Rumor: Mario Kart Wii may also be plagued by disc read errors
Did your nearly two years of anticipation come to an anticlimactic conclusion last month when your stubborn, soiled Nintendo Wii refused to play the pristine copy of Smash Bros. Brawl you'd just purchased? If you were one of the unlucky owners of an unkempt Wii whose dust-covered laser couldn't rea...
Wii Warm Up: Technical difficulties
Since the release of the Wii, we've gotten a few e-mails from people reporting that they've had various problems with their systems -- and we're not talking straps here, but actual technical difficulties. In light of that, we figured it was a good time to open the floor to everyone and ask: have you...
Let the DREs begin!
Kotaku has received a couple of emails from Wii owners reporting of already receiving DRE (disc-read error) messages. Some have even reported that their Wii has become bricked and won't even power on! What horror! Have any of you out there in Wii Fanboy land been the unfortunate recipient of a pain...

The work of therapy is done by the client. The practice of therapy is conducted by the therapist. What that means is that the therapist can, with the client's agreement, lay down some loosely structured parameters for the work the client will do, leaving room for the client to change the parameters as new information comes forth. But the actual work done on the psyche and well-being of the client is done by the client, not the therapist.
The troublesome part of therapy is that it can amount to the therapist acting as the-rapist, or it can amount to the therapist acting as an invitation to heal. Unwittingly, however, the client often asks for the therapist to play rapist.
Here's what I mean. Clients very often want a therapist to sprinkle pink foo-foo dust over them and heal them. They want a quick fix, answers to the big questions of life and they want it all right now. They will even, quite often, ask the therapist questions like "what should I do?"
That's okay. The client is not responsible for the practice of ethical, skillful and responsible therapy. The therapist is. But if the therapist takes the bait, the therapist has become the-rapist. Why? Because the therapist has taken over the work of the client, doing it for her—thus dis-enabling the client to empower herself to grow.

Enhanced Control of On-Screen Faders with a Computer Mouse
Input devices of the audio studio that formerly were physical have mostly been converted into virtual controls on the computer screen. Whereas this transition saves space and cost, it has reduced the performance of these controls, as virtual controls adjusted using the computer mouse do not exhibit the accuracy and accessibility of their physical counterparts. Previous studies show that interaction with scrollable timelines can be enhanced by an intelligent interpretation of the mouse movement. We apply similar techniques to virtual faders as used for audio control, leveraging such approaches as controllable zoom levels and pseudo-haptic interaction. Tests conducted on five such methods provide insight into how to decouple the fader from the mouse movement to improve accuracy without impairing the speed of the interaction.

My sister and I signed up for Restylane at a Women's Expo.
We both wrinkled fairly young and have the folds by our noses, creases to the sides of our bottom lip, and almost no upper lift.
I was amazed at the pain from the injection (no numbing was used). It took one full tube to do the folds by my nose (at $400.00 per tube) and another full tube for the folds to the right of my bottom lip. I could notice a little (and I stress a little) difference, but not $800.00 worth.
From all that I had read about Restylane, I thought it would have worked much better than it did. My sister had her upper lip injected with hardly any result. The result from the injections by the sides of her mouth made her jowls appear larger. We bothI thought it was a ripoff!

more information from RRCA on the policy Following guidelines from the Road Runners of Clubs of America (RRCA), Pikes Peak Road Runners discourages and in most cases, does not allow use of headphones in its races. The rationale for this is simple: the majority of our races are held on trails, which are crowded with many other runners (and sometimes other trail users). Maintaining one's sensory capacity during such situations is paramount for the safety of all participants.
This is a prediction run with a staggered start format.
When you register, you predict your finish time for the 5K course. The clock is set to the highest predicted finish time of all the runners and set to count down. As the clock reaches the prediction time of each runner, that runner starts running.
With this format, the slower runners start first, followed by the middle of the pack runners, and then finally the fast runners. If everybody predicts their time perfectly, they will finish at the same moment.
Of course, that never happens, as some runners are overly optimistic with their prediction, while others are overly conservative. Once the last runner starts, i.e., the one with the fastest predicted time, the clock is covered.
This event has been around since 1978. It's always been on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
The unique format provides a very interesting race strategy and adds tons of fun.
Flat course on pavement and cement sidewalks. Elevation is about 6100 feet. It's somewhat of a figure 8 course, with one of the loops around the criterium bike course, and the other loop around Prospect Lake. 5K runners will loop twice around Prospect Lake.
5K runners do 2 loops around the lake
