I'm sorry for my rant.

Travelling as a Couple – Top 3 Domestics
Ancient sayings and wise proverbs from most corners of the world talk about the curious case of the travel partner; a friend is not tested until you have travelled together. Travelling is an interesting phenomena which presents a range of revelations about yourself; what you like, what you hate and what kind of person you are. Travelling with a companion therefore really provides an insight into another person that little other shared experiences can offer. Many friendships have ended and many friendships have been forged by the experience of travelling with someone else – the little nuances that you may not notice day to day over dinner and social gatherings at home can suddenly exasperate you whilst away. The sweet endearing qualities you previously liked in a friend can drive you to insanity when on an 8 hour cramped bus ride to see an underwhelming waterfall.
Having a friend or companion who has successfully passed through the travel litmus test is a rarity that must be truly appreciated and utilized fully– provided of course you passed their litmus test too. So what then is it like to travel as a couple? Spending 24 hours a day every day with one other person who knows you best without any real respite and with whom you don't need to feign the politeness and civility that mere friends, acquaintances and even strangers would warrant can be challenging.
For some strange reason when travelling together both Ali and I are actually the best versions of ourselves and are a lot more laid back and relaxed than when at home with the daily routine of life. We both take on our respective travel roles at which we excel and we mesh together (mostly) seamlessly; him the logistical master, the man power, the doer and the comforter when needed (when the travel exhaustion and jet lag makes me go a little cray cray). I on the other hand bring the research for him to translate into routes and timings, the food wish lists (huge responsibility, the outcome of which can really make or break) and some helpful language phrases along with charm, wit and generally exquisite conversation (maybe some slight embellishment there).
Nonetheless, we still have our (mostly ridiculous) travel domestics whichever country we may be in with consistent specific underlying root causes. Here are our most common 3 travel domestics and how we try to remediate them:
This is something that I cannot stress enough. Food is probably responsible for 90% of our travel domestics. I'm not sure if this is normal with most people (t must be, right?) however we both become agitated, easily frustrated and have a heightened sense of emotional instability generally when we are hungry. Our most common turn of phrase that we use is Hangry – a perfect word to describe the state of anger induced by hunger. This is especially heightened when travelling and food options are not necessarily always available where you expect or when you need them to be. Add into that some specific dietary requirements and language barriers and you could have a full blown passive aggressive tit for tat war of scathing underhanded comments thrown at each other.
Learning Point: Honestly speaking as Ali suffers from Hanger more severely than I do the responsibility lies on me to remediate, so whilst dealing with my own hanger I need to ensure I always have a full supply of preselected snacks I can throw at him when his hanger symptoms show (mostly brunch bars and crackers, crazy I know but he loves them). The problem with this however is that I lack the ability of foresight – when I am full I cannot conceive of a time where I may be in any other state other than full, even though experience has time and time again has demonstrated otherwise. I'm trying to get better at this as the consequences of not can be extremely damaging.
Appropriate clothing and footwear is such a key element for a general state of happiness. Packing appropriate clothing and footwear however is not a strength of mine. In day to day life I am what some may label a pessimist, however as soon as I am faced with an empty suitcase and a foreign destination this raging unrecognizable optimist breaks out who is intent on packing the most ridiculously weather inappropriate clothes. As I am the key advisor and reviewer of my husband's packing this optimism then is imparted on him as he mistakenly trusts me on matters of weather and climate considerations. As a result we have spent a few holidays from Berlin to the Scottish Highlands to Tokyo freezing our socks off (well we would be if we weren't wearing open toe sandals in torrential rains that is). As a result we now have a wardrobe at home solely for the hoodies, leg warmers and hiking shoes we have bought from our travels necessitated by a desire to avert pneumonia. This also means that whilst 15% of our photos show us wearing optimistic clothes and belligerent smiles the other 85% is of us looking like what Mr. David Cameron may categorize (incorrectly) as delinquent youths (due to the aforementioned hoodies).
Learning Point: We now, no matter what the destination, always take one bulky hoodie and a pair of sturdy hiking trainers each. Even if we were to go to Barbados in the middle of a drought and a scorching summer we will not be lulled into a false sense of security. "Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
Time Keeping
The concept of time on holiday is an interesting one of which there are two schools of thought. Those who treat time leisurely on holiday seeing a main purpose of said holiday to be relaxation and leisure. Others see every minute away as an opportunity and asset that must be fully utilized and ravaged. What's interesting though is the proponents of each camp are not who you would expect. I remember going on holiday to Miami with my brother, someone who doesn't even know what the world pre-10am looks like (and has managed to sustain a career with that integral belief). This is someone who was late for every single G.C.S.E exam (UK State examinations) he sat – both morning and afternoon due to sleep! When we were in Miami every single day he would be up, showered and ready to leave the hotel by 7am to get every last bit of beach swimming time in. He viewed me with such judgment and disdain for getting up at 9am as though there was a repugnant sloth before him.
Unfortunately my husband also fits predominantly in this school of thought. Now don't misunderstand me, I am also up for utilizing time as well as possible especially with the kind of destinations we usually travel to which are rich in culture, history and landmarks. However I think a bit of lee way is necessary, say for example, on the first couple of days of your honeymoon in Vietnam after a manic month of last minute wedding logistics and the most challenging period of work in your career made up of intense 12-14 hour days. When two people are on different body clocks; one needing to recover from tiredness to be able to fully enjoy themselves and the other eager to go out and explore immediately, it can be extremely frustrating for both.
Learning Point: It is logical that what you do on holiday is determined by what kind of holiday it is – leisurely beach breaks at a resort lend themselves to sleeping in and a relaxed pace, whereas active holidays or short city breaks require more tempo and utilization of time. That being said, if you have travelled far for some people it is necessary to fully relax and recover from jet lag on the first 1-2 days so that you don't go on to fizzle out. This is a compromise we have both come to and Ali now reigns in his eagerness to go go go as soon as we drop our bags off to the hotel to take some time to recover and be fully refreshed the next day. I now try to make sure I've relaxed and packed ahead of time so no more dashes from work on a Thursday evening to pack through the night and head to the airport on Friday AM already exhausted before our plane has even set off.
Travelling as a couple has its challenges but from my experience it is the best way to travel. Friends, relatives and definitely not colleagues (if you've ever been unfortunate enough to travel with colleagues I feel for you) are not down for whatever cray cray shit you may pull. From having nervous breakdowns on the plane when you realize you didn't register your dietary requirements and lacked the foresight to bring any food with you and so you're stuck eating bread rolls for the 10 hour flight to having the non judgmental support of your partner after you lash out at an old Chinese man who happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back of random people shoving their cameras in your face to photograph you, it is comforting, empowering and most importantly fun to experience travel with your partner. Most couples have issues that sometimes manifest themselves most whilst navigating foreign lands and unfamiliar landscapes. The key is to understand what your travel domestics are mostly about, what the root causes are and how you can both compromise to deal with them. Helpful hint that may save you time, it's most probably to do with food, 90% of issues usually are.

Nordberg talking about gene editing
Ana Nordberg is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Information and Innovation law. The presentation has the title 'Keeping Humanity in the Driver's Seat: A cross-disciplinary View on Gene-editing' and is the result of ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration under the BioSYNergy project. The symposium 'Making the cut? Scienticfic possibilities and ELSI challenges in gene-editing' is hosted by Citizen's Health through public-private Initiatives: Public health, Market and Ethical perspectives – CHIP ME (COST Action IS1303), and will take place 9 and 10 March 2017 in Trento, Italy.
Title: Keeping Humanity in the Driver's Seat: A cross-disciplinary View on Gene-editing
Abstract: Gene-editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, hold great promises for the advancement of science and technology. Yet, before society can harness such potential it is imperative to consider both the benefits of these technologies, and their problematic aspects from a broader societal and value-based perspective. This presentation presents an interdisciplinary effort by lawyers, biologists, philosophers, social scientists, and physicists to identify and discuss the most problematic legal, ethical and societal implications of this technology and how to address these. The presentation considers the actual scientific state of the art, potential applications and the corresponding risks and uncertainties. It also addresses the perceived legal and regulatory challenges scientists face. It contains a philosophical analysis addressing the precautionary principle and the dual use problem. It also address the importance of communication, social perception and public debate. The legal analysis draws upon the all other contributes incorporating these in the legal analysis. It focus mainly in regulatory and intellectual property law questions. It will be argued that: General moratoriums and blank prohibitions do a disservice to science and innovation. There is a body of international and European human rights norms applicable to gene editing. These require consistent implementation and interpretation.

Early advice on the new past time of camping in the White Mountains was offered by Ticknor's 1887 travel guide: "In selecting the ground for a forest-camp attention must be paid to the two main requisites, - wood and water."
The term "forest camp" would appear some decades later in the early title for Dolly Copp Campground. It was known first as "Copp Spring Public Camp Ground" and then for many years and more widely as "Dolly Copp Forest Camp."
By 1900 the "camping movement" nationally was firmly established. Its basic feature was and remains, to quote the dictionary, "briefly living out of doors in a much simpler lifestyle than that to which the camper soon returns."
Back then, visitors to New Hampshire increasingly craved informality, partly in reaction to the overbearing snobbery of White Mountain summer hotels. The "sleeping bag" was also invented at this time.
The camping movement in the United States had its origins in the Northeastern states, and thus it is no surprise that tent sites would be sought early on in the high mountain valleys of rural northern New Hampshire.
The creation of the White Mountain National Forest after 1911 gave public land status to much of the area. The Copp homestead, and other nearby farm properties, were added to the new federal forest preserve in 1915.
The potent national forces of forest conservation, scenic mountain recreation and auto camping now met in a field along the Peabody River, five miles south of Gorham, where the river was crossed by a bridge and the Pinkham B Road road leading to Randolph.
At this junction was a long, thin, north-south riverside field, suitable for vehicle access to tents, and accompanied by a good spring for water supply. At this crossroads Dolly Copp Campground was born.
This little strip of land, hugging the east side of the Peabody, was all there was to the campground in its infant years. This roadside "cradle of Dolly Copp Campground" is now the USFS Dolly Copp Picnic Ground aside Route 16. No camping is allowed here today.
There are only a few tantalizing bits of information preserved from this earliest period. One is found in the 1927 George N. Cross booklet on Dolly Copp, which states that "in 1915 the federal government added to our National Forest the old farms in the Glen and laid out the Dolly Copp Camp Ground."
A report by Mount Washington Observatory founder Robert S. Monahan in 1933 states that "Dolly Copp was first recognized as a campground about 15 years ago when a large fireplace and two toilets were provided by the Forest Service."
Then the Campground rules of 1936 and the brochure of 1940 both cite 1915 as the origin date.
Large fireplace circa
1915 in later photo with Xeno Fontaine of the CCC
An old USFS memo states that its employee E. D. Fletcher "made the first survey of this area and established the Camp Grounds." His initials are on a federal survey map of the area believed to date from 1915, "DEL. P.G. and E.D.F.", that map showing the "area available for cottage sites" on the adjacent Copp Farm.
Excerpt from E. D.
Fletcher map of 1915.
Fletcher was a man of some importance to While Mountain National Forest History. He first visited the White Mountains in 1888 and as a USFS employee his surveys in the area date from 1912. He wrote parts of the White Mountain National Forest history in the thirties.
The introductory text of the 1951 USFS Campground brochure states "Since 1915, the steadily increasing number of campers and visitors has developed a spirit of cooperation resulting in practical self government requiring a minimum of supervision."
An undated and unsigned but post-1951 vintage USFS file item states that "It was in 1915 that the name Dolly Copp commenced to be used most popularly... and the Federal Government.... laid out the Dolly Copp Forest Camp." Yet the 75th anniversary celebration of 1996 was based upon an assumed opening in 1921.
In the decade of the teens the automobile revolution in America was bursting into the White Mountains. As early as 1906 auto clubs had organized tours of the White Mountains.
The country had only one half million autos registered in 1910, that number reaching eight million in 1920. What was termed "auto camping" became a popular national recreation.
But in these first years most camping was individualized and informal, with spontaneous squatting on remote private property, out of view beside rural roads and farm fields. The sudden new auto invasion was not yet channeled towards organized campgrounds.
Rural residents and governmental units were unprepared for the new auto influx. Histories of camping tell us that they soon reacted with local ordinances, fences and no trespassing signs.
As the hunt for roadside squatting spots became
harder for the early auto campers, the development of the first
formalized campgrounds around 1920 was welcomed by them.
at this scale well demonstrates
The early unregulated environment of 1910-1920 is nicely mirrored in a Forest Service archive item that may have been written about 1980; "In 1915 the Forest Service erected two latrines and a fireplace near Dolly Copp Spring where passers by had been picnicking and camping for years."
Since the date used in recent decades for the formal organization of Dolly Copp Campground is 1921, the implication is that early camping of the teens along Route 16 at what is now the Dolly Copp Picnic Ground was spontaneous and without much governmental management. But the reference above says 1915.
It seems that the 1921 date needs some further documentation. Otherwise, the centennial Campground celebration should start in 2015 (let's have a six year party?).
DOLLY COPP FARM COTTAGE PLAN. Although public property after 1915, across the Peabody from the growing camping activity at the riverside Picnic Area the Copp and Culhane Farms were planned for residential development. In 1916 they almost converted from farm land to private summer cottage lots, with the blessings and sponsorship of the Forest Service.
Early USFS policy aimed at protecting the White Mountain National Forest from over cutting of timber and resultant erosion, not necessarily prohibition of second home development on newly acquired federal lands.
Colorized excerpt from
1916 USFS cottage plan
In 1916 advertisements for cottage site permits were placed by the USFS. At first applications were accepted for sites throughout the Peabody River Valley, but this broad geographic choice was soon restricted to just key tracts laid out by the Forest Service specifically for second home development.
One of these planned areas was on the Copp, Culhane and Barnes properties, still leased out for agricultural use at that time.
Culhane Farmhouse in
A 1916 detailed survey map of proposed "Summer
Home Sites on Dolly Copp Farm" reveals a planned community
with a suburban type subdivision layout featuring six clusters
of lots.
The plan had the foresight to preserve some internal greenery and was not amateurish. A careful overlaying of old maps shows that the proposed open space areas were mostly the swamp and wetter ground that had not been suitable in the 1800's for use as either field or pasture.
The "Dolly Copp Farms" subdivision was to have 89 lots of about one acre each. According to the sales brochure;
The locality is one of especial natural charm.... The Peabody River with its rapid, crystal clear waters, boulders, and bordering birches adjoins the location for more than half a mile. Picturesquely dividing the site into several blocks is a beautiful forest of birch, maple and spruce....
The area is penetrated by the Pinkham Road which while giving access to the site is not one of the main White Mountain highways. The big volume of traffic is over the Glen-Gorham road one half mile away.
The lots have all been surveyed and the numbers marked on corner posts. The Forest Rangers at the Peabody Ranger Station will accompany visitors over the ground and give needed information.
Fortunately for generations of Dolly Copp campers,
USFS use policy tightened and no construction permits were ever
Great Gulf Shelter (a) --- Great Gulf Shelter (b)
Hermit Lake Shelter --- Imp Shelter
Scott comments "these four shelters have been
a long time destination for hikers and all are within hiking distance
of Dolly Copp. The first two taken by Guy Shorey No. 25 and No.
26 are of the Great Gulf Shelter between Dolly Copp and Mount
NAMING THE CAMPGROUND. It is interesting that the 1916 cottage map uses the term "Dolly Copp Farm Tract" and not "Copp" or "Hayes Copp Farm Tract." The terms "Copp Spring" and "Copp Bridge" were in use in the teens, with the word "Dolly" added to them in the twenties.
Then after the mid-twenties, only Dolly's name was used for the Campground itself. As Hayes and Dolly were a pioneer team, why was there a preference for memorials only to the wife?
The Copp Family genealogy offers perspective: "Hayes Copp was a quiet, kindly man, and Dolly was known for her housewifely skills as well as her sharp tongue. Her quaint sayings made her a character of note, which doubtless accounts for the fact that the large tract, which included the Copp farm, laid out as a camp for vacationers in the White Mountain National Forest has been given the name of Dolly Copp Camp Ground."
More evidence on naming is found in a Berlin Reporter article of 9/7/1933 which informs us that "To Mr. J. J. Fritz, former Forest Supervisor, goes the credit of giving this camp ground its name which, with its history, has so appealed to the public."

Are you afraid that you'll never look as good as a celebrity? It's time to rethink that. So, with the proper knowledge to guide you through the process, you can definitely improve your fashion sense and pull off any style. Keep reading this article and find great ways to achieve the look you are hoping for.
White and black is always in season. Just check out the major fashion runways and you can see this combination used often. You can easily use these colors in your wardrobe like a black and white dress or a nice, white shirt with a pair of black pants. In the world of black and white combinations, the possibilities are infinite.
For an easy and fast fashion boost, wear a belt. Belts come in every shape, size and color, creating an endless string of possibilities. Pair a brightly colored belt with your skinny jeans, or create a fashionable look by adding a bold patent leather belt to your outfit for a night out on the town.
Try to build your own unique look. Too many individuals try to copy others; looking great often involves putting your own spin on things. You, of course, need a certain personality to be comfortable doing this, but once you take the leap, you will surely enjoy the many compliments for being unique.
Neutral colors are in; try pairing black and white together. There are a variety of options that you give yourself when you wear white and black. There are many ways to pair these colors. There are nearly endless combinations you can wear with this combination.
Nobody is perfect when trying to be fashionable, so do not set your goals on perfection. Do you know anyone who is truly perfect? Second, by trying to be perfect, you can come across as trying too hard. Many classic looks are based on a simple flaw, like messy hair, or something slightly askew.
You can use nice black jeans with a dress shirt for a great "dressed-up" look. Blue jeans usually look more casual, but they will work sometimes as well.
Bring lots of neutral colors when you go on a trip. This way, you can travel without worrying about clashing colors. You will also have the confidence that you can make many different outfits from a select few pieces. Accessories, such as belts and scarves, can make you look nicer without taking up a lot of space in your luggage.
You are one-of-a-kind, so your look should be, too. Try to be as unique as possible, so that you do not blend in with the crowd. This isn't right for everyone, but it is a great way to get compliments on originality.
Get the most out of your beauty products to save the most money possible. For products that come in tubes, use the small devices meant for toothpaste tubes to squeeze out the last bit. You can turn bottles on their sides or upside down to get the last bits of product out. Sometimes you can cut off the top to get another two or three uses of the product. Utilize all these cost saving tips to get the most out of your beauty products.
You do not need to have too much makeup in your kit. It is best to change the colors seasonally, rather than keep everything in it at all times. Think about what you will wear to work and what you will need when you go out on the town. Cosmetics do go bad after a while, like most other products. Bacteria can also form over time.
Every woman should have a few essentials in their closet. Always have two pairs of dress slacks, one in black and a second in another dark color. Next, one pair of jeans to wear with athletic shoes and one other pair at the proper length for heels. Don't forget a simple and elegant black dress for date night or other special occasions.
If you have frizzy hair, look for a shampoo and conditioner that has moisturizing properties. You will be able to cure your frizz and make your hair stay down when you apply enough conditioner as you shower. Shy away from any products that are advertised as "volumizing".
Use a lip liner and blend the edges with a sponge applicator for fuller-looking lips. You can also skip out on the colored lipstick altogether and just apply some gloss over the blended edges. Use an extra dab of gloss in the middle of your top lip. Choose an eye shadow color that goes well with your lipstick to draw attention to your mouth. Put just a dab on the center of each lip.
Beauty Products
Mousse is a great way to improve the volume and look of your hair. The "big hair" trend of the 80s is making a comeback with many people, but the fad isn't really attractive on most women.
Use up all of your beauty products before you throw them away. Toothpaste squeezers are great for many beauty products as well. You can turn a bottle on the side or upside down to help you get all the product out. Try removing the top of the container to get the last application of your moisturizer. This is a great money saver.
If you don't have much money for clothes, let friends know. If you have a friend that has something you really want to wear, ask them if you can have it when they no longer want it. You could save a fortune on fashion this way.
After Labor Day, it is perfectly fine to wear white! Wear the colors that you want to wear, especially if a color is flattering to your body. If white is your most flattering color, then enjoy wearing it all year long. There's no such thing as the fashion police out there. They're not running around locking people up for wearing white after Labor Day!
Teasing your hair to add volume should be avoided as it can cause damage and brittleness to your hair. Additionally, do not use different textures in one hairstyle. You will look messy as opposed to looking edgy and quirky.
If you are on the larger side it is best to avoid any articles of clothing that sport horizontal stripes. This type of pattern emphasizes width of your frame, so it makes you seem even bigger. Instead, wear clothing with vertical patterns, which will draw attention to height rather than girth.
Dress properly for your figure. You might not want to hear that some clothes are not for you. However, you have something that makes you shine. Maybe it is your legs. For example, you can wear short skirts and high heels; that's fashion success. Accentuate your assets.
Be cautious when it comes to sizing. Never purchase an item of clothing without seeing how you look in it. Sizing is not based on any standard methodology. They are different depending on the brand. If you buy clothes online, use their size chart. Check and see if you will be able to return the clothes if they do not fit.
One great way to help your fashion wardrobe is to donate anything from your closet that you no longer wear. This is great for cleaning out the closet, speeding up your clothing decisions and, most importantly, making a charitable effort in your community.
Just because a fashion trend is popular doesn't mean it will be right for you. What looks fabulous on the 6′ tall, rail-thin fashion model may not translate as well on you. Pick a style that matches what you are going for. You know better than anyone else what you look good in. Your instincts are often best.
Patterns are making a massive comeback lately, especially floral patterns. Floral patterns are quite popular and are great if you want to create a new look for the spring or summer. Just be careful about accessorizing floral prints with other patterns; if you wear an especially bold or large floral print, choose shoes or other accessories with tiny patterns or go with solid colors.
Every woman needs a few basic staples when it comes to clothing. You should own two pair of dress trousers, jeans hemmed for high heels and jeans that are a casual length to be worn with sneakers. On top of that, no woman should be without a black cocktail dress.
Try a piece of clothing that you have never considered. Doing so helps you be more interested in new ideas, and you may find out that something really looks good on you. Give your wardrobe some spice with this simple tip.
If you are trying to shop on a small budget, then you shouldn't be ashamed of informing your friends. If your BFF has a piece that you love, ask her to let you know before she gets rid of it. This is a wonderful way to get fashionable pieces without spending any money.
To keep white clothing fresh, add bleach to the washing water. However, too much bleach can leave clothing looking yellowed so follow the use instructions carefully.
Excellent fashion always begins with a strong foundation. A well-fitting bra will define your figure and look very appealing. Good undergarments offer lift and support, providing a smoother look under clothing. There are various undergarments that slim down the figure and can hide probelms areas to help you look your best.
Talk to a color consultant to determine which colors look best on you. The color of your skin, eyes and hair can all affect which colors best suit you and create the effects you desire, such as looking slimmer. Finding a color that looks great on you can help you find pieces that make you look your best.
Teasing your hair actually results in damaged or brittle hair instead of giving it volume. Also, don't use a style that will give your hair two distinct textures. You'll look indecisive instead of unique and edgy.
Clothing in solid colors helps you direct attention where you want it. A simple solid color blouse will leave all the attention directed to that eye catching ruffled skirt. Pairing dark pants or trousers with a bright top will help draw the eye towards your face and facilitate more open communication.
Dress properly for your figure. A low-cut top may not work with your frame, but maybe you have legs for miles. For example, you can wear short skirts and high heels; that's fashion success. To keep it simple, use what works for you!
If you want the best fashions, you have to be very familiar with your body size, its shape, and what looks best on you. Do you have an hourglass, apple, or pear shape? Depending on the shape, you will have certain options in fashion style that will work with your shape and make you look and feel great.
Keep your style updated without spending a lot by using a resale store to sell or trade the clothes you no longer wear. Either donate your old clothes or sell them. Many shops will pay you for your clothes or give you the option to trade for items that are in stock at their store.
Fashion changes fast, and being aware of the current trends can benefit you. Doing quick searches online can provide you with a general idea of what's in style this season. Pick and choose within reason and follow advice that suits your personal fashion sense.
Your hair makes a statement about you. Because of this, your hairstyle simply must represent you well. A woman who is making her way in the corporate world would want to choose a more classic style, like a shoulder-length bob. A busy mom might prefer a less fussy wash and wear hairstyle instead.
Give yourself a monthly clothes budget. This helps you build your wardrobe without spending too much. You can create a great wardrobe without spending loads of money, but you must carefully consider your purchases and shop wisely.
As this article has shown, fashion can be accomplished by anyone with a little knowledge. Educating yourself about fashion is one of the secrets to finding the look and appearance you long for. If you use the tips laid out here, you are going to look better than ever before.
Don't hesitate to pick up a few more colorful pieces to complement your wardrobe. It is hard to not look at someone wearing a nice color. Rich shades of bright colors worn on top are a great way to add a little punch to basic denim or dark dress pants. Reserve the soft pastels and neutrals for the business environment.

Scars ... Former A former member of the NSW's Fire Brigade Charles Norville who worked out of the Stanmore Station in 1981. Picture: Robert Mckell Source: The Sunday Telegraph
A RETIRED fire fighter who was the victim of an alleged bastardisation ritual at a Sydney fire station in the early 1980s has told how the experience ruined his marriage and left him with a psychological disorder.
Charles Norville, 58, who served 14 years in the NSW Fire Brigades until 1995, is the first employee publicly to identify himself as a victim of the bastardisation culture which dominated the NSWFB in the 1970s and '80s.
Mr Norville said he was abused in 1981 where eight firefighters allegedly stripped him naked, put a vacuum cleaner on his genitals and photographed him on a cross during a mock crucifixion.
The incident was detailed in lawyers' documents which were part of a workers compensation case he pursued against the NSWFB. He won a $30,000 payout in 1996.
NSWFB Commissioner Greg Mullins has told The Sunday Telegraph he first knew of the severity of ritualistic abuse only a month ago when he read accounts of such behaviour in this newspaper.
Mr Mullins' predecessor, Ian MacDougall, said last week he too had been unaware of the problem.
There is no suggestion that either Mr Mullins or Mr MacDougall were involved in any abuse.
In the fourth week of The Sunday Telegraph's investigation into fire brigade rituals, a current firefighter has also come forward claiming he was sexually abused on several occasions by a senior officer in the 1980s and '90s.
The firefighter, who asked to remain anonymous, said the alleged incidents included a senior officer stripping him naked, demanding oral sex and placing his genitals on the firefighter's shoulder and in his ears while he was eating.
In Mr Norville's case a psychological report conducted in 1995 said his alleged bastardisation was the "primary contributor" to a mental disorder he developed and to the break-up of his marriage.
"Years after, if I saw rape on TV or in movies, I'd break out in a sweat," Mr Norville told The Sunday Telegraph. "It would take me back to that moment.".
He said the attack allegedly occurred on a night shift when he was a new recruit.
"They held me down and stripped me naked while one of them put a vacuum cleaner on my genitals in an attempt to produce an erection," Mr Norville said.
"I was tied to a cross and they made me walk to the (fire) truck naked, where they took pictures of me, put glue on me and threw glitter on me so it would stick."
According to Mr Norville, one the firefighters later said: "You're one of us now."
Mr Norville said he complained to his station officer, but little action was taken and the matter was "dealt with in-house".
"They started calling me a rat after that," he said.
His psychological report said the incident contributed to a diagnosis of adjustment disorder - a mental condition related to a psychological response to a stressful event.
After the attack, Mr Norville became a malcontent who said he was resentful towards the brigade and waged battles against it on several fronts before being retired on medical grounds in 1995 with a personality disorder.
A summary of his case in the NSW Compensation Court said he had been "assaulted by other employees" in 1981.
A NSWFB spokeswoman on Friday referred the allegation to police after being informed of the case by The Sunday Telegraph.
The current serving firefighter claimed he was sexually assaulted on several occasions at western Sydney fire stations between 1987 and 1991.
Now in his 40s, he said the practice was part of NSWFB culture.
"It was just sport for these guys," he said. "They were just deviants."
State Emergency Services Minister Steve Whan said the NSWFB had taken steps to deal with actions of the past culture that existed at "certain stations".
"There are currently police investigations, matters before the court and an ICAC investigation underway, as well as our independently chaired inquiry," he said. The inquiry was expected to report back in April.

Wow, I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this. Trion Worlds, just announced their MMORPG RIFT will be transitioning over to a free-to-play model starting on June 12, 2013. What's more, the game will be entirely F2P; with every dungeon, zone, level, and all current as well as future expansion content fully accessible to non paying players.
The MMO will have the customary cosmetic shop which will provide the usual mounts, boosts, wardrobe items and the like. A subscription will still be available that will grant extra experience, instant access to your bank, faster mount speed, and boosts to other reputation and currency gains. Those that were, and still are current subscribers will also be rewarded with loyalty and currency rewards.
The conversion to F2P will kick off alongside update 2.3, Empyreal Assault, which will add a new zone, world event, and more. Rift was one of the few P2P MMOs I enjoyed with a decent raiding experience, so personally I'm excited to see it go F2P without restrictions.
You can check out the full breakdown by taking a look at the official RIFT F2P FAQ here. The developers also plan on hosting two livestream events to discuss the conversion with fans on May 17th and May 31st.

Ha! There are so many comments about everything except rift!
fakn Pay to Win game, its fn' horrible you can literally pay money to get gear from the cash shop.
this is a fantastic shift for Rift. For those that have never played this game it is very simalar to WoW or Aion. in other words its a traditional mmo. Now with a sub fee I didnt feel like it was worth 15 dollars with Aion f2p. However once it drops the sub fee it is much more advanced game than Aion. In fact I would say it would easily be the best mmo on the f2p market and I would pick it before WoW as well. I think Rift is going to enjoy some huge sucess from this model. I couldn't be more excited for this game going f2p
personally… I wouldn't really bother with the "full game" (IE: Box version)…
Because all you get is more character and bank slot, that's it, no other bonuses.
Which is WAY worse than what TERA gave their "founders" (which included a mount)
If it doesn't cost less than 10 USD, I recommend not buying it, LOL. (tho, you can try to win it… but you're up against 10,000+ ppls)
As for subs, it's not that bad, tho it can lead to P2W very soon (especially the +10 mount speed, however I am not sure if you can mount in PvP, I haven't played Rift)
But this was one of the reason why Neverwinter got tagged P2W, for their Cash Shop mount speed – that can be used in PvP (makes a huge difference)
You can win RIFT Full Game + Expansion + 30 Day Subscription on Raptr.
It's very interesting to have that before it goes F2P, you'll get subscriber benefits!
Hurry up, the offer seems limited!
Add this code into your your Rift account on Trion website:
cya online!
With no restrictions says. i would to see that, i hope that was not a joke!!
I've been waiting for Rift to go Free to play for so long.
And the "TWO" Of you guys out of topic we arent talking about retribution
LOL!!!!!! Cant compare?Really there a lot of games out there which can compare with this game And blacklight is not the best game in the world!
If you dont like the game stop posting here then.If you want to know mister isnt only about graphics the game is about storyline if you have any clue about it.All you care is about graphics nothink else i play a lot of game like that also back to the future the game which is pretty awesome at my oppinion you should try it people i also have disney Hercules,tarzan and many others reinansces heroes.
I cant believe how you like games like this one.
Ok trion. You've got me intruiged. Now don't ruin it like so many other games have.
can someone tell me the specs for this game please?
Everyone know it, this game is already dead @asia, and if they keep p2p model will be dead here too.
BioWare, this is what FREETOPLAY means.
"No Trials, No Tricks, No Traps" gee they sure know what they are talking about, that phrase is pretty cool, and just that phrase tells us that they know how stupid other dev companies are killing their players. Loving how these games are coming along, Tera, Aion and Rift, you guys are DaBomb!
I knew this game would go free to play in the end from the start when they started advertising it on tv.
Might actually give this RPG a try
Much new people will arrive ofc, but many noobs aswell… :/
If the noobs are wiling to learn from experienced players and not act like tools I say welcome.Just hate when a noob starts and acts like they know everything and end up getting a group wipe in a dungeon or raid.All because they refuse to learn from those that have been playing for years.That said I hate expperienced players that act like ahats to noobs that ask for advice.If a noob ask me a question I gladly answer,cause the true sign of an elite player is knowing everyone starts out a noob at some point.And todays noobs can oneday become tomorrows elite.
"The true sign of an elite player is knowing everyone starts out a noob at some point. And todays noobs can one day become tomorrows elite" Quote by golgo28.
Thank you for this. 😀
It's funny because just last month I was playing this game, and I was hearing tons of people saying the only reason they DO play Rift is because it's P2P, and that if it ever went F2P they'd quit.
That's cause they are ignorant snobs.Who think cause they have played a few crap facebook games or a game from Aeria or BW,that all f2p is bad.But f2p is becoming on par as a p2p,but if done right makes spending optional not required.Me I'll spend some cash on optional things like cosmetic items or mounts if I don't have drop a monthly fee.I spent more on aion then ayears sub fees of a p2p.And that was mostly on costumes and similar things.If I enjoy a game I'll support it with my money.I just prefer to not be told I have to pay or I won't get the full game.(swtor for example of f2p done wrong)
Why does the video has speed. Also it's funny that you can still understand everything at X1.5
you'll be able to get everything in game, slowly af C:
Will u be able to lvl up to the max lvl if ur a free member and acces like 95% of the whole content or it will be like a trial? U know, u cant max up your level and such things…?
You will be able to level to max level and access every piece of content except the four SL souls.Those you will have to make a one time cash shop purchase but then the souls will be available account wide.But even if you don't buy the souls you will still have alot of souls available to use for free.Trion has said they are not gonna restrict the game for f2p players like others have..cough..swtor..cough.
TERA Wannabe's
this game was made before TERA.
Who cares if it's free? It's a bad game
you clearly have no idea wtf you are talking about scumbag wow fanboy.
everything goes free to play these days tera and rift and soon i think it well be world of warcraft but no world of warcraft no free
well again AnYone can please tell me how big is it cuz I am planning to play it 🙂
its 10 gb + but i must say worth it i expect greatness from RIFT especially seeing it go free to play best day ever i can go back to playing this awesome game
I can't digest this . How is it possible ? Well I am very happy . But I wonder what led to this!
oh also this is a new step for Trion worlds I think correct me if mistaken
Mad respect for this game going completely free.
Now if we can get SWTOR to follow the same model…. i still think their "profits" are bogus. seeing as no one wants to play a game where you can't even change your title without paying real cash…
I was talking to my bf just the other day about this, and we were saying we'd return to the game if it ever went Free to Play. I'm soo happy for this <3
Holy Shit!!!!! the f2p market is getting some killers added to the zonra wasnt expecting this at all..it seems like f2p in b2p models are really taking over the mmo market now in days…might as well say goodbye to sub mmos for while cause alot of sub games or turning f2p or b2p now O.0 :O
We have yet another reason NOT to play SWTOR! Rift seems to have the proper idea of how F2P should be. Now if the remaining P2P games go F2P I'm sure SWTOR will sink and die. I say die because I doubt EA will have the balls to backstep on their idea of gimping people for money.
Props to trion.
what is the requirements to run this game or we need an alien pc to play?
Your pc doesnt need to be a super computer, AS long as you have a semi decent video card, some ram, and a fairly good processor, you're good to go
Yeah, woo hoo, that's right, more free mooching, yeah … nah, probably invest quite a bit in this game, now that I dumped WoW. Years of playing the same old game pretty much did it for me. Will get into Rift instead, always been a keen observer with this game. Now, got money to burn on this game.
got Rift and SL expansion for free when i bought defiance on steam. thought of trying Rift out. but now thats its f2p i wont bother. f2p communities are the worst. i never group up in f2p games, i usually turn chat off and tinker around until boredom sets in. and in f2p games that usually doesnt take very long
honestly have been thinking of giving up gaming altogether as of late. games are slimmed down, content is weak, and gameplay hasnt improved in years. add to that the companies go for the quick strike sales motto and it overall has brought the industry down as far as im concerned.
when f2p games first hit the market i thought they had the potential of doing something great, but for the most part its only encouraged welfare gamers to troll and destroy the few good games out there. Rift appears to be the next victim. its hard for a company to make a good game and actually get back the money they want to spend on it when the market is filled with games targeting impulse buyers with ADD
Cry a little more, please. You sound like a ten-year-old gamer who has been playing browser games for a few months and suddenly discovered that you don't like games. Nobody gives two shits about your measly opinion, considering your purchases or thoughts won't have any effect on the gaming industry. Let that settle in, boy.
with responses like that you may want to reconsider your stance. seem to me name calling is more 'boyish' than anything i said. and i thought this was a forum, you know, designed to share opinions…. let that settle in.
There's a difference between stating an opinion, and whining about your bad personal experiences playing Club Penguin. Maybe you've been playing too much League, 'cause I'm sure we all know how shitty THAT community is at it's core. Most MMORPG's, free or not, have great communities. Even brutal games like Darkfall have loads of great people to play with.
But when you state things such as "F2P communities are the worst" and "thinking about giving up gaming", doesn't give you much room for anybody to respect or consider your opinion.
The fact is, this website revolves around free to play games. If you don't like those kinds of games (or gaming in general), then you can go whine on another website. No one is asking you to be here, and it's apparent that no one other than me has even noticed your post.
or others either share my opinion or recognize its a common one. f2p communities are often very bad. most that are not are not very player filled games and thus are more friendly in an attempt to attract more players.
its not that i havent tried alot of f2p games, cuz i have, its i have found most to be lacking. again another opinion shared by many, even by alot of players who frequent f2p games.
my comment on gaming in general is based on the fact that even p2p, b2p games are on an overall decline. again an opinion shared by many. so perhaps you should quit being so defensive. or should i make an assumption like you and assume you just cant afford anything other than f2p games? perhaps thats why my opinion upsets you so much.
Face it, the era of subbed games is almost gone. Buy-to-play i can understand because this business cannot survive unless gamers pay for what they play, at least to some degree. Many of the community wants to play for fun, not to be billed every month just to be able to log in. This doesnt mean in any way that the playerbase is bad.
Tera for example has one of the better models imo. Where everything is completely free but subbers get benefits. So the two can coexist on the same game if it's done correctly.
its not the pay model that bothers me, its the overall quality of the games and the communities. im not the only one who thinks gaming as a whole is on a decline. games are shorter, slimmed down, made for dummies etc. there is a pile of opinions out there describing this trend. even GW2 has a questionable future and its supposed to be some kind of benchmark. i guess it depends on what sites you read, but we are all entitled to our opinions.
Your arguments are plain stupid. Even the simplest games became very complex when they are played by good players.
Running a 100m is so freaking simple. Then why don't you go to Olympics and win a golden medal then? It's the same thing with computer games, they are complex when played by pro players.
You probably suck completely as a gamer and the only thing that is left to do for you is to blame communities, blame complexity of the games, etc.
You got tired of being pwned in every game.
Do you know how I know that? Because in the last 10 years I've seen bad players like you whining about games, whining about other players, community, everything. Every single time I checked their stats, they were horrible players and they always use the most stupid arguments to whine on forums.
F2P a good model to go with these days there profits will probably double. But the bad side bots will over run the game gold sellers will triple and the spam will increase and never end untill it withers away like all other MMORPGS that either start as F2P or switch over. But hey who cares about the game economy right least it's F2P.
honestly never heard the mmo rift up till now it looks impressive if its going f2p then why not try it
That's the spirit.
They had to do it… and they stayed p2p longer than I expected
they are too late, I'm not interested in this game anymore
wow, this is probably because Defiance was such a success…
Well….surprise? What am i supposed to say about something that obvious?
Except for it's not "obvious". Believe it or not, Rift wasn't in a bad spot as a pay to play game. Sure, they didn't have twelve millions subs, but they weren't close to shutting down or anything of the sort. The free to play model will just hopefully bring in a fresh slew of players to inhabit the game world like it was at launch. I'm ready to play some Rift again!
Yeye! Great news this alongside with they key I got from dragon's prophet from your site were they greatest news I could have for today 🙂
Will the storm legion expansion also be included for free?
The areas,quest,dungeons and raids from storm legion will be free at the f2p conversion.But the xpac souls will require a one time purchase from cash shop.But will then be available account wide.And no the 4 SL souls are not gonna make people OP.I'm a current sub on Rift and I've seen peole using the base game souls(which there is alot of)kick a person using a SL soul.And vice versa.It comes down to how you spend your soul points in between souls,make a decent build for pvp and you can dominate.Though equip some decent gear also doesn't hurt either.
Yeaaaaa baby!!!!!!
So it isent going to be like SWTOR 😕
You mean Forcechoke-to-Play?
In yo face EA your buisness model is trash compared to this lol ! Glad to see it happening ! Will make a video at the end of the week with all the news as usual on my youtube channel, really excited 🙂
Well..To be honest, I've never played that game, but watched videos, read reviews, etc.
Shame that it's going F2P because we all know, that happens because game is not bringing enough profit, or new players, or whatever. And there is always a risk that it can be closed forever.
Secret World will be the same, and all these fancy MMOs which thought they can survive on P2P mode. I'll not be surprised that Defiance will be the same, just not now…but..we'll see.
The Secret World won't transition into F2P just yet, it adopted the B2P model that Guild Wars & Defiance took, which quite a lot of people still prefer over a F2P model.
Guild Wars have proved that u get what u paying for. Defiance…hardly (my opinion based on reviews) [P.S. I would love to try Defiance, just don't have spare money now ^^ ] I remember City of Heroes…and now it's closed. And even if it was old MMO, it still had people, but everything is based on money and when money stop powering the system, then…poof! and it's gone. On one hand it's great that F2P games are appearing often on the market (and they're quite impressive (for example Neverwinter) ], on the other hand, as I said before, if game went from P2P or B2P to F2P, then something went wrong.
On my opinion it's not really such a bad thing. Trion has a pretty big community on Rift as far as I know and wouldn't really bet my money on Rift going free to play.
It's awesome that it does tho the fact it does it on such an userfriendly manner seems to indicate the devs are pretty confident about their core gamers supporting the system enough to generate the necessary income while bringing new sources into account.
I won't glorify any f2p conversion ofc – but if you look at this and what EA did with SWTOR then I think it's pretty apparent that Trion isn't so aggressive on the matter which is a big thumbs up in my book.
It was the community that brought the change on.Trion does surveys and reads their forums all the time and the players wanted it to go f2p.And the fact the mmo market is going f2p one game at a time it's either adapt now while you have a strong community(which Rift has) or try and do it when the community is dead and close up.In fact having played Rift and WoW I prefer Rift's community every time.I'm just hoping the WoW trolls don't all jump on rift after it converts,cause i hate having to add people to my ignore list.For those that never played Rift and join on june 12th don't be afraid to look up me or any member of the horde on faeblight.(yeah I know the guild name is taken from WoW but I didn't name the guild that.)
You don't want to try Defiance "trust me".
every online game will close some day but this one go f2p because of marketing reasons – title just brings more profit that way
This is good news, I wonder what brought this on? I hope they find a way to make Defiance F2P.
I said the same thing and actully cuz the sales on it weren't going pretty good latley I think they have a chance to make the f2p model better but I think that's new for Trion worlds =)
This gives us a lot of hope that archage could also get f2p when its released !
Can't waif to check Rift out 🙂
Cya in game
Indeed! If Archage comes F2P (or even B2P would be good enough) that would be awesome.

I am a very social player and like games that makes you play together not only for pvp that requires coordination and map awareness + communication but also in pve , and this game makes it fun to complete quest with people you don't know, especially participating in world events ( my favorites).
I salute the initiative to make the game ftp , myself will definitely play it again. If you wanna play a game in that you don't feel like you play alone, but you know its an mmo and interaction with other players its low, and you want to play a good social game also, this is it, see you in the game , respect.
R.I.P. another good game gone. Let's hope the F2P model doesn't completely destroy this game.
don't make it feel sad =) anyone know how big is it
Kill yourself…
I think you got it wrong :/
I think i got it right. Give the F2P model some credit, too many people asume it will ruin everything before they even try it. This Zalor is one of those.
Not a must what if Rift did it right and became like aion and tera ?
oh and well yeah I don't think the sales went so good latley for it I think they have the chance to make the f2p model better
So obvious ?
try 2 troll better next time..
Wait I am trolling -.- ? never knew that … oh am I good at it ? Well yeah no I wasnt even trolling ….
u don't get it – that was answer 2 another post
Say that to the Tera, Aion and SWToR publishers. After those games went into the F2P model, they doubled theyre playerbase. I think Rift will get a great renewal and I'll be one of the new players for sure.
Finally I love this game now i dont have to pay (didnt pay for it even if i like it)
OMG !! wasn't excpecting that AT all well I think that was because the sales of it weren't going good latley … I think
Not really,they had a steady 2 mil subs,with people still buying it.But Trion sees how the mmo industry is shifting to f2p.So they are adapting.And unlike what bioware did with swtor,Trion isn't putting huge restrictions on the game.Yeah if you want more then 2 character slots you have to buy themunless you already owned rift i which case you will have 6 with theoption to buy more.And that's even if you decide to not subscribe any more and just go f2p(you could learn from this bioware.).Your exp gain won't be nerfed like in swtor if your f2p.No loot restrictions,no content restrictions(again bioware you could learn from this.)And from what i read on Trion's site the cash shop will be mostly cosmetic items,some mounts and boost(once more bioware the boost won't be required to gain normal xp).When you look at it Trion is trying to avoid every mistake bioware made,good news BW you guys have become the cautionary tale for f2p devs on how not to screw your players over.
Rift never had 2 mill subs. Subs also fell to around 150-200k.
i agree with you dude, bioware DID do all that but i play swtor and while it looks absolutely horrid on paper its a bit better if you try it, im not tryin to attract any haters or anythin, just puttin it out there but i do agree with the steps trion is taking
Finally, After paying the game subscription through steam and not working.
I hope i can still get my pre-purchase items.
FINALLY! i've been hoping they would make this free!
Not so free bro just up to lvl 20 -_-
It is not just up o lv 20. Did you watch the video?
"Every piece of the game is just available".
"No trials".
"No trials. No tricks. No traps.
Our free-to-play model is built on a simple idea: everyone can download, log in, and play all of RIFT, free. Starting June 12, new players will have access to all game content – from dungeons and Warfronts to the latest raids – with no level restrictions."
except for the Storm Legion Expansion souls… That means that if they become overpowered, f2p players will have to pay to use them
And? You pay a one time fee for Storm Legion and continue to play for free. 4 months playing for free pays for Storm Legion on its own.
I was lucky got copy free from Raptr contest
пикольно, что эта игра наконец-то перешла на F2P!
English. Use English.
come on… really… english is not the only language people can talk !
tHEN CAN YOU SPEAK RUSSIAN for ME PLZZ!!???
pikol′no that this game has finally shifted to F2P!
-your translation from Russian into English-
But English is a universal language.
Not really.
Actually English is the universal trade language.
Its a English forum so it would only be a given to speak English.
Stupid Americans. I can't believe I'm one of them.
Ya'll speak whatever language you wanna speak! I don't care if this is "an English Forum". What tools…
It's called the WORLDWIDE WEB. That means WORLDWIDE. America isn't that big, r-tards.
"Lol- you must speak English! I hate foreigners!!!"
God, I hate idiots/tools/choads/you.

OK, a month or so back now my iPhone got wet and stopped working. And, with Apple being the greed driven corporate giants they are there was never any doubt that I wouldn't bother getting a new iPhone. At least not at the price those vultures were asking anyway. Instead, I opted to use my old and barely functioning Sony smart phone that was now some five years old. It was good enough to make a call or send a text. Perfect.
Just on two weeks ago now Mrs Bunny decided to wash my clothes without checking the pockets. Yep, you guessed it. My Sony went into the machine for a jolly good bath! Ooops…..
So where to next?
There was a third option of course. My little Samsung that allows you to call, text and well, not much else. A week on and I have to say I am loving it in every way. In fact I hardly even take it with me when I pop out. No real need. I hardly call people and people hardly call me and i'm not to keen on holding marathon 3 hour texting conversations of benign drivel either. I guess you could call this latest move a win on every level.
Life without a beloved erm, smart phone is heaven. I've had one for the past half decade and well, I've become too comfortable with the idea of them. The damn things follow you everywhere. They go to bed with you, they hop on the bus to work with you and then, they sometimes follow you into the toilet. Yuck! Why do we have these things again??????
Now, let me share with you a little experience that I encountered yesterday afternoon.
Following my match I was perched on a seat at Grovely train station awaiting my train home. At around 3:26 pm two young girls, both blonde and wearing not much in the way of clothing approached the ticket machine with great trepidation on the other side of the platform. Both of them were in need of funds on their GoCard, which, for those of you that have lived under a rock in recent years is a travel card that allows a quick entry and exit from public transport.
Some four minutes later and the girls are still there. It would normally take any decent person perhaps 2 minutes at most for top up their GoCard. Not these two peroxided barbie dolls. Four minutes in and the first of our double act had yet to finalise her transaction. They giggled and bobbled their way through the process, constantly turning to the two young men behind them to apologise. Perhaps, like all daft barbie dolls in our world they assume a smile will get them everywhere? Unless of course, they are forced to use technology that doesn't include a smart phone.
Let us fast forward to 3: 35 pm. Some nine minutes on and the second girl is finally touching off her GoCard! How did it takes these two special creatures so long, nine minutes in fact to perform perhaps the most simple task of their day? I guess, in part we can put it down to the smart hone generation of the modern world. If they don't know something they google it. And when they can't refer to their smart phone for help they are lost in the bubble of "what do we do now?"
Look, i'm sure they have benefits that can be useful, though smart phones are not smart at all. What they are doing is dumbing our society down to incredible new lows. People are struggling to think for themselves. Hell, we can't even go to sleep now without having a smart phone beside us at night. You know, just in case you wake up at 2:39 am and want to waste an hour or two on Facebook or Twitter.
I may or may not venture into the world of smart phones down the track. for now however, I am happy to step back in time and continue using my little Samsung number. It performs the basic functions and really, that's all I need at the end of the day. I don't like the idea of technology thinking for me. Do you?
From now on I think I will refer to these phones as dumb phones. After all, as human being we really aren't that clever when lobbed with a dumb phone at our side 24/7 are we?

Support: Isle
I like a lot of music styles. At least I think I do. Then again, most people that say they have an eclectic taste in music...really don't. The gigs I go to usually involve loud guitars and over long drum solos. Ladyhawke (Pip Brown) definitely doesn't fit into that category. She ain't no Whitesnake. There are similarities though. Both have dodgy hairstyles and wear clothes that were stylish in 1976. Both like a good harmony and both seem to love what they do. The similarities end there though.
Ladyhawke has been on the music scene for a decade now and in that time has released three very good albums. Three very good electronic / synth albums. The set list is mainly made up of songs from her debut and latest albums with second album, Anxiety, barely getting a look in. Main set closer (and my fave track) Paris is Burning is definitely a highlight for me but the set is littered with standout moments. At times however the sound seems a little weak but thankfully, for most of the night, the wall of sound is hugely impressive.
The New Zealander has made three great records. Her last album (2016's Wild Things) has been on heavy rotation in my house for some time and the title track is another highlight here. In truth I'm not sure this type of music, in the live setting, it is entirely my thing. At times I was a little bored (but think that may just be me). It doesn't help that there is very little crowd interaction but Brown still comes across well and hey she has one of the best mic stand setups I have ever seen.
She may not be a natural front woman but it really is impossible not to like her. She doesn't always look comfortable on stage and at one point I felt like getting up and giving her a big hug. Probably not a good idea though...not after last time. She has had struggles in the past but it seems she is enjoying life now and that does come across on stage. She seems genuinely overwhelmed at the response tonight.
The crowd in Camden is an interesting mix of drunk Aussies, excitable Kiwis and curious Londoners. After last song, and her biggest hit to date, My Delirium, the venue empties and everyone has a beaming smile on their faces. Electronic music may not be my number one genre of music but there is no denying the uplifting feeling in Koko. See you next time.

PARC Retirement Living was very pleased to present sponsorship cheques recently to two Burnaby associations whose efforts and values are well aligned with PARC's.
On Tuesday, July 21st, Mulberry PARC's General Manager, Jerilyn Lee, was very proud to present a $12,000 cheque to the Seniors Active in Living program at Confederation Community Centre of Burnaby, BC. Then on Wednesday, July 22nd, she presented an $11,000 cheque on behalf of PARC Retirement Living to the executive and administration of Edmonds Health Watch also in Burnaby, BC.
Both programs, Edmonds Health Watch and Seniors Active in Living, are weekly wellness programs that provide seniors 55 and over with exercise programs and services like blood pressure monitoring, therapeutic touch, massage, eyeglass services and foot care. There are also health information presentations with guest speakers.

From left to right:
Liz Fedigan, Health Watch (HW) recording secretary, Jerilyn Lee, GM Mulberry PARC, Jody Urquhart, HW treasurer, Marie Pranter, HW president and Gerry Hurst, HW records and administration .
All three groups have an active interest in furthering and promoting the health and wellness of those 55 and older who are enthusiastic participants in active aging. This financial assistance provided by PARC for the programs can result in more years of independent living and a better overall state of health for those who attend.

I've just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 8.1 at the same time I upgraded Lightroom from 3.6 to 5.3. Everything seems to transfer OK, but when I reject a photo and seek to "Delete from Disk," Lightroom responds with "... files that could not be move to the Recycle Bin." I've check and my Recycle Bin is set up and empty. I haven't found a setting in Windows or Lightroom that solves the problem.

Morgana Finishing for the Commonwealth
The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 53 independent countries. It is home to 2.2 billion citizens and over 60% of these are under the age of 30. The Commonwealth includes some of the world's largest, smallest, richest and poorest countries, spanning five regions. Thirty-two of its members are small states, including many island nations.
Like every organisation, the Commonwealth Secretariat, based in Pall Mall, London, is a significant producer of print, and as such has its own Printing Section within the Corporate Services Division.
The Brief
Workload for the printing division comprises a wide range of jobs typical for such an in-house operation. Stationery needs are always there, but the vast majority of work for the department centres around report production. "Run lengths of up to 250 / 300 copies are our forte," confirms Lesley Peak, Interim Design & Production Supervisor for the Printing Section. "That is ideal for digital, and we do try to keep them below that if possible: we are keen to print on demand, which is so easy with digital printers," she adds.
With many of the reports produced destined for overseas markets the Secretariat is keen to utilise digital technology wherever possible. "The e-mailing of PDF versions of reports is used wherever appropriate. However, Internet capabilities are less sophisticated in some commonwealth countries. The e-mail solution certainly doesn't suit everybody, but that illustrates perfectly that there is still a great need for print." Where demand dictates print runs in excess of 250 copies litho printers are sourced in order to produce the work at the most cost-effective fashion.
Digital printing equipment provides for document production; for post-press activities Morgana Systems has installed a wide range of products.
Why the reliance on Morgana? Lesley Peak is just one year into the role and therefore has only historical information to draw upon, however, this indicates previous rental of much of the Morgana post-press equipment. The products had proved so reliable and hard working that a decision was taken to purchase the equipment outright. Whilst the procurement process did necessitate the viewing of other similar machinery, nothing was found as a realistic alternative to the products provided by Morgana Systems.
The Solution
Even with such a wide range of equipment in use, it is of little surprise that the guillotine comes top with regard to the product that gets most use. "No finishing department can function properly without an efficient and effective guillotine. It comes into play on so many jobs. It is an essential item," says Lesley. The organisation uses an EBA 551 programmable guillotine provided by Morgana.
That said, with a regular demand for business cards amounting to at least ten or twelve orders per week, the CardXtra device – an automated business card cutter – is another invaluable addition to the equipment line-up. "The CardXtra makes trimming business cards an automatic job rather than a very dreary manual activity. It replaces a significant number of cuts on the guillotine with one straightforward process, and the cards produced are perfect ever time," adds Lesley. CardXtra, only from Morgana, offers the ultimate SRA3+ business card and document automated

Here's an opening prayer inspired by 1 Samuel 3:1-10, one of the suggested scripture readings for the second Sunday after Epiphany, Year B. It was written by Mike Elliott, and posted on thisischurch.
(inspired by 1 Samuel 3:1-10)
Heavenly Father,
creator of a universe full of wonder
and many still-hidden mysteries.
Help us in our modern, sometimes confusing
and fast changing world
to pause and reflect on your glory and unending grace
and in the stillness to listen, like Samuel,
for your voice speaking to us alone.

Course Breakdown
Part 1 - Hardware & Analog
Class 1
Analog electronics and learn to solder - This week we will learn to solder by building an audio oscillator and have a look at some of the basic electronics components normally found in audio and video electronics. The oscillator you build, which is yours to take home, can be used to generate a sine wave audio signal
Class 2
LEDs/Arduino - want to incorporate LEDs into your project? This week we will look at how to make blinking or fading LEDs using an Arduino, and how to change the colour of RGB LEDs. We will do some basic programming and look at how to incorporate sensors and rechargeable batteries for portable projects. We'll also have a quick look at other boards out there besides Arduino such as the Raspberry Pi & Teensy that can be used for projects with different requirements.
Part 2 - Software & Coding
Class 4
Pure Data & Patchblocks - Pure Data and Patchblocks are object orientated programming environments that utilise code in user friendly blocks, that can then be linked together and dragged around to create a "patch", or a finished program of code. Patches can be as simple or complex as you like and can perform a few or many different functions.
Class 4
Processing - Processing is a java-based programming environment that makes it very easy to interact with your webcam, Arduino, or the keyboard and mouse. You can create shapes and colors, and manipulate images and video; you can also create sounds and manipulate sound files. You will learn basic programming skills.
Learning Resources (all weeks) - Each week everyone will get all the files, code, patches, etc that we've been looking at in each workshop to take home and use again.
Claudine Chen earned her electronics chops getting her applied physics Ph.D., and expanded to creative coding as a student of the School of Machines, Making, and Make-Believe in Berlin. She exhibited the collaboration Alternative Soundtrack as part of the Lacuna Lab Activation exhibition at Spektrum in Berlin in 2016. She helped found Science Hack Day Berlin in 2013.
Andy Wilson is currently working as an electronic instrument designer for www.patchblocks.com, developing a new interactive audio platform for the next generation of music makers. He also recently worked for 2 years with www.maker.ie developing open source DIY audio products and delivering DIY electronics workshops, and in the past year in the past year has exhibited work at audio industry events in Dublin, Berlin and London.

When talking to other people I detect that chickpeas are virtually universally the most pop of all legumes. And it's petty wonder — non alone are they pleasantly mild plenty to conjoin good amongst virtually whatever variety of vegetable too hot or sour spicing, but their buttery too slightly sweetness season are a please yesteryear all yesteryear themselves. I know I ever detect myself snacking on them earlier combining my cooked chickpeas amongst other ingredients, too a friend of mine oftentimes cooks them upwards but to swallow yesteryear themselves amongst a petty salt.
Of course, if the natural "buttery-ness" of chickpeas is alone enhanced yesteryear the improver of a petty extra butter, thence they volition live on made beautiful amongst lemon too garlic. These really easy-to-make buttery lemon-garlic chickpeas are quite delicious on their ain equally a uncomplicated medley of naturally complementary flavors, but sitting on a bed of sautéed kale too served amongst rice they operate a really elegant too nutritious dinner, rich non alone inwards calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, obese acids, too B too C vitamins from chickpeas but likewise inwards the calcium, Fe too carotenoids inwards kale.
