In Farm to Fable, Robert Grillo Uncovers Dangerous Marketing Fantasies
Farm to Fable is an eye-opening book that answers the question: Why do people in modern societies eat animals, when it is not necessary for (in fact is harmful to) our health and survival? Author Robert Grillo shows that a series of manipulative fictions keep animals on our collective plates. His insider's perspective as a marketing consultant (including former work on Happy Meal boxes) is the ideal basis for his careful research and insightful analysis. His book continues the powerful work on his extensive site Free From Harm.
I was happy to talk with Robert, and my most pressing question was how people who
choose to eat meat react when the animal food industry fictions are so starkly exposed. He has gotten these feelings from his readers. "They're taken by how many deeply entrenched fictions there are. The facts are stunning, and make them think of other ways society gets us to accept things that are otherwise deplorable. They are ready to get involved, and take steps to change their diet. For the general public, my hope is that the book will prompt them to question what appears to be "normal" in their everyday lives. I hope that they might better see how we are being manipulated to make food choices that ultimately betray our core values of kindness, reciprocity, and decency."
Robert shared that the book is rooted in knowing that choices are tied to beliefs, and beliefs can be transformed by powerful truths. "We must first identify and expose the fictions of animal consumption to then disempower them. The change we want to see requires that we disempower theses fictions through a massive grassroots, public education campaign which in turn will disempower the animal exploitation industries."
Farm to Fable is articulate, carrying you along with the power of its insights. This is
powerful, memorable writing, with Robert in complete mastery of both his subject and his words. There is no need for hype or manipulation, because the bare facts are enough. The book flows through deeply entrenched animal foods fantasies with gathering momentum and force.
For example, one of the several foundational fictions of the animal foods industry is consent. As Robert writes: "All too often, farmed animals are portrayed as willing participants in whatever we want to do to them. By portraying the relationship between farmer and the animals he exploits as consensual, we, as consumers of his products, are misled into believing that other animals don't mind being used against their will, thereby reducing the issue to one of how we treat them."
The idea that some sort of human superiority to animals makes it okay to kill and eat them is another foundational fiction. As Robert powerfully observes in the book: "We act on this sense of superiority at every opportunity. The notion that human interests "trump" animal interests when we create an imaginary conflict of interest is particularly delusional when one considers that we wantonly kill sixty billion land animals and kill another trillion or so aquatic animals every year, not to protect any
important human interest but just to suit our pleasure in eating them."
After demolishing a number of other foundational fictions, Farm to Fable covers other key issues in the animal foods industries. One of the most important of these is humane-washing, as Robert shows that feel-good labels such as "free-range" and "cage-free" have little meaning, and in no way make animal foods kind or justifiable.
Robert asserts that being vegan is not a state of purity. In fact, it's so easy to be plant-based with the convenient options in stores, that a choice to be vegan consists of reaching for different products on store shelves. Not too difficult. As he observes toward the end of his book: "Veganism is far from perfection. Being vegan is a huge step in the right direction with very little effort proportionate to its immensely positive impact, but it's actually not the most we can do for animals and the planet. It is the least we can do."
If you care about animals and the truth about your food, Farm to Fable is a must-read book. Its countless insights into the indefensibility of the tactics that keep you eating meat will free you to make choices that are healthier for you, and will end suffering for billions of farmed animals. If you are already on a plant-based diet, Farm to Fable will strengthen your motivation and give you excellent insights to use in talking with others.

text: Hi everyone. I would really appreciate any help you could give me with this. I've been searching around for an answer, but I haven't found any solutions referring to this problem that actually worked. My iCal (4.0.4) was syncing perfectly with iCloud for over a year now. I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. All of a sudden a month or so ago when I opened iCal I got an error message that it could not log me into iCal. I thought my password had expired, so I reset all of that, but it still didn't work. A few days later I deleted my account info out of iCal and added it back again by using the CalDAV account type and server "p01-caldav.icloud.com," same as before. The first few times it rejected it, then it worked and synced everything again. However, the next time I opened iCal, it gave me the error message again and I have not been able to add the account back since then. I keep getting this message when I try to add the iCloud account "iCal found the CalDAV server "p01-caldav.icloud.com", but couldn't log in with the user name "XXXX". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again." The user name and password are right though because I just logged into iCloud.com with the same info. Any info anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated because it's driving me nuts not being able to edit my calendar from iCal.

I am currently in the midst of applying to grad school for speech-language pathology. I told you guys in a previous post that I was going to blog my whole journey and I figured that before I dive into the deep stuff, I should probably explain the process for those of you who are new or those of you who are freshmen in the major who just don't quite know what's going on (btw, that's TOTALLY OKAY! There's so much to learn and know as a CSD undergrad/future SLP). So this post is all about the grad school basics and what to do if you're considering applying!
Grad school is scary. The thought has always terrified me and I'm still not quite over the fact that THIS IS REAL AND I'M ACTUALLY APPLYING. I still haven't totally narrowed down my schools yet but I have a few solid choices and I'm starting to kind of get really excited? There are a lot of things you have to do in order to prepare yourself for the process so I'm going to share those things right now. I'm hoping to make a separate post on each of these things sometime in the future so stay tuned for that!
GRE scores
Arguably the most stressful part about applying to grad school is taking the GRE. The GRE is required in order to be considered for most graduate school programs. It's a 3 hour and 45 minute exam that can be taken on the computer or on paper at a designated testing center. It has three sections: verbal (reading/comprehension), quantitative (covering math concepts such as algebra), and writing. I will usually tell people it's the SAT for grad school, which it pretty much is! Although I don't recall being this stressed about the SATs (#womp)
Official transcripts
You'll have to request these from your school at some point, and usually they'll charge you. Applying to grad school is expensive, in case no one has told you already!
Letters of recommendation
Some schools require two, some require three, some require three but two have to be letters from ASHA certified SLPs so make sure you read each school's specific requirements before submitting!
Personal statement or writing sample
Most schools require some sort of writing sample from you about why you want to be an SLP in the first place, how your experiences have shaped you into the student and future clinician you hope to be, and why you want to attend their program! Again, each school might be a little bit different so be sure you're checking each school's specific instructions and requirements.
In addition, some schools require a resume from you with your application. I highly recommend updating your resume frequently and adding pertinent volunteer work and jobs to it as soon as you can so you don't forget!

Reading is food for the brain
If you are reading this post, then you are certain about the importance of 'reading'.
To acquire knowledge with aim of increasing one's understanding, is reading enough? The answer is yes, but the question remains, how?
We need to think about how we read and Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book is a perfect place to start with. Published in 1940, it immediately became a bestseller, and since that time the book has been updated many times, famously and notably by Charles van Doren in the 1970's.
Most of the times, we think reading is something that you can do or you cannot – that is you can either read or not. The truth, however, is that reading is a skill that can be improved with knowledge and practice.
The goal of reading determines how you read. If you're reading for entertainment, you're going to read a lot differently and…

Progress Updates linked under respective yard header.
I've worked my yard for years with bizarre themes and massive scale projects. Now I have 2 other yards to deal with: my brother's and my grandmother's. Each will have a radically different theme and approach.
I'm going with an undersea theme for my yard, with massive critters and some new tricks I haven't tried before.
For my brother's yard, since he now lives in the sticks and actually has to deal with a bear that constantly comes into his yard (codename: Baloo), there will be a reverse hunting theme, with traps gone wrong and a bear (more Yogi in style than National Geographic) literally pulling the strings.
Hunter Caught in Own Trap*NEW
Finally, for my grandmother's yard, it's more of a traditional Halloween feel based off of a greeting card she enjoys:
She runs a window art business and gets all her inspiration from a massive collection of greeting cards, and this one jumped out as a possible collaborative effort. I get to do my wire and light work, while she get to put her stamp on the paint element.

DIYCA Stream: Do It Yourself and Community Archiving
As part of the 2016 program, the conference offered four curated streams of programming. The streams are indicated in the program.
DIYCA: Do It Yourself and Community Archiving. Materials coming from the independent media community, and archivists who support that community often work against major hurdles. Answering those challenges often result in low-cost, do-it-yourself and open source solutions for archiving moving images.
This stream investigates these solutions and methodologies for archiving independent, activist and community archives.
Goals of the stream:
- To advocate for DIY and Community Archiving as part of a professional tract (in the same way volunteerism and public engagement is expected of librarians and doctors.)
- To connect professionals and the general public the through workshops and skillshares
- To reveal underserved collections through screenings and sessions
- To explore the implications of working with emotionally-charged collections.
- To help archivists manage underserved collections and self-determine their technological and infrastructural needs.
Friday, November 11 | 9:30am
DIY&CA: Building Regional AV Preservation Coalitions Using the Community Archiving Model
- Mona Jimenez, NYU Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program
- Yvonne Ng, Witness
- Marie Lascu, XFR Collective
- Kelli Hix, Smithsonian Institution
- Sandra Yates, McGovern Historical Center, Texas Medical Library
The Community Archiving Workshop (CAW) model is growing. Now going into its 7th year, the CAW Organizing Committee proposes to establish regional coalitions, which will serve as anchors for local AV preservation efforts. The CAW proposes to meet increasing demand with the establishment of a Training of Trainers curriculum that can be disseminated widely in partnership with regional archives and organizations. Next steps for the CAW include the development of a Training of Trainers curriculum, an enhanced Organizer's Toolkit and support to strengthen regional networks for AV preservation. In this session we will solicit feedback and suggestions from AMIA members who have participated in past workshops and/ or who are interested in delivering workshops in their own regional communities. Documentation and data collected from this day will play an essential role to the further development of the CAW model and subsequent toolkit and training.

- Keith Wilson , People's Archive of Police Violence
- Carol Steiner, People's Archive of Police Violence
- Caroline Gil, Independent Archivist
- Skyla Hearn , DuSable Museum of African American History
Accepted standards and best practices for audiovisual archiving usually emerge from institutional contexts (e.g. libraries, universities, professional organizations), and are not always applicable or sufficient when working with community-based groups or alternative media-makers. How do archivists working in traditional institutions foster more reciprocal and collaborative relationships with communities to preserve their histories? What are the affective, emotional, or other social dynamics involved with archiving documentation of police violence? What are some lessons learned from participatory approaches to archiving the work of independent artists and the collections of grassroots media distributors? This panel will examine the particular challenges of working in these contexts, and the practices that emerge from them.

- Robin Margolis, UCLA
- Chris Ivey , East of Liberty film Series and Hypeboy Media
This session will feature director Chris Ivey speaking and sharing clips from his ongoing documentary project East of Liberty. Entering its fourth installment, the East of Liberty series explores the hopes and fears of community members in a neighborhood experiencing rapid redevelopment, aiming to "create a historical record that captures the essence of community change and exposes taboos in frank conversation-from displacement to neighborhood violence to discussions of race and class." Ivey will speak to the challenges of working responsibly with community members to portray a changing neighborhood, as well as share segments from previous films and a preview of the newest chapter, Youth Rising. He will be joined by East Liberty residents connected to the films.

- Lauren Sorensen, UCLA
- Rachel Mattson , La MaMa Archives
- Nicole Martin, Human Rights Watch
- Dinah Handel, New York Public Library
- Kristin Lipska, California Audiovisual Preservation Project (CAVPP)
From receiving digitized video files back from vendors, to bash shell scripting, archivists are frequently finding themselves as the technology leads of their underfunded departments, or newly managing contractors for technology projects. This session will introduce some software programs that archivists have used to make their lives easier, and discuss strategies for taking the fear out of technology in the archives. Panelists will introduce a handful of tools and scripts that help facilitate different areas of a digital collections' lifecycle, as well as discussing workplace matters and experiences in the field.

DIY&CA: : Think-For-Yourself, Do-It-Yourself: Revealing Independent Media from Behind the Iron Curtain
- Allie Whalen
political and social unrest for free expression, communication, and survival of marginalized voices. Between 1950 and 1990, political suppression paradoxically sparked creative action across the underground arts scene of Eastern Europe from secret concerts, actions, and happenings to self-published zines and media. This presentation explores salvaged collections hidden behind the Iron Curtain, how artists became accidental archivists, and where collections once concealed in basements or confiscated by secret police have ended up today and how they are being preserved. Case studies describe the methodologies of archives throughout Europe where independent and community archiving actions are taking place despite limited environments to safeguard these collections, and how prominent figures from the underground scene are active in archiving. This presentation stems from on-site research for my 2015 MIAP thesis "I Will Counterrevolution / I Will Stop All The Motion: Archiving Exile, Samizdat, and Underground Audio from the Eastern Bloc".
Friday, November 11 | 6:15pm | Point Park University | GRW Theatre
DIY&CA: Evening Screening: Filmmaking as Community Activism
- Amy Sloper, Wisconsin Center for FIlm & Theater Research
- Tony Buba
This program will present a screening of LIGHTNING OVER BRADDOCK: A RUSTBOWL FANTASY (1988, 80 mins) followed by a discussion with Tony Buba, an independent filmmaker who uses documentary as a form of community activism in the Pittsburgh area. As president of Braddock Films, Tony Buba has been producing documentaries since 1972 in both long and short formats. In addition to producing personal work, Braddock Films has been involved in producing award-winning documentaries in the Pittsburgh area. He has focused his energies on the crumbling landscape of Braddock, Pennsylvania, a once-thriving steel town, whose people and environments have been directly affected by the age of post-industrial decline.

On Saturday, men, women and children from every city in Scotland poured into our capital city in their thousands to show their support for Scotland becoming a democracy. It was one of the largest political demonstrations in Scottish history.
The march attracted members of almost every serious political party in Scotland, and people who are members of no party. Speakers from the National Party, the Socialist Party, from the Labour Party, the Green Party, non-party lawyers, and the doyenne of pro-democracy politics, Margo MacDonald, spoke passionately about the future of Scotland to an enthusiastic crowd of over 10.000.
The YES campaign has shown itself to be an incredibly broad church. The support of many of our fellow Europeans on the march (demonstrators came from Padania, Catalunya, Wales, Ireland, Bavaria and Flanders, amongst others) shows the affection in which Scotland is held in our European Union.
There was only one slight sour note to the day. The presence, and eventual arrest, of several Better Together supporters, who attacked some marchers and attempted to incite disorder, spoke volumes of the type of campaign which will be run by the anti-Scotland side.
It is clear that the Better Together campaign is well aware that they cannot win a fair referendum based on an analysis of the debate. More than three centuries into the union between Scotland and England, the unionists have still not managed to elucidate a single positive argument for creating or maintaining the union.
The Better Together campaigners, a motley crew of Labour, BNP, Conservative, the fascist Orange Order, and Scottish Defence League members know this.
They know, that if they were to organise a pro-union march, they would be humiliated. With no way to outdo the pro-Scotland demonstration, the next best option is to disrupt it.
This is why the Better Together campaigners were sent out to Edinburgh to cause trouble. An outbreak of violence would have been a dream come true for the Better Together organisers. Fortunately, the pro-Scotland marchers behaved with honour and dignity, an allowed the police to do their job. We must be on our guard always, for this is a tactic they will use every time we rally.
Aware that sending their SDL and Orange thugs out to attack families and incite violence on a sunny day in Edinburgh will not in itself persuade people to vote in favour of the union, the Better Together organisers have already decided that it they can only win the referendum by acting outside the law.
On Sunday, the Herald revealed that the Better Together organisation had been gathering intelligence on voters without their consent - a criminal offence.
Not a technical offence, not an overlooking of the rules, but a criminal offence.
The Better Together campaign have already indicated that they intend to continue using this illegally-gathered information stolen from innocent voters.
It is possible to overlook a criminal offence in the first instance. However, when the perpetrator of a crime asserts openly that they will continue to completely ignore the criminal code, and benefit from the widespread theft of data, then there is only one option.
The Better Together campaign must be ordered to destroy all data received by it before it properly registered with the Data Commissioner. And if it does not do so, then its directors must be prosecuted from their crime.
The Better Together campaign has started with violence and criminality.
Is this the positive case for the union?

Cost efficiency is the primary reason why one would purchase used or cheap golf clubs. However, you need to be careful on doing this or else instead of being able to save money, you might be spending money on not-so-good buys.
Before parting with your hard-earned savings, consider the following guidelines on buying cheap golf clubs. These would protect you not only from wasting your money from wrong purchases but also from losing so many rounds due to poor play because of low quality golf clubs. Remember, buying discounted golf clubs do not have warranty on them so you are on your own once you bought them. Therefore, be wise and be careful.
Guides on buying cheap golf clubs
1. Assess what you need to buy first. The rules of golf allow you to have 14 clubs in the golf bag. There are four categories of golf clubs, namely putter, iron, woods and wedges. For your baseline set, you would need a driver, a putter, 3-wood, 5-wood and 3 iron. This is the basic set but as you go on to becoming a pro, you could adjust the set based on what you think is perfect for you. Once you are decided on the things that you need to buy, start your search for your clubs.
2. Buy only from refutable people, shops or online sites. There are many sellers of used golf clubs but how well do you know them? Make your homework and do research. Check the websites rockbottomgolf.com or the reputation of the one selling the clubs. Read the forums. Ask people who are more experienced than you. Look around before you make the final purchase. Do not be swayed with the marketing strategy of speedy buying or last day of sale gimmicks. This is the best time to take it slow and look at the products more carefully. Remember, if the offer is too good to be true, then it is probably exactly that.
3. Examine the club head very carefully. This is very basic and important. Do not buy the golf club even if the whole club looks real good except for the head. Scrutinize the details. How is the condition of the club head? Is it visibly worn? Is there a soft luster on the surface? If there is, that could be indicative of dullness to a sheen, which is not a good sign of a good golf club. A good buy is one which club head is in good condition.
4. Another important thing to note is the condition of the shaft of the golf club. Put in mind that a good swing is also dependent on a good shaft, among other things. A good shaft, on the other hand, has many factors to be considered. Is it straight or crooked? Are there any nicks, cracks, chips, dents or any type of wear and tear on it? What is it made of?
5. Check the grips. Discover how you would feel when you hold the golf club. If it feels right, then that is a good sign. Trust your feelings and go with the club that feels right rather than sounds right.
6. Buy cheap golf clubs at the right time. When is the best time? Usually after the Christmas season, around January to March. You would find good deals because this is usually the time that people sell some of their equipment.
Buying cheap golf clubs can be a daunting experience but it can also be a very rewarding event in your life. Make it fun and increase your knowledge in the process as you get to know more people and learn more about the golf clubs, at the same time.

During the last three decades, public academic research in cryptography has exploded. While classical cryptography has been long used by ordinary people, computer cryptography was the exclusive domain of the world's militaries since the World War II. Today, state-of the-art computer cryptography is practiced outside the secured walls of the military agencies. The laypersons can now employ security practices that can protect against the most powerful adversaries.

Jim Wallis Now Supports Same-Sex Marriage/
This won't exactly come as a surprise, but just like President Obama who used to be against gay marriage before he was for it, leftist Jim Wallis, founder and CEO of Sojourners, now says he, too, has evolved his position. In an interview with The Huffington Post, Wallis says he now believes that if marriage as a sacrament and institution is to be strengthened, then same-sex couples should be a part of that solution.
Here is where The Christian Post picks up the story:
When The Huffington Post asked Wallis to clarify if that meant he specifically supports same-sex marriage, Wallis answered, "yes."
A spokesperson for Sojourners confirmed with The Christian Post on Monday that this was the first time that Wallis has publicly stated that position. Wallis was stating what he believed from a "civil legal perspective" what the law should be, but was not stating a theological position about whether churches should endorse same-sex marriage, the spokesperson said. The spokesperson could not say whether or not Wallis believes homosexuality is a sin.
Wallis' new position also comes with strong support for the religious liberty of churches that hold the traditional view of marriage in states that have redefined it, and a deep concern for the decline of marriage more generally.
Wallis added that those who oppose government recognition of same-sex marriages should not be called "bigots" for holding that position.
"On the issue of gay marriage, you can be supportive of same-sex couples being able to have the same benefits that straight couples have, but you can also be in favor of religious freedom for faith communities to figure this out in their own time, in their own scriptures, their own way. I don't think they should be called 'bigots' if they are struggling with what the Bible says about this, or might we lose marriage because of this. ... But calling each other names, we've got to stop doing that."
Wallis had previously favored civil unions for same-sex couples but believed that marriage should not be redefined to include same-sex couples.
"I don't think the sacrament of marriage should be changed. Some people say that Jesus didn't talk about homosexuality, and that's technically true. But marriage is all through the Bible, and it's not gender-neutral," Wallis said, for instance, in a 2008 interview with Christianity Today.
After President Barack Obama changed his position on same-sex marriage last year, Sojourners issued a statement calling on Obama to seek "common ground" on the marriage issue.
"We believe the best path forward is a legal system that respects the rights and responsibilities of all couples, gay or straight, and also respects the religious liberty of faith communities to define marriage consistent with their theology and scriptural understanding," Sojourners said.

Do you remember the list of my favourite cocktail bars in Milan? Rufus would definitely be on that list if it were not for the fact that it opened just recently. And not only because it finally came to fill an incomprehensible void – that of a cocktail bar or a nice place to have a drink in my area, Conciliazione. But also because it was done just the way I like it. With a beautifully decorated environment, kind service and good drinks. If you are ever in my area, head over here and get ready to relax!
Rufus has a long schedule, open from breakfast to after dinner with a break during lunchtime. I still haven't had a chance to try out the breakfast, but a friend told me that the croissants are fantastic. If you are more interested in cocktails, I understand. The bartender and owner, Alessandro, will do anything to make you happy. The various proposals include the Pisco Sour, a cocktail made with sugar, lime, pisco, egg white and Angostura, the Cup of Life, prepared with sugar, lime, amaro, gin and soda and the American Forest, with Campari, red vermouth and soda. The drinks are changed on a daily basis anyway, and you can always pick the one you want. My favourites are those made with ginger: fresh ginger, though, and not just ginger beer… A bomb!
We are exactly halfway between the Conciliazione and Pagano metro stations on the red line, next to the famous Legnani pharmacy, where, as any good hypochondriac would do, I take care of my countless alleged aches and pains. This is my area of town, therefore if you need any further suggestions please do not hesitate to ask. I can tell you that close to Rufus you can find one of my favourite Chinese restaurants, one of my beloved second hand stores and my favourite gelato shop in Milan. I'd say you have quite a wide selection of places to visit!
The place was designed and furnished with the heart, something anyone who stops by would be able to see. Although it is small, the tables are well spaced out, and everything is brand new with a touch of warmth that doesn't go unnoticed. Different genres are mixed in the furnishings, special pieces will attract your attention and there are flowers everywhere. The service is friendly and led by a guy I had already spoken to you about for his cocktails delivered straight to your home!
A cocktail at Rufus will cost you 8 euros. There's also a surprise in store: between 6:00 and 7:00pm, happy hour is celebrated. If you happen to be there during that time, any day of the week, your second drink is on the house… Cheers to that!
Via Alberto da Giussano 2, Milan

Open Monday-Saturday (7:30am–1:00pm and 5:00pm–12:00am). Closed on Sunday.

text: The psychologist spent about 2 hours with E today and talked with me for a while. He said he felt pretty sure that E has asperger's. We talked about all of his past struggles with preschool and how he is not able to maintain relationships with other kids. All in all he said he felt confident enough to make a diagnosis for him now. I filled out a ton of surveys and gave a brief history of his issues. He told me that most of the sensory stuff I brought up sounded like they were things that go along with Asperger's. He is supposed to go over the paperwork I filled out then write me up a report with an actual diagnosis. I feel weird. I've cried and felt stupid for crying. I knew he had all the signs of it...and I am glad to get an answer and hopefully a way to get him the help that he needs for school. I just wish for once I could hear 'your child is completely normal...have a nice day' and then I feel bad for wanting that. I don't want to change him. My husband was not surprised at all and said that once he started reading about asperger's then he was pretty convinced that was what E had. I am so glad to have his support with this. I still have E on a waiting list to see a dev. pediatrician...although I don't know if I should keep him on it? I asked his counselor and she said probably to still have him seen by him. We have a session with- his counselor and Occupational Therapist (OT) tomorrow. So I will pick their brains then. I did find an awesome place to take the boys to burn off energy today. We went to a gymnastics gym for the 'open gym' and for $3 and hour they can just play and play. They both loved it.

Well, dear Internet, it is once again Wednesday. Seeing as it is now the middle of the week, I feel inclined to compose yet another installment of Midweek Thoughts.
Whenever someone asks me what I'm thinking about, I always feel pressured to come up with something profound or interesting to say. The truth is I'm probably thinking something like, "I haven't had a Pop Tart in a while. I like Pop Tarts. Sometimes I toast them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have a hard time deciding whether to toast them or not. Maybe I should just flip a coin."
Actually, I do most of my serious thinking late at night while I'm trying to fall asleep. But don't you dare try calling me at 3am to ask me what I'm thinking about or I will track you down and… and… give you a stern lecture!
I know a lot of people down south whine about hardly ever getting any snow. Maybe I should start selling snow online. I'm sure there's a way to keep in frozen in transport. It would be great because I could sell it for a ridiculous price, and the snow would arrive down south where the happy recipient could enjoy it for 15 to 20 minutes before it all melts. I'll just file this idea in the "great ideas that I will never actually do" pile. By the way, don't even think about stealing this idea from me. If you do, I will track you down…
and give you a stern lecture.

It can be tough for your newly released app to achieve success in the saturated app market. Building awareness for your app is a key step for your mobile application. Making people aware that you exist helps drive traffic to your application and increase your app's acquisition metrics. Here are a few useful tips to create awareness for your mobile app.
Personalized press emails are an essential part of a strategy to create awareness for your mobile app regardless of the size of the business. Writing and distributing your mobile app press releases is a key step you do not want to skip.
Include a short summary to convince your target audience your story is worth reading. You want to make clear what your app is all about and what makes it unique at the same time. Your email should also include the name of your app, the price, the link to your Google Play Page, iTunes App Store Page, etc. Also, do not forget to add your contact information. Email marketing is powerful as it appeals to a broad audience.
Reach out to bloggers
Collaborating with influential bloggers can help raise awareness of your app during its crucial launch period. The key to success is to identify bloggers who are going to be interested in your mobile app. If they like your product, they are more likely to give you exposure. When contacting these bloggers, you do not have to be too formal. Tell them everything you know about them — interests, passions, etc. and explain to them why your app might be of interest to their audience. Basically, partnering with bloggers can be great gaining awareness for your app.
You don't have to think too big
You will be able to target a more valuable audience in small niche publications than you will in major tech blogs. Find a niche that is highly targeted. If your mobile app is in the hospitality industry for instance, contacting publications that focus on hospitality industry will be more relevant than contacting a site that reviews mobile applications from all industries.
Embrace awards
Awards can have a big impact on your app awareness campaign. Attending events associated with awards means you are in a position mingle with your potential audience and other ambitious developers. Receiving an award will also give you a point of uniqueness and help you stand out from the rest, thus boosting your marketing efforts.
Reach out to social media
Social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube is one of the key influencers and an essential strategy to market your mobile app. By partnering with popular pages with large followings, it is possible to improve on brand awareness. It also becomes an effective tool for you and your target audience to communicate. Depending on your marketing strategy and target market, social media can be an effective strategy for building awareness for your application.

Brekky Central by Adam Boland1:48
Adam Boland is set to take readers deep into the world of breakfast television as he chronicles his time at Sunrise in his new book 'Brekky Central'.
NEW details have emerged about a tell-all book by former Sunrise boss Adam Boland, who has promised to expose the secrets behind the smiles of breakfast television.
Since news of his memoir Brekky Central broke last week, the TV world has been in a tizz about exactly what Boland might reveal.
Now, in a short video clip released by publisher Melbourne University Press (MUP), the 38-year-old former small screen giant has vowed to lift the lid on the competitive and profitable world of morning TV.
He will also expose the many plots to "bring down" Sunrise — including, he teased, malicious efforts from within.
"There were plenty who wanted to bring us down — some because of our role in Kevin Rudd's rising fame, others because of simple network politics," Boland said.
TEARS AND TANTRUMS: TV scandals to be revealed in Adam Boland's tell-all book about his time at Sunrise
FALL FROM GRACE: Morning TV guru Adam Boland quits Ten
That "network politics" reference touches on the persistent rumours at the time of ill feelings inside Channel Seven that someone so young was in charge of such a vital show.
From 2003, Boland spent more than a decade at the helm of Sunrise, transforming it from a floundering program into a ratings winner for Channel Seven.
He's also responsible for making hosts Melissa Doyle and David Koch household names.
Despite the cheery persona of those who appear on screen in the early hours of each morning, Boland described the reality of the industry as "relentless" and will detail the personal toll it can take.
"For as long as I can remember, this was the only place I wanted to be," Boland said in the video, standing in what looks to be a studio control room.
As well as promising to detail how he was able to "make stars — and millions of dollars for our bosses", Boland will reveal the truly cutthroat nature of breakfast TV.
The book will also focus on the relationship between Doyle and Koch, who had a "remarkable bond" that got the pair through "times of crisis", he said.
Also included will be titbits from infamous Sunrise moments, including teen pop star Justin Bieber's concert that sparked a near-riot and Lady Gaga's disastrous live performance in 2008.
Boland said Gaga's widely panned appearance at the beginning of her career and his subsequent statement that she had mimed her lyrics sparked a "war of words" between the two.
A central focus will also be Boland's personal struggles, including his very public breakdown and struggles with mental illness.
"Sometimes the pressures become just too great," he said in the video.
After his success with Sunrise, Boland went on to create Weekend Sunrise and The Morning Show in the years that followed.
He quit Seven in 2013 and jumped ship to Network Ten, where he launched the much-hyped but ultimately failed breakfast program Wake Up.
"I'll reveal what led to the high-profile failure of what would be my final television creation," Boland said.
He also had a firm hand in the creation of Ten's morning show Studio 10, which remains on air and has enjoyed moderate successes.
Just three days after Wake Up premiered last year, Boland suffered a breakdown and took sick leave. He eventually returned, but ultimately resigned his post to ill health.
He spoke candidly about his struggles with depression in the months that followed and appeared on ABC's Australian Story.
His "final television creation" Wake Up was axed earlier this year due to poor ratings. In May, Boland announced he had moved to Canberra and was working on a book.
Brekky Central will be released in November.

A Literary Autopsy
"Now, you have all the vitals. Josef K., male, 40. Eastern European, middle child, no dependents. Never married, profession: Insurance advocate.
"So, let's get down to work. The first thing you notice immediately are the feet. Big. Too big – a duck out of water, clown's feet, must have been uncomfortable walking through this world, on cobblestones especially. So too with all the extremities. Notice the ears and how they are reaching out to hear – almost to here! The hands. Too big for gloves. A murderer's hands, always in need of clutching each other for fear of their fallen fate."
"Now, let's turn our attention to the eyes which some say are the keyhole of the soul. Dark, deep, moist, cavernous eyes. They have the look of too little sleep, of an active nether world, an always awakening dream. Calculating eyes, always wanting something which the other is unable to give. Long straight eye brows that guard the inner sanctum in a plain yet threatening way."
"Then, there's the nose. Typical mensch, built to oxygenate the brain. Solomon's sniffing snoze. Almost artificial, glued on, inhuman, primitive, as if it were bought from the golem maker along with the clown's feet, for a show, to beckon some hidden force, then unceremoniously stuck on. A nose that knows."
"Lips. Thin, always dry. Unkissed. Not those of a lover but one who wants to be loved. An intellectual's lips. Well sealed to prevent secrets from escaping too soon, allowing ideas to be well digested."
"Speaking of the digestive system, let's now focus on the torso. Truly a perfect ectomorph. Emasculated, a human squirrel full of nervous energy, unsettledness. But of the mind, not the body. The body wastes away on the stem of the mind. Thin, wiry, almost consumptive, the torso shows the effects of a high calorie burning organism. A man of immense hunger. A hunger artist. And it is this, I believe to be the key here. The digestive system is or should I say "was", in a constant state of work, reconstituting experience. Life does not offer this man enough food to exist."
"So, in a word, the cause of death: hunger. Perhaps he never found the food he liked – a forerunner of a more modern and endemic though less fatal disease known as nausea. A sickness of those who never seem to arrive at port. Which brings us to our next cadaver, a very interesting case, a young man found on a train from Bouville in the Gare de Montmartre in Paris. DOA, dead on arrival, no apparent trauma though …."

Disclaimer: I do not own Ranger's Apprentice.
Book 7 spoilers.
It has been said that a watched pot never boils. Halt was proving that theory wrong… unless, of course, watching was considered different from glaring, in which case it should be known that a pot which Halt glares at does, in fact, boil.
Halt glared at the coffee, willing it to be done faster.
"More coffee, dear? This is your third pot today. I thought we agreed it would be healthier for you to cut back?" Lady Pauline inquired as she watched her husband. He looked less human and more of a sculpture. He stood, completely immobile, glaring at the coffee.
Halt shot an apologetic look towards his wife, then his eyes quickly darted back to the coffee. "I realize that, dear, but for some reason I am so tired today. I can't stop ya-ya-yaaaaaawning today." Halt tried to contain his yawn, but failed.
Lady Pauline gracefully hid her yawn. It was an art that she spent a whole day on with her apprentices. She found that when a single individual yawned, that yawn would travel through the rest of the crowd. Seeing as it was the responsibility of her students to be dignified, and represent people of importance wherever they went, it was important that they not yawn in the face of any dignitaries. Some cultures, specifically the Scandians, took that as an offence. "I don't know what to tell you, dear. Mayhaps you need more sleep."
Halt scoffed. "I have gotten five hours of sleep a night for the past twenty some years. It worked fine in the kings service, it should work fine in semi-retirement now." His eyes never left the coffee pot.
Lady Pauline sighed. Why did he have to be so difficult, "Then why don't you try a nice, lovely afternoon nap? I find that refreshes me for the evening."
"Nap? I don't need a nap. I'm not even all that tired. I would just like a nice cup of coffee." Halt yawned, providing evidence to the contrary.
"Halt, dear. I know you are great man, and I love you very much. With that in mind, realize I am being very honest and understand that when I say you are cranky and in need of sleep, I actually mean you are crabbier then a child kept up long after his bedtime with no nap during the day." Lady Pauline paused, enjoying the imagery in that sentence.
Halt grunted, still glaring at the coffee. Then, his face lit up in an uncharacteristic grin. He happily picked up the pot and poured the coffee into his waiting mug. "I understand what you are saying, darling, but in a few minutes, you will see that I'm just fine."
Lady Pauline opened her mouth to disagree, but paused at a knock on the door. She opened the door to find a figure similar to that of Halt. That meant it could only be one person. "Hello Will. What brings you here this fine afternoon?"
"My apologies for any interruption, Lady Pauline, but your presence is requested by Baron Arald and Lady Alyss."
"That is no problem Will. I believe Halt just finished a pot of coffee if you would…"
"I would love some coffee, Lady Pauline." Will grinned.
Lady Pauline sighed as she left the room. The way those two ingested coffee could not be healthy.
"Hello, Halt. Do you mind if I have some…"
"Yes." Halt interrupted, "but go ahead anyway. Never mind the amount of time and care it took for me to make the, make the, make theeeeeeeee…" Halt's sentence was interrupted by a large yawn.
"Not at all tired, are you Halt?" Will teased his mentor, "There is no need to YAWN." Will stressed the world, pulling it out to several syllables.
Halt yawned again, glaring at his past apprentice. "Will…"
"Wait Halt. I'm sure you are going to need to YAWN again."
Halt tried to hold in a yawn as it tried to escape his lungs. He didn't succeed, and his mouth was flung wide with the yawn. "Will…"
"It's astounding, Halt," the young man interrupted, "when you YAWN…"
Halt's mouth was thrown wide yet again. This time, however, he was ready. Under the cover of the yawn, his foot slipped up under the lip of Will's chair, and Halt pushed up, tipping his smirking, smart-mouthed apprentice over backwards. His lip twitched up at the look of surprise on Will's face as he tumbled backward; a twitch Will knew could be paired with hearty laughter in another man.
"Will. I will not tell you again. Stop using that word." Halt glared at the younger man.
Will could see the slight twinkle in one eye that indicated his mentor had not taken offence. "Which word?" He asked feigning innocence.
"You know what I'm talking about." Halt replied, adding a glare that would have had anyone else spilling the secrets that they could be killed for telling.
"I'm not completely sure what you might be referring to." Will replied, his face the picture of innocence.
"DO NOT USE THE WORD YAWN!" Halt bellowed, fed up. This was, much to Will's amusement, followed by the largest, noisiest yawn yet.
Figuring Halt had suffered enough, Will changed the topic. "So, Halt, why have you switched to decaf?"
"I haven't. What would the point of coffee be if it has no caffeine? It really doesn't taste that wonderful, nor is it cheap. It's the best drink for caffeine." Halt replied.
"Then why are you drinking decaf?" Will asked again.
"I'm not." Halt replied, certain his apprentice was pulling his leg again.
Will held out the bag that Halt had gotten his coffee grounds from.
Halt took it from his and read the words on the side. Decaf.
"Why would I buy decaf coffee? No one buys decaf coffee. It's a waste of money and good for nothing. Why did I waste money on it? Who buys it?" Halt ranted. His rant was cut short from a voice in the hallway.
"I bought decaf coffee." Lady Pauline stated.
A/N: I apologize if you yawned through the whole thing. I did when I wrote it. Please Reveiw! =)

What is the effect of the author's craft in Oedipus Rex?
- print Print
- list Cite
One of the most profound effects of Sophocles' craftsmanship is to create a character in Oedipus that arouses a sense of pity out of the audience. Oedipus is depicted in a multi-dimensional way. Due to the way in which Sophocles constructs him, one can view Oedipus in many different ways, with each way reverting back to the pathetic condition in which he lives. The sense of empathy for Oedipus in being "only human" is something that Sophocles is able to develop. His use of the Chorus is one such example of this, as they voice opinions of traditional Greek society, and enable the reader to recognize Oedipus' actions in this light, in his own light, and in the light of the reader. At the same time, Sophocles is able to craft out a sense of catharsis or sense of evolution in both character and audience member simply by watching what Oedipus endures. It is through Sophocles style and craftsmanship that this becomes evident and possible by the end of the drama. In this light, one sees that the effect of the author's craft is to construct a rendering in which one immediately recognizes its true power and beauty.

Photography/Photo Editing/Outfits - Courtesy of BCBGMaxazria
Hello Everyone! If you follow me on Instagram, you may know I am currently working at BCBG. At the office, the employees receive daily corporate emails. One of the corporate emails I came across was an opportunity to sign up to do a styling segment called "Week of Chic". From their brief explanation, Week of Chic gives an inside look through a week's worth of looks from their very own BCBGMaxazria employees. The selected Week of Chic participant will take you through her schedule and show you how she incorporates the latest trends of the season into her wardrobe. The 5 looks consisted of 1 work outfit, 1 wild card outfit, 1 evening wear outfit, 1 night out outfit, and 1 weekend outfit. The looks will be then posted in their stores for inspiration. This sounded like an exciting opportunity that I could not pass up so I decided to sign up for it. After all, it is not everyday people get to wear head to toe outfits from one of their favorite brands chosen by themselves and have a fun photoshoot at work. I felt like a kid in a candy store when I saw the photoshoot studio, three racks of BCBG clothing and accessories laid out nicely for the employees to pick and ensemble their outfits. What made it an enjoyable experience was that I was allowed to stay true to my style by personally pairing my own outfits and when I needed input or assistance there were stylists to help. I remember admiring the BCBG brand at a very young age because of the beautiful dresses and now working for them and being able to do the "Week of Chic" photoshoot is a surreal feeling and I feel incredibly grateful.
My personal favorite ensemble is the last one - Casual Cool. I felt that it looked most different and natural. What is your favorite look? Let me know your thoughts below! :)
Special thanks to BCBG for this fun and exciting experience!
Take care and talk to you soon!
