Public and political opinion regarding the so-called "War on Drugs" is shifting on a global scale. In the United States, the originator of the term and the country responsible for investing in foreign military intervention to combat the illegal narcotics, there is a growing opinion that the War on Drugs is not only a failure, but also a negative societal influence both at home and abroad.
Are U.S. politicians finally acknowledging the failure of the War on Drugs?
While conservative U.S. politicians like Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson largely either support or wish to ramp up the War on Drugs, there has even been some rethinking even on the Right in terms of lessening penalties for drug offenders.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, who is wildly popular among the young and educated, recently declared "we have to end the War on Drugs" on popular late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!
In a recent speech, President Obama emphasized the need for drug addiction and abuse to be treated as a public health issue, rather than a criminal one. The U.S. president participated in a community discussion dealing with the risks of prescription drug abuse, saying he wished to "restore a sense of balance when it came to drugs, illegal and legal."
Back in July Obama decided to commute the sentences of 46 drug offenders and the U.S. Justice department is starting to release inmates convicted of non-violent drug offenses this month.
A tragic and expensive failure at home and abroad
Much of this turning against the War on Drugs in the U.S. can be attributed to liberalizing attitudes towards marijuana and its partial legalization in some U.S. states.
Yet what about the countries that source the U.S. illegal drug trade? Since President Richard Nixon initiated the War on Drugs in the late 1960s and early 70s, the United States has spent countless billions in Latin American countries, including programs like Plan Colombia, the Mérida Initiative in Mexico and similar actions in Honduras and Peru.
A bloated, chaotic and often corrupt affair, the U.S. War on Drugs across Latin America has been mixed up with right-wing paramilitary groups, environmental destruction, human health hazards, the rape of underage girls by U.S. soldiers, and the abject victimization of some of the poorest inhabitants of the region. The CIA and U.S. State Department were even shown to be involved in the cocaine trade themselves during the government's support of the Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s.
Will changing attitudes in the U.S. change its drug policy in Latin America?
The U.S. will cut anti-drug funding to Mexico under the Mérida Initiative by 15 percent, citing human rights violations by the Mexico law enforcement and military. However, the escape of Mexican cartel kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, after extradition had already been requested by the United States, may also have played a role.
The withholding of 15 percent ($5 million) in funding may be a symbolic gesture, but it may also be another sign that the drug war is waning and that U.S. drug policies are on the move.
Liberalization of drug policies around Latin America
Ahead of any significant changes by the United States in drug policy, countries that have suffered greatly from the War on Drugs have started taking alternative steps to law enforcement at home
- 2006 Bolivia legalizes the sale and cultivation of coca plant (not cocaine) for traditional use.
- 2009 Mexico decriminalizes the possession of small amounts of commonly used drugs.
- 2013 Colombia stops penalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana and cocaine.
- 2014 Uruguay becomes the first country in the world to create a legal, regulated market for recreational marijuana.
Not everyone in Latin America is getting the message
Despite strong evidence that preventative measures and treatment are more effective, not to mention more compassionate, than enforcement, Argentina is still firmly in the prohibitionist camp.
Brazilian media, and therefore society, is largely complacent with how its police handle drug trafficking. The country's own war on drugs, which sees police kill someone every 30 minutes, is devastating poor and black communities, which have become de facto police states.

This is a state-of-mind that's all too easy to let myself fall into if I let myself browse other cartoonists' work too much. From what I've heard from others, it's something most of us suffer from, to some extent. I miss the days when the hot, new, über-talented people were all 10 years older than me. Now they're all my age. What the hell. Way to give me a complex.

omgosh… I'm only just NOW reading this strip (found you through intrepid girlbot which I found through Dead Winter which I found through a friend whom I met from my girlfriend who I met online because of another online person… woooooow) ANYWAYS!! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!! HOLY CRAP… everytime I read biographies of screenwrites or directors or read about that stupid little boy that churned out a book series (Eragon dude) I'm like "UGHHH I SHOULD HAVE A NOVEL PUBLISHED RIGHT NOAW WTF??!?!"

Algebra's name proves the magnitude of the effect the Islamic mathematicians had on the creation of this math. The name is Arabic, al gebr, "a binding together". Algebra was greatly expanded by Muslim mathematicians. Paper making was one of the earliest skills acquired by the Muslims. During the 8th century CE, high quality paper was being manufactured in Samarqand. Under Islamic rule, Spain was an industrial center. Spain was one of the wealthiest and most thickly populated of the European countries. Muslims were leading in weaving wool, producing silk, pottery, jewelry, leather and perfume industry. In the Middle Ages, world trade was commanded by Muslims, and Baghdad Bukhaara and Samarqand remained centers for world fairs until the 16th century CE. The Arabs learned from the Chinese how to make gunpowder, but they used gunpowder to use in a way the Chinese had never conceived of. They experimented with the idea that the explosive power of gunpowder could be utilized to project a missile from an enclosed chamber. The first effective cannon was made in Egypt sometime in the 12th century. By the middle of the 15th century, the Muslims had improved the cannon that it was employed in the siege and capture of Constantinople. Muslims began to find universities in the ninth century, first in Baghdad and soon in Cairo, Fez, Cordova and other Muslim cities. The El-Azhar University of Cairo boasts of being the oldest existing university in the world. It was founded in the tenth century and has remained from that day the world's leading Islamic theological center. -CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM RELATIONS TODAY- -WAR ON TERROR SOLUTION- MAURITANIA WESTERN SAHARA MOROCCO ALGERIA TUNISIA LIBYA EGYPT SUDAN ETHIOPIA DJIBOUTI SOMALIA YEMEN OMAN UAE SAUDI ARABIA JORDAN IRAQ ISRAEL TURKEY CYPRUS SYRIA IRAN RAFHA JUBBAH AFIF HALABAN TABUK AL LIDAM MECCA Islam By: Ana Chua, Jessica Tran,

-Two significant branches of Islam with very distinct beliefs.
-Leadership: After Muhammad's death, Sunnis believed that Muhammad's close friend, Abu Bakr, should be the next leader of Islam. However, Shiites believed that Islam's rightful leadership belonged to Muhammad's son-in-law, Ali bin Abu Talib.
-Prevalence: While Sunnis make up 85% of the Muslim population, Iran and Iraq have a Shiite majority in the population.
-Imams - Shiites venerate Imams as infallible saints while Sunnis saw Imams as nothing more as a person who leads congregational worship in mosques. Ramadan
Ramadan is on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. From dawn until sunset, people refrain from eating food, drinking liquids, smoking, and indulging in sexual activity. Prayer to Allah (Salat) and Recitation of the Quran increases during this month. Ramadan teaches Muslims self-discipline, humility, and the ways of the poor. Ways to Identify Practitioners:
- Muslims have a very modest form of dress, concealing their skin and body. Women wear a rectangular scarf to cover their head (sometimes also their face) known as the "hijab"; Women also wear a robe-like garment called a "burqa". A "thawb" is a long, loose-fitting robe worn by Muslim men.
- Muslims abstain from eating pork and drinking intoxicating beverages.
- Instead of following the Gregorian Calendar, Muslims have their own calendar that is based on the course of the moon over twelve months. A time adjustment is made after each new moon, eliminating the need for a leap year. In total, the Islamic calendar is ten or eleven days shorter than the Gregorian calendar.

Car Boot Sales Boost Funds For Good Causes
8:08am 4th October 2013
Money made by the District Council from car boot sales in Dorchester's Market Car Park, has been given to local good causes.
More than £30,000 has been dished out to pre-schools, sports clubs and a women's refuge.
West Dorset District Council collects money from people selling at the weekly car boots and puts the money in a charity pot to help local groups.
Community groups that won funding will receive certificates, handed out by Gillian Summers, Chairman of West Dorset District Council and Stella Jones, Mayor of Dorchester, at a special ceremony on 4 October at Dorchester Town Hall hosted by Councillor Mary Penfold, Chairman of the Dorchester Markets Joint Committee.
Councillor Summers said: "I am very pleased to be able to hand over money to so many good causes. These grants will help local groups continue the excellent work they do for our community.
"I would also like to thank the traders and sellers who help make the Dorchester car boot sales a success, as without them we wouldn't be able to give out these much-needed grants."
Community groups in the Dorchester area were invited to apply for the funds earlier this year. A panel of town and district councillors awarded the grants from the applications received.

Yesterday I finished the infinity scarf that I have been making and I have to say that I love it. It has only taken me about 2 hours to make, maybe not even that to be honest, there was just a fortnight gap in between the times I was able to buy the wool. It's a thick, chunky scarf that's in a gorgeous poppy red. In total it cost me £7.50 for the amount of wool I used, and it's super nice quality! I am very definitely going to be making a lot of these for people's christmas presents this year, as I know I would have honestly loved to receive something like this as a present. The colour selection of this type of wool is also really versatile and pretty. Gahhhh, I just love it. I've always searched for the perfect red scarf and I think I may have just made it myself. I think I may do a bit of experiment with embellishment now to really add something special.
Yesterday I also spent a whole lot of time watching Carrie Hope Fletcher's YouTube videos, and she has inspired me to make my very only top 10 novels as a post, which I am working on right now :D Thankyou everybody for reading. See you soon!

Popup ALT Attribute
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This addon does SOMETHING at all.
try websites that use 'alt' attribute popup, not 'title' attribute.
for example:
you can't see popup text over picture without this addon (in firefox).
although it displays naturally in IE.
most websites doesn't use 'alt' attribute nowadays.
nevertheless, this addon can be very useful sometimes.
I think this is one of essential addon, if you don't want miss something that others can't miss.

Tom has presented a very good overall description of the "battle".
I would like to add that the loss of command & control on the Union
side made a general surrender impossible. More than once, Union
troops fired on men accepting a surrender of other Union troops.
Regional & racial hate did play into the problems but the loss of
C&C was the major reason.
For an excellent discussion of the surrender process during battle,
see John Keegan's "The Face of Battle".

How To Deal With Adversity
About a year ago I wrote about the inspirational message that Sheryl Sandberg wrote after an inconceivable loss and her ability to pull herself up and face the day with courage. It was a great example of how to handle adversity and courage through the fear. She recently gave a commencement speech to the Berkeley Graduating Class of 2016 in which she talked about what she has learned in the year since her loss. Her thoughtful comments about how to overcome deep adversity (no matter what form it takes) are inspirational. She quoted psychologist Martin Seligman, who found that there … Read More
Refuse to Be the "Ashes" in Your Divorce
Published In The Huffington Post 4-26-16 I bristle every time I hear the phrase "conscious uncoupling" because it makes the dissolution of a marriage sound easy and pain-free. Let's be honest, divorce hurts, and as many can attest, the beginning of the end is usually not that well mannered. Navigating a divorce is hard. It takes time to get over the initial anger, pain, and hurt, but then you have a big decision to make. Are you going to stay in the world of anger and hurt or are you going to try to move through the change with honesty … Read More
How to Get Over a Hurt
Do you ever feel like you sometimes get drunk on the drama of a hurt? It initially provides a good buzz, but after too many you suddenly don't feel so good. That's what happened to me last month. I did a bit of traveling to see family and friends, managed through two severe colds and worked relentlessly on a new free product I am going to offer this year. All of that left me exhausted. When I get exhausted, my resilience muscle starts to weaken, and I can easily slip into negative thinking, which is exactly what happened. A decision … Read More
What If Fear Is Evidence You Are on the Right Track?
There is healthy fear and unhealthy fear. Healthy fear is being afraid to touch boiling water because we know it's hot. Unhealthy fears are things like, I'm unlovable, I'm damaged, and I'm a failure. Those are mostly bullshit lies that we either tell ourselves, or are based on things that others say about us that we internalize as truths. When we begin to believe them fear then sets in and inaction results. What I want you to remember is that behind every unhealthy fear is a breakthrough waiting to happen. How many times have you been afraid to do something, … Read More
2 Things That Lead You to Lose Your Self-Confidence Amidst a Divorce
(This article was published in the Huffington Post on 11/17/16) Divorce, job loss, or the crumbling of a relationship are examples of sudden life-changing events that can cause pain and suffering—whether you saw them coming or not. Chances are pretty good that when a sudden soul-crushing event happens to you, anger and sadness quickly turn to blame, which can take two forms. BLAMING OTHERS You can blame others and point the finger at somebody or something that you feel caused your pain and suffering. In blaming others, you identify yourself as victim because it was done to you. The reality … Read More
How to Control the Negative Inner Voice Your Divorce Created (A Huffington Post Exclusive)
This blog originally appeared in the Huffington Post Divorce Section on 10/27/15. The biggest lies are often the ones we tell ourselves. In my last post, "How Your Divorce Coping Mechanisms May Be Holding You Back," I discussed the danger of negative thoughts forming an endless loop in your head. In order to stop this, you have to understand what is controlling the loop in your head. The part of your brain that is controlling the loop is your ego. When you learn to harness your ego, you can transform the way you think to move past these self-destructive thoughts. When … Read More
How Your Divorce Coping Mechanisms May Be Holding You Back (A Huffington Post Exclusive)
This article originally appeared in the Huffington Post on October 1, 2015. Resistance reactions are the emotional reactions you have when going through a soul-crushing divorce. They are a coping mechanism designed to help you deal with the situation and a defense mechanism, a way to push back on the reality of a situation. They help you get through the first wave of pain and they're a completely natural reaction to have when you are trying to comprehend what happened to you and why. The real problem, though, is if you get stuck in resistance reactions because they become an … Read More

Resilient Children – 4 Things You Need to Do If Your Child Has Digital Pouting Syndrome (A Huffington Post Exclusive)
This blog appeared in the parenting section of the Huffington Post. Conflict resolution for children and young teens used to be easier. When we didn't get our way, we'd just take our ball and go home. We quickly learned, however, that this coping strategy wasn't the best approach because, let's face it, home was a boring place to be. Anyone remember having only three VHF channels with Jack LaLanne as the daytime highlight? As a result, we learned to quickly get over our hurt and go back to playing with our friends. Conflict resolution at it's finest. Today, I have … Read More

I can tell you that you do make a difference even thought it is hard, if not impossible, to see the ripple effect we have on others. You have to trust that it is there. So how do you create a ripple effect? A small kind act by you to just one person can create a ripple effect to … Read More


text: My friend who was recently saved (or so I thought-I can't really make a determination so I need your opinion) told me that he does not believe in the Old Testament and thinks most of the bible is just God inspired and not factual. Yet my friend believes Jesus died for our sins. He even was telling me how the bible is incorrect about its statement on how old the earth is (we've heard this repeatedly). He ended up refuting his own arguments by saying "some science is incorrect". I told him that means, science methods to date things could also be incorrect. He continued, with stating that Noah's Ark couldn't have fit 14,000 animals on it. I asked him where it said that in the bible, and he said it didn't, but that we have many species that couldn't have fit in there. I told him, that God could have created more animals thereafter or they could have evolved into other animals (I do partially believe in evolution of certain insects, animals, etc). Anyhow, he kept mentioning things from the bible that were incorrect and clearly hearsay. I feel his argument was weak and I told him to bring to me concerns about the bible that were factual, instead of assumptive. He said he would. ***My question is: Do you believe that true Christians take the ENTIRE BIBLE LITERALLY if Gods Word is perfect and true? If not, what is your stance on this? I really need to know, because the more I continue down this path, the stronger the spiritual battle and the more Satan makes me question things. I hate Satan with a passion. I wish every other non-Christian knew what a slimy, horrible liar he is. I was a Christian at first. A worldly Christian who didn't have to deal with these disputes because I was never as passionate as I am now about my Father. This is just getting really hard for me and sometimes I just want to give up. Hell scares me too much though.

Nintendo unveils new DSi
Nintendo have introduced a new model of its best-selling DS handheld game player with camera and music- playing functions to widen its lead over Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable machines.
The Nintendo DSi will go on sale in Japan Nov. 1, priced at 18,900 yen €130), President Satoru Iwata said at a briefing in Tokyo today. Overseas sales begin next year, he said.
The third version of the DS is aimed at protecting Kyoto, Japan-based Nintendo's dominance in portable gaming as Sony adds new features to the PSP and Apple Inc. enters the market with iPods and iPhones that can play motion-sensing games. In August, Nintendo forecast it will sell 30.5 million handheld machines this fiscal year, twice as many as Sony's projected PSP sales.
Nintendo, also the maker of the Wii console, fell 3.1 percent to 39,750 yen as of 2:14 p.m. on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The stock, which more than doubled in each of the past two years, has lost 41 percent in 2008, compared with a 51 percent drop for Sony shares.
The DSi is the first new version of the handheld player since Nintendo began selling the DS Lite, which retails for 16,800 yen, in March 2006.
In July, Nintendo said it had sold 77.5 million DS players since the first model was introduced in December 2004.
Sony plans to begin selling an upgraded version of the PSP in mid-October that has a built-in microphone and a screen that displays sharper images.
Nintendo in August raised its full-year profit forecast by 26 percent, citing higher-than-anticipated sales of DS and Wii players. (Bloomberg)

For Buckeye Nation, National Title Would Mean Plenty
Journalist and commentator Bob Greene discusses what a win for the Ohio State football team would mean for folks who have ties to the Buckeye state.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
If you follow college football, you know there's a big game tonight in Glendale, Arizona. It's between the Florida State Gators and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The winner claims the title BCS Champion.
Commentator and journalist Bob Greene is from Ohio, guess whose side he's on. He says that a win for the Ohio State football team would mean quite a bit for the people in the Buckeye state.
BOB GREENE: If a college sports program is very lucky, it has a legendary football coach associated with its history, Notre Dame, now and forever, has Knute Rockne. Alabama always has Bear Bryant. Texas, Darryl Royal.
But tonight, should Ohio State defeat Florida in the national championship game, something remarkable will happen. Ohio State will become that rare university whose football team will be always be synonymous with two men, Woody Hayes, Jim Tressel.
Woody - burly, volatile, quick to ignite - was the coach it was assumed whose name would in perpetuity define Ohio State football. Fired after slugging a Clemson player during the 1978 Gator Bowl, Hayes became almost a mythical figure in Columbus after he was let go. By the time he died in 1987, he may have been the most beloved man in Ohio.
Jim Tressel, the current Ohio State coach, would seem to be Woody Hayes' mirror opposite. Purposefully bland where Hayes was uncontrollably fiery, sweater-vest and tie where Hayes was baseball cap and shapeless short-sleeved shirt, they would appear to have been born in separate solar systems. What they have in common, what makes Ohio-born Jim Tressel and Ohio-born Woody Hayes all but brothers, is something unusual in big time sports today.
It's a sense of place, of not wanting to be anywhere else but where you are right now. If you grew up in central Ohio - and I did - you understood that we were considered flyover people. The opinion makers on both coasts saw us only from six miles in the air. That's why we adored Woody. He could have gone anywhere. He could have coached anywhere. He could have traded up. But when you're where you belong, the grass is never greener.
Even after he was fired he stayed right in Columbus, held his head high, kept the same listed home telephone number he'd always had. Woody once told me that when he was a boy, Cy Young, perhaps the greatest baseball pitcher ever, lived in retirement in the same community. Woody said, did Cy Young go to New York or Hollywood? He could have, you know. But the thing that made him great was that he knew where he belonged. He was just Cy Young, Woody said, the farmer boy from Ohio and people knew that he wasn't trying to be something he wasn't.
People sensed that about Woody, too. And they sense about Jim Tressel. They just know in Ohio that he's not looking over their shoulders, searching in the distance for something better. There can be a value beyond measure in not being itinerant.
And if Jim Tressel's Buckeyes defeat Florida tonight, giving Ohio State its second National Championship in this young century, Tressel and Woody will be a matched pair as long as football games are played in Ohio Stadium. And if by chance Tressel should lose tonight, well, all similarities aside, you can bet that he'll take it somewhat more calmly than Woody would have.

FACT: Ron and I share a deep appreciation for friendship and loyalty. Also, we are both terrified of spiders. Which could be considered a detriment to our relationship, I suppose, but if in our cohabitation we came upon a spider, we would just call my mother the spider whisperer to take care of it. Ron and I also share a love of rodents, as is demonstrated by his devotion to his pet rat Scabbers. (Okay, so it's a hand-me-down pet, and he turns out to be an animagus slash traitor slash Death Eater, but my point is still valid.) I, too, had a pet rat whom I loved dearly. (He was not an animagus, however.) IDEA: If Ron and I lived together, we could have dozens of pet rats who would roam freely about the house and eat all the spiders.
Another bonus: If I was Mrs. Ron Weasley I would be sister-in-law to Ginny Weasley, AKA the BAMF of the Weasley family. Maybe not so much in the first and second books, like when she was doing that whole fugue state thing where she was off smearing chicken blood on walls and whatnot without remembering it, but Ginny really grew into a kick-ass witch... Unlike some know-it-all drama queens *cough* Hermione *cough*
Well, I have successfully wasted fifteen minutes simultaneously not studying for my Spanish midterm and contemplating my marriage to a fictional wizard. I'd call that a win.
*I should note that, had Cedric Diggory survived beyond book four, things might be different. Polygamy would probably be involved.

An Unexpected Favorite: Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash/
Before I went on my trip to Mexico this summer, I was in Whole Foods and realized I needed a travel-sized face wash. So I perused the aisles and randomly picked out this: Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash. I liked the way it smelled and it met the Federal Aviation Administration's regulation of 3.4 oz or less. Sold!
I didn't have high expectations, as I'm pretty picky when it comes to stuff I put on my face, but holy moly — I'm still using this stuff six months later.
The formula is very liquid-y, but don't be fooled, a little goes a long way. It lathers easily with water and leaves skin feeling soft and squeaky clean (for real, it feels like you just got a facial or something). The best part is that it consists of all-natural, organic ingredients — things you can actually pronounce. Tea tree oil makes it great for oily skin, while chamomile and goldenseal lends soothing, gentle properties.
And, I guess I'm not the only fan, because a little research has shown that it's a total crowd favorite. But, don't take my (or their) word for it — give it a try if you're in the market for a new face wash.

Forty-three million smartphones were shipped worldwide in Q3 2009, making up 15% of total volumes. Growth slowed to just 5% annually, due partly to greater competition from touch-screen feature phones made by Samsung and LG, and also because some consumers delayed purchases ahead of the expected release of several new models based on Windows Mobile 6.5, Android 2.0, Maemo and LiMo during the Q4 Western holiday season. We expect the fourth quarter of 2009 to be more robust than Q3, with 20%+ growth following the launch of high-profile handsets such as the Motorola Droid, Samsung H1 and Nokia N900.1. Symbian edged back to 44% global market share in Q3 2009, after a jump to 47% in the previous quarter. As expected, we believe the Q2 2009 boost from Nokia S60 volumes was temporary due to a mild build up of inventory in the market. Symbian is facing unprecedented competitive pressure in the second half of the year, as licensees such as Samsung, LG, Nokia and Motorola are flocking to alternative platforms like Android and Maemo. 2. BlackBerry achieved an impressive 20% global market share in Q3 2009, gaining more ground despite the Apple iPhone 3GS hype. RIM's market share seems to have hit a ceiling in North America, but it is offsetting this by growing in every other region. The firm's investment in the consumer segment is paying off and most of its new volumes are coming from non-business users.3. Apple gained 17% market share worldwide in Q3 2009 and maintained its position as the third most popular operating system. Despite the exceptionally high wholesale price of the iPhone 3GS, many carriers have eagerly stocked the device in the hope that it will raise their ARPUs and slow churn. At some point, the iPhone will face a competitive slowdown, possibly caused by improved versions of Android, Windows Mobile 7 or Maemo. When that slowdown arrives, Apple has the option to downscale its portfolio and launch a stripped-down iPhone for the broader, mid-tier market.4. Microsoft experienced its worst quarter in two years, dropping to 8% market share worldwide in Q3 2009. The downturn has been rapid; Microsoft went from being two points ahead of Apple to nine points behind in less than one year. This is partially due to the recent launch of the improved Windows Mobile 6.5 – many smartphone vendors have been choosing to wait for the new operating system rather than launch non-upgradeable devices that would be semi-obsolete in just a few months. A bigger problem for Microsoft is that the interest of licensees, such as Motorola and HTC, has drifted away to Android this year. Microsoft will have to deliver a superior user experience to continue justifying its relatively high licence fees or develop a superior services ecosystem for locking in consumer value.

Jaedia's note: Ryyu, or Dan, is my other half. I may have mentioned him once or twice. Hope you enjoy the change of scenery 🙂
Hello, I think you start Blag posts with hello. My name is Ryyus, well, ok it's not my name is Dan but due to some arse on my server taking that name it's Ryyus for now. If it's never been mentioned before, I'm an angry, annoying tool and my hobbies include shouting, swearing, quoting Stephen Fry, shouting again and trying my hardest to have sex with the writing staff at Bioware. So I'm basically Gordon Ramsey without my forehead looking like that of a burns victims vagina.
Tanking is something I've always done since I first doned my two hander and charged gleefully into the mobs in Uldaman in 'zerker stance shouting at the mage that "noobs use Def stance" right up to when I gemmed all my gear with strength gems, enchanted full DPS enchants and 490 defence to tank totc faster (8k DPS ON TWINS BITCHES). I've tanked my way through the game for the past 4 and a half horrible years of this World of Warcraft, usually as the underdog tank (Druid in classic says hello) and a few times as the unstoppable God of death (Druid in 2.0 says hello). In this time I've noticed a lot of things about tanks, tanking, people who tank, how people treat tanks or how tanks gem and enchant, and a lot of it makes me want to jump off a bridge, below me being all the people I've mentioned and in my arms being an anti-stupid nail bomb. I'll ignore TBC and Classic tanking for now due to the fact that with all bar the Illidan fight, tanking was basically "mash your shit till the alive thing is dead".
Wrath has changed a lot of things 4 viable tank classes for a start, more options in your spec, the fact that the damage a tank is doing is now important and mostly the fact that while all basic, the rotation tanks are doing can easily show the difference between a good and a terrible tank. Gear has stopped becoming an issue like it once was mainly due to the fact I'm sure you get 2 frost badges from successfully logging on without spelling your user name wrong, but has also become a double edged sword as standards are now so retardedly high, with most asking for at least full epic to even be allowed to try and fight the deep run critters (my dream is to one day meet the person who dreamt up gear score and staple him to a bear). Wotlk unlike TBC, which changed literally nothing about the core problems with most (see; Non warrior) tanks (mana back for paladins, druids get an instant and a dot, and gear sets). Tanking these days is a different kettle of fish to what it once was, a different game almost. Sadly, this change means a lot of the idiots that we happily let play pure DPS classes can now be a tank. Anyone with a PC, a chair, £9, and the assumption that being in defensive stance means that they are a higher form of life to everyone else in the group can happily charge into packs believing their 71 points in prot and full green quality parry gems mean that when they die it was THE RETARDED HEALERS fault, and not their's for pulling the boss when he had 20 mana after having to spam their nuke heal on the useless cretin.
This is where I come in. My hope is to not only teach bad tanks how not to be bad, but also point out the players who are good, the ones who are misguided but also good, the ones who are so far up their own arse that they are technically their own face crab while still managing to be useless at everything, and also tell people how to handle these people. Also, take some time out to call everyone who talks down to tanks that have 23k hp as "useless scrub noobs" then add something like "oh my friend has 45k hp unbuffed and I know you can get 40k up just from the items in VH heroic and that you need this much to be able to tank any heroic lol" a bunch of annoying, uninformed, inbred, useless sheeps of human beings who would do the rest of us a lot better just by fucking off.
As I said, angry as hell.

Windows 7, Windows XP
I should have given you more details about my hardware. I am using a laptop. The old comp is a laptop too. I only have one hard drive, 750 GB, although I have some large external usb hard drives as well.
I think I will try following whs and gregrockers suggestions. I will partition my drive, and hopefully, I can restore the old system to set up a dual boot option with Easy BCD. If that doesnt work, I can always, as whs suggested, boot from the BIOS. If none of these suggestions work, then I may just try running the programs in XP mode. In fact, that may be the easiest solution, although it would be really nice to have access to the old system on the new computer. I have the hard drive space for it!
Ill let yall know how I make it out. In the meantime, if anyone else has any additional insights, please do make suggestions!

I had to wipe and reinstall my system over the weekend, and I had created a Windows Vista image a few weeks back. I decided to run the Windows 7 RC 1 - 64 bit on my system. It's installed perfectly and it's running really well. However, I want to restore my docs and pictures from my 'Vista...

As you can see, I've taken down the Nanowrimo counter on my site, because I've thrown in the towel this year.
Yes, that's right, I've given up after writing 37,000 words.
I've been struggling with this the entire time I've been writing it; I just couldn't make myself do it anymore. I had a mini breakdown about it on Saturday, writing and babbling to Microsoft Word about stuff that had nothing to do with my novel, and I did not feel right about it. I wrote last year's novel with no problem, but this year, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I also don't know if I'll do it next year. If I can think of a good idea for a novel, I will, but if not, then it won't be a big deal. I really didn't want to give up on it, but I just couldn't go on. I tired myself out too quickly, not leaving myself enough pace or storyline to get me to 50k. And I'm okay with this; I did finish last year so I still can say I've written a novel, which is all that matters to me.
I hope I can think of a stellar idea for next year, because I will miss it if I don't.

Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Oxfordshire.
Aug Early Origins
Normandy. The family were bailiffs of the town of Auge. Henry, Duke of Normandy issued a writ insisting that the men of their ilk would not be allowed to attend the fair at Crevecoeur.
Aug Spelling Variations
Aug Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Agg, Agge, Aug, Auge and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Aug or a variant listed above were:
Aug Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
