"All through The Elements of Style, one finds evidence of the author's deep sympathy for the reader. Will felt that the reader was in serious trouble most of the time, a man floundering in a swamp, and that it was the duty of anyone attempting to write English to drain this swamp quickly and get his man up on dry ground or at least throw him a rope."
-- E.B. White
This quote comes from the introduction of the best book on writing in English, Strunk and White's The Elements of Style. White first encountered The Elements 80 years ago and was, of course, thinking about writing that would appear on paper. Today, the situation is even more desperate. Most freshmeat readers spend all their days online. We read newsgroups, we read slashdot, we read email, we read technical papers, we read documentation, and we read code. We all have tired eyes and tired heads to go along with them.
By the time we come to freshmeat, we're worn out. Any text that doesn't make immediate sense kicks us when we're down. Phrases that make our eyes backtrack over and over to drag out their meaning are more than we can bear. This is why people who go through the freshmeat boot camp to join the news/announcements staff get "Simplify, simplify, simplify!" pounded into their heads. Dozens of updates and new items appear on freshmeat every day. We have to make sure they all flow across the reader's eyes as easily as possible.
The first point can be addressed with statements of fact; my response to the second will be filled with my opinions. First, the facts:
We do our best to get everything onto freshmeat as soon as possible after it comes in. Sometimes, stuff happens over which neither you nor we have any control. At other times, your software would have gone up right away if it hadn't been for the "ick" factor.
Even the members of the freshmeat staff are only human. There are times when it's late, late, late at night and one of us has been pounding through submissions for a couple of hours and is just about to finish when he lands on a submission so hideous that all he can do is scream "ick!", run away, and leave it for the person on the next shift.
If your submission gets to us at one of these times and you've prepared it so it's a no-brainer, our bleary-eyed staff member just clicks "go", and you're on. If instead you've offered an "ick" submission, you can be left hanging until someone with a sufficient caffeine-to-blood ratio comes along to take care of you.
So how do you make your submission a no-brainer? Here are a few ideas:
The number one problem which will make a staff member cower in terror is a description or changes list with a thousand words in it. We like to give you enough room to say what you need to say, but we also need to fit everyone onto our front page each day, and can't let you take over the entire space. Your submission should fit in the box we give you for it. If it doesn't, we'll make it fit.
Making it fit requires time and care, as we have to try to delete enough to cut it down to size while not destroying your message. We have to rearrange things and make judgments about what's most important and try to move it to the top. Since this takes time and a little thought, our night owl worker is just going to pass on to something easier and quicker.
Be succinct and clear. Not only will your announcement appear much more quickly, you'll be the one to decide what to include instead of us!
freshmeat's content doesn't just appear on the Web page. It gets sent out each night in the plain text newsletter and is placed on the backend for the use of people who aren't expecting to find HTML in it. If you include HTML, we have to go through and cut it out. If you've used a lot of HTML with unordered lists and such, your submission may look scary indeed.
We can't announce version 3.2 of your software if you forgot to put it on the server, forgot to set the permissions on it, or just gave us a bogus URL. Your announcement is going to sit there until you or we can fix it.
A special case of this involves Metalab (the repository formerly known as Sunsite). Lots of people submit announcements with the URL of where the software will be on Metalab when it arrives there. Unless there's another URL for it, we can't announce it, because people won't be able to get it. Metalab is nice enough to send you mail when your package is available on their servers. Wait until then to submit the link.
And when you change the version number of your software, don't forget to submit a change request for the download URL too! Otherwise, we have to hunt down the URL and submit the change ourselves.
Consider this list of changes:
I reordered the menus, I added support for PNGs, and I changed the configuration file format.
This is fine on your Web page, but who is "I" on freshmeat? The author of the page -- scoop! scoop didn't do any of these things, so write it instead as:
The menus have been reordered, support for PNGs has been added, and the configuration file format has changed.
A long list of changes written in the first person has to be carefully changed, and slows your submission's progress.
Along the lines of "Are you sure your computer is plugged in?"...
Don't forget that you have to submit an announcement for your software after you submit its appindex entry! When you add a new piece of software to our database, you have to also submit an announcement or it will never appear on the front page. Yes, this is explained during the submission process, but lots of people still forget it and write to ask why they never saw their software appear.
While I'm on the subject, I can't help adding three extra suggestions that don't effect how quickly your submission will appear but which will cause you extra work if you ignore them, because what you type will just be deleted.
How many Pointy-Haired Bosses do you know who read freshmeat? I don't know any either, so know your audience and drop the marketspeak.
Here's a real life freshmeat software submission (with the product name changed to protect the guilty):
foobar provides the ability to allow people to use the mail, scheduling and time-management functions so often used in the enterprise while insuring the cross platform capability not found in any other product in today's market. foobar represents a suite of applications. On the client side is provided an internet email application. That application is then taken a few steps further by adding calendar functions, contact management, scheduling and eventually enterprise workgroup tools. Currently, foobar is in Peer Review Release 1 which is essentially an email client that will allow users to glimpse the functionality of what the final product for commercial release, (Release 4), will be like.Here's what was left after I was done with it:
foobar is an Internet email application which provides calendar, contact management, scheduling, and time management functions. It is currently under development, and only a small part of its functionality is in place.
The authors can update it when/if all their other plans come to fruition.
You know you're going wrong if you find yourself using phrases like:
The average freshmeat reader will be repelled by this kind of talk, not attracted. Talk about what your software does, not about how great it is. Your users will judge its quality for themselves.
(Open Source authors can be just as guilty of this as commercial ones, BTW. It's just as bad to say "Mine is the best GPLed IRC client that exists or ever will exist! No one can touch me! All the others suck! I'm l33t, d00dz!!!")
We're glad to hear that you're getting lots of help with your Open Source project, but we don't need the names, email addresses, and URLs of everyone who's helped you. We get submissions with passages like:
Added XML support thanks to Bill Schaeffer (firstname.lastname@example.com). Fixed the FreeBSD compile errors (thanks, Phreaker!Anyone who's interested in your software will follow the link to your homepage, and you can give credit where it's due there.
). Borrowed some parsing ideas from the cool guys at the Apache project (http://www.apache.org/).
Unless there's an exceptionally good reason, we don't like to announce two versions of the same software on the same day. We're not even very happy about announcing new releases of the same software two or three days in a row. Once-a-day releases draw attention to themselves at the expense of other people's work.
Ok, there's the facts; now on to the opinions. Most of the above is freshmeat-specific. What follows is also useful for your interactions with freshmeat, but could equally apply to your README or your software's Web page. If you can make them easier to read and understand, more people are likely to stop and give your software a try.
There's no reason this has to be true. Everyone should have the ability to write well; it's a basic skill of a well-rounded person. If your education failed you (or you failed it), you can still teach yourself to explain your ideas simply and logically in writing. Go to the library and pick up a copy of the Bible of writing in English, The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White. Learn to spell, learn to punctuate, learn to edit. You'll be doing a favor to tired eyeballs everywhere.
If English isn't your first language, it may not be your favorite and you may sharply feel its deficiencies when you compare it to your native tongue, but it's what we're stuck with, and it's worth your time to learn it well so people can understand you. Sometimes when I edit the writing of people who are pushing hard against a language barrier, I just have to cross my fingers and hope I'm conveying their intentions.
What if you really, truly cannot spell or organize a coherent paragraph to save your life (it can happen to the best of us)? Find one of your software's users who can write well and ask him whether he would be willing to be your press agent. You could hand over to him the care and tending of your documentation, your Web page, and your freshmeat submissions. Wouldn't you rather be coding, anyway? More people than you might think would be willing to do this as a thank-you for the software you've given them. If you don't have anyone handy to help you out, try The Open Source Writers Group; they may be able to match you with someone.
l33t d00d talk makes people think you're 10 years old and doesn't encourage them to download your software. It will be wiped from your freshmeat submissions, and you'd do well to keep it off your Web page unless it's used ironically.
I'll close with a fictitious but representative example I made up to use in training a couple of the freshmeat staff.
The original:
fixed bugs in config file format submitted by Ethan Fubalt
(thanks, Ethan!); runs much faster now; popup problem fix; some people think you can exploit the showfile() function to read files with 600, but I fixed it; thinking of switching to libshoe to clean up the dirty feet problem; now asking for a password each time you log in not just the first; prompts for the group to add a user to now; doc updates thanks to the guys at linuxxunil.com; new icons are in the tarball; new modules for ssl and libpng; you should really upgrade because its really cool now; fixed a bug in cookies and one that kept it from compiling under cp/m; doesn't segfault when you make two connections at once now; might get 1.0 out before i die...; and stuff.
My final version:
Security fixes for the showfile() function (which let users read files for which they didn't have read permission) and for the password challenge, which was only made on the first login. Bugfixes related to the config file format, the popup problem, cookies, cp/m compilation, and segfaults which occurred when two simultaneous connections were made. New features, including speed improvements, a prompt asking to which group a user should be added, doc updates, new icons, and new modules for ssl and libpng.
I'll spare you my analysis of how I got from the one to the other, but notice how much easier it is to read the second. I'm not even making a real paragraph here; it's three clauses without verbs made to look like sentences. The difference is that they're clearly structured now. You can tell where the three ideas (security issues, bugfixes, and new features) begin and end, and what's important. The original is impenetrable to anyone except those who take the time and effort to sort out what's important in it, and freshmeat readers don't have time for that; they have 50 more announcements to read. Visitors to your Web site don't have time for it either; there are lots more pages to visit and lots more software to try. Explain yourself well and explain yourself quickly, or they'll just click off to the next page.
It takes a little thought to express yourself clearly, but your users will thank you, and so will we. :)
Jeff Covey received his degree in classical guitar performance but
spent so much time with his computer that he fell in with a bad crowd
and ended up working for Andover.net. He currently works on freshmeat
and runs a computer lab for the
kids in his neighborhood in his spare time.
We're eager to find people interested in writing editorials on software-related topics. We're flexible on length, style, and topic, so long as you know what you're talking about and back up your opinions with facts. Anyone who writes an editorial gets a freshmeat t-shirt from ThinkGeek in addition to 15 minutes of fame. If you think you'd like to try your hand at it, let firstname.lastname@example.com know what you'd like to write about.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Still Married11/30/2012
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Still Married
It seems like old news now, hearing Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' names together, but to them everything is still fresh. They are still legally married, and until the court decides trial can begin, it will stay that way.
After their 72 day marriage in October 2011, Kim Kardashian, filed for divorce and separated herself from Kris Humphries. After their wedding, Humphries spent many nights going out to clubs and partying until early morning. It clearly was not the fairytale marriage the wedding proposed it would be. Kardashian states that she thought it was true love, but she was wrong. It wasn't until they were married and living together that Kim Kardadhian realized that they were on two different planes and that their relationship was not going to last.
Humphries on the other hand claims he was scammed by the Kardashian starlet, and that it was a publicity stunt. He does not want a divorce but rather, an annulment, on the account of fraud.
Because of tbe dispute, divorce vs, annulment, the two are tied up in court. Until it becomes resvolved, their wagons will be hitched. Sorry Kanye!

It took director Abhishek Kapoor 3 years to turn Chetan Bhagat's novel 'The 3 mistakes of my life' into the movie 'Kai Po Che'. Chetan Bhagat was really impressed by the on-screen interpretation of his book. Though he has co-written the screenplay of the movie, Chetan Bhagat made a statement at the trailer launch event saying that the movie is better than his book.

42 A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing the man of God twenty barley loaves made from the first fruits, and fresh grain in the ear. "Give it to the people to eat," Elisha said.
43 But his servant objected, "How can I set this before a hundred men?" "Give it to the people to eat," Elisha insisted. "For thus says the LORD, 'They shall eat and there shall be some left over.'"
44 And when they had eaten, there was some left over, as the LORD had said.

When the Xbox One Kinect Sensor does its initial scan, it may interpret a piece of furniture, a lamp, or another prominent object in its field of view as a player. The preview window will display the object with a gamertag name next to it, instead of a person with the gamertag.
If your Kinect sensor does select an inanimate object as a player, you'll want to move the object out of the sensor's field of view (if that's practical) or recalibrate the Kinect sensor.

A spokesperson for his friend and collaborator Rob Base confirms the death of the 'It Takes Two' fame, but the cause of death is not revealed.
Rodney Bryce a.k.a. DJ E-Z Rock, who is popular with his 1988's song "It Takes Two" with Rob Base, passed away on Sunday, April 27 at the age of 46. According to Rolling Stone, his death was confirmed by a spokesperson for Base. The cause of death was not revealed.
Base additionally took to Facebook to share the sad news. "R.I.P. Skip (DJ EZ Rock) friends since 4Th grade I'm really going to miss you," he wrote. Other hip-hop artists also mourned Rock's death on social media. "R.I.P. to EZ Rock from Rob Base and EZ Rock. You will truly be missed," Biz Markie tweeted.
"We Have Lost Our Very Own From Harlem NYC & The Hip-Hop Culture Our Brother DJ E-Z Rock. Rest In Peace," DJ Red Alert added, while DJ Scratch shared an old photo of the duo on his Instagram.
Rock and Base became friends when they were kids. The duo then released their first project "DJ Interview" in 1986, but they only became popular following the release of "It Takes Two" which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Songs chart. The song was sampled in the works of some stars such as Snoop Dogg, Ciara and Girl Talk. It was also featured in Sandra Bullock's comedy flick "The Proposal".

Also out prayers should go out to James Jones and his family as his cousin was way too young to pass away. There's been too many deaths related to Pacers players in the last year or so . Hopefully James can get through this and he does have to right group of players around him to help him out.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

All prayers should also go out to Derrick McKey, whose mother just passed away this week.

In the clip for "Bedtime Stories", Adam Sandler's Skeeter Bronson wins over Guy Pearce's Kendall in what is called as "Zero Gravity" fight and thus is elected as the new leader of the planet.
A new clip providing a peek into the "Zero Gravity" scene of the Christmas-released comedy-adventure-fantasy flick, "Bedtime Stories," has just been unveiled. The more-than-two-minute clip shows its leading cast Adam Sandler's Skeeter Bronson telling a space story to his niece and nephew, all of whom, unexpectedly, have different ending in mind to his.
Skeeter, as seen in the beginning of the clip, twists a basket ball on his finger as an example of the moving universe when he begins telling his story to the kids. As the scene rolling on, Skeeter is shown fighting with Kendall, played by Guy Pearce, in what is called as "Zero Gravity" fight in a bid to win the title of the new leader of the planet.
As for his version, Skeeter tells the kids he wins over Kendall and so is elected at the new leader of the planet. However, the kids do not agree with him as they think the ending of his story is too obvious to guess and Patrick suggests it would be better if Skeeter catches on fire.

YORK golfer George Forder may have lost out on the main prize, but he still emblazoned his name across the pages of the city's golf history.
The Fulford Golf Club ace, York Union champion two years ago, came agonisingly close to lifting the York Rose Bowl at the competition's immaculate host base, York GC.
Forder was only toppled at the second play-off hole by Jamie Harrison of Rotherham GC.
But on a superb day of scoring, the not so scant consolation was Forder was that he posted a new course record 64 at the Strensall-based circuit, ironically besting the previous lowest score which was set in the inaugural Rose Bowl of 35 years ago by Sheffield player I McKenzie, who also set the two-round tournament record of 135 at the same time.
Forder's fantastic achievement proved a fitting celebration of the 35th anniversary of a tournament, which is regarded as one of the premier events on the York calendar and which also carries Yorkshire Order of Merit status.
Prepared by new head green-keeper Michael Rogers and his team, the course was in superb condition, boosted by a short rain storm at the outset of the tournament. That helped to soften the greens enough to enable competitors to attack even the most exacting of pin positions.
Evidence of sharp scoring quickly flared with a dozen players below the par-70 score, including two on 67, after the morning round.
Harrison, who had shot a 69, just had to navigate the 18th in par to not only equal the course record 65 but also set a new 36-hole Rose Bowl best of 134.
A fine drive, followed by an even better approach, and two solid putts yielded the new record two-round low.
Forder was in even more searing afternoon form. Four-under-par in the first nine holes, he birdied the 12th, but another birdie for a 64 proved elusive over the next five holes, all parred.
But that changed, again on the closing hole. A masterful drive, matched by an approach, left him a 15-foot putt, which he duly sank to eclipse the existing record and equal the new tournament best set by Harrison.
When the applause finally quelled, Forder and Harrison started the play-off, both parring the first extra hole.
Nerves started to take hold and needing a three-footer to halve the second, Forder's shot slipped agonisingly by.
Harrison won, but Forder joined him in the record books.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Resident Evil' started by DarkBlood999, Feb 19, 2012.
Do people really not have this board bookmarked?
I don't really have anything bookmarked on this computer, because it's my moms. And I usually remember all the URL's to sites I frequent, or just navigate through the site to get where I wanna go. I used to just have to click on 'all boards' and my faves would pop up, but noooooooooo.....not anymore
You could google Resident Evil Board IGN and it will be the first link in the list.
Oh don't worry my bf and I are pretty much on the same page about the wedding stuff. We'd rather spend the money on a decent house than a huge wedding.
Thanks for the advice surprise. I do want our immediate family there and I wouldn't mind a few friends - just do not want to deal with the stress of planning something huge - life is stressful enough and spending 20 grand on a party isn't something I'm particularly interested in.
I have the board bookmarked now, but it was easier before just to type in boards.ign.com and click on it from there.
The old CT is now migrated over here...2 CTs? This is madness!
So why can't I view my favorite boards list on the main board page? Why can't I find my home boards at all on the boards lists? Still missing Silent Hill.
Why am I not a mod anymore?
Those are all questions inquiring minds want to know Seth.
The new board index has no easy way to find the all game boards main section. Highly annoying.
Soon as I get home (I'm in my iPhone now) I'll take care of it.
The right to be a mod… that right is now mine! Or will be one day. You'll see…
Welcome aboard.
Still not a mod and still lost. Homer has yet to even get back to me
Paul Mercier is NOT voicing Leon in ORC… I could almost cry… I just want to know WHY Capcom felt possessed to get rid of him. Just WHY?
Might have wanted to get a younger-sounding VA, or maybe Mercier was busy. Anyway its not like they haven't changed Leon's VA before.
I hate this layout. I just deleted my post, because I thought it was a double post.
What happened? This is horrible. Classic theme was ten times more easy and organized. I blame Facebook for this. IGN needs to stop trying to cash in on the giant cesspool of websites trying to establish a social networking site. Stop. Just ****ing stop.
My icon. The community has only 160 posts. This is horrible. My and the boards history feels like it's been savaged.
And they classify me as a noob? Those sons of bitches.
That's my biggest beef right there. How the hell do I get rid of that? Do I need to be a mod to put something witty there?
Greetings everybody. I am clearly a new user here. Hello.
There's a classic theme on here, zero.
The "n00b" title has to do with the number of posts you have on here. There's really no way to get rid of it...
I'm need to reintroduce myself on the new RE board.
I'm shocked you've never played those games. Right up your alley. Talk about tension.
I like how instead of using this thread for its intended purpose, we just start going off topic in other threads.
I just didn't want to look like a newbie to the CT.
Thinking the exact same thing. Meh. Those threads sucked anyway.
Hey now. My thread gave you the opportunity to own Gino!
It took some time to find this board on the beta.
The RE board has been my homepage for the last decade, so it's never been a problem for me.
I added this board to my favorites menu days ago.
I always considered you as Noob Saibot.
What's up, all? Anyone do anything fun today? I went out for a few hours earlier, but been just lazing around the place since I got home. Finishing up Saints Row 2 (long story I got the double pack last year but just started playing in December), pretty much right until ME3 comes out. I do plan on playing Saints Row 3, but I hear it's short so I might just go the pre-owned route.
Alladin is on ABC family. I still <3 that movie.
My brother bought SR3 with money he got from Christmas, and it is indeed a short game. Fun, but short.
You still play SWTOR? I need to add you as a friend on my Jedi; really hope they let you add friends who are offline soon. >_<
I went and saw The Grey with Liam Neeson in theaters today. SO good, and profoundly affecting. This movie reminded me how good it feels to be alive and safe. When I left the theater, there were hundreds of birds flying over me perfectly lit by the sunset. I just stood there and appreciated it. Great day.
Yeah Chad I'm still playing, been focusing on getting my IA to 50 - just hit that and am finishing up Corellia. Not really looking forward to the PVP grind so you'll probably see me on your server a bit more soon.
Yo, yo, yo. Check it.
So I just finished watching Hot Fuzz, and I'm going to start a run of RE2 (LeonB/00/Scenario 2nd). Now, I have a few Budweiser's in me, but Leon gets a shotgun and magnum (plus, there's a delicious pizza next to me), so I think this will be pretty fun.
Also, Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie.
EDIT: The Grey is the ****.
The Lion King is the best Disney movie ever IMO, but Aladdin is second.
The PvP grind isn't all that bad if you pick up the daily/weekly quests at the Fleet. Completing the daily quests (one for winning 3 warzones, the other for killing 30 players in Ilum PvP) nets you a choice of a Champion's Bag or a case (cases are for high valor level players, so you'd probably want the bag) which gives you a bunch of commendations as well as a chance for a token to turn in for a piece of gear (similar to the Tier tokens from WoW). Doing the weekly quests nets you three bags/cases.
Atlantis:The Lost Empire was one of my favorite Disney's films.
For me its a toss-up between The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King because its just an amazing movie, and Beauty and the Beast because it was the first movie I ever saw in the theaters (my mom took me).
I'm not saying that the Lion King isn't a great movie, but it's still a shameless rip-off of Osamu Tezuka's "Kimba the White Lion".
Aladdin & The Lion King. Two best things to come out of Disney's vagina.
But...but it's still wrong!
I'm using it right now, I found it shortly after reading through a lot of the thread. For a brief moment I thought I could get it back to where it was, but I suppose there are some complicated logistics to keeping the classic original layout active. I assume nobody would be using this new crap then, as the last theme was much better.
EDIT: I still have to modify my icon. Damn it. Any tips on getting rid of that white background?
Do you have the source image so that it can be made into a bigger icon?
I've played the first Siren, but was unable to play the second because it never released in the US sadly. Just recently I saw the walkthrough for Blood Curse and I was really impressed by it. I wish they did the same thing to Siren 2.
Doesn't every thread offer up that?
What's with all the Nu-Disney love?
I realize Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Lion King are good films but Disney made great stuff before the 90s ya know.
You just can't beat the classics for me.
And damn I love this new board style.
Peter Pan was Disney right? If so my vote probably goes to that, it was so awesome when I was younger.
The glitches these boards get are really annoying.
Lion King was on today too, I caught the end of it.
No doubt there were some great movies prior to the 90s but those are just the ones that happened to be on this weekend, probably because they released them from their disney vault or w/e.
Have Disney completely stop making 2D animated films and replaced them with Pixar.
Spoilers for the latest episode of The Walking Dead:
Now that was a good episode. Definitely one of the better ones.
Disney's a shell of what it once was. I seen the Frog Princess when it came out and that was the closest thing that resembled a traditional movie in a long time.
The Walking Dead Spoiler
And I wonder where the rest of the group was hiding this episode. You only seen the relevant characters, which is odd considering there's not very many places for them to go around the farm.
Thanks wiseartman for the updated icon.
And just because I don't post on THIS board doesn't mean my posting is nonexistent, AMBER. If it was nonexistent I wouldn't be making the MU limits each month...

Choose Your Own Microadventure
Grab a map. Close your eyes. Point. Go!
If stories are the currency of a life well lived, then Alastair Humphreys is a wealthy chap! The last time that we heard from him he had just returned from trekking across Iceland (by foot and inflatable packraft). However his latest epic tale is not about any superhuman feat of endurance and more importantly it involves YOU, a beer-can stove and a bivvy bag—read on to find out how you can enter the Summer Solstice Microadventure Challenge and win awesome prizes!
Al dreamt up the idea for 'microadventures' with the aim of democratising the spirit of adventure and to inspire people to regain a childlike enjoyment of wild places. Think of them as refresh buttons for busy lives—short bursts of meaningful, uncomfortable, challenging madness that will teach you something about the world and yourself. If you think you're too tired, too broke or too stressed for an adventure, then you're the perfect candidate! All you really require is bags of enthusiasm and boundless curiosity.
"You do not need to fly to the other side of the planet to undertake an expedition. You do not need to be an elite athlete, expertly trained or rich to have an adventure. Adventure is only a state of mind."
—Alastair Humphreys
Al is now running his third annual Summer Solstice Microadventure Challenge, here's how you can get involved:
Step 1. Get inspired—check out the ideas, stories and resources below, then choose your own microadventure!
Step 2. Grab a map. Close Your Eyes. Point. Go—Be as creative as you can, the only unofficial 'rule' is that your microadventure should entail sleeping out in the wild for at least one night (tents are cheating).
Step 3. Document your microadventure—take photographs at every opportunity, keep a journal and share your story on Maptia. If you already have a Maptia profile then just contribute your story in the usual manner—if not then send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to skip the queue and receive a Maptia invite asap!
Step 4. Win awesome prizes—share your microadventure story mentioning @Maptia @Al_Humphreys and #microadventure on Twitter and we'll pass it on to Al who is also offering some excellent prizes from Mountain Equipment, Osprey,Kammok and Harper Collins. And as a final bonus—to get a free waterproof ordinance survey map tweet this to @Myminimap here!
The top three microadventure stories told on Maptia (chosen by us) will also be featured both on our homepage and the winning microadventurers will also receive copies of Al's new microadventure book and the three runners up will receive digital interactive copies of the book.
The competition deadline ends at precisely bedtime on June 30th!
1 | Under a Harvest Moon
Returning to somewhere you know very well, but this time at night. A full moon casts enough light to walk by and is a beautiful time to explore.
Read the story here.
"The harvest moon is my second favourite kind of full moon. Yes, I really did just write that sentence."
2. Mountain Microadventure
A triathlon of microadventures—mountain biking across the Isle of Skye to the sea, paddling over the sea to the mountains, and then climbing along the Cuillin Ridge.
Read the story here.
"Do it for the doing, not for the praise of others. And don't be put off trying big stuff by the fear of failure."
3. Walking a Lap of the M25
Walking a lap of the M25 London ring road—trudging through deep snow, wild camping, fence jumping, bacon butties and a shopping trolley.
Read the story here.
"We deliberately had no real plan. We carried just one map, a large scale one that showed the whole M25."
1. A comprehensive kit list and everything you need to know about a Bivvy bag.
2. How to find a suitable microadventure location.
3. Legality and safety of sleeping in the wild.
4. A recipe for the ultimate microadventure stew.
5. How to make a beer can stove (a valuable life skill)
6. Tips for photographing your microadventure.
7. Find everything on Al's blog or in his new microadventure book.
One final reminder—you have until June 30th to go on your microadventure and submit your story so don't dilly dally—get out there this weekend and above all have fun!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/7/2011 (2231 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Red River College (Venue 11), to July 22
After decades of probing the human psyche, retired Winnipeg psychologist-turned-playwright Bruce Sarbit delves into one man's existential search for national, individual and spiritual identity.
That man is Basque educator, philosopher and writer Miguel de Unamuno, who played an important role in the intellectual life of his beloved Spain.
In this meaty piece of documentary theatre, Sarbit distills from de Unamuno's life and writings a poetic monologue about the final days of his house arrest in 1936 during the early days of the Spanish Civil War, and his insatiable hunger for immortality.
Winnipeg stage veteran Harry Nelken (who also co-directs with Brian Richardson) delivers a powerful, passionate performance, bringing life to a script in which not a word is wasted. At 55 minutes, this is dense fringe fare and obviously won't fit everyone's definition of entertainment.
— Carolin Vesely
From the official Fringe Festival program:
'Spain. The Civil War. Having angered the Fascists, outspoken philosopher Miguel de Unamuno is placed under house arrest. His burning concern: Will he be remembered when he dies?
An all-Winnipeg endeavour: By Bruce Sarbit, featuring Brian Richardson as Unamuno, with Harry Nelken in his directorial debut.
"Look for me now so that I shall tremble within you."

Office hours for this class are Wednesdays 7:30 AM to 12:00PM, or by appointment, in Monteith 318.
A second edition of the book is now available. You may still use the first edition without much loss. The study guide is not available online anymore, but you may find a copy from previous students. The second edition has some added material that is covered by supplementary material that you can download below.
I also use this textbook for undergraduates in Intermediate Macroeconomics, but only cover part of the textbook. In this class, I expect to cover most of it, including the mathematical appendices, plus various other tidbits from elsewhere. Thus I will not assume much knowledge about macroeconomics, but I will assume that you know the following: derivations, logarithms, maximization, variance and correlation, basic matrix operations. You should know the basic definitions of macroeconomic aggregates and national accounts.
The course will cover the principles of modern, micro-founded macroeconomics. We will do a lot of graphical analysis complemented with solving the corresponding systems of equations. We will cover basically five parts: the growth model, the business cycle model, money, the open economy and overlapping generations. The last topic is not in the textbook, and we may only introduce it. So be prepared for an intensive semester...

Another Small Stream Surprise!
I hit the same stream today that I caught the 20" trout in yesterday. Knowing that it does hold some bigger fish my hopes were elevated but I would have been perfectly happy catching the average 6-10" fish this stream usually produces. I hiked about a mile and a half upstream to a section I have not fished before.
Throughout the day I caught around 20 browns up to 14" and was having a great time. It was getting late but I wanted to fish a couple more holes before calling it a day when this fish hit. I was using a medium action 7'-6" 4 weight rod with the same Slumpbuster pattern I used yesterday. Not quite as big as the 20" fish but still very unusual for this stream. I have spent many days fishing this stream and never caught anything close to this size. I can hardly believe I caught two fish on this stream, in this range on consecutive days.
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
great fish for sure! looks like he's had a rough life too!
thanks for sharing
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
nice catch pab, on both days.
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
That's just great, man! What a surprise, fishing a stream that you thought you knew and all of a sudden you unlock a secret. Now I am really curious, but won't ask...is it in your area, though?
Did you post a picture of the 20" from the day before?
-- Nevermind, I found the beast from the day before...now I am really curious!! Time to scour my maps...
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
Thanks guys!
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
Are they spawning now? That will bring the big trout up into skinny water.
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------
I found this dead brown on the stream a couple days ago. The stream was iced up last week which I believe caused the marks on it. I put my boot next to it for scale. Its about 18".
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
Re: Another Small Stream Surprise!
Looks like the brown was suffering from a rather lethal case of frostbite... Otherwise, looks like you're currently living the life! Keep the photos coming, i haven't got a chance to fish in a good few days and its killing me!

In an age where even the mundane task of opening email exposes millions of people to garish pornography, it's becoming increasingly difficult to shock theatre audiences with depictions of sex and nudity.
Puppetry Of The Penis? Ho-hum. Famous TV stars getting their gear off in The Blue Room? Yawn. Genital mutilation at the Melbourne Festival? Pass the Minties. We've seen it all really.
But acclaimed Spanish company La Fura dels Baus begs to disagree and its controversial new show XXX looks set to bring about a revival of red faces and uncomfortable squirming when it premieres in Sydney next month.
Based on the Marquis de Sade's 1795 work Philosophy In The Boudoir, XXX is likely to be the most sexually confrontational piece of theatre ever to be performed on these shores.
The show's four actors are frequently nude, engage in explicit simulated sex acts with each other and, apparently, audience members, while on-stage video screens display uncensored hard-core pornography.
But after almost two years of international touring and positive reactions from nearly 500,000 people, the woman behind XXX wonders if the show goes far enough.
"In the beginning there was a big question mark over the show because we wanted to tour for two or two-and-a-half years and it might not have been accepted by the audience," said Valentina Carrasco, who came up with the initial idea and helped to write the piece.
"But we were so surprised about how well it has been accepted we thought we must have done something wrong.
"People were not as astonished as we thought - we thought it was too soft."
One of the ideas seriously considered by Carrasco and La Fura dels Baus was to employ porn actors to perform actual sex on stage. But the prospect of being banned from many international festivals and theatres quickly put an end to those plans.
"We don't have real sex on stage but it looks like it," she said. "We use tricks and they're quite good."
Even so, XXX managed to cause a predictable tabloid outrage in England, with lurid headlines about the "porno play" outraging the morals of the country's upstanding citizens.
The show's Australian producer Rodney Rigby stressed there was far more to XXX than those sort of headlines suggested and said there would be no lurid marketing campaigns to try and sell the show to local audiences.
Rigby said XXX was a serious piece of adults-only theatre dealing with the issue of pornography and what is acceptable in society.
"I don't think you can be exploitative about theatre," he said. "I always think it blows up in your face.
"This is a piece of great theatre conducted with a variety of media and dealing with an important issue, but you can't really discuss porn without including sex.
"We all laughed about the third actor in The Blue Room and gave it the tick of acceptance but the reality can be gritty and can be erotic and can be provocative."
Carrasco said it was the duty of theatrical companies to occasionally shock and confront.
"We're not the first to have naked actors and to talk about sexual matters," she said. "But we have this porn aesthetic throughout the play, it puts the audience in the position of the voyeur.
"People are used to seeing these things in sex shops, in the movies, or on TV, but not in the common space of the theatre. People are sharing an experience openly that they usually don't share."
XXX opens at the Enmore Theatre on February 25. Tickets through Ticketek. Phone: 9266 4015.

Sockadelic Socks by Corrina Ferguson

I held the socks up to my son for his approval. He said, "Cool! What are they called?" I told him I had no idea. He beamed. "They're sockadelic!" And so the sockadelic socks were named. After that, what else could you call them? On these socks, a modified k2, p1 rib flows into the wavy chevron pattern that is strong enough to stand up against this wonderfully bright and crazy yarn. The purl ridges break up any pooling and stand out like little ruffles. Instructions are written for magic loop, but this can easily be worked on dpns as well.

Guy in the AT&T U-Verse Commercials Revealed [VIDEO]
Who is that guy in the AT&T commercials asking preschoolers to decide which is better, faster or slower? Bigger or Smaller? Doing two things at once or just one? After an exhaustive search that literally took a few intense minutes searching the depths of Google (I'm really out of shape), I have found the answer!
If you enjoy totally worthless knowledge that will benefit your life in no way, shape, or form, the internet is a great place. Specifically, the Internet Movie Database, or as those in the know call it, imdb.com. I have their app on both my phone and my iPad for those times when I see and actor or actress and think, "They look familiar, where have I seen them before."
While it works great for movies, TV shows, and even video games, the downside to IMDB is it doesn't offer much in finding the name of actors or actresses that star in commercials. For that info, your best bet is Google (or check back here and I'll have it for you).
Now then, on to the big reveal. The man playing the deadpan, straight man to the preschoolers wacky, funny guy is Beck Bennett. A 28-year old up and coming comedic actor who has been in a number of independent movies, runs his own YouTube channel (who doesn't these days) featuring a recurring bit called "Theater of Life" where he and buddy named, "Eric" simply narrate what they see, and is one of the founders of the "Good Neighbor" comedy troupe who recently turned in pilot to Comedy Central called, "The Good Neighbor Show" about a local late night talk show that is falling apart.
So there you go. Now you can amaze your friends with knowledge they probably didn't want in the first place.
Watch Beck and the kids in action.

Like so much of his work, it's not the idea so much as the execution that counts. The head served on a platter is something of a cliche, but the impact of the photo comes from the details. Arranging the many small items that fill the tray, then the flatware, the lamp, salt and pepper shakers, tablecloth, etc., must have taken a lot of time and care.

And the point of this study was what??? To show that children with chronic illnesses have higher admission rates than healthy children with acute illnesses? That was a waste of research money! What's next on the evidence base horizon: children with average height have parents of average height?.
Terri Shannon-Renfro
If chronic illness of children is on the rise, reasons for this should be the next study prompted by these findings. Examinations of diet and lifestyle factors should be considered. The rise in rates of childhood obesity alone would support that a rise in chronic illness would follow. That coupled with a rise in inflammation that is often concurrent with obesity could also factor in..

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I've never been a letter-of-the-law type person. I prefer the spirit of the law (and in the night). In most aspects of life, I'll advocate for self-imposed community standards over one-size-fits-all edicts.Along similar lines, give me a news story and I want to understand the real meaning behind what it says. How does it matter on the ground, in my life, in the lives of others and in the broad sectors of society concerned with the specific issue? So when every news and entertainment organization in America reports, for instance, that Netflix (NFLX) Is In Talks With Cable, I refuse to accept the claim on blind faith. And when every other media outlet in America runs with the headline, Container Store (TCS) IPO Doubles, I don't take the lead literally. Because, in the retail trenches where most investors roam, the Container Store IPO did not double. Of course, these are similar soul-sucking trenches where investors had their heads handed to them on the Facebook ( FB) IPO. It's easy to exonerate regulators on the FB IPO when you consider things in your rearview mirror. If the investors who got suckered into buying shares the day the stock opened only would've hung on. They'd be rich! Or something like that. But, that sort of talk gets to the heart of the matter -- folks who bought FB at the open or thereabouts on May 18, 2012, weren't buying Facebook the company. They were buying a lottery ticket. A chance at the type of double the media loves to hype so hard. If investors were buying the company it would not have mattered what price they paid for their shares. Buy. Hold. Check back in 18 months, which proves to have been the proper strategy. If you recall, at the time of the Facebook IPO everybody was freaking out about the company's mobile miss and its subsequent ability to monetize the platform. But that concern didn't stop people, including quite a few folks who don't normally invest, from participating. Hope, fueled by familiarity with Facebook and media hype, was their investment thesis. They didn't read the Facebook S-1 filing much of the media even chose to ignore. And when the stock tanked, many folks underwater on the shares did the perfect sane and logical thing, getting out of the game for good. Now, fresh off of a "double" for Container Store shares, we have Twitter set to fire. As of this writing, I'll join Mike Isaac of All Things D to discuss the IPO ahead of Thursday's opening trade at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time on CNBC's "Squawk Box." A media-fueled dynamic, not the same, but similar to what we saw with Facebook, is at play with Twitter. As Twitter raises its IPO offering price, the media tells us this situation is so different from Facebook's. In fact, we all, apparently, learned a lesson from Facebook! Complete joke. And then there's this notion of a "double" for TCS.

Heaven by Deborah Mitchell Bee Venom Mask Reviews
Alive, fresh & plump.I personally have never been into taking care of my skin, until a friend introduced me to the Heaven range. The been venom is one the the five Heaven products that I use and it's fantastic. I wear a thin layer under my makeup on a daily basis and love it. My skin feels fresh, clean and vibrant - I have noticed a significant difference in my skin since using these products, the Skin Polish (Triple Strength) actually removed my pigment so now I have more confidence too. — 4 years, 6 months agoceliahampton | 1 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Not much snow, about 4" and changing to rain, in the Mid Coast near the Sheepscot River. The temp is 34.5*F and going up. The wind is strong out of the East South East at about 35 to 40 knots and gusting higher.
I just manually closed the Baro on the flue pipe, to add more coal, and the manometer shot up to -.12 WC. We have not lost power yet... but I am sure that will be next.

It was August and we were staying at a wonderful hotel called "Iberostar Málaga Playa", in Torrox-Costa, Málaga.
We all wanted to go out of the hotel and go somewhere, so my father thought we could go to Mini Hollywood. Everybody liked the idea so we went - my Mom, Dad, sister, Granddad and me. But first we had to rent a car. The journey was two hours and it was very hot and we all felt a little bit ill by the time we arrived.
When we arrived, we could not find a parking place so we had to squeeze the car in next to a little outhouse. The queue was very long and we were all very thirsty. As my dad was at the counter, my sister and I looked at the lovely view
As we walked through the first bit of the Mini Hollywood, we took loads of photos. At the entrance there were two large cannons.
The first thing you could see was the CITY BANK, then we walked through the cactus garden. There were so many types of cacti - big and small ones, old and younger ones.
After the cactus garden we walked through the city; they had real bars and also had a fire station. You could also see the stables that had real horses, and they all looked nice and healthy. There were people riding the horses too, and the riders had cowboy suits on. They had a small jail with two beds and an office.
We all wanted to look around the zoo so we went first to see the tigers. Then we looked at all types of animals, birds, bears and cats.
But at one point my Granddad did not feel that well, I think he was dehydrated so we had to get him a drink and put him into the shade. Whilst my parents looked after Granddad, my sister and I went to watch the parrot show. The parrots were very clever and although my sister and I could not speak Spanish, we could understand it in a way. The crowd was always clapping and joining in. The parrots could ride a bicycle, count and lots more stuff.
After that we went in the bat cave. We had to walk along a small path under the ground and a recording told us all about the bats. Then almost at the end of the path, the bats were there. They had lots of space and there were only a few bats in there. They all had small, red eyes.
Sadly, we could not go in the pool, because we wanted to see the cowboy show. Before the show started you could look around and see how many people were there - so many people! Everybody stood around the show area. The show was fantastic; it was exiting, fun and very clever. Even some horses were in the show.
I do not know how they trained the horses, but they did it very well. It was like a desert and we did have to buy drinks all the time, but apart from that it was a very nice day out. But I must say it would be too much for a child under 5 years old. Sadly we did not know that they had some white tigers, so we missed them.
The trip back to the hotel was better than getting there. Driving back I could see much more of Spain, I saw some mandarins growing on trees.
All in all we all had a great day, but next time we will leave earlier and maybe take a coach. Also we will either take more drinks or we will go at a different time of year – it was very hot in August!

M¹Boom, World Saxophone Quartet at Birdland
Nearly three decades have passed since that glorious 1981 evening, when an audience of three thousand gathered in the cathedral of St. John the Divine to hear what Max Roach called a "Grand Collaboration": a concert by M'Boom and the World Saxophone Quartet. For those who were there and those who weren't, this "Great Collaboration" is an eagerly anticipated sequel, an event that promises to get 2010 off to a roaring start. This time, the two legendary ensembles convene for a week at Birdland, January 19-23. Roach founded M'Boom in 1970, as the first ensemble consisting entirely of Western and non-Western percussion instruments, ranging from vibraphone, marimba, and tympani to steel drums, timbales, and glockenspiels. M'Boom, which has numbered as many as 10 players, now includes three of its founding member, Joe Chambers, Warren Smith, and Ray Mantilla, along with Eli Fountain, and Steve Barrios. The World Saxophone Quartet, founded in 1976, is the most celebrated saxophone ensemble in jazz history, and is made up of three founding members: David Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, and Oliver Lake, plus James Carter in the seat originally occupied by Julius Hemphill. These two ensembles fuse together with an almost mystical cohesion, intensity, and flat-out joy.
M'Boom was the brainchild of Max Roach, the late percussionist, visionary, and seminal figure of modern jazz. In 1970, Roach gathered notable drummers and percussionists to explore and compose for the myriad instruments in the percussion family and named the group "M'Boom." M'Boom (pronounced 'em-boom) has a double meaning: it is an onomatopoeia, or "sound word" that sounds like the object of description – boom, pow, crack, etc.; M'Boom is also the name of a secret order of drummers in northern Senegal. Beginning in September 1970, M'Boom learned every category and combination of percussion. After Max Roach's death in 2007 and the death of three other members, Joe Chambers, Warren Smith, and Ray Mantilla vowed to carry on M'Boom's vision.
Steve Berrios is considered by his peers to be one of the top Latin jazz drummers, and has recorded and toured with Mongo Santamaria, Randy Weston, Tito Puente, Paquito D'Rivera, Michael Brecker, Grover Washington Jr., Ray Barretto, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Hilton Ruiz, Leon Thomas, La Lupe, Miriam Makeba, Celia Cruz, Nancy Wilson, Kathleen Battle, and with his own group Son Bachéch. His second CD, "And Then Some," recorded with Son Bachéche on Milestone Records, was nominated for a Grammy in 1996.
Joe Chambers has recorded more than 500 albums and CDs. He has performed and recorded with Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, Andrew Hill, and more. Chambers' credits include Hubbard's "Breaking Point," Hutcherson's "Components," Shorter's "Schizophrenia." and "Etcetera," Hill's "Compulsion," Tyner's "Tender Moments," Archie Shepp's "New Thing at Newport," Charles Mingus' "Like a Bird," Chick Corea's "Tones for Joan's Bones," and others. Chambers' compositions have been covered by Hutcherson, Hubbard and M'Boom; he has also contributed to soundtracks for several Spike Lee films, including "Mo' Better Blues." Chambers is the first Thomas S. Kenan Distinguished Professor of Jazz in the Department of Music at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
Eli Fountain joined M'Boom in 1981. He has performed with Muhal Richard Abrams, the Temptations, Aretha, Franklin, and Geri Allen. His compositions include the percussion ballet "Play," written for New York's Complexions Dance Company.
Ray Mantilla entered the international spotlight in 1960 with flutist Herbie Mann, and later embarked on a series of tours with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. In 1977, Mantilla became the first North American Latin musician to play in Cuba since the Cuban Revolution. He has recorded on more than 200 albums. Some of his credits include Max Roach, Charles Mingus, Ray Barretto, Gato Barbieri, Sonny Stitt, Bobby Watson, Herbie Mann, Tito Puente, Cedar Walton, and Freddie Hubbard. In 2003, Mantilla signed with Savant Records and released "Man-Ti-Ya." In 2007 he was voted best percussionist by the Jazz Journalist Association. His latest CD is 'Good Vibrations on the Sarvant label.
Warren I. Smith has performed extensively in the studio and on Broadway, recording and performing with Dionne Warwick, Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, and Aretha Franklin. He began teaching at Adelphi University in 1969 and at the State University of New York in Old Westbury from 1971-1996.
World Saxophone Quartet
The World Saxophone Quartet were founded in 1976 after the four original members accepted an offer by Ed Jordan, the chairman of the music department at Southern University in New Orleans, to conduct a series of clinics and performances with and without a local rhythm section. The enthusiastic audience response to the unaccompanied saxophones convinced the musicians to develop the concept, and in 1977, the band recorded their first album, the almost completely improvised effort "Point of No Return" on the Moers Music label. The WSQ places consistently in the top five groups in DownBeat's annual Critic's Poll, and in 1987 was voted "Best Jazz Group" in the Playboy Readers Poll. Cited as one of that year's top ten jazz albums by Francis Davis of the Philadelphia Inquirer, their Nonesuch release "Dances and Ballads" "equals their previous best efforts," according to DownBeat, and "contains several new pieces that may someday be considered among the Quartet's classics."
Hamiet Bluiett (baritone sax, alto clarinet) has performed with the Black Artists Group, the Gateway Symphony, Charles Mingus, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the American Jazz Orchestra, led by John Lewis.
James Carter (saxophones, flute, and bass clarinet), a multiple DownBeat poll winner, is the recipient of one of America's highest cultural awards: the Dr. Alaine Locke Award, given annually to individuals who have provided exemplary service and leadership in the promotion of African American culture. Carter's groups include a traditional quartet, electric group, organ trio, and the World Saxophone Quartet. His CDs include "The Real Quietstorm," "Layin' in the Cut," "Chasin' the Gypsy," "Out of Nowhere," and "Gold Sounds."
Oliver Lake (alto sax, tenor sax, soprano sax, flute) received professional encouragement from trumpeter Lester Bowie. After teaching at the American Center for Artists and Students in Paris and studying at the Electronic Workshop, he moved to New York in 1976 and is currently leading his own highly stylized funk-reggae group Jump Up, as well as a jazz quartet. He is also a published poet.
David Murray (tenor sax, bass clarinet) has recorded as a leader with a trio, a quartet, an octet and a big band, with a style is rooted in, but not confined to, the work of John Coltrane, Ben Webster, R&D and Sonny Rollins.

HOUSTON - A special surprise came for a little boy battling a life-threatening disease Wednesday.
In December, 5-year-old George was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma and has been forced to stay at home while he receives treatment.
But George got a special surprise on Wednesday, when the Harlem Globetrotters showed up at his house, and he even got to shoot some hoops with the players.
"They can spin the ball on their hand and kick it in," George said.
The Globetrotters are in Houston for three games at Reliant Arena on Saturday and Sunday. During that time, they'll be making other special visits like this one in the community.

Welcome to my interpretation of the twelve signs of the Western Zodiac. Fifteen little babies have helped bring these signs to life in their own charming way, and I hope you will find joy in recognizing your own start sign (and it's various attributes) within the collection.
