31 Years In The LifeAs of today (January 8th, 2012) I have made it one year into my "Dirty Thirties" I'm not a young person anymore. Youthful? Perhaps. Immature? Definitely!! Changes? CONSTANTLY. Lots has happened in my 31 years in existence. In thinking back from where I started, it's hard to believe that everything has taken so long to happen. Yet it's happened all too so fast as well.31 Years In The Life in Personal More Like This
I've learned from my mom and dad how to function on the most basic level, and how to deal with the most horrid of situations. Seen myself aspire to BE my brother, and am now witnessing him doing the same back to me now. I've made the most beautiful of friendships, and the bitterest of enemies. I believe I needed both. I've witnessed the entire lifespan my of my inspirational neighbor from his arrival home after his birth, to his final moments on the day of his murder. I've seen my closest life-long friend become a total stranger to me. Memories of an amazing former friendship is all
I LUVZ YOU...HelloOOOOOoooo! :icondisgustedfaceplz: I'm FINALLY nearly healed to 100% capacity! So before I do a new interview I wanted to take a moment to say that "I LUVZ you all" for your support, kindness, and online friendship I've seen stuff here that just stuns me to every degree possible. Sure I've had my bad experiences and actually just went through some bad shit, not only health-wise, but here on Deviantart as well. Some groups are fuckin INCREDIBLE with help/support/and even friendship sometimes. But others just seem to have ridiculous & unnecessary, SELF-PROCLAIMED "high-standars." And what for? :iconsnooty-plz:I LUVZ YOU... in Personal More Like This

A long time I did not write here (again), but you know, suffers from lack of time to me (and I really regret about it).

And it isn't just the empty words, but really they start, that I have first lectures!
At the university I spend a few hours because I have to be at 11.30 in the dean's office to pick up the index and the card (if it can't pick up earlier> _> nooo, must be clearly designated date and time ... goszzz), and from 15.10 to 18.20 I two lectures: Introduction to Jurisprudence and History of Polish political system in a comparative.
It will be probably a hard day, but maybe I can make it last?
It will also be my first day where I go alone by car to university (so far I went with my dad).
On one hand, I can't wait, on the other hand terribly scared. I don't know what shall befall me there. I'm very afraid ...
I guess after reading this introduction you thought that I'm not happy that I'm going to the law. Error! I am very happy!

There seem to be quite a lot of discrepancies in determining the actual date of National Pancake Day.

For Christians observing Lenten rituals, "Shrove Tuesday" (on February 17 this year) is "Pancake Day," the day you gorge on before beginning your fast.

When a subject poses to have his or her photograph taken, the subject tries to project a message about himself or
herself by how he or she "poses", by the attitude of his or her body language or facial expression.
If the subject is posed by the photographer, the body pulled and prodded into the desired angles,
the facial expression "directed", it is the photographer who is intending to communicate a message.
In either case, posing or posed, there is undeniably something "false" in the representation.

For many of us, the first "art gallery" to command our attention (and constant, even daily, monitoring) in our

advertisements were like little frames that rarely contained less than pure magic for young imaginations.
The Film Poster has existed since the earliest days of silent movies and the pulse-elevating excitement of the
first sight of an upcoming adventure, action, or sweeping love story that we might have only "heard good things about"
still packs a psychic punch throughout movie lovers today.

As we traverse the final phases of maximum raw information accumulation, potentially equipping us for jacking in to the promise of the Singularity, the contents of many lifetimes' worth of knowledge, art, education, and history are now at our fingertips. More and more Universities, libraries and arts institutions have swung open their digital doors and granted access to their lectures, courses and curricula free of charge to anyone in the world with a connection to the web. Access to education is fundamentally shifting our society towards an unmappable

Nuances of an Annual Ritual
Which brings us to each year's communal celebration of the passing of our lifetimes:
New Year's Eve
So what did you "actually get done" in the past year? How closer are you to a grand goal in life? An assessment is made and then the inevitable Step 2 of the yearly process is engaged, which is often a word for word repeat of last year's Step 2:
The New Year's Resolution
There seem to be two main strategies that emerge at this point of facing the New Year, a "brand new morning." The lone wolf quietly acknowledges goals not yet reached, and is even more secretive in the "new plan." "I'll show them," becomes the new privat

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.
A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story.
It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met

The Sinner's Revolution ~ IMPORTANTMy goodness. The last journal I wrote on here was so full of angst and just plain awfulness that even SB's worst angsty scenes look liked rainbows and unicorns frolicking through a candy valley. But that's beside the point and moving on to why I am posting this journal.The Sinner's Revolution ~ IMPORTANT in Personal More Like This
As you know SB has been successful (successful enough that somebody has found way to promote it at a con next year and I found a publisher to actually PRINT the books to sell at the con) with its pairings, characters, raw and emotional writing, and of course having a female lead like Juliana "Juli" Katherine Serenade. With its successful prequel, sequel, side stories, AU pairings stories, SB has become a flourishing series that mainly began as a vent art/writing project for a girl in high school who was filled with utter rage, resentment, and malice.
Now that I have grown as a writer and artist (and continue to grow mind you) the later books of SB has become less dark and more inspirational, I have decided

Life as you can tell has been extremely busy; with a job (its contract for hire but it looks like it'll be mine), social life, family duties, and now a new found religion that brings the holidays I have been lacking my internet life.
And yes I have found a new faith, I have converted to Judaism which I have dreamed of doing for many years. I'll be getting a Hebrew name (which will be my nana's and papa's Hebrew names) and even had an Ailyah yesterday so things have been quite busy.
I had the best summer of my life with new friends and my amazing :iconialsoforgot: along with his family and my own. I was barely on the computer or doing anything. As far as my job goes its contract for hire which means they pay me to work but they are trying me out to see if I fit with the job.

Juliana Katherine Serenade has been through so much heartache, misery, pain, torture, abuse, and of love, as I have. Juliana Serenade is ME, she's a part of me, and THAT'S why SB is so dear to me because in this series, there were people I was friends with who no longer want to be my friend, there was loves I wished had kept but couldn't, and so much more.

I had a "talk" with 16-Year-Old Juli in a dream and she literally slapped some fucking sense into me.
"We MAYBE damaged goods but don't let it define us for the rest of our lives, Juliana Elise. Sure we've fucked up with relationships and friendships but it's always worked out in the end. I will admit we've gone too fucking soft in our age to not punch or bitch slap when the person deserves it but we have gained control of how we react to shit like this which we didn't have back then.

Feature: Pancake DayTomorrow is Shrove TuesdayFeature: Pancake Day in Personal More Like This
Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, so its date changes on an annual basis.
In most traditions the day is known for the eating of pancakes before the start of Lent. Pancakes are eaten as they are made out of the main foods available, sugar, fat, flour and eggs, whose consumption was traditionally restricted during the ritual fasting associated with Lent.
Above info taken from Wiki, for the full article here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday
This time of year in England all the supermarkets have isles dedicated to making pancakes. Ready made pancakes, pancake mixes, lemons, sugar, raisins and syrup (the usual toppings that are used here) Personally I am not really much of a pancake fan but searching through these photos is starting to change my mind.

Anxiety and Panic AttacksI am not going to be very active over the next week. I am not up to baking, posting or talking at the moment. I have been suffering very badly from panic and anxiety attacks constantly for a week now. I have had very little sleep as every time I start to fall asleep I will suddenly wake up feeling like I need to gasp for breath fearing I will wake up unable to breath and having a panic attack, definitely one of the most scariest side effects of anxiety.Anxiety and Panic Attacks in Personal More Like This
I have tried many things to try and ease these constant feelings but nothing is working. I think I have gone though just about all the possible mental and physical symptoms of anxiety, stress and panic attacks you can get in the past week, sometimes all at once which just makes the whole thing a lot worse even though I know it is just anxiety as when I do get the brief break from it I have no symptoms at all but I can not help but think something is wrong despite the doctors saying they are not worrie
Once upon a time...Once upon a time, there was a sad lonely girl who wanted a pet cat. She pleaded with her mom; who originally agreed, but when the time came to go get one, the mother changed her mind. Over months friends offered her kittens that they were trying to give away, and even older cats, but the mother refused to change her mind, even when the girl begged to no avail. She went to the park, and a cat followed her home, but the girls mother chased it away, the strays wouldn't stay, and her mother wouldn't let her have the cat, even after being offered three more. Saddened, the girl accepted that she wouldn't get a cat. But one day, a knock came tapping on her window in the early morn light; "Come outside, I have something to show you," a gravelly voice called. The girl was annoyed; for it was early in the morning, but she obeyed, for she knew it was the voice of her father. She stole away downstairs and out the door, and saw her father holding a small, shivering creature. 'Twas a cat that he almOnce upon a time... in Personal More Like This

On the Road AgainHere I am in lovely Virginia; tomorrow I have a college interview. I'm a little nervous, but very excited. Coming to Virginia from Ohio was a wonderful drive; I really want to buy a mountain in West Virginia and live in a cabin. It is so unbelievably gorgeous. I'm kinda tired; and realized that I get to volunteer with children all next week; so this might be interesting...hopefully that will go well.On the Road Again in Personal More Like This
GenerationsDear Readers,Generations in Personal More Like This
For those in America mostly, (I say this because I lack the necessary knowledge to say this about other countries), why is our generation so irresponsible? We never seem to take the blame when it is rightfully ours, and we feel we are entitled to things. Since when did hard work as a value go out the window? I know many people still work hard, but just think of all the lazy people you know. They don't want to work, they don't want to learn, they don't want to do anything except watch TV and such. Why though?
Not too long ago it was common to see people playing outside, in the sunlight, you know, that yellowish-orange glow cast off by that big fire in the sky. When was the last time you went and did something outside besides maybe walking between nearby places? Oh, or when was the last time you went outside...in the dark, and stayed out there, with
Anime ConventionYesterday I went to my first Anime Convention (Ohyaocon 2013). It was awesome, I got to meet really cool people, see interesting cosplay, and I learned a lot in different panels. I even wore my yukata all day and no one found it odd. XD It was wonderful. I took some pictures with my sister's ipod (since I don't have a camera) so I'll see if it's possible for me to upload to DA for people to see.Anime Convention in Personal More Like This
Hey EveryoneSo I haven't really been updating about life for awhile, nor have I updated any stories, so here's what's been going on with me. I went onto Christmas break on the 21st, and family came home, which was awesome. But ever since I've gotten better from pneumonia I have been getting really tired really easily so I haven't been working on too many stories. We opened Christmas presents on Christmas Eve because my dad had to travel on Christmas day. I got some cool things, I got a stuffed talking Dalek, and some anime movies (Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke), and my sisters got me a surprise. They gave me my acceptance letter to the College of Wooster, all wrapped up with a bow and everything. Wooster is evening offering a scholarship that pays for a little over half-tuition. My sister got the same scholarship there, and it worked out to being a full ride after financial aid was factored in, which is really cool. Finally, Christmas Eve ended with me making plans to goHey Everyone in Personal More Like This
CampTomorrow, I leave for band camp. I don't know if I'll be able to get on at all in the week, except late Friday when I get back. After band camp, starting on Sunday, I'll have church camp for two weeks, and I won't have internet for even longer than that. If anyone needs anything from me during that time; commissions, advice, questions, requests, demands, ransom notes; whathaveyou, just note me. If anyone wants to commission me, or if anyone has requests currently, get them to me by Friday, and I'll work on them over church camp when I have free time (which is often since I don't really sleep).Camp in Personal More Like This
I will try to have the finish of "Finding Peace," and a few more chapters of "Sumire," done when I get back, but no promises.
Well, that's all. Thanks for reading; carry on.
ExcitedSo early this morning, my mother got a text from my brother. He and the rest of my family hasn't gotten along well in the past few years, but I have exciting news anyway. So he texted to tell us that he and his wife are going to have a baby! I'm so excited! I'm going to have a new niece or nephew! And my brother is now trying to mend the broken bridges in the family too, I think for the sake of the child; he told my parents that he hopes we'll visit before and when the baby is born. Actually everything today has been going very well; after learning that, I went to my college interview, which went very well in my opinion, I'll need to take the ACT again, but I think that if I get another two or three points I'll be good. My brother's work was also put on his college's homepage, pretty much advertising the art school; so that's very exciting well. Overall, it's been pretty awesome.Excited in Personal More Like This

I'm back from church camp, and I lied. I didn't follow up on any Finding Innocence, nor any Sumire, but I do have several poems to share and drawings (when my scanner works again...). I also have a short story to share. I'll try to work on more...eventually. I'm still open for commissions, but my priority for writings will be two entries to a contest I was invited to join. I'll put in a prose and poetry piece. If anyone wants info about that contest, just ask me. I'll scrounge the info given to me for you.
I also have a TON of pictures to add...if I feel like it. It's such a chore to me at the moment.
Also, I should be more available for awhile, but I'll have band practice sporadically, and school starts on the 21st...goodie goodie.
Ah well, I'm back, and ready for life again.

Back to OhioI've made it back to Ohio in one piece. It was a long trip back; we went to church before I even got home. But I'm back to my house, and trying to relax. It's been a very long two weeks; a lot of road trips, and now I get two weeks of break before I head into the Appalachian mountains for camp. Though, I only have one week before band camp. My break week will consist of volunteering at the local orphanage with the children. I have some poems to put up, eventually; but in other news; if someone wants to commission me; I could take on a bigger project while I'm at camps. I anyone is interested.

Would someone please explain to me just how anyone could imagine for even one second, that Mother Earth should be portrayed as a 16 year old virgin???
By the way? I do NOT need this explained to me. I know that everyone is entitled to their own image of Her. I get it. It just seems a bit of an oxymoron. I do NOT see how anyone can possibly call a Mother of any kind, a virgin.
The classic virgin birth not withstanding (please! I do not need to be lectured about that bit of fable either, thank you!), as She was not Earth's Mother, She was the Mum of a man.
Give the poor darling a break, kids! She has put up with a lot since man arrived. Give Her some dignity for pity's sake. Trust me, not every Mum wants to be 16 any more. That was a time of insecurity, pimples, body changes that

The fact that you call them "mistakes" proves that they are something which you feel are ugly and want to forget.
But the point is that they will forever be seen as "mistakes" unless you are able to make them into something good.
For example, it might have been a "mistake" that you became group leader of a bunch of incompetent people, but you can see this as both a learning experience and an opportunity to turn some of your members into less of a lazy bum. If you're majoring in business, you're going to have to get used to leading people, even when you don't get the most ideal group. But it is the leaders who are able to stay persistent and make their company into something who are ultimately recorded in history. Those who rest on their laurels or spend too much time fussing about die out rather quickly.

»Palm Tavern
The Palm Tavern is another nondescript bar in Milwaukee that merits mass attention. It has a large selection of beers (both imported and domestic) as well as a more than decent selection of some very good scotch, whiskey and bourbon. Try the Tyconnell Single Malt or the overwhelming peat flavored Laphroaig and you'll immediately waft over the Atlantic to Ireland and Scotland, respectively. If you do not know much about the spirit or beer they have to offer, the bartenders are extremely nice and helpful and they can teach you about the drinks without all the pretension or hype.
Milwaukee is known for its conglomerate domestic beer companies, most particularly Miller Brewing Company, however the small brewing tradition dies hard in this Midwestern metropolis. Burnhearts in the Bay View district of the city is one such place that reveres local suds. They have more than 25 domestic and imported brews on tap in addition to a better than average cocktail menu. The beers change constantly yet the cocktail list remains steadfast, try the 'Autumn in New York', it is made with a Pumpkin spirit and is a local favorite.
»The Down and Over Pub
Perched on a little hill, what was formerly the Bay View Brew Haus, is The Down and Over Pub. Its easy to miss this massive building as it looks like an old warehouse. Look out for the huge red sign with a black guitar and you will know you have reached the right place. The minimalist decor, high ceilings, wooden tables and stage gives this place a vintage charm. Run by the same team of Up And Under Pub, the bar has no dearth of entertainment. From pool tables, dartboards, to live gigs, karaoke, comedy nights, jam sessions and swing dance, there is always something or the other in this lively place. Some of their previous lists are Filtharmonic, The Vibrators and Doghouse Flowers.
»Club Garibaldi
Club Garibaldi, located in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, is one of the city's prime spots to catch music from local to international level. Past performers include Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Mark Olson (of the Jayhawks), The Meat Puppets and Megafaun. The club also features award winning pub food!
»Goodkind Bay View
Goodkind Bay View has gained critical acclaim as one of the top restaurants in the locality for its farm-to-table philosophy. It has partnered with local farms and artisans such as Compost Crusaders, Pinn Oak Farm, Hometown Sausage Kitchen, Ledgeview Gardens and Underground Meats to source fresh meat and produce. The seasonal ingredients are then used to create dishes with nostalgic American flavors. As the menu changes frequently no two visits here are the same. The dim and classy interiors are ideal for savoring dishes such as Duck Leg Confit with Smokey Spanish Rice and Spice Crusted Scallops with Toasted Cauliflower. The drinks like the Belgian Chimay Première Red and New Glarus Moon Man Pale Ale perfectly complement the food. The name Goodkind came from an old cannery that shut shop in 1940, symbolic of the American culinary tradition that this restaurant preserves.
»Sugar Maple
Sugar Maple is one of the few bars in Bay View that effortlessly blends together the comfort and charm of a neighborhood bar, and the lounge-like style. With an excellent beer selection including over 60 craft beers on tap, Sugar Maple is a relaxed and lively place, with just a hint of whimsy. The staff are friendly and well-informed about their beer, so don't hesitate to ask for suggestions. The ping pong table at the back is another popular attraction, and offers a fun way to make new friends or spend some quality time with old ones. Finding a seat can be a challenge on most days and especially if there is an event scheduled, so try to come in early if you have your heart set on sitting down.
»Koz's Mini Bowl
Milwaukee is a city filled with cool retro nightlife, from Tiki bars to polka halls, this bar with four mini bowling lanes only adds to the list. The interior of Koz's looks like it is part hunting club, part dive bar, in fact they have a massive lion's head along with its hide perched over a bar cabinet. Despite the kitschy and eclectic decorations, most people come here to bowl. In the back, guests can enjoy their PBR while they roll some mini balls down some tiny lanes and if the place is too crowded, the bar has a pool table and great drinks until the next round becomes available.
»Horny Goat Brew Pub
Milwaukee is known for its brewing heritage. So it is not surprising to find many brew pubs. Horny Goat Brew Pub is one among them. Opened in 2009, this acclaimed craft brewer overlooks the lovely Kinnickinnic River and features two bars, fire pits, four covered sand volleyball courts and happy hours. Its outdoor space is covered in a tent and touted to be the largest of its kind in town. Their outdoor bar is also used for various events.
»Bryant's Cocktail Lounge
Legend has it that Bryant Sharp, the owner of this beloved Milwaukee institution just stopped selling beer one day and started serving cocktails sometime in the 1930's. Since then, Milwaukee locals as well as tourists who serendipitously stumble in have always enjoyed a stiff Martini or Manhattan at this cool, dark bar. It is also alleged that old man Bryant created the famous drinks, "The Banshee" and the "Pink Squirrel" back in the 1950's. In addition to the lounge below, the upstairs Velvet Lounge is a great spot for groups or to throw events.
»Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall
Kochanski's Beer Hall has revived the long, lost polka pub tradition in the city with its comfy ambiance, Polish beer, and of course, the accordion. It is a little bit out of the way in the neighborhood of West Milwaukee, however the amount of Polish beer and open polka jam sessions throughout the week make the trip worth it. Check website for events and details.
Fluid, located in the neighborhood of Walker's Point, is one of the city's most popular gay bars. Serving up exotic cocktails and martinis (some with x-rated names), this is the best place to relax with friends or to make new ones. Check the website for special events.
»Steny's Tavern
Steny's Tavern and Grill is an extremely popular local spot that is known for its weekly specials. The kitchen serves all of the 'pubgrub' staples like pizza, burgers, and serendipitously offers the traditional Friday night fish fry. It's the perfect place to catch up with friends after work or to simply sit back and relax with a beer in hand. Check out Steny's website for a full calendar of events. There is always something exciting going on.

Hi, Rex.
I've added you as a watcher as you were the assignee of the original issue.
If you would like to work on this issue, please assign it to yourself.
Patch submitted. Did refactoring to rename all instances of folder's show_expanded to showexpanded. Also added upgrade code to rename database field and site config setting.
One concern that I am unsure of how to handle is what to do with backup files that have the old show_expanded value. Right now, I believe, the code will just use the site config setting, if it doesn't find the showexpanded value in the backup file.
Since the code with the old show_expanded value was in the ALPHA/BETA status, do we not need to worry about it?
Hi Rex, patch looks good. A few points.
- Just a note to integrators (if they were unaware like I was): I was going to ask why use the "set_config('show_expanded', null, 'folder');" rather than delete it from the table, but I see this function does that already if the value is null.
- When performing the rename of the field it is required to perform a check to ensure that the field exists before doing the rename. This is because upgrades can be performed multiple times (in this case I can't see that happening but it is for consistency). Imagine including an upgrade for 2.3 and 2.4, each commit would have a different version number in the if statement (eg. "if ($oldversion < #versionnumber)"), meaning if someone was to upgrade from 2.3, to 2.4 this step would be executed again.
- In regards to your question regarding backups that have the old value - I do not believe it is necessary to worry about this. Like you said, this was only introduced in the early stages of 2.5, before the official release. If they do happen to have a backup from the beta they wish to use (highly unlikely), it will still set the value to what is currently specified in the config. You could perform a check to see if $data->show_expanded existed, and if it did, then set showexpanded to this value. However, this is overkill and I feel completely unnecessary.
I made the change as requested by the peer review to check for the field first before renaming. But I should note that I was just using the code provided by the XMLDB editor. The XMLDB editor code generation for the field renaming should be modified to add in this check for future developers.
Hi Rex, thanks for pointing that out! I will create another issue for that.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Branch has been rebased with lastest master.
Thanks Rex, this has been integrated now.
Just noting I did make one additional commit.
I've renamed the field in the original upgrade statement. The reason being that this field was originally added in master and we're changing it only 1 month later, and still before the next release.
By renaming in the original upgrade block as well only developers who have upgraded Moodle in the past month will need to perform the field rename.
Not essential as the field would have been created and then renamed before being used however a nicety I think none the less.
Many thanks
Works as described. Passing.
I feel myself really alone tonight! So was time to push your fixes upstream!
"Lest we forget. We will remember them."
Thanks and ciao!
