Theodore Fox is a writer from Edmonton, Alberta. He is well regarded as a poet, though he also writes fiction and reviews. Theodore was the Writer in Residence for Latitude 53, where he provided a forum for dialogue about contemporary visual culture throughout communities. His work spans over a wide variety of topics, ranging from gender and sexuality to mental illness and lost love.
In recent years, he has facilitated conceptual and performance art shows as a part of the LART Collective, and in 2014 curated a collection of early internet literature as a participant in the Internet Archive Tumblr Residency.
WRITTEN CITIZEN: Hello, Theodore! Thanks for taking some time to talk with us! I'm going to start off by asking what were you like as a child and a teenager?
THEODORE FOX: I feel like a lot of people remember their childhoods better than I do mine. Probably this is because most people who choose to write about their childhoods are those who remember them well. Or those who have invested a lot of time in trying to remember. When thinking about being very young, memories tend to crackle in and out of my awareness. Most childhood memories are assembled from little feelings here and there which slowly become associated with one another to create a coanaethesis. But I assume that it's mostly fiction.
My young years were spent mostly reading. I read everything I could, being particularly attracted to technical manuals or anything else about how the world works. I remember reading books on knots, none of which I ever learned to tie, but because I enjoyed the illustrations and the patterns between different sorts of knots. When I went on holidays, I would fill my suitcase with books before I even bothered with clothes. (I still do this, by the way.) Two novels, two non-fiction, two books of poetry – but poetry volumes are often thin, so usually I can make room for more.
I remember mostly reading, or playing alone. Building or thinking of building. I liked to figure out computers. I once installed Linux on a family computer and started trying to see what I could do from the command line. As a teenager, I was always lovesick and confused about my body. Mostly I wanted to go away. I was very depressed. But I'm still here. Going to therapy helped.
WC: When did you start writing?
TF: Poetry, I didn't start writing until I was thirteen. It was spring break and I taught myself to play guitar from an old book of Leonard Cohen songs, which belongs to my dad. I hadn't heard any of the songs before, but I figured them out based on what was on the page. I already knew how to read music from singing in choirs. I read the lyrics to these songs and they were very moving. Of course, they spoke of love and politics with the same tone which had overwhelmed me with feeling by that point. Then I found his poems. More of the beauty without the structure of the music. Perfect. They were incredible, but I felt like I had an inkling of how they were done. Maybe I could do that. So I tried. I filled up many notebooks.
WC: So how did you know, at the young age of thirteen, that you wanted to be a writer?
TF: I wanted it. I have a crush on writing. I'm in love with [writing]. It's something I can work on by myself and it's something satisfying and hopefully helpful for me to put into the world. In the last few years, my writing has become more a part of the lives of other people. That's an additional impetus to create. It's my purpose. Writing is to me what religious beliefs are to some. I feel this way about most art.
WC: How have you grown in the years that you have been writing poetry?
TF: I've gotten better. I've grown as a person in so many other ways too. The work itself has gotten better I think. For me, there's always been a joy in seeing what pokes out when you're looking the other way. Sometimes when you'll be scribbling for the sake of scribbling, without direction, without being conscious - almost in a state of un-caring, having given up. Some little grain of something really good slips out. For me, it's seeing the quality of the accidents going up that feels really good. Sometimes I put something out there that perplexes me, and to see someone else pick it up, excited, is an amazing thrill. It feels like it came from somewhere else. I don't think I know a better feeling than that feeling of non-recognition. Staring at something and asking, "I wrote that?"
I sometimes think about writing like parenting. I'm not a parent, but I end up reading a lot about parenting from reading a lot of psychology. I think we can learn a lot about how to care about the whole world from thinking about good parenting. We put in our time with whatever we bring into the world, but eventually it goes out and makes relationships with other people. We have to do the work and then practice letting go.
WC: How do you write your poems?
TF: Lately, I've been typing drafts of poetry on a computer, printing these, and then editing by hand. They then get typed back into the computer and inevitably get last-minute tweaking as I'm writing them up. That's what I'm doing right now. I don't generally stick with a method for too long.
WC: Who do you look up to as a writer?
TF: I look up to whomever got the writing done. When I was first getting started, I learned a lot from Leonard Cohen, but he's someone who came from such an incredible position of privilege that I try not to feel too closely to him. Some of my favorite writers include Maggie Nelson, Susan Sontag, Graham Greene, Chris Krause, and Douglas Coupland. I admire anyone who can get the work done without being too hard on themselves or the people around them. Jan Zwicky, who is my mentor, is wonderful in part because she has such a rich and compassionate life, while also writing beautiful poetry and philosophy.
WC: Who is your favorite poet?
TF: My favorite poet is Robert Flanagan. He died last year. His book Incisions is fantastic. I wish it were more available.
WC: What is your favorite poem?
TF: The poem I have the most fondness for is Leonard Cohen's 'For Anne'. It's six lines long, simple, sad, and beautiful.
WC: How have you found the publishing process? Is it difficult to find people who are willing to look at your work for publishing?
TF: My problem is that I don't submit to enough. I'm a perfectionist and also very scattered. I've probably had more pieces accepted than rejected, which is a bad thing, in a career sense. I'm slowly trying to have more of a relationship with ambition. People like my work, and I should get it out there more. I end up getting a lot of my work from people asking me to write for them, rather than my asking them for work. I could represent myself better.
WC: Finally, what advice would you give to aspiring writers?
TF: Following from my previous point, submit. Try. Apply. Write a lot. Read a lot. Set yourself quotas. Try to get enough sleep. Don't set up your life such that working on your art and participating in loving relationships with others are put at odds with each other. Think about what advice you'd give to others and then follow it yourself. Try to follow through on promises you make to others and try to follow through on promises you make to yourself. Be patient. Learn to edit. (You can practice by editing the world of other writers, for which they will be very grateful.) Try to meet local writers. Cultivate interests other than books and writing - there's probably enough writing about how it feels to be a writer.

We believe that outstanding pastoral care is essential for students to achieve their true potential.
The school is divided into 4 houses each of which has its own Head of House (HOH).
Our House Ethos
The house system allows every student and member of staff to feel a sense of belonging by becoming a member of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald or Topaz house. By being a member of the house, students and staff are encouraged to show team spirit as all of the houses thrive on the ethos of "achieve, belong and participate". Each student has a house tie which they wear with pride that represents the house that they are in.
There are many house events throughout the year from all areas of school life. This blend ensures that everyone has the opportunity to represent their house in something that they enjoy or are good at. For example house events include; various sporting activities, academic activities, practical and vocational activities and the ePraise House Trophy.
All students have the opportunity to earn Merits for their house. These are awarded for things such as good work, attendance, for being a good citizen, contribution to lessons and participation in house competitions. At the end of the academic year all house merits are added up and one house wins the overall house trophy.
Heads of Houses
Mr D Williams
Mr R Seaton
Mrs S Westwood
Mr M Smith
Each student is placed in a tutor group with a form tutor who takes a special and supportive interest in that group. The tutor groups span Years 7-11, allowing a strong supportive relationship to be grown throughout the school community.
Court Fields School welcomes all parents to contact us, usually via the tutor and HOH, whenever they feel it is necessary. The Senior Leadership team can also be contacted directly should the need arise. Regular parent forums and extra-curricular activities are held which strengthen this vital partnership. Our Home-School agreement which outlines this partnership is reviewed annually by Governors and can be viewed here.
A range of support services are available for students including mentors, trained councillors, parent and family support advisors, careers advice and a weekly clinic run by our school nurses.
As well as in-house support we utilise the expertise of many external agencies to help support our students: The Children's Centre, PFSA, Family Focus, PCSOs, Children's Social Care, CAMHS, Educational Psychologists, Youth Offending Team and Adolescent Support Workers.
We also have a team of Child Protection Officers. Students can self-refer or disclose information to any of the above as well as referrals from HOH and parents.
We recognise that self-esteem, confidence, supportive friends and clear lines of communication with trusted adults help all of our students. Our ethos is that students feel secure, are encouraged to talk, are listened to and feel safe.
Secondary school is a place where children start the learning to become adults. At Court Fields they begin this journey in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

Question about Nintendo DS Lite Console
I have 2 nintendo ds lite problems. 1 of the ds lites will not charge when i put the charger in the ds all the way the light goes off but then when i take it out half way the light comes on. But it will not stay on. I think there is a short somewhere. I took it to games stop and the lady told me to send it back to nintendo for repair. What should i do? The other problem I have is the screen came half way off and the top screen doesn't show the game that is playing. What should i do? Or where can I send it and how long does it take to return?
Posted by sha77 on
The best solution is that you send them nintendo ds!! Because charger jack is short and problem with display is serious!!! Probable it's last maybe for one month!!
Good luck.
Posted on Feb 07, 2008
Ok first of all i would advice you to take it back to nintendo if it is still under its warranty period.
if not i shall suggest something for your first problem. just open your set and see for any place burnt or any damage in power board of that portion.
this will lead you to find some bad culprit of that board and you can replace that component alone.
if you are able to see some burnt thing then sending back to nintendo will be the best option.
as for now open the set and see if u can find anything visually.
Posted on Feb 07, 2008
did u find anything?
what happeed?
wat happened?
Since you cannot repair that easily, going to a repair shop is a wise idea... They do the solving for you... anyway you can wait for it or even watch them do the repairing stuff... Soon you'll discover what went wrong...
Goodluck... Fixya me!

Often pregnant women face a major problem of stretch marks. Even people who have suddenly gained too much weight or have lost weight may suffer from stretch marks. Today there are a number of ways how these marks can be cured such as lotions, surgeries, and many others. But again the effectiveness of these ways depends on a number of factors such as age, diet, skin tone and others. But there are also some natural remedies that can help you in treating stretch marks and that too without any side effects.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is one of the most effective ways to cure stretch marks due to its healing and soothing properties. Application of aloe vera is simple too.
- It has to be rubbed directed on the stretch marks.
- Leave it for 10-15 minutes and then clean it up.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is known to be a remedy for a number of skin issues because of its antioxidant properties. It is again one of the effective ways to get rid of stretch marks.
Warm some extra virgin olive oil and then massage it over the area of stretch marks. It improves the blood circulation of the area.
Leave it for 30 minutes so that the skin can absorb the nutrients such as Vitamin D, E and A.
Castor Oil
Normally castor oil is an effective remedy to cure skin issues such as moles, age spots, wrinkles, fine lines, pimples and dark spots. But it is also found effective in treatment of stretch marks.
- Massage castor oil on the stretch marks for 5-10 minutes in a circular motion.
- After the massage, wrap a cloth around it.
- Some heat can be applied over the wrapped cloth with the help of hot water bag for about 30 minutes.
- The process can be done for a month time.
Sugar in its raw form can be used in exfoliating the skin and hence can be used in reducing stretch marks.
- Combine raw sugar, lemon juice and almond oil and make a mixture.
- Apply a few drop of the mixture on the stretch mark and massage for 2-3 minutes.
- Take shower after the massage.
- Do this for a month or so to see improving results.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is known for its acidic properties that cure acne and other such skin related issues. It also helps in curing stretch marks also.
- Apply a few drops of lemon juice on the affected area and rub in circular motion.
- After leaving it for 10 minutes, wash the area with luke-warm water.
Alfalafa leaves are known for its nutritional value such as Vitamin K, Vitamin K, minerals and nutrients that are healthy for your skin. It is known to offer good nourishment for your skin.
- Make a powder of alfalafa leaves mix it with and chamomile to prepare a smooth paste.
- Apply the paste and massage for 2-3 times each day.
- Use for a few weeks to get best results.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is said to be a natural moisturizer for your skin and is also known to cure stretch marks.
A mixture can be made by mixing cocoa butter, grated beeswax, wheat germ oil, vitamin E oil and apricot kernel.
- Heat this combination till the time beeswax melts.
This mixture can be stored in a container that is airtight and can be kept in the refrigerator. The mixture can be applied on the stretch mark for 2-3 times in a day.

Why all the Progressive Sympathy for Radical Islam?
Has it ever struck you as odd how hypocritical the left becomes when it approaches the subject radical Islamic terrorism or the religion in general? Suddenly, the people who were so proud of their acceptance of homosexuality, their understanding of feminism, and their love for minority groups can't seem to do enough to appease an ideology that rejects all of it in a brutally oppressive fashion. The folks who are so insistent that we teach nothing but atheism in school want to make sure we all know just how peaceful and loving Islam is.
Seriously, what's that all about libs?
I can't imagine that they really think it's okay when people fire rockets into neighborhoods, abuse women and religious minorities, and cut off the heads of people they disagree with, yet they are strangely silent about these events. If they do speak about them, it's often with an equivocating statements about how all religions are just as bad, we're no better than them, and this is all somehow America's fault anyway because….
What is so hard about this? Is it really that difficult to condemn terrorism with something more than passing throwaway lines mixed with a veiled defense or conspicuous silence? When last I checked Westboro Baptist church is roundly condemned by all Christians for their hateful screed, and they haven't even killed anybody. Alternatively, the liberals go absolutely bananas over Ferguson without any of the facts, and then when a Muslim knifes the head off a woman in Oklahoma, they only mention it long enough to inform us all that it had nothing to do with his religion, and move promptly on to the next, more convenient, story.
I think, when you get right down to it, this is just another manifestation of the guiding progressive philosophy. The idea that people's lives are shaped by their circumstances, their actions are just reactions to their surroundings, and the only way to stop bad things from happening is to change the environment people are in. Of course, sane people know that we are shaped more by our choices, our actions, and how we respond to the circumstances that surround us. We also recognize that there is evil in the world, and that mankind is not capable of perfection. That's why we hold people responsible for their actions. That's why it's so easy for us to call a spade a spade when it comes to radical Islamic terrorism. If you decide to slices the head off a coworker, or fire rockets into a neighborhood, that's your fault. Nobody made you do that, and nobody else deserves to be punished as much as you.
The progressive left, on the other hand, are busy trying to turn black and white into gray. Nowhere in their deluded, utopian, fantasy of a philosophy is their hypocrisy and inconsistency more apparent than this issue. And honestly, I probably wouldn't care so much if these people were just bloviating to each other over coffee at some café in Seattle. The problem is these people are in charge of our government, our military, and our media. Too many decent people have already been the guinea pigs of their utopian experiments, how much more life and dignity do we have to lose before we decide to stop allowing the lunatic fringe to run the show?

Great job Aleksey!
A new standard in equalizing!
Hi Aleksey!
I just bought the GlissEQ. So far. so great. One thing, what happened to the tube simulation that was in the demo? Decide to leave it out? Thanks once again.
Yes, I've decided not to include saturation stage now. It was not too great anyways. I'm seeking for something better to add to GlissEQ. In any case, what was there in saturation stage was not very different from some of the Lampthruster's presets.
From reading about this plug can I assume that if you take out frequencies with a negative Db value ie - 6db, and include the dynamic value at max, is that then pulling out frequencies dynamically? If so, does it make that freq less dynamic, ie compressed? (as opposed to expansion).
I guess this makes it a kind of a 5 band compressor expandor.
The diferences would be; no crossovers - just independant freqencies, expansion and compression are linked to adding or subtracting gain, you cant select the threshold or attack / sustain params.
By listening to the demo I tried adding and subtracting the same freq with two bands, one with dyn and one without. I concluded that I didn't like the compression expansion sound, and would like to control the threshold. It tends to jump around a bit. Also it would be good to have a small metter for each band showing the dyn factor working ie, by how much.
I know the point of the plug is EQ but even with one band you get unpredictable pumping or enhancing of bad dynamics. One thought is to offer a reverse of your intent, ie when adding eq - make it compress not expand. OR just unlink the gain with the compressor.
The idea of a GOOD compressor with independant bands is the most apealing aspect of this plugin or any future plugs.
That would make this equalizer too complicated. And it does NOT have a 'threshold' since it does not have a compressor-like logic. I've heard TC Electronic is going release something you are talking about. You may check theirs equalizer.
Compression/expansion concept is not totally correct with GlissEQ. The signal itself never gets compressed or expanded. Only filter's GAIN is adjusted, and that is very different even from multiband compression/expansion.
In the mastering world people would like such a plugin as I have mentioned. Without exacting controls though or an explanation of the difference between 'dynamic filter gain adjustment' and 'compression of a frequency band' it's going to be a hard sell for glisseq.
P-boy, I think phrase 'dynamic filter gain adjustment' speaks for itself. If you know what filter gain is the way GlissEQ works should be obvious to you, together with the difference from compressor having a 'threshold' control.
For your reference, GlissEQ's algorithm will give almost identical results if you process low and high volume program material. With compressor you will need to tune the 'threshold' control for various incoming signal levels.
I see, does it move with the 'slope' of transients? like the Trans-X from Waves. But your plug is not stuck with cross-overs, you see, that's what I like in the Gliss concept.
Quote from waves site: "Unlike traditional compressors which let you control by ratio, attack, release, frequency, etc. TransX focuses on two aspects of the signal, the transients and sustain-decay and then let you control each."

|Moazzam Begg speaking at an Amnesty International event.
Moazzam Begg is trying to sell the fairy tale that there's just as much of a threat from "far-right terrorism" than there is from Islamic terrorism. He also says that the British soldier, Ryan McGee, got off leniently for his own recent terrorist plot.
In any case, after the recent case of Ryan McGee, Moazzam Begg had to go back to 2007 (to the Robert Cottage case) to find another example of non-Islamic terrorism in England: on both occasions, no one was killed.
Since 2005, on the other hand, over forty Islamic terrorist attacks have been thwarted in the UK. In the United States there were 50 foiled Islamic attacks between 2001 and 2011. And between 2001 and 2012 there were over 20,022 Islamic terror attacks worldwide. All in all and on average, there are around 1,800 Islamic terror attacks every year; or one attack every five hours. (To give just one more example, in terms of Pakistan alone, between 2001 and 2011 35,000 died as a result of Islamic terrorism.)
Like Norway's Anders Breivik and America's Timothy McVeigh, the U.K's Ryan McGee has been a godsend to both the British Left and to Muslims like Moazzam Begg.
Yet Anders Breivik's attack was over three years ago. In 2011 alone there were seven Islamic terrorist attacks which claimed more lives than the Breivik massacre; which claimed 77 lives. (Since 2011, how many Islamic terrorist attacks have there been?) Rather miraculously, however, Begg himself doesn't mention Breivik; perhaps because he focusses entirely on the UK.
In any case, no one's ever claimed that there have never been non-Islamic terrorists. In the 1960s and 1970s, for example, most of them – at least in Europe and the US - were Leftists (though there were some Nazi/fascist attacks too). Despite that, there are more Islamic terrorist attacks every month (or even less) than in the entire history of Leftist/Nazi terrorism. And that's the difference, Mr Begg, as you know full well.
Leftist Support
|Venessa Redgrave, Victoria Brittain, Begg & Martin Linton MP
|Clive Stafford Smith & Begg
In any case, try to swallow some of Moazzam Begg's own words just for starters:
"…. I was focused on the global jihad being waged against Bosnia, Russia, and India, and it became clear to me by 1996 that the jihad was also against the United States. I felt that jihad was an appropriate way to deal with those who harmed Muslims, especially jihad against Russia, and India, since I viewed them as oppressors of Muslims."
So why is it that so little evidence has stuck to Moazzam Begg? I think that there are four main reasons for this:
i) Basically, Moazzam Begg has never been filmed/caught planting a bomb or with a hand-written terror plot in his hands. (It really is – more or less - that simple.)
ii) Everything Moazzam Begg has ever confessed to (he's confessed to a lot) occurred – according to Begg himself - "under duress"; which is precisely what almost every Islamic terrorist former detainee has claimed after the event.
iii) The British government and MI5 have attempted to use Moazzam Begg's services at various times. Thus, ultimately, Begg has something on them (as it were). Either that, or the British state owes Begg something. Basically, from 2005 (possibly before) onwards, various deals have been done between the government/MI5 and Moazzam Begg.
iv) Finally, and perhaps more importantly, Moazzam Begg has secured the services of some of the best lawyers and "rights activists" in the United Kingdom.
More specifically on that last point.
Many very high-ranking Leftist lawyers and activists have flocked to Moazzam Begg's defence. And - as these very same Leftists often say when they're talking about the politicians, bankers, etc. who've "got off scot-free" - if you have the right lawyers or activists working for you, it's amazing what you can get away with. This is especially the case when the lawyers and activists politically sympathise with the men they support and defend; as well as when they agree with what the suspects are fighting for (which is certainly the case with Moazzam Begg).
In addition, Moazzam Begg's racial/ethnic and religious status (as a brown Muslim) has certainly titillated the fancies of all those white, upper-middle-class Leftist lawyers/activists who've acted - over the years - as little more than Moazzam Begg's professional whores.As for the specifics of that Leftist support.
For a start, don't believe any of the Leftist/progressive hype about Guantanamo Bay "detainees". As everyone except these lawyers/activists seems to know:
i) In 2009, 1 in 7 released Guantanamo detainees went straight back into terrorism. (Or, according to their lawyers, went straight back into various"liberation struggles" or into interfaith outreach.)
ii) Between Barack Obama gaining power in 2009 and 2014, 88 released prisoners were "confirmed as re-engaging in violence".
iii) Alternatively, by January 2014, 29% (some commentators and organisations say 50%) of Guantanamo detainees "returned to violence".
(Incidentally, only eight people have died in Guantanamo Bay. Compare that to the up to 30,000 political dissidents who were put to death for political reasons – this excludes Islamic hudud/sharia death sentences - by the Iranian state in 1988 alone; and that's to forget about Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
What about the proper names of Moazzam Begg's Leftist/progressive false friends?Try these for size:
Shami Chakrabarti (as well as her "rights group" Liberty)
Amnesty International (many AI members left this organisation because of its sponsorship and support of Begg)
The Guardian's former Associate Foreign Editor Victoria Britain (as well as many other Guardian journalists)
JUST West Yorkshire
Philippe Sands QC
Vanessa & Corin Redgrave
Michael Mansfield QC
The Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers
Clive Stafford Smith (OBE)
"committed socialist" lawyer Philip Shiner, etc.
(All the links in this list will take you to articles which cite the strong connections between the aforementioned Leftists/Trotskyists and Moazzam Begg.)
|Gareth Peirce, directly behind Begg.
This man despises just about every fibre of Great Britain; both politically and Islamically (if the two can be disentangled). And just like the Trotskyists/progressives who've become his false fiends (or useful tools), he's wormed himself into the heart of the British society (or at least its elite Red Sections) he ultimately wants to destroy.
|Peirce and the man she freed: Abu Qatada
To put all this in the most simple of possible terms (which is precisely how Moazzam Begg himself puts it): all action – of any kind whatsoever - against Islamic terrorism is seen, by Begg, to actually be a part of grande "war on Islam". (Incidentally, his many Leftist enablers see it all being part of a "imperialist state conspiracy" - even though many of them, as we've seen, effectively belong to that state!)
Thus Moazzam Begg is far more dangerous than the popular celebrity Anjem Choudary. Why? Simply because Moazzam Begg has got so many members of the Establishment (which is now largely Leftist or at least Left-Liberal) in his pocket. So much so that he is currently walking the streets of the UK. Not only that: he has published a book, given talks in universities, appeared on the BBC, etc. On the other hand, the Daily Mail and Hope Not Hate's favourite Muslim, Anjem Choudary, is just a clown and a diversion.
1) In the UK, the term "far right" only began to be frequently used very recently. That was basically with the rise of the EDL in 2009. (This isn't to say it wasn't used before that.)
I'm convinced that it began to be used because the terms "fascist" or "Nazi" came to be an embarrassment to the Left precisely because Leftists had previously accused almost everyone under the sun (except themselves) of being a "Nazi" or a "fascist". Others got sick of it too. Thus, all of a sudden, "far right" came on the scene.
To such Leftists, "far right" = Nazi/fascist.
Try and test Leftists out. Ask them to distinguish a member of the "far right" from a Nazi or a fascist. They won't be able to do so in most circumstances.
This isn't to say there can't be a Far Right that's not Nazi or fascist. I'm only commenting on the word as it's used by the majority of Leftists.

text: I'm about to make a purchase at my friendly neighborhood spi- err, Deal Extreme, and am interested in getting a mod chip for my Wii. I've heard/seen that the Wii Clip makes it pretty easy to do, but almost everyone talks about it on the more recent Wiis so I'm at a bit of a loss at how I would implement a Wii Clip on my launch Wii. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, even a link to a knowledgeable site would be helpful. I'm pretty much going to just buy now and sort things out during the two week ship date. So, are either of these clips any good? Do I need anything else to go with them, etc? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12714 Thanks for all the help!

Just a thought...
In today's world where taking a snapshot is effortless, digital seems the way to go when viewing pictures. There's Facebook, Instagram, and other social media where sharing a photo can happen in an instant. However, just as fast as it is posted and shared and liked, it is just as soon forgotten. The images of your baby (or any treasured photo) deserve more than a lingering glance or even a "like", especially among family and close friends. I highly urge you to consider having your treasured newborn's photos professionally printed and displayed on your wall or other prominent place where your baby can be viewed with genuine, thoughtful appreciation and admiration. It encourages the viewer to stop and admire your baby's delicate features: the highly arched brows, the chubby cheeks, the sweet pink lips, the hands that take after mom's, or the toes after dad's. In this fast-paced, highly connected world, a newborn's wall portrait helps us to slow down and reminds us to "stop and smell the roses."

done. ( mostly) now to save the files in a billion places so they don't get lost, corrupted or destroyed. I feel very satisfied although really there's an epilogue to write, still the main story is all done and the words are out and on paper.
Now I can get ready for Fedcon without this niggling me the whole time.
More on this later, because there's way more to say but seriously now I think i need a bath and a tylenol.
Is it bad that I make myself cry with my own writing?

We currently provide the following businesses with outsourced marketing support:
Toad Hall Cottages, Less Plastic and the Kingsbridge Food & Music Festival.
Read on to see what our past and present clients have said about us...
Amanda is knowledgeable, creative, and a pleasure to work alongside. I have had direct and indirect experience of many people who might refer to themselves as marketing professionals: Amanda Keetley is the real deal. Introduced at a Chamber of Commerce social event, I then approached Amanda to assist with a Recruitment Marketing Strategy and Website Project Management. Amanda's experience ensured that the recruitment strategy was well-informed, comprehensive while remaining practically achievable, and above all focused. Amanda's on-going support with literature has helped us to maintain that focus and win the results we're aiming for. The Website development has been surprisingly painless! The management team here is very pleased indeed with the end product: within a fortnight we'd begun to achieve clear return on our investment. Amanda's planning of structure, layout to achieve best client journey, also diligence and good advice on content, played a key part on that project's success to-date. Amanda/Vivid Results is now Pebbles' go-to resource for our marketing strategy and project management.
Start Point Flooring is a flourishing local business that until recently has grown almost exclusively by word of mouth. With a recent restructuring of the company it was clear that to achieve our ambitious sales targets we would need a marketing strategy that would assist us in not only developing local retail customers but also business with our trade customers. With two very different audiences we were concerned about giving out mixed messages. Amanda has helped smooth the way, focusing us on what we need to say to each customer base and the best medium to convey those messages. With a very successful blend of the old and the new; newspaper advertising, social media, blogging and flyers we have already experienced a significant upturn in business. A recent introduction by Amanda to the Kingsbridge and Salcombe Chamber of Commerce has resulted in further business and as importantly a connection with other like-minded local businesses. I can wholeheartedly recommend Amanda for any marketing projects you may have, big or small.
Until we started working with Amanda we had no social media presence, as a small but growing national business we just didn't have the time to become "self-taught". Being a flooring distributor, our products are all about texture and colour and I was concerned about how best to convey those concepts through social media. Amanda has guided us through this process; she has shown great patience and a real willingness to understand our business. Amanda has also been invaluable in acting as a sounding board for the development of our new website and helped focus our marketing in order to start building brand awareness in what is a very competitive market place. I would be happy to recommend Amanda to anyone who needed a focused, approachable and pragmatic guide to kick-starting, maintaining and enhancing their marketing strategy.
Vivid Results without doubt! Amanda planned and assisted our marketing campaign for our Open Day on 22nd May 2016. Her professionalism shone through from the initial fact-finding meeting to the end debrief. At each stage Amanda ensured our marketing spend was well directed and measurable and certainly more than achieved what we expected. Our target was for 10 new members as a result of the campaign with posters, press releases and social media. We actually got more than 30 new members which was an excellent result. I would certainly recommend Amanda to any company who wishes to grow and develop their business in a sensible, structured and measurable way. Thank you Amanda!
Amanda has been a pleasure to work with and has established a new fresh perspective to our marketing approach following our recent re-branding. She has introduced us to the powers of social media and has given us some great ideas on how to get started. She is very passionate about her work and has shown great commitment in order for our marketing to succeed. Her friendly and approachable nature means that she has been a pleasure to work with and no problem is too big or too small. I highly recommend Amanda to help any business in need of some direction with their marketing strategy.
Working with Amanda really helped us take stock of our marketing strategy and material to make it work best for us. Through working closely with us (but not intrusively so) and by conducting her own research she is quickly able to provide sound, relevant advice and material. We're now implementing many of her recommendations and seeing the benefits. As well as her skills and expertise, her personable and flexible style worked really well for us – I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Whilst I have attended numerous social media workshops I found Amanda's particularly informative and a helpful recap. I came away inspired and with a clear plan for how to more effectively manage my social media efforts. I was most impressed by how up-to-date the presentation was with examples taken from current media and how relevant the 'Tips & Tricks' were for the audience aka small business owners with limited time.
Amanda is great support for a small business owner running their business on their own. She is an excellent sounding board, providing strategic ideas and advice to help move the business forward. She's also very good at suggesting cost effective marketing tactics to achieve business objectives. I found it particularly useful to be able to use Amanda's copy writing skills to help with some business needs I had, including refreshing website copy and developing email campaigns. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking to increase their business potential – she acts as my Strategic Marketing Department and is a total godsend!
We asked Vivid Results to prepare our marketing strategy to help us define what we do differently to our competition, and how to best communicate this to prospects and clients to grow our business. Amanda's thorough pre-strategy consultation really helped clarify our objectives and overall direction. This was followed by the delivery of a comprehensive marketing strategy strongly tailored to our requirements, and supplemented with a list of five ready-made marketing campaigns for us to use. We're in the middle of rolling out the first one and are very pleased with the results so far. I would not hesitate in recommending Vivid Results to any small businesses looking to improve their marketing effectiveness.
Amanda joined our small team of organisers for the Kingsbridge Food & Music Festival this year and made such a difference to the success of the event. Communication with the public is key with any event and Amanda immediately stepped in and took responsibility for the press liaison, social media output and creative communication of our event to our target market. She has great ideas which are presented in a professional and considered way, and understood immediately the need to appeal to all members of our community. We had greater numbers than any previous year and I was particularly impressed with her imaginative ideas in relation to interactive social media communication, in addition to her calm and intelligent approach. She is an extremely easy person to work alongside and we hope she will continue to be a much valued member of our small organisational team, building on the success of this year's festival and helping to develop and improve our community event in future years.
Amanda helped me to articulate my marketing strategy and provided some excellent advice, guidance and input on a number of different areas including target audience, use of social media and communications. Amanda is adept at moving from big picture thinking to more detailed practical advice. She is extremely knowledgeable and her warm and engaging approach make you feel incredibly supported.
I was incredibly impressed at how efficient Amanda was and how she was able to interpret the ideas I had in my head. Her approach was very friendly and instantly made me feel at ease that it was a delight to work with her. Her experience and passion for what she does is evident in every call, meeting and email. I wouldn't hesitate to use Amanda at Vivid Results again or indeed recommend her.
Amanda is an excellent all-round marketer and a very solid, efficient and positive individual who has extremely high professional standards. She was extremely effective defining marketing strategy to help grow the membership of The Sales Club from the challenging and critical early days post start-up. She was also very comfortable implementing marketing strategy across multi-channels, including direct marketing, email, content creation, and event management. She has a very strong work ethic, high levels of determination and complete integrity. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda to help any ambitious business with their marketing activities.

Oven Roasted Ribs and 10 Reasons I Am Excited For Fall
Good Morning Everyone!
My apologies for missing a few days of blogging. Things are a whirlwind here as we wrap up summertime and prepare for another school year. It's funny how fast time flies when you're having fun. I must admit that while I enjoy "summer, and sun, and all things hoooot" (yes, I love Olaf), that I am so excited for Fall! Here are my Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Fall:
- Cooler Weather: As a slightly "fluffy" girl, I really don't like to sweat. That being said, as soon as the cool air hits I leap out the front door ready to be outside.
- Cute Clothes: I love dressing in layers. How much fun is it to wear a cute pair of pants, and a top, and then pair that with a fun sweater or hoodie, or jacket?!
- Harvest Festivals: We have a local harvest festival here that is so much fun. The annual parade always gets us in the mood for baking, crafting, and snuggling up.
- Halloween: I love Halloween. I mean, really it is such a fun holiday isn't it? Every year I love getting my daughter dressed up and picking out special candy to pass out.
- Seasonal Baking: In the summertime it's just too hot to bake. But as soon as the cool wind comes in, I bust out the bread machine and muffin tins and away I go! I absolutely love having baked goodies in the house to snack on in the Fall.
- Apple Picking: This is an annual tradition in my family. Every year we go to the local U-Pick farm and pick apples. Sure it may be hot and the tall grass makes me feel a bit itchy, but the fresh apples get turned into so many delicious things… so stay tuned!
- Changing Colors: I love this reason. Right outside of my bedroom window is a giant tree. And almost every day we watch the birds and leaves rustle. It's really amazing to watch the colors of the tree change so close to the house.
- Rain: Where I live it hardly ever rains. In fact, we only see rain about once or twice a year! It's pretty sad. So when Fall rolls around I begin looking at the clouds desperately hoping for it to rain so that I can stand outside and enjoy the pitter patter of raindrops on my face.
- Thanksgiving: Let's be honest, Thanksgiving is the American excuse to over-indulge for one day. Yes, there is history behind it. But it's really just a great excuse to pig out a little bit. I get so excited to plan an elaborate meal for the family and watch everyone tuck into their plates. It's a great feeling.
- My Birthday: My birthday falls right in the heart of Fall. Perhaps that is why I love carving pumpkins so much. Or why I think candied apples are beautiful. Or maybe that's the reason why I loved raking leaves as a kid. Who knows?!
So as we bid adieu to summer and welcome in the Fall, let's look forward to many more blog posts about fun activities and delicious goodies that we can all share with our own loved ones.
And now, onto the recipe! 🙂
For a while now I've wanted to test my hand at a dry rub mix. When I was at the grocery store they were having a sale on ribs, so I thought, "Hey, why not?!" and tossed them into my cart. It was only when I got home that I realized that I didn't have any BBQ sauce! For a moment I panicked and dreaded hopping back in the car just to go get one item. But then I remembered that in many Southern states, ribs are cooked in a dry rub instead of a sauce. So I unloaded the many spices from my little rack and began sprinkling. The result was a delicious, savory, flavorful rack of ribs that would be perfect for any party. Enjoy this recipe everyone and keep on cooking! ❤

All The Way Lyrics
Artist: Glen Campbell
Album: Try A Little Kindness
When somebody loves you it's no good unless she loves you all the way
Happy to be near you when you need someone to cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is that's how it's got to be
And deeper than the deep blue sea is now that's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you it's no good unless she needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years and through all the end between it come what may
Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
Darling all the way
(Who knows where the love will lead us only a fool would say)
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way all the way

It's hard to knock him now
PHILADELPHIA - A few weeks before the Kentucky Derby, somebody asked John Ward if he thought there was any chance we could have a Triple Crown winner this year. The obvious answer was no, since none of the 3-year-olds had really distinguished themselves.
The right answer was Ward's. "Why not?," he said.
Without any great horses in the bunch, this might be the perfect year for a Triple Crown winner.
War Emblem may or may not be a great horse. Time and times will tell us that. But he is clearly the best of this bunch.
War Emblem has only a few problems as he tries to become the 12th Triple Crown winner.
The big colt is now an "everybody'' horse. That's rarely good under any circumstance. That's especially a bad sign because he was a "nobody'' horse three weeks ago.
It's also a little disconcerting that trainer Bob Baffert has gone from understated to overconfident. Still, who can blame him?
Anybody who watched the Preakness has to think War Emblem is going to win the Belmont Stakes. Only those who misunderstood the finish might look elsewhere.
Magic Weisner seemed to be closing fast, but that was a bit of an illusion. War Emblem, after all his battles, was slowing down. What happened after the wire was as important as what happened before it. Once War Emblem caught a glimpse of Magic Weisner, he pulled away again. He won the gallop out to the clubhouse turn by a few lengths. Anybody who thinks the Preakness winner was a tired horse at the finish simply was not paying close enough attention.
No 3-year-old gets Beyers of 112, 114, and 109 in April and May without being very talented. No horse fights off all the challenges War Emblem did without being top class.
Any horse with speed and courage is a major threat to win the Belmont. War Emblem obviously qualifies on both counts.
What many missed after the Derby was this. Since Winning Colors wired the 1988 Derby, the early leader in the Derby had finished 13th, 16th, 15th, 14th, third, 18th, 16th, 14th, 16th, 17th, eighth, 15th, and eighth. Until War Emblem went all the way.
Any horse who can run through that history and then show an entirely different dimension two weeks later clearly is serious.
Remember all those other "speed'' horses in the Preakness. Other than Menacing Dennis, War Emblem made them all look slow by comparison. That is not to be overlooked.
Wayne Lukas was complaining of traffic problems after the Preakness, saying his two horses (Table Limit and Proud Citizen) were caught wide on the first turn. Well, whose fault was that? Lukas chose outside post positions. He got what he asked for.
Baffert is so sharp right now that he chose post 8 knowing that the other trainers with speed horses would choose to stay outside of War Emblem. They all fell right into the trap.
Under the circumstances, Proud Citizen ran a terrific race. He made a terrific run at War Emblem in the stretch. Would an easier trip for Proud Citizen around the first turn have changed the outcome? I doubt it. War Emblem has had the lead in the stretch six times. He is 6 for 6.
As the Belmont approaches, some will focus on War Emblem's early career. Forget that. It's irrelevant. He has now decisively beaten the horses who finished in front of him in his first life.
In this life, War Emblem has been dominant, winning his three races prior to the Preakness by a combined 21 lengths without ever being behind a horse. His Preakness was dominant in another way. Now, all War Emblem has to do is overcome the fact that for the first time in his life, he looks obvious.

Mapping the Archive – Mapping Australian Media Art – 2014-2016
Mapping is a two-year (2014-16) participatory project initiated by Leisa Shelton/Fragment31, to archive the public memories of seminal points in Australian Media Art, Live Art and Performance Practice. It seeks to reveal seemingly forgotten artists and make visible undocumented lineages of practice.
"Future Past" was presented to celebrate the 10-year anniversary celebrations for Melbourne's Arts House. As part of the exhibition Leisa Shelton presented the performance installation 'Future Past: Archive' during which she typed up the name of each of the many artists who have worked in the trail-blazing venue over it's first decade.
Designing 'Mapping Australian Media Art' at Experimenta
As part of Experimenta's New Work Commission, eight exquisitely handcrafted archival boxes have been created by artists Tom Burless and James McAllister. These boxes will hold the completed cards under lock and key, creating a lasting installation and testament to the project.
Tom Burless (TOMIKEH) is an industrial artisan living and working in Melbourne. His practice is centred around the design and manufacture of limited run, bespoke products: utilitarian objects, fixtures, fittings, tools, domestic items, furnishings etc. His industrial capabilities are small scale but his capacity for innovation and a broad range of industrial contacts and working relationships with diverse material suppliers give him considerable manufacturing range. His design sensibilities reflect an interest in the manufacturing aesthetics of "Modern Era" Germany, Eastern Europe and Japan, but are also informed by his eclectic interests in art and cultural history. His deeply considered approach to design and an ever-present curiosity about new, old and sometimes forgotten materials and processes, gives his work a unique character. Tom is also a photographer and an archivist of industrial paraphernalia and detritus.
James McAllister (BARBOUR) is an artist with diverse interests in drawing, the making of objects, installation, performance and industrial design. His initial training is in visual arts but the need to be able to work outside this framework has meant the acquisition of a broad range skills and disciplines. He has taught drawing, art history and design for theatre, worked in industrial prototyping and manufacturing design, produced wearable art (ornament) that has been included in a 2012 contemporary jewellery exhibition at the London Design Museum and has most recently been engaged in an ongoing research project addressing the theoretical and practical concerns that surround the potential for (and substance of) the transaction between the artist and his/her client. The research considers the possibility of a soft or intimate architecture that both constitutes and facilitates this interaction.

Evolution of Fax Machines
The word fax is an abbreviation for the word facsimile, which means creating a duplicate copy of a written or printed material. Fax machines are being extensively used to send information in the form of images or printed text through electric currents from one place to another. This technology is used mostly for official work where instant information can be sent on paper, or hard copy of information can be sent immediately, from places that are physically away.
History of Fax Machines:
- The invention of facsimile technology was done by Alexander Bain in the year 1843. The technology he developed using pendulums of a clock and cylinders transmitted images but of a poor quality.
- Frederick Bakewell improvised on Alexander Bain's invention by substituting pendulums with cylinders and succeeded in producing a clearer image.
- Even if the technology or machine was invented it was not put to use or commercially made available until the year of 1865.
- The credit for commercial success of fax machines could be given to Giovanni Caselli. He further improvised on the previous versions and called his fax machine as the Pantelegraph, which meant sending images through wire, like the telegraph.
- After the invention of telephones by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, many upgradation was done to Giovanni Casseli's invention of Pantelegraph to send fax through telephone wires.
- Shelford Bidwell: Usage of selenium cells to send images through telephone lines. Also called it as tele-photography.
- Edouard Belin: Used the power of light to create impression of image. Called it Belinographe. The technology of sending signatures through fax was called as Teleautograph. Ushering into the twentieth century fax become hugely popular and also underwent some major changes and updates technology and result wise.
- Radio fax: Used radio transmission signals to send images. Herbert E Ives introduced colour to the until now black and white fax machines. In the mid 1900's the Xerox Corporation, pioneers in fax industry introduced the long distance machines that could send a whole document from one place to another within six minutes.
- With the demand of fax machines increasing the competition in the market increased which led to launch of efficient, quicker and smaller in size fax machines.
Importance of Fax Machines:
In the age of technology every year some or the other technology or product becomes outdated and is not used extensively anymore. For example: pagers, CD disks etc. But fax machines have remained an integral part of our work for more than fifty years now.
Fax has evolved to suit digital needs:
One of the main reasons that fax does not become irrelevant is because it keeps on updating itself to suit modern lifestyle needs. For our internet savvy generation using smartphones, telephone lines are becoming less attractive. To counter this problem there is a technology that could transmit fax through internet using internet protocols. Though not as faster as telephone lines yet works as efficiently.
Has prominence and relevance in today's world:
Fax machines are extremely important for business small and large alike https://www.faxburner.com/. The amount of security and accuracy served by fax machines in transferring important documents such as financial documents or medical records cannot be achieved in other forms of transmission. The breakdown of a fax machine can potentially bring down the business to a halt for that duration. Hence businesses all over the world ensure that their fax machines are working well.
Topmost Secure Mode of Transmission:
The main reason why fax remains so popular and relevant till date is due to the strict T30 protocol it follows to ensure secure data. The protocol enables the data to transfer from node to node without any interruption, in chance of malicious activity detected the transfer stops and the whole transaction is deemed failed. Reports of these activities are received by the sender as well as the receiver.
Adaptive Nature of fax to every environment: The technology of fax is extremely compatible with all business types, size whether large or small, and technologies. It is compatible with resource management software such as ERP and CRM as well document software such as Microsoft office etc.

Microsoft's chief financial advisor Chris Liddell has revealed that Xbox 360 owners are purchasing on average seven gamers per unit – a figure he claims is a console record. "We're now at a stage where we sell about seven games per console and that's a record certainly for any console and relative to history," commented Liddell to CNBC.
The last time Microsoft talked attach rates for the Xbox 360 was last January, where the company said the average user owned 5.3 software titles.
i'm pretty sure PS2 owners own more than 7 each... are they talking about this gen only?
What, are you going to do in the nearest future except claiming different laughful achievements?
Sony is taking back your market...
Nintendo is just more profitable and popular...
It seems that there are no land for Microsoft in the modern video game industry.
Attach rates are a funny thing... I have 4 360 games (and 2 came with the console and I wouldn't have bought them as is) and really can't think of anymore worth buying, while I have 9 PS3 games and there's some I've yet to pick up.
I have more PSP games than DS games.
Hell, I have more Wii games than 360 games.
Basically, I'm wondering what games 360 owners are buying because I played the demo of Bioshock and didn't like it, hated Halo 3's single player and I have already finished Gears at a friend's house.
Edit: Who the hell disagreed? I'm seriously curious, I don't want the 360 to become like Wii and sit there unused.
Edit 2: I have a weird taste, but while everyone has been bigging up the 360s line-up last year, it just wasn't a line up for me, especially since I don't like FPS games. I think my bias for the PS3 is just because of my taste, it has the games I do like. I'd easily take Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank over Halo 3 and Bioshock, just personal opinion
I don't dislike the 360, even, but it's sad that I've bought more XBLA arcade games than actual games which I wasn't expecting.
All three consoles have relatively the same games sales per console.
Microsoft rushing their console to market a year before the current gen started of course has more total game sales.
Average numbers of games bought per PS3/months on the market
is roughly equal to
Average numbers of games bought per Wii/months on the market
is roughly equal to
Average numbers of games bought per 360/months on the market

Feel free to work on it, but it will not be committed until after the beta. This patch takes a real chance of de-stabilizing the server, which is what we are trying to avoid. The goal here is to get the server to the point that we can get to beta.

Engineering >> Electrical Engineering
Accurate Counting System
by Zachary Stewart
Submitted : Fall 2016
Ball Corporation produces roughly eight millions cans per day. This is where I have interned with the engineering team for six months. When introduced to the Applied Calculus Project, I went straight to the Electrical Supervisor. He simply told me to find a more precise way of counting each can. I first had to examine one can and find the exact dimensions of it. After calculating the curvature of the lip on the can, I then calculated how fast the belt moved. The only problem was the cans move too fast for just one PLC to count and record. Utilizing the volumes will certainly help in determining the count.
The conclusion I came to was to mathematically find a counter that would have an operating speed capable of recording .2 microseconds. Along with this, I needed a sensor capable of counting to two hundred microseconds. The counter would then process fifty cans and then send the information in a slow enough increment for the PLC to receive and record the data. This is a much more reliable and consistent way to record the cans produced.
