Thank you everybody for the support. I want to write here the url adress for the contact that disturbed me so the rest of you can file reports! Maybe it will help. So here it is: http://sexkhmer.blogspot.com.
I have a horrible headache! I am going to drink a chamomile tea to help me with my nerves!I did not want to stress you but i turned to all of you because i trust you!Once again thank you!

I have flagged my self!!!!!
I have flagged my self for child pornografy, trying to report that blog!!!!!!I then went to the blog and there is not a flag!!! Mrs b, how did you report this incident? I am technologically disabled and my stress levels right now are not really helping.
Hello everybody!Most of you i have contacted at your own blogs about a situation that is fricking me out! I do not know what to do! I am waiting for some feedback from you guys for two reasons:1. I do not want to overeact over something that is innocent or harmless. 2. Greek authorities are n't known for their cyber crime solving skills and i do not know how to deal with it! Forgive me if i scared you for no reason!
Pagan blog promts... handfasting
Greetings to everybody! This is a response to p.b.p. about how i would get married. As i already told you i live in Greece! Here everybody is supposed to be free to choose their religion but when it comes to ceremonies you have to go either greek orthodox,muslim or jewish! Anything else is not recognised by law.
My soulmate is atheist but our families are christians! He does n't care how we get married but they do! I explained him about handfasting and he thinks the symbolism is beautiful. The wedding is supposed to be about the couple! So we are going to have a handfasting ceremony and then we will make it official with a political wedding! This decision is going to piss off a lot of people. But we do n't care! There is no way to make everyone happy and whoever objects is not invited( this includes our parents as well as the rest of the world). It is a bit radical but it is who we are.
As a couple we had to fight a lot. We left home at the age of 19 and that made my dad to not speak to me for two years. We struggled with money, jobs, surviving while we were finding out we were on our own. It turned out okay because our feelings were true and we feel blessed everyday. It is us against the rest of the world. We have n't found yet the exact spot we want it to happen but we know it is going to be in the forest. We want it to be during the summer( since it is outdoors!). We have no idea who is going to perform it. I want it to be a woman, but i do not know any wiccans! But i have faith that the opportunity will be shown to us the right moment!I want to wear a green dress with cream details and him with cream simple shirt and a cream pair of pants! Right there in the woods we will have a picnic, nothing fancy but with lots of wine! Our friends(most of them musicians like us)will bring with them acoustic organs and we will all play and sing in the forest. At least this is how i am imagining it. We are not rushing anything because we already feel married but i checked it and it is a good astrological day the first of august of 2010(on Lammas). Only problem he is Libra and Saturn will be on Libra by then. Maybe i am overthinking it but i want it to be blessed by the powers of the universe. Tell me what you think! Be blessed my friends!
Christian alert!
I want to say a big thank you for your support yesterday. It feels good to be reassured when you are not so sure about a decision you made! But alhtough i am often pretty goofy, yesterday i was n't making any jokes, so it was pretty weird to find that someone thought it was funny! I believe it is my new christian follower's not so elaborate way to "laugh" at my beliefs, which i find very disturbing! I do not question your faith but you laugh at mine? Why can n't we coexist with love? Why can't we accept each other for who we are? Why can't we be civilised? Why do we have to bring back from Midevil times, fear and stupidity? I would never laugh at a christian. And none of the pagans i know would laugh at a christian(or buddhist or whatever). Maybe i would laugh at the ways they approach and try to convert but never at their belief system. I understand that this is the way to their spiritual path, as paganism is to mine. Is it really difficult to understand this? I do not think so.
If it harm none....
If it harm none do what ye will. Right? It is simple. But what if you know someone is going to misuse an information you will give and harm him or herself? My psychic practice is all about helping people, but i can not lie. I am probably not making any sense but the last couple of days my wiccan path and my psychic "ethics" are giving me a headache! I know what you think, there is no such thing as psychic malpractice, and you can not help someone who just won't help him-herself. Everyone is entitled to his own share of mistakes(hell, i know i am). It is the way we grow and learn. So, should i lie to protect someone from selfdestruction? I did not. If universe gives me information i shall pass it on.
When it comes to spells and potions our choices are clear. No love spells, at least not the ones that would create love, no offensive spells. Our craft should be about love and light and so it is rather simple to know where to draw the line( most of the times). The kind of dillemas we are facing though are not always about our craft. Our life can be so complicated. For example. I know a great kid. She is now 16 and she comes from a long family tradition. When her boyfriend broke up with her she casted a spell for him to never find love. Which is probably the worst kind of curse anyone could imagine. As wiccan my choices were clear. Help the boy, guide the girl. If i were n't wiccan i would probably try to stop her from future similar activities. But binding no matter what your intentions are, is wrong. Crystal clear. But giving someone informations that she will probably misuse is filling me with self doubt. But all i can do is explain to her how this will eventually heart her. That is all. My goal is to guide and not to make decisions for other people.
I am rambling and if you read all this you must now fill dizzy!Sorry about that. I have to start meditating again. It will help me keep a straight line of thoughts.So mote it be..hopefully!
The craziest esbat of all!
Tonight i have been restless! I went to sleep with a cracked window and for hours i heard a dog crying! It was awful! I got up and said to my boyfriend:" i am going to find it". He raised the sheets over his head to show me the annoyance he was feeling and to make me understand that he would not follow me to my wild dog chase!! I went out, followed its cries and I found it rather easily! It was trapped in an abandoned reck of a home. I called the fire department and they could not help me. Then i called the police and after a looong talk i convinced them to send a car to my location. It took them about an hour(ok, i do understand they had better things to do, but i was alone in a dark alley, in front of a creepy place!) to come. When the policemen arrived they explained to me that since i do not want to suit the owner of the dog i would have to wait till the morning and then call animal protection services! My response was: Since i can not break and enter in there while you are here, leave and i will do it myself! And they did! My opinion about authorities changed radically! I was alone again in the dark. I embrassed my self, took a deep breath and climbed on the balcony because the main entrance was unreachable( it was not high) and i found a metallic door with shattered glasses. I put my hand through the broken glasses(i did not get heart!)and found a door knob! I opened the door! The difficult part was over, or so i thought! But then i got really scared. I live in the suburbs and i have never seen a place like that!It was awful.It seemed like drug addicts lived there!And finally i saw him! The poor dog was so scared.I have no idea how he found a way in. When i earned his trust i took him in my arms and set him free. When i jumbed off the balcony i think i heard steps! Then i ran. It might sound lame to you but this is definitely the most adventurus night i have had in my life! And never a stupid thing felt so good! Unfortunatelly the dog was too scared and since his feet touched the ground he ran! I left food and water there and i hope he will come back and find it! My adventure begun at 2 am and now it is past 5 and i am way too wired to fall asleep!I usually write about magick but i felt i had to share the whole thing with you! Besides magick has led me to him. Blessings and love to you all!
The dreadful omellete!
My mind these days has been a little all over the place. It kind of still is. I am thinking one moment a potion i want to make to boost someone's confidence and the next i am thinking about my boyfriend. I can not stay focused on a simple task and i am always focused. I can not dig deap enough to find the reason behind all that. It can be that i am overworked or something astrological, or parapsychological. This is the main reason i have n't been around for almost a couple of weeks. I have been thinking of going back to school( i have taken a break from it for about a year). I like school. School for me is kind of a hobby- vacation thing. I learn about stuff and i get to meet new people. I do not stress over taking my degree because i do not intend to use it( there goes the hobby thing). I visit libraries and study courses that are interesting, instead of staying home and working(there goes the vacation thing).]
In greek universities attention is not mandatory and it is free. So you can take long breaks and not mention it and fail as many courses as you want. Ironically enough, there is not a "greek" system in Greece. We do not have fraternities and sororities. Which is a shame, cause it seems like a lot of fun..Unfortunately our last goverment -and current one- decided that the one great thing our nation had, which is free education, had to be destroyed,so i do not know for how long i get to keep my "hobby". I hope i have n't bored you with meaningless details about my life,or given you a headache from jumping around from one subject to another, but that is what blogs exist(not for the headache part!).
Just now my boyfriend was cute enough to bring me dinner that he made. It was horrible! I have no idea how you can screw up an omellete that bad, but i had to swallow and smile! I did not want to hurt his feelings especially since he was so considerate and caring!!!I have to go before he sees what i wrote. Blessed be**
Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Beltane. I had a lot of fun! Blessed be**
Sorry for the short post but i have to go to sleep. I promise i will come back soon!

About Us
The Student Conservation Association (SCA) is America's conservation corps. Our members protect and restore national parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks and community green spaces in all 50 states.
Our Story
2017 marked the Student Conservation Association's 60th Anniversary. As we look back and remember, what becomes abundantly clear is that while times change, SCA remains a stalwart presence for conservation and our country. The young people with whom we work gain an adeptness, an ability to press beyond whatever challenge comes next.
Our Mission
SCA's mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land.
Our Impact
It happens every day, all over our great country. A 19-year-old in Louisville. A 20-year-old in Des Moines. A 16-year-old in Nome. Every day our youth want to do something important with their lives, and begin to ask, "Who am I?" and "Who do I want to become?" At the same time, every day our parks and natural resources fall into disrepair and are depleted.
Board of Directors
SCA is led by a diverse group of Board Members ranging from leaders in both the public and private sectors who care deeply about the stewardship of our land and the empowerment of young people as conservation leaders. See List of Board members.
Leadership Team
SCA's Leadership Team is also comprised of leading experts in the fields of conservation, partnership development, Philanthropy, marketing and corporate relations. Together, they mentor and guide a staff of over 150 national employees. See Leadership Team bios.
SCA Founder, Liz Putnam
Visionary is an accurate word to describe Liz Putnam. Launching an American conservation service powered exclusively by young people would be ambitious today, but considering that she conceived of the idea in 1953—at age 20—makes her all the more remarkable. While still attending Vassar College, Liz modeled SCA on the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps. and enlisted student volunteers to assist with the upkeep of U.S. national parks and public spaces. Be motivated by Liz's story.
President's Council
The President's Council is comprised of distinguished philanthropic, corporate, conservation and youth development leaders from across the country who have agreed to promote SCA's mission, advise on strategic matters, and assist in raising public and private funds.

The most distinguished and researched set of etchings in the immense output of Pablo Picasso's career, La Suite Vollard presents a deeply personal glimpse into Picasso's life between 1930 and 1937. Amounting to 100 etchings in total, the suite was produced at a critical juncture in his life, both emotionally and artistically. Picasso was rekindling his interest in sculpture while inciting a passionate affair with his young lover and muse Marie-Thérèse Walter, resulting in a tension between "the rival claims of making art and making love." While there is no strict order to the suite, the art historian Hans Bollinger categorized the plates into five main themes – Battle of Love, the Sculptor's Studio, Rembrandt, the Minotaur, and the Blind Minotaur – in addition to 27 miscellaneous plates and three portraits of Vollard. The group of 100 started with eleven that Picasso, or most likely Vollard, had chosen from those made between 1930 and 1932. Picasso then produced about 40 plates in six weeks, and by 1936, he had produced 97. In 1937, Vollard convinced him to create an even 100 with three portrait etchings of Vollard himself.
Picasso was a self-taught printmaker, but in his career he produced over 2,500 prints. La Suite Vollard shifts "from one state to another, from contemplative repose in the studio to brutal, animalistic violence, matched by changes in style from lucid crispness of line to aggressively worked plates." The inclusion of this emotional turmoil, like most of his works, is characteristic of Picasso's autobiographical style: "The paintings, finished or not, are the pages of my journal, and as such they are valid." Each work is meticulously dated with the year, month, and day. At this period in his life, Picasso's relationship with his wife, the dancer Olga Khokhlova, was disintegrating. He was exasperated by their differences in lifestyle and by 1925, the apartment was divided into separate living quarters – the downstairs pristine and bourgeois, the upstairs a frenzied artist's studio. In 1927, Picasso began an affair with Marie-Thérèse Walter, a beautiful young girl with an athletic build and Grecian profile, the perfect muse for Picasso's etchings and sculptures. The Sculptor's Studio group of etchings features Picasso the sculptor contemplating his work as well as his model, the sculptor's dilemma in attempting to create a perfect version of reality (Le Repos du Sculpteur et la Sculpture Surréaliste). Picasso weaves mythology throughout the suite, reimagining the events of his life as a fantastical drama. Marie-Thérèse figures prominently as a sort of Venus, a classical beauty posing for Picasso the sculptor, the scene teetering on the verge of passionate submission. The scene often becomes violent, as in Le Viol and Le Viol II, expressions of emotional and ultimately physical obsession with the subject. He later becomes the Minotaur, half-man, half-bull, "whose power, pride and ferocity he regarded as corresponding to his own personality." In Minotaure attaquant une Amazone, the beast is possessed by "sexual frenzy and unbridled passion," yet in the etching Minotaure mourant, the Minotaur dying in an arena reaches out to Marie-Thérèse for aid, forgiveness, pity. The 16 etchings offered here represent each theme of the suite as well as every stage of Picasso's emotional life, "the bullfight to the end."
Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) was originally from a small French colony in the Indian Ocean called La Réunion. Trained as a lawyer, he opened a small gallery in 1893 where he championed the French painters Edouard Vuillard, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne with solo shows. Throughout the first two decades of the 20th century, Vollard's business sense earned him considerable wealth. In addition to dealing in the most avant-garde artworks of the era, Vollard published numerous books with poetry and illustrations, working with artists such as Auguste Rodin, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, and Georges Rouault. The relationship between Vollard and Picasso began in June 1901 when Vollard gave the young painter an exhibition in his gallery. In 1910, Vollard purchased the originals of five of Picasso's sculptures, and throughout the 1920s, the two worked together to publish Picasso's etchings that would precede in subject matter La Suite Vollard. Having died in a car accident as the suite was being completed in 1939, Vollard was unable to effectively market the works and the entire inventory was soon sold to Baron Henri Petiet, another Parisian dealer who would disseminate sets and single impressions for the next several decades. Picasso was known to sign the edition only sporadically from the 1950s through the late 1960s, and many examples show up today with little provenance and spurious signatures. The following 16 lots were purchased directly from Petiet by the Hatfield Gallery on September 19, 1973 and are unsigned, as many impressions from the suite were.

This is another of an occassional series on why Chinese chauvinists and Cina Tua Kee lovers should be careful about crowing of the coming hegemony of China, and the fall of the US.
A US company is a major beneficiary of the Chinese love of eating fried chicken.
The US-based company that owns the KFC fast food chain has again reported solid growth figures fuelled by demand in China despite increasing food and labour costs in China. Revenue from Yum's restaurants in China fell 2.4% to 19.7% in the last quarter from the year before, due to wage inflation of 20% and an 8% rise in commodity prices. The company says the Chinese market is crucial to its success.
"We opened a record 656 new restaurants and delivered extraordinary same-store sales growth of 19%," said David C. Novak, chairman and CEO of Yum! Brands.
"Clearly our KFC and Pizza Hut brands in China continued to strengthen their category-leading positions."
Yum! Brands has reported better-than-expected profits for the fourth quarter of 2011, jumping 30% from the same period last year. Net income for the three months ending in December was US$356m.

Project engineer selected for loop road project
A former CalTrans official has been named project engineer for the US 50/South Shore Revitalization Project
Former Caltrans Chief of Staff Mark Rayback with Wood Rodgers was selected by the Tahoe Transportation District, it was announced Friday.
"As U.S. 50 (aka Loop Road) moves forward having a person of Mark's extensive experience guiding transportation projects will keep our audiences well informed on all aspects of the project – community, business and technical," said transportation district manager Carl Hasty.
Rayback's current responsibilities on the project will expand to include presentations to community and services groups, local businesses and City Council with informational updates, facts and next steps.
Alfred Knotts, Project Manager for US 50, will continue to oversee the Project Delivery Team, comprised of local, state, and federal partners as well as technical experts. The PDT meets regularly to guide the development of the project and reviews feasible alternatives, environmental impacts, transportation standards and estimated costs.
With both California and Nevada legislatures currently in session, program funding for transportation projects is an important and timely component. Hasty will seek program funding and consensus on the myriad of transportation projects throughout the Tahoe Basin.
Rayback has initiated and successful implemented several high profile and complex projects in the private sector. His project experience includes transportation engineering, environmental compliance, information technology, public outreach and management. He has also assisted TTD with a study for the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Lahontan Region and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection on the Total Maximum Daily Load, for water quality standards.
The US 50/South Shore Revitalization project is a possible realignment of Highway 50 between Lake Parkway in Nevada and Pioneer Trail in California. A reclassification from federal highway to local street status would provide for local area control and development of a local "main street." Various alternatives are currently being vetted through the public process for the Environmental Impact Study. A decision will be made after the completion of the EIS.

"This charming children's story explores loving-kindness. Our protagonist, the All-Seeing Boy, has an ordinary, mostly happy life, but when the people he loves feel sad, he wants to help them. He is convinced that there is really something he can do if only he can figure out what it is. Then one day he meets a hobo named Jason Carper Esquire. This hobo has bright blue eyes, a ruby-red coat, and the answer the boy has been looking for." —Shambhala Sun
"The Blue Sky meditation is such a simple way to practice mindfulness and compassion." —Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer
"British journalist Nick Kettles spins a sweet tale of discovery and compassion in his new 32-page illustrated children's book. . . . In Kettles's book the hobo describes for the All-Seeing Boy the thing that he can do to help others; he teaches him about blue sky thoughts. While not explicitly described as such, the hobo gives the All-Seeing Boy a meditation practice. The child-friendly Blue Sky of Happiness meditation is a simple, gentle visualization that anyone can do to help others feel better."--Michael Jolliffe, Mandala Magazine
"A story well told, beautifully illustrated, with a wonderful message of how our love and compassion can change the world for everyone. —Light of Consciousness magazine
"This charming teaching-tale is aimed at children aged six to ten but will have appeal to adults as well. The All-Seeing Boy is a thinker who hears the Universe calling to him. When the student is ready, the teacher will come. In this case the teacher is a hobo sitting outside a thrift store. Through him the All-Seeing Boy finds the correct questions to ask in order to gain access to the mysteries. It's a classic psycho-spiritual tale, which resonates across religious denominations. The Blue Sky meditation is such a simple way to practice mindfulness and compassion." —Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer
"A beautiful book that shows real compassion for others at its heart. It makes a special goodness-creating gift for any child." —The Midwest Book Review
About the Author Nick Kettles has been published in journals such as The Ecologist, Resurgence, and Wired, as well as in The Times, The Independent, and The Observer newspapers in the United Kingdom. He has also coproduced documentaries for BBC Radio. He lives near the French Pyrenees with his partner, Priya, two daughters, and many animals. pdf

I had posted a question last week about customizing a ToolValidator class and got some very good answers. In working with the proposed solutions, I have created a custom module that performs queries on a db, and will be called by both the ToolValidator class (to provide values for the drop-down lists) and later in the geoprocessing script (to get other parameters based on items selected in drop-down lists). However, I can't seem to actually call the custom module in the ToolValidator class. I have been trying to append to path with no luck. When I try to apply these changes to the script, I get a runtime error: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor. If I comment out import line, no errors.
import my_custom_module
Many of you may be asking why don't I just implement a custom tool with ArcObjects. The reason is that my end users don't have the privleges necessary to register ANY dlls on their computer.
UPDATE: This was happening to me in ArcGIS 10. Interestingly enough, I was initially appending to the path inside of the initialiazeParameters function of the ToolValidator class. If I do the append outside (i.e., on top of) of the ToolValidator class, everything works as expected.
import somescript -------->THIS WORKS
class ToolValidator:
"""Class for validating a tool's parameter values and controlling
the behavior of the tool's dialog."""
def __init__(self):
"""Setup arcpy and the list of tool parameters."""
import arcpy
import somescript -------> THIS DOESNT WORK
self.params = arcpy.GetParameterInfo()
UPDATE 2: I think I found the true cause of my problem. In the code snippets in this post, I have been appending what appear to be real paths (ex C:/Working/SomeFolder) to the sys.path. In my actual ToolValidator class, I was constructing a relative path using
os.path.dirname(__file__) +"\my_special_folder...". I was anticipating that
os.path.dirname(__file__) would return the path of the toolbox, since that contains the ToolValidator class. I have come to find this is not the case. As far as I can tell, the ToolValidator class is never actually written to a .py file, and I speculate the the this code is passed to the python interpreter in memory, so
__file__ is useless, or some temp script is persisted and then execfile(path_to_script) is called, again rendering
__file__ useless. I'm sure there are other reasons I am missing as well.
Long story short, if I use a hardcoded path, the sys.append works anywhere, relative paths don't work so well in the ToolValidator class.

Presented by the Pearson Foundation, This three-day event will feature book readings, author signings, puppet shows, arts and crafts, costumed characters, young writers' workshops and more events, held in the cities of Iowa City, Coralville and North Liberty.
NORTH LIBERTY– For most of us, the holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer. What few of us consider is that the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to North Liberty Fire Department, many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of U.S. home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations also significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires.
CORALVILLE– Everything about Décolletage is a perfect fit.
From its inviting decor and unique merchandise to its warm and experienced staff, the boutique exudes comfort. Open since October, the shop specializes in post-mastectomy breast forms and garments for women who have undergone mastectomy, lumpectomy or reconstruction surgery. Décolletage also offers services and products for women simply in need of a decent bra fitting.

This probably isn't the best place to vent my frustrations as a retailer; the books and consultants tell you that you only want your customers to believe that everything is wonderful and there's nothing you'd rather do than open the doors at 11am and happily count the drawer when you close. And over 31 years of doing this, more often than not, that's been true. But-
What got me going on this was a call from a "Yelp" salesperson, trying to convince me to spend a lot of $$$ to promote our shop on their site. Basically, if you typed in "bicycles" and "Redwood City" you'd get the relevant shops with reviews, but at the top of the listings would be one that someone paid to put there, and it would just happen to feature a 5* "review". So while she's on the phone I start checking things out, and it quickly becomes clear that Chain Reaction isn't playing the game. We're not submitting bogus reviews or telling customers who like us to say nice things about us.
The first part, writing bogus reviews, is simply wrong. We had a former employee post one about us, a ridiculously-glowing 5* testimonial that just reeked, and it didn't take long to figure out who did it. He, as they say, is no longer with the company, and the post was removed immediately.
But the second part, asking customers to say nice things about us… well, I'm sheepish about doing such things, but that really doesn't cross over an ethical line. Well, for me, it does, but in the new world order, it's apparent that my ethical line, the line that must be drawn here, this far, no farther, is in need of repositioning.
Another area that may test my ethical boundary lines involves pricing. I've visited a number of shops and the general practice is to artificially inflate the asking price and either claim it's on sale for what you would normally sell it for, or allow the customer to bargain down the price to the "normal" level. We get seriously stung by this one, because we have a price on the bike and that's the price it goes for, no iffs ands or buts. It's a fair price, it's considerably lower than what the manufacturer (Trek, in our case) lists on their website, and it's the final price. We see it as our first responsibility to make sure we earn that price (meaning that we help the customer choose the appropriate style of bike, fit him or her correctly, and take care of it down the road… it's not just them handing us their credit card and we hand them a bike)! We could sell a lot more bikes if we had them listed for a higher price and made deals. And then what about the people like me, who don't want to haggle, they just want an assurance they're not being taken advantage of? In many cases, our best customers. They trust us. So we should charge them, our best customers, more for the bike because they don't haggle?
The latest wrinkle involves "free tune-ups", a popular near-scam being promoted by various shops. Buy a $400 bike and get free "tune-ups" forever. What's happening is that people have seriously distorted the meaning of "tune-up" such that it usually doesn't cover what the bike actually needs, and there are extra charges for things like wheel truing. And if there aren't, you leave the bike and get it back in pretty much the same condition. We hear these stories; we get the customer's next bike sale, but we lose that first one because they thought they were getting something valuable for free. What we have always offered with our bikes are free minor adjustments forever. We do these on the spot, tweaking brakes or derailleurs or possibly even minor wheel truing, and get them back on their bike. Fast. Done well. And what I can do in 5 minutes is probably better than mechanics at some shops do in half an hour. It's not just spending time on the bike, it's figuring out what needs attention. So do we solve this issue by re-naming our free minor adjustments "tune ups"? I don't want to, but my hesitation to change costs us business.
We've got a very good staff, we aren't perfect but if something isn't quite right we are the place that will bend over backward to fix things. We own up to our mistakes and avoid hyperbole. But these days, that's not enough, and I owe it to our employees and customers and potential customers to learn to play the game and not let our business erode, business that would be picked up by shops that wouldn't take care of their customers as well as we do. But please don't read into this that we're the only decent shop around. Far from it. We are fortunate to live in an area with a number of very good bike shops, shops I'm even willing to name. Bicycle Outfitter. Palo Alto Bicycles. Calmar. Talbots. Good people running those shops, extremely ethical, people who understand the importance of advocacy and each even offered to help out when we were having some serious issues with my son's kidneys and I had to be away from the shop for a while. But there's no question that the good shops, those who will be there for you through thick & thin, are fighting some of the same challenges we are. Ten years from now, I hope we can look back and say things worked out well for us.
This post is a perfect example of my biggest problem. You need to give people something cheap or free and do it in 15 seconds or less. If you have to take the time to explain to someone why they should buy here instead of there, you've already lost them. Look at how long this post is. If you managed to hang on this long, then maybe there's hope. Not for you. For me. 🙂 –Mike Jacoubowsky, Partner, Chain Reaction Bicycles

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Pickled green strawberries are showing up on every restaurant menu this summer but they are really easy to make at home. Discover how to pickle them and more importantly how to use them.
Green Strawberry Pickles: bizarre but gorgeous treat with cheese and nibbles
Picked earlier than their red cousins (and abundant this time of year), green strawberries have been popping up on high-end menus for the last several years. And they show no sign of going out of style any time soon.
Fermenting green strawberries can be done, despite the berry's high acidity. Here's how. They go well with a creamy mild cheese (think brie or camembert), sliced on a sandwich, sprinkled into a salad, or simply stirred into some yogurt or porridge!

The markets are continuing lower so far this morning, not recovering since this morning's economic data.
Below is a series of Point & Figure charts that are generated electronically. I use these P&F charts to help identify key breakouts or breakdowns and to provide initial targeting data.
This morning's action has produced "low pole reversal" signals on most of the major indices. They have all generated targets in approximately the same range, the DOW target being about 8,000 and the S&P about 810. The intraday action usually will not change these reversals or targets as once the technical level has been breached, it's been breached. Spotting these breakdowns is not always as easy on a candlestick chart, but yesterday you will note that I pointed out breakdowns below the most current uptrend lines. These charts now are confirming that.
But I use caution with these charts as the other technical indicators are not in full agreement. Look at the VIX for example. It has broken down and has a target (computer generated) of just 20. The VIX going down further does not coincide with a fairly large move down in equities, although I note that is exactly what's been occurring the past few days – the VIX has been going down at the same time equity prices are falling. That makes your choice of investment vehicles important. Using options with a falling VIX is not wise, but buying them after the VIX has fallen is terrific. In the mean time direct shorting or the use of futures is probably a better option.
Now, before you see these P&F targets and jump on the short bandwagon, keep in mind that the daily fast stochastic is now getting close to oversold and also that in the very short run the 60 and 30 minute slow stochastic have a ways to go before they get to an area where they would normally roll over. Right now the RUT looks weakest which is typical of declines. Right now I'm short, but very small, I'm still being protective as I know that there are still many crosscurrents, but I may add another small short position as the stochastic gets back up into the overbought range (if they make it there). There is a cluster of turn dates between now and the New Year, so any positions will be short term and I will be nimble.

Cup O'Coffee is a Face and Body mask and as the name suggests it smells like freshly brewed coffee and is heaven in a black Lush tub, it is intense, it is great and I love it, even if I didn't like it as a mask, I would still love it for the scent. As for smelling like fresh coffee, well it looks quite like coffee too as you can see, it is a Mocha shade, so not overly exciting bright pink with glitter, but it matches it name especially well and it does do an excellent job.
So Cup O'Coffee is best described as being an exfoliating mask for the face and body and the idea is that you slap it onto your face and body, leave it for 15 minutes and then wash off. It is definitely more of a shower product than one for the bath and it is also one you need to use when you have 15 minutes to stand around in your bathroom, but it is also totally worth it. The pot comes in two sizes, 150g and 325g and the one I have is 150g and it lasted for a few uses. Again, depending on where you use it, how much you use and how often you use it depends on how long it is going to last. The first time I used it was on my arms and legs and I used it sparingly, the second time I used it on my face and the third time I managed to do arms, chest and face before running out. Having applied it to my skin in a massaging motion as I would with any other mask, waiting for 15 minutes in and then getting into a warm shower to massage it off my skin, the scent, once it hits the steam of the shower is just divine, honestly it is like standing next to a Barista as he makes your coffee.
As you might have guessed, the main ingredient of Lush Cup O' Coffee is of course coffee and it is called coffee infusion which you can read more about here. The caffeine within this product is rich, awakening and boosts your blood flow and circulation to literally wake everything up, even you! Also included is Kaolin which helps to cleanser and exfoliate the skin, Coriander Seed Oil which not only warms and soothes tired achey muscles but also uplifts and refreshes where states of tension and fatigue exist plus it is naturally antibacterial and there is also Vanilla Absolute which is fresh and uplifting scent as well as having an antibacterial effect on the skin, it is also naturally rich in vitamins which help your skin to feel more balanced and healthy.
Once you have removed the mask from your face and body, which I always have done (am on my third tub) using a muslin cloth, my skin felt just incredible. Wearing thick tights most days, can leave my legs feeling really dry and scaly, even though I moisturise every morning and evening. So to use this mask once a week, literally removes all the dead and dry skin and leaves behind soft, smooth, moisturised and glowing (on the face) skin which smells so amazing. I think this is honestly the best face and body mask I have ever used, well it must be, I am now on my third tub and still love it as much now as I did when I first got one.

Press Release
Timeline of Jerry Active's Adult Criminal Prosecution Files
Prosecution in 3DI-07-00722 CR ("2007 case")
Mr. Active was arrested by the Togiak Police Department on November 4, 2007, for offenses that occurred on November 3, 2007. Mr. Active was 18 at the time of the offenses. He was indicted on December 14, 2007 on five felony offenses, including burglary in the second degree, criminal mischief in the third degree, and furnishing alcohol to a minor in a local option community. The state entered into a plea agreement with Mr. Active which required him to plead guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor in a local option community, a class C felony, in exchange for a suspended imposition of sentence (SIS). Mr. Active also agreed to three years of felony probation as part of the plea agreement. Mr. Active was sentenced on May 16, 2008 in accordance with the plea agreement.
The investigation of this case did not reveal that Mr. Active committed any sexually-related offenses in this incident.
Prosecution in 3DI-09-00031 CR ("2009 case")
Mr. Active was arrested on January 29, 2009 in Togiak by the Alaska State Troopers for several charges – burglary in the first degree, sexual assault in the second degree, sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree, and assault in the fourth degree. The district attorney's office added counts of attempted sexual abuse of a minor and criminal trespass.
Mr. Active's conduct with the victim – in this case an 11 year-old girl – involved touching her legs and her vaginal area with his hands on the outside of her clothing followed by a physical assault when she started screaming. That was followed by a physical assault on her mother and brother when they responded to her screams. The investigation did not reveal that there was any sexual penetration during this incident.
In March 2010, the state entered into a Criminal Rule 11 plea agreement with Mr. Active to resolve the 2009 case. The plea agreement required Mr. Active to plead guilty to attempted sexual abuse of a minor, assault in the fourth degree, and criminal trespass in the first degree. In exchange for his guilty pleas, the state agreed that Mr. Active would receive a sentence of seven years with four years suspended for attempted sexual abuse of a minor, and 185 days each for the assault in the fourth degree and criminal trespass in the first degree charge. These periods of incarceration were consecutive to each other so, in total, the plea agreement required Mr. Active to serve four years in jail for his crimes. As part of the plea agreement, the state agreed to dismiss the other charges pending against Mr. Active, including the offense of sexual abuse of a minor, and not to pursue any petitions to revoke his probation relating to the 2007 case.
On March 19, 2010, Mr. Active pled guilty to the offenses in accordance with his plea agreement with the state. His guilty pleas were accepted and sentencing was scheduled for June 21, 2010. The state consulted with the victims about the plea agreement, and their right to participate in the sentencing hearing, but they ultimately did not participate in the sentencing. On July 9, 2010, a presentence report was provided to the court in anticipation of Mr. Active's sentencing.
On September 17, 2010, Mr. Active's sentencing hearing was conducted. The judge presiding over the sentencing hearing accepted the plea agreement. Mr. Active remained in jail in this case from his arrest on January 29, 2009 throughout the pendency of the 2009 case. As a result of his guilty plea, Mr. Active was required to register as a sex offender for a period of 15 years. Following his release from prison, the plea agreement required Mr. Active to be on probation for four years with four years of prison time that could be imposed. Mr. Active's probation conditions included conditions specifically targeted for sex offenders.
The plea agreement between the state and Mr. Active was reviewed by a supervisory attorney and was ultimately accepted by a Superior Court Judge.
Our review of the 2009 case revealed that the state entered into a plea agreement with Mr. Active which may have been incorrect and not consistent with the law. At the time of his sentencing on September 17, 2010, Mr. Active was on felony probation following his conviction for furnishing alcohol to a minor in a local option community in the 2007case. Mr. Active received an SIS in that case but the SIS had not been set aside. Under Alaska law, a person who has received an SIS for a felony conviction has been convicted of a felony for purposes of presumptive sentencing. As a result of Mr. Active's felony conviction in the 2007 case, and his conviction for attempted sexual abuse of a minor in the 2009 case, he was subject to a presumptive sentencing term of eight to fifteen years. The Department of Law, the Department of Corrections and the sentencing judge failed to identify Mr. Active's prior felony conviction for purposes of calculating the applicable presumptive sentencing term, and believed that Mr. Active was subject to a presumptive sentence of two to twelve years for what was believed to be his first felony conviction for attempted sexual abuse of a minor.
Accordingly, Mr. Active should have been subject to a presumptive term of eight to fifteen years in prison based upon his conviction for attempted sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree for the 2009 case.
The state primarily relies upon the Alaska Public Safety Information Network (APSIN) to determine the prior criminal history of defendants. When Mr. Active was initially arrested in the 2009 case, the state ran a report from APSIN on January 30, 2009. This report failed to include Mr. Active's prior felony conviction from the 2007 offense. Furnishing alcohol to a minor is usually a misdemeanor offense.
First Petition to Revoke Probation in the 2009 case
Mr. Active was arrested and jailed on November 11, 2012 by Anchorage Police for violating his probation. He was also charged with assault, providing false information, and resisting or interfering with an officer. The charges were in violation of the Anchorage Municipal Code and were referred to the Municipal Prosecutor's Office. Mr. Active was ultimately convicted of providing false information to a police officer and was sentenced to 90 days with 80 days suspended (3AN-12-11824 CR).
Separately, Mr. Active was sentenced to 120 days on January 9, 2013 for violating his probation in the 2009 case. This sentence came as a result of a plea agreement between the state and Mr. Active. Mr. Active's probation officer did not make a formal sentence recommendation in connection with this probation violation. Mr. Active was released from custody on this sentence on February 5, 2013. The Department of Law has not yet received the judgment in this probation revocation, but has received an "amended" temporary order which includes a probation revocation for the 2007case. From this temporary order it appears that the judge sentenced Mr. Active to 24 months with 20 months suspended. The order does not specify if the four months to serve in the probation revocations are concurrent or consecutive.
Second Petition to Revoke Probation in the 2009 case
On February 21, 2013, Mr. Active was arrested and jailed for violating his probation by consuming liquor. On that occasion Mr. Active was contacted by Anchorage Police at a bus stop after being involved in an altercation. No charges were filed in relation to the altercation but Mr. Active was highly intoxicated and admitted to consuming alcohol.
Following his arrest on the probation violation on February 21, 2013, Mr. Active remained in custody during the pendency of the probation violation case. On February 26, 2013, Mr. Active's probation officer recommended a sentence of 12 months for Mr. Active for the probation violation. On April 3, 2011, Mr. Active was sentenced to 150 days pursuant to a Criminal Rule 11 plea agreement between the state and Mr. Active.
Mr. Active was released on May 25, 2013 from the Anchorage Correctional Complex following the completion of his sentence for the probation violation relating to the 2009 offense though he remained on felony probation in that case based on his convictions for attempted sexual abuse of a minor in the second degree, assault in the fourth degree, and criminal trespass in the first degree.

About the lymphatic system
The lymphatic system is made up of thin tubes and groups of tiny, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes that are located throughout the body. The largest clusters of lymph nodes are found in the abdomen, groin, pelvis, underarms, and neck.
The lymphatic system carries lymph, a colorless fluid that contains a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are part of the immune system and help fight germs in the body. B-lymphocytes, also called B cells, make antibodies that fight bacteria, while T-lymphocytes, also called T cells, kill viruses and foreign cells and trigger the B cells to make antibodies. Natural killer cells, or NK cells, also kill viruses and can directly kill cells infected by viruses.
Other parts of the lymphatic system include the spleen, which makes lymphocytes and filters the blood; the thymus, an organ under the breastbone; the tonsils, located in the throat; and the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the spongy red tissue inside bones that makes white blood cells, which are cells that fight infection; red blood cells, which are cells that carry oxygen throughout the body; and platelets, which are cells that help the blood clot.
About non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Lymphoma begins when B cells, T cells, or NK cells in the lymphatic system change and grow uncontrollably, sometimes forming a tumor. Hodgkin lymphoma is a specific type of lymphoma that is covered in another section of this website. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a term that refers to a group of cancers of the lymphatic system that can have different symptoms and signs, findings on a physical examination, and treatments.
Because lymphatic tissue is found in most parts of the body, NHL can start almost anywhere and can spread to almost any organ. It most often begins in the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, or bone marrow, but it can also involve the stomach, intestines, skin, thyroid gland, brain, or any other part of the body.
It is very important to know which type and subtype of lymphoma has been diagnosed because this information helps doctors figure out the best treatment, as well as a patient's chance of recovery or prognosis. More specific information can be found in the Subtypes of NHL section of this guide.
This guide covers NHL in adults. Learn more about childhood NHL.

Can America cut its way to prosperity by reducing government spending by hundreds of billions of dollars – starting now and for each year to come for 10 years?
That's the assertion of tea party conservatives and fiscal hawks in Congress, whose economic plan would reduce government spending by a collective $2.5 trillion within a decade. Most nondefense government spending would get cut by 40 percent, and the share of the gross domestic product attributed to government would drop from 25 percent to 18 percent. The eventual benefit, supporters of the plan say, would be a reinvigorated private sector.
Contrast that with President Obama's competing vision for a renewed economy. His economic fix, as outlined Tuesday in the State of the Union address, is to invest in the education and energy sectors, hold the line for five years on so-called discretionary spending – which has jumped 84 percent in the past two years – and slash corporate tax rates, a strategy that helped kick-start the economy in the 1960s and mid-1980s. He offered a relatively modest $400 billion in spending cuts over five years (not including cuts in defense).
RELATED: Tea party Top 10 winners and losers
The idea that American prosperity depends on shrinking the size and spending of "big government" is hardly new. It was an often-espoused tenet of President Ronald Reagan (under whose administration government spending actually grew, as did the economy). Now that it is finding reborn preeminence in the tea party fold – and in Congress – the approach is being reexamined by economists, journalists, lawmakers, and sundry number-crunchers. Their verdict on how well it would work?
That depends on what the ultimate goal is, and whom you ask.
To fiscal hawk Rep. Paul Ryan, who gave the Republican response to the State of the Union on Tuesday, the nearly $2 trillion in US spending to stimulate the economy yielded only a weak recovery and added to the national debt. Moreover, he and many tea party activists say, taxation, debt, and regulation – including the new health-care reform law – create uncertainties in the investment markets that inhibit investment and private-sector job creation.
"It's no coincidence that trust in government is at an all-time low when the size of government is at an all-time high," Mr. Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, said Tuesday. The Republican Study Committee plan to chop $2.5 trillion off of federal spending "is not just about programs of government, but purpose of government," he said.
The plan calls for across-the-board cuts, dialing back agency spending to 2008 levels for this fiscal year, and 2006 levels after that. It also would end government subsidies for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Amtrak, among many others.
Many economists suggest that America's fragile recovery will be jeopardized by self-imposed "austerity economics" such as those proposed by the Republican Study Committee. The government cuts would cause layoffs in the public sector and among some private contractors, and would remove from the economy an important buttress, they say.
"The idea [of debt reduction] has merit, but I also think it's myopic and kind of juvenile to just pick a level that you were comfortable with before and go back to that level," says Emory University economist Thomas Smith. "The idea isn't to have crazy spending, but what's the appropriate amount of spending, and it probably isn't 'slash everything.' The idea that if we remove government from GDP that void will be filled by businesses automatically because government is somehow boxing out business spending by being a big government, the mathematics there are not that simple."
Business people and voters understand that government stabilizers are needed, especially during crises, he adds, and people's view of government is more subtle than Republicans acknowledge.
Framers of the Republican Study Committee plan see theirs as less a short-term job strategy and more about rebuilding the economy for long-term growth. The undergirding argument – that a leaner, less intrusive, and easier to predict central government is better for private investment, and thus for workers – is one that economist Allan Meltzer of Carnegie Mellon University supports.
This plan "affects people's expectations about the future, perhaps not immediately, but because you in essence tell them, 'Look, we're going to take some of these low-productivity uses the government has for the money and we're going to convert it into investment,' " says Mr. Meltzer. " 'And we're not going to tax you in the future in order to pay for low-productivity programs, because there aren't going to be as many.' Cutting the budget is not the answer, cutting spending is the answer, because if you cut the budget and leave spending unchanged people will know they're going to have to in the future pay taxes to support that spending."
Republicans who back the study committee plan have so far downplayed the potential job losses that a 40 percent across-the-board spending cut would produce, or how that would play politically. "Everything on this list [of spending cuts] pales in importance to saving the country," Rep. John Campbell (R) of California, who was endorsed by several national tea party groups in the last election, told Slate's Dave Weigel.
Mr. Obama, too, acknowledged in his address the looming budget negotiations that Meltzer says will test US leadership on all levels.
"[Obama] is putting out a package which he knows he isn't going to get through the House, and the Republicans are putting out their package knowing they're not going to get everything they ask for," he says. "Leadership consists of doing the things that people may not be convinced will be good for them ... until they see that those things are good for them. Paul Ryan understands ... that people are not going to like many of the cuts that he proposes, but he understands also that they have to be made."

"Tosh." How Apt.
As I moaned last week, while I'm entirely digging the game design otherwise, I'm finding StarCraft II's writing a bit of a chore. At times it seems like it was generated by a machine, or perhaps a horse with a Dictaphone. It can be tricky to demonstrate why I have this distaste for the game's oft-insipid dialogue and characterisation, outside of quoting the flat, tired lines over and over. So I'm going to try and do it through a character study instead: a breakdown of why I'm not satisfied with the approach the game has taken to its chattiest denizens.
Let's talk about Gabriel Tosh: spooky Rastafarian psychic soldier dude. That he's so appropriately called "Tosh" – well, maybe someone was paying attention after all.
Some spoilers follow, and are flagged as such – they're primarily focused on Tosh, but you're still advised to steer clear if you've not finished the campaign.
Kittens mean spoilers. Bears mean spoilers end.
Tosh appears early in the game, as a shady character offering to help you out, and goes on to provide the narrative backbone of a subset of missions.
As with all of SC2's thinly-sketched characters, Tosh is described more by his appearance and vocal mannerisms than by what he says or does. He has dreadlocks, he's a bit mystic, he says "be" instead of "is" – three times within 15 seconds at one point. "This be the moment of truth." "This be worth a fortune." Apart from that, the rest of his English is spot on – but apparently he needs a single vocal tic so that we remember he's Rastafarian.
Ah yes: he's the only non-white member of StarCraft 2's main cast. (Admittedly, General Warfield's importance is stated a few times, but his appearances are very fleeting compared to the rest of the plot-relevant characters). It would be petty and strange to complain about this in itself: plenty of other games (and movies) elect to star an entirely or predominantly white cast, after all. I mean Harry Potter, for goodness' sakes. What I want to go into instead is how trite Tosh's characterisation is, and how that could be perceived. I do not prescribe any negative intent to Blizzard, apart from possible thoughtlessness.
Here are some Tosh-facts:
Tosh is presented as sinister, untrustworthy and self-interested – his motives questioned repeatedly by gravel-voiced hero Jim Raynor and all his allies.
He has a drug habit, though this may or may not be necessary for his mystic powers.
A bunch of his friends are in jail. (Though are all white, however.)
He apparently has only two attitudes: stoned-sounding mystic and murderously angry.
Oh yes, and he has a Voodoo doll. A voodoo doll.
He even carries it around his neck, in case he needs to do any emergency voodooing at a moment's notice. No-one else in the game is carrying a voodoo doll. There isn't any suggestion that anyone else in the game so much as believes in black magic, in fact.
Are we supposed to think he's cool, or think he's quietly villainous? Omar he ain't. It gets worse. Unfortunately, however…
In Tosh's last mission, you're given the choice to help him or bring him down. Do the former and he lives and remains your buddy, albeit with a little bit of threatened knife-crime first. Do the latter and he threatens Raynor with his voodoo doll – but gets it wrong and hurts the wrong guy. What a silly!
Take this path and his narcotics involvement extends to him being a drug-producer and possible dealer.
Take this path and Tosh gets killed. And insulted. Repeatedly. It's not a noble death – it's a humiliating death, in which he's first made to look like both an idiot and a hissing pantomime villain, and then sent out with a cruel, cheap stab to the back of the head, before we're treated to a lingering close-up of his slack-jawed corpse as Raynor celebrates the kill. This savage treatment completely undermines any sense that he's a heroic character, a misunderstood freedom fighter – as picking the other path for this mission tries to claim he is. The game decides you shouldn't feel like you've made the wrong decision, so removes almost all moral ambiguity about Tosh if you choose to turn on him.
He is, as per Hollywood cliche, the first major character in the game to die [Edit – this does depend somewhat on the order in which you play some of the climactic missions.]. And suffice it to say this is not game with a great many speaking-role casualties.
So, let's recap: the game's only major black character is a witch doctor, is too inept to witch-doctorise properly, is a drug dealer whose friends are in prison, and who (optionally) gets killed. It is hugely important to note that there is a choice as to whether the player treats him as a hero or a villain, but picking the latter means he is then depicted almost unilaterally as thuggish scum who deserves to die.
Again, I'm not prescribing any motive behind Tosh's or anyone else's depiction- the problem is that the sheer weight of cliche laden onto this one character alone is crazy. Perhaps more to the point, he's just one more growly, semi-magic, exposition-spouting cipher in gaming's great litany of such supporting characters. Maybe he's a a light-hearted parody of that, but if so I wouldn't say that comes across. He doesn't add up to a fun, surprising or even particularly likeable NPC: he adds up to an exceptionally tired dramatic stereotype. Which is my only argument here – that SC2's characters are nowhere near well-developed enough to escape cliche.
There are (at least) two huge counter-arguments against Tosh being an especially poorly-realised character, and I'm very much aware of both. [Edit – and, as some have correctly observed, a third. Another, hitherto minor black character is promoted from apparent villainhood to much greater importance very, very late in the game.]
1) StarCraft II is far, far, far, far from being the only recent videogame that treats its non-white characters cursorily. I'm not singling it out for that. My point is that big, gloopy spoonfuls of lore and prophecy do not excuse the game's storytelling weaknesses – of which Tosh is just one example. Given how much time we spend listening to them, I wanted more convincing, more interesting characters.
2) The game willfully embraces stereotype throughout. Its white characters are variously: drunks, criminals, jobsworths, grumpy, nerds or despots…
…while the only two female characters with significant speaking-roles are a helpless scientist who immediately falls for Raynor, and his ex-lover Kerrigan, who's been turned into the queen of all chitinous evil, but still manages to show off her shapely bottom at all times. Oh, you can also factor in that the medics are all (helpless) women if you want. The age-old nurse stereotype, clad in power armour.
As is so often the case, this videogame doesn't seem to treat its female characters with a great deal of respect.
So no-one does well out of this, in other words. That may be because the game is shooting for Simpsons-style "if we insult everyone we're treating them equally" blanket-prejudice, or it may be because aspects of the writing may have not enjoyed as much consideration as they perhaps should have done.
If there was more depth and subtlety to StarCraft II's characterisation, I wouldn't have spotted Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Tosh and thought "uh-oh." It's as simple as that. I'm aware that the game's deliberately going for Lucasian breadth in its tale of war amongst the stars, but that isn't excuse enough for characters this shallow and patronising.
Yes, it's an overblown tale about lasers, love and larvae: it's not The Wire. A little thought can make all the difference, however. Surely the world's richest game developer can do better than this.

Things aren't bad. Their better then they have ever been,. Im finely getting answers.
Things are Bad. Their horrible. Just ask anyone.. Don't ask me. Thats not what I think. thats not how I feel. Im heading back land to look around. Like a mountain biker with a backpack heading down a forest trail to the destination pod. To come back one more time and be in the here and now, one more time. I don't know how successful it will be. I don't know. I don't know how. I don't care. Im less afraid of the outside world. I know what it is. I see the outside world. To me its a giant war field.. I see. I feel through my mind, my arms, my legs the PTSD all the time. Layers upon layers. Time zones after time zones.
Life is a giant Psychotic jungle land melded with reality from out their, and reality from in here.
I have more movement. More freedom within it. Hard earned movement away from the Paralyzation of Freeze mode. I still feel the freeze mode and the violations that caused it. Yet, Im able to walk a distance from it and go ride my bike In aggoraphobiaville.
Yesterday , closer to the evening I started to decompinsate. I started to become psychotic again. My brain started giving out again. I was OK . I had to go home. The Agoraphobia began to creep in. And it was time to go home.
Im not mad that Im still the way I am. I always hope that I will be life everyone else someday. When Im not. Its OK. I just go home...
Earlier today:
I woke up this morning to the same depersonalized experience that I woke up to yesterday. It feels Schizo effective , to many times during the day. All the time during the day... Its with me all the time.
Im not sure why Im writing some of my symptoms, I guess Im trying to be the big man. To show off and let everyone know who I am and what Im about. That I am my symptoms... Im not sure. Its like follow me. Or look at me. Im a great God. Something life that. I feel ashamed, Yet Im going to secretly do it anyway... Theirs another part of me that likes the idea that I can write about Whats really going on with me. I don't have to conform to the other side in reality land...
Dissociative Disorder: All the time...
DID: All the time. Its strange. Its like living in a group home. Its a bit disturbing. Its not what I wanted when I grew up. It is what it is... Im OK with it. With my protectors and agitators, and all the children running around.
CPTSD: is with me all the time
Schizo Effective tendencies: With me all the time
Agoraphobia: With me all the time
Avoidance Disorder: With me all the time
Psychotic Tendencies: With me all the time.
Depression comes and goes. Not like before. Before it was clinical all the way, with its horrible bouts that should have killed me.
Suicide: not like before. Im allot better. I still get hit pathologically with it. When theirs a problem with something. I say to myself. I want to kill myself. Why should I live. IT would be better to build a giant building for those that don't like this place anymore, and let them go their and be put to sleep. How nice that would be...
Now to a better place-----------------------------------------------
Yet, Im more connected: All the time
Love of God and relationship with God: All the time; Im on my knees to God thirty times a day
I have some friends: and I can call them and walk with them and talk with them: All the time
12 step rooms are open: All the time
I ride my mountain bike all the time. I can go 50 times as far on a mountain bike then I can walk. The agoraphobia doesn't hit me when Im on the mountain bike as much. I think its because my mind is being preoccupied. The rhythmic cyclic movement of the peddles his hypnotizing. I am safer around people, I can ride by them and leave at the same time.. The Rhythmic and balance of the bike swishes my condition around and around and around like a washing machine... To Its like being in a giant fun house..
Im in personal training to be an artist: not all the time. Im getting better. Its hard with these symptom. With the PTSD. I cant Concentrate on anything for very long. And at times, I forget who I am. And at other times Im locked out of everything, of participating in anything. My mind is gone.
Im not afraid like I used to be. All I ever wanted was a family that loved me the way I am. It never happened. And then I studied for many years and understood, that they were all sociopaths. and sociopaths are not reachable for anything. Their minds are gone. And they help turn the minds of those around them into themselves. To control others minds that they end up like the sociopath. Brutally with contempt, or any other means of cohersion.
The child in me wants out. Wants out to a safe place. I was never safe. I was just good at survival. And because of that I felt good about myself. I felt If could survive I as alive. I never understood their was more then survival. And this did not last very long. Then I was sent to Hell to suffer and burn..
Those around me that stood against me , I never did anything to anyone. Those people have never left. their everywhere. Everywhere I go.
I am the laughing stock at times. At others I am a threat to people. Others look up to me as a savior. How dumb is that....
I come from several backgrounds. I come from no background. I just might heal and survive this thing.
I have not an amount of respect for those out there≥. Out in the world. The world of anxiety, because they have created this world for their own benefit. For their own behalf. Not for mine. I live in the inner world. The inner city brain. The world of many minds and many eyes looks and looks out. All wanting to get out. All crowding around to see first, the opening of a new day...
