Kristof from Flood Hardcore asked me to check his first release out, which is the new EP of Contintents. What do you need to know about Continents.? They are a five-piece band from Dresden, Germany and play an excellent blend of intense screamo, melodic hardcore and spoken word. If you have 20 minutes of free time, listen to this six songs, great emotional stuff! '...And Silence Anchored Our Feet In Granite' was released on 10" vinyl by Pike Records, Flood Records and Heads Down Records.

MMO gamers love it when they get surprise emails from a game they used to play giving them a bunch of goodies to get them to come back and play. What gamers don't like is when they actively play a game and players that have left the game receive gifts that could contain items they've shelled out sometimes hundreds of dollars to try and obtain.
And thus, "Dolphingate" was born.
In an effort to gain some players back to the ArcheAge fold, Trion Worlds sent out emails that awarded lapsed players with "Return to ArcheAge" gifts. For the most part, the gifts were the usual items you'd expect in this type of offer, a few potions, scrolls, etc. However, some of the gift packages contained the newly released $100 Secrets Pack and the Cynafin Dolphin, an in game mount that players have been spending cold hard cash on random boxes to try and obtain.
Needless to say, the forums are already alight with existing players that are not happy about this gift horse (mount joke, a bad one I know) and the flood of "I'm cancelling my patron status" posts have been pouring in.
Trion Worlds, via Khrolan, has issued a statement about the offer and their rationale for what the offer included.
In part:
The important part is to make sure the giveaway is compelling enough to give recipients a reason to come back without it being perceived as too generous to the point that it offends existing, active players. Plain and simple, we missed the mark and overestimated. Instead of moving through the right approval paths the folks involved in this promotion drew assumptions about what would and wouldn't be acceptable to include. Some of our reasoning for including items like the dolphin or glider skins are that they're largely cosmetic with limited actual game functionality. The bottom line is we ran forward at full speed with the best intentions and the packages were just plain too generous. We've corrected this process internally and have measures in place now to identify and review appropriate rewards.
Would you be upset by this type of offer?

Archeage is a terrible game by all accounts. I'm still laughing and giggling inside at all the people that spent money on early access and beta accounts. I'm so glad I avoided this game like the plague after playing less than 2 hours in beta and realized game was a big steaming pile of crap.
Needless to say, this Dolphin gate thing doesn't surprise me. Archeage is such a poorly run and managed game..oh wait, its being run by Trion over here in N.A…nuff said.
Trash game !
That's their own bloody fault for supporting Trion in their fraudulent behavior. The total farce that is ArchAge should have died long ago.
No matter how much you love something, if it is bad for you you leave it alone. Be mature enough to walk away. Maybe those fools spending $100's on random loot crates will finally learn this time.
i saw dis shit scam game a mile away & its Trion's fault coz koreans servers are doing just fine
Im so happy i only played this for half hour.
I've just quite the game a week ago , leaving all my 2xgazbo farms , tachent farmhouse and 4 aquafarm behind .. been playing since OBT .. until i was pissed when the costume i was waiting for so long came up .. spent more then 150$ .. to get NOTHING frm those RNG box. The game is a great game. Not much western mmorpg had ever made such a game like this before since frm Ultima. The one that destroy the game is Trion. Which turns this game into a MILKING MACHINE. You can ask alot of people in korean server. Where they give dophine gifts to everyone for free.
Game still sucks, but I dont know what there yelling about. I quit this game I dont remember how long ago, never got nothing like this. Got a email yesterday saying come back were giving you…

Not one good thing in the 4 pirates chest. Only logged back on to see what I got. Wont go back to this crappy game.
Not the first time they did it with rumbling archeum trees earlier, destroyed the market. Thunderstucks trees lost 2/3 of there value in ah. They never learn. Glad I left in Feb.
You know what it seems like, developers such as this doesn't truly understand their clients when stuff like this happens. One could understand if they played this game more often and see how the other players react or they can bring out the product and make plans based on assumptions.
Nth wrong with the game developers bro .. their own korean server doing great.. Trion is the problem here.
ooh Trion you so silly, don't put salt on a very wide wound, they didin't listen to ppl and now they're panicking and doing whatever it takes to gather players back and they surelly won't do so.
We all know what's comming for archeage.
Rift is pretty good tho, still playing it.
What's that? Archage managed to piss off more of their players? What a surprise that is…
Pure garbage with subscription like system, neverending bugs, bots, cheaters, repetetive dailies and quests, ugly dungeons , plain walls in every, its not mmorpg its a game for peasants, grow carrots over and over and over and pay for that, its for those who want 2nd job.

Push to Scale Back Minimum Sentences Gains Momentum:
Even in a Congress riven by partisanship, the priorities of libertarian-leaning Republicans and left-leaning Democrats have come together, led by the example of several states that have adopted similar policies to reduce their prison costs.
As senators work to meld several proposals into one bill, one important change would be to expand the so-called safety-valve provisions that give judges discretion to sentence low-level drug offenders to less time in prison than the required mandatory minimum term if they meet certain requirements.Proponents of changes to sentencing laws are now staring at what they say is the first real open window in decades to make meaningful change, and they are fearful that lawmakers may tinker around the edges of a prison overhaul — allowing people to leave jail early for good behavior and increasing services for juveniles — while leaving the thorny sentencing issue to fester.
Good idea to address it head on too. Especially after John Oliver did a blistering segment last week on the absurdity of mandatory minimum sentencing.
Favorite takeaway line: "Prison sentences are a lot like penises. If they're used correctly, even a short one can do the trick."
LOL. The article also addresses the issue of recidivism.
Another would allow lower-risk prisoners to participate in recidivism programs to earn up to a 25 percent reduction of their sentence. Lawmakers would also like to create more alternatives for low-level drug offenders. Nearly half of all current federal prisoners are serving sentences for drug crimes.
I was stunned to read in the WSJ yesterday that the Obama administration is restoring the availability of Pell Grants to prisoners.
The Obama administration plans to restore federal funding for prison inmates to take college courses, a potentially controversial move that comes amid a broader push to overhaul the criminal justice system.Funny, the article doesn't mention that the Senator who led the charge on banning Pell grants for inmates was the Vice President himself, Joe Biden. Read the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (aka "The Biden Bill") again.
The plan, set to be unveiled Friday by the secretary of education and the attorney general, would allow potentially thousands of inmates in the U.S. to gain access to Pell grants, the main form of federal aid for low-income college students. The grants cover up to $5,775 a year in tuition, fees, books and other education-related expenses.
Prisoners received $34 million in Pell grants in 1993, according to figures the Department of Education provided to Congress at the time. But a year later, Congress prohibited state and federal prison inmates from getting Pell grants as part of broad anticrime legislation, leading to a sharp drop in the number of in-prison college programs. Supporters of the ban contended federal aid should only go to law-abiding citizens.
The reason this is so important is that a college degree in prison is the only known recidivism program to work at a rate of 95% or greater. Meaning, less than 5% of inmates who get a degree in prison will recidivate and end up back in prison...the other 95% will never come back.
But during the myopia and hysteria of the mid-90's, Pell grants and higher education were whacked, even by so-called liberals like Biden and Clinton.
I get the middle class push back. "I can't afford to send my own kid to college, why should we pay for a bunch of rapists or molesters to get bachelors or masters degrees?" Fair enough. But that's more of an issue for free higher education for everyone, and not so much about denying prisoners the opportunity.
And lost in all the chatter about who's paying for what, is the simple fact that you are going to pay for it one way or the other anyway. The question is: do you want to pay for it in terms of a college education, practically guaranteeing that they'll never come back to prison? Or do you want to pay for more prison cells, three hots and a cot, free healthcare, and a revolving turnstile of imprisonment, release, imprisonment, ad nauseum? Your choice.
Meanwhile, another recidivism program that works...puppies!
Mr. Perry says he is tremendously proud of the Auburn partnership, crediting it with improving inmates' morale and behavior. "The incident rate in that unit is almost nonexistent," he said. "That dog program just kind of calms everyone."Not every inmate is eligible. To apply, inmates must have a high school diploma or its equivalent and be free of disciplinary reports for a year — a considerable challenge, Mr. Perry said."These aren't heinous individuals," he said. "They're men who've made mistakes, serious ones, and they deserve to be forgiven. And the sooner they can forgive themselves, the sooner we can."Working with the dogs, he said, speeds that process. "A lot of these guys have never been given a lot of responsibility, and this is their chance not only to be a responsible adult but a responsible citizen," he said.
It's a win win...the dogs are being trained for search and rescue, IEDs and drugs, guide responsibilities, etc., the inmates are being changed by the responsibility.
My goodness. Puppies, Pell grants, and bipartisan push back to the mandatory minimum madness of the 1990's. Are we really turning a corner here in crime and punishment in 2015? Is the correctional-industrial complex an endangered species?
UPDATE: This Chronicle of Higher Ed piece predicts pushback against the Pell grant pilot program (can I get any more alliterative?):
UPDATE: This Chronicle of Higher Ed piece predicts pushback against the Pell grant pilot program (can I get any more alliterative?):
Rep. Christopher C. Collins, a New York Republican whose district includes the Attica prison, has already introduced legislation that would bar the department from doing so. Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican from Tennessee who is chairman of the Senate education committee, has said the administration does not have the authority to run the pilot program.Stay tuned.
Cornell's Mr. Scott wondered whether the topic could become an issue in the 2016 presidential race. "Americans are really divided on this," he said. But, he said, the program could also spark action from states that could introduce their own tuition-assistance programs before the broader federal debate winds down.

M&S reports smaller sales dip
Marks and Spencer has reported a smaller than expected drop in sales in its first quarter figures, compared to last year.
UK sales fell by 1.4% overall, with general merchandise, which includes clothing and homewares, falling by the most at 2.4% and food dropping off by 0.5%.
The 125 year old high street chain says because Easter fell in a warm and sunny April, sales were boosted by 0.7% this year in both food and other merchandise.
Chief executive and executive chairman Sir Stuart Rose says consumer confidence "appears to be stabilising" but the retailer "remains cautious about the outlook for the remainder of this and next year."
M&S has struggled to cope as shoppers have cut spending in reaction to the recession, but, like rival supermarket chains it has introduced cheaper ranges and promotions such as Dine in for £10 over Christmas and Valentines to drive sales.
However it has vowed to slash its marketing spend this year after reporting in May its profits crashed 37.5% in the year to March
The initiatives mean it is in a much stronger position than 12 months ago when it was forced to issue a profit warning. It is unclear however whether the improved figures are enough to help Stuart Rose evade a second shareholder rebellion over his controversial dual role at the company's annual general meeting next week.

"He had every gift but length of years" is from Ted Kennedy's eulogy for his nephew, John Kennedy. I've always thought the same about my dad, who died thirty years ago today, April 16, 1985.
Not as young and tragically as John Kennedy, or his father JFK, but much too young, just as his children were young adults, long before there were grandchildren to know, or the chance to retire with my mom, or any of those things.
This April has quite a few milestone anniversaries, two of which are an epic overlap: Lincoln shot on April 14, dies on April 15; and the Titanic is hit by an iceberg April 14 and sinks April 15 103 years ago. Then dad on April 16. Which happened to be the Tuesday right after Easter, 1985, and the idea of a little miracle of him getting better was floating around my head.
This photo was taken in Eisenhower Park on Long Island, where we had an annual picnic with family and friends. My mother sang the song "Bicycle Built for Two" to me from my birth; so it was exciting to actually ride on one; and that meant I could be smug about the whole 2001: A Space Odyssey reference of "Daisy, Daisy" when I got to it in college --because I knew the song and had ridden one for years as a kid; and now the next generation is getting their own "Daisy Bell" with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Cal/Skye, which made me think of this photo in the first place. Another instance of why I love pop culture.

Shoreline Armoring
This refers to the construction of seawalls, jetties, offshore breakwaters and groins intended to hold shorelines in place. Although it is well understood by scientists that armoring beaches destroys beaches on a decadal time scale, this fact is still widely unrecognized by the general public or ignored by coastal developers and engineers. The demand for armoring will become even more widespread as the rate of sea-level rise and shoreline retreat increases. A few political entities (North Carolina, USA, North Sea Coast of Holland) have outlawed armoring (with moderate success) and more should be urged to do so. There are large numbers of salesmen with "unique" types of seawalls and groins (Holmberg Device) that need to be refuted.
Definitions of Shoreline Armoring Terms
- Accretion
- The addition of sand to a beach allowing it to widen and build out seaward.
- Groin
- Groin is a structure built perpendicular to the shoreline usually of rock or metal designed to trap sand that moves in the long shore current
- Hardened beach structures
- A general term referring to groins, jetties, offshore breakwaters, sea walls, tombolos, or any other engineered
- Jetty
- A jetty is a hardened structure built at an inlet usually made of rock or metal designed to keep navigation channels from filling in with sediment
- Longshore drift
- Long shore drift carries sand and sediment parallel to the shore and serves as the sand source for many beaches. On the east coast of the US, the long shore current is from the north to the south.
- Offshore breakwaters
- An engineered structure placed offshore and parallel to the beach. Breakwaters mimic sandbars to cause waves to break, lessening erosion on the beach behind the breakwater, but interrupting the longshore drift.
- Shoreline armoring
- The use of groins, jetties, offshore breakwaters, sea walls, tombolos or other hardened beach structures on the shore
- Sea wall
- A sea wall is designed to protect the land from erosion particularly during storms and usually made of metal, wood, or rock. One of the most famous seawalls is the Galveston seawall in Galveston, TX built after the 1900 hurricane killed 6,000 people on the island.
- Tombolos
- Tombolos are a special type of groin built perpendicular to the shore to trap sand, but with an end parallel to the shore designed to reduce wave energy.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – "Like the running of the bulls," one John Edwards staff member muttered after a throng of volunteers, photographers and reporters shoved and squeezed into the downtown campaign office Tuesday afternoon to watch Mr. Edwards thank supporters on the day of the primary.
"We've very, very proud to have you with us!" Mr. Edwards said once he managed to reach the room and address his supporters. "Keep calling, keep working, get everyone to the primary."
Mr. Edwards appeared cheerful and relaxed, shaking hands with supporters and posing for pictures before climbing back on his blue "Main Street Express" bus and heading back to his hotel for a few hours of downtime before his election-night party in downtown Manchester.
His advisers have said that even if he makes a third-place showing in the primary tonight, Mr. Edwards is determined to press on and compete in the Nevada caucuses and the South Carolina primary. He came in second over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, despite being heavily outspent there.
On Thursday morning, Mr. Edwards, who was born in South Carolina, will head there for a "welcome home rally" at Clemson University at noon.

Silly me thought we had agreed on making a kangaroo costume and after picking out fabric and patterns together I got to work behind the sewing machine.
I dropped her off at kinder in casual dress - a series of tables were lined up together to make a costume "cat walk" along the length of the kinder room - but she would not put the costume on... I thought perhaps she might put it on later in the day, once she go into the swing of things.
On picking her up I asked the kinder assistant TWICE, just to make sure I didn't hear what she said incorrectly - which was No Hj did not wear her costume today. Well Mummy's heart sank.
On the way home I recalled an Easter Bonnet parade at school, and a squashed Easter bonnet in my school bag that mum decorated for me with sewn pop corn all over it - Hj and I had a little giggle all the way home!

Most ladies with smaller breast size feel very uncomfortable while getting in public and therefore they get desperate to have bigger boobs. This is the situation when their desperation makes them create blunders that may cost them adversely. They wisely try all possible options to boost their breast size but fail at last mostly because of the mistakes carried by them. Here I have listed 7 common mistakes that are made while increasing breast size fast.
Often cleaning breast with soap
Almost all soaps include chemicals in their ingredients and these chemicals when coming in contact with your skin eliminates Keratinocytes through chemical reaction and also induces division of cells. Therefore when you often clean your breasts with soap, it will boost the chemical reaction in your breast cells making them dry resulting in loose breasts. Use of soap also eliminates the lubricant in your breast cells. It is better to wash the breasts with warm water without using the soap.
Squeezing breasts strongly
Many women create a misconception that breast massaging means squeezing the breast strongly and this will make their breast bigger. But this is a pointless concept. Squeezing breast strongly will result abusively to your breast. This process will initially hurt your soft breast tissues causing an internal hyperplasia. Also, it will change your breast size resulting in bosom prolapsed. Breast engorgement is another breast squeezing like process that occurs in mammary gland due to breastfeeding.
Not wearing bras
Another misconception among females is to not wear a bra until they get into formed breast size. For your information, it is a wrong perception. Not wearing a bra for a long time will easily damage you externally and results in bosom prolapsed breasts. Therefore it is important to wear a correct bra to maintain the unaffected growth of breasts.
Cleaning breasts with hot or cold water
It is an extension of my first topic, cleaning breast with soap. In that topic, I stated that avoid using soap and use only hot water for cleaning breasts. But it is important to brief you because most women misunderstood this and use too hot or too cold water for cleaning. It is wrong as it will irritate the capillaries around your breasts and it may also result in flubbing of breasts.
Exercise increases breast size
One more misconception about increasing breast size is that exercises help to increase in breast size. Actually exercising can never increase your cups rather exercise just stimulates the development of chest muscles and extruding breast. This makes your breast look bigger and fuller but actually, the size remains same.
Using hormone medicines
When girls are going through puberty and enter the start of menstruation cycle, their ovary excretes all the waste particles from their body in the form of blood. But while performing this process, it also excretes estrogen that is important for females. Due to this the estrogen level in females decreases and they start planning to have pills that boost hormones. Although these hormone pills can boost the growth of breast but there are also many potential hazards. With excess estrogen level in females, there are huge chances of developing breast cancer.
Using breast enlargement creams for a long time
Breast enlargement creams are one of the best products for enhancing breast size. It works because these creams contain a hormonal substance in their ingredients that when applied to the breast, get absorbed by tissues leading to increase in size. But continuous use of these creams for a longer period of time can lead to some hazardous conditions such as hyperpigmentation in breasts, irregular menstruation, dry and thin breast skin and liver disorder.

Properties of DN
The properties given for DN help put each partial sum SN in a form that will make it easier to work with. First of all, in the form of SN above, we change variables to u = t-x and use the fact that DN is even to get $S_N(x) = \int_{-\pi-x}^{\pi-x} f(u+x)D_N(u)du$. We will need the lemma below to go any further.
Lemma. Let $g$ be a $2\pi$ periodic function (a.e.) that is integrable on each bounded interval in $\mathbb R$. Then, $\int_{-\pi+c}^{\pi+c} g(u)du$ is independent of $c$. In particular, $\int_{-\pi+c}^{\pi+c} g(u)du=\int_{-\pi}^\pi g(u)du$.
Proof: Exercise.
Fix $x$. Both $D_N(u)$ and $f(x+u)$ are $2\pi$-periodic in $u$, and so by the Lemma with $c=-x$, \[ S_N(x) = \int_{-\pi-x}^{\pi-x}f(u+x)D_N(u)du= \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(u+x)D_N(u)du. \] We can change variables in the integral going from $u$ to $-u$. The result is that \[ S_N(x) = -\int_{\pi}^{-\pi} f(x-u)D_N(-u)du = \int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x-u)D_N(u)du. \] (Recall that $D_N$ is even.) Add these two expressions together and divide by 2. The integrand in the result, $(f(x+u)+f(x-u))D_N(u)/2$, is even. Using the fact that an integral of an even function over a symmetric interval is twice the integral of the function over half the interval, we get, after canceling factors of 2, that \[ (\dagger) \quad S_N(x) = \int_0^\pi (f(x+u)+f(x-u))D_N(u)du. \] The next ingredient in our proof is the Riemann-Lebesgue Lemma, which we now state:
Riemann-Lebesgue Lemma. If $f$ is in $L^1[a,b]$, then $ \lim_{\lambda\to \pm\infty} \int_a^bf(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx = \lim_{\lambda\to \pm\infty} \int_a^bf(x)\sin(\lambda x)dx = \lim_{\lambda\to \pm \infty} \int_a^bf(x)e^{i\lambda x}dx= 0$.
Proof: We will prove the cosine version. Let $f$ be a continuous, piecewise smooth function on $[a,b]$. Then, after integrating by parts, we have \[ \int_a^b f(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx = \frac{1}{\lambda}(f(b)\sin(\lambda b) -f(a)\sin(\lambda a)) - \frac{1}{\lambda}\int_a^b f'(x)\sin(\lambda x)dx. \] From this, it easily follows that \[ (\ddagger)\quad \bigg|\int_a^b f(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx\bigg| \le \frac{1}{|\lambda|}\bigg(|f(b)|+|f(a)|+\int_a^b |f'(x)|dx\bigg). \] Letting $\lambda\to \pm\infty$ above then yields $\lim_{\lambda \to \infty}\int_a^b f(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx=0$. Since linear splines are continuous piecewise smooth functions, the result holds for them. Now, let $f$ be in $L^1[a,b]$. We are given that $C[a,b]$ is dense in $L^1[a,b]$. Thus, given $\epsilon>0$, we can find $g\in C[a,b]$ such that $\|f-g\|_{L^1[a,b]} < \epsilon/3$. In addition, if $s$ is the linear spline interpolant to $g$, with knots equally spaced a distance $\delta_n=\frac{b-a}{n}$ apart, then $\|g-s\|_{C[a,b]}\le \omega(g;\delta_n)$ and, consequently, $\|g-s\|_{L^1[a,b]} \le (b-a)\omega(g;\delta_n)$. We may then choose $n$ so large that $\|g-s\|_{L^1[a,b]}<\epsilon/3$. By our estimate $(\ddagger)$ to $s$, we also have $\big|\int_a^b s(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx\big| \le \frac{C_s}{|\lambda|}$. If we choose $|\lambda| > 3C_s/\epsilon$, then $\big|\int_a^b s(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx\big| < \epsilon/3$. Finally, we can write $f=(f-g)+(g-s) +s$, from which it follows that \[ \bigg|\int_a^b f(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx\bigg| < \|f-g\|_{L^1[a,b]}+ \|g-s\|_{L^1[a,b]}+\bigg|\int_a^b s(x)\cos(\lambda x)dx\bigg| < \epsilon/3+ \epsilon/3+\epsilon/3 = \epsilon, \] which proves the lemma. $\square$
Pointwise Convergence Theorem. If f is a 2π-periodic piecewise continuous function that has a right-hand derivative $f'(x+)$ and a left hand derivative $f'(x-)$ at $x$, then \[ \lim_{N\to \infty}S_N(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} f(x) & \text{if }f \ \text{is continuous at }x.\\ \tfrac12 (f(x+)+f(x-)) & \text{if }f\ \text{has a jump discontinuity at } x. \end{array} \right. \] Proof: The trick here is to put the the error SN(x) - f(x) or SN(x) - (f(x+)+f(x-))/2 in the right form. Since in the continuous case one just has f(x+)=f(x-)=f(x), we can do both cases using $E_N(x) = S_N(x) - \frac12 (f(x+)+f(x-))$. From the third property of DN listed above and the final form of $S_N$ given in $(\dagger$), we obtain $E_N(x) = \int_0^\pi (f(x+u) + f(x-u) - f(x+) - f(x-))D_N(u)du$. Use property 4 of $D_N(u)$ to put the error in the form \[ \begin{aligned} E_N(x) =& \int_0^\pi \bigg(\frac{f(x+u) + f(x-u) - f(x+) - f(x-)}{2\pi \sin(u/2)}\bigg) \sin((N+\tfrac12)u)du \\ =& \int_0^\pi F(u) \sin((N+\tfrac12)u)du, \end{aligned} \] where $F(u) := (f(x+u) + f(x-u) - f(x+) - f(x-))/(2\pi \sin(u/2))$. Since x is fixed, we can ignore the dependence of the expression above on $x$. L'Hospital's rule and the fact that $f$ has right and left derivatives at x imply that $ \lim_{u \downarrow 0} F(u) = (f'(x+) - f'(x-))/\pi$, so $F$ has a right hand limit at u = 0. This and the piecewise continuity of $f$ and $1/\sin(u/2)$ on the half-open interval $(0,\pi]$ mean that $F(u)$ is piecewise continuous on $[0,\pi]$. From the Riemann Lebesgue Lemma we have that $\lim_{N\to \infty}E_N(x) = 0.$ $\ \square$
An example. In class we showed that if $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} 1 & 0 \le x \le \pi, \\ -1 & -\pi <\le x< 0 \end{array} \right.$, then, in the Fourier series for $f$, all of the $a_n$'s are $0$ and also, when $n$ is even, the $b_n$'s are $0$. For odd $n$, $b_n=\frac{4}{n \pi}$. Thus the Fourier series for $f$ satisfies \[ \sum_{n\ \text{odd}} \frac{4}{n \pi}\sin(nx) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{4}{(2k-1) \pi}\sin\big((2k-1)x\big) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} f(x) = 1, & \text{for } \ 0< x < \pi \\ \frac12 \big(f(0+)+ f(0-)\big) = 0,& \text{for } x=0 \\ f(x) = -1, & \text{for } -\pi < x< 0. \end{array} \right. \] As an illustration of what this means, let's set $x = \pi/2 $. For this value of $ x $, we have $1 = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{4}{(2k-1) \pi}\sin\big((2k-1)\pi/2\big)$. Since $\sin\big(\frac{(2k-1)\pi}{2}\big)= (-1)^{k+1}$, we have, after multiplying both sides by $\pi/4$, \[ \frac{\pi}{4} = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{4(-1)^{k+1}}{2k-1} = 1 - \frac13 + \frac17 - \frac19 + \cdots, \] which is a famous series that was used to compute $\pi$. Since the series has terms that alternate and decrease in absolute value, the error made truncating the series after $K$ terms is $\frac{1}{2K+1}$. Thus to compute $\pi/4$ to within $0.01$, we would need to take $K\ge 50$.

Alas alack etc. Adjectivemarcus has been sending me frantic emails insisting I come anyway, which is very nice of him 'cos it makes me feel wanted, but I think it might be rather nice to spend several days on my tod, doing a few bits of maths and enjoying the sky. Plus I won't have all the transport problems that other people are having. It's a weird thing, but I seem to be setting a pattern of going to one bicon and then skipping one. That is, if you swap my first 2 round. I skipped Kingston (I could have gone, but was having an ear operation), attended Woolwich, attended Cambridge, skipped Edinburgh, attended Manchester and now I'm skipping Coventry. Alas. No sex for me this weekend. Mr. E and Ergotia will be in Coventry, and Mr. Unpronounceable is going to the coast with his family to do some gardening and field questions about why his garden looks untidy (he's cultivating wild indigenous plants).
I feel a bit bereft, but I've just had 2 1/2 pints, so I'm not caring too much right now.
Actually, I've got a plan about something completely different that you might like to hear about. I'd appreciate comments, as long as they are the kind of comments that say "yes! good plan!" - so not really honest dissent, I suppose.
I'm 27 now. I was thinking about my 30th birthday party. I thought it might be rather nice to have sex with 30 people on the day/night of my 30th birthday. Just to prove I'm not losing it, you understand ;O).
So, good plan? I think so.
Anyway, I'll write later.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The British pound took a fresh dive on Monday, sliding to levels not seen in 10 months, after a weekend poll showed voters favoring Scottish independence pushing ahead of those against.
The pound GBPUSD, +0.0842% was down 1.3% in recent trading to $1.6110, a level not seen since November 2013. In late North American trade on Friday, the pound traded at $1.6328.
The drop for sterling, accompanied by a slip by the FTSE 100 UKX, -0.56% came after a survey by pollster YouGov released over the weekend showed 47% of the potential voters were in favor of an independent Scotland, while 45% said no. That's the first time ahead of the Sept. 18 referendum that the "yes" to independence camp has been in the lead.
Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro, said the next level of support for the pound is at $1.60, then $1.5850. He also said most people think the margins of errors are "too uncomfortable" to place a solid bet either way right now.
Kit Juckes, Société Générale's global macro strategist, said in a note that a "yes" vote poses more questions than it answers, and it could be negative for sterling, perhaps to the order of 5% overall.
"It would increase moves for secession across Europe, increase the momentum for the UK to leave the EU and hurt Scottish economic growth potential," Juckes wrote.

Among other exchange rates, the dollar USDJPY, +0.28% rose to ¥106.01 compared with ¥105.09 late Friday in New York. The euro EURUSD, +0.0705% was down to $1.2901 from $1.2949 late Friday in New York.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.05% which tracks the greenback against a basket of major currencies, advanced to 84.278, up from 83.753 on Friday. A "1997-like secular breakout" might develop for DXY, said Ari Wald, a technical analyst at Oppenheimer Asset Management, in a note.

Get Connected at Sector67 this Summer
Program Summary
Get Connected at Sector67 this Summer
Sector67 and Project:Connect are proud to present three free summer workshops for youth ages 8-14.
Workshop 1: Mine and Craft
Minecraft is an engaging computer-based block construction game. Whether you already love to play Minecraft or want to learn, you'll find a place in this workshop. Participants will learn how to safely and responsibly interact and collaborate within online and local Minecraft communities. More experienced Minecrafters will have the opportunity to be peer mentors as all participants learn through play, wiki-based self-directed investigation and collaborative goals.
Workshop 2: Hold your Concept in your Hand
Imagine if you could think of a toy and be holding it in your hand in hours. It's possible today with 3D printing technology; but you first need to create a digital blueprint! Participants in this session will learn the basics of kid-focused 3D design, collaborate on the creation of a part, see a part being 3D printed, learn how to search for existing designs and how to responsibly share their designs on sites like Thingiverse.
Workshop 3: Scratch your Idea Itch
Do you have an idea for an interactive story, game, or animation? With Scratch, a web-based programming environment designed especially for kids, you can bring your idea to life and share it online. Participants will get an introduction and hands-on experience with Scratch, learn how to investigate how other kids have created their ideas, collaborate on a Scratch project and share it online.
Watch our website for the schedule of events and registration information. Each session will be held multiple times and limited to 20 participants. Pre-registration is required to ensure all participants a hands-on experience. All events will be held at Sector67:
(608) 241-4605
2100 Winnebago Street
Madison, WI 53704
Each session will be four hours, with each workshop being presented five times over the course of the summer. Participants in all sessions will typically be mixed level, with more experienced participants taking on a peer mentor role. Individual workshop agendas are below:
Workshop 1: Mine and Craft
Minecraft by design invites an initial exploratory learning process. We use our isolated server system for participants to experience this initial exploration and begin to interact with each other. This naturally leads into a discussion of individual and community online behavior such as griefing and appropriate etiquette.
Once basic community rules are agreed upon and all participants have achieved some fluency with gameplay, collaborative missions are given. For instance, a "habitat for virtual humanity" scenario is given where participants must work together to repair and fortify a damaged Minecraft village.
After completion of collaborative missions, participants are presented with the concept of self-directed wiki-based learning to further their understanding of the game and have free build time. We wrap up with a discussion of safe and responsible behavior when online in a larger community.
Workshop 2: Hold your Concept in your Hand
Hobbyist-level 3D printing is revolutionizing idea development. Participants will be exposed to the concept of a 3D design for various parts and then shown examples of many printed parts and products. They will then be introduced to Sketchup (http://www.sketchup.com/) [and/or Autodesk Inventor pending license availability] as an introductory 3D design tool and provided collaborative design goals.
We'll start with the basics of 3D modelling – drawing on paper! Once we've worked through the basics of working in 3D and all of the building tools available in the software, we'll set down the path of reproducing the shape of a classic toy building block. After fluency is achieved in the software, participants in this session will work on a design of their choosing or some of the suggested topics (you, your name, favorite landmark, toy, etc).
Finally, we introduce a post-workshop competition designed to foster ongoing engagement.
Workshop 3: Scratch your Idea Itch
MIT's Scratch 2.0 (http://scratch.mit.edu/) provides a kid-focused sharing-centric web-based programming environment with an extremely low barrier to entry.
We start by giving participants an introductory Logo-like programming goal that allows them to use their own brains and bodies as a metaphor. We then focus participants on achieving a collaborative programming goal and sharing it on the "big screen". We present more advanced community creations, and participants are exposed to methods of investigating and adapting the "source code" of examples they find compelling. They are then given free build time and encouraged to use those ideas in creations of their own.
After participants again share their work, we give them instructions that allow them to access their source code and share their creations online with friends and family after the workshop and introduce a post-workshop programming competition designed to foster ongoing engagement.comments powered by Disqus

I love the lalaloopsy fairy set, thye are so inventive with these styles, and the details are wonderful, little treehouse ;)ReplyDelete
I am always nervous for my daughter on her game days and perfromances but when you arrive your just going to be proud mama smiling and tearing up at the show, its part of the process !
Thanks for the encouragements Jane! I know I'll be sniffing and making my son embarrassed LOLDelete
So cute! I love their treehouse. I miss Harney & Sons. I would splurge once in a while at my old job and buy a tin or two. It always smelled so good.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's my first time buying from them! I had chamomile tea before but nowhere as good as this. I relied on the Amazon's ratings and just bought it to try. I think I'll eventually try the Paris blend once this one is done! :)Delete
Wow what a lovely treehouse. A great purchase and thanks for sharing the photos.ReplyDelete
Hugs, DroraReplies
Thank you for stopping by Drora! :)Delete
Fantastic treehouse find, Jane Cherie! The fairies and their pets look perfect in it!!! You find great things at garage sales--I love finding bargains like that too. Thanks for showing us the whole set-up--your set design and photos are wonderful! xo JenniferReplyDeleteReplies
I wasn't at all looking for a treehouse but when I saw it, I had an immediate liking to it. Usually, Fisher-Price Little People houses are too bulky but this one is somewhat right for the mini lalas.Delete
Hello from Spain: Fabulous treehouse. Great purchase. Lovely accessories. I agree with you that the tea bags smell great. Tasty flavor. Keep in touchReplyDeleteReplies
The tea bags smell so good I was really surprised!Delete
Oh wow! You had really good luck with this house :). I wish here would be more garage sales :D. The house is perfect for the Lalaloopsys, they're really pretty. Good luck for your sons performance! :) I'm sure it will be a wonderful show! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks darling! There are many garage sales in my city (it's such a big city!) so there are plenty of used toys for very cheap!Delete
The tree-house is very cute! My daughter saw it too and her eyes started to glow and she said: Mum I want that beautiful house! =)ReplyDelete
She sat down with me to look at all the pictures in this post and she loved it =) And I can only agree =)
That tea looks interesting, almost to fancy to drink =) Hope you got a good night sleep, I know I could need one too..
Aaaaw! It;s an old Fisher Price Little People treehouse that is no longer in production! I only got it used but I think you may be able to find very nice treehouse for your daughter with another brand like Woodzeez. Sylvanian Families also sell treehouses but they are so pricey.Delete
What a lovely tree house! It's lucky of you to get it from garage sale. The mini Lalaloopsy seems enjoy the new home. I like the little figures and their beautiful dresses. The mini dolls are really well-designed. And I have to say it again, using a green tower as grass is a great idea! It looks so nice.ReplyDelete
The tea looks great! So does the tin. Thanks for the recommendation. I will go to the link and buy one because I have sleeping problems recently. I hope we both sleep tight. :)Replies
I hope the tea will work for you! It did good for me! Very relaxing!Delete
- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2014 at 3:30 PM
Mon Dieu que c'est beau et que ça me fait rêver tout ce petit monde enchanteur ! J'adore les Lalaloopsy mais là c'est magique... j'ai envie de ce service à thé si joli ! ;)ReplyDelete
Ta boite est très belle aussi et je pense que le thé doit être délicieux ! ;)

Hi my name is Drew I am a self taught artist meaning I have no formal traning I have learnerd everythng I know about Illustrator threw the internet and reading books also by playing around with the program in my free time. I have a small clothng brand that i started with a few of my friends i used the the logo as the cover for this project also if you are feeling up to it check it out WWW.ARTBEFORECRIME.COM please and thank you.I hope to take these techniques and apply them to my brand to help with the over all develpoment of the Clothing.
Section 1
I have created a Wine Glass with some red wine sworling in the glass to give the image some motion because what is wine if it isnt sworling? I created this image beacause Mickaela kept mentioning food I dont know why the image is a wine glass but I love the way this came out.
Section 2
Sections 1 and 2 are touching base with tools i know how to use already but Mickaela is pointing out somethings that i have may have over looked but the man who knows everything knows nothing right.So im just being open to the way Mickaela uses Illustrator im liking the walk threw. I did the pen tool sheet and i tried to find something online to trace but everything bored me so i just did the sheet.
Section 3
Made a few simple design templates never did this before so but i think they came out fine look good to me.This section was extremely helpful and well explained I had a lot of fun creating these templates

Hilary has an MBA from Santa Clara University, and is a Certified Financial Planner.
The 7 Steps to Wealth
Financial freedom can often seem mysterious and elusive. Some spend their entire lives pursuing it, but never attain it. Yet others build empires only to make unrecoverable mistakes. In this talk, Hilary demystifies the skills necessary and the steps to create your own financial freedom.
When Can I Retire? The Secrets to Financial Freedom
Financially speaking, isn't this the question on everyone's mind? We spend our lives nose to the grindstone, working, saving, and hoping we're doing everything right. But how do you know? Not only that, but what about all the things we can never know? What happens if the stock market crashes again? In this talk, Hilary will give simple and easy-to-understand frameworks to help your audience members understand where they are on their own path to wealth, so each person can leave with a customized financial action checklist.
Overcoming the Wealth Gap: How to Become Financially Free
Why is it that some people achieve massive wealth while others do not? And why is it for many that once they have money, it doesn't always make them happy? The secret to unlocking the wealth and fulfillment you truly desire is hidden in your own wealth psychology.
In this groundbreaking presentation Hilary shares with your audience:
- The findings of my extensive research first presented in my TEDx talk, The Surprising Power of Language to Make You Rich, which explores the impact of beliefs on a person's ability to acquire wealth and happiness.

Reliance Jio, the telecom arm of Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Industries, has announced Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer for its subscribers, after telecom regulator Trai last week recommended it to stop its Jio Summer Surprise offer midway.
As per the new offer, those customers who were unable to sign up earlier can now subscribe to Jio Prime membership plan. New users has the option to buy Rs 408 plan, which includes Rs 99 Jio Prime subscription + Rs 309 pack, to avail free voice and 1GB data per day. Subscribers can also recharge Rs 608 plan (Rs 99 + Rs 509) to use 2GB of 4G data per day.
Following the recharge, a Jio subscriber will get free services for 84 days.
The new tariffs under Dhan Dhana Dhan offer are marginally higher compared to the original plan where in users, after subscribing to Jio Prime membership plan, got recharge values of Rs 303 and Rs 499 for 1GB and 2GB 4G data benefits with unlimited voice call.
Under Jio summer Surprise, all Jio Prime members making their first recharge payment of Rs 303 (or higher) plans got 3 months complimentary services in addition to the benefits of their purchased plan.
However, last week Trai advised Jio to withdraw the 3 months complimentary benefits of Jio Summer Surprise offer. The order came days after Jio announced that it has clocked 72 million paid users.
(Disclosure: Reliance Jio is owned by Reliance Industries, which also owns Network18, the publisher of Firstpost)

July 2013, on the eighth through the thirteenth, we took our second trip as EYS Class of 2016. Since last Summer, we have had three new people join our group, and I know that we all enjoy each other's company. We are very happy to have them in our group. (Samantha, Shaderick, and Krisitan. Please forgive me if their names are spelled wrong.)
Last Summer our trip was mainly to get to know each other, and to learn about the natural history of the Great Smoky Mountains. This year, however, we learned about the cultural history of the GSMNP. We hiked to the Walker sisters cabin, which is near Metcalf Bottoms picnic area. We also talked to a woman named Robin, who grew up living with the Walker Sisters. She talked to us about each of them, and how they worked together, as well as what life was like back then.
We also climbed a 60ft Alpine Tower, at Maryville College. That experience was fun, but it also gave each of us a chance to push our limits, and encourage others to do the same.
Our backpacking trip was three days and two nights. Luckily, unlike last year, it did not rain on us a lot. In fact it only rained on us once, and we already had our tents set up.
The backpacking trip was loads of fun. We learned, talked, and laughed a lot. The five of us who were initially in the group grew closer, and we all got to know the new people. Plus, we were a little sad about not having last years group leaders, Caleb and Gina, but John and Casey were just as crazy and fun. We grew close to them as well.
Before we started our backpacking trip though, we drove trough Cades Cove. We got stuck in a couple of bear jams, but we ended up not seeing any bears. Though, we did see some bear scat on the backpacking part. We also walked through Elkmont and hiked to a cabin, that not a lot of people get to see.
All in all, the trip was fun, we had some hilarious moments, and some slightly depressing ones; we got to eat trail food, I definitely stepped away with a lot of new knowledge about the cultural history of the GSMNP, our group grew closer to each other; plus we are one step closer to becoming great leaders for the preservation and conservation of our National Parks.

One in six women and one in 33 men have experienced an attempted or completed rape.
Children and youth
Approximately 15.5 million children are exposed to domestic violence every year.
- 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys is sexually abused before the age of 18. Incest accounts for half of all sexual abuse cases.
- Young women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence.
- Children exposed to violence are more likely to attempt suicide, abuse drugs and alcohol, run away from home, engage in teenage prostitution, and commit sexual assault crimes.
- Men exposed to physical abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence as children are almost four times more likely than other men to have perpetrated domestic violence as adults, according to a large study.
- Domestic violence and sexual assault severely impact not only victims, but entire communities. In addition to the devastating damage suffered by victims and their families, these crimes also have huge financial costs.
- The cost of intimate partner violence annually exceeds $5.8 billion, including $4.1 billion in direct healthcare expenses.
- Between one-quarter and one-half of domestic violence victims report that they lost a job, at least in part, due to domestic violence. Women who experienced domestic violence are more likely to experience periods of unemployment, have health problems, and be welfare recipients.
- Domestic violence has been estimated to cost employers in the U.S. up to $13 billion each year.
Congress's commitment to improving the response to domestic and sexual violence has made a significant difference in the lives of victims. The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), enacted in 1984, has been the foundation of the response to domestic violence victims, including shelters and outreach programs across the country.
VAWA saved an estimated nearly $14.8 billion in net averted costs in its first six years alone.

In my lifelong effort to pass the Turing test I have developed a few techniques. I often great strangers with 'What do you think?' It is a subtle compliment. How many people's thoughts are actually worth hearing? It is an invitation to a conversation more interesting than the weather.
It is, however, generally a failure. The most common response is 'I don't think!' or 'They don't pay me to think.' This demands a reply. 'No one pays you for the best things in life.' is too clumsy. After a bit of work I settled on a reply.
When I am told 'I never think.' I widen my eyes and say in as impressed voice as I can muster: 'Are you a Senator?'

Falkenbach is a unique band in their style. They do not follow trends and with their third release "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" they present us a different approach to music. Vratyas Vakyas gave us more details...
Bleeding: Hello my friend, I am Andrew from Greece. How are you?
Greetings! Well, I´m fine, but pretty busy...
We had to wait way too long, since 1998, in order to get a new album from Falkenbach. What are the reasons for this delay?
There were several reason. On one hand I´ve been rather busy with building up my own label Skaldic Art Prod. On the other hand personal reasons which I do not want to explain more detailed. Of course a lot of people, mainly Napalm Rec. told me that such a long period of silence would harm Falkenbach. To me this was of no importance. To me Falkenbach was never a business thing, and to me the only aim was to release a new album no earlier than I felt it was the right time to do so. During the last years I got some insights in how this "underground" business works, and obviously 99% of all people think of money when they talk about music. This goes for labels as well as magazines. I wanted to show that to me Falkenbach would never be just a way to get money, and if this period of silence will lead to lower selling, it's absolutely ok with me. This new album needed its time, and I gave it all the time it needed. Fortunately Napalm did not give me any pressure, and in the end the final result showed me that I did the right thing. Beside that I think people who keep the truth in heart do not forget after just some years...
So, we finally have "Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" in our hands! Where did you record this album and who was the producer? Did anything weird happen during the recording process that we should know?
The new album was recorded at Tidalwave Studios in Karlsruhe, Germany, with the help of Mr. Patrick Damiani as sound engineer. It´s been the best studio experience I had so far, and I just can recommend this studio and the skills of Patrick to every band that´s looking for the best possible recording result. The whole process of the recording was exactly planed, there was no space for weird things.
Your music style has not changed a lot since "Magni Blandinn Ok Megintin". The epic atmosphere still remains in combination with mostly clear vocals this time and more acoustic guitars. Is this what you exactly wanted to achieve and is this also the reason you used some guest musicians in the album for the first time in the history of the band?
First of all I want to say that most of the songs are older material. Some of the songs featured on the new album are even older than the debut album, for example Homeward Shore or Donar's Oak. So one cannot say that the musical style change to this or that direction due to the fact that time went by during the years. I never try to compose songs of a special kind of style. The album was meant to feature 9 songs all in all, and the two missing songs were a bit faster and raw compared to the now featured material. Due to lack of time it wasn´t possible to get them on the new album, too. The guest musicians I added to the new recording due to two reasons: first of all I know about their musical skills, and secondly I know them for years now, and I know about their attitude. Their appearance on the new album was a great experience for me personally.
Would you like to change anything in the album?
With some more time I'd like to see the two missing songs on it, beside that nothing should be changed I guess.
Everything became more than acceptable in my opinion, little details are always there after a while a musician wanted to change afterwards, but nothing of importance.
How important do you consider your lyrics to be and, what are the sources from
which your lyrical concepts are drawn?
The lyrics are the main reason for why Falkenbach exists. They represent the truth about Falkenbach, and Falkenbach itself is there only because the message has to be spread. The lyrics themselves are inspiration, and everyone who reads them should be able to see where they take their inspiration from I guess.
"Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty" will be on the stores and in a limited edition digipack if I am not wrong. Does this edition include anything else than the normal one?
There is no bonus track on it or something like that. The only difference between the digi pack and the "usual" version is the layout, which is going to be something special. But even the booklet is added to the digi pack, so beside the digi-cover itself there's no difference. With those 2 more tracks one of them may have been taken as a bonus for the digi or the LP version.
Would you prefer to be a great band in the underground
scene or just an average one in the mainstream scene?
I guess every musician would at least say that he prefers to be a great underground band. A lot of bands sign deals with big label as soon as they get the chance to do so, and they all hope to grow as big as possible. They do a lot for it, and in the end most of them are nothing more than a little thing in the mass of bands. Falkenbach remained an underground band during all the years, because I never wanted to go on promotional tours or play live festivals or a whole tour. Falkenbach could have grown much faster and much bigger I guess, but to be it's not important to be popular, but to be relevant, and this is not possible of you're a part of the mainstream.
Why should someone prefer to buy your album than any other release of our days?
Who does not know a single good reason himself should buy mainstream products.
Are there any albums in your collection that would surprise some of your fans? What kind of music do you like listening to in your free time?
I mainly listen to the bands I released with my own label Skaldic Art Prod so far. I use to support young and very talented bands with outstanding attitude only. Everyone interested in it should have a look at http://www.SkaldicArt.de There you can find more details about this topic. Beside metal in general I listen to classical composers like Wagner or Groothe for example.
Do you think art is "stealing" (influenced from) life or life is "stealing" art?
In my opinion true art is not influenced by life nor anything else known from this world. True art is something divine and unexplainable. What we know about "usual" art, means the superficial way of creating, is definitely influenced by life. But both kind of art influence life.
I have nothing else to ask you. I just hope we will not have to wait so many years again for your next album! Thanks for your time! Closing is yours...
Thanx for your support and hails from the depths of my heart to all those who still support Falkenbach. Make up your own mind about the bands and individuals I support with my label Skaldic Art www.SkaldicArt.de. Trust me, they deserve it!

I happened to be on vacation as it happened. I was waking up in my hotel room in Kaua'i, Hawaii by my frantic sister who told me the news.
My response: "Is this for real?"
Jesse Burgheimer | 22 | California
#46 | Monday, September 17th 2001
all morning i had my eyes glued on the tv ... around noon i started to feel sick, i needed to stop watching, stop listening, but as long as i was sitting there i couldn't tear myself away. someone suggested we all head out and give blood, so the office (five of us) took off around one o'clock in the afternoon to make the drive out to a blood bank. when we went past it, while looking for a place to eat, there was a line of people out the door and the parking-lot was crammed with cars.
we found a grill a few blocks down - groups of people were huddled around the restaurant, talking in low, whispered tones. finishing lunch just before two, we headed back to the blood bank. some volunteers were handing out pamphlets and saying we should expect a three to four hour wait, i checked my watch, 2:15 ... i asked for some water and took a place in line with the people from my work.
after an hour we were almost at the steps of the blood bank, a few tv vans had pulled up and were getting shots of everyone milling around in-line. a newspaper truck swung by and started giving away papers ... they already had pictures from new york. just as we were about to start up the steps, a woman came outside and told everyone that people were packed inside, and they wanted us to back up so they could give everyone more room. we backed up all the way across the parking lot, when we finally stopped moving backwards i realized we were now further away from the steps then when we had started ... my watch said 3:00
two people from the office split just after that, now it was just barbara, our manager, and nancy, one of the partners, and me. we handed the free papers around a few times and waited, the line was going even slower now, a half-hour later we were back to the spot we'd first started at, another half-hour passed and we were at the foot of the steps again.
at this point another woman from the clinic came out and said the wait would be three to four hours once we were inside the building. the steps were the wheel-chair accessable kind, that wrapped around the front of the blood bank three times, we were at the end of the first wrap. nancy, barbara, and i looked at each other ... i started thinking, "what if i wait all day and don't get to do anything" ... "what if this is just a huge waste of time" ... nancy and barbara decided they'd had enough. "we'll come back tomorrow" ... that made sense, we could show up early tomorrow and give. i took a step out of the line to follow nancy and barbara down the ramp, suddenly i could see myself at home - watching tv, wishing i had done something about this. a feeling of helplessness washed over me, i froze. i thought about all the people three thousand miles away - people trapped, fighting for their lives, holding on by a thread ... people who didn't have a choice, people who wouldn't have any more choices. i shouted at barbara and nancy, i told them id be staying, id see them tomorrow.
i let out a small sigh as i watched my co-workers leave. the line advanced another two feet up the ramp. someone had left a wallstreet journal next on the guard-rail next to me - a wallstreet journal takes hours to read, end to end. i got hooked on them taking a class on economics up at the university of washington. i snatched the paper up and tucked it under my arm. a woman came by with snacks - oreos, nuts, and handisnacks. cheese and crackers seem'd like the best way to go, but i wasn't hungry yet, so i shoved the little pastic package into a pocket.
another half an hour passed and i was inside the clinic, it was a mass of people - sitting, standing, packed in shoulder to shoulder in some places ... no one knew where to go, you simply payed attention to who was ahead of you and followed them ... an elderly man about four people ahead suddenly took off down a corridor and about twenty of us followed him. a doctor stopped us after about thirty yards, and all of us had to slowly worked our way back out to the lobby. i nudged my way around the crowd and saw the guy who was ahead of me at the information desk talking to the receptionist. i slipped though the crowded lobby and took a place behind him. i saw the girl who had been behind me, made eye contact and pointed at the receptionist, she nodded and started moving towards the desk. after a few minutes the receptionist handed him a medical form and looked up at me. name, birthday, and social security number later i was holding a donor form and shuffling off to the back of the clinic to wait in another line. my watch grinned 5:30 back at me.
whether you like it or not, by standing in line with the same people for hours you slowly start to get to know them. the gentleman ahead of me was a forty year-old european. the day's tragedy had completely crushed him. there were tvs in some parts of the waiting area, every now and then he look down from the reports, shake his head, then turn and ask me "why?" in a hurt and angered tone. i never knew how to respond to him, actually i don't think i needed to, the question was on everyone's lips.
the girl behind me was a nineteen year-old student at the san francisco city college. she was a broadcast major, "but i don't want to do the news. i want to be an on-air personality". all the schools in the city were closed today so she had gone with her housemates to give blood.
by 6:30 we were in the regular waiting room, several tvs were on and we were all watching the same reports that had been flooding in throughout the day. the same footage, over and over. everyone was quiet, focused, contemplative. the tables in the middle were stacked several feet high with magazines and newspapers, i picked up a year-old newsweek, paged though it, and made small talk with my european friend.
by 7:30 we had been herded into the donor room. about twenty tables had been setup and nurses were scurrying around tending to everyone. the smell of iodine was almost overwhelming ... a girl wearing a white tank top started to cry, a kid who had been speaking russian outside fainted. we were all moved into private rooms where a nurse gave a quick consultation and pricked our fingers. back outside we all showed off the small bandaides they gave us. while we were waiting for a table a phone started ringing behind me. around the tenth ring a nurse suddenly looked me in the eyes, "can you get that, tell them donor-collections," she asked. i walked behind a small divider, found the phone, and picked it up.
"donor-collections," i said.
"hi, i have a rare blood type and i recently took a trip to east-asia. i want to come in today and i was wondering if .."
"can you hold on for a second," i asked.
but she continued, "i just got back a month ago, but i was really wondering if i could go down and ..."
"you're going to want to speak to a nurse," a said quickly, "let me get you one."
"oh, i thought you were a nurse."
i grabbed an nurse who was walking around and told her about the call. about twenty minutes later the same phone rang again, but this time everyone in-line turned and looked at me. i gave a small grin and walked over to answer it, then found another nurse.
about ten minutes to eight i was standing at the front of the line, waiting for a table. i started hopping from foot to foot, id eaten almost nothing, except for the cheese and crackers id been saving, and had been on my feet for the last six hours ... then a nurse called me over. it took about twenty minutes to give blood. the woman who stuck me took forever numbing my arm, and trying to get the tubes sorted out. i thought i was going to put my toes through the bottom of my shoes, i was clenching them so hard.
i ended up on a table next to a rather striking indian woman. she worked at a downtown law firm, and did kick-boxing and karate in her spare time. the local news crew was still inside and decided to film people giving blood. the woman on my left was very adamant about not wanting to be taped. she told me she was going to punch the anchor man in the nose, if he came near her ... they'd given me a ball to squeeze while i was lying there, i offered to throw it at him instead.
after losing a pint of blood i lay on my back for a few minutes. a nurse brought me some water. then, after my head felt like it was the right weight again, i sat up, slowly collected my newspaper and jacket. after that i made my way to a counter where they had drinks and some food. on my way there, i ran into my european friend, they'd given him two stickers, "be nice to me i gave blood today" and "today i saved a life", on red and white hearts which he'd affixed to his shirt. he grinned at me, i grinned back, then he headed for the door.
i sat down at the counter and asked for some orange juice. a few cups and a rice crispy treat later i started feeling a lot better. after about ten minutes of orange juice and snacks, my stomach decided it was going to get a real meal, or it was going to get my liver ... so i left the counter, waved to the last of the people id spent the day in-line with, and headed out the door. i caught a cab a few minutes later and gave the address of my office. i still had to get my truck and make the trek back home. my watch said 8:30
for everyone who didn't have a choice.

I was still sound asleep when NYC and Washington DC were being attacked by terrorists last Tuesday morning. Oblivious to what had happened, a couple of hours after the attack, I peacefully enjoyed breakfast with my daughter, while we both watched cartoons.
All of a sudden, my boyfriend, who had been asleep, entered the room with this devastantingly sad look on his face. I knew something was wrong.
Not to scare my little one, he discretely asked me if I was aware of what had happened in NYC and Washington DC, and I told him I had no clue as to what he was talking about. He had heard the news on the radio as the alarm clock went off. That is what I call a "rude awekening."
Quietly, we both go into our room, turn on the TV and watch in horror footage of what had been recorded until that point.
I remember the golf war, the L.A. riots, the Oaklahoma bombing, and many other tragedies that we, as a nation, have had to endure. This event, however, felt a lot closer to home and its profound and devastating effects will be felt in my heart for a very long time. Honestly, I don't think the wound will ever heal.
My heart goes out to those whose friends and family have died in the tragedy. My thoughts and prayers will be with them and all other survivors who will have to live the rest of their lives with memories that should have never come into existence.
I wish we could resolve this peacefully. God bless us all.

I was asleep. Our school has sleep-in days on Tuesday mornings, and I woke up an hour later than usual. A few minutes before I was about to leave, my mom called me from work, asking if my dad was awake yet. He was, so I told her so, and the she told me to tell him to turn on the tv, that some planes had been hijacked and attacked the World Trade Center. I had no idea what she was talking about, until I turned on the TV and saw the smoke and then saw them collapse. My dad was sitting there, just saying 'Oh my GOD.'
I kept feeling chills just watching it, and it took me a while to understand fully what had happened. I don't even remember what I was feeling until I saw one of my friends who's cousin works near the Trade Center, and I remember feeling so terribly upset. I suppose before that I was in shock.

As I was on my way to school at 7:20 in the morning I first heard the news. I didn't grasp right away what was happening and thought perhaps it was a joke. Then as I flipped through other stations I began to realize it wasn't. Not very long after I heard them reporting that the second tower had fallen. I could barely hold back the tears as I realized what was going on.
As soon as I got to school I called my mother and told her to turn on the TV and then went to class in utter shock and fear. Though I live on the West coast I was still afraid. Afraid of what might happen next, if more was to come.

"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
I think about identity a lot. Although thinking about it is especially hard to avoid at the end of the year with all the advertisements proclaiming "New Year, New You," there is a year-round, never-ending American rhetoric about being yourself, expressing yourself, finding yourself–all without any explanatory force. What is the self? What is the source or where is the seat of my identity? Who am I? Am I the same person I was last year, five years, ten years ago? Am I a product determined by my environment or are there parts of me that are inborn and unchangeable?
These are typical formulations of questions about identity. They ask for a philosophical, psychological, biological, and/or neurological answer. But I have also begun to think about a more anthropological variation of the question. Do we become different people in different places?
When I first came to Turkey in 2007 I was shocked that people looked at me as an American. On my most recent stint there I was surprised when my new friends perceived me as a Christian. Before going abroad I had never actively thought of myself as an American, and my relationship with Christianity has never been as straightforward as my abroad friends assumed. On the other hand, nobody had any idea that I had any interest or talent in art, yet in the US my artistic interests seemed to define me.
In different places, it seems that different parts of our identity become salient. Do you agree?
PS: This Open Yale course on "Death" covers some of the basic problems and classic thought experiments on the philosophy of identity. The RadioLab podcast about "Memory and Forgetting" adds complexity to the question (specifically, the idea that our memories are not static).

Hello. It is I, Merlin, the handsomest cat in all the land. I would like to ask the readership one question: If not for cats to curl up in, what are hats for? I know it may be a stretch for your tiny, non-cat minds to process such a deep philosophical question – I know this, because my attempts to settle the question in a paws-on manner were met with "Merlin, get out of my hat" – but try, will you?
The answer is: Hats are for cats to curl up in. It was a trick question. Ha! Gotcha. Over and out.
