Narrator: Many people with depression need only a good therapist. Some, medication. But for others, the answer may be electroconvulsive therapy, or ECT.
Joanne Ericksen: I didn't want to eat, didn't care how I looked, didn't want to shower. It was just very devastating.
Narrator: Joanne Ericksen experienced depression and despair. It would come in cycles, and for three months every year, she felt numb.
Joanne Ericksen: I would stare and I'd realize that a couple of hours went by and I was just sitting there, just doing nothing.
Narrator: There are many misconceptions about ECT, but the fact is it's the gold standard therapy for severe depression. ECT doesn't hurt, it's very safe, and it works faster and often better than most medications, with fewer side effects.
Joanne has ECT every month to stop symptoms from coming back. First, she has a mental and physical exam. Next, she gets an IV sedation that will put her to sleep and relax her muscles. Then, she has electrodes attached to her temples. When all is ready, a small electrical current painlessly runs through her brain and resets broken circuits.
Side effects of ECT include slight memory loss and fatigue the day of treatment. Most people receive ECT three days a week for two or three weeks to stop symptoms, then have monthly maintenance treatments to avoid recurrence.

Reviews of this property
We were very happy with everything here.
Francesca came to the street to greet us and welcome in. Apartment was nice and beautiful and the terrace of course was awesome. Spent great 2 nights here and would like to come again as well.
Francesca also fixed us ride from the airport and that was very good idea since after seeing the small streets I believe regular taxi driver would not drive you to the front door. So thank you for that as well.
Oh yeah, and the Trevi seems to be even closer than what it says. We went there many times. Thank you!
Excellent appartment! Very well located very close to the Fontana di Trevi. Very quite and lots of light with an incredible terrace. I'll repeat if I come back to Rome! Many thanks Francesca!!!
Central can not live one! Anyone not shy has many steep narrow stairs to cover up to the 5th floor, which is the place to go perfectly. A truly exceptional apartment. Tastefully decorated and the highlight, a generous Dachterrrasse. the care was perfect, to the organization of expert local taxi driver.
Zentraler kann man nicht wohnen! Wer keine Scheu hat viele steilen engen Treppen bis in den 5. Stock zurückzulegen, der ist hier hervorragend aufgehoben. Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Wohnung. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet und das Highlight, eine großzügige Dachterrrasse. auch die Betreuung war perfekt, bis hin zur Organisation des ortskundigen Taxifahrers.
Apartment very well located, clean and pleasant terrace. All however would need a "breath of fresh." Crockery and basic but sufficient kitchen for breakfast. Please note the second bedroom is separated from the apartment by the problem without terrace with more teens with little hassle! Very welcome.
Appartement très bien situé, propre et terrasse très agréable. L'ensemble aurait cependant besoin d'un "coup de frais". Vaisselle et cuisine sommaires mais suffisantes pour le petit déjeuner . Attention la seconde chambre est séparée de l'appartement par la terrasse sans problème avec des ados plus embêtant avec de petits! Très bon accueil.
We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers very pleased with the spacious very centrally located apartment with roof terrace. This allowed a little rest in the late afternoon, and then again into the evening Rome to head out. The reception by Marco was very friendly and the shuttle service to and from the airport worked well and was entertaining. Comfort default, however you have to make compromises in showers because the water temperature was very difficult to adjust (hot-cold!) And a little water. The hot tub is not really usable.
But there are more important things ...
Wir waren als 4-köpfige Familie mit 2 Teenagern sehr zufrieden mit der großzügigen sehr zentral gelegenen Wohnung mit Dachterrasse. Das ermöglichte eine kleine Ruhepause am Spätnachmittag, um dann nochmal ins abendliche Rom los zu ziehen. Der Empfang durch Marco war sehr freundlich und auch der Shuttleservice von und zum Flughafen hat gut geklappt und war unterhaltsam. Komfortmäßig muss man allerdings Abstriche beim Duschen machen, da die Wassertemperatur sehr schwer einzustellen war (Heiß-eiskalt!) und wenig Wasser. Der Whirlpool ist nicht wirklich benutzbar.
Aber es gibt ja Wichtigeres...
Super Great apartment, right next to the Trevi Fountain, and yet very quiet, absolutely no traffic and no noise Kneipp, but ne very nice roof terrace with views over other roofs and straight to the Palazzo Barberini - as originally expected clichéd. Clean and well furnished: Free WIFI, TV, refrigerator + freezer, gas stove, heater or air in each room. Even coffee and sugar-salt are available. 2 bathrooms next to the bedrooms also complete with hair dryer, shower gel and even sunscreen, towels anyway. All within walking distance The central location. Handover has also worked perfectly, we were already in the morning at 10 there were already expected and everything was done to perfection. Highly recommended.
Supertolle Wohnung, direkt neben Trevibrunnen und doch sehr ruhig gelegen, absolut kein Verkehr und kein Kneippenlärm, dafür ne sehr schöne Dachterrasse mit Blick über andere Dächer und direkt auf den Palazzo Barberini - wie man sich das klischeehaft vorstellt. Sauber und gut eingerichtet: Free WIFI, Fernseh, Kühl+Gefrierschrank, Gasherd, Heizung bzw. Klima in jedem Zimmer. Auch Kaffeepulver und Zucker-Salz sind vorrätig. 2 Bäder direkt neben den Schlafzimmern ebenfalls komplett mit Fön, Duschgel und sogar Sonnencreme, Handtücher sowieso. Durch die zentrale Lage alles zu Fuss erreichbar. Übergabe hat ebenfalls perfekt geklappt, wir waren schon in der Früh um 10 da, wurden bereits erwartet und alles war perfekt hergerichtet. Absolut zu empfehlen.
The flat is fantastic. The terrace made all the difference for us. We travel with a kid at 6 who need to spent a lot of time at "home", and then the terrace facing south-east was perfect for the wife to catch some sun and the rest of us to relax in the shade. The terrace has a retractable cover to meet any need.
The room with bunk beds, toilet and shower is separated from the main part of the flat by the terrace. That was perfect for our teenager but our six year old stayed with us in the master bedroom.
The address itself is very quiet but when you turn one corner, you are in one of the most touristic areas of Rome. It is in walking distance from the Spanish Stairs in one direction and Colosseum in the opposite direction. But going to Rome again I would prefer an address further off the beaten track.
Unfortunately we never got to see this apartement. Our booking was cancelled the day before our arrival. Perhaps there was no other way, but instead of an attic with an amazing view with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a terrace we were put in a one bedroom B&B (take it or leave it) with one bed and no view. Fortunately the bed could be separated the next night because we are not a gay couple, although people seemed to think so, and to think that this is a good reason to treat you like shit. We never got to see Virginia or Francesca or any other name she or her so-called twin sister might be sporting, nor her cute little dog that she may have or not.
A very Nice placere apartment just in the center of the old City there is a wonderful terrasse with morningsun and it is a very Quit area.
The doppelbed is fine and there is 2 singelbeds which are ok the kitchen equipment is primitiv!
There is a very god service, where our host offered a car to Pick us up in the airport a bring us direct to the apartment.
We would like to comeback back another time again

It's Weird that things have seemedto be not the same since Plax popped that cap into his leg</p>[/quote]
Not sure the exact record but we are under .500
I think we are 10-12 since that horrible Saturday.
Also as we know. At least 5 of those wins came against horrible teams. How sad!!!
Steve Smith and Nicks will be great for years to come however. Not all bad came out of this.
I honestly hope Plax gets another chance to wear Giants blue.

Mission: The mission of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is to partner with the community to provide outstanding service and protection through prevention, innovation and leadership. Recruiting, hiring and training qualified and diverse individuals to serve the Las Vegas community are central to the successful achievement of this mission. The Professional Standards Division is tasked with providing fair and unbiased recruiting, selection, background, and training systems that encourage the best local and out-of-state applicants to apply for, and secure, positions with the LVMPD.
Department Values
The LVMPD's values are the behavioral standards that our members must exhibit both on and off duty. The values of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are:
The Office of Human Resources, the Internal Standards and Analysis Section (ISAS) and Organizational Development Bureau have designed a systems approach to attracting, selecting, hiring, and training. Hiring qualified candidates can only be accomplished if qualified applicants are encouraged to work for the LVMPD. The effort to recruit a qualified workforce is the responsibility of every LVMPD employee. Additionally, the LVMPD calls upon community leaders, agencies and interest groups to support this employment effort. The Office of Human Resources has literature that is available to anyone interested in employment with the LVMPD. Potential applicants are also encouraged to visit www.protectthecity.com for additional information about the LVMPD and employment.
The various Department sections that specialize in different aspects of the recruiting, selecting, hiring, and training processes are as follows:
Recruiting – With the assistance of the community, the LVMPD encourages applicants to prepare for a career in law enforcement. Recruiters hold symposiums, visit special interest groups, conduct employment seminars, conduct fitness preparation sessions, and meet one-on-one with potential applicants. Men and women interested in law enforcement are encouraged to visit with recruiters who will explain their career options and answer questions. For those not interested in becoming an officer, there are a variety of civilian positions as well. Job descriptions and minimum qualifications are also listed on this website for more information.
Talent Management Section – This Section handles a variety of selection and classification-related tasks, to include conducting job analyses, developing new classifications, developing and administering testing processes, posting job announcements, screening applications, and creating eligibility lists for hire, transfer and promotion.
Personnel Management Team – This Team handles the employment processing of new employees, and tracking of personnel movement throughout the LVMPD.

text: My daughter has a 99 S-10 Blazer 4.3L 2WD. The ABS warning light has been coming on the dash especially when it get very cold out (less than 20 dgrees). The brakes are very weak and mussy. Pedal goes almost all the way to the floor like she has no brakes. If you get it up to 10-15 mph and stomp on the brakes a couple times they been coming back to normal, but not anymore. I've heard this is the wheel speed sensor gone bad? And yes, the brakes are in very good condition and nothing needs relacing like the pads, rotors, calipers,etc... Any suggestions? And how would you determine which side it is?

Bob Balaban has spent most of his career as an actor. He has appeared in many movies and television shows, most of them comedies. Now as an author, he is bringing his sense of humor to a new series for kids. The first book is called Creature from the Seventh Grade: Boy or Beast.
The main character, a boy named Charlie, is strange to begin with, but he becomes even more unusual when he turns into a dinosaur. According to Balaban, Charlie is a lot like he was as a kid. For example, Charlie is small, and Balaban was too. ""I almost blew away once," Balaban told TFK. "I had to hang on to a fire hydrant." For more laughs—and information on the new book—read on.
What do you and Charlie have in common with each other, other than your middle name (Elmer)?
Charlie has many things in common with me but not everything. He is kind of a unique little boy. [As a kid,] I was interested in things most kids aren't. I liked making movies. I was the shortest, skinniest and twirpiest boy in the class and [the] class below me. But in a funny way, I didn't mind being so different, and Charlie doesn't mind either. Many of the things that happened to Charlie happened to me. I almost blew away once. I got in trouble with the principal because he forced us boys to be on the football team one year. I was too small, and I argued with my principal. I also had funny little friends like Charlie does.
Charlie turns into a creature. Why did you want the creature to be a dinosaur?
I like dinosaurs, and I wanted to attract young readers. Young readers are interested in dinosaurs.
Is this book part of a series?
It is the first of what is planned to be four books. The second is called The Creature from the Seventh Grade: Sink or Swim.
How does being an actor influence your writing?
I didn't know until I started writing, but I have come to find out acting and writing are very similar. When you are an actor, you create a lot of things but not the basic story. When you are a writer, you create things, but you are kind of invisible.
Why do you hate your middle name, Elmer, so much?
When I was a kid, everyone's names were Bob and Steve, and Elmer was an old-fashioned name. Elmer was my father's name. I complained because I thought people would make fun of me.
What was your inspiration for Creature from the Seventh Grade: Boy or Beast?
I myself had a very turbulent seventh grade [year]. Some of it was fun, and some of it was a little frightening. I thought it would be interesting to write about the changes in seventh grade.

I'm not packing clothes
for this year's CMJ Marathon in New
York City. In fact, I'm not even bringing down a
laptop. Instead of spending five straight days inhaling various poisons,
feverishly blogging on the same nonsense that everyone else is covering, and
ransacking my weathered eardrums with out-of-tune guitar shreds and swollen
bass lines, I'm limiting my trip to one day and two nights, and seeing how much
I can cram in.

More Kiwis are swapping cows' milk for soy and other milk alternatives, new data shows.
Foodstuffs spokeswoman Antoinette Shallue said retail sales of soy milk in New World and Pak'nSave stores grew 3.4 per cent in 2011 and 1.5 per cent last year.
But she said the sales of rice milk and almond milk grew 8.1 per cent in 2012.
Vitasoy general manager Neil Hinton said there had been up to 30 per cent growth in retail sales of soy milk over the past five years.
But he said where growth had really been noticeable was in cafes: "It's almost exponential."
John Macphail, national brand manager of Muffin Break, said one in 40 of the coffees sold through his chain's stores was now made with soy milk.
Muffin Break says it sold
3 million coffees in 2012, of which 70,000 were soy.
In Australia, 7 per cent of coffees were made with soy.
Muffin Break does not charge customers extra for soy milk. Macphail said it cost about 25 per cent more to produce a soy coffee, but his company was absorbing the cost.
Of those who opted for traditional milk at Muffin Break cafes, 70 per cent chose blue top and 30 per cent opted for trim.

For two weeks in August, the world's best athletes came together to compete. From the historical opening ceremony to the rock-and-roll closing, the Games lit up London and thrilled billions of fans watching at home.
This year, the spotlight shone on female athletes. Three countries sent women to compete for the first time. Women's boxing was a new event. Women won more than half of the 46 gold medals taken home by Team U.S.A.
It was the best U.S. performance ever at an Olympics. Gymnasts Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman and swimmer Missy Franklin captured our hearts. Crowds cheered at the tennis court as Venus and Serena Williams won gold. Tears flowed when retiring swimmer Michael Phelps won his 19th, and final, Olympic medal.
For the fastest, highest and strongest, there's little rest. Many athletes are already back in training, looking to the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Founder of a cult in the late 60's called Children Of God, later called "The Family" now known as TFI (The Family International). Berg was an anti-semetic pedophile who encouraged the women of his cult to lure in new members with sex. The phrase he coined for this practice was called "Flirty Fishing" or "FF". He made a perverse child raising guide with sexual photographs of his adopted son, Ricky Rodriguez who killed himself and another member in 2005. The Family International currently has over 10,000 members. Berg died in 1994 at the age of seventy-five. Good riddance. All religions are brainwashing cults, some just happen to be socially acceptable unlike TFI.

Password sniffing, spoofing, buffer overflows, and denial of service: these are only a few of the attacks on today's computer systems and networks. At the root of this epidemic is poorly written, poorly tested, and insecure code that puts everyone at risk. Clearly, today's developers need help figuring out how to write code that attackers won't be able to exploit. But writing such code is surprisingly difficult.
Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++ is an important new resource for developers serious about writing secure code. It contains a wealth of solutions to problems faced by those who care about the security of their applications. It covers a wide range of topics, including safe initialization, access control, input validation, symmetric and public key cryptography, cryptographic hashes and MACs, authentication and key exchange, PKI, random numbers, and anti-tampering. The rich set of code samples provided in the book's more than 200 recipes will help programmers secure the C and C++ programs they write for both Unix® (including Linux®) and Windows® environments. Readers will learn:
John Viega, Founder and Chief Scientist of Secure Software (www.securesoftware.com), is a well-known security expert, and coauthor of Building Secure Software (Addison-Wesley) and Network Security with OpenSSL (O'Reilly). John is responsible for numerous software security tools, and is the original author of Mailman, the GNU mailing list manager. He holds a B.A. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia. Mr. Viega is also an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA) and a Senior Policy Researcher at the Cyberspace Policy Institute, and he serves on the Technical Advisory Board for the Open Web Applications Security Project. He also founded a Washington, D.C. area security interest group that conducts monthly lectures presented by leading experts in the field. He is the author or coauthor of nearly 80 technical publications, including numerous refereed research papers and trade articles.

They have been known to live over 20 years while in captivity.The crested porcupine is covered with black bristly fur. But running down the top of its head and neck is a crest of white bristly hairs that give way to an array of black and white spines that cover the animal's back, sides, and short tail. The short spines on the tail are hollow, which makes them rattle when shaken.Highly adaptable creatures, crested porcupines can live in forests, plantations, rocky or mountainous areas, as well as deserts. They are found in Italy, Sicily, and along the Mediterranean coast of Africa as far south as Tanzania and northern Congo. They they shelter in caves, rock crevices, aardvark holes, or burrows they dig themselves. These burrows are often extensive and can be used for many years.Crested porcupines live in monogamous pairs and form family groups sharing complex burrows. They are nocturnal and forage at night, moving along tracks or roads. They will often travel up to nine miles per night in search of food. They primarily eat roots, bark, and fallen fruit, but have a fondness, too, for cultivated root crops such as cassava, potatoes, and carrots. Although they are vegetarians, porcupine burrows are often littered with bones. They gnaw on the bones to sharpen their incisor teeth and to obtain calcium.At birth, crested porcupines weigh only three percent of their mother's weight. When born, the young porcupine's quills are white and soft, although they start to become hard within hours. Their eyes are open and incisors are already crowning shortly after birth. After only one week, their spines begin to harden and, although small, they leave the nest.When threatened, the crested porcupine raises and fans its quills to create the illusion of greater size. The crested porcupine will then stamp its feet, click its teeth, and growl or hiss while vibrating specialized quills that produce a characteristic rattle. The "rattle quills" on the end of the tail are hollow and open at the end, thus producing the most noise. If an enemy persists, the porcupine runs backward until it rams its attacker. Such attacks have been known to kill lions, leopards, hyenas, and humans-- and these predators have often been found with porcupine quills lodged in their throats. New quills grow in to replace lost ones.Porcupine quills have long been a favorite ornament and good luck charm in Africa. The hollow rattle quills serve as musical instruments and were once used as containers for gold dust.

Comments about oreilly Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++:
Some years later, this is still one of the best books I've ever purchased, along with the first revision of the Camel Book which got me well on my way to competently pumping out decent Perl code, this book really helped me get a footing with regard to writing competent encryption code using OpenSSL. Most common tasks you'll need to perform using SSL are covered, and that's only about 1/3 of the book's content. It also delves rather deeply into lower level cryptographic development as well as other security solutions for C programmers. It goes beyond just programming, too. In terms and code examples that a competent C programmer can understand, it makes clear just what the myriad acronyms you'll run into while working with encryption code, how they function, how they interact to create code that provides a given amount of security and trust, and most importantly how to implement them in a way that your needs are met. If you are a C programmer, you should read and have this book around. If you write code that deals with user input, authentication, cryptographic, or network communications, it's practically a must. I'm hoping for a second edition some time. Some coverage of code auditing tools might be interesting, that field has developed a lot over the past years since this book was released. OpenSSL has progressed a bunch, too, and some more in-depth specifics (such as web functionality, maybe even coverage of common GUI toolkits like GTK, Qt, etc) would be just wonderful, as well. C is far from dead. I've been using C for the past 11 years, and it's still the language I use more than any other.

Good and hard core
By Anonymous
Although the code examples are written in C, if you are a serious programmer in C/C++ or Java, the recipes in this book offer very valuable information now how to write not only secure programs, but good programs. I have seen many run-of-the-mill programs that are written without the least security concept (How many time have you encountered a program that needs to write to a system folder for no apparent reason, thus requiring the end-user to have unnecssary elevated rights on the system folder?)

Secure Programming Cookbook for C and C++ Review
By netmask
I hadn't anticipated the heavy amount of crypto related chapters in this book. I honestly had only read about the input validation, avoiding overflows, and access control portions. It turns out it covers those areas plus a wide range of crypto related code. It goes over the fundamentals of Symmetric Crypto in great detail, from simple base64 encoding to parallelizing Encryption and decryption in arbitrary modes. All of the crypto related portions of this book are very clear. I highly recommend this book if you are doing any kind of crypto, whether it's simply encrypting a password, a file, or setting up a socket based secure communication tunnel.The Networking chapter is a very good reference section for creating SSL clients and servers, as well as using kerberos or securing your connections to your database. There is almost 80 pages of information related to generating random numbers and data from using /dev/random to gathering entropy from Mouse Evens on Win32.The one chapter I didn't expect to see here that was quite good was Chapter 12, Anti-Tampering. This chapter goes over obfuscating your code, detecting binary modifications, disguising boolean values, etc. It even shows you how to detect SoftICE and other debuggers, which can be useful for attempting to block people from cracking your commercial software. Although, I believe all attempts end up being rather futile when someone is determined enough.This book really is a must for anyone who is programming. If not just for the basics of protecting yourself from overflows and validating input and environment variables, than definitely for the extremely well written sections on crypto. This book has earned a permanent spot next to K&R and UNP on my desk.

Father's Day Gift Guide: The Lost Arts
<p>Forget the gadgets and gizmos; take this father's day to explore some of the lost manly arts. </p>
Fathers. Simple men. Strong men. Brought up in a time when "all the bells and whistles" meant electric windows and Technicolor, they could never have foreseen how skill sets would be passed down to future generations, never would have predicted all this newfangled technology, the little boxes and beeps that rule the world. Back then, the internet was something of a deus ex machina; the idea that we would one day forgo knowledge from experience in exchange for so-called knowledge at our fingertips would have seemed altogether absurd. Googling anything, let alone a ritual as ancient and important as "how to shave," would have seemed strange, Star Trekian to them; gauging the degree to which a steak should be cooked based on an infograph, odd. Indeed: in the age of the internet, the father has easily been supplanted by the sterile, cold world of the search engine.
So this Father's Day, forget getting Dad the latest hyperconnected gizmo; go back and spend some time with him, learn some of the lost arts of manliness from the man who learned them from his dad. Lost arts like…
Lost Art: Shaving
You used to watch your dad nick himself in the mirror and never wanted to bleed more. This was also probably your first introduction to a wide variety of curse words which, at such a tender age and spoken by such a commanding figure, instantly became embedded into your vocabulary and were echoed out of context with reckless abandon. This set from Art of Shaving features a replaceable fusion razor and pure badger brush.
The Art of Shaving's Fusion Contemporary Shaving Set: $265.
Lost Art: Drinking
Dad probably has a preferred poison (a Johnnie Walker Black, perhaps) so getting him to shift tacks midstream might be a bit of a challenge (he is, after all, set in his ways), but this latest offering from Suntory is something special. Though hailing from Japan, it's every bit as peaty as an Islay, and Suntory boasts the title Distiller of the Year from the IOC for three years running. Now, as far as a lost art: it means drinking heavily, like Dad, but never showing a sign of being drunk.
The Hakushu Single Malt Whisky: $60.
Lost Art: Grilling
Is the only thing worse than your dad's inedible, incinerated meat his golf game? Welcome, then, to the world of getting two birds stoned at once. This is really a gift for you, for the whole family: no longer will you have to grin and bear it in the backyard or on the back nine; Dad can work on his grip and his flip simultaneously. And the kind of jokes your dad likes are endless: no more meat mulligans, hitting the (sausage) links; everyone can laugh and laugh…
Golfer's BBQ Set from Uncommon Goods: $28.
Lost Art: Subtlety
Subtlety is something of an underappreciated quality in the brisk and blunt age of single-sentence emails and expected-immediately replies. But your dad knows a thing or two about it; he lived in the era of the sleazy used-car salesman, a time when not showing every card in your hand was truly an ace in the hole. Show him you still see the smooth operator he once was with this simple "you-sly-devil-you" flask set from Ernest Alexander.
Dean Chocolate Wax Flask Set from Ernest Alexander: $50.
Lost Art: Woodsman-ery
Whether your dad is a woodsman or not, there is nothing cooler or more manly than owning an oversized and ultimately useless knife. He may never have spent a day outside a major metropolitan area in his life, but he'll be happy to receive this machete. Think of the time you'll spend together imagining all the impractical uses for it: cutting fruit, pruning shrubs, scaring children, carrying it around with no rhyme or reason. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
The Woodsmans Pal: $67.
Lost Art: Culinary Skills
There was a time when a man's worth was intrinsically tied to the sharpness of his sword, to his skills with a blade. We've since become a little more diplomatic about settling disputes (more back-and-forth, less bloodshed), but that shouldn't deter you from knowing your way around a knife. Your dad will tell you that folks who use subpar steel don't think much about the difference a quality cut can make, but once you've mastered the craft, it'll be hard to go back.
Shun Fuji 7-Piece Knife Block Set from Williams-Sonoma: $1963.
This, the mother of all lost arts, went the way of the dodo about the same time that people started getting really restless about the treatment of animals; all of a sudden having a giant stuffed and cockeyed dead animal hanging from the rafters was a real faux pas. But fear not: the people over at White Faux Taxidermy are bringing this back from the dead (pardon the pun); Dad's gonna love a big ole Bullwinkle mounted on the wall. Mom's not.
The Leonard Moose Head Black Resin from WFT: $89.

News: Tagged as FF Duper
The a|ɑ-Team
Every now and then we are asked for typefaces containing alternative characters – the first letter of the alphabet is especially interesting in this respect as the Latin script knows two forms of the lower case a: the double-storey a is one of the most distinctive letters in a typeface while the single-storey a is rather neutral and decent. So you can considerably change the character of a typeface by simply swapping just one letter.
Thanks to OpenType both forms can be contained in one font and the user can easily switch between the two forms (in applications that support OT layout features, like Adobe's Creative Suite for instance). Many of the innovative FontFonts offer this opportunity:

New release: FF50
BERLIN, GERMANY, November 2009 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Mach™ The very first sketches of FF Mach were drawn in 2004 when a colleague who planned a new Polish magazine about culture and arts asked Łukasz Dziedzic for a logo – there was neither time nor money, so he did it quickly and for free. The logo was met with approval and Łukasz was asked for some sample covers and a few days later for the whole layout – again immediately and free of charge. Łukasz agreed with mixed feelings, thinking this might be a chance to use some of his fonts and even make a new one based on the logo and title graphics. The new font worked well but unfortunately, after the magazine failed three months later, it was never used again until Łukasz decided in 2008 to redraw all the glyphs in order to remove the traces of that speedy work, and in the end he designed a complete new type family with six weights and three widths.
FF Masala™ is as unctuous as a curry sauce with a hint of chili to add zest. Xavier Dupré's initial idea for FF Masala was to offer a casual Sans matching FF Tartine Script. After rethinking and refining, FF Masala became a truly casual type system with three Sans weights and their Italics plus three powerful Script versions with swashes, right for logos and packaging as well as comics or children's book covers.
FF DIN® Condensed Italic™ — The FF DIN family has been completed by FF DIN Condensed Italic including Latin Extended and Cyrillic Extended characters.read more
New release: FF49
BERLIN, GERMANY, July 2009 - FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Dagny™ — In 2002, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN) changed from broadsheet to tabloid – a change that came along with a major impact on DN's journalism, editing and design. Pangea design's Creative Director, Örjan Nordling, had already worked with DN as a design consultant in 1996. In 2000, DN had been redesigned under the leadership of Dr. Mario Garcia. For the new design Nordling had created DN Bodoni exclusively for Dagens Nyheter. The change to tabloid called for a more compact setting and Pangea design was commissioned to produce a matching sans serif for Sweden's largest daily newspaper. This became DN Grotesk which now has evolved into FF Dagny.
For the FontFont library Nordling and Göran Söderström made several adjustments, the contrast in stroke thickness was reduced for better legibility in small sizes and characters were redesigned together with the FontFont Type Department. The family now includes a range of consistent weights from Thin to Black making it perfect for use in body text and all kind of other applications. The name Dagny is an abbreviation of Dagens Nyheter as well as an old nordic female name meaning "new day".
FF Duper™ — Martin Wenzel's original idea from 1998 evolved into a kind of informal FF Profile in the end. The new FF Duper has a home-made touch, but provides of course all typographic qualities of a contemporary OpenType font. FF Duper consists of Regular, Bold, Regular Italic and Bold Italic weights, supports more than 60 languages, has several figure sets and fractions and includes alternative forms for a, g and y as well as a set of arrows, bullets and ornaments. And there is a special extra: All weights contain three versions of each glyph and via an OpenType feature the three alternatives are used in succession, treating vowels and consonents separately and recognizing even spaces between words for a lively and hand-made appearance of the typed text. Preliminary versions of the typeface have already been successful in education and school projects, but there are surely more areas where FF Duper perfectly fits in.
FF Kava™ started out as a free typeface called Kaffeesatz, published by Yanone in 2004 during the early stages of his type designing career. The bold weight was reminiscent of coffeehouse grotesk typefaces of the 1920s, while the lighter versions were supposed to bridge the gap to contemporary type design.
The current FF Kava family is a carefully revised, more rounded version of the old Kaffeesatz fonts. A black weight has been added as well as small caps and more figure sets to form now an attractive modern and soft sans serif type family.
FF Unit® Slab: When Kris Sowersby, Christian Schwartz and Erik Spiekermann were designing the parameters for FF Meta Serif, they spent quite some time on details like the thickness and the shape of the serifs – should the face veer towards a slab with blocky, heavy serifs or should it be more of a traditional book face? In the end, they went for a "normal" serif face with fairly solid serifs, but some thick-thin contrast and counters that aren't totally parallel to the outside shape of the letters. Stronger and thus more useful than Times New Roman while not as constructed as Rockwell.read more

text: You have me thinking sideways about something. My husband and I own a small manufacturing company - we make sowing machines (yes I spelled that right - they're for greenhouses). Our machines are mostly aluminum with black. For our 10th anniversary my husband is having some of the milled aluminum parts black anodized. I've seen the samples and they're lovely. So yeah - now I'm doing a sideways think about black anodized parts on a sewing machine ... hand wheel perhaps. Will have to ask my husband if it's possible - my knowledge of metallurgy is limited to spelling metallurgy.

Not related to any particular post, but the stuff about Tessa's weight is obnoxious. Do we really want ice dance to be all about tiny thin girls? Tessa looks healthy and strong, and the key is how to work with the size difference they have in the best possible way, rather than trying to recapture what they did in the past when she was slimmer. We've seen teams with similar/smaller size differences manage just fine. If Morgan Cipres can lift 1.67m Vanessa James in pairs, and the Kerrs managed nice-looking lifts despite a tiny height difference, Scott and Tessa can surely work something out. Maybe the time has come for them to do a reverse lift! They can look to Hurtado/Diaz for inspiration...
Your post and chuckm's post were different. My post was meant clarify what chuckm meant by "heavy". Since I found out from a later poster that you had made a comment earlier using "heavy" in a different context to describe her skating, I added an ETA simply because I felt that Dance Fanatic's last sentence very well could have been directed towards you; which then I could not use my explanation of muscle hypertrophy, now could I?

V/M were the first team to score straight +3s on all their lifts and did so at the Olympics. I'd argue that alone means they've "set a standard for great lifts."
I love Meryl Davis and charlie Whites new fs it's truly beautiful, i loved their interpretation, the theme, the connection they had throughout the whole performance, i felt soo captivated watching them, couldn't take my eyes away!
I really like this Carmen and while usually I look at Scott, this time Tessa steals the show.
And they have trained with Cirque du Soleil really?


text: I just purchased this extractor from MannLake: http://www.mannlakeltd.com/beekeepin...es/page98.html and as it turns out it doesn't fit 9 deep frames like advertised, it easily fits 12. I ran it last night and was pretty happy with the performance however the motor gets hot after about 30 minutes of use. To be expected I suppose, and perhaps it's heating up due to overloading. I think I'll keep running it that way until I burn up the motor and then replace it with a higher horse power motor. Anyone else used this extractor or have any input on it?

Dawnguard adds a quest involving the Dwemer ruins that leads you to a forge, with which the player can craft one of three items, one of them being a crown that allows the player to store the effects of a guardian stone inside it. With that I have an anti-mage that uses both the Atronach Stone and the Apprentice Stone. Combined with the Atronach perk in the alteration tree and the Necromage perk in the restoration tree, my character absorbs 100% of all incoming magic damage as magicka, and the apprentice stone's increased fire weakness in conjunction with the Dunmer weakness to fire and the vampire weakness to fire greatly increases the potential damage of an incoming fire spell, and by effect increasing the amount of magicka my character gets from each fire spell while negating any potential threat that the fire may have. The magicka regeneration boost of the apprentice stone helps to alleviate the 50% reduction in regeneration inflicted by the Atronach stone as well, to my character is able to steamroll mages while still being able to hold up against melee and archer opponents. This character is also specialized in one-handed melee weapons, so close up skirmishes aren't an issue if an enemy does get too close and magicka is too low.
It's a bit overpowered, but I enjoy it. Haven't hit level 81 yet - think I'm about 20 levels away - so I still have a ways to go, and I haven't maxed out any of the crafting skills yet.

Soooo... In all of my playthroughs I completed the cival war questline before I ever progressed all that far in the main quest. This time around I haven't touched the war at all, and I was surprised when the main questline draws attention to this and requires some extra work.
I'm sure some of you already know this, but on the off chance some of you don't here's what happens.
With no progress having been made in the war Jarl Balgruuf is unwilling to help you capture a dragon because he fears Whiterun will be attacked. To get around this you propose a temporary truce, which involves getting Jarl Ulfric and General Tullius to agree to meet at High Hrothgar (and getting the Greybeards to agree to hold the meeting). I don't know if Ulfric or Tullius can tell you to go fuck yourself and pick a side, I was successful in getting them to agree to the meeting.
At the meeting there is arguing and negotiating and they wind up turning to you on several matters. I was trying to be fair but... I wound up with the Empire trading Markarth for Dawnstar and the Stormcloaks giving restitution for a massacre they had committed. These terms were agreed on and I was free to use the dragon trap. War will resume once Alduin is dead.
That was pretty cool and all, but if they can put in alternate quest stuff like this then why is there nothing for wiping out the Thieves' Guild?
---------- Post added 2012-12-29 at 01:15 AM ----------
Can any RP "nerds" (sorry:P) give me some good advice what to do with Dark Brotherhood? I already decided to go with the antihero route. There are just so many evil quests. Start out as a pacifist pickpocket and a thief, trying to scrape by, then become a vampire at some point, go arrgh, do the Dawnguard questline and most of the evil quests, have a breakthrough at some point and become a antihero who doesnt just kill people and so on.
So joining DB basically fits, destroying also fits but I'd rather join them.. but I can't figure out what to do with them after becoming "good" again. Obviously I can stop murdering people for them but I cant leave them or get rid of that "insanity" where the corpse whispers to me. Being a leader of a bunch of murderers and having some secret torture chamber for extorting money doesn't exactly fit a good character or even an anti-hero.
So is there any other way to deal with it other than just killing Astrid and missing out on the quests? Even if you just stopped visiting them, I don't think they would just accept a "Im out, bye, it's been fun" note from a listener. I want a perfect playthrough and complete as much of the game as possible so that would feel unfinished or start to bother me.
Quick question people, is it possible to betray Ulfric after finishing the stormcloaks quests?
I ended up by siding with the dude since the empire tried to bloody murder me at game start, but damn, he is such an asshole too =/
Yes, forgot to mention that. Only if you confront him during the final siege, fighting for the Empire. You can't kill him if you side with him.
This is so annoying - seems like something got borked and now I can't dismiss Lydia anymore. I uninstalled the follower mod, clean save, re-activated, nothing. Heck, even in vanilla (with zero mods), I can't dismiss her. But she isn't following me! She is just putzing around dragonsreach, yet her dialogue options are that of her "follow mode". Grr.
Something fundamental is broken in that savegame. Even in a modless vanilla game, I can't even recruit/dismiss (because I don't know what state she is in. show playerfollowercount returns 0.0000 - but I can't make her follow me, I can trade things with her though, odd. I can recruit another follower still, but not her). Eh, she fell in battle. I just have to make do without one. Playing Master without any magic - no enchanting, etc is HARD. First dragon gave me soo much trouble because I ran out of arrows.
