About EddieDeath
AI makes or breaks a game
EddieDeath posted a topic in General DiscussionI used to play Rainbow Six Vegas a lot in a small clan - checkout "EddieDeath" on youtube or "Tactical Rainbow Six Team" on xfire. None of us were military trained and are main goal was to have fun but somehow we ended up developing some sophisticated tactics that required a lot of communication and teamwork. Some rules the team had were: A squad leader was always assigned each round. It was the squad leaders responsibility to do all planning and leadership for the squad. Additionally the squad leader had to survive. This really accelerated the use of teamwork and tactics. The squad leader would dynamically plan and assign team members as pointmen / backup man / or read guard. I called the system "Pointman" and whenever we had a free slot ( which was rare ) new guys would quickly pick up the pace and be moving around with the team in no time. Being the squad leader was great fun - it was literally like having a squad of amazing AI teammates that can do any command you give them. It was more exhilarting leading the team and trying to stay safe in the middle that being on point. So why dont we play anymore? Because of the poor AI and the dynamic spawning. Plus the low quality ubisoft servers / lack of mods and general contempt for ubisoft that is even now still going around after what they have done to rainbow six community and longevity of the game. I really hope you watch some of the videos - some are better than others - so you can see how much fun this was for us. In summary here were the pros and cons of Terrorist Hunt in Vegas that we found up until the point where it simply became too tedious to play anymore. Pros: 1 The AI would actually flank us. This meant that lone wolfs would nearly always get shot in the back it was just a matter of time but playing as a team with a designated guy coveing the six gave you a fighting chance. 2 The maps were non-linear. Generally the maps were great and diverse. Nothing wrong with the maps - they didnt really need to be so good. 3 It was ( almost ) a one shot kill game and no run and gun. 4 The game provided grenades, breach, smoke etc which gave you a split second advantage that allowed you to gain control over a heavily defended area if done in a coordinated way. Room clearing from multiple entry points was great fun albeit too easy. 5 AI - once actually spawned - would sometimes use cover and suppressing fire - although rarely - requiring flanking tactics and again more teamwork. The AI would use and move to cover based on the player teams position - sometimes... Generally - once spawned - the AI had more interesting behaviour than raven shield and would actually use cover. Cons 1 Biggest problem and really what I hope is the main thing people focus on was the AI. 1a AI was spawning dynamically in an unrealistic way that totally compromised the use of tactics and undermined immersion. This problem with vegas has been talked about widely. Generally the AI is spawned in locations that it would be impossible for them to have existed in from the start of the match and to add to that they would sometimes spawn near the team and simply blast a team mate with a shotgun - unfair and game ruining. 1b Once AI was spawned its typical behaviour was to simply run at the player like an idiot. This made the entire game rediculously easy and simply a matter of setting the team up and triping the spawn tripwire. Then waiting for the AI to run at the team. 1c While the AI was able to flank and take multiple routes to attack the team - it shouldnt have been attacking in the first place and it should only attack when it has a reasonable chance of success or had actually pined the team down and could use flash / grenade etc. 1d The AI rarely used grenades, gas, smoke, fixed gun turrets. 1e The AI never retreated or simply camped which should have been its primary strategies. 1f The AI spawn locations were not truly random. Eventually players would know exactly where they all are which really destroyed the need for the team to play creatively. 1g Generally the AI was dumb so you ended up fighting a huge swaith of 70 tangos instead of an small number like 10-20. The game would be much more fun if the AI was tougher and smarter and in smaller numbers. 1h The AI didnt work in fireteams and in no way tried to control and defend an area. Instead it was just aimlessly spawned and only ever became alive when reacting to the player team presence. 2 The game had no stealth element. All AI knew exactly where you were from the moment go. Main reason they are spawned by tripwires is because spawning them all at the start means they all just rush the players - I know i made a hack that did this. 3 The game mode itself was "Kill all terrorists" instead of objective based like rescue hostage, diffuse bomb etc. The AI had nothing to defend and had no need to be there. 4 Other issues with the game were simply ones like the lack of a compass 5 No drawable minimap - combined with no compass often made directions difficult 6 No choice of initial entry location on the map - like raven shielld used to have. 7 No initial planning stage before launching the map. Would be so good if in the lobby you could see a map blueprint and discuss plans. 8 Due to the way AI was spawned mid game most of the gadgest like gas, snake cam, sensor, jammer etc didnt work in the terrorist hunt mode. They were disabled since they would simply have revealed the poor spawning more if used.

A concussion may be defined as a kind of brain trauma that results from a blow to the head. This ends up causing a lot of problems in kids. Hence, if you have a child, you must be aware of the signs and symptoms of concussions so that you are able to spot them if your child happens to suffer from them any time.
Concussions end up causing long and short term health problems in kids. Concussions can happen anytime in kids, while playing, while falling off the stairs, while fighting with friends, a strong hit to the body in some way, etc. A concussion is a kind of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a hit to the brain causing a disruption in its regular function.
As more studies are indicating that the number of children suffering from concussions is on the rise, it has become essential that parents know the signals of concussions as well as the ways that they can happen.
While rare, the results of an untreated concussion can remain with a young child for several years. The risk for long term issues increases if your young kid has a second concussion. It is also important to determine whether a young kid has suffered a concussion so that a second concussion may be prevented.
Concussions cause vomiting in certain kids. If you notice that your kid is vomiting continuously, and this is not because of the food that he ate, then ask him if he has suffered any kind of head injury. If so, then the vomiting is a result of a concussion. Rush your kid to the doctor immediately.
If your child faints after suffering a blow to the head, it is because of a concussion. If your child complains of continuous headaches, after a blow to the head, it is because of a concussion.
Following a head injury, if your child complains of dizziness and if you see that there are behavioural changes, changes in sleep patterns and difficulty in following instructions by your kid, these are signs of concussions.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang vowed to strengthen his country's partnership with Pakistan as he arrived on May 22 for a visit less than two weeks after the country's general election. The long-time allies will look to use the two-day trip to boost trade ties, and Li will meet prime minister-elect Nawaz Sharif - who has not yet been sworn in - as well as holding talks with senior officials.
China and Pakistan should make cooperation on power generation a priority, Li said, as Islamabad seeks to end an energy crisis that triggers power cuts of up to 20 hours a day, bringing the economy to a near standstill. Li arrived in the Pakistan capital on Wednesday on the second leg of his first official trip since taking office in March after a visit to Pakistan's and China's arch rival, India.

TAPP was launched in September 2010 by The Guild Associates, Inc. (GA), a 78-year old association management company that began utilizing part-time staff several years ago. The part-time work arrangement quickly proved to be positive and beneficial, both for the company and the part-time employees. GA was pleased to hire staff who were smart, well educated, articulate, experienced, reliable, efficient, and specifically interested in working part-time hours. The part-time staff members enjoy staying in the professional realm, while still having enough time for other priorities in their lives. GA's part-time staff has been intrinsic to the success of the company, and the ability to work part-time hours has been intrinsic to the success and overall well being of its part-time employees.
Over time, it became clear that other companies and individuals could benefit from similar permanent part-time employment situations, but either did not realize the option was available or did not know how to make it work properly. In addition, GA staff learned that other business owners wanted to hire part-time employees to fill specific needs in their work force, but were not sure where to find qualified candidates looking for part-time work. The part-time employees at GA shared that their friends, family, and acquaintances wished for satisfying, challenging work on a part-time schedule, but did not believe many companies offered such positions.
Linda Guild, GA's CEO, realized that despite the broad spectrum of potential part-time employees, including stay-at-home parents, recent retirees, students, care givers, and others who work part-time for reasons such as health or work-life balance, there was a lack of resources dedicated to the part-time employee or its employer. Consequently, TAPP was formed to provide a community, tools, and resources that would enable companies and employees to find the type of success through part-time employment that GA has now enjoyed for several years.

This interview between Caryl Pagel and Lily Hoang is being published in conjunction with an Essay Press chapbook focused on dialogues with Cleveland State University Poetry Center authors, to be released on December 15th.
Caryl Pagel: A Bestiary is brimming with moments of memory, panic, humor, sarcasm, and joy but at its heart is an elegy (for your sister, for a kind of idealized love, and for the "other" Lily). Could you speak to the ways in which this grief accumulated and how nonfiction can work as a site of tribute or mourning?
Lily Hoang: My grief accumulated because—as I say in the book—I compartmentalize all my problems. I just focus on work. And then there must be a breaking point, and maybe that's what this book was for me: all my avoidances from the past three years, coming forward in all their hurtful splendor. I think nonfiction is a natural space for tribute and mourning: both require an honest reckoning of another and of self.
CP: What surprised you the most during the composition of A Bestiary? How did the act of writing it change you?
LH: As my editor, you're in a unique position because you've read the original and then the revision, which is this book. They're very different books. So I'd say the most surprising part of composing A Bestiary was the revision process. I've never pushed myself so hard. I was working in a haze: sleeping every other night or so. Keep in mind, I had my tenure box due the same day as edits to you, and the semester was beginning. So, even without procrastinating, things were overwhelming. I couldn't think straight. I would write a paragraph and have my friend Carmen editorially allow or cut. I gave her complete control. I wrote three completely different drafts of the last essay in the book. And in the end, she was always right.
I have never felt overwhelmed before, and revising this book, I felt overwhelmed: an entirely new emotion.
CP: The fairy tales and mythological accounts in A Bestiary operate as metaphor, allegory, framework, grounding force, and guide. Have you always been interested in the fantastic? In how imaginative stories influence real-life perceptions?
LH: Every kid hears fairy tales and every kid is influenced by them, so in that way, yes, I've always been interested in the fantastic. Kate Bernheimer's The Complete Tales of Ketzia Gold taught me that fairy tales can interact with the real and that collision can produce something truly spectacular.
CP: Name the nonfiction writers who are most exciting to you now (living or dead), those who have been on your mind in, say, the last year or so? Are you learning from them, raging against them, feeling intimate, energized, or bewildered?
LH: I recently taught Creative Non-Fiction for the first time. In many ways, it was because of this class that I was able to generate the first draft of A Bestiary. The readings influenced me—Montaigne and Virginia Woolf, Maggie Nelson and Jenny Boully, to name a few—and of course my students influenced me. All student work engages me on many different emotional levels (those you named above and some more, too).
CP: What are you working on now?
LH: Ha! I'm finishing up the last round of edits for you! But afterwards, I was thinking about writing a book of fairy tales.
Lily Hoang is the author of four books, including Changing, recipient of a PEN Open Books Award. Her choose-your-own adventure love story Old Cat Lady (1913 Books) is forthcoming in 2015.

Can homeopathic treatments help with ADHD? Learn what the science says about alternative mental health therapies.
A 2012 study found homeopathy equally as effective as conventional therapy for treating ear infections.
I spent a year of my medical training on a clinical research rotation for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Our research focused on whether naturopathic interventions such as dietary counseling, nutritional or botanical supplementation and other CAM therapies might be helpful in treating ADHD.
We did see definite, worthwhile improvements with these types of interventions and lifestyle changes, but what really stood out were the effects we would see using homeopathic treatments. We formulated these treatments according to homeopathic guidelines, which indicate treating the whole person, so each patient got a unique remedy we felt fit their specific situation. Although I'd seen other successes in the use of homeopathy, this was noticeably significant. Many times, the families would find they couldn't make the other interventions work—changing diets, taking supplements or increasing exercise—so the only treatment they would successfully complete would be the homeopathic one.
The families would come back and say that, after the homeopathic treatment, they began to see improvements, and those changes enabled them to follow up with some of the other changes. The workings of homeopathy are mysterious; they defy current scientific understanding. That can make it easy for some experts to shrug off homeopathy's successes as coincidental findings or placebo effects. Yet three randomized, double-blind studies from 1997 to 2005 show significant improvement with the homeopathic approach to ADHD; what's more, the studies showed that improvements often lasted up to one-and-a-half years with only one to two doses of the remedies. Considering the cost and side effects of conventional approaches to ADHD, even the American Academy of Pediatrics has said that the homeopathic approach is worth a closer look. Despite homeopathy's mysterious nature, such results have been seen in other areas as well: For example, a 2012 study found homeopathy to be equally effective as conventional therapy in treating ear infections (acute otitis media).

Discussion in 'Hangout' started by harsha sunkavalli, Aug 29, 2014.
I second this name .
Hi Harsha,
Any news about the opening? Wish we could all have a meet planned for Navya Andhra Pradesh TFI members.
Looks like Mr. Harsha is too busy with the SC setup, one cant blame him
Would be nice if he could suggest names or top names on his list. We would also love to see a live feed of inauguration or pics atleast.
Not sure same, but one Turbo Automotives, Vijaywada has posted their page on TFi facebook page.
Good name
Can @harsha sunkavalli pls confrm if the name as posted by Ravi is the name of his new dealership? The Fiat India website still isnt updated with the new dealership details.
@Ravi, you are right. I had seen Fiat punto stickered with the same name on the hatch. I had been to their work shop site which is yet to be completed. Did feel like talking to the inmates in the car for further details. Since family members were there it would be odd to stop the car and talk to them.
Let us wait for @harsha sunkavalli to respond
@Ravi you are right.
@harsha sunkavalli, a young, dynamic engineering graduate is the Director of Turbo Automotives, Vijayawada, are the Dealers for Vijayawada and Guntur.
The link to the fb page is https://www.facebook.com/turboautomative Workshop will be functional in a fortnight.
Showroom opening is likely to take another month as per the information received. People in Coastal AP have to wait till the Showroom opens to own the Avventura/Punto/Linea as getting it from Hyderabad invites double taxation.
One and only name is best
Team fiat
Every tfi member feel proud on it
Yes! It is happening. The new state of Andhra Pradesh is going to get its first Fiat showroom soon at its capital city
Separate names with a comma.

Visual controls are fantastic way to accelerate the pace of Lean transformation and improve daily outcomes. Well-designed visual controls help the people who work on shop floor and in office areas. However, managers also need visual controls to help them do their work.
Everyone can benefit from visual controls, from the bottom of the organization to the CEO. Much more can be done with them than is normally the case, and to far greater effect.
Over the years I have created many high-impact images that I have used in teaching and in presentations. These make great visual controls for work areas, conference rooms, managers' offices, etc.
Visit The Lean Shop to introduce these new visual controls to your organization.
Use these images and their powerful messages to promote and practice REAL Lean throughout the organization.
And, use Lean-themed products to promote teamwork or reward employees, and to inspire people and generate greater energy and enthusiasm.

You and me both, seems that 'polite' driving is being replaced by selfish driving...
I can think of a few 'ass's, that are far more offensive...;-)
Mini Countryman!
I slowly start to think that h5djr is working on a guide to all Audi dealers in England, and 1001 questions you can ask them.
Haha. This thread is funny. I think, if people are 'offended' by my use of my brake lights when stationary, then they shouldn't stop so close to me, and they shouldn't look into my brake lights. In fact, maybe it will stop people sitting right up my ar5e.
I might complain to the Highways Agency/council or whoever it is and tell them to turn the red traffic light off when I'm stationary behind it. How dare they shine a red light at me. I am deeply offended.
Oh and I probably shouldn't say this, but I even turn my all-weather lights on, in the dark, when the weather conditions are fine. And I've now found a way to disable my headlight washers. Oooohhhh what a selfish and offensive driver I am.
You didn't used to drive a BMW by any chance!
I think being 'right up Scott's ar5e' is the last place I'd want to be...
Haha! No, I didn't. I had a Golf GTI, and before that, a 8P3.
Have you ever thought about a Skoda? :icon_thumright:
That's a shame, I thought we were getting on really well
I don't find brake lights a big problem if you're in a street lit area but if stopped at lights without street lighting they are very bright compared to everything else. As for not looking at them, you can hardly not when stopped in traffic as they fill the whole forward view.
I agree it's more of a problem when you're in an area with no street lights. High level brake lights are often more of a problem than the normal brake lights. Traffic lights are specificly design not to produce glare.
Really? I find some of the latest LED traffic lights are awful. But then I just look away from them. Problem solved.
In town latest street lights really dazzle... just try driving west on the M4 near Swindon and the street lights to your right (North) are terrible.
I have no problems with cars in front of me braking.. it actually means something to realise someone is stopped or stopping. BUT as this is about hold assist all I would recommend is .. if you haven't had it any comments are presumably based on prejudice or pre-conceptions.. I remember when my old Dad first had a car with a heater people saying they would never catch on.... move on or stay in is my motto ;-)
The thread is actually about the 'Hold Assist and brake lights'. I've no doubt that many people find Hold Assist is very useful but it's the fact that it keeps the brake lights on that slightly bothers me. I will almost certainly add it to my options list and then I can choose if I want to use it on a regular basis or just continue to use the parking brake.
Hold assist on A7 and A5 did not involve brake lights which as posted tend to come on when you press the pedal on the left (or middle on M6 versions)
To be candid I am neither worried nor concerned either way!
Then you are selfish and probably an ex-BMW driver!
Not me Scott, I've looked at the opposition but have never owned one. Logically there will be many ex BMW drivers with Audis as they are now IMHO a better product .
My comment about not caring is solely about the relationship between hold assist and brake lights which seems to be of great concern to some on here.
How did we get to a 56 post thread on this subject!?!
Yes be brake lights are bright, yes it looks as though they stay on with hold assist, however I'd prefer it to do this having been rear ended by someone before when I was stationary and they hit us at 30mph writing our car off, who said "I didn't realise you were stopped".
I now always keep my foot on the brake when stopped anyway, plus having had lots of autos I tend not to use the handbrake and just hold it on the brake before going.
The lights will come on because you've applied the brake to instigate it. How long they stay on is down to Audi's timer setting and whatever they deemed as acceptable during testing/design. I had Hill Hold Assist on a Passat and I think it takes a couple of minutes to switch to handbrake. Something you knew was happening, as the brake pedal would go soft and depress if your foot was still on it.
I think historically the reason for applying the handbrake was to stop the car shunting forward in the event of being hit from behind, as your foot will come off the pedal (or rather the car and pedal will come forward and out from under your foot).
Well we all seemed to be able to cope fine without the brake lights coming on with hold assist. To suggest that without it you are more likely to be at risk of being 'rear ended' is pure tosh and theatrical. I have been driving since I was 17, without hold assist, and never once has a car been driven into the rear of mine and never once have I driven into the rear of one. To suggest that the hold assist is some safety feature is pure fantasy...
Well Audi clearly see it as a safety feature... Listed under A3 -AUDI Safety
Hill hold assist â Audi A3 - Audi UK
Hold assist on steep upward and downward slopes
The Audi Hill hold assist system provides hill start assistance and the ability to drive off both upward and downward slopes without rolling.
How Audi hill hold assist works
Activated via a button next to the electromechanical parking brake, Audi Hill hold assist takes over when the vehicle is below crawling speed, or when it detects your vehicle is at a standstill.
The system then stops your vehicle and holds it in a stationary position until you drive away.
If the vehicle stays stationary, the electromechanical parking brake is automatically activated. However, when the system is in operation you can still drive away without releasing the parking brake.
Youâll be able to see that hill hold assist has been activated via your instrument display.
The Audi Hill hold assist is particularly useful for those using a trailer towing hitch.
If you read my post you would have seen that I am referring to the brake lights coming on with hold assist and not hold assist itself. Having said that we all managed quite well without it using the 'analogue' method of keeping the car stationary,, ie. the handbrake...
This is what you posted hence my comment !! I for one am very happy for my brake lights to be on when I am stationary and it has zilch (polite word) all to do with being selfish.
I agree that it is a good idea to keep your brake lights on when you are the last car in a queue. As soon as another car becomes the last car in the queue I do whatever is necessary to make my brake lights go out. If I'm stopped for some reason on a fast road or motorway I tend to 'flash' my brake lights to indicate that I'm stopped in a place where you would not usually stop, until the next car stops behind me.
I have been parked at a set of traffic lights in Germany and been rear-ended by a car hitting me a over 40mph. I was even 'flashing' my brake lights at the time but I could see in my rear-view mirror that the young lady driving the car was too busy looking sideways at her passenger to notice. Because I had my handbrake on the damage to the car in front was minimal. My 2 year old Audi 80 was a write-off. That was an unlucky car as it had already been rear-ended when it was parked. IT was badly damaged by an American serviceman who had only just arrived in this country and forgot that, to avoid a car that he spotted at the last minute, he needed to move to the Right rather than his normal Left! The car had to be taken to the dealers on a trailer.
As far as the number of posts in this thread is concerned, I always thought that was what a forum was all about - talking to other people. If anyone is no longer interested in a particular thread no one is forcing them to read it.
As for me preparing a book "100 things to ask a dealer". If I was to write one it will probably be called "100 things to TELL your dealer" as I find with all the research I do I know a lot more about the cars than some dealers sales staff as I'm sure do a lot of the members of ASN. To some of the sales staff the cars are just part of a job, to others and members of ASN they are an interest and a hobby. The comment has be made to me by sales staff a number of times "You certainly know your A3s".
This thread has a clear title "Hold Assist and brake lights". Personally I am not disputing the merits of Hold Assist or even Hill hold for that matter but the relationship between Hold Assist and the A3s brake lights. If you find that boring don't look in to this thread.
This is a general post and not aimed at 'Itguy' in any way and who's opinion I respect.
And yet if you look just 3 posts above, you'll see someone who has experienced exactly this! So not fantasy at all.
Not that statistically accurate is it. Surely having brake lights on isn't that big a deal if you are braking or stationary ... or maybe it is to some...
I just want to be able to turn mine off when hold assist is on, shouldn't be too much to ask should it as it isn't a legal requirement at all. I think that is fair enough...
If you have one of the new BMW with the auto boxes you have to put your brake on to get the stop start to work in traffic. Also to keep putting it in "N" and then back to drive is a fiddly job with the BMW gear stick. So not surprised the Audi system is similar.
So if you are very stuck behind me in my company BMW I will blind you with my rear LED lights. Sorry.
If you have a company BMW my S3 is unlikely to be behind you! ;-)
The only way I have found to turn off the brake lights with Hold Assist on is to manually flick on the handbrake button. This does not disable Hold Assist as it will activate again automatically when you next stop the car (albeit with brake lights on again).
As far as understand if you stop and Start/Stop cuts in and Hold Assist is holding the car the brake lights will be on as well BUT according to the Owner's Manual (p95) "In certain circumstances, the hold assist transfers the job of holding the vehicle to the parking brake. As soon as the parking brake is holding the vehicle still, the 'P' symbol appears in the instrument cluster" as it would if you had applied the parking brake. There is no indication of what the 'circumstances' might be but personally I think it may be if you are stopped for quite a long period, for example at a level crossing when there are several trains passing. I will keep an eye on mine and see if this is the case.
It is nice with my new 8V s-tronic that the hold assist means I no longer have to keep my foot on the brake to stop the engine starting again. As soon as I can move again I just need to press the throttle and away.
I've never had the parking brake get applied after hold assist has been on for a while, even after waiting a long time.
Never seen mine do this in the 7 months I have had it. It's either handbrake symbol in green (Hold Assist engaged) or same symbol in red (handbrake engaged). The only time I see the symbol in red is:
Engine ignition turned on ie initial start
When I have applied it manually
Ignition turned off.
no one ever found the answer or replied back with how many seconds or minutes after the parking break applies itself thus brake light going off.
I don't think anyone has waited that long. We're not talking seconds here....
Feel free to try it and post back on the forum.
I've never had it happen, and I've been on hold assist a long time before.
I have actually been through VCDS looking for a way to switch off the brake lights that activate when HHA is holding the brakes on.
In my last Audi, I was bashed in the backend when I was stationary in a queue of traffic.
While the lady that drove into me admitted full liability and there was no question of blame, she said that my brake lights were so bright she was dazzled and could not see me properly!
Seems like a lose lose situation!!!
I don't think you should do that. Hold assist is to replace the foot brake, not the parking brake.
It's safest to have the brake lights lit so drivers behind (idiots excepted) can see you have/are stopped.
To avoid blinding stationary cars behind you, flick the parking brake which should switch off the brake lights.
@leosayer1 agreed.
However, I am the first to moan about auto drivers that sit at traffic lights with their foot on the brake blinding the poor guy behind.
Now, with HHA I am doing the same as they are, admittedly its laziness on my part.
Looks like either the driver or the car weren't in a fit shape to be on the road.
The lady driver I mean

Well we were wrong, crossing a sage field with small trees in it we noticed the water temp gauge going up. After stopping to check it out we found a tree limb stuck in the bottom of the plastic radiator. To fix that from ever happening again we designed the radiator skid.

Northrop to Move, Ending an Era
Northrop Grumman Corp. said Monday it plans to move its headquarters to the Washington, D.C., area from Los Angeles, marking the departure of the last major aerospace firm from the industry's birthplace in Southern California.
The shift will put Northrop's top executives near its biggest U.S. military and intelligence customers and the congressional holders of the military's purse strings.

after it happened, max was going to buy me a new pair of the exact style ... until i saw the nearly $300 price tag. i couldn't justify spending that much again (at the time, they were a splurge on myself after i quit the news station).
luckily, he accepted my insistence because i saw these pretty girls blog about Warby Parker & loving their new specs and i was seriously impressed! $95 dollars (includes prescription and no shipping) for trendy glasses? and not only that-- but for every pair they sell, they donate one to a person in need.
i was in love with them and even moreso after getting The Zagg Eyeglasses in Tennessee Whiskey from my husband!

BondLady Chat - Post By BondLadys Corner
[BondLady] seems i got bashed pretty heavy from some places for it as i didn't have a clue to what was really going on in iraq politics and the people in charge so i redefined and proved what i said
[BondLady] 1 of the best posts though i've seen out there was sent to me by some one..... from a woman who used to or may still have her site on the net and whose claim to fame was she has read the constitution...was...highlander
[BondLady] this is highlanders coment from some other site....................................... I happen to agree with BondLady. Power sharing does not work in any government in any country. That would be like our President having to power share with a co president.
There is some background to the Kurds that one must look at to understand that whole situation. And as for Allawi he is just a walking disaster. He gets his funding from the Saudis.
The Saudis are primarily Sunni based in power and they are also the number one country in the region for financing terrorism and Al Qaeda.
A lot of the problems that Iraq is having is started from outside influences but not from the places that people suspect nor from the places the US media always shoves down our throats.
Allawi won't even attend the meetings in parliament or cast a vote.
Read More Link On Right
Allawi has tried to stage a walk out on parliament and the council of ministers this year and completely shut down the government.
The list used to have 91 seats in parliament and be a united front. Because of Allawi they now have about 32 seats left because the list has fractured and formed new parties and separated from Allawi.
As far as Barzani and the Kurds go that is a long story all by itself but I can tell you this, they only want Kirkuk for the oil and the very rich agricultural land in that region and as we all know the Kurds don't think they should have to share their oil profits with anybody else.
The Barzani family has been in control of the Kurdistan region for over 30 years and his son is set to take over after him. Now how is that democratic?
Under article 140 the Kirkuk province has the right to choose whether they want to be a part of the Kurdistan region or fall under Baghdad and have their own provincial council.
They chose to be their own province and they are suppose to hold elections in March. The Kurds don't want to let it go so they surrounded Kirkuk with the Peshmagra last year illegally.
They did finally pull about 20 miles out and set up camp but they still shouldn't be there at all. Maliki is moving the Iraq forces in to ensure that they have a fair e election without interference IMO.
[BondLady] Maliki is moving the Iraq forces in to ensure that they have a fair election without interference IMO.
And as far as BondLady changing her opinions well I say good for her! When a person is researching and new information is brought to their attention an honest person will look at it and study it which may then alter their original thoughts and opinions and cause them to grow.
I think that is what you see happening with BondLady and I for one am okay with growth in an individual occurring!
[BondLady] so to me she had this right someone had said i was flip flopping basically said i was for allawi last year but for maliki this year
[BondLady] most of you very well know me for at least 3 years now what my stance is for allawi he's a db in the biggest way just like sadr is and anyone who can't or won't see that is clueless
[BondLady] our chats and posts fly all over the net theres not a person out there who wants there name dragged through the mud relentlessly everytime they talk
[BondLady] through all the years i've tried to help people with my history and breakdowns of this whole mess...and to try to help without any hidden agendas it gets old
[tlm724] yes especially when you ALWAYS back it up with fact
[BondLady] no matter what we say or do some of the simplest lilttle things will be brought up and escalated into major gripes and bs sessons like timmys laws she found for instance
[BondLady] when she said new laws were put in the gazette
[BondLady] she didn't clarify some of these laws were old saddam laws that had to be amended before they could be used so they were and passed into law and gazetted
[BondLady] some were brand new laws and not old ones with amendments so we get bashed for not saying new laws and amended laws
[tlm724] which will be corrected this morning
[BondLady] its enough to make us all want to stop doing what we do it gets old will we stop? NO
[BondLady] i made you a promise and i'll keep my word ...my word is my bond and without that there is no truth
[BondLady] will my team continue on inspite of ungrateful appetites who seek to crush and hurt us - sure will cause we're all cut from the same cloth were tough like john wayne toilet paper...rough and tough and don't take crap off no body a little humor to a screwed up situation
SHREDD: Well said and thank you Bondlady for your expertise in the politics of Iraq....it comes from the countless hours you put into this investment. You so very clearly explained what is going on and grabbed the history too.
I've learned that everyone has their own opinions and their frustration with being wrong and having to wait brings out the negative emotions. I've learned what to look for, what to trust, and when we see the actions like you said, it paints a little more of the picture.
The banking and investment laws are a good example......so many people are only looking for the rv an not clues to the greater picture. So many people won't even read or skim an article if the title doesn't say cbi or dinar in the title.
This adds to ignorance and in the laws example, they lack the ability to understand how, even though these don't say rv tomorrow, they are a massive, factual, key accomplishment and open the doors to investment which is the fuel behind any economy.
Without this, you have no investment, no loans, no substantial growth, then, no progress, and then, no need for and no possibility of a strong dinar.
Was a stronger dinar "supposed" to be out by now? Sure, but it didn't. Can't have the cart before the horse. If people would just look at the whole picture, they'd see this!
From my banking experience and exposure to all financial products, its been concerning for me to not see a dang thing from Iraq all this time, but now I know we will and I know what that means to an economy.....the fuel for what we are waiting for.
REFLECTION: Well said Bondlady and thank you for everything you and you team do.
Shredd, I agree. I don't read every article and don't fully understand how all these laws and political actions work. I understand ya can't have the cart before the horse.
I'm grateful and very thankful that you and others here break things down and help us learn how things work. With everyone's help here, I've learned a little and it seems pretty evident that there's forward progress being made.
Maybe not as fast as I'd like to see it, but there's progress being made. With any luck, maybe things will speed up soon.
Thank you all for the help you give in all this. It's truly appreciated.
TLM724: I want to take a moment to address the recent comments and posts from other dinar related web sites.
I speak specifically to the owners, administrators and moderators. When you post comments about other dinar sites it may be a good idea to read, understand and know what is being discussed prior to making your comments public.
By continually making comments about what you perceive is being said without prior knowledge of the subject you appear uneducated and uninformed.
Please have some pride in yourself and practice responsibility for your members. This will be the one and only time I will address such nonsense.
11/25/2012 09:33:54 am
But our President does share power though he thinks he doesn't have to. We have the Congress. Otherwise we would have a dicatorship.
11/25/2012 10:02:59 am
@Jamvox- that's not what she's saying. Iraq has a parliament. That's not power sharing. That's an accountability structure. Nothing more, nothing less. Power sharing can be simply explained like this-
11/25/2012 10:30:26 am
This still has nothing to do with iraq .so this stuff doesn't hold a lot of water.
11/25/2012 10:35:30 am
Bondlady, I am relatively new to this investment but I want to comment you on the research and diligence reflected in your educational comments. As someone who has traveled extensively outside USA borders, I know that people (Americans) who live outside a neighborhood (especially Middle Eastern ones) generally possess strong opinions about issues and cultures of which they have no knowledge or understanding.
11/25/2012 10:51:30 am
Nonsense indeed, the Bashing I mean, When I see someone being bashed I skip over the whole article, I might miss something, but I can't stand the seems we are becoming a Nation of Custers...Custer was a Bully, but he got his due. Please don't bash...
11/25/2012 11:35:00 am
In the time I have been visiting and reading the events of this RV, I have become more and more discouraged by the posts. People...we are all in this together, but yet you sound like a bunch of school kids who always want to pick a fight. It is getting old and you need to be sent to your room. Bondlady obviously has spent hours of research to bring us information on our investment. If you think you can do it better...than do it and quit complaining when someone else does all the work for you. These sites are supposed to be a place we can come together, but many are just separately many from them through your lack of knowledge and constant complaining and bashing. In God's name, please stop it and instead say "Thank you" to all who have taken countless hours out of their lives to inform us.

The Fastnet Race is the world famous yacht race from the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland and back. The race of 1979 began in perfect weather conditions but within 48 hours, the deadliest storm in the history of modern sailing struck off the south coast of Ireland. By the time it had passed, the havoc caused was immeasurable. Even more devastating, it had mercilessly taken the lives of 15 sailors. It had been Nick Ward's childhood ambition to sail in the Fastnet Race, and after being asked to join the crew aboard the 30-foot yacht Grimalkin it was a dream come true. But then the storm hit.
Grimalkin was capsized again and again, the skipper was lost overboard and after hours of struggle, three of the crew decided to abandon the boat for the liferaft. Nick and his fellow crewmember Gerry, both injured and unconscious, were left on the beleaguered yacht in the middle of the Irish Sea. Both were presumed dead, and were taken off the priority list for rescue. Gerry died a few hours later, and Nick was left to face the storm alone.
Left for Dead is the tragic and inspirational story of Nick Ward's survival against all the odds. It is the story of an ordinary man who survived an extraordinary event. It was an experience that affected him so deeply that for over 25 years his story has remained untold - until now.

A must for all sailing addicts
- Brodie
The manner in which the authors bring the reader onto the boat and into his head is remarkable. Not being a sailing expert myself, I found it easy to understand the vernacular used during the story. However, this is as much a story about the psychology of survival rather than a sailing story. The author does an excellent job of bringing the reader into the thoughts and the ever-present internal struggle.
No. At times it was somewhat too intense to manage in one sitting.

Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss
Reviews (96)
Media (11)
Avon Glazewear is an affordable quality lip gloss. There are many different shades and finishes to choose from. They are not sticky or goopy feeling on the lips. The applicator is sturdy and well made which makes application a breeze. The lip gloss does stay on well but will transfer to cups, water bottles ect. It stays on as well as any of the higher end glosses that I have used in the past. Save your money and try Avon's Glazewear. They are reasonably priced and Avon puts them on sale often. I stock up on my favorites when they are on sale. I give this product an over all grade of A.
Not a bad gloss for the price but it tends to be stickier than other glosses I've tried. Very easy to use and glides on nice. Surprisingly the gloss seems to last for quite a while as well. Do I think you can get better glosses? Absolutely. For the price? Probably not.
Review for: Glazewear Lip Gloss
I love this product for an easy, everyday lip color. The color is solid without drying out, and lasts really well. I will usually chose a darker color to use in place of lip stick. The price is always right because everything on the Avon website is always on sale!
Review for: Glazewear Lip Gloss
I like a more natural or neutral look to my make up. I love Avon glazewear as it is gentle on my sensitive skin. I use shades of Brown for every day ware like sugar maple and island glow and occasionally when I want a more noticible look I use darling pink.
No es un mal lip gloss para su precio. Tiene buena pigmentacion. Lo negativo es que se cae con un suspiro. Si comes o tomas algo se cae super rapido, aparte siento que me reseca un poco los labios. Apesar de eso lo uso porque me gusta como se ve
Review for: Tickled Pink
I don't wear that much lip gloss but this color is so flattering on anyone. I also really like the Avon lip glosses. They are really pigmented for a gloss and they aren't sticky at all.
Review for: Glazewear Lip Gloss
Oh my isn't this sticky... It doesn't last anything on my lips and is not pleasant because of it's stickiness. But yeah, the colors are pretty (if you can get them to last).
Tickled pink has been my go-to shade for years! It is that hint of color I love for every day. What do these guys want me to say. It is a sheer pink and I like it. Ugh!
Review for: Glazewear Lip Gloss
So pretty!I really liked the Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss.So many pretty colors.They are shimmery and long lasting.They do become sticky after awhile,but they are pretty!
There's a variety of cute colors, they last quite long but they are a little bit sticky. The smells its not strong and the tint its not that bright.
Does this make your lips sticky?
How many shades are they ?
Has much glitter? or have matte shades?
Will you launch new stuff soon?
pleaaase tel me is it a waterproff glaze ?

Eco-Friendly Practices for Your House
How do you plan to spend this Sunday? The day happens to be World Environment Day (celebrated on June 5th of every year), a landmark global celebration that raises awareness about pressing environmental issues. In a time when forest cover and the fresh ground water table are quickly depleting, the ice caps melting, hundreds of rare plant and animal species are dying out, global temperatures are rising, and the level of pollutants surging, it is imperative that we all become more environmentally attuned and responsible. And it only makes sense to start with our homes – go through this quick list of fun and easy residential eco-friendly practices and try out the ones that suit you best.
Power up
Something as simple as substituting incandescent light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs can help save a lot more energy (around 66%) and money. In fact, every such replacement can cut down on 200 kgs of greenhouse gas emissions!
Pick your furniture carefully
Yes, even sofas, rugs, desks and tables, etc. can be made from greener materials, including all-natural jute fibers, non-toxic glues that are natural, renewable woods, organic fabric, etc. These might be slightly more expensive (greener alternatives are flooding the market everyday) than regular furniture but are recyclable, durable and eco-friendly.
Build wise
When building your home, use locally-sources building material instead of that which is brought in from elsewhere. Not only will you be helping your local economy, you will also be saying no to greenhouse gas emissions in the form of fuel usage (imagine the amount of petrol/diesel that would have been spent in having the ware driven down from another city).
Heating and cooling systems
Come winter or summer and we crank up the heater or AC respectively without thinking about the increased power consumption. Give these electrical devices a regular inspection to make sure that they are running at their efficient best. If you are buying a new device for your home, go in for one that consumes less power.
Tissue tips
We are all guilty of going through dozens of kitchen tissue rolls within a matter of days. Buy just one roll and use it like it is gold! The very thought of going back to the grocer's will make you use it economically. Another great alternative is to use microfiber towels as they last over multiple uses. Use old T-shirts and towels to clean the rest of the house and wash them when your washing machine has a full load.
Water woes
Rain water harvesting is catching on in a big way – not only is it clean and natural, it brings down your water bills considerably. Use recyclable steel bottles to carry your water in; water filter systems with inbuilt UV purification methods are another great way of saving on fuel (you won't have to heat water to purify it).
Solar panels
The sun is the biggest source of clean energy – installing solar water heating panels will lower your power consumption levels (bye bye, geyser). What about days when it is cloudy or raining, you ask? Solar panels continuously absorb solar heat energy and transfer it to water. This water is then stored in an insulated tank and can be used later. Another trick employed by many is the use of water heaters as a backup mechanism – any time the solar panels are not able to get enough sun, you can just turn them on.
Organic kitchen waste can be composted to use on your garden plants – not only is it a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers, it reduces the amount of garbage collected from every house.
Frame it
Pick wooden door and window frames over metal or unplasticized poly vinyl chloride ones. The former is durable and recyclable – you can also easily make repairs in case of any damage. Energy efficient, well-insulated window glass will regulate inside temperatures, thereby reducing the need for artificial cooling or heating.
Go all-natural
Use essential oils and potpourri in your bedroom instead of artificial aerosol air fresheners. Use glass, ceramic or silicone dishes in the oven for lower energy consumption – it takes lesser time to heat them up when compared to other materials.
Going green might require a fair bit of effort and time, but the long-term benefits are well worth it all. Get your electrical appliances serviced for better performance and economical power usage – get a service professional from Housejoy to do it for you right away.

Cassations et évocations dans les remontrances des parlements au XVIIIe siècle
Even though two periods in the eighteenth century (the thirties and the first part of the fifties) concentrate the most important number of remonstrances, denouncing cassations and evocations in the parlements of Paris, Rouen and Rennes, nevertheless these questions took up very little room in the whole production of remonstrances. But, the issues had changed, from defining the boundaries of the spiritual and the temporal to the defence of jurisdiction's degrees and claims that each parlement was the indisputed master in its jurisdiction. Tension remained periodic between the justice delegated to the magistrates and the one the king hold back.

Discussion of zoning issue contentious in Tamaqua
Representatives from Tamaqua's council, planning and zoning boards met Tuesday night to discuss the Eastern Schuylkill Regional Planning zoning ordinance and land development ordinance, a meeting which was both contentious and productive.
Tamaqua councilman Justin Startzel asked for the meeting during the borough's meeting last week. ESRP unites Tamaqua and three townships, Walker, Schuylkill and Rush, in a regional ordinance, and representatives from those entities have been working on it for about 12 years.
All four entities have approved it, and the next step is to have the plan approved by Schuylkill County. After that, there will be a public hearing, followed by another meeting where the four governing boards put it to a vote.
Two members of the Tamaqua Planning Commission, Chairman Tony Rodrigue and Timothy Stahl, found fault with the language of certain sections, especially the section dealing with accessory buildings, structures and uses. In response to a request from Tamaqua, ESRP had added language to make it easier for someone to put up a shed in a residential area.
The section states "In instances where there are adjoining residential properties where accessory buildings or structures were legally erected prior to the effective date of this ordinance, that do not conform to this (set back) requirement, then the zoning officer shall allow the applicants proposed accessory building to match the setback distances that said adjoining properties accessory buildings have."
Stahl read the section aloud, and said that because of the wording, it could be interpreted different ways. He then addressed Bob Ritsick, who is Rush Township's representative for ESRP.
"There could be some chinks in your wonderful plan," Stahl said.
Ritsick responded that ESRP had asked for input for 12 years, and had not received anything from the Tamaqua Planning Commission. He accused Stahl of "looking to nitpick," and the two men argued the semantics of the section before Tamaqua Council President Micah Gursky intervened.
"You're never going to make it airtight," Gursky said. "But this accomplishes what we wanted to accomplish."
As the sometimes heated exchanges moved on to other topics, attorney Robert Frycklund, solicitor for Tamaqua's Zoning Hearing Board, said, "I had two custody cases today that weren't this hostile."
Rodrigue and Stahl questioned sections of the ordinance that addressed self-storage businesses, home-based businesses and parking requirements for downtown businesses. Gursky said that when an entity drafts language to address zoning and land development that pleases everybody, it isn't an easy process.
"You're looking for trouble that's not there," Gursky said. "Every time we asked them (ESRP) to change the ordinances, they did it; and we put out requests specifically in a letter."
Tamaqua councilman Dave Mace suggested that Rodrigue and Stahl commit their ideas to writing and submit them to borough council, which would have to approve the ideas before making submission to ESRP.
In addition to Gursky, Startzel and Mace, Tamaqua council members who attended were Tom Cara, Kerry Lasky and Brian Connely. Frank Kane represented Tamaqua's Zoning Hearing Board. Tamaqua's Zoning Officer Josh Esposito also attended.

text: I got UO gpsp kai 3.4 test 3 yesterday (it was the first GBA emulator I found that I could boot correctly), started playing a few Japanese roms, saved properly in-game, turned the PSP off. Today I pick it back up, my save data is gone and I only get the option to start a new game on both games I'd played. (FFVI and Shingata Medarot). The save states work just fine, but I'd rather use the in-game saves. Anyone have any idea why it's doing this? I tried googling but everything I find pertains to VBA->gpsp save transfer.

Hita is where our friend's grandparents live, so we were lucky to be shown around this town for a wonderful day. Hita is known as Little Kyoto because it was modelled after the merchant culture of Kyoto. Walking the streets of the preserved Mameda Town is like stepping back in time. We visited our friends' grandma's house, walked around the town in free rental kimonos and enjoyed the lantern festival that was happening at the time. All photos thanks to Motoki (he's the best photogapher!)
While in Hita, we also visited this waterfall that you can walk behind/under. It was a freezing day, not exactly the right weather to be walking under waterfalls, but still really good to see.
At night time, we walked around the town, illuminated with lanterns. The town looked so beautiful illuminated, even in the rain.

Azim Shariff
Azim Shariff is Assistant Professor of Psychology and Social Behavior at the University of California, Irvine, and director of the CaML.

He then brain-drained to America where he spent 6 years at the University of Oregon. He started at UCI in 2016.
Graduate Students
Colton Christian is a doctoral student interested in interpersonal perception. Colton is currently studying how power produces a number of functional biases related to the perception of anger. More specifically, he's interested in whether powerful people (or people primed with power) are more likely to infer that someone else is expressing anger compared to powerless people (or people who aren't primed with power).
Brian is a third year doctoral student broadly interested in all things relevant to morality. Brian is currently studying hypocrisy, with a particular focus on morally-relevant issues therein, from two angles: 1) understanding how and why adhering to moral intuitions, personal beliefs, and expressed attitudes conflicts with self-interest and other moral intuitions (basically, what makes people hypocrites) and 2) understanding how and why people attribute hypocrisy as an explanation of others' behavior (basically, what makes people call other people hypocrites).
Erik earned his BS in Psychology and BA in Chemistry from the Ohio State University. Prior to attending UO, he worked for John Cacioppo and Louise Hawkley as a Research Project Manager at the Social Neuroscience Lab at the University of Chicago. He is primarily interested in the biopsychological effects of stability in social hierarchies as well as the consequences of status and power for stress, immunity, and health.
Will is a third year doctoral student primarily interested in the development of social influences on value computation. Central to this work is a focus on combining approaches from several different levels of analysis in order to robustly explore the neuroscience of social cognition. Additional interests include neuroeconomics, moral decision making, anarchogenetics, tail-having things, dissent, borders, chaos, almonds, islands, chambers, neurds, boxen, cyborg discourse, lumping, splitting, and opening sources.
Joe is a second year doctoral student primarily working in the developmental area. In addition to interests in theory of mind and perspective taking, he is also curious about how human minds utilize beliefs and values to create and maintain worldviews in various domains, including the moral and the spiritual.
Lab Manager
Undergraduate RAs
Adam is a senior double majoring in Psychology & Biology, with an emphasis in Neuroscience. While his interests are broad in the field of Psychology, he plans to pursue a doctorate in Cognitive Neuroscience, where he is interested in working with neuroimaging (fMRI) to investigate the neurobiological mechanisms of religious and non-religious beliefs, experiences, and their associated differences. In addition to working with the Culture and Morality lab, Adam is also a Resident Assistant for University Housing, where he serves as an academic mentor for students living in the residence halls and encourages them to get involved in scientific research on campus.
Shanna is a departmental honor student double majoring in Psychology and Religious Studies and is a minor in Philosophy. Her interests include situation and applied ethics, moral psychology, and liberation theology. She plans to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology after graduating from the UO. She enjoys reading the existentialists, hiking, spending time with friends and family, writing fiction, baking vegan desserts… and indulging in the consumption.
Lab Alumni
Thomas was our lab manager from 2010 to 2011. He now co-owns and runs downtown Eugene's hottest coffeeshop/bar, The Barn Light, with a second location opening this summer.
Cassie earned her B.S. in Psychology and Religious Studies from the University of Oregon, and was an RA, honors student and eventually lab manager in the CaML (as well as the Social Psychoneuroendocrinology Lab). She is interested in the intersection of social, biological, and clinical variables, and as of Fall 2016, has started her PhD with Jennifer Tackett at Northwestern University. Cassie enjoys culinary pursuits, comedy, Freddie Mercury, Keanu Reeves, and music from the golden age of the 1990s.
