A RACING driver had a miracle escape after he flipped his car off a track at over 120mph before somersaulting twice in the air and landing sideways in a ditch.
Wallace Menzies, aged 42, incredibly walked away from the mangled wreckage with just cuts and bruises and a broken cheek bone following the horror crash on Sunday.
He had been competing in the century-old Shelsey Walsh hillclimb race when he lost control of his DJ Firestorm car on a bend at around 3.15pm.
Spectators watched on in horror as the vehicle careered off the closed public road and struck a high verge to driver's right.
As he lost control the bank sent the car flying through the air, flipping it twice before ploughing into the side of the steep hillside.
Wallace was left precariously balanced in the wreck of his hillclimb car for over 45 minutes as race marhalls and medics battled to free him and take him to hospital.
Amazingly, he was discharged just a few hours later having suffered a broken cheek bone, cuts to his face and bruised shoulders.
Race fan Tim Mason, from Malvern, who managed to photograph the crash, said the entire audience held their breath as the car left the road.
The 43-year-old IT Consultant, who was at the event with his five-year-old son Ben, said: "I've been going to Shelsley since I was a kid, and now my son is mad about cars he loves coming with me.
"I've seen quite a few crashes in my time there, but never, ever, anything like this one.
"Thank God he was in a modern race car with a safety tested carbon fibre tub, or I really don't think he would be with us now.
"My son was watching the speed trap they have just before the corner and reading out the speeds and the car before him was doing 136mph.
"I think he must have been doing 125mph at least when he left the road.
"He just lost control and hit the bank, that sent the car into the air and he just somersaulted down the road.
"When he came to a rest the marshals were there straight away, but it still took an age to get him out.
"We all held our breath I think, and when they eventually got him out and he put a thumb up above the blankets everyone was so relieved.
"I just happened to have my shutter open when the crash happened."
Wallace, who currently sits fifth in the British Hillclimb Championship, had been racing at the historic Shelsley Walsh event.
The race, which snakes 1000 yards (914m) up a Worcestershire hillside, is the oldest hillclimb event in the world having run continuously since 1905.
Specially tuned cars speed up the steep course hitting speeds of up to 140mph just inches from trees and steep drops.
Yesterday Wallace's relieved wife posted to an online forum for hillclimb racers that her husband had left hospital on Sunday night.
They were making their way back to their home in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, to already prepare for Wallace's next race in the Scottish village of Doune.
She wrote: "We left the hospital in the early hours of this morning. Wallace is OK apart from a broken cheek bone, facial cut and bruising to his face and shoulders.
"Could have been a lot worse. We stayed at Mike and Kath Halls and will make the journey north today.
"I am sure he'll make a speedy recovery and will be ready for Doune.
"A huge thanks to the rescue crew, marshals and everyone who helped or offered help, greatly appreciated. Xx"
A spokesman for the Midland Automobile Club, which runs the hillclimb, said: "Following Wallace Menzies accident on Sunday we are pleased to report he was released from hospital in the early hours of the morning.
"He had four stitches, a cracked cheekbone and bruising but was in good spirits saying he felt like he had been in a rough game of rugby and asking for his money back.
"He would like to thank the marshals and medics for their swift actions and hopes to be back on the track for the next round at Doune."

As 2010 comes to an end, I just thought I'd reflect on some of the things that stayed with me…
1. P!nk at the Grammys. Yeah…I know…this wasn't really "news" or anything, but I gotta be honest: this was one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen. It was like Cirque de Soleil mixed in with a bit of naughtiness and eloquence in addition to an amazing vocal all at the same time. I'm a HUGE fan of P!nk and this only solidified my crush on her. Oh…and she was SMOKIN' HOT, too!!
Watch the video HERE.
2. George Washington's overdue library books. What…you didn't hear about this?? Apparently, Washington signed out two books back in 1789 and forgot to return them. With the inclusion of inflation over the years, the late fine would be around $300,000. Fortunately, the New York Society Library didn't want payment for the books…they just wanted them returned.
3. Captain Phil Harris of "Deadliest Catch" passed away. I'm a huge fan of Deadliest Catch and it came as a huge shock to find out that Captain Harris passed away while filming last season's episodes. While he wasn't my favorite captain, he was a straight shooter and…above all else…he was a loving father who did whatever he could to show his sons a better way of doing things. He may be gone but he'll never be forgotten by those who enjoyed his 'no bullshit' attitude and good-ol-boy sense of humor.
4. The first topless hair salon opened in Australia. Hey guys (and some of you ladies)…wouldn't you like to actually ENJOY getting your hair cut? Well, travel on down to Hot Cuts in Sydney and you'll be able to get your hair styled by beautiful, topless hairdressers. Hair stylists? Hair ho's? C'mon…this story is so ridiculous it's awesome! I mean…how long will this place actually stay open? A year, maybe? Is this really what the world has been waiting for?? I just don't see the attraction of a topless hair salon. Okay…I might actually see the attraction, but it's not like I'm going to grow my hair out just to go there or anything.
5. Lady Gaga talented…weird…likes meat. Listen…I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy some of Lady Gaga's songs. I'm also going to admit that when she wants to, she can be a very attractive woman. But people…this chick is F*CKED UP. I know she wants to be a trend-setter and be the new-age Madonna and everything, but do you really need to wear a meat dress in order to make that happen? Can you not just be slightly weird and then let your talent speak for itself? I dunno…it's interesting and all, but at the end of the day will she want her ridiculousness to over-shadow her talent? It might get to the point where nobody takes her seriously anymore.
6. Lost ended with a giant "meh". I don't know if I was one of those people who felt like I had wasted five years of my life watching every episode of every season, but count me as one of those people who was kinda let down with the ending of the series. Sideways storylines? Meeting in the afterlife? It was all real but it wasn't? I was hoping for more bang for my buck, but I guess I got what I paid for.
7. It was cool to like Bret Michaels again. Kinda. Listen…I'm a Poison fan from WAAAAY back, so forgive me if I was just a bit happy to know that I could listen to Talk Dirty To Me one more time without feeling a ton of guilt about it. Between his battling illness and then winning The Apprentice and then having yet another reality tv show, this was the year of Bret Michaels. Kinda. Let's just say that 2010 was probably the best and worst year of Michaels' life.
8. Man v Food. I can't tell you the hours of joy that this show has brought me in 2010. It's totally wrong on so many levels, but I don't care. I have fun pretending to have my own battles with food. Hell…I even ate a large calzone while out with Sunshine and, once devoured, I made her take a picture of me doing the "man won" sign:
I know…it's sad but true.
So what about you? What stuck out for you in 2010?

Forum:VERY IMPORTANT USERPAGE NEWS
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Alright everyone, I found something out while viewing our mobile site a few days ago. For some people, their actual names are being displayed next to their Usernames on the mobile site/ the oasis skin. I realized it when I saw my own name next to my Username on my Userpage while in the Mobile view. A quick look-up, and I saw that I was/am not the only one whose real name is being shown next to their Username. For anyone interested, the page looks like this: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Woodburninator?&useskin=oasis The only difference being that I was able to delete my actual name from the page. I would suggest that everyone who is remotely interested in staying anonymous do the same. To do so, use the link I posted, but replace The_Woodburninator with your Username. Then, if your name is shown, put your cursor to the right of where it shows how many edits you have, and you should see an edit button. Click on that, and you will see where your name is, and how to delete it. Make sure you hit to save changes after deleting the name. Hopefully this will take care of the problem, but if there are any other places where real names are popping up, please let people know so that they can take care of this issue.

Ang has put together pics of all the Tier so you can choose which Tier you want to Transmogrify to. Best thing is Ang used Tauren pics so it's easy to look at. I've decided to go for Tier 6, that's the most tribal looking set there is. Looking forward to her next post, wonder if it will be weapons?

Additional Information
Wholesale Black - Nite-Ize S-Biner & Bottle Opener
Wholesale Carabiners, Rings & Ascenders
A carabiner or karabiner is a metal loop with a sprung or screwed gate. The loop part opposite the gate is referred to as the spine. It can quickly and reversibly connect components in safety-critical systems. Carabiners are widely used in sports requiring rope work, such as climbing, slacklining, caving ("Single Rope Technique"), canyoning, and sailing, and in industrial rope access work, such as construction or window cleaning. There are two types of carabiners, locking carabiners and non-locking carbiners. Locking carabiners have the same general shape as non-locking carabiners, but have an additional sleeve around the gate. The sleeve can be released along the gate and, when it is at one end of the gate, cannot be opened (except by releasing the sleeve and moving it to the other end of the gate). This provides security against the carabiner opening accidentally, for example, if struck against a rock or if caught in a loop of rope. The sleeve can be either auto-locking or a twist-lock. Carabiners are also useful in everyday life, for securing water bottles to belts, or pen knives etc. Cheap and colorful carabiners that vaguely resemble mountaineering carabiners are generally thinner, smaller and made of a lower grade metal and have become quite popular as keyrings or in other applications as a universal connector. They have an extremely simplified latching mechanism, without a pin to allow the gate to carry a load. Such novelty carabiners are typically marked with an explicit liability warning, e.g. "Not for climbing." Carabiners, Rings & Ascenders are also known as black climbing rope clips, mini aluminum locking chain, mountain lockers accessories, government issued rappelling rock keys, army navy belaying equipments, hiking gears, heavy duty screw gates, etc. Carabiners, Rings & Ascenders are commonly misspelled as carabiners screwgates, etc.

HEALTH chiefs have defended their skilled drivers following three ambulance crashes during a week.
Two crashes involved South Western Ambulance Service NHS ambulances, while the third was from the NHS South Central Ambulance Service.
No one was injured in either of the South Western ambulance incidents, but a man in his early 20s sustained leg and pelvic injuries during the accident involving the South Central ambulance in the New Forest. However, no patients were on board at the time and neither of the paramedics were injured.
South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) confirmed a car was in collision with an ambulance at 4.42pm, January 19, at Old Christchurch Road, Everton.
A SCAS spokesman said: "The ambulance was en route to an emergency call at the time of the incident.
"SCAS sent further resources to the incident to treat the casualties.
"One patient, a male in his 20s, was treated at the scene and taken to Southampton General Hospital.
"One patient sustained minor injuries and did not require any hospital treatment.
"An investigation is currently ongoing into the circumstances of the incident, so we cannot comment further."
Meanwhile, a spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service said their skilled drivers had been dealing with the same icy conditions that have gripped the nation in recent weeks.
This spokesman added: "The Trust's primary concern is the safety of both patients and staff.
Thankfully, no one was injured as a result of these two incidents and there were no adverse outcomes for patients.
"The recent adverse weather conditions have resulted in very challenging driving conditions across the south west for all road users."
Last Friday evening an ambulance left the road in Longmeadow Lane, Creekmoor, Poole, and crashed into a garden fence. No one was injured.
One week earlier, an ambulance was in collision with a Renault Clio car near the Shah of Persia pub, Longfleet Road, Poole, close to Poole Hospital.
Once again, no one was injured.

TORRINGTON -- Heads will bow or eyes will lift to the skies. Voices will be shared aloud or be silent one-on-one communication.
On May 3, millions across American will exercise their spiritual beliefs and freedoms on the 61st annual observance of the National Day of Prayer as they pray for the nation.
In Torrington, the public is invited to attend the local NDP event at Coe Park Civic Center at 7 p.m. Earlier in the day, from noon to 1 p.m. the NDP will be observed in Winsted at East End Park.
Emphasis of prayer will be on what the NDP organization calls the seven centers of power: government, military, media, business, education, church and family. The national theme for the 2012 event is "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalms 33:12)."
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. On January 25, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law the designation of the first Thursday in May as the annual observance for the National Day of Prayer.
For many years, the NDP was observed in Torrington with a small gathering of people around the flag at city hall. But four years ago, that changed when a core group of people moved to change the informal prayer time to a city-wide event.
"We wanted a place and a time when we could bring like-minded people together in prayer for our country on the National Day or Prayer," said event coordinator Angela Boratko.
In 2011, the Coe Park gathering drew about 100 people to the ceremony that includes not only prayer, but music and a call to worship. Boratko said attendance has fallen off a bit in the last couple of years because of more National Day of Prayer events springing up in surrounding towns.
"But that's okay," Boratko said. "As long as people are participating - wherever they're participating - it's encouraging."
Preparation for the May gathering begins in February with prayer meetings by the task force team that also includes Julia Bennett, Lorraine Cuatt, Carol Dziedzic, Sharon Kunay, Sylvia Zawadzkas and Walter Zawadzkas. As the culminating event nears, calls are made to local clergy to seek their participation.
This year those leading the prayer service - each touching on one of the seven centers of power - will include Rev. Ed Eastman and Chuck Lewis of Greenwoods Community Church in Ashley Falls, Mass.; Rev. Tom Drobena of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Torrington; Rev. Ron Boratko of Torrington Foursquare Church; Rev. Mike Oweskiw of Freedom Hills Christian Center in Torrington; and Wilber Boles of The Open Bible Church in Torrington.
The Boy Scouts will lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Carissa Conlogue, Mike Conlogue and Kevin Rush will bring the praise music from Greenwoods Community Church in Ashley Falls, Mass. And Michael Lacaille will sound a shofar as a call to worship.
For more information on the Torrington event, call 860-496-1580. For more information on the Winsted event, call 860-379-5190.

Beings other than Almighty Allah are merely His creations, and they have come into their existence and continue their existence only through His Will. It is Allah Who grants life and sustains that life which He created through His Mercy and His Boundless Compassion; it is Allah alone Who is omnipotent, and all of His creations are infinitely poor and depend on Him for their sustenance. They have no power nor abilities beyond that which our Lord has seen fit to bestow upon them through His eternal Wisdom. Therefore, there are no other living being that anyone can, or should, implore for help, mercy, favor, or blessings other than our Lord, Almighty Allah, He Who created all things.
A person who implores anyone or anything other than Allah, who asks false idols for mercy, benevolence, or who puts trust in any other thing other than Allah faces not only a horrific punishment in the Hereafter, but will also face emptiness, hopelessness and loneliness in the life of this world as well. Those who foolishly associate others with Allah are indeed among those who listen to the whisperings of the satan, and those who follow the path of the adversary are truly among the lost; their only hope of salvation is to turn in humble and sincere repentance toward our Lord, Almighty Allah, He Who created all things, and without whom one faces only forlong life in this world and an eternity of reproach and punishment in the next. Almighty Allah explains the predicament of those who associate others with Him in this verse from the Qur'an;
"...As for anyone who associates others with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from the sky and the birds had seized him and carried him away, or the wind had dropped him in a distant place." (Surat al-Hajj, 31)
The believers, in contrast, place their trust in Allah alone, and they are servants to Him and turn to our Lord alone for help; it is the believers who, through the boundless Mercy of our Lord, live lives filled with dignity, honor, and felicity. These people are "...those who have faith and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah..." (Surat ar-Ra'd, 28), as our Lord has revealed in the Qur'an. A believer whose heart and soul is satisfied with the remembrance of Allah needs nothing else because they have earned the highest possible honor; the good pleasure of our Lord, Almighty Allah.

Topic: Question about hand and foot syndrome from Xeloda?
Lauren woke up this morning and said her feet were starting to burn and they are kind of red. She said it is hard to walk on them. She has always had tough skin on the bottom from going barefoot a lot. I think it is the start of hand and foot syndrome from being on Xeloda. She didn't get this with 5-FU. Why would she get it with Xeloda? Anyway, my question is: What have you found to be the best cream or lotion?
Also, any tips you might have will be greatly appreciated. Gio put baby lotion on her feet tonight and she wrapped them in Saran Wrap and put short little socks on. Thanks.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

The most newsy point from NY Fed president William Dudley's speech today was his call for a change in exit strategy, urging the central bank to reinvest in its mortgage portfolio. But there was a lot more going on in the speech: Mr Dudley put a dovish spin on the Fed's inflation target. He said bank regulation may be driving down neutral interest rates, and he put markets on notice that how they price bonds will decide how the Fed changes interest rates.
(1) Inflation is coming
Mr Dudley's tone on inflation was different to the isn't-it-worringly-low type of remarks that Fed officials have tended to make recently. Instead, he expects inflation to head upwards, and seemed to be testing arguments for why Fed policy should not react.
"With respect to the outlook for prices, I think that inflation will drift upwards over the next year, getting closer to the FOMC's 2 percent objective for the personal consumption expenditure deflator . . . That said, I see little prospect of inflation climbing sharply over the next year or two. There still are considerable margins of excess capacity available in the economy—especially in the labor market—that should moderate price pressures."

A woman died after falling under a moving tube.
Firefighters and the London Ambulance Service (LAS) were called to Clapham South station at 9.20am yesterday morning.
The woman, who is believed to have been aged between 25 to 30 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokeswoman for the LAS said: "We were called at 9.22am to reports of a person under a train at Clapham South underground station.
"We sent two single responders in cars and a duty officer.
"Sadly, the patient was dead at the scene."
A spokeswoman for the British Transport Police BTS said: "BTP officers were called to Clapham South London Underground station on Sunday, February 3 after a report of a woman being struck by a southbound Northern line train.
"Officers from BTP and Metropolitan Police attended the incident, which was reported to BTP at 9.23am and is currently being treated as non-suspicious.
"Medics from London Ambulance Service also attended but the woman, believed to be in her thirties, was pronounced dead at the scene."
Clapham South station was closed for several hours while the Northern Line was suspended between Stockwell and Morden until 10.20am.
Tributes to the woman were posted on Twitter.
Jess Sinton said: "Too many people are jumping in front of tubes, just seen a body stretchered out of Clapham South, absolutely awful."

I don't think a monkey countdown is such a good thing. I don't want to be reminded that I am one day closer to the misery.
Yeah but you also aren't tied to a schedule. You go about it all willy nilly like where as me and my crazy ways like a schedule and a countdown - which I would have done for myself eventually!
Alright, fine. You do raise a good point. I was going through some papers on my desk this morning and found a copy of a 17 week marathon training program that I had printed out. I swear I had not looked at since a year ago at this time!
Speaking of countdown, how is training going so far for you, Shan? Not sure whose training plan you're using, but what was their suggestion for this week?
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
Hey Pam...have you looked at Pfitz plans? He has ones that short...get the book Advanced Marathoning.
I'm using a modified HH Int. Plan. I think... I claimed it as my own over a month ago and can't remember how i got there...
anyway, on tap for this week is:
So far so good! I took 2 days off over the weekend which was nice for my legs - I didn't even beat myself up because it was a cut-back week anyway. haha. So I'm back at it this week. Other than the long run the runs are feeling pretty routine - nothing really out of the norm. so that's really nice.
If'd you'd like to see the whole plan I'd be more than happy to share:
5-8-5-2-5-13-2 --- i've already changed this to fit in a 5k
The 2's are where off/cross training days were.
I'm looking at his 12 week Advanced Marathon training program though I want to peak at around 70-80 not 55 Of course that all depends on that I'm ready to go full speed come this Monday. I'll definitely look at getting the book.
Thanks Candice
I have no plan. I never have a plan. I like living on the edge. Okay, not really, the edge is kind of scary at times, I'm just horrible with planning. Things never go as planned so why set myself up for failure, I just skip the planning and see what happens.

On the heels of the WWE signing one of the best indy wrestlers in the world, El Generico, the heated point that all fans of him have made is this: Don't change a single thing about this guy. Mask, gimmick, wrestling style, nothing.
Of course, we all know his wrestling style will be tinkered with, but more importantly, we will all be waiting to see if he'll be El Generico or not.
2012 was a very good year of wrestling, and it all comes to an end next month with a slew of events. Events no one care about (I'm looking at you WWE), events people are indifferent about (Sorry TNA) and events people are truly buzzing about (ROH, Chikara, Extreme Rising). The Chikara card for "Under the Hood" looks pretty awesome and will be ending their year with a bang. Extreme Rising
WWE(F) has had millions of fans and these fans have seen the many different eras the E' has gone through, depending on the age of the fan of course. Between the WWWF in the 60s and 70s, to just the WWF of the 80s, mostly molded by characters and gimmicks than wrestling, to the Attitude Era of the 90s, Ruthless Agression for the early and mid 2000s, to where we are now with the PG era. But no era is
Last night, the big news that apparently trumped the WWE and World title matches, and trumped the whole theme of the Survivor Series, was the debuts of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Everyone was waiting for these debuts (out of Reigns really) and now they are here. While the debut was memorable, the big question is, what now?
Are they aligned with CM Punk? Will they
This weekend i'll be heading to ROHs 10th Anniversary show in NYC and I couldn't be more excited. The card is looking great, as usual and there has been a pretty good amount of build up to this event. So i'm excited for that. What i'm not excited about is what happens after this event. There is so much unsettled with this company that i'm actually quite concerned that this may be my last time watching

One of the things I like about travelling for Adobe is how it allows me to concentrate on work. Being in the hotel where the event is held removes the worry about occasional bad traffic situations common in asia, and the usual conundrum of the "normal" life where I live. A gym a few floors down my room, a bar at the lobby and of course a pool is literally a few steps away. And yes, despite of the work we have to finish, we've gotta admit that these facilities were always there for the taking.
I'm now in Bangkok for my first Production Studio Launch. Thanks to Bob and Hart for doing the Singapore Launch (I learned a lot in a day… so thank you thank you so much for the wealth of info!). It was fun that the guys were here for exactly 2 whole days I think, and then off to Australia they went.
We will be travelling to Kuala Lumpur – Malaysia, Jakarta – Indonesia, Manila-Philippines in the next few weeks, and our events will be back to back to back (that means, a press release on the Macromedia acquisition, the Acrobat 7 3D road show, and of course my new favorite — the Production Studio show). Just in case this is the place to go to register for our events.
Bangkok on Food
Som Tam is a must in Thailand. It's never the same anywhere else! And so I had Papaya salad with every meal since I arrived last night. And I'm still not tired of it.
Never ever miss the green curry beef/chicken/pork. The freshness of the basil, the creaminess of the coconut milk and the heat of the chilli… coupled with a scoop of just-cooked steaming fragrant jasmine rice! Ooooh yum…. 'nuff said.
A must-try is the Pad Thai. And make sure you buy it from the street hawker! It's not the same from a proper resto. But if you're a bit conservative, at least try the version the sit-down restos serve. It's still very good. Pad Thai is the most fun to eat because you get to flavor it your way! Given 4 different sauces to dress your noodles up, the possibilities are endless!
Thailand on handicraft
The Thai people have a natural flair for style and are very good with their hands. The country provides them with bountiful natural resources from wood to silk. Thai furniture and accessories are very distinctive and very tasteful. For this trip, I am on the look out for the perfect cushion covers!
The Thais
They are friendly, polite and respectful. They smile all the time. And did I already mention they are very creative? The graphic design and video industry here seems to be booming. Movies like tom yum goong even make it outside of Thailand and showed to the rest of Asia. On the streets, banners and billboards are impressively done! I have yet to see a display of bad design here in Bangkok.
I am so happy to be here to present yet another collection of tools that they can use. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
And since I am here, I still am looking forward to more sumptuous meals and some serious shopping (if time affords me that), and maybe a few interesting conversations with these creative people in the coming days before I head back to si ngapore for a breather.

A Separate Peace
The Worry Solution, by Martin Rossman, MD (Broadway)
Big Promise: Control your anxiety, practically address your worries, and keep from panicking by calming down with visualization and organizing your problems into which you can solve, and which you can't.
Problem: I woke up seven snoozes after my alarm. Now I'm late for work, and trying to brush my teeth, respond to e-mails, and put on my pants—all at once.
Solution: Stop, take six deep breaths from your diaphragm (to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system) and imagine you're in a peaceful place for one minute. Staying still seems counterproductive, but it will calm you so that you can make a plan that involves leaving the house with both legs in your pants.
Problem: Rent and bills are due, and I've received yet another letter telling me to start paying my student loans already. At this rate, in a year I'll be broke, my credit history will be shot, and I'll have to move into my parents' basement.
Solution: Assess which troubles you can take off your plate. If you can pay all or some of your bills, that's a manageable start. You can't change my credit now, but you can make strides later. Don't indulge in panic—your parents' basement of far, far away.
The Mindful Way Through Anxiety: Break Free from Chronic Worry and Reclaim Your Life, by Susan M. Orsillo PhD and Lizabeth Roemer PhD (Guilford Press)
Big Promise: Understand your stressors instead of trying to avoid them, and you'll be able to grapple with the situations that make break out in a sweat.
Problem: Oh my God, I don't want to die alone, but I don't know how to put myself out there.
Solution: You can't protect yourself from all possible hurt or rejection, but you also can't replace fear with self-confidence by force of will. Examine what you want in a relationship and how to pursue it, knowing any pain you face is only temporary.

I'll never be able to give up my pets. It's just become to apart of the class for me. I'd feel lonely with out them. However, I understand this is how some people want to play the class. As long as they take care of us BM Hunters and we're not neglected to the ends of the world again I'm perfectly okay with it.
i hate pets so much
It is a good talent and it almost offers as much dps as a pet that is active. But you give up allot of utility that a pet offers. So my choice is 50/50 if i should take it or not. Also if you still use pet and that talent the pet gets its old role back of tanking allot more.
Special thanks to Shyama for the Signature
i'd preffer they fix buggy pet ai, but its cool choice to have
I still cant believe that this talent will see the live realms
30% damage buff for hunters w/o pet imagine the crying in PvP it will be HUGE
That talent should be passive to MM and SVV spec and not active against other players if we want to see something like this, and on his place to put talent who not only gives all pet specials but also to can non BM to tame Exotic pets
The one thing that is kind of silly about it to me is giving it to SV. It should have a different affect for BM,SV,and MM. A survivalist in my mind would definitely want a wolf or bear pet to keep them company, keep warm at night, help hunt, and have for protection against other predators. If I lived in the woods and could tame a huge beast to look after me, I damn well would.
MM on the other hand works perfectly with this. A marksman is a lone gunman that lies in wait to assassinate folks from a distance. He/She would not need or even want a pet as it would create more noise and attention for the shooter.
- - - Updated - - -
In PvE, hunters without pets on long fights like bosses will no doubt be slightly under those with pets.
I find it to be quite balanced.
Its gunna be so shit for MM and SV, With or Without You
Interesting, for BM not much changes. Just a bit more pet dmg.
No one seems to have mentioned the benefit a pet brings for MM and SV... we need to use RoS and master's call (and pet abilities) in PvP and arena, Trading a pet CC for increased damage seems like a fair trade off, trading it for RoS + Freedom + pet CC doesn't to me since these are such important abilities.
With pet:
Pet cc
Roar of sac
Masters call
plus pet buff
Without pet:
30% more damage
Really not happy about it tbh,a shit trade off a pet is like a must have in pvp.
Hunters are getting fucking banged with these shit talents, every other class has good ones, dont even get me started on priests and rogues, shadow reflection jesus that better have reduced damage.

I've been sending requests for this talent (at half its current strength) twice a week since my return to the game for MoP (the in game suggestions weren't in game when I left, or I'd have started sooner). The only thing that's actually unique to hunters is Archery, and archers are all over the place in fiction. Hank, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Robin Hood, Legolas, that girl from the Hunger Games. Lots. There are even petless archer npcs in wow, but no petless players (except me, outside of raids). I hate pets. I just want to play an archer. If I wanted to play a caster with no pet I'd play a shadow priest or a mage (maybe even a druid, or shaman)--not a warlock. But given that there is only 1 archery class . . .
I can't quantify my excitement over this talent.
I love my class.. I REALLY do.. I have had this Hunter since Vanilla.. But pets have always bugged my the hell out, often buggs out of me when soloing, running away with adds, getting stuck and so on..
I welcome this, also because you STILL have the option to run with pet, and most probably will! But I LOVE being (HOPEFULLY) viable without a pet.
Since I hate BM spec and always was playing surv or mm, I highly praise this talent. We have no more dead zone, pets have no management tied to them, so why should we even bother with pets? Archer/ranger is a thing to go.
But, but... Hunters without a pet are just... Archers :/
And even though it's reached new heights, I rather like the restless nights. It makes me wonder, makes me think there's more to this, I'm on the brink. It's not the fear of what's beyond, it's just that I might not respond! I have an interest, almost craving, would I like to get to far in?!
Right idea (and heinously overdue). Wrong implementation.
This isn't something that should be balanced around as a massive end-level power boost. This has the potential to force Rangers into being babysitters, and Beastmasters into being loners — because no matter what the actual numbers are, WoW players tend to lemming based on popular pressure, DPS charts, or very legitimate utility requirements.
This is a choice every Hunter should be allowed to make for themselves, from early on, without having to feel guilty about it. I'm glad they finally are respecting archers that don't want to be babysitters, but they need to find a more user-friendly way to give you that choice.
As it stands right now, Lone Wolf is going to be a huge, huge mess that will be tweaked and patched nonstop in general trainwreck fashion. Thankfully, the preview at BlizzCon was obviously a rough draft, at best.
Then again, we've seen huge messes escape Beta many, many times, so it's never too early to speak up.

BM: 0.6 + 0.4 * 1.7/1.5 = 1.0533, 5% dps bonus (~40% BM pet's damage percent of total, 50% - current Combat Experience value)
SV: (1 - 0.12 - 0.05) * 1.3 + 0.05 = 1.129, 13% dps bonus {~12% SV pet's damage percent of total, 5% stampede's damage percent}
I like it, but I really dislike that it's a level 100 talent. It should be a level 15 talent or a glyph, but I guess it's easier to introduce it this way and see how people react.
Diplomacy is just war by other means.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Flashing your headlights to alert oncoming drivers that police are lurking on the roadside ahead will no longer be illegal in Florida, though a lawyer who has represented ticketed motorists says a new law legalizing the practice still has loopholes.
A provision legalizing such speed trap warnings is part of a wide-ranging motor vehicle law taking effect Tuesday with the new year. Other changes range from allowing homeless people to get free state identification cards to creating a pair of new specialty license plates. It also would for the first time permit the state to issue specialty driver licenses and ID cards.
Motorists like Martin Smellie didn't even know flashing headlines was against the law.
"I will try to warn my people that's driving because I would like somebody to warn me if they see the cop down the street," Smellie said.
Attorney J. Marcus Jones, who has helped headlight-blinking motorists get their tickets dismissed, said the new law doesn't go far enough.
"The action of the Legislature in our belief fell short," Jones said.
By the time the law was passed in March, the Florida Highway Patrol already had ordered state troopers to stop issuing tickets for high-beam flashing after being hit with a lawsuit Jones filed on behalf of Erich Campbell.
The St. Petersburg College student from Land O' Lakes was cited for violating an existing law that says "flashing lights are prohibited on vehicles" except for turn signals.
The lawsuit contends the Highway Patrol had been misinterpreting that provision in Florida's traffic code because it was meant only to ban drivers from having strobes or official-looking emergency vehicle lights on their cars and trucks.
To clear up any ambiguity, the new law amends that provision to specifically allow motorists to flash their headlights at an oncoming vehicle regardless of intent.
A Pinellas County judge dismissed Campbell's $115 ticket, but his lawsuit is in trouble.
Another judge in Tallahassee ruled it's a moot issue because of the new law. Jones, though, has asked Circuit Judge Kevin Carroll to reconsider because of the loopholes he believes it contains.
Jones said police still can use other sections of Florida's traffic code to ticket motorists for flashing their headlights. Those provisions include prohibitions against using high beams within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle or within 300 feet of a vehicle ahead. The new exception for flashing headlights doesn't apply to those parts of the traffic code, Jones said.
If he can get Judge Carroll to change his mind, Jones then could seek class-action status and try to get refunds for an estimated 2,400 motorists who paid fines for flashing their high beams between 2005 and 2010.
"That would be a tough battle," Jones said. "We're trying to determine what to do next."
A new law also will create additional specialty tags for Vietnam War veterans and those who have won the Combat Infantry Badge.
Florida for years has had dozens of specialty plates to raise money for purposes including scientific research, education and charities.
Now, Florida has a new revenue-raising opportunity through specialty driver licenses and ID cards honoring public and private universities, professional sports teams and all branches of the military. There will be an additional fee of $25, with half going to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the other half to designated public or private organizations.
The new law also allows the department to use email instead of the U.S. Postal Service to send out driver license renewal notices; creates plates for retired governors and federal and state lawmakers; and repeals a provision that says school buses can go no more than 55 miles an hour even if the speed limit is higher.
It also would prohibit swamp buggies from operating on state roadways unless permitted to do so by local governments and allow golf carts to drive on sidewalks that are at least 5 feet wide alongside state highways.
Two other laws also are going into effect. The Florida Safe Harbor Act is designed to protect and provide shelter for sexually exploited children.
It includes provisions that require police to turn over to the Department of Children and Families any children who are alleged to be sexually exploited or dependent for assessment and possible shelter. The department can then place such a child in a safe house if one is available. The new law also has requirements for safe houses.
Another provision increases civil penalties from $500 to $5,000 for some violations related to prostitution. It directs $4,500 of every fine going to the department to fund safe houses and short-term safe houses. The remaining $500 will go, as it now does, for treatment-based drug court programs.
Among other laws going into effect Jan. 1, 2013:
- Mortgage holders must release mortgage information to record title property owners.
- Swamp buggies prohibited from operating on state roads.
- Golf carts can commute on sidewalks at least 5 feet wide.

Stereoscopic 3D Monitor From iZ3D: Passive Glasses and Polarized Screensby Derek Wilson on 6/8/2009 12:01 AM EST

Back to Article
triclops41 - Monday, June 15, 2009 - linkmr wilson,
have you discussed your recommendations with the guys at iz3d? they are very receptive to constructive criticism, and are always working to improve. i got one of their monitors last year, and though it isnt perfect, i enjoyed playing neverwinter nights 2 and star wars battlefront 2. they are extremely engaged with users on the forums though, and work very hard.
i would love to see their system improved, and think using 120hz monitors to alternately display the different polarizations would solve a great deal of the issues. Reply
Tuvok86 - Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - linkSo the video card hasn't got to render 2x the frames (resulting in half fps) like it does with nv 3d? Reply
Tuvok86 - Thursday, June 11, 2009 - linkanyway that iz3d on screen logo looks like a Voodoo based card logo Reply
Rindis - Monday, June 08, 2009 - link"The iZ3D monitor has the capability of polarizing light at any angle, and the glasses they use have the right lens set at 45 degrees and the left lens set at 135 degrees. It is up to the iZ3D driver to display the rendered image for the right eye and the rendered image for the left eye, and then use their polarizing LCD panel to determine how much of each pixel from the back screen either eye is supposed to see. If a pixel should be visible to the right eye, the front panel polarizes it to 45 degrees, if it should be visible to the left eye, 135 degrees. If it should be visible to both equally, the light is polarized to 90 degrees."
That's all well and good, but doesn't it mean that the entire effect is going to break down if you tilt your head to one side? Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkYes, in fact, it does.
You must keep your head level for the technology to work.
At the same time, since it didn't actually work well enough in most cases to be usable, tilting your head wasn't even something to worry about. This is a problem with any 3D based on linearly polarized light anyway.
Circular polarization doesn't have the same problem, but I'm not sure how they would be able to do the partial filtering with circular polarization ... Reply
gravity360 - Sunday, September 06, 2009 - linkOkay first off I am going to clean up this mess that Anandtech is making of the iZ3D. I am a personal owner of this monitor and I love it. As a 2D monitor it works just fine and is on par with most other LCD monitors. Now granted I would love to see this monitor in action @ 120hz which is a future plan for iZ3D's 26" model. Now lets get to the "crosstalk" issue. Apparently Anandtech lacks the ability to fully understand how polarization works. The crosstalk a.k.a ghosting is caused by the polarization correct. But it's not because of the LCD panel lacking 120hz or anything like that. It's because each color of light has a wavelength associated to it. Red, blue, green.. blah blah.. Because of the different wavelengths some light cannot be fully polarized to the proper angle which is a large cause of the crosstalk. THATS WHERE THE PARTIAL polarization that was mentioned is coming from. Now if Anandtech would pay attention to the FACTS they would have checked iZ3D's support. This company has outstanding support for their products. And the issue with the crosstalk is being constantly tweaked in several ways. Their drivers have improved vastly which has helped reduce the crosstalk and then the issue with the rotation of the polarize filter layer on the left lens has been corrected along with a tinting issue. With the new glasses the crosstalk has been reduced by at least 30% which is great. I have been playing the new Batman in 3D and all I can say is that it looks WONDERFUL! SO just because you did a rushed review and didn't get your facts straight, you had an unpleasant unpleasant experience doesn't mean that it's not worth it. I highly recommend this monitor to all of my friends. In fact I have shown my system off as a demo unit to all of my pc customers and they are blown away by it. So next time... come off with a stronger argument than the lame review you posted. And btw.. circular polarization is not the way to go if your wanting the best picture. Circular polarization actually cuts the vertical resolution in 1/2 WHICH SUCKS! Why would you want to take away some of the eye candy that makes some games that much better? Granted it reduces ghosting down to around 5-12% which is the performance that you'll receive from Nvidia's solution or the Zalman's monitor.. (WHICH btw is a circular polarization). I have used several solutions and have been following stereoscopic viewing for a rather long time (over 10 years). I used to use active shutter glasses back in the day with CRT monitors and I always found that the active solutions to give me eye strain after 20 minutes or so. I have also used active solutions on Samsung DLP tv's that are 3D ready. The iZ3D drivers with the Samsung DLP tv's and a pair of shutter glasses works extremely well and is far cheaper than buying the Nvidia solution. Online you can find the IR sync and two pairs of glasses for around 100 bucks, then throw in the iZ3D drivers (DLP mode 'free to ATI users') and your already exsiting 3D ready DLP tv and you will be surprised by the performance. Anyways.. hope this clears a few things up. Reply
mb28 - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkHyundai has 3D LCD monitors out as well that should be considered and reviewed here at Anandtech if possible. I despise the active glasses because they give me eye strain and fatigue after prolonged use (anything over an hour) I have used the Hyundai monitors and think they are probably a better alternative than these. They've been out for about a year now, so I'd love to see a more comprehensive review of 3D monitors. Reply
haze4peace - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkDoes anyone have a link to a review of those Hyundai 3D Monitors? I did some searching but couldn't find a real hands on review.
I love the idea of 3D gaming and want to know what all my options are. Reply
dogcommander - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkI'd just like to say that even though the monitor, or iZ3D's solution "isn't there yet", the article itself was really good: well-written and explained. The people griping should understand that even though there is plenty to do before 3d displays are really ready for prime time, this was a good article about what's available at this point. I applaud companies for trying to bring out 3D solutions when they know the market will be tiny, but give the author some credit for writing a cogent article on an "almost there" product. Reply
Earballs - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkThe article was incomplete. It has nothing do to with the product. This article was rushed because the reviewer found enough negatives (in his mind) not to recommend it and didn't finish the review. To leave out 2D desktop performance on a display review is just sloppy.
I'm particularly irritated because I'm about to pull the trigger on the samsung 120hz monitor.
Was Anandtech bought by Best of Media when I wasn't looking?

DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkA 120Hz monitor has a potential benefit to other uses and isn't just for stereo 3D. It has a higher refresh rate potentially offering a smoother viewing experience to all applications 2D and 3D.
The iZ3D monitor has no further potential benefit to any other 60Hz LCD panel. Meaning any other 60Hz panel will be far superior when you consider cost. Even if it's a good 60Hz 22" monitor, it is not in any way shape or form going to be a $400 monitor unless you consider stereo 3D (with the glasses) a major benefit.
There was no reason to look at this monitor as anything other than a stereo viewing device. There is no reason to consider buying it except for it's stereo capabilities. Reply
Cardio - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkDon't see any mention of just how this monitor compares with a standard monitor when not use for 3D. Seems this should be mentioned. Reply
Earballs - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkI agree. I'm not interested in the stupid glasses. I just want a better performing monitor for gaming. Xbit reviewed the samsung 120Hz (nvidia capable) monitor and they raved about the monitor without the glasses. How does this stack up? Reply
snarfbot - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkdid you read the article? its about a 3d display. a passively polarized 3d screen, its not going to knock you out with its 2d.
so if your not interested in the stupid glasses your missing the entire point.
xbit raved about the 120hz samsung(nvidia capable) monitor without the glasses. ok great, how about its viewing angles? its still a tn panel, they made no mention of how washed out it looks at any angle other than dead on. even the edges will start to look different on a 22" screen.
it boils down to price, if it was $200, then yea it would be a no brainer, only 50-75 bucks more than a 60hz one. but $400 for a tn panel monitor, no thanks.
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkTo be perfectly honest, the fact that the monitor falls so short for its intended purpose really means that looking at it's other qualities is not necessary -- it just isn't something we would recommend even if it were good as a standard 2D monitor.
As far as monitors go, it doesn't look bad, but we didn't do any in depth testing on color space or anything. Contrast and brightness were very good, but reflectivity was a huge problem, and it did have a problem refracting an overhead light into a rainbow ...
Earballs - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkIt's a desktop display BEFORE it becomes a 3D gaming monitor. Your testing method should have reflected that. But, like a kid with new toy you began playing before diving into the settings. You don't understand the readers here do you?
I love it when people tell others that the information they themselves don't know isn't worth knowing. You sir are the epitome of the "interwebs". I'm quite disappointed to read such rubbish on anandtech. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkThe only benefit to this monitor is it's additional hardware support for polarizing sub-pixels so that you can view them in 3D ... You pay a premium for this over other 22" monitors only for the 3D capability ... This is not a monitor you would buy as a 2D display or for gaming if you were not going to use the stereo option.
It would be irresponsible to suggest that this would be worth it for it's standard capabilities as a monitor. You can get a 22" monitor for $150. At the upper end you'd be hard pressed to spend more than $250 ... why would you ever spend $400 on a monitor that could not add anything beyond this in terms of 2D capability and whose major feature to justify the cost premium is not something we recommend? Reply
MeTaBee - Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - linkWhen you are using this monitor as a 3D display, you won't use it ONLY for 3D display. There is no way I can read my e-mail in 3D, yet.
Is it so hard to say: "Sorry my fellow readers, i have made a mistake"?
I want to say more about this article, but I don't know anything about the monitor except that it is a 3D Monitor from IZ3D with a bit of 'leaking' and had a 'reflective problem' Reply
7Enigma - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkAlso I would have expected a price range. Are we talking $400 or a grand here? I know the product isn't being sold yet, but sheesh, is this a super-luxury item or something a normal person could purchase (when the technology pans out)? Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkThe 22" monitor with glasses package we tested is $400 from iZ3D.com and is currently available. Reply
zulezule - Monday, June 08, 2009 - link$313.99 on buy.com. And it IS being sold, since quite a long time. Reply
zulezule - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkI have to disagree with the article, but in my opinion flicker is much worse a problem than ghosting. Flicker on 60 Hz CRT displays is immediately visible and simply... disgusting. And nVidia's solution has that 60 Hz flicker. It even has ghosting too, as the LCD screen is unable to completely switch colors between frames, and leftovers from the previous frame remain on the current one, that is, move from one eye to the other. Until we can have 200 Hz screens (allowing a 3D shutter solution with 100 Hz flicker), I think passive polarization 3D is the only way to go, either with screens like the iz3d or with projectors like depthQ. Oh, and iz3d are working on new materials for their glasses, apparently reducing ghosting considerably. Was the test done with the old glasses or the new ones? Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkI agree that 60Hz flicker in older monitors was a problem, but none of the people we've had test the 3D Vision noticed any flicker (including myself) ...
Yes, each eye is given 60 images a second, but because each eye sees something different (rather than the same frame as in CRTs) and because the 60 images per second are delivered at 120Hz to each eye (each eye is fully blanked for 1/120th of a second and given an image for 120th of a second) your brain composites the images from your eyes (halving the brightness, but giving the illusion of a higher refresh rate).
It is definitely not the same as a 60Hz display and it is not even the same as having a 60Hz display for each eye with different perspectives -- it is 120Hz to each eye but with half the frames being black.
Again, ghosting isn't due to the quality of the glasses as they really are capable of blanking pixels from one eye when need be. The issue is fundamental to the way they use partially aligned light to show different colors in both eyes from one pixel.
This test was done on whatever the latest iZ3D was able to send me and I'm unaware of whether these are newer or older than anything else they've shown off. Reply
mino - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkFunny that we had 200Hz screen aplenty back in the old CRT days.
Actually, the LCD screen issue is not the one of refresh but of response time.
For 200Hz no-ghost screen one needs 2-3ms REAL response time.
Not gonna happen. At least before 2015, and then only if some new display tech comes out. Reply
nubie - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkThis technology can be used to view 3D in many different ways, not just with that monitor.
You can buy a license to use it with front-projection, rear projection, any TV with shutter glass support.
nVidia does not own the patent on 3d 120hz glasses, they have just made hardware and software that will only work in one limited way, with their video cards and drivers.
Assuming the interface is opened, or an alternate transmitter is designed, the iZ3D folks can easily use the nVidia glasses, and any screen display tech they like.
Ironic isn't it, the way nVidia has pulled something down over your eyes (figures it would have batteries and a big green logo on it though).
Just in case you were further un-aware, there is a technology based on circular polarization, where there shouldn't be any ghosting. This is integrated into a Mitsubishi(??) DLP technology, all you need are passive glasses.
Just in case you didn't also know, nVidia has pulled all support for alternate display methods, here is a screenshot of all the display methods they used to support for 3D (and sadly no longer work with the newer special effects): http://picasaweb.google.com/nubie07/3DMonitor#5127...">http://picasaweb.google.com/nubie07/3DMonitor#5127...
Notice the last cards to work with the older drivers were the G80 (on some leaked beta quadro drivers, and only in shutter glasses mode, with fairly bad support.)
The last properly supported cards were the 7 series, of which the 7900GTO/X 512MB are more expensive than any G92 card, and much much slower.
I hope that the nVidia way drops in price so I can afford it, but the mounting cost (Vista or higher, New synced 120hz monitor, $200 nVidia bundle, New nVidia card capable of playing said game) adds up to several hundred dollars I need to live on, if I had them. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkThanks for the feedback ... I hope I can help clarify some things though.
I do mention that iZ3D has been making drivers that are capable of enabling stereoscopic viewing on other technology. This article is not about iZ3D's driver in general -- this article is about their monitor and associated technology only.
It is true that iZ3D (or anyone else including NVIDIA) could hack or make usable GeForce 3D Vision hardware for use on any graphics card or game. Currently that's not an option though.
The ghosting is not due to problems with linear polarization: iZ3D's solution can dispaly black in one eye and white in the other just fine. The problem is with the way certain things must be partially polarized so that both eyes see some different color at the same pixel. If iZ3D did the same thing with circular polarization (which I'm not even sure they can do this anywhere near as easily) then they would have the same problem.
I do know NVIDIA pulled support for alternative stereo displays in their GeForce drivers, and iZ3D's driver would be a good alternative for some of these other technologies. But that doesn't have to do with the monitor we were reviewing.
I do apologize for not listing the price of the iZ3D solution initially -- it's $400.
If someone needed to buy a similarly sized 120Hz monitor and 3D Vision it would cost $400 for the monitor and $200 for the 3D Vision package, so the iZ3D option is clearly cheaper for those who do not already own a 120Hz monitor (which would be most people). Reply
snarfbot - Monday, June 08, 2009 - linkps the mitsubishi dlp's arent passive circular polarized theyre meant to be used with shutters. they implement a checkerboard pattern as opposed to typical horizontal interlacing to overcome the bandwidth limitations inherent in hdmi.
the actual display refreshes at 120hz, with half of the image displayed alternating for each eye. there is a din3 output to sync to the glasses.
while not having first hand experience ive read that they are pretty much ghost free compared to the competition. they also work with both nvidia and iz3d drivers.
you guys should try to get a unit for testing purposes, i would like to see an objective review of one in 3d, they've been out for some time now and theres been little if any coverage by major news outlets. Reply
nubie - Tuesday, June 09, 2009 - linkSorry, I should have clarified.
The technology we are NOT getting is integrated into the color wheel in the form of circular polarized color segments.
This form of DLP requires only passive circular polarized glasses (AKA RealD, I think the going theory is that theater conglomerates are using that as a pull to bring people to the movies, thus it is not available to consumers.)
Sorry Derek, I should have clarified:
"If someone needed to buy a similarly sized 120Hz monitor and 3D Vision it would cost $400 for the monitor and $200 for the 3D Vision package, so the iZ3D option is clearly cheaper for those who do not already own a 120Hz monitor (which would be most people)."
And Vista (or greater).
It is even cheaper if you factor in the requirement to pay up for a move to Vista, which iZ3D does not require you to do, it supports XP just fine.
All in all I am glad that iZ3D and nVidia are bringing this out, but I wish they had waited a bit until there were more 120hz LCD's, and brought a < $100 version, perhaps wired, that would work on other displays. Taking something that anyone with creativity and an interest could play with and then turning it into something only people with an extra $600 could use is soul-crushing. I applaud iZ3D for coming out with alternatives. (I look forward to experimenting with rear-projection, grab a free rear-projection TV locally, remove back, shine two polarized projectors at the rear, use iZ3D software to play in 3D. Alternatively you can use a silver screen and front projection.) Reply

Road maintenance worker dies on I-37
Updated 1:44 pm, Wednesday, December 18, 2013
SAN ANTONIO — A road maintenance worker who died early Wednesday morning after being hit by a car on Interstate 37 has been identified as Lewis Winston III, 36.
Winston and another worker were picking up "sweepers ahead" signs just before 5 a.m. in the interstate's southbound lanes, in the 9000 block near Southeast Loop 410, according to a police report. Winston had been part of the crew using sweepers to clear debris from the roadway and was wearing a fluorescent green traffic vest, according to police.
Isaac Nathaniel Diaz, 23, told police he was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier southbound in the inside lane at about 70 miles per hour when a Toyota Camry switched into his lane in front of him. Diaz said the Camry's driver suddenly hit the brakes and began to slow down.
Diaz quickly hit his own brakes and tried to steer onto the paved shoulder, but his car began to spin, according to police. Diaz said he saw Winston standing on the grassy median just off the shoulder but was unable to avoid him.
Diaz's vehicle was going about 65 miles per hour when its front right quarter panel crashed into Winston, causing Winston to hit the windshield before being thrown into traffic lanes, according to police.
News Channel
The Cavalier continued into the median before hitting the concrete retaining wall, but Diaz was able to stop it on the side of the road afterward, according to police. The Camry never stopped, according to police.
Emergency medical technicians treated Winston at the scene for multiple injuries before taking him to San Antonio Military Medical Center, where he died about an hour after the crash, according to police.
The highway's southbound lanes closed for nearly three hours at Southeast Loop 410 after the accident. Police diverted traffic onto the loop.

I just wanted to share a quick outfit post of what I wore to Sonsi's "Be-YOU-tiful" Pop-Up Party. I wore this fun poncho top from H&M, pencil skirt from Forever 21 Plus Sizes, Sandals by Steve Madden, and necklace is also from Forever 21. I'm all about pencil skirts right now too!
You'll probably see me wearing these sandals a lot! The leather is super soft and they were pretty comfy. And this is a better picture of my newly cropped hair! What do you think? I kind of want to add my bangs back…yes or no?

Just got back from our annual planning meeting for my Best of Barbecue products. (More on that soon. Anything YOU'D like to see for next year?)
Had some pretty amazing live fire cooking at Hi Lo BBQ in the Mission District in San Francisco. (The "Hi" represents high heat from the oak burning grill in the open kitchen. "Lo" comes from the barbecue pit in the basement. Highlights? Brassicas roasted in the embers. Thai brick chicken. Smoky brisket with spinach oil and micro-greens (hey, this is southern California).
In Berkeley, I ate at a hyper authentic Japanese yakitori bar called Ippuko. Chicken skin, chicken necks, chicken oysters, even keel bone grilled over a screaming hot bincho-tan charcoal fire. You haven't lived until you've tried the tsukune (grilled chicken meatball served with jidori egg yolk). And plenty of potent shoju (Japanese "vodka") to wash it down.
In Oakland, I had big flavor Thai street food at a funky new restaurant called Hawkers Fare. Thai beef jerky. Grilled short ribs. And string beans so flavorful they could rouse the dead--even if not grilled.
Where do YOU go for primo barbecue and grilling in the Bay Area?

How can I find if some one copied my blog contents and posted it in his own blog? Anyway to prevent this?
One way would be to choose a couple of paragraphs that should be unlikely to appear on any other blog and google them to see if they appear on any other blog. There is also Copyscape Plagiarism Checker - Duplicate Content Detection Software which basically does the same but probably has some sort of subscription option where they monitor it automatically
On copyscape, you can just enter your url and it will show all other webpages having your content and its free check. If you would need to check unpublished content for duplication, than they have subscription for it. Its a best way to check the duplicate content and prevent too.
Thank you for your valuable tips. I will go ahead with this in future.
Why do that - it just encourages people to copy your content just because they can.
Anything you put in your page to try to block people from copying your content will interfere with legitimate visitors and make it MORE likely that your content will be copied by those who think they are clever because they know how to bypass whatever you used. It isn't clever to know how to bypass any form of copy protection since doing so is far easier than trying to apply it in the first place.
Stephen is totally right. Additionally, there is no way to keep people from copying. If nothing else, they can always "view source" and copy that. Alternatively, they can print it to pdf and copy it from there, or just type it into another document.
If you don't want to take the time to do things by the system -- checking with an app like copyscape, writing a cease and desist, and filing DMCAs when necessary -- then the best way to keep people from copying your content is to not publish it.
Instead of worrying about copycats embrace them. Some things aren't worth fighting.
Presumably you give your income away or you wouldn't be suggesting that others give theirs away by allowing what they have produced to be copied.
I don't think you can PREVENT someone from copying, but you can surely do something about it, when it's done deal. I have pursued some content thieves who "borrowed" my content and was able to get my articles off their sites. It's super frustrating, especially when you're building your content on your own and not copying other peoples' work.
You can know who copied your content but you can't prevent all of them. It may be very painful for us who have been working on a content with a survey from all sources, need more time and energy, just with a click and that's content on the others blog.
Very hard to be accepted, but this is a reality in internet world. For me personally, rather than spend energy and time to find who is copying my content, is better to think of developing my blog.
And the saddest part, a stolen content have a better SERP result than your original content. For this case, you can complaint to delete your content.
You can send him cease and desisit notice. You will find some saimple for this on internet. I had great success whenever I used it.
That's the first step.
If that doesn't work then contacting their hosting provider and providing them with proof that they are hosting a site that is violating your copyright. That will almost certainly get it resolved as the hosting provider will not want to be involved in a court case regarding copyright.
If that still doesn't resolve things then you get legal representation to organise to take the content thief and possibly also their hosting provider to court for breaching your copyright.
Actually, you send a cease and desist to the domain owner. If that doesn't work, send a DMCA to the hosting provider and to the major Search Engines. That usually does work. However, if it doesn't, then go get legal representation if you really believe your copied content is worth the expense of all fo the legal fees involved in initiating a lawsuit.
small claims court is relatively inexpensive
if you don't prevent them copying one article from you they may copy the next thousand articles as well and cost you tens or hundreds of thousands in lost income.
if you don't defend your copyright then some places might argue that the material is now in the public domain and thousands of other people will then copy it as well.
First, don't get me wrong. I am totally anti-intellectual property theft, but if you are going to take legal action, do consider the time lost (time IS money) and the money you will spend in taking that action. There is no guarantee you will "win" in small claims court.
In small claims court, at least in Minnesota, the burden of proof is on the complainant. Additionally, you are not allowed to bring legal representation into small claims court. You are on your own and at the mercy of the judge.
You cannot prevent anyone from copying your articles. You can take legal action if they do, but that legal action will not act as a watch dog for the next time and the time after. Nor will it act as a watch dog for the next individual who believes he/she has a better plan to "get away with it."
As for your point number three, let them argue. The law is clear about when copyright begins and when it ends. The "thousands" of thiefs will be thiefs whether or not you do anything to try to inhibit them.
To summarize what I said in my first post, there are several effective remedies in place to curtail copy-theft on the web. If you use them first, chances are you will save yourself a whole lot of time, money, and aggravation.
There is a variety of software on the market that claims to provide protection against unauthorized copying of confidential Web content. The problem with some of the software programs is that although they provide encryption and decryption, they still allow the temporary files in the browser to be viewed which defeats the purpose of preventing unauthorized copying.
First, what is "confidential" web content? If it's confidential, you surely wouldn't publish it in a public place, i.e. the web.
Second, the files in a browser aren't temporary. They are hosted and readily available to anyone that has access to them.
Third, the ways others copy content other than copy/paste from the browser window are:
What kind of software do you think can get past all that? If you have some examples, please site them.
The only effect that trying to "encrypt" your content has is to block some legitimate visitors from seeing the page. If it has any effect at all on content theft it will be to increase it since some people think that it is clever to copy content that someone has wasted hundreds of dollars to try to protect.
If someone can view a web page then they have access to the HTML etc that produced the page they are seeing.
If you want to even attempt to prevent someone from being able to copy your content by technical means then the first step is to create all your pages as PDF instead of HTML and turn on the copy protection within the PDF. That way they can only easily steal the entire PDF and will have far greater difficulty extracting just parts of the content. Being able to extract the text from a protected PDF is millions of times harder than extracting the source of an encrypted web page.
Apart from Copyscape, you can try searching some text in "" from your blog pages on Google. If you find the text you searched for is available in other websites, there is every chance, they have copied content from your blog.
Once way to prevent people from copying content from your website is having a widget from copyscape that says, this content is copyrighted. And if someone steals content from your blog, you can send his cease and desist notice
I couldn't agree more to this. However, there are still some folks out there who would go extra mile on plagiarism by just manually typing down the texts from the pdf file. At any rate there can be no absolute way to stop people from copying the content of your site.

Why I Read It: To Feed The Need – my Gemma Files addiction.
Where I Got It: From the publisher through Audiobook Jukebox (thanks!)
Who I Recommend This To: If your into sexy westerns, with some witch craftery thrown in, this is for you.
Narrator: Gordon MacKenzie
Publisher: Iambik Audio (2012)
Length: 12 hours 59 minutes
Series: Book 2 Hexslinger
I am surely addicted, and this new addiction has a name – Gemma Files. We had company over the weekend, company I adore and hadn't seen in a year, and I still snuck in bits of this audio book. The author spins together imagery that is breath-taking in both beauty and terror. A Rope of Thorns picks right up where Book 1, A Book of Tongues, left off. Chess Pargeter and Ed Morrow have a whole posse of pissed-off folks after them and need to lay low. In a sleepy little town, they regain their strength, and also work out a few bits of their relationship. It's hot and sweet at the same time. The night before a wedding, one of the local women, Yancy, demands that they take advantage of the celebration to slip out quietly. Things don't quite as planned, and Yancy ends up leaving with Chess and Ed.
Meanwhile, Rook and his Aztec death Goddess wife Ixchel are still plotting and building their empire, summoning all hexes to them and taking worship in blood. As with everything in these books, nothing is black and white. The new Hex empire is a safe place for Hexes to raise families, something they couldn't do in the open before. Speaking of family, Ixchel has a powerful brother, and it looks like these two are headed for a once-in-a-millenium confrontation. And I don't think either cares about the term 'collateral damage'.
Chess's character really grew in this second book. At the end of Book 1, I was cheering him on, but in this book his personality is unfolding piece by piece, against his better judgement. Ed has to address the fact that he cares deeply for Chess, while at the same time being attracted to the opposite sex. Asher Rook, Chess's former lover, did a very BAD THING in the first book (left out because it is a spoiler), and he struggles with loosing his friendship with Chess over it. Overall, these characters are not static; they hurt, grow, and morph into new people, forced to it by the extraordinary times they find themselves in. Throw in a few new characters, like kick-ass Yancy, and some allegiance-switching side characters, and you have a hoof-pounding, ricochet of a ride.
Our narrator, Gordon MacKenzie, did a fantastic job once again. Book 1 would be a challenge for any experienced and gifted narrator. Book 2, with further accents and more characters plus voices for dead deities and other monstrosities, is beyond what I have here-to-fore heard done well. Applause for Gordon MacKenzie please! He really brings this series to life with the effort he puts into the accents, regional and otherwise. He also had more female characters this time to play – which he did well. I can even picture him in a skirt when he does Yancy's voice. In addition, there was some singing, and I love it when a narrator goes all out and actually sings the lyrics, instead of reciting them like poetry.
What I Liked: All of it – the dirt, blood, tears, betrayal, regret, love, trust, friendship; the sex was good too; Yancy's character is a lot of fun; I love to hate the bad guys.
What I Disliked: This is really a minor thing, but I would liked to have heard more about Ixchel's new empire and what she does in her off time (besides bedding Rook).
