Interview: Kristine Lirio (Nima)
28 Jul 2014 — Johanne Swanson
I met Kristine Lirio a few summers ago in Los Angeles. If it was at a renegade show in a parking structure or a pool party she was playing in Eagle Rock, I can't say. What I do remember, first: the quiet strength of command and intention over her insturment; second: the supportive group, friends and collaborators, surrounding her. Last week Lirio, who records as Nima, released the devastating See Feel Real. She was gracious enough to speak with me about the aural metaphor behind the record and the nurtured ethic of freely sharing her craft. Read the interview after the break.
See Feel Real is avaliable now on a limited run of 50 cassettes through Harsh Riddims.

Hey Kristine! Thanks for making the time to chat.
Thank you for having me!
Last time I saw you was at the beginning of the year when we were sharing a bill at the short-lived Church on York with the rest of the Smells Like Queen Spirit crew. I feel like gear is always breaking playing electronic music, synths dying right before you're about to go on and whatnot, but you had lost your voice that night! So frustrating to have your most intimate and manipulative instrument fail. Still, your performance was entirely absorbing. What was your setup like?
Everyone was amazing that night! Despite losing my voice, it was interesting to solely showcase the instrumentals to see if their strength carried without my voice. I used a Kawai K4, a Casiotone MT-68, a few delay pedals, and a sampler to trigger some audio clips - among those clips were some extracts from my favorite Parajanov films.
Are you playing similarly out live now?
With that gear, yes. Sometimes it's overwhelming having so much in front of me visually. I think it's my classical training as a piano player-- there's the idea of engaging with one instrument crafted to produce certain tones versus engaging with several instruments that can incorporate digital possibility. I love both ideas and get to exercise them -- it feels like a balancing act, especially when the majority of my live renditions rely on layered loops. It's all about purging and being able to access the drive within you that no one else can see and engage with it through your craft, which also makes it audibly and visibly accessible.
Seems like everyone has funny stories about how gear finds them. Got any?
When I started playing shows I used to lug around my sister's 88-key Yamaha Motif that we kept in a large canvas case with wheels. It must've looked comical and impractical, but there was comfort in being able to access those octaves. Then she gave me a Kawai K4 in 2011 and it's been with me since. As for my Casiotone MT-68, I found it under a bench in Tustin.
When did you move to Oakland?
I relocated from Irvine about six months ago. The Bay Area in general has always resurfaced in my life between family and friends. It's a nourishing region and my creative support system is here. I also love the fog and being near the ocean.
You just self-released bay connected not but a week after See Feel Reel came out on Atlanta's Harsh Riddims. It feels like your older material, more drone and minimal. What were the timeline and process like?
I recorded bay connected in two nights, once in June and once in July. I was trying to shake off the feeling of longing so I shut myself in my room, drank a six pack, and just recorded freely, looping parts on the Casiotone while manipulating and looping samples I accumulated on the SP-555. The intention came from the desire to reconnect with sources that were no longer accessible as how I first encountered them (people, places, or objects specific to circumstance). It's a personal archive of these sources that inspired me.
See Feel Reel is a definite turn for you as an artist. It's pretty aggressive and a bit more challenging of a listen. What were the catalysts for this?
I wanted to combat the expectations of softness and atmosphere to showcase a hardier side with literal tension in the actual sound and feeling. There's also a theme devoted to the power of cinema, in its viewing and production, containing representation and recording the fidelity of a moment. The song "No Speech Sensuality" is the gut of it all-- I was tired of hearing how synths were immediately associated with space, and I think we get that as an audience because of the more conventional identifications taken from soundtracks in cinema and TV shows utilizing those sounds. I'm not opposed to it, but it made me question whether or not we are actively creating our own metaphors when describing or painting music we hear. It's definitely good to relate and recognize the impact of those identifiers, but how often are we able to branch out of the descriptions we haven't created on our own? "No Speech Sensuality" consists of two takes layered on top of one another, and I played the Kawai through the DD-20 hoping to give my take on what kind of atmosphere or visual those tones meant to me.
One of my favorite tracks is "How Does It Go (ft. hellacamus)". It starts with this great melodic tension and intimate lyrical narrative and sort of explodes in this grinding beat while you sing over and over, demanding and sort of teasing, "Don't fucking humor me."
That song was very fun to produce, and is actually hellacamus singing the lead. The way it was constructed began with her a cappella first, which she presented to me one day, and I really wanted to include it in the album. I incorporated manipulated samples of recorded jam sessions that consisted of .L.W.H. on drums, clownshoes on guitar, and me on keyboard. The only recorded instrument in that track is hellacamus' voice and my backing vocals - everything else is a collage of samples.
It's a theme I kept arriving at while thinking about your work-- meditation on tension. Would you agree?
Yes, I'm glad it resonates that way with you because I feel like I can better handle those tensions making or performing music, and not in a way to suspend them or to feel indulgent in my own little world, but to allow those tensions to take a different form than how they appear internally, to make them more relatable audibly despite the fact they are not ultimately defined. That's what the whole project is about, even if it may seem personal, I wanted to create these intentional metaphors and see the sincere connection I can share with individuals outside of myself.
Yeah, I feel like we sort of belong to a generation of cultural anxiety in love with the digital age. We were taught that these consuming tensions, anxieties, are internal forces, but the information age has sort of radicalized or even politicized the vocal expression of anxiety.
I think our generation is definitely speaking out, but there's something lost in the articulation-- we want it to communicate on a wide scale while keeping in mind the individual's context-- and I don't think this kind of voice reaches a general audience because there's an array of contexts that we want to be inclusive about when it comes to any type of suffering. Vocal expressions, when conscious, meditative, and intentional, will speak to its immediate environment. Anomalies will of course exist, but it seems like the generations that grew up with technology and accessibility will need more narrative or context from older generations when it comes to expressing anxiety in a way that reaches out to other anxious individuals. It seems like we're stuck in this spot where we all know we're anxious, but what can we do about it? I feel like voice has become a thing of shouting versus a call to action. But that's the great thing about our power as individuals when we have the time and capabilities to think about these things and create from our thoughts-- do we take on that responsibility?
There's a lot of collaboration on See Feel Reel that I haven't noticed in previous Nima releases. Can you talk a bit about that choice and your experience working with other artists?
Megan (clownshoes) and hellacamus are both my good friends. Megan wanted to work on music together after hearing the Demon/Wet Dream tape that Kevin of Bridgetown Records released in 2011. We started playing together and recorded. Clownshoes, hellacamus, and I met in high school in Irvine, and I think we share a lot of the growing pains of that region. When I moved here, L.W.H. reached out and we got to jam and talk about film and music. His album CIA TV has been a big influence. In fact, all three who were featured and myself watched four Godard shorts at PFA one night in February. After the films we got drinks, and Logan and Megan recorded vocals over what ended up being "Come Around". I'm glad I got the chance to create endearing moments with them.
Any other artists you'd like to collaborate with?
It's hard to think of because I feel hesitant to reach out to those who aren't close by. I like intuitively engaging with someone when creating, and that makes it hard when the individual isn't present. A series of video chatting and determined emails definitely make it possible, but by preference I would love to be in a physical space with someone. I did have the opportunity to collaborate on a track with SELA. from Vallejo, which will be on his next release Inevitable.
What inspires you?
I'm inspired by people who are in love with their craft and love to share it. It's something my mother always told me that her grandmother told her, that when you share or give, it's without expectation, it's because you want to-- and that's all there is to it. It's the closest thing to purity I can think of besides your first love, and the fact that she actively does that is mind-blowing to me. I try to live by that, especially in a world where there's so much output to discern that you're just looking for that one sincere moment you can share with other individuals. Giving, in my mother's eyes, doesn't create cycles nor does it seek gain or reciprocation.

Powered by a BMW engine, the Peraves MonoTracer is a two seat, fully enclosed motorcycle – with training wheels. The Peraves is look here 5 mg levitra designed to retract the trainers when moving and generic levitra from canada balanced. Once going it can lean up to 52 degrees in a turn. (I'm not sure if that would feel cool or strike panic)
Specs for this production model are 57 miles per gallon at 55 miles per hour and 47 miles per gallon at 75 miles per hour. The MonoTracer is based on a self-supporting composite-monocoque fuselage made from glass, kevlar and carbon fiber reinforced with high strength aluminum crash and roll bars. Engine frame, steering assembly and stabilizer axles made from aircraft grade alloy steel.
Other interesting features are:
3-point automatic seat belts.
A heating + ventilation system.
Optional airconditioning
GPS and radio
Cruise control
It looks to me like Peraves opted for more luxury and speed and a bit less on www.deboerderijhuizen.nl the Eco Friendly end of the spectrum, however compared with most cars this vehicle is much more fuel efficient. I could see using this as an around town car that is easy to look there levitra injectable park.

This one is more enclosed than most and canadian levitra for sale you would expect it to be more economical, as it is very streamlined.
I wonder what happens if you are filtering through tight traffic, or near a raised curb and you have to stop. What happens if the seyonic.com side wheels cant come down, because of http://meivending.com/cheap-levitra-pills an obstacle.

I see a number of questions about "what if..." the wheels don't come down, what if you end up near a curb, what if there's a meteor, what if I forget to http://invens.nl/online-levitra-prescriptions think (ok, no one asked those last two), but these are trivial questions... Just like in a car...what if you run into a wall - or someone else. Learning to "pilot" an Ecomobile/Monotracer is as important as learning to drive a car, or operate a motorcycle. These issues - aren't issues. Regarding reliability: These are aerospace spec machines. There aren't failures. Reliability is very high. One of the Ecomobile owners in the states, Dan Whitfield, piloted his ECO from North Carolina to Seattle and the San Francisco area in May 2006 and had no issues (ok, he had a low beam on his headlight burn out!). Reliability has not been an issue.
The only real ISSUE at this point for me is www.wowgraphicdesigns.com where I'm going to come up with the $50K+ to get one in my garage.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Monta Ellis poured in 33 points and the Golden State Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak to the Houston Rockets with a 106-97 win on Sunday.
The Warriors got 15 points and 13 rebounds from David Lee and beat the Rockets for only the second time in their last 14 meetings.
Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson added 14 points apiece for Golden State, which opened a three-game homestand with its fourth win in six games overall after pulling away in the fourth quarter. Thompson was 4-for-6 on three-pointers.
Kevin Martin had 28 points to lead the Rockets, who had a three-game overall winning streak snapped and fell to 3-2 on a six-game road trip.
"It just seemed to me like...we were playing in eight inches of water," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "We just couldn't get going."
The Rockets were held to a season-low 31 field goals (31-of-75), but also made a season-high 11 three-pointers (11-of-29).
They led by as many as nine points in the first quarter. Martin had 10 points in the frame and his team carried a 29-23 advantage into the second.
Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said he never worried the game was getting away from his team.
"At no point did I look out there and say we're not working hard," Jackson said. "They just played good and we made some mistakes."
The Warriors turned it around before halftime, shooting nearly 53 percent and out-scoring Houston 25-15 in the second quarter to take a 48-44 lead into the break.
Martin scored 13 of his 28 points in the third quarter and the Rockets tied the game on Courtney Lee's three-pointer inside five minutes. Golden State scored the next four, but Houston tied it once more and trailed just 76-74 entering the fourth quarter after Martin made a late three.
But the Warriors opened the final quarter on an extended 17-5 run sparked by Thompson's three-pointer. Thompson had another three later in the burst and David Lee capped it with a three-point play, making it 93-79 with 7 1/2 minutes remaining.
Houston was never closer than six the rest of the way.
"We did a great job of bouncing back," said Jackson, whose team shot better than 50 percent and went 13-of-24 on three-pointers. "I thought our guys did a great job of battling and competing."

Charlotte-based US Airways pilots and flight attendants are traveling to Washington, D.C. this week to pressure lawmakers to support the blocked US Airways-American Airlines merger.
But many members of the company's biggest union, the International Association of Machinists, say they want a new contract in place before they'll support the merger.
The U.S. Department of Justice unexpectedly filed suit to stop the merger last month. The airlines have scheduled a "fly-in" to bring more than 300 employees from across the U.S. to Washington, in advance of a planned Nov. 25 trial on the merger.
Employees say they hope to push the Justice Department to settle the case, or pressure lawmakers from seven states that have joined the lawsuit to get their states to back out. The employees' message to lawmakers will be simple: This merger is good for us, good for competition, and good for the airline industry.
"It's a good thing. It's good for consumers and all the employees," said Catherine Bossi, president of the Charlotte-based chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants and 30-year employee of US Airways. She'll focus on lobbying Carolinas lawmakers.
The Justice Department disagrees, and says the merger would hurt competition by eliminating US Airways' lower fares on connecting routes, ultimately costing fliers hundreds of millions of dollars. They said it would also make it easier to raise fees for travelers. US Airways and American can survive and compete effectively on their own, the Justice Department said, and don't need to merge.
Seven states and the District of Columbia have joined the Justice Department in the suit, but the Carolinas did not. Carolinas lawmakers have generally supported the merger.
One group of employees that won't be represented at this week's lobbying events are US Airways' fleet service workers and mechanics, represented by the International Association of Machinists. US Airways and the IAM have yet to reach an agreement on a new contract, and talks are now under the supervision of a federal mediator.
On Friday, US Airways IAM workers picketed in front of Charlotte Douglas, pressing the company to speed up the contract talks.
"All IAM members at US Airways stand in solidarity with the same goal; contracts now!" IAM District 142 President Tom Higginbotham said in a Sept. 10 statement. "US Airways needs to stop babbling about this merger circus and do what's right by IAM members at US Airways."
One Charlotte-based US Airways employee said the fleet service workers and mechanics were upset that US Airways CEO Doug Parker reached tentative contract terms with American employees while they still don't have a deal. American is currently in bankruptcy.
"We've been left on the sidelines, talked to the very last," said the employee, who asked not to be named because he isn't authorized to speak with the press. "It has gone on, like, indefinitely."
"(Parker's) talking to a bankrupt airline and offering them money instead of cutting contracts with his own people," said the employee. "That's the very frustrating part for us."
The IAM represents 14,000 mechanics and fleet service workers at the airline, almost half of the airline's 32,000 workers.
A US Airways spokeswoman said the airline is planning contract talks with the IAM in October and November, and looks forward to the negotiations.
Rally on Capitol Hill
Many US Airways employees insist the merger will be good for employees and the airline industry.
"The message is let us fly together. That's kind of the mantra," said James Ray, spokesman for the Charlotte-based US Airline Pilots Association. He's heading to D.C. on Monday for the lobbying push. "It's about trying to convince lawmakers that the merger will be good for competition."
Ray said the employees have more than 200 appointments lined up Tuesday and Wednesday with members of Congress. "We want to try to set them at ease," Ray said.
An employee rally is planned for Capitol Hill to cap off the lobbying push. The airlines are also sponsoring a letter-writing campaign, encouraging their 108,000 combined employees to send pre-written emails to elected officials expressing their support for the merger. As of Friday, US Airways said employees had sent nearly 75,000 messages.
Some lawmakers have said they disagree with the DOJ and encouraged the agency to drop its lawsuit.
"This is yet another attempt by the administration to stifle business and free enterprise and instead create needless government over-regulation," Texas Rep. Michael Burgess, a Republican, said in a letter earlier this month to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
Employees who are planning going to lobby this week said they hope lawmakers will pressure the DOJ to settle with US Airways and American quickly and head off a trial.
"Anytime you can settle something, it would be great," said Bossi, of the flight attendants group.
The airlines and many of their employees say that combining the No. 3 and No. 5 carriers, American and US Airways, would actually create a more competitive environment by giving United and Delta Air Lines a third mega-competitor.
More than 7,400 US Airways employees are based in Charlotte, the airline's busiest hub. After the American merger, Charlotte would be the combined carrier's second-busiest hub, behind Dallas/Fort Worth.
US Airways, as the smallest of the so-called legacy carriers, has traditionally paid its employees less than industry average wages in order to stay competitive. One of the major selling points for the merger to employees was the promise of higher wages and a more stable career, along with no job cuts for non-corporate employees.
Airline employees have also endured thousands of layoffs as US Airways, American and every other legacy airline went through bankruptcy since 2001.
A federal bankruptcy court judge has approved American's merger plan with US Airways, and the Justice Department challenge is now the only remaining hurdle.
The Justice Department also opposed the 2001 US Airways-United merger, which soon fell apart. But the agency didn't oppose the 2008 Delta-Northwest merger, the 2010 merger of United and Continental, or Southwest's acquisition of AirTran in 2011.
Some airline employees say that feels personal. "You can't combine all these guys and then say stop," said Bossi. "This is the second time they've done it."
Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, D.C. and Michigan have also joined the Justice Department in its lawsuit.
Roger Holmin, Association of Flight Attendants president, said he plans to tell lawmakers that blocking the merger will hurt employees.
"The DOJ has basically declared war on workers," said Holmin, who is based in Philadelphia and has an office in Charlotte. He's also meeting with state attorneys general, including those of North Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.
"They spend a lot of time talking about the consumer, and they overlook the fact that employees who stand to get gains once the merger is complete are also consumers," said Holmin.

As if the damage and stress caused by Hurricane Sandy wasn't enough for our area this week, many parents are being made frantic all over again by changing Halloween plans. The kids are ready for their candy, but is it safe for them to go out?
Several local municipalities have issued recommendations that residents postpone their trick-or-treating to give crews time to clear streets and make the area as safe as possible. Other municipalities have decided that's not their call.
In fact, Halloween trick-or-treating isn't managed or regulated by any local, state or federal body (though New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reportedly jokingly tweeted that, "If conditions are not safe on Wednesday for Trick or Treating, I will sign an Executive Order rescheduling.") The act of giving candy to children dressed up for Halloween is a neighborly pursuit. While Patch urges residents to consider their children's safety and heed their local governments warnings, residents are free to trick-or-treat whenever they wish. Or as one Facebook commentor put it on Tuesday:
"Because we live in the United States, you are allowed to go outside wearing a costume and to knock on your neighbors' doors to ask for candy. You are allowed to do this tomorrow. You are allowed to do this on January 9, April 21 and July 13. Tomorrow is merely the day when people are least likely to wonder what is wrong with you."
In any case, here's a list of what local municipalities have recommended for their residents in regards to Halloween trick-or-treating tonight:
- Norristown – Postpone trick-or-treating until Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5-8 p.m. ( P.U.P.S. will be handing out candy at Selma Mansion on Saturday from 5-7 p.m.)
- West Norriton – Postpone trick-or-treating until Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5-8 p.m.
- East Norriton – Postpone trick-or-treating until Saturday, Nov. 3.
- King of Prussia – Postpone trick-or-treating until Friday, Nov. 2.
- Bridgeport – No postponement. Trick-or-treating tonight.
- Plymouth – No postponement. Trick-or-treating tonight.
- Conshohocken – No postponement. Trick-or-treating tonight.
- Lower Providence – Postpone trick-or-treating until Friday, Nov. 2.
- Whitpain – No postponement. Trick-or-treating tonight. The township is also inviting parents to bring their children in costume to Wentz Run Park on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. for a Halloween parade and free candy.

The most effective way of giving breadth and balance to the Advanced Level curriculum is a General Studies course, and nearly all students take this subject at either AS or A Level in Year 13 to complement their other choices. The course is highly regarded by many university admission tutors in a wide range of subjects and is a demanding intellectual challenge.
This is a very interesting and challenging course which builds upon a base of knowledge acquired through studying a broad range of subjects at GCSE. Students will discuss the nature of knowledge, truth and belief and analyse data and information. The ability to evaluate a case, make informed judgements and reach justified conclusions will be developed.
Unit 1: Culture and Society
(1 hour 30 minutes exam)
A wide range of topics will be covered including: the role of art in society, major art works, beliefs, values and moral issues, the role of the media, the recognition of bias, freedom rights and responsibilities and the British political system.
Unit 2: Science and Society
(1 hour 30 minutes exam)
Important issues exploring the relationship between science and society will be studied. These will include the impact and social, ethical and environmental implications of scientific discoveries and inventions and the moral dilemmas surrounding the work of scientists will also be discussed. This unit will be assessed by a 1 hour 30 minute exam.
Unit 3: Culture and Society
(2 hour exam)
A number of interesting areas will be discussed and debated including: the role and responsibility of artists, the dilemmas and complexity of a multi-faith and pluralist society, the power of language and images to transmit, persuade or distort and the role of 'spin' and propaganda.
Unit 4: Science and Society
(2 hour exam)
Students will examine a number of important topics including: the contribution of science and technology to lifestyles in different societies, the solving of world problems through co-operation and intervention and be made aware of the approach of different social sciences to our understanding of people and problems.
Every employer or university department emphasises flexibility of thinking as a key criterion. General Studies as a qualification is not a direct link to any job or career, but the skills you practise and the knowledge you acquire are fundamental to every subject in the curriculum. In practical terms of UCAS entrance, success in this subject can be crucial in gaining you entrance to a wide variety of university courses.
No specific GCSE grades are required to study this subject at Advanced Level. If you have been accepted to study in our Sixth Form on a range of A Level courses, then you would automatically qualify to take General Studies.

Nebraska Wesleyan University has announced its new performance schedule for the 2010-2011 academic year.

a pair of fig jams
i'm still smitten with salt sugar smoke, diana henry's book on preserving. this weekend i decided to make fig jam – her recipe for fig and pomegranate jam has been teasing me ever since i got the book and i couldn't wait any longer to try it. the book also contains a variation, which pairs the fig with orange and cardamom so, given i managed to get some ripe figs at a cheap price, i decided to make both.
the two versions are quite different from each other but the thing they have in common is the freshness of the fig flavour, something which i wasn't expecting and definitely worth knowing if you're not a fan of overly sweet, almost dusty flavour that some fig preserves have.
the pomegranate has both pomegranate juice and pomegranate molasses within it, which results in a bright and not particularly sweet flavour (this is my favourite variation); the orange also avoids excess sweetness, with a definite citrus tang and i love the pockets of cardamom that you encounter every now and then.
a lovely pair of jams to make and lovely to share – my twelve figs made 6 jars in total so sharing is definitely on the cards – either as they are or as part of a cream tea (the third jam pictured is gooseberry and elderflower).

This office that serves the Greater Richmond, Virginia area has been owned and operated by Mark Sheets since 9/1/2005. Mark felt led to this work through his Christian faith after working as a Fortune 500 business executive for more than 20 years. "As I climbed the corporate ladder, I felt more and more of my time and energy were being spent on things that were not as important as they could be" says Mark. "It was a leap of faith, that God has continued to bless. Everything we do each day is to help people in a direct and meaningful way. We are also able to provide jobs to people that have a heart for helping other people. A true blessing."

- A well-nourished senior is more energetic, both physically and mentally.
- A safe senior lives in an environment that reduces the likelihood of accidents and promotes timely response when illness or accidents occur.
With our Interactive Caregiving approach, we are able to raise seniors' quality of life to a much higher level than typical in-home care providers.

Previously, I posted a video from Feminist Frequency describing the Mystical Pregnancy Trope. In Part 1 of this post, I described the instance in Doctor Who where the Mystical Pregnancy Trope worked well. In Part 2, I analyze where it went horribly, terribly wrong: Amy Pond's Schrodinger pregnancy and kidnapping in Series 6 of Doctor Who.
This use of the Mystical Pregnancy Trope very neatly checks off everything on the list of what makes the trope so terrible: lack of consent, lack of recovery, loss of identity, and the use of torture porn as entertainment.
Like Amy's first mystical pregnancy, this pregnancy is entirely natural in origin. However, it is not a dream, and more disturbingly, it is not entirely clear that it was consensual. It is important not to assume that every woman wants to become pregnant immediately after marriage, and given Amy's young age (21!) it's not unreasonable to suspect that she may have wanted to wait awhile before having kids. Remember in "The Impossible Astronaut" that when Amy tells the Doctor that she suspects she's pregnant; her expression is panicked, not excited. She later explains that she was concerned that travelling in the TARDIS would harm her unborn child, but it's not a stretch to imagine that she was not entirely ready to have a child. Regardless, the Silence deliberately create a condition in which Amy is not aware of —and therefore is unable to consent to — her pregnancy. This situation is compounded by the Doctor, who conducts numerous scans on Amy without her consent, and refuses to tell her that anything might be wrong.
In addition, Amy's character lacked a true recovery from her experience, in part because the show never acknowledges how truly traumatic the experience must have been for her. Two episodes later, Amy is back travelling with the Doctor as if nothing happened. The first glimpse we see that this experience traumatized her at all is in the premiere episode of "Asylum of the Daleks," in which we learn that Amy and Rory are in the middle of a divorce. For a moment I held out hope that this might finally be the moment where the show acknowledges the trauma this experience must have caused Amy, but nope. Instead, we learn about another trauma Amy experienced (forced sterilization?!), and instead of presenting it in the context of Amy being terribly traumatized and needing help, it is presented in the context of Amy being at fault for doubting Rory's love for her — again. Instead of acknowledging and addressing the new challenges the characters face, and allowing them to grow and change as a result, they are still fighting old battles from two series ago.
The worst part is that the stage was set for there to be acknowledgement of the trauma that Amy experienced. The lead up to the climactic twist revealing River Song as Amy and Rory's daughter had River telling the Rory that the Doctor would fall further than he ever has before, a tall order given that the Doctor has literally committed genocide multiple times. This was the Doctor's ultimate failure of a companion. Amy was kidnapped, violated, and had her child kidnapped, an experience so traumatic as to eclipse every other sin the Doctor has committed — and yet two episodes later he's forgiven and everybody's acting as if everything's back to normal. As a result, Amy's character growth is stunted.
Compounding this problem is the fact that Amy almost entirely loses her individual identity, and from this point on is almost always known as River Song's mother. Now, don't get me wrong, when a woman becomes a mother, it certainly becomes a large part of her identity, but even in episodes where River Song wasn't even remotely involved (*cough* A Town Called Mercy *cough*) there were frequent, almost inexplicable references to Amy as a mother, as if that was the sum of her new identity. Given the fact that River Song was introduced two years before Amy Pond, one can't help but think of the disturbing possibility that the character of Amy only ever existed in order to provide the origin story for River Song, who serves as the ultimate Messiah/Satan character for most of series six and seven. The lack of character development only reinforces that perception.
Now, before I describe how Amy's mystical pregnancy constitutes torture porn, I want you to watch the following scene, which takes place after Amy wakes up in Demon's Run having just discovered she's pregnant and in active labor.
Think about what you just saw: Amy, lying in nothing but a white hospital gown, trapped in an iron-lung-contraption, with a robotic eye looking up her gown. She looks down and sees that her body has completely changed, and she is now nine months pregnant. Imagine what she must be feeling right now. Even before the Doctor destroyed her Flesh doppleganger, she could feel her labor pains. Her body is about to go through one of the most painful experiences a human body can endure. She has just discovered she's been kidnapped, held hostage for months, is pregnant, and is going into labor all in the span of a few minutes, and now she's in terrible pain. The scene ends with a close-up on her face, as she gives a heart-rending, terrified, and tortured scream.
What you just watched is torture porn. It may be milder than is shown on other television shows that use the mystical pregnancy trope, but it is torture porn nonetheless. You have just watched a woman violated and in intense pain, and it has been presented to you as entertainment. To be clear, you are not supposed to like this scene. You are supposed to feel disturbed and uncomfortable. But because this scene serves no other purpose than to titillate the viewer in much the same way that a horror movie does, it is presented as entertainment. This creates a narrative that distorts pregnancy into torture porn to exploit women's terror for dramatic tension.
We cannot simply excuse this and pretend that this exists in a vacuum. Doctor Who forms a part of the public consciousness and contributes to the public narrative. Persephone Magazine has a fantastic piece about how the use of the Mystical Pregnancy Trope feeds into a public consciousness of pregnancy that almost entirely ignores the existence of the mother, which in turn inspires dangerous legislation that allows for arrests and forced interventions on pregnant women. Women are not defined by their ability to become pregnant, but neither are we unaffected by it. We do not lose our identities, and we should not lose our autonomy.
I am all for discussing challenging topics, and even for creating disturbing scenes to address those topics, but what I see presented here feels exploitative. How does this challenge our perceptions of pregnancy? How does this make us critically assess our world? Doctor Who has the remarkable ability to turn the mirror back onto our world, reflecting the beauty and horror all around us, yet here the use of the Mystical Pregnancy Trope does nothing but feed into a narrative that harms women and exploit our deepest fears.
I agree with a lot of this whovianfeminism article - this trope was handled quite clumsily IMO. Not for a moment would I...
These are all the very well made points against the mystical pregnancy trope as played out in Amy Pond's forced...

Ingrid Jonker: a poet's life
Petrovna Metelerkamp
hemel & see
INGRID Jonker: a poet's life is not — in the strictest sense — a biography. Petrovna Metelerkamp has abdicated the role of biographer in favour of amassing a selection of source materials — letters, diary entries, memoirs, newspaper articles, interviews and poems — and presenting them in a glossy A4 publication, boasting numerous photographs and a variety of fonts.
The result is a handsome, visually stimulating product, which makes considerable demands on the reader, who is recast as researcher and must exercise the skills required of that role.
Fortunately, the material is absorbing and the chronological information prefacing the book provides a helpful framework for what follows.
The figure that emerges in these pages is a troubled, intense, often difficult personality, driven to write, desperately searching — through a number of stormy relationships — for love, and moving inexorably towards her suicide on the night of July 18, 1965, at the age of 31.
Jonker's suicide turned her into a cult figure — the young, gifted Afrikaans poet who, given her unstable personality, the sum of her experiences of life and an accumulation of personal physical, financial and emotional problems, particular to 1965, walked into the sea at Three Anchors Bay, in the Cape, and, in drowning, became South Africa's version of the doomed Sylvia Plath.
In his tribute to her, fellow poet and central love of her life, Jack Cope, claimed: " ...poets ... are not buried with their bodies, but remain to shake and confuse us, to awaken the living ..."
Posthumously, a number of collections of Jonker's poems have been published.
In 1994, Nelson Mandela elected to read her poem, The Child who was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga (1960), at the opening of Parliament. The reading of the poem, not only by Mandela, but also, earlier, in Harare, 1987, by Oliver Tambo, has contributed further to Jonker's iconic status in the post-Apartheid dispensation.
Jonker's childhood was marked by her parents' separation, her mother's protracted illnesses and death, a damaging relationship with her father, whose views on race, lifestyles and censorship clashed with her own, and frequent moves.
Although she married in 1954 (aged 21) and had a daughter, the union was fraught, and, on leaving her husband, she pursued relationships with a number of men, notably writers, Jack Cope and André Brink, and the young artist, Herman van Nazareth.
Her collection of poems, Onvlugting, was published in 1956; and her second, the award-winning, Rook en Oker, in 1963.
Her posthumous life — including further publications and the tribute, In Memoriam Ingrid Jonker, a compilation by literati friends — began after her second funeral on July 25, 1965, an attempt by those close to her to redress the farce of the family funeral staged on July 22, and memorable for the palpable grief of Jack Cope.
He must surely have felt the weight of Jonker's own words: "My hand of dust/cannot protect you" (I Lament You); and the seemingly prophetic: "My body lies washed ashore in seaweed and grass" (Escape).

RE: John Stroman
I went ahead and added him. His wife and daughter are buried there and are already on the site. Both have stones - he probably doesn't. Looks like his uncle is buried there also, with members of his family. The family lived on S. Arlington when Charles died, which is probably why he was buried at East Akron, it being the closest cemetery.

FLORENCE — The wins may be ugly but they continue to come for North Alabama.
UNA suffered through a miserable day offensively and gave up 18 offensive rebounds to West Alabama, yet still managed to escape with a 74-70 victory Saturday at Flowers Hall.
It was the third consecutive win for UNA (14-3, 7-2 GSC), which is tied with Alabama-Huntsville for first place in the Gulf South Conference halfway though league play.
"That was ugly, but I'm not going to complain about it," said junior guard Wes Long, who hit two crucial free throws in the final seconds to seal the win. "It's been a long time since we've played 40 good minutes. I'm just glad we seem to always do whatever it takes to win."
Bruce Adams scored 21 points, while DeAndre Hersey had 14 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Lions, who finished with a season-low seven turnovers.
West Alabama (7-9, 3-6) hurt UNA with its powerful inside game, finishing with a 51-38 rebounding advantage. The Tigers led almost all of the first half and much of the second half before UNA rallied late.
"West Alabama played great," coach Bobby Champagne said. "We knew we would have a tough time matching up with their big guys. It was an ugly win because West Alabama played so hard and took us out of the things we want to do."
The Tigers led by as many as nine in the first half before settling for a 37-34 halftime lead. UNA finally regained the lead near the midway mark of the first half when Nathan Spehr and Long hit back-to-back treys in an 8-0 spurt that put the Lions up 50-44.
West Alabama responded and reclaimed the lead twice before another 3-pointer by Long put UNA up for good at 56-54.
"We settled for a lot of tough shots in the first half instead of attacking and creating for each other," Long said. "We did a better job betting the ball inside in the second half, which opened up the outside game."
The Lions were not able to put the Tigers away. West Alabama pulled within one with just over five minutes left, but Adams hit two free throws and scored on a layup to push the margin to 62-57. The Tigers again pulled within three on two occasions, but Adams made another layup and Hersey hit two free throws to make it 69-63 with 49.9 seconds to play.
UNA made 9 of 12 free throws in the final three minutes and were 29 of 35 overall at the line.
"We were more aggressive in the second half and that got us to the line," Champagne said. "Bruce and DeAndre both were able to stay out of foul trouble and play a lot of minutes, which was huge."
Long finished with 11 points off the bench for UNA. Sandy Underwood paced West Alabama with 20 points and 14 rebounds.
"Our bench outscored their bench 22-2," Champagne said. "Wes, Nathan and Tyler all hit some big shots and Jere (Vucica) had a crucial rebound late.
"It was an ugly win, but at the end of the season you don't think of it as ugly — you just see it as a win."
UNA will be on the road this week for games at West Florida on Thursday and Valdosta State on Saturday.

Jan 18, 2014An excellent game, bought the PC version. Saw it released on the Wii-U and picked it up. I'm putting a lot more time into the Wii-U version. I find the inventory on the gamepad easier to work with, especially when shifting between weapons. Unepic does a good job of mixing classic RPG, Questing, Platforming and Crafting. The game play is more on the casual side with lots of humor (teen/adult) in the mix.… Expand
Jan 24, 2014Unepic is about as far from actually being, erm, unepic as you can possibly imagine. Having released here in the UK only a few short days ago, I perhaps unsurprisingly couldn't find much in the way of reliable reviews through the usual channels, but having been genuinely intrigued by it's backstory and eShop trailer, I decided to take a punt on Unepic anyway. And long story short, I'm absolutely thrilled that I did, because this game is really rather special.
I'll endeavour to leave more detailed impressions once I've finished the game, and experienced at least two of it's three different endings. In the meantime however, I just wanted to write a line or two for those still on the fence as whether to grab this one or not. Well, as you might have guessed, my advice on the matter is overwhelmingly straightforward -- if you're a fan of 2D metroidvania-style games, platformers, RPG's, adventures, exploration, or just plain old addictive gameplay, then this ones a no-brainer, and you should jump right into Unepic with confidence. Yep, this one is an absolute belter!
Hope this helps!… Expand
Feb 4, 2014Unepic is an interesting, well designed game that really appeals to my enjoyment of exploration in videogames. The Wii U interface using the touchpad makes playing the game very fluid. The writing is a little weak in places, and the combat is a bit basic, but it's definitely something that will soak up a lot of time if you like exploring in games.
May 23, 2014Surprisingly long game, easily over 20 hours, it can be really challanging at times. A true "indie" game that's not perfect but has lots of heart. It has multiple languages support, and plays better on Wii than on Pc thans to the gamepad to manage the huuuge amount of itens and spells.
Mar 24, 2014This is a fantastic platforming RPG. with comical references to D&D to Spaceballs. I've thoroughly enjoyed this game especially after the recent update. And no you don't play only on the gamepad.... This is a full game for a great price. Try the game, you'll enjoy it!
Feb 27, 2014A fun game but be warned you play on your Wii U pad not your TV. This is not a bad thing but it could have been better full screen. The game is fun and like a mix of Mario and Zelda games. Chests, swords, enamies.
Jul 7, 2014I love this game. I am on my third play through. The first time I tried it on Hard +. Then I started over on Hard ++, but when I got to the end I found it IMPOSSIBLE. So now I've started over on Hard + and I hope to finish it. Once I lit the first torch, I was hooked. Sort of like in Shovel Knight - as soon as you dig that first mound of gems you are addicted to the game.
Mar 7, 2014Requires a forgiving gamer to see it from start to end. [March 2014, p.78]
Mar 6, 2014Unepic is a solid game that holds up very well throughout. It offers up a stiff challenge, while maintaining a sound sense of humour, and will go down especially well with those of us that remember (or still play) all-night Dungeons & Dragons sessions.
Feb 25, 2014It is a work with a satisfying narrative projection, based on good moments of humor, right battle system and fully adjusted to the GamePad Wii U.

"Number one, we have got to bring our Lubbock police department to full strength," Beane said.
On Friday's edition of Lubbock's First News, Lubbock city Councilman Paul Beane talked with Chad Hasty and Rex Andrew about his re-election campaign for city council District 4.
Ellerbrook was not chosen for a promotion amidst another lawsuit between her husband Terry Ellerbrook and the City in February of 2007.

"The Maria Elena Holly contract I don't think is a particularly good contract," Gerlt said.
On Thursday's edition of Lubbock's First News, Jim Gerlt, candidate for Lubbock City Council District 4, talked with Chad Hasty and Rex Andrew about his views on current city council issues and why he should be elected to the city council.
Paul Beane or Jim Gerlt? Who do you support?
Glen Robertson and new District 6 Councilwoman Latrelle Joy both took the oath of office Saturday morning.

Homemade Ice Cream Recipes
Coconut Peach Popsicle Recipe
Here's a refreshing, healthy treat for you to enjoy this summer. We made coconut peach popsicles using peaches from our garden and fresh coconuts. The popsicles are made out of a blend of puréed peaches, diced peaches, coconut milk, fresh coconut water, fresh shredded coconut, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey and vanilla beans.
You can't go wrong with these frozen treats. Plus, they're vegan! Depending on what fruit you have available, be creative and combine the fruits and spices you like.

Vol au Vent Filled with Cherry Ice Cream
I love the combination of dark Morello cherries and balsamic vinegar. Since I have balsamic cherry vinegar from Bellindora on hand, I thought I would use the pairing in a dish. I made cherry vol au vent drizzled with Bellindora balsamic cherry chocolate sauce. If you've had balsamic syrup with fruits in the past, you will certainly love this uncommon flavoring as the balsamic cherry vinegar brings out the flavor of the sweet cherries.
The vol au vent consists of a puff pastry cup that is formed using two different sizes of cookie cutters. I filled it with homemade dark Morel ice cream. As you can see from the photo, I should have been more patient and waited for the ice cream to harden a bit in the freezer and not transfer the churned cherry ice cream directly from the ice cream machine to the cooled puff pastry. Live and learn...

Frozen Dessert Ideas
According to Wikipedia, Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984. He also appointed the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream in the United States (90% of the nation's population consumes ice cream).
Mother Nature is finally smiling on us in Northern California, let's hope she'll continue to supply us with a good excuse to consume our favorite frozen treat.

Goat Milk Ice Cream with Molasses Syrup Swirl
You've probably noticed, I'm addicted to anything and everything goat. Whether it's goat ricotta cheese, goat cheese Gouda or simple chèvre, I cannot get enough of goat's milk unique flavor profile. I often use goat dairy products in savory dishes, but I thought it would be fun to experiment with goat milk in desserts. After some thought, it occurred to me that there is no better showcase for goat milk than making ice cream.
I made a simple custard using goat milk and chilled it overnight. I churned the ice cream and finished it with swirls of molasses and raisin syrup. The result was silky, delicious and not too rich. I've heard that goat milk is more easily digestible than regular cow's milk, which is good for the lactose-intolerant members of my family. The only downside: there wasn't enough to feed everyone!

Earl Grey Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe
I made Earl Grey ice cream sandwiches today with homemade Earl Grey tea ice cream. One member in my family is allergic to eggs, so this recipe suits her perfectly, as no eggs are involved in this dessert. I used chocolate chip Walkers shortbread cookies, which are eggless as well. At the same time, I thought I'd experiment a bit in advance of my little munchkin's big birthday party at the end of the month. She's been such a good girl, helping me out all week long since she's on vacation. I thought this would be the perfect treat to reward her because the sandwiches are perfect for little hands and fingers!
I absolutely adore the flavor combination; the bergamot in Earl Grey tea has a truly distinctive flavor which, -interestingly- tastes almost like Fruit Loops cereal when mixed in ice cream batter. For convenience, and because they taste great, I made ice cream sandwiches using packs of Walkers chocolate chip cookies. If you have time, you could also make homemade chocolate chip cookies for the sandwiches.

Layered Rugs
The other day we looked at a bunch of rooms that went unexpectedly without rugs or carpets, embracing a relaxed bare-floor look. Today let's go in the opposite direction: what does it look like when one rug just isn't enough.
The most common look for layering rugs seems to be an animal hide (faux or no) over a sisal — this is probably the most neutral option. Other examples mix patterns and colors, sometimes creating a bohemian wonderland of textiles. Dusty, perhaps, but cozy and romantic!

I love layered rugs - the only downside is you have to be able to afford multiple rugs :(
if you had a room like #1, anything will look pretty...no rug, one rug or triple rug..lol
I've seen this done well, but generally I think it's too cluttered looking.
I agree with SweetVirginia. I really don't think it looks very good at all.
I do like how it looks. On the other hand, I would worry about tripping on all those rugs.
LOVE the striped sofa in pic #5...source?
I like it in pictures, but I have feeling you'd be tripping over the layers, and it feels very staged. Reminds me of the Beatles rooftop concert.
I like the "Just Bone Me" poster above the bed in picture #6. Tee hehe! I like the look and idea, but I don't think its practical.
I understand the necessity of this look when you have a rented space with hideous beige carpet, but when that's not a concern it just looks like the floor is wearing too many clothes.
I hate this.
Always looks like a rug showroom to me. Plus uneven furniture and the chance of tripping? No thanks.
I love this look. One thing to take into account, though, is that it will make a small room look smaller. Better in a bigger space... except that rugs are expensive and then you need more rugs.
mixed feelings
I do this
I tried this with a bunch of small 2x3 Persian-print rugs. Needless to say it didn't work out, they kept getting kicked out of position. I love the look though, but as others have remarked it's definitely cost-prohibitive. If you used floppy worn antique rugs instead of brand new ones it would probably reduce tripping issues.
I like the idea of it, but I can't quite figure out the cleaning part of it. Do you have to lift up each rug to vacuum all the layers? Seems like a lot of extra work when just one rug would do.
I like the idea when they aren't the same style of rugs otherwise it looks too patchworky. I love it when they are similar scale, especially when the top rug is animal hide (my grandparents have an animal hide rug... so I think that's where it comes from).
I <3 Jenna Lyons' home (pic one)
Really creative. I'll have to play around with it. Suddenly my SO and I have a surplus of rugs, lol.. Otherwise, down in storage, I suppose.
Thanks for the examples though. Some are incredibly effective.

How To Start Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking is a lot more than cute ways to display pictures—it's about storytelling. Scrapbook pages tell the story of people's lives, and preserve them for posterity. Don't let the fear of messing up stop you—you've got all the basic steps right here!
Bring Your Photos Out of Hiding
When photos are just sitting around, they don't tell a story. Imagine finding a long-lost family picture. What would you want to know about the people in the picture? Keep these thoughts in mind as you start scrapbooking.
The Start of The Story
This page is about an important place for my family. A few years ago the park was vandalized and burned down; now my kids will always remember how it looked before the fire. Journaling tells the story in your own words and your own handwriting.
Choose An Album
You'll need a basic supplies. The most common album sizes are 12×12-inches, 8.5×11-inches, and 6×6-inches. Some people go for larger size albums, as it gives more space on each scrapbook page. Smaller ones are perfect for event-specific scrapbooks.
Pick a Glue
Adhesives will help your photos stick around for years to come, so you want to be sure to use an acid-free kind (acid can speed up the deterioration of photos). Some of the most popular adhesives are photo squares, removable glue dots, and craft glue.
Pick Your Paper
There are so many choices, collecting scrapbooking paper can become an addiction. There's themed paper for babies, girls, boys, holidays, sports, and just about anything you can think of (and in any color). Scrapbook.com and A Cherry On Top have a big selection.
These extras include stickers, yarn, buttons, glitter, safety pins, and pretty much whatever sticks. They enhance your pages, and add an extra-personal touch. Some love glitter and totally bling out their pages. Other people are into tags. Don't hold back!
Layout Inspiration
Find ideas for how to lay out your pages in books, magazines, and websites. Craft stores often have sample layouts displayed. Websites with loads of inspiration: Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbook.com, and Two Peas In A Bucket.
Photo Credit: Basic Grey Collections
Coordinating It All
To begin your layout for a page, choose four to eight photos that tell a story. Pick a few colors from the pictures and choose coordinating paper and embellishments. There is a lot of orange in my pictures here, so I went with papers and stickers with lots of orange.
Plan the Layout
Lay your photos out on the paper to see how they best fit before you do any gluing. I often put mine in the order that they happened at the event. This layout tells the story of a trip my family won to see a concert; I wanted to show the before, during, and after.
Adhering Photos
If corners and edges are securely stuck to the paper, the pictures will stay put. Start with less adhesive than you think you need. I added a purple diamond to the center of both background papers to show that they belong together.
Journaling is a key step in telling your story. Include the who, what, when, where, and why, along with how the people in the pictures felt. Have others weigh in for a different perspective. Make sure whatever pens and markers you use are acid-free.
Finishing Touches
Now, put on your embellishments. Even stickers with words can say a lot. Adding a title will give your audience a quick idea of what the story. Make a mistake? No worries! It makes it even more real. There you go, you scrapbooking pro, you. Have fun!
How to Make a Photo AlbumMaking this photo album to give away as a gift to grandparents or to share with friends, will help you brag in a stylish way. The handy size will be large enough to fill with plenty of photos and small enough to carry in your handbag or diaper bag.view gallery

Deputies with the York County Sheriff's Office are investigating two incidents of stolen gas that cost a local gas station over 1,000 gallons of fuel.
Both thefts happened at the Flying J gas station on Mount Holly Road, and both involved the thieves "opening the pump and making it pump for free," according to the official report.
The first incident happened on April 26 around 3:30 p.m. Deputies say the manager of the store reported that two white vans modified the pumps and took 1,000 gallons of gas.
The vans reportedly had tanks inside the cabs that the thieves pumped the gas into.
The vans, both driven by men only described as black males, were a white Chevrolet van and a white Ford van.
The second incident happened on May 9. The manager of the store reported to deputies that another vehicle, a black Chevrolet Suburban, stole 25 gallons of gas.
In the second incident, the manager told deputies the thief was one of the men from the first, and that he also "broke into the pump and made it pump for free," the report states.
Deputies say all three license plate numbers came back to Charlotte addresses.
Anyone with information about either incident or men should call the York County Sheriff's Office at (803) 628-3059, or Crimestoppers of York County at 1-877-409-4321.
