We're Only Two Episodes In To 'Mr. Robot' Season 2, But Does This Theory Predict A Big Reveal?
*Warning: This article contains spoilers for episodes 1 & 2 of Mr. Robot, as well as speculation on possible storylines*
Toward the end of the breathtaking first season of Mr. Robot, the hidden complexities of the standout show of 2015 began to unravel at the same pace as Elliot's fragile mind. Not only did we discover that Mr. Robot was in fact Elliot's father, we also discovered he was a hallucination, and the life-changing, consumerism busting revolution had been carried out by Elliot (Rami Malek) himself.
We witnessed the consequential dramatic collapse of corporate America, taken down by fsociety's devastating blow to it's financial foundation. But these left us with more questions than answers; now Elliot has become aware of his alter ego and the world has irreversibly changed, what happens next?
Such is the creative ingenuity of show creator Sam Esmail, despite the cat leaping out of the bag in Season 1 (probably running away and hacking all your personal information in the process), the has managed to maintain the show's unmistakable tone.
So Much So, After Two Episodes, There Are Already Some Crazy Theories
Everything in is a little… odd, right? We now know that Elliot has taken a self-imposed exile following the events at the end of Season 1, returning to the home of his no-nonsense mother. He lives an isolated life, consisting of:
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner in the same canteen with his new friend, Leon (the brilliant Joey Badass).
- Occasionally watching a basketball match in a yard in the neighborhood, despite the fact he doesn't like sports.
- Attending a Fight Club inspired "church group."
- Writing meticulous notes in his diary.
- Getting plenty of sleep.
In an attempt to control his own mind, and the intrinsic battle with Mr. Robot, this painstakingly vanilla existence is Elliot's attempt to settle his demons. But the problem is, this is Sam Esmail, a writer who loves toying with his audience. That has led to the theory that…
Elliot Is In Prison (Or A Mental Institute?)
Wait, what? Let's break this one down. Season 1 basically tore the rule book into a thousand shreds and let it fly off into the wind; we now know Elliot suffers from dissociative disorder, and as the unreliable narrator, we can never really be sure of the validity of what we're seeing.
It's unsurprising then that this theory has gained a lot of traction online, and as well as some more subtle hints (the Phil Collins song "Take Me Home" that features at the beginning is about a patient in a mental institution) throughout the first two episodes, the main exhibits are highlighted comprehensively by . Let's take a look at the key points:
1. Elliot's Prison-Like Surroundings
The entire layout of Elliot's surroundings are extremely regimented, remnant of a prison. From the minimalist, boxed-in bedroom, the puny bed and scant collection of belongings. As well as Elliot's extremely organised desk, there are two items that seem a little out of place:
Yep, that's a comb and a toothbrush, on his desk. Almost as if he had to keep all of his belongings with him. Almost as if… he's in prison?
2. The Frequent Trips To The Canteen
Elliot's new routine sees him make frequent visits to the same canteen with his friend, Leon. He goes to the same, sterilised and bland restaurant numerous times every day.
While comparisons to a prison canteen are stark, the relevance is made even more interesting when you take a look closer: the people in the background, too, stay the same.
3. The Basketball Games
Elliot sits by and watches the game unfold, every day. While it is plausible that he could do this in his neighborhood, this is also another strong reference to the fact he could be in prison.
The theory also highlights the fact that there could be some familiar faces from the canteen who appear in the crowd.
4. Subtle Symbolization Of Bars
On top of these recurring references, there are also shots throughout both episodes that reference bars, either directly or indirectly. There are bars on the widows to his apartment, as well as stripes inside.
5. Is Ray All That He Seems?
Finally, the (one-sided) conversation Elliot has with newcomer Ray (Craig Robinson) could point to more clues. Ray explains how he knows Elliot's name, and appears to know details of his background. He also refers to the basketball players as "killers."
The way he is introduced — intervening before a potential fight kicked off between Leon and the other basketball player — could suggest that Ray is a prison guard, or someone of importance within the establishment.
So, Is This Really Far Fetched?
Within the boundaries of the show, it's entirely plausible. We still don't know what happened during the three day black hole in Elliot's memory, but at least this looks set to be revealed in the next episode, possibly giving us some much needed answers.
The theory also puts the Gideon visit, Elliot's lack of communication with the outside world, and the prison-like phone used to talk to Tyrell Wellick into a chilling context. It wouldn't be entirely unfeasible to suggest that his mother is another hallucination, taking the place of a guard or supervisor.
The other question is, if this does turn out to be true, does Elliot know? As the narrator, he keeps highlighting the fact that he doesn't trust us, the viewer (why ever not?), so it could be that he is deliberately withholding that information from us.
Until next week, there's certainly a lot to mull over. But, for now, bonsoir dear friend.
Do you think Elliot could be in prison or a mental asylum?

Do you ever wish your DP didn't have DCs with another woman?(40 Posts)
I've name changed for this as I'm expecting to get flamed and I'd like to be able to come back here as this board is a real lifeline for me.
DP and I are TTC at the moment. It looks like I might have some fertility issues and it may take longer than we thought.
DP's ex can't really be bothered with DSD and we have her most of the time. Her mum likes to wheel her out for family occasions and then give her back to us once the spotlight's off her amazing mothering skills.
Anyway, I just feel really really pissed off that DP had a child with this horrible woman who's not even that bothered. When I desperately want his child and can't.
It doesn't seem fair. And the bit I'm most ashamed of is it affects how I feel about DSD. It's like her presence is rubbing my face in that fact that DP can have children with other women that aren't me.
I know how bad that sounds. That's why I've name changed and it's why I'm saying it here. Anonymously. Because I would never tell anyone in RL how I felt because I know it's terrible. I just need to get it out.
My yearning for a child has turned me a bit crazy I think. And finding out recently that we may have trouble conceiving has tipped me over the edge of reason. I'm having more and more thoughts like this and I know it's not okay.
I can't be the only person to have felt like this. To have felt jealous that their DP had children with another woman? I'm starting to feel resentful at paying half for everything for DSD like holidays and food and stuff. I know it's wrong. I paid for half of her ski holiday. If we were a family I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Why do I feel like this? I'm miserable. How can I change?
I can totally relate to that, colditz - it is very hard to stand by and watch DSC being hurt, abused, neglected etc and I have often thought that their mum 'doesn't deserve' such wonderful DCs if that's how she chooses to treat them
In recent weeks, I have found myself 'wishing them away' though and wonder what life would have been like if DPs ex had just disappeared with the DCs so we weren't a part of their life.
Sorry, OP, that's a bit of a hijack
Yes but not for the same reason. I wouldn't wish any of our children away, I wish they were all mine AND my partners, just to simplify all this "this child has to be here at x time on ex date, other child must be forty miles away or face the wrath of her mother, I will never hear the end from his father if we don't etcetcetc" oh god it's endless.
I dont think our dp/h (unless they are in the same situation i expect) know just how hard it is and how strong we need to be to take on our dsc's. To have a child in your life and treat them, on face value, as your own, when am sure (though the majority would never admit) our inner mum is whispering "but they aren't your babies". Until i had my own children i realised that the emotion i was putting in to my relationship with dsd was effort and not love. Since having my kids i realise it isnt even like! How awful! I have a child in my life who i know is brilliant but looks and acts like her mother. The mother who lied to my dp and said she could not have children and removed all discussion of wether he was ready to be a parent at twenty off the table. Who then proceeded to have an affair with his friend/neighbour, took my dsd to live with this man and encouraged her to call him daddy. Needless to say she was pregnant again within a year! Am sure there is a case for entrapment somewhere in there. And its not dsd fault ofcourse. But when i say she acts like her mother, her mother has an attitude problem and superiority complex. And dsd has these in abundance...at seven! But i'm the bad mpther for realising my kids will always be treated differently to the poor dsd who is given everything she WANTS at the drop of a hat so she knows that shes loved. And yes i knew about her before we got together and yes i did take on a man with "baggage" (for want of a much better term) but am only human. A human mother and a human woman and a human partner. I try to be the best at all these roles and the role of step mother but i cant help but be overwhelmed by the negative emotions i experience towards the child i know didnt choose to be in her position. So horrendous. So difficult.
I struggled with TTC as DH impregnated his ex in the first month of trying with my stepkids (he was quite bitter about this as she wasn't terribly interested in sex). It felt unfair that it was less easy for me, like I was being punished for being the slutty second wife
I know that is bonkers but it seemed really unfair!
I have never wished my DSSs away but if my DH (then my DP) had had any real fertility issues or had I not been able to have children at all I probably wouldn't have stayed with him. I think it's one thing for a couple to go through a fertility "journey" together if they are both on the same footing, entirely different if one member of the couple already has DC. I also don't think I would've happy with just DSC, had I not been able to have children I would've wanted to be along with someone who was in the same position and not be faced with constant reminders of what I couldn't have.
OP, I think your feelings are quite natural and normal. And I see no evidence that you are allowing your feelings to have a negative impact on DSD - the only worry there is that you might find yourself feeling a bit withdrawn and distant and so miss out on enjoying your self with DSD, but I think you are working hard not to do so. The examples you mention - the co-sleeping and the indulgence by dad - don't show any unkindness toward DSD - you are perfectly right to want to set your own boundaries.
I think it is harder in some ways to be childless and be with a man with children. (At least emotionally - there may be fewer logistical and practical issues, and less at stake.) I was not 'supposed' to be able to carry a child to term, and when I met my DH, one of the things I had to think about was how I would manage that while also raising his children by someone else. (I didn't ever meet their mum, she is deceased - so I have no direct feelings about her, IYSWIM - no dislike or on-going issues between us as there might be with a living mum - but I will admit to a bit of resentment over some of the choices she made in regards to the kids' upbringing, or financial decisions that have carried on affecting us, or even the fact that she will never be the one to get the brunt of a teenager's bad mood!)
Please don't take seriously the demands that you treat your DSD "like your own child". You will tie yourself up in knots trying to meet a standard that isn't necessarily appropriate, that most psychologists and family counselors don't recommend, and that may actually exacerbate problems in your family.
What's more, most of those who say this, don't even mean it - they are often the same ones who will be quick to say that you are "overstepping" when you take on a parental role, or that you are being unkind or unloving when you do treat your DSC as you would your own child, right down to the discipline and standards you'd hold for your own child. You cannot win in that game, so don't play. Spend your time figuring out, instead, how to build a strong relationship of equals with your partner, and establishing the boundaries and roles that are right in your circumstances.
I think that there are two separate issues here.
IMO your DP is spoiling his DD. Maybe to make up for her mother being absent or maybe because this is how he will be with all his children, I wouldn't have DS in my bed, or eating food off my plate etc.
But I think that your DSD is a child who did not ask to be born, you entered into a relationship with a man with a child willingly, she came before you. In your posts it's coming across like you blame her. She's a child and will pick up on your negative feelings towards her wether you say them or not.
As a PP said, you need to treat her with kindness and respect, anything else is just a bonus.
I think you should see your doctor about speaking to someone about these feelings, as they are normal for your situation, but destructive and you will only make yourself, your DP and your DSD suffer if this gets out of hand. If I have a DP in the future and he spoke about DS like this, honestly I would ask him to leave.
In a word, yes.
I empathise, I'm going through the same thing at the moment. Dsd was an 'accident' that happened just a few months after a termination. Dsd mum didn't want DC's. DP and I are desprately ttc and so far no luck. I can't help but feel a little gutted that a woman thaat didn't want a child got my lovely dsd and isn't that bothered about her, she spends most of her time at the CM or here.
I think its natural and honestly I love my dsd but I know (if/when!) I have my own DC's I will love them more because they are part of me.
I have been working over time to avoid my Dsd as I'm struggling being around her for long periods but iam suffering quite badly from depression at the moment. My DP is very understanding and just wants me well. Your DP really should take your feelings in to concideration. He can't change anything but if he wants a DC too he should look after you a little too. Your state of mind can really effect ttc.
Sorry last message was meant for other thread!
Op I do think you're overly invested in your feelings about your dss's mum and they're quite negative, what do you think she'll do to your future children? Has she given you reasons to feel the way you do?
I think it's normal for it to cross your mind now and then, ttc with such a struggle must be very difficult and this must make it very hard to see your DSD's mother not bothering with her. I have the opposite thoughts, DS's father is just an awful parent and it sometimes enters my mind how much easier it would be if Dfiance was DS's father instead of his real dad. I know this isn't a very nice thought, I can't change who his biological father is, but it doesn't stop me from thinking it now and then.
I'm in the same position op I have 2 lovely dsc who I am very fond of but we are ttc and have fertility issues, in our case it is dp who has the problem. Some days I really struggle with feeling resentment towards the situation, never towards my dsc as I know it isn't their fault.
Dp's ex uses the children to get her own way and to upset dp a lot and it's those days that I find myself feeling really angry, why did he have children with a women like her but can't with me, I just remind myself that I can't change the past and concentrate on making sure that my dsc know they are safe and loved in our home and try to be the best role model I can for them.
Dsc aren't allowed in our room unless we ask them to go in there, if they need us at night they knock on the door, but they are 9 and 14 so I would be very surprised if either of them wanted to get into bed with us.
Like waitingforme anything that's mine is mine, we did have a slight issue with dp letting dss eat my emergency stash of chocolate, I wouldn't have minded if he had asked me BUT the dsc have their own treat box it was just that dss wanted what I had and not what was in his box, fortunately dp has since learnt that the answer to any question about something that belongs to me is you need to ask smiling.
Yes in one sense. We can't afford a fourth child (two DSSs, one DS). I feel a bit sad it's not really an option.
But I actually rather like that I have a houseful of kids (albeit part time) but only had to give birth once!
I adore my DSSs but my life is crucially different from OPs in two ways. Our bed, bedroom (and ensuite) are pretty much out of bounds. And everything that is mine (from a banana to my car) is mine and subject to my rules. I would really struggle if DHs boys slept in our bed or felt entitled to what I was eating.
Definitely put a stop to dsd sleeping in your bed if you don't feel comfortable.
I did the minute it first happened, it would just build up alot of resentment if you are not honest about what you can/can't put up with.
I could have written your op a few years ago. Dscs are newly into adulthood now, but my dcs are only little.
When struggling to conceive with dd, it was made worse by dsd announcing she was pregnant. I was irrationally jealous, felt betrayed, all sorts of awful things. But it isn't the dsc's fault you feel this way.
I say that with compassion and no blame at all, but your dsd cannot help who her mother is, by the sounds of it, you are a better maternal figure for her.
Sorry this isn't particularly articulate, but it does get easier. Give her a chance to show you she's special. It isn't actually her you resent, but the situation. Feel free to pm me if you ever want a non judgemental ear.
i will also say op you are very lucky that you and your dp have a relationship with your DSD, my DSD has almost no relationship with DH, and does not want anything to do with us, and has never met her half sister (my dd) because her mum has spent the years since DH left her poisoning her against him
i would do anything to have her in our lives. sorry i know thats a bit off subject but just wanted to say x
I sympathise. When DP and I were talking about having children it did ocur to me how much harder it would be if we struggled because he already had 2 DCs - I felt all kinds of preemptive feelings of resentment and inadequacy (I study infertility so certainly overthought it far too much!!)
I am now pregnant and totally agree that whilst I feel love towards the SDCs it is not "like they are my own". It is like they are members of my family (which they are), the same feelings I have for my godchildren.
Happily DP understands this and is glad that DCs and I have a good relationship, he doesn't expect me to love the SDCs like my own just to understand that all the DCs are his own and he loves them all equally- including bump.
You sound like you do care very much for DSD - do you feel that she is family to you and would this be "enough" for your DP?
Wakey that's a great post, says everything I wanted to say but failed miserably to do in my own post!
I am in a very similar situation. Have a DSD and TTC.
I do hate the fact DP had a child with another woman, I love DSD but that doesn't change the fact that I wish I had been the only mum of his only children!
I got home tonight to find my laptop gone and found out DSD popped round to borrow it. She has one of her own. She has an iMac in her bedroom (at her mums), her mum has a laptop and We have a family desktop computer.
When I asked DP where is was as I need it he told me and doesn't see the issue because if she was my child I would let her use anything of mine.
As step parents we have to deal with all the things parents do but with none of the recognition. Told we have to love a child that we didn't have a chance to carry ourselves. Have a daily reminder that DP had a previous life before we came along. And come second best from the beginning, not just after we have our own children.
It is totally natural to feel some resentment and anger towards the situation but it should never turn into anger or hatred towards the child, I always try to remind myself that DSD didn't choose for me to be in her life or her parents to split so to have some compassion.
I feel for you OP and I could have written your post
Op, I sympathise.
I have been a step mum for 3 years. I also have my own baby.
I do love my dsd. But not in the same way as I love my own child, I just don't. In fact I've name changed because I have my own thread to start
Is your relationship otherwise good? Have you been together long? Do you LIKE your dsd? I suppose I'm thinking that maybe you should think about starting again. Maybe.
The bed thing is hard. I actually hate my dsd coming into bed with us. She used to do it a lot when she was younger 4 or 5. My dh loved it and found it really upsetting if I ever protested, so mainly I kept quiet. Now I have my own dc and I love it when he sometimes gets in with us! Complete double standards. It's just different when it's not your own child. But I do sympathise with your dp and dsd too.
Step families can be tough.
Genuine question for people who say you should treat your sc as your own. How? I treat my dsd and dc equally but I love my dc more. So probably in my heart there are inequalities. I'm much less patient with my sc but try to hide it (pretty successfully).
It sounds to me like your DP is trying to airbrush his DDs mum out of her life - that really isn't the actions of a good dad, regardless of how he feels about his ex's behaviour.
I think you should put TTC on hold - your DP appears to have a very low regard for the role of a mother in a DCs life and very little respect for you - once you have his child, things will only get worse.
The two issues you mention - co-sleeping and a parent indulging a child by securing what they want on their behalf (your food) are both issues that cause friction between 'together' parents. They should be discussed and agreed, not forced upon you.
If your DP wants to parent his DD his way and expects you to do the same, then what is his model for parenting your shared child?
Well both examples you have given are things I wouldn't put up with.
Your bed is your personal space. I had issues with DSD getting in our bed and stopped it. I had a thread on here and got a good MN flaming!
And the eating thing - I'd be really annoyed. DSD used to help herself to my stuff (make up, perfume, etc) and I stopped that too! It's about respecting boundaries and personal space - things which should happen in all families!
Your DP is asking too much of you. Particularly because you don't have dc of your own yet - maybe you should hold off from TSC until these things are ironed our though.
*It's like DPs affronted when I don't treat DSD like my own. But I don't want to treat her like my own because she isn't.
He'd be so hurt if I said that to him. But I think I'm just being realistic.*
You cannot just pull pure love out of nowhere. You can't fake it, how long would that last? Most people would go mad if they tried to put on a front declaring that they love another woman's child as their own just to please everyone else. Don't feel guilty OP. Nobody can force you to treat her as if she is your own, nor can they tell you how to feel about her. She's not yours, and the feelings you have for will be nowhere near as strong as people (like your DP), expect them to be.
He shouldn't be allowing her food you're eating. That does not a "kind" father or partner make, just an indulgent one.
Sorry OP but I foresee a lot of problems for you in the future in this situation. You should NOT be paying half of trips to somehow prove to DP you're a good SM.

Originally a lingerie, apparel, and costume designer, Melissa let her love of music carry her into dance and ultimately found aerial dance. She now finds herself performing on stages, in theaters, galleries and nightclubs much like the performers she once costumed.
She builds a repertoire of original acts and characters specifically for each client or occasion. These acts create an atmosphere that goes beyond normal standards of food and dj services to someone who develops a character like an actor for their audience. Styles range from simple aerial excitement to modern movement, vaudeville, cabaret, cirque, or fantasy characters. Her characters have many themes: an organ grinder with her monkey, the preening peacock, the fiery phoenix, a sea of mermaids, flying spirits, aerial go-go dancers, or vaudeville clowns vying for each other's attention.
Melissa enjoys the spotlight and a breathless audience, hearing the surprise and screams coming from a crowd or watching the lights dance on her skin while she defies gravity. Most of all she aims to be an expression of beauty, music, or theme touching the audience in a striking, memorable and inspiring way.
Melissa is part of several troupes and cofounder of an aerial studio. She invents apparatuses when she has the time, money and need, invents characters and stretches into new skills when inspired. Costuming and apparel design remain a passion and lend themselves heavily to characters and involvement in circus as well. She is always looking to collaborate artistically with other artists and clients.
Melissa's Circus and performance skills range from aerial dance and partnering in the air, to target cutting with bullwhips, fire performance, partner acro balance, prop dancing, stilts, burlesque, and fan dancing. She loves to teach, training her students holistically while they develop and grow into their abilities. She values expression, but demands intentionality with form, effort and gesture. Melissa performs at festivals, for corporate events, for film, in art galleries, in nightclubs, and other venues as a soloist, a duet, or troupe. She is currently part of Liquid Sky performance troupe, Endless Entertainment, and the Hot Toddies Flaming Cabaret.

Miley Cyrus Is A Best-Selling Author & Dance Teacher
If you're trying to avoid any form of media focusing on tween starlet Miley Cyrus, you might want to consider moving to a deserted island because this 16-year-old's toothy smile is unavoidable.
Her autobiography Miles to Go hit the number one spot on the New York Times children's best seller list and has another movie set to hit the big screen. In Hannah Montana: The Movie, Cyrus introduces the "Hoedown Throwdown" to her fans. The Disney star claims, "We just all kind of made it up as we went along."
Let's hope this isn't the dance she's talking about.
Gallery Info: Miley Cyrus his the drive thru and heads to the studio.

I'm replacing all of the cedar clapboards on
our victorian, in order to get rid of the old lead paint. When setting the nail heads so I can putty over for a smooth painted finish, it always seems the last tap with the hammer splits the clap.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 29)
The Supreme Court has agreed to decide the fate of a New York school district set up for disabled Chasidic children that has been called unconstitutional.
The high court said Monday that it would review a July decision by the New York Court of Appeals. The appeals court had ruled that the state legislature's formation of the district was unconstitutional because it violates the separation between church and state.
"Now there is the chance that the Supreme Court will restore for the handicapped children the services that they are entitled to," said David Zwiebel, general counsel of the fervently Orthodox Agudath Israel.
But the case may have broader significance than aid to a New York school district.
It may provide an opportunity for the court to re-examine the legal standard it has used for over two decades to decide how far the government may go in accommodating religious needs without breeching the constitutional divide between church and state.
Formed by the New York State Legislature in 1989, the school district provides services to emotionally and physically disabled children in the Orange County village of Kiryas Joel, where most of the residents are Satmar Chasidim.
Nearly all of the 220 students attending the school, which opened in 1990, are Chasidic.
The legislature acted in response to Chasidic parents who believed they could not send their disabled children to religious schools in the area because of inadequate facilities, or to public schools because of religious and cultural differences.
The lawsuit was originally brought by two taxpayers.
The appeals court ruled in July, in Grumet vs. Board of Education of the Kiryas Joel School District, that the formation of the school district "inescapably conveys a message of governmental endorsement of religion."
The school district argued that no such message was sent because the subject matter taught at the school is entirely secular.
New York state joined the school district in appealing the case to the Supreme Court.
Gov. Mario Cuomo said Monday in New York that "when I signed the legislation in 1989 creating this special school district, I did so because I believed it was a good-faith effort to solve a unique problem of providing secular education for special needs children."
"I'm pleased that the Supreme Court has taken the case," said Nathan Lewin, attorney for the school district.
"State laws should not be invalidated because they in some indirect way assist in religious practice," he said.
Lewin said the Supreme Court signaled in July it was interested in the matter when it allowed the district to continue operating during the appeal process.
Several mainstream Jewish organizations disagreed with the Orthodox community and had applauded the lower court's decision as strengthening the separation of church and state.

These people are so unbelievable. Now Joe is saying that we're a more Libertarian country, we want the government out of our wallets and bedrooms (cause the lesbian was elected). Then you have Donny Deutsh claiming we're a Centre-Right country.
Mika Brazinski is a rancid cunt. That's all I have to say. She might as well be in a Benny Hill sketch, acting as the dumb blond bimbo being chased around the set by Scarborough in a bikini. She's turned into a little Right winger because her daddy sitting next to her is one.

Cleaning up toxic past, Montenegro town pioneers a green economyJan 21, 2011
After two decades in the toxic shadow of a closed lead and zinc mine, a small town in northern Montenegro is seeding a greener future as it cleans up an industrial dump and restores its pristine natural surroundings.
What was once a threat to human health, the environment and economic growth is now being reinvented as an eco-tourism hub, as part of a three-year United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) environmental project to remediate sites blighted by industrial pollution in the Western Balkans.
The 'Brskovo' mine in the municipality of Mojkovac operated for 25 years before it was abandoned in 1991, leaving an open dump with some 2 million cubic metres of contaminated mud and water. The remaining stagnant waste was full of chemical and heavy-metal leftovers from the refining process, called 'tailings', mixed with storm water and tons of untreated sewage from ruptured mains.
"It looked like a small artificial lake, but was called the 'silent killer' of the town," said Borko Vulikic, UNDP Montenegro's project coordinator for the Mojkovac site. "From years of breathing chemical dust, lots of people have contracted cancer and lung disease."
Stretching across 45 acres from the town's residential heart to the adjacent River Tara, the dump also threatened to spoil the area's verdant natural landscape – known for its mountains and national parks that the Tara cuts through.
Seasonal floods twice nearly broke the protection dam holding back the toxic waste from the river, in what could have caused an international disaster taking waste as far as the Danube.
"The community was psychologically affected, and no one slept when there were floods," said Vulikic. "The dump caused residents to leave, closed the small factories that were here, and scared away developers and investors."
The UNDP-coordinated cleanup is helping to turn the page on that negative legacy, removing investment barriers and allowing the productive public use of the dump's prime location.
After draining the water from the toxic pool, the project team stabilized the waste with lime, leaving solid turf on a synthetic base that has now been capped and will be topped with clean soil and grass. The local government says the cleanup has succeeded in making the area safe for visitors and residents, posing no threat now that the site has been stabilized and sealed.
To make the most of the reclaimed site, Mojkovac is planning to build a vast sports and recreation commons extending from both banks of the Tara, based on winning designs from an international competition.
Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Tara River Canyon is the deepest and longest in Europe, as well as one of the cleanest, attracting droves of tourists whom Mojkovac is already starting to draw downriver.
Over the last two years, Mojkovac has successfully introduced kayaking to the Tara – its crowning touristic achievement that has brought a surge in visitors, economic opportunities, and a national award in 2010 for best practices in local development.
"We realized there was huge potential in Moykovic, but we had to change the way people thought about the area by promoting nature tourism," said Vulikic. "When we started talking about kayaking and biking, we were considered dreamers, but after the first concrete changes and opportunities, now everyone has high hopes for tourism to become the main motor of development here."
The cleanup also had a positive impact on the prospects for a healthier community, resulting in the construction of the first modern wastewater treatment plant in Montenegro, which began service in November 2009. The plant will provide sanitation to Mojkovac's population until at least 2020, and much longer with some minor upgrades.
In 1991, the same year as the 'Brskovo' mine closed, Montenegro's parliament declared the country an "ecological state", reaffirming the shared right of its people to a healthy environment and calling for the prevention of ecological disasters.

Candies Made With Coconut Oil Instead Of Butter
Sugar Work By ellavanilla Updated 29 Oct 2013 , 1:51pm by rjcakes
Has anyone tried caramels or chocolate recipes with coconut oil?
i have a recipe for caramels made with coconut oil that i'd like to try, and i was wondering if anyone has tried it?
I made a chocolate bar last week and the taste was good, but the chocolate melts at room temp, so I wanted to avoid this with the caramels.
I think your caramel would come out fine since the fat is just one component of the caramel. However, making chocolate with it is something else because the melting temp of coconut oil is about 20 degrees lower than chocolate. How did you make your chocolate bar?
To be honest, i'm making edible "herbal remedies" for my step mother, who is seriously ill.
I had to steep the herbs in the coconut oil in order to infuse them into the final product.
I used approx 1 T of infused coconut oil, and 12 oz of 70% dark chocolate, which, i actually melted and tempered in a mini crock pot. That worked very well. I lined the mold with dried pineapple for more taste-texture.
The result has good taste and texture when cold, but squishes completely at room temp.
I did not know (or even consider) the lower melting point for the coco oil.
Thanks for the info. Onto caramels!
Jen - you could also steep the herbs in cream and mix that with chocolate to form a ganache and use that as a filling for a mold lined with your tempered chocolate. Just thinking aloud...good luck with the caramels, I'd be interested to know how they come out.
hmmmmm the herb is fat soluble, so I'll have to see if the cream is enough fat, but it's totally worth a try!
i looked it up and heavy cream has more than twice the fat of coconut oil, so good call! i'mma do it!
The caramels came out great. I only made one mistake, I scraped the sides while i was stirring and ended up with dark flecks in my candies. It doesn't change the flavor, just the appearance. I thought the idea was to keep cleaning the sides because the recipe said to stir constantly. Now I wonder if i should have just left it to boil.
thank you for the help!
Good to know you can make them with the coconut oil! Glad it worked out for you!
Another great recipe for chocolates made with coconut oil is Peter Greweling's mint meltaways. Made with simply coconut oil and chocolate - I think you can probably google the recipe.
Best of luck with your herbal candymaking!


text: Ok Zoe just got sick, a lot. Like everything she ate today. it wasnt really digested. But I took her into the vet today and she has a mild ear infection. Do you think she just got sick cuz she has an upset stomach? Could it be cuz she doesn't feel well from the ear infection? Or just from running around to much after she ate?

...kind, generous, and good-hearted people gave you money for your poor crippled dog that they could have used for their kids' birthdays, and you chose to spend your money on your kid's rather expensive birthday.
Everybody's got important things to save money for and spend money on. I'm sure every poster here with a family wants to feed their family. I think every poster here would be pretty sad if another posters family starved. But people don't post sob stories about their hungry kids to solicit donations to feed their kids and then turn around and spend the money they saved on their food bills to take a family vacation.

Behind the Scenes: Your Trash, Becomes Treasures for Opatz Metals and Steel [VIDEO]
Subscribe to AM 1240 WJON on
HOLDINGFORD — This week in our "Behind the Scenes" series, we see what happens to your aluminum cans, metals, and irons when they are dropped off at a salvage yard.
Jeremy Opatz and his family have operated Opatz Metals and Steel in Holdingford since 2008, and are prime examples of how one person's trash is another person's treasure.
"We buy anything, as long as it's metal, brass, copper, led, tin, and autos," says Opatz.
With dangers around every corner, Opatz says safety for employees and customers is their number one priority.
"Another thing you have to watch is customer safety. Make sure they don't slip and fall or get cut on a piece of iron," says Opatz.
When you arrive your vehicle is first weighed. After that you're directed to the part of the plant the different types of scraps are stored. Once unloaded, you are then paid for your items.
After that, work begins to either cut, crushed, or packaged the items before being shipped to a refinery to be recycled.
"All the bundles and boxes we create get weighed once again before they go on the trailer," says Opatz.
Bundles can weigh anywhere between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds each.
Opatz says while each day can bring its own challenges, the end result benefits more than just the customer.
"People are getting paid to bring in their stuff, and also it's being reused again versus going to a landfill or laying in a ditch somewhere," says Opatz.

Politics of Wednesday, 17 October 2012
Source: GNA
The New Patriotic Party's Member of Parliament for Subin, Isaac Osei has stated that the Party's flagbearer can never be corrupted as do some politicians.
"I have known Nana Akufo-Addo for over 40years now, both in private and public life, and I can vouch for his integrity that he is not corrupt and can never be corrupted," Mr. Osei stated while addressing a charged crowd at the inauguration of the Old-Tafo constituency Nasara-wing of the party.
Mr. Osei indicated that corruption within the present NDC regime is of gargantuan proportions and has contributed to retarding economic growth and also diminished the standard of living of the people.
He said, "under the Presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo, God-willing, the country' resources will be used judiciously for the benefit of all Ghanaians and not some greedy few".
Earlier, Mr. Isaac Osei visited some churches within his constituency to fellowship with them and also to seek the face of God as the NPP gears towards victory in the upcoming general elections.
He first visited the A.M.E Zion Cathedral where he joined the congregation for a special prayer for the peace and unity of the country as we draw nearer to the 2012 general elections. He said election is about choice and the trading of ideas. "It is important the electorate weighs the manifestos of the various political parties and choose among them, one that can transform lives and the nation" He stressed.
He also visited the Church of Pentecost at Asafo and urged the congregation to vote back the NPP to power so they can get the opportunity to enhance their livelihoods through policies such as: Free SHS, Strengthening of the NHIS and Job creation. He added that "every child must have the opportunity to go to school no matter the circumstance of their birth".
Finally, Mr. Isaac Osei, entreated the congregation to pray not only for him but also his opponents. He said, "Please pray for Nana Akufo-Addo, John Mahama, Kwesi Nduom, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and all those who seek to lead Ghana in the highest office of the land.
The Presiding Elder of the Church thanked him for worshiping with them and prayed for the favour of God upon him and his Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo. Prayers were also said for all other political leaders.

Hey. I have been playing around with geohots update.pup. (it's not really an update, but an exploit using PS3update to run a self file, patching game_category.xml)
Made som modifications, and no i am trying to put it back together. Repacking the pup is no problem, but i am not able to sign the ps3swu.self correctly...
I have been using the win32 version of makeself (not make_self). It has most options.
This is the command i have been trying
[Register or Login to view code]
The pup loads on the PS3, but insted off restarting the ps3, and beeping 10 times, it just returns to the XMB.
What am i doing wrong? What key did geohot use to sign the file? (I have tryied just to unself the original file, and repacking it with makeself, with no sucsess)
This is the "readself" of the original file.

He who loves a quarrel loves sin; he who builds a high gate invites destruction.
Proverbs 17:19
I remember a young man who gave a talk on a retreat. He indicated that the emotional dysfunction that surrounded him in his early years caused him to build a wall around himself, "nothing gets in, nothing gets out." It made me think about the walls I used to build in my life. I remember building walls around my weaknesses and addictions so that the world would not see them. I became better at maintaining the wall than I did life itself. I began to think the wall was life. It was a path to destruction just as the Proverb says. Thank God for people who saw through this and were able to help bring down the wall.
Today I pray that I may leave my gate open for all to enter. That I may be seen and real to every person. I pray that as people come into my yard that they are able to look beyond the weeds and the imperfections of my house (me), and see one of God's imperfect people whose sole desire is to love the Lord and just get a little better each day. A better plan than destruction!
I had that wall too. Everything you said is exactly how it was for me. Thanks for reminding me of the past, never do I want to go back.
amen great post

FORTUNE -- There are two main lines of defense against a claim of patent infringement: 1) Argue that the accused products don't infringe and 2) argue that the asserted patents are not valid.
"The writing is already on the wall," on the first line of defense, according to Christopher Carani, a design patent attorney at the Chicago-based intellectual property law firm McAndrews, Held & Malloy. "Samsung's Defense #1 will likely fail."
Carani says so on the basis of what Judge Lucy Koh wrote when she granted Apple's (aapl) motion for preliminary injunction against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 -- before she heard any of the evidence presented over the past two weeks.
She described the device as "virtually indistinguishable" from Apple's iPad. "Samsung," she said, "appears to have created a [tablet] design that is likely to deceive an ordinary observer, 'inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other.'"
According to Carani:
These assessments of extreme similarity far exceed the needed similarity for design patent infringement, namely, that the accused design is "substantially the same" as the patented design. By using the stronger words "virtually indistinguishable," Judge Koh plainly appears to be of the mindset that the accused Samsung tablet design easily meets the "substantially the same" infringement standard – so much so that the facts lead to one and only one conclusion – infringement.
If he's right, that leaves Samsung trying to argue that Apple should never have been granted those patents in the first place. To do so, it must persuade the jury that the patents Apple claims are novel and non obvious are nothing of the sort. And because the jury's verdict in a federal civil case must be unanimous, Samsung only has to convince one of the nine jurors that the inventions Apple is trying so hard to protect were copied from work that others did before it.
In that context, Samsung's legal team may wish it could enter into evidence a 10-minute TED talk by producer/director Kirby Ferguson that was posted on YouTube Friday and made the rounds over the weekend.
Ferguson argues that everybody copies, including Apple, and that "everything is a remix." He starts with the early songs of Bob Dylan and ends with the iPhone -- topped off with a 1996 clip of Steve Jobs quoting Pablo Picasso's line: "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
"And we've always been shameless," Jobs famously adds, "about stealing great ideas."
"In other words," Ferguson concludes, "great artists steal, but not from me."
Here's that TED talk:

After reading the various papers available on GiST and RD trees, I think I have a decent suggestion. Since RD tree keys contain the keys of their descendents/components in them, they are basically a representation of a depth first search. This can be useful for intra-document searches. OTOH, inter-document searches are going to be more akin to breadth first searches using RD trees. Thus my suggestion is that we maintain =two= index structures for text data. The first contains as many keys and all their descendents as possible. When we can no longer fit a specific complete "path" into a page, we start a new one; trying to keep complete top level to leaf key sets within a page. This will minimize paging during intra-document searches. The second index keeps siblings within a page and avoids putting parents or children within a page unless the entire depth first search can be kept within the page in addition to the siblings present. This will minimize paging during inter-document searches. Traditional B-tree ordering methods can be used to define the ordering/placement of pages within each index, which will minimize head seeks to find the correct page to scan. Since the criteria for putting a key within a page or starting a new page is simple, performance for those tasks should be O(1). The price is the extra space used for two indexes instead of one, but at first glance that seems well worth it. Comments? Ron

SUPERMARKET giant Morrisons is urging shoppers to come to see its plans for a new mid-sized store on the outskirts of Wallingford.
A public exhibition is being staged over two days to show residents what the foodstore will look like.
Morrisons say the store on the Hithercroft industrial estate will provide more than £25m of investment, with a new four-pump filling station and a shoppers' car park featuring 280 spaces.
The supermarket is expected to create about 300 full and part-time jobs.
The exhibition will take place at Wallingford Methodist Church Hall in St Leonard's Square on Friday, September 14, from noon until 6.30pm, and at Centre 70 in Kinecroft on Saturday, September 15, from 11am to 5pm.
Morrisons bosses say there are no artists' impressions yet of what the store would look like but they will be available at the exhibition.
Morrisons development executive Andrew Birtwhistle said: "Getting the public's feedback, opinions and ideas is a crucial part of the development process."

Hi all,
I'm using SilverStripe 2.4.7, trying to customize the TinyMCE menu bar.
There's a way to
1. use Style Formats? http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:style_formats
2. style the dropdown items to reflect what will appear in the editor? So "Header 1" text is bigger than the "Header 2" in the dropdown, ecc.
For the first question I've tryed adding
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('style_formats',"[{title : 'Red text', inline : 'span', styles : {color : '#ff0000'}]");
in the _config.php but with no success.
Thanks in advance

After a strong start to the season, the Saugus softball team finally cracked the CIF-Southern Section Division I poll on Monday.
On Thursday, the Centurions bolstered their new ranking.
Alana Layton outdueled West Ranch starter Bailey Foster, and No. 10 Saugus capitalized on a pair of West Ranch miscues to win 1-0 in the championship game of the High Desert Classic at Central Park.
The game was originally scheduled for March 21 but was postponed due to rain.
"Every game we play, our confidence goes up," said Centurions head coach Julie Watson. "We are playing well right now. If we continue to play the way we're playing, good things should happen in league."
The same goes for Layton, who threw a complete-game shutout with four strikeouts.
The Centurions (13-1) jumped ahead of West Ranch (10-2) in the sixth inning after shortstop Jenna Kelly drew a walk. A pickoff attempt to first went behind the first baseman allowing pinch runner Brea Bregara to advance to second.
Alyssa Rodriguez made sure Saugus cashed in when she hit a chopper to third base. The ball wasn't fielded cleanly, and Rodriguez beat out the throw, while the speedy Bregara came around to score.
"We made the one mistake, and they didn't," said West Ranch head coach Bob Shults. "They are very well-coached, Saugus. They have all the players. They have all the players in the right spots. They are going to be tough to beat. They are going to go very far into the playoffs."
Layton was calm the rest of the way.
The Centurions had a chance to blow the game open in the fourth inning with two outs and the bases loaded and hard-hitting catcher Ashley Butera at the plate.
Butera sent the ball to deep center field, but Wildcats freshman Lauren Lindvall ran under it, and was able to make the catch.
Foster also had a standout day in the circle. The junior recorded seven strikeouts while allowing four hits and five walks through six innings.
Both Foster and Layton were named to the all-tournament team, while Kelly was named the MVP of the four-game tourney.
Kelly finished 1-for-1 on Thursday with a pair of walks. Saugus' Emi Shimamoto was 1-for-3 and Christen Clark was 2-for-3.
Butera and teammate Sara Shier were also named to the all-tournament team, while Janelle Lindvall, who was 2-for-2 Thursday, and Kylie Sorenson got the nod from West Ranch.
