I must obtain the number of random numbers from the user through a GUI dialog box.
The 2 guidelines that my professor is requiring are:
1) My program should have at least two methods, "displayArray" and "reverse"
2) I am not allowed to create a new array within the method "reverse" to perform the task.
I have this code completely written, and I am having trouble reversing ALL the digits.
Output of my program: 7 random digits
myArray[0] = 5
myArray[1] = 14
myArray[2] = 88
myArray[3] = 18
myArray[4] = 20
myArray[5] = 8
myArray[6] = 46
myArray[7] = 100
After reversing the array
myArray[0] = 100
myArray[1] = 46
myArray[2] = 8
myArray[3] = 20
myArray[4] = 20
myArray[5] = 8
myArray[6] = 46
myArray[7] = 46
And since I am not allowed to simply make a new array, the code posted below is how I am handling the reverse.
public static void reverse(int[] arrayOne) {
for(int i = 0; i < arrayOne.length; i++)
int temp = arrayOne[i];
arrayOne[i] = arrayOne[arrayOne.length - i - 1];
arrayOne[arrayOne.length - 1] = temp;
System.out.println("myArray[" + i + "] = " + arrayOne[i]);
Thanks again for the help.
Michael Pickens wrote:What started out for me as a logical process has now turned into a big guessing game . when i added the /2 to the length, it only prints out like this:
thus you can see I am missing 4 out of 7 indexes.. i suppose that is because arrayOne.length/2 = 3 (7/2=3).

Hi everyone and welcome to the March 31, 2011 edition of my best thrift store finds of the week. Each week I'll post several pics of items that I've recently sold on eBay as well as share with you the profits that I've made for that item. This post thread has quickly become my favorite and hopefully you're starting to get some ideas of what brands and items to look for at your own thrift stores.
Finds of the Week
Vintage NINTENDO 1985 WORLD CHAMPION JACKET
Item Cost: $4.99
Winning Bid: $35.00
ROBERT GRAHAM Long-sleeve SHIRT
Item Cost: $3.99
Winning Bid: $24.99
ROBERT GRAHAM Tuxedo SHIRT
Item Cost: $3.99
Winning Bid: $24.99
This week was really exciting for me because I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and try to look for other products. Those who've been following the previous finds of the week are aware that my reselling strategy is to look for sports products and shoes. Although those two categories are still my best sellers, I know that thrift stores are full of other items that are great to resell. The Nintendo jacket did well because I know there's a nostalgia factor when it come sto "old-school" video games systems like Nintendo. The Robert Graham shirts I found by accident. I never heard of the brand before but I noticed that the tag was still attached to the purple shirt and it showed that the shirt retails for $158! It was an easy purchase after that. Take a look at my Tag…you're it post to find out how sales tags have helped me find those great thrift store items to resell!
Good luck with the treasure-hunt!

Warriors In Cataclysm
You and your 3v3 partners have just queued up and entered the arena, and are now waiting for the game to begin. The gates open, and you and your teammates instantly spot an enemy warrior on their arena frames. You breathe a sigh of relief, well aware that warriors have long since fallen from their previously coveted position atop the arena class representation charts in earlier expansions to the point now of being steadily driven lower and lower until, finally, warriors have taken the place of hunters as the least represented class (at 1800 ratings and above) in 3v3 arenas today. Apart from early WotLK, warriors have never seen such a drastic decline in their arena representation. Why has cataclysm broken the consistent trend of warriors being able to hold their own as one of, if not the, top arena melee class?
There are many things that come into play when determining why mid-Cataclysm so negatively impacted warriors in arena. Warriors have been generally perceived as a strong, well-balanced arena class in the past, and while occasionally jumping to the top of the arena food chain due to either the rising popularity of a new FotM warrior comp or a recent update patch, warriors have had a collectively smooth ride as a more than viable (if you exclude the disaster of a season that season five turned out to be) yet rarely 'overpowered' class throughout WoW's arena seasons – at least until the second season of Cata rolled around. Before season ten, though, warriors were doing more than fine –some may go as far as to say they were overpowered – throughout the entirety of season nine. They did great damage and had a large variety of viable comps to play and succeed with even at higher ratings, ranging from those that were fairly uncommon (such as warrior/mage/dpriest or warrior/enh sham/hpal) to those that became the most popular for warriors (such as warrior/hunter/healer or warrior/dk/hpal), which would also end up accounting for most eligible warriors' s9 gladiator titles.
Nowadays, compared to that previous period of warrior success, is a much less encouraging time for the warrior class. A major strength for warriors during the days of season nine was the elasticity of team and comp selection due to the wide variety of comps available, which allowed them a much easier time finding a team to play, practice and push rating with, but unfortunately for warriors today the situation has become practically the opposite. People would arena with warriors in season nine for virtually one reason: their absurd damage, both burst and sustained. Teams benefited from having a warrior simply due to how much ridiculous damage they could dish out on nearly any target because of the (at the time) newly implemented skill colossus smash. Taking any healer and any DPS class and queuing with a warrior into arena just for fun would still almost always have a decent chance of success if your team could recognize and take advantage of the insane damage capability that came with having a warrior on your team. The same cannot be said for warriors' depressing situation today. It is bleak and has been for months, with no signs of a reprieve on its way before the upcoming expansion launches, but there are several major issues that could potentially be resolved to help put warriors back on their feet and arena competitively once again.
Out of all the problems warriors are facing, one in particular stands out as the most crucial, which is how drastically a warrior's effectiveness in arena diminishes the instant they become a target. Assuming it's a decent team that knows what they're doing the warrior will quickly be forced to go defensive, losing most of their damage output due to sitting in defensive stance with a shield. Even wearing full resilience doesn't make a big enough difference to change most games, which leads to another huge warrior issue. Plate armor just doesn't mean what it used to anymore, due to the many armor reducing/ignoring abilities and talents other melee have. This factor hurts warriors even more than other plate classes because of warriors' lack of passive defensive abilities/talents on top of clunky, outdated defensive cooldowns that are unusable when stunned or otherwise cc'd (aka disarmed) which makes their armor even more important to them. Combined with the completely unnecessary 15 second increase on spell reflect's cooldown, warriors are left at a disadvantage against both other melee and spellcasters by remaining extremely vulnerable to any spells cast against them even with spell reflection available as well as by being the only melee left with 100% of their damage done being physical, another factor that continues to keep warriors below other melee. When you add all of these factors up, it's not difficult to see why warriors have been and continue to struggle throughout the remainder of the expansion.
Warriors enjoyed a brief period of success in Cataclysm but have now fallen into the worst state of decline that they have experienced thus far, and with the next expansion's release drawing closer, there is little hope for a rekindling of the class's arena representation. It is a very negative and depressing situation for many, some of whom who have stuck with and played warrior for years, throughout all of their ups and downs. Those who still enjoy the warrior class will continue to play and hope for the changes their class needs, even in face of the problems and frustrations that are more than likely to remain in place, at least until the release of the next expansion. Overall, while Cataclysm has not been the best for warriors (as they were viable and sought after for only one full season before sliding headfirst into last place on the arena representation charts), there remains good reason to believe that they can and will make a strong comeback in the upcoming expansion.

- Our dogs and puppies are in-home raised and are very well socialized, with daily handling and play time in the yard. We do not dock our dog's tails.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the traits of your MaltiPoos?
Are all your MaltiPoo puppies first generation MaltiPoos?Talking to people who bought MaltiPoos from us in the past, it seems that most of our puppies are very intelligent (from the Toy Poodle side), and at the same time very calm (from the Maltese side). MaltiPoos love to be active when they are outside or on the floor in the house, but if you pick them up or have them sit with you, like on the couch, they calm down almost immediately and sit quietly with you. The MaltiPoos calmness also usually translates into less barking. The majority of our MaltiPoo puppies have the softer hair from the Maltese with some waves, instead of the tight curls from the Toy Poodles. You can read about the traits of the Toy Poodles and Maltese under the tab "Breed Descriptions" on our website. We obviously hope that each of our MaltiPoo puppies inherits the best traits from both parents, but nature being nature, we can not guarantee it.
Do you have a waiting list?Yes, all our parents are purebred Toy Poodles or purebred Maltese.
Can we come and see the puppies?We do not have a waiting list nor accept deposits before the puppies are born. If we currently do not have a puppy available for you we will e-mail you when our next litter is born.
How can I reserve a puppy?Yes, please. We really prefer to meet you and your family before finalizing the adoption, but if distance prohibits this, we should talk about the puppy's proposed living conditions. - Due to other obligations in our lives, we request by appointment only. Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are best for us.
Where can I find the Adoption Application?If you would like put a deposit on one of our puppies, please e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call (231-360-9022) us and let us know which puppy you would like and when you are planning to send the $100 deposit. At that point we will let you know if the puppy is available and if so, we will hold the puppy for you for 5 days to allow your deposit, along with the Adoption Application to reach us in the mail. We will mark your puppy on our website with "Deposit Pending". Once we receive your deposit and Adoption Application, we will e-mail you and let you that we have received it and will mark your puppy on the website with "Deposit Received".
For the deposit, who do I make the check out to and where do I mail it?Please print the "Adoption Application" form from our website, fill it out and send it, along with your deposit to us.
Do you accept PayPal?Please make your check out to "Dallys Dogs" and mail it to: P.O. Box 273, Interlochen, MI 49643
Have you ever turned someone down from adopting a puppy?Yes, we do accept PayPal, but we prefer a personal check, certified check, or money order. If you are planning to pay for your puppy in full by PayPal, we require that the PayPal payment be made a minimum of 7 days before you pick up your puppy.
What if I put a deposit on a puppy and when I come to pick my puppy up, I see a different puppy I would prefer?Yes.
Is the deposit refundable?We can apply your deposit to any "available" puppy.
I live far away. Will you deliver my puppy or will you meet me part way?Sometimes. If we do not approve you for adopting one of our puppies, we will refund you the deposit. If we approved you and held the puppy for you, but you do not come and pick up the puppy within the stated time frame on the Adoption Application, we will not refund your deposit.
Will you send us updated pictures?No.
* Adoptable dates are tentative. Some puppies need a little extra time with mom. * Dogs who weigh up to 4 lbs as adults are considered Teacups. Dogs who weigh between 4 and 6 lbs as adults are considered Tiny Toys and dogs who weigh between 6 and 11 lbs as adults are considered Toys.

From the Manufacturers of Specialty Tools for the Pool & Spa Trade
Reasons for using a Zinc Anode in chlorine-generated salt water pools:
Any time you have different metals (copper, stainless steel, etc.) in a salt water pool you create a battery, some amount of current flows between the metals.
The electrons that make up the current are supplied by one of the metals giving up bits of itself in the form of ions to the pool water: This Is called galvanic corrosion galvanic corrosion causes plaster discoloration and metal erosion.
The best way to inhibit the effect of galvanic corrosion is to use a Zinc Anode (sacrificial anode).
Zinc is a metal that gives up its metal ions faster than other metals in the pool water.
In other words, the zinc anode will erode instead of other metals (i.e.: pool light, light niche, heater & hand rail and ladder). The zinc ions will not discolor the pool plaster.
The zinc anode should be replaced when half of it has been lost to erosion.
Swamp Green Pool Clean-Ups
We get calls from time to time to clean up these distressed property situations. They are not a problem for us, but for banks and home owners they can bring big fines from the county. Let us help before the mosquitoes get hold!

As we move on to a new year in our fight against global poverty and hunger, UNICEF is introducing an innovative food supplement — "Plumpy'Doz" — to very young children in Somalia.
The brown paste supplement is made from vegetable fat, peanut butter, sugar, milk, and other nutrients, and is designed to taste good to kid. Critically, it also has a longer shelf life than previous diet supplements and doesn't need to be mixed with water.
Three teaspoons of Plumpy'Doz three times a day provides each young child with additional energy, including fats, high-quality protein and all the essential minerals and vitamins required to ensure growth and a healthy immune system.
Other partners, such as the World Food Programme and Doctors Without Borders, have already been using the supplement, but: "this is the first time that Plumpy'Doz will be distributed on such a large scale. UNICEF is working with partners to take proactive action to not only treat but prevent malnutrition," said Christian Balslev-Olesen, said UNICEF Somalia Representative. "By adopting this new approach, we aim to reach children before they become malnourished."

John J. DeAugustine has been named publisher of The Daily Gazette, a family-owned daily newspaper based in Schenectady, N.Y. He succeeds John E.N. Hume III, who has been publisher since 1990. Hume, whose family has owned The Gazette for over a century, will remain at the paper as publisher emeritus as well as vice president of the board of directors.
DeAugustine was most recently corporate vice president of circulation for the Hearst Community Newspaper Group, overseeing audience development and operations space for seven daily newspapers and four weekly papers in Texas and Michigan. He was executive vice president and publisher of the Connecticut Post from 2009 through 2012.
Much of his early publishing career was focused on overseeing circulation, or audience development, efforts at companies including the Times Union of Albany and the York Newspaper Co.
"The Gazette's board of directors is pleased to welcome John DeAugustine to be the first non-family publisher of our newspaper," said Elizabeth Lind, board president. "John is a strong leader, with a solid knowledge of our industry and our region. Those qualities will help us continue our tradition of strong journalism and community service as well as to grow in the changing media marketplace."
"There are tremendous opportunities available to The Gazette now," DeAugustine said. "It's a really exciting time to be in this business. Over the past 15 years, the newspaper industry has changed dramatically. The way we deliver media and the way we monetize our audience is dramatically different now than it was five years ago, and even more different than it was 15 years ago. "
DeAugustine is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where is majored in applied mathematics. In 2009-2010, while publisher of the Connecticut Post, he was also a fellow at Columbia Journalism School's Punch Sulzberger Program, a leadership training initiative for senior news executives.

The Eerie NGO Phenomenon in Kashmir
October 7, 2013 § Leave a comment
By Parvaiz Bukhari
(This article was first published by The Honour Magazine, April 2010, (pg. 16-20).)
Conflicts have always allowed very suitable ecosystems for Non Governmental Organisations or NGOs to flourish in. Embroiled with armed insurgency for about two decades now, Kashmir has attracted a plethora of organizations. But going by the numbers, the region seems to have become a heaven for NGO activity.
There is no central register for the NGOs operating here, no guidelines or any overt accountability. Various estimates put the figure of existing NGOs up to 16,000. Apart from the office of the Registrar of Societies, NGOs are registered for various non-profit activities as trusts and voluntary groups in the district courts. Besides, many NGOs from across the country operating in Kashmir are not registered here.
All you need is five persons and a draft of bylaws along with a declaration of supposed objectives that is then registered in any district court where no count is maintained.
Just what is this huge mass of NGOs doing and who are the people who run them? What is the real intent and incentive for this NGO boom in a region that is still considered business 'unfriendly'? Where is the funding coming from? A superficial enquiry reveals a dizzying range of unclear activity bordering on subterfuge.
Government employees, close relatives of bureaucrats, politicians, well-off families and people who have been a part of counter insurgency think tanks, run a number of NGOs in the Valley. Kashmir Foundation for Peace and Developmental Studies (KFPDS) run by a former militant commander, Firdous Sayeed Baba alias Babar Badr, has been on the scene for many years now. Babar and four other former militant commanders were the first to enter into dialogue with New Delhi in 1995. He is also known to be very close to the former Intelligence Bureau (IB) chief A S Dullat, who for many years earlier and during NDA regime served as New Delhi's point man on Kashmir affairs. « Read the rest of this entry »
Walker's victory, un-sugar-coated
June 7, 2012 § Leave a comment
This piece was published at Left Business Observer.
Democrats and labor types are coming up with a lot of excuses for Scott Walker's victory in Wisconsin. Not all are worthless. But the excuse-making impulse should be beaten down with heavy sticks.
Yes, money mattered. Enormous amounts of cash poured in, mainly from right-wing tycoons, to support Walker's effort to snuff public employee unions. While these sorts of tycoons—outside the Wall Street/Fortune 500 establishment—have long been the funding base for right-wing politics, they seem to have grown in wealth, number, consciousness, and mobilization since their days funding the John Birch Society and the Goldwater movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
But lingering too long on the money explanation is too easy. Several issues must be stared down. One is the horrible mistake of channelling a popular uprising into electoral politics. As I wrote almost a year ago (Wisconsin: game over?):
It's the same damn story over and over. The state AFL-CIO chooses litigation and electoral politics over popular action, which dissolves everything into mush. Meanwhile, the right is vicious, crafty, and uncompromising. Guess who wins that sort of confrontation?
Please prove me wrong someday, you sad American "left."
Stonewall was a Wedding?
May 13, 2012 § 1 Comment
This post was published at the excellent Jacobin Magazine blog.
Are we done yet? Do we have to endure another full day of self-congratulation at Obama's personal endorsement of same-sex marriage? His announcement was heralded with as much praise as last summer's legalization of gay marriage in New York. And that was, you know, actual legislation.
This is hardly surprising given the fact that marriage equality is designed to distract liberal consciences and give Democrats political cover to gut social services. While the passage of gay marriage enjoyed the support of prominent campaign donors, it was directly preceded by cuts to homeless shelters for queer youth. It's a campaign season bait-and-switch — winning votes without making real concessions.
Pakistan: A Deficit of Dignity
February 2, 2011 § 7 Comments
Pakistan's rulers and ruling elites may well be thinking that the wave of people's indignation that started in Tunisia and is now working its way through Egypt, Jordan and Yemen will never reach them. Perhaps, they are telling each other, 'We are safe: we are a democracy.'
The Arabs who are pouring into the streets of Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan and Yemen are not protesting only against their dictatorships. Simultaneously, they are also protesting against governments that have sold their dignity and bartered the honor of their country. Nearly, all the Arab rulers are self-castrated eunuchs in the courts of foreign powers, who have turned their own countries into police states, and who jail, maim, torture and kill their own people to please their masters.
The Arabs are venting their anger against elites who have stymied their energies by turning their societies into prisons. In complicity with foreign powers, these elites have ruled by fear, blocking the forward movement of their people because this movement collides with the imperialist ambitions of Israel and the United States.
It is true that Pakistan has had 'elected' governments alternating with military dictatorships. Increasingly, however, these governments, whether civilian or military, have differed little from each other. The priority for both is to keep their power and US-doled perks by doing the bidding of the United States and Israel.
Starting in the early 1990s, Pakistan hurriedly embraced the neoliberal paradigm that emanated from Washington. Hastily, successive ministers of finance and privatization – all of them IMF appointees – went about dismantling Pakistan's industries, selling off for a song its state-owned enterprises, and empowering Pakistan's elites to engage in unchecked consumerism.

Manufacturing Consent and Violence: Azadi, Arundhati, Hindutva Terror, and Indian Media
November 1, 2010 § 3 Comments
by Huma Dar
At a groundbreaking seminar, 'Azadi: The Only Way,' organized by the Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners (CRPP) in New Delhi, India, on October 21st, 2010, the minutes record that Arundhati Roy, the prize-winning author of The God of Small Things, asserted that
[Kashmir] has never been an integral part of India and the Indian government recognised it as a disputed territory and took it to the UN on its own accord. In 1947 we were told that India became a sovereign democracy. But it became a country as per the imagination of its colonizer, and continued to be a colonizer even after the British left the country. Indian state forcibly or deceitfully annexed the North-East, Goa, Junagarh, Telangana, etc… the Indian state has waged a protracted war against the people which it calls its own. Who are the people it has waged war against?

Elections: The day after
October 30, 2010 § 1 Comment
by Robert Jensen
November 2 is going to be a big day in our political lives.
But November 3 will be far more important.
On mid-term Election Day, voters will choose between candidates with different positions on health-care insurance, withdrawal from Afghanistan, and CO2 levels that drive global warming. The politicians we send to the legislatures and executive offices will make — or avoid making — important decisions. Our votes matter.
But Election Day is far from the most important moment in our political lives. The radical changes necessary to produce a just and sustainable society are not on the table for politicians in the Republican or Democratic parties, which means we citizens have to commit to ongoing radical political activity after the election.
I use the term "radical" — which to some may sound extreme or even un-American — to mark the importance of talking bluntly about the problems we face. In a political arena in which Tea Partiers claim to defend freedom and centrist Democrats are called socialists, important concepts degenerate into slogans and slurs that confuse rather than clarify. By "radical," I mean a politics that goes to the root to critique the systems of power that create the injustice in the world and an agenda that offers policy proposals that can change those systems.
In previous essays in this campaign series on economics, empire, and energy I argued that the conventional debates in electoral politics are diversionary because painful realties about those systems are unspeakable in the mainstream: capitalism produces obscene inequality, U.S. attempts to dominate the globe violate our deepest moral principles, and there are no safe and accessible energy sources to maintain the affluent lifestyles of the First World.

"Deem and Pass" Not Typically Used for Controversial LegislationMarch 16, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
As I reported earlier, the "deem and pass" strategy that House Democrats are considering using for passing the Senate health care bill, allowing them to pass it without actually taking a separate vote on it, isn't unprecedented. It has been used at least 6 times for in the past 20 years for enacting what the Congressinoal Research Service calls "significant substantive and sometimes controversial propositions," mostly by Republicans.
But it has never been used in the way the Democrats are considering using it — to pass a bill through the House that doesn't have the votes to pass on its own. As the research below shows, 4 of the 6 uses of the "deem and pass" process, also known as the "self-executing rule," were approved unanimously by voice vote. The other two passed with votes to spare. These are on the 6 supposedly controversial uses of the rule that CRS gives. It appears that the process has mainly been used to speed up adoption of Senate amendments that would have been easily approved under normal procedure.
|Resolution containing self-executing rule
|Legislation that was deemed passed under the rule
|Vote to pass the rule
|101-H.Res. 221 — Waiving certain points of order against consideration of the bill (H.R. 3015) making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1990, and for other purposes.
|Made in order for consideration a provision that prohibited smoking on domestic airline flights.
|Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 259 – 169 (Roll no. 204)
|104-H.Res. 384 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2202) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to improve deterrence of illegal immigration to the United States by increasing border patrol and investigative personnel, by increasing penalties for alien smuggling and for document fraud, by reforming exclusion and deportation law and procedures, by improving the verification system for eligibility for employment, and through other measures, to reform the legal immigration system and facilitate legal entries into the United States, and for other purposes.
|incorporated a voluntary employee verification program, addressing the employment of illegal immigrants.
|Agreed to unanimously by voice vote.
|105-H.Res. 239 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2267) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, and for other purposes.
|Incorporated a provision to block the use of statistical sampling for the 2000 census until federal courts had an opportunity to rule on its constitutionality.
|Agreed to unanimously by voice vote.
|105-H.Res. 303 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2676) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to restructure and reform the Internal Revenue Service, and for other purposes.
|Provided for automatic adoption of four amendments to the committee substitute made in order as original text.
|Agreed to unanimously by voice vote.
|105-H.Res. 420 — Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3694) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1999 for intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes.
|Dropped a section from the intelligence measure that would have permitted the CIA to offer their employees an early-out retirement program.
|Agreed to unanimously by voice vote.
|109-H.Res. 75 — Providing for further consideration of the bill (H.R. 418) to establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver's license and identification document security standards, to prevent terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.
|Changes related to asylum law.
|Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 228 – 198 (Roll no. 27)

It's hard to believe that my first official post to this blog was six months ago. Technically, my first post was July 23, but I only used that one as a basis to build my template and then deleted it.
I had been playing around with Movable Type on an extremely limited basis since the fall of 2003, but it wasn't until this past summer that a good friend and fellow blogger talked me into starting my own blog.
It had been a crazy summer, and I had a great deal on my mind to unload. For one thing, I was quite distressed that I had backslid so significantly from my last successful weight loss attempt. Also, my five-year college reunion had started out the season, and reunions, for me, always seem to bring doubts about the tapestry of my life rushing to the forefront. A couple of weeks later, I traveled to Vancouver for a conference, where I got into a car accident. No one was injured, but I smashed up a rental car (and the other car) pretty badly.
A few weeks after that was one of the more spontaneous moments of my life. I knew that I needed to get over my greatly exacerbated fear of driving. A woman that I had strong feelings for had gone up to a jazz festival in Montréal. One of my best friends convinced me to follow her up there. I ended up driving all the way to Québec, finding her in a crowd of more than 100,000 after less than ten minutes of searching, spending the day with her and her boyfriend and half a dozen other people, and then driving back—without sleeping. Some day I may tell the entire story of that adventure here, but not today…
Fast forward another couple of weeks to when I took a week's vacation to remodel my bedroom and create this blog. Coincidentally, that very same week I also did something that I had resolved to do back in Montréal. It did not go well.
Here we are six months later—so much has changed; so much has stayed the same. My body is now around 65 pounds lighter, so this really isn't much of a weight loss blog anymore. My blog is no longer anonymous (once the boss of my boss's boss stumbled upon my blog and figured out who I was, there didn't seem to be much point). I'm still single; that part never seems to change. I now have a part time teaching job in addition to my day job. I have since become an iPodder, and my newest Mac has triple the megahertz. My bedroom remodeling project still remains unfinished.
I can't wait to see what the next six months bring.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy watches Monday's training camp practice inside the Don Hutson Center. / Evan Siegle/Press-Gazette
Injury report
• Did not practice: Diyral Briggs (hamstring), DE Eli Joseph (hamstring/hip flexor), G Adrian Battles (Achilles), T Chris Campbell (knee), K Mason Crosby (ankle), CB Brandon Underwood (knee), CB Davon House (hamstring), LB Cardia Jackson.
• New injuries: G/T Marshall Newhouse (shoulder), WR Brett Swain (hamstring).
• Returned from injury: LB Clay Matthews, CB Charles Woodson, TE Jermichael Finley, WR Greg Jennings, CB Tramon Williams, DE Lawrence Guy
Mike McCarthy was not a happy coach Monday night. The Packers offense was not impressive during a two-hour, 27-minute practice that featured three fumbles and at least one dropped touchdown pass.
Ball on the ground, thats unacceptable, McCarthy said. That was not a very good practice at all from a fundamental standpoint. You have some tough looks, especially against our defense.
But I did not like the fundamentals, particularly the ball security of the offense tonight. It was poor.
The running backs were the culprits when it came to the fumbles. James Starks put two on the ground, though one came on an awkward exchange from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Ryan Grant was stripped coming through the hole late in the session.
Another blatant miscue came when Jermichael Finley ran an inside slant deep in the red zone and was wide open when a perfect Rodgers pass smacked off his hands.
All of those instances came during team periods. Alex Green fumbled during a ball-security drill.
McCarthy was asked about the depth of the offense, even on a bad day, during his post-practice meeting with the media.
We look great on paper, McCarthy said. But were not close to where we need to be as a football team. Im not going to throw out any bouquets tonight.
Yes, were very talented. Weve got players that have done a lot here in the past. Its exciting when you can put that many skill position players on the field. But the reality is if you dont take care of the football, and you dont take the football away, if you dont tackle, break tackles, dont make blocks, dont get off blocks, dont handle the adjustments that the defense gives you it doesnt make for very fundamental football. We have to step it up in the area of fundamentals.
An obviously irritated McCarthy wasnt done. He cut off a question about the running backs that assumed he was mad about the fumbles.
Im not mad, McCarthy said. Its just the reality of where we are. Its about opportunities. Tight ends went through it last week. Were not tapping the running back position out as far as the reps, but youve got to hold onto the ball. I dont care who it is. Everybodys fighting for a job with a lot less opportunities. We dont have as many practices this year as weve had in the past. Its important for everybody to mentally tighten it down.
Weve had more mental errors this year than weve had in the past. Thats probably true around the league, but we dont really care about the league. We have a standard here.
Time to make a mark
There may not be a better time for T.J. Lang to make an impression on the Green Bay Packers. Theres an open job at left guard with the free agent departure of Daryn Colledge and Lang, arguably, is the best returning interior lineman that didnt start in 2010.
Lang is competing with first-round draft pick Derek Sherrod and Nick McDonald for the spot. Sherrod was drafted to be the tackle of the future. McDonald is in his second year as an undrafted free agent and was inactive for all 16 games last season. Lang, a third year player, has the most experience of the trio with three starts in 2009 and 12 games played in 2010. He will enter the final year of his contract in 2012 and the next deal could be affected by the impact he has this season.
Lang hadnt spent much time at left guard before camp, but doesnt see that as a problem.
I think Ive had enough snaps the last two years, Im comfortable when I go out there, Lang said. I dont feel Im being thrown into the water like I was a couple games my rookie year.
When it does come time, Im poised, Im ready to take over and I feel comfortable. Im confident I can get the job done.
Lang has received most of his practice reps with the second-team offense while Sherrod has been with the 1s. Sherrod has often slid to tackle when Lang comes in as McDonald gets second-team center snaps. Part of that rotation schedule is to get Sherrod caught up after the lockout erased all team-organized summer workouts.
Its a short camp this year with the missed OTAs and all that, Lang said. You really have to make every rep and every practice count. You cant have a bad practice. Itll hurt you too much.
The big evaluation will be when we start getting into these preseason games. With Cleveland coming up, thats going to be a huge step for me to take. You can tell a lot by practice, but once you get into the games its a whole different atmosphere and environment.
The first impression is Sherrod leads the competition since hes taken the No. 1 reps since camp began, but the competition is open. But Lang does think those team reps against the No. 1 defense carries more weight.
If Im going against B.J. (Raji) every single snap, thats definitely going to be a challenge, Lang said. Not dissing any of the other guys, but B.J.s a stud player over there. To get a chance to go against him or Ryan Pickett or Mike Neal when you go against guys like that there is something in the back of your mind, you do want to prove a point by beating them as well.
Same goal, different strategy
The Philadelphia Eagles have been anointed the clear-cut winners of the 2011 free agency period with the additions of cornerback Nnamdi Asomouga, defensive end Cullen Jenkins, running back Ronnie Brown and defensive end Jason Babin. The team also traded quarterback Kevin Kolb for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second round draft pick.
Several news outlets have labeled the Eagles the NFC favorite to reach the Super Bowl.
The Packers, meanwhile, sat back as defending champs and declined to sign a single free agent outside of their own.
The contrast in philosophies couldnt be more different. Packers general manager Ted Thompson lives and dies by draft and develop. Eagles coach Andy Reid and GM Howie Roseman went the hired gun route.
On paper I guess theyre a dream team, Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop said. You definitely have to go out on the field and make it happen. Well see. At the end of the day its a total team thing.
You watch and we want to know where guys are going and who got who. We watch ESPN. Its interesting to see how everything unfolds. But I think I can speak for everybody in here, the guys we have in here, we wouldnt trade them for anybody. It is what it is.
Bishop was asked if all the Eagles and free agency talk lessened some of the pressure on the Packers, who would normally receive a larger share of national attention during their quest to repeat.
Thats a good observation, I didnt really think of it like that, Bishop said. Anyway you can eliminate distractions could be a good thing.
On and on
The competition for the right outside linebacker position continues with Frank Zombo, Erik Walden and Brad Jones in the rotation. They have switched No. 1 reps each day throughout the first seven practices, including Family Night.
There hasnt been an obvious leader and the coaching staff hasnt hinted at one.
Its definitely great to have competition but I feel at the end of the day the best man will prevail, Walden said. I feel like thats me. Im just working hard. Just doing what I can do to allow myself to be successful.
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers said all three will likely play during the season, but thats not what Walden wants to hear.
Being the greedy guy I am, I dont want it like that, Walden said. Im doing everything in my ability to conquer the spot and just allow me to go out and make players.
Injury update
Kicker Mason Crosby has an ankle sprain and will be monitored the rest of the week. He dressed, but did not kick. Defensive back Brandon Underwood suffered a knee sprain during the Family Night scrimmage and McCarthy said he will be out a couple weeks.
Guard/tackle Marshall Newhouse suffered a shoulder sprain during practice and receiver Brett Swain left with a hamstring injury.

Save Gedling School rally at County HallTagged as: cuts education gedling_school local_communities nottinghamshire_county_council school
Neighbourhoods: county_hall gedling nottingham nottinghamshire west_bridgford
On Wednesday 15th December, supporters of the Gedling School held a demonstration outside County Hall to protest plans to close the school.
The rally was timed to coincide with a meeting of the council's cabinet at which they were to discuss budget proposals and plans to close Gedling School.
The Post reported that there were 100 people at the protest, although this is probably generous. That said, it was an impressive turnout, particularly from pupils at the school.
I was impressed by the enthusiastic chanting of the kids, which could be heard through much of County Hall. Most impressive, however, was the imaginative chants. It seems that children are the only group of protesters who haven't had the lefty chant sheet drilled into them.
In between fairly straightforward demands that the council, "Save our school" there were a number of more lyrical chants, such as "We love you Gedling we do... oh Gedling we love you." Another was based - I'm told - on a song by Cheryl Cole (apparently a former member of a popular all female beat combo).
The rally was held from 10am-11am. I think at this point the protesters went into the council chamber to listen to the deliberations of the meeting. They reappeared later and relocated their protest to the side of Loughborough Road, where they seemed to be attracting considerable support from passing motorists if the horn honking was any indication.
Unfortunately, despite the protest, and those which had preceded it, cabinet decided to go ahead with a "consultation" on the closure of the school. This is an unfortunate development, but it isn't the end of the story. I'm sure the kids will be back at County Hall before long.

Firmware hints at new version of iPhone 4
updated 12:18 pm EDT, Mon October 8, 2012
Could be meant as effiency upgrade, China Mobile edition, or something else
A recent version of the iOS 6 firmware may hint at a new iPhone 4 model, reports say. The firmware is listed for an "iPhone3,2" and actually started appearing as a download option on September 19th, but still hasn't been pushed to developers. The GSM version of the iPhone 4 is the iPhone3,1, while the CDMA model is the iPhone3,3.
What a new iPhone 4 might have is uncertain, although there are several possibilities. It could, for instance, follow in the path of the iPad 2, which got a late-life circuitry upgrade that improved its power efficiency. It could also be a "world phone" device, capable of operating on both GSM and CDMA networks. Still another possibility is a 4 built for a previously unsupported carrier, such as T-Mobile USA or China Mobile.
The 4 is now Apple's bottom-rung iPhone model, often free from carriers on contract. Introducing a new revision could be unusual in this light, but might be meant to sustain sales, or alternately just reflect advances in chip technology.

Liz Lemon Immortalized in Dessert
While America mourns the end of the "30 Rock" era, Ben & Jerry's is finalizing its prescription to fill the void left in our Thursday evenings with something sweet.

Refreshment Task Force Two: Institutional Architecture
Report of May 8, 2012
In addition to determining assumptions and setting the procedural ground rules, Task Force 2, identified the following Transformative Ideas on which to work:
Transformative Idea 1
- Adapt UIU structure to include transforming all divisions to Schools.
- This is already underway – with the Andres School of Education – but must be completed as soon as practicable for the other divisions. o Will provide much needed, improved oversight of academic programs.
- Connecting all faculty, full-time and adjunct, in all learning experiences, to the "home" academic school can better be achieved.
- Deans within the Schools will assure UIU greater connection between academic units and areas such as fund-raising, as well as allow for better coordination of academic programs at the Deans Council level.
- Each school – with a Dean – will have more of a strategic view for the majors and programs in the school.
Transformative Idea 2
- Create within the UIU structure a physical/virtual entity for support of all teaching, research and learning.
- This would centralize – while allowing for necessary variations on themes for specific learning experiences – a wide array of support services and initiatives, including but not limited to academic support services, retention initiatives, career services, tutoring, support of service learning, support of faculty-led undergraduate research, instructional support, and virtually anything that would fit into one of four themes: 1)Academic 2)Co-curricular 3)Technological 4)Career
- This could be a place to integrate the concept Task Force 2 has discussed as to environmental scanning and internal adoption of instructional technologies used in high schools and elsewhere that can enhance seamless enrollment of high-performing students into all of UIU's learning experiences. Could also be a mechanism for realizing academic and curricular recommendations from Task Force 1.
- Such a structural entity could also be the framework to coordinate initiatives that would serve all academic schools, such as the "university college" or a "global studies' major, and enhance activities associated with a variety of the UIU Strategic Initiatives.
Transformative Idea 3
- Establish an "academic incubator" capability in the UIU structure.
- This would be akin to a research and development enterprise in a profit sector firm designed to develop new products.
- The function of the academic incubator would be to identify potential new programs and evaluate them as to feasibility for UIU implementation.
- This enterprise would coordinate and integrate information learned about potential new programs with all constituents of UIU - academic Schools, the Development Office, IEC, Communications and Marketing, Academic Extension, International Programs, OSD, Career Development, and on and on.
- Dependent upon further discussion, this idea could be adapted to a "seed money" concept for initial funding of new programs.

Dive Jupiter, FL
by, July 23rd, 2012 at 03:37 PM (680 Views)
Hey everyone! Just got back from an amazing trip to our East coast in Jupiter, FL. We dove with Emerald Charters, the Capt. and crew where so helpful and very professional. The dives were beautiful, vis was every bit of 80ft and water was a just right at 82F. Between the steep drop-offs, 15ft high ledges and rippin gulf stream current there was much to see! Morray Eels, Goliaths, Black tip reef sharks, Bull sharks, hammerhead sharks, more sea turtles than we could keep track of, and such a variety of vibrant colored soft corals and small reef fish, the sight was breath taking
Also, the Capt. gave us a sneak peak into lobster season when he dropped us on a ledge that had antennas under every rock. Can't wait for season
Check out our Facebook Page to see pics and video! Also, keep an eye on out for more dive trips to come!0 Thanks, 0 Likes

I thought at one time there was a feature in Sublime to tab out of auto-competed braces (vs. having to type the character) but it doesn't seem to work that way and I wonder if I'm just losing my mind or should make this a feature request.
1. Type if (
2. Sublime auto-competes to if (|)
3. Type IsReady
4. Press Tab
5. Caret is positioned to the right of the closing parentheses resulting in if (IsReady)|
I installed a plug-in to Visual Studio that does this and it's a huge time saver for me. Anyone remember this working in Sublime (1 or 2)?

Go ahead and click for audio. You will remain dry.
We all missed what appears to have been an extravagant party on this date in 1717. England's King George the First decided he wanted a musical concert…and he wanted it on the River Thames. Some composers would have seen this as another impossible royal demand, but for George Frideric Handel, this was the opportunity he was looking for to get back into the King's Good Graces. Before taking the throne, King George was the Elector of Hanover, and Handel's Patron…but Handel left the future King miffed some years earlier by moving to London and working for Queen Anne of England. When Anne died, Handel's old patron assumed the throne of England…and this was his chance to smooth over some ruffled feathers with the King, which is of course, no small thing. And neither was the concert. Fifty musicians and carefully chosen instrumentation were loaded aboard a barge to perform "Water Music", the Three Suites Handel had composed for the occasion. The order of the suites was determined by the distance between the Orchestra's Barge and the King's Boat…louder and more Dynamic when the King's boat was far away…and the softer and more delicate sections when he and his noble guests were close enough to hear the details. The Reviews came in from the King immediately…in fact he liked the compositions so much he demanded they be played twice more…exhausting the floating, possibly seasick musicians. What you're hearing is the section called the "Air" in the Suite in F-Major. Much later in his life, Handel was called on to pull off another outdoor spectacular, this time the demand came from King George's Son, George the Second…it was called Music for the Royal Fireworks. It's also the birthday of the wonderful singer Phoebe Snow, who we lost earlier this year.

Myth: CFCs Are Heavier Than Air, So They Can't Reach the Ozone Layer
CFCs and other ozone depleting substances ( ODS) are heavier than air. In a still room, they will pool on the floor. However, the atmosphere is anything but still. Numerous measurements have confirmed that these molecules are mixed nearly uniformly worldwide. In the same way that vinegar and oil normally separate when still, but mix when shaken, ozone depleting substances and air are thoroughly stirred together by winds in the troposphere.
Winds are also why the location of CFC and other ODS emissions is essentially irrelevant. CFCs released from a car in the U.S. are as likely to find their way to the stratosphere over India as are molecules released from much closer countries like China. Once they mix through the troposphere, CFC molecules eventually move into the stratosphere. Thousands of measurements over several decades have firmly proven the existence of these heavier-than-air molecules in the ozone layer.
As the graph above shows, the concentration of CFC-11 is essentially constant at altitudes up to 10 km. The UV radiation needed to break CFC-11 apart is shielded by the ozone layer. Because no natural processes destroy CFCs, it survives to be uniformly distributed, both vertically and horizontally. Concentrations drop off rapidly, however, in the stratosphere. As the molecules rise into and above the ozone layer, they are exposed to strong UV, break down, and release chlorine. These measurements are one link between CFCs, increased levels of chlorine in the stratosphere, and ozone depletion.

Somerset's Eddy Martinez-Esteve hits against the Long Island Ducks last month.
- Filed Under
Although he played everywhere from Rookie ball to Triple-A over the last six seasons, Eddy Martinez-Esteve never felt he was developing as a baseball player.
Plagued by a nagging left shoulder injury that first occurred in 2006 and flared up again last season, Martinez-Esteve, now the first baseman for the Somerset Patriots, was more worried about playing though the pain to keep his spot on the team.
"When I wasn't healthy, I couldn't learn because I couldn't play," Martinez-Esteve said. "I had so many injuries that I said, 'If I get another surgery or talk about my shoulder being hurt, ...

Fan Museum
London Pass Benefits:
Free entry to The Fan Museum with a London Pass
Normal Ticket Price: Adult: £4.00 Child: £3.00
If you are looking for an entirely different experience in London why not visit the Fan Museum in Greenwich.
The Fan Museum is another great example of the originality of London museums. The museum is set in two grade II listed buildings dating from the 1720s that have been sensitively restored to their original grandeur in order to exhibit these wonderful items in suitably lavish surroundings.
The museum details the history and social context of each of its collections taking into account the pieces in terms of both status and practical uses. Used for purposes of ceremony and simply to accessorise, their functions have changed many times throughout history.
The pieces on permanent display are intricate and beautiful works of craftsmanship – you can learn how such artefacts were crafted according to the time period and even enjoy a walk around the Japanese Garden of tranquillity afterwards. This Greenwich Museum also contains a permanent collection of 3,500 fans and the superb Hélène Alexander collection.
Just one of many unique Greenwich attractions, this London museum provides enough interest for a day of learning or as part of a day in this World Heritage Site.
Afternoon teas are available to book Tuesday & Sunday afternoons, and additionally on a walk-in basis on Fridays and some Saturdays.
If you are in the area why not pay a visit to the National Maritime Museum – London Pass holders are entitled to a free souvenir visitor's guide.
Special closures: 24th - 26th December

Young County Lodge #485 Raises Cowboy Cartoonist To a Master Mason
- Login or register to post comments
- share this
Young County Lodge #485 in Graham, TX has seen some extreme growth in it's Masonic membership, it's Masonic activities, and it's Masonic benevolence over the past few years; but, none as exciting as conferring the degrees and raising to a Master Mason of one Brother A.W. Erwin.
Brother Erwin, may be best known across Texas and the United States from his drawings of the ever famous Hooves and Horns "Cowtoons". From his bio on the Hooves and Horns web page, we read that Brother Erwin is:
A native Texan, A.W. has been drawing ever since he can remember, and nothing was sacred... old boot boxes, feed sacks or leather scraps, any bare flat surface was fair game for one of his drawings. Most of his work is a reflection of past experiences, building fence and cattle pens, hauling hay, riding bulls and bucking horses, working with "snakey" cattle and the various people and personalities found only in the cow country.
HOOVES & HORNS appears in numerous newspapers, magazines and newsletters, and he has produced his "Hooves & Horns Cowlendars" for over 25 years, with fifteen books to his credit, a line of greeting cards and numerous other related gift items.
It was pointed out on television's "Texas Country Reporter" that a pair of eyeglasses are hidden in each cartoon, a now there's a hidden pocket-knife as well. Folks have been looking for them ever since, maybe they like a challenge, or simply because they recognize the genuine down home humor and it's authentic roots.
Among his many accomplishments and accolades from his cartoon work, one that stands out among the many was when Brother Erwin was recognized in 2004 as the Academy of Western Artists Cowboy Cartoonist of the Year. In December 2011 Brother Erwin came to the Lodge Hall in Graham to pick up a Turkey during the annual Great Turkey Smoke-Out. While there, he quizzed members on how to become a Mason and was invited to take a look around the Lodge. Before leaving with his turkey he asked for and received his petition for the degrees. Brother Erwin advanced through the degrees regularly, raised to a Master Mason in 2012, and in July 2013 was installed as the Marshall for Young County Lodge #485 during this Masonic year. When quizzed about why he joined Masonry he said, "It just seemed like a good bunch of men to be around and be associated with."
Brother Erwin's good nature, humor, and more especially his loving Wife Pam have made a great addition to the membership and Family of Young County Masonic Lodge #485 in Graham, TX. Along with visiting his web page, and to get the latest addition to his cartoon collection, be sure and "like" Brother Erwin and Hooves and Horns Cowtoons on Facebook by searching for Hooves and Horns Cowtoons.
I have seen so much of his
I have seen so much of his work in the past, its nice to.put a face to his work. Congratulations although a bit late. It'd never be too late to welcome a new Brother.

Two stores going into the new Fountains at Farah shopping center have announced opening dates.
Stein Mart, a discount department store selling clothing and home-decor items, plans to open its 32,000 square-foot Farah store Sept. 19, the company announced Thursday. Stein Mart also operates a store in West El Paso.
Loft, a part of Ann Inc., which also operates Ann Taylor women's clothing stores, plans to open in the Farah center Oct. 1, the company reported Thursday.
Those two retailers are among names of 20 retailers and restaurants revealed so far for the 600,000 square-foot shopping center at Hawkins and Interstate 10 on the East Side. The center's official opening is in October, but several retailers besides Stein Mart plan September openings.

I just scanned my first two rolls, developed with what I had at hand (Ilfosol LC29).
I hadd one roll exposed at ISO100 and developed roughly (not taking too much care about time and temperature), and the second exposed at ISO 50 and carefully developed.
I can definitely see a difference in grain, and the latter shows rather fine grain, although still noticeable on a 2800 ppi scan. With a little bit of post-treatment in Lightroom,
however, this is very manageable. I am therefore rather pleased with this film. I will still try to reduce grain, but at least I have a workable solution currently.

Home > Policies and Procedures > Disruptive Behavior Procedure
Disruptive Behavior Procedure
Disruptive, Threatening, or Violent Behavior
Students, faculty, and staff have the right to be free from acts or threats of disruptive behavior and/or physical violence, including intimidation, harassment and/or coercion, which involve or affect the University Community. The University does not tolerate any student, faculty member, administrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly obstructs or disrupts any teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary, public service activity or any other workplace activity held on campus property. The University prohibits retaliation against those who report or cooperate in the investigation of disruptive behavior, University Policy Manual P521 Disruptive Behavior Policy
What is Disruptive, Threatening, or Violent Behavior?
Disruptive behavior is inappropriate behavior that interferes with the functioning and flow of the workplace. It hinders or prevents faculty and staff members from carrying out their professional responsibilities. It is important that faculty, managers, and supervisors address disruptive behavior promptly. If left unaddressed, disruptive behavior typically continues to escalate, resulting in negative consequences for the individual as well as others. Examples include yelling, using profanity, waving arms or fists, verbally abusing others, and refusing reasonable requests for identification.
Threatening behavior includes physical actions short of actual contact/injury (e.g., moving closer aggressively), general oral or written threats to people or property ("You better watch your back" or "I'll get you") as well as implicit threats ("You'll be sorry" or "This isn't over").
Violent Behavior includes any physical assault, with or without weapons; behavior that a reasonable person would interpret as being potentially violent (e.g., throwing things, pounding on a desk or door, or destroying property), or specific threats to inflict physical harm (e.g., a threat to shoot a named individual).
For further information regarding threatening or violent behavior in the workplace, please refer to the University Policy Manual P519 Workplace Violence
After Identifying Disruptive Behavior, How Can I Prevent or Help the Employee?
Employee Awareness Stony Brook University shall take all responsible actions to educate employees regarding the ways to identify and address disruptive behavior. Training and University-wide publications on disruptive behavior will reinforce the University?s expectations that disruptive, threatening, and violent behavior will not be tolerated.
What are the Warning Signs?
Below is a list of signs that may be indicators of disruptive behavior. If you observe a pattern or change in behavior and attitude that causes you concern, please notify your supervisor.
- Repetitive verbal abuse, including sarcasm or poor relationship with customers, co-workers, supervisors, or others
- Very controlling
- Blaming others for problems in life or work; being suspicious, holding grudges
- Persistent complaining
- Challenging or resisting authority
- Destruction of University property
- Becoming unusually upset over recent event(s) (work or personal crisis)
- Withdrawing from normal activities, family, friends, and co-workers
- Making a major change in lifestyle, demeanor, or appearance
Specific examples of disruptive behavior:
- Numerous conflicts, verbal abuse, or poor relationships with customers, co-workers, supervisors, or others
- Inappropriate reaction to criticism of conduct or job performance
- Persistent complaining about being treated unfairly
- Increased, nontypical, or inappropriate tardiness and/or absenteeism
- Behavior related to obsession with another person at the University
- Inability to control feelings, outbursts of anger, swearing, slamming doors, etc.
- Interrupting meetings or trainings with inappropriate comments; hijacking the agenda
- Is isolated or a loner
- Expresses entitlement to special rights and that rules don't apply to him/her
- Says that he/she feels wronged, humiliated, degraded; wants revenge
How to Respond to Disruptive Behavior
- Step 1
- If it is determined that the disruptive behavior most likely occurred but represents a single relatively minor instance, the relevant department head will attempt to correct the conduct informally. The staff member should be made aware of the reported conduct and be given an opportunity to respond. The department head should emphasize (a) the inappropriateness of the conduct and (b) the possible consequences, including formal corrective action, if the disruptive behavior is repeated. If the circumstances warrant the issuance of a formal written counseling memorandum, guidelines to do so are found on the Labor Relation. The response by the staff member and any agreed upon actions should be included and a copy of the written counseling memorandum placed in the employee's official personnel file or credential file.
- Step 2
- The following strategies may be helpful when addressing disruptive behavior. However, if you are concerned that the behavior is violent, or if you or employees experience an immediate threat, dial 911 from a University phone or (631) 632-3333 from a cell or non-campus phone.
- Choose a private place for discussion
- Speak slowly and confidently
- Encourage the person to talk; listen closely and patiently
- Arrange yourself so your access to exits are not blocked
- Acknowledge the person's feelings
- Point out alternatives; break big problems into smaller problems
- Have a means of notifying co-workers or the police if disruptive behavior becomes threatening (e.g., panic button, code word)
- To prevent the escalation of incidents, employees should immediately inform their HR Office or their supervisor of any disruptive behavior.
- As a supervisor, you should take immediate steps to address problem behavior and ensure the safety of your employees. Do not ignore or downplay direct or indirect threats from any person, as they could escalate into serious incidents later on. Work with your manager and Human Resources to develop and implement an integrated action plan to address the problem behavior.
- For advice call your Human Resource office. Contact information is provided in the "Inquiries/Requests" section.

Re: Mass Effect 3
I think the bigger disappointment with ME3 wasn't the ending, it was the fact your decisions in previous games had no impact on the plot.
But none of that is bad enough that it ruins anything about the series or the previous games. I see it as more of a missed opportunity to make the series even better.
Right now I'm in the middle of a second playthrough with a Femshep. I'm trying to make it a renegade game but in ME1 you have to be really evil to get any renegade points. Execute this enemy collaborator? +2 Renegade. Don't murder these innocent people for no reason? +20 Paragon.
This is meant as a playthrough of all three games over a long period of time since I didn't carry over data between games my first time through. Right now I'm toward the end of ME1. But believe me the council is going to die.

It is my experience and opinion that the board of Renton Ridge is arrogant and seems very biased against families and children. In fact, they have an unresolved complaint against them for discrimination and a fair housing violation. The water sprinklers for the fire systems are always going off in the winter due to faulty, cheap and unresolved repairs (according to the contractor I spoke to the last time this hapened), leaving some residents with costly insurance claims and out of pocket expenses due to the severe water damage caused in their and other's units. Then as a result, our fire systems are down for days wile the bwater is shut off to the fire sprinkler systems without anyone from the board or management office notifying us that we are unprotected. In my opinion, the property manaement company this board uses is very incompentent and negligent and has caused more problems than solved them in- again, in my opinion. T
