Mental Health in Korea
So, before we begin, we just want to state how hesitant we were to talk about this topic. It's a sensitive topic, and I know that some keyboard warriors get very defensive when we talk about issues in Korea. We saw this topic come up a few times in the questions you send us, and we figured that now, after we've done a couple lighthearted topics, we could tackle this subject, without our TL;DRs seeming too overwhelmingly serious. Serious topics are great at times, but put up too many in a row and people will start thinking of you differently. More awkward stories and fart jokes are needed to water down the severity.
Back to talking srsly: what surprises us the most about discussions on mental health in Korea is the lack of talk about it from Korean teachers. ADHD is a fairly open topic to discuss, from our experiences at least, as teachers in Canada. In Canada, before we stepped into any classroom we taught we'd be given a list of all of the special needs of the students in the class. For instance, I once had a student in Canada who needed all of his handouts to be printed on blue paper. In Korea, we weren't given any such reports. We were just warned about bad students. That's it. The students who we saw had ADHD weren't accommodated by teachers, just ignored, or thought of as bad seeds. Students with autism were also just left to their own devices. Any talk about special needs for students was met with blank stares. Maybe it was just our schools. Maybe things have changed since then. I hope they have, because there are students in Korea who need help and aren't getting it.
Outside of the classroom, though, this is a topic that we have very little experience with in Korea. We haven't experienced any counselling services here, and so we can't compare them to the ones we received ourselves while we were in Canada. When we asked people here in Korea who have friends in universities, though, we were told that very little in terms of services are offered. Is that the case for all universities? I'm not sure. Hell, I'm not even sure if all universities in Canada offer counselling services. We do know that they were really important to us when we needed them. In our video Martina talked about her use of counsellors. I was going to a counsellor right up until I met Martina as well. Both of us benefitted greatly from our counsellors, and we wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for the help we got. Especially considering the high suicide rate in Korea, a more open and accepting approach to counselling wouldn't hurt. Soo Zee says it's starting to happen in morning shows more. Hopefully we can see the topic approached more broadly from now on.
Since we don't know that much more about it, and can't really say more about the topic, if you've got anything to share, any info you can give, now's the time to share. Any places you know of that are useful, any services that you know that are offered now, let us know, and hopefully other readers here can use that info if they need it.
Anyhow, if you liked this video, and want to see us talk more about our experiences in Korea, you should subscribe! We just passed the 400,000 subscriber mark today. Huzzah! Time to start planning out a video to celebrate! Till then, you should click on the button below if you haven't already:
Filed Under:
I realize that this is a couple months after the video was posted, but I wanted to say something about this because of my experience as both a student in Canada and South Korea. I have OCD, general and social anxiety, as well as a tendency for depression; due to this, a psychologist I was seeing recommended some accommodations during my time at university, which Queens wholehearted granted me, along with a few others that the counsellors there thought would benefit me. There was an entire department designated to helping students dealing with mental illnesses and making arrangements for them with their professors (ie. coordinating for a student to write an exam in a separate room). Professors were always informed of these accommodations, but never questioned them.
In my third year, I went on exchange to Korea University. Not wanting to leave things to the last minute, I asked the North American contact (about three months in advance) who to contact about my mental illness and my accommodations from a psychologist – I even sent him the letter from the psychologist and the Queens list of accommodations. He didn't give me anybody to contact but said he would pass on the papers to the right people. When I got to the University, I wasn't told of anybody I could contact and was told that the best I could do was tell the professors that I usually get accommodations and it was up to them to decide what I would have. Most of them were fairly good, although none really understood WHY I needed them, even if I tried to explain. During midterms, I had three in the same day (while one of my accommodations was to only ever have one exam per day) and no teacher was willing to change their midterm; because I was so stressed, I didn't write any of them. I emailed somebody from the department for exchange students when I calmed down enough and they referred me to somebody else, who referred me to another person who then asked me to come in the next day. I never got to see an actual psychologist because there was no program in place for exchange/foreign students with mental illness to go to or contact – there was a very small one with a resource room for Korean students, however.
I try to be very open about my OCD and anxiety, so I tell most of my friends. Whenever I told Korean friends though, a lot of them didn't know what I was talking about.
Long story short: I have a mental illness and it was easily recognized and accommodated for in Canada. When in Korea, I struggled to get any accommodations because of lack of resources and recognition. I was told, however, that because of my stressful experience, they would start up a program for exchange students with mental illness. I don't know if they did, but I hope nobody else has to go through all the undo stress and lack organization that I had to deal with.
I'm interested in being an English teacher in Korea but I'm not sure if I'd get the job because I'm on medication for Anxiety and have been for a while. I've also been through a lot of therapists too and I'm not sure if that's going to be an issue or not. I would just like to know if it's worth it for me to go back to college or would I be wasting my time.
I was going to write an essay on this topic, do you know of any other sources I can look up? (Also is it okay if I use you guys a s a source as well?)
For the next TL;DR: Can you turn right on a red light? Are the street signs like in Canada? If not, how is it different?
Thanks for discussing this topic. I've always wondered how people with mental illnesses are treated and how mental illness are looked at in general. Since I'm getting tested for ADD, Anxiety, and Depression, this topic is very important to me. And you would think that with South Korea having the SECOND HIGHEST SUICIDE RATE IN THE WORLD that they would be more open to people with mental disabilities. It really makes me feel very bad for all of the people in SK that are dealing with things such as Depression, OCD, Autism, and ADD and they're not really able to get help. I don't even want to think about idols who already have enough stress in their lives. Take Joonie from MBLAQ. He has Bipolar disorder. And all of the people in SM who are in the MILK club, a support group for people with depression. G-Dragon, Daesung, and Taeyang all suffered from depression at some point in their idol career, and Daesung even developed severe social anxiety to the point to where he couldn't look ANYONE in the eye during Big Bang's La La La days. And as everyone knows, he became severely depressed and even became suicidal when he was dealing with that car accident back in 2011. But I can see that steps are being taken to help these people. Not big steps and not a lot of steps, but steps regardless. Like I said before about SM, they don't really seem to have a problem with the MILK club, and I haven't seen members like Onew, Yoona, Taeyeon, and Leetuk looked down upon for being in the MILK club. I know G-Dragon and possibly Taeyang received counseling (I presume from a psychologist) for their depression. YG Papa even sent G-Dragon on a vacation so that G-Dragon could have a break. Changmin received actual therapy because of severe anxiety brought by saesangs. Poor baby even broke down as he was surrounded by them as they kept hounding and harassing him. He talked about it on some show and I didn't see anyone giving him BS for talking about it. While these changes are the best I've seen, I'm not naïve enough to think that the mental health stigma in SK is completely solved. I and everyone else that knows about and is interested in the Korean culture knows that SK has a LONG way to go when it comes to this subject.
In regards to this video, I've just came back from my first visit to South Korea and I was alarmed to find out the people who stutter/stammer are seen as stupid and seem to be placed in the lowest classes during school.
hey i was wondering of the foreigners in korea, what type of races do u guys see the most (ahh no offense) white, black, hispanic?
It's hard enough dealing with the major stigma schizophrenia gets here in the states, I dread to think of how things would be if I lived somewhere like Korea…eek!
lots of koreans have bipolar and depression.
chosun ilbo stated that 14%of koreans(1000 responses) said they have taken drugs or at least seen a shrink.
but still koreans think anyone who has depression is mad. -
The high school that I teach in has a counsellor who does an awesome job. There's also a unit for students with special needs. It could definitely be better, but I'm really pleased to see how my school cares for those students. I know it's not the case all the time, but I don't want people to think that nothing exists in schools for those kids who need special help.
Why are Koreans so obsessed with getting the latest thing? I read that they all seem to have neophilia. Why? Plus, I agree with Martina with the whole counselling thing, I have counselling recently and it really helped me get through my difficulties. :D I feel bad for the Korean teenagers who have to suffer it all alone, which, in my opinion, is the worst thing anyone could try and do. :(
How does the whole mental health screening go in regards to foreigners getting jobs? Was this something you guys had to deal with yourselves? I've considered attempting to enter music journalism or perhaps even the industry at some point in Korea, and am wondering if I would be faced with this? If so I'm a little screwed to say the least, as my rap sheet of mental health issues is longer than santas xmas list….
honestly im an asian girl i grew up around the asian culture but these are the shit that i hate about my life. when im going through time like these i have no in my family to talk to know one in my family notice anything about it. i have turn to many thing that i try to hide from i self harm im suicidal im depress anorexic and im insurecure about myself. i think the asian culture should not try to raise their kids on the idea of perfection. martina i notice that you mention every once in a while that youre a metal head or something like that and then now you mention that you went through depression before i guess if i put the pieces together you find music as your escape.
You talked about tattoos in Korea before, but I was wondering about piercings. What kind of ear and body piercings are socially acceptable in Korea?
This topic is very close to my heart, and I greatly appreciate you guys addressing it. My heart goes out to all the students unable to or discouraged from seeking help for their mental health.
In the latest upload of Discussing Interesting Contemporary Korean Slang: Ep 03, Miss Leigh and Miss Soo Zee had brought up "manscaping" the personal grooming of men in North America but not Korea. The way Miss Soo Zee reacted was amusing but surprised me. Obviously South Korean men don't do it, even though "South Korean men spent $495.5 million on skincare last year" according to global market research firm Euromonitor International. So why don't men groom "down there"? What about the women? Is keeping the area "down there" trimmed a practice? What about waxing or for that matter the Brazilian? Is it just taboo?
The lack of guidance counselors is due to homeroom teachers acting as ones. Homeroom teachers in Korea take responsibilities of each student in her/his classroom and guide them through their school life.
I know mental health is sort of taboo in SK, but what about reproductive health? I am a high school teacher in the US right now and am really considering moving to SK for a year with my boyfriend… will I be able to get birth control pills easily or should I plan on packing some with me?
How are single parents and their children treated in South Korea? Is there a stigma to be from a one-parent household?
Hi Simon and Martina… I was wondering if you guys could tell me or make a video about what the Korean dress code is… Because in your U-Kiss interview Martina stated that her tank top was inappropriate for Korea… but in Korean Dramas, and some of your other videos there are girls walking around in booty shorts… Thanks!
In the Netherlands it's even like this that when you need more help then others you can go to special schools with small classes of 15 children and less so that they could give you more attention. Also with school based on religion and a lot of other stuff and I find it a really good thing that those that need a little bid of extra help get help. Even the dumpest children learn to do things on there own and might are even able to be a part of society like all the other people.
And you even can study and ask for the extra help from different people. Just last week I had something called introduction week. This is a week where they show students how to be comfortable with where you are and show you around the school and city. I had a lot's of fun and noticed also a lot of foreign students at this introduction week and where actually surprised to see so many foreigners. There where also lot's of asians whom need to pay a lot in order to study here and that is pretty admirable.
there's an awesome counseling place in Gongdeok staffed with ceritifed American and Canadian professional and experienced counselors that do family, individual and professional counseling. They helped me so much I cannot say. AHS – Adaptable Human Solutions. They are priced on a case by case basis but typical of top quality professional mental healthcare services in the US or UK – about 200,000won per hour. But they are worth every penny (won). They also provide services in Korean for Korean speakers, but they are all native or fluent in English. I can also say the mental health ward staff at Seoul Paik Inje Hospital are extremely kind. They mostly deal with anorexia patients, and people over 50 with the onset of dementia. But they have a variety of therapies and are very progressive in trying different things. Their director is a bit of an a*hole if you ask me, more into his tv appearances, but the young resident doctors and the technical staff are incredibly progressive, open-minded and caring.
It makes me sad to hear that. Avoidance, and ignorance of a problem doesn't make it go away.Perhaps with more information being put out there about mental health issues there will be changes in S.Korea. Recently they put out a drama called Good Doctor that is about an Autistic man who utilizes his special talents to become a well acknowledged pediatrician. Who knows what will be different in 1-5 years time hopefully.
Lol ….when I took civics and careers in high school, they told us if anyone ever asked for a photo with your resumé to run, not because of racism or being judged on your appearance, but that it was probably some thing shady!!
what are the ways of citizenship in S.Korea?How much money does it need?can some one become citizen just with university degree or something other than marriage with Koreans? -
A couple comments as someone living in Korea "with a close friend" who is maintaining the treatment of her mental illness:
1.She asked a couple pharmacies if they carried her meds (she thought it would be faster than seeing a doctor and asking them) and they didnt carry any of them. She has to get her meds shipped from Canada in 3 month batches (custom regs). It gets super expensive to have them shipped priority so they dont get lost in the mail.
2. She had to 'fib' on her health forms to get a teaching position because the question about mental illness and whether she had ever had a problem with it cost her 3 teaching positions. Seriously: She was offered THREE jobs that were retracted when they saw her health form that was clear except for that.
3. A great measure for which people are discriminated against – what do teenagers call each other as (semi) insults: 'crazy'. Its something i hear from my middle school kids all the time when they speak with me in English. These are kids that don't know that word to sometimes be used as a synonym for 'wacky' or 'strange' but rather only 'someone with a mental illness'. -
I think from my and my friends' experience, things are getting a bit better in the teaching world here. All of my teachers are aware of students with problems beyond simple classroom dislike. However, there are no behavior plans, or seperate classes or any kind of help for the teachers, and one student freaking out and beating the crap out of their neighbor student or throwing heavy objects across the room at people can really put a strain on your ability to teach a class :/
I hope more attention to mental illnesses, disorders, etc, will be implemented in SK and other countries. I watched the Japanese drama and movie "One Litre of Tears" when I was younger which really opened my eyes to these problems. Peeps should watch it if you haven't!!
Except, while I also love that drama, 'One Litre of Tears' is a physical illness, not a mental one. It affects the physical areas of her brain, not the psychological. But you're right that it was awful that she had to deal with the attitudes about her disability. :(
I'm always surprised to hear the counseling services aren't embraced as widely as they are in North America. I live in Kentucky, a state that's known for not being super modern in it's education systems, but throughout my entire school life I've always had super easy access to counselors. In high school each grade had it's own counselor and if there was a tragedy at the school, like the death of a student, a licensed psychologist was brought in for a few weeks to just be there if anyone needed someone to talk to. Even in the case of special education there were several special education teachers and classrooms and students could volunteer to help out in the special ed rooms as well.
In college there is even more support. There is an entire building dedicated to being a "safe zone" for talking things out. If you go there you can talk to other students or psychologists and it can be alone or in groups. They have all sorts of campaigns where they put fliers all over campus and hand out pamphlets to let people know where they can go if they need help. There are always speakers being brought in to talk about different struggles with mental illnesses and traumatic situations and encourage people to talk things out with someone.
I'm a new teacher here in Korea and I have come in contact with a few students with ADHD and autism (i've been teaching for two weeks). I'm not a licensed teacher back in the US, but I do have a counseling background which is why it was easy for me to identify their behavioral problems. I mentioned it to the head instructor (not director) and she was like, "ahh. yeah. .yeah. I can see that." So I think maybe they are starting to KNOW about it, but they still don't really… do any thing about it. :
in korea mental illness is considered a shame. If any of your family members have any kind of illness its a shame to the entire family so a lot of people will keep it on the down low.
I heard that there are special schools( im not sure tho ) but as i mentioned mental illness is a shame so if you mentioned my kid goes to and you name the school. People would probably recognize quickly that is a special school and will soon look down onto that kid and parents. So I think the main reason why these kids are still in these regular schools is because of that reason. In regular school they can just be labeled as the troublesome kid rather than the disability kid if they go to the special school.I remember seeing a video on how korean parents who have just given birth to babies with disabilities or babies likely to get disabilities getting dropped at a home of a pastor. There were so many babies being dropped in front of his home that he made a box where parents could drop the babies in.
That last paragraph you wrote breaks my heart.

Makes about 5 cups
active time
30 minutes
total time
60 minutes, plus at least 4 hours chiling time
The only difficult thing about this scrumptious ice cream is planning ahead to allow for plenty of chilling time (at least 4 hours). Your efforts will be rewarded, though, with incredibly smooth and creamy ice cream jazzed up with apples and gingersnap cookies.
Apple Notes: Here's the perfect recipe for using Fuji or Gala apples. They have just the right flavor and tenderness and are easy to find.
Equipment: 3- to 4-quart saucepan; 8- to 10-inch skillet; ice cream maker
- 1 cup (237 ml) 2% or whole milk
- 2 cups (474 ml) light cream
- Yolks of 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (205 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium tender-sweet apples (about 12 ounces total), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 25 gingersnap cookies, roughly crushed, with some cookie dust and some larger pieces
1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk and cream to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, in a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or using a hand-held mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add 1/2 cup of the hot cream-milk mixture into the egg mixture. This will slowly bring up the temperature of the eggs so they won't curdle when you mix them with the rest of the hot cream.
2. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the cream-milk mixture and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 175°F on an instant-read thermometer (this is the point at which it will thicken noticeably), about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the salt and vanilla extract, and pour through a strainer into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the apples: In a skillet, stir the apples with 3 tablespoons water and the cinnamon over medium heat. Cook until the apples are tender and translucent, and the water has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a fork to mash the apples to the consistency of chunky applesauce. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, until you're ready to freeze the ice cream.
4. Once chilled, your ice cream base should register between 35°F and 40°F on an instant-read thermometer. If it doesn't, you can set the bowl over some ice and stir to quickly cool it. Stir the apples and gingersnaps into the ice cream base. Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker, leaving an inch at the top to allow for expansion, and prepare according to the manufacturer's instructions. Eat immediately or pour into an airtight plastic container and freeze for up to 1 week.

Plums Make You Prettier
Steph&Adam/CC by 2.0 |
Our parents always told us that fruits and veggies would make us healthy, but they never said that they could make us cuter! Researchers are saying that eating more fruits and vegetables will improve your appearance in just two months. A study conducted at St. Andrews and Bristol universities in the U.K. found that people who had a golden skin tone were considered more attractive by their peers. They attribute the coloring to carotenoids, which are found in numerous fruits and vegetables, including plums and carrots. I wonder if this means that the produce section will soon become the new singles scene …

Don't go overboard with the carrots, however… a healthy glow and those natural vitamins should certainly help foster healthy skin and hair and enhance physical well-being and mood. BUT you can have too much of a good thing, too much water, for example, can devastate the natural balance and proper functions of the body. Dana Plato, a young actress in the 1980s, provides an example of carrot overdose. Too much carotenoids can cause not a golden glow, but a sickly orange pall to the complexion. By all means, eat a healthy diet, especially full of vegetables and fruits… but don't go overboard hoping to get prettier. Balance matters.
Hmm… I eat a diet with all four food groups, and I look younger than my vegetarian comrades. Seems the balanced diet is best.

Does your bathroom feel tired or outdated? While the average bathroom remodel starts at $20,000, you do not need to break the bank to bring style and functionality to your space. Small details, like ruffled shower curtains to vintage-inspired bath accents, can transform your space into a casual, relaxing shabby chic bathroom retreat. Add a fresh paint job and new towels, and you've got a brand-new master bath.
These five decorating tips will teach you how to create an effortless, shabby-chic bathroom in your own home – in just one weekend.
#1: Set the scene with ruffled shower curtains.
Ruffled shower curtains make a major statement in bathrooms – they're the "bedding" of the bathroom. To achieve your classic shabby chic look, layer varying shades of white. For example, pair an off-white lace ruffled shower curtain with white towels. Constructed from semi-sheer voile, the Gypsy Ruffled Shower Curtain is extra deep and pre-sheered for fullness, for layers of soft, shabby chic lace. With a pair of fresh white towels, the ruffled shower curtain is perfect for your master bath retreat.
#2: Add vintage-inspired pieces.
Shabby chic style is soft, romantic mix of vintage fixtures and eclectic pieces. A curved mirror, crystal sconces or vintage-inspired drawer pulls are small touches that don't cost a lot but add up to beautiful space. Layering shades of white makes for one light and lovely space!
#3: Dress up the walls.
Painting your bathroom walls is one of the least expensive ways to achieve the shabby chic look. Opt for soft neutrals, such as light sandy tans, pale spun yellows or barely-there pinks. When selecting paint, be sure to choose a satin or semi-gloss finish. Since humidity levels are always rising and falling, satin or semi-gloss paints, along with a latex-based primer, won't peel or chip away.
#4: Bring on the blooms.
A handful of roses, peonies or other blooming flowers add romance and warmth to your shabby chic bathroom. Choose blush tones, such as as soft pinks or peaches, that will compliment a white-on-white color scheme. Use a vintage-inspired mason jar to hold the blooms.
#5: Splurge on a special extra.
From heated towel warmers to ambient mood lighting (achieved with a simple dimmer switch), invest in a special extra to complete you bathroom transformation. At the end of a long day, you deserve a quiet and calm personal oasis – and a few luxurious bathroom touches can make a big difference!

I am having 20 people for a dinner party. Does anyone have any unique ideas for this couples party? We also exchange gifts and I read the Right Left Story one year. |
Follow-Up Postings:

One thing I'm doing at my Xmas Morning Breakfast party is-every guest will be asked to share their 'most remembered Christmas, as a child'. If you are looking for a little game to 'spice up the night'? It's called "She's My Gal" You get as many couples as will participate. Then you have all the men leave the room-where they are asked to put on blindfolds. Meanwhile the 'gals' all take off their shoes & stand on a dining room chair (all placed closely, in a row). Someone guides the men back into the room-and they have to get down on their knees in front of the chairs. They have to guess which is their gal..by only touching them up to their KNEES! When they're positive they have found their gal..they are guided to behind her chair & wait until all the others are done. They all remove their blindfolds at the same time. This is so cute-especially if you have a tape recorder going-their comments are hysterical! It's ok if more than 1 guy picks the same woman. Good for some laughs! |
We celebrated Thanksgiving with 26 family members - about 12 of us played Cranium and had tremendous fun. I'm not big on a lot of the board games, but this game had it all - it was a hoot.....It is a game for teams of people. |

JACKSON, Wyo. — Atop a high ridge in the Teton Wilderness a bevy of smokejumpers is laboring to replace a wall of the Huckleberry Fire Lookout.
The two-story wooden tower is more than three-quarters of a century old, and in places is starting to rot and deteriorate. But for the past three years, Bridger-Teton National Forest archaeologists have coordinated an effort to stabilize the building, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
"We have no intention of putting it back in its original state," Bridger-Teton archaeologist Jamie Schoen said from the lookout. "We're trying to extend the life of the structure for another 40 or 50 years."
The National Smokejumpers Association supplied volunteer laborers for five days last week. It's a 6-mile-long, steep climb to the site, and most of the smokejumpers were nearly as old as the lookout itself.
Don Whyde, the group's squad leader, explained the allure of the labor.
"It's the excitement," Whyde said. "And the challenge of really good people working hard together.
"Plus they like the work," he said. "They get a chance to use old skills."
The beginnings of the Huckleberry Fire Lookout will make history buffs grin.
Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938, the lookout was retired by the time it was 20 years old. Although fire spotters last manned the tower in 1957, it has plenty of visitors even today.
"It has become a very popular hiking destination," Schoen said. "I understand it's almost a rite of passage for people who work at Flagg Ranch or Signal Mountain. What are we doing this weekend? Let's go to Huckleberry."
The tower was placed where it is — on top of 7,200-foot Huckle-
berry Mountain — for very good reasons.
Views stretch south over the entire Teton Range and much of Jackson Hole. To the north, rolling forest can be seen all the way to Heart and Yellowstone lakes. The Absarokas set the skyline to the east.
The scene at Huckleberry Lookout last week in many ways was anachronistic. Because it's in a federally designated wilderness, no power tools were involved. Instead, the smokejumpers employed hand tools such as drawknives and other 19th-century-looking utensils.
The task on July 23 was replacing lower sections of the 15-foot-wide building's west wall. It was painstaking to pull out the heavy, 74-year-old logs, Schoen said.
"One of them was a real booger to pull out," Schoen said. "This took us almost a whole day — to figure out how to pull it out, to notch it, get everything fit and get it set."
In place of the rotted logs, the crew was working to install new logs that were felled nearby, and then notched, worked and stored. They were cut from standing dead timber a couple hundred yards away that was killed in the 1988 fires, Schoen said.
"We use local ingredients," Bill Hesketh said.
Hesketh hailed from Atlanta. John Sisco travelled to the Teton Wilderness from Olympia, Wash. Others made the trek from Casper and Big Piney.
There had been two failed attempts at nestling a new log into the lookout by midafternoon.
"Christ, the log's coming down again?" one smokejumper joked.
"You got one more chance to get it right, Jack," he said.
On the third attempt at trying to level the log, it settled in flush.

text: Archbishop of Tuam, born Tubbernavine, Ireland, 1791; died Tuam, Ireland, 1881. He studied at Maynooth where he later taught theology, was named coadjutor Bishop of Killala, 1825, and was transferred to Tuam, 1834. His life is the history of the struggles of the Irish Catholics in the 19th century. He labored and wrote incessantly to secure Catholic Emancipation, legislative independence, justice for tenants and the poor, and vigorously assailed the proselytizers and the anti-Catholic anti-national system of public education. He preached regularly to his flock in Irish. At the Vatican Council he held the definition of papal infallibility to be inopportune. Among his writings are a treatise on the evidences of Catholicity and translations in Irish of Moore's "Melodies," and part of the Bible and the Iliad.New Catholic Dictionary

Wim Wenders seems to have enjoyed his time experimenting with 3D last year in his dance documentary Pina, as the legendary director has announced his next project, a narrative film also in the format. THR lets us know the first casting for the film titled Everything Will Be Fine, along with a few plot details.
With her next directing effort, Take This Waltz with Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen, set to hit theaters this summer, Sarah Polley will be stepping back in front of the camera for this film described to be a family drama. Bjørn Olaf Johannessen wrote the screenplay that follows a "German magician who disappears in the wilds of rural Norway."
Although I love Wenders' work dearly, I seemed to be the vast minority on Pina, as I didn't think the director used this new technology in any sort of startling new way, as one expects from such a great filmmaker. I'm much more interested in seeing him take on a narrative film and Polley is a fine actress to help him do so. Hopefully we'll get more details on this one soon.
Wenders hopes to complete Everything Will Be Fine by the end of this year.
Are you excited Wenders is working in 3D again?

Following yesterday's "high risk" tornado outbreak, which caused (as of publication) around 50 reports of tornadoes, plus hundreds more wind and hail reports, the system responsible is trucking east through parts of the Midwest, as well as the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Several tornado watches are already up. A high risk from the Storm Prediction Center is about a 1-3 times per year occurrence, so to get back-to-back days of such is quite unusual. This is the second time we've seen that in 2011, the first during the super outbreak in April.
Given the multiple tornado tragedies this season, in some ways it may seem the central U.S. dodged a bullet yesterday, as even with multiple large and violent tornadoes, the human impact was lesser than recent. Despite any good news on that level, at least 13 people died, and damaging storms impacted major urban areas like Oklahoma City and Dallas.
Keep reading for more on yesterday's tornado outbreak in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, plus today's storm outlook.
Activity fired up quickly yesterday afternoon (see a satellite loop from initiation to sunset) as a storm system moved out of the Rockies and into the Great Plains. By mid-to-late afternoon, several large supercells producing tornadoes were ongoing in parts of Kansas and west of Oklahoma City. Fortunately for the highly-populated areas, this time the worst of the storms largely missed.
However, there were harrowing times Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Arkansas. Even the Storm Prediction Center itself in Norman, OK was briefly evacuated as storms approached the region, as were other NOAA offices centered in the area. Large, often rain wrapped, tornadoes on the ground mercifully lifted or weakened on approach. And as the evening progressed, the severe weather zipped down the cold front/dry line into north Texas, where numerous tornado warnings were issued in the Dallas metro area. Large hail, to the size of softballs, was also reported in Texas.
Even battered Joplin found itself under the gun again as first a line of severe storms passed through, then tornado warnings were issued to the north and south of the area impacted this weekend. Thankfully, no additional major damage was reported there, but it was undoubtedly not what local residents needed at this time.
Today, the focus shifts east, with a high risk area centered on where Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas come together. The tornado threat is again very significant, if perhaps a touch lower stats wise (30% within 25 miles of a point v. 45% within the same) than yesterday. On the flip side of any slightly positive news compared to yesterday's potential, this area has more population concentration, and lower visibility (to know something is coming) overall. Plus, tornadoes don't necessarily care about probabilities.
With a continued volatile setup, fueled by high heat and humidity colliding with an intense storm system and strong jet stream overhead, we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that any "luck" from yesterday carries over to today.

Periodically, I find it interesting to see what's new over at TED Talks. While not every video they have really floats my boat, there is generally a wealth of inspiration and interesting stories shared there. We've shared a number of these inspiring talks in the past – some relate specifically to teaching, others cover more general life lessons or inspiration. So it is finally May, and even the coldest of climates are emerging out of winter into spring by now, we're sharing a few more great videos to put some spring in your step. Check them out and enjoy!
When game designer Jane McGonigal found herself bedridden and suicidal following a severe concussion, she had a fascinating idea for how to get better. She dove into the scientific research and created the healing game, SuperBetter. In this moving talk, McGonigal explains how a game can boost resilience — and promises to add 7.5 minutes to your life.
At her first museum job, art historian Sarah Lewis noticed something important about an artist she was studying: Not every artwork was a total masterpiece. She asks us to consider the role of the almost-failure, the near win, in our own lives. In our pursuit of success and mastery, is it actually our near wins that push us forward?
What do rap shows, barbershop banter and Sunday services have in common?

Pakistani educator Ziauddin Yousafzai reminds the world of a simple truth that many don't want to hear: Women and men deserve equal opportunities for education, autonomy, an independent identity. He tells stories from his own life and the life of his daughter, Malala, who was shot by the Taliban in 2012 simply for daring to go to school. "Why is my daughter so strong?" Yousafzai asks. "Because I didn't clip her wings."

Bishop Eddie Long's New Birth Christian Academy has shut down indefinitely after 18 years due to financial difficulties.
"It is a very sad occasion, as the NBCA board has made the tough decision to temporarily close the school," school officials informed parents in letter dated Dec. 22.
"Funding estimates fell far short of the school's needs," they explained. The private school had 221 students from grades K through 12.
"The DeKalb County School System will coordinate with any students looking to transition from private schools or other schools, as we would with any students transitioning with the start of the new semester," district spokesman Walter Woods told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. News of the school closing comes just after Long's wife filed for divorce. Last year, Long settled lawsuits with four young men who accused him of coercing them to have sex with the mega-church pastor.

Magellan For iPad Updated With MIDI Out, WIST, LFO Sync & More
Yonac's Magellan virtual synthesizer for iOS has been updated to include a host of additions and changes from the previous edition. Big changes include the ability to control other MIDI apps inside Magellan modules as well as WIST integration – which can toggle Magellan as the "slave", allowing it to direct separate sources and targets within the app. An auto BPM detection feature was added, and the "MIDI learn" function was re-worked to make more sense.
Small bugs were fixed to help streamline usability, such as the addition of a "save changes" button for quick saves – and an error with the metronome count-in feature was corrected.

My main issue is that the bruisers on the map make my life hell as an ADC for about 15-18 minutes, and then I only get to dish it back at them for the last 5-7 minutes.
I play Ashe as a support up until I have a PD + Vamp + LW or IE. That seems to help me.
Ezreal, Corki, Vayne and Jayce are probably the best ranged AD carries in Dominion at the moment. Some of those need more support than the others. Still, a skilled Vayne player can often do well in solo queue, even without much protection. That being said, having a Lulu/Janna support or something will help. Ranged AD carries definitely have a place in Dominion, but they often depend on a decent team composition to work well.
i do not feel ranged ad are the weakest archetype but Ap ranged carries. (which doesn't mean they are weak, just someone has to be the weakest) Vayne, Corki, Ezreal, Kayle and kog maw are all pretty good, Caitlyn and Graves are pretty decent. The major buff to ad carries if you ask me would be to remove revive (Except vayne and kog maw they like revive.) But overall other than revive metagame making them slightly weaker, I do not see a problem with ranged Ad. a) I see a ranged AD on every side everygame. (slightly less lately as teams are replacing their Ad ranged with Jayce, who does it all). In fact as ranged ad player i have the problem that I can't play them as much as i want because someone else always want to play one. b) In tournaments most teams have ranged ad in their comps, this is even more true in EU where they have ranged ad something like 100% of the time. c) If you check top players win ratios with ranged ad the are average (And broken with Ezreal) So where is the evidence that ranged ad need helps? The only Ranged AD that needs help imo is Tristana and maybe Miss fortune, but that is a specific champ problem. And there is a reason they stopped being picked in SR.
Morgana is the mayor example of someone that is way weaker in CS because she depends on ultimate, and burst damage. Anyone that depends on long cdr cooldown ultimate and burst damage, is in big troubles with no blue buff, no blue elixir and heavy revive environment. That's the situation of many AP carries (Morgana, Annie, Vladimir.) They are not that much worse than in Summoner rift, but it's the most noticeable. Anyway, which archetype is weaker I do not feel is an important point.
I disagree, I play sometimes morgana and i frequently 3/4 ultimate champions, the problme is that when your ultimate isn't up, you are pretty much worthless. Imagine at minute 11 when you win a fight with morgana only for them to revive with 400 extra hp and you are a sitting duck..you revive and still a sitting duck. Remove revive, give me a decent CD on morgana ultimate and she is a good pick.

Bring Back The Old Sigames Community

They have recently changed their theme from a easy too read, simple too use, but 100% usable. Too a ridiculously bright, hard too read, hard too use due too the fact that it's either always down, or you end up posting 3 or 4 duplicates because it crashes when you press submit post once.

It may be in use but doesn't stop it being obsolete. Fortunately most dists will flip the switch and use wayland over the next year or two. And not before time.
Virtually every *nix app runs over abstraction layers such as QT, GTK, Pango, Cairo etc. Assuming there are wayland backends for these layers then porting isn't as hard as you think. There may be vestigal bits of X to clean up and some edge cases that need more effort (screengrabbers, video players, browser plugins etc.) but porting the majority of apps will just port over. Aside from that, if you *did* have some ancient X app you could still fire up X over wayland just for that.
X will probably stick around as a core component for a few more years in most dists and then it'll be pushed off to the side as an optional package, available for those who want it but not installed otherwise because it won't be needed.
X11 is an arcane and largely obsolete framework. The fact it needs so many damned extensions to be any way functional is precisely the reason that developers are keen to get rid of it. It's not secure, it's filled with arcane and obsolete code and it's terribly inefficient both locally and remotely. Fortunately it'll be moved aside and replaced by wayland over the next few years.
Yeah, well, EB games should be sued, if they don't have that warning printed in every store in large print. As well as Amazon and thousands of others.
EB games don't trade in digital games. They trade in physical media. And unless there is a registration code in the box then it's implicitly transferable.
That is not true: you are NOT "buying a license to a game", you're buying the game.
Sorry it is true and wishful thinking doesn't change it. Virtually all commercial software is covered by a EULA - end user licence agreement. You are buying a licence to use the software under the terms described by the EULA. If you run afoul of the terms then your right to use the software may be void or other penalties may apply.
In this particular case I suspect UPlay, Origin, Steam are reasoning that the licence is non transferrable, and since it WAS transferred from one person to another it has become void. That sucks but it's well known that they do this and if you want to avoid it, don't buy licences off some reseller.
It just demonstrates the utterly obscene pricing models in these online stores. In the real world the MSRP / RRP is just a guideline - the store can sell a game for any margin they like and usually they reduce it below MSRP. In the online store, the price is always the MSRP. I occasionally read the (pathetic) excuse that it's the publishers who set the price and there is nothing the store can do about it. Wrong! Publishers should be required to sell their digital download licences at the same wholesale cost as the physical copy and then digital stores retail can compete on their margins.
Just recently Sony offered a 10% discount off of PSN by way of apology for being attacked on Christmas day. The irony is that even with 10% off the prices there were still more expensive than a physical copy with the cost of middleman and postage thrown in. It's not just them of course - XBL is the same. And Steam. And Origin. And UPlay. They only time these services offer value is for games so old that their retail sales have flatlined and where people might pay $10 for a game in digital form that they wouldn't even bother with in physical.
Personally I think they should let people use these keys but the keys should unlockversions of the game that are heavily localized, thus negating any "advantage" people think they got from buying them. e.g. I bet Far Cry 4 and AC 4 are a lot less fun if the audio, text and subtitles are hardcoded to Thai and multiplayer to Thai servers.
As it is, I wouldn't be surprised if the terms of service allow them to do precisely what they did but I think there are better ways to discourage code selling.
It's not like C/C++ is a perfect language - it's a horrible language in some ways but it's also very powerful and quite portable with discipline. It also has standards by which to measure implementations by and it has tended to keep compilers pretty close together aside from a few extensions.
And C++ adds it's own layer of fun. Templates are the work of the devil - get an arg wrong e.g. miss a const or a (de)reference, and the compiler might throw a wall consisting of hundreds of errors back at you. Not intuitive at all and certain not easy to step debug.
Doesn't mean the answer is Pascal but C/C++ was never designed for readability and any that exists is by the grace of the person who wrote the code rather than inherent to the language. Other languages do try a lot harder to enforce readability in the file structure and in the code itself. Python would be most famous for it but even enforcing filename = classname, path = namespace as seen in Java / C# gives more structure than you get in C.
There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about. -- John von Neumann
