[Biography of Sorrel]
December 31, 2009 - 6:58am — Freyja
Past Entries
Latest Update: 7/9/15
Briefly met two new strangers- Shardul, Nikhil and later, Åsleif !
:: Somewhat weathered from the last few months of travel; may seem distracted or overwhelmed.
August 2015 - Made her way back to the forest just by September
November 2014 - Parted ways after a long time spent travelling with the stag; went to wander on her own
August 2013 - Left the forest to find Sonne
18th of August - Sitting out in the rain, enjoying the forest for what might be the last time in a while.
1st of August - Went out of her way to hunt down a rabbit as a sort of apology to Ramsus; had major difficulties in first, finding one, and then actually killing the damn thing. After many hours and pouncing attempts, accidentally gored one through the head with a stray antler, surprising herself with this act. Plans to go talk to him, and will seek Phaios out tomorrow.
22nd of July onwards- Kind of in hiding for now. Waiting for Verve's ornaments, hunting for things to give her, going through an antisocial pattern. Feels bad for ignoring and avoiding her friends but feels selfish for planning on leaving the forest without them, even if she is coming back. Wishes they were coming but doesn't want to tell anyone. Slowly lowering her guard and might accidentally get caught.
21st of July - Feeling very bored and lonely after Sonne left the morning after meeting him. Bored! Not seeking out friends but feels she should do so. Went to the ruins to talk to Yew, then suddenly
had an idea
- Meets Sonne, who tells her about his time outside of the forest. Spends the day messing around about the old oak, the pond, and then climbing the idols before sleeping.
- Lotsa stuff happened. Came out badly wounded when she joined in fighting off the creatures sent after Dag's picto
- Meets lots more people; becomes good buddies with Phaios and Ramsus
- Had a breakdown during November over Yew; helped along by Talla, who helped her pick a grave dedicated to him
- Met many, many deer. Became good friends with a few like Herla, Eraline and Darcy
- Joined the rut again next year; made many aquaintences, and mainly took to Tieff and Gustiro's herds
- Inactive
- Joined the rut
- Met Friend, Virgil and Talla
To be rewritten; the Ginger keeps her past to herself besides the knowledge(told only to some) of her son, and his death. This was caused by -, not entirely accidentally, but also due to Sorrel's naivety. She believed from what she saw that the forest was entirely safe, for herself and her fawn, suspecting at the time that she'd died and was in some kind of afterlife with her dead son. Was instead treated to the sight of his body beneath the bridge after letting him roam around without her whenever he wanted. Things became more confusing to the doe upon discovering the idea of the Twin Gods, for what gods (of what heaven) would let such terrible creatures into their haven?
Promptly lost the plot with her life as things made less and less sense. No longer believed she was dead, but came to be haunted by her son later on. Believes herself to be the true cause of his death (and is partially right) but will probably never tell anyone this; it's easier to garner sympathy that way.
Eventually came to embrace her worries, meeting those who were the ones she initially feared, becoming able to ignore the less pleasant sides to others. Fawn-killers and aggressive males and dainty sisters and all of them, some like an echo of her past, phased the mother less and less until Sorrel was no longer much of a mother anymore, without her son as a hold on her homeland and steady head.
Grew accustomed to the forest over the years, but has never been entirely comfortable in it. Revelled in the opportunity to escape from it when she met Sonne. The wilderness beckoned to her, but it was no longer the same, having grown somewhat complacent. Slowly, her natural state became more realised, losing her antlers before her markings faded slightly. They travelled and discovered a lot, and over time it felt better and better. The past- and it's misery- left her, at least somewhat. But eventually it would be time to return again.
Possibly has a human form (or AU); I haven't really explored this but have some ideas (and her appearance) in mind. This would tie into her out-of-forest adventures.
The forest has not seen her grow physically, having arrived as a fully grown and matured doe. She
developed somewhat, with new features and colors and markings and all of that which wouldn't be found in her homeland. A rather plain doe arrived one day with a plain fawn, and would later leave the forest as a doe with a glowing fringe on her neck, tall ringed antlers, with a forehead decorated with a charm to keep the past well, well away. Appears to be closely related to an impala. A thin slice of a scar sits above her left eyebrow from fighting Velocity's creatures.
A neat stature that fits between the size of a mini and an average deer.
Often feels clumsy and large when around minis, but really has a nice frame; light fluff in areas, growing around her neck where her mane is. Thinner legs than usual, filled-out body while still remaining in an area between average and thin. Pale, lavender eyes give a ghostly appearance to her face at times. Neat and feminine.
Has a new ward was given to her from Verve in order to end her troubles with Yew. It works, and can also protect her from harm at times, but also has side effects; any characters that are dead, undead, ghostly or partially so will be hard to see, varying from a blurry image to near invisibility. Speech will be garbled. Having had it for years now, the ward is now acting as a personal security blanket- would probably be very nervous without it on her person.
Name// Sorrel, Ginger. Has a different name in her homeland.
Age// Mature adult; would be maybe 27 if human. Almost 6 years in-forest.
Gender// Female
Birthday// 29th of December; Capricorn
Sexuality// Bisexual
Species// Impala-ish
Scent// Wattle, dry wood
The Upright Antler
; about 16
Reference// Designed by Hraeth!
By Eyestrain
by Scythe
Rests// Previously Yew's grave; now, after her wandering, doesn't have a spot at the moment
Eloquent and feminine; often prattles, but sounds confident. Rarely raises her voice; projects calmness
Intrepid - Sporadic - Flirty - Forgiving - Conniving - Melancholic - Rash - Warm - Polar - Muddle-headed - Independent - Paranoid - Passive - Obsessive - Saccharine - Insecure - Non-judgmental - Passionate - Lacks moral judgement - Over-thinker
Starting to grow, and grow up, from her time outside of the forest.
Has lost the hyperactive frenzy she used to feel; now feels more calm mentally, but still projects misery at times. Still tends to be swept up into events easily. An intense being, full of feeling but also unable to manage it. Can become bottled up, which eventually creates a lack of control. Aware of it all; feels she is a harmful person. Able to keep calm more easily nowadays.
Craves excitement and drive.
Sometimes lost in thought, sometimes babbles what might sound like nonsense.
Often blind to stereotypes; doesn't see social circles very clearly. Able to walk up to predators with confidence. Utterly human-like in a sense; doesn't act like a feral animal in most aspects, this included. This leaves her vulnerable more often than not
Edgy around fawns; usually adores them, but wary of her own behaviour around them. Afraid of hurting one.
Suffers from insomnia regularly; helps to sleep around others, but otherwise too anxious.
Sonne :: Best friend; wilderness companion. Has been through a lot with him.
Faolán :: Met through Sonne; at first, nervous to be around a wolf, but quickly warmed up to him. Another companion.
Ramsus :: Met while vulnerable; eventually befriended. Trustworthy.
Talla :: Protective over the mini, confidant.
Daneth :: Likes his macho and flirty behaviour, a little uncertain after a fight between him and Ramsus however. Missing?
Nash :: Feels a kind of unspoken parental bond towards the young bison; missing?
Tieff :: Past short-lived infatuation in her first rut; missing?
Herla :: Uncertain where she stands with the doe, but likes her nevertheless
Prussia :: Met through Phaios, missing?
Krystal :: An early friend, missing?
Eraline, Phaios
:: Unaware of both of their deaths
Gehirn :: Confronted by the stag during Herla's pregnancy, miffed by the encounter
Greitai :: Hassled by during an emotional breakdown; hatred has long since faded, however. Possibly forgotten.

I could swear Phai and Sorrel
I could swear Phai and Sorrel had run into each other a few times with Eraline, but I can't figure out if I'm imagining it or not.
In any case, we seem to be running into Sorrel a lot all of a sudden, and she's such a lovely girl.

"It has been far too long, Sorrel."
, the huge bison spoke down to his old friend, shifting so he could speak with her face to face. She was probably surprised at how big he was, and he smiled at the thought that she didn't even recognize him.
"How have you been?"

she exclaimed under her breath, keeping quiet with thoughts of the two new fawns. The doe supposed herself so distracted that she hadn't noticed the bison sooner.
"I'm fairing well...i'd be more concerned about Herla. Childbirth is not an easy moment."
Turning her eyes back to the babies, she gently shouldered her way closer to the bison's long coated body to share some warmth.

He smiled, glad that she seemed to be doing well.
"She is strong."
, Nash spoke, referring to Herla.
"I was not here, but I heard she did better than normal while having them."
Sighing as Sorrel scooted closer, Nash looked over to Lucamo, then to Gehirn, Herla and Johan, who were all asleep. Looking back to Sorrel, even she seemed sleepy and preoccupied.
"I've been alright as well..stayed out of trouble; grown alot of course."
, he said casually, following her gaze back to the fawn.

She did indeed feel a little tired, yawning as the comfy spot she was settled in began to nudge her towards dullness
"When will you ever stop growing, huh?"
It was a gentle tease as she attempted to keep her head up, not wanting to leave him alone in his watch.

He nodded softly, feeling lazy and cozy yet knowing someone needed to stay awake.
"I don't know, heh. I hope I'm done though."
, he said, knowing he was already taller than most.
"Hm..tell me, how have things been for you? My life has been a bit boring, to be honest.."
, he said, speaking quietly to not disturb the others.

"You'll be a giant in a forest...of giants."
She was quite serious, looking in Gehirn's direction with a twinge of nervousness in her eye.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Better than being small like me."
With another yawn, she rested her head on the ground, still remaining awake.
"A bit chaotic. Things usually are. I can safely say that I have never helped myself."

Nash chuckled to his friend when she reassured him, and he leaned over to give her neck a small nuzzle.
"Chaotic? Uh oh--"
, he said, but cut himself off as she continued. Her comment confused and concerned him, so he turned to her and lowered his head, so their faces were more level with each other.
"What do you mean?"
, he asked, referring to the very last sentence she said.
"I don't know what's wrong; but if you ever need help or safety, don't hesitate to come to me, Sorrel."

Thanks Kah! And no worries Dinamo!
Long ears flicking back, Sorrel wished she hadn't said anything, at that moment hating herself for putting any kind of concern onto someone else's agenda.
"It's alright! I'm fine."
She laughed light-heartedly, truely touched by his worries.
"I just mean that whenever something goes wrong for me, it's usually
of me. However, I suppose that is better than it not being myself."
She paused to let him continue, appreciating for herself her own words. Yes, that definitely sounded better.
"I...thank you, Nash. I think that'd help me a lot."
Her eyes watered a little, before gathering herself up closer. Sorrel restrained herself from becoming embarrasingly emotional, instead giving him a soft nuzzle on the nose before looking at the rest of the group again. Pondering.
"I probably won't be so good on the safety side, but...same to you, alright?"

And sure, I'll type a reply up right now. ♥ One moment.
The Bison nodded down to her, understanding what she was saying; though still wishing that he could help in any way.
"Of course, Sorrel."
, he growled, smiling softly as he wondered if she could feel his chest rumble as he spoke. He returned her gentle nuzzle with an even gentler one - being older now he knew his own strength and, knew he was fully capable of bowling the smaller doe over even with the smallest of nuzzles.
When she offered to help him back, he sighed and followed her gaze to look around at the other too, also touched by her genuine motherly tendencies.
"I think I could handle myself..but, thank you. It means much too."

Thanks! I think it looks a lot neater now which is good. It was too messy before. I guess we're done now?
"With those horns? I'm sure you could!"
She jeered playfully, sighing and relaxing as she began to doze off.
"I think that everyone needs help sometimes, though."
With the last of her musing, she sighed and gently rested her head against the bison's shoulder, using his coat as a cushion and closing her eyes for an afternoon nap.

He smiled gently when she finally replied, eyes lazily gliding back to her face. The Bison watched his friend lay her head on his side, and to make her more comfortable he shifted so her head didn't have to be so high up. Once she had fallen asleep, he turned and looked ahead, body relaxed but eyes vigilant.

Ah... You get used to it. Although, things have always been like that for me, I suppose... Young ones started out very small, and then evolved and were much larger very quickly. It's an interesting experience, to find yourself as tall as a flower one day and above bushes the next. At least they grow a little less suddenly here.

Remorse crept into her voice slowly.
"My memory is fading, I think. I wish it wasn't. I like to know what happened but it seems to be getting harder."
She tilted her head a little.
"Maybe it's just normal, from being here, eh? And feeling old as well; so many kids around, all the time."

It's been the opposite, for me. I didn't remember much at all when I first got here, but over time I've remembered it all.
" Her snout tips skyward, eyes fixing on the sky. "
It's hard to define 'normal' here. Everyone is so vastly different... and...
giant rabbits
" ....Yep, never going to get over that. Phai shudders and peers back at Sorrel. "
There's nothing normal about giant rabbits, but here they are, every day occurences.
" Bleh.
The doe ponders for a moment. "
There do seem to be a lot of fawns lately. I suppose it's just that season.

"Lucky...I can't remember most of my childhood now."
She could recall names- Mother, Father, her sister. But things were getting fuzzier.
"I wouldn't have picked you as someone afraid of giant rabbits!"
The doe giggled without venom.
"And giant birds too...personally I think the rabbits are much more pleasant."
It was the ears, wasn't it? Much nicer than a sharp beak.
season, huh?"
Sorrel burst out laughing, a little immaturely.
"Maybe we have something in common with rabbits then."
(( Sure! Let's keep going ))

University of Arkansas Student Proposes Lawful Conceal Carry on Campus
Mass shootings on school campuses have placed the gun debate in national headlines. However, here at home one University of Arkansas student proposes allowing licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons.
"Criminals don't care if it's illegal to carry a gun on campus," said Joe Youngblood, senator for Residents Interhall Congress.
The proposal is called the Self-Defense Bill.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After looking at over 100 "matches", I did not find even one individual whom I would consider meeting at a Starbucks for a cup of coffee! I asked for a refund, and was told that I "wasn't trying to find my mate". I replied that I already had a full-time job, and that weeding out these losers took too much time. I was told to consider my "search" as a second job!
Finally, both my friend and I began to get "matches" that were absolutely creepy men, obviously looking for victims. Photos of a couple with the woman's eyes scratched out, comments about needing "control" in relationships, anger towards women, and how these men had been "betrayed" many, many times, and that they were only living to find their "true love". And on and on...
I again asked for a refund, stating the above, and was told that I really needed to "try harder" to find my "soul mate". E-harmony stated that it "respected the privacy" of the individuals mentioned above, but they "would investigate", if I would tell them who they were. At that point, I told them they were scam artists, and that for my own safety, I was shutting down my site with them. However, they continue to bill me.
Stay away from e-harmony. You're better off at the local singles bar.

Jan. 27, 2014
Inside an apartment near Country Club and Brown in Mesa a man was murdered in 2006.
"This is a person who just really wanting to reinvent himself and, unfortunately, was never given the chance," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch.
Monday, Jan. 9, 2006, witnesses said Kendall White was in the parking lot of his apartment complex when he was approached by three men. It appeared he knew them because he invited them into his home. A short time later, one of the men shot White then all three took off.
By all accounts, White was a good guy. He liked to go bowling, cook and he played the drums at church. He liked being around people.
"Kendall lived at that apartment for only a month or so," said Burch. "He'd recently relocated here from Connecticut where he was a high school basketball star. He had two sons and a daughter and he'd moved here to be closer to them and his mother."

Our next case is a copper theft but not your typical copper theft.
It happened at an APS facility in north Phoenix on Friday, Dec. 13, 2013. Just after 11 a.m., the suspect scaled a tall block wall and went into the yard of the facility.
"He's probably done this before because he had a plan," said Burch. "He takes the spool of copper wire, places it next to the wall he needs to climb over and basically uses it as a ladder. But, before he climbs back over the wall, he attaches the wire to his clothing, goes over the wall then pulls the wire over into his hands."

Crude Oil Declines on Signals of Slowing U.S. Economic Growth
Crude oil tumbled after government reports bolstered concern that the U.S. economic recovery will slow, reducing fuel consumption.
Oil dipped 0.6 percent after the Federal Reserve said that U.S. factory output fell 0.4 percent in June, the biggest decline in a year. Other reports showed factories pulled back in the New York and Philadelphia regions in July. The major stock indexes dropped at least 1.2 percent before rebounding after oil settled to close little changed.
"There's nothing good in today's economic reports that you can point to," said Michael Fitzpatrick, vice president of energy at MF Global in New York. "Oil is overpriced given where the economy is."
Crude for August delivery dropped 42 cents to settle at $76.62 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped as low as $75.33 during the session. The price is up 25 percent from a year ago.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 7.41 points to 10,359.31 at 4:01 p.m. in New York, the first drop in eight days. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.1 percent to 1,096.48 after trading below the previous close most of the day.
Oil in New York has traded in a range of $8.29 for the past month, from $71.09 to $79.38 a barrel. The August contract's discount to the December contract is $1.83, down from $3.21 on June 18.
"Until we see solid economic growth, prices will stay in this range," said Chip Hodge, who oversees a $9 billion natural-resource bond portfolio as senior managing director at MFC Global Investment Management in Boston. "The forward curve has come down a lot, which is a sign that people are less optimistic about the economy and demand growth."
New York Index
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that showed its general economic index fell to 5.1 in July from 19.6 the prior month. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's general economic index declined to 5.1 this month, the lowest level since August 2009, from 8 in June.
Economists monitor the New York and Philadelphia Fed factory reports for clues about the Institute for Supply Management figures on U.S. manufacturing during the month. The July ISM data will be released Aug. 2.
China's economic growth rate eased to 10.3 percent in the second quarter. The gain in gross domestic product was less than an 11.9 percent increase in January-March from a year earlier. Industrial output rose 13.7 percent, less than all but one of 27 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey.
"Their economy is clearly decelerating, which has to worry investors," said Bill O'Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis.
The U.S. and China, the world's biggest energy consuming countries, accounted for 32 percent of global oil demand in 2009, according to BP Plc, which publishes its BP Statistical Review of World Energy each June.
OPEC Shipments
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, supplier of about 40 percent of the world's oil, will ship 23.6 million barrels a day in the four weeks to July 31, compared with 23.58 million in the month ended July 3, according to tanker tracker Oil Movements. The data exclude Ecuador and Angola.
OPEC's compliance with production targets slipped in June on higher production from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. The 11 members bound by quotas increased output by 61,700 barrels a day to 26.86 million, implying compliance of 52 percent, according to the group's Monthly Oil Market Report today. OPEC completed 54 percent of its promised cuts in May, the data show.
An Energy Department report yesterday showed that stockpiles of gasoline and distillate fuel, a category that includes heating oil and diesel, increased last week as crude oil supplies dropped. Both crude and fuel stockpiles were above the five-year average for the period.
'A Lot of Crude'
"We still have a lot of crude on hand," said Kyle Cooper, a managing director at energy consultant IAF Advisors in Houston. "What we need are products such as gasoline, and those supplies increased."
Gasoline for August delivery slipped 0.58 cent, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $2.0607 a gallon in New York. Heating oil for August delivery declined 1.78 cents, or 0.9 percent, to end the session at $2.0183 a gallon.
Brent crude for August settlement fell 58 cents, or 0.8 percent, to end the session at $76.19 a barrel on the London- based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The August contract expired today. The more actively traded September contract dropped 57 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $76.09.
Oil volume on the Nymex was 588,338 contracts as of 3:09 p.m. in electronic trading in New York. Volume totaled 683,617 contracts yesterday, 8.2 percent below the average of the past three months. Open interest was 1.28 million contracts.

MKTG & Smirnoff House at EDC: F17 FTW!
From June 17-19, EDC Las Vegas was the launchpad for Smirnoff's F17 brand expression campaign, in support of their "We're Open" platform. Smirnoff House is not a new idea, as the brand had executed it in Europe, but our our Extreme Home Makeover: MKTG Edition, was more than evolutionary. The client's resounding acknowledgement that the evolution of this idea had really helped create an experience beyond previous executions was a testament to the risk-taking conceptualization, revolutionary spirit, and heart-rate elevating efforts (from concept pitch to roof pitch) that MKTG continues to employ with everything we touch.
It was a house filled with good vibes. It was a house filled with love, inclusivity and diversity.
It was a house filled with forward thinking.
It was also an innovative house filled with cameras broadcasting live and programmed content to screens masked in picture frames on every wall of our house.
The photos below don't even begin to highlight the energy in and around the house, but a little scan of the internet will get you a little closer to how MKTG is helping Smirnoff reach the 100M impressions that the campaign is set out to achieve in F17.
Smirnoff Rendezvous: EDC Las Vegas
The world's largest vodka brand continued their efforts to shun the pretentious vibes that has consumed the vodka category and be the brand leading the way for social inclusivity. Continuing of the momentum from their "Exclusively for Everybody" campaign launch, a massive EDM partnership with Live Nation tied the knot with what is one of the least pretentious communities. Smirnoff and MKTG Inc. did not waste any time and created the Rendezvous meet-up spot consumer experience seeking to build authentic relationships with Millennials by genuinely enhancing their festival experience. First up on the schedule, the Super Bowl of EDM festivals…
400,000+ dance music fans from all across the world gathered at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in June to dance from dusk till dawn at the Electric Daisy Carnival. Insomniac's annual flagship event has grown into the western hemisphere's largest EDM festival and this year's event featured eight brand new stages that were curated specifically to offer different sounds from 150 Top DJs from across the world including: Hardwell, Above & Beyond, Bassnectar and many more.
The Rendezvous' was the perfect place to Refresh, Recharge & Reunite for all 21+ ravers, which made waiting for your tardy friends much more enjoyable. Refresh stations and charging pods let guests clean up and charge their phones while they sipped on custom EDC themed cocktails. Custom designed red bandanas were given out to guests and professional body artists enhanced looks with UV owl art. The shuffle stage gave fans a large platform to show off their moves which were projected to thousands of folks walking the Rainbow Road strip on LED screens outside the entrance. When everyone's crew finally made it to the meet-up spot, a group photo in front of the Smirnoff daisy filled eyebrow and red cup art installation was a must before heading back out into the Madness. After 3 nights filled with fuzzy boots, fireworks and desert sunrises the kickoff to a busy year filled with 20+ major EDM music festivals was well underway.
Keep an eye out at your next EDM festival for the Smirnoff Rendezvous and have your crew meet-up with us there.
Meet our NYC Interns
— Emily Upson
We have all heard daunting tales of pointless internships, where interns are relegated solely to making copies and getting coffee while constantly asking themselves "Is it 5 o'clock yet?" But in my six weeks as an intern at MKTG INC, I have yet to get anybody coffee; in fact, I've had full-time employees offering to get me coffee on their run downstairs. We even have a "coffee talk" program, where each intern is given a Starbucks card (being the broke college student that I am, this is huge), as well as the opportunity to invite any employee in the company to coffee for a chat. Even though I am an intern in the Sales and Marketing department, I have had the chance to sit down with Tim Owens, VP, Production to pick his brain about another part of the industry that piques my interest.
If you ask any of the 12 MKTG summer interns in NY, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco about their typical day, the answers would be universal: there's no such thing as a typical day.
We are in and out of the office, attending meetings and events, performing research, and even getting our hands dirty in the event production aspect of the industry. However, this isn't to say we haven't done our share of invoices and expense reports.
Many of the eight New York interns have spent recent weeks working on the Warby Parker Hackathon, a project MKTG INC is producing pro-bono in partnership with Warby Parker and the City of New York.
The Warby Parker Hackathon, called #HudsonHack, will host over 200 tech interns in New York City, and students will compete for 24 hours to come up with innovative solutions for several local nonprofit organizations. Our MKTG interns have been working in-and-out of their usual departments to help put on this event. Intern Stasean has been with the project since the brainstorming phase, working alongside the Strategy & Planning team to come up with ideas for sponsorships and activations within the event. The opportunity to meet so many members of the Warby Parker team and regularly visit their offices has allowed our interns to "really build a connection with the brand," says Stasean. Meanwhile creative intern Lauren has had weekly trips to WP HQ to work with their design team. Julia and I have also tagged along, developing the event's social media plan, recruiting intern participants, and helping with sponsorship outreach.
MKTG's remaining summer interns have also worked on Diageo projects such as Chrissy's work on Smirnoff's NYC Pride Parade activation, and Julia and Melissa's slew of Nike summer training events, even previewing not-yet-public classes and interacting with Nike trainers and clients.
More intern updates to come as our MKTG keep us all busy!
A Perfect Pairing for PRIDE
MKTG INC has paired up with Smirnoff and the DIAGEO Rainbow Network to celebrate LGBT Pride Month in the Northeast with Pride Parade Floats, Festivals, and Events taking place throughout the month of June in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York. The activation theme for 2013 celebrates the progress and ongoing campaign towards Marriage Equality – Every Pairing is Perfect.
With three new sorbet inspired vodkas to stimulate the tastebuds, but not the waistline, Smirnoff Sorbet Light was the perfect brand to make a SPLASH at PRIDE with less than 78 calories per cocktail and three great new flavors – Raspberry Pomegranate, Light Mango Passion Fruit and Light Lemon. The Float celebrates this theme by utilizing three 7-foot inflatable bottles and a recreation of an ice cream booth accompanied by staff dressed in attire that both portrays the sorbet server and embraces the Pride Parade energy. This float has already been a booming part of the Capitol Pride parade in Washington D.C. and the Philly Pride parade in Philadelphia. The float will make its final run in the New York Pride Parade on June 30th.
Outside of the parade, Smirnoff Sorbet Light has partnered with the LGBT Community Center and to host The Center Garden Party located on the Hudson River's Pier 84. Kicking off Pride Week in New York with over 1,500 supporters, the Garden Party will bring "A Taste of Pride" with 40 restaurants offering samples from their delicious menus and will be complimented by a variety of Smirnoff Sorbet Light specialty cocktails, including a special pairing of 16 Handles Mango Tango Sorbet with Smirnoff Sorbet Light Raspberry Pomegranate….yum!
Be sure to make your way to the NY Pride Parade Sunday June 30th while mixing and matching your Smirnoff Sorbet Light (responsibly!) because you cant go wrong – Every Pairing is Perfect!

How would I call a permission for a page or a category?
Say I only want Admins, Authors and Editors to access a page/category but no contributors/subscribers or guests.
How would I call a permission for a page or a category?
Say I only want Admins, Authors and Editors to access a page/category but no contributors/subscribers or guests.
Password-protect the posts/pages (with the same password)?
See but that's not a good answer to me as password protecting, especially with the same password, is unsafe. Also, what if I change an Author/Editor to a Contributor or Subscriber because of issues, Then I have to go through the hassle of changing the password for every post/page and then update every member that needs that password with the new password and there is no simple way for me to provide that other then email them.
Unfortunately that is not a good solution.
I think to describe this more clearly, I just need an If Then statement that I can add
if (user_has_permission('publish_posts'));
The Page
Sorry you can't access this
I've tried it multiple times and each time it does nothing or it gives me SQL errors.
As for the categories I'm either going to have to mod the admin and other code or something but I would need the same code that I'm using here to mod it I would assume.
I think you can use the "current_user_can()" function in your templates. Have a look here:
That's what I needed.
If anyone else needs this for pages on their site:
Template Name: Template Name
//Only Authors and higher can read this page.
if (current_user_can('publish_posts')) { ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_content('
Read the rest of this page »
'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '
Pages: ', 'after' => '
', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '
', '
'); ?>
<?php }
//Tell the people that don't have access to this page that they do not have access.
You don't have access to this page.
<?php } ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I'm curious if anyone has found a way to lock categories from unregistered users? The above blocks users from pages but not categories, is there a way to filter them from categories?
I think it has something to do with making an array for the categories that would be something like:
if (logged_in)
$category=array(Category numbers);
$category=array(Category numbers);
thanks for the help locking pages, im gunna try it out.
It would be really helpful if support for Category permission were added in future versions though.
Im implementing WP as a tool for our organization to share news and ideas, and to draw public interest.
It would be nice, and I think encourage greater participation by our staff, if it could additionally be used for discussion of company politics and more sensitive matters that we dont want the public to view.
One idea would be to give the Author the option of setting (or possibly requesting) what groups are able to see their post.
This way a lower lever user would have the ability to post something that could only be viewed by administrators, not his colleagues.
..Just a thought.
Some sort of simple Category based permission would be great though.
Send requests for the feature to WP!
Hey Morrigan,
Could you give a little more info on how to implement that code on a page? Im not much on programming or php. Does that need to be enclosed in some sort of html tag?
thanks for the help

Does anyone follow an analyst that isn't wrong most of the time. This is insane!!! These analaysts online and on CNBC must have some kind of agenda that I cannot figure out. At CS, they rank BSX an "A" while others have it as a strong sell. What school did these people go too. Economics and company fundamentals must mean nothing anymore. No, and I mean "NO" analyst is consistent anywhere that I have seen. If you have a consistent analyst that you trust, please send them my way...thanks
Think back years ago-Several were recomending enron as a strong buy not long before it went under.

I think it would likely be un-noticed by about 99.9999% of people who see you. However, the 2-eyelet style is sort of a classic though so I don't know if I would want to mess with it, unless I was concerned about the boot being too loose around the top, which can be a legit concern for some with their chukkas. I don't think it would look any better... just a bit different.
I can only recall a coupon code once in the past few years and that was when they launched their design-your-own app. The code was just enough to basically waive the mark-up for their custom designed service.

The Club Monaco website is broken, but if you call they will honor the code and waive shipping.
I bought 2 pairs with the sale...the burgundy beefroll loafer and the black 5 eyelet boot - $120 each.
Club Monaco introduced me to Rancourt when I purchased the "brown" ranger mocs earlier this year. Their brown is actually Rancourt's Color 8 Chromexcel. Great shoe, and turns out I really like the company after researching them a bit more.
One thing to note on Club Monaco's ranger moc...I absolutely hate the soles. I feel every pebble underneath them. They don't work well for Boston's streets.
Thanks for the tip. I ordered the 5-eyelet boots because I needed them like I need a punch in the face.
It took me a few tries to get it to work as well, but eventually, after deleting everything from my cart and starting over from scratch, I got the site to accept payment and complete the transaction.
I have the Vibram mini-lug on a pair of Ranger Mocs and they served me very well in the snowiest and iciest winter Detroit has seen in more than 100 years. It's a pretty stiff sole compared to the lugged soles I am used to from Alden, but I had no complaints.

I have a pair of camp mocs with a sole similar to what's in the picture.
Is it nuts to want to apply a topy or vibram sheet on such a sole. To elaborate, i believe that moccasin soles are blake stitched although I might be wrong and a cobble would charge €80 at least to resole them but not with a similar sole. A topy costs anywhere between €15-35. To resend the mocs back to the States would cost at least €50 for shipping and the standard quoted refinishing rate of USD75.
Is rubber on rubber a plausible compromise? Does it work as well as topy on leather soles?

I'm no cobbler, but I think a topy or something similar on that type of sole might have a hard time staying attached because of the all the small grooves/indentations in the sole. It doesn't seem like it would be too secure unless you use gobs and gobs of adhesive. The little grooves would likely allow moisture to penetrate more easily which would degrade any adhesive you do apply.
FWIW, I have found all of my non-leather soles from Rancourt to be quite durable and they are holding up very well. I don't know if I would bother with a topy on the rubber soles.
That sounds perfect then as I live in Windsor haha.

Having snow in August is - well - odd.
Other than that, it's a nice idea, but let's be honest...the day/night system did a good job with assigning Pokémon as well. I still think Pokémon based on time of day is a nice idea. I think the reason it got left out and seasons added instead is specifically because kids are in school during the day, doing homework in the afternoon, and not playing until evening; in Johto, this meant catching lots of Hoothoot and little else outside of caves (in National Park, it was 100% after 8 p.m., in fact). This kind of thing and wanting to introduce the new Pokémon likely led to the introduction of seasons.
The only thing I wish is that they made sense; make all items accessible only in a certain season optional items (like a Star Piece, or a Nugget, or a bonus Exp. Share/Lucky Egg that is separate from the one given in the storyline) and resume the every three months idea, making sure all Pokémon can be found at all times somehow. Even bring back an old expired item (Exp. All anyone?) and put it in a very out of the way part of the overworld and hard to locate, and only available post-E4 and in winter, for instance. The problem with the three months idea, of course, is that some have summer while some have winter at the same time (winter in June anyone?), hence the months thing...and I guess you can say I hate how seasons got incorporated.

Think your friends might be familiar with this merchant? Ask your friends on Facebook to see what they think.
I got my skis mounted here and not even 5 months later the screws fell out when i was in the backcountry at Mount Baker. Turns out the guy who mounted them (also the owner of the store) forgot to glue them in place, because the screws fell out, the bottom plate on my binding endend up breaking. I returnted to the store to tell them what had happened and the owner, with the stench of alcohol on his breath told me "theres nothing we can do, its not my fault, theres no way to fix it, we will just put some screws in it and you can get out of here", constantly cursing. He clearly didnt want to take any responsibility in it. He insisted it was the quality of the binding and ski, which are Marker Dukes and K2 Obsethed, both not even one season old and a very high quality product! This place is obviously not capable of such an easy task as mounting a pair of skis and bindings properly. They may sell skis and snowboards but they definitly do not provide any "Service". This place is very un-profesional and highly un-qualified. I would not reccomend this place to anyone!!!
The product selection at this Kitsilano specialty shop changes with the seasons: during the summer months you'll find skateboards, wakeboards and water skiing gear, but come winter they're all about skis, snowboards, boots, bindings and snow-sport accessories. Visit the store before hitting your local mountain to pick up all the equipment you need to ride safely and stylishly. The on-site service centre will also help with getting your gear sharpened, waxed and tuned up for the season. West Coast Sports also offers multi-day rental packages and partners with the Vancouver Ski School for private lessons.
Another shop along outdoor activity row on 4th Avenue in Kits is West Coast Sports, specializing in winter sports gear like skis, snowboards and snowshoes. Happy to fit, wax and tune your gear, they also offer rentals and great deals on used or demo equipment.

After only one season and 25 starts with the Hammers, Fredrik Ljungberg has been released by the London Club.
Ljungberg never really made an impact on the West Ham side despite his successful nine year stint with Arsenal, which included one undefeated season, two League titles, and three FA Cups.
He is said to be weighing his options, and while he hasn't ruled out retirement, he is apparently considering interest from both Asia and the MLS.
"I gave my all at West Ham and enjoyed my time there," said Ljungberg on West Ham's official website, "But the decision is the best for the both of us. Now I will take my time to consider my football future."
The termination of Ljungberg's contract is said to be "mutually acceptable to both parties."

SketchUp 3D Basecamp -- A Brief Roundupcomments (19) October 21st, 2012 in blogs
Earlier last week the SketchUp team and Trimble hosted 3D Basecamp in Boulder, Colorado. For avid SketchUp users 3DBC is a great time to network with and learn from other SketchUp users. I had an opportunity to see some amazing work from a number of folks in diffferent disciplines. There wasn't a whole lot of content directly aimed at woodworkers but there was still a lot of interest.
On Monday we heard from Trimble Sector VP Bryn Fosburgh. He oversees the SketchUp group in addition to some of the other sectors of Trimble. He offered a tiny peek at the future of SketchUp. Trimble is committed to continuing to offer and support a free version of SketchUp although he did say there would be greater differentiation between the free version and the pro versions. The next version of SketchUp will be called SketchUp2013 which leads me to think we'll see it next year. No ideas yet on what new features we'll see so we'll have to wait on that.
The keynote speech was a presentation by Bre Pettis, the founder of MakerBot, a company that sells reasonably-priced desktop 3D printers. The idea of 3D printing is intriguing to me and I can see some interesting applications for woodworkers. I can imagine printing some custom light-duty hardware and complex patterns. It could be be used to create 3D models of woodworking projects such as the one I had made by a commercial 3D printing company. Suppose you had an idea for a new tool for your shop. You could print the parts to prove the concept in the same way manufacturers such as Lee Valley do.
For those interested in creating photo-realistic renders from their SketchUp models, there were a number of commercial renderers represented in Boulder. After seeing some of the rendering shown there, I'm starting to think differently about using renders more often than I do.
Tuesday was filled with "Un-conference" sessions presented by vendors and users of SketchUp. There were too many of these sessions to be able to attend them all but there was something for everyone. I attended a session on SketchUp in Education that was quite interesting. SketchUp is being used in primary education as a tool to teach math and geometry as well as history and geography. It's also be found to be helpful with children dealing with autism.
On Wednesday morning there was a design charrette. This was an interesting exercise of collaboration between small groups of folks. The focus of this activity was to come up with ideas and concepts for utilizing computers, tablets and other electonic devices in a school setting. These ideas were then presented to a board from a local school and some of the ideas will likely be put into use.
One of the big things I got out of 3D Basecamp this year was that there are many opportunities for using SketchUp in the community. Although the focus of this blog tends to be woodworking, there are many other ways SketchUp can be used. Prehaps some of our readers might find ways they can help in their local schools.
The other thing I left with is the idea that we're just nicking the surface and we're going to see some big things in the not too distant future.

If students have only been exposed to AutoCAD, or Word, or Angry Hippos v1.13b, or any other single-approach tuition then they are going to be less flexible and less capable later in life. It's the old problem of "if you only have a hammer, every problem is a nail", writ large. It can ruin cultures and economies.
So, yes, schools should use SketchUp - along with whatever other CAD and related design tools they can rustle up. From pencils to CATIA. Any vendor with enough brains to be in business should be making sure there are no-cost options for any school or college interested.

Ralph, just make sure to use your SketchUp push stick when making that cut.
Posted: 9:30 pm on October 27th
Yesterday, for example, I drew a rectangle, and stretched it into a board. Now, to make a SketchUp table saw to cut it to length. ;-)

@user-149255, I would be interested to know what features you'd expect to see available in your $50-$100 version of SketchUp.
Architect Nick Sonder spoke at Basecamp. He was asked how he deals with showing 2D construction details without using AutoCAD and the typical hatch patterns used to identify different materials. I thought his answer was excellent. He said he uses color instead of hatching and 3D drawings instead of 2D. His detail drawings are canned so he can use the same ones on multiple projects. He said the contractors and others who have to use his drawings prefer color and 3D to the common CAD drawings they get from other architects. He's in California where permitting for construction is a very complex process which is often difficult to get through. He said the packages he presents for permits go through easily because his drawings provide all the required detail.
If you are interested in seeing some examples of construction documentation using SketchUp and LayOut, take a look at Nick's site. http://www.nicksonder.com/ Especially look at his Unique Services page 05. I think you'll agree he does some impressive work. You might also find the website for Stangl Associates of interest. http://stangl.com/sketchup-pro/

Re: your question about what sketchup will not do
Wiring diagrams for one. Not a concern for woodworkers of course, but it's an area I work in and wish there was such a powerful, free alternative.
Posted: 5:51 am on October 27th
So our schools need to teach "CAD" and in my world lots of programs are required now, but I think that models will be future as the pressure for less costly construction documents will have the designers and architects stopping at the model stage. Right now I see Sketch up is the modeling program of choice. As for CNC work, when I want something done on the CNC we have not problems as Rhino will open sketch up files. We just built a surfboard that way.
Posted: 5:45 pm on October 26th
Posted: 9:58 am on October 26th
At some point in the future, there may be an interface between the pro version of SketchUp and CNC machines, for example. In my Star Trek imagination, I can even envision a SketchUp interface to the shipboard replicator. ;-)
Posted: 9:44 am on October 26th
I'm sure someone will come along and try to dispute this. I'm just reporting what I've seen. Certainly for woodworking related projects, SketchUp and perhaps LayOut are all that is needed. It is certainly capable of the required precision.
I doubt that AutoCAD will disappear any time soon but I think in the future there'll more and more people in various industries using SketchUp. I think with SketchUp2013 and beyond, the tie-ins to other products offered by Trimble will make it more likely that those in various construction trades will be skipping the AutoCAD segment altogether.

It is very amazing what kids can do with SketchUp. They seem to be naturals with it. My son has been using it since he was four years old and rarely ever wants my help with it. Dad just isn't smart enough. :)
You're right. I can't really answer your question for you but here's some thoughts. The current price of SketchUp 8 Pro is $495. There will be a price increase with the introduction of SketchUp2013. I don't know how much but considering there's never been a price increase for SketchUp, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 50% increase. I have no idea what the upgrade price will be but I'd guess you'd have less invested if you buy Pro 8 now and upgrade to 2013 when it comes.
Also consider that you may or may not need whatever new features come with 2013. Perhaps version 8 pro has what you need. I think that in many cases upgrading every time a new version of software comes out would be like buying the newest version of a power tool every time there's a model change.
Out of curiosity, what is it that you are looking to get by upgrading to SketchUp Pro? I'm not trying to talk you out of it. I'm just wondering.
Posted: 2:32 pm on October 21st
So here's a question that you really can't answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Given that a new version of SketchUp Pro is in the offing for 2013, do you think it's wise to wait for the new release before purchasing? It appears that version upgrades cost around $100, which is significant for my budget.
I'm itching to get into the pro version sooner rather than later, but knowing that a new version is on the horizon makes me hesitant to jump in now.

AbstractThe class of "stable games", introduced by Hofbauer and Sandholm in 2009, has the attractive property of admitting global convergence to equilibria under many evolutionary dynamics. We show that stable games can be identified as a special case of the feedback-system-theoretic notion of a "passive" dynamical system. Motivated by this observation, we develop a notion of passivity for evolutionary dynamics that complements the definition of the class of stable games. Since interconnections of passive dynamical systems exhibit stable behavior, we can make conclusions about passive evolutionary dynamics coupled with stable games. We show how established evolutionary dynamics qualify as passive dynamical systems. Moreover, we exploit the flexibility of the definition of passive dynamical systems to analyze generalizations of stable games and evolutionary dynamics that include forecasting heuristics as well as certain games with memory.

Well we've had a ball this year at Waterfront Winterland, you came in your thousands to enjoy Swansea's award winning winter attraction. We're now closed for this season.
For the 10th year, from 15 November until January 3 Museum Park (in the grounds of the National Waterfront Museum) was transformed into a Winter Wonderland.
Tens of thousands of visitors enjoyed ice skating on the Admiral ice rink and children's rink; visited Santa's Grotto, and experienced the festive family funfair, delicious foods from the Alpine dining cabins and returning for 2015, the Big Wheel!
Waterfront Winterland is the perfect place to celebrate Christmas. Happy New Year from the City and County of Swansea Events and Marketing teams and we hope to see you all again in 2016!
