I'm becoming quite a fan. In the UK she very much a rising star - a 'celebrity'. Unlike Argentina, models are not household names here outside of the '90s "Supers". Not since Kate Moss have I seen so many newspaper and mags (and even television) devoted to a mere model.
My favourite picture of her:
Yes, I did, love her in that one.
Call me crazy but I can listen to this all day long 
Such a memorable film score 
I play SimCity Creator all the time on my Nintendo DS. To be honest,... it doesn't look like that.
Hey good sir, nice to have another SimCity fanatic around here 
The stunning Maryna Linchuk 
Had to share this particular image as it gave me HUGE Gisele Bundchen vibes here 
I thought this would be a good time to update the books conversation and post my review here just in case you or anybody else is interested :
Since I last posted, I did finish listening to the abridged audiobook (5:30), also available on youtube) of "How the Mind works" (Steven Pinker). It, and its sequel (the Blank Slate) were the Pulitzer Prize finalists for two years. Pinker is a cognitive scientist and one of the top public intellectuals in Harvard. His claim to fame is, like Richard Dawkins of Oxford, to popularize their respective scientific fields for the non-specialist. Pinker popualizes evolutionary psychology and psychological origins of linguistics in his series of books.
'How the Mind works' is my first Pinker. A few brief comments
+This is a book about human nature, and the mechanical, hardwired systems that humans are born with and selected by evolution & genetics..
+ It is exceptionally well written, and Pinker is an outstanding writer. His writing skills are worth acquiring the book alone.
+ I can't think of any introduction to evolutionary psychology that's better than this. This book is readable for teenagers and its core substance is fundamental.
+I regret not reading this book when I was 15, as it would have saved much in the way of mistakes with myself and others. I believe that a teenager would have their entire worldview influenced by this book if they read it early enough in their life. At the very least, they would treat religion, social organization, and political ideology with more caution and insight. It's a good 'first step' to becoming a more aware person.
+Good experience. The Audiobook is narrated very well.
- Just my personal view- but being nonreligious my whole life, I knew in surplus of 80% of it through personal experience or other sources. Unfortunately, I learned some of it the hard way.
- The First half is essential, but also less important than the Second half.
-The Audiobook extracts the substance and leaves out the dregs. I examined the 'dregs' in the book and I personally think that Pinker could have condensed his good writing considerably for those of us that face a time-crisis.
-He uses eclectic, interesting examples more than cited studies.
-----------------------------
I also completed "Diffusion of Innovations". This book is 560 pages long (text) and I read it cover to cover. It is designed as an quasi-academic text so it is very heavily cited, and the footnotes are in excess of a hundred pages. It is interesting and enlightening..
+ It's one of the best books I've ever read. It's a classic graduate sociology text about the diffusion of change among human populations. Very wide application, as these situations can be generalized. Case studies presented from rural sociology, technology, business, cultural, organizational, and governmental examples. It's fundamentally about mass behavior.
+ It's application extends to thinking about how new technologies, products and services are spread among customers/end users.
+It is heavily cited with studies and codified evidence; so it's not one man's fluff theory.
+It's well written so its density is not so much of a problem.
+Reading this solves the cliche' of the S-curve and the technological adoption cycle (so frequently used by marketers). The basis of the second derivative is now explained right in this seminal text. This theory is largely accepted by the high tech community.
-The Text could have been truncated to 400 pages without losing any of its value.

Oy, Welcome back NL 
Cheers dude! What can I say, I kinda missed this place 
Hey good sir, nice to have another SimCity fanatic around here
This place is source of nostalgia, lol. Let's hope that Jennka gets the memo...:-l
Cheers dude! What can I say, I kinda missed this place
Yeah indeed. Although It does appear she is still visiting the place. Maybe she is just fed up with us
Losing Baron and Jennka at the same time...such a knockout blow.. 
Yeah indeed. Although It does appear she is still visiting the place. Maybe she is just fed up with us
I've known her for a long time Mahi. I'd rather not sugar coat it- she's lost some interest in the forum like Baron did. It's only natural and inevitable. I've also been finding this forum to be less fun than it used to be, and my interest in models has matured & moved past its peak :-/
Jennka where you at girl? 
Maybe this will convince our dear Jennka to pay us a visit:
^ A creative mind and wired as fuck dreams is dangerous mix
I don't even know who that is, but that VS gif had me laughing out loud for some reason 
.
^It's better that you don't know. Just an overrated model from wealthy/socialite family who 'hangs out' with celebs, like the irrelevant Rita Ora
