Internet Addiction Left My Brother Homeless
Last Friday I walked into the most recent inpatient Internet addiction treatment center to open in the United States and asked a really dumb question. "Do you have Wi-Fi here?" I bumbled, prompting an awkward smile from the man who opened the door at the Fall City, Wash.-based ReSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program. It was the equivalent of walking into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and asking for a single-malt Scotch.
It was also revealing. I hadn't checked my e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter accounts for nearly 14 hours by the time I showed up at the wooded five-acre retreat, situated with some irony less than 15 miles from Microsoft Corp.'s Redmond headquarters. That drought had begun to eat away at me enough that by the time I walked through the door I was so fixated on plugging back in that my brain was able to push past the blatant insensitivity it took to ask such a question.
Most of my friends smirked when I told them I was heading up to Washington to write a story about the newly opened center, which sits on a wooded parcel of property adorned with a 3,500-square-foot craftsman house, Western red cedar treehouses, chicken coops, and goat pens. We all kid about being hooked on Facebook, but it doesn't really seem like the kind of thing anybody would need to drop $14,000 (the cost of a 45-day stay at ReSTART) on to quit cold turkey. The fact is, though, I have believed for some time now that Internet addiction is a very real phenomenon. And not just because I've read stories about the well-established and at-capacity treatment centers in China and South Korea, or because I know antisocial kids who routinely put in 14-hour shifts playing World of Warcraft. Internet addiction is the reason my 36-year-old brother has been homeless for most of his adult life.
I hadn't really understood this until recently, because having a homeless brother always terrified me too much to make any real effort to understand why Andrew could never get his life together. A couple of years ago I decided I'd protected myself from this depressing truth long enough. I contacted my brother and said I wanted to spend a day with him, from the moment he awoke to the time he went to sleep, to see what his life was like. I approached the trip with a journalist's curiosity and method—a pen and steno pad—but it was obviously going to be a personal expedition.
Andrew, who is four years older than I am, sleeps in a roomy tent, atop three mattresses he's acquired from one place or another, between a set of railroad tracks and Oregon State Highway 99, in a clearing ringed by blackberry bushes. He lives most days the same way. He gets up when he feels like it, walks to the local Grocery Outlet, and uses food stamps to buy a microwaveable meal. Then he treks over to the local soup kitchen and enjoys a free lunch, answering the greetings of his other homeless pals, who speak to me highly of the obese, bearded man they call "Ace."
When the rest of his buddies head off to the park to suck down malt liquor or puff weed, Andrew eyes a different fix at the Oregon State University computer lab, which is open to the public. He'll spend the next 10 hours or so there, eyes focused on a computer screen, pausing only to heat up that microwaved meal. He plays role-playing videogames such as World of Warcraft, but he's also got a page of RSS feeds that makes my head spin, filled with blogs he's interested in, news Web sites, and other tentacles into cyberspace. He goes "home" only when the lab closes. He's recently acquired a laptop, after much fundraising from sympathetic relatives, so he can now stay connected day and night, if he can find an open Wi-Fi hot spot.
Through the day I peppered him with questions, all meant to answer this one: why had he failed to make something of himself, and I hadn't? It was a complicated question, but it was pretty clear by the day's end that the most detrimental influence in his life, from an early age, was videogames and the Internet. We were both exposed to computers early on, but he had let them consume his identity.
Andrew was a child of Commodore 64s and online bulletin boards, and he was fascinated with them as far back as I can remember. With his early knowledge of computers and programming, I like to think he could have become an heir to Bill Gates, but he spent most of his time online goofing off, not developing software. Though my brother has never been officially diagnosed as an Internet addict, he readily admits that he demonstrates all of the signs and symptoms of the compulsion. His was a world of constant refreshing, immediate access to new information and stimuli. Before long, the real world couldn't hold his attention span. He dropped out of high school and spiraled down a path that eventually led him to homelessness.
The Internet is addicting, says psychologist David Greenfield, founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford, Conn., because it works on a "variable ratio reinforcement schedule," which is a fancy way of saying that it gets you high every once in awhile. This is based on a theory first espoused by renowned psychologist B. F. Skinner—not knowing whether a reward is coming is actually more compelling than being able to count on results every time.
"It can be as simple as finding an e-mail you like, hearing from somebody you love, being told a cousin is coming to visit, interspersed among a lot of neutral, less-salient information," Greenfield says. "You don't know how desirable that will be or when you're going to get it."
Greenfield's survey of 18,000 Web users, conducted in 1999, found that 5.9 percent of them demonstrate the symptoms of being addicted to the Internet. Since that survey, there hasn't been much comprehensive research on the topic, says Kimberly Young, founder and director of the outpatient Center for Internet Addiction Recovery because there aren't enough treatment centers from which to acquire comprehensive data.
That's partly because there remains some skepticism about whether Internet addiction qualifies as a real condition. Greenfield says he's spent plenty of time trying to convince colleagues that Internet addiction is genuine, and Seattle psychotherapist Hilarie Cash, one of ReSTART's cofounders, says she often hears from therapists who suggest that the issue isn't the Internet but whatever anxiety or depression compulsive users are suffering that may lead them to overindulgence. Still, as Cash notes, both China and South Korea have declared Internet addiction their countries' No. 1 public-health threat.
What is it about this modern invention that crosses the line from entertainment and simple utility to an addiction that can cost people their jobs, their shelter, and even their health? I don't remember being hooked on Monopoly or checkers, but I do feel something gnawing at me when I've let my e-mail inbox collect messages for too long. I spent many a long day in college playing first-person shooter games until my thumbs were sore. For real addicts, there are even more serious medical issues at stake: there have been at least 10 documented cases of people dying from blood clots caused by sitting in front of a computer for too long, Cash says. Cosette Dawna Rae, who cofounded ReSTART with Cash, got a call recently from a woman whose Internet-obsessed son had to have his leg amputated after a clot.
The Web may be dangerous for some people because it can feed or spur existing addictions, making gambling, shopping, and sex readily available to those who have already developed the compulsion to binge on those things. And now that going online is a part of everyday life, it may not be easy to escape the temptation. You can drive past a bar, but it's hard for many of us to keep a Web browser closed for more than a week at a time. "It's the delivery system," Cash says. "It's available, acceptable, affordable, and accessible."
The Internet also activates the same pleasure pathways in the brain as drugs and alcohol. As you continue to be rewarded, for completing the next level of a videogame or finding out a new piece of information, the connectors to the limbic system of the brain are stimulated, releasing euphoria-causing dopamine into the body. The brain remembers that happy feeling, encouraging you to keep going back for it.
ReSTART's clients operate on a 12-step program model, but they also do delayed-gratification tasks that many of us take for granted: they cook, clean, feed animals, and build things. The best way to break from virtual reality, believe the center's directors, is a healthy dose of actual reality. By checking back in to how normal people live their lives, clients—there have been only been three so far since the center opened earlier this summer—can in theory wean themselves off the constant rush they once got from the Web. Otherwise, it's daily psychotherapy sessions, to help them understand their addictions and the addictions' underlying causes.
It's a difficult problem to treat, says Jerald Block, a clinical psychiatrist at Oregon Health Sciences University who specializes in compulsive computer use. Among the three most common methods are antidepressants, treatment for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and extended retreats from the computer. Cutting off access too suddenly or without other treatment worries Block, he says, because the computer has often become a container for aggression and a major relationship for an addict. Removing those can lead to some very aggressive behavior, including suicide or violence against others, he says: "You're cutting the way they're dealing with all of their emotions."
My brother is outwardly content with his existence, rationalizing it by giving himself pep talks that at least he's not slaving away for some evil corporation at a wage that's beneath him. Andrew got his GED and tried several times to get a college degree, but anxiety and depression—two of the underlying symptoms that likely made computers and the Internet an appealing escape—kept him from being able to keep to a structure and conform. My mom had him tested for Asperger's syndrome once and he showed symptoms but wasn't diagnosable. He has been treated in the past for depression and anxiety, but says he never found the medications he was prescribed helpful. Is his obsession with the Internet an extension of these illnesses? It's hard to say, but either way, the effect is real: once he finally gave up on college, he found it nearly impossible to find jobs that paid a livable wage.
But I know that homelessness, financially independent as it may be, will kill my brother someday. When the temperature dips below freezing in January, he's still in that tent. It can't be fun pulling those blankets off in the morning and wrestling on his clothes in the middle of an Oregon rainstorm. He's had his camp burned to the ground by paranoid "neighbors." Teenagers once beat him up, for no other reason than that he doesn't live in an apartment. Just this month, somebody set fire to a homeless man in Eugene, and I wondered whether it was Andrew. Perhaps if my brother were to go to ReSTART, he could learn how to reconnect with the real world. Then again, he's been consumed by computers for most of the past two decades. Maybe he's a lost cause.
A big question for ReSTART clients is what happens when they leave. The Internet is a nearly inescapable temptation. Do they avoid jobs that involve computers? Vow never to look at a computer screen again? Rae and Cash have developed plans for clients who have graduated. They mostly advise establishing discrete sessions on computers—say, two hours a day—as a way to curb the dangers of the habit. But would you tell a heroin addict he can only smoke a gram a day? And could you keep your own browsing habits to under 120 minutes? "We work with each individual to develop a recovery plan," Cash says, keeping in contact with them about how to set limits on their personal use of the Internet or, if necessary, avoid it except for work-related tasks.
People who have a job that puts them in front of a computer will obviously have a tougher time regulating Internet compulsion, Greenfield says. The most important step is to be conscious that the behavior's dangerous; be aware that you may be getting high from it. Then, it's about changing patterns of use to make sure you're only using the Web when necessary, "not to medicate yourself because you're bored, scared, tired, or angry," he says. "You also have to work to fix the parts of your life that have atrophied due to the use of the Internet. I have cases where lives are essentially shut down because of it."
Intense therapy may be required for an extended period of time, Cash says, and there is a piece of hardware available at www.pcmoderator.com that shuts down the display on PCs once a user has surpassed a preset time limit. The adapter isn't available for Apple computers yet.
As Cash talks to me at ReSTART, I wonder, as I've spent parts of my entire life wondering, whether I could ever wind up like this. I spent hundreds of my childhood hours at an arcade, schooling adolescent competitors at Street Fighter II at the expense of my schoolwork, and during college I discovered a highly addictive site where I could while away my free time playing online spades. There were many 12-hour-long sessions before I finally worked up the nerve to walk away for good. I took a quiz on ReSTART's Web site, and I don't qualify as an addict, despite my frequent use of the Net, mostly because I don't feel truly compelled to stay plugged in and there's nothing detrimental about my time spent online.
I also wonder how many other people are addicted to the Internet without even knowing it. Research from Greenfield and others suggests that as much as 6 percent of the Internet-using population may have an addiction issue. The quiz is one good way to get an idea whether you have a problem. It's based on the same methodology as other surveys to detect addiction. If you had to stop checking your e-mail for a week (let's assume that you didn't have to do so for work), would it bother you? "People are starting to self-examine," Rae says. "Do I play too much? What would that look like?"
The next volume of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the psychology bible, will likely have a new category for nonsubstance addictions, which has already kicked off a debate among psychiatrists about what should fall under that heading. Does bingeing on social networking qualify as an addiction? That such questions are being asked is a sign that Internet addiction, no longer a wink-and-nudge kind of subject, is being considered a more legitimate disorder in America. Inclusion in the DSM will hopefully lead to increased awareness of the problem and more options for treatment, says Cash. "There aren't 12-step meetings readily available," she says. "I'm looking forward to the day when those groups abound."
So am I, because there's nothing chuckleworthy about this condition. I did feel a slight rush after I left ReSTART and hopped back online, but I don't think I'm to the point of needing treatment—yet. My brother, on the other hand, could have used some help a long time ago.

Hildegarde??? Have I gone crazy?
I have a crush on the name Hildegarde. However, Nameberry defines it as "Unfortunate name that evokes a caricature of heavy, plodding, Teutonic stodginess." That doesn't sound good, but I still love the name. What do you think? Would it be acceptable in the real world? If I gave that name to a daughter (no, I'm not having a child, just a what if). I think that Hildegarde Mabel/Hildegarde Maeve would be beautiful. Have I really gone crazy? :P

Alove For Enemies
Yup, I gots me another Christian hardcore record.
The first two releases from Alove For Enemies , the Broken Pledge EP and their debut album, The Harvest, did nothing for me at all; generic chuggariffic Christian hardcore with little or no character. However, with Resistance, Alove For Enemies seem to have found 'it'.
Though certainly not a groundbreaking, year end list type album, as it is still just burly metallic hardcore, Resistance is for what it is, a damn fine hardcore record. Everything has been upped from The Harvest; an ultra beefy production, sterner, more direct riffage, silly heavy breakdowns and a few effective introspective, 'clean' interludes, all wrapped up in the band's Christian themes.
Though Hatebreed, Full Blown Chaos and Terror may get all the attention for their respective releases in the genre, I I have actually been giving this (and Bloodshot's Ultimate Hatred) considerably more air time. The breakdowns are downright heavy, the song structures are adequately varied and deliver everything from strained, terse harmonies ("Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven", "Welcome to the Underground", "Will of Faith", "Tread on my Dreams"), short, typical hardcore stabs ("Call it Faith", "Rise of The Phoenix"), instrumental grace ("Emotion Is Chaos") and incredibly satisfying, lumbering, monolithic breakdowns ("Ec-10", "The Resistance", "Will of Faith", "Tread on My Dreams", "Hall of Mirrors"). All of it seems sincere and free from overly testosterone filled, scene fueled machismo, but rather a driven by a divine guided form of intelligent brute force-and it's slightly refreshing.
Though hardly an original release, Resistance does everything right for the genre and blows away label mates and faith mates Within, but as usual will have to fight against the Christian stigma that metal heads seem to bring out the worst in both sides of the metal vs. faith argument.

Linux authentication with Active Directory using Kerberos 5
/home, Sweet /home
The home directories are configured in the line 20 of the smb.conf file shown in Listing 3: template homedir = /home/%D/%U. Samba will replace %D with the short domain name and %U with the domain user. The administrator can either create the directories individually for each user, or automate the process by calling the pam_mkhomedir module, which is part of the PAM distribution and is configured in the session section:
# /etc/pam.d/common-session session required pam_mkhomedir.so silent skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 session sufficient pam_krb5.so session required pam_unix.so
This configuration tells the module to dynamically create missing home directories. The silent argument suppresses messages caused by copying from the skeleton directory. The last argument tells PAM to set the umask as the default for file and directory permissions to 0022. The setting allows programs running in the session to create directories with rwxr-xr-x and files with rw-r--r-- permissions.
As an alternative to local directories on kerberized clients, you could use home directories on a central file server. The PAM pam_mount.so module helps you do this. Any generic commands you want to run after the login procedure are added to the start scripts in /etc/profile.
Fully Integrated
Serveral steps are required to support Active Directory automated log in and home directories on a Linux client, but with Kerberos, NSS, PAM, and Samba, this integration project will help you stay friends with your neighbors in Redmond.

Report: Apple Ousted iOS Chief For Refusing To Apologize For Faulty Maps App
12:56 PM EST Tue. Oct. 30, 2012Apple on Monday announced the departure of its iOS software head Scott Forstall, in an unexpected move that was reportedly prompted by Forstall's refusal to sign a letter Apple issued last month apologizing for its faulty new Maps app in iOS 6.
According to a report Monday from the Wall Street Journal, Forstall, whose official title at Apple was senior vice president of iOS Software, had been working for years on Apple's new Maps app as a replacement for Google Maps. But when Apple's new Maps app made a disappointing debut among iOS 6 users, who claimed it was brimming with data inaccuracies, Forstall refused to apologize, the Journal said, citing "people familiar with the matter."
Apple CEO Tim Cook disagreed with Forstall's decision and ultimately issued and signed a letter on his own, apologizing for the new app's shortcomings. The letter was posted on Apple's website.
[Related: Apple Launches New 'iPad Mini' And Fourth-Generation iPad]
The Journal's sources said Forstall's kerfuffle with Apple execs over the new Maps app was one of several clashes between the two over the past few years. Forstall, who had worked closely with late Apple CEO Steve Jobs and was largely considered a potential successor for the CEO role, reportedly irked Apple senior execs by flaunting his relationship with Jobs, the Journal said, and by being uncooperative at times.
Forstall reportedly claimed that there was no "decider" at Apple after Jobs stepped down from the CEO role in August 2011.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment but said in a statement yesterday that Forstall will continue to serve as an advisor to CEO Tim Cook before he officially leaves the company next year.
Apple also announced Monday the departure of retail chief John Browett. The Journal reported that Browett was asked to leave the company after he "failed to fit in." Apple said in a statement that a search for a new retail head is already underway and that the company's retail team will report directly to Cook in the interim.
Additionally, Apple announced that Eddy Cue, head of Apple's Internet services, will oversee development of Apple Maps and Siri; Jonathan Ive, head of industrial design, will take on more software responsibilities and oversee Apple's "Human Interface" development; and Craig Federighi, head of Apple's Mac software development, will now also oversee the iOS group.

10/03/2008: Kazakhstan: USCIRF Concerned Over Problematic Religion Law |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oct. 3, 2008
Contact: WASHINGTON—The Kazakh parliament has moved decisively toward passage of a draft law governing religious communities that would restrict rather than strengthen protections of freedom of religion or belief. The law follows the example of other former Soviet republics that have increased legal and other restrictions on freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief.

Series of investigations
The targeting scandal and a separate inspector general's report that documented wasteful spending on IRS conferences in past years have led to a series of investigations of the tax collection agency by Congress, the Department of Justice, the tax administration inspector general's office and Werfel.
The IRS admitted there was unfair targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status starting in 2010, but officials said the action was a bureaucratic shortcut in its Cincinnati office rather than an exercise of political bias.
In his report that disclosed the misconduct, George said there was no evidence of a political motive. However, George is continuing to investigate the matter, along with the FBI and the congressional committees.
Republicans argue the controversy is proof that the administration and progressive groups have been trying to clamp down on those who disagree with Obama's agenda.
Camp, a Michigan Republican, said Monday that the IRS "still needs to provide clear answers to the most significant questions -- who started this practice, why was it allowed to continue for so long, and how widespread was it?"
"This culture of political discrimination and intimidation goes far beyond basic management failure and personnel changes alone won't fix a broken IRS," Camp said in a statement that promised continued investigation.
As part of his review, Werfel said 80 groups awaiting IRS action on their applications for tax exempt status for more than 120 days could self-register with the agency as long as they certified under penalty of perjury that they would comply with applicable laws and regulations.
At the heart of the matter is what kind of organization can qualify for tax-exempt status. Regulations limit such status to groups primarily involved in social welfare activities, while political groups are considered ineligible.
Confusion over defining what constitutes political activity versus social welfare activity contributed to the targeting by the IRS, Werfel said.
An IRS statement on Monday said the "safe-harbor" option for self-certification would apply to groups that "certify they devote 60% or more of both their spending and time on activities that promote social welfare."
"At the same time, they must certify that political campaign intervention involves 40% or less of both their spending and time," the statement said. Applicants meeting those thresholds would get approval within two weeks of seeking self-certification, it said.
Werfel said the IRS would continue checking on tax-exempt groups to ensure they were following the law.

Academy Award®-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots with this original and darkly humorous story about one ordinary man's quest to become a serious man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) can't believe his life: His wife is leaving him for his best friend, his unemployed brother won't move off the couch, someone is threatening his career, his kids are a mystery and his neighbor is tormenting him by sunbathing nude. Struggling to make sense of it all, Larry consults three different rabbis and their answers lead him on a twisted journey of faith, family, delinquent behavior and mortality in the film critics rave is "seriously awesome!"

Did you get any juicy Scandal scoop when you were on set? — Laura NATALIE: Olivia Pope might be the First Mistress, but it's her co-workers who will bear the brunt of that revelation in the season premiere. "It makes it hard because they go from being people who manage other people's crises to people who have to manage their own crisis in a big way," Kerry Washington tells me. "When Olivia herself is at the center of it, it really challenges everybody. It's hard for them to figure out what their roles are. If she's the client, how can she be the boss? Who gets to make the rules?"
Got any more teases about the Hawaii Five-0 premiere? — Lindsay ADAM: Look for McGarrett to be very proactive in his efforts to find out exactly what Wo Fat's connection is to his mother.

The Big Bang Theory has done what few shows on television have done before: It has actually grown in viewership since its first season by more than 10 million viewers — and it keeps getting bigger.
The CBS comedy closed out last season with 18.6 million viewers and a 6.2 rating in the adults 18-to-49 demographic, making it the No. 1 comedy in both measures, a feat unheard of for a show heading into its seventh season these days. The ratings are only topped by the show's eight Emmy nominations, including Comedy Series, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jim Parsons and Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Mayim Bialik.
The Big Bang Theory, arguably the geekiest show that fits right at home at Comic-Con, hit San Diego on Friday for a panel with executive producers Steve Molaro and Bill Prady, as well as a slew of writers from the CBS series. The group, which took fans inside the minds of the writers, was joined by stars Melissa Rauch, who moderated the panel, and Johnny Galecki, who dressed up in Princess Leia's Bounty Hunter disguise to ask the writers a question before joining them up on stage. read more

now that I've had time to check this game out for quite a bit, I find that many of the problems seem to be related to the vehicle skins and unlockable parts. I'm lvl77 and had no troubles for a long while, since I didn't use any bikes, now that I started to use them, everytime I unlock parts in them the game starts to crash if I don't go and change them right away. Hope you guys at evo can make any sense of this, but I've noticed this behaviour all along the way.

In a right of Reply exercised by Sri Lanka following the panel discussion and interactive dialogue on missing persons, under item 3 on Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development at the 9th Session of the Human Rights Council, on 22 September 2008, Mr. Yasantha Kodagoda, Deputy Solicitor-General, Attorney-General's Department stated the following.
"Mr. Moderator, let me at the very outset express to the Government of Pakistan and its people my Government's condolences regarding the most gruesome terrorist attack that took place in Pakistan last weekend.Mr. Moderator, it is indeed very unfortunate that two organizations which addressed this august assembly abused this debate by engaging in a naming and blaming exercise distorting the truth. It was alleged Mr. Moderator, that an ethnic profiling exercise is afoot in Sri Lanka. We deny this allegation.
In Sri Lanka, we have a well functioning and vibrant Supreme Court which engages judiciously in the promotion and protection of human rights. It is unfortunate, Mr. Moderator, that the advocates of human rights who make these unfounded allegations against Sri Lanka, do not use this effective, domestic, legal remedy to obtain appropriate redress to the victims they allege to represent.
Mr. Moderator, we are indeed conscious that disappearances are a phenomenon that plagues human civilizations. We are committed to upholding the rule of law and working with UN mechanisms to resolve this issue even at a time when the very unitary character and the existence of my country are being threatened by ruthless terrorists.
Mr. Yasantha Kodagoda
Deputy Solicitor-General,
Mr. Moderator, we fully endorse the continuation of this debate on disappearances during the future sessions of this council. In our view, this process should be aimed at supplementing the mandate of the UN working group on enforced disappearances and the very useful work being done in the field by the ICRC.
Thank you."

NP Rank:
Police assault woman with phone and 50 feet radius to film them
If you film the police in Austin, Texas, or anywhere else for that matter, should you have to be 50 feet away? Also, should everyone be 50, or even 60 feet away, or just those filming the police? Can other bystanders be closer? Also, if the filming is at a crowded event with a lot of people, is a rule requiring 50 feet distance for those who film police, reasonable in the least? The Austin Police Department, after the latest arrest of an individual named Anthony Bueheler, for filming them, is thinking about making this rule.
Back in January, Mr. Bueheler filmed what seems to be unnecessary use of force on the part of an Austin cop. The cop obviously didn't like Bueheler filming from at least 25 feet away. Frankly, I don't think that cop would have liked him filming from 250 feet away. Mr. Bueheler was dragged to the ground. Amazingly, he still faces charges even with video showing the illegal arrest by the officer.
Indeed, while he is facing these charges he cannot even view the internal affairs investigation report on the actions of the officers, so so much for due process and discovery. By the way, police in the U.S. do an excellent job of hiding and censoring information so the public cannot view it, especially when officers are accused of civil rights violations.
So, because of Mr. Bueheler's expression of his First Amendment rights, Austin Police seem to be trying to regulate freedom of the press and speech out Austin city limits. Finally, is this rule of 50 to 60 feet distance, proposed by the APD, in order to ensure that the quality of video and audio is poor by the filmers? They would never admit to it, but I think it might be.
You by the way can polite contact the Austin Police Department and ask them to drop the criminal charges, especially for the January arrest, of Mr. Bueheler. Also, ask them to ensure that the First Amendment isn't suspended by this arbitrary 50 foot filming rule.
Lastly, in Los Angeles, a woman who was stopped by police for talking on a cell phone while driving. After being pulled over, she got out of her car and started arguing with an officer. Immediately she was body slammed by him. She was then bodyslammed again after being handcuffed.
Luckily for her, there was a security cam video by a local business. If there wasn't, this woman might have faced years in prison. If this video was captured by a local photographer though, he would have been arrested also, with his video erased. That has literally happened dozens, if not hundreds of times around the country by police.
Now, her name was released, but why not the cops? Why do cops who do violence, not have their names released? What are they afraid of? Criminal suspects names are released. Heck, being arrested for prostitution means your name is not only released but splashed on a newspaper. Why is our government protecting rotten cops, in L.A. and throughout the nation? What are they afraid of, exactly?

Here's how RW members rated this race (201 votes).
In short: A race of two halves! In full: This was my first ever race so i've not got anything to compare to but overall It was pretty awesome, my only gripes where when you got around the harbour area and everything tailed off a bitPositives* Mostly Flat* Great Entertainment ( The Pentacle Drummer under the band stand were amazing) * That Hill * Great Crowd* First 8/9 miles is top notchNegatives* Last few miles around the harbour, felt a bit lost, no crowds, sharp turns* Medal was a bit rubbish* That hill * Only about 3 Gents portaloos* Kids handing out water didn't quite know when to let go* No one handing out water at harbour, having to take your own out holdersDate of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Slightly on the expensive side. But well organised and a decent route. Would do it again.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: loved every inute of itIn full: for my first half-marathon it was tough. the cold head wind sapped me for the last half. i must thank a fellow female competitor for her vocal encouragement, but i had to take a step back and let her race at her pace. i stopped only once, three quaters on the way up the hill- for that i am extremely proud. as some others have mentioned, wonderfull and sympathetic organisers- one pulled up a chair up for me at the end. loved every minute of it- and the choclate at the end was worth waiting for.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: An enjoyable, friendly race, that's improving well each yearIn full: Overall it feels like this event has improved since last year, when I think I described it on here as good, but could do better.That pesky hill between miles 2 and 3 felt a lot longer this year! Such a relief to reach the top and then take a well-earned breather and loosen the legs on the subsequent downhill stretch.There was an irritating headwind back along the sea front which meant it was another relief to enter the marina area which was a bit more sheltered. Thanks to better weather conditions the support was a lot more noticeable this year - always good for a boost if required. Nice to see pacers this year too. The 1:45 pacer chased me all around the course - I just couldn't shake him off ;) Can't fault the organisation at all. Lots of marshals around the course.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Really enjoyed the run (organisation and support was great), but not keen on the courseIn full: Really enjoyed the run (organisation and support was great), but not keen on the course: the hill which starts at around 4.5km is really tough (my Garmin reckons a steady 118m climb over 2.3km); headwind all along the seafront was draining (OK unavoidable); but main gripe is the numerous (5-10) tight, sharp turns (e.g. through the harbour area) where you lose time and more importantly, rhythm. Definitely not a course for a PB, but great fun and a challenging workout!Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: My first half. Well organised, decent atmosphere and good variety of scenery. The hill is challenging, but comes early which helps! Would recommend.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Excellent race and course, well worth the travel and money, huge recommendationIn full: Everything that could have been controlled was controlled brilliantly. The uncontrollables, dog walkers, weather were the only negatives, but this didn't detract from my opinion of the event.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Good race, lovely marshals and well orgnaised with plenty of entertainmentDate of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Good course, but questionable course length, pricey entry and cheap medal :(In full: Yes, entry-on-the day will always be a little higher, but please .. for £25, the medal is a joke. Granted, we don't run these races just for the medal, but would a bespoke medal really be out of the budget of the organisers? I doubt it. Coupled with the lack of water at the finish, thi year was very disappointing. Date of review: March 14, 2012
In short: One of my favourite courses, but small changes could make it a great race instead of the good race it currently isIn full: Postivies* Support at mile 11, everyone else has mentioned it, but superb effort from the girls once again. * Bagpiper - what a hero standing out in the rain for at least an hour* Toilets - I arrived an hour early and they were deserted. If you need to go 10 minutes before the start, you've timed it wrong. * Parking - overlooked in other reviews, but brilliant. Plenty of space, easy to get in and out for those at the front. * Course - I love the hill at the start, then the winding hill down to the start again. Brilliant test, and brilliant fun. From eight miles onwards gives the impression of 'winding around to make up the distance', which brings me on to my negativesNegatives* 21.3KMs is not a half marathon. It is a half marathon plus 200M. * Muddy field was in my opinion dangerous, it is lucky that noone got hurt slipping into the finish, it was a mudbath when I finished in 1:33, must have been AWFUL for those behind me. My advice for next year to make the distance correct - Move the start/finish 100Ms closer to the exit of the field, eliminating the field as much as possible. Other than that small whine, which should not put anyone off doing this race if you're considering it in future, I love this course, love the atmosphere and will definitely be back for attempt #3 next year.

Pots Vs HoT's
Posted 23 October 2009 - 05:39 AM
Now I personally prefer HoT pots as you can pop them at the start of a fight if you get an extra mob or something, and they tend to keep you ticking over nicely. Single heal pots generally leave you wanting the CD for a mana pot as you tend to use them later in a fight.
The thing is you can still use a single heal pot, which generally replaces the same HP AND have a Hot running, but you can't have a HoT pot and a cast hot running at the same time..
I know it's not the end of the world, and there's kittens out there that needs hugs and stuff, but I find it VERY irritating that such a mechanic exists in the game :pow:

I think most decent players tend to look after themselves and help out healers when needed. Most tanks are so used to popping pots it becomes second nature during heavy dmg. A HoT pot will continue to mitigate dmg after a heal is received also giving a buffer to subsequent heals.
The other thing to consider is that if people are in small groups of two or three or solo. If my team mate pops a HoT pot and I overwrite it with a cast hot that heals for less it's counter productive.
Also in PvP, it's up to people to react accordingly, if they are getting low on hp they may be OOR of the healer, or the healer could be cc'd.
This obviously isn't a thread to advocate the use of pots, but those that don't use them even if they do have a healer or if they are one hit from death, are the ones that usually end up blaming the healer when they over extend.

Yea, this is why I tend to use the Chanter's HoT in a fight, solo or in a group, to keep people up who will be taking damage. Usually just the tank, but myself, the cleric, or a melee dps if they're taking damage. If someone takes more damage, well thats when you pull out the direct heals. The highest HoT pot does more hps then the Chanter's HoT by about 81hps, but is 18 secs shorter (so ours is almost twice as long). In otherwords, its nice for an emergency if you have too many mobs, or are running away. But in most situations I wouldn't waste the money because Chanter's HoT is better.
Although on the overwriting spell/pots thing, I don't notice people popping health pots much in groups. I've noticed between a Cleric and a Chanter, people tend to trust us and are used to the group environment by my level so they don't waste their pots. Although if I saw they had one and they didn't have much damage, I'd leave them alone, unless they took a lot of damage. But if I see a Cleric's HoT, yea I'll still overwrite it because like the above poster said, Chanter's is better.

Unless you use Major Recovery Potions instead of Major Mana/Life Potions like my static does.. Good thing our chanter is willing to remember not to use hots on anyone.

Diao said:
No, he's still right. Serum + HoT will heal more than potion alone. By using recovery pots you're just unnecessarily restricting your mana recovery in the same way. If recovering both with a single chug is still an important factor for you, you should be using recovery serums not potions.
Regarding the Chanter vs Cleric HoT, the Chanter one is only better up to level 40. The tooltip value of the chanter HoT will always appear superior, but by that time the Cleric's passive +heal% bonus will make theirs slightly better for HP/s. There are still valid reasons for a chanter to use their HoT, such as taking some of the healing burden off the Cleric, and reducing their enmity. But from a pure healing standpoint, after level 40 Chanters should not be replacing Cleric HoTs under the mistaken assumption that they heal more.
Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible.
Posted 28 January 2010 - 03:50 AM
The point is that generally you don't need the extra healing from that hot, and it shouldn't be used in most cases like ours as it's simply a waste of mp.
Word of Revival heals 1460 over 38 sec for 124mp, while a major recovery potion heals 1540 hp and 1600 mp in 20 sec, on a 30 sec cd. Healing Light heals for 1116, while an instant healing pot heals for 1410. It's far more efficient to use a major recovery and do a normal heal, than it is to use a hot and an instant pot.

^That's me!~
But yea, feels like our hot doesnt do much anyways. So I kinda stopped using it. I only really use it on myself and just heal others with recovery spell/healing light. Feels more effective. Plus I only heal in those needed situations, where the HoT would be useless anyways, unless I wanted them to die :D

Mana Treatment does not share a Cooldown with the mana over time potions, but are mutually exclusive. Using Mana Treatment in conjunction with Serum returns more MP than a potion alone with the drawback being the ability's casting time. As a cleric I use Mana Serum, Mana Treatment and Penance independently to maximize mana recovery. Likewise, using Life Potions when they prelude a casted HoT might be counter productive if they result in less overall HP recovery than using Serum in conjuction with a casted HoT due to mutually exclusive overwrites.
Now, you can make the case that a Life Potion will recover more HP over time than Life Serum alone. Major Life Potion curing 154 HP per tick for 10 ticks would cure 1,540 HP over its duration, whereas a Major Life Serum will only recover 1,410 HP all in one shot. This assumes, of course, that the Major Life Serum won't bring you over your maximum HP (in which case I would argue that you should probably stop chugging pots reflexively and start waiting until you can actually use the HP, also you can feel free to share some of that apparently excess wealth with me.)
Consider, though, the financial implications. A Greater Life Serum would cure 1,160 HP over the course of 20 seconds. Using my current HoT as a 46 Cleric, I would restore 71 per tick with 15 ticks (we can keep the full duration even though my Cleric HoT lasts longer than the potion because my HoT times out within 30 seconds, the cooldown on a potion) for an additional 1065 HP, totaling at 2,225 HP restored, so about a 45% increase in healing at (server dependent) a lower financial cost to the person potting themselves to help the healer out and only a small MP cost to the healer, which could be even a more dramatic difference if you were to use the same tier of serum (I'm pulling punches with a nod to the fact that potions aren't free).

The point that is serums combo; potions don't. When you're talking about performing the best you can, HoT + Mana Treatment + Recovery Serum will get you more HP and MP than any other combination.
In theory using recovery potions is slightly better than using just mana potions and HoTs, I'm not disagreeing with that. I simply think you're spending premium kinah and not getting premium performance. If your argument is simply that recov pots are better than mana pots and hots, I'm telling you that recovery serums in combination with hots and mana treatments are considerably more powerful.
The reality is in most group situations you don't need the double up performance of recovery pots. For grinding trash you really only need MP maintenance with spot HoTs on the 1-3 people taking damage. The best all around combination in terms of cost / usefullness balance imo, is to use greater mana pots for cheap mana maintenance while grinding trash with healer HoTs for mitigation on anyone taking damage (pre-40 chanter HoT is better, post-40 cleric one is). Keep major recovery serums for multi pulls or chain stuns in boss fights when you really need to help the healer out in a pinch. When you actually NEED the extra healing, the insta heal at the right moment will greatly outweigh having a potion-HoT on you randomly 2/3 of the time.
If you have the Calamot DP morph, greater healing pots are incredibly cost efficient. On my server they're 3-5x cheaper than major mana pots, and they restore 95% as much mana. They're even more cost efficient than mana treatment for me if I get a good deal on aether gems.
Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible.

Over the last weeks I've been secretly working on reviving this project. Added the ability to select any font from the system and customize colors etc. Download, run the installer It will enable the OSD in all 32-bit DirectX games (no OpenGL, no 64-bit). You can change settings by clicking the icon in the systray. If you have GPU-Z running it will pick up the GPU-Z sensors and add them to the OSD I'm unsure what kind of customization people are looking for. Also thinking about some sort of auto arrange that takes a few input parameters, but again, unsure of what you want.
Now all we need is overclocking added in to gpu-z along with this and we have something better than everything else on the market
I just have the express versions here at home for 2010 so ... vcsexpress.exe for VC# VCExpress.exe for VC++ vbexpress.exe for VB VWDExpress.exe for Web developer. My full copy of VS 2008 uses devenv.exe.
Since the OSD service has to detect when a 3D app is started to show itself, how about a "Time Played" display? ... or maybe an alarm function where the user could set a time that the OSD would alert them when they reach? Just some thoughts.
Also maybe a plain old clock as well so I'm not late for work again I know it's a longshot since I don't think many people have/use one, but a logitech g15/ g17/etc keyboard display app would be cool too.
I think the timer would be more useful than time played. Hate to burn the pizza and chicken wings !! Maybe a frame rate limiter in case you need one for certain games? (shrug)
that was just my through aswell 1nf3ern0x, a screenshot ability would be really wicked to have in it W1zzard if it's possible ofc and it works like a clam just tested it for 10mins and nice with all the options from GPU-Z u can choose on ur own, i mean which u want to have to look at even the time clock ^^
I was wondering why I only had 3 settings (current fps, rendering api, time) Then I double checked and I'm running 64bit. I do like this program and will be very useful in full screen mode to still monitor things since toolbar is gone. I'm guessing at some point there will be 64bit support?
Thanks Puma. There all there now. lol. I wasn't thinking of the ones missing were the ones you get from gpu-z sensors. lol
I did not get a crash but a locked up system for about 4 minutes. I wish it would save were you put it as it always defaults tot he corner i select.
in what way are you guys arranging your sensors? right now a very primitive auto arrange is active that messes up custom placement. I'm unsure though how a manual auto arrange should work
I just leave everything at default. THe footpront of the text is small enough to not be obtrusive with all the sensors enabled. However, I see that with two GPUs, it swaps between displaying data from each. It is a bit hard to distringuish which GPU is which, or under load, what's actually going on, as my cards run very similar temps and fan speeds. When i get my third card back form RMA, it's going to be worse.
gpuz's shared memory has no support for multiple gpus. so the instances overwrite each other's data. not on the list of things to get fixed immediately. in a perfect world gpuz would be rewritten to poll multiple cards with a single instance of gpuz and new shared memory layout that has info and sensors for all gpus in the system
This, Also, it seems to block steam ingame windows. Apart from that, works fine with my set-up Edit: windows live messenger (msnmsgr.exe) probably doesnt benefit from this, so i guess it can be added to the exclusions list.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We chose this design for our invites, response cards, thank you cards, stickers and direction cards and are very happy. We picked the pearl shimmer paper which gives the invite a lovely glow. We asked the designer to change some of the font and got our names and the venues name start with capital letters but they look stunning either way! Also had them sent from California to Australia within 4 days. Very happy, good work."
"Through my own oversight, the wedding invitations were on the wrong paper. The response cards were correct. When I called customer service, Marla was cheerful and helpful. She arranged for the return of the incorrect portion of my order with a 100% refund. She also ordered the corrected invitations. They were shipped less than 12 hours after our conversation. It's a pleasure doing business with a company whose customer service representatives have the authority to "give" customer service. No need to say "let me check with my manager."
"This invitation turned out beautifully and I couldn't be happier! I ordered it in the pearl finish and it gives it a little shine. I did change the format a little bit, instead of lowercase letters throughout, I capitalized the first letters in our names which I personally thought looked really nice. They sent the proofs over very quickly and then the delivery only took a few days. Highly recommend!"
"I am so very happy with my invitations and response cards - they are gorgeous. I'm even happier, however, with the quality of service I received from Wedding Paper Divas. The designer who helped me went out of her way to look up the color that matched my bridesmaids dresses. I absolutely love it! And I've already gotten multiple compliments on the design! Thank you for helping to make my wedding invites such a pleasant and memorable experience!"
"I was so happy with how these invitations came out. I had the orange and pink design. The colors shown online were true to the actual printed invitation. I had paid for the shimmer paper which I thought was totally worth it. Overall such a great experience working with Wedding Paper Divas."

Kid rewrites science
A 15-YEAR-OLD schoolboy has helped change the way science views the way galaxies are formed.
Neil Ibata, son of the British astrophysicist Rodrigo Ibata, had done a work experience stint at his father's lab at Strasbourg Observatory a couple of years ago and went back for two days at the end of his school summer holiday.
His father, who was researching Andromeda - the nearest galaxy to our own - asked his son to develop a computer program enabling him to visualise the position and rotation speed of satellite galaxies. "The following evening I had the solution," Neil said.
The program revealed that dwarf galaxies formed a gigantic disk rotating on itself and in alignment with Milky Way. Although the ramifications of the find are not fully clear, they turned Mr Ibata's own assumptions on their head. "I was expecting the opposite," he said.
The findings were written up and have made the cover of Nature, making Neil one of the youngest researchers to co-sign a paper in the scientific journal.
In France, where the Ibata family live, Neil is being hailed by the press as "the new Einstein". Neil, however, is modest about his achievement, which he describes as "beginner's luck".
"I didn't immediately realise the full extent of my discovery," said Neil, a pupil at Pontonniers International Lycee, Strasbourg. "It was my father's team who explained the implications."

I'd say I'm at about 5%. I skip over most of the stuff.
Expect folks to skip ova this one too...
I usually read all types of threads.Even the FAO's...
I can admit it...
around 10%
really less, cause I don't always read the whole thread - specially if it's 15 pages long . .. but it all depends
strange some of the reasons that I'll pass over a thread are the same reasons I may read it
drama/emotional tempurature
How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me. - Zora Neale Hurston
i'd guess about 5%.
Any thread that has more than one reply with more than one paragraph gets skipped.
I don't read any of the threads. EVER!!!
R.I.P. George Hamilton
soo let me say .. 30% of them.. I like to lurk ..
Skip the drama,thread with more than 2 pages and read only about music,clubs,and events, otherwise i will watch the news.
It's about the music call House.
between 5-10%. i wish there were more music related threads, and less "anyone ever have athlete's foot?" types.

We needed storage in a newly renovated bathroom. This cabinet fits perfectly. We found it to be well made and exactly as described. Also, it arrived within 4 or 5 days.
This cabinet came quickly, and was everything we expected from the description and the photo. It went together well, using a hand screwdriver, not a power tool. This cabinet looks nice in our master bath. It will not get heavy use, sturdy enough for our needs. It is a nice white color, matching our ceiling and trim.
Good quality piece for the price. Looks really nice and I like the hardware it came with. The only thing I was disappointed with was the measurements. It said the depth was 14 inches. The top is 14 inches, but the actual cabinet is only about 13 inches. I bought it to use as a shoe cabinet so my husbands shoes did not fit in it like I thought. Overall though good piece of furniture.
I have purchased many items that required "some assembly". I have to say this is the easiest product I've ever assembled. It went together just as it was supposed to and all of the pieces and hardware were clearly marked. It seems very sturdy. My daughter received it as a Christmas gift to use in her bathroom as storage and she loves it!
Very easy to assemble, We bought two of them and assembled both in less than 30 minutes. These were used without the feet and installed them in a laundry area re-model. They are slightly deeper (14") than regular sized stock cabinets which solved a huge issue for storage. Now I have lots of room for everything, The shelves can flex a bit, they can't handle anything too heavy. They cabinets are lightweight which was a concern since these are installed on top of front load washer and dryer. The style gives them a look of real expensive custom cabinets. We have recommended these to friends who have seen our remodel and are impressed with the cabinets which are now the show pieces of the laundry area. These have transformed the space into a show place!
I bought this to go with the wall cabinet we selected for the newly remodeled bathroom. It is perfect!
I put it together without any help and it looks great!
I needed two cabinets for either side of my fireplace to store my book out of sight behind the closed doors for the neat appearance I desired in the room. I also wanted a place to display my animated Christmas decor. These fit the bill perfectly! They were shipped very quickly and only too us about a half hour to assemble. It was easy and the result looked like they were much more expensive than what we had paid. The quality appears quite high and they are sturdy pieces that did not use the usual wood glue to reinforce them. There was No smell- something I was concerned about before ordering and was a pleasant surprise! They look great and hold quite a bit for their size. The top also gives me substantial room for my Holiday decor. Could not be happier with the clean, crisp, and elegant appearance :)
Purchased this for a bathroom and it's great! Heavy enough not to get knocked over or accidentally pushed, and the material is good for a room that can get warm and humid (bathroom).
I didn't realize how difficult it was to find a nice, basic white floor cabinet. After two failed attempts (poor quality) I found this and LOVE it. It was simple to put together, sturdy, and the finish and molding looks very nice.
