didnt he just escape death in a plane crash??
The Final Destination is not just a movie
I guess I'm too old and uncool to have any idea as to who this is
I was gonna say the same thing. lol. Never heard of him.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
He was a fairly famous DJ and producer.
He was in a small plane crash last fall with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and they were the only two that survived.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Nicole Ritchie is famous for the same reason the Hilton sisters are. Their last name. They have famous parents and based on that alone get undying coverage for no other reason. I refuse to watch any of the "pop news" crap for that reason. When they do something worth meriting (and no the Surreal Life doesnt count) then I might care.
Did plane crash ultimately kill DJ AM?
Some speculate that Adam Goldstein struggled with stress, guilt as survivor
PEOPLE.com updated 12:17 p.m. ET, Fri., Sept . 4, 2009
When DJ AM survived a fiery plane crash last September, he suffered severe second- and third-degree burns on his scalp and arms. But the accident left him with more than physical scars the popular deejay struggled with the mental and emotional side effects until the end of his life.
A few weeks after the crash in 2008, DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein) told PEOPLE, "I had a terrible nightmare ... there was someone with an aerosol can trying to light me on fire. I woke up and I was like, 'Oh my God. This is going to happen forever.' "
Goldstein sought therapy, but his survivor's guilt and post-traumatic stress never went away, according to friends and colleagues. Indeed, they may have ultimately led the recovering drug addict who was found dead Aug. 28 in his Manhattan apartment with illegal and prescription drugs to a critical relapse.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the injuries Adam suffered in the plane crash caused last Friday's events," Goldstein's lawyer Matthew McNicholas said after the deejay's death. "Without the plane crash, we'd still be enjoying his musical talents. He lived with the trauma everyday."
Fear of death and burning
Signs that Goldstein was still battling the psychological impact of the plane crash were never far from the surface. The deejay, for instance, had difficulty working at Rain, a Las Vegas nightclub known (for) its pyrotechnic displays, where Goldstein had a regular Friday night gig.
"They rarely shoot off the flames [during his night] and when they do, it's toned down," says a club source. "He got really nervous when they shot off the fire because you could feel the heat."
Three months after the accident, Goldstein filed a $20 million lawsuit against Learjet, the pilots' estates and others for "pain and suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress, disfigurement and pre-impact fear of death and burning," according to papers filed in court.
(A spokesperson for Learjet had no comment Tuesday regarding DJ AM's death.)
Stress and addiction
Goldstein's cause of death has not been officially determined. But according to multiple sources, the celebrity deejay's addiction spun out of control in his final days and led to his final crisis.
Could memories of the plane crash have contributed? Psychiatrist Dr. David Sack, an expert in drug and alcohol abuse, says that, in those already struggling with addiction, relapse can often be triggered by an earlier, unresolved trauma. "It significantly increases the risk of relapse," he says.
Another common symptom of post-traumatic stress, says Sack, an addiction specialist and CEO of Promises Treatment Centers who did not know Goldstein personally, is increased trouble with sleeplessness another potent trigger for drug relapse. "People who have insomnia are at least three times a greater risk for relapse than people who aren't having insomnia," says Sacks.
Not all of Goldstein's friends recall a change in behavior in recent weeks. "I saw him two months ago and he was in a good state," says a source. "Sober and just Adam happy, lovely, nice. I'd heard that he has had a tough few months, but no one saw this coming."
But another friend who remembers DJ AM fondly says there is little doubt that a combination of survivor's guilt, anxiety and PTSD took its toll.
"His death was a direct result of the plane crash," the friend tells PEOPLE. "It was something he fought daily. If that crash hadn't happened, he would be alive right now."
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Really? You are going to sue the DEAD PILOTS family for pain and suffering? Thats low. Really low.Three months after the accident, Goldstein filed a $20 million lawsuit against Learjet, the pilots' estates and others for "pain and suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress, disfigurement and pre-impact fear of death and burning," according to papers filed in court.

Majora Carter discussed her work in urban sustainability during a visit to Willamette.
Carter met for a round-table discussion with a group of Willamette undergraduates.
Dempsey Lecture inspires innovation in the field of sustainability
In this year's Dempsey Lecture, Majora Carter — an economic consultant, Peabody Award-winning public radio host and environmental justice advocate — presented the Willamette University community with her creative strategies for transcending race and class lines that can pose a challenge to sustainability solutions.
She began with a controversial confession: "I have something in common with the Tea Party. I believe that we should have a smaller government by creating jobs for our most expensive citizens."
Those "most expensive citizens" are the thousands of people who repeatedly cycle through the American prison systems due to what Carter claims is a lack of hope. Carter's enterprise kills two proverbial birds with one stone: offering constructive jobs to these at-risk citizens, while also establishing fresh approaches in the world of sustainability.
Carter, a New York Bronx native, initially pioneered this movement by founding Sustainable South Bronx — an activism group whose first major project was to convert an illegal garbage dump on the Bronx River waterfront into what is now Hunt's Point Riverside Park.
Greening the Ghetto
Carter's lecture shed light on many misconceptions of environmental justice, urban sustainability and the imperative need to reexamine American food production and consumption culture. She focused on the importance of engaging communities, especially those in areas such as the South Bronx where knowledge is often a commoditized privilege.
"You can't assume people know these things," she says. "I left the South Bronx for college, and suddenly I saw a lot of things members of my community didn't see. They weren't denying it was happening, but they were denying that there was anything they could do to change it."
Carter left Sustainable South Bronx in good hands and moved on to running the Majora Carter Group. She highlighted several of her colleagues' successes across the country, including an urban bee-keeping operation in Chicago. She cited statistics showing that nationwide, 65% of convicts return to jail, yet for those in the Chicago program, this stat is fewer than 10%.
"This job training system is the most exciting project I've undertaken," she said. "People who told me they wouldn't ever be anything suddenly realized that they could learn skills that are both useful and that contribute to their self worth. It was truly a beautiful thing."
From the Bronx to Salem
Earlier in the day, a small group of Willamette students sat down with Carter for an intimate question and answer period. The discussion yielded a number of valuable truths for those students on the brink of the transition from theoretical classroom discussions to their application in fields such as Carter's.
Though the group comprised primarily senior environmental science and politics majors, the students also represented a colorful variety of minors and backgrounds. When combined with Carter's interdisciplinary advocacy, this diversity fueled a multi-faceted discussion, integrating topics such as art as advocacy, economic policy and sociological dilemmas involved in class division in the environmental sector.
Peggyjoy Hodgen '11, an environmental science major, said the discussion provided exciting insights into the fields of urban sustainability and justice, in which she hopes to pursue career opportunities. She also said it was empowering for her as a woman to hear from a leading female in the field.
"Connecting with public figures such as Majora shows us how we'll really be able to solve issues," Hogden says, "and allows us to feel empowered in both our skills as scientists and our acquired passion for applying knowledge in a meaningful way."

ALLEN - Betsy Layne outlasted South Floyd in a 58th District/Floyd County Conference baseball matchup Tuesday evening. The Bobcats, playing at home, plated one run in the bottom half of the ninth inning to edge South Floyd 10-9 in nine innings at Stumbo Park.
Betsy Layne won for the second straight outing, evening its overall record to 7-7 and moving to 2-3 in the 58th District.
South Floyd, which had a four-game winning streak snapped, fell to 7-9 overall and 0-5 in the district.
Betsy Layne senior pitcher Michael Henson worked six innings and recorded a game-high 11 strikeouts.
Freshman Dustin Tackett pitched three innings for the Bobcats.
South Floyd owned multiple leads over Betsy Layne before the game entered extra innings. After each team scored one run in the opening inning, South Floyd outscored Betsy Layne 3-2 in the second to move ahead 4-3. The Raiders, however, continued to produce offensively. South Floyd pushed three runs across in the third inning and added two more in the fourth to lead 9-3.
The Raiders, playing on the road for the first time since April 12, then went quiet at the plate. South Floyd never scored again in the district game.
Betsy Layne scored four runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning and added two more in the sixth to tie the game 9-9.
Neither team scored in the seventh inning as the game was forced to move into an extra inning.
Following a scoreless eighth inning and South Floyd being held in check in the top half of the ninth, Betsy Layne scored in the bottom of the ninth to claim the win.
Henson and Will West led the Betsy Layne offensive with three hits apiece. Kannon Newsome added two hits and three RBIs for the Bobcats.
Jacob Crager led the South Floyd offense with four RBIs. Marcus Gayhart added three RBIs for the Raiders.
South Floyd pitcher Jacob Johnson worked 8.1 innings and suffered the loss. Johnson, who was able to get ahead early on opposing batters by throwing 29 first pitch strikes, registered 10 strikeouts in the losing effort.

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
Because the new aged gamers are Boring, Linear, and Simplistic ? Want now, free, no work, dont want to travel, i didnt get a medal for killing 5 rats, i hit max level in 5 hrs i are king, this game is boring i quit.......................
i jest i jest................. but yeah most new mmorpgs are like this now. Developers and gamers alike seem to have lost their creative and exploration side and just want everything so easily available now. Its not what a mmorpg is about. Though a few decent looking ones are on the horizon thankfuly.

The official questline is basically story-telling. Hence it is linear. All good storytelling games are linear in nature (Mafia - the city of Lost Heaven comes to mind).
Developers chose to make linear quests. It is very much possible to make non-linear quests in foundry. The engine does not disallow the nonlinearity in questing.

Its better than 3 other games in beta / alpha at the moment. If you are holding out for those, don't bother.

Yes, foundry has a capability for non-linear quests. My quest is quite non-linear.
It was not there this beta weekend because I got busy with RL job, but it was there in beta weekend 1 and will be there in beta weekend 3(promise).
It is completely non-linear. Next time, open foundry and search for Cmapaign named "Maiden in the Moon" or the quest named "The Wild Moon(mote) Chase" or the author named @gillrmn. You should be able to find it. It is completely non-linear in nature, however it starts as linear quest to make you feel comfortable at first.
There are some side-quests in map 1 which you can miss. Map 3 (Lake teardrop) is open map with 7 side-quests out of which you will have to do at least 1. Then map 4 has a courtroom trial with battle of wits and many "optional" elements (either do this or do that choices).
I will add more nonlinear elements in the campaigns later down the line including optional endings, but for now these much should do. Already few people who tried it are saying in ratings review, "Too many puzzles" "too many options, didn't know what to do first" - something which I aimed for!

About the "golden trail" imo it sucks, the game is already pretty linear, we'll just take it to 100!, by giving you the path. But you are ok with this as an option.
Then you talk about DDO's awesome character building (I agree) but you are then told what cookie cutter you have to play with.
The deal I'm getting at is you were running DDO with PUG's based on "you have to do this or else", well those same PUG's are going to dictate to us that we will need to run with the golden trail on, because someone in the PUG will and you'll have to follow suit to keep up. Like in DDO, you are forced to do it. No golden trail, no issue, no one ever even asked for this anyway.
Cryptic is possibly turning into the Lisa Lapanelli of MMO makers, they are screwing themselves to the bottom. How much dumber do things have to be? It's like they are trying to find out how little they could possibly do and still make bank. Instead of raising their game, they lower it. There are seveal things in this game which are lighter then already questionable efforts.
That all said... it does have a nice ARPG combat model to it. I'll at least play it to some point.

Boring? Linear? Simplistic? Yup i can see all those things. For the past 10 years games have moved towards just being a cash cow. People don't make games for enjoyment sake or to make the best game possible. Nope, its just all about making a dollar and everyone be damned kind of attitude.

RED: The reason I am okay with this option is because it is just that, optional. The game isn't forcing you to hold it's hand, as we've already read or experienced, the game is linear enough without it. But the game is giving you the option of taking a hint when your stuck, and up front tells you how to turn it off. What's not to appreciate about that? I guess because I look at the mechanism as a bit larger then myself I can see it's value, because if my younger nephews (ages ranging from 10-5) were to play this game, I would want to be able to tell them, 'if your stuck, hit this button and the game will help you find what you need'.
YELLOW: No, we weren't actually running with PUGs, that was a guild run. My friend and I joined a guild and it was literally a case of there being five or six different builds throughout the entirety of the guild. My personal favourite character out of 3ed D&D was the high crit Kukri Rogue, I would make the character, get about level 10, someone from the guild told me that a certain feat actually plays out better in D&D online then PnP, and said I should reroll before it got too late. So I did, then as I was levelling, I was informed that Kukris don't drop as often as Falchions in high end loot, and that for better damage I should've been speccing that, told to reroll, so I did. Then when my friend and I had levelled to a point we could run a high end instance with our guild, we realised that by doing so, we had made ourselves amazingly redundant, as everyone simply zerged the content, and there was no need for actual D&D roleplay or even fun.
BLUE: Now your saying that those same PUGs will dictate to us our gameplay, following the path of least resistance because that's what they're doing; I guess you missed the part where my friend and I quit playing DDO due to the fact that this was so rampant? We didn't want to become a part of that establishment, so we didn't. There is freewill in gaming, you choose what you want to do, how you want to play. In regards to this issue, it's simply a matter of choosing to hit the button 'z' or not.
Edit for Green: I -really- wanted to emphasis the fact that this mechanic is OPTIONAL!

It's what the generations brought up on consoles want and they are the majority now.

PC is not political correctness, it means Political Cowardice!
Haven't any of you out there noticed that starting with EQ2 and WoW, the genre has slowly devolved into a mindless dumbed down shell of what it started out as? The money is clearly with the casual gamer, WoW has proven that and EQ2 was an attempt to please EQs more casual crowd. Companies are simply trying to make the games easier and easier because they seem to think that those that don't want to feel like they are working for success will play their basterdized shells of MMOs that have launched for the last 8 years or so.
As long as we keep giving companies our money that listen to accountants and looking at statistical analysis rather than listening to their development types that actually PLAY MMOs, we will keep getting dumber and dumber games. You want to get back to something closer to the glory days before WoW, then stop padding the profit margins of these companies and make them wake the f*ck up. I mean paying $200 before you even know if you will like a game is insane. But WAIT! IT gets better! You can beta test it in all 3 beta weekends! You get to play a Drow and have a spider mount and a panther companion and you can live out your Drizzt fantasies! What a joke. Nevermind that what you are actually doing is providing them with revenue for doing something that used to be free and companies used to actually value beta testers inputs and would try to FIX the bugs that we reported. That was a ways back by the way.
All CEOs know is $$$$$. They don't care one damn bit about what the customers really want. The data says we are zombies and will play almost anything they feed us. So stop complaining because as long as you are supporting these idiots with money, you are getting exactly what you are paying for... CRAP.

I can say from my experince so far, for the most part enemy AI early on is very linear and simple but as the game progresses there are variations of enemies in the form of small, medium and big. The big ones are usually the standout very intelligent AI enemies. For example there are these large sized knights with shields, they play their role very well. Playing as a guardian I have the most fun and tactical fights with these large soldiers with shields. During the fight they will Shield bash and stun you then stomp you to death if you are not paying attention, this combined with speed they are very tricky to catch with their shields down. They are built to knock down players and expose player weaknesses. Even a fully geared/highly geared player as myself it would still take a long time and a lot of thinking to make sure I don't die. Even further in the game they are combined with summoners which makes it even more exciting and tactical.
Now where it gets even more interesting is the layering of enemies later in the game where there are certain objectives. For example there is a mission where you need to stop a summoning of sorts. But trying to stop it is very hard since the layered enemies are set up to push you back (keep you as far as possible from the summoner) and make it very hard to reach the summoner at the back side and because of the mechanics of the game you can't take shortcuts like you would in a tab target game and shoot through the font line mobs. In addtion the summoner will summon more mobs through out the fight. The most efficient method to make it through the fight is to try to run past the frontline enemies which is possible and zerg the summoner but the summoner will surprise you with some very dangerous and up close abilites which will stun you and knock you back into the frontline enemies. In the end it took a balance of keeping a certain distance from the smaller enemies and some ingenious knock back moves and using environmental obstacles to have a chance to hit the summoner. This fight alone was very satisfying and encompass what designers call Map Gameplay and understand Core Gameplay.
Of course this has been my experience and as a professional in the industry I don't get excited very often but when I see another combat designer who understands the basics of an exciting combat encounter and make it fun in an MMO, I have to give him some appluase for understanding that it is much better to have quality over quantity.

On part three, right. Trails of gold, builds... all having to do something you may not want because of anothers action. Just tTake the trails away and not worry about that one, boom 50% better. The game just didn't need another level of dumbing down any way.
But it's my opinion, I respect yours, I just saw a parrallel between those two and how peoples action then affect our own. Something optional, becomes something forced.

Comments about Ariat Women's Rodeobaby Round-Up Western Boots:
I own several pair of boots and really have found Ariat to be the most comfortable. I wear these boots out alot on motorcycle rides. The sole is non-slip and grips very well on the motorcycle's foot pegs. I'v gotten alot of complements as well, on these boots. Many have asked where to purchase them and if they're very expensive. They definitely look more expensive then they cost! The only thing is that, due to the type of sole, I would not recommend it as a line dancing boot.

SUMTER - Mike White's two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth kept Goose Creek Post 166 alive in the American Legion state tournament on Sunday, propelling the local club to a 5-4 win over Murrells Inlet at Riley Park.
Post 166 (22-11) faces elimination again on Monday against Greenville. Greenville lost to Sumter 11-8 in 13 innings earlier Monday.
Post 166 got out to a 2-0 lead after three innings. Tyler Rio had an RBI single in the first and Zach Lavery added an RBI single in the third inning.
Murrells Inlet tied it with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings and took the lead with a run in the eighth, chasing Post 166 starter Cody Smith. It added to its lead with another run in the ninth off reliever Cody Maw.
Smith allowed eight hits and three runs over seven innings, striking out five and walking none.
Murrells Inlet led 4-2 going into the bottom of the ninth but Post 166 loaded the bases with no outs and pulled within 4-3 on Davon Higgins' groundout to set the stage for White, who came up as a pinch hitter with runners on second and third. He had only nine at-bats all season but came through with a single to left to win it.
White's hit on a 2-0 count scored Rio from third base and the speedy Taylor Morrison from second base.
Cody Maw was credited with the win for Goose Creek but did more in left field earlier. He threw out a pair of runners at the plate and snagged a line drive out of the air on what looked it was going to be a base hit. Maw got the final six hits, allowing two hits and one unearned run.
Christian Sillanpaa and Rio had three hits each for Post 166. Austin Timm had two hits.
Rio is slated to take the hill for Goose Creek on Monday.

West Cumbrian food firm celebrates 40th anniversary
Last updated at 21:22, Thursday, 15 March 2012
A Threlkeld firm has celebrated 40 years in business.
Four Seasons Foods was opened in 1972 by Cranston Horsburgh and initially operated from a small corner shop and pilot warehouses throughout Keswick.
In 1981 a retail unit was opened at Herries Thwaite Shopping Centre.
Mr Horsburgh retired in 1992 and his sons Andrew and David took over, moving to the warehouse in Threlkeld.
David is no longer involved in the business, which has been run by Andrew and his wife Clare since April 2003.
To celebrate 40 years, the firm, which employs around 35 staff, opened the doors to the warehouse last week and invited all its local and national suppliers as well as new and existing customers.
There was also a Ready Steady Cook style competition with local chefs and bread-making demonstrations from Dan Grimshaw, of Simply Good Baking in Keswick.
Andrew Horsburgh, who is managing director, said: "We are privileged to be celebrating 40 years in business, especially in the current economic climate.
"We pride ourselves on good prices, good produce and have no gimmicks and try to maintain our prices.
"We try to be an open book and what you see is what you get with us."
Mr Horsburgh said the recession had not affected the business as yet but he felt they would be able to tackle it if it became worse.
"Most of our staff have been with us for 20-plus years and many of our drivers for around 15 years," he said.
"We are all like a family here and we also have a fantastic team of junior staff.
"I certainly hope we can keep going for another 40 years."
Around 150 people turned up on the day, including Francis Chisuse, of the Msuwadzi Association of Small Tea Farms in Malawi, who had been invited by Keswick man Joe Human, of the Cumbria Fairtrade Network.
Mr Human said that the tea growers received a price premium for their tea as well as a grant price for community development and that this money had allowed children to go to school and bridges to be built in villages to help transport.

I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine by Bob Dylan
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Whom already have been sold
"Arise, arise," he cried so loud
In a voice without restraint
"Come out, ye gifted kings and queens
And hear my sad complaint
No martyr is among ye now
Whom you can call your own
So go on your way accordingly
But know you're not alone"
I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive with fiery breath
And I dreamed I was amongst the ones
That put him out to death
Oh, I awoke in anger
So alone and terrified
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
The cost of genetic testing ranges from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Costs vary according to factors including:
Most insurance companies will cover the cost of genetic testing in individuals who have either a personal history or family history of cancer and who meet certain guidelines.
Financial assistance for diagnosis or treatment of cancer is sometimes available. Fewer resources are available for those seeking assistance with the cost of genetic counseling or testing, or preventive options such as chemoprevention or prophylactic surgery. Preventive medicine is sometimes considered elective and, therefore, not always covered by assistance programs. Requesting help from a health care professional who is knowledgeable in genetics ensures that the genetic test ordered for you is appropriate. A genetics counselor or expert can also help you request medical reimbursement for testing.

Interview With Spawn Animation Director Frank Paur
Friday, December 09, 2005
By Janet Jaramillo
Frank Paur went to school at Brigham Young University, focusing on fine arts and illustration. He began his career in animation by doing layouts and storyboarding.
"I am able to incorporate everything I loved as a child, and as an illustrator, make it my career," he says.
What is involved with directing animation?
FP: To be a director, you have to have answers -- and the best way to have the answers is to have experience in every aspect of animation. Like most animation directors, I started at the bottom and learned every step it takes to get something on screen. I understand what works, and I am able to communicate that to the people I work with. For me, especially with Spawn, there are three things I focus on when directing. The first is to decipher the intent of the scene -- are we letting you in on some information about the character or is the action key? Second, I ask myself, what is the emotion I want to convey -- terror, a hint of something to come -- the mood is very important. And third is the composition of the set and positioning of characters. This is vital with Spawn because of the use of shadows. It's almost like the shadow is another character, so you have to work really hard to show what you want in so much darkness.
So the ability to effectively explain what you are trying to achieve is a key characteristic of a director?
FP: Absolutely. This is why I chose Chuck Patton to work with me on Spawn. He not only understands my language, he also has a lot of great ideas to add. He is also great at communicating our needs to his team, so it works really well. But also it's important to be able to create a quick visual that the illustrator can elaborate on. My ability as an artist comes in handy as a director.
What is something you do in your job that surprises you?
FP: Acting. To time scenes, many times I become the character and act out their part so we can get an accurate time for the action that is taking place. Every movement has to be laid out, and it's not just about walking into a room and sitting at a desk, for example. Take Sam -- he's a big guy, so when he enters a room he may be out of breath, he may pause as he opens the door and he covers a lot of ground with his big steps. All of those things must be thought about and accounted for when timing the scene. It's a part of the job that surprised me for sure.
HBO Spawn versus Film Roman Spawn?
FP: When I worked on Spawn at HBO, I just took over the third season. That experience was more taking what was already set up and adding my directing knowledge to it. I wasn't involved from the ground floor like I am with this Spawn project.
At Film Roman we have the experience from HBO under our belts and we know what worked and didn't. One of my goals this time around was to get more detail in the background and using Photoshop a lot more. The level of detail in the walls, carpets and stained glass is really amazing and necessary seven years later.
There is also more cohesiveness with the characters, it's more unified style-wise than it was at HBO, especially since this is a movie and that was a series. It's a little bit apples and oranges in that department until we go to series. I think the cohesiveness will really shine once we get that far.
But overall for me personally the difference is I got to start from scratch and I have a lot more influence over how the project looks.
Question from message board member, Gavrilo Princip: Will the new animation feature the same music (or composer) as the original? The music was one of the keys to creating the incredible atmosphere of the HBO animated series. It'd be a shame to lose it.
FP: Fifty percent of everything you see on TV is sound. The music is critical and it will definitely reflect the style of the story. Choosing a composer is like casting an actor, the composers talent will have to be able to fit in with the show and be able to create the right sound for what the story is trying to convey. We're not quite there yet, so I don't have an answer about who the composer will be. But I can say with 100 percent confidence that a lot of care will go into the score of the show.

- The changing dynamics of US inflation persistence : a quantile regression approach : [Version 4 September 2012] (2012)
- We examine both the degree and the structural stability of inflation persis tence at different quantiles of the conditional inflation distribution. Previous research focused exclusively on persistence at the conditional mean of the inflation rate. Economic theory, however, provides various reasons -for example downward wage rigidities or menu costs- to expect higher inflation persistence at the upper than at the lower tail of the conditional inflation distribution. Based on post-war US data we indeed find slower mean reversion in response to positive than to negative shocks. We find robust evidence for a structural break in persistence at all quantiles of the inflation process in the early 1980s. Inflation persistence has decreased and become more homogeneous across quantiles. Persistence at the conditional mean became more informative about the degree of persistence across the entire conditional inflation distribution. While prior to the 1980s inflation was not mean reverting in response to large positive shocks, our evidence strongly suggests that since the end of the Volcker disinflation the unit root can be rejected at every quantile including the upper tail of the conditional inflation distribution.

I had been wondering what exactly a guest post was when Cory, a fellow Canadian with a great food blog of his own, Zesty Cook, asked me to write one. I have been following Cory's blog for a while and and I was excited about doing a guest post for him. It turns out that a guest post is pretty much what it sounds like so head on over to Zesty Cook for the curried red lentil soup with chickpeas and quinoa post and take a look at some of Cory's great recipes and food tips.

"Just like all the other Suki products this one was awesome!! After cleansing with the foaming cleanser and scrub I removed my makeup with the toner, applied the pure facial moisture oil, and then I would coat my face with the Balancing Day lotion. This solution was on the more liquid side, but it really soaked into the skin and added more moisture when combined with the serum!! Since my skin is on the more dryer side I use both the oil and day lotion at night to get an extra moisture boost!!"

Layers of clothing are discarded as they grapple and grope each other in their thirst for flesh and muscle. Pedro's too impatient to remove Daniel's Long Johns and tears them to gain access to Daniel's delicious hole, breathing in the musk as he buries his face between the perfect orbs of arse, probing with his hot tongue, getting it slick and wet, ready for for his thick, throbbing cock. They flip-flop fuck their way to messy, wet cum shots, splattering each others' bristling chests with great gobs of cum. As dawn breaks our two heroes melt into a satisfied slumber in the sumptuous surroundings of their elegant home.

Hey - I think that it is religion that primarily obfuscates the basic logic of this for most adherents, yes, if that is what you're asking/stating. Do atheists generally think its a good idea? I don't' know but I'd suspect they do because most of them are pretty darn smart.
When and where do you think it's a good thing to do?
As long as one makes the decision to end their own life while still bearing full legal capacity I have no issue with euthanasia.
My great grandmother did this by having a living will done long before she got sick. By the time the living will conditions legally kicked in it was obvious she was:
1.) Not coming back
2.) Suffering
Which was part of the conditions of the living will.
So, it worked as desired and she passed away peacefully with family and morphine. You can't do it how she did in the United States and she did this out of country. Here, I think you can only ask for this if something else is keeping you alive, like a machine of some kind. I think that is irrational and should not be a requirement.
However, do you mean to broach the topic of forced euthanasia?
- kk
I was not really thinking about forced euthanasia, and I think we are a way off from the suicide machines.
I wish we had better treatments for depression, or that we could find more balance in our lives. I'm sad that we haven't found a novel psychopharmacotherapy in thirty years.
Anyway, my concern is because I'm involved with the care of the elderly, and we have a rapidly aging population, with a dwindling younger one, that we are only at the tip of the iceberg and are already way over stressed in terms of the number of sick old people we can accommodate. Also, it really seems to me that a lot of these people do not have any quality of life.
But I don't feel qualified to make decisions about who lives and who dies. We would need to have consent of some form, or a process by which it wouldn't be easily corruptible. Sometimes I can't shut my mouth about religion even at work, this reminded me of this, we've got a relatively young guy with a progressive neurological disorder and he can't remember much. He's also JW, and they don't celebrate birthdays and shit, right? So anyway the recreation therapist said, they're,allowed to take him to parties to listen to music and have a piece of cake, because he doesn't really have anything left in the world, but they have to remind him each time that its against his religion. I didn't bite my tongue fast enough, i said "if his gods gonna hold that against him at this point in his life, maybe his gods not worth having!"
Anyway, no, I was just wondering if in general atheists believed that mercy killing was acceptable, but we got into suicide machines and forced euthanasia... You folks are gonna open my mind too much and my brain will fall out.
I'm not making the best use of the website because I'm using an iPad and there's some things I can't do. I would like to follow you on twitter if you're on it, I saw your name kir but then I couldn't link to it..
Oh, that might be because I changed the twitter name to match my blog. I'll go update that link. Here it is as well:
Can you message it to me or post it here? Anyone else who talks to me on these forums too, if you have a twitter name and I can follow you please share. I'm sure if I was on a pc it would be easy for me to find that info but this iPad is kind of like a big cell phone in some ways. Or I'm just not figuring it out yet. I'll get it eventually.
Regarding psychopharmacotherapy, medicine is very limited in what it can do for psychiatric illnesses. There is still so much to learn about how the brain works. One clear example is the link between diabetes and depression. My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 8 years old, and just last month was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression. The psychiatrist said that there is a huge population of diabetics with depression, these two seemingly unrelated diseases go hand in hand a good percentage of the time. There are insulin receptors in the brain which we don't really know what they do, maybe they are involved with feeling full during a meal, or giving you pleasure from food, (these are my own theories), but clearly they do something. Then you mess up the metabolism and add exogenous insulin to the system, and something else goes wrong. So much of medicine is sadly just affecting natural systems in a way that we don't clearly understand, leading to other problems that we understand even less.
Anyway, for psychopharmacology we have: antianxiety agents, antidepressants, mood stabilizers (basically lithium and antiepileptic drugs), and antipsychotics.
It may seem like a new antidepressant comes out every other day but sadly most of these are "me-too" drugs, they are variations (often very slight variations) on what already exists. (Bupropion is actually one exception, it is more different from the other antidepressants then any of them are to each other, because it affects dopamine where the others affect mostly serotonin and a bit of norepinephrine).
There is a lot of potential in the hallucinogens and some other drugs of abuse, but the potential for these is limited by the fact that people abuse them. This is another topic I have to post because I am very passionate about the fact that people abuse drugs because they are unhappy, not because they are bad.
Same way with my father who died a bit over a month ago. He wanted to die naturally with heroic measures. We took him to my sister's house and were all there at his side when he drew his last breath. We kept him for a day so that local friends and family could come to see him at peace. My ex and daughter flew in from the West Coast. It was a dignified death.
"To the person who said that suicide laws are unenforceable, I offer a mild correction. They are quite enforceable for those who are unsuccessful at it."
How? If they were unsuccessful, they didn't commit suicide, so they didn't break the law.
If you mean attempted suicide, that's yet another matter. There are millions of unsuccessful suicide attempts every year in the US. I don't know if attempted suicide is legal or not, but I can't recall ever hearing of someone facing criminal prosecution for a failed suicide attempt. Can you?
It's hard to imagine a scenario where the police talk a distraught man down from a bridge and then arrest him on criminal charges. They usually end up getting psychiatric evaluations, not jail time.
Back to euthanasia: There are at least a few US states were physician-assisted suicide is legal, if heavily regulated. I think Washington state is one of them. I'd look it up, but I'm a lazy, lazy man.
If suicide is illegal, wouldn't attempting suicide be (at best) attempting to break the law. It's like trying to rob a bank.... you don't succeed, but it's still illegal.
A personal hero of mine:
"After a two day trial, the Michigan jury found Kevorkian guilty of second-degree homicide. Judge Jessica Cooper sentenced Kevorkian to serve 10–25 years in prison"-Wiki.
I have a right to die...so I guess have to shoot myself someday. In fact, tens of thousands of gun assisted suicides occur every year..maybe this is why us Americans really love our guns.
Our callousness towards human dignity has reached biblical proportions.
I admire Dr. Kevorkian as well, on all saints day I suggested that Mother Teresa be stripped of her sainthood and the crown or whatever they get be given to Dr. K. I don't think the Catholics will go for it somehow, they regard pain as a virtue, where I think easing suffering, not contributing to it is more admirable.
the crown or whatever they get
Halo? or is that just angels... pretty sure they get a nice stained glass window in a church somewhere too.
