Gratuitous Window Dressing, Part 2
The command line rules!
There. I feel much better. On to today's column.
If you have run the X Window System in any way shape or form, you'll have accumulated a number of interesting files in your home directory. They have names like ".Xclients", ".Xauthority", and ".xinitrc" to name a few. What are these mysterious (dare I say it again) ".X" files? Well, before I go into that, let's start by looking at the program that invariably makes use of these files, a little something called xinit.
xinit is the master program for starting your graphical desktop. Using various ".X" files, xinit will create, build and otherwise start up your X session. But wait? Isn't that the idea behind startx? Well, in a sense, yes...and no. You see, the problem with using xinit to start your X session is that it is so darn complicated (or at the very least, wordy).
startx is actually just a Bourne shell front end to xinit. In fact, if you take a look through the file more /path_to/startx, you'll find that after setting a number of variable, paths and so on, xinit is finally called to start X. That path, by the way, is pretty much always one of the following.
/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11
Remember that really boring X terminal that I had you start in the first article of this series? What you did was create an empty ".xinitrc" file with nothing but a single line that read "xterm" in it. Then, I had you type startx to bring up the X Window System. What you wound up with was a plain X terminal that you could not move, resize or modify in any way. About the only interesting thing that I can think of doing in that environment is to type something like wmaker to bring up a desktop manager so you can actually do work. But that's a pretty weird way of doing things, and I digress.
You could have used the xinit command to start that xterm as well. From a console screen, you would type this command:
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Similarly, you can start your desktop system from the command line in the same way. For instance, I could start KDE with:
xinit /usr/bin/startkde
Here is what happens when you type startx. The shell script checks for the existence of a local ".xinitrc" file. In its absence, it then looks for the system wide version. This is called simply "xinitrc" (no dot at the beginning) and is usually found at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. Your personal xinitrc file, the one that begins with a dot, can be quite simple, as in the case of the one line that said "exec xterm". The system-wide version is a bit more complex and checks for the existence of other .X files to pull into your configuration. For those of you running Red Hat, things are a tiny bit different. Your system-wide xinitrc file checks for the existence of something called "Xclients" or, its local version, ".Xclients".
In a sense, .xinitrc and .Xclients serve pretty much the same purpose. On a Red Hat system, you'll notice that in the absence of a local .Xclients file, it looks to the Xclients file (sitting at /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients). If you don't have an .Xclients file, Red Hat starts GNOME by default. That's a global setting. You can alter this behaviour (particularly if you have several users logging in to one workstation) by modifying the global Xclients file. Look for the line near the top of /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients that says "PREFERRED=". That variable is set to null right now. Change it to whatever you would prefer as the default desktop. If you wanted KDE, then that line would read as follows.
For the GNOME crowd, replace starkde with gnome-session. You rebels out there running ICE or WindowMaker...we'll get to you soon enough...in a follow-up article. Before I move on to something else, I want to mention one other X file. This one is ".wm_style" and, if you follow your global Xclients file, you'll see that it looks to something called .wm_style. This is the local user preference window manager. Just to make things extremely complicated, this is another alternative to .Xclients that allows for some free form expression. The global Xclients file looks for several variations of the window manager names. For instance, if you wanted to run WindowMaker, you could type WindowMaker, Windowmaker, WMaker or wmaker. Scan through the /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients file and you'll find the valid choices.
So, what other .X files do we have? .xserverrc defines the X server that you wish to run and is almost never used. The reason for this is that, by default, you run one and only one X server, whether it be your SVGA server, accelerated S3 server or a straight frame buffer server -- namely the one that works for your specific video card. If you don't set anything here, the system will run whatever /etc/X11/X is linked to. For instance, on the system I am using to write this article, X is linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_Mach64.
For the most part, people don't generally muck about with their X configurations once things work (more or less) pretty well -- unless, of course, they are the type of people who hang out on this corner. Nevertheless, those little .x_something or .X_something files that reside in your home directory do give you some amount of control as to just how your X environment behaves. Additionally, the .xinitrc file we talked about last week lets you make other changes even after you have finished configuring the X server with xf86config (or through the graphical install process). For example, one of the great annoyances that people run into is the misconfigured backspace key. You know...you wind up never backspacing because it adds some strange character you just can't shake.
Here's how you solve this annoyance. The easy fix is to define a new key with xmodmap, a utility designed specifically to remap keys for use under X. Let's pretend that you have a terminal session open and that your backspace key does not work. (If something is set up wrong, this is often the case.) Type the following:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 22=BackSpace'
You can also use the command to modify the behavior of your mouse. Let's say that you have a 3 button right-handed mouse, but you are left-handed. It would be really nice if you could reverse the order of the buttons. No problem. Try this.
xmodmap -e 'pointer = 3 2 1'
Suddenly, all of us right-handed people get to feel what it's like for our left-handed friends in a primarily right-handed world. If you want to put it back to what it was, change the sequence "3 2 1" back to "1 2 3", and everything will be as it was. Of course, this is not what we want to do each and every time we restart X. To make the changes permanent, add the command to your .xinitrc file just before the exec window_manager command (as discussed earlier).
We'll look at other ".X" files next time around and answer the question "what do you do when one desktop isn't enough?" We'll also start looking at different window managers and desktops and talk about their impact on the way you work and your system's limited resources. Then, I'll tell you how to override those nice defaults to make your system look like your system and yours alone.
Well, that should be enough to keep us all busy until next time. Take care everyone, and remember that a little gratuitous window dressing never hurt anyone. X needs no warning labels.

IL Indoor Roundtable: How do Wings and Knighthawks benefit from big trade?
Another blockbuster trade in the NLL. The Dawson Boys head to the defending champ Knighthawks while Paul Rabil and Jordan Hall headline the group going to Philly. Gotta say I think Rochester got better in this deal while Philadelphia is a weaker overall team now than they were yesterday. To break down the headliners: Rabil is an average NLLer and Dawson is one of the best forwards in the league and — aside from Josh Sanderson and maybe now Garrett Billings — the best passer. Throw in CP coming back this season and the Knighthawks have really bulked up for a run at back-to-backs.
STAMP: I'm inclined to agree that it looks like Rochester got the best of the deal. A few points, however. How is Rochester going to incorporate Dawson with Keogh, Powell, Hill, Point and Accursi? That's a lot of righties. Perhaps we'll see some more movement, since all of those guys are strong NLL players. Maybe Kedoh Hill plays out the back door, but the Knighthawks aren't really a transition team, so that doesn't seem like it would be putting him in the best position to contribute. As for Philly, I think they are getting four players who will be able to help them, I'm just not sure how much. To me the biggest component of the trade for them is Jordan Hall. I assume he will play offence for the Wings and I think he's a great addition to their left side, which has been a weak point for some time now.
JENNER: One would think that this is a landslide for the Hawks–in essence, they traded away Jarrett Davis and got Dan and Paul Dawson plus a first round pick in 2016! That's a STEAL! Yes, the Hawks are loaded with right handed forwards but obviously your top three are Dawson, Keough and Powell–not sure you can sub anyone else in there as you want to keep them on the floor as often as possible. We seem teams going with a youth movement all over the league, however this could be a case where the veterans get to keep their jobs. Possibly Accurssi gets the axe, Joel McReady might be on the bubble too. But the defending champs just got even scarier. The devil's advocate in me also notes that the last time Powell and Dawson were on the same NLL roster, the Blazers weren't as potent as we all thought they would be. As for the Wings–you have to feel bad for this franchise. Once the storied Silver and Black, now they have become the watering hole for any and all Americans that want to be on the East coast. Hall will give them instant offense and along side Kevin Ross, they have solid 1-2 punch. With Rabil joining, they also can now go ahead and sign Kyle Hartzell who had been sitting out. So while it looks like a fleecing, you never know what motivation can do to a player.
PILSON: That's a good point Teddy and one I was thinking about, too. Along with Sanderson, DDD and CP were supposed to make the Blazers a juggernaut. Didn't happen. And look no further than the L.A. Lakers for what messing with chemistry can do. Sure they've faced some injury woes, but the original Lake Show added some well-known vets in Howard and Nash and are worse this year. So, I wonder, will adding some veteran stars perhaps hurt the K-Hawks? Will it mess with their chemistry?
STAMP: You can't say it was Davis for the Dawsons and a first in '16. As you and I both said, Teddy, Hall is a huge piece of this trade for Philadelphia. But a lot of people like Joel White, too, and he has a chance to turn into a pretty decent box player. And Robbie Campbell could be the hidden gem for the Wings. I haven't had a chance to see much of him but several knowledgeable lacrosse folks have told me that he's an absolute stud-in-the-making on the defensive end. The issue for most of these guys was geography and that will now work out better for everyone. But unless Rabil can at least approximate his field success on the floor, this is clearly a win for Rochester…as long as they can manage those chemistry issues.
JENNER: I actually really like Robbie Campbell–was a huge fan of his when he was here with the Coquitlam Jrs. and yes, I may have short cited the fact that they had to give up all those other pieces to get the Dawsons. I guess we'll just have to wait and see–as much as many forum experts have a hate on for Rabil, he is one hell of a lacrosse player and can really add to the Wings. If he can get back to the Rabil we saw in 2010 when the Stealth won the title, he will be SCARY alongside Brodie. A lot of people aren't happy with the direction the Wings are going and I can understand their frustration over the past few years. Chemistry is a huge issue but now the Wings have Rabil, Hartzell, White, Seibald, Mundorf, Crotty, Danowski, Schiller, McGlone, Hardy, Smith, Westervelt and many others that really could comprise the US national team….so let's not cut them short so quickly.
PILSON: Still not sure about chemistry, but one thing I can tell you for sure is this: If I'm a left-handed shot named Powless or Jamieson, I just won the lacrosse lottery with Dawson on the other side of the floor to feed me the ball this year. Both guys should benefit greatly from his addition — and CPs, as well, for that matter.The assistant managing editor of the Calgary Sun, Pilson began covering the NLL when the Roughnecks started in 2000.

Instagram now has a full web feed to compliment its mobile app
Since its launch in 2010, Instagram has remained an almost entirely mobile-only experience, only recently bringing a profile page component to the web. That changed today with the now Facebook-owned company introducing a full web-based image feed, including commentating and sharing options, for viewing your photos and those of your friends from within any browser.
Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom announced the admittedly major step for his brand via its official blog, stating that it comes as the result of user demand. While the web feed mimics its in-app counterpart very closely — particularly when viewed in mobile Safari or Chrome for iOS — it most notably lacks the option to upload photos from within your browser. Systrom remarked that the feature was left out because the core of Instagram remains "about producing photos on the go, in the real world, in realtime."

A Circuit Court judge Tuesday nullified a lease agreement between Montgomery County and Montgomery County Public Schools that would give the county the right to build soccer fields on an organic farm in Potomac.
The Brickyard Soccer Field Project, headed by Montgomery County, would turn a piece of land owned by the school board and that currently houses a 30-year-old organic farm in Potomac into soccer fields.
, the legality of the county's decision to develop the soccer fields and the transparency of its actions.
Circuit Court Judge Robert Greenburg today granted a stay, halting plans for Montgomery County to take back organic farmer Nick Maravell's farm on the land, as appeals of school board decisions play out. The decision came hours after on the controversy in favor of the organic farm.
"It effectively means that the county does not have a lease until the stay is lifted," said Maravell's attorney, Jim Parsons of Rockville.
Sara Shor, an organizer with Save Nick's Organic Farm, said the Maravell family and their supporters were ecstatic with the decision.
"We're happy to have gotten exactly what we asked for, and we feel that this is a huge victory," Shor said. "We hope the county government and the board of education use their leadership to do what the citizens have said, what 30 organizations have signed on to and what the governor has now endorsed."
Maravell's rights to the land remain unclear, as he now remains without a lease or license extension. Maravell had leased the land from the school board for over 30 years. When he lost the lease to Montgomery County, the county granted him a license extension that would keep him on the property through Wednesday.
The judge's stay will not necessarily prohibit him from continuing to farm the land, Parsons said, unless Montgomery County Public Schools moves to evict him.
"The judge did not prohibit anyone from going on the land," Parsons said. "He didn't make any decision about Mr. Maravell's accessory rights and the property."
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett had no comment as of Tuesday afternoon, according to county spokesperson Donna Bigler.
Whether the county will continue with its planning studies required to send the project to the planning board is also unclear.
"We probably need to work it out with the school board," Bigler said.
Dana Tofig, spokesperson for Montgomery County Public Schools, said the board had no official reaction.
"We're not going comment on anything else to this point," Tofig said. "We need to figure out what [the decision] means to us."
He said the school board's priority was maintaining flexibility for building a school on the site.
This post was updated at 6:30 p.m. to reflect statements by Montgomery County Public Schools.

Buick Regal Electrical Problems
My 1997 Regal suddenly had no A/C fan, cooling fan or cruise control working. After 15 minutes or so, everything came back on. Now it happens every couple of days, lasting from 15 minutes to 24 hours. When they're not working, turning the fan knob on cause the headlights to go off completely even though the fan won't come on. I've had the battery and alternator checked and they're OK. Anyone have any suggestions?
bporter1 Posts: 229The electrical gremlins have struck again. Everytime it gets really cold out, I have no blower fan for the heat or the defroster. When the temp is above freezing, I have no problem. I took it to the dealer,and they said that it could be the control panel, or the blower resistor. They could not duplicate the problem because it was not cold out. Now this morning I had no blower, but this evening I did. Anybody else have this problem? I did not want the dealer to change any part and still have the problem. By the way I have 99 Regal GSE, and I am on my second climate control panel. The car has 97,450 miles. Any theories would be greatly appreciated. I fully expect to get in the car tomorrow morning and not have the blower fan not work. The dealership I took it to said to bring it in when it happens. These electrical problems I have had with this car are really giving me second thoughts about buying another GM car. This probably is my last Buick though, not very impressed with the new LaCrosse.
Without knowing how the car is wired, my first thing to my mind is a ground problem. With an older LeSabre there are a couple of ground coupling points; one is by the left driver foot in the kick panel, the other is next to the driver seat between it and the door sill. It's a box long and thin under the carpet, just where my fingertips would touch while seated in the driver seat.
That car had loss of air conditioning control (reverted to compresser engaged and defrost sometimes) and power door locks quit for a few minutes or hours...
Moisture affected the grounding connections under the carpet from snow, rain, getting in there and keeping it moist for long periods.
There is indeed a "Low Tire" reset switch. It is located with the fuses on the passenger end panel of the dash board.
With the front passenger door open:
1. Pull the fuse access panel off the end of the dash with your finger (might need a good yank).
2. Locate the red button marked "Reset".
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "On" setting, but do not start the engine. Note how the "Low Tire" indicator comes on.
4. While watching the dash indicator reach back and press and hold the reset switch. The "Low Tire" light will flash a few times, then go off after just a few seconds.
5. Release the switch when the light goes out.
6. Replace fuse access panel and close the passenger door.
It might be worth remembering this procedure as you will need to repeat it after any of your tires are removed, such as when rotating tires or doing brake work.
You're so welcome! By the way, since you don't have a owner's manual, the thought occurred to me that you may not be aware of the passenger cabin air filter. Some of us replace it once a year. The replacement is usually filthy. Anyway, if you decide to tackle the project, there are instructions in post #1281 on this board. I recently found a good price for replacement elements at speedycarparts.com, but you might have better luck shopping around.
Also, I highly recommend you inspect the condition of the engine coolant. Perhaps you have heard some of the horror stories going around about Dex-Cool (nick-named "Death-Cool"). It is touted to be good for 5 years or 150,000 miles, but many who trusted that statement have found sludge in their radiators and having to replace head gaskets at around $850. My suggestion would be to check the level in the overflow tank monthly to avoid letting air get into the cooling system, and to have the system flushed after 3 years, not five.
All the best, Ken.
I replaced my cabin air filter for the first time (have had my 99' LS a year and a half) It was so filthy I wonder if it had ever been replaced. The air inlet at the base of the windshielf sucks in all the small debris that comes off the windshield. Valvoline instant oil charged me around $44 I believe. :sick: Autozone didn't have one...but I will sure look a lot harder next time. Looked easy to put in.
rholstin Posts: 1I own a 1996 Buick Regal Gran Sport and I have been having a problem with the car shutting off automatically. Once the car is stopped I am able to turn it back on. When the car shuts off, everything else is still on (headlights, radio, dashboard lights) but the engine stops and I obviously lose power to my power breaks and steering. What would cause this?? Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have a 94 Regal that was running fine until my wife turned the
ignition switch off. It will not crank over now. It is not getting fire to
the starter solenoid. I have found out that it has an anti-theft relay
and module and think it may be the anti-theft module. The fire from the
ignition is going through the relay. I checked this with a test light. I
was also checking voltage to a yellow wire with a black stripe that
goes to anti-theft module from the anti-theft relay and the vehicle
started. I removed the test light from the circuit and it went dead. I am
taking the dash out now to try to find the anti-theft module. Would
appreciate any advice and if any one knows how to wire around the anti-theft
devices let me know.
Does your car have the chip in the ignition key?
Does the security light come on when the turn the key to "on"?
Does the security light go off after 15 seconds or so if you don't turn the key to crank?
When you crank do all the lights stay on on the dash but you get no clicks or anything when you turn the key to crank?
If you get no crank, does it act like it blinks the lights when the turn to crank for 3 times and then after that acts like there's no key or anything turned to crank? The security lights stays on for 3-4 minutes and shuts off allowing attempt to restart with clean key or new key.
Check here
If it's the wires in the column between the connector at the base and the ignition switch where the contacts touch the key, the correct two wires can be identified at the base and connected with a resistor of the appropriate value and that will fool the VATS module into thinking it always has the right key inserted!
I have two keys with the chip in them. When you go to start position you get voltage out of the ignition to the theft deterrent relay which is under the dash on the passenger side. I am told there is a theft deterrent module after the relay and before the neutral safety switch. When you turn the key on all lights work and when you try to start the engine no lights dim or go out. I have not noticed a security light.
There is not a security light on the dash. When you engage the start position nothing blinks or clicks. I went to the web site you sent me and found the anti-theft page. I then found a two wire connector under the steering column which are 2 wires one white with a black strip and the other purple with an orange covering over both of them. I unplugged and while putting the key in the start position I checked for omns at the wires and nothing. This led me to believe the tumbler was a bad. I then checked for voltage at the other side of the connector and didn't get any. Does the module send voltage to the key tumbler and somehow the chip completes the circuit when in start position? I am a mechanic but electrical has always drove me about crazy. Thanks for all the help.
I looked in the owner manual and there is nothing about a security light. There is nothing in the owner manual about a security system. I don't remember ever seeing a security light on on the dash. I have had the car almost four years. It has been very reliable until this. I am going to check and see if any one sells a vats bypass module.

Rome has apparently been forced by the current economic tight times
to part ways with riders Max Legend, Yan Dofin, and Marius Otterstad.
Team Manager and the man behind Kids On Shred Productions John Cavan
was recently quoted on shayboarder.com explaining the cuts:
"Rome like every other brand in snowboarding
has been deeply effected by these crazy economic times and although the
number of positions at our company that have fallen victim to these
times may not be as big as say a Burton or a DC when you factor in the
size of our brand it's just as tough. That goes for the team to. The
team is an extension of our marketing department and every department
at Rome felt this crunch. We had to make really hard decisions that
unfortunately really didn't come down to performance but had a lot to
do with where their contracts fell in the budget. I have gone to war
with all of these guys for two movies, almost any of our riders would
do anything thing I asked them to do, so it's been really hard. A short
answer to a question I could go on and on about is yes we had to make
some big changes to our team, Max (Legend), Yan (Dofin), and Marius
(Otterstad) are all no longer part of the pro team, it's sucked more
than any words I can type here can describe, but it's something that in
the end had to happen. We're definitely regrouping and moving forward
from here. I'll do anything for those three and it's been a hard pill
to swallow."
Rome's current pro roster includes Bjorn Leines, Eiki Helgason, LNP,
MFR, Silvia Mittermuller, Will Lavigne, John Foy, Greg Bokenkamp,
Johnny Lazzereschi, Stale Sandbech, and Johnnie Paxson.

The Postermania for riders who like to shred jumps, powder lines, rails and ledges. With Rome's Reverse-Free camber line tuned for a pure freestyle approach to the mountain and park, this profile also gives the board a natural de-cambered shape when up on edge for better edge hold and control through a turn. It also lets the rider generate more edge pressure in the tip and tail for stronger turn initiation and completion. The Postermania comes in three sizes; 150 cm, 153 cm, 156 cm. Get yours before it is too late!

Roman Sewage
In larger Roman towns, people often got sick or died from drinking water that had been contaminated with sewage. Sewage is human waste - poop or pee. When people drink water with poop in it, they can get other people's germs and get sick with dysentery or die. To fix this problem, many Roman towns built aqueducts to bring in fresh water from the hills outside of the towns. They also built public latrines and systems of sewage pipes to carry sewage out of the streets and dump it into the river. This was a big improvement on Greek sewage arrangements, where people just poured their waste into the street however they wanted.
Public latrine at Ostia (Thanks to Lynn Lichtenbaum)
There were also big public toilets that had room for lots of people at the same time (this one is from Ostia). Unlike latrines in China, in Rome people sat down to go to the bathroom.
Street drain in a Roman street
These sewers just dumped raw sewage into the river, which was better than leaving it lying around in the streets, but still did spread germs sometimes. The Romans didn't have any way of treating sewage to kill the germs, as we do today, and they didn't understand the need to do that.
Roman clay drainpipe
Some of these sewers are still being used today.
In smaller towns, though - most of the towns in the Roman Empire - there weren't any sewers, and sewage collectors came through and got the poop from each house and carried it off to sell to farmers to use as fertilizer on their fields, just like in ancient China at the same time. In small villages (where most people lived), they didn't even have outhouses, and people just walked out to the fields every morning and pooped there.
To find out more about Roman sewage, check out this book from Amazon.com or from your local library:
City, by David Macaulay (1983). A detailed description, lavishly illustrated, of the construction of a Roman town. Incredibly accurate. Highly recommended for anyone young and interested in ancient Rome.

Since monday we have been having issues specific to our Dell Latitude D510 notebooks.
One by one they have been dropping like flies (we have 20 of them).
The problem causes the laptop to hang when windows is loading and has got to the boot screen with the flag and the progress bar.
You can get into safe mode and do a system restore and that solves the problem.
We have narrowed the problem down to a windows "High Priority" update - KB929338
Is anyone else having this issue. I have blocked the update from the windows update site but I was wondering if this is a known issue and what is causing it. I looked on the Dell forums but that didn't get me anywhere.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground Review
Review Score
- PSU Review Score
- 5.5
- Avg. user review score:
- 3.3
You must be logged in to rate a game
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground is a disappointing entry in the series, especially when compared to such an innovative title as EA's skate. If you've played any game in the series before, there's no reason to pick it up again.
We like
- Nailing and linking custom tricks can be an inventive and fun experience
We dislike
- The feeling of "been there, done that" is hard to shake
- Underwhelming graphics, physics, and animation disappoint
- The video editor could have been so much more
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
The earlier titles in the Tony Hawk series were often cited for their innovation. The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater brought the sport of skateboarding into the videogame industry. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, often considered the best in the series, revolutionized the gameplay formula by adding manuals into the mix. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 added an online mode, THPS4 modernized the classic career mode found in the earlier titles, and Tony Hawk's Underground further perfected the formula by again revamping the career mode in addition to another number of solid features.
Suddenly, it seems the ideas dried up. Underground 2 was a bore, American Wasteland was garbage, and Project 8 -- while superior to the previous two -- only offered a single unique gameplay mechanic that set it apart from its predecessors. Now, with a new challenger in the form of EA's groundbreaking title 'skate,' can Tony Hawk's Proving Ground break the mold and offer an appealing skateboarding experience?
There's one thing for sure – Proving Ground is a Tony Hawk game, not a skate replica. Neversoft's Tony Hawk series, including Proving Ground, has always been an arcade-like representation of the sport of skateboarding. You'll be finding yourself jumping massive gaps with little effort, pulling off long and unrealistic lines, and plainly performing the impossible. If you prefer this to skate's realistic approach, more power to you, but it must be noted that Proving Ground is noticeably less immersive than skate partially due to this design choice.
If you've played a Hawk title in the past, you'll immediately recognize the tight control scheme, gameplay, and overall flow of the game - with one general exception. This lays in the expanded 'Nail the Trick' feature, which was first introduced in Project 8. You're now able to both 'Nail the Grab' and 'Nail the Manual' in addition to performing 'Nail the Trick' manoeuvres. The essence of these mechanics lies in total control. Activate any of them to flip, grab, and manual your board in any way possible using the natural control scheme of the left and right analog sticks. You're even able to link them together to create the ultimate line. It really is a blast once you truly get the hang of the system.
Besides nailing our sweet custom tricks, the rest of Proving Ground generally feels outdated and outdone. While we used to ignore the unrealistic physics and animation of the Tony Hawk series, after seeing both superbly represented in rival title skate, it's hard to cast a blind eye upon such issues. Examples include your skater not crouching before an ollie, or hitting a ledge and grinding from a highly unrealistic angle. These concerns aren't helped by the fact that everything in the game simply looks drab. The unremarkable environments plus the barely decent character models equal a game not up to today's standards – it falls well under the visual bar that skate set for the genre.
Oh, we can't fail to mention that development studio Neversoft seems to think that pedestrians are ghosts -- we've often witnessed the local population passing directly through such objects as an arcade machine on a sidewalk without a second thought. It is small details such as this one (also, cars look like boxes) that damages the immersion factor of Proving Ground, taking you off the skateboard and placing you directly in your living room.
There are three cities in Proving Ground: Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. Each one is connected by bridges and tunnels to create one open (if uninspired) world. Scattered across the cities are various story paths. The three different categories -- Career, Hardcore, and Rigger -- affect the type of skater you become. Perform career goals to gain and expand Nail the Trick, Grab, and Manual abilities. Rigger challenges will have you modifying the environment, creating completely new areas by adding of changing or adding objects, and climbing to previously inaccessible areas.
Hardcore skaters will be graced with the abilities to aggro kick (push faster), bowl carve, and skate check those who are in your way. It's no fun that you'll inevitably be restricted from several of the more entertaining abilities until later in the game. We preferred skate's 'start with everything and let the user learn ...

When it comes to client communications about oral health, it's as much how you say it and what you say.
Weigh clinical, radiographic evidence as well as client expectations when approaching this preventable disease.
The degree of severity of periodontal disease relates to a single tooth; a patient may have teeth that have different stages of periodontal disease. Here is an outline of the American Veterinary Dental College-approved periodontal disease classifications.
A photo tutorial on surfaces of teeth and directions in the mouth.
Clients frequently express concern about the anesthesia their dogs or cats need for professional oral evaluation and care.
The lower jaw of the cat on your exam table is displaced to the left (Photo 1). Is the mandible or maxilla fractured? Or is the mandible luxated? If so, right or left? What is the best way to diagnose and treat this problem? Can you as a general practitioner handle it, or must the case be referred to a boarded orthopedic or dental specialist?
When a dog or cat presents with lethargy or pale mucous membranes and anemia is suspected, the ultimate treatment and prognosis starts with successfully categorizing the problem.
I hung up the receiver after explaining to one of my clients why his "normally" undershot Shih Tzu's maxillary incisors needed be removed because they were penetrating the mandibular gingiva.
Creating a dental treatment plan can be frustrating. As with other veterinary disciplines, dental diagnosis and care is one-third recognition of disease, one-third understanding anatomy and medical principles, and the last third performing needed care.

The story begins in Florence, Ala, where there were 18 dogs nobody wanted.
So following a common practice at this shelter, they were piled in a chamber, one on top of the other and the gas was turned on, legally killing the unwanted dogs.
But one beagle, scared but alive, walked out of a gas chamber. It seems that Daniel was meant for more and maybe that's why he survived.
His miracle made news last November and he is currently living in Nutley. He also has been nominated for the 2012 American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards, in the category of Emerging Hero.
This award would give the beagle his own Hallmark movie detailing his story and struggle.
"The most important thing is he lives his life as a dog," said Nutley resident, Joe Dwyer, who adopted Daniel as his fifth dog. "People were offering tens of thousands of dollars for him and there were over 1,000 applicants. I didn't want to see him exploited."
Daniel is now a Nutley resident.
Steven Canfield Crowley, 31, was so inspired when he heard Daniel's story, he detailed it in a documentary with his award-winning film company Fallen Dog Films.
"People were bawling," said Crowley, who said he is a dog person as well. "I don't think the [short film] is sad but if it gets under their skin they'll join our cause."
Daniel the dog's story doesn't stop there.
The local four-legged celebrity is now the symbol of a humane reform movement that has been approved by 29 states across the country and is currently being considered by Pennsylvania's state Senate. The law has even taken on his name across the country — Daniel's Law.
While Dwyer and Crowley both explained they realize it is impossible to get every dog adopted, but what they are fighting for and what Daniel's Law wouldimplement is a humane way to euthanize dogs.
In the last few months Daniel and Dwyer have attended rallies, pet adoption events and Daniel was even given an award from Pets and Heroes in March.
"If it gets too much for him, I'm going to stop," Dwyer said. "This dog though thrives on it. He's still happy and loves life."
A public vote started this month for the Hero Dog Award and goes until the end of June. The vote will narrow down eight dog candidates at a red carpet party where the winner is picked.
Daniel could be the dog that went from a gas chamber to possibly walking the red carpet in Hollywood, on Oct. 6, at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Dwyer said,"He was meant for this."

I was 9 years old when I saw The Hustler on TV (with parental supervision). By 10 I was challenging teenagers on the beat up table at the mini golf place mom would take us to on weekends and stealing my friend's older brother's cigarette butts from his VW van ashtray. I even joined a pool club in high school, but honestly, I was never as good as my younger self. For awhile there, mom even called me Minnesota Megs.
There were countless obituaries and tributes to Mr. Newman this weekend, but none of them give him credit for starting a young girl's smoking habit and sparking in her that desire to beat all those cocky jerks who never thought she had a shot to begin with. Ah, the power of the movies.

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — Chief Tom Dietrich of the Milledgeville Fire Department recently noticed a rise in the number of rescues at the Oconee River Greenway. Since his observation, he has been working tirelessly through multiple modes of communication to various representatives in the community in an attempt to address this issue.
A brainstorming session for possible solutions to the problem is slated for 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 22 at Milledgeville City Hall. Representatives from Georgia Power, Oconee River Greenway, Milledgeville Police Department and Milledgeville Code Enforcement, along with first responders and fire rescue personnel, will be in attendance at this impertinent meeting.
"It's the first step in finding a solution," said Dietrich. "By coming together, we will be able to bounce some ideas off of each other and try to figure out what we can do to prevent people from getting stranded when the river rises."
The Oconee River Greenway is set up in a way that makes fishing, swimming and kayaking more assessable, but most people underestimate the power of the Oconee River currents, according to Dietrich.
"Even a good swimmer can't fight against the power of a current that strong," he said.
Dietrich points out that the rise in river levels have been caused by Georgia Power's hydro plants and the unusual amount of rain that the area has seen this summer.
"Normally in June and July, we are begging for rain, but this year our area experienced six weeks of rain every day," said Dietrich.
The Oconee River stretches for 220 miles from Hall County to tributaries in the Ocmulgee River. When rain hits anywhere within that 220 mile area, it is collected in the river, causing a rise in river levels and stronger currents.
Also in attendance at the meeting will be college safety representatives. According to Dietrich, most of the people who come out to enjoy the river are college students and perhaps more education on how to be safe while fishing or swimming may help.
"The students in this city are from all over and they may not be aware of proper safety measures if they are ever caught in a dangerous river current. Our hope is to educate them so that the number of rescues will decrease and they can enjoy the Greenway without having to worry about being stranded," he said.
A representative from Georgia College has agreed to attend the brainstorming session. Dietrich is still in the process of contacting officials at Georgia Military College and Central Georgia Technical College.
"We're hoping that this meeting will not only bring the problem to the surface, but will also help us find a useful and productive solution," said Dietrich.

What Is Adjustment Disorder?
Adjustment disorder is an unexpectedly strong emotional or behavioral reaction that occurs in response to an identifiable stressful life event or life change that occurred within the previous three months.
Types of Adjustment Disorder
Adjustment disorder can be acute (lasting less than six months) or chronic (lasting longer than six months). Keep in mind that the definition of adjustment disorder does not allow the symptoms to last longer than six months after the stressor has terminated. A chronic diagnosis is only allowed if the stressful event or life change is persistent. In addition to an acute and chronic diagnosis, there are six subtypes of adjustment disorder that are classified by the predominant symptoms you are experiencing. The six subtypes are:
- adjustment disorder with depressed mood
- adjustment disorder with anxiety
- adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood
- adjustment disorder with disturbance of conduct
- adjustment disorder with mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct
- unspecified adjustment disorder (problematic thinking and behavior that is not classifiable by the other adjustment disorder subtypes
What Causes Adjustment Disorder?
Adjustment disorder develops as a reaction to a stressful life event or a major life change. Events or changes that may cause you to develop adjustment disorder include:
- marital problems
- relationship problems
- divorce
- family conflict
- sexuality issues
- health problems
- death of a loved one
- unexpected catastrophes
- financial problems
- work changes
- school changes
- moving
- major life changes
- general life changes
- ongoing stressful life events
Who Is at Risk of Developing Adjustment Disorder?
Research is limited on how often adjustment disorder occurs, although it is thought to be a common condition. Children and adults of both sexes suffer from it equally, but there is no way to determine who will develop adjustment disorder in response to a stressor. Certain factors increase your susceptibility to developing the disorder. Risk factors include:
- age (adolescents may not be able to cope with stressors as well as adults)
- a lack of emotional development
- a lack of flexibility for life changes
- a lack of good coping skills
- a lack of social skills
- a lack of a support system
- past experiences
- other mental health problems
- genetic factors
- intelligence
What are the Symptoms of Adjustment Disorder?
Symptoms of adjustment disorder vary according to the subtype. You may experience one or more of the following symptoms if you have adjustment disorder:
- agitation
- anxiety
- excessive worrying
- poor concentration
- difficulty sleeping
- feeling overwhelmed
- depression
- inappropriate conduct
- avoiding family and friends
- thoughts of suicide
- suicidal behavior
- trembling or twitching
- heart palpitations
- physical complaints
How Is Adjustment Disorder Diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask you questions to determine if you meet the criteria for a diagnosis of adjustment disorder. You must meet all of the following criteria to be diagnosed with adjustment disorder:
- your symptoms must have developed within three months of the stressor
- your symptoms are more severe than would normally be expected in reaction to your stressor and is causing distress, social impairment, or occupational impairment
- your symptoms are not caused or exacerbated by another disorder
- your symptoms are not part of the normal grieving and sorrow experienced after the death of a loved one
How Is Adjustment Disorder Treated?
The goal of treatment for adjustment disorder is to relieve your symptoms and to help you develop coping skills for the future. Treatment options for adjustment disorder include:
Psychotherapeutic Counseling
Psychotherapeutic counseling helps you to identify your stressors, learn coping skills, and get support. Forms of psychotherapeutic counseling include:
- personal therapy
- stress management therapy
- cognitive behavioral therapy
- family therapy
- group therapy
Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to help relieve your symptoms while you are undergoing psychotherapeutic counseling. Medications are rarely used as a sole treatment for adjustment disorder, because they only temporarily relieve the symptoms, unlike psychotherapeutic therapy, which provides long-term or permanent relief of symptoms. Medications that might be prescribed to you include:
- antianxiety medicines
- antidepressant medicines
- antipsychotic medicines (uncommon)
- stimulants (if you are withdrawn)
Most adults respond well to treatment for adjustment disorder and have a good long-term prognosis, while adolescents may not respond as well to treatment and may develop major psychiatric illnesses.
There is no known guaranteed way to prevent adjustment disorder. You may be able to reduce your risk of developing the disorder by doing the following:
- seek support from family and friends
- talk to a healthcare professional if you start to feel stressed
- try to have a flexible attitude regarding where your life will lead
- think positively
- live a healthy lifestyle (healthy diet and exercise)

Dear Mr. Coach Art Briles,
I am writing to you about one of your kids, Lache Seastrunk. I have only gotten glimpses of him, but have found those glimpses to be intriguing, to say the least. I know that to see more of him, I'll need to get your approval first, which is the reason I am writing you today.
Let me be clear, I am not even beginning to suggest that I know more about this team, or football in general, than you do. Similar to what Vesper Lynd said to James Bond, if all that were left of you was your smile and your little finger, you'd still be a better football coach than any I have known as a Baylor student or alumnus.* I would never be so presumptuous as to give you instructions on how to run your team. A piece of constructive criticism or preference every now and again? Sure. But I'd never be so bold as to make demands.
*I know, I know, you're much more of a Texan Sean Connery James Bond than a Daniel Craig.
But, this Lache guy...he's incredible. I know you are aware of this, being much closer (both physically, socially, and pretty much every other way) to him than I. We in the younger generation have grown up playing football video games wherein you can make a player go faster by hitting the "Turbo" button. Lache doesn't have a Turbo button; he has a Fast Forward button. Or perhaps it's a Slow Motion for everybody else on the field. I'm not quite sure.
And that is why I am writing you – there's just so much about Lache that I don't know. I know that whether I get to see more of him is up to you, so I am writing you to request that you allow it. I know that he's not perfect. I know that he is a work in progress that is under your tutelage. I'm not asking for you to release him into the wild to potentially be fed to the wolves.
I'd just like to see a little bit more of him, if it's alright with you. Four times in two weeks is nice, but now I'm hooked and need more. I definitely can't go back to a Lache-free existence and last week's one chance to see him was as close to that dreadful scenario as I want to get again. Maybe we could start slowly? Maybe we could see each other 5 times next week? And then see if it turns into something more? Truthfully, I know that Lache wants me to see him, too. I'm guessing that you weren't pleased with how he went about expressing it, but how much of a flaw is it really for one of your kids to feel that they're ready for more responsibility? Whether they are ready is, of course, up to you, but I don't view it as a fault that he thinks he is ready.
I know it's always hard to see your kids go into risky situations. But I think the time has come to ease into it. It's time to start to FreeLache!
I anxiously await your response.
Warmest and best regards,
Pras/Baylor Nation
PS - If you could pass on a note to Lache for me, could you let him know I'll be in a shirt that resembles the one below.
