To hell with efficiency — I work best in bursts
I'm only just now getting back into the groove on this blog. I've been neglectful over the last few weeks as summer's ended and things have ramped back up at my day job. That's not good, and it's probably cost me readers. Nobody likes an unreliable blogger.
But hear me out — I have an excuse. Of sorts.
The reason I haven't updated this blog is that I have been, since the beginning of the month, completely and totally overwhelmed by work. It's crashed over me like a tidal wave and knocked me off of my metaphorical surfboard and into an ocean of deadlines and high expectations.
I knew it was coming. I had all of August to prepare for this rush. But I didn't. Instead, I took some personal time. Had a nice vacation in the city. Went out for lunch a lot. Worked on the back porch in the sun. I knew the freight train was coming, but I took my time getting off the tracks.
But I've realized during the chaos of this week that I don't need to feel ashamed or wrong about the way I work. Some people do live in a world of precisely ordered schedules and timetables. They plan for blocks of work, making sure everything is in its place well ahead of deadlines. But I don't. I've tried, in the past, to operate like that, but inevitably, in the face of actually getting things done I neglect to make a schedule.
I don't live in a world of printed schedules, tacked up on the wall. Though the past couple of weeks have been absolutely crazy for me in terms of always being busy, I'm not feeling bad. In fact, it's the opposite — I'm feeling more determined and energized about everything. In the face of a looming deadline, I get lost in the rush of working: of facing challenges, of problem solving, and flying through the creative process. I love to work in bursts — to knock out eight or nine tasks in a morning, bouncing from program to program on my computer.
This is where I thrive.
I'm not disparaging or promoting any style of work. What I am saying, though, is that it doesn't really MATTER how anybody works provided the end result is delivered on time, and that the final product is good.
I think a big part of the generational shift these days is recognizing that the final product — the destination — is more important than the journey there. And that by simply accepting different working styles we can actually, as intergenerational workspaces, increase output. I know a lot of people would call the way I've worked "inefficient", but where are the drawbacks? I work best in bursts, and shouldn't any employer want their employee to be at their best?

In 1930 the State Bank of Shannon and the People's Bank merged into what became known as the First State Bank of Shannon. The Directors and Officers in 1930 were: D.S. Hoy, President; C.T. Wilhelms, Vice President; F.E. Woessner, Cashier; and W.H. Barron, E.C. Frank, J.H. Miles, R.A. Kersey, F.C. Nesemeier, A.S. Babb, Dr. H.H. Hoy, Frank Shauer, and Christian O. Wilhelms, Directors. Deposits of the combined banks were $539,400.
By 1934 the Board was reduced to five, caused nearly entirely by deaths during this four year period. The only director from the original organization was Christian O. Wilhelms, who served as Director for 31 years. C.T. Wilhelms was a continuous employee, with the exception of about two years; nine years with the People's Bank and twenty years with the First State Bank of Shannon.
F.E Woessner served continuously for a period of over 30 years, eleven years with the State Bank of Shannon and nineteen years with the First State Bank of Shannon.
1n 1958 the bank had grown to around $4,000,000 in deposits. The officers at this time were: C.T. Wilhelms, President, H.H. Hoy, Vice President; W.O. Wilhelms, Vice President; F.J. Ewing, Cashier; C.N. Weigle, Assistant Cashier and Omar C. Wilhelms, Assistant Cashier. Directors were F.J. Ewing, H.H. Hoy, C.T. Wilhelms, Omar C. Wilhelms and W.O. Wilhelms.
In 1984 a one bank Holding Company was formed and was called Shannon Bancorp, Inc.
First State Bank of Shannon moved into a new facility of 4800 sq. ft. on Jan 2, 1972, commonly known as 1 S. Linn St., Shannon, IL. The bank had total assets of $15,167,000. An additional 1800 sq. ft. was added in 1992, making total area of 6400 sq. ft..
In September 1993 First State Bank of Shannon-Polo opened the first branch facility in Polo, Illinois and changed the bank name to First State Bank Shannon-Polo. Perry W. Byers, Vice President was promoted to Vice President/Branch Manager of the new Polo facility.
First State Bank Shannon-Polo continued to grow by purchasing the deposits and facility of the Grand National Bank-Polo facility in January of 1999, bringing total assets to approximately $110 million.
The First State Bank Shannon-Polo Board of Directors increased to seven members with the addition to Robin R. Saar in 1998. Long time board member Homer Byers passed away in 2002 leaving the six remaining directors, Omar C. Wilhelms, Chairman; Delores Meiners, John A. Leemon, Lawrence E. Woessner, Robin Saar, and Kenneth Freeman.

When a studio does everything it can to get to the very root of a client's working philosophy, it often leads to the most interesting and effective identity design. This is definitely true of Toronto-based studio Blok Design's work for Dallas film production company Lucky 21. Created to mark the company's new venture – "taking on the highly competitive LA market" – the identity takes into account the brand's character, which the studio describes as "full of humour and fiercely passionate" to create a set of visuals that fall close to home.
Ryan Hopkinson's work is a mesmerising merge of science and technology with art. It therefore seems perfect that, as such a fantastically forward-thinking film-maker and photographer, he's chosen Björk's video for All is Full of Love directed by Chris Cunningham, as his favourite music video. We've written about Ryan quite a few times, and posted about his photography as well as his stunning film work, all of which uses special effects spectacularly and surprisingly. Here is the fascinating conceptual visual artist on what he likes best about the legendary video, which seems more 22nd Century than anything 20th Century:
It takes a special something to be able to photograph at gigs and festivals, you have to really not mind being covered in the bodily fluids of swerving waves of people, or potentially having your ankles and your camera shattered into a thousand pieces. Lord knows what things Greg Neate has seen in his last decade of photographing the much-loved and notoriously raucous ATP festival. His photos are often taken in prime crowd spots that even rubber-boned teenagers can't reach – so how does he do it? We asked him some questions about his memories of ATP and what he loves most about photographing crowds. You can also see Greg's photos on show at Neate at ATP at the ATP Terminal on Dray Walk until 13 July 2014.
How often is it that you come across a cartoonist who manages to combine space-age wicca, metal-head monsters and rainbow coloured dystopian cities, all on the same page? Dogboy, aka Philip Huntington, achieves this seemingly impossible feat in his kaleidoscopic illustrations, which he describes as working "towards the creation of an alternative reality."
If you happen to be in north-west Corsica come Saturday then you're in for a treat with the 12th annual Calvi On The Rocks music festival. My limited French and the beautifully baffling shortcomings of Google's translation tools ("DJs take you in hand, scholars selectors make you smarter tan") means I can't give you too much detailed information, but a glance down the line-up and the fact that the irrepressibly brilliant Leslie David has created these posters for the event should be enough to convince you that it's something worth knowing about. Leslie's big, bold colour daubs offset the retro black and white pictures of the town with typical skill and evoke the spirit and energy about to be unleashed on this pretty coastal idyll.
It's not often you get to hear the opinions of models. Unless you're the next big thing in the world of cat walking and clothes-horsing – a Moss, Campbell, Cole or Delevigne – nobody really wants to hear what you've got to say. Which seems unfair really, particularly given that they live more exciting lives than most. It's clearly something that bothered photographer Martin Zähringer too as he's set up a side-project that gives some of his favourite models a voice.
One look at Francesca's portfolio and we knew that this was a very, very exciting graduate. Channeling all the vibes of Rookie with the serene portraiture ability of Vermeer, Francesca's lucid, candid photography depicts youth, friendship and true love. With a BA in Photography from the London College of Communication and a few cross-continental adventures under her belt, Francesca's well on her way to becoming a much-loved photographer. We chatted to her about her time at University and her plans for the future.
It's a well known fact that no matter how impressive the debut of new trends on the catwalk are, the ones hanging around outside the auditorium are probably more exciting. Responsible in no small part for the creation of this theory is Tommy Ton. He started street style fashion blog Jak & Jil back in 2005 with zero formal photography training, and has since become the go-to man for all things street style, particularly when it comes to the fashion.
You're on the internet, so you probably like cats, right? Well, these woodblock prints by Tadashige Nishida capture all of those cat qualities that we love to love: his creepy but cute kittens are unafraid and alert, always listening and sensing, and very delicately, playfully poised. Tadashige renders the subtle lines of a cat's body against brilliantly bold backgrounds, and it is very difficult to work out just what it is that makes his prints so hypnotically intriguing. Doris Lessing, one of literature's best cat lovers, describes the curious creatures in the following way: "If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air." Tadashige captures these dexterous and whimsical cat attributes beautifully in his surprising, minimalist prints.
When Yoshinori Mizutani first moved to Tokyo and saw huge hordes of lime green parrots jetting through the city's sky, he says that he was scared and felt like he'd fallen into a scene from Hitchcock's The Birds. Getting over the initial shock, Yoshinori began to photograph the surreal spectacle, and he discovered that the birds were originally brought from the tropics to Japan as pets in the 1970s.
French illustrator Benjamin Courtault has been extremely busy since last we spoke, beavering away on a beautiful concertina book, La Descente. This lovely new piece of screen-printed magic reads like the opening of a Marquez novel, following the story of a technician working for the National Telecommunication Company who's forced to take a road trip through an extraordinary world to fix some ailing antennas. With each spread rendered in varying three-colour shades, Benjamin demonstrates not only his prowess as a storyteller but also as an exceptional printmaker. Shame they're all sold out!
Hi gang! If you're reading this you're probably not at Glastonbury, and neither are we so that makes us friends. We've spent our weekend listening to Eminem with the air conditioning on, which is kind of like our own mini festival – right? We often wonder what everyone else listens to at work, as we usually go for a heady mix of Simon and Garfunkel, Rihanna and that Bill Wyman song about him seducing a much younger woman. If you have any suggestions of what else we can listen to, or what you tend to listen to as you punch an Apple keyboard with the blunt ends of your fingertips for money, get in touch.
We are now just a few days away from unveiling our 2014 Graduates; 15 of the most exciting young talents leaving UK art schools this summer. For the first time ever this year we called on a panel of expert judges to help us select our final 15 and we'll be hearing from them over the course of the next few weeks.
Next up in our footie themed Nicer Tuesdays talks is graphic designer Rick Banks who talked us through his 2013 book Football Type. As a ten-year-old boy he was left in floods of tears when the Manchester United goalie top his mum bought him had the name Schmeichel in the wrong font; from here grew a lifelong obsession with football typography. He explained how it took two years to get the brands and clubs on board for the book and shared some interesting back stories; for example the Barcelona typeface is based on Gaudi's chimneys. His talk encapsulated the highs and lows of self-publishing from the militant attention-to-detail required to filling your flat with the packaged books ahead of sending them out.
The largely secular nature of the western world means it's rare to find yourself up close and personal with a religious procession. But in Sicily the Processione die Miteri di Trapani is an annual occurrence, and no more unusual then Notting Hill Carnival is to a Londoner. The procession takes place during Holy Week before Easter and details the stories of the Passion – traditionally acted out by members of local guilds – up until the resurrection.
The only thing cooler than a girl gang is a girl gang of six-year-olds who are insanely good at skateboarding. Meet Pink Helmet Posse, a group of three astonishingly talented and cute little girls who are best friends, and love to skate. The New York Times have commissioned this spectacular short film about this curious trio as part of their consistently brilliant Opinion Pages, inviting the viewer to check out something that's going to blow their minds and also make them think a little too.
How cool is this? London-based man-band Bombay Bicycle Club have made us an absolutely smashing mixtape to accompany your Friday and weekend. Jack Steadman, Jamie MacColl, Suren de Saram and Ed Nash collectively write and play songs that are at once heartbreaking and uplifting, a bit like Homeward Bound. Their mix, however, is a tropical cocktail of cross-continental tracks including bangers from Donnie and Joe Emerson (classic), Frank Zappa (wahoo!) and everyone's favourite old crooner, Charles Bradley. A big thanks to these busy boys for making our weekend substantially better.
We stumbled across these bright floral posters for YCN by Mexican illustrator Elena Boils this morning, a lovely find that has perfectly coincided with the new edition of a baby spider plant on our communal It's Nice That desk. Elena's lively, layered plant patterns look like something you might find on Frida Kahlo's dresses, and we love the angular, boxy backgrounds juxtaposed with her luscious, textured shrubbery. Now based in the UK, Elena is interested in "nature as well as surreal creations," an influence which is prevalent in her vibrant layering of two-dimensional shapes against three-dimensional spaces.
Hands up who's never seen graphic design in Hebrew before? Me! I am amazed at this collection of typographic posters created by third year students on the Visual Communication course at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel. Not just because it's all in Hebrew, which of course makes it look even cooler because I have no idea what it means, but just the diversity in the work that's been produced.
Hi podlings! You're in for a treat this week. Rob's away so Liv's in charge and she, Maisie and James are here to chew the fat on all today's cultural topics. There's a shitload going on in the world of art and design at the moment, and there's Glastonbury and the World Cup too, so it's best you keep up with the latest facts to impress your mates with. Up for it? We are, get stuck in using the SoundCloud embed below or subscribe via iTunes here.
The stooped, gangly characters in Barbara Dziadosz's illustrations look like they're on constant adventures in their bubblegum-pink world. Her energetic bunch are either deep sea diving, catching butterflies in nets, or peering speculatively through a magical telescope, always surrounded by the same blobby, stenciled flora. We love the scratchy lines and rough, overlapping components of the compositions, and Barbara's consistent pink and purple colour palette. The images are surreal and summery and joyous, with plenty of cacti terrariums containing lurking leopards and oversized cats being led by their owner through a polka-dot jungle. These bold and bright illustrations will have you itching to join in on the surreal, summery fun.
"How're things going this week?" You ask. Very well, thank you, especially since this week we've been sent yet another wonderful collection of Things. Included in the bundle is a plastic-bound zine dedicated to contemporary female artists and issues, ten bright and bold birthday prints, and a publication of photographs documenting the transformation process of the new Design Museum in Kensington. If that's not enough for you, we've also got some heartbreaking photographs, and an extremely wacky and surreal collection of illustrative stories. They say all good things must come to an end, but judging by all the great things that we keep receiving, it looks like we'll be writing this post for years to come.
Living as the fashion industry does a full hop skip and jump ahead of itself, the menswear Spring Summer 2015 shows are currently in full swing, and though we might not have the discerning eye of Vogue we thought we'd share our favourite collections from the London Collections: Men and the Paris and Milan shows with you. Behold then, giant wooden frames, autobiographical shirts, 1970s details, kimono necklines and men in skirts. Plenty of men in skirts. Feast your eyes.
I'm always up for a good story, so if a visual piece of work has some sort of narrative thread running through it my eyes instantly widen with intrigue and excitement. Take illustrator Davide Bonazzi's series Day Trippers, individually these images are done well but when seen together as a whole package, the beautifully observed moments between an elderly couple exploring a city together tells a much deeper story of love and companionship.
We don't know all that much about Martin Groch, save that he's a Slovakian graphic designer living in Prague and has a natural talent for combining type, image and abstract forms. His portfolio is vast, and showcases a whole heap of beautifully-crafted posters, exhibition identities and some slick experiments with deconstructed drawings. There's also a whole heap of vintage-looking cartoon characters thrown into some of his projects for good measure, adding a sense of youthful excitement to projects that could otherwise feel less than exciting. All in all an impressive portfolio of work. Now we're just going to have to find out a little more about this talented chap…
Five years ago Dave Tomkins uncovered a huge archive of photographs his Grandpa, Stephen Clarke had taken over the years. With his Grandpa unable to remember where he'd shot these images, Dave was determined to find out more and started reaching out to the big wide world to find out more about the places pictured and what they look like now.
Hey that girl's sticking her finger into an elf's butt! That can only mean this is the work of a genius. Sure enough, the drawing I'm referring to is by Frau Franz, the sweetheart of the modern-day comic book industry. Her being handy with a crayon is particularly useful to the rest of the world as it allows her to spill the contents of her brain out on to the paper so we can marvel at it. Cool little guy reclining on a lilo, someone fingering an elf's butt, a dog woofing at a rainbow cloud lurking in the gutter – where does all this gold come from? At the moment Frau's living in Berlin doing freelance illustration for cash, and is a living and breathing inspiration to those who have funny, silly and sometimes gross thoughts all over the world.
It's been almost three years since we last wrote about Uno Moralez, the only man whose work can genuinely shock me into open-mouthed awe. This shock is threefold: for starters I have no idea how he creates his beautiful bitmapped images, secondly his subject matter is so deliciously terrifying that I'm constantly torn between staring at it for hours and flinching to look away, and thirdly because I literally have no idea how he makes these images (I know, I said that twice)! As one of comics' most enigmatic characters, Uno doesn't update his site all that often, but when the new work comes it seems only appropriate to make a song and dance out of it. So dance with me!
There's only a couple of days let to catch this year's Royal College of Art graduation exhibitions Show RCA 2014 and having watched it unfold over the past few months we're thrilled that the final shows have been so brilliant. If you needed any more convincing that's it's worth heading to either the RCA's Kensington or Battersea campus (or both?!) over the weekend, then hopefully this film might sway you. With more than 570 students' work on show it's impossible to fully appreciate the sheer scale of the exhibitions without being there, but hopefully this gives you a taster of just how good it is.
To outsiders the art industry tends to come across as a fairly shielded place, where dealers and customers are shrouded in tales of mystery and all deals seem to go on behind closed doors. As Andy Freeberg argues in the statement to his project Art Fare however, this isn't really the case.
Sometimes it can be weird when you see people doing things differently, like watching your friend cut a sandwich into rectangles instead of triangles. But creatively speaking I feel it should always be embraced with open arms, which is why Verena Michelitsch's project Reflections created with Tobias van Schneider instantly intrigued me.
Ovid once wrote that "The gods favour the bold," and if it's true, then Anders Nilsen must be quite high in the gods' good books at the moment. Not only is his new comic an accordion-style that you can wrap around your desk about three times, but it also contains all kinds of insightful and humorous modern day parables about humans and their gods. The illustrations are simple but expressive: black silhouettes on sparse backgrounds that are alarmingly life-like but also enigmatic and mystical, like the shadowy puppets from Pluto's cave. Inside the book's folds, Anders imagines Poseidon in the 21st Century, in a world where Venus works in Hollywood and Eros runs a thing called "The Internet." Cupid's arrow has darted straight out of the spell-binding pages, and I think I'm in love with Anders' new work: all I can do now is just thank the gods that such an extraordinary comic has fallen into my hands.
Swiss Graphic designer Simone Koller is all about experimentation – with typography, layout and concepts – investing heavily in the visual language of each new project she takes on so that no two pieces ever feel similar. Her work encompasses branding and identities, artist books, theoretical publications, posters, packaging and zines, all with a focus on contemporary cultural discourse and sociological theory – plus the occasional poster for a show. But her radical approach to design ensures that even the most heavyweight of subjects feel visually engaging, urging you to pick them up and interact with their content. No small feat when one publication deals with how people move around public space.
At It's Nice That we spend more time on the internet than we do with our friends, lovers or parents combined. So it's only right that we start selecting the best fruit that the internet-tree has borne and handing it to you in manageable, well-written doses. At the moment the craze is music videos without the music, something that as yet is proving its staying power and is still hilarious.
There are some people in the world who just ooze coolness and FKA twigs is one of them, who knew Gloucstershire was able to produce such fine specimens of slick elegance?
Nomadic photographer Jessica Barthel has had a fairly illustrious career to date. Having studied Fine Art Photography at Parsons in New York she's floated between India, Berlin, Buenos Aires and LA shooting stories for the likes of Harpers Bazaar, Dazed and Confused and Glamour as well as producing heaps of personal work along the way. Not content with her photography degree, she also studied graphic design in Berlin, which has almost inevitably influenced her crisp, angular fashion shoots. On her travels however Jessica takes loose, hazy photographs that crackle with the energy of exotic locations and serve as tantalising, abstract snapshots of what seems like one big adventure – an adventure we'd all like to be on.

There's no shortage of comics, books, films and radio programmes that deal with the subject of dystopian futures. If you believe the predictions of our greatest sci-fi auteurs, the distant future will be one in which governmental control is complete and our civil liberties and basic human rights lie in tatters; emotion, procreation and relaxation banned in favour of order and efficiency.
It's Nice That favourite Christoph Niemann has been keeping very busy recently. Between creating a football web essay about Brazil's World Cup curse for the New York Times, and delivering an incredibly inspiring speech at our creative symposium Here last month, he's found the time to put together a sleek new website to showcase all of his spectacular work. The site is easy to navigate, and it's big and bold and bright, and we can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon hours than by browsing through all of Christoph's witty GIFs and whimsical illustrations.
We've focused a lot so far on the students- taking part in this year's Royal College of Art graduate exhibition Show RCA 2014. But it's an intense time for the staff too, so in our latest video renowned graphic designer and Dean of the Communication School Neville Brody talks to us about this year's work, and why the show is still such an important time for an institution like the RCA, against a challenging educational landscape.

In a city as publicly cramped as Guadalajara, you can't expect a lot of space to be dedicated to public parking. And even if there was, it would certainly not enhance the city's charm. The grand majority of the parking space is the streets. The city could stand to make good buck with this, but it won't. On the few streets that it has gone so far as to place parking meters, you might never know it. No one, including myself, pays them any attention. Once in about every twelve blue moons you'll find tickets secured under the wipers of a whole block of cars. You can pay these little fines, if you want to… if you don't want to you can just wad them up and toss 'em wherever… it will likely come to nothing. Tickets here, for any infraction, apply to the car, not the driver. A driver could get away with not paying dozens of tickets for years.. but trying to sell the car later, in any honest fashion, is much more difficult . At any rate, no one is legally bound in any form to pay for street parking during the evening and nighttime hours.
One particular evening not long ago, I went to a bar… found a lucky spot a couple of blocks away, evidently someone had just left.. a simple parallel maneuver.. back up.. turn the wheel, and just like that you're in.. with a good four inches to spare on either end.. easy as mac 'n cheese.. were it not for the dingbat standing right behind me, waving his red cloth around and creating every distraction imaginable, hollering to me that it's okay.. "you've got plenty of space… viene viene (c'mon c'mon)" Yeah.. I got space… and your fat-assed soon to be mashed and bleeding cadaver is wallowing all around in it!! Wouldn't that make for a sensational photo!
Meet the franelero. The term is derived from the rag, which is called a franela. His name, sometimes hers, isn't important. Do you give names to unwanted vermin scurrying about your humble home? A most unpleasant hallmark of an economy never, ever to be free from crisis, he stands to make far more in a day than do many of the supposed rich people with cars he's there to suck money from. So he turns a five second simple procedure into a thirty second ordeal.. and then comes to your door as you get out and tries to chat you up with some painfully ironic gibberish like.. "you see? that wasn't so hard, was it?"
But I'm not in the mood. I tell him "could have been easier..", crediting him as little attention as possible. I don't know if he catches my drift, or even wants to, or even cares, but as I begin to walk away, he calls for further deference – "Jefe, it'll be 20 pesos…". Pacing on, I respond what I normally do… "Yeah, whatever.. I'll get ya when I come back…" - "Noo jefe you have to pay first…" Well.. that earns an eye contact at least. "..and if I don't???" - "Bueno, señor.. I can't make any guarantee that you'll find your car in the same condition that you left it." Until this moment the game is just innocent tit for tat.. but from here one has to decide whether to pay or to take it to the next level.. in a game which one must rationally assume that the franelero possesses far more experience. Most people pay at this point, if, through the warped education from prior experiences, they haven't paid already…
But again, I just wasn't in the mood. "Well what are you good for, then? Look, this vehicle may not look like much, but it's my bread and butter, just as your bread and butter is this stupid business you do. So if I find the vehicle damaged when I leave here, I also cannot guarantee that I won't take that silly red rag of yours and force it down your throat. And why would I even care if it wasn't you that did it, I'll still batter you.. one way or another. It's not like I won't know where to find you. So perhaps it's you who should evaluate what 20 pesos is really worth….."
When you're not in the mood, you just don't care. When you're not in the mood, rationality is not king. When you're not in the mood, any sense of danger is maimed, taped up in plastic and helplessly suffocating.
But in the end the question still lingers… should people react this way or not? The most common and safest answer is "NO"… but the philosophy underlying that answer is about as deep as the water in a mirage. The 'no' answer is the voice of expedient reason… "why risk expensive damage to my car over twenty pesos.. besides, he's out here probably trying to get by in order to feed his kids.. " Expedient, because people go to bars or wherever else to enjoy themselves and frankly don't want such heavy stress on their shoulders all night, wondering if their car is okay out there. The night factor weighs heavily on the vehicle owner's sense of security, even though the franeleros do work in the daytime as well. But it's far safer to damage, break into or rob someone's car in the darkness of night.… twenty pesos is no more than the price for one beer.. surely if the guy's going to keep an eye on my car, that's worth a beer.. isn't it??
But go any deeper, and all you will find is the fabrication of an anxiety in order to charge money to assuage it.. pure and simple extortion. And in this light the franelero and his activity become naturally unacceptable. For those who can see it from this angle, the act of paying creates not only the guilt of having lost a 20 peso wager of the wills, but far more importantly that 20 pesos has just left one's pocket to fund the very thing we wish would disappear. I may forget about it while in the bar.. I might not, but I´ll certainly be reminded of it when leaving, as he runs back up the street to hold my door open for me as I try to get around him to enter my vehicle… well, actually, that last part is only true if I didn't pay at the beginning.
Now even though this problem may be magnified with foreign drivers, for all the obvious reasons, it's essentially one for the citizens here to reconcile one way or another. There is absolutely no doubt that if the franelero worked all day or all night and didn't manage to coerce even one driver in that time, his act would disappear from our daily reality.
But that's not going to happen.
There's a strange irony in life that an assortment of people from the lowly franelero to the lofty politician like to feed on. People rarely organize in mass for a cause and actually see it through. In reality, each of us possesses a self centered perspective of how the world works and should work. And like a perfectly arranged pyramid of a thousand empty beer cans, we prefer not to tinker with it. It's not that we don't have the ability as individuals to overcome this, it's just that we generally don't do it. Perhaps we're afraid to; afraid that the perilous undertaking will somehow violate our sense of right and wrong and leave us floundering in an ever imploding world of screaming kids, woefully untalented traffic, and cartoonishly dense 24 hour news coverage. It's a legitimate fear… The irony is that this particular common thread of self centeredness among all of us is what allows the likes of the politician to connect with so many as a mass. He talks about things that he believes will resonate with the greatest common bulk of self centered concerns.. which usually is found within the lowest common denominator of any number of people.
In the same way, the franelero knows that you're far less concerned about what he's doing than you are about your car and your night ahead of you. He assures you, for a small sum, that everything will be okay. He knows you're not likely to consider that he cannot possibly care for every car he's collected for. How many are there.. 50? 75… 150?? You're just thinking about you.. and that you don't want him to single out your car because he didn't get any money from you. That's worth 20 pesos, isn't it?
And so why would they ever go away?
It's not that these guys are bad people… or if some of them are it's certainly not being a franelero that makes them so. Many of them indeed are people just trying to make a living. With most of them you could sit down and enjoy a beer, to be sure. Maybe then you could learn what their names are. But their work amounts to nothing more than petty extortion, and rarely will I ever find myself in the mood to reward it. I'm often warned, "But if you don't pay him, your vehicle becomes a target.." Wrong. If anything happens to my vehicle on his supposed watch, the franelero becomes my target.
Here's a good idea - next time one of these guys hassles you for money, tell him to pay you 20 pesos, and you'll keep an eye out to make sure that someone like me doesn't get him. You think he'll take the offer seriously? If not, then ask him why the hell he thinks you should seriously consider his.
Not my video.. but this girl's got sort of the right idea…

Mimi Cave: Bizness
Mimi Cave seems to be a restless soul. Not content with simply being an accomplished (and qualified) dancer, she is also a pretty stellar music video director, choreographer and Yoga teacher. Her latest, for the sublime tUnE-yArDs is a real head-turner, and somehow manages to seamlessly employ colour, movement, energy and a few restless kids to perfectly compliment Merrill Garbus' most polished piece of music yet. One to shake you out of your sunny Monday coma.

With blue clouds + laughter
'With blue clouds + laughter' belongs to a series titled 'Liminal Portraits', which consists of 15 large scale color photographs made with my mother during 1999/2000. This series builds on an earlier set of B+W studio portraits (1996-1998) and further develops the collaborative practice of portraying my mother over an prolonged period of time. The work attempts to think through contested notions of beauty and suggests that the process of photographic portraiture can act as a moment of celebration.

Famous throughout the world for its stadium, the town also owes its renown to the basilica where several kings of France are buried. The present monument was built by Abbot Suger in the 12C and by Pierre de Montreuil in the 13C. The town's trading activity expanded in the 12C which, by the 19C, had been replaced by heavy industry. Affected by the economic crisis thirty years ago, the town has now recovered and is beginning to prosper.

CMA decision allows firms to split shares five to one
The Saudi Capital Market Authority recently revealed that it would allow firms to split their shares five for one, and to change the nominal share value of all joint-stock companies listed on the Saudi stock exchange (Tadawul) from SR50 to SR10.
The splitting will increase liquidity and stock movement, while allowing small investors to purchase shares in leading companies that have a high market value.
The announcement came on Tuesday, according to <i>Arab News</i>, and comes at the heels of an earlier decision allowing non-Saudi residents to trade directly in the stock market.
Analysts believe that with large number of IPOs this year, these were positive moves for the market. They added, however, that more regulations need to be implemented.
"The splitting will make the market value of the shares more affordable for people especially small investors, thus expanding the base of investors, which will increase the demand and eventually increase the market value of the shares," said one analyst on the condition of anonymity.

Shabbat Menu – Honey Recipes
1 comment | Leave Comment
This week Moses completes the transfer of leadership to Joshua and reminds the Children of Israel of the centrality of Torah in their lives at this time and for all time. As the Jewish people are about to enter the Land of Milk and Honey and considering this week's parsha "falls" during our fall holiday season from Rosh Hashanah through Simchat Torah, I hope it's understandable that I've got honey on my mind and in my recipes for this week's Shabbat menu. Wishing our amazing Joy of Kosher community a Shana Tovah U'Metucha (Happy and Sweet New Year)!

'Lost': Cause and effect, Part One
"Lost" has always involved philosophy as part of its complex package. From the use of various names of philosophers in the naming of its characters to the fundamental problems faced by everyone it its universe, the show has constantly striven to provide a philosophical underpinning to its fantastical world. But in dealing with the repercussions of Sayid shooting Ben, it's forced the audience more than ever to confront the problems faced by the fictional characters they have followed for five seasons.
In essence, the show is all but breaking down the fourth wall to ask the audience: "What would YOU do?" The playful interplay between Miles and Hurley is undoubtedly a prescient take on Darlton's part to anticipate the various questions we would have upon seeing Young Ben amidst his future antagonists, but it's the way in which Jack, Juliet, Kate and Sawyer deal with Ben's life-threatening condition that forces us to put us in their footsteps. Forget about asking yourself about what you would do if you found yourself on an Island with a smoke monster; ask instead if you would save the life of someone you thought could cause unspeakable harm later in life.
I use "could" intentionally, because the four are acting in an air of relative uncertainty. When they signed up to return to the Island, the Oceanic 6 did not know they would end up in 1977 living alongside a younger version of their nemesis. Had they known, then the philosophical inquiry would have taken place in modern-day Los Angeles, deep in the bowels of a church hiding a Dharma station.
The question is NOT, "Should we go back and kill this man before he can do any harm?" For one thing, the ability to even do so is in question thanks to Faraday's beliefs about causality and Hawking's assertion of course correction. Secondly, I doubt any of the 06 would have preemptively agreed to such a plan, even without Ben there to stare slack-jawed as they argued the merits of killing his younger self. What we're dealing with post-Sayid's attack are people coming to grips with an action they couldn't have predicted that fashions a future that is far from clear.
It's one thing to say "whatever happened, happened." It's quite another to say "whatever will happen, will happen." The former assumes a universe in which certain elements are irrefutable/unchangeable. The latter assumes there's an invisible hand up all our posteriors, denying us both will and responsibility. I don't buy that's what's going on, which is why I'm less worried about "fate" as a guiding principle in the "Lost" universe than critics that state that nothing that happens anymore matters due to its being predestined to happen.
What's playing out is not some sort of puppet theatre, but the series of choices made by people at certain times that led to a particular outcome. It's the choice that matters in the "Lost" universe, and if you want to assign some master plan to an individual, assume said architect selected people with certain dispositions, psychological makeup, and yes, philosophical outlook. If you put those people into a specific social scenario, you might have a good chance of decently predicting how they will act. But you can't actually MAKE them do anything.
Let's take an example from my life. I met my wife back in 2003. I met her at a housewarming party in Manhattan; I happened to be living in Boston at the time. So the popular, romantic notion is for people to say, "Well, if you hadn't gone to that party, you never would have met, and you never would have gotten married." Which is not only extremely dumb, but also completely ignores the work put into this relationship afterwards. As if the work of this relationship was somehow locked down by some cosmic force making my friend move during that month while pushing me onto a Greyhound Bus while kicking her out of the door that night instead of staying in. As Aristotle once said, "As IF!"
One can look at our life now as the inevitable course of action, or as a series of discreet decisions that led to this point simply because we MADE all of those decisions. If you view it as the former, than we weren't actually involved in our lives. We just coasted along the ebbs and flows of Father Fate. Or, you're Jack right now, waiting idly for the Island to do its thing while Ben bleeds. If you view it as the latter, then you see Kate and Juliet's desire to save Ben not as a part in some cosmic screenplay but making a choice based on personal morality.
Further complicating this choice? The parties involved are not guaranteed that either of their options will actually have the desired outcome. Tomorrow, I'll look at the affect of this choice made by the "Lost" leading ladies, abetted by Sawyer. Are either Faraday or Hawking's theories infallible? How much wiggle room does the time/space continuum allow? Is change not only possible, but inevitable from here on in? We'll discuss more in detail in the next entry.

I'm sure you know that yes there a lot of guys that can squat 600, but take equipment out of the equation and that number is a lot less. There aren't many raw guys doing 600 lbs that are under 250 lbs, to parallel or ATF!
I'm also agreeing with you that ATF squats should not be the only part of the equation. Partial rep work has it's place, for sure.

Only about 35% of enterprises have a Software Asset Management (SAM) program in place today, according to industry analysts. Many are starting on the journey to implement a SAM program but are running into the common challenges—extremely complex software license agreements, license models and product use rights, highly dynamic virtualized environments, and globally distributed organizations. As a result, many enterprises are taking a look at SAM managed services as a way to meet these challenges and more quickly achieve the desired business outcomes.

This paper presents the results of a task to analyze the operating experience data for large, pulsed power supplies used at the DIII-D tokamak. This activity supports the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project by giving fusion-specific reliability values for large power supplies that energize neutral beams and magnets. These failure rate data are necessary to perform system availability calculations and to make estimates of the frequency of safety-significant events (e.g., power supply arcs or fires) that might occur in other fusion facilities such as ITER. The analysis shows that the DIII-D data results compare well with the results of similar data analysis work that the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment (ENEA) has performed on the JET tokamak and compare fairly with data from two accelerators.

continued Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish, a Moriah resident, said Venne was an outstanding member of the community.
"He got a medal for helping rescue a child during the flood last year," Jaquish said. "It's very sad. He was athletic and a very good boy."
A 2001 Moriah Central School graduate, Venne was an oustanding student and athlete. He was named to the 2000 all-state football team as a running back and linebacker by the New York State Sports Writers Association.
"He was a great, great kid — no, he was an outstanding man," said Bill Larrow, Moriah Central School superintendent. "He was a true leader, a model student and someone the entire community looked up to.
"I really don't know what to say," he continued. "He was one of the very best. He believed in the military, he believed in his mission."
Don Tesar, Moriah football coach, said Venne exemplified all the qualities he hopes to find in a player and student.
"He was Moriah football," Tesar said. "He lived it his entire life. He practiced hard, played hard and demanded respect from opponents and teammates. He was a great football player and a great kid to be around. He made everyone and everything around him better. He was a real leader."
Tesar said he and his coaches will discuss ways to honor Venne's memory. The Vikings play in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D quarterfinals Saturday at 1 p.m. at Rensselaer in Schuylerville.
"The kids all know him because his mother is a teacher at school and they know what he accomplished," Tesar said. "He's a role model for our players today."

music reviewBy James Bullock
The legendary Zambian band's compilation captures the energy, excitement and unpredictability of Zamrock at the peak of its 1970s glory.
"Give love to your children / like the sun gives strength to the soil / the moon gives fear to the night / and the stars lead the way for the blind / and the wind gives life to the leaves. / Give love to your children."
These majestic opening lines offer a powerful taste of the holistic, even cosmic, span of Give Love To Your Children by the legendary Zambian band Musi-O-Tunya.
The recently re-released compilation brings together songs recorded between 1972 and 1976, in the heyday of the Zamrock, a psychedelic genre that emerged amidst the economic troubles and social tensions of mid-70s Zambia.
Many people credit Musi-O-Tunya and their renowned front man Rikki Llilonga with creating the flamboyant musical style, but this album was their second after Llilonga left the band. The remaining line-up, however, was still more than enough to spark that Zamrock magic with Wayne Barnes on guitars, band leader Derek Mbao on bass and vocals, Brian Chengala on drums alongside Aliki Kunda and Jasper Lungu on congas, and all backed up by a bold brass section.
Even with its wide scope, Give Love To Your Children is a collision of worlds. The cover is a sign of this, made up of a cross-section of interwoven colourised photographs, showing the eclectic mien of traditional Zambian music alongside the hip image of 1970s Zamrock.
The unpredictable soundscape of the album similarly juxtaposes a myriad of diverse influences. Musi-O-Tunya were clearly inspired by the rock sounds of 1970s Europe and the US, but this is only a fraction of the psychedelic textures and sounds. Fuzzy, frenzied solos from guitarist Wayne Barnes whip across songs as Derek Mbao's earthy bass restlessly moves the groove forwards and round. Brian Chengala's percussion meanwhile brilliantly pushes the beat and jams through an entire arc of feeling, building and dropping the intensity while - above all - maintaining a completely danceable afrobeat or kalindula. The brass section too is glorious, triumphantly leading the band at times. Together, as Musi-O-Tunya, the band has sheer groove.
Throughout Give Love To Your Children, Musi-O-Tunya explore a huge number of ideas, whether through the recurring joyful, sprawling guitar solos or the sombre - in meaning, if not in tone - lyrics of 'Starving Child' ("Someday everything will be alright / Everything's going to be alright").
The result is still a consistent, powerful record. So often cover-all statements like 'great energy' are readily applied to albums but if there was ever a time to use the cliché, it is here. This is a band intimately in tune with one another and the result is a full-to-bursting sound.
However, that is perhaps where the clichés should end. In fact, to some ears Give Love To Your Children could be unpredictable and it's certainly complex. But this is arguably to its strength, and it is the moments of sheer excess that are most filled with personality and character. The album's lyrics also cover typical Zamrock concerns and darker social and personal issues (the profound 'My Baby' for example) but also break with that convention by entering hazy, hallucinogenic territory too.
But this is what is so compelling about Musi-O-Tunya: they are unafraid to experiment with traditional ideas and spoken word. For example, there are whole sections that are free from all traces of 'modern' instrumentation. 'Bashi Mwana' is in this vein and is perhaps even a welcome break from the fuzz and intensity of the previous tracks. Lyrically, songs are an even balance between English, Bemba and Nyanja. 'Katonga' is one of the album's highlights, opening with a traditional call and answer and accompanying trumpets, only to kick into to a trippy guitar solo and slick afrobeat rhythms before turning again to a bright sung harmony.
You may have trouble keeping up, but this is an album not to be missed.
Musi-O-Tunya's Give Love To Your Children (Now-Again Records) is out now.

Pipkens Goal Leads IU to First Win
|News Update
September 7, 2003
St. Louis, Mo. Freshman defender Megan Pipkens scored her first career goal and the Hoosiers first season goal in a 1-0 victory over Army Sunday afternoon.
Pipkens goal came 72:52 minutes into the game on an assist from Emily Hotz. Hotz was able to get by her defenders on the right side and give Pipkens 12 yards in front of the net. Pipkens turned to face the net and took one touch to get the ball in the left side of the net.
We didnt play any differently as far as the number of shots we took, corner kicks, or our aggressiveness, said Coach Lyon. Todays game was very similar to the previous three games, we had many chances to score, and are glad we actually got one today. We made a little change in our formation and that definitely helped.
The Hoosiers were bound to get a goal as they applied pressure on Armys defense and kept the ball in their possession for most of the game. Indiana dominated on offense and defense, firing twenty shots, ten of them on goal, and holding the Black Knights to just three shots.
In the first half, five Hoosiers attacked the defense and were able to get themselves in scoring position. Defender Erin Hesselbach had the first attempt of the game as she got a head on the ball after a cross in the middle. Kristen Zmijewksi and Emily Hotz kept the ball moving in front of the net, each taking two shots on goal.
Kim Grodek sparked the Hoosiers offense early in the second half. Just two minutes into the half, she belted two shots on target that were slightly wide. Zmijewski used her quick footwork to out hustle her opponents and create more chances to score.
The Hoosiers, now 1-3, are back in action on Friday September 12. They face Butler University at Lawrence Park in Indianapolis at 7:00 p.m.

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Recap of Season 3, Episode 22, "The Departed": Elena's Choice
We should have known that we were in for one heckuva episode when Elena (Nina Dobrev) woke up in a good mood. At the start of "The Departed," E's smiling as she puts on her cheerleading uniform. She's in a pre-Salvatores Mystic Falls, circa Spring 2009. Downstairs, her parents are still alive, as is Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning), who is visiting. All is right with the world.
But this is the third season finale of The Vampire Diaries, so it takes next to no time for things to go deliciously wrong. Then, before we know it: One member of the Mystic Falls Scooby Gang is dead, another's probably undead, and a third is possessed by a fourth who decides to time-share a body. But we are so getting ahead of ourselves here. Let us go back to the beginning and suspiciously happy Elena.
This episode picks up exactly where the last week's tale left off. Turns out, our girl, isn't dreaming. She's remembering while in a concussive sleep at Mystic Falls General Hospital. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) found his sister lying on the floor bleeding into the paint, and now she's in the hospital where Doc Meredith says she has "a slight concussion."
When they hear this news, the Salvatores, who are still driving towards the coast with the body of O.V. Klaus (Joseph Morgan), have a hissy fit. How dare Jeremy dial 9-1-1 and let paramedics take his bleeding sister to the hospital where O.V.s and hybrids could easily get to her. How dare he react like a normal human would! After reaming Jer, the Salvatore bros make a decision: One of them is going to head back to Mystic Falls to check on Elena while the other hides Klaus. Stefan (Paul Wesley) gets the good end of the coin toss.
Before Stefan can race back to Elena, Vampire Alaric (Matt Davis) shows up at the hospital all upset that no one called him to come pick up his ward. He stops by the lab to destroy Meredith's vampire blood supply and to ream her for well, everything. "I'm getting this town back under control," he says before promising to get her fired and have her medical license revoked. When Alaric finally walks into Elena's room she's gone.
Missing Alaric by minutes, Jeremy, Caroline (Candice Accola), and Matt (Zach Roerig) take Elena back to the Gilbert house, where uninvited vampires may not enter. They dote on her. Caroline even offers to make her "tea with vodka." Elena is touched by all the attention. She drinks and flashes back to 2009 — to the fateful day of the homecoming bonfire when she and Matt were still a couple but not for long.
When Elena wakes up, Matt's looking down at her the way he used to. "I'm sorry that I strung you along," she says. "I should have figured out what I wanted and been honest about it." Elena goes on to tell Matt that she making the same mistake with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan.
Speaking of the Salvatores, Stefan arrives minutes before Elijah (Daniel Gillies) does. Yes, that Elijah. The Original vampire shows up at the front door of Casa Gilbert. He wants to make a deal with Elena: If she helps him locate his desiccated brother and take the white oak stake from Alaric, he promises not to wake Klaus while she and her offspring are still alive.
Damon listens over the phone while Elijah negotiates with Elena. He does not think she should trust Elijah. Heck, he doesn't even think she should be allowed to broker such a deal. But Stefan lets Elena make the decision on her own. When Matt points out how stupid it is, Stefan says, "There's nothing wrong with free will, Matt. Trust me. You don't realize that until you lose it."
While she's out, Elena takes us into another flashback. It's later the same day. She has broken up with Matt. She's outside of the bonfire walking down a lonely road talking to her mother on her cell phone. When she wakes she's furious to find herself in Matt's car speeding out of town.
Damon calls Stefan to tell him of Klaus's demise. He also wants to see if his brother is feeling okay. Stefan is fine. They both are — for now. But they're worried because it has been less than an hour since Klaus died. Is their end near? If it is, Stefan points out that Damon will not have time to drive back to Mystic Falls. Damon thinks Stefan's saying this because he wants to have an "epic goodbye" with his brother. But Stefan's thinking of Elena and how Damon won't have time to say goodbye. "Well, I guess you'll just have to say goodbye for both of us," Damon says. "Call me if you cough up a lung."
After Stefan hangs up, Jeremy tells him that Damon wouldn't be able to bid adieu to Elena anyway because and Matt had conspired to take her out of town.
Matt has a more optimistic outlook. When Caroline calls to tell them about the death of Klaus, Matt tells Elena she's got just enough time to see one of the Salvatores. Either she heads back to Mystic Falls to Stefan or onward to the storage units to Damon.
Elena finally makes her choice, and she chooses... Stefan. When she calls to check on Damon, she tries to soften the blow by saying that she was returning to Mystic Falls to see Caroline and Tyler as well. But Damon sees through it and he asks her, if she would go home to Stefan even if Car and Ty weren't there. She says she would. "I love him, Damon," Elena says of Stefan. "He came into my life at a time when I needed someone and I fell for him instantly. No matter what I feel for you. I never unfell for him."
Damon nearly breaks our hearts when he replies, "Yeah, I get it. Stefan. It's always gonna be Stefan."
Meanwhile Caroline's main concern is Tyler. She vamps through the woods into the old Lockwood dungeons to meet him. She sobs as she tells him that Klaus has died. Ty puts on a brave face and comforts her. "I'm a lost cause but you're strong and you have a beautiful life ahead of you," he says. They kiss and hug. Then Ty bends over, coughing. He tells Caroline to leave but she won't. He falls to all fours and starts to change, painfully. She still refuses to go. Tyler punches the floor, looks up at Caroline, and growls with hungry hybrid eyes. "Go!" Caroline vamps out.
While Elijah negotiates with Elena, Alaric tries to make a deal of his own. When Jeremy drops by the Grill to pick up some takeout, Evil 'Ric bumrushes him. He asks Jeremy to help find where the Salvatores are hiding Klaus's body. In exchange, he promises to kill Klaus and all his siblings, effectively wiping out the vampire species. After he does that, he offers to sacrifice himself. When it looks like Jeremy will side with Elena and the Salvatores and Co., 'Ric threatens, "I'm going to get Klaus either way Jeremy. Be on the right side of this."
Across town, Caroline and Tyler (Michael Trevino) leave Elena's house to go meet with their moms. When they show up at the Lockwood mansion, the mayor and the sheriff tell them that Alaric outed them to the council and, now, they must leave town — go anywhere. And hide.
At first Caroline doesn't want to run. But Tyler talks her into it. "If we have to spend the rest of our lives running. I will run with you," Caroline tells him. They agree to meet in two hours — after she has had a chance to help Elena.
But, as usual, Bonnie (Kat Graham) is already helming Team Save Elena. The witch of Mystic Falls meets Damon 100 miles outside of town at a storage unit where he has stashed Klaus. They open the casket to look at the O.V. He's wrapped in silver chains, all dried and crusted. Suddenly his eyes open. "That's creepy," Damon says. But Bonnie sees it as an opportunity. She asks for a few moments alone with the man. Damon grants Bonnie's wish and leaves her in the storage unit with the O.V.
Back at the house, Stefan and Elena have a moment. "Lately I feel like every time someone walks out of this house there's a chance they might not come home," Elena tells him. Stefan promises to do what he can to keep everyone safe. As Stefan moves to leave, Elena calls out to him but then says "never mind." He turns walks back to her, grabs her, and kisses her. Theirs is a hot, memorable smooch. "That's just in case there is no later," he says. Awwww.
Back at the storage unit, Bonnie leaves without telling Damon what she said/or did to Klaus. Damon sticks around to wait for Rebekah (Claire Holt). Wrong move. Before the Original Sister arrives, Alaric does. He surprises Damon, and chokes him while trying to force him to tell Klaus's location. When Damon doesn't spill, Alaric breaks his neck and drops him. But 'Ric doesn't stake his former friend.
Damon wakes later just in time to save an unsuspecting Rebekah from hunter Alaric. They grab Klaus's coffin and head for the door, where Alaric catches them and easily puts them down. Next, while Rebekah screams in horror, Alaric takes out the white oak ash stake and sticks it deep into Klaus. The O.V.'s chest bursts into flames.
In town at the Gilbert house, Matt brings Elena a strange-tasting tea. He sits and listens while she has a pity party. "I wish I had my mom here to give me advice," she says before going on to talk about what she loves about each of the Salvatores. Just when it seems like Matt's being too good of a friend, Elena passes out. He loads her into his truck and heads out of town.
Caroline calls Elena and tells her about Tyler. Matt rages at the steering wheel. "This isn't how our lives was supposed to be Elena," he says.
Rebekah tearfully tells Elijah she couldn't stop Alaric from killing their brother. They hug. Elijah tells Beks that the rest of the gang is still alive. They both agreed that Klaus sired the Salvatore line. So they don't understand why the brothers still live. "How are they alive?" Elijah asks.
Cut to Bonnie walking into the old Lockwood dungeon. Tyler struts out to meet her. Only it's not Ty. He's been possessed by Klaus. "I must say you really did that spell brilliantly. I didn't think you had it in you," Klaus says. Bonnie replies, "I did it to save my friends and my mother, Klaus. Not you."
Rebekah's sorrow has turned to rage. She refuses to leave town. Instead she plans to avenge her brother by killing Elena. Beks goes to stand in the middle of the road that leads back into town. When Matt's truck comes barreling down it, he veers right to avoid hitting her. They go over the rail and into the water at the same spot where Elena's parents died.
Again we flash back to 2009. Elena is in the car with her parents. Water rushes in. She and her dad struggle, trying to break the windows. Neither can. Elena's father takes her hand just as Stefan shows outside their submerged car. Elena's father gestures for him to save her first. He does.
History repeats itself beneath the Wickerly Bridge. This time, when Stefan dives into the water, Elena gestures for him to save Matt first. He does.
Meanwhile, Alaric's trying to beat the cute out of Damon. D refuses to fight back. Instead he tries to play the but-we-were-friends angle. It's not working very well. Alaric slaps Damon with the white oak stake. And, this time, it's Damon who flashes back to the night of the bonfire.
Turns out, Damon and Elena met before she ever met Stefan. Damon saw her there on that road and mistook her for Katherine. They chatted, flirted even. She tells him what happened with Matt. He tells her "you want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure. And even a little danger." Then, as her parents drive up, Damon compels Elena to forget that they've ever met.
Damon is still thinking about that moment when Alaric gets the better of him. But then, suddenly the hunter grows weak. He looks around panicked. He doesn't understand what's happening. But Elena does.
Next we see a saddened Stefan sitting next to Elena as she lays on a metal table in the morgue. Doc Meredith's freaking out. As Damon arrives in hurry, she tells him that Elena's head injury was more serious than she'd led Jeremy to believe. She confesses that she "helped" Elena heal. By "help" she means that she gave her vampire blood.
In the last seconds of the episode, we see Elena wake with a gasp.

Each year Roanoke College builds a house with Habitat for Humanity for a family in need in the Roanoke Valley. During orientation, the incoming students get to participate in building the "R-House." Stationed on campus, behind Olin Hall, the house is constructed on a raised platform. Students receive hands on experience, anything from raising the walls to hammering down the roof sheathing.
As students participate in the construction of the home, they also will benefit from working directly with the family that will be moving into the home once construction is complete. The experience of meeting and becoming acquainted with the family makes the experience more valuable for the students as they see the outcome of their hard work. After orientation is over and the framing is complete, the house is then relocated to its final destination. At the permanent site of the house, students continue work to finish the house until completion.
