Seven Steps to Lucid Dreaming and Opening the Vista of the Unconscious
Lucid Dreams: Cool-ass movies you can watch for free with no download times and which often star you and often have porn. They can even tell the future (maybe), help resolve the past and give you insight into the present. What's not to love about these flickery little bastards? Next time you're complaining about life, just remember this: your brain, clever fucker that it is, has automatically provided for a good solid few hours every day where you get to be the star of the show, unicorns are real, you can fly, you get to have any kind of sex you want, and also Rodney Dangerfield is trying to kill you with a machete for stealing the plans to the replica of the Empire State Building he's constructing from light and candy in his garage. Wait, forget that last one. That's, uh, personal.
A lot of people complain they don't remember their dreams. That can be fixed. A lot of people claim their dreams are boring. That can be fixed, too. In fact, turns out that dreaming is a skill you can build just like any other with a little persistence and some simple techniques. With a little practice, you can activate Lucid Dream Mode and have conscious control while dreaming.
1. Write your dreams down every morning.
This is the most important thing in this list. If you don't do anything else, do this. Get a journal, stick it by the bed with a pen, and write down all the crazy shit you remember from your dreams the instant you wake up. Don't stall; if you switch gears even a bit to check your e-mail or take a shower, you're going to lose most, if not all, of what you dreamt. The more you do this, the more you'll remember from your dreams. This is basically the lock and key that opens up your dreamspace. The more detail you record, the more detail you'll remember the next night, and the more you'll start to gain control of what you're dreaming.
2. Set your intention.
Tell yourself what you want to dream about before you go to sleep. Visualize the type of dream you want to have. Ask yourself a question. Pick one thing, and stick to it; maybe write it in your dream journal and then see how you net out in the morning. Coupled with the practice of dream journalling, this will help you gain more and more control over the dream state, allowing you access to new capacities for problem solving and satisfaction.
3. Dream-Induced Lucid Dreaming (DILD).
This is, simply put, a dream in which you remember that you're dreaming. This is harder than it sounds, but can be done. The key is reality checking. Throughout the day, you want to constantly check if you're in a dream or not (a la the Dream Tokens from Inception). There are a lot of ways to do this. Try setting your phone to go off every hour, and every time it beeps, ask yourself "Am I dreaming?" Now try doing something you'd only be able to do in a dream, like flying or walking through a wall. If you can, holy shit: You're in a dream, you are now aware that you're in a dream, and you should now be able to do whatever the f*ck you wanna do in that dream. If you can't, you're still awake, but the idea is that if you do this enough while awake, eventually it'll become so ingrained into your consciousness that you'll do it while you're dreaming, and successfully go lucid.
4. Wake-Induced Lucid Dreaming (WILD).
This is a more direct technique that tends to be favored by lucid dream researchers. It's weird as shit. As one passes out of wakefulness and into sleep, one drifts into a state where what's known as hypnagognic imagery flashes before your eyes. It also happens in the morning when you're just waking up. In the weird in-between state between wakefulness and sleep, you start getting hypervivid dream imagery while still conscious. When WILDing, you focus on that imagery and drift into it directly, keeping the mind awake by an act of will while the body falls asleep. This works best when taking a nap during the day, or after waking up in the middle of the night, and it works best when lying on your back. Reaching total sexual exhaustion with or without a partner is also immensely helpful. WILDs are fast, frantic and often potently meaningful, like a DMT trip, but you're likely to only retain a fraction of what happens. This is where your journal comes in handy.
(Bonus: Salvador Dalí developed his own approach to what might now be called a WILD called the paranoiac-critical method. His version: Sit in a comfy lean-back chair and pass into sleep. In your right hand, hold a rock, which is positioned directly over a steel plate on the floor. At the moment you pass out, your hand will relax and the rock will hit the plate. Now immediately write down whatever you just saw.)
5. Wake Back to Bed (WBTB).
Get yourself up after you complete a sleep cycle in the middle of the night. Tough, but possible (low doses of melatonin can help to clearly regulate and demarcate your sleep cycles), especially if you don't have to be anywhere early the next morning. Get up and putz around for an hour. Drink some water. Look at the stars. Meditate or do some other deep shit that lets you stay awake without totally switching into normal consciousness. Now go back to bed. This is the primary time to initiate a WILD or DILD.
6. Oneirogens.
These are "dream psychedelics" that create a more fertile ground for lucid dreams. First and foremost, you want some melatonin, which isn't an oneirogen per se, but which will help put you in a more regulated, deeper sleep, allowing greater periods of REM. You can combine this with GABA and Valerian for more restful sleep overall. (Protip: If you're in the US, Costco's brand of Melatonin comes with GABA and Valerian already in it and is super cheap for big quantities.) Now, if you want to get into some real territory, go on Amazon or elsewhere and get hold of a Galantamine and Choline combo. There are a lot of oneirogens but I have it that this is the favored compound of lucid dream researchers. Galantamine is a memory-booster that is currently being tried out with Alzheimer's patients; Choline (a.k.a. Vitamin B6) activates it (and helps with sleep and cognition in general). To use this Dream-DMT, you need to do a successful WBTB (you can't just take it before bed). Stay up for an hour and then scarf 400-800 mg of Galantamine/Choline, and go right into a WILD. Now enjoy your exit from this reality. You can also try taking Piracetam, a nootropic which is conveniently also potentiated by Choline, for overall dream clarity and recall. However, let me underline that without a steady practice of the above techniques, without the developed ability to recall and journal your dreams, and especially without the discipline and will it takes to successfully execute a WBTB, this stuff is going to be useless to you. You can't just take it and go to bed; without interrupting your sleep schedule it'll all wear off before you get to the part of the night you'll be able to recall details of your REM cycles from.
7. Dream Yoga.
If you want to get even more serious, the Tibetans have a whole arsenal of techniques for fucking with dreams. Check out Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep for an introduction, or Between the Gates by Mark Stavish for a slightly more Westernized version.
Don't forget to set intentions (use sigils if you like) and record everything—Happy Travels!

This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 8, (MUP), 1981
Catherine Winifred (Kate) Dwyer (1861-1949), schoolteacher and Labor leader, was born on 13 June 1861 at Tambaroora, New South Wales, second daughter of Joseph Golding, an Irish-born goldminer, and his Scottish wife Ann, née Fraser. Kate was educated at Hill End Public School and in January 1880 began teaching at Tambaroora Public School. She was transferred to Bathurst next year, Spicers Creek in 1884, Binnaway in 1885 and Coffey Hill and Blayney in 1886. She resigned next year and on 28 December 1887 at Hamilton, Newcastle, married a fellow schoolteacher Michael Dwyer.
In 1891-93 Michael was headmaster of the Broken Hill Public School and Kate came into close contact with working-people impoverished by severe drought and a prolonged strike and developed a deep sympathy for them. In 1894 the Dwyers moved to Sydney where Michael was headmaster at Marrickville West until 1900, then at Camperdown and Redfern Public Schools.
Kate Dwyer was a member of the Womanhood Suffrage League of New South Wales and was prominent in the fight for female suffrage. She was a founder of the Women's Progressive Association in 1901 and worked for the right of women to enter the legal and other professions and to have a fair share of the accumulations of the marriage partnership. She wrote extensively on political, industrial and women's questions in the press, and was 'a fine speaker, with a gift of repartee'. From 1904 she was first president of the Women's Organizing Committee of the Political Labor League and next year was elected to the State Labor executive. She was a delegate to the Commonwealth Political Labor Conference in Brisbane in 1908 and Hobart in 1912.
Kate Dwyer worked tirelessly for improved working and living conditions for women and for a minimum female living wage. With Mrs Flanagan, she formed the Women Workers' Union for home and fringe factory workers to combat 'sweating'; as president from 1910, she was a delegate to the Sydney Labor Council. In evidence to the 1909 royal commission on the improvement of the city of Sydney and its suburbs, she had advocated model dwellings for working men with a weekly rental of one day's pay, and opposed the building of tenements. Next year the lord mayor Sir Allen Taylor paid tribute to her as 'one of our great workers'. In 1911 she assisted A. B. Piddington on the royal commission into the alleged shortage of labour and into the conditions of employment of female and juvenile labour; she visited over 100 factories and, as well as generally condemning conditions in them, stressed her abhorrence of piece-work which she believed was responsible for 'much sweated labour of women'. In 1911-13 she sat on the royal commission of inquiry as to food supplies and fish. Dignified, with wavy hair, she was an imposing figure.
During World War I Mrs Dwyer was a member of the committee organizing the 'no' vote for the 1916 conscription referendum. She opened a factory for unemployed needlewomen and procured a military contract as a start for them. For men, she organized a tent-housing scheme at Stannumville, known as Canvas Town. In 1915 she was selected to stand for the half-Senate election, due in 1916 but deferred. In 1921 she was a representative at the Commonwealth Political Labor Conference in Brisbane when she voted against the 'socialist objective'. Back on the executive, in 1923 she supported Jack Bailey at the State conference in Sydney. During the war she had represented the Women Workers' Union on Wages Boards and in the 1920s was on conciliation committees. In 1925 she was defeated as one of five members for the Balmain seat in the Legislative Assembly.
Mrs Dwyer was a fellow of the Senate of the University of Sydney in 1916-24 and worked for the establishment of a chair of domestic science. From 1910 she was a director and in the 1940s a vice-president of the Benevolent Society of New South Wales. She was also a director of the Royal Hospital for Women, Paddington, and the Renwick Hospital for Infants, and a trustee of the King George V and Queen Mary Jubilee Fund for Maternal and Infant Welfare. In May 1921 she was one of the first female justices of the peace appointed in New South Wales.
Kate Dwyer lived at Annandale and remained a member of the local branch of the Australian Labor Party. She was a devout Catholic all her life and enjoyed gardening, reading and lecturing. She died in the Sacred Heart Hospice for the Dying, Darlinghurst, on 3 February 1949. Predeceased by two sons and a daughter, she was survived by a son and daughter. Her estate was valued for probate at £1473. Her sisters Annie and Belle Golding were also active in the political and social reform movements.

Ali Peek 'fully recovered, cleared to play'
Talk 'N Text center Ali Peek has been cleared by doctors to come back to action less than three weeks after being shot in the neck.
Television personality and former PBA courtside reporter Cesca Litton broke the news on Twitter late Thursday evening, sharing a text message from the hulking PBA veteran: "I'm fully recovered, Cesca. I can play."
Peek himself confirmed the news in a Twitter message to another friend. "I'm doing great and I just got clearance from the doctor," he wrote. "I'm fully recovered! God is great!"
The 36-year-old Filipino-American was shot by a still unknown assailant on November 7 after completing a plyometric workout at the RFM Gymnasium in Mandaluyong City.
While a slug remains lodged in his neck, doctors determined that there was no need for surgery to remove it as it did not have any adverse effects on Peek. Dr. Cam Legaspi of Medical City also said that Peek no longer needs any further treatment.
Getting back on the court, according to the doctor, is actually key to Peek's recovery.
"The psychological and emotional recovery will be longer than the physical recovery," said Legaspi. "If Ali can get back to normal activity soon, that is the true gauge of success."
Talk 'N Text coach Chot Reyes said on Twitter that the clearance to play, however, does not necessarily mean that Peek will be back in action for the Tropang Texters.
"Getting cleared [to play] doesn't mean that he will," Reyes wrote. "Only [Peek] can say when he's ready."

Revlon RV484 Review
Offering ionic technology, three heat settings, two speed settings, a cool-shot option, a concentrator and a diffuser, this hair dryer seems to be as good as the rest, but don't be fooled. It receives bad reviews across the board, with users warning it poses a safety hazard. Several report it has burned their hands, gets way too hot, and sometimes gives off a bad smell.
Comments that it's heavy and bulky are actually some of the milder barbs thrown at the Revlon RV484. Although some consumers are satisfied with this cheap hair dryer, scathing comments about it sparking and shorting out and singeing, frying, or otherwise damaging hair often appear in Revlon RV484 reviews on Amazon. Consumers posting reviews on the Target website report similar problems, ranging from buttons breaking to the cord melting and causing sparks to fly. One user explicitly labels the Revlon RV484 a safety hazard.
On paper, the Revlon RV484 seems like a good, affordable choice. It has ionic technology that is said to reduce frizz, three heat settings, two speed settings, and a cold-shot option. It even comes with a concentrator and a diffuser, and it's all wrapped up in a very cheap price.
However, Revlon RV484 reviews by consumers questioning its safety, as well as its performance, give us pause. Although more recent reviews seem less negative, we think you should pass this one by despite its appealing price and reputable brand name.

Harsh words of wisdom go down a little bit easier when they're delivered by a genial comedian like Steve Carell.
That was one of many lessons learned by the senior class at Princeton University, who were addressed by The Office standout, current star of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and all-around funny guy, Steve Carell.
Carell joked that his role as keynote speaker was relatively insignificant, as past honorees like Katie Couric and Stephen Colbert (his former Daily Show cohort) were largely forgotten the moment their speeches ended.
But Carell made the most of his time at the podium. His main message?
"I suffered and you should have to suffer too."
Carell mockingly (but wisely) pointed out that in his day, when you were dumped, it was face-to-face, and not via text. When students didn't know something, they couldn't Google it with ease.
"We just made an educated guess, or we made it up," Carell told the seniors, according to the Newark Star Ledger. "We pretended that we knew and that was good enough... And if you weren't right, you could leave before anyone had time to check your facts."
Carell's 15-minute speech — delivered on a cold and rainy day — left Princeton's seniors on a sunny and somewhat upbeat note, however, when he said, "Every once in a while, put something positive into the world. We've become so cynical these days and by 'we,' I mean us. So do something kind, make somebody laugh and don't take yourself too seriously."
And if you're Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, I'm sure Carell's available.

Developers: Expect New Major Language Within Five Years
By Darryl K. Taft | Posted 2007-03-26 Email PrintA group of software developers said we should expect to see more dynamic languages and possibly a new major language in the next five years.
LAS VEGASA group of software gurus gathered at TheServerSide Java Symposium here to discuss the future of programming, saying we should expect to see more dynamic languages and possibly a new major language in the next five years.During a panel discussion titled "2010: A Developer's Odyssey" at the symposium, Eugene Ciurana, an enterprise architect at Walmart.com, said in the next few years he expects to see "more scripting languages added to the JVM [Java Virtual Machine], especially with Java 6, and to make it easier and make development a lot faster."
Hani Suleiman, chief technology officer at Formicary, said he does not necessarily agree with Ciurana about the scripting languages, "but there will be more componentization in terms of the JVM."
There will be "more in the way of language experimentation going on," according to Ted Neward, founder of Neward & Associates. "We'll see new ways to do things better."
Panelist Gil Tene agreed that there will be new experimentation in languages.

"I think we're five years from the next big languageto be where Java is today," said Tene, CTO of Azul Systems, which makes a hardware solution for accelerating Java systems.
Suleiman said he thinks domain-specific languages are a great idea, "but in practice, where is it?"
Added Adrian Colyer, CTO at Interface21, "In languages I hope we get to something that has a message-based paradigm."
At that point, Cameron Purdy, president of Tangosol, which has been acquired by Oracle, asked whether XML would be dead in the next 10 years.
"It's underlying so many things at this point, it can't simply go away," Suleiman said.
Meanwhile, Ciurana said he expects to see more convergence of Java with other technologies. "We'll see more cooperation with other environments," he said.
However, "things are going to continue to get more complex," said Colyer. "More APIs, more frameworks, more stuff. And we'll have to figure how to deal with that."
One way to help deal with that would be to bring in a new crop of developers.
Asked what he looks for in developer hires, Ciurana said, "When I hire someone and all they have in their resume is Java, I don't hire that [person]. I think they should have a broader skill set. I look for people who have a broader background and are always trying to learn new things."

Grilling: Five-Spice Short Ribs Recipe
Fire up your grill and get ready for some serious smoke.
I tend to put on the Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen show when I want to fall asleep. Don't get me wrong, Raichlen has some great recipes, even if they can be unnecessarily heavy on ingredients, but something about his personality is conducive to slumber. Luckily, I stayed fairly awake through a recipe for five-spice short ribs, and after sweet, meaty dreams all night, I had to make them.
The show said to smoke the ribs for 2 1/2 hours at 250ºF--that seemed a little short for a piece of beef so marbled with fat and connective tissue. At the designated cooking time, it was no surprise the short ribs were still a bit tough and not entirely edible. Luckily I was in no hurry and kept them smoking, eating them as the day went on, getting more tender with each passing hour. After about seven hours, the last of these beefy, sweet short ribs were gone, and they lived up to earlier dreams.
About the author: Joshua Bousel blogs about grilling on his blog, The Meatwave, and appears weekly here on Serious Eats during grilling season.
- Yield:4 to 6
- Rated:
- 3 to 4 pounds beef short ribs, bone-in
- For the rub:
- 2 tablespoons Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon teaspoon fine grained sea salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground white pepper
- For the sauce:
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/3 cup dry sherry
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar, or more to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon peeled, minced ginger
- 2 scallions, white and green parts minced
- 4-5 chunks of cherry wood
Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Liberally coat the ribs with the rub on all sides. Cover the ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
While the ribs are smoking, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
When the ribs are done, brush them all over with sauce. Place them on a hot grill for 1-2 minutes per side, or keep them in the smoker for an additional 15 minutes, to caramelize the sauce. Serve with remaining sauce.

EDIT 4/20: 8th on top entries...not bad for first game. thanks guys!! and front page...holy shit tom.
Finally here is the FINAL VERSION of the Enrichment Center (our first game). We added several of mechanics into the game. Remember: this was just us testing the waters of flash. Something entertaining, yet simple. for now at least.
Same story as the Beta:
This is a fan based game off of Valve's Portal. This is another part of Aperture Science. This takes place before the portal gun was completed, so this game is like Portal .5.
You're an Aperture Science employee starting to think that you will never going home again. So you start to escape from the Enrichment Center.
and remember, there's 2 different endings!
Hope you Enjoy!
Additional Note:
WE KNOW THAT IT'S SHORT. We had 1 good day of planning out the puzzles, and then no more ideas came...so we just went with it. Our apologies. If enough of you guys want a sequel, once we have ideas for at least 19 puzzles, we'll work on it. Thank you

Freezeland ..... your's was a much better topic name! :-)
I just wanted to add the two other links to your thread!
Has anything like this been seen outside of Ohio?
parvo like outbreak in Milwaukee County.
Any update on this in Ohio? There are two HT's coming up in Chardon area this weekend and next
Here's a message I sent to Toller owners about a week ago.
Here's a piece off VIN (Veterinary Information Network) on the issue of Circovirus and dogs. This piece presents a more balanced view.
Reading this indicates that the issue is not so cut and dried as the first article suggests. Ms. Daugherty had little foundation but her own conjecture to suggest a rescue link between four cases in Ohio which are still not clear in the diagnosis and a few cases in California...last year. In short, her piece was a blog, not a scientific treatise.
Here are two more articles on the issue. The second is from the CDC and is quite technical.
Any news about this? We decided to keep our dogs home from Ohio, but wondering if it was an isolated set of incidents?
Apparently it *may* be in Michigan now as well.

BA booked, will be using 470cc high profile anatomical implants. What approx size and shape will this give me? I am 5"5 and weigh 143 lbs. I have a curvy build, moderate chest diameter, size 34A with moderate to small amounts of breast tissue.
What Result to Expect?
Doctor Answers 8
At size 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you had 470 cc implants placed you would go up 4.7 cup sizes, from an A to an approximate size F, which is too large. Remember that your body may not be able to accommodate that size of an implant (470 cc weighs over a pound). I recommend you reconsider the size, a 200 to 300 cc implant may be more appropriate. The profile of implant is irrelevant when placed retro-pectoral because the muscle determines the profile not the implant. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs. Often, it is best to do a lift at the same time to increase projection, upper pole fullness and cleavage. This can all be done through a circumareola approach to minimize scars. You may be a candidate for Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift.
Best Wishes,

If you are a full A cup, you will likely be some sort of D cup. In general, 200 cc to 250 cc will increase a patient by one cup size.
without a photo, it's nearly impossible to tell you what you might look like after surgery. See if you can find a surgeon who uses Vectra 3D imaging--you'll be able to see your "after" photo before you ever have surgery!

This is hard to answer. The proper sizing depends on your breast width, chest width and anatomy, height and weight.
It's a guess only. But if you are as you say you are,I'm guessing you'll be a full d cup.
Good luck!
Thank you for the question. The utilization of a specific breast implant size or profile will not necessarily achieve a specific cup size. In my practice, I ask patients to communicate with the help of goal pictures of exactly what they would like to achieve, as well as what they consider to be too small or too big. I then select the best breast implant size/profile that will most closely approximate their goals during surgery.
You may be able to get an idea of what to expect ( roughly), by using sizers under your bra at your plastic surgeon's office.
Again, pre-operative communication of your goals will be critical when it comes to a successful outcome.
Best wishes.

Unfortunately it is not that easy. Implant volume does not correlate to size and without photos, it would be impossible to even estimatet his for you. But at your height and weight, the size is not unreasonable.

Eleven young people were brazenly kidnapped May 26 from an after-hours bar in Mexico City's Zona Rosa, a normally calm district of offices, restaurants, drinking spots and dance clubs, according to their relatives. Here are the names The Associated Press has confirmed:
1. Eulogio Fonseca Arreola, 26, a street vendor who sells cell-phone accessories with his sister and family. "They went out to have fun. They are not criminals," sister Isabel Fonseca said.
2. Jennifer Robles Gonzalez, 23, a single mother of a 6-year-old boy. Her family said she posted a message on Facebook after 8:30 a.m. Sunday saying she was dancing at the bar less than two hours before the kidnapping allegedly took place.
3. Josue Piedra Moreno, 29, street food vendor who told his mother, Leticia Moreno, he was going out to a club with his brother, Aaron Piedra Moreno.
4. Aaron Piedra Moreno, 20, street food vendor
5. Guadalupe Karen Morales Vargas, 24
6. Alan Omar Athiencia Barranco, 26
7. Said Sanchez Garcia, 19, who helped his mom sell purses and cleaning items in a street market. He was last seen late Saturday when he came home for a sweater before going out to another nightclub and then the bar.
8. Jerzy Ortiz Ponce, 16, went to the party with his friend, Said Sanchez.
9. Gabriela Tellez Zamudio, 34,
10. Rafael Rojas, no age available, married and a merchant in Tepito.

Note: In 2001, Romania placed a moratorium on international adoptions, and officially banned the practice four years later, citing widespread corruption in adoption practices across borders. Romanian Office for Adoptions announced that its new adoption law went into effect on April 7, 2012 that allows for intercountry adoptions of Romanian children by relatives of the fourth degree of kinship, the spouse of the child's natural parent, and Romanian citizens who are habitually resident abroad.
The Romania adoption program is very small, and a program that is open ONLY to couples and single women who hold both US and Romanian citizenship. At this time there are no exceptions to this requirement.
Age of Children Available : Only children 3 years and older and sibling groups are referred for adoption.
Program Proceedure: These children are on a database with the Romanian Office of Adoptions. There are no "waiting children" in this program. The Romanian Office of Adoptions makes a match between prospective adoptive families and the children within their database. Families wishing to adopt through this program must complete all paperwork within the USA, and wait for the referral of a child.
Parent Qualifications: Romania requires families wishing to adopt to hold both Romanian citizenship and US Citizenship. There is flexibility in in the age of parents and the number of children currently being parented in the home. Single women and couples (only one must hold dual citizenship) may adopt.
Travel: Both parents must travel and stay in Romania for a minimum of 30 days and appear in court. During the 30 days of placement of the child with the adoptive family in Romania, social workers from the local social services will visit and make reports for the court. A final decision will be issued after approximately 10 days to 2 weeks. At that time, the family could go home and come back in approximately 2 weeks, or stay until the paperwork (including new birth certificate, passport for the child and US Embassy appointment for the Visa is finished. Total of 60 days needed for the entire process
Timeline: Unknown at this time.
We strongly urge you to comply with the requirements established by the government of the country you are adopting from and complete all post-adoption requirements in a timely manner. Your adoption agency may be able to help you with this process and/or provide you with more specific guidelines.
If your agency is unable to help you with this, or no longer has an active program, it is suggested that you enlist the assistance of another agency that is able to help you complete the post-placement reports. If all else fails, filing the report directly with the embassy or Minister of Education of the country adopted from may be acceptable.
In Fall 2006, the following advice was obtained by Karen's Adopiton Links for all families who needed to file their own Post Placement Reports:

The split up of the Soviet Bloc contributed to the sudden adoption surge from Romania during the first half of 1991, following the overthrow of President Nicolae Ceausescu. The government had been instituting policies aimed at increasing the population but extreme poverty led many families to abandon their children. American television broadcasted children wallowing in terrible conditions in Romanian institutions, which led many to adopt. In June of 2001 the Romanian government put a moratorium on international adoptions after negative press, and officially banned it four years later.
As of 2012 there are about 49,484 institutionalized children in 940 orphanages according to the Romanian National Institute of Statistics. More than half are boys, and about 1/3 are under the age of 11 years. Another 30,000 live in foster homes. It has been said by many in the field that there are tens of thousands more children living on the street who are not being counted. The adoption laws are complex, which has led to few being adopted in country.
We strongly urge you to comply with the requirements established by the Romanian government and complete all post-adoption requirements in a timely manner. Your adoption agency may be able to help you with this process and/or provide you with more specific guidelines.
If your agency is unable to help you with this, or no longer has an active program, the Joint Council on International Services suggests that families in this situation contact them for guidance.

+ loving: Lost In Sofa, by Daisuke Motogi
posted by
This is such a fun sofa to have! I don't think I'd need a coffee or side table if I have this sofa.
Designed by Daisuke Motogi, Lost In Sofa has slots to hold items you might need while seated, from remote controls, to books, to a cup of coffee!
From the designer: "Things often get lost under the sofa. It's ordinary for a coin which slipped out of your pocket, or a never-to-be-found remote to be accidentally found in between/underneath the sofa cushions. Maybe you'll find a forgotten 10,000yen bill that you once hid there..."
Hmmm... I wonder if they have a matching footstool to go with it?

Consumers networks and search equilibria
We explore the effect of local information sharing among consumers on market functioning. Consumers are embedded in a consumers network, they may costly search non-sequentially for price quotations and the information gather are non-excludable along direct links. We first show that when search costs are low consumers randomize between searching for one price and two price quotations (high search intensity equilibrium). Otherwise, consumers randomize between searching for one price and not searching at all (low search intensity equilibrium). In both equilibria consumers search less frequently in denser networks. The main result of the paper show that when search costs are low the expected price and the social welfare increase, while the consumer surplus decreases, as the consumers network becomes denser. These results are reverse when search costs are high.

Shpittsburgh is electing a new mayor and the fate of the city hangs in the balance. A freshly-revived Uncle Evil (David Dietz) is running for mayor of Shpittsburgh against the beloved incumbent, Mayor Bupkis, and is rapidly gaining in the polls! Agent Emes (Matti Wechsler) is on the case, and knows that Uncle Evil's success is more than just the result of his awful personality. The fearless secret agent soon discovers that Shpittsburgh's problems are due to the oldest, most serious spiritual failing of all: Idol Worship! To make matters worse, there is a city-wide Mitzvah challenge, and Benzi Epstein (Agent Emes' alter ego) is failing miserably in his attempt to bring world-famous golfer, Zak Schneiderman back to the fold of Torah observance. Several seemingly disconnected events come together in the kind of exciting climax that Jewish children everywhere have come to expect from this professionally-made, amusing, entertaining, and action-packed series. Agent Emes creator, Leibel Cohen, has once again crafted a memorable adventure tale which explores the following Torah themes: Anger and Idol Worship Divine Providence, The Good and Evil Inclinations, The essential bond every Jew has with Hashem. Running Time: 52 minutes
