After reaching 700 pounds, Pauline Potter has officially entered the record books as the world's heaviest woman. While I agree that beauty comes from within, being that obese is clearly detrimental to ones health, and this is a goal people should not strive to be in the Guinness Books Of World Records for. Read more on Pauline Potter, her sex life, her future goals and more below.
Pauline Potter, a 47-year-old from Sacramento, California, says she wants to lose weight so she can enjoy every day life again. Pauline had boasted that men think she is a 'sex goddess' and she has 'fantastic sex every day', but she now struggles with daily life and cannot turn over in bed or fit in her car. She wants to lose as much as 500 pounds in order to be able to go dancing, go on road trips and fit in seats at the theatre.
The world record holder, who currently weighs 643 pounds, blames her upbringing as the main reason for her size. She said that being overweight is in her genes and that as a child there was an 'overabundance' of food.
She said:
'My mom was over 400 pounds and my dad over 600. I have eight siblings all which are over 300, except one. We were just raised, that if it was happy we'd celebrate with food, if it was sad, oh you fell down and skinned your knee, here's ice-cream.'
Mrs Potter said that she has repeatedly postponed losing weight, but has decided it is now time to do something about her size as daily life is becoming very difficult and she has to rely on her son for help.
She said:
'Everything is difficult from getting dressed to taking a bath. To reaching, you know, I can't put my own socks on. As far as my daily activity I do, everything is very difficult and thank goodness I have a very good relationship with my son and he is very helpful. He helps me do anything that's difficult.'
The Californian mother tries to keep mobile by going to a warm water rehabilitation pool three to five times a week where she does laps.
But she has to use a mobility scooter to get around and can no longer get into her car.
Mrs Potter said that one of her problems is that she likes all foods, except sauerkraut and Brussels sprouts, and said she has food every one or two hours.
Mrs Potter is looking for a nutritionist and doctor to help her, but said she also has the support of her network of friends online. Mrs Potter said she regrets getting as big as she has and would not recommend her lifestyle to anyone. She says:
'I don't even know how to say, it's not fun, it's not fun at all. There is no physical freedom.'

Tomorrow the "National Championship Game" will occur between the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers. I don't have a big of an issue with the game as many people do, but clearly if Alabama wins there will be a lot of dissension among college football voters, some even acknowledging that they won't vote for Alabama to be National Champions even if they win the game. As a side note: if people hated the idea of having these two be in the title game they could have done something about it in the polls, I may be wrong but I thought Oklahoma State might have been number two in the computers it was the human polls that put Alabama back in the game.
Anyway, with all that being written, it's clear that there are bevy of draft prospects that will be drafted from both teams. Between the two starting defenses (22 players) there may be as many as 20 draft-able prospects over the next two or three drafts, which is borderline insane.
The best linemen prospects in this game, however, are all redshirt sophomores so it will be interesting to see how many, if any, declare for the 2012 nfl draft.
To start things off we'll talk about the LSU defensive line vs the Alabama offensive line and we'll have many more of these types of previews over today and tomorrow.
NFL mocks is all about draftable prospects so let's start there.
The Alabama Crimson Tide have two linemen who will receive grades between the first and second round in this draft if they decide to come out though there are whispers/reports that neither one will.
The first is versatile offensive linemen Barrett Jones (scouting report). The last time Alabama and LSU played Jones got injured early (but still played) before that though Jones shows better than anticipated athleticism against arguably the best defensive line in the country. Jones is a player who has been asked to play all along the line and has done well wherever he's played (except he hasn't played center). Jones is quicker than he often gets credit for, who really does a good job of getting to the second level to make blocks in space. At 6'5 311 pounds he doesn't have ideal size and his arm length could be criticized a bit, but a really solid player.
On the other side is the talented redshirt sophomore D.J. Fluker. Fluker has great size at 6'6 335 pounds and really plus athletic ability, he'll be in the conversation as a first round pick if he decides to wait until next year.
In the middle of the Crimson Tide line is one of the best centers in the class in Will Vlachos (scouting report). Vlacho is smart and will do a great job on Sundays making all of the calls along the offensive line. He's really short for an OL at 6'1, which is less of a problem for centers and isn't a great athlete. He is however, gritty and strong. He's hard to move off his space, but he can be taken advantage of by longer defensive linemen.
On LSU there are a tremendous trio of redshirt sophomores who could all be first round picks next year (they are that good). The first is DT Michael Brockers. Brockers is the redshirt sophomore I think is most NFL ready, even though he has things to improve on too. He's really long and lean and could even add more weight to is 6'6 306 pound frame. Brockers can play in the N.F.L. right now as a run stopper, though he has a ways to go as a pass rusher. Plays with great functional strength.
Barkevious Mingo (video of him)
Mingo has a name that sounds like it came straight from J. K. Rowlin's Harry Potter, and you could say you can see his magic on the field. Mingo is a terrific athlete who is long, lean and fluid. At 6'5 240 pounds, he doesn't yet have the size to play defensive end at the N.F.L. level, but if he decides to declare for the 2012 N.F.L. draft could easily work himself into the first round discussion with his physical abilities and a down pass rusher class. But he has the speed and natural pass rush abilities to likely be one of our top 15 prospects heading into the 2013 N.F.l. draft.He will often be up against D.J. Fluker
Sam Montgomery (draft breakdown video of him)
If you manage to stop Brocker and Mingo then you still have to contend with LSU most statistically productive pass rusher Sam Montgomery. This year Montgomery has 9 sacks. Listed at 6'4 245 pounds, he's another guy who doesn't yet have the bulk to play down every play as a 43 defensive end. But is another guy who has tremendous speed and hustle. He's also done a good job of playing with leverage.He will draw Barret Jones tomorrow.
Bennie Logan DT
Just when you thought LSU had enough talented sophomores who could end up being first round picks they throw another one at you. You begin to see why they are the #1 team in the Nation. Logan is 6'3 287 pounds. He's also a redshirt sophomore and draft eligible this year.
There you have it folks if you're looking for linemen in 2012 (or sounds like maybe 2013) this is the game for you. Alabama's offensive linemen are talented and among the best in the country while on the other side of the ball LSU's defensive linemen (projected 34 OLB) are extremely talented. I don't see any scenario in which Vlachos ends up in the first round, but the other six linemen could all eventually be drafted in the first round of the 2012 or 2013 N.F.l. draft.

The Lion in the Temple
Samuel Johnson is one of the household gods around here -- others in the pantheon including Diderot and Hazlitt, of course -- so it's a pleasure to point out Jerome's "In Retrospect" essay at Critical Mass. I haven't read Bate's biography, but it sounds as if doing so ought to be a priority.
We votaries of Johnson praying to him for strength as we stumble down Grub Street often feel a kind of guilt for blogging. It is an activity that violates the First Commandment -- which I won't spell out, because if you know it, you know it, and you feel it in your bones.
In other words, writing about Samuel Johnson for Critical Mass -- writing anything for Critical Mass -- would not please the good Doctor. But no doubt he would read Critical Mass pretty regularly, even so. I like to imagine him looking down on its contributors with more compassion than disapproval.

LYRICS: Now breaking down enzymes,de-constructing codes.Forget about past times,prepare to dispose.Disintegrate patterns,abscond their growth.Inhibit reactors,divert and reload.Compose your responses,resume natural flow.Synapses are lapses,perceptive muscles.I've tried to toe the line,obeyed all the road signs,and now that I've arrived I find:That is wasn't worth it.I've carefully picked my fights,tied tongues and muffled sighs.And now that I've denied I'm found:Unruddered and Reckless.Not saying it this time,decided to go.All efforts were useless,acknowledge it so.Forget your devotions,survivals no joke.Undermine detractors,diminish their gloat.Deflect the transmission,of dueling rivals,forgive the transgressions,of human animals.I've carefully chosen sides,weighed lows against their highs,closed eyes and tried to resign myself:To Never Question.The choices that I've made,practically calculate,the safe route from A to B has left me:An Unfettered Recluse,Who's seen 10,000 things,charred fields abandoned dreams,uprooted themes and half planned schemeshave left me:Unruddered and Reckless.

I try to save the drama for the music.
I will break the rules and then I'll go and make my own.Follow endless question marks do they lead back to home.I felt a fall the world was small and not quite what it seemed.Nobody knows nor have they chosen, are we really free?I will follow tangents until their logical end.Nothing is forbidden there is no such thing as sin.A different world per pair of eyes with nothing that's certain,be led by change yet keep your name forget your restrictions.I will shed the thinking that has let me come to this.Recreate sensations one should never come to miss.Untangle knots you tied yourself release them from your grasp,refresh the strands genetic brand and face the thwarted flesh.Free from the name.Free from the game.Free from the rain,and the frozen,Freed from the pain:And the poison.Refresh the page,Resurrect your fate,Break from the chains.look at your face:And accept the stains.Freed from restraints,freed from the gaze,his dictatory ways,we're finally free,to exist naturally,however mess that could be:Commence The Thawing!

back in America
But honestly, haven't had that much trouble with reverse culture shock. The conveniences of modern USA are pretty nice. I'm not going to miss activities like having to wash my clothes by hand, and showering with a bucket of water and a ladle. There are things I will miss. The Philippines is a beautiful country. The people I lived and worked with were all wonderfully friendly. But like Dorothy said, "There's no place like home."
The 'Peace Corps experience' is vastly different from 20 years ago and vastly different from country to country and even between sites within a country. I was in a rural area that is rapidly modernizing. But even with conveniences like regular access to internet there remain plenty of hardships both psychological and physical. I'm not sure about the long-term sustainability of any of my projects themselves. Too often environmental work can seem like just a drop in an ocean of issues. However, I am sure that I built some great relationships, influenced a number of people to think/live/work a little differently, and helped strengthen the global sense of community that ties us together as human beings. Would I do another 2 years? No, I'm ready for the next step in my life and career. But would I go back and change my mind about going? Absolutely not.

At WrestleMania XXX, the longest reigning Divas Champion of all time, AJ Lee, puts her title on the line against 13 challengers in the Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational. After much confusion following the announcement, this match has been announced as a one-fall to a finish contest.
Andrew's Take: I think having every Diva on the show is good, but not at the expense of the product being watered down even more. Rosa Mendes, Eva Marie, Aksana and Alicia Fox being added to the Divas Championship match after they were either jobbed out every single week or not even used on TV is just plain wrong. The Bellas would be a top pick to win the championship. However, on the other hand, I would be okay with AJ Lee retaining her title. She would, and probably will, retain in a heel type manner. Either by a sneak attack or a sneak pin that has her barely escape the match.
Andrew's Prediction: AJ Lee retains!
Stephen's Take: This looks to be just about every Diva on the roster gunning for AJ's title. This could be a good way to show that AJ is in fact the most dominant Divas Champion that we've seen, or a way to get the title off her. I am leaning towards the latter. There are names in this, whatever you want to call it, that aren't winning the title. Aksana, Alicia Fox, Eva Marie, Rosa Mendes, heck maybe even Vickie Guerrero shows up in this. Have they even explained what the match entails? That's what makes this match confusing. How do you win?
If I'm going with some options as to who will win. I want to say AJ retains the title, but I really believe some gal of the Total Divas variety wins it. I want to go with a dark horse pick in Summer Rae. She's the "newest" member of that show, and I would believe that would be a good storyline for the show. Yes, Total Divas is that scripted. Sorry to spoil it. But I could see Tamina getting a win and she gets the title. Even the Bella Twins look to be strong names to consider. So it should be a fun match in the evening and I'm not sure if it ends up on the main card or possibly on the Pre-Show.
Stephen's Prediction: AJ Retains the title
Mike's Take: If there was any way for them to book this match where I would think AJ has a chance, this is it. The one-fall stipulation, with 14 girls in the ring, makes it very easy to envision Nikki and Brie turning on each other, Naomi and Cameron turning on each other, and the continuation of Natalya and Summer Rae's feud. With those six taken out of the way, AJ could lock the Black Widow on any of the remaining participants and pick up the win.
That being said, it won't happen. The belt is destined for a Total Diva, with Naomi and Nikki Bella are front-runners for the title. A few months ago, I would go with Naomi, but after she missed time with an injury, Nikki seemed to become the Diva in the spotlight.
Mike's Prediction: Nikki Bella wins the Divas Championship

Russian Rights Activists Refuse to Comply with NGO Law
MOSCOW, July 22 (RIA Novosti)
Related News
Russia's two largest rights organizations will not comply with the law that classes them as "foreign agents," the NGO's heads said just hours after President Vladimir Putin signed the controversial bill.
Putin signed on Saturday a law forcing non-government organizations engaged in political activity with foreign financing to be branded as "foreign agents."
"It is ridiculous to think that we would reject foreign donations…It is not because it is hard to raise money in Russia, though we try and will try to do it, but because we don't see it as a crime to receive grants from legal foreign organizations," Oleg Orlov, the head of Russia's Memorial Rights Activist Center, told RIA Novosti.
The Memorial will not register as a foreign agent, Orlov said, adding that the NGO "will make all the possible steps against this discriminatory practice" since it is "humiliating and stupid to go and register yourself as foreign agent."
Another prominent Russian human rights activist, Lev Ponomaryov, of the For Human Rights organization, said that the new legislation "violated a number of international agreements that Russia had signed."
Ponomaryov did not rule out that he would go to the Constitutional Court and to the European Court on Human Rights if he was brought to justice for non-compliance with the law.
Under the new legislation, NGOs would have to publish a biannual report on their activities and carry out an annual financial audit. Failure to comply with the law could result in four-year jail sentences and/or fines of up to 300,000 rubles ($9,200).

European Kangaroo Court of Human Rights! Nice easy money for the parasites.
- jg(no title)02:40, 23/07/2012As Russia is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, the Russian government have already agreed to "give a shit" about the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights.Reply | Comments: 1Expand branch
- gunshipdemocracyha ha traitors and spies reaction01:42, 22/07/2012was exactly what one is expected from foreign founded V-column. Where those zionist puppets were when Russians were dying during Yeltsin times? criminals like Xodorkovsky or Berezovsky were pillaging Russia?

- severnayazemlyaTax NGOs, a lot!02:42, 22/07/2012All of these MGOs are parasites. They are "community organizers", organizing demonstrations, causing disorder. Did they physically help clean up the Krimsk flooding debris and dead animals?
No, they prefer venues like the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg where they can stay in comfortable hotels and dine in gourmet restaurants.
- kunosouraActivist criminals06:26, 22/07/2012Don*t let criminals like the PMANE, funded by US NGOs in India to attack Kudankulam Power Station continue to operate in defiance of law. Rule by mob violence, India, Syria, et al has to stop. NOW. Put them in prison.

All a pack of miserable sewer rats that was put together by evil alien forces.
Civil disobedience is still disobedience i say...give them 2 years in a forced labor camp fabricating bricks 16 hours a day.
- ArmenianZionist Jews are the enemy of Russia02:06, 23/07/2012Zionist Jews have been one of the most reliable tools that Western powers have historically exploited against the Russian state. These people have always been a cancerous presence in Russia. They are also the off-springs of genocidal criminals that brought and spread Bolshevism inside Russia.
- enzoArrogant12:16, 23/07/2012Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall. Orlov and Ponomaryov should know better!
- Mikhail1228The same law as in the US!22:27, 21/11/20121966 US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
The Russian NGO law that the media is wailing about was written virtually verbatim from the US law. How sinister and draconian that the term "foreign agents" is used. Please read on.
Some background supplied by the FEC: The goal of the 1966 US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was to "eliminate foreign intervention" in U.S. elections by establishing a series of limitations on foreign governments and nationals. In 1974, the prohibition was incorporated into the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), giving the FEC jurisdiction over its enforcement and interpretation.According to the FEC, FECA "prohibits any foreign national or government from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals or governments violate the ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment."So I guess if the Russian law is sinister and draconian so is the US law it was based upon!
- kunosouraRussian Rights Activists00:11, 22/11/2012They are not activists, they are criminals. Flagrant violation of law can never be tolerated. US Congres gave money to Mormouns to destabilize Venezuela under pretext of religion. The U.S. has attacked every country, society that couldn*t defend itself, and planned nuclear genocide of Russia at end of WW-II, Russia developed a bomb in time to save itself. Putin, develop those weapon systems quickly, don*t let the U.S., NATO et al surround you. Defend Syria.

The Senate on Monday voted 72-to-16 to confirm Judge Andre M. Davis to a seat on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is based in Richmond.
Mr. Davis's appointment to the seat has been a long time coming — nine years, to be exact. President Clinton first nominated him to the seat in October 2000, but the nomination languished in the end months of the Democratic administration. He was nominated again to the seat — which had been vacant all those years — by President Obama in early April.
Among the Republicans who voted against Mr. Davis were Senators Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, James Bunning of Kentucky, Charles Grassley of Iowa, Michael Johanns of Nebraska, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, David Vitter of Louisiana, Richard Shelby of Alabama, James DeMint of South Carolina, John Thune of South Dakota, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Pat Roberts of Kansas, John Ensign of Nevada, James Inhofe of Oklahoma, John Barrasso of Wyoming.
While Mr. Davis, 60, cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 16-3 several months ago, other judicial nominees are still waylaid — some tangled in partisan or ideological disputes about their rulings or philosophies along Republican and Democratic lines.
Next up for a circuit court vote on his confirmation may be Judge David Hamilton, whose judicial rulings in Indiana on abortion and prayer cases have made him a a target for anti-abortion groups and Republican senators. Senate Democratic leaders plan to file a procedural motion to cut off debate this week, but a vote on Mr. Hamilton isn't likely to take place until next week, after the Veterans Day recess.

Curbing Gun Violence Through Behavior Control
"Behavior is contagious," said Dr. Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of Cure Violence, in this special USA Today release on violence prevention.
"Behavior is contagious," said Dr. Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of Cure Violence, in this special USA Today release on violence prevention.
On TIME.com, Gary Slutkin, founder of Cure Violence, discusses how recognizing violence as a contagious process allows for treatment using the same methods that successfully contain other epidemic processes – interrupting transmission, and behavior and normative change.

Meet Dr Suresh Advani: India's first and best-known oncologist
READ MORE ON » Sunday ET | Smoking | polio | oncology | oncologists | nobel prize | medicine
Renowned Mumbai-based physician RD Lele remembers Suresh H Advani being denied a "house job" — the supervised clinical training session for final year MBBS students — at Mumbai's Grant Hospital. "This was in the late 60s. There were six sections [at the college] then. Five said no to him because he was handicapped. I gave him a house job and he went on to do his MD [doctor of medicine] in general medicine under my guidance."
Lele says people used the word crippled to deny him admission. Advani was struck by polio when he was eight years old which led to a paralysis of his lower limbs. Lele says he is proud of Advani. He created "special provisions" to enrol Advani as a registrar [a medical student who receives advanced training in a specialist field] because back then the guidelines didn't allow the physically challenged to occupy the position. "See, he has succeeded in life despite all the odds," Lele adds.
Breaking the Ceiling
For Advani, one of India's best oncologists who recently won the Padma Bhushan, the country's third-highest civilian award, battling odds wasn't anything new. Back in 1965, after finishing school — at that time it was the inter-college degree — he applied for admission to medicine at Grant Medical College, but was rejected. They didn't want a "crippled" person.
But he wasn't ready to give up: he wrote to the hospital authorities, ministers and others, requesting their intervention. Finally, Grant Medical College relented and he went on to pursue an MBBS as a day scholar. He had a person to help him get onto the wheelchair and he often took a cab to his parents' home in the Mumbai suburb of Ghatkopar, where he continues to live even now.
Mumbai-based veteran physician Dr Gurumukh Sainani, himself a Padma Shri awardee and who had taught Advani at Grant Medical College, recalls how the "young boy" used his powers of persuasion to convince the dean of the college to admit him to the MBBS course. "He may have had physical problems. But his mind is extremely fertile," he says, adding that he had lost count of the distinctions and awards Advani won as a student. "My colleagues and teachers were all very helpful. I never had any difficulty in my student days," says Advani.
Great Aspirations
Advani didn't have any great ambition until he was hospitalised with polio. In the 1950s there were hardly any drugs to treat the disease. But the interactions he had with doctors at a Mumbai hospital where he spent "a few months" blew his mind. "I wanted to be a doctor like them," says Advani, who went on to train himself at Royal Marsden Hospital in London after his brief stint at Mumbai's Tata Memorial Hospital after completing his MD.
By then, he had chosen a branch of medicine that wasn't seen then as sexy: oncology. "After MD, I got a job at Tata Memorial in 1974. At that time there was a lacuna in this branch [oncology] — people thought it was not really worth pursuing it," recalls the 66-year-old. Later, he travelled to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle where he says he was lucky enough to work with the likes of Dr E Donnall Thomas — known as the father of bone-marrow transplantation — who won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1990. There, he specialised in bone-marrow transplants.
Back in India
Advani is known to be the first oncologist in India to have successfully done a bone-marrow transplant. He transplanted bone marrow into a nine-year-old girl down with myeloid leukaemia from her brother. He was also a part of clinical trials to help children with lymphoblastic leukemia. Conducted on 1,200 patients, the trials helped raise success rates in treatment from 20% to 70%.

Ok , this clicks for friends business keeps coming up , and why , because its VERY relavant. People say oh no not that old thing , but then do they care anymore ?.
The voting system on EPZ is now out of date , it is no longer necessary to see how many people have clicked , who cares , what counts is comments and peoples views, empty clicks from mates are worth nowt.
Even i find myself drawn into this system when I post what i think is a great shot and it gets no votes , then you get to wondering if you post at a different time of day will u get more , then u just delete it and think maybe its not so good. At the end of the day it may have been a marvellous piece of work but it is devalued by this system.
The system of getting a reader award for 30 clicks means nothing any more , I have had a couple of highly recommendeds from Pete and they mean a whole lot more..
I think the only clicks we need now are clicks to vote wether to keep clicks or just comments.
PLease feel free to join in this discussion , its not old , its now , and it wont go away by ignoring it , lets make epz about the photos ..
1 person has said .. no clicks
and please epz if people feel strongly , can we change it ?
Andy Davies
This question may already have been answered for you. The following post was made by Pete in another thread recently:
Quote: We discussed a way to improve this which will be set in the new site build which we are calling V4 (version 4) We realise that the RC (which was intended to be recognition of outstanding photography, selected by readers as a way of offering an alternative to EC) is very much a personal click based on much more. We wouldn't want to get rid of this as it's very much part of the site, but doesn't work in quite the way many feel it should...which is why we end up with endless click debates. V4 planning is done, and work starts on the 2nd when the team get back from hols.
In answer to the original question I don't really agree that the click system is an issue. The only real danger is that you take pictures obtain clicks and no other reason which is sad as nothing really new or creative will come out of that. But that's an individuals choice to make I think.
I think Matthew's (mattw) reply sums it up pretty well. I also disagree with the suggestion that there is any burying of heads in sand about this question. What there is is a lack of consensus because not everybody sees it as a problem.
I stand by what I've said many times before:
1. Different people want differing things from the site - not everyone uses it in the same way.
2. Not everyone gets clicks from their mates, or even reciprocal clicks, so please don't assume that they're equally valueless for everyone.
3. Clicks are, at best, only an indication that people who looked at your photo liked it for whatever reason - that might be just because it was a photo of a fluffy kitten, not necessarily because it was technically perfect!
Hopefully the new feature(s) in the upcoming v4 will address some of the heartache this subject seems to cause for some members, without upsetting those who don't see any serious problems with the existing system.
Edit: also agree with David's (deviant) posting above.
For my 2p's worth Andy, I believe that much of the problem people often think 'clicks' are 'votes'; which they really are not.
A click is simply a way of show appreciation of an image - and nothing more.
There is no competition about who has the highest click count.
When I click a photo, I am saying 'I like this photograph'. I an NOT saying 'I think this photograph is better than x,y,z'

In A NutShell, Well said Mattw.
Some of the views allready are what I was expecting , there is still a long way to go before poeple actually admit the system doesnt work , and i am no newcomer myself so I understand the system well , when I first joined I was over the moon to get a click , because they were infrequent and people wrote comments aswell. Now I can get 30 clicks and 10 comments , if your going to click whats the point if you dont say why ?
Doug , I am not making assumptions on the value of clicks ,it is a plain fact that clicks are now devalued and have been for some time , the only thing that means anything is peoples views and opinions and help and advice to move forward.
I am a member of another site and on that site there are stats for pageviews , but not votes , but there are comments , and also pointers to wether someone looked at the large version of your shot or not.
I am glad there are new additions in the new version and hope it will sort out whats going on as I really would like to renew my subscription.
Mattw , to say there is no competition in the click count is wrong , that is the whole point of a scoring system , and it will always create competition. We are humans and cant help ourselves but compete if given a measure to go by.
That in itself is not a problem , but it would be like a panel of anyoldbodies judging the olympics , there could be friends , enemies , even people who had no idea about sports , how fair would that then be>?
There needs to be more to it than just clicking.
Clicks are feedback - not a scoring system. If you are looking for a scoring system and competition, then there is the gallery of excellence.
Note: I am NOT saying they are valueless - quite the oppisite actually.
Quote: We are humans and cant help ourselves but compete if given a measure to go by.
This is very true, but you need to be very carefull that the statistics support your conclusions.
Further, if you are getting 30 clicks and 10 comments (and yes, I have been getting this too recently) - then we need to ask why people are not commenting more, rather than suggesting they should be clicking less.
In any event - Pete has some ideas up his sleave - I suggest that we see what happens with V4 and go from there.
Ok I admit it, the system doesn't work. I think we should do the following:
1. Ban all other forums - there is only one truth
2. Implement a postal voting system whereby people are given a limited number of votes to cast per year
3. Limit entries to only film-based photos from professional togs. We don't want to give the voters any opportunities to vote for amateur photoshopped dross.
I think this will go a long way to fixing the system.
If you did a poll...Clicks vs. No Clicks, I am sure the answer would be "no clicks", but if you did a poll where an answer was mandatory...eg. can't log on till you've voted, in that case I am sure the response would be an overwhelming "keep clicks"
To say that an RC means nothing is outrageous, I and thousands more on this site think otherwise.
I like the click system, It is hard evidence that people are looking at my pictures, however I am not naive, I know my stuff is not good but if some members did not click my work then I would not post and if I didn't post I would not subscribe to EPZ, no loss, many would say, but it wouldn't be just me.
Eventually EPZ would consist of a band of "elite" photographers and intellectuals which is, I feel, what the "no clicks brigade would prefer.
"If it's not broke don't fix it"
Quote: Doug , I am not making assumptions on the value of clicks ,it is a plain fact that clicks are now devalued and have been for some time , the only thing that means anything is peoples views and opinions and help and advice to move forward.
My point is, that not everyone agrees with your assertion that "it is a plain fact that clicks are now devalued". I'm aware of the shortcomings in the system, but provided you understand what clicks represent (i.e. not what you think they should represent) then there isn't a problem. What does devalue them, though, is to be told that the clicks you got on your photo were only received because your mates clicked on it! That may be true in some cases, but it most certainly isn't true for everyone.
Some (not a few) members are delighted to receive clicks, and ecstatic if they get a Readers Choice. That doesn't mean that they (a) have lots of mates, or (b) are getting lots of reciprocal clicks. Conversely it doesn't necessarily mean that they're the world's greatest photographer, and those who take that meaning from an RC are, I'm sure, very much in the minority. What the present system provides is enjoyment (and yes, encouragement) for a great many members.
Is there room for some other system which provides what you (and others) are looking for? Of course there is, and that's what Pete and the team are hoping to address in the new year.
Just my own personal reason for clicking without comment.
Sometimes the comment is not required because it would be a repeat of one already made, And then there is the silent appreciation of an Image and the work that has gone into it, Without the need to add comment, And in some cases it's a time thing ( but rarely ).

Canonical rents out Ubuntu mavens
Canonical has announced a new type of support for enterprises running Ubuntu that need some extra hands-on help: the Premium Service Engineer (or PSE). A PSE Ubuntu expert would working as a single point of contact for Canonical's larger customers, becoming "virtual team members" with the company's IT staff. Canonical says PSEs …
Karmic's quite nice
Running it on my laptop and it's much nicer to use than that fast-but-buggy POS Jaunty. Just upgrading to Karmic alpha 3 resolved my sound issues, and the new KDE is n-i-c-e, and actually has a network manager that WORKS.
The only problem I have at the minute is that Skype - whether from the repository or the new beta off the Skype site - crashes GNOME constantly. But, fortunately, I have KDE to save me until that gets fixed. Now if I can just figure out how to turn off tapping on the mouse...
Intel love?
Will Karmic work on Intel chipsets, or will we be stuck with the abortion that was Jaunty's support?
Interesting about the Gnome upgrade, I wonder if that conatins proper support for multiple crseen units. Like, y'know, being able to graphically configure which screen gets the taskbars etc, not always screen 0. (I know about randr; it's a pile of crap with major features missing.)
I enjoy dicking around with Linux and there are things it does very well (security being one); but there are just so many *basic* things it does not do, or does not do in an easy/obvious way it's depressing. Until the elitist tuxtards stop polishing their pocket protectors and get down to basic feature sets that the average end-user needs, then it will remain stuck as the (stagnating?) niche OS it is today.
This lack of basic features is why I still run Windows XPsp3 Media Center at home. There is simply nothing in the Linux world that comes close to it's feature set. I am perfectly aware of Myth etc, but see my comment about screen configuration above. Can't do that, can't use is as a media centre. End of discussion.
1 week between RC and final release
Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Ubuntu and recommend it to new Linux users and also use it on the majority of my machines.
But, I can't help think that a week between the RC being released and the full release coming out is a bit short. Maybe it's just me but I have found that there tend to be a couple of annoying bugs that seem to slip through and I can't help but think that maybe if a bit more time was spent on squashing the bugs it would be much better for new users.
In our LUG we're often trying to arrange install days of the latest version of Ubuntu although we tend to find now it's worth leaving it a month or so until we're up to speed on the latest release and at least know what to expect. Last thing we want is to try and convert someone to the latest release of Ubuntu from Windows and find that it either doesn't support some hardware or it's got some annoying bug (it's rare, in most cases it works flawlessly) but it can and does happen.
Still I'm looking forward to the new release with all it's new goodies and updated packages.
Why does Ubentu need to upgrade every six months? I installed V 6.0 which was fine. V7.0 refused to remove V6.0, so I gave up & went back to Windoze. My son is a Mac* fanboi & only boots up in Ubentu when at home though.
* Struth, I could have bought four PC's for the cost of one Mac but he needs a Mac for his Uni work!
RE: Upgrade
The six month releases are supposed to fit in with the Debian (on which Ubuntu is based) release cycle. There are the options of sticking with the LTS versions of Desktop and Server which are the most stable which are released every 2 years and supported for 3 years (5 for server).
@Andy Barber
Because some people want updated software every six months.
That is definitely not for everyone (or for every situation), which is why there are long term support releases that come out roughly once every two years (so far, 6.06 in June 2006 and 8.04 in April 2008). If you'd prefer something with a longer life cycle, then perhaps look at using those?
As for doing upgrades from one distro release to the next, you can do that directly from the update manager.
@Andy Barber
Except there never was a v6.0 or a v7.0 which is probably why you had so much trouble running them.
You failed it, Andy
Good try, but this time the paycheck from RedMond will bouce ... be forewarned!
Waiting for the LTS
I run Ubuntu 8.04 on my home PC and it works great.
I've fairly much decided to stick with the LTS releases unless there is a very specific reason to move.
I play with the Live versions of the other releases to see if they work and if it would be really better than the LTS and so far I've had no reason to upgrade.
I like the 6 month cycle as it gives me a chance to keep up with the changes but for a computer I actually do work on I'm sticking with the LTS releases and like @Rob Beard I wait a month or 2 after release before doing the upgrade.
RE: Intel love?
It's not the Linux community's fault that you can't be bothered to get two monitors working. I've had a dual monitor setup for some time now and can choose between one giant desktop, two separate ones (with separate task bars), or a graphical desktop and a console/ICEWM desktop -- far more choice and flexibility than Windows will allow.
50K annual contract?
Hmmm. Ubuntu is based out of South Africa.
Local rand is what 10:1 exchange rate for us dollar.
(Assume that it is just to make the pricing easier.)
50K = 500K rand.
1 tech supports multiple customers.
Suppose he can support 5 customers...
revenue 250K or 2.5Mil Rand.
Cost of employee? 500-800K rand.
Not bad.

@Cameron Colley
Spoken like a true fanboi. Attacking the messenger and providing no help whatsoever; typical of the Linux world.
I can get multiple monitors working, thanks very much, what is not possible is proper control over configuration. It's not me that can't do it - it's actually impossible to do*.
Gnome will *ALWAYS* default to screen 0. X will *ALWAYS* declare screens in certain order. This means that one screen will *ALWAYS* be default, there is no way to configure that (other than dragging everything about at the start of every session) and it is bloody annoying when it's the wrong one (e.g. external VDU connected to a laptop - gnome will always default to that rather than the laptop screen; irritating).
And I must disagree with your assement on multi-head support. Windows has Linux licked there. On Windows I can hot-swap monitirs without out need to reboot/restart a session, I don't need to piss around with some crazy virtual desktop crap and be stuck with one screen that must always pan, I can quickly and easily configure screen (resolution, position etc) via an intuitive GUI AND, I can tell Windows which one is default/primary! The Linux options pale by comparison, virtual desktop/clone and that's yer lot basically; it can't even do separate backgrounds for the screens FFS!
Like I said, there is a lot to like about Linux but it really falls down hard on some really basic features. Managing screens being one.
*How do I know this? Because I have spent, err, wasted a lot of time finding out, that's why. linuxquestions.org, thinkwiki.org etc.
The Intel drivers were fixed in Jaunty a little while back. Two of our work laptops running Jaunty on Intel chipsets suddenly flared back into life. I think my current laptop uses an Intel chipset, and that's on Karmic with no worries. You should be fine.
Multiple Monitors
I've found that multiple monitors depends very much on what chipset I'm using. On an ATI board it was a pain in the ass, buggy as hell, kept changing my settings. Hated it. Had an nVidia board about the same power lying around. Swapped it in and it worked perfectly with multiple monitors, though each one has its own mouse cursor for some reason...
I do agree with other posters that there are some basic things that just aren't available as easy GUI-based config options, but I *do* see developments in these with every release. Sticking with monitors, compare the dialog for configuring these in Karmic with the one in Hardy.
It still pisses me off that KDE doesn't have an option to turn off tapping though. I mean, for the love of God! Surely there should be an option built for that long before the options to change colours, themes, etc.
@AC Re Screens
You might like the new versions of Xorg with kernel mode setting drivers. Of course if you have nvidia cards then your out of luck, but xrandr and the gui that slaps around it should be able to do everything your talking about without much of a problem.
Seriously, if you need to complain, either point us at the launchpad bug report your filed or the answers support ticket where you specifically listed your settings and hardware. Sometimes the reason it doesn't work is for outside complications like nvidia being rotten scallywags.
@Multiple Monitors - ATI
I've found (with an ATI card) that if you stick to the FOSS ATI drivers, multi-head works perfectly. OTOH if you install the ATI drivers you're screwed for multi-head support.
So surprisingly, the free drivers are better if you use more than 1 monitor. I don't notice any performance drop with the free drivers either, although I don't play games or any of those heavy 3D type apps.

"Now if I can just figure out how to turn off tapping on the mouse..."
Touchpad works nicely for me there ...
@The Other Greg
Bah, you know what I meant! :-p
Hate touchpad tapping. It's up there with Jade Goody on the Scale of Evil.

From the Armchair: Dolphins, Week 4
10/1/13 in NFL | kobe_lova | 62409 respect
I really need to coach..period. Who calls a sweep play on 3rd and a half inch? The god**** quarterback could hike the ball and fall straight down on his f****** face and convert that first down! Who kneels down and lets a minute tick off the clock at the end of the second quarter? What the actual ****? Look...you have a minute left...you go full-on Madden and F'N launch that sh** 4 times in a row. Four wide receiver set all running a go route...FOUR TIMES IN A ROW! At least ****ing try! Worst case scenario...you throw an interception...which obviously Tannehill isn't afraid of doing. Best case scenario... you go in at halftime down by four instead of 11. And, why in the hell did the Dolphins stop running the ball? Miller was carving out huge tracts of land in the first half! A piece of sh** like Lamar Miller was averaging over six yards a carry! Imagine what a real running back could have done! Peterson could have broken the rushing record in one game last night...WALKING! Facepalm.
And, can we get our money back for Wallace? Can we just take him back to Walmart and trade him in for something else...or get a gift card or something? He had more balls bouncing off of him than Jayden James. (*snort*, I'm sorry, he's crazy) How about a straight up trade; Wallace for Roddy White? Makes sense for both teams. Obviously, Wallace isn't a number one receiver...he could benefit from Julio Jones drawing extra coverage. And Roddy White IS a number one receiver making number one money playing third fiddle to Jones and a 58 year old tight end. (HA!) And while we're at it, can we dangle our first round pick next year out there for a premiere back? Maybe Chicago bites. Maybe Texas bites. Maybe Tampa Bay bites. Tannehill/White/Foster is a whole lot better than Tannehill/Wallace/Miller.
I'm so much better at this than Jeff Ireland it hurts. Choke on a bag of ****s, Ireland.

OH: They were playing the S*ints in case anyone cares, and next up: Ravens @ Sun Life, 1pm EST.
