Chinese Medicine Central Podcast Archive
The field of Chinese medicine can be lonely! Some of you live in places where you're one of relatively few practitioners. Others of you (like myself) live in areas with more Chinese medicine acceptance and movement, yet folks are so busy, they rarely have time to talk to each other. When my colleagues and I do get together, mostly we want to talk about our personal lives and relax after long clinical days.
But, there still needs to be space to talk about how clinic goes, to discuss little business details, and to remind one another that we're not alone in this doctoring thing. That's the spirit with which this podcast was created. It includes a lot of interviews, some clinical musings from me early on in my career, conversations with peers doing interesting things in the field of Chinese medicine, and more.
It is available in iTunes and Stitcher, but both of those services cache only a limited number of episodes. Therefore, here find links to every single podcast episode. You can download them to your computer, then sync to your phone or mp3 player, or you can listen to them right there on the page, in your web browser.
They are listed in reverse chronological order – so the newest episode is at the top of the page. Note : this site, and the podcast based on it used to be called Deepest Health. The Deepest Health podcast was discontinued in late 2014, and the Chinese Medicine Central podcast is being relaunched in 2015.

Young Guns At The 2007 Mopar NationalsWritten by on April 1, 2008 A Gathering Of Guns
The 25th edition of the Mopar Nationals had it all--cool cars, lots of on-track action, and a swap meet/car corral filled with the next round of show winners (many of them in not-yet-trophy-winning condition).
It also featured lots of Mopar enthusiasts who appreciate the style, power, and overall "IT!" that Mopars have, despite many of them being younger than the cars they build and drive.
We met up with some of the Young Guns Club members who were on hand at the Nats, and we got to take a closer look at the rides they discovered, built, and/or preserved, and drove from their hometowns to National Trail Raceway just east of Columbus.

You'd smile too if you'd restored a 340/four-speed '68 Barracuda Formula S coupe the way Gregg Orr Jr. from Hamlet, Indiana, did. He was at the Nats with it and was part of the Young Guns display.Once a Mopar, always a Mopar...but Ryan Cameron's '68 Dodge didn't start out as the Super Bee you see here. He made it from a Coronet 440, adding a 440 and reverse-manual valvebody 727, among other items. Ryan is from Gladwin, Michigan.Young Guns rides at the '07 Mopar Nationals didn't get any bigger than Chad Carroll's '97 Dodge Ram 2500 from Glenford, Ohio. He's upgraded the Cummins turbo diesel, as well as adding brush guards up front--but this Ram's still a hauler and hard worker.New Middletown, Ohio's Rodney Knight was one of the large contingent of B-Body enthusiasts in the Young Guns corral. His '74 Road Runner sports a stock 360/four-speed powertrain.Not only did the Young Guns show off their Mopar prides and joys, some also raced them. In the pits is T.J. Kost from Atwater, Ohio, and his '71 Charger R/T.
There's a good reason why Morgan Campbell had the hood and trunk open on his '73 Coronet Custom from Lebanon, Ohio. He picked the parking spot in the Young Guns' corral that was right next to the judging tent, right where folks could see his well-preserved, late-production '73.It's a Dodge; it's an R/T; and a Young Gun has made it his own. That's Aaron Work and his McConnelsville, Ohio-based '01 Neon R/T.When was the last time you saw a hideaway-headlight-equipped '71 Charger 500 in the pits waiting to race? Unless it was Alex Kosts' Dodge from Atwater, Ohio, (wearing a year-of-origin plate up front), it was many moons ago.If you think Slant Six-powered Swingers like Young Gun Rachel Walz' '71 are sweet, you're definitely Dodge Material!OK, Mopar historians: Which item under the hood of Rachel Walz' '71 Swinger from Gowanda, New York, wasn't included in the optional Easy Order Package that year, but should have been?The Plymouth-win-you-over beat goes on, generation after generation, as evidenced by Kyle Matthew from Hamlet, Indiana, and his '68 Plymouth Satellite.Another one for you Mopar Historians, courtesy of Young Gun Rodney Knight's '74 Road Runner: Name an iconic Mopar-related movie where you saw one of the title characters drive a car with that same-style steering wheel, and name one where the lead character grabs gears with a pistol-grip shifter like that one.

Everybody Wins!
* A pro football player catches the winning touchdown pass, but lands badly -- and breaks a bone.
* A high school athlete trains hard to compete in the state meet, but ends her day in the locker room, barely able to walk.
* Your weekend includes shooting hoops with your kids. It's great fun, but what's with this aching shoulder?
* Your 80-year-old mom's living on her own and doing well -- until she falls on a patch of ice and fractures a hip.
Four entirely different scenarios, but all point in one direction: the world-class care of Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, team of experts led by Dr. Mark Lundeen. A well known orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lundeen has treated a diverse range of orthopedic and sports medicine injuries from the recreational to elite athlete (including U.S. Olympic Ski Team) to patients in need of total joint replacement. Today he leads a group of over 40 specialists, all committed to delivering a broad spectrum of care in what has become the region's first choice destination center for orthopedics and sports medicine care.
"Our mission is to provide the very best orthopedic care for each and every person," says Dr. Lundeen. "It's a myth that the level of care provided to a professional athlete differs from the care provided to a recreational or high school athlete. At Sanford, our goal is to employ the exact same strategies in every patient we see -- athlete or not."
With clinics in Bemidji, Fargo, Sioux Falls and Worthington, Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine is built on an acclaimed team of orthopedic specialists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, nutritionists and exercise specialists. This wide-ranging team pioneers the depth and breadth of care provided to patients of all ages and conditions.
So what does this mean for you? It means you and your family have the advanced care you need for all types of musculoskeletal and athletic injuries: bone and joint disease, joint replacements, injuries related to work, accidents, falls, sports and recreational activities, and more.
And you have care when you need it. Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine offers a variety of walk-in acute care services, direct access from referring healthcare providers and Certified Athletic Trainer coverage for many schools and events in the region. The key to returning to performance is expertise and access.
Care beyond the expected
Top-level care at Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine focuses on a precise diagnosis and a team approach to treatment and rehabilitation. Highlights include:
- The latest in orthopedic treatment and rehabilitation services.
- Individualized attention. Energized, highly trained athletic trainers and physical therapists provide one-on-one support during recovery to help rebuild strength and improve conditioning. The goal: patients can recover from their injuries as quickly as possible -- but always safely.
- Wide-ranging support to meet individual performance and fitness goals.
- Commitment to injury prevention. This commitment includes fitness training, physiologic and neuro-cognitive assessments (ImPACT sport concussions), personal fitness consulting and instruction. "We want to ensure patients are fully ready, whether they're returning to the playing field -- or to their active, full lives," says Dr. Lundeen.
But there's more: "Sanford's organizational structure allows our group of orthopedic surgeons to lead the way in new technology and innovation. We're able to come together, share our knowledge and improve care for the people we serve. That's very exciting!" says Dr. Lundeen. One major initiative that we are working on is the development of a bone and wound healing research center. The center will develop innovative technologies for fracture fixation and implant design, thus improving patient care.
Dr. Lundeen underscores that these technologies are not just for athletes. "We're committed to bringing advanced care to a wide range of orthopedic and sports medicine patients. The highest level of care, compassion and applied technology to every patient," says Dr. Lundeen.
Welcome to the National Institute for Athletic Health & Performance
Yes, you'll find elite athletes at Sanford's National Institute for Athletic Health & Performance. Athletes of all levels as well as active individuals may access the expertise available here.
Unique in the nation, this center serves a dual role:
- Conducts research used in setting standards for safety and performance policies for appropriate exercise, training and sports participation.
- Provides professional services for athletes and teams including heat stress testing, detailed physiological evaluations in a controlled environmental chamber, fitness testing, sports nutrition, consulting and assessments on the athletic field.
"Performance enhancement can apply to the elite athlete as well as the developing athlete," says Dr. Lundeen. "We're here for anyone who wants to excel and perform at their very best."
Of special note, Sanford has partnered with the world's largest and most recognized sports medicine association, American College of Sports Medicine, to form the National Youth Sports Health and Safety Institute. More information on this partnership can be found at www.nyshsi.org.
Your destination
So that injury from catching the football? That strain from intense training? That sore shoulder from playing with the kids? That fractured hip from taking a fall?
Bring them all to the team of experts at Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine -- where everybody wins!

ATLANTA -- A Pace Academy teacher is scheduled to appear in court Thursday on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography.
William Villemez was arrested Monday.
MORE | Letter to Pace parents says investigation took years
Days earlier, parents at another prestigious Atlanta private school learned a janitor was videotaping students in the boys and girls bathrooms. Josh Ensley, who worked at the Paideia School, faces the same charges as Villemez plus producing child pornography.
RELATED | Bond denied for Paideia janitor
MORE | Paideia janitor accused of videotaping students
Both men were charged in connection with the same international child pornography investigation. Federal court documents explain how the overseas investigation led straight to Atlanta.
In October 2010, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and foreign law enforcement began an investigation into an overseas movie production company that operated an Internet website and offered pornographic DVDs for sale.
According to criminal complaints, Villemez and Ensley purchased child pornography DVDs from the Canadian company's website. The complaints say packaged DVDs were transferred to a shipping facility in North Tonawanda, New York, where shipping labels were attached. The packages then were sent through the mail.
Shipping labels and business records recovered from a search at the North Tonawanda location led investigators to a number of addresses, including the homes of Villemez and Ensley.
The documents say Villemez placed 11 separate orders from the company that were shipped to his Smyrna address. Ensley made 39 separate orders, according to the complaints, that were shipped to his home in Tucker.
There is no indication in the documents that Villemez and Ensley knew each other.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service referred questions to the U.S. Attorney's office in Atlanta. They declined an interview and wouldn't say if the investigation goes any further or whether more arrests are expected.

I am from ohio and alot of friends that have came out there said they cant justify spending a ton of money on a spotting scope . well i think that it would be a great asset to have . we are planning a DIY stay out under the stars public land hunt . so here is the real question is there a spotting scope that doesnt cost a arm and a leg and is still worth hauling around . we all have good optic binos and great scopes . so one of our dads said why do you need a spotting scope. I kinda agree but when it comes to looking all day i feel a spotting scope would help. any input would be great guys . also any info on Mt south east area would also be great

2013 Honda FourTrax
Honda of South Carolina Mfg. Inc. in October built its 2.5 millionth ATV at its Timmonsville, S.C., plant.
"Reaching the milestone of 2.5 million units is a testament to the commitment of our associates and the entire Honda team to produce products that exceed our customer's expectations," says HSC plant manager Scott McKenzie.
The ATV production milestone occurs just 14 years after Honda began ATV production in the Timmonsville plant. HSC has manufactured many different models of ATVs since its start in 1998, including the FourTrax and SporTrax series, which the plant continues to produce today.
With the flexibility to produce many powersports product models, associates at the Timmonsville plant currently manufacture all Honda ATVs for the North American market and the vast majority for global sales. HSC is also the exclusive North American production site for all utility models.
In addition to manufacturing, Honda has established research and development, and engineering, as well as the company's export handling operations in South Carolina, along with a parts distribution center and other operations that support product development, manufacturing and sales in North America.

An inflated sense of elf
WINFIELD, W.Va. -- For the past 20 years, as the sun goes down in November and December, Bud Turner walks across his driveway to the garage by his house.
As darkness falls, around 5:30 p.m., Turner flips 29 switches on a circuit breaker, and in seconds the plastic blobs dotting the grass come alive.
Inflatable reindeer, snowmen, elves and Santa Clauses in almost every pose -- hunting, fishing, driving, relaxing and even using an outhouse -- cover Turner's lawn.
More than 150 extension cords serve as speed bumps along his driveway, which loops around in a circle at his riverfront home on Winfield Drive.
Paired with around 75,000 lights, Turner's 3 acres of property is almost entirely covered in Christmas decorations.
"We encourage people driving by to pull in the driveway -- we've got a circle anyway -- instead of slowing down on the road. They don't bother us," said Turner, 69.
It's safer that way, he noted. Several years ago a woman trying to look at the lights rammed into the back of a car in front of her, so Turner tries to get the word out to just pull into the driveway to take it all in.
Last year on a single night about 100 cars come through the driveway.
"I've heard some people from outside the area come down to look at it," Winfield Mayor Randy Barrett said. "He adds to it every year -- it's quite extensive."
Jazzy renditions of Christmas carols play from one inflatable decoration. On many nights, Turner's grandson, Bryson Hoff, 6, is out dressed in an elf costume dancing and handing out candy canes to people in cars that pull through the driveway.
"He tells me to hide and says elves don't have parents, so I walk over there when cars come," Turner said, pointing to a gazebo.
"We're hoping he'll outgrow it," Stacy Hoff, his mother, said about her son's elf costume.
"Oh, he likes it, Stacy; it's OK," Turner said. "Me and him are the only ones. It's Christmas every day for me and Bryson."
Turner usually exceeds the annual limit recommended by his wife, Nancy, of purchasing three new inflatables.
"I think I'm at about seven this year," he said.
"That one is new, and so is that one," said Savannah Hoff, 11, Turner's granddaughter, pointing at two of the inflatables.
Fighting the chill in the air, Bryson and Turner walked through the yard pointing at their favorite scenes of Santa last week.
"This one has a leaf on it," Bryson said, brushing off the foliage the wind had blown on to its side.
"I guess I'm about the same age as he is," Turner joked, looking at Bryson.
"Whatever doesn't move, we put lights on," he said. "That's how we get our pizza," Turner said, describing how he gives directions to delivery drivers.
Residents who live along the riverfront in Hometown have a beautiful view, as the lights along the back of his home reflect on the water.
The lights are strewn along tree branches of dozens of trees with no organization.
"Kids see all kinds of things in the lights," he said comparing them to cloud formations.
One nearly 70-foot-tall tree was decorated several years ago by a friend of Turner who owns a tree-trimming business.
"A lot of them we don't take down, just plug them back in every year," he said.
Turner said his lights don't seem to bother his neighbors, as he shuts them off at about 10 p.m., except on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
And how big are Turner's November and December electricity bills?
"Well, I don't talk about it," he said with a laugh. "My wife does."

Allan, the market (as u know) is driven by sentiment & the sentiment has definitely turned after a 5 yr bear market. Yes, debt is still there & Europe is still a basket case but they're not imploding either. Company results have been good. Plus low interest rates, billions on the sidelines, something's gotta give and that's what's happening
shorting fmg at 5.40 is a good bet. They are a basket case of a share, high cost producer and iron ore wont be sustainable at $155 per ton.
We only need some risk off and the whole world will run to the hills and as usual the retailers will start drawing money out of the equity funds. They are always the last one in on a rally.. and always sell at the bottom unfortunately.
To the bull skeptics, there are billions sitting in bonds, term deposits & fixed interest earning bugger all. Now the global economy is stabilising, that money has to find a home. Guess where? That's why the market reaction has been so violent. Fear of missing out is just as powerful as fear of losing money.
Sure, sure that's why the massive debts are still there.
The money will go into a universe far far away called QE repaid.
To all the shorters out there, keep putting those shorts on CBA, JB Hifi. FMG etc. Love to see u get burnt more & help drive the market higher when u have to cover. The market is going higher. Results here so far & in US have been crackers.
Really? Did all that debt disappear? Umm... no it didn't.
Oh my Buddha, I see so many Bulls..
I don't believe..
Ah, so JohnB claims my name is ironical because I am obviously "hocked big time in property and it's clouding my judgement" and "while the market may push up further to hyper ridiculous levels it will eventually fall down."
Sorry JohnB, my name is very apt, because I AM balanced. Experience has shown me that the answer is usually in the middle, not at extremes, and I will argue with extremists of ANY persuasion. The trouble is, on this forum, all the extremists are exclusively at one end of the spectrum.
I can easily think of 20 to 30 posters on here repeatedly saying (dreaming) property is about to crash. But I don't know of even one, let alone 20, that is at the other extreme claiming property is about to boom to hyper-ridiculous levels. If anyone said that I would ridicule them, but such posters DO NOT EXIST. Please point them out to me if you know of them.
The answer is in the middle. Property is not overpriced now, and it is not underpriced. The market always gets it right, give or take a few percent. Property is an integral part of a balanced investment portfolio that should target the achievement of capital growth of maybe 1% above the inflation rate over a long period, by which I mean decades.
If you think that sounds like I am an extremist claiming a property boom then I can't help you.
The special type of economics where littlelandlords bid up house prices to ridiculous levels, where nett returns before tax are less than half bank interest and while unemployment is rising, productivity and hours worked is falling is called "Boganomics".
The idea that market price is always right is a form of mass delusion suffered by the proponents of Boganomics. They claim bubbles don't exist and therefore they cannot burst and suffer extreme insecurity if anyone suggest otherwise.
The market will remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
much of the commentary about an over priced property market stems from the comparison with US and Euro property markets that were devestated by the irresponsible lending and the CDO issues... we didn't have that in Aus as a result comparatively Aus property look expensive, but frankly it looks about right to me...
cue the naysayers...
Yes that's what Ben Bernanke said in 2007.
Added to FMG shorts $5.40.
Keep piling those shorts on and get ready to cover when FMG goes higher. This is the start of a new bull. Shorters caused me great pain in 2008. Can't wait for payback
Is your name Eddie Groves? He blamed shorters too but the shorters were correct. The books were cooked and childcare cannot make money.
I think the sellers have abandoned the market.
What has changed in the last week? China on hols; data out of Europe poor; Japan in a mess; USA slow recovery; A$ up. Appears mkts celebrating what didnt happen rather than what did. Aust ASX shoots up. In partic FMG carrying large debt; looses access to infrastructure; JV falls thru;infrastructure sale pause yet up nearly 10% this week. Broker Spruikers telling av punter get in or they will miss the fun have a bit to answer for. Remember mkts dont go up in a straight line. By the way I am long in this mkt but taking profits.
The asx 200 chart looks vertical!
Other world markets setting post GFC highs, and the ASX wants in on the party. Will we reach the elusive 6200 plus ?
It's just another suckers rally and as mums and dads re enter the shorters will have a field day. Enjoy!
Seems to be a rally on the back of a short term upturn in consumer confidence... will be interesting to see if it continues... There's plenty of cash coming into equities right now though with no end in sight... not an ideal time for short selling
xjo 10pip vertical move ....
As the Quo would likely sing: "Up, up, prices are up ...."
Yikes what will that do to house prices?
FHB's have left the market, higher proportion of established house turning over indicating a flat market. Building company write downs and collapses, record low credit groth say otherwise. Market clearly topped in 2010.
RIO is up 4% from yesterdays open. Nobody would have had an early glimpse of the reports would they?
Hmm. Big buyer in HarveyN HVN at $2.28. 448,000 in one go. Wonder if someone knows something?
prob just more short covering following the JBH result
Well, Gordon, don't pass this on, but a silhouetted man in a smoke filled room told me last night that the economic cycle is turning, that the 20% rise in the stock market has put hundreds of billions of wealth back into personal balance sheets, consumer confidence figues released yesterday were up strongly back into positive territory, and institutions are switching from defensives into cyclical plays like Harvey Norman selling at near cyclical low points.
Which defensives are they switching from? They are all rallying like basterds.
LOL Harvey Norman, is that what you're pinning you hops on? Have a look at the 10 year chart. That little blip at the end is the current rally. Short from $5, closed at $1.90. Retail is toast.
Poor Allan, so desperate to score a point, although I can understand. I didn't say I bought HVN, let alone have "pinned my hopes on it". Another party asked why there might be a buy order on HVN and I offered an explanation. Nothing to do with you.
Allan, my eyes are on everything, including HVN and PBG. Every article, every movement, every word, and every quip. My observation of 448,000 sold at $2.28 is telling me someone knows something. We'll see how it plays out by the time 1/2 year results come out on 28/2. BTW, would you short JBH tommorow?
Geoff, it might seem that way when everything is rising, but look at cyclicals like SevenWest and Harvey Norman compared with TLS and even CBA since the beginning of last month.
No I'm pretty sure you're long from much higher and that's why you're so angry.
Roy Morgan Research puts the unemployment and under employment rate at 19.7%.
Yikes what will that do to house prices?
I agree. The true picture is well hidden.
Hay Caramba! 19.7% unemployment, under-employment rate? Just read the article/research from Ray Morgan. Is this Spain or Australia? Perhaps the Bull running madly about the market is just the (unemployed) Spanish Bull coming to Australia.
Speaking of Spanish Bulls, now people are relishing the idea of eating Horses, where does that fit in between a Bull and a Bear? Horses for Bourses?
It's so funny watching the doomsayers get excited about meaningless stats. But god knows they've got to console themselves with something.
Unemployment IS WHAT IT IS. It doesn't matter if Fred and Barabra agree on how to measure it. It doesn't matter if niether, one or both of them measure it accurately. It doesn't matter if nobody even bothers to measure it at all. Whatever the rate of unemployment actually is, it is ALREADY reflected in the outcomes.
So Allan's parrot refrain of "what will that do to house prices" can be answered by any five year old as "whatever it would do, it has already done".
But by all means you doomsayers should pat yourselves on the back as if you've split the atom.
In Jan 2007, at the height of the boom, Roy Morgan found 1 in every 12 people were un/under-employed. Yeah, sounds like a really reliable survey!! Seriously, how many 14 year olds are actively looking for full time adult paying work!!?!?
Indeed two grumps down under. Oh dear get a little sunshine. Go out for a coffee together. Take a stroll down to St Kilda. Can you imagine the conversation ? My short on CBA & FMG is not going too good. Mine neither! Glad I wasn't in shorting JBH. Me too! Why won't this property crash start in earnest it is just so frustrating! Too right. You know it's a bummer MYR & CSR had this rebound of course it's only these pesky Polyanna's bidding everything up. They are just s-o-o-o-o-o frustrating ! Did you hear even Blankfein is now talking about the thresh-hold of a new Bull Market. Where are these Dude's coming from? Beats me all I see is years of debt and recession. Oh hi Cran sorry you've missed me just watching and musing myself with the outcome!
FMG shorts $2.20/share last 18 months. What about you? CBA will come good. Did you miss the 30% on LNC?
Retail is toast. Pollyannas bought Myer in the float because they like Jen Hawkins. How much are you down?
$3T of QE and 5 years of Trillion $ deficits and a debt of $16/17 T. Yep a new bull market in the making. ROFLMAO!
Turn it up Optimist. I am not a shorter, in fact i dont approve of it, though i respect Allans trading method if that is what he does best. I go long, what i do best is trade the highly volatile stocks, FMG, ILU, BLY, LNC etc take quick profits and wait for the next dip. I am not blind however to the illogicality of the market and what i believe is the current precariousness. And i also agree with the bearish types, It does not seem to be reflecting the global situation at all, but hey that's fine with me its how i make money. Cheers.
love your work & sense of humour!!!
Calm down Allan, you're going to burst a gasket. Interesting that you call other people insecure, yet feel the need to repeatedly tell an anonymous bunch of people that you had a successful trade. Well done if you did. I have had a wonderful accretion to my wealth lately, but my ego does not lead me to the misguided belief that anyone else would be remotely interested.
There is a difference between one making trades on good fundamentals and others making it on a prayer.
Although both camps are not always right I would respect the former rather than the speculator.
You're right Opto. Why just the other day I spoke to a locksmith who has work coming out of his ears. Doing what I asked? Changing the locks on mortgagee in possession he replied.
LOL! So true! Just once I'd like to see a fact as to why the market is mis-priced other than "It's too expensive" - relative to what? Although I enjoy Allan's daily Google search results on why property is overpriced and about to crash.
"I have had a wonderful accretion to my wealth lately, but my ego does not lead me to the misguided belief that anyone else would be remotely interested."
An excellent contradiction.
A wee bit touchy today another grump and I'm glad that you don't. Now do you think that the shorters have got FXJ ( The owners of this Web site) wrong at least since the October lows? Because I do but time will tell .
Yeah, touche foots meets mouth, maybe I led with my chin. I meant, obviously not explained clearly enough, blow by blow details.
Hi Opto, didnt mean my response to come out looking touchy. I may come over all gloom and doom but it is a reflection of my view on the sense and sensibility of the market. Yeah I agree the shorters have got it wrong for some months now and i expect going long has been the better plan, but its only matter of time before its ":i told you so" hopefully I will have found the right time to bale and will be smiling all the way to the bank with my long cash.
p.s. Rememeber I will be continuing the tipping so all tips by 11:00 tomorrow.
Oh dear if you were scure in your investment strategy you'd still be posting as mvf.
LOL foot meets mouth. Very apt and he does it often. I've got hom so he's frothing at the mouth without even mentioning his name.
"Banks have nothing to build on"
"While much of the attention today will be on the large numbers in Commonwealth Bank's earnings release – a half-year profit of $3.78 billion and a 20 per cent increase in interim dividend – it's a small number that should be worrying shareholders. The subdued housing activity and house prices are making their presence felt in our banking sector, with CommBank only managing a 6 per cent increase in cash profit. For a company with a trailing price/earnings ratio of 15.5, that growth rate is very skinny."
Majority of CBA profit is from inflated mortgages. With mortgage growth at 30 year lows, FHBs on strike and construction collapsing the future is not so bright for the gouging banks and their $10M ceos.
Oh and in response to yesterday's siily post:
Iron ore will fall to $80 then $60. It has already plunged to $80 after I said it would. As new supply comes on stream it will fall again. SWM dropped well below the last issue price as I predicted. BSL is one third its issue price of ten years ago and cannot compete with Chinese steel production.
It's quite hysterical how some need to misquote me to exorcise their own insecurities.
Oh and short position on CBA now is at $65.50. Out of the money at the moment but given the massive gains shorting over the last 18 months inconsequential.
"In conclusion, the data presented should provide more than enough evidence to suggest that Australia's residential property market (specifically land market) is vastly overvalued, driven by debt-financed speculation and the relative non-taxation of land rent. While land bubbles have been a continual feature of the Australian economy, what separates this cycle is the relative enormity of the boom in both land values and private debt. A smaller private debt to GDP ratio during the 1880s and 1920s was enough to produce two devastating depressions, including a number of recessions during the mid-1970s, early 1980s and early 1990s."
I just had a look through yesterday's posts. Oh dear me, such vitriol, ad hominem attacks and displays of insecurity.
Hope the above makes you feel better. ROFLMAO!
This is the same gibberish that you tried to promote a few weeks back when it was produced by Prosper, a socialist if not communist organisation whose stated guiding principal is that society would be better off if the wealth from land was redistributed more evenly. (Whoa, red alert!!!!)
Prosper and Macrobusiness and the likes that you keep breathlessly quoting are nothing more than a bunch of frustrated reds and other disaffected parties who dream of seeing the system collapse.
If someone who dreams of a housing crash for idealogical reasons claims that housing is going to collapse, it might make you feel better Allan, it might even make you ROFLYAO, but it doesn't move the dial for normal people.
The irony of your name.
You're in hock for a lot of money, it's clouding your judgement. Housing may push to even higher hyper ridiculous levels, but it will sure be eventually coming down.
Australia's sold all it's advantages, we earn ten times our competitors. Housing is way, way, way too expensive and time will prove that.
Prosper are Georgist not socialist. Thick.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the
Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Well Ford and his customers prospered from the land that the US government stole from the Indians.
True, true, Catch 22 but i dont remember Henry Ford saying anything about caring for em. He was a business man looking after business - a governement is there with their sole aim the well being of the populace.

Avoid Traffic Woes During I-70 Project
February 24, 2013
Wheeling officials met last week with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, to discuss a range of issues important to local residents....
The DOH needs to find a way to get the "substantial amount of the nations commerce" off of that portion of I70 that is supposed to be bypassed by I470. Probably, that will require slowing down traffic on 70 to the point that interstate travelers find 470 more convenient, hills and all. Two things that might help would be to change the designations, so that 470 becomes part of I70 and visa versa, and prohibiting all truck traffic through the tunnel.

100M$ to repair 15 miles of highway!! Somebody should do their math- Or did they?????
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Here's an idea. Eliminate I-70 from St. Clairsville to Elm Grove. Allow lcoal traffic to still utilize the existing I-70 as a means of access into downtown Wheeling with the terminus being the exit just before the tunnel. Close the tunnel permanently. Tear up the existing highway from the west side of the tunnel to Elm Grove. Sell the property to developers for residential and/or commercial or both. Make all east-west thru traffic travel on the existing I-470. We don't need noisy traffic traveling thru some of our best real estate. Didn't make sense when they built it and makes no sense now.

Last edited by cjizzle; 12-20-2012 at 04:43 PM. Reason: lol...you kids
This could prove to be an interesting thread! It will need close monitoring for sure.
Apparently I have not done my job well enough around here because I can't really remember anything even close to that one nighty.
I used the "advanced" feature and even though it would appear I was editing the thread title, it obviously didn't (the bane of being a regular user, I suspect). Yeah... this could get too hot too quick --- suggest moderation --- even though the idea itself is entertaining enough
Thanks nightstah, it had me a bit worried lol.

Most of the post are going to come from staff or former staff, they should all be self moderated....I hope
Double post warning!!!!
I did get accused of being a stalker by a mod on "another" site one time
oh well, ruined already...

What my depression feels like:
I've struggled with depression at greater or lesser intensity since my teens. The word "depression" suggests sadness, and this is certainly one aspect of the disorder.
And my depression can express itself as irritability and anger, symptoms that I've learned may be more common in men. Particularly when I'm feeling stressed at work, I'll arrive home and it can be (in the words of Kay Redfield Jamison) as if "my nervous system were soaked in kerosene." If my wife is listening to NPR in the kitchen and one of our kids is playing a CD in another room, the overlapping sounds will drive me bananas. Little things can get me steaming—if our daughter has her homework scattered around, or our son knocks over a drink at the table, or my wife asks a question that I take as a criticism. Because I can be very critical of myself, I may project that attitude onto others. So I can be hypersensitive to criticism, and then respond by getting defensive.
How depression affects my family:
Of course, this can make my wife feel like she's walking on eggshells. She wants our home to be a refuge from the pressures of the outside world, a place where we can say whatever is on our minds and where we can accept each other's mistakes. But if our kids have to "leave Dad alone" because I'm in a foul mood, or if I parse my wife's words to come up with some sort of accusation, then our house itself becomes a minefield.
What works for me:
What has helped? As a teenager and young adult, I took long walks, read and wrote poetry, went to foreign movies, and roamed the art museums in Washington, DC. So: exercise and the arts. In high school and college, I benefited from the encouragement and company of some wonderful writing teachers and fellow writing students. A few years after college, while my wife and I were courting, I became interested in her faith and was baptized at the Episcopal church where we wed. I learned about the struggles that others in our church community faced and my own burdens seemed lighter. I explored natural therapies such as meditation and dietary supplements (which helped somewhat, but not as much as I'd hoped). I read self-help books that dealt with anger, depression, and the relationship between the two. And starting about 10 years ago, I benefited from stints in therapy. I'd work with a therapist for a few months, feel pretty good, and think I could handle whatever came my way.
But after a while my dark or angry spells would return, and my family would be suffering again. My wife urged me to try medication. I had long resisted the idea, fearing that I'd feel drugged or become impotent. But five years ago, I felt like I'd run out of alternatives and saw a psychiatrist. Over several months, I tried one drug, then another, and finally settled on the medication I've been using since. Finding a drug that made me feel better, and that my body would tolerate, took patience. I wish I had known about the Depression Wellness Guide available through Families for Depression Awareness to help track my feelings and medication side effects. Today, my moods are more even than before, and I feel more myself now that my mind is less apt to be hijacked by depression. I can still feel down or furious at times, but I'm less likely to get stuck in these moods.
My advice to people (especially men) with depression is to reach out for help and to keep trying until you find what works for you. It may be humbling to ask for help and it may take time to find the right treatment regimen, but the payoff is worth it. If you live with someone whose depression is not adequately treated, keep pointing the way toward help. As the character played by Amy Adams in Junebug says to her troubled husband: "God loves you just the way you are. But He loves you too much to let you stay that way."
Incidentally, the most valuable thing I got from therapy was not a memory I unearthed or a technique I learned, but rather a single look of pure caring from a certain therapist, a look that conveyed a faith in me that I did not feel at the time. In such moments, the parched heart takes in water and prepares, when it's able, to break into bloom.

States are rejecting the controversial painkiller Zohydro
Newscast Media BOSTON—Health regulators in Massachusetts have sent a letter to
doctors outlining their reason for banning the dispensing and prescription of the
controversial painkiller Zohydro.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the drugs, but concerns have been raised
about patients overdosing on the drug due to the narcotic it contains.
"Zohydro is a dangerously addictive pharmaceutical painkiller, approved by the FDA
recently over the objection of their scientific advisory council and is not available in
an abuse-deterrent form," Gov. Patrick said. "Unless it is available in an
abuse-deterrent form, or better, until the secretary of [Health and Human
Services], or the Congress has acted on the requests to overturn the FDA, Zohydro
will not be available in Massachusetts," Gov. Deval Patrick wrote as he issued the
The Associated Press also reported that Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin announced
an emergency order that would make it harder for doctors to prescribe Zohydro.

WWE fans upset
When the latest episode of Monday Night Raw ended, a lot of fans took to social media to complain about the final segment between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Many felt that it was a bit lackluster, especially since it was supposed to increase anticipation for Wrestlemania. It has now been reported that the live audience did not take well to the ending, either. Many of them expressed displeasure with WWE on the way out of the arena.
March 24, 2015
Reigns compared to Rock
During the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, the injured Roman Reigns made a surprising appearance to accept a Slammy award. Fans noted that the usually robotic speaker was a lot more comfortable with his speech. Jim Ross, who has a pretty good track record of spotting and signing talent for WWE, noticed as well. The legendary commentator posted on social media that he felt that Reigns showed some subtle mannerisms that are similar to his cousin The Rock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everyone always has questions about what it's like living on campus at Denison. The following are answers to many of the most frequent questions students have regarding Denison's housing and residential life.
When will I be notified of my housing assignment?Upper class students are housed through a lottery process held in March of the preceding year. First year students are hand paired and then housed. First year student preference forms are due June 1. Many students will request amendments to their preference forms as they learn more about the university during June orientation; therefore, we wait until July 1 to begin the matching process. Letters are sent to students notifying them of their roommate's name, phone number, and mailing address by the first week in August.
Can I have candles in my room?Candles, incense, and open-flame devices are prohibited in all residence halls.
Are the rooms carpeted?With the exception of Stone and Ash Hall, which typically houses seniors, all of our residence hall rooms are carpeted. It is not necessary to furnish a carpet although some will bring throw rugs for decorative purposes.
Can I stay in the halls during break periods throughout the academic year?
The University does offer limited housing during official break periods (Thanksgiving break, semester break and spring break). This privilege is available to international students, to athletes who are required to remain on campus due to their sport's schedule, and to those students who are needed on campus by a faculty member, department or other office for academic or campus employment purposes.
A limited number of halls are kept open during the break periods and students housed in these buildings can stay in their rooms. Students who do not live in these halls will need to find a friend who will allow them to stay in their room. (Locked lounge areas can accommodate those who are unable to secure a room independently.) There is no charge assessed to students who require housing during break periods. Students must complete a break housing request form by the deadline to be considered for housing.
Are there computer labs on campus?Yes! While a number of students bring their own computer, many students take advantage of the computer labs located on campus. There are computer labs located in several academic buildings. In addition, students often use the computer stations located in or near each Service Center on the residential quads.
What if I am having difficulty getting along with my roommate?Adjusting to a new roommate is a process that involves time and effort. First, we encourage you to try to talk with your roommate about any issues or concerns. If this is unsuccessful, then feel free to contact your RA, HR, or Assistant Director for assistance. Room changes are permitted only after all other options have been considered.
Is it possible to come to campus prior to the scheduled arrival time?Only students required to be on campus by the university may return before the scheduled arrival date. We must adhere to this guideline in order to facilitate the completion of scheduled renovation projects, summer housing transition, and final preparation for students' arrival.
When will I receive my housing assignment?Housing assignments will be mailed from the University during the first week in August. The name(s), address(es), and telephone number(s) of your roommate(s) will be included.
What should I bring with me?
Depending upon your needs, the answer to this question may vary. However, below is an itemized list of items that current students suggest you bring:
- Alarm clock
- Answering machine (you must provide your own telephone to use an answering machine)
- Backpack
- Batteries
- Bedding (extra long sheets, blankets, comforters, mattress pad/cover, and pillow)
- Camera
- Can opener
- Comfortable shoes and boots
- Clothing (seasonal items including winter coat and gloves)
- Desk lamp/study light
- Dishes (coffee mugs, drinking glasses, eating utensils, etc.)
- Drying rack
- Electric fan
- Entertainment needs (Books, TV, DVD player, CDs, games, stereo/radio, sports equipment, bicycle, etc.)
- First aid kit
- Flashlight
- Formal and semi-formal attire (for special events)
- Hangers
- Iron
- Laundry supplies and basket
- Lap Desk
- Memo or dry erase board
- Plants
- Posters
- Refrigerators (no more than 4.0 cubic feet)
- Scissors
- Sewing kit
- Stacking crates, storage boxes
- Stamps/stationery
- Study aids/classroom supplies (dictionary, thesaurus, calculator, etc.)
- Surge protector
- Telephone for your room
- Toiletries, (including something to carry items to the showers)
- Tool kit
- Towels and washcloths
- Umbrella and/or rain coat
- Trashcan
Are there laundry facilities in the residence halls?What about ironing boards and irons? Each residence hall has a laundry room for the residents of that specific hall. Washers and dryers are coin operated. In addition, the following laundry rooms also have the ability to operate via swipe card: Beaver, Crawford, Curtis West, Curtis East, Sawyer, Shaw, and Shepardson. Students need to supply their own ironing board and iron if needed.
Can I build a loft in my room?Are there any dorms with unloftable furniture? We have two types of residence hall beds. One kind can be bunked in a traditional fashion or left unbunked by the roommates. The second type, termed "loftable," can be bunked, left as twin beds or can be elevated as high as five feet from the floor. This "lofting" feature allows students the freedom to move a desk and or dresser under the bed. As we replace hall furniture, we are purchasing loftable beds. At this time however, not all beds are loftable. A list of those buildings with loftable furniture is on the Campus and Residential Life web site. Students can build their own lofts if they so choose.
How are the residence halls cleaned and maintained?Housekeeping services are not provided for student rooms, suites, private baths, or suite baths. Students are responsible for cleaning and maintaining these areas. All public areas and public bathrooms are serviced Monday-Friday, with limited cleaning services provided on weekends. Students are responsible for emptying their room trash in the dumpsters adjacent to their residence hall.
What is the size of the mattresses in the Residence halls? Is bedding supplied?Mattresses in the residence halls are 36 x 79.5. These are longer than standard sized mattresses. Extra long single bed sheets can be obtained in most department stores. Students are responsible for supplying their own bedding, including pillows.
Am I automatically assigned a meal plan?All students are required to participate in a meal plan except those students who reside in certain residence halls that have apartments with kitchens. You may choose one of three different meal plan options. A student may change her/his meal plan option during the first two weeks of each semester. Check out Dining Services for more information on meal plans!
What types of measures are taken to protect my safety? How safe are the residence halls?
All of the residence halls are locked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students are able to access their own residence hall at all times. They are able to access other residence halls from 8 a.m. through 1 a.m. daily. After 1 a.m., the access doors will not permit entry to non-residents of the buildings. It is very important that students not allow persons whom they do not know to enter the residence halls. There is an entry phone located outside each residence hall. Guests can call residents to let them into the buildings.
Students are responsible for ensuring that their room doors are kept locked at all times. It is important for roommates to discuss the importance of keeping their possessions safe by keeping the doors locked.
The Office of Campus Safety and Security has "safe walkers". These are student employees of the University who are willing to provide a walking escort to any student at night. Simply call the operator to request a safe walk escort.
Can I have a pet?To preserve student health and safety, animals are prohibited in all college residences with the sole exception of fish in bowls or tanks that do not exceed 10 gallons.
Does the college provide personal property insurance?The University does not cover personal belongings. Students can obtain renter's insurance from many different insurance agents or some homeowner's insurance may cover items in the student's room.
Are there refrigerators in the rooms?Refrigerators are not provided in the rooms. Many students choose to buy their own refrigerators (the University does not sponsor any sort of rental service). If you choose to buy a refrigerator, please be sure it's no larger than 4.0 cubic feet. Often, this is an area where roommates might decide that one will bring a refrigerator while the other brings something else that could be used by both.
How can I report maintenance concerns?The best way to report a maintenance concern is to e-mail email@example.com. Another option is to call the Physical Plant office by dialing extension 6265. It is important that students are as detailed as possible when reporting maintenance issues. Critical items to include are: the location, specific problem, and a contact number and name.
Can I get a room change?Room changes can be accommodated following specific housing guidelines after the first two weeks of each semester. Room changes are based upon availability.
As a first year student, can I choose my own roommate?Students can make special requests, including residence hall, roommate, and specific room. We make every attempt to honor requests. It is important that students talk with one another prior to indicating a preference to be together. We are not able to honor requests when there are discrepancies in the housing preference form (e.g.: one student requests alcohol free, the other doesn't). Roommate requests cannot be honored unless both roommates make the request. Space is limited in some buildings. We cannot honor all building requests.
Are there single-gender residence halls on campus?There are two single gender residence halls on campus. Beaver Hall houses women and Sawyer Hall houses men.
Can I get a single room?There are roughly one hundred single occupancy bed spaces on the Denison campus. There are very few singles in areas in which first year students are housed. Students hoping to obtain single rooms should indicate this desire on their housing preference form.
Can I smoke in my room?No, all residence halls are smoke-free.
What is an RA?Resident Assistants (RAs) are students who have been employed by the Office of Campus and Residential Life to work with students on the residence hall floors. RAs fulfill a variety of roles. They are charged with: 1) helping students to form strong communities on the floors; 2) acting as a resource to students with personal and/or academically related problems; 3) educating students through appropriate challenges as well as support of current values and beliefs; and 4) positively shaping community behavior.
Is summer housing available?Summer housing is available for a nominal fee to students who are researching with faculty members or working for the University during the summer. The process for summer housing is completed during the spring semester (March). Space is limited and not guaranteed to those requesting housing after the summer application deadline.
What about telephones and long distance access?
The University provides dial tone, at no charge, to one phone jack per residence hall room. Using their own analog phone, residents can place outgoing on-campus, local, 911 and toll-free calls. Students desiring to use the provided dial tone must furnish their own analog phone and line cord to connect to the University-provided telephone jack. Neither caller ID nor voice mail is available.
Long distance calling is available through the use of a prepaid calling card or credit card. Only those cards providing a toll-free access number will connect through the University's telephone system. While students may bring their own prepaid calling cards, these cards are also available from local retailers. During August Orientation, students will have the opportunity to sign up for a calling card. There is no charge for incoming long distance calls, as long as the student does not accept a collect call. Most collect calls are blocked from passing through our switch; however, if one is received and the student elects to accept the collect call, the student is responsible for any and all charges for the call.
Entrance and/or hall phones are available for emergency help, if needed. Any additional questions regarding telephone service can be directed to Telephone Services at 740-587-6454.
Is there access to an airport or bus station?
There is a Greyhound bus station in downtown Columbus (approximately 30 miles). Port Columbus International Airport is located on the east side of Columbus (approximately 25-30 minutes travel time). While there is no official University shuttle service available, students most frequently carpool, share a taxicab, or use Columbus Transportation (1-800-476-3004).
The Student Activities Office will offer limited Denison van shuttle service to and from the airport (CMH) during the Thanksgiving, Winter Holiday and Spring Break. Advance registration for these shuttles is required, a list of shuttle times is available in the Student Activities Office.

Sonic the Hedgehog, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Mortality
The music in the Marble Ruins zone
Gambling on picking up a ring and dying
Should I blame modern gaming for my new found ineptitude regarding this game?
I am a new member in this forum, and this will be my first post, so please, give me a chance if this comes across as the ravings of a madman.
Anyway! A little bit of background. Recently, through a series of mishaps (and a touch of incompetence), I am without an Xbox 360. In fact this is a saga that has lasted a whole year. 2011 really was a dark year. First of all my 360 got the disc drive error and not the red ring of death, so instead I tried to fix it myself. That didn't work out, nor did my second hand Xboxes off eBay. Finally, I got one that worked and then 3 months later...Red Ring of Death and I find it is out of warranty. I am broke and I simply cannot continue down this dark path.
So, in my time of need, I gathered my Playstation 2 materials, which were tucked safely in my wardrobe. Good old trusty Playstation 2. Now in addition to some games I owned that I hadn't got around to playing yet (I may write about those later), I decided to buy some more, and lo and behold! I found the Sonic Mega Collection for a pound (I'm British)! I snapped it up; I had only good memories of those games, and it wouldn't even be the first time I had dipped my toe into the waters of nostalgia with Sonic. In fact I've gone back to these games several different times in my life, for example I had the same collection for the Saturn. So I had no worries about whether I would enjoy playing these again or not. I loaded it up, and little did I realise the experience would change me forever...
One of the first things you notice is that, despite its age, it is still a perfectly pretty game. It reminds you that part of the reason the original game was so successful was because of how it looked. And I don't just mean the graphics. Everything seemed designed to charm, to exude cool. This was the age without reams of cut scenes and dialogue to tell a story, all personality would have to be achieved otherwise. I think this is best personified by how Sonic acts when you leave the joypad alone for a while, his expression at you, the player, is priceless. Through such a simple piece of animation everything you need to know about Sonic is expressed. This permeates throughout the rest of the game. The attention to detail is just fantastic, its all just perfectly animated. How about the game play? Well despite its reputation built on the speed of Sonic, I feel the player spends most of his time battling it. Or maybe that is just me. Running across the screen at full pelt is a one way ticket Losealllyourringsville. The more recent and terrible Sonic games have perpetuated this myth, with its press a "direction and watch" game play. Of course I know the idea is to replay the levels, memorize them and find the quickest route to tear through it, but I have just never been able to play it this way.
The ring system is still a marvel in terms of design; I think it was this simple aspect that put the game above all the other nameless platformers for me. It creates quite a lot of tension, namely hording all your rings in the search for the magic hundred for that much needed extra life, and choosing to gamble with your brief invulnerability after losing your rings just to pick up that loose flashing ring that is bouncing away. Then dying as a result of that rather stupid gamble.
Now it is time for my confession. I just hope this doesnt destroy my reputation before I have a chance to make one. Now like I said I had played these games several times before, and at various stages of my life, without ever having trouble with them. The first level went fine obviously. Then I hit the Marble Ruins level. I struggled though the first act, dying several times. Then when I hit the second act I completely hit a wall. I lost all my lives and when I went through my first continue I gave up in frustration. I returned to it several days later, thanks to the modern miracles of saved games. Again I struggled. The rather gorgeous Marble Ruins theme turned into an instrument of torture. I began to doubt myself. I have been playing games since I was 4, and I am now 27. The last time I had played this game was for the Megadrive (Genesis to you guys) when I was 23, and like I said I had no trouble then. So I tried it again a few days later, convincing myself it was just tiredness. Another fail. To be honest I have touched it since. Did I fail because games just hold our hands too much now? Did I fail because platformers are a dying genre, one that I never had much interest in anyway?
Or maybe I was just simply getting older. Being quite neurotic I stuck with this answer, though it was probably a combination of the first two theories. Days of fretting about myself ensued. I looked at myself hard in the mirror. I realised I wasnt the boy I used to be. My hair is thinning a little, I have a bit of a beer belly. Hell, I have hairs on my shoulders. So thank you Sonic the Hedgehog for giving me a premature mid life crisis. I now find myself doing a workout every day in order to cling onto my youth. I also find myself trying to write for a website I greatly admire, so I suppose I should thank Sega and Sonic for this insight. I have to thank those Japanese guys for making me realise that I will die someday. So I wish I could talk more about the game, the always entertaining end of level bosses, the rest of the impressive soundtrack and the always interesting level design, but alas I cannot, I would simply be doing this from memory, and that just wouldnt be fair. I cannot even give the game a score. I just hope you can all forgive me. If you like this I promise to write a proper review for my next game.
Thanks guys,

Have I paid the price for not writing a serious review or was it simply a case of forgetting to write a "please rate my review" part in the title. Whichever, I would still like some feedback, any feedback, please.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Mortality
I felt like this wasn't so much a review as it was a rambling blog post to be honest.
There are good reviews that don't "look" like a review - See for instance Rock Paper Shotgun's impressions on Syndicate's single player - but this felt like it was just a stream-of-consciousness article.
That's not to say what you've written is *BAD*, but it certainly could do with a lot more tightening up in terms of word length and grammatical usage to get your points across.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Mortality
Hello Payne,
I tend to agree with Jaradcel on their take for your post in that more work is needed.
Just a couple of thoughts to add.
I do like the concept of looking at a review from a different angle, but I find your piece more "confessional" in nature without an overall argument in mind. You may want to give a little more time to think about what you wanted to get across in your article, because currently the writing feels like an early draft as you are grappling for meaning. Without a destination in mind your review lacks a centerpiece to hold it together and it lacks focus.
Instead of a review had you considered rewriting this as a standalone article about how gaming has affected your life? It is apparent that Sonic has somehow reminded you that all things will end and fade away....whether it be our individual lives, or indeed the technology we choose to fill it with in the case of the rather unreliable 360 (of which I have got through two models so far myself). Or perhaps you are attempting to understand how playing Sonic has caused you to have certain epiphanies at different phases of your life?
I can't comment on the game content you touch on because the Sonic games have never held much interest for me. I played the first one a few times in the early 90's and remember little but the rush of the speed and the sight of rings flying off me as I made contact with something I shouldn't have!
All the best, and good luck with your writing.

ok, i hope i will not get stoned for this one but it really is important to me...
I'm currently running two Zimbra OSS Installations, one private for me, my gf and another friend and one in my company with 7 Users.
I work in IT Support and maintain 23 Networks with 5-35 Users, mostly Windows. As you might imagine MS SBS is a constant companion of mine, and tbh i don't really like it.
It's easy to setup but every extended feature like email archiving, basic av, anti-spam, backup etc is always a pita and/or associated with additional investments, which is always kinda hard in small companies since they always pay more $/user.
There is a big void in that market that is currently waiting to be filled.
So i would like to encourage you to embrace this group of customers and investigate the idea of creating a smb product, e.g. team up with the folks from ebox and look into creating a single - integrated - product that gives me messaging, file and print services, vpn, content filtering and centralised user managment. That's about it.
Noone in these companies cares about sharepoint etc, you can easily let that pass. Currently it is just to much hassle to integrate these solutions manually in order to be cost effective.
AND start licensing with 5 Users, as it currently is, zimbra smallest option is damn useless to me, to many unused licenses and not active sync.
I really like zimbra, i would not have used it as my private groupware solution if i wasn't really a fan of the concept, but as it is now, it's practically impossible for me to recommend it to my clients.
On another note i have a private issue with zimbra
Please make it possible to get a _fully_ functional version for private use free of charge:
I really would like to have active sync enabled for zimbra for my private use. Is it in some way possible to create a Private Version of Zimbra that includes Active Sync and is limited to e.g. 3 Users?
Limit it to private use, make the license expire every 6 month, but as many hurdles in it as you want, but please do it

State lawmakers want to protect pregnant women in the work place.
Federal law already protects pregnant workers from on the job discrimination, but state lawmakers think Florida needs its own law.
State Senator Geraldine Thompson has filed a bill to officially ban discrimination against pregnant workers and give investigators more time to review a discrimination case.
"Currently they have a requirement that they complete and close a case in 180 days. This bill would extend the time to resolution to 240 days," said Thompson.
At the news conference at the state capitol Tuesday, there was a woman who claims she was fired after getting pregnant. She says if Florida had a state law against pregnancy discrimination she would have better grounds to challenge her dismissal.

Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.
An Ocala man struck by a car on State Road 200 Monday night remained hospitalized in critical condition on Tuesday.
At about 8:24 p.m., Stephen R. Cole, 48, was walking south, crossing the highway, just east of the intersection at Steeplechase Plaza, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Hector Colon reported that a 2012 Toyota Camry, driven by Dorothy B. Armstrong, 81, of Ocala, was eastbound on SR 200 in the inside lane, going through the intersection under a green light.
Cole stepped off the grassy median in front of the car. The Camry struck him in the inside lane, according to FHP. Cole rolled off the car and ended up in the center lane.
He was taken by ambulance to Ocala Regional Medical Center. ORMC spokeswoman Suzanne Santangelo said Tuesday that Cole was listed in critical condition.
Armstrong and her 88-year-old passenger, John R. Armstrong, were wearing seat belts and were not injured in the crash.

Hello Jesse, Thank you for your inquiry! The Seasoft Seawolf Diving Weight Harness comes standard with Non-Integrated Weight Integrated System - 30+ lb capacity (Diver releasable). http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-154/044064/Seasoft-Seawolf-Diving-Weight-Harness.html The Orange Mesh Ditch Pockets are optional and be purchased separately. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-5/004223/Seasoft-Mesh-Ditch-Weight-Pocket-Pair.html If you would like to place an order or have questions about our products, please contact one of our certified Dive Instructors at SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: email@example.com
Quick Overview
The SEASOFT SEAWOLF™ Weight Harness is designed for divers who need a large amount of weight to attain neutral buoyancy OR who have problems wearing a conventional weight belt.
The SEASOFT SEAWOLF™ Weight Harness is completely adjustable. It can be lengthened, shortened, and the weight pockets can be moved and positioned forward and backward on the 2' webbing waist belt.
Add a set of SEASOFT Trim Pockets for additional non-ditchable weights. Each SEASOFT Trim Pocket holds 5 additional lbs.
The ditchable pockets hold up to 15 lbs. each and up to 4 non-ditchable trim pockets (Part #: 201-004) can be added to attain a harness that will hold up to 50 lbs. of soft weights.
The release mechanism on the ditchable pockets is safe and easy to use. These pockets are virtually impossible to accidentally ditch. Sand and other debris cannot foul up the release mechanism because its spring is sealed inside a protected casing.
NO one makes a more adjustable, comfortable weight harness, so the SEAWOLF will fit you perfectly. The weight pockets slide along the waist belt which is adjustable and the height is also adjustable both in the front and back.
A heavy-duty stainless steel buckle holds it all together.
Comfort, durability and the perfect fit – if you need a weight harness, this is it!
