Developing a work ethic AKA getting my pathetic self in gear
December 09, 2004, 10:23:00 AM »
Once again I'm calling on the CG and OO communities, you've been there for me before, and now I need you guys again.
I have a problem, and sadly I'm being serious about this. I have no work ethic, or any sort of willpower to work towards my greater good.
Finals week for this semester has made me realize how pathetic I am. As of right now, I have 1 3D animation and 2 paintings due on Wednesday next week, 1 3 page report due on Monday.
All I got done the last two days I had completely free was to sketch in the lines for one of my paintings, and that alone took a lot of willpower on my part. What's worse is that I was already on academic probation, if I mess this up even a little I'll get booted out of college. It's been this way for much of my life.
Not only that, my entire life is kinda of failure. Still at home at 23 and looking to stay that way for another year at least. My art career has gone no where because despite being able to animate, my drawing skill is below mediocre (not practicing at all). Did I also mention I'm in debt?
I have been working, so I'm not all bad, but the store I last worked at closed due to rent increase right after everyone had hired for the holidays. I've also got one good semester's worth of animation and several good drawings and stories from my life, but overall it's not much and none of it is more recent than a semester ago.
Sometimes I just sit in my chair not doing anything, even when I know there's something I need to do. It's like I'm afraid to do it and I just can't will myself to even start. I think I'm depressed, and I've always said to myself that I could work through it, but now I'm considering asking for meds if it'll help. Anyway, I don't know what kind of deep rooted (or shallow) psychological problems I have, but I just don't have the time for it.
So I'm throwing my pathetic ass to the masses for whatever help or abuse I need to get myself in gear. I still want to reach my goal of becoming an animator/illustrator, and I definitely don't want to become one of those people that never do something with their lives.

Sounds like you have my problem, procrastination mixed with laziness. The less you have to do the less you do, if that makes sense.
What works for me is to make an un-schedule. I don't set dates and times, but I set things up in advance for when I get around to actually doing the task. For example, bill paying - I always put my bills in the same place on the table with pens, checks, stamps, etc. also right there. Then when I decide to pay bills at the spur of the moment it's all right there for me to go at it instead of trying to find all the extras I need.
It's not so much about being organized than prepared. You know you have to do stuff, but you don't want to do it right now, so get set up for when you'll want to do it later!
Grocery lists are another good example. When I go to the store I don't have to try to rember what I need because in my kitchen there is a pen and paper right where I can immediately write down things I've run out of. Then all I have to do (when I get around to going to the store) is grab the list and I'm ready to shop.
Turn yourself into a Boy Scout. Be Prepared.
So instead of being a borderline OCD patient (which is probably my other recourse) I plan ahead bit by bit and when I'm ready to do something I can't blow it off because I have to do all this other stuff first so that I can do what I originally intended.

A great medicine you should try is one that Dennis Leary talked about:
"Shut the !@#$ UP"
Which basically means get off your lazy ass and do what needs to be done.
I'm not trying to be an ass but from your post it sounds like to me that you really need to growup and get off your lazy ass. Your 23 not 12.
Nobody enjoys work/school/life all the time and we all have to do stuff that we do not want to do.

It took me a little while in college to figure out the proper "method" for me.
First- make sure the material you are studying actually engages you. I majored in Electrical Engineering for over two years and didn't enjoy it all. Going to classes, studying, everything was a chore and I was completely unmotivated. It got so bad one semester I came close to losing my Navy scholarship. Then, one day in my junior year, my dad asked me "So are you really enjoying your major?" When I told him I didn't but felt an obligation to carry through he shocked me by suggesting I look into changing my major to a field I was interested in. A little bit of research and help from my college counselors showed that I could change my major to Industrial and Systems Engineering, a field I was much more interested in, and still graduate in five years.
The difference was night and day. All of a sudden I really enjoyed going to class, studying, projects- the works.
I also changed my work ethic- I treated college like a job. I didn't try to get late morning or afternoon classes to sleep in. Instead I got up every morning between 6 and 7 am and started "work" which was either attending classes or studying. I wouldn't let myself have any leisure time until my "work" for the day was done. Some days that meant by 3pm I could relax the rest of the day but other times it was 2am before I stopped for the day.
Also important- keeping busy. My worst semester was when I only took 12 credit hours. Since I had so few credit hours I wasn't in the habit of working so it was that much more painful for me when I tried. Once I took 18 hours or more I was so busy that it really helped me focus on my studies.
The end result- I was Dean's List my last 2.5 years of college with a nearly 4.0 average.

I agree with two points in this thread.
First: GET BUSY! I'm exactly the same way when I'm not busy. I waste days and days just doing absolutely nothing. But when I am busy... I get busy.
Second, major in something you enjoy. I didn't realize how important this is before.When I first went to college, I went to a technical college and majored in business management. And I hated all the classes I had. I HATED math, and hated all the technical classes I took. Honestly, I realized I was in the wrong place. It got so bad that I flunked not one but TWO classes. I had time to withdraw though, so my GPA was spared, thank god. But after that, I transferred to another, more conventional liberal arts college, and am now majoring in philosophy. And loving it. The classes actually engage me, and I actually want to take part in the discussions.
Think about it, if you hate your current major, what makes you think you'll like your job?

I'll second Raven - find something you like... you'll motivate yourself.
A couple of similar situations have occurred/are occurring in my family.
First, my wife was in retail management (over 2 or 3 jobs) for countless years, and was getting to the point that she was pleading (literally!) " Don't make me go to work today". Well - she got an invite from a relative to come work at a local doctor's office as a medical assistant (OJT, plus the doctor would send her to any needed classes for certifications). She's been there over 5 years now, and I can count on one hand minus the thumb, the number of times that she hasn't felt like going in. She even feels guilty when she can't go in to work due to illness! :shock: Looks like she found HER niche. Heh.
Now, I myself am to the point she was at 5 years ago... basically burned out, only going to work because of the paycheck, and loathing every minute that I have to put in. My job situation is different, however. I've been at my job going on 15 years (local law enforcement, assigned to corrections) and, being a govt. job, the pay and bennies aren't bad. The worst thing about the job isn't the job itself, but the enviroment - the backstabbing, having the boss (county Sheriff) literally cuss everyone out when everyone is sworn in again after he's re-elected, contract negotiations that NEVER have run less that 6 months - usually 8 to 10 - and always end up going to an arbitrator (over only a 1 or 2 percent raise - and our county is one of the richest ones in Ohio), sheesh - I could go on for pages. The only reason I've stayed even this long is that I've been unable to put away enough funds to keep afloat until my retirement cash-out would come in (about 3 months). The oportunity has finally presented itself that I'll be able to bail out before the end of '05, and cursed be he that stands between me and the door when that time comes! I haven't decided yet just what line of work I'll go into yet, but finances will allow me a little leeway - at least for a year or so - to find something. It isn't very often that a person gets the chance for a fresh start in life, and I'm counting myself lucky that this happened while I'm still young enough to partake.
To conclude this long-winded post...
Don't force yourself into something you don't really like, hoping that you'll grow into it - you'll just be miserable, and left wondering what you could have done with all the time you wasted finding that fact out. Sure, doing what you like to do is fun, but when you are forced to do it, it becomes a chore. Take a step back and look at the "big picture"... sometimes you'll see that there's another - more pleasant - path that you can take.
Hope you can make some sense of my ramblings, Turtle.

I'm one of those people who does well when I have alot to do and does about nothing when there isn't much going on.
My first three years of college I was working 20 hours a week and taking 14-17 credits a semester. I was flying along with a 3.6 GPA which isn't to bad.
Well one day my boss said that they didn't need me anymore and I decided that since I was in my last year of school I should just concentrate on school instead of getting another job. Big mistake! I started failing half of my classes and now I am in my 5th year of school.
For whatever reason I do great when I have a job but I can't bring myself to do school if its the only thing going on in my life.

cory off-white mass on back of dorsal, adipose, and anal fin
I have been watching a female bronze cory for some time because I noticed she had a white to off-white mass on the back of her adipose fin. This mass appeared to enlarge when she was ready to lay eggs and in time it would deflate but leave behind a small structure that appeared to be a casing with a yellowish color, and later it would re-enlarge around matting time. In my two months of observation this process has re-occured 2 times and she has had 2 egg laying sessions in that time. She has never had a lack of appetite but is rather shy. I began to get worried when I put 10 of her babies in the same tank with her (55 gallon) and I began seeing signs on them. With the babies the growth seems to be attaching itself on the back sides of their adipose, dorsal, and anal fins. Anyone have any ideas of what this might be, and any possible treatment options? I have included a still shot and a video of one of the more affected babies, along with a couple still shot of the female cory.
note: all parameters normal: pH 7, kH 7 drops, ammonia none, nitrite none, nitrate minimal. Tank would probably fit a description of being moderately planted. Tank mates include 20 tetras, 10 harlequin, 1 dwarf gourami, 5 ammano shrimp, 2 Gardneri Mamfensis Mfuni CSK95-5 fry, 2 cherry shrimp, 10 ghost shrimp, 2 bristlenose plecos, 2 assasin snails, and around 50 malaysian trumpet snails. I feed them 2x a day with flake food, once a day microworms, and black worms. This mass seems to only target the corys.

note the white streaks in the photos and in the video are the microworms.

update: after unsuccessfully dosing with Marcyn I, Maracyn II, and Maroxy and spending ~$100 on those treatments I started to give up, figuring it was probably something that was genetic and nothing to worry about.
I added some marbled hatchets to the tank to get some more fish to hang out in the upper sector of the water column. However that species of fish is evidently very sensitive to light changes and so my timer kept them freaking out for hours at a time(5xs a day).
All the new activity scared all of the other residents and put everyone on edge. As time progressed I noticed an outbreak of ich so I got rid of the hatchets and began treatment. after the first day of treatment with the tetra ich guard I saw a little improvement in the white fluffy spots. After around 4 days of treatment with the ich medicine I am seeing noticeable decline of the spots (on the older specimens it has disappeared completely and on the younger guys it has "deflated" to half their size).

Glad to hear it sounds like you got the ick under control.
Do you have a quarantine tank? It usually helps when you get new fish to watch them for any diseases and treat it separately before adding to your main tank. I myself acquired a 5gal for that purpose after a new fish I put into my tank came down with ick - I had to treat for a while and couldn't add any new fish for a whilel.
My females do the same thing. IIRC i read that weather/dojo loaches get the same type of "blobs".read that it was a buildup / storage of fats.
whatever it is mine get them off and on and have been for close to two years and have never lost any of them so i wouldnt worry about it too much.
+1 to a quarantine tank and ide recommend not doing with meds like that without knowing what the ailment is. it can possibly lead to other problems in the tank

International Women's Day (IWD) is a time to celebrate the progress that women have achieved over 100 years after the day's inception. It is also a time to be clear on the action needed to address the new challenges facing women and girls in the 21st century.
This year on IWD, IDF is calling for renewed action on one of the major challenges to women's health and development worldwide – diabetes and the related non-communicable disease (NCD) epidemic. Currently a staggering 181 million women are living with diabetes worldwide and that number is rising every year. Increasingly these women are of reproductive age and live in low- and middle-income countries, many of whom have no access to care, remain undiagnosed and too often endure life threatening pregnancy complications.
Collectively, NCDs - namely cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes – are the leading cause of death in women globally. The impact of these diseases in women is profound and goes beyond their own health. Husbands are losing wives, and children are losing mothers. Families across the world incur debt and destitution when mothers become disabled by NCDs and struggle to pay for treatment. Every case is a personal tragedy and collectively the high cost of NCDs in terms of healthcare and lost productivity threatens to undermine gains made to date in other areas of development and health.
As a pioneer in women and diabetes and a leader in the women and NCDs movement, the International Diabetes Federation is making a difference for girls and women worldwide. We have already demonstrated our leadership around these issues in three important ways.
Firstly, we pledged an ambitious commitment to the UN's Every Woman Every Child Initiative, which is an unprecedented global movement that mobilises partners to address the major health challenges facing women and children around the world. IDF made a promise to "increase recognition of the linkages between diabetes and related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and women and children's health, support the integration of diabetes into existing health systems and maternal and new-born child health initiatives, and empower girls and women to prevent diabetes in current and future generations". We are serious about this commitment, and are already seeing progress.
Secondly, we demonstrated our leadership by securing global political commitments for women living with or at risk of NCDs. We did this through the UN High-Level Summit on NCDs in September 2011. Through our effective advocacy with the UN and Member States, the Summit resulted in the adoption of the Political Declaration which signals that governments finally understand women disproportionately shoulder the burden of NCDs and the care giving role. The Declaration also recognises that maternal and child health is inextricably linked with NCDs, and advocates for integrated programmes across infectious, maternal and new-born children health and NCDs, as well as gender responsive approaches. This was a major step forward, both in terms of political recognition and commitments for action to improve the health of girls and women worldwide.
Finally and most recently, IDF has celebrated the launch of its Women in India with GDM Strategy (WINGS). This is IDF's first-ever project to tackle the rising incidence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in India. According to recent estimates, up to 17.7% of women in India have Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and many of those will go on to develop type 2 diabetes after child birth.
The WINGS pilot project aims to develop a Model of Care for GDM which can feasibly be implemented in a low resource setting. It is a joint collaboration between IDF and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, an IDF Centre of Education, managed by Dr V Mohan. The work takes place in health centres in Chennai and rural centres in the surrounding areas.WINGS will be piloted in India before being evaluated and rolled-out in other low and middle income countries.
Today on IWD, IDF is celebrating the increasing global political momentum for both girl's and women's health, and diabetes and NCDs. However, our work is only just beginning. We now need to work together – across the UN, governments, the private sector and civil society - to ensure these commitments translate into action. We all have a role to play, and only by working in partnerships will we begin to see real change for global health and the millions of women, girls, men and boys we serve.

Symposium will inaugurate new materials institute, Oct. 21-22
Posted October 14, 2004; 10:20 p.m.
Leading researchers in fields from electrical engineering to architecture are scheduled to speak at the inaugural symposium of the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials ( PRISM ) Thursday and Friday Oct. 21-22.The symposium will take place in 101 Friend Center and is free and open to the public with advance registration. Seating at meals is subject to availability. President Shirley M. Tilghman, PRISM director James Sturm and engineering dean Maria Klawe will deliver opening remarks beginning at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
An international group of scientists from academia and industry will give technical talks about cutting-edge research on subjects ranging from nanotechnology to "frozen light." Structural engineer Guy Nordenson, professor architecture at Princeton, will speak on "Structural Improvisations on Materials" at a banquet dinner Thursday evening.
Princeton created PRISM last year, merging the strengths of two previous organizations, the Princeton Materials Institute and the Center for Photonic and Optoelectronic Materials. Research at the combined institute is highly interdisciplinary and spans from theoretical work to experimental research conducted in partnership with industry.
The symposium will be Webcast live; for viewing information, visit the WebMedia page.

IDF and our partners in the Non-Communicable Disease Alliance (NCDA) have brought together expert thinking and practical experience of NCDs and their common risk factors to draw up a detailed programme of action which we believe UN Member States should consider as a template for a strong Outcomes Document. The NCD Alliance's Proposed Outcomes Document contains 34 carefully considered recommendations – ranging from prevention, diagnosis and treatment to resources, leadership and monitoring - that we believe should be the basis of the political response to diabetes and the related NCDs.
We believe that global action should aim to reduce NCD deaths by at least 2 per cent per year and we are calling for a UN Decade of Action on NCDs to ensure action is sustained and remains high on political agendas.
IDF is leading a global campaign to ensure the UN Summit on NCDs produces the most effective outcomes for the global diabetes community. To date, our Diabetes Roadmap Programme for the UN Summit has had an impressive impact on preparations for the UN Summit by producing powerful advocacy publications, mobilising our 200 member associations in 160 countries to bridge global advocacy to the local level, and keeping diabetes visible within the broader NCD platform. Now, as we get closer to the Summit, we need your help to put our compelling case to influencers and political decision makers in your country and convince them to take coordinated and concerted action.
IDF has produced an Advocacy Toolkit to help our member associations and those wider stakeholders who support our advocacy to campaign locally and nationally, calling the world to action for diabetes.

What breaks your heart? The hungry. The sick. The lonely. The forgotten.
For me, it breaks my heart to know that slavery still exists. To trick a person with a misleading promise. To order them to sell their body or work for free. To give them a number instead of a name. My heart not only breaks, but it ignites.
An organization called, Love 146 is "celebrating broken hearts that change the world." Love 146 does more than make ripples, it prevents, educates, and restores children sold into sex slavery. Love 146 liberates children.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
How do you define love? Saint Valentine's love was defiant. He secretly performed marriage rituals for single men. These men could stay with their loved ones, instead of going to war for a cause they didn't believe in.
How do you celebrate love? Chocolate hearts. Roses. Candlelight dinners. Expand your celebration of love to include the broken hearted.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller
Share Gifts of Love to the Broken Hearted:
1. Gift a Donation – Honor a loved one alive or deceased with a donation. Be inspired by others. Honor their passion for the broken hearted. Give the gift of a donation with an e-card or a sweetheart gift.
2. Light a Memory Candle – Remember those who have fought to abolish slavery. The lit candle symbolizes a safe place. Join freedom fighters and light the way to safety.
3. Host a Fundraiser – If you are an event planner, host a local fundraiser for your favorite charity. Share your broken heart with others. Raise donations with an art auction, a comedy, or a fast. (More event ideas.)
4. Purchase Survivor-Made Gifts – Survivors of slavery are taught to secure safe employment. Many survivors make their own jewelry, bags, and gifts. Help prevent human trafficking in high risk communities.
5. Educate with Apparel – Share stories of modern day slavery with apparel: Free The Girls & Love 146, Sales go to free a slave. People will ask. Share the meaning and opportunity we each have to liberate.
6. Support Safe Jobs – For Ladies Only. Your underwear draw can give a rescued slave a job. Donate your bras to "Free the Girls."
7. Make a Monthly Donation – Set up an automatic donation out of your checking account. Just $25 a month will help a liberated slave have a safe home, therapy, medical care, nutrition, and an education.
8. Blog About Your Passion – Create your own "Broken Heart Club." Ignite your heart. Pursue your passion. Share your story on your blog.
Link back to this post, so we can start a wave of love. Share small steps for world change. Together, we can give someone a temporary home to mend their hearts and bodies. How many can we reach with our love gifts?

A poorly defined plan is bad by definition. It doesn't meet the core requirements of 'plan'.
I dont see one good solution here.
How about going home?
He requested a good solution. If you don't understand the obvious ways in which that won't work
Or even that using drones instead of soldiers kills less civilians. Care to guess how many civilians die if we have to invade Pakistan with the army instead of calling in a drone? The historical ratio for conventional military invasion is something like 100 times worse in terms of killing civilians.
I think your unstated assumption that this would increase empathy for the victims is mistaken. Higher realism in games has been on a pretty consistent trend of reducing empathy for the victims.
Than all other forms of combat. If we're going to kill terrrorists, there's no less civilian killing way to do it (currently).
Well, no, 'your property' is pretty much the opposite of 'public'.
Research studies.
They really wouldn't. Random hookups at a bar rarely involve a person who has sex with more than a dozen or so partners per year. The really good prostitutes could push a thousand.
No threat of bodily harm is the main problem. That threat is present in virtually all prostitution, even the kind where the threat is kept secret from the johns.
So since drinking lots of alcohol is legal and driving a car is legal then drink driving should be legal? Voltaire is correct but the absurdity here is your argument.
Drinking is legal. Driving is legal. Having had drinks prior to driving is also legal, up to a limit. That's because after that limit you're a danger to yourself and also society. How is having sex a danger to society?
Well, the most obvious answer would seem to be spread of disease.
Or stuffing someone in a large room
Stuffing animals is legal but there are laws against taxidermy on people.
I wondered why that wasn't a more popular choice than burial or cremation. TMYK, thanks!
Maybe you should try publicly assaulting someone in the US where violence is OK, and compare how those things turn out.
If you don't know, I really recommend having sex. Or maybe sex with a more skilled partner.
Prostitution is controlled on a state by state basis in the US, it is NOT universally illegal. The separation of powers between states and federal government is a big deal here that burns a lot of court $$$ in figuring out who gets to decide what.

- ADMiSSeS is sick, and that is *not* good. :(
Found a not-so slight problem with my research database (which I'm using as a prototype for a project I intend to release under the GPL later). Fixing it will likely break the 1 kloc of SQL I've already written to do my thesis calcs, but...
So far, the main data table's been fixed, but all of the tables linking to it have to be updated. Rather than tempting fate and trying to fix everything at once (while hungry and distracted), I decided to take a few hours off and go downtown. Walking through my usual haunts just north of downtown usually clears my head. Had dinner downtown at a little deli, bought a book of poetry (a first) written by a friend (his first book), then headed up to the grad pub for an hour and read. David O'Meara's Storm Still is a wonderful book, btw (insert shameless plug here).
Alas, it looks like tonight is a wash for database work. I've had a couple of pints of beer this eve (Hey, do I turn down a friend offering a pint of Guiness?? I think not! :) and coming in the door tonight, my housemate hands me a glass of Jamaican rum.
So much for productivity.
Given that DROP TABLE queries don't forgive, I'm off to bed to sleep off this feeling, and perhaps I'll find tomorrow a better and productive day. My copy of Desai's Intro to DBMS awaits.

File a Complaint
To begin the complaint process, download the complaint form, complete it, and mail it to the contact person and address specified on the form.
What happens after a disciplinary complaint is filed?
- Upon receipt of a complaint, the Office will review the complaint to determine if:
- the professional activity requires a person to be licensed, certified, or registered;
- the person being complained about is licensed, certified, or registered;
- the complaint could be considered unprofessional conduct based on the laws and rules related to the profession.
- If one or more of the three criteria above are not met, the complainant will be notified that this is not within the jurisdiction of the regulating body.
- If all three criteria are met, a case is opened and a case file number is assigned. This case file number will appear on all correspondence sent from this office about the complaint. If you contact this office, please refer to your case file number.
- A letter may be sent to the complainant indicating that the Office has received the complaint and has opened a case.
- A letter may be sent to the licensee (we refer to the licensee as the "respondent") indicating a complaint has been made. A copy of the complaint information will also be sent to the respondent.
- The case will be assigned to an investigative team. The investigative team is made up of:
- a case manager,
- a staff investigator,
- a board member or advisor, and
- a prosecuting attorney.
- The complainant and respondent may be contacted by an investigator. Other people with knowledge of the complaint may also be contacted. The investigator will obtain copies of written documentation, and records relevant to the complaint.
- The investigative team will then review the investigator's findings and prepare a recommendation. If the recommendation is to close the case without disciplinary action, it is submitted to the board or the director. If the recommendation is to pursue disciplinary action, the prosecuting attorney will prepare formal charges.
- The investigatory process above usually takes between six to nine months to complete. If a decision is made to pursue discipline through formal charges and a hearing, this process can take an additional five to ten months, depending on the complexity of the case.
- Although hearings and disciplinary actions are public, the investigative process is entirely confidential. If the decision is to pursue disciplinary action against the respondent, however, the names of the persons involved may become public. If the decision is to close the investigation without disciplinary action, the complaint and information collected will remain confidential.
- Complaint investigations focus on licensure and fitness of the licensee to practice. Disciplinary action, when warranted, ranges from warning to revocation of license, based on the violations and circumstances. From this process, a complainant should not expect a return of fees paid or additional unpaid services as a result. If you seek restitution of this nature, consider consulting with the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General, seeing an attorney, or filing a case in small claims court.
- At any time if you have questions you should feel free to contact the case manager assigned to your case.

Israel is a small country, and it is therefore easy to get from one place to another in a relatively short time. Public transportation is convenient, and you can get to almost any destination for a reasonable price.
Israel Railways operates convenient, inexpensive train service. It is also possible to travel by taxi, but this is more expensive, particularly for inter-city trips. It's therefore preferable to use shared service taxis.
Several companies provide domestic flights between Eilat and Ben Gurion Airport, Sde Dov Airport in north Tel Aviv, or Haifa, but these flights are more expensive.
Buses are the most popular form of public transport in Israel for both local transport and intercity trips. The Egged bus company operates most of the intercity bus lines, as well as the local service in most of the large cities and towns. Local and intercity transport in the Gush Dan area (Tel Aviv and the surrounding suburbs) is provided by the Dan bus company. Bus service in Be'er Sheva and Nazareth is provided by private companies. The fare for all bus lines is reasonable, the busses are comfortable and usually airconditioned, and there is regular, frequent service.
Tickets can be purchased at the ticket booths in the central bus station in each city or town, or from the driver. Most of the bus lines do not run on Shabbat or on Jewish holidays. Service ends on Friday afternoon and resumes Saturday evening.
Students are entitled to discounts on intercity bus lines. To receive a discount they must present an international student card when purchasing tickets.
Egged Customer Service and Information: *2800
Egged WebsiteEgged is a prime bus company in Israel and provides intercity public bus service throughout the country. Passengers can obtain information about the various bus lines on the Egged website or by phoning the computerized customer service and information center. Each central bus station has an information booth and electronic boards displaying the departure times and destinations.
Dan Customer Service and Information: 00 972 3 639 4444
Dan WebsiteThe Dan Bus Company operates public bus service in the Gush Dan area (Tel Aviv and the surrounding suburbs) and in Yehuda and Shomron. Passengers can obtain information about the various bus lines on the Website or from the computerized customer service and information center.
Information: *5100
Metrodan Website The Metrodan company operates public bus service in the southern city of Be'er Sheba. Passengers can obtain information about the various bus lines on the Website or from the computerized customer service and information center.
Nazareth Transport & Tourism NTT Website(is in Hebrew only)
Operates inter-city lines in the north, covering Nazareth, Haifa, Karmiel and villages in the Galilee, and international lines to Amman (Jordan) and Sinai (Egypt).
United Nazareth Buses UNBS Website
Active in public transportation in the Nazareth metropolitan area.
Provides urban and inter-city lines in the northern area between Zefat and Nahariya and the central area between Hadera and Netanya. On January 2007 the company won a tender for routes between the cities of Tel Aviv and Netanya.
Israel Railways Customer Service and Information: 00 972 77 232-4000 or *5770
Israel Railways WebsiteIsrael Railways has expanded and improved the train service in recent years. Trains run more frequently to more destinations, there are more train stations in the major cities, and the trains are more comfortable.
Students and senior citizens can receive discounts by showing a student card or ID.
Because of heavy traffic on many of the roads, travel by train is recommended whenever possible. Trains run from Tel Aviv to most of the large cities from Nahariya in the north to Dimona in the south, including Jerusalem and Ben Gurion airport.
Train tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth or vending machine at the station. Seats can also be reserved in advance.
There is refreshment service that includes hot and cold drinks, snacks, and sandwiches on most trains.
Trains do not run on Shabbat or on Jewish holidays.
Telephone: 00 972 4 837 6861
Carmelit Website The Haifa Carmelit is the only subway system in Israel. It runs from Paris Square in the lower city, and stops at five other stations including the Hadar business center, and ends at Gan Ha-Em in Merkaz Ha-Carmel.
Israel is a small country, and for this reason it is only worthwhile to consider flying between Eilat and Tel Aviv. Several companies operate flights from Eilat to Ben Gurion Airport, or Sde Dov in north Tel Aviv. Airfares are reasonable, but are still much higher than bus fares.
There are also private companies that operate special flights from anywhere in the country upon request.

Renting a Car
Most international car rental companies and local companies have offices in the large cities and at Ben Gurion Airport. It is recommended to reserve a car in advance from abroad.
To rent a car in Israel the driver must be over 24 years of age, and must hold a valid international driver's license and an international credit card.
Driving in Israel is on the right-hand side of the road. Israel has an extensive road system and clear signage in most places (in Hebrew, English, and Arabic). It is a little more difficult to find your way in the large cities, but streets and roads are marked, and you can use a map, GPS or ask for directions.
Most Rent a Car companies do not offer insurance for the areas in the West Bank under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Tourists wishing to drive with rented cars into the areas of the Palestinian Authority are recommended to secure appropriate insurance.

Philips MCI900 Streamium numerous faulty
Hello everybody!
So, as proud as i could be, i recently bought myself a new soundsystem from Philips, obviously.
To my surprise, it has encountered numerous faults. I will describe the errors more thoroughly, but as the system is now the faults are:
Flickering on the UI-Screen
Software lag.
Massive freezing.
This post is pointed out to other consumers with the same problem, and for the support team for help.(sadly i doubt there will be any, seeing that when i called the support center today, they weren't able to help me out, and they were lacking of severe expertise.) Anyway. the problems that i have encountered is, in detail:
Flickering on the UI-Screen, this occurs when the system is playing sound, and when i navigate through the D-Pad physically on the stereo. Not much more to say about it. it seem to me to be a bad connection to the board internally in the device, or it might be the connection on the screen itself.
There is a slight software-lag, nothing much to complain about, but the lag is almost never consistent. Its almost like it could take half a second to respond contra 1 second at the next click, not to be complaining.
When interacting with "Internet Radio" "WIFI Music Streaming(Android based)" "Spotify" the system often completely freezes up. This is actually a dealbreaker for me, when first reviewing the soundsystem in the store, i was astonished, not kidding. But the moment i took it home, it was like prematurely ejaculating, great expectations, embarrassing, but somewhat satisfied.
If you have any tips and tricks on how to fix this, please let me know. And it would be much appreciated if the support team could look this up. And yes, i have reset the device to factory settings, and set it up all over again. it also has the latest firmware. which in my opinion is a little old now. Philips should start renewing their software soon, since this could simply be a software error. I am 2 days in on this new product, and i would really like to get this fixed as soon as possible.
Sincerely TS

thermometers are both an environmental and a health and safety problem.
Broken thermometers are a potential source on injury from the broken
glass, as well as a chemical hazard from the mercury in the thermometer.
This event will offer an opportunity for citizens to replace used
mercury thermometers with battery-operated digital thermometers,
provided by the sponsoring organizations. The digital thermometers
will be available to the public at no cost, in exchange for used
mercury thermometers. Residents may bring in as many used thermometers
to exchange as they wish from family, friends or neighbors.
Please do not bring outdoor thermometers with red liquid. They
do not contain mercury, which is silver-colored. Thermometers with
red liquid (colored alcohol) can be placed in your household trash.
For safety while transporting the thermometers, please bring them
in their storage cases. If the case is not available or the thermometer
is broken, the thermometer can be brought in a 12-ounce plastic
water bottle with a screw-cap lid.
This exchange is limited to mercury thermometers from households;
other type of mercury-containing waste such as old non-digital thermostats,
barometers, manometers and other household mercury waste or devices
should be brought to the Knoxville Household Hazardous Waste Center,
where it will be accepted for disposal during business hours. The
Household Hazardous Waste Center is free to residents of Knox County
and City of Knoxville residents only and is located at 1033 Elm
Street. The Center does not accept material from businesses, or
residents from out side Knox County. Additional information about
the Knoxville Household Hazardous Waste Center is available at 865-215-6700
or www.cityofknoxville.org/solidwaste/hazwaste.asp.
Mercury has many toxic effects in the body. If a thermometer is
broken and not properly cleaned up, tiny droplets of mercury can
evaporate over time. When mercury vapor is inhaled, it enters the
blood and can damage the brain, spinal cord, kidneys and liver.
Children and fetuses are at special risk. Swallowing or touching
mercury metal is not nearly as toxic; thus if a broken thermometer
is cleaned up properly and promptly people will not be harmed.
In the environment, mercury falls with rain and snow, contaminating
lakes and streams and accumulating in the bodies of fish and wildlife.
Natural processes can convert mercury into methylmercury, an even
more dangerous form of the metal.
Mercury was used for many years in thermometers designed for household
use because no alternatives were available. However, this is no
longer the case today. In July 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics
issued a policy statement about the health effects of mercury, and
urged doctors and parents to stop using mercury thermometers and
to dispose of them properly.
Parents are especially encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity
to safely dispose of a household hazard and replace it with a safe
substitute for free. Small children can easily break thermometers
and they find the shiny drops of mercury fascinating.
In the event a mercury thermometer breaks, the public is reminded
that they should NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the mercury.
It can make tiny droplets in the air, increasing the problem and

Survive the new frontier in Starhawk on PlayStation 3 with these handy hints from developer, LightBox Interactive.
Online allies
Working as a team in Starhawk on PS3 is absolutely critical to having a real shot at winning. If you try to fly solo, you will fail. Teamwork, is paramount to coming out on top, so be sure to find yourself a good squad.
For the love of God - RUN
Press the R2 button on your wireless controller to run. Do it all the time. Never, ever, walk around. Run, run and run. Otherwise you are a sitting duck. You have been warned.
Radio days
In Starhawk it's absolutely imperative that you use your Wireless Stereo Headset as a means of communication with your teammates. Trust us, you'll last a whole lot longer. Be sure to encourage your friends to use their headsets too so you can all work together for the best kind of Starhawk experience.
Enemy mine
The mines in Starhawk are magnetic, which means you can attach them to your Hawk or Razorback vehicles. Once they are attached, and if you can get close enough to an enemy Hawk or Razorback, the mine will automatically stick to your opponent.
Wall spam, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing
If you place a lot of walls on a map using the Build and Battle system, they have a tendency to suck up a lot of space. Be sure to place walls on a map intelligently by looking for potential bottlenecks. It's very tempting to build walls as they are relatively cheap to construct in the game, but stand firm and avoid spamming the battlefield with unwanted clutter.
Tear it down
You can sell and remove most buildings on the map by using the yellow control panel found on each structure. Simply approach the panel, choose Remove from the options menu and down it comes.
Bite the hand that feeds
If you ever come across a player on the Starhawk battlefield with a handle that begins with LBI or SONY, it's us. So go ahead and try and take us out. We want you to. Really, we do.
So, what are you waiting for? Put these great tips to use on the PlayStation 3 battlefield and get blasting on Starhawk now.

Micah had left a key under their doormat for us, so we dumped our packs in their apartment and walked around Pacific Beach for a few hours. Pacific Beach has everything. There are several thrift shops, a million places to eat and drink, at least 5 tattoo parlors, smoke shops, clothing stores, a Trader Joe's, and just about anything else you could possibly want. All of this is within 3-4 blocks of the Pacific Ocean on one side, and Mission Bay on the other. Becky and I walked around the main drag, then along the beach (they have a paved walkway next to the beach that is the answer to the East Coast "boardwalk"), and then we found a place that had $1.50 fish tacos
We finally wandered back to Micah and Keith's apartment and met up with them - we hadn't seen them since the last time we were out here many years ago. A couple of friends of theirs showed up and we all went out for cheesesteaks and beer. A note on food in California - it's common knowledge of easterners that most pizza sucks in California, the general concensus being that the water just isn't the same out here and therefore the dough just doesn't taste the same. I was told that the cheesesteak place where we ate actually flies their bread out here from Philadelphia - and it was a damn good cheesesteak. After dinner we went out for a few pitchers of beer, where I proceeded to drink a tiny bit too much and then began insisting that it wouldn't be a big deal to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from North to South (apparently the weather would be absolutely horrific if you did that, which I couldn't understand in my inebriated state).
We've spent 2 more days here, eating delicious food (they have awesome mexican food here and you can get beef heart kebabs from a Peruvian restaurant that are outstanding, for example), walking around, and just hanging out in general - very relaxing. The weather tends to be very nice during the day, and it gets pretty chilly at night - I really like long pants and fleece jacket weather, so I'm definitely a fan even if it doesn't snow
Tonight is our last night in the country. Tomorrow morning Keith has offerred to take us to the airport at 5:30 am to catch our 7am flight to Cabo, where we have hostel reservations for 2 nights. After that, we begin our trek across Mexico on our way through Central America. Tonight we had a Roast Chicken feast prepared by Keith. It was our second Thanksgiving-like dinner, with cranberry, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and asparagus - outstanding.
It's been really great hanging out with Micah and Keith and their friends because they do a LOT of hiking and camping, so we were able to talk with them about our upcoming adventure and get a lot of good advice and insight.

Knick Links – Thursday

I almost never say this, but thank goodness the Knicks aren't on tonight. I mean, any NBA fans who won't be glued to TNT tonight for Cavs/Heat. Game of the year so far, for sure. I'll be fascinated to see the kind of ratings this game gets.

If you're looking for a new way to have refreshing ice whenever and wherever you need it, we suggest investing in a portable ice maker….
12 qt Roaster with Porcelain Cookwell
Description & Highlights
Nesco 12 qt Roaster Oven with Porcelain Cookwell
From Nesco, this 12 qt Roaster Oven (4842-47) is by far the most advanced and versatile portable oven on the market. Complete with a self-basting lid that holds in moisture and Nesco's exclusive Circle of Heat ® heating element that wraps around the sides as well as the base, this roaster accurately replicates the cooking quality of a standard, full-size oven. Such a true, oven-like performance gives this compact roaster added versatility as it can be used to roast, bake, steam, slow cook and even brown foods before cooking.
The adjustable temperature dial can be set anywhere from 200° to 450° F, allowing you to cook a meal, keep it warm, and even serve guests all from the same place. The cool-touch handles and portable design come in handy should you need to bring a dish to an event and use the oven as a server. In contrast to the typical slow cooker or crock pot design, this roaster's pan-like design is less likely to tip over in transport or when used as a buffet style server.
Variety of Cooking Options:With such a wide temperature range and the option to cook in the porcelain cookwell or the removable chrome-plated cooking rack, you can cook anything in this compact oven that you could in a regular oven
Preset Cooking Levels:The adjustable temperature dial can be set from 200° to 450° F, and contains presets including Slow Cook, Cook, Roast, Bake and Steam
Circle of Heat ®:Nesco's exclusive Circle of Heat ® heating element not only heats the base but also wraps around the sides of the roaster, resulting in even heat distribution and a thoroughly cooked meal

My research encompasses theoretical aspects of effective field theories, modified gravity, extra dimensions/brane worlds, early universe cosmology and screening mechanisms.
One area I work on is massive gravity, the idea that the graviton may have a small mass. Massive gravity has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years, due to progress which has overcome traditional problems. It is a potential avenue for addressing important open questions such as the cosmological constant naturalness problem. Related to massive gravity are the galileons. The galileons are an interesting and novel class of effective field theories which have turned out to be extremely universal. They arise generically when describing the short-distance behavior of the new degrees of freedom introduced during the process of modifying gravity in the infrared, and they arise in describing the brane bending modes of brane worlds. The galileons possess a screening mechanism, called the Vainshtein mechanism, and many other interesting properties. I have been active in exploring formal aspects of massive gravity/galileon theories, in generalizing their nice properties to wider classes of theories, and on subjecting them to tests.
Another aspect of my research focuses on the early universe and inflation. I am interested particularly in the the consequences of non-linearly realized symmetries on inflationary observables. I am also interested in potential alternatives to inflation, such as the psuedo-conformal universe, or conformal scenario, which aim to provide a viable alternative scenario for the early universe rooted in symmetry.

Cybertron Primus:
Primus's alt mode is Cybertron. Sort of. It's not the traditional Cybertron that has looked practicaly the same in all TF lore. Unlike Unicron, this planetoy features a built in stand, so the toy is completey round and not flat on the bottom. It looks decent in this mode, actually better than Unicron. For minicon fans, there are 4 minicon ports atop towers on the top, with a few more located around southern half. Gimmicks in this mode include two Cyberkey/Force Chip gimmicks that pop up and out cannons that are located on the equator. There's some interesting details here, like the forementioned towers and buildings what are described as "famous cities of Cybertron" on the box. There are some thin tower/spikes on the back, left and right sides that reminded me of the Energon towers from Energon ;P. I wish they could have added an obvious Iacon from MMTTE but oh well. The only huge flaw in planet mode is a hole at the top of the toy that is part of the figures transformation process. This toy features a semi-autotransform feature. (Think Armada Prime, except not electronic and annoying as hell.) Insert the Omege Lock/Chip Square at the top ( causing it to light up) and move it foward. The top will half, popping out two cannons in the process. Next, lift the hinged peice at the back, and unfold the legs from under the just revealed cannons. (There's a battelstation mode you can do at this point, but I never felt it was worth checking out.) Turn the torso 180 degrees, and flip put the "feet" at the bottom. Insert the Lock/Square into the chest and push up, popping out the head, shoulders, and arms a little bit. Pull the hands out and you are done. The robot mode, although short for a supreme figure, looks pretty impressive. The key cannons, which are how his arms, work here again, and the 2nd set of cannons can be either stored behind his back, or at his sholders. Each leg can use the lock/square to rotate the sides, flipping up more cannons on his leg and non-firing missles that can be pushed out. Each leg also has a little grapeling arm as well. The fingers and thumbs are all articulated, but the fingers look a little too long when stretched out.
This figure is pretty cool. He is short though, Metroplex is taller than him and is 10 dollars cheaper. I thought the auto transform would be annoying, but its actually kinda neat and works pretty well. While the pop up cannons are not too great ( they weren't great on Jetfire either..) he does have a generous arsenal of them. Primus is packing. Like a lot of toys from this line, this release features a lot of panel lines and details. It's going to take awhile to paint all these details, but it will be worth it when I get done. The original Tranformer is deffinately worth owning, highly recommended.

By Patrick Magee/Hattiesburg American
New Southern Miss football coach Todd Monken announced seven members of his staff on Friday, including offensive and defensive coordinators.
Dave Duggan, a former USM staff member, will serve as defensive coordinator while former California assistant Marcus Arroyo will be the offensive coordinator and outside receivers coach.
"These are guys that can connect with players and are loyal," Monken said in describing the staff as a whole. "They're excited to be a part of Southern Miss football. We have a job because of these players. They'll work for the university and work for the players. That's what I was looking for. I couldn't be any more pleased with the guys I hired."
Veteran assistant Pete Perot, who coached the offensive line at USM from 1997-99, will handle the offensive front again after a 12-year stint at Louisiana Tech.
Former Oklahoma State graduate assistant Andrew Thacker will coach safeties while John Wozniak, who worked as an off-the-field administrator and assistant at Alabama last year, will coach special teams and inside receivers.
Former Louisiana Tech and NFL running back John Simon will coach running backs.
Steve Buckley, who served as offensive coordinator for USM last year under recently fired head coach Ellis Johnson, will continue on the staff as recruiting coordinator.
Monken said Friday that he has two more positions to fill on the staff.
"We're not going to rush those hires," he said. "We're going to get those right."
Duggan is a familiar name for USM fans after he served on former head coach Larry Fedora's staff from 2008-11. He was linebackers coach his first three years at USM before transitioning to the role of co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2011, when the team went 12-2 and earned a Conference USA championship.
Duggan was part of Fedora's staff at North Carolina this past season, coaching outside linebackers and special teams.
Monken said he became familiar with Duggan through relationships with other coaches and received good feedback when he mentioned Duggan's name to current players.
"I knew if (UNC offensive coordinator Blake Anderson) had gotten the job, he would have potentially brought Dave with him," Monken said. "There's a number of different factors (that played into Duggan's hiring).
"I hired him because he's a really good football coach, a good person and he connects with the players."
Arroyo, who was at Cal for two years, was quarterbacks coach in his first season for the Golden Bears before being promoted to the level of passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach this past season.
Prior to joining the staff at Cal-Berkeley, Arroyo was an offensive coordinator at Wyoming and San Jose State.
Monken, who will handle play-calling and coach quarterbacks, looks to Arroyo as someone that can complement his air-it-out style on offense.
"I was trying to find someone in that role that had success and has been a part of a spread offense," Monken said. "He hasn't been a part of an offense we're running now. He's someone who will have separate ideas and can learn what we've been doing."

The Mystery Caller
In the pre-dawn darkness, you sneak toward an immense ridgetop white oak.
From that spot the previous evening, you tucked a gobbler to bed. Being
clever and techno-proficient, you marked the white oak on your global
positioning system unit as your set-up tree for the next morning and then
slipped out of the woods. Now you're back and, sure enough, the first owl
hoot of the morning assures you the gobbler is on the same limb and feeling
You wait for shooting light, and then fire the bird up with two soft tree
yelps. At flydown, you mimic a hen pitching from her roost. The gobbler
responds lustily, so you go silent, not wanting to hang him on the limb or
goad him into a gobbling fit that would attract a hen or another hunter.
However, your bird is having none of it. He gobbles at everything and
nothing, his booming voice becoming more urgent by the minute. Finally, you
hear him pitch and land.
Just as you put your favorite peg to your trusty slate, you hear it; a
series of croaky "yelps" that sound so bad they have to be from another
hunter. Worse, the sounds emanate from between you and the tom. You're on
public land, so there's nothing you could say to a trespasser, and because
you've called so sparingly, it's possible this intruder doesn't realize he's
moved in on you.
Do you:
A) Stick it out and call more aggressively? Perhaps the hunter will realize
his mistake and shut up, giving you a chance to kill the bird.
B) Reposition to where you think you'll have a better chance to kill the
bird than your competition? It's an aggressive move that might bump the
turkey, but at this point, who cares?
C) Walk away and find another bird? Further attempts at the turkey at that
setup are bad judgement and might put you or the other hunter in danger.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Free Speech
Apple CEO Tim Cook, Alphabet CEO Larry Page, and 10 other technology company leaders trooped to Trump Tower in New York this week, where the President-elect told them they were "amazing" and said, "I'm here to make you folks do well." He pledged to do "anything we can do to help." We're glad to hear it, and we have a few ideas for steps the new administration can take to fulfill that commitment.
Technology company leaders are reportedly meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and members of his transition team tomorrow in New York. Mr. Trump's relationship with technology companies has been frosty, and his statements during the campaign and recent cabinet picks raise serious concerns about the new administration's commitment to protecting the digital rights of all Americans and fostering innovation. They also point to the deep need for Mr.
Books checked out from a library and terms searched on library computers can reveal a teenager's questions about sexual orientation, a neighbor's religious leanings, or a student's political interests. Libraries across the country, particularly public libraries, make it part of their mission to serve the most vulnerable and underserved user groups, including users who are homeless, unemployed, or recent migrants or refugees. And when government agents come looking, these library users need librarians to have their back.
Many have contacted us with concerns about yesterday's election results. At this critical moment, we want digital civil liberties supporters worldwide to feel confident that EFF remains steadfast in its mission and method: to use law and technology to champion civil liberties and provide a potent check against overreach.
EFF has worked for 26 years to build a free and fair future. When civil liberties come under threat, we challenge the powerful—from those in high office to perpetrators of common malice—to establish limits and protect people. We know that freedom and justice don't just materialize. They aren't automatic or made inevitable by technology. If we want our technologies—which today are woven throughout our communities, our laws, our culture, and our very lives—to support freedom and justice, we have to work for it. Hard. We have to fight.
While there are countless examples of DMCA abuse, sometimes a story stands out. Last week, Samsung sent a series of takedown notices aimed at videos showing a GTA V mod in action. The modification replaced an in-game weapon with an exploding Samsung phone. Whether you think these videos are hilarious or in bad taste (or both), they are a parody inspired by real-life stories of Galaxy Note 7s catching fire. Samsung may not enjoy this commentary, but that does not excuse its abuse of the DMCA.

Mariane, I echo everything you have said here today. It's time to close the door, and Wednesday will be a sad day for sure.
You have all helped to carry me through some tough days in my life and for that I am most grateful. But, life must go on as the Lord leads until the day we meet at Jesus' feet. Thank you all for your friendship, your humor, your love, your prayers, and your caring hearts.
I believe all the porch sitters have my email address. Please stay in touch when you can. I will do that as well. May God bless all of you!
