It I about time I started writing stuff down. Sadly I missed the last few weeks of the APC this year and dropped in the rankings. I had grand plans to finish lots of different projects, but in the end got sidetracked with a number of new clients at work that required travel. Thankfully I did manage to close off a couple of projects and start the long awaited terrain project. The full gallery of bits and pieces can be found on my Google Photos.
The plus side to this year is that I have already achieved two of my secret goals. The first was to get one of my figures up on the GW main site. You can still see it there along side the official Great Unclean One images :D
The second was to actually enter a painting competition in my local GW. Just after the end of APC they ran a competition where everyone had to paint the special edition terminator captain. I was the only one that did any updates to the figure, by including the Deathwatch pad and icon on the Iron Halo.
I'm very pleased to say that he came in second place, much to the slight disgust (I'm sure) of all the regulars as I only ever go in to buy paint and leave straight away. They must have been "Who is this guy and why is he entering our competition?!" The guy who came in first had done some very very smooth transitions on the armour and some freehand iconography, so I'm not surprised he came in first. People did assume the shoulder pad on mine was a transfer though, which is a nice compliment. I wasn't convinced the red circle was quite good enough, which is why there are scratches and chips all over it.
Next self-challenge is to enter more of the local competitions and improve the smoothness of the painting a bit more.

Awesome well done.ReplyDelete
Excellent painting, love the building of color in the shapes of the models.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! These two were fun to paint in more detail, rather than trying to get things finished for the challengeDelete

text: It's hard to believe that de la PeÑa (Margins, 1992) tries to work terms like ""multicultural,"" ""racist,"" and ""homophobic"" onto almost every page, but she does in this wearying preachy novel. De la PeÑa seems to think that the mere act of using words like ""dyke"" or ""tits and clits,"" and dropping concepts like AIDS, homophobia, sexual preference, racial discrimination, and solo sex into everyday conversation is groundbreaking when, in fact, it's all been done many times before. Her efforts would have been better spent on a more convincing narrative and stronger writing. Somehow, in de la PeÑa's world, novels are meant to send a message -- the ""right"" message. And the story? Well...it's not so important. So we're stuck watching the mini-dramas of four queer Chicanas who mix music and social commentary in a singing group called the Latin Satins. Like: Will the celibate songwriter ever stop masturbating over her well-worn volume of lesbian erotica and actually get a real lover? (Of course. In fact, the stranger she sees across a lagoon one morning at the beginning of the book, the first woman she's attracted to since breaking up with her closeted ex two years before, turns out to be the same friend-of-a-friend trying to get a date with her throughout the story.) Or: Will the lead singer change her skirt-chasing ways to keep a stormy new affair with the bisexual backup singer from causing turmoil in the group? (Not an issue, since the backup singer's black rapper boyfriend comes home to reclaim her and their biracial daughter.) And don't expect any more creativity from the lyrics. Other than the sardonic ""Bushwhacker,"" it's just more of ""We must unite to write, create/Abolish stereotypes, fight hate."" A broken record.

Ballpark Digest honored Spirit Communications Park as its 2016 Ballpark of the Year on Tuesday. The home of the Columbia Fireflies – the New York Mets' South Atlantic League affiliate – was selected as the top park across Minor League Baseball nationally for 2016. Representatives from Ballpark Digest will be on hand for Columbia's home game against the Greensboro Grasshoppers on Thursday, August 11, to present the award to the Fireflies and representatives from the city of Columbia and the ballpark development team.
To commemorate this honor for Spirit Communications Park, the Fireflies will hold a special pre-game ceremony, and will distribute commemorative posters to the first 2,500 fans in attendance at the August 11th ballgame. This full-sized poster will be suitable for framing.
"Spirit Communications Park is not only our Ballpark of the Year, it's also one of the best ballparks opened in the last decade," said Ballpark Digest Publisher Kevin Reichard. "The ballpark is the centerpiece of serious economic development in Columbia, and an already-great fan experience should only improve once the BullStreet development advances."
Groundbreaking for Spirit Communications Park was on January 6, 2015, and the multi-use park hosted its first baseball game on April 14, 2016 in front of a sellout crowd of 9,077. On July 5 – a day after welcoming a record 9,228 fans into the park for Independence Day baseball – Spirit Communications Park broke the single-season attendance record for any professional baseball team in Columbia's storied history. To date, 181,673 fans have passed through the park's gates for Fireflies games; an additional 10,000+ people have also attended community and private events at the ballpark.
"We are thrilled to receive this recognition from one of the leading publications in our industry, Ballpark Digest," said Jason Freier, managing owner of the Fireflies. "Spirit Communications Park is a beautiful facility, provides an experience that is second to none and has become a true gathering place for the citizens of Columbia. We look forward to decades of affordable family friendly entertainment and building on the relationship with our fans and our community."
"We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our great partners—our builders, CCEB Venture Partners; Populous, the lead designer for the ballpark; Spirit Communications, our naming rights partner; Hughes Development; and, of course, the city of Columbia," added Freier.
Spirit Communications Park is home to much more than just baseball. In the few short months since its opening, the state of the art facility has hosted church and community gatherings, business meetings, charity events and festivals. On October 22, Spirit Communications Park will host the Palmetto Health Foundation's Walk for Life and Famously Hot Pink Half Marathon, 5K and 10K – expected to have upwards of 10,000 participants. It will also play host to numerous concerts, high school and college baseball, football and soccer games.
"We are honored that Spirit Communications Park was selected for this tremendous distinction," said Team President John Katz. "We're delighted to share this award with our wonderful community who make the atmosphere at Spirit Communications Park one of the best in all of Minor League Baseball. With the imminent growth of the Commons at BullStreet, the ballpark will continue to be a true entertainment destination for our community and for out-of-town guests."
With the recent announcement of a 10-screen luxury cinema, the Fireflies will have new neighbors in the not-too-distant future. A host of retail, residential and commercial space will also surround the venue in the years to come.
"This is classic, family-friendly entertainment," said Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin about the park. "To see the people of Columbia respond so overwhelmingly to this is phenomenal for our great city. I've seen firsthand the sheer delight on people's faces as they enter the park and realize this is their stadium, this is their park."
"Spirit Communications Park perfectly exemplifies what we are creating at BullStreet: a world-class experience for all of Columbia to enjoy," said Bob Hughes, CEO of Hughes Development. "This prestigious award is the latest indication that we are well on our way. Once completed, Spirit Communications Park will be in the heart of a new district that welcomes people from all walks of life to enjoy the best of South Carolina. We are ahead of our 20-year build-out schedule and are excited about what's next."
"Spirit Communications is proud to have our name on this magnificent ballpark," said Bob Keane, President and CEO of Spirit Communications. "The collaborative efforts showed a real focus on teamwork, which allows us to be one of the most technologically-advanced ballparks in the country."

Recently word has reached me that there's been some Metaphysical busybody complaining to a few folks on FB about my pricing & Spiritual methodology. I'd like to take a moment to address this horseshit once and for all.
The world of the Occult is vast and filled with all manner of Spirits both familiar and alien. What you deal with in grimoires is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, people. Further there are many paths and even within those paths there are often many alternatives to dealing with situations and problems. Since no two situations are truly alike, then no two prescriptions are alike - well unless you're either Hoodoo or Wiccan because they seem to use the same thing for everyone.
No one gets to sit in judgment over anyone else for how you decide or not decide to take on a new client; no one gets to decide how you make that determination; no one but you gets to decide which Spirits to call upon for aid; no one but you gets to determine which method you may choose to use for your client; and no one but you gets to tell a client how much you want for the work.
There is a huge disparity out there among practitioners about pricing. Why? Well first off some are bound within their own beliefs and traditions what they charge for their time and ingredients. Some are not allowed to charge, others may be like I once was which was allowed to charge for ingredients but not my time. Others are free to charge whatever they want.
When a potential client comes to me, s/he may opt to tell me they have had others work on their problem. I may ask what types of others and often they'll tell me they've had psychics, Wiccans, Santeria, Palo, Vodu, Healers, Shamans and so on. Typically I do not ask WHO specifically because it's none of my business and secondly I don't care who else has done X for the client.
Unlike a lot of folks, I have been trained. Well trained. I paid dearly for my training too in cash as well as other ways. Many people spend their spare cash and free time pursuing everything from painting to playing instruments to hiking to watching TV. I spent an inordinate amount of time reading, taking notes, practicing, experimenting and summoning since 1987. Why? Not because I wanted to be good at it but because I wanted to be DAMN GOOD at it! A lot of you chose to spend your money & time on concerts, movie tickets, junk foods, cigarettes, beer & liquor bashes, weed and so on. Who the fuck are you to judge me? Seriously? You have gall!
I don't give a damn if you think I'm "believing my own marketing" or "he believes his own mythology". You're welcome to believe the moon is made of green cheese if you wish. You are not ME so where would you or anyone get off standing in judgment over me? Who died and left you King Shit of Turd Island? You haven't even walked a mile in my moccasins!
And another thing, if I give a game plan to a client with a price, that is not for YOU nor anyone else to evaluate. Hello? I realize some potential clients may be angry at what I charge which is typically begins at $1,000 USD and you know what? That's what I feel MY TIME IS WORTH! If you want to be one of those Hoodoo or McWiccans who can't charge anything near that, then what right do you have to question my prices?
Further that potential client was given this information in confidence - I'm keeping his/her ID and problems in confidence! So if the potential client shares with you what I gave to him/her in confidence, what does that tell you about the would be client? For one they're untrustworthy, for another they are angry over price. And we all know price is relative.
Hell, I have often stated that there are people who come to me that rather than say no to, I simply give them an inflated price and some BS idea and hope they just go away. Most do. None have ever taken me up on my wild offers like that. None. In fact, I turn down more business than I take on. Why? My own reasons but suffice to say, I do the divination, talk with my Spirits and follow their advice. If the Spirits say no, then I'm not going to do it no matter how much you offer and I've had a few folks really try to sweeten the offer after I said no.
You do not see me running around on social media bitching bout what Mary McWiccan charges or doesn't for her services. Nor should I nor anyone else. Why not? Because it's nobodies damn business! Don't you have a life of your own to worry about? Clean up your own backyard, dufus. Make your life exemplary for once and quite trying to compare yourself to others.
Some of y'all don't value your free time whereas I do mine. BIG DIFFERENCE right there! Even you African Religious Systems devotees sometimes make much ado about pricing and I ask who the hell died and crowned you the one all should bow before? Must we run our prices through you first? You feel you're that self important? Really? How do you walk with balls/ovaries so huge?
A good number of you know exactly what I'm talking about here. You tire of the nosey neighbors trying to hone in and tell you how much you should charge or not charge. Listen, if you feel like working for free, BE MY GUEST! I will send everyone who comes to me to YOU so you can do all the free work you want to do for them! That'll allow me my free time again to practice some things for myself and experiment with some new formulas I've created.
This is Sorcery folks, not math. There's nothing precise or logical about it. Sometimes my Spirits will tell me to use things that make no logical sense and when I listen to them, the working works. It's when I don't listen to my spirits and instead try to do it logically my way that things can go wonky.
I don't comment on how much a Wiccan should sell her bottled oils for. I sell mine very sharply in price. It's my choice to do so and the Wiccan's choice to charge what she wants. You as Hoodoo, Houngan/Manbo, Ceremonial Magician, Wiccan/Witch, don't get to comment on the pricing. I do things to my oils most of you do not. *shrugs* Thus I charge more. Don't like that I can get five times the price you can? Tough!
And I don't always work with standard Spirits either. Most of you are grimoire enlightened and while I sometimes may summon one of those Spirits, I have a large variety of Spirits - some you have never heard of - to call on for aid. Just like some of the cursing oil recipes smell lovely and some of the healing oil recipes stink to high heaven, so too can dangerous Spirits do benevolent work. Too many of you talk about going beyond implied social boundaries and yet you pontificate on Spirits as if these boundaries are not arbitrary. Ugh. Make up your bloody mind!
But what I think is at the heart here is jealousy. Pure and simple. The whiner is obviously not accomplished and someone who fancies themselves to be my equal. Right. Look dimwit, none of us are equal in ability because we're all at different levels based on how much we've worked, studied and practiced. I chose to spend more time doing this sort of work than you did. Doubt me? Ask my ex-wife about how much time I spent in my temple instead of with the family. Yes that was a bone of contention with her and in hindsight perhaps I was thickheaded to do that but I wanted to break through certain barriers and develop myself, my skills, and work with Spirits most of you don't give a rat's ass about.
When I started all of this, I was in college and worked a p/t job. I had a very inexpensive apartment ($180/month) in 1988 and kept my bills low - i.e. no car payments, insurance, habits to feed, and etc. Thus I'd save up enough bread to allow me to take up to 6 mos off from work so I could just go to school and devote all of my spare time not spent in school work to the pursuit of Sorcery. How many of you can say you did that?
My path is my own. It is not your path. You do not get to evaluate me - what I do, how I do it, who I do it for or what I charge to do it. Got that? My motivations are my own. My machinations are my own. I am free because I do what I want to do without anyone standing over me and looking down at me. No one tells me what to do.
I'm NOT WICCAN. I am a Sorcerer, bitch, deal with it!

Kitsune Tabloid - mixed by Digitalism
Anybody else got this? It's ace! Pretty much spot on to my tastes. It's a couple of months old now, but I'd recommend seeking it out if you like a good mix album
I've got it...took a while to win me over but it's got a few top moments on there. Shame about the inclusion of Calvin Harris, who is a grade A twat.
thought this was a KT Tunstall thread
curse these hungover eyes!
KT Tunstall mixed with Kitsune
amazing scenes
boo hiss etc
More people should listen to this album

Direct Mail Cards
IdeaGram - Direct Response Cards
Our IdeaGrams are multi-layered direct response cards that use clean release or pressure sensitive coatings to yield built-in BRCs (business reply cards), leave behind promotional stickers or peel up panels to reveal hidden information about the offering. They invite the recipient to participate and engage in a positive action - a response. They are perfect for building traffic to a retail operation or building customer loyalty by adding discount or frequent buyer cards to the design. The card is fully printed, imaged with an outgoing address, sorted and batched all in one pass.
Loyalty Cards - POS
Coupon Cards - POS (point of sale)
For those retail establishments that want to distribute loyalty cards on a direct basis - when a customer is already in their outlet - Bertek has the perfect solution. Our Coupon Cards are made of two plies of paper board stock that are laminated together by pressure sensitive adhesive. One ply is die-cut to create removable stickers that can subsequently be used as discount coupons. Repeat business is the goal with these cards as it holds up to 10 coupons that are used one visit at a time. The individually die cut coupons provide the opportunity to provide multiple discount offerings to be used repeat visits. Although the most common size for this product is a CR-80 (credit card size), our coupon cards can be die-cut in many other shapes. Please consult with one of our sales representatives for other options.
Catalog Page Marking Tabs
Cat-Tabs are a convenient value-added pressure sensitive construction that allows catalogers to insert page marking tabs into their catalogs. They are available in either a perfect-bound or saddle-stitched format. Cat-Tabs are based on our patented design that utilizes our one-pass printing and adhesive coating technology. Each tab is printed and then coated with an ultra-removable adhesive that allows the recipient of the catalog to mark their favorite pages. Catalog page markers have been known to add shelf life to a catalog - as people are less apt to throw out a catalog that has been marked with a page marker. They are also a convenient tool for the customer using the catalog - as they stream line the ordering process since they can find their desired purchases more easily. Contact a Bertek sales representative for more details.
Clean Release Cards - On Rolls
Clean Release Cards
Bertek excels in providing Clean Release Laser Cards to meet the specific needs of your laser card/form combinations. In this process, we utilize a clear plastic coupon film that firmly anchors the laser card to the form so that it will easily process through your laser printer. Once the card is removed from the form, only a clear plastic film remains - allowing the form to be retained as a file copy if required. Clean Release cards are also recommended for use in laser printers that have intricate paper-feed paths. We can affix as little as one card to as many as 8 cards on the form. We use a 28# MOCR bond as the carrier (form) which results in a very dimensionally stable product for use in most laser printers. The card material itself is a 7mil to 7.5mil laser quality white polyester. We have varying grades of polyester to meet your application needs and your budget. If desired, an 8pt paper board card stock may be used in lieu of our white polyester. These are ideal for temporary ID cards or promotional offers. Our Clean Release Laser Cards are perfect for processing membership renewals and eliminates the need to match the printed card to the membership renewal letter - since both are imaged at the same time. They also process easily through most types of insertion equipment. We recommend you have knowledge of both the laser printer and the equipment through which the Clean Release Laser Card/Form will be processed.

Give Blood
Give Blood. It always burns me up when the blood drive hits campus. The folks at the little table always ask me to participate, and I always have to say "Sorry, I'm not allowed to."
Last year at IU, I put together a petition drive protesting blood donation policies. That was in super-liberal Bloomington. Here in ultra-conservative Kirksville, I don't think it's even worth trying to collect signatures.

Long Island's Fentanyl Addiction Problem
Last month two dozen Long Island residents were arrested on various charges related to powerful opioid known as fentanyl. The arrests were a culmination of a 10-day-long drug sting in Suffolk County. Nearly four kilograms, an assault rifle, armor, scales and nearly $20,000 cash were seized during the notable bust that has put residents on notice regarding the newest addiction threat facing their community. Investigators believe the dealers delivered more than 3,000 bags of heroin and fentanyl per week from New York City to Long Island. Fentanyl was the drug named in Prince's overdose back in April, and has claimed countless other lives throughout the country.
What Is Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is an easily produced opioid, the potency of which exceeds that of heroin by an average of 30 to 50 percent. Like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and other prescription opioids, it is an incredibly effective resource in the treatment of severe chronic and cancer-related pain. However, it is also commonly produced by street dealers for illegal distribution. Fentanyl is extremely deadly. In 2015, the drug claimed 54 Suffolk County residents, accounting for nearly half of the all the region's opioid overdoses. It represents the latest chapter in an ongoing battle of a region that is already plagued by heroin and alcohol addiction.
What Can Be Done?
Investigators in the recent bust are still unsure as to whether or not they can, or will, levy homicide charges against some of those apprehended for their apparent involvement in 10 recent fentanyl-related overdoses in the area. It is clear, however, that a more sophisticated and streamlined combination of treatment enforcement is needed. There is more and more of an effort to tie dealers directly to overdose deaths in an effort to hold them legally accountable on more serious charges than possession or distribution. This strategy continues to be implemented on a case-by-case basis.
Fentanyl is so dangerous and addictive, that DEA agents have been instructed not to perform identification tests in the field. Even sniffing it can have serious long-term consequences.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Google's AdSense for Search has gone live on MySpace.com. Clients currently running ads on Google's Search Network are now eligible to have their ads served on MySpace.com searches for US-based traffic only.
If you opt out: and only allow your ads to appear on google.com then your ads won't display on MySpace.
I'm assuming that for the MySpace contextual inventory, you'll be able to opt out of it for your content spend on Google, right?
I need the AOL traffic because the conversions are pretty good on the PPC side. But, now that MySpace is added into the mix, I don't know if I can afford to keep opting into the search network now that MySpace is there.
I have watched typical myspace users while they are connected ..it is interesting ..it resembles a mixture of many normally conflicting drugged states ..experience in subliminal selling and imagery and sounds ..plus gamers and music and video ..would give one a good chance at exploiting the market ..to a degree as it is fragmented internally also into many overlapping communities ..it is fascinating ( as are all similar sites ) ..it is a parallel area ..the nearest thing being the online multi player gamer environments ..
access to its non public profile info ( that which one has to fill in to join ) is maybe the most valuable commodity in marketing today ..
thats not the average adwords buyer ..
It could be for them a bottomless pit in which money will dissapear without rhyme nor reason ..or it would need specialist departments of big customers setting up to deal with it ..that is not what G are offering ..and any "bundling" by G with other areas can only be veiwed as to the advertisers disadvantage ..and would appear to be designed to be that way ..
high volume that doesn't convert will ruin your campaign.
Google indexes these publicly posted requests for click fraud in their search index.
Check for yourself.
One example: Search google for 'click the Google ads' in the advanced search using the 'myspace.com' domain filter.
I personally wish to avoid social networking sites that will allow members to embed Adsense code in their pages.
It�s a shame being a publisher and seeing a lot of money leaving the advertising network which hits good publishers and it also a shame because the advertisers will get fewer sales now.
Its a losing situation on both sides of the house.

It is the same fit and shape offered by the Nike Superfly series, ensuring players familiar with the high-profile speed boot have something to compare to. From that mid-cut collar down through where a tongue would normally be, things a little different.

While the Vapor VIII was stripped back compared to the Superfly III, it is clear from Modric鈥檚 boots that Nike are changing things up a gear when it comes to the Vapor IX. The big difference is the change in the upper, gone is the smooth upper from the Vapor VIII. Instead Nike have engineered a dimpled teijin synthetic leather upper.

Cristiano Ronaldo took to the South African pitches in his new Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II from the Elite Series collection, designed with increased visibility to make it easier for playmakers to pick out a team mate on the run.

Greg Chun has been appointed as senior advisor to University of Hawaiʻi President David Lassner and UH Hilo Chancellor Marcia Sakai in overseeing the fulfillment of the responsibilities of the entire UH System on Greg Chun, Maunakea. Chun is a UH Mānoa faculty member whose work focuses on the intersection of land use, community engagement and culture. Chun also chairs the Maunakea Management Board.
"Greg is extraordinarily well qualified and prepared to help the entire university and state move forward," said Lassner in making the appointment. "Greg's new role will enable him to represent the university externally on all matters relating to Maunakea, including the many discussions of alternative models of management. At the same time, he will be able to assist the entire University of Hawaiʻi in continuing to advance what have become award-winning stewardship and management programs across all parts of the institution."
Chun is a graduate of Kamehameha Schools and has formal training as a clinical psychologist. Now residing on Hawaiʻi Island, Chun has served at the senior executive level with both Kamehameha Schools and the Parker Ranch. He has experience with restoration of historic Hawaiian sites in West Hawaiʻi and Molokaʻi, in the development of educational and cultural programming as well as Hawaiian culture and values training, and providing leadership and organizational development.
Hi Greg:
What are you willing to tell us about your intentions regarding the commercial tour operations up on Mauna Kea?
For example, are there plans to limit THEIR access to the summit? Thousand of trips, annually, are made by their buses, racking up close to $10,000,000 in sales* (estimate based on average number of buses going up to the summit every night, average number of passengers per van, and current cost per person charged by the tour companies) for the tour company operators.
Do we, the public, have to "FOIA" you and UH-H to get solid information?
Please say, "no," and be forthcoming and truthful in your sharing of information pertinent to these tour operations and any plans for how they are will be managed:
e.g. appropriate "taxes" or "fees" to benefit other organizations such as those representing Hawaii's cultural practitioners and people of Hawaiian ancestry.
Thank you.
*NOTE: When I worked up there, Rangers documented how many tour buses went up to the summit each night and how many passengers they were carrying. Hard copies were kept at the VIS. The actual numbers (and not estimates) and data is available, if you know where to look.
PLEASE share with us! It would be nice for the public (and native Hawaiians) to know the large amounts of MONEY that PRIVATE companies are making on a mountain many see as being sacred.

I'm a senior in college who struggled through weeks without a laptop thanks to ifixyouri. This company is completely terrible at communicating with its customers without an incredible amount of prodding, prioritizes "corporate" customer repairs over those which arrive before them, and ultimately failed to live up to any of their promises to repair my device, and might have even caused more harm than good in the end.
Hopefully the following essay will help steer anyone looking to get their computer fixed far, far away from these people. After spilling a small amount of tea onto the keyboard of my relatively new MacBook Air and knowing that AppleCare wouldn't save me, I looked up a third party repair company that would be able to fix water damage. Ifixyouri promised a 90% success rate and a fast turnaround time, so I placed my order online and paid extra for overnight shipping from Maine down to Florida and back. I made my purchase on January 25th, and they received my computer on January 26th.
The following six weeks were an absolute nightmare. I must have called the service line 15 times trying to get answers as to what was happening with my laptop. The following is a timeline of the events during that period. Jan 27-Feb.
3: After a few days of no email update, I called the customer service multiple times to try to get some information. Each time the representative (female, with a high voice) was nice enough (although clearly eager to only give me the bare minimum information that I asked for), checked with the technician, and let me know that the computer went through initial testing, then one round of water damage repair (unsuccessful), then another round (successful, the laptop turned on) and identification that there was something wrong with the keyboard. I asked for a timeframe on the repair, and she said it was a same day repair and would be done soon. Feb.
4: I receive a clearly copy-pasted in some section email update from the technician, who informed me that my computer was working well but needed a new keyboard, which would cost $149.99. I immediately replied and agreed to the repair and to pay the extra cost, but got no confirmation/response. Feb. 5-15: After more days of no contact, I called again for an update and was informed that they had ordered the part (something they hadn't informed me they would have to do) and that it would take 5-7 business days to arrive.
Feb. 17: I call again, and have been told that the keyboard part had arrived the previous day. I am assured the repair will be completed soon. Feb.
18-24: I have not received an update on my "one-day" repair. I call multiple times, and am informed at one point by the same customer service woman that due to a significant number of "corporate repairs" needing to be done my repair had not yet been completed. One call, I let the (different) customer service agent know that it's been more than a month of waiting and she's surprised and comments "that's a long time, you've been very patient" (I know). During one call after expressing (rather sadly/frustratedly) that I didn't understand why it was taking so long, I get transferred abruptly to speak with the technician (Steven), who tells me it should be fixed that day and that I'll receive an email when it it finished.
He assures me that outgoing testing will only take 1-2 days to check that everything with the laptop is fine, and that once my balance is paid my laptop will be sent back to me. Feb. 24: I receive an email update from the technician that my computer keyboard was fixed and had been sent to outgoing testing. Feb 25-Feb 28: No update from the company.
Mar 1: I receive an email update that my computer is ready to ship. I call the customer service number and pay my open balance an hour after I receive the email. Soon afterwards I receive a tracking number via the email (no message, just a number) that I plug into the UPS website, which tells me that despite paying $25 extra for overnight shipping, the company has printed out a Ground Service shipping label for my laptop! I frantically call the customer service line hoping that it hasn't been shipped yet -- thankfully it hasn't, but the customer service woman wasn't exactly apologetic and says "oh I must have just not noticed the note on your ticket." But the problem is fixed and I receive a new tracking number.
Mar. 2: 37 days after I sent my laptop, I receive it back in the middle of finals week. I plug it in and turn it on, and -what a surprise- the trackpad is sticky/won't click fully because the new keyboard has been installed poorly. I have long since decided at this point that I will never use ifixyouri again, so I decide I can live with it (or at least until I can get a competent local tech to look at it.) March 4: In the middle of working on a project, my laptop shuts down unexpectedly.
Thinking I had just not noticed the battery drain, I plug it in it starts again to show the battery at 68%, but as soon as I take the charging cable off it shuts down again. Something is wrong with the battery. I do just about everything known to the internet to fix/diagnose the problem (restart it, try another charging cord, download the coconutbattery app, reset the SMC, even wipe the laptop completely and reinstall OSX), but to no avail. Occasionally it will last for a few minutes without the cable, but sometimes it shuts down with the cable connected, and sometimes it just says the battery isn't connected at all.
Mar. 6: I give up. I take the old computer to a local repair shop, who after a day say it's either physical damage to the battery connection, or physical damage to the logic board - neither of which were caught during ifixyouri's "outgoing testing," and likely weren't caused by the original liquid damage. I'm leaving the country in a few weeks for my senior thesis research and decide that I just have to *** the bullet for a new laptop, because who knows what sort of new problems might come up in the future even after I have to pay for these new issues to get fixed?
March 9: My new laptop arrives. I am grateful that my tax return this year ended up being big enough that I can still pay for rent too. Thus ends a 6+ week saga with ifixyouri that got me absolutely nowhere except for $262.49 + the cost of a replacement laptop lost and a lot of wisdom gained about not trusting in companies to actually have your best interest at heart.
I've seen that ifixyouri sometimes replies to these reviews and to be completely honest, unless they're offering a full and complete refund of my repair costs, I never want to speak to them (or hear their *** customer service hold music) ever again. Anyone looking to go to them in the future would be wise to go elsewhere -- find a repair shop where you can actually talk to people face to face, and where they've retained a shred of dignity and honesty in dealing with customers.
Product or Service Mentioned: Ifixyouri Laptop Repair.
Reason of review: Damaged or defective.
Monetary Loss: $1000.
Preferred solution: Full refund.

Tyler Myers / Kelowna Rockets WHL
D-R / 6-7.25, 204 / 01-Feb-1990
Skating: 70 / Skill: 60 / Sense: 55 / Compete: 50 / Tough: 50
Strengths: Amazing skating stride for such a big player, no awkwardness at all. Long reach and good poke check is a difference-maker in the d-zone. Moves the puck well.
Weaknesses: Wild inconsistency tells us he's still quite raw. Some bust potential.
No defenceman in this draft has more upside. His peak is as a perennial Norris Trophy contender. Lots of ups and downs this season, and was downright awful at times. Best performances were at the Top Prospects Game and in the playoffs. Not a puck rusher or great PP quarterback. Is at his best when he makes disruptive play in his own end, skates it towards his own blueline and makes a short, crisp pass to a forward in the neutral zone - just keep it simple. That's all you need him to do in the NHL to be a really valuable player.
Summary: Might take until his mid-20s to reach full potential. Slight chance of becoming a complete bust, but is very much worth the risk.
Target/Want: Anywhere from 5th to 8th. I'd take him right after Schenn.

text: You have dealt with a medical problem for months, and finally feel as if you have found the right diagnosis and have a solid treatment plan in place. What happens when your prescriber or pharmacist gives you the wrong medication, dosage or instructions and the medication ends up doing more harm than good? These are referred to as medication errors and close to 1.3 million people in the United States alone are injured annually by these errors. One ideal way to minimize medication errors is to take an active role in all health care decisions made about your body, and stay informed about what each medication means to your condition.

This serialized show featured three different characters in a parody of older shows that rotated feature characters like the Sunday and Tuesday Mystery movies, Search, and Name of the Game. Host Robert Vaughn introduced the segments from his luxurious office. The three different shows were: The Searcher: A parody of various shows (such as Stingray) that featured an enigmatic and nameless loner with special skills who helps people in a jam. Each week "The Searcher" would take on a case and despite taking absurd amounts of physical abuse, would get his man. Tropical Punch: A parody of Hawaii 5-0, with Adam West as an unflappable Steve McGarrett/Jack Lord clone. 357 Marina Del Ray: A parody of 77 Sunset Strip but also of various shows partnering a black and white detective as a mismatched duo.

Boro could have extended their lead on 75 minutes when Peter Masters was fouled in the box but Saddlers keeper Dean Coleman saved Andrew Taylor's spot-kick.
Coach Proctor was pleased to win through to the fifth round, though wasn't entirely satisfied with his side's display.
He said "Although we won 2-1 we weren't ecstatic with our performance.
"Walsall went ahead through a free-kick and we spurned one or two opportunities before equalising.
"We did a lot better after half-time and by the end could have won by a bigger margin.
"We are now looking forward to playing Newcastle at our place".

A bipartisan package of key tax incentives important to manufactures has been in limbo since early this year as Congress drags its feet in extending these temporary "extenders." Like a yo-yo, these on again, off again nature of these tax provisions undermines the goal of these incentives to drive competitiveness, innovation and job growth. For example, with deferral for active financing on hold, U.S. manufacturers that provide financing for overseas sellers are penalized with a tax that their foreign competitors do not incur. And this makes it more difficult for them to provide competitive financing for potential customers. Moreover, unlike our competitors, our country has been without an R&D incentive for almost three months. This is not news to other countries. In fact, just two days ago Canada ran a half page, full color ad in the Washington Post bragging that its "…R&D incentives are among the most generous in the world."
These and other temporary tax provisions help manufacturers invest, grow and retain U.S. jobs. During an exchange last week on the floor of the Senate between the Democrat and Republican leadership of the Senate and the Finance Committee, there was rare, bipartisan agreement that the now expired tax extenders are causing uncertainty to individual and business taxpayers and should be renewed sooner rather than later. We couldn't agree more. While we wait for comprehensive tax reform, Congress should renew quickly the bipartisan-supported tax extenders that benefit manufacturers, their customers and their supply chains while spurring growth in the economy and jobs. Restoring tax certainty will go a long way to boosting our fragile economic recovery.

In this SF property report I can give you a brief overview of particular sections of the San Francisco real estate market. This information comes from fellow agents and is the most recent market analysis of SF property.
San Francisco Lakeside
We are definitely seeing more listings and the inventory is growing but still remarkably below levels to indicate a balanced market. Multiple offers prevail. One property that had been overlooked at its initial price, took a 5% price reduction and then sold with multiple offers 10% above the new price with at least 2 offers in that higher range. Over pricing…or even "right on" pricing, is continuing to prove not to be the way to get the most for your SF property.
San Francisco Lombard
The Lombard region of San Francisco is proving to be some of the most sought after SF property. After what appeared a bit of a slow down in the multiple offer frenzy, we had a tsunami of offers this week. One listing a probate drew 37 offers, all of them all cash. A pair of vacant flats yielded 21 offers. Another had 11 offers. Some deals 30-35% over. A number of agents stating that the market is slowing a little, and some flawed SF property is staying on the market longer. But open houses very active and most deals over asking with multiple offers, but in the 4-8 range, not 25 -35 like last week.
San Francisco Market
Lack of inventory and multiple offers continue to be the headline for SF property within this market. This period we saw multiple offers ranging anywhere from 2 to 15. However, we saw several homes ratified with single offers. While some buyers are shying away from the frenzy, open houses continue to be heavily attended by those that are not intimidated by this market. Of the homes that went into contract this period, all but one received multiple offers (anywhere from two to twenty two). The one property to be scooped up with a single offer was a "pocket listing". And though cash is king, buyers that need financing can still win the day if they're willing to pay significantly more than everybody else.
San Francisco Sunset
The market "appears" to slow down just a bit but it is still very active. Prices continued to push upward. The amount of cash offers has decrease slightly. A recent listing at $1 million received 18 offers with only 2 of them are cash but the highest offers were well over 30% above asking. Thus SF property within the region of San Francisco Sunset is still proving extremely popular.

I went for more muted tones with this version, using one of my favourite colour combinations of blue and brown.
The Chandelier image was stamped using Adirondack Stream dye ink and matted onto the blue diamonds paper from the Prima Madeline paper pad.
The card blank was completely covered with the Brown Script Floral paper from the same paper pad and the image panel added to the right.
A strip of the Alphabet paper was added to a strip of the Multi Border paper and this was then added over the image panel. Faux stitching was then added over the joins of the paper pieces using the Zigzag Stitch stamp from the HOTP Stitches stamp set and ColorBox Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk ink.
Two mini tags were coloured around the edges using the Chestnut Roan ink and letters were stamped using the Stream ink and a Studio G mini alphabet stamp set. The tags were attached to some teal embroidery thread and added to the card and a brown Card Candi from Craftwork Cards was added over the ends of the threads.
Highlights were added to the Chandelier image using Glossy Accents and DecoArt Crystal Glamour dust.
All papers were distressed with the Chestnut Roan ink.
The inside of the card was also decorated using a photo corner stamp from the Stamps Away Bookplates, Corners and Anchors stamp set, stamped onto the blue diamonds paper used on the front of the card using the Stream ink and cut out
Slits were cut into the photo corners and the writing paper inserted into the corners, and a strip of the Brown Script Floral paper used on the front of the card was added across the paper and the sentiment, from Elzybells, was stamped using the Stream ink.

Where I live, the harvest season is officially over. The farmers have harvested the last of their crops. They are settling in for the winter.
I live in the city now, but I spent years living on a farm. We were always in touch with the rhythms of nature.
We were acutely aware of the change of the seasons, the daily weather, and the rising and setting of the sun. Everything we did back then revolved around the cycles and temperament of the earth.
A Deeply Satisfying Harvest
Every year when the growing season starts, I like to go back to my hometown and have a taste of the harvest season. Not on a farm growing cash crops, but at least at the home of someone with some land and a garden.
There is something deeply satisfying about putting your hands into the soil, and getting what you plant to sprout and grow. About making a meal with herbs, spices, and vegetables you and your friends and family harvested yourselves.
Happy Memories
Some of my happiest memories of childhood are of the women in our family canning fruits and vegetables. They would spend days husking, peeling, snapping, and slicing various fruits and vegetables by hand.
My cousins and I would run by and snatch sliced fruit from the buckets, and our mothers would stay, "stop that…you're going to get sick from all that raw fruit!" We would just giggle and run away with our loot.
We never took heed of their warnings, and we never got sick from our pilfered fruit. 🙂
I'm not even fond of fruit, but that was different.
I asked my mother once why they bothered with all of that when they didn't have to anymore. Why don't you just buy vegetables in the store, mom?
She said it was a tradition. I thought, "when I grow up, I'm going to the supermarket instead."
Now I understand. The whole process is deeply satisfying.
Growing and preparing your own food draws you near to one another, to the land, and to all the previous generations. Stretching back in time, long before the modern supermarket was born.
We can fruits and vegetables, and make jam, dry herbs and get creative with blends of herbal tea. Some of my friends make tinctures for home remedies, and put them in pretty little bottles with homemade labels and sell them at the farmer's market.
Freshly harvested cucumbers and peppers. Packets of loose-leaf herbal tea
Amazing Watermelon
This year I was fascinated with the watermelon. How its tendrils reach out and affix themselves, little by little, vining along whatever they can find.
I was inspired to watch a time-lapse video of a vining plant, stretching out its tendrils and latching onto things. Very cool. 🙂
I thought the freckled watermelons were some sort of crazy new hybrid, but it turns out they're heirloom melons, called Moon and Stars. Freckle stars. 🙂 Even their vines are spotted. Lovely.
I have found that I'm drawn to people who have an appreciation for plants and animals, and the beauty of the earth.
If we're talking about these things and your eyes glaze over in boredom, we're probably not going to have enough common ground to build a close friendship. To me, the earth is an endless fascination.
Farmer's Market
I walk to the farmer's market every week when it's in town, and miss it when it's closed. Like the stink bugs that invade my home around this time every year, the packing up of the farmer's market is a harbinger of winter.
Enjoy the winter, look forward to the spring. Every season has its charms and is steeped the memories of years gone by.
I think if more people reconnected with the land, at least in some small way, they would be happier. I finally understand what my mother said about tradition.
If you work really hard to free yourself from the land, the seasons, and the harvest, what is it you're going to do instead?
Watch Netflix and eat junk food?
Is that deeply satisfying?
Even a small patio garden can yield a surprising amount of produce.
If you plant perennials like lemon balm and mint in your flower beds, they will come back every year on their own. And perhaps in the case of mint, go wild and take over every inch of space. 🙂
You can cut some anytime you like, all season long, and put it in your food or tea.
I understand why people wanted to escape the labor and uncertainty involved with producing their own food. I'm as grateful as anyone for the supermarket. But that doesn't mean I've forgotten everything.
Know the deep satisfaction of being a producer instead of a consumer now and then. Make things with your own hands. Commune with the land.
Be happy. 🙂

|Monday, September 21, 2015. Beautiful weekend in New York weather-wise. Sunday afternoon, on the Promenade by the East River, there was a strong cool breeze of autumn blowing under a warm Sun. And nighttime falling into the 50s. No massive hum of the A/Cs filling the air with the night time temps falling into the 50s. Just being out there walking, was enough to raise your spirits for the moment.
|Retrospect. Thursday night our friend Geoffrey Bradfield hosted a small birthday celebration for himself at the Polo Bar. This was my first visit. The handsome room looks very familiar because it's distinctly Ralph Lauren. It's almost as iconic to the American mind, as the Coke bottle was. The interiors are reminiscent of "21" in its glory, but updated. The restaurant was packed.
A native of Johannesburg, Geoffrey has been a native New Yorker for about the last forty years. He is a successful international interior designer, one of those individuals who lives in a style that implies leisure (time to relax) yet works just about 24/7, covering the globe for his global clientele. The way he does relax, however, is to entertain his friends at dinner for four or sixty-four. He likes a splashy party to entertain his guests, and of course good food and drinks.
|Thursday's was a conservative, intime party for Geoffrey. Among his guests were childhood friends, and longtime friends. Just eight of us. Guests arrived by 8:30, and conversation took us quickly to almost 11. I don't think anyone even mentioned the business of a birthday. Yesterday was the official day for the boy.
This is the first paragraph of Flannery's piece:
"The free-living dolphins of the Bahamas had come to know researcher Denise Herzing and her team very well. For decades, at the start of each four-month-long field season, the dolphins would give the returning humans a joyous reception " a reunion of friends," as Herzing described it. But one year the creatures behaved differently. They would not approach the research vessel, refusing even invitations to bow-ride. When the boat's captain slipped into the water to size up the situation, the dolphins remained aloof. Meanwhile, on board it was discovered that an expeditioner had died while napping in his bunk. As the vessel headed to port, Herzing said, "the dolphins came to the side of our boat, not riding the bow as usual but instead flanking us fifty feet away in an aquatic escort" that paralleled the boat in an organized manner."
You'll want to buy the books. The article is one of the reasons why I am always excited about reading the NYR. You learn something relevant and outside yourself and it's like an antidote (not an escape from) to all the bad news surrounding us these days.
One last retrospective. Liz Smith reported in her column on these pages last Friday Dickie Moore died a week ago Thursday, two days short of his 90th birthday. Dickie Moore had a substantial movie career as a child actor just as the "Talkies" came in, in the 1930s through the '40s. A bit before my time but I knew who he was because he later married Jane Powell, who was a big MGM musical star when I was a kid.
She still looks like the Jane Powell we used to see on on the giant screen on Saturday matinees at the Park Theater. I'd met both Powell and Moore any number of times in passing. They often dined at Swifty's with Marc Rosen and Arlene Dahl. Arlene was a star at Metro during the same years Jane was there. Both girls have retained the images that made them big box office. I never had a chance to chat with Mr. Moore in those moments we were introduced, so I found this obit in the London Telegraph interesting and insightful into the business of being a child actor in the movies back in the day when it was every working parent's idea of winning the lottery. And the kids worked.
|Dickie Moore, who has died aged 89, was a child star of the 1930s and 1940s who appeared in a large number of Hollywood films and gave a 14-year-old Shirley Temple her first screen kiss.
With his striking combination of fair hair, dark, intense eyes and angelic, dimpled features, Moore, who made his screen debut aged just 11 months, featured as the "baby" of many famous names, including Marlene Dietrich in Blonde Venus (1932) and Ann Harding in Peter Ibbetson (1935).
|A member of the Our Gang cast in 1932-33, he then played the title role in the 1933 film adaptation of "Oliver Twist," produced on a shoe-string by the Monogram studios, a picture which was notable for being the first ever sound version of the story, but which was otherwise panned by the critics.
He was 16 when he played the rich high-school kid who bestows a kiss on a somewhat startled Shirley Temple in Miss Annie Rooney (1942). That film, too, received a critical pasting.
|John Richard Moore was born in Los Angeles on September 12, 1925 and got his first break the following year when the casting director at Fox Pictures arrived at the family home to pick up a colleague whose car had broken down, noticed the baby of the family playing in his cot and claimed to have detected a likeness to the actor John Barrymore.
He made his screen debut as a baby in The Beloved Rogue (1926) followed by a similar role in Object: Alimony (1928) with Hugh Allan and Lois Wilson. But his earliest film memories were of making Passion Flower (1930), with Kay Francis, and Lummox (1930) with Dorothy Janis. He enjoyed working with Dorothy Janis, whom he described as "sweet to me" but "just not tough enough for the movies".
|He learnt some harsh lessons about Hollywood during the filming of Cecil B. DeMille's The Squaw Man (1931), in which he was cast as the child of a former British Army officer (Warner Baxter) and a beautiful Indian squaw (Lupe Velez). "DeMille was a bully and a bastard," Moore recalled. "[He] was completely insensitive to other people and their feelings and even hit me. I was a five-year old kid and he hit me! He really was a piece of work."
|"I realised aged six," he recalled later "that I had to be horrible just to make it down the line to collect my lunch in the studio commissary [canteen] each day."
Dickie Moore's other early credits included Son of the Gods (1930) with Constance Bennett; Let Us Be Gay (1931) with Norma Shearer; Seed (1931) co-starring Bette Davis; So Big! (1932) with Mae Madison and Barbara Stanwyck; Million Dollar Legs (1932) with Jack Oakie and Susan Fleming; Deception (1932) with Thelma Todd, and The Life of Emile Zola (1937).
In 1940 he was partnered with Shirley Temple for Blue Bird – 20th Century Fox's answer to The Wizard of Oz. He found his female co-star to be "fun and unpretentious", though the same could not be said of her mother whom he regarded as "pushy and then some".
|By this time, however, Dickie Moore had reached a self-conscious adolescence and had become weary of just being "cute". He objected to his role in Heaven Can Wait (1943) in which he played a pampered teenager kept in short trousers by parents who are determined to shield him from the outside world. He lost the innocent charm that had made him such a star as a child and as a result his later film career was disappointing. "I knew what was wanted of me and I knew how to do it, but simply had little interest in the films or the characters," he recalled.
As an adult he worked as an actor and director on radio and television and on Broadway and off-Broadway productions, but gave up Hollywood after taking a small role as a soldier in Member of the Wedding (1952). In 1956 he appeared in a Broadway production of Shaw's "Saint Joan," with Siobhan McKenna in the title role.
Dickie Moore went on to produce and direct United Service Organisation-sponsored overseas tours and lectured at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). During the 1970s he began writing for television and formed his own PR company in New York.
Moore published several books on acting, including "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (But Don't Have Sex or Take the Car)," published in 1984, an insider's account of life as a child star. During the 1980s he reestablished contact with old Hollywood friends when Edith Fellows formed a club for former child stars called The Survivors. In 1988 he married the actress Jane Powell and moved with her to Connecticut before returning to New York. He was happy to be known simply as her husband. She survives him.
Dickie Moore, born September 12 1925, died September 10 2015

Emotion-Oriented Systems
255,73 €
Emotion-Oriented Systems
Emotion pervades human life in general, and human communication in particular, and this sets information technology a challenge. Traditionally, IT has focused on allowing people to accomplish practical tasks efficiently, setting emotion to one side. That was acceptable when technology was a small part of life, but as technology and life become increasingly interwoven we can no longer ask people to suspend their emotional nature and habits when they interact with technology.
The European Commission funded a series of related research projects on emotion and computing, culminating in the HUMAINE project which brought together leading academic researchers from the many related disciplines. This book grew out of that project, and its chapters are arranged according to its working areas: theories and models; signals to signs; data and databases; emotion in interaction; emotion in cognition and action; persuasion and communication; usability; and ethics and good practice.
The fundamental aim of the book is to offer researchers an overview of the related areas, sufficient for them to do credible work on affective or emotion-oriented computing. The book serves as an academically sound introduction to the range of disciplines involved – technical, empirical and conceptual – and will be of value to researchers in the areas of artificial intelligence, psychology, cognition and user—machine interaction.
Written by established expertsInterdisciplinary team of authorsBased on a large successful European research project

My Son, The Rock Collector
This reminded me of Sean, until I get the real ones.
Why I am Writing This
Sean, my son, was born on January 6th 1995. Little Christmas they call it. He is as different from my girls as he can be, but in some ways like each of them.
This story is about how Sean became the rock collector he is today, and was inspired by Figment's hub on Mississippi Agates. Sean has been collecting rocks for quite some time as you will see, but it was Figment's Hubnugget nomination that brought me to her Hub, and the reason behind actually telling this story.
In her Hub, Figment has done amazing research into the meanings of stones, and what they are supposed to do for us. In reading her Hub I thought of how ironic it was that Sean was an avid rock collector from such a young age, and that he suffered from some of the ailments Figment described, such as nightmares and insomnia.
When I started here, I had intended to write hubs about all of my family, so that they could get to know each other. Spread out from coast to coast, I have relatives I have never met, and so do my children.
All about Sean
Before Sean was born I was working a full time job and knew i would need child care. A local friend was chosen long before he was born. For the sake of argument, since she has since passed on, I will call her Bea. I do not know if her family will like me writing about her as we have lost touch in the nearly 10 years since her passing.
She and Sean loved each other from the start, but he was not the only child there, and so learned patience at a very young age, and still demands patience even now. He does not like to be pushed, rushed or bothered, and doesn't like it if someone does those things to anybody he is friends with. Like a rock, he does not change.
When he was old enough to start walking to the baby-sitter's house, just doors away, he started finding rocks, and stopped to put one or two in his pocket. His sisters didn't see any harm as they were often clean decorative rocks and no one seemed to mind if he took a couple. He wasn't even two yet.
As time wore on and the children got older, Bea started "playing school" with them while their older siblings were in school. At the end of this session, she would tell the kids, okay, go get your backpacks to put your work away. The children would all run and get theirs, but Sean would sit patiently and wait for the next game.
One day, Bea's sister said, "Why does Seany (they all called him Seany) just sit there when the kids put their work away."
"Oh he doesn't have a backpack, he walks down here." Bea replied.
Well the next thing you know, her sister went and bought my son a backpack! I didn't know he needed one! So now whenever Bea would announce to put away their work, Seany would jump up and shout:"I dot batpat!" and run to put his work in it.
One day, many weeks later, as Bea was tucking things into the backpacks for the children to take home, the strap on Sean's backpack broke, and hit the floor with a thud. She found it was heavy to lift and looked to see what he had in there. It was full of rocks. Each day when he got home, he would put whatever rocks he had found in the backpack, and bring us his drawings and whatever worksheets he had finished for the day.
As Time Wore On
Now that we knew of his obsession we started cleaning out his new backpack every day. He loved his rocks and in addition to those was collecting assorted shells, and even some interesting fossil formations as well as pieces of coral.
This is possible because we live in West Palm Beach Florida, and you don't have to go down very far to hit some amazing rock formations. The streets here were predominantly shell rock for a very long time, so that when you walk across a busy road and look down you will see pieces of shell in the pavement.
Whenever we would go anywhere with Sean he would bring back rocks. Whenever we went somewhere without him, we would bring him rocks back. Even when we took him to the Science Museums, he would choose a bag of rocks for a souvenir, rather than the amazing toys.
When Sean looks at rocks, when he handles them, he sees and feels something different in each one. Some hold memories of places he has been and things he has done. Others are a mystery, that he likes to try to solve, how old is the rock, what might have made these marks.
He was so fascinated that I bought him a rock tumbler, thinking this would be the perfect gift. Not for Sean. This bag of rocks had no meaning. A factory somewhere chose the rocks to include in the kit. Nothing like the stones we chose, or he chose, or the ones we found that we were sure he would like. And especially nothing like the ones he found, and was sure we would like.
To Sean, those little holes and lines, the fine designs in the smallest seashell, or stone, are the tracks of history. These formations were made by something.
Now, having worked on the road crew of an Electrical Contractor, for the past 5 years, I have been able to bring actual jaw bones of various creatures, found when we were digging. I bring these home and we examine the structure, trying to guess what animal they might have come from, before looking them up on the internet to try and find a match. I know it probably sounds silly, and the guys at work thought I was out of my mind whenever I would say, "Oh can I have that? My son will love it!"
They must have thought, "Poor kid, his mom brings him home skulls and rocks!"
Although he is Fifteen now, and in a hurry to learn to drive, Sean's fascination with his collections continues. He can tell you things that will astound you, because he has an interest in them. He does not get the best grades in school, and hates to go. But I guarantee, the days they do anything involving geology, Sean teaches the teacher a thing or two. For this reason they expect more from him about other things.
His take on it is this:"If those things interested me I would be good with them too. But they bore me. I know rocks, and bones and sea creatures and dinosaurs. I can tell if a photo is real or fake, and I can tell if someone is lying to me. Just because I am not interested in rainbows or clouds or averages doesn't mean I am not trying. They just bore me. It is easy to get a good grade, but it is hard to do work that makes no sense. Rocks, bones, fossils, shells... They make sense to me. I can read them better than words."
Mrs. Harvey is a Teacher I know Sean would like.
I loved this story about Sean!!!! I have broght big rocks from the beachs in Malibu for years!! and my father was a huge rock collector!!!! I think your son rocks! no pun inteneded LOL!!!!! he knows what his passion is!....wonderful story!
I remembered this hub and had to come back to tell you a funny- My 27 year old son recently noticed that he started to get a little pot belly so he put 30 pounds of rocks in a back pack and wears it to run every day after work.
fun post!
faybe you did an awesome job as usual! :)
Awesomeness! Love it! Cute as can be!
Aw, this is terrific! Your beautiful son Sean was from the time he was very little, an amateur geologist.
I remember we had loads of gravel delivered to our driveway, and there were sometimes fossil stones, which my brother David would patiently pick out from amongst the chips of gravel. He had a whole collection, too.
I had to laugh at the backpack full of rocks, for some reason it reminded me of when my youngest went to daycare and would stuff his 'blankey' into his backpack. It sounds like your son knows who he is and what he wants - that is something I admire in a person.
I love this hub and your son "rocks"!
I had a rock collector too!
Now we use her rocks to put in my grandson's frog tank!
Faybe.... I just love, love, love it! Words can't express it. I rated it up!!
Fun hub especially the videos, I think alot of little boys go through the rock collecting phase I know all three of mine have done it.
Great hub, Faye. I like your son...he and I both enjoy the art of collecting rocks. :-) two thumbs up! And love the videos you added.
