Artist Spotlight: Paul Reitz
BY Advocate.com Editors
August 23 2014 4:00 AM ET
We were very happy to run a portfolio of Paul Reitz's work in 2010. We came across the original images on the hard drive and suddenly had the urge to see more. Paul quickly responded with these new images and a few words to fill us in on what has been happening for him (and his models) in the last few years. You can see the original images we ran further along in this collection.
Paul tells us, "I've been very active with Axiom for Men, which has received some outstanding press for its focus on LGBT charities. Axiomformen.com is the website, and you'll see some shots of Stu Reardon — by me — there.
"Don Hood, Levi Jackson, and Stu Reardon are my muses and good friends in various aspects of the fashion and male beauty worlds. Stu and I are working on a calendar for the coming year, and I'm catching up on editing some special projects in advance of the fashion week madness which is coming up in early September. I'll be shooting some editorial fashion work in the coming month and focusing on some fitness and body/beauty shoots as well.
"Matthew Zink of Charlie by Matthew Z was kind enough to supply swimwear for the shoot with Bobby Sullivan on a blazing hot summer day in Tulsa, my hometown."

Meet:Patty Digital Media and Animation, '17 Patty Padilla, a Manhattan resident, came to Alfred State undecided until she met a student in the Digital Media and Animation Department. "In my head I always had all these ideas and stories; this program helps me organize my thoughts and share them with the world." Patty was thrilled but skeptical when she heard about the program. "I immediately went and talked to a professor about the possibilities for jobs and what I could do with the degree. He sat with me for an hour and told me in detail about the many types of animation I could go into. I didn't think you could really make a career out of something you loved. I always thought being creative was more of a hobby. Alfred State taught me that I can make it into a career." 1 "This mission trip was supposed to give me a global perspective, maybe even inspire me to get civically engaged. It wasn't supposed to totally and irreversibly change my life." -Kyle "Christian" Perry, '14 Architectural Technology After touring Honduras's Escuela Hospital and witnessing the devastation caused by such a lack of resources, Christian is now a major force in the movement to end preventable infant death in Honduras. For his senior thesis, Christian spent hours designing plans for a medically efficient, functional new infant care hospital in Honduras—a project that he intends to continue working on in Honduras after graduation. 2 A state of the art Student Leadership Center.

Fear of Heeling
Deb, yes, this does help, but - you can''t really picture that big bulb underneath unless you''ve seen it out of the water, no matter how much you trust the woman who describes it to you. And, you''re right, steering the boat can alleviate most fears. But if someone in your party is so uncomfortable as to feel the need to wear a life jacket on a clear, flat, calm day; best for all to wear one to make her feel even less unafraid. In my experience, when it starts out like that, on a nice, calm day, you all end up enjoying yourselves. Unless, of course, there is the fear of the giant squid (hey, we all have our own ghosts)... But, we got over that, and enjoyed many a sail after.

Vietnam Airlines plans to launch a Hanoi-Osaka Kansai service in January to fill the void left by Japan Airlines, which is withdrawing from the route.
The service will be operated at least thrice-weekly, says an official at Vietnam's flag carrier who wishes to remain anonymous.
JAL will place its code on the service, he adds, as part of an agreement between the carriers to codeshare on flights on the Vietnam-Japan sector.
On 5 November, JAL said that it is cutting its Osaka Kansai-Hanoi service on 17 January. This is part of its wider plan to drop several international and domestic routes in the coming months in an effort to become profitable.

Pune: If you are not satisfied with the 'makeover' packages offered by hair loss or weight loss clinics, and think that your money has gone down the drain, do not fear as there may be hope. A man from Satara who paid Rs18,000 for a hair loss treatment, realising that it didn't work wonders as claimed, dragged the doctor to consumer forum.
Not only was he awarded full refund, including registration fee, but got another Rs8,000 as compensation for mental harassment and for legal fees, in a case pleaded by lawyer Kiran Ghune.
About three years ago, Kiran Varude, came across an advertisement by a homeopathic clinic for a treatment for hair loss. After paying Rs300 towards registration fees, he enrolled in a three-month programme costing Rs18,000 at the clinic in Pune's Koregaon park.
In his plaint before additional district consumer grievance redressal forum, Varude alleged that the clinic director Kavita Sonawane assured him of a permanent solution for hair loss, but 15 months later, Varude realised that the hair loss treatment is not working. After failing to get his money back, he filed case in forum alleging inferior quality treatment and disparity in promised results.
Since Sonawane didn't respond to notice sent by forum, the proceedings continued and in a recent order, forum headed by panel members V P Utpat and Geeta Ghatge ordered Sonawane to return Rs 18,300 to Varude which he paid as treatment fees, along with an additional amount of Rs3,000 for legal expenses and Rs5,000 for physical and mental harassment. The amount has to be paid with six weeks.

This was passed along to me. Not sure where they got it so hopefully it is accurate.
Interesting facts:
Top 3 easiest schedules this year based on opponent wins (league average is 120):
1st - Atlanta (105)
2nd - Cincinnati (106)
3rd - Indianapolis (108)
All three are in the playoffs.
Remaining playoff teams:
8th - Denver (114)
14th - Washington (120.5)
15th - Baltimore (121)
18th - New England (123)
18th - Houston (123)
21st - Seattle (124)
23rd - San Fransisco (124.5)
25th - Green Bay (125)
29th - Minnesota (127)
Detroit finished last with 133. At 4 and 12, 10 of their losses came against teams with 10 wins or more, finishing 1-10 against teams with winning records.
Denver has 2 wins against teams with winning records - all the other playoff teams have 3 or more. And those two wins came against a banged up Baltimore team in disarray in the middle of their 1-4 streak at the end of the season, and a Cincinnati team whose 3 wins against teams with winning records came against a Washington team early in the year before they got hot, an inconsistent Giants team, and a Baltimore team against it's backup QB. And as stated above, Cincinnati had the 2nd easiest schedule.
Denver's other opponents with winning records? Atlanta (13-3), Houston, (12-4), and New England (12-4) - all losses. I know all those losses were early in the year but Denver hasn't proven to anyone that they are the "team to beat". But they do have Peyton Manning...
Most impressive team against teams with winning records? Seattle with 5 wins and 1 loss. Atlanta, as easy as their schedule has been, is 3 and 0.
Other playoff teams vs teams with winning records:
San Fransisco: 4-3
Houston: 4-4
Minnesota: 4-5
Green Bay: 4-5
Cincinnati: 3-2
New England: 3-3
Washington: 3-3
Indianapolis: 3-3
Baltimore: 3-4
Pittsburgh is the only other team to have a winning record at 4-3 vs teams with winning records. Chicago, who at 10-6 just missed out on the playoffs due to a tie breaker, suffered all 6 losses to teams with winning records. All of Denver's, Houston's, and Green Bay's losses were also to teams with winning records. Dallas, at 8-8, suffered 7 of their losses to teams with winning records. 5 of Minnesota's 6 losses were to teams with winning records, as were 3 of New England's 4 losses.
Average opponents' wins in games won:
Seattle: 8.5
San Fransisco: 7.6
New England: 7.5
Minnesota: 7.3
Washington: 7.2
Green Bay: 7.0
Baltimore: 7.0
Houston: 6.9
Atlanta: 6.7
Indianapolis: 6.5
Denver: 6.2
Cincinnati: 6.1

Figure 3.
Information integration for a thalamocortical-like architecture. a. Optimization of information integration for a system that is both functionally specialized and functionally integrated. Shown is the causal interaction diagram for a network whose connection matrix was obtained by optimization for Φ (Φ = 74 bits). Note the heterogeneous arrangement of the incoming and outgoing connections: each element is connected to a different subset of elements, with different weights. Further analysis indicates that this network jointly maximizes functional specialization and functional integration among its 8 elements, thereby resembling the anatomical organization of the thalamocortical system [8]. b. Reduction of information integration through loss of specialization. The same amount of connectivity, distributed homogeneously to eliminate functional specialization, yields a complex with much lower values of Φ (Φ = 20 bits). c. Reduction of information integration through loss of integration. The same amount of connectivity, distributed in such a way as to form four independent modules to eliminate functional integration, yields four separate complexes with much lower values of Φ (Φ = 20 bits).

"For me the most beautiful loch in Scotland" Loch Assynt by scottishvisitor
Loch Assynt Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 20 photos
During our Summer trip to Sutherland it was never our intention to revisit our past haunts. It had been raining hard for just one day of our holiday so we decided to head west to see if the sun was shining there. We were not disappointed - glorious summer sunshine was here at Loch Assynt. This place was busy, for the Highlands anyway, people were sitting on deck chairs, fishing in the loch or just like us - caught spell bound in this unsurpassed scenery. I'm so grateful we took the time to revist this most beautiful spot, I did say it was busy, but you could still feel a sense of isolation as if this whole experience belonged to you alone.
- Pros:Feels like the beginning and end of the world
- Cons:What is there not to like?

What a lovely area to visit in both summer and winter. Fantastic photos.
Stunning photography!! Beautiful views of the Loch and surrounding mountains while enjoying such pretty wild flowers! Perfect.
Loch Assynt looks isolated and wild--its beauty probably preserved due to this feature--I can see why it calls one to look, absorb and tarry a while...
Simply stunning scenery :~)
I do agree; the view is absolutely perfect.
Breathtaking scenery in your wonderful pictures. Pity it's hard to get there. Doubt if my husband agrees to drive that far.
Wow, wonderful!! I love how dark green the grass (?) on that little island is, and I want summer now.... Haha, postbus transport, together with the mail sounds great. Driving (me), well, it would maybe kill me, haha :-)

Steve Carell talks 'Anchorman 2'
Actor says he hopes film is 'exactly the same' as originalBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Steve Carell has spoken out about his hopes for the forthcoming Anchorman sequel.
Anchorman: The Legend Continues is set for release at the end of 2013 and Carell will reprise his role as dim-witted reporter Brick Tamland in the film. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter about what he wanted from the flick and his character, he said:
He will not evolve. He will devolve. My hope with the movie was that it's going to be exactly the same... nobody changes.
The newsroom sequel has just begun shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. Original cast members Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, David Koechner, Paul Rudd and Christina Applegate have all signed on to reprise their roles for the newsroom sequel, which has just begun shooting in Atlanta, Georgia. James Marsden is also set to appear as a rival news anchor and Kristen Wiig has also joined the cast.
Released in 2004, the original Anchorman was a parody of a 70s TV newsroom written by Ferrell and director Adam McKay. The pair have also teamed up to write the sequel, which is slated for release on December 20.
Speaking last year, McKay revealed a few teasers about the sequel's plot, saying: "I don't want to give away too much, but I'll just give a couple of ideas that we've kicked around. Keep in mind we're still writing the story, but I'll say one phrase for you: custody battle. I'll give you that. I'll give you another one: bowling for dollars."

Mark Your Calendars and Look to the Heavens
The 2011 calendar is chocked full of upcoming celestial goodies and you don't have to be an astronomer to enjoy them. There's no need for fancy equipment. All you have to do is look to the heavens on a clear and dark night on the right date, and odds are good that you will witness a spectacular meteor shower.
Quite simply, meteors are debris particles or "space dust" that range in size from a grain of sand to extremely large boulders. For the most part, these debris particles are thrown from comets that orbit our sun. When this debris enters earth's atmosphere in significant numbers, it is called a meteor shower. Meteors appear to radiate from a point and quickly streak across the sky. Through the centuries meteor showers have been referred to as "shooting stars" or "falling stars."
Meteor showers tend to appear on a regular basis and are named for the constellation where they occur. For example, the Perseid shower is named for the constellation Perseus.
A few of the most prominent showers, measured by activity and intensity, include the Perseids shower which peaks on August 12-13, and averages 60 meteors in an hour. The Orionids on October 21-22, average about 20 meteors an hour. Look for the Leonids shower on November 17-18, which will display about 40 meteors an hour. The Geminids shower is a colorful, high-frequency shower that will occur on December 13-14, and will include white, yellow, blue, red, and green meteors streaking the night sky.
Enjoy the show and don't forget to make a wish upon a falling star.

Salma Hayek Rents Out Her Hollywood Hills Starter Home For $9,500 A Month
August 22, 2013 10:03 AM
Salma Hayek has put her starter home on the rental market for $9,500 a month, and if you've got the cash, the stunning pad could be yours starting this October.
Hayek purchased the Hollywood Hills house back in 1996 for just $538,000, and we're not exactly sure what she'd be able to sell it for these days, but it's almost 2,900 square feet with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and killer views. We're guessing she could list it for at least six times what she paid for it...
The one-story ranch house was built in 1962, and it sits in the exclusive Outpost Estates neighborhood where stars like Matthew Perry, Michael C. Hall and Ryan Reynolds have all lived. In addition to a pool and spacious deck, there are high beamed ceilings and large windows, so the views from inside the home are amazing as well. There is an eat-in kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, and the master suite boasts a massive walk-in closet. It may not be brand new, but we love the charm and the location!

Wise OakRead MorePetrissage: A Tension-Relieving Technique Swedish massage's five basic movements yield a bounty of benefits. Find out more about the massage's kneading technique, petrissage, with Groupon?s introduction. Kneading, rolling, and squeezing?this, in a few words, is petrissage, a type of Swedish massage technique that focuses on compression and release. Working in combination with Swedish massage's five other movements, these deep-reaching motions are designed to lift soft tissue away from its underlying structures, effectively stretching muscles and other soft tissues and promoting circulation so all your blood doesn?t pile up in your elbows. Specific maneuvers include kneading with the whole hand, using the thumbs to apply pressure to thinner tissue, and rolling skin between the fingers to prevent it from adhering to the fascia (that is, sheets of connective tissue) below and causing stiffness. Massage oil or cream is often used to help these strokes glide smoothly and avoid pinching the skin. Petrissage, like Swedish massage in general, often results in increased muscle mobility, improved peristaltic, or bowel, movement when performed on the abdomen and, of course, a sense of noodly relaxation.300 North Washington Street, #102Falls Church, VA US

TV pact puts SEC in homes, recruits' minds coast to coast
If you don't believe timing is almost everything, then talk to Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive.
In the last three years, the SEC has been the nation's hottest college athletic conference, mainly because of success in the four most visible sports -- football, men's and women's basketball and baseball.
Since 2006, those sports have won a combined eight national championships, including three straight in football, as well as posting a 19-7 record in postseason bowls (5-1 in BCS bowls) during that stretch.
Those were major bargaining chips for Slive when he closed out negotiations last summer on the most expansive and most lucrative college sports TV contract, which goes into effect with the beginning of football season this week. The SEC's new 15-year deals with ESPN for $2.2 billion and with CBS for $800 million will give the SEC more than 5,500 televised events on ESPN alone for the life of the contract.
Every SEC football game will be televised, even the nonconference games, starting Thursday with South Carolina at North Carolina State. Also, every SEC men's basketball league game will be shown. And that's just the tip of exposure for all of the league's 20 sports.
"We'll be utilizing every known distribution platform," Slive said, "even mobile phones. We will be the most widely distributed conference in the country. We've become a national brand."
The financial windfall also has given the SEC unparalleled financial security.
For instance, this year, each of the 12 SEC schools will receive an increase in annual TV revenue of $4.2 million to about $10 million, and that figure will escalate over the course of the contract.
So yes, Vanderbilt will make more money this year than storied Notre Dame, which pockets $9 million annually from its TV deal with NBC.
Some conferences, like the Big Ten, aren't worried, since that league has TV contracts with ABC and ESPN and its own Big Ten Conference network.
"I am happy as a commissioner of a college sports conference to see the ACC do well and the Big East do well and the Pac-10 and the SEC do well," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. "If we don't all do well and if the media market doesn't continue to grow and if people don't come to our games, we are not going to be able to afford the broad-based opportunities because we have two sports, men's basketball and football, that support a broader array of offerings."
Other leagues, like the Atlantic Coast Conference, are clearly concerned. The ACC's TV football contracts net $37.6 million annually, pocket change compared to the SEC.
"The SEC deal is certainly huge in terms of the dollars and the length of the agreement," ACC commissioner John Swofford told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution during the league's preseason football media gathering in July. "There is usually a separation of some kind that is inevitable when new deals are struck. But I will admit that this separation is larger than most."
The problem for other BCS leagues is that they won't be able to get anywhere near the same deal. Slive signed off on the new SEC contracts last summer, shortly before the economy nosedived. It will be tough for other conferences to catch up.
Slive isn't worried that he might be overexposing his product.
"If history teaches, we've had extraordinary attendance the last 25 to 30 years," Slive said. "We had 6.7 million people that went to our games last year with an average attendance of 75,000 fans, filling our stadiums to 98 percent capacity.
"Television is a byproduct of that interest. One of the wonderful things that sets apart our part of the world is that going to a game is more than just attending an event. It's a way of life, it's a cultural phenomenon."
The new TV contract certainly hasn't affected season ticket sales. There have already been record season ticket numbers at Ole Miss, Mississippi State and LSU.
SEC football didn't need much help with income or exposure. According to the U.S. Department of Education, six SEC schools ranked among the top 15 revenue-producing athletic departments in 2007. Half of the SEC's head football coaches make more than $2.5 million annually.
But since the new contract even stretches the SEC regional telecasts to markets across the nation, coaches like North Carolina State's Tom O'Brien are shaking their heads.
"It's an advantage right now because it gives them the ability to have more resources," O'Brien said.
Because there is a clear dividing line in the conference between the schools with the megabudgets such as Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama and Georgia, and the rest of the league, everyone has different needs on how to spend the bonus loot.
At Tennessee, where the annual athletic budget is $87.8 million, a chunk of the new TV revenue went to the hiring of new football coach Lane Kiffin's staff.
The Vols have the highest-paid staff of assistants in the SEC at $3.325 million (not counting Kiffin's $2 million salary) this year, including $1.2 million for defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and $650,000 for recruiting coordinator/defensive line coach Ed Orgeron.
"I really think you have to spend money to make money," said Lane Kiffin, who said he took less salary so more money would be available to his staff. "When you go out, get those coaches, that's going to translate into recruiting, winning, ticket sales, I don't think you ever ask those questions again."
Tennessee's staggering salaries had a ripple effect. New Auburn football coach Gene Chizik hired a staff featuring four assistants making more than $300,000 annually. LSU is paying new defensive coordinator John Chavis $450,000 a year. Georgia gave raises to most of its staff, which will make a collective $2.02 million this season (not counting head coach Mark Richt's $2.8 million per year).
At other SEC schools such as Mississippi State, which has an athletic budget of $41 million, the money is being spread around more judiciously.
"A significant portion of it (the extra TV money) we're putting into future facility projects and into facility maintenance, something that we really haven't done before," athletic director Greg Byrne said. "And we want to build our salaries for many of our coaches who've been successful and need to be rewarded for it. We want our coaches to view Mississippi State as a destination rather than a stepping stone."
From an exposure standpoint, the new TV deals mean the traditional bottom-feeder SEC schools suddenly have the ability to recruit nationally because they are on TV every game in football and every conference game in men's basketball.
"Other conferences can downplay it all they want, but the SEC is everywhere now," said Charles Davis of Fox Sports and the NFL network. "You can tell a prospective recruit from California, 'Come play in the SEC, your parents can see you play every game on TV.'
"SEC football is not just the CBS game in the afternoon and the ESPN game at night. It's all day, it could even be a lead-in for a late-night game from Hawaii. All these other conferences better lock down their recruiting bases.
"Just reading the SEC's TV deal in cold print is tough to deal with for other conferences. But when they click on the TV and realize whatever area of the country they are in, they will see an SEC game, then it will really sink in."
To offset the SEC's coast-to-coast exposure, there's strong buzz that the Pac 10, ACC and Big 12 are looking to create a national channel combining at least two of the conferences.
That may be the only way to stop the SEC. Create a bigger army.
The big picture
Comparing the SEC's TV deal with those of other conferences:
Southeastern Conference: 15-year deals with ESPN ($2.2 billion) and CBS ($800 million), ends 2024.
Atlantic Coast Conference: 10-year deal with ABC, ESPN and Raycom (combined $560 million), ends 2011.
Big Ten Conference: 10-year deal with ESPN ($1 billion) ends 2016 and 25-year deal ($2.8 billion) with Big Ten Network, ends 2032.
Big East Conference: Six-year deal with ESPN ($200 million), ends 2014.
Pac-10 Conference: Contracts with ESPN, ABC and Fox Sports Net (amount undisclosed), ends 2012.
Big 12 Conference: Contract with Fox Sports Net ($78 million), ends 2012; ESPN ($480 million), ends 2016.

I am not religious but I am spiritual. Spirituality to me is like a bridge which connects my conscious and my soul with the almighty. I don't have a guru as yet but there are many who have played a significant role in my life. I have always believed in following my instincts and I think spirituality has helped me in following my instincts.
I try to connect my higher self through prayers and kind deeds, which every man should do in his life. I see God in my son's happy face and it makes me feel good. I forget all my tiredness and worries and my face lits up by just looking at him. There's no time set aside for connecting to God but one can remember him anytime and anywhere. Every moment of everyday is a gift so in that way. I feel that I am all the time connected to him. I do not have to take out special time for praying or to connect with the almighty.
As a kid, I would pray real hard for good grades. I think most of the kids do that. I got them even when I was sure I would not. God is great. He is the one who has helped me to trust him more and more with each passing day.

Even though the Britain's Got Talent ratings war with The Voice UK is over, Simon Cowell is still determined to undermine the rival show.
Simon Cowell looks pretty pleased with himself this week. Copyright [Wenn]
Simon Cowell is happy to talk about The Voice and have plenty of digs at the singing competition.
He told Radio 4's Today: "That show puzzles me because it starts off by saying, 'It's all about the voice'. So my first thought is, 'Why isn't this on radio?' Because what's the point of looking at them?"
[Related article: Ashleigh and Pudsey win Britain's Got Talent]
Not content with that catty comment, Simon Cowell went on to talk The Voice UK vs X Factor.

Now that Britain's Got Talent has finished, Simon Cowell has started comparing The Voice UK to his other show, X Factor.
He said: "Once they've gone through the [Blind Auditions], then suddenly I'm watching it two weeks ago and it's the same as X Factor. They've got dancers behind them, graphics, lights. Same show."
Simon Cowell was keen to point out that it's not just a one-sided slew of cheekiness, and claimed that The Voice UK was just as keen to do battle with Britain's Got Talent.
He added: "They like to have a pop at us as well."
Simon Cowell had choice words to say about The Voice UK. Copyright [BBC]
The music mogul sounds like he was pretty happy about the competition between BGT and The Voice UK in the end, but only because he sees his show was victorious.
Simon Cowell continued: "When The Voice came along, it was kind of like - roll your sleeves up, we're in for a bit of a punch up here. I'm smiling now because we're winning.
"I wasn't so happy three weeks ago but not to the point of any silliness. They were beating us and we needed to make our shows better, and that's all we did."
All this competition is well and good, but we'd like to make a request for next year. No overlaps.

1. Every square inch of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is in the Mountain Time Zone, but the time of day can depend on where you are in the park, even if you never cross a state line during your entire visit. Why can two Glen Canyon National Recreation Area visitors standing just a few feet apart have different – and absolutely accurate -- times showing on their wristwatches?
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of cabins scattered across the National Park System. But some are more significant than others.
Some helped shelter slaves on the Underground Railroad, some marked a homesteader's scrappy existence, some witnessed the births of great men and women. Do you know the story behind this cabin?
Mission 66, the program that rehabilitated and restored national parks in time for the National Park Service's 50th Anniversary back in 1966, often is cited today as an inspiration for the Centennial Challenge, but it is a program that sometimes is shrouded in mystery.
1. True or false? The Korean War Veterans National Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial were both dedicated on Memorial Day.
2. True or false? The current tally of 27 national memorials counted as National Park System units excludes three NPS units that have the word Memorial somewhere in their titles.
3. True or false?
Nature can be very geometric at times. Just look closely at snowflakes or crystals of sand. Indeed, at times nature is a master craftsman, shaping and polishing and, well, being very geometrical. And often humans, who admire the beauty of nature, try to copy it.
Does this photo reflect a slice of nature, or a knock-off of nature?

Forcedeth (MCP55) Problems
I'm using the MCP55 ethernet with the forcedeth driver. It usually works fine, but once or twice a week it will drop off the network. An ifdown ifup usually fixes the problem, but it sets me back a few hours each time, so it's more than a minor inconvenience.
It's similar to another post I found on here, but that user was using a 2.4 kernel and seemed a little outdated.
This is on 64-bit openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, with these kernels, respectively:
It gives the following output in dmesg:

kernel: eth6: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq
Re: Forcedeth (MCP55) Problems
i think i might have a hint:
compile your forcedeth driver as a module into the kernel and then modify the loadoptions of the module to
forcedeth max_interrupt_work=10
i gentoo linux this is located at /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.X

if they are going to use bump mapping in nightfall (which it already looks like), why not show off the effect with dynamic lights when spells are cast and enchantments are on someone?
the light would be the colour of the spell's profession in casting time and enchantments would be white with a tint of the colour of the enchantments profession.
if projectiles are being sent out, those should have dynamic lights too!
(don't forget the fire distortion on the ele's fire spells :D)

Author has written 35 stories for StarTrek: The Next Generation, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Broadchurch.
My current icon picture, in case you don't recognize it, is a screen cap of Matt Smith's hip bone with his pink underpants just peeking up over his jeans. All of the area that's pictured needs to be licked.
Epistolary is kicking my ass...but in a good way. I think I'll be an expert on WWII by the time this is over. Since some of you have been asking, my goal, my ambitious goal is to actually cover the full 50 years. Now that's going to take awhile and I'm not even sure it can be done, but that's my target, all the way up until Amy dies.
Stories currently in the works:
The Last Frost Fair - A little short about River's birthday with the Doctor before "A Good Man Goes To War".
Off To See The Groundhog? - This is a loooooong way off. In fact I can't imagine getting to it before I finish Epistolary but I'd like to write the fic that Chris Hardwick was talking about at Comic Con. Basically the Doctor lands in Punxsatawney and has to figure out why Phil the weather man keeps repeating his day.
Man About The House - Well, you guys talked me into it. It's the sequel to Come And Knock On Our Door and I'm having a ball writing it.
Who the hell am I: My name is Maribor, I'm Captain Picard's daughter, I play a mean Ressikan flute and I've been writing fan fiction since God was a boy. Star Trek TNG was my first love but I have stories I've written for Buffy, Angel, Xena, Hercules, WWE (nee WWF), Babylon 5, Doctor Who, X-Men and I'm probably leaving a few out. At the moment I'm a full blown Whovian and that's kind of all I'm focusing on now. Blame Matt Smith.
I could have just summed up this this whole paragraph with the word 'Nerd' couldn't I?
Fandom: At the moment almost exclusively Doctor Who. The Trek story (which don't get me wrong I absolutely love) is on indefinite hiatus. I lost the narrative thread on that one...I hope to find it again someday. Sometimes it happens, stories slip out of your hands.
Ratings/Genre I write angst but mostly I'm smutty, even my angst can be a bit on the erotic side. Slashy, Het-y, Lemony, You Must Be This Mature To Ride This Ride...so fair warning, heads up and no complainers.
What I ship: Eleven and Amy, Eleven and Rory and a lot of the time all three of them together. Most of my stuff is going to be M or (NC17 if you like) or failing that really, really angsty.
Wherein the author gets on her Doctor Who Polyamory soapbox (specifically regarding Epistolary):
I tend to ship them (Eleven/Amy/Rory) poly-amorous. I will maintain to my dying day they were written as a soft threesome for network TV. In some bizzaro world where Doctor Who is on cable, they're acknowledged as all three being together. It's not so much what was shown, it's the spaces around what wasn't shown. It's the unwritten. I'm saying it would have happened and I'm also saying that Amy chose both of them until TATM, that was really Amy's choice.
Go back and re-watch "Amy's Choice". Watch everything the Dream Lord, who is of course the darker 11 hints about, Amy's dreams, his love of redheads, "better sort your men out" and 11 even asks Rory "are we disagreeing or competing?" So he's been looking in on her dreams, lusting after her, she's his type aesthetically, he considers himself 'one of her men' and he refers to Rory as a "gooseberry" which is an unwanted extra. Amy always gets what she wants, sure it would take time and convincing but eventually ta-da, threesome. Seriously...it's math or as the Brits say "maths".
But you can also assume it's a completely platonic relationship but it's still deeper than friendship. Even if you take out the sex, they're still a threesome. Polyamory isn't dependent on sex, it's just my preference for the story/stories
Or take the word of this blogger on dilettantiquity dot com who said it much better than me.
"But I am saying that the relationship between the members of the little family on the TARDIS has, over the past couple of seasons, often looked a hell of a lot like a poly family to me. A real, stumbling-along, first-time poly family with wibbles and insecurities and doubts and a fear that it may just be too hard, but also the structure and core of a deeply loving intimacy between more than two people. (And before anyone comments to point out that the Doctor and Amy aren't – at least on screen – having a good, heteronormative shag…just don't. Don't tell me that sex is the defining factor that magically creates a 'relationship'. Don't assume it works that way for anyone other than you.)"
Ok. Here endeth the lesson. *Puts away soapbox*
I'm hoping to get around to penning some Eleven/Martha stuff but we'll see.
I'm cool with 9, I love 10 but don't think I could convincingly write his voice. But 11. Now 11 is my Doctor. He's the one that brought me to the dance that is Doctor Who and as the saying goes, "You dance with the one that brung ya." I also really like 2. I'm starting to watch the classic episodes and he's the one I'm focusing on at the moment.
What I Can't Manage:
1) I can't seem to write convincing fluff with the Doctor enjoying being surrounded by puppies and baby chicks or braiding Amy's hair, but I dig those who can do it. I like a happy Doctor story every now and then.
2) I can't write the Doctor as asexual. It just doesn't seem true to form to me. It's not how Matt plays it. It's not how David played it. It's not how Moffat pens it. He's a sexual being who has banged, at the very least Madame de Pompadour, Marilyn Monroe (implied), River Song, Queen Elizabeth the I, Mata Hari (implied), Nefretiri (implied that he wanted to) and the 9th Doctor said he'd "danced" which was clearly a euphemism for sex. Not to mention he wanted to have sex with both Amy and Rose, he didn't, he said it was because he was too old, and not human, yada yada yada, but that doesn't mean he didn't want to. I've never seen the Doctor not return a kiss from a hot chick. I'm being glib here but in truth there's a strong undercurrent within the classic fandom that likes to insist that not only is the Doctor canonically ace but that anyone who denies this fact is guilty of erasure. To them I say, you can shove your looms and your Lungbarrow up your arse.
The Doctor fucks and he's probably fantastic at it. Get over it.
What I Can't Stand: I'll be honest, I can't really stomach Rose, I mean, I truly think she's one of the most awful Mary-Sues ever created though I try to keep that in check.
But if you like her, that's awesome-sauce. You don't rock my ship, I sure as hell won't rock yours.
What I Don't Get: Folks who ship Eleven and Rose...he's moved on, kids. Folks who don't like River. Folks who think Amy didn't love Rory or just think Amy is an irritating damsel in distress. Were we watching the same show? But again, you don't rock my ship I won't rock yours. Deal?
More Crap About Me: I'm an impoverished Grad student who really should be working on my thesis instead of fan fiction but here we are. Bad speller. Frequent word leave-er out-er. Terrible self editor. Hipster-Poser. Screaming-screechy liberal. Karaoke rock star. Conspiracy theorist. Average Jane with a massive crush on the rectangle with hair otherwise known as Matt Smith. Oh and I'm American so if I get my Brit-speak wrong please forgive me but I do try.
Recently fallen in the dark hole that is RPF even though I avoided it for years. Now shameless lover of all things Mattex, Smillan and Smarvill. I'm going to hell.
That read like a personals ad, are we dating now?

UPDATE: k_peek_2000 has the best video ever...thread is here:
MAGICAL - From the HUB
sorry for making the millionth thread for the show but anways here goes...
here are the videos:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmdSZkMYzs"]magical! part I.[/ame]
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjmdSZkMYzs"]magical! part II.[/ame]
sorry for the bad quality + the visual obstructions.
in another thread i simply stated that i thought the show was "simple + charming," + i stand by that.
but now here's my ridiculously unnessecary long review that you really don't have to read...enjoy?
well actually i just decided to get rid of my review because it was kind of not smart of me to actually review the show in the preview stages despite the fact that it may change by a little or by a lot by the time of the show's "official" debut, hahaha.
but most importantly it's just like anything else…i really hate chocolate ice cream but it doesn't mean it's the worst flavor out there...plus there are billions of people who love it (bad analogy right?).
it seems there are a lot that don't enjoy the show but i do…go figure.
hopefully everyone can watch the show give it a chance + see for themselves. if you don't like i'm sorry, you'll have "remember" back soon enough + i'll just keep to my lonesome enjoying "magical" while it lasts.
anyways happy summer everyone!

Doing this alone...
I'm so sorry you're going through this.
I've never been in your situation, but all I can say is just hang in there. You don't realize how strong you are until you have no other choice. I'm glad that your mom is helping you out and I hope she's supportive emotionally as well.
Good luck!
I am sorry you feel so down. My little sister is 23 and she is in a similar situation. I know how tough it must be but just remember that things always can get better.

hold your head up!!!! you are going to be given the greatest gift God has to offer... someone to love you unconditionally!
screw your stupid BD -- if he's going to be a dead beat at least you know it now and arent suprised when the kid arrives and he takes off.. you have a job! CONGRATS!! do whatever you can to support your baby..
I went through that with my first, I was also 22, no college education, only working part time and forced to move back home, so I completely understand what you;re going through! Keep your head up, honey.
At 4 months pregnant I met my current SO online (plenty of fish is an awesome free dating site, by the way!), and now we're expecting our first together, and plan to get married. Just remember everything happens for a reason.

Hey you should not be embarrassed at all! He is the one who walked out on his family. I have not been in your situation but I was pregnant once with a guy who was a deadbeat and I was so worried Id have to parent alone that I decided to do an abortion and break up with him. That was the right decision for me at that time. I am now pregnant again and together with the most amazing guy ever, I am happy I made that decision even tho it was hard. But you should not worry about being alone, you have your whole life ahead of you and I know plenty of woman who had a baby and than meet the man of their dreams. I think a baby will actually help you find the right guy, You wont date assholes any more because you have another little person that reminds you how important you are and assholes are not drawn to single moms so its a win win and not wasting time on assholes will surely make you ahead of the game of the single baby-less woman. Everything will work out, it Always does. Stay positive and its ok to be sad, just remember you are better off without a person who walks out on his family. Good luck to you!
Everyday is a gift, thats why they call it The Present. TTC nr2 Schedule for lap june 4th left fallopian tube removal.
It sounds like you have the support of your mother, so I would be thankful for that. Before she met my brother, my SIL was raising her son alone, and he turned out to be an excellent young man (he's 6 now).
I'm sure you'll do fine as well.
I too am going thru a similar situation. Hold ur head up!!! God makes ways out of no ways and we may not understand it right now, but there's a reason behind this. Take care.

I truly, freakin' love gaming laptops. Yes, they are massively expensive. Yes, they will be outclassed by PC hardware within a year. And yes, you can build something more powerful for half the price. But gaming laptops are essentially the supercars of PC gaming hardware, wholly unnecessary but unbelievably cool to gawk at. And the latest offering from MSI has my mouth watering. Because the Titan most certainly looks like it can talk the talk and click the clack.
Lately the PC peripheral market has been dominated by Razer and SteelSeries - at least locally. Logitech has receded in the background over the years, especially when it comes to specialized PC gaming hardware. That's slowly changing, and at rAge this year they had two fairly great products to show off.
Whether you're a PC gamer or just a normal human being, you probably spend a ridiculous among of time employing mouse and keyboard throughout the day. However, not all keyboards are the same - there is a ton of variety out there, although the Razer Deathstalker might just be my new favourite.
Logitech, once one of the very best in PC gaming peripherals, kinda just skulked out of the market, leaving people like Steelseries and Razer to take over. Now they're back in a big way with a new range of their "G" branded gaming peripherals. One such peripheral is their top-of-the-line G19s keyboard, which packs a wealth of functionality in to it that you didn't know you even wanted.
Here is some of the most amazing geek stuff I've seen lately. From iron thrones to keyboard sandals, some one please make me a millionaire! I'll be dreaming about these all weekend.
When I go into combat I take the biggest weapon I can. I get the tank with better armour, or I take along someone who can repair it for me. If there are no tanks available (boo!), I go for something two-handed and heavy. So why are you using that flimsy keyboard over there? Are you scared of having something more powerful than yourself? Could Bane use it without breaking its back? No, he couldn't! Meet the juggernaut of keyboards.

Drake loses to No. 15 Creighton 77-69
DES MOINES, Iowa Drake got big nights from its two stars, Rayvonte Rice and Ben Simons, and put a significant scare into No. 15 Creighton.
Doug McDermott and the Bluejays were just too much for the Bulldogs to handle, keeping Drake from moving closer to the Missouri Valley's elite.
McDermott scored 30 points and No. 15 Creighton held off Drake 77-69 on Wednesday night for its sixth straight road win.
Jahenns Manigat added 15 for the Bluejays (19-2, 9-1 MVC), who have the program's longest road winning streak in 37 years.
Creighton let a 15-point lead dwindle to two early in the second half against the Bulldogs. But McDermott helped keep the Bulldogs from getting any closer, scoring 10 straight points late in the half.
"I thought we did some really good things in the second half," Drake coach Mark Phelps said. "Everything you do in a game like that matters. Everything you don't do that you should have done matters, and when you play a really good team they can make you pay. Have to give Creighton credit. They are who they are because they play that way on a consistent basis."
Rice had 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead Drake (12-9, 5-5), getting his seventh 20-point game of the season. Ben Simons added 18 and Kurt Alexander added 16 points off the bench.
Creighton never trailed in the second half in winning its ninth straight overall.
Simons hit a 3 to get Drake within 67-62 with 3:42 left. But McDermott took advantage of a favorable defensive matchup and kept Drake at bay from the free throw line and inside the paint.
McDermott hit all seven of his shots from the line in the second half, and his final two with 52 seconds left ended Drake's hopes for a comeback.
"(Simons) and (Rice) continue to be probably the best combination of wings in our league, and Kurt Alexander's really given us a shot in the arm off the bench at the right time. But again, I think you need to be operating on all cylinders and do a few more right things if you're going to beat a team like Creighton," Phelps said.
Drake fell behind 37-22 in the first half, relying on Rice and Simons for nearly all its scoring. Rice and Simons helped the Bulldogs pull within 46-44 early in the season half. Rice was aggressive in attacking the basket during that run, which McDermott halted with a crucial 3-point play.
The Bluejays' defense stiffened from there and Manigat, given a second chance for a 3 from the same spot in the corner, drilled it to put Creighton up 56-46 with 9:27 left.
Manigat went 5 of 7 from 3-point range and put up his best scoring effort since the second game of the season against Chicago State.
"I felt like we got the shots that we needed to keep pace and they didn't go down," Phelps said. "The margin for error when you're playing Creighton is pretty small."
