- This book changed my life by faithprays on 9/15/2012
This book has changed my life, how I see my life, how I recognize a multitude of gifts I used to skim over...unseeing. My joy has multiplied to overflowing. I stumbled across the author's blog a couple years ago, liked it, re-visited it often. I thought I already knew what the book was about; finally bought it a year ago. I just finished it. It took me months to get through the first chapter. Each chapter after that, shows a path to growing closer, ever closer to His presence and the unbridled joy that is constantly available to us.
- Amazing Read by Amanda on 7/6/2012
This was an excellent, beautifully written book. This book was life-changing for me. I have so many pages that have folded down corners, filled with scriptures and tidbits of truth. She speaks with honesty and openness. Living a life of thanksgiving to God has truly made a difference. I cannot wait to read it again and highly recommend it to anyone!
- MY OUTLOOK by Cathy on 6/23/2012
This book will hit you hard in the deep places of your heart. It will draw out the ugliness of complaining in a way you do not even realize. It is like a spoonful of sugar with medicine. Ann draws a picture of a heart connecting with her Father and seeing His love at work in everything.
- deep truths by tam on 3/23/2012
Ann writes in transparency and honesty, sharing her difficulties and triumphs. Sometimes, I could only read a few pages at a time, there was so much "meat" to digest, healing to assimilate. Truly an anointed book for those wanting a deeper walk with the living Christ.
- Life-transforming by firsttimereview on 1/25/2012
This book is annointed by the Lord. It truly caused my husband and I to pause and think, and then to start counting the gifts. We read it as a devotional, and there were days when we read only a few sentences and we had to stop, because there was so much to receive from the Holy Spirit as we read. I am on my second time through it and am receiving so much more. I bought ten copies to give away to my dearest friends. Don't pass this book up.
- Incredibly Awesome by Fran on 1/24/2012
If you're down in the dumps, or just wondering where your life in Christ is going lately, this is the book for you. I picked up this book last May, and finished it in two days. I couldn't put it down. Now, I am drawn daily to list my own list of my One Thousand Gifts. Thank you Sister Ann for being so honest, and sharing your hard lessons. We are all benefiting from God's WIsdom through you. I have given the book to everyone I can, and am still buying more. I cried and laughed. it's incredibly fresh and honest. it's what we all need to be reminded of. Fran Smith, Chattanooga, TN

Picture pretty and youll probably (definitely!) pick out the playsuit.This season were calling for cute and clean cut - cue the strappy swing playsuit for a super sweet style. Effortlessly easy to wear, the ethnic print playsuit is a bohemian babes dream and a bowler hats best friend. But dont be fooled the all in one has bags of attitude! From pretty petals by day and punk-inspired PU by night, the playsuit is totally transitional.

Happy Tax day everyone! If you haven't read my most recent post on the Colts draft needs, you may be lost. But the main premise of these next four posts will be to talk about certain candidates the Colts could be looking at for each position. The main need in the minds of many Colts fans is an offensive lineman. Most mock drafts have us selecting an O Tackle. However, I think there maybe ...

Most organizations understand the critical role that vulnerability management (VM) plays in helping them meet compliance requirements,ensure security and reduce risk. However, many organizations discover,only after investing in a solution, that it doesn't properly address their needs. Avoiding this costly mistake can be difficult though, because at first glance many VM solutions appear similar.
This guide helps you objectively choose a new or replacement VM solution by teasing out the real differences between the various available VM solutions. It also discusses recent advancements in VM technologies that can help you more effectively reduce risk in your organization.

This defensive end class is too talented to ignore. Two more guys I was just looking at the other day that kind of blew me away were Quanterus Smith of Western Kentucky and Walter Stewart of Cincinnati. Incidentally, what the hell do they put in the water at Cincinnati. They keep producing these unusually explosive defensive linemen.
Stewart has sticks of dynamite in his ankles and Smith is just brutal and relentless with good use of hands as a pass rusher, and the ability to be an every down defensive end.

It seems that the firewire encryptor I wrote for WiebeTech is being enthusiastically received at the MacWorld Expo. There is every sign that my hard work and my client's investment will result in a commercial success.
Bonita and I are very excited about the news, as I imagine my client must be.
I issued my first press release ever, and have been faxing it to newspapers around Maine:
There is news coverage about FireWire Encrypt at MacObserver and MacCentral.
I think MacObserver was confused when James called the passphrase interface an "applet". In their article they call it a "Java applet". It's actually written in C++ and is a vanilla carbon application; we call it an applet because it so simple. I used ZooLib so I can make the UI for Windows and Linux from the same sourcebase.

plays the music you love
William Byrd
born in Lincolnshire, England, composed during the Renaissance period
During the 1580s and 1590s, Byrd's Catholicism was the driving motive for his music. As the persecutions of Catholics increased during this period, and occasionally touched on Byrd and his family, he wrote and openly published motets and three masses (one each in three, four, and five parts), which are his finest achievement in sacred music, almost certainly composed for small chapel gatherings of Catholics. Byrd had taken up the publishing business again, printing the first English songbook, Psalmes, Sonets and Songs in 1588. This and his other songbooks include Byrd's compositions in the leading secular genres of the day: the ayre or lute song, the madrigal, and the consort song for solo voice and viols. The consort song's finest hour came at the hands of Byrd, who preferred texts of a high moral (frequently religious) or metaphysical tone. They are notable for the way the viol parts lead an existence independent of the vocal line. He openly published two Gradualia in 1605 and 1607, with music for the Propers of all the major feast days. His last collection, Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets from 1611, consisted mostly of previously published works, but did include two of his viol consort works. Byrd is at his most distinguished in the free fantasias for consort, particularly the later pieces in five and six parts, works of exceptionally luxurious texture. Byrd's last songs were published in 1614, and he lived out his life comfortably at Stondon Massey, where he died in 1623. ~ Rovi Staff, Rovi

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $8.99, or 1.6%, at $560.22, after UBS's Steve Milunovich raised his rating on the stock to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to $650 from $540. Milunovich writes that he had downgraded International Business Machines (IBM) and Accenture (ACN) because of the threat that cloud computing will eat into both companies' enterprise fiefdoms. But he calls Apple "the uncloud company," by which he means that the company is actually "on the right side" of the cloud computing trend, as it is "mostly benefitting from social, mobile, analytics, cloud (SMAC) technologies," and that he sees "institutional money moving back into Apple in 2014."
Milunovich was on CNBC this morning, and David Faber asked him about Carl Icahn's push for a bigger buyback through a massive tender offer. Milunovich said he thinks the company won't do anything early in 2014 to expand the buyback, perhaps later in the year.
Part of Milunovich's newfound enthusiasm is a renewed sense of optimism about a deal for the iPhone with China Mobile (CHL), which he thinks may be announced in the next few weeks. On that score, last night there was a brief item by Fortune's Philip Elmer-Dewitt pointing out that a subsidiary of China Mobile in the Chinese city of Suzhou posted an advertisement online for pre-orders of the iPhone 5S and 5C. "It was the first concrete evidence that a distribution deal — six years in the making — between Apple and the world's largest mobile carrier has been consummated," writes Elmer-DeWitt.
Today's action also follows last night's news that Apple has purchased social media analysis software maker Topsy Labs for $200 million.
OCZ collapses
Shares of OCZ (OCZ), the defunct flash-memory storage vendor, continue to plunge today, down 5 cents, or 19%, at 21 cents, reversing yesterday's big 60% jump, after the company said last night Toshiba (6502JP) will buy its solid-state drive assets out of bankruptcy.
Microsoft, Xbox and the PC
Microsoft (MSFT) turns out to have been the champ this past Black Friday shopping frenzy, reports The Wall Street Journal's Ian Sherr, writing last night that the Xbox One game console, which went on sale last Friday, was half of all console sales at big retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores and Target, vastly outperforming Sony's (SNE) PlayStation 4, citing data from market research firm InfoScout.
See also Bloomberg's Takashi Amano and Cliff Edwards piece this morning on the bleak outlook for Nintendo (7974JP), which may not make its target for sales this fiscal year of 9 million "Wii U" units. "They steadfastly refuse to consider that the product is not interesting to consumers," Wedbush's Michael Pachter is quoted as saying.
Despite the champion Black Friday status, Microsoft shares are not taking a victory lap this morning. The stock is down 9 cents at $38.36. Perhaps because some of the focus today is on last night's dispatch from IDC, which announced that it forecasts a 10% drop in PC shipments this year, the worst decline ever, and a 3.8% decline next year.
IDC claims "Interest in PCs has remained limited." Of course, such a view is not necessarily new. Even slightly-better-than-expected Q3 PC numbers reported on October 9th by IDC, and by Gartner, were fairly terrible, and presaged a decline this year and next. And Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has indicated it expects declines in shipments this year and next of about 10%.
But the IDC numbers have circulated in various outlets this morning, including a piece by The Financial Times's Hannah Kuchler.
Intel tablet prospects questioned
Also taking it on the chin in the PC market today is Intel (INTC), whose shares are down 5 cents at $23.65. DigiTimes's Monica Chen and Joseph Tsai report that Intel may only ship 30 million processors into tablet computers in 2014, below the company's own forecast of 40 million, citing unnamed sources in the "supply chain."
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich predicted two weeks ago, at the company's analyst day meeting, that Intel will fare much better in tablet chips in 2014 than it has to date. But the authors write that demand for Intel's "Bay Trail" tablet processors has not been as strong as expected.
Micron's structural advantage
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are up 30 cents, or 1.4%, at $21.57, after Needham & Co.'s Rajvindra Gill initiated coverage of the shares this morning with a Buy rating and a $30 price target, writing that while he's "late to the 'party' (stock is +240% YTD), we argue that the next chapter in the story is multiple expansion." Gill notes the P/E multiple fell by 44% this year, and it may expand in 2014, writing "we highlight the consolidation in the HDD market as a case study on multiple expansion and believe it sheds light on Micron's future."
Cowen & Co.'s Rob Stone this morning initiates coverage of Voxx International (VOXX), the Hauppage, New York-based owner of the Audiovox, RCA, and other brands, with an Outperform rating, and a $21 price target. Stone writes, "VOXX is a play on three CE segments, automotive electronics, premium audio, and consumer accessories. After a flattish year in F14E, sales growth should accelerate from F15 (Feb) toward high-single digits by F16E as it exits lower margin segments and new products and OEM programs launch."
Voxx shares are up 45 cents, or 2.7%, at $17.45.
Shares of Rackspace Hosting (RAX) are down $2.51, or 7%, at $34.99, following word this morning Google (GOOG) intends to cut prices for various cloud computing offerings by 10% to as much a 60%.
Wells Fargo's Gray Powell, who has an Outperform rating on Rackspace shares, writes that "While a 60% price cut on high end storage looks very bad we would simply note that these headlines can often be very misleading. The compute component of a cloud offering is typically the bulk (75%+) of a customers' bill and a 10% price reduction on compute is somewhat normal for the space."
"Ultimately," writes Powell, "we think everyone is chasing AWS which based on its latest earnings report appears to be running at $3.0B+ in revenue and growing north of 60%/yr. In fact, if we add up Azure, Google, IBM and RAX cloud revenue AWS is larger than all combined."

What I've been up to: WorldForge, basically. Maintaining and polishing Eris, and continuing to re-factor, extend and develop Stage.
Eris is getting quite stable, with lots of bugs being fixed, a few things re-designed and various pieces of functionality extended to make them more useful. Most recently 'logout' support and OOG character browsing have been re-worked : both of these were areas I stubbed originally back in June, and hadn't really touched since.
Stage has survived a complete rebuild of the database backend, including a move to dynamically loaded drivers, in addition to hundreds of other clean-ups and changes over the past few months. The core infrastructure (entity creation, persistence and routing of Atlas operations) is working pretty solidly, though we still need unit testing very badly to avoid reggressions.
Last week Demitar got alriddoch's 'equator' editing client interacting with stage, which should pave the way for online, interactive content creation by non-coder types; this is a rather important milestone, I think. I am current working on trees and plants (in rim-bio), movement modes (picking, droping, pushing and pulling) in addition to the usual core clean-ups and fixing. Once the movement work is out the way, mapping is waiting round the corner.

2009 Road Improvement Bond
2009 Road Improvement Bond
On March 10, 2009, voters approved $25 million of general obligation bonds to be issued for road design, construction, repair and improvements.
Initially, the city was planning on using bond funding for Unser Boulevard widening, Paseo del Volcan extension, Northern Boulevard widening, 30th Street paving design, Western Hills Drive reconstruction, Nicklaus Drive reconstruction and pavement preservation on roads throughout the city.
However, due to a bond premium ($500,000), federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding received for the Paseo del Volcan extension, and project bids coming in lower than original cost estimates, the city has been able to use bond funding for more road-related projects than originally anticipated.
As additional work/projects are performed with road bond funds, content on this Web page will be updated.
Bond funding has or will be used for the following:
New Roads
Paseo del Volcan extension (Iris Road to U.S. 550) (partial funding; majority federal funding).

21st Avenue (Golf Course Road to Grande Boulevard).
Northern Boulevard (widening Northern Boulevard to a four-lane divided roadway from west of Broadmoor Boulevard to 35th court).

Tarpon Avenue (sidewalk improvements from Wexford Road to Southern Boulevard).
Construction of right-turn lane on westbound Paseo del Volcan at 30th Street/Broadmoor Boulevard.

Street lighting on Arena Drive and Champion Avenue.
Temporary traffic signal at intersection of Unser Boulevard and King Boulevard.
Lisbon Avenue sidewalk design.
Meadowlark Lane and Prairie Sage Way Trail improvement project (widening the existing roadway to allow for bicycle use, replacement of an asphalt roadway buffer area, and new curb and gutter; and work taking place on this trail pertains to drainage control and will include grading, erosion control, fencing modifications, and storm water runoff containment between the trail and the perimeter of the adjacent residential community).

text: Just a heads up, the next Happy Meal promo at McDonalds is for Star Wars Angry Birds. Should be an easy to collect set for anyone who wants them as there are only three total and they are Halloween pails (so you should be able to tell what they have without even asking). Its a boys/girls shared promotion though, so be on the lookout that you don't end up with a Monster High pail by mistake. Still, shouldn't be that difficult. The Star Wars pails have either a red, blue or green handle. All three of the Monster High pails have black handles.

Fincher does it again! Man, he makes some dark movies doesn't he? And I don't neccassarily mean dark subject matter. He just doesn't use or can't afford lights in his movies. This one is no exception. Plenty of shadowy thrills. David Koepp's script could have used some tweaking. It starts out strong with some vivid characters, but begins to paint itself into a corner as the movie progresses. It's hard to keep Jodie Foster in a tiny panic room for two hours and they started to run out of ideas. I didn't much like the father showing up in the last third. Better to have the heroine win her own battles, I think. And the ending seems pat and Un-Fincherish leaning towards the Hollywood ending of his other film, The Game. So it's not as good as Se7en and Fight Club, but still a darn good movie.
Your thoughts?

ARSC included in $45 million DoD award for new supercomputers
ARSC included in $45 million DoD award for new supercomputers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 2010
Fairbanks, Alaska—The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has acquired new supercomputing resources under a $45 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense to Seattle-based supercomputer manufacturer Cray Inc. ARSC is the sole provider of open research computing capabilities for the Defense Department's High Performance Computing Modernization Program. ARSC will receive an 11,648-computer core Cray supercomputer. ARSC also operates a 3,456-core Cray XT5 named Pingo, and a 2,312-processor Sun Opteron cluster called Midnight. In addition to ARSC, the $45 million award to Cray provides for the purchase of new high-performance computing machines at Defense Department centers in Mississippi and Ohio.
The new Cray for ARSC will be installed later this year in the National Petascale Computing Facility at the University of Illinois and remotely operated by ARSC staff from Fairbanks. The facility, now in its final phase of construction, is run by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The new ARSC supercomputer is considered by Cray to be one of its next-generation supercomputing systems, code-named "Baker." It will feature a new interconnect chipset, known as "Gemini," as well as enhanced system software to boost performance and productivity.
In addition to the ARSC supercomputer, the National Petascale Computing Facility will house Blue Waters, a massive supercomputer funded by the National Science Foundation that will be capable of performing quadrillions of calculations every second.
"We think this partnership with one of the largest academic supercomputing centers in the U.S. provides the modernization program and its users with more opportunities for collaboration and shared use of technologies co-located at NCSA," said ARSC director Frank Williams.
NCSA director Thom Dunning is also supportive of the new partnership.
"This cooperative arrangement with ARSC opens up exciting opportunities for further collaboration between our two centers, and potentially between NCSA and the Department of Defense," he said. "We look forward to working with ARSC to use our expertise and experience to help the scientists and engineers supported by DOD meet their research goals," Dunning said.
The partnership with NCSA is also expected to provide the Defense Department's High Performance Computing Modernization Program with a venue conducive to developing strategic opportunities with other federal agencies, and especially the National Science Foundation, according to ARSC director Williams. "ARSC continues to take a leadership role in connecting academic, research, computing and defense communities with the computers, data storage systems, high-speed networks and next-generation experimental systems necessary for discovery in engineering and science," he said.
"It also provides significant growth and sustainment opportunities for ARSC," Williams said. "Running the new Cray remotely frees up much-needed space and high-demand power supplies so that we can install and operate new academic supercomputing systems here in Fairbanks." Earlier this year, ARSC announced that, in partnership and collaboration with researchers at UAF and the University of Hawaii, a new supercomputer and a new data storage system funded by a National Science Foundation cyberinfrastructure grant will be installed in the Butrovich Building this spring. Those and related systems support more than 280 UAF researchers whose work would not be possible without the use of ARSC supercomputing resources.
Supercomputing resources at ARSC are used by a global community of researchers, within the U.S. Defense Department, the University of Alaska and other locations to advance scientific discovery for national competitiveness, global security and economic success.Projects include study of the world's oceans, which include creating models that predict the force and direction of tsunami waves, the impact of changes to the marine ecosystem on the Alaska fishing industry or the potential for ice-free summers in the Arctic.

Lately, I'm seeing beautiful girls everywhere I go. Something has changed. Changes accelerating. It could be just the summer fashions, though. Nah.
Tried out glade. Fastest 2M I ever created. Not to mention the 2000% size increase in the executable (11k - > 246k).
Of course most open source projects fail to attract contributers. Such projects only succeed if they become mainstream. Otherwise, the original (and usually solitary) developer reaches the plateau where the effort outweighs the benefit (and enthusiasm) of adding new features of fixing non-critical bugs (IOW, making a stable release).
Saw the movie American History X again last night. Highly recommended for story and directing. I noticed a discontinuity in the scene where Danny is thrown against the bathroom stall: at first you see the roll of papers in his hand flying to the floor, and then it's suddenly back in his hand. One line stuck in my head: "Has anything you've done made your life better?"

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
BELDEN – Tupelo golf coach Mark Enis didn't blink Wednesday when he saw Miles Johnson posted the lowest score.
Johnson, a junior, shot a 2-over-par 38 to lead the Golden Wave to a six-stroke victory – 161 to 167 – against Corinth on a cold, windy afternoon at the Tupelo Country Club.
Tupelo's "B" team was third with a 175.
"Miles has worked really hard on his game," Enis said. "Two-over-par is not bad at all. That was a great score in these conditions."
Johnson, who missed a lot of last season's Class 6A state championship run with a broken ankle, has played his way into the five-man Golden Wave lineup this spring.
He played in the team's No. 4 spot against Corinth.
"I didn't hit the ball as well as I wanted to, but I was making my short putts, five feet and in," Johnson said. "I'll take that any day. You always want to putt as well as you can."
Johnson's lone birdie came on a chip-in on No. 6. He also recorded three bogeys.
"I've averaged 38 in qualifying, so I'll take that," he said. "I was happy with a 38 on a day like today. Hopefully, I can improve."
Wave sophomore Blake Harris, who is recovering from a broken ankle he suffered in August, recorded a 40. Austin Rose scored 41 and Hayden Buckley 42. Both players are juniors. Daniel Purnell's 44 rounded out the THS scoring.
"The players hit the ball well, they just had one bad hole," Enis said. "I told them they have to be able to fight through the (weather) conditions."
Corinth, last season's Class 4A state runner-up, was led by senior Collin Burns with a 41.
Three players for the Warriors – Curtis Dillinger, Chase Little and Noah McQueen – all shot 42s.
Drew Fandel, a junior, paced the Tupelo "B" unit with a 41. Kirk Reeder, a sophomore, added a round of 42.
Johnson hit the practice range after his round. He likes the Golden Wave's chances of winning a sixth straight state title.
"We have a good lineup," he said.
Team Scores
Tupelo 161, Corinth 167, Tupelo B 175
Tupelo: Miles Johnson 38, Blake Harris 40, Austin Rose 41, Hayden Buckley 42, Daniel Purnell 44
Corinth: Collin Burns, 41 Curtis Dillinger 41, Chase Little 41, Noah McQueen 41, Bryant Carleton 52
Tupelo B: Drew Fandel 41, Kirk Reeder 42, Miles Roy 44, Walker Clayton 48, Garner Nance 51

Man, would I have loved to have a shot at that Twilight Frodo (yet another disadvantage of not having access to a computer every day! ). I'm not really dyin' to get my hands on yet another Frodo variant, but if they wanna make it easy for me I'd be all over it!
I also saw the Crossbow Uruk-Hai yesterday (had to pass again due to shortage of funds). He looks awesome, but one thing of note about him is that it appears his head at least has been reused (albeit slightly retooled) from the Uruk-Hai Berserker. Still gotta have 'im either way.

A Student's Guide to Considering Medication for Depression, Anxiety, and Other Mental Health Problems:
Real Answers to Your Most Important Questions
Dear Students:
This brochure is designed to answer some of the most common questions that people have when they think about going on a medication for depression or anxiety. Although this brochure certainly does not cover everything, we hope you will find it informative if you are considering trying a medication. The information provided here is general, so you should find out how medications will work in your specific circumstances before making your decision. We are glad you are taking these important steps toward improving your well-being!
How do I know if I need to be on medication?
Sometimes, when a person is dealing with depression or anxiety, taking medication can be helpful in managing the symptoms. Here are some signs that you might be experiencing depression or anxiety:
Symptoms of depression
Symptoms of anxiety
If you are experiencing some of these symptoms (or ones similar to them), and they are interfering with your ability to function on a daily basis, you should talk with your counselor about whether medication might be helpful for you. For some people, counseling by itself is effective; for others, an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication is helpful in addition to counseling. Although your counselor cannot prescribe medication, s/he can help you decide whether seeking medication makes sense for you, and can help you figure out where you can go for a medication evaluation.
Why should someone consider using medication?
Medication can be a helpful addition to therapy and can speed recovery from depression, anxiety, and other psychological conditions.
Will medication change my personality?
No, but depression and anxiety can. Medication will allow your personality to come through without being as affected by your symptoms of depression or anxiety.
Isn't it better to try to fix the problem without medication?
It is certainly a good idea to try to address your symptoms without using medication. However, you may find that your symptoms are severe enough that they keep you from implementing changes or even understanding what caused your condition. In these cases, medication can help clear your thinking, increase your energy level, and improve your overall psychological well-being, all of which will help you get to the root of the issue more easily.
Is it a sign of weakness to take medication? Am I just running away from my problems if I take medication?
No more so than if you had diabetes and took insulin. By taking medication for depression or anxiety, you are using a proven treatment for a real condition. In fact, you are facing your problems head-on by using medication and counseling to treat your symptoms.
Do a lot of other students take medication, or am I alone in this?
You are not alone. Many other students as well as people in the general population use medication to help with psychological conditions.
How can I tell if my problem is just a chemical imbalance?
There's really no such thing as "just a chemical imbalance." Our brain chemicals affect our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions – and our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions affect our brain chemicals. So, if you are feeling anxious or depressed, your brain chemistry is off-balance – regardless of "why" you are depressed or anxious. Thus, if you take a medication and start to feel better, it does not mean that it was "just a chemical imbalance."
If I talk to a psychiatrist, will s/he push me into taking medication?
Your doctor will not push you into taking medication. He or she will only offer you treatment options and recommendations. The decision whether or not to use medication is ultimately yours.
Don't some people go crazy on these drugs (i.e., Prozac)?
Research has not shown that medications for psychological problems cause people to "go crazy" or become suicidal. The typical effect is to restore the person to their normal level of functioning, and ongoing care by the prescribing doctor will help manage any unpleasant effects of the medication.
Do I need to be in counseling, too? Why do I need to be in counseling if I'm on medication?
Medication helps your symptoms feel less severe, but may not address whatever caused the symptoms to emerge in the first place. Counseling may help you understand what led up to your symptoms, what you can do to help yourself feel better, and how you can prevent your symptoms from returning in the future.
Does medication work better than counseling?
Research shows that for some problems, including depression, counseling works as well as or better than medication alone. For many people, a combination of the right medication and the right kind of counseling is the best way to treat symptoms.
If I'm feeling better, should I stop coming to counseling?
You should always discuss your decision to leave counseling with your counselor before you stop coming. Often, your symptoms will show improvement when you start taking medication – and that is good! However, this should be a way for you get even more out of counseling, to address any underlying issues that led to your symptoms in the first place, to prevent symptom relapse, and to help you get to the point where medication is not required.
How does the medication work?
Medications for depression and anxiety work by affecting the chemicals in your brain that are related to your emotions and restoring these chemicals to their normal functioning. Some of the most common and effective modern medications work by allowing these chemicals to stay active in your brain for longer than they would on their own. Other classes of medication work in the brain differently.
How long will it take to work?
Most medications for depression and anxiety take at least two weeks to take effect, and some do not reach their full effects for 4-6 weeks. During this time, you should not stop taking the medication or change your dose without first talking with your physician.
How long will I have to take it?
It depends – on how severe your symptoms are, whether you are in counseling, the type of medication you are taking, and what else is going on in your life. For depression, a minimum of six months is recommended. Most people find that they are feeling much better after a few months, and can discuss tapering off the medication. You should have regular check-ups while you are on the medication to evaluate its effectiveness and discuss the duration of treatment.
Do I have to take it every day, or can I just take it when I need it?
Most medications are taken every day. Your doctor will talk with you about how a particular medication is to be taken. It is important to use the medication as your doctor directs in order to receive the full benefit and to avoid serious health problems.
Will I need to be on it for the rest of my life?
Probably not, but it is possible. Most people who suffer from depression or anxiety find that medication and counseling help them recover, and then they can stop treatment. Some people with more severe symptoms or who have a genetic predisposition may find that long-term use of medication and/or counseling is necessary.
Is the medication addictive?
Most medications prescribed today for anxiety and depression are not addictive. Some older medications, or those used in special circumstances or for extreme symptoms, have either addictive or dependency effects. Your doctor will tell you about these before prescribing such a medication.
What side effects will I experience?
It really depends on what medication you are taking. However, medications from the same drug family often have similar side effects. Some possible side effects of the most popular anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications are:
Not everyone experiences these side effects, and most people will experience only one or two. Also, you are most likely to experience side effects in the first three weeks of using a new medication. Usually, these symptoms are mild and tend to fade as your body gets used to being on the medication. However, if you experience side effects that are unpleasant or last more than a few weeks, you should talk with you physician about this. It may be that a different medication or dosage would work better for you.
I was on a medicine before and it made me feel worse. Why should I considering going on medication again?
Everyone's brain chemistry is somewhat different, and there are different "types" of depression and anxiety. It could be that the medication you took before was not the best choice for you at that time, or that your body did not have time to adjust to mild side effects. You should discuss this with your doctor, and s/he may be able to choose a different medicine that will be more effective and with fewer unpleasant side effects.
Are there any reasons why I should not use medication?
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, you should not use medications. If you are taking any other prescription, herbal, or over-the-counter drug, or if you have any other medical conditions, your physician should know about these before prescribing an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety drug, or else medication may not work as intended if you are taking other medications.
What other changes will I have to make in my life if I go on medication?
While you are using an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety drug, you should not drink alcohol or use any other recreational drugs. Your doctor should know about any other medications that you are taking. You should plan to take the medicine at the same time every day, and you may find that you have to make adjustments to your schedule to accommodate minor side effects (such as drowsiness).
Who can prescribe medication?
Generally speaking, medical professionals are able to prescribe medication. This includes any M.D. or D.O. (such as your family physician or a psychiatrist), or Nurse Practitioners with pertinent education. In general, psychologists and counselors CANNOT prescribe medication.
Where can I get medication?
UCM students have several options. You may make an appointment with a doctor or nurse practitioner at University Health Center (660-543-4770). You may also visit your family or personal physician, or an outside psychiatrist, to discuss these issues. Your counselor can talk with you about other options that would work in your particular circumstances.
How much does it cost?
The cost of medication depends on several factors, including which medicine is being used and your health insurance's prescription drug coverage. Before making a decision to go on a medication, you should find out how much your prescription co-pay is, and whether this differs based on the specific medication you are prescribed. Some medicines for psychological problems are available as generic drugs, which helps reduce the cost to you. Most people find that their health insurance covers a large part of the cost of these medications. If you have concerns about cost, you should talk with your doctor about these. In addition, you can go to www.needymeds.com for more information on managing your medication costs.
Where can I get more information about specific medications?
Information about specific medications is available from your pharmacist and can be researched at the library or on the web. Your library has a book called Physician's Desk Reference which has extensive information on all medications. This information can also be found on the web at consumer.pdr.net.
Whom should I talk with if I have more questions?
Your counselor can talk with you about other questions you have about how medication may fit into your overall counseling plan, as well as concerns you have about going on medication. Your medical doctor or pharmacist can discuss specific side effects of medications and other health-related concerns with you. Also, the following web sites can help you learn more about anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns:
Educating yourself about the benefits and risks of taking an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication is a critical step in improving your psychological well-being. Be sure you have all the information you need before making this important decision.

Lubricate the mind.
Lubricate the mind.
Can we do this walking? I think better on my feet, as do most people, I beleive.
It's 25 degrees outside.
Oh, is it? I hadn't noticed. I wouldn't want to impose. Speaking of impositions, may I ask a favor?
I have a discursive mind and am liable to wander off the mental tracks, so to speak. Frankly, I'll often continue to wander until I can no longer see the tracks. If you wouldn't mind sending up a flare at the appropriate times, I'd appreciate that.
I'll see what I can do...
Advogato allows access to diaries in XML (a strange dialect, it seams) using a URL under your "person". That is, find my XML-encoded diary here. That is her e. Now I think that's pretty-darn cool.
And how did I figure this out? From the source code, which is open, and online, and cross-references. Too cool for words, really.
Now, the important question: "Will the same tool annotate 5M lines of code on an intranet server for me?
Conspicuous Consumption
I found the newer, larger, prettier version of my house a while back and bought it. Stopped by after picking up the keys yesterday to enjoy the feeling. Now for the ugly part - - moving. We have way too much stuff.
Welcome back, me! It's been a while.
Read this thesis, then implement. Get your friends to do the same. Prove it, and improve it.
Don't ever lie about cheating. There's nothing worse than a lying cheater.
Ever notice that Frank Gehry never seems to talk about walls? His view of a building is of light and shadow and volume. I'm an engineer. My view of a building is slabs and ductwork and convection. It's the same building, but we see it differently.
The future of software is in this multi-platform, multi- client, wildly distributed network called "The Internet". I'm such a visionary, I know. It bears consideration that network clients will see artifacts in as varied a manner as people see buildings.
It's difficult enough to build software with a single manifestation of an artifact (an email message, for example). Supporting multiple, and ideally unlimited, manifestations is immensely more complex. Once again, software needs to be done differently.
So how does nature do it? Our minds hold intangible models that form the basis of our cognition. These models are fully encapsulated, accessed only over a physical carrier such as air, or paper, or electrons. The conversion of our mental models is not perfect, as the exaltation of "great artists" and "great communicators" exemplifies. The conveyances are the common primitives defined by the rules of physics.
How is software limited by the conveyances of the web? Significantly. Bits are a very primitive building block -- akin to atoms or bricks? Bits must be molded with great craftsmanship to carry a message.
What makes XML a better conveyer of information than bits? The ability of software to "sense" it. Viola.
Visit this site, and buy one for a celebration.
I like web discussion groups. Yes they are intelectual slums. Yes they are slow and ungainly. But still I like them, and here's why: Bablefish.
Remeber way-back when AltaVista put the BableFish translation service online? That was cool. I was in the midst of planning a six-week trip to Europe at the time, and BF helped me correspond with the owners of inns and travel bureaus. Once the trip was over, I didn't think much about it until a came accross discussion groups using the technology to auto-translate posts into the reader's language, regardless of the post's original language -- wow.
Simple? Yes. But still amazingly cool.
I can talk to almost anyone, anywhere in the world using these forums. That is a very good thing. Wonder how Afghans see the conflict in their country? Try th is (keep in mind that the translation technology isn't all that good before assuming someone is an idiot) and see Germans, French and Americans posturing and puffing in a language agnostic forum.
Mr. Kirk's universal translator is closer than it seems.
Sunday (October 21) I stole away to hike the Table Rock Wilderness. Awesome. As NYC holds the wonders of man, the PNW holds the wonders of nature.
It wasn't a great day for hiking with blowing rain and low rolling clouds. I couldn't see 100 yards for the fog sometimes. But it was a glorious six miles. So far removed. The staid giants (Douglas, Hemlock and Noble) quitely speak of shattering forces.
Sad reality returned at the reunion with the car. State troopers have patrolled there for a long time, that man's eyes were different Sunday. Uncertain.
XML for Diagrams, or DiagramML
First needed an export/import format with fealty to the model, but unadorned. I'm not one to choose a complex solution to a simple problem (okay, maybe I am but that isn't the point). Enter DiagramML. I think it will work, but consider it a proposal for now. Is there an alternative? :)
Here in the PNW, Fall is glorious. Warm dry winds scatter desiccated leaves, each scittering harshly against quiet streets. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
There is some really evil shit happening between Israel and Palestine, and the devil doesn't take sides. If I were Jewish, I'd be feeling pretty damn meek. I mean, why does Israel exist? Religion. What is Osama fighting in the name of? Religion.
Mayor Hypocrisy here. The fervent refusal to recognize legitimate objections to the Israel's policies is just stupid. A lot of people are pissed, and not completely without reason.
Of course, just saying this makes me a "racist bastard", I'm sure. Gee, that smacks of fanaticism now doesn't it?
Well now, Doc has managed to turn the attack on the Trade Center into an "I told you so" on his gig. It's all about conversations, Doc -- always has been, always will be. Such crap. Even managed to slip in a link to the book, I see.
Doc, you were on to something good there for a moment, but then you just had to masterbate on it.
Of couse, Dave is promoting himself pretty-well too. F**king disgusting, IMHO. It was great, marvelous really, that he made the effort to broadcast stuff not found on the mainstream news. Once he started patting himself on the back, however, he became an opportunistic bastard. Sorry, but that's how I see it. And this is just caving in. Why should the march of technology slow down? It's just as important as it's ever been.
These guys aren't great examples to follow. Do selfless deeds and keep them to yourself. Weblogs and "conversations" are interesting, perhaps one more than the other. But -- and that's a BIG "but" -- watch those damn egos!
Afterall, what motivates Mr. Laden if not ego? He doesn't take credit for his deeds, so they do nothing for his cause (at least, not his stated cause). It's all about feeling important. Some poeople seem to need more of it than others.
My theory is that there is a finite amount of ego in the world, and that it is hoarded at the expense of others. Without enough ego, a person can be sloathful and generally pissed at the world. Too much makes a person undervalue others. So, leave some ego for other and use as little as you can.

You are here
You haven't really considered human flexibility until you've watched a man fling himself through a two-foot ring, five feet high, feet first. Such was the case at Traces last night, a spectacular Spoleto performance that showcases a circus act-cum dance-off of the seemingly impossible. The Quebec-based troupe, Les 7 Doigts de la Main (Seven Fingers), flips, jumps, catapults, spins, cartwheels, and even sings its way through 90 minutes of sheer fun. I'd qualify them as gymnasts, but that would be selling them short.
The production begins with a bare stage, the curtains a tattered mess of army green. On a back scrim, a security camera counts down the minutes until curtain while airing the audience milling in. The performance started 15 minutes late. Whether or not that was commentary on our world today (as the program had many references to time) it's hard to say, but from my vantage point it was quite annoying. C'mon Charleston, show a little common courtesy and arrive on time, this is the theatre, not your tailgate! But I digress.
The evening opened with a pas de deux between the lone woman, Valérie Benoît-Charbonneau, and American Mason Ames. The six-foot, two-inch Ames hoists the petite five-foot, one-inch Benoît-Charbonneau through the air in one of the most athletic but incredibly sensual experience I've seen in modern dance.
The cast took turns displaying their many talents, from Cirque de Soliel veteran Xia Zhengqi skill with Chinese juggling to Bradley Henderson's (aka the human-top) centrifugal spin through one giant metal hoop. Mid performance the entire cast attacked two at least 20-foot high bars. Climbing up them, extending from them at a 90-degree angle, showcasing what the infomercials for the Ab Buster so wishes it could promise. Then gripping by feet only, cast members would allow themselves to drop the entire 20-feet before catching themselves inches from the floor. The audience must have been blue because we were all holding our breath.
But perhaps the best part of this show was hearing from the balcony the excited giggle of one child—one kid absolutely having the time of their lives. And that giggle alone makes me believe there's hope for live theatre, because there's really nothing else like it.

Smith resigns DHS post, Rhodes appointed
No reason cited for resignation
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith has resigned.
Gov. Scott Walker announced the resignation and appointed Deputy Secretary Kitty Rhoades as secretary of the department that is in charge of overseeing the state's Medicaid programs.
Smith had been at the forefront of Walker's opposition to the federal health care law and had testified before Congress on that issue.
Smith says in his resignation letter that he is accepting a job in the private sector that begins March 1. He did not say in the letter where the job was.
The resignation comes the same week a Dane County judge decided to seal the records in an attempted homicide case connected to Smith.
Andrew Spear, 59, is accused of pouring gas on his wife, Mary Spear, and lighting her on fire in August. Spear claimed his wife was involved in an extra-martial affair with Smith.
Mary Spear worked with Smith. Smith and Mary Spear have denied the allegation of an affair.
Rhoades has served alongside Smith as his deputy since Walker took office in January 2011. Prior to that Rhoades served in the state Assembly from 1999 through 2010.

The 2012-13 academic year marked the fifth year of the Weapons of Mass Construction community service initiative spearheaded by the Princeton Varsity Club. Princeton student-athletes took on two projects — helping to build a community garden and restoring storm-damaged properties. Read more.

[ Music ]
>> Princeton Athletic Community
seems to be tight
and it's just getting tighter
doing events like this.
And then we really get to give back
together, which is an awesome experience.
>> The PVC, we're like an organization that
brings together all the athletic teams on campus
in order to like use what we're learning
through education through athletics.
[ Music ]
>> You know, working with a team,
taking directions, being accountable
and not just standing around doing nothing,
but always be doing something,
you know, never be idle.
It's just like when you're in
the weight room or, you know,
taking teammates down for practice.
It's accountability.
>> Our school, we have such, like, great
athletic success in all different types
of sports and it's a great way
for all of us to come together.
[ Music ]
>> The vision for this garden is a space for
the community that's safe, that's beautiful,
that has greenery, has art, to serve as a
sense of inspiration to this struggling area.
>> The idea behind this entire community garden
anchored by the Gandhi portrait is a whole idea
of be the change you wish to see in the world.
>> There have been tires that had
been weekly dumped and so we were sort
of just showing whoever had
dumped them that hey,
we're going to use it to
make something positive.
[ Music ]
>> You see your teammate's everyday at
practice, but it's kind of nice just
to have us all be transplanted in
doing something different together.
>> Very important to get out of the
Princeton bubble for multiple reasons.
One is just to get some air
every now and then and also just
to give back a little back and
be visible in the community.
>> Being from New Jersey myself, you know, when
that hurricane hit, it was really devastating
for me personally and coming
out today was really important
to be able to share my time and help.
>> I mean I always thought my first trip
ever would be, like, a fun vacation.
Being here and then seeing
it on TV is pretty shocking.
Just seeing all the houses and there
are some that are completely wrecked.
>> I think the most fulfilling
part of this service activity,
is that we get to see the actual
person like we're helping.
We get to put a face to that
person that we're benefiting
and that just makes it a lot more
rewarding experience in my eyes.
>> If people bring up Sandy 10
years from now, I can think, like,
oh I did something to help,
even if it was small.
[ Music ]
>> I think for me, the most meaningful and
impactful experience has been just like getting
out in the community and helping people and
being a part of something greater than myself.
>> It really showed that Princeton students
do want to give back to the community.
>> People who don't just do the bare
minimum, they really go the extra mile,
they put it on the line for their
school and that's important to me.
[ Music ]
>> With the academics and athletics and playing
varsity soccer, we often don't get to branch out
and work with a lot of the other teams,
so this is the perfect opportunity for us
to make some new friends and
work together for a good cause.

"We haven't had anything like this in New York for over twenty years". Wynton Marsalis
The Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show!
MONDAY - THURSDAY 11pm-3am
FRIDAY - SATURDAY 1am-3am
£10 Entry, £5 Students (with ID), FREE entry to MU, Club members and main show ticket holders
In 1959, saxophonist Ronnie Scott opened the door to a small basement club in London's west end where local musicians could jam. Today, it is one of the world's most famous jazz clubs attracting packed houses and the biggest names in jazz and popular music and Ronnie Scott's welcoming, stylish setting is also home to London's coolest late night hang.
Each night Monday to Saturday, after the main act, Ronnie Scott's presents the Late Late Show, where some of the UK's finest jazz talents take to the stage for a late night blowing session.
Bruno Heinen is a London based contemporary pianist, composer and bandleader. His recent endeavours include collaborations with Julian Siegel, Martin Speake, Byron Wallen and Christian Brewer. Bruno studied classical piano at the Royal College of music with the then head of keyboard Andrew Ball and then went on to win prizes from the Musicians Benevolent Fund and the Countess of Munster Trust to take his Jazz masters at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he studied under John Taylor. Bruno was asked to stay on at the Guildhall as a Junior Fellow where he completed a Masters of Musical Performance. Bruno now teaches Jazz harmony to the classical piano students at the Guildhall every year as well as leading small bands made up of Jazz Undergraduates.
As a composer, Bruno has written for groups ranging from sextet to two piano's and percussion, and from big band to classical string trio. In 2009, Bruno was nominated for the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Composers Award as well as the British Composers Award. Bruno leads the King Alfred School big band, and recently led them to win the Music For Youth Competition with his arrangements.
In 2005, Bruno and bassist Andrea Di Biase formed Dialogues Trio with drummer Jon Scott. The trio plays original music written by Bruno and Andrea. In recent years they have toured in Italy as well as playing in clubs in and around London. Their debut album "Twinkle Twinkle" was released last year on the Babel Label to critical acclaim:
"Heinen sounds like the kind of erudite and curious new arrival destined to make a real difference."
John Fordham – The Guardian
"Heinen is a cool-headed and resourceful improviser with a beguiling touch, favouring slow-burning legato lines over overt displays of chops. This is a striking debut that marks out Heinen's ensemble to be far more than just another piano trio."
Tom Grey – London Jazz
"Twinkle Twinkle is an absorbing set of variations and improvisations. Bruno's trio explore the music with skill and invention and Julian Siegel's ingenious performance is superb. An excellent achievement."
John Taylor
The trio has been played on BBC Radio 3 (Jazz Line Up as well as Late Junction), BBC Radio Scotland, Jazz FM, Jazz UK Radio and has been filmed live for the Performance Channel. The trio have also recently played a Prom Plus Late at the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
In 2008 Bruno arranged Karlheinz Stockhausen's 'Tierkreis' for Jazz sextet. The piece was originally written for twelve music boxes, one for each sign of the zodiac. Four of the original music boxes have been in Bruno's family since he was born which started the fascination with the piece. Incorporating the boxes in the performance, Bruno premiered the arrangement at the Vortex Jazz Club.
Bruno's sextet have just recorded his version of the piece, which is set to be released on the Babel Label in March 2013. The sextet features James Allsopp, Tom Challenger, Fulvio Sigurta, Andrea Di Biase and Jon Scott.
In 2010 Bruno re-arranged the piece for cello, double bass and piano for a performance with cellist Ulrich Heinen at the CBSO centre in Birmingham as part of the CBSO chamber music series.
Bruno also has a longstanding duo with world renowned Palestinian Singer Reem Kelani, playing traditional Palestinian, Egyptian and Persian music. In recent years they have toured in Syria, Spain, Turkey, Dubai and Scotland, as well as performing live on radio broadcasts. Bruno will be playing on Reem's forthcoming album which is an exploration of the Egyptian composer Sayyid Darwish.

Andrew Luck is very far from being a bust. The dude can ball. Anyone saying otherwise is just anti-luck or has a feeling hurt over fact he is more natural than tanny. #Truth
Just finished watching the Colts game.
Andrew Luck looks A LOT...I mean A LOT like he did in college. Almost the exact same player in the NFL that he was in college.
He's making it incredibly tough for me to get a solid read on him as to whether or not he's gonna make it in the league.
Gonna need more time.
Ryan Leaf was highly touted out of college as well. Ryan Leaf got a full year, right?
If Luck keeps getting first downs like that his career's not going to be very long.
What a god awful play to win the game. Dude checked down to his running back. Seriously, thats Henne like.

Some news on user-based ports. I now found out that I have quite a bit of work for this one. But i've managed to lay out basically what needs to happen.
- Change install path from /usr/local (or otherwise chosen) to ~/
- Change man install path to ~/
- Figure out how the hell to get ports to register and acknowledge registrations in ~/
- Change building directory (/usr/ports/[cat]/[port]/work to something else. Possibly ~/somewhere or in /tmp
- Do all this without breaking anything
Theoraretically my sketch is a little backwards, but it still works for me

Manufacturer: eDimensional
MSRP: $80 [BizRate]
Lowest Historical Price: $36 [History]
Stereo headsets are a great way to enjoy your music, games or movies without disturbing those around you. But with surround sound and all the 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 home theater systems that exist these days, a mere stereo headset seems to be an inadequate replacement. Over the past few years several manufacturers have tried (and mostly failed) to produce quality 5.1 headphones. So how did the eDimensional AudioFX Pro 5+1 Headset sound to our iPod-deafened ears? Click through to find out.
Model: AudioFX Pro 5+1 by BenHeck
Hardware Platform: PC, Mac
Connectivity: USB with integrated 5.1 decoder
Color: Black and Brown
Mic: Teamspeak Certified, 58 dB+/-3dB sensitivity
Driver Unit: 50mm, 110 dB+/-3dB sensitivity, 20Hz - 20kHz frequency
Force Feedback: Present
The headset comes with software that allows you to customize audio position, equalization and special effects. There is an in-line control switch that allows you to easily change the volume, vibration and force feedback settings. You can also swivel the mic about 135 degrees, so it can be adjusted to be on your left or your right side. The headset can be adjusted for various head sizes, with numbered notches on each side so you won't end up with a lopsided headset (unless you have a lopsided head). There is also an LED level meter that measures how loud the sound is- and possibly to show you how close you are to damaging your hearing.
The first thing that caught my attention was the size. It's huge! It reminded me of my old 6.3mm mono headphones, which were also brown in color, except they weren't as comfy as the AudioFX.
I began my testing on a multiplayer match of Unreal 2004. It sounded great, with booming explosions and clear higher frequency sounds from the lightning gun and link gun. My teammates (and opponents) were able to hear me well. After several minutes of playing and trash-talking, I noticed my ears getting warm. This is a problem I've always had with circumaural headphones. The padded ear cups create a nice seal around your ear to keep out background noise, but it also results in making your ears hot. I didn't notice much force feedback going on, but that's because I don't usually have the volume turned up too high. More on that later. With this headset, I was able to successfully determine (based on sound) which direction my opponents were coming from, but not any more so than if I had been using a normal pair of stereo headphones.
I then tested the audio with various music types, including rock, metal, pop, rap, house and even salsa music. The mid-range seemed to be more prominent with this headset than other headphones I have used. The bass was booming as usual, the guitar riffs were crystal clear, and the trumpets sounded amazing. I also tried the headset in a video iChat, which resulted in a few giggles from the other party. The audio quality was good, and my voice came through clearly in the mic, but this headset is clearly not a chick magnet.
Now that I had established that the mic and speakers work very well, I had to test the two features that didn't seem as noticeable: force feedback and the LEDs. As it turns out, these two things are only apparent when you really crank up the volume. I tried to keep them on as long as I could, but I couldn't get the first level of LEDs to register before I had to take them off. After I took them off, I turned up the volume all the way and watched the LEDs light up as the bass and force feedback boomed, which allowed me to make another observation: there was absolutely no discernable distortion, even at the maximum volume.
Given all this testing, I'd have to conclude that although this headset is pretty amazing, I couldn't really tell that it was a 5.1 headset. True, in a game, I can figure out the source of a sound with this headset, but I did that just as well using standard earbud headphones. Despite that, I'd still recommend this headset for your computer because the sound and mic quality are great. I was able to turn up the sound without any distortion at all, and the bass is phenomenal. The mic was very responsive and allowed me to communicate clearly and effectively with whoever I was talking to. Although you may look pretty silly using these in a video chat, the sound quality and mic clarity are worth the slight (okay, maybe major) embarrassment, especially at a price point of about $70.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Sour Grapes
I would have stayed by the fence all morning, waiting for that longbeard to lose his hen and get lonely. My buddy, however, had experienced enough.
"Let's go back and slip around the woods to see if we can get on him again or find those other turkeys," he said.
So off we went -- and struck out. I'd forgotten something at our original fence-line setup, so we hoofed back there before quitting. Feel free to write the story from here. As my buddy and I topped a small rise, a brilliant white head popped up to greet us. Astonishment turned to curses as the gobbler sprinted under the fence and took flight into the woods. Sure enough, during the 90 minutes we'd been gone, the gobbler had gotten lonely and marched in.
"Agh!" my friend said. "Isn't that just the way it always goes?"
No, not always -- at least if your cranial capacity is larger than a grape.
What decision did you make?
