After 'The Sinner', I basically tried to take any job so that I could learn more how to not be a complete waste of space on set. Every minute that I was being used on camera, I'd be tucked away in every department that would have me. Whether it was wardrobe, set dressing, lighting, photography, even craft services, there were people that knew infinitely more than I did and I could learn about how a set ran. After a solid month of working, I laid out basic guidelines about how I wanted to behave on set.
Terence's Commandments for On-Set Behavior:
1. Tell the truth when asked.
2. Don't be a dick to the PAs, they have a worse job than you.
3. Do not date anyone you meet on set.
4. Do not fuck anyone you meet on set.
5. Be a decent human being.
6. If you mess up, apologize. Apologize first and apologize sincerely.
re Commandment 1: You can ask anyone that I've worked with, I am a troublemaker on set. You have a lot of free time on set when you're an extra, and if you know me even a little bit, you know that me + free time = shenanigans. The worst part is that I actively recruit to my cause. What ends up happening is on sets that I frequent the PAs know that I'm actively the ringleader and usually try to have eyes on me at all times. That, and add to the fact that I know the process by rote and can time when the crew call actually is, I'm not the best with arriving on time. I usually get away with it, but the times I get caught, I just tell the truth. You can be forgiven if you're honest with the PAs, you're a scamp, but you never disrupt a shot and you always do your job. The second they catch you in a lie, all trust is broken and you can kiss whatever rapport you had good-bye. You can be a scoundrel, but be an honest scoundrel. The community that does this in New York is small and once you sell your integrity and your word upriver, you're toast.
re Commandment 2: PAs, or production assistants, are essentially the bottom rung of the ladder on the crew side. Some of them are younger than you are, which can be a bit thorny when they're in charge of you, but I roll with it. Some of them are staff with the show, but a lot of them roam from production to production trying to get enough days to qualify for whatever union they're trying to break into. They get paid less than extras and have to get there before us and clean up after we leave. I don't envy them, so when extras blow up at the PAs, it always pisses me off. They're in the same boat we are, and they have to deal with all the shit coming from the directors, who are the people that actually matter and can 86 a career just like that. Help each other, make each other's lives easier.
re Commandment 3: I'll be blunt, the average New Yorker is better looking, better dressed, and better groomed than the national norm. This isn't an opinion, these are just facts. Now add another level of self-selection to that and the realities of the industry and you have incredibly attractive people (myself not included). If you're shooting any club/party scene, it's peppered with models who are outfitted with the skimpiest dresses possible as mandated by wardrobe. Don't be that guy, the set is your workplace, and there's nothing worse than someone leering at you when you're trying to make an honest buck. I always just think of it this way: if wardrobe ever decided that I had to be in a skimpy dress, I really wouldn't want anyone telling me anything about my appearance, or my dress, or anything. Just be fucking normal sauce, set isn't a singles' lounge.
re Commandment 4: There's a sign that hangs on the set of 'Blindspot' that says "SEXUAL ACTIVITY ON THE PREMISES IS ILLEGAL". While that might be blindingly obvious, it's still necessary. I don't want to say that sexual harassment is rampant, but it 100% exists on set. I can tell you for a fact that every actress I know has been subjected to it on set and it's fucking obnoxious. It's always a few guys that are in that predatory mindset and once they're exposed, they stop, but they need to be embarrassed. Do you sometimes have chemistry with someone you meet on set? Absolutely. Have I ever flirted with anyone on set? You bet. But that's as far as it goes. I've exchange contact info all the time, but I make a conscious effort to keep it professional. My biggest line in the sand is that the set is a workplace. When you blur those lines it's never good for anyone. By extension, I've done love scenes in short films and student films, if I can blur the lines when I'm on set, how do I keep my boundaries when I'm shooting a scene? How do I genuinely tell people that I'm a professional when I need to be when I'm don't demonstrate that professionalism all the time?
The things I've heard are atrocious. I had a friend who was portraying a bar patron. A guy easily twenty years her elder goes up to her and says, "Hey, I'm going to make out with you on the next take." Of course, she refuses. His response: "Aren't you an actress? How about you get into character?"
Go and fuck yourself. Truly.
Even when it's consensual it doesn't work out well. I was on set and there was a group of us that had been working together for weeks. One of the PAs asked out an extra and she was into it. She gushed about it to everyone, yet the awkwardness was palpable through the cast and crew. As extras, we all immediately lost respect for the PA and his credibility dropped to zero. Any time we saw him on another production, he's a running joke. As for the extra, not only did she seem like a rube to the rest of us, but the PAs and the crew dealing with the background didn't know how to deal with it.
There are eight million people living in New York City, you have other options.
re Commandment 5: I feel like being a decent human being should be a pre-requisite across the board in life. Help people when you can, clean up after yourself, you know, normal things. Most importantly, just be yourself and understand the rules. For example, the blanket rule is that you don't talk to the principals. Okay yeah, but they're also human beings. If you're hanging next to them for eight hours, it's okay to make some small talk. Don't distract them from their work and don't make it awkward, be a decent human being. Key point: Don't be an ass-kissing sycophant, those you can spot from a mile away. But being mindful, attentive, and compassionate (in addition to doing your fucking job) is the best way to get through the day.
re Commandment 6: Sets, even on a normal day, are high stress environments. I kid you not, every minute the camera is rolling costs thousands, if not millions of dollars depending on the production. Add in limited times on location, the need to get all the scenes you need to get done, not to mention getting the right lighting conditions, and the stress and tension are almost always at a boiling point. Everyone tries to keep an even keel but people have a breaking point. I'll be honest, most cast and crew understand the daily chaos and are pretty good at keeping calm but there are limits, and even I've snapped on occasion. The best remedy I've found is to just apologize. It really doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong, we're both just trying to get the job done. In addition, we're both wrong for losing our temper. Get your head right and be sincere in your apology. You'll earn more respect in the long run and they'll want to work with you, integrity matters.
At this point, it was only a month, but I felt like a veteran of the background scene. I worked 3 or 4 days a week grinding it out, trying to grab my SAG waivers. I had met a lot of the same people, asked for advice, and gotten contrarian opinions from almost everyone. It was hard, spending at least 10-12 hours on set and getting $100 a day. Not only does your mind take a beating, but your body does too. Everything ached all the time. Transitioning from a desk job to a career where you're on your feet and roaming all day makes you realize how terrible a sedentary lifestyle is. I took in everything like a sponge, it really was a trial by fire. I sat down with as many people as I could and absorbed every bit of knowledge they had to offer me. I had notes about how set worked, even down to budgeting and things that I would never need to know as an actor. I knew that I was starting at a huge disadvantage and knowledge was the only weapon that I had to move quickly, aggressively, and successfully.
That's all I had to bank on, my training. I was working my ass off, and I liked to think I had a modicum of talent. I realized early on that anyone saying that they 'worked hard' and that they were 'talented' as their qualifcations for success in acting would be destined for failure. Hard work and talent are the absolute minimum you need to be successful. If you don't have those things you don't even get to dream of success. What else makes you stand out and worth hiring?
That was what I had to figure out.
I'm a scientist by training. I need data and then I extrapolate. That was my first month, learning everything I could. I quickly identified the people that I admired on set: which principals, which crew, and even which extras I enjoyed working with. I thought: What qualities do I want to emulate? How do I acquire these qualities? How do I differentiate myself from the rest of the pool? I kept my mouth shut and kept listening to everyone on set, diving deep into what made a production successful, how a fast day versus a slow day worked, how they scheduled cast and crew, why they used certain shots. At no point did I think I had figured it all out, but after a month of being in the industry, I had a super barebones outline of how a production works, what I could do to be a unique voice, and more importantly, how to be an active contributor on a working set.
Then I got my first audition…

Inspiration, tips & stories to help you make awesome videos.

Author: Nate Brown | Chief Creative Officer
What are your team's biggest questions?
We've been through a whirlwind few months as humans, colleagues, business leaders. I'm speaking collectively, because I bet you may be feeling the same way! Through it all, we've been communicating, easing fears, answering questions and charting the future has been priority. How about you?
Speaking of charting the future, as states begin reopening, you may be thinking through when and how to welcome employees back to your space. Whether your workforce went all virtual, or remained open as an essential service, the workplace today looks very different than before.
As you ease your team into the next phase of reopening -- whatever that may be for your company, consider using video to show your team how you are keeping them safe, and what they can expect at work.
Start by answering your team's biggest questions. For our team, it was questions around how do we get back to filming workplace stories, in a safe and socially distant manner. How do we protect our clients, and our team? To address this, we carefully followed the film industry protocols, and developed a plan. I created this video to provide an overview of changes to our production process, and welcome our team back to filming.
Use this recipe to create your own communication plan!

Due to the current state of the world, you now find yourself turning that spare room, typically reserved for that bowflex you now use as a clothing line, into your work-from-home office.
It can all be quite an adjustment and navigating how one gets started with remote work can be overwhelming. That's where our NORMAL, day-to-day workflow experience can help. We've been working remotely for awhile now. And, have had some time to tweak our remote work set ups. In this post, We share a short list of microphones and cameras you can use to get started in your new role as master Skype-setter-uper.
Most of our laptops, tablets and some All-in-one PC's come with a built in webcam and an array of mics that we can use as a jumping off point but it isn't a bad idea to up your game and the quality of at least one of these two if not both. As someone in film and audio, my first recommendation would be to improve your audio. For one reason or another, most people can get past a subpar video clip so long as the audio is crisp and clean. To most humans, crap audio is a massive distraction (the expert studies are still out). So let's start with microphones.
A USB mic is a typically a huge upgrade for most of us who do a lot of virtual meetings, calls and conferencing. The list of affordable options is endless and most will end up being a huge upgrade AND most if not all will work on both PC, Mac and even iOS at times (with a small adapter).
These choices are by no means a definitive list of what one should be using and keep in mind, there are so many options out there. We feel this will be a great jumping off point and of course, don't forget, at the very least, utilize the devices you have already ie your phone, tablet, and laptop. We are lucky to be surrounded by technology that makes it quite easy to see and hear one another, no matter the distance between us.
Stay safe!

A Little About Nick
Always captivated by the sights, sounds and musical scores of film, Nick has been moved from an early age on the power video and film can have in telling a story. The relationship between music and film is what pushed Nick to explore a life behind the camera and as a video editor. As a musician, he figured the two walked hand in hand. As he developed his skills in videography and editing through his YouTube channel and working with local musicians, bands and businesses, he felt he could lend his hand to telling deeper, more human-driven stories. Nick states, "I've had the opportunity to learn so much, meet so many amazing humans and to assist in telling their stories through the work they do. It's been nothing short of a privilege to do so as part of the Skill Scout team.
A Message From Leadership On Video
In times of rapid change, viral illnesses like COVID-19, natural disasters or other disruptions to our daily business and personal lives, our teams look to us to provide guidance, critical information and direction to move forward.
You may have a lot of information to share with your team right now. New processes, office closure, working remotely for the first time. Sharing this in written form is important for step-by-step processes that people can refer back to.
But in written communication, it's often the emotion and vulnerability that gets lost. Now more than ever, employees are looking for connection. They are looking to leaders who care and empathize with what's happening. Tone, demeanor and eye contact matter. If you can't be together in person to speak with them, video is the next best thing.
As leaders, delivering a message on video is a human-centered way to connect, inform, reassure our people. This was a hard week. In that spirit, we took a few moments to open lines of communication with the team before our weekly check in.
Here's the message we sent to our team and close partners.
Here's how we structured the message.
You can download a printable copy here.
Here are a couple other examples.
When I was a little boy, and something bad happened in the news, my mother told me to look for the helpers. You'll always find people helping. -Fred Rogers
Imagine you or a loved one is sick. Today in particular, that may not be such a difficult scenario to envision. Maybe the illness involves a trip to the doctor, then hospital. Maybe a few tests, treatment that requires a return visit. In every one of these touch points, you will have been in the care of a Nurse.
Nurses are a critical part of our healthcare system. They improve patient outcomes. They comfort, educate and advocate for us as patients. They're with us after the delivery of good news and very bad news.
And we have a large and growing shortage of nurses in our country. Our healthcare colleagues face big challenges like an aging workforce, a shortage of Physicians that creates a system more heavily dependent on nurses. We are facing an unprecedented strain on the healthcare system with COVID-19, which means filling these critical roles has never been more important.
Many healthcare organizations are turning to innovative recruitment strategies to attract Nurses to their organizations. We've seen a sharp uptick in the number of healthcare careers clients have asked us to capture on camera.
Healthcare is rich with stories of helping patients make heroic recoveries, unimaginable loss, coming together as a team and making a palpable difference in a community's health. Film is a powerful way to depict these stories.
But how do you film stories authentically, respect patient privacy, and capture the humanity and backdrop of a healthcare setting?
Here are a few of the things my team is learning along the way to film in a healthcare setting, in a human-centered way.
Logistics are everything. Take extra time for pre-production planning.
When we film in a healthcare environment, we expect no fewer than 2-3 story and logistics-planning sessions with our partners. There are a lot of moving parts.
Here are some questions to ask as you plan:
Consider who else will appear on camera.
For all healthcare roles, especially nurses, the person you are filming most likely interacts with lots of other people on a day-to-day basis. Showing these interactions is key to capture an authentic story, whether that's a "day in the life" video, or speaks more to your organizational culture and creed. Get a running list, something like:
From that list, prioritize the most important interactions you would like to feature in your video piece. For people who work for your organization, start considering who would be excited to join you on camera. For the roles of patients and patient family members, start thinking about who from your team would be willing to recruit a parent, neighbor, friend or child to appear in your video. In our most recent healthcare shoot, we filmed our recruiting friends' son and grandmother to play themselves, respectively, in the role of patient.
Other organizations hire actors, which is also a great approach. As you're "casting" your patients and families, consider which demographics of patients are most representative of your actual patients for that role (ex. Home Health working with seniors, pediatric nurses working with kids). That way candidates get a flavor for the work, the environment, and who they will interact with on a daily basis from a quick video.
Identify & Scout Your Location
One challenge in a busy hospital or clinic is to decide where filming should take place. We typically pick one main location to conduct interviews, that is quiet. The rest of the footage we film in-action wherever the work would normally take As you review options, make sure that the space is representative of where your employees work, and are minimally disruptive to your patient flow. Here are some ideas that have worked well for our team:
Before film day, walk through the space you have planned. Check out the lighting, the sound and how you plan to configure your interviews (sitting vs. standing, walking tour that moves through a space, etc.). Walk through at exactly the time you'll be filming, if possible. That will give you a realistic sense of how noisy or echo-y the space is, and whether you'll need to add any lighting to your interviewees' faces at that time of day.
Ask the Right Questions
Healthcare professionals often take an interest in the field because they're personally drawn to helping and healing people. Perhaps they've had a loved one who spent time in the healthcare system. Maybe they have been impacted by illness or injury personally. Ask "What inspired you to choose this profession?" The stories you hear will undoubtedly move you, and the stories will be relatable to others who have pursued nursing, home health, imaging, pediatrics, or any other division of healthcare. Stories foster a sense of belonging, and by sharing stories of your team, you have the opportunity to spread this belonging to candidates who are watching.
In addition to getting personal stories, here is a solid list of questions our team asks in every interview:
Capture the Right Shots
You've probably put some thought into who should appear in the video alongside your featured employees. Typically this is other healthcare providers, and patients. It's helpful to build a list of potential scenes prior to filming. If you can spend 10-15 minutes on the phone with your featured employee(s) before you film, ask them where are 2-3 places you should make sure to film them. They will have good insight to where the majority of the work takes place, and features, equipment or facilities that would be appealing to candidates. For more ideas on building a shot list, feel free to click through this pre-production survey.
Here's a sample shot list from a recent Nursing job we filmed:
Nurses, Patient Care Technicians, Caregivers, LPNs, all of these healthcare roles are incredibly important, always. Using video to capture stories in a meaningful way helps you engage with your prospective employees and patients alike. Filming in healthcare takes thought and human-centered planning to create authentic in-context video, but it's achievable!
How to film a "boring" office job
Shared by: Abby | Founder & CFO
Yes, we believe every job has meaning. As workplace storytellers, it's our job to uncover that meaning and share it in a way that evokes emotion. Sometimes it's about the company's mission. Other times it's about fulfilling a personal passion or legacy. Maybe it's about opportunities to make a small corner of the world a better place. One story that is often overlooked is: what does this job allow me to do outside of work? Who does it allow me to be?
Great storytelling requires empathy, curiosity and a little digging. Capturing these stories on camera will take you outside of the office and into wherever the meaning lies.
Here are a few examples of jobs that take place in an office, but are anything but boring.
Why is the work personally meaningful?
Find people who are passionate about what they're doing. Chances are, they have a personal story for why their job means so much to them. Candidates with the same passion will see this come through and relate.
How does the role allow the company to thrive?
Even though the finance team doesn't build vacuums at Dyson, they play a key role in the company's success and longevity. For the right candidate, working on the finance team is a way to scratch an entrepreneurial itch and they'll be geeked about doing this through the line item reviews that might bore someone else.
What does the job allow people to do in their life outside of work?
In this story, Karima lost her husband recently after being hired at Thermo Fisher. The company supported her through her loss, and continues to provide a work environment that supports her to be the mother she wants to be for her son.
When candidates are looking for a job, they're trying to picture what their life will look like if they work with your company. An accountant knows the basics of what's expected of a staff accountant. Perhaps a more important story to share is how their life will look outside of the office? Who does your job allow them to be at home? How can they show up?
How does the job allow people to impact the world?
Everybody has been informed by the work of Pew Research, even if you don't know their name. They did a great job showing their impact in news headlines and the flow of global information in this video (clips contributed by their team, shot on a phone!).
I hope these examples get you thinking about ways of framing stories for jobs that take place in a cube or a desk, but that have emotion for the right viewer. Not all heroes wear capes, some run payroll, play with data, or answer phones. It's our job to uncover what keeps people inspired, passionate and curious in their jobs.
Elena and Abby bring you innovative stories from the workplace.

More television shows....
Back in January, a guy calls looking for someone to act as a buyer in a new show that he was casting for. The premise? They find someone who has "valuable antiques" to sell, get in them in line to send their items to auction, and then bring in "collectors" to see if they could make them an offer they can't refuse. Basically, take the cash now or see what happens at the auction. When he referred to the sellers as "contestants" is when I stopped listening. I pointed out to this gentleman that as an auctioneer, I believe in the auction process and really don't want to be involved in poaching auction consignments.
Then last week, someone else calls, different company and different show. This time, the premise is to identify younger collectors who may be willing to part with some of their "valuable antiques" if the price was right. This guy wanted leads. Seriously, this guy wanted me to hand over names of folks who have stuff to sell. If I had such leads, I explained, I'd be calling them myself.
Dont' get me wrong, and as we've stated in our column before, we readily acknowledge that these programs are putting antiques in front of mainstream America. And we are grateful for that. We just wish they all weren't all gameshows. True, the get-rich-quick model is more likely to elicit better ratings, but isn't there any production company out there with a little more creativity who can come up with an antiques-related program that doesn't focus on the dollars and cents?

I, too, have grown tired of the reality shows ... not just the antiques ones, but the foodie ones as well, although I am a Roadshow fan. Several years ago there was a classy show (Collectible Treasures with Sharon Anderson). Well done, not hyped, yes it had some prices, but was a learning experience as well. Too bad no one has picked up the format. Bob

Great blog, first of all. My husband and I are young collectors as well. I was raised in the business and I'm still in it! I run a website for antique dealers and collectors to sell online. It's called Collectivator (www.collectivator.com).
Anyway, because I'm also online I've been contacted by the exact same people! I had the same reaction as you. At first I was flattered, but pretty soon I became frustrated. It was the "see if someone will sell their collection" idea. They told me they were looking for an expert on all collections (from Hot Wheels to insects). The expert would have some time to research but basically they had to know everything about everything. Oh, and they had to be young, and "cool looking", and (at the end anyway) a guy. So after a few discussions I told them I wasn't interested in helping them find this mythical, motorcycle riding hipster dude who happens to know a lot about Wade tea figurines. I certainly didn't fit the bill :)
I'm glad I'm not getting contacted by them anymore. I would be interested to see if the show ever makes it to air. I agree that it's nice to at least see some antiques shows on TV. Do you get the BBC show "Cracking Antiques" in America? It's the best one I've seen so far that aims to introduce young people to collecting. Check it out if you get the chance.

This past Thursday, Mom and Dad took us girls to our hometown Bullfrogs baseball game!
It was an early birthday present for me, and it was extra special because the Bullfrogs were playing the Duluth Huskies.
Huddle time!
Heading out to the field..
The Huskies scored their only two points during the time we were there.(We did't stay for the whole game)
The Bullfrogs pulled ahead with a home run in the 4th inning though!
It was super fun and the finishing score was Bullfrogs 6 Huskies 2!!
Thanks for visiting A Homespun Country Life!

An aching tooth you get from a cavity is no fun, but it's something that can be easily seen and quickly solved. Unfortunately, toothaches also stem from problems that aren't so easily recognized.
Tooth pain can be a little like that weird noise your car engine makes but always disappears the moment you drive it into the repair shop.
A tooth that aches only in the morning may be the result of overnight tooth grinding (bruxism). Bruxism is quite common, and has the potential of deteriorating tooth enamel. But it's also treatable. Occasionally a patient will experience some hot/cold sensitivity after a new filling or crown. That's normal, and should go away after a few days. If it doesn't, the problem may lie elsewhere. And we want to know about it.
There's also pain from "root surface sensitivity." This can result from years of brushing teeth too hard, "heartburn acid" which enters the mouth overnight and attacks the enamel of your teeth, receding gums, or periodontal pockets of infection. A toothache may even be the result of a microscopic crack in a molar. These pains are not easy to pinpoint, and often require that you and I work together to help determine the actual cause.
And, yes, toothaches come from decay. But whatever the reason, if you're experiencing tooth discomfort, call the dentist so we can help you solve the mystery of an achy tooth. With all the resources at our disposal, an aching tooth is something no one should have to live with.
Technology in dentistry now offers attractive options in dental fillings for cavity restorations in dental care. Called composites, these new tooth-colored dental fillings are excellent choices for front teeth and other repairs that might be visible. Composites duplicate the natural appearance of a tooth in restoring decayed teeth or repairing a defect and giving you a more attractive mouth.
Dental fillings composites are made from a mixture of microscopic plastic and ceramic resin particles. Another type of tooth-colored dental fillings used in dental care are called a resin ionomer, which releases fluoride useful for preventing tooth decay.
The bonding process used in restoration provides strength to the tooth, making it more structurally sound. It also seals the tooth, decreasing the chance of sensitivity to hot and cold. Some composites made with materials releasing fluoride are ideal for treating root decay, a condition when gums recede, exposing tooth roots to more cavity-causing plaque. These fluoride-releasing materials also are useful dental fillings for decayed baby teeth.
Following removal of the decayed area, a mild acid solution is used to prepare the tooth's surface for bonding and dental fillings. A bonding agent is then brushed over the surface. Several layers of the composite are applied during the next dental care process. For a natural appearance, the dentist matches the color of the dental fillings composite to the tooth.
Then, it is chemically hardened or cured with a special light and finally polished for a natural-looking finishing touch.
In a five-year clinical study of dental care, some of the resin materials demonstrated 100% effectiveness for adhesion and retention. Like other types of dental fillings, they may require periodic replacement. While the material is very durable, they may not perform quite as long as silver fillings or amalgams for their resistance to the rigors of grinding and chewing.
Scheduling dental care on a regular basis is an important part of good oral hygiene. Your dentist will check your fillings each time to ensure their performance.

On Headby Stoney Emshwiller
HEAD, when you think
of it, is what
birthdays are really
all about.
This is certainly true
for the male
of the species.
For a man,
once he has
attained the age
of consent
(or proudly
aimed his first
chubby t'ward
the heavens
whichever comes first),
nothing can top
a rousing round
of hooverism
as the ultimate
caring gift
of love.
Women, perhaps,
would be
more interested
in a nice pair
of sandals.

2. "...a book provides for a distillation of our sporadic mind, a record of its most vital manifestations, a concentration of inspired moments that might originally have arisen across a multitude of years and been separated by extended stretches of bovine gazing. To meet an author whose books one has enjoyed must, in this view, necessarily be a disappointment... because such a meeting can only reveal a person as he exists within, and finds himself subject to, the limitations of time."

6. "At this juncture it is important to say something about Exodus 12:7. This verse implies that we are dealing with a ritual that did not involve atoning for sin, but rather was a rite of protection for God's people, a different though not unrelated matter. It involved a blood ritual to avoid God's last blow against the firstborn. Thus Passover and atonement were not originally associated, though apparently by Jesus' day there were some such associations. Notice that nothing at all is said or suggested here about Israel's sin, or about forgiveness. This ceremony is more like an insurance policy. Yes, the blood is to avert divine wrath, but it is not wrath against Israel's particular sins. In this case they simply happened to be too close to the danger zone, or in the line of fire. We must assume that this blood ritual arose before there even was a fully formed priesthood, for it is highly unusual to have such a ritual without any mention of involvement of priests."

7. "…though queens are a particular obsession of mine. I'm not speaking of European sovereigns, mind you, but that most glorious force of the chessboard. Did you know her square was originally occupied by a male "vizier," able to advance only one meager diagonal step per move? But during the reign of the great female monarchs, this piece metamorphosed into a "queen," and her power grew commensurate with her title. Only then did the game become something more— A mental odyssey that helped reshape the world."

9. "I have been taunted on various platforms recently for becoming a neo-conservative, and have been the object of some fascinating web-site and blog stuff, from the isolationist Right as well as from the peaceniks, who both argue in a semi-literate way that neo-conservativism is Trotskyism and 'permanent revolution' reborn.Sometimes, you have to comb an overt anti-Semitism out of this propaganda before you can even read it straight. And I can guarantee you that none of these characters has any idea at all of what the theory of 'permanent revolution' originally meant."

12. "With a tension in his stomach, such as one suffers when watching an acrobat leaving the virtuosity of his safety in a mad unraveling whirl into probable death, Felix watched the hand descend, take up the note, and disappear into the limbo of the doctor's pocket. He knew that he would continue to like the doctor, though he was aware that it would be in spite of a long series of convulsions of the spirit, analogous to the displacement in the fluids of the oyster, that must cover its itch with a peal: so he would have to cover the doctor. He knew at the same time that this stricture of acceptance (by which what we must love is made into what we can love) would eventually be a part of himself, though originally brought on by no will of his own."

13. "The available worlds looked pretty grim. They had little to offer him because he had little to offer them. He had been extremely chastened to realize that although he originally came from a world which had cars and computers and ballet and Armagnac, he didn't, by himself, know how any of it worked. He couldn't do it. Left to his own devices he couldn't build a toaster. He could just about make a sandwich and that was it."

15. "He [Jesus] speaks in parables, and though we have approached these parables reverentially all these many years and have heard them expounded as grave and reverent vehicles of holy truth, I suspect that many if not all of them were originally not grave at all but were antic, comic, often more than just a little shocking."

16. "You know, I think I did originally have some sort of idea of maybe a Where Eagles Dare kind of mission against impossible odds, but it really sort of died before I had a chance to really go anywhere with it, and then just doing the book was out of the question."

20. "Paradox is an overrated threat. There is...a quality similar to inertia at work. Once an event has occurred, there is an extremely strong tendency for that event to occur.

22. "The Internet rewards scale; by trading higher up-front costs for lower marginal cost, market leaders can invest in better technology and service. As a result, there is nothing online that is both great in quality and small in scale. Amazon wasn't originally a better bookstore than the small shops we mourn, but it is now."

"AS IT TURNED out, Rylann wasn't quite as good as she'd thought she was.Over the last five years she'd prosecuted cases, she'd become quite skilled at reading defendants and their lawyers at the initial courtappearance. Given Quinn's obvious nervousness, she'd originally predicted that his lawyer would be calling her within two weeks to negotiate aplea agreement.Instead, it took him two weeks and three days to make that call."

24. "Christ represents originally: 1) men before God; 2) God for men; 3) men to man.Similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society.But Christ is alienated God and alienated man. God has value only insofar as he represents Christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents Christ. It is the same with money."
Author: Karl Marx

25. "The uniformity of the earth's life, more astonishing than its diversity, is accountable by the high probability that we derived, originally, from some single cell, fertilized in a bolt of lightning as the earth cooled. It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we take our looks; we still share genes around, and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is a family resemblance."

29. "Originally, the atoms of carbon from which we're made were floating in the air, part of a carbon dioxide molecule. The only way to recruit these carbon atoms for the molecules necessary to support life—the carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and lipids—is by means of photosynthesis. Using sunlight as a catalyst the green cells of plants combine carbon atoms taken from the air with water and elements drawn from the soil to form the simple organic compounds that stand at the base of every food chain. It is more than a figure of speech to say that plants create life out of thin air."

30. "I enjoyed living in Chicago and doing plays for little or no money. I never actually thought that I would leave Chicago, originally. I wasn't one of those people that had a plan to pack up the van and drive out to Hollywood. I didn't want to."
Author: Michael Shannon

31. "There's a Greek legend—no, it's in something Plato wrote—about how true lovers are really two halves of the same person. It says that people wander around searching for their other half, and when they find him or her, they are finally whole and perfect. The thing that gets me is that the story says that originally all people were really pairs of people, joined back to back, and that some of the pairs were man and man, some woman and woman, and others man and woman. What happened was that all of these double people went to war with the gods, and the gods, to punish them, split them all in two. That's why some lovers are heterosexual and some are homosexual, female and female, or male and male."

32. "A piratical ghost story in thirteen ingenious but potentially disturbing rhyming couplets, originally conceived as a confection both to amuse and to entertain by Mr. Neil Gaiman, scrivener, and then doodled, elaborated upon, illustrated, and beaten soundly by Mr. Cris Grimly, etcher and illuminator, featuring two brave children, their diminutive but no less courageous gazelle, and a large number of extremely dangerous trolls, monsters, bugbears, creatures, and other such nastiness, many of which have perfectly disgusting eating habits and ought not, under any circumstances, to be encouraged."

35. "These senior claims were supposed to be very low-risk; after all, how likely was it that a large number of people would default on their mortgages at the same time? The answer, of course, is that it was quite likely in an environment where homes were worth 30, 40, 50 percent less than the borrowers originally paid for them. So a lot of supposedly safe assets, assets that had been rated AAA by Standard & Poor's or Moody's, ended up becoming "toxic waste", worth only a fraction of their face value."

37. "Wow,Cal," I said, feeling a little bit like myself for the first time since I'd walked into this crazy house. "You will be able to have some awesome slumber parties in here.All of the other girls are gonna be so jealous."Cal shot me a half smile, and I felt some of the weird-ness between us dissipate. "It's not so bad," he said. Then he flopped down on the bed, only to sink out of sight in the middle of it. As Cal drowned in a sea of fluffy coverlets and throw pillows, I couldn't help but crack up.Lara looked offended. "That bed originally belonged to the third Duke of Cornwall.""It's great," Cal said, his voice muffled. He gave her the thumbs-up, which only made me and Jenna laugh harder."

39. "Marxist cults are both a culmination of the evolution of Christianity and a most impressive instance of the historical and social phenomenon that is best called the cultural residue. Throughout all history, customs survive the conditions that occasioned them, and all religions inculcate beliefs that come to be taken for granted and so survive the doctrines from which they were originally derived."

40. "The oldest of the three Abrahamic religions, and the clear ancestor of the other two, is Judaism: originally a tribal cult of a single fiercely unpleasant God, morbidly obsessed with sexual restrictions, with the smell of charred flesh, with his own superiority over rival gods and with the exclusiveness of his chosen desert tribe."
Author: Richard Dawkins

41. "From this bestial view that the human mind consists of only sense certainty, pleasure and pain, Locke developed an equally bestial theory of the nation. Man originally existed in a State of Nature of complete liberty."

46. "On Egdon there was no absolute hour of the day. The time at any moment was a number of varying doctrines professed by the different hamlets, some of them having originally grown up from a common root, and then become divided by secession, some having been alien from the beginning. West Egdon believed in Blooms-End time, East Egdon in the time of the Quiet Woman Inn. Grandfer Cantle's watch had numbered many followers in years gone by, but since he had grown older faiths were shaken. Thus, the mummers having gathered here from scattered points, each came with his own tenets on early and late; and they waited a little longer as a compromise."
Author: Thomas Hardy
Author: Thomas Hardy
47. "Ignorance is of a peculiar nature; once dispelled, it is impossible to reestablish it. It is not originally a thing of itself, but is only the absence of knowledge; and though man may be kept ignorant, he cannot be made ignorant."
Author: Thomas Paine
Author: Thomas Paine
48. "The day of the full moon, when the moon is neither increasing nor decreasing, the Babylonians called Sa-bat, meaning "heart-rest." It was believed that on this day, the woman in the moon, Ishtar, as the moon goddess was known in Babylon, was menstruating, for in Babylon, as in virtually every ancient and primitive society, there had been since the earliest times a taboo against a woman working, preparing food, or traveling when she was passing her monthly blood. On Sa-bat, from which comes our Sabbath, men as well as women were commanded to rest, for when the moon menstruated, the taboo was on everyone. Originally (and naturally) observed once a month, the Sabbath was later to be incorporated by the Christians into their Creation myth and made conveniently weekly. So nowadays hard-minded men with hard muscles and hard hats are relieved from their jobs on Sundays because of an archetypal psychological response to menstruation."

50. "I originally wanted to embrace the imagery and forthrightness of rap music. There are some interesting, dynamic voices in rap. But I find most of it irresponsible in its overt violence and commercialization of anger. As artists, we believe we can will action through language. If that's the case, we have to take responsibility for what we say."

Princess Anne has visited China's Forbidden City during a five-day tour of the country which began on Monday.
The most senior woman in China, Madame Liu Yandong, showed The Princess Royal around the historic Forbidden City.
The visit falls on the 45th Anniversary of UK-China Ambassadorial ties., with both countries hoping to strengthen relationships as a result of the royal visit.
Princess Anne arrived in the country on Monday for a five-day stay, where she will conduct engagements in Beijing, Wuhan and Changsha.
Her Royal Highness is visiting the country to strengthen China's relationship with the UK.
Princess Anne last visited China twelve years ago back in 2005. The aim of this visit was also to strengthen the UK/China relationship ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Following the successful Beijing Games, London was chosen to be the next host city for the world famous Olympic Games and The Queen's daughter ensured the handover went according to plan.
Whilst in the country 12 years ago, The Queen's daughter visited the Forbidden City so she is more than familiar with one of China's most famous landmarks.
As she will on her current visit, the Princess also visited charities, which included looking at the work of Save the Children in China.
Twenty years ago exactly, Princess Anne's brother, the Prince of Wales, was in the country for the official ceremony which marked the handover of Hong Kong from British rule to Chinese.
Thousands of people gathered to protest in the city last week when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited to commemorate the occasion of the handover.
The Princess Royal will not be visiting Hong Kong during her tour of China, instead opting to remain in Beijing and the cities of Wuhan and Changsha.
Wuhan is the most populous city in Central China and is the capital of the Hubei province. Often referred to as 'the Chicago of China', the city is located over 1,000km away from Beijing.
Even further away with a distance of 1,500km from Beijing is the city of Changsha – the capital of the Hunan province. Changsha is an important commercial, manufacturing and transportation centre in China and will be home to Princess Anne for a day.

WIPW: Winter is coming!
Yet, I try to bring some snow into my house anyway...
As I am crocheting a Snowman!
Finally I also got to a commissioned project:
My last project is also fun... But my laptop not so much... Somehow it won't upload the photo.
I hope to have some nice thing(s) to show you on Friday.
And before you start, I know I have skipped MM for two weeks in a row... It just slips my mind!
But today Poes and I went on an adventure, so Monday I surely have a post!
Tami's Amis is collecting links, as always.

This paper reports a fiber-to-chip coupler consisting of a silicon inverted taper and a silicon oxynitride (SiON) double stage taper, where the cascaded taper structure enables adiabatic mode transfer between a submicron silicon waveguide and a single mode fiber. The coupler, fabricated by a simplified process, demonstrates an average coupling loss of 3.6 and 4.2 dB for TM and TE polarizations, respectively, with a misalignment tolerance of ± 2.2 µm for 1 dB loss penalty.

Unless something consequential happens as a result of congressional oversight,… if there's one official who will be in place through the mid-term elections it's DAG Rod Rosenstein. Through the declassification agreement between President Trump and Rosenstein, POTUS carries tremendous leverage and he's in no hurry to fire him.
As The Worm Squirms
President Trump and President Trump's supporters have two slightly different sets of priorities when it comes to the DOJ and FBI. From President Trump's perspective the thorn in his administration has been Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The agreement between Rosenstein and Trump negates any concern about Mueller.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein created the special counsel under fraudulent pretense. That origination material (Ohr 302's, FISA pages, origination EC, and Page/Strzok messages) is now a risk to the Deputy AG.
DAG Rosenstein does not want his involvement in the fraud to be exposed; hence his request to block/stall/delay the declassification directive. However, at any time President Trump can declassify all the documents and outline the fraudulent basis that originated the special counsel. This is essentially President Trump's leverage.
The Robert Mueller investigation is the priority for removal for President Trump in order to continue the MAGA agenda. For well over a year Mueller has been the cloud over the administration and has been the primary focus of most media antagonism therein.
For the Office of the President, the Mueller probe is the immediate thorn. Ergo leverage over the DAG toward the removal of that thorn is a priority. Exposing the previous and current DOJ and FBI corruption is of less importance to President Trump.
However, from the perspective of President Trump supporters, especially those who have done deep research into the former and ongoing abuse, the aggregate DOJ and FBI corruption is the priority; and exposing the soft-coup is the ultimate goal.
See the difference?
The ongoing efforts of the FBI and DOJ to hide their malfeasance, does not interrupt or impede Trump's MAGA agenda; the special counsel does. Having leverage over the special counsel is more valuable than exposing the soft-coup plotters.
If the corrupt current and previous FBI and DOJ officials are laid naked to their enemies, great; but from President Trump's unique perspective it's not actually a priority.
Exposing the FBI/DOJ dirty deeds is a major priority for a contingent within congress and a multitude of Trump supporters – but for the office of the President, in the immediate future, not-so-much. Our Cold Anger is a beneficial weapon in the 2018 mid-terms. 'We The People' are the people we've been waiting for to restore the nation.
Frustrating to us, President Trump's declassification agreement with Rosenstein, which created the leverage over Mueller, has the downstream consequence of allowing currently corrupt DOJ and FBI officials to continue trying to cover-up the prior schemes. However, again, that doesn't impact President Trump or the MAGA agenda – that is an institutional issue and the President is okay with a slow-drip reveal through congressional review.
If President Trump needs to fire people down the road, likely after the mid-terms, he will; until then – we wait and watch the slow reveals. Meanwhile, the current corrupt officials within the FBI and DOJ will do everything they can to delay the sunlight on their endeavors. Currently the institutional leadership is hoping for a change in party in control of the House to aid their avoidance.
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and James Baker were part of the corrupt DOJ/FBI inside network conspiring to take-down the President. Hence the: "what do you want me to do Andy, wear a wire?" conversation from Rosenstein.
Because Rosenstein either: (a) participated; or (b) was a useful idiot, he put himself into a massive position of compromise. His stewardship over the DAG position (which is more powerful due to AG recusal), has failed massively.
And now there's the stuff behind the declassification directive (temporarily on hold) which makes DAG Rosenstein look even worse.
Either: (a) Rosenstein is more corrupt; or (b) Rosenstein is more stupid.
So prior reports all had Rod Rosenstein wanting to get out before it got worse. According to the New York Times (Team McCabe) the Deputy AG tried to politely resign five times recently. Once to Don McGahn, twice to John Kelly, and twice to President Trump.
However, the response from the White House echoed president Trump's priority perspective. The White House effectively saying…. 'not so fast knucklehead, you willfully made this mess – now clean it the hell up'!!
Forget the media spin on Rod Rosenstein. This is his actual position. President Trump has him cornered. Eighteen months worth of headaches as a result of his: (a) intentional efforts; or (b) ineptitude; because for all things that mattered AG Sessions was recused, and the DAG was in charge.
When you have this much leverage on someone, you don't want them to quit. You want to use their damaged and tenuous position to your advantage. President Trump is in no hurry to fire Rosenstein (not yet); because the DAG is so weak and President Trump holds all the leverage in the relationship.
Rod Rosenstein knows what he did wrong; and President Trump knows what Rosenstein did wrong. Though it could change based on new discoveries of how far the DAG went along within the soft-coup process, President Trump isn't likely to let Rosenstein go until everyone else knows what Rosenstein did wrong.
I can imagine the conversation:
"Okay Rod, *YOU* want to quit right? Well, then *YOU* get rid of the Special Counsel *YOU* started, and then *YOU* can quit. Until then, you can feel the stress and endure your reputation being shredded – death by a thousand congressional paper cuts….
….As long as I've got to deal with this nonsense, you ain't going anywhere. You can deal with it right along with me…. And if congress wants to haul your butt up to Capitol Hill and have you explain why you said you'd "wear a wire"etc., then you need to go explain and deal with it…
Oh, and how's that IG report on FISA abuses coming along?"
Deputy AG Rosenstein is scheduled to testify to congress on October 11th.

They spent all night in each other's arms, talking, laughing, pontificating, snoring, cuddling.
By the time the sun came up, she realized what a fool she'd been. She'd spent all this time broken and angry- so broken and angry that she couldn't see the good in what was being given to her. She'd instead projected all her pain upon him, labelled and judged him and blamed him for things that were not his fault. And through it all, he still chose to love her the best he could, the best she would let him, even though he knew she couldn't see it.
The morning sun's rays cracked through the dark as she lay her head on his chest and broke into sobs, tears running across his skin and onto his sheets. He already knew she was "crazy", and he didn't mind. This may have sealed the deal. This time she wasn't crying because of him. She was crying because of herself.

But what's most important about our bodies, Is that they remember everything, recognise odours of hugs, love, blessings. It engraved broken promises. It's like tombstone.
But what's the most strangest, Is it memories? It ushers you to go whereever you want to go or sometimes where you never want to go, a version of reality that let your numbness toll on your sleep.
As we grow, we ,somehow learn how to fortify our own brain castle.

Board Retreat
Situation: The twelve person Board for a non-profit organization consisted of a few members who served for a long time and were vocal about how things should be done. The organization had a history of growth, but it was waning. The Executive Director saw the need to integrate and attract new Board members. Although working committees were well established, many initiatives were not implemented. The Executive Director did not know what was important and what data to prepare to show how the organization was doing. A two day Board Retreat was scheduled. Prior to determining the agenda for the retreat, I conducted phone discussions with most Board members and then drafted an agenda for the Executive Director to approve. Once the agenda was approved a facilitation plan was created.
Meeting Purpose:
- Revisit the Vision – Define how to know when vision is met
- Acknowledge the organizations' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
- Identify long-term innovative opportunities that support the Vision
- Develop high level 1-3 year plans
Meeting Outputs:
- Decided key measures of success
- Created high level 1-3 year action plans
- Developed a process for implementing action plans
- Agreed on a strategic planning communication plan

Every person sleeps in their own position. They usually sleep in the position which is the most comfortable for them.
Still, in this article, we're going to present you some of the best reasons why sleeping on your left side is the most beneficial for you.
Take a look at them!
7 Benefits of Sleeping On The Left Side
- Normal Heart Function
Blood is pumped to our body with the help of the left side of our heart. In case you feel the need to sleep on the left side, it's because your body finds it easier to function well while you're sleeping.
That's how your circulatory system will also benefit from gravity e.g. the inferior vena cava or IVC which is on the right side of our spine and the aorta will carry the deoxygenated blood to our heart better.
- Beneficial for Pregnant Women
In case you're pregnant and you feel like you need to sleep on the right, it's OK. But, sleeping on the left will offer your body several benefits especially in the last trimester.
Your liver will be able to perform different functions well and it will be protected from any unwanted weight and your blood circulation will be improved.
- Improves The Lymphatic System Drainage
Our lymphatic system is very important. It eliminates all the toxins and impurities from our body. Experts claim that it drains in the thoracic duct which is on our left side.
Sleeping on the left will offer you benefits since in this way the removal of toxins will be faster and easier.
Our lymphatic system also gathers the protein which has escaped from our cells. Sleeping on the left can help you bring these back where they should be.
- The Liver Won't Be Congested
Our liver is positioned on the right of our body. Sleeping on the right can make it congested as time passes.
Sleeping on the left will neutralize all the toxins and substances before they're collected by our liver.
- Improved Spleen Function
Our spleen belongs to our lymphatic system and is on the left side of our body. Sleeping on that side will improve the function of your spleen.
It's because of gravity. The blood flow to our spleen becomes improved and all the impurities will be filtered.
- Prevent Heartburn at Night
Sleeping on the left is especially beneficial for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Being in this position places your stomach below the cardiac sphincter which actually connects your esophagus with your stomach.
Sleeping on the left won't allow the contents from the stomach to flow back into your esophagus, so the acid reflux which appears at night will be prevented.
- improve The Health Of Our Gut So That We Could Eliminate Waste Products Easily
The place of junction of the small and large intestine is where your ileocecal valve is. It's on the left.
If you want to have a proper elimination of the waste products, you'll have to sleep on the left. It will also transfer them from the small to the large intestine faster and better.
Gravity will also improve the work of your bowels so their movement becomes regular.
Try sleeping on the left at least this night. It may be hard for you to adjust to it, but you'll see that it's very beneficial.

The newly-founded Institute of Politics on campus has faced criticism for apparently benefitting a small number of students who are already highly involved in student government and elsewhere.
Most of the skepticism toward the program seems to come from the fact that five of its ten officers are either Morehead-Cain or Robertson scholars. While true, this is not at all a reason to discount the institute's work before it starts. Students can benefit from the IOP's existence in a number of ways, even if they're not here on a full-ride scholarship.
The IOP's Fellows Program will bring prominent political figures to campus for speaking engagements and office hours each semester. This fall's fellows are Deborah Ross, the Democratic nominee for last year's NC Senate race, and Thomas Stith, chief of staff during Pat McCrory's tenure as governor. Rather than complain about the makeup of the program's leadership, perhaps we should take the chance to speak one-on-one with two prominent politicians in our state, as this occurrence is a thing of rarity in the current political climate.
Another arm of the IOP, the Civics in the Triangle program, will send UNC students to two classrooms in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system to teach civics and government courses in fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms and develop their own curricula.
The institute's Tech Team seeks to tackle digital problems in nearby communities and governmental capacities, and its Summer in Washington arrangement provides Carolina students with networking opportunities with professionals and firms in the District.

Rep. Ed Markey and Gabriel Gomez.
Listen to Jon's commentary:
BOSTON (CBS) – I attended Wednesday's Democratic Party unity rally in the wake of Ed Markey's big primary win over Stephen Lynch, and it was all smiles for the party functionaries.
They lapped up Markey's stump speech about how Gabriel Gomez and the Republicans want to violate women's rights, put kids at risk by keeping guns readily available, torture seniors by cutting their benefits, and otherwise dial back our society to the time of Cro-Magnon man.
It was all pretty predictable, and par for the partisan course.

When all is said and done, a few things clearly stood out to me amidst the organized chaos and generally hazy memories surrounding E3 - the strength of Square Enix's software lineup, or at least their Western offerings, being one of them. With titles such as Hitman: Absolution, Tomb Raider and Quantum Conundrum, Square is poised for a strong upcoming year, even if Final Fantasy Versus XIII remains lost in the wilderness.
The first of those honorable mentions, the next iteration in the Hitman series, was one of my most-anticipated games heading into the big show, and I'm pleased to say IO Interactive's rebooted Agent 47 lives up to the sky-high expectations.
Absolution's behind-closed-door showing took us through the ninth level of the game, which is roughly at the halfway point of the story, according to IO. Agent 47 travels to a small, suburban town in South Dakota with the aim of obtaining information from a gang leader currently held up amongst the seemingly wholesome main streets. However, before proceeding to his main target, a number of nefarious townsfolk must be dispensed with in increasingly creative, brutal ways.
The town was setup in a miniature sandbox fashion, allowing players to not only choose how to approach and deal with each target - a staple of the Hitman series - but also in which order to tackle your objectives. This emphasis on player freedom was demonstrated through Agent 47's strategic progression from convenience store to mechanic's garage on the other side of town, attracting and manipulating the police presence along the way. He could choose whether to hide bodies, take up disguises, use environmental distractions and much more. Bottom line: Absolution seems positioned to nicely build on the foundations which made Hitman so revered in the past.
Players are helped through these complex assassination puzzles by making use of Agent 47's knowledge and skill-set, represented in the game's "˜Instinct' mechanic. This overlays visual cues and tips onto the player's vision to highlight interactive objects, patrol paths, key targets and so on. It's a system somewhat reminiscent of Assassin's Creed's Eagle Vision, but is implemented in a unique way that fits naturally into the Hitman universe.
Another new element within Absolution is the deep tracking system which keeps a record of all your actions throughout each level. Players earn points for hiding bodies, silently taking-down foes, remaining undetected and generally making use of the game's tools which ultimately count toward online scoreboards and potential in-game rewards. While far from revolutionary, it's a dependable way to encourage a more methodical approach to assassination, which has always been Hitman's greatest strength.
All of these new features, set within the game's beautifully-realized, detailed and open environments, make Hitman: Absolution an exciting prospect for this holiday season. More specifically, Agent 47 hits store shelves November 20th on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

33 Thoughts I Had Watching 'The Hills: New Beginnings' Episode 2
We're back for another episode of The Hills: New Beginnings and I had to be that person but HOLY SHIT I'M READY FOR A FIGHT.
During the premiere last week it was nice catching up with everyone again but god dammit if I don't see a drink being spilt on someone in ep two I want my money back.
A few thoughts I have before watching....will we ever get a Kardashian-Jenner kameo? Will there be a return of the Pam Anderson Pam-eo? Spare a thought for Jason Wahler...is he actually going to be in the show? How can I get a job as Gunner Pratt's assistant?
Alright, episode 2....here are my thoughts:
1. How many Ed Hardy trucker caps had to be resurrected then murdered again to create Justin Bobby's jacket?
2. OMG IT'S JASON!!! I REPEAT, WE HAVE A VISUAL ON JASON!!!! And Ashley (???)
3. Ok the big reunion between Steph and Speidi is upon us. Clearly there is a lot of built up tension but honestly one time when I was in Year 10 I borrowed my older sisters pink Supre dress without asking and she was so so so so so angry at me. But, at the end of the day she forgave me, mostly because my mum told her to, and I'd like to think it's a very similar situation between Spencer and Steph. If me and my sister can move on from the Supre incident then surely so can they.
4. I really don't want to turn these recaps into a gross objectification of men, however it would be remiss of me not to mention how turned on I am by seeing Brody bathing in a marble bath while playing fetch with his drooling Rottweilers. Very bougie and I'm into it.
5. I've said it once (literally just one time last recap) and I'll say it again....me thinks Brody does nart want to be married to his wife Kaitlynn Jenner. I'm not at all writing that because I'm jealous.
6. We stan a Zaddy who's not afraid to dip into his inner Chakra.
7. Now is the time Justin Bobby reveals he was in fact Tom Hanks' body double in Castaway.
8. I can confirm I'd like to NEVER hear the phrase "the sands of Nicaragua" ever ever again.
10. Perez Hilton has entered the room. I...
11. 13-year-old me is positively SCREAMING right now. Perez vs Mischa. Let's go.
12. Ok Perez just went from 0 to 100 real quick. If I may for a moment make comment about the interesting sub-culture that was early 2000s gossip trolling - Perez was the master of it and made a lot of money from tearing celebs down. He should have his comeuppance and I see no better person to deliver that than Mischa. He should shush his mouth and apologise.
13. Damn why babies always gotta be stealing people's thunder? Very rude of Gunner to announce he was coming into this world ON STEPHANIE'S BIRTHDAY. Fuuuuuck.
14. I SEE YOU, PRODUCERS!!! You're planting a future relationship seed between Justin Bobby and Steph. I SEE YOU!!!!
15. I like to picture Spencer and his crystals throughout the day. Him bathing them, him feeding them, him putting them to bed each night. Very special.
16. What kind of psychopath drives with the hazard lights on?
17. Riddle me this - is Steph Pratt running a Prom dress supply company from her living room?
18. Fuuuuuck Justin Bobby is singing. Now this, THIS is television. Can I download the track? Is it on Spotify?
19. "Kaitlynn and I are a fun couple. We're not afraid to do fun things." It might just be my dirty mind but did Brody just admit that he and his wife are swingers?
20. Shaquille O'Neal's son has stepped into the chatroom. Random. But I'll allow it.
21. Brandon having a very mature conversation about becoming sober is making me love him even more.
22. "I'm Brandon Lee and I'm here to fuck shit up," aaaaaand I've lost my boner.
23. Brody admitting that once Caitlyn Jenner shacked up with the Kardashians, he never saw his father. TEA.
24. We don't really deserve Frankie.
25. Abby - Gunner's Assistant - is back. Pray for her. Abby, blink once if you need saving.
26. The perfect man doesn't exi-
"A businessman with an edge"
28. Ok I understand this spon con might anger a few of you. But here's the thing, it costs a lot of money to make a TV show so let's just accept it and move on!!!!
29. A "Make Love Not Meth" t-shirt - where can I get this for my grandma?
30. No shade, but Audrina paid a stylist just to give her a black hat? That's it. That's the whole styling.
31. omg tha classic Prada bug shades.
32. How to get back at a guy when he gaslights you? Tell him you're going on a date with a "business man with an edge" that should do the trick!
33. This is the figure I see in the corner of my room at 3am.
Catch up on The Hills New Beginnings episode 2 below and tune in to watch Tuesdays at 2pm express from the US - only on MTV!

With everyone now able to talk about what they experienced at the Horizon Zero Dawn media event last week, Sony Interactive Entertainment has released a 20-minute quest walkthrough with Guerrilla's David Ford and Dennis Zoetebier. Since the quest takes place in the middle of the game, expect there to be some spoilers.
PlayStation Access, meanwhile, provided some 4K PlayStation 4 Pro gameplay footage and listed 7 Things You Must Do in Horizon Zero Dawn:
Over on the PlayStation Blog, SIEE's Gillen McAllister explained the importance of campfires in Horizon, and how saving works:
Campfires need to be unlocked through discovery, but once you've done so they double up as save points (quick or manual save for alternate save points) and fast travel points. The game will also automatically save during quests.
McAllister also revealed that the eye-like icon at the top middle of the screen displays your stealth status, Aloy's ear-mounted Focus device can scan creatures for weak spots and track things of interest, there's conversation wheels and narrative-driven flashpoints (offering three different approaches to key situations that'll shape Aloy and her relationships), the weapon selection and ammo crafting menu wheel is pulled up by holding L1, you don't have to sit through an unskippable animation when harvesting things like wood or berries, Aloy can slide by tapping Square while running, and you can access Photo Mode from the pause menu, which lets you use the various editing options like Depth of Field, time of day, colorize, and more.
As for progression, the three skill trees let you improve stealth (Prowler), attacks (Brave), or healing and collecting (Forager).
Horizon Zero Dawn releases on February 28 in North America and March 1 in Europe for PS4.
