Hiatus: Just for a little while...
I've been quite hesitant about writing this post as I somewhat didn't want it to have to come to this. I keep wanting to post then keep saving it to my drafts in the fear of what people might think. For me, writing this post is a form of 'quitting' or 'letting my guard down' in some ways and I hate feeling defeated by obstacles thrown in my way. But right now blogging isn't one of my main priorities and I want to tackle the 'irl' stuff first before I can fully put myself back into my blog. If you lack passion and motivation for something you are supposed to enjoy then what really is the point? I've always hated sounding like a 'me-me' person but I hope that it gives my readers a better understanding as to why I feel the need to just take a back seat for a while.
One of the main reasons for the hiatus is my depression. I was diagnosed June last year due to Post Traumatic Stress which was brought on by my dad's fiance dying of lung cancer and being made redundant from my job all in the space of two weeks. Without going into too much detail my dad and I had a very on/off relationship for many years and we basically hadn't spoken two years previous. Also loosing my full time job and the thought of going back onto the dole just two weeks after my dads fiance died was pretty hard to digest.
My depression has recently played a massive part when it comes to my blog. If many of you have a blog yourself you'll know of something called 'Bloggers Guilt' which I have suffered with for the past 4 years of having this blog. I have always felt that my blog is never good enough, especially over 4 years and feeling that I'm constantly stuck in a rut. With so many bigger bloggers out there and so many lesser known bloggers I often feel like a little fish in a big pond. It's so hard to stand out from the rest even when you are putting out genuine content and doing the same things that all the bigger bloggers do (and if not better for some). With depression and having feelings of guilt I just don't think these things make it any better for myself. People say you shouldn't compare yourself to others but sometimes it's just hard not to and to be quite honest, I think it's only normal to feel that way.
Another reason for this hiatus is that I have been working extremely hard at my job recently and my contract may change quite soon so I'll be even busier than I am now. With my depression and working I'm extremely lethargic and all I want to do on my days off is just sit in my pj's and 'veg out'. Most people know that blogging does take a lot of effort especially when you are doing it all single handed. I have such admiration for people who do it as a full time job.
And lastly, if you know me in real life or are following me on Instagram you'll know that I got my rescue dog Ozzy 6 months ago who I just had to put to sleep over a week ago. It was as simple as my mum throwing a ball for him and the next thing I knew he was in the vets as he was left paralysed in his back legs. Being an animal lover and especially with how I feel anyway it was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make in my life. Ozzy somewhat cured me of my depression. He gave me a reason to get up in the morning and kept my mind off things as I had him to think about and attend to. He was my best friend (and somewhat like my child) and within 4 days he was gone. I didn't eat for over a week and I hate to say this, but even had feelings of suicide. That's how heartbroken I was (and still am) over it.
People have told me that I need to think of myself more. So for once I'm going to take their advice. I really do enjoy blogging but I feel that I have so much on my plate (or in my head) that I need to sort myself out first before anything. I hope my honesty shows through this post and hopefully with that in mind, I really do hope people will not judge me for it. Depression is unfortunately quite a taboo subject but until you know someone who has suffered it or you're going through it yourself, you may never understand. Hopefully you can see where I'm coming from. Even reading back through this whole post brings me to tears.
I'm still on Instagram and may even do a couple Youtube videos in my spare time so follow me on those if you wish. I most certainly want to keep up with my blog, but as of now I just need some me time.

So I've been saving up and selling all my old clothes on Depop so I can re-decorate my room. I feel like every time I'm on the internet I'm looking at home stuff. I'm constantly on Pinterest & Tumblr looking for inspiration and trying to find unique pieces. The first thing I'd love to do would be to change my carpet but unfortunately that's not on the cards anytime soon.
I'm going for a scandi/minimal feel in my room. I re-painted it a nice mauve/stone colour (Soft Truffle by Laura Ashley to be precise) and just building all my furniture/decoration around it. Unfortunately I'm having to do things gradually due to lack of funds but most of the stuff I've gathered up are from eBay. You can always find great and affordable homewares on eBay and Etsy is great for finding unique pieces from cute little independent shops. I'm just so looking forward to having it all over and done with!

Outfit | Khaki Longline Blazer
Sunglasses - ASOS | Coat - H&M (sale) | Ribbed Polo Neck - BOOHOO | Jeans - TOPSHOP | Boots - BOOHOO
Hello lovelies!
So I picked up this amazing long-line blazer while killing some time before an appointment (as you do..) in the H&M sale for only £14.99! I'd been after something like this for ages and it just came at the right time and for 50% off why not?
I've been obsessed with Boohoo recently. I just keep seeing loads of nice stuff and the wishlist keeps expanding. I bought this little rib polo neck as I was buying my sisters birthday presents (I just couldn't help myself!) They have it in two other colours which I'm definitely getting on pay day!
Also these boots which are from Boohoo I adore. They are defiantly worth the cheap price tag and don't look under £20!
Hope you are all having a good mid week!

Outfit | Running Down A Dream
Sunglasses - ASOS | Denim Jacket - Charity Shop | Side Split Tank - BOOHOO | Jeans - ASOS | Nikes - ASOS
So I've had these pictures sitting waiting to be posted for a while and have only just gotten round to it now. I sound like a stuck record in every post and say that I've been busy working but I'm going to say that I just simply let this one slip my mind, it happens.
I picked up this cute denim jacket a while back and I adore it so much. I totally wasn't expecting to find a denim jacket but for £1.99 I couldn't pass it up. Don't you just love an item more when you find it unexpectedly? Not sure if that's just me...
With the better weather I managed to get my grey Nikes out and about that I got for Christmas. Only trouble is that they rubbed on the back of my heels so much which wasn't expected in the slightest. They seem so much more tougher to break in than my first pair of Roshe Runs but I adore them none the less.
Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday! I headed to a carboot a couple weeks ago and managed to pick myself up a Tom Petty Cd and I just can't get enough of it now, hence the title of this post.

Saying Goodbye to CSTM
I thought a few times on what to do for CSTM as they're retiring from podcasting, although luckily they'll still be gaming and on twitter so not completely gone. I won't be available to join the live show tonight, so I wanted to put up a post instead. I thought about recording something, but I just have too many thoughts in my head and it is much easier to organize in writing, then worry about trying to do it in writing and THEN make it through a recording.
I have enormous respect for what they've been able to do in growing their community and the quality of the material they've been able to put out. I know many point to their festival guides, which I'm not sure folks completely realize how much work goes into those especially now that so much of those are gated behind daily achievements. It takes dedication on their end as well as a contagious excitement that brings in others to help offset that enormous load. That kind of time and effort certainly can take a toll and with a family, I'm can totally see how that would become quite the challenge.
The other huge resource they've provided to the community are all the round-tables they've done. I joined in for the Warden and Captain ones and I know that I came away smarter about those classes so I'm sure many listeners learned from those as well. I've heard many reference those as must listen for new players of whatever the respective class they're playing. Not only were they smart enough to do those episodes, but wise (and humble) enough to realize they needed to bring on others to help collaborate. Its that spirit of collaboration that's been a constant in the LOTRO community and I really think CSTM has done an amazing job of expanding and fostering that mentality.
One of the other things they've helped not only myself, but I know many others is the courage and support they've given to the entire gaming community, not just LOTRO. They've done an amazing job of not only being approachable but also open enough such that folks realize that they too can blog and/or podcast. They've done a very good job of welcoming and encouraging people to contribute to their site, and many of those have branched out either on their own or contributing in multiple locations. In looking at the community, I'm sure there are quite a few who owe their start to CSTM and while it wasn't where I started they certainly had a big impact on my progress. Those lessons certainly will continue on, and although their leaving will be a huge blow to the community, because of all the work they've already put in, the community is in a much better position to carry their banner.
Both of our sites actually started up around the same time period and they were definitely one of the sites that really influenced and allowed me to do the things I wanted to do. It was very comforting and nice to know that there was a resource out there that covered the news and special events (festivals) to such an extent that I could focus my energy on other aspects of the game. It allowed me to write about the things I enjoy doing in game, and not have to spend time on things I didn't enjoy. I've had enough trouble trying to balance everything, and I know that if they weren't around I would've struggled even more!
I want to thank them for all their hard work and passion they've showed over the years and wish them the best in the personal, professional, and gaming lives. I'm not sure where the LOTRO community would be without their efforts, but it definitely would've been much worse off. I know they won't be totally gone, but they will still be missed.
And finally, they are leaving a significant void in the community and I'll have more coming here soon as to what I'm planning based on a few factors, one of which being their retirement.
For all those of appropriate drinking age, I suggest raising a glass to their future and appreciation of their work that will continue to benefit the community until LOTRO retires.

Airsoft combat 'is one of the funnest things I've ever done'
PORTLAND, Ore. - On the outside, it looks like any other warehouse you'd find in one of the city's industrial districts.
But what's inside is a full-on combat zone where folks armed with Airsoft guns go on military-style missions, act out scenarios (like trying to disarm a bomb) and learn how to work as a team to complete their objectives.
Tac-Ops Indoor Air-Soft, located at 5063 N.E. 122nd Avenue, just recently opened up for business about six months ago. Owners Wade and Nora Wilson, who also operate JJ Jump in Clackamas and Vancouver, said they decided to get into something like this as kind of a side project.
"The reason we got into the business is because our kids were totally into it," Nora explained. "We're still working out all the kinks and everything but it seems to be very popular," Wade added. "We've been mobbed at times."
Wade said when he and his wife started the business, they knew Airsoft had gotten popular in the last several years but they didn't quite realize there was actually a culture associated with the sport.
They soon learned that it's a hit not only with pre-teens and older teenagers, but adults as well. Both current and ex-military members have become fans too and Wade and Nora said they even have police officers and firefighters drop in. And then there are the ladies from the nearby Shari's restaurant that come in every week and the group from IKEA.
"It's the kind of sport that's for all people," said Nora.
"When I first started working here I didn't really expect to get into it," said Oleg Zaytsev, one of the range safety officers who keeps a sharp eye on the participants while they're in 'combat.' "I just thought 'oh man, Airsoft - little kids coming in here. And then I saw people coming in with like equipment and the whole nine yards. And I'm like, wait a second, this is awesome."
'With the video games they don't feel anything - here they feel the hit'
For kids (older than 10, the Wilsons recommend), it's a way to get them off the couch and away from a television or computer screen.
"It's like taking Modern Warfare or Call of Duty or any of these video games that they're playing and we're actually making them move instead of sitting in front of the computer," said Wade.
Of course some folks would argue that having kids shoot Airsoft guns at each other just promotes more violence, so we asked Wade and Nora what they would say to that.
"Every person is going to have their own personal opinion about guns, about war, about violence," said Nora. "The kids are going to play, so I'd rather they come and play in a safe environment where we can actually teach them vs. just letting them run around in the back yard shooting each other."
"And you know, the last time I checked being in the military is an honorable thing and not a negative thing," she added. "A lot of the kids that come here, they look up to those guys."
"The other thing is that there are consequences here," said Wade. "With the video games they don't feel anything. Here they feel the hit, they know they've been hit. I think it kind of subconsciously gives them the idea that you're not invincible like you are in the video games. There's actually a consequence for this."
'The amount of respect in the Airsoft community for the military is profound'
Thirty-year-old Kris Knutson has been stopping by Tac-Ops every week for the past several months. He said once he tried it, he was instantly hooked.
"It's one of the funnest things I've ever done," he said. "It's like I'm a kid again but I'm doing grown-up stuff." And fitness-wise, it's been good for his body - he said he's lost 10 pounds since he started.
Of course acting like a kid again can have a down side. Knutson said his girlfriend just doesn't get it at all. "She understands that I'm into it but she teases me because I have friends that can still get grounded," he said with a laugh.
For Knutson, though, it's more than just a chance to be young again. It's about getting a taste of what it's like for our military members who are in the line of fire.
"The amount of respect in the Airsoft community for the military is profound because now we understand what it's like," he said. "One day I came here with two guys who were in artillery and they were in Iraq. And they were like 'this is pretty much what it's like running around through Fallujah.' Another day a guy came out and said 'I'm glad I didn't join because I'd be dead.' "
'It better have an orange tip, it better be in a bag and it better be unloaded'
Now of course replica guns, specifically in connection with crimes, have been in the news recently and Mayor Sam Adams is even considering banning them from public display.
Under his proposal, you could carry one around in a case and you would still be allowed to fire it in your own yard (as long as you don't shoot pellets or paint balls into neighboring properties). You just would not be able to display the gun publicly, which could alarm a police officer, or anyone else for that matter.
We brought up the topic with Wade and Nora to get their thoughts. They said they are 100 percent behind the mayor and his proposed ban. They much prefer that people use replica guns in a safe environment, like what they have set up inside their warehouse, and keep them out of public view.
"One of the things that we tell all of our customers is that if they are going to bring a gun in here it better have an orange tip, it better be in a bag and it better be unloaded," said Nora. "And we tell them they should not drive around with a gun in their car that looks like a real gun."
"If we see one without an orange tip, we tell them that we highly recommend they put one on their gun so they don't get shot," said Wade.
"I think it's like anything else in life," said Knutson. "You're going to have those people who break the rules, don't have any respect for it and they ruin it for everyone else."
Matt Rowell, an Airsoft firearm expert who we talked to a few weeks ago, said he agrees with the mayor's idea as well, as long as it does not become an all-out ban on replicas.
"You know, when someone is springing up or suddenly pulls out a weapon that looks like a real gun, our officers have very few options other than to defend themselves," Rowell said.
The City of Beaverton has had a similar ordinance in place for five years and according to police there, it is working quite well. Spokesman Mike Rowe said he has noticed that there are fewer crimes committed with them and there have been no officer-involved shootings involving fake guns since the rules went into place.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with Russia's President Vladimir Putin during arrivals for the G-20 summit at the Konstantin Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
- Filed Under
As I read Vladimir Putin's sanctimonious op-ed article about U.S. policy in Syria, I imagined the Russian president sitting at the keyboard in a lovely pink negligee.
You will recall that when a satirical painting of Putin in lingerie went on display last month in St. Petersburg, police seized the offending artwork and shut down the exhibit. The artist, Konstantin Altunin, fled the country and is seeking asylum in France. No doubt he wanted to avoid the fate of the punk rock group Pussy Riot, three of whose members were arrested and sentenced to years in prison for an anti-Putin performance in a ...

Nearly everything associated with cycling, from brightly colored riding gear to vintage and new bikes to a mountain-bike race at a hastily built velodrome, could be found Sunday at the third annual Sonoma County Bike Expo.
"It is a celebration of everything that has to do with cycling," said Gary Helfrich, executive director of the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition and organizer of the event. "People really don't know how intense the bike scene is here."
The expo got rolling with an early morning 10-mile ride that drew 70 people, starting and ending at the Second Street parking lot at D Street, where 70 vendors filled the lot.
2012 Santa Rosa Bike Expo
Andrian Tamblin of Santa Rosa rode there with his family.
"It has everything for the tourist who comes here to ride, to the elite pro athletes," Tamblin said. "There looks like there are lots of good deals on bike gear."
Jeremy Sycip of Santa Rosa and other bike builders had a full shop set up to build a steel frame for a raffle winner.
Calfee Designs of Monterey had bikes made with frames of bamboo, a cheap and plentiful material that they are teaching residents to use in Third World countries to construct inexpensive bikes for transportation.
Rick Marraffino rode from his Rohnert Park home to see what was new in the world of cycling.
"I always rode as a kid and I am trying to do more of it," Marraffino said. "It is amazing how innovative bicycles get year to year."
Some cyclists used the expo as a way to empty out their garages of old and unused parts.

I am using Linq To XML to create XML that is sent to a third party. I am having difficulty understanding how to create the XML using Linq when part of information I want to send in the XML will be dynamic.
The dynamic part of the XML is held as a string[,] array. This multi dimensional array holds 2 values.
I can 'build' the dynamic XML up using a stringbuilder and store the values that were in the array into a string variable but when I try to include this variable into Linq the variable is HTMLEncoded rather than included as proper XML.
How would I go about adding in my dynamically built string to the XML being built up by Linq?
For Example:
//string below contains values passed into my class
string[,] AccessoriesSelected;
//I loop through the above array and build up my 'Tag' and store in string called AccessoriesXML
//simple linq to xml example with my AccessoriesXML value passed into it
XDocument RequestDoc = new XDocument(
new XElement("MainTag",
new XAttribute("Innervalue", "2")
'Tag' is an optional extra, it might appear in my XML multiple times or it might not - it's dependant on a user checking some checkboxes.
Right now when I run my code I see this:
<MainTag> blah blah </MainTag>
< ;Tag> ;< ;InnerTag> ; option1="valuefromarray0" option2="valuefromarray1" /> ;< ;Tag/> ;
I want to return something this:
<MainTag> blah blah </MainTag>
<Tag><InnerTag option1="valuefromarray0" option2="valuefromarray1" /></Tag>
<Tag><InnerTag option1="valuefromarray0" option2="valuefromarray1" /></Tag>
Any thoughts or suggestions? I can get this working using XmlDocument but I would like to get this working with Linq if it is possible.
Thanks for your help, Rich

Marvel One Shots – Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – "The Consultant" – Directed by Leythum – Starring Clark Gregg, Maximiliano Hernández, Robert Downey Jr., William Hurt, and Tim Roth; "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" – Directed by Leythum – Starring Clark Gregg; "Item 47" – Directed by Louis D'Esposito – Starring Jesse Bradford, Lizzy Caplan, Maximiliano Hernández, and Titus Welliver.
The Marvel One-Shots have been a nice treat for purchasers of the Blu-ray/DVDs, as Marvel has used them to further the Marvel Cinematic Universe in small ways. THE CONSULTANT (released on the THOR Blu-ray) and A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THOR'S HAMMER were short, lasting only a few minutes and serving mostly to make Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) look even cooler than he already was in the films. What appeals to me about these first two shorts (and the idea behind them) is that they have a vaguely MARVELS-esque vibe to them. (MARVELS being the legendary Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross mini-series about how normal people viewed the early days of the Marvel Universe from inside the universe.) When Marvel is at its best, there's a sense that all of the stories under its banner are taking place in the same world, that it is truly a shared universe, and Kevin Feige and Company have done a great job teaching moviegoers about this shared universe mentality by having Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Tony Stark (Rober Downey Jr.), and Agent Coulson pop up in different films in order to link them together. For comic fans, of course, it's not terribly surprising to see Tony Stark pop up in the HULK comic, but for movie fans, this was something relatively new.
Ben Affleck reprised his role as Daredevil/Matt Murdock for a brief appearance in Elektra but appears only as a deleted scene, there's a picture of Christopher Reeve's Superman in Supergirl, and Metropolis gets a mention in Batman and Robin, but for the most part, superhero movies have existed as solitary creations.
One thing I always tell my students about reading literature or watching movies is that the stories will tell you how to read or watch them, and that's what these one-shots have done, albeit in a small way. They signal to fans that this is all one big connected story, and it's nice to see that with ITEM 47 (included on the AVENGERS Blu-ray) is a significantly longer piece, and I can only hope we'll be getting more of them as we move forward.
THE CONSULTANT – Set after the events of THE INCREDIBLE HULK, THE CONSULTANT is short and sweet. Opening and closing with Agents Coulson and Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández) meeting at a diner, the film reveals that the World Security Council wants Emil Blonsky/Abomination as part of the Avengers Initiative. Coulson and Sitwell think this is a horrible idea, and reveal that Fury wants nothing to do with Blonsky, either. The WSC sees Banner as to blame for the incidents in INCREDIBLE, and still views Blonsky as a war hero. In order to sabotage the pick-up, Coulson sends "the Consultant" in to talk to General Ross (William Hurt). The Consultant is Tony Stark, and we see the early stages of his meeting with Ross, which are simply lifted from THE INCREDIBLE HULK. After the repeat (there's no new footage here), we're back in a diner (this time with Coulson doing the eating) to learn that Stark did his job and Ross refused to hand Blonsky over to them.
It's a nice, quick film, with Coulson the star of the piece. It's disappointing not to see anything new from Stark or Ross, but as a first One-Shot, THE CONSULTANT proves that, if nothing else, dipping the company's creative toes into the larger Marvel Universe makes a nice bonus feature.
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THOR'S HAMMER – Agent Coulson stops to get gas on his way to, well, Thor's hammer, which had fallen out in the New Mexico desert. Sticking the nozzle in his car, Coulson heads inside to the convenience mart. He's kneeling down, trying to decide whether to buy a package of Little Debbie's powdered donuts or Little Debbie's frosted donuts when two robbers enter. There's a very funny exchange between Coulson and the robbers, as Coulson is the calm one who has to, in essence, walk the robbers through their robbery. When they ask for his keys, he tosses it to them, but then they forget about him, so he has to inform them, "I also have a gun." He slides it to them, then breaks into action, hitting one of them in the head with some flour, then running at the other robber, kicking the top of his shotgun down, and then disarming both of them before casually paying for the donuts.
"I couldn't decide which one I wanted," he says calmly to the store clerk, whose hands stay up the entire time, handing her a bill. When she doesn't make a move to ring him up, he says, "Keep the change."
Seeing the action side of Coulson is different and cool, of course (he is a trained SHIELD agent), but what's impressive about him remains his calm demeanor.
ITEM 47 – A decided and confident attempt to offer something more than just background for the theatrical releases, ITEM 47 tells the story of the 47th alien artifact that fell to Earth after the Battle of New York. It is the one item that was not recovered and the one item that has been activated. Credit for that goes to Benny (Jesse Bradford), who somehow got the arm gun to work. His girlfriend Claire (Lizzy Caplan) convinces him they should start robbing banks, which puts them on SHIELD's radar, where Agents Sitwell and Blake (Titus Welliver) are still coping with the loss of Agent Coulson in AVENGERS.
It's Sitwell who goes after them, and Hernández does a good job playing Coulson-Lite, but … yeah, it would have been nice to see Coulson Prime instead of Coulson Lite. Still, it's a nice sequence where he tracks them to a hotel in Florida and ends up making them SHIELD agents; Sitwell has a bigger sense of humor than Coulson does, so I don't mean to imply this is a case where Hernández is reading Coulson's lines. He's a slightly different character filling the same role, and his decision to recruit Benny and Claire into the fold is a nice touch. His presentation of them to Blake, done with a big smile on his face and a joyful approach to his work makes him a fun character to watch, and I have no doubt that if Sitwell takes on a larger role in Phase 2 of the AVENGERS cinematic franchise, I'll grow to like him a whole heck of a lot.
At roughly 12 minutes, ITEM 47 is three times the size of the previous two efforts and the new length is just long enough to be a bit disappointing. Benny goes to work reverse engineering Chitauri tech and Claire becomes Blake's assistant, which consists of nothing more than sitting in her chair, spinning aimlessly, and staring at the ceiling. What's here is good (a disgruntled Blake asks her if she can make coffee and she replies she can't), but I was just starting to get invested in these characters when suddenly, it's over. Still, ITEM 47 is a decided step up in terms of attempt and style, and it ends up being slightly disappointing only because the promise for it being something more is so clearly in evidence.

Dear Carolyn: I really hurt my friend of 20-plus years when I backed out of a group vacation at the last minute. I e-mailed what I thought was a truly apologetic explanation, offering to try to make it up. I should have called, but I feared a bad reaction on my friend's part, which is exactly what happened.
She flipped out and became very emotional, quickly sending a very raw e-mail and voice mail that frightened me in their intensity. I've apologized again, asked to get together to talk about what happened, but I'm being shut out.
It's been six weeks. I have always been there for this friend through many trying times. Now I'm the one who's hurt by not having my appeals for forgiveness accepted. Am I still in the wrong, or is my friend being irrational? -- Friendship Rescue?
Dear Friendship: The e-mail was a truly terrible idea, as you say. But her refusal to hear you out, especially after all those years of friendship -- that's on her.
I'm not saying this to minimize your loss, just to put it in context: The implosion was probably inevitable, unless you somehow managed to do and say all the right things in perpetuity around this friend.
So while I can see why you feel hurt, I think that misplaces the blame. "Hurt" suggests she's harming you personally, with intent, where I'd argue she is simply unable to get over herself.
I do think a one-last-time call is appropriate. Explain to her (i.e., her voice mail) that you regret e-mailing, since you should have called; that you're sorry you let her down; that you value this friendship, and that you believe the 20 years you and she have shared warrant at least one chance for you to say your piece. Say you hope she'll grant you that much, and you'll gratefully take her call when she's ready.
Re: Friends Who Explode: Sadly, many people put more energy into maintaining those high-standards friendships. It really bothers me when people assume that because I don't throw a hissy fit, it's OK to cancel on me. So don't choose friends who punish you ... but don't be someone who needs the threat of punishment to do the right thing. -- Anonymous 2
Dear Anonymous 2: So right: Show some extra love for wheels that don't squeak.

Interrogating Pierre Bourdieu: towards a sociology of translation
Hanna, S 2013, Interrogating Pierre Bourdieu: towards a sociology of translation , St. Jerome Publishing, Manchester. (Unpublished)Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
This book seeks to explore the methodological and epistemological potentials of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of cultural production for the study of translation. Based on a case study of the Arabic translations of Shakespeare's dramatic work in Egypt, this book will elaborate the gaps that Bourdieu's work can fill in our understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics of translation, providing a critique of the diverse readings of Bourdieu's work in the field of translation studies and its implications for a 'sociological' turn in the study of translation and intercultural communication.

Here is information about the 2015 - 2016 Housing Selection process. Please read this information carefully even if you have gone through this process before; we revise the process every year. It is important that you complete the phases below by the deadlines listed if you want to live in Loyola housing. We provide housing on a space available basis. It is important for you to check your Loyola e-mail as we will communicate specific instructions for each class year in this manner. Additionally, we encourage you to check back on this page as we will be updating it as the process progresses.
All Rooms Separated by Roommate Group Size
2015-2016 Housing Contract
Deposit Letter from SAS
Letter from VP to Students Pertaining to Housing Selection 2015
Letter from VP to Parents Pertaining to Housing Selection 2015
What is Intent to Return?
This phase lets the Office of Student Life know what your plans are for next year. We make decisions based on the number of students who plan to live in Loyola housing, those who plan to live off campus, and those who plan to study abroad. By completing this phase we understand what kind of communication we need to send you in the future.
Do I need to complete this phase if I am studying abroad in the fall of 2015 or for the full 2015-2016 academic year?
YES! All students who currently live on campus or are currently studying abroad in Loyola programs MUST complete this phase. More information about housing options for the spring of 2016 will be shared with you when you are abroad.
Do I need to complete this phase if I am going to live off campus?
Yes! All students who plan to move off campus need to complete this phase and let us know your intention to live off campus. This will also give you the opportunity to select a meal plan if you choose to. Just a reminder that once you move off campus, you will be put on the housing waitlist if you wish to return to Loyola housing.
Students are pulled from the waitlist on a space available basis.
Should I complete this phase if I am planning on pursuing other educational opportunities at another school?
Great question! Since you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $600 in order to select housing, we strongly encourage you to consider how definite your plans are. If you KNOW you will not be returning to Loyola in the fall, then we encourage you to NOT fill out this phase and instead let us know by sending an email to Megan Rowe. If you are unsure but are worried about paying the $600 deposit knowing you will not be refunded if you decide to leave Loyola, we encourage you to speak to your family and make the decision that is right for you. If you decide to not complete this phase and later want to live on campus, we are always happy to add you to the housing waitlist and place you on a space available basis.
What should I do if I am unsure if I plan to live off campus in non-Loyola housing?
This year we have more students than ever before who want Loyola housing. We have a plan to accommodate as many students as possible, however in fairness to your fellow Loyola students, we encourage you to make a final decision about living off campus prior to February 9, 2015. Please keep in mind that once you pay your $600 deposit, it is non-refundable.
I was interested in the new "off campus but still Loyola" living option that I got an email about. Do I need to fill out my intent to return if I am interested in that option?
Yes! Complete your intent for Loyola housing. PLEASE do NOT indicate that you are "living off-campus." We will be sending out more information about this exciting opportunity so keep your eye on your inbox!
Do I have to select my meal plan before February 9, 2015?
Yes! This year we have incorporated meal plan selection into the housing selection process so it is easier for all students. You can make changes to the meal plan until September 3, 2015 by returning to the portal and changing your selection. If you have any questions about the meal plan, or want more information please visit http://www.loyola.edu/department/dining/mealplans or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How serious is the housing contract?
The housing contract is a legally binding agreement between the student and the University. Similar to a lease you would sign for an apartment, it is important that you read and understand its contents BEFORE you agree to it. If you agree to the contract and later want to back out, there are penalties. Please think about your choice carefully. A copy of the 2015-2016 housing contract can be found here.
What happens if I miss this deadline?
You cannot proceed in the process and will not be able to live with your intended roommates. You possibly may not even get to live in Loyola housing. We are really not kidding about that; you need to complete this phase and all others on time!
Does everyone in my group have to fill this out, or can I just do it for everyone?
Each individual person must fill it out. Since you will be updating your emergency contact information, selecting a meal plan, and agreeing to your housing contract, this process has to be completed by each individual student.
Why do I need to update my emergency contact and sign up for my meal plan?
We hope we never need to use your emergency contact information, but if we do, we need it to be accurate. We have you sign up for your meal plan during this phase because it is the only phase where each individual student is logging onto the portal.
Do I have to make a group or can I just go "random"?
In order to select housing, you must be part of a group. Student Life will host roommate socials so you can find a group and give opportunities to put up a roommate request online. We encourage you to take part in these processes so you can have a say in where you live.
What happens if I sign up with a group and later decide that I don't want to live with them anymore?
Selecting the right group can be challenging. We encourage you to make your decision carefully and make sure you are comfortable living with the whole group. Once you agree to join your group and your group is given a lottery time, you are locked in and cannot go to another group. Trust us; it is MUCH easier to have tough conversations about things you might be concerned about now rather than waiting to have these conversations when you are living with each other.
What happens if there are not enough rooms for the size group I want to live with?
Every year we have to reconfigure groups once lottery times come out. Last year we had to reconfigure 45 groups of rising sophomores who wanted to be in a group of 6 so it is important that you have a backup plan in case your group is told you need to reconfigure. Please know that we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know if you need to reconfigure, and we will assist you in making a new group.
There is someone I want to live with, but they are currently on a leave of absence from Loyola. How do I get them in my group?
You can only group with people who are currently living on campus OR those that are in a Loyola study abroad program. Unfortunately, we cannot leave a space open in your group for someone on a leave of absence from Loyola or in a non-Loyola study abroad program. Please encourage your friend to e-mail Megan Rowe in order to be placed on the housing waitlist.
Can I be in a group with people in class years other than my own?
Yes! All class years (with the exception of incoming first years) can select to live together. You should note that depending on the class years represented in your group your lottery time could be affected.
Help! I am in a group and need another member OR am a single needing a group!
Don't worry! Student Life will be hosting roommate socials on February 16, 2015 so you can find a group or a member for your group. We will also be sending out information on how to post a roommate request online to help you find others in a similar situation. Keep an eye on your inbox!
Roommate socials are a great way to meet others in your class year who are looking for roommates. Whether you're looking for 1 more roommate or a group of 3 to live with, join us on February 16th at 9:00pm. Below are the meeting rooms for each class year:
Class of 2018 - Meet in College Center 113
Class of 2017 - Meet in College Center 107
Class of 2016 - Meet in College Center 105
Please review the following to ensure your deposit is paid correctly:
Athletes – Students who receive full tuition and full housing grants do not need to make a deposit. SAS informs Student Life and Records that these students are allowed to participate in registration and housing selection. Students who receive a full tuition grant and no room grant must submit the $300 housing deposit to be eligible for room selection. The same applies for students who receive full housing grants but partial tuition grants. The $300 tuition deposit is required in order to register for classes.
Resident Assistants – All current RA's are required to pay the $300 tuition deposit in order to register for classes, but do not have the pay the $300 housing deposit. Any student applying to become an RA is required to pay both tuition and housing deposits.
Merit Based Scholars – Students receiving any form of merit based scholarship, whether privately funded or Loyola based, are required to pay both deposits if the student chooses to live on campus. Commuters are also required to pay the full $300 tuition deposit as these scholarships have requirements to be met each semester.
Tuition Remission – Like merit based scholarships, tuition remission is reviewed on a semester by semester basis. Any student receiving tuition remission, whether Loyola based or from an outside university or college, is required to pay the full appropriate deposit.
Returning from Abroad – All students currently studying at Loyola's abroad campuses or on one of Loyola's exchange and affiliation programs are required to pay both deposits if living on campus or tuition deposit if living off campus. We ask parents/guardians to make sure they pay the appropriate deposit on behalf of the student.
How much is the deposit and how do I pay it?
The total deposit due is $600 ($300 for housing and $300 for classes). The payment needs to be made to Student Administrative Services. The easiest way to pay is online at: http://www.loyola.edu/department/reenrollmentdeposit.aspx
Why do I have to pay a deposit for housing and a deposit for classes?
By separating the deposits for class and housing we are able to easily discern if you have committed to classes AND housing or just classes.
If I have an outstanding balance on my account do I have to pay it before I pay my deposit?
YES! All students are required to have their accounts paid before the deposit is put on your account.
I am worried about paying the deposit, should I just wait and pay late?
No! It is extremely important that if you are concerned about making the deposit that you speak to someone in Student Administrative Services BEFORE February 27, 2015. They will work with you, but you have to contact them BEFORE the deadline.
How are lottery times assigned?
Each student is randomly assigned a lottery number that is associated with a lottery time. Each group will receive an email that lets them know the groups best lottery time. Each group will have 15 minutes to log into the Housing Portal and select a room. 10 groups will be selecting at the same time.
I heard that there are ways to get a better lottery time, is that true?
No! Lottery times are completely random. Every year students suggest ways to alter the lottery, however a completely random process is the only way to ensure fairness.
I am the group leader but I have class during our allotted selection time, what do I do?
You can send an email to Megan Rowe and request that another member of your group be deemed the leader and they will select on behalf of your group.
This is your chance to see all of the housing options for next year. More information will be communicated via e-mail.
Do all housing options cost the same?
Your housing rate does depend on whether you are living in a suite or an apartment. For more information, keep an eye on Student Administrative Service's webpage for updated rates.
Which rooms on campus can I select if I'm in a group of 2 (or 4 or 6 or 8.)
A list of all of the rooms on campus separated by group size can be found here.
Room selection is done through an on-line process. Rising seniors will select on March 25. Rising juniors will select on April 7. Rising sophomores will select on April 15.
February 18

Eyeglasses - Contact Lenses - Eye Exams
Routine Eye Exams - Urgent Care Visits
Disease and Treatment: One of the key components in preserving your vision is a regular eye exam. Unfortunately some eye conditions, such as glaucoma, present absolutely no warning signs. During a routine eye exam, your doctor will check the pressures inside your eye as well as look for any damage which may be occurring in the retina. Other factors that can help prevent serious eye disease include protecting your eyes from the sun, monitoring your blood pressure, controlling your blood glucose levels, eating foods high in antioxidants and not smoking cigarettes.
Children: A frequently asked question we receive is "What age should my child have their first eye exam?". It comes as a surprise to many to hear that we suggest you have your child's eyes checked at six months of age. Although infants cannot talk, we can still determine their prescription, ensure their eyes are in proper alignment, and look for any early eye disease. Follow up examinations should occur at two years of age and again prior to beginning kindergarten. All children's eye services are covered by Alberta Health Care until their 19th birthday.
Lasik Surgery: Another commonly asked question we hear is "Am I a candidate for Lasik surgery or contact lenses?". Please see our section called Medical Services which outlines some of the considerations we need to address before making a decision.
All medical eye care is now covered through Alberta Health Care at our clinic regardless of your age. If you are having an eye problem please feel free to contact our office for more details on this program. This is the first step prior to specialist referral in Alberta.
Have a look at our section dedicated to Dry Eyes, we can help.

Cameroon has refuted allegations that some of the more than 200 missing Nigerian schoolgirls have been sold for marriage within its borders. Boko Haram's leader had vowed to sell the girls in the marketplace.
No other topic in recent years has generated such a heated debate in Cameroon as much as the activities of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram. The debate took on a new dimension when close to 300 girls were kidnapped from a school in northeastern Nigeria.
When the girls were kidnapped on April 14, some media reports suggested that some of them had been transferred to Cameroon and Chad.
There has been growing outrage over the missing schoolgirls
They were then being forced to marry Islamist extremists.
Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau warned in a video recording that he would sell the girls at the marketplace. Some sources in Nigeria said a bride price of $12 (9 euros) was all that one needed.
Plea not to marry girls
Muslims in Cameroon have been calling on their faithful not to marry any of these girls should they be offered to them. Muslim leader Nchotu Soule said anyone seen acting suspiciously with a girl should be reported to the authorities. "The prophet Mohammed insists that Islam is a religion of peace, Soule said. "Any true faithful of Islam will want to reject anything that comes from the Boko Haram," he addeed. "They are using our Muslim brothers here to be able to carry out their activities."
For some time now Cameroonian authorities have been warning that Boko Haram is keen on recruiting members from Cameroon. The situation worries many citizens such as Silas Mao, a university student in Yaounde.
Boko Haram attacks have forced an increasing number of Nigerians to seek refuge in Cameroon
He told DW very little is being done to stop Boko Haram. "If Cameroon and Nigeria decide, they can stop Boko Haram because I know that they are not more powerful than these states," Mao said. He also said he was sure the Islamist militant group had a base in Cameroon.
"If nothing is done we will find ourselves in a situation like the one in Arab states where such people dictate what is done," Mao warned.
False allegations
Cameroon's Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakari, told DW that he was shocked by accusations that Cameroon was not collaborating with Nigeria to free the girls from their captors. "We insist that allegations from Nigeria that a part of the 200 young female students recently kidnapped in the North East of Nigeria would have been transferred to Cameroon to be forced into marriage to members of the Boko Haram sect are fully unfounded," Tchiroma Bakari said.
"Cameroon will never ever serve as a support base for destabilization activities towards other countries," the minister said.
Tchiroma Bakari said Cameroon was a victim of what he called 'rather unfortunate and heinous crimes' in Nigeria. He vowed that his country would spare no effort in combating terrorism.
"Cameroon is subject to attacks perpetrated from neighboring countries and by nationals of those countries," Tchiroma Bakari complained. He stressed that the West Central African country was ready to cooperate with neighboring countries in the fight against transborder crime.
US intervention welcomed
Many Cameroonians have welcomed the news that the United States is to join in the hunt for the missing girls.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has warned of more attacks
Lukong Mildred, a businesswoman in the capital Yaounde, said it was about time for outside help to step in and boost the fight against Boko Haram. "I call on the international community to intervene in this issue because this is when we actually need the international community to come in."
Cameroon may have rebutted claims that the missing Nigeria schoolgirls are on its territory, but still has to contend with allegations that Boko Haram has been using the country's porous borders to traffic arms.
This week, suspected Boko Haram members attacked a Cameroonian army post in Kousseri on the border with Borno State and freed one of its leaders. Two people reportedly died in the attack. Four Cameroonians died in another attack at a local market in the Nigerian village of Gambourou, Borno state.
Almost 3,000 Nigerians have sought refuge in neighboring Cameroon as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency.

In 2007 Junior Nation went crazy when Dale Earnhardt Junior signed with Hendrick Motor Sports (HMS). Junior came out strong with HMS and even won a race and made the chase. But once in the chase things went down hill in a hurry and for the next 2 years Junior was a side show for TV and Media more than a contender to win races.
Now it's 2011 and Junior is a surprising 3rd in the points after 7 races and Junior Nation is going crazy once again, saying he is going to win X number of races this year and he's a contender for the Championship etc. etc. etc.
However, I have another theory as to why Junior is doing well this season and will probably make the chase but then start his slide once again. The theory is 2 fold so hold onto your hat.
Part 1 of the theory is that Junior's sales are going down. While Junior still outsells all other drivers he sales are slowing down, And for Rick this is not acceptable. Rick wants that extra money so he can win championships with JJ and Jeff. Also, as Junior sales decrease it means more winning drivers and controvisal drivers like Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and others are gaining in the popularity ranks which may take an advantage that HMS appears to have with NASCAR away.
Part 2 and the heart of the matter in my opinion is Junior is in the 4th year of his 5 year contract and Rick wants him to extend for at least 3 more years and hopefully 5 more years. Why, would he want this if he is not interested in Junior winning. Well, read Part 1 for that answer. Rick doesn't want another team to sign him and lose that 80 million plus a year that Junior brings to HMS. So in order to get Junior re-energized he gives him a new crew chief and a little better equipment and Junior does well, regains his faith in HMS and extends his contract making Rick Hendrick a very happy and Wealthier man. I'll even say as soon as Junior re-signs we will start to see the Junior of the last two years, starting to make endroads.
What is going to be hard for Junior fans to swallow is Junior will extend this year. Why? Because Rick want's to push that issue. Reason? Kasey Kahne is coming to HMS next season and when he does he will be the number 3 man at HMS and Junior will rate number 4 again.
What happens if Junior does win a race this season? Well, I would be happy for Junior and most of his fans. It would be good for NASCAR as it would re-energize a particular fan base that is only in it because of Junior and the sport could use a shot in the arm in that direction. However, if he wins like he did in Michigan, and I'm not talking fuel mileage as many a driver has won using that stratagy, but the fact that he broke the rules and NASCAR did nothing but give him a warning then I would have a hugh problem with that.
Anyway that is my rant as to why Junior is doing well so far this year. It's all about the Money period. Rick Loves it and he will bleed Junior dry getting it.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

15 Essential Braids -- And How to Do Them
Riding the braid wave? These 15 modern styles will be the perfect addition to your repertoire. And, with step-by-step braiding instructions from pros, you'll master them in no time
Best for: Any length, straight, or wavy hair
Before getting started, prep hair with heat protectant. (Try Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray, $4.79.) Then divide hair into four sections, curl them with a 1-inch curling iron and pin them up. Once hair cools, release, and brush it with a paddle brush. Then work dry shampoo through it with your fingers. Now, you're ready to style:
Step 1: Make a center part and divide hair into two equal sections. Tie an elastic around one section to keep it out of the way.
Step 2: On the loose side, French braid hair from the very top of your head to the nape of your neck.
Step 3: Once you reach the nape of your neck, do a fishtail braid and leave a few inches of hair unbraided at the ends. Secure with a clear elastic.
Step 4: Release hair on the other side and repeat.
Step 5: Using fingers, knead your hair lightly up top, pulling out a few pieces for a more carefree look.
Step 6: Comb any flyaways back with your fingers using hairspray or a de-frizzing cream.

I like braided hairstyles. They add such texture and femininity. I\'ve been using braided styles on my medium length hair as I grow it out, and am looking forward to more length to try more braid styles.

Ok I don't know but I'm freaked out. I have been trying to just put this out of my mind but I keep thinking about it. Not a real scary thing happened but none the less I'm still freaked. I need to first set up the situation. 18 years ago my daughter had cancer. The owner of the place I worked at told me I could take all the time I needed. Well, then I got a letter from I'll call her "Mary", she was my supervisor and a mean type at that. Well her letter said to return to work in 2 weeks or I will have lost my job. I couldn't my daughter was dying in the hospital and they all knew that. So, I called and of course threw a lot of "F" words. I quit! Well, fast forward to this past Dec. I had a dream with this supervisor Mary in it and work. And I can't remember all of it but it was weird like I was working there and was irritated. When I woke up I thought it was strange and didn't give it another thought and went back to bed. Next morning I vaguely remembered it and still don't. Just know that I dreamed about that job of 18 yrs ago. Well, then I went back home to see family (6hrs away) about 2 weeks later. My sister said "Hey, did anyone tell you? about two weeks ago Mary had died" My mouth fell open and I said no. She said I guess she died of cancer. My sister looked at me funny (because she could see the look on my face) and I told her I just dreamed about her 2 weeks ago. We both just stood there staring at each other and dropped it.
So, I don't know but it makes me feel uneasy I guess. Kind of hard to explain how I feel just don't know what to think or do about it. Still trying to forget this even happened. just so weird when I haven't even dreamed about that place since leaving. Maybe all coincidence right? Ok feel a little better about getting it off my chest.
I believe it's possible. Years ago, my husband dreamed that his nephew was deathly ill. He told me about it and we laughed to think that an apparently healthy 22 year old would be that ill, and forgot about it. Two months later, he told his parents that he had advanced melanoma, had known about it for a few months, but had not told them. We never told his parents about this spooky occurence, but we often talk about it ourselves.
------Impossible you say? Nothing is impossible when you work for the circus!
Let's make Better Mistakes Tomorrow
I have heard of a lot of experiences such as this. I neither believe or disbelieve. But, what a coincidence.
Let's just say she was sending you a message by this dream. Would it just be to remember her? Would it be she felt guilty about this all these years? Or at least when she became sick? I am trying to analyze the dream. Anyone out there know what could be the meaning?
And, if it wasn't her was it your ESP or something? Interesting.
I wonder what the heck does this mean. Did she really visit me? now I want to know what was said between us in my dream. Was it about my daughter and now her in the same situation? Just spooky I guess.
Yeah very interesting! When you say ESP I think of when I'm think of my DH and then the phone rings and its him. Weird too. If I didn't live in the ticks I would see one of those people that talk to the dead.
Oh, you are definitely not alone. My Mom was quite psychic this way and just sometimes knew things she could otherwise not possibly have known. I have it a little bit too. Sometimes I too just know that which I should have no knowledge of.
I am also certain I actually saw two spirits once people I did not know. I wasn't afraid in the moment but just thinking about it my hair stands on end. It was so real, yet at the time I knew they weren't real. I wasn't afraid at all and just knew they meant no harm. I could just feel it.
My take? Mary finally understood what you were going through and needed all those years ago. Her spirit or energy is what came to you. It may have been an apology, or asking for forgiveness, or just saying she understood.
I have come to believe that with some people we have such a profound emotional connection - good or bad - that we continue to receive or be connected with their energy/ spirit. . It is like their engergy/spriit becomes imprinted on our lives. I often dream about my first "love" in high school and my BFF. (They ended up together and I was fine with it.) Even though I haven't seen them in years, I still feel a connection with them. It's funny that I usually only dream about them when I am under a lot of stress. I find it kind of comforting.
-- Edited on 2/6/13 2:27 PM --
------Canadian Jane, now Jjane, much shorter and easier to use.
I would interpret it as her having, sadly, gained a full understanding of your family's pain and suffering and wishing she had been better able to be supportive and understanding when you most needed it.
I have had experiences...... If it was me I'd whisper to her that I was sorry that she had to find out so much and I'd thank her for letting me know that she now understood. And I'd say a prayer of peace for her and for her family.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
It's simply a coincidence, and that's all it is.
You had a disturbing experience experience with Mary during a highly emotionally charged time twenty years ago. For this reason, it's not surprising that your brain thinks of her from time to time and that she even pops up in your dreams occasionally. If you're like most people, you do not remember all or even most of your dreams. So, it's likely you have dreamed of Mary at least once and quite possibly several times before.
I sometimes dream about people I once worked with or knew long ago, and I strongly doubt any of them are dying or trying to send me messages from beyond the grave. This life is all there is. Once you die, you are dead.
------No sewing project is ever a complete success nor a total failure.
I don't believe in the supernatural, period. I would say that this was one of two things:
Co-incidence; after all, if they didn't happen we wouldn't need a word for them.
You did receive some sort of energy, brain-wave, whatever, but it has a scientific explanation, grounded in the laws of physics and perhaps chemistry, which is, at this point, not understood.
I firmly believe that at some point in humankind's future, provided we don't do ourselves out of existence before it happens, that all of those things which are thought to be "supernatural" will turn out to be quite natural, and obey the physical laws of the universe.
And I send you my condolences on the terrible loss you suffered.
I recently was helping a dear friend of mine to start sewing again...the whole time we were working, I kept seeing shadows out of the corner of my eye...I asked my friend if she was seeing them too, and it turns out that when she was a child, her mom would hover over her a bit while she sewed, to make sure she was right there to help her. I wasn't scared at all, but I called out "It's okay, I'll make sure she does a good job!" and there were no more shadows. We still kind of joke about that her mom was there to make sure she was paying attention and doing a good job!

Here's some sweet news for ice cream lovers: Ben & Jerry's yummy ice creams will soon all be fair trade sweetened and flavored!
The popular ice cream company first dipped into the fair trade movement back in 2005, when it started using fair trade coffee, chocolate and vanilla for some of its flavors — ensuring that the producers of those ingredients got a fairer share of the profits from the ice cream. At that time, Ben & Jerry's foray into fair trade was met with both joy from eco-ethical ice cream lovers — and skepticism from fair trade activists. Why the negativity? Ben & Jerry's kept on using conventional sugar instead of fair trade certified sugar in the ice creams awarded the fair trade logo — even though a lot more sugar went into the ice creams than the fair trade certified cocoa, coffee or vanilla.
Apparently, Ben & Jerry listened to those concerns and is now ready to make a complete switch. Not only is Ben & Jerry's going to use fair trade sugar in all its ice creams — making pretty much every single flavor eligible for fair trade certification — the company is going to switch away from conventional products for all ingredients available with fair trade certification.
That means 11 ingredients in Ben & Jerry's products — from sugar to coffee to banana to some nuts — will be fair trade certified. The switch to fair trade will be complete by the end of 2013.
As for the other major ingredients: Ben & Jerry's shuns milk from cows shot up with rBGH, and plans to make a complete switch to certified humane cage-free farms eggs by the end of 2010 — both great eco-strides.
I'm still a bit sad, though, that Ben & Jerry has discontinued the four organic flavors it debuted in 2008. According to a customer service representative, the flavors didn't sell — but I'm holding out hope that Ben and Jerry's will decide to give organic flavors a try again, as the green market keeps growing.
