or are the just producing the placebo effect
sort by best latest
Most "alternative" health practices have been around a lot longer than Western medicine. I have been a believer in both, but turned solely to natural medicine when I saw how bad a lot of the FDA approved drugs are. They are pushed through too quickly (for profit) and often end up killing a great deal of people. I was one that was almost killed by a prescription that was later "black listed" and should never have been given to me. I was a 32 year old healthy woman at the time. At that point I switched over to all natural medicine and taking care of my health through strict vegetarian diet and healthy habits like being active etc. All is well now.
Have you ever seen some of the side effects listed for some of these drugs? I remember one that was for eczema that has since been pulled most likely because the commercials aren't on anymore. The "rare but serious side effects" included seizures and death. Really? I think I'll keep the skin rash thanks ;) ... but people will believe in stuff and take it without question and they put their lives and health at risk for a supposed "cure".
Western medicine is all about chasing symptoms and having a pill for everything. Keeping people chronically unwell while making great profits at doing so. Alternative medicine tends to focus more on "whole being wellness" which in turn leads to healthier lifestyles and better chances at addressing the underlying issues rather than just chasing symptoms. I will take what has worked for thousands of years over "modern" medicine in most cases - although both do certainly have a place. For example modern surgeries (when needed) some dentistry etc.

Yes, a lot of alternative medicine is effective. It is not alternative because it does not work as well. It is just a different method. Some of the alternative methods have been in use for a very long time. I have used meditation and healing exercises like yoga, tai chi and qigong to improve my health.
In places like Canada and the United States people take a lot of pills. I can fix or prevent a lot of common problems by meditating and doing healing exercises. I even cured my seasonal allergies so I do not need to pay for allergy medicine that made me tired and only reduced the symptoms.

I have had good luck with several forms of alternative medicine, #1 chiropractic has REALLY helped me over the years. Using Aloe Vera on my nose that had gotten frost bite one day and sunburnt the next started my love for aloe and many other uses for it, that is one of my topical standbys. Eating certain things like onion, garlic and other spice/herb things I cook with on a daily basis kept a friend of mine from getting sick the winter we were room mates, she usually gets seriously sick 3 or 4 times a winter.... she was shocked she didn't get sick.
None of that even speaks of things like the benefits of flax seed... many of the homeopathic stuff are just things we need to keep our selves healthy

I honestly don't believe that you can come across any form of medication that was not a homeopath remedy first. Rather than tell a women to stop consuming so much caffine because she had urinary tract infection doctors will give you a perscription or tell you to get something over the counter.Everything that we need I believe comes from the earth; just as most medicines made come from the ground.MEDICINE IS A MONEY MARKET LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. That is not to say that doctors have no purpose because they do....But it is a medical practice and I believe that they are catching up to the old wives tales of remedies of the past. BUT THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION.I believe that alternative medicines are the way to go. That is why they have PHDs working in the field of medicine and more and more clinics and hospitals than ever. If the placebo effect can heal you then your body is probably stronger then you know.And agin I say that it is just my opinion.....Be Well

Hmm, that's hard to say. How can you tell, yourself, if you're feeling a placebo effect?... I have tried several forms of alternative medicines for various things. Homeopathy didn't work for me and nor did reflexology or reiki. Acupuncture may have worked if I hadn't have jumped and tensed up at every needle, lol! The only one so far that's worked for me is chiropractic. This helped me a lot with my neck problems.

Hi Jimmy! I`m not sure which alternative you`re thinking about but I will give you my opinion anyway... hopping there`s nothing wrong with your health or your family. The placebo effect happens every time you Believe in what you are being told and what some treatment will do for you... only then it works! Problem is trying to find those treatments that you can Believe on... better said, one must find those who are truly committed in helping others (not for money, not for recognition, just for the sake of the self being health)... that`s why there are still very good doctors practicing common medicine (they haven`t found a better way yet). Otherwise no one would believe in medicine nowadays... common and/or alternative.
Personally, I don`t believe in any kind of practice as being the only one. I try to Be my on "doctor", choosing to be calm in the present moment, doing things that make me happy, being aware of my words and actions as well as their consequences for others, conscious of what has brought us till now... mistakes had/has to be made in order to better understand our self and "grow". Every doctor is also a patient... we are all tiny little cells trying to understand what we have been doing wrong.
Meditation as been my number one treatment... works for me every time!

Repetitive sequences in Mycobacterium leprae and their impact on genome plasticity.
About 2% of the genome of Mycobacterium leprae is composed of repetitive DNA. There are more than 26 extinct IS elements together with four families of dispersed repeats, present in five copies or more, RLEP (37 copies), REPLEP (15 copies), LEPREP (eight copies), and LEPRPT (five copies). Although there is no sequence similarity to known transposable elements, RLEP occurs predominantly at the 3'-end of genes and, in several cases, within pseudogenes, suggesting that it was capable of dissemination. Strikingly, on comparison of the genome sequences of M. leprae and the closely related tubercle bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, many of these repetitive sequences were found at sites of discontinuity in gene order. Evidence is presented that loss of synteny, inversion and genome downsizing may have resulted from recombination between dispersed copies of these repetitive elements.

Epstein admits frustration at not making a bigger deal
The Red Sox felt they were close on a number of relievers who would have helped the team right now, but in the end the best they could do at the trading deadline was acquire catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and jettison reliever Ramon Ramirez.
And general manager Theo Epstein isn't going to put a happy face on it -- he wishes the team could have done more.
"In past years, we've been able to make trades that immediately impact our big league team and that's a really satisfying feeling," he said. "Other years we haven't been able to and come away with a bit of an empty feeling. So today's is more the latter. It's not the end of the story. We have August. We have a team that has the ability to get really hot as we get healthy and play our way right back to where we want to go. We have the ability to add in August as well and get contributions from our internal solutions.
"That's not the whole story, but if you ask me are we frustrated that we weren't able to help this team today, yeah, we are."
The Red Sox did summon top prospect Ryan Kalish to play left field and left-hander Dustin Richardson to help the bullpen. Minor leaguers Felix Doubront and Michael Bowden are also waiting in the wings at Triple A Pawtucket to help out in relief.
"We felt like we have some internal solutions," Epstein said. "Right before we give up a guy like Felix Doubront in a trade, we're going to put him in the bullpen and see what he looks like down at Pawtucket and he'll have a chance to come up and help us at some point.
"As long as there's been baseball, there's been good young prospects breaking into the game as relievers who might end up as starters. We think that Felix and Michael Bowden might fit that bill. We explored a lot of different relievers. It is an empty feeling to come away empty handed. But before we did something we felt we would regret for a long time, we felt like this was the best course to ultimately help our 2010 club and do it in a way that helps the future as well."
Epstein added that outfielder Jeremy Hermida, who was designated for assignment to make room for Kalish, will either be traded or sent to Pawtucket.

January 19, 2011
Tony Mitchell never expected to be a poster case for the dangers of attending an unaccredited high school. He never expected to set the standard for uber-talented players who fail to put on an NCAA jersey. Yet, thanks to the murky backwaters surrounding one of his former schools -- Miami's Center of Life Academy -- Mitchell, unanimously considered one of the most talented prospects among the Class of 2010, is likely to spend an entire season on the sidelines unable to suit up for a threatening Missouri squad, the school he signed with as a senior at Pinkston (Texas) High.
The latest developments in Mitchell's topsy-turvy road to either an NCAA hardcourt or possible irrelevance come via Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports college basketball analyst Seth Davis, who brazenly declared, "I don't think Tony Mitchell is ever going to play college basketball," during a telecast on Sunday. Last week, the NCAA's Eligibility Committee was expected to announce that Mitchell had failed to meet the requirements for eligibility in time for the start of Missouri's second semester, a decision which would render him ineligible for his entire freshman season.
Yet, just when that decision was about to be announced by Missouri itself, the NCAA told the school to hold off, pending additional information that arrived in Indianapolis via FedEx from Center of Life Academy, the unaccredited basketball factory that preceded Mitchell's career at Pinkston. The core of Mitchell's eligibility issues can all be traced back to whether he completed enough "core courses" while enrolled at Center of Life.
If it is finally determined that he did earn enough core courses, then his high school diploma may finally be certified and Mitchell may be deemed worthy of attending college courses. Of course, that would make him eligible to play for the Tigers, at the same time handing Missouri its most prized recruit in at least a decade, one which coach Mike Anderson would almost certainly inject directly into Missouri's core rotation.
If those credits are rejected, Mitchell will almost immediately vault up the ladder of past cases of academic hardship, into a unique scenario which has emerged across recent years in the aftermath of widespread investigations of basketball diploma mills by the New York Times and other outlets.
That would be a shame for Mitchell and Missouri, but it might also serve a valuable purpose for other talented teen hoopsters across the country. While it's certainly not the legacy Mitchell will have imagined for himself, it might be an even more lasting one for the future of high school and college basketball.

Despite the radically cheaper print cost at these sites (10c and lower!) there's plenty of digital photographers out there who prefer to do it at home on their own printer. The benefit is the extra control of the output and, to be realistic, the home printing cost is far less once you reach an output size of A4 and larger.
Author Rob Shephard has now revised this book five times and the new edition is very welcome, containing 'almost all new material.'
What has happened in the interval is the arrival of high end DSLRs, able to capture image quality in excess of the previous ultimate standard ? medium format film cameras.
Another factor is the introduction of refined and enhanced printers, now capable of deep and rich black output as well as the use of sophisticated and enhanced multiple colour ink cartridges that provide subtle shading that will reproduce even the trickiest images.
The question, Shephard poses, is 'What is a good print ?? One answer is a good print is one that matches the monitor display. His response to this is to point out that 'a print is physically a very different thing than the image on the monitor.' For one thing they each are very different display technologies.
Additionally, the original capture is only the beginning of an image. For many, this is the starting off point and the rendering of the final print the end of the journey. The book suggests you make an initial 'work print' and use this to determine what is the final 'look' you seek. Does it need warming up or cooling down? More contrast?
Brighter? Diffusion? Lower colour saturation?
An early chapter discusses the choice of a printer: whether you need a dye or pigmented ink printer; if you're ambitious you may need a six or eight colour printer; fast or slow printer; a need to print with thicker papers using a printer with a straight-through paper path; larger output, up to 43x56cm.
The point is made that most times a good print begins with the taking of the picture. Such matters as image sharpness, depth of field, precise exposure and correct white balance must be attended to so that you have a 'full image' to work with. Don't snap the shutter with the thought that if anything is wrong 'Photoshop will fix it!'
Other topics covered: printing workflow; image software; resizing and sharpening; choice of appropriate media; print permanence; B&W and panorama output; printer maintenance.
There are gallery pages showing the work of a number of master photographers; their work and the other images gain from the large size of the book: 22x28cm.
The book is heavily Epson-specific, especially when it comes down to the listing of the various output media but the overall messages apply to all makes of printer.
Highly useful!

EAST ALTON — The Alton Redbirds hockey team evidently got their coach's message. There was no slow start Monday against Highland.
Jake Bohn scored at 13:50 of the first period and teammate Zack Hunter added a second goal six seconds later and the Redbirds rolled to a 9-2 Mississippi Valley Club Hockey Association victory over Highland in the's late game at the East Alton Ice Arena.
Brandon Lang led the way with four goals and two assists, while Hunter had a goal and four assists for Alton.
"It was one of, it not the best start to a game this season," Henson said. "Two goals in the first 30 seconds. (Lang) had six points on the night and I think that's a career high for him. and Hunter had five points
"It was a huge game for those two boys."
Following a 2-1 loss to Freeburg/Waterloo last Thursday, Alton coach Abram Henson was concerned with a slow start by his team. It was No. 1 on his must-do list.
With the victory, the Redbirds ran their record to 6-5. They are tied with O'Fallon the MVCHA standings with 12 team points. Columbia (8-1-1) leads with 17 points, while Edwardsville (8-0) is second with 16 points and a game in hand. Freeburg/Waterloo and Triad are tied with 13 points each, followed by Alton and O'Fallon, Belleville with 10, Bethalto 8, Higland 6, East Alton-Wood River and Granite City with 4 each and Collinsville last with 3.
Monday night, the Redbirds scored a pair of power-play goals in en route to the win. Highland was whistled for five penalties good for 18 minutes in penalty time. Alton was called for four penalties for eight minutes. Alton outshot Highland 29-15.
Bohn took an assist from Lang to make it 1-0 at 13:50. Bohn then assisted Hunter's goal at 13:44 to make it 2-0.
Highland cut that lead in half at 3:55 of the first period when Eric Vice scored from a Devin Korte assist. But moments later, the Redbirds had their two-0goallead again after Lang scored a power-play goal, assisted by Tanner St. Peters and Hunter, making it 3-1 after the first period.
In the second period, the Redbirds again hit the Bulldogs early. Lang scored another power-play goal from assists by Jacob Eppel and Hunter at 13:24. Then Joe Boveingloh scored from a Scotty Waldrup assist at 12:46 and Eppel scored from a Bohn assist at 11:39, making it 6-1.
After a shorthanded goal by Highland's Brock Troxell made it 6-2, Lang scored at 4:50 to make it 7-2 heading into the third period.
Lang, assisted by Hunter, and Eppel, assisted by Lang, capped the scoring in the third period.
"All-in-all, the whole team played well and everyone contributed," Henson said. "It was a great game for us.
"I'm looking forward to this hopefully becoming a trend as we move toward the playoffs."

- Date of passing: Oct 31, 2011
|When people you work with do their job to make things right and still have time to smile and get along with others, I want them around. -John Wayne
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Craig J. Bradshaw. He was born in 1945 to Jack and Lorraine Bradshaw and passed away on October 31, 2011. Craig was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend and is survived by his eternal companion Annette Cox, his five children, eight grandchildren, and his brother Rick and sister Bonnie.
There will be a viewing on Sunday, November 6, 2011, at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 1007 W South Jordan Parkway, from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, November 7, 2011, at the Canyon View Stake Center in Sandy, 9119 South 1300 East. A viewing will be held before the services from 10:00 - 11:00 am.
In lieu of flowers, please continue Craig's legacy of service and compassion by donating to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Missionary or Humanitarian Aid funds.
"I just heard about Craig's passing yesterday and a stroke of sadness hit my heart. I was Craig's assistant for awhile at AI&I (84-86) and considered him one of the most gentle, kind, respectful man I had ever met. Working with Craig was always a pleasure! I left AI&I to get married and moved to Las Vegas. I'm sure he was a great missionary there (still is); was always a great example!"
"I remember Craig fondly at Kelly and James wedding. He was so gracious and accepting of our daughter. The toast he gave was funny, insightful and given with such warmth and genuine affection for the couple. He will be missed."
"Craig, my beloved son-in-law. You have been a member of our family forever. You have been loved and appreciated since day one.
The perfect son! Thank you! You are greatly missed. I love you. Mom Cox"
"Craig was the missionary that taught us the gospel, here in Laconia, New Hampshire back in 1965. We joined and have been active ever since. We have kept in touch over the years and he even came to our farewell party as we were going on a mission in 2000 and again when we served in 2003. What a great servant of the Lord he is."
"Annette and family,
I was saddened by the news of Craig's passing. As I currently serve as a District Executive for the Boy Scouts, I particularly like the photo of Craig and Annette on either side of their son (I am guessing an Eagle court of honor?) Craig was always so nice to me, he will be missed."
"Dear Annette,
I am so saddened and sorry to hear of Craig's passing.
I love you. Love, AnnMarie (Paul)"
"When Craig came to our Church, the Saratoga Springs Fifth Ward, I was immediatly impressed with him. I asked him about his Scouting background and he proceeded to tell me. I asked him if he would do a Scouting resume and send it back to me. I sent him the template for a resume but before he could finish it, he went on a mission to California. He has returned. but as a guardian angel."
"Dear Annette and Family,
We are so sorry to learn of the passing of Craig. We know how much you and he are loved by our brother Jerry and his wife, Debbie. They will greatly miss your service in the mission field. We extend our love and sympathy at this time and know that our loving Heavenly Father will comfort you until you are together again."
"We visited Craig many times right out in the street between our homes in our little Lakeside neighborhood.Craig could often be found tinkering in his BEAUTIFUL garage.This peaceful, GOOD MAN was was so prepared when he was "called to serve". I love that he had a special art room built for Annette.We will miss our street-visits, and we'll watch over your sweetheart while you wait for her!"
"I Remember the first time I saw him mowing the lawn with his old push by hand mower, I was amazed at what a hard worker he always has been. One of the kindest men I know. I remember always wanting to ride in the bus!! He Made you feel important and always a good listener. I wish I could be there now, I am grateful to have grown up in a family that spent time together. love you all."
"I remember one winter when we were hunting for Christmas trees Craig brought a hand gun. He taught those of us who weren't use to it how to hold it and how to aim. We had a lot of fun learning how to shoot. I remember laughing about this bringing a whole new meaning to "Christmas tree hunting". Mostly I remember his warm welcoming smile & hug, and his sincere "how are you?" He meant it."
"We were on a family trip. I was a teenager. It was cold and I was wearing Annette's jacket. Craig snuck behind me and put his arm around me thinking it was his wife. I don't think I've ever seen him so embarrassed. He let Annette know she was never to do that again. Craig was a great example for all the men in our family. He was the strong silent type. We have a lot to live up to."
"Craig and I became bros-in-law in 1982. Over the last 30 years we have shared many a Cox reunion and other family gatherings. We visited frequently about our families, running routines, and business. When I think of Craig, these words come to mind: quiet, humble, earnest, disciplined, devoted, honest, Priesthood man, example. I have always looked up to you brother!! See you soon!"
"A few great memories of Criag, 1 that stands out is when he took me fishing, I was only about 6, and he told me if I put the worms in my mouth to warm them up we would catch more fish. I remember camping trips in their VW bus, he had fixed it up with a bed that folded out the back and he had made a canvas tent that he snapped around it. I love you Craig! You will not be forgotten"

Jenson Button nets £57k in one day
TopGear.com's Monday teaser: Can £57,000 dry the tears of a soon-to-be-former F1 world champ?
Jenson Button - McLaren driver, TG lap-board-er and all round Cool Dude - pretty much lost his chance of repeating his 2009 feat of becoming F1 world champion, thanks to something called 'Korea'.
Still, he can take heart from selling two of his beloved motors at last Friday's H&H auction in Somerset, netting him a tidy £57,000.
His classic, and rather beautiful Honda S600 sold for £40,700, while his comedy 1970 VW Kombi went for over £15k, making the 'Frome-flyer' a tidy sum.
Strange choices for a racing maestro, but don't forget, Jense used to own quite a lot of exciting machinery, including a BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Bugatti Veyron.
Maybe he could spend some of that auction haul on a huggable bear, to hug away his Korean heartbreak?
If you happened to miss the inaugural Korean GP, here's a quick roundup: wet, safety car, more wet, still safety car, slightly wetter, safety car, race starts, CRASH! OVERSTEER! SLIDE! FIRE! EXPLOSION! Then some bloke with expensive thumbs won.
Anyhoo, what should Button spend his money on?

Monsanto Company (NYSE:MON) and Evogene Ltd. (TASE: EVGN) announced today a one-year extension to their five-year research and development collaboration focused on identifying key plant genes related to yield, environmental stress and fertilizer utilization in corn, soybean, cotton and canola. The companies recently announced the successful completion of the collaboration's third year.
The collaboration's gene discovery activities to date have been based on Evogene's ATHLETETM computational technology. As part of the extension, Evogene will add its Gene2ProductTM computational technologies to its gene discovery program, offering an additional approach for enhancing trait efficacy and the development of candidate genes identified under the collaboration.
Ofer Haviv, Evogene's President and CEO stated, "We are delighted by this extension of our joint work with Monsanto and in particular with the addition of our Gene2Product computational technologies. We expect that by bringing together Monsanto's development expertise and these new Evogene technologies, in addition to those already utilized in the collaboration, the companies will be able to further address some of the key challenges that the seed industry is facing in the discovery and development process for biotechnology products in agriculture".
"Continued agricultural innovation is the key to meeting growing global demand, which is why productive collaborations like this one are critical," added Bob Reiter, Vice President and Global Lead of Biotechnology for Monsanto Company. "By combining Evogene's innovative gene discovery technologies with Monsanto's trait development expertise, we'll ultimately be able to better deliver products to help farmers increase their productivity".
Additional terms of the collaboration include:
As part of the original agreement, Monsanto agreed, via a put option exercisable by Evogene, to invest $12 million toward additional equity in Evogene. This arrangement remains in place under a new put option that is exercisable at $12 per share at a later date.

Renovations VOTE
Extending a 1930s bungalow. Architect Zoran Baros has pushed the
capacity of a 1930s bungalow in Preston to its limits through a programme of
extension and remodelling that renders the original house barely
recognisable. Zoran and Sandra Bilsborrow, keen to stay in their leafy
suburb that was handily close to family, have increased the floor area of
the bungalow by 150 per cent. VOTE

A British electrical retail company issued an apology after making job candidates go through a not-so-groovy interview process.
Recent university graduate Alan Bacon told British media Currys employees forced him and nine others to dance to a Daft Punk song during a group job interview for a sales position. Bacon described the experience to BBC. (Via Daily Mirror)
"I and nine other job applicants were taken to a back room and we were, after some short introductions, were made to dance with each other as a part of the job process … They were being quite serious." (Via BBC)
Interesting, because dancing to Daft Punk looks like so much fun in the videos. (Via Columbia Records / YouTube / DaftPunkVEVO)
But Bacon said he and the other applicants weren't amused, saying the experience was degrading and he felt uncomfortable doing "rubbish robotics" a lot like Ricky Gervais' character David Brent in the original version of "The Office." That looks … sad. (Via Daily Mail, BBC)
What's worse is that the company reportedly called Bacon after the interview and said he didn't get the job.
The Independent reports the rejection came after Bacon applied for more than 300 jobs in hopes of finding work. Currys later issued a statement, saying the dance-a-thon was a team-building exercise and not a part of its actually recruitment process.
"We are very sorry to those interviewees impacted on this occasion and would like to invite them back to attend an official interview where they will be given a proper opportunity to demonstrate how they can contribute to our business."
Bacon declined the offer for a repeat interview.

Greetings, People of the Forum
Recently I have been developing a bit on Dagon (the open source variant), and would like to announce the main attraction of this Topic: Dagon's newly grown persistence system. In short, it is an attempt to implement saving and loading at the engine level, to allow all games developed with Dagon to benefit from the system. All the details are available at Dagon's GitHub Wiki, details I highly encourage you to read up on so you can unleash the system on your own spawn of Dagon (read: I would like you to test it with your games). So far it has been tested to (mostly ) great success with Seclusion: Islesbury. Feature requests and, inevitably, bug reports are wholeheartedly welcome! - although I invite you to indulge in such activities either under Issues in the GitHub repo or in new topics here in this forum, for the simple reason that it is more convenient to track and reply to specifics on new features and bugs that way.
That's all for now,-Benjamin
Awesome job, Benjamin! This is looking so cool
Great job, Benjamin! It works great in Seclusion. I hope more people test it.
Also thanks for the document. Should make things easier.
Thanks Civan and Agustín, you are both too kind A rather big change to the save files is in the works btw. I'm trying to make the save files more resistant to script changes, so Dagon developers don't have to worry so much about updating their games after they have been released. With this change, adding new or moving existing objects around in the scripts will no longer invalidate save files. From now on, only renaming Lua variables will invalidate save files.
Ooh, that sounds even nicer. Should make things even easier.
Benjamin, I've been following your changes and am really impressed. Thank you for putting so much work into this. As soon as I'm able, I'll download the new version and try it out with Adamantus.
Glorious! Do tell me if you need any help adapting Adamantus to the system.
Benjamin,I was building on Dagon version 0.6.5.1007, which was pre-Serena so I may have some editing to do. I'll download from the wiki and read over your document this weekend, then give it a try. Thanks,Cleo
Yeah... for one, sometime after 0.6.5a (Asylum teaser revision) the naming convention of folders changed. I.e. Resources/ became resources/ and so on. That's a minor change though. Fingers crossed Adamantus already roughly adheres to the rules of the document. Be sure to check the document regularly! These days revisions don't last very long.
I started to play through what I'd already assembled in Adamantus and recalled that there were other problems that I had besides having no save/load, etc. Most of these were issues due to Admantus being a more conventional adventure game --- when my game mechanics differed from Asylum's, I often had problems. I needed custom cursors for my inventory items, for instance. I relied heavily on the use of overlays and if two overlays were open on the screen at the same time, one "stuck" there and could not be closed. I wanted to be able to drag patches around the screen with the mouse for puzzle pieces, but drag was not initiated. Etc.
I did do a little test area, though, and perhaps I'll drag that out to test the new features.
Yes, please do put that test area to use
Dragging around certain objects like images doesn't sound like too specific a use case, so feel free to "formally" make a feature request for it here in the Dagon category, perhaps describing the feature in greater detail - depending on what you have in mind.

In reading Deuteronomy and the story of the children of Israel and how God was trying to mold and shape them into the people He wanted them to be, I was struck by God's reason for testing them. As you remember in the Bible, the children of Israel wandered for 40 years. God provided for them the whole way and most of the time, they ended up complaining about their circumstances. Deuteronomy 8:2 says, "Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands."
Ever wonder why we are tested? This verse clearly outlines the reason--God tests us to know our heart.
Nine years ago when I left WAPT, I was at a low point in my life. I called my mother to complain and cry about it all and she gave me some great advice---"Learn why God has brought this test your way and learn the lesson quickly. Don't be like the children of Israel and wander in this desert for 40 years when you could easily come out of it much sooner. Learn the lesson and move on!" How right she was.
Now when I see a test headed my way, I ask God to teach me what I'm supposed to learn and help me get it right the first time. He provides for us through the trials and He is proud of us when we shorten our time in the desert.

From Infoworld - Microsoft Windows (including Windows XP Embedded SP2) earns Common Criteria certification.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition with Service Pack 1; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1; and Windows Datacenter Edition with Service Pack 1 have achieved Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Level 4, Augmented with ALC_FLR.3 certification, said Mario Juarez, senior product manager in the Security Technology Unit at Microsoft. The certification is more commonly known as EAL 4+, with the "+" denoting the addition of the ALC_FLR.3 certification, he said.
The highest level of the Common Criteria certification is EAL 7. Other Windows software that has been rated EAL 4+ includes Windows Server 2003 Certificate Server, Certificate Issuing and Management Components (Security Level 3 Protection Profile, Version 1.0); Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2; and Windows XP Embedded with Service Pack 2.
Now that Windows XP Embedded is Common Criteria certified does this change your perception of building secure embedded devices using Windows XP Embedded?

Well, my last thread here went completely unanswered, though luckily I think I've managed to solve that issue.
Here's a new one that I've begun to notice more and more, though:
Even though I've purchased a brand new Mac Mini, configured with the 2.66ghz processor, and have a clean install of Snow Leopard with the upgraded Photoshop CS4, the cursor lags behind the pen when I draw.
If I drag my pen across the screen using an average speed, the line it draws lags behind by about 1-2cm. Imo, that's a lot.
What are some of your average input lag lenghts, I wonder?
(And if anyone has any better way of measuring it than length, please let me know.)
EDIT: Also added a brush stroke test that I'm annoyed about. When I draw fast, the ends of the size pressure sensitive brushes end up looking sharp like below. Now, I don't really believe that I lift off that evenly at the end of each stroke. I think what I'm seeing is a generic linear fade out of pressure, because the Cintiq software simply can't keep up. Does anyone else have this?

Seniors sometimes lag other age groups in taking up the latest technology. AARP aims to change that with its new RealPad tablet.
The $189 device, announced at an AARP convention in San Diego on Thursday, includes larger text and icons, one-click troubleshooting, 24/7 tech support and built in video tutorials – all tailored to make it easy to use for seniors.
"We are filling a gap in the lives of 70 million Americans who are 50 and over who are not really digitally connected," said Steve Cone, executive vice president of membership for AARP.
Though the RealPad is a first of its kind technology product from AARP, it is not the first mobile gadget designed for older consumers.
For years, San Diego's GreatCall has sold the big-button Jitterbug mobile phones. It also has large font smartphones with features such as access to live chats with nurses, built-in fall/safety alarms and medication reminders, among other services.
"The tablet is different from the phone because it doesn't have the communication capability that a phone does," said David Inns, chief executive of GreatCall. "One of things we found is live help — not just customer service help but real help – is very important to the older consumer."
San Diego's Independa also offers an easy-to-use technology platform for seniors, as well as for home health care providers and senior living communities. Services include video chat, medication reminders, sensor monitoring, among others.
Independa uses a tablet to deliver its technology. But Chief Executive Kian Saneii said the TV is the best device to help the elderly stay independent. Independa has partnered with LG – an investor in the company – to embed its technology in certain LG TV models. Independa also is coming out with a set-top box that will allow seniors to keep their current TVs.
"We have a tablet we introduced two years ago," said Saneii. "We are very proud of it. But the Holy Grail is the TV. The two technologies that you can always count on for this senior demographic, which we are all looking to assist from a distance, are the phone and the TV."
AARP, which partnered with Intel on the RealPad, says technology can be intimidating for older Americans. Studies by the Pew Research Internet Project have shown that people 65 and older are much less likely to own a smartphone than the U.S. average.
"AARP understands that while technology is a wonderful thing and boomers are one of the biggest consumers of personal-tech, it still can be a daunting experience for a large majority of Americans 50-plus," said JoAnn Jenkins, chief executive of the organization. "Our members have frequently expressed that the complexity, frustration and headaches of using technology just aren't worth the trouble."
While 77 percent of Americans 65 or over own a cellphone, only 18 percent own a smartphone, according to Pew Research. That compares with 55 percent smartphone ownership for all age groups.
Pew Research also found, however, that seniors do use tablets and e-book readers at a relatively high rate compared with smartphones, with 18 percent owning one or both of these devices.
Overall, 34 percent of Americans own tablets and 24 percent own e-book readers, according to the Pew study published in April.
"For many seniors, particularly those with difficulty reading, with arthritis, with conditions like that, using a tablet or using an e-reader is simply more doable than trying to manipulate a much smaller, smartphone-type device," said Aaron Smith, senior researcher with the Pew Center's Internet Project.
Tablets have been hot products over the past couple of years, but overall demand is waning. International Data Corp. forecasts flat tablet sales in North America this year – after 25 percent year-over-year growth in 2013.
"It's obviously a very crowded space with not only Samsung and Apple but also Amazon with their comparable tablets," said Inns, the GreatCall CEO.
AARP's RealPad connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi. It also has Bluetooth. It comes with a 7.85 inch screen. An Android device, it has two cameras – one front facing and one rear facing — and runs on an Intel Atom processor. The computer chip giant has made tablets a priority this year, with a goal of getting its chips in 40 million tablets this year.
The RealPad also comes with a complimentary one-year AARP membership. It is available to pre-order at www.walmart.com/realpad. RealPads will be available for in-store purchase at Walmart stores in mid-October. Other retailers also are expected to carry the tablets.
Meanwhile, GreatCall introduced a new smartphone, the Touch3 by Samsung, at the AARP convention on Thursday. It sells for $170 with a $20 a month introductory service plan. It is available at www.greatcall.com now and is expected to roll out at retailers in October.

National Night Out and Community Safety
FCUAC creates at least one community safety event each year
When begun in 2010, the event dates were the National Night Out dates in August. A few years later the service evolved to also bring community safety to existing community event schedules.
Currently, the service has lead the creation of a community events, worked in support of community groups, and provided sponsorship funding to groups working independently. As with all services, FCUAC can also support events with maps and spatial analysis.

Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness
Begun in 2016 in response to a local resident asking if any neighbors were interested in disaster preparedness. In 2017, the service received its first grant for the effort.
The initial effort is for an area on the plateau east of Renton. A separate domain name and web site has been created for the service.
The intent is to stimulate the creation of neighborhood emergency planning.

A delicious blueberry-banana protein shake recipe to replenish your body post-workout!
Tag: healthy
Pre-Workout… Prayer?
There I was at the gym. Praying over my protein shake before my stretching regimen. Minding my own business. I had given up on the concern a long time ago that people might think I'm weird. (It's confirmed, by the way... My Mom calls it "unique.") So I was in my own little world talking to God and blaring worship music to drown out the sound of my own thoughts...
The Gift of Beauty
We represent The Kingdom! We are God's reflection! Let's celebrate each other's beauty in a healthy way.
Protein Sweet Potato Brownies
Delicious, protein-packed, guilt-free, little bites of Heaven!
Git 'er Done.
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Your Prescription: Jesus
"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple." -1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV Phew! That's a heavy scripture. I'm no Biblical scholar, but when I read that this week,… Continue reading Your Prescription: Jesus
Achieve your goal: Put the time in.
Time. We all have the same amount of it. Most of us wish we had more of it. Many of us don't want to "waste" time on things that we don't see as worthwhile. But have you ever wondered what God sees as worthy of your time?

On the internet, there is rumor of a pair of gamers that always win no matter what game they are challenged to even if you cheat. They are known as Blank because they always leave their username empty. Though revered as legends online, in reality they are actually just a pair of shut-in siblings named Sora and Shiro that have cast off the real world entirely. One day after defeating a supposed god in an online chess match, said god then ends up transporting them to a world where everything is decided through games and wagers from politics and economics to life and death. Delighted to finally live in a world well suited to their skills, the brother and sister decide to use their talent at gaming to take control of this fantastical world and one day even play a rematch against the very god that sent them there. Are you ready to play?
On paper, the idea of an entire world where everything is determined by games and gambling sounds like something out of a cheap shounen novel, but the way No Game No Life delivers on this premise is nothing sort of incredible, and much like the games themselves, that was certainly not decided by chance.
First off, I found the series use of the 10 Pledges that binds denizens of the fantasy world to the rules and rewards of the gambling system to be very intuitive, creative, and open to boundless possibilities. Murder and theft are not possible because of these decrees, but inversely almost anything can be ordered of the losing party of a game from physical possessions to even loyalties, thoughts, and memories, which just feeds the strategic and political moves made by ally and foe alike creating a tight dynamic between the games, players, and world as a whole. Whats more, these are more than just simple card games and often transcend what you would even think possible, where even a game as pedestrian as shiratori can become an intense life or death struggle. The risk and tension can be felt especially as the matches get underway.
Not that it matters much to our dual protagonists Sora and Shiro who possess such a wide range of genius and strategy that it outright boggles the mind and makes viewers heads explode. And this is one of the strongest story advantages No Game No Life has to offer over other series, its intelligent. Sora and Shiro dont just play things by ear, but instead plan ahead for everything as well as any x-factors that may arise with a strong combination of wit, skill, intuition, and reading the opponent. This allows them to stay not just three steps ahead of their opponent, but three dozen steps ahead of them. Just watching everything fall in line even against impossible odds is incredible and awe-inspiring. Light Yagami and Lelouch would be proud.
Despite all the heavy emphasis on gameplay, tactics, and how the dynamic duo intend to conquer the world, the series does not forget to include a lot of humorous cream in between the crunchy cookie story. Even with all the serious risks and consequences on the horizon, the story never quite takes itself too seriously and has a lot of fun at the cast members expense such as Stephanies unfortunate mishaps during the games, Sora and Shiros awkward codependence with each other, or even just Soras perverted mind what with the constant bath scenes that pop up. Heck, when you get down to it, the whole universe of this series is pretty outlandish, and thats just what makes it so fun to play in.
What I really loved about the characters of No Game No Life was that they all had some unique little facet of their personalities that you just cant help but like. Granted, one of the faults was that a lot of the characters pasts are not properly expanded upon past general information.
Sora and Shiro form an inseparable bond, so much so that they practically fall apart if they are not within viewing distance of each other. At first I saw their hikikomori lifestyles as an indication that they just failed at life, but after seeing them kick ass with IQs that make Einstein look like average Joe, it became apparent that they did not fail at life, but rather that life failed at them. But in the world of Disboard the two of them finally found a place where they belong and can utilize their talents to the fullest. Sora may be a pervert and Shiro may have jealously issues, but their trust in each other is amazing and I have no doubts that nothing could stand against them when they are together.
However, Sora and Shiro are still slackers and slobs when you get down to it, hence the need for their life support aid in Stephanie Dola. She is the granddaughter of the former King of Elkia and later the administrative leader when it becomes apparent that Sora and Shiro have no interest in the red tape of politics. Shes gullible and easily taken for a ride by most of the cast, but she still possesses a wide array of knowledge and intelligence herself in spite of what Sora and Shiro think of her. Though riddled with doubts over their impact in her world, she has faith in the two of them and strives to protect her country as her grandfather did.
Expanding beyond the human race we have Jibril from the angel-like but destructive Flugel race. Despite possessing a penchant for razing entire cities to the ground, the 10 Pledges pretty much shut down her war capabilities and instead found solace in collecting knowledge. She is equal parts ruthless sadist and shameless scholar but knows how to give respect when someone has earned it.
Waiting in the roster we have Kurami and Fil. While Kurami is another human player, her friend and ally Fil is actually from the magically adept elf race. Kurami is cold and rather closed-hearted while Fil is more affectionate and caring. Though initially seen as obstacles in Sora and Shiros plans, their objectives are more pure than they come across and aim to fight for peace and survival in their own way.
In addition to the smart story, No Game No Life has another crowning achievement in its art, setting, and world building. Not only are the characters unique and well designed, but the world of Disboard is in of itself a truly amazing piece of art that provides such an expansive universe waiting to be explored. From curving mountains, to urban Shinto cities, to towers that are literally chess pieces, each land of the 16 races has something wonderful and visually captivating. Whats more, in the 12 episodes of the series, only 25% of the lands were shown, meaning weve only seen the tip of the iceberg with where this series can take us, making me all the more hopeful for a second season.

Success Equals Niceness
By Scott Shaw
If you look around your life at the people you have the chance to interact with you will quickly see that one thing is very clear, those who have achieved success are very nice and giving people, those who have not are just the opposite.
In life, we have been presented with the opportunity to grow and reach for our dreams. Particularly those of us who are blessed enough to live in the Western World and/or in advancing Asian or Middle Eastern cultures have been presented with vast opportunities to grow and to flourish. The fact is, however, this simple definition has caused many to reach for success, not achieve it, and then become angry due to their lack of accomplishment. What this oftentimes leads to is a person driven by internal frustration and rage. From this, they unleash their unhappiness onto the world.
Think about this, how many people have you known that relish in the demise of others? How many people have you known that have hurt other people? How many people have you encountered that do things like say or write untruths or self-motivate negative appraisals of another person? How many people have you known that instigate fights and/or confrontations by their words, deeds, or actions? Why do people behave in this fashion? They behave in this manner because they do not possess an inner-peace motivated by being whole, full, and successful onto themselves. Thus, they allow themselves to be driven by negative thoughts and actions based upon unfulfilled desires.
The truth is, achieving inner-peace is very easy; simply desire nothing other than what you already have and you are free. In this modern world, where everything moves at such a fast pace, however, we are all constantly bombarded with the facts of what others have achieved and how they live a grand lifestyle due to their accomplishments. They are loved and they are rewarded. What this input of information does to the individual who is not self-achieved is that it makes them want what other people have. And, it makes them lie, cheat, hurt, and steal to achieve their desired end. In fact, most people who exist in the un-successful state of mind will deny its existence even to themselves for if they were to acknowledge it then they would be internally knocked down another notch in life as they do not even possess the ability to control their own emotions and actions based upon their desires.
Many people turn to spirituality to answer their inner needs and longings. This is not a bad thing, for through spirituality people can find an inner-peace based solely in their spirit and in their mind. Thus, their needs and the desires of the material world fall away. This being stated, there is the other side of the issue; those who seek accomplished by become spiritual. Here lies one of the most demonic forms of human consciousness; people who claim spirituality when they themselves, are not whole, complete, or mentally tempered. They are not holy (wholly), they are not truly spiritual. All they are is attempting to gain accolades based upon claiming to possess some form of spiritual knowledge.
Spirituality is a training ground, it is not an end-point — it is not an accomplishment. Those who claim spirituality, (by any name or any form), and claim that they are something because of it, have completely missed the point. True spirituality teaches no ego. True spirituality teaches no desire. True spirituality teaches humbleness. True spirituality teaches faith in the greater whole. True spirituality teaches, "Do good things." What true spirituality does not teach is that you are more than anyone else or that you have something that someone/anyone else does not possess.
It is at this point where all the false-profits arise. They claim they have something to teach you or to give to you. And, as so many people are unhappy — seeking a more fulfilled life, there are always those who fall pray to the words and deeds of the individual who attempts to use spirituality as a means to gain their worldly desires.
For many who read these words they will say, "I would never fall prey to that type of person." That is good. But, look around you, the various forms of spirituality are everywhere. Churches, temples, mosques, ashrams, and monasteries have continued to flourish across the globe. That is not a bad thing. It provides people with the opportunity to focus their faith and develop their inner spirituality. As they are formalized, (though by no means a perfect representations of divine consciousness), they are at least held to a system of checks and balances. And, as the world has become smaller and smaller and as information can be researched and disseminated via the internet quite easily, those who are faulty in their representation of divine consciousness are more easily found out.
Throughout my entire life, as I have spent much of it interacting with those on the Spiritual Path, I have frequently encountered individuals who have claimed spirituality but were far from it. And, these people have crossed all the boundaries of faiths and proclaimed spiritual relevance. This fact is, however, I have more frequently encountered the true believers and those who are whole heartily seeking the truth and inner knowledge. But, they are not the ones claiming anything. They are not the ones attempting to use spirituality as a stepping stone to the MORE of life's purported offers. They seek only to become more spiritually whole and complete individuals — which from this they can go out and give back to the world.
Here lies an important point, people that truly want to give never claim they have something to give. They simply give. They claim no title nor do they seek any acknowledgment for their giving. This is Karma Yoga. There are those, on the other hand however, who are completely lost in the space of SELF. They are the first to tell you, "I am this." "I can give you that." And, most commonly, there is a price attached to their giving. But, that is not giving. That is not spirituality. That is vanity.
Does the true person of god claim that he or she can speak to the spirits for you? Does the true person of god claim that they can invoke the angels or the cosmic energies for you? Does the true person of god claim that they can tell your future? If they do, I always suggest that you ask them a question about you or your past that they have no way of knowing the answer to. Then, observe their response when they have no way to answer your question. If someone claims to have any of these powers, then they should be able to pierce the Akashic Records and know the answer to any question. But, most assuredly, they will not be able to do this.
Here lies the essence to existing in a world where we are bombarded by what we should desire and seeing those who have accomplished what we hope to accomplish — stop pretending to be anything but the truest you. See yourself for who and what you are. Know and observe where you are in life. Embrace that true you and never falsify or exaggerate any element of your being to attempt to gain something that you desire for then all that is born is the distaste of those whom you have lied to, hurt by your words or actions, charged for your services, and/or deceived by your claims of spirituality and knowledge. For by behaving in this deceitful (non-whole) manner, you have negatively altered not only your own future karma but that of all those whom you have interacted with.
Have you ever looked to the sky and asked god the question, "Why," when you were not happy with your life's circumstance? Most people have. This is a natural condition of human consciousness. But, what did you do then? Did you throw a fit at not having or not getting what you desired? Probably not. For that mindset is only practiced by those who exist on the lowest level of human consciousness. What you most probably did was to feel sorry for yourself for a moment or two and then move on with your life. That's natural! We all want what we want and we are not happy when we don't get it. But, it is us who can consciously choose to do something positive with a desire that is not fulfilled instead of letting it control our inner being and negative affect our life and the life of those we interact with.
At the beginning of this discussion I referenced the fact that the successful are commonly the nicest to all of those around them and the most willing to give and to help. But, what is success? Is it you getting everything you desire in any given moment? No, it is not. Success is being the best YOU that YOU can be at any point in your Life-Time defined by no lies, no desires, no emotions, and no hurtful thoughts, words, actions, deeds, or wishes. Success is you doing what you do in the most conscious and helpful manner possible. Never hurting, only helping. Never saying or doing anything negative no matter how you may feel in a particular moment in time.
Who are the people that are positively remember? They are the ones who gave to others, did for others. They are the ones who asked nothing for their actions and claimed no accolades. Those who are remember for hurting others, saying bad things about others, doing bad things to others, are only the despised. Those who are remember for their positive gifts to the world are never judged by the extravagance of how they lived or by the amount of money they possessed. Thus, wealth, money, and privilege are an illusion. They are not success. Success is the person who gives but never takes.
Be Successful. Be Nice. Give.

The Sider Center is launching a new program this fall: New Copernican Empowerment Dialogues.
New Copernicans are those who embrace a new and emerging social imaginary that is post-Enlightenment and post-secular in its ethos. Carried predominately by millennials, the New Copernican perspective is both the hope for the American evangelical church and the emerging soul of American culture.
The purpose of the Sider Center's New Copernican Empowerment Dialogues is to foster and accelerate a generational transfer of leadership from boomers to millennials. These are conversations designed to empower emerging millennial leaders with the vocabulary, perspective, and respect they need to assume national institutional leadership in the next 20 years.
It is our belief that most of what is being said in the national media about millennials is both pejorative and wrong. The purpose of these dialogues is to correct this wrong. This project will involve developing fresh content, sponsoring university-based salons, and creating a national community around the New Copernican thesis. This project is being coordinated by social impact consultant and scholar John Seel.
Our first New Copernican event is a salon-style conversation with "Science Mike" McHargue in September. Stay tuned for date and venue information.
Learn more about New Copernicans by watching this video series produced by the Windrider Institute.

You know the feeling: You go to a business's Internet site, you click on web page after web page looking for a telephone number to reach a live human being and you can't find it.
It can be pretty frustrating for customers but the tactic of withholding phone numbers can save business owners thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It's a growing trend for businesses everywhere and Jacksonville University Assistant Professor of Information Management Angela Mattia said in a recent interview the trend shows no signs of slowing down. The Times-Union and Jacksonville.com are working on a story about this online development, how it impacts busineses and how it affects customers.
If you've had a recent experience as an Internet user where you unsuccessfully tried to find a phone number on an Internet site, share your experience with us. Contact staff writer Drew Dixon at (904) 359-4098 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Officials Relent, Grant Permit for Concert in Meteorite Crater ({{commentsTotal}})
The Environmental Board has decided after all to grant the go-ahead for an August 17 concert on the slopes of Estonia's best-known meteorite crater, a popular attraction on the island of Saaremaa.
The Environmental Board had withheld permission for the concert at the Kaali site, citing concerns that vulnerable species might be trampled, Saarte Hääl reported earlier this month.
Permission must be requested to hold events with more than 50 people on sites in the same environmental protection category as Kaali.
The director of the Environmental Board's western Estonia and islands department, Kaja Lotman, said the reason for the denial - after promoters had already announced the concert - was insufficient explanations in the original application. The new application meets the requirements for audience size and mobility during the concert, the Environmental Board reported.
The authority had said that overflow crowds were absolutely out of the question, and people should not be allowed to move around along the sides of the crater during the concert.
Last year saw concerts by troubadour Jaan Tätte at the same location.
The organizer's representative, Alver Sagur, had told the daily that the newspaper itself was partially responsible for having the permission turned down because it had written about the event and raised the controversy in the first place.
