(review) Variety: Neil LaBute's 'Full Circle'
Neil LaBute's first foray into TV, "Full Circle," a half-hour series premiering on DirecTV's Audience Network, shrewdly taps into his talents, and employs a tightly constructed format sure to attract big-name actors, who can flit in for what amount to limited engagements. Granted, performers might love it more than a lot of viewers do, but the show's "La Ronde"-style story should appeal to a discerning premium-TV-caliber audience.

Gaming Questionnaire
I came across a unique gaming blog called "Cannot Be Tamed", and there was a questionnaire posted (reminds me of my Qualitative Research class). I haven't filled out a gaming questionnaire in ages (since I think the old MySpace days). So I thought I'd take some time to respond to the questions since I can't sleep at the moment anyways!
1. When did you start playing video games?
Not sure which age, around age four.
2. What is the first game you remember playing?
A tie between Pac-man, Frogger, and Donkey Kong. These were arcade handheld units.
3. PC or Console?
Console, I played much more on them.
4. Xbox, PlayStation, or Wii?
Each console has their own pros and cons, but I've played the most on Original Xbox/Xbox 360.
5. What's the best game you've ever played?
That's a tough question to answer. I don't have a "best game", but rather favorites in each genre.
6. What's the worst game you've ever played?
I've played a lot of terrible Indie Games on Xbox 360 that were so bad I don't even remember their names.
7. Name a game that was popular/critically adored that you just didn't like.
Just about any Call of Duty game and most sports games.
8. Name a game that was poorly received that you really like.
The first game that comes to mind is "Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon". Most underrated Wii game.
9. What are your favourite game genres?
Music/rhythm, RPG (when I have time), Action, Adventure, and anything with ingenuity.
10. Who is your favourite game protagonist?
My favorite video game character…that's difficult to answer. I always thought Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII was really cool.
11. Describe your perfect video game.
A mix between spending time in Balamb Garden in Final Fantasy VIII, Animal Crossing, Care Bears in the sky (the 80's version) and bits of Lumines.
12. What video game character do have you have a crush on?
I have a soft spot for Jigglypuff. All joking aside, Aeris or Rinoa from the Final Fantasy series, which is much in part to their emotional storylines.
13. What game has the best music?
Tough question. I really enjoyed the soundtracks in DDR Ultramix 2, Lumines, FF VII/VIII, and Chrono Cross.
14. Most memorable moment in a game?
I have quite a few, my most recent moment is the radio tower scene in Tomb Raider.
15. Scariest moment in a game?
Probably in Resident Evil (Gamecube). I was in a cave and some type of monster appeared out of nowhere!
16. Most heart-wrenching moment in a game?
Aeris dying in Final Fantasy VII. I was a kid at the time and wasn't expecting that. Couldn't play the game for years.
17. What are your favourite websites/blogs about games?
Too many to mention. I have some bookmarked on my delicious.com profile. Some include Unseen64, PS Home Gazette.
18.What's the last game you finished?
I finally completed Jet Set Radio Future (after 12 years?), and Syberia II (both on Original Xbox).
19. What future releases are you most excited about?
Rise of the Tomb Raider, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Syberia III, and Rodea the Sky Soldier.
20. Do you identify as a gamer?
I suppose I would consider myself a gamer, but it's not a label I would attach to myself. I have multiple interests!
21. Why do you play video games?
Immersion into a unique world. Storylines and music are two main elements. Also a great way to relax at home.

In some cases you can miss the needle in the haystack, in particular when there's a great deal of hay. We located this tidbit of news that might be rather worthwhile. You could check it out beneath.
@evleaks, has tweeted that the next generationSony Xperia tabletZ, aka theSony Xperia tablet Z2, will feature a 10.1 inchTriluminos full HD display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. The tablet Z narrowly lost out to the Nexus 10 in ourbest Android tablets roundup because of its display, which although good it wasnt as good as the300ppi display in the Nexus 10. Although it doesnt look like the new tablet Z will go beyond full HD, the inclusion of aTriluminos display could mean that this next iteration could be a true winner. Triluminos technology enables a LCD TFT display to show a wider range of colors making images appear richer and more vivid. This color boost is said to be as much as50 percent larger than that of a conventional LCD panel. The secret to this wider color range is the quantum dot.

I guess all my concerns from yesterday mean nothing today because, as always the case with this middle aged lady, I was dumped via email at around 2pm today.
the reason? "not ready to be a father."
("I also feel like at this time I need to let you know that I don't think I can get into anything serious right now with you. I thought I would be alright with you having a son, but the past few weeks it's become obvious to me that I'm not ready for that. I'm sorry, you are a wonderful person and totally deserve someone who is ready to share your life fully! I know, I'm a total loser")
Excuse me? Let it be known now that Gent never met SC. I never let him. My reasoning for this was a sound reason that any mother would tell you: your children are your life. You want to protect them from everything. You want them happy, safe, and secure. you want to be sure that no one will harm them EVER.
When you are dating, this is double the reason why one might say I am over protective. I don't talk about SC's father because there is nothing to say. I could delve into all the reasons why I have custody of SC and he does not, but I won't. SC is approaching 5 and the kid knows all the reasons why. I don't have to tell him. he's intuitive that way.
But no, I am not going to let a man I date meet SC until I am good and ready. We don't need another absent father figure. I never have my hopes up because it's the easiest way to get disappointed. Yet, even with all the barriers I put up, I am disappointed. But my friend Lara has a point "If they are in the middle age years and they have not been married and divorced, then there is something wrong with them."
I laugh, but she does indeed have a point. what's disappointing, I believe, is that someone can not understand that SC is an extension of me. In the peter pan mind of men, they want to be first in your life. They want to have the thought that you have only been with them. That you have only fallen in love with them. That you are there priority.
That is NEVER going to be the way it is. It's the "Virgin myth" I don't fit. I have an adorable child who I think about all the time. I talk about SC all the time. To try to have a date without mentioning my child is filled with awkward silences and stalled conversations. It would be like having an appendage amputated. SC is an extension of me.
So my take on this whole thing? His fucking loss.

A well-known Christian strap line . Not one that I've ever really tried to apply, although my thought patterns over the past few weeks have led me to the conclusion that to do so would be an improvement.
Have spent my free time meandering around Oxford, both with friends, and without. Everywhere I go, it feels like I'm plagued by memories of my ex-partner. Some are explicable, if I will visit paces where we went together on holiday. But it happens when I'm buying milk, and my internal model of my ex-partner comments on how weird we are as a human species for drinking it, or when I'm trying to reassure someone that it's ok to look after themselves before they care for a frail relative and my ex's voice echoes the same. Or when I'm at a Sunday school meeting and a parent proposes a discussion on the purpose of Sunday school, and my ex-partner pipes up about how evil it is.
That was horrible.
I can't get him out of my head. I want to replace his thoughts with Jesus'. Please God, let me think of what your actions would be, first.

Acquiring a premium location bungalow or farmhouse isn't everyone's cup of tea and the elite few that manage to accomplish this seek to furnish it with the right interiors and exteriors to stand out from the crowd. Having spent a significant portion in purchasing a premium residential space, individuals are then faced with the predicament of identifying the right material and designs that can uplift the décor and interiors as well. Looking to combine aesthetic and unique solutions with safety features leads most people to choose glass solutions over other materials. The widespread advancements in technology and design have transformed glass from a plain transparent sheet to a flexible and multi-purpose décor material.
Glass manufacturers have also found new and innovative ways to use this material by adding to its strength and durability. Glass solutions are no longer restricted to your door or window panels but can also be used on your flooring and staircases. Where earlier everyone seemed to rely on marble for these aspects, modern technology now brings you decorative and customizable glass solutions for an absolutely unique and fashionable look. Additionally, with enhanced security features these glass floors and staircase designs are also a safe and secure addition to your home.
Benefits of using glass solutions for your décor
- Trendy and modern glass designs instantly elevate your interiors while adapting to reflect your personality and individuality.
- An expansive glass flooring in your house customized with a modern design can instantly elevate your décor and give your home a unique quality.
- Glass offers several aesthetic solutions in the form of various prints, colour and design, adding a whole new dimension of elegance and magnificence to your home.
- Smooth and hassle-free, glass is resistant to damage by water or heat making it a highly durable and trouble-free element.
- Toughened glass solutions are sturdy options that are safe even around children. These are shatter-proof and in the eventuality of damage, do not crumble into sharp shards but rather small pieces, preventing injury.
- Opting for glass railings along the staircase also eliminates the concern of rust as encountered over time with metal railings. Additionally, the smooth surface of glass also makes it easier to clean and maintain.
When planning glass solutions for floors and staircases, certain additional aspects can also be considered. Individuals can opt for custom designs or under lighting on the glass floors, or even a varying range of transparency for a play on reflection angles of light.
However, even though glass floors and staircases bring a magnificent allure and charm to your home, there are certain points that need to be considered. Some of these include:
- Avoiding sharp or hard objects with a heavy concentrated weight on glass flooring designed only for regular walking use.
- Planning sections of glass floorings where furniture will be placed in advance to ensure the thickness of the flooring is compensated for the excess weight.
- Ensuring that the lights used under the glass flooring or staircase do not produce excess heat which can over time damage the glass.
- A purely transparent glass may, especially in balconies, may make certain people uncomfortable. Instead, one can opt for a slightly tinted or obscure glass that looks classy but does not display the ground below.
The right window supplier can help you tackle all these issues and more while ensuring that your home looks stylish and elegant.
Apart from being aesthetically pleasing, glass solutions in your interiors and exteriors can also be customized for a series of benefits ranging from sound-proofing, insulation, security and privacy. Toughened glass solutions are much stronger than regular glass and can safeguard your interiors. This glass is impossible to break through and offers enhanced security for your space. Additionally, glass solutions can also be customized to drown out noise from outside or even prevent excess heat from filtering in without blocking the sunlight. Glass solutions in the form of frosted or etched glass work wonders to stylize a section while adding to one's privacy. These solutions work perfectly in the bedroom or in the kitchen.
Depending on your space and requirements, glass manufacturers' can create perfect solutions for you that are stylistic, fashionable yet practical. Versatile and ecological, glass is the go-to element for anyone looking for a sophisticated solution to enrich their interiors and bring a layer of sophistication to their home.

So I spent last evening in Atlanta with some awesome friends. I'm feeling recharged, awake and alive and ready to write! But I thought I'd be a little silly and share another personal story that happened this past summer in Atlanta. Don't worry, I'll still return to the lovely waiter tale again. This is also the best way I have ever been hit on. Seriously, anyone who hits on me ever again will have to live up to this.
I travelled up to Atlanta for a friend's birthday. We decided to try out a bar we'd heard a lot about. It's a video game pub. Yes, you read that right. A video game pub. I am giant video game nerd and so are my friends so we were super excited. When we arrived, we discovered that because we have girl boobs we get to play for free on Thursday nights.
After a lot of debate, and a couple of drinks, and figured out how the bar worked. To get the game we wanted to play we just had to check in with the bartender. As the bartender was helping get us settled in with Bioshock 2 he commented on my shirt. "So you only date ninjas?" It was only then I remembered the shirt I had put on:
I laughed a little, and told him yep, I only dated ninja and since they lived in the shadows it was always hard to find one. He smiled, get the Xbox set up and went back to work. I started playing Bioshock with my friends squealing and pointing out things. (That's why we play games, one person plays and everyone else points and squeals)
I was deeply engrossed in the game when all of a sudden, I see a blur out of the corner of my eye. I look up and see a ninja running towards me. The ninja throws a piece of paper into my lap and then disappears into the bar. All my friends were slackjawed, staring at me.
"What's the paper say?" someone asked.
I unfolded it and say a name and a phone number. I looked around the bar and spotted the bartender looking over at me. He smiled and pointed back to the TV I was playing Bioshock on. My poor character was dead and the game over screen was flashing.
I handed the controller to one of my friends and made my way to the bar to confront the ninja. We actually spent a few hours chatting and dancing around the bar. We even played a silly game of chess with a fantasy themed chess set. A while after midnight, I finally had to leave with my friends after one person had had a little much. I gave my number to the bartending ninja and he kissed my hand.
We texted back and forth for a few days after that, but since I live nowhere near Atlanta and only make it up there every few months, things faded out fast and now it's been months with no texts or calls. It is a little sad but honestly, that will probably always be the best way I have been hit on.
What's your best being hit on story? Let's have some giggles this Monday!

Funding until 2016!
The TRR 61, which started in 2008, was again approved by the German Science Foundation for the upcoming next 4 years. Physicists, chemists, biologists and material scientists are cooperating within the TRR 61. About 7 Million Euros will be available for the next funding period. In 2008 the TRR 61 was the first intercontinental research project between Chinese and German nanoscientists with regard to its dimension and quality. In the meanwhile the Transregio grew up to 23 individual projects, implemented by groups from Beijing and Münster, which are investigating molecular assemblies and their potential technological applications. In fact they analyse the basic mechanisms of molecular systems, specifically the multiple interactions, cooperative effects and the dynamic behavior of selforganising molecules.

(This is blog #3 about songs featured on my new project "Creation EP".)
9 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."
We've all been there. That moment when you know you've blown it. You screwed up and now you have to deal with it. You saw something you wanted, and you took it. A thing, a feeling, a position. You wanted it and you made it happen, and in your mind ignoring what the consequences may or may not be. You said it and now you can't take it back. You ate the fruit. For a few moments, it was sweet. It was a rush, a wave of adrenaline, but in your gut you knew it wouldn't last. You may have proved a point, but it wasn't the point you wanted to prove.
"To the Dust" is about that moment. It's about that feeling of disconnection when you hurt someone you care for. Adam is in the garden, and he and Eve swayed from the path, and it interrupted their communion with the divine. What they wanted, they got, and it turns out that what they wanted wasn't good for them.
"Sin" is a funny thing. For a long long time we've used the Scriptures as a rulebook. Do this, don't do that. Say this, believe this, don't believe that. Love these people, exclude those people. Obviously, the Scriptures give us great insight on how to avoid hurting ourselves and the people around us. Most of these principles found in Scripture are there for our own protection, and for good reason. Every day we see the results of actions that hinder human flourishing.
But I think, it goes deeper than that. Deeper than set of rules and regulations. I like to think of it as a flow. We all make mistakes. All of us, all the time. And I don't think it's healthy to beat ourselves up over it. Move on, make it right, and try to do better. But the flow, that's in the heart. When we separate ourselves from this divine flow, that's what I think sin truly is, and sometimes it takes us a while to even recognize the separation. We cut our communion with God and deep down we long for restoration. We long for the divine breath to "breathe us back to life". I think this is why men like David, who was an adulterer and a murderer, was called a man after God's own heart. He was in that flow.
People like to hypothesize about Adam and Eve. What if they never did this or that?Honestly, those questions aren't that interesting to me. What is interesting to me is how we overcome our shortcomings. How we love each other through it. How we forgive, and restore. How we make things right. How we have community even though we're diverse in appearance, beliefs, and culture. David paid the price for his actions, and so did Adam. They caused much pain, suffering, and grief. But it wasn't too much to be overcome by the divine. What would our concept of restoration be if we had never experienced separation? They are inseparable, at least here on this planet, and I think there is a grand lesson to be learned there. Richard Rohr states "God refuses to be known intellectually. God can only be loved and known in the act of love; God can only be experienced in communion." I love stories of forgiveness, love, and reconciliation, and I am hopeful that I can make my own life one of those stories. That is what "To the Dust" is all about.

Its really about risk management, says Alex Hall, U.S. head of health and safety for aggregate and construction material for LafargeHolcim. We have different hazard profiles for different sides of the business. We maintain some global standards, but they are pretty generic and dont take into account what is required from a local perspective. You cant look at them in isolation. LafargeHolcim has a U.S. health and safety committee comprised of people across the company. Together, this team develops standards for the country. Once the general company-wide standards are met, regulatory requirements must be reviewed and complied with. Take lock-out/tag-out or energy isolation: We develop a standard and then present it to the team, Hall says. The committee reviews it to see how applicable it is in the different segments of the business and then ensures that all the regulatory requirements are met, at a minimum. When the standards are implemented, LafargeHolcim provides the knowledge and skills needed to adhere to them through a training program that Paediatric First Aid Training validates its competency. The training vehicle we use is Convergence, a very robust video, Hall says.

(WWLP) When you think of first aid, what comes to mind? Probably helping someone with a physical injury, but mental health professionals are trying to change how you identify first aid. On Saturday, people from multiple professions received training on mental health first aid. They learned the warning signs of a mental health disorder and substance use disorders. Jean Hobbie of the Hatfield Mental Health Awareness Committee, told 22News, People from all walks of life are here to learn how to recognize and respond and help people in need. We want to help all of us learn how to de-stigmatize mental health. Just as if we had a broken leg we would seek treatment for that broken leg, well if we had a mental health crisis beginning its also important to seek treatment. Professionals compare it to how CPR training is to prepare non-professionals to help someone experiencing a cardiac crisis. Through this training, attendees will be able to recognize risk factors and warning signs for depression mood disorder and anxiety disorder, along with other mental health issues. Outreach counselorHusain Mohamed told 22News, Most of the clients that I work with do have mental health problems, so I came to take this course so I could start to see when problems are starting to happen before it gets serious so I can intervene and help people out before it gets too bad. Many professionals believe this training is important, especially for people who work with children. This summer, all of the teachers in the Hatfield school system will go through this training. The training was sponsored by the Hatfield Mental Health Awareness Committee.

We're not in the business of taking a line on things, but we are in the business of getting involved and making space for people to discuss, learn, reflect. So:
On Friday 23rd at 4pm we will be having a meeting, in ULU room 3B
Gaza: The Politics of the Escalation
Speakers tbc, to include Israelis and Palestinians
The latest conflagration in Gaza took everyone by surprise, sharply breaking from the pattern of escalation and deescalation that dominated the conflict ever since Operation Cast Lead. We will meet to try and understand the dynamics that drive the players against each other, but also the internal politics – Hamas vs Fatah, Islamic Jihad and other groups, and Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak's bid to retain power after the general elections early next year. We will also look at the West Bank – which has seen lethal clashes between Palestinian protesters and the IDF – and consider the international players: how different is the Middle East after the Arab Spring, and how different is newly reelected Obama?

Laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the inorganic nitrogen leaching of NH4-charged zeolitite (chabazite-bearing). Two columns, filled with zeolitite enriched in ammonium by mixing with swine manure and NH4Cl solution, respectively, were flushed with synthetic rain water in saturated conditions. Ammonium content in the leachate solution of the first column was higher than that measured in the second column, but in both cases it represented less than 9% of the total exchangeable ammonium. A small amount of nitrate, deriving from the exchange method with manure, was also found in the first column. The quantity of ammonium remained in the zeolitite after leaching was determined via cation exchange with KCl. The results of this study suggest that the NH4-charged zeolitite is only little affected by nitrogen leaching by rainfall and could be safely used as soil conditioner for agricultural purposes.

Book of SEG (cont.)
Oh, it has its strong points; for getting somewhere just slightly faster than your legs can carry you, there are few products that compare. Persons with legitimate physical limitations may indeed benefit from this alternative to powered wheelchairs and scooters. And for a brief while, devotees of high-tech gadgets had a field day before the next shiny gizmo with limited long-term usefulness came along.
At one of the first Segway launch parties, they lined up twenty Segways with messengers carrying gift baskets and had them "race" the length of the huge hall where the launch party was held. I think the messenger with a champagne and caviar won. His gift basket container was a beautiful bamboo carrying case with a handle which made carrying the gift basket while steering the segway that much easier. See if you can carry a gift basket while riding one of these. Its a new challenge. After the race there was a raffle where all the gift baskets were raffled off. I was one of the lucky raffle winners. I thoroughly enjoyed my premier wine gift basket with its trio of prestigious wines, smoked salmon, cheese and crackers, large vanilla caramels, peanuts, almond roca, and more. I ended up buying a gift basket for my wife for her birthday, but I never bought a Segway!
What's Next for Segway?
The best minds of industry have obviously decided that more R&D is called for, more 'next-year's prototypes' must be unveiled, and more money and time must be wasted before we do what the people of our parents' or grandparents' generation had sufficient time, money, and motivation to do.
There's still an apparent connection between Segway and GM, although we haven't ever seen any promotion of this partnership that I am aware of. But there's always hope – quite clear that if the demand were there, this product would be in production. Perhaps the recession, fear of spending on new stuff, too geeky, too frail looking, too different – all common excuses or reasons, however your point of view. But the fact is that the world needs products like this. Not exactly like this, but products that can transport us without creating emissions or even fumes, while managing price and size. Puma would make a very cool city car – except the city's mass transit is kind of dealing with that. Still, we feel that both robotics and small scale transportation are going to converge and become available as a must have product. Although GM and Segway hope that the PUMA would reach the market by 2012 , that date has passed by and you still can't purchase one. Someday…

I called up the pizza place down the street and told them to bring us some grub. Man am I glad I got these survelance cameras installed. The pizza man showed up and seemed so damn anxious to get the hell out of there. We would soon discover why. See for yourselves.
