From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The term Oedipus complex (or, less commonly, Oedipal complex) denotes the emotions and ideas that the mind keeps in the unconscious, via dynamic repression, that concentrates upon a child's desire to have sexual relations with the parent of the opposite sex (i.e. males attracted to their mothers, and females attracted to their fathers).[1][2] Sigmund Freud, who coined the term "Oedipus complex" believed that the Oedipus complex is a desire for the parent in both males and females; Freud deprecated the term "Electra complex", which was introduced by Carl Gustav Jung in regard to the Oedipus complex manifested in young girls. The Oedipus complex occurs in the third — phallic stage (ages 3–6) — of the five psychosexual development stages: (i) the oral, (ii) the anal, (iii) the phallic, (iv) the latent, and (v) the genital — in which the source of libidinal pleasure is in a different erogenous zone of the infant's body.
In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, a child's identification with the same-sex parent is the successful resolution of the Oedipus complex and of the Electra complex. This is a key psychological experience that is necessary for the development of a mature sexual role and identity. Sigmund Freud further proposed that boys and girls experience the complexes differently: boys in a form of castration anxiety, girls in a form of penis envy; and that unsuccessful resolution of the complexes might lead to neurosis, pedophilia, and homosexuality. Men and women who are fixated in the Oedipal and Electra stages of their psychosexual development might be considered "mother-fixated" and "father-fixated". In adult life this can lead to a choice of a sexual partner who resembles one's parent.
Oedipus refers to a 5th-century BC Greek mythological character Oedipus, who unwittingly kills his father, Laius, and marries his mother, Jocasta. A play based on the myth, Oedipus Rex, was written by Sophocles, ca. 429 BC.
Modern productions of Sophocles' play were staged in Paris and Vienna in the 19th century and were phenomenally successful in the 1880s and 1890s. The Austrian psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud (1856–1939), attended. In his book The Interpretation of Dreams first published in 1899, he proposed that an Oedipal desire is a universal, psychological phenomenon innate (phylogenetic) to human beings, and the cause of much unconscious guilt. He based this on his analysis of his feelings attending the play, his anecdotal observations of neurotic or normal children, and on the fact that the Oedipal Rex play was effective on both ancient and modern audiences (he also claimed the play Hamlet was effective for the same reason).[4]
Freud described the man Oedipus:
His destiny moves us only because it might have been ours — because the Oracle laid the same curse upon us before our birth as upon him. It is the fate of all of us, perhaps, to direct our first sexual impulse towards our mother and our first hatred and our first murderous wish against our father. Our dreams convince us that this is so.[5]
A six-stage chronology of Sigmund Freud's theoretic evolution of the Oedipus complex is:
In classical psychoanalytic theory, the Oedipus complex occurs during the phallic stage of psychosexual development (age 3–6 years), when also occurs the formation of the libido and the ego; yet it might manifest itself at an earlier age.[2][7]
In the phallic stage, a boy's decisive psychosexual experience is the Oedipus complex — his son–father competition for possession of mother. It is in this third stage of psychosexual development that the child's genitalia are his or her primary erogenous zone; thus, when children become aware of their bodies, the bodies of other children, and the bodies of their parents, they gratify physical curiosity by undressing and exploring themselves, each other, and their genitals, so learning the anatomic differences between "male" and "female" and the gender differences between "boy" and "girl".
Psychosexual infantilism — Despite mother being the parent who primarily gratifies the child's desires, the child begins forming a discrete sexual identity — "boy", "girl" — that alters the dynamics of the parent and child relationship; the parents become objects of infantile libidinal energy. The boy directs his libido (sexual desire) upon his mother, and directs jealousy and emotional rivalry against his father — because it is he who sleeps with his mother. Moreover, to facilitate union with mother, the boy's id wants to kill father (as did Oedipus), but the pragmatic ego, based upon the reality principle, knows that the father is the stronger of the two males competing to possess the one female. Nonetheless, the boy remains ambivalent about his father's place in the family, which is manifested as fear of castration by the physically greater father; the fear is an irrational, subconscious manifestation of the infantile id.[8]
Psycho-logic defense — In both sexes, defense mechanisms provide transitory resolutions of the conflict between the drives of the id and the drives of the ego. The first defense mechanism is repression, the blocking of memories, emotional impulses, and ideas from the conscious mind; yet its action does not resolve the id–ego conflict. The second defense mechanism is identification, in which the boy or girl child adapts by incorporating, to his or her (super)ego, the personality characteristics of the same-sex parent. As a result of this, the boy diminishes his castration anxiety, because his likeness to father protects him from father's wrath in their maternal rivalry. In the case of the girl, this facilitates identifying with mother, who understands that, in being females, neither of them possesses a penis, and thus are not antagonists.[9]
Dénouement — Unresolved son–father competition for the psycho-sexual possession of the mother might result in a phallic stage fixation that leads to the boy becoming an aggressive, over-ambitious, and vain man. Therefore, the satisfactory parental handling and resolution of the Oedipus complex are most important in developing the male infantile super-ego. This is because, by identifying with a parent, the boy internalizes Morality; thereby, he chooses to comply with societal rules, rather than reflexively complying in fear of punishment.
In Analysis of a Phobia in a Five-year-old Boy (1909), the case study of the equinophobic boy "Little Hans", Freud showed that the relation between Hans's fears — of horses and of his father — derived from external factors, the birth of a sister, and internal factors, the desire of the infantile id to replace father as companion to mother, and guilt for enjoying the masturbation normal to a boy of his age. Moreover, his admitting to wanting to procreate with mother was considered proof of the boy's sexual attraction to the opposite-sex parent; he was a heterosexual male. Yet, the boy Hans was unable to relate fearing horses to fearing his father. As the treating psychoanalyst, Freud noted that "Hans had to be told many things that he could not say himself" and that "he had to be presented with thoughts, which he had, so far, shown no signs of possessing".[10]
Initially, Freud equally applied the Oedipus complex to the psychosexual development of boys and girls, but later modified the female aspects of the theory as "feminine Oedipus attitude" and "negative Oedipus complex";[11] yet, it was his student–collaborator Carl Jung, who, in 1913, proposed the Electra complex to describe a girl's daughter–mother competition for psychosexual possession of the father.[12]
In the phallic stage, a girl's Electra complex is her decisive psychodynamic experience in forming a discrete sexual identity (ego). Whereas a boy develops castration anxiety, a girl develops penis envy rooted in anatomic fact: without a penis, she cannot sexually possess mother, as the infantile id demands. Resultantly, the girl redirects her desire for sexual union upon father, thus progressing to heterosexual femininity, which culminates in bearing a child, who replaces the absent penis.[13] Furthermore, after the phallic stage, the girl's psychosexual development includes transferring her primary erogenous zone from the infantile clitoris to the adult vagina.
Freud thus considered a girl's negative Oedipus complex to be more emotionally intense than that of a boy, resulting, potentially, in a woman of submissive, insecure personality;[14] thus might an unresolved Electra complex, daughter–mother competition for psychosexual possession of father, lead to a phallic-stage fixation conducive to a girl becoming a woman who continually strives to dominate men (viz. penis envy), either as an unusually seductive woman (high self-esteem) or as an unusually submissive woman (low self-esteem). Therefore, the satisfactory parental handling and resolution of the Electra complex are most important in developing the female infantile super-ego, because, by identifying with a parent, the girl internalizes morality; thereby, she chooses to comply with societal rules, rather than reflexively complying in fear of punishment.
When Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) proposed that the Oedipus complex was psychologically universal, he provoked the evolution of Freudian psychology and the psychoanalytic treatment method, by collaborator and competitor alike.
In countering Freud's proposal that the psychosexual development of boys and girls is equal, that each initially experiences sexual desire (libido) for mother, and aggression towards father, student–collaborator Carl Jung counter-proposed that girls experienced desire for father and aggression towards mother via the Electra complex — derived from the 5th-century BC Greek mythologic character Electra, who plotted matricidal revenge with Orestes, her brother, against Clytemnestra, their mother, and Aegisthus, their stepfather, for their murder of Agamemnon, her father, (cf. Electra, by Sophocles).[15][16][17] Moreover, because it is native to Freudian psychology, orthodox Jungian psychology uses the term "Oedipus complex" only to denote a boy's psychosexual development.
In classical Freudian psychology the super-ego, "the heir to the Oedipus complex", is formed as the infant boy internalizes the familial rules of his father. In contrast, in the early 1920s, using the term "pre-Oedipal", Otto Rank proposed that a boy's powerful mother was the source of the super-ego, in the course of normal psychosexual development. Rank's theoretic conflict with Freud excluded him from the Freudian inner circle; nonetheless, he later developed the psychodynamic Object relations theory in 1925.
Whereas Freud proposed that father (the paternal phallus) was central to infantile and adult psychosexual development, Melanie Klein concentrated upon the early maternal relationship, proposing that Oedipal manifestations are perceptible in the first year of life, the oral stage. Her proposal was part of the Controversial discussions (1942–44) at the British Psychoanalytical Association. The Kleinian psychologists proposed that "underlying the Oedipus complex, as Freud described it . . . there is an earlier layer of more primitive relationships with the Oedipal couple".[18] Moreover, Klein's work lessened the central role of the Oedipus complex, with the concept of the depressive position.[19][20]
"For the post–Kleinian Bion, the myth of Oedipus concerns investigatory curiosity — the quest for knowledge — rather than sexual difference; the other main character in the Oedipal drama becomes Tiresias (the false hypothesis erected against anxiety about a new theory)".[21] Resultantly, "Bion regarded the central crime of Oedipus as his insistence on knowing the truth at all costs".[22]
From the postmodern perspective, Jacques Lacan argued against removing the Oedipus complex from the center of psychosexual developmental experience. He considered "the Oedipus complex — in so far as we continue to recognize it as covering the whole field of our experience with its signification . . . [that] superimposes the kingdom of culture" upon the person, marking his or her introduction to symbolic order.[23]
Thus "a child learns what power independent of itself is as it goes through the Oedipus complex . . . encountering the existence of a symbolic system independent of itself".[24] Moreover, Lacan's proposal that "the ternary relation of the Oedipus complex" liberates the "prisoner of the dual relationship" of the son–mother relationship proved useful to later psychoanalysts;[25] thus, for Bollas, the "achievement" of the Oedipus complex is that the "child comes to understand something about the oddity of possessing one's own mind . . . discovers the multiplicity of points of view".[26] Likewise, for Ronald Britton, "if the link between the parents perceived in love and hate can be tolerated in the child's mind . . . this provides us with a capacity for seeing us in interaction with others, and . . . for reflecting on ourselves, whilst being ourselves".[27] As such, in The Dove that Returns, the Dove that Vanishes (2000), Michael Parsons proposed that such a perspective permits viewing "the Oedipus complex as a life-long developmental challenge . . . [with] new kinds of Oedipal configurations that belong to later life".[28]
In 1920, Sigmund Freud wrote that "with the progress of psychoanalytic studies the importance of the Oedipus complex has become, more and more, clearly evident; its recognition has become the shibboleth that distinguishes the adherents of psychoanalysis from its opponents";[29] thereby it remained a theoretic cornerstone of psychoanalysis until about 1930, when psychoanalysts began investigating the pre-Oedipal son–mother relationship within the theory of psychosexual development.[30][31] Janet Malcolm reports that by the late 20th century, to the object relations psychology "avant-garde, the events of the Oedipal period are pallid and inconsequential, in comparison with the cliff-hanging psychodramas of infancy. . . . For Kohut, as for Winnicott and Balint, the Oedipus complex is an irrelevance in the treatment of severe pathology".[32] Nonetheless, ego psychology continued to maintain that "the Oedipal period — roughly three-and-a-half to six years — is like Lorenz standing in front of the chick, it is the most formative, significant, moulding experience of human life . . . If you take a person's adult life — his love, his work, his hobbies, his ambitions — they all point back to the Oedipus complex".[33]
Certain contemporary psychoanalysts agree with the idea of the Oedipus complex to different degrees; Hans Keller proposed it is so "at least in Western societies";[34] and others consider that ethnologists already have established its temporal and geographic universality.[35] Nonetheless, few psychoanalysts disagree that the "child then entered an Oedipal phase . . . [which] involved an acute awareness of a complicated triangle involving mother, father, and child" and that "both positive and negative Oedipal themes are typically observable in development".[36] Despite evidence of parent–child conflict, the evolutionary psychologists Martin Daly and Margo Wilson note that it is not for sexual possession of the opposite sex-parent; thus, in Homicide (1988), they proposed that the Oedipus complex yields few testable predictions, because they found no evidence of the Oedipus complex in people.[37]
In No More Silly Love Songs: A Realist's Guide to Romance (2010), Anouchka Grose says that "a large number of people, these days believe that Freud's Oedipus complex is defunct . . . 'disproven', or simply found unnecessary, sometime in the last century".[38] Moreover, from the post-modern perspective, Grose contends that "the Oedipus complex isn't really like that. It's more a way of explaining how human beings are socialised . . . learning to deal with disappointment".[38] The elementary understanding being that "You have to stop trying to be everything for your primary career, and get on with being something for the rest of the world".[39] Nonetheless, the open question remains whether or not such a post–Lacanian interpretation "stretches the Oedipus complex to a point where it almost doesn't look like Freud's any more".[38]
Parent-child and sibling-sibling incestuous unions are almost universally forbidden.[40] An explanation for this incest taboo is that rather than instinctual sexual desire, there is instinctual sexual aversion against these unions (See Westermarck effect). Steven Pinker wrote that "The idea that boys want to sleep with their mothers strikes most men as the silliest thing they have ever heard. Obviously, it did not seem so to Freud, who wrote that as a boy he once had an erotic reaction to watching his mother dressing. But Freud had a wet-nurse, and may not have experienced the early intimacy that would have tipped off his perceptual system that Mrs. Freud was his mother."

He is 21. How many games has Ross lightened up so far. granted he is a good kid. granted he is getting limited minutes. he is just another blue collar raptor.
I'm surprised no one is slamming Derozan, I mean, 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 34 minutes is awful. If Bargnani had a stat line like that everyone would be hating on him.
Drummond is extremely high risk NoProps is right, BUT he's selling him short with his potential. He could be an absolute monster is he gets disciplined and puts in some serious work in the gym. His fundamentals and touch are very poor but athletically he is off the charts and has an unreal body for the position. His upside is DeAndre Jordan meets Amare and that sounds like quite the prospect. He could be an anchor defensively and a vacuum of rebounds while dunking anything and everything with a sky high FG%. Will he get there it's highly unlikely but he is a fantastic piece to have on a team going to the lottery. He needs minutes bad
Very few big men play defense in their rookie year. Look at Val, his D is not any better than Drummonds.
It takes a while to learn D on the NBA level. He has the size and tools to be good at it. (JV still needs the size)
Well that was slightly rude.
and I take the fact that you really cant argue that with barely enough minutes to go around towards JV, Ed, and Amir on this team, Drummond would be a waist of a pick! The fact that you were suggesting to draft him, makes me happy you are not in close relations with BC. Ross is exactly what BC wanted, which is a silky shot and incredible defensive fundamentals (the IQ will come with experience). Ross currently, is the best at close outs on this team, and he is superior to everyone at bothering a jump shooter, with an incredible control of his body he contests shots the best.
Just let this "should've picked Drummond' crap go.
Not the biggest Colangelo fan but he made the right choice picking Ross over Drummond. I was actually hoping they'd take Rivers but based from i've seen Ross is a better player than Rivers. As for Drummond, obviously he looks good but he's a NATURAL center. Valanciunas is a NATURAL center. So it doesn't make sense.
Drummond/Monroe works for Detroit because Monroe is a natural POWER FORWARD. He's played out of position the last couple of seasons because they didn't have any C. Just like when Bosh was here.

Rick Miller Interview Recap
Rick Miller from Southern Culture On The Skids talks about the inspiration for their new album, Dig This!. He says, "I had some issues with my septic tank and I was digging some ditches. I needed some irrigation and water and soil conservation. I was digging a new ditch. And we had been thinking about [the album] Ditch Digging for a while and we needed to re-recorded it and that was the inspiration to get on it and get it done. And I thought, 'wow, dig this.'"
Rick Miller talks about the songs on Dig This! Basically he says that the album is new recordings of all the songs on the original Ditch Digging album. He says, "It's basically, Ditch Digging, the album, kind of souped up and revved up ala 2013." He goes on to say that he didn't have the discipline to go back and listen to the original versions of the songs the way Southern Culture On The Skids originally did them. So they just redid them form beginning. He says, "Lordy Lordy, we gave a psychedelic outro, kind of a Birdsy 12-string thing. We pumped up 'Too Much Pork For Just One Fork.' We fleshed out a couple of the country tunes 'My House Has Wheels' with some pedal steel. All the instrumentals got psychedelicized. We just brought the A game to it. I really like the way it turned out."
Rick Miller sets up "Ditch Digging." He says "It's pretty long. It's got a great groove."
[Calvin plays "Ditch Digging" from Dig This! by Southern Culture On The Skids.]
Rick Miller talks about Southern Culture On The Skids' songs being 20 years old. He says, "That was one of the funnest things about doing this. The original record came out twenty years ago. This year was the band's 30th year anniversary. Dave and Mary came on the band in '87 and '88 and nothing's changed since then."
Rick Miller talks about combining southern rock and surf guitar and the evolution of the Southern Culture On The Skids sound. He says, "When we first started out we were much more of a Cramps sort of punk thing. Then we morphed into a country thing. We started playing with a guy named Michael Kelsh who was laying lap steel. We got more into a country thing and lost all out fans. And we started playing coffee shops. When Chip quit and Michael moved on, Mary and Dave joined. We basically just rented a house out in the country and that was the first Kudzu ranch and that's when we really getting our thing together with the surf guitar and southern rock and that's where Too Much Pork For Just One Fork the album came from. Actually the house was right across the street from Southern Village [just south of Chapel Hill.]".
Rick talks about the first Kudzu Ranch. He says, "We used to rehearse in the basement. It had a dirt floor. We'd run an extension cord down from the kitchen. We'd just put carpet down. It got really mildewed and nasty and we'd get shocked all the time. Every couple of months we'd get this invasion of these things we called mealy bugs. There'd be thousands and thousands of them all mating on the floor. So while we were rehearsing it sounded like you were walking on bags of Fritos corn chips."
Rick Miller sets up "The Little Things." He says, "It's just our domestic mode about some of the ups and downs of being in a relationship.]
[Calvin plays "The Little Things" from Dig This! by Southern Culture On The Skids.]
Rick Miller talks about the latest incarnation of Kudzu Ranch. He says, "We just did a record with John Howie Jr and the Rosewood Bluff and a record with the Dex Romweber Duo. Both those records turned out really well. Calvin asks Rick is he likes being the engineer and being on that side of things. He says, "I do actually. It's fun. Sometimes you want to get out there and say 'do it like this.'" He talks about the fact that everyone in the band is self-taught. He says, " You know we were always a DIY band and I think that's why we stuck together so long because any mistakes we made originated from us, not management or an engineer or a producers. We were always recording our own demo tapes back in the days when we used to send cassette tapes out When we got signed from Geffen we took a few thousand dollars from our advance which wasn't much. We went over to the Music Loft and bought TASCAM 8 track and a Mackie board and a couple of mics. Basically we cut the demos for Dirt Track Date in the second incarnation of Kudzu Ranch. It was an old gas station out on Highway 54, which is now tagged and all the windows and doors are gone. The second song we ever cut in that garage on that TASCAM 8 track deck is on the sound track of Flirting With Disaster. It's called 'Red Beans and Reverb.' So that's where the recording thing bit hit really. I said, 'you know I think I might be able to do this.'"
Rick Miller sets up "My House Has Wheels." He says "Half my life has been spent in a van. My Dad built mobile homes. My wife wants an R.V. So this song touches all the corners of the baseball diamond of my life."
[Calvin plays "My House Has Wheels" from Dig This! by Southern Culture On The Skids.]
Calvin and Rick talk about the rumor that Southern Culture On The Skids is going to make a Slim Whitman cover album. He says, "Well, no, but there's something out Slim Whitman that's just plain strange. They guy can yodel like nobody's business . What a great voice. But he never opens his mouth. How does he do that?"
Rick Miller talks about the recent karaoke contest that Southern Culture On The Skids sponsored. "If you bought the record, you could download all the instrumental/karaoke tracks for the songs on the record. And we just said hey, pick one and do a karaoke to it and send it in. A couple from Roanoke Virginia did "Put Your Teeth Up On The Window Sill" and they were newlyweds! They came down to the show we did for New Years' in Raleigh at the Southland Ballroom and they performed it on stage while we backed them and it was great. We presented them with a Ukelele. Some fans painted it and sent it to us."

Crossplay at Comic-Con, "Just Cos"
By Perry Michael Simon on November 4, 2012
We have one more Just Cos from this year's San Diego Comic-Con International on the Nerdist Channel, and this edition is all about crossplay, which is, obviously, cross-gender cosplay. Maybe the reason you couldn't find Waldo was because Waldo was a girl. Did you think of that? Huh?

Starting in October, VIZ will be releasing original comics based on the hit Cartoon Network series, REDAKAI. The anime-styled show follows a group of plucky kids, Team Stax, who are racing to find the all-powerful Kairu energy before it falls to the evil overlord Lokar and his minions, the E-Teens.
We've had the totally rad opportunity to chat with some of the writers and artists who're bringing these adventures to print. Every day this week, we'll be running an interview with these talents with some never-before-seen, exclusive art from the books.
Yesterday, we talked to writer Aubrey Sitterson. Today, we're talking to one of his collaborators, Nate Lovett.
ANIME VICE: What's your role in this rather sizable endeavor?
NATE LOVETT: I'm primarily the penciller on the sections that were done by the Wright Height Media team. In Volume 1, I got to do a little bit of everything though, from layouts, to pencils, to inks, to even a few colors. Volume 2, it's strictly pencils, for now, with some of the layout here and there.
AV: What were you doing before the REDAKAI card was dealt to you?
NL: I'd done a little bit of everything. I've gotten to do other comic work, like XOMBIE: REANIMATED from a few years ago, based of the popular web series. I've also done a lot of concept art for various projects like toys, games, and even other cartoons. But most recently I was working on my own comic project GEAR MONKEY with Aubrey Sitterson, who just so happened to have written Volume 1.
AV: Wright Height Media is, of course, an outfit directed by the infamous Ray-Anthony Height. What's it been like working with the Ray-man?
NL: I've known Ray, thanks to the internet, for almost 10 years now. We first met way back on penciljack.com, and I remember really liking his stuff the first time i saw it. Since then we've seen each other various places online, like deviantart, and basically kept up with what each other was doing that way.
When Ray announced what he was planning to do and started his search for artists to join him, I knew I wanted in, so I dropped him a line, and that was that. Overall Ray and I have really clicked when it come to working together. We both tend to see things the same way, so it's not often that we disagree on something. It makes producing a comic together really easy, because there's less hurdles and bumps to deal with.
AV: What have you enjoyed the most about illustrating the adventures of young Master Ky? Any players out of Team Stax and the various groups of E-Teens that you particularly like drawing?
NL: I'd have to say I've enjoyed drawing Boomer the most. I think it's because he tends to be the one that gets the most animated, and anytime I can exaggerate facial features more than usual, I'm all for it.
AV: Obviously, though this project's being produced stateside, VIZ has a staggering catalog of imported manga. Are you an otaku? What are some of your favorite manga titles? Have they had any influence on your art?
NL: I actually had to look otaku up, if that answers that question, but that doesn't mean I'm not a fan of any. I'll be honest, I haven't read a ton of manga, but I have watched plenty of anime. But manga wise, I'm a fan of the old school AKIRA books and I did read the FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST series. I actually read it because to me it was one of those shows that i had to find all sorts of stuff on.
AV: Well, "otaku" can apply just as well to anime as manga - - it's a really wide umbrella of fandom. What are some anime series that have especially struck you?
NL: Well, there's FMA which I already mentioned. I'd also have to say COWBOY BEBOP, I love that show, FLCL was a lot of fun. I always dug all of the GHOST IN THE SHELL stuff. Then there's the stuff I grew up with like ROBOTECH, DBZ and whatnot. Then there's pretty much anything Miyazaki has done, though that's not so much a series.
I've always been a big animation fan, no matter where it came from, and it's something that I'm actually passing onto my son.
AV: Has your son been watching REDAKAI? What does he think about his Dad getting to work on such a butt-kicking project?
NL: He actually has. I remember when we first found it on CN, he had to watch. He's going to be five real soon, so he's getting into all of those type of things, BAKUGAN/BEYBLADE/etc, and this was right around those so he was all into it.
Then, when i was first starting to work on it, he came into my studio, and saw what i was working on, and got really excited. He started going on about things from the show, and it's the type of stuff that I kinda knew, but it had just soaked into him that he knew who people were, and the Kairu stuff and whatnot. It was crazy, but he soaks up so much information on all sorts of things that it shouldn't have really surprised me.
AV: REDAKAI itself seems to wear an anime influence rather openly on its sleeve. With shows like AVATAR and PANTY & STOCKING demonstrating a real cross-pollination of style on both sides of the Pacific, do you think there's really no longr much of a separation between Eastern and Western pop culture today?
NL: I wouldn't say it's no longer there, but it is starting to blur thanks to the internet especially. It's easier now to get almost anything from around the world, and I think that helps bridge things, but I think that separation will still be there for a while. Both cultures have such rich and deep histories involving comics/manga and cartoons/anime that I'm not sure it ever will be one, but I do think each will have a good chunk of the other.
AV: Say these books, or even this interview, get some readers curious to check out more of your work. Where can they get the rest of the Nate Lovett experience?
NL: Well the best place to go right now would be my Deviantart page, though I also have a website that needs updated at www.natelovett.com. You can also follow me on twitter. Also around the end of the month my GEAR MONKEY project with Aubrey Sitterson will be coming out through Double Feature.
I think that's about it, for now anyways.

Aside from having armor runes on a jungler I have not seen much use for getting specific rune pages. I reorganize mine every once in a while and I cant' seem to feel a difference in gameplay. Where do runes normally help and what are the benefits of making pages specific to champions?
Senior Member
they help at early levels. for example, corki starts with 48 AD, and a normal rune page for him will give an extra 15 AD - that's a 30% increase to all of his auto attacks.
There are three cases in which they matter: 1) You need runes to jungle effectively. Not just Armor runes, but also something like Attack Speed or AP to make your clear time not terrible. 2) You need runes to support effectively. gp10 yellows and quints are required in order to get your gp10's at any kind of decent time, otherwise you'll just spend *all* your money on wards and just fail late-game. 3) You can really boost your early-game with a smart rune setup. Flat runes have a pretty significant effect at low levels. Beyond that, they're not incredibly important, but still give an edge. That's why you see people play scaling runes, to get an edge late-game over people who got flat runes early-game. All that said, you shouldn't bother with runes until level 20. Tier 1 and 2 runes are really just too small to matter, especially since you don't have any notable number of rune slots, and should be ignored. Once you get Tier 3 runes, though, then IMO you're good to go for normals against 30's, because those last 10 runes really aren't that huge.
Yes. Runes and masteries can give you around 2-3 starting item's worth of stats.
Another thing that runes can help with is last hitting: Even a few points of additional damage give you more leeway for the "one hit from dead" window of opportunity.
They make a difference.
Judas Priest
I like to harass early and try to score first blood, or any kill as soon as possible. So I use flat runes, it gives me a significant boost. But as already mentioned, don't waste your IPs in tier 1 and 2 runes, they really don't worth it.
Junior Member
That 1 Flat AD glyph is silly. The game only round the number to display it to the user, it doesn't do it for the damage calculations. Some use 2 MPen glyphs because this, combined with Marks and Sorc boots, will add up to 30(?) making it penetrate all of the base MR of a lot of champions. Getting flat AD glyphs makes no sense though.


text: I noticed that the original more_control_helpers.tar.bz2 file mentioned in the "HINT" http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt is not found using the link in the "HINT". The URL should be http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/ATTACHMENTS/more_control_and_pkg_man/more_control_helpers.tar.bz2. Just in case people can not find the original file in the future I also link to a copy of it near the bottom of my page here: https://www.javacrypt.com/lfs Dan, The build script itself already exists in the "more_control_helpers.tar.bz2" which is as it was before I got to it. I altered it a little but for the most part it is as I found it. Now that is not to say that I can not explain most of what it does... I can, however I don't want to take credit for its design or function. re: "Where can I find the 'root_{pre,post}_commands'? They do not appear in 'build.conf' and don't seem to be defined in 'build.' You call them as for .configure, make and install and make the logs, but I can't find the commands themselves." I noticed that when a function is missing from the build.conf file, the step is just skipped. It appears that Matthias was experimenting with this and didn't include it in the build.conf. I haven't tested it, but the -c switch given to the su command is generally how you can execute a script or command as a different user. So calling the script itself with a specific option mentioned, and executing it as an option to the su command should theoretically execute that phase of the script as the specified user (in this case root). I expect the build script would pause at this point expecting the user to enter the root password since I don't see how it is getting passed. re: "I'm gonna go back to your build notes because I don't want to ask a dumb question about build directories. However, since you use 'ln -s' are the xxxbuild and yyysrc directories just "dummies" or do they actually exist? If they exist, what is their purpose?" The extracted archive is created with a folder that is taken from the archives name and is extracted into the folder called xxxbuild. The yyysrc link is to this extracted directory. In this way no matter what package is extracted the path $HOME/xxxbuild/yyysrc is always to the source that was extracted. Not my design but it seems to work. For example libpipeline-1.2.4.tar.gz Would be extracted to $HOME/xxxbuild/libpipeline-1.2.4 and the link $HOME/xxxbuild/yyysrc points to it. re: "Last thing so you can continue to vacation. I was interested to see how you handled all the tar.{xz,gz,bz.bz2} files. PATTERNS seems to be the key. In build.conf "PATTERNS='4.3.2.tar". I don't understand this. Would you explain it?" The text in the PATTERNS variable is how the build script identifies the files you wish to extract as part of the build. You place the patterns in the order desired with spaces separating the patterns. Generally there is only one archive to extract and as long as the PATTERN you use appears somewhere in the file's name the extraction is successful. I usually only put the text "tar" in the PATTERN as it matches nearly all package archive names and yet does not usually match the names of patches which you may also have in the $HOME directory of the package user. re: "That's why after I built my first {,B}LFS system, I generated my own install.dir.lst." Part of the changes I did make, almost near the beginning of my efforts on this project, was to add a script to generate and maintain the list of "INSTALL" directories. You can see more details of what I changed and added in my developer notes: https://www.javacrypt.com/lfs/dev_user_package_management.txt If you look at the source code for the wrapper scripts that I have been working on, you will see they seem rather involved. I noticed that there was a great variety of ways that packages used the commands: install, rm, ln, sln, unlink, mkdir, chmod, chown, chgrp etc.. I also noticed that they did things that don't even seem to be documented, such as placing folder and file references first and options last, or putting the -m option between source and target file and directory options. Also did you know that it is perfectly acceptable to have a line feed in the middle of a file name? One of the packages test this and so my wrapper scripts had to become more and more robust to deal with these oddities. But on that note it is worth mentioning that the wrapper scripts are not really required until the "install" step. If you suspect that a "make check" or "make test" is failing due to the wrapper scripts you can simply disable them by changing the path, for the "build check" step. For example, the rebuild of coreutils to enable "acl" in the BLFS was checking things that were not permitted by the wrapper scripts... so I simply did this in the build.conf file for the check function: check_commands() { : # for whatever reason, the wrapper scripts caused make test to fail so... WRAPPER_PATH="$PATH";# back up the PATH export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"; make test export PATH="$WRAPPER_PATH";# restore the PATH } I am creating a "my_blfs_7_4_notes.txt" file, to carry on from the similarly named LFS file, but I am a long ways off from publishing it.

I don't want to impact your vacation, but I'll still post--so that you can respond if you think this stuff is as much fun as Hawaii. :) BTW. I retired three years ago, so I am on continuous vacation. I love it. Besides, in one of my previous lives I was an engineer, and right now I'm trying to line up all my ducks before I start my build. So there is plenty of time.

I didn't really take over the hint, partially because I am not sure how much time I will have to put into supporting it. But I did work on the wrapper scripts because I tried out this user package management idea and I could see room for improvement. Anything you or anyone else can add to improve this project is welcome. Which goes to my first question in this round. As a general statement, I'm closely reading the build and build.conf scripts. All of my questions stem from that. Where can I find the 'root_{pre,post}_commands'? They do not appear in 'build.conf' and don't seem to be defined in 'build.' You call them as for .configure, make and install and make the logs, but I can't find the commands themselves. Ubuntu uses gedit for it's text editor and, when you print the file, it puts things in nice pretty colors depending on what the statement is. The last technicolor statement in the build script is "echo -n "Preparing for install(root)...". The next statement calls root_pre_install_commands, and it is in black as is the rest of the printed script. I'm thinking that it can't find the commands. I downloaded the tarball yesterday. > ...Su no longer exists in coreutils so copying it in section 5 can not occur. I see from the other effort mentioned here https://github.com/ericherman/package-users that he suggests installing shadow into the /tools area instead of /usr. That would make sense to avoid any collision of files later when the normal shadow install occurs. This is one of the things I thought I'd play with after I learned about no 'su.' My building skills are a little stale, but they're slowly coming back. I seem to remember that you can 'make' or 'make install' individual targets. I'm wondering if you can do that in 'shadow' during Ch. 5. I think--remember I'm stale. please don't laugh--' make target=su' or 'make install -su'. If it's possible, the syntax escapes me right now. I seem to remember that there are some packages in LFS that build only one or a few targets in a package. I'll review the syntax and see what happens. > I thought about changing my_lfs_7_4_notes.txt to use that approach but then decided that the example of how to deal with file overwrite issues is a useful demonstration of the scripts handling of these issues. Gonna re-read those to see if it helps with the 'root_*_install commands' stuff. > 6. The build script will still quit after a section such as the "check" fails.

However, as Linux and LFS grew and became more sophisticated, the original hint became a little (?) pedantic and "brute force." After a couple of builds, the interruptions were more than merely frustrating. That's why after I built my first {,B}LFS system, I generated my own install.dir.lst. I really want to see those 'root_*_install commands." > Thanks again for your feedback, I hope I didn't miss addressing any of your points. Thanks for your efforts. You got them all. But.......I have some new ones. :) I've beaten the "root_*" stuff enough. In addition, however, I didn't know that you could "su" in a script. That makes things really great! I'm gonna go back to your build notes because I don't want to ask a dumb question about build directories.

Dawn Moore, Global Systems Manufacturing Outsourcing Manager, Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR 97124, 503/456-1121, email@example.com
Abstract. Many companies from all industries are turning too global outsourcing as a strategic initiative. There are several environmental factors, both internal and external that give rise to such a dramatic shift in the way companies "add value". What products and services being outsourced or the term "add value" has tremendous implications stretching from pure assembly and manufacture to full on design, development, direct fulfillment and post sales support.
Adding to the complexity is the geographical locations; time to market and operating margins in sometimes highly diversified and dynamic market space. Due to the complexity and dynamics of the supply chain, it is very difficult to provide a "one size fits all" to multiple supply chain even within the same corporation. This drives a "recipe book" approach on global outsourcing strategies. This session will explore the key drivers that are influencing global outsourcing and review strategic initiative used to preposition a company to address those changes. Key focus on optimizing the supply-chain with an example of an eBusiness initiative.
We will start out by outlining the changing industry and other environmental factors (internal and external) that are driving companies to utilize global outsourcing as a competitive advantage. We will then review supplier management strategies and supply chain implications for a spectrum of different levels of outsourcing efforts. We will review the pros and con's of the different types of outsourcing models. We will be looking at the levels of operational support and resources required for each type of model as well as measure the level of flexibility provided to the organization. In addition, we will drill down into methods of improving the effectiveness of the supply chain via our eBusiness efforts for everything from communication of demand, receipt and quality/performance indicators.
Objective. Our objective is to present a clear understanding the key drivers for outsourcing, understand the pro's and con's of different outsourcing models and understand eBusiness efficiencies on outsourcing supply chain.
Why Do We Outsource/Internal Environment. There are multiple reasons why companies pursue outsourcing and many are very industry specific. Some examples are flexibility in terms of capital equipment and people. Depending on the stability of the industry and the barriers to entry in the market, this is a common rational for pursuing outsourcing. In addition, time to market (TTM), quick capacity growth and avoiding long term commitments on people and capital during product testing and new market introductions. With product life cycles shrinking, having the right manufacturing capability, capacity and cost structure is key for a "go/no go" new product introduction.
It should also be noted that capability and capacity is also directly related to geographical locations and the resource of people. For example, in our ever growing global economy, the traditional "end customer" looks very different based on geographical location and conditions for doing business in certain countries in relation to tax, license and customs must be considered. Further, with the very low unemployment rate many technical design and development resources are of limited supply in the market. Outsourcing can also provide this high level skills set as needed. Please note that many of the reasons above are very similar to acquisition strategies. Many companies today are taking on both an outsourcing and an acquisition strategy to position themselves for the future.
External Environment. The outsourcing market is growing at a phenomenal pace. The supply base is also changing rapidly with vertical and horizontal integration by the contract manufacturers (CM's), niche players in NPI and Design and many new players in the lower tiers (smaller firms). This market is still heavily dominated by the top 6 suppliers with a large % of the market. You will also see a shift from the pure CM's to more of Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) with full cradle to grave support models. This model is starting to push the envelope on what are the originating firms "true" core competencies. In the past, the only items that were outsourced were the very stable, proven products. Today, you will see a much heavy trend toward more technically advanced products going "outside".
Strategies in Outsourcing. As previously mentioned, there is an endless number of combinations of outsourcing strategies that can be pursued. We will take a look at very typical examples at each end of the "spectrum of control" and outline the many factors of gray that exist between the different types.
The first one is internal design/develop and protobuild. This strategy is typically used with very stable product with longer product life cycles. Most outsourcing value add in the manufacture of the actual product. The originating company designs and develops the product, typically "proofing" the product internally and sending out for high volume manufacturing. There is no need for heavy capital or people investment and is easily portable to any MNC worldwide. The CM's see this business as very stable, predictable and enjoy consistent margins (little risk) with this strategy.
The next strategy is conceptual design/development with NPI and manufacture outside. This strategy is typically used for more technically advanced products with volatile life cycles. The originating company keeps technical control/core competencies and may focus on enabling the market over operating margin. The CM's take greater control over final design and operational consideration such as approved materials list (AML), ECO's, etc. This strategy starts to shift the risk factor into the hands of the CM's and requires lower headcount by the originating company to support product launch over the previously discussed strategy.
As you can see from the above two example of outsourcing strategies, there are different levels of engagement along the supply chain, which involve different levels of risk. In the spirit of brevity, I will list many other factors that can shift from the originating company's control to the CM:
Span of control and value add shifts from originating company to outsourcing suppliers and with that the risk and reward also shifts. The idea is to move to the best "total cost" solution for each outsourcing effort. This should include not only the external cost but internal costs as well. Highly comprehensive "make verses buy" models help to determine the best outsourcing solution that may very well change over time as our environment and business conditions change.
The final and most "pure outsourcing" strategy is, 100% Outsourcing — off the shelf "branded items". This strategy is typically utilized when you need immediate entry into the market, you have strong brand name recognition and the product/market may not be your original core competency. This strategy is one of the quickest ways to enter new global markets and is heavily utilized in the consumer product space. Very minimal internal headcount needed to manage this strategy.
Operational considerations and eBusiness. With different levels of outsourcing there are different levels of operational and informational support required. Common issues that need to be address is demand loading (MRP & Master Schedule), smoothing of a forecast and inventory management for raw, WIP and finished goods (including scrap and rework). Change management is another key aspect with demand change and engineering change orders (ECO's), all of which directly impact the material supplyline in and out of the CM. Quality management and output indicators are also critical to ensure product going out the door has the appropriate level of quality.
In addition, based on certain technologies some materials may be purchased by the originating company and "consigned" to the CM verse full "turnkey" materials management. In addition, the end customer may want to validate your outsourcing process to ensure they are comfortable with the process and controls.
Taking all of the different stakeholders into account in this very complicated supply chain's, it is essential that everyone have the right information at the right time. Here is where many companies are shifting to eBusiness and other ERP systems to help drive a virtual supply chain. One example at Intel is our "no touch" system which will allow orders placed with Intel to download directly to the CM, which starts a serious of events from "build to order," "configure to order" or "ship standards direct". The idea is to shorten the virtual supply chain, increase the speed of the information transfer and thus optimize the supply chain (inventory, people, capacity, etc.).
Typical Pitfalls. Some typical items that can cause excursions in the start up, maintenance and ramp down of an outsourcing project are listed below. This is by no means an exhaustive list but merely typical examples.
Summary. As you can see, there are many factors that come into play as you pursue an outsourcing initiative from choosing the right strategy, selecting the right supplier and aligning with the appropriate operational and eBusinees support models. All items will shift risk and accountability to either the originating company or the outsourcing CM and should be managed carefully. Flawless execution can make global outsourcing a competitive advantage.

The best way to explore Florence is on foot: the city centre is compact, and traffic is restricted. There is a comprehensive bus network (ATAF) operating from 5:30am until midnight. Tickets are valid for 70 minutes for a single-use ticket, or multiple-ride tickets of four 70 minute-uses can be purchased. Tickets must be validated by punching them in a machine when you board the bus. Tickets, and various bus passes, are available from any vendor displaying the ATAF sticker, such as newsagents, automatic dispensers, coffee bars and on-board the bus. Tickets cost €1.20 beforehand, or €2 if bought on the bus, and exact change is needed. Using taxis in Florence is difficult, as they cannot be hailed on the street. Taxi ranks are to be found outside the train station and most tourist sites, or they can be phoned. The flag fee is €3.20, and additional fees are charged for luggage, as well as nighttime and Sunday travel. Women travelling alone between the city centre and their hotel or apartment from 9pm to 2am can ask for a 10 percent discount on their taxi fare.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in September).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
Italy's currency is the Euro (EUR), which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.
Emergencies: 113 (Police); 118 (Ambulance)
Buses depart the airport every two hours between 5:30am and 11:30pm for Florence.
Auto Europa, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, National/Maggiore, and Sixt operate car hire facilities from the airport.
Taxis are located in front of the terminal, and fares to downtown Florence start from €20; the journey takes roughly 15 minutes.
Airport facilities include a lost and found, information desks, VIP lounges, public phones, disabled assistance, medical facilities, and a variety of shopping and dining options.
Short-term parking is free for the first 15 minutes, then charged at €2 for one hour, €3 for two hours, €3 for each subsequent hour, and €25 per day. Long-term parking is charged at €1 per hour for the first week, €0.60 per hour for the second week, and €0.50 per hour after that.
Free wifi is available in the Masaccio Lounge.

Wow! What a weekend! Actually, that's an outright lie. :-P
So first things started off on Friday, when I got to work. Nothing special there, and I didn't walk away with a whole lot of money. But I had a good time and it was relatively unstressful, so that's almost worth its value in money.
On Saturday, I went and had the most quaint breakfast with one of the guys in the chorus. It turns out that we have much more in common than we both realized, so that's always cool. After breakfast, he went to go work out and I went to get ready for work....
...ahhh yes, back at work again. Last night was a bit more interesting. You see, people like to come to my restaurant and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and all that sort of stuff. Well last night, this family of about 20 come in to celebrate a gentleman's 70th birthday. I didn't particularly care much for the lady that was in charge of the party, as she was a penny-pincher and a little on the cold side. But, I deal with people I don't like everyday, so I didn't think anything of it.
So we did our usual birthday celebration, complete with music and singing. Everybody seemed to have a really good time, so I felt good about the whole thing. I was still pissed off that the lady didn't want to spend a little extra money, but hey, what are ya gonna do?
So while I was talking with my (absolutely adorable) busser, the lady comes up to me. She thanked me for making it a special birthday for her husband and her family. The lady went on to tell me that just this week, they found out that her husband was diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive form of cancer (this is when she starts to cry), and that they weren't sure how much longer he was going to be around.
When someone tells you something like that, it has the tendancy to change the way you look at them. Luckily, I was never rude to them, so I don't feel badly about my behavior, just the things that I thought about them. I sure felt like an ass, that's for sure. But I suppose in the end, they all had a good time, and that's the most important part.
The rest of the night was a breeze, so yay for that!
Today, in just a little bit, actually, I'm going to breakfast at a friend's house (he's the 26-year old that I'm after). He came up with the idea, so I figured that's a *good* thing. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to wear yet, but I'm sure I'll find some cute little outfit. :-P
And with that, I should be on my way. I have my gay band rehearsal tonight, and then tomorrow is choir rehearsal, so yay for that! Hope everybody had a more fabulous weekend than I. You kids behave yourselves, and we'll see ya in a couple days.

Section on the main events taking place in the community of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu Takumakai in Japan.
On Sunday February 9th 2014, the Nippon Budokan welcomed representatives of 35 schools of traditional Japanese martial arts during the 37th Kobudo Embutakai. This annual show is one of the most important events related to Koryu that take place in Tokyo, the other major one being the demonstration taking place in March at Meiji Jingu Shrine. However, the conditions were not ideal this year since one of the most severe snowstorms of the past twenty years had just passed over the country the previous day, killing 11 people, leaving 40,000 homes without electricity, and leading to the cancellation of over 700 flights. In spite of this, the passion of all these experts originating from all over Japan was such that they braved the elements and reached a Tokyo covered with 27 cm of snow in order to present their respective arts. Here details and videos of 11 out of the 35 demonstrations that took place on that day.
Every six months, an exceptional Daito-ryu seminar takes place in the Shikoku region. The event is notable because it is placed under the direction of one of the greatest experts of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu still alive, Chiba Sensei Tsugutaka. The opportunity is even greater since many of the great Sensei of the Takumakai religiously entend this course in order to deepen a little more their of the art transmitted by Takeda Sokaku. This weekend was therefore a golden opportunity for travelling, learning, practicing with experts, and sharing.
The more I spend time in Tokyo, the more I realize that the world of Aikido is indeed very small. The beauty of this is that it is during random encounters and acquaintances that one end up making the most crucial experiences for one's personal development. Such an acquaintance happened once again on the tatami of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo in May 2008 while I was staying in Tokyo and practicing Aikido intensively. Today, I would like to take you for a journey through time, to the discovery of a discipline which is the ancestor of Aikido. Those of you a bit more erudite on the subject know of course that I am talking about the Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu.

Kass: Bring On the Steel-Cage Match!
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 8:20 a.m. EST on Feb. 21.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- This week Jim "El Capitan" Cramer and I have been going back and forth on the investment ramifications of the heightened M&A activity. (Jimmy brought up our fracas and dueling views during Tuesday night's "Mad Money" episode.)
Yesterday I published a detailed analysis that suggested that retail investors' inflows into domestic equity funds do not lead stock prices -- indeed, there is nearly no correlation.
Today I undertake (with the assistance of Seabreeze analysts Nick Pollari and Kelley Hopkins) another exercise and deep dive that suggest to us that, historically, rising levels of takeover activity (what Jim calls "the urge to merge") do not statistically correlate to a new leg of higher stock prices. We used data of the S&P 500 annual returns from 2001 to 2012 with the dollar value of M&A activity and came up with the conclusion that there is little correlation:- The correlation between the volume ($B) of North American deals with annual S&P 500 returns is a low 0.5029.
- The R-squared between annual S&P 500 returns and the volume ($B) of North American deals is an even lower 0.253.
- The adjusted R-squared between annual S&P 500 returns and the volume ($B) of North American deals (including a one-year lag) is a statistically insignificant 0.296.
- The adjusted R-squared between annual S&P 500 returns and the volume ($B) of global deals (including a one-year lag) is also a low 0.307.

While considered as a normal phase of life, some women have trouble going through menopause with ease. Some even resort to different means in order to address and find treatment for their symptoms. Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT used to be a popular option, however, with natural remedies on the rise, many women now find comfort using supplements derived from plants.
While looking for relief for menopause symptoms, it is possible that you have come across several Estrovera reviews. These reviews likely talk about how Estrovera fares in treating menopause symptoms, particularly hot flashes, with its key ingredient called ERr731.
Details of the Product
Proclaiming itself to have set the gold standard in treating hot flashes, Estrovera reviews also mention that these supplements were manufactured by a reputable company, Metagenics. These supplements are believed to work effectively with Estrogen coming from a natural plant source. Estrogen is the hormone that reduces with number as a woman ages, and along with this decline comes several symptoms and discomfort. Scientists figured that by replacing the lost estrogen, a menopausal woman may be able to get her groove at life back. What sets Estrovera apart is the fact that their phytoestrogen comes from the extract of a specific plant called Siberian rhubarb.
What Makes It Special?
Reading on more Estrovera reviews will also tell you that ERr731 is the phytoestrogen derived from Siberian rhubarb. This extract is believed to be the first phytoestrogen effective enough in fighting and reducing hot flashes to the same extent of a low dose hormone therapy. However, HRT comes with several risks that ERr731 doesn't have, making the latter a more effective and natural approach in treating hot flashes.
Navigating through Estrovera's official website, you can easily find several information about this extract. Metagenics also proudly published the clinical tests done on the Siberian Rhubarb's ERr731. The studies revealed that Estrovera is able to bring positive relief from hot flashes. According to a 12-week study, menopausal women observed significant reduction of flashes within 28 days. Another 6-month study notes several affirmative changes from physical and emotional discomforts brought about by menopause.
The Disadvantages
Estroversa's main disadvantage is that it may stimulate some hormone-sensitive receptors and may not be safe to use for women who have a breast cancer history.
Furthermore, consumers may find it hard to purchase Estroversa from local pharmacies and retail stores. It can only be bought from licensed health care personnel.
Does Estrovera Work?
The clinical studies seem to show that Estroversa could be a viable supplement to treat hot flashes. The fact that it is natural and has no known side effects makes it more appealing among menopausal women. Furthermore, Estroversa reviews emphasize that its effect is comparable to a low-dose hormone therapy, further raising the possibility of its effectiveness. However, aside from taking supplements, menopausal women should also take note that certain lifestyle changes such as modifying their diets and following some exercise routines can also help them deal with menopause symptoms.
I feel like a guinea pig because after taking this supposed "all natural", "safe" product for 6 months, I developed breast cancer. I have had a lumpectomy and am in the middle of chemotherapy that has been living hell. I feel like such a fool to have believed the PR because there are chemicals and estrogen in this product that can cause cancer. If I were you, I would never, ever take this product and simply gut out the hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. I would rather change my PJ's and sheets every day for the rest of my life than, endure cancer, chemo and radiation. Do yourself a favor and STOP taking this product, please!!
October 20, 2014 - 7:29amMy OB GYN introduced me to Estrovera. After taking it for 7 moths, I have been diagnosed with breast cancer. This product should be banned for anyone who has any history of breast cancer. I hope you don't have to walk in my shoes.
July 7, 2014 - 12:14pmHello elizahaywooed,
A significant number of women experience menopausal symptoms. Hot flashes disrupt sleep and make daily life a challenge. A non-hormonal treatment such as Estrovera is a welcomed relief.

Applying for Financial Aid
Piedmont Technical College's tuition rates are already the most affordable in the region, and there are plenty of financial aid options available to offset the cost of attendance even more.
In fact, the average financial package at PTC is more than enough to fully cover the cost of PTC's tuition and fees.
To find out how much financial aid you'll receive, you'll first need to apply for aid. Follow the steps below to file your application.
What do you need to know?
How do I apply for aid?
To apply for financial aid, start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you don't own a computer, you can visit any Piedmont Technical College location to complete the application.
If you have not already done so, apply for a Federal PIN at www.pin.ed.gov. If you are a dependent student, have your parents register for a PIN of their own.
Once you have your Federal PIN, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Click "Start a New FAFSA".
Transferring Students who have already completed a FAFSA may click "Add or Delete a School Code" to transfer all of your FAFSA information to PTC.
Returning Students will be given the option to pull information from their last FAFSA application into a new one.
Follow the directions for the FAFSA carefully!
The Federal School Code for PTC is 003992
Sign your FAFSA electronically using your Federal PIN.
If you're unable to sign electronically, print a signature page and mail to the federal processing address listed at the bottom of the form.
When do I apply for aid?
To make sure you complete your financial aid application on time, you should start early. Although the process isn't difficult, it can be time consuming, and there are deadlines involved.
Application Priority Dates
Apply by the dates below to make sure the process is complete before classes start:
Fall Semester: May 1
Spring Semester: November 1
Summer Term: April 1
Why do I need to file a FAFSA?
The FAFSA is used to determine how much federal and state aid you may qualify for in an academic year. Any kind of federal aid requires a FAFSA, including subsidized and unsubsidized loans.
The FAFSA can be waived for high school students, or for those with bachelor's degrees. Certain third-party benefactors require a FAFSA to be completed before they will pay (ex. WIA, TIA, etc.).
What happens next?
Provide a valid email address and receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) electronically. If you don't supply a valid email address, you'll be mailed a one-page report. Follow up after five days by calling the FAFSA hotline at 1 (800) 433-3242.
You may be randomly selected to provide additional verification information by the federal government.
Respond to all requests from the Financial Aid Office immediately to avoid delays.
You should monitor your Financial Aid Progress 24/7 via PTC Pathway.
