Saudi King Representative meets Nawaz: reminded of agreementOctober 19, 2010
LONDON: Representative of Saudi King Abdullah met with PML-N Chief nawaz Sharif in London for three hours in which he once again relate the message to abide by the agreement made during the tenure of former President Pervez Musharraf.
Sources told that three days before a representative of Saudi King Abdullah met with Nawaz Sharif in a luxurious hotel in the UK during which the message of the Saudi King was conveyed by asking Nawaz Sharif to abide by his agreement for not participating in politics till 20th December, 2010 and also not to indulge in any talk against former President Musharraf.
Due to this agreement, Nawaz Sharif has not made any new statement against former president in or outside the country.
PML Sources told that Nawaz Sharif does not want to be in the bad books of Saudi King Abdullah hence want to spend the remaining two months of his agreement peacefully.
Sources say that Nawaz Sharif had expressed his sheer desire to meet Saudi King Abdullah after coming back from London but the latter in a message refused saying that he will call him (Nawaz) when he wants.
It must be worthwhile mentioning that Saudi Arabia is fuming and annoyed with Sharif Brothers over participation of Mian Shahbaz Sharif in elections thus Mian Nawaz refrain from by-elections in view to avoid putting fuel on fire.
On the other hand, when Media Coordinator of the PML-N Asim Khan was contacted he was of a clear-cut stance that he is not aware of the Representative of Saudi King Abdullah meeting with PML-N Chief Mian Nawaz Sharif in London urging Pervez Musharraf is not a big politician thus brushing aside some of the allegations on the twice Prime Minister of Pakistan thick and thin.

12th October 1999 – Eagle vs DucklingsOctober 12, 2010
Real Life Drama in the Air (Remembering 12th October, 1999)October 12, 2010
October, 1999 Capt Sarwat of Pakistan International Airlines Airbus-300, an old buddy, and I had gone to Colombo, Sri Lanka for Airlanka Golf classic tournament. On the 10th October, after returning from the 18th hole (towards the finish of the game) that I saw General Pervez Musharraf (chief of Joint staff and Chief of the army staff) teeing- off with the Bangladeshi COAS for a friendly match. Gen Musharraf had gone to Colombo to represent Pakistan on the 50th anniversary of Sri Lankan armed forces. On the 12th October we were to return back to Pakistan and our flight route was Colombo-Male (Maldives)–Karachi. The flight time between Male and Karachi was almost three and a half hours. Capt. Sarwat was Commander of the flight PK/805 and I was traveling as a passenger in the club class but being cockpit crew of PIA I could visit the cockpit with the consent of the Capt. of the flight. The First officer of the flight was Mr. Shami {who was on his first clearance check flight to Sri Lanka} and the flight engineer Mr. Amir.
Gen Pervez Musharraf boarded the plane with his wife and two of his personal staff officers. Gen. Musharraf and his wife were seated in the front extreme right hand side seats and the PSO's occupied the last two seats on the same side. There were a total of 198 persons aboard that flight out of which almost 50 were children from the American school with six foreign teachers. The flight to Male was bumpy due to rain and clouds. At Male, which was a transit stop, Gen. Musharraf, his wife and the PSO's disembarked to see the strange looking island which had nothing but just a runway strip. At Male, Capt. Sarwat after getting the weather information of Karachi and Nawabshah decided to refuel the aircraft, keeping Nawabshah airfield as an alternative (Nawabshah airfield is almost 110 nautical miles north east of Karachi). It meant that the aircraft could reach Karachi and in contingency could divert to Nawabshah and keep flying in air for another 45 minutes before landing at Nawabshah which is normally the fuel policy of the airlines throughout the world.
The departure from Male was uneventful. The airplane started cruising at 29000 feet, I was sitting in the cockpit jump seat and occasionally would stand up to stretch and walk in the cabin. During the flight, the air guards and the cabin crew requested Gen Pervez Musharraf for individual and group photographs. Capt Sarwat also came to the club class from the cockpit to greet the VIP.
After two and half hours of flight and now cruising at 33000 feet, we established contact with Karachi air traffic controller. The first thing the Karachi radio controller asked was how much fuel was on board? What was our alternate airfield? And how many passengers were on board? I was standing behind the flight Engineer's seat and listening to the whole conversation through the cockpit speakers. On hearing this I did point out to Capt. Sarwat "Isn't it strange for Karachi to be asking this?" to which he nodded "yes". It was a clear night and probably the third of moon was out but we could later on see Karachi very clearly. The initial approach given to us was direct Marvi (shortest route) but after a while Karachi changed the clearance via Nansi (the longer route) and gave us descent clearance to 10000 ft.
As the airplane reached almost within 60 miles the Karachi tower said "PK /805 you are not cleared to land at Karachi"."Can we proceed to Nawabshah?" Capt Sarwat asked ATC after pondering for a little while as to what must be going on down below. "Nawabshah is also closed" came the reply. "But Nawabshah is our alternate!" said Capt Sarwat forcefully. Karachi ATC said "you will land at your own risk you cannot land in Pakistan. All airfields are closed". "We do not have fuel for any other airfield!" Capt. Sarwat replied but once again but there was complete silence from the ATC.
The Karachi ATC was questioned thrice but all in vain —- there was no answer. During the ATC conversation it seemed quite obvious that someone behind the controller was passing the instruction because more than three or more persons could be heard in the background of the reception. A KLM flight which was somewhere in air and listening to this conversation also shouted, "Karachi why don't you give the reason to the PK 805″. While the commotion was on, Capt Sarwat assumed that perhaps it may be due to the VIP sitting aboard. Sarwat knowing my air force background asked me and the other crew "Partner what do you think, should I tell the general about this?" I butted in and said why not, let's get whatever help we can!" Capt called the purser and asked him to inform the personal staff officers of the general. Both the PSO's were informed and they came rushing into the cockpit. After listening to the Capt. they went to inform the General. Meanwhile Capt Sarwat asked the flight engineer as to how much fuel was left, and if we could make it to Muscat. "No way, we have only five and a half tons of fuel left at this 10000 feet altitude" he calculated. Meanwhile General Musharraf had entered the cockpit. During the discussion between the flight crew members, two other alternate airfields for diversion were considered. Chahbahar in Iran and Ahmedabad in India. After a little discussion with the flight engineer regarding remaining fuel and new airfield and night landing facility, Chahbahar was not considered as an alternate airfield. "Do we have the approach and landing information on Ahmedabad? Please open and consult Jeppesen (the flight crew bible} immediately" Sarwat asked the co-pilot.
General Musharraf was listening to the conversation and he asserted "We will not go to India, that is not an option", to which Capt Sarwat said "okay General as you say." Now the Gen said that he wanted to talk to the Corp commander Karachi, immediately. After a while the PSO gave the mobile telephone number to the flight engineer and wrote the land telephone number of the Corp. Commander. Karachi.
The flight engineer Amir tried many times to dial the telephone but there was no dial tone. In this hurry and in presence of the general, the flight engineer mishandled his flash light and broke its glass. The flight engineer Amir said we are not getting the connection through and it seems as if the telephone lines have been cut. The general then asked as to why we couldn't speak on the long range radio- the high frequency. The flight engineer tried to establish contact through company high frequency phone patch but it was all quiet, and no answer was received.
The other airplanes flying in Karachi vicinity were instructed by the Karachi ATC to divert because Karachi airport was closed. An aircraft of Pakistan Air Force which was in inbound to Karachi from Islamabad was instructed by the Karachi air traffic controller to land at Nawabshah, immediately. But the PAF Captain was not willing to accept this order and asserted that the PAF flight would go back to Islamabad. While the argument between the PAF aircraft and Karachi ATC were going on the Capt Sarwat changed the radio frequency. However later on I investigated about the PAF flight and I found out that it was a Boeing 737 VIP aircraft, which was on routine maintenance trip to Karachi but was forced to land at Nawabshah airfield. The police at Nawabshah, with special instructions was waiting for the two engine jet aircraft. Since it is difficult for a common man to distinguish between a Boeing 737 and an Airbus A-300, therefore Nawabshah police cordoned off the aircraft after parking. But as the doors were opened Pakistani Army soldiers rushed to the aircraft and shouted at the police to buzz off otherwise they would be shot at. The Police dispersed and now the army took charge of the aircraft.
An Army officer entered the aircraft. To their dismay, they found the wife and children of the PAF Capt sitting inside, "Where is the General?" inquired the army officer. "What General?" asked the crew? PAF crew told them that they were going to Karachi from Islamabad. "But we were told that you are coming from Colombo" said the officer surprised In the air at the very same time, the first officer of the aircraft saw two blips on traffic collision avoidance system and shouted "We are being intercepted; probably there are two fighter aircraft". The conversation in the cockpit our plane had become tense and was blended with other actions in the cockpit, which had become rather twice demanding. I noticed that at no point any of the crew or the VIP lost their cool. The general insisted several times that we land at Karachi. He also inquired as to why we couldn't land at the air force runways at Karachi. But probably due to the fighter aircraft and no knowledge as to what was happening below on ground, with no runway lights landing at PAF Airfields was considered as the last option. If we could not land at Karachi or at Nawabshah due to runway blockade with tractors and bulldozers etc then Shahrah-e-Faisal or Masroor was the last option anyways. At this point Capt Sarwat changed to PIA company radio channel. Sarwat was asked about the remaining fuel. Someone at the company channel directed PK805 to proceed and land at Nawabshah, then refuel the airplane with 30 tones of fuel and once again get airborne and wait for further instructions. After a few minutes, the Karachi ATC came on air and cleared PK805 to divert to Nawabshah. . Capt Sarwat then heaved a sigh of relief and said "Let's go to Nawabshah". The Airbus climbed like a missile to 20000 feet in no time since there was hardly any fuel left in the aircraft and it was rather light. At about 60 miles north of Karachi PK805 was redirected to come and land at Karachi by the Karachi ATC. A quick turnabout and descent was initiated. Someone from the ATC asked to speak to the general. Capt Sarwat gave his microphone to the general and said, "Sir please speak".
"This is Pervez Musharraf, who is there?" the general inquired very assertively. "I am Gen. Iftikhar sir, your retirement was announced two hours before but we are in control. Please land at Karachi "Where is the Corp Commander?" the general questioned "He is in the next room waiting for you "was the reply. Both the PSO's were listening and the younger PSO (a Major) said" Sir, ask him the name of his dog". Probably he wanted to be sure in recognizing the GOC, but the general who had kept his cool all along said confidently, "He is my man, don't worry!"(Later on this officer on ground happened to be a friend of mine who told me that General Musharraf had given him two puppies and that's how the PSO wanted to determine his identity) Meanwhile he plane was reaching for its final approach. Suddenly the low fuel warning light of right wing fuel tank came on with an audio chime. The cockpit was dead silent and everyone was waiting to feel the touchdown as soon as possible. We had waited almost one hour and ten minutes in the air. The remaining fuel of 1.2 ton in the wing tanks, if reliable, was only available for approximately ten minutes of flight time. At twelve miles short of landing, the left wing fuel tank warning light also appeared with chime.
After touch down PK 805 was asked to park at the remote area (Bay 66) and was informed that no other person than the VIP will come out of the aircraft. After the engines shut down, the army soldiers who were almost two hundred cordoned-off the aircraft. The General was looking from the cockpit window and seemed relaxed. Before disembarking from the aircraft the general shook hands with all of us and said, "Thank you, don't worry all is well, he's my man." And he immediately passed his very first order through his PSO, "Tell them I don't want anyone to leave the country."
The General, his wife, who was trying to control her tears, and the two PSO's disembarked from the plane and were greeted by the Corp. Commander and the GOC with salutes from the soldiers. They all went inside a building for a short conference, which took almost 15 min after which the whole contingent drove away very fast. PK805 was not allowed to start the engines perhaps because of the security and almost no remaining fuel and was thus towed to the international arrival side (Bay 23). During the whole episode I was the quietest and the closest observer in the cockpit and was thoroughly impressed to watch total professionalism from Capt Sarwat and his crew. Not to mention the way General carried himself and remained confident and totally composed throughout the whole episode.

I am not going to get into politics here. A buddy sent me this and I thought was interesting. I am sure some of these fellas had some previous training, or at least were not strangers to violence, both the winners and the losers, but under adrenaline dump what you saw was roundhouses, windmilling (one roundhouse after the other), body tackles, and low kicks. Once people where on the ground it was hammer fists, knees, and kicks to the head.
You can see that even though they were there for no other reason but to fight, once they were overwhelmed they balled up in the fetal position and just waited for it to stop. Would have been more interesting if this happened in a parking lot with walls around.
This is why your training has to be based on on your body's fight/flight/freeze reaction and not stylized,scripted nonsense.
I look forward to people comments on this video here and on Facebook. Please refrain from any political debates. We are more interested in preparing for violence than where it comes from.

Adobe's main focus may still be Flash 10.1 for mobile devices, but work is being done to bring another platform to smartphones: AIR.
For those who don't know, AIR is Adobe's solution to allowing Flash/Flex programs to run as applications rather than just in a browser. So you can take a Flash game, for example, recompile it to AIR, and load it up on your Android device as if it was a native app.
The advantage to using AIR is the fact it can deploy to multiple platforms. Writing a desktop app in AIR means it will work on Windows, Mac, Linux, or in the browser with very little extra work. With this latest development it also means you can bring the same app to Android smartphones.
AIR for Android is currently in beta, but when finished will allow Flash developers to deploy and sell their app in the Android Marketplace.

Matthew's Opinion
This is exactly what Apple wanted to avoid on the iPhone and iPad. Allowing Flash also meant AIR was viable, so the potential would be there for the App Store to fill up with apps running on AIR rather than natively using the iPhone developer libraries. That may not seem like a major problem, but the concern is if Apple do an update and it breaks AIR, it's going to break all the apps people have bought that run using AIR too.
I'm glad Android allows for Flash and AIR though, as we will get to see if Adobe can pull this off. Can an app be written in Flash, deployed to AIR, and run on Android without any major performance problems? If it can, and updates to Android don't interfere with the operation of AIR apps, then Apple's argument against it is somewhat diminished.
The big winners in this are Flash developers who will more easily be able to target Android devices with their existing apps. I'm sure Adobe hopes to sell a few more copies of CS5 by doing this too.

School Attendance
St Thomas More VC Academy seeks to ensure that all of its pupils receive a full time education which maximises opportunities for each pupil to realise his/her true potential. The school will strive to provide a welcoming, caring environment, whereby each member of the school community feels wanted and secure. All school staff will work with pupils and their families to ensure each pupil attends school regularly and punctually.
The school will establish an effective system of incentives and rewards that acknowledges the efforts of pupils to improve their attendance and timekeeping and will challenge the behaviour of those pupils and parents who give low priority to attendance and punctuality. Further information can be found in our Trust-wide Attendance and Punctuality policy located within the 'Policies' section of our website.
To meet these objectives St Thomas More will establish an effective and efficient system of communication with pupils, parents and appropriate agencies to provide mutual information, advice and support. The following 'quick reference' guides hope to provide our parents and carers with key messages from our Attendance and Punctuality policy:
Pupils can come into school from 8.45 am and the school day starts promptly at 8.50 am. If a child arrives at school after the register has been taken (8.50am to 9.20am) they are marked on the registers as 'late'. Pupils arriving any time after 9.20am will be marked on the registers as an 'unauthorised' half day absence.
Afternoon registration begins at 1.00pm and registration closes immediately after the register is taken.
Pupils arriving late must report to the school office to be signed in by an adult and give a reason for their lateness. Any unjustifiable reason for absence will be marked as unauthorised. It is vital that pupils sign in at the office to ensure that appropriate health and safety regulations are followed and that all pupils are accounted for.
Persistent lateness may result in further action by the school or possible prosecution by the local authority.
Unexplained absences will be investigated by the attendance officer.
What we expect of parents and carers
As part of our whole-school approach to maintaining high attendance, we request that parents:
- engage with their children's education – support their learning and take an interest in what they have been doing at school
- promote the value of good education and the importance of regular school attendance at home
- encourage and support their children's aspirations
- follow the set school procedure for reporting the absence of their child from school and include an expected date for return
- do everything they can to prevent unnecessary school absences, such as making medical and dental appointments outside school hours
- use the school as a support when they or their child are having difficulties, and work to form a positive relationship with the school so that there is easy communication when a problem arises
- keep the school informed of any circumstances which may affect their child's attendance
- enforce a regular routine at home in terms of homework, bedtime, etc. so that the child is used to consistency and the school day becomes part of that routine (it is vital that the child receives the same message at home as they do at school about the importance of attendance)
- do not take their children out of school for holidays during term time. If parents would like to make a special request for this, they may do so to the Head of School using the following Leave of Absence request form:
What we expect of pupils
As part of our whole-school approach to maintaining high attendance, we request that pupils:
- be aware of the school's attendance rules and when and what they are required to attend. This will be communicated to them through school staff, parents and the school timetable
- speak to any member of staff if they are experiencing difficulties at school or at home which may impact on their attendance
- attend all lessons ready to learn
- follow the correct set school procedure if they arrive late. This will help the school to monitor attendance and keep accurate records for the child's individual attendance, and is also vital for health and safety in the event of a school evacuation.

I just want lesbian s**
So, lately i've been watching p***, mostly lesbian p***. Now that i've watched it, I really want to try it. I think it would be fun to do it with some stranger, but it's also really dangerous. I live in MN, and i'm 13. Yeah, i'm a minor. I reaaaaally want to try it though..just once. What should I do?

I've watched lesbian p*** too and I also want to try it too. I'm 13 too. I thought I was alone though but I guess not
I feel the exact same .. I live in Canada MB . 16 .female. Aahaha;)
S** is a fundamental part of who we are. To say she should figure out who she is, and in the next breath tell her not to explore her sexuality, is to contradict yourself.
Please take what i tell you seriously.considering i for one am responsible for raising girls and boys your age i know what im talking about.
This phase in your life you starting to develop alot of energy that your gana have to put in a specific interest.dont watch p*** and stay away from all that.because at this age you should discover yourself as a person not you s** life.that comes later.hopefully when your married.go look sports,arts, hobbies,interests, thats the stuff that you should be emptying your energy in.because what you do at this age will shape your personality forever.go read about religioun, islam for one teachs great discipline( not preaching just saying).read more.you need to educated more and be smarter not hornier.and stay away from pointless free time.cuz when you have nothing good todo.you will probably do stuff that are bad for you.
Stop talking s**** when my p**** is wet and itchy sport and passtimes are no good i want s**
You could just stop watching p***...you're 13... learn self discipline...go focus on your studies...act like a 13 year old...find yourself...hobbies,interests, faith, away from the whole s** thing cuz then itll be all you think about and youll turn into a s*** without even realizing it...
Just dont go and ask someone you gotta be subtle and slow about it and you will find a perfect girl for you dear! If i was younger i wouldnt mind helping(/
No responsible adult will have s** with you but maybe there's a girl a school you could experiment with? Careful though, you tell the wrong girl and she'll blab it all over school.
Wait until you're AT LEAST sixteen. there are some laws that could cause the other person to be charged with rape because of your young age. it could ruin someone else's record and life, even if it is consensual.

"Don't cross the streams." "There is no Dana, there is only Zuul" "Are you a god?" "We're ready to believe you!" If these quotes mean nothing to you, then you can probably skip over the rest of this review as there is a bit of basic Ghostbusters knowledge you'll need to fully understand this. In what can be described as pure fan service, Ghostbusters: The Video Game does everything it can to give you what is basically the third Ghostbusters movie. From the entire principal cast returning to do voice work, to Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis lending their help to the script, multiple references to the first and second Ghostbuster movies and even using many of the original film's music, you really feel the immersion into the Ghostbusters' universe.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game takes place in 1991, two years after the events of Ghostbusters II. You play the role of a new recruit who the other Ghostbusters only refer to as Rookie. The game starts off with paranormal activity that centers on the Gozer exhibit at the museum. A shockwave is sent out, which attracts the attention of Ray and Egon, and which also frees resident ghost mascot Slimer in the process. The team chases Slimer to the Sedgewick Hotel where he is eventually captured, destroying a familiar looking hotel reception room in the process. No sooner had they wrapped up this incident, than they were greeted by a familiar Gozer destructor form. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is wreaking havoc in Times Square and once again the team is called into action to defeat him. What unravels after these events is a plot which, of course, will bring about the destruction of the human world.
Gameplay is mainly comprised of third-person shooting. You start the game off with the iconic proton pack which weakens ghosts until the point where they can be captured and sent into a trap. Since there is no ammo in the game, you can continue firing your weapon until it overheats. If it overheats you temporarily cannot use your weapon, you can stop this by manually cooling it down. However if this were the only weapon in the game, the gameplay would get really stale really quickly. Luckily, being the new guy, Ray gives you all the new equipment to test. While some of these new weapons give you the feeling they were just thrown in without much thought, they are all distinctly different so it just doesn't feel like a slightly different proton pack. You also earn money for every ghost you defeat that you can use to upgrade your weapons. The upgrades are minor and you can upgrade them all fairly quickly, but it's a nice touch to have them.
Similarly, there are different types of defeating enemies to vary things up. While the stronger ghosts are captured, some of the lesser ones you just destroy by depleting their energy. Some are distinctly unique like the gargoyles which you must capture and slam into the ground to break them. There are also first person elements as well when using the PKE Meter. In the game, you use the PKE Meter to scan enemies for their weaknesses, reveal ghosts you normally couldn't see, find passageways to the next area and search for hidden bonus items you can collect. There is no HUD that displays health, instead like many shooter heroes, your health regenerates when you aren't getting attacked. If you happen to fall in battle, as long as there is another team member near you, they can revive you.
As mentioned earlier, this game does not try to hide the blatant Ghostbusters' fan service. This is great for fans of the movies, but also limits the audience of who will enjoy this game who might not understand why a giant painting of Vigo the Carpathian constantly taunts you at Ghostbusters headquarters. But even for hardcore fans it may give you the feeling that it falls a little short of being a total revival for the franchise. At times it feels like it relies too heavily on past movie references. The storyline makes it feel like Ghostbusters 1.5 rather than a true third movie. Some of the performances feel a bit subdued as well, primarily Bill Murray as Peter Venkman. You get the feeling that he isn't quite putting his all into the role. That being said the performances by Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis feel spot on and there have been more than once instance where I found myself laughing at the writing. Ultimately that is what's going to keep you playing the campaign mode. The gameplay, while unique, doesn't exactly carry single player. Since storyline quality can be a subjective thing, if it doesn't draw you in, you may not find much to keep you playing.
It won't take long to complete the campaign and it does not offer much replay value, but there is a surprisingly robust multiplayer mode that is available. All multiplayer modes are co-op up to 4 players and they all vary in mission types. For example one mode is a survival type mode, where you capture ghosts until your team is defeated. Another mode however has you protecting 4 relics from being taken away by ghosts until time runs out. Another mode has you destroying ghost spawn points. You can play these multiplayer missions on their own or you can play a campaign which has you playing 3 different missions one after the other. I was very skeptical of the multiplayer mode, but after playing it I found myself really enjoying it. It really does give the game a breath of fresh air after you've completed the campaign mode and it gives you a chance to check out other player's crazy ghost capturing techniques. If you feel the storyline doesn't carry the campaign mode for you, you can probably find a breath of fresh air playing with other people in smaller gameplay bursts.
One more thing I have to mention. The game does a great job at giving you a creepy atmosphere that you normally don't find out of games like Residen Evil and Silent Hill. While you won't find any pyramid heads doing questionable activities with mannequins, you will find yourself at the receiving end of some cheap scares. It took me by surprise, because the movie, while having to do with ghosts, was never really scary.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game definitely does one thing right. It completely caters to the Ghostbusters fanboy crowd. With anything involving fandom, many hardcore fans may be able to ignore the shortcomings of the game, but those who don't quote Ghostbusters in every day life may find it hard to ignore them. Take away all the big name actors and the story and you have what feels like a fresh third person shooter with new mechanics, but eventually falls into a repetitious trap. For most people I would say this game is a solid rental. You'll enjoy the experience and you'll also enjoy that you didn't pay full retail price for it.

We cannot longer be ignoring Bing as a major competitor in the search market, at least when we are looking at the US that is. According to Hitwise Bing now has over 30% market share there.
In the last month Bing gained almost 2% market share growing from 28.48% in February to 30.01% in March. It's rival Google lost about the same share and went from 66.69% to 64.42%. Bing's partner in crime Yahoo also so a rise: Yahoo powered searches went from 14.99% to 15.69%.
We have to be careful with the numbers. Bing definitely is growing, and strongly, but the 30% is for Bing powered search, which means for example the searches within MSN, in toolbars, Yahoo, etcetera. Bing.com itself now account for 14.32%. So if you look at the stat below be sure to remember that. Still, Bing's growth is good and the "alliance" certainly has the effect of becoming a real competitor.
Bing overtaking Google?
Is this the beginning of the end for Google? Is Bing going to catch them? Mashable made an interesting chart suggesting that Bing might catch up with Google in 2012. It will probably not go that fast, but the rise is interesting enough to keep an eye on.
Search queries
Hitwise also looked at the search queries. Surprisingly enough the "One Word" search seems to be back, more people are searching for just one word, which can be seen by the 2% rise in one word searches. Two and three words are also still very much searched for, while the longer sentences clearly see a decrease. Chances are these are consequences of for example Google Instant.

Louis Tomlinson and Danielle Campbell have taken their rumored romance across the pond!
The One Direction boy-bander and The Originals star were spotted together again this week, partying in London. Louis, 24, looked very low-key in black jeans and an Adidas sweatshirt, while Danielle, 20, was dolled up in a short leather skirt, white crop top and gray sweater-coat.
This, of course, isn't the first time Louis and Danielle have enjoyed each other's company. Earlier this month Louis was "all over" Danielle at Hollywood hot spot Millions of Milkshakes, and they caught up again at an ice cream parlor in Chicago called Oberweis.

Murder and Mounting Mystery in the North Carolina Mountains
The mystery behind a mountain murder case in North Carolina has only intensified for some despite the fact that a man long suspected in another disappearance is behind bars, awaiting trial for the March crime.
J.T. Codd , 45, worked as a grip in the film industry on movies such Terminator: Genysis and McFarland, USA. Cristie Schoen, 38, was a contestant on Food Network Star in 2012 and a film-set caterer who ran Tree Hugger Catering with her former fiancé, Dirk Long.
The pair bought a house on 36 acres of land at 87 Hookers Gap Road in Leicester, N.C., with the intent of starting a hydroponic farm. They married in October, and Cristie was five months pregnant at the time of the couple's disappearance. Friends of J.T. Codd who talked to PJM characterized the relationship as troubled; others who knew the couple have given a positive opinion of the relationship to various media outlets.
On Monday, March 9, J.T. withdrew more than $40,000 from the bank. The next day he was supposed to meet a local real estate agent and friend, George Lycan, but canceled via text message. He rescheduled to meet Lycan at 5 p.m. the next day for beers yet never showed up.
That same day, Wednesday, March 11, Cristie was reportedly witnessed in the house – along with a contractor who had been working on the property, Robert Jason Owens, 37 – by pest-control technicians who came to the property for a regularly scheduled appointment.
On Thursday, March 12, Lycan received a text from Cristie's phone: "Sorry. We both have this stomach flu. Throwing up and such. We both have just been trying to sleep it off."
According to Buncombe County Sheriff's Office search warrants, Cristie's father, Bill Schoen, called the department at 3:23 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, to request a welfare check for his daughter, who was supposed to arrive in Mississippi by 4 p.m. that day. "Bill Schoen advised that he has not had contact with his daughter and that is not normal for him not to have contact with his daughter," the warrant states. "Schoen advised that his wife did speak with Cristie Codd on 3/14/15."
Deputies went to the residence and the door was opened for them by neighbor Cecilia Owens, an aunt of Jason Owens by marriage. Long reportedly arrived on the scene around this time.
They found the couple's dogs "unattended"; they'd gone to the bathroom in the house. The warrant states that deputies found "a medicine cabinet open inside the residence with band aids removed." Cristie Schoen's purse and J.T. Codd's wallet were inside the home.
A check of the couple's cell phone records found multiple text messages from J.T.'s phone to Jason Owens' phone. At 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, Owens "was observed dumping large garbage bags into a dumpster." These reportedly included personal effects such as Cristie's identification and a pot card.
Detectives interviewed Owens, "who admitted to going into the residence… and stealing the items." They obtained a warrant to search his residence, a nearby property with single-wide and double-wide mobile homes. Items seized in the search included photos, computers, three flash drives, a saw blade, 11 knives, an extension cord, and "debris" from the wood stove and yard, later determined to be human remains. Owens was arrested on Monday, March 16.
Owens' wife, Samantha, told detectives that her husband was driving a Dodge pickup belonging to J.T. Codd when he struck and killed him. That truck was still on the Codds' property, and taken into evidence. The warrants noted the presence of the pickup and two other cars, but said nothing about any signs of damage or other evidence.
On March 20, a suspicious fire on Owens' property destroyed the trailer with the wood stove where remains had been found. Eleven days later, sheriff's officials were back at the 1.4-acre property searching for evidence with a team of Western Carolina University criminal justice students. The very next day, there was another fire on the property – a downed power line, a family member said.
Owens has been indicted on two counts of armed robbery, two counts of dismemberment, and three counts of murder (the Codds and their unborn child). The grand jury found that Owens was "knowingly and willingly dismembering or destroying human remains" to conceal evidence while knowing that the Codds "did not die of natural causes." No motive has been revealed, and the indictment says he committed the crime "by means of an assault consisting of having in his possession and threatening the use of a dangerous weapon, to wit: a kitchen knife approximately ten inches in length, and/or a motor vehicle, and/or a firearm."
The indictment says Owens stole jewelry, a handgun and a computer from Cristie, and a backpack from J.T. The search warrant from the deputies' original sweep of the Codds' home showed that they found an iPad, tablet computer, revolver, "3 gun cases and contents," ammunition, and a ring untouched. One source said the ring was found on the floor, but accounts vary widely of how the crime scene otherwise looked. Deputies did remove two pieces of carpet, swabbings and a spray bottle, according to the warrant.
In mid-April, a sizable coalition of J.T. Codd's friends wrote to North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper with concerns about how the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department was handling the investigation. "Many of us have visited Cristie and JT in North Carolina and we believe that we have information and observations that might prove helpful to the investigation of the brutal murder of their family," they wrote in the letter provided to PJM. "Thus far, Sherriff [Van] Duncan and his staff have not returned any of our telephone calls or inquiries; they have not spoken with persons outside of North Carolina, Leicester County, in particular."

10 Best Halloween Costume Tips, Hacks, Tricks & Treats
from Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's Costumers and Designers
The costumes will be over-the-top fabulous when the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company presents ShakesFEAR, a Halloween Costume Party and Contest on October 23, to celebrate the Opening Night of Shakespeare's horror play, Titus Andronicus. Professional theater artists and designers are coming to the party. (That's so unfair!) To even the playing field, we asked Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's costumers, wig designers, special effects designers, and prop masters to share their best Halloween tricks of the trade. Get ready to scare …or be scared!
10 Best Halloween Costume Tips, Hacks, Tricks & Treats
DEATH is DELICIOUS Here is an easy recipe for stage blood to make at home using store-bought ingredients: Mix equal parts Karo syrup and chocolate syrup. Add 1 tablespoon of flour for each cup of the combined liquids. Add red food coloring (make it as red as you like.) "I prefer less red and more brownish from the chocolate," says Mindy Braden, Props Designer for Titus Andronicus, and Resident Technical and Design Company Member at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company. If you want to get really gross (like someone's cut your tongue out), she says, add a couple of tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter. It looks really nasty and tastes like peanut butter cups.
KITCHEN WIZARDRY Take a look at everyday objects from another perspective, says Kristina Lambdin, Resident Costume Designer at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company. Plastic spoons can become scale armor. Cut off the handles, paint the spoon tops silver, and hot glue them to a T-shirt. Not battle-worthy, but trick-or-treat worthy! Last year, Kristina sewed glittering beetle wings on a jacket for the fairy king Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. (Hint: Painted press-on nails can achieve a similar effect.
I VANT TO BITE YOU It's just not sexy or scary if your fangs keep falling out. When Chesapeake Shakespeare Company performed Dracula, Mindy's best source for fangs was Vampfangs.com.
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT Incorporate glow sticks or battery-powered lights in your costume to turn it up a notch, Kristina says. In Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's upcoming production of A Christmas Carol (Dec. 4 – Dec. 23), the Ghost of Christmas Past wears a white gown that glows with tiny battery-powered lights sewn into the skirts.
BEHIND THE MASK Consider the scale and proportions of your costume, says Chester Stacy, of Chester Creates LLC, who has created set and special effects for Titus Andronicus and A Christmas Carol. He created the head of Jack Skellington by covering a beach ball with papier mache. "By using a construction helmet mounted low inside the papier mache ball, I look through the mouth — and 'grow' 10 inches taller," Chester says. He bolted shoes to 7-inch wooden blocks to grow taller still, and added a thrift-shop tuxedo. "Interpreting a familiar character accurately means getting proportion right and then adding details where they will make the most impact," he says.
BEST FOOT FORWARD Don't forget the importance of accessories, Kristina says. Shoes can make a big impact, so try painting a pair to coordinate with your costume. She uses Angelus brand acrylic shoe paints.
SCARY HAIRY For Titus Andronicus, our scariest actors shaved their heads. There's another way you can save money on Halloween hair: Refresh last year's costume wig instead of buying a new one. Comb out the wig, and separate the hairs into sections. Braid, tie, or sew in ribbons, or fake ivy, or toy snakes to achieve a new look. Want to add color? Haley Raines Young, Wig and Makeup Designer, says many polyester costume wigs can be enhanced with floral spray paint (a specialty aerosol spray paint used on silk flowers and available at craft and fabric stores). Style or shape the wig first, then spray paint as a final step to add color and help hold the style. Remember to follow manufacturers' instructions, give the wig time to dry, and avoid open flames such as cigarettes and candles — spray paints are flammable. Haley created the amazing wigs used in Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's production of The Comedy of Errors this past summer.
BEST DRESSED ZOMBIE For quick-and-dirty zombie costumes, here are tips from Kristina and Haley: Take an old shirt and pants and rough them up using sandpaper and a cheese grater (fashion clothiers call this look "distressed"). Then give the clothes a patina of blood, mold, and dirt using a spray bottle filled with food coloring. Smear on your fake blood.
ADD SOUND EFFECTS Empty a small plastic bottle of drinking water. (Deer Park is preferred. Yes, several brands were tested for this, very scientifically.) Place the empty bottle under your armpit. You can hide it with a shirt, cloak, or shawl. Now, as you pretend to break your neck (or someone else's), crush the bottle between your arm and your side to achieve the sound of bone and cartilage snapping. For this gem, we thank Chris Niebling, the Violence Choreographer for Titus Andronicus and Co-Artistic Director of Live Action Theater.
SPLAT! Why stop at zombie blood? Here's a recipe for Zombie Brains, from Jacy Barber, who is the Costume Designer for Titus Andronicus and a theatrical artist specializing in costume, puppet, and object design. In a small bowl, gently blend a mashed ripe banana, a packet of instant oatmeal, and a little bit of water, just enough to give the oatmeal lumpy but not liquid texture. Pour stage blood over this, and fold it together lightly — don't stir too much. Now you can spill your brains on the table, or let it ooze from fake gunshot wounds or head injuries. Jacy says that she has used a slingshot to hurl brain-splatter against a wall or tree, but let's leave that to the professionals.
Happy Halloween!
ShakesFEAR is Chesapeake Shakespeare Company's Halloween Costume Party celebrating the Opening Night for Titus Andronicus, William Shakespeare's horror play for the Halloween season, October 23 – November 15, 2015.
Tickets to the Opening Night performance at 8pm on October 23 include free admission to the costume party, which follows immediately after the show. Ticket holders are invited to wear their costumes to the Opening Night. (Please check your headgear at the cloak room so you don't obstruct other patrons' view of the stage.)
Adults: $19-$49. Students: $15-$25. Mature content: Not recommended for children.

Dioxins and their effects on human health
Fact sheet N°225
World Health Organization May 2010
Key Facts
- Dioxins are a group of chemically-related compounds that are persistent environmental pollutants.
- Dioxins are found throughout the world in the environment and they accumulate in the food chain, mainly in the fatty tissue of animals.
- More than 90% of human exposure is through food, mainly meat and dairy products, fish and shellfish. Many national authorities have programmes in place to monitor the food supply.
- Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.
- Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, all people have background exposure, which is not expected to affect human health. However, due to the highly toxic potential of this class of compounds, efforts need to be undertaken to reduce current background exposure.
- Prevention or reduction of human exposure is best done via source-directed measures, i.e. strict control of industrial processes to reduce formation of dioxins as much as possible.
Dioxins are environmental pollutants. They have the dubious distinction of belonging to the "dirty dozen" – a group of dangerous chemicals known as persistent organic pollutants. Dioxins are of concern because of their highly toxic potential. Experiments have shown they affect a number of organs and systems. Once dioxins have entered the body, they endure a long time because of their chemical stability and their ability to be absorbed by fat tissue, where they are then stored in the body. Their half-life in the body is estimated to be seven to eleven years. In the environment, dioxins tend to accumulate in the food chain. The higher in the animal food chain one goes, the higher the concentration of dioxins.
The chemical name for dioxin is: 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo para dioxin (TCDD). The name "dioxins" is often used for the family of structurally and chemically related polychlorinated dibenzo para dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Certain dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with similar toxic properties are also included under the term "dioxins". Some 419 types of dioxin-related compounds have been identified but only about 30 of these are considered to have significant toxicity, with TCDD being the most toxic.
Sources of dioxin contamination
Dioxins are mainly by products of industrial processes but can also result from natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Dioxins are unwanted by products of a wide range of manufacturing processes including smelting, chlorine bleaching of paper pulp and the manufacturing of some herbicides and pesticides. In terms of dioxin release into the environment, uncontrolled waste incinerators (solid waste and hospital waste) are often the worst culprits, due to incomplete burning. Technology is available that allows for controlled waste incineration with low emissions.
Although formation of dioxins is local, environmental distribution is global. Dioxins are found throughout the world in the environment. The highest levels of these compounds are found in some soils, sediments and food, especially dairy products, meat, fish and shellfish. Very low levels are found in plants, water and air.
Extensive stores of PCB-based waste industrial oils, many with high levels of PCDFs, exist throughout the world. Long-term storage and improper disposal of this material may result in dioxin release into the environment and the contamination of human and animal food supplies. PCB-based waste is not easily disposed of without contamination of the environment and human populations. Such material needs to be treated as hazardous waste and is best destroyed by high temperature incineration.
Dioxin contamination incidents
Many countries monitor their food supply for dioxins. This has led to early detection of contamination and has often prevented impact on a larger scale. One example is the detection of increased dioxin levels in milk in 2004 in the Netherlands, traced to a clay used in the production of the animal feed. In another incident, elevated dioxin levels were detected in animal feed in the Netherlands in 2006 and the source was identified as contaminated fat used in the production of the feed.
Some dioxin contamination events have been more significant, with broader implications in many countries.
In late 2008, Ireland recalled many tons of pork meat and pork products when up to 200 times more dioxins than the safe limit were detected in samples of pork. This finding led to one of the largest food recalls related to a chemical contamination. Risk assessments performed by Ireland indicated no public health concern. The contamination was traced back to contaminated feed.
In July 2007, the European Commission issued a health warning to its Member States after high levels of dioxins were detected in a food additive – guar gum – used as thickener in small quantities in meat, dairy, dessert or delicatessen products. The source was traced to guar gum from India that was contaminated with pentachlorophenol (PCP), a pesticide no longer in use. PCP contains dioxins as contamination.
In 1999, high levels of dioxins were found in poultry and eggs from Belgium. Subsequently, dioxin-contaminated animal-based food (poultry, eggs, pork), were detected in several other countries. The cause was traced to animal feed contaminated with illegally disposed PCB-based waste industrial oil.
In March 1998, high levels of dioxins in milk sold in Germany were traced to citrus pulp pellets used as animal feed exported from Brazil. The investigation resulted in a ban on all citrus pulp imports to the EU from Brazil.
Another case of dioxin contamination of food occurred in the United States of America in 1997. Chickens, eggs, and catfish were contaminated with dioxins when a tainted ingredient (bentonite clay, sometimes called "ball clay") was used in the manufacture of animal feed. The contaminated clay was traced to a bentonite mine. As there was no evidence that hazardous waste was buried at the mine, investigators speculate that the source of dioxins may be natural, perhaps due to a prehistoric forest fire.
Large amounts of dioxins were released in a serious accident at a chemical factory in Seveso, Italy, in 1976. A cloud of toxic chemicals, including 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD, was released into the air and eventually contaminated an area of 15 square kilometres where 37 000 people lived. Extensive studies in the affected population are continuing to determine the long-term human health effects from this incident. These investigations, however, are hampered by the lack of appropriate exposure assessments. A minor increase in certain cancers and effects on reproduction have been detected and are being further investigated. Possible effects on the children of exposed people are currently being studied.
TCDD has also been extensively studied for health effects linked to its presence as a contaminant in some batches of the herbicide Agent Orange, which was used as a defoliant during the Vietnam War. A link to certain types of cancers and also to diabetes is still being investigated.
Earlier incidents of food contamination have been reported in other parts of the world. Although all countries can be affected, most contamination cases have been reported in industrialized countries where adequate food contamination monitoring, greater awareness of the hazard and better regulatory controls are available for the detection of dioxin problems.
A few cases of intentional human poisoning have also been reported. The most notable incident is the 2004 case of Viktor Yushchenko, President of the Ukraine, whose face was disfigured by chloracne.
Effects of dioxins on human health
Short-term exposure of humans to high levels of dioxins may result in skin lesions, such as chloracne and patchy darkening of the skin, and altered liver function. Long-term exposure is linked to impairment of the immune system, the developing nervous system, the endocrine system and reproductive functions. Chronic exposure of animals to dioxins has resulted in several types of cancer. TCDD was evaluated by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 1997. Based on animal data and on human epidemiology data, TCDD was classified by IARC as a "known human carcinogen". However, TCDD does not affect genetic material and there is a level of exposure below which cancer risk would be negligible.
Due to the omnipresence of dioxins, all people have background exposure and a certain level of dioxins in the body, leading to the so-called body burden. Current normal background exposure is not expected to affect human health on average. However, due to the high toxic potential of this class of compounds, efforts need to be undertaken to reduce current background exposure.
Sensitive subgroups
The developing fetus is most sensitive to dioxin exposure. The newborn, with rapidly developing organ systems, may also be more vulnerable to certain effects. Some individuals or groups of individuals may be exposed to higher levels of dioxins because of their diets (e.g., high consumers of fish in certain parts of the world) or their occupations (e.g., workers in the pulp and paper industry, in incineration plants and at hazardous waste sites, to name just a few).

It was recently, and rightly, pointed out that there is scarce information in the blogosphere about the sexual and intimacy issues that so often arise during, after, as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis and/or treatment. And even fewer places to discuss it frankly and openly. It was a point well taken.
Brenda had a post a number of months back: What Your Oncologist Doesn't Tell You About Sex, but I've seen little else on the subject. And if our oncologists can't acknowledge that breast cancer impacts our sex lives, who are we to bring it up? I mean, it's probably just "me" that's having an issue, right? WRONG
While I would argue that we, Americans, are fairly uptight about sex, the fact is that the group of breast cancer bloggers I've come to know are a pretty outspoken bunch, and seem to fear almost nothing. And yet we still don't really talk about sex…
It is entirely possible that none of us have had any "sexual side effects" from the physical and emotional onslaught of cancer, but I don't think so. Just for fun, please take the ANONYMOUS poll below, and let's see just how many of us have or do feel that breast cancer effects our love life.
Talking about WHY there is so little discussion about sex and breast cancer is still not really talking about it, of course. So here goes:
There are so many areas of our sexuality impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis, and in the throes of diagnosis, decision-making and treatment, sex tends to end up as a not-so-significant priority. And I think many of us get that, as do our partners. But I would argue that something very important is lost: not just sex, but intimacy. No matter your stage, histology, prognosis, etc, the first few weeks after being diagnosed typically FEELS life-threatening. I remember being able to do little beyond sitting at the computer researching and crying. I was so consumed with this "death sentence" that I didn't know how to reach out to my husband…either to reassure him, or to be reassured by him. This was happening to ME, not to us. And I was wrong. Yes, I know its natural and that the decisions I had to make were critical and time-sensitive. He knew that too. But the opportunity to connect with one another, to recognize that OUR lives were changing in profound ways was lost.
Treatment. During treatment I was far too sick to think about sex. But I missed the boat here too; I'm pretty sure it wasn't about the sex for either of us; it was about intimacy, connection. I'm not saying there wasn't intimacy, but rather than pulling away I could have been more open to letting him in closer, if for no other reason than needing the kind of support and reassurance only a partner can provide, and he probably needed that reassurance too. But being thrown into premature menopause can be overwhelming, and when you're focused on taking the antiemetics, getting enough sleep, rearranging schedules…when getting to the market or picking up the kids is sometimes more than we can handle…it's hard to put intimacy on the "to do" list, especially if we fail to see how much WE as patients need it!
Surgery. There is so much more wrapped up in breast surgery than we can possibly realize when we are deciding, scheduling, planning. I recall being so focused, understandably, on getting the cancer out of my body, that it was hard to realize what else is being lost, especially having had bilateral mastectomies. I was being disfigured, amputated. The part of me bound inextricably with the first signs of my journey to womanhood, with sexual pleasure, with intimacy, with nurturing my son…was diseased, deadly, and being summarily cut off. I'm not sure it was possible to foresee the impact this would have (and neither, I think, could my husband). Even after reconstruction, my breasts had gone from erotic to an on-going reminder of cancer.
Menopause. It started with treatment inducing a chemical menopause. At 35 that was hard to take. Sure, I could have been more proactive…sought advice from doctors, more medications, more interventions. But I just didn't want to. I was tired of doctors and chemicals. So I just dealt with it. I dealt with the pain, tried to hold back the tears and, as so many women do, "do it for my husband." Oh, and the hot flashes! Having to stop everything to cool down, at risk of losing the mood, which was often pretty darn hard to find in the first place. At least until my periods came back, and then…
Birth control. Birth control pills are often the first things to go after a breast cancer diagnosis. Last thing we need is more estrogen! IUDs contain hormones as well. And with challenges like vaginal dryness and thinning membranes thanks to chemo and drugs like tamoxifen, condoms can be problematic. Then, remember, after my periods came back, I remember being terrified that I might get pregnant and the incredible fears about the amount/impact of those hormones on my system. So unless you feel great about barrier methods or one of you is willing to have surgery, there is incredible fear and anxiety over intercourse…and that's not really good for your sex life.
Endless challenges…my experiences alone, but I am sure there are other challenges that women experience every day. From wanting to just forget any of it happened and being utterly unable to do so, to finding it hard to be "in the mood," to feeling inadequate, to wondering if your partner finds you "ugly," to finding a partner if you're single. I would bet the list is endless.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the most heartbreaking impacts of breast cancer is not just the impact on our sex lives, but the intimacy that comes with it. We are still sexual beings, and there is no reason that our sexuality should die because of breast cancer, nor should we deny ourselves other earthly pleasures because of a diagnosis. We'd never give up chocolate, right?
If you've blogged on the subject and I missed it, my apologies. PLEASE add your link in the comments! In general, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. I think they can help everyone, if for no other reason than to know none of us are alone in this. Please consider sharing where you've been and what you've found to be helpful. Feel free to post anonymously if that is more comfortable for you, but let's lift the sense of "shame" and start helping one another!

I have been brooding over writing this topic for awhile now.
This is something sensitive no one would want to talk about, and most choose to keep it deep within. It had taken me years and years and years to get to this point to say – I am ready to step forward and share my story.
I Was A Victim of Depression
I was diagnosed with depression about 8 years ago, in 2009.
There were many components – but mainly one – as to why I fell into such deep tenebrosity. And as if depression is not enough for me to take, anxiety disorders have creeped on in as well.
I have gone through darkness that was way too overwhelming. There were people who care, there were people who were (and still always are) there for me – especially my Mom.
But I was alone.
No one knows what I was going through within. No one understands. I allowed myself to fall into seclusion. I want to be alone, but I was afraid.
Feelings of emptiness left me in deep torment.
I penned some of my thoughts and feelings during dismal days – days when I felt lost in complete darkness, days when depression had me in a chokehold.
And I want to share them with you.
It is emptiness. It is nothingness. No one just has it. You suffer from it.
Your whole body crumbles and fall apart, lost anything that had been holding it together. That raw fragility. The smallest disruption in life, in head, or in the world, could send everything spiraling downwards.
And it can.
You anticipate the bad times, because you know the good times are just fooling you. They are filled with fear and anxiety with thoughts on the possibility of having everything crashing down again. You await the next breakdown. Happiness becomes a foreign feeling you will not let yourself experience. You become numb. You speak without words, you scream without a voice.
It could be much easier when you can see an end to it all, but it's almost always near impossible to. It strips you of any hope you used to have. And without hope, there is no reason to fight.
You want to give up.
Thoughts Of Darkness
It came a day I was at depth of suicidality.
There had been times I wanted so much to give up on myself, but I hung on.
However, from time to time, I sank into a mental stupor inadvertently and it was beyond my control – only to find out after – that I have hurt myself in the state of stupefaction.
I was ashamed.
Getting Out Of Depression
It wasn't easy getting out of depression.
I managed to pull myself out of this depth with the aid of therapy (years and years and years of it), medications, and a strong supporting family. Not forgetting the man who dropped everything – and I literally meant everything – to take care of me. And my bestie who has been with me all these while, never ever once gives up on me. They are the pillars in my life.
I wouldn't say I have now fully come out of it – because you never will – but apart from small episodes now and then, things have been going on well thus far. There can be factors in life – however big or small – and it can be anything, anywhere, anytime, to trigger a relapse of depression. Right now I am somewhat going through a tad gray period – it comes and goes with no apparent reason – but I know this time, even with a known bumpy journey ahead, I am confident in defeating it. I have beaten it once, and I can do it again.
I hope for those of you out there who have been through are getting on well, and for those who are still dealing with depression, that you will get through this – no matter how tough it gets.
Believe that things can – and will – get better.
I am your living example.
Helping Someone With Depression
To those of you who have family, friends or someone you know who are suffering from depression, please know that a simple gesture to reach out and help means everything to them. Your support and encouragement plays an important role in his or her recovery.
There may be times you experience difficult emotions, including helplessness, frustration, anger, fear, guilt, and even sadness. These feelings are inevitable. It is not easy to deal with someone who has depression. But please, please always remember to be patient with them, no matter how absurd they get. When you feel tired, please never ever give up on them. Understand that the frustrations they are planting on you is never intentional.
The patience and emotional strength that you give provides great support for that someone in need – more than you ever know. Your effort is very much appreciated of – even if they never really show it.
And I am saying this from my true personal experience.
Stay strong for your loved ones, because we need you.
Thank you loves, for taking the time to read.

What would you do if you were dying? Really dying. If you knew that it wouldn't be long; that you needed to prepare for afterwards?
In the last couple of weeks she's begun to think about this despite the fact that there isn't really anyone else. Yet the backdrop of bookshelves stuffed full of records, the posters and pictures on the walls crinkled in the heat of the South Australian summer and all those notes pressed into vinyl, remain important to her.
On Wednesday, under the shade of a not-quite-grown tree in Rundle Mall, she decides to sit down and find the one. She knows she will know when she sees them but for now the crowds bear only teens in crop tops and hurried office workers on their lunch break. She isn't worried though. She is sure they will come.
In the beginning she didn't think about dying either. For a while she dutifully continued to eat sandwiches in the staff room at lunchtime and tried to ignore the tumour she knew was growing inside her. When it spread to her bones she knew she had to come home for good.
At home she started to listen to her records again and think about what the ending might look like. She felt like she was walking in a tunnel but the light was behind her. There were only a few meters in front of her now and in the dark she could never quite make out where the path ended. The music helped with that.
She listened to the Beatles and remembered seeing them play in Adelaide in 1964 when she had a bowl haircut and long white socks and was barely a person yet. She remembered screaming so much that she couldn't speak for days afterwards even though she wanted to tell the poster of Ringo on her wall how terribly beautiful he was to her (then and always).
She listened to Bowie and remembered painting her face like Ziggy Stardust and teasing her hair as high as it would go and then having to scrub the red remnants from her skin (her face was red for days). She remembers the air thick with weed and sweat and how she felt so compelled to move in a way that her body will not let her now.
In amongst thoughts of dying she also thinks a lot about how music stops time and that when she closes her eyes she can still feel his breath on her skin and what it was like to be 19 and unsure (and also full of hope). Occasionally she thinks about those that have grown old with her until they too have dropped off one by one leaving her wondering what any of this was for.
But in the mall, under this baby tree she knows that it means something.
Three hours into avoiding the sun she notices a girl with purple hair, Doc Martens and a picture of David Bowie on her t-shirt. She calls out to the girl and asks her to come over. Patting the seat next to her she asks the girl if she likes music. The girl is unsure at first.
But then the girl starts to talk and her eyes sparkle when she starts to speak about how much music matters to her and how it makes her feel like anything is possible. The girl tells her about Bowie and what he means to her (he is gone now too) and tells her how he always made her feel like it was perfectly ok to be not like the others. The girl explains how music makes her feel better and safer and bolder and connected and able to be.
She gives the girl a small piece of paper with a phone number and address and tells her to get in touch.
Over the next two weeks she packs up her collection of vinyl and books and posters and puts them in boxes. She carefully pulls her frames from the walls and wraps them in bubble wrap. She pats each book lovingly as she stacks them in cardboard, remembering how she saved for the excitement of opening each one and breathing in the scent of their pages.
When the girl arrives she is with her mother. She takes them to the boxes neatly stacked in the corner, their content catalogued and labeled and tells the girl that she wants her to have all of it.The girl and her mother are both awkward and the girl keeps smoothing her skirt over her knees and asking whether she is sure.
But she has been thinking about dying a lot. She knows her memories belong there. That this is where they will be loved like she loved them. She tells the girl 'of course' and not to worry because she knew the minute she saw her that she was the one.
