Regarding Game 7
Let me start off by saying that I just read Bill Simmons' "The Consequences of Caring" on Grantland and I probably wouldn't have bothered thinking about last night again if it wasn't for that article. It's a great read, but the problem with reading Bill Simmons as a Celtics fan under age 30 is he can't go three paragraphs without comparing everything to the teams from the 70's and 80's. So no matter how much the 2012 Celtics "mean" to him, or Bob Ryan, or your dad, it's a different meaning than what it means to those of us too young to have seen Larry Bird play.
Seeing as I consider myself the best sportswriter in the country under 25 (just like every other guy my age), I think it's worth taking the time to analyze exactly what the fuck is going on right now and what it all means. It'll help me sleep better tonight at the very least… because there is reason for hope. Right?
Obviously the negatives here are huge. LeBron James had what I would call the greatest basketball performance I've ever seen. He singlehandedly put his team on his back in the most pressure-filled position any player has ever found himself, ever, and simultaneously annihilated the entire city of Boston's self-confidence before the start of the third quarter. Not just the players, who couldn't buy a bucket. Not just the crowd, who couldn't have been more shocked. But everyone watching that game and rooting for the Celtics. It was like how Geraldo felt when there was nothing in Al Capone's vault, except if Geraldo had a soul.
Making it even worse was Paul Pierce having the worst game of his life. Not just career, I'm talking life. 6th Grade Paul Pierce would've been ashamed of Yesterday Paul Pierce. And if you can go home and cuddle with your Larry Bird memories to make yourself feel better, that's nice, but like I said, I don't have Larry Bird. We've been spoiled the past decade with Brady, Belichick, Manny, Papi, Garnett, Allen and Rondo, but for kids my age growing up, Pierce is the last man standing from the 90's AKA "the decade when your dad would just tell you about how much better the 80's were." To watch him put up such an offensive stinkbomb was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life.
If you're still reading obviously you don't need to hear this, but I fucking HATE people who act like sports don't matter. I can't even respect people like that. Cause as far as I can see, especially in the Boston area, sports bring us together as a community and provide us with role models and motivation more so than basically anything else. I've lost track of how many times my lazy ass has thought about Tom Brady getting drafted #199 then working his butt off to prove everyone wrong, and then hunkered down and put in the extra effort to snag an A in a class I had no business doing well in. Or Big Papi and the Sox coming back from 0-3 in 2004 when I felt like there was no way I could get something far less difficult done. And the 2008 Celtics? There's no better proof that if you're stuck in a shitty situation, if you stick with it, you might find a little bit of luck and see the whole thing turn on its head in the blink of an eye. So yeah, sports fucking matter.
Anyway, I find it remarkable that this shit is happening only four months after the Pats lost to the Giants… again. It's the same in many ways, but in other ways, it's not. It's cause the Pats, Brady and Belichick, were supposed to be the single most reliable thing in an otherwise chaotic world. Every 7 days during football season, with rare and unimportant exception, the Pats win. When they lost the first Super Bowl, a lot of my childhood illusions like true love and world peace, died. The missed chance to right the universe and restore my innocence was crushing.
But the Celtics are different. People don't expect the Celtics to win. Rooting for the Patriots is believing in the possibility of perfection. Rooting for the C's ever since 09 has been rooting against the expectations of others. Big difference. So when the C's pulled in Game 5 and shocked everyone but us, we naturally assumed that good had triumphed over evil and Game 6 would be a walkover. But it hadn't, and it wasn't.
Now, order has seemingly restored itself. LeBron is too good, the Celtics are too old, and the Heat are going to win Game 7 comfortably and go onto the Finals. And you know what? Good. That's what I want everyone to think. Because the Celtics are going to go down to Miami, and they're gonna win one of the ugliest, gutsiest games we'll ever see. Just don't tell anyone until it happens. They need to be wrong for us to prove them wrong.

Spoiled Techie
Ramblings of a Internet Giant
For those that are having a similar error to:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
Something that worked for me but was hard to figure out:
Increase the max memory. The default CF install sets it to 512 MB, if you have CF standard you can bump this to 1024 MB, with enterprise you can go beyond that, e.g.: -Xmx4096m
Found a small bug, more with the Zune software in WM7 than actual WM7 software.
The bug is as follows.
Just thought I would post for the good of the community.
I created a brand new background for WM7 and figured I would share it out. This one is interesting because its transparent when unlocking the phone for the first time. You will have to take the file and either download it to your phone from this site, or send it to your self via email. The actual background is in the Zip file. The picture is just to show you what it looks like.
Once done, just open it and "use as wallpaper".
Know issues with transparency:1. Does not work with pin lock set2. With certain apps open (like email for instance), you will see the bottom soft buttons through the wallpaper
Sea Shepherd Background
So way back when Scott Hansleman released RockScroll, I loved it. Now that I have upgraded to Visual Studio 2010, it isn't compatible. So I went searching for another one just like it. I found a tool called AllMargins and I must say its by far the best damn tool for Visual Studio! I can't get enough of it. It adds on to your scroll bar give you vast amounts of information to view right away. Its soo wonderful. Go ahead and give it a try! I sure did and love it!
Got this Error when installing and Starting up OpenFire for the first time with the new Beta release of Openfire 3.7.0.
The Error:
Could not listen on port: 5229java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(Unknown Source) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.jivesoftware.openfire.FlashCrossDomainHandler.startServer(FlashCrossDomainHandler.java:101) at org.jivesoftware.openfire.FlashCrossDomainHandler.access$000(FlashCrossDomainHandler.java:36) at org.jivesoftware.openfire.FlashCrossDomainHandler$1.run(FlashCrossDomainHandler.java:58) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
The Fix:
I had to figure out what was already bound to that Port and shut the service down.
So to figure out what port to release
Hope It helps someone
Since I couldn't find it on the internet, I decided to post it here.
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase; using ESRI.ArcGIS.DataSourcesRaster; string dtedFile = @"C:\Examples\DTED Level 2\E35\N82.DT2"; IWorkspaceFactory workspaceFactoryShape = new RasterWorkspaceFactoryClass(); IRasterWorkspace rasterWorkspace = (IRasterWorkspace)workspaceFactoryShape.OpenFromFile(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(dtedFile), 0); IRasterDataset ds = rasterWorkspace.OpenRasterDataset(System.IO.Path.GetFileName(dtedFile)); IRaster raster = ds.CreateDefaultRaster();
A few things to point out:
This code took me almost a full day to figure out. Its not easily findable on the internet. Hope it helps someone else out there.
I own a website over at http://www.Utopiapimp.com. I have well over 2 million pageviews daily and most of my users are Firefoxers or Chromers. But when I run Internet Explorer against my site I receive a few errors. Even with the brand new Internet Explorer 9 Beta, there is still a Javascript problem. I use third party tools such as Google Analytics and the Intense Debate comment system. Each third party tool also employs the same javascript file from Quantserve that I pull for my site.
This article was written with specific intent to reach the Internet Explorer Team and hope they make a fix before IE 9 comes out of Beta.
I was having trouble with a transaction log file that had unrestricted growth set. I needed to get it down to a good size without killing my disk space. So below is the script I used to shrink the transaction log after it had gone a little wild with size.
backup log 'yourdatabasename' to disk ='D:\YourdatabaseName.trn' go dbcc shrinkfile (yourdatabase_logfilename,1)
When running Team Foundation Server, I ran into a slight problem. I just finished installing TFS 2010 and while I had old code, I needed to upload that old code to TFS 2010.
So I began the process and to my dismay, the code was already mapped to another directory. So after searching around, I couldn't find anything.
So I went looking around. Under this directory, I found a version control file. After looking at it, I noticed the maps. So all I did was delete the old server maps in the config file and all seemed to work.
"C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache\VersionControl.config"
I hope this helps.
I have a website that gets thousands upon thousands of hits a day. And I use guids to identifiy everything. So I needed something to show Guids in the URLS. The best thing I found at that moment was Mads Kristensen's Shorter URL Friendly Guid.
Mads basically converts the Guid to base 64. For a small website of sorts, this isn't a bad idea. But overtime and larger websites there will be more and more Guids represented. After coming up with several errors in my site, I decided to investigate. When converting to Base64 with Guids, I started to notice some slight loss of the Guid. When I say slight, I mean one in every 2000 users had shown errors. To me this isn't acceptable by any means. One user can destroy an entire website by talking slander so I was in need of a fix.
So I threw out Mads idea and went searching for something different. Its not uncommon to still use Guids in URL's. With the Dashes and all. Microsoft, Flickr, Yahoo, Google, and some various other third party websites still use them in their URLs. But I didn't want the dashes. I wanted just the numbers and letters. Dashes could some day cause a problem, but not just numbers and letters. So I decided to get rid of the dashes. So here is the final code to use Guids as Urls.
I have a Guid extension class in C#. One method is as follows:
public static string RemoveDashes(this Guid guid) { return guid.ToString().Replace("-",""); }
This method gets called when ever I convert a Guid to a URL. Whats nice about this, is the way I convert the Guid back with dashes. No real fiddling with strings. All that needs to be done is this:
Guid guid = new Guid("c9a646d39c614cb7bfcdee2522c8f633");
And that automatically puts the dashes back into the system.

Try this crystal Pepsi! Read this Jonah Goldberg column!
I shaz you notn't. They are fluffing the lolcat bubble. I expect a glowing 3B profile shortly.
For the uninitiated, that's Web shorthand for "laugh out loud," an abbreviation that is common in e-mails, instant messages and online chat rooms.
Get the fuck out!
P.S. Although I haz a broadband connection, cheezburger fucks me pc up bigtime with all the b.s. on it. So I rarely click there. Fcukers are too greedy, or else their site just sux.
Their site is loaded with more crap than some of the wingy blogs. It's pretty bad. LOLcat bible got us a zillion hits from them, tho.
Firefox Adblock does the trick. Also, not downloading YouTube videos automatically makes my crappy DSL nearly tolerable.
How do I save a youtube to my comp if I like it? Is there a way?
Yes. Try the Google. There are a million ways. Is it of some missionaries?
Youtube has millions of ways to watch missionary?
I really would be curious what LOLcatterz thought of 3B!
It made a few heads go splodey, I'd think.
If the one lower case n is a space missionary from Kolob, then yes.
I bet there aren't a million ways. You're exaggerating.
I was explaining about Twitter over brunch the other day. Who knew I should've been writing a story for the LA times!!!
You know, this is a really good idea. I bet you would increase the number of hits on this blog if, say every Thursday, you were to post pictures of cats with amusing, misspelled captions.
In fact, I have joined the borg collective.
Friday is cat day. Thursday is half-naked day.
I have no idea what twitter is, don't want to know. But I like cats.
twitter is like setting AIM status messages, only on the web
aif I AM WRITING THAT LA TIMES ARTICLE!!!! You get your own!!!

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
FRASER, Colo. (AP) -- Authorities say a charter bus filled with more than three dozen members of a Littleton church rolled off a snowpacked roadway west of Fraser, but the few reported injuries were minor.
The Colorado State Patrol says the bus went off the side of Grand County Road 50 and came to a rest on its side in a snow drift Friday.
The bus was taking 39 people from the Foothills Bible Church to the Crooked Creek Young Life Ranch near Fraser.
The 75-year-old driver was cited for careless driving causing injury.
Investigators say neither drugs nor alcohol played a role in the crash.

Looks very Japanese. You can add any of the characters to DoA 5 and I won't recongnize.
Still looks awesome. I want to see some gameplay (and online multiplayer. Hey, a Metroid fan can dream right??).Posted: June 4, 2009 12:01 PM -
No, team ninja sucks, and this game looks bad. I know it looks cool and exciting, but one you get passed that you see that this is another shallow team ninja game with bad camera angles and pre renderd backgrounds. The FPS version of Metroid will be missed, with all of its beautiful environments and free roaming glory. Im guessing Team ninja probably begged for this and Nintendo gave them metroid because its not as big as mario or Zelda, but they should have let them make a star fox game.
Or maybe Nintendo realised that thier FPS version of metroid isnt very story heavy so they thought this would help. Trust me im all for deeper Metroid storys, cause the FPS ones do lack that, but this is gonna be a huge suck fest. Who thinks Team Ninja is good anyways?Posted: June 3, 2009 5:13 PM -
Looks awesome! Finally Samus talks, 3rd person gameplay, but looks very final fantasy in the story telling, y'know? Hopefully will be good though, finally get to dust off my wii

Hamburger and a large lemon Coke, please
Musings of a Sonoma son
Photo of Rocco Benedetto, left (proprietor of the Creamery for 28 years and also a scratch golfer) shaking hands with Sonoman John Flachman, another local golfer who was club champion at the old Sonoma Golf and Country Club.
A local group headed by Carlo Cavallo is reopening the old Sonoma Creamery at the corner of East Spain Street and First Street East.
Carlo is calling it Burgers and Vine. I like the emphasis on burgers, which were so central to the Creamery's fare during my youth in Sonoma.
Recently, in my father's cache of old Sonoma stuff, I found an original menu from the Creamery that was probably from the 1940s. A hamburger was 20 cents; add 5 cents and you got a cheeseburger. Cokes and root beers were 5 cents, a milk shake 20 cents.
You could order two eggs, ham, toast and coffee for 50 cents.
How many of you remember the Creamery's Sheep Herder? It was sort of a sundae made with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry for 30 cents.
Many days of my youth were spent hanging out at the Creamery with Jerry Benedetto, son of Creamery proprietors Rocco and Carmella Benedetto, who ran the Creamery for 28 years before selling it in 1976.
Jerry and I were best buddies and baseball teammates. We might be out playing ball or hiking Nathanson Creek during long summer days, but we'd usually end up having burgers and lemon Cokes in one of the Creamery booths that ran along the northern wall with windows facing the mission. The burgers were fried on the grill and the best I ever tasted.
Rock and Carm, as virtually everyone called them, worked the counter and the kitchen with one or two waitpersons helping out.
The best days were when Rocco was making ice cream. I especially liked the chocolate. We'd go into the back where the machine was running and get him to run some of the super creamy fresh stuff into a big cup for each of us. I can still remember the wonderful ice-cold chocolate taste and texture.
The Creamery was the lunch-and- later-afternoon hangout for many local business folks, teachers and those in city government. On any given day, you could see the mayor, police chief, high school principal and other community leaders seated at the counter sharing information and opinions about local happenings. Among the regulars, discussions and arguments could run on for days or even weeks and months.
Rock and SVHS vice-principal Chet Sharek shared cups of coffee and a long-running argument for years about who was the better baseball player, Mickey Mantle or Willie Mays. On any given afternoon, you could drop in, eavesdrop and pick up where the argument left off. I don't believe they ever decided that question.
Bill Rettle, a former Sonoma police officer who eventually became the chief, said his predecessor hired him on the spot while he was visiting Sonoma on vacation from the Midwest. Bill was having a burger at the counter when Joe Spinelli, the Sonoma police chief, sat down next to him. During the conversation, Bill told Spinelli he was a cop from another state. One word led to another and before lunch was over, Bill was offered a job as a Sonoma officer. He accepted.
That was certainly not the only business transaction conducted at the Creamery counter during those days.
It will be nice to have that old hang out open again.

Part of the challenge of the debate over the Smith-Mundt Act today is that most people don't know what the Act covers, or what "public diplomacy" is. While "public diplomacy" is liberally used by the media and pundits to apply to any activity by the government aimed at foreign audiences, the Smith-Mundt Act, however, is specific in applying only to a small part of the State Department's bureaucracy and the BBG. Recent examples may be found here.
The subject requires getting past the hyperbole and propaganda and understand the nuanced issues. This is not a all-or-nothing discussion; there is room for clarifications or changes, if required.
Below are twelve answers to three basic questions on the Smith-Mundt Act, as it exists currently, and the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012:
- What does the current Smith-Mundt Act do?
- What does the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 do?
- What does the Smith-Mundt modernization Act not do?
What does the current Smith-Mundt Act do:
1) Prevents transparency, oversight, and accountability of U.S. international broadcasting and public diplomacy by the public and the Congress as it blocks access to what the BBG and one part of the State Department says and does with taxpayer dollars.
2) Portrays U.S. public diplomacy as bad and deceitful propaganda to both U.S. and foreign audiences.
3) Creates confusion in the government over how to engage global audiences, and which part of the government may do so.
What does the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act intend to do:
4) Creates transparency so the taxpayer, and the government, can know the details of U.S. international broadcasting and public diplomacy to increase understanding, oversight, accountability of U.S. policies and programs.
5) Permits Americans – including the general public, the media, academia, and the Congress – to view taxpayer funded material intended for audiences abroad and allows the reuse or dissemination by the public, the media, academia, and the Congress.
6) Increases awareness of both the conduct and context of U.S. foreign affairs which increases understanding, oversight, and accountability of U.S. policies and programs.
7) Modernizes the Smith-Mundt Act by distinguishing between the separate leadership and activities of the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
8) Extends the Smith-Mundt Act over the entire State Department, beyond the public diplomacy side of the Office of the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (arguably a few other areas, such as Embassies, are covered as well).
What does the Modernization Act not do:
9) The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act does not remove oversight over U.S. programs that intend to understand, inform, and influence foreign audiences. It increases the opportunity for this oversight.
10) The Modernization Act does not reauthorize the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, the only government body charged with oversight over U.S. government activities that intend to understand, inform, and influence foreign audiences.
11) The Modernization Act does not remove restrictions on the Defense Department, or any other part of the U.S. government, that prevent domestic propaganda. The Smith-Mundt Act never applied to any other executive branch agency other than a part of the State Department and the BBG. In fact, the Modernization Act expands Smith-Mundt's coverage to include the entire State Department. The Defense Department, and other agencies, was and continue to be covered by other legislation.
12) The Modernization Act does not give the government a free hand to propagandize domestic audiences. The Modernization Act emphasizes existing legislation to not compete with existing media. Further, the BBG does not have the authority to use its money for domestic broadcasting.

Research suggests that watching too much pornography can inflict considerable damage on both our health and relationships.
These days, pornography isn't just found on the top shelf at the newsagent or stashed away at the back of your dad's wardrobe. Porn is everywhere. It's available via a touch of the button on your remote control or on the move through your mobile phone or tablet computer. Primarily, of course, it's online.
Consider the following according to statistics compiled by onlineschools.org, there are currently 420 million pornographic web pages. That would suggest 12 per cent of websites are pornographic. Every kind of fetish and desire (not all of them legal) is catered for, and if you don't like what your search engine throws up, more porn is only a click away.
The reason there is so much pornography out there is because men (and, increasingly, women, but that's a story for another day) love it so much. One major study, carried out by University of Sydney researchers, found that 43 per cent of 800 people surveyed started to view porn between the ages of 11 and 13, while 47 per cent said they spend between 30 minutes and three hours a day watching porn. Of these porn users, 85 per cent were male. Professor Raj Sitharthan, who led the study, said: "The reality is that porn is here to stay. What we need is a balanced view of the potential dangers of porn addiction, supported by good evidence."
As it becomes ever more accessible, porn is becoming something which more and more men just can't live without, and this 'addiction' is having a massive impact on our health.
A hidden health hazard Is porn something we can really become addicted to? Yes, according to health experts. For starters, research suggests that viewing pornography results in the release of large amounts of dopamine, a feel-good chemical that overloads the pleasure centre of the brain similar to when users take illegal drugs such as cocaine or heroin.
Surprised? Don't be. An addiction doesn't have to mean drugs, alcohol or other substances, says psychologist Dr Felix Economakis. "If my clients are engaging in some kind of persistent, compulsive dependence on a behaviour or substance and it is stopping them from getting on with their lives, then I treat this as an unwanted 'addiction'," he says. "An addiction does not have to be physiological, such as heroin, but it can be psychologically addictive or habit forming.
"With porn, some people are able to keep it to a contained level, just as some smokers can stick to five a day and not want to smoke more. Many couples will put on a porn DVD to initiate sex, but the healthy couples will soon forget about it and focus on their own sexual experience.
"Too much pornography is when innocent titillation at looking at free pornographic images on the net takes over and becomes more persistent and compulsive, and begins to intrude on other values and aspects of our health."
And as far as our sexual health is concerned, industrial levels of porn can be ruinous. Dr Economakis says: "Because of the sheer quantity of freely available content on the net, the temptation is free and easily accessible. Looking at porn can tend to stoke up the excitement centres in the limbic pathways. Once excitement is activated, a closure is needed to complete the circuit. For many, this is masturbation."
The fact that porn and masturbation go, ahem, hand in hand, is perfectly harmless. However, too much can make you behave in ways you would have otherwise thought unthinkable. Economakis says: "Some people will become quickly desensitised to the original stimulus and seek 'bigger, better, more', in order to get the same hit. This can even inadvertently drive them down a road they would never have taken in the beginning, such as investigating the more extreme fetish side of porn, or possibly even child pornography. When the brain is fixated on getting a hit, it can overlook the bigger picture and forget its values in the pursuit of closure."
Another unfortunate knock-on effect of our growing dependence on pornography is a rapid increase in incidences of erectile dysfunction in otherwise healthy men. A 2011 study carried out by Italian urologist Carlo Foresta uncovered a strong link between pornography and erectile dysfunction; 70 per cent of the male participants who suffered from the condition said they were regular porn users.
Not surprisingly, this dependence like any 'addiction' or bad habit can also lead to feelings of depression and hopelessness. A study carried out at Melbourne's Swinburne University of Technology found that, of men who spent an average of 12 hours a week looking at internet porn, more than a quarter were moderately to severely depressed, while 30 per cent had high levels of anxiety.
Click here to destroy your relationship Porn addiction is a wrecking ball to a healthy relationship. More than half the porn users surveyed by the University of Sydney were married or have a partner, and the researchers noted that excessive users often had severe social and relationship problems.
Dr Economakis says: "Porn becomes a substitute for real relationships and real needs. The brain thinks it has found an easier, cheaper short cut to getting its needs met, not realising it has lost sight of the real thing. Porn appeals to the immediate gratification aspect of the mind. With porn you don't have to seduce, coax, or stimulate your partner. You can just get what you need then switch off."
Ironically, more porn often means less sex, especially to those in a relationship. Siski Green, author of Tweetable Sex Tips (Smashwords, 2012), says: "One of the most worrying aspects of a porn addiction is that it can make you less inclined to have sex with your partner. Not because they're necessarily less attractive but because it's quicker and easier to masturbate to porn. When faced with a choice between doing something that requires a bit of effort and something that's easy, a lot of people will choose the easy option and that can lead to a lack of desire for real sex."
Green also stresses that, like any addiction, a reliance on porn will only put distance between you and your partner. "Porn addiction is likely to interfere with normal behaviour," she says. "Perhaps you sneak out of bed for secret porn sessions or you lie to your partner about it because you feel ashamed. This kind of secret keeping can only do harm. It makes you nervous, creates a feeling of disconnect with your partner, and breaks down trust."
Hours and hours of endless porn will also give you a false sense of what sex should be like, argues Green. "The most important difference isn't visual, it's mental. Porn requires actors because it's an act, it's fake. Sexual pleasure and how you express it with your face, body, and voice is unique. This is something porn doesn't portray accurately, potentially leading to confusion or disappointment when you come across a real response to sex."
Leila Collins, a counselling psychologist and lecturer at Middlesex University, adds: "Getting the stimulation from porn sites makes your relationship less powerful, because you've always got something else to rely on. If you masturbate, your sexual desires are reduced. If you rely on porn, then you don't need to rely on a loving relationship you form with somebody. You get your satisfaction from a machine."
But it's not just your lover who suffers your everyday relationships with friends and family are also at risk. Green says: "Any addiction has an effect on your day-to-day life. Your addiction, rather than you, decides how you live your life. You might find yourself spending more and more time and money to feed your habit, or you may become isolated and withdrawn, losing friends as a result."
How to unlearn what you have learned If most of the above applies to you, then don't fear you're not a lost cause. Professor Raj Sitharthan, from the University of Sydney, says: "Watching porn is a learned behaviour and we believe it can be unlearned. We are finding that people do understand that their excessive porn viewing is impacting on their lives and they want to change."
Ironically, this help could soon be found on the web. Eighty-eight per cent of the participants in Professor Sitharthan's study said that they were willing to seek professional help, but would prefer to seek it online. As a result, the Australian team is now preparing a treatment programme that will be offered online.
Relationship expert Green, meanwhile, says the first step is to 'fess up. "Like alcohol or drug addiction," she says, "you need to admit that you have a problem. You'll also need to analyse your problem; pinpoint the triggers, the underlying issues and find ways to avoid giving in. Talking things through with your partner or a counsellor is essential."
Alternatively, ask yourself if the issue isn't with you, but with the relationship you are in. Collins says: "Explore the problems rather than worrying about the habit of going on porn sites. It may be the physical, sexual relationship is not satisfactory enough, and not providing you with the stimulation you need."
No one with a rational mind is saying that watching (legal) porn is 'bad', but too much of it is undoubtedly bad for you. If it's starting to take over your life, then it may be time to seek help.

Connecting a device to the Internet brings a lot of possibilities, but also a lot of challenges. For features such as video calling, file transfer and similar, being able to connect through both professional and home router firewalls in a transparent manner is critical. Collabora is the leading source of expertise in libnice, a NAT traversal library implementing the RFC draft for Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE).
Why libnice?
One of the main hurdles with the NAT infrastructures used widely on the Internet today is to establish direct connection between two users. This is essential for tasks like VoIP, file transfers and collaborative applications. Libnice solves this problem by implementing the ICE methodology in a small and efficient C library.
How can Collabora help you with libnice?
Our engineering team can help you integrate and test libnice for your device. The biggest challenge with technologies such as NAT traversal is dealing with the huge amount of devices out there, many which doesn't implement the relevant standards in a 100% correct manner. Collabora have been deploying libnice into real world devices for a long while and can help you ensure that your device works smoothly in real world scenarios.
- Consulting assistance
Collabora team of highly experienced engineers have worked for years on VoIP and Videoconferencing, upnp and NAT traversal. We can bring this skill and competence do your product team, to ensure successful integration with your customers configurations. Learn more about our open source consulting services offers here. - Custom development
Need specific effects or features added to libnice? With our strong expertise we would be happy to provide you a quote for implementing the feature you need. Learn more about our libnice and other custom development services offers here.
Some background on Collabora and libnice
Collabora developer Dafydd Harries started the libnice project in 2006 to create the first open source library implementing the ICE specification. Libnice quickly evolved into a multi-standard-compatible library capable of replacing Google's libjingle library.
Youness Alaoui, a software developer at Collabora, is the current maintainer of libnice. He has refactored the library to provide both STUN and ICE APIs. Collabora developers made the library compatible with libjingle's ICE specification, as well as ICE Draft 19, MSN 8.x and WLM 2009 ICE specifications. Collabora also enhanced libnice to support proxies and TURN relays.
As part of our work on libnice, Collabora added igd support to the GUPnP project, which is the leading implementation of the upnp specification for linux and Unix systems.
More information
We have an interview with Youness Alaoui about his work on libnice here.
To read API documentation, download releases, or read the Libnice mailing list, refer to the project wiki. The source tree includes a TODO file, in case you want to get involved in the development of this library, or learn more about its future.

For the June Primary I asked campaigns to send in pictures of their candidate with a dog. Steven Hintz and Heather Lacayo won the contest and went on to win their elections. Is there a strong connection? Probably not.
For this election I am asking candidates to take pictures of their signs as they campaign across Ventura County. I will post every entry with the winners being announced the night before the election. The goal is to make it difficult, but not impossible, for readers to determine where the picture was taken. I want readers to look at the picture for clues and then post a comment with their guesses. The more specific the guess the better.
Like all of my blog entries you don't need to register to post a comment. But please keep it classy. The reader that accurately answers the most challenges will also be recognized.
There will be several awards campaigns can win. So, campaigns can send in multiple entries. I am thinking about categories like most memorable location, most obscure, funniest, best representation of a city, and a few others. Feel free to post suggestions with new categories. I will be asking The Star to cover this contest in the print edition and with online ads. They did support the cutest dog contest with a link on the front page and I expect they will do the same this time. So start taking pictures. To submit a picture send it to me at my email address posted on the right side of this page or upload it to my Facebook page for my blog.
For this first entry let's see who can most accurately determine where Treasurer / Tax Collector candidate Steven Hintz was when it was taken. Thanks to Steven Hintz for getting this contest started.
This contest was inspired by blogger Andrew Sullivan's View from your window blog posts that have now been made into a book.

Referendum to elect Kashmiri leaders
Dr Shabir Choudhry 03 April 2006
Kashmir dispute, no doubt is a complex one, and it requires a great deal of effort, goodwill and patience to resolve it to the satisfaction of all parties to the dispute. Pakistan and India have claim to the entire State of Jammu and Kashmir, and both have suffered in pursuit of this claim. People of Kashmir, however, are the principle party to this dispute and they have suffered most in this struggle.
Whereas India and Pakistan have their teams ready to discuss and take decisions on future status of Jammu and Kashmir, we people of the State are deeply divided and unprepared. Whenever issue of representation of Kashmiri people comes up we find there is no one person or single party who can claim to represent all or majority of Kashmiris.
And this point is exploited by both governments to keep people of Jammu and Kashmir out of the dialogue process. This point is also made, and we feel embarrassed, whenever we take the issue of taking part in the process with the foreign government officials.
We are a divided lot, and we should accept this. But those Pakistani and Indian officials who rub salt in our wounds are mainly responsible for our divisions and infighting. Unlike other occupied territories Jammu and Kashmir is occupied by more than one country; and both countries for their own interest have deliberately and systematically created rifts among the Kashmiri people.
And after creating rifts and exploiting the suffering and misery of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, both parties make this as an excuse to keep people of Jammu and Kashmir out of the peace process. Both governments, right from 1947, have deliberately kept out the Kashmiri leadership out of all discussions on future of Kashmir.
In 1947/8 Sheikh Abdullah was undisputed leader of majority of Kashmiris on the Indian side of Kashmir, and on the other side of the divide Muslim Conference leaders represented the rest; and yet they were never made part of any negotiations on Kashmir. This shows that these governments are making disunity among Kashmiris as an excuse to keep the Kashmiri people out of this peace process.
India and Pakistan have policies and designs on Kashmir to suit their national interests, and in order to safeguard those interests they have their own state machinery and their puppets among the Kashmiri populace. Most of these puppets don't advance Indian or Pakistani agenda because of any ideology but because of their personal interest. These people are called opportunists, some even call them traitors, and are found in most societies.
These people help forces of occupation to further their cause, and at times, create splits and mayhem when desired by the occupying authority. This leverage gives added advantage to the forces of occupation, and they can call the shots to suit their policies in that territory. History is full of incidents when these saboteurs, in name of good and honorable cause have caused problems, or even derailed the entire process which could have brought fruits of peace, stability and democracy.
Whenever issue of representation is raised both governments claim that they have 'elected' government in the area under their control. As Pakistan feels it has an edge over India through its control of both groups of APHC, and some leaders outside these alliances, they present them as 'leaders' of the Kashmiri people.
India, of course, rejects this claim as some of these 'leaders' might not even win election for local council. In any case both groups of APHC don't have any representative character, as they have no roots in Jammu, Ladakh, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit and Baltistan. They don't even have confidence of majority of people of the Valley.
As pointed out earlier even when two leaders represented the overwhelming majority of the people they were not made part of any process on Kashmir, even though meetings to resolve the Kashmir dispute were held regularly and in various parts of the world. India and Pakistan have, without our consent, assumed a role of our 'representatives', and have protected their interest in the name of Kashmiri interest.
They enjoy this situation and would not like to lose this status; and in view of this one can see that they will ensure that there is no unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir is not a good omen for India and Pakistan, as this will take away from them power and influence they have enjoyed for so many decades.
It is in our interest that our representatives are at the negotiating table, protecting Kashmiri interest; and we have to get our act together and counter their subterfuges on Kashmir. A million dollar question is how to get unity and 'elect' or select Kashmiri representatives. One suggestion is to have a referendum for the purpose of selecting Kashmiri representatives, and there seems to be support for this idea as well.
This idea is promoted by some Kashmiri leaders, and I feel they are sincere in this, but perhaps they have not given too much thought to hidden dangers. I know for sure that Pakistan will like this idea; and India could also go along with it even though there is danger that it will remind people of the promised plebiscite.
I will go as far as saying that it is a Pakistani idea, and it was discussed with me by as senior Pakistani official during my last visit to Pakistan in June 2005. The idea has apparent appeal but after a careful analysis I regard it as a 'trap'.
Since 1947 both India and Pakistan have established a political, economical and social system, which only supports those who have adhered to that system. Both parts of Kashmir for all practical purposes are controlled by India and Pakistan, and with their army and administration in place there, they have the ability to influence the outcome of any such referendum even if it is to 'elect' representatives.
And danger of this exercise is that we might end up having majority of 'pro India' and 'pro Pakistan' people on the negotiating table with legitimacy of being 'elected Kashmiri representatives'. These people have looked after Indian and Pakistani interests since 1947, and it is inconceivable that these people will look in the eyes of their political masters and defy them.
In view of this I suggest that Kashmiri leaders from all political persuasions pro India, pro Pakistan and pro independence- meet and decide who are the best people who have the ability, know how and skills to represent and protect Kashmiri interest. By this method Kashmiri leaders can select people to represent Kashmiris at the negotiating table.
Like any other community we are also divided, and I have explained why this is so; but the good thing is that we are all against division of the State of Jammu and Kashmir in any form or shape. Apart from that overwhelming majority wants peaceful resolution of the dispute; and an immediate end to human rights violations. Also all Kashmiri leaders agree that India and Pakistan cannot bilaterally decide our future, and that we must have a final say in this matter.
These positive things suggest that our divisions are exaggerated, and are encouraged to achieve desired results by some quarters as it suits them. If we want to be part of the peace process with some say then we have to tell both governments that we can decide who are the best people to represent us; and all we need from you is a facility that leaders from both sides could meet and interact with each other to build bridges of confidence and understanding.

Roland Freeman, recommended as the Bess Lomax Hawes Award recipient, was inspired by the socially conscious Depression-era photography of Gordon Parks and Roy DeCarava as well as the Farm Security Administration photographers. At age 14, he met the author/folklorist Zora Neale Hurston, who also greatly influenced his life's work. A native of Baltimore, he began photographing in the DC area in the late 1960s. In 1968, he participated in and documented the Poor People's Campaign and the Mule Train trip from Marks, MS, to the nation's capital. Even while working as a stringer for Time and Magnum Photos, including coverage as a White House photographer, his real passion throughout his career has been the documentation of Southern folk culture. In the early 1970s, Freeman co-directed the Mississippi Folklife Project for the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. That work resulted in the exhibition Mississippi Tradition and Change. Continuously since then, Freeman has been a research associate/field research photographer with the Center. His interest in craft traditions led to his documentation and collection of quilts made by African Americans long before others were taking an interest in this distinct but little-recognized artistic tradition. This work resulted in the publication of two books Something to Keep You Warm and A Communion of the Spirits: African-American Quilters, Preservers, and Their Stories. In 1990, Freeman consolidated two decades of documentation of the disappearing tradition of Baltimore street vendors, many of whom still used horse-drawn carts, for a major exhibition titled "Arabbers of Baltimore" at the Baltimore Museum of Art and the publication of a similarly titled book. Freeman consistently works in collaboration with others: for more than 30 years, folklorist Worth Long and cultural historian Bernice Johnson Reagon have been invaluable guides and partners, and he has worked closely with folklorists Glenn Hinson, Charles Camp, and Jerrilyn McGregory. Over the years, Freeman's major projects have led to four national and international touring exhibits and the publication of six widely acclaimed books.

Over the last couple of years we have been involved in local indoor flying and have built several indoor planes from plans on the internet. We have also started to carry Depron and EPP foams to supply to the local fliers for them to build them as well. This winter we are beginning to offer full laser cut kits for various designs. The first of those designs is our interpretation of the Leadfeather Yak55 from rcgroups. Now shipping, our 34" EPP Spitfire kit and coming soon, our kit of Leadfeather's 3D Delta from RCGroups.
EPP or Depron |
We are offering the following three versions:(Please note that painted planes can take about a week to ship as we don't stock all colors all the time but will do them as needed)We have been taking a limited number of Bind and Fly Yak55s to area shows for sale. Please email us for color availability and to reserve yours and check our show schedule to see where we will be next. We are sorry but these are not available for shipment due to dimensional weight costs. |
32" 9mm 1.3# EPP VersionThis is the typical version of the plane flown. It has the light weight and great handling characteristics and yet the EPP foam gives it some resilience to the bumps and less than perfect landings seen when learning new maneuvers. It is fully capable of 3D maneuvers and can be flown indoors or outdoors and yet can be toned down to be grown with and into. This is not a self-righting trainer airplane but it is a great option for learning more advanced tricks and a fun companion indoors over the winter that will move outdoors with you in spring. |
32" 6mm Depron VersionThis is the more advanced version of the plane. It has the light weight and crispness that Depron construction provides to further polish your 3D maneuvers. Like it's EPP siblings, this plane can be flown indoors or outdoors but it is a lot less forgiving to the typical bumps seen while learning. Repairs are easy with foam safe CA or tape. |
Lightweight 32" 6mm 1.3# EPP VersionThis version uses 6mm EPP foam is lighter than our 9mm EPP version and has floaty flight characteristics. The airframe builds about 25 grams lighter which in turn allows you to use a lighter motor (we used a 17g pancake style motor in our videos) and 350mah 2S batteries for an overall reduction of about 40-50 grams in flying weight. Lighter flies better. it is a whole different plane even though the parts are all the exact same layout. The carbon stiffens the wing and the plane has good characteristics. The EPP is forgiving but the thinner foam isn't as tolerant to bumps as it's 9mm sibling. This is a fun option for intermediate 3D practice indoors. |
34" EPP SpitfireThe Spitfire has always been one of my favorite planes and it never seems to get as much exposure as it deserves with the popularity of P-51 Mustangs as a model subject. We have put the ease of keylocked foam cunstruction and the simplicity of flat foamies into a well performing version of this WWII classic. With our standard completer kit below you can get unlimited vertical performance and the great profile of the elliptical wing of the Spitfire. We have remained true to the outlines of the plane while moving the hingelines to give great control in the air. As with our other models, our Spitfire instructions are supplied in paper form with the kit but are also available on the website with expanding color pictures of all the steps for clarity.The EPP Spitfire YouTube video playlist. This kit uses the Standard 9MM EPP completer below. |
Completer Packs For your one stop shopping experience we offer the motor, servos and ESC needed to finish the kit ready for your battery and receiver. |
Standard 9mm EPP or 6MM Depron completer, $34.95 each. Quantities Limited. We reserve the right to make equivalent product substitutions when availability requires. |
Lightweight 6mm EPP Completer, $44.95 each. Quantities Limited. We reserve the right to make equivalent product substitutions when availability requires. |

New Delhi: The communication and IT ministry is believed to have informed the Foreign Investments Promotion Board (FIPB) that it had no objection to Vodafone's acquisition of equity in Hutch-Essar and feels. It also says that it is the finance ministry that is better equipped to look into FDI aspects in the deal.
DoT officials say that from their view was that the deal was FDI compliant, but the ministry of finance and the FIPB are the ultimate decision makers on FDI limits in companies their breach.The FIPB is seeking clarifications from Hutchison Whampoa's Indian telecom venture HTIL, which holds a 67-per stake in Hutch-Essar along with the 15 per cent stake held by Asim Ghosh and Analjeet Singh, and other shareholders on the equity structure in the joint venture.
According to DoT officials, the communication ministry was only playing the role of a nodal ministry by issuing clarifications whenever sought, while agreeing that the finance ministry should take the final call.
DoT does not decide on FDI limit as companies raise and reduce the FDI level on their own within the permissible limits and then approach FIPB for approval or apprising. They also apprise DoT as FIPB seeks the nodal ministry's views while approving the proposal in normal cases.
The Delhi High Court has asked FIPB to wind up the scrutiny of Hutch-Essar within two months after an NGO Telecom Watchdog alleged breach of FDI norms by outgoing foreign partner Hutchison Telecom (HTIL).
In their communications to DoT, shareholders Asim Ghosh, CEO, Hutch-Essar, and Analjit Singh, who between them hold nearly 15 per cent stake in Hutch-Essar, had submitted that they have 100-per cent ownership rights over their shares in the mobile firm, besides unrestricted voting and dividend rights on these shares.
HTIL has been maintaining that FDI in Hutch-Essar is 74 per cent, out of which 52 per cent was held by it and 33 per cent by Essar and that the 15 stake of Asim Ghosh and Analjit Singh should also be factored as Indian companies, as they are separate entities and their additional stake did not belong to HTIL.
