I understand this can be hard to talk about since it could have been traumatic for some people. It can also hold a lot of sadness, pain, anger, or all of them.
If you're a Sword Art Online fan, or enjoy gaming feel free to add me
Intentional trolls, feeders, and grievers in League Of Legends.
Those people.. they disgust me.
Well I was molested as a child by a teenager who lived next door...
Liar by nature
Well one guy tried to have sex with me and I said no and he got super mad and I was scared as hell. He made me feel like I was a piece of shit, but I didn't want that. I went in the bathroom and locked the door and cried while thinking of what I was going to do next. I will be honest I did put myself in an bad situation but had no idea it would end up the way it did and he was so un-understanding. I never did that again. Hotel party is not a friendly joke unless your willing to get down. I safely got away. No Im not a whore theres a long story to it and why I ended up there. There were people around thank goodness.
When I was in year 6 (6th grade) a group of older teenagers approached me and my friend while we were outside and basically just shouted at us and told us we were fat, and should just "roll down the hill" we were trying to climb...
Really traumatised me
They asked us a lot of questions we didn't know how to answer, and I'm not a people person at best... When a stranger starts shouting at me like that I can't cope XD
I'm loved by all.
Just insults. Nothing special.
Holy....fandango, its been ages.
Well i did get picked on. People would make fun of me and make me feel bad about myself. They would do this to me like everyday. It sucks i didn't do anything to them so why do they have to pick on me for.I grew sader and sader.I little piece of me would die everyday they hurt me with there hurtful words and things they would do to upset me. Things of mine would get stolen from me from time to time. Have you ever had things thrown at you? If have have then you know how much it sucks. I had no friends to help me deal with all of this. I am a shy and quiet person. I have a hard time talking to people cuz im just so shy. Besides people hardly ever notice me anyway. The people who did notice me were those lame jerks who would not LEAVE ME ALONE. I was a loner. They ruined my childdhood and made me miss out on all the fun i could have had. They stole my happiness from me. I am not proud to admit this but i would cry alot when nobody was around. Sometimes i would cry myself to sleep. I personally find it a struggle to be happy and be positive. I am scared for life because of them. I am so emotional right now So PLEASE DON'T EVER put someone down or pick on them.
I <3 you ALL so much :D
Don't be sad. Im in despir sometimes as well due to a situation that Im in. Things will change and get better. I know what you mean from my personal experience. I have become a quiet and shy person and I don't undertsnand why. Ever since I had something very bad happen to me I feel disconnected from the world, but am trying hard to break that barrier to feel like me again. I am now a loner most of the time due to something that occurred. The only difference about me is that Im quiet and shy but if someone rubbs me the wrong way I instantly attack and surprise people lol. You are not alone

I read this and it made me smile. THANK YOU for your kind words. I really hope things get better REALLY SOON. I have been feeling really sad and isolated lately.
I <3 you ALL so much :D
I have been feeling that way for a very long time now. I know are situations are alittle different but you also let me know that I as well am not alone You will progress, Im sure you have all ready, and them people will seem more and more like nothing. Im slowly getting better but its better than nothing at all. And your Welcome.
I've been beaten, verbally abused, robbed at gunpoint, and worst of all as a child I had my sweet roll stolen.
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
At school, I've had a person who kept shoving graphic drawings of gigantic tarantulas ripping and eating people apart, in my face. No-one believed me about my phobia or that this student was capable of such cruelty.
I had teachers ignore and worse encourage bullying. They even listed my work under another student's name, calling me a liar!
I have been accused of stealing and not doing stuff when I've done as I've told and i do not steal.
Someone even used all my microsoft points on my account. Thankfully I got all the points back and my account was not damaged.
I've had people curse me as nearly every kind of scum under the sun. When I use to fight back, it only seemed to make them believe the lies more. I pity those fools, they're so ignorant and so stupid to reality that they live in such a warped bubble, that it becomes so entertaining seeing their world pop/shatter around them.
I even witnessed someone being beaten up, badly. We went over to help, only for them to punch my bro in the face and missed me by a hairline. We managed to outrun them, gave me confidence that despite my size I was not fat. We called the police, after losing them through the back roads and constantly checking each direction before advancing home.
I'm afraid of not finding love. Most of the ladies I've asked out either reject me or simply break my heart by not telling me they're going away or worse, being rejected before even asking them.
Sadly I still have yet to find love. I have family and friends but that doesn't seem to fill the void, it's the closest concept to a hollow hole.
letsee.. where do I start..
I've had a few terrible things happen to me. Some were just extremely embarassing, others really hurt.
I'd have to say the two top contenders are when I was passed out at a party a couple of acquaintances *they used to be what I considered
good friends* stripped me and then shaved me from head to toe.
The second was the first time I ever got up the courage to ask a woman out. She told me *edited for language"
"What makes you think I'd go out with a fat, ugly slob like you? I'd rather have intercourse with my dog. Get lost you freakin' loser"
people can be awfully cruel sometimes.. *sigh*
The worst emotional thing to happen to me was having my girlfriend shatter my trust and cheat on me, with a friend.
The worst physical thing to happen to me was probably getting a concussion in HS football, or growing up poor.
Winter Is Coming.
The worst thing that happened to me was the day I found out I have to go to work in order to pay these bills... and to find out later how to manage these bills between buying all my cigarettes and coffee

Hi All, Recently, quite some people have been requesting for scan-s2 a simple scan application which has been hacked on top of the scan application as available in the dvb-apps tree, to be integrated/pulled in to the dvb-apps tree, after it's author moved on to other arenas.
http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg11125.html The idea initially was to have a cloned copy of scan as scan-s2. Now, on the other hand scan-s2 is much more like scan and similar functionality wise too. Considering the aspects, do you think, that it is worthwhile to have a) the scan-s2 application and the scan application as well integrated into the repository, such that they both live together or b) scan-s2 does things almost the same as scan2. scan can be replaced by scan-s2. What are your ideas/thoughts on this ?

It doesn't matter if it works or it doesn't. It's the damage it does to the system. —State GOP Chairman Thomas Wright
SALT LAKE CITY — How bad was the negative advertising in the attorney general's primary race? Well, even state GOP Chairman Thomas Wright is saying enough is enough.
"When you end up where you did in that race, yeah, I think it got negative. I don't think that's what voters want," Wright said Wednesday. "It doesn't matter if it works or it doesn't. It's the damage it does to the system."
He said attack ads, like those that surfaced in the Republican run-off between John Swallow and Sean Reyes in the attorney general's race, result in voters getting so fed up with politics that they don't bother casting a ballot.
"It's not OK when it crosses the line and everybody knows where that line is," Wright said. "I encourage all candidates, Republican, Democratic, independent, to run clean, positive and productive campaigns and make Americans proud to vote."
Swallow won a resounding 68 percent of the vote, with Reyes winning 32 percent. Reyes said he lost to Swallow, the chief deputy attorney general, because of some $140,000 in last-minute radio and television commercials against him paid for by a Nevada-based political action committee.
"There really is no place for these types of malicious attack ads and involvement by outside organizations," Reyes told KSL Newsradio's Doug Wright. "It can have a devastating impact."
But Swallow said he, too, was a victim of negative campaigning, citing mailers sent out by a political action committee linked to Democrats. Swallow said neither he nor his campaign was involved in the anti-Reyes ads, but he could not vouch for his consultants.
"They can blame it on whatever they want to. I got hit probably as hard as he got hit. I think it cancelled out," Swallow said. He said Reyes likely hurt himself by taking legal action against the PAC that paid for the ads as well as Swallow and his campaign.
Swallow said he stayed positive in the $250,000 worth of advertising purchased by his campaign. "In this campaign, all I could "control is what I did and what I spent," he said.
That's the problem, Wright said, and not just with Swallow.
"With super PACs, it's so easy for people to say, 'I have no control," the GOP chairman said. "The game of, 'I didn't have anything to do with it' ... It's not OK and it's the worst of American politics right now and it needs to stop."
State Democratic Party Chairman Jim Dabakis agreed with Wright that something needs to be done to stop the influence of the so-called super PACs on elections, especially now that some have figured out how to avoid disclosing their donors.
"Our elections are being bought off by out-of-state, anonymous interests. It is a terrible thing for our political process," Dabakis said. Still, he said, there's no question negative ads work "especially when they come in slyly."
University of Utah political science professor Tim Chambless said even though the negative advertising appeared to work in the attorney general's primary race, it could backfire in the general election.
Reyes endorsed Swallow, but Chambless said that might not be enough to keep his supporters from voting in November for the Democrat in the race, Weber County Attorney Dee Smith.
"We may very well see a significant backlash of voters," Chambless said. "We know very, very often people vote the way they did in eighth grade. They vote on emotion" as much as about the issues.
Voters who carry a grudge from a primary race sometimes just stay home on Election Day, he said, but this year's general election features the match-up between President Barack Obama and Utah favorite son Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket.
That makes it more likely Swallow will be hurt at the polls by "guilt by association," with the negative advertising that dominated the intraparty race, Chambless said. "All they know is Smith did not irritate or anger them" in the primary election."
Smith said he wasn't sure whether he would benefit from the primary, but has no plans to reach out to Reyes supporters.
"Time will tell. But it's hard for me to say at this point," Smith said. "The only thing I would ask people to do is look at my record and look and my qualifications and make a decision based on who they think is best qualified."
Reyes wasn't the only loser in Tuesday's primary who said he was done in by attack ads.
Rep. Brad Daw, R-Orem, said a PAC that doesn't have to report where its money is coming from came in and spent some $30,000 in his race, more money than he was able to raise.
Daw, who lost to Dana Layton by about 350 votes, said the answer is more disclosure.
"There's always cockroaches. You're never going to stomp out all the cockroaches, but if you have enough sunshine it keeps them in the corners. In my case, I would love to know who's spending that kind of money."

Kitchen is no more a corner of the house where the suppers are readied for the family. It is presently the cutting edge space for the family to impart their exceptional times and appreciate dinners. It is composed with the same devotion as whatever other room of the house. It is a good idea to opt for kitchens by Design in order to get to some creative ways of decorating your interior.
When you outline your kitchen, remember the security issues, machines you oblige, time you typically spend in the kitchen, characteristic light openings, deplete offices, shading blends, beautiful and extravagance things, space distributed and the exercises you complete in the kitchen.
The separation in the components keeps the work zone free from intrusions of the individuals coming in the kitchen to simply wash a mug or drinking water from the icebox. Essentially the kitchen work is separated into three most normal destinations which are productively set by the assistance of kitchen work triangle. Kitchen by Design allows you to have a look at several demonstrations as well, through their official website.
Little kitchen can be composed utilizing the coasting racks which give a contemporary look. The simple moving racks are equipment and cutting free and offer a clean look with progression to the eyes making the kitchen seem greater. Stacking of comparative shading dishware will give your kitchen a bound together look. You can likewise try for glass or acrylic racking as an afterthought dividers which will give a dream of a bigger kitchen space and will likewise give you the space to store dish sets or other porcelain things. I suggest you to contact online with the respondent from Kitchen by Design for further information.
Some additional touches to the roof and the floor can add style to your little kitchen.

Religions need books because they don't have gods.
(until I'm given adequate evidence of macro-evolution)
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
(until I'm given adequate evidence of macro-evolution)
I haven't yet jumped over the fence to atheism and as of right now (until I'm given adequate evidence of macro-evolution) I am a deist. My "spiritual" journey is based solely on evidence and I go wherever the evidence leads me.
On the evolution issue...think about micro-evolution, and how it allows small changes where the species look similar, but can no longer mate successfully. Now, think about granting "micro-evolution" hundreds of millions of years. Could you not imagine that enough small changes add up to really big changes? There you go...Imagine, no god required.
Yes, I totally get that understanding of macro-evolution. I had a wrong understanding of the definition of macro-evolution. I guess what I meant by macro-evolution is "I am a deist until I am given hard evidence of how something can come from nothing" (how life can come from non-life). I go wherever the evidence takes me. Until I'm given sufficient evidence, then a God (creator) is "required" for my worldview because I see so much evidence around me that design comes from a designer (life comes from life).
I haven't yet jumped over the fence to atheism and as of right now (until I'm given adequate evidence of macro-evolution) I am a deist.
Of all the things that amaze me, non-acceptance of Evolution is probably the greatest. Those who go in for a Young Earth, I can dismiss as deluded along with flat-earthers, the ether that pervades space and spontaneous generations.Those who see religion as a philosophy with a narrative and all writings as "symbolic", I can live with - it could have been any -ism.Christians (and other religions) speak of "having to accept the spirit" to understand. This is a travesty of logic - first you believe then you understand then you believe. So believing in Evolution without evidence is equally stupid. The difference is that the evidence is there to be found.
Nobody gets given adequate evidence of macro-evolution (or as I call it, 'evolution') - they go out and find it. I suspect that there would be no point some of us here telling you anything about evolution. Start at the beginning, understand as you go along, reason why these things are so and why the supernatural has no need to exist, and does not and cannot exist.

So you want to make a great video game, huh? If you're going to make an amazing game then there are several things you can do to ensure your project's success. This article is designed to help out both small start up companies and freelancers bypass some of the pitfalls that claim many video game projects. I've been a part of over 50 projects in the video game, anime and production industries, and these tips are based off of my personal experiences and other situations that have actually happened. It is my hope that these tips will help more groups complete their game projects.
Setting Things Up
Know the niche or role of your project in the overall video game business before assembling a crew. A project post that has no concrete ideas or planning behind it doesn't get as much positive attention. This has been proven time and time again. If you want to get good, reliable people then first spend some time really fleshing out your project idea. If you can't create graphics for your project, then at least have a solid plot and game play scheme already set up.
Design Documents
Plan, plan and plan some more! You cannot over plan! Be original!!! Frankly, I'm getting tired of all of the MMOs popping up all over the place. Every single day I see a new indie team trying to gather a team to make another fantasy MMO. Why create a game in a market that is over flowing with these kinds of titles? Also, since there are so many titles out there (many by mega publishers) how much of a chance do these small titles have at success? A small team with limited resources (both in man power and funds) will do much better to carve out a niche that isn't being heavily saturated. Think back to all of the blockbuster movies or games and you'll notice they all have something in common: original concepts or techniques.
- The Matrix: Bullet Time amazed viewers and was a brand new effect.
- GTA 3: First major blockbuster game that features wide-open game play. While this had been done before, it hadn't been done to this extent nor had it reached such a global fan base.
- Final Fantasy 7: With amazing cut scenes, plot and summon sequences, FF7 made RPGs cool for much of the entire video game market.
Gathering Up a Top-notch Crew
The people doing the work are extremely important. Make sure you pick people that have a solid track of seeing things through. Ask for samples of their work and also their educational and industry background. This can help you select the best person for your job. Great video games take a long time to create, so having a crew that can start AND FINISH a long term project is vital. The old saying is true: You're only as strong as your weakest team member.
When posting ads for new crew members make sure the post is attractive and professional looking. Nobody wants to join a project when the ad lacks all punctuation, grammar and is misspelled. It gives a bad impression, a lack of attention to detail. Video games, great ones that is, are all about extreme attention to detail. Also try your best to provide any examples of work already done on the project. This can include sections of a game document, actual screen shots, and art and music examples. Remember the project that shows a great deal of preparation, thought, effort and professionalism will get the best responses.
Once you have the crew set up, you need to have everyone sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreements) and keep those on file. Please note that an NDA has nothing to do with ownership of rights. An NDA only protects your secrets and my secrets. Some project leads seem to confuse the two and think that just having a signed NDA means the project now owns any created material. It doesn't!
Have good communication between the crew. From the start, set up a solid policy of communication and stick to it. This means set up the weekly meetings for the same time and day and don't change it and also set up who reports to whom. I've been on some projects where one lead tells me to do one kind of job, while another lead tells me something completely different. Have a chain of command set up and stick to it. This will help bypass many problems and confusion later on. After doing some serious designing and planning you should have some realistic milestones set in place. Do your best to stick to these dates and make appropriate adjustments when a deadline isn't going to be met. Most projects die out for two major reasons:
- The project's progress slows down to such a point that the crew starts to get bored, lose faith or fall apart.
- The deadlines and concepts are unrealistic and the crew becomes frustrated and/or overworked.
Many crews make the mistake of thinking they can catch back up after missing a deadline. This is extremely hard to do because the amount of work just grows and grows. The crew will have to do double time, trying to hurry and fix the work from the missed deadline while trying to get to the work for the upcoming deadline. Be realistic, if you've missed one deadline then it might be best to push all others back some. Otherwise you'll just start missing every deadline. I was actually on a team for about 1.5 years and they missed 10 straight deadlines in a row. It was at that point I left the company. Also, since the company refused to work under contract (against my objections) I was able to take all of the content I owned the rights to with me. Learn from these mistakes!!!
Another important facet of a successful team is honesty. If the team is falling behind, be truthful with the crew. Let them know how things are going and work on solutions to fix the problem. The same company I was talking about in the previous paragraph had this problem too. The CEO and programming lead would say that things are moving along great and that the project was on schedule. This would happen right up until the deadline and then we'd need two more weeks to a month extension. This pattern happened 10 times before I left the company. The CEO confused positive leadership with straight up denial. The entire crew could tell the game was going nowhere, and yet the CEO was telling everyone "we're doing great." It was about as effective as a pilot telling the passengers that everything is fine while the plane is just about to crash into the mountains. Be honest with the crew and they'll work harder for you. Lie to them (especially if you continually lie to them) and resentment and mistrust will seep in.
Always, always, always work under a contract. The contract doesn't have to be super complex, but projects and/or crews working without contracts are seriously unstable. Here is why: From a company's point of view, working without a contract means the creators of all of the content own the rights to that material. This is especially true if a crew member created all of a certain type of content on a computer and software that they own. If they own the hardware and software the content is created on, and they haven't signed the rights of the materials over to the company then THEY own the content. They can stop working, take the material and move on. Since there isn't a contract, legally there isn't much the company can do. This is a strong reason why companies need to put things in writing and have both parties agree to it and sign it. From a crew member's point of view is it vital that you have the agreement set in writing so you can ensure that you get compensated for your work. If you have no contract and the company doesn't pay you it can make fighting for what is owed to you much harder.
Another issue about contracts is to make sure that the contract is correct. I actually had a company state that there were mistakes in the contract and it shouldn't be counted. This was after they and I signed it. Legally at that point it doesn't matter what mistakes are in the contract. The contract, once signed, is a legally binding agreement. Proof read, then proof read again. Have several people proof read it and make sure each detail is what the company wants to state. Otherwise, the company may find itself in a situation it doesn't want to be in.
I once had a project leader tell me that I was making video games for the wrong reason, simply because I wanted to get paid. He said that I didn't care at all about the art of making video games and that I was just out to get as much cash as possible. He couldn't be more mistaken. While I do want to get paid for my work, after all this is how I make my living, I love video games. I love reading about them, creating them and most of all, playing them! This leader has forgotten that video games are a major business! The video game industry has surpassed the annual earnings of Hollywood year after year! For small teams, money is often a sore spot so here are some thoughts to help even the most modest teams (or freelancers) navigate the money ocean.
I strongly urge projects to avoid the equity option as much as possible. Why? For many reasons! First off it makes everyone on the crew work for the possibility of payment. There is a risk that the project will not see the light of day and that means all of the time and energy put into the game is for naught, at least financially speaking.
Another potential problem is having the initial crew setup to receive a percentage of stocks and earnings. What happens if the more people are added to the crew at a later time? The percentages have to change because there are more people to pay. Is it fair to change the numbers after the contracts are signed?
While I understand many crews cannot afford to pay their members, it is important to recognize that a talented crew member may not be willing to work for free forever. Everyone has to start somewhere, and that usually means working for free, but as that person's resume and experience grows they'll probably start expecting some form of compensation. It is also common practice to give projects that are paying first "dibs". This means if you have a hired musician that is working on three projects, two paying and your project isn't, then your project may get the least amount of attention and time. It only makes sense, since these other projects are willing to put forth cash for his time and energy. This also applies to the amount of money offered. How would you split your time between two projects: one paying $500 and one paying $12,000? Most people would do more focus towards the higher paying project.
Make it a priority to know the industry standards! This is important for both the company and the freelancing crew member. I find a formula works best when working with companies. Having a set formula will show the company that you've thought things through and have a system. It will also allow them to estimate how much material they can afford to purchase from you. I've actually had a company opt for more material because they could afford it. For example you can state:
"$20 per each model generated. $10 for each background."
"$20 per each level designed."
"For each minute of audio created, I charge $40."
(These rates are just examples that I thought up. For accurate rates with today's industry standards, do some research before setting your formulas.)
Exclusive Rights
I do quite a bit of consulting and I tell everyone I work with that exclusive rights always cost money. If you're a freelancer, never let a company have exclusive rights to your content for free. It is also important for companies to understand common practices as they relate to rights. It is standard in the industry to charge 10 times the normal rate for exclusive rights. This is fair because exclusive rights means the creator is giving all of the rights to the buyer. This means the buyer can use the content as much as they want without paying any royalties or other fees to the creator. Since this is the only time the creator can profit from their content, they should make sure they get a fair amount.
For the sound designers out there: Unless it is a highly customized and unique sound effect, I usually only offer non-exclusive rights for sound design.
Use your funding well and be conservative with it! I was on a team once that got $50,000 funding for the game. The team was ecstatic! This was for a MMO that had great promise. The CEO then decided to rent out an office building when the team was still spread all over the US and working remote. Then he also decided to get a server farm of 20 computers. These two choices ended up costing the company $1100 per month. Meanwhile the employees were not getting paid at all. Months pass by and the funding runs out, the game is still far from even beta testing and the CEO had to start funding it himself. Now the game is still not finished, no funding in sight and the CEO is just about broke. Meanwhile the office building only has two people in it: the CEO and his secretary and the server farms are completely empty. Any employees that voiced any concern about the status of the game or company was labeled as negative and was either ignored or removed from the team. Not a good business plan for success!
Some Final Thoughts
Be Realistic
Know your limitations and do your best to plan out a project that will not surpass them. I've lost count of how many new projects claim to be the "next, most amazing MMORPG for the Xbox360!!!" Most of the time if you dig a little deeper into the post you'll learn that this is a three-person crew that have no funding and cannot offer any compensation to the crew. Odds are this project will be dissolved in two months and never see the finish line. It sounds harsh, but there is so much that goes into game development, not to mention next gen development that most teams require a full time crew of at least 30 people with a big budget. Many indie teams are part-time and have little or no budget to work with.
Baby Steps to Greatness
Lets say that you still have your heart set on making an amazing game for next gen consoles. Notice I didn't say it was impossible! It is a much better track to make several games before your dream project. Create some interesting, creative and original games and market those. Make the projects appropriate for a small crew and get a solid track record of several completed projects. Having finished, published material speaks volumes more than just a game idea. To put it bluntly, many teams can have great ideas... very few can follow through and make the ideas reality.
Learn to Think Like an Investor
This point actually dove tails the previous one, but shows why taking baby steps is so very important. Lets say you have to invest your life savings of $50,000 into one of two projects. You have no choice; I'm pointing a gun to your head. :)
Choice one: Three man crew, no funding, no games completed. A few art samples.
Choice two: Three man crew, small funding (roughly $10,000), have completed and published (available for download) three casual games, have screenshots and demo levels ready to play.
Which project feels more stable, more like a safe bet? After all, investing is a risk and an investor wants to pick the project with the best odds of success. What you want to do is have the best presentation of your project out there. Give a solid track record and you can start to land bigger contracts and get funding. It will be easier to make baby steps and prove yourself (or team) before trying to make a huge project from the get-go.
Be Professional
In everything that you do, always recognize that it will come back to your reputation. Don't take things personally, take them objectively. If someone doesn't like your game, don't get angry ask them why they don't like it. Perhaps they have some valid reasons why they didn't like it. Maybe these reasons could be tweaked and make the overall game a better experience. If you act professional, always try to learn more and work really hard you can go far in this business.
Be Prepared
This applies to both companies and freelancers, always be prepared. Always have a demo ready to go and keep your resume updated. These kinds of jobs pop up quickly and get filled even faster. It is no fun to scramble and throw together a last minute demo reel for a job opportunity. Odds are the demo reel will not be as up to date; it will take you longer to put to together and will probably stress you out. Having something ready to go at all times just makes it easier.
Understand IP and Copyright Laws
We've all see projects from "newbies" that want to remake Zelda or making another Dragon Ball Z game. Do some research and read up on copyright laws. It is important to understand that even if you're making a free game the companies that own the rights to these franchises can (and usually will) seek legal action. This is a fight that you don't want to get into and will not win! If you have your heart set on making one of these games, it is always best to write the company and ask for permission to make the game. They may say yes, but odds are they'll say no.
I've found if a game is part of an on-going series, about to be made into a movie or selling really well then the odds is very high that you'll not be allowed to remake or use the franchise. If it is a game that is quite old (more than five years at the least) and has no sequels or movie rights then you might have a chance at it. It is always better to ask first before getting a cease and desist letter from the company lawyers!
I hope that helps, now go make some great video games!!

Stupid question. They're too different to compair. If you want to make a comparison, then compair the manga of a series to the anime of that same series.
Asking which medium is best is like asking if sculpture is a better art form than paint. You'll never get an actual answer.

I prefer manga over anime (with a few exeptions). The story is usually more fleshed out and I like the more detailed art. comedy manga are also more funny IMO, because you can read over every moment as many times as you want. Manga rocks anime so hard.............. :fingers:

wow Im the only one that voted anime so far...hehe.
I do enjoy manga and i think sometimes the manga is better then the anime*cough*Naruto*cough*, but as long as its done well I think I would prefer anime.
I think for action anime is deffently better for obvious reasons, but I also think its better for drama as well becuase it can show the characters emotions and expressions better and also tell there thoughts just as good as manga.
of course the above only really applies if the anime stays true to the manga, witch in alot of cases it doesn't and often ends in the anime not being as good, but sometimes being differnt and just as good or better.....this is really a hard question to ask becuase its differnt at least for me for every series....but I enjoy watching anime more then reading manga.

The only thing that is really better in anime is action. It can be difficult to potrait good action in a manga, without confusing the reader with what's going on. for some reason, the full metal panic manga comes to mind with this. I found it difficult to follow what was happening when they fought in the mechs, but maybe it's just me.

manga, but only when the volumes are complete. Nothing sucks more than waiting weekly for 15 pages. So FMA anime over manga, but hxh manga over anime. After I read the naruto manga I stopped watching the anime but I don't regret reading the manga, the anime was going too slowly.

It varies from genre to genre. And of course, the quality of the material you are using to compare. For example, I have found that manga that are released to take advantage of a successful anime series would not be that good in comparison. There are exceptions to this rule -> for example, the Evangelion manga is quite excellent. However, the Stellvia manga (urgh, the drawing style! urg!) that I picked up recently was mediocre at best.
Then there are anime series which are released while the manga is still ongoing. Some manage to rise above themselves while others just plain rot away in the throes of episodic stories and filler material. Disappointing.

I actually perfer anime... Though the stuff they do to fit the story into episodes or the filler they stuff in to make it longer can be annoying sometimes. And better art is always good. Things just seem better executed in manga a lot of the time, I guess. The problem is my brain just seems to have a hard time soaking in the still pictures. A book I can read and everything goes on in my head. Anime I can watch and everything goes on in front of me. But when there's a picture already there, it just stays still. I haven't read too much manga, though, so maybe I will get more used to it. But whatever I perfer, it's still fun to have different versions of a story.

You can't watch anime on the bus (well, I guess you could, but then your portable DVD player might be jacked)
You can't get together with your friends and sit around a manga (well, I guess you could, but it'd be kind of boring/really weird)
If you're comparing a series that has already ended, then you can fly through the manga, while you're stuck at whatever pace the animators decide to give you.
The manga is closer to the vision of the creator. The anime is an adaptation.
The anime has music and you can actually assign voices to the faces.
Considering how many manga come out, and how many anime come out, we can assume (maybe incorrectly) that the anime is based off the more popular/better manga, so you know that the anime comes from the better stuff (I guess).
I like both, but I prefer manga.

For an anime to be on par with the manga it was adapted off, it needs to stick close to the manga. Lots of people would probably fight me on this point but I find it to hold true in most cases. Whenever something is changed or added to the anime it very seldom benefits from it. Added scenes (refered to as filler by some) never "flesh out" the story, because there's no actual story added.
As I see it the advantages to anime is purely in looks. We get motion, color, voices and music.
And the drawbacks are all related to the actual storytelling. The pace is often screwed up by filler. (The Prince of Tennis anime can't even compare to the manga because of this, though it's understandable since they caught up with the manga. Naruto on the other hand...)
Since the anime is aimed towards children we do not only get a lot of violence and nudity cut (and to some that is a big deal), but what's probably more annoying about this is the evened out storytelling. The creators of the anime often decides that certain characters should be given more time in the anime than they had in the manga. Apart from Konohamaru in Naruto, Sakura is another example. Since she's "one of the main characters" she gets more scenes despite the fact that the mangaka doesn't give her any. During the training between the 3rd exam prels and the 3rd exam we only see her in one short scene in the manga. In the anime she's in every other episode.
As I stated above, if the anime just follows the manga closely it gets all the advantages and none of the drawbacks. (Given that it looks and sounds good, but it usually does.) If not, I'd go with storytelling over visuals anytime.

=__= And where did you pull that statistic out of, fanboi?
My favorite animes are almost all original stories. Probably because I just don't watch animes from mangas that I've read, and if I like an anime from a manga I haven't read then I just go read the manga. Then there are the animes made from mangas that suck... doesn't happen all that often, but it does happen. Anyway, at least 1 or 2 shows every season are not from mangas. And generally all mangas adapted from anime suck. Terribly.

Sample essay on Importance of Proper Conduct:
The importance of using polite and proper language is as important as the dinner hour: VERY important. Proper behavior and language within school, is essential for proper learning and growth as a person. It helps people learn respect, for future and present use, for school and for jobs, and for common decency. Without proper conduct and language, we would be lost in a world full of ignorance, disrespect, and stress. People wouldn't know whom to look up to, they wouldn't listen to others, and they wouldn't know when to be quiet.
People who are older than you, deserve respect…it is a rule of life. They have had more years and in some case MANY more years of life experience than you, therefore, you should look up to them in a respectful manner, and not regard anything of what they say as being stupid, redundant, or insignificant; because they know far more than you about life. To respect is to hold someone in appreciative regard and esteem, and to do this, is not very hard. People who teach you, should deserve respect, for they are helping you get set for the rest of your life. People who nurture you, should deserve respect, because they have helped you become who you are today. The people who nurture, teach, and are older than you aren't the only ones who deserve respect. Everyone, deserves respect. You can respect people by not hurting them, you can respect people by not ridiculing them, you can respect people by saying "please" and "thank you" and by using your common manners.

Tablets are almost certain to be the hottest ticket of the holiday season. They start at $159, and some of the most powerful companies in tech are selling them. (Read More:Too Many Tablet Choices? How to Buy One This Holiday)
There are a lot of tablets available, so many I couldn't possibly touch on all of them, but let's have a look at some of the big ones:
-iPad Mini: $329
-iPad 2: $399
-4th Generation: $499
First, iPads. There are three basic models: The mini starts at $329, the iPad 2 at $399, and the 4th generation iPad at $499.
The iPad is of course the gold standard of tablets; Apple created today's tablet category when it unveiled the original iPad less than three years ago.
Aside from the smart design of iPad hardware, the main selling point of the iPad over other tablets? Apps.
There are more than 275,000 apps in Apple's App Store that are designed specifically for the iPad, not counting the iPhone apps that will also run on the device.
The downside? Unlike most of the other tablet players, Apple actually plans to make a profit on its devices. So the cheapest iPad sells at a $129 premium above the cheapest offerings from Amazon, Google or Barnes & Noble .
Amazon's Kindle Fire:
Which brings us to Amazon's Kindle Fire lineup. Amazon is offering the standard, low-resolution Fire for $159, the 7" HD for $199 and the 8.9" HD for $299.
For pure discount bliss, you can't do better than what Jeff Bezos & Co. are offering — Amazon's CEO has said he's prepared to break even (or lose a little money) on the upfront device sale, and wait to make a profit as people use it later.
The pros here are obvious: fast, high-resolution hardware at unbeatable prices.
But the cons?
The cheapest hardware has advertisements on the lock screen, and Amazon doesn't include as many bells and whistles as Apple does (like high-resolution cameras and productivity software). Surveys suggest that people use Kindle Fires to surf the web at a much lower rate than iPads. Make of that what you will.
Google's Nexus:
-7": $199
-10": $399
Google occupies an interesting position in these tablet wars.
It's not the cheapest of the major brands — that distinction goes to Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet.
It's not the most full-featured; Apple's iPad has more tablet-specific apps. Google's tablets, though, have some of the best of both worlds.
While not quite as cheap as Amazon's, Google's tablets are close. And Google has spent a little more money to put high-quality components in its tablets, such as the Nexus 10 display, which by some measures is as good as or better than the iPad's.
It's hard to say how this will play out for Google. Will it win for having a great value, or lose from being neither the lowest priced nor the strongest app ecosystem? Time will tell.
Then we've got a bunch of other players including Samsung, which is bound to do well with its Galaxy Note 10.1 and other gadgets; and a number of Windows 8 entrants includingMicrosoft with its own Surface.
Chances are, Apple will sell about as many iPads (around 30 million units) during the quarter as all of its rivals combined. But if any one of them can edge out the others for a strong showing at second place, the rewards in 2013 and beyond could be huge.

Good day!
I'm a beginner to OpenGL to say the least, and need a little bit of a nudge in the right direction in terms of development environments. I develop in ANSI C strictly, I don't want any C++ nonsense :P
At the moment I'm using the Sublime2 Text Editor, yet it's getting to the stage where I'm looking for something a bit more feature rich with more direct OpenGL support (highlighting etc), that doesn't shove a massive IDE in my face. I love the elegance of using a basic text editor, and have previously heard big names such as Vim and Emacs thrown about, yet not in the context of OpenGL.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

text: Title tilt reward for hard-core fans - The Province October 12, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Marc Weber It's hard to imagine today's USL First Division championship game meaning more to anyone than it does to the Whitecaps' core of decade-plus local veterans. After all, it marks the first career chance for them to win a title on home turf, in front of family and friends who couldn't make the trek to Rochester in 2006, and of course in front of their hometown fans. "I've been dreaming about it for 12 years now," said forward Jason Jordan. But to a select group of those fans, the hard-core supporters like the Southsiders -- ever-present behind the south goal, razzing the visiting goalie and cheering on their boys -- this game means everything, too. "We have been waiting so long for this moment and it looked like it might not happen," said Nazz Catania, a 46-year-old from Burnaby whose been around since the Lenaduzzi days in B.C. Place. "We were hopeful that we'd get [the final], even though we are playing the top team. "I think we were due." Around 75 Southsiders showed up in Seattle for the Whitecaps regular-season capper, and eight even showed up in Montreal when the Whitecaps and Impact christened Saputo Stadium. For the 2006 title tilt, a large group of Southsiders gathered at the Shark Club in Burnaby. "It was awesome," Catania said of that night. "We were all celebrating in the bar -- great memories." No doubt today's live performance has the chance to top that. © The Vancouver Province 2008 Previous Next

The User generated revolution is rolling faster and faster and is showing a real snowball effect, as it rolls it only gets bigger (let's hope it won't melt). The way I see it there are three of main categories a) user generated sites like Flickr and YouTube, b) social networks like Facebook and c) web applications like DoHop.
Here is a list of few that I have found and liked
www.dohop.com – Web application allowing users to find flights all over the world. A Unique flight planner technology that makes your travels much easier.
www.trivop.com – Again travel related site that show user generated videos of hotels around the world. Like going to TripAdvisor but on it's alive.
www.weblin.com – Cool twist on social search but needs a software installation
United Kingdom
www.mysupermarket.co.uk – I thought I had seen everything but no, then I find this. A price compareancy site on steroids. Great idea that makes live so much easier.
www.babytree.com – Facebook for babies. Ok, this I did not test myself, but why not?
And more…
But what I have also seen on my "user generated revolution / web 2.0" search is that all the big guy's have clones around the world, Digg has one in Brasil called Linkk and my favorite is in China and is called VeryDig.
For YouTube you can find a clone in all corners of the world, like BuscaTube in Mexico and MyVIdeo in Germany.
When you have 1.000.0000.000 people using the Internet (the 8th Continent) the clones will pop up as fast as you can say whatever it that the girl said in the Wizard of Oz.
Talking about the 8th continent, may the Internet is the lost Atlantis, turned web 2.0?
Just to finish this (or start) discussion, I am still a little sceptic on the Web 2.0 evolution for the masses as most (me included) have troubles updating their virus software and updating their computer to lates with the latest patches or versions is not a priority, I am not sure that the Web 2.0 revolution will move fast. Don't misunderstand me, it is moving but there is not much that tells me it will take over anytime soon, at least not this week.

According to Slicing Up Eyeballs Duran Duran issued a statement condemning the use of their hit "hungry Like The Wolf" in a Yoplait ad.
In a statement on their website, they had this to say:
Many of you have written to us, voicing your dismay about the recent license of our song Hungry Like the Wolf, to a yoghurt commercial. Please know, Duran Duran do not support this usage of their music and unfortunately, this particular license was granted without any prior notification to any of us. Had we known, under no circumstances would we have backed it.
Thankfully, the ad has now been taken off the air and moving forward we hope to avoid any further situations like this.
Now to be absolutely clear, this had nothing to do with music licensing or the usual shenanigans we've been writing about here as of late. No it's waaaay weirder.
See, apparently some people went ballistic on Yoplait's Facebook Page over hearing the song in the spot because it reminded them of an infamous murder case involving one Diane Downs, who shot her kids in a car while singing "hungry Like The Wolf." One of the poor children died. So Yoplait, being the good spineless brand it is, yanked the ad and then apologized on Facebook.
We're so sorry our ad upset you. When we chose the song, we had no idea of its connection to this terrible event. We take your feedback seriously, and yes, we have decided to remove this ad from the air while we consider other versions. Please know that it may take a couple of days until the ad is fully removed. We're again sorry that it's upset you and promise there was no intention to cause such disappointment.
You know what? I hadn't either. Because it was thirty years ago. I was barely out of diapers then, and the majority of people seeing the commercial do not have that context in mind. And I'm not trying to be macabre about it but maybe if Diane Downs had been snacking on Yoplait and singing "Hungry Like The Wolf," or if The Yoplait Commercial in question featured a woman in a car with her three children sining along, then I could see the American Public and Duran Duran's outrage. But Diane Downs wasn't eating Yoplait when she shot her kids. And Yoplait didn't use anything referencing the murders in the commercial. (I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.)
More importantly Duran Duran happily licensed the song to Old Spice so that Bruce Campbell could sing it. Oh and the fucking song is played a bazillion times a day, without anyone complaining. I don't see Duran Duran demanding the song be shunned like a wayward Amish girl. But this is advertising in America. At the first hint of controversy, no matter how irrational, and no matter how small the number of complaints, one must cave.
Oh yeah, if you want to see the offensive commercial, of course we have it here.
If I were Yoplait, I'd stop apologizing. I'd say "You know what, fuckers? We've given millions of dollars to breast cancer charity, so fuck off." Then I'd replace the Duran Duran track with Helter Skelter, and air it twenty four hours a day.
What's the Morrissey reference?
Yoplait may give millions to breast cancer but dairy is still the number 1 risk factor for breast cancer. Need yogurt? Get it vegan and reduce your risk to breast cancer. And please stop supporting breast cancer charities which are no more than research fronts for big pharma who cut open live animals without anesthesia.
I agree that the controversy over the Downs case is stupid and I am old enough to remember it, but the difference between the Yoplait ad and the Old Spice ad, was that the Yoplait ad featured the original Duran Duran song. Bruce Campbell or anyone else can do a cover version without the band's permission as long as they pay for the music rights, but you can't use the original without the band's permission. Burger King has been after them to use "Hungry Like The Wolf" in an ad for years, and the band never gave permission. So it could be the controversy over the Downs case just made them aware it was being used, I doubt they gave their permission and then backpedaled.
Who read this? The brands statement on Facebook has everything to do with the freakout over Diane Down's connection to the song, and you're not paying attention.

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has already admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003. But now A-Rod is said to be one of several people who received PEDs from a now-closed Florida clinic as recently as last year, according to a report Tuesday by the Miami New Times.
A spokesman for Rodriguez has denied the report.
Writers from around Tribune Co. discuss whether the Yankees should try to find a way to void the slugger's hefty contract and if such an attempt would be successful. Feel free to join the conversation by leaving a comment of your own.
Phil Rogers, Chicago Tribune
Gosh, we can't take Alex Rodriguez at his word? That's shocking. Absolutely shocking.
No wonder the Yankees' ownership has its lawyers working overtime to find a way to void the remaining five years -- at $114 million -- left on his contract. But it's not going to happen, and it shouldn't happen.
While Rodriguez clearly plays around with performance-enhancing drugs, he hasn't tested positive since the supposedly anonymous round of testing in 2003. His mention in the Miami New Times report is a big story mostly because he's become an albatross for the franchise.

DOVER — As difficult as it was earlier in the week for crews to remove as much as 30 inches of snow in Seacoast towns, three area businesses took extra steps to ensure that in removing the snow they did not harm the environment.
Dover-based Wade Landscaping prides itself on being an innovative, environmentally conscious landscaping company, an ethos that carries over to its winter operations.
"We haul all snow we move to a designated snow storage area, said Brian Wade, owner of Wade Landscaping. "We do this in the spring. We can sweep a parking lot and dispose of the remains as hazardous materials. We also make sure that any snow that is stacked be kept away from waterways, drainage, etc., due to the presence of possible contaminants, which include oil and antifreeze. Of course all of our equipment runs on bio diesel and we have an anti-idling policy."
Eliot, Maine-based Suntree Tree Healthcare, part of Piscataqua Landscaping Company, removes snow in southernmost Maine and across the border in New Hampshire in towns such as Dover. Manger Chris Kemp also employs green techniques to remove snow, but he does so, he said, with a caveat.
"Snow removal is anything but green," he said. "So it is with a guilty conscience that we do snow removal, and it is constantly on our minds to leave the smallest carbon footprint that we possibly can. But we try to find ways to minimize impact on the environment. Our 'green practices' fall mostly within our de-icing procedures."
Suntree has 45 plow trucks and half as many spreaders for applying de-icing materials. The traditional method of clearing roads and walkways of ice and snow was to apply straight salt — like the salt used for cooking — onto these surfaces. However, it has a traumatic effect on all living things, including soils and waterways. So, to minimize the impacts of its practices, Suntree uses a variety of methods and materials, the most effective being a liquid brine that is sprayed before a snowstorm. Once this dries and it starts to snow, the brine liquefies again and will melt up to 2 inches of snow at the base of the snow buildup. The liquid brine also allows for plows to scrape down to pavement which reduces the need to apply another round of de-icing material.
"For walkways, we cater our choice of de-icing material to the temperature. Salt, for example, will melt snow until it reaches -7, and calcium chloride will melt snow up to -20. This means we will not apply salt when the temperatures are going down to -15," Kemp said.
Finally, Suntree is researching propane powered trucks because propane emissions are less than traditional gasoline or diesel.
Micum Davis of Portsmouth-based Cornerstone Tree Care implements several green practices in the process of removing snow.
"We run a close-to-home service, where we give cost savings incentives for people closer to our home base of Portsmouth. This helps us reduce our fuel consumption and carbon footprint. We relocate and stack snow on site as much as possible to minimize fuel consumption and expense associated with hauling. We also offer a local hauling site to minimize fuel consumption and expense when trucking snow. And we carefully monitor lot conditions and apply salt only when necessary so as to minimize environmental exposure and groundwater contamination."
Cornerstone uses a high efficiency sander style that further reduces the use of salt. And it runs biodegradable hydraulic oil in its equipment to reduce the toxicity of its byproducts and biofuel in its equipment to limit air pollution and support a local biofuels business, Simply Green, located in Portsmouth. It also uses biobased Ultimate Biodegradable, no-smoke, no-odor two-cycle oil from AutoBeGreen, an Exeter company which specializes in green alternatives for automobiles and equipment, in his chain saws.
Wade Landscaping, Cornerstone Tree Care, Suntree Tree Healthcare, Simply Green and AutoBeGreen are Business Partners of the Green Alliance, a union of local sustainable businesses promoting environmentally sound business practices and a green co-op offering discounted green products and services to consumer members.

text: As an economical option for lining a straight chimney, it doesn't get much better than this. The 15 foot long liner itself is made of .006 inch thick stainless steel, making it very lightweight, but also extremely strong compared to comparably sized liners. The limited lifetime warranty is a really reassuring bonus, and the compatibility with other DuraFlex components makes application simple. That's why, for overall function and cost-effectiveness, homeowners have a tough time finding a better venting solution than a DuraFlex SS Stainless Steel Chimney Liner.

Let me begin by saying that I am not being blackmailed by a CEO. I don't even think I exist on the radar of any CEO, much less be the target of his or her felonious behavior. But you might be.
I'm not talking about blackmail in the traditional sense, which usually involves photographs or fingerprints. I'm talking about the casual requests that come from CEOs or other company executives for you to take a look at their home computer or their kid's laptop. It's the kind of request that is, frankly, very difficult to refuse. In that sense, it is a subtle, unspoken form of blackmail.
I'm curious as to how much this really happens in the real world.
I once dated a lawyer, and I can't tell you how many times at parties, someone would corner the guy to get some free legal advice. And these were just casual acquaintances. It makes you wonder how entitled a company executive would feel getting free help from someone for whom he's already paying a salary.
So let's take a simple poll and see what we come up with.

Thomas Vermaelen is confident that Arsenal can bounce back from their Premier League defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup third round replay against Swansea on Wednesday night.
The Gunners lost 2-0 at home to Roberto Mancini's men on Sunday after Laurent Koscielny's dismissal left them with 10 men for 80 minutes in an uphill task with goals from James Milner and Edin Dzeko sealing the result before half-time.
Vermaelen and his depleted side managed to prevent any further goals and even managed to carve out a couple of chances for themselves in the second half, and though the club captain admits it was disappointing, he says that he is confident the team will respond well.
"There are a lot of big, big fixtures coming up against good teams - big games," he told the club's official website.
"This [Sunday's game] was the first one, we wanted to have a good start and that is why it is more disappointing we could not get a good result.
"But against Swansea, I am confident the group will respond on this defeat, and I'm confident we can get a result on Wednesday."
Vermaelen says he was pleased with the organisation shown from his side after they went down to 10 men, and also praised the supporters for staying behind their team in the demoralising loss.
"You know if you have 10 men you want to keep the organisation and stay in the game as long as possible," he added.
"You know it is quite hard if you play against Man City but you want to do that.
"They scored quite quickly, the first goal and the second goal, that was really disappointing. You go into half-time and then we said 'come on, we have to go for it, we're playing at home'.
"Yes [the crowd stuck with us], that's really important and I'm pleased with that.
"That can give us a massive boost that they're behind us, and they did that through the whole game. It was difficult for us because we had 10 men and for them as well but they supported us through the whole game."

While building a mobile browser website today, I came across a strange problem on my iPhone. I was building a real estate website which had the clients phone number on the page, and it had listing addresses which if they were of the right length (7 or more digits) Safari was converting them to phone number links.
Here is the original code, first is the telephone number, second is the address:

555-123-4567

111-1234 Main Street Vancouver, BC

A quick search for how to disable telephone number detection in mobile browsers offered me the following meta-tags (first one is for iOS/iPhone, second is for Blackberry):
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> <meta http-equiv="x-rim-auto-match" content="none">
After I applied this code addresses were no longer links, but neither was the clients' telephone number. Further searching turned up an HTML method of inserting telephone numbers into code that I was not aware of which is similar to the mailto format:
555-123-4567
So wrapping text or an image inside to that tag turns the telephone number into a usable link. The one drawback, not that it seems to be a real problem as there are already telephone number harvesters out there, is that this method provides a more efficient way for said harvesters to obtain phone numbers from your website.

Smoking kills. And among people with well-controlled HIV, that old slogan is even more true, researchers reported.
In a large case-control study, smokers with HIV had substantially higher rates of all-cause and non-AIDS mortality than HIV-positive nonsmokers, according to Marie Helleberg, MD, of Copenhagen University Hospital, and colleagues.
Also, HIV-infected smokers lost more life-years to smoking than to HIV-related causes, Helleberg and colleagues reported online in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
The study, carried out in Denmark, establishes the risks of smoking in a situation where HIV care is integrated and anti-retroviral therapy is available at no cost.
The bottom line, Helleberg said in a statement, is that "more than 60% of deaths among HIV patients are associated with smoking," compared with slightly more than a quarter associated with HIV.
In the general population, Helleberg and colleagues noted, smoking is one of the major factors that reduce life expectancy.
Among those with HIV, the advent of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) has meant that lifestyle factors are increasingly affecting survival, while the mortality risk associated with the virus has diminished.
To pin down the effects of smoking on people whose HIV is well controlled, the researchers turned to the Danish HIV Cohort Study, a population-based nation-wide study that includes all HIV-infected individuals treated at Danish HIV centers after Jan. 1, 1995.
They analyzed outcomes for all members of the cohort who were older than 16 when they were diagnosed, were treated between Jan. 1, 1995 and Aug. 1 2010, and had smoking status at the time of diagnosis available. Injection drug users were excluded.
All told, the researchers reported, the HIV-positive study population included 2,921 people, who were matched for sex and year of birth with up to 4 controls each – a total of 10,642 individuals -- from the prospective Copenhagen General Population Study.
The two groups were followed for 14,281 and 45,122 person-years, respectively, yielding a median follow-up time of 4.2 years for patients and 4.1 years for controls.
As expected, the HIV-positive participants smoked more heavily than the controls -- 47.4% were current smokers, 17.7% had previously smoked, and 34.9% were never smokers compared with 20.6%, 32.8%, and 46.6%, respectively among the controls.
Over the study period, there were 221 deaths in this HIV-positive cohort, including 58 (26%) related to the virus. There were also 142 deaths from non-AIDS related causes (64%). The remaining 21 deaths (10%) were attributed to violence.
Among the controls, there were 132 deaths from all causes.
When the researchers broke down the deaths by smoking status they found that all-cause mortality was substantially higher among smoking HIV patients compared with nonsmokers. The mortality rate ratio (MRR) was 4.4 (95% CI 3.0 to 6.7).
MRR for non-AIDS mortality was even higher at 5.3 (95% CI 3.2 to 8.8).
In contrast, among controls, the MRR was 3.5 (95% CI 2.2 to 5.5), when comparing current and never smokers.
The excess mortality rate per 1,000 person-years among current smokers versus non-smokers was 17.6 for HIV patients and 4.8 for controls.
A 35-year-old HIV-positive smoker had a median life expectancy of 62.6 years, compared with 69.1 years for previous smokers and 78.4 years for never-smokers.
Among never-smokers, having HIV led to 5.1 years of life lost, compared with the controls, Helleberg and colleagues found. That was greater than the 3.6 years lost when smoking controls were compared with nonsmokers.
But the greatest disparity was the 12.3 years of life expectancy lost when HIV-positive smokers were compared with HIV-positive never-smokers, they reported.
Helleberg and colleagues cautioned that it is possible that mortality among the controls was underestimated, which would tend to inflate mortality among the HIV-positive cohort.
Although the analysis accounted for a range of possible confounding factors, they added, residual confounding, and socioeconomic status in particular is likely.
The study had support from the University of Copenhagen. The journal said Helleberg reported no conflicts.

Adapting 1973-1979 F-Series Window Regulators for 1967-1972 F-Series Trucks
By John Brown (FTE user Rebocardo)
You can adapt 1973-1979 window regulators into 67-72 trucks. I just did it!
I bought the cheapest 73-79 window regulator I could find, $30, which happened to be at JCW, and it is made by Pan Asia. The reason for buying it is I just wanted that stupid little cast spur gear. I have been hunting everywhere for it to repair my windows for the past two years. The closest match I found was an electric chain saw gear, but, the angle was off just by enough to make it unworkable over the long term.
Knowing Ford, I knew they would not make a big change in tooling and I have swapped power window motors and a lot of big Bronco parts into my BII before too.
There was no way I would pay $140-$200 for a regulator when that costs more then a new door and almost 1/10 the price of the truck when it was new
The Details
First off, the 67-72 is like a solid work of art compared to the 73-79. I doubt this will last 30+ years. $140 for a new old stock is probably worth it to someone restoring a truck or keeping it another 30 years. I rather spend my money on the stuff that counts like the rubber and felt. Besides, this window is so scratched from no one taking care of the truck (no weather strips) and the door was not worth a $140+ regulator.
Second the spur gear would have worked perfectly with some tweaking, its' base was narrower so I would have had to weld the hole its end sits in and drill it out the exact size. Bushing it did not seem viable.
Plus, the stem for the crank was much longer. Putting my old regulator back together I noticed not only were the teeth badly worn on the main gear, but, a few were almost missing and it did not feel that great on a test roll.
So, I decided to adapt the 73-79.
Take all normal safety details including holding the glass and window up with wood and probably tape. SAFETY GLASSES! Make sure you release the springs properly on the regulators before you start working on them or you could be in for a finger chopping. I used channel locks and stepped over/on them in my steel toe boots. The Ford one is quite tough, much better spring.
Minimal welding skills are required.
1) Take both regulators completely apart! Grind the old arm and its edges free of rust.
2) You have to take the new base, position it about 45 degree backwards to allow it a good mounting spot on the door. It has three holes and will not fit where the older four holes are. The crank will end up in the same position. You can hold the new regulator with 1/4 bolts, 3/4 inch long max. Use self-locking nuts.
3) The only thing you are going to use on your older regulator is the arm. On the new one, only grind off the back of the main bolt as needed to punch it out since you will have to weld it back on later.
4) Get a 1/2+ inch bolt, put the new housing together with the main gear and your arm. Put it into the door and hook it up to the window. Now spin the main gear so the bottom of the gear aligns with the bottom of the housing, remember the housing is tilted now. This will allow about three extra teeth before the stop at the top. Tighten the bolt. Now mark the arm with a marker to where it is on the gear. The roller should be in the middle of the window guide.
5) Remove. Replace the main split bolt and clamp everything together, line up the arm. Now, move it just a hair or two towards where the front of the vehicle will be. This is a "cushion" to make sure it never rolls off the end of the window guide while it is in the middle of being rolled down. Do one tack weld, the metal gear will warp! Remove everything and clamp the whole thing in a vise so it is flat and do a tact weld on the other sides now. Cool with water. Remove the split bolt, replace with 1/2 inch and test. Window should move up and down freely without popping out of the track/off the roller. Remove.
6) Now replace the split bolt. Line up the regulator in the up position and make sure the split on the bolt lines up down the middle of the arm. Clamp the nut so it is flush against the body and it should be just about flush with the arm. Start by filling in the two holes on the backside of the bolt. Chip away slag. Then reweld the whole thing so it looks like a rivet. Heat sink the formed sheet metal with a big metal clamp so it does not warp. The gold bolt will turn a nice gray, so you know its hot. Cool off with water.
On my HH135 I used a #2 setting and 10 for the wire speed. I did a few test runs on the old stuff to get the heat right. Another test fit.
7) Now rivet back the spur gear. Taking a suggestion from here I drilled a hole at the very top of the housing to squirt grease through. Whoever made that suggestion THANK YOU!
My suggestion, remove the spring and position the leg that would be at the backside directly behind the hole. It gives the grease a clear shot into that little housing once the spur gear is back in. Make sure the drilled hole is at the top when placing the spur gear housing back.
I did the factory rivets from the back and added two more in from the front so the housing is solid and clamped from both sides. I used aluminum so I can drill them out easier to replace the spur gear if I need to.
You can reuse your handle, the new screw is a bit too wide and the old one is not right. When there is light tomorrow I will figure it out.
One mistake I made. The window can be pressed down if you push hard enough, though the handle now rotates. I guess I got the spring backwards, easy enough to fix. I thought the logic was to have all the spring pressure when it was at the bottom so rolling it up was easy. I guess it is better to have it under tension when it is at the top. All it takes is swapping the spring around.
It is not "factory", but, $30 and some welding skills and you have a new window regulator with easily sourced parts. I had thought about doing a junk yard one, but, I really wanted the name of the place that makes the regulators and gears should I could contact them directly.
I had thought about keeping this a little secret and selling refurbs on E-Bay, but, so many people have been so good to me including that guy that sent me those needed really needed door jamb brackets (free!) for my light switches, I just could not wait to share this with everyone.

As a public defender in Georgia, Travis Williams is used to giving free legal advice.
Williams gave some more to an audience at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where a documentary in which he is featured, "Gideon's Army," debuted Monday.

Also, most of them have cooperated with police allowing a search of their home or car, or telling "some version of the truth" in the vain hope that it will get them freed.
