If you're anything like me, you may have a hard time committing to a hairstyle other than the one you've been rocking for a while now. There's just something about the ease of your go-to style that makes branching out a nerve-racking endeavor. Even so, hair metamorphosis is invigorating and can make you feel like a brand new woman ready to take on the world — or at least the neighborhood.
While women with short hair may easily employ the use of extensions, those with longer locks believe the only way to go shorter is to introduce their hair to a pair of cutting sheers.
Not true.
Thanks to the "faux bob," long and medium haired ladies who've contemplated a cropped do can now give the style a test run. Putting together one of these looks below is usually an easy process of taking some bobby pins and securing them in strategic places throughout the hair.
Voluminous Side Part Curls
Using just enough hairspray, a glamorous vintage look like this will give you the confidence to show off everywhere you go. There's not better way to wear this than pairing it with the loveliest deep red shade.
Modern Neck-Length with Side Bangs
Q&A with style creator, Samantha Christopher
Stylist / Owner @ Bloom Color Lounge in Casa Grande, AZ
How would you describe this look?
I'd like to think of it as modern and youthful. Overall, it softens her look with the piecey texture and playful ends, which allow her to have a more 'lived in' look. The bit of length we added will definitely give her more styling options.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look is the best option for someone looking to grow out their hair and jump past the awkward growing out stage! There are a couple of things to consider if you feel this look is for you:
Being aware of the upkeep is definitely the most important. I utilized tape in extensions which, on her short hair length, have to be maintained every 4-6 weeks to avoid breakage or damage to the hair.
Products are also key to keeping the hair extensions in optimum condition. Extensions need to maintain moisture as they easily tangle if not taken care of and to avoid looking dry and brittle. I love to recommend the Smooth Infusion line from Aveda for at-home maintenance.
Soft Shoulder Length
Q&A with style creator, Debby Sprankle
Stylist @ Exhale…A Salon in Southern Pines, NC
How would you describe this look?
I love this look because who doesn't love changing their look every once in a while without loosing length?! It's modern with edge and versatility. It's fun and has movement a great style option for 2nd-day hair… to add a little sass to your look!
Any advice for someone considering it?
This style is super versatile: great for clients on-the-go and it can be dressed up for a more elegant look.
I would recommend this style to clients that have medium to longer length hair, with medium to thick abundance.
This style can be worn with any face shape as long as you are aware of where it's falling in length.
For this look, we simply put the length of her hair into her sweater and slightly ruched it up. If you want to wear this look as a style, I would recommend barrel rolling the hair under, starting from the ends. Roll up to the nape of the neck (or desired length), and pin in place.
As always, the right products can help achieve the look you're going for. I used Keune Thermal Cream for shine and smoothness, ColorProof Power Sculpt Gel for hold and body, and finished with my favorite medium hold hairspray, Keune High Society.
Accessorized Headband
Q&A with style creator, Casey Ione Lee
Beauty Advisor @ Priceline in Melbourne, VIC
How would you describe this look?
It's a very vintage look but can definitely become a more modern look by using a different headpiece! I love that you can easily have a short bob haircut without opting for the scissors!
Any advice for someone considering it?
It's a little hard with a client that has very long, thick hair but still achievable! By braiding most of the hair underneath to the head, it eliminates the need to cram all the hair together and also makes it easier to pin the hair neatly to the head. Hairspray is always essential and plenty of bobby pins! I used a work in spray while curling the hair to help the curls stay in better as well!
Softly Swept
Q&A with style creator, Tiffany Barrios
Stylist @ Ginger Rubio Salon in San Francisco, CA
How would you describe this look?
This was inspired by the 1920's. My favorite thing about it is how the soft waves effortlessly flow through the hair from beginning to end.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This type of style is not low-maintenance. It's a great look for a night out, a wedding, or maybe an adventure to a themed speakeasy? (Shh!)
To create something like this you would need a good foundation. I used B&b styling cream at the roots, and thickening hairspray on the ends before blow-drying, to create volume and hold. I used a 1″ wide curling iron and set the curls with pins. Backcombing for this style is necessary to hold in the pins for all the length I've hidden. I finished it with B&B Does It All hairspray.
Anyone could pull off this look with the right outfit!
Q&A with style creator, Krystal Replogle
Colorist / Stylist @ Atelier Salon in Indianapolis, IN
How would you describe this look?
This look allows you to change your look and have some versatility without having to commit to shorter hair. My passion lies in making this look soft and effortless, so it appears as though the hair just naturally falls into place.
Any advice for someone considering it?
When styling a look like this remember to have enough length to tuck and bobby-pin to style and roll under. Practice holding your hair up to the desired length and then loosen your grip to create a "natural fall." The goal is to appear effortless so allow some pieces to remain loose at the front.
I love using a 3/4 Inch iron to create loose waves prior to pinning up, the extra texture gives a more polished look.
Oribe Free Styler working spray is hands down my favorite hairspray because it allows you to continue to mold and shape this look while keeping it touchable. This style is best suited for casual days all the way to glam events and can be polished with a stunning hairpiece. It's one of my favorite looks to create!
Fine Illusion
Q&A with style creator, Kelley Brandon
Hairstylist @ Salon Canvas & Bridal in Atlanta, GA
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this style as the perfect look for those wanting to mimic a real bob without having to cut their hair or buy a wig! My favorite thing about it is that it gives the illusion of shorter hair.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My advice is to consider the texture of the hair. The model in the pic has fine hair, so tighter curls were needed to hold the style. Density of the hair also plays an important role. The less density the person has in their hair, the more curls are needed. The more density the person has, the fewer curls are needed.
I also like to work with a dr, working hairspray like KMS California Working Spray when curling the hair and a firm hairspray like Sebastian Shaper Fierce when finishing the style. This particular look was achieved by curling the hair first and pinning it to let it set. After the hair is cooled, brush out the curls to achieve more of a wave and tuck/pin the hair underneath.
Reversible Style Reinvention
Q&A with style creator, Jacob James
Creative Director @ Artisté in Manchester, UK
How would you describe this look?
I would describe this Artisté look as "reversible style reinvention". The idea behind creating "Faux Naturel" for Artisté is to make women feel empowered, giving them a complete transformation whilst keeping their everyday style and identity safe.
My favorite thing about the look is the new found confidence that such a dramatic image change can bring.
Any advice for someone considering it?
My advice for anyone wanting to try this look is to go for it. What have you got to lose? The beauty of it is its versatility. You're able to choose the length you want and tailor it to suit any face shape.
Creating the look yourself is definitely for those who don't mind taking the time to style their hair (and spending some time to take it out after), and are a bit hair savvy when it comes to things such as curling, backcombing, and pinning to create shape. This is one of the reasons I wanted to include it in the Artisté menu of looks, so women have the option of an expert stylist creating the ideal version of the look for them.
When creating this look, we curled the hair first to add texture and backcombed volume into the root to avoid it looking flat to give a more convincing bob-like shape. I also find it is more flattering when the hair is parted to the side, unless you have a full fringe/middle parted bangs and would feel more comfortable with a middle part. This is definitely a show-stopping, glamorous look when worn with attitude to back it up.
Chic & Wavy
Q&A with style creator, Jaclynn Kate
Hair & Make-up Artist / Owner @ Jaclynn Kate Hair Makeup Salon in East Greenwich, RI
How would you describe this look?
This look is chic and textured.
My favorite thing about this look is how you can really dress it up for special occasions like a wedding or an outing with friends, or you can wear this as a day to say style to work. Its sleek waves allow light to transfer and peek with dimension.
Any advice for someone considering it?
Clients considering this look should take into consideration the amount of time that goes into styling it.
To achieve this look you will need a 1-inch wand, hair clips, and hairspray. Taking small 1 1/2-inch subsections and starting at the nape of the neck and working up to the top of the head, you want to spay the hair and then wrap it around your wand. Don't touch the curl until it has cooled. Gently run your fingers through the curls for a loose look.
If you're a wash and go kind of gal, this look isn't for you as it takes some time. However, what is great about this look is that it goes with all face shapes!
Effortless & Universal A-Line
Q&A with style creator, Meg Maenius
Hair & Make Up Artist @ Salon 508 in Richardson, TX
How would you describe this look?
This is totally for the girl who wants to change up her look without making a huge commitment. It's in the name, right? Faux! Yes, please!
Have a weird crease in your hair from a ponytail holder after leaving the gym? Just tuck and pin that part up. Problem solved! It's so versatile and I believe it can suit many different personalities. Just have fun and try not to worry about it being perfect!
Any advice for someone considering it?
I love this style because you can really make it your own. By starting off with textured waves, you create the edgy look pictured here. This would be a really good option for someone with lots of layers and texture in their haircut. If you want a more sleek style, opt for the round brush or flat iron instead and try a deeper set part!
This look is also perfect for those girls with longer layers or those with hair that struggles to hold curl. If you have longer hair, try braiding the longest layer of your hair and pinning it as close to your head as possible to minimize the tucked portion in the back! This also gives you a nice cushion for all of the bobby pins.
My go-to products for this style are Kenra Professional Dry Volume Spray, Puff Me Volumizing Powder, and Oribe Split End Seal. Oh and lots of bobby pins!
Timeless & Elegant
Q&A with style creator, Brooke Mann
Creative Director / Senior Stylist / Colourist @ Hare & Hunter in Remuera, Auckland
How would you describe this look?
This is timeless and elegant. I love period hairstyles and being able to create this look without committing to an actual bob is amazing!
My favorite thing about doing this is making my clients look and feel like they've stepped out of The Great Gatsby.
Any advice for someone considering it?
The products I used to create this were Kevin Murphy Bedroom.Hair, Davines Texture Dust, and Sebastian Zero Gravity hairspray. I also used my GHD iron to curl the hair first.
Even with amazing products and a very tight curl as your foundation, on the day of your event, I would always take the elements into consideration. If it's raining, will your hair hold the curl? Will it fuzz in the humidity? Is it super windy? If your hair is prone to dropping, you could attempt the look in a straight version. Whichever approach you choose, just make sure you have a secure base at the bottom of the neck to allow for the pinning of your long hair.
I like to create my base by sectioning the hair from ear to ear across the crown area. I section all of the top hair away and plait the bottom section left out. I roll the plait under and pin it into a roll shape across the bottom of the nape. This creates a secure base to pin all of the length from the top section.
The 1950s Meets Modern Day
Q&A with style creator, Noelle A. Kabus
Licensed Cosmetologist @ Bellezza Salon in Warren, NJ
How would you describe this look?
I would probably describe this look as the 1950s meets modern day. It is like a modern-day pin-up girl/beach bum. You can't go wrong with the classics!
Any advice for someone considering it?
My model had a VERY full head of thick, frizzy, and wavy hair, so to cut down some of that I had to braid her hair into an S pattern from the nape of her neck to about mid-ear. That still left me with a ton of hair. With that in mind, if a client has a lot of thick and frizzy hair, this may not be the style for them. I recommend that this type of updo be done on second-day hair because clean hair may make it a little difficult to manipulate.
You can achieve these curls by using a Marcel iron to curl the hair and pin it in sections. For curling, use a low-hold flexible hairspray. You want to be able to manipulate the curls and a firmer hold spray will make this harder. The curls can also be done using hot rollers. Let the curls cool before letting them down.
Forming the shape is very flexible and you can be really creative with this part. I took my curls down and twisted them, pulling on the sides to loosen the twist before pinning them in. I changed the direction of the twists to mirror how our natural hair sometimes takes on its own patterns because I wanted this to look as natural as possible.
You can make this look appeal to all face shapes and appearances. You can add "bangs" for longer foreheads, or volume on top for rounder faces. You can make it drastically longer in the front for the more adventurous client, or make it closer to one length for someone more conservative that is looking for a truly natural look. You can add volume by keeping the curls bigger, or you can make it more sleek by smoothing out the curls.
I opted to give my client a side-swept bang and a beachy look to bring sexy beach waves to an old classic. For a more natural look, I would lay off the product a bit and finish with a firm hold hairspray and a pomade if needed. Happy styling!
The 1940's Fashion Flapper
Q&A with style creator, Janan Delly
Owner @ J Dell Hair Studio in Shelby Charter Township, MI
How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it?
This 40s flapper look is very classic, glam and chic. What I love about this look is that it makes her look sexy & sophisticated, all in one look!
What products do you recommend to maintain and recreate this look?
I used a styling product to blow dry her hair and then just some hairspray after I curled.
What type of client would you recommend this look for?
This look is great for many types of people because it can look so classy on any age. It makes the more mature clients look sexy and the younger ones more sophisticated. This is a great look for special occasions and weddings.
The best type of hair for this look is medium texture and medium thickness. It works great with thick hair also, but would just need more control. It does not work so well with thinner hair because it would make it look too flat and would not be able to achieve enough definition.
Overall, it's a great look for everyone that wants to get some attention. The waves are very sexy and very flattering!
Bethan's Wrapped Tutorial
Bethany from Treasures and Travels by Kalos says she often goes back and forth on the idea of chopping her hair off, as well. Her solution, naturally, is to do a quick hair tuck instead of taking the short-hair plunge.
Her tutorial is basic and works best on those with layered hair. First, put the ends of your hair into a loose ponytail, then tuck it under toward your neck and secure with bobby pins. Voila: a shoulder-length bob in under five minutes.
Body & Waves Tutorial
If you want body and waves, take your cue from Chanel Drror's tutorial at Camille Styles. She transforms long, curled locks into an above-the-shoulder curly bob by pinning small sections at a time. The result? A believable look that'll make people think you just paid a visit to your stylist.
Tutorial for Very Long Hair
For those worried their hair is just too long for this style, fear not. CristopheSalon demonstrates the look on a woman with hair all the way down to the middle of her back. As you can see from the tutorial, women with longer hair will just have more volume compared to those with a shorter coiffure. This particular look has a super glossy and polished finish — perfect for the office.
Romantic Evening Out Tutorial
Lastly, for a glammified version, check out YouTube user Lily Melrose's "Romantic Faux Bob" look. She takes the time to curl hair before combing it out and then teases it at the ends to help create a more flattering shape. She also adds a bit of sparkle with a hair pin for a party-perfect touch.

Issue 45 (2014)
Vladlen Barbe: The Seal of King Solomon (Pechat' tsaria Solomona, 2013)
reviewed by Mieka Erley© 2014
The Seal of King Solomon is the latest animated feature by Vladlen Barbe, a veteran of Soviet animation who, over the last decade, has moved from analog films to the direction and management of CGI features, including most recently The Snow Queen (Snezhnaia koroleva, 2012), a film that, although profitable, met with chilly critical reception outside of Russia. Barbe's newest effort revives a project initiated over a decade ago, based on a script by the action film director Aleksandr Atanesyan, known for such films as Bastards (Svolochi, 2006) and Close Enemy (Blizkii vrag, 2010).
Atanesyan's script makes a post-modern hash of canonical narratives, inexplicably fusing the tale of Solomon's ring with "the fantastic adventures of Huckleberry Finn and his friends." The story opens in Gehenna in 925 BC, when King Solomon uses his ring to trap the mischievous genie Yusuf in an amphora that is then hurtled into space by the enslaved demon Kishkash. Yusuf plummets down into St. Louis of 1865, sweeps up Huckleberry and his friends (Jim and two Missouri bandits, one of whom bears an uncanny resemblance to Crispin Glover), and deposits them all in the Moscow of 2012, where they meet a Russian girl who, in another anachronism, still rollerblades. Mayhem ensues when the bandits team up with a tattooed, alcoholic Russian criminal to steal Solomon's ring (now, of all places, enshrined in a Moscow museum alongside an exhibit on American slavery), summoning the demon Kishkash to abet them in small-time crime. In this Bulgakovian set-up, demon and genie romp across Moscow for the next 60 minutes of the film, giving animators the chance to imagine a variety of city scenes: our characters ride on a Ferris wheel, drive bumper cars, stroll the banks of the Moscow River, and venture into a movie theater where they watch the classic silent film The Great Train Robbery rendered, tongue-in-cheek, in the "outmoded" style of cel animation. Some of the landscapes, backdrops, and set pieces in this Moscow fantasia are the most satisfying features of the film aesthetically, consistently better imagined and rendered than the 3D characters.
Responsibility for the failure of the animated characters rests with both scriptwriter and director. Not only are the characters visually flat and awkwardly animated, they are also devoid of personality, a problem that is compounded by the lack of narrative motivation as the film spins out into a series of attractions. Atanesyan's choice to cast Huckleberry Finn as the plucky "unmarked" adolescent male hero is frankly quixotic given the complexity of the original story and, in particular, of the relationship between Huck and Jim. Here, Jim figures as a simple and occasionally comical sidekick, afforded a few repetitive lines ("I was so scared" is his refrain). In a scene certain to make the average American cringe, the hunched old slave spontaneously grooves to a hip-hop video on Russian TV, noting that it "reminds him of the voice of his ancestors." The theme of slavery is confusingly mirrored in Jim's counterparts, Yusuf and Kishkash, themselves enslaved by Solomon (Kishkash asserts that he is "the slave of the ring of terror"). Brown-skinned, turban-wearing Yusuf is sketched in a conventionally Orientalist manner that, aside from inducing the usual discomfort, brings in complicated associations with Russia's "own Orientals" from Central Asia, many of whom form a shadow population of migrant laborers throughout contemporary Moscow. Indeed, it would appear that the two stories have more in common than we might have thought, although it's not clear that Atanesyan has any control over this meaning. The tale concludes with the successful subordination of both demon and genie and the return of the ring to the autocrat.
Will children pick up on these things? How should they feel when a Russian SWAT team is dispatched to GUM to apprehend Kishkash and friends? Will they notice that, when Huckleberry and his friends are discussing what to do about the ring, Jim, the runaway slave, speaks up for property rights and urges them to "return the property to its master"? Atanesyan and Barbe seem unconcerned. Responding to questions about his previous film, Barbe noted that "children, unlike critics, do not ask these questions" (Tereshchenko 2012).
Just as eclectic and vertiginous as Atanesyan's script is the visual style of the film. Among the disconcerting artistic effects is the "flattening" of the 3D characters (called "toon shading" or "cel shading"), designed to give a first impression of hand-drawn animation. The effect does not appear to have been applied consistently to all characters: Yusuf, for example, remains slick and dimensional whereas the SWAT team are so cartoony that they appear to have wandered in from an Inspector Gadget episode (apparently signaling that state violence can be friendly). Painterly 2D backgrounds (often attractive) sit uneasily behind clumsy CGI graphics and characters (often unattractive). In a scene in which Yusuf conjures an Oriental-style banquet, the food is rendered in hyper-real 3D, clashing against the flat, "toon shaded" characters. While in theory this may seem like a good way to mark the difference between the real and the fantastic, the effect induces motion sickness in the context of so many unmotivated inconsistencies of style.
Finally, the animators do not appear to have fully mastered the physics of their animated world. Objects appear to float, failing to give the illusion of mass; shadows do not appear linked to actual objects in space; motion—particularly walking and talking—is jerky and unconvincing (imagine everyone doing Monty Python funny walks). The result of all this is a vertiginously animated universe that remakes physical law and visual perception anew in every frame. I'd like to think this was an enlightened comment on the epistemology of vision (we might think here of Richard Linklater's Waking Life), but more likely it reflects the economic and aesthetic pressures that bore on decision-making processes in the animation studio. Barbe has stated that the director should not have to "change the diapers" of his animation staff (Tereshchenko 2012). If no one changes the diapers, however, something will inevitably begin to stink. In the brave new world of CGI, it is the ultimate responsibility of the director to synthesize the work of dozens of animators and artists, and, in a less tangible way, to provide heart and soul to the machine. If the director has no vision to inform this slavish engine of fantasy, we are left with the soulless residue of computation: animation made by machines for machines.

Recently, people started posting pictures of a child kidnapped and smuggled in a cardboard box. According to them, the child was being smuggled from Malaysia to Thailand, and the perpetrators were caught at Bukit Kayu Hitam border checkpoint. Horrifying, isn't it?
Needless to say, it went viral. Tens of thousands of people shared it out – all horrified about the cruelty of sedating, and binding up a child like that to be smuggled across the border. Many even recounted the tales of how these kids are then amputated and made to beg for their "masters", or sold as sex slaves, in beautiful Thailand.
Updated @ 2016-08-01 : There is a new version of the hoax being shared on WhatsApp. Here is the edited version :
Reminder to all ……… today Merciful God has shown good lesson to us all…. my friend lost her daughter 1 week ago and this afternoon, she was found in Bukit Kayu Hitam….
The police stopped a lorry carrying chickens….. On the lorry, there were 6 kids. 3 of them still unable to talk.
They were injected with a substance and were to be exported to Thailand where they will be killed for their organs. They were each packed in boxes and placed in the center of the lorry.
The lorry was carrying chicken and the stuffed boxes with the children hidden in the middle.
Driver was a Malay man and truck owner Chinese. Please ensure safety for our children. Do not let them wander far from you.
Updated @ 2016-11-09 : Here is a new version that is now circulating on WhatsApp. Note how the story stayed the same even, though the picture was changed to show two dead children.
Like many things being shared by "concerned netizens" on the Internet, both warnings are not true, of course…
This Child Was NOT Kidnapped Or Smuggled In A Cardboard Box
Big surprise. Yet another Internet hoax. If I get a cent for every hoax that comes along… Oh well, you can always click on our ads. 😀
Seriously though, this child was NOT, repeat… NOT kidnapped or smuggled in a cardboard box into Thailand to be sold as a sex slave or a beggar; or harvested for her organs.
Just because some person on the Internet said so, does not mean it's true.
Are You Saying Those Photos Are Fake?
Sadly, no. Those photos are real. But the child was not kidnapped, or being smuggled in a cardboard box into Thailand.
In fact, the photos were not even taken in Malaysia or Thailand, but in Indonesia. You can actually tell that from the pictures being shared on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp.
Eagle-eyed pundits may notice that there is an Indomie noodle packet in some of the pictures. But that brand is available in Malaysia, so it's not indicative of a location.
The cardboard box itself though is the real clue. It has a prominent name – SanQua. SanQua is an Indonesian brand of bottled water produced by PT. Tirta Mas Perkasa. It is not sold in Malaysia or Thailand, only in Indonesia.
The girl was not rescued from a failed kidnapping and smuggling attempt. She's dead. The cardboard box was an attempt to hide her body from discovery. In fact, if you inspect the pictures, you can see rubbish (like that Indomie noodle packet) surrounding the box.
Her story is tragic, and disturbing. If you have the stomach for it, you can read our story on her case. If not, just take it from me – these are NOT pictures of a girl who was kidnapped and smuggled in a cardboard box to become a beggar or sex slave, or an organ donor.
If you see anyone sharing this hoax, please tell them to STOP!
Show Putri and her family some respect!

make hardcore mode ricochet.reasons.1.people running in front of me when im shooting at enemy.2.uncontrolled airstrikes.3.getting shot when trying to toss grenade.4.when enemy is taking A B or C in dom and you through a grenade and ateammate runs in.
I used to like ricochet but not so sure now. Everytime some tryhard runs in front and gets shot I'd rather he died instead of me. I don't mind getting kicked from those games so much because chances are they'll lose the game for everyone anyway.
I prefer ricochet, only because being kicked out of games is just plain wrong. If I screw up in-game, then punish me in-game. Don't "send me to my room" like a upset parent. I paid for the game, let me play, and let me make mistakes if that's my thing.
I have a recorded video clip....I was using an LMG with extended mag and escalation (refills your mag on multikills) on Shipment. I was laying into the other team as they were zerging out of their spawn. I was off to the side, shooting along the edge of the map. Had like 3-4 kills in the same long burst, and was keeping newly spawned guys pinned down.
A guy on my team ran directly into my firing line about a meter in front of me.....3 TIMES IN A ROW all during my same clip. He respawned right next to me and just did it again and again. It's almost as if he was trying. I got 3 headshots on him and it sent me packing.
If you're going to be an idiot, I shouldn't have to pay the price.
And I fully expect a few replies saying that I need to change my tactics, because getting kicked is a part of hardcore, and it's been that way since 1972 etc etc. I admit, that's a perfectly legit opinion to have, so let's not get carried away here...
i only ever play hardcore used to be hardcore dom exclusive but i got so sick of there dumbass team killing rule i switched to ffa and its much more enjoyable i camp spawntrap plant bettys best fun there is outside of sex

And the beat goes on…
November 17, 2009
We lost a friend a few days ago to complications after childbirth. Who knew that still happened? I had heard of those cases in modern times, but it still doesn't seem real that it happened to my uber-fit friend who had such a healthy and smooth pregnancy.
I love this friend and her whole family. Watching them begin to live with this void breaks my heart. How do you help when you can't do the one thing everyone wants? Fix it. That cannot be done.
Every day since she passed, my children still get up to play and go to school, most of the people who knew her get up and go to work or whatever it is they get up and go do. And her husband and his family get up at all hours to care for his new daughter. All of her family will eventually have to return to life and learn to live it without her. I know they wonder how they will.
Tragedies happen every day to someone. And the white noise of life continues skipping small beats. But a small beat to the world is life grinding to a halt for a few.
I have always believed that life is for the living, that those of us who get to stick around should live life more fully on behalf of those who are not so lucky. In time I will try to do that, remembering her and others I've lost over the years. But I think it's going to feel very wrong.
By the way, her organs were donated and her hair donated to Locks of Love. That was possible because her family knew she would want that done. Please make sure your loved ones know your wishes, too.

The first week of H807 has been concerned with the concept of innovation. Some interesting ideas have been put forward on the tutor group forum, and it has occurred to me that the whole concept of innovation is very relevant in my current context. I'll come back to that shortly, but first a summary of the points I have gleaned from the forum, with acknowledgement to the members of my tutor group:
- Innovation can be interpreted both as the implementation of something completely new and as the application of existing ideas in a new setting.
- Innovation is, to some extent, context-dependent, i.e. something which is deemed innovative in one setting may be considered standard practice in another.
- The promotion of elearning as an innovation purely on the grounds of cost effective delivery does not necessarily mean that the innovation is, or will be, successful.
- The best innovations meet a genuine need – there is little point in innovation if it isn't useful. In an educational context, for example, an innovation might be considered successful if it makes learning more interesting, or more exciting, or more flexible, or more collaborative.
- Many educational innovations emerge from the 'chalk face', and are reliant on the enthusiasm and imagination of educators who can directly recognise the potential benefits of them.
- When educational innovations are designed and implemented, the learner's perspective must be at the forefront. This means considering both the direct benefits which the learner will gain from the innovation, and the investment of time and resources required on the part of the learner in order to realise those benefits.
- As a concept, innovation is generally viewed in positive terms. However, innovation can also be disruptive – it is often associated with change and in many organisations there is an inherent resistance to change.
- Most large organisations, including universities, are not really conducive to innovation because they are constrained by bureaucracy and regulations, and don't always have the necessary infrastructure. Promoting a culture of innovation requires a commitment on the part of the organisation to invest in the necessary time and resources to achieve it. Some large organisations (such as Google) do actually achieve this.
- The resistance to change which is inherent in many universities, occurs both on the part of academic staff and on the part of students. Some academic staff, for a variety of reasons (some of which are perfectly understandable) do not recognise the potential benefits which innovative approaches could bring to students' learning experiences. In addition, some students are equally reluctant to adopt new approaches to learning.
- Innovations often arise out of crises – as the saying goes: "Necessity is the mother of invention".
So – that brings me to my own context at my university. As most people will be aware, the proposed new funding arrangements for higher education are going to create an extremely challenging environment over the next few years, though no one is really sure exactly what the impact will be. In response to this, the Dean of our school instigated a school-wide review exercise over two days last month in which all staff were required to participate. One of the exercises involved being split into groups and asked to come up with new ideas (innovations?) to respond to the challenges we faced. I gave the report-back presentation from our group to the rest of the school and one of the key things which I suggested was that each module should become a self-contained learning package which would continue to be delivered face-to-face but would be supported with greater use of online resources. I wasn't proposing a move towards distance education, but simply the use of technology to provide greater flexibility of access for our students. I argued that the 'learning package' approach would enable prospective students to decide for themselves how many modules they wanted to commit to in any one year, rather than being forced into a rigid programme of study designed to suit the university. Judging by the response I got from some staff, anyone would have thought I was Nick Clegg turning up at a students' rally! I stood and took flak from across the school as I defended the idea and emphasised the potential benefits, but it was clear that there would be major resistance to such a move from a significant proportion of staff within the school.
So will this "innovation" ever see the light of day? I'm not sure. From comments I received afterwards, it is apparent that not all staff are opposed to it. It is possible that when the real implications of the new funding arrangements become apparent maybe colleagues will view things in a different light. As it happens the courses for which I am responsible are currently undergoing their periodic review, so the course team has an opportunity to implement some changes anyway. I think all we can do for the moment is to ensure that our courses are structured in such a way that a move towards a new delivery mode could be implemented with minimum disruption.

A claim made by Kenny MacAskill, Scotland's Justice Secretary, that law schools north of the border are putting their interests above those of their students has been dismissed as "ill-informed" by Scottish academics.
Minutes from a meeting between Mr MacAskill and the Law Society of Scotland, released under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal that just one in four law graduates in the country find a job in the profession.
The figures prompted the minister to attack universities for continuing to offer so many law places despite a dearth of jobs and training contracts in the sector. Last year, 700 LLB graduates with a diploma in legal practice fought for 592 training places in Scotland. This year, the number of contracts is expected to be lower still.
The minutes of the meeting say: "[Mr MacAskill] was unimpressed by the attitude of those involved in the training of new solicitors and felt that education was currently driven by the needs of the universities rather than the needs of the students.
"There was a discussion about how universities should be listening to the profession and shouldn't be raising students' hopes and dreams in the current economic climate."
Academics have hit back at the minister, who is himself a lawyer, claiming that he has misunderstood the purpose of a law degree.
Ken Swinton, convenor of the Committee of Heads of Scottish Law Schools, said law degrees were never designed to be purely vocational, but taught students transferable skills.
"They offer a broad range of subjects in the liberal-arts tradition," he said. "For many years, an increasing number of law graduates have gone on to pursue worthwhile jobs other than as solicitors or advocates."
He rejected Mr MacAskill's claims that universities are focusing on their own needs by recruiting more students than can reasonably find work post-graduation. As government funding for each student is the same across the social sciences, there is no incentive to lure students into law rather than another discipline, he said.
"There is no guarantee that any graduate will find work in a particular profession, and this is made clear to students from the time they enter the programmes offered by all institutions. We sympathise with those graduates who are presently unable to fulfil their aspirations, but this is a particularly difficult time for graduates of all disciplines."

Everytime I hear of developers from former mega studios banding together to form a new development studio of their own I get pretty excited. Experienced minds in a new setting can bring about all sorts of wonderful innovations. Of course, it can also mean more of the same, but repackaged to appear "new".
In the case of Molten Games, lets hope its more of the former. The San Diego, California based studio is comprised of a collection of executives from Blizzard, Sony Online and Relic Entertainment. Of course, all development studios need funding and Molten Games has secured this in spades thanks to a multimillion-dollar investment from NCSoft.
NCSoft appears to be taking a hands off approach when it comes to the developer/publisher relationship. Free from publisher restrictions and with pockets full of cash, the Molten Games team is confident they can create an unparalleled experience which puts the gameplay first and foremost:
"We created Molten Games in order to truly have control over our game development and IP, and we're going to create something epic," said Jungwon Hahn, CEO of Molten Games. "Our team understands not only the creation of online games, but the ongoing management of them, better than anyone else in the industry. As we continue to build our team and work on our initial product, gameplay and player experience is going to come first with every decision."
While still unannounced, we do know Molten Games' first title will be a triple-A free-to-play MMORPG, with more information to be released at a later date.
Does news of this new studio perk your interest?

I -want- to expect good things but I just can't. Call me jaded but we haven't seen any sort of meaningful innovation in online games for years. It's always more of the same. Shinier graphics, same standard systems.
Basically, I will believe it when I see it and not before.
I am surprised that its a free to play game cause blizzard loves the
monthly payment system,so I am not a fan of blizzard.
The main problem with Triple A games is that the games either go two ways. A worldwide hit…or rock bottom. NEVER in between.
Nice name. It's like a parody of Blizzard.
Why do people keep talking about Blizzard? It's an agreement between 3 companies, not just Blizzard, geez. Also Blizzard sucks people, they don't make any good games for years now.
Relic and SOE are great at FPS games, Blizzard is great at making crap, we might see something decent come out. I'll keep an eye, but not expecting much.
Perfect world is probably one the th best Free to play titles constantly updated and expanded
People for 3 different top developer studios, multimillion dollar investment, Know How to create AND manage a game, gameplay and player experience comes first and AAA-F2P-Games.
Sounds GOOD for me, so far!
This could be bad or Good … lets see what happens.
what does " triple-a " mean? is it something about F2P's cash options?
BTW, not sure how it'll go, since they DO have good developers but also DO come from some greedy companies.
Depends, good game but possibly P2W? (guess we'll have to wait and see what kind of game they're making)
A Triple A game (AAA) are games that we're developed with a significantly large budget. The game generally reviews well, since the developers put a lot of emphasis in Gameplay, Presentation, Story, Graphics, and / or Online. Acceptable Audio, Pacing, Set pieces and Thrills must be available as well. That is the foundation of a Triple A game, while this next part is highly subjective among gamers. The games generally goes on to review well scoring 8+/10 and averaging a score of 88+/100 on metacritic. The game generally receive large to massive amounts of hype and gaming websites, and goes on to sale 1+ million copies.
yes but ncsfot pay to win lovers like perfect world -_-
After doing some research on the official website. I found out that the are looking for a technical director. The interesting part is that under the Qualifications is listed the following "Must have shipped at least one AAA online multiplayer game (preferably a FPS or MOBA) in a Technical Director capacity from concept to release." So we can assume that they are making something along the lines of either a FPS or a MOBA.
Also important to know they seem to be using unreal engine and scrum. Would be pleased to discuss more speculations with you guys. If you find something out we could possibly start a forum thread !
Maybe they just want ppl from every game type like blizzard did the rpg stuff and relic like the stratagie game and now they want or need someone that knows a lot about moba and fps, or they want to create something that should gotta be a esport thing and want someone that knows about the balancing in for the moba stuff to have someone that will look from a other side.
I hope it wont be another Moba!
blizzard sucks ballsack since activision has owned them.
kinda excited to what kind of MMO there gonna make…
I know this will never ever, ever happen, But could you imagine it.. SOE's StarWars Galaxies redone in a Blizzard fashion? =3
Relic? Blizzard? Would be awesome seeing something like a Starcraft/Warhammer 40k based mmo (it can have different stuff if they don't get permission or don't wanna buy rights) but would still be awesome.
holy omg yeah anything 40k related like dawn of war! I'd love if a warcraft 3 ever came out, but I guess that isn't happening anytime soon, but these guys can do it id bet. warcraft 3 in the future!which is basically what 40k is, just not as jovial…..get on it new guys! b4 my old hands get too carpal-tunnelly!
There is a warcraft 3, it was release July 3rd, 2002. Also Starcraft drew many inspirations from 40k, Terran = Space Marines, Zerg = Tyrannids and Protoss = Eldar
I really like Starcraft and I knew it had inspirations on the Warhammer 40k, the main parts of its codex are pretty old (many people may not know that it is originally a tabletop wargame) but I just love the 40k Universe and just thinking a mmo with anything based on that give me the (good) shills. BURN THE HERETIC.
er warcraft 4 lol yeah.my point is that its been awhile.i like the fantasy setting better than starcraft .even though it may be all aesthetic, I also like the hero aspect of the 'craft.i wish I had gotten into it when it was all happening
Damn this is interesting. Hopefully they make something incredible.
blizard best
FIRST! blizzard is the best

Cooking dumplings is actually quite an art and I'll be the first to admit that because of cooking them so infrequently, I'm not as good at making them as my mom or grandpa are. Forming them properly so they keep their shape and being able to cook them is a little harder then you might think. The salt water to cook the formed dumplings in has to be just perfect. It has to be hot enough to cook them through, but it also can't boil or they will disintegrate, the water needs to be right around the simmer point and stay there with a consistent heat.

hi every body...
please help me....do you know how can i update the firmware of p990?? and exactly how's the proccess ??
should i get the service from the SE site ??
anyone can advice. this P990, the syncronize the data like pocket PC? means there will automatic syncronize all data like excel, word etc file. automatic add or deleted if u done something in PC.. now I m using palm treo650. it can't make it for add file, I had to ge to a program to manual add in for next syncronize..
just got rid of my p990. It was too big and cumbersome and was too unreliable. I could never count on it staying on for long enough to receive important calls. so i went back to Vodafone and switched it for a Samsung d900, which i'm thoroughly pleased with. It is a much better phone all round. I did like the features of the p990 but its bulk and the fact that it used too much battery, crashed a lot, was very slow and frustrating annoyed me. also the texting on the phone is not entirely intuitive and could not be used without looking at the screen all the time.
for stateofflux;
Hi I read your opinion the reason why I am sending you this mail. I've got the P990 and email works like charm just to let you know its only support POP3/IMAP4 and you can also download blackberry conect from
and it works fine again only support POP3/IMAP4 so I don't knw what server are you using. Regarding the Casing i must say it's much better than P900/P910i
Download Blackberry Connect From Here
*Only supports Firmware R7A001
Hi Guys if you want Blackberry Connect for your P990i here's the link but make sure your handset must have latest firmware R7A001 either go into
There are 2 ways to install one through your computer if you're using PC Suite or copy the sis file into your Memory Stick and go into Menu>ControlPanel>Other>Insall select memory stick and click on the application and it will download the application into your handset. But make sure you have Blackberry BES APN active on your sim card contact your service provider in UK Orange won't charge you anything extra just call them and say to them add Blackberry Apn and they'll do the FOC and for Orange Users go onto www.blackberry.orange.co.uk and register your account and start using blackberry for o2 users they might charge you adding blackberry apn's (I don't know know about vodafone/3G/t-mobile) but for o2 go onto www.o2email.co.uk register your device.
P.S. I've tried the Blackberry software on firmware R7A001 and it worked like charm.
Any queries you can contact me on my email email@example.com and I will more than happy to answer all you questions
Hi I bought my P990i 2 weeks ago from Carphone Warehouse and I must say its excellent. I was reading few opinion regarding restart/freezing issues. So just to let you know those are not the faults and I will tell you why the phone restart when you press anykey during a call.
If you've taken off the front keypad and if you switched on your handset and you want to make a phone call and you went straight into your phone book and e.g select a number in which you've to select more option as soon the call go through e.g Access Numbers or Bank Number and as soon you press any key from your qwerty keypad the phone will restart (its not a fault) reason why its doing that coz phone is on PDA mode to change it on phone mode as soon you restart your phone go straight into manual dial (Phone Icon) and come out and now try the same thing it won't restart or during the call touch the keypad on the screen and then select the option from qwerty keypad I hope that'll answer your query about phone restart.
2nd sometime when you switched off the handset it will restart automatically with sound of click. There are 2 ways to stop that 1st disable the Flight Mode go into menu>controlPanel>Device>FlightMode and untick the option or you want flight mode and if you're using handset without front keypad when ever you switch off your handset instead of press scroll or pressing ENTER key from keyboard just Tap the option Phone Off and phone will off and won't restart automatically. But if you press the ENTER key from the keypad or press scroll as soon the turn off the handset it will restart. Just to let you know I've tried above 2 things in 10 different handsets (P990i) as few of friends got it and my cousin works in Phone Shop so I can confirm its not a fault doesn't matter if the Phone made in France or any where else.
The other few reason phone restarting if too many applications open at the same time.
P990i no doubt good looking phone PDA.BUT with all negative openion - I am not buying it soon. Wait till one come in market fault free.
i just purchase P990. i tried to search games but i cannt able to find it. Kindly help me in this.......
Hey Guys,
I've never commented on this website before, and nor have I ever known this website existed until yesterday... I've been doing numerous research on the SE P990 and I've seen so many negative reviews about it. It got to the point where I actually didnt want to buy it anymore and considered many other phones. Anyway I finally got the phone today even though my gut feeling told me no.
Well I have to say, I really like it, at first it didnt really appeal to me, with the numerical keypad, and the interface wasnt well develop. After reading the manual and finding out it lets you have the option of keeping the keypad or taking it off. I sprung to action and took off that part. Have to say, Its a beauty without it. Interface is okay, Better then the 650 treo and 700. Overall I'm glad I made the right choice. I havent experience any bugs yet, sometimes it lags, and the opera browser isnt that great. But all in all it doest the job while offering a bundle of things, I say if you are already thinking of getting this phone then what are you waiting for!
p.s. Guys can anyone tell me if there is anyway to put your task as a desktop wallpaper, or show your task that you need done there.
Well, after three handsets I've decided to give up on the 990i. Maybe if the software/firmware improves then maybe I'll look again in a month or two.
Good luck guys.
I ordered my p990i from orange uk, its going to be delivered tomorrow, i will let you guys know as soon as a open it
Please asisst, Is it possible to take notes on the handset and later move them to P.C? Does the handset come with USB cable in the box? for how long can the handset voice record for and can it be used as a dictaphone?
Just received my P990i - so far so good, transferred my contact & message data from P900 using bluetooth, so no problems with restore function.
But can someone explain why the browser (opera)does not give the same functionality as the Opera browser which could be used on the P900 ? - very dissapointed in the embedded browser on P990i - and you cannot upload the current mobile version from Opera - or at least you can download but it will not install !!
Finally does anyone know how to get rid of the embedded bookmarks, as teh only way to establish a home page is to get it to the top of the bookmark list
hey thats so really great to update the soft ware bt now what abt the prices there is a great gap between prices so please wt is the different between them and what is the real prices because here in egypt is too expensive guide me please
:( ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone got a P990i from UK Orange yet?
Would love 2 hear feedback, thanks!
I have been using the p910i for a long time,and was very eager to try out the p990.after reading the negative comments about the phone i had second thoughts,but better sense preveiled and today i am the proud owner of the p990.it is true the p990 is slower in the beginning,and it is quite coomon to get disappointed with it,but however after having an upgrade from their site directly it is not that bad and is quite fast. the phone as it is far ore advanced than the p910i,except for the sound which was the envy of Nokia users,is missing in the p990.i dont say it is bad,but it is not as good as th p910i,.as for the rest of the functions and the usage ...........im lovin it.........So dont bother about the negative talk guys.beg,buy,or borrow tha p990 and enjoy.im sure u wouldnt be dissapointed with it.but dont forget to upgrade,hardly takes 2 hours,and u can do it yourself,and is free.you can find the upgrade in the support section of their official site.www.sonyericsson.com.hope this helped those confused souls(like me).

Plz make sure UIQ 3.0 is listed

We are taking a zero day at the Full Goose shelter hoping for better weather in Mahoosuc Notch. It's a notorious section of the AT, only 1.3 miles, but known as the hardest or most fun section of the AT. We will be climbing through a ravine filled completely with massive boulders.
It's not really raining, though, so it feels kind of like a wasted day even though I've been wanting a zero since the Whites. The others who stayed here last night hiked on today, though we met Mr. Blue who is the first Northbounder who caught us up here. He started later than us and made up about 900 miles on us. These fast hikers with their tall, tall legs. Sigh. That's not me.
My clothes are still soaked, though I wrung them out and hung them to dry last night. My shoes are still soaked, too. We are also waiting for Dame Quixote to come along and hike the notch with us. We heard it's better to have somebody with you so you can hand your packs to each other through the caves and tunnels. I plan to take my time and try to have a good time, like on a rock jungle gym.

The last month has been hard...mentally, physically and most importantly emotionally, the panic attacks just don't seem to end, neither does the constant worry. My anxiety feels like a bully, a really big hard ugly bully that will not back down, some days, I feel so powerless to stop it and I feel like it takes over my entire body. The days feel long and hard. Sometimes I just stay in bed crying because I feel so powerless. I often wonder how the hell I got this bad? I sometimes think if I had chosen a different path in life then I wouldn't be the person I am today, but who knows, maybe I could of ended up worst?
The derealization is not nice, I feel like there is a huge glass wall between me and reality, I know deep down my mind is just protecting me from the anxiety and the panic attacks but it doesn't make it any easier In some ways as crazy as it sounds, it's a nice break from reality. I feel so vulnerable at the moment. I am not on Citalopram anymore, this derealization won't budge and I feel like mentally I am being challenged, but one thing I will give myself credit for is that only know how I finally realized how strong I really am, all this time I thought I could not be strong, but this whole experience has taught me never to doubt myself again. I am not weak and anxiety and panic attacks have not defined me. I am a strong woman who will always remain strong no matter how bad the panic attack/anxiety or derealization! They say everything happens for a reason, well I believe this is the reason, I doubted myself for so long and I felt so weak, but now I realize that I am strong and I really need to start believing in myself. I feel God is putting me through the worst so I can see that I am strong! I have trust in him.

Candice Rush
Candice Rush, a loving spirit of the first order, was born on December 15, 1959 in Conroe, TX. She graduated from Conroe High School, received her Bachelor's in Geography from Southwest Texas State (Texas State) University, and her Master's in Family Counseling in Los Angeles, California. She died of renal failure at Christopher House in Austin on Friday, May 29, 2009 surrounded by loving family and friends. While Candice lived, she lived fully! She loved people and animals, often working with rescued animals. Traveling and exploring new places brought her joy, and she was always game for a new horizon. Those who knew and loved her have wonderful and fond memories of Candice. From her beautiful red hair to her spirited, quick wit, she enchanted us all.
Candice was preceded in death by her father Stanley V. Rush, Sr. and her maternal and paternal grandparents. Survivors include her mother Rouye Rush of San Marcos, Texas; sisters Sheran Shepps and husband Bob of Portland, OR; Dianne Pape and husband Jim of San Marcos; Penny Rush of Austin; and brother Stan Rush, Jr. and wife Linda of Bertram, Texas; nephews Rob Shepps and wife Kim of Atlanta, GA; Jason Shepps and wife Allana of Los Angeles, CA; Rush Pape and partner Kendra of Austin; Brazos Pape and wife Gloria of San Marcos; Grayson Rush of Bertram; great niece Maya Shepps of Los Angeles; and many loving cousins and friends across the country. A memorial service will take place at the Chapel in the San Marcos Cemetery on June 15, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. Private burial.
The family offers their deepest gratitude to the caring people at Christopher House in Austin who helped Candice and her family make the transition from life to death. We also give heartfelt thanks to Dr. Paul Nader who was a stalwart friend to Candice through many difficult times. There were so many people who prayed for Candice over the months. You know who you are, and we thank you. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Candice's memory to Christopher House (Austin Hospice), an animal rescue program, or a charity of your choice.

fun with markers
PERMANENT markers, that is. After putting away groceries I found my toddler looking like this. LOVELY! I was just happy he didn't get it on anything else. No, HE did not mark all over Ken. That was my 7 year old DAUGHTER...Hell-o!A little creepy looking huh?!

Date: Friday 28 Apr 2017
(ShareCast News) - Sterling made steady gains on most key cross on Friday, appearing nonchalant in its reaction to disappointing UK economic growth data out mid-morning.
At about 17:04 BST, sterling was up 0.28% to $1.2940, and up 0.09% to €1.1879. The dollar-spot index was down 0.02% to 99.054. Sterling also rose on the aussie, loonie, kiwi, rand and yen.
Jasper Lawler, senior market analyst at London Capital Group, said sterling was nonchalant about the UK economy slowing significantly in first-quarter 2017.
GDP growth was 0.3% in the first three months of the year, missing expectations for 0.4% growth and slower than the 0.7% growth seen in the final quarter of last year.
"Sterling hardly moved on the data because a modest slowdown is already priced in," he said.
"Both the pound and the euro have broken out above significant resistance levels this week as election fever boosts sentiment. Levels of $1.30 in GBPUSD and €1.10 in EURUSD are key."
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK, was another who noted that sterling had shrugged off the slowdown in UK Q1 gross domestic product.
"It is also important to note that the first quarter tends to be a little weaker on a seasonal basis given that consumers tend to pull back at the beginning of a new year," said Hewson.
This was in order to rebuild their finances after Christmas.
Meanwhile, the US dollar turned in a motly performance on key crosses, falling on the euro, aussie and rand, but rising on the loonie, kiwi and yen.
In the US, GDP expanded 0.7% in the first quarter of 2017, preliminary official data showed.
That was wide of the 1.2% growth that economists had expected and less than the 2.1% rise seen over the previous quarter.
"If anything the dollar reacted fairly well, shrinking its losses against both the pound and the euro once the figure was released," said Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex.
A distinct cloud of caution hangs over global markets, with Brexit and the UK general election, France's presidential vote, Donald Trump's presidency and other geo-political factors weighing on investor sentiment.
Lawler said the rising risk of a war between the US and North Korea was keeping gold, which often ran counter to the US dollar, well bid.
"Whether gold holds above $1260 per oz will depend on next week's Federal Reserve meeting but the situation in the Korean peninsula should keep a floor under it."

I am alone I am a real bear with a head full of
hazard and light I live in nature live with no
friends and no equity who needs it I have
my face I have my hands which are as I speak
mauling the air one time I took a trip I lay
horizontal on a marvelous raft I did look up
regard the blank stars and accept them as holes in
the frame one time I ran so fast I left my own
self behind my own self wandered into an old
birch and it fell over I have no escrow O
bees thou sweet kingdom of noise I worship
freely I pee on the leaves and the wind
impulses right through me like a small clean rock
all I want is the fish to glow at night when
everyone on earth is trying to reach me hello
yes hello this never happens yet other events
go on and on the dimming of the moon I am
upright I am lumbering alone with no liquidity
and I live on berries deliver me berries if later
on you glide into these wild and wilder woods

Multipurpose acoustic networks in the integrated arctic ocean observing system
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
The dramatic reduction of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean will increase human activities in the coming years. This activity will be driven by increased demand for energy and the marine resources of an Arctic Ocean accessible to ships. Oil and gas exploration, fisheries, mineral extraction, marine transportation, research and development, tourism, and search and rescue will increase the pressure on the vulnerable Arctic environment. Technologies that allow synoptic in situ observations year-round are needed to monitor and forecast changes in the Arctic atmosphere-ice-ocean system at daily, seasonal, annual, and decadal scales. These data can inform and enable both sustainable development and enforcement of international Arctic agreements and treaties, while protecting this critical environment. In this paper, we discuss multipurpose acoustic networks, including subsea cable components, in the Arctic. These networks provide communication, power, underwater and under-ice navigation, passive monitoring of ambient sound (ice, seismic, biologic, and anthropogenic), and acoustic remote sensing (tomography and thermometry), supporting and complementing data collection from platforms, moorings, and vehicles. We support the development and implementation of regional to basin-wide acoustic networks as an integral component of a multidisciplinary in situ Arctic Ocean observatory.

We all want to enjoy being in our natural flow state as much as we can. If we could wave a magic wand and miraculously appear in the Flow Zone, we all would! Actually, it's almost that easy if we make small changes to our actions and thoughts over time … and build our FLOWcabulary.
Change Your Vocabulary, Change Your Life
Words have the power to shape our lives. The words we've heard from others affect us in little ways on a daily basis. Sometimes their impact can be so significant, yet subtle, that we don't even comprehend their effect until many years and much inner reflection later.
Think about what a relative may have said to you as a child that happened to stick with you through adulthood. Regardless whether that statement is true – or was ever true, you may still be trying to live up to that story ("she's always [fill in the blank] perfectly) or continuing to rebel against it ("she's never been any good at [fill in the blank]").
The same is true for the words we use to tell ourselves the true (and untrue) stories that we replay in our daily lives. We might say in our heads, "I won't ever lose weight because diets don't work for me"; "I'm not good at math so I shouldn't figure out the bill for the table"; "I'm too shy to ask for the promotion/perks I want, so I guess I'll wait until review time." Stories don't have to be so overtly negative or constraining to have a limiting impact on us. We may say things like, "I can't," "It's too hard to," or "I'm not a," which seem innocuous, but are just as harmful.
Why Words May Be Blocking Your Best Life
Is it really catastrophic to say something like, "I can't?" Yes!
When you say, "I can't," you're mentally blocking the possibility of something happening – even if it actually is completely possible.
Or let's say you describe your house as "a small, dark dungeon." When framed in that light, you've permanently painted a dreadful picture in your mind that prevents you from seeing the potential in your cozy abode.
This is where mantras or positive affirmations come in handy. But if that's too woo-woo for you, simply switch up your word choice and watch your world open up in a beautiful new way.
Create Your Own FLOWcabulary
If our words shape our mental states, which in turn drive our attitudes and behaviors, then it makes sense for us to choose our words wisely.
Even if we're not natural writers or feel the least bit poetically inclined, we have the power to select the language of our lives.
The fact that I was an English major in college does not make me any more adept at building an effective flowcabulary.
The only advantage I may have over you – at this point in time – is that I've been working for years on fine tuning my flowcabulary. Of course, it's not perfect and it's a continual work in progress. Instead of thinking of my flowcabulary as a permanent publication like a hardback dictionary (if you still remember those!), I see it more like a series of constantly evolving entries on a wiki site.
FLOWcabulary Lesson: 5 Changes To Make To Your FLOWcabulary Now
If you're just getting started at paying attention to the language of your life, try these strategies out and see if they help you progress more easily towards your Flow Zone.
- Eliminate "I can't" and use words that tell your true story. Instead of "I can't lose weight because diets don't work for me," describe your situation more accurately. This may be something like, "I don't like low-carb diets because they make me feel weak." When you change your language, it's easy to see that you can lose weight because you can find a diet that works for you – just not one that is too carb restrictive!
- Stop boxing yourself in with "I'm not." My constant refrain used to be, "I'm not a morning person" … until I became a morning person. When I realized using that limiting phrase was preventing me from achieving certain personal goals, I flipped my script and started telling myself, "I get up at 5:30 a.m. to [fill in the blank] because I want to [fill in the blank]." Within six months of the day I changed my language, I was well on my way to achieving my goals and surprisingly, I had become a morning person. (Well, at least someone who can wake up and function early in the morning if I need to).
- Say "I will" to ensure that you act on your intentions. By using this active verb instead of the uncertain or vague "I might," "I think I may," or "I plan to," you will automatically set your course into motion.
- Use words of loving kindness towards yourself. When you catch yourself berating your own conduct ("I can't believe I did that"; "how stupid of me") or your body ("Ugh, I'm so fat"; "My race time was so slow"), stop and add a phrase of gratitude to switch your mental state. For instance, at one time I would exercise harder as a way of punishing myself into being or looking better. Now, instead of framing my workouts as a negative exercise – pun very much intended! – I celebrate my body and its capabilities and think of my workouts as a treat my body gets to experience. You can say things like, "I'm thankful that my legs are so strong that they can carry me through this grueling lunge and squat sequence"; "I love how flexible I am"; "Thank you, body, for allowing me to experience this endorphin high"; or "I'm so lucky to be able to perform these exercises – even if it feels like they're killing me."
- Practice positivity and gratitude. In every situation you can choose to describe your experience as something less than desirable or good enough under the circumstances. For example, if a meal with a friend is inedible, you could choose to groan about the imperfect food and spread an infectious wave of negativity to your friend and the waitstaff or you could say something like, "At least wine doesn't get cooked" or "Luckily, we can still spend this time together." If you're really at a loss for words in a negative or trying situation, you can always borrow the Thai phrase, "mai pen rai," which literally means "it's not bad." We use this phrase not just as a response to events, but as an attitude towards life. Loosely, it means that everything is alright and we'll all be okay. Living in a "mai pen rai" mindset puts a perpetually positive spin on our perspective.
Give these strategies some thought as you build your starting flowcabulary and grow it from there at your own pace. Changing your language will start changing your mindset in no time.
Let me know in the comments below: What stories block you from your best life? How do you wordsmith your way around them? Do you have any puzzlers that we can work through together?

Budget Vote Delayed Until April;
Learn How You Can Help Build More Support for The People's Budget
Dear Supporter,
More than 100,000 people have already signed petitions supporting The People's Budget! Now we need to bring The People's Budget to our local clubs, kitchen tables and political meetings. This is a prosperity budget that benefits working families, women, seniors, children, and frankly everybody in the 99%.
Budgets are moral documents; every progressive issue and value is impacted by the Federal budget. Each year, the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) offers an alternative budget resolution to the "austerity" budgets supported by the House Majority and Speaker Ryan. The People's Budget offers a solid blueprint to:
- Invest more than $1 trillion in housing, education, transportation, clean energy and safe water to create millions of jobs
- Prevent cuts, restore social spending and reduce poverty by half in 10 years
- Increase educational opportunities, provide Pre-K and debt-free college for all
- Increase, not cut, Social Security and health care
- Close corporate tax loopholes, tax Wall Street speculation and raise taxes on the top 2%
- Redirect wasteful Pentagon spending and direct to peoples needs, ending Pentagon pork and the overseas contingency "slush fund"
Join us on Thursday, March 31, 2016 for a Webinar that will help you understand how The People's Budget benefits your community.
Date: Thursday, March 31st
Time: 8:30pm Eastern, 7:30pm Central, 6:30pm Mountain and 5:30pm Pacific

Kiama service club news
We will operate a gold-coin donation, sausage sizzle at Kiama Showground on Monday, February 5 for the Kiama Leg of the 2018 Gold Coast XXI Commonwealth Games, Queen's Baton Relay. Join us at the Showground from 12:00pm – 2:00 pm and be a part of this historic event.
This week, we started dismantling the old kitchen at Barroul House (old Kiama Hospital). The building itself is heritage listed and will be retained and refurbished as a community centre within the new complex.
During our last construction project in Papua New Guinea during 2014, we identified that the Madang Regional Hospital's kitchen was in dire need of renovation. We investigated the project at the time but determined that it would be too cost-prohibitive for us to proceed.
In a great example of timely recycling and community co-operation, we recently approached Kiama Council and they agreed that we could remove the old kitchen fittings from Barroul House and ship them to Madang. Two members will fly to Madang next month to confirm project details and the shipping/construction project will take place later in the year.
Lions had a very successful Show thanks to an amazing team of folks who filled all the shifts and cooked despite horribly humid conditions inside the tent. We also tried our new Lion Burgers and they were a hit. We are particularly grateful to the associates, partners and friends who helped us all through the Show.
We had some drama on the Sunday morning when we came to dismantle our equipment and take it to our storage area, only to find that the entrance to our store was being dug up to repair a significant gas leak. Thanks to the Lions who stored our stuff overnight until we could back in.
This month we will be interviewing a number of youngsters from Kiama High School who hope that we will sponsor them for the Outward Bound Course sometime in April. We will be interviewing them during the course of this month.
The new roof on our Carers Cottage is taking shape and should be completed very shortly. Inside the teams have been hard at work covering the old floor with plywood prior to putting down a new floor. We are most grateful to Kiama Bowling Club for their $500 donation for the Cottage as part of their Charity fundraising night.
Our first handicraft session with Mahim commences on Tuesday, February 6, at the CWA hall, 10-11.30am.
Our first meeting is on Tuesday, February 20, at the CWA hall, 57 Shoalhaven St., commencing at 1pm. Visitors and new members are most welcome.
