How was your hallmark holiday everyone?
How was your hallmark holiday everyone?
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
Same. But I also have been diagnosed with Bipolar, Anxiety, OCD, and heart issues.
I had dinner at some French wine bar and got a massage then smoked. It was nice.
Okay. I've been pondering what's happened to me today and where I'm going to go with it. After the appointment, it took me a while to even remember why I had bothered to get a professional opinion in the first place, because I was never going to take anti-depressants (even if they were prescribed to be); I'd be terrified of the general potential side-effects; having my creativity impaired; having my personality altered or just (as I've seen happen to some friends of mine struggling with depression) becoming a zombie.
I suppose it was two reasons. One, I needed closure for my erratic behaviour over the last eighteen months. A lot if if is conveniently explained by a serotonin deficiency, which is a much better hypothesis for acting out socially than just me losing it completely (although to be fair I'm pretty sure I had a nervous breakdown midway through 2013). The diagnosis feels a lot more surprising than I think it should, considering I sort of already knew I suffered from depression. The only good thing that's come from this in the immediate aftershock is the second reason: my novel. I mentioned in the other thread that it deals with social isolationism in the advent of the technological age, which is true, but it also touches on the world as viewed by one of its depressed inhabitants... who doesn't know he's depressed. The problem with the story was it ended on its tenth chapter with no real resolution, a rather French ending. I love those types of tales, but I don't think an approach like this would do it justice. Truth be told, I simply hadn't lived long enough to write the eleventh, final chapter. I know how the novel ends now.
I'm dealing with another social crisis. Namely who I should tell I have depression. My best friends - the ones who had to look after me during my worst moments - probably deserve to know, as well as all of my various love interests whose hearts I've broken over the last few years (and vice versa). But I don't know if I should tell anyone. I don't want to be labelled 'that guy'. I've always had depression, it's only official now - I don't want people treating me differently, you know?
Aw that's tough, Kelsh, your posts would never have given me the idea you have to deal with so much.
Your night sounds lovely though.
I work part-time now, and I'm worried it's doing more harm for me than good. Last week I convinced my friend to go to the university bar with me. We had a few pints and I suggested we go back to his house with a shoulder of vodka in tow. We downed it in about twenty minutes and headed back to the bar to meet up with some friends. Everything is a blur after that.
The night after, I went to a girl's nineteenth birthday party (I've had sexual relations with her before). We had been snap chatting during the week leading up to it (she's attending university in another part of the country so we couldn't get together when we got together) and I assumed I was in, but when I went, I just got twisted and pulled her best friend instead, presumably breaking her heart. I really need to hit her up and apologise. Her best friend is in my college course; she texted me to apologise the following morning. I didn't even bother responding, haha.
It's not easy being slightly above average in the looks department guys.
Its hilarious to think that officially the only thing wrong with me is a slight learning disability.
Anyway, I say this with all ignorance, but is there perhaps an underlying reason for your depression? I don't know if I was clinically depressed, but I was 'sad' for a long ass time and it was only once I embraced my trans-ness that I felt better and like I was starting to get control of my life.
Is there perhaps something you keep on purposely pushing into the depths of your mind Lord that is eating you up inside?
I don't think you understand how depression works Kirby.
Well to be honest Lotd, you've always seemed to be a bit if a pompous ass and I'm sure the depression only serves to excacerbate the most negative aspects. Just do what the rest if the world does. Your a smart guy and can figure out when it's socially expected to act a certain way so just fake it. Just push down all your unhappy thoughts, bury em deep like the British and keep up appearances. People have been doing it for hundreds if years why stop now? Oh but look in to doing something about your rampant alcoholism. I know you're Irish but damn man.
Oh yeah since you love the sex and who doesn't? Look into cosplay. Professional cosplay era are mega hot and it'll give you yet another creative outlet.
Yeah dude maybe it's time to get off the bottle for a little while
I currently take 100mg of Zoloft for my OCD/anxiety/depression/etc., and while it's helped me at least a little bit, I still have a long ways to go before I get to a position where it isn't totally affecting my life. I actually went to see a psychiatrist because my mom thought he'd help me out like that other psychiatrist did at Sloan-Kettering, but he ended up recommending me to see a psychologist instead because what I have wasn't very serious, especially considering I've been taking Zoloft since last September.
i'm depressed and they've given me 100 mg of sertraline. it prevents my body from absorbing serotonin too quickly, thus having it in my system longer throughout the day. i've also been given Prazosin for my nightmares. it lowers my blood pressure and lowers anxiety (which could be causing my nightmares) it's been helping but the Prazosin prescribed at 1 MG cap. i was suppose to take 3 every night, but shit was way too strong.
now i take 1 capsule a night, but doesn't work well with my nightmares.... it keeps me in a nightmare and i don't feel that rested... oh well.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
See, the problem with that advice is I don't think I can function in social situations without being slightly tipsy.
And then when you enter a state of tipsiness you determine you should get even more inebriated.
well, you should see how you actually are on medication and then tell your psychologist what you don't like about it. s/he should be able to find another drug to prescribe that would work better for you.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
It's 100% true.
Alcohlism at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen
Yup I also was kicked out and am homeless. But life goes on. Seriously don't worry too much man life is life. I was hospitalized for depression/anxiety and seeing the others there made me realize my life is 10x easier then others. At least I have a phone and car. It's all I have but it's pretty good.
<3 cheer up.
Also I've learned alcohol does not help. I used to drink myself to sleep. I'm not even legally allowed to buy alcohol yet lol. But seriously it causes more harm then good unfortunately. It caused me to lose friends and lose my virginity to some pig and I don't even remember losing my virginity. I drink on occasion now and smoke for my nerves. Also I take sertaline and hydroXizine (tranquilizer/anti anxiety) for my panic attacks and it's wonderful
Like I said Altmaster, you're a smart guy. If you can do the no fap challenge you can do the no booze one, and Leo's right. It make take a couple of tries to get a medication that doesn't fuck you over. We went through about 6 different things before we got the right thing for aloras ADHD
Honestly though Kelsi I wouldn't get so hung up about losing your virginity to a nobody. I'm not saying you are all torn up inside about it but I'm just saying I wouldn't put all that much mind into it. We have all been sexually "impure" for a VERY long time and the only thing even close to virginity having any meaning is that it is a physical symbol of "purity" which is already arbitrary. The whole idea, in my opinion, of having that physical act done the first time in a special context really doesn't hold all that much value anymore if you have already done things with people you cared about in past.
Honestly guys I'm sorry you are all going through some nasty shit right now. I mean I'm dealing with a crappy break up and all but it's a little easier to get through my day with having a stable job, income, and female company at nights and the weekends. All that being said I hope all your situations improve because regardless on how big of a d-bag I can be on the net I honestly do wish you all well and believe truly you have value and deserve respect and deserve to be loved.
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT

Tonight, after my regular meeting, where I talked on the 3rd Step, I had a strong urge to go check on my little sister. I had been calling her all day with no answer. We've been hanging out a lot together lately. She's been having some real tough spots in her life, with her health, depression, a failing business that she's been trying to get started, and having set backs because of her health, and then a fresh heart-break to top it off. And, I've been trying to be the good big brother, that A.A. has helped me to become.
To make a long story short -- I called my nephew, her son, and he called the police, and we kicked the door open to do a welfare check on her.
Her son was the first to see her and check her vital signs. She was laying face down as if she had fallen out of her computer chair, and I heard him scream out "She's gone."
My little sister, Carolyn, has always been the closest family member to me. We grew up in a lot of crazy stuff. She had a hard life and had more than an average share of heart-breaks and sadness.
It was Carolyn, that I could always depend on, when my life went south, when I had problems, divorces, business failures, passing out on her floor or sofa, trying to sober up, back in the worst days of my drinking.
Lately, she's been continually telling me, "I never knew that you were as bad off as you were when you were still drinking." And, she has told me of how proud that she has been of me for what I've become. And, how grateful she was to A.A., for all that it has done for me, to help me be the person that I am today.
I miss you Carolyn, and you know how much I love you! Thank you for all that you have done and been for me. I'll take care of your dog. And, I'll look out for your son and grandson, and the grandchild that is on the way. Thank you for sharing your life with me. You will always be with me in my heart and thoughts.
Thank you A.A. for all that you have done for me. Without you, I wouldn't be here to thank you. And, thank you A.A., because I know that you will be with me, in the days to come.
Thank you God, for my sister, Carolyn, and for the life we were able to share and the love that we've known with each other.
Thank you, God, for A.A. Without you and your gift of A.A. to me, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be sober, or to even be alive today, so that I could help my sister in her last days, trying to pass on to her, the tools and principles for a wonderful life, that you allowed to be passed on to me, through A.A.
During the next few days, because of all that I've gained in A.A., I will be able to help family members to go through their sadness and pain. I will be able to be useful to others. I can do it sober and equipped, because of A.A.
We never know when our last breath will be taken, nor when our last moment will expire. Life is short. If you love someone -- be sure to tell them now because you may not have the opportunity to tell them later. If you care for someone, care for them now, and show them now. You may not have that opportunity to do it later. If you are an alcoholic -- and you are sober -- now is all that we know that we have. If you are an alcoholic and you are suffering, whether drinking or sober -- we have tools in A.A., that can get you through it.
At the end of my sharing at the meeting tonight, I closed with these comments from page 133, of the Big Book:
"We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free. We cannot subscribe to the belief that this life is a vale of tears, though it once was
just that for many of us. But it is clear that we made our own misery. God didn't do it. Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery, but if trouble comes, cheerfully capitalize it as an opportunity to demonstrate His omnipotence."
My thoughts and love and caring -- I give back to you all.
Thank you, A.A., the Fellowship and the Principles, and God, for all that you have given to me, so that I have something goog that I can give unto others.
Dallas B.

Look on the bright side -- if we had Nvidia cards, we would never get open source 3d acceleration
don't worry, we will get HD 5870 3D acceleration in full speed five years down the road. And to make things even better, you will be able to actually afford to buy an HD 5870 by then! It will cost only a handful of dollars!
Look on the bright side -- if we had Nvidia cards, we would never get open source 3d acceleration
Aye agree. That's pretty much DX9 there and to me was heyday of graphics that got blown through to weirdville too quickly as it diverged from showing water nicely with the Transform and Lighting shaders and pushing lots of high quality textures. Then things got strange with with too much attention to texture post processing and just mucking about with justifying so much shader power with no more attention being paid to the hardware pipes. Sorry but it just seems stupid tryng to develope the technology to show high res textures on stupid res 2560x1600 monitors.
I have zero problems with high res textures and resolution. I like it.
But what I hate is the insane shader post processing crap! For those of you who go like "Huh?", take a look at Need For Speed: Shift. Me and a friend of mine call if NFS: Shit. No wait... NFS: Underground. When you accelerate you get such an insane motion blur. There are purple flares everywhere around 'tracks' and hit the gas and the entire screen turns into giant purple poo. It's like: "hey we didn't get gameplay already but let's now destroy the entire vision to mask it". Ulgh...
Seriously... death to those games. Die in a fire. Those games need to me made ilegal. Gaming got too commercial and as a natural effect all games now need to apeal to john doe no brain who wants to be a super hero by playing semi-interactive b-movie action scenes.
What do I love about graphics? Everyday believability, like the outdoor 'scenes' of Half-Life 2. Death to the rest...
What does this mean: "r600g: add support for all R6XX/R7XX asic" ? Does it mean my r600 card can worth with Galliium now?
It probably means that your card will work as well as the other cards are working under r600g right now. In other words, not usable yet.
from the mesa/mesa git repo ( http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/log/ ) I've found:
r600g: drop compiler stuff and switch over dumb tgsi assembler
Writing a compiler is time consuming and error prone in
order to allow r600g to further progress in the meantime
i wrote a simple tgsi assembler, it does stupid thing but
i would rather keep the code simple than having people
trying to optimize code it does.
Could someone comment onthat and explain what it means, please?
Jerome was working on a new shader compiler for 600g rather than re-using shader compiler code from the "classic" r600 mesa driver. That was something which needed to be done at some point (the shader compiler in 600c is really more of an assembler) but it sounds like Jerome didn't want to hold up getting the rest of the 600g driver going so he put in a simple shader compiler for now. It's what we ended up doing for the initial 600c driver so I certainly understand his rationale.
If your next question is "why didn't he use the shader compiler from 600c ?" part of the answer is that the input format is different between "classic" and Gallium3d drivers - one uses Mesa IR while the other uses TGSI. For 3xx-5xx the same compiler could be used because the Gallium3d wrapper code converted TGSI back to mesa IR allowing the use of the existing compiler.
Thanks for your quick answer
So, that part "...he put in a simple shader compiler for now." means, he's actually still working on that new shader compiler and that current solution (the TGSI assembler) is like a "quick and dirty" (not being really dirty) solution being less efficient/less featured/less complete?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Most travellers come to Marrakech hoping to find exotic-looking people, ornate palaces and treasure-filled souks. They want to take a magic carpet ride into the world of the Arabian Nights - and to be able to buy the carpet afterwards. Amazingly, Marrakech manages to live up to this fantasy.
The magic of Marrakech has a lot to do with its setting. It lies at the foot of the High Atlas, on an ancient trade route through the Sahara. You can feel the energy of Africa in the Djemaa el Fna, Marrakech's main square. For almost a thousand years the square has played host to a nightly carnival of singers, tumblers, sorcerers, herbalists, story-tellers and snake charmers. Overlooking this vast open-air show is the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque, the highest and most beautiful building in the city.
Then there are the souks. You can wander down miles of labyrinthine passageways, illuminated by shafts of sunlight, watching cloth dyers, wood carvers, jewellery-makers, leather workers and blacksmiths at work. There are temptations on all sides; Touareg jewellery, trilobites, spices, apothecarist's potions, colonial bric-à-brac, colourful slippers, silk tassels, hanging lanterns, leather bags, wicker baskets and yes, carpets, in every design and colour. Read more
Away from the medina is another Marrakech. The peaceful Majorelle Gardens, beautifully restored by Yves St.Laurent; the splendidly over-the-top Bahia Palace; the ancient medressa of Ben Youssef; the fashionable shops, bars and restaurants of Guéliz where you can sip a cocktail surrounded by a crowd as hip as any to be found in Paris or London.
Many visitors choose to stay in one of Marrakech's many riads, traditional courtyard houses in the medina. Alternatively, you can head for one of the many modern hotels in Guéliz or the Palmeraie. Further afield is the Marrakech countryside, home to some of the city's smartest hotels and hideaways. Staying in the Marrakech countryside means a more relaxing lifestyle, fabulous views of the mountains and quick access to Marrakech when you need it.

text: For centuries invaders have coveted the treasures of Ukraine. And for centuries they have been guarded by Grandfather (Nikolai Nademsky - Earth). This mysterious treasure remains hidden at Mount Zvenigora eluding the often violent search conducted by Poles, Cossacks and Germans in the course of centuries. In the turbulent years of the twentieth century, the treasure is sought by his descendants in the hope of recovering a past in danger of being lost. A "cinematographic poem", Zvenigora moves from past to present, combining reality with fantasy. It conveys the spirit of Ukrainian history, its transition from a rural, agricultural society to the modern world of industrialization and its discontents.

This is Long's first seat in political office.[2]
Long is set to run for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Long is one of the most reliable Republican votes, meaning he can be considered a safe vote for the Republican Party in Congress.
Long was born in Springfield, Missouri. He attended the University of Missouri from 1973 to 1976, but did not finish his degree, later going back to school at the Missouri Auction School. [3]
Long owns Billy Long Auctions, LLC, and has been voted best auctioneer in the Ozarks for seven years in a row. Billy is also a former talk radio show host on KWTO AM 560 in Springfield, with a listening area that covered 95 counties, including all of the Seventh Congressional District.[4]
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Long serves on the following committees:[5]
- Committee on Energy and Commerce
- Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade
- Subcommittee on Communications and Technology
- Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
Long served on the following committees:[6]
- Homeland Security Committee
- Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence
- Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies
- Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Management
- Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
- Subcommittee on Aviation
- Subcommittee on Highways and Transit
- Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials
Campaign themes
On his campaign website, Long listed thirteen issues. They were:[7]
- Conservative Values
- On his website, Long said, "A truly just and economic system is one that allows the individual to keep the fruits of his own mental and physical labor. That system is capitalism and it has done more to lift up the human condition from poverty than any other system in the history of the world. The government should not be in the business of choosing winners and losers. When the government tries to interfere in the market place, such as with bailouts, it rewards bad behavior by transferring wealth from those who made smart investments to those who made bad investments. Not only is this practice an irresponsible use of government, it leaves us poorer as a society."
- Abortion
- On his website, Long said, "I am 100 percent pro-life. I believe in the sanctity of human life, that life begins at conception, and in protecting the rights of the unborn."
- Agriculture
- On his website, Long said, "Agriculture is a vital part of the Seventh District's economy. It is important that Congress support the growth and development of the agriculture industry by fighting for policies that will encourage economic growth in Missouri and nationwide. The United States has been the world's leading agricultural producer for many years and with our vast natural resources we need to keep it that way. Agricultural products are a source of significant exports, which benefits our overall economy while providing Americans with a stable, safe, and nutritious food supply."
- Education
- On his website, Long said, "The education of our children is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The years before a child reaches kindergarten are among the most critical in his or her life. That is why I support programs such as Parents as Teachers, which was started by Senator Kit Bond. This program gives parents the resources they need to best prepare their children for school. Such programs encourage parents to become more engaged in their children's learning process from an early age. I also believe we must do what we can to keep students engaged through their elementary and secondary education."
- Energy & Environment
- On his website, Long said, "We need an all-of-the-above approach to solve this problem. We haven't built an oil refinery in this country in over 35 years. We need more oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy production combined with more wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal energies. This will lower prices, create jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and strengthen our national security."
- Health Care
- On his website, Long said, "People, not the government, are the source of prosperity in our country and they make the American health care system the envy of the world. What we need are commonsense solutions that will strengthen our health care system instead of stimulating debt and eliminating patient choice. A health care system where insurance can be bought across state lines so insurers compete against each other and lowers cost for patients."
- Homeland Security
- On his website, Long said, "Today there are many challenges facing our country and none is greater than keeping our people safe. As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, I am doing everything in my power to make sure we are protected and that those who serve on the front lines have the tools they need to get the job done."
- Immigration
- On his website, Long said, "While the total number of illegal immigrants is unknown, the number ranges in the millions. These illegal immigrants place strains on our social support networks, our infrastructure, and routinely evade the basic laws that govern society. As Americans we pride ourselves on our ability to incorporate immigrants into our unique American culture. Unfortunately illegal immigration resists this unifying influence and results in the creation of a near parallel society. We must enforce our laws and encourage people to become Americans the legal way."
- National Defense
- On his website, Long said, "At a time when we are fighting wars overseas, we must continue to support our troops. Our service men and women make our military the strongest in the world. They defend our nation and our way of life against those who would destroy our safety, freedom, and values. Congress must give them our unwavering support to complete their mission as quickly and safely as possible."
- Small Business
- On his website, Long said, "Small businesses are the heart-beat of this economy, representing 99.7% of all companies in America, employing half of all private sector employees and accounting for over half of the private sector economy. Americans do not owe our prosperity to the government; we owe it to the men and women who work to achieve their dreams."
- Taxes
- On his website, Long said, "I am a proud cosponsor of a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would limit the ability of the government to spend more than it takes in or to tax the American public beyond a fixed percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This amendment would force responsible spending practices by Congress and help us pay down the national debt. If we don't act now, we will suffer permanent economic harm from our excessive tax and spending burdens."
- Transportation and Infrastructure
- On his website, Long said, "In addition to serving on the Homeland Security Committee, I also serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has jurisdiction over many forms of transportation: aviation, maritime, waterborne, roads, bridges, mass transit, and railroads."
- Veterans
- On his website, Long said, "While we can never satisfy the debt we owe America's fallen heroes and their families, Congress must continue to put our troops, our veterans, and their families first. At a time when our service members are returning home from multiple wars and conflicts across the globe, we must provide veterans with the support they have rightfully earned. Our veterans have honorably served their country and it is time for their country to serve them." [7]

2012 Cup of African Nations
Were back in Gabon, so lets see the last four nations start their campaigns.
January 23rd: Egypt 0-0 Mali
One might expect a match between last years Afrovision runners-up and last years third-place finishers to be replete with goals, but alas, that was not the case. Mikael Schølers Mali certainly started the better, but their first half shots were almost exclusively from long range, and had they taken the time to create better chances, they might have been rewarded with the opener. The second half saw some better football; Mali were still on top, but their chances were better, and Tyler Burrowss Egypt also fashioned some good opportunities of their own. But still, no goals were scored.
Man of the Match: Sherif Ekramy, GK, Egypt (7.4)
Code:Group C # Nation P W D L F A GD Pts 1 Morocco 1 1 0 0 1 0 +1 3 2 Egypt 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 Mali 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 4 Benin 1 0 0 1 0 1 -1 0January 23rd: Guinea 2-1 DR Congo
The goals started flowing rather early on in this match. Six minutes in, Conglese leftback Hérita Ilunga fouled Guineas right winger Ousmane Camara in the penalty area. Pascal Feindouno was on hand to convert the spot kick. Just five minutes later, however, the ball was in the net at the other end. A nice spell of Congelese possession ended with Lomana LuaLua launching the ball into the goals top-left corner. Craig Hoppers DR Congo fashioned chance after chance throughout the first half, but their strikeforce werent particularly clinical, and they also met with a solid performance by Guinean goalkeeper Nabymoussa Yattara. Chip Buttys side got the next goal, when Ismael Bangoura completed a superb solo run by sidefooting the ball into the net. Guinea continued to create chances, as well as restrict those of DR Congo, and they earned their victory through sturdy control of the play in the closing half hour.
Man of the Match: Ismael Bangoura, FW, Guinea (7.9)
So each team has played a game now, and things are looking good. Next time, we see the second fixtures for some teams from Group A and Group B.Code:Group D # Nation P W D L F A GD Pts 1 Tunisia 1 1 0 0 3 0 +3 3 2 Guinea 1 1 0 0 2 1 +1 3 3 DR Congo 1 0 0 1 1 2 -1 0 4 Togo 1 0 0 1 0 3 -3 0

Nice. I have to figure out how to cover up the clip in bang so I don't have to keep cutting my hair every time I want a bang.

Bangs cover a multitude of sins, from blemishes in young years to wrinkles in old. I'm loving the chipped, whispy yet full bangs I have. They do soften my jawline as well.
by GigiSD Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 08:47PM Report as inappropriate
I think the author looks great both with and without bangs -- and I'm hoping her next article is about how to apply eyeliner like she does, because I like that too. :) Every hairstyle I've had since midway through college has had bangs -- they help soften my square face.

Not that long ago the fashionable thought was that this antiquity-rich city of Grand Canal palaces and marble churches had become a doomed metropolis whose glory days of influence was behind it. Wrong. That ultimate savior—big money—has moved in, revitalizing ancient masterpieces and creating stunning contemporary architecture, a world-class Biennale, and cutting-edge galleries that line the city's winding calli—to say nothing of our great boutique and luxury Venice hotels.In fact, the Vatican, itself, just got back into the business of art patronage with an exhibit about rebirth and renewal at the Venice Biennale. Renewal seems particularly fitting for Venice today, where a great influx of artists, actors, and creative people have returned in high style, raising spirits dramatically (walk through the lobby of a Venice resort of luxury hotel, into a neighborhood bar or by an out-of-the-way gallery if you don't believe us).
Below find a list of our selection of boutique and luxury hotels in Venice.
Ca' Pisani
Venice, Italy
A cultural meeting point for artists and critics of all stripes, this classical-meets-1930's-Futurist hotspot is a work of art itself.
Venice, Italy
Enjoy bespoke service, a 16th-century nobleman's house, luxurious surroundings designed by Philippe Starck, and a central locale in enchanting Venice.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with The Yadkin River Keeper, are sponsoring three drug abuse prevention events, named Operation Medicine Drop. These events are open to Forsyth County residents who would like to dispose of expired or unwanted prescription medications in their homes.
Since Operation Medicine Drop began in 2009, approximately 52.8 million doses have been turned in by North Carolina residents. Safe and proper disposal of old medications through Operation Medicine Drop events helps cut down on prescription drug abuse, environmental damage to streams and rivers and prevents contamination of the local water supply.
Nationwide, fatal drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Prescription and over-the-counter medications cause more than three-fourths of all unintentional poisonings in North Carolina, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health.
The average North Carolinian fills 14 prescriptions annually. Of the drugs dispensed, approximately 40% are not used. The unused medications are often disposed of in the garbage or flused down the toilet. Both practices lead to water contamination. In 2004, the U.S. Geological Survey identified 100 pharmaceutical contaminants in rivers and streams. The introduction of these chemicals is detrimental to aquatic life and those who directly or indirectly drink from the water supply.

Another variation of the Cincinnati bowtie, where the giver flatulates in the victim's face. Only this time, the flatulation becomes a shart, and the victim receives a heap of hot brown lumps right there on the neck. If the lumps come in a ferocious spray to the face, the steamer becomes the Windy City Carl (no seran wrap).

The Old Iroquois County Courthouse was constructed in 1866, with two additions built in 1881 and 1927. In the early 1960's an Iroquois County resident, Mrs. Katherine Clifton, bequeathed to the county in her will a large sum of money and a site upon which to build a new courthouse. The old courthouse was advertised for sale and fell into disuse. In 1967, during the Centennial Celebration of Watseka, the Iroquois County Historical Society was organized and circulated petitions throughout the county not to sell the Old Courthouse. The petitions were approved by the County Board of Supervisors, and the Old Courthouse re-opened as a museum that same year.
Today, a visit to the Old Courthouse is a step back in time where you can visit the old County Jail, see recreations of an old-time back porch, a Victorian parlor, old time general store, post office, one-room schoolhouse, and much more.
It is a place where you can stroll past showcase after showcase featuring one-of-a-kind treasures of a bygone era, with something to interest nearly everyone: fossil and mineral collections, Indian artifacts, the latest fashions of the Victoria era, a collection of over a hundred antique dolls, medical instruments from the pioneer days, and much more.
Even though the Old Courthouse is a storehouse of things past, the present is well represented also. Reknowned for its wonderful acoustics, the Old Courtroom now resounds with applause at the many concerts, plays and recitals held there each year.
We invite you to visit our art exhibitions featuring talented local artists, or attend one of our Spotlights; featuring communities, organizations, occupations or hobbies. Our genealogical research library is famous throughout the country, and our new natural history area displays animals of our area in a lifelike setting. The Country Store stocks books and maps about Iroquois County, as well as toys, crafts, and souvenirs.
Visit the Upcoming Events Page to find out what's happening.
Your generous donations are greatly appreciated. We would like to thank everyone for their support in the past and hope you can continue to support this beautiful old building. If you have not been to the Museum for a while, please take time to stop in and view our new displays.
Notice: The Museum will be closed on Sunday, April 5th in observance of Easter.

Phew !!
If you were in Adelaide, I'd be there for sure. But a bit far to get to Brisbane each sat morning Mind you, I fully understand addiction (long story) and wish you all the best. I just did a ride with mates on the weekend (75km at an average of 28.6km/hr) and am looking at doing some big rides approaching 100km soon as well. Wish you all the best Cheers Michael B PS Don't need the help with the frame now, budget constraints took care of that, but if I can do anything for you, let me know

Could someone please ride with this bloke. He's quite harmless (has a letter from his doctor to say so ) and the second head really isn't a problem once you get him to ride behind you
Pleased you had a good ride. I spent the day cooking for cowboys. They dont cause no trouble. I cant stand their music. But I like thier money in my pocket. If they want to give it to me, who am I to argue.
Will ride tomorrow. Have a race to handicap. Will only be a small feild. But we will have fun. I plan to ride with a small hangover. Tonight will be fun as well. I would love to bring my bike to QLD for a ride. Cairns to the top end is a goal.
See, if you'd bought a sensible STEEL bike in the first place, you wouldn't be wearing out frames quicker than tyres and people would actually want to ride with you
Richard any resemblence between reality and this post is YOUR problem I had a good bike ... so I fixed it

College History
Rhode Island College is located on a 180-acre park-like campus in the Mount Pleasant section of Providence. This location combines a suburban atmosphere with easy access to the benefits and resources of the metropolitan area.
Academic offerings are provided in five schools: the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development, the School of Management, the School of Nursing, and the School of Social Work.
Rhode Island College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and has also received accreditation for specific programs from the following agencies: Council on Social Work Education, National Association of Schools of Art and Design, National Association of Schools of Music, National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
When the college was established in 1854 as the Rhode Island State Normal School, its goal was to provide teacher preparation to young people from Rhode Island. With the dedication of a new building in 1898, the institution began a period of steady growth, evolving first into a teachers' college, the Rhode Island College of Education. In the 1958-59 academic year the college moved to its current Mount Pleasant campus, and in 1959 was renamed Rhode Island College to reflect its new purpose as a comprehensive institution of higher education. With an enrollment predominantly from Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut, the institution historically has served as a "College of Opportunity" for first-generation college students.
The college now serves approximately 9,000 students in courses and programs both on and off campus.
Rhode Island College is the first of the three public institutions of higher education that operate under the aegis of the Board of Governors for Higher Education. The board consists of 13 individuals appointed by the governor.

Strange... SystemD should crush other inits... Maybe wait for the beta?
Phoronix: Is Fedora's Boot Time Increasing?
The last time we closely examined the boot performance of Fedora Linux was in 2008 when comparing the boot times from Fedora Core 4 through Fedora 8. However, with more distributions taking pride in recent months over shortening their boot time -- with Canonical for example having worked towards a ten second Ubuntu boot time -- we decided to see how long it's taking Fedora to put its hat on these days. With the three Intel notebooks we used from our recent Fedora power consumption review, we measured the boot times using Bootchart on the Fedora 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 Alpha releases.
Strange... SystemD should crush other inits... Maybe wait for the beta?
Too bad, but it's better to wait for SysD to become feature complete and stable.
Realy something that I'm looking foward to; faster boot times, less/minimaly required RAM usage, more flexebility and self-healing stability.
I stopped caring about boot times ever since I bought a SSD
I think that systemd was initially slated for F14, but a few missing features held it back. It is currently in rawhide (F15) and its state is listed as "complete".
In any case though, got to remember that these test systems are LAPTOPS, and not ones of particularly good performance. From personal experience, which involves a little bit of boot tweaking, F13 absolutely CRUSHES every previous version of Fedora, especially with an SSD. The SSD boot time of F13 is less than HALF the SSD boot time of, say, F10 on a 16GB AAO or a 32GB T91, both of which I have personally measured.
I also note a major major reduction in boot time on my old luggable Turion/4GB/nvidia6100/160GB-pata from F9 to F13 didn't try anything in between since it wasn't an interesting machine until nouveau was in a decent and usable state. Mind you, I'm running 2.6.35 on it with some custom happiness . Boot time is way faster than its ever been.
Boot time is irrelevant as long as it's faster than the amount of time to get a coffee. My machine takes forever just to get through the BIOS stuff, there's only so much to be done.
That Fedora startup bug where they tried to initialize all the network cards all at once, triggering a race condition, that was just dandy.
I think there were some issues with F14 having all services ready for systemd, so they moved it back. Which isn't uncommon.
One thing that would be worth checking; I believe default Fedora install has LVM layer on laptops, which have a single HDD.
Obviously for instances where a machine will only have a single drive, LVM is a bit redundant, also slows down start-up times a bit.
An install without LVM, and on SSD, as above posters have said, the boot times improve significantly.
