A while back, there was a bit of a stir around a study at New York University about how publicizing goals made people less likely to do the work to achieve the goal. Among others responding to the study, Erin had some good points about different people reacting differently in the same situation, and mentioned how important it is to try different techniques until you find what works for you.
One of the things I noticed about the study was that the goals were quite abstract. "I intend to make the best possible use of educational opportunities in law"? Okay, but I doubt that very many law school students would say "I plan to skip class today and play Frisbee on the quad," even if that's what they were planning to do. But beyond that, the connection between wanting to pursue one's educational opportunities, and engaging in difficult optional case analysis, is not direct. I'm sure the phenomenon they're studying is real, but it's not the whole story. If I'm studying civil tort, would analyzing criminal cases benefit me much? (Or vice versa.) Especially if I've got a test the next day and I can either study or do the extra cases?
And I wonder where fear of failure kicked in. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that a percentage of students looked at the first couple of cases (which are described as difficult), realized they were too hard, and just gave up. Or saw how hard they were, thought, "I can't do this," and gave up without saying that's what they did.
Or succumbed to bad time management, thinking they had time to do everything but then realizing they didn't.
I thought about this quite a bit while I was sick. I find it very difficult to transition from an abstract goal, like being the best writer I can be, to a specific goal, like, "What do I work on today?" Do I edit an old novel or start to write a new one? Would I be better off starting with short stories? What about planning for what to write in November?
And then even after I decide, I have trouble carrying it through. I either find out I took on too much, or I start second-guessing myself halfway through and find myself not working on either project. Right now, I'm stalled on the genie story because niggling doubt says, "Wait! You're supposed to be editing Joey!" But I know if I switch, that same voice will say, "Wait! You didn't finish the story!"
I don't know whether the problem is worse when I declare a public goal — certainly when I go to Forward Motion and say, "I'm going to do this dare," or "I'm going to participate in this marathon," it's a good way to make sure I have a stunning new idea for how to proceed on something else. Sometimes I make good progress on the other thing, but more often I find myself in the same bind, where no matter which one I work on, I feel like I should be working on the other one.
One of the things I'm thinking is that I need to break down what needs to be done into smaller, more specific pieces. Not just "work on this short story" or "write so many words" or "edit Joey for 5 hours," but "finish the love scene" and "rewrite the scene where he meets Alyssa." I'm also thinking that if I keep that list in order, with specifics for each project, it will matter less when I flip around among projects. Part of the problem with switching is that I have to reread, reorient myself, and figure out what I was going to do. If I have more specific information, it won't take as long to change context.
On the other hand, this all might just be an excuse to spend several hours of planning, and feel like l've done something productive when all I've done is avoid real work.

1. This week's paper by Heylighen plausibly explains how the lubrication of many physical and informational processes works and adds new, complex problems. While this paper emphasizes the amount of information and how a global (connected) brain could cope with it, Lisa's great analysis sheds light on the new problems of a special process that has also become more lubricated: Finding connections on the Internet.
Of course it seems very positive that the friction of connecting has been so much reduced. But similarly as described in Heylighen's paper, new problems of losing control arise. In the case of getting too connected, these problems are e. g. skewing balance of natural vs. unnatural pastimes, or even addiction.
This is a particular issue for educators, since children may be especially susceptible to overdoses. Lisa's metaphor of food is useful here, as well: Before our food supply was "lubricated", the "friction" of ingesting calories was generally higher (hunting, preparing, eating, digesting) but with sweets the efforts for calories were minimized. Just like kids love sweets, we love to get interesting connections with ever less efforts. And we need to find out when there is too much and what is most healthy.
2. Another indication of our new problems with internet over-emphasis became evident last week when the topic was groups and networks. Although this would have been the week to discuss also the sameness vs. similarity on the conceptual level, only the external/ social level was focussed (and I admit, I also forgot the other).
I think there is also another reason why the connections on internet/ social/ external level are so prominent: Because the connectivism ideas are much more provocative here.
The idea that knowledge resides outside of ourselves, is really fascinating, and there are quite a few aspects where I admit the ideas are very close to plausible:
- the strong congruence between people and the concepts they raised in their blogs – this gives me kind of a sense of place of knowledge when I try remembering where I read about a certain concept, and I retrieve it at the blogger's place;
- the idea of knowledge as navigating the connections – this comes to mind when I navigate my various folder shortcuts, gradually strengthening the memory connections about which topics have tighter ties;
- the idea of the external extension of the "visuo-spatial sketchpad" of the short-term memory in visualization think-tools,
- or ultimately, the idea of the outboard brain auxiliary, in devices such as GPS, see David Brooks (via Downes).
All this lets external connections appear as if they could incarnate knowledge of the same kind as the conceptual one (I don't talk here about the knowledge in the other, simple sense of the word that is already present in encyclopedias on shelves). But I cannot accept that they are knowledge.
Appearing as if, comes from being similar to connections of the conceptual and neural level. But being, means sameness. The former describes a pattern while the latter claims equality. I think the interesting part of connectivism is to highlight patterns that are visible on all three layers, like the unifying neural metaphor, not the equivalence postulated by a unifying theory.

Sinatra Rocks! Ol' Blue Eyes' Best, Worst and Surreal Pop Covers
Legendary crooner took on songs by Paul Simon, Neil Diamond and Jim Croce
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" (1971)
John Denver's melancholic ballad about hitting the road and leaving behind his loved one (a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary) sounds like it was written for Sinatra, even if it wasn't. The sense of road weariness heard in "Both Sides Now" is even more ingrained here: You can hear in Sinatra's voice all the years of touring, sleeping in hotels and hanging out in dressing rooms. Except for a splash of brass in the chorus, the arrangement mostly restraints itself. One of the highlights of Sinatra's pop period.

This is the first Canada Day after the fall of Stephen Harper.
It's a day on which we get to be proud of our home, our heritage, the soil that gave us life. It's a day we get to truly take pride in ourselves. For the first time in the adulthood of many young people I know, we can also take pride in what we stand for on the international stage, and in what we offer to the rest of the world.
That's a funny word, pride.
It's significant in many ways that Canada Day coincides with the wrap-up of Toronto's massive LGBTQIA+ Pride festival, with others still to come in other cities all across Canada. The queer community does not hold a monopoly on small-p pride, of course. But it has been doing pride right for a long time, and has a lot to teach straight Canadians about what it really means to be proud.
National pride isn't about about simple stupid patriotism. It's not about unthinking obedience to whatever rich guy in a suit ascends to Sussex Castle, no matter whether his chief vice is too much love for himself, or too much hatred for others.
Pride is never unthinking. Pride must never be unthinking. Pride is the perfect union of thinking, and feeling, and judging what is thought and felt to be good. Pride is in the valuing of the self; and this social kind of pride—the kind felt by the queer community in their parades and celebrations, the kind felt today by the whole "community of Canadians"—is in valuing above ourselves alone those best qualities that we share in common with others.
It's worth thinking why we're proud today, and what we're proud of—and how close we came to losing it. It's worth thinking about what we can do, and what we must do, to preserve all that is important to us: the strength we show through our kindness. The ferocity of our gentleness. The defiance of our love.
To be Canadian is not just to be "nice." It is to cling to an essential human compassion so strongly that only the bravest women and men can maintain it in this broken world of fear—compassion that the worst cowards within Canada and without abandon too casually, too quickly, amid the misguided lunacy that we cannot afford it, when in truth we cannot and will not go on without it.
Canada is not strong, not a leader in this world, because it has the biggest armies, or the most money, or the largest collection of nukes. We are not strong because we command the most land (though we've got plenty) or brew the best beer (we do) or play the best hockey (OK; scratch that; Canada is strong because we play the best hockey).
No, Canada is strong because we have kept our grip on something more important than money or weapons: values. We are world leaders because we are admired, and we are admired for fearlessly carrying the principles that others are quick to drop when threatened, quick to barter away in exchange for bedtime stories about greater security.
We are strong world leaders because when people are in trouble we open our doors instead of closing them.
We are strong because we see the good in others and invite them to make us stronger. We are strong because we do not atrophy behind walls. We are world leaders because we enter the world and lead it, not because we hide behind our militaries and our fortunes and insult it.
We are the promise to the ravaged corners of the world that we hear their cries for help more loudly than their battle-cries. We are the promise to the world that the perilous powers of development and prosperity need not be abused. We are the promise that it is worth suffering to be good. We are the promise that there is always a better way.
This is the first Canada Day since the fall of Stephen Harper. It's not the end of racism and xenophobia in Canada. It's certainly not the end of hate crimes. But it is a period in which we have determined as a nation not to legitimize these blemishes on our beautiful but imperfect democracy with the tacit support of our national identity. It is a period defined across a variety of fields, by what we have determined is acceptable, and what is unacceptable. It is a period in which we must consider the mistakes we could have made—mistakes that are so very tempting and sweet-sounding, in a frightening world of uncertainty and terror—and take pride in how very few of them we chose to make, how fewer still we choose to go on making.
This is the day we speak with understanding rather than hostility to the people of the world, inside our borders and out, who are not truly Canadian. I'm not talking about immigrants: I'm talking about those on all sides of all conflicts who are too wounded by fear, too helpless against the shadow of otherness, to hold to the valorous compassion that defines our Canadian spirit. This is the day we reach out to them, not with guns, but with friendship. This is the day we tell them, and tell ourselves, the words that DO define us Canadians in all things:
"O Canada, we stand on guard for thee."
We're with you. We've got your back.
With all the kerfuffle (there's a good Canadian word) over the other lines of the National Anthem right now, we forget all about this one. We stand on guard for thee. We assume, because of the singular "thou/thee" and the grammar of the past lines, that we're referring to Canada herself as the object of this sentence. But are we? Doesn't Canada stand on guard for everyone, in our own way? Isn't that the whole meat and drink of what we do?
We care, and we help; and we have the strength to keep on doing them both after everybody else quits. Let the Americans stop caring, if they want, about their own mass shootings; let their Congressmen's secretaries mumble thoughts & prayers for the victims onto their Twitter feeds while they court the NRA lobbyists behind closed doors if that's what floats their boat. Let Britain gamely skydive of any partnership it wants, and take the Pound Sterling with them. If you're too afraid of your neighbours now to go on being good to them, it's no business of ours, eh?
But I am proud to be part of the country that keeps on being kind and generous in the face of fear. I am proud to be Canadian in a world that needs Canada more than it ever has, because so many good folks out there have lost that little piece of Canada in themselves—that little piece of courageous compassion that belongs to all humans no matter where you were born.
We've come a long way for a country
about aboot to embark on its 150th year. To England, to China, to India and Russia, we're the virtual babies of the globe. But as a species, the project of building Canada has taken the human race so much longer than that to accomplish. The many diverse people who have come to Canada over the last thousand years has helped us build this precious, extraordinary thing—especially, of course, those First Peoples who were here all along, and on whose land we have done all the building, and whom we could and should make a more active part of that project. But even with their input, we remain a settler nation, an immigrant nation, and maybe for the rest of the world that's a good thing: we are leaders in the world because we are of the world: we come from all across it, we find our roots all over it, we still care about it, we still live in it, it nourishes us, it has sent us the very best people from all over the world, and it continues to do so. We are in England's debt, and Europe's, and Asia's, and Africa's, and the debt of many other places besides: we are a patchwork quilt in whose blocks all the colours of the world can be seen, and for that we remain in debt to them—every nation in every place.
In part, what makes us Canadian is that we have not forgotten that debt. The world has lent us its virtues, and we are Canadian only insofar as we reflect and return those virtues when they're needed most. Prime Minister Trudeau's "Sunny Ways" mantra may be easier said than done, easier framed than implemented; but while our politicians bicker, as politicians always do, over the best ways to achieve our noble goals for ourselves and our global neighbours, that bickering is barely relevant: what's important is that we mean to do right again, in all things. It's only natural in a complex cross-cultural global community to disagree over what that actually means.
I'd like to take this occasion to offer, again, this definition of what it is to be spiritually Canadian; it's a definition that will catch many people who were not born here, and many more who have never even set foot here:
Canadians are strong enough to be kind. They are brave enough to be compassionate. They are fierce in their gentleness. They are defiant in their love. They have your back. They are the last to give up hope, the last to fall prey to fear, the very last people to let terror turn them cruel. And they're damn good at hockey, besides.
I'm proud to be Canadian today, even though I don't know a slapshot from a toe drag. It's a day I've waited a long time for.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a two-four to divvy up with my fellow Canucks, eh?

Sandra Bullock, is that you?
The star is busy filming her new movie, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in New York, and her costumes are a far cry from the glamorous frocks we're used to seeing her in on the red carpet.
Bullock sported a business-like uniform of dowdy khaki skirt-suit, flesh-coloured tights and sensible heels on set, as well as a frizzy hairdo - a far cry from the actress's normally sleek-straight locks.

How to Decide What to Post on Your Small Business Instagram
Even though you are a busy small business owner who might not buy all the hype surrounding social media, you've finally caved to pressure and carved out the time in your schedule to put up an instagram account for your business, only to realize after the fact that you don't really know how to go about using it. It's important to realize that the way the vast majority of instagram users go about utilizing it is intrinsically different from how a business should approach the tool. In the sea of selfies and pictures of random locations, your business has a focused mission, which is to promote your products, location or services.
It's important to convey a personality that goes with your business message. One thing to be aware of when using instagram is that at this point, the service is highly saturated with beautiful pictures. To stand out, you are going to require something which is a lot more rare to encounter; a real sense of personality and a message behind your brand. You should already have a clear idea of your target demographic as well as what kind of content they respond to. If not, do some market research. Once you have an idea of where they stand in terms of interest, devise some hashtags that can help interested parties discover your content. When you have your plan of attack laid out, then you can begin to start creating posts.
Don't neglect all the aspects of instagram when creating posts. While instagram is primarily an image sharing network, there is also the capability to share short videos similar to the primarily video dedicated network, Vine. Spicing up your feed with some video can bring a deeper level of engagement to your followers than still images alone. That said, you should be trying to think of creative ways to document both your finished products as well as some of their potential uses. Documenting your processes is another good strategy to employ, as consumers are generally interested in what goes into the products that they purchase.
You can also use the comment feature to broaden your network. Instagram, while primarily about creating and sharing content, is not a mute forum. If you see your follower posting relevant content, feel free to give them encouraging comments. It's called social media for a reason. You may be surprised how warmly people react to interaction from their favorite brands.

A Global Band of Hustlers
By our abysmal standards, our transit from Paris to Athens, and then to the Port of Piraeus, was relatively uneventful, notwithstanding the 4am start.
The inconvenience only began when our X96 bus from Athens Airport dropped us at the Port area. We disembarked happily, expecting to see our vessel, Prinsendam, sitting proudly in the water nearby. We were shocked to find that the cruise terminal was on the other side of the bay, some kilometres away.
As if to underscore the anguish of the moment, we were met by a bolt of lightening and a clap of thunder!
(Seriously! I'm not making it up!)
A nearby taxi driver kindly offered us a ride; his offer being conveyed through the medium of an impatient shout from the seat of his car in a language which was not immediately apparent.
I inquired how much it would cost for him to take us to the cruise terminal and he responded `approximately' 20 Euros. I asked whether his use of the word `approximately' meant it could be less and he said: `No, could be more'.
When I pointed out that we were only asking him to drive a maximum of 2.5 kilometres, our entrepreneurial cabbie responded by observing that there were two of us, we both had luggage and it was raining. I asked, politely, how any of those factors affected the magnitude of the fare and he remained mute, but gave me look which said: "You're the one that's gunna get wet, not me."
I decided to make a counter-offer. By the reaction I got, a casual observer would have thought I'd offered him a kick in the teeth, rather than 10 Euro. In any event, he told me that 15 to 18 Euro was (were) his bottom line(s) and at this point the negotiation ended.
It seems to us that every taxi driver we meet is a bandit.
Left to our own devices – and in a defiant mood – we waited for a pause in the rain and proceeded to drag our rather heavy bags around the hemisphere of the Port. By the time we arrived at the embarkation hall, ready to board Prinsendam, we were each dripping both with rainwater and sweat. But at least we had the satisfaction of imagining the greedy taxi man grinding his teeth unhappily, wishing he'd accepted the offer of an easy 10 Euro.

Today was Sam's four-month check-up. He was such a trooper – as usual. He did not cry for the first shot – I think he only realized during the second one what was going on. But he only cried for a minute and then zonked out by the time we got to the car. Staying healthy is hard work for a baby.
We got the green light from the pediatrician to start him on solid foods. I am excited about the idea, but also a bit nervous. I know he can't live on formula forever and my wallet will thank me for feeding him something else as well… But it's such a big step for the little guy – it's the end of an era! But it will be so much fun to see him experience new tastes and textures. As with everything baby-related, there are numerous schools of thought on what and how to feed the baby. If I listen to my Mom, I would be giving him chicken paprika mushed up in a blender. If I listen to the books and the pediatrician, I should be feeding him bland rice cereal for weeks on end. I am hoping to find a nice little road somewhere in the middle – we'll start with apples and go from there.
The weather has finally turned springy over the weekend, so Sam had his first picnic experience at Fort Williams Park. This also meant that I got to practice outdoor feeding and outdoor poopy diaper changing. There's a first for everything. I think Sam had a good time – he loved the bagpipes (Drew was playing with his band). The wind, not so much.
We also had a visit from Uncle Torpe and Aunt Jenny. It is always awesome to hang with my brother and I'd like to think that Sammy likes him just a tiny bit more than other people, because I like my brother more than pretty much most people. Makes sense? Right.
(And just now, Blogger pooped out and won't let me post more pics… Argh.)
Ah, here we are… So look at them, aren't they cute together?
But of course, my other favorite view at the the end of a long day is this:

Simply put, the White House is prioritizing the president's reelection effort. Most heads of state will be here all week, but the president will be in New York less than 24 hours, and even then will spend most of his time away from this conference.
After landing in New York Monday afternoon, the president headed straight for a sit-down — not with visiting leaders, but with the ladies of "The View," for an interview to air tomorrow.
Last year at the U.N. General Assembly, President Obama held 13 one-on-one meetings with major leaders.
For Obama, diplomacy gets back seat to campaign

The Raymond Blanc Cookery School at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons with Kenwood Chef Sense
Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited to Raymond Blanc's beautiful Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Great Milton, Oxfordshire. I've wanted to visit for ages, so I was beside myself with excitement. As I drove up, I dithered outside the front gate in my car, not really knowing what to do, and instantly, a friendly gentleman in an immaculate suit rushed out to help, escorting me to the reception and driving my car off to park it for me. First impressions? Pretty darned good.
Inside Le Manoir, the staff are warm and friendly, saying hello politely as you pass. The decor is out of this world beautiful – I lingered in the divinely decorated bathroom far too long – we were led to a small lounge with a roaring fire and given champagne and delicious canapés. Heaven:
Next up, we met Head Tutor of The Raymond Blanc Cookery School, Mark Peregrine. Mark is absolutely lovely, so approachable and friendly, and we all headed off for a guided tour of the gorgeous gardens:
Mark explained that although the gardens are maintained (by SEVEN gardeners!) to be decorative and attractive to guests (some things are grown purely for aesthetics), the main focus is on supplying the kitchens with fresh produce for the restaurants. And then suddenly, a new guide appeared:
Raymond Blanc is ADORABLE. I'd heard before that he was lovely, but oh my goodness. He greeted us all like old friends and was so chatty and friendly as we wandered around the garden together. I must confess to a bit of a crush. He just has the loveliest ideas about food – he really feels passionate about simple, fresh food. At one time he was enthusing about how simple it is to cook an omelette and looked absolutely perplexed that people would put a microwave dinner in the oven rather than crack three eggs and cook them in a frying pan. I was riveted. His passion is completely infectious.
So next, then, it was on to the Cookery School, a beautiful building just across a small courtyard from the hotel. It's very high tech, full of stainless steel and efficient chefs bobbing about all over the place, but again, we were warmly welcomed and I was delighted to meet Raymond Blanc's Development Chef, Adam Johnson ('ADAAAAAM!' if you're familiar with Raymond's TV cookery series) who is equally as lovely and very patient. His patience was well and truly tested when I teamed up with lovely Lou from Crumbs and Corkscrews in what was to become known as the 'naughty corner' to use the Kenwood Chef Sense to make pastry for a delicious Comté cheese soufflé tart (we got there, but it was touch and go for a while). He loved us really…
Raymond Blanc also showed us how to use the Kenwood Chef to make a delicious chocolatey crumble mixture to go underneath a rich chocolate mousse – part of his incredible reverse chocolate crumble:
For the crumble base, we mixed
35g butter (unsalted)
35g demerara sugar
A tiny pinch of salt
30g flour
1.5 tsp cocoa powder
…in the Kenwood Chef Sense until the mixture just formed a crumble. This was layered finely at the bottom of a lined tart tin and baked at 170 degrees C for just 10 – 12 minutes then allowed to cool.
We then made a chocolate cream (note the combination of cream and milk – Raymond wants all his recipes to be as light as possible):
90ml cream
155g good quality chocolate (Raymond uses Valrhona)
1 egg (medium, free range, very fresh of course)
The cream and milk were combined in a saucepan and brought to boiling point, then this was poured into the Kenwood Sense where we'd already beaten the egg. The final touch was 155g of good quality dark chocolate. This was then poured over the crumble base and left to set.
The finished result was INCREDIBLE. Rich, yet light and silky, with the chocolate crumble adding delicious crunchy texture. I managed to get my tart home in one piece in the car but it was instantly devoured. I practically had to wrestle to get a small slice. For some reason, out of the hundreds of photos I seemed to take, I didn't take a single one of the tart – I'll try and track one down.
As for the machine itself, I was really impressed. There's a touch sensor to start the machine and an easy one-touch lever at the back of the machine to lift the head. Combine this with a brilliant soft start action with gradual speed increases – brilliant if you're often startled by the start of your mixer and enveloped in clouds of icing sugar. It's also lovely and smooth – none of that clattering across the work surface when you're whisking flat out. I'm not sure of the technical words, but it has a special sensor, so if it's struggling with heavy ingredients, it will adjust itself and slow down.
The attachments clip on with an easy half turn, and the new splashguard fits snugly right over the top of the bowl, making it much cleaner to use. I loved it (I hope you're reading this, Father Christmas?!). Massive thanks to everyone at Le Manoir, especially Monsieur Blanc himself, lovely Becca, Mark and Adam. Oh and of course, Kenwood!

Today is my birthday! I am 14 years old today. I am told that is a lot of years for one little spaniel type girl and so Ludo was forced by Mum 2 to let me talk about being old.
I got a cake and a cookie. I am really too old for toys now and only sometimes will I pick one up now and Ludo usually pinches it from me, so cakes and treats were just fine for me. Of course I had to share my special dog bakery cookie with Ludo and my cake, but I still have cake left for the next few days!!
Really, being old is not so bad! Sure, I do have to go to the vets more, and I don't get to run around off lead any more but I can get away with so many things that would have gotten me told off in my younger days. Like begging for food, or getting on the sofa when I'm all wet or picking up dead seagulls. Now if I ask for pudding after my dinner people say 'oh, let her have it.' I get to sleep for as long as I want and I have lots of comfy cozy beds and when I decide it's bedtime I get the bedroom door opened for me. Ludo is not even allowed in my bedroom. Ludo gets told 'be nice to Penny.' all the time!
Although lots of things have gotten a lot less noisy (sometimes peoples mouths move but the sound doesn't come out any more, it is very strange!) I can still hear when people come to visit ME at the door and I can still jump up and down up and down until they stroke me and then roll over for them to stroke my tummy. I even learnt a new trick this year. I learnt to woowoo for treats. Now I can do about 6 tricks! I am not sure if I have really gotten wiser, but I sure have learnt how to use my big brown eyes and soft velvety ears to good effect.
I may be getting lumps and bumps and grey hairs but I am still beautiful. Everybody tells me I am and calls me Pretty Penny.
I still have a bounce in my body and a spring in my step and I love everybody and everybody loves me. They even love me when I bark when they are not there, or sometimes when I think they are not there but it turns out they were just sitting behind me and I forgot to turn around. I still love to go on my walks and I get just as excited to go as Ludo, only mine are shorter now. I still greet Mum 2 just like I haven't seen her in years and she is my most favourite person in the world even though I see her everyday when she comes to get Ludo. She says it doesn't matter that I greet everyone that way, even if I have just seen them.
My heart is so big and full of love for everyone and everything that the vet people say it is getting very tired. I have been taking tablets for about a year now and I am usually very good about eating them. Sometimes I find it hard to breath and then I go back to the vets and get more tablets and it gets better for a while. They say I should take it easy but you can't take the springer out of the spaniel!
The vets say it may be time for me to go soon. I think that is silly. Where else would I want to go? I have always just been HERE.
Yours, forever,
Not-Auntie Penny,
oops, I mean Auntie Penny. Us old ladies are always gracious.

I'm hoping to have a chance to bake some more cookies this year, especially now that I have 5 brand new cat-shaped cookie cutters. The thing is that I'm on deadline with a couple of projects, and with Sharon home for a few days it is hard to get in all the "let's just do this" things that we ought to while maintaining the pace on the stories.
If I do bake cookies I'll try to take some pix ... but there are still a few other oookies left.. whcih I'll work on RSN, you betcha.

This summer I definetely want to read Taiye Selasi's 'Ghana Must Go'. I saw it in Waterstones and I was immediately gripped by the colourful front cover. The book discusses the importance of where we come from and how this relates to who we are. In the narrative we travel all around the world from Accra to Lagos to London and New York.
Taiye Selasi herself is a Nigerian and Ghanian writer and photographer and I think her personal touch through her own mixed heritage will add to the book.
Can't wait to read it.

I know, WOW, a whole month has nearly passed since I've written and posted in here for you. Sorry for the silence. We took some much-needed time out to relax and nurture ourselves. It was also time to celebrate Michael's 40th Birthday, so we decided to get away for a couple of weeks down to Michael's family's farm in Tasmania.
It's been 2.5 years since we've visited so it was a much-needed trip in many ways. We were once used to getting down there at least twice a year. So it was just wonderful to get back down there and enjoy some quality time with his folks, who we just adore, and to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful, refreshing pace and environment that Tassie offers.
We didn't do a lot of touring or sight-seeing while we were there. The boys weren't really up for that. So we simply enjoyed the beauty of his family's farm, the magical sunny days and rejuvenating fresh air. His Mum and Dad have chooks and sheep on their farm, as well as many tractors, billy-carts, ride on lawn mowers, Utes and trucks for the boys to enjoy rides on. Tully was in his element the whole time!
Michael often found him in the shed, playing in the "big red fire truck" (it is just a big old Ute, sorry I don't know my automobile history, so no idea what vintage). He was pretending it was his fire truck and he was out attending a fire, talking on the radio to the other fire fighters, sounding the horn, and driving it up the big bumpy roads. Don't you just love the way toddlers have magical fantasy lands of make-believe and endless imaginations. Always makes me smile when I see my two playing in this way.
The boys were also completely taken by the chooks. Nan has a great little chook house and the boys would follow her each morning to feed the chooks, and collect the eggs. The best eggs ever, YUM! We also found a nest of native hen eggs in one of the paddocks too which the boys were fascinated by.
A few days into our stay Michael's Aunty bought over some baby Bantam chicks called Frizzles. They were so funny with their little fluffy feathers sticking out in all directions. The boys were smitten and sat with these 3 chicks for hours each day. Tully was also completely calmed by the animals when he was holding them and playing with them.
It was shearing time while we were down there too. So for a whole day the boys got to watch the sheep being herded into the shearing shed and the shearers working hard to shear all of the sheep. The boys loved being close enough to pat the sheep for a change (they couldn't run away) and also feeling their fine wool. I think Tully even had a ride on the back of one sheep which was pretty funny.
The boys love animals as you can see and just love being outdoors in nature. I also love nature and being able to place my feet directly on the dirt so to speak. I feel so grounded when I do. It can be quite surprising some days when you re-track your footsteps and look at how little natural ground you've walked upon. Our environments can be so man-made and built up. I think I was as smitten as the boys on the farm.
It's currently Spring here and my mother in-laws gorgeous garden was in full bloom when we visited. I was surrounded by plenty of natural beauty and inspiration. I have many beautiful blooms to share with you in my next post. I'll wrap this one up here and leave you with a couple of images of how I enjoyed some of my time down on the farm, completely blissed out in the sunshine looking up at the sky and drawing and writing in my journal. Ahhh, pure heaven!

The elections in the North and the East set for the 23rd July would be a deciding factor for Sri Lanka's future development, progress and un-interfered existence as a unitary Nation.
For 30 years the North and East of Sri Lanka had remained in a state of paralysis while the world around advanced forward. Now that the terrorism that had put the people of the North and East into a mental stagnation for 30 years has been eliminated, the Tamil people of these two Provinces have to be awakened to actively participate in the present post terrorist development process.
The claim of a political devolution to the people of North and East, and that they should be given their rights to develop separately, is to keep them imprisoned in the mental set up forced upon them by the terrorists.
Terrorist wanted a separate Tamil Homeland, separated from the rest of the country. Now with the elimination of terrorism the Tamil people of the North and East have to be emancipate from this mental stalemate, and brought into a process of development along side the rest of the country.
This process of emancipation requires a new way of thinking. The Tamil People of the North and East have to be made to think differently from a strictly ethnic stand point, and taught to appreciate the fact that there is "no majority or minority" distinction as the President of Sri Lanka announced clear and loud immediately after the elimination of terrorism.
The future of the Tamil people of North and East is now along side the other communities –the Sinhalese, the Muslim, Burghers , Malays and the rest in the whole of Sri Lanka. The development of North and East is along with the South, and not separated from the South.
The resettlement of the IDPs in their former villages does not mean that they should be allowed to continue to live the way they lived before they were displaced, with their age old we Tamil mindset of the North and East. But they have now to be taught to think differently as Sri Lankans, a part of a Nation of Sri Lankans.
That is a new concept, freed from the concept of a Tamilness they had been made to accept for the last thirty years by the terrorists. This huge task of taking people from the old to the new way of thinking cannot be done by the Tamil political parties. The TNA and Ananadasangarees are living with their thirty year old political concepts, and they cannot help the people of North and East to break away from the old political shackles, and fall head long into a different development processes that is going on, along with the rest of the Communities.
The anti Sri Lankan Western Countries lead by UK,USA, France, the pro-terrorist Tamil expatriates, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International , UNO's Ban Ki Moon, UNCHR Navineetham Pillai and the rest of the crowd have not thought of this need to bring the Tamil people of the North and East into the new remarkable progressive development programs undertaken by the Government under the President Mahinda Rajapakse.
Their continued demand to give the Tamil people of the North and East a separate development program is not to help these people but to separate them from the main political stream isolating them in the process, and in doing so handicap the development projects that have been started.
The President of Sri Lanka Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse, is a man who has very progressive ideas claiming himself to be the President of the whole Nation of People . He is a determined man, who eliminated terrorism when every one including the powerful nations said that terrorism cannot be eliminated militarily.
He had thought out with wisdom, that giving the Tamil people, language rights is a step towards separating them from the rest of the communities. Therefore, he promoted the idea of developing English education , at the same time requesting the public servants to learn both the Tamil and the Sinhala languages. He built close relations with different religions to stop cultural segregation. He developed the transport system to bring the people of the South and the North closer.
Despite all these progressive undertakings of the President Mahinda Rajapakse, ever since he was elected he had been continuously criticized , accused and barriers put before him to dampen his enthusiasm, and make failures of his courageous undertakings. Nevertheless, in the face of all that opposition he has been able to trace a path of hope for the people as a whole without communal, religious, or cultural bias.
Unfortunately in spite of these progressive activities, in the previous elections, the Tamil people of the North and East mislead by the Tamil politicians of the TNA, did not show their support for the progressive policies of the President Mahinda Rajapaksa by voting for the candidates of the UPFA.
That refusal of the Tamil people of the North and East to vote for candidates put forward by the political party which represent the President, despite their having suffered under terrorism, was taken by those Western Countries opposed to the President and his government as a proof of the Tamil peoples' rejection of the Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse.
Everyone comes out with different sorts of accusations against the government, and makes proposals that are out dated and outmode. They are not to help the Tamil people but to distance them from the Government and keep the Tamil people out of the development process of the country.
There are those who want the implementation of the 13 Amendment to the Constitution as if that would be the end of all problems of the Tamil people. The 13 Amendment was proposed in 1987, but Sri Lanka has evolved since then. The terrorism which was the reason for the proposal of the 13 Amendment, is now non existent and therefore the 13th Amendment , which was proposed to solved the problems that existed then , is not useful to solve the present day problems of the Tamil people.
Those age old proposals of Chelvanayagam , Ponnambalam , Sundaralingam at al to solve ethnic problems are out dated now. therefore those solutions proposed by the ancient politicians should be replaced with new proposals not with an eye to keep the Tamil people separated, but to bring them in to the main political stream, where they should bury their ethnic difference, to join hands with all communities for a common goal of making Sri Lanka a Unitary Sovereign State.
JVP,TNA or even UNP have not come out with political solutions to a country which is fast developing . The Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse has done commendable effort to develop the infrastructure of the country from Dondra to Point Pedro. The North and East are being developed to bring them in line with the South. The garment exports which the opponents of the government claimed would be lost after the EU withdrew G+ trade concessions have regained the lost markets and are showing increased sales.
These have been made possible by the policies planned according to the Mahinda Chinthana of the Government. The Tamil people of the North and East to profit from these surging development of financial, economic, and social activities of the country should join hands with the government , by placing their complete confidence on the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his Government.
That confidence of the Tamil people of the North and East has become imperative to keep away the anti Sri Lanka Governments of the West from interfering into Sri Lanka's affairs.
The Tamil diaspora which is spending billions of Dollars paying foreign Senators, Attorneys, Media etc., to keep alive the Terrorist LTTE , has not so far spent a "cent" for the welfare of the Tamil people of the North and East.
All the allegations against the Sri Lanka Government Armed Forces, and threat to take them before a tribunal for war crimes being made by the Ban Ki Moon with his Darusman Report, UNHCHR Navi Pillai with the Channel 4 video footages, Hillary Clinton with her uncalled for advice as to how Sri Lanka should look after its IDPs, are the result of the failure of the Tamil people of the North and East to place their confidence in the government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse.
Therefore it is important that the Tamil people of the North and East take these facts into consideration and vote on the 23 July,2011 for the candidates of the UPFA to show their solidarity with the Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse.

On a regular basis, I run into total strangers that want to talk to me about my disability. Last night was no different. Emily and I went to the local Barnes and Noble looking for Mastering the Art of French Cooking, since we both love to cook and Emily loves the movie Julie and Julia.
I was about to go up the escalator when a young man in his late 20s asked me "Where was the elevator"? The man was in a wheelchair and seemed to be in a flustered state of mind. I politely pointed in the direction of the elevator and we went separate ways only to reacquaint on the second floor. There he was with his father, a large out of shape man who seemed lost in his shuffling though the cook books. After they see me they converged on me like young children often do.
The question came one after another. "Do you have a wheelchair?" "Do you drive?" "Do you get out of bed alone." "Does somebody bath you?" "Do you have children?" "Do you work out?" And after about 5 minutes of answering most questions with, "Yes, I do everything myself", I moved on to look at some more books.
I was happy this young man and his father were curious and that I was able to answer some of their questions. I just hoped I was able to show them the other side of what a disability can be.
This guy had some back issues and some surgery five years ago and from what I can tell he basically gave up on his whole life. Every positive statement I made about my life was countered with a sad story about himself followed by more questions. I couldn't believe that a person would just let their life slip so far away from them. He mentioned he doesn't exercise or really do anything because he didn't see the point as if being in a wheelchair was some kind of a death sentence. His father didn't seem all that encouraging as he mostly put down his son in comparison with me. I heard several, "See, he can do it himself, why can't you?"
It was so sad it was difficult for me to feel like anything I said was getting through to them.
Just because you are faced with a crippling disability doesn't mean you have to give in to it. I was born without legs and I didn't just give up. I didn't think that my life was over, I found a way to do things and I made the most of my life. I don't expect myself to run a marathon or climb a mountain, those aren't goals I have set for myself but there is no chance I would just sit on my butt and waste my life away feeling sorry for myself.
I wish the best for this guy and his father and hope that maybe they will see that he is on a journey to another life, maybe it is a little different but it can be just as fulfilling.

Loving the oddbods
I got an email this week that brought tears to my eyes as I read it. It's from a friend who's gone into ministry in regional Australia, from a Moore college background. A few of us have been reading Bruce Milne's passionate vision for growing multi-ethnic and diverse churches, in his book Dynamic Diversity. Here's some of the email:
Regarding my reading of Dynamic Diversity… confession time…
The service I oversee (Sun pm) is already quite diverse. When I arrived it overwhelmed me because it didn't seem to be heading anywhere, it wasn't anything like I've been involved in in the past. We are a bunch of oddbods! I found it hard to put us in a box. But after reading Dynamic Diversity and being reminded of God's eternal plans in Ephesians 1-3, I became excited about 'my' service and hope under God we can grow it to be even more diverse and that we reach even more oddbods. That might mean we don't really go anywhere that I had initially thought (eg big congregation, lots of people heading for Bible college, or the cool-hip Sunday night service in town) but we will reflect God's eternal plans better. In terms of multi-ethnicity, less than 5% of our town is born outside of Australia, so for us multi-ethnic will mean having more aboriginal people join us (over 10% of town have Aboriginal ancestry). We have people keen and connected for Aboriginal ministry (including our rector), so I'm excited what may happen in the future.
Music to my ears…

Thanks, as always, for reading dear friends and letting me share my 'dear diary' moments in life with you. :) I hope today's post was as cleansing for your soul as it was for mine! Have a beautiful start to your week <3
Lemons to Love,
Linlin!! You are so good at everything you set your mind to, there is no doubt you will continue killing it in your already very full sack of passions.
This story reminds me of when I didn't get a job I interviewed for (several rounds, may I add) in Chicago. I was ready to leave ultra cool, weird (and small) Austin. They gave me a verbal offer -- I was pumped! Looking for places to live, practicing my BIG resignation speech to my then boss, planning to survive brutal winters. Then they went silent. When they resurfaced, they changed the position, and then I didn't go for it. My heart full of dreams was deflated. Five months later, I was moving to Atlanta and traveling all over the world!
Cheer up, you're supposed to be EXACTLY where you are right now. And you did hike up to that Emerald Lake like a BA!

It has been a while since my last blog. Let me post a caution here. I will not be actively promoting this blog for a while. I am going to go very personal here and there may be triggers for those in vulnerable spots. When things get more positive -I may tweet and post links to this site – but for now, I am willing to expose myself only with my active readers.
It is often hard for me to write these past few months since I lost my job with the state. As you know from previous blogs, I was at poverty level before with my job, paying bills but not enough money to be able to buy food or to pay debts – like traffic tickets. All the while applying for jobs that would help me recover my past income level.
Ironic – or plot twist - the unpaid traffic tickets becoming the cause of my December dismissal! Not the cause of my downfall – I have recently found the truth of what (or rather WHO) caused my "fall from grace". But the final nail was my inability to pay the traffic tickets & my loss of my driver's license due to their status.
I now have a monthly income of $124. I have food - but no money to pay anything.
That said – I have been spending almost all my waking hours scrambling for another job or a way to bring in enough money to keep the utilities on. Time spent "hat in hand" begging at the local charities for their assistance. Charities I donated freely to in the past. Scrambling to pull up records and find vital info to qualify for their grudging help. It has not left much time for self-care – like creating poetry or art.
One of my desperate ventures to bring in money has been to start selling online. This requires an initial outlay for "inventory" – the used blue jeans are still my "best" – if infrequent seller. I have other items besides clothes on e-Bay & Amazon and the like (designer clothes, collectables, Avon, books) but they have not sold as yet - though my eSeller mentors insist they are a more guaranteed income/sell than the clothes are. These sells are occasionally just in the nick of time – to keep the lights on, the internet. (water is a lesser priority).
Then there is the daily job-search – fortunately it is mostly internet based these days. Most places only have online applications now. This is good; I can't afford a bus pass and my VocRehab hasn't come through yet to supply me with one for job-hunting and interviews. Without medications, most days, my body hurts too much to allow me to do extensive walking. But interviews are rare and too much time in between.
But the biggest reason I have not written is because it is difficult to – mentally.
I get tired of my "updates" being only negative news and I haven't had positive news to report.
Mentally, I am going "silent" again. I feel like I am crumbling. Not only is my self-esteem returning to its lowest points – it is returning to its lowest functioning. I am having near-constant panic attacks, which shreds my short-term memory. The panic makes it almost impossible lately to make decisions – I am too sensitive to the negative impacts of any action. I am "losing" time – developing gaps in my memory.
An empath – right now I have no defensive walls. Not only does this mean I am sensory-overloaded when I am near other people; as one who also "transmits" I am impacting those I come in contact with. Full-disclosure, seeing my impact on others has started making me agoraphobic. This means, when near other people, I really need to "clamp down" on my depression and negative feelings. If you have met me in person lately, this is why I seem withdrawn, stand-offish. And, yes, I am coming off a little "fake" right now; it's for your protection. Trust me – you do not want to really experience the current depths of my depression and pain right now.
That is a massive effort. This overload is effecting my home and environment; while I am now used to my emotions causing glitches and sabotaging my electronic (most common cause of my technology fails) , I have now become a actual poltergeist. I am affecting the inanimate objects now, especially at times I am home alone. It has become common for me to be hearing crashes and noises from a room behind me, when I and my cats are in a room together after my roommates have left the house. I no longer run to see "who" caused it. I believe in scientific theory; the correlation between the intensity of my moods and the increase in "supernatural" noise cannot be denied. I work with trying to resolve the issue currently stressing me when I can; work with isolating myself and calming myself when I cannot.
I am off my maintenance meds – so my physical and mental conditions are becoming quite diabilitating. My Voc Rehab caseworker noticed it right away when we re-met; she said I am NOT in a condition to work. Some conditions I have previously shared. Some I am not yet ready to admit to publically – too much ignorant stigma still attached to them. I am not my disabilities; I do not want to be lessened down to only them. (I may have to, here, later. But I choose today is not the day)
With my caseworker's advocacy, I did finally get approved for medical this past month – but have not yet located new doctors to accept me with this new state-offered medical insurance. I'm working on finding new ones; but it's robbing sleep time to do so. But I am finding years of therapy and work-arounds unraveling. I am suicidal again. Don't worry overmuch on this last disclosure! I WILL NOT suicide; it is not an option I will allow myself! I am just being honest and acknowledging it is again a daily struggle, reshaping that internal argument that I am not worthy to live. I KNOW I am – but, what can I say – my parents really did a job on me as a kid. And your parents voices always stay the loudest ones in your head as an adult. You can relearn healthier ways of thinking – but they still stay there.
I am grateful for the skills I learned last year in the Leadership Program I attended – they have allowed me to hang on – but it is hanging on by my fingernails. I am constantly re-wording thoughts in my head, restructuring the negative ones into positive ones. I am not 'unemployed" – I am self-employed". I am not a "failed" career – I am an e-seller, artist and poet. I am not poor – I am relearning to do more with less resources. I am re-branding myself. Sure – it is partly forced due to circumstances – but I am also making it intentional.
I used my government jobs as "therapy' – a way to compartmentalize myself and to bring out my best functioning on a daily basis. With a daily audience, I had to bring my A game to the table every day; be in control everyday. Sure, I would allow myself lapses into "Poet' or "Artist" – but I took pride in serving as "Public Servant".
Now I am learning to function without that parachute. In fact – without any of my tried & true therapies and coping skills. In light of this, I really shouldn't be surprised I am currently a full-blown poltergeist. This is essentially like a pop essay-final, I have been stripped of every coping mechanism and it is sink or swim. It is a rough lesson; sometimes I think I am getting it, sometimes not.
But today – I am awake. I have electricity and internet & have e-work to do. I actually allowed myself to participate in a art event on Sunday – so I have a painting I am now committed to finishing. (I hope this to be a step in a positive direction). Today I will allow myself an hour at my Sunday spot to make further study sketches of my piece, something I denied myself fir five months. I may even do a Zentangle session. Today I will allow myself an hour to edit April's poetry. And maybe write a piece for today. Today I will venture outside my imposition.
And today, right now, I will write.
Bear with me, as what I write will most likely not be pleasant. But it is a need can no longer deny if I am to live. Writing is how I beat my past suicidal thoughts and demons, how I recovered my voice and with it my self. I need to start putting my SELF back into my daily life. April's Poetry-A-Day challenges that I participated in helped some, as I knew they would. My imposed isolation was not good for me as it encouraged my silence. Silence, for me, is a trigger; I start living only emotionally and reactively. I am not only dealing with the absent silence of friends and past co-eorkers, but a silence from my thoughts as well. In February I had even stopped writing to myself; it was bad how I shut down. And as I process things/experiences through writing – it hobbled me. And, by extension, it has hobbled my electronics, freezing up the computers and phones in my house. So allow me to share some of my frustrations – so I may stop other frustrations from being born.
Perhaps, one of you reading here also is dealing with high depression. Please, don't give in. It doesn't always get better ...
But the ONLY way for it to get better is to not give in!

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Metal Gear Solid' started by De_Gamer95, Nov 4, 2013.
what is Ground Zeroes?
Yeah, I'm the one bitching, not the guy saying to me "stop posting what you think, I'm tired of it! BTW my buddy here says you should fuk off too!" like a schoolyard kid would.
also, thanks for being a necromancer and reviving a post from a week ago for the sake of creating more controversy, I guess you can't contribute to intelligible conversation either.
It gets repetitive when you say the same thing over and over. And yeah I'm bitching at your bitching, so what?
First half of the post was directed toward you, the second have was directed toward everyone.
And you are bitching, just like everyone else is bitching.
Also, my intent wasn't to contribute to intelligible conversation. Kinda pointless in doing so when there was none going on to begin with.
By the way, I can't necro a thread when the last post in the thread was a day ago.
Yeah, this thread needs to get back on topic, quick.
New analisis from this YongYea guy of the english gameplay.
Did he say he is playing it with relfex mode on or off or did he fuse it into "Onff" lol he's keeping his options open there haha
Love YongYea
I think people who think they are going to play with it off willl be very suprised at how much it may be needed,
At least ground Zeroes will introduce this feature to us,
I wonder and hope we can replay missions/operations and turn the reflex mode on and off each time so we can see the difference in not using it can be.
Yong said he won't be using it.
but of course you know he'll at least try it out.
we all will.
He'll probably end up using it anyways since he's not that good
I dont think it actually is going to bother me. Im gonna leave it on.
I'll keep it on at first until I get a feel for the intricacies and how smart the AI is this time around, then I'll probably turn it off.
Small new interview with Kojima-san via Playstation Blog: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013...alks-metal-gear-solid-5-ground-zeroes-on-ps4/
Not really anything particularly new, but I believed this was conducted during or around the PS4 release event. Interesting tidbits:
the Dualshock 4 supposedly will have it's own unique features for MGSV, although multi-platform and PS3 development is apparently causing some creative restrictions
tablet integration and remote play still sounds like it's gonna be pretty cool (Kojima was impressed with remote play especially)
Kojima really wants to play Knack with Cerny
developing multi-platform is creating restictions/problems?
nah! get out!
no shit Kojima...
You should be developing exclusively for PlayStation 4.
just think how much easier life would be.
it says "will sneak into enemy encampments"
it doesn't say "will sneak into an enemy encampment"
more than one camp to infiltrate?
In the podcast they released today, I believe they said GZ will only be taking place in Camp Omega.
new KP ALERT! finally!?
On the official site it seems to imply that GZ takes place exclusively in Camp Omega (Cuba) while TPP takes place exclusively in Afghanistan, which I assume is gigantic.
well ... the E3 trailer said:
"Burning with revenge in .... OUTER HEAVEN"
and Outer Heaven sure isn't in Afghanistan.
and what about all the child soldiers of African heritage shown?
Child Liquid is in Afghanistan (Eli)
A Punk who Curses his Fate ..
"In the Middle East we hunt jackels.
Instead of FoxHounds we use Royal Harriers"
You don't get more Middle East than Afghanistan.
.... not to mention his jackal necklace...
Exclusively for PS4? Fuck that, MGS isn't meant to be an exclusive.
you're high. sleep it off.
It sure as hell was on MSX2, then PS platforms. In fact this is the first major title to be released outside of one exclusive company's consoles from the get-go.
Killzone has some minor uses for the touch pad on the face of the PS4 controller, and I'm really surprised at how used to it I got. Looking forward to seeing what HK can do with it.
PS4 retail version may come to the west, no XB1 LE in Japan, launch info coming soon: http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=10499
Looks like someone forgot Rising.
Ok, cool.
Looks like I will need to plan on buying the super dooper version of GZ for PS4.
Not a major MGS title.
Rising is THEE MOST MAJOR MGS TITLE!
... not.
But it's revenge with a vengeance.
no, it's vengeance twice over. . . . RE-vengeance.
No, it's a response to the original vengeance. "Re: vengeance"
I'll be turning bullet time off quicker than Listen Mode in LoU
I'm with you. Still have yet to even see what "Listen Mode" does.
Its your standard Wall-Hack but is uses up focus which you have to recharge - didn't suit the setting of something like LoU.
Around the time MGSV was announced, I remember reading from an interview with Kojima that the chopper can take you to different locations "around the world". I think there are more locations than just Afghanistan, which does look gigantic enough O_O
Afghanistan and 'various African countries': http://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=9895
Maybe Diamond Dogs is established at Afghanistan, meaning that it just wouldn't be Outer Heaven (at least the one we know)
// Or then that's just a mistake. Which seems likely.
fuck I can't wait to see the true Outer Heaven in its full glory.
only been waiting 15 years now..
You guys are fucking hardcore.
I'm still curious, does this mean that the Soviet Union will serve as the primary "on the ground" antagonist army?
MGS needs moar Russian baddies.
I don't follow .. ?
- Afghanistan
- 1984
What do you think happened in that region during the 80's?
Cuban Missile Crisis
You're essentially guaranteed Soviet enemies if Zero or Cipher is involved, and it's set in Afghanistan. It'll be like MGS3 all over again.
Well .. in RAMBO III ... (1989)
Johnny was in Afghanistan and the Russians were the bad guys..
That's because in the 80's, the Russians were ALWAYS the enemy, regardless of location.
They were straight-up EVIL!
but they're good guys now.
is there new mgo in gz
Unlikely. It's a quick release that'll probably be in March. MGO will be nowhere near complete by then, let alone the rest of the actual game (TPP).
Why do people keep saying March?
it's April or May ..
