Seven Years In London: Smoke, Mirrors and the Sweet Smell of Road-Tar
This painting is by John Atkinson Grimshaw, a Victorian painter whose works have elements of the Pre-Raphaelites and JMW Turner. He is well known for his cityscapes, including London, Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow, and he is set to become one of my favourite artists, I think. This particular work shows a street in Borough, south London.
On 27 July 2012, as far as I've been able to ascertain (from looking up my old BMI flight reservations), it was seven years since I moved to London - which means that I am only about a month late with this entry. It was an odd day; hardly what I would have expected. Two days earlier I had suffered a mishap at home when a sharp-edged object fell over and left me with a nasty cut on my face. The NHS, bless them, offered me a plastic surgeon, so 27 July found me at St Thomas's Hospital to get stitched up. It was also the day of the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics (perhaps worth an entry in itself, especially if I can find an appropriate poem.) I later watched some of it at home, feeling a bit miserable, but I found the British history section spectacular and moving.
Too many posts about London already, you might be thinking, but it's a well that never runs dry for me. There can never be an end to writing, thinking and dreaming about a great city, as well as just getting out into its streets and experiencing it. When I moved, I thought it likely that I would stay longer than my time in Dublin - three years - but I surpassed that long ago, and I don't have plans to leave. I'm one of those misfits of the world who is more at home in London than anywhere else, it seems.
I recently read Craig Taylor's Londoners, subtitled The Days and Nights of London Now - As Told by Those Who Love It, Hate It, Live It, Left It and Long for It. Craig Taylor is a Vancouver Islander who has adopted London, just like me (although I hasten to add that he is from Nanaimo, and I am from Victoria. I met him briefly at a publishing networking event a few years ago and we chatted a little, mainly about the ex-pat thing and the Island. He had dared to say something about the class-ridden nature of the publishing industry, which mostly met with embarrassed looks and nervous giggles. I nearly cheered.) Not surprisingly, I found the book totally beguiling - even the commentaries by people who hate the place. There was so much that was familiar in it, but seen through a variety of different lenses. The City boy, the airline pilot, the dominatrix - it was rather odd to find echoes of my own feelings and my London moments in these lives. There were passages which I found incredibly resonant, almost as though they'd been taken straight out of my brain:
Places make the best lovers. You can trust a place more than you can trust a person as a lover. A place is more dependable and it has so much depth and stimulation and provides you with the opportunity to realize yourself. The place reflects you, provides you with stimulation, the ability to realize potential. If it's a good place it makes you feel stronger, makes you cleverer and more powerful. I did a walk with someone from the centre of the City to Soho, just taking a beeline, and on that walk ended up going into the Temple Church in the middle of the Temples so I was back in the twelfth century after already having gone into the Black Friar pub, an Arts and Crafts pub, and walking through the centre of Covent Garden and ending up in a Chinese restaurant having dim sum. Now there are not many people who can give you that much stimulation, but being with a person and having the ability to have that friend, London, as a companion throughout gives you a wonderful extra dimension to anything you do. I think of London as a partner. I'm in love with London and always have been. (Peter Rees, City Planning Officer, City of London)
The trouble with this sort of thing - which I find almost entirely true - is that it can feel as though the city is becoming your primary relationship: basically, not good. But very seductive. If there's such a thing as taking a drug in moderation, that would have to be the way to approach London. (I am told by someone who knows, from past experience, that London is like heroin.) When I went back to Canada for a visit a few months ago, I told an old family friend that London pulls you into its patterns and rhythms and tides so that you find yourself breathing in tune with it. Which is both exciting, and sinister.
There was also a passage in Craig Taylor's introduction, where he describes his own London experience, which was extremely familiar:
I hadn't yet become an urban otter - one of those sleek Londoners who moves through the city with ease. They're the ones who seem slow and graceful but are always covering ground, who cross streets without looking back and forth; who know how to fold a newspaper crisply in the middle of a packed Tube train. (Craig Taylor)
Maybe I flatter myself, but I'm pretty sure I've become an urban otter. The best way to move through London is like breathing, like water is your element. I tread more lightly than I used to and I've found ways to flow through a crowd on an Underground platform without hardly touching anyone (these sometimes involve dislocating your hips from your torso - but it's strangely like a dance.) Passing the six-month point in London is pivotal. At that moment, I started to feel like I had a few friends; I also noticed that I was scanning my environment in a different way, and building a sort of transparent/semi-permeable wall around myself, something which allowed me to be more detached and more involved than ever before. Certainly, after years in London you react quite differently to the news of violent crime just down the street than you do during the first six months.
Another recent acquisition is the poetry anthology London, compiled by Mark Ford. It traces London's history and people and life in poetry, from ancient times to the present. I've only dipped into it so far and look forward to further exploration. London is drenched in poetry and this is how I see it, increasingly. It is both a way to shelter myself from harsh realities, and a way to get further and further in, closer to the heart (or hearts) of the city. This summer, during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, there has been a soundscape installation on the Millenium Bridge called Tales from the Bridge. It samples contemporary and historic literature and poetry to give glimpses of the city - mainly the Thames - through the spoken word. I stopped by to experience it recently, and found it quite intriguing.
I've picked out a few London poems which add to the richness of the city's tapestry, and which have a few familiar echoes, as well.
Tamar Yoseloff's 'London Particular' seems very much to be from the city-as-state-of-mind tradition. Sometimes you can see someone's face wherever you look, and all else fades. This poem captures a good deal of London's bleaker aspects, I think. Strangely, it also made me think of my Finnish grandfather, who I never knew because he died before I was born. He was briefly in London in the 1950s when London experienced one of its last pea-souper fogs (or "London particular"). I could very much see him as the gentleman in this poem.
'London Pastoral' by Tobias Hill, another contemporary London poet, is gentler but still gritty. I recognise its smell: "hallways sweet/with the residue of road-tar." London is such a juxtaposition of the ugly and dirty, and the beautiful; this poem is a good example.
Finally, this strange, sad poem by T E Hulme really touches me. The darkness and the bright glancing sparks of it are very London. Hulme was mainly a critic and sometimes a poet, and died on the front in Belgium in 1917.
THE EMBANKMENT (T E Hulme)
(The Fantasia of a Fallen Gentleman on a Cold, Bitter Night)
Once, in finesse of fiddles found I ecstasy,
In a flash of gold heels on the hard pavement.
Now see I
That warmth's the very stuff of poesy.
Oh, God, make small
The old star-eaten blanket of the sky,
That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie.

The Hulme poem was picked by one of my guests in My Favourite Poem (http://davidgreenbooks.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/My%20Favourite%20Poem, 17/5/2009).ReplyDelete
Although admittedly that feature would appear dormant on my website now, it is never closed and anyone is welcome to send me a few lines about their favourite poem.Replies
It is a very unique poem. I would have to think about the "favourite poem" thing. I would have a very hard time choosing...Delete
I love this post. It rings bells with me. I guess any ex-pat would find similarities in their stories. it's funny how a culture can alienate us and embrace us at the same time, indeed like a partner can. And no matter how involved you get with that city you always have a distant longing for home. When you're home you have a longing for the city where you live.ReplyDelete
It's also true that you always find an ally in another ex-pat from the same country as you because they notice the same differences as you, they've gone through the same difficulties and they are often longing for the same things.Replies
Thanks! I think you're right - although ex-pats may live in very different cultures and countries around the world, there probably are some aspects of their experience which are similar.Delete
I really feel that there are certain places especially that you can have a "relationship" with which is almost like a relationship with another human being. I feel more like that about London than the other cities where I've lived. Although - I think my relationship with London may be a bit too dysfunctional to be healthy if it were a relationship with a person! I think the man quoted above who said "places make the best lovers" had a point. In a sense, a place that you love is more reliable than another human being who you love, even if it also drives you crazy at times.

It doesn't matter what your pricing is or how great your portfolio is, there is no way that any one photographer will be the right fit for every photography need even if it's an area that the photographer specializes in.
Headshots, for example, are one of the key areas that I work in. I have found two things to be true when it comes to headshots. First, someone will like my work but not what I offer in the $125 to $190 price range. Second, my portfolio doesn't appeal to them for the style headshot they think they want. But when the portfolio is a match and the pricing is a match, then I am able to move forward and get the session scheduled. If I stay focused on the YES, I can move my business forward. It's when I get stuck on the NO's that can set my business back.
Once a photographer realizes that his or her pricing and/or portfolio will NOT be a match for everyone, the photographer can save themselves a lot of time by moving on to the next potential client. If you like your portfolio, are continuing to improve your portfolio, are closing business on a regular basis from your portfolio, have fair market pricing and regularly close business at your asking price, there is no need to try to be the photographer for everyone. Accept it and move on.

CHARLEMONT, Mass. - Plymouth State University's men's and women's alpine ski teams had to overcome falls by some skiers Friday, and both squads ended up in the middle of the pack in the giant slalom races at the UMass Winter Carnival at Berkshire East Mountain in Western Massachusetts.
The Panther men placed third out of 10 competing teams, while the Panther women were fourth out of 10 schools. The action continues Saturday at the same location with the slalom races.
"We had several skiers fall, so we didn't finish as well as a team as we would've liked," said PSU coach Kim Bownes. "But we saw a lot of good things. I think it shows we should have a pretty good team this year."
PSU had three of the top six finishers among the 80 skiers in the men's race. Sophomore All-American Topher Harlow (North Conway, N.H.) and freshman Jason Hey (Northboro, Mass.) finished third and fourth, respectively, and junior Matt Prendergast (Westminster, Mass.) took sixth. Senior Chad Demetry (Francestown, N.H.) also had a strong race for PSU, placing 13th.
Host UMass won the men's team standings, with Colby-Sawyer finishing runner-up and PSU third. The rest of the teams, in order of finish, included Boston College, Babson, MIT, Saint Anselm, UConn, Brown, and New England College.
Freshman Melissa Caflisch (Clymer, N.Y.) had a terrific collegiate debut for PSU, taking second place among 65 skiers in the women's race. Junior Chantelle Heroux (Cooperstown, N.Y.) followed up with an 11th place, and junior Kelsey Real (Lanesboro, Mass.) finished 29th.
Brown won the women's team standings, with UMass second, Colby-Sawyer third and PSU fourth. Rounding out the field, in order of finish, were Smith, Boston College, Babson, MIT, UConn, and Saint Anselm.
Following Saturday's slalom at Berkshire East, PSU will the host the Plymouth State Winter Carnival next Saturday-Sunday (Jan. 22-23) at Waterville Valley (N.H.)

How To Move A Piano Across Country
Pianos are heavy, bulky, hard, and sensitive musical instruments. Moving them across a room is already tricky. What more, if you have to move it across the country? Now, that can be a problem.
Without proper knowledge, you can damage the music-making machine, scratch your valuable hardwood floor, or damage your lumbar region. You dont want any of that. So, read this article to learn how you can move your piano across the country or just across the room.
Best Tips for Moving a Piano
Consider its weight The piano is one musical beast. Its not an instrument which you can drag across the room using one hand. It is a heavy upright object supported by delicate legs. You dont want those stands to break making your piano unusable. Wherever the location of the move is, ask other people to help you carry your piano. Multiple heads and hands are the keys to transport such a heavy object carefully.
Prepare for the move Other than needing a team, proper equipment and support are also needed. Invest in durable furniture straps that can ease the load on the piano carrying team.
Do also consider buying a furniture dolly. It helps to move large objects on flat surfaces. Furniture dollies are a good support for heavy and big furniture. Two four-wheeled dollies are best for pianos. Place one on each end to save muscle and to reduce chances of having injuries.
One final thing to consider when moving a piano is the proper attire. You dont need a suit cause you and your team are not going to perform. Sneakers and comfortable clothes are enough protection for the moving activity. Remind yourself and your team to remove accessories such as watches or dangling jewelry. You dont want anyones head or ear to be caught in the piano keys.
Hire a professional moving company This is the last thing to consider when moving a piano from one place to another. The truth is that you can move a piano across a room, but you cannot do that across the country. Therefore, hiring a moving company is the only choice. This step is not as hard as the other two. However, ample research is needed.
Research on different the moving companies. Check their services, pricing, and availability before hiring them. Also, take note of reviews from other consumers if they indeed get the job done carefully and efficiently.
Pianos are expensive and valuable musical instruments. The last thing you want is for your dear piano to get damaged. Thats why careful planning and execution of the moving process is needed. You have to consider its physical weight and the required preparations for the actual move to secure your piano from any harm.

In 2002, New York State's Administrative Review Board for Professional Medical Conduct concluded that Joseph Burrascano, M.D., had committed professional misconduct by negligently treating two patients. The review board ordered Burrascano to serve two years of probation during which his practice would be monitored by another physician acceptable to the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC). Burrascano, who practices in East Hampton, New York, specializes in treating Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases. Some of his diagnostic and treatment approaches (including long-term antibiotic administration to treat Lyme disease) do not conform to widely accepted medical guidelines. However, the licensing authorities did not order him to stop using them. The accusation and OPMC findings are posted on Casewatch. The outcome of the case many have been influenced by like-minded physicians and hundreds of patients who rallied to his support.
In the Matter of
Joseph Burrascano, M.D. (Respondent)
A proceeding to review a Determination by a Committee (Committee) from the Board for Professional Medical Conduct (BPMC)
Administrative Review Board (ARB)
Determination and Order No. 01-265
Before ARB Members Grossman, Lynch, Pellman, Price and Briber
Administrative Law Judge James F. Horan drafted the Determination
For the Department of Health (Petitioner): Leslie Eisenberg & Roy Nemerson, Esqs.
For the Respondent: Alan Lambert, Esq.
After a hearing below, a BPMC Committee determined that the Respondent committee professional misconduct in treating two patients and the Committee voted to place the Respondent on probation for six months. In this proceeding pursuant to N.Y. Pub. Health Law §230-c(4)(a)(McKinney's 2002), both parties ask the ARB to nullify or modify that Determination. The Petitioner asks that the ARB make Findings of Fact and sustain additional charges against the Respondent. The Respondent requests that we dismiss the charges the Committee sustained and overturn the penalty the Committee imposed. After reviewing the hearing record and the review submissions from each party, the ARB affirms the Committee's Determination on the charges, but we modify the penalty, to increase the period on probation from six months to two years.
Committee Determination on the Charges
The Petitioner commenced the proceeding by filing charges with BPMC alleging that the Respondent violated N. Y. Educ. Law §§ 6530(2-6),6530(32) & 6530(35)(McKinney 2002) by committing professional misconduct under the following specifications:
– practicing medicine fraudulently,
– practicing medicine with negligence on more than one occasion,
– practicing medicine with gross negligence,
– practicing medicine with incompetence on more than one occasion,
– practicing medicine with gross incompetence,
– failing to maintain accurate patient records, and,
– ordering excessive tests, treatments or use of treatment facilities unwarranted by patient condition.
The charges arose from the care that the Respondent provided to seven persons, Patients A-G. The charges as to all Patients included allegations concerning treatment for Lyme Disease. The record refers to the Patients by letter to protect patient privacy. A hearing on the charges followed under N.Y. Pub. Health Law § 230(10), before the Committee that rendered the Determination now on review.
The Committee dismissed all factual allegations concerning treatment for Lyme Disease and the Misconduct Specifications that charged gross negligence, gross incompetence, incompetence on more than one occasion, fraud and failure to maintain accurate records. The Committee sustained factual allegations that the Respondent committed negligence in treating Patient D, by treating the Patient for ehrlichiosis1 without clinical and laboratory evidence that the Patient suffered from the disease. The Committee also found the Respondent negligent for prescribing Bicillin for Patient F on a continuous basis after the Patient suffered a seizure while on the medication. The Committee determined that the Respondent practiced with negligence on more than one occasion in treating Patients D and F and that the Respondent subjected Patient D to unwarranted treatment. The Committee voted to suspend the Respondent's License for six months, to stay the suspension and to place the Respondent on probation for six months, under terms that appear at Appendix II to the Committee's Determination. The probation terms include a requirement that the Respondent practice under supervision by a practice monitor with board certification in infectious diseases.
I Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by tick bite that can prove fatal if untreated [Hearing Committee Finding of Fact 26].
Review History and Issues
The Committee rendered their Determination on November 6, 2001. This proceeding commenced on November 21, 2001, when the ARB received the Petitioner's Notice requesting a Review. The record for review contained the Committee's Determination, the hearing record, the Petitioner's brief and response brief and the Respondent's brief and response brief. The record closed when the ARB received the Petitioner's response brief on January 18, 2002.
Although the Petitioner requested a review of the Committee's Determination, the Petitioner's brief asks that the ARB issue a final determination including our own Findings of Fact. The Petitioner asserts that the Committee failed to address the real and vital issues in the hearing, that the Committee threw up their hands and that the Committee failed to do its job. The Petitioner asks the ARB to identify the uncontested facts from the record and asks the ARB to rely on proposed findings by the parties in rendering a determination. The Petitioner argues that they proved the charges by persuasive, substantial, and in many cases, irrefutable evidence. In the alternative, the Petitioner requests that the ARB impose a longer period of probation for the misconduct findings that the Committee made.
The Respondent opposes the Petitioner's request that the ARB sustain additional charges. In his review brief, the Respondent asks that the ARB overturn the Committee's findings on negligence on more than one occasion and ordering unwarranted treatment. The Respondent also asks that the ARB overturn the penalty that the Committee ordered. The Respondent argues that the Petitioner chose an unrepresentative sample of patient charts for review, that the Committee's Findings of Fact misrepresent the hearing record and that the record fails to prove the charges concerning Patients D and F.
The ARB has considered the record and the parties' briefs. We affirm the Committee's Determination that the Respondent practiced with negligence on more than one occasion and subjected Patient D to unwarranted treatment. We find no grounds on which to sustain new charges. We affirm the Committee's Determination to suspend the Respondent's License, to stay the suspension and to place the Respondent on probation. We overturn the Committee and extend the period on probation from six months to two years.
In requesting that the ARB adopt our own Findings of Fact, the Petitioner concedes that the Committee Determination provides insufficient grounds to overturn the Committee and sustain additional charges. The Petitioner asks that the ARB draft our own Hearing Committee Determination and use that document as the basis to sustain the charges. Under N. Y. Pub. Health Law §§ 230(10)(g)(1) & 230c-(a)(4)(McKinney Supp. 2001), the Committees make findings of fact and the ARB reviews those findings. The ARB may correct errors by Committees, Matter of Brigham v. DeBuono, 288 A.D.2d 870, N.Y.S.2d (3rd Dept. 1996). The ARB has exercised that authority in the past by amending or deleting some clearly erroneous Committee findings or conclusions. As we noted in a recent case, the ARB has never made a single new finding of fact in any prior case Matter of Dean Cory Mitchell, ARB # 01-120. In this case, the Petitioner requests that the ARB exceed our authority by adopting extensive additional findings of fact. We decline the request.
The Petitioner argued that the Committee failed to do its job. We disagree. The Committee's Determination noted that the Committee found their role as answering the question that the Statement of Charges raised [Committee Determination page 42]. In addressing those questions, the Committee found the Petitioner's proof unconvincing. The Committee stated that they found the Petitioner's expert witness arrogant and that the Committee found the expert reluctant to acknowledge error when the expert ignored some portion of a Patient's medical record. The Committee noted that the Petitioner's expert answered every question emphatically, without equivocation, and that the expert appeared determined to get across the point that the Respondent acted improperly. The Petitioner alleged error by the Committee for their judgement on credibility. The ARB holds that the Committee as fact finder constitutes the proper body to make the judgement on credibility and the ARB as a review body owes the Committee deference in making that judgement. The ARB sees no grounds to overturn that judgement in this case.
The Respondent challenged the Committee's findings that the Respondent practiced with negligence on more than one occasion and ordered unwarranted treatment. We hold that the evidence the Committee cited to support their findings provided preponderant evidence to establish that the Respondent committed professional misconduct.
Both parties challenged the penalty the Committee imposed. We agree with the Petitioner that the Committee imposed an inappropriately short penalty by placing the Respondent on probation for only six months. The Committee stated that they hoped the time they set for probation would allow the Respondent to consider whether he has sufficient clinical evidence to warrant treatment for a disease entity and to review patient responses to drug therapy [Committee Determination page 44]. The ARB concludes that six months provides too little time on probation. The ARB holds that two years will provide sufficient time for reflection by the Respondent on the need to correct the deficiencies in his practice and will allow the practice monitor to ensure that the Respondent has corrected those deficiencies. The Committee had suspended the Respondent's medical license for six months and stayed the suspension. The Committee set their probation penalty to run during the time of the stayed suspension. Under N.Y. Educ. Law § 230-a(9), however, a Committee or the ARB may impose a probation penalty separate from any other penalty. The ARB chooses, therefore, to extend the probation beyond that period of the stayed suspension.
NOW, with this Determination as our basis, the ARB renders the following ORDER:
- The ARB affirms the Committee's Determination that the Respondent committed professional misconduct.
- The ARB rejects the Petitioner's request that we make additional findings of fact and sustain additional misconduct charges.
- The ARB affirms the Committee's Determination to suspend the Respondent's License, to stay the suspension and to place the Respondent on probation, under the terms that appear as Appendix II in the Committee's Determination.
- The ARB modifies the Committee's Determination to increase the probation from six months to two years.

There's some cliche about there being 'no right way to skin a cat' or something, but that's just gross. The gist of the statement is that there's no one way to do things. On r/YAwriters there was a discussion about bad writing advice. The original post tackles such tried and true ideas as 'write what you know', 'show, don't tell', 'raise the stakes', and 'kill your darlings'. Mary Robinette Kowal does a fantastic job at taking some of these things apart; especially dear to me is the ripping up of 'kill your darlings'. For the love of God and/or Satan, don't you dare rip up the good parts of your book just because you believe you have to be more critical of the things you love the most. Readers can feel that passion, so be critical, but no unnecessary book surgery.
The discussion on r/YAwriters delved deeper into other tried and true aspects of writing advice, which shows one thing: we all do this writing thing differently.
Write Everyday
There is no one right way to write a novel. You've got to write it one way or another, but trying to ape another author's writing style might not work for you. I go days (months, sometimes) without writing fiction, but I'm a speed drafter. I can write 2000 words a day, sure whatever, but I personally feel writing more words per day helps me link up the emotions and pacing between scenes better. That said, I get very few days to sit down and write 6000+ words a day, so yeah, there are plenty of days I just won't write. There are others who'd get twitchy if they had to write for more than an hour or two a day and can't speed draft.
Harlequin Valentine summed up the issue with this piece of advice:
It's not quite the same as the ones here but one that gets me is "write every day" – I unfortunately took that to mean that if you don't write every day then you've failed horribly and need to give up being a writer…
I've always thought that better advice (for people who take things too literally like my younger self) would be: "set yourself high but achievable writing goals and don't beat yourself up if you can't always make them".
When I wrote about not doing NaNoWriMo, I didn't include this reason, but my reaction against this piece of advice is probably another reason NaNo doesn't work for me. It's just not what I do. Writing everyday can make my story feel like suck. (I don't want my story to feel like suck until I have to edit it…I'll have plenty time to contemplate how bad it is then.)
Writer's Write
Let me put this one to bed: writer's do a lot of things. One of those things must, by it's very definition, be writing. That said, writer's also can edit, market, tweet, blog, book sign, book tour, read contracts, negotiate with agents/publishers, approve cover art, and a whole mess of other things I cannot think of. There's way more to this gig (and being a successful author) than just writing. You've got to write, yes, but there are so many other parts of this career. One thing people often over look is hustling and branding. Whether they do it intentionally or not, a lot of successful creative people have branded themselves and are always on, always selling themselves and their work even if it's subtle. Being an author is about more than just the work itself, and if you're famous enough, there's always ghost writers.
Write What You Want to Read
There is a niche for everything in the world. The larger that niche, though, the easier time your story might have finding readers. Writing an alternate history about were pigs struggling against monarchy in 17th century France might be great, but the number of people who want to read that story could be shockingly small. Or not! You don't know. When I write, I do have a (vague) audience in mind–but it's not always the same audience for every story. You might want to read some erotica, but those readers aren't necessarily the same ones who might like your sweet-romance YA (even if you like both). Today, self-publishing can eliminate the need for pen names, but plenty of authors still use them to cross genres because what you want to read doesn't necessarily line up with the groups of readers you're trying to reach. This is more of a marketing thing, sure, and some authors do genre hop successfully (Delilah Dawson comes to mind). But the main point is this: what you want to read may limit your readership. Some of you (and sometimes me) don't really care, but it's worth pointing out the cynical, business aspect even if it is considered the Dark Side of being a writer.

This homemade costume for girls entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Cassidy, the 'Edward Scissorhands' costume creator:
I made and wore this costume of Edward Scissorhands this year for Halloween at my school (I'm 16 years old). I had been wanting to do this costume for a while but always thought it would be too hard, however this year I decided I was going to go for it! I made the jacket out of a leather trench coat that I got at a thrift store, which I cut at the waist, then cut in the back and sewed to make it fit me. I then got various black belts from the same thrift store, and also gathered some that I already owned. To attach them I cut holes it the arms of the jacket and strung two of them through, then for the others I either taped them or glued them. Then, for the belts that didn't have metallic pieces I dissembled a metal ringed belt and glued the individual rings onto them. Then for the neck of the jacket I turned up the collar and used Velcro to keep it together, plus I also glued metal rings onto it. For the arms, to make them less baggy, I put duct tape around them in certain places. The belt/harness looking deal below my jacket (which I attached with Velcro) was created using the left over leather belt that had originally belonged to the trench coat, along with some leather from the bottom half I had cut off, plus metal rings that I glued on. I then velcroed two small belts around my thigh on my faux leather leggings, and created a sort of 'leather wrap' that I made with more left over leather and metal rings, and that I velcroed/duct taped around my knee. For my shoes I wore one leather boot which I duct tape to my leggings so it would appear to be one piece, and one shorter black riding boot that I've had since forever. The last part of my clothing costume was the scissor-hand. These were made with shiny metallic duct tape, black duct tape, cardboard, and a pair of leather gloves by a co-worker of my dad who was willing to help make these for me! The last part of my costume was the wig, that I purchased off amazon, and the face/makeup which I created. For this I watched a tutorial online and did all myself. I used different makeup, including face paint, foundation, eyeshadow, and different obscure things to pull it together! The scars were done with thick white face paint applied with the handle of a thin paint brush. I was incredibly proud of my costume and of all the hours of work that paid off in the end. It was a total blast to wear this to school- and to drivers-Ed at 7:00 in the morning. It was great to see reactions, and my teacher called me Eddie! :) However, the hands were a bit of an occupational hazard during the school day- a little hard to carry my books around and do school work with, in which I unfortunately had to take them off, haha. But nonetheless, it was my favorite Halloween thus far, and my most prided creation/costume to date. I have one problem: how to top it next year, my senior year!

Making extra money online these days has become really easy. With all the platforms that are available world wide and the support, there is endless opportunity for creating multiple streams of income.
Often people don't know where to start or how to start, this happened to me many years ago when I began to discover the potential of earning income from home using the internet. There is just something special about being your own boss, working flexible hours and not sitting in that morning and afternoon traffic rut, Bleh! If you put up with this daily then you definitely have more patience than me 🙂
The great news is that "traffic" has a positive connotation in the online world.
In this post I would like to share and present some ideas on how you can start or further develop your streams of income online.
Discussion Topics:
- Where to start and why.
- What is a Niche?
- Management.
- Affiliate programs.
Where to start and why
The best place to start is with yourself.
Spend a minute or two thinking who you really are, think of some positive changes you are capable of making.
Based on the type of individual you are, will reflect across to the people you deal with online who will potentially become part of your network or your customers.
Before we delve into suggestions for online opportunities you should do this short exercise to find a direction.
Write this down on your notepad, word or paper diary and most importantly be honest with yourself or risk running into major challenges and complications later:
- Choose something you are really passionate about and feel like you can talk or write about it extensively, it might be a few things or just one particular thing for now.
- Something you are really good at doing, like sport, cooking, gardening, helping people, music, electronics, technology, science, photography, sales, teaching, traveling or anything else you truly love and enjoy.
- Do you only intend to make money or share something valuable and unique with the world?
- What makes you unique as an individual? Perhaps something you feel no one else can relate to.
- Do you consider yourself honest, trustworthy and helpful?
- Are you the type of person that is willing to learn from other individuals even if you perceive yourself to be more knowledgeable or experienced?
If you elaborated slightly on each of these points above you will notice that the content you have written is unique. It doesn't matter what your answers were, there is no right and wrong in this case. The whole idea of approaching all this, is to be YOU! As long as you are yourself (honest), you will remain relevant (interesting enough to follow) and build trust with those you attract.
Personally I like to share my failures with people 😀
Why you ask?
Well, firstly its better than being accused of bragging lol.
Secondly, you will hopefully learn NOT to make some of the mistakes I did. The reality is, the more we fail the more we succeed, if we don't give up that is. Only when you give up do you truly fail.
"Success is a process, not an event".
The first mistake I made when starting online was to go at it alone, with no support, no capital and zero credibility.
Finding support can be essential in starting your own business venture, especially if you do it with people you can trust.
If I had to do it all over again I would have started by creating my own website (digital skyscraper), this is probably one of the BEST investments you can make if you planning to build a serious long term online business. In a near future post I will explain all the benefits of owning your own website and domain.
If you would like to see just how easy and quick it is to set up your own website for free, CLICK HERE. I highly recommend watching the video presented by Kyle, he makes it really simple.
So lets move on to the next discussion topic.
What is a Niche?
If you completed the short exercise above you should have your niche.
The proper definition in context to this post is:
As an adverb: Denoting or relating to products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population.
Let me use an example.
If you chose sports, lets narrow it down to a niche.
How? Like this…
Sports – Boxing – "Boxing Equipment"
You can narrow it down even more to "Boxing Gloves" but "Boxing Equipment" will then be your niche.
Here are a few more niches within the boxing theme.
Diet for a Boxer – Boxing Exercise Routine – Boxing Gyms – Boxing Techniques.
Basically any subject you choose will have a niche (a group of people with interest) associated with it.
Do not overwhelm yourself by loading your brain with to many ideas.
The best approach is to write down some personal goals.
- What do you want to accomplish within the next 24 hours?
- What do you want to accomplish within the next month?
- What would you like to earn (per month) and how much time are you willing to invest in yourself and your business?
I wanted to address the management aspect before presenting you with a few affiliate opportunities that can and will lead to multiple streams of income if approached and applied correctly. Do not jump into all of them and expect overnight results, this will not be the right approach. Take your time, read threw each review carefully and make a educated assessment of what would be suitable for you.
I would recommend picking one and become orientated first before moving to the next.

Then last but not least, if you are new to online sales, promoting or affiliating, you might find THIS POST very useful.

I will be glad to assist you to the best of my ability 🙂

A large hazard threatens Lake Sevan because of the additional water outlet of 100 million m3. The government substantiates its decision with the electricity production volumes at Sevan-Hrazdan hydro cascade and the increase in irrigation areas. This decision was adopted without any public discussion and not taking into consideration the objection by RA Nature Protection Ministry, which protects Lake Sevan as a specifically protected area of nature. The final decision shall be reached by RA National Assembly. This matter is on the agenda of the meeting of the National Assembly on 4 July.
Sevan is not an object for not well-thought decisions, but it's a national priority and the strategic guarantor of our national security. 'S.O.S Sevan' initiative is calling for all, who takes care about Lake Sevan, not to allow any additional water intake from Lake Sevan, which is the first step in the Armenian Government's program to take 1 billion cum water out of Lake Sevan.
On 27 June 2017, at 12:00, S.O.S. Sevan Initiative's Round Table-Consultation-Press Conference will be held at EcoLur Press Club (Hanrapetutyan 49/2, in front of Europe Hotel, the pre-last entrance from the yard), during which a collection signature against addition water intake from Lake Sevan will be initiated.
Round Table-Consultation-Press Conference will be participated by Inga Zarafyan – President of EcoLur Informational NGO, Lianna Asoyan – President of Gegharkounik-based 'Blejan' NGO, Satik Badeyan – President of 'Association of Social Enterprises of Armenia', Karine Danielyan - President of 'Association For Sustainable Human Development' NGO, Silva Adamyan – Coordinator of Environmental Public Alliance, Levon Galstyan – Member of Armenian Environmental Front, Expert Seyran Minasyan, Gagik Sukhudyan – Ex Director of 'Sevan' National Park, Lawyer Nazeli Vardanyan – Director of 'Forests of Armenia' NGO and Silva Ayvazyan – Coordinator of Yerevan Aarhus Center.

I'm a bathroom connoisseur.
I've seen and used all types of washrooms throughout my travels -and I'm not just talking whirlpools, walk-ins or claw-foot tubs.
I mean, come on, that stuff is for amateurs.
I'm talking buckets and ladles; I'm talking about awkwardly crouching in a wobbly freestanding tub located in the middle of the kitchen, trying to skillfully maneuver the shower head so as to not to get any water in your roommate's breakfast; I'm talking about using a coin machine to get your hot water; I'm talking about not always having hot water, nor a shower.
Still not impressed? Try this:
I stumbled upon this eco-friendly setup a handful of times while traveling around Japan. Notice how the sink is connected to the toilet tank. Every time you flush, water comes out automatically from the sink's faucet and pours down into the water tank. Brilliant, huh?
Travelers are often interested in more refined subjects such as cuisine, architecture, art, etc. During my initial stages as a novice traveler, I too tried visiting museums and running around the city chasing famous monuments to photograph and post on facebook. But soon, I realized that traveling the "culturally correct" way was ending up to be a waste of my time and money, and above all, my enthusiasm. I finally gave up the act of culturally responsible traveler, and took up more debased activities, one of which was bathroom exploration.
You may laugh, but bathrooms can provide huge insight into a culture, telling us about the country's socioeconomic conditions, history, and environmental surroundings. The attention a society places on hygiene, aesthetics, privacy and practicality is best revealed in a bathroom's infrastructure and design and in the way people make use of these. Having been relegated to the private sphere, bathrooms have a delicious genuineness to them, which makes them powerful cultural indicators and pretty honest storytellers.
No, I wasn't born with a freakish interest in bathrooms. As with any other art, bathroom exploration is a skill you develop over time.
It all started at a later age, in a smoky PC bang (Internet cafe) in Seoul, South Korea…
I was checking my e-mails, the sound of computerized gunshots and undecipherable shouting in Korean enveloping me in a safe and comfortable haven of noise. The owner of the PC bang had taken a liking to me and enjoyed giving me free coffee and juice. I slouched back into the leather chair and inhaled the intimate scent of cigarettes interlaced with microwaved ramyeon noodles.
I was living the Korean dream, sitting in a room full of excited Korean boys, drinking free coffee, and using the fastest Internet connection in the world. I was about to order another cup of ramyeon, when I was suddenly overcome by an urgent need to relieve myself which broke me out of my spellbound MSG-induced state.
I rushed to the bathroom, and as soon as I opened the door, I was knocked down by a heavy gust of cigarette smoke.
BathCraft Level 1, Tip 1: In Korea, women's bathrooms often double up as smoking lounges in a society where smoking in public is not permissible for women.
I don't know if I was feeling disoriented by the smoke or nauseous because of an automatic-machine coffee overdose , but as soon as I opened the stall door, a wave of confusion washed over me.
Where was I? Had I entered one of those private computer rooms by accident? No. Was it a time capsule? No, no. I was in the right place. And what stood before me was the…
BathCraft Level 1, Tip 2: If you don't have a Master's degree in IT, then don't go to the bathroom.
These high-tech toilets come equipped with a control panel containing at least a dozen buttons, or just enough to put a commercial pilot to shame.
I never took the course to learn how to operate one of these machines, but I do recommend getting a professional to train you on these functions before trying a Korean toilet on your own:
– Seat heating – keep your tush warm on cold winter days!
– Frontal and back washing – to bring a little ol'skool bidet action into the mix
– Automatic sensor flushing – A hands free concept sounds great, but you still need to find the button for it… and then push it… so I guess it kind of beats the concept of an automatic sensor.
– Flushing audio – For camouflaging embarrassing bodily function sounds. This unique feature can also be sold separately:
Taken by: Hanh Bareau
– Drying – This is the ecological answer to toilet paper consumption. What a fun way to save trees!
– Massage – Hmmm, am I the only one here who thinks there's something wrong with getting a massage from your toilet?
– Air freshener – Not sure if it freshens the air or something else…
I'm a little baffled by certain features like "set clock." I mean, are people taking naps on the toilet? And what about "Power on/off." What happens exactly when you turn a toilet off?
If you're into video games (and Koreans are) then this is the toilet for you. But if you were brought up using a no frills Canadian toilet, I suggest you learn the ropes quickly if you want to avoid having any traumatizing Korean toilet mishaps. I have plenty unfortunate stories where I accidentally pressed the "high pressure frontal wash" button, and then had to make up some lame story to explain how my clothes became all wet as my hot date looked on suspiciously, at a safe distance. I guess those are the times when you wish you had known how to turn your toilet off.
Feeling ready for the next level? Go to BathCraft Level 2 – Korean Showers. (coming soon)

Finally getting caught up on my review posts. Being sick is not the most fun, let me tell you.
Anyway, here's what I got!
This month's theme was Black Magic. Appropriate considering Hallowe'en at the end of the month. This artwork on this sweet bag comes from Valfre, and has the cutest little drawings on it.
The first product I got to try is TATCHA PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil.
The website says : Come into bloom. Nutrient-rich camellia oil from the Goto Islands moisturizes as it removes makeup and cleanses. That's what we call flower power. Ready for liftoff. Leaves no residue behind whatsoever. Rice bran oil hydrates and makes skin feel silky. Just say no to irritation. Mild enough for all skin types.
I'm not a big fan of cleansing oils as my skin has a tendency to get super oily. I also have super sensitive eyes, and this burned a little. Unfortunately this product isn't for me.
Next is the Ciaté LondonFierce Flicks Eyeliner.
The website says : The little black dress of liners. One sweep of this intensely dark shade is all you need to create a chic look. Easy to apply and goes with everything. Exacting standards. Precision felt tip makes drawing thin or winging out simple. It's not going anywhere, thanks to the long-lasting and budge-proof formula. Keep it smooth. Glides on, even over eye shadows.
I have tried this one already from another sub. It really does stay where you put it, and lasts a super-long time!
Now we have VINTAGE by Jessica Liebeskind Brighten & Define Eye Shadow Palette in Vanilla/Espresso.
The website says : Black and white and pretty all over. Two matte shadows that really make our eyes pop. If we had to pack only one palette, this would be it. The softer side. Velvety texture glides onto lids. Add some sweetness. Creamy vanilla shade brightens. Double up on espresso. Deep brown-black creates the perfect lines.
Really smooth and velvety eye shadows, but the lack of colour really washed out my eyes. I consider my eyes my best feature, so this one isn't for me.
Next is Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker Fragrance Rollerball.
From the website : Every girl's dream. Whether we're feeling like a Carrie, a Miranda, a Samantha or a Charlotte—this silky white amber scent is just our type. Feminine and a bit fantastic. Goes from office hours to after hours. Top notes of mandarin, bergamot and rosewood set a dreamy tone. Patchouli, cedarwood, white amber and orchid release the sultry side.
I was very excited to try this one! To my dismay, removing the cap to smell it was enough to trigger my allergies.
Last but not least we have tre'StiQue Matte Lip Crayon in Belize Bordeaux.
The website says : Lips on lock. Creamy and lightweight formula glides on smoothly and leaves a long-lasting matte finish. Our go-to for a perfect pout. Super cute cap is made to stay put—so the color doesn't dry out. Won't emphasize lines or imperfections on lips (like many other crayons do). Belize Bordeaux is a deep wine that has us going back for another glass.
Can I just say, I LOVE lip crayons! This shade is almost exactly my natural lip colour - just a tiny bit darker. Lasted through eating and drinking. I love that I don't have to keep reapplying it all of the time!
So this month's bag wasn't the biggest win for me. It wasn't because of poor quality or anything, just one eye shadow colours that wash me out, and my own sensitivities for the rest. That bag is just the cutest though!
I hope you enjoyed my reviews of these products. These items came from a subscrition that I paid for, and these are my unsolicited opinions. If you would like your own Glam Bag subscription, follow the link below, and let me know what you think!

188.8.131.52:

==Pkunk/Yehat==
 I remember from past games that the Pkunk try a few times to rejoin the Yehat even when the Yehat civil war hasn't started yet. I also remember that other hint sources suggest that you go there and try to stop them (and actually it's rather easy to do that; the Pkunk will believe you and withdraw). I wonder if this is worthy of mention, or more to the point, whether letting them go and be massacred would make the game too different / difficult. [[Special:Contributions/220.127.116.11|188.8.131.52]] 08:32, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

 ==Suggestion: Sources==

 I would like to add information to this walkthrough about where in the game the player can find the information provided here. For example, I'm about to finish my first play through, and I know from the web where to find the Sa-Matra, but I don't know how to find this information in-game, although the [[Chmmr]] indicate that it is possible. If the walkthrough has information about what hints exist in the game, so that the player can generate a more realistic sequence of events, and is less likely to miss out on interesting dialogue. There haven't been any changes to this page in a year, so I'm going to go ahead and do it. Feel free to revert, but if you do so, please reply here. --[[User:Lanken|Lanken]] 3 August 2008

 I agree (I've mentioned this too somewhere). As for how to find the Sa-Matra, the Zoq-Fot-Pik tell you it's in Crateris, for example see [http://sc2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sc2/trunk/sc2/content/base/comm/zoqfotpik/zoqfotpik.txt?view=markup here]. Welcome, by the way. Feel free to join us on the forums too :) --[[User:Zeracles|Zeracles]] 21:10, 4 August 2008 (CEST)

 ==Avoid Unnecessary Spoilers==

 For some of the quests detailed here, the instructions are written in a florid style full of details about what will happen in the course of the game. This kind of spoiler should be avoided in favor of a style that gives away less of what the game has in store.--[[User:Lanken|Lanken]] 3 August 2008

 ==Major Re-Write==
 I have made major changes to this article in accordance with my two statements above, and to bring it more into accordance with wikipedia style (more formal writing). Apart from the stylistic changes, the big difference is that I have reduced the spoiler content while preserving the information needed for players to get past wherever they are stuck.--[[User:Lanken|Lanken]] 3 August 2008

 ==Available Game Endings==
 Regarding the suggestion about available game endings which was put here recently but then removed, I'd be inclined to put them on this page rather than on a different one, because a walkthrough tells one what not to do and why, thus it makes sense to me for it to mention alternative, losing endings. Another reason I wouldn't put these on another page is that I'm not aware of all that many alternative endings to the game, so it could be a short page. The ones I know of are
 *die in combat
 *detonate precursor/utwig bomb prematurely (by using this device before the ideal ending)
 *run out of time and succumb to the Kohr-Ah
 *surrender to the Kzer-Za
 *it may be possible to become stranded in hyperspace irrecoverably, exhausting all the things you might give the melnorme in exchange for fuel; this might not be a distinct ending as it leads either to slowly being picked apart by encounters with slylandro probes or waiting for the Kohr-Ah to come along. Another way to run out of fuel perhaps is to make lots of planet landings . . . not sure if the melnorme come to help you in this instance, could be one to try.

 The surrender and detonation ones really aren't very interesting. As well as more losing endings, wouldn't it be cool if there were many other ways to win . . . --[[User:Zeracles|Zeracles]] 20:50, 5 August 2008 (CEST)

 :If you don't have anything of value to trade, the Melnorme will give you fuel for free. Making lots of planet landings is no problem either, as travel within a solar system doesn't cost fuel, so you can enter HyperSpace and wait for the Melnorme there. You can however, piss off the Melnorme the first time you meet them, in which case they won't come to your rescue in HyperSpace when you need them later. — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 23:08, 11 August 2008 (CEST)

 =='Bad' Players==
 I finished the game ''very'' late, while the [[Kohr-Ah]] had already wiped up almost all sentient life in the Galaxy - in this order, if you were curious and not as a bad player as I was: the [[Druuge]], the [[Mycon]], the [[VUX]], the [[Yehat]] (while they were engaged in civil war, no less!), the [[Orz]] (!!!), the [[Zoq-Fot-Pik]] (which saddened me immensely...), the [[Pkunk]], the [[Umgah]] (good riddance), the [[Arilou]] (of course, their QuasiSpace pocket-world was untouched) and the [[Utwig]], missing the [[Supox]] by a hair's breadth. The only survivors outside of the [[Chmmr]] were the [[Syreen]], the Humans, the [[Slylandro]] (I think...), the Shofixti (altough they never really caught on, what with the Yehat dead) and the Supox. Additionally, I let the [[Ilwrath]] and [[Thraddash]] annihilate each other. The happy-happy ending felt extremely wrong after witnessing this. My Captain came across as a huge jerk in total denial who probably spent many nights crying naked in his bedroom with a bottle of whisky in one hand and a loaded hand-blaster in the other. I think I'll go to hell for this.

 As a result, I never met or spoke with the Druuge, the Mycon nor the Thraddash, yet I still completed the game. I simply had to land on the now-inhabited worlds and grab the artifacts, no quest nor fights necessary (I ''will'' go to hell). Needless to say, my endgame was extremely rushed, as I realized what was happening and zapped around the Galaxy through QuasiSpace to hit all the key locations I had noted down before the Kohr-Ah killed everyone. Putting my embarassing "victory" aside, should the walkthrough mention what ''really'' bad players should expect?

 :: Don't worry - all these strange alien races - it wouldnt have worked out anyways... who knows what the buggers are up to :)
 :: The Humans and the Sex-Toys er... i mean the [[Syreen]] survived and that's the ticket...[[User:220.127.116.11|188.8.131.52]] 10:29, 19 May 2007 (CEST)

 == Ultromicon ==

 Just a few things. How is this going to differ from [[Ultronomicon:Game events]]? Or, what will this walkthrough do that that article doesn't? The structure of the game is very non-linear so a traditional walkthrough would be difficult. If this walkthrough is going to be significantly different, you should probably use the game events article as a guide for mentioning required/optional events and order of events (when it exists) since I believe Phoenix and Svdb hashed those out fairly well. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 21:10, 17 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : This Walk-Thru will be an in-depth, step by step guide to fisnihing the game. When I first played Ur-Quan, I got lost many times (lost meaning what to do next, not where I was in the universe ;)) and a guide would have helped me to see where I was and what I was supposed to do next. Alas, no guide exists on this Wiki so I have decided to create one myself, having completed the game recently. I wasn't aware [[Ultronomicon:Game events]] existed. Even so, I'm still going to go ahead and design this Walk Thru because it will be a lot of help to those new at playing. --[[User:k776|k776]]
 The standard that seems to have developed on this site for referring to planets/moons is "Zeta Centauri Ia", though I can't recall where or if we discussed this in depth. The star name followed by the roman numeral for the planet is typical of most of the in-game conversations. At the moment I can't find any in-game reference for the moon designation, but the lower case letters w/o hyphen designation is similar to that used in the [[Role Playing Resource Guide]]. I can't remember if there was a unique designation when in orbit of the moons in the PC version - none exists in UQM. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 21:10, 17 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Very well. I will change the format now :D I want to keep everything as normal as it should be :D --[[User:k776|k776]]
 It might be better to move all the '''NOTES''' to a separate section of their own since they are applicable to more than just the situation where they appear and their current position tends to break the flow of the article. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 21:10, 17 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Hmm. My original idea was to have small notes when something is first addressed, so the bigger the Walk-Thru gets, the less notes you'll see at the end of it. For eg, since mining minerals and fighting has already been addressed, it wont be elsewhere. However, if I move the notes to the bottom of the page, what do you think would be the best way to link them? I was thinking of linking it via a (?) button next to the text? --[[User:k776|k776]]
 Just some thoughts. Welcome aboard and good luck. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 21:10, 17 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Thanks for the comments Fyzixfighter. --[[User:k776|k776]]

 I think a walkthrough that tells the player what to do in a descriptive way could have a place here. But note that plenty of similar SC2 walkthroughs can be found across the web. — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 07:24, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Yes, there are heaps of SC2 walkthroughs, but they are for SC2 :P I have noticed quite a lot of differences in planets between a SC2 walkthrough and the Ur-Quan Masters game. So I thought I'd make an original walkthrough for this wiki. --[[User:k776|k776]]
 :: There should really be no significant differences between SC2 and UQM (see [[Version Comparison]]). Got any examples? — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 19:33, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 ::: Well, mostly do do with planet and constellation names. For eg, in one point in the game, a SC2 walkthrough told me to go to the Androsynth homeworld of Epsilon Vulpeculae II. After searching for ages, I consulted this wiki to find it is actually at Eta Vulpeculae II. And there is a few of these differences. --[[User:k776|k776]]
 One minor point of criticism — no, make that one BIG point of criticism: Using "thru" for "through" really hurts my eyes. — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 07:24, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Thru has been changed to Through. :D --[[User:k776|k776]]
 :: I've made "walkthrough" one word; "walk through" is incorrect. "walk-through" is correct, but as "walkthrough" is the most common spelling, I've changed all mentions to that. — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 19:33, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 ::: Bleh. If thats how it should be..... no complaints :D Thanks. --[[User:k776|k776]]

 Before I start a minor edit war, I'd better explain some of the edits I had made to the article. The heading structure needs to be revisited in order to follow wikipedia conventions as described in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)]]. Only the title of the article should be H1, which is done automatically. All other headings in the body of the article should be H2 or more. That said, I think you could take out the "Welcome..." heading, which seems to serve the same purpose as the article title, and have that paragraph be the opening paragraph for the entire article. This would be kind of awkward, though, given the "work in progress" heading above so you might have to move stuff around. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 08:33, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Hmm. I thought the way it looked was fine. However, I hope the changes I have made to it now are what you meant. If not, feel free to edit it yourself and correct it. *Note* The "A work in progress" will be removed when the page is nearly complete and so will make the page look tidier. --[[User:k776|k776]]
 As to the Pkunk, they never actually join the cause. They do consider you a friend and offer ships on occasion, but they never formally ally with you nor send their ship designs and captains to the starbase. Thus, I think "assist" is a better description than "join" for their role. Yeah, it's a bit nitpicking but it's also being accurate. We wouldn't want someone to read the walkthrough and then wonder why they couldn't build Pkunk Furies at the starbase. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 08:33, 18 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : Ok. I've changed it to 'assist' and 'help' rather than 'join' and 'ally'. I have also added a note regarding that fact that you dont get their plans so make those 4 ships last. --[[User:k776|k776]]

 == Planets & Moons ==

 Sorry to dip in late, but as I recall, the "Star_name IIa" designation for moons comes from the original PC version of SC2. That's the schema I used when first creating the various articles describing moons in the star system. It may not be mentioned in UQM, but it sure makes it easier to identify those things. --[[User:Phoenix|Phoenix]] [[User_talk:Phoenix|(t)]] 00:54, 19 Dec 2005 (CET)
 : So basicly add an underscore for planets with two words in its name? --[[User:k776|k776]]
 ::Oh, no. That was my way of denoting an example of a name. --[[User:Phoenix|Phoenix]] [[User_talk:Phoenix|(t)]] 01:53, 19 Dec 2005 (CET)
 That's not true! In the PC it was similar to Ur-Quan-Masters, when you orbited a moon it still displayed the name of the planet, the moon belongs to. The only exception is the Sol system, since all the planets and moons have their traditional names... [[User:184.108.40.206|126.96.36.199]] 02:03, 19 March 2006 (CET)

 I am sorry for interrupting: but i have found a pseudo cheat: if you are using your flagship in a battle, hold "esc" to warp out immediatly. if the enemy attacks, you will be instantly destroyed, but if you are destroyed, you will still be alive. THX. (webmaster:please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com)
 That is not a cheat (Esc).
 :The starbase commander says they have installed a device so that you can escape from combat with any ship (not just the capital ship) by pressing Escape.[[User:Ggb667|Ggb667]] 14:11, 20 April 2006 (CEST)
 ::I think he's talking about [[uqmbug:619|bug 619]], which is fixed for quite a while now. — [[User:Svdb|SvdB]] 09:03, 23 April 2006 (CEST)

 ==Mineral-Rich Worlds?==

 A list of a mineral-rich worlds under heading 7.2 seems like a good idea to me. Kind of surprising that there isn't one here already. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 08:25, 25 February 2009 (CET)

 Yah man. I've seen a walk-through that was all like 'go here, here and here at coordinates xyz by yzx and you'll be SET! What happened? This game is over a decade old this should be common knowledge. OMG. Update, kay people I found it! But I'm not Wiki guy so somebody help a brotha out and translate it to section 7.2 as Mineral Richest Worlds plz: Here is the guide free online (yay for free -- phree da warez/informazationz wants 2 b free!) http://home.sprynet.com/~asrial/StarControl2/rguide.pdf - Anonymous Coward UQM playa

 ==The Druuge==

 A section containing every deal the player can make with the Druuge under "Other Useful Information" would be nice to have. Not all of those deals are a gyp! --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 21:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

 ==Boldly moving suggestions from article to talk space==

 This page is a work in progress. It would be appreciated if you use the following techniques when adding to or editing this guide:
 *''' 'Original' ''' work only! No plagarism from other guides for Star Control 2.
 *''' 'Order' ''' every step so it is in the order of how it would normally be executed. These include not only categories, but the individual steps in those categories.
 *''' 'Separate' ''' compulsory quests (ones that need to be completed to finish the game) which go at the top of the guide and optional quests (ones that don't need to be completed to finish the game) that go in their own section at the bottom of the guide.
 *''' 'Detail' ''' every step. Leave no stone unturned. If the player needs to go to a planet, print the name of the planet (for example 'Delta Gorno, Planet II'), the hyperspace co-ordinates of the constellation (for example '285.0 : 025.0'), and if you have to visit the moon, append X after the planet number (where X is a lowercase letter denoting the number of the moon). So if someone has to visit the first moon of the first planet of Zeta Centauri, you should print something like 'Zeta Centauri, Planet Ia (146.3 : 077.9)'.
 *''' 'Link' ''' whatever text you can to other pages in this wiki so people will be able to see what you are talking about.
 *''' 'Add' ''' style to all of the steps. Don't have it all in one paragraph. The preferable ordering would be * (indentation). Also use headings so users can see what they are going to do next.
 *''' 'Keep' ''' hints, comments, and links separate from the other content to avoid confusion by encasing them in the hint template: <nowiki>{{hint|hint goes here}}</nowiki>

 :I can confirm that this walkthrough is sufficient to complete the game. [[User:126.96.36.199|18.104.22.168]] 21:50, 25 May 2006 (CEST)

Raw Evil?
I've had a long day, and I've been processing a lot of stuff that I'm not in a position to share at this point in my life, so I'm going to drop something out here without a whole lot of preparation. If you don't like it or find it lacking in some way, please accept my sincerest apologies and a full refund.
I'm a big fan of the work of the Reason Foundation, which includes the videos produced by Reason.tv like the one below.
Now, I am not a raw food advocate. I don't agree with the claims made by some of the people in the video about the value of eating solely raw foods. I like my steak cooked medium, my eggs scrambled a little runny, my milk to be pasteurized and homogenized, and generally all of the other pleasures of living in a modern, first-world country when it comes to what I eat.
Ok, I love sushi. Albacore is some tasty stuff. Other than that, cook it.
Given that, why did this video catch my attention? I mean, the police officers storming the raw food club with flak vests and pistols drawn is pretty choice. The staff could jump out and force-feed them raw cheese, I guess. Other than that, though, why should I care?
Well, see, apparently I'm a criminal. I admit it now before God and to all the Interwebs. There's a container of raw goat milk in my fridge.
It's true.
Our youngest child is especially on the itty-bitty side. Our pediatrician was concerned that her lack of significant weight gain was a sign of some greater problem. If she had been showing any developmental problems, or wasn't otherwise acting like a happy, normal kid, we might have agreed with him more readily, but that wasn't the case. Still, we didn't want to look like uncaring parents, so we initiated Operation Butterball and set to the task of fattening the little turkey up.
Problem 1: Apparently, Miss Wiggle-Butt has a hellacious metabolism. All the stuff that makes me weigh 3lbs more the next day just burns right off of her. (She loves her some bacon, though. She's Daddy's cute little carnivore, yes she is!)
Problem 2: Milk-fat doesn't agree with the kid. She loves drinking it, but the end result doesn't love anyone. Those are some serious calories to go without, though. We needed to find a solution.
Thus, the raw goat milk. It seems that goat milk lacks some protein that is very present in cow milk, and it's easier to digest. She can drink it without fear of reprisal. Weight was gained, doctor was appeased, and raw goat milk has been a staple in our fridge ever since. We'll probably phase it out as she gets older.
Until tonight I'd never even tried it. I had no interest. After watching the video above, I went ahead and downed some to see what all the fuss was about. It tastes decidedly milk-like, and I wouldn't have a problem drinking it again. I don't seem to have suffered any ill effects, either.
Very few people do, it seems. It's tough to get data without an agenda attached to it, but according to a summary from RealRawMilkFacts.com (which appears to be straight up about recording facts about raw milk consumption, pro or con, although they do make a big deal about the cons) only about 98 illnesses have been reported thus far this year through August. You have a higher chance of sustaining an injury in a car accident on the way to buy the raw milk than you do of catching a food borne illness from the milk.
I'm not saying you should run out and score yourself some choice goat milk tomorrow. No one should force you to take that risk. You shouldn't even try it if you don't want to. That would be wrong. Of course, having said that, I have to follow that up:
If you shouldn't be forced to drink raw goat milk, why should the people in the video be forced not to drink it? Why should farmers be forced to not produce it for them? What harm are they doing to others that causes a need to intervene? What do you think?
