and selected for the International Writing Program to being awarded the title of Honorary Fellow in Writing at the end of the residency, from time to time my narrative being interrupted by questions from a curious brother, sister or cousin. 'So what does that title mean?' A cousin asked, and everyone paid attention, but didn't seem to understand, while I tried to explain the significance of my honorary title. That's when it occurred to me that for the first time in months I was the only writer in a room of more than two people. Throughout my time in Iowa I had become used to being in the company of writers, most of them much more accomplished than me, and it always felt nice listening to and learning from the deep literary conversations they often had.
But that was Iowa, a UNESCO city of Literature; this was home, a literary desert, and now that I was back, I knew I had to, and have once again, become used to being the only writer, not only in my close circle of family and friends, but also in my entire hometown of more than 70,000 people. Without doubt I miss the company of other writers, and all the literary activities, especially the book readings and writer discussions that were commonplace in Iowa City. At times I also have nostalgic recollections of my life in Iowa: I particularly miss the warm baths, the washing machine, and the weekly house cleanings. I, too, miss the spacious, well stocked libraries, the gigantic book stores, the street benches, where my muse was always on a high, and, every time I use the internet here, with its frustrating speeds and unreliable connections, I miss the very fast internet speeds, let alone the stable connections that were the norm in America.
Worthy of Pursuit: Spectator notes from Book Wings Iraq 2014
A special guest post by GWENDOLYN GILLSON, a PhD student in the University of Iowa Department of Religious Studies, who was in the audience during the March 11, 2014 Book Wings theatre exchange with the University of Baghdad.
One of the highlights of the performances for me was the idea of linguistic boundaries. These performances emphasized and at the same time minimized the spaces between our respective cultures and languages. Surtitles helped with following along with the basics of communication, but I know that my inability to understand Arabic hindered my appreciation for the symbolic intricacies of those plays. At the same time, the visual format of the plays worked on a more emotional and less intellectual level so that even when I did not understand what specifically was happening on stage, I was able to connect emotional through the visual medium. When it was revealed that "Shelter Drills" was to be a completely embodied performance without speech, I was surprised but also intrigued because it challenged me to think about the ways that powerful meaning can be conveyed without words.
Looking toward the future, Book Wings is an artistic experience extremely worthy of pursuit. It helps people who may not understand each other work through differences and gives a new way of thinking about language and cultural relationships. Art is an excellent way to cross boundaries and Book Wings challenges people to look across boundaries that many people do not even want to consider. For the future, I hope that there will be a more equal linguistic exchange, such that the American side will have an Arabic-language translator on location. Only through understanding and respect will the world be able to move towards peaceful solutions. Performances such as Book Wings are excellent exchanges of culture, language, and art.

Few things I noticed quick like.
- You do not have 4 Piece Tier 10, This means you are lacking an available cooldown. Picking that up is 12% less damage your taking for 10 seconds every time you use it.
- Neither you, or the Warrior Tank, has a improved attack debuff. One of you applying it would decrease damage intake by roughly another 4-5% minimum per hit. If the Debuff you have ever drops it's an automatic 10% or more increase in damage taken.
- Your tank swaps are not working properly, across all your attempts Rune of Blood healed him for 10,225,920 health.
- If Thunderclap ever drops, you suddenly start taking attacks 14% faster then previous because you do not have infected wounds maxed out.
- It appears you died first more then the warrior, your healers may not be switching quick enough, you may want to try giving them more warning and / or using cooldowns when you taunt (if you are not already)
- Your shaman should be using Stoneskin totem, do not be afraid to use Indestructible potions.
- You may want to consider a Glyph of Indom for 50 Triumph Badges, this would give you another cooldown.
- If you are tanking Saurfang with Maul Glyph, you may be aggroing the Blood Beasts resulting in increased damage intake, as well as increased Blood Power gain.

About alwaysakid's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've been into cars for as long as I can remember and have attended car shows in at least 10 different states from the Eastern Seaboard to the Rocky Mountains over the past 30 years. I like original antique cars, but have a taste for street rods and customs as well. I like the styling of the 1950s best. I currently own a two-owner 1961 Thunderbird, a 1950 Studebaker, and a modified 1951 Chevy sedan delivery that will soon belong to my son. Past rides of interest have included a 1960 Oldsmobile 88, 1954 Nash Metropolitan, 1958 Mercury Monteclair, 1966 Chevy Nova, 1971 Chevy Caprice and a 1968 Rambler American, not necessarily in that order.
My first car
My first car, a 1973 Datsun 610, was bought more out of practicality and as a political statement than for its styling or performance.
Car I wish I still had
I wish I still had my 1966 Nova, minus the damage a Rochester, NY taxi did to it one day when my wife was driving it. That was back before they knew how to straighten a bent frame.
My dream car
I'll try to keep the list as short as I can. But near the top would be a 1936 or 1937 Cord, 1955 or 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria and a 1957-1960 Studebaker Hawk.

Coming tomorrow!
Harner 3? My interest has piqued.
The Harner listings (yup, plural) are going to have to wait until Sunday for a few reasons. Number one, my calipers went missing. Number two, I'm keeping one and I have to figure out which one. Merry Christmas to me!!! And number three, I'm giving a person, who asked a long time ago about the Harner stabbers (are these stabbers?.. I dunno!) a chance to write me for first dibs. Just write and say the little tidbit that nobody else would know and we can see if these are what you want. I must have deleted your email, but I know when you write, it'll remind who it was
My only problem with your site is too many of the knives are already sold.
You know what...I appreciate the input. I might have to work on the organization of it a bit. I like that it's a "search and discover" type of site, but I can definitely make it a bit easier to use. Thanks again for the comment.
You're not thinking of me, Tom? Since I got one after we talked about 'first-dibs'. Probably more people who asked about the stabbers, just thought I'd tell you if it slipped your mind
And also, there hasn't really been much stabbing in our kitchen but it's still a fitting name for the knife.
Haha. I hope you don't have to use it to stab, but if you were in a New York kitchen.... I heard from the person who asked about Butch's work and I will have the remaining knives listed by Monday afternoon.
The Harner's look great, Tom. Wish I could treat myself
Thanks! They more than look great...they ARE great! I don' treat twelfth very often, and I had to have one of these. Tha says a lot. You have great taste

I Want You To Take Part In The 30 Days Song Challenge
Read the Rules! 14,498 People
Day 2 - My Least Favorite Song (Justin Bieber - Baby)Oh god, how I hate this song. Justin's voice is so squeaky and horrible to listen to, and the song is repetitive and completely uninteresting. The rap part is the best part, but it feels completely forced and unneeded.
