My dream girl is someone who always lives in the present, they're always there, to talk and everything. A girl who isn't consumed by technology all the time; they're not looking down at there phone or surfing the web or taking pictures but someone who's just there. Someone who prefers face-to-face human connection rather than artificial connection through social media. I'd like her to have a nice smile, eyes that light up, a sense of humour and she has to be down to earth. She's kind to everyone, she doesn't judge them or anything, she just excepts them for who they are. She also has to be loving, caring, kind, loyal and honest - being able to speak her mind about anything no matter what it is. I want her to be my best friend and vice versa. We have to be comfortable 100% with each other. So I guess that my expectations in a relationship...10|10|0
She also has to be an old soul. Someone who likes old music and movies. I know that these are a lot of expectations and that I may not find this "girl" but I'm ok with that. If I find her I find her, If I don't find her I don't. I'm ok with being single all my life. I'm not going to be with someone just for the sake of being with them. It has to be the right person. The one that I truly love.

It's hard to argue that Sigourney Weaver isn't the ultimate badass in the Alien movies. She wields a flamethrower like it's no big deal—thanks to a little practice before filming. According to Xenopedia:
The large raised section on the front of the Flame Thrower is the result of a large (compared to modern lighters) electronic gas lighter with a U2 battery (more commonly known as a D battery) being used to create the pilot light. A remote switch was used to turn on the lighter inside the Flame Thrower. Once the Flame Thrower was lit, director Ridley Scott "liked to keep it that way".
At least Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) test-fired the Flame Thrower (presumably before using it on set) on the lawn at Shepperton Studios' backlot.
The use of the Flame Thrower in Alien began something of a tradition in the Alien franchise of flamethrower weaponry featuring in the films — Aliens would prominently feature the M240 Incinerator Unit, Alien Resurrection would feature the Draco Double Burner and Prometheus would also feature a flamethrower. Despite not featuring flamethrowers, the prisoners in Alien3 also used fire as a weapon against the Dragon.
Really, everyone just needs to get the heck out of this woman's way.
See pictures of how things looked in the film after the break.

Chapter 5 Mark test – putting a mark on an individual (animal, toddler, etc.) and seeing if they notice their altered appearance. (Can recognize what they look like and notices something different) Ross & Rachel- reason attitude change. In the process of making a decision you can actually influence your feelings. Making a list can actually be counterproductive to what we actually want. The Nature of Self Who are we? Self concept, self awareness Animals can actually be self aware (recognize themselves in a mirror) Studies suggest that chimps and orangutans, and possibly dolphins, have a rudimentary self-concept. They realize that the image in the mirror is themselves and not another animal, and when someone alters their appearance, they recognize that they look different from how they looked before. Self-recognition comes around age 2 As we grow older, this rudimentary self-concept becomes more complex Typically, a child's self-concept is concrete, with references to clear-cut, easily observable characteristics like age, sex, neighborhood, and hobbies. As we mature, we place less emphasis on physical characteristics and more on psychological stats (our thoughts and feelings) and how other people judge us. Ex: Best car= Best guy Functions of the Self Why do human adults have such a multifaceted, complex definition of self? Researchers Organizational Function of the Self S elf-Schemas : Mental structures that people use to organize their knowledge about themselves and that influence what they notice, think about, and remember about themselves. Self-Reference Effect : The tendency for people to remember information better if they relate it to themselves. Self control is a self regulatory behavior. We only have so much mental energy Cultural Differences in Defining the Self In many Western cultures, people have an independent view of the self. Gender Differences in Defining the Self Starting in early childhood, American girls are more likely to: Develop intimate friendships When considering gender differences such Psychological differences in men and women are far fewer than they are the same Important to study the differences but any particular differences you might see would be far outweighed by examining differences of a group Knowing Ourselves through Introspection Introspection – The process whereby people look inward and examine their own thoughts, feelings and motives. "Oh my gosh , I was doing that?" but you don't take into in consideration very often. We all have basic standards and values we utilize in a broad way to give us some sort of parameter as to how our behavior is being looked at Too much sense of self can heighten our anxieties or worries (I can't believe I did that, Why did I do that, etc.) Strategies of dealing with it: Avoidance, denial, drinking, drugs, etc. But it doesn't have to be negative. Judging Why We Feel the Way We Do: Telling More than We Can Know Even when we are self-aware and introspect to our heart's content, it can be difficult to know why we feel the way we do. What is it about your sweetheart that made you fall in love? How much does sleep affect your state of mind? What really determines what mood you're in? Causal Theories - Theories about the causes of one's own feelings and behaviors; often we learn such theories from our culture. e.g.: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." The problem is that our schemas and theories are not always correct and thus can lead to incorrect Out of site, out of mind If you can't beat 'em, join 'em Easy come, easy go Win a few, lose a few It's not whether you win or lose it's how you played the game No sense in crying over spilled milk Causal theories are a sense of justifying what we do with our life The problem is that our schemas and theories are not always correct and thus can lead to incorrect Knowing Ourselves by Observing Our Own Behavior Self-Perception Theory – The theory that when our (social perception theory is the same thing, only this one is about ourself) Extrinsic Motivation – The desire to engage in an activity because of external reasons, not because we enjoy the task or find it interesting. Things that motivate us from the outside. Ex: If you offer the child a big reward for reading five books by the end of the week you have changed the motivation from intrinsic to extrinsic. Intrinsic Motivation – The desire to engage in an activity because we enjoy it or find it interesting, not because of external rewards or pressures. Motivation that comes from within Ex: A child that enjoys reading and continues reading because they like to read Ex: If you offer the child a big reward for reading five books by the end of the week you have changed the motivation from intrinsic to extrinsic. Most of society starts with extrinsic motivations and the goal is to turn them into intrinsic. -Same thing as attribution error, we're just doing it with ourselves. Preserving Intrinsic Interest Task-Contingent Rewards – R Task-contingent Rewards- just doing the task How well you do with the task Understanding Our Emotions: Two Two-Factor Theory of Emotion Feelings are not fully interpreted until we get an idea of the situation that is occurring. Ex: If you just got done working out and then run into someone you're attracted to it's going to heighten your emotion. Two-Factor Theory of Emotion Feeling warm, hands a little shaky, hearts beating Sees bear = fear Exam = Anxiety Etc. Misattribution of arousal. Misread of what's going on Appraisal Theories of Emotions – Theories There are sometimes when we just don't feel emotion. Interpretation then the determination on how we feel. (Interpretation before emotion?) Knowing Ourselves When do you engage U Upward social comparison: Comparing ourselves to people better than we are Downward social comparison- giving ourselves an out to feel better about our situation. Looking downward towards someone who is worse off than we are. Ex: Having trouble paying the bills, well at least we're not as bad off as so-and-so Social Tuning – The process Adjust our attitudes to fit someone else's attitude Reasons: Ingration Self-Handicapping – Excuses after the fact as a means of the reason why Self-Enhancement – Knowledge of ourself, there is some reality to it. Sometimes we can use it to good judgement and sometimes there are distortions.

Sergio Garcia close to Open glory once again
Sergio Garcia was in philosophical mood overnight after finishing as a major championship runner-up for the fourth time in his career.
The 34-year-old Spaniard has still to achieve a breakthrough victory in one of golf's 'Big Four' events and he gave it all he could in the final round of the 143rd British Open at Royal Liverpool.
Garcia fired a six-under-par 66 for a 15-under total of 273 but he and American Rickie Fowler wound up two strokes adrift of winner Rory McIlroy.
''Everybody looks at you as second and they want to make it a negative,'' he told reporters.
''Not at all. I felt like I played well. I felt like I did almost everything I could and there was a better player here. It's as simple as that.
''I try to look at the positives and there are always a lot more positives than negatives. That's where I want to take it,'' said Garcia who was also second at the 2007 Open and at the US PGA Championship in 1999 and 2008.
He trailed wire-to-wire winner McIlroy by seven strokes at the start of the final round and ultimately it was too big a deficit to wipe out.
''I think Rickie and I tried to push him as hard as we could,'' Garcia explained. ''Obviously, it's not easy when you know that you can't make any mistakes.
''There are so many things that have to go right for you to be able to get as close. I needed to shoot at least eight or nine under.''
Garcia closed within two strokes of European Ryder Cup team mate McIlroy before his challenge came unstuck when he took two shots to get out of a deep greenside bunker at the short 15th.
''Obviously 15 was a mistake,'' he said. ''Every time I got closer he kept making one birdie and not letting me get any closer than that.
''Overall, I thought it was a great week.''
Garcia produced a typical show of emotion as he walked off the final green, blowing kisses and repeatedly tapping his heart to show his affection for the fans.
''I love the 18th. That's a feeling that nobody can take away from me and one of the reasons why I love this championship,'' he said.

I've been in a long distance relationship for two months. On our one month anniversary he was "busy" and couldn't talk. He didn't say Happy Anniversary or I love you, just "Can't talk today. I will tomorrow". I felt kind of uneasy because he said he was going to talk with his ex the day before.
On our Two month anniversary he did say Happy Anniversary. I really wanted to talk to him but once again, he was busy. This was four days ago.
Last night I was texting him goodnight and he blew up. He got angry and told me to leave him alone. I said "I'm srry." He replied with "I'm a busy guy. I need to do my hw" "Alright. Ttyl?" I sent. "Whatever. >:(" Was his last message. I didn't respond because I felt hurt.
I'm not clingy and I don't check in on him after every minute. I try my best to make this relationship work. That wasn't our first argument either. He starts them and blames me. Afterwards he gets upset and makes it seem like the whole thing was my fault. But maybe I'm trying to hard. Maybe I should end it. I don't know.
What do you guys think?

I would. I've been in a long distance relationship for almost a year now and my girlfriend doesn't always have time to talk; there are times when she goes like four or five days without talking to me but she always comes around and so we're still going strong. We've never had an argument before. But your boyfriend? What he's doing is messed up. Your boyfriend may be busy, and, honestly, we all are, but that gives him no right to pin his anger down on you like that. Don't worry, girl. There are tons of other fish in the sea who, instead of fighting WITH you, would rather fight FOR you! (:11|00|0
Thank you! This makes me feel a lot better. I hope you and your gf stay together for a long time. Thanks again!!!

This week, COPAA joined the Coalition for Health Funding, Committee for Education Funding, and the Campaign to Invest in America's Workforce in calling on Congress to increase the 302b allocation for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill. If appropriators can be persuaded, an increased 302b allocation would provide an overall funding increase in the Fiscal Year 2018 budget they use to mete out funds for the Labor/HHS/Education bill. Such agreement would then make more funds available for critical education/special education programs. The letter to Senate and House Appropriation Committees included signatures from over 800 organizations.

CHILDREN — Custody rights — Jurisdiction — Child born in United Kingdom to Moroccan parents — Child living in Morocco with mother after divorce and subject to order to reside there — Mother subsequently remarrying in the United Kingdom and bringing child from Morocco — Father unsuccessfully applying to Moroccan court for residential custody — Father six months later issuing proceedings in United Kingdom for child's return — Whether proceedings governed by international Convention — Whether criterion of urgency satisfied — Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children (1996) (Cm 7727), art 11
In re J (A Child) (Reunite International Child Abduction Centre and others intervening)
SC: Baroness Hale of Richmond DPSC, Lord Wilson, Lord Reed, Lord Hughes, Lord Toulson JJSC: 25 November 2015
The jurisdiction conferred by article 11 of the Convention on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children (1996) provided additional protection in cases of urgency and its exercise required a holistic approach; although not all child abduction cases were urgent, it was difficult to envisage a case where the court should not consider it to be so and go on to assess whether it was appropriate to exercise that jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court so held, when allowing the father's appeal from the Court of Appeal (Moore-Bick, Black and Gloster LJJ) [2015] 3 WLR 747; [2015] WLR(D) 201 on 1 April 2015 to allow the mother's appeal from Wood J [2014] EWHC 3588 (Fam) who, on 10 October 2014, on the father's application under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, had found that the mother's removal of the child, S, from Morocco to England had been wrongful and directed the child's return to Morocco, as the country of his habitual residence. The Court of Appeal had found that the English courts did not have jurisdiction under the 1996 Convention where the child was habitually resident in another state, since jurisdiction under article 11 only arose in cases of urgency and the present case could not be said to be urgent because the father had not made an immediate application to the Moroccan court for a return order.
BARONESS HALE OF RICHMOND DPSC, with whom the other members of the court agreed, said that the focus of the 1996 Convention was on the care and upbringing of the child, or the protection of his property. An order for return to the country of the child's habitual residence was "a measure of protection" for the purposes of the Convention and was provided for in article 7. Article 11 supplied an additional jurisdiction in the limited circumstances of cases of urgency. Unlike article 20 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003, article 11 was enforceable in other contracting states and an order could therefore have extra-territorial effect, although it would lapse once the authorities of the state of primary jurisdiction had taken the measures required by the situation. Thus decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union in relation to article 20 would provide limited assistance. Article 11 was not limited to cases of wrongful removal but could safeguard children who might be habitually present in one country but present in another in a whole host of different situations. It could prove helpful in securing a "soft landing" for children whose return to their home country was ordered. Article 11 required three things: a case of urgency, the presence of the child or his property, and that measures of protection were necessary. That demanded a holistic approach. Consistent with the overall protective purpose was that protective measures which the child needed should not be delayed while the jurisdiction of the country of habitual residence was invoked. But the article 11 jurisdiction should not be used to interfere in issues which were more properly dealt with in the home country: it was a secondary, not a primary jurisdiction. It was one thing to use article 11 to support the home country by facilitating a return there after a wrongful removal; it was quite another to set up article 11 in opposition to that of the home country; that was clearly not its purpose. Although an abduction case was not always one of urgency, it was difficult to envisage a case where the court should not consider it to be so and go on to consider whether it was appropriate to exercise the article 11 jurisdiction. Courts of the country where the child was were often better placed to make orders about the child's return. Those courts could take steps to locate the child and were likely to be better placed to discover the child's current circumstances. Those courts could exert coercive powers directly on the parent who was here and, if necessary, on the child. The machinery of going back to the home country to get orders and enforcing them in the presence country might be cumbersome and slow. The child's interests might be compromised if the country where the child was present could not take effective action in support of return. In the present case, the order made by the Court of Appeal would be set aside and the matter remitted to the High Court to a fresh decision based on a proper footing, namely whether the English court should exercise the jurisdiction conferred under article 11 and, if so, in what way.

The jury hearing the trial of a man charged with murdering a factory worker has been told to disregard the fact that he had injected the drug ice before the attack.
Gordon Reginald Cramp, 38, has pleaded not guilty to the stabbing death of Lance Hargreaves, 62, in the early hours of February 21 last year.
Mr Hargreaves' colleagues found his body surrounded by blood at Solveco, a waste management plant in St Marys, in Sydney's west, about 5.30am.
He had a 12-centimetre stab wound to the neck, which had severed his spinal cord.
Crown Prosecutor Maria Cinque told the NSW Supreme Court Mr Cramp had worked at Solveco until mid November 2012, when he was sacked for failing to show up for work.
In her opening address, Ms Cinque outlined Mr Cramp's alleged movements in the hours before the murder, saying that about 2am he and a friend injected methamphetamine, also known as "ice".
Justice Michael Adams told the jury of six men and six women "not to draw any conclusions about how ice may or may not have affected him".
Neither the prosecution nor the defence will call evidence about Mr Cramp's drug use.
Justice Adams also cautioned the jury against forming or holding an opinion about the character of people who use drugs, telling them it is "irrelevant".
"It is simply one of the surrounding circumstances," Justice Adams said.
The court heard Mr Cramp went to the Links Road facility multiple times during the night of February 20 and in the early hours of February 21.
He allegedly had a conversation with Mr Hargreaves, who was working the night shift, and told him, "You owe me big time".
Another colleague, who witnessed the encounter, said Mr Hargreaves didn't seem particularly worried about the comment.
"I couldn't understand him, he was raving on about something," Mr Hargreaves allegedly told the colleague.
Ms Cinque said Mr Cramp was later driven back to Solveco by his friend Seth Roberts.
Mr Roberts would give evidence that he heard a scuffle between Mr Cramp and Mr Hargreaves.
The jury heard Mr Roberts will say Mr Cramp returned to the car carrying a knife dripping in blood, however forensic experts were not able to find any of Mr Hargreaves' DNA in the car.
The court heard Mr Cramp will take the stand during the trial.

UVF boss breaks ceasefire with shoot order
Terror boss Davy 'Whitecap' Miller broke the UVF ceasefire last week when he ordered an alleged drug dealer to be shot.
The Sunday World understands the UVF's commander in Mount Vernon personally ordered a punishment shooting on a man in the north Belfast estate last Tuesday evening.
Reliable sources in the area claim the victim had a lucky escape after he was forced to the ground by two masked men, only for the gun to jam.
Miller has been creaming thousands of pounds from drug dealers in the estate in recent months. One man claimed the UVF boss demanded £10,000 from him in return for to be allowed to trade without sanction.
Last week's target was on his way through the estate when he was accosted by the two men.
Sources have told us he was forced to the ground and told he was to be shot in the legs.
The gun jammed twice before the punishment squad panicked and fled the scene.
The Sunday World understands the handgun used had been a re-activated gun, previously decommissioned.
"These guns are notoriously unreliable," said our source. "Nine times out of ten they jam, if they don't clear second time round you may forget it."
There has been little reaction to the shooting which constitutes a breach of the UVF ceasefire.
"The UVF are bringing guns on to the street, Is that not a breach of the ceasefire?"
Miller has come under increasing pressure in the recent weeks. Last month he was detained and questioned by the PSNI in relation to a punishment beating dished out to former UVF comrade Darren Moore.
One time jailbird Moore is believed to have made a statement to cops alleging Miller was involved in the attack which left him with two broken arms and legs.
This latest punishment attack comes as Miller and the UVF in Mount Vernon target drug dealers. Miller himself has developed a major cocaine habit and is regarded by many as being out of control.
His orders to shoot someone will be viewed with alarm by the UVF leadership and it's not the first time the terror group has used a previously decommissioned weapon.
In October 2000 UDA chief Tommy English was fatally shot at his home in Ballyfore Gardens, on the Ballyduff estate in Newtownabbey by a group of four men.
His three children were inside the house at the time of about 18.30 when the men entered through the back door as his wife, Doreen was preparing food for a Halloween party. She called out to her husband and attempted to close the door but they pushed past her, one of the men shouting "Get out of the f*****g way, Doreen".
The murder was carried out by the UVF at the height of the loyalist feud.
The Sunday World understands the murder weapon was a re-activated pistol, although one of the men was also armed with a shotgun – back up should the pistol fail.
A number of prominent loyalists were charged with the English murder, including one time Mount Vernon commander Mark Haddock. All walked free after the trial collapsed.
Miller, South East Antrim Brigadier Den Elliott and former lifer Billy McCartney from north Belfast were all scooped last month on the word of former pal Moore.
No was charged but the move caused anxiety in loyalist circles.
There has been growing speculation in recent months that former Mount Vernon goon Moore has agreed to become a supergrass, ready to give evidence against his terrorist comrades in return for a new identity and light sentence.
This latest development is being seen as the first step along that road.
Moore was furious at his treatment at the hands of the UVF two years ago. He had been lured to a meeting at the Monkstown club in Glengormley on the pretence of discussing allegations of drug dealing .
Once there he was dragged outside and hammered by five baseball bat wielding thugs. Battered and broken , he was dumped in the grounds of a primary school.
The loyalist heavy needed metal pins inserted into his arms and legs.
The punishment style attack wasn't sanctioned by the UVF leadership on the Shankill but despite pleas from Moore the organisation refused to move against their Mount Vernon team.
Miller is believed to have taken in after cops called at his Mount Vernon home.

Do I understand right that you want to write and sync the journal (the changelog LDIF) immediately but the partition only from time to time?

Crave Worthy: Neiman Marcus Albright Bathtub Set
I can't think of a more idyllic way to warm up this month than soaking in the Neiman Marcus Albright Bathtub Set ($6,489). Made of AcraStone, a chip- and wear-resistant material with a porcelain-like surface that is warm to the touch, it's a smart splurge if you're a life-long bath lover like me. Its Old World copper tub feet, faucet, and accessories have a classic appeal that will stay in style as long as its lifetime manufacturer's warranty. If that weren't enough to wash over you with heartache, it has a thermostatic valve, which maintains your desired water temperature to within 1°F, regardless of changes in the temperature or pressure of the water supply. Forget love, this is ever-lasting lust.

- Pre-script: I didn't come here for your sympathies, to be honest. I'm just telling whatever's inside my head.
Hello. If you don't yet know me, I'm RuckusQuantum, also known as Ruckus and Charles. I've been here in the site for more than two years now, and as some of the older users here might know, all those times I had gotten through a lot of ups and downs. My ups were when I managed to post a story that looked good to me - My downs were when that story got deleted (either by request or due to failure to mee the QS).
It was a roller coaster ride of rejoices and grievings, and let me tell you, it's nowhere close to fun (it's daunting). In fact, at some point, things here got so jumpy and trippy for me I almost gave up on this whole writing thing and actually tried to get creepypastas out of my life... But well, somehow, I managed to hang on a little bit longer than I first thought. Honestly, I absolutely have no idea to whom or which I should credit my two years of survival, either to my friends here or to my stubbornness and perseverance, but I guess that doesn't really matter... At least I'm here, right?
I came to this website hoping I could post my own stories and somehow get some recognition I really craved for. I was a writer, I knew it to myself, and I thought, "maybe I should take this talent somewhere else... somewhere other than pen and paper." I registered to the site, wrote my first story in an hour, posted it and - not to anyone's surprise - it got deleted in a moment's notice without warning at all (due to it not meeting the all-encompassing Quality Standards). I think it was ImGonnaBeThatGuy, CPW former admin, who did it, although I can't be bothered to check. But the point is, it devastated me. I can actually remember feeling like shit reading the automated message that said the story I wrote got banished from this site... Although unlike the rest, I mostly kept myself shut about it.
Instead, I strived to improve. I think I did... somehow.
Some time after a few more stories of mine got deleted, I eventually figured out how to do it right. Since then, I started posting creepypastas that actually remained in the site for some considerable time (months I think). I was satisfied with it and was very happy and contented of myself...
Until I read a message that told me that all my stories are subpar and barely got pass the Quality Standards. Of course, I got depressed... not to the point that I considered killing myself, but to the point that I almost thought about the thing the whole time. And it really made me sad and frustrated and angry of myself. I asked myself, "Am I really a good writer?" I began doubting myself and my abilities. People told me I wrote well, that I was that one student the school might not have for a long time, but I imagined: "what if they were just saying it to keep me from ruining myself? What if they did it out of mercy? Out of fear?"
Then out of pure dissatisfaction, I asked Underscorre to delete all those stories (I remade one of these later on) and post them instead on Pastebin. You can still find the links here. Note: Don't read them. Their utter garbage. But if you do want to head on, first of all, know that I wrote these stories long before I got a proper grasp at writing creepypastas. They are terrible, and I shall admit all its faults as a product of my ignorance...
So that happened. And I was so down I felt like I was kissing Earth's bedrock. So instead of writing, I focused on my other prominent talent and interest: graphic artistry.
For those who yet don't know, I was the one who designed the Wiki's wordmark (the graphic thing at the top left corner of the page). I made some other stuff like this before. For those who remember the blog I made about all the graphics I made for users, that is. As I'm currently having a hard time finding the link to the Creativity Spree blog, your help is greatly appreciated.
See my profile page. It's gone through a lot of changes. The current one, I spent an entire week trying to get all those things right. It was hard, but it certainly paid off...
I was having a good time being the site's graphic artist, and I considered abandoning writing altogether and instead focusing all my attention to this old-yet-untouched hobby and interest of mine...
And then the Reddit controversy happened, and it was the thing that really forced me back to writing. I talked about this with only three people (one of these three being the deceased Tio Rallyn, a.k.a. Tiololo - God bless his soul), so I won't be surprised if you guys haven't heard about it yet. But I guess it's about time I open myself to this.
The Reddit controversy began when I made a small, unassuming thread on the subreddit /r/AdobeIllustrator. In that thread I will be tentatively titling "Youngest Designer You Know", I asked some fellow Redditors who is the youngest artist/designer they've ever met. Kind of wanting to show off a bit, I said I was 14 (which I really am) and claimed I had already done a lot of stuff (I failed to specify what "stuff" that was, so it was wrong on my part). First comments, people asked me to post one of my work, ignoring the topic of the thread altogether. I did it with no reluctance at all; my work - a typographical poster about Las Vegas - was met with constructive criticism (not hurtful in the least, even pleasant) and some praised me for being so good at something adults can hardly do. Of course, I was satisfied and proud of myself. I spent a few years honing that skill, and I felt like all my efforts were paying off well...
Then things went horribly wrong when this guy I shall name "Jake" (that's an alias) commented that: I can't be called a graphic designer because I'm not doing it professionally. Graphic designers are those who have studied the principles of design and has known the craft for a very long time. I obviously haven't, because this work looks cheap and amateurish. My work was not even remotely good - to his eyes, it was dreadful. Garbage. You're not a graphic designer, and don't daydream about you being one in the future! With that kind of attitude, you can't possibly a good designer. Grow up and know your shit first.
I can't assure you that this is what Jake exactly wanted to tell me (I can barely remember, honestly; because I chose to erase it out of my memory), but it's somehow close to this... But that's not the first. Many more ridiculing comments came in like a train from London, calling me "arrogant" and "amateur" and "wannabe"... the list goes on and on and on.
I had never felt so helpless that time. I was so vulnerable and so open you could practically see my soul with your naked eyes and touch it with your bare hands.
When I realized I just angered many people and messed up my image, I profusely apologized to Jake and the other Redditors for bothering them. I even privately messaged one of them. It was all against my will, but I had a reputation to take care of (sooner or later, I figured out my reputation could no longer be salvaged - it was ruined). I told them this would not happen again. Then after much thinking and sorrying to myself, I shut down my original Reddit account and stayed out of it for a month to let everything cool down a bit (that's why my current Reddit username is "TheBigProblem", because I was afraid that if I keep using that account, someone might start harassing and insulting me when they find out who I was and what I did). So after that depressing ordeal, I decided to make a new Reddit account and unfollow /r/AdobeIllustrator. I separated myself from the art and design community entirely and instead went to literature and writing subreddits (like /r/Books and /r/WritingPrompts). That /r/AdobeIllustrator subreddit is better out of my life; it gives me memories I rather not recall.
So now, let's talk about writing. My writing.
I'm not really a good writer. In fact, I'm probably one of the many wannabe writers this wiki will ever have.
I had been writing stuff since I was like 12, mostly articles for our campus newspaper. It was fun and it helped me develop the creative side of my mind, and although it was mentally stressing and (at some point in time) physically taxing, I held on to it like my life relied on it. It was the first time I actually thought I was going to achieve something that me, my family, my friends and my teachers never thought I could; the feeling was nothing short of ecstatic. It was great hearing people call me a "blessed kid", a "writing prodigy", a "wordsmith" or a "future star"...
I began as a, you guessed it right, wannabe writer - bad grammar, bad sentence structure, poor word choices, you name it - but that didn't stop me from doing what I love. I joined contests and to my school and family's satisfaction, I won almost all of them... After several personal grammar improvement activities, I got a lot better, but still terrible compared to right now. (Truth be told, I actually learnt proper grammar from reading stories here in the Wiki, and I'm not ashamed of it, not at all!)
Short, 8-paragraph essays were all I wrote in my early years, but never did I know I'd soon get myself into all this creepypasta mess. Reading horror novels and watching horror movies never even crossed my mind, much more creating one.
Slenderman. That word sounds all too familiar, right? My creepypasta journey began when I stumbled upon a 9GAG post about the Slenderman. I was scrolling down the page, barely glancing at one post and another, when a dark, static-ridden image caught my eye. I stopped scrolling down the moment my vision focused on the image. At first, I couldn't see anything but trees and lit lampposts; it took me a minute or two to see the tall, thin and faceless figure that lingered hidden in that picture. Of course, I was creeped out - I glued my eyes on it, though, as it was a hidden gem or something... "I should find out what this thing is," I thought as I clicked the post and skimmed through the comments section.
It's the slenderman, you knobs!! One comment said. I Googled "slenderman" and found a vast amount of links to thousands of horror and entertainment websites that I could barely remember.
First link, creepypasta.com.
Second link, creepypasta.org.
And then the third link, creepypasta.wikia.com.
I clicked the third, and it brought me to this site... I guess you already know what happened next after that.
I want to talk about some of my old, deleted creepypastas.
The first one I wrote is titled "The Black Candles". The story's pretty old and cliché-ridden, and quite unfortunately, it's embedded inside mt head and I can't erase the marks it has made on my mind. Basically, the plot works out like this:
- Two girls have a sleepover.
- One of them sees a trail of black candles outside the house.
- The two stupid girls go outside and follow the candles.
- Then poof, they got killed by a mad witch that fed the corpse of the two girls to her animalistic children.
It was bad, you don't need to tell me. It's just like any other average creepypastas you might have read once or twice or thrice. Maybe that's the precisely the reason why it got deleted.
The next story I want to talk about is something titled "Scenarios". Nothing really flashy or unique, just an anthology of short creepypastas that discusses about the many ways the world can end. An alien invasion, a massive flood, a deadly nanotechnology that got out of control and many more, each insane and stupid in their own right. Each section even has their own pictures that depicted that certain doomsday scene, pictures stolen from Google, to be specific.
I think it was my first story that got to stay in the Wiki for a while.
Then there's this story about the world being conquered by crazed robots. I refuse to talk about it - it's so bad I'd rather blind my eyes than read that abomination again.
One thing that clung on me was a story about a disabled kid hearing his mother being choked in her room. I don't remember well, but I think the story's ending was open-ended, because either the mother hung herself or was asphyxiated by her husband. It's not so bad, really, but I deleted because... why not? I wanted to start all over again that time.
Maybe that's all I can share for now. You guys can conduct a Q&A session in the comments section if you want, but it's likely I won't respond to some comments. I'll try to answer your questions as honestly as I can.
I'll be sure to expand this blog later, but I think that'll be a while. I'm still trying to get my shit together, really.

Lisa and I were married when we were nineteen. We were madly in love at the time but by the time we were twenty-two the fire was almost out. We drifted apart and I began to enjoy my time with my male friends at the gym and at ball games.
About a year later, I came home from work early and found Lisa in bed with was up until that day my best friend, Todd. He had even been the best man at our wedding. There they were in our bed, fucking away. Needless to say he dressed and left quickly.
I called her every name in the book and told her to pack her things and get out. She did and ended up at Todd's house. I filed for divorce and being a gentleman all I asked for in the settlement was my truck, the 60' TV, and the house. No way was I going to let her live in the house we bought together. I let her have the furniture and everything else.
When the divorce was final, I rented furniture for the large two bedroom apartment I had found and had it delivered. I had sold the house and banked the proceeds and was comfortable. I made a nice salary as an account executive for a large advertising company in town.
A couple of my buds from the gym volunteered to help me move the TV and as we pulled up at the apartment, I saw a guy pull in driving a rental truck. It turned out that he was moving in also. His apartment was across the entrance from mine, out doors facing each other.
Once the TV was in and set up my buddys left and I was alone. Here I was, almost twenty-five years old and starting over with my life.
I decided to be neighborly and grabbed enough beers for my new neighbor and his helpers, placed them in a cooler with ice and went to introduce myself. Setting the cooler down, I met my new neighbor.
He was just coming out of his apartment and nodded at me and smiled.
'Hi. I'm Clint Carter,' I said as I extended my hand. Shaking it he said, 'Nice to meet you. I'm Buck Taylor.'
Motioning to the cooler I said, 'I thought you might like something to drink. Help yourself.'
'Hey, thanks,' he said. Opening the cooler he smiled and said 'Fuck man, perfect.' He yelled at his pals to come get a cold one. While we had a beer we talked and I said that I had just moved in the day before.
'I saw you bringing in the TV. Nice set,' he said.
'That was about all I got out of my divorce,' I said.
I noticed a strange look and a very slight smile at the mention of the divorce but didn't think much about it at the time.
We talked some more and I found out that he was twenty-six, single and worked for the state, but not in what capacity.
Our complex was long and narrow, kind of in a 'U' shape, with a drive down the center of it and our apartments at the very bottom of the 'U'. Ours was the only two story apartments in the complex and actually the only two apartments in our building. There was a large concrete porch area between our doors and we each had a large patio in back with only about a four foot hedge seperating them. Behind us and up each side of the complex was a large expanse of woods. Our apartments were very private and secluded. The way it was set up, I would be able to enjoy my morning coffee out on the patio in just my briefs or less if I so desired.
FI looked at Buck and said,'You're going to be tired when you get through. When you do why don't you shower and come over for dinner. I'll throw something on the grill. We can get to know each other since we are both 'newbies' here.'
'Clint, you don't have to do that. I'll just order pizza.'
'I want to. It will be nice to get to know someone else here since we're down here away from the rest of the crowd.'
'Okay, then. Let us get through and get these guys out of here and I'll be over.'
'I might be on the patio, so why don't you come around that way.'
'Will do. See you a little later.'
I went back inside and for some reason I kept thinking of Buck. He was about six-two, well built with muscular chest and arms. It was obvious that he worked out. he had light brown hair cut short and bright blue eyes and a neatly trimmed moustach. Thinking about him made me feel strange inside but I didn't know why. Surely, I wasn't getting turned on by him. I wasn't gay and had never had any thoughts about other men except at the gym when I'd steal a glance at another guys cock to see it his was bigger than mine. I had a nice fat eight inches but some of the guys at the gym made me look small.
I prepared two steaks to grill, and got two large potatoes ready to bake. A while later I walked back outside and Buck saw me and said, 'We should be through here in about thirty minutes. I'll shower and clean up and be over after that.'
'Sounds good,' I said.
I went back in, put the potatoes in to bake and went upstairs to shower and get ready. The living room, kitchen, dining area and a half bath were downstairs and the two bedrooms, each with private bath were upstairs. Since I did a lot of work from home, I planned on using the smaller bedroom as a home office.
I dressed in shorts and tee shirt and sandles. As i looked in the mirror, I noticed that the tee shirt was a little tight but having seen Buck, I wanted to show off my build also. It was my ego coming out.
I went back downstairs and out onto the patio and fired up the gas grille, letting it get good and hot. I sat the steaks on the patio table and had replenished the small cooler that I had used earlier with beer.
A short time later, Buck emerged onto his patio and walked around the hedge. I couldn't help but stare. He also had on shorts, although his were fairly tight and revealed a bulge down the right leg. My God, why was I noticing that? His tank top was skin tight revealing a muscular hairy chest and large pecs and six-pack abs. Damn, was he built. He made me look puney.
'Damn, steaks?' he asked as he walked up and saw the plate.
'Sure, why not?'
'I really appreciate this. I was going to order pizza and try to do some unpacking but fuck that. I'll start on it tomorrow.'
We sat and talked and said how much we liked the privacy that the location of the building gave us.
I laughed and said, 'Yea, I even thought that I could sit out here in my BVD's or less and enjoy my morning coffee. Then I realized how low that hedge is.'
'Hey, guy, if you feel like it do it. You just might see me out that same way. It won't bother me any. I grew up with three older brothers and after my dad ran out on us , my mom worked two jobs. The salary from the night job went into a college fund for us boys. She's come home between jobs, fix us a quick dinner and make sure homework was done then head out again.'
He grabbed a beer then continued. 'We had one bath room and at least one of us boys was running around naked at one time or another. Nudity has never bothered me. I stay that way at home most of the time. I'm pretty much a non-conformist so when I get home I shuck the clothes and just let it all hang out. It's a hell of a lot more comfortable after a day at work.'
'Well, I know I enjoy it after I shower and run around that way for a few minutes. I just might have to do it more often and see if I agree with you,' I said with a laugh.
'I'll bet you a six-pack you will.'
'It's a bet.' I said.
'If you don't mind me asking, what brought on the divorce?'
'Well, to start at the beginning, we married when we were nineteen and madly in love. After about four years it all seemed to die out. Sex was only about once a month if that often. Then one day I came home early and caught her fucking my best friend. He had been my best man at the wedding. I kicked her ass out and filed for divorce. I kept my truck, the TV and the house, but I didn't need that big monstrosity so I sold it and moved in here just yesterday. All the furniture is rental until I find exactly what I want.'
'She was fucking yur best friend?'
'Yep. I was even told after I caught them that they were fucking the night before we married.'
'Oh, shit!'
'Yep. Real nice, huh?'
'Enough of that,' he said and asked, 'What type work do you do?'
'I'm am account executive for an advertising agency. I do a lot of work from home, especially the work up for the presentations.'
I grilled the steaks and we ate and just visited. At about eight he said he was tired and needed to get to bed. They had started loading his belongings at six and he was beat. As he started to leave he thanked me for dinner and then to my surprise, he gave me a big hug, pressing his body into mine. An electrical shock seemed to go through me and I didn't know why.
I cleaned up the dishes and after watching TV for a while I headed up to bed. As I undressed I began thinking about what Buck had said about going nude. I figured it was just me at the apartment so why not. I slept nude that night and stayed that way the next day as I sat up my office. I had taked a few days off to get settled so the office wasn't expecting me. Buck was right, it was a great feeling of freedom to stay nude. That afternoon, i slipped on some shorts and went to the corner store and bought a six-pack.
After dinner, I went next door to pay off our bet but he wasn't home. I returned the beer to my fridge and decided to go for a walk around the complex. I stopped by the pool and checked it out for a while then headed back to my own abode. As I did, I ended up walking down Buck's side of the building and across the back. As I passed his patio, I saw that the light was on and the drapes open. I had a clear view of the interior. He was home, naked, and in his recliner watching a pron movie and stroking his hard cock. I began watching the movie with two men and a woman. She was sucking one guy while the other fucked her. She took the guys cock out of her mouth and gave it to the guy fucking her. I was hard and rubbing my own enlarged tool through my shorts as I watched. Buck began stroking faster and I couldn't help but watch as he shot one huge rope of cum after another out onto his hairy chest and stomach. I headed on over to my place thinking that it was nice to know that I wasn't the only man around that still jerked off when I needed to.
I went in and jerked mine off and after slipping on a pair of shorts i grabbed a beer and went out to the patio. As I sat drinking my beer I heard Buck walk out onto his patio talking on his phone.
Both patio lights were off, and when he got through, I said, 'Hey Buck, I have something for you.'
He was startled and walked over to the hedge and said, 'Hi Clint. You nearly scared the shit out of me.'
I stood up and said, 'I'll be right back.'
I went in and got the six-pack and came out and said,'I'm paying off that bet we made last night. Stayed nude all day and loved it.'
'I told you,' he said as he took the beer and walked over to put it on his patio table. That's when I saw he was still totally naked. Looking down at himself he said, 'I hope this doesn't offend you.'
'Nope, not at all. Now that I know you really do go that way, you'll probably find me out here like that.'
'Cool,' he said with a grin. 'Say, are you going to be home tomorrow?'
'Yea, why?'
'a buddy of mine wants the boxes I emptied and if I give you the extra key, could you let him in to get them?'
'Sure, no problem,' I answered.
He went in and got the key and returned to the patio. 'Let me find out what time he can come over.'
He dialed a number and after a minute or so he told me that his friend would be over about noon. I said that I'd be glad to help out.
We each headed inside and went our seperate ways, but the vision of his naked body and large cock stayed in my mind and my own cock began to rise again. I couldn't understand why my body was reacting like it was.
The next day, I dressed just long enough to let his friend in to get the boxes before stripping back down. That afternoon I was sitting on the patio nude enjoying the afternoon sun when I heard Buck's patio door open. He stepped out, beer in hand and looked my way.
'Hi, neighbor. I see you're a man of his word and shucked the clothes.'
'Yep,' I replied.
He walked over to the hedge and looked down at me and said, 'Man, you've got a fucking nice build on you.'
'Thanks, but it's not as defined as yours. I saw your tattoo and meant to ask, how long were you in the marines?'
'Just long enough to fulfill my obligation, then I got out.'
'Can't say as I blame you,' I said as I stood and walked over to the hedge.
He smiled and said, 'Look, if we're going to be neighbors and visit each other we need to remove a bush or two to give us access to each others patio.' He reached over to a corner and grabbed a shovel and went to work. soon the first two shrubs closest to the building were out of the ground. he took them and threw them out into the woods behind us.
'There, that's better,' he said. 'How about joining me for dinner tonight?'
'Sure, what time?'
'How about in an hour?'
'Fine,' I replied.
'And come just as you are. I'll be just like I am now.'
I smiled and said I'd see him later. I went inside and couldn't believe that I was about to have dinner totally naked with another naked man. What had the divorce done to me?
An hour later I walked through our new opening totally naked and into Buck's open patio door. He saw mw and smiled and again gave me a big bear hug. We ate dinner after a few beers and then had a few more, much more than my usual.
I was beginning to feel light headed and out of myself as we sat on the sofa together. I noticed that he wuld move closer every time he got up and sat back down. Soon he was only inches away from me. turning toward me he brought his right leg up and put his knee against mine while at the same time laying his right hand on my left thigh saying, 'Clint, it's so good to have you for a neighbor where I can be myself. Everywhere else I've lived I've had to keep all the curtains closed so as not to offend the neighbors, but I don't have to do that with you.'
As he said all this he slowly rubbed his hand up and down my thigh and my cock began to stiffen. Another persons touch felt good, even if it was another man's. I glanced over and his cock was about half hard as mind continued to stiffen.
FHe noticed it and slowly reached over and grasped it. when he did, I gasped.
'Looks like he needs some attention,' he said, as he began stroking it slowly.
'Buck that feels so fucking good but hey man, I've never done anything like this before.'
'You don't have to do anything. Just sit there and relax and let me do my thing.'
With that, he leaned over and began kissing my neck and ear, then my cheek, then gently on my lips all the while stroking my now hard cock. Again his lips touched mine and i felt his tongue running across my lips trying to part them. I relenten and parted my lips and his tongue entered my mouth and found mine. He was so gentle I couldn't resist and I began to eagerly kiss him back, our tongues exploring each other's mouth.
He then moved down to my nipples and I had never felt that electrical shock before. I loved it and moaned softly in pleasure. He began running his tongue lower until he reached my navel, then lower until I could feel his hot breath in my pubic hair.
Easing himself off the sofa, he got between my legs and began running his tongue along the inside of my thighs. I gasped again as he licked and sucked my nut sack into his mouth. My head was spinning as he began licking up the shaft of my cock. he reached the tip and licked off the precum that was flowing freely from the slit. As his mouth covered my cock head and eased down to the base i let out a soft yell raising my hips toward him. he took it all and held it for a second before beginning to move back and forth up and down it. I began fucking his face for all it was worth. Before long I felt my cock harden and felt my nuts draw up. I knew I couldn't hold out much longer. Then it happened. My cock exploded sending huge spurts of cum into Buck's mouth and down his throat. He eagerly accepted and swallowed the entire load.
When he had taken every drop he again kissed me and I tasted my own cum in his mouth, a salty bitter sweet taste that I liked. As he sat up next to me we kissed again as I reached down and began stroking his cock. It didn't take long until hi was exploding, sending a huge load of cum all over both of us.
We broke the kiss and he said, 'We're both a mess.'
'Who cares,' I replied, 'That was the best sex I've had in years, and it's hard to believe it was from a man.'
'It's here whenever you want it. You can fuck my mouth or my ass anytime you want to.'
I looked at him and said, 'Watch what you say. I'll be back for more and you may regret it.'

Frequently Asked QuestionsIs it okay to take Curamin Extra-Strength and Curamin at the same time?
You can take both of them at the same time, but you may want to start with Curamin Extra-Strength for initial intensive benefits, and then use Curamin as a daily maintenance supplement.What is the difference between Curamin Extra-Strength and original Curamin?
Curamin Extra Strength simply provides a higher level of ingredients in a different ratio and a more convenient dosage form. Just one or two tablets per day of Curamin Extra Strength may be enough to provide the benefits people desire.Does Nattokinase contain Vitamin K?
No. Nattokinase is an isolated and purified enzyme extract from natto (a fermented soybean food), which does not contain vitamin K.Is there a difference between Curamin Extra Strength and curcumin?
Yes. Curcumin is the beneficial compound found in the turmeric plant. Curamin Extra Strength is the name of the product which contains highly absorbable curcumin along with boswellia, DLPA and nattokinase.Is there a difference between turmeric and curcumin?
Yes. Turmeric is the plant that provides curcumin. Typically, turmeric contains about 2-5% curcumin, so taking an unstandardized, powdered turmeric product means that very large amounts would be required to get a beneficial amount of curcumin. Additionally, curcumin is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. While turmeric is excellent when used as a spice, a high absorption curcumin extract, such as the clinically studied curcumin used in Curamin Extra Strength, is a better choice for health benefits.Why would you put silica in this wonderful product?
Silica is just there to make sure that the premium ingredients in Curamin Extra Strength are properly mixed and measured so that every tablet guarantees the same effective, beneficial components. Many botanical ingredients are, by their nature, "sticky" and can tend to clump if they are not mixed with a minute amount of inert, harmless material.

Aggregate planning is a mid-range planning process where companies develop strategies for the next few months, typically ending in 12 to 18 months. Certain industries use aggregate planning more than others do, such as manufacturing, production and construction. These industries rely on these plans to allocate resources among several different jobs or projects. Human resources is responsible for supplying one of three major economic resources: labor. Aggregate planning offers distinct strengths and weaknesses for companies in the business environment.
Limit Expenses
For most companies, payroll is their largest business expense. Aggregate planning helps companies plan the specific number of employees for each project and the wage for each individual or group of employees. Companies often use a mix of skilled and unskilled labor. Using skilled labor—which is typically more expensive—to complete basic tasks can increase operating costs and create ineffective operations. Aggregate planning seeks to avoid this through adequately determining the needs for labor.
Accomplish Goals
Aggregate planning helps companies set well-defined goals and objectives for completing projects. Business owners and managers can also break down large business projects into a smaller set of tasks. Each task follows a sequential completion process that works to advance the company's overall mission. The human resource department may use temporary labor to accomplish short-term goals to avoid hiring long-term employees who will remain with the company after accomplishing goals.
The constant use of aggregate planning in business can lead to high employee turnover, whether using temporary labor or laying off workers after project completion. Not only does this create more paperwork for the human resource department, but it can also lower employee morale. Employees are typically uncomfortable when working in an organization that has a high employee turnover. Individuals may think they are next in line for dismissal, shifting their focus from productivity to finding ways to keep their jobs.
Short-term aggregate planning can create some level of inflexibility in a company's operations. Human resources may be unable to adequately staff the company, if it does not meet the requirements for accomplishing goals. Changes in the business environment or economic market can also affect the company's aggregate planning process. A sudden loss of business credit or tight monetary and fiscal policies can make it difficult for the human resource department to respond to these changes.

Whether you're new to exercise, or simply returning to it after a two-week, two-month or two-year hiatus, it's important to pace yourself and be realistic in your expectations of what your body is capable of.
All too frequently, I see new (and returning to the flock) exercisers start out with a bang, only to lose their momentum after a few short weeks. In their enthusiasm (and sometimes desperation) to shed weight, gain strength and get healthy they run too far, lift too heavy, workout too frequently and attempt exercises far too challenging for their current fitness level. Unable to maintain their new routine, due to time constraints or injury, they decide that alas, this isn't the year they'll get in shape and stop exercising all together.
When I start training a new or returning client, I give them a program that I know they'll feel successful doing. Something that will challenge them, but not too much. For example;
I also give them the following advice;
- Go slow. Less is more. Start with 15-20 minutes, 3 times a week. Leave your body wanting more. Not being able to comfortably sit on the toilet for a week is not the sign of a good workout.
- Warm up before you workout. Light calisthenics, stair climbing and walking will all warm up your muscles, lubricate your joints and gradually elevate your heart rate. Warm ups are great for injury prevention and will make the remainder of your workout more enjoyable.
- When weight training, start with body weight, full range of motion exercises. Pay attention to form. Don't sacrifice good body mechanics for the sake of a few more reps or a slightly increased load. Progress comes with time.
- Limit the number of exercises you perform. Having to learn more than 5 or 6 new exercises at a time is a recipe for disaster. Instead, focus on getting really good at a few. You'll be doing longer, more complicated programs before you know it.
- Stretch after every workout. Slowly, lengthen each of the major muscles you worked. Hold stretches for 15-30 seconds each. Don't bounce; ballistic stretching often leads to injury. Stretching helps to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Most gym-goers don't stretch nearly enough (guilty as charged…).
And finally,
- Congratulate yourself for starting and sticking with your fitness goals. Before long exercising will be a much anticipated part of your day! Really!
When you first started, how many days did you exercise each week?
After a break, how many workouts does it take to get back into a groove with exercise?

The High-Power Trunk concept enables maximum cable distance and device count per segment while at the same time offering intrinsically safe instrument connections according to FISCO or Entity. It decisively reduces effort for validation of intrinsic safety. The FieldConnex® FieldBarrier was the first fieldbus coupler with galvanic isolation between the intrinsically safe outputs and the trunk.
The main line or home-run cable (trunk) provides ample power to the segment. Each output of the FieldBarrier limits the energy (intrinsically safe) and is designed to power one field instrument. The instrument can be installed in Zone 0/Div. 1. The FieldBarrier itself is typically installed in Zone 1/Div. 2.
This combination of ignition protection methods enables maximum design freedom for the fieldbus infrastructure: long cable runs and high device counts are possible at the same time. This comes with maximum safety, as hot work is permitted at the device level. See the download link at the end of the page.
The FieldBarrier with 8, 10, or 12 outputs offers several diagnostics and protection functions. It protects fieldbus operations in multiple ways and reduces risks to a minimum.
Protection of fieldbus communication from:
The FieldBarrier:
Advanced physical layer diagnostics at each spur provide optimum monitoring of fieldbus communication. A change in the installation is easily detected, e.g., through a change in noise. Installation teams can fix the issue before availability is at risk.
The FieldBarrier transmits status via LEDs at the FieldBarrier locally or via the Advanced Diagnostic Module in the control room. This enables proactive plant upkeep.
Another highlight is the compact design: All cables connect directly at the FieldBarrier, resulting in the lowest number of Ex e connections. This means less maintenance and reduced cost with more availability.
The many attributes of the FieldBarrier serve only one objective: Reaching 100% availability. The technical white papers written by Pepperl+Fuchs' experts provide the technical background and sample case studies on cost savings.
Installed, checked, plug and play – Our pre-engineered solutions for FieldConnex® offer installation convenience as they are already integrated in the junction box. Complete fieldbus junction boxes are delivered ready for connection. They are easy to handle and include certification as complete unit: A single certificate for ignition protection is provided for the box including all components.
Materials are selectable to fit the application: Stainless steel, fiberglass reinforced polyester and aluminum. Equipment and accessories are pre-installed and tailored to fit any need.
