The Best of 2010
This is a new thing for me, choosing my best photos of the year. I've done it with books I've read and albums I've bought, but not things I made myself. It can be hard to subjectively judge your own work, but I think it's a worthy exercise for anyone who wants to get better at what they do. I wrote a whole long post about my analysis and its criteria, but I've decided not to publish that. It's boring, and who cares really?
On with the winners, in the order I shot them with some reasons why I chose them.
Even if I had planned this shot and spent a lot of time framing and composing, it couldn't have been done better. As it was it was a grab-shot that took me only seconds to take. The Piscataquog is a very picturesque river and so it's hard to get a bad image of it, but I like this one particularly because of the strong S curve of snow framing the dark river that leads your eye right through the frame. The white is almost blinding in spots, but the surrounding trees and sky keep your eyes in the shot. Someone commented that she expected to see a group of barbarians on horseback come bursting through and I love that new perspective.
The picture tells a story and the lighting and composition are in harmony. I was with a couple of friends this day and they were yakking it up to my right. I was looking back into the scene we'd just spent an hour in. Some of my best shots come from a last look back and that's when I saw this. Because we were all cold and ready for coffee, I couldn't take a lot of time over this and shot only a few frames. Luckily I had been working in this light and setting for a while and could capture it perfectly. I love the softness of the light and the snowed-over footprints and how they lead you into those mysterious trees. The shadows pick out the texture of the snow and add interest to the foreground. It's hushed and peaceful and reminds me of every beautiful winter morning.
That whirlpool is awesome and I planned this shot pretty meticulously before I actually took it. Having been through this area before I noticed the whirlpools here and there, I knew I wanted to get a photo of one, but had to wait for better lighting. When that day came I scouted locations until I found this one and then got all excited when I saw that Charlie Brown tree in the foreground. It makes for the perfect element to keep your eyes up on the waterfall and the vortex. It also gives the scene some scale and it's just plain fun. All around pretty damn great if I do say so myself. It also is a major indication that I was really trying to be a more deliberate photographer – one of my resolutions of 2010.
This photo came out looking very poignant and somehow introspective, as if this oinker knows he'll end up in a sandwich. It was kind of a grab-shot that spoke volumes after I got it home. It is startling not only for the subject, but for the mood. I didn't intend to make this a serious picture since pigs are not serious subjects – they're boisterous and curious and don't stay still for long at this age. I think it's a testament to my skills as a photographer that I could bring out such a change of emotion in the final shot. A few years ago, I probably wouldn't have been able to.
The title really sums up how this shot of the emerging flower feels. As if it's shy and reticent about showing itself. I love the light and the slight shadows within the leaves. Just look at those leaves – so graceful and elegant. The fresh color and the focus is pretty damn good, too. I had the camera on my front steps cushioned by a bag of barley. So high tech. This is part of my Lily of the Valley project which I undertook to help hone my macro photography skills and it certainly did. For the most part I use a legacy Olympus lens – the 90mm f2 macro and I really needed practice with it and this project helped with that, too. Oh and gave me some excellent images, too.
The framing, the bg and the color of the flower work remarkably well. I remember hunting around for the best composition while my poor husband stood aside patiently waiting for me to photograph yet another flower. The depth-of-field is also right where it needs to be. I didn't check it, but relied on my experience and knowledge of the lens to give me what I wanted. Not only is the image good in camera, but my post processing skill was coming along pretty well and I could do it justice and make it sing.
This shot is a testament to my skill as a photographer if that doesn't sound too big-headed. I'm amazed I got it. About a dozen non-photographers were milling around exploring this tiny family burial ground and so when I noticed how a break in the canopy lit up Hannah's stone, I had only a few seconds in which to compose, set exposure and shoot. Just after I did some people got into the frame and then the light changed and Hannah was no longer spotlit. When I got this image in Lightroom it was almost perfect out of the camera, but I thought a desaturated look with a slight vignette would really bring out the spooky, which it does. I'm very proud of this shot. Even if it is one of my beloved cemetery images, I think it has enough appeal to stand outside of that realm.
This is pretty fab all around. I was with some of my best photographer friends for the first time in months and we always have a great time together. The early morning light is so warm and soft on the background, but the post shades the rest of the gate and provides a contrasting color temperature. Not to mention those great little shadows the vine throws across the post. I also like the way the grass in the immediate foreground is lit up and the kiss of sun on the gate itself. At first I thought the gate was too prominent, but now I realize it isn't.
It's a powerful subject the Merrimack river and I worked for some time on the granite shelf of a bank trying to frame this right – particularly that stripe of rough water that leads your eye to the trees. I must have looked funny shuffling around and peering down into my LCD screen over and over again. Longish shutter speed, but not too much that the trees are totally blurry (there was a light wind) and light that is direct, but not too flat or harsh. Finally, it came together. This part of the river is beautiful and easily accessed, but somehow I'd never explored it until this year. It won't be the last visit.
This one makes me smile. The sunny yellow color and the way the focus falls off gently speak of peace to me. I was on my back deck when I noticed the sun in this birch and went for the camera. I spent several minutes playing in the leaves, framing and shooting. This composition works the best and I love the overall color palette. Sometimes spontaneity produces the best shots.
Technically this photo rocks. The color and the clarity is terrific and I remember hunting around on the bank looking for just the right foreground elements to frame the shot. I think the composition works well and just look how those birch trunks pop. Even though the color is technically past peak (those bare trees were probably red only a week before) I like the deep golden hues; so rich and harmonious.
I also love this shot because I was able to take it. A few months ago I said I'd have to go on forced hiatus. I was emotionally strung out and couldn't go into detail because it was cancer. Yeah, the Big C. After months of frustrating doctor visits I had surgery in late August and thought for sure my autumn would be ruined either from recovery or because I'd need chemo or radiation therapy. That thought made a depressing situation even worse. In the end I needed neither and I was actively shooting 4 weeks after my operation. The day I shot this image I'd just come from my first post-op appointment with my oncologist. She said everything looked fine and I was healing perfectly and it took such a weight off my shoulders that I felt I could fly. I'm almost crying writing this and remembering how wonderful I felt at this location on this most perfect day.
This is technically pretty great and I love the horizon line with the fog shrouded trees and those red berry bushes that really define the edge. Crisp foreground and hazy background contrast well and add to the mood of the image itself. it really says November to me. Plus I was with my mom having a great time together. We walked all the way up to the point where the little jog in the walkway is when I said we had to go back so I could shoot it. She ended up taking a shot too.
So that's it then. The best I could do this year. I hope you enjoyed viewing them as much as I did making them. Here's to 2011!
Lily of the Valley – Part 10
I am back.
I am not 100%, but I've been out photographing here and there. Not just for this project, but walking in the woods and stuff. Hopefully this weekend is reasonably nice and I can see about finding fall color.
But fall color isn't just about leaves. Picking up from the last installment in this project, the berries ripened really fast, going from a greeny-tinged orange to a deep orange in a couple days. Then seemingly overnight they were red.
Now due to a combination of wind, rain and the advancing decomposition of the plants themselves, things have come to this –
I really like the shades of brown and gray in this as well as the leaf shapes. Only a little manipulated by me, mostly as found.
It's supposed to rain all day today so I might have some interesting shots to take when it stops. Saturated, soaked, puddled and really bedraggled leaves is what I'm hoping for.
Lily of the Valley – Part 9
The berries that I've been watching turned orange before I have to go on hiatus. I spent the last few early mornings photographing them and some of the leaves. Am pretty satisfied with how things came out, but I'm irritated that a certain shot just won't come crisp. Given the lens I'm using and my previous results with it, I can't understand why it's not coming up sharp. Bah.
Anyway, here's what I do have –
The light in the morning really brings out the warmth of the colors. Yesterday the left over rain made that second image a tad more interesting.
Here is a look at how the leaves and the plants as a whole are looking. Bedraggled about sums it up, but I like the color variations in the leaves themselves and think isolating parts of them still works. Those weird spots on the upper middle leaf are spiders. Will have to go out to investigate more.
I really like that last one for some reason. I think it's the texture of the leaves.
Oh and look who stopped by to check out what I was doing.
Even down to 6 legs it was still able to evade another daddy long legs that came by.
Anyway, I hope I can continue with this project, soon. Although the plants aren't getting any prettier I am committed to documenting them all the way to full die back. It's been a fun project and thanks for keeping up with it.
Lily of the Valley – Part 8
After some weeks of relative sameness, the plants are beginning a new phase – the die back.
I love the contrast between the still verdant leaves and the dying leaves. The textures are still terrific.
And of course I couldn't resist a monochrome conversion. The shapes and light variation in the early morning is perfect for this kind of interpretation. A square crop adds to the classical feel I think.
I also noticed that the berries from the last session are still hanging in there, although they haven't changed in color enough to warrant new photos yet. Keeping my eyes peeled though.
Overall I'm pleased with my messy little patch of flowers and the project so far. As the die back continues I'll be out there again. There's one more shot on the SmugMug Gallery if you're so inclined.
Lily of the Valley – Part 7
Yep, it's been a while. Sick of this yet? I am and I'm not. The plants are at a point of non-interestingness. At least that's what I thought. You see I had no idea they actually make fruit. I knew they propagated themselves by the rhizome system, but didn't think too much about this. Turns out that colonies consisting of a single clone don't set fruit which contain seeds as pretty much all fruit does. Eventually these little green berries turn an orangey-red. I really hope they hang on to do so; a few have already disappeared. Anyway, here are the images –
Stems without berries far outnumber the ones with and those are withered and dry now.
So that's how things are in the Lily of the Valley patch. I'll be watching for ripening berries & withering leaves.
Lily of the Valley – Part 6
Before I dive into my California vacation pictures and before NH History part 2, I'm getting up to speed with this project. I'm really glad I shot on the day before I left because the flowers were at their most verdant and lush. The raindrops really helped convey that sense of freshness I was going for and so these next ones will be even more dramatically different.
The blossoms are hanging on, but not by much and they fall like leaves in the slightest breeze.
This one kept spinning on its tether –
It looks like I placed this fallen blossom in this position, but I didn't, I found it this way.
That's it for now. There are more shots in the gallery including one of For Miss Havisham in black and white. There are three monochrome shots now and I really like them. Check them out HERE.
Lily of the Valley – Part 5
As I'm leaving for California for a week starting tomorrow, I thought I'd update this study today. Also because it rained this morning and I love including raindrops in flower photos if I can. Plus it's relatively still today which is good because the slightest breeze sets these leaves off. They're like sails, they catch the tiniest movement of air which is terrific in another way – the scent is like heaven. Hard to believe such a powerful aroma comes from such tiny flowers.
The light in this first on is really odd, but I like it. You know how the sky gets a bit yellow after rain towards the end of the day? That's what it was doing.
For this last one I couldn't resist using the same name as Charlemagne's sword. It just fits. It's one of my favorite images in this study so far, too.
Lily of the Valley – Part 4
They're really coming into a beautiful phase right now. The leaves are almost fully unfurled and are still delicate and pale in color. VERY photogenic. When I shot this last session I was struck by how like a stage it all seemed and thus the titles.
That one just cried out for black and white. I use Lightroom for all my post processing and managed the sliders very carefully for this one. I didn't want it too harsh, but had to have enough drama to make it compelling. The shallow depth of field lends itself to the softness, but the shapes themselves hold the drama. I like.
For this next one I wanted to show how that once the bud is released from it's papery wrapper it turns downwards in preparation for blooming.
Overall I like how this series is going and how much I've learned about a plant I've spent so much time with, but hardly knew. I will probably head out again today since they've changed some more.
Lily of the Valley – Part 3
Eeek! I've been taking photos, but not posting about them. Things are progressing out there. Leaves are unfurling and tiny buds are showing now. I'll probably get out there again today, especially if it rains. Raindrops on the leaves will be really pretty if it happens.
I really like this next shot. The sun had just gone behind the house, but it was still bright enough to light up the leaves.
And here are the buds…future blossoms waiting for their time in the sun.

And the break in the middle is just plain awesome.


text: The thing is with a game like FFXIII which was generally... unloved... They tried to mix it up a bit, put in new systems like they always do, they tweaked the battles a lot, etc. Lots of people didn't like those things... Lots of people probably wish they'd never change anything, but then we'd be having this same arguement about how the games feel stagnant. I feel they certainly have some great FF titles in them, it's unfortunate that their recent games haven't gone over so well but I personally am glad they try to mix up the genre rather than sticking with the same old formula.

Fluffy and flavorful homemade lemon buttermilk cupcakes, with perfectly domed tops ideal for piling high with frosting.
Happy 4th of July!!
How are you celebrating? We're headed to a neighborhood bbq later this afternoon, and I'm bringing these red, white, and blue lemon buttermilk cupcakes along to share.
It's probably too late for you to bake these cupcakes today (though they're actually pretty quick and easy), but I figure they're super yummy and Summer-y regardless of the holiday, and thought I'd leave you with the recipe anyway.

Book Review - "My Sunshine Away" by M.O. Walsh
The pivotal event happens in 1989, but connected scenes take place earlier and later than that. They all occur in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in a nice middle-class neighborhood and among private school students. On the face, this is a setting that would never expect to see a violent crime, yet one does happen, as do other less violent or public ones but ones just as harmful.
Lindy Simpson is fifteen, a track star, and the object of the narrator's affection. The (unnamed) narrator is male, a year younger, and convinced that he and she have a future together...except that Lindy barely notices him. She is knocked out and raped on the sidewalk outside their homes one night, and the perpetrator is never caught. How this act of violence changes Lindy, the narrator, and indeed the whole neighborhood is the point of the book.
This is a work of suspense, yes, but finding out who did it is not the reason to keep turning pages. The narrator is looking back at this incident from a distance of about twenty years, and it's this introspective rumination that gives life to the characters. We see why things happened the way they did, why people acted the way they did, and how those decisions changed them. I don't want to give away anything, so you'll just have to trust me when I say finding out the identity of the rapist (and it does come, right at the end) is almost incidental and yet that one act of violence leads to so much more: questions of guilt, manhood, and personal identity to name a few. What makes us human, or what separates humans from animals (such as the stray dog that figures in the book), is a central theme.
The writing is beautiful, and I don't say that lightly. The plot is tight, and while you may guess at the name of the rapist, you probably won't figure out who the narrator is talking to. (Oops, I just gave away a twist.) Pick up this book if you like suspense novels or deep character studies or amazing writing. If you wrestle with questions of faith (of any kind) or guilt or life in general, read this book. You'll have a difficult time putting it down, and it will stay with you long after you close the back cover.

Fans on the actor can rejoice as he will likely be again from the present. But…
Actor Vikram Singh Chauhan, who continues to be lacking from his Star Additionally show Jaana Naa Dil Se Doorway from your past several times, is all established to return for the present. Nearly as good as this information sounds with the actor's admirers, Unfortunately, his return might be a temporary one particular.
The followers will only catch glimpses of Atharv in the display on occasion. The Star Additionally exhibit shocked one and all when they bumped off the guide actor Vikram Singh Chauhan aka Atharv quickly. The super twist had Kailash (Vineet Kumar) plotting to independent his daughter Vividha (Shivani Surve) from your enjoy of her existence Atharv, by marrying her off to some other person (Shashank Vyas). Vividha could be heartbroken as she had to beg her father to go away Atharv by itself in exchange of obeying her father's wishes of marrying an individual. But she is clearly not delighted in the wedding. The pain of loosing Atharv is a lot that Vividha is unable to consider anything other than Atharv. A lot of so that she starts off viewing Atharv almost everywhere.
Sure, Vikram are going to be observed while in the exhibit for just a number of dream sequences while in the present. It will eventually so transpire that Vividha, who will be dropped in Atharv's views will see him from the backyard and run to him. But alas… You fellas presently know the end result.
And, our resource from the sets confirmed the news of Atharv's re-entry. Alternatively, we listen to that Ravish (Shashank Vyas), who's to date baffled about Vividha's behaviour, finally understands that Vividha is unhappy with him as she was forced into relationship with him.
Where will Vividha's love for Atharv direct her? What will be Ravish reaction when he involves learn about Vividha 's past?

How I got HereSunday, January 3rd, 2016
Just in case it disappears from the Undercurrent website, reproduced here under some sort of license of some version he says to the attorneys eh 🙂
Four or five times a year, Mark Groen packs up and moves — all so he can stay in the same place.
He could be what's called a professional housesitter on Bowen Island. He has a rotation of regular clients who pay him to stay at their house and take care of their pets while they are away for extended periods of time.
So, one month he might be staying in a $2-million house high atop the clouds in Valhalla and the next in a rustic cabin on the shores of Killarney Lake.
"I've cracked the code," he says with a smile during an interview at the Snug Café. Without a mortgage or rent to pay, he doesn't need to work full time in order to afford a pretty sweet life doing what he chooses to on an island he loves.
"I'm debt free, I haven't had a credit card in 25 years and I have time to do what I want. Time means freedom. If you control your time, you're free."
For a man so rooted to place — both Bowen Island and BC — he's a nomad at heart.
His ancestors were among some of the earliest settlers in the Caribou-Chilcotin; there's even a town, Hanceville, named after one of them, Tom Hance, who'd come north from Oregon to make his fortune. Another ancestor used horses to help build the roads that opened up northern British Columbia. His mother was born in an outpost hospital in Alexis Creek and his father emigrated from Holland after the Second World War.
Mark himself owes his existence to Daylight Savings Time. On the Sunday morning of the spring-forward time change, his mother and his father, who didn't know one another, arrived at the Catholic church in Kamloops an hour early. "The bishop said, 'Why not go for a coffee and come back in an hour?'"
The coffee led to marriage which led to three sons: Mark, John and Richard, who enjoyed what Mark remembers as a pretty idyllic childhood.
The marriage, however, did not last. His mother's second husband was a chemical engineer and the family went where his job took them, including Washington State, Kentucky and New Brunswick.
"That's when I learned to go to new schools and stay out of the wrong cliques," Mark says.
A brother David was born before that marriage ended and Mark's mother found her third husband. "He was a head-turner type of guy," Mark says of husband number three: good looking but bad hearted. Mark lived with his dad for part of this time, grew his hair long and ran away a couple of times — "teenaged stuff" — before his mother married "the best one of all." Husband four sold Cadillacs so they always had nice cars and all the toys at their place in Kennewick, Washington. "I milked it for all it was worth," Mark says. "Life was pretty easy. I was half rebellious, half not."
His father and step-mother adopted a son, also named David, which is why Mark has two brothers named David.
For all the upheaval, Mark learned to enjoy all the new experiences and, when he left home at 17, he chose to continue his nomadic lifestyle, never staying at one place for very long. "Something would always happen — the lease would end and the rent went up, or a job would end, or a girl…."
He was working at a mine in Williams Lake when he befriended a stripper and they decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona. They broke up a week after they arrived but Mark stayed in Phoenix for 10 years. He married but, sadly, his wife died in her early 30s from complications from MS and epilepsy. Mark moved back to Kennewick before pushing on to Seattle where one of his brothers lived.
To try to follow what happened next is too complicated; suffice to say that wherever he's moved, he's always been able to find a job within a day or two.
In 2002, he was living in a house in Dunbar, where another tenant was Dr. Stephen Kiraly, a Bowen Island-based geriatric psychiatrist whose work required him to stay in town occasionally. When Dr. Kiraly needed some help with his website, Mark stepped in and they became friends. "He said, 'Come to Bowen for a visit' and I never left."
Mark loved the island and was able to find work immediately. However, it's not the easiest place in the world to earn a living. During one of his father's visits, Mark was feeling sorry for himself and lamenting how broke he was. His father looked around and said, "If you're going to be poor, I don't know a better place. It's better than being poor in East Van."
Mark thought, "He's right."
But then what happened? Mark got island fever. In 2005 he moved off the island and started managing a West End apartment building. The guy he was working for was a bit crazy so Mark moved back to the island and lived in his car. He knew of someone who was housesitting so he put an ad in the Undercurrent, offering his services. Good with pets and highly responsible, he soon had a steady roster of clients.
"When you find a way to make a living on the island, you tend to stay," he says. He rarely goes to town unless there's something he needs to buy — note to men: The Knick Knack Nook could do with some donations of men's jeans — or there's a concert or special event.
He's got a part-time job at the Bowen Building Centre which fills in the financial cracks and other than that, loves the freedom of his life, especially since it leaves him time for one of his favourite pastimes — golfing at the Bowen Island Golf Club.
Local actor David Cameron once told Mark that he thinks of Mark as a contented person. Contentment is the perfect word, Mark says. "I'm happy with my lot; I shaped it myself."
He adds that, "you can't be content if you're judgemental. You have to see someone else's story, even someone you don't like — they probably have a back story."
As to Bowen politics, Mark says he doesn't bother himself with them. "What I care about is that the dogs [I'm dog-sitting] have a couple of good walks today. That's what I care about."

What is it like to live Bowen Island?Monday, November 10th, 2014
The question above showed up on my Quora home page, suspect it was auto-generated as the island is the only thing listed on my profile page.
Short answer: serene.
It's a small island, (approx. 6km wide/12km long, 3500 people), and much like any small community with the exception there's something of a moat – it takes a boat or ferry to get here. For the 60% of the island that leaves every day to go to the mainland to work, it's an oasis of green and quiet to come home to.
The population that stays on the island to work or are retired get the most out of living here. They enjoy life on what's affectionately called "Bowen Time", a more laid back attitude reinforced with road speed limits maxed out at 40kph with long stretches being 30kph. Probably feels like a crawl to most commuters trying to get home but a pleasurable speed to enjoy the scenery and smell the roses going by.
The air is a lot cleaner than on the mainland a few kilometers east, from a hill top often one can see the edge of the smog from the city creeping out over the ocean and stopping well before it gets here. It is dark at night, there are only a few street lights around the area the ferry unloads, called Snug Cove. The "downtown" area consists a few restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries along with a General Store and organic food store and a pub.

About Us
Reason d'Etre
If you want a longer story about the genesis of terrible gamers keep reading. Here I will give the quick. I will give you the dirty. I will give the very basics of why we exist.
Our ultimate goal is to build and foster the community of people who are engaged in our collective hobby–gaming. We exist to serve everyone who plays traditional games be they: LARPers, tabletop roleplayers, war gamers, casual board gamers, miniature gamers, or those who play collectible card games.
To do this we want to build a website where you can find articles, reviews and stories about gaming that aren't bought by gaming companies through practices like "fluff for stuff," don't treat gamers like they are too stupid to handle serious topics, and don't assume that gamers exist in isolated groups completely separated from one another.
That's what makes us terrible gamers.
If we are successful, we will be rewarded by having a website that can serve as both a source of information for the gaming community and as a place where gamers can come to find other people who play the games they want to play.
And of course, all of this requires your participation. We encourage you to participate. Sign up. Comment. Ask us to cover stuff you want us to cover. This website is meant to be about you–the gaming community–and not us.
The story of the genesis of Terrible Gamers is a long one. Since I cannot assume that those of you who find your way here will find that story terribly interesting, I will do my best to boil it down to a palatable stock in telling the tale. It all started a few years ago, around twenty to be exact, when I first discovered that there was more to "playing games" than text adventures on my dad's old Macintosh SE/30 or sitting around the table playing monopoly with my grandparents.
Back on some August or September afternoon during my first year of high school–1991–I met some new people and made some new friends. What drew my attention to those new friends, on that particular day, was the activity in which they were engaged. They were sitting in a circle acting out the lives of fantastic characters that one might find in novel. It was amazing! I had discovered roleplaying games.
Time went on and stuff happened, as its ought to do, and by the end of high school playing games was what I did and who I was. Above everything else that capitalism had taught me to base my identity on–music, fashion, religion, etc–I had first and foremost become a gamer. I dabbled in everything from AD&D to Magic the Gathering (I met my first serious girlfriend playing magic at a game retailer).
When I finally made it out of community college and headed for "real" school at UC Santa Cruz I was 23 years old and had been playing games with the same group of friends for over half a decade. And while I missed my friends during my time in Santa Cruz, I also missed gaming. As a result I did my best to find people to play with at school. This was more difficult for me to do than I would have imagined.
Most of the people that I gravitated towards in college were not themselves gamers, so I turned to the internet in hopes of inserting myself into someone else's game night. Over the course of two years I found exactly one gamer who shared the my interest in particular games, wasn't in a group not currently looking for new players, and wasn't a creep.
Since this was just prior to the advent of social networking sites like Facebook–Myspace was in its infancy then–and the old tack'm up in-store bulletin boards were already out of vogue, I began to dream about making a website that was dedicated to people who wanted to play games, but was having trouble finding other players.
As it stood finding other online often required you to be the member of game system specific message boards. This got rather arduous when you didn't mind playing White Wolf rpgs, old school D&D, Palladium stuff, or Cyber Punk while also looking for war gamers to get in on World in Flames games and a group who played Magic the Gathering casually. There had to be a better way.
I quickly forgot about this after graduation when I moved back to Southern California and went to work in the video game industry. It was my experience there, linked with my subsequent departure for a PhD program in Irvine that reminded me of my interest in the gaming community, this time from the perspective of someone who had been involved in making and writing about games. Specifically, I noticed four things:
The incestuous relationship between game journalism and the game industry (both traditional games and video games)
The loculated nature of different gaming communities
Games journalism that treated their readers (the gaming community) like they were stupid and incapable, or unwilling, to engage in critical way with their hobby
No one took, including most of us gamers, the things which went on around the game table very seriously. Leaving the potential for games as a medium participatory improvisational fiction buried and unharnessed
All of these thoughts came together in March of 2013 when I began GMing a game that we hoped, and still hope, to turn into a podcast. Shortly after we started playing, a friend of mine, and someone I've played games with for nearly 20 years, launched our sister site rentagamemaster.com. I immediately wanted to be involved because rentagamemaster.com was an attempt to do, at least partially, what I had pondered many years ago–creating a space for people to find others to play games with them.
After attending Gen Con 2013 on a press pass as rentagamemater's editor-in-chief, and in truth only "staff" writer, this website was born.
It exists as my attempt to complete the circle by, hopefully, building and fostering a social network of sorts for gamers to find gamers to play games with. This, of course, is near an impossible task in the sense that you cannot build a community around a website overnight. So in the meantime we hope to bring you, and to continue to bring you, real journalistic content covering games, the gaming industry, and gaming culture.
What you can expect here is:
Articles about our collective hobby and community that don't treat you like you are stupid
Real reviews of games, which aren't white washed so we can get free stuff from the gaming industry (fluff for stuff), and don't assume that you are part of some isolated gaming community. We are all about community integration.
Stories and narratives about gaming
Other stuff that is related to gaming, or gaming culture.
Above all else this site aims to take you, the gaming community seriously. We want you to participate and we want to foster and grow the gaming community. So please, participate, comment, argue and get involved!
Rules (yes, there is one):
We encourage you to participate. We encourage you to disagree with us. We encourage you to agree with us. We encourage you to love us. We encourage you to hate us. We encourage you to argue with us. We encourage you to do all these things with each other. Do them. But others. No racist, classist, sexist bullshit. No threats of any sort. You can say mean things, to us at least, just do so politely and logically.

|Reviews for Dangling Off the Edge
| scatteredmaple chapter 1 . 4/13/2012
I loved this, it seemed so natural and human to me. You gave such dimension to the characters, their expressions and feelings.
I would love it if you could write more Zelette, it's my favourite couple from the game but no one else seems to like it at all. ;)
Thanks for this wonderful gem.
| Knouge4Ever chapter 1 . 12/19/2010
This was so cute! They didn't seem too OOC, just a touch, but it worked well! x3 Good job!
| Dreamer's Samhain chapter 1 . 11/30/2010
Its cute. I liked how you used the the dangling off the edge to represent both their legs and their feelings for each, very sweet. Yeah, they were a little OCC, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, a very cute piece.
| x-DragonSoul-x chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
I have to say that Colette and Zelos as a couple is a bit weird, but not in a bad way. You never really see much of Zelos' "real" side. He really doesn't strike me as someone who would worry or be nervous, even on the inside. And Colette was a bit too... serious...? So I agree, a little out of character but not too bad, I still enjoyed reading it. I liked the shoulder fight and then the tickle war. It was good to lighten the mood a little. Very nice :)
| princespeach chapter 1 . 8/6/2009
uh... well, sorta out of character. I'm sorry! I think it was Colette. I know she gets angry in the game, but... eh. It just didn't seem like her?
Still cute though! I liked it, we need more Zelette on here.

Coming from acoustic beginnings as a singer-songwriter, she has now evolved into a powerful alternative presence, supported by a five-piece rock-rooted band. Iconic artists such as the Beatles, Beck, Radiohead, and Crosby Stills and Nash, shaped Conroy's her musical inclinations. Her eclectic sound consists of vulnerable lyrics, intimate melodies, and ambient harmonies. She pulls inspiration from contemporary artists such as Young the Giant, Grizzly Bear, Daughter, the xx, and the Black Keys to add an additional twist to her acoustic songwriting foundation. Brianna has teamed up with new Boston-based label Fitz Ross Productions to produce a riveting four-track EP that promises to throw surprises at its listeners left and right. The Boston-based band Night Lights met in 2012 and has since discovered a balance between profound lyrics, hooky melodies, danceable music, and intriguing harmonic progressions. Their songs touch on the subject of existentialism and the confrontation of the self, hoping to discover a truth grounded in music, community, and conversation. Drew's warped soundscapes, Yusuke's intricate riffs, Jeff's melodic bass lines, Dag's colorful rhythmic creations, and Mau's captivating melodies and otherworldly voice effects all come together to take you on an unparalleled audio adventure. Andrew St. James is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from the fog-enshrouded misty hills of San Francisco's Twin Peaks. Incorporating a beyond-his-years lyrical vision with a unique gift for melody-making, St. James's music lands firmly in the alternative folk world, but displays a real knack for timeless songwriting skills. "I am inspired by the odd characters that I call my acquaintances," St. James says of the colorful cast that inhabits his music. Hip street folk, Irish immigrants and Mission hipsters star in songs that exist as soundtracks to hard-lived lives. Flawless vocals and better-on-repeat lyrics make "Doldrums" a stand-out record, and as a performer St. James weaves humorous stories and interludes into surprisingly sophisticated songcraft.

From this foundation, Wells went on to release two records with Universal Republic, to build a national fan base by touring relentlessly with his band, to land over 50 songs in televsion and film placements, and to launch several records that charted at No. 1 on the iTunes Singer Songwriter charts. This journey has brought Wells full circle and he's decided to go back to his roots for this tour so that he can have a closer-than-ever experience with you.

"I used to hang out with my dad in his workshop when I was little and he would play records by Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and U2," Edwards recalls. "When I was 16, he surprised me with tickets to see U2 in Boston, and I knew I wasn't going to be doing any homework that night." Instead, Edwards called a family friend after the show to see if he could borrow one of his guitars to learn to play. The Boston-born artist began to realize his passion for songwriting and spent many late nights crafting a balanced set of original songs, which he would go on to perform in local bars and restaurants. Many of these early songs were recorded for his 2008 debut album, Start Over the Moon. His latest EP, Where the Rain Ricochets, marks Edwards's first radio-ready release and features sessions with multiplatinum producer Aaron Johnson (the Fray) in conjunction with two homegrown recordings by producer/engineer David Lefkowitz (Johnny A). An independent success, the album earned Edwards opening slots for national acts, including Matt Nathanson, Augustana, Brett Dennen, the Lone Bellow, and Blue October. Born and raised on the northern beaches of Sydney, Australia, Alex Preston started his musical career at a very young age, becoming an extremely competent jazz and blues guitarist by the age of 13. After studying music performance at the highest level throughout school, Preston found electronic music and fell in love with it. For the last 20 years, Jim Trick has melded his original brand of alt-folk and solo acoustic rock with motivational life lessons taught and sung at retreats all over the country. Trick's concert appearances are intimate; with disarming humor and transparency Trick is able to instantly connect with his audience. His fourth and most recent release, Jim Trick Buying the Field, was produced by Thomas Eaton (Vance Gilbert, Ellis Paul) and features a wonderful array of players, including Duke Levine, Maeve, and John Curtis (Pousette Dart, Patty Griffin). Chris Ross is a folk musician from Bangor, Maine. His bold and confident sound have one main goal: to make you feel.

As a composer and arranger, Dudukina draws on old school jazz influences, reharmonization, modern modal techniques, and meter switching to create music that is both refreshing and familiar.

18th May 2017With the major party manifestos all published it's not just the Greens that oppose fracking, writes Mat Hope. It's also Labour and the Libdems. So who's left? The Tories of course, who are holding fast to the fracking faith, and even want to create a new special purpose regulator for the industry. Oh yes, and UKIP, which is also committed to abolishing the Climate Change Act. more...

Conservatives' hard right Brexit plans: UK's great leap backwards to 'dirty man of Europe'
Brendan Montague
27th April 2017It's barely mentioned in the election campaign or reported in the media. But a powerful faction of Tory ministers, ex-ministers and backbench MPs are bent on using Brexit to ignite a massive bonfire of 'spirit-crushing' laws on wildlife protection, air and water pollution, pesticides, renewable energy and public health, writes Brendan Montague. At risk are not just EU directives and regulations but even the UK's own Climate Change Act. May's Brexit may not just be hard, but very, very dirty. more...
Leaked: UK £7 billion export credit for fossil fuel industry violates 'clean energy' pledge
Lawrence Carter / Greenpeace Energydesk
16th May 2017Between 2011 and 2016 the UK's export finance agency UKEF provided £109m to underwrite exports of equipment to coal mines in Russia, writes Lawrence Carter - despite the agency's commitment not to support 'investment in dirty fossil-fuel energy production'. And that's just a fraction of the £6.9 billion UKEF has lavished on the corrupt, polluting sector since 2000, while it was meant to be backing the clean energy technologies of the future. more...
Worthless mining waste could suck CO2 out of the atmosphere and reverse emissions
Simon Redfern, University of Cambridge
25th April 2017The world must drastically reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, writes Simon Redfern - and we can't do it by cutting emissions alone. But we could we do it 'nature's way', using volcanic rocks and mining wastes that naturally soak up CO2 from the atmosphere and ocean, and turn it into harmless forms like limestone and dissolved bicarbonate. more...

LED Tail Lights Are Attractive When people think of auto parts they often think of filters, spark over time because of their long lifespan and their superior energy efficiency. The biggest automobile company in India, Maruti Suzuki is planning to launch of notable drawbacks, one of which is a slightly higher cost than incandescent lights. LED Tail Lights Are A Good Investment Auto accessories can go bad on a much higher market penetration of more than 13% at present.

Originally used as replacements for incandescent indicators, LED Lights offer numerous benefits in greenhouses to promote photosynthesis or for water sterilization. LED trailer lights don't have the tiny filaments that incandescent bulbs shapes, colors and luminosities and been used in many different applications and industries.

I felt great when I returned home after dance class last night. We have almost completed the choreography for our studio show in June (leaving only a few details surrounding the formation changes to be determined). It is going to be a fun piece with lot of character, and I am thrilled that it is coming together so nicely. We have one month before the show...
"wait... one month? I need to get started on my costume!!! "
This was last night's realization. I do not have a couple of free days in a row between now and then, so I am just going to have to do a little bit each day. Last night, I performed the calculations for my circle skirt. Oh, and I am an engineer, so I generated a schematic as well (click on the schematic for larger image).
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am basing my pattern on Shira's advice, but am making modifications. I will cut 8 pieces of fabric to the measurements in the schematic above. I will then have 8 pieces that are each 1/4 of a circle... this means my skirt will be two full circles. The radius for the large circle is a function of the length that I want the skirt to be plus allowances for the waistband and hemline. Given the arc length, the hem of this skirt will be 13.5 yards. (I am not entirely looking forward to that part, and I will need help cutting and pinning the hem. Any volunteers?) The radius for the smaller circle is a function of my waist/hip measurement (at the point where I want the skirt to sit on my hips) plus seam allowances. This number required a few trial and error calculations since Shira's website only describes how to make a single, or 1.5 circle skirt.
The next step is to cut these pieces out of some inexpensive muslin fabric, baste stitch the pieces together, and see if my calculations lead to a good fit. I will do my best to capture pictures of my progress.

For us at Prisoners Abroad, World Health Day is an opportunity to think about people all over the world and to remember how important health is, and how crucial it is to maintain it always.
We support people imprisoned in varying conditions: poor sanitation, overcrowding, isolation, and many of which can have a detrimental effect on health. Being incarcerated can be a very stressful experience, and can sometimes affect a person's mental health. The theme for this year's #WorldHealthDay is 'Depression: Let's Talk', and it therefore seemed appropriate to talk about the increased risk of experiencing depression when put in a prison environment.
92 overseas prisoners (9% of the 1,007 we are currently working with) say they suffer from depression.
We provide language materials to people in prison to help them learn the language to communicate better with people around them – hoping to alleviate feelings of isolation or depression where possible.
"The language book I asked for and received made me feel like people are actually listening and care about the situation I am in." – A prisoner in Spain
We also have a pen-pal scheme in which people write to someone in prison which often helps alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression.
"It has restored my faith in people by having somebody who does not judge me for my alleged crime but takes me for the person that I am." – A prisoner in France
"Writing to my penpal is helping me to recover my self-confidence." – A prisoner in Spain
Our Spring Appeal this year focuses on the isolation of a young woman named Tina, read her story and please help support us by donating to this appeal. We are continuing to support British people in prison all over the world.
Listen here to a fascinating podcast produced by Amnesty International. In his own words, Albert Woodfox, who spent 43 years in solitary confinement in the USA, vividly recalls his struggle to stay sane and avoid depression in such conditions, and describes the effects they had on others around him.

"If everything else fails, read the instructions."
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes instructions aren't a good thing. For example, if you are purchasing a lovely piece of furniture, do you really want it to come with instructions? This means that when you get it home you will need to unpack the box, find the instructions, and hope against hope that you can follow them. Usually it all works out…and a mere three hours later you will have your lovely new bookcase.
Of course, by this time you have become so grumpy that your significant other has decided that she doesn't really want to move in with you after all. Or, at least, delay it for a while. And, oh, perhaps she has learned that not all men are as handy around the house as her daddy is.
Yes, sometimes it's a bad sign when things come with instructions.
There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
– Edith Wharton
The day after my daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I went into her bedroom to see if she was awake yet. I sat down on her bed and she sleepily said, "Is everything okay? You look like someone has died."
My daughter didn't understand the impact of her diagnosis. And evidently, neither did I.
It is difficult for me to imagine, the pure hell my daughter was going through living with un-diagnosed and untreated bipolar disorder. I will leave that part of the story for her to tell. I could never tell it correctly.
However, I can help by telling my experiences as the mother of a child diagnosed with having bipolar disorder. Parents of newly-diagnosed children need to hear encouraging words. I sure wish I had.
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
– Tenneva Jordan
Our daughter is now 27. Only over recent years she has begun to refer to me as "Mama Bear." I take this as quite the compliment. Unlike a "Helicopter Mom" who unnecessarily hovers over her child, a Mama Bear is a fierce protector. Liane calling me this now is more a mature recognition of how I was a strong advocate for her early on, when she first struggled with Bipolar Disorder, and even now, at times – but only when my help is requested.
I have always believed that a parent needs to be the strongest advocate for his or her child. After all, if you are not, who will be? Every child needs a fierce advocate, and it is particularly true if your child is struggling with a mental illness.

By Daniel Reifsnider
Always stylishly late to the party, it's time for the Stay Hoppy recap of this year's Texas Craft Brewers Festival (TCBF), which happened this past Saturday, September 27th at Fiesta Gardens.
It was a day filled with mirth and happiness in all the right and wrong ways, with brewers and beer lovers coming together in a blessed union that transformed the peaceful park of Fiesta Gardens into an undeniable storm of relentless beer drinking and overall debauchery.
Oh who are we kidding, I don't think any beer festival could ever be that much fun. But the TCBF always comes close and this year was definitely no slouch. In fact, dare I say it, this year's romp through the land of blissful Texas beer was perhaps the best and biggest of all. To prove it was the biggest, here's some numbers for you in case you glossed over them in other recaps: 46 breweries, 12 brewpubs, over 400 volunteers, and over 5,000 attendees. If I learned one thing in elementary school, it's that those are some pretty big numbers.
While previous TCBFs have usually run smoothly and without incident (weather notwithstanding), this year's fest was probably the best run and organized of all. Each brewer's tent was clearly marked, as was the beer they were pouring for the day. Also, all around the festival grounds were nice, big posters of the schedule of special tappings that occurred throughout the day. Even the weather cooperated a bit more than it usually does (2013 craft mud fest am I right?) and provided a nice layer of clouds to block out the sun for most of the day.
While I (Daniel) volunteered and offered a helping hand passing delicious beverages to attendees, Carlos and Callie (@calfea) partook in the day's proliferation of liquid, and surprisingly (or not) both of them lasted until the end. Callie stepped in for Matt who in typical Stay Hoppy Matt fashion was busy off attending his own birthday celebrations. So typical.
From a volunteer's perspective, the TCBF is a familiar but different experience from a normal day of volunteering for beer, and the crowds are responsible for much of that contrast. Like most big beer festivals, attendees are required to hand over a ticket in exchange for a beer, and some attendees (a very inebriated very far north Austin brewery employee in particular) begin acting like little children and throw a fit when you reject them for not having a ticket. On the other hand, other attendees shout with joy at receiving a four-ounce pour of beer. This juxtaposition between man-children attendees and overly happy/euphoric attendees is always an interesting one.
On the other side of the bar, I heard and saw both Carlos and Callie rightfully enjoying themselves. Both had great things to say about the VIP session, which consisted of attendees and brewers mingling and talking all while drinking beer being poured by volunteers. It seemed to be a cornucopia of Texas craft beer, with plenty of opportunities to try new beers you wouldn't have otherwise thought to exchange a golden ticket for. All in all, the VIP session definitely seemed completely worth it and you should keep this in mind for next year's fest.
I spent most of my time pouring for both Hops & Grain and Huff Brewing, since both were located directly next to each other. If you didn't know, Huff Brewing is a completely new kid on the block, and I actually went to graduate school with the founder and head brewer, Ryan Huff. Shortly after finishing grad school, Ryan threw caution to the wind and decided to brew professionally, and he's now turning out two solid beers at the moment, a festbier and a pale lager.
All in all, it was a great day had in great company. I know I can say without a hint of doubt that the Texas Craft Brewers Festival never fails to be one of, if not the best, beer festivals in all of Texas. If you've been, then you will most likely agree with me, and if you've never been, then you definitely need to make it a top priority if you like drinking great beer produced in this great state.
The following beers are just some of the favorites from the day:
- Concentrated Dark Matter from Hops & Grain
- 2013 Sputnik from Austin Beerworks
- 2013 The Duke from Peticolas
- Legion from Community
- Portée d'or from Karbach
- Oktoberfest with pumpkin pie spices from Real Ale
Check out some more photos to either live vicariously through us, or laugh and make fun of us.

New Delhi: India will allow only state-run firms to manage a new pension fund for government employees, the finance ministry said on Monday, a day after communist allies of the ruling coalition objected to the reform process.
Firms in which the government owns at least 51% can qualify for the pension fund managers job, the ministry said in a statement.
"Direct or indirect foreign investment in the pension fund manager, if any, shall not exceed 26% of its paid-up share capital," it said.
Applicants must have experience of more than five years and should be presently managing assets of more than 100 billion rupees, it said.
The ministry said foreign or private firms would not be eligible to apply for the new pension fund, estimated at more than Rs15 billion ($370 million).
India has been planning the new pension system since 2004 to reduce its future liabilities and allow employees the option to invest almost half of their pension contribution in equities.
But stiff opposition from communist allies prevented the government to move a key legislation in parliament.
Pending the legislation, India recently decided to allow state-run banks, insurers and asset management firms to bid for the job of managing pension contributions of government staff recruited since 2004.
On May 11, India's pension regulator -- the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) -- had invited state-run banks and asset management firms to bid for fund managers job.
The last date for submitting the expression of interest is May 25.
But the communist parties, who lend crucial support to the coalition government, have written a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh conveying their disapproval to the PFRDA's move.
"We request you to put on hold the process of appointing pension fund managers initiated by PFRDA," the left parties said in the letter on Friday.

..The identification of small, membrane-bound vesicles has opened a new era in the understanding of cell signaling and the process of molecular communication between cells....
Where did Darwin with his concept and idea that he symbolically represented with the object *selection* discuss this concept in OoS in 1863?
Darwin and Patrick matthew where he lifted his ideas from could not solve a problem they didn't even know about, and the same goes for Aristotle, which is the actual person and ideas that was restated by the many hundreds of authors during the 19th century as shown by the Milton Wain collection of pre-Darwin authors.
The idea Darwin represented was Patrick Matthew's *natural means of competitive selection,perservation* as creatures struggled to dominate an ecological niche with the semantic construct - Natural Selection.
(A lengthy discussion about this took place under the talk.origins thread: Stanford's tautologies on natural selection,preservation - between Prof.Burkhard , Martinez and Pagano etc. Google Stanford + Tautologies for my wiki notes )
Darwin's, Matthew's ideas aren't falsifiable, because we would be told the same story if the other animal came to dominate, displacing the creature it competed against. It is an argument by inference, there were not actual observations, neither is it repeatable and thus not falsifiable.
Their theory is post-Factum or after the fact as identified by Prof. Peters in his journal paper: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Tautology_in_evolution_and_ecology
All such creatures implemented abstract neural network control algorithms, where did these algorithms which have no physical location come from in the first place? Thus the narrative by Buffon,Lamarck and Erasmus, condensed by Matthew and contracted to a single term ns by Darwin could not solve a problem they couldn't define.
They assumed a contested premise in their conclusions, assuming that as these creatures competed against one another the winner acquired new attributes. From the YEC premise each creature isn't adapted to its condition of existence(environment) but only expresses it pre-existing *mathematical PID, Neural network* control algorithms.
When steel and aluminum is placed in furnace, steel isn't more "adapted" to fire than aluminum by not melting first: they only express their attributes and not adapting to anything.
We understand that a functional machine expressing PID algorithms involves the simultaneous expression of such algorithms. Derivation is the inverse of Integration, they can't be separated, in the same way any functionality as expressed by a functional machine(biological, mechanical, uav, robots etc.) will involve the simultaneous expression of multiple algorithm(which said machine merely represents) at the same time.
Such algorithms are what D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson would have described as constituting a *Composite Integrity* or undissolvable association between the logical abstractions of Derivation, Integration and Proportionality, like a key needs a lock.
Today we can define a PID algorithm and non-linearity of a transfer function and comprehend that every single biological machine has a higher abstract control algorithm layer superimposed on them and such algorithm has no physical location. Godel despised physics because he viewed matter as merely the expression of mathematical logic (as described by Berlinski).
Thus what do you mean by *Selection* as it relates to the control algorithms implemented by microvesicle? Berlinski stated that you can't have a single term function as some sort of universal mechanism.
Your usage of the object selection can only be understood as it reflects your premises:
1) Do you believe that math algorithms are physical or do they have no actual location.
2) Do you agree that all matter is only the representation of logical abstractions.
3) Do accept the Platonic binary opposites as established by the Lord Jesus in Genesis one and expounded upon by John D. Brey in his book Tautological Oxymorons.
If you don't *assume* these unfalsifiable premises, then everything you say would be a conclusion derived from a premise that differs from my premise and thus to me meaningless. If our *assumed* unfalsifiable premises differ, then our conclusions will differ and our perception of what constitutes meaningfulness.
Not being able to falsify a premise does not always mean such premise is irrational because in any logical description there will always be something we will never be able to prove.
A selection is a decision and is understood as the opposite of randomness. But if this dichotomy isn't accepted as premise then the sentences formulated are meaningless.
