Indie rocker Conor Oberst has graciously accepted an apology from a fan who made his life a living hell after falsely accusing him of raping her backstage after a gig when she was a teenager. Joanie Faircloth, aka Joan Elizabeth Harris, admitted to fabricating the whole story on Monday (14Jul14), seven months after claiming the Bright Eyes frontman sexually assaulted her in the comments section of an XO Jane article.
She wrote, "The statements I made and repeated online and elsewhere over the past six months accusing Conor Oberst of raping me are 100% false. I made up those lies about him to get attention while I was going through a difficult period in my life and trying to cope with my son's illness.
"I publicly retract my statements about Conor Oberst, and sincerely apologize to him, his family, and his fans for writing such awful things about him. I realize that my actions were wrong and could undermine the claims of actual sexual assault victims and for that I also apologize. I'm truly sorry for all the pain that I caused."
Oberst, who launched a lawsuit against his accuser earlier this year (14), has now responded with a statement, which reads, "I have accepted Joanie Faircloth's apology and retraction to clear my name. This has been extremely difficult and stressful for me personally and for those I love. I'm appreciative of the family, friends, fans, and business partners who supported me throughout this and look forward to happier times as we all move forward with our lives."

Dry Eyes Home Remedies
Eyes are the most sensitive part of our body. Dry eyes cannot be categorized as a health hazard but working environment and everyday activities determines a lot. A number of factors add to it. It is a bit irritating and annoying. Dry environment and prolonged exposure to sun are the chief reasons for dry eyes.
Easy to afford home remedies with no ill-effects are worthwhile to give a try. Following are given some of the home remedies for dry eyes:–
A moist towel helps in soothing the eyes. Placing a warm clean cloth or pad on the closed eyelids helps in opening the clogged oil glands. Lie down and place it on the eyelids for about ten minutes. Repeat it as and when needed.
Proper amount of moisture is vital to healthy eyes. Keep your surrounding filled with proper amount of moisture.
Cut cucumber in slices and place them on the eyes. It relaxes the eyes and stimulates moisture.
Blink often to keep moisture in the eyes. Staring at the computer or television screens, reading or sewing and such activities for longer periods often makes the eyes dry. While doing these we do not blink as often as we should do normally and this leads to evaporation of the eye moisture.
Avoid facing forced movement of air. Keep the windows closed. Avoid fan air and hair dryer. These can help in treating dry eyes.
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated. This will help in secreting many fluids inside the body that eventually will secrete fluid to moisture the eyes.
Avoid facing sunlight with naked eyes. Use sunglass.
Try not rubbing the eyes when feeling itchy. It will add to the problem.
Say no to smoking.
Vitamin A is fundamental in treating dry eyes. Increase the intake of vitamin A in the diet either in the form of foods or as a supplement. Eat carrots, sardines, salmon, eggs, and omega-3 fatty acids or flaxseeds. It will nourish and help in treating dry eyes.
Try natural oils. It helps in curing the problem completely.
Place tea bags on the dry eyes for about five minutes and get relax.
Try trusted homemade eye drops. Honey, ghee or clarified butter, sesame oil and decoction made from fennel seeds are said to be very effective in curing dry eyes. It also has long-lasting effect.
Bilberry tea provides immediate relief. This herbal tea helps in supplying oxygen to the eyes that result in the natural hydration of the eye glands and also revitalizes the optic glands

My Web Log
Democracy in Action: Control agenda style
It's a warm afternoon, so, instead of working, I though I'd surf on down to the wretched No 10 e-petition site (more,
Public Choice Theory and the Olympics
Well, Coe-baby's £10billion egg and spoon race is a really good example of public choice theory at work. Public choice theory describes why politicians mainly do things that are against the public interest:
Don't use Raileasy
Just booked my first and last rail ticket from Raileasy. They nickel and dime you a 'booking fee' and a debit card 'fee' and then provide 'phone lines' at £1 per minute, in case you want to ask anything.
Also, they are in breach of European spam regulations, since the 'spam me' box is ticked on the submit page.
Should be called Railsleazy, in fact, can everyone call it that from now on? To use the technical vocabulary:
another bunch of sleazy corporate tossers
Politicians and nappies
This just in from Slashdot:
LBTH: How not to deal with graffiti
Well, how we love those wacky folk up in their Mulberry fortress, dancing the denial-dance and publishing spin-o-rama aka Pravda aka East End Lies, their only tangible 'product' (apart from waste and expense, that is). They are so -cute-, if you'll forgive the American diction.
Meanwhile, I started to run again today, along the Limehouse Cut and it's covered with a heavy, fresh crop of graffiti. A few random remarks about this:
Sensor networks and social policy bonds
Here's a little paper, that I've been meaning to hack out since I wrote the notes in April on the train from Ubon Ratchathani and the Buddhist economics conference.
I probably haven't finished with it. Citysense which is pretty proprietary and limited: http://www.citysense.net/ is running in Boston. However, my feeling is for much less telemetry (less data) and more sensors.
It's all fairly Stafford Beery, but I'm a big admirer of systems over politics, far less posturing, things sort-of work or they don't.
THH motto: Always do the wrong thing
It's Sunday and someone (I suspect) from our horticultural 'contractor' (already overspent by £80K but hey, it's only our money) has come to fill our new planters with soil and flowers:
MPs done to a turn, now for the Civil Service?
Now that we're be reminded that many politicians are lazy, venial and marginally dishonest, perhaps it's time to look at the unproductive, overmanned (overpersonned, haha), wasteful, endemically failing national and local civil service.
They actually waste more in a couple of days, than the £93m odd that the MPs have managed to piss away or line their pockets with.
Hey let's start with those that are meant to oversee them:
Well, if there are problems there, what problems lurk in the 'real' civil service?
Tower Hamlets Homes: A Waste of Energy (and mass)
In the last few days, I've received (apart from the putrescent East End Lies 'Press Pass Porky Benefits Borough', haha):
Smart Meters, Dumb Politicians, Greedy Energy Companies
So, to distract us from expenses row, we are all to get smart meters, and life will become so much better. Hopefully, these smart meters will march on Westminster and Whitehall and conduct citizen's arrests of the confused, arrogant and lazy people that 'work' there.
Meanwhile, I asked Energywatch about this in 2004 and received a Sir Humphrey style letter (I'll put the scan up in a couple of days) saying that 'it was not cost effective for suppliers' (of course, the consumer is not in the equation at all, even at Energywatch indolence rules).

that doesn't make sense because she said that she was sick the next morning. learn how to read dumb ass.
zolziski | 11
Just goes to show you how open to interpretation these fmls are. I was thinking she gave him head the night before and then suffered with morning sickness the next morning. Either way, unless the OP asked for his help and he still chose to leave her to her own devices, then I see nothing wrong with him not "running to her aide". As others have said, he probably didn't think she wanted him around. For all we know, he may have tried to help once before and she flipped out about it. Pregnant women and their hormones... Tsk tsk tsk...

everyone thinks he's being nice. she even thought it was a nice gesture. turns out I'd bet Money he was just holding it back to watch as men are more visually stimulated than women. ydi for assuming he was being sweet and letting yourself down when he didn't do the same while you vomited a lung...

Kons sets his sights on Cabinet comeback
Tasmania's former Deputy Premier, Steve Kons, wants to return to the front bench.
Mr Kons resigned from Cabinet in April after being caught misleading State Parliament, and thus became the second Deputy Premier to resign in disgrace in two years.
He says misleading Parliament was the lowest point in his career.
"The incidence happened nine months before the issue was raised in Parliament," said Mr Kons.
"It was just one of those things. I was blase in my response and the fact that I had forgotten about it.
"But I thought the appropriate course of action was I made a mistake in Parliament and I had to front up and take the medicine and I did that, with great haste I should say."
The Braddon MHA says being a backbencher again will make him a better politician in the long run, but it's up to others to decide if and when he is promoted.
Mr Kons denies speaking to the Premier Paul Lennon about a return to Cabinet, but doesn't mask his ambition.
"Everyone aspires to go on the front bench."
On the performance of his successor, David Bartlett, Mr Kons says it's too early to say.
"He's got some good advisers," Mr Kons said.
Mr Kons and Nigel Burch, the sacked adviser who led to the minister's downfall, are no longer close.
"I have not spoken to Mr Burch since," he said.
Mr Kons says he will stand at the next election.

Next Up to Combat Distracted Driving: The State of Illinois
Posted on 08/23/2013 by AKilgore | 0 Comments
The state of Illinois is the latest state to take a stance against distracted driving, joining 11 other states and the District of Columbia. The state's Governor, Pat Quinn, signed into law two bills: one, prohibiting the use of all hand-held mobile phones while driving on Illinois roads, and the second, increasing penalties for drivers whose behind-the-wheel use of an electronic device causes an accident.
What exactly do these bills entail? Let's take a look:
• Prohibits the use of a mobile phone or other electronic communication device while operating a motor vehicle on any road in Illinois
• Any calls that are made to report an emergency situation are excluded from the law
• Exceptions include: hands-free devices, including those with headsets that are able to make a call using a single button or voice command
• Increases penalties for drivers whose use of an electronic device while driving leads to an accident
• First offenders will be fined $75. For subsequent offenses, penalties will increase by $25 to a maximum of $150
• For accidents that cause great bodily harm, the driver can be sentenced to up to one year in prison. Fatal accidents can result in a prison sentence of one to three years.
• The new law will take effect January 1, 2014
"Too many Illinois families have suffered because of accidents that could have been prevented," Quinn said. "Anyone driving a car should be careful, responsive and alert behind the wheel. These new laws will save lives."

Don't know if my way of backing up will help you. I have a 128 SSD on which my operating system and programs go I also have an internal 1TB drive where everything else goes,games including Steam folder which at the moment has nearly 200GB of games, my music and pictures, videos and films and of course documents.
I then have a NAS drive 1Tb on which I back up much of whats in My Documents all my music and pictures and video/films. My personal documents are also backed up to DropBox.
I used to clone my main drive the C drive but to be honest see little point in doing so as each time you clone you are also copying the rubbish,I find it simpler to reinstall Windows when necessary.

Sanjay Dutt granted bail
27 Nov, 2007 - 04:30 PM IST | | 224 Reads
MUMBAI: The Supreme Court has granted bail to Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt in the Mumbai serial blasts case.
Dutt will have to furnish a bond and his passport would remain deposited with the Court.
The court did not grant bail to those sentenced to life imprisonment in the serial blasts case.
In addition the appeals and the bail pleas of those convicts who had not surrendered were not considered.
Some of the important petitions that came up for hearing were that of Samir Hingora, Rubina Memon and Yusuf Khan.
Dutt is currently lodged in Yerawada Jail, Pune. He was earlier granted interim bail on 20 August 2007.

Another Block - CARD TRICK!!
I love this block!! I like the fabric I chose. I enjoyed learning how to piece it, though I needed to concentrate when stitching the pieces.
As each lesson becomes progressively more difficult, I "get" something in each one. I think I especially learned the importance of squaring each pieced block before stitching the rows. Yes, I know I should have "got" that from the beginning, but sometimes it takes me a while.
I think the next lesson will be about paper piecing, though I have not had a chance to read through the instructions yet.
The most difficult thing for me in this learning process is selecting fabrics. I am trying to use fabrics from my stash.
13 comments:
Wow! Not only did you ace it, but also you love it! When you mentioned this block coming up, I shuddered. I had a terrible time with it once, just could not get it right, and my effort hit the trash. I have never tried it again. Yay for you! Oh, also, using stash fabrics makes it uniquely yours!ReplyDelete
Hi Carol,ReplyDelete
Love your block and the fabric you chose for it. I used fabric I had to do each of my blocks and now wish I had used something different now. Oh well, it was a learning experience.
I thought that block as going to be very difficult and like you needed concentration. In the end it wasn't bad after all.
I have finished my blocks and enjoyed the class and learned alot from Kathy. I have a notebook full of everything she sent and can go back and read over things in the future.
Enjoy the rest of the blocks.
Looks like you have some really 'cool' fabric in your stash! I like this design!!ReplyDelete
Well, I'm certainly an outsider in the quilting worldReplyDelete
but it looks to me as if you're a *natural* ...
I don't think you have anything to worry over
because following your instincts is not leading you astray!
This is one of my favorite blocks! Great!ReplyDelete
That's pretty amazing. Love it. Very complex.ReplyDelete
There is still nothing more impressive than taking a 'old' quilt pattern/block and making it look brand new! I've always liked this block too. Yes! Your choice of fabric/colors is great!!! What fun you are havingReplyDelete
Wow! I am so far behind in visiting blogs. I love the blocks you are making through Kathy's class. How fun!ReplyDelete
I love your block and colors. I have been wanting to try this one for awhile.ReplyDelete
Card Trick is a fun block, isn't it? You are having lots of fun with the class! I love paper piecing, hope you enjoy the next block!ReplyDelete
You have reason to be proud of this one - it's not the easiest to keep the colours going right (or at least that's what it looks like to me). Good for you!ReplyDelete
Now it's my turn to pop over to your blog. I love your fabric choices for this block. You must have a nice stash. I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada.ReplyDelete
You did it! YAY!!!! I love Card Trick too, and your block is super!! Way to go, Carol!!!!ReplyDelete

In September, the Advanced Medical Optics/Ophtec phakic intraocular lens, the Verisyse, became the first such lens to receive Food and Drug Administration approval for myopia. The lens was approved for the treatment of myopia from -5 D to -20 D, in eyes with 2.5 D of cylinder or less and anterior chamber depths of at least 3.2 mm. Ophtec is the maker, and AMO the distributor, of the lens.
"This gives us an opportunity to offer refractive surgery to people who were not candidates for LASIK or PRK," says Emory University's R. Doyle Stulting, MD, PhD, medical monitor for the Verisyse clinical trial. "These people tend to be those with high refractive errors and thin corneas, or a combination of the two."
The Verisyse is a single-piece, PMMA lens designed to treat refractive errors through placement in the anterior chamber of the phakic eye. The diameter of the lens optic can be 5 mm or 6 mm, and the overall lens length is 8.5 mm, with a slight anterior vault.
The Verisyse clinical study consisted of 662 patients total. In 204 patients available for follow-up at one year, 93.6 percent see 20/40 or better, and 47 percent see 20/20 or better uncorrected. All patients see 20/40 or better with correction. As for predictability, 94.5 percent were within ± 1 D of the target refraction at one year.
|The Verisyse lens may be available in October.
"I think we're going to find that the quality of vision with phakic intraocular lens implants is probably superior to that of LASIK, though the clinical studies weren't performed with that comparison in mind," says Dr. Stulting. "When we perform LASIK, especially on high myopes, we induce some spherical aberrations that are not induced with phakic IOLs. So, we have an opportunity to preserve relatively normal corneal contours with the implant, where we wouldn't have the ability to do that with LASIK."
The most common adverse event in the study was surgical reintervention, necessary in 4.2 percent of cases. Explantation for reasons such as trauma, inflammatory response and patient anxiety represented 1.5 percent of these reinterventions, lens exchange accounted for 1.4 percent, lens reattachment for 0.7 percent and repair of retinal detachment in 0.6 percent. The lens labeling notes that none of these had an impact on safety or efficacy.
The labeling reports that eyes with brown irides and pigment dispersion had a statistically significantly higher rate of IOP spikes (11.7 percent) than non-brown eyes with pigment dispersion (3.1 percent).
Glaucoma from pigment dispersion wasn't a long-term problem, says Dr. Stulting. "There were some incidences of elevated IOP early in the postoperative period, presumably due to retained viscoelastic, which is about what we'd expect," he says.
Some surgeons have wondered about what effect an anterior-chamber lens would have on the corneal endothelium. In the FDA statement announcing the approval of the lens, the agency notes that, "The three-year data showed a continual steady loss of endothelial cells of 1.8 percent a year. At this point, it is not known whether this loss will continue at the same rate, or what the long-term effect of this device on the cornea's health might be. To minimize any potential long-term effects of the device on the corneal endothelium, FDA is requiring the labeling for the new lens to specify that it should be used only on patients whose corneal endothelial cells are dense enough to withstand some loss over time."
"Pretty much everything that's on the labeling is what was anticipated," says Dr. Stulting. "During the study, the cell loss was within the range that would be typical for intraocular surgery. There was nothing unanticipated. It was exactly as you'd expect if you put a lens in someone's eye and took reasonable care in doing it."
Though many steps of Verisyse implantation are similar to implanting an IOL during a cataract operation, there are a few stages that may test a surgeon's skill.
"We learned from the study that surgeons need to be well-educated in how to properly attach the lens to the iris," says Dr. Stulting. "Enclavation requires bimanual dexterity and a little bit of training so that the lens is properly positioned reliably. It also takes a little bit of experience to know where to attach it to the iris. But all of those things can be learned pretty easily."
Any surgeon interested in implanting the Verisyse will need to be trained in its use. According to Ron Bache, AMO's director of worldwide marketing for its refractive products, the company is currently offering one-day surgeon training and certification courses for $2,995, which includes the instruments required to implant the lens. The lenses cost $695 each or $13,375 for a complete set of 32.
USAF Studies Offer Insights on Contrast Sensitivity After PRK
The United States Air Force recently completed a longitudinal clinical study designed to evaluate PRK's long-term effect on aircrew visual performance, an issue that can be of critical importance during combat. (PRK was the subject of the study because LASIK still isn't considered as universal a corrective option for aircrew members; the flap can be displaced by blunt trauma and windblast, such as might be encountered when ejecting from an aircraft.)
Col. Douglas J. Ivan' MD' chief of the ophthalmology branch at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine and program manager for the USAF PRK research study project, explains that one purpose of the study was to evaluate the sensitivity of different contrast sensitivity testing methods. "We built a variety of quality-of-vision tests into our study, including charts and electronic contrast sensitivity testing, which is kind of a gold standard," he says.
"Some contrast sensitivity tests aren't sensitive enough to pick up subtle change. Yet that change may be operationally significant in the military."
One section of the overall study, used the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test (FRACT) to monitor the effects of PRK on visual acuity (VA) and CS under different conditions over a two-year follow-up period. "We found that the Freiburg test was sensitive enough to show that there was a contrast sensitivity drop-off that was not picked up by traditional high contrast visual acuity testing," Dr. Ivan explains.
As expected, the presence of glare degraded both VA and CS, and the presence of the windscreen (with its minute optical flaws from wear) made the impact of glare worse. However, two results were noteworthy. First, although the tests generally failed to detect significant changes in VA following PRK, the data showed long-term worsening of CS in many subjects that did not improve with healing.
Second, despite the equal luminance of the two glare sources, the laser glare interfered far more with both VA and CS than the broadband glare source. "We weren't expecting that to be the case," notes Richard J. Dennis, OD, MS, FAAO, a senior vision scientist at the AF Laser Research Laboratory.
"Because the military uses lasers for many purposes, this could be a significant concern." Researchers observed that the laser glare produced coherent spatial noise—i.e., "laser speckle"—that may account for the increased visual interference.
In terms of contrast sensitivity, Dr. Ivan notes that not all PRK patients end up with "permanent" CS loss. "Those who still have a deficit two years out are a subset of this population. We're trying to find the right tests to determine who those individuals are, and ultimately create a set of standards for this that we can get policy makers to buy into.
"We can't afford to put pilots in the cockpit who may have subtle but significant loss of contrast sensitivity," he adds. "After refractive surgery, older, traditional vision standards simply don't tell us all that we need to know."

Statins May Protect Against Vitreous Hemorrhage
A retrospective analysis of 54 diabetic patients—20 with type I diabetes and 34 with type II diabetes—indicates that statin therapy may cause a delay in the appearance of vitreous hemorrhage, as well as a reduction in its recurrence. In contrast, regular use of aspirin or ACE-inhibitors doesn't appear to have any effect on vitreous hemorrhage.
Researchers at Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre in England, noted that hemorrhage was detected in patients on statin therapy an average (mean) of 21.4 years after diagnosis; patients not taking HMGCoA reductase inhibitors were found to have vitreous hemorrhage an average of 16.2 years after initial diagnosis. This trend was not statistically significant.
The reduction in recurrence associated with statin use did reach statistical significance. The investigators reviewed 110 episodes of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage that occurred in 79 eyes of the 54 patients during follow-up. Use of aspirin, antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents or ACE-inhibitors was not associated with any significant effect on the one-year recurrence rate; nor was a patient's age or gender, the type of diabetes, the presence of hypertension or hypercholesterolemia, or macrovascular complications. Statin use, however, did produce a statistically significant reduction in vitreous hemorrhage recurrence.
The authors also noted that the first occurrence of vitreous hemorrhage occurred significantly later in type I diabetics (21.9 years) than in type II diabetics (14.8 years).

Bacteria-Fighter Helps Maintain Normal Eyesight
A family of genes long known to be integral to the immune system also plays a role in vision, perhaps preventing certain blinding diseases. The gene, TLR4, enables the eye to clear old outer segments, a function that is essential for maintaining normal vision, say researchers at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center.
The gene belongs to a group of toll-like receptors (TLRs), which dispose of bacteria and other foreign matter in cells throughout the body. Howard R. Petty, PhD, a biophysicist at Kellogg, says the discovery will give scientists new ways of thinking about the chain of molecular events that lead to eye disease. Dr. Petty and his colleagues are the first to link TLR4 to the eye; his findings are reported in August's Journal of General Physiology.
To maintain vision, the eye must continuously dispose of the aging or damaged outer segments of photoreceptor cells. "The process is a little like recycling," Dr. Petty says. "As outer segments of photoreceptor cells become worn out, new outer segments are generated to replace them. If the eye cannot efficiently dispose of its worn out segments, a person will go blind."
Knowledge about the gene may provide new avenues for studying such diseases as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration, says Dr. Petty. Dr. Petty is already conducting research to learn more about TLR4 and how its proteins interact with other elements involved in clearing outer segments.
Other studies have shown that TLRs play a role in stimulating oxidants. When oxidants accumulate in eye tissue, they cause retina cells to die. The build-up most likely occurs in small incremental steps, and may be a factor in AMD.
Scientists have known for years that TLRs participate in the immune system of Drosophila, or fruit fly. "We are looking at one of the oldest genes to participate in immune defense," says Dr. Petty. "Fruit flies do not have antibodies; these evolved much later. So with TLR we are talking about innate immunity."
"Nature likes to economize," says Dr. Petty. "Maybe it's not all that surprising that we have found a set of genes that are central to corresponding processes involving two different systems. The bottom line is that the TLR genes are there to get rid of things that don't belong."
The paper is available on line at jgp.org.
FDA Approval for Epi-Lift
VisiJet Inc. (Irvine, Calif.) received FDA approval for its EpiLift System, the ophthalmic surgical device designed for separating corneal tissue during Epi-LASIK.
During Epi-LASIK, the top layer of the epithelium is separated into an intact sheet of viable tissue. After laser ablation of the corneal bed, the epithelial sheet is returned to its natural position on the eye. VisiJet says a key attribute the EpiLift System provides is precision. It cleanly and safely separates the epithelium from the next layer of corneal tissue, Bowman's membrane. By eliminating the cutting of stromal flaps, the company says, the EpiLift System eliminates the primary cause of LASIK complications.
VisiJet, Inc. received the European CE Mark approval for the EpiLift System earlier this year. The EpiLift technology joins the company's proprietary water jet technologies, which are in final development stages.

Foreign Secretary William Hague said the Government continued to monitor the situation closely and urged all Britons to leave the country where safe to do so.
Officials from the Foreign Office meanwhile were locked in negotiations with their counterparts in Tripoli in a bid to open the airspace between the capital and the second city Benghazi, scene of the worst violence.
Earlier, more than 40 British nationals who were stranded in Benghazi because of the no-fly zone were evacuated by land.
With few commercial options available for those wishing to leave Libya, the chances of a Government-organised mass evacuation looked increasingly likely.
Portugal and Austria both sent military planes to Tripoli yesterday to remove its citizens.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are keeping the situation under constant review. If the situation on the ground determines that evacuation is necessary then we will of course do that but we never pre-empt these sort of things."
One British construction worker, who arrived back in the UK from Tripoli said there had been a "very palpable air" that trouble was coming.
Mike Bailey, who had an apartment about half a mile from Green Square in the Libyan capital, said he had been woken during the night by the sound of heavy gunfire.
He said: "We heard very heavy gunfire, small arms and heavy calibre stuff about 3am. It lasted for round about an hour. We then left the apartment about 5.30am to go to the airport."
Another Briton writing on a website said: "I've got a couple of friends stuck in Benghazi – they were working for the British Council there, and they're now housebound in a flat with five other UK adults and three kids.
"Apparently it's a total war zone, and they've got two days to get out before the army comes back in with the heavy stuff. It's total anarchy."
The British Council also announced it was closing its office in Tripoli and withdrawing all non-essential staff.
Earlier, oil giant BP which has 40 expatriate staff working in Libya, announced it was evacuating them and their dependants in response to the escalating violence.
BP signed a £550 million deal five years ago to begin oil exploration in the Libyan desert.
But in an interview with Sky News the company's chief executive, Bob Dudley, refused to rule out a complete withdrawal from the country.

Against the World
On this page:
- "Against the World" is the third studio album by deathcore band Winds of Plague. It was released on April 19, 2011 through Century Media Records. Against the World features guest appearances from members of Hatebreed, Terror, For Today, Stray From the Path and former world heavyweight wrestling champion and sports entertainer Ultimate Warrior. The album is described in a press release as "the heaviest-hitting record of the band's already heralded career." "Refined in the Fire" and "California" have been released as singles, and music videos have been released for "Drop the Match", "California" and "Refined in the Fire". This breaks the band's cycle of having no more than one video released per album. An unreleased song, a cover of the The Cranberries song "Zombie", was released with the iTunes EP for "California". It charted at number 60 on the Billboard 200, their highest charting album.

Like say for instance you get depressed cause you lose your job and your girlfriend etc etc.. If you were completely contempt with that, you probably wouldn't go out and try to find a new job or a new gf. So maybe its kind of a survival instinct.
"Christian Bible, the Gospel of Mark, chapter five, verse nine. We acknowledge this as an appropriate metaphor. We are Legion, a terminal of the Geth. We will integrate into Normandy."
If only people would stop making excuses on the internet and do something about it. Like idk, see a therapist, talk to people, eat more food, idgaf. Do something, make yourself happy.
My heart certainly goes to some of my family members who would mourn my passing. They might have more pain when i pass away than the pain i had but that still doesn't make me change my minds. I can't see myself living in this society. Failed, doing a job 50 years that i never wanted. I look at people everyday, about my age, studying everyday, knowing that many or all them will certainly have a great future ahead as a doctor, a pilot and so on.
I can't stand it to be such an idiot and to have failed so terribly. I can't make my mistakes straight, even if i am only 16 years old. Among those who are young, many of them do not realize what education means and what for effect it has. Some of them will find outlets in IT. Some will have an escape in art. Some will live their lives pursuing unicorns that they will never, ever catch.
I never had a talent to lose myself in, or a dream or unicorn to chase because i already failed and so i think i'll be taken the path most dreaded.
It's not an excuse. Internet is a great way to say something in privatly. Why search for help when you know that nothing can be changed?
About love. I can't get a girl and even if i could get one, sooner or later they will leave me behind. I am not the kind of guy who is looking for a slut to have sex with. I am not the kind of guy that looks at how sexy the girl is, instead i am looking at the girl who is smart and dignified. I am the kind of guy who is very picky about friends and relationships. To bad i am just a nerd, a geek, a loser who fails to impress any girl. Just when i start talking, i begin to stutter, not knowing what to say except for a few questions, shy, looking down.
And about stuttering, it's not because i am shy that i stutter but because i have a speech disorder. I stutter, i can't even say my name without putting the letter T in front of it. I have One Heart for sale. Horrible Condition. Will take anything for it. Please. Just cut it out of my chest and end this suffering.
Be grateful that u live in an free country
@lies' shut up already. This isn't the section for this, nor should there be one.
Stop whining already and do something.
If you aren't trolling, then you really need to look at life in a different perspective.
You may have a chemical imbalance, or you're like every other 16 year old on this planet,
that in some point in time got depressed with life. It's normal.
Go seek some help, I'm sure there are counselors that you can speak with for free if you're at risk of taking your own life.
You need to realize that there are kids your age that WISH they only had the kinds of problems you have.
I'm talking about kids that are burned on 80% of their bodies, have no arms or legs, people that are mentally challenged and don't even have a clue to how genuinely disadvantaged they are in society. As far as you feeling you will never amount to anything,
well you won't if you don't have the drive to prove yourself wrong. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem..
You just have to persevere, and convince yourself that you can get out of this rut you are in, and YOU WILL accomplish the goals you make for yourself. Life is only as empty as you make it. There is always a way to fill in those gaps.
Just look at what this guy overcame, and where he went with his life.
the OP's name explains everything.
Suicide is a coward's way out. Deal with your problems and move on.

Why not :
- stop spending your freetime into writing suicide letters and go make homework so ull get an nice job someday
- stop watching MTV ( except jerseyshore)
- play nice games
I've thought about this several times, But It was a hard desicion but I moved on. You can go emo if you want but I sugest not ..

Most vehicle owners know that routine maintenance is essential. By investing a little bit in the continuous upkeep of your car, you can keep it performing at peak condition while also extending the lifespan of your vehicle. Regular maintenance can help prevent major problems from arising or from spiraling out of control. All told, routine maintenance is a smart investment, and one of the smartest forms of routine maintenance is the regular oil change. Getting replacement oil and replacement oil filters from Meineke #140 in Meriden are things every auto owner should do every few thousand miles.
What makes oil changes so necessary? To understand that, you first need to know a few things about engine oil. The oil in your car does a couple of important things. The first is that it carries heat away from your engine, which prevents the car from overheating. Second, the oil acts as a kind of car lube that keeps pieces of the engine from grinding together and causing harmful friction. The bottom line is that engine oil protects your engine from undue wear and tear so that you can safely enjoy driving in streets of . Make an appointment at if you live near .
Oil changes may be necessary, but how often should you have your oil and auto filters changed? The answer to this question varies depending on the make and model of your vehicle. There was a time when oil changes were needed much more frequently than they are today, but thanks to advanced technology the interval is considerably larger. To find out exactly how often you need to get an oil change, consult with your vehicle's owner's manual or bring it in to Meineke #140 in Meriden CT .
The consequences of not changing your oil are major. First, the engine will overheat and the pieces can become warped or melted. Without the right car lube, your engine pieces will also cause corrosive friction. Sooner or later, your vehicle will simply stop working and you will be faced with the expensive prospect of engine replacement. Investing in routine auto maintenance in the form of regular oil changes is obviously a smarter move. To learn more, come see us at Meineke #140 Meriden CT today!
Though DIY oil changes are possible, they can be difficult and are often better left to professionals. For your oil change and auto filter change needs, come to our center at 392 West Main Street—and don't forget to check the Meineke oil change coupons page beforehand!

Glory days
Sunday, January 11, 2009
Lu and Care both mentioned that they will be starting jobs as substitute teachers in the very near future.
Did you know I used to be a substitute teacher? I do believe I've mentioned it numerous times because, let's face it, I am much happier now that I am not a substitute teacher. I will admit to a bit of bitterness. I substitute taught for three and a half years, and I spent a half year on contract as a history teacher after a teacher passed away mid-year. Then they interviewed candidates for the position and I didn't get hired. They hired a coach, instead. So yeah, I have lots of not so pleasant memories when it comes to teaching.
Anyways...not that it's my intention to scare Care and Lu off of their new career path, but really, when the sub is there, the kids all turn into possessed demons. You did too, don't try and deny it. Of course, I'm talking about middle school and high school. The younger kids could be perfect angels for all I know.
So, here are a few substitute teacher stories to shock, appall and amuse you. (Care and Lu, maybe you shouldn't read these after all.) Keep in mind that at the time I was a fairly innocent 23 year old, who looked like one of the high school kids. And I was teaching at the same middle school and high school that I attended...so all of the teachers knew me. On the bright side, I got a lot of work. On the dark side...
1. 8th grade math.
Some highly creative genius twined staples together so that they resembled a piece of barbed wire. Then they left it on the chair for me to sit on. Holy crap did that ever hurt! Not that I let them see my pain.
2. 8th grade math.
Same teacher, different set of juvenile delinquents. One young man didn't like my attempts to control the class and called me a bitch. I'm fairly certain he really thought I was a bitch after he got suspended for that little outburst.
3. 8th grade leadership class.
Yes, leadership. Remember when almost all the boys wore baggy pants belted very low on their non-existent hips? So the class assignment was to finish some sort of artistic project (the details are blurry) and then tack it up on the wall. So there he is, standing on a chair, back to the room (thank gawd), when his friend comes up behind him and pantsed him. Only problem is, he both pantsed and underpantsed the poor kid, who then unintentionally mooned the whole class. Good thing he had quick reflexes.
4. 7th grade science.
Just like it's important not to show pain, it's equally important not to show fear. Remember that. Because science classes come with icky things. Like snakes. I once spent the better part of a morning with a snake wrapped around my arm to prove that I wasn't scared. For once, the kids thought I was cool.
5. High school peer communications.
Peer communicators are very handy with spit wads. They nailed me right in the middle of the forehead. I had to leave the room I was so pissed. It wasn't a good day.
6. 11th grade history.
One boy (who incidentally was the son of a teacher...watch out for those kids!) took the hall pass to go to the restroom. 15 minutes later he returned with sodas for all of his buddies. He tried to convince me that they came from the soda machine in the locker room, however I knew he had left campus and drove to the mini-mart down the street. At the time, they did not sell plastic bottles of soda in the soda machines. Dipshit. And no, I don't mean that in an affectionate way.
7. 11th grade history.
Imagine it...two buddies, bickering before class. They take their seats, which just happen to be at the two farthest points from each other. The one kid is sitting right under my nose, his friend is in the far corner. The bell rings, the class goes silent just as the fed up kid yells to his friend "Lick my balls!" I had never even heard the expression before. Trying not to look a)embarrassed b)appalled c)impressed I calmly asked "was that really necessary," he apologized and we went on with class.
So there you have it. Four years of teaching, and those are my most treasured memories.
What's the worst thing you ever did to a teacher?

Luke Sewell--1933 Goudey
Photos: Luke Sewell's 1933 Goudey, front and back, from my collection
Important recent card in my collection because a) my better half bought it for me for Christmas, and b) I love Goudeys. The 1933 set is an iconic set to begin with; it was one of the few sets since the early Cracker Jack cards, the famous T205 and T206 cards, or the ones made in triptych in the late 1800s, to be considered art. The 1933 Goudeys are smaller than today's cards, almost square, with a painting likeness of the player (sometimes accurate, sometimes not) against a solid color background. The likeness of the player was often outlined very sharply against this background, as Sewell's is. The cards, individually and as a set, are of high aesthetic value: the colors hold together well; the cardboard is thick and sustains (except around the corners, notoriously for this set); the printing conditions were very high; and, most importantly, all of the major players of the day are there, including 3 or 4 Ruths and Gehrigs. A rarity in this set is that many of the players have duplicate cards, and not always because they changed teams, retired, etc.
Family lore has it that my father probably had a ton of these when he was a kid growing up in the 40s or early 50s. He didn't remember which ones. One day his mother came in and cleaned up his room, which involved throwing many of them away. He had maybe three or four left over, which he either demolished by attaching them to his bike spokes, or lost by playing betting games with them--usually by flicking them against brick walls; he who had his card land face-up took the lot. If this is accurate, he lost some HOF players, and maybe a few grand worth of cards. But nobody thought of collecting and making money from these things back in the day.
This card:
This one is probably in G-VG condition. It's not professionally graded, but since I'm holding on to it forever, I'm not going to bother. It has slight creases of wear in the upper portion, noticeable only in a slanted light, and even slighter ones in the upper left corner, beneath the name, and in the direct center. The corners are very rounded; this is notoriously common for this set. Someone had to have the mindset of a collector in 1933 to somehow protect the card (probably in a book, or maybe a cheese box, back then) and its corners. (There's a set of 114 cards of this condition on ebay right now, going for just over eight grand.) That just wasn't the case most of the time back then. Schoolboys played with them, folded them, flipped them, put them in their bike spokes, etc. Some kid definitely played with this one back in the day; the creases tell me that it's been flipped on its head or tail quite a bit; it's probably seen its share of walls. That means more to me, somehow. It's got more character, more story, behind it, then if some guy just put it between the pages of a hardcover book in 1933 and didn't often look at it. Mine's been used and abused. It's got patina, as a picker would say. (Though if someone wants to give me a 1933 Goudey of any player in great condition, please feel free.)
The player:
Some interesting tidbits from his Wikipedia page: He came up fast, after just 17 minor league games, and was probably signed by the Cleveland Indians to begin with because his brother was already an infielder for them. He was part of a righty/lefty platoon; he never hit in League Park, the home park, which had a right field fence only 290 feet from home plate. Known for his defense, he threw out 71 runners one year, 60 another, and so on, which tells me that not only did he have a very good throwing arm--but, apparently, everyone ran, all the time, once they got to first. (Babe Ruth famously ended a World Series by getting thrown out at second base. The old sped-up clips show his spindly legs moving quicker than you would think, but that's not enough to convince me that he had any business stealing bases, at any time.)
His defense was so good, and maybe his handling of the pitching staff so well-respected, that he did very well in MVP voting at a time when hitters stats were comparable to the steroid era. For example, he finished fifth in the MVP voting in 1937, and was an all-star. The league average, batting, that year was .281, and the average OBP was .355. That means that your average ballplayer, who nobody's ever heard of before, could be a good to decent leadoff or number-two hitter today. (A slightly below average year for Pedroia would be .281/.355 right now.) The #10 hitter in the league hit .331 with a .407 OBP and a .546 slugging %, with 111 runs scored, 25 homers and 110 RBIs. Sewell, as I mentioned, finished 5th in MVP voting, way ahead of all the guys whose stats are mentioned above; Sewell had 111 hits, with 1 homerun, 61 RBIs and a .269 batting average--all very, very, very below the league average. More than five guys finishing in the top-25 behind him had over 25 homers and 100 RBIs each. The guys in front of him were your DiMaggios, Greenbergs and Gehrigs, with over 37 homers and 159 RBIs apiece (those were Gehrig's stats, whose numbers were lower than the guys in front of him on the MVP list). Guys in front of him hit .371, .346, .337, .351, and .332., with RBI totals of 167, 183, 159 and 133. Then Sewell, hitting .269, with 1 homer and 61 RBIs.
Now that's respect. Or else, he had pictures. I don't know. I'm guessing respect. He must've been some defensive catcher and handler of pitchers. The equivalent today would've been Jason Varitek finishing #5 in the MVP voting between 2000 and 2007. Not happenin'. Sewell finished 9th, 12th and 15th in the MVP voting in other years. You can find these stats at baseball-reference.com, here. He threw out 53% of the baserunners for two straight years, and was annually in the mid- to upper-40s. That's incredible, for any era. For his career, he struck out just 307 times in over 6,000 plate appearances; this averages to just 30 strikeouts per 600 plate appearances, per season. In 1933, he had 24 strikeouts in 536 plate appearances. Of course, he walked about as often, too. In those 536 PAs in 1933, he walked just 48 times--though this is, of course, double his strikeout total. With his good MVP standing, I'll bet he made the most of all those outs--moving the runners along, hitting to the right side, bunting, sacrifice flies. All that. He still holds the American League record for most consecutive seasons as an active catcher, with 20. This also speaks to his defensive prowess. Something else that also does is that he caught three no-hitters from three no-name pitchers. Varitek, who also caught three no-hitters, probably caught them from pitchers of higher caliber.
His brother, Joe Sewell, is a Hall of Fame shortstop. As I've barely heard of him, I'll bet it's because of his defense, as well. Let's look 'em up...Woops! I'm wrong. Clearly one of the better hitting shortstops of the 20s, if not the best, and his strikeout ratios are even better than his brother's, to the point of silliness. He struck out 114 times in just over 8,300 plate appearances for his career. (By comparison, many of the best hitters today K well over 114 times in about 600 plate appearances in just one season.) On average, per season, he would K just 10 times in over 700 plate appearances, with 72 walks, 189 hits, 90+ RBIs, a .312 batting average and a .391 on-base percentage. He once had 115 consecutive games between strikeouts. He still holds the MLB record for fewest strikeouts per AB, averaging just one K per 63 at-bats for his career.
Pappa Sewell taught his boys to make contact.
Though this was a great time to be a hitter, the juiced-up ball and smaller ballparks didn't lead to Joe Sewell walking as much, getting as many hits, and K'ing so rarely. His D was good, too. Overlooked player by the HOF and voted in by the Veterans Committee in 1977 in one of their rare good moves. He died in 1990, aged 91, so he saw himself inducted into the Hall, which is rare for an overlooked ballplayer from a bygone era.
In an odd coincidence, Luke Sewell (back to him; sorry for the brother sidetrack) was traded by the Washington Senators, with cash, to the St. Louis Browns for Bump Hadley--whose 1933 Goudey I had just bought at a flea market a few weeks before. (Hadley, a pitcher, had hit him in the head and knocked him unconscious in 1934, ending his season.) Until Christmas, Hadley's was only one of the two Goudeys I owned. (I got his card, and Bing Miller's--both in Good condition--for $20 total at that flea market.) Weird. He won two awards for Manager of the Year (one in the majors, one in the minors) but never seemed content anywhere and stepped down all the time. Just kept moving around. (He had a .622 record over two seasons for one team as manager, but stepped down and re-signed elsewhere anyway.) In 1944, he led the St. Louis Browns to its only World Series in its 52-year existence, losing to the St. Louis Cardinals.

I refer to the process in an editor where filters are applied and cuts and other editing are done as "rendering". When the material is then output to other formats such as DVD, I refer to that as encoding. I know there is some crossover in the use of these terms. Is my definition correct in common usage?

I'd say rendering in NLE means applying changes to video, that were made at working on project. The data for changes is stored in small project file and rendering creates new video file (in encoded form) using this data. So encoding in NLE is just final stage of rendering a project.
The term "rendering" is used in college computer graphics classes for converting wireframe 2D or 3D models to full resolution frames with textures applied. The term "encoding" comes from hardware and software image processing/telco disciplines. Both types of people end up in digital video projects.
I suppose "rendering" most strictly means enhancing a frame in some way where "encoding" means converting the format of a data stream. Most of the software engineers writing NLE software come from a computer graphics discipline (e.g. reading Foley & Van Dam and respecting advancements from Ivan Sutherland, Ed Catmull, Jim Blinn, Ed Catmull, Alvy Ray Smith, et. al.). These people use the term "rendering" for all major image computation.
Rendering is the term used for the creation of new material. NLE work, 3D graphics, etc., are rendered.
Simply changing the format happens during the encoding process. Video is encoded.
Many folks get confused when an NLE renders, then directly feeds to encoding in a single process. But it's two activities in a row, not a single activity.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
FAQs: Best Blank Discs • Best TBCs • Best VCRs for capture • Restore VHS
Agree with the above. I use rendering to mean when the contents of a frame are being changed in some way and encoding is taking the rendered material plus unrendered (i.e., the frame hasn't changed) and creating a particular format of file, or streaming it somewhere.
You render an effect, you encode a stream

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for GREY2K USA Worldwide, Arlington, MA, USA
Grey2k is a lobbyist group whose sole mission is to end dog racing and eradicate gambling entertainment options. While this 501c4 is a non profit, it is not a charitable one, nor even one with much ethics. They utilize donations to lobby to eliminate the livlihoods of thousands of dog professionals, wipe out a century of history and thousands of years of careful breeding that make up what the greyhound is today. They pay themselves a salary, take vacations in the name of 'lobbying' and travel the world asking for donations. Even looking at the President's response to some of the honest reviews on here from adoption people, general public, their own donors and, yes.. industry people, you get them actually asking for money to shut down honest reviews. The racing industry has for years had open discussions and offered to open up farms, kennels and operations to Grey2k board members but they refused to accept these invitations. Instead, they delete and ban comments that might have opposing view in their quest for additional dollars in their ongoing donation drive.
I am an adoption person. I have had greyhounds for nearly 20 years as pets. I did come into direct contact with the racing community about 3.5 years ago and realized that there was a lot of good, honest people who love their dogs.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I'd like to see more transparency. They often put out "reports." Once published, these reports are the only ones sited as facts. I'd love to see Grey2k quit using copyrighted photos without permission, and when they do use photos, use current ones from the United States to depict their claims on the USA. Mr. Theil will say my review is "fake" but I'm a real person that has taken the time to know all the issues. I don't have a donate to me button & I don't make my living off the greyhoun
How does this organization compare with others in the same sector?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A little
Will you recommend this organization to others?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
You're a real person, Leslie, who is a dog racing supporter. You have come here at the request of people in the greyhound racing industry, and asked to post a "review" in the hopes of driving down our review score on this site.
The claim that GREY2K USA employees take "vacations in the name of lobbying" is completely false. Similarly, the claim that we use photographs from other countries to depict what happens in the United States is not accurate. These are some of the conspiracy theories that greyhound breeders have circulated, in an attempt to save their cruel business.
As of October 2012, Leslie Csokasy owned at least two racing dogs that were competing at a commercial racetrack in Iowa, a fact she omitted from her "review."

Get Smart
Rich Umbdenstock, AHA President and CEO
Eliminating disparities in health care is the right thing to do – and it's also the smart thing to do. The Equity of Care team has put together a simple, straightforward slide presentation that makes the business case. It includes facts and figures, lists priority areas and goals, and provides resources and self-assessment tools. The presentation is a great way to kick off discussions with hospital staff and trustees. The American Hospital Association is part of the national Equity of Care partnership, along with the American College of Healthcare Executives, Association of American Medical Colleges, Catholic Health Association of the United States and America's Essential Hospitals, working together to improve quality of care for every patient by disseminating best practices and resources for equitable care. I hope you'll take this opportunity to get smart about health care disparities and how we can address them.
