As an independent film and lit junkie, I will be the first to rattle on about the exciting crossovers between books and cinema. That said, some directors do a better job than others of capturing narratives and developing characters in the same complex way that literature does. Enter, Mike Mills. Seriously, this man's ability to meld autobiography, history and fiction into a seamless work of art will make skeptics sing his praises (ask my uncle). I would marry him were he not already married to another one of my favorite writers, Miranda July (can I ask to be their step-child)?
I was first introduced to Mike Mills through his film Beginners (2011), which is on Netflix right now (go watch it). Beginners, a semi-autobiographical work, traces two stories: the story of a struggling artist falling in love, and the story of a relationship between a dying father and son after the father comes out as gay. Mills' own father came out as gay late in his life, and Mills saw this film as a way to better understand his father and to come to terms with his parents' decision to marry. Like all good Indie movies, Beginners searches for intimate moments that capture both the difficultly of love and the promise of starting anew at any age. Oh, and there's a dog that talks.
When I heard that Mills' new film, 20th Century Women (2016), was generating Oscar buzz, I was thrilled. Rarely do Indie movies make it into the mainstream Hollywood scene, but Mills deserves it. Like Beginners, 20th Century Women is also autobiographical, but this time he paints a portrait of his mother, Dorothea (Annette Bening), in a coming of age story set in 1979 in California. When Dorothea decides that young Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann) needs the advice of young women to "help him become a man," a funny, touching and occasionally gut-wrenching story ensures. The difficulty in knowing one's parents, womanhood and feminism all feature alongside other fascinating characters played by Elle Fanning, Greta Gerwig and Bill Crudup.
Now that Mike Mills has been catapulted onto the stage of mainstream Hollywood, I'm worried that his films will lose their credence and down-home charm. Part of what makes them so great is their loyalty to the small moments and interactions that make us who we are. They find the beauty and pain and never pretend to make ends need in the cloying way that these kind of slow movies sometimes do. In each of his works, one can see the touch of a artist trying to work through the material of his own life and, in doing so, discovering of stories that intimately connect us.

Here's a question that's worth considering, if you're ever wondering about the process of R2 or why it is our magazine picks what it does. It's a confusing process to someone not intimately involved in the publication, so let me give you a little insight on what R2's process looks like. Treat this as a little update as to where we are at this point in the semester.
Step 1: Submit - Submit - Submit! The Solicitations Phase
As R2 is a university publication, we operate on the schedule of an academic year; we spend the fall semester preparing for the spring publication and distributing the previous edition of R2. Starting at our Open Mic Night in October, we are open for submissions and accept until mid December. The most important part of this for staff members is the solicitation process: making posters, doing announcements, popping up around campus handing out copies of last year's magazine, and anything else we can think of. As a result, R2 usually has a hefty number of submissions from which we choose.
Step 2: The Big Read
The Big Read is an annual event held on the first Friday of the spring semester and lasting for a number of hours. It's the biggest event of a staff member's time in R2, completely exhausting, and also one of the most exciting days of the year. Over winter break, our section editors, managing editors, and editor-in-chief have gotten to work sorting through some submission, but what makes it to the Big Read are a huge collection of pieces. There, each staff member sits around reading and thinking about what sort of place the pieces they're reading could have in the magazine, doing this until every piece has been read three times. From this process, we get a general opinion - any piece that was somewhat enjoyed by the three readers makes it to section meetings.
Step 3: The Fight Begins
The next step is section meetings: meetings conducted by section editors with the people that read and select for that particular section. Each staff member signs up to read the possible pieces we may publish and leaves comments, and then those comments and any further opinions are discussed in section meetings. And section meetings can go from complete agreement to complete dissent, where a few members of the staff just fell completely in love with this one piece that the other members just aren't getting. The problem is just that every piece that makes it this far is incredibly, incredibly good. And there are a few things we're considering when compiling the magazine: what would make the section fit together as a whole, how much we would potential ask of the writer to adjust (we don't want heavy edits, obviously), and how much the piece stands out and calls to readers. Since the reading experience is so subjective, it can be super hard to come to a decision! But it's in these decisions that our magazine begins to come together and be formed into a real publication.
That's where we are now - making selections and forming a complete magazine. It's a long process to distill the many incredible pieces that were submitted, but we're working hard to produce a magazine that functions as a cohesive unit to showcase some amazing voices on-campus.
Prepare for a follow-up post to this one to show the rest of the publication process! And if you submitted something and don't see it in the end result - don't be discouraged! There are a plethora of incredible voices and pieces in our submission pile that made it a super-long way down the process. It's always possible that a piece we just couldn't fit in one year turns into the standout piece in the next. Producing R2 is a process that's identical to life - timing matters, and art is never standstill.

Choose Your Own Adventure
One of the most in-demand books from the bookshelf in my third grade classroom was a "choose your own adventure" book. It was a tattered baby-blue paperback and we passed it around from kid to kid. You chose a character at the beginning and then followed them through a haunted house story of some sort. The exact twists and turns of the story were chosen by you. Depending on how you chose, you were led to one of several possible endings.
To be entirely honest, this is an authorial recommendation, and an obligation to yourself: One Must Read something by Haruki Murakami in their lifetime. His writing is the type that stays with you days afterward, reminding you of that one really vivid image or strange character or confusing plot point you think might just be allegorical. While I was in Germany this summer, I spent a non-negligible amount of time in English bookstores looking for cheap copies of Murakami. I finally picked up a copy of Kafka on the Shore for about 6 Euros. I could tell by the back cover and the weight of the book in my hand that this was something I wanted to get something out of - and I did. It took me the entirety of fall semester to get through this book, but I was rewarded for my time.
There are a few reasons why I want to push Murakami's books into your life. His work is decked out in both Western and Eastern philosophy, playing out in symbols and conceits that double as rich allusions and explanations of thought. There are so many thoughts from so many reference points that the result is immensely complex and beautiful: see a scene in Kafka on the Shore when a man dressed as Colonel Sanders brings a character to a traditional shrine, quotes some Hegel, and bamfs out. This sort of scene brings me to my second point: Murakami's work is magical realism, and everybody needs to experience some magical realism. Maybe it won't be your thing; at first, the book wasn't my thing, either. I wasn't sure what I understood and what I didn't, what I was supposed to be confused about and what the semester's stress was keeping me from getting. About halfway through the book, though, I accepted the absurd happenings of the story; there are fluid and rigid rules to the universe that Murakami plays with, and it's effective in creating a vivid world ripe with otherworldliness and distance. He manages to keep the reader in his characters heads, exploring the uneven world through their eyes. I really valued the way the story threads started out incredibly separated from one another and then blended together – even the blending is somewhat unexpected.
Long story short, there's a reason that Murakami is widely regarded for being incredible. His work – even in the translation we English-speakers get – is captivatingly beautiful, sensual, and musical. It's worth reading. Even if magical realism, converging pairs of strange characters, and layered allusions aren't your thing, I still recommend stepping into the confused existences that Murakami manages to paint in Kafka on the Shore. Hopefully, you'll be swept away into the world that isn't so different from our own, but is just a version painted by brushstrokes of a vitally other existence.

On Listening
The perspective shared in this blog post is that of the author and not of R2 as an organization. This editorial is covering an event and its meaning and is not meant to further a political platform.
About nine months ago, I purchased what I thought was a rather ironic t-shirt from an online vendor. It was the first political tshirt I'd ever bought, and for the record, it was not very political, and its irony only appears now. I don't take a stance; all I could take was the opposite of one. IDK NOT TRUMP THO 2016, was the only political slogan I could bear to plaster onto my chest. It was the primaries at the time. Things obviously changed. Still, at the time, I got my absentee ballot and spent a long time in my dorm room with a pen not knowing what to fill out. What I filled out in the end was essentially worthless: it was a little streak of rebellion, a little streak of ink that went on to become 1% - maybe less - of the primary vote in my state. A stance of nothingness.
Today, the English Undergraduate Association at Rice hosted a "Resistance Read-In," an event where any member of the community could read a piece of writing - poetry or prose, original or not - that they thought represented or had come from a people that had not been heard, or a group that were not being listened to. Political stance of the event aside, the key here was being listened to. And it was about something hard: saying no when people either want you to say yes, or don't want you to say anything at all. "Our goal is to fill today with sounds of acceptance and solidarity," read the signs on all side of Willy's Statue.
As people walked through the Academic Quad today, passing between their classes as they normally would, there was a surprising amount of silence. Most of the people going about there day were forced to listen to the single voice – cutting and demanding attention, asking to be heard. There's something about listening that's hard on this campus. Maybe it's just the fact that there's a helicopter landing on a building nearby, churning through the clouds to suck all the words out of the air. Or maybe it's just the fact that we just don't try very hard.
The read-in asked for people to say no and for people to listen, but it's not as those two things always go hand-in-hand. I've heard far too many voices saying no so loudly they won't listen to people saying yes, either. In writing, we can say much, but only some of our voices carry. Some of them are closed in poetry books or wrapped up on the sites we never read. I would argue that some people in this country have gotten used to being invisible and never should have needed to – and if you feel silenced, shout. There's no need to tear the helicopters out of the sky and smash their pieces on the ground, because if we say listen instead of no, if we make the space and say we're listening, voices will shine out - over the helicopters and over the passerby.
Today, there were a lot of incredible pieces read and a lot of incredible lessons learned. We heard all sorts of voices, some sad, some absolutely elated, and all of those voices are valid. It can be difficult for us to realize that sometimes. Today's read-in was important to a lot of people and an excellent event, because it reminded us of the incredible voices that are out there and the incredible power of the written word - that which makes the air around it still and the people around it listen. I ask you to consider a thought by Jose Marti, read clearly and confidently this morning: that "Trenches of ideas are worth more than trenches of stone."

Brazos Bookstore, an independent bookstore located conveniently at the edge of Rice Village, has become my new happy place. From the outside, it looks nondescript, its darkened windows blending seamlessly into the beige strip mall walls. It could be a nail parlor, or a dry cleaner, or a secondhand grocery store. Opening the door, however, you are greeted with bright shelves piled high with books.
Just the aesthetic appeal of a sunlit room wallpapered with colorful book sides is enough to make my day, but Brazos has much more. It's a small bookstore, only a single room, but it makes the most out of the space, keeping few duplicates on hand and cramming every surface with more books. The wide selection is supplemented by the handwritten staff recommendation cards dotting the walls. I can enter the store with no sense of direction, read a few blurbs, and come away with a new stack of books I want to read. The staff members themselves are some of the greatest resources Brazos has to offer. They are well read and extremely helpful. Each writes articles for the bookstore's website, populating it with reviews and interviews. The Brazos Bookstore staff also host events for fellow literature lovers, from book clubs to signings to readings, including their upcoming hosting of Zadie Smith.
Overall, Brazos Bookstore is more than a store. It's a place where a small community of Houston readers can gather to celebrate books, and I highly recommend making the trek out to Bissonnet Street to experience it.

Book Review: The Paper Menagerie
Another year and another semester have begun, bringing with them the usual battery of stress, mayhem, and occasional delight as we all transition into 2017. I personally believe that the best way to cushion such transitions is with a great book, and to that end I'd like to tell you guys about The Paper Menagerie.
Published in 2011 by author Ken Liu, this book generated a veritable storm of critical praise. It won two of the biggest awards in Science Fiction, the Hugo and the Nebula. I picked it up on a whim at my local bookstore this holiday (why is it that all of the really Earth-shattering books come to us by chance?) and it completely consumed my life in the best possible way.
The Paper Menagerie is a collection of fifteen short stories about life, science, and human connection. Like many great works of speculative fiction, it strikes out to the boundary dividing science and technology from spirituality and fantasy, blurring the distinctions to render a reality that is gritty, charming, often strange, and resoundingly human. Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a Sci-Fi fan, I can confidently say that there is something in these stories for you.
Although the collection as a whole is basically flawless, I had some stand-out favorites. There is pure hard-boiled goodness with a sharp techno-thriller twist in "The Regular", which chronicles the efforts of a world-weary private investigator with a haunted past who will stop at nothing to bring justice to the victim of a brutal but publicly ignored murder. "State Change" switches gears to magic realism, portraying a society in which human beings carry their souls with them through life as physical objects that must be guarded and protected; in this harrowing world, a timid young woman seeks out warmth and companionship while straining to preserve her ice-cube soul. And in "The Waves," the ultimate fate of the human race is laid out poetically in an epic saga of deep-space exploration that challenges the meaning of human identity and love in the face of cosmic eternity.
It's a truly beautiful collection that celebrates culture, history, science, and pretty much everything that makes life meaningful. If you do decide to pick up a copy of this wonderful book (I would offer up mine, but it's already out on loan) feel free to hunt me down and tell me your favorites, too.

I dont know if Spiceworks supports AIX machines but I can offer an alternative to find the MAC.If you cant get into the AIX and gather the MAC that way you can always open 1 DHCP address unreserved and watch for the AIX machine to take it, then it's MAC address will be listed in the DHCP pool for you to get.

"No Response from Maternity Scan Unit"
Posted by Anonymous
I have been trying to book at maternity scan for a week, no answer on the phone number I was given, always goes to voicemail and none of the messages I have left have been returned.
I have tried to speak to the main reception number (which is not based at St Marks apparently), who can only put me through to the same number.
I tried to speak to Wexham park radiology as the person on main reception thought they might be able to re-direct me, on hold for 12mins and then told they couldn't help.
Still not spoken to anyone, despite trying every number I can find.

National Cancer Institute Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers
Glossary of terms in lay language
In 1978, Richard Bloch, co-founder and honorary chairman of the board of H&R Block, Inc., contracted cancer. With the help of his wife, Annette, and the doctors who said he could lick the disease, and with a stubborn determination to survive, Bloch waged a bitter, painful, two-year war on the insidious disease.
Today, he is cured.
So dramatic was his fight and recovery that Bloch and his wife have decided to spend their lives helping to convince others that they too can cope with cancer.
The purpose of this book is to advise cancer patients, their relatives and friends what could be involved and what some of their options are. It is also to advise doctors and other professionals what reactions there could be to statements or treatments. The more knowledge we have about this dreaded disease, the better we can help ourselves and others cope.
If you have questions concerning a specific type of cancer or where to get treatment, call the Cancer Information Service, a free service of the National Cancer Institute, on their toll-free number: 1-800-4-CANCER.
By calling this number, you will automatically be routed to your local Cancer Information Service. If there is no Cancer Information Service in your area, it will automatically connect you with the National Cancer Information Service lines in Rockville, Maryland.
Request the state-of-the-art therapy for your type and stage of cancer. Also, request all current open protocols from everywhere in the United States for your specific type and stage of cancer. This will give you peace of mind knowing your doctor is giving you the best possible treatment. If you have any questions, ask your doctor.

That makes this especially useful at intake when only slightly tuned (up to 70cc Sport) or original pristine engines. The suction accelerates the gas column and produces the higher speed with more air. However, this process is somewhat disadvantageous in high end racing and tuning, since the motors rotate much higher speed and less time is available for filling. For these engines, we recommend using shorter intake.

Belmont Park: Air Support works hard to get it done in Bowling Green
ELMONT, N.Y. – John Velazquez felt Air Support was cruising so nicely in behind the pacesetting Bombaguia that he thought he was going to win Saturday's Grade 2 Bowling Green Handicap at Belmont Park by open lengths.
But when Velazquez pulled Air Support outside and into the clear for the stretch drive, he had a much different feeling.
"He forgot that he was running," Velazquez said. "That scared the heck out of me."
But with the length of the Belmont stretch in front of him, Velazquez gave Air Support a few reminders that he had more work to do and got Air Support past Bombaguia in the final strides to win the $200,000 Bowling Green by a head. It was 7 1/4 lengths back to Brilliant Speed in third. Brujo de Olleros and Newsdad completed the order of finish.
The win was the fifth from 15 lifetime starts for Air Support, his first since he won the Grade 2 Virginia Derby by a neck in July 2011. Since then, Air Support had been winless in five starts since, including runner-up finishes to Turbo Compressor in both the Colonial Turf Cup and Grade 1 United Nations.
Because of the pedestrian pace established by Bombaguia – he ran a quarter in 26.06 seconds, the half-mile in 50.55, and six furlongs in 1:14.90 – Air Support was kept much closer to the pace than he is accustomed. Still, he had to work harder than one would have expected to beat a horse who had never before run in a stakes.
"The pace was slow, he was laying up closer than he usually does, so that could've taken away from him a little bit," trainer Shug McGaughey said. "He wouldn't have won if he didn't have him where he was."
With a strong headwind against him in the stretch, Air Support, a son of Smart Strike owned by Stuart Janney III, covered the 1 1/4 miles over an inner turf course labeled good in 2:06.12 and returned $4.90 as the favorite.
McGaughey wasn't sure what would be next for Air Support, but didn't rule out the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 3. He also mentioned the Sycamore at Keeneland on Oct. 18 or the Red Smith at Aqueduct on Nov. 3.

The Mentalist, Falling Skies, & Homeland Casting News07/13/2012
The Mentalist: Casting related scoop on season 5 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich
The Mentalist | We start this week's column with a dip into the reader mailbag, where Erin asks: "Do you have an Inside Line on The Mentalist?" As a matter of fact, the CBS procedural – which, remember now, has moved to Sundays at 10/9c – has put out a casting for not one, not two but three FBI agents. Yeah, apparently that season-ending shoot-out has left a big multi-jurisdictional mess to be mopped up. Among the new recurring G-people are a handsome "good guy" named Gabe, a "ferocious alpha female" named Alexa and quiet lunk named Reede. The Mentalist, as reported earlier this week, returns on Sunday, Sept. 30.
Falling Skies: Scoop on episode 2×06 "Homecoming" from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich
Falling Skies | Another Sunday night drama? Sure! This weekend is when Karen (played by Jessy Schram aka Cinderella) resurfaces, and under quite extraordinary circumstances. "I won't spoil it for you," showrunner Remi Aubuchon starts, "but I will say that when she reappears, you just won't believe what's happening with her." What, is the former 2nd Masser no longer lip-synching for Mr. Overlord? "I'm hesitant to say any more," Aubuchon hedges. "But the way she comes is really quite interesting." Especially for Margaret, I have to imagine. (Hey Hal – it's no contest, really.)
Homeland: Casting related scoop on season 2 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich
Homeland | Ack, we now turn to one of The Mentalist's time slot rivals, which alsokicks off its new season on Sept. 30. (I feel dirty. And yet, there's scoop to share….) I have learned that one of the Season 2 roles I told you about, Brody's chief of staff, has been cast, and Broadway vet Alexander Gemignani has landed the potentially recurring gig. Now you're like, "Wait, Brody's in office already?" To which Damian Lewis says: "Well, let's put it this way: Brody's political career is somewhat accelerated in the first episode. In fact, a lot happens in that first episode." A lot, but not anything as regards the burning questions coming out of Season 1. "You know what? Any trails which were left open – like the mole, the razor blade [slipped to Hamid] and the [missing] memory card – none of them are touched on in the first episode," Lewis shares.

I am about to loose any street cred I had regarding knowledge of fibular hemimelia. Seriously. Maybe just stop reading now. Why come here if I don't know basic information such as…
Nick's ankle is fused.
I didn't know that.
My only excuse is that I swear Dr. Standard never used the word fused to describe Nick. Confused yet? I certainly am.
Dr. S basically said Nick's ankle is very typical for his type of fibular hemimelia. "His type" hmmm… I know it's type 3 and I know there are subtypes but I have no idea which of those it is. I knew it was the type that needed the super ankle surgery. I knew that there were bone cuts and all kinds of things done in that surgery that I never cared to ask for details on. I have never claimed to understand that stuff. Thank goodness!
What I do know is that I usually referred to it as on the severe side. That was the type according to me. Severe or maybe I said moderate to severe. Because he's done so well and we had options. In a way severe sounds like the worst. Nick isn't the worst it could be. He had bones in his foot to work with.
Anyway the fact that I had to ask Dr. Standard if Nick's ankle is considered fused felt really dumb. I write about fh here, I support other families through email and the Facebook group. They come to me for information. Like I know what I am talking about, meanwhile I missed this bit of info about my boy.
We have always focused more on what the result of what was being done would be. The last surgery Dr. Standard put Nick's foot in a better position and he straightened out his tibia which had a bit of a bend still and lengthened to the point of Nick being even! Thats what that mega fixator did. That's what I know. But I am thinking I missed something (since I didn't think Nicks ankle was always considered fused or was that word just not used?).
It also doesn't matter. Nick has what he has. It is what it is. His fused ankle is working for him. He has a stiff but stable joint. I knew that already. He has no pain. He walks and runs and swims. He talks about trying new things. He does not feel limited by this fused ankle. Fused sounds like a bad word at times in the fh groups… "It might have to be fused", "Better to amputate than be fused", and so on but it's not a failure and not a bad word and just because I am using it to describe Nick now doesn't actually change anything.
Except now I can tell parents who fear fusion that it's just fine! Nick is fused and fancy free. Nicholas will likely tell me tomorrow "I bet fused and fancy free sounded cooler in your head than it did out loud". And I will tell him it doesn't matter cause I don't care about cool and since my street cred is gone already, I've got nothing to loose.

Reviewed by Johnny Butane
Starring Leslie Andrews, John McGarr, Charlie Trepany, Stephen Geoffreys
Directed by Eben McGarr
You really can't get a more descriptive title than Sick Girl for this twisted slice of indie goodness. Though the production values aren't top notch, the acting is questionable and some plot elements will make your eyes roll back in your head, it's still a slice above most indie fare.
The story is of Izzy (Andrews), a girl whose been left in charge of taking care of her younger brother after her parents die and her older brother, who she's in love with, leaves to join the Marines. Smart move on his part, all things considered. Izzy is very protective of her younger brother and will do anything to stop him from being picked on. Anything.
The only parental supervision they have is Barney (McGarr), a huge biker with a gentle soul. He was a friend of their dad's, you see, and feels responsible for making sure the kids are okay. Not responsible enough to take away the hand-cannon Lexxie buys her 9-year-old brother for Christmas, but responsible enough to at least make a fuss about it.
Among the rest of her problems, Izzy has a penchant for violence, as well. If you wrong her or her brother, chances are she's going to either kill you quick, if you're lucky, or capture you and put you in her barn, if you're unlucky. Either way your demise is going to be nasty and humiliating. That's just how Izzy rolls.
You see, what Sick Girl lacks in strong thespian talent or compelling storytelling it makes up for in pure fucked-upness. Kids kill kids, kids kill themselves, a girl is raped by a severed penis, a nun is pissed on, a sister soul kisses her older brother like it's going out of style … and more There are quite a few "what the fuck?!" moments in Sick Girl, usually brought on by Izzy's sudden mood swings and violent outbursts.
Unfortunately Sick Girl also spends way too much time showing you the "normal" side of Izzy's life, which is terribly dull. I know it was done to establish just how surprising her true nature will be to most when they find out what she's been doing, but the scenes rely on these characters to act, which most of them aren't very good at. Surprisingly Stephen Geoffreys turns in one of the most believable performances as a schoolteacher whose rat is stolen & starved by the school bully.
You'll spend a lot of time waiting for the next horrific thing to happen, but when it does you'll likely feel it was worth the wait. You can feel that there's some real potential in this troupe, all they need to do is focus on making sure more time is spent on the performances, because that really was the most distracting part of the whole experience.
McGarr has a seriously twisted idea of horror and something tells me Sick Girl is just scratching the surface of what we're going to see from him in the future. Synapse has the film slotted for a 2009 DVD release and you really should give it a chance if you're patience for indies is strong, Sick Girl's got a lot going for it.

A powerful explosion believed to be from a suicide car bomb this morning rocked a military checkpoint along the Biu-Damaturu road, killing unspecified number of persons.
The explosion occurred at the time Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari was delivering his nationwide Democracy Day speech.
Though details of the blast is still sketchy as at the time of going to press, an eyewitness account said several persons were feared killed and many injured.
The same checkpoint had been hit by bomb blast in the past believed to be from the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

Birthday Cake For Deceased Baby?
Decorating By ThreeDGirlie Updated 23 Oct 2009 , 5:01pm by monizcel
I have a friend that went through a terrible experience almost a year ago... She delivered her baby boy at 24 weeks gestation. He struggled to live for a week before they decided to take him off the ventilator to let him go be at peace with God.
One thing she struggles with is that she wants people to remember that her baby boy was ALIVE, and to celebrate his life.
So I was going to ask her if she would mind if I made her baby boy a cake on his birthday as a way to celebrate his life. I think this is something that would mean a lot to her, but I don't want to offer until I have at least some idea of what I could do. And I'm really stumped for what to do for this cake... Any ideas out there?
I have a friend who lost a newborn son and she wouldn't be able to handle something like that, but you know your friend and what would comfort her.
Maybe a round cake with angel wings, a couple of blue roses, and "Happy Birthday in Heaven," and the baby's name, if your friend is religious. I think this is one of those occasions where a really elaborate cake wouldn't be appropriate.
While I've never gone thru it myself, when I was 16, I had a baby brother die at 3 months old. He never came home from the hospital. I was old enough to see what my parents went thru and how they dealt with it. It would have seemed "odd" to have a birthday cake for him ... but that's us. As Texas said, you know your friend and what she would like.
If her internal struggle is wanting folks to remember him, another idea might be just simply 'Still Remembering' or something like that.
I think it's touching that you want to do something like that for her. I've seen other cakes on here that were done for a child that passed.
If it were me, I think I could handle it. Being so close to losing my son almost 2 years ago, I know that I would still celebrate his birthday in some way. I like the idea of having a little cake and maybe letting some balloons go with little messages to him in heaven.
I think that is such a sweet and touching gesture. My son was a full term stillborn. I have been making him a cake every year since I lost him five years ago. Every year we celebrate his birthday and I truly believe your friend would be so touched.
A birthday cake that associates with a little boy would be perfect. If you look in my photos I just made my son a baseball hat for his 5th birthday/anniversary. Do not put anything with "Remember, Heaven, etc". Maybe make a teddy bear, a red wagon, etc... If you are not comfortable with putting Happy Birthday, then just write his name.
I had a friend who lost her 14 mos old baby after a LONG battle with leukemia. She never wants anyone to forget that she had that little girl as her daughter.
I would think a small (8") private gift cake would be very appropriate! (Not presenting it at a public party or anything, just a nice boxed private gift.) And I would actually probably decorate it like you would any other birthday cake...something nice and cute and baby boy-ish...something the baby would have liked if he were alive.
Its very sweet of you....
By the way, off topic, I saw recently this really cool website where a lady takes a blanket or clothing article from a lost loved one (you send it to her) and makes it into the most adorable teddy bear....very very neat.
Everyone is different and we don't know your friend...personally I have had sad episodes in my life and I could never handle something like this........only you know...or someone even closer could tell you maybe if this is something she would want.
I don't think that I'd appreciate something like that, so it looks like everyone had a different opinion, Maybe ask your friend if she'd like you to make a cake, and if she says no then just get her a "thinking of you" card or something a little more low-key.
This is very thoughtful of you. I have not lost a living child but have miscarried and while it is different...if it were me I would really love the idea and would want to celebrate that beautiful little life. I think something small and simple would mean a lot to her.
She said her friend wants everyone to remember her little baby's life, so I would think any reminder of that would please her very much. Some people prefer to forget....but the ones that prefer to remember appreciate every little thought that anyone gives them.
I think a teddy bear would be an awesome idea, with a blue bow or something...
I have had a loss and must say while I always will remember and have a broken heart....I could not have a cake......I think the thinking of you at this time card someone mentioned, would be very nice.
Just to clarify - I am not planning to surprise her with a cake on her baby's birthday. I want to OFFER to make a cake. But I want to have an idea of the direction to go in case she says yes. Even if she doesn't want to "celebrate" (which I really think she will, and have discussed it with a mutual friend), I know that she will appreciate the thought. Cake or not, I definitely plan to do something during this time - whether it's a card or flowers or whatnot.
For ideas, I think a teddy bear may be the direction to go. And if she does want to go ahead with a cake, I will give HER the choice on the wording, if any, that we use.
Thanks for the thoughts ladies.
I think it's a wonderful gesture to offer this, I too had a stillborn at 32 weeks and I struggled with people not remembering or "pretending" that my son never existed. Even the hospital refused to give me a birth certificate (only a death certificate)...because they said he wasn't a "live birth" so it is as though he never existed! Well, that was all I need to fly into a tyrade........why on EARTH are you issuing him a DEATH certificate if he was never ALIVE! Doesn't make any sense.
Anyhow........I completely understand your friends struggle with this. One way to help her help others remember him is to just talk about him often as though you were talking about any one of her other children. My children all know their brother's name because he's a part of our family and we talk about him all the time. It really helps the healing process too, or at least it did for me.
I think its a sweet idea, my mum had a full term stillborn girl before i was born, she would of been 23 now i think and my mum ceelbrates her birthday, Not over the top, but my granda (my mums dad) always sends her a big bunch of flowers that day, no card, the flowers are enough. On her 21st, i bought a big bottle of very expensive champagne, and we toasted her for her day, my mum cried buckets, sad tears and happy tears too. but she told me after, she loved it, it had never occured to her to do that, and she was so glad i did.
Releasing baloons is not a good idea because they kill/injure our bird population.
As for the cake, that is up to the individual family, so I would go with their wishes.
sorry for my idea... i've seen it done before and thought it was a sweet idea...
I would definitely ask her if she would like one. I lost my daughter just before her 4th birthday. I can only tell you from my experience I would not have been able to handle it.
Sorry, I should have read the entire thread before commenting. If your friend does want the cake, the suggestion of a teddy bear with a blue bow sounds perfect!
I was recently asked to make a cake for an angel baby. She passed at 5 months old and the parents remember her birthday every year. I made a plain round pink cake and incorperated the elements that the parents requested. there was a princess as this is what they called her, balloons in the colours that they reliece and giraffs as that was the soft toy she was buried with.
ThreeDGirlie, my thoughts go out to your friend and I believe it is a very sweet offer you are planning.
I will need to refer to this thread and the wonderful ideas next year, as a close friend has just lost her baby - born at only 25 weeks/3 days and lived 20 days at the hospital before passing. As if that wasn't devastating enough, she lost her father about 2 weeks prior to the birth. I know when baby H's birthday comes around next year this will be on my mind.
Like the others, I believe a teddy bear is a precious idea.
I lost my boy/girl twins at 24w1d earlier this year (they lived for three days, but had too many complications from being born so early).
I also want to remember them always...my made my hubby and I parents.
I am planning on making a birthday cake for them. I will do either a take on the theme I would have done for their 1st birthday or just a general nicely decorated birthday cake.
I don't think I would personally do a rememberance cake but that is me.

Currently, if you want to get a Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 with connectivity features going beyond the scope of Wi-Fi, grabbing an LTE model from Verizon is your only option. However, there seems to be a chance of an alternative popping up on T-Mobile's shelves, if the device that we just came across ever sees the light of day.
A Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 model with support for T-Mobile's 4G bands has been approved by the FCC, meaning that the nation's fourth largest carrier might have yet another 4G slate joining its lineup in the near future. Listed with its SGH-T859 model name, the tablet has the exact same dimensions as the Wi-Fi-only version of the GALAXY Tab 10.1 and can run on T-Mobile's 1700MHz AWS spectrum, which the carrier uses for its HSPA+ network.
Still, you have to bear in mind that getting the FCC's seal of approval does not make the release of the above tablet imminent. Besides that, T-Mobile has never mentioned any plans of offering the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 in one form or another, so you might want to wait until an official announcement is made before getting your hopes up. Nevertheless, if you are already considering grabbing one should it ever hit the shelves, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

I couldn't stand my house. Mom and Dad were constantly bickering back and forth.They thought I had no escape but to sit up in my room and read for a living. Secretly, I had plenty of other escapes and given that no one knew but me and maybe a couple friends of mine, they had no clue.
The night time was my time. Dad was always passed out drunk and mom was long gone asleep. Every night this was what I did, and I loved the feeling it gave me. I'd creep down the stairs, make sure my dad wasn't still awake, and walk out the back door.
The air had a chill in it, and I didn't prepare completely for what was going to happen.
I ran a couple blocks to my friend's house, climbed in his window, and we waited. Finally we could hear the loud, obnoxious snoring of his dad, and we headed out for the night. Every night was new. Nothing ever felt the same. Not that I minded, because in all honesty, it was great.
On that night, we decided to head down to the river. It was quite the walk, but the way it was during the night was worth it. Twenty minutes had passed before we reached the bridge. I heard the roughness of the water, although there was no wind. We trudged down the loose gravel trail that led down to the river bank itself.
Travis, my friend, pulled out his pack of cigarettes and offered me one. I denied. We walked beneath the bridge and turned on our flashlights. The graffiti was great. Most art intrigued me, but there was something different about graffiti. Dicks and satanic symbols covered some of the great art there was. A faint drip of water caught my attention.
I waved the smoke from Travis' cigarette out of my face and squinted my eyes to see where the water was coming from. I creeped closer so I could hear the water continually. I jerked my flashlight to where I thought the sound was coming from.
It was a small eroded hole in the concrete of the bridge. I took my camera out and wedged my hand through the crevice. The flash blinded us temporarily, but we recovered. I squinted at the picture and tried my best to make out what it was composed of. The flash slightly helped, but the hole looked much deeper. Nothing was abnormal about it except not seeing the bottom. I clawed at the dirt and stone around the hole to try to get a better look. I made a hole just big enough to peer down into, and I did so. It was far darker than before, so I repeated to process. This time it was big enough to just peek the flashlight through and my head. This time the view was much more defined. There were iron bars bent and placed in the way of a ladder. Down at what appeared to be the bottom, there were two large puddles of very murky water. Water consistently dropped into these, hence the sound of an echoing dripping water.
I pulled my head back out of the now man-made decay and turned around. I told Travis what I had seen and what we should do.
I took my phone out of my pocket. The clock said it was 12:43 in the morning which gave us about eight or nine hours of whatever. I dug the hole larger and larger, making it big enough for a human body to fit through. I went first and hoped that the stability of the iron bars, that I was about to put all 204 pounds of weight on, still existed. I tapped it with the tip of my foot and felt an easing feeling come over me.
Travis held on to my hand until I was able to grab one of the twelve or thirteen bars. He tossed my bookbag down afterwards and started his solo trek. With him being lighter and undoubtedly more flexible, I wasn't worried. We both made it down and spun in a couple circles, we were halfway in awe of it and halfway terrorized by it. I took my flashlight back out and illuminated one of the three tunnels branched off from this cylinder room.
We played our chances and walked down the the one that looked more appealing to us. Water dripped down from the top of the hallway and landed all over our bodies. The passage seemed to go on forever before anything changed. Finally after this time spent walking, we walked on top of a drain of some sort.
The thought baffled me. We knew we were already twenty feet below the ground and the thought that it went even deeper terrified us. We glanced at each other, and we knew what the other was thinking. We lifted up the heavy steel drain gate, and I turned on the flashlight once again. I poked it down and dared to look. There were more iron bars bent to a right angle and stuck in the wall. I pulled out my phone and it was 1:32. It seemed impossible that only forty-nine minutes had passed.
This time I was more stable to step down on the ladder steps. Travis followed close. The air was much cooler down here, which we estimated that it was another twenty feet down. There was only one tunnel leading off this small room. I heard a noise I hadn't heard in awhile. A voice. It scared me beyond belief. I stopped in my tracks and considered turning around and calling it a night, but Travis pushed me forward. I snuck down the hall and found a doorway, where there was no door, and peeked in. A small flame illuminated the room and nothing appeared.
I walked through the doorway and something wrapped my face. I started to swat at whatever it was. Travis put his hands on my shoulders and walked me forward. He turned me around and took the cobweb off my face. I was too afraid to speak words, so I just nodded my head. He patted me on the back, and we searched the room for anything. There was nothing to be found anywhere. We walked out and continued farther down the passageway.
Room after room passed, some illuminated, some black as the blackest black. Suddenly we came upon the end of the hallway. There was no ladder this time, nor a drain gate. We knew we hadn't come all this way for nothing. We searched for another doorway to anything, if it meant going down, then that's what it meant. I pulled my phone out and it read 3:26. That seemed logical. We had been down there for about two and a half hours, and we had a max of four, give or take some.
We ran down the same hallway again, this time stopping at the lit up rooms and looking in. We had gone through ten different rooms before we finally came upon something interesting. In this room there was graffiti. Names, numbers, pictures, and they were wonderful. No vandalism of penises or satanic symbols. I walked up to the walls and ran my hand across the walls. The concrete was wet with seeping water. It smelled awful, but the artwork was just intriguing. I was in a trance. I walked around the room twenty maybe thirty times before Travis pushed me into a corner of the room and covered me up with one of his oversized hoodies he wore.
Heavy breathing passed down the hallway. That of a large (obese) human, but it walked much faster. I had to see what time it was, I checked. 4:10. That meant it was time to go. I whispered to Travis, and he wasn't listening. He covered my mouth with his hand and listened for the breathing to go away. Finally it did. We jumped up, threw everything in our backpacks and ran. I could see the light that shone from where the drain gate was. I ran at what felt like an impossible speed. Room after room passed, at a light speed. Everything was blurred. Travis started coughing up a lung and and slowing down. We were within fifty feet of the ladder, with no heavy man in sight. A few seconds later and we were there. Well, I was. Travis had fallen behind by a little bit.
I squinted once again. A shadow had shown up. It was far in the distance but we had to hurry. Travis caught up quickly, and we climbed up the ladder. We got to the top, slid the drain gate over the hole as best we could and took off to the left, which was the way we came. We ran with no light for what seemed like an hour, but in my heart I knew it couldn't have been more than ten minutes.
Suddenly we heard what we never wanted to hear. The drain gate was thrown back open and there was a terrible screeching sound. Everything inside of me wanted to turn around to see what was behind us, but my brain was full of 'what-if's'. The light from the original cylinder room was up ahead. As the yelling and screeching got louder, it occurred to me that we'd have no time to climb another ladder. We were maybe thirty foot from the room, and the sound kept gaining on us. We were worn out. We hadn't planned on that, and if we had, by God would I have changed my mind. Travis started wheezing again, and I knew that could be it. I heard him let out a gasp as he stumbled over.
Now I was alone. I was scared of the unknown and now that Travis had fallen, maybe I would have time to get up to the normal world once again. The screaming stopped, and I heard no more from either of them for a couple seconds. I started thinking, and luckily I did. I had dug the hole to get in, just barely big enough for us to get in, not us with our backpacks. I had two options: run another hallway for who knows how long, or ditch the backpack which had my flashlight, camera, and food in it. The only thing that made any sense was to ditch it all. I wanted to live not run forever into the unknown. I threw it down, second guessed myself, picked up my flashlight, and went up.
I squeezed my way through the tight fit and felt lucky to see natural light again. I fell to my knees and thought what I'd tell Travis' family. I sobbed shortly, but knew I had to keep moving.
I dragged the largest rock I knew I could handle and put it in front of the hole. It left just a small gap, and I felt safe enough to jog back up the hill up to the bridge. I looked over the railing and took another look of the dick infested graffiti. It reminded me of something. It looked just like the paintings in the underground room. Questions flew through my mind. I wonder how they matched, why were they the same, and what it all meant. I stumbled back down the downhill trail and ran my hand over the graffiti. The concrete was wet from seeping water. I turned around to the miniature boulder, and it was moved. The manhole was gaping wide and I dared to walk over to it. Step by step my breathing grew heavier and heavier. Water logged my shoes, and I once again heard the dripping sound that once intrigued me. I kneeled down and dropped my head slowly, concentrating on the water that was dropping. It dropped, and dropped, and dropped. Second after slow second, the water created more and more of a stagnate water pool down at the floor of the cylinder room.
Suddenly I was grabbed from behind. I was lifted up, and my feet started kicking. I kept trying to scream, but nothing came out but a bunch of mumbled spit. I felt the sharpest pain I had ever felt before and suddenly there was blood all over the concrete support of the bridge. It was new art.

Chairman of National Selection Committee Dilip Vengsarkar minced no words when he said he wanted to field his best eleven for the series to help them prepare for the World Cup and keep the winning streak undisturbed.
Tom Moody, Sri Lanka's coach, has said his team was pretty sure of the brand of cricket they want to play at the World Cup in the Caribbean next month and the Indian tour would be used to boost their confidence.
''There is nothing that we have to work on in India. We have crystallized in our minds the brand of cricket we want to play. What we want to get out of India foremost is to have a successful tour and go to the World Cup with the momentum of a few wins under our belts,'' said Moody.
As the teams prepare for the dress rehearsal to the World Cup the opposite captains will have their work cut out for the series. There is a certain urgency in getting about the job and a military precision with which the preparations are being monitored and faults eliminated as both ready for the slugfest with an eye on the World Cup.
The Cup dreams have added that extra bit of urgency to the teams - the huddles look more compact, the camaraderie looks bloated and the nets livelier.
Rahul Dravid, after the tremendous success against Sri Lanka in the last home series when they defeated the emerald islanders in a tennis match like score of 6-1, would certainly want to hold sway.
Dravid has repeatedly said that he was unwilling to take any risk before the world Cup and would like to see the series as a stage to fix the winning combination. Virender Sehwag and Munaf Patel are making a comeback in this series. Sehwag was rested after a string of poor performance and Munaf is recovering from an ankle injury.
While a much slimmer and sharper Sehwag looked ready to deliver and is almost sure of getting a berth, things are not so sure for Munaf. But the bowler would be played sometime during the series to test his spunk and form.
Sourav Ganguly looked set to open and it may be Sehwag at the other end tomorrow at Eden. In that case the reinvented Robin Uthappa will have to sit out in spite of his blazing 70 of 40 balls against the West Indies. Ganguly, who does not have a tall score at his home ground, wants to turn the tide here tomorrow. ''A century would just be fine. I know I have not got big scores here,'' he said.
With Yuvraj Singh coming back from a knee injury certainly in the scheme of things, it seems that India might go in with six batsmen and four bowlers.
There were talks of resting Sachin Tendulkar. But keeping the local sentiments in mind the Mumbaikar is all-eager to take to the field. Dravid would certainly like to lead the charge. So it boils down to whether India will play three pacers and a spinner, in which case Zaheer Khan, Ajit Agarkar and Irfan Pathan, who can be drafted in as a bowling all-rounder, are a surety, unless the think tank decides to rest either of the former two for Munaf.
The toss-up between Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh will be decided in the last minute in that case, with the Turbanator certainly having an edge on this ground.
Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan side has moved on from the time when they were thrashed by India. And they would want to set the record straight here.
''It is also a good opportunity for individuals to fine tune their game whether it be with the bat or the ball. There is nothing that we have to work on in India other than winning,'' said Moody.
It was after a dismal tour of India at the end of 2005 that the wheel of fortune started to turn for Sri Lanka, but Mahela Jayawardene has not quiet forgotten the pain of the humiliation.
''The focus might be on the World Cup but what we are trying to refocus is that India is a place that we haven't performed well recently. We want to rectify that and put it right and perform well.
If we do that it will be good for us, in terms of confidence, going into the World Cup,'' Jayawardene had said recently.
A losing scoreline of 2-0 in Tests and 6-1 in the ODIs and their failure to qualify for a place in the ICC Champions trophy semi-finals have made Jayawardene's boys determined to put the record straight. ''India actually started our revival. Today we are in a different situation, consistently performing,'' said Jayawardene.
In the 14 months that have elapsed since the tour to India, Sri Lanka have won 20 of their 40 one-day internationals (17 losses and 3 no-results) and six out of 11 Tests (3 losses, 2 draws). What is so creditable about this record is that 85 per cent of these matches have been played overseas and Sri Lanka has a 58 per cent win record.
Sanath Jayasurya has regained his vintage form and Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakara and Jayawardane are in fine flow. This settles the batting worries. The tough series in New Zealand saw the batters get a fair success under tough conditions.
''We are stronger in bowling than when I first came into the team in 1997. The improvement has been in the pace department. We've always had spinners who bowled well in subcontinent conditions but the problem we had when we went abroad was we never had attacking options because we used to bowl our spinners even on seaming conditions,'' Jayawardane said.
With the likes of Lasith Malinga coming of age, Sri Lanka certainly have the arsenal packed in their bowling department.
Bowling at 150kmph consistently he has given the Lankan a bowling a much-needed boost.
Resting Chaminda Vaas, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chamara Kapugedera and Ruchira Perera for the Indian tour has given the opportunity for experienced hands like Russel Arnold, Upul Chandana and Nuwan Zoysa to show what they are capable of.
The Eden promises a hard wicket with fair pace and loads of runs and if the Marauder from Matara gets going and the Sachin of Najafgarh plays it up, a run feast is on the cards. The dew will not be a factor even under the flood-lights, though the weather forecast of a generally cloudy sky will have a few hearts fluttering.
A packed stadium, two steely-jawed teams fighting out for early supremacy and finding the rhythm for World Cup and an electric atmosphere is just the correct recipe for a One Day International.
And Eden Gardens is being set up for one tomorrow.

Auction theory can be viewed as a branch of game theory, especially bayesian games, but it can also be viewed as a separate field of economics. Auction theory develops mathematical models of auctions. What distinguishes it from the rest of game theory is that its development has been strongly motivated by a familiar real-world institution, and this has given the theory a special flavor.
Auction theory originated in the important work of a Nobel-prize winning economist William Vickrey, Counterspeculation, Auctions, and Competitive Sealed Tenders.[1]
There are many real-world examples of auctions. Think of eBay or Amazon. Or think about Google that prices online advertising through auction. Non-internet examples include offshore oil auctions administered by US Department of Interior, highway procurement auctions (e.g. the Indiana Department of Transportation INDOT), or timber auctions administered by the US Forest Service.
Auction theory distinguishes between open auctions, in which bidders bid with at least some knowledge of other bids already submitted, and sealed bid auctions, in which bidders have no such information. eBay is an example of an open auction, as are auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's. Most of procurement in the US is conducted through sealed-bid auctions. These are also known as sealed tenders. Off-shore oil is also leased through sealed-bid auctions. The US Forest Service sells timber through both sealed-bid and open auctions.
Auction theory also distinguishes between private value auctions and common value auctions. This distinction is made according to the nature of the items sold. If the item has a price (valuation in the terminology of auction theory) that is more or less perfectly known to a buyer, then this is a private value auction. For example, think of buying a digital camera on eBay. Before you enter a bid, you must determine the maximum amount that you are willing to pay. This amount will depend on several factors, among them your level of desire for a new camera as well as the prices at which it is available for purchase elsewhere. But the main thing is that you know more or less perfectly how much you are prepared to pay, and how much other bidders value the camera is irrelevant for you. (Of course, it is relevant in the sense that you may not win the auction if others value it more, but it is irrelevant for the maximum amount you yourself are prepared to bid.)
You may be in a quite different situation however if you are bidding for a painting on eBay. Chances are you won't be allowed to examine the painting before you bid, so some of its important aspects will remain unknown before you win. For example, you most likely won't know if the painting is authentic or not. But the bidders each would receive some signal about the authenticity , perhaps by unconsciously comparing in their minds the painting's features to other paintings by the same artist. Even simpler, some of the bidders may be experts. You as a bidder would clearly benefit from the information available to other bidders. This is an example of what auction theorist call a common value auction.

Agricultural growth as a key to poverty alleviation
Poverty is a significant and persistent problem in developing countries. Over 1.1 billion people live in households that earn a dollar a day or less per person. Almost half of the population of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa lives in absolute poverty; only East Asia has managed to substantially reduce the proportion of its population that is absolutely poor. Agricultural growth stimulates economic growth in nonagricultural sectors, which, in turn, results in increased employment and reduced poverty. This further stimulates demand for agricultural goods, acting as a growth multiplier in the agricultural sector. The limited availability of new land, however, means that agricultural intensification increasing the productivity of land already under cultivation is the key to alleviating poverty through an agricultural growth strategy. Thus addressing rural poverty in the first instance is a crucial catalyst in igniting agriculture as an engine of growth in an economy. The authors conclude with a set of recommendations that, while addressing poverty in its most immediate form, promotes sustained poverty alleviation and economic growth.

* HSI +0.4 pct, H-shares +0.4 pct, CSI300 +0.4 pct
* PetroChina down again after state auditor's report (Updates to midday)
By Grace Li
HONG KONG, June 24 (Reuters) - Hong Kong shares early on Tuesday clawed back some of the previous session's big losses, while China's onshore markets also edged up in choppy morning trade.
Gains in Hong Kong were capped largely by losses in Chinese gas and oil firms, which were impacted by an anti-corruption drive in the sector.
At midday, the Hang Seng Index and the China Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong both were up 0.4 percent. The Hang Seng, which tumbled 1.7 percent on Monday to its lowest close since May 21, finished the session at 22,884.80 points.
The CSI300 of the leading Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings rose 0.4 percent, as did the Shanghai Composite Index, which was at 2,032.38 points.
On Monday, the Hang Seng was up at midday, thanks to a good China factory survey, but then it plunged in the afternoon - mystifying many analysts - and ended the day down nearly 400 points.
"The drop was totally unexpected, with a volatility that hasn't been seen for a long time," said Larry Jiang, chief strategist at Guotai Junan International.
He add that index futures-related trading and profit-taking by some institutional investors could have been contributing factors.
"But it's not likely the same thing would happen again in the near term, with the U.S markets closing at record highs recently and the Chinese economy stabilising," Jiang said.
Some other analysts also said the concerns over political stability in the former British colony could have played a role on Monday.
An unofficial referendum on democratic reforms in the city, part of a civil campaign branded illegal by the former local government and by Communist Party authorities in Beijing, started on Friday and has drawn hundreds of thousands of votes.
On Tuesday, Chinese state energy firms listed in Hong Kong were broadly weaker, amid an anti-graft campaign targetting the sector. Late on Monday, China formally charged a former head of the country's energy regulator with corruption.
CNOOC shed 1 percent, the biggest index drag, and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp was off 0.6 percent.
PetroChina lost another 0.5 percent after Monday's similar drop, hurt by a report last week by the state auditor on irregularity found at its parent company China National Petroleum Corp.
