Level I: Non-interactive, Computer Graphic and/or Digital Video Visuals, No Motion
This level of simulation is exemplified by desktop systems with a computer monitor showing computer graphics or high-resolution video of a road scene, using standard controls (wheel, pedals), or sometimes only a mouse or touchscreen to allow the subject to respond to what is displayed on the monitor. The performance measures that can be obtained using such low-cost methods are strictly "part-task"─i.e., one stage or component of driver information processing assumed to underlie safe vehicle control is isolated for study, for example perceptual vigilance as a function of hours without sleep, or hazard detection latency while performing a secondary (divided attention) task.
As one example of such research, a vigilance study conducted by Mills et al. (2001) used a computerized task to study the effects of stimulants (dextroamphetamine at 10 mg), sedatives (a short half-life benzodiazepine, alprazolam at 0.5 mg), and fatigue, on single- and divided-attention responses in different parts of the visual field. Subjects included 18 healthy volunteers age 19 to 37 (no older people were tested). For all subjects, blood samples were taken at predose and at 12 postdose intervals (ranging from 0.25 hours to 12 hours) to determine alprazolam or dextroamphetamine plasma concentrations. Maximum concentrations of alprazolam occurred between 0.75 and 4 hours from dosing, with an average 1.78 hours. Maximum concentrations of dextroamphetamine concentration occurred between 1.5 and 4 hours, with an average of 2.78 hours.
The driving-related tasks in this research included a perceptual task in the center of the computer display, combined with identification of a critical (octagon shape) target presented at varying positions and eccentricities at the periphery of the display. Test stimuli were presented as described below using a 17-inch monitor and a keyboard spacebar and arrow keys were used to record subjects' responses.
For the central task, subjects were presented with a 7.3 cm by 5.6 cm box in the center of the monitor divided by a vertical double line that simulated a pavement centerline marking. Subjects saw a combination of "headlights" (two white lights) and "taillights" (two red lights) on each trial. One stimulus configuration—white lights on the left side of the line (representing an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane) and red lights on the right side of the line (representing a leading vehicle)—was designated as "correct." Subjects were instructed to only respond to the central task, by pressing the space bar on the computer's keyboard, if the display was "correct."
The peripheral task randomly presented 12 shapes for each trial, one of which could be an octagon. The stimulus display duration varied from 1 to 3 seconds. Each critical trial presented the octagon at each of the 12 positions (three levels of eccentricity on four radials), for single- and multiple-response displays.
Behavioral measures included the speed and accuracy of responses to the peripheral targets (at each of three angles of eccentricity) without the divided-attention requirement; the speed and accuracy of responses for the central task and the peripheral target identifications (at each of the three visual angles); and a composite score that calculated as a single linear combination of all measures. The composite score was the measure most sensitive to peak drug effects.
Results of the study showed that spatial "tunneling" was produced with both sedatives and stimulants, however tunneling was unique to each drug. With sedatives, tunneling was shown by decrements in both the single-task and divided-task scores, as the displays became more distant from the center. Stimulant-induced tunneling was characterized by improvements in only the divided-attention task displays near the center of the screen, with little or no changes at the outer edges. The tunneling brought on by depressants coincided with rising and peak blood levels.
The demonstrated impairment from a low dose of the sedative was similar to that observed in a study conducted by Mills, Parkman, and Spruill (1996), with significant deficits in visual scanning and divided attention at peak blood concentrations, which increased as stimuli were presented at increasing eccentricities. The computerized assessment in this research was thus sensitive to deficits caused by the medications that are important to the task of driving—the ability to spot potential hazards in the periphery and to divide attention.
One additional example of simulation methods at this level is provided by the work of Ball, Owsley, and colleagues at the Edward R. Roybal Center for Research in Applied Gerontology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The Roybal Center's simulator includes a car cab (front seat only) mounted on a fixed platform, with three screens (affording a roughly 120° field of view) displaying projection videos of different driving scenarios filmed (from a driver's eye perspective) to capture situations and maneuvers of particular interest to researchers (e.g., intersection negotiation). This approach (video) produces a high degree of realism in the driving scene stimuli, but limits the interactivity of the system to slight adjustments in the perceived travel speed of the driver's vehicle in response to pressure on the gas and brake pedals; this is why the UAB system is classified as 'Level 1' for the present discussion.
The UAB researchers have used this simulator since 1998, primarily in studies of aging and visual attention/visual information processing involving the "useful field of view" construct. Many hundreds of older subjects have participated in this research program; results have been widely reported, in peer-reviewed journals. Without discussing the results of any specific study, this review draws attention to the UAB researchers' experience with simulator sickness among older subjects. In their initial applications of this driving simulator, between one-quarter and one-third of older subjects became ill or 'queasy' to the extent that data collection could not proceed. However, after limiting subjects' exposure to only those driving scenarios involving straight-ahead movement—no horizontal or vertical curves—the rate of simulator sickness was reduced to under 5 percent.44

Ex-Gay "Cuddle Therapy" Sounds Suspiciously Gay
Most of the things bigots do are just plain sad. Take "ex-gay therapy," for example. A bunch of quacks claim that homosexuals can be "cured" of their same-sex attraction through what they call "gay aversion therapy," but which is really just shaming and guilt-tripping. "Ex-gay therapy" is roundly criticized by actual psychologists. You can read all about the American Psychological Association's distaste for gay aversion therapy here. But that has not stopped its practitioners — including Michele Bachmann's husband! — from providing the service. Frequently these "ex-gay therapies" are run by religious individuals or organizations and the practice is euphemistically referring to as "praying the gay away."
But sometimes, thank God, these very same bigots are hilariously funny. Take, for instance, when "ex-gay therapy" involves getting cuddled by a bunch of dudes. As blogger Tracy Clark-Flory at Salon.com explains, some "ex-gay therapy" advocates claim that homosexuality in men is caused by a lack of physical affection from one's father during childhood, which causes men to eroticize all male touch. (Wait, I thought being gay was caused by your mother?) So how do these so-called "therapists" train gay dudes not to get boners from other men? Through wrestling, bear hugs and something called "The Motorcycle," which involves sitting with your head between another dude's legs. Ted Cox, a writer, went undercover at a camp for "ex-gay therapy" and felt "the unmistakable bulge" pressing through another man's jeans during their Motorcycle session.
What isn't funny about ex-gay "cuddle therapy"? The price tag. Cox forked over $650 for a weekend "Journey Into Manhood" retreat, plus airfare.
Seriously, guys, the bathhouse is much cheaper.

'Nuclear Love Affair' - Theater for the New City
Hours: 90 min. runtime
Ages: 16+
Price: $15
155 First Avenue - 212-254-1109
East Village, NY 10003
Description: "Nuclear Love Affair" (world premiere) by Sanaz Ghajarrahimi and Ben Hobbs. Johnson Theater - Sunday, August 14 at 7:00PM; Tuesday, August 16 at 9:00PM; Thursday, August 18 at 9:00PM; Thursday, August 25 at 7:00PM; Friday, August 26 at 9:00PM; Saturday, September 3 at 5:00PM. Running Time: 90 minutes | Tickets $15. In this spectacular multimedia investigation of America in the Atomic Age, unnerving images, rattling rhythms and disturbing text collide with slapstick and highly aggressive physical storytelling to create an erotic pop culture explosion. Focusing on the period of 1941-1969, "Nuclear Love Affair" traces America's obsession with violence through the social and political chain reaction caused by dropping of the atomic bomb. Iconic figures, historical tales and stock film footage are layered with a frenetic music score that combines hits from the era with modern beats to build an expressive and surreal landscape. Featuring Elvis Presley dancing through Vietnam, Charlie Chaplin at Hiroshima, Lucille Ball doing a commercial for an electric chair, and Marilyn Monroe teaching us all how to duck and cover, "Nuclear Love Affair" is a twisted take on the journey of the American Dream. It looks at where we have been, and begs us, "Where do we go from here?" Sanaz Ghajarrahimi (Director and Co-Author) is an Iranian-American director and choreographer. With Built for Collapse, she has directed and choreographed "Orpheus and the Plastic Masquerade" (Galapagos Art Space), "Elephant Man" (Wings Theatre), "Stork and Owl" (Bleecker Street Theater), "Hamlet" (Galapagos Art Space, Grace Exhibition Space) and "Romeo and Juliet" (Access Theater). Other selected directing credits include "Kill To Eat" by Caridad Svich (Hangar Theatre), "House" (Brooklyn Lyceum), "The States of Panic" by Jon Marans (The Barrow Group), "Melancholy Play" by Sarah Ruhl (Robert Moss Theater) and "Jet of Blood" by Antonin Artaud (Studio Theater). Ghajarrahimi is a Drama League Alumnus and Artistic Director of Built for Collapse. She earned her BFA at New York University. Ben Hobbs (Choreographer and Co-Author) is a performer, choreographer and visual artist.

Anyway we settle down in our
living room and exchange gifts cute little cards and such, pretty normal
well almost. I start to open a card, still half dazed from working all day,
I assumed it was a card from our pets because it stated "from your
offspring", since we think of our dogs like children. I said thank
you, she said read it again. The second time around I got it, The card
from the our offspring growing inside my wife. I felt like a kid at
Christmas, it was moment I will never forget, the look on her face the
tears in both our eyes, you see we had been trying.
On the morning of October 20, 2003
my wife started going into hard labor right after her water broke, I say
hard labor because later she admitted to me that she had most likely been in
labor for the better part of a week. So there I was 5:00 am running into
the bathroom to attend to my wife. As it turned out she was having a bit of
a bloody show and she was getting distraught. Not to worry this was all
perfectly normal and I called our midwife, calmed her down and was timing
her contractions.
It was an interesting ride to say the least, you could say she was uncomfortable but that would be a gigantic understatement. I believe if we had 5 minutes longer in the truck I would have had to patch the roof from her pounding on it. We arrived at the hospital around 7:15 am, we were already preregistered so we went right up to delivery.
Since my wife wasn't up for much
conversation I answered most of the questions and ran interference so she
could concentrate on what she had to do. I never left her side and
encouraged and rubbed constantly, except of course when she yelled at me to
stop touching her. We finally arrived to the delivery room where we were
greeted by nurses but still no midwife. My wife began to instinctively
squat down, one of the most efficient birthing positions.

when a convenient appliance like a dishwasher begins to malfunction, it be extremely aggravating. i did some research on the problem and provided a link to a similar question and answer on our site. i hope this will give you a better idea on the next step to take until the expert responds to your question in more detail within 24 to 48 hours.
Lyle W , August 08, 2012
your symptoms indicate that you may have a problem with a stuck key on that control panel of the dishwasher. that link for a previous answer provides some good troubleshooting for that type of failure. i recommend that you shut off the house circuit breaker for the dishwasher for 5 minutes. that may reset the control board so that the dishwasher will work properly. it has a small chance of working but it is worth a try. if the control behaves in the same manner after resetting the breaker to restore power, then you will probably need to replace that control panel.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
I can help you today.
Hello, My son is almost 6 years old and he goes to school. He is capable to read very well and decode letters and sentences very well, but when he reads a paragraph he's capable of reading it, however I have to explain it to him ore than once for him to understand it. Is this normal for his age?
I would not be worried about your son's comprehension skills. At his age he is more focused on decoding words and actually reading. Comprehending full paragraphs may not be part of his skill set yet. I would suggest that you let him read one or two sentences and then ask him about what he read, is there any connections he can make between the text and himself. For example: If he is reading about "Joe getting caught in the rain", helping him connect to the sentence by saying "remember the time we got caught in the rain" is one way he can learn strategies that will help. Learning how to comprehend reading material is something that some children do better than others and when young children are expending energy on decoding and reading words they get "lost" on the comprehension. It's just too much for their "brains" to handle. I hope this helps.
This helps a lot. Thank you very much. I believe you are very correct, as he concentrates on decoding the words more than comprehension and asks why this word is written this way as opposed to another way.
Sometimes though I would be reading the story and find he did not comprehend. I find it easier for him to understand when we read non-fiction books.
I am glad this was helpful. Decoding is an important skill and if he is accomplished at decoding the comprehension will follow, give him some strategies as suggested above, something that will make him think about what he is reading rather than just reading words.
He is exhibiting curiosity which is important in learning. If that's the case then I would encourage you to continue with reading non fiction.
Great. thank you again very much for your help
You are very welcome.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - Nearly 70 years after he and his family were thrown into concentration camps by the Nazis, a Suncoast man is sharing his story. Holocaust survivor Cesare Frustaci says he's still fighting antisemitism one speech at a time.
The memories now decades old are still fresh in his mind. "My mother being a Hungarian Jew was expelled from Italy."
At just seven years old they were torn apart. "Because of the Nazis they were establishing ghettos and my mother had to go into a ghetto."
Because his father an Italian composer was Catholic he initially was not forced into the camp with her. "I survived for a number of months hiding in a cellar."
He was later detained in a juvenile camp until the end of the war. "In 1945 the Soviet red army liberated me from the camp."
Cesar as his friends call him says his mother Margit Wolf a trained ballerina visited nearly 200 villages until he was found. "She visited with a picture of mine showing all around if anybody had seen this child."
Memories like this are too hard for many Holocaust survivors to even discuss. "For 60 years I never said anything to anybody."
He no longer remains quite. "When I came to know this situation of the deniers I decided to open my mouth."
He now speaks locally and around the country about the ordeal. Combating he says an active movement of those who deny the Holocaust even happened. "I offer my testimony. Yes, I have seen it. Yes, I was apart of it. Nobody can say that the Jews, Israel, or the United States had fabricated this."
Determined to remind some and teach a new generation about how intolerance should remain intolerable. "It rarely happens that one person can make a difference but I try."
Frustaci is active in speaking to local schools and organizations. He will be speaking at the Hope Lutheran Church in Port Charlotte during a mass there this Sunday at 7pm.

UPDATED 4.15pm: While the rains is easing, the winds persist and a severe weather warning is still current for the Illawarra.
NSW SES say they have 325 volunteers at work in the field dealing with uprooted trees and fallen branches and leaking roofs.
Earlier: THE Bureau of Meteorology reissued its severe weather warning for today as roads around the region continue to experience flooding and school events are cancelled.
Roads and Maritime Services have reminded skippers and owners of small craft should be on high alert and check the conditions before considering crossing a coastal bar or heading offshore.
Strong winds can also cause dangerous conditions for vessels on moorings which have been poorly maintained.
Skippers are advised to:
• Check the official weather forecast before and during boating
• Ensure the boat and its equipment is suitable for the conditions
• Log on/off with a Marine Rescue NSW marine radio base for every trip offshore
• Wear a lifejacket.
2pm: Illawarra South Coast region reports more than 150 calls for assistance.
The South Coast Primary Athletics set down for Tuesday, August 19 at Beaton Park has been postponed.
The new date for the South Coast carnival will now be Tuesday, August 26 (in place of the selection trials).
The selection trials will be moved to either Monday, September 1 or Tuesday, September 2 (to be confirmed)
Kiama Public School has also postponed its stage 1 Garden Fete - planned for Tuesday. It will be rescheduled.
The Bureau of Meteorology is expecting wet weather for the next 24 hours.
12.25pm: Kiama Council advises Swamp Road, Jamberoo is closed to traffic until further notice due to flooding.
The BOM advises the whole system is expected to start moving away from the coast Tuesday morning.
Winds are generating dangerous surf conditions in the South, Illawarra, Sydney Metropolitan and Hunter coasts.
Damaging winds around 65 km/h with peak gusts of 90 km/h are forecast .
ALBION PARK: #IllawarraHwy closed in both directions due to flooding. Expect delays.— Live Traffic NSW (@LiveTrafficNSW) August 18, 2014
Rainfall in the 24 hours rainfall from 9am Sunday: 197mm recorded in Porters Creek (inland from Ulladulla), 170mm in Mongarlowe (in South Coast near Braidwood).
24 Hours highest wind gusts: 120 km/h Wattamolla (Royal National Park), 94 km/h Molineaux Point and 91 km/h in Kiama.
11.30am: There is flooding on the Illawarra Highway. Closed in both directions
The SES has listed the following roads to watch
* Princes Highway: Heavily affected during heavy rainfall and can result in the complete or partial closure of many traffic lanes in both Northern and Southern directions;
* Station Road: Between Princes Highway and Black Street can be affected by the flooding from Horsley Creek;
*Illawarra Highway: Between Croome Lane and Taylor Street can be affected by flooding by the Macquarie Rivulet and has a history of being closed for a number of days during intense rain periods;
*Tongarra Road: Between Croome Road and Stapleton Avenue can be affected by flooding from Frazers Creek and also flooding from the Macquarie Rivulet;
*Calderwood Road: Known to be affected by flooding the Macquarie Rivulet; and
*Industrial Road: Known to be affected during heavy rainfall.
*Other locations, including the suburbs of Albion Park Rail, Shellharbour Centre and Warilla, are known hotspots for being heavily affected and flooded during intense rain periods and should be avoided if possible.
9.30am: Kiama has emerged relatively unscathed so far from the wet and windy weather, but Shellharbour hasn't been so lucky and more bad weather is expected throughout the day.
SES crews in the Shellharbour area are still fielding calls from assistance following the strong winds and heavy rain that have battered the region.
Crews from across Shellharbour have responded to calls ranging from leaking roofs to flood rescues.
"We've got about 20 calls so far, most of them have been for leaking roofs and water coming into houses and garages and they're still coming in a steady stream," SES Illawarra South Coast incident controller Ashley Sullivan said.
"The Shellharbour SES Unit was called to a flood rescue at Albion Park yesterday and we saw some significant flooding on Macquarie Pass as well.
"It's definitely a good time to remind people to not drive through flood water, even if you think you can make it through, just don't even think about it."
While crews in the Shellharbour area were kept busy, Kiama emerged relatively unscathed with only the Kiama SES Unit only having three outstanding jobs at around 9am this morning.
The low number of calls were despite a peak gust of 91km/hr being reported off Kiama at 2.30am.
"Given the ferocity of the weather it's been quite surprising that we haven't had more call outs," Kiama SES deputy controller John Wall said.
"The jobs we have had have been leaking roofs and we had a tree down at Jamberoo that council looked after and another tree down in Gerringong that took out some powerlines."
Mr Wall said people should still take care, especially around the ocean with heavy surf pounding the coastline.
"We've got about 20 calls so far, most of them have been for leaking roofs and water coming into houses and garages and they're still coming in a steady stream," SES Illawarra South Coast incident controller Ashley Sullivan said.
"The Shellharbour SES Unit was called to a flood rescue at Albion Park yesterday and we saw some significant flooding on Macquarie Pass as well.
Our volunteers have responded to more than 500 call-outs across Sydney, the Illawarra and South Coast in the past... http://t.co/RO9RPcyaEx— NSW SES (@NSWSES) August 18, 2014
"It's definitely a good time to remind people to not drive through flood water, even if you think you can make it through, just don't even think about it."
The wet and windy conditions are expected to continue throughout the day with the Bureau of Meteorology issuing a a severe weather warning for the Illawarra.
Damaging winds around 65 km/h with peak gusts of 100 km/h are forecast for parts of the Illawarra and South Coast forecast districts.
Dangerous surf with significant wave heights 4 to 5 metres expected as well as thunderstorms and heavy rain.

Consumer Confidence Hits Nine Month Low
We're feeling worse about the economy. Consumer confidence unexpectedly dipped to its lowest level in nine months. The Conference Board says its index of consumer attitudes fell to 60.6 from a downwardly revised 65.4 in July. Economists had expected an increase to 66.
"What we're seeing here is consumer anxiety. Are we going to get fooled yet again?" said Ken Goldstein, Economist at the Conference Board. "In three years, we've been disappointed, thinking that the economy is going to improve a little bit only to find out it didn't happen."
This year, the index declined in January, rose in February and then posted four months of declines before registering an increase in July. August's reading indicates that the gains in the job and housing markets aren't big enough to put to rest Americans' economic fears.
"The concern isn't over where we are right now, but wondering whether this small improvement is here to stay," said Goldstein. "If that is the case, then consumer confidence may bump up over the next couple of months, which could make for a decent holiday shopping season for retailers. But, if that isn't the case and numbers beging to falter, consumers will be very disappointed yet again. Basically, they are taking the wait-and-see approach for right now."

Greetings, all. I have configured an IPSEC tunnel between two sites.
The left site:
-is protected by m0n0 with a WAN address of a.b.c.d
-has an internal network 10.0.0.0/24
-all hosts are outbound NAT'ed to a.b.c.d
-contains a host 10.0.0.4
The right site
-is protected by a Linksys VPN "firewall" with a WAN address of w.x.y.z
-has an internal network 10.0.100.0/24
-all hosts are outbound NAT'ed to w.x.y.z
-contains a host 10.0.100.2
The tunnel is a host to host tunnel with the left host being 10.0.0.4
and the right host 10.0.100.2
The tunnel can be successfully established, but no traffic flows.
Furthermore, any attempt to contact the right host from the left host
results in a block entry in the m0n0 firewall log, as though m0n0 isn't
recognising that that the packet should be encapsulated and sent through
the tunnel. The Linksys doesn't show any traffic arriving across the
A typical m0n0 log entry:
13:24:25.252157 fxp0 @0:22 b 10.0.0.4,4663 -> 10.0.100.2,7001 PR tcp len
1. I tried adding a LAN rule to allow the traffic, but while that stops
the log entry, the traffic still doesn't move across.
2. I tried turning off the *"Block private networks" on the WAN
interface of m0n0, but that had no effect.
* **
I suspect the problem may have something to do with the NAT side of
things, but I'm not sure what to try.
Any comments or suggestions?
Gordon Day.

Awesomely Affordable: 20 Shoppable Picks From H&M's New E-Commerce Store
H&M has long been the mecca of affordable, adorable, celebrity-approved clothes, trendy pieces and simple classics alike, but there's always been a catch: while you could browse a bit of the (massive) selection on their website, you could only actually purchase the items in one of their hundreds of international stores. The company has always been pretty vague on the subject of launching e-commerce … until, like, yesterday, when they announced that they'd be launching a new shoppable site as of today. Rejoice! Now you can shop thousands of amazing H&M picks from the comfort of your home. The selection is expansive, and a little overwhelming, so I've gone ahead and plucked 20 perfect pieces from the site. The best part? Every single item is under $50.

Discussion in 'Members Zone' started by stag hunter, Jun 9, 2005.
Fifty Stars are sacred to me.
Thought you'd like to know that iff you don't smoke cigars ...someone else has your sig
I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, hence the Dallas. The Knight part is another hobby of mine. Medieval reenactment, a full-contact martial art called the Society for a Creative Anachronism. www.SCA.org if you are interested.
Pics if you are interested too. I'm in several of them. White and red stripes with a white hand on a black background as my device on my shield, and I usually wear black and red. Been involved with it for 16 years now, and I've been teaching it for 12 of them.
Mine is simple enough....
I live in Dayton, OHIO.. and I am a Cowboy fan..
LOL.. and Dayton_Cowboy_Fan was just too darn long to type out... I'm a lazy typist
Do you only do your re-inactments in Texas? There is a festival in the area between Dayton and Cincinnati that happens late in the summer.
Mine is a carry-over from work. I was a Hub manager at FedEx back in the 80's and early 90's. Pretty vocal and demanding. One of my lead people started calling me "boss man" and now nearly everyone calls me that.
For those that surf other boards, I use that screen name everywhere.
Mine is due to the fact that my favorite teams began with C...... Dallas Cowboys, Louisville Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.
I was born in 1953.
I have been a Cowboys fan since the beginning 1960, a Cubs fan since 1965 and a Cardinal fan since 1968.
I am confident this year that the Cowboys will win the East and the Cards will win the Big East. Cubs is wait until next year.......as always.
Mine stems from my location, (Canada) which most of you think is frozen year round and my name. We Canucks like to be quietly obvious.
Hey, chin up...look the RedSox won last year...anything is possible.
And look at how far you've come in three short years.
We're all proud of ya.
Damn you blew my cover
Peacock is my last name. AJA are the initials of my wife, son, and daughter in order.
It's not like there's anything wrong with smoking cigars ...
My handle comes from a few years back when I was playing fantasy football. My team's name was the "Sidden-Nancy Pistols". It was a reference to the Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious (the bass player) and his girlfriend Nancy Spungeon (whom he murdered). Get it? "Sid-and-Nancy Pistols"?
Anyway, I went by Pistol Dave for the longest time until I got into an argument with another guy who posted frequently on an older Cowboys board (and who was often banned for being a jerk). I pretty much blasted the guy for being such an idiot, and another poster claimed I had given the guy "both barrels". He suggested I was really "Shotgun Dave".
And there you have it.
Oh so you know Banned_In_Austin
Lurkercowboy because I used to lurk and rarely post.
Once upon a time, there was this really fast guy who .....
Forget it. If you don't know, you're too young.
The SCA is world-wide and I'd bet you just about anything that at least 50% of the folks at that fair are registered members of the SCA. I do my reenactments in Texas and Oklahoma mostly, with forays into Mississippi once a year for a War with people from there and Florida. People do this all over the world.
Cool stuff either way.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: The HUB-ee is a type of robot servo but designed for wheels, in fact it is a wheel, but it is also a motor, a sensor and a motor controller. What's that? Did we just blow your mind?
When you want to add wheels to your robot you would normally start with a whole collection of parts: The motor and gearbox, a motor driver board, and maybe some sensors for measuring wheel speed and a controller to count revolutions or provide closed loop speed control. Well, the folks over at Creative Robotics thought it would be handy if you could just buy a wheel that had all of those things built in, so they designed HUB-ee - just bolt it onto a chassis, apply power and away you go!
The HUB-ee is easy to mount, too! There are two threaded inserts for M3 bolts built in, there's also a right angle bracket included for situations when you can't go horizontal into the chassis. The mounting holes are even LEGO® lug compatible!! HUB-ee uses Micro-MaTch connectors to keep electrical connections tight and easily changed, check out the related items for mating connectors.
Cool… but when it costs 85.5 just to get two wheels spinning i'm tempted to just build my own setup for half the cost if i'm building a robot. However, this could be a useful for some of the Lego Teams I mentor.
Where are the tracks? Just use LEGO tracks?
What does it mean by "180:1 Metric"?
Thats the Gear Ratio
Two for one sale!
It's for one or kit of two?
A single wheel

Cape Forchu Lighthouse in Yarmouth. CARLA ALLEN PHOTO
By Carla Allen
The Cape Forchu Lighthouse is ramping up for a busy season says the Friends of Yarmouth Light president, and the new Leif Erikson Park walking trail is an important component.
"It's used daily and is bringing people to the lighthouse property all the time," said Lorna Saulnier.
A lighthouse keeper tour guide will be a new addition and will stroll the property with groups, describing the 174-year history of the beacon. The Municipality of Yarmouth will soon be installing interpretive panels along the trail.
Beginning some time in early May, the Mug Up tearoom will remain open in the evenings as the tourist season gets underway.
The Friends of the Yarmouth Light group is looking for corporate or private sponsorship for a six-seat concierge cart that can be used for those who are mobility-challenged. They have received funding for 50 per cent of the cost of the cart.
The gift shop, located in a building on the east side of the property, is being moved into renovated quarters in the same building as the tearoom. Ice cream cones will also be available this summer on site.
The former gift shop building will remain empty for the time being but once sufficient funding has been obtained it may be developed into a restaurant in future years.
A giant chair on the property that was destroyed during the March 26 blizzard is to be replaced.
On Saturday, May 3, the Veteran Firefighters' Association is hosting a fundraising supper of creamed lobster at the Yarmouth Lion's Club. Following this the Yarmouth Art Society will hold an art auction. Proceeds from both events are for the Friends of the Yarmouth Light, which is responsible for managing and operating the property. Tickets for the supper are $20 and are available at the Bank of Montreal or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our panelists:
Brooke Berman is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter. Originally trained as an actor and solo performer in the experimental theater, Brooke began performing her own work on the Lower East Side of Manhattan before receiving formal training in playwriting from the Juilliard School. Her play Hunting and Gathering, which premiered at Primary Stages, directed by Leigh Silverman, was named one of the Ten Best of 2008 by New York Magazine. Her memoir, No Place Like Home, published by Random House, was released in June, 2010.
Brooke has taught as a guest artist in the New York City public school system and at colleges including Eugene Lang, Fordham, and Barnard, as well as privately through the "24 With 5 Teaching Collective" which she co-created at New Dramatists. She spent five years as the Director of the Playwrights Unit for MCC Theater's Youth Company, a free after-school program for NYC youth. She has mentored with the Young Storytellers Foundation in Los Angeles and Young Playwrights in New York. Brooke attended Barnard College and is a graduate of The Juilliard School. She is a member of the Dramatists Guild, PEN and the MCC Playwrights Coalition.
She currently lives in Los Angeles with her fiancé, writer Gordon Haber.
Meghan Daum is the author, most recently, of Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived In That House, a memoir about real estate addiction, published in May 2010 by Knopf. Since 2005, she has been a weekly opinion columnist at the Los Angeles Times. Meghan is also the author of the essay collection My Misspent Youth and the novel The Quality of Life Report. She has contributed to public radio programs such as This American Life and Marketplace and her articles and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, GQ, Vogue, and The New York Times, among other publications. She lives in Los Angeles.
Mark Salzman is widely known for his award-winning 1986 memoir Iron and Silk and for his starring role in the film of the same name. He is the author of two other memoirs, Lost in Place: Growing Up Absurd in Suburbia and True Notebooks and three novels, The Laughing Sutra, The Soloist, and Lying Awake. A formerly devoted cellist, Salzman played on the soundtrack to several films and performed with Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax at Lincoln Center. Then he had kids; sayonara cello. He also starred, along with three others, in his wife Jessica Yu's 2007 film about human obsession and extremism, The Protagonist. Salzman is currently working on a book about writer's block. It isn't going well.
D. J. Waldie is the author of the Holy Land: A Suburban Memoir and other books about Southern California. D. J. Waldie is a contributing writer at Los Angeles magazine and a contributing editor for the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Review of Books. His book reviews and commentary have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. D. J. Waldie has been a city official of Lakewood since 1977. He lives a not-quite-middle-class life in Lakewood, in the house his parents bought in 1946. Here is what the memoirist Patricia Hampl said about Holy Land: "This book captivated me when it first came out. It still astonishes. It's no easier to describe now than it was before it became a classic of American autobiography. Waldie's range is staggering – from intimate, touchingly respectful revelations of family life and spiritual reality to a precise history of land development and public policy regarding water use (and don't imagine this is the boring part). Waldie has written nothing less than the spiritual autobiography of the midcentury American suburban dream. It proves to be a subject worthy of tragedy and of his remarkable elegy."
Joshuah Bearman is a former editor and writer at the LA Weekly. He has written for Harpers, McSweeneys, Wired, Rolling Stone, and contributes to This American Life.

Hi all. It's Carp again. Thanks for the comments. Glad some of you guys and ladies remember me from yesteryear. I spent a fair amount of time (about 22 years) with the Blueshirts in a previous life.
You're right about Shanahan. They should have him on ice until Game 1.
Here are some more Renney answers from today's Q and A:
About the day off: "Giving them a chance to regroup a little bit. We've gone eight days without a day off and it's important to give them chance to take a deep breath and give themselves a chance to focus on their next opponent at their leisure, if you will, and also a chance to give the coaching staff a chance to put some things together to get them ready.â€
He was asked if there could be any surprises since the two teams know each other so well.
"We've got lots of things up our sleeves,"  he smiled. Then he said,  "Zero.
"We've known each other well, let's face it. We've played each other eight times, great games. Personally I like coaching against Brent. He keeps me on my toes. He makes me think my way through a game, which is always important for a coach. I like that. But, really, I don't know that there will be too many surprises in this series.â€
Asked if he could give an example of how Sutter keeps him on his toes, Renney smiled and answered, "No.â€
On what having a hot Jaromir Jagr going into the playoffs means:
"Jaromir's played well, for me anyway, the whole season. I think what it translates into for us under these circumstances is a guy that can really get us to where we need to go. He's a huge leader on our team and a great, great player in this league, and he will be until he decides he doesn't want to play anymore, an d the bottom line is he wants to play, and that's exciting for All of us because he's a guy we can feed off of.â€
On whether Gomez is still affected by his late-season injury:
"He would suggest otherwise, but I would say there's a little bit of an impact there. He's not exactly where he wants to be as a player, but this is Scott Gomez at the most important time of the year and for him the most fun time of the year. I know we can count on Scotty Gomez to be a great player for us moving forward and he'll play a significant role in where we end up.â€
Renney also said he's glad that Gomez gets booed every time he touches the puck at the Rock.
"I think it's outstanding," he said. "I love it and I think Scotty Gomez does, too. That's the type of competitor he is. So I don't think it will faze him one bit. I think it'll just crank him up.â€
His message to the team, especially the guys who haven't been through the playoffs much:
"First of all enjoy it. You know, drink it up, and learn by it, no question about that. You're in the lineup, you're playing for a reason, don't deviate from what you've offered up for us in the first place. Go play and do everything you can with it and what you're all about to make a difference.â€
That's it for now. Check out my column tomorrow in The Journal News and LoHud.com.

But she hits the mark more than she misses, e.g., a debauched rock star is described as looking like "a Pierrot gone bad."
When Druz visited Crimea before, he said, he felt disturbed by the debauched atmosphere.
He and McAvoy embark on debauched trip to Germany which unfolds manically to the soundtrack of "99 Red Balloons."
The designer Alexander Wang has built a multimillion-dollar business through his savvy exploitation of an urban, debauched look.
Will readers ever get enough of the debauched, smoke-filled nightclubs of wartime Europe?
Greenhill, at first industrious, became acquainted with the players, and fell into debauched courses.
Like other debauched characters, he ate little or nothing for breakfast.
In these we are told that she had "checked the rage of reigning vice that had debauched the stage."
They are insolent, debauched, unjust; they defy the established right.
He is not now the debauched ignoramus which has made the English sailor a proverb all over the world.
1590s, from Middle French débaucher "entice from work or duty," from Old French desbaucher "to lead astray," supposedly literally "to trim (wood) to make a beam" (from bauch "beam," from Frankish balk or some other Germanic source akin to English balk). A sense of "shaving" something away, perhaps, but the root is also said to be a word meaning "workshop," which gets toward the notion of "to lure someone off the job;" either way the sense evolution is unclear.

Additional Information on Faustino Rioja Gran Reserva i Tempranillo 2001
Winery Faustino
Varietal: TempranilloWithout any doubt, the flagship grape varietal of Spain is the Tempranillo. This fine grape varietal has since been grown in several other countries around the world, and continues to be respected and admired for its deep ruby red color, its strong tannins, and the complex and delicious flavors it carries so well. Plum, vanilla, leather, tobacco and herb are just some of the characteristic flavors found in this black skinned grape varietal, and its power and fullness of features makes it a common grape for use in blended wines of exceptional quality. Tempranillo grapes thrive best in regions with a combination of bright, hot sunshine, and cooling breezes, where they can ripen fully and then be aged in oak barrels to mellow, become more rounded and allow their fascinating nature to come forward.
Region: La RiojaLa Rioja is by far the most famous wine region of Spain, and remains one of the world's great wine producing regions, consistently offering deep, complex red wines of character and distinction, partly due to the fact that La Rioja benefits from excellent soils, rich in minerals and nutrients, and plenty of sunshine. The climatic conditions allow the fine grape varietals to reach full ripeness and express plenty of the best features of their terroir, making La Rioja wines some of the most interesting to have ever come out of Europe. The Cantabrian mountains to the north provide the perfect shelter from the colder, wetter influences of the Atlantic oceans, and in the beloved vineyards of La Rioja, wineries have been cultivating exceedingly flavorful Tempranillo grapes for generations for the inclusion in their fine single variety and blended wines.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Rep. Adam Schiff and Congresswoman Judy Chu Wednesday supported President Obama's declaration of support for same-sex marriage, which the president announced during an interview with ABC News.
Obama is the first sitting president to endorse the politically divisive issue.
Schiff, D-Pasadena, applauded Obama's actions and said he hopes the president's support can help legal same-sex marriage become "the law of the land." Schiff was an original co-sponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act.
"The President's strong statement is something that I am proud to support, and an issue of great significance to the country," Schiff said. "Marriage equality extends one of our most basic rights of citizenship to all Americans - that is, the right to marry the person you love."
In response to questions about Obama's political timing, Chu, D-El Monte, said she thinks the president's declaration was "gracious."
"I think that he has shown that he is an inclusive person," Chu said. "I think there are those that might not be comfortable with such a decision but I think he is being fair to this whole group of people who have been committed to one another for, in some cases, decades and were not able to get equal rights."
And it wasn't just politicians cheered Obama's statements.
The Rev. Susan Russell of All Saints Church in Pasadena said Obama's support for same-sex marriage is especially meaningful after yesterday's vote in North Carolina for an initiative effectively banning it.
"Coming on the heels of yesterday's shameful exercise of ballot box bigotry in North Carolina, President Obama's strong, supportive stand for equality today gives both hope and challenge to all those who yearn for our nation to grow into its pledge to `liberty and justice for all,"' Russell said.
But, she said, the campaign for marriage rights is not over yet.
"There are miles to go before we rest in the journey to marriage equality, but today's statement by President Obama is a great step forward and one to rejoice and be glad in," Russell said.

They've got fame, fans flocking to their Jack Wills-socked lil' feet, and it seems they've racked up a stonking great fortune too.
Following phenomenal success on both sides of the Atlantic, the One Direction boys have accumulated an estimated personal wealth of £15million each. In two years.
But those boys aren't letting it go to their heads. Oh no.
So Louis Tomlinson hasn't bought giant £10,000 Spiderman and Ironman figurines and his own football team.
And Liam Payne hasn't developed a designer watch fetish and nor has Zayn Malik treated himself to a Bentley and two life-sized mannequin models of himself, etc, etc. Good grief, no.
Well, actually, yes they have.
Which might explain why the youngsters are signing up with one of the UK's leading asset management companies.
The quintet, also including Harry Styles and Niall Horan, have been advised by industry bosses to take on Grant Thornton, the company that looks after all the National Lottery big-money winners.
A source said: "Their success is quite staggering - so are the profits coming with it. The lads had an incredible 2012 and this year looks even bigger.
"Although they're all mature for their age, they are still five young boys at heart, and have all made mistakes – it's part of growing up.
"They've now been assigned a small team at one of the country's top money service providers who will be advising the boys on matters of tax, capital and investment.
"One Direction have become one of Sony's biggest draws and the label wants to make sure the guys are looked after."
Not surprisingly, the five-piece who came in third behind Matt Cardle on 2010's X Factor, have developed some finer tastes of late.
They are now more likely to be found in a Michelin-starred restaurant than Maccy D's.
Liam, for example, has a penchant for pricey timepieces, shelling out a whopping £13,000 on a Hublot as well as £3,000 on a designer Breitling.
The 19-year-old also treated on-off girlfriend Danielle Peazer to a £50,000 Audi TT for her birthday and forked out £3,000 for a holiday to the Bahamas last summer.
Louis and Harry, meanwhile, are both car-mad.
Louis, 21, who owns a £45,000 Porsche and a £90,000 Range Rover, also splashed out £17,000 on a Mini for his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
And Harry, 18, owns a £100,000 Audi R8 Coupe, a £60,000 Range Rover Sport as well as a £80,000 classic Porsche.
Well, beats rolling around on a bed of £50 notes...
Last night a spokesman for the band declined to comment.

Incorporated's Box Slot Light was developed as a lighting solution for the 9/11 Memorial Exhibition. The exhibitions walls needed to be evenly lit in a clean modern way from the ground. The Box Slot was our translation of this idea into a fixture. It can use LED or T5 fluorescent tubes and comes in black, white or walnut finishes.

I new to monowall and am having an issue regardng the WAN port. The problem is that it doesn't
seem to be active. i have a fiber connection going to a Cisco 1800 series and then to the monowall.
But nobodiy's home. The lights dont even come on at the port. When I hook up another router
eveything works fine. I figure that I just missed some thing stupid. I have assigned the ports.
I'm running 1.11 on a Soekris 4801. I have assigned different ports to make sure that there was no
hardware issue. They all work, just not when the WAN is plugged in the Cisco. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

|Descent little crag. Great, if you consider the location and distance from everywhere in southern nh. It's great change of pace from p-way, stone house, and the southern Maine crags. Some really good existing lines, TONS of potential if that is your thing. Minimal bugs. The crag needs a little tlc and traffic.

Careless world.
I've been noticing random shootings, countless life's taken, and I don't know why. We had a guy come to Walgreens only to jump in the pharmacy, swallow a bottle of Vicodin and then blow his head off. Then there's the recent San Antonio shooting. There's so many and it's getting out hand. I feel like buying a bat and keeping it in my trunk. Is your family safe?

People have always been crazy. It's just that with the internet and so many forms of media, you hear about it more often and to be honest it's often dramatized. Not always, but very often. Also, people have more resources and technology, plus getting their ideas from other people (eg. the internet) allows them to fulfill their crazy thoughts in all new ways.
My opinion is that it all comes down to your upbringing. Even people with negative psychological tendencies can apply them in a positive way with discipline and firm, respectful parenting. And people with totally normal brains can use them for evil when raised by weak or immature parents. My question is... why don't we teach parenting as a standard part of the curriculum? In my 17 years of formal education, I was never required to take a parenting class of any kind, yet it's the #1 most important thing for the generations that follow. So far it's been that kids with good parents will usually treat their kids the same way. Kids with bad or absent parents might flip 180 degrees and be overbearing on their kids. Kids with strict or abusive parents might be too kind to their kids and let them get away with things which leads to them having manipulative personalities.
Good luck with that bat in the trunk of your car. Hope it works out for you.
There are certain facts when raising a child about what you should and should not do. For example, don't do crystal meth in front of your kids. Don't let them play with your guns, and teach them proper gun safety. Punish them when they lie. Don't use candy or toys as leverage.
These are just a few I can think of, based on my observations. They're really quite simple, and some people don't get it.
Smoke a bowl.
This sh!t has always happened, and you're living in the safest time period ever. You just hear about the psychos now, while your grandparents didn't.
bro this happened in Abraham Lincoln's time, but back then everyone wasn't a bunch of c
god I love this video
surveilance cameras, keyless deadbolts and 700 dollar cohete.
and a bottle of wasp spray under the bed.
Our culture has a lot of issues. A good book to read is Terror at Beslan by John Giduck, or pretty much any book written by
LTC David Grossman, with particular attention to the book Stop Teaching our Kids to Kill.
We are essentially conditioning our children to be apathetic and indifferent to everything, including violence. We glorify violence in pretty much every aspect of media, from TV and movies to video games and internet videos.
With particular reference to the mentally ill, we have a lot more recognizable mental illness now. This is exacerbated by medication and self-medication issues, of course. However, this issue is also made worse by the media that is available. You take someone who is already experiencing an extreme schizo-affective disorder, narcissism or outright schizophrenia, and you show them TV shows like Doomsday Preppers, or the myriad of shows about the end of the Mayan calendar, and now you've basically poked and prodded someone already on the edge and pushed them over that edge.
Look into the ghettos or "urban" communities where kids are taught from a very young age that materialism is the most important thing in the world, and that nobody will respect you if you don't have money, bling and a hot ride. These are kids who, if asked what they want to do when they grow up, will either say they want to be a pro athlete or a rapper. Nobody wants to be a doctor, lawyer, pilot or train engineer. They are inundated with influence from the only thing they see, which is the "urban" culture that glorifies irresponsibility, materialism and violence. Their role models are generally gang bangers who teach these kids that respect is earned through violence, killing, dealing drugs and disprespecting women.
Next, go to suburbia where kids are glued every waking hour to their Xbox360 or PS3. These kids will literally go up to a combat veteran and tell the vet all about war, just because they've played Call of Duty. They watch actual war footage on YouTube and all they do is go "COOL!" Completely desensitized to violence.
Or, take any kid aged 12-19, and look at how every aspect of their life is inertwined with Facebook and Twitter. The term "cyber-bullying" had to be invented to describe the amount of emotional anguish kids are experiencing because people talk crap about them online.
We have messed up laws and a legal system that is designed to prevent people from being held accountable for their actions. There are felons who have been arrested multiple times for possessing a firearm (felony in every state) that keep getting put on probation, likely followed by double-secret probation. Over and over. Yet, a law abiding citizen who neglects to pay a $200 tax fee so that they can take 1.5" off the length of a rifle barrel will face 5-10 years in federal prison. Data privacy laws protect sex offenders, as most sex offenders are not assigned risk levels (Level 1, 2 or 3), so most of their neighbors don't know they're convicted sex offenders. Etc etc etc.
We have a significant problem in this country, and so much of it is based around people who simply have no incentive to take responsibility for their own actions. All we do in this country is try to find ways to explain or justify things, and find ways to eliminate capabilities. Look at prisons- they're "rehabilitation" facilities. Prison is where you send someone to be contained because they cannot function responsibly in society, but we try and soften that because we don't want to treat criminals like criminals.
Long story short, nothing is new or changed for the amount of crazy that is out there. Simply the media reporting on more terrible things now than ever before.
Mandatory parenting classes? People the government SUCKS! Ask your parents for those lessons.

Health Care Plan Rebates Have Hidden Costs
June 4, 2012
A relatively obscure provision of the health care reform law establishes minimum loss ratios (MLRs) for health insurers, which places a cap on their administrative costs, marketing expenses and profits. The goal is to force plan operators to allocate a greater share of premiums directly to health care and preventative measures, say Jerry Ellig, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and Christopher Conover, a research scholar in the Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University.
However, the provision will also have a number of unintended consequences that Congress likely did not consider when passing the original law. Importantly, the MLRs discourage efforts to constrain fraud.
- The Kaiser Family Foundation recently reported that an estimated $1.3 billion in rebates will be delivered from health insurers to their customers for last year.
- These rebates are delivered by those plan operators that spent less than the MLR-required 80 to 85 percent of premiums on health care.
- However, efforts to fight fraud and limit its spread are designated by the MLR provision to be "bad" expenditures that do not count towards the 80-85 percent requirement.
- Supposing an insurance company is exactly at the maximum allowed spending on administrative costs, but it needs to spend an extra $100 to prevent $1,000 worth of fraud, it would choose not to do so because it would be penalized.
- Given that the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association estimates that fraud accounts for 3 percent to 10 percent of total health care spending, this problem is substantial.
Perhaps more importantly, by attempting to control profits, the law creates a perverse incentive for insurers to game the system.
- Experience shows us that when regulation limits profits and allows companies to pass on costs to consumers, it kills the incentive for cost control.
- The easiest way for a company to make profits look reasonable relative to cost is to raise prices.
- For example, 85 percent of a $16,000 annual family premium leaves a bigger profit than if the premium were only $15,000.
- As long as the company can convince regulators that the cost of medical care has gone up, it can justify higher premiums.

Sports TV broadcaster Setanta faces administration if it can't find £30m to pay the English Premier League for the rights to show football matches
Sports TV broadcaster Setanta could be on the brink of collapse and face administration "within days", according to the BBC.
Unless backers can provide more money to pay the English Premier League £30m, it could be in trouble. Setanta has already failed to pay the Scottish Premier League £3m it owes in television rights money.
Setanta also shows cricket, golf and rugby union, and has about 1.2 million subscribers. But analysts claim it is losing up to £100m a year.
Earlier this year Setanta lost the rights to show 46 live Premier League matches from 2010/2011.
Accountancy firm Deloitte is set to step in and run the firm if it goes into administration.

That grant established an endowment, and the activities of the JCCTL are funded by the interest earned by that endowment. The JCCTL provides faculty with opportunities to hone their pedagogical skills, explore collaborative and experiential learning techniques, and incorporate technological innovations. Behind its programs lie the beliefs that learning must occur both within and beyond the classroom and that faculty, staff, and students have much to teach one another.

I love to read, write, play a video game, having civil discourse with people who disagree with me, spending 15-30 minutes a day to research and learn new things, reading the news from various sources and taking long hot showers just to think.
I am not intimidated by children, quite the opposite actually. Children and I tend to get along very well, takes one to know one I guess.
However I prefer to be judged on my personality most of all, so I guess you can say my smart ass demeanor is what gets noticed most. I love to laugh, and I make no excuses for that lol.
Movies I guess anything that's either funny or scary.
Shows: hmmmm anything funny or documentaries.
Music: I have been listening to a lot of international music recently, mostly from the Asian coast countries.
Food: Favorite food is Japanese, but I will eat pretty much anything and I will try ANYTHING once.
2) Internet
3) My friends
4) My family
5) The ability to explore the world
6) Some source of music
