GLOUCESTER COUNTY— A special candle light vigil was held to honor the lives of the 26 people killed in Connecticut.
"To have little kids taken away, we had to do something." Amy Morgan was one of many to attend the memorial at the Gloucester Library. "It's horrible to think that you put your child on a school bus or your drop them off and give them a kiss and tell them you'll see them in a little while, and you never see them again."
Families came together to pray for the community of Newtown, where a gunman opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary school. Twenty children and six adults were killed.
Tracy Haywood helped organize the vigil. "We feel their pain and obviously their children hear us. As we stand here we are getting rained on; so this is their tears from heaven."

Box Office: The Weak Roar Of The Jesus-Lion
Jun Sato / WireImage/Getty Images
Gee, I was way off with my box office predictions this time around. Perhaps it's all the unbridled Indiana Jones anticipation in the air that's making me crazy, thinking that a PG Tolkien derivative was going to bust out $100 million at the U.S. box office. If you cut that roughly in half, you get the $56.6 million estimated weekend for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which most analysts had pegged at around $80 million. The first installment made $65 million. Ouch.
In retrospect this makes sense. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a much-beloved tale, but the rest of the allegorically rich C.S. Lewis Narnia stories have never been nearly as popular. This entry is supposedly more of a straight-up fantasy adventure, losing much of the Christian overtones of the original (even though the first film toned down the deafening Christian allegory of the source novel). The trailers haven't been that exciting either – it looks like more of the same, with more handsomely staged battle sequences. Plus, while Hollywood likes to trump box office receipts as evidence of quality, the first film made its cash on name recognition and a paucity of good family fare for the holidays, not necessarily on hot buzz for Lion. It was pretty dumb to open this in the summer.
Iron Man continued its strong performance in second place with an impressive $31.2 million estimate. That puts the metallurgy documentary at an excellent $222 million. It now has an outside chance of breaking $300 million, something no one expected a month ago. Speed Racer continues as one of the biggest mega-budget bombs of all time, falling nearly 60% to roughly $7 million. International receipts have been pathetic as well. At this point, the film might not even break $100 million worldwide. The Wachowskis are going to have difficulty getting their fetishist pet projects (in this case it was CARS CARS CARS) off the ground at Warner, which gave them whatever they wanted for Racer after the phenomenal success of the Matrix films.

- Students: He likes her!
- Me: Now they are around 11 or 12 and he grabs her arm and wrestles her to the ground even though she calls him a jerk and yells at him to leave her alone.
- Students: That is just how boys are.
- Me: Now they are 18 and he grabs her arm and--
- Students: Oh, that's not okay.
- Me: Really? How would he know? How would she know? How would you know? You just told me that for the first 17 years of these children's lives that you thought it was cute, sweet, and natural for a boy to grab a girl and be rough with her.
- Students: Oh.
- Me: Oh, is right.

Sri Lanka Cricket Quotes
"In cricket it is foolish to even think of fighting India. You may not like it, but that's the reality."Sanath Jayasuriya [Source]
Submitted by Gavin
"I can't say enough about the group of players that I've worked with. I'll have the fondest memories. It's a very sad time for me to be leaving them. It's been very, very special for me. I've coached a lot of teams but this group of players stand out as being absolutely fantastic. It's pretty tough as far as that's concerned. I will sit at home for many years to come thinking about the great players and great people who I've worked with in Sri Lanka."Graham Ford [Source]
Submitted by Dias
"[Mahela Jayawardene] batted well and concentrated hard despite his injury. It was a chanceless knock and we tried everything to get him. He is such a great batsman that, when he is in full flow, it is difficult to stop him."Mohammad Akram (Pakistan bowling coach) [Source]
"With the stitches I had some injections initially yesterday, but I was given some ointment, which is a bit of a painkiller itself plus lots of panadol, which I took roughly at every four hour intervals."Mahela Jayawardena [Source]
"To win against Sri Lanka, the team I coached for six years, my country of birth, would be great and I am keen on doing well against them. Some of them (players) are very good friends but when I enter the field we are enemies, so I am keen to finish the stint with a win."Dav Whatmore [Source]
"This was the first Test I played in 12 months. The last one was against Australia. This year, there are only five or six Tests remaining. I've said before that I don't have a plan for the long term. I have short-term goals about how I should play and how I can contribute to the team. When you get to this stage in your cricketing career, it's not easy to have long-term targets."Mahela Jayawardena [Source]
"I hope that I have justified my place in the team. It was quite disappointing at times when I had not gone on to build on my 50s and it was good to [score my second Test century]. Hopefully, I can continue."Angelo Mathews [Source]
Submitted by Che
"We haven't consistently played [Test cricket of late]. I remember when I came into the side, and until two-three years later, we were playing at least 10-12 Tests a year. That's why I've played so many Tests in my career until now. But, unfortunately, the younger guys haven't had that opportunity, so on a development scale, we need to look at seriously playing a minimum 8-10 Test matches a year. "Mahela Jayawardene [Source]
"Sri Lanka Cricket is not a profit making institute. We are supposed to develop cricket."Nishantha Ranatunga [Source]
Submitted by Gavin
"Yes, we fell short by a few runs, but it was very pleasing to see the guys fighting till the end. The effort that Prasanna and Senanayake put, it was unbelievable. They nearly got us through. So very pleased with the way they batted."Angelo Mathews [Source]
"The bowlers may retire very soon on such wickets."Angelo Mathews [Source]
Submitted by RPG
"It's a bit of a change in mentality and technique. Finding new aspects to your game is a very necessary thing to do. What you viewed as risky before - you need to change that attitude and really embrace the change. Technically you have to adjust very slightly, to try and open up those areas to score in. Maybe you have to alter your stance and move around the crease a bit more and find different ways to impart touch or find another way to get power into the ball. There are various ways you can do it, but you can't suddenly open up all areas and score differently, you need to have a solid base and build an innings before you can exploit that new kind of shot-making. As a side we've embraced that philosophy under Graham [Ford], and it's been really good."Kumar Sangakkara [Source]

Yeah, no kudos from me either. Logging in at work (graveyard) , where I'd been logging in at least to check my auctions every weekend for several months, got me this stupid message. Reset my password 3 times before I gave up, their system is a great idea implemented poorly. Especially since not only was I blocked from the same IP and at the same time as was regular, I WASN'T blocked when I logged in at an odd time when I went on vacation over a hundred miles from home.

Big news stories mean we suddenly see lots of interactive graphics and multimedia objects popping up everywhere — informational tools that help people explore, process, and distill the details about the events. This week's Osama bin Laden news was no different.
Within 24 hours of the raid on bin Laden's compound, dozens of interactive packages—illustrations, maps, graphic, video and timelines — were designed and published.
It's always a great learning experience to pull together and review multiple projects covering a single event or story. Overall, the examples are similar in tone and style. Well, almost all of them.
For me, one stood out from the rest.
Check out this comic book, napkin sketch design that details the sequence of events.
View the interactive graphic project
We've had some great discussions on using comic themes for course designs. And Tom also blogged about designing the right look and feel for your courses earlier this week.
So what do you think? Was this comic design the right look and feel for the topic?
Compare it with Cathy Moore's graphic novel theme in Connect with Haji Kamal. Both projects are similar in their use of sketchy, hand-drawn elements. In the forums, Cathy described her course design as "edgy," and notes that "it makes clear that the topic is serious." Is the UOL interactive equally edgy and serious?
Here are a few more questions I'm toying with as I view the project.
Is this an appropriate design for the seriousness of the story? It's reported the attack was planned and rehearsed for months. Does the comic style emphasize the precision of the attack or the chaos of the moment? Both?
Does it matter when the project was produced? If the project were sketched hours after the event, would it be any more or less appropriate than if it were produced two days later?
Finally, what types of guidelines or standards do you use when designing new or custom course designs? How do you know when a design theme is too much? Add your comments below or start a new forum discussion.

I think the quickly sketched drawing style is appropriate given the fact that the details are still coming out. The style also makes it somewhat more forgivable that details in the pictures don't jibe with the most recent version of events. The human quality of a handmade drawing also heightens the emotional component more than do the perfect computer-generated images of other interactives.
I'd like to clarify that my client, Kinection, came up with the graphic novel look for Haji Kamal. It was based on a graphic novel style they had used with great success on a previous course for police officers.
Even though these examples deal with serious military topics, I think that a non-cartoony illustration style would also work with more common business topics.

From the url, it appears the graphic was published 110503 making it roughly two days after the event, but I don't think time matters. I see it as a deliberate design decision.
Slides 6 and 8 are appear less objective than interpretive. Do we know what the facial expressions were when the troops came in?
The camera perspective on Slide 6 is from Bin Laden's view, not the troops. Guns pointing at me is intimidating. Notice how Bin Laden's hands are up, surrendering and women are running from the guns. Feels biased in that regard.
I agree the sketchy aspect works. It's something we don't have all the details on and it's certainly a contrast from the average course.

I will attempt to answer your questions in the sequence asked:
The design fits appropriately for the seriousness of the event (story). The emotion would not be as dramatic if it were designed after Sponge Bob Square Pants!
As for the style representing the precision of the attach or if it represented a more chaotic approach is subjective. To your point, this was sketched based on the 'at-the-moment' information of what the media has shared. Anyone who has a remote understanding of the available details can immediately relate the drawings to the stories we have all heard in the media. I probably would have drawn these same sketches based on the perception of what I know the story to be currently.
The timing of this being released is 'probably' more effective a day or two later. Too early and the community (world at large in this case) is still caught up in the "moment" even if that moment lasts for a day. Too late and the risk of another story of the same or greater magnitude will surface taking the steam out of it. Think of William and Kate's royal wedding just last Friday. A forgotten story by Monday morning. Would a series of sketches telling the story of the royal wedding have any more or less of value if it were released Monday morning after this story broke? Timing is everything.
What I like about these drawings the most is the mere sketchy style of charcoal/graphite. That style suggests quick, fast thoughts which the artist is trying to convey with a story about a military commando raid.
The storytelling is a great example of sequential art and the sequence of events (as the artist knew them). The map first, then the aerial shot of the compound, and finally a closer look over the wall of the compound builds the anticipation that "we're going in." Next we see the commandos rappelling out of helicopters while taking on ground fire. An explosion. The actual assault on Osama. The aftermath. Then...the closure.
These drawings look & feel like an animation studio's storyboard wall, too!
Thanks for sharing David. I think this may be the only place in the world that has a discussion around how the 'story' is told rather than event itself! :)

I'll agree with Tom, I think the purpose of the series was to provide an interpretive illustration.
I think this style is fine for its apparent purpose but I'm left thinking there might be a more better way to illustrate the events. I wonder, in this case, how much value this adds over the text narrative. I wonder what the illustrator wanted to provide the sense of? Was it a sense of time, space, urgency... What was the illustrator trying to convey? Was it a simple illustration of key events?
For me, a more simple single infographic with some time indicators and action detail callouts would have provided stronger engagement. Regardless of illustration style or the license taken with the illustration (I also agree that there seems to be some sense of bias in the frame shown), an illustration should give you a sense of something and evoke a response.
The gravity wasn't there for me with these pieces. But I don't think it's the style of art that removed the gravity. I think in part it's my own style and sensibilities that counteract that field of engagement.
From a style evaluation standpoint I think this rapid sketch illustration is potentially very powerful. There's an argument in favor of less sophisticated media providing as much punch in select cases (note I didn't say all cases:)) as a polished piece. This factor is worth exploring.
Posted Thursday, May 05, 2011 at 11:49 AM
First, Steve offers an interesting idea I wouldn't have thought. A simple infographic would have provided a stronger engagement for him. If not for asking you to draw one, I'd be interested in seeing that ;)
Secondly, let's not miss what David was asking. His question about comic styles in learning and whether or not this style fit this story. Not so much about analyzing the artist and how he/she interpreted the story.
Aside from what we know and the contradictory media coverage now surfacing, or trying to analyze what the artist was thinking has zero to do with style the artist chose to convey the story. Bias or not, a commando raid in the middle of the night busting through a door, shooting, and asking questions later is...well, a commando raid. The angle, positioning of the characters, point of view, etc. is an effect to help carry the story to its climax. Which I think the artist did.
I'll agree its speculative, but he/she could have drawn that scene from an angle that we, the viewer were looking down the barrel of the weapon, with an Osama character and his alleged wife lying in bed asleep being shot in the back of the head. My point here is at the time of this drawing all we knew was Osama was killed with a head shot. Would my perception of that be any more or less bias if drawn at a different angle? Would it still tell the story? The 'content' was what it was at that time. The 'context' in which the artist drew it was choice.
Emotion aside: Did *this* style fit *this* story and would the timing of its release make a difference?
Posted Thursday, May 05, 2011 at 12:19 PM
My comment was more "eye of the beholder" than trying to figure out what the artist was thinking. I think there are multiple touch points whenever a style of communication comes into play. One touch point is the field of engagement of the viewer / audience. In my case, this didn't do much for me in this context. That's not to say it wouldn't with a different execution or in a different context. So, for me, the style didn't fit this story regardless of timing. But I'm more than a little strange:)
But that's my style at play. I'm aligned more to the data elements of the events and interesting story points (some of which may have nothing to do with the bracketed event) than to the emotional nature of intense context. In this case it could have something to do with a lack of emotional connection to the event. An incompetent well-off old dude with a grudge against my country living in a cave half a world away never scared me. Maybe personal investment is a factor in emotional response (my attempt to analyze the impact / suitability of a style without emotion:P)

I havent seen anyone mention how the first example sort of looks like Family Circus gone horribly wrong. Anyone?
Does the illustration suit the subject matter? I'd say no. It conveys the placement of people, and roughly how the raid took place, but it simply didn't feel right. My mind was torn between the familiarity of Sunday comics, and the depiction of a horrorific, real-life event. I would have been happier with stick figures, personally.
The graphic novel approach is much more suited to the serious nature of the content.

Wow and thanks for the really great comments!
@Cathy - I mentioned your course because it's one of few projects I know has a loosely similar style. I agree the organic nature of the drawings give it a more human feel. But unlike Haji Kamal's softer, hand-drawn style, this one seems to have a more agitating edge about it. Could it create learner fatigue in longer projects?
@Tom - Good points on the perspective and details of the graphics. I hadn't noticed bin Laden in the corner when I first posted.
@Kevin - "What I like about these drawings the most is the mere sketchy style of charcoal/graphite. That style suggests quick, fast thoughts which the artist is trying to convey with a story about a military commando raid."
That's definitely a benefit from drawing one's own graphics rather than forcing stock photos to tell a story. Great point!
How do you think that would transfer to instruction or less emotional content? Maybe it doesn't make a difference.
@Steve - Right! There is a court-room sketch look that almost creates a sense of judgment or bias rather than reporting. Maybe that's what prompted me to question the style in the first place.
Posted Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 5:16 AM
@Dana - "My mind was torn between the familiarity of Sunday comics, and the depiction of a horrific, real-life event."
That comment and Family Circus reference really stayed with me yesterday. They also helped me with this handwriting font example:
While similar, each has its own voice and personality. I think that's one of the things that makes this project so interesting.
Would a softer pencil style make any difference? What about water colors?

This is a great post! I think that there is sometimes a misconception that comics = childish. Anyone who thinks that needs to read either of the following books by Scott McCloud - 'Making Comics' and 'Understanding Comics'. He provides a really intelligent explanation of the importance of framing, the use of words, story flow and (really interesting) the importance of the gutter (the space between images) that allows the reader's imagination to fill in the gaps. There's some really great stuff in these books to assist learning designers.
Posted Saturday, June 11, 2011 at 7:34 PM
Great book recommendation Sam. I know a lot of folks speak highly of Understanding Comics. One thing I particularly like is the emphasis on readability. Considering most comics are both text-heavy and read-only formats, it's amazing how well they control the reader's eyes. Understanding Comics and general comic book design is essential reading for anyone looking to design better courses.

Here's something I created recently in "Comic Book" format - which was a piece of work required for a course.
It's a short overview of the "ARCS" model for instructional design.
I appreciate it is linear, however, it seemed an interesting and appropriate way to create the course, bearing in mind that ARCS is partly about how you stimulate learner interest and motivation.

great post although sometimes I feel a little bit strange about these severe events described in such an "easy" style.
However, seeing your post on the earthquake strips and the story "the boy who lived" this really touched me deep inside. What sacrifice! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Butterscotch Schnapps Apple Pie
This image courtesy of pixiwishesforeheadkisses.com
From the flaky pastry crust to the sweet apple filling, you will love every bite of Butterscotch Schnapps Apple Pie. This is the perfect apple pie recipe because it incorporates a more traditional apple pie flavor with a bit of extra butterscotch sweetness. As they bake, the apple wedges soak up the butterscotch schnapps and soften perfectly. Because the pie bakes for about a half hour, the alcohol burns off, leaving a delightful caramel flavor that infuses every part of the pie.

Nuun announced their Hood to Coast Team. I had applied and was holding my breath anxiously waiting to see if I was going to be part of the fun. Once Tuesday rolled around you would've thought I was back in high school waiting to find out if I made the Cheer leading squad (which I did). I was all set...at 2:00 I was going to find out. Then it happened...someone had the audacity to schedule a meeting from 2 - 2:30. SERIOUSLY! They obviously didn't know. So I had to wait. At 2:30, when I went to the Nuun Blog, there I saw it. My name on the list. I'm an alternate but who cares!?
What's also cool is that I have gotten an email from the CEO of Nuun personally congratulating me for making the team. It's not just one of those form emails. This one was legit. Turns out he's a STL native which is awesome; however, he's a cubs fan, which is not so awesome. Either way though, this company stands behind their product and it shows. GO NUUN!
OK NEXT big event of the week. My husbands birthday. We have been married for almost 4 years now and I love him so much. For his birthday I bought him St. Louis Blues playoff tickets for tonight. We're both so excited!

Aww, no, it's fine! Uhm, it could happen, but I gotta find a proper one.
Also: I'm such an annoying perfectionist that it won't be done and published till it looks absolutely real and perfect, so it will probably take a long, long time.
Thank you, that's so nice!
Uhm, you mean another one? Have you got anything in mind? I honestly haven't got anything in the works, but if inspiration strikes, I surely will.

When You Go, Just Know That I Will Remember You.3 Reviews
In loving memory of...
"Not too late in the day for toast?" I shook my head, smiling. "It's never too late for toast." He moved closer and planted a kiss on my warm cheek. I buttered our toast with jam and butter. "Yummy." He said cheerfully and sat down at the table. "Oooh, Gee, can we go have breakfast in bed?" He raised an eyebrow. "Why?" It wasn't a question born from suspicion, it was playful. So I played along. "Cause bed is clearly the best place to be. Duh." He stood up and took the plate from me "Ah, but tables are also fun." I walked around him, stood and faced the opposite direction. "How so?" I scoffed. Suddenly his hand was on my waist, turning me around and pushing me onto the table, so I was laying with my legs dangling over the sides. "I see." I said, giggling. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him closer. He picked up the toast and dangled it over my head. I sat up and snatched it from him, both of us giggling hysterically. I fed him the toast, and received a sticky-jam-kiss in return. I took a nibble of the warm toast myself. Gerard looked up and smiled, and I turned around to see Mikey standing in the doorway.
"I hope I'm not interrupting." He said coldly. I reclaimed my legs and jumped off the table. "Not at all, Mikes." said Gerard. "We were just about to head upstairs anyway, the kitchen is yours!" I avoided eye contact with Mikey, just looked down at my feet until me and Gee were safely on the stairs. When I looked at him I was afraid the guilt would be written all over my face, a cryptic message in bright red letters… But all he did was wrinkle his nose up and sneeze at me. "Thanks, mate." I said sarcastically, wiping my face. He poked his tongue out but kept walking up the stairs.
The day continued in the playful, peaceful manner it had begun, and it was around 3pm that Gerard and I (After numerous wrestling sessions and epic pillow battles, and eating two meals in bed) both decided to have a nap before going downstairs to watch a movie. I kissed Gerard's nose and lay my head on the soft pillow, Gerard's body curled around mine like a cradle. "I love you, Gee." I said softly, my eyes already closed. I heard him faintly whisper something, and my name, before drifting into a sweet, dreamless sleep.
When I woke up, I was alone. I looked at the clock on the bedside table that told me it was 8:30. I sighed angrily. I had developed a bad habit of going to bed in the middle of the day and therefore missing out on a whole day. But it's okay, nights were much more exciting than days here. I stood up, checked myself in the mirror and walked downstairs.
The minute I saw them I knew something was wrong. Frank, Bob, Ray, sitting on the couch. Frankie, red eyed and swaying slightly, Ray, biting his nails anxiously and Bob, who looked calm in comparison, but still jumped and gasped when I walked in. "Guys, what's up?" I said nervously. I'd put it all on their hangovers, if they didn't look so damn upset.
I turned around and walked to the kitchen, then into the den. "Gerard?" I called. He'd tell me what was going on.
After a search of upstairs, I returned to the lounge room, where the guys were still sitting in a line on the couch. "Guys, please. Where's Gerard? What's wrong with you all?" It was Frankie who finally spoke up. "Gerard's gone." Was all he said. I raised an eyebrow. "Gone where? When will he be back?" I asked, panic starting to leak into my voice. "Ray?" I practically squealed. Ray stood solemnly and walked over to me slowly. "The kitchen." He said, before walking out. I followed him, sat across from him at the kitchen table. "Ray, what's happening?" I asked. He exhaled slowly and cast his eyes downwards before beginning.
"Gerard came down to the lounge, and him, me, Frankie and Mikey were all just watching TV, but then something happened to Mikey. He stood up and started yelling all this stuff at Gerard, and pulled out a gun and told us all to get out, so we did. None of us were armed, we couldn't do anything. Mikey said he needed to talk to Gee about something, and he didn't want us there. I didn't know why he needed to shoo us out at gunpoint, though. So we waited in here, there was lots of yelling, smashing and stuff, and then a shot. We all ran in, but Gee was gone. There was no trace of him, anywhere. Mikey said they'd fought, and Gee had killed himself. Frank got mad, didn't believe him. Then Bob comes up from the basement and asked what was going on, and Mikey told Bob some stupid story about how Gerard was suicidal. He said he had taken Gee's body outside for your courtesy and that he'd bury it later. But how did he get it out there so fast? Why was there no blood? I don't get it, Adrienne." He paused, before leaning in close and whispering "I think Mikey killed him."
I said nothing in reply, I just slumped back in my chair. Suicidal? Just a few hours ago Gerard was feeding me jam toast… And he was suicidal? I stood up and almost ran out to the lounge room, to grab Bob and shake him, and scream hysterically "Bob, what really happened? Where is Gerard? Did he just go out? Bob? Bob!" But Bob didn't tell me anything I wanted to hear.
"Adie, I'm sorry. He's gone." I shook my head and ran upstairs, screaming "MICHAEL WAY, WHERE ARE YOU?"
I found Mikey in my room. "Mikey, what the fuck happened? What did you do to Gerard?" I wailed, grabbing his wrists. He calmly removed himself from my grip. "Adrienne, I didn't do anything to him." He said sympathetically. "My brother was a manic depressive alcoholic. His emotions were all over the place. I've seen this coming for a while now. He left a note. Gave it to me." I sat down. "Why did you pull a gun out?" I said slowly, trying not to cry. "Well because when you were asleep, he came to me and confessed everything. I didn't know what to do until later, and I needed a way to get his attention. We talked, argued, and eventually he pulled his own gun out, and he-" I cut Mikey off by screaming until His arms encircled me and lay me down next to him. "Baby, please…" He whispered. He was trying to be sympathetic and caring, trying. I knew he didn't care his own brother was dead, I knew. But regardless I lay there with him, crying for what seemed like hours until he pushed a piece of paper into my hand. I sniffed, unfolded the paper and read it slowly.
I'm so sorry it had to end like this.
I didn't want to leave you
But I can't do this anymore.
Mikey will look after you.
I read the note, my facial expression contorting into one of complete and utter disbelief. This was not my Gerard, who lit up my days and electrified my nights. He wasn't dead, he couldn't be… I tried to think, but blurred thoughts and hazy memories flew through my head and suddenly I couldn't breathe, the air was thick around me and I couldn't see. "Mikey…" I whispered, but he didn't know… No one could… I was alone now, where would I go? What would I- I doubled over in the bed and shook, crying and coughing, choking on my own dry sobs and cursing all the time…
Mikey helped me through the worst of those horrible panic attacks, and we sat through the remains of the night and into early morning. He stood up and walked to the door, thinking of me asleep, and said softly "At least you won't have to choose anymore."
This comment never fully went through to the core word processor of my brain. I heard it, but the depth of it was forgotten in a second, the glinting malice and triumph of it unacknowledged.
I lay awake in bed, confused and alone.
Alone. Would I forever be alone now? I had no one to protect me, to comfort me. To love me…
Oh yes you do missy.
I snorted and almost spoke out loud to my own mind. Go away. Leave me alone, I thought.
You've been whinging for almost 6 months now about how you can't choose, and you love Gerard and Mikey and blah blah, and now even though Gerard is gone, you have someone willing to love you and you're going to throw that all away for your own self pity? You're pathetic, love.
I thought. At least you won't have to choose anymore were Mikey's words. Somewhere In my mind I knew that I loved Mikey and I should run straight to him, but it seemed so wrong… I would always love Gerard, and…
Mikey's been waiting so long… Don't betray him now. After all, he's lost his brother. And would you rather have him by your side protecting you, or with them, working against you?
I nodded to myself, feeling reassured. I felt like ripping myself to shreds and never leaving this bed again, I felt like dying cold and alone in these mountains. But I would keep going, for Mikey. The new centre of my universe.
I slept.
There it is, folks. Sorry if it seems a bit rushed, it is 1am after all.
I hope I didn't upset anyone, but it seems to me everyone is Pro Mikey anyway.
Expect more soon, I have no plans to sleep tonight, and besides, I have a bombshell to drop in the next chapter.
R&R, all that jazz.

Redacted text from B L O N D E S review (to be continued tomorrow…)
In the year twenty-twelve, whilst the LDR virus was infiltrating the Gagatorium and a strain of brain-drained hairy creatures moved their mouths to allow grunts about the death of guitar music to plop out, the responsibility fell to those not reaching for a noose to make a mends.
'The future is here' The Public hollered. 'It's over here… No. WAIT! Hang on… It's over here!' they guffawed while stomping their retro high-tops. They marched in unison, their machine-distressed jeans flicking back and forth… Some girls shook their beehives and guys pulled smartphones from their vintage leather jackets to take photos of people taking photos of people posing to have their photo taken. All around were giant LCD screens. Logos strobed and every so offen some words whizzed by "Welcome to the future, a place to re-enact the past where we're all just like mannequins…."
In a nearby alley, a manic man starts muttering beneath his gasps of breath about how we're all being taken for a ride back to our youth or to a re-enactment of our parents teenage years or our grandparents' heydey. He shrieks that it's because they (The Man, the mass opinion) believe we're all 'stalgia-soaked saps. They think they can push our emotional buttons with these power chords, insta-filters and all these John Hughes montages. Stuff us full of enough retro-candy and plonk us in front of a film that looks like a computer game and we'll keep feeding cash into the lightly lit slot.
The mumbling man's voice returns to the fore of my inner monologue… 'Feel free to wallow in your video games and gaze longingly at the fauxality flickering from your Google-box. Lap up what's being piped into your tablet…' He says We feel like we're loving it (lovin' it, lovin' it, LOVIN' IT!) but you and me, gazing at Gosling in his silly jacket, we're just the thirsty wolf licking a blade, drinking the ice and killing ourselves as we bleed to death (or at least bleeding off the edge of the never-ending page, scrolling endlessly, flicking our fingers and flinging our mouses, all in the name of discovery and upgrading ourselves). This is not about Ryan Gosling but I'm not saying life should in any way resemble a Downton dress rehearsal neither…I'm no moaner worried about The Power being unfairly distributed (or diluted by the whirring wonders of modern technology). This isn't some diatribe about what 'they' think is good, and what we believe to be better, no, no, no (when it's really yeah-yeh-yeah-yeah), these words are tumbling forth because i believe we're increasingly finding ourselves in a time and a place, with no definition. Giant landmark events which re-write history are happening all around the world on an almost weekly basis yet it simply seems to all just zip by without becoming part of who we are. Without becoming really real, at least not until there's a biopic about it. Songs in reaction to The World can now be disseminated as soon as they're recorded but they're not… why is that? History, without a soundtrack, is that any history at all? This ever-changing torrent of information, which shape-shifts with every twist of your head and clench of your eyes, is becoming a distorted blur, a memory test, a hazy cloud of ramblings…

Last year I was slowly leveling and pretty much ignored all the holidays(except for Hallow's End, I guess I'm just weird that way). Having finally hit 80 though, I'm having a lot of fun with Brewfest, way more than I thought I would. It's not just whacking a dwarf until purples drop(though that is enjoyable, and a quick way to good gear for a fresh 80), but the whole drunken revelry thing is just plain FUN.
So much so that I was really hoping they'd extend it at least a day, if for no other reason than to make up for time lost due to that 3.2.2 snafu last week. But two extra days, I'm all for that, especially for the chance to kill Direbrew with a beer mug and a broken bottle while completely smashed. That will be a better reward than any achievement, title or even progress towards a drake.
This does, however, raise a very interesting and important question: Will the Headless Horseman/Hallow's End receive similar upgrades?

Two extra days is nice.
I'm not sure i'll take advantage of it though sadly, i've more or less given up on farming for the Kodo mount now, having killed Coren well over 150 times or so now and seeing the mount drop 3 times and have 2 of the people that won it later claim they weren't that fussed by it when the ONLY reason i go is to get it is a bit deflating. Especially since as soon as they get the mount they ofcourse stop coming to future runs thus being replaced with someone else who'll compete with me.
It would be some consolation if i got the direbrew remote but alas i've seen that go to 7 other people.
That said brewfest has got to be my favourite of all the holidays in the game as of yet.
Maybe i'll feel a bit more optimistic next year.
miss.mina.in.mtl said...
@ Rozencratz
I really feel for you. I have been luckier this year than last, as I now have the Kodo & remote. Wish we were on the same server because whether I get the Ram I really want, or not, I'll still keep running Direbrew to help friends out. It only happens once a year!
Deadly. Off. Topic. said...
I can completely understand about the kodo dropping, someone else gets it and then they don't bother to show up for the next runs. My guild leader last year did that... he suddenly stopped coming to the runs when he got his mount - on the third day in. Nice team effort there, huh. It was one of the deciding factors for me to stop running with random guild members at the time because of the 4 times the kodo dropped it went to people who were either on alts, who didn't really care about the mount but rolled for the heck of it or just paid off the high roller with 1k of gold for the mount.
@ rosencratz
I feel bad about this, but every one of my level 80's has a brewfest mount of some sort. I never rolled need on an alt, but when the kodo dropped on my hunter everyone in the group had one. When the ram dropped on my druid - no-one wanted it. On my main - my shaman - I rolled need on the kodo and won it outright.

This recipe had no taco flavor at all. The jarred pasta sauce is all wrong and it definitely needs some chili powder or cumin or something to make it taste Mexican. I like the concept, so I will probably try to rework this recipe using enchilada sauce or by cooking the chicken in taco seasoning and using canned tomatoes.

DOWNLOAD: Clams Casino - Instrumental Mixtape 2
Having scooped our album of 2011, yesterday's news that Mike Volpe had dropped another Clams Casino instrumental mixtape caused quite a stir round these parts. In addition to an instrumental version of his remix of Lana Del Rey's chart-topping 'Born To Die', the 14-track LP features contributions from hip hop's current poster boy A$AP Rocky, Canadian R&B sensation The Weeknd and long-term Clams Casino associates Lil B, Squadda B and Main Attrakionz. Upon initial listen, the mix isn't perhaps as jaw-dropping as the first volume, but it's still definitely worth checking. Daisy Ashford

The Sadness Will Ebb, The Trouble Is The Time It Will Take -David Levithan

How to deal with depression on a daily basis?
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety by a psychiatrist late last year. I have been working with this psychiatrist and one of his colleagues (a psychiatric nurse) individually on a weekly basis for three months or so now. Before this, I worked with a psychologist for four months.
I have been taking meds (Cipralex-20 mg) since January, but the overwhelming feelings of sadness are still here and on a daily basis. This is something that I have to deal with and will have to deal with for quite some time, especially since I'm just working on "being in the now" rather than exploring the past right away.
I purchased "The Woman's Comfort Book" which was recommended to me by the psychiatrist that I work with. I'm working on reading that to find good coping methods.
But, what are some other things that I can do in order to deal with feeling depressed on a daily basis?
Sorry if I didn't include that many details, I wasn't too sure what to add which is why this question is very brief. Feel free to ask me any follow up questions if required

what are some other things that I can do in order to deal with feeling depressed on a daily basis?
In my case, when the depression strikes, there's nothing that can fix it in an immediate sense. I basically just need palliative care, which means a massage from my sweetheart (if available), keeping well-fed, and waiting for sleep to take me. Until I have a sleep - whether a nap or a night's sleep - I need to just batten down the hatches and lie low. I take the day off work if possible, or go home from work if I'm already there (fortunately my employment allows for 'no questions asked' personal leave). Make no big decisions, throw nothing out. When I'm depressed, I'm not thinking straight, so I have to minimize my activities until it's passed.
Some people will suggest writing down (or typing) how you're feeling or what you're thinking. But I find that to be a rabbit hole to madness. As I said above, depression = not thinking straight. So minimizing my activities means even minimizing my thought processes.
Like you, I manage depression via therapy, and also make sure to maintain an all-round healthy lifestyle in general (physical, mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual). Therapy may take a long time to get to the bottom of the depression, so you have to take a long view of it, and understand that the day-to-day depression may be around for a while, even though you're often making progress. It doesn't mean you're getting nowhere.

"Overwhelming feelings of sadness" after four months on one steady dose of medication? Make sure your psychiatrist is aware of how bad things are. Don't settle for remembering to say "I feel like crap" when you next see him/her - bring in a filled out
or Beck Depression Inventory or
. Celexa
didn't work nearly as well for me
as Lexapro does, as an FYI. In any case, you have a right not to feel bad indefinitely.
As far as coping, it's worth it to ask to focus on coping skills for a while in therapy. My DBT therapist has interrupted the scheduled work to do
distress tolerance
exercises, for instance.
I try to make sure to take care of myself - eat basically healthy stuff, but don't deny myself something I want on the grounds I don't deserve it or it's unhealthy or whatever. Go to bed at a reasonable hour, and make sure my pillows are fluffy even though it's a bit of a pain to actually get up and fluff them. Have water at my elbow and try to keep draining it and refilling it throughout the day. Not signing up for more stuff than I can handle, and giving myself permission to flake out when it's too much. Making a special effort to be sure I'm physically comfortable - buying new socks and underwear, washing my hair with the good kind of conditioner, turning on the AC and setting it to the temperature I REALLY want it at. Above all else, taking my meds every single day, trying to leave my apartment every single day, making all my doctor's appointments, and making sure someone outside my brain knows what's happening with me, in case it gets worse. My memory stinks when I'm really depressed, so having a checklist of stuff to try has proved extremely useful. The checklist right now says something like:
- Drink some water
- Eat something you really like
- Make sure you took all your meds
- Turn off most of the lights
- Turn on the A/C
- Turn on really comforting music playlist
- Take a shower if it's been at least six hours or you're feeling gross
- Take a nap if it's been at least eight hours since you got up, and there's at least six hours before you have to sleep again.
- Tell a friend you're feeling like crap
- Go look at KittenWar and watch the funny things you have stored on your emergency YouTube channel playlist.
- It's OK to eat ice cream
I also have a list of TV episodes I can get off of Netflix that usually make me feel better - "Once More With Feeling" from Buffy, for instance. And blanket permission to go wander around on XKCD or TVTropes if I feel lousy. I wrote that stuff down in my "
wellness book
" - it's in black and white, along with uplifting quotes and the phone numbers for my treatment team.
It's also nice to talk to other people who are there now. Therapists and stuff are great, but they're kind of detached from your experience. Go to a DBSA or NAMI support group, or join a forum specifically for folks with mental illness, or something similar. MeMail me if you want specific suggestions.

It took me (literally) years before I found an antidepressant that really worked. Prior to going on the antidepressant I'm on now, I had assumed that partial remission was as good as it gets. Not so. I really, really encourage you to talk to your doctor about switching you to something else. Daily overwhelming feelings of sadness says to me that your depression is not being addressed as well as it could be.

I've been big on natural cures for a few years. I used to have depression and have never taken any prescription medication and I feel much, much better than in the past. I believe it's because of years of researching how to increase serotonin and dopamine in the brain naturally.
1) Exercise. THis one is big. THere have been several studies that have shown that consistent exercise works as well as antidepressants. It creates the serotonin and dopamine that help you feel better instead of preventing the breakdown as some antidepressants do.
2) Sunshine. 30 minutes (more if you can) of sunlight entering your eyes triggers serotonin release and helps regulate your serotonin/melatonin cycle responsible for good quality sleep (also necessary to feel good). Getting some skin exposure gets you vitamin d which is also huge with those feel-good chemicals in your brain. If you can't get sunshine, you can take 5000 IU vitamin d a day to keep up (as long as you read up on how you shouldn't be taking tablets if you also plan on sunbathing ect as there is such thing as too much vitamin d but only if you take vitamins)
3) FISH OIL I did a school report and on this and learned that enough fish oil to have 1 g of EPA helps a lot with even
treatment resistant
depression.It is safe to take with ant--depressants.
Don't over-do caffeine. it depletes feel-good chemicals.
4. Get your thyroid checked. Many women have un0diagnoised hypothyroidism or a milder form of it because of several factors including lack of iodine in modern diets.

Unless the sadness is situational (ie, a bereavement, unemployment, breakup, etc) this is not so and sounds like exactly the sort of thing that should be addressed with a meds review.

Thanks for the advice so far. I have tried risperidone and clonazepam in smaller doses in addition to the Cipralex. However, these two particular meds didn't work for me.
The psychiatrist that I'm working with knows that I am open to trying various meds until we find one that works better for me.
But so far, Cipralex has worked better than the other two drugs have. We have a review once a week where the psychiatrist asks me about how I am feeling and if I have noticed any particular side effects.

As long as we're recommending dubious vitamin treatments, apparently probiotics has been proven to mediate anxiety.

Anxiety is thought to result from the 'fight of flight' reflex manifesting itself in human behavior. Anxiety is a state of hyper-preparedness – a coping mechanism, really – which can be triggered by many side-effects of modern life. Have you discussed any of your everyday 'triggers' with any of the psychologists you've worked with? If you know what triggers your anxiety, you may be able to simply avoid situations that make you anxious. (For instance: for me, it's crowds.)

In terms of what might get you through on a daily basis, listening to music can shift your mood in the short-term. I have also found it helpful to remind myself of times when I was doing much better, sometimes with the help of old emails or photographs. When you're depressed, it can be hard to remember that there was ever a time you were happy & hopeful about the future, but recalling who you were in better times can serve as a critical reminder that you can be happy & hopeful again.
I agree that finding the right medication (or combination of medications) & dosage may take a while. Some people find the right regimen almost immediately, but it took me years to find the perfect combination. It is a bit of a crap shoot. No matter how long it takes, being a guinea pig sucks, but the end result is worth it. Keep pushing for better results, and listen to your body. In time, if you are not seeing results, you may want to consider getting a second opinion.
You mentioned you saw a psychologist for 4 months, but, if I'm reading this right, it sounds like you are not doing any type of counseling or therapy right now. If you aren't receiving counseling, I'd suggest finding a therapist. Meds on their own usually don't do the trick when recovering from a major depressive episode. Managing chronic depression and anxiety often requires medication, counseling, and then lifestyle choices/behavioral changes. It is possible, but it does take a while.
The hardest part is the lifestyle choices/behavioral changes. It requires self-care (proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, & hygiene) & a conscious decision to think about things differently. For example. taking your negative emotion or thought and reframing it in a positive way. For me, I sometimes have to take a "fake it until I make it" approach. This may sound cheesy but practicing positivity even when it feels false eventually transforms into a more hopeful mindset. I could say so much, but do not want to blather on; if you want to talk, please feel free to email me. Best of luck.

Seconding everything already mentioned in this thread. Self-care is very important.
I read a DBT (dialectical behavior therapy, usually used in treatment for borderline personality, which I don't have, but I was feeling overwhelmed and decided to just just read it) and I found it so helpful. One of the things I've learned is this mantra, which I repeat many times: "Distract, relax, cope."
It works! Give it a shot.

I have found that vitamin D supplements have helped almost as much as my antidepressants for improving my mood, especially when I can't get enough sunlight. Talk to the nurse about how much you should take.
Try to schedule a (good) friend to come take you for regular walks, swims or trips to the gym. It's harder to skip exercising if someone is standing at your door waiting to take you out.
Exercise is good for your brain and will help you sleep. Sleep will help your body.
Take care of yourself and keep looking for additional supportive reads.

I struggle with depression and anxiety also, and I agree with everybody that exercise will help with both. It makes me feel so much better to know that I've done at least one positive, healthy thing today, and then I sleep better at night.
In addition to all the usual stuff that I've done for years to manage my depression--go to bed and get up on a regular schedule, exercise, eat right, get out of the house, stay as active as you can, etc.--I've recently started doing the 20/10s recommended
and it's really helping me to keep from getting "stuck" (paralyzed by anxiety and depression). That is, when you have to do something that seems overwhelming (because it makes you anxious or because you're depressed and EVERYTHING seems overwhelming), set a timer and work on it for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, set it again for 10 minutes and spend that time goofing off. It seems silly, but it really helps you to get moving. I'm trying to find a job and that sends my anxiety up to 11, but I can do it if I know I only have to do it for 20 minutes. If that 20 minutes is all I can do that day, then that's all I do.

To follow up on what WorkingMyWayHome said: in the partial hospitalization program, we had a five minute rule., based on the idea that you can do just about
for five minutes. And you don't have to do it all the way. Like, if you know you need to eat around now, you can say "I'll just go into the kitchen for five minutes." And if it's just too much, after five minutes you can come back and sit down. But you often find that once you're in the kitchen, you can open a can of soup and put in the microwave and set it for 90 seconds and take it out and bring it back - all in that five minutes. Or maybe just pour a glass of milk; it really varies on the day.
My therapist in the program told me that when she started working out, she just decided to go look at the equipment in her basement for five minutes. After a few days, she could put on the workout clothing and look at the equipment for five minutes. And then after a few days she could put on the workout clothing, and sit on the equipment for five minutes. And so on.
I find this especially helpful when I'm very very anxious about something: I can look at the bill on my table for five minutes, or I can sit in the parking lot of the store for five minutes, or whatever. I have an escape route - when the five minutes are up, I've won. And then the next time isn't so bad, and maybe I'll even open the envelope and look at the paper inside next time, or turn off my car's engine and step out for a moment.

I'm definitely going to use the 20/10 'system' because I find it so incredibly exhausting doing anything. I still manage to do things, but it takes a very long time to push myself to do these things and it feels exhausting from beginning to end...
As for spending time outside, I have been considering walking outside for just a bit every day rather than trekking it to the gym because that's too exhausting right now. Just getting outside when I don't have work would feel like a huge victory.

Even sitting in your car in a nature center's parking lot with the windows rolled down helps - nature is like magic that way. I eat lunch in parks to help myself feel better - thanks for mentioning it, edguardo.

These days adults are likely to become familiar of how poor our lifestyles are and are trying to make a positive change in their life. One thing a lot more individuals are trying is colon cleansing. Your body is supposed to produce at the very minimum of one bowel movement a day. This is healthy, although almost everyone are at least slightly constipated and only have one bowel movement every day or two. Individuals who make only one or two bowel movements a week or less are severely constipated.

This has become a stand by in our house! I use frozen apple juice instead of cider because I always have it on hand.
Sage Turkey Meat Loaves with Onion and Cider Gravy
Oxmoor House
Cooking meat loaf in single-serving portions cuts the cooking time in half and keeps the ground turkey moist. Be sure to gently shape the turkey mixture into loaves—overworking the mixture will make them tough. For a hearty meal, serve with green beans and mashed potatoes.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 meat loaf and about 1/4 cup gravy)
