Chapter 1
Living with Bipolar Disorder
Is it possible to turn suffering into genuine human achievement? Nancy Rosenfeld now answers yes to this question, but it took her many years of struggling before she arrived at that answer. She was well into adulthood--married, with two grown children and a grandchild--before she truly understood the positive aspects of her illness.
Over the years Nancy often asked herself why life is unfair to people who don't deserve to suffer. In her search for an answer, she was introduced to Rabbi Harold Kushner, whose son Aaron had died from progeria, a condition that produces rapid aging, just two days after his fourteenth birthday. After Aaron's death, Kushner explored this very question in his book When Bad Things Happen to Good People. The rabbi wrote, "God gave me the strength and wisdom to take my personal sorrow and forge it into an instrument of redemption which would help others." In the wake of a personal tragedy, he discovered the resiliency of the human soul. Through strength and courage, Kushner rebuilt his life. Rabbi Kushner became an inspiration to Nancy.
Nobody is promised a life free of pain and disappointment, but our capacity for strength and courage enables us to survive even the greatest of life's tragedies. Although bad things don't happen for a good reason, Rabbi Kushner found meaning in the very experience of them. If life was free of pain and sorrow, we would have no way to measure and test our strength and to explore the outer limits of our capabilities. We live in an imperfect world, but we too are imperfect. Acceptance of our own mortality enhances the meaning of life and, as Kushner reflected, gives each of us the opportunity to be productive and to impact others, so we'll be remembered as having contributed to this world. Knowing that our time is limited gives value to the things we do.
Can those of us who are afflicted with bipolar disorder, a mental illness characterized by alternating periods of manic and depressive behavior, accept our own frailty and imperfections? Are we prepared to meet rejection from others who don't understand our issues? Can we assume responsibility for our disorder without using it as an excuse for our actions? Regardless of the pain dealt us in life, can we focus on the positive and minimize the negative?
Many individuals who have suffered harshly have learned to survive great losses and find new ways of living full and productive lives despite their misfortunes. How does one cope with shame and humiliation, a grave illness, a disabling accident, disfiguring surgery that involves the loss of body parts, or the death of a loved one?
You will discover that it is possible to transform a serious loss or human affliction, such as receiving a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, into a positive and meaningful life experience by understanding and mastering the principles of a positive mental attitude. The human mind is resilient and capable of reversing a negative situation even in the midst of pain and cruelty. By learning how to live again and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles people can emerge stronger and more self-reliant, with new goals and a renewed purpose in life.
Paraplegics, who have lost the use of limbs, often discover the ability to lead fulfilling, productive lives. Others, who have lost their sight or hearing, gain a deeper sense of perception in the aftermath of their loss. Likewise, many who are afflicted with bipolar disorder rise above their illness by adjusting to new lifestyles.
A diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which is also known as manic depression, can leave permanent scars. People with the disorder feel branded or stigmatized. The illness carries a bad connotation; it sounds awful and can be frightening. The mere mention of bipolar, or any mental illness, can adversely affect relationships, summoning as it does visions of the most severe forms of emotional disturbance. At the same time, each individual has a unique personality that influences his or her attitudes and conclusions regarding a given diagnosis, so everyone reacts differently.
A survey conducted by the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), the organization which Jan Fawcett helped found in 1986, concluded that over 1.5 percent of the adult population in the United States (more than 2.5 million people) suffer from manic depression.
Nobody is immune--young or old, rich or poor. People from all walks of life are vulnerable, and bipolar disorder has confronted high-profile individuals in all fields of endeavor. The revelations of these people clearly indicate that financial resources, status, gender, intellect, and even the devotion of friends and family cannot prevent the illness. In their candor they reflect exceptional courage and boldness, and their disclosures are gifts to those who feel they are suffering alone.
Many celebrated individuals have educated us, helping to reduce the stigma surrounding bipolar disorder, and supported those of us who believe we are outcasts feel less so. In addition, they have offered us hope that through openness and compassion we can more easily make sense of a mental illness such as manic depression. In this book, we will meet these people and discover how they have learned to cope with their illnesses--from unipolar depression to bipolar disorder. Here they candidly reveal their stories, specific symptoms, personal concerns, and reactions to being diagnosed with a mental illness.
One example of a powerful personality who suffered from bipolar disorder is Judge Sol Wachtler. Judge Wachtler began his government career in 1963 when he was first elected to the city council of North Hempstead, New York. Wachtler advanced to the New York State Supreme Court in 1968 and in 1972 was elected to the Court of Appeals, New York's highest court. In 1985 Governor Mario Cuomo appointed Wachtler chief judge of the State of New York and the Court of Appeals. In an editorial for the New York Times, Alan Dershowitz wrote, "Sol Wachtler was not a good judge . . . he was a great judge."
Just as Judge Wachtler was on the threshold of becoming governor of New York, a cherished dream, he became instead Sol Wachtler, federal prisoner, assigned to solitary confinement. How did this happen?
The story of Sol Wachtler is one of illicit love and clandestine meetings, compulsive behavior and drug abuse, rejection and deceit, shame and self-reproach, depression with an attempt to self-medicate, and the fear of stigma--of being branded mentally incompetent.
Although it was a reckless act of compulsive behavior that abruptly led to Wachtler's self-destruction and ultimate fall, the root of Sol Wachtler's problem was his bipolar illness. It wasn't until 1992 that Judge Wachtler finally received the correct diagnosis, but by then his unchecked illness had destroyed his professional career and his life.
Though he made a courageous comeback from the abyss into which he had plunged, he dismisses any sentiments regarding the achievement. "I don't feel as if I've reclaimed my life," Wachtler says. "I've got a long way to go, and it will never be the same as before. I will always have deep scars. Take, for example, the times I hear myself talking to my students about 'my' court. But suddenly I realize that it no longer is my court. It was my court for twenty-five years, but that's all gone now."
Five years after his diagnosis, Judge Wachtler went public in a book about his experiences, After the Madness: A Judge's Own Prison Memoir. In it, he maintains his dignity and sense of humor without excusing the actions that resulted in his arrest and conviction. Judge Wachtler's personal story can serve as a deterrent to others, as well as an inspiration.
There is no debating the pathological nature of manic-depressive illness. The disorder can unquestionably destroy lives, not to mention relationships. At the same time, the energy and the creativity that spills forth from this otherwise devastating condition can yield dividends for the afflicted and those who witness their lives.
In 2000, Judge Wachtler flew to Chicago for a personal interview with Nancy, Bernie Golden, and Deborah Bullwinkel.1 At that time, Wachtler was teaching law again, twice a week, at a small college in New York, while also working at a mediation firm, writing his next book, and traveling extensively to lecture about bipolar disorder and his experience. Here is Sol Wachtler's personal account of his fall from grace.
Judge Wachtler was incarcerated in September 1993 for harassing his former mistress. At that time, he was a walking time bomb and was placed in solitary confinement for two weeks under close observation. The second and only other time that Wachtler was confined to solitary was for his own protection, after he was stabbed by another prison inmate. Although Wachtler never condoned his deviant behavior, it is clear that his bipolar disorder and abuse of prescription drugs contributed to his wrongdoing.
"Don't misunderstand," said Wachtler. "Bipolar is not, and should not be, an excuse for criminal conduct. If someone afflicted with the disorder commits a criminal act, that person should be stopped or arrested before more harm is done."
Wachtler's eminent position in the outer world did not earn him special treatment in jail. He was subjected to all the forms of inhumanity prisoners endure, including strip searches. During imprisonment, what he longed for most was privacy and freedom. "This loss was far greater than power or prestige," he said. "Prison was tough. Everything and every day was a constant reminder that I was a prisoner behind bars--the guards, the keys, mail call. At one time I considered suicide but quickly ruled it out as a viable alternative. Suicide takes courage, but I had none."
"It took more courage to live," observed Nancy.
"Perhaps. But I was stuck in the here and now, and with no future image. I saw nothing beyond life in prison. Days were endless, and each seemed like eternity. All thoughts were negative. I worried about what I'd do when I got out and how I'd make a living. I was also a patient in the mental health unit, and the treatment there was deplorable." Wachtler credits Prozac with keeping him going during his thirteen-month incarceration.
After his release, Wachtler had to contend with the public opinion of his actions. "Subtle things happened which were hurtful," he said. "For example, as former chief judge of New York I was invited to attend the presentation of an award to Ruth Ginsburg, a justice of the United States Supreme Court. Before the actual ceremony, recognition was extended to all distinguished former recipients of that award who were in attendance. I listened and waited, but my name was never called. I checked the program, then discovered that it had been omitted from the list."
"As if you never existed," said Deborah.
"Yes. Like a blot in history that was simply erased," he replied. "Around the same time, Mike Wallace invited me to do a segment of 60 Minutes, but I declined."
"Why?" asked Nancy.
"He can be very rough," said Wachtler.
"What about your relationship today with Governor Cuomo?" said Nancy. "I know the two of you had been friends for years, but the friendship disintegrated and you sued him."
In 1991, Judge Sol Wachtler had filed a summons and complaint against Governor Cuomo in Wachtler v. Cuomo. The governor had threatened to cut the newly proposed budget of the state court system, which Wachtler had submitted to the legislature. At that time, Wachtler felt he "could not permit" Cuomo's budget cuts because of the damaging effect he believed they would have on the court system.
"There's been a warming since then," said Wachtler, with a smile. "Just two weeks ago we lunched together, and Mario confided, 'Once you sued me, I knew you were crazy.'"
"How did you view your illness?" inquired Bernie.
"Bizarre," said Wachtler. "But at that time I didn't consider my behavior strange. I thought they [others] were bizarre, not me. 'I'm not talking too fast,' I'd say. 'You're listening too slowly.' Looking back, I don't see how I could have entertained that thought pattern. It's incomprehensible."
In his memoir, Wachtler sums up manic behavior and the unrealistic overconfidence and grandiosity that accompany full-blown mania: "Have a speech to deliver? I don't have to prepare--my head is full of the world's greatest speeches--just give me a platform."2
On the other end of the spectrum, he describes his state of mind at the height of depression as like the inner surface of an abyss. The physical manifestations of his depression included loss of appetite, constant weeping, sleeplessness, and fluttering in his stomach.
Before his diagnosis, he had convinced himself that he was suffering from a brain tumor. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan in 1992, however, revealed not a tumor but a mass of unidentified bright objects (UBOs) in the right parietal region of his brain. The discovery of UBOs, as Kay Jamison reveals in her book, An Unquiet Mind, heralded the scientific conclusion that bipolar disorder is a biological condition involving changes in brain chemistry (see chapter 3).
"It's important for anyone with mental illness to recognize the need for professional guidance before behavior turns antisocial," cautioned Wachtler. "Not to seek help is foolish, stupid, and terribly destructive. My wife, a trained certified social worker, pleaded with me to get counseling." Wachtler eventually did, and Prozac freed him. "Had I accepted my wife's advice earlier, today I'd be governor of New York."
Wachtler resisted psychiatric help because of the stigma society imposes on those who "seek to remedy a defect of the mind." He recalled the lesson of Thomas Eagleton, the former U.S. senator and 1972 vice presidential candidate who was dropped from the ballot after it was leaked that he once received psychiatric treatment.
Psychotherapy helped Wachtler, and he still sees his psychiatrist regularly. "I'm on a maintenance program, but I also self-assess. I measure what I've done and how I've done it. For example, am I speaking too rapidly? I keep a reality checklist." Wachtler takes long walks for physical exercise, which also helps regulate his mood. Only now, looking back on the behavior that resulted in his public disgrace, can Wachtler see how out of control he was.
"I didn't realize the absurdity of my actions toward her [his mistress] until after I started on Prozac. I had low-level depression and mania prior to the relationship, but I was unaware of how ridiculous it was until later. Then I was helped to make sense of why I had sought out the relationship in the first place. I remember my wife's comment once that if ever I had an affair she didn't want to know about it. But then she read about my affair on page 1 of the New York Times."
"Do you worry about depression returning?" asked Bernie.
"Constantly. As soon as I see it happening, I return to the doctor so he can adjust my medication."

My camera won't portray the color accurately, its actually darker than what's in the pic, pretty much a medium-dark tan, I like it, especially contrasted to the black slide.
April 15, 2008, 12:22 AM
Nice looking gun. An XD is pretty high up on my list of pistols to buy. It sucks that the holster it comes with is only a right handed one. Although I have heard the holster isn't that nice.
April 15, 2008, 12:36 AM
Why do they call that color dark earth? That looks pretty light to me.
You're right, it's not that dark, but that's what Springfield calls it....
April 15, 2008, 04:17 AM
Pure marketing!
I mean what guy is going to buy a pistol the color of "happy sunnny beach sand tan"? Call the same color "Dark Earth" and the mall ninjas will line up.
DARK Earth just sounds so much more hardcore doesn't it. Sounds sort of scorched and bloody and science fictiony.
Just realize that it is really the color of happy sunny beach sand.
April 15, 2008, 05:55 AM
Wow! An xd...
April 15, 2008, 08:58 PM
I got the 9mm sub compact love the gun and the 15 round mags but the holster that comes with it is not very good.

A buddy of mine has a black XD in .45. It's a solid little thing that will bring you much joy (as long as you can afford to feed it).

I get a message saying safari cannot open a page because "too many redirects have occurred". These pages open perfectly well in a rival browser. What is wrong with Safari? My platform is iPad� Info: iPad, iOS 5.1.1
Just recently Safari will not allow me to open emails on my AOL page.When I try to open an email I get the message:"Safari cannot open the page.and a note that this may be due to too many redirects when trying to open the email Firefox opens the emails just fine, but I prefer to use Safari.
My browser is giving me trouble, when I try to open a page I get this message..... Safari cannot open page because too many redirects occurred...
I have an app, and I'd like to redirect the users to different pages based on where they are navigating from. If navigating from web clip, do not redirect. If navigating from mobile Safari, redirect to safari.aspx. If navigating from anywhere else, redirect to unavailable.aspx I was able to use [url] to determine if the user was navigating from a web clip, but I'm having trouble determining if the user navigated from mobile Safari on an iPhone or iPod. Here's what I have:
Can I configure ASP.NET custom errors so that it would redirect to other site when error has occurred. Even more, I would like to redirect to different web page every time. Here is my simplified actual case: User opens my pages with query? urlpage=[URL] and I would like to redirect to this page when error occurs. How should I act in this scenario?
In my .net app, I redirect to an error page if an error occurs. It works fine on my local IIS. When I deploy to a web server, IIS7, it redirects to the error page, all fine, but these is text added to the error page "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. " Could this be added via IIS7? It doesnt happen locally - also IIS7.
I'm having a strange issue after upgrading to Leopard. When I try to open certain pages in Safari it instantly gives me the "Safari can?t find the server" message. When I try to open the same page in Firefox at the same time it opens normally. For many pages (like this one) Safari is working fine. My connection seems good and this is happening on reliable sites (currently Safari won't open apple.com).
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me here.For some reason after the JB I'm unable to connect to the internet using the 3G network.I'm able to connect via Edge and via Wifi but unable to connect via 3G.When I open safari I get the following when trying to go to a website: Cannot Open Page,Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet. When I open mail I get the following: Cannot Get Mail,The connection to the server failed.
I want to use routing in my .net application. I need to redirect to another page after login succeds.I set the controller as categories so that i need to redirect to categories page.If i call categories after login page cannot be displayes error occurs. When i gave categoire.aspx page is redirected successfully.The page name is categories.aspx.How can i sort out this .aspx problem.
This morning as I started reading some of my regularly visited sites, I discovered that I was being redirected to a broken myspace link once the page had loaded. It is doing this for a number of sites including:engadget, gizmodo, downloadsquad, etc Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? It is happening with both Safari & Atomic Browser. The redirect occurs once the page has completely loaded, so on some of the sites it can take up to 30 seconds for it to happen. It is driving me batty!!!
i get an error message when trying to download apps from the app store.� "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid" Info: iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
I've been using the Ipad2 and everything was working fine until today. I tried reseting etc....� When I check my email I get "Cannot get mail the mail server "mail.bigpond.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings"�In the safari I get: Cannot open page Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server.� My Ipad is fairly new and everything is working perfectly only today I get this problem, my wifi is connected and I get a strong signal strenght.� Info: iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
I'm on OS 10.5.8. I just updated safari and java. Now when I open safari, I cannot get a browser window to even open. Not by trying to open a new window or going into my history and opening the Apple page. This is really frustrating since I hate Firefox (Way slower than safari has ever been for me) and now I can't even use Safari.
I have access to a "Free Wi-Fi" network where I work.I seem to connect with the antenna indicator showing enough strength, but when I try to use Safari I get a "Cannot Open Page. Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." How do I connect? Under "Settings" I've tried resetting Network Settings, but still the same. This also happens with my iPod Touch. Information: Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.6.4)
I am connected to my Wi-Fi, but when I go to Safari or iTunes I get the message "Cannot open page - Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet".
I'm using Response.Redirect to open a new page and I have to pass parameters to this page. However, I need the page to open in a new window. From what I've read you cannot do this with Response.Redirect. Is that correct. If so, is there a way to pass the parameters and still open the page in a new window? [Code]....
When I have multiple webpages open in Safari the iPad frequently reloads a page when switching back and forth. If one of the pages has an open data field when this reload occurs any information I've entered is lost.1 - Is there a way to prevent the program from automatically reloading when I switch from one webpage to another?2 - If there is no way now, may I anticipate any changes in the future?3 - If a change is possible will it be a change in the Safari program, or the iPad itself?
For reasons I cannot understand, Safari 5.1.5 on Lion has begun to fail at start-up. On every occasion I try to start I get a page that says "Safari Quit Unexpectedly." The Problem Report suggests Restarting, but the same thing occurs. Should I uninstall Safari and reinstall from an Apple download? Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2), Networked to 2 Win7 units.
I've�been having alot of trouble lately with my ipad and receiving the following error message from Safari "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet." The is quite bothersome and would like to know how to resolve this problem. It only started during the lst coulple of dayfs. Prior to this, my ipad was functiontioning beautifully and i didn't experience any problems. � Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5
I am having an issue with my Ipad were it will not connect to the internet. I am getting the error message "Cannot Open Page--Safari could not open the page because it could not connect to the server".� This is a new problem that started 2 days ago.I have all bars on 3G and 4G.
My cousin just bought a Apple iPad and he brought it over, but we're having trouble connecting it to my wi-fi internet. Our laptops, and my iPod Touch, are all connected just fine. It says it is connected, and shows three gray signal bars in the upper left corner, but if I try to open any page I get, "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet."
Whats up guys. So yesterday I was just surfing the web and noticed I couldn't watch ANY kind of online video. Vimeo, YouTube, Hulu, Streetfire...nothing. Just a blank black window where the video usually just pops up and starts to play. I thought it was a flash problem, so I went to the Flash website to download a new version...the Flash website will not load. It says "Too many redirects occurred trying to open "http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/�. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page." So, I am stumped...the only other issue I thought it might have been was that I downloaded "FlipForMac" to watch windows media files on Quicktime. So, I deleted that utility, and nothing changed. Information: MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.4)
everything else works. when trying to open the webpage, this error message comes up: Safari can't open the page [URL] because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again. tried to open [URL] with no success. Information: MacBook Pro 15.4", 2.53 core 2 duo Mac OS X (10.6.4) safari 5.0.1
I Receive my emails through gmail on my Ipad2. The last two days I cannot open my gmail, I either get a message that there were too many redirects and safari cannot open it, or I see a box with my email address to confirm , and when I do it just keeps coming back. Info: Windows 7
Suddenly when I click Safari my maps opens automatically instead and I cannot view pages or log to Internet - no browser. It's like when I click on Safari icon the OS prompts Maps to open. I've restarted iPad, cleared cache, history, and cookies and it doesnt work. I had a few pages open that I would have a hard time retrieving so I would prefer avoiding resetting all settings.
I am on a macbook pro, osx 10.9.2, safari 7.0.3. When I try opening google, yahoo, facebook and etc, it keeps coming back with "safari cannot open pages because the sever where this pages located is not responding.". But i can open it with Google Chrome that installed in the same macbook. Also the it doesn't allow iphoto to login facebook but it works fine with flickr. Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
When using some national sites I click on discussion link. Safari then notes there are "Too many Redirects and cannot open link" Info: iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.3), Using Safari 5.1.5, Snow Leopard
I have a site built with PHP that does a redirect after certain actions are performed.[URL].I then show a message based on the value of the query string value. In safari (and only in Safari) after the redirect, you will only see a blank page. I have tried using absolute URL and relative URL in my redirect, neither work. I was unable to find a solution by searching the web so I hope someone here is familiar with this.
When I access web pages through Safari on my iPad 3, it shows the message �Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found� randomly. What should I do to close this issue forever?
I have a Menu with various Web Pages, as I click to nagivate from one Page to a nother, at random but not often, when I click on to open a Page it took me back to my Login page where user must enter the Name and Password again it then open the page else it doesn't do anything and stay on the login screen. This doesn't occur on my local development test. On my Pages' Page_Load event I have this code If Not Me.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then Response.Redirect("~/Login.aspx") End If
I hate the way that Safari always opens to the last page that I had open. Before I close Safari, I usually open a new page, go page to the old page and close then close it. This way, the next time I open Safari, I am greeted with a blank page. Most of the time, I open Safari to Google something. So, like on my home computer, I would like Safari to open Google as the default. I have not found a way to set a Home Page on the iPhone. Can this be done? Or should I create a Google Bookmark on my home screen and put it in the dock instead of the Safari icon and launch Safari that way?
i have developed a production site in godaddy server.Now i want to display a custom error page if there is any error occurs in the site.i have made following changes in the web.config file , <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/Areas/User/Views/Shared/Error"> <error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" /> <error statusCode="404" redirect="/Areas/User/Views/Shared/Error" /> </customErrors> But now if error occurs the server will display his default error page for 404 page.Now i want to display my customised error page.Please tell me the entire steps to implement this in asp.net mvc 2.0.i,e is there any coding i have to write in then controllers or in the global.asax.
I noticed that there is a problem with e-banking and the newly updated Safari. I can get into my face page but I cannot open the e-checking portion of the bank's e-bank page. The bank told me that they have had many problems with Safari since the update. I opened up FireFox and everything works OK. Is the general concensus, from what I have read, the problem is JAVA? I have resetted and thrown away the cookies persuant to by bank.
I have an HTML form that submits an email with PHP, and when it submits, it redirects to that PHP page. Is there a way to prevent this redirect from happening? I built an animation with jQuery that I want to occur instead of redirecting. I tried return false;, but it wouldn't work. Here's my function: Here's the opening form tag: And the submit button:
I've been having a problem with my iPad 2 (iOS 7.1) recently. Safari now cant load some websites it used to be able to, even some of Apple's, and a message appears saying that :"Safari cannot open the page bc the server cannot be found", and it only happens to some, not all pages. At first, I thought it was my ISP or the page's server itself, but when I tried it out on my Mac's Safari and other devices, everything works fine, so it's gotta be something with my iPad. In addition to this, some of my apps that require an internet connection havent worked ever since, & I think its also the same problem with the wifi connection. I use wifi only Info: iPad 2, iOS 7.1
I'm trying to learn htaccess, but I'm having issues wrapping my head around this. I need to learn by example. Have several types of 301 permanent redirects that are needed. Want to redirect a single page to a new page OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it (preferably without naming EACH page), to a new folder's index OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a subdomain to the primary domain OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Want to redirect a folder, AND any pages in it, to a new subdomain OLD - [url] NEW - [url] Using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 on 2003/IIS6, which uses htaccess commands. Could anybody here show me what they would do in these scenarios? I've read and read, and tried and tried, but it never seems to work out correctly. It either fails to redirect, or it redirects too much (some "open" type commands with a lot of variables will pick up the keyword -- for example, "students" -- so students.domain.com AND domain.com/students AND domain.com/program/students.html would all redirect, even though I only wanted the subdomain version, or the page version, to redirect, and not the others!).

I have a love/hate relationship with Safari right now. I love the actual browser, I hate the fact it won't allow me to download a thing. I'm not talking about downloading from illegal sites or going through any page redirects, I cannot download a thing at all. My page goes to a blackish screen and stops or it just stalls, flashes once and nothing happens. Here's what I've checked for: 1). No, I don't have Speed Download installed or a plug-in/filter for it. 2). I don't have a com.apple.safari.plist file or even a safari folder in Application Support. 3). I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1 currently. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled Safari with no luck.�What the heck is going on with Safari??? Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 3.06 MHz, 24", 4GB RAM
I am running MAC OSX 10.6.3 and are having the following issues About a Week ago I noticed I was having issues on certain web pages with opening links within the page. Example: A webpage im having a lot of errors on is Gunbroker.com If I click "add to my watch list" safari just sits there and does not open the page. Same for Firefox. Other links on the page work fine. I tried this site and others on my other macbook and it works just fine. Random links within webpages seem not to work. I have tried to reset safari, clear caches, verify permissions and fix errors on Disk Utility still no fix. I also reinstalled firefox just not safari because of my favorites. Any Ideas? If this has already been discussed please let me know I will try to find a thread. I did do a search but could not really find much pertaining to this issue.

I have been having problems with both Safari and Mail since the last Safari update. First, various web pages were opening up with lots of weird symbols in the text areas, and Safari kept quitting. I reset Safari and cleared cookies and that seemed to help. Then Mail started to quit too. I have repaired permissions. I can't figure out how to copy the error log from the Mail crash. Information: MacBook Mac OS X (10.5.8) Mail 3.6
I bought a new MacBook Pro 15'' two weeks ago, and right from the beginning I've been having problems with my Safari browser - the screen scrambles unexpectedly. The scrambling occurs only in one tab but after it starts it can also happen in other tabs but not necessarily. Closing the Safari and opening it again doesn't always help and if I repeat the same action (for example going to my "Draft" folder in gmail) it happens again.
I have an iPad 3 and I'm trying to figure out how to get Safari to open an mms:// link. It's basically for an online radio streaming site that in Windows will open up Windows Media Player to stream the audio. I know iPad obviously doesn't have WMP, but does this mean there is no equivalent of WMP on iPad 3 that can play the stream? At the moment, when I try to open the streaming link (mms://......) in Safari, it tells me that it "Cannot Open Page - Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid".
Lately I'm having trouble downloading pdf files that are open in the Safari window. I'm using the latest versions of Safari Adobe Reader on an IMac OSX 10.6.8.

I'm using response.redirect to open a page and window.open to open page in new window. However, when I used window.open browser would block the page to be opened and my current page would post back also.Thus, there are any method others that response.redirect and window.open can open a page in new window? I don't want the page to be blocked by browser and page should not post back as well.
I installed the software updates pushed to me the week of May 7, 2012 (installed them May 12th) and now cannot open certain web pages (examples www.cnn.com and www.ancestry.com) but am able to open others (ex. www.harrynorman.com). I installed an update to safari, one for security and another I cannot recall. Rebooted (twice) and still having the same problem. I have a Macbook running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7.

I've just gotten myself an iPad 64GB Wifi. I can connect to my wifi connection at home and at work but I still get this message: "Cannot Open Page: Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet".My iPhone 3G and computer can connect to these networks just fine. I've tried all the fixes that Apple suggests including changing to a B or G network only, changing the encryption, changing the SSID, updating to the latest router firmware, resetting the network settings on the iPad.
Whenever I try to open a web page through my iPad 3, Safari keeps saying �Cannot open page as server cannot be found or internet not connected�. How can I resolve this error?
So in my php authentication library, if someone is not logged in, they are redirected to the home page: redirect('home/index'); The problem is that I have some modal windows that load content through ajax. If a user somehow is logged out (but still on a page where they're "logged in") then the modal shows the login page since the modal was "redirected" to the home page. This problem can occur if the user hasn't done anything for a long time (and is logged out), or if they have multiple tabs open and sign out on one of them but on the other try to open a modal popup. Is there a way to redirect the whole window?
I have looked for awhile and cannot find an answer that fits my needs. I have a page that pops a window (window.open), logs the user in (creates a cookie, set session) then redirects to another page. While the modal is redirecting, I would like to refresh the parent page, so all the good stuff that I just did will be recognized by the parent. I have tried window.opener and stuff like that.
I was cruzing along just fine and went out tonight only to receive the message above:�Cannot open Page Safari cannot open the page..The error was: "There was a problem communicating with the web proxy server (HTTP)."�I have had all the Apple iPhone phone.All systems are GO as soon as I log on to wifi. Info: iPhone 4, Windows Vista
I have created a custom error page to redirect whenever any error occurs. I made the following changes to the web.config file <customErrors mode="On"> <error statusCode="403" redirect="~/Error.aspx" /> <error statusCode="404" redirect="~/Error.aspx" /> </customErrors> Suppose my url is in the following way: http://MyTestSite/Posts/Post1.aspx If I remove the .aspx at the end manually then it is not displaying my customm error page instead it is dispalying default 404 error page : Page cannot be found. Also, if I give http://MyTestSite/Posts the same 404 error message is displaying. Even the Application_Error event in global.aspx is unable to handle this error. How can I redirect these type of cases to my custom error Page? Do I need to make any changes in IIS default errors or can I able to acheive only using web.config?
Today I have upgraded to Snow Leopard. Previously I have used 10.5.6 (Leopard).

This problem occurs in all browsers except firefox. In my website, for ex, the home page will be like this [URL]. After finsihed authentication, I will redirect the page using header function in php to user's prfoile. So after logged in my page wil be like[URL}.. If the user clicked back button, I will check the session in signin.php and again redirect to user's profile page. It works fine for me in firefox. Other than that all browsers, If I used header redirection, it will not store the page in browser's history. I mean, I am redirecting the user after authentication in signin page. So the signin.php url not stored in browser history. So If I use back button, it will go to previous site what I opened before opening my site.
I cannot edit content of html files. I open these files I created in Netscape (then Firefox) in safari and cannot figure out how to open these files so that I can edit the content. I have the TextMood application installed in my Safari. Info: safari, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I just updated my Mac os x to 10.5.8 version after iTunes told me to do it. My surprise is that now i cannot open safari's windows.

Anyone having problems accessing gmail in Safari today? When I try to access the sign-in page, it tells me that "Safari can't open the page [URL] because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I am clearly connected to the internet. Also, my Mail.app cannot connect to my gmail account and neither can my GPeek widget. However, I have no problem accessing gmail via Firefox. I have noticed this problem a few times over the past 2-3 weeks, but though it was a google issue. Today was the first time I thought of trying to access gmail via Firefox, and it does, which points to Safari. Of course, now that I've finished typing this up, I can access gmail via Safari with no problems.
I've done a decent amount of searching on this issue and I haven't really found anything that addresses this problem... basically, whenever I (using my iPhone/Safari) try to click a link to the App store; I get: Cannot Open Page Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred. I'm actually developing a site right now for an iPhone game; and I was using the link to Shazam as placeholder until we have our app approved. I generated the link using the iTunes App Generator - http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects /MZStoreServices.woa /wa/ itmsLinkMaker - which gave me the code I pasted at the bottom if anyone is interested. This did not work; but I figured the issue was on my side so I started to trouble shoot things. So the first thing I did was search "Shazam" using my iPhone's Safari browser - and the 3rd result is the App Store link: http://www.google.com/search?q=shazam&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a, I've used both my iPhone and the iPhone simulator (part of the SDK) to test this, and I've used different ISPs just in case there was something in between. Same error. So thinking Shazam might also have problems; I tried a few more well known app name searches. Everything is having this problem, it seems. This is my first support discussion post so sorry if it's too rambly or if I'm asking about a well known issue - but I really looked into this one and I'm wondering if it's pandemic or rare. Information: MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.6)
I am having difficulty getting into my university's web portal. When I successfully get to the university's website and then click on the portal link, I get a message back from the iPad saying "Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the website."

Having some sort of a glitch on my Safari 5.0.2. It turns that if i only have a single window open, the tab will not hide but it will remain.

Any nifty terminal commands?
I'm running Panther 10.3.9 and I've made a mistake with Safari. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to install a new version of Safari, even though I hadn't been prompted to do so. Safari wouldn't then open as I cannot run the new version on 10.3.9, but it had deleted my old copy in the process. I tried dragging a version of Safari 1.3.2 across the network from an identical computer running 10.3.9, but Safari would still not open.

In my application, there is only a login page and a report page. When the user enters his login credentials he will be redirected from the login page to the reports page. I am using forms authentication for this purpose. On the reports page I will be displaying various reports (using Telerik reporting) based on user inputs for various fields. Now here is the funnier part; My application works correctly in all browsers (including Safari on windows platform). But when I open it in an Ipad I am getting the below error, "Potentially dangerous request.form value was detected from the client " This error occurs when the forms authentication redirection happens from the login page to the reports page. I tried a variety of solutions like setting ValidateRequest="false" & requestValidationMode="2.0" , but none of them helped. I also tried removing the forms authentication and that also didn't
My Safari and Chrome refuse to load https pages, as for example, on Apple servers as [URL] If I try it using Camino or Firefox, it works, but Safari and Chrome (that is webkit (= safari) based don't. If I just type [URL] on the URL box, Safari and Chrome tell me that the server cannot be reached. The problem is that this https page is used during checkout, so I am not able to finish any order. I have even tried firefox on Ubuntu, inside VirtualBox and it works on the same machine. The problem is just Safari/Chrome. The problem is not just with Apple. The same problem occurs with some other stores and sites using https around the web.

Billy Corgan: 'Smashing Pumpkins will never, ever, ever be an Oldies act'
Frontman chats about Jessica Simpson, M83, Amanda Palmer, Radiohead, Nicki Minaj... and 'Oceania'
As Billy Corgan said in our recent interview, Smashing Pumpkins are never, ever going to be an "Oldies act." This week, it was laid bare that at least 54,000 album buyers know that the rock troupe is still alive and releasing new material, with the latest set "Oceania." Radio continues to serve as a good reminder of the Pumpkins' past.
Those sales put the Pumpkins at the No. 4 slot on the sales chart this week, but not without Corgan going on an all-out media blitz in the weeks leading up to the full-length release. The 13-song set was the result of a new distro deal with EMI, the major label that was also busily re-releasing the Pumpkins' "Gish" and "Siamese Dream," and today announced the reissue of the Pumpkins' 1994 "odds and orphans" album "Pisces Iscariot" (due July 17). The act's lineup was new, too, as was this eclectic album's role: "Oceania" was conceived as an album-in-an-album, in the middle of what Corgan intends to be a 44-song suite, "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope."
Below is an abridged version of our talk, which covered everything from his ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson to his Chicago-based independent professional wrestling company Resistance Pro to his favorite new artists (M83) to why he loves radio. Hey, he even likes Radiohead and is pitching a reality TV show. Billy Corgan is refreshingly game to talk about it all.
I am shocked at the amount of press you've been doing for this album. It's kind of unprecedented. Does it totally exhaust you at this point?
Yeah, it's pretty overwhelming but at the same point, you know, I haven't been in this position for a really long time. It's been 17 years since I put out an album that people liked right away. So for me it's a bit of a weird experience; it's familiar obviously, but at the same time it's like -- it's a bit of a relief because every time I feel like I've been walking in some sort of force that doesn't just kind of want to ride along.
You have an expertise in the span over the last 20 to 25 years of how people buy music versus consuming music. You guys released this streaming in full online a couple weeks out, for instance… what factored into why you ultimately decided to make a new deal with EMI?
I think the key with the EMI part component is that it's a distribution situation. So, you know, I'm not under their thumb creatively, you know, which has always been my problem with the record business, is when somebody runs a sub-agenda on you that is counterintuitive to your business. That took me a long time to figure out because, obviously, on the surface it doesn't make any sense why somebody would invest in an band that sells less records than you, when you're selling more records…
When I was on Warners, they in particular were very weak internationally, and EMI is very strong internationally. And I do have people in the EMI system that I have long term relationships with, somebody I can pick up the phone and get an answer on. And so far we've just been fairly smooth sailing. Pete Katsis, my manager, has been working within the EMI system, with some other artists that he has. So there was a familiarity and, of course, then there's the ability to kind of leverage with the catalog, which, you know, when you're talking about a spot in retail space…
I mean, and I'll give you a perfect example and this is the reality of the world we live in. I'm out in Scotland and I'm in the whatever store, and I walk in and I can't find a single record that I've ever put out in the store. And I mean, we're talking "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," "Siamese Dream," huge selling albums. And no Warner Brothers product. I mean, if I'm 15 years old and I go in the store, The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, Zwan does not exist.
It's kind of unbelievable, how far away we've gotten from that physical experience. Do you kind of mourn its passing, in a way?
No. No, I'm very much a person just deal with the situation that you're in; I'm cool with it, but that's where EMI sort of opens a little bit of a window. You gotta jump through those windows when they're open because it's not like the old days when you can assume, "Oh yeah, in 12 months we'll run a cut-rate program, and put all your titles on 12 months after the initial album comes out because those bands will still be there." It doesn't work that way anymore. [Stores have] moved on probably two weeks after the dang thing.
You can't be too artistic about it, too conceptual about it. You just gotta kind of take it where it is, and work with it 'cause it's free-for-all right now. It is the Wild West in the record business. There comes a point when you're in a fight, you know, you don't apologize as you're wiping the blood off your knuckles.
I was wondering what your feelings were about EMI's reissues of "Gish" and "Siamese Dream" and, you know, the whole timing of that. Was it a good sign for you that everything kinda hit at once?
Yeah. It just kinda lined up that way. I mean, I've been jerking around with EMI for years to try to get this things reissued properly. Previous administrations treated us very poorly in this regard, which was staggering to me when you're talking about the interest in reissuing Platinum albums. I mean, you have to beg – you have to beg somebody to reissue a Platinum album. That's a mind-blowing experience, especially in an industry that is seeing really diminishing record sales. I'm looking left and right at people whose albums are being reissued that sold one-tenth of the records [Smashing Pumpkins] sold. Kind of a mind-blowing concept. But anyway, this administration got that.
Specifically with the rock business, there's always been a shaky relationship to radio, and even with a lot of rock stations, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Triple-A – your records from the '90s are still getting a spin. But now you have this record that you want people to accept it wholecloth. How would you describe your relationship to rock radio and your relationship to pop and rock radio on the whole?
Part of the difficulty, and of course, we started in the late '90s, and I'm taking responsibility for making some interesting musical choices. So I wasn't necessarily trying to make pop records. That said, I did have singles and I did have songs that, I think, that could have worked within the format as they existed, and I saw a shift towards a kind of short-term, "let's get behind this band because they got a catchy cute song about 'dig in for squirrel'" or some sh*t, right? And I talk to these programmers and they'd say, "What do you think? What do you think of this direction?" And I'd say, "You guys are stupid because you're turning away from career artists, right?"
I'm a career artist. I'm still gonna be here in 10 years and you're gonna rue the day that you didn't support me because you're gonna need me, just like the Loop in Chicago needed Led Zeppelin 15 years later. And here we are and those stations still need me. Now the difficulty, as it exists today, is they basically turned into pop stations. It's just straight-out f*cking Robot Pop. There's very truly credible alternative rock stations left in America. So we have an interesting situation, which is they've gone so far of the left on this Robot Rock, that it's hard for them to kind of just jack in and play an integral band like the Smashing Pumpkins, who just have a really good song that's not ProTooled to sh*t, and gimmicky and all that sh*t that all these bands do. And, of course, behind closed doors, radio's scratching their eyes out because their ratings are going down, and they say to me, "What do you think we should do?" And I say what I'm about to say when I meet with some of these people out in Palm Springs, "You've got to build around core artists."
And I'll give a perfect example; okay, Radiohead, not a singles band, one of the biggest bands in the world. If I own an alternative radio station, I don't care if I'm playing tenth of that song in the Radiohead album, I'm playing a Radiohead song. I'm making a Radiohead single; I'm finding one song that just represents our feeling of our station. Part of the reasons Radiohead's successful is because they're themselves and they're not a singles band. Make them a singles band, just like rock radio in the 70's made Pink Floyd a singles band. Find that one song, even if it's 15 minutes long. If your fans like it, play it. Why would you support a band that can't even sell out the f*cking House of Blues, and then not play the song by the band that comes in and does 30,000 people in a field? That's the insanity of the radio business at this point.
So why bother with it, then?
Because I f*cking love radio. I love radio, I do.
Does your love of radio have anything to do with your love of pop music? Because you've written some seriously pop songs on this effort.
Yeah. I'm not anti-Pop. I think Pop has a place in the culture. I mean, I've recently been dating a pop star. I love the moment. I'll hear that Nikki Minaj song and I'll think, "Yeah it's cool, that's cool what they did." I'm not anti-anything as long as it is what it says it is.
The problem with alternative radio is you gotta a bunch of pop bands with full sleeve tattoos and faux-hawks acting like they're alternative bands. Or we call radio up and we go "We want your support," and they go, "Well you gotta play at our backyard barbecue, and what songs you guys gonna play? Because our audience really needs to hear those old songs."
I mean, look, Led Zeppelin: what is the main staple of Rock Radio in America today? Led Zeppelin. But why are they still playing them? Because they're f*cking better than all the other goddamn bands. It's that simple.
I was going to ask you about with your relationship to your old material, especially when it comes to your live show. There's been times when you have been hostile to your audience. You've also been extremely lovely with your live audience. When those requests roll in, as they inevitably do, do you have a complicated relationship with the old material and the old radio hits?
No. No. It's all – for me it's all context. If that audience is there only to see the past, get me off the stage. Get me off the stage. I'm not that guy. I'll never be that guy. Wrong guy. Because you know what? There's plenty of people in my generation willing to get on their knees and do whatever to get you there. If that means they have to play the album from 20 years ago, great. That's not me.
I've drawn pretty much a straight line. I just do what I wanna do, and sometimes it works and many times it doesn't, but I'll just do what I wanna do. At least you can trust in that, you know; I'm not a phony that way. I play games and I do silly stuff and I say silly stuff, but there's always meaning behind it. That's where the professional wrestling comes thing comes in.
We have to break a spell with our audience, to get out of the idea that the band from 2008-on was going to be an oldies act. Smashing Pumpkins will never, ever, ever be an oldies act, and if that means the end of the business or whatever, whoa me, tough sh*t for me.
Are you playing a lot of festivals this summer? Are you planning on any other kind of mini-festivals, you know, like Metallica and Dave Mathews Band have kind of done, where they curate their own like one or two day kind of thing?
I think that if Oceania pans out well, I think we'd be primed for our own kind of run. I think my credibility in the music world easily carries over in to a generation, which is obviously carrying on the alternative mantle well. I would love to put on a festival, and highlight bands that deserve a bigger audience, and give them a context to do and go out and try to kick our ass off the stage every night. I'd love that. I'm being dead serious. I love that aspect.
We thought like that when I was 25. We got a stage where were opening for Guns 'n Roses or whatever. We thought we were gonna kick their ass; and believe me, we learned the hard lesson: it ain't that simple, right? Well, that's how you learn, and we'd love to put some of those young bands that are deserving in that position because they need to learn those lessons too the right way. Because the lack of transitional aspects in the alternative music community – let's call it Pitchfork -- into the mainstream. That bridge has been burnt down, and these bands need to figure out their own way, and I certainly am no genie here. They got to figure out their own way to get into the mainstream.
It worked for Led Zeppelin; it worked for The Beatles; it worked for The Cure. I mean, I don't know anybody who's alternative that doesn't like The Cure. Robert's had amazing, big, hit songs; why did The Cure crossover? Why did Depeche Mode cross over? Why did New Order cross over? Because they're f*cking great. If you're great, you should crossover.
Is that something that you're interested in doing with your own label, adopting new bands? Who kinda turns you on these days, that's new?
I like M83; it's a really good band. I like Best Coast a lot. Those are bands that I sort of get that feeling like, "Okay, they're doing something new; thank God," you know? As far as my own imprint, I thought about it and I think my only interest in having an imprint would be helping artists, which are usually marginalized by the record business, but are really talented; buying sustainable models where they can put out music, find an audience and not have to do anything stupid or embarrassing to sustain themselves.
Like, I'm friends with an artist Sierra Swan out of Los Angeles; incredible singer, and she at some point was signed a major label, went through the whole f*cking bullsh*t and made it out with Linda Perry, you know? And then the whole thing dropped. Incredible singer. One of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Sierra is the type of person that should be putting out music, and should be able to find an audience. So like, for example, if I started imprint, Sierra would be my first signing and I would work with Sierra to find a sustainable business model so she can be everything that she is as an artist, and not have to do anything goofy or stupid; complete class and dignity, and find a sustainable model in a very transparent way – you know, whether it's Kickstarter models or whatever, just like Amanda Palmer did from Dresden Dolls. So that these artists can live, literally, with dignity, you know?
What do you mean by goofy and stupid? What do you think are some of the laziest ways to make a pop star today?
Well, they're all bottom-feeders and they all chase trends, and it's all short-term business. You know, for every Rihanna, there's 999 girls you're never gonna hear of who just get crushed…. I said to a record executive, "You guys find a needle in a haystack and then you spend the entire time that you have the artist on your roster telling them why they're not special." And why do they do it? Because they don't want the artist to get cocky and they don't want the artist to try to leverage their power against the label; and you know what? As long as the labels have the system stitched up, that mentality worked, that abusive relationship worked. It doesn't work anymore because an artist can build their own world and, hey, if you're Lady Gaga and you want to sell perfume and platform shoes, more power to you. That's gonna be the new model. Artists as entrepreneur; artists builds their own business model; artists builds they own world; and, finally, artists are going to get paid on every level, not just financially, paid what they're due for their work in the culture.
I'm really looking forward to the reality show where it's a bunch of 30-somethings who all worked in major labels; they all had that one Moment and they're all like working at Starbucks, you know what I mean? And they're still looking for that one shot because there's gonna be a plethora of them laying around. It's really sad, especially with these kids that have been raised into believing that fame is the great arbiter of wealth. And it's not. Fame is not wealth. It looks like wealth when you got big Twitter numbers and a bunch of people on your Facebook telling you how great you are. That is not wealth.
So perhaps you don't hold reality TV in the highest esteem?
Not true. I'm actually trying to make a reality TV show with my wrestling promotion.
Can you tell me more about that?
Yeah. We have a wrestling promotion in Chicago called Resistance Pro. We've done about 70 shows so far and we're working on our side with a big producer and we're trying to put together a package to get our reality show made of what really goes on behind the scenes in professional wrestling promotion. I, of course, would be part of it, but not necessarily a key figure, I'll just be part of the team.
Wrestling is very much a communal effort. So, even though I'm sort of the figurehead of the company, there's a lot of people doing a lot more work than I am.
That kinda surprises me that you want to be involved in reality television. Do you have strong feelings about talent shows like "The Voice" or "American Idol?"
I really think its context, you know? I think its context. Look, reality TV as a form isn't gonna go away. It's cheap. It's cheap to make and within the economic model that we're in. We will all leave the planet with a reality TV show playing somewhere. It's here to stay… For our show, if we can get it made, we want it to be more of a documentary style because we think wrestling is crazy enough and we don't think we're gonna have to manufacture storyline.
That sounds like an even-headed opinion about reality and about talent on television. Are your feelings shaped at all because of your former relationship with Jessica Simpson, has it really helped inform you? It seems that relationship could have a large bearing on how you feel about fame and success.
No, not particularly. I mean, I had conversations with her about it but I think it was comparative to my experiences. I can't really say that I learned anything that way, but it was more just because my experience was the same. I think in the root of it, what you learn in fame is that it's very much about projection, and so there's an emptiness that goes with it because you ultimately come to realize that it's really not about you. Which is kinda weird, because it seems to be all about you, but it's really not.
So on kinda like making peace with media, making peace with culture, there's a lot of spirituality on the album. There's a lot of reference to finding peace within yourself as well. Was this album at all a kind of projection of self? Was this any kind of, you know, developing self-betterment?
I think I'm just reporting kinda where I'm at; I've just kind of always done that. I look back later and go, Wow, that's pretty weird, as if I'm talking to myself, that you were there at that moment. I think the funny thing is with "Oceania" -- which finished about seven months ago -- I'm way out of that spot now.
I'm in to a whole other set of problems. So I'm always proud that I'm able to document and snapshot certain parts of my life; it was a very interesting, painful at times, part of my life that I sort of documented. In this case, I chose to document it with joy and appreciation as opposed to anger and bitterness; not to say that there's none of that in there, but I made -- more often than not -- a happy choice [rather] than a bitter one.
On completing the 44-song cycle you set out to do: When can we expect to hear all 44?
You know, I don't know because I've got – I'm sending out a bunch of demos and right now it's like everything – "Oceania" is such a game-changer, our heads are kind of spinning. We're not really sure of where we'll land on, you know?

This review is from: ASUS VX229H Black 21.5" 5ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor AH-IPS 250 cd/m2 80,000,000:1
Pros: 1080p AH-IPS for $140.
Great contrast.
"Frameless" design is really attractive.
Cons: The stand, but at this price it's expected.
The built in speakers, but I'm pretty spoiled with a great set of headphones. They're fine general usage, just don't try to enjoy music with them.
Really sparse on ports. I would have liked to see one of the HDMIs turned into a DisplayPort.
Other Thoughts: It was $160 when I bought it. The other monitor I was looking at was $200 and had a built in webcam/microphone combo. This monitor has a better panel, and I was able to buy an external webcam/mic combo unit for less.
Highly recommend for anyone who needs a single 1080p screen. I try to stay away from TN monitors, and this is the best budget IPS I've come across.
This review is from: SILVERSTONE ST45SF-G 450W SFX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Pros: Just about everything.
Cons: The fan is the loudest part of my computer. Given I can sit a foot away from the tower and not hear it with headphones on (no music, just a little extra sound dampening), it's just a shame that Version 2.0 didn't do anything to improve the fan acoustics. Not worth docking an egg.
Other Thoughts: Had to replace the included cables with the PP05-E set. Would have preferred it if flat cables like those were included instead of the round sleeved version.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Corsair Neutron Series GTX 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-N240GBGTXB-BK
Pros: This is my first SSD after being on a 7200 RPM hard drive. It's the best upgrade you can give an aging system.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I chose this drive because of an ongoing experiment on The Tech Report
That pretty much tells me this is the best drive around for longevity and consistency.

Project Description
I am starting a new branch or program at my travel agency that works like a dream come true. As is I can get leads cheap enough and sign enough up to become profitable. It is the most simple concept in the word experienced cruisers tell friends and even advice and recommend cruises but when ready to book they send the friends online. I teach them how to book it themselves which most do anyway just without the benefits like extra income, fun, travel and social benefits. However, I basically need the writing redone because I am horrible at it and it is embarrassing. I can sign people up at the mall no problem and sell it over the phone but when people see writing they don't trust it as much.
So right now I need site rewritten just trying to buy some time because the tests advertising for leads went well enough already to make profit. I will have a professional redesign the site.

Texas Tech Program Hopes to Lure Med Students to Primary Care
In what officials hope to be the beginning of a nationwide initiative to help attract medical students to primary care, Texas Tech University's Health Sciences Center School of Medicine will launch a "first of its kind" three-year medical degree program to allow outstanding students emphasizing on primary care to complete a program at half the cost of a traditional medical school program.
"The high cost of medical school and resulting debt are major challenges for many prospective medical students," said Michael Ragain, MD, from the university health sciences center's department of family and community medicine. "Our program addresses debt on two levels: first by shortening the program from four to three years, and second, by providing scholarships to all qualifying students."
The university's program was approved by the liaison committee on medical education, the accrediting authority for medical education programs leading to the MD degree in U.S. and Canadian medical schools. The accrediting authority is sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association.
Simon Williams, PhD, associate dean for the health sciences center school of medicine, says 10 students will be selected initially out of 140 incoming medical students this fall. "Normally, we send 10 to 15 students each year into a [primary care] career, and we anticipate that will increase," Williams says. "Our primary goal is to make [a dent] on the shortage of family medicine physicians. One of the reasons is the amount of debt that is incurred by a family."
"For the average medical student, the debt amounts to $150,000. We're planning on removing the fourth year to decrease the debt substantially," says Williams. Students admitted to the program will be studying under an accelerated academic setting, he says, beginning in October.
Williams says the new program would enable outstanding family medicine students to reduce the length of medical school by 25 %, and the new program would essentially cut the debt in half, as schooling becomes more expensive in later years.
The university believes the timing of the program is important because "training primary care physicians is a national issue that targets both rural and urban areas," according to Ragain. Since 1997, U.S. medical school graduate matches in family medicine and general internal medicine programs have decreased by 50%. An American Academy of Family Physicians workforce survey in 2006 estimated that the U.S. would need about 39,000 more family physicians by 2020.
"Training primary care physicians is a national issue that targets both rural and urban areas," Ragain said. "With programs such as this, we can double the number of primary care physicians available to care for the U.S. population."
Steven Berk, MD, dean of the Texas Tech University health sciences center school of medicine added, "This is a program of national importance as we work to ensure that all Americans will have access to a primary care physician."
Under the program, the curriculum includes early introduction to clinical care in family medicine that spans the entire second year of the program. "The students will participate in additional activities during the revised three-year curriculum to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to be fully qualified and excellent primary care physicians," Williams says.
