In today's post we address the importance of great friends in helping you cope with depression at university…
I cannot express how important great friends are during this time. If there's any experience in life that shows you who your friends are, its this. Friends will naturally play different roles during this time, your self-absorbed friends who were always about 'me, me, me' will prove useless as they probably can't even take one moment to look past their silly uni-boy drama to be of any reasonable help to you, my advice? Distance yourself from anyone who is of no help and grow closer to the ones who care. (The key to avoid isolation is to replace with people or things, even if its someone who you constantly talk to over the phone, or someone who doesn't even go to your university, sometimes people online can help..just be safe and discerning of who it is you're letting into your life). In my experience, my depression was the time I dropped some "friends", distanced myself from a few, gained new friends and grew even closer to some of my long term friends.
DG. touches on how she similarly had to let certain friends go:
Leave toxic friendships groups at university its not worth the stress. I did so and although I didn't handle it as well as I could have because I'm human and rightfully pissed, it was the best decision I made. You will make new friends, join societies and reach out to more people.
Active friends are important and by active I mean people who will let you sleep over so they can wake you up for your lecture and ensure you get ready, friends who don't make you feel like a burden no matter how hard helping someone else may be. Friends who will make sure you're eating and if they don't see you for more than a day are buzzing down your line or knocking on your front door to ensure that you're okay.
You need the type of friends who will drag you out of bed or offer to help you to clean your house. Here's a few accounts of how those type of friends helped a few people to cope with their depression at university:
And two others…
I made my family and friends aware that I was down, I didn't go into detail with every single one of them but this ensured that people were always rallying round me – DG
D says, Do not be afraid to speak out and tell people how you are feeling. (People you can trust or health professionals) Don't let people Shame you for how you're feeling or dismiss your feelings. -D
There will also be those friends who do not know (of no fault of their own) but are great friends to you because that's just who they are will undoubtedly be of great help to you during this time. I have a couple friends that didn't have a clue about what I was going through but they never failed to provide a form of escape for me, people who cooked for me, made me laugh, helped me with my work when I felt overwhelmed, prayed for me, encouraged me and regularly checked if I was okay, even if I did lie. Sometimes you don't tell people how you feel not because they're bad friends and not because they make you feel uncomfortable but because you're just a bit awkward for no reason, you feel as though there's nothing they can do about your problems or you can't be bothered to add another person to the "people who know list" or you just don't want to panic more people than you have to. Those friends who are friends to you even when they are not aware of the extent of your problems should be treasured.
Active friends are helpful, but as life will have it, sometimes your reliable and trusted friends and family are not around you 24/7. So it may be time to utilise your phone and ensure that you're talking to people whenever you can, be it discussing your issues or escaping from them. I had a few friends that didn't go to my university that I regularly talked to who helped me so much. It was actually one of these friends who advised me to come home during my final semester and commute to sit my exams, that advice saved my life. A balance of both kinds of friendship is important because it ensures progress is being made, that you're not just talking about your feelings and sleeping your days away. I had friends who constantly ensured that I was okay, whether or not I had eaten, made me laugh and smile and talked through my emotions, helping me make sense of my feelings, separating the rational thoughts from the irrational thoughts which gradually stopped me from always letting my thoughts get to me. Some even came up to visit me, or met up with me when I was back in London.
DG. talks about how family and friends visiting, helped her cope at university:
Having family and friends come to my city, spend quality time and exploring it with me made me not resent my surroundings at times.
L. also talks about her experience and how her best friend helped her:
My best friend. The first person I opened up to. He helped me so much. Just having that one person to listen and be there for you is incredible. He told me to clear my mind and try do different things and spend more time with the family. So I did. For two days I was feeling "okay". A bit better than usual.
Whilst we speak on relationships with people. It is also important to ensure you be extra cautious when it comes to romantic relationships, so when entering a relationship when depressed…this is not to say don't but entering a toxic relationship or situation can definitely worsen your depression. DG offers up some advice based on her experience…"Be weary of getting into a relationship and allowing your partner to become a saviour figure because whilst it is useful and it might help. Them leaving throws you into a deeper depression, as your anchor has left." L talks on her ex-partners response to her depression, "Although my ex never asked why, I opened up to him eventually. And to be honest, I was disgusted with his response. It wasn't a response you'll expect from someone you called your boyfriend. So eventually, we broke up." Applying similar logic, it is extremely important to be careful who you live with when you're in a bad space, if you can avoid making the wrong decision, do so. DG says "Be careful who you live with and your housing situation (ensuite etc) it may or may not add to your depression depending on the choice you make."
As well as friends, family is also important, thinking about how much your family may care about you may help you choose to get better, here is L's experience:
I was always in the dark. Want to know the worst part? No one knew. And it could have been hard for people to know. I'm known for being this "wild, bubbly and funny girl". But that was just a "mask". Because in reality, I was the saddest person on earth. I deleted my most used social media apps (Twitter and Snapchat) to avoid people. Only 1 friend and 2 close family friends asked me if I was okay. But like always, I said "I'm cool, I'm just trying to focus on university". That lie always worked. On top of that, my housemate, who was and still is my only very good friend at university, was fed up of my attitude. I could see it. He wondered why one moment I'm in a good mood and another moment I'm this "sad/angry black women". But I still never opened up to him. Even now, he still doesn't know that every time I closed my room door I was crying, depressed and angry with who I was. I just had no self-love. And it then became worse: I started becoming suicidal. I can't even say "starting" actually, because in my early teens, I did want to hang myself. I just never had the courage. But this time it was different.
I wanted to find the most peaceful way to end my life. I was thinking about overdosing on sleeping pills at first but the more I thought about it, the more dangerous it became. To a point where I imagined taking a knife and just stabbing myself. But one of the reasons why I never did it it's because of my family. I'm someone who always think of others first. So I asked myself, if I do this, how would my mum survive? Her first ever daughter. My little brother growing up and not knowing who I was (he's just 1-year old). My (step [really hate saying step]) father who took me as his own daughter since he met my mother. My sister who looks up to me and continuously says that she wants to be like me when she grows up. Those are the people that stopped me from getting that knife through my body.
So here you see the various ways in which great friends can help you cope with depression at university, in the next post we talk about how to make a decision on whether to stay or leave university…

Mitt Romney absolutely buried Barack Obama on Wednesday night in the first of their three presidential debates. Taking a page right out of the Democrats own handbook, Romney leveled Obama with his own rhetoric. At times Romney sounded like an extreme left wing liberal candidate when it came to spending tax-payer money, but it worked.
Education, yes, Romney said, we are going to spend money on more teachers and more education programs. Defense, yes, we will spend two trillion more on making our military stronger. Health care, yes, we will make sure that the elderly of this country get the best care possible and the rest will get government vouchers. Even Social Security will be left alone under a Romney presidency.
Some are saying that Mitt Romney was a moderate all along and tonight he went so far left, Jimmy Carter was probably standing and applauding. But while Mitt Romney was telling us everything we wanted to hear, the president looked like he'd rather be somewhere else. Obama never seemed to challenge the GOP candidate on the issues and had his head down most of the night, never looking the new liberal Romney in the eye.
Romney also had the best one liners of the night and history has shown and Ronald Reagan proved, a good one liner can carry a candidate straight to the Oval Office. "If the tax plan he described were a tax plan I was asked to support, I'd say, 'Absolutely not,'" Romney said. "I'm not asking for a $5 trillion tax cut. What I've said is I won't put in place a tax cut that adds to the deficit. … I've got five boys. I'm used to people saying something that's not always true, but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it."
The only program that Romney did say he would cut is PBS and had a great one liner for that referencing "Big Bird."
Obama spent most of the night stuttering and stammering through his answers, while Romney would counter with slick, well rehearsed lines that made Obama's professorial uncharismatic logic look tired and boring.
Obama tried to counter with saying that Romney's combination of tax cuts and increased spending just doesn't add up, saying "Now … he is saying that his big bold idea is 'never mind.' The fact is, if you are lowering the rates the way you describe, governor, it is not possible to come up with enough deductions or loopholes," Obama said. "It is math. It is arithmetic."
But with a candidate as polished as Romney, who needs math? If Mitt Romney can follow through with all of the promises he made tonight, he will make a successful president. If not, he's just another big-talking candidate.

Life in the frozen tundra of Maine with a hot husband, an emptying nest, and plenty of snow. OH God, the snow.
02 July 2007
Her photos never cease to amaze me. I find myself Ooo-ing and Ahh-ing outloud, here, all alone, in front of my computer. Her blog causes me to appreciate the beauty of Maine all the more.
Today I was inspired to wander the woods behind our home, and I came upon what I THINK are Asiatic Lilies. (If not, and any of you know better, please set me straight!) I might be able to spot beauty, but I don't always know the correct name for it.
Either way, they are pretty...
Not only that, I have no idea how they got there. The area used to be covered with dead leaves and logs, and when we cleaned it all out, this is what popped up.
Who knew? :)

being a 20 yr certified nuseryman and the president of Wiscasset Botanical, I would be embarassed not to know these are Platycodon or Balloon flower to you and me. not even close to Asiatic lilly. Sorry...teehee.yup i'm a plant snob.

Thank you, Chris!
A friend told me they are Asiatics, but I looked it up on the internet, and I couldn't see the resemblance. Yet this friend usually knows her stuff. Ah, well.
Anyway, thanks for setting me straight. Next time I'll ask YOU to identify any flowers I'm unsure about. :)

I have these perennials growing in my garden - a larger clump every year! I thought they were called "canterbury bells" - but it seems Chris probably knows better than I the proper name!
Be sure to pinch off the flowers as they fade, and new ones will develop. Otherwise, the new buds just wither without blooming... enjoy!

campanula persicafolia, peachleafed bellflower
- Thursday, July 12, 2007
Sorry, should be persicifolia, also called peach-bells. They grow in the woods at Holbrook Island Sanctuary near an old cellar-hole.

- Hello to you all,
First I want to thank Chris Wimbrow and some other people who acted
on my behalf when I was mistakingly denied membership of this group.
I received a nice email from the group owner and I truly understand
the problems and confusion spammers can create amongst group owners
and moderators, but all's well that ends well. Since I am a pure
solo-gamer, I'm happy to be amongst you and thanks to the wonder of
the internet, solo-gamers are no longer "lone warriors".
I'm an old hand and have been wargaming since the early 70's,
pioneering the hobby in Belgium, but was out of it for about 10 years
(concentrating on my other hobby of collecting military oldtimer
vehicles). I now run a victoriana solo campaign in a continent
called "Afriboria", in honour of Toy Bath's "Hyborian Campaign". All
this (and more) you can find on my site THE UNIVERSAL GENERAL" at
Although a solo gamer, I did recently join the local wargames club
Tin Soldiers of Antwerp (Belgium), a truly great lot with an own
private clubhouse, meeting every Fridaynight. They had problems with
the upkeep of their website, so I agreed to do it for them. You can
visit TSA at http://www.tsoa.be/ and see how we wargame in Belgium.
I'm looking forward to the list and sometimes taking part in the
- Hyborian Campaign That brings back great memories. I use to read about it in the Military Modeling magazine and it was the big spark to get me running campaigns at my local club back then.

I was born in Austin, Texas right in the middle of the twentieth century. Not much happened until I was 25 and George Lucas gave me a job designing spaceships. Well, that's not entirely true. My bicycle got stolen when I was ten. It was an old second-hand three speed bike that my father picked up at a garage sale for a few bucks. Why would someone steal something so worthless to anyone but me? I'm still hoping to find the thief.
Go on Google Earth and look at the house you grew up in. If you're over forty, you'll barely recognize it. In my case, everything looked smaller than I'd remembered it, and all my best trees were gone, replaced by native plantings that didn't need much water. I had a giant eucalyptus tree in the backyard of my house on Naples Street that I hung a hammock in, fifty feet off the ground. I'd sleep up there on windy nights. That was the other great thing about growing up in the fifties and sixties. Parents didn't worry about us. You're all sick of hearing this, I'm sure, but in the summer we left the house in the morning and showed up at dinnertime. Blah blah blah. But we all survived childhood and our parents were happy and oblivious. How terrifying to be an eight year old today.
It's an interesting perspective to see something like the original Star Wars trilogy from the inside. You don't really get a sense of how the world sees it. Only recently, through the fullness of time have I been able to see the experience in retrospect and understand my own involvement. I can honestly say, thank the universe I didn't know what I was doing. With any kind of creative endeavor that requires you to make a thousand decisions an hour based on your evolving sense of aesthetics you can never know exactly what you're going to do next. Seeing the future and holding it in a death grip is a recipe for mediocrity.
When someone asks me about my "vision" on a film I'm directing, I look at them with what I hope is a slightly confused expression and say, "I don't have a vision. What are you talking about? What do you mean, vision?" It's especially fun when it's a producer asking the question. They get nervous. Of course it's a good idea to have in your mind the version of the film you'd most want to see. But everything that happens, the most minute and trivial occurrence will change the dynamic of the image and sound you're trying to capture. Don't fight it. You'll lose.
I like machines that function well and are pleasing to look at. When I was 15 the Porsche 904 came out. I had a model slot car of it. In my opinion it's the most beautiful car Porsche ever made, but they only made a hundred and sixteen of them. They had to make at least a hundred so they could race them as a production car. Brand new they sold for $7,500. That's seventy-five hundred dollars. Now, less than sixty years later a restored one can go for $1,200,000. When I was eighteen I saw one in a crummy used car lot in Los Angeles. The guy wanted $12,000 for it. I went home and tried to sound adult and authoritative when I told my dad what a wonderful investment it would be. He laughed in my face as I expected him to. Life is about being in the right place at the right time and having the right amount of money in your pocket. But then again with enough money the time and place will come to you.
I admire people who have the courage to say, "I don't know."
What happened to all the really great surplus stores?

dbx DriveRack VENU360 + RTA-M
Speaker Management Processor with Analyzing Microphone
Product Description for the dbx DriveRack VENU360 + RTA-M
Package Includes :
1 x dbx DriveRack VENU360
1 x dbx RTA-M
dbx DriveRack VENU360
The dbx DriveRack VENU360 loudspeaker management system provides all the processing and flexibility you need between your mixer and amplifiers to optimize and protect your loudspeakers. With the latest advancements in dbx's proprietary AutoEQ and AFS algorithms, additional input channels, ethernet control via an Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows device, and updated wizards, the DriveRack VENU360 continues the DriveRack legacy of great-sounding, powerful, and affordable loudspeaker management processors, for a whole new generation.
New, improved AutoEQ algorithm ensures an extremely accurate, fast, and non-intrusive automatic EQ experience. With an RTA Mic "listening" to your room, the DriveRack VENU360 AutoEQ algorithm sets speaker levels and room EQ automatically in a matter of seconds using sine sweeps. This means room adjusents can now be made very quickly, without subjecting the audience to annoying, lengthy broadcasts of pink noise.
The AutoEQ is located in the output processing stage, which means independent sections of a system can be equalized automatically. This allows AutoEQ to be used on the FOH system as well as the stage monitors, zones and tower delays.
Ehanced AFS Feedback Elimination
Enhanced AFS algorithm for faster, more precise feedback elimination, without adversely affecting your system's tone. Nothing turns audiences away like annoying and potentially painful audio feedback. Fortunately, dbx engineers have revisited their already-stellar Advanced Feedback Suppression algorithm and made it work even better. The DriveRack VENU360 listens for and anticipates feedback and automatically removes it before it even has a chance, while never altering your sound.
Updated Wizard Setup Functions
Updated Wizards make initial set up easy, while ensuring speaker tunings and other settings are up-to-date. Wizard functions in the DriveRack VENU360 guide you through easy, step-by-step processes to help you get the most from your loudspeaker system. The Wizards help you configure routing, level balancing, AutoEQ, Advanced Feedback Suppression, and provide access to updated speaker tunings – available for most major speaker brands. The addition of a Monitor Wizard makes it easy to configure and optimize stage monitors.
Mobile Control
Connect to the DriveRack VENU360 through your local network with your Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows device to customize the sound of your loudspeaker system so it sounds and performs optimally. The app lets you directly manipulate the Compressor, Graphic EQ, Parametric EQ, Crossover settings, Speaker profiles, and more with its attractive, easy-to-use graphical user interface.
dbx RTA-M
The optional RTA-M real time audio analyzing mic is the perfect accessory tool for the DriveRack PA, DriveRack PA+ and 260. Used in conjunction with the System Setup Wizard and Auto EQ Wizard the RTA-M is ideal for optimizing the sound quality of even the most difficult of acoustic environments.
The RTA-M is an omni-directional, flat frequency measurement microphone specially designed for the Driverack series to pick up all frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz ,ensuring accurate "pinking"/real-time analysis of your audio. It runs on phantom power (supplied by the Driverack units) and comes with a clip and case.

Everything - the website didn't do it justice.
The hotel position is very good. All was ok: clean rooom, free Internet, breakfast.
Quiet street but still close to the city - about a 10 minute walk. No iron in the room.
A nice change from many of the big, impersonal hotels in Frankfurt. No iron in the room.
It is close to Berger St and relatively convenient to other tourist attractions and shopping. The room had a comfortable bed and decent bathroom. The staff was friendly. The breakfast buffet was very average but it was 8 euros, which felt like a good buy. There were a lot of outlets/plugs in the room, which was good for charging electronics. The towels were a little dirty, the room is very compact - there was a small walkway around the bed and that was it - and the pillows left my neck sore.
it´s location near the city center and underground stations is great. front desk staff is very rude and non-co-operative. I paid all my dues through net in advance, even then she ( front desk person) harassed me a lot during checkout.

Claire is 15 months old today! Translation for those who don't have kids, that's 1 year and 3 months old (hey, at least I didn't say she was 65.5 weeks old!) Isn't she the cutest? Ok, I'm probably biased, but I actually think she's probably the cutest. Ever.
Little recap on her progress of living and growing. She is finally walking, well actually she is now running. She's pretending she can't talk, absolutely adoring every thing in her closet and working the camera. I mean she is a real little princess if there ever was one. She doesn't get this from me, I'm blaming her aunties for this one.
Take this video for instance
And this
"Shoot. They're on to me now…I better play up the baby babble."
And at Halloween posing in her strawberry costume
"Girls. C'mon you're getting in the way of my photo shoot."
She has an obsession with purses and shopping (even if it's in her own living room)
Here she is just being her cute self.
And now you all agree. She is the cutest. Ever.

Sample Career Objectives Essay - 437 Words
The necessity to write about career objectives usually comes when students deal with college essays. Basically, the admission committee wants to know about your career objectives to make sure you apply to the right program.
So, if you have no doubts about your career choice, you need to write an excellent career objectives essay and prove that. Are you stuck with this task? Then let us help you and talk about several important aspects of career objectives essays.
Get the gist of career objectives essays
Some students do not really get the main purpose of writing a career objectives essay. If you are going to explain who you want to be, you do not get it as well.
Actually, writing a career objectives essay is not about telling in what particular field you want to be involved. You have to talk about specific goals and plans of yours as to the future career. Thus, writing something like "I want to be a top manager" will not work.
Essential points to include into career objectives essays
So, after you figure out the main purpose of writing your career objectives essay, check essential points to be covered.
Point 1. Describe specific goals.
We have already mentioned that generalities like "I want to be a top manager" will not make your career objectives essay effective. Show your ability to set goals, your strong intentions to work for a certain company, your awareness of possible responsibilities, etc.
Point 2. Tell about short and long term goals.
In a few words, your career goals essay has to show that you have two plans: one that you will implement in 3-5 years, the second one that will be implemented in about 10 years.
Point 3. Why this program X.
A good career objectives essay should clearly explain how the program you are applying to will help to achieve your goals.
Good luck!

Here is a brief plan for preparing your career objectives essay.
Describe the chosen career in a few words
You do not have to give too many details in this part of the career objective essay. Provide general information about the chosen career. Try to focus on its main peculiarities and features that distinguish it from other fields of occupation.

Answer these questions in your career objectives essay.
Talking about your specific objectives

Donald Glover/Childish Gambino has recently turned into a bit of a hero of mine. I first saw him a few years ago in a Youtube sketch group called Derrick Comedy. I saw him repeatedly scream the words 'what the fuck Belanie?'
I knew then that he had some skills.
Since then he's written for 30 Rock, starred in Community, performed stand up, and is becoming a pretty successful rap-man.
Check out the video 3005.
But the thing that really made me take notice is what he's doing on the side. To coincide with his most recent album, he published an accompaniment multimedia screenplay.
It's called Becausetheinter.net. It's a 73 page screenplay with embedded multimedia.
I love this idea. Screenplays are often just annoying little stacks of paper. They're not usually the end result, but a means to an end.
I'd like to see more people take on this idea.
Use the tools available to create something unique, weird, and wonderful.

The GIITTV reviews database 2003-2011
All the historic reviews from the God Is in The TV webzine.
Dominic Monaghan, Henry Ian Cusick, Sonya Walger, Michael Giacchino, JJ Abrams - Remotely Interested: A love letter (in a bottle) to LOST.
Mark Grainger 31/05/2010
*DISCLAMER* Needless to say this column features information about the series finale of LOST so if you haven't seen it yet look away now.
"It only ends once. Anything else is just progress."
Throughout its six series run LOST has provided a plethora of jaw dropping moments. Who could forget that first glimpse of the murderous smoke monster, the discovery of a hatch door buried deep in the ground or the realisation that half of the cast had turfed up with the mysterious Dharma Initiative, the organisation responsible for the hatch and other hidden bases on the island. These were moments that set message boards and water-coolers alight but much more important in the long term were the heart-tugging moments that, thanks to the level of involvement with the characters that the show built up along with a hint of melodrama, managed to provide an emotional kick to the chest that few other TV shows or even movies manage.
Above all two episodes stand above all others for emotional impact. First is season three's finale, Through The Looking Glass, where washed up Brit-rocker Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) sacrifices himself in the hope that his actions will get his friends, and the love of his life Claire, rescued from the island. Of course Charlie wasn't the first major character to die (that honour goes to Boone in the first season) and he sure as hell wasn't the last, but Charlie's death has come to be one of the most iconic moments of the show for two reasons. Firstly because Monaghan's Charlie knew he going to die through a premonition by islander Desmond Hume (the superb Henry Ian Cusick) and was able to make amends for his drug-addled misdeeds, perfectly demonstrating the show's strong vein of redemption. This was done with heart wrenching scenes of Pace making listing and reliving the best parts of his life and saying goodbye to Claire and her newborn son in full knowledge that he wouldn't be returning. Secondly, Charlie's death managed to create a show defining image in the drowning rocker scrawling a message of warning on his hand for Desmond before succumbing to a rapidly flooding room. Three little words that will bring a sad smile to any Lost fans face: "Not Penny's Boat".
LOST's second emotional peak came the next year with the Desmond-centric episode, The Constant. A truly stellar episode of television by anyone's standards, the episode showed Desmond as his consciousness fell from the present day to 1996 and back again. To stop the consciousness jumps he had to anchor himself with a 'constant' a person who he cares for in both times. The episode culminates in a truly magical third act where 1996 Des reaches out to his estranged girlfriend Penny (whose boat it isn't. Keep up) and begs her to answer a phone call he'll make to her from a freighter in 8 years time. That call is made soon after and is one of the most emotionally all thanks to the sterling work of Cusick, Flashforward's Sonya Walger and LOST's award winning composer, Michael Giacchino.
So, now that I've proved that LOST's best bits are when the show is driven by the 'who' instead of the 'what', time to turn to the finale, The End. A lot of people have been a bit pissed off by the fact that The End offered absolutely no carefully explained answers to any of the show's lingering mysteries, instead giving a vague insight into the island's electromagnetic core. The Egyptian hieroglyphics and statue were never resolved, where Jacob's mother came from wasn't mentioned and neither were the rules Jacob and the Man In Black live by. But d'you know what? I don't care. Not even slightly. Many of these can be left to the imagination (and if you've been watching a show about a mystical island for six years I'd hope you have a decent enough imagination to fill in the gaps), but where The End really delivered was in nostalgia and resolution. Throughout the season we've seen characters old and new in a bizarre alternate world (or 'Flash Sideways') with some of them experiencing memories of their island life. The finale hammered home one emotional jolt after the other with this technique by having Charlie and Claire, Sawyer and Juliet etc meet up in the flash sideways and remember their love and past through beautifully scored montage sequences of their time on the island, often including highlights of the entire show. Turns out this crazy world was the afterlife, some form of limbo that our Losties created so they could meet-up after they had all passed on (naturally or otherwise) before moving on to the next stage. It sounds corny to type but in reality it was beautifully done, what with all the cast embracing each other again despite past differences before being enveloped by light. Again a fair few have complained to this spiritual aspect but I know I'd prefer an afterlife purgatory than discovering the time on the island was a construct of the mind.
Back on the island (in the pre-death real world) Things came to a head when Locke used Desmond to destabilise the island, sparking a mad rush between the characters to A) fix the island B) escape forever aboard the downed Ajira plane and C) kill Locke. As it turned out Jack managed both A and B almost on his own (Kate lent him a helping bullet) but not before being fatally stabbed in the chest. As Hurley and Ben took over the day to day running of the island Jack staggered back through the bamboo field where he first landed and opened his eyes in Pilot Pt 1. Finally he collapses; a grin on his face as he lies on the ground and watches the plane carrying Miles, Richard, Sawyer, Claire, Lapidus, and Kate fly safely overhead off the island to a new life. All this was performed wordlessly with only the swelling orchestral score carrying the audience and was intercut with the ending of the afterlife before finally returning to the island as, in close up, Jack closes his eyes.
Although it would be naive to believe that the show's creators had this planned from the very beginning, or even from when they announced the end date a few years ago, what it did prove unequivocally was that LOST was and always has been about the characters, this disparate group of people trying to survive the trials of the present and the demons of their past. The End strengthened the sixth season as a whole and provided the show with a beautiful, redemptive and cyclical finale.

Discussion in 'Gamers' Pulse' started by FunkyMunniez, Apr 24, 2010.
til august.
It felt too close to SMG2.
Delayed by 2 months! This sucks...
A delayed game is eventually good, while a bad game is bad forever.
also, it minus whale be till september. august 31
I like you're thinkin. It woulda been over shadowed by galaxy 2 comin out anyways
ex: Arkham Asylum. About the same original release date and delay as well, if I remember correctly.
fuck, I was somewhat planning on this to be a great summer game
I guess it's better than being delayed forever a la GT5
August 31 = "we're ballparking the date and it's really closer to the middle or end of September"
Your logic is not sound. A delayed game can still be bad.
I dunno, I've been playing Duke Nukem Forever for about 30+ hours now and I'm not sick of it yet
Looking forward to this...
i still need to run through metroid trilogy. the game is badass it just feels so desolate, i guess, whenever i play it. i feel so alone
I thought I was the only one
fuck no, man. it's the only reason why i can't play through the shit. it's fucking strange.
hopefully it's not like the gamecube ones
flamesuit on
did anyone here even play sin and punishment? i got it but haven't even played it yet, lol.
I felt the same way with the Prime games. I own all 3 and have only ever played the first one...and not even in full but I know they're all the same idea. I was LOVING it at first, but then I got to a point where I just had nowhere to go...
I bought 2 and 3 here a while back at a good price, with intent to finish 1, play 2 then play 3 and I restarted 1 (what...7 years after starting it the first time?) and just couldnt get into it. I wanted to but I realized what I like about Metroid is the side scroller goodness. I played through zero mission, super metroid and metroid fusion with no problem...but the Primes just don't pull me in.
I am hoping that this one feels like the sidescroller that a lot of the scenes look like, but a recent article on Kotaku has me worried that the controls will be annoying...
that's the best part about it.

I recorded a morning Rant (Published as a Podcast below), which i made whilst sat with a coffee, reading messages from frustrated colleagues complaining about mobile related issues ("This app i use for my work has dissapeared", "My apps have updated to become paid apps and are too expensive", "My favourite app has disappeared from the appstore after i paid for it…)
And this triggered my mind to wander off and list a lot of my own frustrations with the mobile ecosphere and mobile operating system, and its failings and weaknesses when using mobile OS for Content Creation, Productivity and Workflow. It became apparent to me that the statement 'The Future is Mobile' (something i have been saying since 2004), is a fallacy when stated so simply.
The future is not mobile 0S.. The future is that desktop OS, Will go into mobile devices. It is the device that we should see as going Mobile, but not the operating system. It is the desktop operating system which will, and IS currently being incorporated into small portable mobile devices. This should indeed deprecate any stunted puny Mobile operating system, because none of them can fulfil the task as well as desktop operating system can. As I was pondering this in my half waking state, which some people may call Hypnagogic, I decided to record my thoughts as a podcast, and publish it, so here it is.
In the Podcast, i state many of my own personal disappointments which have served to disenchant me as far as Mobile OS and the Future of Mobile, as far as its applied uses are concerned. The main issue which occurs to me is that MObile OS is 100% Consumption Based, and has very little thought up to cater for content creators and productivity. All content creation and productivity apps are pretty stunted compared to their Desktop OS versions, a perfect example of that to demonstrate being Photoshop CS, compared to Adobe Photoshop PS Express in iOS and Android. There is absolutely no comparison.
Then of course the monkey see, monkey do, tendency of corporations to follow all their trends and instincts to use apps, to gather data and take advantage of the user as much as possible for their own purposes. App developers in general do very little to actually benefits the end user, and most of their"New features" are designed to gather data from the user and serve advertisers ads to you the end user. It's all about gathering user data, And very few of the"features added" are actually useful to the end user. Mostly, apps are designed, to gather your consumer data, in order to sell to advertisers, or to advertise their own products.
I myself paid for two game apps in the Apple app store paying $20 each for those apps, namely; chaos rings one, and chaos rings two, from Square Enix, who are the makers of the Final Fantasy role-playing game series. After iOS updated to iOS nine, both of these games broke and stopped working, and square in mix removed both of them from the app store. What about the million people who pay $20 each for those games? We paid for them and we have had them stolen back from us!
Of course one could take legal action and SUE them, but one would have to do first find out which country one has to sue them in, because it might be the American branch, or the Japanese branch. And then, if you want to sue them for two 20$ apps, I can tell you it will be impossible. I have had to hire a lawyer in Singapore during the last few years and can tell you that if you want to sue anyone or take anything to court, that you have to pay $10-$15,000 retainer just to get through the first two hearings. They will also tell you that There is no guarantee that the people you are suing will be forced to pay your legal costs. And so, unless person has $15-$30,000 to waste, then it's not worth suing them for $40. These companies know this, and that's why they can get away with it. There is no point complaining to Apple because they will just ignore you.
The point is then, that people's Faith and Trust in the products in the marketplace of the app stores is fading, because there is no guarantee that the apps you pay for, won't disappear suddenly! They do, i can confirm that.
One of my favourite apps which I use to remotely post to my many WordPress blogs is called blog pad pro and have been using it on my iPad since 2014. However since then they stop supporting and updating the app which I paid $15 for. And so there is no security in using apps or paying for them using the mobile ecosphere. The same happened with Adobe photo shop touch for iOS. They haven't updated this paid app which I paid $8 for, since 2014! When I open the app on my iPhone now in 2017, I get a pop-up window, which states; "This app Will slow down your iPhone – the developer needs to update to the current operating system".
I wrote to the Adobe feedback section about this and they never even answered me. I keep sending them screenshot of the pop-up message and complaining, but there is no response.
I have a much more powerful version of the photo shop app on my Mac computer, which is the 2014 version of Adobe photo shop CS. It never asked me to update and I'm still using it and it serves me well. This shows how with desktop OS, you don't have constant updates and there is very little risk that you will lose your apps.
I think that explains one of the other reasons why the mobile era is going to hang itself by the neck.
The other main issue is that of functionality; It is so fiddly trying to use your own invented workarounds to try to complete the workflow on a mobile device with a mobile OS. Especially with an Apple device which has no mouse pad/trackpad or cursor.
However, we can see something new arriving, which is also what is going to pull the noose around the neck of mobile operating systems. There are now fully functional desktop operating system is appearing within Mobile tablet size devices. And even a first attempt at making mobile phone able to perform desktop style operations, by plugging it into an external keyboard, mouse and screen.
I speak of course of the Microsoft surface pro and even more impressive, the new galaxy book 10 and 12 inch Windows 10 devices. The Samsung Galaxy Book has a keyboard case very much like that of the iPad Pro. But it has a trackpad too!
What's the point in fiddling about on an iPad when you can have a fully fledged desktop operating system on a device the same size and weight?
The future of mobile is not mobile operating systems. The future of mobile, is desktop operating system within portable device.
What is an App?
What is an App Anyway if not a Browser with one single domain as its total scope of visitation?
Hey let's take the Google U-tube app for example; the app itself doesn't have anything inside it except in a frame or better said a browser window. This browser window takes you to M.YouTube.com
What we call the mobile app is actually just another version of the YouTube website on its on server redesigned to accommodate small mobile screens. It also removes half of the functionality that you might find in a fully fledged browser. And so most apps like YouTube and Facebook, I'm really stunted browsers that only allow you to go to one single domain you can go to the mobile or the desktop version of YouTube.com in any universal browser, be it Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or any other browser, and in addition, you can visit any other website that exists on the Internet in the same browser window. You can't do that in an app!
The Open Free Market of WWW
Although I would say there is no such thing as an unbiased search engine, and that search engines like Google and Bing, are merely there to serve advertising, and give you a few results from their preferred affiliates or preferred websites. But at least, with some diligent searching, you can still find the blog of John Doe who is somebody in a village somewhere in the Ukraine and makes blog about his life. If all we have to search for all of everybody's content on the www, is apps, and search engines like Google, who are advertising based, then it will become ever harder for 'little old me' and 'little old you' with your tiny personal blog, to get some exposure, and for us to be able to find each other's websites
If all we use is Facebook to post and share content, instead of our own blogs and websites, then we will all become anonymous, and the world will have no open source internet anymore, where you can find information written by anybody and everybody
The internet is becoming a closed environment instead of an open Matrix
In 'The Old Days' we wold have all of the content on the internet linked with a neural synape network of connected links (like Wikipedia links to its own internal pages, but inbstead, all websites linking to and referring to each other. You dont see websites linking to each other much anymore, instead, we see adverts, afilliate links, and internal links.
A Message from the Inventor of the Internet, Tim Berners-Lee on the 28th Birthday of the Internet mentions Three Challenges for the Web, to add to his Initial Proposal for the Web made back at the beginning of the Internet Era 28 years Ago (written in 2017).
The three issues he mentions as;
1. We've lost control of our personal data.
2. It's too easy for misinformation to spread on the web
3. Political advertising online needs transparency and understanding
To get a better understanding from the Horse's Mouth, instead of my feeble explanation, you could do much worse than to listen to Tikm himsef speaking on the Next Evolution of the Internet, and what issues need addressing, in the below TED Talk
A Policy of Containment
I will be short here as i wish to make a longer article about the Policy of Containment, but to be brief, i will say that the wide open savannah of the world wide web, is becoming a Landscape of Cell-Blocks with Individual Apps, containing the end user/consumer within its own closed environment, and preventing the user form leaving to go somewhere else to enjoy content. During all of this, you are being served Ads, and your consumer behaviour is being gathered and stored for further optimised advertising.
For your perusal and contemplation, i have added a list of related links below, to strengthen and underline, and expand on the points i make in this article;
Browsers, Not Apps, are the Future of Mobile
Why we won't Use Mobile Apps in the Future
Google Says Apps Have No Future
Why Mobile Apps Will Soon Be Dead – MIT Technology Review
The Future of Mobile Apps (Business Insider)

As a last question, we ask "in whose hands is the Future of Mobile?" (Steve Balmer? or Developers?)

"On a deux yeux pour voir le monde, un cœur pour le ressentir. Ne les oublions pas, le futur dépend de notre relation à eux et aux autres" Karim Ben Khelifa (Camera lucida productions The Enemy / Ennemi)
"Merci au Mundaneum pour cette merveilleuse utopie, son accueil, et cette rencontre autour d'un espoir de paix ..." Emmanuel Courcol
"Une thématique parfaite pour un lieu aussi envoutant, consacré au savoir et à sa transmission: comment l'image peut-elle nous aider à mieux comprendre l'autre lorsqu'il est ravalé au rang d'ennemi?" Olivier Standaert
Thank you very much for a lively and constructive night punctuated by many relevant questions.
Coming back to the Mundaneum is always an adventure!
Fucking gorgeous place ! In the shadow of Schuiten and of endless knowledge.
When bits and bytes come to play, they always find humans to help themselves grow. Never stop computing!
The similarities between our organisations and those who invented processes and developed ideas of the future are numerous. I wish the best for the rebirth of the Mundaneum!
"With my appreciation of the spirit of Paul Otlet."
"Enjoy life! Long life to creativity but seek fertility, that it leads to innovation. "
"The Mundaneum reminds us that there is nothing new - it is only rediscovered in new ways, with new technology and with new capability. The Mundaneum, Memex, and now the Internet World Wide Web are only the latest manifestation. I can hardly wait to see what comes next!"
"The Mundaneum is a place so atypical."
"My congratulations to the Mundaneum project, innovation on innovation, for restoring history in key of future."
"The Mundaneum confirms my opinion about the invention of the web: it is not an invention, rather a convergence of elements and precursors who brought smaller or bigger building blocks to the edifice we know today. Extremely important attempts; we just happened to be at the right place at the right time to jump-start what we know today as the web."
" Thank you to open to me the doors of the Google ancestor. "
"Youth, motivation, history, ambient charm. Bravo!"
"It was a pleasure to share here in Mons and in the Mundaneum, the ideas of cyberculture for which you undeniably have some sympathy. "
"What a beautiful moment and what beautiful meetings ... Now I'm a fan of Google and the " Google of paper."
"The partnership betweel Google and the Mundaneum marks another step in the development of the information sociey in our country."
"We have gone back to our roots by supporting the Mundaneum project."
"I was very proud to display my photos in this exceptional place."
"More than ever, long life to the Mundaneum!"
"It was a great honour to speak in this Mundaneum, a fabulous place for media anticipation."
"A very big thank to the Mundaneum for its warm welcome!"
"For the Mundaneum team. Thank you. "

It was a frantic weekend for the North West's cricketers with action in the Ulster Cup and the Sammy Jeffrey Shield as well as double fixtures in both Divisions of the Billy Henderson leagues.
Limavady lost out at the semi-final stage of the All-Northern Ireland competition when North Down proved too strong at the Hunter Grounds but the Roesiders saw their chances of domestic league success enhanced as both Donemana and Strabane lost on Sunday.
Glendermott pulled clear of the relegation scrap when a majestic unbeaten double century from their professional Roy Silva ended Donemana's winning streak, leaving Eglinton and Bonds Glen to scrap it out now after neither managed a weekend win.
It was a big week for The Nedd and Creevedonnell in Division 2 after both qualified for the final of the Sam Jeffrey Shield with wins over St. Johnston and Creevedonnell respectively and the pair also then recorded important league wins on Sunday.

Michelle Bradley
"Soprano Michelle Bradley won the George London-Leonie Rysanek Award, one of the top five, and she was easily the star of the day. With her gorgeous voice, rich, rounded, and violet colored, she sang Verdi's "D'amor sull ali rosee" from Il Trovatore, and it was tremendous. Beyond the sheer beauty of her voice and her technical command, Bradley had clearly thought deeply about the music. The shape of her phrases distilled not only the character but the drama of the opera down to a musical essence."
George Grella, New York Classical Review, February 18, 2017
MICHELLE BRADLEY, a native of Houston, Texas, is in her second year of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Roles she has performed include Mozart's Fiordilligi and Donna Anna, Strauss' Marschallin, and Verdi's Alice Ford.
In the Metropolitan Opera's 2016-2017 season, Ms. Bradley made debuts in Mozart's Idomeneo and as the High Priestess in Verdi's Aida. Other engagements include recitals at the Théâtre du Châtelet and at New York's Park Avenue Amory and a return to Santa Cruz for Verdi's Messa da Requiem. Future engagements . . . include performances as Clotilde in Norma with the Metropolitan Opera in 2017-2018.
In January 2016, Ms. Bradley performed in Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Recital Series in honor of Marilyn Horne, and in May she made her debut singing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Santa Cruz Symphony Orchestra. Prior to that, she completed a nationwide recital tour ending in May of 2015
Ms. Bradley is the 2017 recipient of the Leonie Rysanek Award from the George London Foundation, the 2016 recipient of the Hildegard Behrens Foundation Award, and a first place winner in the Gerda Lissner and the Serge and Olga Koussevitzky vocal competitions. She is the 2014 grand prize winner of The Music Academy of the West's Marilyn Horne Song Competition.
Ms. Bradley received her Masters of Music in Vocal Performance from Bowling Green State University. She has participated in master classes with Stephanie Blythe, Anne Sofie von Otter, Marilyn Horne, Deborah Voigt, James Morris, and Renata Scotto.

Very fed up since Graduating
Graduated on Christmas Day and have been in a lot of pain since. I've had shin problems since I started running, in my left leg only. Since then I've been really in pain with what I now think are shin splints (not totally sure but hard to even walk)
Anyway two days ago I decided to try a gentle run/walk and went back to wk 5 run 1. Managed it ok but was still hurting the next day. Not much worse than before but manageable. Today I've been out again and done week 6 run 1 so that's 18 mins of running. Not feeling too bad. The tester will be tomorrow morning.
I just hope as I get a bit stronger I can start to increase again. I'm really at a loss as to what I can do to help this silly left leg. I have to be very careful as my livelihood depends on my being able to walk well as I have a dog walking business Keeping everything crossed because I'm crazily busy this week and will probably walk about 80km between now and Friday. Wish me luck!!
I want more than anything to be able to run pain free. Am going to search out some shin splint exercizes. If anyone has any advice please help if you can. Thank you.
Hope you are all well and have had a lovely weekend
Barbara xx

Symbolizing and Communicating in Mathematics Classrooms: Perspectives on Discourse, Tools, and Instructional Design
Hardcover - Rent for
This volume grew out of a symposium on discourse, tools, and instructional design at Vanderbilt University in 1995 that brought together a small international group to grapple with issues of communicating, symbolizing, modeling, and mathematizing, particularly as these issues relate to learning in the classroom. The participants invited to develop chapters for this bookall internationally recognized scholars in their respective fieldswere selected to represent a wide range of theoretical perspectives including mathematics education, cognitive science, sociocultural theory, and discourse theory. The work is distinguished by the caliber of the contributors, the significance of the topics addressed in the current era of reform in mathematics education, and the diversity of perspectives taken to a common set of themes and issues.
The book is intended for those who are seeking to expand their understanding of the complexity of learning in order to enhance the learning experiences students have in schools, primarily researchers, instructional designers, and graduate students in mathematics education, as well as those in other fields including science education, instructional design in general, discourse theory, and semiotics.
