Just started listening. So far it's got a great sound. More similar to Ta Det Lungt than the earlier stuff, which makes me happy.
what is this arcade of fire that you speak of?
i'm certain they played some of these tracks when I saw them at the Glasshouse.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
i really love Tio Bitar. I've listened to it 3 or 4 times and its remaining awesome!

I regret missing Dungen last year. That FIDM girl who broke my heart turned me on to them a few months ago. When DUngen played last year, I was seeing the Go! Team instead. The new Dungen album comes out May 1, 2007. I can't wait.
I'm sorry you missed them too. They were amazing.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
One of my worst mistakes ever. I am sure they will tour on their own.
Is this thread official?
new album? cant find it on oink!
That picture has NOTHING to do with Dungen. At least my posts are mostly on topic.
What the hell I'm bumping this. Seeing them in less than 2 weeks! I like the new album, more of the same fuzzy happy flutey psychedelia stuff.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
They were the only band at all of ATP that I really didn't care for.
5/22 - The Cure - Hollywood Bowl
5/31 - Brian Jonestown Massacre - Teragram (?)
6/07 - Chelsea Wolfe - Teragram (?)
6/14 - Silver Apples - Troubadour
6/16 - John Carpenter - Orpheum
last.fm, if you care
Twitter, if you dare
You have made me very sad. Very sad, indeed.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
How the hell do you pronounce their name?
I thought they were pretty good. Not amazing like most of the other bands, but worth watching.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Thank you. That's what I thought and was saying when talking about them, but wasn't sure.
Amy, I adored them at ATP. I'm still kicking myself for not bringing the camera this year...I could have zoomed in on their nostrils, had I wanted to. Though it was nice to be that close and just watch the band and listen.
in 2 weeks I get to see em' twice! Once at the Casbah then next night out in Pioneertown which is a old western town in the high desert! Can't wait!

We don't hear from the grooms all that often which makes this gentleman's story special from the start. But the way he describes the "most amazing day of his life" and his breathtaking wife, well, it brought tears to my eyes. Becca Lea captured every moment of their special day and thanks to her pics, our VAULT just got a major boost of Texas glam gorgeousness – see it all this way!
From the Groom… The day I married Amanda was by far the most amazing day of my life. It was the culmination of a beautiful journey we had started four years prior and it ended up being everything we wanted it to be. I began that beautiful July day arriving at the mansion where our ceremony and reception would be taking place. I remember Amanda seeing the mansion for the first time and saying this is where we HAVE to get married. We hadn't even walked inside, but I knew our search for a venue was over. The mansion encompassed all the things we wanted; a beautiful outdoor ceremony location, a reception space by the pool, and an on-site groom and bride's suite that were large enough to accommodate our wedding party of 20. The flower girl even asked if princesses lived in the mansion.
We had decided to do a first look and I remember when Becca called me up to get ready for it I was so excited I could barely stand it. Amanda had kept every aspect about her wedding day look a secret, but knowing her there was no doubt that she would be a perfect combination of glamorous and classic. I could not wait to see the woman of my dreams in her wedding dress. I stood with my back turned waiting on her to walk up to me, I could hear her footsteps and excited laughter as her approach came near, I had a smile from ear to ear before I even laid eyes on her and when I finally did she looked more breathtaking than I could have ever imagined. I was a little hesitant about the first look in the beginning, but I would definitely do it again. It was such an intimate moment that we got to share before saying "I do."
After pictures we waited for the ceremony to begin. I walked down to the big oak tree in front of the mansion where our ceremony was going occur. Amanda and I wanted the ceremony to be simple and intimate, so even the people that didn't know us well would be able to feel the love we have for each other. Once, everyone was in position the stringed musicians began to play "At Last" by Etta James and I could see Amanda begin her walk with her father. Once I saw her it seemed as though everything else in the entire place faded away, it was just me and her. That was the happiest moment of my life thus far. I was so thankful that my college roommate and close friend, Brian, was able to officiate our wedding. He did an amazing job at making our ceremony personal and fun while telling our story. We decided to write our vows, something I was quite nervous about prior to the ceremony but once it began it just flowed out so natural and easy, I didn't feel nervous at all, I was just so happy to be marrying this amazing woman and everything just felt so right up there.
After the ceremony we made our way to the reception. The theme that Amanda had put together looked great; it was a perfect balance of who we were, I believe she called it "Texas Glam." It makes me laugh just writing that but it summed the look and feel up great; a backyard Texas environment with all the glamour and beauty that my wife brings to everything she touches. We could not have asked for a more beautiful venue and night. Surrounded by our family and friends we danced the night away and celebrated our love, it was night I will never forget and always cherish.
Peruse more Texas weddings here!

Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold in NJ
New Jersey lottery officials say a Mega Millions ticket that's worth $65.7 million was sold at a store in northern New Jersey.
Carole Hedinger, the lottery's executive director, says the sole winning ticket for Friday's drawing was sold at Lisa's Angel Corp., a deli in Orange. The overall jackpot was $89 million, but the purchaser gets less because they chose the cash option in matching five numbers and the Mega Ball.
The winning numbers drawn were 11, 12, 17, 31 and 48. The Mega Ball number was 1.
Besides the big winner, lottery officials say three other tickets sold in New Jersey matched four numbers and the Mega Ball. Those tickets are worth $10,000 each.
Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is $12 million.

I have been behind on comments lately and I am so sorry. I do have a chunk of time scheduled this weekend to devote to everyone who is nice enough to read ts | tb and leave feedback. I even have it notated on my calendar because I am weirdly OCD very organized.
The main reason that I have been out of pocket {besides Big Kid's FOUR baseball games this week}, is because I had two newspaper articles due this week and once those were submitted, I was working in the yard. The good news is that all the dead plants are up, planting is almost completed, and all of my beds have a brand new layer of mulch. The bad news is that yesterday the Little Kid was helping me deadhead my prize Julia Child rosebush and lost her balance and fell in. It. Was. Awful. Her arm and hands are scratched up but luckily I was there to grab her before she scratched her face. I think that my scream frightened her more than anything. My rosebush is now horseshoe-shaped.
The patio spruce up is coming along nicely and we enjoyed several meals al fresco this week. A little outdoor inspiration for ya~
I went with red accents on our patio for a pop of color, but I am still looking for outdoor lanterns and I love the ice blue in this set. Pictures of all of my outdoor escapades coming soon!
Have a great weekend! I am off to dig in the yard a bit, and take a Family Zumba class at the YMCA with the Little Kid. This is going to be fun!

Looking for a traditional Thai restaurant where Thai chefs prepare every dish from scratch to bring you an authentic, uncompromised taste of Thailand?
Look no further than Chokdee Thai Cuisine, conveniently located in both Nelson and Motueka.
Owner Sakawduean Muangthong says that people are often under the impression that Thai food is very hot and spicy, but in fact, Chokdee caters for all palates - from mild through to those who like their favourite Pad Thai extra hot. Families are enthusiastically welcomed as many of the dishes (such as the chicken satay) are mild, tasty and very popular with children.
"Thai food is a combination of flavours that are all important and not be disguised," says Sakawduean. She adds that many people get hooked on Thai food because of its delicious aroma and because the dishes are low in fat and not overcooked. At Chokdee, every dish is prepared only when the chef receives the order, so the vegetables are always perfectly tender and full of flavour.
The emphasis is on using the very freshest ingredients, because that is how they would prepare food in Thailand the traditional way. For Sakawduean, this means creating everything from scratch – the curry bases, the sauces and condiments – and sticking to their policy of "if it comes in a jar we won't use it".

Accessories such as cables provide retailers with huge profit margins, usually above 50%, which is why salespeople
always try to "enhance your home theater experience" by tacking a $100 Monster component cable onto your purchase of a
$75 DVD player (for more unscrupulous sales conduct, please see
"the cheese"). Up until now we've had neither the proper
equipment nor the motivation to test the effectiveness of these high-priced cables—that is, until Belkin announced
their new RazorVision HDMI and DVI cables with built-in, adjustable video processors, which let you view side-by-side,
on-screen comparisons of an enhanced versus a non-enhanced picture. Belkin claims that these new cables in their
Pure|AV line are the first on the market with these included video-enhancement processors (first used in medical,
industrial, and military applications), which supposedly clean up any type of digital signal. If you were expecting
high prices for these lil' wonders, you were right: 8-feet will set you back $250 while 16-feet of enhancing-goodness
costs an even $300.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Catecholamines
Catecholamines are hormones made chiefly by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys. The main catecholamines are adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and dopamine.
Catecholamines increase heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, muscle strength, and mental alertness. They also reduce the amount of blood going to the skin and increase blood flow to the major organs, such as the brain, heart, and kidneys. Catecholamines are often released into the bloodstream in response to stress or fright and prepare the body for "fight-or-flight."
Inotropic medicines, such as dobutamine, mimic the action of catecholamines in the heart and can help strengthen the heartbeat.

I guess it's also safe for me to write about my loaner pair.
A big thank you to Sennheiser for allowing me to borrow and listen to their new headphones. I will be sending them back soon and am indeed sorry to let them go.
I will be writing a more in-depth and lengthy review later on.
I spent quite a few hours listening to them. IMHO they are completely worthy of being called the baby brother to the HD800. They share a very similar sound signature while remaining very different. The HD800 sounds like it has more top end and a smoother top end at that. The HD700 has more of a peak around 6,000 - 7,000 cycles making them sound a bit harsh with certain types of music and is most prominent on cymbal hits and certain "shh" vocal sounds. They are an improvement over the HD6x0's in certain areas but make no argument about it....the HD800 remains the better headphone.
The weight of the headphones is remarkable. Very light and at times, it really does feel like you have nothing on. This is a big plus for those of you who have long listening sessions. Fit might be an issue for some as the headband doesn't adjust very well....at least the one on the loaner paid did not.
The inevitable questions, as can already be seen in this thread, is whether or not they are better than the LCD-3, LCD-2, HE500, T1 and other headphones priced at or near the HD700. You can't really compare the HD700 to the orthodynamics as they are a very different technology. The HD700 will not match the slam and low end of any orthodynamic. The midrange is not as lush or as fast as the orthodynamics. In the end, it will come down to YOUR individual preferences and desires. Are the HD700's the next best thing? No. Are they bad? No. The HD700's are decent headphones with some futuristic styling that provides a sound signature very similar but not equal to the HD800. If you can't afford an HD800 but desire a very similar sound at a slightly more affordable price, then the HD700 should be it for you.

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Paper
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Los Angeles was 14th in the National League in home runs last season. Grant it, Rod Barajas and Juan Uribe aren't sexy signings, but they add pop to the lineup. The organization got pitching depth to put behind Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley with the re-signings of Ted Lilly and Hiroki Kuroda and the signing of Jon Garland.

Thread: Setting up a 40 gallon long
Setting up a 40 gallon long
I am picking up a 40 gallon long tomorrow that I am getting a great deal on. I am not planing on getting it going right away. I need to gather the rest of what I need for it. It is going to be a planted tank for sure. That's all I know for now.
Questions I have are should I go with a canister filter of some sort? I was looking at the Fluval 406 is that enough or should I consider something else? I know nothing about canister filters so is there anything special I need to consider when looking at them?
What's the general opinion on inline heaters? Love em or hate em? If so what's a good one for my setup? Or if not inline then what? If I go with an in tank heaer should I go with 1 or 2?
I was thinking about going with a 48" Nova Extreme SLR 108w T5ho fixture. I have the 24" model on my 20gal tank and love it.
I am also thinking of getting a couple of the truelumen led moon lights to link up for a nice evening light.
Anything I am overlooking? Or that I should do differently?
0If I was to go with 2 HOB filters which are the best to use? AC 70's enough? Or should i go bigger?
02 Ac70s should be fine for the tank. Or a canister an HOB combo, you can have a fluval 306 and an AC70.
Inline heaters, though i never have had them, i think they are generally better than others as you'll get more even heating through-out the tank.
the T5-HO are alright, or i guess it all depends on what plants you will have. 108w of lighting for that much height is i think very high and you might need CO2 for that.
and lastly, i don't like having night lights, though if you want one then go ahead. Though you should only open this light when you want to watch the fish at night, don't always leave it open as the fish needs total darkness as well.
hope that helps.Da name's Paul. Not Dave. ROFL
Learn to give and take. That's how things should always work.
0Any other thoughts out there? I really want to make sure we do this one right and not have to go back and fix things. I am even going to do a fishless cycle this time. Trying to learn from the mistakes made with our 20 gallon tank.

The Break Presents: Breezay
Standout: "50 Ways"
Also check out: "Where I'm From"
And:"Move N My Shoes"
Name: Breezay
Age: 26
Where I'm from: Baltimore, Maryland
I've been rapping since: My mama would probably tell you since the womb. But I've been really grinding since 2008. That was when my other options went out the window and I decided it was DO OR DIE for me. I ain't look back since.
My style has been compared to: Wale, but I think people say that because we're both from the DMV. But my influences are wide. I've studied and been influenced by Pac, Nas, Kanye, Jay, Andre 3000, TIP, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Biggie, Jeezy, Snoop, Ross, DMX and Dr. Dre.
My standout moments have been: My #TURNTUPTUESDAYS series I had running online. Every Tuesday for six months I dropped freestyles over the hottest beats in the industry, and I attacked every one like my life depended on it. I'm locked in right now. Another standout moment was performing at AFRAM 2012 in my hometown. Thousands of people were out there. A lot of energy. And finally, my FLAGSHIP mixtape which drops 12.12.12. It's a CLASSIC!
I'm gonna change the game by: Being different. Being something that the world hasn't seen before. I'm from Baltimore for God sakes.

Quentin Blake designs Christmas cards for Survival
Illustrator and and Survival supporter Quentin Blake has designed cards for Survival's Christmas catalogue © Survival |
The world's best-loved illustrator Quentin Blake has designed three exclusive Christmas cards for Survival's 2010 Christmas catalogue.
The three designs inspired by tribal peoples, are sold as part of Survival's popular Christmas card range. Unusually for a charity, Survival publishes its own cards which means all of the income goes to them, and not just a few pennies, helping to fund their vital work for tribal peoples.
Quentin Blake said: "I am delighted to help Survival again this year. Survival is important for two reasons. One is that I think it's right that we should give help and support to people who are threatened by the rapacious industrial society we have created. The other that it gives an important signal about how we ought to be looking after the world. Its message is the most fundamental of any charity I'm connected with."
The 'Quentin Blake for Survival' Christmas cards come in a trio pack of 12, four cards each of three designs with white envelopes. Card size: 14 × 14cm. 50% recycled, 50% FSC. They are available to buy from www.survivalinternational.org/shop price £5.99 per pack. Buy four, get a fifth free.

Invasion is one of the six add-on games for the Odyssey released in 1972. It requires game cards #4, #5, and #6 originally supplied with the system.The game is heavily based on the classic board game Risk. The fantasy world is represented as a number of countries on the included game board, and players try to conquer their opponents' castles. The console is used to battle out attack and defense.
A player can either choose to sneak into the castle by trying to blindly move her player spot to the gates, or attack directly by maneuvering the game ball around the defensive player. Once inside the castle, she has to try to destroy the tower defense by estimating where the ball spot will land on the screen.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - AJ McCarron is 8-0 as Alabama's starting quarterback. He has thrown 10 touchdown passes with only three interceptions.
But when he steps behind center in Saturday night's epic showdown against No. 1 LSU, the 6-foot-4, 205-pound sophomore from Mobile, Ala., could find himself charged with leading a game-winning drive or protecting a tight late lead for the first time in his young career.
"AJ has been confident in himself, and the players are confident in him," senior receiver Marquis Maze said. "I think he's ready."
McCarron, who served as Greg McElroy's backup last year, barely won the starting job in a heated battle with redshirt freshman Phillip Sims that lasted beyond fall camp. He hasn't looked back.
The first-time starter has completed 67 percent of his passes and ranks second in the Southeastern Conference with a passer efficiency rating of 150.39.
In an Oct. 8 rout of Vanderbilt, he tossed four touchdown passes, second-best in school history.
From late in the season opener until early in Alabama's eighth game, he went 152 straight pass attempts without throwing an interception.
But he can't touch the experience LSU will throw on the field Saturday with seniors Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson having combined for 44 college starts. He hasn't even tasted the pressures of a close game yet.
"I think he's handled himself appropriately in every game and has been effective in every game," senior tight end Brad Smelley said. "He's a leader. He's shown poise this whole game in every game and played well."
Coach Nick Saban, however, has given McCarron very few opportunities to talk about it.
Saban has made McCarron available for interviews only after two games this season and not once during any of Alabama's game weeks. Saban was asked last month why he has instituted a true freshman-like media policy with his starting quarterback.
"My sense of it is the more you ask, the worse your chances are gonna get," he said. "The best thing to do is let the sleeping dog lie."
Teammates say even though Saban is blocking him from the interview room, McCarron controls the huddle like a seasoned field general.
They know they could need him against an LSU team that ranks third nationally in run defense and will surely set its sights on stopping Heisman Trophy candidate Trent Richardson. They know they could need him to win a championship down the road.
No team has ever won a BCS national title with a freshman or sophomore as its primary quarterback.
McCarron, who has passed for 1,644 yards, could help the Crimson Tide take a huge step toward becoming the first if he manages Saturday's stakes.
"The passing game is always big for us, because people always like to load the box for Trent," junior tight end Michael Williams said.
"But we're going in with our usual game plan. Whatever works best for us - whatever play gets us in the best situation - that's what we're going to run."

Why Feng Shui Works - Part III
In this series of articles, well known feng shui expert/consultant-Paul Darby-The Feng Shui Doctor, from British TV, tells us why feng shui is scientific, explains how and why it works!!
This 'tuning in' to the vibrations has intrigued all the wise people throughout time and still does- from shamans to scientists, from philosophers to psychics and engineers. Aristotle and Michael Faraday knew there was more to things that those that could be actually seen! They knew, but could not prove that the most important part of energy was not its source but the field of influence around it.
Quantum Physicists in the 1960s,70s, 80s, 90s and the 21st century are now explaining why meditation, acupuncture and feng shui work. The chi is simply an electromagnetic field, an influence which either can be helpful- if used well, or can hinder, if ignored, or put 'out of tune' by where, and how we live.
A famous physicist puts it simply-'Every time you use a toaster, the field around it changes its vibrations slightly throughout your environment'.
That's just one toaster, so look at all the other things, electrical, non electrical which 'pollute' the vibrations, the natural energies, the potential around us. No wonder we are in such a mess! Read Lynne McTaggart's 'The Field' for more scientific experiments into these vibrations and their effects!
Feng shui minimises the interference and enhances the resonances- the good vibrations! The constant exchanges of vibrations, these dynamic dancing waves of energy are bound to affect us, our surroundings, our world--positively and/or negatively charged, with differing wave length frequencies-- this is the yin and yang, the five elements, the compass directions, the metaphors of the Celestial Animals used by the Chinese for thousands of years.
They knew they were onto something- must have been for it to last-they did not understand it completely, they just knew it worked!!!
Now quantum scientists tell us that every particle, every wave of energy, of this 'natural electricity', this weak and subtle 'photon light' dances, radiates its own vibrations, its own patterns. Some patterns create and grow, others, disintegrate and are lost--the constructive and destructive cycles described by feng shui experts for many centuries! We harmonise with our surroundings, we tune in, we pick up on what is around us--either in a constructive or a destructive way.
Quantum physics says there has to be harmony, a balance, a meeting of positive and negative electrical charges. The timeless balance of yin and yang used by feng shui and Chinese medicine for thousands of years. All is a 'trembling motion'--jiggling energy.
We are concentrated energy--not really solid at all, as are all 'solid' objects, live or inanimate. We vibrate, everything vibrates- in a harmonic natural pattern of dynamic energy flow. What do we do!!!-surround ourselves with metal, plastic, microwaves, TVs, mobilephones, electricity- all kinds of poisonous concoctions, and then wonder why we do not feel so good--we are losing the 'music', we are not tuned in-we have drifted off the right frequency and cannot connect!!
Get back to the natural patterns of chi, tune in, resonate, harmonise---feng shui will help you. Around us is a vast energy bank- an 'Internet' of potential. It is positive, creative energy-and we, with our clever inventions, have poisoned, polluted and disrupted the very 'medicine' which can help us!
I can name hundreds of scientists, thousands of experiments to prove what I am saying. best read the books I recommended at the beginning of this series of articles-- all the evidence is there!
One famous scientist-Popp-proved the interaction of electromagnetic radiation, in its natural and more dangerous manmade forms, with biological systems. He proved that vibrating energy waves called 'photons'- a weak light source-[called by some people auras]-were interfered with by vibrating fields of energy-causing the photons in our body to vibrate in tune with those around us. When those vibrations were natural and healthy--great----if unhealthy resonances were tuning our bodies, then illnesses such as cancer, MS, ME, depression were caused!
Feng Shui gives you access to the subatomic Internet! It allows freedom, access to millions of patterns of positive, creative potential------but 'discord,' produced from nasty energy patterns, can corrupt the system, producing a 'virus' which can destroy- as with a computer ---a 'worm' which destroys from within--'memory banks', 'access' and use- causing our system to CRASH!--Blue Screen! vv.

and if so is there anything wrong with that?
I understand people wanting to look their best. But there seem to be some people that are not happy with how they look...even though they are not unattractive. They are simply "average" looking.
I personally don't think "average" looking is bad at all. I am average looking imo. I accept the fact that some people find me above average...some people find me below average.
There are times where I do feel lilke I look far beyond avergae and days I look so below average I shouldn't leave the house.
However on a daily basis I think I am average looking.
I am not ugly, I don't make babies cry and old ladies clutch their purses....I also don't have women staring daggers of jealously at me and men following me around like puppies. I think for the most part people say, "that is a nice looking lady" and that is if they notice me at all.
I try to look my best everyday and I am comfortable with that. How about you? Let me add there is nothing at all wrong with feeling you look above average (I honestly wish I did more often).
***just to be clear I do consider average to be pretty....not drop dead gorgeous...but pretty.
This is average me (with short hair and no make-up)-

In the thirties, there were the Swastika Riots in Christie Pits Park in Toronto. And it was not uncommon to see signs that read No Dogs or Jews Allowed.
In this same decade, there was the shameful story of the ship full of Jewish children, attempting to escape the Holocaust, or Shoah, in Europe, that was NOT given safe harbour anywhere. It was refused entrance to Canada, too!
Eventually it returned to Hitler's Europe, where its precious cargo was exterminated in the camps.
In fact, in the seventies, I saw, as grafitti, the above slogan, No Dogs or Jews Allowed, at Carleton University in Ottawa.

I was a little surprised to see Persona 3 at the Atlus booth. It has yet to be released in Japan, never mind North America. Personally, I was delighted when Atlus announced that Persona 3 would land on this side of the pond. I'm a big fan of games with style, and Persona 3 has a flair that's undeniable. The music is off-beat and fun, the game concept is classy and cool, and the graphics are delightful. The battle system may be the weak point of the series, but my understanding of the combat was limited. Despite the fact that I had an Atlus representative assisting me, neither of us knew how to read Japanese; the blind leading the blind, I suppose.
I reset the console and started a new game. I had to spend about five minutes at the name selection screen, mostly because (a) I don't speak Japanese and (b) X was cancel and O was select. After inputting mostly gibberish, I moved on to the next screen. The main character, a schoolboy with blue hair, was arriving at what appeared to be a boarding house. There was a girl there with a revolver, oddly enough. Although, the revolver probably wasn't the first thing I noticed; I think her legs were taller than the entirety of an average person and her skirt was around half a foot long. Anyhow, she must have thought our hero was an intruder or something, because she was about to "bust a cap in 'em" when a third character appeared. She was a tall dirty-blonde woman with an MP3 player and a blue skirt, and just her presence seemed to calm the leggy schoolgirl. I'm not quite sure what happened at that point, but the schoolgirl escorted the hero to his room (not in that way, guys) and he went to sleep. They went to school the next day, and I decided to wander around their school's lobby for a while. Every time I tried to leave I got a message telling me something. Probably something important, but it was in Japanese, so I got pretty stuck.
With the help of an Atlus representative, I loaded up a game file in a dungeon setting. A third person had been added to the party, a bearded fellow. All three of them wandered around what appeared to be an old mansion at night. The floor was coated in blood, and the atmosphere was really heavy. The skirted woman with the MP3 player contacted us on our cell phone to give us what were probably vitally important messages (in Japanese). Despite that, I managed to locate a ghost-like enemy and initiate a battle. The combat is entirely turn-based, with my choices being to attack, use a Persona attack, skip, etc. Oddly enough, I seemed to have no control over my allies. They did their own thing, and I did mine. Using a Persona was nifty though. Apparently, they don't actually shoot themselves in the head. They actually use a special gizmo that unleashes a Persona from their head; it just happens to look like a revolver. If you attack an enemy with their specific elemental weakness, you get to attack twice in a row. At one point, I got a critical hit on an enemy, and it became stunned. The three allies jumped up and gangbeat it to death in a giant cartoony cloud of smoke. Classic. If you didn't feel like actually choosing attacks, pressing triangle engaged an auto-battle mode.
After one of the random battles I aquired a Persona card. It was a dark faerie, and I was able to equip it to the main character. Although, I was unable to figure out just how to equip it to any of my other allies. I was also not able to use the fusion system, but the Atlus rep. said it was extensive. Another thing about the characters was that they only had three stats: Academic, Courage, and Charm. I don't know quite how that translates into gameplay, but the fact that the main characters are also students is probably central to the character development.
What really made Persona 3 shine was its style. Menus are brilliantly laid out in blue and yellow. They tended to be asymmetric and artistic, and the battle menu was laid out similarily. The music was incredible. During the day, when the party is at school, the music tends to be very modern and funky. It is intended to emulate what an actual Japanese youth might listen to. At night, the music is stylish and heavy. Lots of great melodies and tons of panache. Combine that with the nifty character portraits and visual style, and it looks amazing. Let's not forget that every time you summon a Persona, the character shoots themselves in the face. I don't know if that will survive the trek to North America, but it's still pretty cool.

Party Peeps Are in the House: The Most-Adorable Peeps Treats Ever
by Sara Levine in Holidays, April 2nd, 2015Fun fact: Most recipes that use marshmallows can be made infinitely cuter by swapping in Peeps. These sugar-coated chicks and bunnies are an Easter treat so beloved that Just Born, the company that's been producing them for more than 60 years, makes enough Peeps in one year to circle the Earth three times. Back in 1953, it took 27 hours to create one Peep by hand with a pastry tube; yellow and white were the original colors. Today it takes roughly six minutes per Peep, and they come in a rainbow of hues and even specialty flavors like Chocolate Mousse, Blue Raspberry and Party Cake.
Once you've rounded up your favorite Peeps, the possibilities are endless. Peep dioramas never get old, but edible creations are our favorite. FoodNetwork.com contributor and Sprinkles! author Jackie Alpers was just the sweet-treat aficionado to come up with adorable and tasty new ways to showcase Peeps, starting with the Technicolor cake pictured above. For a showstopping centerpiece for this weekend's Easter spread, just press sprinkles, jelly beans and a rainbow of Peeps into a freshly frosted layer cake. Read more

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. The only fragrance I have that lasts literary more than 24 hours.
I am fairly obsessed with buying frags that last all day on me...If I spend the money, I want to smell it 5+ hours. Most Montales and Most Bond no 9's fit the bill. NOT that they all smell good, most Bn9's smell awful, but I love New York Amber and I can smell it on my pillow the next day (24hrs longevity) Montale Black Aoud, Dark Aoud, Louban, and Cuir d'Arabie also last long and smell good.
I have a TON of Full Bottles/Decants/Samples for trade/sale. Montale, Oud Oils, Amouage, Mancera, Penhaligon's
...the first that comes to my mind is... Havana
Joop Homme! .. by a long, looooong way. Even the after shave version blows away any EDT or EDP I've ever tried. And I've tried some of the big hitters mentioned on here such as Aventus, 1 million, Tobacco Vanille.. Joop Homme is an absolute monster. I actually quite like the smell but I'm too embarrassed to wear it in public because it is ruthlessly strong stuff.

Vintage Bijan for Men. This is easily the one in my wardrobe that requires the most controlled application. Any more than a couple sprays of this and people in other rooms will know you're there.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Voted for Jaipur, which I really adore, but Havana seems stronger- just not a huge fan of it...
Bijan(vintage) for men is the winner,and everyone here knows that,I think alot of people dont like scent of Bijan,
vintage Bijan for men has powerfull sillage, long lasting projection quality,after 18 hours later its still projecting as 18 hours ago,I respect everyone opinions,but there is no fragrance in this thread which have long lasting projection quality
the vintage Bijan for men is a powerhouse fragrance
I tried alot of really powerfull fragrances and my goal was to find strongest one with all powerfull qualities, and I can recommend you with confidence that
you can say "my vintage Bijan will punk any frag you have in your arsenal"

I respect youre opinion
since this thread opened in Male Fragrance Discussion,thats why I did not counted women fragrances
those fragrances are for women,of course those are strong but in a womanly way,I think if any man wear Poison or Amarige he will become she, Poison & Amarige are women fragrances

Thanks for telling me what I know rather than asking me. That's very not-rude of you, except for the part about it actually being quite rude. ONE spray of Black Afgano is all it takes to blow a hole in your theory, though I'd rather go with 2 sprays of Interlude Man. My god, that stuff is crazy strong and lasts 24 hours. And, in this case, I'm just talking about 2 sprays from a sample vial which might equal only one from an actual bottle. Still, I don't doubt Black Afgano is stronger.
You might want to do a search here. You'll find that a lot of men (including straight men, in case that's an issue for you) wear Poison. And they get some pretty excellent feedback from women.
Agreed! Talk about a facepalm.

I will open thread Bijan(vintage) vs Interlude Man vs Black Afgano and we will see,how many people will vote,and which fragrance will be winner
For some reason, when a men wear something that is stereotypically feminine, that is seen as being weak. It's not right, but that's the way it is

Vintage Giorgio For Men - One spray was enough for all day beastly projection.
I'm not sure if you ever smelled Black Afgano......but vintage Bijan is not stronger than that. And that's just one of the top of my head. Speaking in absolutes isn't the wiesest thing, unless you've tried every edition, of ever scent ever created. As far as fragrances for men and women go. My friend, I live in New York City. I only wear men's fragrances, but I have friends who are pretty highly esteemed in the business community (a few in the power set as well) and some of them wear scents commonly thought of as produced for females. It doesn't"make you any less of a man for doing so, it just means that people have different tastes than you do. And that's going to happen your entire life, so you better get used to it now.
Aventus for me has very strong sillage and projection. A bit too much actually...
I vote for two that others have mentioned: Van Cleef and Arpels PH and Tom Ford Amber Absolute. I'll offer another that I've had in my collection for quite a while and that only seems to get stronger as it ages: Aramis Gold.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Health
- - calming aids
calming aids Sammy hauled out to a photo shoot for the first time yesterday. He did great getting in to leave home and haul out and to come back home but after 45 minutes of walking around on a halter and lead rope when we got to the new place he was still so nervous and distracted at this new arena that it took 3 people to help me bridle and saddle him. He just wouldn't stop dancing. Are there any natural aids I could use that might help next time? We have shows coming up in October-February and I'm hoping that an hour of stall time before we start tacking will be good for him to calm down but if it isn't will a large dose of rescue remedy help? I'd prefer not to drug him on ace and rompin (sp?) or something like that. We have to do a small dose to get his back feet trimmed (long story). But are there any natural products that might just calm his nerves at a new place. Once I'm on he's totally fine but until then he's a nervous mess. Some of his nervous antics and he did yesterday and he did some of the same things when I first bought him too: Wiggled his lip and nickered repeatedly Violently bobbed his head really high then ground touching low Ears as far forward as they could possibly get, eyes HUGE Prancing in place while eating from the hay bag Butt bumping the trailer Snorting A LOT excessive pawing as soon as he was alone and screaming He refused to line up to the mounting block so I had to stretch and get on from the ground. I rode him around for about 10 minutes without my stirrups since they were too long to adjust while he was exploring but after I was properly positioned he calmed right down. The pictures of his jitters actually came out pretty well. The photographer said the end result was "fantabulous" and he'd get me pictures as he got them done. |
Rescue remedy is hit or miss at best. I would be doing some weekly trailer trips to get him used to being away from home. It's asking a lot to make his first trip a "working" trip. The up side is the more you travel with him the better he should get. |
Posted via Mobile Device |
Try something with valerian root or tryptophan. They have them in paste form like wormers, that you give to the horse 2 to 4 hours before the start whatever activity it is that freaks him out. |
I'll look into that! I talked with my trainer today and she said she has something but I forget what she said it was. |
288 Attachment(s) No is the basic answer to giving him stuff like that. *If* he's deficient in magnesium, he may be more 'nervy' than is natural for him, so adding this supp may help a bit. Giving massive doses of anything like Rescue Remedy will not be more helpful & is potentially harmful. It's essentially a homeopathic, so tiny amounts are best(& it's also alcohol based). I have found Rock Rose and Aconite are possibly helpful for helping generally mildly anxious horses, but if they're really stressing out about some real problem, as yours is, nothing of this sort is likely to cut it. The poor boy sounds very stressed about it all & the only really effective 'natural' answer is to desensitise him to the situation with repetition & careful, low stress handling with 'approach & retreat'. I personally wouldn't want to subject him to these experiences until you can do it properly. Standing in a strange stall may well stress him out even further, and won't help get him used to the rest of the foreign environment. I personally would be very hesitant to ride him in this state of mind, as I suspect the reason he 'calms down' for you when you're on is more likely 'shutting down'. How about starting with taking him out & about as much as possible in hand, if hauling him places is out of the question? But if it's the hauling that's the biggest problem, while the more low-key training over time the better, if you hired a trailer for a few days & trained him well(with approach & retreat, low pressure) to be *confident* about it, that would help a lot & not be too expensive. |
My horse was given some before she was moved. She settled right into her new stall although she'd never been stalled before and the nervous energy levels in the barn were running insanely high as all the other horses there were also being moved in at the same time and a few of them had been moved multiple times in the days prior. |
My only advise is keep working with him there every day until your show. So he'll get used to the new place and surroundings. I personally found the calmer NOT to be very helpful (including valerian and even ace shot) on my horse when it comes to the excitement of the new place. |
The ones I've used and seen others used with success is Quietex. But that is just a band aid. There is nothing better than practice, practice, practice. If you need to pay for someone to bring a trailer out a couple of times a month (or more to work with him), you're going to be way better off. My boy is deathly afraid of wind storms, which we have a lot here. I sometimes have to give him Quietex when all my other methods don't work (extra hay, extra love, music). So they can be used, but again, nothing can replace working with them. |
To the OP, you may end up trying number of different calmers (yeah I know it's somewhat costly :cry: ) before you find the one, which works for your horse. |

Revshift Cadillac Flex Disc
As many of you know, a common Cadillac replacement part is the drivetrain flex disc. It becomes a headache once you find out that the oem flex disc is not available without purchasing a whole driveshaft assembly for upwards of a thousand dollars. We have been producing similar flex discs for BMW vehicles (where they have been repeatedly tested and proven) and now we are offering them to the Cadillac community.
The Revshift flex disc is CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum. It utilizes high quality polyurethane bushings to maximize rigidity and strength while maintaining the proper amount of flex to protect your drivetrain.
This is a high performance alternative to the oem flex disc. The oem rubber flex disc is known for failing under high loads and needing to be replaced on a regular basis. There is no longer a need to worry after you install a Revshift flex disc on your Cadillac.
- CNC machined 6061 aluminum body
- 95A durometer polyurethane bushings

Tennis-WTA boss keen to let coaches instruct players from stands
March 25 The governing body for women's tennis (WTA) is considering changing the rules to allow coaches to instruct players from the stands, its chief executive Steve Simon said.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov 16 The International Tennis Hall of Fame suspended former star Bob Hewitt after an investigation into sexual abuse allegations, the organization's director said on Friday.
The Hall of Fame hired an attorney to conduct the investigation, which included interviews with alleged victims, who were between the ages of 12 and 15 when coached by Hewitt decades ago. Hewitt flew to Boston from his home in South Africa to be interviewed, said Mark Stenning, chief executive of the organization based in Newport, Rhode Island.
Members of the Hall of Fame's executive committee voted unanimously on Wednesday to suspend Hewitt indefinitely "based on their belief that what was presented to them was in fact credible evidence," Stenning said.
"The allegations brought to us were extremely troubling, and we're confident we've taken the appropriate action," Stenning said.
Plaques honoring Hewitt at the hall were removed, as was his entry on the organization's website. "Bob Hewitt ceases to exist in the Hall of Fame," Stenning said.
The Hall of Fame became aware of the allegations that Hewitt sexually abused and harassed young women in the United States and South Africa when they were reported by The Boston Globe last year, he said.
Born in Australia and later a resident of South Africa, Hewitt was a top-ranked tennis player in the 1960s and 1970s.
He won men's or mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. and French opens, and the Australian Championship.
A woman quoted as saying Hewitt had sex with her in the 1970s when she was 15 did not immediately respond to a phone call from Reuters seeking comment. Hewitt was not immediately reachable. (Editing by Barbara Goldberg and Bill Trott)

Hi Everyone,
New to the new games (played back in '07 and got scroll of ressurected :)). I am stuck at 20,999/21000 reputation to get to exalted with Darnassus. I got most of my rep from grinding rep in dungeons, specifically Underbog. What do I have to do to get that last point? I was told I need to speak with a 'Darnassus NPC' by a gamemaster, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what he is talking about. Does anyone know what needs to be done here?
Post by
do a quest or something with awards you with rep to darnassus if that dosent work no idea
Post by
I have no freaking clue...
Maybe you need to talk with any random Darnassus dude?
Also you migh need to do at least one quest which gives rep with Darnassus?
Otherwise I have no clue...
Post by
Thanks for the suggestions. If I am level 67, and I do a quest for a level 20something, would I get rep for that?
Post by
Yes you would.
Post by
Thanks, you were right. I just needed to hit a low level quest. I guess you can't earn exalted just by dungeoning.
Post by
You can, but the Outland instances only give rep to Honoured; you need to be in the Heroic version for it to push past in those ones. But the Azeroth ones or the Wrath dungeons would have given you that last bit of rep for a kill in a dungeon.
Post by
You can also gain rep with Darnassus / Ironforge / Stormwind by doing the fishing and cooking dailies in those cities.

also going in the Steamvault will give you the rep you need.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – A New York woman who spent more than 13 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of killing her teenage daughter has reached a $2.7 million settlement with the state, her attorney said Tuesday.
Lynn DeJac Peters, whose conviction was overturned in 2007 on the basis of DNA evidence, initially sought more than $10 million in a written demand in 2009 but lowered the amount as time went on. Earlier this year, she accused the state of dragging its feet on her wrongful imprisonment claim, hoping to wear her down.
"We're pleased that this ends a long, four-year battle with New York state to compensate Lynn for the 13 years of her life that she lost for something she didn't do," lawyer Steven Cohen said in announcing the settlement at a news conference.
While imprisoned at the maximum-security Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, DeJac Peters wasn't allowed private visitation with her twin sons, born just before her trial, because she maintained her innocence, her lawyer said.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
DeJac Peters, who was not at Tuesday's news conference, was convicted in 1994 of strangling her 13-year-old daughter, Crystallynn Girard, in their Buffalo home on Valentine's Day 1993.
Her second-degree murder conviction was overturned in November 2007 after newly analyzed DNA evidence placed DeJac Peters' former boyfriend in the bedroom of her daughter around the time the girl died.
Despite the findings, prosecutors could not consider bringing charges against the boyfriend, Dennis Donohue, because he'd received immunity by testifying before the grand jury that charged DeJac Peters.
In February 2008, the Erie County District Attorney's Office dismissed all charges against DeJac Peters after forensics experts they hired while preparing for her retrial concluded Crystallynn had not been murdered, but died of a cocaine overdose, a finding her mother and Cohen have called "ludicrous."
Donohue was later convicted in the September 1993 strangulation death of another woman and is serving 25 years to life in prison.
Cohen said Tuesday that the state became serious about settling DeJac Peters' wrongful imprisonment claim in late September, after a state-hired forensics expert examined slides and records from Crystallynn's autopsy and concluded she had been strangled, as initially thought, as well as raped.
DeJac Peters, who has believed from the beginning that Donohue killed her daughter, has filed a $30 million lawsuit against Erie County and the City of Buffalo alleging negligence in the investigation and prosecution of Crystallynn's death. The civil suit claiming deprivation of DeJac Peters' civil rights is pending in U.S. District Court in Buffalo.

Web Forums for Project Management Professionals
Sometimes you just want another perspective on the ins and outs of managing projects. Or perhaps you would like to discuss project issues with like-minded individuals. Maybe what you need to discuss is not confidential, yet you would like to reach beyond your current environment and hear from others. Sometimes the best way to do this is to find a good site where you can read what others have to say and share your own knowledge too. This calls for a good forum for project managers. If the idea of searching for a forum leaves you cold, relax. The "Masters in Project Management" team has done the pre-work for you.

Population Ecology
Studying the demography of animal and plant populations
What causes shifts in species' ranges
The distribution of animal and plant species in nature is dynamic. We want to understand what drives shifts (including contractions and expansions) in species' ranges, and changes in their abundance. Our main approach is to look at factors affecting reproduction, dispersal and death. These are the basic demographic variables that determine spatial population dynamics.
Demographic biodiversity
Demographic diversity is one form of biodiversity, and South Africa is particularly rich in it. Among plants, for example, it ranges from cycads and quiver trees, that can live for hundreds of years, to desert annuals that complete their whole life cycle in one year. Among birds, it ranges from Penduline Tits, with a short life expectancy, to Albatrosses that can live for many decades. Our understanding of demographic biodiversity in South Africa is still very limited.
Methodologies for studying population dynamics
We often use matrix population models to link age-specific reproduction and survival to population dynamics. We are concerned about imperfect detection: the fact that surviving individuals can be missed in capture-mark-recapture studies or species overlooked in places where they occur. We therefore use statistical methods that correct for non-detection when studying survival and range dynamics.
Demography is the key to understanding animal and plant vulnerability
Demography is key to understanding the vulnerability of animals and plants, be it due to climate and land use change, or harvesting. We are involved in a wide range of projects within SANBI and in collaboration with scientists at other institutions.

This is part four in the our series on babies and sleep. To start from the beginning click here.
Step 2: Study the Science of Sleep
I think there is something to the whole "teaching your baby how to sleep" thing … but always gently.
Comment from Whittney on THAT Mom
I'll bet some of you were star athletes before becoming a mom. It's hard to find time to stay in training mode after kids, I should know. I was among the elite. I was a marathon sleeper.
I could sleep. for. ever. And a day.
With all the sleeping I used to do one would think I knew a thing or two about the mechanics of it. Nope. My first attempts to teach Katie to sleep made painfully clear my ignorance on the subject. Fortunately, in her No Cry Sleep Solution Elizabeth Pantley gives a well-researched overview of basic sleep biology.
Most babies awaken two to three times a night up to six months, and once or twice a night up to one year; some awaken once a night from one to two years old. A baby is considered to be sleeping through the night when she sleeps five consecutive hours, typically from midnight to 5:00 A.M. While this may not be your definition of sleeping through the night, it is the reasonable yardstick by which we measure Baby's sleep.
The No Cry Sleep Solution, p.50
For me, this simple fact was a revelation. I realized that my objective should not be for my babies to "sleep through the night" without waking at all. None of us really does that. My goal is that they learn to fall asleep on their own after a brief awakening, just like I do when I roll over, fluff my pillow and drift back off to dreamland.
Strategies for Helping Infants Fall Back Asleep
I strongly believed that what they began needing to fall asleep, they would continue to need. I wanted my children to have the security to fall asleep without my breast. We mixed it up – rocking, snuggling, walking, nursing to a sleepy, cozy place but not sound asleep, etc.
Comment from Leah on THAT Mom
Following Leah's advice, I try to mix up how Micah falls asleep as often as possible: nursing to a sleepy state and then drifting off, in the sling, walking, rocking, etc. Note: If this seems impossible because your baby has a strong nursing-to-sleep association, check out the Pantley Pull-Off as described here.
I also vary how he sleeps. Sometimes rhythmic music plays in the background, other times white noise. He sleeps swaddled on his back, cuddled next to me or on his belly. * Hopefully this will help him be more flexible in his ability to take naps away from the house.
According to Elizabeth Pantley, where he falls asleep is almost as important as how. She gives this analogy:
Imagine this. You fall asleep in your nice, warm, comfy bed with your favorite pillow and your soft blanket. . . What if you woke up to find yourself sleeping on the kitchen floor without blankets or a pillow?
Could you simply turn over and go back to sleep? I know I couldn't! You would probably wake up startled, worry about how you got there, fret a bit, go back to bed, get comfortable and eventually fall asleep – but not too deeply, because you would worry about winding up on the floor again. This is how it is for a baby who is nursed, rocked, bottlefed or otherwise parented to sleep. She falls asleep rocking, nursing, sucking a pacifier, and so forth and wakes up to wonder, "What happened? Where am I? Where's Mommy and Daddy? I want things the way they were when I fell asleep! Wahhh!"
Makes sense, huh? That's why once a day I soothe Micah until he is very sleepy but still awake and then place him in the co-sleeper. Sometimes he falls asleep, but usually he raises his head and makes an expression that says "What the heck? I was comfortable!"
When he starts to fuss I pick him up and soothe him until he is sleepy again, then put him back in his bed. I do this as many times as I need to until he is so tired that he just decides it's not worth the trouble to protest and falls asleep in bed. It's a pretty lengthy process (which is why I only do it once a day) but I think it helps him recognize that although mommy's arms are best, beds are also cozy places to sleep. By decreasing the "startle factor" of waking up in bed I ***hope*** he will eventually feel comfy enough during his brief awakenings to fall back asleep without my help.
Speaking of babies falling back asleep on their own, a huge mistake I made with Katie is never letting her try. If she woke up in bed I picked her up immediately even if she wasn't crying. With Micah, I wait to respond. Although it's rare, I celebrate the times he falls back asleep without intervention. It doesn't save me any hassle right now (after all I am hovering over him ready to help if needed), but as he develops this skill over time we will both be much happier.
How Much Sleep Is Enough?
Sleep experts agree on one thing: Overtired babies do not sleep well at night. Unfortunately, determining if a baby is tired is not always as easy as it looks! It's easy to attribute crankiness to so many things: hunger, wet diaper, being cold, etc. I found this chart from Elizabeth's book to be really helpful and I hope you do, too. Things are going really well with Micah right now, but if they weren't I'd be tracking his hours to see if he's logging enough zzzzz's.
Age | Number of Naps | Total lengthof naptimehours | Nighttimesleep hours* | Total of nighttime and naptime sleep |
Newborn** | ||||
1 month | 3 | 6-7 | 8 ½ – 10 | 15-16 |
3 months | 3 | 5-6 | 10-11 | 15 |
6 months | 2 | 3-4 | 10-11 | 14-15 |
9 months | 2 | 2 ½ -4 | 11-12 | 14 |
12 months | 1-2 | 2-3 | 11 ½ -12 | 13-14 |
2 years | 1 | 1-2 | 11-12 | 13 |
3 years | 1 | 1-1 ½ | 11 | 12 |
4 years | 0 | 0 | 11 ½ | 11 ½ |
5 years | 0 | 0 | 11 | 11 |
My Results So Far
From six weeks old on Micah has been sleeping six consecutive hours each night (7pm – 1am) and then waking up only twice for feedings (1am and 4am) . . . usually. He rarely has meltdowns as a result of overtiredness and is very peaceful and content while awake. I, however, am still fairly sleep deprived because I'd rather blog than nap. 🙂
*I'm not concerned about SIDS because I don't vaccinate. Although belly sleeping has been named as the culprit, there is some research indicating that vaccines, specifically the DTP, may be the real cause. Besides, studies show that an infants breathing patterns tend to stabilize when they sleep next to an adult.
Okay, I need to know. Was this post helpful or did it bore you like a play-by-play of someones gallbladder surgery???

Books are brilliant things. Information, imagination, knowledge and entertainment all combined in a neat bundle of pages or an electronic file as it may be.
But there are many options. Millions actually. As a result, the question should be, "What are the must-reads?", particularly in the first half of your life when you are aiming to do so much and looking for all that life has to offer. I'll begin by stating that there are many books that could have made my list, but I imagine that you, like me, enjoyed many of those during your educational years. Still, it could be worth enjoying some of these beautiful, classic books.
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank- You probably read this as a student, but you should reread it. It may be the best book about the power of hope in the middle of appalling atrocities, and it serves to remind us that there will always be cruelty in the world, but that we must not let it triumph.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou – Poverty. Prejudice. Rape. Coming of age amidst all that. It's both harrowing and empowering.
Before you can start writing you need to have the germ of an idea — you need a tale to tell. The very smallest, simplest moments are often filled with meaning, and discovering how to share your story might be a matter of choosing where to look. There's no finer way to understand the broad possibilities of narrative than through Pulitzer Prize-winner Alice Munro's simple fiction. Once you've learned how to tell the story of a single glance, then you can tackle grander tales; unless you decide that like Munro your skills lie in immortalizing those parts of daily life so often ignored by the literary canon.
