This is my friend Randy's original character, Captain J Beautybeard. I drew this character for the Original Character Project we have on Drawing Meats.
You can follow this link and see everyone's rendition of Captain J Beautybeard.
I also posted this image to my deviantArt gallery.
I also wrote an article on Drawing Meats about how I put the illustration together.
As you can see Captain Beautybeard is something very different than my other artwrok. Nice for a change of pace.

Car crashes into two poles on 490 west
Posted at: 02/28/2013 8:26 AM
Early Thursday morning, a car crashed into two poles on 490 west in Gates, trapping the driver.
Deputies say around 1:30 a.m., the driver lost control of the car, went off 490 near Buffalo Road., hit a light pole and then hit a support pole for an overhead sign. Emergency crews had to take the roof off the car to get the driver out.
The driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital.

Date: May 10 2012
Wayward paceman Mitchell Johnson is back in Australia's one-day international squad, he's set to play in the Twenty20 World Cup and he's on the radar of Test selectors.
The forgotten 47-Test veteran's career appeared to be at the crossroads as Johnson sat out the home summer with a toe injury while youngsters like James Pattinson surged ahead of him.
However, Johnson was on Thursday named in the ODI squad to play one match against Ireland in Belfast and five games against England in June and July.
Young allrounder Steve Smith has also been recalled to Australia's 15-man ODI squad along with Pattinson, who is nursing a back injury, and fellow quick Pat Cummins, who has been battling a heel problem.
Australia's chairman of selectors John Inverarity also named Johnson in an Australia A squad of 17 led by Test opener Ed Cowan for two four-day games against the England Lions in August.
Left-armer Johnson, a former ICC international player of the year, has not played since suffering a tendon injury in his left big toe while batting in the Johannesburg Test last November.
"With Mitch ... he's very much in our sights for the ICC T20 World Cup (in September in Sri Lanka)," Inverarity said.
"We'll see how he goes in the nets and in the initial three matches before the ODI series and we've got plenty of back-up there."
Inverarity said Johnson, 30, was absolutely still in the frame for next year's Ashes tour.
"Mitchell Johnson is a fine cricketer with a very good record (190 wickets at 31.29) so we're hoping that he comes back," Inverarity said.
"I've seen Mitch bowling a couple of times in Perth recently. He's bowling very well.
"I've had a number of conversations with him and talking a lot about how he bowled in Perth in that Test match against England (taking 6/38 and 3/44 in 2010/11) and really stacking up his action and getting through and bowling line and length and swinging them in.
"He's had six or seven months to reflect on this and I think he's desperately keen to do that."
Johnson was reinvigorated after his six-month break, Inverarity enthused.
Inverarity said the fitness of Cummins, the 19-year-old speedster who claimed seven wickets on debut in South Africa in November, would be monitored throughout the ODI tour.
Cummins returned to competitive cricket for Australia's under-19s in a quadrangular series last month.
Spinner Nathan Lyon was overlooked for left-armer Xavier Doherty in the ODI squad, while Peter Forrest, Peter Nevill, Dan Christian and Mitchell Starc were also left out.
Former Test batsmen Usman Khawaja, Phil Hughes and Shaun Marsh were not included in the Australia A squad.
Victorian opener Rob Quiney, despite being Shield cricket's second-leading runscorer with 938 at 49.36, narrowly missed out on Australia A selection behind Western Australia's Liam Davis and South Australia's Michael Klinger.
Tasmanian wicketkeeper Tim Paine has also earned a call-up for Australia A after a long stint on the sidelines due to a finger injury.

Jacquelyn Martin / AP file
Lori Anne Madison, 6, of Lake Ridge, Va., walks through river water while playing with friends in a park in McLean, Va., on May 11.
Lori Anne Madison may be only 6 years old, but she's got a big talent: She's among the best spellers in the nation.
On Wednesday, the home-schooled girl from Lake Ridge, Va., who loves swimming, math and the outdoors, will compete with 277 other contestants -- many twice her age and size -- at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.
"It's been a busy day for everyone and I know her parents want her to get some rest and to be ready for the competition," Ria Schalnat, spokeswoman for the bee, told msnbc.com on Tuesday.
Schalnat said Lori Anne's parents have refused interviews until Thursday, "and that is dependent on whether she qualifies for the semifinals."
The annual spelling bee continues through Thursday. Preliminary competition starts at 8 a.m. ET Wednesday. The championship finals, slated for 8 p.m. ET Thursday, will be aired live on ESPN.
Lori Anne started making waves in March when she correctly spelled "vaquero" to win her regional bee in northern Virginia, according to the Washington Post.
"It was shocking," The Associated Press quoted Sorina Madison as saying. "I didn't expect all the media attention. We're private people. We're regular people. It was intimidating. But I'm happy for her. She loves it and she does it because it's a passion, and we never push her into anything and want her to make her own choices."
Take the test: Could you keep up with these kids?
Lori Anne says she wants to be an astrobiologist.
Why? She told the AP: "I'm going to sort of find life forms. And, plus, alien planets are new."

The public will have two opportunities today to meet Fayetteville's two police chief finalists.
The meetings are scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. at the Kiwanis Recreation Center, 352 Devers St.; and from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Westover Recreation Center, 267 Bonanza Drive.
City Manager Ted Voorhees, who will pick the next chief, announced the meetings last week to "invite residents to participate in the process."
The two candidates will be introduced and answer questions from the audience at both meetings.
One of the finalists is black, Voorhees has said. The city has never had a minority as police chief.
The former police chief, Tom Bergamine, retired, effective July 1. The acting police chief, Katherine Bryant, did not apply to have the job permanently. A total of 131 people applied, the city has said.

Stealing From Your Captain is Frowned Upon
AN ORANGE COUNTY (Calif.) FIRE AUTHORITY firefighter has been arrested on charges that he stole cash from his captain's wallet that was stored in a closet in the officer's bunk room. Surveillance video taken from a hidden camera placed by the Irvine Police Department showed the firefighter dipping into the captain's wallet and on one occasion even removing it from the room and then returning it.
Scene of the crime: Fire Station 38 – Irvine
The Orange County Register reports today:
Irvine Police detectives conducted surveillance in the case after the captain reported an "ongoing issue" of someone taking small denominations from his wallet over a period of one to one-and-a-half years. The incidents occurred when his wallet was in the closet of his non-shared bedroom at the station while he exercised, the captain said.
The suspect is Gregory Mark Konishi, 49, a Rancho Santa Margarita resident who has worked at Orange County Fire Authority for 25 years.
The District Attorney's office has received the case from Irvine Police but has not yet made a decision on whether to prosecute, spokeswoman Farrah Emami said Monday. She declined to comment further, citing department policy on cases without charges.
The arrest warrant was requested and issued Nov. 6 at Harbor Justice Center. Konishi was arrested Nov. 8 on suspicion of burglary. The bail amount stated in the records is $25,000, and Konishi is not listed as being in custody in the county jail's online database.
He remains on paid administrative leave pending the legal process as well as an internal investigation, Fire Authority spokesman Kris Concepcion said Monday. The internal investigation will take into account police and district Attorney's findings and decisions.
Captain Mark Ledford was provided with marked/recorded bills that were used to further implicate Konishi.

The apartment has 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms so it can feel crowded if all the rooms are filled. It is located close to downtown and there are plenty of restaurants around. The fridge was well stocked with juice, milk, eggs, butter, processed cheese, hot dogs so that you can make yourself a good breakfast. The apartment was clean and about 15 min away from the train station. Nicola has recommend a good pizzeria nearby and has given us good suggestions on things to visit.

Hi all, I have a system with an Intel D845GRG motherboard which has an "Audio subsystem for AC '97 processing using the Analog Devices AD1981A codec featuring SoundMAX Cadenza" Recently I managed to score a PCI sound card (from my mother-in-law's old computer) that has a label on the back that says it is from Creative Labs, model number: CT4740. Will this card provide any better performance/quality than the built-in one on my mother board? Some of my old games have a bit of a "stuttering" problem that I think might be caused by the built-in sound card. This card doesn't appear to have any connectors for connecting to the front audio ports, so would it be a correct assumption that if I used this card, the front audio ports would no longer be useable? Also, if I inserted this audio card, would I need to do any configuration of the MB to make the sound go through the PCI card, or is that something that would be available in the OS? I'm either going to use the card, or sell it on e-bay, so even if I'm not going to use it, I'd like to be able to connect it up to confirm that it works. Regards, Tan DJ
Normally I'd say that the PCI card would be slightly better because it would take some load off the CPU, but in this case I'd say stick to the AC'97. The Creative card looks like it is very old and I doubt Creative still offer driver support for it, so it probably wouldn't run as well as newer sound cards like the AC'97, because those drivers are still updated regularly. You could try connecting it and see if it sounds better, but I think the difference would be negligible so I would stick to the AC'97.
You can measure the performance of both, onboard and PCI with RightMark Audio Analyzer. http://audio.rightmark.org/index_new.shtml But I´d also say got with the AC´97 in this case. The CT4740 doesn´t feature EAX which offers a real improvement for in-game sound.
EAX is over rated, and the 4740/47xx are just sblive variants, nothing fancy, ur ac97 will probbly gave the same or better perf with the advantage of having newer driver support. i would also advise that you search the forums b4 you ask these kinda questions, the onboard vs pci/addin card sound things been talked about like 15+times since i been here!!!!
Theres a little performance loss, maybe 5%. What´s more important is the audio quality. It´s signifantly worse than even average old sound cards. Earphone output is distorted at high output levels and when there should be silence, theres a little noise instead. This board cant handle many irq too well, therefor it would be best to turn off the onboard sound in the bios. And no, theres no connection to the front connectors. If you are using anything newer than win98 with this mobo, the stuttering will most likely come from irqs conflicts. In others words, you may want to buy a new mainboard.
my 1988 soundmax is working great after some driver tweaking thanks to KET, no quility issues at all, and perfs better then the 3 addin cards i tested(old cmi8738,audigy3,sblive5.1) ur best bet with onboard sound is ALWASE to update the drivers to the newest you can find for that chip, even if they are from another board maker(like asus or intel) also i would update ur bios if you havent, thats alwase a good idea, if you get problems with audio quility set the pci latancy to 64 if you can, sometimes boards, specly older intel ones need that done for their onboard audio.
LOL!!! I tried my friend's PC with the Fatal1ty FPS Sound card installed. I could hear a guy throwing a medkit IN THE COMPLETELY CORRECT POSITION WITH TWO CRAPPY SPEAKERS, it was real... I thought I was in 2142 (yay for snowboarding)! There wasn't any stuttering before any major sound events occured.
The only major bonus I'd see in running a CT4740 or equivalent would be for older games. The Vibra128Ds I've owned have always been pretty good for DOS support, critical if you want to play something like Duke Nukem 3D or Death Rally with proper SB16 support. I wouldn't agree totally with the performance arguments... I only just gave up my poor old 845D based system with that very same AC97 setup. There's no way that horrible contrivance is better than the Ensoniq AudioPCI/SoundBlaster 128/ViBRA128D. I only used the AC97 for three weeks until I picked up an original Live with the matching Cambridge SoundWorks FPS1000 speakers. Faaaar better
XFI should be fairly decent for the fact they can support 2-3 times more voices than the average sound card.
ah but the human ear and brain cant prosess that many, voices, read up and you will know that creative just uses that to sell cards to uneducated foolz who buy things because of a brand name not because they are really better. if you want a high end audio card grab something from auzentech, there cards are far and above the winners when compared with anything creative offers!!!!! and they update drivers regularly for those cards/chips where creative takes years to upgrade anything.........
Yeah, I did that, but couldn't find anything about the ct4740. I already knew that in general the PCI card will be better than the onboard, but I was having trouble finding out anything about the ct4740. My problem with my existing system is several of my games have a bad occasional stutter, one game (theme park world) the game freezes while it is stuttering, and does nothing until the stuttering stops. Another, one of the kics games, the stuttering stops when you click the mouse button. A couple of other games that the kids like to play don't stutter, but every voice clip has the last half a sylable of each sentence missing. I'm not real concerned about the sound quality at the moment as my speakers are not the best - $20 ones from Tandy. The only reason I was considering the ct4740, was that I got it for nothing. Cheers, Tan DJ
i would advise a card based on the CMI8768 chipset then, drivers are better then that old sbive card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829130002 its 19bucks drivers can be found (up to date ones) on the cmedia forums, they are updating them regularly, these cards also support DTS and DolbyDigital in hardware!!!! good stuff!!!!! and kills the 4740/4760 cards
Go for it. The old SoundBlaster128s might not have new drivers, but it's because they're GOOD SOLID CARDS. They don't NEED new drivers. Just throw it in and go nuts, it'll cause no problems.
Dedicated sound means the CPU can be free to do other tasks, Onboard sound will use CPU a lot, and slow down your games and pc, gl,
its very minimal. most benches say ac'97 vs the xfi only gave the xfi and advantage at most 2-4fps...now is it worth speeding 150+ smackers for the increase? I would say no, use the money on upgrading you gcard or get some more memory.
no the reasion they lack new drivers is that creative dosnt want to support them they want to support/sell newer cards that make them more profit. also creative driver support has alwase sucked, and sucked hard core to!!
Although it is true that dedicated sound often reduces the load on the CPU it doesn't use a lot of CPU relative to what the games are using once you consider the performance gain you'll see. For a similar price to something like an X-Fi most people could buy a better CPU which would improve overall performance a lot more.
truth is anymore with HD audio onboard most people are far better off using onboard sound with the latest drivers and use the $ they would have spend on a sound card to get a better cpu and more ram. if in the case of this system you need addin sound then go sith a CMI8768 (or better) chip based soundcard, driver support stomps creative and via into dust!!!! even then if you go with an auzentech card you could still afford a better cpu or more ram because even their cheapest card(58bucks) is better then x-fi
You are clearly retarded if you think C-Media soundcards are superior. The CMIs are a $10 OEM piece of crap for a reason... they're a piece of crap. There's no way, NO way those incompatible piles of incompatible junk can usurp a Creative. They use ugly software 3D, have damn near no compatibility mode, and are just a plain ugly device... which is why they're so cheap. The drivers are updated often for C-Media cards because they're poorly coded from the start. It's like patches on EA games. The older model Creative he has (which is fully supported I might add - all the drivers AND SoundBanks are available still) is a considerably better card that will be considerably more stable than any AC97 or C-Media crap you could dredge up. Given I use the onboard on my new motherboard (ASUS P5B Deluxe... so it's 8-channel HD somethin), but it won't be staying that way - NONE of the cheap crap does EAX. Most games use EAX. See the problem here?
read some reviews of auzentech audio cards, cmedia use to have problems but since they steped their driver support up(via forums) they have started to really shine!!!!! and c-media updates them by request to try and work out spicific problems, creative ignores problems and blames the game maker, read their forums, if you think creatives drivers are great, you're wrong! adi on asus boards fully supports eax2.0, any higher is not allowed by creative, they wont licence it out to anybody, its their only way to make people buy their x-fi cards.... try these http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/sound/Auzentech_X-Plosion_1.html or the sub 60$ XMystique (cmi8768+ based) http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=articles&go=read&arc_id=29 im gonna give ya a bit more on the Xplosion card, its the newest mid range card(there top end is for audio files and pros only, 200+bucks) http://www.thinkcomputers.org/index.php?x=reviews&id=376&page=4 http://www.rage3d.com/reviews/sound/auzentechxplosion/index.php?p=7 note that the mentioned bug with stay alive was fixed with a driver update(and x-mystic can be fixed by using c-media drivers dirrectly from the CMI website insted of auzentechs) http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/hda_xplosion/page_3.shtml seems they all dissagree with you, as has ever review of the auzentech/bluegears sound cards i have found to date, i think your living back in 1997/1998 or something!!!! as to creative driver support, it sucks, they NEVER fix anything in a timely fassion, they ignore bug reports, and this after they charge you thru the arse for their cards. truth is that cmedia's current lineup is killing creatives for the avrage user, its all about the support you get, and cmedia/auzentech give you GREAT support, if you find a driver bug, post it, you will get a responce witin a few days from their driver team, oh yeah, and they are making new drivers for even their disscontinued chips like the 8738, full vista support!!!! creative will get you drivers when they feel like it, if they feel like it, and if they dont work properly, well thats your problem!!!!!!
I just check it out and they have nothing but complaints and few drivers that are dated about 3-4 months now. But they do have some recent vista "beta" drivers...but dated 3 months ago?? http://www.cmedia.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=6&sid=45648dd973822c712cd576a467199c14 C-media is telling most of the posters ... "C-Media is a chip/solution vendor, not a consumer product company. C-Media did not produce, market, or sell you your sound card as a finished product. If you want to seek compensation, you should find out who manufactured your sound cards and contact them." and most of the thread have 0 replies...hmmm. WHY NOT! EAX is the product of creative, therefore the have all rights to hold there "property to themselves" If you cant beat them, join them...if you cant join them, die!!!! ^^pretty sad but true^^^ Not to bash on c-media or you, i am personally ALL up on anything that is better and cheaper, but really i dont see much out of c-media... i would fork over 40 bucks and get a refurbished audigy 2 zs from creative's ebay store, than fork over 20 bucks on a cmedia card. http://cgi.ebay.com/Creative-Sound-...QtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem?hash=item170067487190 with audigy2 zs's eax4.0 and all, i would say its the best sound card to support quality for 95% of games out there...
Do x-fi's actually do dolby live and dts? as ive got a dd/dts receiver (yamaha too) and am still using my old nforce2's soundstorm for its dolby digital live, and would really like to use my newer pc through the receiver instead(my current mobo hasnt even got spdif, but i did try my mates a8nsli dlx a while back, and its spdif didnt do either format) If not i'll get one of them auzentech's instead, seen a few good write ups on them now

I can't wait to see what Engaged Chicken thinks of all this
What I think is that two ode people, one in their forties, one their fifties have no business taking pictures of themselves like two thirteen year olds. For starters.
I also think that he should have shaved, that grey stubble with his black wig looks ridiculous.
And she's a little long in the tooth for a barrette.
They have dinner at 5pm, Beth goes out at 8pm...
Love how Beth always goes into her rehearsed fake pose, the one where she stares at Howard "with love in her eyes", every tme they are in a picture together.
She's not just going to dinner..She's going to "work". I'm sure she's plenty miserable.. He pays for the GF experience....it's gotta get old.

MIKE Subgroup meeting
1 August 2002
In attendance
Dr Pieter Botha (Chairman, South Africa), Dr Pauline Lindeque (Namibia), Ms Nina Marshall (Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund), Dr Malan Lindeque (CITES Secretariat), Mr Tom de Meulenaer (CITES Secretariat), Mr Nigel Hunter (MIKE Director).
Apologies: Dr Richard Ruggiero (United States of America), Mr Frank Jacobs (European Commission), Dr Jim Armstrong (CITES Secretariat).
As with the previous teleconference, attendance was low. As before, the Chairman suggested that the meeting should go ahead, as the minutes would serve as a useful progress report to the other members.
The agenda sent out by the Secretariat was agreed with no amendments.
Minutes of the previous teleconference
The minutes of the meeting held on 28 March 2002 were approved as an accurate record.
Matters arising
- Technical Advisory Group (TAG) membership
The Director reported that he had been successful in establishing contact with the Southeast Asia member, but was still unable to get any response from the southern Asia member. Given that the appointment of TAG members was at the discretion of the MIKE Subgroup, the Director requested that he be allowed to look for other suitable candidates from the southern Asia sub-region and put these to the MIKE Subgroup for consideration and appointment. This was agreed.
- MIKE/NGO open day (29 May 2002)
The Director felt that the meeting had been productive and a communiqué presenting the questions, answers and comments would be available on the CITES website under "Recent events" in the MIKE section.
Progress report (technical)
The Director provided a progress report as of July 2002 regarding the 11 activities contained in the work plan.
- Establishment of the MIKE Central Coordinating Unit (CCU)
Further to the previous minutes, the Director confirmed that the Financial Manager was appointed with effect from 6 May and that he was already proving very effective.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) had recently agreed to recommend a grant that would strengthen the data analysis development and the data management training capacity of the CCU. The recruitment of the Data Management Officer would therefore now be actively pursued.
- Setting up in range States
The country programmes are now very nearly finalised and monitoring activities are underway in all sub-regions. This process was helped during the last quarter by having the Central African training workshop and holding a southern African Steering Committee meeting to consolidate and update MIKE activities there with the more recent progress elsewhere. For West Africa, it was reported that Nigeria had not been involved, since no communication seemed to get through by any means. However a recent visit by the Support Officers suggests Nigeria will now become fully engaged. Senegal was delayed by a time lag in appointing the Site Officer to replace the one transferred and visits to Liberia by the Support Officers had twice been postponed due to security issues. The visit was now scheduled for September.
- Establishment of sub-regional Support Officers
This activity had been achieved and no longer needed reporting on.
- Establishment of MIKE in range States
This activity is very nearly completed, with the Sub-regional Support Officers (SSO) now concluding the work on bringing the site teams into the process, through their site visits. Sierra Leone had not been visited yet by the Support Officers owing to the work involved in the three other countries in West Africa (as indicated under paragraph 2 above).
- Establishment of protocols and analysis systems
The process of harmonizing existing forms with MIKE needs is now virtually completed. In East Africa, it is only Tanzania where this still needs some action, but this is in the SSO's work plan to resolve in the next month.
The report provided in the last quarter remains valid, i.e. there is a strong possibility that an EC project specifically supporting research and development on the Cybertracker, will assist this particular activity but project details and European Commission (EC) confirmation are awaited, especially as to when this support may become available. However it has since become apparent that Cybertracker is not the only one on the market. It is therefore still intended to have a small workshop to consider the merits of Cybertracker and the alternatives during the latter half of 2002.
Work on the data analysis system continues and discussion of progress was undertaken at the May TAG meeting and reflected in the TAG minutes. Some concern was expressed that the support team was not progressing to actually suggesting solutions to the issues involved. A target has been agreed, whereby the Director needs to demonstrate at the MIKE regional meeting in September that a data analytical system is underway, even if it then needs further attributes added on after that deadline.
As of now, the basic structure, tables and relationships of the site-level database have been developed in harmony with the data collection forms and planned analysis. A first draft of the user menu and illustration of data entry forms has been developed. Data entry forms that mimic field forms are now being designed and should be ready by the end of August. The appropriate queries to generate the monthly and annual reports and the reports themselves are under development. Database outputs will include tabular summaries of protection effort and results of patrolling and an illustration of a 'catch/effort' analysis that provides indicators of illegal activities both in space and time.
The development of the database receives user-feedback from the Namibian MIKE team in its initial stages of development. It will be further evaluated by users from the other regions during the first year of its use, starting this year. This feedback will help improve the design and interaction with the user.
- Capacity building
As reported on previously, careful consideration of the training to be provided has led to a process whereby the priority has been to get the LEM underway, followed fairly soon by the data management training. The population survey training will then take place as the final stage over a longer time-frame, but this will not delay the population survey programme, which will initially rely on greater external support.
The first round of sub-regional LEM training has been completed. Further training is being provided by the SSOs site visits. This is now an ongoing activity and will continue as a facilitating and updating process. The pre-MIKE existing forms are now or are close to being adapted to take on board MIKE LEM needs.
Procurement of the GPSs is complete. What has become apparent is that the original plan of two per site now looks to be insufficient, because GPSs have become an every day tool. It would help to increase the ratio to five per site and this is being looked into to see what possibilities exist.
The procurement of the computers has also progressed. IBM were awarded the tender and 85 computer systems have been delivered to the MIKE consultant based in the United-States. They are being tested by him and will then be shipped to Africa. The original target of trying to deliver the computers to each site by end of June has slipped owing to delays from the suppliers in responding adequately to the tender. The new target is to have the computers delivered to the sites in August.
USFWS have kindly agreed to recommend providing further support to the data management development and training under their African Elephant Conservation Fund
Discussions with the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) regarding ArcView [the Geographic Information System (GIS) software] were successful and there is an agreement in place whereby ESRI will provide ArcView 8.1 to all sites at approximately 10 per cent of the commercial price. Owing to the 11 September tragedy, the United States now applies stricter export regulations, which affect goods such as GIS software. This is causing some delays in getting the software to the computers as, again, it makes sense to have the GIS installed before the computers leave the United States.
- Surveys
The availability of digitized maps has now been tabulated for each site. There is better coverage than anticipated.
A clear way forward for determining the site boundaries for the Central African forest areas has been detailed in the proposal submitted to USFWS and WWF International for further funding support.
Law Enforcement Monitoring (LEM) activities are now ongoing at all sites and data is beginning to be provided in all Sub-regions. As of July 2002, then some 75 per cent of the sites are producing or have started to produce data. By September this percentage could have risen to around 90 per cent. The Director advised that these figures should not be interpreted as meaning that the data have reached an acceptable quality level as yet.
For the forest population survey programme, funds have been recommended from USFWS and are being actively considered by WWF International to cover seven Forest sites in Central Africa during 2003. The three pilot sites have population surveys from 2001. In West Africa, all five forest sites will have population estimates by 2003, subject to a request to the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) for moving funds from the equipment budget line being approved.
- Information
Progress in regard to this activity is linked to the reports provided under activities 5 and 6. It has taken longer than anticipated to procure the computers, but by the end of the next quarter, it should be possible for each site to start inputting data. Discussions at the recent TAG meeting revealed the complexity of having a practical data analytical system relevant to all 55 sites. Considerable emphasis is now being put on getting an analytical system positioned in the computers by the end of the coming quarter that allows site officers to input data and produce some straightforward analysis. Further analysis requirements can then be built in, as they become available.
The information provided for CoP12 will therefore be related to confirming the progress achieved in collecting data and analysing them. There will not be any information revealing trends or pattern relationships, simply because the time frame will be too short for such information to be available in relation to the great majority of the 29 range States.
- Implementation monitoring
Further to the last quarter progress report, it has now been agreed to go ahead with a full MIKE regional meeting and this is scheduled for 10-11 September 2002 in Nairobi.
- Matching funds
This is reported on under the financial progress report (see below).
- Formal reporting
This activity is ongoing.
Progress report (financial)
The Director provided a progress report, as of July 2002, in regard to EC matching funds, Asia and long-term funding.
- EC matching funds
The Director reported that further to the progress provided in the last quarter, it could now be confirmed that as of the end of June, the EC matching-fund requirement had been exceeded by a reasonable margin, thanks to further contributions from the USFWS African Elephant Conservation Fund (AfECF), Botswana and from ESRI.
- Asia
The Director reported that in response to the visits undertaken to the United States by the Deputy Secretary-General and himself, the USFWS Asian Elephant Conservation Fund was recommending a grant to start the implementation of MIKE in Southeast Asia. A key requirement of USFWS however was the need to ensure that the range States were committed to the programme and this will be the major activity over the next few months. In addition, following a request from MIKE, CEPF was considering providing funds to assist possible sites in the Sumatra forest ecosystem. Lastly the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) had agreed to collaborate with the MIKE programme and facilitate the implementation in Southeast Asia.
- Long-term funding
Further to the progress provided in the previous minutes, the Director reported that subsequent follow up had confirmed EC's strong support to MIKE and an indication that they were exploring which might be the most appropriate channel for further funding of a main implementation programme. The latest feedback is that they have made progress and the Director is requested to get in touch with the EC in mid August.
MIKE meeting
The Director confirmed that the MIKE regional meeting scheduled for 10-11 September was well advanced in terms of planning and organization. Invitations had gone out to all MIKE African range States and to 11 Asian range States. A provisional agenda has also been sent out. The draft progress report on MIKE for CoP12 was also nearing completion.
MIKE teleconferences
During the course of the meeting, as the telephone link to Kenya started to disrupt the Directors' reporting, the Chairman requested that the Director formulate his report in the form of the minutes, send these out to all Subgroup members and invite their questions, should they have any. This would at least overcome the immediate telephone problem as well as the low numbers participating in the teleconference.
This then led to some discussion of what might be the future medium for MIKE Subgroup conferences, given that the last two had such low attendance. It was agreed that the teleconference medium was the most desirable option, because it allowed the members to hear what questions were being asked and to participate in any discussion. Given this preference, the Secretariat offered to contact each member in order to try and discover what difficulties were being encountered in participating in teleconferences.
An alternative option was for the Director to prepare a written report, using the minutes template as a model, based on his quarterly reports submitted to the Secretariat. Members of the Subgroup should then be invited to submit their questions and comments. However it would be important to arrange an email discussion group, so that members could see the questions and responses and make their own contributions. With this option, it was also agreed that it was very important to have a strict time limit, in order to allow the Director to get on with overseeing MIKE implementation.
It was concluded that the Chairman, the Secretariat and the Director should liaise and come up with some workable solution to this issue.
The Chairman concluded the meeting by thanking participants for their useful and helpful contributions and thanked the Director and his staff for their efforts in getting MIKE up and running.

Good evening I'm Bret -- the countdown clock to the election continues to roll backward one day at a time.
While the federal deficit continues to surge out of control on pace to hit one point one trillion dollars this fiscal year.
That poses a major survival issue for president coming up for reelection in less than eleven weeks.
Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry reports.
It has President Obama made his case in another key battleground the fact is -- everything.
I've done has been focused on how we rebuild.
That's strong middle class back in Washington a much harsher verdict about the fiscal mess the Congressional Budget Office projecting a president who vowed to cut the deficit in half.
We'll now see it exceed a trillion dollars for the fourth straight year we don't know.
How long this can go one for -- -- leaders in both parties failed to stop massive tax increases and automatic spending cuts coming at the end of the year.
There will be short term deficit relief.
But he could spark another recession if allowed to occur those sharp reductions in taxes.
And -- productions in federal spending and soaring increases in taxes will lead to a dramatic reduction in the federal deficit.
Trimming it by almost 500 billion dollars next year.
That would be a significant tightening.
A fiscal policy.
Would probably lead to a reception early next year.
While the president said nothing about the report his aides jumped on it to point out the so called fiscal cliff could be avoided.
If house Republicans joined Democrats in extending the current bush tax rates for the middle class saying quote.
They're willing to hold the middle class hostage in -- we also give massive new tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires tax cuts we can't afford.
Republican Mitt Romney wants all of the bush tax rates extended it charged quote today's CBO report is another indictment of president Obama's economic policies.
That it resulted in overspending increasing debt.
-- a growing financial burden of the next generation just one day after Vice President Biden declared the middle class is coming back.
They have been ravaged.
They have been wrapped.
But -- started to come back.
We've helped them keep their homes.
And -- health care talk of a comeback maybe dampened by the Federal Reserve.
Newly released minutes from their recent meeting show many fed officials believe action will be needed quote.
Fairly soon -- -- incoming information pointed to a substantial and sustainable strengthening in the pace of the economic recovery.
-- CBO also stressed that if congress can get a debt deal a big if we'd avoid a recession but still be on the verge of a fiscal crisis right now.
Debt is headed for 90%.
Of GDP by 20/20 two fret Ed Henry traveling with the president in Las Vegas and thank you rip.

Fresh Memory flash card software
When memorizing facts, learning, storing, and processing internalizes the subject matter. The Fresh Memory program offers various methods to help you anchor the facts in your memory.
In some situations, it's what you know that counts. Although "learning how to learn" has merit, knowing the right way to search for chemical elements on Google is of little use if you don't have local Internet access. The solution? Learning something by heart.
Modern educators might not prefer this method, but students rely on it nonetheless. To learn something by heart, you either need to read the facts repeatedly (drill and practice) or use a card file to help you memorize (spaced repetition). Fresh Memory offers both variants with the aid of virtual flash cards.

Resistance bands are an excellent addition to any home fitness program. You can build serious strength and burn calories with this entire set of bands. You get 10 bands and 3 pairs of handles to ensure all of your resistance training needs are covered!
From a 5lb band to our most heavy-duty 50lb band, you will have the right resistance for every move!
Why use resistance bands?
Resistance bands offer many benefits that free weights and home gyms do not.
Resistance Bands are portable! You can't lug your gym or your collection of weights on vacation, nor can you pack them up and take them on a business trip. If your lifestyle includes frequent traveling, resistance bands are the perfect choice!
Resistance Bands offer equal exertion! Coordination is a must with resistance bands. Because they require equal exertion from one side to the other and while providing tension from the beginning of a move to completion, resistance bands ensure you are working both sides equally and that you are working the maximum amount of muscles with each move.
Resistance Bands are versatile! There are a multitude of movements you can do in your strength-training workout with resistance bands. By slightly changing the angle of your body or the bend in your arm, you are working an entirely new group of muscles, further guaranteeing that every movement is working towards the same goal: a stronger and fitter you!

HAHAHA i love being blue so much at the moment COYB!!!!!!!!
Surely Hibbert is fit by now, he's had over two weeks since West Brom.
We all know that that Neville will be in midfield, it is inevitable.

You smoking crack? lol
zagan said:but that's what Felli is for...... to do the extra defensive work.
Granted, Osman is not that good for getting back, but he is a hell of a lot more creative in midfield than Johnny.Throw Johnny and Felli in the middle and we may as well be playing 6 defenders.....
NSNO said:i think Moyes will leave him on the bench to be honest....we weren't great against West Brom, but think he'll mainly stick with that team (with sadly Neville replacing Gibson in midfield, and Hibbert if fit playing right back)

Shoes pile up at court as reminder of victims
Tom Zytaruk, Now
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012Victims who've lost family members to drunk drivers plan to line up 1,074 pairs of shoes outside the Surrey provincial courthouse to remind people of the damage drunk driving does.
"Right before Christmas, I hope it'll have a impact," said Victor Kaulius, whose daughter Kassandra was killed by a drunk driver in Surrey in 2011. Families who've lost a loved one will be standing among the shoes, holding a picture of the person killed.
A victims' rights group called Families for Justice will put out the shoes, which have been donated by the public and various department stores, on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Each pair of shoes will represent one of the 1,074 people killed by impaired drivers in Canada last year.
Markita Kaulius, Kassandra's mom, said the group wants to remind people to make "the right choice" about drinking and driving as Christmas parties and socials draw near.
"Everyone deserves the right to get home safely to their family and loved ones," she said.
"We have lost too many people in Canada. Each pair of shoes represents a loss of a life - which should still exist, as every one of these deaths was preventable. We hope that people will see how serious this crime really is."
The woman who pleaded guilty to drinking and driving in connection with Kassandra's death will be sentenced in mid-December. Markita Kaulius noted that more than 63,000 people were injured in 2011 in Canada as a result of impaired driving. Families for Justice has to date collected more than 16,000 signatures on a petition that calls on the federal government to make tougher laws against drunk driving, and the courts to deliver stiffer sentences.
"Currently we have seen very light sentences of six months house arrest or $2,000 fines," Kaulius noted, "to less than two years in jail for taking a life."

Rene, Georgia, and Seth talk iPhone 5 event on the horizon, which iPhone we're getting on what carrier, ringbacks, iCloud beta getting wiped, and Netflix (and Qwikster) losing their minds. This is iPhone Live!
More →
Reed Hastings, the co-founder and CEO of Netflix has put up a video and blog post this morning apologizing to customers for the way their recent plan changes and increases were handled, and announcing that while streaming services will retain the Netflix name, the DVD (and now video game) mailer service will be spun off as Qwickster. Phew. This only really matters to US customers, and to those who in addition to streaming on iPhone, Apple TV, iPad, and iPod touch also have DVD mailer plans, but it's an interesting case study in corporate communications none-the-less.
It seems like September 1 not only saw Netflix's new, controversial price plans go into effect, but it also saw them begin to enforce their "one movie stream at a time" policy, which means you can no longer have one video going on your iPhone and another on your iPad or Apple TV. Stop the Cap! breaks down your choices moving forward.
Georgia, Seth, and Rene talk Apple's new Learn commercial, competitors still struggling, Amazon's rumored Android Kindle tablet, iOS 5 beta 7, Eddy Cue, Netflix without Starz, Facebook for iPad, and more. This is iPad Live!
Netflix couldn't come to a deal to keep Starz content on their service, so they'll be losing it next February, but it turns out Starz wanted more than just Netflix's money to stay -- they wanted more of our money too:
iTunes Replay is the rumored name of the rumored Apple subscription video streaming service rumored to compete with the likes of Netflix. Apple Insider reported on the rumors a while back, and now App Advice hears it might be coming soon.
Netflix released a tiny update, ostensibly to add compatibility for the recent iOS 4.3.4 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (and iOS 4.2.9 for Verizon iPhone) firmwares, yet it seems to have addressed a huge pain point for developers as well -- compatibility with iOS 5.
So if you've been suffering without your Netflix fix, head on over to the App Store and tap the update button.
[Free - iTunes Store link]
Two sources familiar with the auction are reporting to Bloomberg that Apple is considering a bid to purchase the Hulu service. This isn't too hard to believe considering Apple has $76.2 billion in cash and securities.
Hulu is already a competitor to Netflix but if Apple does make an offer, this may give Netflix an even larger run for its money. Especially after Netflix's recent pricing change that recently angered a lot of its customers.
When asked, neither a Hulu or Apple representative would comment. If Apple does acquire the service, it would be interesting to see how that would affect the Netflix streaming currently offered natively for AppleTV users.
If you're in the US and you subscribe to Netflix, we'd like to know how you feel about the new pricing they announced yesterday? If you're only into streaming, not much has changed. If you want unlimited DVDs as well, however, you need to cough up an extra $6 a month.
Maybe DVDs are a relic to you, or a bag of hurt, and you haven't watched optical media in years. Or maybe, since Hollywood still can't get their digital release act together, they're a beloved part of your home theater experience.

Part II: The Will
By FPA member Tim Sobolewski, CFP®
Last Updated: June 27, 2011
Although there are many complex estate planning strategies, it is often the simplest items that are overlooked. This week we will begin to discuss some of those items: the basic estate planning documents.
The Will. First of all, what happens if you die without a will, or "intestate"? State "intestacy" laws would apply. These laws may not distribute your estate as you would have wished, but rather according to a formula devised by state legislators. All property that would not pass by rule of law or named beneficiary (which we will cover in a later week) passes by law of intestate succession — the terms of which vary by state, but all depend on marital status and degrees of blood relation. You could also be partially intestate if there is a valid will, but it doesn't include all property.
Most people would assume that all of their estate would automatically go to their surviving spouse — and it's possible that a spouse may in fact need all of the estate's assets — but in fact a significant portion may go to estranged, ungrateful or imprisoned children. It is then impossible to persuade the court to do otherwise; it must distribute assets strictly according to the law, in the absence of any declared wishes on the part of the deceased — in other words, a will!
Other problems can arise from intestacy, such as the failure of a single parent to name a guardian for their minor children. Wouldn't you like to decide who gets to raise your children, rather than let the court do it? The court may decide that your hard-working, drug-addicted sister is a better choice than your good-hearted, but unemployed, brother.
There may also be no way to get money to a favorite sibling, niece or charity without a will. Obviously, it's preferable to have your assets go to whom you choose, rather than to whomever the state has chosen for you.
The state, however, is not totally heartless. All states set aside a family allowance for the care of a surviving spouse and minor children while the estate is being settled. Most states also allow a homestead allowance to protect real and/or personal property from unsecured creditors. This allowance varies widely. It could be $100,000 that's protected in Montana, for example, but only $5,000 in Ohio. However, note that your residence is not protected from secured creditors — for example, the bank that holds your mortgage.
Although many assets can and do pass outside of the will, you should not understate the importance of having a will. While it's possible to 'do-it-yourself' with online help and prepackaged software, it is inexpensive — and advisable — to have an attorney prepare one, since it's often viewed as a loss-leader for obtaining a new client (and an eventual estate).
What does a will need to include to be valid? First of all, only about a third of all states recognize a handwritten, or holographic, will as valid. Secondly, although oral wills ("deathbed declarations," or nuncupative wills) may work in movies, fewer than half the states allow them.
Generally, a valid will must include: a signature, a date, a statement of legal capacity to make a will, witnesses (preferably not someone with an interest in the estate), and typically a named executor (whose job it is to carry out the terms of the will, pay any debts and taxes due, etc.). A will may also include various kinds of testamentary trusts, which take effect and are irrevocable at death.
The probate process is the proving and execution of a will under the supervision of a court. Although there can certainly be delays, the process is not usually as difficult, costly or time-consuming as it is sometimes made out to be. It is basically an orderly way of making sure that your debts and obligations are settled, your assets are transferred, and your wishes are fulfilled.
Pros and cons of probate
There are many advantages to probate: The will is validated ("proven"), and an inventory and valuation are made of the estate's assets and liabilities. Real property title is proven as well. There is a legal process for settling disputes, as well as providing for minor children and others with special needs. The actions of the executor or administrator are supervised by the court, including the handling of creditors.
On the other hand, the public nature of the process means that all of the above issues — property disputes, creditors' claims and family — are public knowledge. The process can sometimes be lengthy and costly, depending on many factors. If court supervision of guardianship is required, for example, there can be a great deal of added expense, along with a lack of flexibility. Property in other states or countries could be subject to ancillary probate, adding to the time and expense required.
However, the expense and duration of probate can be reduced with proper estate planning — including choosing your financial planner, attorney and executor wisely.

You really can have it all. Take our bike mount on your next ride and you'll be enjoying your favorite apps, music and navigation with ease. With a dual retention lock system that encompasses both our magnet kit and RokLock mounting technology, you can be assured your device is safe. And just in case that's not enough, a removable wrist lanyard adds a 3rd layer of protection.
Designed, engineered and made in the USA.
I have had the V3 case for both the 4 and 5 for a while and the bike mount as soon as it was available. I confess I do not use the leash risking the iPhone but it only came off once when I was coming down Rock-it and I discovered I had the magnet reversed... oops. But there was no damage to the phone being fully protected by the V3 case. I use Cyclemeter to record my rides and can access the screen easily. The mount will tilt up and you can shoot some credible video from your stem. Best quality and function I have found... and I looked hard for cheaper options. In this case... You definitely get what you pay for.

I recently purchased an iphone5 "Limited Edition" case (white and gray/gunmetal) and really love it. When I saw the bike mount, I knew it was a "must" for my mountain/road bike. My bike a Giant "29er" and is white with red and black accents. There are red aluminum accents at the gooseneck and wheel hubs. So, I was thrilled when I saw that the Rokform Bike Mount was available in a Limited Edition "red" aluminum! Matches my bike perfectly! I really scored with the "Limited Edition" line on the site! Okay, enough about "cool, good looks!" The Bike Mount is also top quality in craftsmanship and materials and designed to safely hold the phone. I am really careful with my iphone, (it's my first!) but I am totally confident that my phone will remain safe and protected on my rides! I ordered the mount on Monday and it arrived the next morning! Granted, I live just down the coast from Rokform, but that was fast shipping! Thank you Rokform for being environmentally friendly, for making such great products and for being such an awesome company! Michael

I love it!!!

I have been using this bike mount for about 4 months now and it's so easy and simple I wish I would have thought of it. First off it installs in about 3 minutes because its just one bolt and you are done. I spent more time opening the box then installing the kit. My phone is safe and secure when I ride and I can now read text messages and use my Strava ap without having to reach into my jersey pocket. I love the case too, it's protective and very unique. People ask about my mount just about every time I ride. The high quality CNC machined aluminum construction of the mount matches the quality of components on my $5,000 road bike unlike other plastic "claw" type mounts that would be better suited for the Huffy I had when I was a kid ;-) I highly recommend this mount!

I recently bought the V3 Bike Mount Kit and love it! Very easy to install and have gotten a lot of compliments from other riders! Would love a Rokform armband for running/working out! Great products!

I'd love to get one up and running, though I'm well aware that they're fairly common and tend to be considered cliche by a lot of role-players. I can't promise anything super original, but I'd love to put a heavy focus upon character interaction, development and gritty realism. A zombie apocalypse wouldn't be a fun experience - a lot of the people who proclaim that they'd be able to hack and slash their way through hoards of zombies would probably meet a grisly end. Some people would simply snap after seeing their loved ones torn apart in front of them. It's pretty gruesome, though firm friendships are often forged in times of strife and that could easily add a deliciously complex element to some long term role-play. I also like to include a lot of intrigue and above all else realistic characters. Ideally I'd like to see a decent range of characters from a variety of different backgrounds. As tempting as it may be to role-play a smoking hot twenty something I think it'd be a lot more compelling to have at least one character be a kindly yet frail elderly woman. It'd be a pretty nifty twist on the usual 'frail hot and naive young woman' that tends to crop up in the survival horror genre!
Now, don't let my low post count put you off. I may be new to the site but I'm not new to role-play. I'm mostly seeking intermediate and experienced role-players for this, though above all else I want my partners to be reliable and literate. I also want the pacing to be reasonable with a healthy mix of action, suspense and periods of relative peace. Most importantly, though, I want people who are capable of taking the initiative and working their own intricate side-stories into the mix. My own character isn't necessarily going to be the leader of the group of survivors - I'd rather leave decisions like that to happen naturally within role-play itself. I'd also like there to be varying degrees of toughness and experience with weaponry. Again, I'll go back to gritty realism: most people don't know how to wield a weapon effectively. If pushed to defend themselves they'd likely improvise and try to pick up experience as swiftly as possible. That's a theme I'll certainly be exploring with my own character.
In terms of the story surrounding the outbreak I'm toying with the idea of an experiment into age reversal going horribly wrong and leading to the creation of a disease that causes the infected to begin to rot and rapidly degenerate into a shambling husk focused solely on feasting on the flesh of the living. Anyone who is bitten would be infected, usually turning within a period of six hours. The most effective way to kill the undead would be decapitation, destroying the brain or setting them on fire. They'd be pretty slow but very dangerous in a group. To add an extra twist to the situation a lot of activists pushed to try and expose the dangers of the experiments into age reversal but were swiftly silenced by the government, mainstream media and large corporations - the same giants that backed the controversial experiments in the first place. The disease will have spread quite rapidly, causing panic and devastation worldwide. Survivors are typically few and far between or locked away in paranoid communities reluctant to allow outsiders to join them.
Regardless, I think I'm rambled on enough for now. If anyone is genuinely up for this please let me know. Constructive criticism and suggestions are very welcome.

Greenshot is the best tool I've ever used ! And it is for free ! Thank you guys for all the work you did. It happens very often that you made my day, means my work easier ! Extremely high recommended ! ***** Thanks
Greenshot has got to be one of (if not the best) and easiest screenshot application today! What's more it's completely free, and that's fantastic! Great quality images and nicely customisable preferences. Highly recommended for beginners and advanced users alike.
It's a great tool, the best clipping snipping cutting tool I know. A great feature e. g. the automatic sceenshot saving - now I can look after my screenshots even from a week ago and they are still there. Easy, intuitive handling.
I used Snag-it for many years now. But unfortunately they have changed it from a small foot print and easy to use product to hard to understand bloated product. I was told about this and have been using it for about a month now. I have since written an email to the snagit people telling them to go pound sand. Thank you so much for creating this! It is by far worth paying for if you ever decide to market it.
Great program!
This tool is great!! I changed "Settings" -> "Destination" to "Open in image editor" to skip the choice that to do with the screenshot just created.
I needed a screen capture tool that simply did its thing and did it well.. - Hotkey launch to grab a rectangular part of the screen. - Capture to Clipboard only with no extra popups. - no extra key-presses needed. As usual the standard windows program, Snipping Tool was unable to do this simply. I tried about 4 or 5 others before hitting upon Greenshot. Powerful if you need power, Simple if you need simple. Exactly what I needed, and fully customizable .... One extra function would be a bessing: It would be great to be able to set the maximum height and/or width of image output: Both for the saved image and for the image placed on the clipboard. On-the-fly resizing of large images. Other wise very happy.
Totally awesome.. flicking windows snippy tool
very good project, thanks!
As simple as useful - just great !
the real green screen capture why should you take m$ visual studio license.. take it for free LoL
Switched from Faststone. Perfect handling, Very useful plugins i.e to send capture to mail. Only the video recording is missing. One of my favorite tools.
Very simple and useful tool!And it is free!
Add video recording... and it will be the best thing ever! :D
Excellent tool. Better than the paid version of snagit that I normally use! When you capture a screen it prompts you to which word document you want the image to be pasted in...- I love this feature. But it would be great if the following features are also provided : 1) An option by which the image can be automatically pasted to given filename or the last file that was accessed automatically (without prompting with a list of files to choose from) 2) Another option by which the tool will paste into the document into which you click .
Thank you for your work.
It saves my time. highly recommended
Quality software I would pay for. Since it isn't for sale - I just slipped you a few development support bucks. Thanks!
Open source, fast, very complete and extensible... it's perfect!
I mean that's the best tool for taking screenshots and documentation I've ever seen! And all for free!!! Thumbs very up!!!
Works nicely! Gracias!
Perfect software!
Power tool for snapshots!
Thought I was going to switch from LightShot (which I've used almost 2 years) as I liked the crosshairs and open source but compared picture taken and GS was blurry. Hope they can fix that.

Treatments and drugs
By Mayo Clinic staffThe treatment that's best for you depends on your particular personality disorder, its severity and your life situation. Often, a team approach is appropriate to make sure all of your psychiatric, medical and social needs are met. Because personality disorders tend to be chronic and can sometimes last much of your adult life, you may need long-term treatment.
The team involved in treatment may include your:
- Family doctor or primary care provider
- Psychiatrist
- Psychotherapist
- Pharmacist
- Family members
- Social workers
If you have mild symptoms that are well controlled, you may need treatment from only your family doctor, a psychiatrist or a therapist. If possible, find medical and mental health providers with experience in treating personality disorders.
Several treatments are available for personality disorders. They include:
- Psychotherapy
- Medications
- Hospitalization
Successful treatment depends on your active participation in your care.
Psychotherapy is the main way to treat personality disorders. Psychotherapy is a general term for the process of treating personality disorders by talking about your condition and related issues with a mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your mood, feelings, thoughts and behavior. Using the insight and knowledge you gain in psychotherapy, you can learn healthy ways to manage your symptoms.
Types of psychotherapy used to treat personality disorders may include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy. This combines features of both cognitive and behavior therapies to help you identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones.
- Dialectical behavior therapy. This is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that teaches behavioral skills to help you tolerate stress, regulate your emotions and improve your relationships with others.
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy. This therapy focuses on increasing your awareness of unconscious thoughts and behaviors, developing new insights into your motivations, and resolving conflicts to live a happier life.
- Psychoeducation. This therapy teaches you — and sometimes family and friends — about your illness, including treatments, coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
Psychotherapy may be provided in individual sessions, in group therapy or in sessions that include family or even friends. The type of psychotherapy that's right for you depends on your individual situation.
There are no medications specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat personality disorders. However, several types of psychiatric medications may help with various personality disorder symptoms.
- Antidepressant medications. Antidepressants may be useful if you have a depressed mood, anger, impulsivity, irritability or hopelessness, which may be associated with personality disorders.
- Mood-stabilizing medications. As their name suggests, mood stabilizers can help even out mood swings or reduce irritability, impulsivity and aggression.
- Anti-anxiety medications. These may help if you have anxiety, agitation or insomnia. But in some cases, they can increase impulsive behavior.
- Antipsychotic medications. Also called neuroleptics, these may be helpful if your symptoms include losing touch with reality (psychosis) or in some cases if you have anxiety or anger problems.
Hospitalization and residential treatment programs
In some cases, a personality disorder may be so severe that you require psychiatric hospitalization. Psychiatric hospitalization is generally recommended only when you aren't able to care for yourself properly or when you're in immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else. Psychiatric hospitalization options include 24-hour inpatient care, partial or day hospitalization, or residential treatment, which offers a supportive place to live.
Participating in your own care
Try to be an active participant in your treatment. Working together, you and your doctor or therapist can decide which treatment options may be best for your situation, depending on your type of personality disorder, your symptoms and their severity, your personal preferences, insurance coverage, affordability, treatment side effects, and other factors.
In some cases, a personality disorder may be so severe that a doctor, loved one or guardian may need to guide your care until you're well enough to participate in decision making.
