Do you find it really hard being a loner?
Discuss and talk about any general topic.
Moderators: jamesbond, fschmidt
It's not difficult for me being a loner in America. I'm use to it and I don't want to have to masquerade any more than I have to. I couldn't be genuine to many people in America because my views do not conform to the way the thought police want people to think. I am not brainwashed or easily swayed by others. I make my own choices and don't want anyone sabotaging them. I've also been betrayed and ignored many times by fellow Americans that I am better off being alone while I am in America, than risk another betrayal or being ignored. I never had too many good experiences. No one truly wanted to be a friend. Either a person is interested in trying to develop a friendship with me or I don't need them to be in my life.

The difference is you know (or at least believe) that you could approach those people and easily make a new friend (the occasional stolen camera and attempted mugging, notwithstanding ).
In 'Murika, there is often the feeling that any stranger approaching you wants something or has an angle, and you pick up their apprehension.
Being in a place where you think people are inclined to be friendly vs one where you think they might assault you at "hello".
Media fear-pr0n doesn't help, either.

"Even an American judge is unlikely to award child support for imputed children." - FredOnEverything
It's interesting, I've only been in perhaps two relationships where I felt unhappy or not free to do as I pleased at home. The current gf never criticizes me at all, nor makes me feel insecure in any way, and the idea of us arguing seems ridiculous. I think you have some deep psychological issues when it comes to inadequacy, and that you've yet to actually date a girl that was a good fit for you. When you do, things just kind of "work" in a way is hard to describe.
Been a "loner" all my life. Have always seemingly had friends wherever I am currently living though. Maybe it's the way I carry myself but I rarely have any problems striking up conversations with people, some have even seemed delighted that I actually spoke to them... maybe they are loners too heheh
The area might make a difference also. In the uptight business districts of larger cities... I get the leave me alone vibe from many, or the "I'm too busy checking my stock tickers to talk, why are you looking at me" vibe, however that's my own fault for going to these kind of places during business lunch hours lol
Outside of those types of districts I generally never have a problem being alone. Most places I go out to eat in the evenings, within a week or so of going there a couple times, the staff or owners may know me by name at this point, which of course the other customers pick up on (more of a vibe thing) and have no problems joining in on chit chat, heck even made some new friends this way.
I rarely go to a place looking to meet new friends though, I go because I like the food or whatever, the chit chat and befriending just happens on it's own, at least for me.
Maybe the key is to not let the inner loner feelings project (you may not even realize it comes out in your body language), because in my experience this does show and gives a creepy vibe to those who are not super keen on reading body language.
Short story:
I was at a bar some time ago enjoying a glass of wine by myself, the bar was pretty full except for 3 empties near my end. A younger guy comes in alone and sits at the very end stool leaving one empty between us... which is of course normal bar protocol thing. His nervousness was showing quite a bit, fidgeting with his phone and overcompensating for his nervousness by talking to himself quietly a bit.
Whenever the bartender spoke to him he acted as if it was a life line. I spoke to him after he finished his meal, just a simple hey it's kind of a drag in here tonight, not many chicks eh? type of thing and he seemed almost relieved someone other than the bartender acknowledged his existence. His nervousness and body language changed immediately to that of any other normal dude.
Conversely however I've experienced this with groups too, regardless of gender. It depends on what they are talking about though, I have no problems butting in on a topic (or lack of one if they are just sitting around), of course this requires knowledge on it and keeping it alive until ice is fully broken lol. Most times they will keep talking to me, if not I do the nomad thing. Only once have I gotten a rude response to this type of thing to which I ask them why are they going to a social place then? lol
Anyway, my opinion is to just do whatever soul searching one needs to find happiness with yourself first. If you are happy and confident in yourself, this will come across in how you carry yourself. In regards to human interaction, I've learned and experienced that if I go out looking for something I generally never find it, but if I go out not giving crap and just happy to be alive, things find me with no effort on my part other than just being myself.
If all else fails visit a truck stop sometime, one can almost always find a friendly face there. Truckers have no problems striking up conversation, they desire human interaction like all of us and the truck stop is their oasis
Yeah that's really the key. If you're not comfortable with who you are, I believe those inner 'creepy' feelings manifest themselves as a creepy vibe that's impossible to mask. A few women I've dated have told me I have this invisible shield up, or that I'm like a stone. This is an impression some people give when they're not comfortable in their own skin or around others....not good.

"It takes far less effort to find and move to the society that has what you want than it does to try to reconstruct an existing society to match your standards." - Harry Browne
House, why do you always have to play some superiority game to Winston or anyone else? Seriously, are you really, such a special person?
In reality, Winnie was not meant for a meaningful relationship. He's way past that age, 28-38 (with a bit of a zone in that upper bracket), where a man can find a real match, for his personality type.
Once a guy is beyond that range, it's not very likely that a so-called *soul mate*, is in his horizon. Instead of accepting that and then, f*cking hoes, like Bosstone, who's honest with himself, Winnie insists upon lying and believing in the omnipresence of perfect relationships.
Many years ago, the Best Picture of 1999, "American Beauty", telegraphed the message of Happier Abroad to the world.
Beware of long term engagements with AWs, you may find yourself in a coffin.
AB discussion thread
BTW, despite settling down with an AW, myself, the warning is still in effect.
I think the main thing that creates introverts is whether your parents respected you and treated you as your own person, or were they emotionally abusive. If the parents are cruel and cold to their own children, those children will grow up to be timid and introverted. I bet extroverts simply have parents who treated them fairly and respected them as individuals.
But probably most people who are extroverted as simply narcissists and sociopaths pretending to be brave.
You're better off not dealing with most Americans. I don't blame people for not wanting to make friends. Most people, men and women, are backstabbers, gossipers, slanderers, and will try to ruin your friendships, employment, ability to get women, and reputation.
Imagine forming a friendship with an American that turns out to be one way. You think dude is your friend but he's not. He's just friendly with you. Meanwhile, with the psychos like him that he's really friends with, he's spreading your business around and twisting it to laugh at you and make you look stupid to others. If he finds out any embarrassing details about you, or if you reveal to him a secret, he immediately goes back and tells everyone, because it's funny to him to both expose you and to see that you can do nothing about it, because you're not violent. Imagine having a friend who keeps your secrets, until he finds an opportunity to embarrass you and destroy another relationship that you have.
Imagine realizing that your new friend is a jerk, and like a female dog of the species that everyone here despises so much, gets upset with you when you no longer want to be his friend. Lots of dudes I stopped being friends with after I realized they approved of murder, feminism, or who just thought they were going to be my leader instead of my friend.
Re: Do you find it really hard being a loner?
As an outsider one of the first things that strike you about america, after I've never seen so many fat farks in my life, is they are all so friendly. Everyone talks to you like they are lifelong mates. But it is false. You never get past the " hi how ya doin". It seems so plastic. Australians would come second in that department. Every one is mate.
In europe and sa people are more reserved but interactions are more real. They are civil and honest. After a while, if you respect and like each other they deepen.
Northern Europe and Canada are cold and reserved and they don't greet or showhatever friendliness. They are not hospitable. Sa and southern europe people are friendly and hospitable and easily take you into their homes.
Americans are also hospitable and appear welcoming. But there is something different about interactions with Americans. Relations don't seem to progress beyond a shallow level. Maybe not with foreigners but only amongst themselves?
Of course the above only applies if you are white. A non white person may have a totally different experience.
Re: Re:
Thats not true. People of all ages can find their soulmate. Mark davis is older than me yet he found his soulmate. I found a soulmate last year in china with lisa. But for some unknown reason my soulmate relationships go south or turn 180 even though i went with the flow and did nothing wrong.
Maybe it was just an infatuation. If a woman truly loves you, she will not change her love for trivial reasons or spin things against you.
Some guys are unlucky like that. Or their soul may repel relationships because they are freethinkers and are on a mission of spiritual growth in life and cannot be bogged down by a relationship. Maybe their own higher selves or guardian angels sabotage their relationships and believe they know whats best or because its not in alignment with their destiny. Or there may be a curse or bad karma. Hard to say.
Also intellectual types tend to have the hardest time. See my video above.

Re: Re:
I dont think so. Its mostly social environment and how kids treat you at school. And whether you fit in or not. Also whether you are deep and intellectual.
Extroverts are not more outgoing or social. They simply identify with the outside world and have no inner life. After all, if most Americans were extroverts then why do they have a cold wall and resist talking to strangers unless its for business related purposes? How come im an introvert yet i can talk to strangers easily, as long as they aren't trying to sell me something that is.

Re: Do you find it really hard being a loner?
I don't see where Mr. Wu could have any friends at all considering his towering intellect....
Time to Hide!
Re: Do you find it really hard being a loner?
Well its simple. If you are very intelligent then you make friends with others who are very intelligent. Like attracts like. Birds of the same feather flock together.
Also super intelligent types can marry women who are simple and submissive and easygoing, such as filipinas, because they are easygoing and simple and the least complicated and will not create problems or trouble or argue.

Re: Re:
Because if you invite the wrong person in, who you know nothing about, they can ruin your life and turn it upside down quite easily. There is a reason people warn their children about strangers. That is because there are many psychopaths searching for innocent, naive people to take advantage of. At least when you meet the person through friends you can assume that this person has already been vetted by your friends, and therefore they are less likely to take you down. There are no guarantees though.
I don't think people lack inner lives as much as they don't focus on the things that you focus on. You focus on certain things while they focus on others. Theirs doesn't include making new friends but how to enrich themselves in other areas of life. Once they have one part taken care of, they are moving on to other goals. Making friends with new people all the time just isn't a factor.
Even as a sophomore in university we noticed this. That people who already have friends aren't seeking more. Heck, by the sixth week of the first semester as a Freshman, your friends are probably already established, and if not, you're in for tough luck the remaining years. Everyone will look at you as a loser for not having your own group to belong to and be reluctant to let you in. You might start on the fringes but only if they are forced to interact with you daily, and if you pass, you may gain entry into the group. Probably more difficult than finding a girlfriend.

Low energy or high-performance buildings form a vital component in the sustainable future of building design and construction. Rigorous integrated daylighting design and simulation will be critical to their success as energy efficiency becomes a requirement, because electric lighting usually represents a large fraction of the energy consumed. We present the process and tools used to design the lighting systems in the newest building at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Research Support Facility (RSF). Daylighting had to be integrated with the electric lighting, as low energy use (50% below ASHRAE 90.1-2004) and the LEED daylight credit were contractually required, with a reach goal of being a net-zero energy building (NZEB). The oft-ignored disconnect between lighting simulation and whole-building energy use simulation had to be addressed, as ultimately all simulation efforts had to translate to energy use intensity predictions, design responses, and preconstruction substantiation of the design. We present preliminary data from the postoccupancy monitoring efforts with an eye toward the current efficacy of energy and lighting simulation methodologies.
This paper illustrates the challenges of integrating rigorous daylight and electric lighting simulation data with whole-building energy models, and defends the need for such integration in order to achieve aggressive energy savings in building designs. Through a case study example, we examine the ways daylighting – and daylighting simulation – drove the design of a large net-zero energy project.
This paper reviews the novel procurement, acquisition, and contract process of a large-scale replicable net zero energy (ZEB) office building. The owners (who are also commercial building energy efficiency researchers) developed and implemented an energy performance based design-build process to procure an office building with contractual requirements to meet demand side energy and LEED goals. The key procurement steps needed to ensure achievement of the energy efficiency and ZEB goals using a replicable delivery process are outlined.
The Research Support Facility is designed to be one of the world's largest net-zero energy buildings. It incorporates new technologies and techniques and draws on centuries-old concepts. Its operable windows allow natural ventilation. It monitors indoor and outdoor temperatures and displays messages on each computer about opening or closing windows.

Young enough to still remember using film, I have been taking photographs since I was a kid. With each snap of my camera and each year, I find myself falling in love with the craft more and more. As part of the Hostelbookers "7 Super Shots" photo project, I was nominated by the best Philadelphia Photographer, Picture Philly (okay the only one I know, but he's still pretty awesome), to show off some of my favorite work.
Participants post their best photos for seven different categories. You can check out the official rules here.
Below are my favorite photographs for each of the categories. Some are from my travels and others of home, but each hold a dear memory and snap shot of life exactly how I remember it. Enjoy!
A photo that takes my breath away
I had the joy of visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle (the castle Disney based his design around) at the very beginning of winter in 2008. Through the snow and fog from town you could just barely make out the castle framed against the trees and sky. To reach the castle for a tour, my travel buddies and myself took a horse drawn carriage due to the buses being shut down thanks to the fresh & unexpected snow. Definitely a fairy-tale experience.
A photo that makes me laugh or smile
This photo is from my jumping covered bridges tour of Lane County. Taken with a 10 second self timer, my friend Sarah and I attempted to chest bump in the air at this bridge near Cottage Grove, Oregon. It always makes me laugh. I hope it brings a smile to your face too.
A photo that makes me dream
By pure luck I snapped this photo back in 2006 at the Oregon Coast. On a family vacation, I captured this photo through a restaurant window, through a bubble of a man blowing bubbles at sunset. The photo still blows my mind to today.
A photo that makes me think
If you follow my blog regularly you probably saw this photo not that far back during my recent trip out Highway 36 from Eugene, Oregon to finish my jumping covered bridges tour. This photo always brings questions to my mind about life, nature and God. Nature can be so serendipitous & wonderful.
A photo that makes my mouth water
I discovered with this assignment that I don't take many photos of food. But this photo still makes my mouth water all the same. The vineyards at Constantia Uitsig in South Africa produce some of the most delicious wines and I had the joy of working for them for three months in 2010. This photo brings me back – I can almost taste their crisp, light & refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.
A photo that tells a story
This photo is from my trip to Athens, Greece back in 2008. I was studying abroad in Italy for three months and as a final hurrah, a couple friends and I decided to delay our flights home to take a quick vacation to Athens. Unbeknown to us, the day we arrived – the night streets covered with riot police – a 15 year old boy was shot & killed by the police. For the next few days heavy riots broke out across the city and country. Destination attractions shut down, transportation closed and we found ourselves in the middle of it. Read more about my experience caught in the Greece Riots in my article in Ethos Magazine here.
A photo that I am most proud of (aka my worthy of National Geographic shot)
Whether this photo is National Geographic worthy is up to the society to decided, but it is by far one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. While leaving Yellowstone National Park to the north in Montana, the sky romantically left this beautiful painted effect across the plains. I could have stood there in the middle of nowhere until there was no light left in the sky to watch this art worthy vista unfold in front of me.
I'm nominating the following five bloggers to participate in 7 SuperShots:

PAL Video Transfer
Transferring PAL VHS to DVD
Video Home System (VHS) tape and the VHS recorder were developed by a team at the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) in 1976. Videotape is a linear system of storing information. VHS originally stood for Vertical Helical Scan, a reference to the recording system used. Later in 1976, the VHS format was introduced by JVC and Panasonic.
Although its primary rival was Sony's Betamax, there was a brief period of time when other companies such as Philips, MCA, and RCA produced different tape formats and disc systems. All of these systems failed to capture the market and never became popular. VHS won out due to its many advantages including, the ability to rewind and fast forward at quicker rate, the unthreading system, and more importantly its longer recording time. VHS videocassettes peaked with the sale of The Lion King, which sold more than 30 million copies in the U.S. alone. The VHS format continued to thrive for two decades until the invention of the DVD.
By 2000, DVD had become a much more popular and efficient tape format. DVD sales rapidly surpassed VHS in the United States and from the time DVD came had reached the end of its time on the scene, VHS tape experienced a rapid decline. The last VHS tape that was mass-produced was The History of Violence. By 2005, the use of VHS tape for feature films had stopped. VHS videocassettes had been discontinued for release to the public. VHS had a long and prosperous run. By the end of 2005, there were still an estimated 90 million machines that played VHS tape and were still functioning. VHS tape had a long career and its impact will continue to be felt as the next generation of hi-def formats takes its place in recording world.
Combining Multiple Tapes to DVD
When bringing us multiple tapes, you also have the option of combining your VHS tapes onto one or multiple DVDs, at no extra cost. Combining several shorter tapes onto one DVD will save you the hassle of having several short-duration DVDs laying around. This can also be useful for combining multiple tapes of similar subject manner, such as transferring all of your children's birthday party videos onto a birthday DVD compilation. The only limitation is that our 100-year archival DVDs will hold up to 2 hours of video, so each combined video must have an average run time of one hour or less.
DVD Compatibility
At DVD Your Memories, we use only the highest quality 100-year archival DVDs for transferring your precious VHS to DVD. We are so confident that our video to DVDs will work for you that we offer compatibility guarantee on all of our video to DVD transfers! Never again worry about your old DVD player, or a disc read error! All of our discs are guaranteed to work for your television and your home DVD player.
Transferring to Hard Drive Option
Transferring your VHS tapes to an external hard drive is recommended if you are going to edit your footage. The file type is NTSC DV AVI, the most standard format across all video editing platforms. Hard drives can be PC or Mac formatted and the file format is AVI DV with each hour of video taking up 13 gigabytes.
If you are going to purchase a hard drive through DVD Your Memories, we will recommend a certain size based on the total length of your video transfer footage. If you are going to bring in a drive, please understand the space requirements and plan accordingly. Also we recommend bringing in a new drive, but if you would like to bring in a drive that has data on, we will ask that you sign a data-loss waiver. We've never lost data on a hard drive, but the possibility always exists.
With every order, we will crop out any blank footage and provide color correction to your tapes. We also provide additional basic editing services available to all of our video to DVD transfer services. Add an extra touch to your finished DVD by taking advantage of some simple basic edits.
- With basic editing you can crop out as much unwanted footage from your tapes as you wish. This is especially helpful if you have long running tapes with only a few sections you'd like transferred. With basic editing you can crop out all of the unwanted material, which leaves you with only the stuff you want on your final DVD.
- If you have several tapes with short clips on each, you can now combine all of the clips you need onto one DVD movie. Our editing service will allow you to pull any amount of footage from your tapes and consolidate them onto a DVD for easy viewing.
- Remove commercials from your recorded television programs. Remove those annoying old commerical breaks from your video tapes, and watch your old programs seamlessly on your new DVD. This is great for special television specials such as sports entertainment, politics, and news footage.
- Have you ever wanted to combine your tapes with other media? We can actually take your video tapes and combine them with photos, slides, negatives, and film to give a much more professional look to your DVD.
Editing From DVDs?
Many customers ask us if they can edit the video footage if we make them DVD movies. The simple answer is no. The complete answer is yes, almost anything is possible if you are an advanced computer user, but for many reasons it is not advisable to do so. The main reason is that you would be working with highly compressed video.
If you transfer the data from the DVD to the computer for editing, the quality is not the same as that of the originally uncompressed video used to create the DVD. It also takes a lot of processing power to edit the compressed video, and although you can fix this problem by converting it to a less compressed video format (such as AVI), you will still see a quality loss. Also when you re-render that video that has previously been on a DVD it will recompress again and you will notice more than a little loss of detail.

I am still on the path of increasing test coverage in src/extend_vtable.c. It is much like a zen study, where you methodically concentrate on many tiny little pebbles, one at a time, moving them in the sand, to just the right place. According to the latest code coverage statistics, we are now at 72% code coverage, which is an increase of about 8% since my last report.
Many, many more tests involving Key PMCs were added. For an intro to what they are, take a look at my previous grant update. Many of the tests are clusters of related tests, because most VTABLEs have many similar forms which take integer, string or PMC-flavored keys. I ran into some platform-specific bugs which only manifest on Darwin machines, which were reported by Jim Keenan in TT# 2098 and which I then fixed by querying with a non-empty Key, which is more prudent.
I also ran into some actual bugs which I reported as Trac Tickets. First is that the cmp_pmc VTABLE does not seem to be working correctly from extend_vtable, which was reported in TT #2103. Then I fell into a "hole" in the VTABLE API, where ResizablePMCArray does not respond to defined_keyed(), which it should. This is described in TT #2094.
In retrospect, this was one of the most productive periods of my grant work. I estimate that I will be very close to the 95% milestone by my next grant update at this pace, which is very exciting.

Eyes in the back of your back
or, Vibro Vest. Name suggestions encouraged!
Rachel and others are creating a vest that will allow the wearer to feel side-to-side movement behind them. This will be done by a set of motion sensors connected to a touch display (of pager motors, at least initially). The first prototype will have a one dimensional display so that up & down motion will not be detected, but this can probably be added later once some of the more pressing problems are solved. We have not yet made a final determination on the prototype sensors but have had some success with ultrasonic rangefinders.
Current Status
Parallax PING))) works but we don't like it so much. Got a Maxbotics MAXSonar EZ-1 functional in its analog mode, with LED standing in for motor (the shift register not yet integrated) but have failed at reading its serial out.
Integrate the shift register (wait until sensor decision is made? it would be cool to have an end-to-end thing...)
I (Rachel) have a fairly detailed mental model of the armature but have not made it yet.
Next Steps
- Try out IR sensor? Daniela has lent us one, and I think there's some others in the bin plus of course the 900 PIR boards upstairs...
- Buy the other US sensor I found? Its specs beat out both the Maxbotics and the PING))). Decide later.

International Water Management Institute wins Stockholm Water Prize
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is the 2012 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate. The Stockholm International Water Institute made the announcement on World Water Day, March 22.
The awarding committee cited IWMI's extraordinary contribution to the development of "new policies and investments in agriculture that have not only enabled more productive use of water, but have enhanced food security, economic development and environmental health around the world."
The Stockholm Water Prize is the "world's most prestigious prize given for outstanding achievements in water-related research activities." It honors individuals, institutions or organizations whose work contributes broadly to the conservation and protection of water resources, and also to improved health of the planet's inhabitants and ecosystems.
"I am absolutely delighted that the International Water Management Institute has been awarded this year's Stockholm Water Prize," said Colin Chartres, IWMI's director general. "It is an incredible honor for all of us and I'd like to thank the award committee for recognizing IWMI's work with such a high-profile accolade."
Chartres also paid tribute to everyone, past and present, who had worked for IWMI.
"The real winners are IWMI's dedicated staff members and partners who, for just over a quarter of a century, have consistently delivered scientific research of the highest quality," Chartres said. "This work has had a profound influence on water management policy throughout the globe, delivering real benefits for some of the poorest people on earth. Likewise our success would not have been possible without our donors. I hope that they can feel justly proud of the investments they have made in time, expertise and money that have led to this achievement."
Roberto Lenton, director of the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute at the University of Nebraska, helped establish IWMI and served as its director general from 1987 to 1994. Under his leadership, IWMI grew from a small project-based organization to a major institute employing more than 300 people in 10 countries with an annual budget of over $10 million.
"On this World Water Day, I am thrilled by the news that the International Water Management Institute has been awarded the 2012 Stockholm Water Prize," Lenton said. "IWMI has become without doubt the leading international institution in agricultural water management, and the prize is a just recognition of IWMI's many contributions to the field, including its recent path-breaking Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture. I have written to IWMI's director general to congratulate him and his colleagues, and look forward to welcoming him to the University of Nebraska very soon."
Chartres is among the international water experts slated to give plenary addresses during the 2012 global Water for Food Conference May 30-June 1 in Lincoln, Neb. "Blue Water, Green Water and the Future of Agriculture" is the theme of the fourth annual conference, hosted by the Daugherty Institute and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This conference is a unique opportunity to share ideas, explore solutions and learn from scientists, farmers, scholars, policymakers and industry leaders from around the world.

Tim Gunn Discusses Suicide Attempt in PSA
Project Runway's Tim Gunn recorded this PSA for the Trevor Project—a gay-teen-oriented suicide hotline—where he discusses his own suicide attempt and recovery. And what a recovery—it's hard to think of anyone as serene and unruffled as Grampa Gunn.
The ad was filmed in conjunction with advice columnist Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" campaign, where celebrities (and non-celebrities) reach out to queer youth—to tell them "it gets better"—via filmed PSAs.

Medical Mystery
(1) Search Camp Forlorn Hope for clues about the missing medical supplies. (2) Stake out the Camp Forlorn Medical Center at night. (3) Return to Dr. Richards.
Important Items...[edit]
This is a simple and quick side quest to undertake, though we recommend you wait until you have a decent Medical skill level before doing so, since it will make this already quick-and-easy side quest even quicker and easier. This particular side quest goes down at the NCR encampment known as Camp Forlorn Hope. This camp is located on the eastern side of the map, due east of the El Dorado Gas & Service Station and Gibson Scrap Yard. It's within some low-lying mountains, so you'll have to do some exploring to find the entrance. When you arrive, seek out the medical tent within the camp, and begin to speak to the doctor within, a man named Dr. Richards. Dr. Richards is the key to jump-starting this side quest.
Dr. Richards will give you his life story when you talk to him. He's been with the NCR for a while, and wants to get out eventually. But all of that is irrelevant, because he hasn't been able to heal up the bloodied soldiers all around him as well as he'd like. It appears that some of his supplies are missing, and you can volunteer to try and find the culprit for him. At this point, you'll learn that guards change their post at 2 in the morning, which seems like a logical place to start spying. But if you have a moderate Medical skill, you can derive some important information from Dr. Richards about what the use of Hydra (the missing drug) does to a person. Once you learn that, you can simply seek out the culprit immediately, in order to get to the bottom of this situation.
The man you're looking for, whether you search around camp for him or wait for him to arrive for guard duty, is named Private Stone. Should you take our advice and look for him after garnering the addiction symptoms of the missing Hydra, you should find Private Stone somewhere outside. We found him behind one of the camp's makeshift structures, standing next to a fire barrel. When speaking with him, immediately ask about the missing medical supplies. With a high Medical skill, you can call him out immediately on stealing the supplies. All that remains undecided at that point is what you'll do with this new information. You can simply go back to Dr. Richards and let him know that he stole the goods. You could earn even more karma by using Speech to convince him to turn himself in. Or, if you're a bad guy, you can take a bribe and not turn him in at all. If you do the latter, though, keep in mind that it can adversely affect your relationship with the NCR!

giveplay brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 45 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
You may have seen our spaceship contest a few weeks ago where we offered $5 each for small spaceship drawings. We're doing it again. This time we're offering $20 for video game tilesets. We'll definitely take at least 10, but we could end up taking a lot more. So the prize money starts at $200 and could go all the way to $1000.
We're a video game company and we need lots of graphical assets. For this particular contest we're looking at tilesets.
Because of we need a lot of them, for all different genres, we're doing something different. Rather than offering a large prize to a single winning design, we're offering lots of little prizes to just about anyone that enters. (We did something similar with spaceships about a month ago)
The top 10 tilesets will definitely all get $20, but we could end up buying a lot more than 10. When we did a similar contest with spaceships, we said we'd take the top 50 we ended up taking 128, or over half of what was submitted.
We need all genres of tile sets (we have a lot of games in development). So science fiction, urban, outdoors, fantasy, desert, etc. etc. You'll have a better chance of winning if you submit in a genre that no one else (or very few) has submitted in.
Here's an example tileset, followed by an example background constructed with the tileset.
Dungeon Tiles
Constructed Example
Your submissions don't have to be quite that elaborate, but of course if you want to impress us... :)
This is our second contest along these lines. We'd love to keep doing them, but that's going to depend in large part on how the response is for this one. So enter early and enter often!
- It needs to be full color. No black and white submissions. It needs to be something you would be proud to see as the background of a game you're playing.
- Final format needs to be .png with "alpha transparency" enabled. (Or something that can be easily converted into that.)
- Definitely look at the example. Ideally the tilesets would come with 12 base pieces along with some knickknacks.
- If you've already submitted the base tiles and want to submit an additional entry as a large collection of environmental items (i.e. cars, trees, bushes, light fixtures, etc.). We might be willing to buy it as it's own entry, but it much match a tileset you've already submitted.
- Be very specific about telling us what your entry is. We understand that for best presentation you may need to break up the images, but we're not paying $20 for each image rather $20 for the whole tileset.
- We don't want anyone to enter who's not going to have fun. :)

SMOS and Proba-2 ready for launch
The Russian State Commission has given the go-ahead to fuel the Rockot launcher that will take ESA's SMOS and Proba-2 satellites into orbit. This formal authorisation confirms that launch can take place on
The go-ahead to fuel follows the launch dress rehearsal, which took place in the Mission Control Centre near the Plesetsk launch site on
A formal review with the Russian State Commission was held today, where representatives of the various organisations involved were asked to report on the status of their activities.
In his statement to the State Commission, ESA's Project Manager for SMOS, Achim Hahne said, "I herewith can report that the SMOS and Proba-2 spacecrafts are fully tested, fuelled, and prepared for launch. I therefore ask the honourable gentlemen of the State Commission to authorise the fuelling of the launcher and conduct the final launch preparations. I would like to express my gratitude for the professional support we have experienced from all involved entities: the Russian Space Forces, Krunichev, and Eurockot."
The State Commission's confirmation of readiness to fuel marks one of the last important milestones on the road to launch SMOS and Proba-2. Both satellites have been several years in the making and, with launch now confirmed, their missions to advance science and technology will soon begin.
The SMOS mission, also known as 'ESA's water mission' will employ a new use of technology to measure the moisture in soil and salinity in the surface waters of the oceans. The data will improve our understanding of the water cycle and be important for weather and climate modelling, water resource management, agriculture and also contribute to the forecasting of hazardous events such as floods.
ESA's Project Manager for Proba-2, Karsten Strauch, said, "Proba-2 is the second mission in ESA's In-Orbit Demonstration Programme, which is dedicated to demonstrating innovative technologies. Looking forward to its launch and operations phase, I want to express my thanks to all involved so far in this marvellous Proba project."
Proba-2 is the second Project for Onboard Autonomy mission. As a technology demonstrator, it incorporates a total of 17 new technical developments and four scientific experiments, focused on solar and space weather observations.
Both SMOS and Proba-2 are launching on the same Rockot launcher, which is a converted SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missile with a new Breeze-KM upper stage. SMOS will be injected into orbit 70 minutes after launch, with confirmation of separation coming from Hertebeesthoek in South Africa. The much smaller Proba-2 satellite sits below SMOS in the fairing, and is injected into orbit around 80 minutes after SMOS.
The launch of SMOS and Proba-2 can be followed live on the ESA website at: http://www.esa.int/smos or http://www.esa.int/proba.

Tatra Polish T501-1 - Very Pale Green Grey
Tatra Polish Antique
Tatra Polish antique is a real antique glass made by a traditional manual method. Molten glass is gathered and blown into a cylindrical shape. The glass is allowed to cool and then the cylinder is cut along its length. The cut cylinder is then slowly heated until it flattens out into a sheet. Another heating process anneals the glass to make it workable.
Imperfections in the blown glass lead to characteristics in each sheet. Seeds (small air bubbles) and striations (lines) make each sheet quite unique.

Change in Your Pocket
October 25, 2012
Senior Henry K. Dambanemuya is a DePauw Presidential Ambassador, an Honor Scholar and a citizen of Zimbabwe. He's also a Liberty Mutual Responsible Scholars Ambassador and an intern at The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics. There are many things that combine to make Dambanemuya an interesting person, but the one that gets the most attention started out in a pretty ordinary way.
He read a book.
Co-authored by actor Don Cheadle and activist John Prendergast, Not On Our Watch recounts heart-wrenching atrocities taking place in a number of African nations. The stories compelled Dambanemuya to take action for the first time in his life, beginning with an issue not so far from his studies as a computer science major.
Sometimes the discovery of a valuable natural resource is a boon for a developing country. That wasn't the case in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Eastern Congo is saturated with metals that are essential in the production of technologies such as mobile phones and laptop computers. The mines where these metals are extracted, however, are controlled by warring factions who use the profits to grow their arsenals and, through unspeakable cruelty, their influence. Financed by these so-called conflict minerals, the ongoing violence has resulted in as many as 6-million Congolese civilian deaths and has forced thousands more into labor in the mines.
There are laws both in the United States and elsewhere that prohibit the import of conflict minerals, but when these metals are smuggled out of Africa, they are typically mixed those from other regions, masking their origins. Because of this confusion, it's likely you have conflict minerals on or near you right now.
"What drew me to raising awareness about conflict minerals was the direct connection between the production of electronic products and human devastation in Congo," Dambanemuya says. "Conflicts such as those in Congo are often misunderstood as distant tribal wars that have absolutely nothing to do with us, but in reality, the trail of blood leads directly to our pockets."
Understanding that manufacturers themselves would need to close this loophole, Dambanemuya launched DePauw's Conflict-Free Campus Initiative, a campaign of Prendergast's Enough Project. Last May, DePauw joined 11 other American colleges in passing a resolution that gives preference to electronics suppliers who are vigilant in preventing the inclusion of conflict minerals in their products.
(Right: Dambanemuya with Alex Hellmuth, campaign organizer for Project Enough's Conflict-Free Campus Initiative, at the 2011 Campus Progress National Conference in Washington, D.C.)
"When you present an issue such as Congo or Sudan, most people are shocked, some are outraged, but very few will act," Dambanemuya says. "It was inspiring to see nearly 200 students, staff and faculty members endorse our conflict-free electronics petition in less than 48 hours."
The issue of conflict minerals has been a major part of Dambanemuya's efforts to end atrocities in the world's most dangerous places, but it was only a starting point. He added conflict studies as a second major to complement his computer science education, and he has since combined the two for Honor Scholar research on early warning systems for civilian protection. These systems would draw information from field reports, text messages, Twitter, news feeds and satellite imagery to alert a monitoring agency of an impending humanitarian crisis while it could still be prevented.
As a result of his work, Dambanemuya is one of seven college students in the United States selected as a 2012-13 Jewish World Watch Fellow, a program for students committed to bringing awareness to and preventing mass atrocities.
In addition to a small honorarium for his research and activism, the fellowship provides Dambanemuya with a budget for on-campus education programs. So far, he has hosted an event about the civil war in Syria, where residential neighborhoods have been bombed by the military, killing more than 30,000 civilians.
This fall he's planning another event in coordination with SumOfUs, a human rights organization founded by the daughter of two DePauw professors, to discuss worker conditions and use of conflict minerals at some of Apple's component manufacturers. Although Apple isn't the only company to face questions about these issues, its products dominate the market and are especially popular with a large number of socially conscious consumers.
"Apple is the elephant in the room," he says. "If we get them to move on these issues, other electronics companies will have to move as well to remain competitive in the market."
Despite all his work – and the recognition he's received because of it – Dambanemuya didn't have to sacrifice his old interests to make room for his activism. He already has a job lined up as an IT analyst in Seattle, but he plans to continue his work on human rights issues as a volunteer with the Canada-based Sentinel Project for Genocide Prevention on his own time. He insists he's just a normal college student, soon to be a normal college graduate, lending his heart and mind to an important cause.
If he's right about the being normal part, the world has a much brighter future ahead.Back

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Do you remember the 19.2 MHS Scrypt and 520 GHS SHA-256 Dual Mode ASIC that we have reported about being available for pre-order form a Chinese seller. We have expressed our doubts about that product and it turns out it will not be available by the end of this month, though the seller claims it is something that Gridseed is currently working on. So we might actually see the product in some form available in a bit of time, but for now you can be rest assured it is not going to hit the market anytime soon. If we see the 19.2 GHS Scrypt mining ASIC in a few months however it might be a bit too late as other ASIC manufacturers are already promising shipping date for more powerful Scrypt miners to be out before the end of the year…
Below you can read the official quote from the seller as a response to the user interest in the 19.2 MHS miner that they have listed for pre-orders:
Dear customers,
Thank you so much for your interest in the super miner (520GH/19.2MH) shown at our store before, we decided to take it down before more information is available.
We got this product info from an agent of Gridseed. And we were told that the miner would be available at the end of March. So we put it at our store. Unexpectedly, it has generated a lot of interest and doubts alike in the mining circle. And we have received messages from a lot of customers, who are both interested and doubtful, which is very understandable, because the information was limited and no one has actually used this product yet.
And we have to clarify one fact: WE ARE NOT SCAMMERS. Firstly, we didn't take any order of the product. None. Secondly, we have been receiving very positive feedbacks from our customers. Anyone who has worked with us knows that we are an honest store. Thirdly, it was not intended as a marketing ploy either. We saw new products coming, we put them at our store, that's it.
So under these circumstances, with the attitude of being responsible to our customers, we decided to take it down until more information is available.
At the same time we are requesting for more info and wait until we know better.
Thank you so much.
When we've made our previous guide for dual mining BTC and LTC on a Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC we've only had an earlier revision of the miner that used CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller. Now that we already have a newer revision with the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port we have decided to update the guide with information on how to Dualmine on these ASIC devices. Note that we do not recommend using these devices for dual mining mode, but for Scrypt only mode instead, but you are free to decide for yourself. The advantages of using Scrypt only mode are the low power consumption and heat, the ability to overclock higher, including with a voltage modification and a choice of multiple more up to date software miners. Note that the only way for the moment to use the Dual Mining mode on the Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC devices is to use the special version of cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining (SHA-256) along with the special modified version of cpuminer for Gridseed for LTC mining. Due to the way that the Dual Mining mode is realized on these ASICs using a more recent version of cgminer or bfgminer for LTC (Scrypt) mining on these devices along with the cgminer for BTC mining is not possible at the moment.
– Open up Windows Device Manager and go to the Ports (COM & LPT) and note the COM port that is written behind the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port driver
– Download and run the latest version of Zadig
– From the Zadig interface select Options and choose List All Devices
– From the Dropdown list of devices select STM32 Virtual COM Port and click on Replace Driver with the WinUSB driver selected
– Download the dualmining package that we have prepared for windows that contains cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining and cpuminer for LTC mining
– Edit the BAT files for the two software miners included in the archive with your settings for BTC and LTC mining pools
– In the LTC-START.bat file you will see an option "gc3355=\\.\COM4", here you need to change the COM port number to the one you have seen in the device manager before updating the driver with Zadig to use WinUSB
– First you need to start cgminer 3.8.5 for BTC mining, wait a few seconds until the software starts up and connects to the pool and starts working
– Then start the cpuminer for LTC mining, note that you will need to wait for some more time here before the miner connects and starts working, but it it takes more than a minute maybe something is not right
If you still haven't used cpuminer for Gridseed you should know that the software does not report local hashrate, so the zeroes you see are normal, it is actually working and sending shares. Also note that when in Dual Mining mode you will not be able to overclock the device as high as when only in Scrypt mining mode, so it is normal to be getting lower hasrate. As we've already said, we do not recommend the Dual Mining mode and suggest to use these ASIC devices for Scrypt mining mode only, especially if you want to run multiple devices.
– Download the DualMining package for BTC/LTC mining on Gridseed 5-chip GC3355 ASIC for Windows…
We got a tip from a reader that a new dual mining mode ASIC device based on Gridseed chips might be coming out soon. The device is supposedly capable of providing up to 19.2 MHS Scrypt and 520GHS SHA-256 is listed for with a price of $12888 USD on a Chinese online store and is being sold by a company called EastShore Trade. This is a pre-order and they claim the miner will be available "at the end of March". The photo above of the actual miner does look Ok, though the photo itself and the claimed specifications do rise some doubts, so you should treat this information with caution for the moment!
This miner is apparently composed of 4 blades (only one blade shown on the photo or all 4 blades together?), each blade can mine at a speed of 130 GH/s for SHA-256 mining and 4.8 MH/s for Scrypt mining. So, the miner can mining at a speed of 520 GH/s for SHA256 mining and 19.2 MH/s for Scrypt mining in total. The total power consumption claimed is just 800W for the four blades and the power supply is apparently a part of the miner according to the information. The miner on the photo does remind us a lot in terms of design to the AntMiner S1 and the device apparently also comes with a LAN port, so it would be independent of a computer.
19.2 MH/s worth of Scrypt mining hashrate is achievable by using a total of 64×5 Gridchip GC3355 processors or a total of 320 chips providing 300 KHS each. With the total power usage of a non-overclocked 5-chip ASIC of about 5W we should be getting about 320W for Scrypt only mining mode if the calculation is correct. The problem comes with the SHA-256 mining part, with a 5-chip solutions needing roughly about 50W in BTC mining mode this would result in 3200W power consumption for the SHA-256 mining only or a total of 3500W without overclock for Dual Mining mode. So how come we see claimed 800W for the device, this could neither be the Scrypt only power usage, neither a single blade one (4 blades shod total in 3200W). And integrating a 3200W or 3500W power supply in a miner so small does not seem very believable (again is the photo of a single blade or of the 4 blades?). So do not be in a hurry with pre-orders at least until there is more clear information about this upcoming ASIC!

J-Mart in Danvers: Convenient, But Not AbundantPosted: July 7th, 2010 | Author: JR | Filed under: Asian, Danvers, J-Mart, Marketplace | Tags: Asian Market, Convenience Store, J-Mart | No Comments »
As much as we love discovering the wonderful Asian-food treasures at H-Mart, we were hoping J-Mart in Danvers could save us a trip to Burlington if we only needed a few items. But it was not to be—this is more of a convenience store with some Asian items than an Asian food market.
There is no fresh produce in the store, and the freezer shelves were not laden with goodies. We did see frozen round wonton wrappers for making dumplings and some packages of steam buns. On the non-perishable shelves, we were pleased to see rice stick, nori, unsweetened coconut, wasabi paste, and shrimp paste. The rest of the small store consists mainly of cookware, Asian candy, and coolers with ice cream treats.
There were some issues when the store first opened with it being closed during business hours that have now hopefully been resolved. When I visited last week, the gentleman at the register assured me the store is open from 10:00 to 8:30 Monday through Saturday and closed all day Sunday. The store does not have a Web site; it has a Facebook page, but it's not exactly filled with information.

11 June 2009—On the basis of available evidence and expert assessments of the evidence, the scientific criteria for an influenza pandemic have been met. The Director-General of WHO has therefore decided to raise the level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 5 to phase 6. "The world is now at the start of the 2009 influenza pandemic," she said at a press conference today.

text: Unlike many of my esteemed Deadspin colleagues, I am not blessed to live the Big Apple, a city of vogue fashion and style. The only reason I recognize the Chanel logo on this Hawks fan's bizarre t-shirt is because my grandmother has worn Chanel No. 5 for 60 years and we buy it for her every Christmas. But what exactly drives a man to wear this shirt in public—let alone in the pricey seats at an NBA playoff game? These are questions we should probably not ask. Maybe he's a representative of Givenchy, engaged in media subterfuge.

These dragons are hybrids of the elemental dragons. Composed of two elemental colors, they have both colors in their very makeup. They generate breath against 5 health of the defending army and both colors of army breath effects against the army. However, the dragons are affected by both colors as well. A Dragon Summoning spell of either color will summon them to a terrain. Eldarim Champions that match either color can affect them normally. Dragon Staffs and Dragonkin Champions of either color also affect them normally. Dragonkin of either matching color cannot be rolled when attacked by an Hybrid dragon. Hybrid Dragons fight all dragons (except pure ivory dragons and ivory hybrids with a matching elemental color) that do not match their colors exactly. Elemental and White dragons fight all Hybrid Dragons.

Video Of The Week: The NYS DFS Bitcoin Hearings
I don't know who is going to watch all of these panels. There were five in total. I am not sure who is going to watch this video of our panel in its entirety. However, there are a number of fascinating issues raised in this discussion. From the role of regulation in the innovation economy, to the (I think false) choice between stopping bad actors and freedom to innovate, to the way a new technology comes to market. If you have two hours this weekend, you might want to put this on your TV and let it roll.
We were panel number one. I have watched parts of all five panels. I have included links to all of them below.
Here is the second panel (alternative virtual currencies, including the developer of Litecoin).
Here is the third panel (law enforcement)
Here is the fourth panel (entrepreneurs)
Here is the fifth panel (academics)
Reactions to these hearings have been all over the map. William sent me this video reaction from Andreas Antonopoulos which is worth watching if you still have time after (or instead of) watching eight hours of testimony.

Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is being ridiculed for his new campaign promise to build a colony on the moon by the end of what would be his second term in 2020.
Laugh all you want, Californians. But know this: Newt's lunar colony would almost certainly be cheaper than just the state's current high-speed rail plan.
In today's dollars, the Apollo program that took us to the moon in the late '60s and early '70s would cost about $100 billion -- the same as the most recent estimates of the LA to San Francisco "Phase 1" of the high-speed rail project. But estimates of a lunar mission now suggest that the real costs would be about half that. So let's say $50 billion. That is not unreasonable, since a round trip manned mission to Mars has been pegged at $80 billion, and Mars is a 214-day trip. The moon can be reached in less than a day.
U.S. & World
Of course, the Gingrich lunar colony is relevant to the high-speed rail discussion for reasons other than cost. Both are futuristic sounding ideas that really aren't very bold. Astrophysicists see little value in building a moon colony. Why go to the trouble when the moon is easily reachable? Mars is a better place for a colony.
The same logic exposes the problem of high-speed rail. Why spend so much to get a train that goes from LA to San Francisco in two-and-a-half hours at a relatively high price? There are already ways to get between those two places, just as fast and just as cheap. High-speed rail might make a difference in creating faster, quicker ways to get between San Francisco and the Sacramento area, or between downtown LA and San Diego or the Inland Empire.
Gingrich and the high-speed rail authority should rethink their less-than-grand plans.
