Scott: In the third row back, it looks like President Obama was enjoying a retro 3D movie experience. Is this a subliminal product endorsement within specific political demographics?
Welcome to Ultimate 3D
The hype about 3D these days is overwhelming, with manufacturers and studios hailing it as The Next Big Thing. And the technology has come a long way from the red-and-cyan anaglyph glasses of the 1950s. But it still has a few drawbacks, leading some to predict it will be The Next Big Flop. Remember quadraphonic sound?
Whatever its fate, consumers are fascinated by 3D, which is where UAV comes in. Our new Ultimate 3D blog will cover various aspects of this technology and even its physiology, uncovering the truth in a shifting landscape.
As with all our blogs, I encourage you to post comments with your thoughts and experiences. Also, I invite you to send me suggestions for topics to coverthere's no shortage of 3D topics, but I promise to prioritize reader requests whenever possible. Thanks in advance for your participation!
The original picture, which has been widely reprinted, has been put thru photoshop, and the original woman sitting there has been replaced by Obama! One reference for the original picture is the book Amazing 3-D by Morgan and Symmes, page 55. The picture was taken in 1952 at a screening of Bwana Devil.
Thanks for starting this new blog. I look forward to reading more in the future. One thing though I need to comment on. Most of the 1950's 3D movies were originally shown polarized, not anylglyph. This is a popular misconception that is constanly being propigated in the media. Comic books and such were anaglyph then, but not the movies. There were some that were converted to anaglyph in the 70's and 80's to be easily shown in theaters, such as Creature From the Black Lagoon, but they were originally shown polarized. This is where I think the misconception started. One of the big problems at that time was keeping the film sychronized between the two projectors. Digital projection has been the biggest help in that area. I am looking forward to seeing the new home variations of this to come. Please keep us updated as you have started to do now.
I saw KISS ME KATE, with Howard Keel, and Kathryn Grayson in theater when it came out (more years ago than I care to think about) it was amazing filmed and screened in 3D, the projectors lost sync for a couple of seconds, but I think it would be films like this that would ultimately sell 3D, not the hoarer stuff, Avatar aside (although it will help the inital sales)
Recently, I saw a Samsung 3D demo and I was unimpressed. I wear eye glasses and so I had to put the 3D glasses over mine. Light was coming from the top of the glasses which hindered the 3D effect, but when I put my hand over the top of my eye glasses and eliminated the ambient light, I could see the 3D effect clearly. But, I quickly tired of the novelty and it started looking unnatural and gimmicky. This is a technology that I could easily live without. It just lets me know that televison has reached the state of the art with these new LED/LCD televisions, and 3D is just a gimmick to improve sales. No new improvements in the plasma or LCD technologies exits. In fact the best televisions are the defunct Kuro from Pioneer, and the xbr8 from Sony. They could not improve television technology over these two models so they give us 3D. But, not for me.
I agree i was not impressed with demos from panasonic and samsung. over the past few years electronics makers forced flat pannel/hd tvs into out homes.. and we liked it. we saved space, put it up on the wall and enjoyed hd programing. that was was great for consumers and tv makers. .but now comes a time where they want to force us to buy expensive glasses and re-buy our movie collection from 2d to 3d. well here i stand and say NO!. first i'm happy with my current blu ray movie collection, my denon avr-5308 receiver, epson 8500ub projector, ps3 and denon 4010 bluray player. not upgrading to hdmi 1.4. second i already have glasses i have to put on my face every day, so second pair on top is just not going to happen. ..third no content and i'm not replacing my bluray collection like i did with dvds again. but bottom line is that the biggest problem with 3d is GLASSES and until those are eliminated 3d will never take of like "they" think it will. by the way word on the street is that ps3 slim is
hello scott, i do enjoy your podcast and you as a guest on leos show. i'm happy you finally have your own much needed podcast. if i may make a sugestion with your hometheater podcast...you have very smart and interesting people on th show but in my humble opinion you spend way too much time on said person(s) life history. its in some cases 50% of the time on the podcast. i would like to hear more about todays technology and where its heading, your guests opinions and reviews of a/v components and setup edvice. also i know you're an "audio guy" but its been a lot tv/video reviews but no audio stuff, in fact i think your last receiver review was about a year ago. what i do like is how you explain how technology works in simple terms. this is just my 2 cents. maybe you can do one podcast where you explain watts vs. ohms, speaker sensitivity, audio formats, wires/guages, binding posts, dac 32bit vs. 24 bit, bit rates, high res audio bluray 192 and 96 khz which discs have it, power line condition
Rudy, thanks for the kind words! I disagree that I spend that much time on each guest's history; I haven't timed it, but I would be shocked if I have spent anywhere near 50% of the time on any guest's history, and sometimes I don't ask about it at all. Also, I consider myself equally an audio and video guy, and I try to balance the guests between audio and video as much as possible. As for reviews on UAV, I don't do many these days due to severely limited resources, but I still do them whenever possible, and I will keep your request for more audio reviews in mind. I'll also consider your request for a podcast that covers some of the basics you mention. If not on a podcast, I'll certainly write explanations on HomeTheaterMag.com.
Unimpressed: I completly agree with your lack of desire to purchase a 3D TV. Unfortunately the TV guys decided to make 3D the next big thing rather than advance OLED, which is a true leap in video quality. Try to see an OLED display - I bet you will be very impressed. I know that I am going to want one to replace my 60" Kuro FD when they become available.

The first multicenter study of hybrid revascularization shows that the emerging procedure for treating coronary artery disease has a similar rate of major adverse events in the first year, compared with percutaneous intervention (stenting).
Hybrid revascularization is a minimally invasive blend of coronary bypass surgery and stenting. It has been described as a "best of both worlds" strategy for treating multi-vessel coronary artery disease. Surgeons avoid opening the patient's sternum, which facilitates recovery, while keeping the durability of bypass surgery for the most important of the blocked coronary arteries.
John Puskas, MD, professor of surgery and associate chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Emory University School of Medicine, was national principal investigator for the study and is scheduled to present the results at the American College of Cardiology meeting in San Francisco.
Participating institutions included: Brigham and Women's, Columbia, Duke, Emory, Lankenau Hospital (Pennsylvania), Montefiore-Einstein Heart Center, Ohio State, University of Maryland, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia and Vanderbilt. The data coordinating center was housed in the Department of Health Evidence & Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The study was funded by a Challenge grant part of the 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and was conducted in association with the NHLBI Cardiothoracic Surgery Trials Network.
The study was a prospective cohort study that enrolled 200 hybrid patients and 98 patients who would have been eligible for a hybrid procedure, but had multi-vessel percutaneous intervention (PCI) instead.
"We started by taking a snapshot of each participating center's catheterization lab over three months," Puskas says. "That was over 6,500 patients, but only a fraction were eligible. They had to have a pattern of coronary artery disease that could be reasonably treated with either hybrid techniques or multivessel percutaneous intervention: both an LAD (left anterior descending) lesion and a significant stenosis in at least one other non-LAD coronary artery. This was a group of patients with low to medium complexity coronary artery disease."
The primary measure of safety was the rate of major adverse coronary and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: includes death, heart attack, stroke or repeat revascularization procedure). Over the first year, hybrid patients had a MACCE rate of 11 percent (0.143 events per patient-year) while PCI patients had a rate of 10 percent (0.119 events per patient year), with hybrid revascularization displaying a trend toward a MACCE rate lower than PCI after the first year. Patients were followed for up to an average of 17.5 months and over that time, the MACCE rate for hybrid revascularization patients was 0.868 times that for PCI patients, adjusted for baseline risk.
"A question this study starts to address is, whether short-term outcomes and complications over the first year are comparable between these two alternative therapies," Puskas says. "These results suggest that hybrid revascularization is as safe in the first year, with a trend to benefit over the longer term. It would be a challenge to markedly out-perform PCI over the first year we expect that if hybrid revascularization has an advantage, it will come out over the next few years."
He explains that multivessel coronary bypass surgery usually includes a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft for the blockage in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), along with veins from the legs for the other blocked vessel(s). The LIMA graft has several advantages: most importantly, the LIMA graft stays open longer than vein grafts, because the LIMA is conditioned to higher blood pressures.
"We know the left internal mammary artery graft is the most durable treatment for that [LAD] blockage, so we expect there will be fewer repeat revascularizations in the hybrid group of patients," he says.
Hybrid revascularization keeps the LIMA graft for the LAD while using coronary stents for other non-LAD blockages, allowing a minimally invasive approach and avoiding use of the heart-lung machine.
"In light of the growing adoption of this treatment paradigm, a randomized trial of hybrid revascularization is now needed to rigorously evaluate its safety and efficacy relative to PCI," says Deborah D. Ascheim, MD, associate professor of health evidence & policy and cardiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and principal investigator of the study's data coordinating center,
The results of the current study, Puskas agrees, support the Hybrid Observational Study Investigators' plans to conduct such a trial.

Brazil vows to be ready for World Cup
BRASILIA, Brazil -- Brazil is a year from the World Cup, admitting to mistakes in its preparations but vowing to be ready in time.
After facing difficulties getting its stadiums open for the Confederations Cup, the eight-nation warmup tournament that begins in Brasilia on Saturday, Brazil is promising that things will be different ahead of the 32-team World Cup.
FIFA said it won't accept it any other way, and Brazilian authorities and local organizers say delays that plagued construction work before the Confederations Cup won't be an issue next year, when the tournament opens with the hosts playing in Sao Paulo on June 12.
Brazil just barely got six stadiums prepared for the Confederations Cup. Only two were completed by the original deadline in December, and in some cases there was time for only one test event before the venues were to host official matches in the tournament for continental champions.
That was what happened in Brasilia and in Rio de Janeiro, home of the final at the renovated Maracana Stadium on June 30.
"I do believe we could have delivered them sooner to allow for the realization of more test events, which could have anticipated some of the problems that arose during those test events," Brazil Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo said. "Apart from that, I believe that all requirements were executed in accordance with expectations and that we will have a Confederations Cup that will be held as expected."
FIFA has made clear that Brazil will have to do a better job for the World Cup, when the expectations will be much higher and the number of visitors will increase.
The Brazilians said FIFA should not worry about the delivery of the remaining six stadiums being built for the World Cup.
"This first delivery was actually the hardest deadline to meet," Rebelo said on a conference call this week. "The evolution of the construction work of these stadiums ... indicates that, yes, they can and will be delivered in December. We have been in close contact with the responsible parties for these stadiums to make sure that those deadlines are fulfilled."
The government said infrastructure projects not ready in time for the Confederations Cup will also be finalized by the World Cup.
"We have been monitoring transportation and urban mobility on a daily basis," Rebelo said. "These works will be delivered in time, together with the next six stadiums. Airport, security, telecommunications and urban mobility will be ready and compatible with the expectations held by the country and by the world."
But not everybody is celebrating in Brazil as the World Cup approaches. There have been complaints because of the high costs of the stadiums and of the government's decision to suspend laws to abide by FIFA requirements.
And on Saturday, the day Brazil opens the Confederations Cup against Japan, Rio residents evicted because of World Cup and projects for the 2016 Rio Olympics will stage what they call a "People's Cup," calling attention to what they say are human rights violations. Local organizers and government officials have said all evictions have happened according to law.
Later Wednesday, FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke and World Cup ambassador Pele were to participate at an event at Copacabana Beach marking one year to the World Cup.

About Us
Catholics for Choice (CFC) was founded in 1973 to serve as a voice for Catholics who believe that the Catholic tradition supports a woman's moral and legal right to follow her conscience in matters of sexuality and reproductive health.
CFC has its headquarters in Washington, DC. We work with sister organizations throughout Latin America, and we maintain a presence in the European parliament and throughout Europe, working closely with Catholic and reproductive health colleagues there. CFC is an ECOSOC-accredited NGO in the UN system and has participated in many UN conferences and forums.
With an annual budget of $3,000,000, CFC and our partners are active in support of social justice and human rights in both church and society.
Read our organizational brochure in English and Spanish.
At Catholics for Choice, We Imagine a World:
Where all women and men are trusted to make moral decisions about their lives.
Where the decision to start a family is thoughtful and planned.
Where policy makers and advocates are free to support policies that create a more just and compassionate society.
Where life-saving health interventions aren't blocked by sectarian interests.
Where abortion is safe, legal and truly accessible, and both contraception and child care are available and affordable.
We Live In a World:
Where abortion remains illegal or unavailable for millions of women around the world, even when it could save their lives.
Where a woman who needs emergency contraception at a hospital or pharmacy is denied because of the religious beliefs of the pharmacist behind the counter, or the nurse in the emergency room.
Where policy makers are ostracized in their churches and harassed by their clergy because of their support for sex education or reproductive healthcare for poor women.
Where a rape survivor in a war torn country can be told by the Vatican that she must continue the pregnancy that resulted from her attack.
Where more than 40 million people live with HIV and AIDS while the Vatican lobbies against the use of condoms.
In all parts of the world, women, men and their families suffer because they lack the resources to plan their families, and the comprehensive information and education to keep themselves safe and healthy.
The Catholic hierarchy's powerful lobby plays a huge role in influencing public policy and affects everyone ― Catholic or not ― by limiting the availability of reproductive healthcare services worldwide.
The Catholic hierarchy's ban on contraception and abortion has a disastrous impact on women's lives, especially the lives of poor women who may rely soley on government-run programs for access to reproductive healthcare services. It is women and their families who pay the price every time theocracy trumps democracy in the debate over women's healthcare.

From Thanks for Flying Jet Blue, Diary, April 1, 2010, the day after Brooke's seventh birthday:
It must have been three years ago. Or maybe it was four. I think we were flying down to Florida, but I'm not entirely sure. You see, unlike my daughter, I forget details over time.
A passenger on our flight was celebrating his birthday. A flight attendant asked us all to join in singing Happy Birthday to him. Over the PA system, he led us in song,
Happy Birthday to you
Thanks for flying Jet Blue
We're so glad to be here
To celebrate with you.
We all chuckled. And had we been anyone else's family, that would most likely have been the end of the story. Just a cute moment that would have been long forgotten. But we're not anyone else's family. We're Brooke's family. So that wasn't the end of the story; it was the beginning.
Brooke hates the Happy Birthday song. She's reached a point where she can tolerate it (especially sung quietly), but it sure as heck wouldn't make her top ten. But the Jet Blue song?
And so it was that yesterday morning, Luau, Katie and I tip-toed into Brooke's balloon-filled bedroom and sang,
Happy Birthday to you
Thanks for flying Jet Blue
We're so glad to be here
To celebrate with you.
And my brand, spanking new seven year-old beamed from ear to ear.
Friday night. Our den ..
Brooke and her friends, buckled in and ready for take off.
I'm told the plane is headed for PBS Kids Land.
And as you can see from the sign, Jet Blue flies direct.

Share Your Story / Testimonials
Share Your Story
Read CFYJ's Publication on Sharing Your Personal Story.
We would like to invite your participation in the Campaign for Youth Justice Case Profiles Project. The project gathers personal stories from youth prosecuted in the adult criminal justice system as well as their parents and families. In order to understand first hand and support recommendations for change, we need to hear about the experiences of those affected by the current system. Case profiles are particularly integral to our awareness work in which we highlight youth, parent, and family voices in our reports, policy briefs, publications, newsletters, and the CFYJ website.
If you or a member of your family has been impacted by juvenile and criminal justice polices, please tell us your story using the toolkits below. These toolkits contain everything you need to effectively tell your story, including consent forms, writing tips and topics to address, and example stories.
Case Profile Toolkit for Parents and Family Members (PDF 100KB)
For parents and family members of youth who are currently or have previously been prosecuted or incarcerated as adults.
Case Profile Toolkit for Incarcerated or Jailed Youth (PDF 93 KB)
For youth, under age 18, who are currently being prosecuted or incarcerated as adults or for individuals who were prosecuted or incarcerated as adults when under age 18 and are either back in the community or serving sentences.
Parent Testimony
When a youth is placed into the adult criminal justice system, they are taken from their community, their friends, and most importantly, their families. Families often feel helpless, as though the system has taken their kid permanently and unfairly, and they feel like there's nothing they can do about it. In their own words, families tell what it's like to have a child in the adult criminal justice system.
Youth Testimony
We feel it's important that those most directly affected by the practice of trying youth as adults have a voice in our reform efforts. Juveniles tried as adults have had the closest contact with the system. Therefore, they are in the best position to describe what it is truly like and outline recommendations for reform. Nobody can speak to the harsh realities of the issue in the way our youth can. Below, you'll find testimonials delivered before policy-makers from incarcerated individuals who have been through the adult system as children.

Mt. Solon's Gomorroh? Cops find possible tryst shack
Augusta County investigators say they have found a tiny cabin containing evidence about 200 yards from the home where an allegedly violent teen dove into the bedroom of his married paramour's home only to be shot and ultimately crippled by the husband.
In addition to charges against the woman, Kimberly Crilley, for unlawful carnal knowledge of the now 15-year-old alleged home invader, charges have also been placed against the boy whose lower leg was reportedly amputated after it was shot in the January 13 incident that took place in the community of Mt. Solon.
The Waynesboro News-Virginian has the latest on the sordid tale.Read more on: kimberly crilley

She's hot.
And pissed.
She's sick. Looks like she was keeping the kid hidden away like some pet dog. Some kid is going to get killed one day by one of these sick bitches.
How embarrasing it must be for her children and her husband.
Gomorrah is misspelled in your headline.
So, now there is more evidence of this sick womans games..hummm..this kid is going to grow up to be a huge menace to society, thanks to the mentally ill adults in his life! I have not heard anything for a while as to what is going on with the enabling mother? Has the husband filed for divorce yet?
Hopefully Crilleys charges will stick, hopefully the mother will be in jail beside her, and the father down the hall.
These people need some serious help!
Today they call him a victim and her a criminal. When I was 15 he was called lucky, she just oversexed, and her husband poor sucker.
Prosecuting women for having sex with 15 year old boys (who want it and want it bad) as though there were an equivalency between that and an older man doing a young girl (who may be coerced and not wanting it bad) is one of the things that makes people everywhere else in the world laugh at our cartoon culture.
The sexes are not equal and never will be.. For reference I refer to Ambrose Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary" and his definition of cynic.
Funny.....she's not smiling in this mug shot like she was the last one.....
Funny.....she's not smiling in this mug shot like she was the last one.....
I think kids under 18 shouldn't be doing it, period!
She doesn't look like she's worth losing a leg over. And what exactly makes the teen "violent", as stated in the article? Oh well, considering some hookers cost an arm and a leg, it sounds like he got off at half price. I guess this case qualifies as EXTREME coitus interruptus.
Just looked at the other article. Why is the kid locked up? For breaking into a house that SHE invited him into? That's not a crime. I don't care if there is another occupant that didn't invite him. That's not a crime.

Lousiana WFC Adds 17 Bucks-only Hunt Days to Deer Area 7 Hunting Season
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission today added 17 days in Deer Area 7 for bucks-only still hunting with firearms, during the 2013-14 Area 7 deer season. The dates include Nov. 9-15 and Nov. 18-28, 2013, providing additional bucks only hunting opportunities in the area.
The still hunt-only season dates for Area 7 deer hunting, with firearms, as originally approved, include: Oct.19-20 (Either-sex); Oct. 21-Nov. 1 (Bucks Only); Nov.16-17 (Either-sex) and Nov. 29-Dec. 1 (Either-sex). These dates have not changed.
The on-line version of the 2013-14 Louisiana Hunting Regulations pamphlet has been updated to reflect these changes on page 12. To view the full document, visit http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/regulations .
During the season setting process, it was the intent of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) to include the dates of Nov. 9-15 and Nov. 18-28 in the bucks only segment of this season. However, these dates were mistakenly left out of the 2013 Notice of Intent. In order to remain consistent with past season lengths and to provide intended additional hunting opportunities during the month of November, LDWF proposed and the Commission approved adding the dates of Nov. 9-15 and Nov. 18-28 in this year's season dates for deer hunting, with firearms, bucks only, still hunt only in Area 7.
Deer Area 7 includes that portion of Iberia Parish south of LA 14 and west of US 90 and all of St. Mary Parish except that portion north of US 90 from Iberia Parish line eastward to Wax Lake Outlet, east of Wax Lake Outlet southward to Intracoastal Waterway, north of Intracoastal Waterway eastward to the Atchafalaya River, east of the Atchafalaya River southward to Bayou Shaffer, north of Bayou Shaffer to Bateman Lake, north and west of Bayou Chene from Bateman Lake to Lake Palourde.
The action was taken by Declaration of Emergency since the Commission's season date rule has already been submitted to the legislative leadership and the Louisiana Register, and insufficient time remained to make these changes via standard rulemaking prior to the opening dates of these seasons.
The action was taken in accordance with the emergency provisions of La. R.S. 49953 of the Administrative Procedure Act, and under the authority of La. R.S. 56:115 and 116, the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.

Composer/pianist Ezra Weiss was born on January 16, 1979, the only child of Barry and Lillie Weiss. He grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, where he was active in community theater, both as an actor and a musical director. He was also involved in band programs, and studied piano with Larry Loeber. After graduating from Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Ezra moved to Ohio to study at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
At Oberlin, Ezra studied composition with Wendell Logan and piano with Neal Creque. During his senior year, Ezra formed the jazz sextet Blues Connotation. In 2001, he received a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Composition and moved to Portland, Oregon.
In Portland, Ezra continued to lead Blues Connotation, which later became the Ezra Weiss Sextet. Ezra also began teaching at the Beaverton Arts and Communication Magnet Academy, Self Enhancement Inc., the WOU Mel Brown Jazz Camp, and the Northwest Children's Theater, where he musical directed numerous productions as well. During this time, Ezra studied piano with Gordon Lee.
In 2002, Ezra flew to New York City for a week to record his debut CD, The Five A.M. Strut. Released a year later on the Umoja label, the CD features Michael Philip Mossman, Antonio Hart, Kelly Roberge, Leon Lee Dorsey, and Billy Hart. The Five A.M. Strut received great attention from the press and spent time on both the JazzWeek and CMJ radio charts.
In 2005, Ezra released his second sextet CD, Persephone, on the Umoja label. Again, the album received excellent reviews and radio airplay.
Ezra has composed and/or arranged music for Leon Lee Dorsey, Billy Hart, Thara Memory, Stan Bock, and Renato Caranto, among others. He has also performed with many great musicians including Greg Bandy, Elif Caglar, Samantha Grabler, Thara Memory, Rob Scheps, Renato Caranto, The Original Cats, Dennis Springer, Ben Fowler, Roger Woods, Farnell Newton, Ki Allen and Dennis Rowland. Additionally, Ezra won the 2002 and 2005/2006 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award. Currently, he also co-leads the Courtney Bryan/Ezra Weiss Jazz Orchestra in New York.

So, with that in mind and my primary obligation of being there with my family I am going to miss the main rally. The good news is that I'll get to attend the pre-run week with Jeff and Anita et.al. The other good news is that there will be a Ouray KOA Creekside back in coming available for the event. I will not cancel my reservation, and perhaps a forum member will take the reservation and we can coordinate. Arrive 8/11/2018, depart 8/19/2-18.

Hi John, Congratulations on your grandson. Our grandson is due in about 2 weeks. What site # is it? We have reservations but our site is pretty small. Thanks.Anita
We will be coming into Ouray from Alb. N.M. on highway 550. Is this doable with our fifthwheel or is there a better route?Robin
IDK which site number, it's only 30A but it will fit a 40' coach. Oh, and it is on the sunny side of the stream abutting it.
Huge "forest fire" north of Durango right now.

I first remember that I was walking all alone in what felt like the stillest dead of night. Everything was shadowy and dim, the world perfectly silent, pervaded by an implacable stillness, steeped in a dark and depressing mood of total solitude. Like I was completely alone in the world-- the only living entity that existed. Disconnected from this world where I had no purpose or connection to anything.
It seemed that I was surrounded by this dormant urban setting where black hazy skyscrapers were looming mysterious, and at the same time I was passing houses in a suburban residential neighborhood. It's hard to say exactly what this place was, but it didn't make sense, in the way that things tend to happen in our dreams. It was all so vague, like all the buildings and houses were just a bunch of ghostly smudges shrouded under this ghostly, nebulous gloom impervious to light. Nothing from this part of the dream can be described with much detail.
It was the omnipresent deadness that stood out most. Stiff, sterile gloom colored every aspect of what I could see. For a long time it seemed I was just wandering aimlessly through the funereal darkness of this dismal no-man's land, and the longer I spent trekking, the more unnerved I felt by the absolute stillness of the world. Hours seemed to pass as I walked through the lifeless cityscape maze, and the night was neverending. Like there was no time or that the night just continued forever. I remember the feeling of loneliness intensified and the darkness seemed to intensify as well until I was just fully absorbed by the shadows. The ambient scenery melted away into inky night blackness.
I don't know how long everything remained blotted out, but eventually these colorful bubbles of bright light started twinkling from somewhere in the distance. Bubbles of light that looked like a widespread cluster of Christmas lights glowing like a magical candy rainbow. I distinctly recall this feeling that the Christmas lights radiated this comforting warmth-- a warmth that created this familiar sense of childhood coziness-- and that enchanting feeling drew me toward the lights in a instant. The next thing I knew I was just like floating in space around the Christmas lights. There was a brief sense of this surreal fantasy escapade, just floating in the while while luminous orbs of green, red, pink, blue, and yellow danced before my eyes.
And next thing I knew, there was this rapid wave of blinding whiteness that flashed in front of me, similar to the flashing of a camera just a few inches away from my eyes. White light was washing over me and I thought I was now driving behind the wheel of a car. Things sped up and for a second or so I was driving really fast until it just hit me that I was driving but couldn't see where I was going and so I slammed down hard on the brakes.
What I remember next was walking again, but I was somewhere else and it no longer looked like night. I was in a lush green countryside where rolling hills dominated the landscape. I got the sense somehow that there was an impending thunderstorm ready to erupt at any moment. I got this ominous vibe of something really sinister lurking nearby, like something eerily watching me from all around. Somehow I could feel it, like there was just this salient bad vibe and I knew there was some mysterious danger very close to me. Something inscrutable. It was there, everywhere around me, but couldn't be directly perceived, only felt. I then felt deeply afraid.
And then I heard people calling out to me. Their voices were indistinct but I very clearly recognized the sound of my name. I traced their source to the door of an imposing cherry red house that just appeared in front of me. The redness of the house was extraordinarily vivid, probably the most prominently colorful visual component of this dark dream. It had the quaint, rustic look of an old English country house. In front of the house I saw my paternal Grandma & Grandpa (who in reality had been dead over a decade) along with some other people that were just amorphous figures I assumed to be other relatives that were taking part in some family gathering. They were all urgently yelling at me to come inside the house. They yelled at me, saying something like it was crazy to be out there. Perhaps because of the imminent storm or some unknown, forbidden thing looming somewhere out there.
So I hastened toward the house and the next thing I knew I was inside of it. Inside the incredibly vast house with its countless rooms and measureless dimensions— and I was all alone. My grandparents and the others were gone. There was no one in that house but me.
I must have been in a living room where I could see the outside world through a circular window. The world out there looked really menacing — yet I can't say exactly why. But I feared the darkness out there, and the darkness grew more powerful and swept around the house, shaking the walls and ceiling with rickety clamor. A rushing cascade of darkness penetrated the room as the house trembled with jarring tumult like the roaring of a hundred thunder peals all at once. The violent force of the sound struck a decibel far beyond the metric of comprehension, like it was something too loud for this world.
Then I saw all these monstrous faces crowding up outside the window, enormous faces like abnormally over-sized masks with the most horrific eyes I have ever seen. They were like the most twisted, evil-looking Halloween goblin masks with such grossly exaggerated features and insane gargoyle expressions, faces conceived only to inflict the most disturbing impression of pure horror. The faces seemed to multiply and suddenly I was seeing them pop up in different windows all around me.
Basically I was looking at the ghastliest collection of faces imaginable. All these giant diabolical faces hideously blown out of proportion
swelling up inside the windows. I have no idea how many of them there were. Maybe dozens and dozens of them. Massive that were like bizarre, grotesque masks appearing inside the windows leering at me with freakishly wide, deranged evil eyes.
The best way I can try to convey what kinds of faces I was seeing is with these images of European Carnival masks (specifically German Karnival, or Fasching). These bear the closest resemblance to what I saw in this nightmare, except that the faces I saw were darker, larger, more outlandish and grotesque:
I went wild with terror, running out of control, desperately seeking a safe place to hide, charging full-throttle through a series of nondescript rooms and massive galleries traversing the unfathomable breadth of this house. But every step of the way I felt cornered, like the infernal throng of mask-faced monsters was chasing me, gaining on me, inching closer and closer to me no matter how ridiculously fast I ran.
Next I was somewhere below the first floor of the house, like part of the basement or cellar, inside a tiny room enclosed in darkness. I didn't know what was going on anymore. My attention became glued to the image of a familiar woman's face glaring at me from the wall. It was the face of the Mona Lisa, and in fact I was positive in the dream that it was the real Mona Lisa that was there in that little room with me in the basement of that house. I've always thought there was something a bit creepy about her iconic enigmatic expression, and in this dream, this nightmare, her face was covered by an especially dark shade. Her eyes glimmered with a strange, haunting power, and everything about her just looked warped and infused with pure evil. She radiated an obscene darkness that I felt saturate me with gripping fear. There was something about this Mona Lisa that was even more frightening than all the giant mask faces I'd seen before.
I just wanted to get the hell away from her, but it that seemed impossible. I ran and ran and yet her image remained the same, without any variation in her ambiguous countenance or shift in distance. That haunting Mona Lisa watched me unflinchingly, her ghostly eyes following me, glowing weirdly, zooming in on me as though to cast a devilish spell.
Then there was the final segment of the nightmare. In my frantic effort to flee as far as possible from those watching eyes of the Mona Lisa, stuck down there in that subterranean vault of the house which seemed to go on and on forever, I came upon a door that was marked with brazen red letters. Because this was a dream the letters looked all distorted and scrambled, yet there was something freakish about their scattershot configuration, like splattered green ooze spelling out something unseemly and perverse. With my mind's eye I was able to decipher the words, BEHIND THIS DOOR IS HELL.
I froze up in front of that door. I felt paralyzed. Doomed. It was like I was literally incapable of moving. I believed that I had only two choices left: Either open the door and go into Hell or remain stuck in the spot where I was for all of eternity. There was no going back. There was no going up. There was just me and this door to Hell.
I could hear the odious din of noises behind the door. All these garbled noises rattling from the underworld abyss. Noises of anguish mixed with satanic malice. The noises amplified quickly into an intolerably piercing pitch. Thousands of voices wailing and shrieking at me. The door in front of me was trembling. Everything was trembling. I knew that whatever things were making those terrible noises were coming for me. I knew there was no escape.
A violent paroxysm of fear swelled up inside me, like this extremely powerful puncture and weight of pressure that just exploded all at once. The door to Hell swung open and in the next instant I awoke from the nightmare, reeling in a crazed spasm of absolute horror.

Internet and Computer Addiction
Signs, Symptoms, and Help for Balancing Your Time Online and Off
While time spent online can be hugely productive, compulsive Internet use can interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. When you feel more comfortable with your online friends than your real ones, or you can't stop yourself from playing games, gambling, or compulsively checking your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device—even when it has negative consequences in your life—then you may be using the Internet too much.
Learn about the signs and symptoms of Internet addiction and how to balance your life online and off.
What is Internet addiction or computer addiction?
Internet Addiction, otherwise known as computer addiction, online addiction, or Internet addiction disorder (IAD), covers a variety of impulse-control problems, including:
- Cybersex Addiction – compulsive use of Internet pornography, adult chat rooms, or adult fantasy role-play sites impacting negatively on real-life intimate relationships.
- Cyber-Relationship Addiction – addiction to social networking, chat rooms, texting, and messaging to the point where virtual, online friends become more important than real-life relationships with family and friends.
- Net Compulsions – such as compulsive online gaming, gambling, stock trading, or compulsive use of online auction sites such as eBay, often resulting in financial and job-related problems.
- Information Overload – compulsive web surfing or database searching, leading to lower work productivity and less social interaction with family and friends.
- Computer Addiction – obsessive playing of off-line computer games, such as Solitaire or Minesweeper, or obsessive computer programming.
The most common of these Internet addictions are cybersex, online gambling, and cyber-relationship addiction.
Healthy vs. unhealthy Internet use
The Internet provides a constant, ever-changing source of information and entertainment, and can be accessed from most smartphones as well as tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Email, blogs, social networks, instant messaging, and message boards allow for both public and anonymous communication about any topic. But how much is too much Internet usage?
Each person's Internet use is different. You might need to use the Internet extensively for your work, for example, or you might rely heavily on social networking sites to keep in touch with faraway family and friends. Spending a lot of time online only becomes a problem when it absorbs too much of your time, causing you to neglect your relationships, your work, school, or other important things in your life. If you keep repeating compulsive Internet behavior despite the negative consequences in your offline life, then it's time to strike a new balance.
How do people become addicted to the Internet?
To relieve unpleasant and overwhelming feelings
Many people turn to the Internet in order to manage unpleasant feelings such as stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. When you have a bad day and are looking for a way to escape your problems or to quickly relieve stress or self-soothe, the Internet can be an easily accessible outlet. Losing yourself online can temporarily make feelings such as loneliness, stress, anxiety, depression, and boredom evaporate into thin air. As much comfort as the Internet can provide, though, it's important to remember that there are healthier (and more effective) ways to keep difficult feelings in check. These may include exercising, meditating, and practicing simple relaxation techniques.
For many people, an important aspect of overcoming Internet and computer addiction is to find alternate ways to handle these difficult feelings. Even when your Internet use is back to healthy levels, the painful and unpleasant feelings that may have prompted you to engage in unhealthy Internet use in the past will remain. So, it's worth spending some time thinking about the different ways you intend to deal with stressful situations and the daily irritations that would normally have you logging on.
Risk factors for Internet addiction and computer addiction
You are at greater risk of Internet addiction if:
- You suffer from anxiety. You may use the Internet to distract yourself from your worries and fears. An anxiety disorder like obsessive-compulsive disorder may also contribute to excessive email checking and compulsive Internet use.
- You are depressed. The Internet can be an escape from feelings of depression, but too much time online can make things worse. Internet addiction further contributes to stress, isolation and loneliness.
- You have any other addictions. Many Internet addicts suffer from other addictions, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, and sex.
- You lack social support. Internet addicts often use social networking sites, instant messaging, or online gaming as a safe way of establishing new relationships and more confidently relating to others.
- You're an unhappy teenager. You might be wondering where you fit in and the Internet could feel more comfortable than real-life friends.
- You are less mobile or socially active than you once were. For example, you may be coping with a new disability that limits your ability to drive. Or you may be parenting very young children, which can make it hard to leave the house or connect with old friends.
- You are stressed. While some people use the Internet to relieve stress, it can have a counterproductive effect. The longer you spend online, the higher your stress levels will be.
Signs and symptoms of Internet addiction or computer addiction
Signs and symptoms of Internet addiction vary from person to person. For example, there are no set hours per day or number of messages sent that indicate Internet addiction. But here are some general warning signs that your Internet use may have become a problem:
- Losing track of time online. Do you frequently find yourself on the Internet longer than you intended? Does a few minutes turn in to a few hours? Do you get irritated or cranky if your online time is interrupted?
- Having trouble completing tasks at work or home. Do you find laundry piling up and little food in the house for dinner because you've been busy online? Perhaps you find yourself working late more often because you can't complete your work on time—then staying even longer when everyone else has gone home so you can use the Internet freely.
- Isolation from family and friends. Is your social life suffering because of all the time you spend online? Are you neglecting your family and friends? Do you feel like no one in your "real" life—even your spouse—understands you like your online friends?
- Feeling guilty or defensive about your Internet use. Are you sick of your spouse nagging you to get off the computer or put your smartphone down and spend time together? Do you hide your Internet use or lie to your boss and family about the amount of time you spend on the computer or mobile devices and what you do while you're online?
- Feeling a sense of euphoria while involved in Internet activities. Do you use the Internet as an outlet when stressed, sad, or for sexual gratification or excitement? Have you tried to limit your Internet time but failed?
Physical symptoms of Internet addiction
Internet or computer addiction can also cause physical discomfort such as:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (pain and numbness in hands and wrists)
- Dry eyes or strained vision
- Back aches and neck aches; severe headaches
- Sleep disturbances
- Pronounced weight gain or weight loss
Internet addiction: Cybersex and pornography
While online pornography and cybersex addictions are types of sexual addiction, special challenges on the Internet include its relative anonymity and ease of access. It's easy to spend hours on the Internet in the privacy of your own home, and engage in fantasies impossible in real life.
Compulsively spending hours on the Internet viewing pornography or engaging in other cybersex activities can adversely affect real-life relationships, career, and emotional health.
What's the difference between healthy and unhealthy sexuality?
For most adults, healthy sexuality is an integrated life experience. Sex with partners, with self, or as a part of exploring new relationships is usually a pleasurable act of choice. For sexual addicts however, sexual behavior can be most often defined by words such as driven, compulsive, and hidden. Unlike healthy sex that is integrated into relationships, sexual addicts use sex as a means to cope, to handle boredom, anxiety, and other powerful feelings or as a way to feel important, wanted, or powerful.

While gambling has been a well-documented problem for years, the availability of Internet gambling has made gambling far more accessible. It has also made it harder for recovering addicts to avoid relapse. Online or virtual casinos are open all day, every day for anyone with Internet access. People who don't live within close proximity of a traditional casino or betting track, for example, or even those who are too young to gain access, now find it much easier to gamble online.
Other net compulsions
Net compulsions such as compulsive stock trading or online auction shopping can be just as financially and socially damaging as online gambling. eBay addicts, for example, may wake up at strange hours in order to be online for the last remaining minutes of an auction. They may purchase things they don't need and can't afford in order to experience the excitement of placing the winning bid.
Compulsive online gamers can isolate themselves for many hours at a time participating in virtual reality or online fantasy games, neglecting other aspects of their lives such as work and family.
Internet addiction: Cyber-relationships
When used responsibly, the Internet can be a great place to interact socially, meet new people, and even start romantic relationships. However, online relationships can often be more intense than those in real life. Our fantasies are given free reign and the idea of being with our online love can exceed all realistic expectations. Since few real-life relationships can compete with these wild, fantasy relationships, the Internet addict will prefer to spend more and more time with their online friends.
Another problem is that about 50% of people online lie about their age, weight, job, marital status, or gender. When online friends meet and the real-life person fails to match the online persona, it can create profound emotional disappointment.
Self-help tips for breaking your Internet addiction
There are a number of steps you can take to get your Internet use under control. While you can initiate many of these yourself, it's important you get some outside support as well. It can be all too easy to slip back into old patterns of usage, especially if you use the Internet heavily for work or other important activities.
- Recognize any underlying problems that may support your Internet addiction. If you are struggling with depression, stress, or anxiety, for example, Internet addiction might be a way to self-soothe rocky moods. Have you had problems with alcohol or drugs in the past? Does anything about your Internet use remind you of how you used to drink or use drugs to numb yourself? Recognize if you need to address treatment in these areas or return to group support meetings.
- Build your coping skills. Perhaps blowing off steam on the Internet is your way of coping with stress or angry feelings. Or maybe you have trouble relating to others, or are excessively shy with people in real life. Building skills in these areas will help you weather the stresses and strains of daily life without resorting to compulsive Internet use.
- Strengthen your support network. The more relationships you have in real life, the less you will need the Internet for social interaction. Set aside dedicated time each week for friends and family. If you are shy, try finding common interest groups such as a sports team, education class, or book reading club. This allows you to interact with others and let relationships develop naturally.
Modify your Internet use step by step:
- To help you see problem areas, keep a log of how much you use the Internet for non-work or non-essential activities. Are there times of day that you use the Internet more? Are there triggers in your day that make you stay online for hours at a time when you only planned to stay for a few minutes?
- Set goals for when you can use the Internet. For example, you might try setting a timer, scheduling use for certain times of day, or making a commitment to turn off the computer, tablet, or smartphone at the same time each night. Or you could reward yourself with a certain amount of online time once you've completed a homework assignment or finished the laundry, for instance.
- Replace your Internet usage with healthy activities. If you are bored and lonely, resisting the urge to get back online can be very difficult. Have a plan for other ways to fill the time, such as going to lunch with a coworker, taking a class, or inviting a friend over.
Tips for dealing with Internet addiction:
- Ask yourself, "What am I missing out on when I spend so much time on the Internet?" Write down these activities and decrease your Internet time to pursue some of them.
- Set reasonable Internet use goals and stick to them. Take frequent breaks, at least 5 minutes each hour, and do some other activity.
- Alter your routine to break your usage patterns. If you spend evenings on the Internet, start limiting your use to mornings.
- Seek out friends and acquaintances who "couldn't care less" about the Internet. Take time to appreciate the fact that all life is not yet online.
- Stay connected to the offline world. Visit newsstands, book and music stores, and participate in entertainment such as museums, music, and live theater. Novels and poetry readings are hard to experience online.
- Treat the Internet as a tool. Stay focused on the fact that the Internet is a means to an end. Plan your strategy—whether you're looking for information or entertainment—with the end in mind and you'll save valuable time.

Internet addiction treatment, counseling, and support
Therapy and counseling for Internet addiction
Therapy can give you a tremendous boost in controlling Internet use. Cognitive-behavioral therapy provides step-by-step ways to stop compulsive Internet behaviors and change your perceptions regarding Internet, smartphone, and computer use. Therapy can also help you learn healthier ways of coping with uncomfortable emotions, such as stress, anxiety, or depression.
If your Internet use is affecting your partner directly, as with excessive cybersex or online affairs, marriage counseling can help you work through these challenging issues. Marriage counseling can also help you reconnect with your partner if you have been using the Internet for most of your social needs.
For help finding a therapist for Internet addiction, see Resources and References section below.
Group support for Internet addiction
Since Internet addiction is relatively new, it can be hard to find a real-life support group dedicated to the issue like Alcoholics Anonymous or Gamblers Anonymous. If that is a simultaneous problem for you, however, attending groups can help you work through your alcohol or gambling problems as well. Sex Addicts Anonymous may be another place to try if you are having trouble with cybersex. There may also be groups where you can work on social and coping skills, such as for anxiety or depression.
There are some Internet addiction support groups on the Internet. However, these should be used with caution. Although they may be helpful in orienting you and pointing you in the right direction, you need real-life people to best benefit from group support.

- Support their desire for change if they think they have a problem.
- Encourage them to seek professional counseling.

Helping a child or teen with an Internet addiction
It's a fine line as a parent. If you severely limit a child or teen's Internet use, they might rebel and go to excess. But you should monitor computer and smartphone use, superviseonline activity, and get your child help if he or she needs it. If your child or teen is showing signs of Internet addiction, there are things that you can do to help:
- Encourage other interests and social activities. Get your child out from behind the computer screen. Expose kids to other hobbies and activities, such as team sports, Scouts, and afterschool clubs.
- Monitor computer use and set clear limits. Restrict the use of computers or tablets to a common area of the house where you can keep an eye on your child's online activity, and limit time online. This will be most effective if you as a parent follow suit. If you can't stay offline, chances are your child won't either.
- Use apps to limit your child's smartphone use. If your child has his or her own smartphone, it's very difficult to directly monitor their time on the Internet. However, there are a number of apps available that can effectively do the monitoring for you by limiting your child's data usage or restricting his or her texting and web browsing to certain times of the day. Most of the major carriers offer parental control apps. Other third-party apps are also available that eliminate texting and emailing capabilities while in motion, so you can prevent your teen using a smartphone while driving. See Resources & References section below for more information.
- Talk to your child about underlying issues. Compulsive computer use can be the sign of deeper problems. Is your child having problems fitting in? Has there been a recent major change, like a move or divorce, which is causing stress?
- Get help. Teenagers often rebel against their parents but if they hear the same information from a different authority figure, they may be more inclined to listen. Try a sports coach, doctor, or respected family friend. Don't be afraid to seek professional counseling if you are concerned about your child.

Six Palestinian prisoners held in Israel held without trial or charge in solitary confinement entered into day 13 of their hunger strike August 31 in protest against their detention, Ma'an News Agency reported Monday.
The Palestinian Prisoner's Centre named the men as Nidal Abu Aker, 48, Shadi Maali, 39, Ghassan Zawahreh, 32, from Bethlehem, and Badr al-Ruzza and Munir Abu Sharar from Hebron.
The men began a hunger strike August 18 to protest their detention the Palestinian Prisoner's Center said.
The announcement comes after a string of high profile hunger strikes ended in Palestinian detainees being released by Israeli authorities from administrative detentions for medical treatment.
Mohammad Allan, an alleged member of Palestinian political party and resistance organisation Islamic Jihad, which is considered a terrorist organisation by the West and Israel, was recently released from administrative detention after a 66-day hunger strike following a sharp decline in Allan's physical health.
Adnan Khader was released from an administrative detention following a 56 day hunger strike in May. It was the tenth time Israeli authorities had held Khader in administrative detention.
The Israeli parliament approved a law July allowing prisoners on hunger strike facing death to be force fed. Due to widespread protest against the new law in Israel and Palestine, the law has yet to be enforced.
Administrative detention, a holdover from the British Mandate, is detention without charge or trial that is authorized by administrative order rather than by judicial decree. Administrative detentions typically last up to six months but can be renewed indefinitely.
Israeli authorities renewed the detentions of nearly 480 Palestinians held in Israeli administrative detention, researcher for prisoners' affairs Riyad al-Ashqar announced. Seventy five detainees are having their detentions renewed for the fourth time. Israel has issued over 700 administrative detention orders since the beginning of 2015.
