Install Notes
Video Drivers
Users have the choice between the open source ATI video driver or the closed source Catalyst video driver.
In order to use the open source driver you must have at least kernel 2.6.38.
The open source ATI driver has flawless performance (including suspend). Gnome 3 works well with the open source ATI driver.
The Catalyst drivers do offer better 3D performance but usually have various minor issues (such as suspend support). As of kernel 220.127.116.11, suspend appears to work fine with this computer while using the catalyst drivers.
The Thinkpad X120e can come with one of two wireless cards.
- The Realtek BGN Wifi card currently is supported by rtl8192ce from AUR.
- The 2.6.38 kernel includes support for this card, but suffers from intermittent hard locks when associating with an access point. The AUR driver linked here does not suffer from this problem. (The Ubuntu folks seem to have the same issue with the x120e and the module included in the kernel.)
- The rtl8192ce package is no longer in the AUR. The driver can be downloaded from Realtek here.
- The Broadcom ABGN Wifi card is currently supported by broadcom-wl from AUR. See the Broadcom wireless wiki page for more info.
The kernel modules work, but the HDMI audio is the primary device (not the speaker). You can swap that:
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }
Note: Alternatively, you can accomplish the same thing by configuring the snd-hda-intel module:
$ grep snd-hda-intel /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=1
By specifying index you no longer have to specify the default in .asoundrc
TrackPoint Scrolling (wheel emulation)
To enable scrolling with the TrackPoint while holding down the middle mouse button, create a new file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf with the following content:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
There are more details about how this works on the Xorg page.
Disabling the TrackPad
If you try to use your x120e lying down you will notice its very easy to hit the TrackPad buttons and invert the functionality of the other inputs(fun).
To disable the buttons and pad add the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptic.conf:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection
And install the synaptics driver from extra:
# pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
You can now toggle the TrackPads functionality using the synclient utility:
$ synclient TouchpadOff=0 ; enables $ synclient TouchpadOff=1 ; disables
If you want this to be permanent add the option to your Xorg config:
Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
Power Management
Enable Thinkpad ACPI
To have the thinkpad_acpi module load everytime at bootup add it to MODULES=() in /etc/rc.conf
This module allows you to see and control various aspects of your Thinkpad from /proc/acpi/ibm
Disable Bluetooth
To save some power you can disable Bluetooth:
echo "disable" > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
If you want to disable Bluetooth at every boot just add that line to /etc/rc.local
CPU Scaling
To enable dynamic CPU Frequency Scaling first add powernow-k8 to MODULES=() in /etc/rc.conf Next add the following to /etc/rc.local:
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
If you wish to have the ondemand governor ignore niced (background) processes when deciding whether to increase CPU speed:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load
ATI Video card Powersaving
Under the opensource ATI video card driver you can control the clockspeed of the GPU. The recommended setting is:
echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
This enables dynamic frequency switching based off of GPU load. Further information on this topic can be found in ATI#Powersaving.
SATA Power Policy
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
Will tell hard drive to minimize power use.
Sound card Powersaving
Because the sound card in the X120e isn't actually an Intel card (even though it uses the Intel HDA driver) I'm not sure if this actually does anything. Doesn't seem to cause any problems though.
echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
CPU Undervolting
Using PHC
The Fusion Processor can be undervolted with the PHC-K8 tool. See PHC for usage information. For the AMD Fusion you'll want to download phc-k8 from AUR.
"24 26 52" is what I have my E-350 set to. The three numbers represent 1600mhz, 1200mhz and 800mhz.
Using tpc
Another method for undervolting is tpcAUR. It is more intuitive then PHC tool and needs Kernelmodule cpuid and msr.
Information output available cores and current frequencies and voltage:
sudo tpc -l
Example how to use
tpc -set core all pstate 2 frequency 825 vcore 0.825 tpc -set core all pstate 1 frequency 1320 vcore 1.2250 tpc -set core all pstate 0 frequency 1650 vcore 1.3000
Fan Control
The X120e's fan spins constantly but luckily can be controlled by the user.
To enable manual fan control place the following into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
Now you have to reload thinkpad_acpi module or reboot your Netbook.
# rmmod thinkpad_acpi && modprobe thinkpad_acpi
Now it should look like that:
# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan status: disabled speed: 0 level: 0 commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed) commands: enable, disable commands: watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))
At this point the fan will still be safely under the system's control. You can either directly modify the values in /proc/acpi/ibm (NOT RECOMMENDED. e.g. 'echo level 1 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan') or install a fan control daemon such as [thinkfan].
Suspend and hibernation
Suspend works out of the box, but hibernate may fail - the system usually hangs with a black screen and a blinking power button led. To fix this we need to modify the hibernation mode; using pm-utils is just a matter of creaing a file /etc/pm/config.d/hibernate_mode containing a single line:

The question was one Hunter Hillenmeyer didn't want to answer.
It was 2010, and the Bears had just placed him on injured reserve after the third publicly documented concussion of his eight-year career. After meeting with reporters at Halas Hall, he was asked how many concussions he had actually suffered.
"Now isn't the time to discuss that," Hillenmeyer said.
Sixteen months later, the time has come as he wages a fight to receive what the NFL Players Association says is $900,000 due him according to the collective bargaining agreement after two doctors, one the independent neurological consultant for the Bears, recommended he no longer play...

Continued improvement by the Hood River Valley High Eagles football team was evident Friday evening with the team's 45-19 road win over the Redmond Panthers. For the Eagles (1-2), guided by coach Caleb Sperry, it was an important win that helped the team regain some momentum as it heads into the heart of the nine-game regular season.
"We needed a win after losing two weeks in a row," said Sperry. "It was definitely a confidence-building win. It helps provide the kids with a good outlook while knowing that we can continue to improve. From the first game (a 47-21 loss Aug. 30 to Sandy) through Friday, we've demonstrated incredible growth as a team. That's what this is all about and we will strive to get better every week."
The Eagle trio of junior quarterback Riley Van Hoose (19-32 passing, 287 yards, four TDs), senior receiver Wyatt Webber (nine receptions, 174 yards, four TDs) and senior running back Jeremy Fischer (22 carries, 168 yards rushing, two TDs) helped lead HRV to the victory.
"We're really glad to get the win, but more importantly, it's exciting to see how well we came out and eliminated mistakes that we had the previous week," said Sperry. "We took care of the ball and didn't have any turnovers. We did a lot better job of executing all the way around. We did a better job of protecting the quarterback and we were blocking better for the running backs. It was good seeing how much we improved in one week."
HRV improved significantly in eliminating costly penalty yardage as it had five penalties for 41 yards versus Redmond. The previous week in a 49-33 home loss to Forest Grove Sept. 6, HRV had 16 penalties for 106 yards.
HRV took the lead after a 13-play, 77-yard scoring drive, capped by a Van Hoose 6-yard touchdown pass to Webber. Martin Lanthaler, a senior foreign exchange student from Italy, kicked the point after touchdown for a 7-0 Eagle lead with 4:03 left in the first quarter.
The Eagles extended the margin when Fischer scored on a 5-yard TD run to conclude a 13-play, 88-yard drive and Lanthaler's PAT made it 14-0 midway through the second. HRV maintained a 14-point margin up 21-7 at halftime.
After an Eagle scoring drive made it 28-7 in the third, Redmond (1-2) came back with consecutive scoring possessions, trimming it to 28-19 after three quarters.
The Eagles responded quickly in the fourth by scoring two touchdowns in a span of just 2:17. A four-play, 95-yard drive, highlighted by a 75-yard TD toss from Van Hoose to Webber, followed by Lanthaler's PAT made it 35-19 with 10:56 remaining in the game. The Eagles scored again on another Van Hoose TD throw to Webber and Lanthaler's PAT made it 42-19 with 8:39 left. A Lanthaler 33-yard field goal with 36 seconds left capped the scoring for the final margin.
HRV outgained Redmond in total yardage 546 to 246. The Eagles had a balanced offense with 259 yards rushing and 287 passing yards. Junior receiver Patrick Crompton contributed well to the passing game with five receptions for 69 yards. Van Hoose also displayed his role as a dual threat offensive weapon as he had 14 carries for 66 yards rushing.
The Eagles will try to notch a second win when they host the North Salem Vikings (0-3) Friday in a 7 p.m. nonleague contest at Henderson Community Stadium. The Class 6A Vikings of the Central Valley Conference have been outscored 114-20, including a 48-7 loss to Lakeridge in their last game Sept. 13.
"We're excited about playing at home again and we'll have another tough challenge Friday," said Sperry. "The kids have goals that they've set and they want to maintain the momentum we've gained from winning our first game. They'll continue to work hard in practice and then execute well Friday to help provide us hopefully with a good chance to win."

Tell me about your life story ?
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian
Back in 2200 I fought Zombies using an electrified toothpick and took down the government with my mind. It was pretty cool.
But in all seriousness, do you honestly think people will tell you their life stories just because you asked. You need respect and trust in order to know stories that people hold close. I've only ever gone into detail about my life with my best mate, that's it.
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal!
My life story huh? Alrighty. Here goes....
I was born...on a day. I did...a bunch of things. I created...quite a few things. I learned...a lot.
And that's my life story up to this moment
Living life to the fullest as only I can. Thank you.
Birth, Pre-school, K-12, fell in love with anime, loves anime, goes to college, gets 2 year degree, can't use 2 year degree to get job, goes back to college to get nursing degree.
My new account is HakuokiAoi.
There is no way I could sum up my life story in this tiny little forum..too many characters, too much action, too much drama....been alive for so long....but here's something similar:
I was born on the planet Harkonnen. In my youth I was given to the Bene Gesserit order to be raised and trained to help lead the universe closer to the production of the Kwisatz Haderach, the superbeing. I was married off to Duke Leto Atreides and against the orders wishes, bore him the son that he wanted instead of a daughter. In the battle for universal supremacy my husband was killed by my family, the Harkonnens with the Emperor's blessing, on the planet Arrakis, and my son and I went into hiding. We met up a tribe of people, the Fremen, where I drank the water of life and became a Bene Gesserit Reverened Mother while pregnant with my dead husband's second child, Alia, a girl. She in turn became a fully aware human, and a Reverend Mother as well before birth. I think because of that she is slightly disturbed. My son decided to drink the water of life too, to test his mettle, and survived (all men who tried before had died) becoming the Kwisatz Haderach, defeating the Harkonnens, the Emperor, and the other guilds by leading the Fremen in taking over the spice (melange) trade....brought rain to the desert planet of Arrakis and ruled the universe......
Watching K-dramas instead of sleeping....;D
A long time ago.....
... stuff....
.. then... .
... then there was her...
.. and then....
... gerbils...
.. and...
... to be continued ...
Born in a military family, moved around the world (one being japan), many different schools, meet new ppl, dad blinded in afghan, mom cancer, school, interviews, news, medals, when i got time....ANIME! I love it, gets stuff off my mind..
Let's see here:
K - 7th: Catholic School everything was awesome and made friends who were awesome. Just everything was cool.
8th grade: Found out about these weird TV shows called Anime. Got into the horrible place called "Public School."
9th grade: Saw Egoraptor and Harrypartridge and found out my goal in life "To be an Animator"
10th - 12th: Everything's crap, people fight for no reason, everyone's stupid and full of themselves, and senior year CAN'T GO BY FASTER!! Not to mention all my friends are muscle brains. COME ON SENIOR YEAR HURRY UP AND FINISH!!
I'm tired... oh wait... I'm always tired. Maybe I'm just lazy :(
Rags to riches.
Dreamer to monster.
Blessed to damned.
Winter Is Coming.
I'd rather a pm for my describing.Nothing M rated. Just lots to say.
I was born with nothing and still have nothing, isn't life great?
Actually that's not true, after being born with nothing i've managed to gain more than I ever thought possible. Sometimes life's ok.
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.

Well said I think... most people have been through a lot of shit throughout their life, what matters is that we're still here in spite of that. Spilling your guts right here may be taking things very lightly.
I also only open up to people about my story who I think earned my trust. Only a few people in my life knows about it.
At the age of 18 I was draft to war. 20 I was medal a hero for saving many lives. 2 years later, met the women of my life. A year later got married and had a kid. 4 years later defeated the chaos dragon at the cost of my life. Forever known as a legend. 1900 years later, reborn. BAM here I am. LMFAO a story too good to be true. I'm no hero just a nerd with a retarded imagination lOl
just a whole bunch of awesomeness that you dont deserve to know
Im back. How was studyville you ask? Judging by that question, you should visit.

Wow! On the contrary I was born with convenience and then struggling, struggling with adjusting and accepting, despite all the trials life thought me to fight back and work hard and now I'm gaining it.
You're indeed right sometimes life's ok :P
Because I'm her servant that's why I am reading this.

A cold-blooded serial killer who shot a 10-year-old boy in the head and stabbed his girlfriend 157 times will remain in a Victorian jail for life after a judge rejected his bid for parole.
Paul Steven Haigh, the state's worst serial killer, argued for a minimum term to be set on his sentence of life with no parole for the murders of six people in the 1970s.
The 55-year-old told the Victorian Supreme Court he had been the "victim" of a borderline personality disorder at the time of the killings but had outgrown the condition and was no longer a threat to society.
Justice David Beach refused the application on Thursday.
He said the brutal nature of Haigh's crimes made it inappropriate to fix a non-parole period.
He also considered Haigh's illicit drug use while in prison and his willingness to attribute blame to others, such as his assertion that one of his victims, Sheryle Ann Gardner, was to blame for the murder of her 10-year-old son because she used him as a shield.
"In the end, it is the dreadful nature of his crimes and history that lead me to the conclusion that no minimum term should be set," said Justice Beach.
"Each of the six murders ... was a callous, brutal, disgraceful and entirely unjustified act.
"While the applicant has over time variously attempted to justify or explain the murders he has committed ... nothing could possibly justify or provide any rational explanation for the murder of his fifth victim, an innocent 10-year-old boy.
"I have real doubt as to whether the applicant has truly experienced any real remorse in respect of any of his crimes."
Justice Beach said Haigh was a person who would say and do whatever he thought would suit the course he was pursuing.
Prosecutor Peter Rose SC had told the court Haigh's were among "the worst combination of murders you can get".
He read from a document written by Haigh describing the murder of his girlfriend, 19-year-old Lisa Brearley, who was stabbed 157 times.
"I only intended to do 20 (stab wounds) but I lost count so then started counting out another 20 ... I kept making sure she was dead," Haigh said in the statement.
Haigh showed no emotion as the judgment was handed down.
He has spent more than 30 years in prison for the murders of Ms Brearley, Ms Gardner and her son Danny Mitchell, Tattslotto agency worker Evelyn Adams, pizza shop operator Bruno Cingolani and associate Wayne Keith Smith.
He was also convicted of murdering sex offender Donald George Hatherley, who was found hanged in a jail cell in 1991.

I do like some philosophic things but I see none here at all.
"Oh no! the world will end if Haruhi won't eat ice crem right now! Kyon, go buy her ice cream, NOW!"
How is that scientific and philosophic? Just because we have some random alien, time traveler and god knows who else doesn't make series good either. They actually embrace those kind of scientific things since I didn't see a lamer time traveler till now... The alien is at least smart.
As to why Asakura is better, as I mentioned above she is not two dimensenal as everyone else. She actually has personality and even if she is programed it still looks far more natural than everyone else. She also brings different colour to the series... mostly red... but at least something that spices up that boring atmosphere which was almost the same through thout whole series.
The only episodes that really interested me were on the island. Everything else I could have easily over slept and wouldn't miss a thing.
I really will better watch a show with some spoiled rich brat, at least there is some kind of reason as to why they think they are better than others... they have money and power on their side!
What does Haruhi have? Nothing, she is a normal kid as everyone else who doesn't present anything of what she could be proud of and what would allow her to look down on someone.
To be fair Haruhi deserves a huge spanking, maybe then she finally will gain brains and won't be so annoying.
Maybe, but I still have no wish to bother with it...
It was hard enough to watch Guren Lagan which was so hyped...

translated quote from a russian forum -
"you know, all the while watching haruhi i couldnt shake the desire to bend her over a table and fuck the brains out of that bitch"
while i love haruhi for unexplainable reasons, i find that quote very fitting. not in the sexual context, but rather in the "angry, pissed, annoyed with haruhi" context.
i hate Blue literature. its boring. because its based on classic literature...
i hate some other popular anime, just dont remember right now.

I didn't like The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya either, but that doesn't make it a bad anime. Don't trash the whole series and redicule what poeple like about it just because you didn't like it.
People are allowed to like something that wasn't very well made, or hate something that was perfectly done. Why do people set thier tastes as global standards against which things should be measured.
I watched Haruhi, and I could tell from almost every aspect I'm aware of (directing, art, story, characters, etc.) that it was more than just "well made", and unfortunately it didn't come to my liking. Simply, not my cup of tea, as they say. I admit it's a good anime that I didn't enjoy, in the same way I admit Innitial D was a horrifyingly made anime that I liked so much.

I could dissect the rest of the post, but the point is, it is fine to have an opinion and it is fine for it be carefully thought out or simply an irrational emotional belief. Just don't state it as some kind of "fact" which inherently implies anyone who thinks differently is a fool. You don't like the series, that's fine. You may have some specific aspects of it that didn't appeal to you, that's fine. But don't start pulling smoke out of thin air that can be factually countered. And don't denigrate others to feel more secure in your antipathy towards a series.
Actually, I rather like the quote idiffer found on a russian forum .... it explains the poster's ambivalent feelings toward the series quite graphically without stabbing anyone else.

Why can't I trash something that I completly didn't like? I have same right to it as praising something I liked. Both opinions are equel and if one can be expressed so can be the other. It is called balance.
I wasn't offending those who like it, have I? I didn't say that those who watch Haruhi are fools, though I really don't get why series are so high in popularity when there are much better shows. But then again it can be appliead to Bleach and Naruto too. And thread clearly says that you are allowed to talk here about anime you HATE! And I doubt that a lot of nice words are associated with word hate.
I just stated the obviouse, I see nothing clever and funny about it. It is exactly the same thing as watching story about spoiled rich kid and her/his not existing parents and servants who keep spoiling her/him in order to keep the job.
Here she is spoiled so the world would not end (aka getting fired) and her servants are aliens and all other scientific stuff.
Exactly the same plot only that author had added some scientific words and slight elements in order to cover the obviouse.
Please tell me what is so clever and phsycological about this show that I didn't notice?
Oh wow... we have several realities! How smart! Is that it?
How lame Bleach wouldn't be but I prefer it take about different worlds (human world, SS, HM and Hell world) far more. Or at least it was presented in far better way.
And even if there was said something smart about that topic in series, it must have been explained in such boring way that it completly passed by without me noticing it.
Oh come on...
Spoiler for Possible haruhi spoilers:
If you don't want to disscuss it here you can PM me or just drop this topic all together.

As long as you realize it is your opinion and stop stating your opinion as if it were concrete fact, I'm fine with it. However, you keep crossing that line by asserting things as facts that are pretty clearly opinions.
Opinion: I see nothing clever and funny about it. I have no issue with that statement, its a statement of your feelings toward the series.
Assertion: I do like some philosophic things but I see none here at all. This statement is basically unsupported and can actually be refuted. Since the philosophy and science fiction is what drew many viewers to the show, you're on thin air there.
For example, I could rip your character assessment to shreds ... or I could validate them with more specific reasons and even rip Asakura to shreds as well using the same technique. You've simply selected to simplify some descriptions and expand on others. Each character is a rough sketch in a series with many shorthand directing techniques that let the viewer fill-in-the-blanks to create a whole persona in their minds.

"I do like some philosophic things but I see none here at all." it is my opinion same way as what you put as example above. I said "I" there what means my opinion. I didn't say "Stop lying, there is no scientific and philosophic stuff included".
I really don't mind you trying to show me how those characters are any better than Askaura. Really, you can try me. But I doubt that anything will change, though I do want to know what makes those characters interesting in other eyes since I myself see completly nothing. It is like looking at the wall for me.

Its probably actually easier to tear Asakura down than to discuss the others because:
Spoiler for Haruhi spoiler character descriptions:
Now.... this isn't intended to actually change your opinion... only to show that your characterizations were purposefully incomplete to justify your emotional reactions.
You say you "see no philosophy at all" ... that's not an opinion, that's an observation. It is like saying "I see no grass on this lawn". An observation that can be refuted since the various philosophies, physics, et al have been documented and even listed as such within the series (e.g. when Itsuki explains his faction's philosophy for How The Universe Works ... or when Yuki explains hers.. or when Mikuru explains hers ...). Really, stick to the more defendable aspects.

If I got that quote right... it is implying to make characters OOC? What was the point of creating them at all then? And as far as I know, the moment you make character OOC, everyone are un-happy...
Mikuri - basicly what I said, nothing special just squeling girl. Except her matured side, but everyone changes when matured... big thanks for that!
Itsuki - once again exactly what I said, nothing special. Does nothing except spoiling Haruhi and doing his work. Only that you have put it in smarter words than me.
You haven't mentioned anything that I didn't.
Those few lines about Asakura still were giving more angles to look at her from than those above.
Then those descriptions were done in such poor way that they didn't affect me one bit. That's actually the only fantasy, their words. I can easily read that in encyclopedia, would give the same feeling.
But still thanks for more detailed information, I appricate it

My goal really isn't to change your opinion... but I like it when someone can articulate their opinion and provide a substantive basis for it. It gives them an edge when cussing and discussing in threads.

By the way, this is actually a statement of 100% fact. Even if you later demonstrate to me that kitten was expressing anything but a personal opinion, it will not change the fact of how I felt as I wrote this post

Um, I was just sincerely asking how much you would have liked the series better if she would not have been forgiven.
I basically agree with you. I didn't like that she was forgiven either, for the exact same reasons. I'm just wondering how much you would have liked the show if she hadn't been. I would find it surprising if that was your only reason for disliking the series.

Oh? You weren't going to attack me? What a welcome change for once. Excuse me, it was a force of habit.
I would have preferred anything really -- long as she didn't come out as a karma houdini I'd be fine with it.
Her dying wouldn't have made anything right. The best ending I could think of that was as excessively cruel as her would be.... Her ending up the same place she started at - albeit unable to escape this time with higher technological securing ensuring she'd remain prisoned.
Bah. Sorry the misunderstanding.

I found this article hopefully this topic wont get blocked. I was bored so I found this. I know mostly everybody on here know about his unnatural act but I thought I would show this article to you guys. http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2013/ap ... omedy-gold
The link probably doesn't work or at least it doesn't for me. This what it says
Year: 1991
The set-up: Jim Carrey was only a boy when he got started in the comedy business, doing impressions and physical gags to entertain his constantly ill mother. So good did he become that when he started performing professionally there were almost riots, he says, when he tried to put more of himself into his routine.
And at times you can see it is almost a burden – that talent he has to please a crowd with goofy faces, crazy voices and the impossible movements of his thin, long limbs. In this performance, made three years before his movie breakthrough (and co-produced by one Judd Apatow), there are flickers of reluctance in the gratitude he shows to the adoring crowd. Indeed it's arguable that movies, really, were always where he belonged, because he needs a story to make uncontrived opportunities for his zany skills. "Yeah, I listen to motivational tapes," he says at one stage. "Think I want to get stuck in this dead-end job?" (And as he later revealed, those words weren't empty.)
But what a talent it is. Hard to describe here, although you surely know it well already, he is uniquely brilliant when it comes to making a physical spectacle of such things as Man Struck by Unexpected Orgasm, say, or Man Led Around Bar Literally by His Penis.
Reading this on mobile? Please click here to view
The pose with which he ends the show looks impossible to perform, I would have said, without a dislocated shoulder.
Funny, how? There isn't quite a word for Carrey's style of comedy. Clowning has a tradition, which he does not belong to. Slapstick is about people falling foul of objects, or each other; and he works best alone. What he does is more like animation, or making himself into a cartoon, the way he exaggerates the most distinctive features of a person's mood or character. (Later, he even got the chance to do it literally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttoC1n8z9h4) That fixed grin he wears the rest of the time also plays a part, as does his garish shirt, by making him seem somehow less human, like an emissary from an absurd world.
There is an unfair tendency to consider Carrey a kind of novelty act, yet it is clear that he was also using this performance to express what mattered to him. He grew up poor in Ontario, and had a hard start to life. We also know that this show is "dedicated to the memory of Kathleen Carrey, aka Mommsie", so when he tells us that he spends his time worrying about little things like "What if my parents went to hell?, we know there may be something in it. We might also take him seriously when he calls that orgasm a "mini-vacation from the pain of life".
And he is original. There's the way he has of greeting the crowd like he's been driven half-mad by reciting the same line; there's his habit of dropping the microphone and yelling (before everyone was doing it); there's his encore, which consists of him just striding onstage, angry and bare-chested, to throw his shirt into the crowd. Clearly standup is in the past for Carrey now, and it isn't what he'll be remembered for, but while he was doing it he was among the best around.
Comic cousins: Steve Martin, Lee Evans, Rowan Atkinson, Jerry Lewis, Michael Richards
Steal this: "My mom would drive the Devil crazy if she went to hell. She'd spend eternity going, [sniffs] 'Something's burning.'"

Hi, everybody. I'm interested in hearing what kind of footwear is suggested for heading up the Devil's Slide to Saddle Junction and to the Lookout. I was on this trail a couple of weeks ago. It was icy but not too bad. Turned very slushy by noon and lots of water on the Slide on the way up and down. I felt pretty comfortable with Microspikes, maybe a little bit slippery; I ditched my snowshoes. But more snow has come in since then. I'm staying just one night.
Does anyone know what kind of condition this trail is in? What recommendations for traction: Microspikes? Crampons? Will I need snowshoes beyond Saddle Junction?
Thanks for any help!!

SAPASaposin/surfactant protein-B A-type DOMAIN
|SMART accession number:
|Present as four and three degenerate copies, respectively, in prosaposin and surfactant protein B. Single copies in acid sphingomyelinase, NK-lysin amoebapores and granulysin. Putative phospholipid membrane binding domains.
|Interpro abstract (IPR003119):
Saposins are small lysosomal proteins that serve as activators of various lysosomal lipid-degrading enzymes [(PUBMED:7595087)]. They probably act by isolating the lipid substrate from the membrane surroundings, thus making it more accessible to the soluble degradative enzymes. All mammalian saposins are synthesized as a single precursor molecule (prosaposin) which contains four Saposin-B domains, yielding the active saposins after proteolytic cleavage, and two Saposin-A domains that are removed in the activation reaction. The Saposin-B domains also occur in other proteins, many of them active in the lysis of membranes [(PUBMED:8003971), (PUBMED:8868085)]. The saposin A-type domain may play a role in targeting, as propeptides containing the saposin A-type domain of the C terminus of prosaposin and of the N-terminal part of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B are involved in the transport to the lysosome and to secretory granules (lamellar bodies, which are lysosomal-like organelles), respectively [(PUBMED:8702672)].

While I've been busy running a combine, a Ranch Hand, a round baler and a few tractors the last couple of weeks, Sherill has had other things on her agenda. She's been shooting kids, the elderly, and the infirm on a regular basis.
Okay, okay, the technical description is immunizing them against influenza.
Sherill spends most of her normal workday with kids in a hospital, where she is a nurse. They do a lot of well-baby checks and a ton of childhood immunization work as part of their regular routine, so shots are pretty standard fare. The kids also tend to generate some of the more entertaining parts of the day.
One pair of kids came in with their dad to get their checkups and shots one day. The big sister was about five or six years old. Her little sister was three. The older one got to go first, but she was hesitant. Moments before it was needle time, she told her dad, "I'm still kind of nervous about this."
"Well," Dad said, "what do you suppose you should do?"
Without hesitation, she proclaimed, "I think I'd better pray!" With that, she bowed her head for a few moments and then went ahead with the shot.
Then it was the three-year-old's turn. As the needle was presented, she turned to her father and said, "I think I'd better pray, too."
I'm sure it wasn't about stalling or buying time at all. Not that kids come up with excuses on short notice or anything.
Then there was the five-year-old who had come in for his pre-kindergarten checkup earlier this year. He was not looking forward to the required vaccinations. As Sherill got the needle out to give him his first shot, he looked at the needle, turned to his mother, and looking like he was ready to pack up and leave, said, "You know, Mom, I think I can probably wait to start kindergarten until next year."
Nice try. He got jabbed anyway before negotiations proceeded any further.
For those tykes who maintain some semblance of control during the process, rewards are bestowed. A popular item to hand out to wounded warriors is stickers. You'd think they were candy or cash by the reaction they generate. In my day, I would not have folded so easily.
One youngster was sort of a mini-professor. I believe he was about four years old and very bookish. He got his shots and then got his stickers handed over to him. On his way out, he informed Sherill, "Your sticker selection was wonderful (long pause) . . . but your shots SUCK!"
Duly noted. Thank you, Professor Subtle.
The clinic has a special flu shot program where people can visit during the day and receive their flu shots at their leisure. Nurses sign up for the various shifts and report to the area of the clinic where the vaccine is administered. There are some younger adults and other health-compromised folks in the mix, but for most of the flu shot clinic, the pool of candidates tends to run heavy toward the other end of the age spectrum — the elderly.
A guy in his late 90s came in with either his granddaughter or great-granddaughter as his chaperone. He had a realistic attitude about the whole thing. "At my age, a lot of stuff can take me out, but it's not gonna be the flu this year!"
Then there was the patient from the Midwest who stopped by for his flu shot while he was at the clinic for a variety of other visits. He mentioned that he was a farmer, and Sherill quizzed him on what he raised once she explained her connection to farming. The guy had the bases pretty well covered. He had corn, soybeans, hay and cattle. That caused Sherill to ask if he'd ever heard of a little publication called Farm Industry News.
"I sure have!" he exclaimed. "I read the whole thing every month, cover to cover, as soon as it arrives. Been reading it for years."
That's when Sherill informed him, "My husband writes a humor column for the magazine's website."
The guy's response was immediate. "You're married to Guy Number Two?! Oh, man, I love that column! I've been reading it for five or six years now, ever since it started."
Huh. He's the one. Whatdyaknow.
Without seeing his medical records, I think we can probably assume that the word "astute" makes several appearances in his paperwork.
Guy No. 2

If the United States doesn't significantly cut back its domestic farm support, one group that could cry foul is U.S. pharmaceutical companies. Strange as that may sound, it's just one of several factors working against U.S. farm support programs, noted Kenneth Roberts, associate administrator for the Foreign Agricultural Service, Washington, D.C., and a U.S. trade negotiator.
"We're on the defensive with our domestic support," Roberts told attendees of the National Conservation Systems Cotton and Rice Conference, in Tunica. "The 1996 farm bill was a market-oriented approach that was clear under WTO rules. But the 2002 farm bill made permanent some of the safety nets we had earlier. That has made it difficult for us."
Roberts said WTO negotiators are dividing domestic support into three bands. "The top band will include the European Union, which has the greatest amount of support. The middle band will include Japan and the United States, and the bottom band would include everybody else."
Roberts said a coefficient will be applied to the amount of support in each band. "For example, in the top band, we might see a total reduction of 75 percent to 83 percent and 40 percent to 60 percent in the middle band."
Roberts said U.S. agriculture could have a tougher time making changes than Europe or Japan. "During the time we've been increasing our domestic spending on agriculture, Japan has been changing the way they do theirs. They find themselves in a more comfortable position of being able to take the cuts. The European Union system is increasingly going to green support because there is a lot of pressure to discontinue spending in the amber box, the most trade-distorting form of payment."
As to the United States, "We'll do everything we can to negotiate keeping as much of what we have in place as we can," Roberts said. "But to get this deal, there is going to be tremendous pressure on us to agree to something less than what's there, less trade-distorting subsidy."
Roberts says to offset reduced payments, U.S. trade negotiators are "trying to open as many markets as we can. So if we have to make these reductions in farm payment support, we have some other way of generating income."
Essentially this means finding a home for U.S. production surpluses, Roberts says. "The United States is proposing that all export subsidies be eliminated by 2010. We still have some unfinished business with state trading enterprises, where countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada have a special privilege to be the only supplier of that product. We want to break that link so that others can go into those markets, source material and create some competition."
U.S. food aid programs are also being scrutinized, according to Roberts. "The Europeans would like to see us not give food aid, but provide cash instead. But we would rather not be forced to give all our food aid in dollars. There are a lot of instances where that only goes into corrupt hands.
"The Europeans are on the losing side of that argument. On the public relations side, if we illustrate to the world that when we go from giving a commodity to giving cash, donations drop by about 50 percent. There would be even more people starving to death."
Roberts hopes that the United States can open additional export markets through CAFTA. "It's a very important trade agreement. When you lower tariff protection, it benefits U.S. producers. We have an efficient infrastructure here. We have to have confidence that we can be competitive in this market."
Brazil's successful challenge of U.S. domestic and export subsidies is another driving force for change, noted Roberts. "It is a very significant ruling, and even though Brazil won, they've been remarkably restrained. They could be retaliating against U.S. agriculture, through the WTO, for a sum in excess of $2 billion.
Because there isn't enough U.S. agricultural trade to Brazil to retaliate against or to raise tariffs, the issue "will spill over into other areas, such as pharmaceuticals, where we have a lot of intellectual property rights protections," Roberts said. "That could cause a hail storm, because we've been working very hard to get them to recognize this type of protection."
If the United States does not comply with the WTO panel report, "the next step is for Brazil to come down on us. They will do it in as painful a way as possible. As soon as there is a sense that the next Doha negotiation is collapsing, I expect they will go to the recourse that they have at their disposal. It would not be a good thing for cotton and a lot of other commodities."
Roberts says the United States must show Brazil "that we have taken the results of the panel and actually changed something. This could include the repeal of Step 2 "and the lifting of the premium cap on our export credit program. The 1 percent fee isn't always enough to reflect the degree of risk in some markets.
"We're also trying to repeal the longer-term GSM-103 credit program. Those are the three elements we're trying to implement to show a good faith to Brazilians that we take this seriously, without doing harm to our own farmers' interests in the near term."
At the same time, the United States is also attempting to show that the Export Credit Guarantee Program-GSM-102 managed by FAS "is not a subsidy, although the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development determined that it was."
GSM-102 and GSM-103 programs underwrite credit extended by the private banking sector in the United States to approved foreign banks, allowing the U.S. banks to offer competitive credit terms. The GSM-102 Export Credit Guarantee Program provides coverage for credit periods not to exceed three years. Sales under these programs are commercially financed; they are not food aid or subsidy programs. The GSM-103 Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee Program covers periods of more than three years, but not more than 10 years.
If the timeline to complete negotiations aren't met by the end of April, "we could be pushed to the end of July, which isn't a very good outcome."
Rice producer L.G. Raun, who is chairman of the Texas Legislative Group, asked Roberts if negotiators "are looking at making any cuts commensurate with what they anticipate will be any price increase and market access gains for each commodity."
"We are looking at that," Roberts said. "We don't want to be too specific because it gives away our negotiating position. But we have to know the relationship between the drop in revenue from support versus what we're gaining on the export side. There's a margin there, but it's not one for one. When you get money from the government, it's a dollar for a dollar. When you're exporting a product, there may be a profit margin of 30 percent. You have to make that up.
"We can't bring this deal back and say we didn't do well on the market access side, but we're going to have to do these 60 percent to 70 percent cuts in subsidies. That's what makes this a tough test."

text: Delayed 2012 Drought-loss Aid on the Way April 4, 2014 03:19 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By: Duane Dailey, University of Missouri Farmers who lost forages or livestock in the drought of 2012 should prepare to document those losses. The 2014 farm bill includes livestock disaster aid going back to 2011. Nearly $1 billion in disaster aid will be spent, the Congressional Budget Office estimates, says Scott Brown, University of Missouri agricultural economist. "Many Missouri livestock producers will be eligible for payments. Some payouts may be big," Brown says. "Regulations have not been released. While USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) prepares rules, farmers can prepare to make their cases. "There are few details in the disaster section of the farm bill. Those details must be spelled out before farmers can file claims at their FSA office." University of Missouri Extension plans educational support to producers. "Livestock disaster aid is our first priority," says Dave Baker, assistant dean for extension, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. MU Extension specialists will assist FSA staff in their educational efforts over the next year. USDA says livestock farmers can sign a local list at FSA offices to schedule enrollment. In many cases, farmers who have not received federal crop assistance may not be on local office rolls. "We're trying to reach producers not normally involved in government programs," says Brent Carpenter, MU Extension agricultural business specialist, Sedalia. "They may not be familiar with their local USDA office." Signing the list and giving contacts, including email, will speed the process. FSA will start sign-ups April 15. "Being prepared will speed the process," Brown says. Those first in line are not likely to deplete available funds, Brown says. "From reading the farm bill, it appears there is no cap on funding." Farmers need not rush to their FSA offices to sign up for 2014 crop programs. "I don't expect to see FSA rules on those until late fall," Brown says. After disaster aid, the next priority will be a new dairy margin protection program. For the interim, Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) was extended by Congress. Long-delayed passage of a farm bill in Congress delayed rule-making. When the previous farm bill expired in 2011, disaster aid was lost. The new law makes disaster help retroactive. "There are many stories, and rumors, out there," Brown says. "But we can't give real help until USDA has the detailed regulations." A team of state and regional MU Extension specialists will study the farm bill and rules to translate legal wording into farmer-friendly terms. Back to news

text: Cattle Nutrition: Get Cows in Condition Before Calving and During Lactation February 8, 2011 08:22 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Drovers Editors Email The best way to ensure a successful breeding season is to design a late-gestational nutrition program for cows and heifers. Getting heifers and cows ready for calving and subsequent breeding seasons is not about weight, but rather body condition score (BCS). First, it is essential to manage cows and heifers as independent groups. That does not mean you have to keep two completely separate groups of cattle, but rather that you evaluate each group separately, target different body condition scores and provide different levels of nutrition depending on gain needs. During late gestation, in order to maintain BCS, a mature cow requires at least 8% protein in the total diet. A heifer entering her first calving season needs 10% protein. If an animal needs to pick up condition, the requirements increase by 0.5% to 1%. Payment in pounds per calf. Research from the University of Nebraska indicates nutritional management during the last 100 days of gestation can have significant effects on the fetus. Increasing a cow's total daily crude protein intake from 7% to 8% increased calf weaning weight by 10 lb., which translates into $12 to $15 per calf in today's market. Protein nutrition is integral to colostrum quality in cows. As a result, 10% fewer bull calves born to protein-supplemented cows became sick after birth. Steer calves from protein-supplemented cows netted an additional $30 at slaughter. Heifer calves born to protein-supplemented cows had a 13% greater pregnancy rate than heifers born to nonsupplemented cows. It is clear that protein nutrition during late gestation is important to fetal development as well as to the cow's rebreeding potential. After calving, during lactation prior to breeding, protein needs vary according to milking ability and weather. Generally, cows require 9% to 9.5% crude protein and first-calf heifers require 11% crude protein to maintain a BCS of 5 or greater. While genetics play a significant role, target a BCS of 5.5 for mature cows and 6 for first-calf heifers to help ensure they are in adequate condition for the next breeding season. In order to maintain a 365-day calving interval, cows and heifers should be at a BCS of at least 5. Cows calving at a BCS of 5 to 6 will resume cycling 55 days post-calving. However, cows with a BCS of 4 or less will require as many as 80 days to resume cycling. In the calendar year, with a 280- to 285-day gestational period, there are 80 to 85 days remaining for a cow to resume cycling and rebreed. Choose carefully. The biggest challenge—and opportunity —of feeding cows is the variety of forage sources and choosing the correct one at the lowest cost. Low-cost forage sources such as cornstalks, bean stubble and low-quality hay are all adequate sources of nutrients, with some supplementation. Alfalfa hay or corn silage, while excellent feedstuffs, are not essential for cows to produce a calf. Supplemental sources, such as corn gluten feed, distillers' grains or wheat midds, provide economical flexibility in designing cow diets. Corn, however, is not an adequate cow supplement as it provides only 8% crude protein. The most beneficial strategy is to supplement fiber-based diets with fiber-based energy and protein sources, such as corn gluten feed, distillers' grains and wheat midds. Back to news

Many veterans continue to suffer from PTSD needlessly. Some veterans have looked for relief in the past, but have not found the help they needed; others continue to try to simply "Live with it." Help is available at your nearest VA facility. If you've participated in PTSD programs in the past without success, consider trying it again. Some things have changed at the VA. New and better evidence based therapies (EBT) which go beyond the "Coping skills" of a few years back have been developed. There are new medications that can help relieve many of the symptoms of PTSD. You, your family, and your friends need not suffer from the affects of PTSD; life can get better.
So how does one get involved in treatment? Several options are available depending on the veteran's location. Services are available throughout Salt Lake "Catchment area" in addition to the Salt Lake VA Medical Center. Services are also available at Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) located in Pocatello, Idaho; Elko, Nev.; Ogden, Vernal, Price, Orem, and St. George, Utah. There are also stationary and mobile Vet Centers that provide counseling services. The VA's Tele-Health system reaches deep into our rural areas providing specialized one-on-one services where it is needed.
Our recommendation for those who can get to the VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Salt Lake City, is to attend a PTSD intake/assessment session. An open intake is held every Tuesday at 11:00 AM in Building #16 (the new Outpatient Mental Health facility). Ask a clerk for directions as you enter the building. The intake activity is held in the Deer Creek classroom on the main floor.
At the PTSD intake, you will complete several questionnaires and then be individually interviewed by a PTSD clinician. The clinician will provide treatment recommendations at the conclusion of the interview. Please allow 2-3 hours for the intake clinic, depending on the number of veterans attending. Please bring a copy of your DD214, if it is available.
Veterans experiencing any type of mental health crisis can receive help at the building #16 Outpatient Mental Health location during regular business hours. Just walk-in and ask for help, or go to the VA Emergency Department in Building #1 anytime.
Peer Counselors are located in an office near the clerk's desk in Building #16. Peer Counselors (veterans who have experienced their own recovery) are available to discuss various paths to recovery and provide resources often needed by veterans experiencing mental health issues. Feel free to give them a visit, or they can be contacted by calling 801-582-1565 ext. 2784.
Who are we? The Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) is a freestanding, all volunteer organization. VA Central Office encourages each VA medical center- mental health department, to promote the development of a consumer council such as our VAC. The VAC is invited to participate in the Mental Health Executive Council and present information or ask questions on behalf of veterans.
Walt Moore is the chairman of the VAC Council; he can be reached at the Mental Health Peer Support office in Building #16 801-582-1565 ext 2784.
Bob Banz, Ed.D is the staff liaison to the Veteran Advisory Council on Mental Health. He can be reached at 801-582-1565 ext 2729.

How To Make Postcards From Vintage Book Covers
This idea for repurposing the covers of vintage pulp novels (or any beautiful paperback book covers) comes from Jason Thompson of Rag & Bone Bindery. He kindly shared the project, which can be found in his new book, Playing With Books: The Art of Upcycling, Deconstructing, and Reimagining the Book, coming this spring and sure to provide tons of inspiration for using the pages you have left over after making your postcards.
Jason says: The idea for this project comes from a set of postcards I sent to a Swedish friend more than a decade ago. I mailed him a handmade postcard made from the paperback cover torn from a copy of Ian Fleming's Moonraker. He mailed back a postcard right away written on the back of Ian Fleming's Thunderball, and a tradition was created.
What You Need
Paperback book covers
Utility blade (optional)
Corner cutter (optional)
1. Most paperback covers will tear away easily from the book pages. Covers that are old or firmly adhered might require the use of a craft or utility knife.
2. Once the cover is removed, clean away any glue residue.
3. Use a corner cutter to create clean, rounded corners.
4. The printed side of these science fiction postcards was designed on a computer and printed using a desktop printer.
Additional Notes: Follow postal regulations when mailing paperback postcards — they might require additional postage or hand stamping by a postal worker to enter the postal system. Be clever and choose a paperback title appropriate to the location and circumstances from where and when it will be sent.
This project was excerpted with permission from Playing With Books: The Art of Upcycling, Deconstructing, and Reimagining the Book by Jason Thompson. It will be published in the spring, but is available for pre-order on Amazon now. Visit the Rag & Bone website and blog for more information and updates.

Two people out for a night ride on a jet ski had to be rescued on Thursday, according to the Hastings Police Department.
The rescue began when the police department received a call from the U.S. Coast Guard around 10:17 p.m. reported they had received a report of an overturned vessel in the Hudson River near the Pioneer Boat Club, said Lt David Dosin
The department's marine unit was activated and Sgt. Anthony Gentile and Officer Justin Bottiglieri responded to the area to search for the vessel, he said.
The Yonkers Police Emergency Service Unit, Westchester County Police Aviation Unit, and the Coast Guard responded as well.
The Hastings officers found two people wearing life jackets floating in the completely dark river with cold temperatures, he added.
Gentile and Bottiglieri brought the two back to shore at the JFK Marina in Yonkers. Officers from the Yonkers Police Emergency Unit assisted with medical aid.
After an investigation, it was determined that the two were riding a jet ski at night in the Hudson River when an accident occurred. The heavily damaged jet ski was towed to the Tower Ridge Yacht Club by Yonkers Marine Service. It was also determined the victims were floating in the Hudson River for an extended period, possibly for more than two hours, said Dosin.
Dosin said that communication on the river was not great and that Desk Sgt. John Deblasio along with Officers Mike Gregorio and Sam Brecker did an exceptional job by relaying key information to the Marine Unit while the search was being conducted.

Acne Studios is a Stockholm based fashion house, founded in 1996 by Creative Director Jonny Johansson with an 'Ambition to Create Novel Expressions'. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to fashion, the lifestyle brand finds inspiration in photography, art, architecture and contemporary culture – creating subtle and luxurious ready-to-wear pieces with an Acne emphasis on tailoring and an eclectic use of custom developed materials.
A fan of Californian punk group The Cramps, Johansson celebrates the cult band with his provocative and rebellious gender-fluid AW16 collection. Subverting conventional underwear-outerwear codes, the collection layers PVC leotards, leopard print tights and striped lame bodysuits over pants and long sleeved tops whilst classic proportions are also negated with vinyl balloon pants, quilted off-the-shoulder puffa jackets and oversized wool jumpsuits. Traditional is too expected for Johansson; instead he radicalises through exaggerated shapes, unique cuts and audacious prints on unexpected mohairs to elevate mannish coats and pants. The Cramp's inherent expressive style and sense of bravado is evident in the collection's holographic sleeveless dresses, latex long sleeves and studded creased leathers whilst unique cuts, wire caged detailing and woollen sock footwear maintain the brand's signature contemporary look.

Hands-on time with LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy only confirms what you already knew: If this adorable game does not make you smile, you have no soul. Of course, cute ain't everything, and that's the real reason why our time traipsing through Episodes IV (A New Hope) and V (The Empire Strikes Back ) in a preview version of this Xbox 360 action/adventure was so satisfying. Not only is the game almost huggable (all these warm-fuzzy screens are taken from the Xbox 360 version), it's a simple pleasure to play, too.
A mix of the plotlines of all three "classic trilogy" sci-fi flicks and the brick-building Danish toys, LEGO Star Wars II gives you the chance to blast through the high points of ANH, ESB, and Return of the Jedi (the latter segment wasn't playable at press time), switching between little Lego versions of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and even your own demented mix-and-match created character at will. Each character has their own restrictions - for instance, humans can quickly assemble small vehicles or gun turrets from piles of loose bricks they find in the environment. Heroes like Luke and Leia can also use grappling hooks to reach distant platforms, while Jedi can move objects and enemies around using the Force. Droids can't do any of that stuff, but they can go places that would prove deadly to Organa-based life forms. If Luke can't cross the mucky swamps on Dagobah, for instance, it just takes some poking around as R2-D2 to realize that he can travel underwater, activate a switch on another island and raise a bridge to let the whiny brat pass.

Federal Inmate Charged With Possessing Weapon
ERIE, Pa. - An inmate at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Bradford, Pennsylvania, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Erie on a charge of possession of contraband in prison, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
The one-count indictment named Oscar Acosta-Levario, 32, as the sole defendant.
According to the indictment presented to the court, on or about June 10, 2014, Acosta-Levario was in possession of contraband, namely a weapon.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
Officers of the McKean Federal Correctional Institution conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Does anyone write stories?
As the title says does anyone write stories for the sheer joy of it outside of any sort of school assignment? If you do what sort of things do you like to write about? I know there's a thread about drawing but I don't think there's one for writing. Anyway,
I generally tend to write about military units in the future, such as space infantry groups or regular ground soldiers. I also have stories all across the board involving werewolves and the like based off of Larry Correia's Monster Hunter universe as well as other fanfic type stuff for other things that have already been created but I feel that I need to add to.
Liar by nature
I write short-ish stories now and then, but not really seriously. They tend to be pretty silly as well, but eh.
I generally write about third-person zombie epidemics, or anything to do with medieval fantasy. I'm a boring person :P.
Insert Witty Bullshit Here
I do but never finish it. hehehe~ XD
Good Ideas but I'm mediocre and CRAZYYYYYY!
Life is full of shit but it's the delicious part that makes it worth it.
I do. Poems too sometimes.
The inevitable tug of heartstrings. The dancing ballerina pen.
"I write only because
There is a voice within me
That will not be still"
- Sylvia Plath.
I get started . . . but I never quite finish . . .
. . . they say that happens when you get older though...
Neko-ken master.... filled with dredd
I used to. I have a 50,000-word story that I started a couple of summers ago and then just stopped. I don't see the appeal in creative writing anymore. Oddly enough, I much rather enjoy the analytical essays I'm required to do in school.
eat my dirt (:
I write Fantasy stories one I have finished and short stories. I love writing and want to publish my stuff one day!
If poetry counts, yeah. I've always wanted to write a story that will make people want to reread it over and over, but I get writer's block a lot and sometimes forget an awesome idea I thought a minute ago. >:(
I love to write~ although, i don't think very much of my work~ it's mostly nonsense ^^
Is currently dealing with the death of his account.
If roleplaying counts then yes I have ^.^
[HIATUS] oops.
I love writing. It's like my getaway from the grind of everyday life. If I feel stressed, I'll either sit down and write, or I'll get lost in space thinking about their setting and background... stuff like that. It's like my very own mini-vacation.
I enjoy writing fanfiction (and I also consider Role-Playing a form of fanfiction, even if the setting is the only thing I've borrowed for the RP), poetry, and sometimes original short stories. Usually my work consists of some bittersweet elements, plot twists, fantasy, and usually some amount of sci-fi (or other technological element), but I have been known to break my own rules. One of my favorite short stories (when I say favorite, I mean the one I'm most proud of) was a happy-ending, sweet story with fantastical elements. It had only positive emotions, and that was a first.
Usually when I write, it's less me dictating what should happen, and more -having created the characters down to the tiniest detail- watching their story unfold when I put them in a certain plot situation, and taking note of what happens.
Because of this, I don't think I could ever force myself into it as anything more than a hobby - nothing would flow, and nothing would be any good.
I'm just here for the anime, really
I, in all honest truth, have really mixed feelings about writing.
The process of putting words to a page is really frustrating. Not to mention, the feeling of doubt over whenever I'm looking over a sentence and see some kind of grammar error or, perhaps, a lengthy purple prose that otherwise interrupt the flow of the words -- those kinds of things really depresses me and makes me want to give up being a writer altogether.
But then, there are times that makes writing all worth it. Watching the process as a character become a real person is an experience -- I think it can be explained as something akin to being a parent and suddenly seeing your children in a new light that you didn't quite expected them to turn out. It's unexpected, but you feel a sweltering pride for them at the same time. When things like that happen, I don't mind pushing through days of writer's block at a time in order to record what happens to the characters next.
I don't really have a preference for settings, really. (Maybe because I'm really just a indecisive person by nature.) Though, I think any setting can be awesome if you supply it with the right characters and how they react to the settings.

Sanfilippo syndrome is metabolism disorder passed down through families. It makes the body unable to properly break down long chains of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (formerly called mucopolysaccharides).
The syndrome belongs to a group of diseases called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Specifically, it is known as MPS III.
See also:
MPS I H (Hurler syndrome) MPS II, Hunter syndrome MPS IV (Morquio syndrome) MPS I S (Scheie syndrome)
Alternative Names
Sanfilippo syndrome occurs when the substances (enzymes) needed to break down the heparan sulfate sugar chain are missing or are defective.
There are four main types of Sanfilippo syndrome, also called MPS III. Which type a person has depends on which enzyme is affected.
- Sanfilippo type A is the most severe form. Persons with this type are missing or have an altered form of an enzyme called heparan N-sulfatase.
- Sanfilippo type B occurs when a person is missing or doesnt not produce enough alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase.
- Sanfilippo C occurs when a person is missing or doesnt not produce enough acetyl-CoAlpha-glucosaminide acetyltransferase.
- Sanfilippo D occurs when a person is missing or doesnt not produce enough N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase.
The syndrome is inherited as an
Sanfilippo syndrome is possibly the most common forms of MPS. It is seen in about 1 in 70,000 births. A family history of Sanfilippo syndrome increasesthe risk for this condition.
Unlike many other forms of MPS, symptoms often appear after the first year of life. A decline in learning ability typically occurs between ages 2 and 6. The child may have normal growth during the first few years, but final height is below average. Delayed development is followed by deteriorating mental status.
Other symptoms include:
- Behavioral problems
- Coarse facial features
- Diarrhea
- Full lips
- Heavy eyebrows that meet in the middle of the face above the nose
- Sleep difficulties
- Stiff joints that may not extend fully
- Walking problems
Exams and Tests
A physical exam may show signs of liver and spleen swelling. An eye exam will show clear corneas, unlike the cloudy corneas seen in persons with Hurler syndrome (MPS I H). Neurological testing will reveal signs of seizures and intellectual disability.
Urine tests will be done. Persons with Sanfilippo syndrome have large amounts of a mucopolysaccharide called heparan sulfate in the urine.
Other tests may include:
- Blood culture
- Echocardiogram
Slit lamp eye exam
- Skin fibroblast culture
- X-rays of the bones
There is no specific treatment available for Sanfilippo syndrome.
Support Groups
Additional information and resources are available from the
Outlook (Prognosis)
The syndrome causes significant neurological symptoms, including severe intellectual disability. IQs may be below 50. Most persons with Sanfilippo syndrome live into their teenage years. Some patients live longer, while others with severe forms die at an earlier age. Symptoms appear most severe in persons with type A Sanfilippo syndrome.
Possible Complications
- Blindness
- Inability to care for self
- Intellectual disability
- Nerve damage that slowly gets worse and eventually requires wheelchair use
- Seizures
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child does not seem to be growing or developing normally.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you plan to have children and you have a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Sanfilippo syndrome. Counseling is also recommended for families who have a child with Sanfilippo syndrome, to help them understand the condition and possible treatments. Prenatal testing is available.
