Making communication work
As long as they have the right support to learn, people with a learning disability can achieve anything. As long as you communicate that support to somebody in an understanding way.
It is important to always use accessible language, and to avoid jargon or long words that might be hard to understand. You should also take into account any physical disabilities the person may have that could make communication difficult for them.
- In person: many people with a learning disability have told Mencap that the best way to communicate with them is face-to-face and one-to-one.
- In writing: in writing, it is a good idea to use bigger text and bullet points, and to keep writing at a minimum of 16 point. It is also important to remember that too much colour can make reading harder for some people.
- On the phone: the best way to talk to someone with a learning disability on the phone is slowly and clearly, using easily understandable words.
When I had to go to the hospital the doctors would usually speak to my mum rather than speak to me. So I didn't bring her to the hospital anymore. Finally they started to recognise I'm the one, I need to understand, not my mum.

As we near the end of the year, game releases are beginning to slow down, which is probably a godsend for the folks still trying to catch up on the smattering of amazing niche titles released last month. Even so, November contains a solid lineup of diverse titles that will be sure to entertain anyone who still has money left to blow before the holidays (and if you do, color us jealous!). While most might be tempted to skip over November's releases in an attempt to recover from the shock of an empty wallet, we implore you to, at the very least, keep some of these titles on your list for a future purchase, as they are all worthwhile and definitely deserve some attention. From the PS Vita finally getting its must-play RPG to the return of Paper Mario, November is shaping up to be a fine month indeed.
Ragnarok Tactics | GungHo Online Entertainment, Chime, Apollosoft | November 6th
Ragnarok Tactics is the second Ragnarok Online spinoff to debut in North America this fall after Ragnarok Odyssey, but that doesn't mean it's only enjoyable for fans of the MMO. As the name implies, Ragnarok Tactics is a turn-based tactical RPG, featuring battles based on a grid, much like Final Fantasy Tactics. The game features a strong character customization component, and offers five different endings that can be reached by joining one of the game's three different factions and making certain decisions at critical junctures in the game's story. Fans of the Disgaea series and other tactical RPGs would do well to check this one out, especially considering it's one of the last straggling PSP releases.
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning |Marvelous AQL| November 6th
The Harvest Moon series isn't one to be praised for its innovation, but Harvest Moon: A New Beginning may be the most exciting entry in many years. Not only is it the first installment to be developed exclusively for the 3DS, but it offers a new degree of customization, from the player character all the way down to where buildings in the town are positioned and what they look like. In addition, bachelors and bachelorettes can be dated before tying the knot, adding an interesting twist to the romance aspect of the game. With updated graphics and a slew of other new additions such as new animals, crops, and the ability to change hair and clothing styles, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning will be sure to keep fans of virtual farming satisfied for many months come.
Sine Mora |Grasshopper Manufacture, Digital Reality | November 9th
If you've felt like you've heard of Sine Mora somewhere before, fear not, you're not going senile – the 2.5D shoot-'em-up was first released on XBLA back in March, but since we didn't get the chance to mention it then, we thought its Steam debut this month would be the perfect opportunity to give it the acknowledgement it deserves. Sine Mora is marketed as a bullet hell shooter due to its four difficulty levels and traditional arcade shooter gameplay, but it adds an interesting element to the mix by removing traditional health markers and replacing them with a timer for each level that decreases more rapidly as the player is damaged. Reviewers, including one here at VGW, have applauded the game's gorgeous visuals and excellent gameplay and boss battles, meaning you didn't get a chance to play it before, the Steam release should definitely be on your radar. We're still waiting for those PS3 and PS Vita releases, though…
Paper Mario: Sticker Star | Intelligent Systems | November 11th
It's funny to see Mario on a niche gaming list, but though the Paper Mario series holds a special place in many hearts for its mixture of quirky dialogue and RPG systems with the traditional Mario formula, Super Paper Mario's move away from much of what made the spinoff series so memorable for fans was gone. But Paper Mario: Sticker Star aims to restore goodwill by returning the RPG elements of the first two entries. As the first Paper Mario for a handheld system, Sticker Star uses stickers as an important part of both the game's storyline and gameplay, as players need to collect stickers to unlock new abilities and advance in the game. With its unique graphical style and premise, Sticker Star looks to be the return to the golden days of Paper Mario fans have been looking for.
Persona 4 Golden | Atlus | November 20th
PS Vita owners have been waiting for a must-have RPG since the system launched earlier this year, and Persona 4 Golden is, without a doubt, going to be it. As a revamped version of the hit PlayStation 2 title, Persona 4 Golden has new cutscene animations, social links, Personas, areas, additional voiced dialogue, and of course, trophies, making it the definitive version of Persona 4. Players can even call in help in dungeons via a new online connectivity function, rounding out the updates for the PS Vita re-release nicely. With the release of Persona 4 Golden literally causing a surge in PS Vita sales in its home country of Japan in addition to stellar reviews and consumer feedback, anyone with a PS Vita will need to pick this one up, regardless of whether you've played the original or not. And considering the original Persona 4 is king when it comes to JRPGs, fans of the genre are going to be in for a real treat.

I'm guessing the answer to this is going to be open a ticket with support but figured I'd ask here as well in case anyone has any thoughts.
Over the weekend we finally took the plunge and upgraded from zimbra NE 6.x to 7.x. Unlucky we've had at least one user report that their documents didn't migrate. Sure enough when I check she has a .migrate-wiki folder with a bunch of empty subfolders. It sounded like the best way to deal with this was to restore from a backup.
We had done a backup before the upgrade...but as luck would have it when I try to restore the account it fails. Checking the logs show that it actually finishes restoring/converting her documents/briefcase but then fails while restoring her mail.
We're now on(with patch 2):
Release 7.1.1_GA_3196.RHEL5_64_20110527001604 RHEL5_64 NETWORK edition.

*Basic Addressing Information*
(applies to any font choice)
With Dreamweaver Calligraphy, an address consists of up to 4 lines
(for example...)
Street Address
Apartment, Suite, Etc.
City, State, Zip
Any additional lines above this will be charged at a rate of $.50 per line.
All envelope addresses are written in a "staggered style" (see Handwritten Samples).
If you would like to have your addresses centered one line over another, you will be charged an extra $.50 per invitation. Also, if you do want your addresses centered you must specify this information before your order is started.
Invitations Assembly.....Starting at $.50 each
Pricing is slightly higher for invitations themselves that need to be put together;
ribbons, multiple layers, etc.
Please call for an exact price quote.
Rush orders will be subjected to a $50.00 additional fee.
(A rush order is any order that is anticipated to be complete before regular pre-set deadlines. In addition to this, rush orders may be subjected to delivery fees if times for drop offs/pick ups cannot be coordinated within existing calligrapher's schedule.)
Calligraphy done on site is $75.00 per hour
( plus travel time if more than 40 miles from calligrapher's location)
You can address your envelopes to your guests however you are comfortable and what is in keeping with the theme of your wedding, but for a link to check proper etiquette, click here. You do not have to spell out states, post office box, etc. but I do when I address your invitations. When I have finished addressing them, I double-check your entire order and then I apply a thin, transparent layer of wax over words on the outer envelope to protect them from the environment. This helps to ensure that your invitation arrives in mint condition and makes the most spectacular impression to your guests!
I do provide assembly and mailing service. (click here for more information) My team and I assemble all parts of your invitations, scent the tissues if desired, seal them and take them directly to the post office to have them hand-cancelled. This is especially helpful to you in that it saves you time, plus cuts down on the cost of return postage for the envelopes to you if you had to mail them to me to begin with. If I mail them for you, you must take one of your invitations assembled in full to the post office and have them weighed to determine how much postage they will need and then purchase the stamps for them for them. It is very important to make sure you include all parts of your invitation when you have them weighed - you do not want to spend the money on the invitations, the calligraphy and the stamps only to have them returned to you for insufficient postage!
Please feel free to contact me directly!

Australia's prime minister voiced deep concern on Monday that Russian-backed rebels remained in control of the crash site of Malaysia Airlines MH17 jet shot down over Ukraine, saying the site looked more like a "garden clean-up" than a forensic investigation.
At least 27 Australian passengers were among the 298 people aboard Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17, shot down over eastern Ukraine in an attack the West has blamed on separatist rebels armed by Russia.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott, speaking on a breakfast radio show, said he had spoken "overnight" to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time about the disaster, amid mounting horror over the treatment of victims' remains.
"He said all the right things and now we need him to be as good as his word," Abbott told 2GB radio, declining to comment in detail about his discussion with Putin.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday demanded Moscow take responsibility for the actions of pro-Russian rebels whom Washington suspects of downing the jet with a missile. He expressed disgust at their "grotesque" mishandling of the bodies.
Moscow denies any involvement in the disaster and has blamed the Ukrainian military.
Television images of the rebel-controlled crash scene, where the remains of victims had lain decomposing in fields among their personal belongings, have turned initial shock and sorrow after Thursday's disaster into anger. The bodies had been removed from much of the crash site by Sunday, with many placed in refrigerated train wagons.
"Given the almost certain culpability of the Russian-backed rebels in the downing of the aircraft, having those people in control of the site is a little like leaving criminals in control of a crime scene," Abbott later told reporters.
A 45-strong Australian investigation team was either in or heading to Kiev, but had so far been unable to travel to the site despite some improvement in access.
"There's still a hell of a long way to go before anyone could be satisfied with the way that site is being treated," Abbott said. "It's more like a garden clean-up than a forensic investigation. This is completely unacceptable."
Heading the Australian group is retired Navy officer Angus Houston, who had been leading the search for Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 which disappeared in March and is believed to have crashed off the west Australian coast. A C17 military transport aircraft is also on standby to fly to Ukraine.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant's greatest stretch
When Russell Westbrook was lost to the Thunder, we all figured that Kevin Durant needed to do the impossible. Step up his game.
Mission impossible has become mission accomplished. Despite a scoreless fourth quarter in Game 5, Durant has put together perhaps the greatest three-game stretch of his career. Let's review:
Game 3: 41 points on 13-of-30 shooting, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 41 seconds left; 14 rebounds, four assists, two steals, one blocked shot and four turnovers.
Game 4: 38 points on 12-of-16 shooting, eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and seven turnovers.
Game 5: 36 points on 11-of-23 shooting, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one blocked shot and three turnovers.
So that's a total of 115 points (38.3 per game), 29 rebounds (9.7), 17 assists (5.7), four steals, two blocked shots and 14 turnovers.
In Durant's career, regular season and post-season, this is his fourth-highest scoring three games.
1. 120: Jan. 26-30, 2011: Durant scored 47 vs. Minnesota, 40 vs. Washington, 33 vs. Miami.
2. 118: April 4-7: Durant scored 40 on Minnesota, 45 on Utah and 33 on Denver.
3. 116: Jan. 28-Feb 2, 2011: After that highest-scoring trio, Durant added 43 on New Orleans.
In none of those trio of games did Durant collectively shoot over 50 percent from the field. He's made 36 of 69 shots in these games, 52.2 percent.
The website basketball-reference.com has a category called gamescore, which is a complicated formula to put a number on a player's total game. Game scores in the 20s are really good. A game score of 30 is fantastic. Durant's game scores have been 29.3 in Game 3, 29.8 in Game 4 and 28.0 in Game 5. That's a combined 87.1. That ranks 10th in Durant's career for game scores over a three-game stretch.
All without Westbrook. All with the Thunder reeling and trying to find itself. In six NBA seasons, Durant never has stood taller than he's standing right now.

Will Iowa State win or lose at Texas A&M this weekend?
Gotta believe, that's what being a fan is, right? ISU WINS!
Before aTm slammed Tech, I would've said 'Clones all the way... now I think we're in for yet another nail-biter.
Thank you to Kagavi & amestoplease for the sweet designs!
Shootout, most likely. If we have A-rob, and it sounds like we will, we win.

This. And close wins count as wins!
Next week, we can start the bowl excitement in earnest, with 6 wins in our pocket!!
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
We get blown out. I said this last week and it worked in our favor so I'm all in on T A&M.
it will be a battle of arob vs their threesome of backs-michael,gray,and stephens.a and m will be able to rest their backs while arob will have to work a full game.i wish we had the extra running backs that could give arob a break.michael
and gray are very quick:stephens generally indicates a passing down,because he is their best blocker.
their qb johnson is off and on-some games he is hot and in other games he has been very poor. let's hope johnson has one of his off-days.
Win... that's part of being a fan and supporting the team, not matter what. ISU 38- A&M 24!!!
I think this game has the potential to be really back and forth. I wouldn't be shocked either way, but I'm sure hoping for another huge Cyclone win.
Clones 31, Aggies 30. We block a PAT in the fourth quarter for an epic reversal of karma. A-Rob and Arnaud have the games of their lives in their return to action. Clones become bowl eligible.

SEGA is working on a new entry in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U.
That's at least according to promotional material purportedly showcased at the Nuremberg Toy Fair recenlty. Spotted by Spindash, the info lists Sonic: Lost World and the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2014 release, as well as an as-yet untitled project for release next year.
It's an interesting development, as SEGA currently has a three-game deal with Nintendo to secure the exclusive release of Sonic titles for Wii U and 3DS. However, it could be that the 2015 Sonic game is separate from this, or that SEGA has decided to move it to other platforms altogether.
Sonic's last appearance on a Sony format came in the shape of Sonic Generations for PS3. The game remains one of the most celebrated outings from the Blue Blur after a string of poor releases over the past decade or so.
What would you like to see from a new Sonic game? Let us know in the comments section below.

Making Christmas ornaments is practically a rite of passage for schoolchildren. The ornaments decorated by 42 students at Emmanuel Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten in Rifle in September are headed to Washington, D.C.
Their ornaments will be included with more than 5,000 others from across Colorado as decorations for the Capitol Christmas Tree.
The U.S. Forest Service initiated an ornament drive earlier this year, hoping to collect 5,000 handmade ornaments from schools, 4-H clubs, Scout troops and other organizations across Colorado.
"This was the only group that was able to take advantage of this opportunity in Rifle," said Lydia Labelle De Ros, a U.S. Forest Service Rangeland Management Specialist who helped coordinate the ornament project at the preschool.
"We worked on the ornaments in September," said Emmanuel Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten director and teacher Jane Withee. Three of the five classes at the school participated in the project.
"They call them 'cookies,'" said Emmanuel Lutheran kindergarten teacher Mary Schmidt, describing the flat wooden disks the 4- and 5-year-old students decorated with paint, glitter, sequins and ribbons. The ornaments will be collected this week for transport to Washington, D.C.
Bruce Ward, founder of the nonprofit outdoor recreation, tourism and conservation organization Choose Outdoors, and Capitol Christmas Tree national director, has said he hopes to increase awareness about the pine beetle infestation that has ravaged forests and increased the threat of wildfires, mudslides and habitat loss for wildlife. The ornament wood, provided by the Forest Service, was harvested from beetle-killed trees.
The ornaments from Emmanuel Lutheran serve a dual educational purpose: teaching kids about the forest and educating the nation about one of the greatest threats to Colorado forests, the pine beetle epidemic.
"This is so great, we're getting kids talking and thinking about the forest," De Ros said. "These are the future scientists, future protectors of the forest. It's really important to start educating them about the forest at a young age."

A day after Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) expressed its interest in setting up an automotive facility with National Industrial Clusters Development Program (NICDP) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the companys main union sought assurance over the future of its five UK plants, said separate reports in The Guardian, Liverpool Daily Post, Shropshire Star, and online portal just-auto.com.
Unite, the UKs biggest union, has demanded for an urgent meeting with senior management at JLR and Tata Motors, according to reports.
I have personally asked for an urgent meeting with Tatas chairman and vice-chairman where I expect assurances over the future of JLRs UK plants, said Unite general secretary, Len McCluskey, according to reports in The Guardian and The Liverpool Daily Post.
A JLR spokesperson told FE, The union has gone to the media directly. Hence, we dont want to comment on that. However, the spokesperson added, JLR is committed to UK and will continue to invest in the market. Our plans outside the UK are for supplemental volume. JLR has invested £355 million in a new engine plant and £370 million in Solihull. We have created close to 8,000 jobs in the UK in the last two years, the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, the union said that at the time of acquisition of JLR by Tata Motors, the company had assured them that British-branded products would always be designed, manufactured and built in Britain.
Three years ago, Unite was delighted to back Tatas acquisition of JLR against fierce opposition. We also received guarantees that the future of Halewood, Castle Bromwich, Solihull and the two design studios would be secure for the long term, Unite general secretary said.
JLRs UK plants are running full capacity. The Halewood Freelander and Evoque factory are already working three shifts, seven days a week, to keep up with demand, according to reports.
Of late, JLR has seen its volumes rise in the emerging market prompting it to look for a facility in these markets.
Other than Saudi Arabia, the company has also announced its plans of setting up assembly facility in China with Chery Automobile Company in China to manufacture vehicles at a new plant near Shanghai. The Indian assembly facility, too, is expected to see further expansion.

July Golden Transfer
This month's Golden Transfer goes to my hometown, Seattle, WA (aka the 2-0-sickness), which has permanently designated Third Avenue as a transit-only corridor–during peak commute hours, that is.
From a Mayor's Office press release:
SEATTLE – Based on the outstanding success in moving buses quickly and efficiently through downtown, Mayor Greg Nickels today announced that local transit agencies will continue to use Third Avenue as a priority corridor when the transit tunnel reopens in September.
The decision to continue prioritizing bus service on Third Avenue during peak …

About those missing shelters…
Good news! From Dale at Metro:
We noticed…that you are interested in what became of the bus shelters in the photos…next to the Douglas Truth Library. The shelters were removed last week for refurbishing, and will be re-installed this week. All Metro bus shelters are pulled every 7 to 8 years, repainted and reinstalled w/new windows, walls, and translucent roofs. When a shelter is pulled it is usually replaced the same day or within a few days after the removal.
The terra cotta tile artwork that was in these shelters, will need additional restorative work before returning to the shelters, …

No shelter (or, "Dude, where's my bus stop?")
This morning, I walked out of my house to discover that the two bus shelters on my corner had been removed.
These were no ordinary shelters. They were spacious and attractive, with wood carvings that told the story of the community on their walls. And bus riders actually used them. A lot.
Here's what one of them used to look like:

Back door!
On my way home the other day, a woman (who apparently needed to get off at 23rd & Union) waited until all the other passengers getting off at that stop had disembarked before moseying toward the back door and mumbling something inaudible in the general direction of the driver. The oblivious driver proceeded to pull away from the stop. "I want to get off," she called out, louder this time. The bus kept moving. Before the driver had made it halfway down the block, she was screaming, "I want off! I want to get off!" at the top of her …

NYC congestion charges: an update
Robert I. (aka Neat Engine), New York native and former Seattle grad student, sent me this update (from the Times City Blog) on the city/state discussion about congestion pricing in Manhattan:
Journalists, advocacy groups and residents on both sides of the issues have been struggling to make sense of the congestion pricing agreement reached in Albany on Thursday.
On one hand, the deal at the very least seems to keep Mr. Bloomberg's idea of charging drivers in Manhattan alive. It may even allow the city to begin taking steps to begin putting such charges in place.

NYC: the congestion-pricing debate continues
Mayor Bloomberg is still pushing hard for congestion-pricing in New York. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the state legislature will approve his plan in time for the city to receive a $500 million federal traffic-reduction grant. From the Associated Press:
The U.S. Department of Transportation plans to choose up to three cities for pilot programs to combat traffic and pollution, providing up to $500 million for each winner to implement the plan… New York state Senate leader Joseph Bruno, a Republican, says Monday is the federal government's "drop-dead date" for New York to commit itself to Bloomberg's proposal.

A Friday of firsts
On the 48 this morning, I sat behind a father who was taking his preschool-age son on the bus for the first time. The two of them seemed to be having a great time: the son, excited about the bell, the big seats, the beeping of bus passes as they slid through the reader; the father, happy to answer his son's questions about what was what and why, chuckling at the boy's occasional outbursts (That's a big truck!/Did a bad guy mess up that building?/Three blue cars!). It was a beautiful father-son bonding experience–that is, until, about three stops from …

Citing their "potential harmful effects," California State Senator, and anti-videogame law architect, Leland Yee is advising parents and anyone else buying gifts for kids this holiday season, to avoid purchasing violent videogames.
Yee urged purchasers to retain awareness of marketing and advertising that targets kids, check a game's age ratings and content descriptors and to become familiar with the game. He warned that if any violent or sexual images appear on a game's box, or in its title, "you can assume these themes are also in the game."
It was also suggested that shoppers avoid all first and third-person shooters entirely, as they "usually focus on gunning down hundreds of people," and to avoid games "that reward the player with more points or new scenes for anti-social and violent behavior."
A list was also offered, culled from "several media sources," of specific games to steer clear of. The list included Call of Duty: Black Ops, God of War III, Fable III, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Red Dead Redemption, Army of Two: The 40th Day, Dante's Inferno, and Fallout: New Vegas.
"It is vitally important that parents and grandparents consider the content in video games before making holiday purchases," added Yee.

while scouring ebay for bike computers, came across this one that reminds me to:
I'm fairly new to cycling, but where exactly is the oil I'm supposed to change in my bicycle? I double checked this listing, and it says it's a "multifunction bicycle odometer comes in a modern yet simple design that is waterproof and portable, ensuring ease of use. It's the ideal companion for your bicycle."Prompts built into the item also remind you of important events such as maintenance check and low engine oil. Other prompts include speed adjustment and over speeding warning.

P Chidambaram may or may not be one of India's best finance ministers, but he is certainly one of the luckiest.
When he presented his first Budget in 1996, the economy at the time was still on a tear and this was Chidambaram's first stroke of luck. Growth was above 7%, and the fiscal deficit had been managed down by Manmohan Singh to 4.5% from close to 8% in 1991. A mark of a good finance minister is one who makes use of the opportunity and the headroom he has been given and Chidambaram saw his chance and took it. In his 1997 'Dream Budget', he cut taxes sharply for both individuals and corporates and put India on a path to a low tax regime.

Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening BB Base
Coverage: Sheer
Shades: 2 (No. 1 Blooming Beige, No. 2 Natural Beige)
Price: $60
Benefits: SPF 50, converts UV rays into visible pink rays
Review: A nice, creamy texture that goes on sheerer than the texture would suggest. Shade No. 1 is perhaps a bit too light for light-medium Asian skin tones, but rather than masky or pinkish, the effect is more brightening. A shiny finish, so use a bit of powder. Shade No. 2 is almost indistinguishable from Shade No. 1 in terms of color. Good for those looking for sheer coverage, but hardcore skin treatment benefits.

HUNTERSVILLE – Dave Nichols was 20 years old when he first met Thad Givens.
Givens, also 20 at the time, shared service with Nichols in Company F, 51st Infantry Ranger Airborne in 1968 during the Vietnam War.
The two served alongside one another for nearly eight months, headquartered in Bien Hoa, about 20 miles east of Ho Chi Minh City, then known as Saigon – right in the thick of the war.
Their company was split up three months before their tours ended. Nichols figured he'd never see Givens again. After the war, he lived in North Haven, Conn., before retiring and moving to Huntersville six years ago.
Givens spent 22 years in the U.S. Army before becoming a police chief and continuing a lifetime of service. He lived in Orange, N.J., but opted to move to Huntersville 10 years ago.
When Givens stopped at Auto Bell Car Wash off Gilead Road on Dec. 20, he was just ready to get his truck washed and get on the road. He proudly wore his bomber jacket with his Company F scroll emblazoned on the back.
Nichols was running pre-Christmas errands when he figured it was time to head to the car wash. He saw a man in a bomber jacket nearby.
"I didn't think much of it," Nichols said. "I saw a scroll that looked like mine, so I walked up to the guy and said, 'Were you with F Company?' and the guy said, 'Yeah, I was.'"
Nichols replied, "Two-three," the name of the company's unit in which he served. Givens was taken aback.
"I couldn't believe it," Givens said. "It was a unique experience."
The two hadn't seen one another in 45 years. Nichols is now 66. Givens turns 66 in May. It took him a second, but Givens knew who was speaking to him.
"We all look a little bit different now," Givens said. "We tried to put together 40-something years of news into a 30- or 45-minute conversation. Both of us thought, 'Wait until I tell the other veterans this!"
Nichols said he and Givens made plans to meet up after the holidays. Running into someone with whom he served nearly 50 years ago was an incredible feeling of surprise for him.
"When you're in combat, you think about the guys you served with and what you went through together," Nichols said. "In your wildest dreams, how could you ever expect that to happen? You just can't explain it. The last time I had seen Thad was 45 years ago, 12,000 miles away. I can't believe we both wound up moving to the same town and then running into one another."
Givens echoed Nichols' sentiment.
"We were part of a group of young men who came together from all walks of life with one mission in mind," he said. "I look forward to catching up with him soon."
Christmas hadn't yet arrived when Nichols ran into Givens, but it made for a great pre-Christmas present.
"He told me, 'You made my Christmas,'" Nichols said. "I said, 'You made mine, too.' It's pretty crazy how this all worked out."

iPhone App Video Review: Plants vs. Zombies™ 2
It's been a few years now since Plants vs. Zombies came along, completely revitalizing tower defense games and bothering to contextualize zombies in a game instead of just throwing them in for no reason. They actually suited the games mechanics perfectly. With all the humor and charm and creative plants, colorful visuals, and catchy background music, PopCap created a behemoth of an IP, and a rabid fanbase was soon screaming "Sequel! Sequel!" That sequel is here, and it couldn't be more aptly titled, Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time!
Yes, just as Om Nom recently took to traveling through time for Cut the Rope, the hilarious Crazy Dave, who takes on a more story driven role this game, transports you to ancient Egypt, pirate-infested Caribbean seas, and the old west. His mission? To eat that really good Taco he just ate a second time. While a lot of familiar faces and mechanics grace our lawns, there's a lot of new stuff too, from plant food boosts that will make one single plant of your choosing go beast mode for a while. That cabbage catapult super barrage will never get old.
The new locales of course bring with them appropriately themed enemies and mini-games, and oh lordy does this game have plenty of mini-games to enjoy, both old and new. I haven't found fan favorites like the Zen Garden or Survival mode yet, though. This being a free to play game with lots of in-app purchases, who knows what will show up down the line? Now, don't panic. You can indeed play the game without ever paying a cent. I'd rather have hurled a wad of cash at PopCap's face for the game upfront, but this'll have to do.
The coins that you collect are no longer used to purchase new plant types or upgrades. Now, those are all seeded in a new sub-game that is a Super Mario Bros. 3 like level map, with cordoned off areas that must be accessed with keys and such. Coins, instead, are used to buy plant food, and god-like power-ups that you can employ in a pinch. Sadly, there are some plants that seem to be in-app purchases only, including fan favorites like the Jalapeno and Torchwood.
With PopCap and EA at the helm of this massive sequel, I don't need to tell you that the visuals had all the funding they needed to become as crisp and excellent as they needed to be. This game is beautiful, and I'm kind of sad I won't be able to play it on my PC any time soon. It's a very different formula this time around, as far as unlocking content and progression goes. I mean, you pretty much have to perfect an area before you can move on to the next, unless you want to pay for early access, which I really don't mind.
While the presence of so many IAP options leaves a blemish on the shiny polished surface that is this game, it doesn't ruin it. This is the same core game we all know and love, but iterated upon in some interesting new ways. Definitely don't skip it, since it's totally free anyway. Only someone whose brains have already been eaten by zombies or something would do that. In which case, I'd say you probably should've played the first game a long time ago.

When the 11th edition of the Full Frame Film Festival unspooled in Durham, North Carolina last Thursday, many were watching to see if the festival would be fundamentally changed by the departure of founder and artistic director Nancy Buirski, long the festival's heart and soul. Buirski, who stayed on as advisor and sidebar curator after a leadership swtich, was still a looming and smiling presence in Durham this year, but the venerable nonfiction film event that she began carried on without her leadership, much the same as it had in previous years.
Sporting a limited number of premieres -- and generally eschewing the premiere frenzy that marks a number of top festivals -- Full Frame concentrated on a line-up of some of the best nonfiction titles of the past year, including well-received Sundance films such as "Trouble the Water" (which would go on to win three awards at Sunday's annual awards BBQ, including the Grand Jury Prize), "Man on Wire" (which received a Special Jury Prize and the Audience Award), "Order of Myths" and "Up the Yangtze," SXSW favorites "Flying on One Engine" and "In a Dream" (which won the Guggenheim Emerging Artist Award) and the True/False breakout hit "Forbidden Lies."
Of those films making their premieres in Durham, perhaps the best received was Eric Daniel Metzgar's "Life. Support. Music.," a lyrical and emotional portrait of a family dealing with a devastating illness and subsequent recovery. Metzgar, who previously directed the Spirit Award nominated "The Chances of the World Changing," profiles the New York guitarist Jason Krigler, who, while performing onstage in the East Village, suffers a brain hemorrhage that plunges him into a vegetative state. Convinced that they see signs of the Jason that they knew, his family -- including his very pregnant wife and divorced parents -- begin a daily regimen of care and stimulation in an attempt to bring him back.
While the family is amazing, it's Metzgar's work that transforms the film from mere medical drama. Working nearly as a one-man band, Metzgar (who directs, produces, shoots, edits and narrates) uses interviews, footage shot by the family and by the rehabilitation team at a Boston hospital and his own material to artfully weave an inspiring and moving story of perseverance and familial love. Skillfully edited with remarkable restraint, "Life. Support. Music." transcends one's perceptions of medicine, music and even miracles.
At a Q&A following the film's Saturday morning premiere, Metzgar was joined onstage by the Krigler family, including subject Jason. After a lengthy standing ovation from the audience, many viewers felt compelled to talk of their own experiences with close family and friends who've suffered catastrophic brain injuries.
There was a great deal of anticipation for the world premiere of Stefan Forbes' "Boogie Man," an entertaining profile of Lee Atwater, the political operative-turned-GOP chair who may have given birth to much of today's politics of fear. Unfortunately, the cut that screened Saturday night wasn't quite finished, displaying time-code over archival footage, flash frames, black cut-outs and an uneven sound mix. It's too bad that the filmmakers didn't ask to screen as a work-in-progress or sneak preview considering "Boogie Man"'s rough cut state, because somewhere inside the film that screened Saturday is a leaner version that could draw interest from television and perhaps even theatrical distributors.
One of the film's chief attributes, particularly in the current documentary climate, is its evenhanded view of Atwater. Right and left alike could find their perspectives validated by the film's mix of commentators. "He had a certain wisdom of what was going on," director Forbes said in a Q&A after the film. "The Democrats were more skilled in knocking Lee down (personally) in the media than they were (battling) against his political tactics."
If the filmmakers get a chance to premiere their finished cut, they could reach that diverse audience, but the fact that they screened an incomplete film should serve as a cautionary to other filmmakers rushing to complete their projects for a film festival -- you only get one world premiere.
The state of the doc
The state of documentary film in spring 2008 was the subject of an informative panel discussion Saturday afternoon moderated by Docurama head of programming Liz Ogilvie and featuring a full compliment of industry leaders, including HBO's Nancy Abraham, Magnolia Pictures' Tom Quinn and Molly Thompson of A&E IndieFilms, among others. Their presence was a reminder of Full Frame founder Buirski's ability to bring much of New York's documentary community to North Carolina each spring.
Ogilvie attempted to keep the panel discussion mostly positive, trying to talk about what is succeeding, despite Magnolia's Quinn joking that "we're all generally screwed." In fact, Magnolia has remained strongly in the nonfiction distribution game, acquiring Sundance hits like "Man on Wire" and "Bigger, Stronger, Faster*" as well as producing two other films that screened at Full Frame, Alex Gibney's "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson" and Doug Pray's "Surfwise." Each of the four Magnolia titles was in the running for the festival's Grand Jury Prize.
Quinn reflected that at a similar panel in 2007, he talked about that year's three high profile Sundance acquistions -- Amir Bar-Lev's "My Kid Could Paint That" (distributed by Sony Pictures Classics), David Sington's "In the Shadow of the Moon" (which THINKFilm distributed) and "Crazy Love," which Magnolia themselves released. "Last year I sat on this panel and said, 'we'll see how those films will do,'" Quinn remembered. "It will either be a boom year or a bust year." Despite the lack of success (particularly in relation to expectations) of those titles, Quinn sees hopeful signs for this year. "This year, things are looking a little bit better theatrically. Maybe things are not so bad."
A&E IndieFilm's Thompson was also hopeful, looking ahead to her company's upcoming "American Teen," which Paramount Vantage acquired after a fierce bidding war in Park City earlier this year. "If we have a chance at a theatrical success, this is it," she said, adding that the film would seek to reach beyond a traditional art house audience through partnerships with advertisers and social network sites.
HBO has been in the news lately for its decision to quietly screen Marina Zenovich's "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired" at the Coliseum Cinemas on West 181st Street in Manhattan (as well as a theater in Pasadena) in order to qualify the film for Oscar consideration prior to its run on the pay network this summer. HBO's Abraham said that the deal that the network struck with the filmmakers would allow the film to go out theatrically after airing on HBO and some suggested that there is more than one distributor interested in handling such a theatrical rollout, although that kind of theatrical-after-television strategy has not often worked in the past.
Abraham stressed that while filmmakers and press may look to theatrical releases and box office numbers as the key measure of success, for her network success is defined by a number of factors, with ratings being just one. "There are other factors," she said. "Sometimes films don't get great ratings. We look to reviews, press, general buzz and recognition in the cultural landscape, awards, etc." Abraham added that she's often surprised at how well docs have done on HBO On Demand. "There are some strange, surprising, sleeper hits."
By Saturday night's evening party, held in the vast spaces of Durham's modernist Nasher Art Museum, festival staff and filmmakers mingled and reflected on the festival as it moved into its second decade.
For founder Buirski, there was enjoyment in experiencing the festival as an audience member for the first time. "I still feel very involved," she told indieWIRE on Saturday night. = "I love the festival. I feel like they've internalized everything we've been doing for ten years." Buirski says that she will continue to work with the festival as an advisor, ambassador and curator.

Disabled servicemen achieve athletic goals at OTC
CHULA VISTA —— Sgt. Joseph Bozik leaned in and listened intently as paraplegic Ironman competitor Carlos Moleda gave him several last-minute tips on how to navigate his handcycle.
The riders were preparing for a lap around the track at the U.S. Olympic Training Center when Bozik, 27, tossed several questions Moleda's way regarding his racing and training techniques.
After his queries were sufficiently answered, the pair pushed off.
"Let's just see if you can keep it straight," Moleda said. "Just push it slow. Nice and easy. There you go."
Sessions similar to those of Moleda and Bozik will play out time and time again over the next several days at the U.S. Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Summit, which began on Wednesday. The Summit, which includes sports clinics and light competition, continues through Sunday for 28 injured service members. It is closed to the public.
On Oct. 29, 2004, Bozik lost both of his legs and his right arm when his vehicle rolled over an anti-tank mine 60 kilometers south of Baghdad, Iraq.
But on Wednesday, Bozik found himself focused on archery, volleyball and handcycling.
"At first, I realized I was the only triple amputee out here," Bozik said. "But as time progressed, everyone was telling me stories, 'I know this guy who's a triple amputee who competes in this and I know this guy.' You're only as limited as you let yourself be. That's something I've known from the beginning, that I want (to inspire). I know that once I leave this circle of people I want to give back."
John Register, the USOC Manager of Paralympic Academy and Military Programs, helped create the Summit, which debuted in Colorado Springs, Colo., in September, for several reasons.
First and foremost, the program was established to enable severely injured service members and veterans to enhance their rehabilitation, readiness and lifestyle.
The idea is that those participants will eventually become mentors to others —— military or civilian —— who have similar injuries and encourage them to get involved in sports and healthy, active lifestyles.
"Everyone needs an inspiration," said Register, a three-time track All-American at Arkansas who lost his left leg in a non-combat injury in 1994. "I think what sports does is it allows people to get a sense of normalcy of what they were used to before. And from there it's a launching point to any direction they want to go."
Moleda's accomplishments were of particular interest to Bozik, who said he preferred archery but wanted to be "well rounded" when it came to competing.
"One of my goals is to compete in a triathlon one day," Bozik said. "I was asking him how long he trained because he just competed in the Ironman. How long did he train for, what was (his) inspiration? I just want to learn from what their experience is and pick up tips from them."
Spc. Ramon Guitard was in a similar mode on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old, who lost his right leg above the knee 13 months ago, had never competed in a sporting event before last June. Then he took up handcycling as part of his rehabilitation and entered a five-mile race through Central Park in New York. He finished eighth. He has since completed the Marine Corps Marathon (Oct. 30) and the New York City Marathon (Sunday).
On Oct. 9, 2004, the bus Guitard was riding in was struck by multiple improvised explosive device blasts in Baghdad. As a result of the attack, Guitard lost his right leg above the knee, had his left leg fused and also suffered a traumatic brain injury resulting from a mild stroke he suffered. Guitard also suffers from blurred vision in his right eye when he tries to see things at a distance.

A University Grants Commission (UGC) appointed panel has recommended a ten-year term for a college principal instead of the current five years, the Lok Sabha was informed today.
A committee, appointed by UGC, to revisit the University Grants Commission Regulations, 2010, has recommended a period of ten years as the terms of appointment of a college principal with the eligibility for a reappointment of another five years, Minister of State for Human Resource Development (HRD) Shashi Tharoor said in a written reply.
At present, a principal gets a term of five years with the eligibility for reappointment for one more term, Tharoor said.
He added that the total experience of teaching, research and administration for the post of principal is recommended to be reduced from fifteen years to ten years.
The committee has stated that it is important to recruit dynamic and promising people for the pivotal post of principals in colleges and reasonably young people who are deserving should not be unduly excluded on the account of their age and experience, he said.

Wives who earn more than their husbands
June 23, 2005
In 2003, 25 percent of working wives whose husbands also worked earned more than their husbands.
This is up from 18 percent in 1987.
Among all married-couple families in which the wife (but not necessarily the husband) had earnings from work in 2003, 32 percent of the wives earned more than their husbands. This is a third higher than the 1987 figure of 24 percent.
These data on earnings are from the Current Population Survey. For more information see "Women in the Labor Force: A Databook," BLS Report 985.

I remember the day when the goverment crushed all their old ww2 and vietnam jeeps and other viehicals,,,,,, because dam,,,,we dont want to compete with US auto makers. It was a huge waste of money then ,,,,and it is no different today.
At least back then we didit sell it to our enemies.
It makes me feel safe when our enemies make computer chips for our military aircraft.
This kind of horshit is so ingraned and spiderwebbed through american politics there is nothing left to do but get more tangled up.
I don't know the background story but this morning on MSNBC's financial report they said it will be highly unlikely that GM and Chrysler will repay the bailout money.
I also read that many dealerships will go bankrupt waiting for the gooberment to reimburse them.
Once again this illustrates that we are stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.
"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
Second, now the CFC is over, dealerships all across the coutry are in a major sales slump again as buyers have learned to buy only when there are substantial discounts.
Hitler did not have to destroy democracy; he merely took advantage of the decay of democracy and at the critical moment obtained the support of many to whom, though they detested Hitler, he yet seemed the only man strong enough to get things done. F. A. Hayek from his book, "The Road To Serfdom".
The American way, deficit spending.
I'm sure that because my tax dollars went to pay for others cars, that because I could not use the program they will send me my $4500 just like all the folks that went in and used the program got.
Unfortunately, because I think ahead, don't get in over my head debt-wise I get screwed.
That's what makes Obama's speech yesterday stupid. He "preaches" do better for yourself, stay in school and take responsibility.....but the reality is, if you do that, then you get to pay for all the lazy-ass people who don't want to work, got in over their head debt-wise and can't or won't take responsibility for their own actions.

I have been working on developing a fantasy world that is set on an island much in size and climate to Japan. The island will be roughly 1000 miles (give or take) tall by 300-600 miles wide. These are rough dimensions only.
I found this map some time ago on Deviant Art. The artist specifically granted permission to use it for gaming purposes (this is just for a home brew campaign, and nothing commercial, etc). However, the map itself is quite washed out, and while I am prepared to use it as-is, I'd really like a snazzier one. Asking her to sharpen it resulted in yes, she would, but it would cost. This was years ago, when I couldnt really afford it. Now I can, but she has taken the map down from her page. Ergo, I come to you.
Why do I like this map? Let me tell you about my world.
Humanity lived in the southern lands where the warmer temperatures (temperate, nothing really tropical) made life nicer, but then through a series of events, the southern lands became overrun with monsters, and people fled north. This map shows a heavier concentration in the north than the south, which I like.
I also need a central mountain range that is high and foreboding, and yes, very snowy. This map clearly shows that.
In Japan, the northwest is the coldest, and the eastern seaboard and northeastern areas will have the most population. When I say "most", we're talking fantasy lands here, so a few hundred thousand at the MOST, island-wide.
I cannot send personal messages yet, but I really admire these maps and these artists here:
geoff_nunn's Album: Maps of the Westerlands
What would I change about the map I already have?
I'd like it to be a lot more vibrant. I want to print this out on a 11" x 17" paper when all is said and done.
I'd like 6 major ruined cities to be depicted in the south, and lots and lots of smaller settlements up north. I dont need anything named - really, I just havent come up with names for much yet, so merely noting them and their trade routes is fine.
I need the land to be "taller" than wider, with harsh terrain like Japan (they have less than 15% arid land, I think. I dont need it THAT stringent, but it should be mountainous and rough going on a lot of it, but classic Japanese beauty as well. You can deviate from the existing map, but keep its general shape. Improve upon it as you like.
What else? Still with me?
I can pay $100 USD, more if needed. Again, this is a homebrewed campaign so I dont need a rush or perfection, but I appreciate good work. I would prefer this to be complete by the end of January 2014 or so, but again, its not a critical rush. Regarding copyright, I certainly dont need any. You are free to use this elsewhere as needed. If you have a name that just HAS to go on the map because it fits, we can discuss this
My contact info is kealios-at--gmail (you know, without the dashes) and I'll try to get enough posts on here to be able to use the PM system.

Above .500 Season For Women's Soccer
A defensive-minded squad throughout the 2013 season, the Pasadena City College women's soccer team fittingly closed the year with a shutout, downing El Camino-Compton Center, 3-0 Friday on sophomore day at Robinson Stadium.
The Lancers, under first-year PCC head coach Reggie Rivas, eight times shut out opponents and seven times held them to one goal. Overall, PCC allowed a 1.2 goals against average and it would have been far lower had it not been that the Lancers allowed 11 of their 24 goals against this year in two losses to perennial South Coast Conference champion Cerritos College.
Pasadena finished in fifth place in the SCC with a 5-4-5 conference mark and a 7-6-7 overall record. Against Compton, sophomore Amanda Papac picked up a goal and an assist as she finished as the team's leading points scorer with eight goals, two assists (18 points) this year.
The Lancers badly outshot the Tartars, 29-1, but could only net goals on an uncontested header by Bianca Martinez after a cross by Papac six minutes into the game; a breakaway score by Papac on a lead pass from Alexandria Jimenez at the 13th minute; and a nice re-direct on a flick shot by Lizbeth Rodriguez off a pass by Isabella Montano in the 73rd minute.
Freshman goalie Angie Ulmer recorded her sixth shutout with just one save as she posted an outstanding 1.04 goals against average and an .815 save percentages in her rookie collegiate season. Ulmer's 1.04 mark is a new school record for a regular starting goalie, breaking the mark of 1.13 set last year by Tatiana Sanchez.
"We battled through some injuries and got through a stretch where we couldn't buy a goal on offense," RIvas said. "Overall, I'm proud of the way we stepped up as a team the second half of the season. We went 4-1-3 in our last eight matches and we played a great first half in our second match v. Cerritos."
All-South Coast Conference selections for the Lancers will be announced on Tuesday.
