The SKCC WES aims to bring together operators with different skill levels in a regularly scheduled, informal operating event lasting 36 hours. The event starts at 1200 UTC on the Saturday following the 6th of each month and ends at 2359 UTC on Sunday. Participants can operate for a total of no more than 24 hours.
Some events focus on a theme or activity. Three popular themes that repeat each year are Homebrew Keys, QRP, and Boat Anchors. Themes tend to have special rules and scoring.
SKCC members who participate in the WES must use straight keys, sideswipers (cooties), or bugs. Waivers from this policy are possible. For details, see the club's policy on approved keying devices here. Because this event aims to include newcomers to CW as well as experience brass-pounders, operating speed should be adjusted accordingly.
The sprintathon also has an entry category for shortwave listeners, who are cordially invited to join the fun. Non-members are invited to take part as well.
WES results are posted for bragging rights. Certificates are issue to recognize participation, including a certificate recognizing QRP participation. See the bottom of this page for details.
This month, we're doing a mean mess o' flea-power flickin' with QRP/QRPp stations as the bonus-point targets.
QRO participants can earn 10 points per contact with a station running from 2 to 5 watts (QRP). A station running 1 watt or less (QRPp) is worth 20 points per contact.
For those running the peanut whistles, bonus scoring goes something like this:
Each station in a QRP/QRPp x 2 QSO earns the sum of both stations' bonus values: A QRP x 2 is worth 20 points for each station; a QRP<-->QRPp QSO is worth 30 points to each; a QRPp x 2 is worth 40 points to each station in the QSO.
If you are running QRP/QRPp, please send your power level after your SKCC number during your exchanges and identify yourself as a QRP/QRPp station either during your CQ, as in CQ WES QRP, or after your call, as in N1ABS/QRP. Multiband QSOs with a given QRP or QRPp station are permitted for bonus points.
The event runs from 1200 UTC Saturday, March 7 to 2359 UTC Sunday, March 8. And remember, US jurisdictions that recognize daylight saving time switch over to it in the wee hours of march 8.
The SKCC's Weekend Sprintathon is open to all licensed amateurs, as well as shortwave listeners. All active participants must use a manual key (stright key, sideswiper, or bug), unless granted an exception by the SKCC.
Participants may sprint on 160-6 meters, excluding the WARC bands (60, 30, 17, and 12 meters). Suggested frequencies are on or around the SKCC calling frequencies: 1.820, 3.550, 7.055 and 7.114, 14.050, 21.050 and 21.114, 28.050 and 28.114, and 50.090 Mhz. K3UK's sked page or other spotting tools are permitted for this event. Where two frequencies are listed for the same band, score as one band.
The minimum exchange must include RST, QTH, operator name, and SKCC number. If you are not a club member, please send "none" for SKCC number. Please give a realistic RST, not a perfunctory 599 or 559. If you don't get a signal report, please ask for it. For QTH, US and Canadian stations should use their two-letter state or province abbreviation. Stations outside the US and Canada should use their IAAF country codes. You can find the country codes here.
This is an informal event, so if you are not an SKCC member, take a moment to visit our home page and apply for a number. It's free! And if you are a member and have completed the required exchange, hang around and chat for a bit with non-members. It's good PR!
-- Each unique QSO counts as one point. You may count contacts with the same station on multiple bands, but only once per band. You earn one multiplier point for each state, province, or country worked, but you can count a state, province, or country only once per WES.
-- You earn bonus points for working Centurions and Tribunes. You can work the same C, T, or S on multiple bands for QSO points, but his or her C, T or S counts once per WES for bonus points. Each C is worth 5 points, each T is worth 10 points, and each S is worth 15 points.
-- You receive an additional 25 bonus points for each band on which you contact the special sprint station, K9SKC, when it is active. Extra bonus points may be offered as part of a given sprint's theme. If none is offered, enter 0 in the appropriate box on the submissions page.
You must copy at least one side of a WES QSO for a QSO point. If you copy both sides of a WES exchanges, that counts as 2 QSO points. You can count the same station more than once only if you copy that station's QSO on a different band -- one QSO per band. Note that some WES themes may not allow SWL entrants to claim the theme-related bonus.
As you enter your contact information on the submissions page, the page calculates your score automatically by multiplying the total number of QSOs by the total number of multipliers, then adds the total bonus points you enter, based on the bonus-point scheme for the event. Because this scheme varies from event to event, you'll need to canculate your bonus totals.
Total = (QSO x Multipliers) + bonus points
Please use the submissions page, reached by clicking on "Submit Your Score" link at the top of this page. Logs are not required unless the WES manager requests them. The deadline for submitting or correcting your entry is 2359 UTC on the Sunday following the event. If you are correcting your entry, you must resubmit all your information, not just the item that needed the correction. If you are a non-member, use "none" in place of SKCC number on the submissions page. If you are an SWL and have a unique SWL club ID, use that in place of a call sign. If you don't have a club ID, make up a unique, one-word ID to use.
Participation certificates are sent to qualifying WES entrants after each month's event. These certificates are quality wallpaper that any SKCC member would be pround to display.
Four types of certificates, in pdf format, are regularly emailed after each event to:
These certificates have an orange border with a J-38 key watermark in background.
These certificates recognize a member's entry in multiple WES events (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). These certificates have a red border, with a different key as the watermark for each level. For example, the certificate for 5 DX entries has a J-38 key watermark; for 10 DX entries, the certificate has an E.F. Johnson Speed-X Semi-Automatic Bug watermark; for 15 DX entries, the certificate has a watermark of an NT9K homebrew key crafted in corian; for 20 DX entries, the certificate has a Vibroplex Deluxe key watermark.
These certificates recognize multiple entries in monthly WES events (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.). These certificates have a green border, with the same pattern of watermakers used for DX certificates.
These certificates recognize SKCC members residing in the contiguous 48 US states for entering mulitple WES events (10, 25, 50, 75, etc.). These certificates have a blue border, with the same pattern of watermarks used for DX certificates.
Certificate recipients for DX, QRP, and regular US recognition levels are noted on the General WES Statistics page, which is updated after each WES. Gene Buck, KL7GLL, WES awards manager, will, upon request, send new or replacement certificates to those who achieved a qualifying participation level but did not receive a certificate, or to those who have misplaced their certificate. Gene's email is email@example.com
Many thanks to Ron Bower, AC2C, and Pete Spotts, N1ABS, for their help in designing and producing the certificates.

2003 Lexus LX470 Recalls
A snap ring securing the steering shaft may disengage in the event of severe impact of the front wheel. If the snap ring is disengaged and the steering wheel is repeatedly turned to the lock position, over time, the steering shaft could become disconnected. This would result in loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the snap ring with a newly designed one and install an additional device to prevent separation of the steering shaft. This recall is expected to begin on August 23, 2010.

I want to load "pieces" of HTML to set HTMLPanels which will be dynamically modified by getting the id's as follows:
HTMLPanel dynContent = new HTMLPanel("<div id=\"test_id\"/>");
dynContent.add(new Label("This content is dynamically generated."), "test_id");
Can I serve HTML files to my client from a GWT app (It would be cool to just load the html files served at application startup)? Or do I have to create a call to the server to get the HTML (say RPC)? It sounds like JSP is the solution but I rather stay away from this for such a simple app.
Any suggestions are welcome!

A few weeks ago I listed a D2Xs for sale.We had a house fire and I lost almost everything in my computer room.I think the modem caused it.The loss was around $ 30,000 dollars.Cameras, lenses, hard drives, and about twenty years worth of slides.All that survived were a D7000 and one D2Xs that were in the shop.The insurance company is giving me a hard time.Anyone with that much equipment must be a Pro,which is not covered.I have an attorney that is trying to help.I forgot about the listing and am sorry I didn't follow through.It is a sick feeling.If I recover the first thing I'm going to do is to go with an online backup.This laptop is all I've got right now with an assortment of images.It's like starting all over...just hope the insurance comes through.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Seems like a post here should be the least of your worries. Good Luck on getting everything resolved.Mickhttp://www.mickklassphoto.comorVisit my nikonians gallery
No apologies are necessary.$30,000 sounds like a lot of camera equipment, but a serious amateur will easily accumulate that much equipment in only a few years. I probably have a good bit more than that, and I moved to Nikon digital only a couple of years ago.I'm very sorry to hear that this disaster has befallen you.I don't know how we can help you in this matter, but i'm sure I speak for all Nikonians in wishing you the best.Tom,
Wish you the best.
Howard, very nice of you to think of Nikonians and post an apology, although certainly unnecessary. Your concern at a time like this is a tribute to the folks who gather here. Best wishes as you work through this and re-group. Kind regards,Don
Mick so sorry to hear of your loss! Years ago in the film days I had a breakin and robbery.The ins co.questioned two F2s and and quite a few lens also high end audio equip and tools. I brought the manuals and boxes in and they paid for the loss. I know this is different than your situation but I aso have had to start over. It took years and I never did replace some things, so I know ow you feel. Look to your brother Nikonians for support and if we can help in any way please don't hesitate.best jim
Sorry to hear about your loss.Years ago, I, too, had a break-in. Only lost an old Canon FTN (my wife's). After that, I went back and checked my insurance.For not much money, I added cameras and lenses as "scheduled property" under my home policy. My D90 and 18-105mm cost $25 per year (reminds me I need to add some new lenses to this) - not that much and not subject to the standard deductible. AND the insurance company can't give you a hard time about the amount/cost of the equipment, if you have it scheduled with them beforehand. They list the equipment with serial numbers on my policy. Not sure about hard drives, slides, etc. - off-site and/or backups probably best for those items.Maybe other Nikonians have some insights on how best to insure equipment. There are a lot of "non-Pros" out there with serious investments in equipment.
Thanks to everyone.I also founf out I lost mu dad's 1928 high school diploma.Also all of his WW II pictures,really sad.
Very sorry to hear of your loss....FYI - years ago, a friend suffered a fire at his house. He hired a company that sued (or somehow represented his interests against the company)the Insurance Company. From what he told me, he rcovered very, very nicely. He felt that with just the Ins. Co. he would not have done nearly as well.This is from my impression of what he told me, but I hope that it helps you in some way. KEN
I went through a similar experience with flooding when I lived in Virginia Beach. I now have an annual contract with Carbonite (an on-line, off-site back-up service) for $59 per computer per year, and every time I turn on my Mac or PC, they silently back up everything (including the OS) in the background without slowing my computer speed. The first back-up takes several sessions, but now I see the symbol in the tray working away quietly and I smile. I, like you, had about $30-40K in equipment and 1000's of slides, negatives, and digital images on my computers. It's not that difficult to accumulate if you're a serious amateur. Needless to say, I don't have anywhere near that much equipment anymore.You have my deepest sympathies on your loss. I know how it is to feel like you've lost something invaluable and irreplaceable. I still get a know in my gut when I think about it.Sincerely,CARLD3XWannabe
Yes, scheduling your equipment on your homeowners policy is the thing to do. Added benefits of scheduling: No deductible, repair or replace, worldwide coverage, and the perils insured against are not limited to the normal perils for contents. I wish you good luck with your case against the insurance company. I would think the burden of proof would be on the ins. co. to prove that you are a professional. If you haven't made any money taking pictures, that to me, is the true definition of professional.

Choose wisely if you get one. There are some good ones, but may of them are shady.
It is devastating to lose equipment. You had some very good items which would add up to a significant cost quite easily.But, as you have determined, the greater loss is the record of memories. It is sad to hear of your loss, but I, as well as others here, wish you a quick settlement with the insurance company that is satifactory to you. I am sure you are very thankful that this did not cause any personal injury to you or your family. That is a blessing in that the loss is only equipment, photos and documents. This does make one think twice about leaving any UPS equipment or anything else powered when away for a period of time....and miles to go before I sleep.

|Recorded at Ambient Studios, Stamford, Connecticut.
|Personnel: Fred Hersch (piano); Gary Burton (vibraphone).
|Audio Mixer: A.T. Michael MacDonald.
|Recording information: Ambient Recording Company, Stamford, CT (07/2002).
|This is a deeply romantic CD, but not the fluffy kind: its music and words are powerful and introspective, rather than syrupy or sentimental. Fred Hersch has recorded with many fine vocalists -- Janis Siegel, Meredith d'Ambrosio, Barbara Sfraga, and Luciana Souza among them -- but this is the first time these 11 compositions are all his own, with lyrics and vocals by Azimuth co-founder Norma Winstone. Her words are intelligent and poetic, perfectly fitted to Hersch's lush melodies, and she sings with soul and grace. The songs span two decades, from Hersch's '80s trademarks "Heartsong" and "Sarabande" to recent work like the transcendentally beautiful "Endless Stars" -- which becomes "Stars" here, and also appears on his recent trio CD, Live at the Village Vanguard. Master vibist Gary Burton joins the duo on three tracks; his interplay with Hersch on "A Wish" is particularly delicious, like two fast-flowing streams tumbling and sparkling in the sun. Winstone turns the familiar "Heartsong" into "Song of Life," a purely joyful celebration. Aside from the banquet of Hersch's incomparable lyricism, there's also humor in the Monk-ish "The Eighth Deadly Sin" (procrastination) where Winstone brilliantly describes the agony of approaching a creative deadline. Songs and Lullabies offers an intimate yet universal journey, full of wistful meditations on love; warmly recorded, it's a must for fans of Hersch and Winstone and aficionados of the highest levels of jazz piano and musicianship. This CD is life-affirming, inspiring, gorgeous, and highly recommended. ~ Judith Schlesinger

I've thought about doing that, I'm just worried that a distant section would look jarringly different than the nearby section. I made it in 16 sections because the HOD file is too big. Surprisingly it runs smoothly in game, minimal performance drop when the whole thing is in view.
I'm not sure about the camera distances, I've played around with them quite a bit to no avail. I know there are UI camera settings as well as ship specific camera settings in the .ship file.

I have a problem. I have a managed VPS server running MySQL 5.1.x. I am currently building a new database where I want to store tweets (via search, stream, timeline etc). So I want to use InnoDB database engine because of the row locking! But unfortunately, MySQL 5.1 does not support Full-text search in InnoDB tables.
The problem is that I cannot update my server by myself. So I cannot install MySQL 5.6 (that should support Full-text search) and I cannot install lucene (or solr or whatever).
Are there other options to achieve Full-text search in MySQL or whatever. Or maybe in PostgreSQL (never used that before)
The only other option I have so far is going to an unmanaged VPS but I don't prefer that :)

Comments about Baby Einstein Day on the Farm Baby Gift Basket:
The parents loved this gift basket, sent to congratulate them on the birth of their second child. They said it was the most beautiful and useful gift basket they have ever seen, and all the items were of excellent quality. They LOVED all the items included in the basket and how it was arranged. Due to the fact I live in Europe and they live in the States, it was wonderful to find a perfect gift to send that I was so excited about and one they LOVED! Thank you!!!

Tropical Paradise Save the Date Magnets I was blown away by the ease of the online custom design. I was extremely pleased with the magnet once I received my order in the mail!! Everything from the care shown in the assembled mailing package to the fonts and colors on the magnet were perfect!!! I have received several compliments on my wedding announcement magnets. I can't wait to order the matching invitation.

Good shot in the dark, productive in college missed most of last season with injury.
They say that love is more important than money, but have you ever tried to pay your bills with a hug?
Just watched some film on him and he looks like a safety playing at the line of scrimmage. Interesting pick.
Knew nothing about him. Looked up on youtube and boy does he pop off highlights. Torn pectoral sidelined him but was apparently having very good season. Applied for medical redshirt and was denied. Like it. He seems like he could be a very good pursuit lb. he'll probably be ready for season too so I like it
1st and 10 at DEN 20 (Shotgun) T.Tebow pass deep middle to D.Thomas for 80 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
Ditto on knowing nothing about Nelson ... he looks good on the film, as does Barrow - they seem similar
I'm sorta excited about him, and seeing what he will do after he heals
And by the stream there cometh up on its edge, every kind of fruit-tree whose leaf fadeth not; and its fruits hath been for food, and its leaf for medicine.
- Ezekiel 47:12
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Nelson is a good. had a fantastic JR season.
I wouldn't be shocked if we stored him on IR like we did with Smith if he isn't ready to go. but with a torn pec it may be a bit tougher to do. I think he makes the team as a special teams LB at worst.
If McCray and Nelson do well in camp bit may not be good for my boy Brandon Marshall. :(... But he is ready to come to camp and prove himself again too.

Hi im looking into the spikes enhanced lpk and was wondering if you have to install the ambi safety switch with as an ambi or if you can just install it as right handed operation only. The reason i'm asking is cause i really like the looks of the kit but have no use for an ambidextrious safety. thx for your help

I'm a righty but prefer having ambi safety as I find it easier to engage the safety with my index finger on the right side rather than my thumb on the left. I release the safety with my thumb on the left side and then engage the safety wth my index finger on the right side.
For the Spikes LPK though you would need to use the ambi lever or you could just get a non-ambi lever and use it.
I'm stripping out a dpms lower receiver in exchange for a spikes enhanced lpk. But i don't care for the ambi safety switch. Being right handed i don't really need the ambi safety switch. What i'm trying to decide is should i just leave the stock switch on there or spend a little extra cash on one of those bad ass levers with the small thin lever. Any suggestions or opinionswould be helpful thx
I know dpms is not well regarded as a whole but my question is are their milspec safety levers reliable or are they low quality
The DPMS selector likely is reliable.
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together.
US Army 1966-69, VFW Life Member, Retired Geek
It should work. But always function test any time you mess with the FCG.
You asked basically the same question in anothter thread. 3 threads now on DPMS safety and changing to ambi
merged for clarity of topic. keep it concise. starting multiple threads for the same basic issue only ends up getting less response than keeping it concise.

What to Watch: April 26 - May 2
Law & Order: SVU - Tuesday April 27, 10 pm, CTV/NBC
NBC must have heard I was complaining about the 'Law & Order' franchise and decided they had to surprise me with a wicked little treat. So they hired Sharon Stone for a guest role as Stabler's ex-partner, now an ADA named Jo Malone. Sharon sticks around for four episodes and I do sincerely hope the writers make full use of her ability to play smart snarky women you don't necessarily like, but respect.
'True Blood' Draws Record Ratings & More TV News
Also in the news today: Paula quits 'American Idol,' while Lauren Conrad and Kim Kardashian book 'America's Next Top Model.'
See more of today's top TV headlines after the jump.
Jericho: Jennings & Rall
(S02E03) "Thanks for your help, Sheriff." - Goetz
The prodigal weirdo returns! I know that, like me, many of you were hoping that Dale wouldn't return this season. However, it's clear that the actor and the character have grown quite a bit, so maybe he won't be so annoying this season. Quite frankly as long as his irritating girlfriend doesn't show up, I'm happy.
I don't know about you but I'm getting a little tired of seeing Dale get kicked around. he seems to be the only merchant in town and yet every time he makes a bold decision he ends up getting slapped down by someone. I don't think that he or the rest of Jericho are going to accept that Jennings & Rall get to make the rules but don't have to play by them.
Jericho: Condor
(S02E02) "I'm not a conspiracy nut." - Jake Green
Condor? Really? The most creative code name they could come up with is Condor? How about something meaningful like Savior or something cryptic like Shadow or even something funny like That One Guy Who We All Recognize But Can't Remember What From.
It's nice to see some things never change. Mayor Douchebag is still more concerned with how he looks than with the evil corporation that is clearly infiltrating his town. You just know that meeting the President has always been a dream of his. I guess any old President will do.
House: Who's Your Daddy?
At the same time, House is experiencing horrible leg pain, which has got to be pretty bad considering what his pain threshold on a regular basis is. He's storming around his apartment, even climbing up a step stool to get a box, hidden on top of a bookshelf, that contains needles and other pain medication that looks like his "last stop" when it comes to fixing what ails him. Once again, Cuddy rings him up on the telephone, and we get to hear his funny answering machine message, but also see that she knows how to push his buttons by saying exactly what curiousness would bring him in to treat a patient.

Would You Die To Respect a Software License? 233
from the visit-from-the-compliance-department dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Slow day.
If a software license exists, and no software is written that is available under the terms of that license, does it merit discussion on Slashdot?
It looks to me as somebody set up a site to create a gallery of TOSes so software writers can get some ideas... but then the site got attacked by the typical forum trolls took over and we get a comedy site as the end result. This belongs to Idle next to news from The Onion.
I believe a court would find that clause unenforceable and sever it from the rest of the contract.
The "freedom to encumber" works is like the "freedom to punch someone"
-- Gregory Maxwell, discussion on licensing
That would be a good description of copyright, and thus copyright licenses, but not contracts in general. The terms of a contract are merely conditions which you require to be met before you will voluntarily give the other party some of your property, which you are in no way obligated to do. No matter what the terms may be, they impose no expense on others; one is always free to ignore the offer should one find the terms unpalatable. Licenses are similar, but the copyrights which give licenses their power are artificial social-engineering constructs which only exist at the expense of others.
Fair, although contract law has recognised certain topics where contracts are not free for good reason - situations of some sorts are considered generally either coercive or one-sided enough that the public good is ill-served by the absence of some (or significant regulation). Landlord-tenant law is one example, although English common law has accumulated a long list of other circumstances and remedies to specific abuses, many of which we've kept in the US.
Would you listen to an entire Britney Spears album if it could bring about world peace?
Depends, is "world peace" defined as "all humans exterminated" and is the Spears album the delivery method of said destruction?

'Impeccables,' 'Fall From Heaven' Share Top Honors at Turkey's Golden Orange Festival
ANTALYA, Turkey – Ramin Matin's The Impeccables and Ferit Karahan's The Fall From Heaven shared top honors at Turkey's Golden Orange Film Festival at Antalya, which just wrapped up its 50th edition.
Impeccables, the story of two sisters confronting the secrets of their past in a beach resort, also got a statuette for best director, while Fall From Heaven, which follows a Turkish and a Kurdish woman's reaction to the same tragedy, picked up a special jury award.
STORY: Turkish Festival Promises $320,000 Prize Purse in Competition
The other big winner of the evening was Atalay Tasdiken's Meryem, about a teenage bride coping with loneliness in a small village, taking home statuettes for its leading lady Zeynep Camci, composer Youki Yamamoto and director of photography Feza Caldiran.
The decisions, made by a jury presided over by legendary Turkish actress Turkay Soray, included cash prizes totaling $320,000 spread out among six of the 10 winners.
The award for the best international feature film went to Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit's 36 from Thailand, which employs 36-camera setups to tell its story.

I don't think you can switch to the rules of the New New Economy overnight. A drip feed is still necessary, until new models emerge and people are able to make more sense of what is occurring right at this moment.
But by backing the proverbial straight and narrow, the BIS is indeed doing its job. That is what it is there for. To rein in whoever it feels needs be reined in.
I feel it is the ECB that needs to be reined in. It is the more politically invested of the two bodies, in that sense. But it has as its goal to preserve the euro, does it not? Or am I mistaken? And that is not necessarily what is best for the European economy as a whole, and as a political entity.
Obviously the BIS is involved in political economy. Do they really need to acknowledge that? It is already on the table, I feel.
... but what do I know... I am just a little person, an observer, and a critic. But one who cares deeply. And not for my own interest.

We have 2 wonderful children. My wife has a bachelors of nursing. I study martial arts, am a cook and have a comic book collection that started when I was 4. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since I was 12, and I have seen every episode of every Star Trek tv show and movie many more times than once. I also write for the D&D companies. I left home when I was 17 and have had a job since I left home and never took money from the Government and have voted every year. Got my licence when I was 17 and a car soon after. Started kickboxing when I was 16 too. Got tired of my geeky glasses and got laser surgery when I was 22. Started to body build when I was 14. Didn't want to look like a geek. Joined the reserves when I was 17 as well. I have always been a scifi and fantasy kind of guy from the days of watching reruns of the 60's Batman and Get Smart on tv to Babylon 5 in the 90's and Supernatural today :)Viking Malehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-68649239513353921122011-12-04T16:40:22.984-05:002011-12-04T16:40:22.984-05:00Agh so a few things. 1.

1. Just because you're geeky, weird, or do not fit a norm does NOT automatically mean you have autism/aspergers/a disorder. That's an insult to anyone who is really in to that sort of thing. There are some people who really are just socially weird as a result of their upbringing. Sometimes it has nothing to do with a brain/mental/personality disorder. Why can't someone just be weird without someone else having to slap a label on it? AND PLEASE do not twist my words to make it seem like I am saying: People with Autism/Aspergers do not really have it. I AM NOT SAYING THAT. I am simply saying, SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST WEIRD. It's funny. I have friends who are EXACTLY like how Dr. Grumpy described this guy to the T. They have no personality/mental condition what so ever. They are just weird (weird is not meant to be a negative description)

2. I think EVERYONE seemed to have focused SO MUCH on how THEY FEEL and who THEY KNOW with [insert condition here] and had to interject their own personal life story with slight twist--obviously to fish for an apology from Dr. Grumpy... that they missed the whole reason why this is funny: The guy was much older, living with his mom, and surrounded by his figurines. That's the epitome of the stereotype. That's why it was funny.

3. Dr. Grumpy is a neurologist (or so he claims) ... He studies the brain. He's met many many patients with different conditions as a result of brain abnormalities. I am sure if he realized that this man had a particular condition he would not be posting it on his blog.

I am not disappointed by your post the least bit.

You are right, stereotypes are based off of some factual information. And stereotypes are NOT always negative.

Would you rather Dr. Grumpy be politically correct ALL of the time?

There's always someone that has to complain and interject with some sort of personal story so that they could hear an apology.

They've said they read this blog on a regular basis and laugh at it, but all of a sudden they get offended by this. It was never said that this guy has an autism spectrum disorder like some of these people have said their kids have. Sometimes people just fit stereotypes and it's funny.

I'm sure these same people who are upset about this post have laughed hysterically at a post where Dr. Grumpy has written about something such as an Alzheimer's patient that said or did something unintentionally funny that would normally be embarrassing, but I bet they saw nothing wrong with that. Sure, it's ok for them to laugh at someone else's misfortune, but they get all upset when something gets posted that reminds them of their own misfortune. *cough*hypocrites*cough*

I think people need to be less sensitive.

I'm 28 years old new reader to Dr. Grumpy (I found out a few days ago). I have Aspergers. I adore Star Trek (hate Star Wars though). If I was in hospital, I would love someone to bring me some DVDs to pass the time. Not ST:DS9, maybe seasons of TNG or ENT if the hospital didn't have cable. Or Red Dwarf. I already have one of the movies on my ipod which I was listening to when I was waiting for my neurologist once.

I would use my laptop so I could continue my online RPGs although if I had friends visit me, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some D&D being played. ;)

I don't live with my mother (although both of my parents live with their mothers) and am married. I'm also not overweight either, but most of my geeky friends always laugh at their stereotypes so I think this is quite funny.

PS, Don, what SCA group where you with that stated all men had to be fighters? I've been in since 1998 and I've never heard any of that. I've been in three "kingdoms." I'm also unlikely to ever become a heavy fighter since I'm sure no one would want an epileptic to risk doing anything that potentially dangerous, particularly if it is heavy rather than fencing.melsmarshhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-19171111932791843292010-06-11T14:10:22.446-04:002010-06-11T14:10:22.446-04:00GET OVER IT, PEOPLE!!!

Not ALL blondes are dumb, not ALL guys are womanizers, not ALL smarties are geeky, not ALL blacks are criminals, not ALL whites are rednecks, not ALL Jews are cheap, not ALL Asians drive bad, not ALL Mexicans sneak over the boarder, not ALL Italians have big families (and so on) .....but enough of each of the stereotypes exist, so they persist. And they ARE funny.

I am sure everyone falls under one stereotype or another. We should all be enlightened enough to laugh at ourselves.Dr Grumpy ROCKS!!! :)email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-6362173530297392332010-06-07T16:55:00.585-04:002010-06-07T16:55:00.585-04:00As a former comic shop chick, this is so true.

I think that a Neurologist (hardly a jock-ish speciality) who passes his time reading up on naval history and making posts on his personal web log would think twice before looking down his nose at someone else's geeky past firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-13263403750756607722010-06-02T07:56:58.145-04:002010-06-02T07:56:58.145-04:00My hubby was a D&D geek when at school.

And he's graduated to Warhammer and WoW. *sigh*

But he found a mate of the opposite sex, so I suppose it's not all bad news.

On a rough on-call day, people like these remind you of why you're in the medical profession.

I'm quite saddened at the idea that your entire post is picking on someone merely because they have a passion for Star Trek and D&D.

I am a 34 year old, married woman who is a proud geek. I have played RPGs since I was a child and even run a business based on my love of all things geeky. While I left home at 14 years old due to a terrible home life, I do have a friend that I've know since that same year who still lives at home with his mum, & will do so until the day she dies, and as they are happy about this I see nothing wrong with it. What right does anyone have to judge?

I'm very disappointed in your blog post. I can't understand how you could be so bigoted :(Lynhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-64139853340850906952010-06-01T06:45:46.516-04:002010-06-01T06:45:46.516-04:00Lots of those folks around.

It sounds very much to me like he has a high functioning kind of autism like aspergers. I have 2 sons diagnosed with this and they need their "geeky" things with them because different environments and situations can freak them out because they are unable to predict outcomes.
It's hard to read that knowing that even medical professionals are judgemental when a person doesn't fit the "normal" mould.
However,I frequently laugh at you blog.

First was the fact that they insisted that guys had to be fighters, which would not have been safe because of a medical condition I have.
Second, IMHO, the SCA glamorizes the Middle Ages. I am a student of the period, having read hundreds of books on the period and taken several undergrad and graduate classes. The period, especially the Byzantines, is fascinating, but it was a nasty, brutal time.
Oh, and in D&D,I like to play nasty, city burning mages in games such as Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights.
