Apps for the visually impaired
Article By: Hadlee SimonsThu, 08 Mar 2012 5:17 PM
Technology has made life easier for countless scores of people, whether it's for research, communication or entertainment.
But visually impaired people have seemingly been left behind when it comes to tech, however, there are plenty of neat applications and features on hand.
This unique application uses the iPhone's camera to read out text on documents, menus and other forms, with users simply swiping to the right to hear the text being read.
The application works well enough, and is available for free from Apple's App Store, so what do you have to lose?
The default assistant for Apple's iOS platform is a pretty nifty piece of kit, delivering text-to-speech navigation for the iPhone, iPod and iPad.
Users simply activate the feature from the Accessibility menu in settings. Once that's completed, you can single tap on an item to have its description read to you, and then double tap to select it. Need to scroll? Then simply use a three-finger gesture.
This unique Android app reads your PDFs and DOC files out loud, making it a great tool for visually impaired office workers and the like.
Another neat feature is its ability to read webpages, with users simply pressing menu and then share from their browser.
Color ID Free
Another nifty application for the iPhone and Android platforms, Color ID Free identifies colours out loud, with even slight changes being detected.
The app could come in handy for checking the weather, whether the food is cooked or anything else.
My Blind Tunes
On the surface, this application doesn't look like anything special, being a music player, but My Blind Tunes has plenty of great features for the visually impaired.
The Android app lets users search media, enter commands and play music using the power of your voice alone, making it a great tool for drivers and the visually impaired alike.
This neat Android application speaks the address of nearby locations and streets as you pass them, making for a useful navigation tool.
Users can also receive walking directions, making it a great alternative to Google's default application.
Voice Wiki
This simple Android application reads out Wikipedia articles paragraph by paragraph, making for a convenient way to get your dose of the world's most popular encyclopaedia.
The app works simply enough, with users hitting the microphone button and speaking their search term. And if the term brings up a disambiguation screen, the application will read the possible entries as well.
Vlingo Assistant
One of the more popular apps out there, Vlingo is marketed as a personal assistant of sorts, letting you do plenty of tasks using your voice.
Available on the BlackBerry, iPhone and Android app markets, this nifty mini-program is more accurate than many competitors.
Tweet Speaker
One of the more original Twitter clients out there, Tweet Speaker for iOS does exactly what you think, reading tweets out loud.
Tweet Speaker's user-friendly layout and smart execution makes it well worth a download, especially at the bargain price of $0.99.

CCS – II. Repertoire REP 4852. German release. NEW CD , this was sealed (I picked this up in a trade), but the corner of the cellophane had been peeled back for placement of a price sticker directly on the cover (it has been removed [not by me] leaving a small trace, only noticable if you catch it at angle under light) and subsequently the shrink wrap disintigrated. It has been removed and placed in a clear Japanese style resealable outer sleeve. Originally issued in 1972. This edition issued in 2000 with 8-page insert booklet. Comes in digi-pak. Produced by Micki Most. TRACKS: Brother, Black Dog, I Want You Back, Running Out Of Sky (Sky Diver), Whole Lotta Rock 'N' Roll, Chaos Can't We Ever Get It Back, This Is My Life, Misunderstood, Maggie's Song, and City. BONUS TRACKS, non album singles tracks, 72 : Mister What You Can't Have and Sixteen Tons. DESCRIPTION: CCS was the brainchild of producer Mickie Most and arranger/composer John Cameron. Contrary to leader Alexix Korner's tongue in cheek comment during a radio interview (see end of description*), CCS stood for Collective Consciousness Society. The principal members of this rock-group-meets-big-band experiment, not that unlike Ginger Baker's Airforce of the time, were none other than Alexis Korner, known as the "Father of British Blues" and Danish singer Peter Thorup. The rest of the rock group was rounded out with seasoned session players such as Alan Parker (guitar), Herbie Flowers (bass), Barry Morgan and Tony Carr (drums). On the big band side, the musicians included Spike Heatley (string bass) Harry Beckett, Henry Lowther, Kenny Wheeler, Les Condon, Tony Fisher and Greg Bowen (trumpets), Don Lusher, John Marshall, Brian Perrin and Bill Geldard (trombones), Neil Sanders (French horn) Ronnie Ross (baritone sax), Danny Moss (tenor sax), Ray Warleigh and Harold McNair (flute), Tony Coe, Pete King, Bob Efford (woodwind), and Bill le Sage and Jim Lawless (percussion). Korner had been working on the Continent with Thorup in a band called New Church , and getting rave reviews. However, New Church had been prevented from playing in Britain . As The Bedford Recorder revealed, "The reason why British people don't get a chance to hear them is simple. Peter Thorup is Danish and various authorities, including those fearless champions of middle-aged second trombonists, the Musicians' Union , will not let him live and work in Britain ." They very quickly had a hit with their big band reworking of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love , which is instantly familiar to a whole generation of Top Of The Tops viewers, as it was the theme song of the show for most of the seventies. Further hits followed, and their first album, imaginatively titled CCS , was an ecclectic mix of self-penned songs and cover versions such as the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and the classic John Lee Hooker track Boom Boom , all given a new spin. CCSII was the second recording by the loose collection of session musicians Alexis Korner gathered together for his rock/big band fusion experiment. Highlights are the duets by gravel-throated Korner and brilliant Danish vocalist Peter Thorup, as well as the tight bass work of Herbie Flowers, later to find fame in Sky. The songs range from brassy rock'n'roll reworkings of fifties classics to more Led Zeppelin covers ( Black Dog and a throw back to the first album, with a variation on a theme, Whole Lotta Rock 'N' Roll ), and some powerful songs written by Korner, Thorup and arranger John Cameron. There were only ever two live performances by this group, unsurprising given the number of players involved, and the fact that CCS was primarily a studio band. The first was at Ronnie Scott's, where they reportedly blew all the fuses while playing a benefit for the family of flautist Harold McNair. The second was at the Royal Albert Hall. By all accounts, the performance was a triumph (and pictures of the band in action can be seen on the CCS II album cover, including John Cameron in his famous pink shirt, and Peter Thorup in his equally notorious tight leather trousers)....

For some reason, you never see Cornish hens in restaurants anymore. Too bad, because this recipe, stuffing the birds with matzo and chicken livers and serving them with chicken jus (a brown chicken stock reduced to a glaze consistency), is a winner.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the bones in a roasting pan and drizzle with the oil. Roast, stirring several times so they cook evenly, until the bones turn light golden-brown—30 to 40 minutes total. Leaving the oven on, transfer the bones to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and wipe the pan dry. Return the roasted bones to the pan; add the celery, onions, carrots, garlic, thyme, and peppercorns. Pour in the wine and stir in the tomato paste and salt. If appropriate, add water to cover. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 4 hours, adding water as necessary to keep the bones covered.
Pour the liquid from the pan through a mesh strainer into a small saucepan; discard the bones. Bring the liquid to boiling over medium heat and boil gently until it is reduced to 2-1/2 cups, skimming off any impurities. Transfer the jus to a storage container.
To clean the livers, use the tip of a sharp paring knife to remove the sinew that runs into the meat and trim off any yellow spots or unevenly colored areas. Rinse the livers under cold running water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Coarsely chop the livers into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and garlic, cook for 2 minutes; lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the vegetables are translucent and begin to soften—6 to 8 minutes. Add the livers, sage, salt, and pepper; sauté until the livers are cooked—about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place the crushed matzos in a medium bowl; add the liver mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon. Taste the stuffing and add more salt or pepper if you wish
Trim any excess fat from the hens; wash them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Mix the carrots, celery, and onions in the bottom of a roasting pan large enough to hold all 4 hens.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Loosely fill the cavity of each hen with stuffing. Drizzle 1-1/2 tsp. oil over each hen and rub into skin. Sprinkle each hen with salt and pepper. Truss the hens with twine (tie the legs together, tuck the wings under the backs). Place the hens, breast up, in the roasting pan, on the bed of chopped vegetables. Dot each with the butter, dividing equally. (If there is extra stuffing, place it in an appropriate size casserole or ramekin; add it to the oven with the hens about halfway through the roasting time.)
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 10 minutes, lower the heat to 325°F. Roast for 40 minutes more, until done (the internal temperature of the thigh should register 160° on an instant read thermometer), checking from time to time that the hens are browning evenly and rotating the pan 180 degrees about halfway through the cooking time.
Transfer the hens to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Transfer the vegetables and pan juices to a small saucepan and add 1 cup of the roasted chicken jus. Bring to simmering over medium heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into another pan or serving pitcher; discard the solids and keep the sauce warm.
Slice the thighs, legs, and breast meat from each hen—as you would when carving a turkey. Carefully spoon the stuffing from inside each hen and place on individual plates. Arrange the meat from one hen on top of the stuffing on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve.
You can make the roasted chicken jus several days ahead; store, covered in the refrigerator.
Serve with braised cabbage.
You'll have about 1-1/2 cups of roasted chicken jus leftover. It will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.

text: November 15, 2013 - While national borders are no longer barriers to trade, travel and communication, Pope Francis said, new walls are being erected in the form of inequality, discrimination and the violation of basic human rights. In the age of globalization and of global crises, the world needs a new form of diplomacy and diplomats capable of building a global sense of community, the pope wrote in the preface to a new book about Vatican diplomacy. The Italian-language book, "Pontifical Diplomacy in a Globalized World," features a collection of speeches, messages and essays written by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who ended a seven-year term as Vatican secretary of state Oct. 15. The new secretary of state, Archbishop Pietro Parolin, was scheduled to take up his post Nov. 15 after spending a month recovering from surgery. In the preface, Pope Francis noted that the 'calm and mature experiences' of Cardinal Bertone as a servant of the Church helped him, too, after he was elected Pope. Vatican diplomacy, the Pope said, is unique because it combines a high level of foreign relations expertise with pastoral service, which is why Vatican ambassadors are archbishops. Repeating his belief that the global financial crisis was spawned by a "profound crisis of convictions, values and ideals," Pope Francis said diplomats have an opportunity to renew their art by bringing values back to international relations. The goal, he said, is "to move the human family toward a future that doesn't just speak the language of peace and development, but is able concretely to include everyone, ensuring no one is left on the margins." "A renewed diplomacy means new diplomats," who are able to promote a sense of community on an international level, he said, "breaking the logic of individualism, unfair competition and a desire to dominate, promoting instead an ethic of solidarity able to replace the logic of power, which has become a mode of thinking to justify the use of force." Vatican diplomacy can help, he said, because it "works to renew the moral dimension in international relations, that which allows the human family to live and develop together without becoming enemies of one another." Pope Francis said "the most important right of a people or an individual" is being able to realize one's aspirations "effectively and completely." "It is not enough to avoid injustice, if one does not promote justice," he said. "It's not enough to protect children from being abandoned, abused and maltreated if you don't educate the young to love human existence in all its different phases, if you don't give families all the resources they need to fulfill their irreplaceable mission and if you don't promote, throughout society, an attitude of welcoming and loving the life of each one of its members."

John Shook was a 19 year old Illinois farm boy who volunteered to fight for the Northern cause in 1861. He wrote more than 40 letters home before being fatally wounded in the Battle of Stones River, Tennessee. His letters have been lovingly preserved by his family for over 145 years. The letters and envelopes contain historic and remarkable print art that is beautifully rendered in this book. The Shook letters are by turns patriotic and jingoistic, humorous and sad, and curious about friends and family back home. Written in the quaint country vernacular of the time without punctuation or capitalization, the book makes for fascinating ...and challenging... reading
Alfred Marion Chard was raised in Audubon, Iowa, in the dust bowl years. He graduated from the State University of Iowa and the US Navy Midshipman's School at Columbia University in 1943. After the war he was a business executive in the manufacturing industry. He is now retired and working on his second book.

Karen41 says
wow, this is a very interesting book---I used to live in Murfreesboro, Tn and used to visit the Stones River Battlefield and cemetary frequently --Was John Shook buried in this cemetary, or was he brought back home to Illinois?
Coincidentally, my great-great-grandfather fought on the Confederate side and his last battle was at Stones River as well because he broke his leg there and went home for a while to recover and by that time, the war was over.
Nice book

Teens & Pre-teens Lying
Berkeley Parents Network > Advice > Teens, Preteens, & Young Adults > Teens & Pre-teens Lying
|Related Pages
Hi, My step-daughter, 14, has developed a serious lying habit. ( she lives with us full time) It has been a long standing issue with her, but lately it seems to be that she is lying about anything and almost everything. She lies about big stuff...money that missing, who she is meeting to hang out with on Shattuck etc...and about stupid stuff that she get is trouble over only because it is a lie. She will walk away from us after having asked to do something, like call a friend, and if we have said no ( because of being grounded) she sneaks the call anyway. Then finds herself grounded for longer, or losing a planned activity over a seemingly small infraction. But because they come in such close progression and so often we end up extending her consequences. We need some more ideas about how to deal in the moment with her, and in the long term. We tend to just ground her...which in turn im sure makes her feel like she has to lie more, because she ends up being so restricted.
She is in general a good kid, but gets on these downward spirals more and more these days. She has some transitions lately.....started high school, new siblings, new step-father.But, her home life with her father and i has been stable since she was 4.
We are tired of grounding her, and of her behavior, and she is tired of being grounded. We have pretty open lines of communication about it....when she has ''snapped out of it'' she can talk with us about it and yet she just cant change her behavior in the moment. So, is this some sort of new developmental phase? Is she becoming a pathological lier? Is our plan of responding to every lie, no matter how small, making it worse, or helping to curb it in the long run? She thinks that because she in not having sex or using drugs her behavior is not that bad....even the lying. We feel that it is just a matter of time, that if she is lying about things now, she will be lying about sex and drugs soon enough. Any advice welcomed...and any recommendation for family therapists also welcome. worried step mom
In your case, the teen needs to be crystal clear why it is so appealing to lie and you need to find a way together how the teen can get this appealing feeling in even more quantities in a more productive way with nothing but good feedback. Otherwise, what's the incentive to change? Anonymous
It all came to a head when she let out to her teacher at school she had been molested years earlier by her bio mom's dad and had been told by her biomom mot to tell anyone. It was a sticky web of lies that her mom had created and even she tried to lie to authorities. A few years later our SD got involved with a much older man and we had him arrested (we had no clue - you would be surprised how much they can cover up). Because she was a victim of crime we got a referral to Clearwater Counseling in Oakland. They were phenomenal. They deal very well with teens and parents and looked into some borderline personality disorders (look it up, you may see some traits you recognize). We don't think my SD has it but that her mom does and she was picking up on it. The have some groups that deal very specifically with the lying, manipulation, attention getting behaviors and were so caring and helpful. She was able to see more clearly why she lied and how to control the urge to do so. I can't recommend it enough. Demi and Rachel were great. I was at the end of my rope I can't tell you how that kind of behavior can destroy family relationships and Clearwater intervened and saved our family. If you have more questions feel free to message me directly.
My child is nearly 12. She's been lying a lot over the past 6 months, mostly around issues of schoolwork and misplaced or damaged items (primarily clothing). I've always followed the general advice to make clear that consequences for lying will be more serious than for the mistake or wrongdoing at issue. In other words, I didn't want her to be so afraid of the punishment that she'd lie to avoid it. There's never been any corporal punishment; consquences have revolved around TV-watching restrictions. Only about a month ago did I start curtailing playdates and overnights with friends.
I've talked to her about each incident, why she lied instead of telling the truth (''I don't know'' is the most consistent response) and she always promises not to lie any more. That lasts until the next thing (sometimes only days later). I am at a loss to know what to do.
I feel I should add that I feel that at some point my daughter has to learn to deal with the consequences of actions -- that sometimes in life people will get angry at her for something she's done or not done. The consequences of mistakes or forgetting do get more serious. A future employer, for example, isn't going to worry about scaring her if he or she is angry because she's missed a deadline or lost a key document.
I'd appreciate suggestions on how to handle both the lying and guiding my daughter in learning to deal with... well, frankly, life. Worried Mom
We're catching our daughter, a 6th grader, lying a lot lately. Mostly, she's lying to try to avoid getting in trouble for something she's done that she knows is wrong or about homework. What's been a little disturbing, is how easily she does it. She doesn't seem to think twice about it-- there is no hesitation. We've done some reflecting about how we might be contributing to the problem and over the last several weeks have tried to make sure we don't overreact to issues, one of the ways we thought we might be contributing to it. Rather than get better, it only got worse. We think we're catching her most of the time, but who knows. Any ideas? I'd love to hear from parents who found things that worked. Oakland parent
Lying can become second-nature, and it's not a healthy habit to develop. Try to talk with your daughter about how it makes her feel to lie, and how it would be different if she could be honest. Ask her what would help her be comfortable being honest with you.
My parents tried the approach of making me ''earn back'' their trust. I think that backfired somewhat, I just felt on the defensive all the time. Only an environment of trust will foster a child's honesty, and you will need to find a way to punish her for specific lies (however you do that) without resorting to calling her a ''liar'' or telling her that you don't believe anything she says anon

What Are the Negative Consequences of Progress Probation?
- After enrolling in a course twice and not passing (including Ws), you are blocked for ALL future attempts to register for that course
- Student loses money – $46 per unit is about $138 per course – and even more if you bought the book(s)
- College loses money – less state reimbursement (our income is based on enrollment)
- Unfair to students who need to enroll in those courses, especially necessary courses like math and english
- May affect transfer admissions to competitive schools
- Slows down your progress toward goals

So our headlines stink
A reader castigates us for lazily violating the principles of headline writing:
Your headlines repeatedly use forms of the verb "to be".
For example, a headline on the homepage of the website right now reads, "Two men are slain in shooting at city carryout".
As I'm sure your copy editors understand, this is a newspaper no-no because:
1) It slows down the reader;
2) It takes up precious headline space;
3) It's just plain not classy; and most importantly
4) It undermines the credibility of the reporter and, ultimately, the newspaper.
If your editors are having difficulty writing long-enough headlines, they find a solution that avoids the lazy decision of using a "to be" filler.
As the reader evidently knows, the conventions of traditional headline writing include omitting forms of to be as auxiliary verbs to save space. Using a comma in place of and is another; so is the omission of the definite and indefinite articles. These practices, instituted to save space, contribute to the clipped, elliptical style of the traditional headline.
What the reader is apparently not aware of is the trend in recent years toward more conversational headline language, wherever space permits, because the traditional headline language looks increasingly dated. In fact, despite Article 1 of the reader's bill of impeachment above, it is the elliptical language that can slow down readers, forcing them to read a headline more than once to gather the sense of it.
At the national conferences of the American Copy Editors Society, workshops by the estimable Alex Cruden, former head of the Detroit Free Press copy desk, have invited civilians — ordinary readers — to comment on representative headlines, revealing that the reader often does not quickly grasp what the headline writer has intended. These readers prize plain language and clarity.
Article 2 insists that using auxiliary verbs is not "classy." How use of the language as it is idiomatically spoken and written lacks "class" eludes me. And Article 4, that headline language the reader can understand undermines the credibility of the publication, I find completely baffling.
Colleagues, readers, what do you make of this bill of particulars?

House Crashers and EnvironmentalLights.com Transform Fourth Home Renovation Togethercomments (0) January 17th, 2012 in Project Gallery
EnvironmentalLights.com featured in its fourth episode of House Crashers, a hit TV show on the DIY Network
EnvironmentalLights.com, a leading source for high-quality, energy-efficient LED lighting products, will be featured in its fourth episode of House Crashers, a hit TV show on the DIY Network. Their dimmable LED strip lighting and LED under cabinet light systems have proven to be a contractor and homeowner favorite.
"We really enjoy working with the House Crashers team to design LED lighting systems to fit their home renovations," said co-founder and vice president of EnvironmentalLights.com, Anne Thorson. "It has been so rewarding to work with them and see the beautiful results, and we hope that this partnership continues for a long time."
To view all House Crashers episodes featuring EnvironmentalLights.com, visit their YouTube Channel at: http://www.youtube.com/environmentallights.
The House Crashers team, led by host and licensed contractor Josh Temple, traveled to Cleveland find a homeowner shopping for do-it-yourself projects. When he found a shopper willing to take him home, Josh brought in his team of experts to create a dramatic renovation as seen in episode "Cleveland Wine Bar Basement."
"We were so surprised when the House Crashers crew approached us at the store," said Drew, homeowner from Cleveland remodel. "The whole experience was incredibly fun and we had a great time working with the team. It was a lot of hard work, but Josh helped to lighten the mood and keep everyone in good spirits. It was a blast."
In true House Crasher fashion, the crew worked tirelessly to transform the homeowner's dark and dingy basement into a one-of-a-kind wine bar and hangout space for adults. The design features under-stair wine storage, copper topped bars and a fireplace surrounded by laser-cut steel wall panels lit up from behind with LED strip lighting. Temple chose to install the dimmable LED strip lighting because of its flexibility, high brightness and easy installation. In this installation he chose the color "daylight white," but other color options are available including warm white, red, green, blue, amber, and color-changing.
"It was so thrilling working along-side House Crashers and our family and friends," explained Drew. "The reveal was the best part when we actually saw it all come together. And when the lights came on it really transformed our basement."
In order to control the brightness of the LED lighting, the House Crashers team installed a Leviton Magnetic Dimmer and 240 Watt 12 VDC dimming power supply, as recommended by EnvironmentalLights.com. This system offers the homeowner the flexibility to control the lighting and atmosphere of the space. It also ensures that the proper voltage is provided to the LEDs and they are not overdriven due to repeated excess current – which would damage the LEDs and shorten the life of the system.
"The LED lights really set the mood downstairs when we have guests over," said Drew. "The wall feature is really striking, and we can easily dim the lights to create a lounge-like feel in the room."
LEDs are one of today's most energy-efficient and rapidly changing technologies. Contractors as well as interior designers recommend updating residential and commercial properties with upgraded lighting not only for cost-savings, but for the effects that LED lighting can have on a space. EnvironmentalLights.com has tested and documented a variety of lighting systems, and can recommend and design the ideal system for any property.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - Wyoming football coach Dave Christensen has been fined $50,000 and suspended for one week for his profanity laced outburst directed toward Air Force coach Troy Calhoun.
The fine and suspension come from the University of Wyoming.
Christensen alleged that Air Force had faked an injury with quarterback Connor Dietz which allowed the Falcons to have more time to prepare the next play without using a timeout. The ensuing play was a go-ahead touchdown run by backup quarterback Kale Pearson.
When Christensen and Calhoun met on the field for the post-game handshake, Christensen was seen on television shouting in the face of Calhoun. A low angle video of the tirade has since gone viral on the internet.
The Mountain West Conference publicly reprimanded Christensen for what he said in a post-game press conference as well as his conduct on the field. In that press conference Christensen questioned Air Force's ethics.
Christensen will not rejoin the Cowboys football program until Monday, October 29.

Design Education: Learning, Teaching and Researching Through Design
- December 2011
- 226 Pages
- Ashgate Publishing
Embracing the richness, complexity and possibilities of learning and teaching in design, "Design Education" takes the vantage point of the 'outsider' and explores what makes design so compulsively fascinating for those who teach and study it. Through more than 40 projects, from design students' use of archives and museum collections to the potential of specific technologies to enhance teaching and learning, from architecture and 3D design to fashion, Philippa Lyon explores aspects of learning and teaching in higher education design subjects. Taking an ethnographic approach and using data from interviews, discussions and observations, the book also examines issues such as the experience of design teacher–practitioners entering the world of learning and teaching research for the first time.
"Design Education" encapsulates and analyzes the research findings facilitated by the UK-based Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning Through Design. It delves into many pedagogical terms and assumptions and guides the reader through them, examining the way relevant key concepts in design are articulated. It will be useful to teachers and students of design subjects, learning and interpretation staff in museums, pedagogical researchers, other centres for excellence in teaching and learning (particularly those which are art and design-related), independent design practitioners and managers of art and design provision in the public and private sector.
'This book makes a unique and valuable contribution to our knowledge of design education in universities and museums. It is the first book-length study of a singular learning and teaching initiative, exploring the experiences of a remarkable group of curators, researchers, students and lecturers who set out to investigate the way in which we learn about and from design in our museums and universities. The book captures the way these inquiries have questioned, challenged and extended our understanding of how design education is shaped - and how it might evolve and anticipate the needs of the future.'

Lil B "The Based God" - Illusions of Grandeur (2010)
"The most prolific mixtape in hip hop ever to come out" - Lil B
Most people know Lil B for his songs like Wonton Soup, Ellen Degeneres, and Pretty Bitch but he actually has a rather large amount of styles. The Illusions of Grandeur mixtape is one of his more serious tapes. You won't find any cooking music on here. That's not to say this tape is a display of skillful rapping and lyricism. Lil B has stated numerous times that he doesn't give a fuck and he just wants to get his message across. Some times he just doesn't even attempt to rap. How I Feel is just an incoherent rant about whether he's an 80's kid or a 90's kid since he was born in 89 but his childhood was in the 90's. Most of his lyrics on this tape as well as several others he did deal with being positive and and the problems with hood mentality. Lil B's rapping style in unorthodox and wouldn't typically be seen as good by most rap fans. He says in the track Based 4 Ya Face "I just talk, you connect the dots", that pretty much sums up his style. If your looking for some swagged out cooking songs this tape isn't for you, this is some serious emotional shit. #Based4life
Thank You Based God

A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step (2003)
This is such an amazing album. Those of you who are familiar with the awesomeness that is known as Tool should know of A Perfect Circle. If not, then Maynard is the singer of APC. APC is not as heavy as Tool in any sense, but has such an amazing sound nonetheless. Thirteenth Step is a great step after the first album Mer De Noms. Most bands take a few albums to get to their maturity, but APC showed it in their second album. This is seriously one of the best albums that came out in the first decade of the 2000s.
Tracks to check out:
The Outsider
The Nurse Who Loved Me
I find it weird that this album came up for me. I really didn't want to hear APC for a while because I saw them with a girl that meant everything to me and we just ended. This was our band to enjoy together. hmmm

Play offers laughs for adult audiences
Thursday, April 28, 2011
Rob Crouse knows theater fans might not be familiar with the name of the Capital City Players' new show, "Sexual Perversity in Chicago."
That's why he is glad they can have the 1986 film "About Last Night" with which they can identify.
Both the play and the film depict the lives of four friends, Danny, Debbie, Bernie and Joan, as they try to navigate the perils of relationships and, in some cases, break-ups in the 1980s.
The show will run this week from Thursday through Sunday and again May 5-8.

what; original story, interlude [A hundred lives].
character; unnamed character {Hanel} & secondary character {Nakir}.
summary; being human is just too hard, she thinks.
warnings; change of POV.
--- x x x X X X x x x ---
When had she harbored that thought?
For that whole day, Nakir had sat in an open field, allowing her body to hold just the barest hint of reality as to allow rays of sunlight to touch her. She had not moved, had not breathed. Instead, her eyes continued facing forward, lost in whatever pattern of thought which would assault her mind. It had been a need for that closure, a need that had been almost physical and she did not understand.
She was not supposed to try. And she still did, was not it a sign that something was deeply wrong with her?
Nakir had had thoughts in the past years. Thoughts about freedom, about safety, about fairness and judgment. It was truly ridiculous. Where had they come from? For whatever purpose? Her kind had never been supposed to hold something as meaningless as questions. Such was reserved for luckier beings, the ones loved by the Father, the ones guided and yet left to themselves. The ones who held answers and the ability to search when they did not.
She was not human. She was not. Nakir had always known her purpose in life, her calling and destiny. Things like her were made solely for that single task and yet, why did she fail so horribly?
If she were human, she would have screamed in anger. She was not, she did not hold the ability to voice feelings or even to feel them.
It was a cycle, like everything else was. And Nakir knew herself to be strapped tight into it, being foolish enough to try searching for an answer for which there was no correct question. Was this something humans faced daily? If so, her respect went to each and every soul, even to her wayward fool who was probably still searching for her.
Which brought her right back to the reason for her stress, for each worry.
When Hanel had been convicted, Nakir had waited no moment to think about the reason. She was no judge. She was the one who came when the doors were closed and the veredict was said, ready to take that soul to the world bellow them, to teach all the lessons it had disregarded in that first life. But the problem was
when had she started to think it was unfair? When had she started to think it was too much? It was wrong? It was a torture, slow and painful and
For the first time in those twenty four hours, the Executioner turned, allowed the world outside to bash into her consciousness due to a man's voice. A young boy's, he was just a boy again and again.
The small human ran to her side, dark hair spilling over his eyes, hiding them carefully as he fought to regain the breath lost in his mad run. And he stopped, when it became slow and even, his eyes searched for hers and was that admonishment she saw?
"I was searching for you! I didn't see you since yesterday and you never do that! What's wrong with you anyway, letting me worry all the time?!"
Worry? Why would this little thing, this fragile creature worry over his own murderer? It made little to no sense to her, just as her questions earlier had not. But he still talked, scolded her loudly like he had every right to do so. He didn't, he was no one to her. No, that wasn't right, it was supposed to be the other way around. She was the invisible one, she was no one to him, dearest Father, she had never been so confused in her long existence.
And then small arms were around her neck hugging tightly, a hand was on her hair, going up and down, up and down, up and down, again and again while there was that something pushing something else against the wall of her ribs. She wanted
Nakir wasn't sure what she wanted because she should had never nodded those three times, those three which had made her a prisoner just as he was.
"Don't cry, Nakir." It was his voice somewhere above her, his form towering over her knelt one. "You don't need to cry. It's okay. Everything will be okay."
That.. humans called that comfort, didn't they? But she didn't cry, he had no reason to try and do
"Tomorrow, we'll wake up and things will make sense, right? Twenty years and then we'll change and still be the same. That makes sense. That's constant, that's something that never changes. So don't cry. I'm here."
She wasn't crying. Her kind could not cry. She was
just confused, a little lost with no guide to take her hand. That was all.
Slowly, one of her hands moved to grasp wool beneath her fingers, held until she could feel each fragment of the tissue biting into her skin. For the first time, the very first time since she knew herself, she was reaching out. He had offered. He had offered and she was holding onto it because humans did that.
She was not a human.
"Tomorrow, we will be okay," he whispered again. "It's alright."
But she still believed.

Oh, Rey. I do hope you feel inspired to finish this. It's so original and intriguing, and a perfect vehicle for your lovely haunting style. I'm not exaggerating when I say this put me in mind of Neil Gaiman's work - that same lyrical, haunting beauty of concept and prose. I can't begin to praise it enough.
Okay so. I read this and stared and stared some more. First, I never thought it'd look interesting to someone outside my head. But then you compared it to one of my favorite authors and I melted into a puddle of goo. Thank you so much ;.;
You better finish this. I really enjoyed it. I like how with limited text I was still able to connect with the characters and get a feel for their emotions. This is great

Seriously? I had this whole thing in my head but I ended up losing interest and turning it into a very short story. I'll see if I can finish up some time. I do know how to do it. Glad you liked it though
I do. It didn't take me long to get attached. It is also a really interesting concept over all. I quite enjoy it. This is the kind of stuff you read in school and have to analyze.. except.. its actually interesting o_o

Mexico travel warnings after US citizen killed
PHOENIX (AP) — The U.S. Consulate General in Nogales, Mexico, has reissued travel warnings after an American citizen was murdered there last weekend.
Citing multiple and ongoing credible threats, the Consulate General on Tuesday repeated warnings against unnecessary travel in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico and surrounding areas.
The Consulate first issued a public caution on May 25, one day before a Tucson man was murdered in Nogales.
A spokeswoman said the U.S. Department of State was aware of the death of an American citizen in Mexico over the weekend and said officials were working with Mexican authorities on the case. Mexican media have identified the man as 25-year-old Jorge Luis Soto of Tucson.
Soto was one of five people murdered in a particularly violent weekend in Nogales.

There is certainly nothing offensive about this fragrance. It is super light on me, disappears in about 30 minutes unless you have the fragrance right under your nose. The bottle is very dramatic, but I am not sure I can keep up spraying every hour.

Comments about Natori By Natori:
I had never smelled this perfume before, which is the very reason why I ordered it. At first spray its a woody, floral strong whiff. After about ten minutes it dries to a plumish aroma with a woody top note. I love it! Im not one to wear perfumes that everyone else wears. I cringe when I hear someone say are you wearing (a brand of perfume).? I like people to come to me and say. oh.. what kind of perfume are you wearing?? Thankyou Fragrancex for having this beautiful perfume.

Reach Media Group and Blue Bite Deploy First Ever NFC enabled Digital-Out-of-Home Network in the U.S. Sponsored by Hotels.com and The New York Times
SAN FRANCISCO – April 28, 2011 – During today's keynote at Customer Engagement Technology World (CETW), RMG Networks and Blue Bite announced the deployment of NFC (Near-Field-Communication) technology across RMG's San Francisco network locations. The move is the first part of a long-term strategy to bring this interactive mobile medium to RMG's entire network footprint of 75,000 digital-out-of-home (DOOH) screens over the next 6 months. The platform, branded mTAG™, will facilitate a variety of interactions between brands and consumers by leveraging DOOH screens in venues to drive user action on their mobile devices. Powered by NFC and QR Codes, mTAG™ will enable the delivery of rich content, drive mobile application downloads, transmit coupons and offers, facilitate purchases and participation in rewards/loyalty programs.
As part of the initial rollout, Hotels.com and The New York Times have signed on as inaugural sponsors and are launching campaigns that deliver exclusive mobile content and drive downloads of their smartphone applications. Users will see branded content for Hotels.com and The New York Times on the RMG Displays with a call-to-action instructing them to "Tap or Scan" the nearby mTAG™ placard installed at or near the point of sale. Once the users touch their phone to the NFC enabled mTAG™, location-specific content will automatically be displayed on their mobile device via Blue Bite's proprietary content delivery and management system. Users will also have the ability to bookmark specific mTAGs™ to view content and offers at their favorite locations in the future. For those not yet familiar with NFC technology, the same content will be available via a QR Code.
"Mobile devices have become an ever-present component of our daily lives, and marketers around the world have been searching for innovative ways to use these devices to engage consumers in contextually relevant environments. The integration of RMG's digital media network with the mTAG™ platform provides infinite possibilities for brands to easily engage and then activate their target audience with relevant content and compelling offers at moments of maximum influence" said Garry McGuire, CEO of Reach Media Group.
RMG Networks and Blue Bite have been successfully integrating DOOH and mobile for over 2 years, launching campaigns with Bluetooth, WiFi, mobile web, QR Codes and SMS elements. The two companies believe that NFC represents a new era in mobile interactivity, which will both increase the effectiveness and accountability of mobile campaigns for marketers, and simultaneously provide an improved experience for consumers.
"We are enthusiastic about the launch of mTAG™ and our NFC capability with our partner RMG Networks, staying true to our core belief in the innovative use of leading-edge technologies to increase value for consumers, our advertising clients and our partners" said Mikhail Damiani, CEO of Blue Bite.
Google has already released an NFC enabled handset, the Nexus S, with more models to follow soon. Other major players in the mobile space including Blackberry, HTC and Nokia have announced plans for integrating the NFC capability into their future handsets with unconfirmed reports of Apple following suit. Juniper Research estimates that 300 million mobile phones will be NFC-enabled by 2014, the majority of which will be in the U.S. market. This represents a significant addressable market for brands looking to target consumers outside of their homes, and a unique opportunity for RMG and Blue Bite to provide the platform for such interactions.

How do I deal with my disappointment over having a cesarean?
I'm pregnant with our second child and disappointed that my doctor wants to schedule another C-section due to the risk of uterine rupture during delivery. I agree that this is safest for the baby, but I don't know how to deal with my grief over not being able to experience natural childbirth, again.

I had an emergency section with my first child in 2004 and definitely felt "guilt" that I missed the "childbirth experience". With baby 2 in 2006 it was a planned section to avoid putting the baby of any risk of a uterine tear. Here we are now... 37 weeks along with our third. And of course, it is another planned section. All I can advise is that there comes a point you stop worrying about having missed the birthing experience and what's important is your beautiful baby. We have fully come to term with the csection approach and are fully prepared to "embrace our csection". There are some articles and tips online about how to prepare yourself mentally and physically for section that will empower you with knowledge. Plus, treat yourself to a nice pedicure before going into surgery (my pedi is scheduled for this week)... I found it oddly comforting having really great toes as I prepared for surgery last time. Most importantly, keep your eyes on the prize... a new wee baby!posted 05/17/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
The woman who wrote the question had her baby 8 years ago but it is still a very real problem for some of us. I was so disappointed about my first c-section. I tried a VBAC for my 2nd & enlisted all the support I could find. They cheered me through my labour but in the end I had an emergency c-section ~ more stressful than the first by a lot. I am pregnant with my 3rd & final child. I am happy to schedule a c-section this time because the disappointment in not having a natural child birth has slowly melted away. I am so grateful to the team of people who supported me through my VBAC attempt and afterwards told me how hard I worked & that there was nothing else I could have done. No more regrets for me ~ just 3 healthy babies and one very relieved husband.posted 05/17/2010 by CarolA.
I had a c-section after 19 hours of labor. I do not feel like I failed or I am less of a women. I am grateful everyday that we have a healthy beautiful son. I plan on having another c-section when I am pregnant again. Some things in life happen for a reason and I believe this was one of them. I wouldn't change a thing.posted 03/23/2006 by **2WinterBoys**
This is not from the perspective of a mother, but of a daughter. My mother had me by a c-section (and very traumatic birth) and to this day (and I'm 31) when I see her belly she points to her c-section scar and says, "this is my daily physical reminder that you'll always be a part of me, however old you are" and it makes me feel very special. It might not be the memory of childbirth you hoped for or envisioned, but it's still such a special occasion, and maybe your scar will remind you of that.posted 07/16/2009 by proteanlives
I had my first baby through vaginal birth and forceps were used cos he was big 3.8kg, a year and 2 wks ago and my vagina still hurts sometimes. it was a really massive tear!i dont know what it feels like for c-s but i know that the safe and healthy delivery of your baby is what is very important.I could barly sit for wks walking i dreaded so much.i wonder what it is for the big stictches on the tummy.Either way going through 16hours of continuous pain is not fun at all.the arrival of my beautiful boy was undescribable.I adore him so much.Whatever the experience is, enjoy the birth of your baby.Some wish the could have a baby.why worry which way they come?posted 12/03/2008 by jumbis
I completely understand what you are going through. These other women can sit here and say get over the disappointment but it's not that easy. I was depressed after my c-section. I am pregnant with my second child and am hoping for a vbac. Maybe you should try and different doctor, I know I would. To be able to have a baby vaginally means too much to me to sacrifice because of a lazy or money hungry doctor.posted 02/07/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

I have had a c-section about 14 months ago and I an still disappointed and depressed about the whole incident. I do not like talking about it and I feel it has hindered bonding with the baby because he was breech and that is just not the way God planned the baby to be born and I feel that it is not even his real birthday. We did not celebrate his birthday. Now I have panic attacks every time I have to see the Obgyn or even think about having another baby but I want to have another baby I am still afraid to go to see one because of the horrible experience of the c-section. I am still on antidepressants which do not work. I have also heard that it takes much longer to get pregnant after this procedure because of scar tissue. Will there ever be a time when I am not embarrassed depressed or ashamed?posted 12/03/2006 by riple3
I don't know who to talk to. I had a c-section 6 days after my due date. And I was fine with that. But then during my surgery something happen my doctor told me that my inside didn't look right. I only have one overy. And my bladder was attached to my placenta and my uterus. It was scary but i actually didn't know it was happening. My daughter was 2 1/2 pounds more than they thought and when they pulled her out my bladder exploded. My normal surgery turned into a 5 hour emergency surgery. My daughter who is now 6 months old and has doubled her birth weight is gorgeous happy and loving. For me the doctors told me i was lucky. You see I really wanted to deliver my daughter naturally. You see if I did do that i would have died that day. Now I'm pregnant again and I wonder whats going to happen. Because before the doctors told me that it would happen exactly like that the time. So here I am wondering whats going to happen to my body how many bladder surgerys can I have before something happen to me. Does anyone know what happen to me. Did you have anything like this happen to you???posted 11/09/2006 by ashaleesmom
"I'm having cs #2 on November 1 ,2006 and I'm alittle scared about it but overall I'm likely the idea of knowing when he'll be here so I can take leave and so can my husband and i have everything set up for that day and all my other plans just in case he wants to come early. but if I didn't have to have the C-section then I wouldn't.posted 10/05/2006 by Keewi
