madhuraparab Started The Discussion:
Hello Sir,
If any employrr is absent for complete month & earned " 0" sal. for that month do we need to pay his contribution of MLWF?
If Yes, then from where we will have to pay kindly guide?Pls reply urgently.
I believe Mumbai Labour Welfare Fund Act does not speaks about the MONTH/salary he earns but it speaks about the Employee on muster-rolls as on December of the year. Thus MLWF is payable. I'm not aware of MLWF Act but is should be similar to the one applied in my state.
madhuraparab - Member Since: Aug 2008
But if that staff is not present for Single day in that particular month , then who will going to pay his part of contribution? Pls help me urgetly. Regards, Madhura
1) LWF has to be paid for all the employee who has worked for atleast 30days in the calendar year irrespective of whether he is dismissed, discharge or has resigned from service.
2) The employer is authorized to deduct the employee contributions from his salary.
3) If the employer employer through inadvertence or otherwise had no deducted, it can be made from the wages of such employee for any subsequent month with the permission in wirting to inspector appointed.
4) Deduction from wages as enshrined in "Payment of Wages Act" has to made.

Feras Founder Cleared of Price-fixing Charges
Evo Jet Services founder Chris Cartwright has confirmed that his 2008 conviction for alleged price fixing in U.S. government fuel contracts was overturned by the U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Sept. 28, 2011. Cartwright and his business partner Paul Wilkinson were arrested in January 2008, while running Far East Russia Aircraft Services (Feras). The successful motion to vacate Cartwright's conviction came 15 months after the U.S. Department of Justice had dismissed charges against Feras itself. The court ruled that while Cartwright may have been responsible for hiring a consultant with a conflict of interest in the fuel trading contracts, no crime had been committed because the dealings did not involve bribery or kickbacks. Wilkinson's conviction could not be vacated because he had entered a plea bargain. According to Cartwright, in August 2011, he and Wilkinson separately settled an ongoing civil dispute with Universal Weather & Aviation, the flight support group that had previously been partnered with Feras. "This draws a line under the case and means that we can move on unimpeded by litigation," Cartwright told AIN. He said that in the past three years Evo has grown to being around one third the size of Feras and is now looking to expand flight-planning and handling support operations in Asia and Eastern Europe.

Choi Chul Ho and Oh Ji Ho "sweat it out" in K drama Queen of Housewives
Choi Chul Ho and Oh Ji Ho "sweat it out" in K drama Queen of Housewives
Unemployed Romance
the thirst of this one is strong
"It's such a relief for me to have met you. You're such a comfort to me."
Do not forgive this foolish wretch, who only realized the preciousness of a thing only once it was lost...
All you have to do is leave things as they are, and they'll come back around to where they should be.
""There was a time when the love that I belittle now, once controlled me."
The narration changes hands to Mu-yeon, as we flash back to her human past with Mu-young. What we see is that it wasn't just one life, but a series of lifetimes that they shared.
She says that when they were lovers, they loved each other madly, but could not have happiness. And then because their destiny ran so deep, they shared another life as siblings.
"Though time had changed and our names had changed, I loved you." And then another lifetime, as reaper and fairy—they meet again, and she loves him once more.
"I did not like life in heaven. We couldn't have love." She says that she found a way to go back down and live as people so that they could finally have love, but he turned her down. Oof, what a tragic life."
"I'm so fascinated by Mu-yeon's backstory, because it's a twist I didn't expect. You just think siblings are going to be siblings, but being fated to share a connection over multiple lifetimes, and starting out as two thwarted lovers – well that sheds a whole new light on everything, doesn't it? Even if she's not conscious of the past, she ends up repeating the same exact fate over and over, in loving him and losing him somehow. And if wanting to leave heaven was because of love, I don't know if I can blame her for that. If she's not supposed to have love, then why can she feel it? Obviously her choices once down below have corrupted and twisted her into something else entirely, but it's so interesting to know that the seed of it all was love." (x)

I feel like, due to the fact that it's been almost half a year since I've posted here, I should redirect those who are interested to my new account.
You can find my new personal blog here, as well as my spiritual/pagan blog, and fandom blogs (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, Once Upon a Time). I have several other sub-blogs as well, for various things. Links to them can be found on my personal blog.
In case anyone's wondering why I've disappeared from here, read on.
So I've been gone for the last two weeks. It's been… interesting. A little boring. I logged back in today. Glanced around, put a few things in my drafts (accidentally reblogged one) and such. And… I realized that I hate it.
Somehow my blog isn't my safe space anymore. I'm not sure how it happened, how my blog and my dash started to feel confining, pressing, distressing. But it does.
So instead of saying that I'm taking a break, I'm going to say that I'm leaving. I might be back. I certainly adore many of the people I follow. But for now, for the foreseeable future, I'm not going to be around. I still get notifications when I get asks, so you can get a hold of me that way. And if anyone (that I've previously chatted with) wants my email/AIM/Yahoo, just send an ask, I'll let you know.
I also started a new blog (starting fresh and all that) that's vastly different from the one I have here. Thus far it's goth/punk/steampunk/apocalyptic pretties. I guess it's the goth/punk version of hipster *snort* If anyone wants to know what it is, shoot me an ask and I'll send you the URL.
i fucking love fanfiction like it literally caters for every need, whether you're wanting 2k of cute couples snuggling on the sofa, a thing of epic length with an awesome plot or a piece of writing that is literally just pages of your favourite characters banging each other whoever invented fanfiction is my fave
The Claims
made regarding the "arrow to the knee" stock phrase from the Skyrim video game
So… apparently, the phrase "take an arrow to the knee" is old nordic slang for getting married.
The Findings
I have been at this for a solid three hours and have turned up absolutely nothing. I did learn a lot about women in viking society as a whole, and while they were generally held in relatively high regard for homemakers, it was unlikely that they were held so highly that men would see marriage as something "crippling" as the arrow-to-the-knee joke suggests (assuming, of course, that Skyrim is a historically accurate game that just also happens to have magic and dragons and werewolves and whatever else on the side).
Based on previous research into similarly dispersed urban legends, here's what I'm thinking happened: a funny, deadpan "what if" joke came into somebody's mind. "what if it's code for something?" From there, the joke morphed, and as it got passed along in the great global game of Telephone that are jokes and urban legends, someone misheard that "what if" and it became a "did you know." But the spread didn't stop there. It just kept going, because it made perfect sense — it's ridiculous to think that all these NPCs wound up being shot in the knee with arrows and it's a little world breaking in an otherwise extremely immersive game lauded for the work put into it. But it's easy to forget that the "arrow to the knee" phrase is no more or less common than any of the other stock NPC phrases seen throughout Skyrim, and that "arrow to the knee" was just that: a stock NPC phrase, and certainly not something that was ever said by Norse people historically.
Of course, this isn't to say that perhaps in the mythos of Skyrim, a land where magic exists and a human can be part-dragon and also a werewolf and shouting loud enough can knock someone unconscious, "taking an arrow to the knee" is used as slang by men and women to speak ill of their homemaking spouses while they yearn for the good old days of being adventurer like yourself. And just like that, you have another (or maybe your first?) head-canon.
IDK how casting Bagels Cucumbers as Khan isn't disrespectful to Gene Roddenberry tbh.
That man fought networks tooth and nail to have people of different races on his show. He fought long and hard to have an interracial kiss on TV.
My grandmother does not like Sci-Fi, but you better believe her ass was watching Star Trek, you know why? Because it was one of the few places you could see a black woman on TV. And she had an important job! She was important! She wasn't just in the background.
Shit, as fake and hokey as Chekov's accent was, he made sure there was a russian on the show, why? BECAUSE HIS VERSION OF THE FUTURE WAS ONE OF DIVERSITY AND PEOPLE GETTING ALONG KINDA SORTA.
(No I don't know about the dude doing the Blue Steel back there, I barely remember Enterprise it's boring)
"It's about the actors performance."
MAAAN, fuck that noise.
No, it's not, there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of actors out there of Indian descent. You're telling me that Binglebangle Coochiebutt was better than all of them? Show me the tapes, I gotta see that. Show me them auditions that I'm pretty sure they didn't even do because casting a white dude is easier than being not a bastard.
People of color already struggle when it comes to seeing ourselves in the media, and before you go "But he's a baaaad guy." No one is saying that PoC can't be cast as bad guys. It's that we're cast as the same kind of bad guys each and every fucking time. Mindless, one note, stereotypical.
Khan was different, he was smart, he was strong, he was cunning, he was layered. He garnered the respect of his enemies he was that fucking great. AND HE WAS BROWN. AWESOME SAUCE YEEEEEAAAAAH.
But nope, let's cast a white dude because who gives a shit about diversity. HAHAHAA WE HONOR U GENE RODDENBERRY BY WHITEWASHING.
P.S I'm just gonna link this cause shut up I do what i want.
sometimes when beckett looks at castle you can see it in her eyes that she's thinking about all the places his mouth and hands were just a few hours previously and how she'd really, really like them to be there again
She gets that look a lot. More at the precinct than out, tho. And more in the bullpen than interrogation (but sometimes in interrogation, too)
Stunning Stana. We don't know how she does it, but Stana Katic combines brains, brawn and beauty - and is still totally down-to-earth. Luckily the star of Castle is happy to share her secrets.
"I'm not a believer in balance," says Stana (pronounced STAH-na) Katic. "I know a lot of people who are philosophers and they sit by the river and talk about what that underwater world might look like. And I'll say, 'Dive in, man, and go and see it. Swim around. You'll be okay.'"
This carpe diem attitude explains why the 33-year-old'd resumé reads like it could be that of an M15 agent: She's skilled in fencing, scuba diving, archery, falconry and horseback riding, and she's studied martial arts. She's fluent in Serbian, French, English and Italian. She even learned Navy Seal knifing techniques for her rols as a Russian assassin in the 2008 film Stiletto.
Stana credits her spirit and wanderlust to her parents, immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, who came to North America with nothing. They moved to Hamilton, Ont., where Stana was born, and eventually settled in Chicago and "built an empire of sorts with their furniture business," she says. "They got my five siblings and me educated - piano, ballet, karate - well travelled and excited about the world. There was a level of respect for the planet in general. It was part of our upbringing."
That hasn't disappeared. Last summer Stana went on a two-week holiday to Mongolia, where she donned traditional clothes, learned a few words of Khalkha (the official language), slept in a yurt and rode a camel through the Gobi Desert. She loved the solitude. "It doesn't get a lot of tourists," she deadpans. That adventurous jaunt to Central Asia sums up Stana's personality: She isn't your cookie-cutter Hollywood type.
Her latest cause is the Alternative Travel Project. "California's supposed to be an eco-friendly state and we're doing a rotten job of it in L.A.," she says. Her ambition was to encourage viewers and fans of Castle to leave their cars at home and find other ways to commute. For seven days over a month, she walked 40 minutes, rode her bike or took public transit to the set in a city where people rarely travel anywhere by foot. "I was exercising while I was doing it. And I was engaging with the community, too!"
Stana says seeing the world through "Canadian eyeballs" helped cultivate her nonconformist attitude. In 1997, she enrolled at the University of Toronto in international relations, economics, and pre-law. "I thought I could save the world," she says. "What's promoted in the States is assimilation, whereas in Canada, it's multiculturalism," says Stana. "That mosaic mentality allows for an appreciation of an individual's culture and history." She tips her hat, too, to Canada's socialized health care and supports Obama's reforms to extend health-care insurance.
When it comes to the politics of her love life, though, the spicier topics are off limits. "I love to kiss, but I don't tell," she says, laughing. "Romance is difficult for some celebrities. If the media finds out you're dating Robert Pattinson, you're screwed." But she does admit that she's very committed to deep and substantive relationships. "I like the concept that if you're with someone, it's for the long term." Is she dating co-star Nathan Fillion? She won't tell - though the internet is awash with buzz about it. For now, she opts to keep us, and her three million viewers, guessing.

at monash university in melbourne the women's department had a bake sale and cupcakes were one dollar for men and eighty cents for women and seventy cents for trans* people to represent the wage gap and heaps of guys kicked off about it being sexist and that's how i finally understood how hypocritical and ignorant men's rights activism is
to be fair that is pretty darn sexist… why cant stuff just be EQUAL for everyone?
So I'm gonna take a break from Tumblr for a while. Possibly the internet as a whole. Queue's up for the next 4 or so days. Email and asks to get a hold of me. I'll check both at least once a day.

"I made it clear to the Republican members of the supercommittee that I expect there will be an outcome, that there has to be an outcome," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said at a Washington forum on Thursday. "The sequester that was built behind this is ugly, and it was meant to be ugly so that no one would go there. I don't underestimate how hard it's going to be to come to an agreement by the so-called supercommittee, but we have to get to one."
The across-the-board sequester, however, wouldn't take effect until the beginning of 2013, which is already fueling speculation that Congress would simply revisit the issue after the elections next year.

UPDATE 12 PM EST: ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Rodgers could miss up to three weeks as results from Rodgers original MRI show that he has a small fracture on his left collarbone.
Original Story 11 AM EST:
I've cautioned Eagles fans all year that we shouldn't hold our breath on staying in the NFC East race all year, despite how poor the division has turned out to be. Monday night, the Eagles may have caught a break that could allow them to climb back to .500 on Sunday and match the Cowboys amount of wins should they lose.
Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is arguably the best quarterback in the NFL, sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter of last night's 27-20 loss, when Bears defensive end Shea McClellin and cornerback Isaiah Frey combined to sack Rodgers. Rodgers landed hard on his left shoulder, which is his non-throwing shoulder, which forced him to leave the game and he did not return the rest of the night.
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the early prognosis on Rodgers' injury isn't good.
"It doesn't look good," A Packers source told ESPN's Ed Werder on Tuesday. "This is the one we couldn't afford to lose."
You can take this quote one of two ways. That Rodgers' injury doesn't look good and the Packers couldn't afford to lose to the Bears, or that Rodgers' injury doesn't look good and the Packers couldn't afford to lose him. I think the second interpretation is how the quote was meant.
Team doctors and head coach Mike McCarthy were hesitant to give any diagnosis on Rodgers, but they did say that Rodgers will undergo further tests today.
The same team source who gave the earlier quote that, "It doesn't look good", gave another quote that gave a very good indication on Rodgers' status Sunday against the Eagles.
When I asked if Rodgers could miss the rest of the regular season, the source said, "Possibly, but they need to see more."
Regardless of how the MRI turns out, Rodgers will likely need to miss at least a game or two. I'm not a doctor, but the way that this source makes things sound, you would think Rodgers will have an option between either having surgery or rehabbing the injured shoulder. My educated guess would be that Rodgers would sit out Sunday and make a push to play in two weeks, but I don't have any sources or doctors to back that, it's just my educated guess.
Should Rodgers not be able to play, Seneca Wallace will likely be the starter for the Packers. Wallace went 11/19 after replacing Rodgers last night, tossing one interception and zero touchdowns.

I have used only a few of these to make a mat outside the garage door onto my lanai. They were easy to put together, and are a great dirt catcher. With two dogs and a sandy yard, there is still tracking into the house, but it's much less now. The rough surface of the lanai has kept the 3ft. by 4ft. section in place - no slipping around, which is great for safety. The surface is not slippery to walk on, either, even after a rain. I am planning to use the rest to make a shower "floor" for an outdoor shower, also on the lanai. I may order more as I come up with uses for them. I like them that much. One suggestion - having some strips to finish the edges would make it look more completed. As it is, two sides look like I still have more to be added on.
Installed this over my entire ~1800 sq/ft concrete in-ground pool deck. It stretches fence-to-house-to-pool edge (with some space for heat expansion) as one completely uniform floating floor. Made my pool edge cuts (complex curve) and fence cuts (straight) with a scroll saw. Covered the rough edge pool cuts with slit soaker hose and secured with small plastic tie wraps through the tile drainage holes. Pros: 1. Cheaper than stripping and resurfacing per my estimates 2. Really nice uniform look over a varied surface slope. Space looks larger. Drains are covered, but still work. 3. Easy DIY install/maintenance/replacement 4. Great Non-slip Surface, especially in rain. 5. Dirt/Mud stays under tiles away from feet until flushed to drains by rain or hose. (No mud tracking during pool use). 6. Cooler on the feet. Can get real hot here. 7. Easy to cut and shape. Cons: 1. Picking a starting row for a continuously connected install is critical to the look you will get and the amount and types of cuts you will need to make - take care planning it and trialing it before committing with cuts. 2. Heat expansion can cause initially unpredictable temporary binding leading to temporary buckling. Can solve this by finding binding locations on edges of completed install when hot and relieving pressure by trimming with an electric multi-tool. 3. Plan for scrap when ordering. 4. I found the edge trim that goes with this to be useless for my application (few of my boundaries were square)
Overstock has hands down the best price for these block tiles, given the manufacture could price this product slightly lower. I recently covered my entire screen in patio and it took 6 box at 30 pieces per box to complete. It really stands out verse just painting, and that you would have to do as often as every year. I plan on doing my garage next in the gray rather than the brown I've used on my patio. It rained a few times since and within an hour the water drains or settles below making it a solid safety product.
I'm just curious to how these will winter. I love the look of them ,but if live in canada and it gets real cold here like -25 .I know this product is really durable , But scared they will get brittle over time being exposed to the elements .would love to here a review from someone that experienced a winter with them :) all The reviews are from warmer climates .
Great product. I purchased two boxes of these tiles to cover a condo balcony. Per our HOA rules we cannot put anything permanent (i.e. real tiles or paint) on the balcony so this product provided a great solution. Having holes allows water to drain when raining. The color is true to the picture. It is a bit brittle and pretty hard to walk on with bare feet. Overall, this is an inexpensive solution to nicely covering a patio, balcony, or garage floor. I especially like the option to taking apart the tiles if a future tenant requests.
Product looks great and easy to put together! We used it for our balcony and it took about 45 minutes to install 90 sq ft. It seems sturdy enough and looks really good. We are quite happy we did this.
Exactly what we were looking for to cover our decking that was in desperate need of refinishing. Must be .aid on a flat surface, but very easy and beautiful end result.
Was easy to put together and looks great. It was the perfect solution for our front porch.
I have recommended this to friends with condos in my building. It is perfect for our porches, about 5x9 in size. They are lightweight but strong, easy to install and to replace pieces later if needed. These tiles replaced the expensive wood ones that had lasted about 8 years. Replacemnet cost for those was about ***. These were a perfect solution. My 3 grandchildre, ages 5, 7 and 9 did the carrying up to the second floor and the entire installation. I observed and instructed. They loved doing it. I recommend them.
Several years ago, we had covered our cement patio with the wooden interlocking tiles. They looked nice at first but then the sun caused them to fade and we had to paint/stain them every year. This got old very quickly so we looked for another option. That is when we found the BlockTile Deck and Patio Flooring Interlocking Perforated Tiles. We originally purchased 11 boxes of the brown color and did the same area that we had covered with the wooden tiles. It looked so beautiful, we decided to purchase 9 more boxes and do the whole patio! We couldn't be happier with the results! It has a clean modern look and the best part is that other than sweeping it occasionally, no maintenance is required! The tiles have small holes so it isn't a smooth surface but I don't find it uncomfortable on bare feet. We have a patio cover so the tiles are somewhat protected by the sun and do not get hot. However, if not covered, the brown tiles could get a bit warm in the hot summer sun. I highly recommend these patio tiles to anyone who wants a quality tile and a modern clean look. They were very easy to install and are easily cut to fit. It took no time at all to install the tiles and transform our patio!

The rain slowed down just in time as Oakland kicker Sebastian Janikowski took the field in Denver just after 11 p.m. tonight.
The kicker made the best of it as time ran out in the first half. Janikowski was set to kick a field goal to extend the Raiders' lead.
What was unusual was the distance … 63 yards – a distance matched only twice before by Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam.
With his record-breaking kick, Janikowski matched Tom Brady and Chad Henne in the record books as the first weekend comes to a close. The New England and Miami quarterbacks combined to throw for 906 total yards … The most ever in a single NFL game.
Great way to conclude the league's first weekend.

What a great question — coming from LA, I was raised under the (fairly subconscious) impression that beautiful = skinny….until I got to Bennington and realized I was being force fed (oh ho ho) a bunch of crap. In fact, my creative thesis at Bennington concerns itself greatly with eating disorders, so I end up talking to a lot of people on campus about body image/self image. We don't necessarily have an official "support group" per se, but one of the defining factors of the Bennington social experience is the ability to actually "go there" about anything…truly anything…we *want* to have those conversations. So please come and talk up a storm…it's so important that we create a space where these issues can be voiced. It's up to us to reclaim our pride in our bodies and feel beautiful :)
— Parke '15
I just wanted to add that there are resources and support on campus currently with continued events and programming sponsored by the Bennington Wellness (BeWell) group on campus.
The Bennington College Wellness Peers (myself and three other students which continues to grow) welcome your questions and suggestions for programming, speakers, and services you'd like to see on campus. The Wellness Peers serve as wellness liaisons, referring and connecting students and administration. Again, just please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your input.
Chocolate, avocado, coconut, vegan/gluten free mousse!
-Selina '15
Alana reads out loud "Chocolate, avacado, coconut, vegan/gluten free mousse???" and then it continues:
"MMMmmm, yum" -Nina
"What? I don't know about the avocado." -Alana
"No! They are so good. They-" -Nina
"…it's used as a replacement for butter, right" -Naima
"Yeah, and they are so good because you don't taste the avocado much and you just get the richness of it." -Nina
"Wait! Pause. This is the most enthusiastic conversation this shift has ever had" -Alan
"Well, if I was to marry anything that wasn't a human, it would probably be an avocado…" -Nina***
****No, but seriously, Nina made ceramics inspired by avocados last year: http://nbrnstn.tumblr.com/
Write to me and escape! Let's do some matchmaking.
My name is Alan. I study ~~language and gender/sexuality~~ through playwriting and linguistics; so I've studied in education, playwriting, dramatic literature, psychology, Japanese, literature, um, bio twice? Most recently, this has resulted in an original play which I want to call "Trigger Warning: Catharsis" but I'm not gutsy enough so it is called "How Time Bombs Must Feel." I love the 70s — hence the pina colada song; Really, though, Fleetwood Mac and Harry Nilsson are the best. In high school I was engaged with school just enough to maintain a television addiction. My actual education was in Alias, Buffy, Star Trek (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY), Battlestar Galactica, The X-Files. But my absolute favorites are In Treatment, Six Feet Under and the Good Wife. I often channel Alica Florrick while making major life decisions. Life goals include seeing all of the 1001 movies you must see before you die, and visiting Tibet. I'm all about horror movies (I watch them whenever I'm depressed — everyone think I'm nuts for this). Email me about how strong female protagonists in television can inform YOUR college decision making process. Or if you have easy recipes that are convenient for the magic bullet. Tea drinker, playwright, scholar. Be my friend! email@example.com

Hey, I'm Ray. I'm headed into my senior work, my plan is in literature and conflict resolution, and it's all about how fiction affects people's thoughts on social and political issues. I'm also a huge history nerd. The biggest question in my life right now though is how soon I'll be able to get Dragon Age Inquisition to run on my Mac. Because my interest in that is… totally about studying how Bioware builds much-needed diversity into a regressive industry, and not at all about smashing things and kissing virtual girls. That's possibly the biggest lie I ever told. Email me if you like cool stories, feminism/queer stuff, smashing things, or… for completeness' sake I want to also put "kissing girls" but it might come off a little weird. Er. email@example.com
Hey, I'm late to the game on personal ads, but here we go…
My name is Alana and I like long walks on the beach and talking late into the night under the stars… just kidding (not really). I am a dancer who is interested in identity and community. When I am not in the dance studios, I could be found in a psychology or education class or outside enjoying nature. I have been recently picking up an old interest in fire spinning and continue to be amazed by the absolutely insane miracle that is the human experience! Email me to talk about your favorite loose leaf tea, your most used Pandora station, everything spirituality wise, anything sexuality,and all things polyamory :) firstname.lastname@example.com*
*whether my ad won you over or not, everyone should listen to my new favorite song/video that acted as my summer soundtrack:
Wow, I could talk for hours about this because I have asked myself this exact question.You are asking the right question and I applaud you for that. I would like to know a bit more about you so that I can be most useful in imagining how the dance program here could be helpful to you.
Before Bennington I was dancing 14-18 hours a week at a strictly technique-driven dance school. I was training in ballet, modern, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, break dancing. I came to Bennington and expanded that vocabulary with west african, tribal fusion bellydance, contact improvisation, emergent improvisation, and composition. I have learned to break down a lot of my own misconceptions of what dance "should" be and in doing so have been challenged to find my own vocabulary. I have various vocabularies in my body from previous training and Bennington gave me an outlet to figure out who I was as a dancer. I have more of a basis in composition than my friends that went on to a more conservative dance program which I believe has established longevity in my career as an artist.
I can only speak for my experience, but this school has been extremely helpful for me as a dancer and person. I have gone through my fair share of ups and downs and looking back on them I think they have helped establish me as an artist more so than a dancer. Going into my senior year, mainly focusing on dance, I feel that I will be ready to enter the dance world outside of Bennington. To help in this preparation I am taking classes such as Artists Portfolio, Dance in the 21st Century, and Sourcing the Body. I would love to talk to you a bit more about who you are to see if Bennington would be helpful to you.
Please email me and mention this post so we can chat more. I welcome all dancers to do the same!
Alana '15
Hello everyone!
Our shift has spent today answering some questions on the blog and we wanted to create a helpful guide to understanding where you should ask your questions.
To Incoming students: Use the facebook page! It's not just to get to know other incoming first years, it is there to act as a resource. All the interns and counselors who have facebook are part of that group. Your facebook questions will receive a more immediate answer than the tumblr.
Personal questions: We get asked a lot of really personal questions on this blog. We understand the urge to stay anonymous and talking to people on the phone or email can be scary. Personal questions are great on a one-on-one basis. Call us or email an intern and we can give you a much better answer than if we answered an anonymous tumblr post.
Repeat Questions: We get a lot of repeat questions and we intentionally answer these questions to provide multiple narratives. Usually there are several really amazing posts already written about that subject. For example, I typed in "social life" and got all these wonderful posts! This can be a good first step before asking a question. After seeing other answers it can help define what your own specific question is.
All questions: CALL US! We love to talk to students. Whether it is a simple yes/no or a question that requires a more in-depth response we would love to hear from you in person. Call us at (802) 440 -4312 and toll free at (800) 833-6845.
We love your questions but looking for a right platform can give you a more immediate and thorough response.
Arden J. '16 and Alana C. '15
PS: Are you an incoming student and not part of the facebook group? Email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yes. Go Crazy. Get rid of color if you so choose.
-Alana '15
Personally, I think these headphones would be best for an ID photo:
If you want to further talk about styles, color choices, or positioning your headphones for the photo feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Best of luck in choosing that perfect photo!
-Alana '15
Yes please:
Chinese? French? Italian? Japanese? Spanish?
and thank you, gracias, domo arigatou, grazie, merci, Xièxiè
…But seriously, the language classes at Bennington are taught through immersion. For instance if you wanted to take a Spanish class you wouldn't take Spanish 101 but you could take "Contemporary Issues on Film" or "Theories of Revolution" which are both Spanish courses. See here for more details on languages at Bennington!
-Alana '15
I don't have the exact break down, but I do know that we have students from 29 different countries including Pakistan, Denmark, Nepal, Vietnam, Bosnia, Turkey, Syria, and Albania. The most exciting part about this is that next years incoming class has 50 international students and the entire class size is around 200 so that is a 25% population of students from outside of the US joining our community.
-Alana '15
So I wanted to give you a ONCE IN A LIFETIME sneak peak into what some people do on Thursday May 8th in the year two thousand fourteen on the Bennington College Campus after our work shift ends:
"Get a quick lunch and then go shopping for the camping trip (we are taking DREAM kids that we mentor on a camping trip this weekend) and then going to Historical Grievances and Retrospective Redress. Then I am going to dinner with my friend Kiley and her parents and then finishing the second half of my exhibition proposal for my Art History class."
"After work today I am helping Noelle, the French professor, with assembling some videos for her husband's birthday present. Then I am going to be in the video editing studio for a long time tonight with your basic meal breaks. Then I am going to the film screening tonight called the Black Powered Mixed Tap"
There is a "Sexual Harassment Policy Review Committee" looking at rewriting and updating the current policy to be most applicable to Bennington's campus. However, there are already a lot of policies in place that attempt to keep the entire campus safe. Here is a link to the student handbook:http://www.bennington.edu/docs/default-source/docs-student-life/StudentHandbook.pdf?sfvrsn=6
We decided to answer this question because one of our close friends is one of the Sexual Harassment Advisors. There are students, faculty and staff members that act as resources for questions, concerns or worry about any sexual harassment or assault issue. They can act as a "first step", counselor and advocate depending on what you need. We are also looking to expand on these positions and create a more comprehensive student wellness advocate.
Our Thursday morning shift had a discussion about our understanding of facism. I realize that we all have our own prejudice against the idea of fascism in relation to its historical context. I would like to assume that you are not wanting to promote politically promoted racism and oppression and I would like to know more about how you identify with fascism. Why do you believe in fascism? On what basis do you identify as a fascist?
Bennington is notorious for asking students WHY. I believe that you cannot make an informed argument unless you understand the "why's" and the limitations of your thinking. So I would like to turn this back to you and ask:
The example that we used to think about this was about a student coming onto campus and believing that abortion should be illegal, they could argue in various ways. If they were well informed and open to healthy debate, then they could be well received because promoting a belief with a broad understanding of its basis as you understand it gives way to better conversation.
If you want to talk further, feel free to email me: firstname.lastname@example.com (I am also involved in the Gender and Sexuality Minority Alliance group and Sexual Wellness Advocacy Group so we can talk about your other identities as well)

Sorry friend, but I don't follow blind links to Spamhala or whatever.
But to anyone else,
benefit of being alive is you get to eat pizza. And, you can look forward to another day when you might again and maybe it will be the best pizza ever, the holy grail of pizzas so-to-speak.
The dead don't get any holy grail pizza.

After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked -- as I am surprisingly often -- why I bother to get up in the mornings. To put it the other way round, isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be a part of it?We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

Purity vs. pragmatism on Obamacare
My story in this morning's paper took a look at an interesting question about governing styles: is it right for a lawmaker to try to get money for their state from a program they oppose?
South Dakota's two Republican members of Congress, Sen. John Thune and Rep. Kristi Noem, say yes. They're both highly critical of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and have voted against it and to repeal it on numerous occasions.
Both of them wrote letters supporting a Rapid City nonprofit's application for a grant under the Affordable Care Act, and both said there was nothing wrong or contradictory about that.
"I see no conflict whatsoever in seeking fair treatment for South Dakotans under existing law, and still being opposed to the law and seeking to overturn it," Noem said.
It didn't make it into the article, but I asked Noem about a debate in the House lately, when top GOP leadership proposed repealing part of the health care law. Some conservative lawmakers revolted, saying that bill would work against the cause of repealing the entire law by making it slightly less onerous — and that voting to repeal only part of it could be seen as tacitly endorsing the rest.
Noem said she doesn't agree with that approach.
"My job right now is damage control on that bill," she said. "My preference obviously is to repeal it. (But) I have voted for bills before that have removed damaging portions of it."
Not everyone agrees. A curious alliance of conservative activists and Democrats said Thune and Noem were being contradictory or hypocritical by seeking money for their state under the law they opposed.
"I guess (they are) trying to have it both ways," (South Dakota Democratic Party chairman Ben) Nesselhuf said. "This is further evidence that Republican opposition to the Affordable Care Act is largely a political ploy."
It's a demonstration of one of the biggest cross-sectional divides in politics, between purity and pragmatism. You see this on the GOP side with the activists who are upset at Mike Rounds, an avowedly pragmatic Republican. (I've even started seeing some conservatives use "pragmatic" as a pejorative.) You saw it on the Democratic side with the liberal activists upset at Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, whose defenders also praised her pragmatism.
While there's some correlation between the pragmatism-purity axis and the moderate-radical axis, they're not identical.
If you're pragmatic, you're more willing to make compromises on what you believe (whether those beliefs are liberal, conservative or moderate) in order to get things done. A pragmatic believes making those compromises lets them accomplish their goals step-by-step, and makes success more likely than an all-or-nothing approach.
A purist sees compromising your beliefs to get things done as the worst thing you can do, as betraying those beliefs. They believe that if they stay true to their ideals, they'll ultimately win out and succeed, while compromises to get a little bit of what you want usually end up backfiring and hurting your cause.
What do you think? Did Thune and Noem do the right thing by being pragmatic about the Affordable Care Act and helping their constituents with it, or should they have been pure and rejected money for their state because they opposed the bill?

Facts on the iiNet AFACT case
Summary: This week's Twisted Wire podcast looks at some of the claimed facts surrounding the controversial lawsuit against iiNet regarding copyright infringement by its customers.
The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) has delivered hundreds of IP addresses to iiNet of account users it believes have illegally downloaded movies.
It says iiNet has a responsibility to stamp our piracy on its network and claims the ISP has not taken reasonable steps to do this. Last November, acting on behalf of seven film companies and the Seven Network, AFACT took action against iiNet to prevent what the group claims is online peer-to-peer copyright infringement.
The resulting court hearing is scheduled for two fortnight bursts from 6 October, with a finding expected sometime next year. This week on Twisted Wire we look at the arguments surrounding this case.
Adrianne Pecotic, executive director of AFACT, explains the reason for the action, while Nic Suzar, chair of Electronic Frontiers Australia, looks at some of the issues it raises. Peter Coroneos, CEO of the Internet Industry Association, looks at the implications for ISPs.
Next week we look more at the question of copyright and the internet and ask: is there a way forward that doesn't involve litigation?

Ducati's yoyo fortunes continue, with a disappointing sixth fastest for Rossi at the latest Jerez test, but trust in the Desmosedici's front end on the grow, according to Rossi.
So if you had to bet a year's salary on it now, how would you place it? Tell us your thoughts on how you think the Rossi saga's going to end below....

I think we will see steady improvements by the Ducati over the season and it will edge its way to a race win or two if they keep up the pace of development and we dont see any mammoth leaps in performance by the other factories. I think Rossi is definitely capable of winning races still with the right package, but I do keep coming back to the same thought which is - if Ducati never had Casey S ride for them and win for them, would they actually have won anything during the entire 800 era?? I fear that despite their best efforts their bike was just being flattered by the way Stoner rode it and they have actually got to progress much more than they thought. Building an entirely new machine was a must and its a step in the right direction, but its probably quite alot of development away (or seasons from becoming a championship threatening machine.

But I will add that until Ducati narrows their V angle (as I have stated elsewhere) I doubt their machine will be able to compete with the Hondas or Yahamas. VR46 is capable of winning - but only CS27 can do it on the Duc.

Well it seems like that answer is all up to Ducati. I won't say no because he is still capable of bagging a win in the wet or changing conditions but the bike has to improve more to be able to fight the factory Hondas and Yamahas in the dry. Will he win another title? I have to say no on that one though. The competition for the title is greater than it's been probably since Doohan, Schwantz, Lawson, Rainey, etc were slugging it out in the early 90's. And like Lawson who won on both Yamaha and Honda bikes and ended up on the Cagiva, Rossi has picked the wrong Italian horse in Ducati to help fight for the title. But Lawson did win a race on the Cagiva his 2nd year.......

don't believe all David Emmett writes SVNut. He's only a software engineer and hack.
I believe with steady improvements the Red team will tread water and maintain their station. Unless of course no other team was planning on any steady improvement. Perhaps a rash a crashes and a few swift rules changes by Uncle Carmelo will hoist him onto the podium once more....or maybe even all the top riders will boycott a race as they did at Misano in 1989 allowing Rossi one final time in the sun just as Chili had all those years ago.
Fully half you fools think Rossi will win another MotoGP title?! Or have you little 46'ers been voting all afternoon?

He`s had his day,{ day`s },and it wouldn`t matter a jot if he was back on the Yam or Honda.Not that there would ever be a possibility of that occuring. He`s had a good inning`s,much better than most,but the fact is he ain`t racing Crivelle or Biaggi,{ on a cheapy Yam },or Checa et al. Would the most successful racer ever,Ago,be expected to win nowaday`s? No ofcourse not,he has had his day. The Duke look`s like it could be a winner again,in the right hand`s,jeez even Nicky is pretty quick on it ! And that`s not something anyone has said for donkey`s. The only chance he would have of winning again would be, if everyone had to ride CRT`s,and CS JL DP and a couple of other`s jacked it in. He should retire from bikesport and do something safer and easier.... like car racing.

With,inside, on top of it, who cares ?.
I no doubt will have to swallow humble pie on the issue in the unlikely event that all the factory Yam/HRC riders crash out along with a couple of sat riders along with even Nick this year at the same event.
So,yeah,with or without Ducati. Go enjoy a rerun of Sepang 2010.
His Dirty Harry 44 Magnum days are history.
A second off the pace in Jerez is likely to translate into his standard 1.5 to 2 come fast circuits like Qatar.
Just as the CRT blokes will more likely revert back to 4 to 5 back at same event.

A rider of his ability knows when to get the "sandbags" out or when to replace with the "handbags" the big question at Duke is is the rider bigger than the brand / many seem to think so. If he gets nowhere close by mid season its all over, and it will be off to the supers with another team, the relationship between him and duke will never recover, billions spent for no podium or win - sack em, never mind how good they were, you cannot continue bad after good. Would hate to see him leave better for the series to have him in it, these boards would be empty.

Have you been smoking crack?..
The only thing that's changed sine 2009 is the bike. The competition is tough out there that's for sure, but anyone with half a brain would recognise that Rossi can still bring enough to the table given the right machinery. I'm hoping that Casey will bring home another title, but it's foolhardy to right VR off just yet.

Anyone in the SEO business and in particular, Black Hat SEO, will have heard of the Panda and Penguin updates to the Google search algorithm. In fact, your website may well have been affected by any or all of them if you have been playing the content development game less than straight.
Today, I have an announcement to make.
Depending on which side of the fence you work, whether it be White Hat or Black Hat, 2015 looks like its going to be the year Google finally culls the chaf from the wheat in its search results.
Far be it for me to preempt the next google move, but I did anyway - and today I am happy to disclose Google's new kid on the block - the coup de gras gameover SEO black hat killer algorithm update - Rhino.
Rhino is a Google search algorithm update that is going to go way beyond penalizing thin sites and saboteurs of link authority. Rhino promises to take out at least 95%+ of black hat based sites by accessing data about the site owner and the company associated with the website, versus analyzing the content per se.
Rhino is the ultimate surprise in an ever burgeoning box of surprises because Rhino concentrates on you and your behaviour, not the content of your website.
If you would like to know more, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com, alternatively you can hear more about it when I speak at the BHWConference, at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas this coming November.

you were the light of my life. radiance flowed from you. everything you touched seemed to glow. when i had first met you, i thought i was dreaming. i thought i was face-to-face with a golden star, a star that shined so bright the sun would turn green from jealousy. you were so bright and so kind. and i told you many months ago, that i wanted to capture you. capture you like a little firefly in a glass jar. but you didnt want that… you strayed…and i was the one who followed. you told me if i stared too long id go blind. maybe i did. you told me if i stared too long id get burnt. well i did, but it was my heart that lit in fire that night. and i looked at the sky in the hopes that id fine a better star to look after, but no one shined quite as bright as you did. and no one told me that after you left id be living in a dark numb world. the sun rises anymore because hes taken off with the moon. and the stars never come out because theyre afraid ill bottle them up like lightning bugs. but its so dark. and in the black of the afternoon i miss you. i cant see anything. i cant see you. pitch dark and damp with tears. you were the light of my life.
"why not leave?"

that our noses
could touch.

and i can feel

from being so close
to mine,
and i run my
hands across
the trail of scars
on his hip
and place my hand
gently over his heart.

As with other drug dens, people in the "virtual" crack house
buy and use crack cocaine and trade sex for drugs. Occasionally, the police
burst through the door and make arrests.
But the virtual crack house is safe. Not only that, it's therapeutic,
according to Barbara Rothbaum, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of
psychiatry and director of the Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program at Emory
University School of Medicine in Atlanta. The program built a virtual
environment to study the cues that trigger drug use in people addicted to
crack cocaine.
"With substance use disorders, it's dangerous and unethical to
present patients with real cues—with virtual reality, we can do that in
a controlled treatment setting," Rothbaum told Psychiatric
She worked with computer programmers to create the virtual world from
digital pictures of a real crack house in Atlanta, she explained, and
consulted with a graphic designer to design a path that patients would take
once they entered the virtual crack house.
When they don the virtual reality headgear, subjects who are addicted to
crack enter the crack house and are exposed to a variety of cues that
typically trigger drug use—people dealing and using crack, people
sleeping off the effects of the drug, and the sounds of people having sex, for
As people move around the crack house on a preprogrammed path, clinicians
ask the individuals to rate their urges to use crack when presented with
certain cues.
Rothbaum and her colleagues will try to determine which cues trigger the
strongest cravings in people with cocaine addiction.
Ultimately, Rothbaum said, the virtual-reality program can be used to test
pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions that clinicians might be
able to use to help addiction patients resist their cravings. ▪
