This is bolded text. This is emphasized text. This is strong text.
The problem is that when the subject of troll romance is broached, our sparing human intellects instantly assume the most ingratiating posture of surrender imaginable. But we will do our best to understand regardless.
Humans have only one form of romance. And though we consider it a complicated subject, spanning a wide range of emotions, social conventions, and implications for reproduction, it is ultimately a superficial slice of what trolls consider the full body of romantic experience. Our concept of romance, in spite of its capacity to fill our art and literature and to rule our individual destinies like little else, is still just that. A single, linear concept. A concept usually denoted by a single symbol.
Troll romance is more complicated than that. Troll romance needs four symbols.
Their understanding of romance is divided into halves, and halved again, producing four quadrants: the FLUSHED QUADRANT, the CALIGINOUS QUADRANT, the PALE QUADRANT, and the ASHEN QUADRANT.
Each quadrant is grouped by the half they share, whether horizontally or vertically, depending on the overlapping properties one examines. The sharpest dichotomy, from an emotional perspective, is drawn between RED ROMANCE and BLACK ROMANCE.
RED ROMANCE, comprised of the flushed and pale quadrants, is a form of romance rooted in strongly positive emotions. BLACK ROMANCE, with its caliginous and ashen quadrants, is rooted in the strongly negative.
On the other hand, the vertical bifurcation has to do with the purpose of the relationship, regardless of the emotions behind it. Those quadrants which are CONCUPISCENT, the flushed and caliginous, have to do with facilitating the continuation of trollkind. Those which are CONCILIATORY, the pale and ashen, would be more closely likened to platonic relationships by human standards.
There are many parallels between human relationships and the various facets of troll romance. Humans have words to describe relationships of a negative nature, or of a platonic nature. The difference is, for humans, those relationships would never be conceptually grouped with romance. Establishing those sort of relationships for humans is not driven by the same primal forces that drive our tendency to couple romantically. But for trolls, those primal forces involve themselves in the full palette of these relationships, red or black, torrid or friendly. Trolls typically feel strongly compelled to find balance in each quadrant, and seek gratifying relationships that each describes.
The challenge is particularly tortuous for young trolls, who must reconcile the wide range of contradictory emotions associated with this matrix, while understanding the nature of their various romantic urges for the first time.
Of course, young humans have this challenge too. But for trolls, the challenge is fourfold.
When two individuals find themselves in the flushed quadrant together, they are said to be MATESPRITS. Matespritship is the closest parallel to the human concept of romance trolls have. This is pretty obvious! Not much more needs to be said about this. Moving right along.
When a pair of adversaries delve into this quadrant, they become each other's KISMESIS. As one of the concupiscent quadrants, it plays a similar functional role to that of matespritship. There is no particularly good human translation for this concept. The closest would be an especially potent arch-rivalry.
For instance, human players would never be able to adequately diagnose the relationship between the queen and her archagent. But troll players could immediately place it as a dead ringer for kismesissitude. They would think we were all pretty stupid for not getting it. And they would be right.
This quadrant involves a particular type of three-way relationship of a black romantic nature. Falling on the conciliatory side, it has no bearing on the reproductive cycle, except for indirect ramifications.
When two trolls are locked in a feud or some otherwise contentious relationship, one can intervene and become their AUSPISTICE. The auspistice mediates between the two, playing the role of a peace keeper, preventing the feud from boiling over into a fully caliginous rivalry.
Since such lesser feuds are quite common among trolls, there is a significant need for auspisticing parties. Without them, too many ashen feuds would become caliginous, and begin to conflict with other exclusive kismesis relationships, leading to a great deal of social complexity and sore feelings (even more so than black romance usually involves). Without auspisticism, the result would be widespread black infidelity.
The relationships each quadrant describes tend to be malleable, if not volatile, especially on the concupiscent half where more torrid emotions reside. It doesn't take much to flip a switch and transmute blackrom feelings to redrom, and vice versa.
In many cases, one party will have red feelings while the other has black. But it will often be the case that one party's feelings will swap to match the other's, since there is no quadrant which naturally accommodates such a disparity. But thereafter, it's not uncommon for the two to toggle between red and black in unison now and then. These scenarios naturally result in both red and black infidelities.
This sort of relationship volatility is why conciliatory relationships are an important part of troll romance.
An auspistice can stabilize particularly turbulent relationships. If the auspistice fails to mediate properly, or has no interest in the role, or perhaps has different romantic intentions him/herself altogether, then the relationship often quickly deteriorates into one of an especially hostile and torrid nature. There are many outside factors and influences tugging and pulling these relationships in different directions, and unlike humans who have very orderly, simple, straightforward romantic relationships without exception, trolls exist in a state of almost perpetual confusion and generally have no idea what is going on.
Being confused by troll relationships is one thing we do have in common though.
This quadrant presides over MOIRALLEGIANCE, the other conciliatory relationship. A reasonable human translation would be the concept of a soul mate, but in a more platonic sense, and with a more specific social purpose.
Trolls are a very angry and violent race. Some are more hot-tempered and dangerous than others, to the extent that if left to their own devices, they would present a serious threat to society, or even to themselves. Such trolls will have an instinctive pale attraction to a more even-tempered troll, who may become their MOIRAIL. The moirail is obliged to pacify the other, to function as the better half. The two partners in a strong pale relationship will serve to balance and complement each other's emotional profiles, and thus allow their other relationships to be more successful.
It's often ambiguous especially among young trolls whether a bond formed between an acquaintance is true moirallegiance, or the usual variety of platonic involvement. Furthermore, romantic intentions of a more flushed nature can often be mistaken for paler leanings, much to the frustration of the suitor.
Yes, the romantic landscape is rife with false starts and miscues and infidelities, red and black. But every troll believes strongly that each quadrant holds one and only one true pairing for them, and it is just a matter of time before the grid is filled with auspicious matchups through the mysterious channels of TROLL SERENDIPITY.
In short, their belief is that for each quadrant there exists a pair or triad of trolls somewhere in the cosmos that were…

(08/15/12) - A former Saginaw High School star is helping hundreds of young athletes in his hometown.
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley will donate more than $60,000 to the Saginaw Public Schools athletic department.
Facing major budget problems, the Saginaw Public School District was set to charge every student athlete $75 to participate.
Thanks to Woodley, athletes won't have to tackle a financial problem when they're on the field.
Saginaw High School football player Terrance Spiller thought he would have to pay $75 to play football this season.
He can save that money thanks to a $60,000 donation from a fellow Trojan who's also one of his favorite athletes - LaMarr Woodley.
"He's been helping us out a lot. In years in the past, he's donated cleats and other things like that and a lot of players was kind of worried about the $75 to play because everybody don't have it like that and when I break the news to them today, I'm sure everybody's going to be happy," he said.
The pay to participate program was scheduled to kick off this school year. The district had never charged student athletes before.
The athletic director for the district says Woodley's donation will help students and families across the city.
"It provides each student an opportunity to play. Some of the social economic problems that we're having here in Saginaw, that takes a lot of pressure off a lot of the students, the parents. Now we know that a student athlete will play or participate if he or she wants to go out for a team," said Jeffrey Goodwine, the academic athletic director for the district.
That means Spiller and his teammates can continue being leaders on the football field.
"Our team, it teaches us discipline. How to be a man in a way. Responsibility, like being here on time. Work ethics and how to get along with others, so it carries over into school and the real world when we go off to college and he's just giving everybody a chance to continue that," Spiller said.
Goodwine says the donation will also help offset costs for some equipment and transportation.

plz help with static equillibrium TEE exam in a few days
hi ive got a physics question that is static equillibrium, if anyone can help me sort out the prob i would be very happy :).
ok the prob i have with it is i get the cos or sin the angle wrong like i get everythign else right exept i get the cos or sin mixed up, if anyone can tell me how i determine which one to use it woul be very nice.
FIND THE TENSION in cable
Before starting, could you tell me what would your solution strategy consist of?
That is, how, in general terms, would you try to determine the tension?
sure ok what i would do is
take moments of point B
sum (ACW) = sum (CW)
ill just say let z be the cos or sin im not sure of how to work out
2.25 T = (5x200x z 32 deg) + (2.5x54x z 32 deg)
I would draw a vector diagram with each force following the next. It will look a certain way because the forces are in equilibrium.
the only bit i have trouble with is determining if i use sin or cos of the angle
can someone please show me how to determine if i use sin or cos of the angle 32?
Always remember that you are to find the length of the relevant "lever arm".
Now, for the weights, they represent forces in the vertical direction.
What direction should therefore the "lever arm" in question have?
we already know the length of the arm (5m). Yeah the weights represent forces vertically down one at the end of the arm (the mass) and the other half way through the arm (weight of the arm). but i still down understand how to work out the weather its cos or sin
No, the pole is NOT the "lever arm"!
The lever arm is the component of the position vecor (i.e the pole) PERPENDICULAR to the force.
So, what is the direction of the lever arm in this case?
And what is its length?
i think i know what you mean, the length is
cos32 = x/5
x = 5cos32 = 4.24 (2dp)
and the direction is just 32 deg isnt it?
You are right in x being 5cos(32) when it comes to the hanging weight.
Hence, the hanging weight's MOMENT about B is simply the product between the weight and the lever arm (that is, x).
x has HORIZONTAL direction, by the way.
Now, compute the other moments about B!
2.25T = (54x2.5cos32)+(200x5cos32)
T= 422.70 N (2dp)
so for moments questions when they are angular i need to find the length of the postion vector perpendicular to the force?
That is one way to do it, yes.
You can also compute the product of force, the length of the position angle and the sine between them.
The answers will be equal, since (the length of the position TIMES the sine of the angle between the force vector and the position vector) equal
the length of the lever arm.
To see this, remember that:
where angles are measured in degrees.
thanks for your help!
1. draw diagram
2. sum forces in x and y direction
3. sum torques around a chosen point, in this case i would choose the point to be at where the beam and the wall connect because you actually have a reaction force there, and its good to cancel them out if your chosen point is there
sum of forces in x = Rx (horizontal reaction force of wall) - T = 0
sum of forces in y = Ry - weight - mg (the gravational pull on pole) = 0
sum of torques = - mg cos 32 (2.6m) - weight(cos 32 ) 5 m + 4.24 m (Tsin32) = 0
if a force makes the pole go clockwise around the chosen Point, then that force is negative; if its counterclockwise then its positive in the torque equation
all forces in the torque equation MUST BE PERPENDICULAR TO THE POLE; mg points straight down, but to get the mg that is perpendicular to the pole, u multiply mg by cos32!! its the same with Tension, if u look more closely, you know you have to get the Tension force that is perpendicular with the pole, so u'd have to multiply the normal Tension by sin32 to get the tension that is PERPENDICULAR to the pole
and of course you multiply the force by the length from the chosen point, where mg is half the poles length, so its 2.5 m away, and the weight is 5 metres away. tension is 4.24 m away because 2.25 m / sin32 is 4.24 (trig)
so now you only have one unknown, T, in your torque equation
it becomes:

The only thing this place has going for it is the decorations, they would get 10 stars for that if possible. It has one of the coolest looking bars downstairs and the floor is painted with neat designs upstairs. They also probably have the nicest bathrooms on s tacoma way. All the music we've seen has been great. They mostly have blues/country/rock-ish rather than your standard Top 40 bands. Now for the food... the salads get 5 stars, everything else on the menu gets 1. For being a pizza place you would think the pizza would be great but we haven't had a good one yet. The standard cheese pizza is rubbery and the pepperoni one is really greasy. They have lots of other concoctions too and some are weird, the ones we had were edible but didn't leave you feeling very good. About half the time whatever we ordered would come out burnt on the outside and not cooked enough on the inside. The wait staff is kinda hit and miss. The first time there I was completely ignored, even while standing up at the bar trying to order something. All the other times they had a waitress for the tables. It is almost always way too cold and the music they play over the speakers is pretty loud as well.

This is way better than anything within many miles. Great venue (see TNT review) , great prices (much lower than BJs), great staff and really good food, really.
I have been there 3X with family, friends, or both. The pizza is thin, crisp--cooked, not dried or burned, and well covered with flavorful ingredients. The sauce is what we all want, not the bland stuff we all get typically.
This weekend we had Crab & Articoke Dip with garlic buttered, toasted Ciabatta, a huge portion, way to big to eat, so, well, wonderful leftovers.
We also ordered the Muffeletta sandwich. It was wonderful, there is not another Italian sandiwich to compare in Tacoma. Ciabatta garlic buttered toasted bread, the usual 3 meats, cheeses and sauces were well selected for full flavor and the end product large. I ate it anyway.

Nice article summarising a lot of the interesting points about the Barrens. A lot of people dismiss it but I love the place, it has a great atmosphere to it. Both my Orc characters have never felt a greater sense of peace then when making their way across its plains.

PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd on July 1, 2013, announced that it has incorporated a new subsidiary VESTIGO Petroleum Sdn Bhd to focus on development and production activities from small, marginal and mature fields in Malaysia and abroad.
VESTIGO aims to optimize production from clusters of small, marginal and mature fields through operational, technical and cost effective methods while its parent PETRONAS Carigali continues to explore and develop larger and more technically complex fields, according to a news release.
"VESTIGO will enable PETRONAS to pursue additional growth areas such as small, marginal and mature fields through strategic partnerships with other industry players. The services offered by VESTIGO will be complementary to what PETRONAS Carigali provides in the industry today, stated Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib, president, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd.
"One of the strategic objectives of VESTIGO is to build niche technical and executional capabilities in the development & production of small and marginal fields which can later be replicated for our overseas ventures. It will offer new sources of growth for PETRONAS as we unlock strategic hydrocarbon assets," Datuk Mohd Anuar added.
The company's immediate focus will be on adjacent areas in the domestic front, PETRONAS said.

The more I talk shop with digital marketers pioneering the social and mobile worlds, I am amazed at how many share a fundamental belief.
Sheer candid truth you won't hear at a panel session, Greg Gerik, a social media leader, speaker and many other roles that prove his smarts, told me his number one takeaway way from SXSW 2013. He shared this with Digital Dash:
"What's happening right now in digital marketing is evolving so fast, even the leaders in the space are trying to figure it out."
Disruptive innovation is impacting our roles as digital marketers.
The rate of change is making it increasingly challenging to establish our roles, our titles, our language, our best practices, our communities… What else?
You're busy, on-the-go…
Just tweet me @andreacook and tell me what you think about today's dash…
Go on.
Be Dashing.

WWE is prepping to make "blockbuster announcement that will change WWE forever," tomorrow night in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Wynn Hotel during a live video presentation online at 8:30 pm CST/ 9:30 pm EST via WWE.com. Tomorrow's announcement is likely the launch of the WWE Network, the company's long in-the-works 24/7 channel of sports entertainment content.
Pro Wrestling Examiner reported last month on details that became public about the Network being essentially a digital subscription service similar to Netflix Instant and will feature live pay per view events. WWE legends 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H along with current main eventer John Cena and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will appear at tomorrow night's event which takes place as part of the International Electronic Consumer Trade show.
WWE has invested millions into the WWE Network project over the past few years with the feeling it will drastically change the company's content distribution model and allow it to combat rampant piracy of it's video library on the internet. Fans who subscribe for around $10 a month will have on-demand access to thousands of hours of content from WWE's video library which is largest of any pro wrestling company on the planet. New and original shows such as "Legends House", a reality show filmed in 2012 are expected to be featured on the Network. For more details on the WWE Network and what to expect from it, read this Examiner article at this link.
The most intriguing offering on the Network is the inclusion of monthly pay per views which have been the cornerstone of WWE's business for almost 30 years. WWE will continue to offer PPV events through the traditional option of cable TV but this certainly will be an attractive money-saving option for the millions of die-hard wrestling fans around the world. The WWE Network will possibly be available on a variety of different internet-connect media devices including XBOX One, Playstation 4, Roku, Apple TV, and tablet computers.
In 2011, WWE Network was teased with a potential launch in 2012 which never came to be. It appears now in 2014 that WWE is set to finally pull the switch on their new digital platform which they hope will improve their already successful business.
To add to the anticipation of the WWE Network launch and the road to Wrestlemania 30 in April, WWE is currently getting ready to strike a new TV deal for their weekly shows 'RAW' and 'Smackdown' which currently air on NBC Universal's USA Network and SyFy. According industry insiders, WWE is looking to bring a much higher price for their TV shows as the value of live sports-oriented content to broadcasters has grown dramatically recently as it is seen as a DVR-proof ratings anchor.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay City Council is deciding whether to allow lawn parking around Lambeau Field for events other than football games. The idea popped up when a summer concert for Kenny Chesney drew more than 40,000 people. Some people living near the stadium say homeowners would welcome lawn parking being okayed for other activities. Some charge football fans up to 25 dollars a car for the convenience of parking near the Packers home. A city ordinance currently in place allows cars to be parked on those lawns during Packers home games and the new proposal would extended that practice.

Heavy Hawaii // "For people who like to smoke…"
It's been a super long time since we've heard anything from San Diego beach warblers Heavy Hawaii. A year ago they dropped the single "Super Bowl XXIX" and before that was their 2010 EP HH. Even though it hasn't been much, I've been a huge fan of pretty much everything the band has released, but I've sort of given up on hoping for a proper release. Instead I'm going to just take it as it comes.
Their latest single, which seemed to just drop out of nowhere, sounds like it was recorded on the spot using a crappy microphone and a tape recorder. No matter though, it's still a catchy affair with jangling guitars and the band's typical Beach Boys melodies. Pair that with the cellphone photo they used for the cover art and I'm starting to think that the track is either a demo that is waiting to be fleshed out or it's just a track that the guys threw together one weekend after a few beers. Either way I'm digging it and as always I'm ready for whatever these guys decide to release. Whenever that is.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 – Best Ever?
For those not familiar with the product, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a software product that allows you to speak to your computer (via microphone obviously) and transcribe everything you say into a document.
Some people say this product is absolutely perfect while others say it could be better. A lot better.
Well, version 10 might be the version you were waiting for. According to a review I read on the product (which is where the image comes from in this post), this version does not require the very annoying "training" of the software to recognize your voice (a longstanding complaint) and it boasts 98% accuracy to boot.
This version also allows the ability to have it act as an app launcher of sorts. For example, if you literally tell your computer to do something by voice, it does it. How much it does is indeterminate.
It should be noted you need a computer with some fairly decent specs as it is resource intensive.
For the "Standard" edition, this product retails for $99. Considering what it does, that's not bad.

After producing the software for over 10 years now, you would hope they had it right by now…
PHILIP August 26th, 2008 at 5:01 am
I have used this product for a number of years and it definitely needs training to be accurate!

CHICAGO (WSAU) - Milwaukee Brewers leadoff man Norichika Aoki pounded three hits, stolen four bases and scored a couple of runs, but all that wasn't enough when the Brewer bullpen imploded in an 8-6 loss to the White Sox.
Alex Rios ripped a tie-breaking single in the seventh inning to put Chicago ahead to stay. Among the improbable heroes for the Sox was Dayan Viciedo who came into the game hitting just .132, but hit a home run and drove in half of the White Sox runs. Ryan Braun extended his hitting streak to 17 games in a row in the defeat. He has hit in 27 straight interleague games. Braun was the Brewers' designated hitter in the game.
The Brewers placed starting pitcher Shaun Marcum on the 15-day disabled list with a sore elbow. The team activated first baseman Travis Ishikawa.

Welcome!We're Here to Help M-F 8am-6pm CST
We know the stress and uncertainty created by complicated tax and labor laws.
The information here will clear up the confusion.
Disability benefits are rarely needed, but when the need arises they are very valuable.
Since they allow an employee to be compensated while unable to work, disability benefits
are frequently credited with saving the employment relationship. Here are the most
common questions regarding disability benefits:
Disability benefits are short-term financial benefits provided to employees who
are unable to work due to non-occupational illness or injury. An employee would
qualify to collect disability benefits for maternity leave, surgery, rehabilitation
after injury, and more.
California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Hawaii and New York assess disability taxes
or require a disability insurance policy. California, New Jersey and Rhode Island
fund disability benefits through a disability insurance tax assessed as a part of
payroll taxes. New York and Hawaii fund disability benefits through a mandatory
disability insurance policy. In these five states, claims are reviewed and benefits
are disbursed by the state agency managing the disability fund. Disability benefits
are awarded based on specific criteria, and all claims are approved or rejected
based on the criteria. Disability taxes or required insurance policies are relatively
small, and they provide very valuable benefits.
The other 45 states do not assess disability taxes or provide disability benefits
through a state-managed fund. Disability benefits are available in these states,
but they are provided through private insurance policies. A disability policy is
relatively inexpensive (it varies by state) and can be purchased by employer or
employee. If an employee knows they will be in need of financial assistance during
maternity leave, for example, it is a good idea to carry a disability policy.
The answer to this question is different in every state. In addition, individual
disability policies can vary in benefits based on premiums paid. In general, benefits
are 50% - 100% of salary for up to 14 weeks. Please contact your state or insurance
agent for more details.

ACCOMAC, Va. (AP) — A woman accused of setting a series of fires along Virginia's Eastern Shore has been denied a request for a new court-appointed attorney.
Media outlets report a judge in Accomack County denied Tonya S. Bundick's request Thursday.
A jury last month convicted Bundick of setting a fire March 3, 2013, in Accomack County. In January, Bundick entered an Alford plea to arson and conspiracy stemming from an April 2013 fire in Melfa.
She'll be sentenced in both cases Sept. 4.
In April a judge ruled Bundick can have separate trials on each of 62 arson charges.
Co-defendant Charles R. Smith has pleaded guilty to 67 arson counts and a conspiracy charge. He's awaiting sentencing.

Photography holiday tour of Cambodia - Overview
Cambodia is still a mystery to much of the world and there is much for a lens to capture in its people. From the characteristics of age, pain and suffering etched across the faces of those who survived; to the beauty and inspiration of an emerging generation seeking to escape the defeats and the anxieties of their parents and grandparents, Cambodia is still a mystery to much of the world.
The landscapes of Cambodia are breathtaking. Rivers, lakes and waterfalls exist side-by-side as unsurpassed contrasts. Amazing wildlife and domesticated beasts with a difference roam the countryside. White and gold sandy beaches with coconut palms ring the island retreats that dot the coastline.
There are the monsoon rains that bring out the vibrant colours and the splendours of reflections. The exotic plant life and fields of green take on brilliant hues often decorated with powerful skies and wonderful cloud patterns that create impressive backdrops.
The jungle ruins of Cambodia are legendary relics of the largest civilisation of the pre-modern time. The cultural magnificence felt amongst the ruins is breathtaking.
Spend 10 days in the company of Damien Lovegrove, award-winning British photographer, as we trace out a personal, yet shared, visual journey. We will tap into Damien's enthusiastic and creative mind. He is a kind sharing soul with a passion for photography. His wealth of technical and artistic wisdom will enrich our photographic experience forming memories for years to come, because that is just another reason to be passionate about photography. Or as John Berger once said, "What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time".
"This is not just the Kingdom of Wonder, this is a photographer's paradise."
We will introduce you to the people of Cambodia who known or unknown to them will become the subjects of your candid photographic captures. There will be informal and spontaneous photography competitions, combined with planned workshops. We will have sightseeing surprises, new experiences, discoveries, and time to relax. Our aim is to quench the thirst of your artist photographic soul, to empower you with new lighting and photographic techniques, capturing scenery, people, colours and textures that you have yet to discover. We have a lot in store for you on this tuition/discovery combination; off the beaten track visits, mixed with tutorial sessions (36 hours of led tuition) covering landscape, local models, a special 'Lovegrove art nude' shoot, some jungle moments and monuments. We will seek out that special light of Cambodia, and capture not only the beauty of the Khmer people, but their character too.
Cambodia is full of emotion. What you see on the outside, will no doubt be felt on the inside, especially as you learn about their past and witness the consequences. You will recognise their glory too; let your imagination take flight against the backdrops of the ancient history we will immerse ourselves in. The discoveries we make during the course of our travelling can sometimes be quite overwhelming. We'll take you to the spectacular, rarely frequented overgrown ruins, to magnificent old temples, architectural masterpieces of form and precision, agricultural lands of harvest and survival, dilapidated and restored buildings of the old French Colonial époque … and more … but most of all it's about the Khmer people and what a study they are for the dedicated photographer. Come journey with us and see for yourself.
Please Note
This photography experience holiday is not organised by us, it is being organised by Essential Explorations, experts in creating stunning, hand-crafted journeys that stimulate rich, heartfelt connections. Damien has been invited as the photography leader.
Couple bookings
We appreciate that your partner might not be as passionate about photography as you. If you wish to take this journey with your better half but don't want them to feel left out – rest assured. We have a separate agenda prepared for those days when you are actively focusing on a Lovegrove session, but your partner will be on their own adventure. An itinerary dedicated to the non-photographer will accompany this tour to allow them to keep you on your toes.
Every effort will be made to stick to the itinerary as outlined. However we strongly recommend that you request the latest and most up-to-date information and itinerary from Essential Explorations. As travellers we will be flexible and able to adapt our journey in certain circumstances such as weather, closures, unforeseen delays of flights or schedules, the order in which we view the sites, etc. If a minor or major change occurs, we do our very best to replace that experience with another of equal or superior wow factor and value. Sometimes, while on tour another option is discovered, so we have been known to make a spontaneous decision about changing the program because of the opportunity presented. Just be prepared to go with the flow and absorb the best from your 'essential explorations'.

What to bring
• Camera
Either a digital SLR or a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is ideal. Damien is likely to have a Fujifilm X-Pro2 camera with 14mm, 23mm, 35mm and 56mm lenses. He may also take the 55-200mm telephoto zoom with image stabilisation.
• Lenses
On APSC format 16mm to 60mm is ideal and on full frame 24mm to 90mm is perfect. There are times where an extreme wide angle lens may be a preferred option or a longer telephoto. The important thing with lens choice is to take what you feel comfortable with. Lenses you know and love are more likely to reward you with fantastic images. A fast standard prime lens like a 50mm f/1.8 on full frame is recommended too. Especially if you are bringing zooms with maximum apertures of f/4 or similar. Damien says "If I had just one lens with me for this trip it would have to be the 23mm f/1.4 Fuji x lens. The same focal length that is found in the fabulous Fujifilm X100s. I find the angle of view (35mm equivalent on full frame) easy to compose with. I also love the fact I can shoot a little closer to my subjects when shooting portraits. this delivers portraits with intimacy and backgrounds that add to the story. The wider the lens, the more environment that gets pulled into the portrait." Take a look at Damien's X100 picture gallery here.
• Tripod
We will be shooting various subjects in low light like the mists on the rice fields in first light, landscapes at dusk and star trails at night.
• A remote release cable or intervalometer device.
• Polarising filter to fit your wide lens or lenses.
• Graduated filters and holder (desirable but not essential).
• Hoodman Loupe or equivalent (absolute must have bit of kit).
• A Laptop computer with Lightroom or Aperture and a card reader to back up your images. A separate small hard drive is recommended but not essential. This equipment will give you the ability to gather valuable feedback as you progress through your photographic journey. You will also find it essential for preparing your images for the competitions throughout the trip and in time for the deadline submission date – which will be via an online upload page.
Think to purchase a 3G card for your computer after clearing customs at the Phnom Pemh Airport. US$10 should be enough but refills are easy. Otherwise, you must deliver your competition entry images on a USB stick to us by 7pm on Day 9 of the Tour.
Essential Explorations recommends
July and August are the late summer/ early rainy season months (the heavy rains are mid-September through to end October). Whilst in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap light-weight clothing and thongs (flip flops / sandals) are fine, but for the time spent on location, at the ruins and other rural locations, we recommend socks and sneakers or boots, and long sleeves to cover your arms. Pack layers, but you will rarely need more than two. One, maximum two, pullovers is ample. We will have lightweight raincoats for you should it rain (which are generally punctual and short downpours). The beauty of the rains are for added effects to our photography (reason we chose this time of the year) and of course, the rich green colours of the countryside come alive. Mosquito cream (Deet based) is useful once one leaves the city locations (all year round in fact); and a hat (from the sun or the rain). A bum bag is the way to go; these can be purchased here on our day at the markets, and back packs or easy handling 'tough' suitcases for the porterage crew. Most times our luggage will be in our hotel rooms, but the more hands-free you can be on the day-excursions, the better.

About Damien
Damien Lovegrove is the managing director of the Lovegrove Photography brands. His life in his words...
"I grew up with my parents among the orchard and hop farms of rural Kent. My mother is an art teacher and my father was an architect. I've always been a visual person having been taught about composition, texture and form in art from an early age. I was 12 when I first experienced the magic of making photographs with a Patterson enlarger in the bathroom. I'll never forget the pungent aroma of the stop bath chemicals. Two magical moments I am glad to have experienced at an early age are peering at the processed film for the first time as it is removed from the processing tank and watching the image form on the photographic paper in the developer tray."
"I'm inspired by beauty and as I have matured as a photographer I've learned to see beauty in just about everyone and everywhere. It's not what I look at that matters to me it is what I see. I am always converting the three dimensional scene in front of me into a two dimensional image in my mind. The exhilarating visual experience I have every moment of the day drives my passion for photography. I love studying the work of other photographers to relive the excitement of their captured moment."
"I'm a self motivated guy with quite an entrepreneurial streak in me. It's been quite a journey from my days at the BBC where I trained and worked as a cameraman and lighting director. 14 years of BBC life taught me nothing about making money but everything about image making that I could ever have dreamed of. The entrepreneurial skills came later in life when I embarked on a lucrative career and teamed up with my wife Julie as wedding photographers. Having a distinct style kept our work at a premium level and we charged high fees accordingly. After 10 years and 400 weddings it was time to move on."
"Cutting loose from weddings allowed me to follow my heart and become a portrait and beauty photographer. I suppose I'm quite similar in mind to Helmut Newton, obsessed with detail and excited by beautiful people and places. I love to direct my subjects and take control. To part fund the transition into portraiture I published my first book on wedding photography in 2007 and it went on to sell some 35,000 copies making it an instant best seller in it's field. Next came my first art book called Chloe Jasmine Whichello. This has gone on to receive wonderful critical acclaim. More information about the book and signed copies at 'cheaper than Amazon prices' can be purchased here. It took me until my early 30s to develop a maturity that enabled me to direct my clients and models. Effective communication and the ability to forge instant rapport are skills I learned quite late in life. Helping other photographers achieve their goals has been a big highlight in my recent years. My role in life has become to inspire and educate other photographers through a sharing of knowledge, wisdom and passion."
A few other random facts about me...
"I love people and I suppose women in particular. I love their mannerisms, fashion, style and beauty. I love photographing women. I also get a buzz from teaching. My favourite colour is green. It is the signal colour for the start of spring and it reminds me of lying on the ground in apple orchards as a child. I'm an evening person. I come alive as the sun goes down, It's when I like to party. I feel I have some Latin spirit in me that just wants to party until dawn. I have my roots firmly in the UK yet the climate is not how I like it. I'd like to live 1500km south of here in the Mediterranean region. Travel, photography and adventure are my main motivators right now. I like to have at least three international trips in the diary ahead of me.
Six things that I like...
1. Youth - Vibrant, beautiful, effervescent, alive and broad-minded people excite me.
2. Music - Rhythmic, mood enhancing and well structured music provides the sound track to my life.
3. Sunlight - Sunlight uplifts me, it creates visual contrast and generates fabulous patterns of light.
4. Food - Slow roasted lamb shanks with Dauphinoise potatoes and I suppose chocolate are my favourite foods.
5. Drinks - Fine old world wines, beer and cappuccino are three of my life excesses.
6. Connectivity - smart phones, and devices keep me connected via Twitter, my blog Prophotonut and Facebook.
Essential Explorations grew up from the group, Soul Journeys Travel and just as a Soul Journey does, EE offers incredible journeys of soul-satisfying consequences. They are not just about travel, they are profound life experiences aimed to take your breath away.
Their itinerary and our Tour Leadership are dedicated to helping you get the best from yourself. Whether it be better at what you do; better at observing life; or capturing a better understanding of the world, EE encourages your expansion as an individual.
From fabulous backdrops - embark on a journey to touch that essential part of yourself and your connection with the world at large. Think about where you want to grow because remember, the directions we choose to take in life are so much more than just North, South, East or West ....!

Facebook is celebrating a birthday.
Many other sites
have been born since Facebook started the social networking craze, but a lot of
users say Facebook is still relevant.
Facebook was created as a way to connect students, and that
concept hasn't changed much. An instructor in the Medical Assisting program at
Albany Technical College uses Facebook as a everyday tool in the classroom.
"I post announcements to the students. I post job opening
posting. Any new and interesting articles or changes that occur in the medical
profession," said Cathy Garmon.
Garmon started a medical assisting page for her students years ago
and says it's been successful so far.
"I'm of the older generation, and my students were always
talking to me about communicating on Facebook. I had to get with the newer
trends and the trends was that everyone was on Facebook," said Cathy Garmon.
One of her students, Kristen Lord is an avid Facebook user and
couldn't see herself going without the social network.
"School plays a vital role in my life and I'm trying to
complete this so that I can move on. I feel that in order for me to be
completely successful I do need to view my medical assisting page on Facebook,"
Kristen Lord.
Some people say their use of Facebook has declined over the years,
but still manages to find some good uses for it.
"I get to see all my friends' information, what they are doing,
keep in touch with past classmates. I'm still friends with my classmates from 6
grade. I can see what they are doing," said Miranda Phillips.
Some people say they are moving away from Facebook to other sites
like Instagram and Twitter. Dyron Nix hasn't used Facebook in over a year.
"I know they are trying to reinvent themselves, buy adding
video and chat, but they are losing their edge I would say," said Dyron
Many businesses continue to use Facebook for networking and
advertising. And that could mean a whole new era for the site.
Facebook has
about 1.23 billion users.

When do competent, rational, fair, responsible, ethical citizens, officials, journalists and organizations take sides in a racially charged controversy involving a law enforcement officer and an individual shot and killed by that officer in an incident where the circumstances and provocation have yet to be verified?
Simple: they don't.
So how do we explain and characterize the decisions of so many citizens, officials, journalists and organizations to take sides in the Michael Brown shooting by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson? That's simple too.
They are neither competent, rational, fair, responsible, nor ethical.
Thus we add to the passenger list of the Ferguson Ethics Train Wreck the following, who publicly took sides this weekend and today:
- Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed (discussed here.)
- The Obama Administration. Three White House representatives will attend Brown's funeral. This signals an official acceptance of the Brown family narrative, at this point completely unverified, that police misconduct and racism were involved in the death of their son, or if not, and I'm sure the White House will have some spin to dispute this, that is how it will be perceived by activists and how the White House wants it to be perceived. This may be good politics (though I don't think intentional divisiveness is good, but the White House and I differ on that point), but it is horrible leadership, and a slap in the fact to all law enforcement, which is now being told by those representing the President of the United States that it is presumed to be in the wrong when there is a controversy over the exercise of force involving an African American

Quarterback Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys drops back to hand off the ball against the New York Giants at Texas Stadium on December 14, 2008 in Irving, Texas.
It's official, we've seen everything at the "Billion Dollar Baby" in Arlington. Three Cowboys turnovers led to 17 Giants points to give them a 20-17 lead at halftime.
Jason Witten's kick of a bad Tony Romo pass led to a Kenny Phillips interception, then a circus catch by Marion Manningham for the touchdown.
Early on, it was the Cowboys defense that kept them in the game. Two stops led to a pair of Giants field goals.
Then, after a three-and-out on the Cowboys first possession, the Giants marched down the field and scored the first points at the new stadium on a Lawrence Tynes field goal.
The Cowboys responded with a nine-play 62-yard drive, capped off by a Marion Barber touchdown run.
The Giants only touchdown of the half came off a Romo interception that Bruce Johnson returned for a touchdown.
The Cowboys added another long drive, and pretty pass and catch from Romo to Witten.
Right now the Giants are out smarting the Cowboys, and they'll need to play mistake free football if they want to win this game.

I think you have a good point about learning for PvP and instance play while leveling, but this is something that Blizzard has some control over should they ever decide to put more emphasis on teaching these skills to those leveling. Questing seems to be the most efficient way of leveling right now, so most players stick to that. If the XP gain for instance play had a higher multiplier, more players might be willing to spend their time clearing dungeons instead of collecting X bear asses over and over again instead.
I'm thrilled that XP gain is coming from battlegrounds in the next patch, although I have no idea what the point gain is like for this activity compared to quest grinding. I'm casually leveling a toon at the moment and will probably spend a lot more time PVPing in the lower tiers now that twinks are mostly being removed from general population play and due to the possibility of gaining XP while playing.

An impressive flood of emotion when that radio clip plays and you hear Niehaus call the game winning play of the 1995 ALCS. I remember that night very vividly- remember the grin on Griffey's face at the bottom of the pile and the joy and watching athletes I truly respected and loved fulfill their potential. 1995 was a good year.
