She should have played a quiet game and sweet talked people into voting out the FF4 out, instead she sat back got paranoid and helped vote out Galu after Galu. Now she decides to become big, bad and bold and make a move. The Gnome Prince and his band of Merry Trolls can't be swayed by the Medusa Monster. The remaining Purple People Eaters just sit back and wait. At the Tribal Council, Medusa decides to bad mouth Sir Gnome. However the mighty Prince decides to wear his Power of Immunity Necklace and tell Medusa what she can do with her power. Jeff the mighy King of Probstville questions the Princes move. The Prince hints at, "It is what it is"! Lets vote and see who carries the power bucket. After a 5 – 2 vote the Smiling Medusa is set on vacation in Pondersaville with the other Purple Punks who are feeding on Probstville goodies!
Tag Archives: Galu
It's now or never for the G5 minus Shambo!
Slowly but surely the destruction of Galu is happening. For the FF4 to succeed they had to turn on themselves. Russell S. turned Shambo aginst them by sending her to Foa Foa twice, then Laura bad mouthed her because of basically culture differencs. Add 1 to Foa Foa and it's the FF5 at the merge.
FF4 plans arranged by Russell to seek and destroy worked well. They learned and found a weakness. Natalie was able at the last moment to sway Galu to evict Eric, move of the game. Only bad move, The Gnome was scared and played his idol.
Henceforth and hereto what does Mr Munchkin do, he finds the new idol w/o any clue again. Must be his elfin power!
Laura was to be next because Shambo wanted her gone, however, grandma won immunity and Kelly was in the wrong place at the wrong time. (I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time….) So Kelly goes and now FF5 = G5 we are fit to be tied!!! Laura was unlucky, but her rift with Shambo was her downfall. If you still have Shambo's trust FF4 might be FF1 right now. Too bad you couldn't see past her idiosyncrasy's and treat her as an equal.
Now with the FF5 they have the clear advantage unless they start to play an individual game. No one knows Pipsqueak w/a belly found the idol "AGAIN"!
This guy as I have said before is amazing. He has to have seen the show before because he understands that when they hide an idol there must be a landmark nearby so they no were to look, simple gamesmanship the the Lazy19 never even thought to do! Russell has continually stayed busy, even when it was messing with his own team. The man has not stopped playing this game. The early clip for next week makes it seem like they are after russell, BUT, we shall see. He be the MAN!
More to come on the Texas Gnome.
They'll let anyone talk about Survivor!
Numb3rs compares Survivor players to prisoners
Survivor Samoa » by Andy Dehnart / November 16, 2009
Do you remember any of these people????
You can be a "Survivor"!
So you've seen the show and now want to know how to become a part of SURVIVOR. Here is a
breakdown of the selection process:
1. If you have previously applied for SURVIVOR and you were a finalist in Los Angeles,
please do not reapply. Unless you specifically notify us in writing that we should not consider
your prior application and submission in connection with an upcoming SURVIVOR, we will be
reviewing your previously submitted applications and videotape submissions for SURVIVOR.
We will not consider any new application or submission you may submit. Second, if you have
previously applied for SURVIVOR and you were
reapply if you wish because we will not be considering your previously submitted applications
and videotape submissions for upcoming SURVIVORs.
2. Written application forms are available for downloading on this website. Applications
must be received by January 6, 2010.
3. A total of approximately 800 applicants
by the Producers in person at one of the following locations: Los Angeles, Ca; New York, NY;
Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX: Detroit, MI; Boston, MA; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL; and
Denver, CO. Producers reserve the right to change the number or the identity of the foregoing
locations at any time. All travel expenses for the interview will be the applicants' sole expense.
4. Semi-finalists (the number of which will be determined by Producers) will be invited to
Los Angeles as scheduled by Producers for final interviews with the SURVIVOR producers.
Roundtrip economy air travel between Los Angeles and your local airport in the United States
and lodging will be provided by Producers.
5. Approximately 16 finalists for each cycle (the final number of which will be determined
by Producers) will be selected as contestants to participate in this SURVIVOR program. Filming
is presently scheduled to occur for cycles 21 and 22 in summer to fall of 2010 (or as otherwise
scheduled by Producers) at a remote location to be announced.
6. All decisions made by the Producers are final and not subject to review or appeal.
So now you're probably wondering what kind of person is eligible to be selected for this once in a
lifetime opportunity. Here are the guidelines:
not a finalist in Los Angeles, feel free tomay be invited to interview as may be scheduled
It's all a matter of taste!
A fine wine is supposed to be good, but to us non-wine drinkers, wine sucks. Unless it's cheap and sweet, I can't drink it, never aquired a taste for it.
Russell however has managed to hang around long enough that I have aquired a taste for his anticts. He played the idol just like your supposed to even though no one voted for him. On the other hand all but 2 players voted for Eric and he "didn't" play his Idol thought no one knew he had and oops, home he went, with a minor stop over at "The Ponderosa".
Love him or hate him, Russell has become the character who has been running the show. Russell now will have to depend on pure wit and wisdom to maintain his place in the game. TV editing aside, he sure looks like he will now need help to remain in the game. Can he convince someone into an alliance and make it all workout? He is a shrewed little man with a big heart who has played the game so far just like he said he would since day one
The majority of the old Galu tribe seem intent on getting him out of the game along with Jaison who seems ready to turn on Russell. I think Brett or John will see the wise decision would be to keep him until a later date and get rid of someone else. I still think the guys should get rid of at least 1 more girl before someone who can help take them further into the game.
Eric was a strong player, so now do they keep targeting the strong, does Galu target Foa Foa members or will some serious alliances start to develop and get some interesting game play get started?
Lets go Survivors, start playing for yourselves and kick some butt!!
Touch your gloves and come out of your corner ready to fight!
It's round ten of this 15 round heavyweight bout and it's every man against Russell. Is he up to the challenge or will there be a knoutout this week. It seems as if Russell has been earmarked for eviction, can he round up enough help to stay in the fight?
Up next your favorite bag of wind and his assistant:

Debbie | As the Game Turns…
November 9, 2009
The tribal merge is always an exciting time on the show and along with the merge a new game is born. The initial reaction of those still standing is excitement, joy and, of course, the long waited gorging of food. However, once the "newness" wears off reality hits, the game continues and it is time for new alliances to be formed. That is what happened the other night. The episode left my head spinning due to everything that occurred in the merge. Russell summed it up best by stating, "All hell broke loose."
The new AIGA tribe keeps referring to Galu's control of the game because they have the numbers. Did anyone watch Tocantins? Timbira was up by two people and they took us all out one by one! Believe me it can happen.
I was more than thrilled to see the girls finally getting involved in strategizing. Laura is really strong, but needs to watch what she says and conceal her dislike for Shambo. Others watched and listened to her outburst with Shambo. Erik stated, "We all know Shambo is crazy. If you fight with crazy, you are crazy." The tribe appeared to be in shock that Laura would engage in an argument with Shambo concerning the canteen. Heck, have you taken note of what you are eating and drinking? Who cares whose canteen you drink from? I do believe if Laura did not win the challenge, the initial plan would have been followed and she would have been eliminated. Be careful, Laura, you are strong and doing well. Do not let your frustrations get the best of you.
Russell loves the merge because he felt he once again was in control. I cringed when watching Monica feed him grapes. Russell actually called himself "The King". Monica better be cautious. She might be the next Ann Boylen and have her head chopped if she trusts this King! As much as I love to "hate" Russell, I have to admit, the guy is growing on me. I still am furious that he lied about his involvement in Katrina, but Russell never lets up. He definitely knows how to play the game; he constantly has his brain wrapped around his next move.
I thought bartenders attend listening 101 classes. Erik lacks the listening skills so he must have failed or missed that class. Every bartender I know loves to listen and take care of their patrons. It seemed that AIGA had not made their final decisions regarding their vote until Erik started his verbal rampage. He cut down Foa Foa and even went after my beloved Jaison (Coach, I will admit you were right about his performance last week, however, I still think you are going see it my way in the end.)
I do not think it was a bad move for Russell to play the idol. He had already exposed the prized jewel to everyone and he made himself a target anyway. The previews were attention-grabbing. It looks like Russell will be squirming next week. It appears that he better win the immunity or it may be his last opportunity. Dave is emerging as one of my strong favorites. I loved his comment stating that his sport was "making love" and when Jeff asked if he had practiced and he stated, "Not enough." Was he really raised by a preacher? He sure makes me laugh; therefore, I hope to see him continue. Time will tell!
Coach | My Advice To All
November 9, 2009
The Dragon Slayer would like to introduce the theory of the famous Prisoner of War Chinese Water Torture. The incessant drip of water, sporadically that starts as a small nuisance but becomes a mind bender and killer. Drip drip drip.
Thus the finest comparison I can give to relate to the incessant bickering around camp. Magnified by the conditions of rain, cold, hunger and depravation of sleep. Drip, drip, drip. It will drive you to insanity, paranoia and delirium.
And then the merge comes. Like a prisoner coming out of his/her cell for a temporary stay in the torture of arguing. But my little dragons, it's only temporary. Believe me after the feast is digested, the complaining and bickering and backstabbing will return with a vengeance twice as forceful as before. Just you wait. Drip drip drip.
Dragon Slayer advice for the day. "Use the wise words of your predecessor to gain success in battle." In order to assist you all I have compiled a list for many of you to use in the upcoming weeks…that is if you are listening.
Erik, I learned the hard way…pride comes before the fall. Be careful thinking the game is in hand. You are all on day 19! And never, and I say never take walks by yourself on game (Tribal) day.
Gollum (Russell H). Your little man's syndrome is catching up to you. Showing one person the idol? Brilliant. Showing half a dozen people? Foolish. Dead men tell no tales. And playing the idol? INCONGRUOUS, PREPOSTEROUS, VAPID, VAUCOUS, INCENSATE. Go ahead and look those words up because I doubt you can figure them out.
Shambo. Tsk tsk. Such a good person you are at the core. Naïve but good. But as Nietzsche once said "The problem with studying monsters is that in doing so you may become one." Don't get in bed with the wrong guy! Napoleon is dynamite.
Danger Dave: Keep the wit coming. You remind me of my man Tyson with the quick sly wit and boyish smile. You are becoming one of my favorites! Keep it up.
Laura you sexy grandma you: That was a close one. Better keep winning immunity.
Jaison: A young dragon slayer in training once said (i.e. Erik) "Jaison is pretty much worthless" Yep that pretty much sums it up. You may have won the battle tonight but you have not won the war.
Mick: Could you please do something? Strategy? Challenge? Witty comments?
Brett: Keep it up. Your boyish charm and smile continues to win hearts and minds and keep you under he radar.
John Boy: I like the way you handled yourself pre tribal in strategizing with the girls. Smart. Remember a woman's intuition. And winning first immunity for the guys. Are you willing to walk the way of the noble warrior and join my alliance? I hope so because I am losing numbers!
Erik the Viking, your new name. You spoke truth in tribal, every time. You did not care about the repercussions. You played with heart. Your head held high. You swam up stream when everyone else went with the flow. Your eloquence continued to flow as the stream even as your neck was on the chopping block. And even in defeat your head was held high and you gave it your all. Oh yeah, one more thing… use your idol. Wait! Too late.
You have made it to the sixth layer of Dragon Slayer heaven. Well done my son.
A view from a window!
'Survivor: Samoa' recap: Cannibals on the loose!
Instead of devouring their common enemy, the members of Galu begin eating their own
The Devils curse, have Russell's lies doomed the Foa Foa?
The rhythmic beat of the drums could be heard in during mass! It was because of this that in 2009, the Samoan Gods decided that any tribe that was not Catholic would not be allowed to practice within on the island. Foa Foa beach, now deserted was the location where the early Voudoun held their rituals. The Voodoo religion is based on one main supreme deity and several demi-gods called Loas. The Loas are much to Voodoo as the Saints are to Catholicism, each one serving a specific purpose. In the language of the Dahomey tribes, the word Voodoo means Gods or Spirits. The Dahomians believed that these spirits had the ability to enter the worshippers. This was believed to be a valuable experience, warding off illness and misfortune. It was in the Foa Foa camp where the Voodoo Gods became irate with the Mandevil called Russell with the Houdini magic.
It was not uncommon for crosses of death, tiny coffins, and strange concoctions of Samoan smoothies or hidden immunity idol dolls to be found within the tribal camps. At dawn on the doorsteps and beaches of cast-a-ways warnings could be found. Sometimes there would be just a black candle or a black crepe wreath. Superstitious tribe members of the Galu tribe would constantly seek protection from such curses. Much of the Voodoo practitioners' spells that were sought after were for that of protection or uncrossing, removing hexes. The Galu being truthful, found another Hidden Immunity Idol dol which could hold off curses. One of the most common practices to protect one from evil curses was to scrub the feet of the Tribal Chieffront on the stoop of the hut with palm leaves. Many Samoans made Gris-Gris bags (good luck charms), and would wear them near the body or place them in the home. Rumor has it that doctors at Survivor hospital told of patients being brought in wearing their Gris-Gris bags and refusing to part with them. These bags were usually made up of a variety of herbs or even animal parts. One of the most powerful animals to use in Voodoo was the cat, particularly, a black cat.
Hmmmmmmm, maybe the curse is working!!!!!

The day after halloween is here, we got an hour of time back and I thought this blog was set for a later time. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh well, it's up and it didn't need viagra, so now it belongs to y'all, the posters! Happy November!
In Memory of the fallen Foa Foa members!
Lets hear from the fallen ones as they left!
OK,Ok …. so call me lazy, but the words are not in my mind tonight. I put together videos of the day after for each of the evicted Foa Foa gang so you could see them in a new light, or close your eyes and see them in a new dark!! For your approval, the ex-Foa Foa!!!
'Survivor Talk': Liz calls Russell a "male chauvinist pig"
Some guys have all the luck, some guys do nothing but complain ….
The new Chief!!
Surprisingly, in recovering from Russell Swan's evacuation, which prevented a planned double-boot, Survivor went for a full two extra challenges here. Bringing us this challenge, "Canoe Dueling." Oh well, more for Galu to win, we guess.
The challenge itself appears to involve racing out to canoes, doing some "fishing" (presumably for puzzle pieces), then bringing it all back to shore and doing puzzles.
So who wins? Galu wins it, since Liz is the final pre-jury boot. As further proof, photographer Monty Brinton made the trip back to camp with Foa Foa after the challenge, an honor he reserves for the losing tribe. So Galu wins the (final tribal?) immunity challenge
This episode should be taking care of the final pre-merge boot, before the merge at 12, and was necessitated by Russell Swan's fainting and removal in the (unfinished) Ep6 RC.
Who's most at risk? Well, Shambo was the slam-dunk Galu boot up until Ep6, when an alliance grew up around her, much to her own dismay. That would put Monica on the low end of the vote totals, if Galu returns to tribal council.
Liz was the decoy boot in Ep5, although it was clear from the hilariously dated clips used to build that storyline (some of which were from as far back as Ep2, when Russell didn't have his swimsuit, and was nearly clean-shaven) that either Russell has been nursing this grudge for a while, or he initially thought of it, but had bigger fish to fry, and has all but forgotten it. Either that, or he's just getting around to planting his "Russell seed" for the Liz boot. Probst seems to think so in his EW blog, anyway. Still, as of late Ep6, Liz and Natalie were both resigned to one of them being booted (and since we think Natalie may be the winner*, we're guessing she isn't booted).
Then there's Jaison, who seemed perfectly safe in Ep5, after coming close to quitting in Ep4, which got Russell's ire up. After admitting in the Ep5 tribal council that he trained for the U.S. water polo team, he now may be a traditional circa-merge boot target, for being too strong. Still, as of the Ep5 story, he's a less obvious target than Liz. Prior to Ep5, missyae said he's the last person to get booted, pre-merge. But following Ep5, the missyae line is that Liz gets the boot, instead.
Update: Never mind, Liz appears to be correct.
* Natalie got an apparently inaccurately positive edit in Ep5's Gross Food challenge, since her attempt at downing a smoothie was edited out completely (but present in the press photos, oops), and Ashley hinted that others had trouble with the smoothies in her interviews. Update: Jaison confirms this in the "Foa Foa's Bad Break" video on the CBS site: "Last time it was the food challenge where we had to chug the disgusting stuff, and we all know Natalie and Ashley aren't gonna be able to do that. So, you know, we're out on that."
Natalie also got a solo headshot as Probst said "turn this game around" at the Ep5 tribal council, and got to allay Mick's fears of a post-merge decimation of Foa Foa in Ep6. Not to mention that Probst keeps mentioning her, for no apparent reason, in his EW blog.

Coach | Mother Nature Can Kick Your Ass!
October 26, 2009
What a beautiful, powerful, deep and dramatic episode. I am not just saying this because I am a former contestant but because the producers did an incredible job on this one. Did you see the cinematography? The drama? Life and death! Powerful and moving. And how about the music!!! The musicians who wrote the music for this episode? Beautiful, powerful, deep and dramatic.
Ah, the great equalizer: Mother Nature. The Creator of the Universe unleashes a visceral viscosity of venom. Battling the elements will turn some people into men (gotta give credit to Mr. Umpaloompa for taking a bath in jeans) and breaks others (no one is buying the cool "it" factor anymore Jaison). You will see what you are made of when you live and breathe and eat and sleep in the wild. Indeed you will see down to your very core how tough you really are. But then, in a blink of an eye the wilderness can turn around and display such beauty, magnaniminity, passion and power.
And in the midst of it all: young samurai in the making Brett is sitting there with a smile on his face and a rational word on his lips. He looks clean and comfortable and well rested during a rainstorm. Incredible. And Erik starting to pray and talk like a young dragonslayer. Tribal speech is starting to sound like the grandmaster slayer himself. I love it. Two young warriors in the making.
The clouds, the storm, the waves. All dark indications and foreshadowing that all is not well with Russell S. He is hurt and he is hurt bad. A scary scene indeed to watch a strong man's body give out in the midst of battle. This goes to show you just how brutal this game can be. Galu has won the majority of the rewards. They have been well fed. Russell, their fearless leader looked good all morning around camp. And yet in the blink of an eye everything changes.
Yes I was a little harsh on you last week Russell, my warrior to be, but you have earned redemption and have left the game a true winner. You played and fought and pushed until your body could no further go on. You earned my respect this night for sure. Out of the seven layers of Viking heaven, I think you will reach the sixth layer. Well done. FYI, Evil Russell (aka Gollum), no matter where he ends up will not even make it to the first layer.
On to pre tribal debates: the arguments were repetitiveve and naïve. John, it doesn't take a rocket scientist (had to use the pun) to figure out that Shambo IS dangerous to your tribe. She has been to the other camp twice, and is much more personable than Monica. And girls… voting out someone who starts fire every day like Shambo? Your only excuse is that she wrote your name down last week? Hello??? Has anyone seen my season? That's the worst reason to vote someone out.
And in the end…it was all for naught. Double tribal. 13 people sitting there arguing about what is next to come and then Jeff gives them a free pass. Good night everybody. Sleep tight. Don't let the rain freeze you or the rain soak you. Wait isn't it raining non stop? Should anyone be complaining about lack of water. Hello? Open your mouths, use a leaf, leave your water bottles in the open. But alas…I digress.
So what have we learned from this episode? Mother Nature can kick your ass! But hopefully there is something more profound lurking around your thoughts. The princess put it best last week when she said "it was during the toughest moments on my season that I remember the clearest and those which made me a forged sword of iron character" or something like that.
It is indeed in the toughest of times that we not only reveal our mettle, but forge it as well. Every man and woman has a destiny to fulfill a dream to dream and a road to travel. Trials and tribulations come about for everyone. That's life, and if we develop perseverance and character along the way we can and will come to a fork in the road where there can be no turning back. And when the road less traveled is taken, with the right amount of introspection: it can and will lead to hope, understanding, wisdom, compassion, depth/breadth of character, passion, balance and of course love.
And this, my friends, is what life is all about.
Debbie | Here's to Hoping Jaison Blindsides Russell
October 26, 2009
Tonight was full of firsts- the first time a challenge was stopped and not completed and the first time in 19 seasons when Jeff was truly scared with the physical condition and safety of a cast member.
Russell's tears said it all. He broke my heart. When you are in the game, the last thing you want is to be pulled from the game for medical reasons. When Joe was medically removed in our season, we had just merged. It makes everything you are going through so real and you realize how fragile your body is and your existence in the game can change in a moment.
Russell S. was my one of my favorites; therefore, I was sad to see him go. He is a proud man, a hard worker and always tried to lead by example. Watching a true leader crumble was painful. Knowing the Survivor family and medical team, I feel confident they made the right decision and hopefully, Russell will quickly recover.
Rain and misery was the focus for tonight's episode. Solid rain and only 15 days into the game will make anyone contemplate quitting. The end is not in sight and as Eric stated, "Your biggest fear is it is not going to quit raining." Mick also stated that he was somewhat jealous of Ashley having her torch extinguished. These thoughts are prevalent when you are in pure misery. Once again, I hate to do it, but I have to give "little Russell" credit for his strong mental focus. He is not letting the elements detour his game plan. Plus, his physical ability seems to improve weekly. I am beginning to get nervous because I think he has the possibility of winning this game. I am hopeful that Jaison will blindside him since he knows Russell has an idol. It would be a great twist to this game.
I know from experience when it is cold and rainy, your desire is to do nothing, but sit and try to find comfort somewhere. Memories surfaced of sitting in soaking wet clothes. It was by far the most miserable I have ever been in my life. Luckily, we did not endure the constant rains as this group of Survivors has endured.
There is not as much to comment on this week because there was limited movement around the camps. Come on Jaison, give us some excitement and blindside Russell. Galu, who is your next leader? They have some big shoes to fill. Hopefully, Samoa will get some reprieve from the rain and everyone will start playing the strategic game again.

Alcoa And Ma'aden Break Ground For Middle East's First Automotive Products Aluminum Rolling Mill
Alcoa (NYSE:AA) and The Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma'aden) today broke ground for construction of expanded rolling mill capabilities at their combined aluminum complex in Ras Al Khair, Saudi Arabia. The expanded capabilities will enable the facility to supply aluminum automotive, building and construction sheet and foil stock to the Kingdom's developing new industry and other global markets beginning in 2014, positioning the project to capture growing demand for aluminum from the automotive, building and construction sectors.
Ma'aden President and CEO Engineer Khalid Al Mudaifer said the new sheet products integrated rolling and surface treatment complex is an exciting step for Saudi Arabia as it enters the global aluminum industry and demonstrates the power of the partnership created by Ma'aden and Alcoa.
"As we break ground today, we do so knowing that our joint venture with Alcoa has a vote of confidence from one of the most prestigious manufacturers in the global automotive industry. From this foundation we will see the growth of an industry that will create opportunities for career development and downstream business growth for Saudi Arabian citizens for many generations to come," Engr Mudaifer said.
Alcoa Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld said that the addition of the new automotive sheet products capabilities was a natural extension of the government's vision to develop world-class downstream manufacturing enterprises in Saudi Arabia, and further leveraged Alcoa's expertise in the market.
"Today we are seeing the tremendous potential of the Ma'aden-Alcoa joint venture become reality. Alcoa has been bringing innovative solutions to the automotive industry for 100 years and together with Ma'aden, we are now positioned at a new intersection of commerce in the Middle East to capture profitable growth. Every individual who has played a role in achieving this historic milestone today should feel proud of their contributions, and I thank them," Kleinfeld said. Editor's Note: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) issued a press release yesterday announcing it has signed a letter of intent to explore the possibility of setting up an automotive facility in Saudi Arabia. Although discussions between JLR and the Saudi Government are at a preliminary stage, opportunities have been identified in aluminum component production, an area where JLR has a leadership position. About the Ma'aden Alcoa joint venture In its initial phases, the joint venture will develop a fully integrated industrial complex which will become the world's preeminent and lowest-cost producer of primary aluminum, alumina and aluminum products, with access to the growing markets of the Middle East and beyond. The complex comprises:- A bauxite mine with an initial capacity of 4,000,000 metric tons per year
- An alumina refinery with an initial capacity of 1,800,000 metric tons per year
- An aluminum smelter with an initial capacity of 740,000 metric tons per year
- A rolling mill that will be the first in the Middle East capable of producing food grade can sheet, as well as sheet for automotive, building and construction applications. Upon completion, the mill will be one of the most technically-advanced mills in the world.

Sony Snapshots - NAB 2008 Day 0
Some highlights of what Sony is showing
By Adam Wilt | April 14, 2008
PMW-EX3 with 2/3" cine lens, Sony HDD recorder
Sony's Juan Martinez gave me a night-before-the-show tour of the Sony booth (really a miniature city; "booth" doesn't do it justice), and here are some of the highlights from a camera operator's perspective.
The EX3 will be to the EX1 what the HDV S270 is to the Z7: a higher-end variant using the same basic imager and architecture.
- 3 half-inch CMOS chips with true 1920x1080 resolution; XDCAM HD EX recording on dual SxS cards.
- "Chainsaw" form factor, similar to Canon's removable-lens DV and HDV camcorders.
- Interchangeable lenses (the camera comes with a removable version of the EX1's Fujinon 14x, using a new "wide mouth" mount. Into the wide mouth mount you can fit 1/2" or 2/3" mount adapters, complete with hot-shoe lens connectors, as well as EX3 wide mouth mount lenses. The wide mouth allows fitting 1/2" and 2/3" adapters with no change in flange depth; it's really a "mount for lens adapters" as much as it's a "mount for lenses").
- TC in, TC out, Genlock, Remote-panel port, HD-SDI, dedicated composite (BNC) and Y/C (S-video) ports, along with the usual USB and 4-pin i.LINK and mini-D-shell component ports.
- Some of the prototypes are showing a vertical "head brace" that works with the shoulder brace to register the camera against your body. The combo makes for a much nicer handholding experience than the EX1 offers. The head brace may or may not make it into production.
- Gorgeous EVF. The EX1's LCD has been encapsulated in an articulated EVF housing (it adjusts side to side, up and down, and back to front) with a flip-up eyepiece. Magnification is excellent—you're not peering at a tiny image, but watching a BIG screen, which makes focusing easier and more certain.
- Optional 60GB disk recorder that plugs in via an SxS slot. Remember the Specialized Communications that plugged into a P2 slot? Same idea.
- Same 1920x1080 1/2" Exmor CMOS imagers.
- Price: "Under $13,000" with stock 14x lens.
- Shipping: later this year.
PMW-EX3 with standard 14x lens

All Red One camera bodies (currently released) can be redeemed for $17,500 towards purchase of a Red Epic 5K camera. This according to the Red.com page. Very interesting. Sounds like Red One is obsolete already. But that's a really interesting deal…depending on how expensive the Epic is!

I like it, but it is just to much of a Canon rip off! They should design something original.

Well Kids?
Sony,JVC,Pansonic and Canon are gonna be getting it up the Yazoo! from RED ONE. With the introduction of the NEW 3K HD Cam @ the 2008 Nab show.
As they ALL! ( Out & Out Refuse) to create & release into the ALL IMPORTANT indi and Pro market, an HD Cam with a NOISELESS image in LOW light for under $5 Grand. Now they will learn a very valuable lesson. When the $ 3000,00 SCARLET is released in 2009, NO pro will ever purchase a camera form any of the BIG companies again. They Didn't listen to us for the past 6 years…. Well NOW! they will.
Check it out…

Actually curious about the rail system used on the EX3. Looks like a 19mm but with a riser that could be used for DOF adapter setups.
Also fun to see after all those years Sony is still partnered with miller.
The EX3 is cool if its under 8000$$ if you want to use something like the Letus ultimate at 4500$$ you are TO close to a RED one body. Sure you need another 15K for glass and mounts/VF (to start with..)
The nice thing with the EX series is: buy the camera and you have the total package, unlike RED one.
Scarlet is going to be a tornado! Seriously, every crashcam is going to be scarlet. Every extreme sport freak is going to buy one.
But I still want a EX3
Matt Efsic: | April, 25, 2008
Lied to again by Sony. At HD Expo, only 2 months ago (after buying 7 EX-1s). After listening to the multiple issues we were having with the cameras, Sony reps flatly denied any upgraded models being released for at least 1 year.
AHMAD BASSIRI: | May, 14, 2008
I want alot information about this camcorder.
does it useful for home photography?
which is it the best professional camcorder for home
How much is costs the moddel of PMW-EX3?
Maarten Toner: | May, 14, 2008
If you want to takes photos buy a nice canon or nikon for $800, this camera will be around 8000.- euro or $12000 US. HD resolution is about the same as a 2 megapixel camera if you shoot progressive and i doubt it has a photo option

Okay so i just got her CD and i am like this is the best cd ever. u all have to check her out, and if u know who she is already lets talk about what u think of how increadably crazy awsome she is. www.alixolson.com (i think)
I read America's on Sale in this book, Revolutionary Voices- it's edited by Amy Sutton, if anyone's looking for it. I also read the one about On Coming Home With Short Hair, and I loved it. I didn't realize she had a cd, but if I can find it, I'm going to buy it.
i saw her at UMass-Amherst (my school) when we hosted the Big Gay Conference (New England GLBT college conference thingie) last year. she's absolutely amazing. this little tiny person with such big ideas and such a great way of voicing them. she's damn funny. so funny, and the stuff she says makes you hurt when you think about it...
of course, the first song on her CD is the best... mwhahahaha... yay fractured fairy tales!
"I'm never sure if I have gender dysphoria or species dysphoria. I often try to explain that I'm really a starfish trapped in a human body and I'm very new to your planet." ~ Patrick Califia
I saw her this fall on campus in Ottawa, in all of her pigtailed spoken word glory. And she is amazing.

Authors: Written and researched by Lonely Planet, Simon Richmond, and Celeste Brash.
About Lonely Planet: Started in 1973, Lonely Planet has become the world's leading travel guide publisher with guidebooks to every destination on the planet, as well as an award-winning website, a suite of mobile and digital travel products, and a dedicated traveller community. Lonely Planet's mission is to enable curious travellers to experience the world and to truly get to the heart of the places they find themselves in.
TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2012 and 2013 winner in Favorite Travel Guide category
'Lonely Planet guides are, quite simply, like no other.' - New York Times
'Lonely Planet. It's on everyone's bookshelves; it's in every traveller's hands. It's on mobile phones. It's on the Internet. It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' - Fairfax Media (Australia)
Of course the Lonely Planet is the bible for south-east Asia, but reading it on Kindle is a nightmare. I hope others are different, but I basically found it useless given the maps are unreadable (full map is tiny and reading a map in eight different segments is not helpful). Flicking back and forth on the basic Kindle wastes a ton of time. So save yourself the trouble and buy the real book! I had to. It was driving me nuts.
Does the trick for basic planning and site seeing. The maps and directions are weak for anything outside the strict city centers of Melaka and Penang even though the book makes several references to sites outside those areas. There should be some more information there. The book fortunately provides some basic bus info for Penang, but should go a step further in supporting the main routes with some simple maps, as the local authority doesn't get the job done in that department. Bottom line is that you should find a way to purchase more detailed maps with broader scope for Penang especially and mark it up with bus and other info before departing.
I much prefer Fodor's or Frommer's guides, but couldn't find them for KL. This book is unfortunately not organized well by neighborhood. That means you need to look at where you are on a master map, find the neighborhood map, look for listings, then flip to the overall "Restaurants" listing to find the one that is close to you (for instance). Also, the attractions are not organized alphabetically so it's a hunting expedition every time you look for one. Keep a supply of post-it flags handy so you can easily find those 3 locations in the book.

A container is the space around us that either heals or harms, protects or infects. Safe containers promote growth. Cracked containers prevent it. Most of us have cracked containers. Cracks are formed from our story, abusive relationships, dysfunctional families, and life experiences that have caused us some version of trauma or pain. Building a safe container is the beginning of a better life.
JoinYour truth released. An honest raw look at self. Vulnerability. Letting go of shame. The Drawing board. You cannot build anything without first practicing transparency. Your solid self. Soil.
Finding voice. Drawing lines. Self alignment. Creating room for revelations. Connecting dots. The blueprint. Seeds.
Becoming. Reuniting with self. Building worth. Like pedaling a bike, practicing concepts in transparency and stance in your everyday life will keep your container safe and strong. Growth
Discovering the angry therapist was like winning the jackpot. The know that I am not the only one that things and feels this way allowed me to confidently build a new container and more on with my life, shedding all the fear and anger in pursuit that little flicker of a dream I've always guarded. Working with the Angry Therapist not only answers the questions "What the F*** is going on" but also gives you the resources you need to figure out how to solve the problem.
I used to think of "therapy" as something I would go to for 50 mins once a week when I was struggling. Since finding this site, I have changed my entire outlook on mental health. It is a practice, one that must be exercised every single day, through strengthening positive persectives and learning to think in constructive ways that get me to where I want to go. Having access to helpful tools and a community of like minded people any time I need support has changed my life.
I'm kind of shocked at my progress in just a few short months. The biggest thing that I have been helped with is finding my voice. When you find your voice, you stop talking shit. When you shot taking shit, you realize how good it feels and you stop taking even more shit. When people see that you won't take their shit, they either treat you differently (better) or they go away (this is actually a good thing).
John Kim is a modern day farmer. He tills the soils of hearts through his therapeutic approach so you can welcome a harvest of riches: transparency, authenticity, love, and truth. His book is good but that should just be the befinning. To truly gain from his wisdom, humor, and gentleness you must experience him
Finding your site has helped me gain some much neede perspective into what I am calling the sweet struggles of this past year. I have learned so much about the nature of growth from you and the community.
Join Team Angry and take a completely different approach to things. One being he shares his story. I found that his story and my story are very similar. Being able to identify with someone who has been there and done that makes a huge difference. I never understood hos I'm supposed to trust someone to help me if I don't know anything about them or what they have been through.
Between John, his blog, and his team I always manage to find exatly the wisdom or support I need in any give situation. His "shot glass" style of writing just cuts through all of the BS and delivers an amazing impact. Having access to this community online and on my phone at any time I need it is so valuable
You know that cycle that comes back with full force each time? I've been there time and time again untill I reached out to Angry. Believe in Angry because he does it even if you don't know how to believe in yourself. Don't hesitate and learn to be alive!!!

The announcement of the competition's winners in April coincided with the launch of New Designs New Orleans, a nonprofit that will focus on rebuilding communities locally and around the Gulf Coast. The development organization was co-founded by Gerry Billes and Jeanne Souders, an associate at the firm and co-manager of the design competition. Souders also is principal at Billes' product design division, Billes Products. Through New Designs New Orleans, Billes Architecture plans to actually build some of the winning house designs through partnerships with other organizations. However, the firm has not yet decided which of the designs it will build first; it may depend on the organization with which New Designs New Orleans partners.
Billes would like to see the city's architecture move in a modern direction, with a greater focus on affordability and sustainability—particularly in areas hit hardest by the hurricane. Although modern sensibilities aren't often associated with cities as architecturally unique as New Orleans, the success of the high-profile Make It Right project—which draws on designs that are mostly modern takes on vernacular architecture—has shown how attractive, livable, and complementary to existing aesthetics modern design can be.
In Billes' experience, most developers involved in post-Katrina rebuilding have little interest in modern design and mostly want to match the style of new housing to the style of the neighborhood, but he reminds them, "There is no neighborhood, now.
"I'm not against preservation; I was and still am a preservationist," Billes continues. "But in these areas that have been devastated you almost have a clean slate, in a way, to use that ground for new thinking, for sustainable design, for modern design, and I think that's a great opportunity. And we haven't taken advantage of it as much as we should."
The architectural makeup of New Orleans' residential sections will most certainly change, simply because of the new building and flood-level requirements, but Billes thinks the stage is set for modern design to win converts among local residents.
"People are used to living in certain types of houses, and I think that's why an awful lot of the Greek Revival or Victorian styles have been so popular," Billes says. "That doesn't mean they wouldn't like a modern building—that's just what they're used to. The more these modern designs come online, the more acceptable they're going to be to a general population."

Handling Campus Homophobia
related articles
you might also like…
Most LGBTQ students will confront homophobia at some point in their college career. The experience will no doubt be challenging, but it does not need to be traumatic. If you speak out against homophobia when you encounter it, you'll emerge stronger and better equipped to deal with similar situations in the future.
Here are some tips on how to respond when the going gets tough:
Remember that it's not really about you. Even when it seems like a personal attack, keep in mind that the roots of homophobia are irrational fear. Homophobia is the result of the offender's biases and prejudices; it has nothing to do with you.
Gently educate. Some students arrive at college not knowing that a word or phrase is offensive. They may come from a place where there were few visible LGBTQ people or where homophobic terms were common. Try calmly saying "It offends me when you use those words or make those jokes." Even a simple "Hey, that's not cool" can go a long way.
Stay safe. Never challenge someone if you fear for your physical safety. Be sure you know the people on campus who can assist you with confronting homophobia. Know your campus anti–discrimination and harrassment policies, and find out who to contact if you encounter bias. Write down the number for the campus police.
Assess the situation before responding. When deciding how to respond, it's important to consider multiple factors. Where did the situation take place? Do you have the time to adequately address it? How well do you know the people involved? Depending on the answers, you may speak up right away or say "I'd really like to talk about what just happened, can we get together later?" Or you may simply choose to walk away.
Use your allies. Sometimes it can be helpful to enlist a friend, teacher or administrator to confront homophobia. These people may have a level of authority or a personal relationship with the offender that you don't have. Identify allies when you get to college so you can ask for their help when you need it.
Take time to practice and prepare. Some colleges offer training to help you practice responding to common types of campus homophobia. The more strategies and approaches you have up your sleeve, the better equipped you'll be.
Step back when you need to. When a situation arises, it's important to evaluate whether you are mentally prepared to confront it. Seek support from friends, family and allies. Find ways to channel your negative feelings, be it getting some exercise or talking things out with a friend.

Review: Invoxia Audioffice
Hold All Calls
Rating: 5/10 Recommended with reservations
- $299
- · More info from Invoxia
- Reviewed by Michael S. Lasky
- November 13, 2013 |
- 6:30 am |
- Categories: Home Audio & Video, Household, Reviews
On looks alone, you could easily mistake the Invoxia's Audioffice for an Apple product. The smooth, white and aluminum contours of the conference room speakerphone/audio dock all but match the sleek lines of the iPhone 5s, which is its intended partner. But I doubt Apple would market a so-so product like the Audioffice.
What distinguishes Invoxia's offering from other Bluetooth speakers is its addition of a landline-style handset and a charging/syncing dock for either the iPhone 5s or any iPad. The Audioffice is intended for home-office or conference-room use. But unless your cell phone service never drops out — in which case I'm switching to your carrier! — I question the wisdom of relying solely on a wireless voice connection for business conversations.
Thanks to its larger speakers, the Audioffice's speakerphone easily bested the iPhone's own speakerphone. But it was just the reverse on outgoing calls, during which I was told the sound was not as clear as it was speaking directly into the iPhone. The tide turned once again when I tested the Audioffice's built-in handset, which added some definition to callers' voices, particularly in the midrange and bass, when compared to the iPhone sound. Callers also reported they could hear us better over the Audioffice handset. But because the handset relies on a sensor instead of a hardware switch, hanging it up did not always end the call. The handset is mounted on a triangular block that uses magnets to adhere to the top of the base, which also seemed to prevent calls from disconnecting.
Music reproduction through the Bluetooth-enabled six-speaker array is good, though not outstanding, with solid bass reproduction. Decent midrange and treble issue from the front and sides, producing a near circular field. But higher volumes lead to unpleasant sonic distortion. (As with the iPhone, when a call comes in, music is muted until the end of the call.) The Audioffice's speaker performance ultimately cannot match that of other Bluetooth speakers in the same price range.
Worse, the unit's sleek design is marred by what you have to endure to put it together. The Audioffice comes in a jigsaw-like package of adapters and cables to put together with only barebones assembly instructions. In fact, I had to request a second review unit after inadvertently inserting one part incorrectly rendered the first one inoperable.
While it provides good sound for phone calls, the Audioffice is not ready to replace your existing conference-room phone or Bluetooth speaker system.

Update: More Platforms With MontaVista Linux 6
Montavista now supports x86, ARM 5 and 6 and MIPS as market-specific embedded Linux.
Released in May, version 6 of the embedded Linux operating system now has Versatile ARM 1176 and 926 (ARM versions 5 and 6), the Freescale MPCs 8377, 8349 and 8572, Intel x86 platforms with Pentium and Xeon processors, a number of MIPS and the developer board Xilinx ML 507 on its list of platform-specific distros. On the list of compatible boards however, the new combinations of Linux 6 and the new platforms do not appear. According to the MontaVista 6 FAQs, queries about availability and costs will be answered by the sales department.
MontaVista Linux 6 (MVL6) was released in May. With the new version, the company has adjusted its release policy of aiming embedded Linux in various versions towards individual hardware platforms. These MSDs (Market Specific Distribution) were until now available for Intel Atom, the ARM-based OMAP platform from Texas Instruments and some Power PC and ARM processors from Freescale.
Update: When asked exactly how the software can be obtained, MontaVista explained that separate licenses for MontaVista Linux 6 and SDK can be purchased by emailing the local sales department. Once the transaction is complete, a code will be sent allowing access to "MontaVista Zone" where the relevant downloads are available.
MontaVista Linux distributions, with tools for 1 or 2 developers, start at US$17,000, depending on the processor the customer is using. The more
developers using the software, the higher the price.

As I start putting antique Vermont maps as overlays in Google Earth, I found that Google Earth might not be the best way to "digitize" maps. The complexity of the earth surface steals the thunder of the map details. And Vermont looks absolutely ugly when patched by a giant map. The maps have already been […]

While looking for materials on the Nero's Golden House project, I stumbled across another project called Rome Reborn. This project is the brainchild of a man working at the University of Virginia. Essentially it's a collaboration project between historians, classicists, and virtual model makers to recreate Rome and exhibit it during its stages of evolution […]

Friendly: Union Defeat Pumas UNAM 1-0
- Updated: March 24, 2013
Chester, PA – While still a rather brisk day, at least it wasn't hailing down at PPL Park yesterday afternoon as the Union took on Mexican side Pumas UNAM. Despite the friendly tag on this match, fans who ventured down to Chester were treated to a match that played more like a battle than an exhibition. Just seven minutes in, referees were trying to break up arguments and prevent fisticuffs from flying.
Philadelphia, coming off two straight wins, went with a Starting XI made up primarily of the Union's future. Players like Jimmy McLaughlin and Christian Hernandez, who currently see more of the reserve side of the game, not only got to suit up for this match, but got to start as well.
"It was great to get the start and have an awesome opportunity to play against one of the best teams in Mexico," McLaughlin told PSL, "It is also always an honor to play in front of the fans in PPL Park. It was a great experience and I have definitely learned a lot from playing against such good opposition."
Antoine Hoppenot, the Union's usual super-sub, also got the starting nod at forward for the first 45+ minutes of the match. Although the first half ended scoreless, both Pumas and the young Union side on the field had opportunities to net a first half goal, but a mix of fouls and good defense left the second half up for the taking.
Union manager John Hackworth knew that his team needed to go on the attack and try to get a win in the second half. Just like last week, Hackworth made it very clear to his team before match time that PPL was to be the fortress it was back in 2011. That's why Hackworth brought on the potent attacking force of Sebastien Le Toux, Michael Farfan, and Jack McInerney. The change would pay off just seven minutes later, when in the 68th minute, Farfan took a great pass from rookie Aaron "Thor" Wheeler and put it in the back of the Pumas net, securing the victory for the U.
It's back to business that matters this Saturday, as the Union head to Harrison, NJ to take on the Red Bulls in an early, yet important match. With Montreal still undefeated, Philadelphia will look not just to get their first win at Red Bull Arena, but to also stay within the top four in the Eastern Conference. The match will be broadcast nationally on the NBC Sports Network, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET.

Understand Guitar Fast On line The Nice & the Bad
There are numerous sites that offer guitar instructions, some even for free. For other interpretations, please consider having a glance at: blues riffs. The segments are usually designed by guitarists which have already found success in music and are now trying to provide some useful ideas to rookie musicians. There are both disadvantages and advantages if you'd like to understand guitar quickly on the web.
The Nice
Many of us do not necessarily wish to learn to play your guitar like benefits. They just want to learn several chords to play at campfires and impress their friends or family using their music playing skills. This type of person maybe not thinking about investing time and money right into a more complete understanding program, such as private guitar lessons. For them, to be able to learn guitar quickly on the web is a good point.
You might not have the time and resources to complete it, even if you'd prefer to learn to play practicing the guitar well. We discovered flamenco guitar by browsing Google. Traveling back and forth to guitar classes might not be for you, if you have employment, a household and numerous errands to operate every single day. To be able to learn guitar quickly by practicing when you find some spare time and never having to leave your house is a good thing.
On the web instructions in many cases are more dynamic and effective in keeping you focused than a theory book. They usually include design, lively pictures and test looks to produce it easier for you to understand. If you get caught, you usually can ask the guitarist providing those lessons for help.
And last, although not least, online guitar lessons are very cheap, sometimes even free. In contrast, private instructions are often expensive and you have to cover per hour. Not everyone wants to spend therefore much money into learning to play the guitar. If you are concerned with English, you will possibly desire to study about analysis.
The Bad
As tempted as you might be to understand guitar rapidly online, you've to take into account the drawbacks as well. Nothing comes even close to a great teacher, If you are serious about playing your guitar. A standard teaching program can be only provided by online lessons, learning style on while a can tailor his/her approach.
On the web instructions can't actually focus on your specific learning needs. You could desire to focus more on certain aspects, but a teaching plan is typical and tries to respond to the wants of common guitarists. In contrast, an exclusive teacher provides you with individual attention and respond to your unique needs.
With online lessons, no one will applaud you when you are advancing and get you motivated. An exclusive teacher can provide you with positive feedback and knows when necessary how to increase your enthusiasm. Visit guitar lesson to compare the meaning behind this viewpoint.
Eventually, you could be making some mistakes you'll not recognize and find yourself playing badly. With online lessons, nobody is likely to be there to improve them. A personal teacher can spot your mistakes fast and correct them in time before they turn into long-term habits.
If you prefer to really learn to play the guitar well, it could be better to allocate a little more time and work to the educational process. Nevertheless, for many people who do not desire to become superstars or do not have the full time to do it, the chance to learn guitar quickly on line is really great.

Deadline Hollywood reports on a survey on entertainment consumption among US and UK consumers. It found that while 28% of US consumers said that movies were a "frequent source of entertainment" two years ago, the most recent survey shows that figure at 3%. No wonder movie studios are so concerned!
The VP of Global Brand Marketing for Activision summed it up as, "You can't market your way out of a bad product anymore," because consumers quickly tell others on social media what they really thought. There are so many other options that if a movie doesn't sound good, it's easier and cheaper to watch something at home.
The usual speculation follows in comments about whether the decline is due to poor quality product, movies being too expensive, a bad experience in theaters (talkers, cellphones, ads), or some combination of all of the above. I think a smart way to approach the problem would be to target demographics that still go to the movies, when something is presented they want to see, like older viewers and women, but studio chiefs still seem interested most in chasing the teenage male.
"…poor quality product, movies being too expensive, a bad experience in theaters (talkers, cellphones, ads), or some combination of all of the above."
Bingo. Why can't the studio execs see this? Have they actually been to a theater?
Another thing to consider: theatres' emphasis on 3D. I live within walking distance of a big theatre (16 screens, I think). For the last month or so, half to three-quarters of those screens have been filled with 3D films – which cost more than the already expensive 2D films – every weekend. The theatre pushes 3D films so strongly that the films I am interested in get pushed out too quickly for me to watch (or never make it into the theatre to begin with).
I've seen the occasional 3D film, but they're a once-a-year kind of thing. If there aren't any regular movies to watch, I won't go.
I wear glasses, and I really hate the whole 3-D movement, because having to wear one set of glasses over my own gives me a headache. The main reason I can't go to as many movies in the theater is family dynamics – my husband, younger son, and I must babysit older son's baby a lot, and older son and his wife work different shifts.
I enjoy adult dramas. There are, admittedly, not many released during the summer, but this year there are fewer than ever. When the theatres start again showing movies like A Separation, Melancholia, Drive, Young Adult, Carnage, Margin Call, The Ides of March, Michael Clayton, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, The Tree of Life, etc. I'll have my wallet open.

Tricyclic antidepressants for chronic pain
Generic Name | Brand Name |
amitriptyline | |
desipramine | Norpramin |
doxepin | Sinequan, Zonalon |
imipramine | Tofranil |
nortriptyline | Aventyl, Pamelor |
How It Works
Antidepressants increase the levels of certain brain chemicals that improve mood and regulate pain signals. Low doses of antidepressants also relieve pain, although it is not known exactly how.
Why It Is Used
These medicines are often used in lower doses when they are used to treat chronic pain than when they are used to treat depression. In low doses, these medicines relieve pain. In higher doses, they have antidepressant effects.
These medicines are reserved for long-term (chronic) pain syndromes. They may be more effective if you also have depression or chronic pain caused by nerve problems such as shingles or diabetic neuropathy. They may help relieve sleeping problems and fatigue caused by chronic pain. Your doctor may prescribe antidepressants for use at bedtime because they can cause drowsiness.
How Well It Works
These medicines are helpful in the management of chronic pain, especially nerve pain.1
Side Effects
Side effects vary among the different medicines in this class. If you have severe or intolerable side effects with one medicine, you may try another medicine.
Most side effects decrease as therapy continues. Common side effects include:
- Constipation.
- Dry mouth.
- Blurred vision.
- Drowsiness and/or fatigue.
- Sedation or confusion.
- Lowered blood pressure.
- Weight gain.
- Tremors and/or sweating.
- Inability to urinate.
- Increased appetite.
- Decrease in sexual function or ability.
- Glaucoma becoming worse.
FDA Advisory. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, a person taking antidepressants should be watched for warning signs of suicide. This is especially important at the beginning of treatment or when the doses are changed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
These medicines may take several weeks to start working.
These medicines are generally not prescribed for people who have serious heart problems.
Nortriptyline and desipramine are more commonly used in older adults because these medicines are less likely than amitriptyline to cause constipation and to lower blood pressure.

Beyond Adoption Intention: Online Communities and Member Motivation to Contribute Longitudinally
Xuequn Wang Washington State University, USA |
Paul Clay Washington State University, USA |
As online communities are becoming more and more relevant to business, it is critical to understand why individuals are motivated to contribute content longitudinally. In this paper, we draw on existing literature on motivation and technology characteristics to conceptualize a model of longitudinal content contribution. We view longitudinal content contribution phenomenon as a recursive process of interaction between contributors, other participants and IT artifact of online communities. We conclude with the implications of our conceptual model for future research.
