Blog Post #3 A Historical Look at Aviation Accidents

September 25, 2015 Leave a comment
  1. This tweet covers the history of aviation accidents around the globe. I chose it because it is an interesting study and may bring some relief to those who are paranoid about flying or may add to the paranoia of those who don’t understand that even the most airline deaths in a year, 2,375, is less than 1/10th of 1% of the world population. Interestingly, the infographic includes very specific detail regarding the most dangerous place to sit on an airplane and the most dangerous attitude to be at.
  2. This infographic was created based on secondary research. The creators Jane Pong and Adolfo Arranz credit sources such as “,””Boeing,” “Greenwich University,” and “” Pong and Arranz took the information they got from these sources and the Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Center’s “Annual Safety Calculations which include hull loss accidents and incidents in the past 30 years in relation to revenue passenger kilometers.” The creators of the info graphic looked at the number of airline deaths a year, and averaged out where in the airplane those deaths occurred and what altitude those deaths occurred at to create the infographic.
  3. I have two questions in regard to the infographic.
    1. Does this include private airlines or just commercial airlines?
    2. How do these death rates compare to other modes of transportation? i.e. Trains, busses, cars, and boats.

Blog #5: Increasing Community Resilience

November 7, 2011 Leave a comment

The word resilience is defined as a process linking a set of adaptive capacities to a positive trajectory of functioning and adaptation after a disturbance.  Since reading that gives me a minor headache, it can be more simply defined as the power or ability to return to an original form after being altered.  So, this is to say, how quickly can a community recuperate after a devastating tornado? Or how much success can an airline have after a plane crashes do to a preventable technicality?  Therefore increasing resilience would increase stability.  According to  the assigned article,

  resilience can be described as a set of networked adaptive capacities.

This involves information and communication, community competency, social capital, and economic development. These include details such as responsible media, skills of infrastructure, community action, flexibility and creativity, perceived social support, sense of community, and fairness of risk and vulnerability to hazards.

Many of the action steps that we have discussed in class are viewed in the reading as ways to increase community resilience. All in all, preventing, reacting, and planning must be taken into consideration in a hazardous situation in order to increase the likelihood of resilience.  Without planning for possible events of crisis, proper techniques and resources will not be at the hands of organization, cities, etc.  Reacting efficiently and activating clear and relative communication immediately after a crisis and in the aftermath of a crisis allows the public and members directly effected to feel that normalcy can once again be achieved.  Finally, taking learned lessons from the hazardous events and acting upon them will help to instill a since of preparedness that will ultimately complete the cycle of resilience.

Applying an example to a situation from the statements above, we can look at the crisis of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  Many felt that the

 planning by the government was insufficient and had much to do with the ease in which the terrorists were able to enact their plans. Whether or not this is actually true, the media portrayed it to be so in many situations, and therefore the idea was put in the mind of the public eye. The immediate aftermath of the attacks included a vast amount of reactions to the situation.  The government started to make plans of war, acts of security, public apologies etc. Organizations and media began to spread messages and feelings of community via radio and TV ads, as well as donations and aid to the relief.  In the later aftermath, prevention tactics were enabled throughout the United States, many of which we use still use today.  Airport security was heightened immensely after the attacks, and is still at a much higher level today then it was previously to the attacks.  We are still involved in war a decade later, which has the overall goal to keep us safe and prevent the ability for any other attacks.

From this example as well as all other examples of resilience, it is apparent that a lot of work often must go into creating normalcy after a hazardous event.  While this can be achieved by planning, reactions, and preventative steps, it is important to remember that though resilience is strived for, the community, organization, etc. effected by the event must gain knowledge and grow from it, or the point of resilience would not exist.

Community Resilence

Resilience is the ability for a community to come back from a crisis.  For example, when 9/11 occurred, the United States had to come together as a country and recover from the incident.  If Americans did not unite after 9/11, the country would have basically fallen apart.  According to The American Psychological Association there are ten ways to build resilience:

  1. Make connections
  2. Avoiding seeing crisis as insurmountable problems
  3. Accept that change is a part of living
  4. Move toward your goals
  5. Take decisive action
  6. Look for opportunities for self-discovery
  7. Nurture a positive view
  8. Maintain a hopeful outlook
  9. Take care of yourself
  10. Additional ways of strengthening resilience may be helpful

Although these steps are meant for individuals, they can easily be applied to communities.  For example, if people in a community do not have connections with one another, they will not feel compelled to work together and solve whatever issues they may be facing.  Another step says to take decisive action.  We all have been in a situation where no one will make a decision. It become counter productive and nothing ever gets solves.  People need to be willing to make hard choices, while keeping in mind what is good for the community.  A third step says to maintain a hopeful outlook.  It is important for the people involved in the tragedy to keep their hope.  Without it, people begin to give up.

Above is a list of six important steps in maintaining resilience.  By having these six domains, a community should be able to come together and recover.  Community members need to remember all the above mentioned steps to keep increase resilience.  A community that keeps these steps in mind will be better prepared to come back from a disaster or crisis.

Blog #5: Community Resilience

According to Norris and our online reading, an overall disaster readiness strategy is created through the development of four “primary sets of adaptive capacities”. These capacities include, “Economic Development, Social Capital, Information and Communication, and Community Competence.” Now to me, this all looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo so before we get into the communication techniques aspect of these capacities and how they might be used to create community resilience let’s first define what community resilience is. According to Norris,

“Community resilience is a process linking a network of adaptive capacities (resources with dynamic attributes) to adaptation after a disturbance or diversity.”

OR according to Norris, other individuals have their own way of defining community resilience as well. He references:

My favorite way to define community resilience comes from the document (also pictured in Norris’ work) by Egeland, 1993. They define it as,

“The capacity for successful adaptation, positive functioning, or competence…despite high-risk status, chronic stress, or following prolonged or severe trauma.”

So now with this basic understanding of making a positive recovery from a tragedy we can move on to what communication strategies might be used in doing so. Norris touches on aspects of communication that we have discussed in class in terms of getting a message across. He addresses the importance of correctly relaying correct information, using a trustworthy messenger who reflects the values of the community, and how to relay the information. Norris references September 11, 2001 in identifying strategies for communication. He writes,

“Communication infrastructure is also a valuable resource. On the basis of their experiences in New York  City after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Draper et al. (2006) maintained that it is advantageous for a life-line (or hotline) system to be in place beforehand. These communication systems can be ramped up after the disaster to coordinate and deploy volunteers, and later they provide a central means for the pubic to learn about and access services (see also Norris et al. 2006). Media also can be engaged to publicize available services and educate the public about typical reactions to disaster (e.g., Gist and Stolz 1982; Norris et al. 2006).”

Norris calls attention to the common crisis communication theme of planning beforehand. This helps create order when everything appears to be out of place. Additionally, he references the media as a communication strategy. What better and faster of a way to disperse information than through the media. In class we have discussed television and radio usage but most importantly the use of social media as a communication strategy. Facebook and Twitter are phenomenal means to get a message to the public, and fast.

Now how do all of these add to community resilience? The answer is simple. Through the planning ahead communication strategies not only is restoration much easier to achieve but so is dictating how to restore, what resources are needed, and where to locate them. The strategy of media and more importantly social media enhances these objectives. Additionally, social media can serve as a network to establish advocates in the community, a mean for volunteers to be in the loop, and for those affected by the disaster to find comfort and hope. It is through these strategies that community resilience is able to and can be fully achieved.

Community Resilience

Community Resilience refers to the adaptation that the population undergoes following a disaster.

There are many important communication strategies that need to be implemented in order to reach this sense of resiliency:

  • One of the most important concepts of communicating to stakeholders during and after a disaster is to make sure that they are going to trust and listen to the source of information. It has been found that audiences are more likely to listen to a familiar source. Therefore, sometime it is better to send out information through a local source rather than and unknown national source.
  • It is also important to keep messages short, simple, and easy to remember. Detailed plans are often less effective then short, direct ones.
  • Community members need to understand their risks in order to collectively and flexibly get through and overcome disasters. Along with this, make sure members of the community are involved and understand each step of the adaptation.
  • Make sure that those directly affected by the disaster have some sort of social support system directly after the disaster as well as in the months and even years to come. Many people may suffer from PTSD and will need this support to adapt to the “new normal.”

  • Give members of the community a chance to help out and have a say in certain decisions. This empowerment will help members work together for the common good of the community and feel that they have a part in the adaptation.
  • Allow members of the community to share their stories. This is a way for community members to relate to one another and understand that they are not alone. Members can reflect on what has happened and look forward to what is to come.  An interesting case study on this specific strategy is September 11th. Many people have shared their stories over the years and now 10 years later there is a sense of resiliency and oneness.
  • This article highlights the resiliency of 9/11 through story telling and refection

  • Finally, it is important to be prepared for uncertainty. You cannot have a plan for everything and therefore should have a plan to not have a plan.

    Disasters happen all the time and it is important for communities to learn how to work together and communicate with one another in order to adapt to changes and learn to cope with the “new normal.”

Facebook and Twitter can be a very useful tool for crisis communication.  More than 800 billion people use Facebook and the number of people who use Twitter is increasing daily. Most people check their Facebook and/or Twitter multiple times per day and often more than they check their email or the news. Using Facebook and Twitter during disaster response can get the message to several stakeholders in a quick and easy manner.

A good example of Twitter being used for crisis communication was during the earthquake in Japan. I actually found out about the earthquake through Twitter when I saw several people “tweeting” about what had happened. Checkout this article on the reaction to the earthquake: Twitter Users React to Massive Quake, Tsunami in Japan

There have been several other instances in recent years where Twitter and Facebook have been very useful resources during disaster response.

The FEMA public information training fits very well with what we have been covering in this course. It repeated some things that were discussed in class so far and introduced some new ideas.

One thing that the course went over that we have been discussing is the importance of having a spokesperson. This was something that we have discussed several times, with the CDC module, textbook, and now with NIMS. It is important to have a key spokesperson to avoid confusion and to make sure the right message is getting out to the stakeholders. Another thing that we have gone over is staying on the same page. Ways of doing this include; speaking about your own program only, developing 1 or 2 key messages, and coming up with rhymes and acronyms.

Some things that FEMA went into detail on that we did not discuss as much in class were the PIO, JIS and JIC. The PIO (public information officer) is in charge of keeping track of messages by gathering, verifying, coordinating, and disseminating them.

The JIS (joint information system) is the actual system used to coordinate information and integrate all parties involved. The JIC (joint information center) is the actual location where parties come together to gather ideas and messages.

I think that the FEMA training was a helpful addition to this course and helped me realize that the things we’ve been going over in class are real and are used during “real life” disasters.

As I said last December, I decided to do a happiness project, which entails that I do something unusual, strange or, outright silly every month that I would normally not do.  For the month of October, I decided to ask people to answer the question: What is the meaning of life?

Before I talk about people’s answers to the question, I would like to say a few words about their reactions to my question.  In general, people looked at me strangely.  I am not certain whether they thought that I was simply weird or I have just escaped from a mental facility, but they certainly looked stunned.  Some people giggled and thought that the question was a joke.  Still, others politely smiled and tried to change topic.  Basically, asking the question what the meaning of life is taught me that people do not think about this great philosophical question very often and they are very surprised to hear it.

What did people think the meaning of life was?  In general, I found that the answers fell into several categories.  The most common answer was an honest, “I don’t know”.  I appreciate people’s honesty.  In reality, we have opinions, but we really do not know the answer for a fact.  The second type of answer was: “I have not figured it out, yet.”  I heard this from at least ten people, including my coworkers, Mark and Kate.  I believe that these individuals at least have a hope of figuring it out one day.

The third type of answer seems to be hedonistic.  “Eat, Sleep and Have Sex,” came from a 28 years old worker at Tim Horton’s.  My coworker, Steve, had a variation on this idea.  He thought the meaning was to “Eat, Sleep and Pay Taxes”.  The point is that some human beings are looking for somewhat of a good time in this life; although, some are more optimistic about it than others.

The more family oriented people found meaning in having a family and friends.  A 32 years old grocery clerk revealed to me that the greatest spiritual experience she had ever had was giving birth to her child.  She thought that having children and loving them was the meaning of life.  This seemed like a heartfelt story with a wonderful message.

On the other hand, some clever, mentally oriented philosophers jokingly said that the meaning of life was to figure out the meaning of life.  When I asked them how far they have gotten with the project, all of them gave me the same answer: “I am still working on it”.

The spiritually oriented individuals thought that learning lessons or finding God was the answer.  I stumbled upon a devout Christian who wanted me to find Jesus.  I was not convinced about the Jesus element in the story, but it made me think about the importance religion played in people’s life.  A few emotionally centered New Age people tried to convey the message of love.  They thought that loving oneself and others was the ultimate answer.  As noble as it sounded, I felt that they seemed to neglect the desire for human knowledge.

All in all, I have to say that it was very interesting to ask the question about the meaning of life, even if I triggered some strange initial reactions in people.  It turns out that people, in general, have often times strong opinions on the matter.  However, the opinions vary depending on their personality, upbringing, orientation and even career.  So, what is the meaning of life?  It depends on who you ask, as it should be.

Summary: It’s no secret that every once in a while, rumors begin to swirl that Kylie Jenner has had a breast augmentation procedure performed. There seems to be an awful lot of attention on this rumor, considering that Jenner is (as of the time of this writing) still a minor. Assuming that Jenner does indeed want larger breasts, it kind of begs the question as to how old do you have to be get a breast augmentation procedure? This seems like an easy question to answer, but there’s a bit more to it than you might, at first, assume.

how old do you have to be to get a breast augmentation?

Kylie Jenner’s Breast Augmentation

Rumors are swirling, as usual, that Kylie Jenner has undergone a breast augmentation procedure. These rumors crop up every now and again (seemingly, whenever Jenner wears a push-up bra or shows any type of cleavage). This is pretty normal for what most celebrities have to deal with—when they change their bodies (or their make-up), it tends to end up as front page news. But in Kylie Jenner’s case, there’s something a little darker to it. As of the time of this writing, Kylie Jenner is only 17 years old. She’s a minor. And yet, there seems to be an awful lot of ink devoted to her bust size (admittedly, this is included in that).

This shouldn’t be terribly surprising, as we live in a society which continues to sexualize youth—and at ever younger ages. To see Jenner sexualized is, unfortunately, not terribly shocking. We may not like the fact that our culture is one that valorizes youth, that makes youth sexy—but it’s the culture we live in. So while we work to change that, we have to confront some tough questions about our youth. First and foremost, of course, is how young is too young for a breast augmentation procedure. Or, said another way (perhaps the way that your teenager might ask you: how old do you have to be to get a breast augmentation procedure?

How Old Do You Have to be to Get a Breast Augmentation Procedure?

It’s a tough question—it’s a prickly question, and it’s almost like a minefield. So, let’s start with some basic facts. Minors are not allowed to get any kind of plastic surgery without the consent of his or her parents. And that consent is generally considered to be legally airtight. Parents have to sign all kinds of forms. This isn’t just to make sure the plastic surgeon is legally covered, per se, but also to ensure that the parents are making informed decisions. Under these rules, parents are aware of the risks, the drawbacks, the procedure, and the results. In other words, there’s full disclosure.

This is certainly true of breast augmentation procedures. If a seventeen year old wants larger breasts, parental consent is required. Now, this doesn’t happen terribly often. According to the website of the Minneapolis breast procedure experts at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery, most plastic surgeons don’t like to do any kind of breast procedures until the breasts have finished developing, which can sometimes be as late as a patient’s early twenties. In other words, depending on your own biology, a plastic surgeon may prefer to wait until you’re in your early twenties to discuss any type of breast procedure with you.

Exceptions to the Rule

There are, of course, some exceptions to this. Those exceptions generally have to do with breasts that are not developing in the manner they should. This is sometimes referred to as breast asymmetry—and you can infer what happens. For whatever reason—sometimes trauma, sometimes genetics—one breast ends up slightly (or largely) bigger than the other. This can create all kinds of emotional discomfort, not to mention physical discomfort. For these young women, some kind of implant may be the most sensible course of action. Special care is taken to protect young patients in these cases (for example, sometimes saline implants will be used instead of silicone implants).

Of course, that doesn’t stop plenty of teen girls from wanting breast augmentation procedures even if there are no asymmetry problems. Most plastic surgeons will deliver the same message: wait. Plastic surgery is, for all intents and purposes, a permanent alteration of your body. There’s a certain maturity of decisions that comes with age that cannot be rushed. In other words, your desire for implants may not be constant, may not grow with you, and your breasts may continue to develop. Until more time passes, it’s not easy to be sure about any of these things, and the side of caution (which you should be on) is the side of waiting.

It’s Not Always a Public Matter—it’s About You

That said, if you are younger and you have had any kind of breast procedure, it’s nobody’s business but your own. So, on the off chance that Jenner has undergone any type of breast augmentation procedure (to be fair: she’s already had her lips injected, and while that’s a far cry from a breast augmentation, her family is admittedly fond of plastic surgery), it’s really not our business. And we should respect that. For a wide variety of reasons, many women consider their breasts a vital component of their identity and their femininity. At the end of the day, the only person who should be in control of that, assuming you’re an adult, is the patient.

Strange & Norrell

[Edit: last entry was getting into "debate" territory, and really I had hoped not to do that. So, I'm taking my usual route of cowardice and marking it "private." Sorry for any stepped-upon toes or offended sensibilities, either in the original post and its comments or in the removing thereof--and if I get complaints for both posting it and for removing it then I shall be forced to trot out the "damned if I do, damned if I don't" observation. Feel free, however, to get on my case for using strong language like "damned."]

Forgot to mention: I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell yesterday, and am much impressed with Ms. Clarke's achievements. Found the ending appropriately poignant yet upbeat; and very few writers can use footnotes to such fine effect as she has throughout--to name just a couple great things about this book.

Have already started casting the story in my mind, for the 8-hour miniseries I hope someone makes someday. So far I picture Ian Holm as Mr. Norrell, Alan Cumming as Drawlight, and Jude Law (with a wig, naturally) as the gentleman with the thistle-down hair. Haven't decided on Strange yet, nor Stephen Black, nor the women.

Anyway, I changed my LJ "real name" in honor of Strange & Norrell, since the Latin name for a passionflower had been there for so long and was getting tedious. My new selection comes from this passage:

Drawlight had the strangest feeling. It was something he had felt before when magic was about to happen. Invisible doors seemed to be opening all around him; winds blew on him from far away, bringing scents of woods, moors and bogs. Images flew unbidden into his mind. The houses around him were no longer empty. He could see inside them as if the walls had been removed. Each dark room contained—-not a person exactly—-a Being, an Ancient Spirit. One contained a Fire; another a Stone; yet another a Shower of Rain; yet another a Flock of Birds; yet another a Hillside; yet another a Small Creature with Dark and Fiery Thoughts; and on and on.

I am, of course, the lastly-named creature. But you knew that.

*love x9* the quote...it inspires me to check out the book...thanks!
Feb. 8th, 2005 09:26 pm (UTC)
Cool! Hope you enjoy. :)
Feb. 8th, 2005 07:32 pm (UTC)
As soon as I read of the Small Creature with Dark and Fiery Thoughts, I knew something need to be done with it. Possibly I shall write a fanfic for it. Regardless, I am glad you are making good use of the SCw/D&FT.

Isn't the ending cool? Yay for endings that are unpredictable, open-ended but satisfying all the same.

I am afraid that from the very first description of him (his eyebrows are remarked upon in some way that made me think of the Goblin King in Labyrinth) I have been unable to stop envisioning the gentleman with thistle-down hair as a skeletal and pale David Bowie. I am entirely unsure how I feel about that.

Ian Holm, on the other hand, would make such a spectacular Norrell that surely whoever is casting this eight-hour wonder will think of no one else.

It is hard for me to imagine someone who could play Strange, and will only say that in terms of character he reminds me forcibly of Howl of Moving Castle fame. Not that I think the part should be played by a blond anime character, but Howl is a difficult person to think around, so I'm not going to try.
Feb. 8th, 2005 09:19 pm (UTC)
SCw/D&FT. Heheh. Love the abbreviation. She threw in so many of those wonderful images and side stories. I found myself thinking, when reading most of those footnotes, "Dang! I could write a whole novel around that little anecdote!" And she's just tossing 'em in as asides. Most humbling, to those of us who aren't so hot at coming up with interesting storylines.

Bowie would be awesome as the thistle-down hair gentleman! Very fairy-like indeed. Would make up for his not getting to play Elrond. Hmm, not familiar with Moving Castle, so can't comment there. But yeah--I just couldn't picture anyone other than Ian Holm when they first described Norrell. :) Probably due to Norrell sounding like Bilbo in some ways...though of course much less adventurous...

Holiday Weekend with the Lotus

As if a Maserati weekend wasn’t enough, now I am having a Lotus weekend. Specifically, a Lotus Evora weekend.  How did this happen?

A very generous friend of mine owns a Lotus Evora, something I didn’t even know until this past week! See what happens when you start sharing your passions with others? Anyway, he was going out of town and suggested that I, being the car fiend I am, take care of his Evora until his return. Um…okay!

I picked the Lotus up on Saturday, and have been spending this long weekend getting acquainted with her. Yesterday, we ran errands, in a little test of daily livability. (Plus, I was out of groceries.) Today, I let her stretch her legs a little on some nice, windy back roads in the area. So far, we are pretty pleased with each other.

There will be many more photos, as well as an in-depth review, to come, but here are a few snaps of my time with her so far.

Lotus Evora front

Lotus Evora 2

Lotus front 3-4

Lotus gauges 2

Tach goes to 9000! Top speed is 180! I will not be testing either of those, but I sure do like them conceptually.

Lotus cupholder

There are no cupholders. Repeat: no cupholders. I love it – this car is strictly about driving. And who knew the British were even more withholding than the Germans?? Don’t worry, though – your Big Gulp may not fit, but you can put a dainty bottle of water in the little storage compartment in the door. Which is just to keep you from becoming dehydrated in the triple-digit heat of late August in Texas, particularly while the Evora’s mid-mounted powerplant unspools behind you.

Lotus errands

It all fit! Who says a tiny, lightweight sports car is impractical?

Stay tuned for more (safe, responsible) Lotus adventures!

ByNathan Archer, writer at

I call myself a film fan but I still haven't seen some of cinema's greats (like The Godfather), Pulp Fiction is one of these films. Pulp fiction is a Quentin Tarantino film with a all star cast including Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and John Travolta in a film of a few short stories revolving around a couple of gangsters, a boxer and others.

There are a lot of positives to this film, which include: a very entertaining story, great acting, great humour and the stories linked together quite well. Samuel L. Jackson is great as always and all the other performances in the film were really good; there are lots of very memorable scenes (some of which I have seen before) that will stick with me forever, just overall this film is really entertaining. There is also one small negative, that unlike Sin City there really isn't a strong plot to this film which I would've liked but this doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the film.

Overall this film is really good and very enjoyable and I can see how it is a classic, so taking everything into consideration I rate this film:

Armin Arlert was born on a cold November night. As soon as Armin was born, his mother, Liana, looked at him before resting her head back on to the sweat-drenched pillow, and demanding that the baby be taken away.

The midwife stopped what she was doing and looked at Liana. "M-Ms. Arlert, you can't be serious! this child is your only heir!"

Liana glared at the midwife. "Yes, I am quite sure. Now be rid of it. His father and grandfather live in Shingashina district. Take him there if you must."

The midwife scooped up the baby and bowed to Liana before bustling away.

The young midwife wrapped the fair baby in a soft cotton blanket and hurried to the orphanage. As soon as she reached the door, she dropped the baby on the stoop and rang the bell before leaving quickly, leaving behind Armin and a note she had written.

To whom it may concern. This child's name is Armin Arlert, and he is but one day old. Please entrust this child to someone who will care and love it, preferably his father, in Shingashina district.

Five years later

Armin ran down the stairs, squealing with laughter.

The young child's father chasing him, growling like a bear. "Rawwwr, I'm a scary scary titan that's gonna eat you up, Armin!"

Armin tried to jump down the last few stairs but slipped and tumbled down.

" Oh no, Armin, I'm sorry!" He said as he ran down the stairs and scooped up the little boy.

Armin sobbed into his father's shoulder.

His father shushed him. "It's okay, Armin, It's just a little boo-boo."

Armin sniffed and looked up at his father.

"Daddy, my knee hurts.." He said, lower lip trembling.

Just then, Armin's step mother came in, drying her hands on a towel.

"What happened, dear?" She said, walking over and kneeling down by Armin and looking at his knee. "Oh my...We'll have to take him over to the Jaeger's, and have Kalura take a look at him."

Armin's step mother knocked on the Jaeger's door, Armin sniffing and holding her hand. Soon enough, the door opened, revealing a boy about the same age as Armin, with dark brown hair and large, curious chocolate eyes.

"Hi, Eren," Said Armin's mother "Is your mother home?"

Eren nodded and closed the door with a quiet click. A few seconds later, A thin woman that looked like Eren came to the door.

"Hi Kalura, Armin fell down, and I was just wondering if you could take a look at him?" Asked Armin's step mother, smiling softly.

"Oh! Why, of course!" Said Kalura "Come on in."

The Arlerts were led to homey kitchen, where Kalura had Armin sit on the table. "How and where did he fall?" Asked Kalura, looking at Armin's step mother.

"He jumped down the stairs." She replied.

Kalura laughed and walked back over to Armin, and within minuets had fixed up the young boy.

Four years later

Armin looked out the window at the young girl that was with Eren and Eren's father, Grisha. Armin later learned that her name was Mikasa. They played together, from the beginning of the day to the end. Armin would constantly wonder about what was outside the walls of the city, and be bullied for it, only to be rescued by Mikasa.

Four Years later

Armin was being bullied again by some kids that barely knew him. The biggest of them was hold Armin against the wall, while the smaller two pinched and mocked him. Armin was barely saved by the timely appearance of Eren and Mikasa, who appeared just as the bullies were starting to punch him. The year was 845, and the great Titans would destroy the city in only a mere half hour. This was the fall of humanity, and the beginning of and epic story.

If you saw [Mad Max: Fury Road](tag:41445) and fell in love with the post-apocalyptic creepiness of the characters portrayed in the film, you may want to make this purchase. It's a respirator mask that mimics the mask that Immortan Joe wore while riding along the Fury Road.

Perfect for cosplay or for just sitting at home feeling like a brutal dictator and water coveter, this purchase is a no-brainer for many fans. Check out the description of it from Etsy seller thomasotom:

This is a lifesize wearable mask measuring 19cm wide, cast in cold cast aluminium fibreglass with resin and rubber parts. It comes with an adjustable elasticated strap and foam padding on the inside.

Take a look, what do you think?

I plan on buying one of these and turning all of the water spouts in my house on and purposely spilling it everywhere just to prove I'm a bad-ass.

Go see Mad Max if you haven't yet!

Mrs Tink visits Amytis Gardens also known as heaven on earth

For many years I’ve heard people rave about Amytis Gardens Retreat, Day Spa and Cooking School. I’ve heard about the sensational cooking classes, the tranquil accommodation and the relaxing day spa. I’ve seen their pictures enjoying all that Amytis Gardens has to offer and mentally added it to my to-do list for when I had some time off.

Recently that day arrived when I was invited by the beautiful Anita to venture out to Amytis Gardens and indulge in a Coconut Body Wrap. I was tickled pink at the prospect of some much needed R & R so jumped online to find out more – and that’s when I saw it was located in Kiels Mountain. I was crushed, it was too far for me travel and still make it into the office and pick up the kids all in the same day. I relayed all this information to Mr Tink who said, “Do you even know where Kiels Mountain is?” “No, but it sounds like its miles away up a mountain”, I promptly told him. Mr Tink jumped on trusty Google (what on earth did we do before Google?) and typed in ‘Kiels Mountain’ exclaiming, “Really? It says it’s only 10 minutes from here”.

Having lived on the coast for most of my life I found this hard to believe, how could it be only 10 minutes up the road and I’d never heard of it before? Even more curious, I called Anita to book in my appointment and entered the address into the Sat Nav. I crossed my fingers hoping that Google was right, and to my delight the Sat Nav backed it up saying that the destination was 10 minutes away. I felt like a kid with a pirate treasure map, travelling a road I’d never been on before hoping for buried treasure. After a 10 short minutes of driving along roads that I had no idea existed, I struck gold and found the Amytis Gardens driveway.

As I drove in I was in awe at the magnificent estate, each part of it was unique and you could feel tranquility in the air. I passed the beautiful chalets and decided I had to bring Mr Tink here for a getaway. As I approached reception I saw the famous cooking classes’ kitchen and the spa rooms. Still shaking my head in disbelief I was astounded I’d never been out here before, I’m a spa guru and I pride myself on being a bit of a spa floozy, I thought I’d seen them all. I parked my car and made my way up to reception while soaking in all of the surroundings.

In reception I was greeted by Anita and her mum, who are two of the warmest and friendliest people you will ever meet. Anita was excited to take me to the land of relaxation and led me through to the lounge area for a hot tea, to fill out my paperwork, and explain the treatments.

Amytis Gardens is unlike any spa I’ve been to as there are no shelves lined with expensive products or flashy bright lights and white furniture. Instead I was met with a lovely, homely feel much like being away in a bed and breakfast or luxury homestead. I snuggled into a comfy lounge as I drank my delicious tea, instantly feeling relaxed. The surroundings were warm and comforting, putting you in a state of calm as the hustle and bustle of life literally just melts away. Afterwards, Anita took me for a quick walk around the grounds to my treatment chalet which was filled with a warm ambience. I stripped down to my knickers and jumped up on the bed ready to drift off.

To begin Anita used a wonderful warm Frangipani, Monoi Coconut based oil which she ran down my body and massaged in, followed by a Lavender and Mungbean exfoliation which was also warm, and then finished with donkey’s milk bath products. When she had done both sides of my body she wrapped me up in plastic (there’s a sight for you – me wrapped up like a salad roll) and then placed blankets on top to keep me warm… This was bliss! I was in such a euphoric state I could’ve melted into that bed. Anita gave me a head and face massage which really took things to the next level, I was so relaxed I was drooling! Talk about bliss – this treatment was sensational. After approximately 20 minutes it was time for a warm shower to rinse. As the products washed away, my skin sparkled and glowed thanking me for all the love. When I arrived my arms and legs were scalier than a lizard but now they were as soft as Miss One’s toosh.

This is one treatment I want to shout from the tree tops because I think all women deserve this type of R&R, especially for Mother’s Day. So in the spirit of Mother’s Day the amazing team at Amytis Gardens are giving one lucky reader a Coconut Rub and Milk Wrap. To enter simply tell me why you would like to WIN? The judges will choose their favourite answer and announce a winner on the 2nd of May at 10pm.

Good luck xx

[GMS] Vote on Chaos World Name!!

Nexon’s giving us, their loyal players, the choice of one of the new worlds that’ll be arriving with the Chaos update this June. Vote away at http://maplestory.nexon.net/FunStuff/Polls.aspx?contentNo=&pageIndex=1.

Nexon America aren’t using the English names that Nexon Korea gave to some of the servers and Nexon America’s translations are terrible in my opinion.

Nexon’s Korea’s English name is now Nexon America’s English translation.
Stius is now Steers.
Hacerlo is now Hasselo.
Kastia is now Castia.
Culverin is now Culverine.
Fleta is now Pleta.
Meriel is now Marielle.
Medere is now Meder.
Kalluna is now Kaluna.

Please Nexon, consider converting to the original English name from Nexon Korea as seen above. Your translations suck.

On the bright side, Plana, Leona, Aster, Dar, Ryuho, Mir, Nova, Cosmo and Androa have retained their awesome Nexon Korea English name.

Posted on May 24, 2011, in Global MapleStory, Nexon America, Update and tagged , , , , , , , , , , . Bookmark the permalink. 6 Comments.

  1. Ew, those names really are worse. I like Nova or Ryuho the best! 😀
    Which one did you vote on?

    • I voted for Ryuho. But most of them are really good so it was hard to choose. I also like Leona, Mir, Nova, Cosmo and Androa. I’d also like Meriel, Medere and Hacerlo if Nexon America changes back to Nexon Korea’s names.

  2. Its so hard to choose i want leona,mir,ryuho but i also want nova and hopfully nova will be the new scania..hopfully

    • why hopefullly, and whats so good about scania, its over populated, or is that just what you mean so you can play scania without lagg 😉

Class of the Week: Week #2

February 27, 2010

Name: Mobile Sniper

Primary Weapon: M21 w/ ACOG

Secondary Weapon: USP .45 w/ Akimbo

Equipment: Claymore

Special Grenade: 2x Stun Grenade

Perk 1: Sleight of Hand Pro

Perk 2: Stopping Power Pro

Perk 3: Ninja Pro

Death Streak: Pain Killer

Overview: I actually came across this class by mistake really. For my next Class of the Week, I wanted to do something with a sniper rifle. I first used a Silenced M21, but I was usually going even with that. Then I unlocked the ACOG and only used it to complete the challenge for the Thermal, but I ended up going 70-10 or something one Demolition game with the Akimbo USP’s and M21 w/ ACOG, and I thought that this needed to be a Class of the Week class. Any who, time for my overview.

Selecting the appropriate sniper for a mobile sniper class wasn’t too difficult. Since it was going to be ‘mobile’, I figured the only bolt action sniper wouldn’t be sufficient, so the intervention was eliminated. Next was the Barrett .50 Cal, which I think has too much kick to be an efficient mobile sniper rifle, although it is the most powerful semi automatic sniper rifle. Lastly it came down to the WA2000 vs the M21 EBR. I selected the M21 EBR because it might have a slightly lower damage and an equal fire rate, but quite frankly, it looks better with an ACOG than the WA2000 does. Also, by the time you unlock the M21 EBR, you should already have Pro for all 3 of the perks used in this class, and getting the akimbo USP .45’s is just a matter of using them for a little while.

Secondly, I chose the akimbo USP .45’s for a couple of reasons. First off, the Hand Guns are probably the most underrated secondary weapons in the game. Next, I chose akimbo because it can dish out twice the amount of damage in the same amount of time a single USP .45 can, plus, it has a decent sized clip so you can take down 2-3 people without reloading, and even if you need to reload, using Sleight of Hand Pro makes you reload uber quick to get you back in the fight. Also, the akimbo USP .45’s are pretty accurate for not being able to aim down the sight. Lastly, akimbo USP .45’s look uber sexy.

For Perk 1, I chose Sleight of Hand Pro for 2 reasons: (1) To reload my weapons quicker. Plain and simple. (2) The Pro upgrade allows you to aim down your sights quicker, which is good when using the M21 EBR because the majority of your fire fights and shooting will occur in short – medium range, and because you will be using a semi automatic sniper rifle and will be going up against assault rifles and SMG’s, so you’ll need all the advantages you can take.

Now for Perk 2. I chose Stopping Power Pro because while it will take 2 shots with the M21 regardless of whether or not you have Stopping Power, I feel more comfortable with it than without it, especially with the USP .45’s, which need the added damage boost. Plus, with Stopping Power, the M21 can take down enemies in 1 shot, which won’t happen (excluding head shots) without it. But if you wanted to use something other than stopping power, then I would recommend using Hard Line or Light Weight.

Lastly is Perk 3, which again I use Ninja Pro, and once again I use it to keep myself off of my enemies Heartbeat sensors, and to silence my foot steps. There’s not much really else to say about Ninja Pro. I use it so I don’t hear myself and so I can hear my enemy more easily.

Now, I consider this a flanking style class rather than a head on attacking class, because if you decide to take on the enemy head on, yeah you’ll probably take down one person, maybe even 2, but you’ll be lucky to ever get a 3+ kill streak going. As you will see in the video, I spend much of the match running along the sides/edges looking for solo players to take down. This class is made for taking people on 1v1 anywhere from short-long ranges (usually just short-medium, but you can get the long range snipes with the ACOG). Furthermore, I find this class is much better suited for objective based games rather than team death match games because most players focus on the objective when playing, and tend to ignore the rest of the game, which makes it easier to flank them and take them out, where as in TDM, the whole point of the game mode is to eliminate the enemy, so your enemy is going to be searching for you, and focusing on you rather than an objective.

Suggested Game Modes: Domination, Demolition, CFT.

  • Good for any range
  • Quick to reload/aim down sights
  • Agile, speedy class
  • Good in 1v1 fire fights

  • Weak against multiple enemies at once

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. Thank You.

Class of the Week: Week #1

February 23, 2010

Name: I ❤ Nub Tube

Primary Weapon: Scar-H w/ Grenade Launcher

Secondary Weapon: None

Equipment: Claymore

Special Grenade: 2x Stun Grenade

Perk 1: One Man Army Pro

Perk 2: Danger Close Pro

Perk 3: Ninja Pro

Death Streak: Pain Killer

Overview: Alright, to begin the overview, I wanted to start with the primary weapon and attachment for it. The assault rifles are the only type of weapons that can use the M203 Grenade Launcher, thus I had a limited choice of weapons to use with this class. I chose the Scar-H for a number of reasons: (1) In my opinion, it is the strongest AR bullet-for-bullet, even without using Stopping Power; (2) The iron sights on the Scar-H are probably the best iron sights of any of the AR’s; (3) It’s good for long range ‘sniping’ as well as close quarter combat; (4) Lastly, the grenade launcher is a great attachment that can defend or attack an objective and easily destroy the enemy team. The main problem with the Scar-H is it’s small clip size, but I have a quick and easy solution for that:

One Man Army Pro (OMA). OMA lets you change classes any time while in combat. This takes about 5 seconds and leaves you completely vulnerable. You can’t switch to your main weapon, knife or use equipment while using OMA. That’s where OMA Pro comes into play. OMA Pro cuts down the time it takes to switch classes in half, from 5 seconds to roughly 2 1/2 seconds. This comes in handy when in a fire fight and you need ‘quick’ ammo. The point in using OMA Pro is that you can switch to the same class (ironic huh?) over and over again, and basically start with a full combat load that you would normally start with when respawning. I chose this over Scavenger Pro because that requires you to go out and find a dead body, where as OMA Pro allows you to resupply any where and any time. Note: OMA also takes up your secondary weapon spot.

Next is Danger Close Pro. Danger Close increase ALL explosive weapon damage, whether it be grenades, claymores, C4 , grenade launchers or rocket launchers. This is the entire reason for using grenade launchers on the Scar-H. Those grenades will do about 50% more damage than normal. The best part about Danger Close is it’s Pro upgrade: Air support does more damage. So now whenever you get your Harrier or Pavelow, or whatever it may be, you can rely on them to get you the much needed kills to get that next Kill Streak. This is especially good for AC 130’s, which normally takes anywhere from 2-3 automatic 45mm rounds and the 1- 105mm shot, but can now take them down easily in 1-2 45mm rounds shots and the 105mm shot has a bigger explosion. This helps prevent the enemy from shooting down your air support, and helps your team win.

Lastly is the Green Perk: Ninja Pro. The main reason I use this is for the silent footsteps, which is the Pro upgrade. I hate hearing myself walk. Ninja by itself prevents the enemy from spotting you with the Heart Beat Sensor, which is one of the most disheartening ways to die. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen people rely 110% on their heart beat sensor, when all it takes is a little ninja to kill you.

That’s about it for the main class. I don’t really need to say much about the Death Streak…but I find that I get most frustrated when I get spawn killed over and over again, so that’s why I use Pain Killer, which gives you about 3x the normal health you would have. Also, my preferred Kill Streak setup is: Harrier, Chopper Gunner, Nuke. I feel like this is one of the best classes for getting a nuke, but if you’re not into nuking people, it’s really easy to get 5 kills to receive a Predator Missile, so you could go with: Predator Missile, Harrier, Chopper Gunner.

Suggested Game Modes: TDM, Domination, Demolition, CFT, Sabotage, and Free For All.

Sorry about the ending of the video. The host quit and it disconnected us.

  • Great for long kill streaks
  • Useful in almost every game mode
  • Good for any level of skill
  • Doesn’t require high level to attain

  • You WILL be called a noob

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. Thank You.

Blog is Now Up!

February 22, 2010

February 22, 2010: A date that will live in infamy! Well maybe not infamy, but today is the first day that MW2 Unique Classes will be online. This is a little project of mine to try and help other MW2 gamers expand their views on certain weapons/ perks/ equipment/ etc.

What I will be doing is each week (usually on the weekends), I will post a “Class of the Week”, where I will post a unique class that I’ve come up with and go into great detail about each part of the class, from the primary weapon’s attachments to the death perk, and every thing in between. I will also try and post a short clip, probably 3-5 minutes, of game play using that specific class to show it’s strengths and weaknesses.

Along with my “Class of the Week”, I will also sporadicly upload posts about specific weapons, maps, game modes, perks, etc. Here I will go into great detail on that specific thing and on that specific thing only. Usually these will show up randomly during the week when I have a little off time from work. Here I will include challenges, stats, sniping locations, or whatever.

I should be able to get my first Custom Class up later today or early tomorrow. Please be sure to check back soon to see if I’ve updated the site.

Have any suggestions or questions? Leave a comment!
