|Chloe's Bedroom
|Madsen Household, Arcadia Bay
|Appears in:
|Episode 1: Chrysalis
Episode 3: Chaos Theory
Episode 4: Dark Room
Chloe's bedroom is located upstairs above the garage in the Madsen Household. The room is rundown, and chaotic as Chloe herself. It reflects Chloe's life change in the last five years, and reveals a lot about her personality and mental state. The room is adorned with posters, graffiti, trash and old junk. Chloe's written graffiti on the walls, there are lots of empty beer bottles and various amounts of junk on the floor. There are also a lot of mementos of Max, William and Rachel.
Notable Items Edit
- CD Player - See below for more.
- Laptop - Used in the investigation in episode four (See here for more).
- TV - Max notes that this used to be in the living room.
- Snow Globe - Max can break this in episode one by checking the box on the top shelf by the closet.
- Grade Papers - Max can also sneak a peek at Chloe's grades if she's broken the snow globe.
- Drawers - Max can examine Chloe's new punk-rock clothing range by opening these.
- Closet - Max is able to hide here in episode one by moving the lamp out of place after rewinding.
- Desk - Max can use the tiny tools she collects here in order to attempt fixing her camera.
- The Lock Box - Under Chloe's bed, this contains items relating to Rachel Amber.
- The Cabinet Drawers - In here are cute mementos from Chloe and Max's childhood, such as drawings and their old cellphones.
- Old Suitcase - Chloe is messy, and leaves an old suitcase filled with beer bottles in the corner by her bed.
The Walls Edit
Chloe's room is particularly visual in the game, mainly attributed to the craziness of the walls she has plastered with items over the years. There are many hidden extras to be found among the posters.
Chloe kept a height chart as a child, which she kept with her father, William. After his death, Chloe tarnished the record, scratching out the heights with saying such as "Dad's Gone", showcasing her anger and frustration at the loss of her father.
The Eye of Providence features on the wall of Chloe's room next to the window. Within the game, this is a sign of Max gaining insight into something she would never have seen if not for her saving Chloe at the beginning of the game. If Chloe had died she would never have seen the bedroom with Chloe in it, and never experienced the time spent within the room.
This poster of two faces is a possible reference to the American film adaption of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; high likelihood considering Chloe's similarities to the lead female protagonist, Lisbeth.
Music Edit
The CD Player is a key item in the room, which Max can activate at certain points while in the bedroom. Initially, the first song played is "Santa Monica Dream" by Angus & Julia Stone. "Piano Fire" by Sparklehorse is also featured in Episode One, while in Episode Four: "Dark Room", "In My Mind" by Amanda Palmer features as Max and Chloe reunite after the events of the Alternate Timeline.
Alternate Timeline Edit
In the alternate timeline, Chloe's room is empty and primarily used for the storage of her old belongings, as she can no longer climb the stairs to get to her old bedroom. Her mattress lies propped up against the walls, and there is no sign of the rebellious graffiti or posters which previously adorned the room. A notable item in the room is a picture of a blue butterfly, which freaks Max out and emphasizes her choice as part of the Butterfly Effect.

Proposed ride
Day 11: 20 January, HK
This is my last day. I'm not sure what to do, and almost accidentally I end up getting off the MTR in Sham Shui Po, which is north of MongKok, and has a large street market. There is a mall full of little stalls selling a myriad of computer components and technological paraphernalia. I find a shop that just sells tofu. The blocks of bean curd are stacked between layers of wooden boards which are weighted down. It looks deliciously fresh and soft. I have cup of soya milk here.
In the side streets are metal recycling sheds: compacted tin, copper, aluminium squeezed onto racks.
Through a doorway a group of hand workers catch my eye. As I venture into position with my camera, one of them calls out in a friendly way. we chat about the weather in the UK. They are fixing zippers. The shop is full of racks and shelves of different types of zippers. This is all the shop sells.
On a street corner I spy what looks like a squatter camp: A low sprawling structure covered by assorted coloured plastic sheets and tarps, the outside festooned with banners. I venture inside. It is a labyrinthine market, dark, with narrow alleys, each rammed almost as high as the low ceiling with stacks and rolls of fabric. This is a fabric bazaar. As I explore cautiously, not sure if I am welcome, a lady called Margaret, sitting at her sewing machine calls out and proceeds to chat. She spend the next hour filling me in about this place, its history and its future. This is Pang Jai, the last remaining bazaar of its type and it is due to be demolished by the council who have sold the land for redevelopment. She gave up an office job abroad to come and take over the family business here. She says this place has become famous and and go-to place among fashion designers, students and costume makers in the film and theatre industries all over Asia. The traders have been campaigning for several years by running a number of events involving teachers, designers, school groups and communities to keep this place in the public eye and attempt to sway the decisions of the planners. She shows me some of her designs (which tend to be canibalised denims onto which she has stitched shells and beads and badges and slogans, meaning each of her garments has a story) and what she plans to wear at Saturday's event: interesting PVC flower printed designs with Japanese undertones. I say I will attend the event, even though I can't. Somehow this shows a loyalty to the cause.
KK has texted me, and it's late in the afternoon. I had more or less given up on seeing him before I leave. We have about 30 minutes together on a wall in a noisy MongKok square, which is not the best way to part. Both of us have one eye on other appointments that we have made. He suggests next time we don't meet in HK…I'm inclined to agree.
In the evening I meet up with Tom and we go to the buffet at Fortress Hill: to my surprise it's really really busy. On my previous visits, I had enjoyed the slowness and quietness of the place. We talk about career and his family situation. At 9.30 we have to leave. I go and pack my small bag ready for the long long trip back home tomorrow.
Day 10: 19 January, HK
Today I embark on a little excursion which I had been putting off for a while. I get the ferry from Central to Park Island (formerly Ma Wan), a 3o minute ride. The island lies beneath the motorway from Lantau and Tsing Ma bridge. There is no private transportation access, and it is home to a modern private residential development, and some dumb looking attraction called Noah's Ark. I'm here to walk past all this crap and find the original village of Ma Wan on the western shore. There are some paths over the hill with "private property signs" which lead down to the main street, which snakes past some wharves, rotting old stilt houses hanging over the beach, a little temple, a ghostly children's play area and the shells of windowless empty shells of abandoned houses. The street lights still work…The villagers were forcibly ejected to make way and increase the prestige for the new luxury developments. Some locals still fish from the beach and use empty houses as bolt holes. I explore a couple of houses, and climb up flights of stairs onto their flat roofs.
I miss the ferry to Tsuen Wan, as I'm engaged in a chat with KK. This leaves no alternative but to get the ferry back to Central, which is a pity as I had wanted to go somewhere new. In Admiralty I find a vegetarian "cafe" which sells fusion food and I have an interesting laksa risotto. I walk up Hollywood Rd to Man Mo temple, and take in the smokey atmosphere before waking back east through the antiques streets to the mid -central escalators. On the way I come across another calligraphy stand: same political party, same process of writing out good wishes slogans. I pass by Central, a building that captivated me last trip with its many mirrored surfaces. I spend a while exploring the optical effects with my camera and get some great shots.
It's the end of the work day. Under an elevated walkway is a busy Chinese medicine shop, with workers following recipes to source ingredients from walls of labelled wooden drawers then weigh them out with hand balances. At the door a man is selling herbal teas from vast metal urns. I try one. It is acrid but feels good. I sense this is an old and traditional shop….but when I looked for it on Google Street view later, I saw an empty concrete shell, suggesting that it hasn't been around for very long at all.
I have an anxious hunt for a recommended restaurant on the 23rd floor of a block in Wan Chai/Causeway Bay. Anxious as my phone battery has run out, and then because my Octopus card is empty so I can't go anywhere else as it's late. I'm the last customer in this buddhist place and I feel like a curio or inconvenience to the staff. Anyway the food is good, in spite of the hidden charges!
Day 9: 18 January, HK
Today is the day that KK and I finally get together but it turns out to be a disappointment. His business venture has gone sour and his mind is fully occupied with that. After meeting in Mong Kok, where I have been killing time looking at the Anti-Falun Gong stall on Argyll Street, he drives me to the east of New Territories to Sai Kung, a very small fishing village. On the way we stop at a derelict ATV TV studio. KK is concerned about leaving the car anywhere and fears vandalism. In Sai Kung we walk for a while looking for somewhere to eat. Many places are closed, and anyway KK isn't hungry. In the end I chose a Turkish-type place and have a falafel wrap. Not that great, and not really the nicest place to talk. KK has some kind of stomach issue and rather than enjoy being together and looking around, finding toilets becomes the goal of the afternoon. The afternoon is a bit of a disaster, and I feel a bit sad, as I have been here 9 days and I know we won't have any more opportunities, and worse, I don't know when we might meet again. HK is rather far from UK. As we both put it in a chat the other day: our time was wasted.
Back in Mong Kok, I roam around photographing the bustle of groups of people eating snacks on the streets, goldfish street, and a busking old man playing the erhu. I get lost in a mall and find myself at the wrong MTR! Eventually I make it back to Fortress Hill.
Day 8: 17 January, HK
This is one of the loneliest days. I was hoping that KK might have been able to make some time at the weekend, but there are no messages. I don't feel like doing much, but can't sit indoors. I decide to see what's at the western end of the tram line in Kennedy Town. Victoria Park is empty. It is cordoned off as preparations are being made for an event for the Spring Festival. The Filipino maids who usually gather there on their day off are clustered on the pavement and under the flyover. Admiralty looks busy with shoppers. Kennedy town is definitely an end of the line place. Quiet, seems to be home to quite a lot of Gweilos and full of western restaurants, with western prices. I have a late breakfast of various breads sitting on a bench looking over the harbour. Feeling a bit empty and listless. There is nothing to see here and so I walk East along the great named Belcher's Street then Queens Rd West. Here I come across a trestle table stall where members of the Democratic Party are writing pithy new year's wishes on slips of red paper. Passers-by queue up to get their carefully calligraphed slogans to hang on their doors.
In getting off the main road I end up under the dramatic sweeping flyover that carves a swathe over Hill Street.
I climb some steps which take me up to Pok Fu Lam Rd. Ahead of me is an impressive collection of towers and sky bridges: this is HKU. Curious I cross a bridge and am among the university buildings under one of the towers. It's a ghost town, but everywhere seems accessible and no security guards, barriers etc. A small group of men are practising some form of self defence.
I pass them and climb 10 (?) flights of steps on the outside of the Biological Science Building. I'm very high up as the tower is pierced on the flank of a hill. The view looks over the northern towers of Sai Wan and beyond to Kowloon. Beneath me are several smaller, older, colonial-era buildings. One of these is the main building of HKU, which I visit later. It has the feel of a museum with its inner cloistered courtyard. Students have come here to take pictures of each other in graduation robes.
On Bonham street I enter Sai Ying Pun MTR by means of a lift which takes me down through the hill to underground level. I am taking the MTR to Tsim She Tsui and ISQUARE. Here I visit and Indian restaurant and sit on the terrace above Kowloon Park Drive as the sun goes down with a really good thali and lassi.
I'm tired. I can't remember much more.
Day 7: 16 January HK
I dither around Oil St for a while and have a wrap for breakfast. Follow the back streets to Tin Hau MTR and sit on the square outside watching an elderly couple at a charcoal fired chestnut and sweet potato stall. Some kids are chasing pigeons. A sad lonely woman sits opposite.
I meet Marco at Prince Edward station. He is bigger and less cynical. I haven't seen him since the Railway Bell in Brighton 4 years ago where we regularly met to watch football. I missed him when he left. We go to a down at heel Dim Sum place and sit not very comfortably side by side. The tea is nothing special, Marco attempts to order vegetarian dim sum but one of the greasy snacks is topped with bacon. We talk a lot about HK. I'm surprised at his lack of knowledge about the student leaders of the umbrella uprising, even though he graduated in IR. When we part he says we should meet again. We don't. Kind of sets the tone for my visit…
After we part I wander past Yao Ma Tei market towards temple street. Back to an area that fascinated me before. Around the temple are little tables with people reading palms and tealeafs, and curious karaoke tents where seemingly limited to the elderly, some with wonderful voices, some atrocious, singing songs from bygone times. In and around are very crusty scabby homeless people. This seems a closed little world and I really don't know exactly if these people are busking or if I should pay them for sitting and watching.
I have dinner in a busy place that I went to before. Last time it was starchy and dry and the same again. Looking at what other people have ordered I feel sure I chose badly from the big menu again.
Around temple street I buy a juice and while queuing am accosted politely by a guy who, he informs me, is a taxi driver who has lost his licence for speeding. I give him a few dollars to get rid of him. I take the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui and the mtr from admiralty back to my little cell.

Fast Finish
I'm telling you now this isn't about running a race. I WISH I liked running, really do. It's furniture though, and that's ok too. I have plenty of pieces that take a bit of time to fine tune the look I am going for. Lots of others that are simple and to the point. Once in a while though I like to just do a 'quick and done' piece. Though as I'm writing this, I just realized that it did take my husband a few extra hours to remove the tumbled rock mosaic tiles that were on the top. Oops. Ok, but the painting was a fast finish!
It was a fast finish for me. Everyone needs some instant gratification once in a while!
Have a great weekend!

General Dragon mechanics. Tail swipe is in play
Infested Breath-Targets random heal/dps, leaves behind puddle, entire raid group will stack the fight in melee
Rot- targets random players to spawn patches of green pools off of them when debuff expires in 9 sec. Those people will need to run near the last patch of pools that we had just dropped from as a group towards the other aspect of the room and then subsequently allow the debuff to expire
Volatile Rot- Tank debuff that has to be ran out like on fel reaver
Infested-stacking non dispellable dot that is placed on players when they are hit by any of her abilities other than tail swipe
Heart of the swarm(intermission phase)- Boss will go to sleep and subsequently pull pools towards her. Non targetable pulsing AOE bugs will spawn on the ground as well that will need to be avoided
So the strat-
Stack in melee unless you have to get out for rot. Initial pull, split room into 4 distinct areas for the facing for breaths and stacking of rot pile and rotating either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on tanks. Purely ST Dps talents. Strong AOE healing talents
Nythendra - Heroic Raid Strategy Guide
Two phase dragon boss fight
Phase 1: This phase Nythendra is active. The entire mechanic of the phase is to manage placement of pools of Infested Ground
Infested Ground: Small zones of poison. Deal damage while standing in them.
The following three raid abilities cause the Infested Ground pools to spawn:
Twice per phase 1 - infested breath, frontal cone ability - targets random player, move out of the area.
Stacking debuff - when you get hit by an ability you receive an additional stack of the debuff. Spread out
Phase 2 (20 seconds)
Heart of the Swarm - The pools on the ground will now travel toward the center of the room where Nythendra is. Avoid taking damage from these pools.
Small bugs around the room will also swell up and cause pulsing damage - do not be anywhere near the bugs that are swollen.

The Brewfest Party Moves Inside; We're Not Letting a Little Rain Stop Us From Tasting 150+ Beers
BrewFest is Saturday, April 30 at Silver Street Station.
Photo by Chuck Cook Photography
We take beer very seriously around here, and a disappointing weather forecast isn't going to stop our signature event, the 5th Annual BrewFest, from taking place this Saturday. The epic beer-sampling festival is going on, rain or shine, but we did hedge our bets just a little.
"BrewFest is one of our most important events that we put on each year," said Houston Press Publisher Stuart Folb. "There's no way we're going to let a little rain stop us. We're just moving everything inside, and we can all have a fun and cozy time together."
The cavernous space at Silver Street Station has plenty of room for tasting craft beer (more than 150 types), enjoying local eats from BanBan's Cuisine, Buttz Gourmet Food Truck and Fuzzy's Taco Shop, and jamming to live music by Positive Disturbance, Lost Element and Hounds of Jezebel. If only all of our problems could be solved this easily.
Beers from dozens of local, regional and national breweries are participating in this epic event that celebrates the refreshing pour, with a heavy emphasis on Texas brewers.
General admission tickets are $35 (or $45 day of if available) and include eight three-ounce wine, liquor or beer samplings, plus entertainment. VIP tickets are $60 (or $70 day of) and include all of that, PLUS access to the VIP area, which is serving up specialty/seasonal beers and complimentary food. 21 and up only.
Saturday, April 30, 3 to 7 p.m., Houston Press BrewFest @ Silver Street Station, 1500 Silver.

During the presidential campaign and throughout this economically tumultuous time, the phrase "the American Dream" is tossed about with increased frequency. Yet when you ask various people to define the American Dream, you seldom get the same answer.
The Americans for Prosperity Foundation (AFP) hosted their first "Defending the American Dream Summit' in January 2008, for which the headline speakers were six of the Republican candidates for president, including Senator John McCain. Surprisingly, I can't find a definition of the American Dream on either the APF or their Summit's Web sites, and the press release for the event gave only this:
"Defending the American Dream Summit will be a massive demonstration of public and leader's support in favor of the issues related to genuine fiscal restraints, lower taxes, and the free-market policies delivering the American Dream. "
Additionally, they offer this quote from Ronald Reagan:
"You can't put a price tag on the American Dream. That dream is the heart and soul of America; it's the promise that keeps our nation forever good and generous, a model and hope to the world." President Ronald Reagan, October 22, 1986
In August, FOX News' "Your World" host Neil Cavuto accused Barack Obama of "bashing the American Dream" when the Democratic nominee criticized Senator McCain's inability to recall the number of homes he owned.
"Barack Obama just releasing another ad bashing John McCain for those seven houses, eight houses, whatever it is - that's two ads in two days... Well, instead of slamming McCain, is Obama really bashing the American Dream?"
If owning seven or eight homes indicates achieving the American Dream, many of us will never see that dream come true. And frankly, anyone who believes the American Dream is solely about wealth, property ownership, or flat screen TVs and flashy cars needs a wake-up call.
When American historian James Truslow Adams coined the phrase in his book "The Epic od America" in 1931, he defined the American Dream as:
"that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
That may be just one man's opinion, but it's one I happen to agree with. Ironically, Adams worked in investment banking before he penned those words. He also served in the military, and was a delegate to the 1918 Paris Peace Conference.
His notion is that equal opportunity is of greater importance than the personal wealth of a few, which seems to be in direct contradiction to the sense of wealth entitlement that has permeated factions of our population. Especially now that economists have deemed us "officially" in a recession, everyone wants their own financial security to be somehow guaranteed. The wealthy are opposed to having their tax cuts repealed, despite the fact that their tax dollars could help shift the country out of its recession. Many members of the middle class continue to look for ways to earn more money, even as the rest struggle to maintain their current financial status. The less fortunate have lost jobs, lost homes, and find themselves in the throes of poverty. The American Dream is, currently, only working for the wealthy; for many, the concept of "equal opportunity" is a myth.
Many people will argue, saying that in the "Land of Opportunity," every American can become a CEO of a Fortune 500 Company if they put their mind to it and work hard. But ask yourself, do you truly believe that the wounded Vietnam veteran living on the streets of D.C. has as fair a shake as the fresh-faced college grad, dressed in a suit, ready for an interview? Does the single mother whose hours were slashed, forcing her to lose her health care benefits, have equal opportunity as the young woman who inherits her parents' business and can schedule her own work/life balance to suit her family's needs?
Not everyone with a college degree will be successful. Many people who work tremendously hard at their jobs will get passed over for a promotion, and many hard working individuals will lose their jobs due to forces beyond their control.
It's hard not to notice the day-to-day challenges an economic recession presents the majority of us with; in fact, at the grocery store the other day, I was horrified to see how much a few sticks of plain old butter cost. In fact, rather than make my own pie for Thanksgiving, I considered buying a store-made pie, since it somehow cost LESS than the butter. But I bought the butter, and I made the pie in my kitchen on Thanksgiving Day, listening to the radio and enjoying a day off from work (a day off that the people who checked me out at the grocery store had not been granted). With my hands in the dough, my shirt -- and my mischievous puppy -- coated in flour, preparing food for my family, I felt like I had it all.
If the American Dream is about making the most of the opportunities presented to you, acknowledging that you win some and lose some, and the will to pick yourself up when you fall, then I think we all have a shot at seeing that dream come true. But basing our society's interpretation of quality of life on wealth alone serves only to alienate and dishearten many... and whatever your interpretation of the American Dream, it should not include exclusion.

This place is run by a man and two or three college girls who do the cooking and probably lots more! The owner promised us a senior AARP discount which was not given. He left no indication of where to procure clean towels, Did not have anything on the door to indicate if you wanted your room straightened or sheets cleaned as indicated in an in room binder. The room we had was very small, barely room to move around and cluttered. On a positive note, the college girls who cooked and served breakfast, were very sweet. The food was mediocre @ best but the girl's did a fine job with what thy had available. We saw the owner only upon arrival, then never again during a long w/e stay. The old Victorian house is quite beautiful, but could use some work......We've been to B& B's that were amazing,....this was not!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This 1896 Victorian, in the beautifully walkable historic district of St. Paul, combines pure comfort and true elegance. We offer the choice of a hot or self-serve breakfast, as well as high-speed and reliable WiFi and satellite TV. You can also take advantage of a private meeting space in our Victorian parlor.

Water usually forms on the glacier's surface through melting, before flowing down a moulin (vertical to nearly vertical shafts within glaciers or ice sheets) to the base of the glacier. Glacier caves can also form as a result of geothermal heat from hotsprings or volcanic vents beneath glaciers, such as the Kverkfjöll glacier cave in Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland, or where glaciers meet a body of water, with wave action. Glacier caves can collapse or disappear because of glacier retreat. For example, the Paradise Ice Caves on Mount Rainier in Washington had 8.23 miles of passages in 1978. However, it collapsed in the 1990s, and the section of the glacier that contained the caves retreated between 2004 and 2006. Prior to collapse, caves can be used to access the interior of glaciers for research purposes, with the study of glacier caves sometimes known as glaciospeleology. Others also serve as popular tourist attractions due to their beauty.

Photo Friday: Aleutian Islands from the Sky, Sea and Space
Spread the News:ShareThis week's Photo Friday explores the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. The Aleutian Islands, which separate the Bering Sea from the Pacific Ocean, consist of a series of islands and islets that contain 40 active and 17 inactive volcanoes. These volcanic islands formed from the subduction of the Pacific tectonic plate beneath the North American tectonic plate, and some of the volcanoes are glaciated. Scientists have determined that many of the islands had glaciers at one period. The Aleutian Islands are also part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR), which protects various seabird colonies. As the largest wildlife refuge in the United States, more seabirds nest on the islands than anywhere else in North America. Puffins, gulls, cormorants, cackling geese, and terns, among others, call the area home. See pictures of some of these birds and the Aleutian Islands from the air, land, and sea below.

Photo Friday: Peder Balke's Mountain Landscapes
Spread the News:SharePeder Balke (1804 – 1887) is often known as the "Painter of Northern Light." A painter firmly rooted in the Romanticism movement, which flourished from 1800 to the 1860s, his landscapes and seascapes portray the power and majesty of nature. His work depicts the wildness of Norwegian seascapes and the potential nature has to destroy. Balke's talent has recently been rediscovered by collectors and museums alike. A collection of his work is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City until July 9, some of the paintings featuring depictions of glaciers. Spread the...Read More
Photo Friday: Glacier-Themed Parties
Spread the News:ShareGlacier-themed parties have been around for a long time, but recently got a boost from the hit Disney movie, Frozen. And in Iceland last year, the first-ever party inside a glacier was thrown during the Secret Solstice festival in Rejkavik. The party was held inside Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Europe. In today's Photo Friday, we'll show you some ideas for glacier-themed parties. Spread the...Read More
Photo Friday: Bizarre Glacier Sports
Spread the News:ShareAs climate change continues to impact world glaciers, adventure athletes are taking sports to an extreme at famous glacial settings. Ever heard of glacier boarding, for example? It's just one of the bizarre sports now being played at glaciers near you. As GlacierHub reported in 2014, canyon guides Claude-Alain Gailland and Gilles Janin took boogie boards to Altesch glacier in Switzerland, coasting through a freezing channel carved into the ice. If that doesn't look like fun, in 2007, Kealii Mamala invented another new sport: glacier surfing. He became the first person to surf a wave caused by a calving glacier at Alaska's Childs Glacier. Even the world's most prominent athletes are participating in the new sporting trend. In 2013, tennis superstars Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokoviche played an exhibition match at the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina. While, in reality, the match took place on a man-made court on a nearby barge, we're pretty sure it's the closest a game of tennis has ever been to a glacier. This Photo Friday, enjoy images of some bizarre glacier sports. Spread the...Read More
Photo Friday: Glaciers in Films
Spread the News:ShareMagnificent, beautiful and mysterious, glaciers are a critical part of nature. For thousands years, humans have responded to glaciers through art, incorporating them in paintings, poems, folk songs, and more recently, movies. With the development of modern arts, specifically the film industry, glaciers have popped up in a range of creative endeavors from documentaries to animated pictures. Explore some popular films featuring glaciers with GlacierHub. Chasing Ice Chasing Ice (2012) is the story of one man's quest to gather evidence of climate change. A documentary film about environmental photographer James Balog, it tells the story of his trip to the Arctic to capture images to help tell the story of Earth's changing climate. The film included scenes from a glacier calving event lasting 75 minutes at Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland, the longest calving event ever captured on film. "Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality," the film introduction states. "It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate." Ice Age Ice Age (2002) is one of the most popular animations in the world and its sequels have continued to delight thousands of children and adults. First directed by Chris Wedge and produced by Blue Sky Studios, the film is set during the ice age. The characters in the film must migrate due to the coming winters. These animals, including a mammoth family, a sloth Sid, and a saber-tooth tiger Diego, live on glaciers. They find a human baby and set out to return the baby. The animation won positive reviews and awards, making it a successful film about glaciers. James Bond Jökulsárlón, an unearthly glacial lagoon in Iceland, makes its appearance in several James Bonds films, including A View to Kill (1985) and Die Another Day (2002). A View to Kill, starring Roger Moore, Christopher Walken and Tanya Roberts, was also filmed on location at other glaciers in Iceland, including Vatnajökull Glacier in Vatnajökull, Austurland, Iceland. China: Between Clouds and Dreams The documentary China: Beyond Clouds and Dreams (2016) is an award-winning new series by Director Phil Agland. The five-part series tells intimate human stories of China's relationship with nature and the environment as the country grapples with the reality of global warming and ecological collapse. See the trailer here. Commissioned by China Central Television and filmed over three years, the film includes a scene of glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau, where the impacts of climate change are most obvious.

Herb Lubalin b.1918 -d.1981. If you haven't bit his work, or butchered his typefaces, you've at least seen his iconic typographic logo for Avant Garde magazine. The logo spawned a type face of the same name in 1970 which was later condensed by Ed Benguiat. Many people are unfamiliar with his work beyond this typeface so, please take a moment to check him out. Thanks to Peter Gabor of the excellent Design & Typo site for providing the Herb Lubalin tribute gallery.

103 Responses to What's Wrong With This Picture: ABA Gun Violence Confab
no one from TCTAESCWTTADSTAI? (The Center to Arm Everyone So Criminals Will Think Twice About Doing Somthing That's Already Illegal)
It's easier to say GOA; (Gun Owners of America.) Or TTAG.
Ugh. I'm so embarrassed for my profession sometimes. Never have paid the ABA a dime, though.
Ditto. The ABA does not speak for all attorneys. They certainly don't speak for the Constitution.
What was it that Shakespeare said?…
Hmm…I think you meant to ask "What did a coup-plotting character in a Shakespeare play say about killing all the lawyers so that, absent a legal system, he could impose his own personal tyranny on a newly lawlessness kingdom", right?
What was it that Shakespeare said?…
He said "kill the chiropractors, for they are quacks."
And exactly what facts would lead you to that conclusion Ralph?
I'm not Ralph, but the chiropractors that treat based on subluxation are quacks. Subluxation theory is pseudoscientific garbage in line with astrology and phrenology. My personal experience with chiropractors is when I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my back (ended up being syingomyelia, a hole down the center of my spinal cord), the chiropractor I went to for a cheap X-Ray declared that my spine was out of alignment and I needed to sign a contract for 3 months of adjustments which would cure me. If I had believed them and done that, my back would be in even worse condition than it is now.
Luckily, I went to a real goddamned doctor who actually figured out what was wrong with me.
Ok Doug I am going to give you a polite response despite the fact that you swore at me in your reply.
First, I asked for facts. Not anecdotal evidence based on one person's experiences.
Second, chiropractors are recognized as "real" doctors and are licensed as such in all fifty US states.
Third, no doctor can guarantee a cure for any condition. Doing so is unethical and in many cases against the law. This is not unique to chiropractic. And while I don't think that a 3 month contract for treatment is the best business model, each business owner is allowed to do as he or she pleases and you are free to give them your patronage or not.
Fourth, what is a "cheap" x-ray and why would you go somewhere that you could get one?
Fifth, how are you so sure that your back would be in worse condition now? I still have never met anyone who could predict the future with 100% certainty.
Sixth, it is syringomyelia.
To everyone else, sorry for the rant. It just really frustrates me to hear someone state something as fact with little to no actual knowledge of the subject about which they are speaking. Kinds of reminds me of someone like Watts or Feinstein speaking about guns or 2A.
Actually, NCDC, it's hydrosyringomyelia…unless, of course, you took this kind gentleman's spinal cord out of his body and examined it histologically. You do understand the difference, don't you doctor? I can call you "doctor," can't I?
BTW, don't try to make someone look bad when you barely know what you are talking about yourself. Or when you training is confined to "manipulations" and theatrical facet joint popping. You might be surprised who reads TTAG with you.
rolling, I'm not surprised at all by who reads TTAG. I actually think that the readers here are some of the more intelligent people in our society. And I have no idea what condition the guy above has without actually speaking to him. For all I know he googled the name of a spinal condition and then mistyped it in his comment. I also was not tying to make him look bad. I simply pointed out several facts that he got wrong. I don't know where you got the information that chiropractors "training is confined to "manipulations" and theatrical facet joint popping", but you are either at best grossly misinformed or at worst willfully ignorant.
Yeah…they don't represent me either.
I did my first few years in, when the firm covered it. I do feel a bit bad for the poor minimum wage girl who called about renewals. Not her best call ever.
Member one year b/c the city I was prosecuting for got me a membership w/o telling me. Told them never to waste their money thereafter. ABA represents less than 50% of this country's lawyers, but they're liberal media darlings so the press makes them appear far more significant than they are.
I made the conscious decision to avoid the ABA solely because of this issue. It's obnoxious.
Me either. We all get the obligatory free one year membership once admitted to the Bar but once they disclosed their official position that the second amendment didn't confer an individual RKBA, I was done with the ABA.
So true, My firm just dropped the ABA. They offered us nothing more than a number each year for the dues we owe. They serve no real purpose other than their own self-aggrandizement.
" They serve no real purpose other than their own self-aggrandizement."
That's true of every top-town power structure.
Ditto + 3. The ABA will never see dues from me for this very reason.
Seems like a rather one sided "discussion".
More like a propaganda rally.
I wonder if they will march in neat lines with banners and torches?
Also, anybody get a dress code for this event? Are jackboots optional?
Torches are against the fire code.
Rules are for the little people.
Erwin Chemerinsky is libertarian on some issues. I suppose he's the "balance"?
Thank goodness for the Federalist Society.
Erwin Chemerinsky is probably the only one who has a clue about constitutional law that's in attendance.
That said, he also recently authored a book titled "The Conservative Assault on the Constitution", so you know what side he'll come down on. (If somehow that wasn't already clear.) But he *is* somewhat of a heavyweight in Con law circles.
If I were in Philly, I might attend just to hear what he says, in a 'know your enemy's best arguments' kind of way. But I'd leave when he's done.
Is there anyone among us that will attend, record, take notes, etc? This sounds like a great opportunity to develop a rebuttal video for YouTube. We can do it here but we're the only ones that come here, right?
He's another lefty hack who believes the constitution is a breathing document that can be changed on the fly by lefty judges.
I'm fond of the old quote, "What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you'd like it to mean?"
-Justice Scalia
More like a breathing document that can be smothered.
No, the document is the rule book. It's the ones who are playing the game, breaking the rules, that are smothering the rights of the people who get stuck paying the bills.
So now the 2nd Amendment is a myth?
And the Brady Center now has a 2nd Amendment expert?
The fail that will be presented at this "Confab" will be epic, me thinks………..
The constitution has been a myth for a long time now. It has no power over these people. Seven decades ago they morphed the commerce clause to justify the federal government forbidding a farmer from growing wheat on his own property for his own consumption. A few years ago the constitution was used to justify a local government taking away property from one citizen and giving it to another for the sole purpose of raising tax revenue. You have no property rights, you have no right to freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, you have no right to free speech (try starting a Tea Party group and see what happens). Your rights died a long time ago BECAUSE the whole constitution is a myth. They have as much respect for your right to keep and bear arms as they have for the rest of your 'rights'. Your 'rights' are what they say they are.
Yes but…
Our rights never go away. They get trampled, distorted, spat upon, twisted, spindled and mutilated. They get neglected, trashed and forgotten. But all the people have to do is to decide to retrieve them from the trash heap, dust them off and revive them for another generation's use. Witness the revival going on with recent events in Mexico. I hope we don't have to fall so low before the people realize it's time to grow a pair and fight for our rights.
Fight how? Please expand on your statement.
I have a feeling that we will fall farther than Mexico, but it will take longer to get there. The outcome will be better, but the toll it takes on the nation will be higher. I see this being the case in the next 100 years, but probably less. We (constitutionalists) will have some major victories between now and then, but the government will grow tired of playing games with the people and just say "You all belong to us now." This followed by civil war, where the civilization in question is a global one.
That or both sides will continue to bicker and be miserable 'til the aliens invade. Who knows… 🙂
"Our rights never go away. They get trampled, distorted, spat upon, twisted, spindled and mutilated. They get neglected, trashed and forgotten. But all the people have to do is to decide to retrieve them from the trash heap, dust them off and revive them for another generation's use."
Practice writing "Richard McCally Grise" in that little "write-in" box on the ballot to elect me by overwhelming Liberty Mandate in 2016, and I'll fire the whole damn bureaucracy and reinstate the Constitution!
The government isn't supposed to be anybody's boss – the government is supposed to be nothing but an organizational chart.
Our right to property can't be taken away, but our property can be taken.
Our right to freedom of speech can't be taken away but we can be harassed by the government for using it.
Our right to keep and bear arms can't be taken away but our arms can be taken.
Our right to life can't be taken but your life may be taken.
You might be right, but you're still dead.
The government grants rights and takes rights away on a whim. They invented a 'right to privacy' to take away the right of life from others. They grant the right to food, shelter and a college education and they take away your right to property to pay for it. They even grant the right to health care by forcing you to buy insurance at your own expense. Say what you want it's only semantics. Unless you are prepared to fight off the bastards who wish to take away your rights you will have none.
I disagree, the 2a is the only one they do still respect to a degree. While freedom from unreasonable searches is surely out and freedom of speech depends entirely on the speech you wish to make the 2a is still around simply because it is the final trip wire and the one that people start bleeding over. Surely they would like to outlaw all privately owned firearms, but the bulwark against enforcing such a law are the arms themselves.
We may live on the cusp of tyranny, and our rights are surely ragged and fluttering, but they aren't all gone yet and there might still be time to restore the others so long as we have the 2a.
Much like a tinpot dictator, the only thing these people fear is force. We, as gun owners have the political power to vote them out of office and if all else failed we may have the power to force them out with force. They have no respect for our rights, only our power. When they see that power seem to wain, like after a mass shooting, they always pounce, and we always push back, and we usually win. If we were as passionate about our other rights as we are about the second amendment we would have those rights back. Eventually. After a drawn out bloody fight. Figuratively speaking. Hopefully figurative.
SOP on the anti side. Nothing is technically "wrong" with the presentation as long as you agree with them.
Well, the bit about "Defending Liberty" does sort of clash with the agenda.
Dang! You beat me to it.
True for us… not for them. They'll just come up with some "we're defending people's liberty to live or to not be afraid or (insert some emotional garbage here)" justification for defending liberty the way they see it.
Isn't it hard to disable comments in an "in person" "discussion"?
Very easy, you take no questions from the audience. It's a lecture, not a discussion.
Don't tase me, bro!
This is PA, you taze me, I shoot back.
yup… taser = deadly force. i love everything about PA but philly
Aside from the use of the word "myth", the irony is that this is taking place in Philadelphia. You know, that place where the Liberty Bell is, the icon of freedom and independence?
Its also being held at the Constitution Center.
HAH missed that!
"Where we keep a copy in every bathroom stall."
All I see is one side of an issue.
From their POV there is only one side of the issue.
There IS only one side! The antis just refuse to concede that the 2nd amendment means what it says.
It makes me wonder; If my attorney turns out to be incapable of understanding the relevant SC decisions regarding the meaning of the 2a, would I have an appeal based on incompetent representation if I were convicted while using said attorney?
It's not something I'd test, rather a thought about how such a thing might be used against these A**holes later. You know, just in the same spirit of goodwill they show in their liberty bashing.
I see what they did there. Hold the "discussion" on a Thursday in the middle of the day so that the people who would come and give the other side are at work and will not confront them on their lies.
Looks like they didn't even bother to invite anyone who deviates with their agenda.
Propaganda don't take kindly to opposing views. Self defense id considered violence. Those promoting self defense promote violence and, for the children's sake, we can't have that.
Defending liberty? How can one defend liberty while he or she is trying to disarm the people?!
What the anti-gun crowd means is, "disarm everyone so they will have to submit to all the other crap we want to shove down their throats" … They lost me at "Global Warming"
And this is why I hang up on the ABA every time they call asking why I am no longer a member. This presentation is a one-sided joke.
"◾Second Amendment Law, Reform through Litigation, Legislative Landscape"
Just what does this mean–a session on legislative and litigation schemes to limit the Second Amendment?
There is a 2A section of the ABA–but it is, or was initially, a pro-2A group that was pissed that the ABA powers that be came out against the 2A without consulting the membership. Any member of that group is notably absent from this program. And it seems that ABA maintains its antagonism to the right. This session confirms my decision years ago to never pay these guys hundreds of dollars a year for an overpriced magazine.
"Mothers in Charge"… sounds legit…
Why not just bill it as "The Philadelphia ABA Anti-Gun Symposium" and call it a day? Truth in advertising and all that.
+ 1000
Not on their calendar. Perhaps Czar Barak (Czarina Val) has not informed them yet.
Are they serving popcorn & candy, that always goes good at the circus, Randy …maybe o will make a guest appearance & stick his head in a lions mouth, I couldn't get enough of that.
ABA Gun Violence Confab. Also known as the "echo chamber" conference.
Ha ha.. I like that the motto is 'Defending Liberty, Pursuing Justice'
Now excuse us while we do the exact opposite.
So, they will discuss the best way to take my property, and prevent me from purchasing anything new over wine and cheese. Then some dingbat will start singing a new song she wrote on the piano, and people will pretend to love it. Trust me, I've seen this before.
Anyone wanna bet that Shannon Watts will be there? Any takers?
Liberals will NEVER be happy with the definition of the Second Amendment until it is defined with words to their satisfaction, regardless of the true meaning…
Luckily Liberals can never agree on anything specific because one of them will be offended by it.
Gee, that panel sure seems evenly distributed across all concerns and parties.
Stop the whining and go and ask the questions.
Of course the ABA is anti-gun. The entire spirit of their enterprise is "we should be able to make your life as miserable as we want, but you shouldn't shoot us or our paymasters. We should be able to drag a person through years of 'liberal discovery' irrelevant to the case, steer employment to our political-aligned friends, negate federal statutes to impose a way of life resting on so-called rights that are neither specified in the constitution as amended nor known to Americans before 1999. But don't carry a gun, because it makes us uncomfortable as we make your assertion of your rights ever more ruinously expensive. Because we're worth it!"
The ABA activists, in hot pursuit of a bit more visibility for their practice, bear no resemblance to my state bar association. The ABA self-selects for that group of people who represent a complimentary mix of PC hustlers and big corporate money, aligned as one to create a tame bunch of cattle from what was once a body of citizens.
While I have a regular attorney who is willing to handle anything I ask of him I propose a new litmus test for selecting a lawyer: Are you a member of the ABA? Yes? Next please!
Well the anti's current method of winning 2A cases is getting judges nervous about overturning anything. Every single case "we defer to the legislature". Everytime. Only hope is the scotus. If we lose there it's over. Until then just keep expecting the antis defense to be to have their lawyer holding a puppy and asking why the judge doesn't care about the children.
You sure this isn't a meeting of the league of doom?
I don't know of any of my acquaintances who practice law who doesn't have their CCW permit. This whole thing strikes me as weird.
So sad I'll have to miss this particular ABA circle jerk, but I'm saving up to attend the ABA conference on Tort Reform.
"The Myth and Meaning of the Second Amendment" ??
Hmm… are they also going to cover "Gun Control: it's not about guns but about the anal retentive needs of a few control freaks to force their FUBAR'd views on everybody else"
"Julie Leftwich, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence"
– LOL, "Leftwich", I thought that was a joke – but sadly, it's not.
It's not a joke — it's a misspelling.
The John Hopkins guy is just another Bloomberg puppet.
Not sure whether to characterize this collection as an echo chamber or a downright circle jerk.
Is the ABA different from the state bars? The ones that handle who can practice law where?
The ABA is a national organization. It has degenerated into an anti-Constitutional cabal of leftist nitwits over the last few decades. State bar associations are under state jurisdiction and are not "under" the ABA.
I guess the hypocrite Ex-Spaceman and his puppet wife are busy that day!?
How about libaturds on parade.Of course, nobody who knows anything about guns or the The 2A are going to be there.Just a bunch of idiots with the wrong approach to gun crime trying to circumvent the 2A.
