Having just spent the last two days amongst some of the most interesting, intelligent and forward thinking individuals, I've come to appreciate a greater understanding of what exactly content strategy is all about.
What I'm most interested in is how it can relate the world I work in. I'm a copywriter and I write onsite and offsite content, that's a strategy in itself, but am I going to establish another strategy, something more relevant to SEO and how it can drive traffic? Well that was my intention, but I got a whole lot more than that…thanks to my employers, I've come across something much larger than my initial pursuit for what helps drive traffic.
The conference was split into two days. On day one every attendee sat in the auditorium watching the brainchild's of this evolving discipline. First up was the Gerry McGovern. With great humour Gerry explained the importance of the task when it comes to content.
Manage the tasks, not the content
What is the task of your content? What do you want people to do with your content? Instead of managing the content itself, Gerry advocates managing the use of the content. So what does this actually mean? It means helping your customers achieve what they want in the fastest possible time, this will help your site become more successful.
The essence of Gerry's talk is that helpful and supportive content will help people find exactly what they want quickly and effectively. Fluff won't do this…it's all about support content; this is the new marketing in Gerry's opinion.
So how do we know what supportive content to write? Well this obviously depends on the client, but it's incredibly important to focus on what the user wants. He uses great examples from Liverpool Council and the NHS to name a few, where simple changes to the site structure and the language used can help a lot. In this sense it's all about site links, removing the clutter with simple drop down bars where you can select exactly the page you're after.
To establish what to cut and what to change it's important that we measure what people are doing; it has to be evidence based. SEO is driven by data, so why can't the content on the site be as well? The way that people respond to specific words and sentences needs to be rigorously tested, and then we can look forward. A point that Gerry makes is that we succeed based on facts, not opinions, and so we need to be methodical and scientific when it comes to web content as we want to drive behaviour.
Takeaway: Support content is the new marketing
Content strategy methodology: a DIY project
Next up was Melissa Rach who provided a great insight into creating a content strategy methodology. What we learned was that methodologies are different to strategies. When we think of methodology we think of something that is repeatable. Methodologies are specific methods that are efficient, predictable, and easy to communicate. Strategies are different because methodologies and specific methods all have the same outcome; strategies are to get people to an area that we don't know about. So in this respect, there isn't a one size fits all approach to content strategy.
So what's the solution and where do we start? Well using her work from Brain Traffic, the core of their content strategy work is to:
Get set: Make sure everyone is ready for change.
Bet: Establishing our options and what we are going to try out.
Vet: Taking big ideas and drilling them down into the details.
Sweat: Creating, publishing and updating content.
As an approach to content strategy, this is fascinating, but how do we get to this stage? What are the building blocks?
1. What is your role as a strategist? Create clarity, facilitate smart decisions, align stakeholders and help operationalise change.
2. What about documentation? You can start conversations, document decisions and reference materials. This is very much a by product of a methodology.
3. Look at areas of a content strategy. Consider the content, so that's the Substance and structure, and also look at the people delivering the content, so that's workflow and governance.
4. Start the Strategic process. Most of them go through four stages as we discovered. Get set, bet, vet and sweat.
Melissa was keen to stress that content strategy products take a long time, and the industry is moving faster than that. So it's crucial for us to share. The competitive advantage we get is from learning from other people.
Takeaway: Share our knowledge!
First things first: message matters
Margot Bloomstein's talk focussed on the message architecture; it's a little thing with a big impact! In order to understand what it is we are trying to communicate, we should establish a message architecture made up of shared concrete terminology.
This is where we need to converse with the client about the words they want to use; and Margot demonstrates a case study where they get ideas from a client about relevant words, which they then sort, all 150 adjectives. Known as card sorting they can discover with the client more about the words they want to use by sorting them into three columns; who we are, who we are not and who we would like to be.
Always ask the client, "What do you mean by that word?" this opens them up and enables her to establish the corporate culture which forms the copy they later write. The final step is to then prioritise these goals and tell the story of their aspirations.
Why do this? Because it saves money. This can also help with content audits, where you discover what is accurate to the brand and the message architecture. Using an example from the Mini launch in the US, their site was consistent with the language they used right down to the legal pages.
Explore the message architecture; it has many benefits including analysis and content audit. This way you can judge existing content by the standards you've established and you'll be able to see what content works and what doesn't.
Takeaway: a messaging strategy is relevant to a brand strategy
The way forward: what's next for content strategy
One of the most inspiring speakers was Karen McGrane, especially for those who have or are establishing themselves as content strategists, focussed on the user experience. Whilst my day to day work doesn't deal with the sophistication of what Karen and her clients are looking achieve, not yet anyway, it does present perfectly the future of this rapidly evolving discipline and profession.
Karen works with a lot of publishers who come to her saying they need redesigns of their CMS because they are overloaded with different platforms and because they can't use their CMS to facilitate all of them.
Using a wonderful anecdote she tells us about a business that have employed a war correspondent, one so good he managed to negotiate the Soviets and the Afghanistan forces to sit down and talk. Once his duties were over, they tasked him with overseeing the changes to their CMS, to incorporate many platforms that all departments were happy with. Weeks turned into months and months turned into years, three years to be exact. Why? Because the man that got opposing forces to communicate couldn't even get the IT and editorial departments to agree on an effective CMS – it's that tough!
For clients of hers, Karen is experiencing these major problems amongst companies:
Fragmented content management
Fragmented organisations structure
Fragmented devices and platforms
So where do we go from here?
1. Bridging web marketing and technology through user experience.
2. Get businesses to restructure to get them up to date. To do so we need to embrace the loveable fool. This may sound random, but it makes so much sense when negotiating change in a business. People listen to the lovable fool, they like them, they don't like the jerk, not matter how competent or incompetent he or she is.
3. There is no 'mobile'. Using NPR as an example, who dedicated time developing an API enabling them to create one piece of copy which can be redistributed to a variety of different platforms. Unsexy, yes, but they have seen a drastic increases in sales because of it.
The mobile 'problem' presents us with an opportunity to say to businesses that they need a CMS fit for purpose. It's an exciting future with huge problems to solve and it seems that the NPR case study is an example for many to behold.
Takeaway: Your CMS workflow is integral to making money
On All the Different "Web Governances" in the Universe
"Why is content strategy so hard?" asks Lisa Welchman. Well she answers her own question, "it's not". Content seems hard because it exists in a dynamic context. Multi channel delivery, web, mobile, print, fax, phone, email. Some of these are on their way out and some are on the way in.
Due to its dynamism, not everyone believes it's content, because other people (depending on their role) say it's different; they may call content records, documents, meta, knowledge, information, data. It's not either or, it's a big AND. So information has become uncertain. But what do you do with all these different terms?
This is where Lisa's profession comes in – Web Governance. Helping change organisational structures from hierarchical based to object based. "Eh?" I hear you shout. In other words every single person in a business needs to collaborate around shared goals. This will help you refer to a set of standards agreed by the relevant experts in each area.
Governance can start grand but eventually gets funnelled down to content governance. However, Lisa warns that if corporate governance is confused at the top, then it'll be confusing at every stage.
Takeaway: Don't be a barrier to the organisational change, but be open to the governing process.
Content strategists: the men and women of a new Renaissance
Eric Reiss is worried that we will all commit the same problems that have happened in the past. Having sent his first email in 1981, he jokingly confirms that he outranks all of us in the digital world – I can't argue with that.
The strategy part is easy. It's about reaching the business goals of the client whilst satisfying the goals of the users. We have to define, acquire, publish and link useful, usable, quality, and fresh content. The rest is tactics.
So what are we getting wrong? Well using a great example of two websites that sell hiking boots, L.L. Bean and Lands' End. One sell more hiking boots than the other based on a simple tactical difference; and it's nothing new, shoe makers have been doing it for years to the point where he shows images from the early 1900's of the same effective solution – show the sole of the boot when presenting the image.
It's all about a Shared Reference, give people what they want. In the case above, it's the image of the boot with the sole, it's traditional and effective. Context is incredibly important too, especially when building a story. From bars, to coffee shops and fruit and veg stores, they all have content strategies displaying their contextually relevant content. It's worked for years so we don't need to change it. McDonalds have their content strategy down to a tee. Burger, fries….and….yep you guessed it, drink.
Content strategy is nothing new, and there are other disciplines that do what we do. So there's no point in over thinking it or defining it, let's just do it.
Takeaway: if content is king, then context is the kingdom.
Making sense of the (new) new content landscape
"Things are odd and they're getting odder by the day" according to Erin Kissane. So what are we going to do?
A new framework? If that is the answer then it needs to make good publishing decisions now and in the future, and it needs to work for all of us. This is because we all have different approaches. So how do we bridge all of these approaches together?
Using her love for Christopher Alexander and what he calls space architecture, she is able to establish that the patterns which work and make us feel better are the ones that have life and bring things to life. "Life is good thing to focus on" and using an example from her favourite magazine, Wired, she shows how the app for Wired needs to take heed and come to life. Here's how…
Finding out what people need, and harmonising their needs. Useful, accessible, searchable, findable, portable, and fundamentally usable in many ways.
Ways of building hooks, to allow the content we produce to interconnect with people's real lives. This isn't the share icons at the bottom of every page (this blog included), it's the way Twitter on the mobile has become the mobile water cooler for everyone.
The Times have ostensibly given up their interconnectedness because of its a pay wall. However The NY Times is different. It's still accessible and permeable because it's more important to keep people on the web, so much so this is known as a 'paid fence', not a 'paid wall'.
Base isolation; this is, for example, how architects and builders construct buildings which are earthquake proof. Don't be too dependent on third party APIs because they are vulnerable.
Takeaway: bringing things to life is critical to content strategy now
The language of software: the role of content strategy in software development
Des Traynor provided a hugely entertaining yet informative and knowledgeable speech on the language of interfaces focussing on how websites are all turning into web apps and what we need to do to be a part of it.
What we know is that the web is being rebuilt around people e.g. Trip advisor and Facebook – people come to read the content. But content strategy needs to be ingrained into software development and contribute significantly to the whole process.
So how is content strategy going to do this?
Design a user interface for user generated content. Language influences behaviour, it influences the actions and relationships we encounter. Whether you tweet, like, plus one, they are different and influence relationships. It's all about context too, because 'friends' are different to people that you 'follow'.
Create content for users to consume. So you have a blank slate, but what do I say on a blank wall? What do I tweet and update with? Traynor likens this to talk radio; they set the tone but let the listeners fill the void. It's the same with web content and the way design decisions control user behaviour. To show his point we are presented with hilarious examples from YouTube comments and yahoo answers.
Takeaway: content strategy contributes in two ways – designing interfaces to drive content and create consumable content
How did we all get here?
Richard Ingram presents a fascinating account, rich in data that was pooled together from all the attendees in the months leading to the conference.
Among so much else, Richard discovered that 'content strategy' is a field that is approximately made up of 60% females and 40% males. Also the vast majority of the backgrounds of study for content strategists are English language, English literature and journalism. You can see all of Richard's data compiled on his own site.
From a selfish point of view, this was very reassuring for me. On arrival to the conference I immediately realised that as a copywriter I did belong here, but where exactly? Everyone else had so much more strategic or technical experience, and I realised this will come in time and we have to start somewhere, but the fact that the majority of people were educated in these fields and started out as copywriters reaffirmed my belief in content strategy.
Lightening Talks
The final part of the first day saw four incredibly brave and fast talking specialists take to the stage to talk about their strategies, case studies and thoughts on this discipline going forward. Shelly Wilson, Matthew Grocki, Nicole Jones, Sara Wachter-Boettcher deserve a big congratulations for what seemed like impossible but very enlightening talks.
The day was rounded off perfectly with a drinks reception where everyone mingled, networked and discussed their thoughts on the day. Fun was had by all, but it was only the first day, day two was to follow…
Unlike 08 numbers, 03 numbers cost the same to call as geographic landline numbers (starting 01 and 02), even from a mobile phone. They are also normally included in your inclusive call minutes. Please note we may record some calls.

STAR WARS – The Goosebumps Scenes (Part I)
Some of you may have heard…there is a new Star Wars movie coming out on Dec. 18. Trailers for the J.J. Abrams-helmed The Force Awakens look promising, and full of wonder. Hope springs eternal, and the very thought of a new Star Wars episode comes with the palpable hope that we will experience something worthy of the fabled original trilogy.
Speaking of that original trilogy, New Hollywood's Holy Triumvirate, what is there really left to say about it? Probably not a whole lot, but that won't stop me from trying. However, instead of the hundred-thousandth traditional write-up for these movies, this will be a space to single out a few key moments from each film. These moments might be considered the greatest cinematic moments in the trilogy—the goosebumps-inducing moments that will never get old. Without further ado…
The 8 best moments from Star Wars (a.k.a. Episode IV: A New Hope)
1. The Opening Crawl and First Shot
The opening crawl and the first shot of Star Wars will always take the cake. This is the first time you hear John Williams' immortal fanfare, followed closely thereafter by a shot of a serene spatial expanse, hovering near a large planetoid with another looming in the distance. A space ship races into the picture from the top of the frame. This is exciting, but it's what comes next that really sets the whole thing off. The pointed nose of a second ship follows the first into the screen. It takes a moment to register, but the frame's sense of scale quickly alerts us to just how massive the second ship is compared with the first. The ships are firing lasers back and forth at one another. They must not like each other. The game is afoot!
If you're not completely jazzed by the time you meet Darth Vader a few moments later, then you are doing it wrong. Dropping the audience right into the action with hardly any buildup was fairly novel at the time, and remains an iconic opening salvo to this day.
2. The Binary Sunset
The plot is in motion right from the first shot, but that doesn't mean there isn't time for a detour. Said detour takes us to Tatooine, where we meet an obnoxiously obnoxious Luke Skywalker. He may be whiney, but boy, does he ever brood in style. There's nothing like a binary sunset to strike just the right mood. On paper, there's nothing too interesting about this scene. It's just Luke staring off into the distance. Pure characterization. Then Williams' Force Theme kicks in. With the music, the rich purples in the sky, and that look in Luke's face…forget about it.
3. "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
This scene is played straight, and sticks out from the hero's journey/fantasy mashup of the rest of the film. On paper it seems like a boring scene; it's all telling and no showing. But what we actually get is artful and laced with characterization for Darth Vader. Everything about this scene is great. The expository bickering of the officers, followed by their telling silence when Vader and Tarkin enter the room. The ominous comments about destroying whole planets, and the equally ominous hints about a mysterious Force that only Vader seems to possess.
4. "An elegant weapon for a more civilized age."
It doesn't take long for Luke and his new droid friends to run into Obi-Wan Kenobi. Old Ben saves them from an unpleasant fate, and then invites them into his home. Kenobi proceeds to regale Luke with tales of his father, and bestows upon him his father's Jedi weapon. Luke isn't a dexterous swordsman, but he does fire up that lightsaber and give it a few elegant waves through the air. If, by chance, you haven't heard the lightsaber "hum" sound-effect in a while, it really clears your sinuses out.
5. "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?"
When Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, and R2-D2 roll up on Mos Eisley Space Port (you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy), you know something great is about to happen. More specifically, this guy:
Han Solo's introductory scene is one of the great moments in this film. Harrison Ford had a few small roles under his belt by the mid-70s, but he was not a movie star yet. Even in Star Wars, Ford was not yet a fully-formed persona. But he was really close. As you can see by his lax posture and devil-may-care expression, Solo was Ford's launch pad. After the sequence of him bragging about how fast his Falcon can fly, mocking Luke, and shooting the bull with Greedo, his screen legend was all but cemented. Oh, and these guys were chilling in the background the whole time:
6. "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy!"
When Obi-Wan & Co. commission Han Solo's services, there's no way of knowing that he's not just a loud-mouthed schmuck. But soon enough, Han proves his mettle by successfully extracting his highly-sought-after passengers in the middle of shootout and evading a star destroyer (remember the big ship that captured the little ship in the first scene?). Also, hyperspace is rad.
7. Obi-Wan's Sacrifice
When Obi-Wan and Vader commence their geriatric lightsaber duel, we still don't know much about the Force. We know it can be used to choke people from across the room, and that it can be used to near-Marxian proportions to fool people. And then Obi-Wan lets Vader run him through, but only after portending, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine." This comment, in addition to Obi-Wan vanishing upon his death, give us the first evidence that this Force thing may have some pretty grand implications.
8. "You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!"
This scene is so action-packed that, even re-watching it, it feels way longer than it actually is. Several rebel pilots take a run at the Death Star only to get shot down. Then, it's Luke's turn. As he's barreling down that trench toward pay-dirt in his X-Wing, Luke has the rebel command in his ear, Obi-Wan in his heart, and Darth Vader on his tail. Then, out of nowhere, Han swoops in and chases off Vader's TIE fighter. Now Luke has all kinds of time. He feels the Force, switches off his targeting computer, and bulls-eyes that 2-meters-wide thermal exhaust port. No big deal.
More coming soon! Stay tuned for the best moments from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

ATM Hot Salt
ATM Hot Salt
ATM is proud to introduce Hot Salt Reef, the driest and cleanest salt found in the market. Hot Salt is made of high quality "anhydrous" raw materials that have been constructed without the presence of moisture at all, thus providing a completely moisture-free salt. This is important because moisture represents the largest source of contaminants found in salt. Along with superior clearing time, ready time, consistency, and least amount of salt necessary to achieve salinity, Hot Salt Reef is simply the best. Like all other ATM products, Hot Salt is a proprietary formula and is not found in any other product.
The Evidence, Please
Not all salts are created equally. The new paradigm in salt is not only about "parameters". This is a remedial expectation of a quality salt. What separates the men from the boys is purity. Luckily for hobbyists, the difference in salt purity can be proven and seen empirically beyond any doubt.
Typical salts that contain moisture generate little to no heat at all when mixed with water. This is because the materials are already hydrated, slowing down the absorption rate. Hot Salt's anhydrous materials, on the other hand, are the exact opposite. They have been quality controlled to such a degree that they contain no moisture so that they contain no contaminants. The average concentrated exothermic benchmark for salt mixes range from 80-120 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, Hot Salt registers at temperatures above boiling!
Hot Salt requires the fewest grams of any other salt to reach desired salinity. For instance, if Hot Salt requires 35g per liter and another salt requires 38.5 grams to achieve the same salinity, that is 3.5 grams of moisture and or unwanted additives! Adding this up over a 25 kg bucket the difference is not grams, but kilos! And in those kilos of water is nitrates, phosphates, organics, heavy metals, and the whole scope of contaminants that are found in salt moisture. It doesn't take a scientist to see the cumulative effect this has on the aquarium over time.
Clearing And Ready Time
Unlike other salts that leave residues that linger, Hot Salt is completely clear in around six minutes and is ready to use in one hour. The reason is because Hot Salt utilizes all naturally occurring components*, thus relying on far fewer chemical reactions to achieve proper mix and equilibrium. Hot Salt is, without a doubt, the envy of all other salt mixes.
*Synthetic components can also cause a higher exothermic reaction due to prolonged reaction time but is not related to dryness or purity.
ATM knows that hobbyists wants useful and valuable information they can apply to their systems. They want to get to the point. With Hot Salt you get what you pay for and never less. There's no better deal. Peace of mind is everything

I have had several striking experiences working with people who have neurological disorders or who have entered a terminal stage in their cancer. In each of these people their disease progression had begun to alter and destroy certain cognitive functions. When this starts to happen it is more difficult for them to communicate what is going on inside and even to stay present to the people who love them and are trying to care for them. The person often appears tired and "out of it." Sometimes I have experienced people looking like they are already in a coma. Usual ways of communicating are often frustrating for the caregiver because there is not much response, or else there may be a response that seems "off the wall" or like an hallucination.
Yet, in these circumstances of physical decline, when I would respond from and to a felt sense level, the person seemed still intact and experiencing in the present. This raises a question about how the 'felt sense' relates to brain functioning and cognitive processing. Let me give you some examples, each of which is an instance of this same point.
A woman in her 60's came to see me reporting symptoms of depression. She said she felt down and would get a stomachache on the mornings when she was to go to work. She said her daughter told her to come to see me because she had noticed changes in her over the last year, such as stopping in the middle of a thought or saying something that didn't relate to the conversation she was having with her. She said her daughter commented: "Mom just isn't herself."
I was aware of what I had been taught about the differences between depression in the elderly and possible indications of dementia. As I spoke with this woman, she could identify relevant stresses; however, the unawareness of the changes in her cognitive functioning and the confusion around why people at work were giving her less responsibility led me to be concerned about possible organic causes. I worked with her physician who authorized many tests and consultations with specialists. This was a very painful process for my client because she was made aware of dramatic deficits in her cognitive abilities of which up to that point she had been in denial.
Fortunately, she had a loving spouse and family who were involved in this diagnostic process and were very supportive. They met with the physicians along the way and were present at the final session when the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease was confirmed.
The physician described this meeting to me and commented with concern about this woman's reaction to her diagnosis. The patient was asked if she understood the diagnosis. Apparently, with absolutely no affect she just nodded her head affirmatively. Then the physician asked her how she felt about hearing this. She reported that the patient laughed and said she felt fine about it all. Both the physician and the family experienced her reactions as quite inappropriate and interpreted this as further evidence of the progression of the dementia. The family then began to talk to each other as if my client did not understand what was going on. Her husband even took it upon himself to inform friends of her condition in her presence without her consent and without any sensitivity to what it might be like for her to witness this revelation.
In our next session I experienced something quite different. My knowledge of focusing has given me particular skill in being able to elicit someone's experiencing and I was able to gently ask her about the meeting with the doctor and what it was like. I did my best experiential listening. My careful reflections of each part of what she was saying, I believe, enabled her to stay connected to her 'felt sense' and so she was able to slowly and deliberately describe to me in detail her understanding of her diagnosis of Alzheimer's, including the medical treatments and why. To my amazement it was clear that she had heard and understood everything that was said in that meeting.
I then wanted to hear about her emotional responses to all of this. I tried to create a space that could hold the whole of all her responses. I didn't want to predetermine her reactions by saying something like: "Are you frightened?" Instead, I wanted to help her access her felt sense of the whole of her response. I said something like: "I want to hear slowly from you all that went on inside you as you participated in that meeting with Dr. ____ and your family. Take your time." She began to cry. And then slowly she spoke with great distress about how upsetting this was to her, how scared she was, and how humiliated she felt when her husband told their friends without discussing this with her. She spoke with specificity, going into who these friends were and what they meant to her and why, especially because of who they were, that she felt so devalued by her husband's actions. She began to articulate what she was worried about that might happen in the future. And more, and more. She just poured out so much. She even said that in the meeting with the doctors she didn't want to alarm her family so she acted as if it didn't bother her.
All I did with her was to try to connect her to her "felt sense" level of experiencing. That's all. I was struck by how intact she remained, even with the cognitive impairments that had become more severe over the many months I had now known her. She grasped her situation fully and experienced understandable emotional responses to her situation. She clearly needed to continue to be related to as the whole person she still was, with the assumption that she was continuing to understand what was happening to her, at least at that point in the progression of her illness.
I knew that this woman was very private and reserved. Even before her illness, it was characteristic of her to keep her feelings to herself and not let people know when she was upset. She had experienced a childhood trauma and tried to tell her mother about it, but her mother told her never to speak of it. So really, as she faced into this difficult illness, she responded as she characteristically would. But this didn't mean that she didn't know what she felt or was experiencing. The physician and her family interpreted her reserve and attempt to hide her real responses as caused by her illness.
Because of what I know about focusing I was able to question this woman in that pivotal session in such a way that I elicited her inner experience. I called a meeting with her and her husband and with my support she was able to tell her husband how she really felt about his interaction with their friends. I explained to him how she needed him to ask her about how she was doing inside. These kinds of interventions helped them change some of their communication patterns so that she could continue to express what was going on inside her as she faced into this relentless illness that has no cure.
I heard someone, who is an expert on brain physiology, comment that people with Alzheimer's Disease do not have a soul because they no longer have a self that experiences. There seems to be an assumption about dementia that once certain cognitive functioning begins to go, there is no person in there continuing to have "intact" experiencing. This leads people to change how they relate to such people, which in turn increases the social isolation and may, possibly, quicken the decline.
What I observed in this situation has led me to wonder whether we are jumping to conclusions about what happens to the person and their experiencing. I have read of some Alzheimer's patients who began to paint or draw and this had a positive impact on their symptoms, while at the same time providing an outlet to communicate meaningfully. I am not a neurologist, but I wonder how this works that even as parts of the brain cannot function normally, a self continues to experience and grasp one's situation. Maybe because a felt sense is bodily, the knowledge that is carried this way can continue to process when certain functions go.
She is Now Dying
I had been working with A. for over a year and a half. She was fighting metastatic cancer and she utilized Clearing a Space and Focusing on a weekly basis. There is much to tell about this woman's situation, but I want to talk about what happened when it was clear that she was dying. She had been in the hospital to receive the "last hope" treatment. I had been planning to visit her, but when I called her room no one answered. I tried the Nurses' Station and the nurse's comment was that the husband hadn't been there for several days. I then called the husband and he informed me that the doctors' said that the treatment was not effective and there was nothing else they could do. I told him I was going to the hospital.
When I arrived the door was closed. I walked in, with trepidation. I didn't know what to expect. The room was dark and the curtains were closed. I thought, oh my, now that there is no medical treatment that can save her life, everyone has abandoned her! I walked slowly over to her bed. She didn't arouse. She was lying limp, breathing laboriously. Her mouth was open and it looked like her eyes were rolled back into her head. I thought she was in a coma. I called softly to her and got no answer. I was so overcome with her decline that I sat in a chair and started crying. Suddenly her eyes opened wide. She even sat up in her bed and stared at me with fierceness in her eyes. She looked straight at me and exclaimed: "You're feeling the temporality of it all!" She then, in a sense, came alive again. She talked about how she knew she was dying. I asked her what she needed now and she then began to talk about what it meant to her that she was dying and how she wanted to handle this, including what she wanted to take care of regarding relationships and possessions before she died. She went home the next day and began a very intentional journey into her dying.
What was it about my crying that awakened her? I asked myself this question. Yes, it was an expression of my care for her. But even more, I was fully present in my own bodily experiencing and I was acknowledging the truth of her situation directly in her presence, in contrast to the doctors and her husband. This enabled her to stay connected to her own bodily knowing of the truth as well.
Interpersonal Communication
As A. continued on her journey of dying, her cognitive functioning declined even more. For a while, once she went home and began dealing directly with her dying process, she was able to communicate well. But gradually, her thoughts shifted over into almost pure imagery. She would mumble about the images and then would drift away into what looked like a dream state. She experienced a lot of agitation and would just lie in bed with colored pencils and color scribbly lines on paper. At this point, when I would visit her she seemed unreachable.
I spoke with her husband and he described the same experience and he said that he was withdrawing more and more. I encouraged him to talk to her about how he was feeling, what he was experiencing with the strength and intensity that matched his experience. There with him, I supported him in this process and this brought fruit. We could visibly see her "come back" and she would make eye contact and respond with beautiful expressions of her feelings and what it was like for her at this stage of the process. I learned that, although she couldn't initiate communication any longer, that she still was aware and continuing to process her own leave taking, especially in relationship to the people she was close with. What she needed was for others to speak to her from their felt experiencing to connect her to her own experiencing. This way she was not left alone to die. Her husband could continue to feel close to her as well and he was able to say all of what he needed to say before she died.
In all three of these examples, by staying in my own felt sense in the situations and paying attention to the felt sense of the other person, connection and explication of experience remained possible when more ordinary language and cognitive functions were being lost.

Partninja, thanks.I have to say, my opponents generally gun my Reapers down in two turns....usually from 9" away.... The Prism usually survives.
That's not blatant, this is blatant: I'm super happy that I'm playing Austria, the greatest nation in all of Diplomacy!Azore of Austria
You don't need to drive by them. You can drop off the reapers in your deployment zone. It's just a way they don't get shot off the table t1.
ALL HAIL THE TORNADO! The legend is REBORN.
The forum member so nice that even when he is MIA he still gets two votes for being the nicest member
So, what your saying is it's not your fault you look stupid by using words you don't get?Flawless logic.
Cerka!I like to run 2 prisms and 9-10 Reapers as my Heavy Support choices, and I've done it several times in 8th ed now, so lemme give you my opinion:

10. Misted Yellow
It's not bright yellow, but it's not mustard yellow either. It's sort of a dusty, greyish, muted yellow. A dirty yellow. A yellow that gets into trouble. A yellow that's full of secrets.
Clockwise from top left:Â Yellow Pencil Dress, ASOS, $83; Yellow Slingback Heels, NINE WEST, $85; Gray and Yellow Colorblock Sweater, SANCTUARY, $59; Yellow Satchel Bag, PIERRE DARRE', $69
9. Cognac
It would be a mistake to call this brown. It's not brown. I mean, it's like brown, but it's got a little lavender in it or something. If anything it's sort of like the color of dirty Silly Putty, but, you know, chic.

ABOUT COOK & HENRIKSEN CHIROPRACTIC in Hudson, Wi
Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care and the elimination of subluxations (or misalignments) of the spine. These misalignments put stress on your nerve and energy systems, which in turn can have many consequences. Ultimately, this stress diminishes your body's ability to express life and health.
Many people understand that chiropractic care can help with many symptoms. However, it's not just limited to lower back pain and headaches. By removing the subluxations, your body is able to express life the way it was intended---vibrant and full of health.
As you are adjusted, the brain, nerve, and energy system improves and we start to function the way we were intended to (awesome for our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health). Come see what chiropractic can do for you!
With offices in Chippewa Falls, Cadott, and Hudson we are assisting many families to lead vibrant lives!
Here is what a few others have experienced...
Dave says: "I literally hobbled into Dr. Shelby's office unable to stand up straight. After following her direct advice and being consistent about making visits, I am feeling 20 years younger. I'm able to play the drums again, and more accurately (not better :)). I'm able to play with my kids again and I've been able to get back into exercise. My attitude has improved and I cannot begin to describe all the areas in my life that have benefited from that [attitude change]. Making a commitment to my treatment plan with Dr. Shelby is one of the best choices and greatest gifts I've ever given myself."
Betty says: "I have been a chiropractic patient for a few years now, and have noticed major changes in the health of my back. A feeling of increased coordination happens after my adjustments. My acid reflux has almost disappeared completely after receiving chiropractic care, too! I also noticed improvements with my fallen arches. In my opinion, everyone should consult their chiropractor before going to their medical doctor. The personnel at this office are very caring; they make you feel like family! (They also have dogs that visit the office that are so sweet!)"
Kimberleigh says: "I love everything about Cook & Henriksen Chiropractic. Dr. Shelby saved my pregnancy-I could barely walk before she started adjusting me in my third trimester. She was there for me during labor too! And now, she adjusts my entire family, including when my baby was 2 days old! It's great! When you walk into Cook & Henriksen, you are always put at ease by Taylor and Dr. Shelby. Both ladies always have smiles on their faces and would bend over backwards for you. It's a truly great experience and I'm always recommending them to everyone!"
Danielle says: "When I first started seeing Dr. Shelby I didn't realize just how uncomfortable I was feeling. After just a few adjustments I could feel a difference. I originally started seeing Dr. Shelby for help with sinus congestion- my sinuses would drain after she did just 1 crack! Eventually, Dr. Shelby referred me to Angela (of Better Wellness) who helped me determine my allergens and come up with a game plan on how to treat and eradicate. Aside from being an expert in her field- the woman has been to more chiro conferences, seminars, and continuing education training that I can even count in the year I've been seeing her! What sets Dr. Shelby apart from any other healthcare provider I've been to is that she genuinely cares about me and my overall health. She takes the time each appointment to check in and see how I'm doing as a person. She asks questions to determine what's going on and not only treats my symptoms but is dedicated to getting down to the cause and finding a solution for me. Dr. Shelby's positive and calming attitude is contagious and I always feel better after seeing her. I've recommended Dr. Shelby to my friends and family and will continue to do so!"

Melana Rosin joined our team in June 2017 as our CA and has greatly enjoyed getting to know the awesome patients we have in our office! She grew up in Duluth, MN and is a graduate of UW-River Falls with a degree in Psychology.
As a patient to chiropractic, she has seen, felt, and encouraged positive changes within her own life. She is continually amazed with how well the body responds to each adjustment, and she can't wait to continue to turn her light on! :)
Away from the office, she enjoys playing in co-ed soccer year-round, running, and exploring hiking trails on the weekends. If you're looking for a friend to be active with, she's your girl! :) Otherwise, you can find her adventuring with her closest friends.

summer in the lakes
emma lamb
Yup, once you get into the heart of The Lake District that's about all you're going to see - and it couldn't be more perfect! Of course you have to be able to brave driving the piddly little roads you need to travel on to get there - barely wider than regular single lanes but with two way traffic, no white lines to mark your territory and only occasional 'passing places'! It's a wee bit of a shock to the system for city drivers and non-driving city passengers I can tell you!
But my Man did a sterling job getting us to Crummock Water and Buttermere during our wee summer visit. He tailed a local bus on the way there knowing that sticking to it like glue would get us safe passage to where we wanted to be and it did, phew! All we had to do when we got there was hope for a little sunshine, admire the view and dip our toes and wee paws in the water. It turned out to be the most perfect day! Oh and on the way back my Man drove like a Lake District pro, no fear!
Did I mention super cute sheep!? These are possibly the best sheep I think I've ever seen! I so need a yarn in these colours, how amazing would that be!?

Climate Action
As I was walking through the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus in November of 2014, a glimmer of sweat dripped down my arm. It was 85ºF that day. As an Oregonian, used to cold, crisp November days, this seemed outrageous. In that moment, I realized California was in the midst of a severe drought and I knew that there was a way I could help.
I began studying climate change, how it is communicated, and how artists have created work that engages viewers on the topic. In February of 2015, I was granted the Carbon Neutrality Initiative (CNI) Communications and Student Engagement Fellowship at UCI. Through this fellowship, I discovered many tools used to communicate climate change, and how important it is to make information understandable and easily accessible to the public. There have been many disputes over climate change, but the science is real, and it is the reality that we and future generations must tackle. It is our duty to keep conversations going, and to take action on the issues affecting the future of the Earth. As a CNI Fellow, I organized and co-produced the Inaugural UCI Earth Week Artists Showcase. This event included painters, photographers, poets, musicians, and dancers who were all dedicated to creating work regarding our environment. In July of 2015, I presented a poster illustrating my work as a CNI Fellow at the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC) in San Francisco. That summer I also began working for Know Tomorrow, an organization that coordinated a national day of climate action that took place on campuses across the country. I organized and produced another, larger artists showcase, which included an art gallery, performances, students sustainability organizations, and speeches by distinguished artists and scientists. The event was beautiful, and immensely empowering.
In Fall of 2015, I choreographed a work, Ma Terre, which reflected the relationship between large corporations and the natural world. This work premiered at UCI's graduate student choreographic showcase, New Slate, and it paved the way for my thesis work. Using Dance to Communicate Issues of Climate Change, my M.F.A. thesis research, examines the choreographic methods of several renowned dance artists who have created works regarding social issues. By examining their methodologies, researching the science behind climate change, deepening my understanding of climate communication, and using my own creative intuition, I developed a screendance, Notre Terre, and a live performance, Carbon Footprint: Watch Your Step. These works portray human interactions and relations with the natural world; how we manipulate nature, how we are in awe of nature, and how we are a part of nature. How we must make changes toward a sustainable future! If you are interested in viewing my thesis work in full, please contact me at: email@example.com
If you are an artist, scientist, or someone who is passionate about the Earth, please feel free to contact me. I am interested in hearing your thoughts, and discussing ideas for future collaborations and projects to reach new audiences. It's crucial that we continue to communicate the issues of climate change. Let's keep the conversation going!

Dear Etiquetteer: Okay, is it just me? My boyfriend and I were in a Restaurant/Bar, on the Bar side having drinks and dinner. A father and son came in and sat down at one of the bar side tables. Within five minutes the son receives a call from his mother. I say this because he had it on speaker phone. Just when it was beginning to annoy me, I received a call, answered and walked away to the back hall to have my conversation. When I returned ten minutes later, the son was still on his speaker phone talking to his mother. What amazed me is the father had no problem with his son subjecting 20 people IN A BAR to his conversation with his mother. I thought having to listen to one sided conversations in line at stores was bad enough. At least I eventually walk away.
Dear Phoned:
Remember phone booths? For those of you under the age of 30, phone booths were tiny compartments usually no bigger than a shower stall containing a pay phone, a phone book, and a tiny bench behind a bi-fold door. Etiquetteer thinks it's high time to bring them back, but without the pay phone. Clearly enough people are wandering around inflicting their private lives on us at full volume over their cell phones that every bar and restaurant could use one or two.
Etiquetteer cannot say enough - and should not have to say to begin with - that if you're going out with people, be with those people, and not with people at the other end of a device. Now Life does intervene - even Etiquetteer understands this - but unavoidable interruptions need to be kept to a minimum. Etiquetteer prevents them altogether by turning a cell phone OFF. If that isn't an option, one can at least let nonessential calls (e.g. someone you don't think will be calling from the hospital) go to voicemail.
(And so often these conversations are like one Etiquetteer had to follow unavoidably down a sidewalk over the weekend: "Mom? Can you hear me? CAN YOU HEAR ME? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? I just wanted to tell you we're on the way!" The entire conversation was not necessary. He could have just gotten there punctually and no phoning would have been required. Just because we have cell phones doesn't mean we always need them.)
Etiquetteer thanks you for removing yourself from the bar so that your own phone conversation could be held without disturbing anyone, and trusts you let your boyfriend know in advance that you might have to interrupt your time together with a call, and apologized for leaving him alone in a public place for an extended period during which time some Seductive Temptress might try to steal him away from you. Which is another good reason to limit distractions from Absent Friends . . .

Last week Holly from June Cleaver Nirvana and BurbMom invited me and several other bloggers to attend a cooking demonstration at the Viking Cooking School and sponsored by the Texas Beef Council. Since I love Texas and cooking so much, all Holly needed to say was Texas and food and I was in!
There we got to listen to Angela Lemond, a registered and licensed dietitian, give us healthy cooking and eating tips for our families, as well as tell us how lean beef is greater in protein ounce for ounce than other high protein meatless options such as black beans and tofu. Which is totally why I wore my new "I Heart Lean Beef" apron all the way back home and showed it off to my two vegetarian brothers-in-law. I also offered to give them my new "I Heart Beef" tote bag, but neither one of them took me up on my offer.
Next up was the highly esteemed Chef Richard Chamberlain of Chamberlain's Steak and Chop House in Dallas, as well as Chamberlain's Fish Market Grill also in Dallas, Texas, who gave us an informative and fun cooking demonstration. We got to try two dishes he prepared, my favorite being the Beef Roast with Maple Sweet Potatoes, Oprah style. Well sort of Oprah style, because if she'd been there we'd be getting new cars too. Hey, but I got a meat thermometer!
Later we tried out some of Chef Chamberlain's beef recipes from his cookbook, The Healthy Beef Cookbook. My favorites were the Tenderloin, Cranberry, and Pear Salad as well as the Farmer's Market Vegetable, Beef, and Brown Rice Salad. Another delicious recipe from Chef Chamberlain's cookbook is the Mojo Beef Kabobs. Now a little education here: "Mojo" is pronounced Mo-Hoe. Trust me. I was corrected by Chef Chamberlain who told me it wasn't pronounced like something Austin Powers would say.
Tips for Cooking Beef from Chef Chamberlain:
- Start with cold meat and a hot pan (oiled pan should be slightly smoking).
- Always preheat the oven or grill.
- Use a meat thermometer to gauge for doneness. Remember, meat continues to rise in temperature once removed from the heat source, so if you want medium rare (about 140-5 F), then stop cooking at 130ish F.
- It's totally okay to flip the cutting board (okay, so this is what he did, and not what he said).
- There are three grades of meat: Premium which accounts for 1-3% of all meat and is the most expensive but best quality and also highest in monounsaturated fat; Choice which is the middle grade but still good quality and leaner than premium; Select which is the lowest grade but leanest.
- It is hard to go wrong with tenderloin. Tenderloin is always tender almost anywhere you buy it. Even Wally World.
- Trim outer fat from meat–it is highest in saturated fat.
- You can peek, but only turn ONCE!
- You can peek, but only turn ONCE!
- You can peek, but only turn ONCE! (Men, quick checking the meat!) (That means on the grill too.)
I had a great time at the Viking Cooking School and with friends and fellow bloggers such as Amy from Living Locurto and I Heart Faces, Holly from June Cleaver Nirvana, Business 2 Blogger, and Burbmom, Shauna from Burbmom and Business 2 Blogger, Arena from The Nerd's Wife, and Jamie from Totally the Bomb, as well as many others.
Here's some more food shots from our fun day together:
Stayed tuned next week for a fabulous give away including a signed copy of Chef Chamberlain's The Healthy Beef Cookbook and a few other goodies from the Texas Beef Council right here on Screwed Up Texan. That means if you haven't updated the new feed in your reader, then do so now so you don't miss out on anything! I know all y'all (men and women) are going to love it!
In the meantime, go make your vegetarian friends and family all jealous and cook beef tonight. In fact, the Beef Pot Roast with Maple Sweet Potatoes and Cider Gravy was so good that I caught my husband's vegetarian brother sneaking bites from the pan last night.

text: The developer said "we are really closed on the pricing".... I think my offer is it ! He wants to setup a in person meeting (instead of going through the seller and the buyer brokers) to discuss it. Part of the question is what exactly do I don't want him to do if I just wanted the unit in shell state. That should save him some money. So let's meet tomorrow and see what happens. Meanwhile a few other interesting units came on the market today as well. Funny thing is that the prices are all over the place, i.e. varied too much. The market seems like is still not rational. A side note -- Since I have basically commited to using MovableType, a great product, I just made it official. Donated my $45 and now I am on their donor list and also are pinging them with my updates, so this site will be on their "recently updated" list. Hello traffic.... (yeah right).

He attributed his wins to his experiences racing in the desert, which made him a natural for off-road racing, dirt tracks, and especially TT races. Eddie posted his first national victory in 1965 at the Peoria TT. The following year, he won back-to-back nationals at Ascot Park and Castle Rock. His final national victory was in 1970 at the Santa Fe Speedway TT. After retiring from Pro racing, he became a leading stunt rider in the film industry and later turned his interest to vintage racing and founded the West Coast Vintage Dirt Track Series.

See what our customers have to say about working with MediaMate.
It is always a pleasure to work with MediaMate. I receive excellent customer service and I find it easy to get a hold of my account executive, the person I work most closely with. I am looking forward to continuing Shippensburg's partnership with MediaMate to reach new students in the coming years.
Working with MediaMate makes advertising to the college newspaper market incredibly easy. The service is efficient, the staff is helpful, and their attention to detail is impressive.
With other newspapers, sending them an email was like tossing a rock into the void; responses were few and far between. But with MediaMate, I knew I would receive an answer the same day from a friendly, knowledgable representative. I wish every school newspaper took advantage of their service.
Marie Pierce, Vice President of MediaMate, was able to provide valuable statistics on our sponsored tweets [with The Lantern] to reveal a favorable level of engagement and impressions. MediaMate was very easy to work with in regards to organizing our campaign, and we look forward to furthering our working relationship with the company as it relates to promoting our events in the future!
On behalf of myself and our entire team at The Princeton Review of Ohio, I would like to thank the staff at MediaMate for their efforts in promoting the Review's recent programming. We had a tremendous turn out for our Test Fest event at Ohio State University, in large part due to the outreach made available through the school newspaper's sponsored Twitter campaign. I look forward to working with this company again in the future.
MediaMate's staff is professional and friendly. They make the advertisement placement process simple for busy, higher education Communications professionals.
I have found that MediaMate brings a great deal of professionalism on behalf of clients looking to reach the college student audience. Production, closing dates, rates and audience data is provided in a timely manner, making it easy to execute a buy for a college newspaper. The staff at MediaMate are always accessible for questions, and provide timely reminders regarding ad closing dates, so that ads are never missed!
We really appreciate the partnership we've created with MediaMate. They have helped us establish a strong connection with the students at our local universities. Amanda, the Vice President at MediaMate, and her entire team have helped us organize successful activation on various campuses. It is because of this partnership that we've been able to strengthen the reputation of every brand we work with throughout Southern California.
I love working with MediaMate. They are always courteous, promptly reply to any email or phone call, and they work extremely hard to make sure that all of our advertisements run as scheduled.
MediaMate is SO easy to work with. It is always such a pleasure to do business with them!
Thank you for listening to your customers - keep up the outstanding work!
MediaMate is an excellent company. They are very helpful and efficient. Highly recommend!
A pleasure to do business with — thank you!
MediaMate is great company to partner with on variety of different business-related events.

|Pic was taken with flash to show the twinkliness!
|Here is a shot in natural lighting
Here is the link for the Mattese Elite Star Powder (what a mouthfull!!!) My pigment looks nothing like the pic on the site. I would consider it a dupe for MAC Club or Blue Brown pigment, or Too Faced Label Whore. I've come to the realization that I obviously collect shadows/pigments that are reddish brown but have a blue/green highlight. Looking through my stash, I have at least four different products that fit that description. Would I ever consider parting with any of them? HELL NO!!!

The woman who found the jewels paid just 50 cents for them, and shocked everyone by returning them to the store.
When Loretta Simms paid 50 cents for a box of Q-tips at a thrift store last week, she had no idea of the bargain she had just gotten.
Upon opening the box of cotton swabs, which she intended to use to clean her windows, she realized that there was something else besides Q-tips in it – over $1,000 worth of jewelry.
"They say you can't find good finds at a thrift shop and I say, 'Hey, I sure did,'" Simms said.
The jewels – eight rings set with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, including a diamond engagement ring, and a string of authentic pearls – are valued at roughly $1,800.
Though most people would be floored by the deal they'd just scored, and likely consider it a day well spent at the thrift shop, Simms shocked the owners of the Cowichan Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store by bringing it all back.
"I just felt it wasn't for me," Simms said. "Meant for me to find and bring back, but not for me."
The staff at the shop said that it was "wonderful" and "astounding" that she had returned all eight nine pieces, and were shocked that they hadn't noticed them before she bought them.
"I just took it for granted that they were Q-tips and put them out on the shelf," said shop director Arlene Cristofoli of the box that Simms had paid less than a dollar for. "She paid 50 cents for eight rings and a string of pearls."
According to the shop, which donates its proceeds to the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan, B.C., the jewelry had originally been donated by a foreign man, who had donated them all from his late sister's private collection. Simms said she wanted to be sure the pieces sold for a higher price, to help more patients.
After being returned, all of the pieces were put back up for sale, though, of course, at more reasonable prices.

3D Print on demand with UPSPosted by Cabe Atwell in 3D Printing on Jun 21, 2016 4:50:00 PM
3D Printing will be available at various UPS Store locations (Photo via Fast Radius & UPS)
Ever wanted something 3D printed but don't have the money to shell out for a GOOD in home machine? Or maybe there are no 3D printing services close by (like a hackerspace or some person with a printer)? With this technology on the rise, it's in-demand and UPS is here to answer the call. The delivery company recently announced plans to launch a full-scale on-demand 3D printing manufacturing network. The service will be made available in more than 60 UPS Store locations around the U.S. Starting this year and rolling into 2017.
For this new service, UPS teamed up with the On Demand Production Platform and 3D printing factory from Fast Radius, which is a provider of on-demand part manufacturing. In addition to this, the company will also collaborate with SAP for an end-to-end industrial offering that mixes SAP's supply chain offerings with UPS' on-demand manufacturing solution and global logistics network to make the process simpler. SAP and UPS teaming up also allows for manufacturing companies of different sizes to access on-demand features easily.
"UPS is a leader in bringing industrial-strength 3D printing to reality. By building this disruptive technology into our supply chain models, we also bring new value to our manufacturing customers of all sizes," said Stan Deans, president, UPS Global Distribution & Logistics. "Additive manufacturing technology is still developing rapidly so 'manufacturing as a service' is a smart approach for many companies."
So how does it work? Users visit the Fast Radius website to put in 3D printing orders, which will then be transferred to the closest 3D manufacturing or UPS Store based on the speed, geography, and product quality needed. Depending on the size of the order, some can be completed and shipped out the same day. If you're not in the U.S. There's no problem. The company said they'll take global orders as well. The new service will have big benefits for businesses looking to utilize 3D printing including, manufacturers who want to reduce inventory for slow moving parts, high quality rapid prototypes delivered quickly, and cutting down costs for manufacturers with short production runs.
Though many may not know it The UPS Store has been offering 3D printing services in certain locations since 2013, but not on such a wide scale. This made them the first retailer to make 3D printing service available in store. "Connecting all The UPS Store locations into a larger network provides more opportunity for new customers to access our printers and gives customers added flexibility to match their requirements with the appropriate UPS location," said Daniel Remba, Small Business Technology Leader for The UPS Store, Inc.
With UPS getting in on the 3D printing game it should be no time til we see other retailers like Office Depot, FedEx, and even Kinkos offering their own services. The more accessible the technology is, the better.
If you don't know, I 3D printed a Spherical Raspberry Pi Case in a past project. I could have used a local option.

Acts 4:23-31 English Standard Version Anglicised (ESVUK)
The Believers Pray for Boldness
23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[a] said by the Holy Spirit,
"'Why did the Gentiles rage,
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants[c] to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Just Add Water is looking for help in renaming the Abe's Oddysee remake that it has cooking. Originally titled Abe's Oddysee HD, the studio felt the name too bland and unrepresentative of the fact that this is a full-on reworking as opposed to a simple upscaling job. It's asked the fans for help.
Over on this page, you can create your own suggestion for a name, such as Jonathan Holmes' Warty Member or Man I'd Really Love To Give Jonathan Holmes My Wetness. I personally suggested Abe's Oddysee Reprocessed because it keeps the meat theme and I actually kind of want to win this.
Jonathan Holmes And The Magic Dildo was my second choice, though.

a couple of pics of finished front end, redone amprack and SE enclosure
a couple of pics of finished front end, redone amprack and SE enclosure
Test enclosure for dual JBL W15 GTI
plans for new enclosure
Wow very nicely done!
The door pods look great! You do great Fiberglass work, how do you get it so smooth like that.
Some parts of the doorpods and pillars were done with templates, whwre this wasnt possible I just take extra caution to apply fiberglass even trough all the surface, and then normally filler put over everything and sanded down smooth. It helps to work with filler when it is still in green stage - it is MUCH easier and faster to sand it, not much dust,.... and of course applyed primer (twice) and wet sanded up to 1500-2000 grit
I can do that, but tbh, it is nothing too special, the most important is the plan on execution and how you want to look at the end. Important is how you do your FG layup - it should be without air bubbles and to use only the amount of resin that is needed to soak matte truly good. Then there are some tricks that make everything easier - to cut excess portions with olfa knife before it cures, the use of Aluminium tape to get desired shape, use of decoupling wax, use of filler and sanding it in green stage and similar and to evaluate how much resine is needed/how much you can use before it start to gel....
you can look for additional pics of the build on my FB account - it is public so you can see all the pics, but you will need to scroll down at least a year back.....
If you're up to writing something up, that would be awesome and a great resource for others who are learning.
We need more how-tos, with tricks to do the job right. I've always just kind of winged it when I've done fiberglass, and I know there are better ways to do it.
You should have access to the article section, let me know if you can't post there.
