The Fabled Cable Cars of San Francisco
There are a lot of uniquely San Francisco things to do in the City by the Bay, but if there's one quintessential transportation experience, it's riding the cable cars.
The lines are long, the ride is fairly short, and for the distance covered, it's kind of an expensive way to get from here to there ($5 isn't too bad, but still more than you'd pay for other public transportation). But not many National Historic Landmarks move, and for the historical value and fun of it, it's definitely worth taking a ride. I think hanging off the side is the only way to go, but there are also plenty of seats for those who aren't excited about sucking in their stomachs every time a car passes.
While the cable cars have always been beloved, they have been in danger. The city government tried to get rid of them in the 1940s, and back in the early '80s, they were in such disrepair that it would require $60 million and 20 months to get them back to operational. Fortunately for the iconic landmark, the City of San Francisco raised $10 million from the private sector alone, the federal government aided the project with a $46.5 million contribution, and the State of California added $3.6 million, among smaller donations worldwide.
And so today they live on, boasting an impressive set of numbers:
Founded: 1863
Speed: 9.5 mph
No. of cars in service: 41
Carrying capacity per car: 60-plus
Passengers each year: 7.5 million

Video game tipped for record sales
5:57am Tuesday 17th September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
One of the most eagerly anticipated video game releases is expected to smash sales records after going on sale worldwide.
Stores across the UK opened their doors at midnight for the special launch of Grand Theft Auto V, which reportedly cost around £170 million to make and market - more than films such as Avatar.
Online retailer Amazon has already sold out of the game which cost more to make than many Hollywood blockbusters and, in certain circles, generated a similar hype.
Experts estimate it could generate £1 billion during its first year on sale when gamers are predicted to snap up some 25 million copies - breaking current records.
It has received rave reviews from critics across the board who have labelled it "one of the very best video games ever made".
Keza MacDonald, games editor at IGN.com, said: "Grand Theft Auto V is not only a preposterously enjoyable video game, but also an intelligent and sharp-tongued satire of contemporary America," she added.
"It represents a refinement of everything that GTA IV brought to the table five years ago. It's technically more accomplished in every conceivable way, but it's also tremendously ambitious in its own right.
"No other world in video games comes close to this in size or scope, and there is sharp intelligence behind its sense of humour and gift for mayhem. It tells a compelling, unpredictable, and provocative story without ever letting it get in the way of your own self-directed adventures through San Andreas.
"It is one of the very best video games ever made."
But the launch of the latest iteration in the Grand Theft Auto series has not gone as smoothly as planned. The Scottish creator Rockstar has launched an investigation into whether copies of the game were dispatched days ahead of its official release.

Eighteen of the sport's brightest prospects were in action on the demanding gravel stages of the Algarve in identical M-Sport Ford Fiesta R2s using Pirelli control tyres.
Reid is part of a team of experts helping to train the young stars and was in Portugal last week to oversee their progress on the first of six rallies they will tackle in 2011.
"We saw a lot of people come to this event as the first world championship event they've done and it's been tough for them," said Reid. "But this programme is about introducing them to the World Rally Championship, it's about learning and I think they've all learned a lot."
Reid, who partnered Richard Burns to the world crown in 2001, continued: "Part of the learning process is experiencing it. You can tell somebody something two or three times but they often need to experience it to reinforce their learning. We're trying to shortcut four years of learning by giving them an insight and information and you can't impart that in one day."
Asked what advice he would give the drivers that didn't enjoy the same fortune as inaugural winner Egon Kaur, Reid had plenty of advice to offer.
"I'm sure all of them can find a positive somewhere because it's all about learning," said Reid. "If you don't learn from incidents you just go out and do the same thing again. They've really got to analyse everything they've done and gather a valuable library of information about competing at WRC level.
"It's really important they learn everything they can from the experience they've had and put it into practice: they always say the definition of insanity is to do same thing twice and expect a different result. It's about taking all the information on board and heeding the great advice from the people involved in the Academy like Phil Short and the guys from M-Sport."

Living with Diabetes
By Marcia Kyle, RD, LD, CDE, licensed registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at the Pen Bay Diabetes and Nutrition Care Center.
Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States live with diabetes, and another 79 million people are at risk. Diabetes continues to be the leading cause of blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and amputation. In Maine, diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death.As a certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian, I see daily how diabetes affects not only the person with diabetes but how it reaches out to touch family, friends and the community.
November is American Diabetes Month, so let's look at one day in the life of a person with diabetes.
Imagine the adjustments that need to be made when you are sick, want to take a hike, eat a late night dinner with friends, go to a party, travel, are stuck in traffic, etc.
We would all understand the immediate effects of living with diabetes if each person who reads this article would for one day walk in the shoes of a person with diabetes. We would recognize they are confronted every day with the long term health complications that result if the daily routine described above is not followed diligently. There are no vacations from diabetes!
What can we all do?
Diabetes is getting people's attention, and so it should.
Let's raise awareness of diabetes not only during the month of November, but throughout the year.
We can make a difference.
Marcia Kyle, RD, LD, CDE, is a licensed registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at the Pen Bay Diabetes and Nutrition Care Center. She is specially trained in diabetes prevention and management. For more information, call 701-3999 or visit pbmc.org/diabetes.

1. You need to add Lee to the AL list.
2. CC has Price beat.
With the slide he's been on since going to Texas, Lee has pretty much no chance at this point, despite the fantastic peripherals. Only at 10 wins on the year and writers will notice the 4+ ERA (so far) since joining the Rangers.Originally Posted by THEBOSS84
Hard to argue anything other than this being CC's to lose at this point. If Buchholz can keep his ERA lead padded and win 5 of his final 7, he has a great shot at runner up.
10-7, 3.09 ERAOriginally Posted by THEBOSS84
No matter how good his K/BB or WHIP is, Lee has no chance at this point.
You guys are definitely right. I didn't realize his ERA surged to 3.09, but I did know he got his ass handed to him the last 2-3 times out.
This is literally CC's to lose. Price is going to be headed into uncharted IP territory, so I figure he may slow down even more.
CC is going to have an overwhelming lead on IP over Buchholz by the time the season is over.
He has no K's and very few innings.Originally Posted by awy
If his ERA is half a run lower than CC and he's with in 3 wins of the big lefty when the season is over, his Ks & innings probably won't matter.Originally Posted by THEBOSS84
But I really don't care, if CC is pitching deep into October, CLay can accepthis award on the golf course for all I care.
Though it would be really sweet if the Yanks bitch slap him twice and balloon his ERA out of contention.
Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.

While he wasn't a losing pitcher, Zach Greinke still says hello. Times are changing, thankfully for the better.Originally Posted by Ram Man
Felix would have to win every one of his remaining starts to have a chance at the award. Lincecum's 15 wins is the lowest total ever - no way they'll give it to a guy with 30% fewer than that. There's just no way to call Felix anywhere near a favorite right now.Originally Posted by YESSIR!
I don't agree. I think he needs to finish with a winning record, but to say he needs to win out is a bit much. Let's say he he makes 7 more starts - if he goes 4-1 in those starts and finishes 13-11 while pitching like he has all year, he'll deserve the award unless another contender with a hefty innings total blows the doors off the rest of the season. How can you call the guy who has been the best pitcher in the AL this year, "not anywhere near being the favorite"?Originally Posted by Steve Dalkowski
Felix isn't benefiting from a season long hype campaign like Grienke did and Grienke didn't have to beat a 20 game winner on a division winning team. Felix has virtually no chance, at least at the moment.Originally Posted by YESSIR!
I can't complain but sometimes I still do. - Joe Walsh
Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed.Originally Posted by kongull

Right now King Felix is 1st in IP; 2nd in ERA, SO; 4th in WHIP; 9th in SO/BB; 31st in Wins; 41st in W%.
King Felix is not anywhere near being the favorite.
Felix has been the best pitcher in the AL this year but he won't win it.
It almost reminds me of this odd season:Originally Posted by kan_t
There once was a pitcher who pitched over 200 innings and:
Was 1st in ERA, 1st in SO, 1st in K/BB, 3rd in WHIP...and didn't receive a single first place Cy Young vote because he lost twice as many games as he won.
Who was that pitcher?
Wow, that was quick. Correct, of course.Originally Posted by kan_t

I just looked at that year for Ryan in detail. Wow....it has to be the most hard luck year ever....worse than Turk Farrell. Ryan lost three 1-0 games where he gave up a total of 7 hits in 23 innings.Originally Posted by Rice14
I heard this today...Did Coltrane actually exist? This is like being blind for 50 years, regaining sight, and then peering directly at the sun.
I'm still trying to figure out how Buchholz has that Pedro-esque ERA with his peripherals pitching in Fenway and the AL East. Insane.
"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston."
It would kind of suck if we only gave the Cy Young to contending teams. Bad enough they do it with the MVP.Originally Posted by hardrain

2009 Greinke vs 2010 King Felix
Win: #7 vs #29
IP: #5 vs #1
ERA: #1 vs #2
WHIP: #1 vs #4
W%: #9 vs #39
I doubt King Felix can win like last year Greinke.
I think the only way Felix has a shot if he goes like 4 or 5-0 in September and gets his ERA closer to 2....and both Price and CC pitch terribly.
While the first part could happen, I dont expect the second to happen. If CC finishes something like 22-5 or 23-5 w/an ERA around 3....and the Yanks take the division....there is no way he doesnt win. Or if Price gets to 19-20+ wins and has the ERA in the high 2's....and the Rays win the division....there is no way he doesnt win.
Lets play hypothetical here. Lets assume each of these pitchers has five more starts. I'll throw out possible final season lines and let everyone pick who they think should win:
Price: 20-7, 2.90 ERA, 1.22 WHIP. 206 IP, 190 K
Buchholz: 17-6, 2.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP. 178 IP, 120 K
Felix: 13-10, 2.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP. 248 IP, 240 K
Jesus Montero since June 1 (286 at-bats):
July 1 (182 at-bats):
CY: CCOriginally Posted by dabomb2045
2: Price - Difference in ERA is not enough to overcome fewer IP and wins and higher WHIP.
3: Felix - Too few wins. Wins are overrated by the voters, but a difference of 10 is hard to ignore.
4: Buchholz - Too few innings, 70 less than CC is too many.
If Felix finishes the season leading the field in every single category except wins, and in most of the advanced stats, I think he should win it, same as Greinke. I don't think he will, but I still think he should.
If CC can finish with an ERA under 3 with his 20 wins I think he should lock it up.
"When white belts want to learn jiu jitsu they go to a black belt. When black belts want to learn jiu jitsu they go to John Danaher."
You really couldnt argue with 23 wins and a sub 3 ERA in the AL East, though Felix with all those innings pitched and strikeouts make a strong case.Originally Posted by dabomb2045
Also-23 wins would be freaking amazing, correct me if I am wrong but that would be the most since Pettitte won 21 ins 2003.
The loser now will be later to win...
I agree with StatenIslandYankee. If CC can notch maybe 22+ wins with an ERA at or under 3, he'll get it for sure.
jsut hoping CC can get atleast 20 wins for the first time, CY Young would also be good
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
I wish they'd stop tracking wins for pitchers.

Well considering a pitcher isn't the only player responsible for the the team winning the game they shouldn't get all the credit for it. It's always been stupid and it still is.
The original figuring of the game was that the pitcher was the most responsible party.Originally Posted by Hooligan Tavarez
I suppose you could give wins and losses to catchers, but that wouldn't seem right.
I don't think wins and losses to pitchers is stupid. I think the way the wins are awarded to pitchers is a little befuccling, but the overall concept is OK.
Also, the way awards and rankings depend on a those wins is a little bit backwards too.
I like the game the way it is... If people choose to use a pitcher's wins to weigh how good he is, that is their perogative.

Wow! I'll be up there Wed morning for a shot at Cirque and Langley, if it's still f'ing closed I'm heading for Carillon. Will post back as soon as practical.
Latest word, the road is open to 2 downed trees just before the Horseshoe Meadow TH. I swear!!

Thanks for the beta Deb. I saw your notes on the summit log. I would agree with the 45 degree angle on the snow patch. It seemed more reasonable and more fun than going to the left and hitting what looked like a traverse route. On the way down we hit the cirque just to the North of Old Army Pass. Does that have a name? Going down that sucked, and we ended up descending through a field with boulders the size of school busses. We lost a bit of time from that choice.
Overall, the route is clear, Horseshoe meadows is virtually empty, and the summer season is kicking in.

T is for Talula.....
One of my favorite "pioneer" quilters is Talula Gilbert Bottoms. I first learned about her "Legacy" (and the book by that name) somewhere around 1990. Two books were written about her, one more of a history, and then the second book, Family Ties, had patterns for her quilts.
She had an amazing life! She was born during the civil war. Lived an incredibly hard life...and quilted her way through hundreds of quilts into the 1940's. So you can imagine the types of fabrics and styles of quilts that passed under her needle.
I often find myself looking through pictures of her quilts for inspiration on settings,etc.
This is how I came upon the sashing I wanted to use for these murky double T blocks. I have had these for 4 years or more...worked on them at a couple retreats...they weren't getting any better! I was inspired by an antique quilt..but I think that antique's double pink background was not as dark as mine, and my T's are lost in the background. What to do?
I asked Talula! And I turned to a quilt she made that had red and green striped sashings, and big green cornerstones and I knew that was what I wanted to do. Originally I was going to just set the blocks together side by side so they all touched, but the T's were lost in the sea of dark double pink and it wasn't making me happy.
Talula..if you are out there, this T quilt is thanks to you!
On the homefront here.....Sadie's stitches were all inflamed and she was oozing between her sutures :c( She seemed to be itching really badly scratching and licking herself non stop, so I spent this morning at the vet with her. Got some meds, a shot...and a funky clown collar to keep her from licking herself! SHE HATES IT! I don't blame her. But it is doing the job, she can't lick herself at all...
9 comments:
I'm glad you turned to Talula for help, she's one of my favourite quilters too.I think those blocks would be really hard to set, but the triple sashing is a great idea, makes them something special.
Poor Sadie, she looks like a creature in Australia that's called a Frilled Neck Lizard. They have a great big ruff around their necks like this,it's even folded that way. Hope she heals soon.

Sudan-South Sudan border talks 'end without progress'
Peace talks between Khartoum and Juba to set up a demilitarised buffer zone have ended with Sudan accusing South Sudan of seeking to create "10 disputed areas," state media reported on Friday.
The defence ministers of Sudan and South Sudan met this week in Addis Ababa to discuss border security, including a cessation of hostilities and the establishment of a demilitarised area along their common frontier.
But the African Union-mediated talks ended on Thursday with the two sides unable to agree on the line from which the safe demilitarised border zone would be drawn, Abdelrahim Mohammed Hussein was quoted as saying by the official SUNA news agency.
"The map which South Sudan has adopted, and which it wants to be the basis of the demilitarised buffer zone, is considered hostile, and does not reflect the spirit of friendship or seek to achieve peace between the two sides."
"Instead [the South] wants to create 10 disputed areas between the two countries, like Abyei," Hussein said, referring to the contested border region where negotiations are currently deadlocked.
There was no immediate comment from South Sudanese officials.
The AU-led talks are the first between the two sides since they came to the brink of all-out war in April.
Sudan's Hussein said that during the talks both parties had agreed in principle to cease all hostilities, withdraw their troops from each other's territory and stop supporting and sheltering rebels.
Sudan was ready to resume negotiations when invited by the AU mediators to return, he said, adding that he expected them to do so in two weeks.
South Sudan split from the north last July following decades of devastating conflict, but the two sides have remained at loggerheads over a number of unresolved issues, including border demarcation and oil transit fees.
The AU-lead talks have been ongoing since independence, but a number of ceasefire agreements – including a deal to demilitarise border areas – have been repeatedly violated by both sides.

We went to Arizona for a family reunion. Two members of the fam live there, one group came from California, another group from Georgia, and we came from New Mexico. We used to live in Arizona so we didn't do any sightseeing.
We had a picnic lunch Friday in the mountains on the way in.
After a quick dinner in our hotel room it was time to hit the pool!
After pool time it was cake time. My hubby's birthday was on Friday.
Each morning we headed to the breakfast room at the hotel and then spent some time letting the kids play outside before it got too hot. We had a patio outside our room and spent a lot of time in the morning and evening chilling out there.
On the fourth my parents took the children on a shopping spree at the dollar store. Then we came "home" for lunch and swimming while the baby napped.
All of the out of town family members stayed at the same hotel so we had fun seeing each other at breakfast and hanging out in the pool each night. We kind of took over the pool every evening. There weren't that many people staying at the hotel because it is the off season in Arizona right now.
The whole group went to dinner together each night. You can see Elijah was ready to head back to the pool!
We left Monday morning. We stopped at the same picnic area for lunch. After we ate we hiked down to the creek to play for a bit.
Then it was back into the truck for the drive home. We missed a turn somewhere along the way and ended up taking a different route home.
We did find a neat place to go back and visit another time while we were making our detour.
It was nice to get away for the weekend.
In honor of our successful vacation I'm taking the rest of the week off of school! Wheeeeeeee!

John Henry Irons is better known as the armored superhero "Steel." Steel lives in Metropolis and has been a long-time ally of Superman. Irons first crafted his superheroic identity immediately after Superman apparently died at the hands of Doomsday. As the "Man of Steel," Irons was one of four individuals claiming to be the "real" Superman or the valid successor to Superman.
John Henry Irons is a Protestant and has expressed a clear belief in God and the afterlife on a number of occasions. Steel's primary identity may be as an engineer, however. Steel is typically not overtly religious.

re: "As noted in other discussions over the years they seem to bend over backwards to NOT assign denominations or faith statements to characters..."
Well, I think that goes for the "big 3" [Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman], for example. But many denizens of the DCU have expressed their religion explicitly, and I'm not just talking Wonder Woman and Kobra and Zauriel here... many more, have all stated their explicit beliefs...
Posted by Icon on Monday, March 06 2006 at 15:08:25 GMT
Many of those have their beliefs tied up in their powers or character. I'd have a much harder time saying what denomination (or absence of same) some of the more generically-themed characters are, like: Robin, Argent, Impulse..., Steel, Wonder Girl..., Joto, Hawkman..., Metamorpho, Captain Boomerang (Senior and Junior), and the like...

Australia's foreign minister summoned Israel's ambassador, saying it was a matter of "the gravest concern."
Australia seeks answers
The latest developments in Prisoner X's case prompted Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr to request an internal report.
"I'm advised in the form of an interim report that the Australian government was informed in February 2010, though intelligence channels, that the Israeli authorities had detained a dual Australian-Israeli citizen, and they provided the name of the citizen, in relation to serious offenses under Israeli national security legislation," Carr told a Senate committee Thursday.
He did not mention what the alleged "serious offenses" were.
Carr said Australia sought specific assurances from Israel, such as that the detainee would get legal representation of his choosing and that he would not be mistreated.
"At no stage during his detention did the Australian government receive any requests from the individual or his family to extend consular support," Carr said.
"The Australian government was advised through intelligence channels on December 16, 2010, (of) this individual's death on the previous day, and the deceased's family had been notified by Israeli authorities," Carr said.
The Australian Embassy in Tel Aviv assisted in returning the body to Australia, Carr said.
Sharp criticism over secrecy
As authorities stay tight-lipped about details of the man's case, speculation continues to swirl.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel said it sent a letter to Israel's attorney general about the case on Wednesday, criticizing the censorship and calling for the gag order to be scaled back further.
"What is far more concerning, of course, is the fact that a man was held in detention under heavy secrecy, and nothing was published about the reason for his arrest or the circumstances surrounding his death," wrote Dan Yakir, the association's chief legal counsel.
The letter argues that there is "considerable public interest" in more information about the investigation into the death of Prisoner X.
"Was it really suicide? Was there negligence in the supervision of the detainee? Has any official body taken responsibility? What steps have been taken to prevent the recurrence of similar events in the future?" Yakir asked.
Israeli government officials have made no further comments on the case.

Groklaw Closes
Award-winning FOSS legal site shuts down on fears of government surveillance.
The U.S. site Groklaw.net, which has documented the contours of the high-tech legal landscape for more than 10 years, is officially closing its doors.
Groklaw founder Pamela Jones, known throughout the FOSS community as PJ, posted a farewell message on August 20 that begins, "The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too. There is no way to do Groklaw without email. Therein lies the conundrum."
Jones goes on to explain that the climate of surveillance caused by Internet monitoring by U.S. intelligence means that she cannot guarantee the confidentiality of her sources. Without confidentiality, she cannot expect anonymous informants and off-the-record contacts to continue to provide information to the site. With the power and precision for which her blog is known, she goes on to compare the climate of government surveillance with a burglary in her home that she experienced years ago.
Groklaw rose to prominance documenting the famous SCO lawsuit, a long, complex proceeding that threatened the very existence of Linux. In addition, patents, recognition of Microsoft's OOXML format as a standard, and general information about copyright and licenses were the topics of published articles and discussions. Among other accolades, Groklaw received the 2010 EFF Pioneer Award, an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica, and the Award for Projects of Social Benefit of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). The Library of Congress has added Groklaw in its collection of historically valuable Internet materials.
Jones states that she plans to use the Internet as little as possible in the future. As for others who wish to communicate through email, Jones recommends,
"If you have to stay on the Internet, my research indicates that the short term safety from surveillance, to the degree that it is even possible, is to use a service like Kolab for email, which is located in Switzerland, and hence is under different laws than the US, laws which attempt to afford more privacy to citizens."

FAQ: Commenting via Facebook
You may have noticed that we did a complete overhaul of our commenting system, and you now need to be logged into Facebook in order to comment on any of our articles. There are several reasons why we did this, and you should be sure to check out our article on why we think this is the way forward. But outside of the "why," we figure you might have some specific questions on how this affects you. We will take a stab at anticipating your questions and answering them here. Do you have a question we didn't answer? Please email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
What will this look like for me?
The look and feel of Facebook Comments is similar to the old <Insert Name/URL of Website here> comments feature. You will be able to scroll to the bottom of a story to view existing comments. Unlike the old comments feature, however, you must have a Facebook account in order to post a comment.
OK, I have a Facebook page, but how do I submit a comment?
If you are already logged into a Facebook account, you can open a story and immediately post a new comment or reply to an existing comment. It's just that easy. If you are not signed into Facebook, you will be asked to login after you type their comment and press the submit button.
Can I create a fake Facebook page just so I can comment on your articles?
You can try, but you likely won't be successful. Facebook does a great job of figuring out whether or not a commenter is an actual person. This means that a comment made by someone using a non-verified, new or low-activity Facebook account cannot be viewed by others until a moderator approves the comment or Facebook (not the station) decides you're a real person.
All right already, I'm buying into this Facebook comment thing, but what do all these new boxes and options mean?
I've purposely avoided getting a Facebook page, and I don't want one. So, why are you excluding me?
We hear you. There are many people in our community who don't have or want a Facebook page. However, the reality is that Facebook has become the accepted standard for commenting on not only news websites but also entertainment pages. Here are some examples:
· http://mashable.com/
· http://www.wltx.com/
· http://www.lostremote.com/
OK, the reason I haven't signed up for Facebook is that I really don't want people to know what I'm doing every minute. I'm more private than that.
We understand the concern over privacy. It's become a huge issue for people looking for jobs, and with the ability to Google everything, we can see how you wouldn't want those Vegas pictures to surface to the wrong person. Ever. You can find out more about how to protect yourself on Facebook by clicking here.
I don't want your help. Seriously, I don't want to use Facebook. Now will you let me comment on your article?
Sorry, but no. Not having a Facebook page is definitely your choice, and we respect that. But we have discovered that our primary objective in making this change is to have real conversations with real people. And, thus far, the only platform that allows us to verify you're a real person is Facebook. If we see another way to do this in the future, we'll certainly consider adding that into our platform.
I'm on Facebook, but my boss is my friend. I don't want him to know my political views, is there a way to comment honestly and protect my privacy?
Yes … and no. The only way you can truly be sure your boss won't see something you don't want him/her to see is to not be friends with him/her on FB. That said, there are definitely a couple ways to protect your posts. First, you can simply choose not to share your comment on the Facebook wall. That way your boss would only know you commented on a story is if he happened across that exact article and read the comments. Alternately, if you protect your posts so that your boss cannot see pictures, comments and articles that you share, he won't be able to see your post even if you do share it on your wall. Find out more about your Facebook privacy settings here: http://www.facebook.com/help/privacy. Plus, if you've protected your wall and your boss does happen across that exact article, he won't be able to see your comment. BUT (and this is a biggie), this assumes that he is logged into Facebook. If he isn't logged into Facebook and comes across that article, he will see your comment as a public post.
If I've blocked someone from my Facebook page, will they be able to see my comments on your story page?
Yes … and no. If that blocked person is logged into Facebook at the time that they view the article, they cannot see your comments. If you've blocked them on Facebook, they will see other people's comments and replies, but they cannot see yours. BUT (the big one again), if they are not logged into Facebook at the time they view the comments on our story page, they will be able to see your comment as a public post. Keep in mind, you are still commenting on a story on our website, not on your Facebook wall, so you have to be sure that what you write here is something you are OK with the public viewing.
You actually think people will be nicer just because you've attached their Facebook profile to their comment?
Actually, we do think people will be nicer. There are certainly people out there who are mean-spirited and don't care who knows it. But websites that have adopted the Facebook commenting platform have noticed a significantly reduced backlog of off-color comments and "trolls." Plus, this new platform makes it easier for you to flag a comment or user, and it makes it easier for us to ban them if they're consistently inappropriate.
Is it your goal to eliminate comments? A lot of employers ban Facebook from office computers.
Nope. This is not a goal at all. However, if we end up getting fewer comments, but more of those we do get are thoughtful, relevant and respectful to the views of others and consistent with the values of our community, we are OK with that.
Is this supposed to shut me up or muzzle me in some way?
Not at all! We absolutely welcome your opinions, and we hope you'll keep them coming! What we think, hope and expect will happen is that people who hide behind an anonymous name to hurl threats or racial slurs will clean up their act. And, if they don't clean up their act, we think that you, our community, will self police those people by flagging their comments and helping us to ban them from our site.
What if I'm offended by user's comment?
You can mark a comment for abuse. The comment will not disappear until a specified number of different users flag the same comment, at which point it goes to the attention of the moderator.
How many flags does it take?
Unfortunately, we don't have that magic number to share. Facebook controls that, the station does not.
Can I delete my own comment or reply?
What happens when I do?
If you made a comment and had it posted to Facebook as well, deleting the comment from the story page will remove the comment from both the story page and your Facebook page. If you remove the comment from Facebook only, your comment will remain on the story page.
It seems that a lot of people are against this change. Who exactly were you listening to when you decided to implement this change?
We were listening to everyone. In addition to the comments you may see on our articles, we get a lot of phone calls and emails from people who are afraid to comment on our stories because they don't want to get bullied. What you may see here, or throughout our site, is not the sum of the feedback we receive. While we understand that not everyone is going to like this change, we truly do believe it will help create a more productive discussion. Many other concerns expressed also suggest that some users don't fully understand what this change means, or doesn't mean, to their ability to post comments here. Having looked in detail at the impact of this change on other websites, we are confident that once our audience has a chance to use this new solution, they will see that it really is very effective and easy to use.
I'm a public figure, and it's really important to keep my opinions private. So, now you're saying I can't join in the conversation?
We're sorry you feel that way. Our goal is for real people to have real conversations on this website about real issues that impact our community. We would hope that, for the most part, public figures would find such a forum useful, as public figures often use TV, radio, newspapers and websites in attempts to get their message across, reach members of our community and foster important conversations. Our view is that all opinions will be welcome here, but that they must made by real people willing to stand behind their point of view, rather than hide behind a cloak of anonymity. A "real world" metaphor is that we would like this forum to foster the same types of passionate conversation one might find at a town hall, PTA, school board, planning commission meeting or other public forum for important conversations about our community. We don't see being a "public figure" as an inhibitor to participation in such conversations and hope that you do not either.
Why don't you just block the IP address of the offenders?
While this seems like an easy out, blocking an IP address is a little more complicated than it appears, and it doesn't help us reach the goal we're trying to achieve: real comments from real people. By blocking an IP address, you block all content associated with that IP, which means it isn't selective. So, if someone is using a computer at a library, every future user would also be blocked from commenting on our site. And, just because you block an IP, that doesn't stop someone from going to another computer and logging back in, any more than the banning of any single "anonymous" alias would stop that user from creating five more and posting more undesirable commentary.
You have the power to delete comments, but you don't do it. You're just being lazy.
We do have the power to delete, but as soon as we delete one comment, we become liable for all comments. And as a news organization, we choose not to be a censor. By switching to Facebook, we think the need to delete and censor will disappear, as this forum is much more "self-moderated" than our current commenting platform. Users can opt to report abusive comments, and Facebook algorithmically decides when that comment should be blocked. Plus, when people have to attach a real name to their reply, they choose their words more carefully.
Why are you taking away my anonymity and freedom of choice?
We are not taking away your choice. You still have the choice to comment or not and of what to say and how to say it. If we wanted to remove your choice, we'd stop the ability for commenting altogether on our website. By taking away your anonymity, we are simply ensuring that people are willing to back up what they say with a real name. Being anonymous made it too easy for people to say mean and hurtful things without any accountability. Now every poster has to be accountable for their words.
Well, that's just discrimination. I don't use (and don't want to use) Facebook.
If you want us to know what you think on a topic, you are always more than welcome to call us at 810-687-9600 or send us an email at email@example.com. We value your opinion. However, by switching to the Facebook commenting platform, we do not believe we are discriminating. We are simply requiring people to attach their real names to their comments. Right now Facebook is the best option to do this. As others arise, we will explore them and, if appropriate, add them to the site. It is worth noting that more than 800 million people worldwide use Facebook and that more than 90 percent of adults in the US who are online use it. It is 100 percent free of charge, available worldwide, accessible to all and as the world's leading forum for online conversation, brings far more assets to provide effective moderation and other features and functionality that users enjoy, than any TV station (or radio station, newspaper, etc.) website could hope to. This is why, as noted in other parts of this documentation, so many other websites, blogs and online properties are doing the same thing.
Do you get paid by Facebook to implement this change?
Why don't you get a moderator? There are other solutions to foster respect other than turning to Facebook.
With the hundreds of comments that we get on our site each day, no one person could adequately moderate every comment. We've researched other solutions, and we've even tried a few. At this time, Facebook is our best option to ensure that people "keep it real" while commenting on our stories. In truth, we honestly do not wish to "moderate." We do not seek to delete comments or to ban users. What we seek is to raise the level of conversation to the point where it meets our community standards and to ask all members of our community to adhere to those shared values. We feel like the best way to do this is to require users to comment with their "real names." For those who value their online anonymity and would prefer we find a solution that would preserve that, we respectfully disagree. There will always be other online forums for anonymous debate, and we welcome your use of those at your discretion. Minbcnews.com and NBC25, however, wish to move forward with a conversational platform between those willing to stand behind their comments with real names, as we do online, on Facebook and on TV every day.
Does this change affect how I submit calendar items, birthdays and other community information?
No. You can submit birthdays, calendar items and other community information just as you've always done.
And just so you know, we aren't the only ones who think this is a good idea. Here are some articles that give a little more background on what commenting via Facebook means … and why it's a good thing.

Most helpful review
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 24 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
this film stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, and is superb.
Nicole stars as a Washington, D.C. psychiatrist who finds herself in the midst of a mysterious epidemic that alters human behaviour.
She soon learns that the epidemic is extraterrestrial in cause, and also that her son might be the key to preventing an immediate invasion.
When her son becomes infected, she and a colleague must work together to find a cure, before the entire world is lost.
it has a touch of 'The invasion of the body snatchers' about it, but is very good. well worth renting out.- Was this review helpful to you?

Another bodysnatchers clone (Yawn)
By lucien86 (7 reviews) from Haltwhistle , 25 Sep 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Yes this is yet another bodysnatchers clone - or mutant child. Not bad as such things go but it is an awful plot idea that I really loath, the basic idea is always the same and it has been done better elsewhere. The thing I really hate is that its cheap (cheap cheap cheap cheap) to have aliens that look exactly like humans, and it feeds off and drives that stupid paranoia that we cant trust people / that we cant trust anybody, that the government is out to destroy us /sell us out to aliens / , etc. The real truth is that it is one of the weakest laziest ugliest sci-fi metaphors and needs to be stamped out!- Was this review helpful to you?

Discuss Psychic Abilities for Free. No Account is Needed.
Ok just a quick poll if anyone wants to discuss it. Lots of people use shielding at least from time to time. Which do you find most useful? I know shields are often built to do multiple things but if you had to pick one, which would it be? Why? What do you think are some of the strengths, weaknesses and potential problems of the different shield types? If you run something unusual there's an "Other" category in there as well.
Mirror/Deflective shields
Ok I'll start. I like deflective shields for helping keep down background "noise" in particular. They're relatively simple at their basic level so can be thrown up rapidly if needed especially with practice.
Potential disadvantages- Watch where you're deflecting to! Setting it to deflect and ground is nice for your neighbours :) Not great by itself if you're dealing with anything with any degree of intellegence as it can come back. If using reflective rather than deflective, stuff will actually strike the shield before being moved away. (Which could cause a problem under certain circumstances). Don't put this shield under another one.
Bubble shields
Advantages: Nice simple shield. Things with simple programming are easier to get the hang of so may be more stable- Great for learing purposes. Can give an edge to your field for every day/minor help.
Disadvanges: Not the strongest of shields. Simple programming can make it of limited use.
Advantages: Can absorb energy rather than relying on reflection.
Disadvantages: Ick! Clostrophobia (Actually maybe that's just me). Can be prone to breakdown with some types of constructs.
Hedge/cloak shield:
Multiple types from the "I'm not here/I'm a tree" suggestion types, through to scan re-routing, scan "shredding" (For want of a better term- basically messing up the scan) etc.
Advantages- Hide when you want to. Can be used to draw attention away from you if you want at times.
Disadvantages: More advanced shielding type. Is only as good as your skills are. Some require resonable skill in other areas such as telepathy. Shield type must be the outer layer.
Ok there's a start. Agree/ Disagree Anyone want to add anything? Custom shield types you want to share?
Really all I use is the bubble shield and _occasionally_ the cloaking.
Cloaking really for just one thing..Sneaking out of the house. *sigh* I'm having my 19th birthday soon, and still have to sneak out of the house. My father is really big on making sure I'm not out at night and stuff..So I pretty much just walk right by him and out the door when I got this thing going. Its really not even a shield for me, its just some heavy TPS. I imagine myself kinda dissappearing, and a ripple effect where I diffuse into the environment..Then I sort of broadcast "nothing to see here.." and I just walk by. My father was in the kitchen, and I walk right by him, open the back door, walk out, and go. It wasnt until about 2 minutes later (I was all the way down the street) when he called me and asked "did you just walk out the door?"
The bubble shield I never really starting using until now. For a long time now, empathy has been a pain in my ass..And I've just been sitting there taking it. Not doing anything about it (Laughter in the backround..) The usual testimony on how empathy is..Its got its useful perks, but crowded places are HORRIBLE. Its completely unbearable most of the time. Sitting there in a crowded room. Now, most of the time I turn out okay because I'm not stuck in the situations for long.. But this time, I was stuck there for 5 HOURS. And let me tell you, after the second hour, I was about to crack. I was seriously just about to leave and not even come back, I couldnt handle it. But then I remembered..Ahh! Shielding! So I excused myself, and made my way to the bathroom downstairs down a long hallway (I walked away shaking..) I get to the bathroom, and completely ground and center myself, clear my mind, and just relax for a bit..Wich is usually how I deal with empathy. Basically just have to get away and clear myself up and relax. So I did that, and then I made a shield..I slowly walk back to the room, and I go sit back down in my seat..
AHHHHH. RELIEF. It was seriously mind blowing, and I couldnt believe it. I could actually walk back in the room..and feel nothing. Seriously, I cant describe how amazing it was. It was such a relief, and I was so relaxed, just sitting there..I had a huge smile on my face, and I was just like..ahhhhhhhhhh yess..
End of story. lol.
Hehe brings me back to high school when people used to talk in front of me on a regular basis when I was doing my "I'm not here" broadcast routine. (I wasn't listening in on purpose it's just people didn't always register I was there lol. They're lucky I disliked starting rumors :P). Don't do it much these days, but anyway. Not a shield as such, probably comes in more under a broadcast/suggestion, sounds like you're doing something similar.
Yeah empathy has it's good and bad points. Crowds can be a pain in the backside sometimes. Shields can be your friend there. Also recommend taking up some meditation techs. Being able to differentiate between "your's" and "their's" effectively can also really help. Grounding and centering are also great.
Yeah. I pretty much learned to ground and center on my own without really knowing what it was..Its what I learned to do because of empathy. But it doesnt work when your still around the people :P I also find the shielding doesnt work until you get away from them first too, and then come back shielded.
I use an adaptive polyphasic layered shield that is fed by a wide net of energy taps. While I have never invited anyone to test it, I have not had any intrusions. The individual layers are each on a shifting frequency and pattern.
|X x X|0^0|vOV| Me |VOv|0^0|X x X|
Personally I never use shields. I do sometimes use bubble programs, but not for shielding purposes.
Hey ArcAvenger,
Just curious (you don't need to answer if you don't want to). Do you not use shielding because you don't feel the need, or are you more a fan of other techniques such as using focal medication etc to create the effect you need?
I don't use shields because I don't need them. I have good enough control over my mind not to have my energy drained from me. Also if someone chooses to bombard me with an energy based attack the best thing to do in the long run is to breathe it in. Energy can only hurt you if you let it. Plus people usually give up if they feel their attacks aren't hitting anything. It will feel kind of funny at first, but if you take in the whole sum of the attack, you can transmute it within yourself to serve you.
I wouldn't really condone breathing in "bad" energy until you have complete trust in yourself. That and you should get out of the mindset that there even is "bad" energy. Energy is just energy, you can take it in, and release it when it feels natural.
I've always been a big advocate of shielding, screening, and masking.
Shielding and screening can have a huge impact on an empath's life where constant noise gives way to quiet. They're also extremely important in emotionally charged situations where a sensitive may otherwise be overwhelmed. It has been my experience that learning to understand the need for shielding can improve the enjoyment of life for extremely sensitive people.
Shielding can also help out in situations where energy imbalance in an area is creating waves, or even imbalance in a person's personal energies. Negating the waves and tides of energy helps to keep a consistency of personal energy, which in turn leads to better personal balance and response.
In very unlikely situations shields may be used to negate or reduce unwanted energy interactions during "attacks" or even "assaults" by unskilled persons.
Learning basic shielding and defensive shielding should be one of the underlying skills in a psychics arsenal of techniques.

Becoming brainier
Electrochemical powering could help to reduce processors' heat dissipation, but there is a way to make a much bigger difference. Most of the heat from a chip is generated not by the switching of transistors, but by resistance in the wires that carry signals between them. The problem is not the logic, then, but the legwork. During the late 1990s, when transistors were about 250 nanometers across, 'logic' and 'legwork' accounted for roughly equal amounts of dissipation. But today, says Michel, "wire energy losses are now more than ten times larger than the transistor-switching energy losses". In fact, he says, "because all components have to stay active while waiting for information to arrive, transport-induced power loss accounts for as much as 99% of the total".
This is why "the industry is moving away from traditional chip architectures, where communication losses drastically hinder performance and efficiency", says Garimella. The solution seems obvious: reduce the distance over which information-carrying pulses of electricity must travel between logic operations. Transistors are already packed onto 2D chips about as densely as they can be. If they were stacked in 3D arrays instead, the energy lost in data transport could be cut drastically. The transport would also be faster. "If you reduce the linear dimension by a factor of ten, you save that much in wire-related energy, and your information arrives almost ten times faster," says Michel. He foresees 3D supercomputers as small as sugar lumps.
What might 3D packaging look like? "We have to look for examples with better communication architecture," Michel says. "The human brain is such an example." The brain's task is demanding: on average, neural tissue consumes roughly ten times more power per unit volume than other human tissues — an energy appetite unmatched even in an Olympic runner's quadriceps. The brain accounts for just 2% of the body's volume, but 20% of its total energy demand.
Yet the brain is fantastically efficient compared to electronic computers. It can achieve five or six orders of magnitude more computation for each joule of energy consumed. Michel is convinced that the brain's efficiency is partly due to its architecture: it is a 3D, hierarchical network of interconnections, not a grid-like arrangement of circuits.

This helps the brain to make much more efficient use of space. In a computer, as much as 96% of the machine's volume is used to transport heat, 1% is used for communication (transporting information) and just one-millionth of one per cent is used for transistors and other logic devices. By contrast, the brain uses only 10% of its volume for energy supply and thermal transport, 70% for communication and 20% for computation. Moreover, the brain's memory and computational modules are positioned close together, so that data stored long ago can be recalled in an instant. In computers, by contrast, the two elements are usually separate. "Computers will continue to be poor at fast recall unless architectures become more memory-centric", says Michel. Three-dimensional packaging would bring the respective elements into much closer proximity.
All of this suggests to Michel that, if computers are going to be packaged three-dimensionally, it would be worthwhile to try to emulate the brain's hierarchical architecture. Such a hierarchy is already implicit in some proposed 3D designs: stacks of individual microprocessor chips (on which the transistors themselves could be wired in a branching network) are stacked into towers and interconnected on circuit boards, and these, in turn, are stacked together, enabling vertical communication between them. The result is a kind of 'orderly fractal' structure, a regular subdivision of space that looks the same at every scale.
