People "from the 80s" don't necessarily had to have been born in the 80s. It's the time frame in which you grew up. So a guy born in 1975 was most certainly a 80s kid and he'd be closing in on 40. Tell me, do you really recall that much from before you were 5 or 6? I know I really don't, I recall some memories and have a general vague hazy picture of my years during age 4-6 but not with much clarity.
Kids "from the 80s" were born in 1974-1983. Later then that and I'd say you're more of a 90s kid.
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.
Mass Effect
I was 13 years old in 1985 and was trying to communicate with people from USA via the Bulleting Board System. It was very expensive and very exciting. I was using a 2400 bps modem. For comparison, a DSL 10 MBit line is 500 times faster.
When I was born the film "Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing" was created. It had a vision and now the vision is reality, it's even better than the vision.
I recommend everyone born 1990 and later to watch this to understand how awesome and fast the developement has been. Now imagine beeing there when every major breakthrough became reality.
It's a blessing and wonderful to be part of this history.

Actually, there was some interesting work in this area in the UK, which showed that there were several competing effects on average intelligence. Low-int people tend to have more children, which pushes avg int down, while nutrition is still pushing int up. It's not impossible for avg int to fall from generation to generation.
But int as measured by IQ test is a limited subset of the talents and inclinations that over time make up real world effectiveness. I think things like the mobile phone, the Internet and its effect on the difficulty of acquiring knowledge and skill, and maybe the influence of screen-based activities at an early age definitely have an effect on the peripheral things around IQ which act to multiply intelligence into skill.

Also I've seen the clothes, style and appearance of people from the 80's i wouldn't really consider that to be the "enlightened" generation :S

Blizzards new slogan: Don't expect muchOriginally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
I think what it is, is that people from older generations have more common sense than people today. Today common sense is extinct anymore. Back then there were no i-phones or i-pads to figure things out for them they actually used their brains and figured things out themselves. Nowadays people's faces are glued to their media devices and become so dependent on them that they stop using their brains and they literally can't live without them and I find that so ridiculous. I think people from older generations such as the 80's and 90's are just wiser than the generation today, overall.
Being 21 and living in this time and seeing the things I see, makes me wish I was born earlier like back in the 60's or something so I can live through the GOOD times. I hate this generation.

For your health.
I'm sure this has something to do with the Go-Go's
When I was a kid you never saw any homeless people for example, now you got people begging on the street(eastern europeans, swedish homelessness is still really rare). A lot of good things have happend in my lifetime though but I think the colder climate in sociaty has made people less considerate of others and I think it's important that people realize that so that they don't get left behind on the sidewalk.
It used to be "Look after your own house first... then see what you can do for others".
Now it's more like "Look after your own house first... and then see what you can gain from helping out others".
There is just less room nowdays for idealism and humanism.

The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
ITT people people who think teenagers today are stupid because they can't perform at the same mental level as someone twice or thrice their age.
Also ITT people who think they were somehow different...smarter, and more focused when their parents would probably have a slightly different opinion.
Get a grip man! It's CHEESE!
People have become to dependent on mobile devices/computers/any other similar staff because nowadays if you ever come across a problem you can just look it up on the internet and most likely find a solution, you dont have to think for yourself. why bother thinking about something when someone has already found a solution for your problem.
In pure intelligence i doubt people have become less intelligent. The difference is in problem solving, (yey, inc WOW reference) when you solve a problem you gain exp->more xp=level up->easier content. So basicly the more problems you solve the more theres a bigger chance you'll be able to solve other problems cause you are used to that way of thinking.
So i'd say base intelligence of ppl from '80 and newer generations is the same. The problem solving is the only difference.
Umm, I highly doubt it. Can't just generalise this by saying shit like "all the teens I've met are stupid and have no direction in life", 'cause you don't know enough teens to make a statement that will cover the whole of todays younger generation. Then again, I can't really argue against it 'cause I have no idea, but like I said, I doubt we're actually dumber today.
Comparing a teen with an adult... I can see nothing wrong in that... oh wait...
So comparing you(above average) to someone else who is also above average of this generation would be more appropriate. I'm only 20 so I would consider myself part of the "current" generation. I scored a 29 on my ACT, the way I dress is irrelevant really, I'm male and I don't dress anything like a female(also irrelevant), I usually have longer hair that if combed out straight can cover my eyes(yet again irrelevant), I don't act "retarded" in public but I will admit my personality changes around my friends(mostly irrelevant, I'll give it some merit though), there are quite a lot of girls that got pregnant in my high school (I think 5 or 6 throughout all 4 years), I know of a handful of people that didn't graduate on time but came back next semester and finished school, and as far as looking at phones another irrelevant thing. I don't see people "crashing" into each other all the time, probably only once or twice and I myself have never done it.
As far as instant gratification and the internet and other electronics are concerned how are they at all related to intelligence? My father failed to understand why everyday I wasn't outside doing something with my friends. There are different things to occupy peoples time now than there were 30 years ago. Just because it is different doesn't mean what you did is better than what I do.
Back to clothes again, what does being well dressed have to do with being intelligent? The smartest friend I have wears video game t-shirts and jeans regularly. (If you need his credentials he got a 35 on the ACT twice, and two perfects and a mid 500 on the SAT.) I hardly see anyone on my college campus walking around in dress shirts, vests, suits, ties and other nice clothes other than teachers.
I think one of the other posters hit it on the head. You yourself are just boring to people of this generation. Also as I pointed out you aren't the average person from your generation.
80's generation was born in the 70s, 90s generation born in the 80s, 2000s in the 90s and so forth.
Until you are about 10 it doesnt really count towards shaping you culturally, so give it a lag.
At op: they are adults and have life experience.... biggest difference there.
Also the 80s were in some parts an era of "extremes" which was quite good i guess to shape open minds.
English is tough.
Being "from" the 80s would mean you were born "in" the 80s. Not in the 70s.
Born in 82 and I'm a genius. For that matter, maybe some folks should look up the actual Generation X time period, which extends up to '83.
---------- Post added 2013-01-12 at 06:32 PM ----------
1982 here, just appears people born 1995+ were educated by different standards, have had access to the internet since they could crawl and seem to have lost their wonder about things, as it's offered on a plate.
A lot is down to parenting and schooling, and schooling has changed so much (here in the UK) it appears less to educate and inspire them and more to make sure they tick the boxes of whatever cirriculum is in favour.
Every generation is getting dumber. Aside from the hippies, people in the 70's are smarter than people in the 80's.

'Buffy,' 'Breaking Bad' Writers Join 'Torchwood'
According to the Chicago Tribune, Davies has added John Shiban ('Breaking Bad,' 'Supernatural,' 'The X-Files') and Jane Espenson ('Battlestar Galactica,' 'Buffy,' 'Game of Thrones'), and brought former 'Torchwood' writer John Fay over from the U.K. They will all join him in writing the 10-part season 4.
'Torchwood' Finds a Home on Starz
Michael Ausiello is reporting that cable network Starz has acquired the rights to the new season of British sci-fi series 'Torchwood,' which enjoys a cult following stateside along with sister series 'Doctor Who'. The 10-episode run will air summer 2011 on Starz (in the U.S.) and BBC One (in the U.K.).
The US Should Co-Produce TV Shows with the UK
A few years back, a bold co-production initiative was launched with Canada. So far, it's produced underwhelming ratings performers like 'Mental' and 'Defying Gravity.' Meanwhile, thanks to BBC America, US fans are falling in love with new UK shows, only to find ourselves frustrated when the powers-that-Beeb pull the plug. It's a lot like foreign fans of US material must feel when we cancel shows on them: powerless.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Most recently, BBC America finished running the first and second series of the BBC post-apocalyptic drama 'Survivors,' back-to-back. Before it finished, the BBC announced that they weren't going to commission any more episodes, due to slipping ratings in the UK. 'Survivors' wasn't failing miserably, but BBC programming doesn't get advertising revenue like shows in the US, so expectations are different.
I don't know if US ratings were considered for the show, but I know it was one of the more popular series on BBC America and that it has a pretty loyal and faithful following on both sides of the pond. Could US support have saved it?
U.S. 'Torchwood' Not a Threat -- For Now
Fox has given up on developing a U.S. version of the UK cult hit series about a criminal investigation group that battles hostile extraterrestrial threats, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter.
"BBC Worldwide Productions and the Fox Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized 'Torchwood' format," the BBC Worldwide said in a statement.
Captain Jack coming to Wisteria Lane
Barrowman is expected to leave England in March to come to Los Angeles to begin filming. He'll appear on screen in April, and he's there for a mini-arc, at least five episodes. And he will be playing a malevolent man, i.e. a villain.
Ausiello reports that he's going to be involved with Angie's story. How will he impact on the Bolens, who are already brimming with angst and drama? Doesn't sound like it will be a positive impact.
Why Does America Have to Ruin Every British TV Show?
'Torchwood,' for those not familiar with the original BBC cult favorite, follows the adventures of a group of secret government agents who handle and cover up alien encounters here on Earth, 'Men In Black' style. It's also very British in its origins (the show is a spin-off from the beloved 'Doctor Who' franchise), environment (the cast rarely ventures outside of their Welsh headquarters) and sensibilities (every character is bi-sexual, for starters).
Fox to develop U.S. version of Torchwood
We can classify this under "train wrecks waiting to happen." Fox has picked up the rights to produce an American version of the BBC sci-fi spin-off of Doctor Who, Torchwood.
Series creator Russell T. Davies is writing the pilot (and several other former executives of the original are behind the show), so there will likely be many similarities and possibly even nods to Doctor Who continuity. Critics who haven't seen the original will likely pigeonhole the show as The X-Files with more ostentatious sci-fi elements.
The question is, how will the show be handled? Will it be a complete reboot? Will it be an American branch of the institution? Most importantly, will John Barrowman star as Captain Jack Harkness (hey, he's already got the American accent)?
Fox Plans to Import Sexy Sci-Fi Series 'Torchwood'
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox is developing an imported version of the popular British sci-fi series (seen in the U.S. on BBC America) about a super-secret agency charged with protecting Earth against alien threats. It's like '24,' with tentacles and sex. Lots of sex, and especially lots of same-sex sex.
Best and Worst TV of 2009: Jason's List
Instead, I'm going to focus on the things that really stood out this year. Sorry, Mad Men fans, but even though this was a great third season and an amazing finale, I expect it at this point. It's the only way I could come up with to keep my list manageable.
Also, as a point of protest I did not include Jon, Kate or the balloon boy hoax. These events got more attention than they deserved already this year, and I feel bad I even mentioned them.
Barrowman signed for Torchwood season four
Given that the majority of the cast was killed off during seasons two and three, this would represent a good opportunity for Russell T. Davies and whichever other creators are involved to re-invent the series. Whether the new series will involve the newest Doctor Matt Smith is anybody's guess, however given Davies' departure from the source program (which, granted, was amicable) and his likely desire to similarly remove Torchwood from Doctor Who continuity as much as possible, I doubt it.
So here we have Captain Jack returning to Earth and assembling a new team. Will Gwen be involved as well, child in tow? Are you looking forward to a new season of Torchwood?
Doctor Who star to play John Lennon
There is a lot of crossover between Doctor Who fans and Beatles fans, so there is sure to be some interest in the series. The roles I know Eccleston best for are those of the Doctor and Destro from G.I.Joe: The Rise of Cobra, so the question is if he can pull off a Liverpudlian accent. Since in the aforementioned roles he's done a Northern British accent (I believe his natural one) and a Scottish accent, he's likely capable of it.
So what do you think? Is Eccleston a good choice for the role of John Lennon?
Torchwood creator talks season four
Davies told TV Guide that Torchwood is likely to be renewed for a fourth season. The BBC has yet to officially green-light a fourth year, but Davies said he's already working on ideas for the further adventures of Captain Jack Harkness and crew.
"The recession has hit British television, but fingers crossed, it will be a go. We expect things to start to move in January. We've got great ideas for the show. I think there's a further lease on life for many years to come, but certainly for a [fourth season]," Davies said.
Davies has a map for Torchwood
Well, there is going to be a season four, and Torchwood Magazine got the scoop (Dammit! How'd they manage that?). According to the magazine, Torchwood creator and writer Russell T. Davies already has several storylines worked out, and knows what happens to the characters that did survive seasons two and three. He's not sure if it will be another mini-series or a 13-episode season, but he does know what he'd include.
Do you want a Torchwood Season Four? A few fans speak...
But the ending of Children of Earth complicated things. At the end of season two, two major characters died, then COE killed off another. The immortal, normally untouchable Captain Jack Harkness had been compromised to the point where he had to leave the planet, and Gwen was pregnant and happily married. So what would a fourth season even look like?
I would hate to see Torchwood: Baby Boomer, with Gwen balancing the baby with fighting aliens, and all the clichés that come with the balancing-a-job-and-motherhood plots from movies and television past. But then, series creator and writer Russell T. Davies has done a fantastic job of avoiding the predictable, so I'd be willing to take that leap of faith to see what he comes up with. And Davies is already on record as saying that Captain Jack is "fundamental to Torchwood."
Angry Torchwood fans threaten writers with bodily harm
Before we get too far into this, I'm putting a spoiler warning on this post, even though the episode in question has already aired in the U.S. For anyone still saving it on their DVR, beware. It's a biggie.

The Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness in Northern California is a compact little wilderness; apparently this has prompted trail planners to cram as much climbing as they possibly can into relatively short trails :-)Just returned from a solo 3-day/2-night trip into the Yolla Bollys, starting from the northern trailhead at Stuart Gap, traversing south to Solomon Peak and back. 45 mi/12,000' of climbing, gorgeous views from ridgeline trails, perfect weather and abundant water in a region usually considered dry. I didn't see anybody else - not a soul - in the wilderness, although bear scat occurred roughly every quarter mile. No bear sightings, though, but plenty of deer.Trails are easy to follow (OK, I had a GPS with the trails uploaded to it, but still ...) despite many fallen logs. Trail tread adheres very closely to that shown on my National Geographic Topo! Map. It also adheres to the fall line on a slope, i.e, these trails were originally built for horses and so take the shortest - and steepest - route. I've backpacked Coe and Ventana, and the Yolla Bollys make both look easy. But the views, solitude and varying ecology make it all worthwhile.This region is not on commercial flight paths, apparently, because I neither heard jets nor saw contrails. The only man-made sound, apart from my own labored breathing as I strugged up the steep trails, was a USFS helicopter surveying lightning-induced fires in the wilderness. My inspection revealed these to be mostly smoke ... no flames visible from a ridgeline overlooking the fires.See pix at http://vineetbuch.slide.com/c/Yolla+Bolly+Middle+Eel+Wilderness . Mouse-over pix for captions, double-click for larger shots.

That made Coe look easy? Mannnn. Ventana can add some nice elevation gains. Still sounds like a good trip though
Consider this: on Saturday, I stayed between 6000' and 7200', but in 14 miles climbed 4300'. In other words, trails in the Yolla Bollys consist exclusively of steep pitches ... at no time did my altimeter log show that I was walking on a flat trail. You can't develop a rhythm because the trail undulates so much, and the downhills are actually worse than the climbs because they're too steep to go down fast ...
Pretty much how Coe is. Still sounds like a fun weekend.

I had bought similar mats once at the local pet store and didn't get much response from our chins. I bought this one on a whim when I was buying some other things from ChinWorld and boy was Cuzco enthusiastic about it! He loved sitting on it, laying on it, and chewing on it. Both our chins pretty much ate the whole thing after about two weeks. Now, I plan to order it every time I need something else!
This is Great!

We have three chins and we are always trying to find new and interesting things to keep them happy and occupied! They really love this mat!
Fun for Chinchillas

Chico loved this mat- he chewed it up within a week! So buy more than one cause they'll disappear fast!

My two boys' love this mat so much they can't stop eating it! They are so happy with this product and so am I! The boys' are munching away right now!

Foxy loves this mat. She loves it so much that she ate it all!
Great Clean Up
10/05/2005 - by Bridget Corriveau from Avon, OH US
This is a great product. My chinchilla (Cheeky) loves this mat. It makes for great clean up. Cheeky loves to sleep on the mat. I highly recommend this product.
These Seagrass Mats measure 12 x 12 inches (30.5 x 30.5
cm) and are woven using natural seagrass. They are edible,
so you don't have to worry if your chinchilla decides to
snack on them as well.

Thanks. She's not finished yet. Mechanically she'd better be (though I might do some more with the brakes), but I haven't done the frame clean up and touch up yet - it's going to be fun finding touchup paint to match that green, then there's the rust in the spray on chrome paint along the rear fork I'll do that once she's got some miles on her. While I'm at it, I'll tear her down and do all the bearings as well.
Actually, that's not such a bad idea - stops me spending money on bikes for me
Looks schmick there Richard
I'll have to find out some more data on where you got the wheels from.
As nice as the Bontrager Race rims for $350 sounds, it will be interesting to see what I can get custom made for the same price.
We'll have to catch up soon so that you can get the computer and I can see you on the beast !!

Ye Olde Green Weapon and I did our triangle down the Linear Park, across to Glenelg and back up the old Railway Reserve today. First decent ride with the Europa in her new guise.
It all went very well
The new wheels rolled well and felt quite lively - the whole bike has a nice, lively feel to her now. She's a lot more nimble too. I haven't weighed the new wheels (or the old ones either) but they aren't lightweights (not at the price I paid ), but they are obviously lighter. She's gone from being a tourer to a sports bike Direction changes are quick and positive. She sticks to the road well. The tyres, despite being only 28mm were quite comfy. No knee or hand problems so the fit is right.
Average speed went up 2.5 km/hr and I reckon that is all wheels - I wasn't working at all hard today (ave hr of only 132 ) and top speed was limited by me running out of revs. Whereas last week, the gearing felt comfortable, this week, I felt undergeared (I know it's a smaller wheel but it doesn't make that much difference to the overall gear ratios - yes, I worked them out). The ave speed would have jumped a lot more if I'd ridden the adjacent roads rather than the bike tracks as there would have have been less slowing and starting. Maybe I'll have to join MichaelB on one of his rides and have a shot at the 30km/hr average
All in all, the new wheels have made a large, positive difference to the way the bike rides. Whew, so it wasn't just about fashion

Cambridge, Mass. November 1, 2013 It doesn't take a Watson to realize that even the world's best supercomputers are staggeringly inefficient and energy-intensive machines.
Our brains have upwards of 86 billion neurons, connected by synapses that not only complete myriad logic circuits; they continuously adapt to stimuli, strengthening some connections while weakening others. We call that process learning, and it enables the kind of rapid, highly efficient computational processes that put Siri and Blue Gene to shame.
Materials scientists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have now created a new type of transistor that mimics the behavior of a synapse. The novel device simultaneously modulates the flow of information in a circuit and physically adapts to changing signals.
Exploiting unusual properties in modern materials, the synaptic transistor could mark the beginning of a new kind of artificial intelligence: one embedded not in smart algorithms but in the very architecture of a computer. The findings appear in Nature Communications.
"There's extraordinary interest in building energy-efficient electronics these days," says principal investigator Shriram Ramanathan, associate professor of materials science at Harvard SEAS. "Historically, people have been focused on speed, but with speed comes the penalty of power dissipation. With electronics becoming more and more powerful and ubiquitous, you could have a huge impact by cutting down the amount of energy they consume."
The human mind, for all its phenomenal computing power, runs on roughly 20 Watts of energy (less than a household light bulb), so it offers a natural model for engineers.
"The transistor we've demonstrated is really an analog to the synapse in our brains," says co-lead author Jian Shi, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS. "Each time a neuron initiates an action and another neuron reacts, the synapse between them

The Most Popular Way People Get to My Blog! Yay!
The single most popular way people have arrived at my blog who have no idea who I am (so this eliminates all social media) is by typing in the words "I Want to Die" into a search engine.
4,722 people did that this last month.
Specifically that phrase: "I Want to Die". In Google. A smaller percentage typed: "how can I die?" Then they got to this post.
And it's sort of obvious why.
They've lost money. We associate money with not only net worth but self worth. When we have less money we tend to get sick, stressed, depressed, and we lose touch with family and friends. It's harder to be a good parent. It's harder to be a good husband. We feel like a zero. Like a less than zero. Money doesn't solve all of our problems but it solves our money problems. Whenever I've lost money, or been down to zero, it's been very hard for me to function.
People, as a society, stopped making money in 2007. Think about it – they always made money beforehand.
In the 1950s for the first time ever we had dual income homes. That gave us extra spending money. Then a booming stock market in the 60s. Then inflation in the 70s boosted our incomes artificially. Then we had the 80s junk bond boom. Then we had the 90s Internet boom. Then the 00s housing boom. Then…
The government said, "don't worry about it, we'll step in." So they printed up $1.6 trillion. Guess what? The banks now have an extra $1.6 trillion in the bank.
Someone forgot to give us the money!
55 years of spending fueled by double-income jobs, inflation, debt, stocks, and more debt. And now…nothing.
So what do people do? They type "I want to die" into Google and hit my blog. It was the most popular search term after "altucher".
The second most popular search term for people hitting my blog. "live sex". Because, naturally, people don't want to watch "dead sex".
Suicide is a form of pornography. It's frowned on upon society. It's taboo to talk about it. In fact, if you talk about it too much everyone will think you need to consult a therapist. Most people won't admit they've ever experienced suicidal thoughts. And with good reason, pornography and suicide are often associated with crazy weirdos.
There's no real advice for people who want to die. You can't say, "cheer up, bud, things get better." Sometimes they don't. You can check out this post to do a double-check and make sure that it's not you that want to die but some feeling or situation inside of you.
I can't give advice on this other than the above post. But just ask yours, what would happen if you changed everything?:
B) Change your wife/relationship (but always take care of your kids)
C) Change your friends (or double the time you spend with friends). Or make a new friend each day. Or contact an old friend.
D) Never drink, smoke, do drugs
E) Stop junk food
F) Sell your house, move, downsize (anyone who is going to talk behind your back about you downsizing should die. Not you).
G) Take up two hobbies you spend at least 2 hours a week each on. For me, I started taking chess lessons. And I'm still determined to do standup at some point. Or I want to take singing lessons. I started my "idea muscle" by thinking up jokes for a standup routine and then calling a friend in California who was a sitcom write and running them by him. One in ten were "decent" !
H) Stop talking to anyone who brings you down, even if it's your family. Just stop. Don't show up for family gatherings. Don't show up for friend gatherings if they bring you down. Doesn't have to be forever.Just a break. If they get upset then its their problem. But completely stop. Block them on facebook if you have to. (See my post, How Deal with Crappy People. I also have an upcoming post: How to Deal With a Crappy Boss]
I) Read funny books. Don't read depressing stuff, like the news.
J) Once a day read a spiritual text. Like the Bible. Or the Tao Te Ching. Or a book by the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter.
K) Say to yourself, "I'm going to save a life every day." Sometimes that means you just smile at someone who didn't expect it. Or you say, "you look good," to a girl lost in their dreams walking on the sidewalk next to you
L) Shower ever day. Guess what: in the shower there's no phone, there's no email, twitter, facebook, nobody wants you, and a side benefit: you get clean and you can daydream for awhile.
M) Take the stairs instead of an elevator. Easy exercise.
N) Write a diary. Don't write a to-do list. That's stressful. Why be so ambitious. You want to kill yourself. That sucks. Write about everything you actually did today. Every little detail. You did a lot more than you think. Write it as a facebook note even. Let your friends know what you did today. They will be impressed and inspired.
O) If you think, "everything would be better off if I were dead" then think, "that's really cool. Now I can do anything I want but I can postpone this thought for awhile, maybe even a few months." Because what does it matter now? The planet might not even be around in a few months. Who knows what could happen with all these solar flares. You know the ones I'm talking about.
P) Do the " 'NO' TRICK". If you find yourself thinking of that special someone who is causing you some grief then whisper in your mind, "no". Then, everytime you think again of that person, whisper "no" a little louder. You may end up shouting "NO!" and everyone will think you're crazy but that's ok – you are crazy. You just typed "I want to die" into a search engine. That's pretty crazy. This comes from the 70s pop psychology classic,"Don't Say Yes When You Want to Say No":
Q) Sleep 8-9 hours a day. Even if you have to take medication to do it. For 15 years I woke up at 2am, anxious every day because of being an entrepreneur (that's what entrepreneurs do). I had to take medication to sleep 7-8 straight hours.
R) Tell someone every day that you love them (as long as they love you back, else DON'Ttell them).Doesn't have to be romantic love. Can be friendly love.
S) Don't have sex with someone you don't love.
Anyway, this isn't advice for the 4,722 people this past month who typed "I want to die" into Google and ended up on my blog. Maybe some of them need real help from a therapist or doctor.
But this is what I did when I wanted to die. Every one of these things. And here I am. I am still alive.
Buy my book, "I Was Blind But Now I See" – How to stop the brainwashing and learn to be happy.

What a brilliant light you are, James. If the universe and internet consciousness wants you to be the last chance or effort of a suicidal thinking human being, I say- let 'em have you. Your experience and effortless story telling ability would surely get some of those humans off the ledge. So what if your friend think only 1 in 10 of your jokes are decent, I bet you would save at least 5 in 10 of those searching souls out there. Perhaps you should start a suicide hotline.
humorously dark with giant sprinkles of light! i completely related (and giggled a few times!). a topic that i have been writing about and pondering about for a very long time. hardly anyone talks about suicide, yet so many people are thinking about it. thank you for articulating, so matter-of-factly about something that connects us all more deeply than we may think.
love and light and laughter!
I love your writing James (in a friendly non-romantic way)! As a tree-hugger and concerned-about-water citizen, however, I'd like to discourage others from daily showers. Think about the 1 in 8 people without access to clean drinking water. Maybe lock yourself in a closet or hop in a lake. Take a walk in a park. I don't know. Just something else to escape the 'noise' in life for 10 minutes.
Love this call to action. Life sometimes gets overwhelming and it's important to remember that we need to take action, even if it's just a step forward.

On July 24, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released three Revenue Procedures (2014-46, 2014-37, and 2014-41), which provide guidance to individuals on their obligation to maintain minimum essential coverage (MEC) under the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) so-called "individual mandate."
Most notably for employers is that, in Revenue Procedure 2014-37, the IRS increased the threshold for determining whether an employer has offered affordable coverage to an employee. For these purposes, the IRS increased the percentage of an employee's household income that can be charged for group health insurance and still be considered affordable for purposes of the ACA's "pay-or-play" requirements. The IRS guidance increases the percentage from 9.5% to 9.56%. In other words, an employer assessing the affordability for employee-only coverage for its least expensive plan in 2015 can require an employee to pay up to 9.56% of his or her household income and the insurance will still be considered affordable.
It has been widely reported that the IRS has increased the affordability percentage in all cases from 9.5% to 9.56%. This is not necessarily true.
By way of background, the IRS had previously acknowledged that when it comes to having employers measure "affordability" of health coverage, tracking an employee's household income would be difficult, if not impossible. Responding to this concern, the IRS released regulations that permitted employers to use one of three safe harbors to determine affordability. The three safe harbors permit an employer to measure affordability based on whether the applicable premium exceeds 9.5% of W-2 income, an employee's Rate of Pay or a measure of the Federal Poverty Level. That is, an employer using one of the safe harbors would not need to ask about an employee's household income to determine whether the insurance is affordable for purposes of the ACA; it would simply take the applicable safe harbor, multiply by 9.5% and measure the result against the premium for self-only coverage.
Some vendors, consultants and others have announced that employers can now use the increased 9.56% to determine whether coverage is affordable for purposes of the safe harbor. Based on the literal regulatory rules, this is not correct.
The reason this is not true is that the IRS regulations on affordability have "hard-wired" the 9.5% standard into those regulations; the regulations do not cross-reference to the statutory reference for affordability. As the IRS continues to index the affordability measure for household income over time, as is required by the ACA, a concomitant change to the percentage established in the regulations will be required or else these two percentages will very quickly become dramatically out-of-sync.
Some type of announcement from the IRS increasing the regulatory 9.5% threshold to the statutory 9.56% threshold for the applicable safe harbors would be welcome. In the meantime, employers planning on complying with the regulatory safe harbor rules should cap premiums based on the literal terms of those regulations.

Microsoft and Yahoo! want e-mail 'postage.' The pros, the cons, andthe caveats.
Sending email is free, right? Wrong! At least, it won't be if Microsoft and Yahoo have a say in how email infrastructure is configured in the future. Bill Gates said recently in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the spam problem will be solved within two years. The most important element of the solution, according to Gates, is to add "postage" to email.
The New York Times, reporting the story last Monday, said Yahoo is evaluating a solution by start-up company Goodmail that would allow the portal to require postage on email addressed to recipients with a Yahoo address. Speaking to the Times, Brad Garlinghouse, Yahoo VP for communications products, said the company believes stamps might work because they cause more "friction in sending email." It will be too expensive, goes the argument, for spammers to pay the toll. Hence, the economic incentive to send spam disappears, as do those annoying emails.
Call it a stamp, toll, tax, or sender liability, the idea of charging for email has been around for a long time. There are good arguments for and against. Let's take a quick look at a few of them.
Charging for E-Mail Is Antithetical to How the Internet Works
Because email hasn't been free, we don't want to pay for it now. That's a silly argument. Sure, email has historically been free to all end users. Sure, we'd rather have it be free in the future. The reality is it costs a lot of money to host and operate the networks and infrastructure that enable email. Most people pay some kind of access fee to an ISP to get their email.
Massachusetts-based Vanquish proposes this scheme: Senders post a bond, and recipients charge them for their messages to get through. If the message is from your mother or a known friend, you let it in without charge.
It's far too early to say if email stamps will end up costing consumers because ISPs will charge them to send email, or whether it will make ISPs rich because hungry marketers will pay big bucks to get their messages through. It may not be how the Internet worked in the past, but get ready for it to be part of the future ecosystem.
It's Too Complex to Implement and Requires the Entire Internet Be Upgraded
Sure, it's complex. Getting a robot to look for water on Mars is complex, too. That doesn't mean it can't be done.
Goodmail proposes an elegant solution that inserts a stamp in email, then lets the receiving gateway determine whether to charge the sender. If the gateway isn't stamp-aware, then it simply lets mail through and the sender isn't charged. The solution is backwards compatible with the existing infrastructure and only requires an upgrade if the receiver wants to pocket the stamp.
Spammers Can't Make Money If They Stamp Every E-Mail
Depends how you define "spam." I get a lot of junk postal mail. That demonstrates people are clearly willing to pay a lot more than $0.01 to reach me. Untargeted, indiscriminate broadcast email will mostly disappear. But don't think charging one penny, or even 10, to send email will rid your inbox of unsolicited commercial email.
It's Just Another Way for Big ISPs to Make Money
Sure it is. So is pretty much everything else a business does. Nothing wrong with making money, last time I checked. It may just give email gateways greater flexibility in the kinds of services they can offer their customers.
You want a "free" Yahoo email account. Then you'll have to accept Yahoo drops a few unsolicited stamped messages in your inbox every day. Don't want those? Pay Yahoo $1.99 per month for a spam-free inbox.
By the way, since it will cost marketers real money to reach that inbox, they may rediscover the value of good old-fashioned segmentation and targeting. Those email messages may look more relevant all of a sudden.
Charging for E-Mail Will Dampen the Free Flow of Online Information
Perhaps the subtlest argument, but the one I worry about the most. If every email requires postage, there's an undue burden on a number of legitimate, noncommercial high-volume uses of email. Not the email I send from my personal account, mind. But say I send five per day, or 150 each month. If my ISP decided to charge $0.01 per email, that's $1.50 per month, or $18 per year. I'd certainly rather not pay, but if it really helps get rid of spam, I'm willing to make pitch in a few extra bucks.
A solution can easily be implemented to allow low-volume personal mail to be delivered with little or no postage. The real burden falls on a university hosting a forwarding service for alumni or a guy running a list serv for a music discussion board, with 500,000 messages going out weekly. At one penny per email, the guy hosting the list would have to pay $5,000 per week. An absolute showstopper!
E-mail stamps are a good idea, but they must be part of a broader effort -- introducing secure tokens in email. A "token" is a little piece of information, hidden in the email header, that can have attributes, such as monetary value (making it a stamp), identity, and representations about message content, among other things.
For instance, it may carry lots of postage, indicating it's an unsolicited commercial message. Or it may carry less postage, indicating it's an opt-in newsletter, a bank statement, or a purchase receipt. It may not carry any postage at all, indicating it's personal mail from a known sender. It will be up to recipients to determine what types of tokens they accept and what policies they put in place to handle different types of tokens.
If we're going to upgrade the email infrastructure to support email stamps or, as others propose, to facilitate secure authentication of senders to weed out spammers, let's do it right. We need a solution for embedding secure tokens with lots of different attributes and characteristics. Yahoo and Microsoft should support an open standard for tokenizing email. That's how they'll put a lasting, valuable stamp on email, defining and leading the way toward the next generation of email infrastructure.

"The administration's actions aren't just
wrong, they are arrogant, undemocratic and an insult to the rule of law." That's what Chairman Lamar Smith declared
in his opening statement to the hearing where the sole witness was Attorney
General Eric Holder. House Judiciary
Committee members had serious questions for Attorney General Eric Holder on
Thursday on the Department of Justice's mishandling of election matters. Many Congressmen criticized the Justice
Department's denial of preclearance of voter ID laws in Texas and South
Carolina as well as the administration's recent actions to block voter roll
maintenance efforts in Florida.
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner asked
the serious questions about the administration's position on Florida's updating
of their voter rolls. Sensenbrenner pointed out the Florida has been diligent
in offering due process protections to ensure that eligible voters are not
removed from the rolls; the due process protections included notice, a 30 day
waiting period, appearance in newspaper of general circulation, a hearing where
a registrar makes a determination upon the preponderance of evidence, and the
right of appeal to the state circuit court.
Sensenbrenner asked, "What rights do non-citizens, in particular illegal
immigrants, have to the protection of the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter
Registration Act?" Holder could only
answer, "They have no rights." Sensenbrenner explained the need to update voter
rolls: "Any ineligible voter or fraudulent voter who has a ballot placed in the
ballot box with hundreds of eligible voters ends up diluting the votes of the
legitimate voters. And the federal law
is very clear on that."
Chairman Smith said,
"Instead of acting to prevent voter fraud, the Department of Justice has
challenged common-sense voter ID laws that require voters to identify themselves
before they are allowed to vote." Representative Dan Lungren followed up with
further questions about the many places that require ID. He said, "If I were lucky enough to be
invited to meet you and see you at your office at the Justice Department,
wouldn't I need to show a government-issued photo ID to get in?" He
continued, "If I were to go to the federal courthouse here in D.C. either as a
party or an attorney, wouldn't I have to show a government-issued photo ID?"
Then he added, "If I were to come here from California to exercise my
constitutional right of travel and as an ordinary citizen petition the
government for a redress my grievances, I would have to show my
government-issued photo ID?" Then Lungren
pointed out that the Justice Department was not investigating the discriminatory
effect of those laws.
Rep. Trent Franks asked about the video
from James O'Keefe of a D.C. polling place. Franks asked, "What was your reaction when you
saw the video of the young man claim your ballot and your reaction to requiring
a photo ID when you saw that video?" Holder's response was, "It's an attempt to
show something, I suppose." What the
attorney general was reluctant to admit is that is showed how easy it was for
anyone to impersonate a voter, and that even includes a white man impersonating
a black attorney general.

Final Stats | Photo Gallery (Reichert) | Photo Gallery (Byers)
By Craig Buchanan
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - With a 51-point second half effort, the Colorado State Rams (15-13, 6-9 MW) pulled away with an 82-67 win over Wyoming (17-10, 8-6 MW) at Moby Arena on Saturday afternoon, giving the Rams four consecutive wins over their Border War rival.
"These guys deserved it, and it was neat to see them in the locker room," Head Coach Larry Eustachy said of the big win. "I know how hard they've worked, and it was neat to finally see them get the reward of winning."
Though junior guard Daniel Bejarano struggled with his shot at times during the game, connecting on just six of his 17 attempts, Bejarano made his impact at all ends of the court. With 20 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, the junior guard was just one assist shy of recording the first triple-double in program history.
Five other CSU players also scored in double figures. Junior guard Jon Octeus scored a game-high 23 points on 60 percent shooting, while sophomore guard Joe De Ciman (12), junior forward J.J. Avila (11) and freshman guard Carlton Hurst (10) also paved the way for the high-scoring Rams.
The 82 points that CSU scored are the most points that Wyoming has allowed to any opponent all season. Coming into the game today, the Cowboys ranked No. 12 in the nation allowing just 59.8 points per game and holding their opponents to 39.8 percent shooting.
Colorado State racked up the 82 points on 50.8 percent shooting and connected on seven of their 15 attempts from behind the three-point line.
The game featured three ties and eight lead changes, with all of them coming in the first half. As both teams battled for supremacy, neither squad took control of the game in the first half. The Cowboys held the biggest lead of the first period at 16-9 with 14:35 left in the half, but the Rams chipped away at that seven-point lead.
CSU tied the game at 20-20, and both teams played within one possession of each other as the two teams went into the halftime locker room all squared away at 31-31.
Due to Colorado State's relentless attitude going for rebounds, the Rams attempted 11 more shots in the first half than their rival to the north. CSU out-rebounded Wyoming 37-21 in the game, and in the second half that discrepancy in rebounds and shot attempts began to take its toll on the Cowboys.
"I told (the team), `this is your chance to turn the corner,'" Eustachy said. "I just kept reinforcing that we are the tougher team, but this is the time to grow. We've made a lot of progress and I think we'll just keep getting better."
In front of the 6,590 fans in attendance, the Rams left no doubt in the second half as to who was the better team on this day. Colorado State jumped on the Cowboys right away coming out of intermission, and out-scored Wyoming 28-10 in the first 10 minutes of the half to open up a commanding 59-41 lead.
During the big run, De Ciman hit back-to-back three-pointers to push the Rams ahead by double digits. De Ciman finished the day with four made three-pointers, setting a career high.
Colorado State maintained its double-digit advantage for the remainder of the game as it closed out one of its cleanest and most impressive performances of the year. The Rams committed just five turnovers and doubled up the Cowboys in the paint, 36-18.
CSU travels next to Las Vegas for a Wednesday-night matchup against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, which entered today's games in a tie for third place in the conference standings. Tipoff is slated for 9 p.m. MT and will be televised on CBS Sports Network.

The New Jersey Teaching and Certification Resource
Anyone looking to teach in New Jersey will have to fulfill the requirements stipulated by the state's Department of Education. The various pathways to teacher certification depend on experience and education, but are very similar to most US states. The traditional pathway to obtaining a New Jersey teacher certification is detailed on this page.
How to Become a Teacher in New Jersey
Like all US States, to be eligible for a New Jersey teacher certification, applicants must hold a bachelor's degree, complete a New Jersey teachers certification program and pass the required examinations.
There are several types of New Jersey teacher certification available for those that fulfill the state requirement. Becoming a certified teacher in New Jersey means that there are plenty of choices for new teachers. A Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS) may be issued to someone who has completed an approved teacher education program and has met all requirements for certification. A Certificate of Eligibility may be issued to someone who has not yet completed a teacher education program, but who has met all other requirements for certification. A Provisional certificate may be requested by school system administrators for a prospective teacher that they have hired. This allows the teacher to accept the job, under provisions of mentoring, supervision, and evaluation. Finally, a Standard Certificate may be issued to someone who has met all certification requirements.
Spotlight School
For those teachers who have out-of-state certifications, reciprocity in New Jersey is possible providing that applicants meet the remaining requirements. For more information on reciprocity and New Jersey teacher certification renewal policies, contact the state's Department of Education.
Finding Approved Teacher Education Programs in New Jersey
Perhaps the most important step on the road to New Jersey teacher certification is attending a teacher preparatory program at an accredited school. There are six regional accreditation agencies that are overseen by the US Department of Education. New Jersey schools are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). If teaching applicants attend schools that are not accredited by the MSA, the NJ Department of Education will not issue a teacher certificate. Therefore, it is incredibly important to confirm your chosen school is officially accredited. For those applicants considering an online teaching certification program, online schools should also be accredited by the corresponding regional accreditation body, even when headquartered out of state.
Additionally, the majority of New Jersey schools will most likely apply for an accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparedness (CAEP). This newly-formed organization is a result of the recent merger between NCATE and TEAC. Previously, these two accreditation organizations were highly respected for their high standards of evaluations and were recognized by the US Department of Education. Today, CAEP continues its highly- esteemed accreditation policies set by both NCATE and TEAC. Although a CAEP accreditation may not be mandatory for state approval, it is a strong symbol of quality in terms of teacher preparatory curriculum and process.
See our list of CAEP accredited schools in New Jersey.

- I want to be a teacher and have a degree, but not in education: Learn about New Jersey's Alternative Certification Process and Programs
- I have a teaching degree and am interested in more education: Learn about Master's Degree Education Programs or Doctorate Education Programs and Information.
New Jersey Teacher Education Requirements
For anyone wanting to obtain a teaching certification in New Jersey, requirements are similar to those of other states. For example, a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university is the minimum educational requirement. In addition, the state of New Jersey requires that potential teachers have a GPA of 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale). There is some flexibility with this requirement through a high Praxis test score.
Candidates for New Jersey teaching licensing must demonstrate significant liberal arts credits on their college transcript. This shows that the prospective teacher has a strong general knowledge background as well as reasoning, problem solving, and evaluation skills.
On an annual basis for the 2012-2022 period, the Occupational Supply & Demand System projects 1,300 new job openings for elementary school teachers, 730 average new job openings for middle school teachers, and 1,020 average new job openings for secondary school teachers in New Jersey. There are about 101,430 elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers in the state according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2013). Excluding special education, elementary school teachers earn an average annual salary of $66,600, middle school teachers earn an average annual salary of $67,220, and secondary school teachers earn an average annual salary of $70,870 (BLS 2013). For more information on policy and education employment trends in New Jersey please visit the New Jersey Education Association.
New Jersey Teacher Testing Requirements
Candidates for becoming a teacher in New Jersey must pass the Praxis II Subject Assessment/Specialty Area test for their desired certification area. The score that is required is not absolute, however. There is some flexibility in the passing test score, and that is completely dependent upon the candidate's college grade point average. The higher the GPA, the lower the required test score. Also, the higher the Praxis II score, the lower the required GPA. Consult documents on the New Jersey teacher certification website for the exact numbers required for the Praxis II and GPA.
Additional New Jersey Teacher Certification Requirements
Like most US states, in order to obtain a teacher certification in New Jersey, applicants must submit fingerprints to be cleared in a federal and state criminal history background check. All applicants should send in their Authorization and Certification forms to the Criminal History Review Unit before sending in their completed teacher application.
New Jersey Teachers Licensing Application Process
Once all the requirements for New Jersey educator certification have been completed, applicants must send in all of the information. The New Jersey Department of Licensure and Credentials receives a lot of applications during the summer months, so it's recommended to send in all information three to four months in advance of desired employment date. The required steps to become a teacher in New Jersey are as follows:
- Proof of clearance from criminal history background check
- Official transcripts showing proof of bachelor's degree
- Proof of teacher program completion at an accredited teacher preparation school
- Completed application for teaching certification
- Passing score on the required examinations
- Payment of non-refundable certification processing fees

Faience, a very smooth and beautiful GTK3 theme for the GNOME 3.6 desktop environment, has reached version 0.5.2.
Faience is still a work in progress, but it also contains GTK2, Metacity and Gnome-Shell themes, not to mention an icon theme based on Faenza.
As a side note from the developer, it only provides support for Gnome 3.6 and it needs Murrine (GTK2) and Unico (GT3) engines to work properly.
Highlights of Faience 0.5.2:
• Some bugs with Nautilus rubberband and dual-pane view have been repaired;
• The text color of items displayed on the desktop has been fixed;
• New arrows for inline toolbars and linked buttons have been implemented;
• Incorrect color of backdrop progress bars has been fixed;
• Invisible switches with non-english languages have been repaired;
• Dash launchers tooltip for right-to-left languages.
Download Faience 0.5.2 right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
