Nadine Brandt specialises in family lifestyle photography, covering maternity, newborn, families, and grandparents – working both indoors and outdoors. Most importantly, she believes in capturing all those off-guard little moments, creating something real, natural and fun. Something you can treasure and look back on for years to come.
Nadine lives in Richmond with her husband and two girls. She regularly photographs in Richmond-upon-Thames and surrounding areas, but she also travels to the rest of Greater London. She even enjoys photographing in her hometown of Berlin, so if you fancy a trip to this incredible city you now have the perfect excuse!
Nadine is inspired by the ordinary little details that everyday life has to offer, which is why she uses natural light in all of her family photography work. Her style is creative and natural, aiming to document the moments of family life as they unfold, and gently getting you into the best positions for engaging portraits. The photo sessions are relaxed and fun, and very natural.
Nadine also offers commercial photography, which is mainly related to children, documentary style portraits and beautiful products. It keeps her style fresh and original, and provides an abundance of creativity and beauty which filters through into her family photography work and style.
As a mother of two little ones, Nadine knows how chaotic and unpredictable family life can be – and she knows that no two family sessions are ever the same. To her the most important thing is that you have fun and enjoy each other's company – you may even forget that she's there! Your photographs will be natural, authentic and will convey what you are all about.
Nadine is very happy to meet you at your home, explore the outdoors with you, visit a favourite location, or a combination of all three. If you're worried that space could be an issue, then don't be – you don't need a lot of space to achieve a great variety of images.
Nadine's price packages are very simple and transparent, so you won't get any nasty surprises. Gift vouchers are also available, and make a lovely present. Nadine offers two types of sessions (short or longer), and gift vouchers can either be purchased as a card or digital version. Both are valid for 12 months.

Ozmens' SNC Marks 50th Moon Landing Anniversary in U.S. & Europe
SPARKS, Nev. (July 16, 2019) – Sierra Nevada Corporation is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing at events across the country and in Europe, honoring the legacy of NASA missions in laying the groundwork for current and future space innovation. "I vividly remember hearing about America's achievement on the radio as an 11-year-old girl in Turkey," said Eren Ozmen, who came to the U.S. to pursue higher education and the American dream before acquiring SNC 25 years ago with her husband, Fatih. "It showed me then as now that Americans can truly achieve the impossible, and it laid the groundwork for innovating and opening the space economy of the future."
Among the ways SNC is commemorating the historic accomplishment:
- July 17: SNC kicks off season-long partnership with the Colorado Rockies, featuring a model of the Dream Chaser® spacecraft, first pitch thrown out by former NASA space shuttle commander, astronaut and U.S. Air Force pilot Steve Lindsey, VP of SNC's Space Exploration Systems, and SNC sponsorship of Smithsonian-donated replica of Neil Armstrong's spacesuit at Coors Field;
- July 20: SNC Chairwoman, President & owner Eren Ozmen joins Vice President Mike Pence at National Space Council Apollo 11 celebration at Kennedy Space Center, FL;
- July 20: SNC CEO & owner Fatih Ozmen joins John Travolta at the 2019 Living Legends of Aviation Europe event in Salzburg, Austria, when LLOA debuts the "Dream Chaser" award to visionary leaders in aviation;
- Various: Apollopalooza celebration at Wings Over the Rockies museum in Denver, including careers focus by SNC VP of International Business Sita Sonty, and SNC's Space Systems business area presentation on space activities;
- Ongoing: SNC sponsors tribute at Nevada Discovery Museum in Reno to Apollo 11 anniversary, with 10-foot Dream Chaser model, Astro Garden® system display, and virtual reality tour of SNC's moon-orbiting Gateway concept.

Google Counts Calories In Food Porn, Free Amazon Shipping On Small Items [Tech News Digest]
Google counts calories, Amazon ships potatoes, Steam offers refunds, Caitlyn Jenner tweets, Bethesda teases Fallout 4, and Bing launches its own self-driving car.
Google is developing technology that can count the number of calories in a plate of food from nothing but a photograph. The artificial intelligence project known as Im2Calories will be able to guesstimate the calories present in a photo of any foodstuff.
Im2Calories does this by analyzing the pixels in an image, identifying the foodstuff, figuring out its size and weight, and using "sophisticated deep-learning algorithms" to determine the number of calories present.
Google researcher Kevin P Murphy announced the project at the Rework Deep Learning Summit. He later told Popular Science, "To me it's obvious that people really want this and this is really useful. OK fine, maybe we get the calories off by 20%. It doesn't matter. We're going to average over a week or a month or a year."
This would actually give people a legitimate excuse for posting endless photographs of their food Photographing Food? 6 Tips To Help You Make That Dish Look Appetizing Do you know what's better than sitting down to an amazing meal? Taking pictures of it, of course. With that said, some food photos… Well, they just plain suck. Read More on social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook. Which is the last thing we need.

Amazon Ships Small & Light Items for Free
Online retail giant Amazon will now ship small and light items for free within the United States. "Fulfillment by Amazon Small and Light," as the new service is called, means U.S. residents can get free shipping without the need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber or place a minimum order amount.
According to Bloomberg, "Fulfillment by Amazon Small and Light" is available on items weighing no more than 8 ounces (230 grams), most of which come from third-party retailers. Items will be shipped from Kentucky, and take between four and eight business days to arrive.
This might not seem a big deal, especially as it only counts for items around the size and weight of a potato. However, the price of these small items can double when shipping is added, so this could save some people a lot of money over the course of a year. It also paves the way for Amazon Prime Air, which promises deliveries of smaller items by flying drones Amazon Delivery Drones, Facebook Hack, Kindle Fire Vs iPad Air [Tech News Digest] Amazon aerial drones, Facebook friends list hack, Google Nexus handsets vulnerability discovered, Black Friday numbers are released, Steam introduces user reviews, and the Kindle Fire HDX is compared favorably to the iPad Air.

Steam Offers Refunds for Any Reason
Valve is now offering refunds for any purchase you make on Steam. Read more: http://t.co/JjBVc1v9E5
— Steam Database (@SteamDB) June 2, 2015
Steam, the digital distribution platform from Valve, is now offering refunds on games. As long as a game has been bought within the last 14 days and has been played for less than two hours, the purchaser can get a no-questions-asked refund for any reason. This is, on the face of it, a very good thing, and something that Steam users Why I'm No Longer Buying Games On Steam [Opinion] Steam is now approaching 10 years old. Its impact has been undeniable.

However, Steam Refunds means DRM-free titles could be copied and then refunded, short indie titles could be played in full and then refunded, and people could buy a game just to give it a bad review before seeking a refund. In other words, this is all far from perfect.
Caitlyn Jenner Breaks Twitter Record

Caitlyn Jenner has broken the record for gaining 1 million followers in the fastest time.

Bethesda Teases Fallout 4 for E3
Bethesda is currently teasing a new Fallout game widely expected to be Fallout 4. At the time of writing, a timer is counting down to zero, which means by the time you're reading this the game may have been revealed in full. Or at least by way of a teaser trailer.
We'll have more details in tomorrow's edition of Tech News Digest, but it looks as though the company is primarily targeting E3 2015 (June 16-18). It looks likely that Fallout 4 will be a cross-gen title appearing on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and possibly even PS3 and Xbox 360.
Introducing the Bing Self-Driving Car
And finally, Microsoft has revealed the Bing self-driving car, a rival to Google's self-driving car How Self-Driving Cars Work: The Nuts and Bolts Behind Google's Autonomous Car Program Being able to commute back and forth to work while sleeping, eating, or catching up on your favorite blogs is a concept that is equally appealing and seemingly far-off and too futuristic to actually happen.

OK, so as you may have already guessed this isn't real, and Microsoft isn't working on a self-driving car of its own. At least as far as we know. Instead, this is a just a parody video from the funsters at Rooster Teeth. Still, it could happen one day. Maybe.
Your Views on Today's Tech News
Do you want Google counting your calories? Will you be using Amazon's free shipping on small items? Have you ever wanted a Steam refund? Are you following Caitlyn Jenner on Twitter? Are you looking forward to Fallout 4? Would you ever step into a real self-driving car powered by Bing?

The Flan Blanco is an enemy in Final Fantasy X-2. It is only slightly tougher than most of the other Flan enemies, but not by much. Fire-elemental attacks are once again the best and quickest way of taking it down. Its Blizzara is nothing to fret about at all.
Fiend Arena
To enter the Aeon Cup in the Fiend Arena, the player must capture and raise the story levels of eight special creatures. These creatures will immediately be available to be released upon capture, however, what the player has to do is raise their story levels by three and then release them. This will change that particular creature into an Aeon. The Flan Blanco is one of these eight creatures, capable of being changed into Shiva.
Blanco is Spanish for "white".

I often struggle to understand why our collective experience, knowledge and intelligence hasn't sorted out so many of the problems we face as a society...
I was reminded today about the 80:20 rule as we struggle to understand how we manage the challenges that lie ahead with the spending review. In case you don't know what I am talking about, in 1906, the Italian economist Pareto noticed that 80 percent of the land in Italy was owned by 20 percent of the people. He went on to notice that this rule seemed to apply to all sorts of other things. This concept is known as the "Pareto Principle," or the "The 80:20 Rule."
- Pick an area of your work where you feel there is an opportunity to strip out and refocus.
- Try identifying the activities that are having the most impact on outcomes.
- Find ways to spend more time on these activities.
- Find ways to eliminate the other things that are getting in the way.
Reading through the history and Pareto's work he also suggested that human beings are not, for the most part, motivated by logic and reason but by sentiment which explains a lot!

Weatherford launches tubular running automation technology Vero
Vero will enhance safety, improve operational efficiencies and reduce the number of people in the red zone by up to 70%
Weatherford International launched today Vero automated connection integrity, an artificial intelligence solution to minimise safety risks and validate well integrity without human error.
"Vero is the most disruptive technology to ever hit the tubular running services industry," said Dean Bell, president of well construction at Weatherford. "It's very exciting. It brings in artificial intelligence, finally, to an area that was devoid of technology and allows us to very precisely control the makeup of tubulars that are installed permanently in the well and to evaluate them."
Vero employs two new proprietary features: AutoMakeup™ technology, which precisely controls the makeup of tubular connections automatically, and AutoEvaluate™ software, which continually assesses torque against original equipment manufacturer specifications. By applying artificial intelligence from pipe manufacturing to well installation, Vero removes the uncertainty of human judgment from the connection process.
Weatherford says this will minimise the chance of catastrophic well failures associated with poorly made connections, as well as significantly reduce the total cost of well ownership, minimise safety risks, and protect corporate reputation.
"By replacing the inherent flaws of human judgment with AutoMakeup and AutoEvaluate technologies, Vero goes beyond tubular running," Bell said. "We expect it to minimize the associated risks, both onshore and offshore, and help our customers to consistently and reliably build wells that last a lifetime."
In trial tests, Vero ran seven completions in offshore Azerbaijan with more than 2,900 connections, and in the North Sea made up more than 1,200 completion connections with no connection damage. The company says it delivered fives times more makeup consistency than usual and achieved a record run rate.

Denis Leary. He tweets.
Actor Denis Leary has a new book — Suck On This Year — which offers Leary-esque ruminations on 2010 in the form of tweets.
Here are the cleanest selections I could find.
Anybody want to add their own take on the year in 140 characters or less?
1. Lebron goes to Miami. Cleveland announces Going Out of Business Sale.
2. Judge: Wesley Snipes must spend 3 years in jail. Not for tax evasion. The Blade Trilogy.
3. Doctors: attention deficit disorder can destroy a marriage. I think I speak for all husbands when I say: 'You seen my keys?'
4. Scientists discover traces of water on asteroid. Call me when they find scotch.
5. Lettuce recalled in 23 states. Experts fear it could affect up to 5 Americans.
6. Twitter is about to announce a new pay model. For 25 bucks a month you never hear from Ashton Kutcher again.
7. Larry King puts divorce on hold. And another one on mariage forwarding.

Website: http://convergence.enjin.com -=What is Convergence?=- Opened in December of 2014, Convergence: The Lost City is an original, paragraph-oriented roleplay community that combines fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural and steampunk elements in a city magically preserved at the end of a recent near-apocalypse. 2023: In a world devastated by the engineered disease D-13, a disease which turned the bulk of the human population into psychopaths and cannibals, the city of Convergence appeared suddenly off of the Oregon coast. Like several other cities which survived the disease's ravages, Convergence is protected by strange forces. Unlike most others, though, this unique city is shrouded in mystery, and possessed of powerful magics. Supernaturals of many races, only recently having emerged from the shadows of myth, compete with stragglers from the cyborg death squads, robots, and the last remaining humans to survive, attempt to find meaning in the world in the wake of pandemic. -=What are the features?=- *Thirteen races and dozens of sub-races. Races include: Humans, Mages, Mutants, Cyborgs, Robots, Vampires, Shifters, Fae, Angels, Demons, Yokai, and Wraiths. Sub-races include: Imps, Merfolk, Drow, Duergar, Faun, Satyrs, Minotaurs, Centaurs and more. * Thirteen different factions, each with their own areas and spheres of influence on the sim. * Original, Multi-genre lore: Our compelling lore spans several genres, allowing you to decide if you want to focus on sci-fi aspects, go a bit more post-apoc, immerse yourself in steampunk or fantasy, or just be very modern and urban. *Magic: Over 25 different types of magic, with many "extras" to augment and specialize your character. Specialized mutations, augmentations, and powers. Human abilities on par with supernatural ones. A system is in place to request specialized and unique magics based on your character and creativity. *XP and HUD: Free optional XP system, allowing people to grow their characters, based on participation rather than on presence on the sim. Our optional HUD lets everyone know the "weather" on sim, as well as the phases of the moon, and provides tools such as titlers and post-order devices to help you RP. Please note: these are OPTIONAL and not at all required to roleplay in Convergence! *Numerous monthly events: We have several different events planned every week, from social gatherings, to quests, to combats, to plots run by our STs. Check out the calendar on our webpage for more! *Great community, friendly players: Convergence prides itself on being accepting, friendly, and overall a great community OOC. Our staff adheres to a strict ethics code. And we pride ourselves on listening to player suggestions and input, and letting the players "drive the story". We even have incentives in place to help promote RP with new players and new characters. *And Much, Much More! But not ducks. Except, maybe a duckmoose. -=Where can I learn more?=- Come by and visit: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wasteland/170/224/1203 For info on our races, magics, skills, and how to apply to Convergence: The Lost City, stop by our website: http://convergence.enjin.com Alternately, drop in to our sim and chat with any of our mentors - they're happy to help you get started and answer questions about the application process!

Due to this understanding of them being holy, it is believed that Gaia brought forth the creation of the Pride race of humans., carry them forth upon herself and planting them on Pride. The first of these humans was known as the Director a godly figure lost to time. To remain in his stead were his three bodies of creation The Envoy, The Engineer, and The Baron. Each ethnicity and culture is believed to descend from one of these holy bodies, creating the three regions. All brought forth by Gaia through the Director, and all descended from there on. Gaia is god, The Director is god's son and savior of bloodlines, and the three holy bodies that fall from him are the life. Gaia The Harbinger, The Bringer of Life. The Director, The Savior.

The Continental Guard serves as the military police force within the Continental Republic. Its purpose is to provide law enforcement, infrastructural security, and aid as an emergency rescue element be it a para-medical, fire, or a search and rescue situation. They are the first line of defense against threats to the Republic.

The Lancers are a contingent of diplomatic soldiers, purposed in serving The Ministry and it's interests. In a matter which requires absolute perseverance, these are the operators to call on. Often considered the Royal Officers of the Military, they serve as an example for all other Guardsman hoping to show true loyalty and commitment to The UCR. They have each earned the right to hold a lance; a powerful Mana transferring conduit, expelling all use of other weapons in honor of the Republic. The lance is not merely a weapon of their trade, but a tool of their craft. Each Lance is matched with a Mana Sigil that is specific to each individual Lancer. Such as in the case Sir Sageous Cerulean the Immaculate Lancer, some Lancers learn to superiorly master the use of their Sigil in order to channel enough Mana to do without the weapon, and still be effective in the use of Mana Based Combat applications. 0.

Combat System: Dice Based At the third week of each month an Activity Attendance Report is sent out in a notice via "your character's faction". This is done in order to track progress and activity between characters. Each report given to the players will be granted a week before level rewards are given out. At the beginning of each month the level rewards requests will be sent to the GMs for review, and then the Faction Leaders will post the level rewards for that month. Internal faction promotions do not coincide with Combat Rank, though it is a common rule of thumb that most ranks are to be aligned with an average level for each rank. Promotions are granted bi-weekly, whereas combat system ranks are granted monthly. Name: Date: Faction (if any): 1. [Faction Name] (If any) Character: 1.

Arcadian Rapture is celebrating 10 years of SL and decided that we should offer SIM design to the public! We have worked on sims ranging from breedables markets to RPGs including clubs, sandboxes, and much more. Some popular designs include: Art Deco Scifi / Neon Steampunk, Fairy Forests, Modern to Scifi Clubs, Floating Themed Skylands, Adult theme dungeons, and more! Details: ARS has an inventory of about 5000 products including material mesh, material textures, effects, scripts, etc. This allows us to create almost any virtual space you require. ARS will not create new mesh for you, however we can retexture and recolor easily. ARS sells full perm or copy mod depending on what you wish to do for your sim. It would be easy to start a small store for your sim if people enjoy the surroundings. If you wish to see our inventory: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WIKKED COVE/167/87/1176 Below is a snapshot of our lobby so you can see an example of our work.

Metaverse City opens on March 31st ...come apply now! Mature Themes, Violence, and NO bigotry allowed ooc. CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE APPLICATION POSITIONS ( Original Characters and all Fandom Characters Welcome! If you'd like a position not named, just message the admins! ) The Metaverse is set in present day, on an Alternate Earth and Alternate Universe, allowing for the Multiverse concept of endless valid realities. It is a mingling of Futuristic Sci Fi and Steampunk elements. Their Time is not the same as ours. It was once London ... and even now aspects of old London may be seen here and there, denoted 'Legacy' and fiercely protected. Once ..a magnificent Big Ben stood in the City still, well loved. But it was bombed out of existence, and the people know who they blame, while the real culprit as ever remains in the shadows. But then there's now a common scapegoat for everything. Perhaps we need to explain what's happened. Ten years ago, they came. The Strangers, the Otherworlders, the Refugees. Alien filth, space trash, the names for them go on and on. Freaks has become the most common, and the original use of the word has become lost in its everyday useage as derogatory. They come from a diverse collection of planets. Metaverse City, often simply called The City, is the last bastion of life on the this Planet Earth, where the survivors have built their Brave New World. The City is graced by a massive main Tower, the center of Government and Administration. Metaverse City is the last place on the planet inhabitable, after the Last War. Outside, there are Wastelands and post apoc scenes of horror. Dead cities lay in silence now, billions of bodies long rotted. Most all animal and plant life perished in the War. Food now is created in synthetic form. The Time Lords who have often come here have helped in this tremendously. Clean water is likewise manufactured. But even a ravaged Earth might seem a paradise to some. Ten years ago, as they count Time, The Ark was seen in the sky, a gigantic spacecraft bringing the Refugees from another War, this one battled in the cold reaches of countless dying planets. The City found itself a place of refuge to these thousands from beyond this world - for better or worse. That War was the Time War of their Gallifrey, and this one involved many Systems and trillions of deaths ..countless, literally. Since the Refugees came, everything changed. They're everywhere, of course now, and that means hate, intolerance, fear, suspicion and outright murder from some quarters, and from others, intermarriage, mixed species children, a dozen new possibilities brought to fruition from the adept technological sorcery of the Refugee scientists, saints and doctors. Many of them are Gallifreyans, not all Time Lords and Ladies, some are the lower class Shobogans, and these ironically have been accepted far better as being closer to 'normal'. This has become the place of Sanctuary, designated a haven for them to assimilate and acquire the skills they will need to live among the humans of the Earth. To go from being cosmic hobos cast off in an unending sea of space, to being trusted and productive members of this society of mankind. "Alien" has become a slur, now, and they prefer to be called either Refugees or Newcomers. Some of them don't like any labels at all. Some look human. Some do not. Some are human, in fact and form. But all are now here for good, since the Ark destroyed itself in the Landing, all those years ago. But there's more to the story. Something else has happened to the Metaverse. Something past unusual, something of madness itself. The people discuss it in terms of enigmatic and uncanny, but no one as yet will say it. "Gold" has come to mean something else now, than the beguiling metal that now may be had for a fraction its worth. People are dying. After all, that's what people do. But they aren't staying dead. No, they don't return as zombies, drooling and shambling in desperate and final hunger, feasting on flesh. It isn't flesh at all, they seek. Nothing is blatant or terrifying, all is film noir tones of hushed grey, softness and almost sweet, like the tender aura of a mausoleum's fragrant chemicals. What they hunger for is called Artron, and it's become the new addiction of those who prefer to avoid death's chilly ways and means. Artron, brought here by a rogue Time Lord of the Gallifreyan race, and now seen as the giver - and taker - of Life itself. "Gold" ...is now slang for Artron. The Fountain of Youth is guarded by dragons merciless and mad, and if you want to stay alive ... you better find a way to pay the new Lords of Life. And just who are they, who dole out the stuff of dreams as they threaten nightmares all the same? Preying on people's growing fear and prejudice, the Crime Lords are rising. A shadow organization called the MIB - the Men in Black - strikes terror in the hearts of the Metaversians now. And the stories are only increasing. What the Men in Black giveth, so they may take away.. Want your loved one brought back? Want to ensure you yourself never know death's kiss? No worries, but it will cost you. They'll take organs, the forfeit of a child, a favour ... as well as cash. Gold can be had for many prices, but the MIB control it all. Those who try to muscle in on the market find themselves worse than dead. Much worse. And just by the way, don't think it takes just one dose of the magic potion. Oh no, it only works that way for Gallifreyans. if you want to stay alive, you're going to need a fix every week. Every seven days ... no matter what. Be sure you can afford to stay alive, or buy life for your child or parent or ... significant other. There are penalties for failing to stay on the 'Stuff'. Ones you don't want to find out about. Ones that make the original idea of death natural and normal seem like a walk in the park. Once you commit, the MIB feel you've signed on for ...pardon the pun, 'life'. Time Lords, Crime Lords. The line is blurred now. The Men In Black is ruled by James Moriarty and his partner Sebastian 'Tiger' Moran. Two men of this world, very much human, very much out for domination. Yet Jim isn't really motivated by that half as much as the ones in his organization are. For him, it's the Game. The Game with Sherlock Holmes, sometime lover and eternal check and balance. The two play a long and deadly game of chess on a board comprised of living pawns, and often even Sherlock seems to forget that horror is coming in the wake of this Game. Even Sherlock becomes obsessed. The source of the Artron is none other than the Master - now the Mistress - herself. With no real conscience in these matters to hold her back, and very little true sanity, she has allied with a man who seems to her a kindred spirit. Why, she can even forgive Jim for being human! She supplies, and he deals. Both are in this for more than profit or power - both are playing a Game with their Significant Others. For the Time Lady, her nemesis is the Doctor .. and there are many of them, out of TIme, out of Space, who come here to M City. But the Web, as the MIB are sometimes known, goes far deeper. Their talons are in most of the crime that happens in the City. And some say .. out there in the big bad Cosmos as well. What of the people who live here? Who are they, besides the criminals and their foes? Besides the deadly, who else lives and breathes in the altered world? There is a Legal and Governing System, a bit basic, with a Legate who is the head of what remains of Earth. There is a Council, based on the Time Lord Council but comprised of Earthian humans only at this time - though that is being hotly contested. The Legate has the final say, the Council advise but may not overrule them. He or she truly does have the final word. Legacy is determined by a ten year recurring election, and a General Election occurs. The Refugees have only last year won the right to vote and participate in this. A well loved Refugee, Reno Urar, campaigned for - and won - the Legacy. This was a catalyst for many legal debates as well as outright hatred and chaos over his victory. For all basic intents and purposes, he had chosen to run for Legate on the platform of Refugee Equality, because some of them could not even legally marry, their children were likely to be taken for spurious reasons, and it was difficult for them to find employment - and in many cases - even make enough to survive. But as the refugee population was now actually higher than that of the Earth Humans now, when he obtained the backing of powerful and unseen allies, and was able to run, he was elected in a landslide. But while he was running, Reno was shot and injured very badly, and someone who had Gold on them gave it to him to save his life. When the MIB found this out, they very heavily backed him, despite him being a Refugee, because they figured they could manipulate him - use him to keep their business safe and not targeted by law enforcement as it typically is. In other words, they believed they would own the Candidate. Day after day, the City lives on, despite the discord and divisions. After all, people still have to live. Have to eat, work, have families and protect them. And the City offers much. There is a sprawling Scientific Tower, as well as a Medical Tower. Science and Medicine are highly regarded professions. But people are so afraid. So very afraid. The MIB smile at their fear. And the MIB strongly oppose rights for the Refugees. The Mistress herself opposes this, because she prefers to cause havoc from the shadows, and the thought of a Doctor in power here .. gives her a nasty chill. Not the good sort. The people battle the concept of death with the Gold, and the Web keeps them terrified and needy, many, many are now spared from death only to be hooked on Artron. Their newly restored lives are now hostage to a merciless keeper, and the MIB's Web casts a pall over their every hour. Who will you be here? So many possibilities. Raise a family, struggle against the MIB - or ally with them, oversee the rule of law in the streets, delve into medicine or science, work for Refugee rights - or against them. Be a criminal, be a hero, be one of the thousands just wanting a life here. Be living on borrowed Time as a slave to the Gold .. or deal it in the underworld. Oh, but have a care. It's getting late. And the Spider moves on his Web ............

Possession can be a tricky thing to play in a game. PCs who are possessed will no longer be in control of their actions, and you need to have them behave in certain ways to act out the results of the possession. And those results can often be things detrimental to the success of the party.
Just remember that for PCs to come up with things detrimental to the party, you don't necessarily have to resort to possession.
In the real world of the Egons & Ectoplasms universe, of course, Ghostbusters doesn't exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as mad scientists with beautiful daughters) do, albeit modified by the lack of Ghostbusters:
- Ghostballs is a serious documentary about orbs and will-o'-the-wisps.
- Bill Murray is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.
- Dan Aykroyd is known primarily for his role in Twilight Zone: The Movie.
- Nerdy guys make YouTube videos of themselves walking tightropes instead of crossing the streams.
- Without the success of Ghostbusters to spark interest in comedy-horror, Little Shop of Horrors was never revived with a musical movie and stage show, and remains an obscure film.
- Scooby Doo was never made into a movie. Hanna-Barbera fans never had it so good.
- The major comedy horror background that pervades all of Western culture is The Munsters, despite it never being much good. The original film was remade recently into a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
- Throughout the 1980s, all the greatest Hollywood blockbusters were big-budget romantic thrillers.
- The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on Jason and the Argonauts.
GM: Suddenly, the phone rings...
[SFX]: Riiiing! Riiiing!
Spengler: {into phone} Ghostbusters. Dr Spengler speaking.
GM: Dana is rambling deliriously. Annie, can you read these lines?
Dana: {delirious} I am Zuul... I am The Gatekeeper... Gozer, The Destructor, shall be released...
Venkman: {into phone} Venkman. I'm at Dana's place. Looks like she's been possessed. By someone claiming to be The Gatekeeper.
Spengler: Gatekeeper?
Louis: Gatekeeper! The Keymaster seeks the Gatekeeper!!
Spengler: Louis has been possessed by The Keymaster.
Venkman: Keymaster? Gate, key... Wait, I get the feeling there's something we need to do here.
Venkman: Let's bring them together!
Spengler: {to Janine} Venkman's got a plan.
Janine: I'll just go increase our business insurance.

I am sure by now most of you have seen the Pure Michigan adds on TV. If not, I'll post a video in the comment section of this part of the blog. The voice over was done by Tim Allen who is very loyal to Michigan. He has a beautiful sailboat which he "parks" in Frankfort every summer. Here he can be himself, walk around, go into a restaurant or store and no one will bother him. He's just another guest and I think that is wonderful.
5 thoughts on "Pure Michigan"
I love the new version of your blog. The Michigan commercial is playing here in NJ. I've seen two versions. One version has clips of a fishing wharf. I've seen the same pics on MMM 1 TR on MB.
Growing up in lower Michigan I have been going "Up North" for vacation ever since I was small. We have since moved and live in central Indiana. My husband and I have traveled many places around the world and still I get excited, day dreaming about our next trip "Up North."
Lake Michigan is like a giant ocean where you don't have to worry about jelly fish or sharks. You can walk for miles on the beach, the water is clear and the trees are beautiful. I noticed a painting my aunt had of Point Betsey in her livingroom about 20 years ago. We got directions and stopped to see it once on our way home from Mackinaw Island. We have been coming up to Frankfort ever since, it's our very favorite place. I'm counting the days until our next trip up.

When I sat in my Pantera before dismantle I noticed that the steering wheel was low, almost touching my legs. I do not like that and I was already thinking of a way to sort it, like a more dished steering wheel. That would bring the steering wheel shorter to my chest but also higher.
After dismantling the interior and cleaning I found THIS:
It is welded poorly and that scares me already but why would someone do this?

Each week, I open up the thesis proposal I wrote in March to re-evaluate my research goals and scroll down to the timetable that I'd created with my adviser.
Looking at it, I'm realizing that I need to adjust the deadlines I'd set for myself. There were several unanticipated bumps along the road that had kept me from completing the bulk of my fieldwork for my research by the end of September.
I felt disappointed and frustrated. Now that I had classes Monday through Friday, I wondered whether or not I could make up for a few months of fieldwork. For days, I contemplated over how I would reallocate my timetable and it proved to be extremely difficult. Without any data, I struggled to imagine the extent of my abilities to conduct interviews while juggling classes. It's easy to schedule in time where I work on my literature review and put together my poster for a presentation for a Dietrich College Family Weekend event, but the interviews will require a few hours that include commute time, the actual duration of the interview and the time it will take for me to transcribe the recorded interview and reflect on the interviews as part of the analysis.
The longer I wait for the IRB to approve of my study, the more anxious I am. Whenever anyone asks me how my research is going, I feel a knot in my stomach because all I've accomplished in the last week is adding a few more articles to my annotated bibliography.
I still see my FORGE family on the weekends and it's amazing how a few hours with them helps me relax. I relax because the conversations I have with them are not about my research. I relax because I can sit on their couch with them and watch Hindi movies without subtitles. I relax because they're looking forward to celebrating the upcoming Nepali holiday. I relax because being present with them reminds me why I was motivated in the first place to pursue my thesis.
I'm looking forward to my weekends as soon as my IRB proposal is approved, because I will be having conversations with a community that reminds me of the importance of the present.
It's ironic to me that as I constantly think about narrative inquiry, one of the methods I am using for my research, I realize that it's much easier to talk the talk than walk the walk. Narrative inquiry is a methodology that encourages researchers to value the lived experiences of their subjects.
Lekkie Hopkins, who advocates using narrative inquiry in refugee research, wrote, "Researchers must understand that if storying is to grapple with the richness and complexity of lived experience, it will probably be chaotic and messy, as well as clear and straightforward. Researchers wanting to investigate the sociology of refugee experiences might be well advised to ensure that the stories they gather from research participants are not too neat, too straightforward, too much reduced to bare essentials in their telling, lest the chance to allow the stories to become personally and politically resonant be lost."
I remember reading Lekkie Hopkins in March of this year and interestingly, I'm looking back at her abstract and making a connection to my own narrative as well as the narratives of the refugees I hope to hear soon. My own narrative, or my own lived experience, will be messy and chaotic at times and that's how it should be.
I know that this sounds cliché, but it really is important to live in the present. Too much time is spent organizing, and reorganizing, my Google calendar. I've adjusted my timetable, come to terms with it and moved on.

Face making 101
Remember in grade school when anyone said something you didn't like you'd make a face at them? Whatever happened to that stress releasing technique as we get older? Some of us catch on that weird faces aren't attractive, and heaven forbid we should look anything but cover-model ready in the real world. For others, society gently messages right out of us the make-a-face-when-someone-upsets-you strategy by making us feel weird and ostracized if we go around making faces at strangers.
So we grow up and leave our face making days behind, and slowly, while behaving primly as society suggests, tension and ugly feelings build up. We shove food in our mouths to
push it down, drink too much, and possibly have sex with too many not-good-for-us
people. The list goes on and on. All because we've forgotten how to make really ugly faces. (I understand the solution isn't that simple – but it might be!)
Lynne's theory
The world would be a better place if we all did the Lion Pose.
It is a Yoga pose meant to release stress from the face and neck with other side benefits, but I've got good news for you, it relieves negative feelings, too.
Think John Coffey in The Green Mile – remember how he roared out the bad stuff?
You can roar out your uglies and foulness by doing the Lion Pose. Sounds like a reasonable thing to do, if it means you won't bite someone's head off for no particular reason, or grumble at poor unsuspecting public servants – granted some of them deserve it! –or cuss out your spouse for not being perfect. You get the drill.
Kids have all the fun
When my daughter and son were toddlers, I signed us up for Mommy and Me courses given at the local adult school and sponsored by the nearby community college. We had some great times there, I developed some close friendships with other mothers, and I got to watch my kids interact with their toddlers buddies.
Before the instructor had the kids sit in a circle to listen to a story, she'd always play a song called Shake My Sillies Out. By jumping around and shaking their hands, arms, and legs, the children made room for quiet time. I think that teacher was on to something …for
adults, too!
Lynne's Big Plan
Why not get out those ugly, foul feelings by doing the lion pose every morning? Let's release our built up stress, frustration, and anger by roaring it away.
Okay, everyone circle up, sit on your haunches, hands on your knees, on the count of three…
Question to commenters: What do you do to relieve stress? Are you open to making faces?
Until next week, make it a great one!
