Poet, author, and translator Robert Bly was born in Minnesota in 1926 to parents of Norwegian ancestry. Over the course of his career, he has published more than forty books of poems. In 1966 Bly cofounded and led American Writers against the Vietnam War, and when his second book of poetry, The Light around the Body, won the 1968 National Book Award for Poetry, he contributed the prize money to the antiwar effort. He is best known for his 1990 book Iron John: A Book about Men, and is credited with starting the mythopoetic men's movement, which encouraged men to express their repressed feelings through poetry, stories, and rites. The following is excerpted from A Little Book on the Human Shadow, by Robert Bly. Copyright © 1988 by Robert Bly. Reprinted by arrangement with HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
When we were one or two years old we had what we might visualize as a 360-degree personality. Energy radiated out from all parts of our body and all parts of our psyche. A child running is a living globe of energy. We had a ball of energy, all right; but one day we noticed that our parents didn't like certain parts of that ball. They said things like "Can't you be still?" Or "It isn't nice to try and kill your brother." Behind us we have an invisible bag, and the part of us our parents don't like, we, to keep our parents' love, put in the bag. By the time we go to school our bag is quite large. Then our teachers have their say: "Good children don't get angry over such little things." So we take our anger and put it in the bag. By the time my brother and I were twelve in Madison, Minnesota, we were known as "the nice Bly boys." Our bags were already a mile long.
Then we do a lot of bag-stuffing in high school. This time it's no longer the evil grown-ups that pressure us, but people our own age. So the student's paranoia about grown-ups can be misplaced. I lied all through high school automatically to try to be more like the basketball players. Any part of myself that was a little slow went into the bag. My sons are going through the process now; I watched my daughters, who are older, experience it. I noticed with dismay how much they put into the bag, but there was nothing their mother or I could do about it. Often my daughters seemed to make their decisions on the basis of fashion and collective ideas of beauty, and they suffered as much damage from other girls as they did from men.
So I maintain that out of a round globe of energy the twenty-year-old ends up with a slice. We'll imagine a man who has a thin slice left — the rest is in the bag — and we'll imagine that he meets a woman; let's say they are both twenty-four. She has a thin, elegant slice left. They join each other in a ceremony, and this union of two slices is called marriage. Even together the two do not make up one person! . . .
In Christian culture sexuality usually goes into the bag. With it goes much spontaneity. [Psychologist] Marie-Louise von Franz warns us, on the other hand, not to sentimentalize primitive cultures by assuming that they have no bag at all. She says, in effect, that they have a different but sometimes even larger bag. They may put individuality into the bag, or inventiveness. What anthropologists know as "participation mystique," or a "mysterious communal mind," sounds lovely, but it can mean that tribal members all know exactly the same thing and no one knows anything else. It's possible that bags for all human beings are about the same size.
We spend our life until we're twenty deciding what parts of ourself to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again. Sometimes retrieving them feels impossible, as if the bag were sealed. Suppose the bag remains sealed — what happens then? A great nineteenth-century story has an idea about that. One night Robert Louis Stevenson woke up and told his wife a bit of a dream he'd just had. She urged him to write it down; he did, and it became Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The nice side of the personality becomes, in our idealistic culture, nicer and nicer. The Western man may be a liberal doctor, for example, always thinking about the good of others. Morally and ethically he is wonderful. But the substance in the bag takes on a personality of its own; it can't be ignored. The story says that the substance locked in the bag appears one day somewhere else in the city. The substance in the bag feels angry, and when you see it, it is shaped like an ape, and moves like an ape.
The story says then that when we put a part of ourselves in the bag it regresses. It de-evolves toward barbarism. Suppose a young man seals a bag at twenty and then waits fifteen or twenty years before he opens it again. What will he find? Sadly, the sexuality, the wildness, the impulsiveness, the anger, the freedom he put in have all regressed; they are not only primitive in mood, they are hostile to the person who opens the bag. The man who opens his bag at forty-five or the woman who opens her bag rightly feels fear. She glances up and sees the shadow of an ape passing along the alley wall; anyone seeing that would be frightened.

After completing her Masters in Global and Community Health Sciences with a focus in Maternal and Childhood Health from Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine Melanie took the opportunity of a lifetime to conduct research and teach at the Dali Lama Institute for Higher Education in Bangalore, India. During her time abroad Melanie was humbled and though she loved the challenges and occasionally adventurous aspects of life with Tibetans living in exile in India, she found New Orleans and more hands on work suited her a little better. Arriving home, and a little unsure of how to pressure a more interactive position in birth work Melanie reexamined her course work and found she thematically found interventions focusing on women helping women to be most effective and in line with her values. Establishing that Douglas serve as an important peace of the birth team was easy, establishing qualifications and a network seemed a bit muddier. The stars aligned and Melanie quickly found a local training and was promptly accepted into the NOLA Nesting Mentor program where she furthered her practical and theoretical skill. With enthusiasm Melanie dove into her role and is ready to help serve her community through improving New Orleans birth outcomes and giving new families a strong and healthy foundation.
Community Doula work which involves establishing a strong working relationship with the expecting parents through out the prenatal period through continuing to support the families during the post partum period is how Melanie likes to operate. Having worked as a nanny for years and as an infant care provider she understandshow difficult transitioning into life with ababy can be and wants to help parents feel confident as the embark on the challenge of raising a little New Orleanian.

Whatever the doctor gave me for my jaw helped whatever was wrong with my leg! I just realized that I haven't had any pain there since Saturday, which was when my jaw stopped hurting. The TMJ was pretty awful, but I'm kind of glad I got it now in a weird way. I have a follow up appointment with the doctor today to see about getting a mouth guard for night so that I won't grind my teeth.
I didn't meet my usual Tuesday morning running partner since she had to be at work early today so I'm going to spin class after work. I used to absolutely hate spin class, but now I get sad when I miss it!

I should take painkillers before running more often!
This past week was a little rough on the running front. I apparently have TMJ and it was really bad this week so I was hopped up on painkillers for a couple of days. I wanted to go to a 5k in Fultondale on Saturday morning, but it didn't happens because I was still kind of loopy. I did get up Sunday thought and met a few people to run 10 miles. I took a painkiller the night before to make sure I would be able to sleep and therefore be able to run the next day.
We met at 6:30 at the Brownell building near Brookwood Mall. The first four miles were pretty hard on my shins. I haven't had shin pain like that in a long time. I'm thinking it might be time for some new shoes. But after mile 4 they were pretty warmed up and felt good. I experimented this run with having some gel before running and during the run. I get pretty bad stomach problems during a run if I eat beforehand, but this seemed to work pretty well. I might have to start investing in Gu. We started the run at the Brownell building and ran by Brookwood Mall, all the way down Lakeshore trail, then back to Brownell and a little bit of the Jemison trail. I was feeling really good at the end of the run and was even able to pick up the pace a bit, but stopped at 10. I've got at least two runs planned this week, and will probably need to fit in another two.
My husband and I are running the Race to the Courthouse 5k on Saturday morning. It is his "graduation" 5k from his Couch to 5k running program. They are going on to a 10k after this and he says that he's going to stick with it. Maybe he'll get obsessed with running like I am! After the race I'm going to be headed to the beach with a friend of mine. I haven't been to the beach in forever so I'm pretty excited about it! I'm also supposed to run 13 miles that weekend, so we'll see how that works out!

I went to the doctor about my leg, and he doesn't know what's wrong with it. They took x-rays, and there are no stress fractures so that's good. It's some kind of muscle thing, and he said that I could keep running, but if it got worse to come back in. My running coach suggested a massage to see if that would work out a knot or whatever is causing the pain. I was at my mom's yesterday and had her massage it for a bit. It hurt like crap, but I guess that's a good thing.
As far as running, I had a group run on Saturday morning that I slept through. I went to bed at 9:00, set my alarm for 4:30 am. I woke up at 6:15 not having heard my alarm at all. My husband didn't either, so I'm assuming I turned it off in my sleep. I was so mad that I missed the run!
I tried to run yesterday, but only got 4 miles in. We ran in the middle of the day with the sun right above us. I got a little burned too, which isn't good.

I think I've sustained my first running injury. It's not bad, but I'm going to have the doctor check it out anyway. For the past few weeks, my left thigh would hurt when I sat a certain way in my chair at work. So, I just didn't sit that way. Then it started hurting when I walked about a week ago. It's just a twinge, not that bad. I'm still able to run, but I can definitely feel it.
Because of my leg, I only ran 6 miles of our 11 mile run last Saturday. I'm calling tomorrow to get an appointment to have it looked at. The doctor will probably tell me to ice and take ibuprofen, but I would rather be safe than sorry!

Apple analysts are underestimating the company, Citi analyst Jim Suva says.
"Apple reports on Monday, April 27, after the market close, and we believe the company will beat consensus sales by at least $1 billion and iPhone unit shipments by at least 5% and at least a 2% EPS beat versus consensus (even after factoring in an estimated -6% year over year currency impact to financials)," Suva says in a new note.
He gives five reasons, plus a "bonus" reason, he thinks Apple's stock is going to soar. He calls Apple one of Citi's "highest conviction stock ideas."
Here are his reasons for being a mega bull:
1. "Device acceleration." Basically, people are still buying a lot of iPhones. In the recent past, Apple has seen an explosion in iPhone purchases during the December quarter, then a sharp drop in the March quarter and a gradual decline for the next two quarters. There will be a drop for the March quarter, but it will not be as severe as it has been in the past. Apple is selling a lot of iPhones in part because carriers have changed their upgrade policies. Previously, iPhone owners had to wait two years or more; now they can do it sooner. Suva says analysts haven't fully grasped this idea.
2. Analyst estimates are going to get jacked, and Apple's valuation is low. Apple is trading at 14 times forward earnings, while the S&P 500 trades at 17 times. Suva thinks that gives Apple room to grow. He also thinks analysts are too conservative and will soon have to raise their estimates.
3. Gross margins are growing. Apple sells three storage options: 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB. Each step up in storage costs consumers an extra $100 compared with just $20 for Apple, so that's $80 in profit. The 16GB phone is basically useless because it fills up with photos quickly. As a result, everyone is paying up for the 64GB or 128GB model, leading to a big expansion in gross margins.
4. Apple Pay/Passbook. This seems to be based largely on potential. Apple Pay is starting to gain traction, and in the long run it can be a nice business for Apple. Further, Suva thinks Passbook will be useful for all sorts of things.
5. Enterprise opportunity. For as long as we can remember, people have been saying Apple is on the cusp of cracking into enterprise. This time might be different because CEO Tim Cook is a bit more attuned to enterprise needs than Steve Jobs ever was. Apple has also done a deal with IBM to make enterprise apps for the iPad, which should help.
6. BONUS: Apple Watch! The Apple Watch comes out this year, and Suva is calling for just 7 million units in Apple's fiscal 2015. He does think, however, that it could add a nice boost to the stock.
7. Double bonus: Apple TV. Suva doesn't mention Apple TV, so we're doing it for him. There is talk of an Apple TV update coming this year. It's unclear whether that will lead to much in terms of revenue from unit sales. It will be exciting, however, and should add to Apple's services revenue.

Restaurant Post
The green signs may protect you from rat feces, but it won't save you from an upset stomach.
For those that are unsure if you should try that little restaurant down the street in Toronto. There are other signs, such as the eye weekly rewards, as well as the CRFA membership post. But to be honest, I rarely encounter a bad restaurant in Toronto.
Eating Out
I rarely pick out restaurants myself; I usually follow someone and blame them later.

The 80/20 Control by Peter McKinnon
The efficient way to Force and Control at the same time.
Peter McKinnon loves simple. Who doesn't? Fewer steps to achieving a goal is going to be better than taking the long way. Which is where the 80/20 control shines. A simple control that allows you to force a card and control it in a single action.
A deck is riffled and a spectator told to call stop. Their selection is shown, returned back to the deck, and the remaining cards dribbled back on top. And it's done. Their card has been both forced, and controlled to the top of the deck. A powerful move that takes lets you focus on the magic.
Peter's unique take on visual magic, cutting to the essence of an action and conserving movement is what makes this control so clean, so simple, and so much fun to do.
Used as a force, a control, a color change or a sleight for an inversion plot - the 80/20 control is the swiss-army knife of efficient, visual magic.

9 Air Jordan 1 "On Feet" Pics You Can't Miss
There's been some incredibly clean 'on feet' sneaker images floating down my timeline lately, specifically some Jordan 1s. I spent the better part of yesterday and today going back through a number of sneaker accounts to track down my favorites.
I'm using this post to feature some of those photographers and share my favorite Jordan 1 'on feet' pictures.
Jordan 1 OG Bred
Guam based sneakerhead Jose De Asis has a portfolio of amazing on feet shots, not just Jordans. His sneaker photos get so much attention, he landed himself a full page spread in Modern Notoriety, covering a wide range of the "on feet" pics he takes.
Image credit: Jose De Asis
Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black/Gum"
To be honest, these aren't the best on feet images on this list, but I hold a special place for the Jordan 1 double black with gum bottoms – they're one of my favorite shoes of all time.
Image credit: Titolo
Jordan 1 Retro "Shattered Glass"
The Retro Shattered Glass 1s were some of the hottest sneakers of summer 2015. When pr_sneaks23 dropped his 'on feet' images, they got even hotter. If you're on Instagram, I strongly suggest you give him a follow – he consistently posts high resolution on feet images of the season's hottest drops.
Image credit: pr_sneaks23
Jordan 1 OG High "David Lettermans"
The rare orange and blue Jordan x Letterman colorway was photographed perfectly in a city based setting. The bronze of the metal stairs contrast perfectly with the bright colors in the sneaker, leaving an incredible HD on foot shot.

Jordan 1 Mid Triple Black
Exclucity always has the heat and always takes the best on feet shots to promote their sneakers. The black / black mids stand out against the light grey gravel ground and gold joggers. A perfect complement to make their sneaker pop out of the image.
Image credit: Exclucity
Jordan 1 Retro "Timeless Canvas"
The team at Kickz put together a small on feet photoshoot for the Jordan 1 "Timeless Canvas" release. The all white sneaker features a small pop of red in the Nike Swoosh and the photographer did a tremendous job getting the shoe to pop by modeling in a pair of dark jeans against a granite backdrop. Very clean look that highlights the shoe perfectly.
Image credit: Kickz
Jordan 1 Retro High "Melo"
Back in December of 2014 Nike released the Air Jordan 1 "Melo" sneaker, in the likeness of Carmelo Anthony. The sneakers feature a gold and black body, capped off with black nubuck. Lifestyle brand Wish captured some high resolution on feet shots to put the sneakers on display.
Image credit: Wish
Jordan 1 OG "Laser"
The Shoe Game ALWAYS takes fire 'on feet' pics and these are no exception. Shot with a blacked out backdrop, the team at TSG captured these Lasers perfectly.
Image credit: The Shoe Game
Jordan 1 OG "Hare Jordans"
The Hare Jordans are one of the most sought after Jordan 1 of all time. For the spring limited release, Exclucity added more fuel to the hype by capturing some clean indoor 'on feet' shots.

What's your favorite "on feet" shot?
16 Comments
Black/Gum is my favorite. You can never go wrong with black.
My favorite Air Jordan on feet is the Timeless Canvas. It is on the name: timeless!
I think Hare Jordans is my fav. The colors are just perfect.
Melo looks damn fine. I like the black/gold combination. Definitely my sneaker this season!
My favorite is Laser. I like the design, very unique! Next on my list is the Mid Triple Black. It goes with anything…definitely hot!
Black/Gum for me. Maybe because it looked nice on black leather pants? Hahaha! Melo looks nice too…cuz my black leather pants can go with it too! LOL!
I don't wear this kind of shoe much. Always felt like they'd break open easily due to its near-weightlessness and the the way I wear my shoes. Still, I've always been a fan of the Jordans. This particular model, I like due to simplicity. Retro Timeless Canvass would probably work best for me.
Great style and design. I personally like the Jordan 1 Retro High "Melo" and the colour combination of gold and black, which is different than all the others. I have never worn anything like it, but feel convinced to try them.
I'm gonna have Shattered Glass for the summer. I like the mix of colors. Pretty unique, if you ask me. I like the hot orange contrast…very eye-catching!
Wow all design and style are great really love them all. "timeless canvas" took my eyes this is would be my first choice, really clean looks and like the red nike logo's. and my second choice was "shattered glass" like the combinations of the three color.
Great styles and awesome colors. I really love these Jordans and I like how the colors can go with any type of clothing. I found that the red and black ones look pretty cool.
I'm out of league here. Too much brain power on dipslay!
those are great collection of Jordan pictures! I personally prefer Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black/Gum" it looks so awesome over those black leather pants and it brings a dark kind of sophistication to the person wearing it.
I remember my brother had a pair of Air Jordans that were completely red. I thought they were ugly at the time so I never bought a pair. The 2015 "Shattered Glass" shot really shows how far they've come. I actually think they look awesome.
The red and black Jordan 1 OG High "David Lettermans" simply look classic and stylish. Besides, it complements my company uniform. Very cool design.
I began collecting MJ shoes from Jordan 7. I had been able to purchase all of them from there. Thank goodness for these remakes. They may not be the unused original release, but its the closest I can afford to completing my collection. Thanks for the info!

Our 155,000 combined followers on Twitter (click here for that) and on Facebook (then click here to subscribe to that) know that on weekday afternoons we regularly share a selection of that evening's late-night jokes before broadcast. Usually, we publish a collection of these and other jokes early each week.
Letterman: Obama says the ObamaCare website has glitches. If a J. Crew pants order comes in the wrong color, that's a glitch. ObamaCare is a Carnival Cruise.
Fallon: The U.S. was tapping the cellphone of Germany's Angela Merkel for 10 years. At this point, the only world leader our government DOESNT listen to is President Obama.
Fallon: A reminder that Daylight Time ended this weekend. Or put another way, your microwave now has the right time on it again.
Fallon: A new brewery in Scotland makes the world's strongest beer -- 67% alcohol. All part of the plan to make Scottish people even harder to understand.
Letterman: Halloween was fun, wasn't it? I love it. You open the door. There are strangers in masks. Great idea.
Letterman: Kanye West rented a stadium to pop the big question to Kim Kardashian: 'Why are you famous?' They haven't picked a site yet for the divorce.
Fallon: A Texas man survives two lightning strikes on the same weekend. Said he's grateful and credits his lucky metal hat.
Fallon: Syrian hackers targeted President Obama's Twitter and Facebook accounts. Weird because Obama then hired them to fix the ObamaCare site.
Fallon: Katy Perry criticizes female singers who wear revealing outfits just to get attention. But Perry's interviewer missed it, watching fireworks shot from her bra.
Conan: My 20th anniversary on late-night television. My Dad called me this morning and told me something he's never said before, "Son—We don't have cable."
Leno: Good news for Kathleen Sebelius. ObamaCare will cover all of her injuries when Obama throws her under the bus soon.
Leno: ObamaCare. What a mess for President Obama. Remember when his worst embarrassment was Joe Biden?
Conan: The top Halloween costume this year was likely Miley Cyrus. Just a warning — I didn't give candy to any kid who said, "Trick or Twerk."
Letterman: The Statue of Liberty turned 127 years old the other day, and she's still single. A gift from France. Came in crates. Important lesson in that: Never buy a statue from Ikea.
Letterman: When the Statue of Liberty arrived from France, Americans said, 'Gee, thanks. Now, how about some of those fried potatoes?'
Letterman: Guess who's out of prison? Dr. Conrad Murray. Sentenced to four years, served two. But they were both in the prison waiting room.
Fallon: A North Dakota woman gave an anti-candy note to trick-or-treaters this year. Kids were handing her a note back: "Toilet paper or eggs?"
Fallon: A Pennsylvania restaurant is selling a hamburger with deep-fried Twinkies for the bun. Asked what they thought after eating it, customers were dead.
Fallon: So the Winter Olympics are right around the corner, and this is cool -- the U.S. Olympic team just announced that its new uniforms are all made in America, after the last uniforms were criticized for being made in China. Which got awkward when they realized the "Made in America" tags were actually made in China.
Fallon: A new study says 30% of Americans get most of their news on Facebook. Anchors now are trying to compete. Tonight Brian Williams' top story was a picture of his cat.
Fallon: A flock of more than 50 ducks waddled into an upstate New York CVS after they triggered the auto-doors. Weirder, when one asked for the pregnancy tests.
Leno: A recent survey finds 11% of people admit to having sex while driving. That's got to be awkward for the rest of the carpool.
Leno: A lot of people accuse President Obama of being untruthful. He called me and said I could keep my job if I liked it. Trouble is, I believed him.
Leno: President Obama didn't know we spied on allies. He didn't know about the ObamaCare problems. Now he says he doesn't know how 'Breaking Bad' ended.
Letterman: You cant sign up for ObamaCare on a computer. But you know the Domino's website? You can track your pizza's progress? That's working fine.
Letterman: New Zealand scientists have discovered a new species of dolphin. It's very smart too. This dolphin predicted the Jonas Bros break-up.
Fallon: I hope everyone had Halloween fun that night. Stayed safe. And to everyone who gave out raisins, I say, 'Go to hell!'
Letterman: So the ObamaCare website is still broken. They give you an 800-number now. I called it. Know what I did? I ordered a mattress.
Fallon: The FAA says airline passengers can start using laptops and iPads during takeoff and landing. In related news, everyone already was.
Fallon: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, has been nominated as new president of the Boy Scouts. He went from the CIA to the Boy Scouts. So don't be surprised if you ask your little boy, "What's your badge for?" And he says, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
Leno: Boston was very excited over the Red Sox World Series win Wednesday night. Just crazy. People in Boston haven't been that drunk since Tuesday night.
Leno: As every year, hospitals all over the U.S. are X-raying children's Halloween candy. Unfortunately, thanks to ObamaCare, now there's a $1,000 co-pay.
Leno: American kids seem to be getting fatter these days. On Halloween I opened the door and one kid was Batman AND Robin.
Fallon: The Obamas gave dried fruit to more than 5,000 kids for Halloween. In a related story, White House workers had to sweep up a lot of dried fruit outside.
Fallon: A new study says Americans are making healthier food choices nowadays. Then came Halloween and Thanksgiving. Then Christmas. And Americans were back to Square One.
Fallon: A new study says fruit has become the second most popular food in the U.S. The FIRST most popular food in the U.S.? NOT fruit.
Leno: A University of Oxford study says women with larger butts are smarter than women with smaller ones. So, guys, you know what to say the next time your woman asks if those pants make her butt look big. "No, they make you look really smart, hon, like a genius."

Alcohol could be banned at events in North-east council properties when children are present.
South Aberdeenshire Licensing Forum is discussing the possibility of a booze ban for such events in council buildings, particularly schools.
The move comes after Catriona Matheson, health research consultant at NHS Grampian, found a link between parents drinking at home and higher levels of alcohol use among youngsters, which was likely to cause problems in future.
And in an effort to reduce the risk of children being attracted to drink, a consultation is considering events they attend which have applied for "occasional licences" to sell alcohol.
The group will meet on Wednesday.
If agreed, all three licensing boards in Aberdeenshire will be informed.
A green light for the move could lead to alcohol being banned in buildings such as schools for events.
A report by John Kinsella, chairman of South Aberdeenshire Licensing Forum, said: "It was felt necessary to persuade the board to consider children's exposure to alcohol during the children-based events when granting occasional licences and to not support the applications for events associated with youngsters where they are organised in schools or council-owned premises.
"It was also proposed to check whether there is room for adopting a no alcohol at council's premises' policy.
"Following on from the discussion, it was agreed to contact Central and North Licensing Forums to raise the issue of exposure of young people to alcohol during the children-oriented events and to initiate the consultation process in this respect."
Peter Argyle, convener of South Aberdeenshire Licensing Board, who is also part of the forum, said: "The hope is the three forums will put this to the three licensing boards for them to consider if there needs to be a change of policy to accommodate this. If the licensing boards agree with this, the policy would change.
"This would mean young people don't grow up thinking alcohol is normal. For example, if there was a fundraiser in the school attended by children and parents where alcohol was being consumed."

The Social Network is a movie about Facebook.
Like so many brilliant movies before it, the summary, while completely true, is utterly lacking. The Godfather is about the mafia. Raging Bull is about boxing. Schindler's List is about the Holocaust. All true. All horribly inadequate.
Trying to describe this film in a review taxes a writer's abilities. I can muster only the most profound respect for Aaron Sorkin and his ability to render the majority of this movie's subject, computer programing, into compelling, enthralling entertainment.
Sorkin only enhances his reputation for brilliant, fast-paced, intelligent dialogue here. In my experience, people don't talk like Sorkin writes them, but I desperately wished that they did. In this context, the dialogue isolated the main character, Mark Zuckerberg, brilliantly portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg, with nearly the same efficacy as his actions.
Here in is the core of The Social Network. The extraordinary irony is that Facebook, the epitome of the "social network" revolution, was created by a man who can not function effectively in society. From the first frame, Zuckerberg is a man of tremendous intellect and a correspondingly tremendous arrogance. He seems to suffer form an Autism Spectrum Disorder, rendering him socially maladjusted. He famously talks through the logic of why he is intellectually superior to his girlfriend with said girlfriend. To say it ends horribly is an understatement.
But the film can only begin this way. By the standards of Wall Street and too many people, Zuckerberg is the portrait of success. He became a billionaire in his early twenties. This film painstakingly details the failure of a man who has billions but has no need, desire, or value for wealth. It is the portrait of a man forever kept outside of the human interaction he desperately desires by his own fundamental lack of empathy.
I found him to be a tragic character. He did not want to be a pariah. He wanted to belong, and yet possessed none of the tools to affectively manage a social life. This plays out over and over again in his life. Seemingly overnight, he becomes unimaginably wealthy, but wealth has no value to him. Unfortunately, he falls prey to people who only value wealth. He cannot see them for what they are, and it destroys the only enduring relationship he has.
That one true friend, Eduardo Saverin, played by Andrew Garfield in a revelatory turn, stands by and supports Zuckerberg from beginning up until the fateful end. Saverin puts up the starting money for what became Facebook, helped develop the code, and did much of the legwork to get the embryonic venture off the ground.
I cannot say with certainty that the entirety of the relationship between these two young men is objectively portrayed. I related and sympathized with Saverin completely. Whereas, the conflict between Zuckerberg and the infamous Winklevoss twins, I felt the film did not take sides, and let the viewer determine for his or her self who was right and who was wrong.
The most startling performance to my mind was Justin Timberlake as the predatory Sean Parker. Parker read Zuckerberg from the off and fed him precisely what he wanted to hear. The relationship endured until Parker's true colors showed, and all was lost. Unfortunately, by this point, Zuckerberg was utterly alone. Timberlake brought nuances to the role I had not expected from the musician.
The social study of The Social Network plays out amongst the major characters: Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Sean Parker. The Winklevoss twins are handsome, intelligent, wealthy, socially popular. Every facet of what Zuckerberg wants but cannot have, they live and breathe every day of their lives. Personally, I view Saverin as being the realistic ideal of what Zuckerberg would like to be, and yet he cannot see it. He is kind, loyal, hard-working, brilliant, manages fairly well with other people, and avoids the self-entitled whining of the twins. Parker is the dark side of it all, effectively using Zuckerberg's yearnings and insecurities to get what he wants.
The movie will stand as one of the finest films of 2010, and rightfully so. David Fincher brings Sorkin's script to life artfully, and turns the tale of the phenomenon of the past decode into one of the most compelling stories of our time. The movie is about Facebook, but like the website itself, far more is happening here than can be summarized, and in this way, The Social Network is the story of the eternal yearning of humanity to belong, and the failure of so many to do so.

Published by Inside Higher Ed
Many admissions officers, not to mention college presidents, have for years complained that prospective students focus too much on "sticker price" (stated prices of a college) rather than the actual cost to students and families (which may be considerably lower than sticker price, once aid is factored in). A new survey by the Art & Science Group and the College Board of SAT test-takers finds that the frustration is likely to remain. More than half (54 percent) of students reported that they judge a college's cost by sticker price without considering financial aid. And the survey was conducted in last 2012, after much publicity over the availability of "net price calculators," which allow those who share basic financial information to find out how much aid they would receive at a given college.

Come as you are sweetheart, come as you are.
You know you've got nothing to prove
I'll put you to bed you can let it all go
You've been playing too rough lately
You burn too bright
You live too fast
This can't go on too long
You're a tragedy starting to happen
Just as you are. Perfect just as your are
I'll give you the time you deserve.
Don't make those promises
Don't tell me again.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Pam Ross showed up at Ponsford's Place Bakery & Innovation Center at 5 p.m. sharp, just minutes after the owner, Craig Ponsford, put out the sidewalk "bread man" sculpture that alerts customers: Pizza night is on.
"It's just healthy," Ms. Ross said of the thin-crust pizzas, made with whole-milled, locally grown, whole-wheat flour. "There's nothing white about it, nothing processed. I don't eat pastries, but I'll eat these."
Ponsford's Place is part of a new movement in whole grains. Led by groups like the Oakland-based organization Community Grains, the grains are grown locally, and consist of varieties unlike most of the flour available today. The California-grown grains are milled without ever separating the germ, the embryo of a grain kernel, and the bran, the protective outer layer.
Customers swear by the difference. "After eating this pizza, I don't feel like I've eaten wet lead," said Deborah Stapleton, who tries hard not to miss a Ponsford pizza night. (This being Marin County, Ms. Stapleton is also among the regulars who bring their pizza boxes from last time for reuse.)
Currently, most of the flour we get is processed by industrial-scale roller milling that removes a wheat kernel's nutrient-rich germ and bran, turning the remaining endosperm – the starchy, least nutritious part — into white flour. Many of today's products that are labeled "whole wheat" are made with this refined flour, with the germ and bran added back in. The only requirement for a product to be labeled "whole grain" is that the three parts be represented in their natural proportions.
This industrial milling, many healthy food advocates argue, is taking its toll, not just on our taste buds, but on our health. As the author Michael Pollan noted at a recent whole grains conference at Oliveto restaurant in Oakland in March, which some referred to as "the Woodstock of the whole grains movement," every innovation in food processing improved human health — until we hit the roller mill.
Whole grains include foods like brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal, popcorn and whole wheat. But the varieties of wheat we know are bred for a large, easily separated endosperm, so that they can best be refined. By contrast, this new system involves, well, a return to the old system. Local farmers grow different wheat varieties and sell them to bakers, who use in-house mills. The result is locally grown, freshly milled, freshly baked whole-grain products.
Local grain economies are cropping up in a number of areas on a small scale, such as The Mill in San Francisco and Beck's Bakery in Humboldt County farther north. Others include Hayden Flour Mills, in Arizona; the Maine Grain Alliance, which is hosting its "2014 Kneading Conference" in July; and The Bread Lab in Washington State, which is hosting its "2014 Grain Gathering" in August. The goal, says Bob Klein, the founder of Community Grains, is to scale up so that it can be profitable for farmers and competitively priced for consumers. "We want it to be a true alternative to an industrial economy," he said.
Eating whole grains has been linked to better health in numerous studies, including a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. "Whole grains is the single greatest indicator of overall health that I have ever seen," said David Jacobs, a public health professor at the University of Minnesota.
But few studies have been conducted on these minimally processed whole grains, largely because it is hard to get funding for studies that are about whole foods rather than isolated nutrients, researchers involved with the movement say. Some researchers suggest that the whole kernel, with bran and germ intact, may have a synergistic effect, in which benefits — such as improved control of blood sugar levels — are greater than the sum of the constituent parts.
David Killilea, a staff scientist in the Nutrition and Metabolism Center at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, says that boosting the percentage of whole grains of any kind in the diet may blunt one's overall exposure to gluten. Gluten is predominantly found in the endosperm, but the germ and bran contain many other proteins that may lower the likelihood of gut irritation, Dr. Killilea says. (Refined flour discards these protective components of wheat.)
Someone with celiac disease would still not be able to tolerate whole grains, he says, but some people who say they are gluten sensitive have reported that they can enjoy breads made from whole grains. Dr. Killilea recently began a collaboration with The Bread Lab to assess how the milling process might affect a person's sensitivity to gluten.
Public health professionals have struggled for years to get people to eat more whole grains, without much success. A paper published last year in The Journal of Nutrition noted that the top barriers to consumption of whole grains included color, price, texture and taste. The authors write, "the products benefit no one if they fail to provide the taste profile consumers expect."
That's where many in the new whole grains movement are stepping in. By hosting "wheat tastings" and helping farmers breed different varieties of wheat, Community Grains is introducing people not only to new tastes but also to terroir, the sense of place dear to French winemakers.
"Once you have a chocolate-chip cookie with whole-wheat flour, you never go back," said Sherry Yard, a former executive pastry chef for Wolfgang Puck, who also bakes with Community Grains flour. She notes its "layers of flavors" and "beautiful richness."
In 2012, she revamped Spago's entire menu to whole grains. "I crossed my fingers on opening night, thinking, 'I'm gonna get hung on Sunset Boulevard,'" Ms. Yard said. Instead, "No one missed it." Now heading up Culinary Direction at iPic Entertainment, Ms. Yard is planning to open her own shop next year in Los Angeles, Helms Bakery, where whole grains will take center stage.

Well I've managed to create an item in Creatures 3 that when pressed pops out an egg. Despite my best efforts though, it doesn't appear to be very random which breed it uses. And the Norn that eventually decided to press it pressed it over 30 times in rapid sucession. Which I don't think is quite what I want. I think I shall need to tweak things a bit. Plus maybe create my own Norn breed that is randomly coloured.
But overall I think that's a big w00t! And much "go me"-ness.

Nobody knows exactly how the moon formed, but this is one possibility. After the planet Earth formed (along with the other planets), about four and a half billion years ago, during the Hadean Eon, there were still a lot of leftover bits of rock going around the Sun. These leftover rocks were not part of any planet. One especially big chunk of rock smashed into the Earth. Most of it stuck and became part of the Earth, but some bits splashed off the Earth. Earth's gravity caught some of these rocks and they started to orbit around the Earth.
About 45 million years after the Earth formed, many of these orbiting rocks stuck together to become the moon. Other planets often have moons too, though they didn't all form in exactly the same way.
At first, the moon was probably much closer to Earth. Probably it spun around much faster than it does now. Earth's gravity, pulling on the moon, has gradually slowed it down. So now the same side of the moon is always facing the Earth. All the moons on the other planets do this too.
The oldest rocks on the moon are about as old as the oldest rocks on Earth. That's because the Earth and the moon cooled down at about the same time. Like the Earth's rocks, most of the rocks on the moon's surface are made of silica – a combination of silicon and oxygen atoms. The moon's surface is about 60 miles thick on the side away from us. It's about 100 miles thick on the side towards us. That's because the Earth's gravity has pulled more of the crust to our side of the moon.
Inside the moon, it is hot, but not as hot as Earth. The moon is much smaller and cooled off faster than Earth. It's not hot enough anymore for tectonic plates to shift around as they do on Earth. The core of the moon, like Earth's core, is probably made mainly of iron.
On the surface of the moon, it's like a rocky desert. The sky looks all black. That's because there is no atmosphere to reflect the sunlight and make it seem blue. The moon is so small, it hasn't got enough gravity to hold on to very many light molecules like oxygen or hydrogen. The oxygen and hydrogen just float off into space.
The moon circles around the Earth just as the Earth circles around the sun, because of centrifugal force and gravity. The moon doesn't have any light of its own. It's just a ball of rock. We see the moon shining because the moon reflects the light of the sun. Depending on where the moon is and where the sun is, and where you are on the Earth, you may be able to see all of the side of the moon that's lit up by the sun. We call that a full moon. Or you might only be able to see a tiny sliver of the part of the moon that's lit up by the sun. We call that a new moon.
As the moon goes around the earth, we cycle between new moons and full moons every month. It takes about a month for the moon to get all the way around the earth. That takes us from one full moon to the next full moon. That's why we call it a month. The word "month" comes from the word "moon". Here's a short video showing how this works (the big ball in the middle is the Sun, the colored ball is the Earth, and the tiny ball going around the Earth is the Moon):
When the earth gets between the moon and the sun, the earth's shadow falls on the moon. The earth's shadow that blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon and creates an eclipse of the moon. On the other hand, when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, that's an eclipse of the sun.

My name is Kim McIlrath. Welcome to my blog, Singledou[b]t.
I am a single woman living in New York City. I moved to the city almost 9 years ago expecting to only be here a couple of years but soon found myself in love and desiring not to leave.
I am a "struggling" artist. By struggling, I mean I love to create but I am shy so my art often takes a back seat. I love photography, writing, knitting, cooking, and creating. I find life in finding ways to create or recreate.
My blog was started almost a year ago as I felt an itch to leave my 9-5 and pursue my artistic passions. Writing has been something I have done since I was 9 or 10 but never let the world see it. I finally decided to take the plunge and let those around me see my various musings.
My blog is as eclectic as I am. Most days its centered around my faith and what I am learning. Other days its focused on what I am creating. My heart and goal for my blog is to share what I am learning, whether its in my creating or from my faith in the living God. Often times, I am processing out loud and love to hear how others have learned from similar experiences. Blogging is a way for me to channel my creativity, an outlet for the things that I am passionate about.
I love to learn. I love to find new ways to express myself. One thing I want to see come out of being a part of blogging communities is having a fresh perspective on the world and lives around me. Seeing how blogging and living life out loud affects others in a positive way is an area I want to continue to grow in.

The bearded stranger was a friend of my brother but my brother was in Nigeria. When the stranger turned up in my home town we welcomed him. My father took him for lunch and in the evening the family all entertained him at our sports club. And in the afternoon I was pleased to drive him around our town in my taxi. I had time to show him the sights because not many people used my taxi: it had a reputation.
Our town is al-Mansoura is in the Nile Delta and is famous for its women. When an army of Crusaders, led by the French king Louis, invaded Egypt, the French nobility stayed for a long time in al-Mansoura. For this reason, we say, our blood is partly French and our women are beautiful.
We drove to the university: they wouldn't let him in. We drove to the museum: it had pictures of the Arabs defeating Louis' army and wooden furniture saying it was Louis', 700 years old. We drove into the country, along the road which runs beside the river Damietta. The countryside is flat, the fields are green, the roads are lined with trees and canals. On the roof of every hut sugar cane leaves are laid out to dry in the sun. Away from the town, the air is fresh: we are freed of the smell from the fertiliser factory.
When I dropped him at the bus station, so he could get back to Cairo, he was really grateful for my family's hospitality and that I had spent so much time away from earning money in my taxi. No problem, I told him, it was a part-time job for me. And anyway few people ever hailed me for a lift: the taxi had been really cheap to buy after it had been dragged out of the Damietta last year with three corpses in it.


text: I love Jon Klassen's illustrations in this new book by Lemony Snicket. The Dark tells the story of Laszlo, a lovely little boy who leads a strangely solitary existence and is scared of the dark. Klassen's nostalgic illustrations are delightful, embracing a warm rosy palette combined with the bold forms of the ever lurking blackness. If you have ever been scared of the dark, I thoroughly recommend you read this book!

text: Shake and Shimmy~East Bay / Oakland 6.1 Quake. This morning's 6.1 quake was the strongest I've felt in my 12 years living in Oakland. More than the usual light shakers and tremblers, this lasted longer: 7-8 seconds of movement, and was more intense. The house moved sideways and back, over and over, as if someone was trying to push it in one direction, only to have it roll back; like trying to push a house onto a trailer. The dogs went crazy, startled awake in the dark, seeing nothing they ran to doors, jumped up on beds to gain vantage, to protect us. But they were scared. The first response: comforting them, all the while wondering if a bigger one would follow this set of small waves. This kind of movement is consistent with my last post about Earthquake readiness. For some quakes along the East Bay faults, like our Hayward Fault, seismic energy runs horizontally, due to the bedrock substrates- so say geologists. Many places along the SF San Andreas Fault have a type of bedrock that transports shock waves vertically, so you would fall trying to walk during a tremor. For many quakes in the East Bay, you would sway from the side to side movement. The media is telling us this maybe the first wave, the 'sleeper hit' that preludes the 'big one' predicted to occur within a week. Ha! Hard to say if this is meaningful geologic logic, or media sensationalism. Unfortunately, it is true that many of the East Bay faults, like the Hayward Fault, are overdue for a large release; it's been over 130 years since the last one on this fault line. So I welcome these little shimmies, shakes, and shudders, and I hope that we have enough small tremors and quakes to add up to a significant release of energy- with a minimum of harm to people and property, of course. This kind of activity always makes us think of the emergency plans we are supposed to all have in place in CA. We do the usual now; check emergency kits: flashlights, batteries, candles, fresh water, radios, blankets, propane tanks, emergency shut off gas valves and wrenches. We remind ourselves of the first contacts on the family/friends call list, posted inside the pantry, and the first call or text we hope to get the opportunity to make, before cell tower circuits overload and shut down. The first call/text you make in a disaster of any kind- is an important topic. Judging from past catastrophes, time is always a factor. With only cell phones and no land lines in most homes these days- options are further limited and timed. If you can only make one call, to whom should it be? Mos def someone who will help get the word out to everyone in your clan, yes? We decided that it should be someone fairly savvy with texting. And if local cell towers are damaged, each one of us in our house needs one person outside the area whom we can mutually reach, in case we cannot reach each other. They say that calls outside the area can be easier to make than call across the Bay- if local cell towers are down. For the first time, today, we talked about what we should say: if you only have a few seconds; tell your condition and location. Something like "We're on the 880 between San Jose and Oakland, caught in traffic, but fine," works. Since Boy beast works in SF and I work in Oakland, the status of a bridge can mean everything, as we all know. Speaking of bridges, with our new retrofitted Bay Bridge, I am counting on a better outcome with this bridge, than with the last one during the big '89 Bay quake the Loma Prieta. So, how does one go about 'retrofitting' a bridge with shears, baffles, and shock absorbers to make it ready for action for "the big one"? Here is a glimpse of the engineering and construction that took place over the last 11 years, to earthquake retrofit the new Bay Bridge linking SF and Oakland. I think it's kinda cool.

If you're looking to adopt the gamification leaderboard, you should start with version 2:
Gamification: Course Leaderboard ver 2
Problem domain:
While STEM industry is growing as much as 28% since year 2000, compared to 6% in other industries, and 230,246 STEM jobs were created in 2014-2015, skilled workers are not available. Universities produced only 30,835 graduates from 2014-2015. The attrition rate in STEM education is significant. 48% of bachelor's candidates and 69% of associate's candidates left STEM majors. There are many reasons, but some are associated with myths college faculty hold on to about teaching and learning. Shedding light on those myths and disseminating the science behind Scholarship of Teaching and Learning may help address the problem.
Technical elements:
- Responsive design adopted to resize the graphs as the screen size changes
- Encryption provided by no cost Let's Encrypt SSL certificate: https://letsencrypt.org/
- User data is never stored on the server side
- Privacy is ensured by generating random student names
- Accessibility ensured by text representation of graphical elements updated in real-time
- Game changer app: De-emphasize the meritocratic view of failure in education introduced by Napoleon (merit is rewarded; failure means your own doing; everyone can be successful; nobody else to blame for failure, but yourself). Instead, the Greeks had a more balanced view of failure to stress that bad things happen to good people. Life can be tragic and learning, catharsis, and empathy may be more important than success. Schools are focused too much on meritocracy and Big Data is taking us into dark places for learning.

Moving to a different home can be stressful, especially if you tend to push things to the last minute. Most people don't realize that a little bit of preparation can come a long way. In addition to living less stress, it will be more efficient from start to finish. If you are planning on moving this year, or you are currently in the process of moving, here is the perfect checklist to ensure that your move runs smoothly and efficiently.
The main question that comes up again and again is: movers or friends? A mix of the two may be ideal. For example, large furniture and appliances may require professional help, while boxes may be more easily movable with your friends. In either case, there may be advantages and disadvantages.
Choosing your friends is definitely the more economical choice. You get to spend time with them and celebrate once the work is over. On the other hand, you may run into issues that include slacking or cancelling at the last minute.
As for the movers, you will have a more peaceful mind knowing that the work will get finished in a timely and professional manner. Nevertheless, the costs are higher.
Planning your move a few weeks in advance will make everything run smoothly.
On the day of the move, you should be completely ready to move into your new apartment. Do a final check of the rooms and insure that nothing has been forgotten.
If you are still looking for the perfect apartment to rent in Montreal, contact Akelius Montreal! Our apartments are refurbished, well located and include several facilities.
Download the checklist to have it on hand for your move and check it to make sure you don't forget anything!

The special equipment for metal smelting furnace is an automatic dumping type. The smelting capacity can be from several hundred kilograms to 20T. The low power adopts IGBT type, and the high power adopts thyristor type. It is convenient and fast. It is suitable for steel, stainless steel, iron, Heating and smelting of metals such as copper, brass, gold, silver, aluminum, and aluminum alloys, and precious metals.
The dumping type intermediate frequency melting furnace is of high quality, user-friendly design, and simple in operation. It requires no professional workers. After simple training, it can be operated on the machine. It can perform timely and precise automatic control according to the current state of the workpiece being processed. Analog or digital circuit processing, adjust the power or frequency, so that the workpiece heating temperature or depth automatically adjusts to meet the process requirements. Induction heating regulation is more sophisticated, usually by adjusting the phase shift, pulse duty cycle and other parameters to adjust the heating power, once the heating temperature is determined according to the process requirements, due to its own negative feedback, it will be kept at the same temperature, Realize constant power control. The temperature uniformity is good and the temperature difference can be controlled at 1%, improving product quality and pass rate.
Induction heating smelting is more efficient than flame heating smelting. It has a high output per unit time. The heating efficiency is 30%~50% higher than that of flame heating, and the heating efficiency is high. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce the low burn of the oxide scale on the metal surface, saving material and The cost, especially for the heating of precious metals is even more important. For example, under normal circumstances, the heating of metal parts by thermoforming, the burning rate of inductively heated metal is about 0.5%, and the burning of metal heated by flame furnace is about 1%~3%, which means that induction heating saves 2% than flame heating. %about.
One of the most outstanding advantages of induction heating and flame heating is reflected in the fact that induction heating does not produce an open flame and eliminates the possibility of dangerous events such as fire and explosion. The safety is greatly improved. At the same time, it does not produce exhaust gases and dust such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur oxides. The external radiation has low heat, low noise, and the working environment can be purified and the health level can be guaranteed.
Using all-solid-state IGBT frequency conversion and power regulation, the equipment has designed a full range of protection functions, such as over-current protection, under-water protection, over-temperature protection, over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and phase loss protection, which greatly increase the reliability of the equipment;
Metal melting furnace special equipment has a variety of display functions, such as current display, voltage display, time display, making the equipment work conditions visualized, for the design of induction coil and capacitance adjustment more guidance;
Ultra-small size, light weight, mobile, less than one square meter;
24 hours of continuous smelting capacity;
Power saving, environmental protection, electromagnetic stirring ability, more uniform melting, cost savings.

To make them understand different computer and free software related terms we are facing real time grilling. Actually our first test came just on Day 2 when we started teaching them what is network and what are servers and clients. Ajitesh gave a example of Doctors and Patients and one Doctor serving several patients as Server and Clients. I think Ajitesh Acted finely as again giving a nice example of presence of mind. Actually our skills of giving examples are improving day by day and thanks to the students of the school.
The next big deal was to make them understand what is a password and why do we use it ? Actually we had to give a example which they have seen in real life, So I choose taking the example of key combination locks and even number locks. I think the idea behind using password will not be very clear till they have a hands on, till they now know what is password and why using it. The next stunning thing which happened is a boy while telling this told "amar monehoy password anekta mobile phone er PIN er moton" which in english means that I think password is something like the PIN in mobile phones. Beleive me I was really shocked as we are teaching someone about password of computers and he is replying with PIN of mobile phones is strange…Then he told something which make us feel ki getting shocked is something which we shud make habbit. When he was asked about how do you know about PIN He told "asole mobile hate niye dekechi tai jani, computer thakleo sike jetam" which in English means I have seen mobile and used it if i would have used computers i would learn this things too. After this i think i am not in a state of commenting on his line and so i kept mum.
Beton on day 3 again sprang up with typical examples of his own. While they were learning about DESKTOP the buttons on a paricular window etc etc. While explaining maximization of a window and after maximization of window same button acting as restore Beton told them " tomra KBC dekecho ?? " which means in eng ki "Did u people saw KBC ?? " most of nodded +vely (i m happy that SRK has so many fans even here asme too is a fan of him ) , then beton said " KBC te jerokom bhabe 20000Rs er por akta lifeline ashe serokom bhabe maximize howar porei oitai restore button hoy na hole hoy na" translating which stands as As in KBC after 20000Rs a new lifeline comes but doesnt come before samely maximize button becomes restore only after maximization not before that. Beleive me till the whole example was given i didnt have a hint of this type being a example but i am happy that students did understood the fact KBC and the buttons in a window :)) .
We r carrying around finely we need a little pace, hope we get it soon.

As we prepare for the release of the AMAZING video for "DAMN NEAR" (to be premiered on August 15th, the same day as my HUGE show at Aloft Brooklyn), here are the final lyrics to it.
This is definitely one of my favorite songs on my album AIM HIGH.
You've been the spring in my step
7 months of intimate breaths
You said I'm the one but not yet
(You might be my next regret)
Priority to me
Yet you can't say the same for me
Sayin what will be will be
(Like we don't shape our own destinies)
Baby, you said I'm damn near your everything
As if damn near is comforting
Got my heart on string
On your words dangling
Given you the world
I don't understand
Why I'm not your girl
And you're not my man
But I'm damn near it
Ain't that some...
Damn near (4x)
Ain't enough
"Tired of orbiting around your love but never landing/ Made you my galaxy/ Thought our stars would come crashing together but/ you got me drifting./ You know what..."
My patience is running thin
You say wait but I don't think I can
Asking me to give you all of me
(Like getting half of you should make me happy)
You say what did I expect
Well we didn't DAMN NEAR have sex
My heart you didn't damn near protect
You're just another regret
And I'm supposed to act like it's all fine
When damn near's just a freaking waste of my time
Damn near doesn't even make you mine
This is it, it's the last time I settle for…
Ooh, I want it all baby (repeat 8x)
Collecting broken women to make yourself whole
This type of game I pray gets old
This kinda love, you can't afford
It's high risk but high reward
