Do Not Disturb Fantasy Travel Apps
There are some great travel-related apps around, from Google maps, which
helps you find out where you are right now, to Skyscanner a mobile comparison site for
flights. But there's always room for innovation. We've dreamed up a few new apps that
could change your life….
Translate Live
Wherever you are, launch the app, call the person at reception/airline desk/bus station
ticket window (even though you're standing 2ft away), and start talking. The conversation
is automatically translated into both languages needed. This will lead to more
communication, a better world and less mime. Everybody wins.
An add-on to Google maps, where you simply click on a location and you're there
instantaneously. The downside is that it makes the entire travel industry redundant, but the
ability to surprise people (usually at moments when they really, really don't want to be
surprised), surely makes it all worthwhile.
Streetview Now
A live version of Streetview, which lets you look all over the world in real time. Check the
traffic on any street, the weather in any city or simply go window-shopping half a world
away. Obviously the potential for this technology to be abused by all kinds of snoopers,
burglars and weirdos is huge. But it would still be great fun…
This app creates holiday pictures and videos of you enjoying yourself and/or being brave
and adventurous in a variety of locations, without the bother of having to go there. Simply
click 'Alpine', 'South Sea Island', 'Ancient Rome', 'Amazon kayak' or a host of others (inapp purchases apply) and impress your friends.
Siri is all very well but, let's face it, what does it really do? The Passepartout app not only
gives you advice and tells you where the nearest loo is, but also allows the phone to sprout
a small but incredibly powerful balloon that will, on low setting, carry your bags and on
high setting provide enough lift to transport you too, at a maximum altitude of 50 feet and
up to 30mph.

A little about me...
Having retired from a demanding professional life, I am enjoying retirement and the opportunity to enjoy each day to the fullest. I am very active, sincere, passionate, and love to laugh and have fun. I enjoy reading, the beach, movies, theatre, interesting conversations with others and exploring new places and things to do. I love to entertain and have a close circle of friends who describe me as "the giver" always putting others first and being a loyal friend and family member. I would love to find someone to share this wonderful time of my life with. Although I am a strong, independent person who has focused on career for way to long, I am also a hopeless romantic who hopes the future might be enhanced by finding someone to love life with.
About the one I'm looking for...
I'd love to meet someone who shares my interests, is sincere, honest, active, romantic and interesting to be with and talk to - someone who has a strong sense of self, cares for others, and enjoys even the simple things in life.
I'd just like to add...
Send me a message.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Fort Lauderdale worked overtime to extend its Cinderella season as Ralph Joseph scored in overtime to give the host L's an improbable, 4-3 come-from-behind victory in the Class 4A regional semifinal on Saturday afternoon.
"Our team never gives up," said Joseph, whose team will face the winner of the Sebastian River/Martin County game in the regional final on Tuesday. "Coach (Benito Clerveaux) said to keep playing until the final whistle blows. Out of all the goals I scored in my whole career, this was number one."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Virginia man who admitted to tricking a memory-impaired woman out of more than $170,000 for home improvements that were not performed has been sentenced to more than 2 years in prison.
Fifty-two-year-old James F. Butler of Culpeper had pleaded guilty to theft of a senior citizen in November. He was also ordered to pay restitution to the woman, who was 93 when the crime was committed, at sentencing on Monday.
According to court documents, Butler obtained the money over a 3-month period. Prosecutors say he told the woman, who lived alone in Washington, she owed him money for work that was not done.
Authorities say on some occasions, Butler would have her write him multiple checks on the same day, knowing that she did not remember having paid him.

Moonlight Bay Lyrics - The Beatles
We were sailing along
(twist and shout!)
On Moonlight Bay,
We could hear the voices singing,
(I like it!)
They seemed to say,
"You have broken my heart,
(oh, twist and shout!)
So don't go away
(are the Beatles gone?)
(No, they're here)
With your short, fat, hairy legs
On Moonlight Bay,
On Moonlight Bay."

Where Have The Nappy Roots Been?
Case in point; The Nappy Roots. After putting out two solid albums, theyre ready to bring out the best of the South once more with their third studio effort.
Their first album as an independent, The Humdinger has had its share of delays (with their last album coming out in 2003). To keep their fans attentive, they released an internet-only album last year which solidified their presence on the net. Its been a plan from day one: how we was gonna work the Internet and how we was gonna work the mass media and all the other sorts of outlets, but far as the internet, we have a hookup in various places with a lot of people that support the movement -- the good music movement. You know what Im saying, and Nappy Roots, we are proud affiliates of that, the Nappy Roots told DubCnn.com recently.
Though they are still tweaking the release date of The Humdinger, Skinny Deville stated late summer works best for them. At this time, we gonna call it summer, early August (laughing). I could throw a date of 05 [August 5th 2008] out there if you wanna hold on to something, but right now the date is August. The schedule is set and everything is working how its supposed to be. Sometimes these things, they take time and it aint that were not ready -- I dont think everybody as a whole will be ready for the music we trying to bring to the game. It aint what youd expect to hear from Nappy Roots at this point, but its everything that you thought Nappy Roots would be. Thats what I say The Humdinger is -- it aint what you expect, but its everything you thought it would be.
After explaining collaborations with Kanye West and Dave Matthews, the Nappy Roots bathed in their own glory of having a calendar day named after them in their home state of Kentucky. You get that by putting Kentucky on the map. Thats it We did a lot of big things and every time we got in front or the camera or got an opportunity to say things, we always shouted out where we were from. And people that was where we were from saw that and they seen it and we just did it so much and brought so much attention back to Kentucky, just in regards to hip-hop alone that they were like you know what, these dudes, they deserve it, they were everywhere and everybody knew that these dudes represented Kentucky in the best possible way.
The Humdinger is set to be released in August through Nappy Roots Entertainment.

Best of What's Next 2004 - This PDA Is a Real Pocket PC
So what will library services look like to someone who carries their whole life in this smart communicator? Will our networks and peripherals be ready to interact with these devices when they enter the building?
Moraine Valley College Library Making the Most of Blogs and RSS!
While I was gone last month, the folks at the Moraine Valley Community College Library (one of my members!) did something very cool. Larry Sloma and Troy Swanson saw me speak about blogs last year, and they both immediately grasped the power of them. They asked me to install an instance of Movable Type on the SLS server so they could play with it, and the next thing I knew, they had multiple blogs up and running. Larry has also done extensive work customizing the interfaces, which helps illustrate how a library can make its blogs look more interesting and attractive beyond just the standard Movable Type templates.
In addition, Troy and Larry also learned about RSS and again immediately understood the potential. They have now implemented a solution that automatically displays content from the blogs hosted on my server back on the MVCC web site which is hosted on their server. So now they're blogging on the SLS server, and the content is appearing on their web site in one aggregated page. Nice!
But these two guys didn't just go off on their own and stealthily implement all of this. No, they created the proof-of-concept and then showed it to their bosses, who then approved the project. The best part is that they also created policies, guidelines, and documentation for all of this. Contact Troy Swanson if you're interested in learning about how they did this and what they went through or if you'd like to get copies of their docs.
View their hard work:
See, you don't have to be at a huge university library to make something like this work! That's the great thing about blogging and RSS!
Great job, Troy and Larry, and kudos to the administration at the MVCC Library for being so willing to try something new!

Marciano: Holliday would return kicks in "perfect world"; Tate an option, tooPosted by on June 10, 2011 – 3:09 pm
Trindon Holliday and Ben Tate both played collegiately in the SEC, were drafted by the Texans in 2010 and spent their rookie season on injured reserve.
Turns out that's not all they have in common. Both are also candidates to be the Texans' kickoff returner, according to special teams coordinator Joe Marciano.
That's no surprise with Holliday, a 5-5, 169-pound return specialist with blazing speed. It's exactly what the Texans had in mind when they drafted him in the sixth round out of LSU.
"If I lived in a perfect world, hopefully he'd be our kickoff returner and Jacoby Jones would be our punt returner, and/or one of 'em being both or Trindon doing both," Marciano told SportsRadio 610 AM. "But, you know, we may not have that luxury. And the depth chart is a long list. It's open competition."
Marciano said that "long list" includes wide receivers David Anderson, Derrick Townsel and Paul Williams; cornerbacks Roc Carmichael, Brandon Harris, Sherrick McManis and Glover Quin; and safeties Quintin Demps and Shiloh Keo. And Tate, who's by far the most surprising name in the group.
"The last guy, who really came up to me when he was rehabbing and said he wants to have a shot at being a kickoff returner, and I'm all for it, is Ben Tate," Marciano said. "I think the third running back, whoever that is, will be thrown in the mix, whether that's him or whoever."
Steve Slaton was the Texans' third running back in 2010, and he shared kickoff return duties with Jones for most of the season. Tate (5-11, 219), a second-round pick out of Auburn, is slated to "take some turns" on offense behind Arian Foster in 2011. This is the first time the Texans have talked about the possibility of using him as a kick returner.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer - Villa Grace
2 beds, 2 ½ baths, sleeps 4. Easy access, parking. Near marina and beach
Villa Grace is a cozy 1930 Art Deco villa, recently renovated to the highest standards without losing any of its old charm. Located above the historic port of La Darse, this sunny two story house commands unobstructed views from both floors, inside as well as from its balconies, taking in the Bay of Villefranche, Cap Ferrat, the port with its marina, and the Mediterranean.
The house is located on Boulevard Princesse Grace de Monaco, also known as La Basse Corniche, at the entrance of Villefranche sur Mer when coming from Nice direction Monaco. You'd think it would be noisy, yet once inside, it is surprisingly quiet. Sitting on one of the balconies admiring the view you are surrounded by a blissful oasis of serene beauty making you want to sit there the whole day, were it not for the many wonderful things to explore in the area.
Villefranche center with its Wednesday/Saturday fresh produce market and Sunday antique market is a 5 minute walk away. Here you'll also find a good bakery, some cafés, the popular Picard flash-frozen gourmet food store, a Tabac and a pharmacy, while the Casino grocery store is even closer. The ultra-charming old town has a wider selection of shops and restaurants and is a 15 minute walk away, either via the main road with gorgeous water vistas or an even more mesmerizing stroll around the port and citadel by the sea. Nice is a 1 hour walk or a quick 10 minute (1 Euro) bus fare away. Nice airport is an easy transfer by bus from Nice or a 20-minute drive. The bus stop (St. Estève) is right next door and will take you to either Nice, St. Jean de Cap Ferrat or Monaco/Menton. The Lignes d'Azur train station is located at the bottom of the old town, about 20 minutes by foot. From the villa a staircase brings you straight down to the port where you'll find a small pebble beach, less crowded than the town's main beach, and some lovely spots to have a picnic. From here, you can walk all the way along the water to Beaulieu and around Cap Ferrat (really stunning walks!) and towards Nice in the other direction. Even in winter, the climate is generally sunny, cool enough for walks and warm enough to enjoy a leisurely lunch outside. Our villa gets sunshine all day throughout the entire year. The Villefranche area is hilly, hence its charm and great views. This is a great way to stay (or get) into shape, so if you are comfortable with that and want to stay mostly in and around Villefranche, you don't really need car. However, there are many advantages to having a car, especially if you'd like to use our apartment as a base to explore the many adorable hill-top perched villages of the Côte d'Azur, Italy and the Provence. The great asset of our villa is that it has an actual private parking inside the wrap-around patio, as well as a second parking spot in the back of the house, somewhat of a rarity in Villefranche.
The property, when we bought it, was a 3 bedroom, 1 ½ bathroom. We consciously chose to turn it into a 2 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom, not interested in tiny impractical bedrooms or pull-out couches. The house has been designed not just for your comfort, but ours as well, since we plan to spend part of our winters here. The villa oozes with charm. It has a working fire place in the dining room, and we put a lot of care into its details, from a collection of amazing lamps, Art Nouveau lead lights, giant antique mirrors and many other objects adding character. On top of these, we naturally thought of all modern conveniences, such as an incredibly comfortable Nicoletti couch, a fully stocked big kitchen, high-quality mattresses and linens, A/C in bedrooms and living room, a study, Wi-Fi throughout the house, proper radiator heating in winter, a gas stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher, micro-wave, flat-screen TV, stereo with UBS plug, DVD, etc.
Downstairs you'll find an entrance hall with guest toilet, followed by laundry room, dining room, fire place and living room with its spectacular views over the bay from its three windows. The kitchen is on the opposite side of the dining room and has access to the patio which connects to the balcony, which in turn connects again to the living room.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The master bedroom is very large by local standards. It has a king-size bed and the most incredible view as if floating over the bay. It has a small balcony where two persons can enjoy breakfast or cocktails together using a convenient portable table with removable tray. Automatic blinds will block out the light at night, although we prefer to sleep without them so we don't miss the amazing sunrises in the morning, when the sky breaks out in a spectrum of red, pink and orange. The second bedroom is smaller with a double bed, lots of charm and a view askance over the Mediterranean from the bed. In between there is a study, a relaxing place to work if needed. Each room has its luxurious bathroom nearby, one with a bathtub, the other with a large shower. Both have toilets, sinks, heating, fans, hairdryers, and plenty of space to store amenities and to hang towels. The study, smaller bedroom, dining and kitchen all have the typical shutters of the region, lovingly restored
- Suitability:
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
About Mattie Silman
The owner, Eveline Zoutendijk:
I'm originally from Holland, left 25 years ago and lived in Paris, Montreux, New York, Paris again, and Istanbul.
Why Mattie Silman chose Villefranche-sur-Mer
By the owner Eveline Zoutendijk:
My Australian partner George and I fell in love with Villefranche sur Mer when visiting a friend in January 2011. We stayed in the La Darse area then as well, and loved it more than anything. Although we currently live in Turkey, we agreed Villefranche would be a wonderfully relaxing place to spend part of the year. A bit impulsive perhaps, but in June 2011 we visited 14 apartments in one day and although we'd sworn never to do a renovation again, we could not help but fall in love with this particular villa. It just ticked all the boxes, for us and for other potential travellers. It had charm, a central location, great views, balconies, a decent size, private parking - what else could one want?
What makes this villa unique
By the owner Eveline Zoutendijk:
Besides the spectacular sunrises, another thing we love about the villa is that you can see "the two waters" from there, as in, the Bay of Villefranche and the Bay of Eze sur Mer behind it with the town of Beaulieu in between. There aren't that many locations from where you can see this and to us it's very special!
I have a culinary background, as well as 25 years of experience in luxury hotel management, and I currently own a Turkish cooking school and restaurant in Istanbul (Cooking Alaturka), so you can rest assured that the house is as comfortable as classy, and that the kitchen is well-equipped. What we love about La Darse is that you really feel like a local there. We have stayed in the old town centre and although we adored it, we prefer being a bit removed from the touristy aspect of it. And as much as we enjoy exploring the wonderful restaurants of the region, we also love picking things up at the local shops and markets and cooking at home. The villa is so cosy, you'll see it's hard to leave sometimes!

Kim Warren builds momentum for women at Intel Corp
Personal experience gives this diversity leader
with a tech background the passion and knowledge
to lead Intel women around the globe toward success
Kim Warren is the global women's initiative manager for global diversity at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA). She's as comfortable reading a book of poetry as she is studying a technical manual. She is as adept on stage entertaining an audience as she is at work building enthusiasm for Intel's female employees.
Warren grew up in Little Rock, AR, the oldest of four sisters. "Growing up, my interests were in the arts, theater and dance. I was also a gymnast. But when it came time to go to college, my dad had read that computers and computer science were the up-and-coming areas. His idea was for us to be self-sufficient and be able to take care of ourselves."
Warren received a BS in computer information systems in 1985 from DeVry University (Irving, TX) and an MBA with a concentration in telecommunications management from the University of Dallas (Irving, TX) in 1991.
"There were some challenges when I was in college," she remembers. "The math was fine but it was the logic and programming parts and some of the languages that I had to get a handle on. Because DeVry wasn't a massive university, I didn't feel buried. There weren't many women in my class, and the upperclass guys took us under their wings and looked out for us. It was a great experience.
"At DeVry, I participated in talent shows, wrote plays and found ways to feed my creative side, which was a blessing," she says. "I became interested in telecommunications from one of the classes I took there and decided to pursue it in grad school."
Between undergraduate and grad school, Warren worked for a subsidiary of pharmaceutical drug wholesaler FoxMeyer Health Corporation (Carrollton, TX). "I made a lot of technical training videos for them," she remembers. "When I travelled to the stores to upgrade systems, they would say, 'Oh, it's the lady from the video!'"
Meanwhile, a woman she knew worked for Nortel and told her that the company had an opening in its training center. Warren interviewed and got the job in 1991. "That was my entry into telecommunications," she smiles. She stayed in training for about a year before moving to R&D. She worked on a team that developed custom software features for MCI. Warren focused on features for MCI's Mechanized Calling Card Services (MCCS) software on Nortel's DMS-250 switch.
"MCI had a secondary vendor called DSC Communications. A lot of us were being courted by DSC. At that time I was looking to move into something more like product line management, and DSC gave me the opportunity." She joined DSC in 1994, two days after she competed in a national beauty pageant where she was crowned Miss Black Texas Metroplex.
Her first role at DSC was as a software development engineer IV, where she worked with engineering requirement specs. From there she was named senior software development engineer, where she provided technical support for sales and marketing departments. Her last role before leaving the company in 1999 was staff engineer for international product marketing.
Warren worked at startup company Vertel (Woodland Hills, CA) for a year before joining Trillium Digital Systems (Los Angeles, CA). Intel Corporation acquired Trillium in 2000.
The Intel experience
Warren joined Intel as a product marketing engineer, and was named a technology leadership marketing campaign manager in 2004.
In 2006, Warren became events marketing manager for corporate diversity, responsible for strategy and planning of Intel's presence at external diversity events.
She worked extensively with professional organizations looking at the progress of underrepresented populations in engineering.
In 2008, she assumed her current title. "This is not a position I pursued," she explains. "It was offered to me. I don't have an HR background and I didn't know if I was the right person for the job. I wasn't scared but I was a little uncomfortable." As global women's initiative manager for global diversity, Warren creates and implements strategies that impact retention and build enthusiasm for Intel's female employees and strengthen Intel's diversity commitment. Warren also represents Intel on corporate advisory boards of external technical and non-technical women's organizations and speaks at external engagements.
Reflection on attitudes
Warren believes that she has been successful in her role. Her commitment to it and the responsibilities it brings are built on her personal experience. "In the workplace, even going back to FoxMeyer, I worked with mostly men," Warren reflects. "Thinking back over what some people said, I would attribute it to, 'Oh, that's just the guys.' But I know differently now, especially with the work I do in diversity. There were managers then who didn't think that women should be in the workplace doing the work we were doing, and they made no bones about it."
Warren believes, though, that a lot of the comments and attitudes she faced in the past were not ill-intended at the time. "It's just how it was," she says. "'If you're going to play with the boys, this is how the boys play.' There were no concessions.
"I don't think just because I made it through that type of environment, others should have to experience those things," she states emphatically. "Today it's about being inclusive, not exclusive, and allowing everybody to thrive in their careers."
Does she miss the tech role? Sometimes, she admits, but she explains, "I try to stay abreast of where the company is technically, but I like what I'm able to do here, making a difference and making an impact. I'm spending time in a good place right now."

A little about me...
I'm a retired elementary teacher who was widowed in autumn of 2008. I moved to Cedar Falls last yr to be closer to 2 of my children. My kids and their spouses and my grandchildren are my biggest joys. I miss my garden-I moved into a condo with limited opportunities for growing things outdoors. I grew up on a farm and have always enjoyed the outdoors. I guess I'm not too graceful, as I've broken both ankles. It slows me down a little, but I can still do what I want to do. Timing was terrible. Both times I ended up wearing "the boot" to Rome. I am not wealthy, but enjoy being able to do the things I really want to do. Money has never been an end in itself. I enjoy being able to help others in need. I love life, am a happy woman, not a prude, but my religion and faith is important to me. Love to laugh, enjoy small gatherings rather than big parties. Not a party person, but love spending time with friends. Would like to do some more traveling.
About the one I'm looking for...
Would like someone who is respectful, not only of me, but of everyone. Not boisterous, but who enjoys laughing. Someone who enjoys rainbows and sunsets, walks in warm summer rains and rustles through the autumn leaves. Needs to be honest,- independent but not controlling. If he is handy on the grill, that would be a bonus!
I'd just like to add...
Fond of restaurants :),I like many kinds of music-not rap, etc. though. I like happily-ever-after movies. I'm not as fit as I should be--it's still a goal! I love celebrating holidays.

Big Star Cameos Surprise Fun In Indie Flicks
It has been said that indie films offer a view of love that is both dark and grim. Such an assessment is not overstated. The independent film is commonly one that tackles themes outside of mainstream Hollywood. As a result, www.directtelevisionpackages.com, there can be a darker and more cynical edge to an independent production. This carries over into how love may be presented in such films. There have been independent that have presented traditional looks at love and life. However, the vast majority of independent will be projects looking to shock. Classic independent films such as FINGERS (1978) would be reflective of how love and romance is presented in out of the mainstream projects. In FINGERS, Harvey Keitel is a knuckle breaker for the mob who tries to have a normal life outside of his work. His romantic endeavors are not exactly easy given the nature of what he must do for a living. Other independent films will be even more morbid in their approach to presenting love. It would seem the sentiment in these films is love does not exist or can never be true. Perhaps in the experiences of the writers and directors, this sentiment may very well be accurate.

The DNR wants to raise camping fees at eight state campgrounds and forests. It's asking for a boost of $3 per night.
The department says it hasn't raised the fees since 1992. The issue will now go to a public hearing.
The only park in North Central Wisconsin that would be effected is Hartman Creek State Park near Waupaca.
The others proposed for the rate hike are Devils Lake, Kohler-Andae, Mirror Lake, Peninsula, Big Bay, Point Beach and Willow River.

If you are experiencing difficulties or have concerns about certain issues at your place of work you may be wondering what aspects of employment are covered by law. Every aspect of employment is covered by the law in order to ensure that employees and their employers are treated fairly and respectfully in the work place.
For example, employment law covers matters of discrimination within the workplace, ensuring that employees cannot be discriminated against due to their race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
Employment law covers other mechanisms which exist to protect the rights of employees, including rights to a minimum wage and reasonable working hours, and health and safety regulations to ensure that employees do not come to any harm. The law also entitles some employees to redundancy payments when they are made redundant, and allows them to take their employer to an employment tribunal if they have been unfairly dismissed.
However, employment law does protect employers too, allowing them to fire employees if their work is not up to par, or if they commit gross misconduct.
Employment contracts also fall under the umbrella of employment law, and these affect both employers and employees. The employment contract, as with any legal contract, sets out the obligations and rights of each party. An employment contract will set out the employees terms of employment, detailing the responsibilities of the employee's job, how much he or she will be paid, and what rights they will be afforded as part of their contract (vacation time, for example).
It is important to be aware of your rights on aspects of employment that are covered by the law so that if anything should go wrong at work, you know you have the legal right to seek resolve.
The law on employment in the UK has been evolving in one way or another since people lived and worked within a feudal system. Modern employment law in the UK really began to take shape in the late nineteenth century when a set of employment rights and employment contracts became widespread. Employment law in the UK can be split into two distinct sections: individual labour law and collective labour law.
Individual labour law concerns the basic rights of individuals in the workplace like those set out in the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 while collective labour law concerns the rights that employees to participate in the decision-making process.

Hands On With OnLive: On-Demand Gaming Scores, but Still Clouded With Issues
Given the colossal audience of social networking sites and streaming services like Hulu and Netflix, the adoption of such financially sound models by the video game industry represents a boundless and untapped gold mine. Enter OnLive, a service that seeks to provide video games instantly to users (on an array of devices), while also enabling
The cloud-based game service, which also plans to release a MicroConsole in the fall, won't require lengthy, storage-sapping downloads. But will it provide seamless, uninterrupted gaming at a competitive price? That question, as well as numerous others, remains to be conclusively answered.
Platforms (and Prices)
One of the uncertainties in regard to OnLive's future success unquestionably rests on its "PlayPass" prices, since the existing numbers don't appear particularly enticing. Even with an as-yet-undisclosed subscription fee, users must basically pay the same rate for games as in-store shoppers (who actually have access to discounted, used copies). Subscribers are also only allowed to play purchased titles for a temporary period (initially until 2013, although that could be extended). While 'Arkham Asylum' evoked unprecedented critical acclaim, its OnLive PlayPass still costs $39.99, despite the game's year-long market presence. However, rental fees ($4.99 for 3 days or $6.99 for 5 days) closely resemble prices for on-demand movies, and implementing special deals and free-play periods would alleviate some monetary concerns. (Go ahead and cross this off the to-do list. From July 30th until August 1st, OnLive offered a full PlayPass for 'Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands' for an attractive $24.99 -- half the normal price.)
Role Playing
OnLive's existing exclusionary system requirements and lack of wireless capabilities also provoke a significant amount of gamer angst. But, wireless access will supposedly be available when the service becomes official, as will availability for slower computer models. Aggressive gamers could also find fault with the current lack of live-chat (which is essential for certain multiplayer games), the 720p resolution and the somewhat limited controller support. In an exhaustive and enlightening interview with CNET, though, Perlman repeatedly reminds and reassures wary gamers that the company plans to address all of those needs prior to the official premiere. He also purports the service to be 3-D ready, and will be compatible with various smartphones and tablet devices -- depending on certain proprietary regulations, of course.
Science, Strategy and Success
On July 16th, OnLive did initiate a free "Founding Members" program (for which you should definitely apply), which grants selected participants a free year-long membership, as well as the option to renew for a more-than-reasonable $4.99 per month. The service already seems worth that price for the aforementioned Mac owners, and for casual gamers who may not own an expensive console. For those folks, it provides a perfect and unique medium for playing with friends, while staying current with trendy titles and technical advancements. OnLive could at least carve an indelible niche with those frequently alienated and isolated markets.
Although the issues may seem intimidating, if OnLive accomplishes its objectives -- and enables universal, cross-platform gaming -- the service should revolutionize the industry. A multifunction and affordable (or, ideally, free) Roku-like MicroConsole could also sway consumers previously discouraged by the $300 price tags of other devices. With networking, demos, previews, rentals, purchases, and both new releases and classic titles, OnLive bridges a gap between serious, hardcore gamers and casual, infrequent players who may just browse the site for weekend entertainment. Others may only utilize it to purchase gifts for friends or kids. If that universal attraction blossoms, OnLive could absolutely relegate consoles, portable gaming gear and rival download services to a Sega-like status of obsolescence. While the market may not have been prepared for Perlman's '90s WebTV venture -- which numerous heavy-hitters now seek to imitate -- his generous new creation may go live at exactly the appropriate time.

Nuke support in UK hits record high
Public support for nuclear energy has reached an all-time high in the UK, less than a year after the Fukushima incident. There is an interesting gender gap, though. Pollsters Ipsos MORI, who buttonholed about 1,000 Brits last month for its survey, found that 40 per cent of the sample [PDF] now hold favourable views of nuclear …
Nuke Support
"Nuke support in UK hits record high"
Thats not what the graph says, both 2010 and the 2011 (Dec) have 40% approval, but the 2011 (Dec) data point has a higher disapproval rating.
So although those in favour of Nuclear has recovered to the level it enjoyed before Fukushima, there are now more people who are against it.
Taking "support" to mean "favourable":
What is the record support level? 40%. What level has been hit? 40%.
Did the support level (40%) hit the record high(40%)? Yes.
Perhaps you'd like some cherries with that? Oh! I see you've already got some :P
wishy washy liberal tree huggers think the answer to our problems are windmills.
When the power cuts finally kick in a few years from now and they can't brew themselves a cup of nettle tea and watch the latest Eco documentary they may wish to ponder on their years of objections to nuclear power.
The liberal minister for energy said,
On the BBC, 'We will be paying less for power in years to come, because we will be using less'.
Is this because we will not be able to afford to switch anything on due to green energy being 6x as expensive?
The powercuts will reduce consumption?
Perhaps people are waking up to the fact that nuclear is pretty much our only option - most renewables like solar and wind are unreliable and costly (and not even 'green') and the other option is keep burning carbon and emitting CO2?
The government should concentrate more on efficiency, insulation etc. - i.e. reducing consumption - but sooner or later you need more generating capacity and nuclear is the best choice.
+1 on that
The cheapest kWh is the one you don't have to generate. We've come a long way on energy efficiency over the years, with better insulation and low-power appliances. Of course, there's a limit to that too. Have a look at the difference in purchase cost vs running cost between an A-rated fridge-freezer and an A+++ rated one...
That's the point where you need more generation.
(Also bear in mind that in environments that need air-conditioning, solar is often a savvy option, because it generates at the time you're more likely to need that power. It's a fringe case, yes, but I'm just pointing out that solar/wind are not completely dead ducks.)
The government??
I'd prefer it if the government got out of the way completely and just left the market to get on with it. Nothing annoys me more than seeing my tax going to publicise crap insulaion schemes or, even worse, subsidising windmills.
The environment is far too important to be left to the idiots in govenment.
"Thats not what the graph says, both 2010 and the 2011 (Dec) have 40% approval, but the 2011 (Dec) data point has a higher disapproval rating."
That is not really the point - looking longer term people are (overall) more for / less against nuclear and that it has (already) recovered from the dip after Fukushima.
Perhaps people have noticed that...
...before taxes, a kWh of 'leccy is €0.0475 in Paris, and €0.1037 in London?
"...before taxes, a kWh of 'leccy is €0.0475 in Paris, and €0.1037 in London?"
What you miss is that the €0.0475 don't include the communal costs through government subsidies and tax rebates granted to the energy industry, and also not the costs for dealing with the nuclear waste. The price for that is paid by the French through taxes.
And the €0.1037 costs don't include having to keep an army in the middle east to protect 'our' oil supply or having to deal with rising sea levels putting London underwater.
Although personally I'm prepared to pay a lot more for electricity if it means the south east being underwater
Cost of nuclear power - it's all in the margins
I think the bit missed here is called a "marginal cost". That's the EXTRA cost of producing one more Watt from any point. For nuclear, it is almost zero. In essence you insert a fuel rod a little more, and watch a gauge. Nuclear fuel is "used" whether it's generating electricity or not, the decay just happens. Physics is like that. In other words it costs roughly the same to have the thing sitting idle as it does to be generating on full whack.
Consider a coal plant. If it is not being used, it's very cheap. You have to pay for labour and whatever fuel is needed to keep it ticking over. Once it needs to be used every Watt it generates needs a shovel (or whatever) of coal thrown in. The cost of the extra Watt is Very High Indeed. If a "shovel of coal" costs £1, and you sell electricity for £1.20 per "shovel equivalent" (I'll call it a Watt to make life simple) you make a marginal profit of 20p per Watt sold. It's not that simple though, because you have to pay all those fixed costs. Imagine they are £1million per year. To cover the costs you have to sell £1million divided by £0.20 Watts = 5 million Watts. After that, every extra Watt makes you 20p.
Now back to Nuclear. The fixed costs are higher, so let's say £2million. Each Watt costs 1p to generate (remember, the fuel is a fixed cost, and in that £2million). So each Watt we sell makes us £1.19. We have to sell £2M/£1.19 or about 1.7million Watts to reach break even. After that, each Watt we sell makes us £1.19. At 5million Watts, where coal breaks even, we have made 3.3million Watts times £1.19 or nearly £4,000,000. Those numbers are made up, but demonstrate the point of why it's cheap. The tipping point will be at a very different point in reality, but there will be one.
Having high fixed costs is economically risky. If there was no demand then the nuclear plant would have a £2million loss, the coal plant £1million. So the secret is to keep nuclear plants as busy as you can, selling as much electricity as you can. Enter the Interconnectors. These are links between grids, such as between France and the UK. It is almost exclusively pulling (or pushing, I dunno) electricity FROM France TO the UK, not the other way. Why? Well, it's cheap for France to generate extra Watts to help us out, so it makes lots of money doing it. Going the other way, we with out unpredictable wind and marginally expensive coal plants can't compete with France, so we don't tend to sell that way. Unless there is some disaster in France or elsewhere in mainland Europe, and they need all the power they can get. This, by the way, also helps out the French tax payer and the French nukes in keeping French prices down.
That's the nuclear model, that's why it's so cheap - IT'S THE MARGINAL COST OF PRODUCTION, that far, far outweighs the hidden costs you refer to, especially as all energy sources have subsidies, and the costs of nuclear waste storage are not as expensive as you would think, in the context of the sums one is considering for power generation for a whole country.
@Yet Another Commentard
Generating power from nuclear fission requires the splitting of atoms. This is slowed down by the presence of boron rods inserted into the fissionable material so fewer atoms are split. It therefore follows that with the rods inserted to produce less electricity, fewer atoms are split and therefore less fuel is used. Just like using the accelerator on the car, it uses a small amount of fuel when stationary but more when you increase the required output.
@Marginal cost
"Nuclear fuel is "used" whether it's generating electricity or not, the decay just happens."
That's definitely not true for nuclear reactors which are used on earth for producing electricity. In those you create a controlled chain reaction where you use neutrons to split the atom, creating more neutrons which split more atoms. (one important part about keeping a reactor running is to make sure only one neutron hits another atom at the right speed)
So if you have an unused fuel rod lying around somewhere it'll essentially do nothing. It's even only weakly radioactive. Only when you start the chain reaction you will get useful amounts of power.
What you might mean is a "Radioisotope thermoelectric generator". Those are moderately safe, but those only generate a kilowatt at most. They were used for space probes and pacemakers. Those actually run out of fuel no matter if you use the electricity or not. But that's really expensive.
To put some numbers into the discussion. When I go to my muncipal electricity company here in Germany, and ask for completely renewable energy, I'll have to pay 22,68 Eurocents per kilowatthour. That's about 0.19 pounds. And that covers the cost of not using any fossil fuel or nuclear power as well as taxes and everything until it reaches my socket.
They should have also asked how favourable/unfavourable Tsunamis are too.
As a control question as to the intelligence of the person they are polling.
Because Nuclear Power...
...is awesome.
Look at the facts. There's:
Burning coal, like your Grandad used to (and he had an outside bog too.)
Windmills, like on Camberwick Green.
Gas, like on your Mam's boring old hob.
Solar, like on the pink calculator you get laughed at for in school.
Biomass, which is just stinky, old rubbish.
Then there's SPLITTING THE FUCKING ATOM. You know, like a NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMB MAN!!!!1
You can't argue with my data.
no-one is ever going to get super powers from a fucking windmill.
Nuclear power, because I want X-Ray vision.
Bravo, sir!
Too little, too late.
Problem is, it's all too late. We've been pursuing a power policy based on utter fantasy for years and now the time to build new nuclear plants is too long. We need to get cracking right now, but planning consents, public consultations etc.etc. will ensure it'll take years. Nuclear is our only option at the moment and has been for years. All the alternatives pursued for the last couple of decades were so obviously flawed for a variety of reasons.
If we start getting power shortages, I just hope someone has the bottle to turn off the people who caused it first. The greens, anti-nuclear etc. Leave those of us sensible enough to see reality alone. The whole thing has been one big con for 20 years.
RE: Too little, too late.
".....We need to get cracking right now, but planning consents, public consultations etc.etc. will ensure it'll take years....." A few years ago I had a chat with a civvie servant who said there were ways round such matters. True, this was after several beers, but his option was quite amusingly simple - government decides to have nuke-powered ships/submarines; invests in the nuke powerplant research/production (could be based on current Trident sub systems); then cancels nuke ships/subs after having produced working "engines"; announces it will save money by using the cancelled nuke powerplants as generators for UK military facilities (getting round the planning and consent bits); feeds excess power from new militray bases into the grid. Apparently, the idea came from American work in the '50s when they converted a nuke sub into a leccy powerstation.
Planning consent
Two points:
1. Once the lights start to dim, consent becomes easy.
2. No doubt there is a workaround based upon security of energy supply, national security or any other story a Government can come up with.
At the end of the day even the Greens will want the lights on.
Barring some technological miracle,
support for nuclear power in the UK will eventually become demand, cos unfortunately we're not all willing to martyr ourselves to the renewables cause. Electricity bills can't keep rising forever without protest.
Maybe we'll get magical cheap, efficient photovoltaic cells next year. I suspect it is rather more likely that the power fairies will come power our heating systems for us.
Its not a question of martyrdom
Its a question of actual feasibility.
Renewable energy of at least the intermittent kind cant do the job alone, and there is no alternative that is feasible beyond fossil to complement it with.
There is also the mater of energy density, which is low for all renewables, and population density, which is high for the UK at least.
David Mackay estimates we consume about 5Kw per head to live as we do. The industry standard for wind power is just 2w/square meter AVERAGE. So that is 2500 square meters - 2.5 square kilometers, - per head of population to satisfy our total energy needs with renewable windmills.
Plus some kind of storage to tide us over those grey cold windless days..and nights..a lake the size of Loch Ness, and 1000 meters deep should just about keep us going..Oh... No such lake exists, or can be built.
Whereas with nuclear, we don't need the storage - that's taken care of in the atomic nucleus already, and storing a few decades of nuclear fuel is entirely feasible -- and the actual power density of a nuclear plant is around 2kW/sq meter. two and a half square meters of land for each and every one of our energy needs is a lot less than we need just to sleep, so suddenly we get our country and land area back for food, houses, recreation, and all the other things that make a non 'renewable' life worth living...
Those who realize that renewable energy cannot ever, has not ever and will not ever be a realistic proposition, at current population levels, are left with the potentially injurious burning of whatever fossil fuel is left, nuclear energy, or a return to medieval population levels via a massive die back in population.
The jury is still out on climate change, but not on renewable energy, amongst the modestly intelligent part of the population. The grim acceptance that nuclear power is the only practical way forward at this point in time, has arrived, and, with it, the understanding that its problems are at least susceptible to careful technological solutions, wheres those of the renewable fantasy are not - they are intrinsic to the energy sources.
A square kilometre is a MILLION square metres
As title.
Nukes make more sense for today's carbon-sensitive world, no matter what happened in Japan. In fact, that old nuclear plant was never designed for the size of quake that it withstood remarkably well, considering.
Not to mention that the likelihood of an equivalent earthquake and/or tsunami is pretty bloody low in the UK.
er, Bristol Channel, 1607 anyone?
and another Tunguska -bam!- no more Russian Gas.
Your point?
@The Grime
Seven minutes past four in the afternoon?
Unreliable and costly
I hate the way Britain has become so timid and backward looking.
In Germany they are running into all the anticipated problems right now, especially with their wind farms (surges of excess energy which are overwhealming the electricity transportation grid and can't be stored). Are they throwing their hands up in despair? No, they're getting creative and investing in the future.
The biggest upgrade of the electricity grid since it was built, is about to happen to solve the transportation problem.
But what about storage? That's the real killer. Well, there's a bloody brilliant idea which is (probably) going to be put into action relatively quickly and cheaply. The idea is to use the thousands of kilometers of underground tunnels left over after a few centuries of mining in and around the most populated areas. These extremely deep tunnels are perfect batteries for potential energy, in the same way that we use lakes for storing energy between times of peak demand.
As for Fukushima, ... trying to get insight into the Nuclear industry in the public media in the U.S. or U.K. is about as likely as having a British Newspaper explain just what the City of London is (hint, it's not at all what you think it is if you think it's just another word for "London"....).
http://www.fairewinds.com/updates - if you want hard facts about the consequences of Fukushima, the factual design inadequacies of existing nuclear powerplants, and an insight into the lazy and corrupt nature of the industry as a whole.
Sorry what?
I may be missing something here, but how do you pump energy into a tunnel? (innuendo aside)
I'm assuming he's talking about compressed air, it's been done at a few locations around the world.
Pump air into a huge space at off peak times and release though a turbine at on peak times.
The thing is, because compressed air is not very energy dense you need huge enclosed spaces with a lot of structural strenght to do it , hence mines and cave systems. Its also not very efficent losing energy through heat when you compress the air - some sites use heat exchangers to take heat from the compression pump and apply it to the air being released to improve on the efficency.
Pumping energy in is the easy bit.
Pumping even a small fraction of that back out days/hours later is the hard bit.
@ Ben 50: So inaccurate it's comical
I've had a look at that website and it is publishing fairy tales as fact.
20mSv/yr is the internationally accepted dose rate LIMIT for nuclear workers. Dose rates to the public have to be below 1mSv/yr or, to put it bluntly, much less than the background radiation dose you get from living.
No government in the world would allow the 20mSv dose rate for the public.
1 additional cancer for every 100 girls? I'd love to see their analysis! Internal or external dose? Ingestion, inhalation or contaminated wounds? What nuclide is giving the dose?
Like I said above, fairy tales!
Oh, have you tried to look beyond the media? Nearly everything about the nuclear industry in this country is in the public domain. Only details that compromise the security of the plant, or the country are classified.
Face it Ben, you don't know what you're talking about. (and neither does that site you linked to either)
You what?
You're trying to tell us that it is a good thing that the Germans are squandering vast amounts of money on trying to deal with the power storage issue, when they had a perfectly good nuclear power system in place already? Decomissioning those old nuke plants in response to Fukushima hysteria (seriously, how tectonically active is Germany these days?) is a colossal disservice to anyone who has to pay taxes to the German government, or buy power from German power companies.
And using underground tunnels for power storage? Hint: pumped storage systems are built at altitude for a good reason. Also have a think about exactly how polluted all those tunnels are.
If the nuclear industry is lazy and corrupt, then it needs to be fixed. Filling our country with windfarms and pumped storage schemes and vastly increasing electricity bills is not an appropriate or sustainable response.
I hate the way Britain has become so timid and backward looking."
Well, actually it's not surprising. Britain has lost leadership in almost any major technical sector, so it's not surprising that it does the same with renewable energy.
Nuclear power is not environmentally friendly. While it's perceived by the masses as clean, in fact it's not. Aside from the problem with the radiating waste (and no, not everything can be recycled), the mining and enrichment process is a really dirty mess, which most people never see as all that comes out of a nuclear power plant is water vapor from the cooling towers (which btw is also a contributor to climate change). And besides all that, uranium reserves are, similar to oil, not endless.
Nuclear power is also not cheap. I can't find the source right now but apparently the real price (which includes the costs for waste disposal, subsidies, grants, tax rebates and other government support) for power from a French or German nuclear power plant paid by the public is more like €1 to 1.30 *per kWh*. But the majority of this is paid indirectly through taxes, and therefore not directly visible to the customers. And it's of very high interest to the nuclear industry to keep the real costs out of our view.
Then there is the danger. I agree that another Chernobyl is unlikely but the nuclear industry has a proven track record of incompetence, negligience and untrustworthyness, with (at least borderline) criminal beahvior, which more often than not has put public safety at risk for pure cost savings and personal enrichment. It's beyond me how the public can still trust these criminals to maintain high safety standards, but the public as an entity knows jack sh*t about anything and is generally stupid as a mule, and if given the chance almost certainly always makes the wrong decisions.
Nuclear power in an outdated idea from the 60's. It may have it's use in special areas (i.e. as power source for space craft), but clinging to it as means of generating electricity is completely backward thinking. But then, most British houses are build after the same old Victorian style, and having separate taps for cold and warm water instead of a mixer tap as the rest of the world is considered to be a sign of 'character', so maybe Britain is inherently backward, and needs to be taught another lesson by another country that there are alternatives for things Brits consider there is no alternative for.
> No, they're getting creative and investing in the future.
By building lots of new coal plants, indeed. Very creative.
> Nuclear power in an outdated idea from the 60's.
Wind power is an outdated idea from the ancient Greeks. Your point?
NOTHING is environmentally friendly. There are no perfect solutions. All that's left is to pick the least worst option...
> And using underground tunnels for power storage? Hint: pumped storage systems are built at
> altitude for a good reason. Also have a think about exactly how polluted all those tunnels are.
So turn it around. Generate power from filling the holes by gravity, and pump it back out when there's spare power. That's not the problem. (Even leakage works in your favour here.)
It won't be very efficient, but granted it's a way to store energy that's not too far out there.
typical 'could' cuckoo land
Now go away and actually do the sums on all that BS you have spourted, and when it comes back that Germany will be bankrupt and shivering in tow decades and taking all of its power from a nuclear France, then we can talk.
Germany and Denmark are way way worse at CO2 emissions per unit electricity than Switzerland (hydro + nuclear) or France (nuclear plus a bit of fossil).
Its all very fine to destroy your country by 'going renewable' for political reasons but the evidence is that it wont reduce fossil fuel consumption one iota.
Since that is its sole justification, what on earth is the point of it at all?
The correct answer is that there is no technological or climate change point: there is merely a political perception and profit motive.
It becomes, in the end, a way to get elected, for stupid people to take the moral high ground, and for energy companies to raise their prices.
"I'm assuming he's talking about compressed air, it's been done at a few locations around the world."
Perhaps the gasometer model. These are not filled with (compressed) gas but with water.
the gas enters an underground storage space and displaces the water into the extensible tanks seen above ground. Its the head of water that provides the pressure and energy storage not the compression of the gas on a fixed size container.
As these are being "retired" by varouius gas boards, these would become ideal small scale local generating facilities - especiallya s they are often located on industrial sites - next to HVAC lines.
A small genset could take low cost offpeakl leccy pump air into the old gas storage tank and during peak generate leccy. I doubt this would actually be a vaiable business model and would not sit under the governments renewables targets but it is clean simple and would "just work".
> it is clean simple and would "just work".
I'm not sure that's actually the case...
The sort of volume of water we're talking about really isn't that great; if you work out the total energy storage in a gasometer, it's going to be pretty much ineffective as an electricity supply.
Gasometers held enough energy to sustain the gas *pressure*...
High Voltage Alternating Current, aka high tension lines
Back to the subject, as a backdrop to the intermittent nature of renewables, you need a multi-tiered approach. The only system that I am aware of that can deal with surges in demand or drops in production on a reasonably short time scale (i.e. seconds) is hydro-electric. Open the valves at the top and a few seconds later you have power. Every other system needs time to spin up as they involve converting water (or other fluid) to high pressure superheated gas and that entire process takes time to warm up and get going.
Nuclear needs to happen because the tree-huggers won't let us burn gas, oil or coal, but they won't let us build nukes either because of the waste problems once they're past their usable life. Which leaves us with a fundamental problem with environmental groups - they think that the solution is for people to have no power for days at a time when the renewables cannot produce enough to power the grid. Until the tree-huggers realise the flaws in their demands, or the government stops pandering to them, the rest of the country will suffer.
An0n C0w4rd
And therein lies the problem. From my experience of them, tree huggers don't expect people to go without electricity. To them, it's simply that another solution needs to be found. They start pointing out windmills etc. and once you point out the flaws, just start on about 'another alternative has to be found.' In other words, I haven't a clue what we can use, but these are bad and shouldn't be used. It's not about them wanting us not to have electricity, or to live in caves, it simply that they know what they don't like, but are clueless to come up with an alternative that works. They tend to hold out on some future panacea that somehow will majically appear from nowhere.
There are also a lot who say windmills are the answer and yet when planning permission is sought near their home (say within eyesight), they are the first to complain!! They always want it to be someone elses problem.
"...before taxes, a kWh of 'leccy is €0.0475 in Paris, and €0.1037 in London?"
Surprise, surprise the French have a lot of nuclear power.
So what?
Spend more, get better quality (less risk, less damage to the environment, and less incentive to waste as much energy).
If the difference was a few thousand percent, and it meant you didn't have enough money left to eat, then you might have a point.
"less incentive to waste as much energy"
Yeah, cos what we really need is for it to cost more to turn out ovens on and cook dinner (combined with rising food prices). And obviously the increased price will help us understand that it's OK for us and our kids to be cold.
You either have too much fucking money or are completely deficient in sense.

Eating Disorders and College
Eating Disorders have become more common among College students. The reason may be from the pressures of college, the long study sessions or just the idea that students have to be thin to fit in. Some students find it hard to make that change from High School to College in the way that the popular kids in High School got all the good looking dates and they kind of ruled the school. But in College there are no cliques and there are no in crowds. The nice thing about College is that all students start off on a level playing field. Chances are the popular high school kids will not be attending the same College.
You have to realize this so you can take off that added pressure. There are many other reasons for eating disorders. It will hard for the person with the disorder to see that they have one, so it may be up to the roommates and friends to understand what to look for is you suspect that your friend has an eating disorder. Here are some signs of Anorexia that you may be able to spot.
Number 1: Some Anorexia sufferers tend to wear big clothes. The reason why this is is because they want to hide underneath the layers of clothing so they wont feel like people are judging them on the way they look.
Number 2: See if you can tell any dramatic weight losses in recent weeks. Anorexics often drop a good amount of weight rather quickly.
Number 3: See if you can notice that they are a bit pickier about what they are eating or not eating. Some Anorexics tend to skip meals and drink a lot of water or perhaps chew a lot of gun rather than eat a meal.
Another eating disorder to watch for is Bulimia. Bulimia is said to be more common among people who come from a more upper class society or perhaps someone who is in athletics. Bulimia tends to affect those people who feel the need to be accepted and feel the need to be the best in the surroundings. One of the best ways to tell if someone is bulimic is to see if they are obsessed about eating and their weight. Often bulimics purge after eating while anorexics tend not to eat.
If you are concerned about a roommate or a friend from school, talk to them and ask them if there is something wrong and let them know that you are available if they need to talk. If the condition seems to get worse talk to your school nurse and see what they suggest you can do. Confronting someone who you suspect has an eating disorder may not be something that you want to do; they may become withdrawn or perhaps mad. Get some advice before talking to your friend about a suspected eating disorder.

fist of all, removing points from imp sunder would be counter productive to increasing rage efficency. devistate is the ability you spam the most, and the most right off the bat, 9 rage for a dev is huge at the start of the fight when you have 10 rage, maybe 11.
also imp revenge, stuns.... a stuned mob does not hit you, does not give you rage.
anger management is worthless, if your having that huge of rage issues, put on some SBV gear and drop some avoidance.
if your going to remove any points, take the 2 out of imp demo shout, its nice but not nessisary and your having rage issues, so less damage in= less rage out
the biggest thing is when are you having such huge rage issues? and what gear are you wearing at that time, build diffrent sets, avoidance, EH, SBV.
