Home Brewed Supplements: Make Your Pre, Intra, and Post Workout Supps From Home!Submitted by SamOmidi on Sun, 01/27/2013 - 05:00
Now, I love my supps as much as the next guy, but they're not for everybody. Many modern day dietary supplements like concentrated whey protein and pre-workout energy boosters contain refined sugars and flavorings that go right against the healthy lifestyles of their target audience. There are ways around that, though.
You can make your own workout supplements that will not only keep you healthy, but will keep you on track to make some great gains as well. It will take a bit of creativity and some specific ingredients, but making your own workout supplements can be fun and rewarding. You can save money, eliminate unneeded calories from your diet, and tailor fit your pre-workout dosages to fit your needs.
First we want to take the most popular workout supplements used today, and break them down to their component parts, then rebuild them to fit a clean diet.
5 Intense Workout DVDs for MMA FightersSubmitted by dwaynethomas on Sat, 01/26/2013 - 05:00
Due to the intensity of the sport, MMA athletes require a high-impact, well-balanced workout that includes all the essentials that they face while in the ring including: strength, cardio, power, agility, and balance, among others. A run around the track or an old Richard Simmons workout tape isn't going to cut it.
These 5 workout DVDs promise to deliver the high-quality workout that MMA fighters need in order to see big results and become ring-ready:
1. Rushfit
Developed by MMA fighter Georges "Rush" St. Pierre, the intense "Rushfit" training camp style workout promises to share "the secrets of a champion" to achieve excellent results. The program includes six DVDs that contain seven 45-minute high-intensity workouts that focus on all the essential MMA training elements including: strength, balance, agility, flexibility, power, endurance and core stability. The system also includes 2 training guides with nutrition management plans to train from the inside out. The workout requires a set of dumbbells and 8 weeks of dedication alongside instructor, Georges St. Pierre.
The Reality of Medical TourismSubmitted by adrienneerin on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 13:25
Maybe you've heard about people flying off to distant lands for cosmetic surgery on the cheap. Tummy tucks are one-third of the price and breast lifts are available for $1,000 each. I lived in Costa Rica for a year, the mecca of medical tourism, and I know exactly what it's like. While abroad, I got four major cosmetic surgeries from an American-educated doctor for a fraction of the cost back home.
When you've lost a substantial amount of weight, especially in a short time, there's often nothing you can do about loose skin. No amount of toning or lifting weights is going to make you look better. Your trainer will tell you this, and so will your doctor. However, just like e-therapy, insurance doesn't cover cosmetic surgery most of the time.
Put a Number on It
I lost 100 pounds in less than a year, which meant I had loose skin pretty much everywhere. I got a thigh lift, tummy tuck, breast lift and upper arm lift in one long, nine-hour surgery. It's always nerve-wracking going into surgery, and even more so in a foreign country where you don't speak the language. While my doctor spoke English fluently, the rest of the staff only spoke Spanish.
Weight Loss Drug Mediator Involved In a New Wide Scale Public Health Scandal in FranceSubmitted by Iryna20 on Sat, 01/19/2013 - 05:00
A new wide scale public health scandal in France once again stirred the country involving the previously sensationalized pharmaceutical scandal of the Laboratoires Servier. The company manufactured the amphetamine derivative Mediator which is a weight loss drug prescribed for diabetics who are overweight and is also used as an appetite suppressant drug, like Cialis. The scandal involves the reported numerous deaths owing to the intake of Mediator mostly by diabetics and weight loss buffs.
Fresh public health scandal
Neuro Gastric Band ReviewSubmitted by Carol Finch on Thu, 01/17/2013 - 03:14
It seems the latest new craze for the weight loss industry in 2013 is weight loss psychology. The latest advancement sent to me being something called the Neuro Gastric Band Program. Created in the UK by weight loss psychologist Marvin Phythian it claims to increase mental strength, program good eating habits and make you feel valued. Having spent years on every diet under the sun I thought I'd road test something different.
The online product talks about how regular healthy people don't rely on fad diets, weight loss clubs etc to stay in shape. Instead it says that if you let go of your dependence on crash and fad diets and strengthen your inner psychology you will find the discipline to stick to a healthy regime and lose weight. Well that sounded right to me and highlighted my lifelong problem of not being able to stick to a diet, I was interested if not sceptical.
So how does it work?
Before I'd even accessed the product I had been given 3 audios to listen to. Each of them had the psychologist talking about a different principle followed by an exercise to help focus and strengthen your mind.
Valeo Deluxe Speed Rope ReviewSubmitted by Pavlos Pappas on Wed, 01/16/2013 - 10:06
I love practicing personal fitness in my own house and I usually execute a number of different fitness activities to keep myself fit and healthy. Recently, I watched on TV a fitness exercise performed with the jumping rope and I instantly loved it. Right away, I thought that for my personal fitness training, skipping would be a really beneficial activity not only as fun and recreation but also as a cardiovascular workout.
I so much wanted to start practicing the jumping rope aerobic exercise in my own home. My first thought was to find and buy a really effective and of high value jump rope. Although this particular market was completely unknown to me, I was immediately attracted to the "Valeo Deluxe Speed Rope". But could that jump rope give me an effective cardiovascular exercise? Is it made of good material? I just needed to get into the detail of this jump rope and find out more about it.
How does the "Valeo Deluxe Speed Rope" work?
In the video below, you can watch two guys who describe in every detail the "Valeo Speed Rope". They explain the features of this jump rope which make it unique, they show how to adjust the length of the rope and they finally proceed and give a demonstration.
Review: Nourish™ Skin Tight™ Body Firming LotionSubmitted by Marianne Plunkert on Sun, 01/13/2013 - 00:35
When I was asked if I wanted to review Faber Products' Nourish™ Skin Tight™ Body Firming Lotion, I agreed with equal measures of skepticism and hope. I recalled reading an article a while back that asserted that no topically-applied product could penetrate deeply enough to achieve the skin-tightening effects attributed to these types of lotions. On the other hand, the Director of Design & Development of Faber Products had contacted the editor of WeightLossTriump.com and suggested that a review of his company's body firming lotion might be of interest to the website's readers. Only unbiased reviews are posted on WeightLossTriumph.com, an independent blog focusing on diets and weight loss, so I reasoned that the Director must be fairly confident that his company's product actually works.

ExerBeat ReviewSubmitted by Oana Chirila on Thu, 01/10/2013 - 05:19
Reading the manufacturer's enticing opening line product description -"Ever used the following excuse: "I'm too busy to go to the gym!"- I knew this Wii game has been designed with people like me in mind! I actually DO have a gym membership but I hardly use it because there is always something more pressing to do: cook dinner, take my little one to a play area, and watch a programme on T.V..... Anyway, I also dread looking at over toned women lifting huge weights in the gym and feel rather inadequate when my two sets of 12 lunges leave me exhausted. So I much prefer the option of working out from home where its only the virtual trainer who can have a go at my fitness level!

How Diet DNA Testing May Assist in Weight-lossSubmitted by Dr. Amarendra on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 11:27
Dieting is mostly an unending cycle of losing weight momentarily and regaining it within a few weeks. There are numerous diet plans in existence each with different success stories (or stories of utter failure). The question which consistently baffles dieters is "which diet plan suits me best and which will work?" Nothing is more disheartening than rigorous and careful dieting efforts all in vain. The reply to the question posed may probably lie in your DNA. Latest innovations and discoveries in genetics and DNA testing have revealed that the best diet is that which is suited to the personal DNA makeup of a given individual.

Dr. Alston has taught intro psychology, child psychology, and developmental psychology at 2-year and 4-year schools.
The Law of Proximity states objects that are near, or proximate, to each other tend to be grouped together. It is part of the Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization and Gestalt psychology, which was founded by Max Wertheimer. Wertheimer noted that rapid sequences of events create the illusion of motion. An example of this would be movies or motion pictures. Movies are actually a rapid succession of still images that create a seamless visual experience. This is also known as the phi phenomenon.
The Laws of Perceptual Organization are a set of perceptual organization principles that explain how smaller objects are grouped to form large objects. Likewise, the Law of Proximity is a visual and perceptual organization concept that states when movement and grouping happen visually, our minds fill in any missing information. The whole is greater than a sum of its individual parts has influenced the discovery of phenomena that often occur during the visual perception of things we see.
Basically, the Law of Proximity states that the brain more closely associates objects close to each other than it does when objects are spaced far apart. It is thought this kind of clustering occurs because humans often have a natural inclination to want to group and organize things in a neat and organized manner. In the example below, the blue circles on the left present as a group of vertical circles. The blue circles on the right appear to be grouped in two horizontal rows.
In the example below, birds are flying and we often group how they fly into a 'V' form. This is also true for airplanes and air show formations that display flying skills. When this law is used, the viewer is more likely to gather the visual data and proximities in what's being presented in order to look for underlying messages within the image so he or she can respond accordingly.
A great example of this concept would be the art of Claude Monet. Monet's art is not composed of paint strokes, but is actually colored dots/dabs organized to form a picture. If you stand close to an actual Monet, you would be able to see the individual dots. However, in order to see the picture as a whole, you would have to stand away from the picture. Standing away from the picture visually organizes the dots into an image organized by principles such as the Law of Proximity.

Avoid B ventricosum- that one only swells if stressed, and then the rest of the plant doesn't always look so good.. and if you don't stress it, it becomes a monster. This one is easy to control.

Episode #305
In a "Help Wanted" jobs special, Need to Know examines how millions of jobs are unfilled, even during a period of high unemployment, because workers don't have the necessary skills.

The "American Voices" essay focuses on efforts to end hiring discrimination against the long-term unemployed. [26 minutes]

Comic Book: Jessica Jones
Jessica Jones is a Marvel Comics superheroine, originally created by Brian Michael Bendis. She was the main character of Alias (November 2001, also written by Bendis) which was the first comic released under the R-Rated MAX imprint, which notably had the word "FUCK!" on the first page.Jessica Jones was known as Jessica Campbell as a teenager, and lived in Forest Hills, New York, where she attended Midtown High, where a certain wall-crawling hero also attended at the same time. On a family drive one day, her father lost control of the vehicle and collided with a military convoy carrying radioactive material. Her entire family (father, mother, and little brother) were killed and she ended up in a coma. When she awoke, she was adopted by the Jones family and she soon discovered she had superpowers.She soon put on a costume and created a heroic identity: Jewel. She had a pretty low-key career and was somewhat known to the New York superheroes, especially Ms. Marvel, until she encountered the Purple Man, who seized control of her mind for eight months and subjected her to psychological abuse. He sent her to The Avengers' Mansion in order to kill Daredevil and she attacks the only person wearing red at the mansion: the Scarlet Witch. Jessica endures a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown by Iron Man and The Vision until Ms. Marvel saves her. Jessica slips back into a coma and is brought out only by psychic therapy by Jean Grey. Soon after therapy, and after a short stint as a hero named Knightress, Jessica decides to hang up the cape for good.She goes on to start Alias Investigations, a private detective agency where she soon finds out she cannot outrun her past as a superhero (as it's brought up by almost everyone she meets). In between solving cases and snarking, she vacillates between romantic feelings for Scott Lang and for Luke Cage. By the end of the book, she realizes she's pregnant with Luke Cage's child and the both of them start a romantic relationship.After Alias, she was a character in The Pulse (a series focusing on the Daily Bugle), in which she and Luke are a couple and she gives birth to their daughter, Danielle. She later marries Luke Cage in New Avengers and is a sometimes member of the team, when she's not being a mother. She also played a significant role in the first few arcs of Young Avengers.A Jessica Jones TV series has been in Development Hell for years, but has finally been dusted off and debuted on Netflix as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is titled Jessica Jones and stars Krysten Ritter as Jones. The first season was released on November 20, 2015.
Tropes pertaining to Jessica Jones include:
- Action Mom: The Superheroine/detective has a daughter.
- Berserk Button: Bringing up the Purple Man incident was a big one in Alias.
- Break the Cutie: One of the more extreme examples in the Marvel Universe.
- Broken Bird: After the incident with the Purple Man, leading her to quit being a superhero.
- Drowning My Sorrows: She drank quite a lot in Alias to mask the emotional pain.
- Expy: She shares a lot of similarities with Bendis's version of Spider-Woman, both with the private detective background, the friendship with Ms. Marvel and the snarky Knight in Sour Armor demeanor. In fact, Alias was originally going to star Jessica Drew, but Bendis could not use her, so Jessica Jones was created instead. The two later team up at one point during Alias.
- First-Person Smartass: Her narration in Alias. Spider-Man has a rival to the throne of Marvel's premier Deadpan Snarker.
- Flight: She says she can't fly very well, though it seems that she's just out of practice. In her early days as Jewel, she flew just fine.
- Flying Brick: Flight? Check. Super Strength? Check. Invulnerability? Check.
- Happily Married: Her marriage to Luke Cage has a lot of love. In fact, their love for each other and their daughter has helped them defeat a lot of problems together.
- Lady Swears A Lot: She curses very frequently in Alias. She was cursing even as a teenager, and even after she moved beyond MAX's mature imprint and onto the G-Teen rated comics, she kept it up, sometimes being covered up by Symbol Swearing.
- Lighter and Softer: An Enforced Trope via Marvel Comics' policies on their MAX publications, in which Jessica started. Marvel only permitted a limited few of their characters (such as Luke Cage, Punisher and Jessica herself) from making extended appearances in a MAX book outside of being The Cameo. Due to the mature language, sexual content, and other things, the vast majority of their exhaustive cast of characters were not allowed to participate. When Bendis felt he had done all he could with the character under these limited conditions, he ended Alias and integrated Jessica into the main Marvel Universe. As a result, she had to become a much lighter and softer character.
- Love Triangle: In Alias, she was caught in between Ant-Man and Luke Cage. She also had a interest in Matt Murdock.
- Mama Bear: Do not mess with her daughter. Norman Osborn and Kang the Conqueror both found this out the hard way.
- Mind Rape: The extent of the Purple Man's mental torture was so severe, she couldn't tell whether or not she was doing things with her own will or his.
- Mugging the Monster: In the first book of Alias, a Corrupt Corporate Executive sends a goon after her, who taunts her about being a necrophiliac rapist. Unfortunately for him, Jessica is much stronger and much tougher than he is and it doesn't go well.
- Pregnant Badass: During The Pulse. She beats the daylights out of Norman Osborn for a while after she thinks he caused a miscarriage.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Subverted. Several people ask her if Kilgrave ever raped or sexually abused her while under his control, and she insists that he never did. However, she also insists that she feels no less humiliated, traumatized and violated than if he did.
- Remember the New Guy: She was retconned into Marvel continuity as a Midtown High student who had a crush on Peter Parker (she was even there when he was bitten by the spider). From there, she was supposedly a minor superhero known by Carol Danvers since The Bronze Age of Comic Books. Jessica's Anti-Hero stint as Knightress before she started Alias investigations was also retconned into The Pulse.
- School Newspaper Newshound: Her Ultimate Marvel universe counterpart, who also attends school with Peter Parker.
- The Snark Knight: Not just a Deadpan Snarker, but she had some serious self-esteem issues before finally working on them at the end of Alias.
- Super Strength: An undefined amount, thought it's at least enough for her to lift and toss cars.
- Super Toughness: Jessica is much tougher than an ordinary person, and though she survived being beaten by Iron Man and the Vision, she sustained serious injuries. She also admits that she is unsure of whether or not she is bulletproof.
- Where Da White Women At?: Jessica says to her daughter that being the product of an interracial relationship and two superheroes is enough to make her life hard. Her husband, Luke Cage, got called out by this by the new Power Man.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: As part of her Jewel costume, she dyed her hair a purplish pink.

Logan Locke, 11, of Muskegon attended Mark Martin's Ice Fishing Vacation School with his father and brother to learn fishing techniques.
Dozens of high-tech snowmobiles race across a white morning tundra. Distinct runlets of ice glimmer aquamarine through windswept snow.
I'm traveling with a group who look like futuristic nomads, and we are on a quest to conquer winter walleye fishing at Mark Martin's Ice Fishing Vacation School on Saginaw Bay. The ice sleds are so advanced they look ready rise up and become Transformer robots.
If your idea of ice fishing is frothing into a dizzy sweat drilling a hole through the frozen water, and shivering for hours to catch fish, think again. Today's ice anglers aren't using grandpa's ...

With increasing demand for design services, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) is continuing to strengthen. As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate nine to twelve month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the February ABI score was 54.9, up slightly from a mark of 54.2 in January. This score reflects a strong increase in demand for design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 64.8, higher than the reading of 63.2 the previous month – and its highest mark since January 2007.
"Conditions have been strengthening in all regions and construction sectors for the last several months," said AIA Chief Economist, Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA. "Still, we also continue to hear a mix of business conditions in the marketplace as this hesitant recovery continues to unfold."
Key February ABI highlights:
• Regional averages: Northeast (56.7), Midwest (54.7), West (54.7), South (52.7),
• Sector index breakdown: multi-family residential (60.9), mixed practice (56.9), commercial / industrial (53.3), institutional (50.7)
• Project inquiries index: 64.8
The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving average, whereas the index and inquiries are monthly numbers.

The instances of collaboration alluded to in this collection are only a small fraction of the many projects now forming an important part of the distance education landscape. The editors have personal experience of many good ideas that never progressed beyond the drawing board. Some proved impractical; others suffered from lack of trust, or funds, or other inhibitors. Readers can no doubt add their own examples. Attempts at collaboration have so proliferated, however, that detailed reports of successes and failures serve the valuable function of alerting would-be collaborators to factors militating for and against success. The case studies presented here cannot represent every variety of collaboration in distance education. In some respects they are an idiosyncratic choice, mixing the editors' desire to elucidate the policy implications of inter-institutional collaboration with their knowledge of particular ventures that might illustrate such implications. The case studies chosen do not deal with the lowest risk end of collaboration, such as straightforward information exchange or consultancy activities. Rather, they are characterized by complex motives and environments that significantly affected the success (or otherwise) of the venture. All are written by distance educators with firsthand knowledge of their subject. Each was asked not merely to describe the project but to reflect on the qualities and influences that caused it to develop as it did, and to suggest the broader policy implications that might be drawn from it.
The first two case studies deal with collaboration in the development and teaching of programmes. In both cases, there were two institutional partners. Both exemplify an interesting phenomenon: the development of integrated, 'laddered' programmes whereby partner institutions consciously structure and ease

I know some of you are thinking: Will Ashley ever stop doing the menswear thing? But, I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. She's fashion forward and is one of the few who can wear a relaxed, boyish Calvin Klein tux and make it look desirable. In fact, I'm off to get mine now. What are your thoughts?

Never been keen on the twins to be honest, in terms of looks I find their features a bit squashed. I also agree with the above posters that say she does not have the neck for the upturned collar look of this blouse. I would go with a collarless top for her definitely. Saying that..what I do like about this is its elegant and understated in an era when most younger Hollywood types do not seem to know where to draw the line. It makes her look self-assured and relaxed, and I am all for that!

We spent a couple of weeks at Charlotte's house in July 2012. It was our home base as we toured West Flanders, England, and Paris. We loved the house, it was a great place to relax after a long day of touring, every morning we'd walk down the block for a Coffee at the local bakery, the grocery store was...
We stayed at Charlotte's House for two nights in March 2012. This was our second visit - we came originally in December 2007 just after it first opened - and we were just as impressed the second time round. We stayed in the attic room both times: it is beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed and lovely en suite...
We had an excellent stay in Charlotte's House, we all felt like being at home. Very nicely decorated and furnished, which makes the house very cosy. Breakfast was tasty and abundant. Since we had the kitchen at our disposal, we could prepare our own dinner. The location is perfect, as the house is at just 2 minutes walking from the...
B&B was all that others had said - friendly helpful welcome, good breakfast, and clean comfortable room. Location was excellent, we parked outside the front door, and did not touch the car again until we left. Easy walk to main square (2 min max), plenty of restaurants to choose from.
Only problem for us, was internet would not connect to...
We had a great stay for a few days at Charlotte's House - an excellent place located only a few minutes slow walk from the centre of town and about 10 - 15 stroll to the Menin Gate. Guests have the run of the house as the owners live elsewhere. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The only downside...
A relaxing, beautifully appointed house - be sure to read Charlotte's info file and look at the pics of the renovation of this house. Everything was spot on, from the comfy bed to the great breakfast, to the linen and decor and of course Charlotte, our friendly hostess, who makes a mean scrambled eggs.
Absolutely loved this B&B. It was like having your own house in Ypres. Beautifully renovated with good size rooms and excellent shower room. The continental breakfast was absolutely superb and only 2 mins from the shops, bars and restaurants of Ypres.
If only all B&B could be like Charlotte's.
What a nice stay we had at Charlotte's House in Ypres, it was a pleasure to spend time there.
Our room was very very clean and spacious, the double bed was massive. The bathroom was modern with a lovely big powerful shower with lovely fresh towels and flannels supplied. Complimentary shower gel and shampoo were supplied.
Whist you are there,...
Beautiful newly renovated house close to centre ot Ypres. You have access to the whole house which is extremely clean and an ideal base for exploring the area. Kitchen was very well equipped, good size lounge and dining room as well as small terrace at the back of the house. Breakfast was made in the morning by the owncer, Charlotte,...

AFRICA/SIERRA LEONE - Race against time to control the outbreak of ebola
Freetown (Agenzia Fides) - In the last two weeks, the NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has treated more than 70 patients with symptoms similar to those of ebola and fears a possible increase of patients in the coming weeks (see Fides 10/07/2014). Beyond medical treatment, the control of the epidemic will require the deployment of many people to train health staff on infection control measures, monitor and track cases and their contacts, to create a network for the epidemiological surveillance and to promote public health messages. Because of the limited human resources, MSF is focusing its efforts on the treatment of patients and community awareness in relation to the disease, with more than 150 local and international operators in action in the Country. The organization is concerned about the hidden cases. At the moment, the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) is starting to reinforce the teams involved to trace the contacts. Patients must still be identified; in one village near Ngolahun (Eastern Province) almost 40 have been reported. Through the creation of centers for the treatment and unit transit near the villages affected, MSF can intervene quickly and reduce the risk of infection in local hospitals and in the community. In units of transit in Koindu and Daru, patients who show symptoms are isolated while waiting for the test results. The Zaire strain of Ebola can kill up to 90%, but if the infected people receive treatment at the first signs of the disease they are more likely to survive. Ebola creates fear in the community and people who are ill are often stigmatized. Families can be driven out of their villages and sick people are moved away and die in solitude. To reduce the fear, MSF teams provide psychological support to patients and their families. The epidemic that is spreading in West Africa has reached unprecedented levels in terms of geographical spread, number of cases and number of deaths. According to WHO data updated to 15 July, since the beginning of the epidemic, there have been 964 cases and 603 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 21/07/2014)

So, ever wonder what's really motivating Linden Lab's recent push to implement an Adult content rating and firm up age-verification for Second Life? How about HR110-920 FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2009?
This is an appropriations bill that covers a lot of ground, covering appropriations for a whole lot of things. Introduced on 10 December 2008, the bill specifically includes an appropriation for an investigation and report to Congress on explicit content in virtual environments and on the access to those environments by minors.
"The Committee is concerned about reports of explicit content that can be easily accessed by minors on increasinly[sic] popular virtual reality web programs. The Committee directs the FTC to issue a consumer alert to educate parents on the content that is available to children on virtual reality web programs. In addition, no later than 9 months after enactment of this Act, the Commission shall submit a report to the Appropriations Committee discussing the types of content on virtual reality sites and what steps, if any, these sites take to prevent minors from accessing content." [HR110-920]
Virtual Worlds News reports that two FTC attorneys have already been tasked with this investigation and report from March this year (despite that there's no record that the appropriations bill has been passed at this stage). The report is supposedly due in December.
March, you may recall, is the month that Linden Lab surprised everyone with its new age-verification and separating out the most extreme Second Life content into its own area.
Up until now, Linden Lab has been using the FTC's recommended best-practice age-verification system: Asking people if they were 18 or over, and believing them.
Whether or not the FTC has been okay with that to-date, has little bearing on what Congress will think when it gets the report.
"Congress is worried that virtual worlds that set a minimum age of 13 (for COPPA purposes) or 18 (to keep out all minors) don't adequately screen out younger users. And, of course, they're often right." [VWN]
Linden Lab developers have mentioned to Second Life users that they are pushing very hard to get all of the technical mechanics for the new scheme in place by a deadline only a few weeks away. Would anyone be surprised if the investigation is scheduled to come to the Lab some short time after that date?
|Are you a part of the most widely-known collaborative virtual environment or keeping a close eye on it? Massively's Second Life coverage keeps you in the loop.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Standing side by side were two men who both played defensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins, but in different eras, which is why Manny Fernandez found himself looking up to Tim Bowens. The 6-foot Fernandez played at 250 pounds in the 1970s and now weighs a svelte 205. The 6-foot-4 Bowens played at 325 pounds a decade ago and looks it. "What makes you think the game has changed?" Fernandez said with a laugh. Fernandez and Bowens are among six former players to be inducted into the Dolphins' Walk of Fame, the team announced Wednesday. Joining them in a ceremony before Sunday's game against Jacksonville will be quarterbacks Earl Morrall and Don Strock, receiver Nat Moore and former defensive end A.J. Duhe. Fernandez played with the Dolphins from 1968-75 and was a member of their Super Bowl championship teams in 1972 and 1973. Morrall (1972-76) also won Super Bowl rings, and Strock (1974-87), Moore (1974-86) and Duhe (1977-84) played on Super Bowl teams. Bowens (...

Sustainability Science and Policy
I have a joint appointment with the Department of Social Sciences and the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. My research fits generally within the framework of multidisciplinary sustainability science. I develop and test sustainability indices for their utility to manage dynamic human-environmental systems from local to global scales. I also look at the impact of economic trade on the sustainability of these systems, the so-called "leakage" effect, and its impact on local ecosystems, the "boomerang" effect. Finally, I am interested in using economic incentive policies and landscape-scale management tools to safeguard forest ecosystem services, commonly referred to as "payment for ecosystem services" (PES).
My training and experience is multidisciplinary, split between ecology and policy, as well as some natural resource economics. I use computer simulations and GIS, to data collection in a variety of habitats. I have conducted field work in the coastal sage scrub in southern California, the Florida Everglades, urbanized watersheds in Cincinnati, protected natural areas throughout the Midwest, and the boreal forest in Finland and Russia.

Why would they even think of letting the Reno Aces leave.
Look what we do for other businesses that come to Reno. We waive taxes, give them deals on rent, sometimes even pay them to relocate to Reno and surrounding areas, and some of them do not bring into the city money like the Aces do, and they also have a huge payroll - they have over a hundred employees, bring large amounts of cash to the hotels and casinos and so on.
So why do these council people think we voted them in to office to throw out one of the BEST thing has has happened to Reno in decades? And now I am thinking the worst thing to happen to Reno is the new City Council.

I told my parents. I couldn't help it; I didn't (and often still don't) have that much of a filter when it came to what I told them. That, and home was a lot safer than school. I needed
to feel safe. Even to this day I hear from some (either said about others or said to me) that it's a huge flaw that I'm very sensitive. I feel things deeply and cry easily, both when something bad happens to me,
if someone else is hurting. That, and being academically advanced, made me a huge target.
People perceived weakness. And the response was to either hurt me, or ask me to change my essential nature to be more like what they perceive to be "correct."
Still is, to this day, sometimes.
My mom tried to help. It didn't do much good because either well-meaning teachers made it worse, or the school administration joined in with the bullies in blaming me for it.
To this day, I still have a very, very hard time receiving a compliment for others. Part of my mind reacts to it like Admiral Ackbar: "IT'S A TRAP!" And usually in school, it was...bullies used to sometimes say something nice and then rip the rug right out from under me, absolutely humiliating me in front of everybody. I have a hard time trusting people--either trusting that others are being honest with me, or trusting that
am capable of holding up my end of a friendship.

I know what you mean, Nerys. Being bullied has made me more sensitive as well, and also I guess, more aware. For the longest time, I used to be a very shy unsociable person because of this, but have slowly worked my way out of my shell. And like you, I've tended to question even friendly approaches from people because I feared it would be another prank. I did have a prank happen that way too once, going so far as someone calling the house and making disparaging comments or asking something unacceptable, which only made me more uncomfortable. That adds to a long line of reasons for getting frustrated easily.
I haven't been bullied, so I hope I'm not just coming across as extremely insensitive. But I think at a certain point it becomes something you just can't hold onto. I wasn't bullied in school but I have been treated badly by people and had trust betrayed and I absolutely get why it's difficult to trust again. Even without bullying I have so many self-esteem issues. But saying "These people did this to me," is also like giving them continued power in your life.
I think that human interaction leaves us vulnerable, no matter who you are. There's always that risk in order to achieve that reward. At some point you've got to say okay, these ten people were really shitty to me but that's such a small segment of the population. Everyone is not that way. Or if everyone
that way in your life, examine why. Is it because you live in a small town where you stand out too much? Is it because of something you can't control and that really isn't your fault?
I don't know what I'm trying to say exactly, just I think it's a little dangerous or unproductive to linger on this sort of pain too much. I think you'll also find trust can be difficult for anyone, bullied or not. We've all been burned by someone.

Pa. officers responding to domestic enter burning home to save woman
By Chico Harlan and Jim McKinnon
BELLEVUE, Pa. — Around 11:30 Monday night, Bellevue police Officers Bill Scheller and Earl Grubbs III arrived at a small apartment building on Maryland Avenue. Somebody there had placed a 911 call — "some threats being made over the phone," Officer Scheller said — and then hung up.
Neither officer expected anything serious. The caller never mentioned smoke or fire.
When Officers Scheller and Grubbs got to the 16-unit Maryland Terrace Apartments, a resident opened the secure door to let them inside.
"And as soon as we opened that door," Officer Scheller said, "it went from, like, a nothing call to 'holy cow' in eight seconds."
Smoke had already filled the hallway of the building's first floor.
Other residents walked outside unharmed, but the officers — without fire safety gear — rescued one woman. All three ended up yesterday at Allegheny General Hospital, though both officers were later treated and released.
The woman, whom police did not identify, was conscious but incoherent after officers dragged her from the building, Officer Scheller said. He said he believed she lived alone. Her condition was not available yesterday.
Police are taught not to enter burning buildings, Bellevue Police Chief Michael Bookser said. But in this case, the officers, who were the first at the scene, responded as they had to.
Before firefighters arrived, the two officers, both with more than 10 years' experience, began pounding on first-floor doors, trying to find and warn people who might be inside.
"We made it halfway through the hallway. We could tell right away somebody might be inside [one apartment]," Officer Scheller said. "We forced entry into that apartment, and we started shouting.
"We could hear a muffled voice. We crawled in about five feet, and that's where we encountered her, laying on the floor."
Together, the officers dragged the woman toward the stairwell, away from the thickest smoke. By then, firefighters had arrived and took over on the first floor.
The policemen spent the next minutes searching the higher floors of the building, where the air remained breathable.
Some 10 minutes after exiting the building, Officer Scheller, 43, collapsed at the scene. He said he wasn't sure if it was due to smoke inhalation or the jolt of adrenaline.
First-floor resident Raymond David Jackson, 48, said yesterday that the woman rescued from the apartment had moved in only recently.
"She would have been [dead] if they didn't go in there," Chief Bookser said. "They saved her life."
The other residents stayed outside for several hours, then returned to the building.
The fire is under investigation. Police are uncertain of a link between the initial call and the fire. No damage estimate was available.

Failover Clustering and Network Load Balancing Team Blog
The installation procedure for Failover Clustering in Windows Server 2012 is very similar to that found in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. In this blog we will discuss the changes in Windows Server 2012 as well as the different options for installing the Failover Clustering feature.
Windows Server 2012 continues with the Roles and Features model. All clustering technologies are considered Features, as they are infrastructure that enables Roles to be made highly available.
The Failover Cluster feature consists of the following components as shown by the Windows Server PowerShell CmdLet Get-WindowsFeature:
Display Name
Failover Clustering
This installs the core Failover Clustering feature and all fundamental requirements. It does not include any management tools.
Failover Cluster Management Tools
Includes the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in and the Cluster-Aware Updating interface.
Failover Cluster Module for Windows PowerShell
Includes Windows Powershell cmdlets for managing failover clusters. It also includes the Cluster-Aware Updating module for Windows PowerShell, for installing software updates on failover clusters.
Failover Cluster Automation Server
Includes the deprecated Component Object Model (COM) programmatic interface, MSClus.
Failover Cluster Command Interface
Includes the deprecated cluster.exe command-line tool for Failover Clustering. This tool has been replaced by the Failover Clustering module for Windows PowerShell.
The Failover Clustering feature can be installed with either Server Manager or Windows PowerShell cmdlets. In Server Manager, the Add Roles and Features Wizard is used to add roles and\or features. The Add Roles and Features Wizard are accessed in the Server Manager Menu bar by choosing Add Roles and Features from the list.
This starts the Add Roles and Features Wizard. The Installation Type is Role-based or feature-based installation.
Be sure the correct server is selected in the Server Selection screen
In the Features screen, select Failover Clustering
A pop-up screen appears listing additional requirements for the feature
If you wish to install the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in and Failover Cluster PowerShell cmdlets, management tools, then click Add Features
Confirm the selections and click Install
The installation of the Failover Clustering feature does not require a reboot, checking the Restart the destination server automatically if required check box is not necessary.
There are optional features available for the Failover Clustering feature administration tools.
These are deprecated features (Failover Cluster Command Interface (cluster.exe) and Failover Cluster Automation Server) in Windows Server 2012 but are made available, as there are still some applications that may need them, SQL Server being one of them. Installing it may be necessary for any legacy scripts you have built on the old Cluster.exe command line interface.
Once the Failover cluster feature is installed, the Failover Cluster Manager interface is available in the Tools category in the Menu bar.
Failover Cluster Manager is also available by right clicking on a node in the cluster in the All Servers view.
Choosing Failover Cluster Manager opens the snap-in.
See this doc for the steps of setting up the cluster now that you have the feature installed and are ready to go:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
It is important to note that you must run these cmdlets in a PowerShell console that is opened with elevated privileges, which means opening it with the "Run as Administrator" option.
The following cmdlet will install the Failover Clustering feature and the management tools. Note: If you do not specify the –IncludeManagementTools switch, the Failover Cluster Administrator and PowerShell cmdlets for cluster will not be installed.
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Failover-Clustering –IncludeManagementTools
You can use the –ComputerName parameter to install the features on other servers without having to log into them. Here is an example of the cmdlet to install the failover cluster feature and tools on a specified server, in this case "ServerX":
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Failover-Clustering –IncludeManagementTools –ComputerName ServerX
If you would like to find the list of features and the names to specify in the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet, you can use this cmdlet:
Wildcards can be helpful to narrow down the returned set of features:
Get-WindowsFeature Failover*
The Get-WindowsFeature Failover* cmdlet will return the feature, but not the tools. To get the tools you can use the following:
Get-WindowsFeature RSAT-Cluster*
The command :
"install-windowsfeature RSAT-Clustering -IncludeAllSubFeature"
Is also usefull to add all Clustering features.
FYI SQL2012 repair may fail due to the command line interface features not being installed on a node. Apparently 2012 still uses cluster.exe when running repair scripts. Someone at MS please notice that these scripts need to be upgraded to Powershell cmdlets!
In some cases on a multi-subnet cluster, when the nodes were not able to communicate & changes were not propagating at times. Cluster.exe showed the requested information for all the nodes & marked an error message for the others where as PSH showed information about healthy nodes only.
This can be confusing.
Which Windows Server licensing/edition is required to setup a failover cluster? We are planning to setup a 2-node failover cluster to run a SQL Server and another application both of which require automatic failover in case the node on which they are running fails.
The Failover Clustering feature is present in the Standard, Datacenter, and Hyper-V SKUs. For SQL Server HA scenarios, many of our customers use the Standard SKU.
I have two servers with windows 2012 installed, I want to create a windows cluster but I donot have any shared storage attached. Is that possible to create a cluster with shared storage.
Please reply to email@example.com
The best place for questions on Failover Clustering is in the Cluster Forum. Here's the link:
Now if I could only locate how to uninstall the Cluster Manager feature, the circle would be complete.
uninstall-windowsfeature RSAT-Clustering
I have two server both are physically separate and in intranet network.
I want to use windows cluster for sql server always on availability purpose. I dont have DNS & Active directory.What exactly i have to install for windows failover cluster.
Please reply on my e-mail :-email@example.com
Abhishek Dadarya
Hi, I really appreciate this kind of blogs, the information is very helpful.
I am planning to deploy this environment:
Failover Cluster Win Server 2012
2 Physical Servers
1 Virtual Machine DC1, DNS & DHCP
1 Virtual Machine NODE1, FILE SERVER, PRINT SERVER, SQL SERVER, WSUS.
1 Virtual Machine DC2
1 Virtual Machine NODE2
I would like to hear your recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
