Prehypertension is a new term that alerts people to the very real risk of developing chronic high blood pressure, if they don't take timely steps to improve their lifestyle habits, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Prehypertension is defined as a blood pressure with the top (systolic) number between 120 and 139, or the bottom (diastolic) number between 80 and 89. Talk with your health care provider about your target blood pressure levels. If you end up with full-blown high blood pressure, you may, in time, develop heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, or dementia, and may have to stay on prescription drugs for life.
The numbers to remember are 120 over 80 — the blood pressure reading that until recently was considered to fall within a healthy range. That reading now should be seen as a yellow light. According to federal guidelines, those numbers signal the low end, or the beginning, of prehypertension. Prehypertension is diagnosed when either the top number or the bottom number is high.
When blood pressure is high, your heart works too hard and excessive pressure is exerted against the walls of your arteries. Without effective treatment, the forceful blood flow eventually can harm your arteries.
Everyone should have his or her blood pressure measured every year or two, and more often if there is an abnormal reading. There's no way to know if your blood pressure is high unless you have it checked. You can feel perfectly relaxed and healthy, yet still have an elevated level. One in three adults has high blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). This is defined as blood pressure equal to or above 140/90 — and only around three-quarters of this population are aware of their condition.
When your systolic pressure is 120 or higher, you need to focus on lifestyle choices to try to improve your blood pressure. To prevent full-blown hypertension, if you have prehypertension, you need to live a healthy lifestyle.
Regular vigorous walking lowers your blood pressure numbers. But any physical activity can help, as long as it gets your heart pumping hard for 30 minutes or more each day.
The increase in high blood pressure in recent years is mostly because Americans are getting heavier. You can reach and keep a healthy weight by eating healthy foods, eating less at each meal, and getting regular exercise. Losing as few as 10 pounds can have a significant effect on your blood pressure levels.
Hypertension experts advocate the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan as a rational approach to healthy eating. This diet focuses on a high intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. The diet limits sugary foods and beverages, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
All people should limit their salt intake.
Women should limit their alcohol to one drink per day, and men should have no more than two drinks a day, according to international blood pressure guidelines. These guidelines aren't a recommendation to drink alcohol; rather, they offer limits if you choose to drink.
Smoking cigarettes temporarily causes an increase in blood pressure. That's not nearly as important as the fact that smoking adds to your risk of developing heart disease and stroke.

I ordered the wrong size cover the first time. Shipping to return it was going to be more than the cover cost so I kept it, and ordered another in the correct size. The cover is very well made. Dog hair brushes off easily. I have not tried to wash it yet, but very pleased with the the quality so far. Pay close attention to the sofa model when ordering!
Fantastic quality!

Wow. The velvet feels soft and luxurious. I typically dislike the feeling of all velvet and was very surprised when the forest green velvet was not only the perfect color, but obvious choice for our karlstad. The cushions are plumped up a bit on our chaise after replacing the cover which is an unexpected bonus. Along with a great new look, it is more comfortable to sit on. Thanks covercouch! I'm sure we'll be back!
Great cover

Really couldn't be happier with our Palermo Plum cover. The fabric quality is great and it fits perfectly. One word of caution - be careful to keep the hooks from your original ikea cover.

I'm really pleased with my new slipcover. I love the colour and feel of the material, the workmanship is great, and it fits my sofa perfectly. It really is much nicer than any of the Ikea covers we purchased in the past. And it arrived so quickly. I would recommend Cover Couch to anyone without reservation.

I ordered a cover in Sahara Grey for my Karlstad three seat sofa bed and the fabric quality is great. I'm very pleased with the fabric itself and the construction. The only thing I can say that's not perfect are the zippers. They feel slightly cheap and not the same quality as the original ones. Overall I am very happy with it so far...I must say I just put it in though, so I can't say how it has worn yet ;) Thank you

We ordered a velvet cover for our nearly 10-year-old IKEA Karlstad L-shaped couch. I DEFINITELY recommend ordering samples first; We ended up not liking the fabric we thought would be our #1 choice, much to our surprise. Samples are a MUST. The cover arrived quickly and was well packaged. Putting the cover on is always a bit of a pain with the Karlstad because you basically have to take the couch apart to do it! But the covers went on easily and the velcro holds up, although on the ends of both long sections the velcro didn't align with the velcro strips on the couch -- the cover was just an inch or two too long in those sections. I ended up installing new velcro on the couch there; it was an easy fix. The corner piece had the opposite problem; the cover wouldn't stretch to meet the velcro strips on the sides that met the longer sections. I just left them unsecured; the side pieces keep it in place. The cushion covers were a bit looser than I'd like, but I recognize that the cushions are also older so have lost some of their volume. I plan to cover buttons and tuft the back cushions, so that will help. Altogether, though, I'm pleased, and I would definitely order from CoverCouch again.

I ordered lots of fabric samples to help me make a choice and was fortunate to receive them all. The quality of all the fabrics was excellent, and, they are all machine washable. I selected an olive green, velvet touch fabric and I couldn't be happier

With construction serving as an ongoing disturbance to many New Yorkers, the Centre-Fuge Public Art Project has found a way to provide a unique twist on the otherwise bothersome ordeal. A drab grey trailer on East 1st Street is being transformed into raw canvas where a rotating collection of artists will have the opportunity to display their work. The artwork will change every two months, and the year-long project will culminate in a collaborative mural that will be unveiled with the opening of the new Second Avenue subway line. Inhabitat visited the Lower East Side to find out how the first group of artists have transformed the trailer, adding even more spark to the already happening neighborhood.
Pebbles Russell and Jonathan Neville saw the perfect opportunity to make their mark on one of their favorite neighborhoods in the city with artwork and proposed the Centre-Fuge Project to the 1st Street Block Association. A few months later they received the go-ahead to reinvent the outside of the 36-foot trailer that is parked on the south east side of 1st Street near 1st Avenue. Their goal: to show that despite the construction that has made the block feel more like a work site than a neighborhood, there is still a thriving community of creative individuals working together.
Created in memory of their friend and local neighbor, Mike Hamm, the duo is calling upon a rotating roster of multimedia artists to re-enliven the neighborhood. Every two months, between two to seven artists at a time will create work on all visible sides of the structure. The first installation includes artists Osvaldo Jiminez, Matt McCormick, Samuel Jojo Ashford, Optimo and Dr. Whom. A re-creation of one of Hamm's pieces has also been painted by Pebbles and will remain on the east face throughout the year.
The artists, many of who are native New Yorkers, come from a variety of backgrounds. Optimo NYC's talent adorns the trailer's west-facing side. Using the two existing barred windows of the trailer, the graffiti artist has created a face with a bandana that reads, "Children have natural ability to cr8. Don't stop them." The artist began painting at the age of 12 and can be found sharing his artwork from the streets of Soho to Art Basel. He draws inspiration from Dr. Seuss and Vaughn Bode, and from the work of contemporaries like Toofly and Wolf One.
The south face of the trailer features the work of two artists. The western half is covered with a large black and white wheat-pasted photo by Osvaldo "OJ" Jimenez. The artist hails from Harlem and the LES and after barely escaping a hit and run in Brooklyn, turned to a point and shoot camera to capture his experiences. A street photographer, he brings a unique New Yorker perspective to both his work at home and abroad. The photo titled "Crayons in Cambodia" is from a recent trip to Cambodia.
The second half of the south face provides the base for Matt McCormick's spray and acrylic painted portrait of a lounging James Dean. Mostly black and white, the piece is representative of McCormick's tattoo and ink style paintings and drawings. His work fuses Mexican folk art, classical American iconography, and mid-century abstract expressionist portraiture.
On a more whimsical note, the north face features the colorful work of two artists. Dr. Whom uses bold colors to create a crazy scientist scene and a beautiful burner that jump out against the black background. The Chelsea born and raised artist became fascinated with street art at a young age when he would take the 1 train uptown to visit his grandmother. He was especially taken with the colorful walls at 125th Street that had been transformed by some of spray paint's greatest legends. Today he leaves his own mark in plenty of unexpected places.
The second half of the north face features a softer, playful scene by fellow New Yorker Samuel Jojo Ashford. Using acrylic, latex and oil paint, the Brooklynite's metal canvas features a baby in a Giants hat connected to his dreams about what the world has to offer. A green cityscape with blue skies provide a background to the huge dream bubble that dominates the frame and floats into Dr. Whom's work. Within the bubble, childlike drawings of material objects, people and animals float in a pale yellow space. As explained by Centre-Fuge, "Sam's work is an attempt to make sense where there is none, and bring some nonsense to where there is too much."
The first set of artwork will be on view until March 10th when a new group of artists will once again transform the public space with their creativity.

Basically, the sexiest, can't-stop-reading appliance blog posts of this year, based on page views, in reverse order. Enjoy:
10. Refrigerator temperature: What temperature should a refrigerator be set at?
If you think I'm going to tell you this one without making you jump, you don't read this blog enough.
9. Outdoor kitchen ideas: Part 1
Certified Kitchen Designer Susan Serra guest blogged about big picture considerations for outdoor kitchens.
8. Liebherr cigar humidor blows no smoke
Can't find this specialty item anywhere else in Minnesota, as far as I know. Very distinctive…and popular on the interwebs, apparently.
7. Outdoor kitchen ideas: Part 2
I round up some of my outdoor kitchen product picks.
6. Warners' Stellian Warehouse Sale: It's baa-ack…
I guess people like the warehouse sale as much as I do.
5. Should you put aluminum foil in the oven?
I dunno…should you?
4. Dishwasher troubleshooting: Dishwasher leaving white film on glasses
So, this topic pretty much exploded after many states banned phosphates in their detergents, prompting even the New York Times to weigh in.
3. HOW TO: get an appliance stimulus rebate
Ah, the stimulus. I will always remember it fondly. Preparing for months for what lasted about 25 hours. I have say, we were pretty much right in everything we predicted. So if you were listening to us, you were probably in good shape.
2. HOW TO: Shop the Warners' Stellian Warehouse Sale like a pro
This post contains all my best advice for appliance shopping in general, I think , so it's relevant for anyone.
1. Refrigerator seal & fridge maintenance
So, views of this post were bolstered by a couple links from Lifehacker (yeah, we're pretty impressive like that), but c'mon, the Vaseline tip is still pretty sweet.
Bonus: My two favorite blogs of the year, because I'm self-involved:
Before Brangelina, there was Stellian
Insight into what makes my grandpa's predecessors almost as cool as my grandpa's, um, postdecessors.
Did you see that freezer running through St. Paul?
Because it was awkward and uncomfortable and one of the weirdest things I've ever brewed up (that's saying a lot).
Thanks for a great 2010. I'm hoping for things to remain flat in 2011, because after last year, that's still saying a lot 🙂

Apple bans protective screen film from Apple Store
Apple has banned protective screen film from its retail and online stores, iLounge has confirmed with several separate companies, a policy that will affect both cases and individual film packages beginning in May. In communications with vendors that have been ongoing for "some time now," according to one company, Apple has said that it will remove both film-only solutions from its stores, as well as any case or other accessory that includes film protection as part of its package, such as cases that include film screen protectors. According to sources, the ban will impact all forms of screen film, including completely clear film, anti-glare film, and mirrored film, regardless of whether the purpose of the film is protective, decorative, or both. It will also prevent sales of film for iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. One vendor speculated that the ban is an Apple marketing attempt to suggest screen durability, despite scratches that have damaged both plastic and glass displays of its products for years.
It is believed that Apple's move will have ramifications for the accessory industry outside of its own stores, as the Apple Store constitutes a significant fraction of total sales for many developers, even though accessory manufacturers also sell their products through other channels. Despite consumer demand for film solutions, which are currently ranked the #1 most popular "cases" for both iPods and iPhones in the Apple Store, and the #6 and #7 most popular overall iPhone and iPod accessories, respectively, developers might not create separate versions of each case product, one without film for sale by Apple, and one with film for sale elsewhere. iLounge requested details on the change from leading film developer Power Support, which had no comment, as well as several case makers, who were aware of the new policy but had nothing to add. However, Mirage Mirror Screen Protector vendor XGear suggested that despite the Apple Store ban, its "marketing positioning will not change. This will open many new doors for us as we move forward in my opinion."
iLounge has requested comment from Apple on this story and will update this article with additional details as they become known.
Update: We've posted responses to common reader comments on this story in a separate article.

There's something more than a "marketing ploy" afoot here. If the intent is for Apple to show off the durability of its i-Device screens, that doesn't preclude their continuing to sell screen films to those who want them anyway (be they decorative or otherwise). The "real" reason is a mystery - while a case could be made regarding a film applied to the iPhone 3GS' oleophobic screen coating, the rest of the product line shouldn't be negatively affected by such an accessory.
It also remains to be seen if Apple will next deny warranty coverage to those who continue to purchase and install screen films from this point forward.

LOL! I'd be nuts to use my iPhone without a film protecting the screen. Yeah, it feels slightly better to me naked, but when I think about how often I clean the film, and what I use to clean it, I wouldn't want to be treating the bare screen that way for the (short) life of the phone. The film goes on the day the phone arrives. (I've had them all.)
Guess I'll be buying my protective films elsewhere.
Posted by Manatee on March 17, 2010 at 10:52 AM (CDT)
is this a April fools day joke early. i love apple's stuff but this is outrageous. its funny they ban every kind of film , since whenever I'm at the apple store they are always recommending power support's anti glare film to customers buying a new ipod or iphone. whats next? are they going to ban all cases
Posted by j on March 17, 2010 at 10:53 AM (CDT)
That doesn't make any sense. I've never gotten a negative impression of Apple products because the Apple Store sold protective films for iPods. Does this mean they'll eventually ban the protective cases for Macbooks or films for keyboards?
The move, I think, hurts companies and consumers in the end. Users want to keep their iPhones and iPods in as pristine condition as possible and not having these available just hurts them.
In the old days when the iPods used the polycarbonate plastic for the face, it was absolutely necessary to get some protection to prevent scratches. The switch to the anodized aluminum makes that less of an issue, but I think the iPhone and the touch require some kind of screen protection to ward off scratches and other damage.
I guess that just means that I'll have to buy a screen protector separately from my case when I go to buy the next iPhone.
Posted by cxc273 on March 17, 2010 at 11:00 AM (CDT)
I don't get it. What's wrong with some added peace of mind. I mean if I invest in an Apple product, I would like to keep it in good condition for a very long time. Through it all, I guess I'll be looking elsewhere for a new case.
Posted by Oscar M. on March 17, 2010 at 11:02 AM (CDT)
I've never had a problem with screen scratches. I don't think I've put film on a PDA/phone since WinMo touch screen ones i had. That was for stylus scratches. Glass screens fix that issue.
Of course I do put my iphone in a leather sleeve case while in my pocket. Just a thin one to keep it from banging around against anything else. Mostly to protect the plastic back.
Posted by Jim E on March 17, 2010 at 11:05 AM (CDT)
I've gone caseless for my iPhone 3G for a few months now. While there are many fine scratches on the back plastic, the front glass cover is pristine.
For those who say you're nuts to go without a film on the screen - what exactly do you think could scratch the glass that wouldn't also cut right through the film?
Posted by Schnapple on March 17, 2010 at 11:07 AM (CDT)
I prefer the screen protector because it seems easier to read (if you use a matte one) and even with the oleophonic coating, there are way too many fingerprints. Maybe I'm near-sighted and eat too much junk food, but this is one of Apple's dumber moves.
Posted by Holly E. on March 17, 2010 at 11:23 AM (CDT)
I've never understood why anyone would need to protect a glass screen.
Posted by Galley on March 17, 2010 at 11:24 AM (CDT)
Perhaps Apple is trying to protect themselves from liability? Many of the screen protectors that I've used in the past required water; either the film is dipped in a soap water solution, or an equivalent solution is sprayed onto the film before application.
I suspect that the issue might be that people who attempt to apply one of these films and end up either causing liquid damage to their devices or simply triggering the moisture sensor. I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that Apple could find themselves in hot water for selling their customers a product that potentially voids the warranty on their other products. This is probably a CYA move on their part.
Posted by didymos! on March 17, 2010 at 11:40 AM (CDT)
Not sure why they would ban the screen protectors. Personally, I've had an iphone for two years and keep it in my back pocket all day. The screen is scratch free. Maybe they are just making an editorial decision on the content of their crowded accessory department.
Posted by rockaway on March 17, 2010 at 11:42 AM (CDT)
I use a power support anti-glare on my iphone 3GS for one reason. It cuts down on finger prints and smudges. Actually, I was thinking of taking it off.
Posted by MSF on March 17, 2010 at 11:44 AM (CDT)
#7: Coins.
#10: No screen protector sold in the Apple Store requires water to apply. Apple has not sold the various full body films that require separate bottles of fluid to lubricate the adhesive.
#11: That might make sense if Apple wasn't banning cases from including screen protectors, but the ban applies both to separately packaged protectors, and to cases with protectors inside.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz on March 17, 2010 at 11:50 AM (CDT)
A month after buying the first generation iPhone I found myself with a nice large scratch in the screen. I honestly have no idea how it happened because nothing was ever in that pocket but there I was, wishing I had a screen protector.
From that point on I've had the power support screen protectors on each of my subsequent iPhones.
I don't know their true intentions but I don't believe this is a smart decision.
Posted by Ryan on March 17, 2010 at 11:52 AM (CDT)
hmmmmm…Apple deciding what it's customers should do with the products they purchase? No way! Never!!
I used to get cases for my iPods, until I realized they do nothing to prevent hard drive damage when dropped. I've used Invisishields ever since (and haven't dropped my iPod) and if it wasn't for this film, I"d probably have to replace my iPod now it would be so scratched.
Oh well, it's not like any of my hard earnded money goes to Apple for anything other than their portable music players anyway.
Posted by Peterphan on March 17, 2010 at 12:24 PM (CDT)
I recall a recent Apple patent where by the screen would actually somehow raise up to respond to user touch to provide some sort of 3-d response to tactile actions… This would definitely require the absence (IMO) of a screen protector… other than that.. and heck.. even with that.. I always use screen protectors… What a crazy proposition to not use one..
Maybe if the cost of the device drops to 50.00 I could consider it.
Posted by Mike Mullaney on March 17, 2010 at 12:37 PM (CDT)
Did anyone think that maybe they just need the shelf space for ipad accessories? Some apple stores are small and they already announced that new stores will be twice as big. I think they just had to pick something to get rid of to make space and gave a consistant offering of products.
But I guess that doesn't explain online store getting rid of it unless they just want to unite the offering.
Posted by Marko on March 17, 2010 at 12:42 PM (CDT)
No one has mentioned a glaringly obvious reason. If iPhones stay perfect for years and years, no one will by replacement iPhones. With scratched screens, people are likely to buy the next iPhone when they can if their screen is scratched up.
I can so no other viable reason for the ban on screen protectors.
Posted by Dave M. on March 17, 2010 at 12:47 PM (CDT)
I'm an Apple Retail employee who has applied roughly a million of these films. A couple months ago, it became our policy not to help apply them, because they're so difficult to get perfect and it became a liability issue ("There's a speck of dust, give me a new one free."). Unless you're in a vacuum, there's a chance of picking up dust between opening the package and putting the film down.
Obviously, this is not the ONLY reason for them to be banned, but I thought I'd add my experience. I'll also say I'm a believer in going naked- if you're careful, it's pretty unlikely you'll pick up any serious damage.
Posted by Anon on March 17, 2010 at 12:47 PM (CDT)
I wonder how many returns they were processing for these films. Some of the buggers are tricky to apply, and I remember ruining my first Power Support film within 15 minutes of trying to get it on. This is presumably why they typically include a spare in the pack. For perfectionists, putting a film on is a true test in patience so I could see how they may be getting complaints from customers.

DARTMOUTH — Workers issued plenty of provisional ballots Tuesday as UMass Dartmouth students packed the Precinct 3 polls only to find they weren't registered to vote in town and, in some cases, had failed to register at all.
DARTMOUTH — Workers issued plenty of provisional ballots Tuesday as UMass Dartmouth students packed the Precinct 3 polls only to find they weren't registered to vote in town and, in some cases, had failed to register at all.
"A number of them established residency in town, but they didn't go that extra step and register to vote," said Randall Weeks Jr., one of the registrars of voters.
Weeks, registrars chairman Thomas Brooks and other town staff clustered around handwritten ledgers of "problem" voters Tuesday afternoon, checking and double-checking anyone missing from official rolls with a state database.
"We really can't fix anything on Election Day," Brooks said. "We're not trying to throw them out, though."
The ballot box at the Dartmouth Bible Church — where students cast their ballots — read 281 for Precinct 3, which includes most of the UMass Dartmouth campus, early Tuesday afternoon.
A shuttle to and from campus brought groups of students to the polling site, located on an isolated suburban road near Target.
Anyone missing from the rolls was issued a provisional ballot, which the town then has 12 days after the election to research and certify, Town Clerk Lynn Medeiros said.
Nine of 10 provisional ballots are typically "thrown out" because they can't be certified, Brooks said.
Town officials blamed the numerous groups that ran registration drives on campus this year, claiming they may have failed to remind students that they needed to use their campus addresses, not their home addresses.
Other students simply forgot where they had registered.
"So, can we vote now?" Cortney Ippoliti, a junior biology major who registered "two years ago" and "voted no problem," asked of poll workers after they found her on the list.
Ippoliti hit the polls with classmate Hillary Joyce only to find that the UMass Dartmouth address they gave to poll workers came up empty.
After a few minutes of back and forth with the poll workers, and a lot of furious flipping back and forth through the rolls, both women — who now live in Westport — were found at a different campus address.
"I mean, we moved and we didn't think we needed to re-register or anything, so we didn't," Ippoliti said.

It's almost certain that only a decade ago terms like "locavore" and "certified organic" weren't even blips on your radar. I remember back when local markets were more of a way of life than the "cool" way to shop. But times change. We now live in a society which is gradually becoming more health-conscious (reports of the growing obesity epidemic notwithstanding!).
With our growing health consciousness comes the debate between purchasing locally grown vs. organic foods.

Paris Saint-Germain won its first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with a 1-0 victory over Lyon at Lyon, France, on Sunday night, and in the fine tradition of soccer hooligans everywhere, some of the team's fans decided to celebrate with some rioting.
A celebratory parade was held in Paris on Monday, with the members of Paris Saint-Germain, including former Galaxy star David Beckham, taking part. Fans quickly grew out of control, however, and the parade ended only five minutes after it began, as the players were escorted to safety.
According to Paris police commissioner Bernard Boucault, it took 800 police officers to contain the riot. There were 30 injuries and 21 arrests.
"The conclusion you can draw is that there won't be more any more events like this in a public place for Paris Saint-Germain," Boucault said.
"Today should have been a day of celebration for the city of Paris," the club said in a statement late Monday night. "The party was spoiled by a few hundred troublemakers who have nothing to do with football."
You can watch video of the riot above.

Drip pans for stoves rank among the toughest cleaning jobs in the kitchen.
Grime on aluminum burner pans, which fit under the electric coils on your range, often seemed to me to be resistant to scrubbing.
And they probably are, if you're using regular cleaners and scrubbers.
But my two tricks for cleaning drip pans — one for weekly cleaning and one for deeper cleaning — will keep them looking new and thus, keep you from replacing them so often!
Bonus: Clean drip pans for your electric stove don't just serve cosmetic purposes; keeping the surface reflective ensures the most efficient use of heat, meaning you'll use less energy when you keep your burners and drip pans clean.
Spot cleaning burner pans
For day to day drips and stains, make sure the burner's completely cooled and pull it up and out from the stove top (see photo below). I usually remove the drip pan to my sink to avoid peripheral messes. Wet the drip pan and sprinkle on a liberal amount of my co-favorite household cleaner, Bar Keeper's Friend (name the other in the comments for a gold star). Use a rag to work the cleaner into a paste and polish off the mess. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing the pans.
Deep cleaning drip pans
Pick a time when you don't need to use your sink or stove for several hours, like right before bed or work. Again, wait until the stove is cool and remove the burners. Put each burner pan in separate gallon plastic bags. Add 1/4 cup of ammonia to each and fill the remainder with hot tap water. Close the bags and let them sit overnight (or for several hours).
Then, drain the bags and scrub off the loosened mess. Rinse well before applying any other cleaners, as ammonia can create toxic fumes when mixed. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
Let me know if you try this and how it worked for you!

Lord McNair asked Her Majesty's Government:
What are the recorded statistics for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) related deaths in this country as a proportion of total annual administrations of ECT.Baroness Cumberlege: There has been one death registered with a mention of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on the death certificate since the beginning of 1993, certified by a coroner. Reliable information on the number of administrations of ECT treatment is not available centrally.
Lord McNair asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether there are procedures to ensure that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is cited as a cause or contributing factor in the death of a patient, if that patient dies of a heart attack following the administration of ECT, or dies of other causes which could be linked to ECT, and if not, whether they have plans to implement such procedures; andBaroness Cumberlege: There is no procedure specific to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for ensuring that it is cited as a cause or contributing factor in the death of a patient within two years of receiving this treatment.

Career effort at Upstate lands Mitchell first weekly honor
MACON, Ga. (Dec. 7, 2010) - Freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) has exploded onto the basketball scene for the Lady Bucs, and on Tuesday afternoon the Bluffton, Ga. native was recognized for her efforts as she was named Atlantic Sun Newcomer of the Week.
Mitchell, who ranks first among freshman in rebounding (9.5), and second in scoring (13.5) and field goal percentage (48.6) in the A-Sun, recorded her second career double-double in the Lady Bucs' conference opening 78-70 setback at USC Upstate last Saturday evening. The guard/forward scored a career high 23 points (9-of-20 shooting), pulled down 10 rebounds and forced four steals in 36 minutes of action.
This marks the first-ever weekly award for the criminal justice major, and Mitchell becomes the second ETSU player this season to receive an A-Sun weekly honor. Senior captain Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) was named Player of the Week during the first week of the campaign.
Mitchell and the Lady Bucs return to action Wednesday night when ETSU takes on 14th ranked North Carolina. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside Carmichael Arena.

It was only six months ago that the eco fashion community was stunned by an announcement from groundbreaking eco sportswear label Nau that they were closing their doors. Devoted fans of the green fashion label were deeply saddened by this news, as there was the general belief that if Nau could not make a go of producing sustainable casual clothing, perhaps no one could. Well folks, we are pleased to announce that Nau is back, survivor-fierce, eco-friendly, and as savvy as ever. Wisely resurrected by a core team of devoted former employees, the new Fall 2008 collection is proof that Nau is always in sustainable style, for the immediate future and the long haul.
Nau Fall 2008 supersoft cashmere/angora blend Flourish Dress in 'caviar heather' – $248
Just this week Nau announced its redesigned e-commerce website featuring its Fall 2008 eco apparel line and an even bolder commitment to its Partners for Change giving program. As of this November, the streamlined company will also, for the first time, begin selling its clothing through select retail partners across the country. The renegade former employees have hooked up with Santa Barbara-based outdoor 'leisure' apparel company, Horny Toad. As outlined by Horny Toad in NAU's recent press release, "We saw in NAU an innovative brand representing the perfect blend of outdoor, urban fashion sensibility with an unwavering commitment to sustainability…The relationship between Nau and Horny Toad has been highly synergistic," said Gordon Seabury, CEO of Horny Toad.
In these unprecedented, economically turbulent times, it seems wise that good, sustainably minded companies support each other and find dynamic ways to collaborate in terms of design innovation and business practice. We have always loved NAU's approach to versatile, eco-smart pieces that adapt to temperature and weather fluctuations – the Nau Chrysalis Convertible Overlayer shell from last season specifically comes to mind. The new Fall 2008 line features the great Nau basics like organic cotton twill pants and 'chi-nos' as well as asymmetrically cut skirts and the ribbed high-collared, cashmere/angora blend Flourish Dress. Recycled poly shell jackets and pants are ideal for rugged pursuits as well as around town cycling and touring. The Modus Trench for men and women is definitely one of our favorites as is the softshell Shroud of Purrin Hoody.
The added good news is the fact that Nau has preserved its GOOD business standards by donating 2% of sales to organizations working for positive social and environmental change. Although the Partners for Change program originally amounted to 5% of sales, the current percentage is still twice the most generous established benchmark and 28 times the national average for corporate philanthropy as a percentage of sales. Customers can also participate directly in the selection process via Nau.com and key partner organizations like Kiva.org, Mercy Corps, Ashoka, Breakthrough Institute, and Ecotrust are already in place.
Nau that's a comeback that we can all participate in and feel pretty damn good about.
Nau Fall 2008 Women's Modus Trench in 3 layer waterproof, windproof, breathable recycled poly shell – $425
Nau Fall 2008 Merino LS Hoody in ultra lightweight, breathable merino wool – $120
Nau Fall 2008 Men's Merino 3 Hoody in Zque-certified (cruelty free) merino fleece – $218
Nau Fall 2008 Women's Shroud of Purrin Hoody in breathable recycled (post-consumer) polyester – $290

Honda traveled fairly light to the recent 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and didn't unveil any ground-breaking performance concept cars. But it did use the event to show off some of its greener prototypes including the EV concept.
The EV concept hasn't been given a production name yet, but uses a platform very similar to the Honda Jazz and is designed to meet the needs of the daily commuter.
When the production version of Honda's EV Concept is released sometime next year, it will be powered by a lithium-ion battery and coaxial electric motor. Interestingly, the motor is derived from the unit found in Honda's FCX Clarity fuel cell car. The unit is efficient and powerful while remaining quiet at motorway speeds. It can go as fast as 145km/h according to Honda.
Estimated driving range for the EV Concept is 160 km, and this can be maximised with the use of a clever three-mode electric drive system adapted from the Honda CR-Z.

BANGKOK --Thai authorities say they have arrested a bar owner in connection with a lewd sex show mentioned in racy tweets by pop star Rihanna during her recent trip to Thailand.
Officials on the island of Phuket said Monday the bar owner faces charges of obscenity and operating an entertainment venue without a permit.
Local district chief Weera Kerdsirimongkon said the man was arrested Saturday as part of a crackdown on shows featuring naked dancers since Rihanna visited the island last month and posted a string of tweets about what she saw there.
One of the singer's Instagram photos showed her posing with a protected primate, the slow loris, which also led to the arrest of two men.

Life is a journey. We've all heard that before. Carving out a career path. Finding that special someone. Building lasting friendships. Exploring the wonders of the world.
What about religion? Many people today reduce it to rules and regulations. Even those who do opt for religion often fight against long-held beliefs. What if dogma was a map for that journey? What if truth was a path to real and lasting happiness?
That is the adventure Father Dwight Longenecker can take you on in "The Romance of Religion: Fighting for Goodness, Truth, and Beauty." It was a joy to read, as Father Longenecker wields wit, humor and the beauty of language as he takes the reader on a captivating journey through the greatest adventure of our lives.
From Cyrano de Bergerac to Reepicheep and from Tevye to Superman, Longenecker unfurls the meaning of the romantic hero and embarking on a quest. It's about discovering something greater than ourselves, undergoing transformation and finding the extraordinary
(namely God) in the ordinary. Father Longenecker addresses the mounds of opposition to embracing the romantic view and traces the connection to Christianity, in pagan myths and romance novels, and in superhero stories and fairy tales. He ultimately leads the reader to a choice, one that we all have to make over and over again: Who do we say that Jesus is? And what does that mean for our lives?
Even practicing Catholics can lose sight of this journey. We can so easily fall into the trap of stoic respectability and tediousness that Father Longenecker scorns in the introduction. This journey is not passive. We have to fight for it, and the fight, while messy, gives us life and leads us to the source of life.
This is a thought-provoking and inspiring read. I highly recommend it.

Generalized anxiety disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a mental health condition in which a person is often worried or anxious about many things and finds it hard to control this anxiety.
Causes of Generalized anxiety disorder
The cause of GAD is unknown. Genes may play a role. Stress may also contribute to the development of GAD.
GAD is a common condition, affecting about 3% of people. Anyone can develop this disorder, even children. GAD occurs more often in women than in men.
Generalized anxiety disorder Symptoms
The main symptom is frequent worry or tension for at least six months, even when there is little or no clear cause. Worries seem to float from one problem to another. Problems may involve family, other relationships, work, school, money, and health.
Even when aware that worries or fears are stronger than appropriate for the situation, a person with GAD still has difficulty controlling them.
Other symptoms of GAD include:
- Problems concentrating
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Problems falling or staying asleep, or sleep that is restless and unsatisfying
- Restlessness when awake
Other physical symptoms may also be present. These can include muscle tension, upset stomach, sweating, or difficulty breathing.
Tests and Exams
There is no test that can make a diagnosis of GAD. The diagnosis is based on your answers to questions about the symptoms of GAD. Your health care provider will ask about these symptoms, and will likely ask you about other aspects of your mental and physical health. A physical exam or laboratory tests may be done to rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms.
Treatment of Generalized anxiety disorder
The goal of treatment is to help you feel better and function well in daily life. In less severe cases, talk therapy or medication alone can be helpful. In more severe cases, a combination of these may work best.
Talk Therapy
Many types of talk therapy may be helpful for GAD. One common and effective talk therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT can help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, your behaviors, and your symptoms. Often CBT involves a set number of visits. During CBT you can learn how to:
- Understand and gain control of distorted views of stressors, such as other people's behavior or life events.
- Recognize and replace panic-causing thoughts to help you feel more in control.
- Manage stress and relax when symptoms occur.
- Avoid thinking that minor problems will develop into terrible ones.
Medicines can also be an important part of treatment. Once you start them, do not stop taking them without talking with your health care provider. Commonly prescribed medicines for GAD include antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
Other than taking medicine and going to therapy, you can help yourself get better by:
- Reducing caffeine
- Not using street drugs
- Exercising, getting enough rest, and eating healthy foods
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of having GAD by joining a support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Support groups are usually not a good substitute for talk therapy or medication, but can be a helpful addition.
Prognosis (Outlook)
How well a person does depends on how severe the condition is. In some cases, GAD is long-term and is difficult to treat. Most patients, though, get better with medicine and/or talk therapy.
Potential Complications
Depression and substance abuse may occur with an anxiety disorder.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your health care provider if you frequently worry or feel anxious, especially if it interferes with your daily activities.

As I reached my rental houseboat after arriving at the On Water Expo on Lake Cumberland, Ky., I heard a lady on the dock say to her husband, "If you can't relax on a houseboat, you're hopeless."
He seemed to grudgingly agree, but she had me sold on the importance of relaxing. From that point on, that phrase became my motto for the trip. I'm sure my publisher won't be thrilled to read this, but work took a back burner to touring brand new houseboats and relaxing on the dock with all of the people who had traveled hundreds of miles to join us at the 2013 On Water Expo.
Check out all the Expo action on page 21 in the Sept/Oct 2013 issue of Houseboat Magazine.

Bosler Memorial Library to host information session on bed bugs
CARLISLE — With Bosler Memorial Library itself working on developing strategies to prevent bed bug infestations, the library will host a special general information session about bed bugs at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the library, located at 158 W. High St., Carlisle.
The Bed Bugs 101 program will feature Greg Carrera of Ehrlich Pest Control, who will talk about the history and spread of bed bugs, their behavior and preferred habits, how signs of bed bugs can be spotted and how the home can be protected.
The program stems from the library discovering material that was returned with signs of contact with bed bugs. A bed bug sniffing dog inspected the library Tuesday, and discovered a few areas of concern.
Jeffrey Swope, executive director of the library, said there were a limited number of areas in the library the dog identified as having some level of bed bug residue or activity. The areas, which included chairs and books, were isolated and removed for treatment.
The library is continuing to ask the public to help by keeping a watchful eye at home and when they take out library materials. If they have a concern, they are asked to bring it to the attention of library staff immediately.

what will the students think?
Today I attended a meeting of members of the College, at which I and other members took the opportunity to speak about our concerns around these documents.
After the meeting several colleagues voiced their dismay at what they had witnessed in that meeting. One midwife, with tears in her eyes, told me how distressed she was that midwifery students and newly graduated midwives were present at the meeting, and wondered what will they think of their colleagues.
I am proud to be a member of the College of Midwives. AND I am proud to stand with colleagues from private practice, academia, and employed midwifery practice, to protect the scope of midwifery practice.
I cannot go into detail about the conversations. I have no intention to write anything that identifies others who were present at that meeting. I want to address issues that I spoke about in the presence of several hundred other members. These issues are of huge importance to midwives who practise privately; they are core issues for which midwives are prepared to stand up, and demand that our voices be heard.
It has been pointed out that homebirth represents a tiny percentage - less than 1% - of births in Australia; and that homebirth claims a hugely disproportionate amount of time and energy within the midwifery profession.
A Position Statement on homebirth, endorsed by the government's regulatory authority, becomes a new level of regulation; a new set of rules. Midwives whose professional existence is inextricably linked with the decisions around homebirth have an obvious interest in ensuring that any Position Statement on homebirth accurately represents our position. As members of a professional association we expect, and demand, the right to participate at a realistic level in the development of any Position Statement on the part of midwifery practice for which we are recognised and respected as experts. Our participation in this important process must be by invitation to organised groups of midwives in private practice, and not merely a general opportunity to comment on a rushed penultimate draft or 'interim' document that has already been sent to the regulatory authority for endorsement.
The issue that has divided midwives in this debate centres on which women 'can', and which women 'can't', give birth at home. See my previous post 'refining and redefining' for more discussion on risk.
There is no question that homebirth is safe for some women; the disagreement lies in who defines safety; who controls the decision.
I need to conclude this post and go to bed, but a serious point that I need to make is that the focus on *homebirth* is very problematic. Midwifery requires the focus, or centre of care to be the woman, not the planned place of birth. The essence of midwifery is a partnership: a midwife with woman. . The place of birth is of lesser importance. Yet here we are, expending enormous amounts of energy, and struggling with all the resources we possess, to ensure that Australian midwives, and Australian women, are able to continue to make informed decisions about homebirth.
What will the students think?
I hope all midwifery students who are conscious of the debate around protecting women's autonomy in the basic decisions ('Plan A') for birth, and in protecting a midwife's scope of practice, will be proud to be joining such a profession.
Post script:
Please see here to see what midwifery students feel and think about the ACM interim homebirth position statement.

What will we think, indeed. Although very disappointed at the stance the ACM has taken, I'm not sure I'm surprised. It seems things must get worse (for women and for midwives) before they can get better. I pray the 'worse' doesn't get much more so. For as both a consumer of private midwifery services (and I hope one day to do so again) and a student midwife (who hopes to be supported in private practice upon completion of my studies) I must maintain a level of stoic optimism. I must admit I sometimes feel a bit like a suffragette must have.
And I agree Joy - we expend considerable energy debating venue, which places the focus somewhere other than where it should be - the woman.
Here's to the voice of the minority, protecting the rights of everyone.

Stoic optimism is an excellent quality, Anonymous.
The fact that keeps my sense of optimism alive is knowing that a woman has the knowledge of birth and nurture of her child deep in her mind, and no amount of social conditioning or bureaucratic control can take that from her.
I believe that the struggle to protect normal physiological processes in birth will always be with us. Those of us who engage in that struggle need an ideal towards which we are working, while at the same time accepting the reality of the 'system' as it is. There are many 'systems' around the world that are far worse than ours, where women and babies have seriously worse outcomes than we do.

I recently got a kit that had a BS18xxx hammer drill, brushless angle grinder, 2x 6.2 LiHD batteries and a charger. The BS18 that comes with the kit isn't the "Quick" version which kinda sucks!The BS18 Quick is a great unit, but to anyone considering Metabo gear, be very aware of the fact that the unit in the majority of the kits is NOT the one you want!If anyone is after a new BS18 hammer drill (non Quick) skin only, talk to me
Sae: Metabo BS = Bohrschrauber = Drill/driver SB = Schlagbohrer = percussion drill/driver LT = Lighter Allrounder version i.e the new "standard" as compared to the older drills. LTX = eXtra Torque with some weight penalty and the side grip. (almost double the Torque compared to the older drills) Quick = Fastfix/Festool style chuck removal BL = BrushLess Impuls = Pulse functionSo a mouthful of the above would read: BS 18 LTX Quick BL Impuls and decoded as = Drill/driver, 18V, lighter allrounder, extra torque, side grip, quick change chucks, brushless motor and Impuls function. Variations are SB for percussion drill and lesser acronyms if it is a scaled down machine. I don't know if they add Compact for the 2Ah batteries just to confuse things further. EDIT: added Brushless...
I bought the Metabo instead of the Festool T15+3 (that i use profesionally at work) and so far i couldn´t be happier. ......The closest thing to the Metabo i found on the market is......
now you have another battery charger which i always try to stay away from, unless you didnt invest into the festool battery platform
Dutchie: i am guessing you cannot fit the angle chuck from the CXS on the Metabo but the centrotec drill chuck works well?
There's a 3.1 LiHD out there that's 5 cells in series. 1 or 1.5Ah will never happen because they're not using this chemistry on any other cell sizes.

Since Allied Signal Corp.'s powerful radio telescope facility at Fort Irwin, Calif. is an indispensable satellite communications tool for such high-tech organizations as Jet Propulsion Laboratories and NASA, the Voyager space probes, and the space shuttle, a dependable electric supply is obviously critical. However, even reliable power systems are not infallible.
Allied recently learned this lesson firsthand when an electrical component failed, putting operations in jeopardy. When the 1960s-vintage breaker operating off of the main power feed failed, this cut off power to the telescope and part of the complex. More critically, this situation created a dilemma for technicians. They had two choices: locate a replacement breaker, which was a slim-to-none chance considering the component's age; or upgrade the entire system, which could take weeks and an enormous sum of money.
According to Larry Wilson, Cognizant Operations Engineer at Allied's Pasadena headquarters, the radio telescope facility had upgraded most of its electrical system years ago. But for some reason, the breaker had remained untouched.
"We couldn't find a replacement breaker anywhere," recalled Wilson. "Our only option was a total upgrade of our electrical system, which meant installation of a new breaker, new pads, cables, and accessories. It was a very expensive option (in the ballpark of $70,000 to 80,000), and that was just a rough estimate."
The above scenario is not uncommon. When equipment has been in place for years, replacement breakers, accessories, and mounting hardware are often unavailable from the OEM, who seldom stocks replacement components for "obsolete" styles. Furthermore, you can almost never get such accessories on a tight deadline or with a limited budget.
To further complicate matters, not only was the part Allied needed obsolete, but the manufacturer was also out of business. While searching for a replacement breaker, Wilson found the perfect solution: an electrical equipment recycler who had the original breakers in stock.
When the recycler received the request for a 1200A breaker, it confirmed it had the part in inventory, quoted the order, and started reconditioning the breaker. However, the staff was dubious about the breaker's rating because of the way its model number was reported. The recycler contacted Allied and immediately sent a salesperson to the site to inspect the existing breaker. As a result, the salesperson discovered it was not a 1200A DST, but a rarer 2000A 4160V, DST air circuit breaker.
The remanufacturer came through with the rare 2000A breaker, restoring it like new in less than three weeks. The breaker's end cost was roughly $13,000, a savings of at least $57,000 on the price of a completely new electrical system plus labor and installation. Allied also saved weeks of downtime normally required when manufacturers deliver and install new components, and extended the life span of its existing system considerably. "They completely rebuilt it, and did a very impressive job," confirmed Wilson. "It was obvious it (the breaker) had been totally torn apart and everything redone, right down to the bare metal. We've been getting our breakers rebuilt through them ever since, and we're happy with their service and products."

Alleged Counterfeiters Arrested at Northfork
Hundred Silver Dollars Found in Pockets of Trespassers Didn't Have Right
June 15, 1911
Alleged Counterfeiters Arrested at Northfork
Hundred Silver Dollars Found in Pockets of Trespassers Didn't Have Right Jingle.
R. R. Foland, of Crane Creek, and M. M. Leonard, of Ruth, alleged counterfeiters, were arrested at Northfork yesterday morning by Officer Belcher, according to a report received here last night.
Belcher, it is claimed, had arrested the men for trespassing on the Elk Ridge coke yards, and when he searched them found one hundred silver dollars, but when the officer stuck these in his pocket he discovered they did not have the right jingle.
When questioned the prisoners claimed they bought them from a man, whose name they refused to give, at Iaeger for five dollars. Little credence was given this story by the officer, and accompanied by Detective Phaup Officer Belcher went to Leonard's home at Ruth and there, it is said, found several pounds of babbit metal, which, it is claimed, was used in making the "queer." A thorough search of the premises was made but no dies or molds were found.
The prisoners will be taken to Welch today, and will be given a preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner.

There are three things I've run into which are kind of nagging at me in Rails, three flaws in the logical purity of Rails' MVC implementation.
1. The Presenter pattern
2. Ajax MVC
3. ActiveResource model/controller confusion
Presenters are pretty much necessary in Rails apps of a certain level of complexity, and that level doesn't even necessarily have to be very high. I'm using a presenter in an app I'm working on now. I created a Struct, added HTML-generating methods to it, and got a ton of flexibility that I really would have had to otherwise use Seaside to get. But it's living in the /models dir, when it should really be under /presenters - or possibly /components, if /components wasn't already used for something else - and to bring it under test, I had to manually load its "fixtures" from the YAML file directly, since Rails' fixtures assume your fixture objects are ActiveRecord objects. (This raises questions about unit testing ActiveResource models, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax.)
Concerning ActiveResource, you define all your API methods in the controller, not the model. But insofar as ActiveResource seems like a networked version of ActiveRecord, putting the definition for something like Widget.get(:stuff) in the controller instead of on the model really breaks my habits and assumptions. I know it matches official REST dogma, but personally, it drives me fucking nuts. It just seems so counter-intuitive. I don't know if other developers expect to be able to simply substitute ActiveResource for ActiveRecord without thinking about it any further than that. That's certainly what I want to do, but maybe that's just me. Certainly Rails is still a long way from enabling that, and may never go in that direction, but from the standpoint of ease of development and simplicity of migration, it would be really cool if it did.
So what?
Obviously, the goal of Rails isn't to reflect the magical purity of a holy logical thought-form. The goal of Rails is to get stuff done. But the clarity of its original MVC model is a big part of its success and its elegance.
Even given the powerful personality of its chief kahuna, Rails is a community project, and the community's both huge and enthusiastic. Rails' adoption curve is crazy. As people are using Rails in all kinds of contexts beyond the one it was originally designed for, it's taking on all kinds of alternative dimensions. The bigger and more ambitious Rails gets, the more valuable its simplicity and elegance will become. That's the whole point of elegance: you reduce unmanageably complex detail to a few simple ideas.
Anyway, these are really just some things bugging me slightly, things you might have to work around in certain situations, potential pitfalls and gratuitous gotchas of the most abstract, theoretical kind.

Sounds like a design pattern to me.
Would be interested in hearing more about how you implemented the presenter. Struggled with something similar when generating HTML/FBML for a Facebook API call, which is triggered by an observer.ReplyDelete
In the end I implemented it in a FacebookTemplate class which calls ActionView the same way that ActionMailer does. Means you can use render and partials, but I'm not 100% convinced yet it's the right solution.

Champions Online Career Ends Abrubtly
In any case, as I suspect it will be weeks until I get my regular PC going (barring a miraculous recovery tomorrow morning), I'll be blogging about games my backup PC can handle for a while again. DDO, maybe WoW, perhaps Guild Wars or EVE (both games I've long been meaning to try but never go around to). In addition, the console MMOs are finally starting to pop. Borderlands just came out, and I think the decision as to whether I should get it for the 360 or the PC was just made for me. Sony also has some games coming down the pipe that might spur me to get a PS3.
I did try to get in touch with BlueKae and AnjinM in game, just didn't happen to overlap with you guys today. I'm @Yeebo if I ever get going again, glad to know I wasn't the only one using an obvious account name :-)

First, yes you should get Borderlands. Second, sounds like you are in desperate need of an upgrade. Hopefully it's something easy as a power supply.ReplyDelete
What horrible luck. I did get your friend invite, by the way. Hope you're able to get your system back on its feet again soon.ReplyDelete
@Jaydub: The PC that died is fairly new. Reasonably fast quad core, 4 gigs of ram (easily upgradable to 8), and some Nvidia card with a gig of ram. It's either the power supply or the motherboard.ReplyDelete
@Anjin: I like CO a lot, but I won't cry myself to sleep if I can't play it. RL stuff is coming up so that I barely would have been able to log until December in any case. It may be just as well that I'm forced to take a break.
Ouch, that is no fun. Hopefully it is just the power supply.ReplyDelete
You can have different names for your account address (i.e. what is shown in-game) and your account.
The former can be changed if both are the same, not sure if it is easy to do the other way around.
My handle is the same in CO as in CoX, also rather obvious :)

That doesn't sound like a power issue. It really sounds like inadequate cooling.ReplyDelete
Check to make sure all the fans are running properly....especially the cpu fan and the vid card fan.
If the fans are all running, try running the game with the cover off and a small fan blowing on the system. If everything works, it might be poor contact between the cpu heatsink and the cpu itself. get some thermal paste and re-seat the fan.
Sounds like you have a pretty decent rig then. Any progress on determining what might be wrong with it then?ReplyDelete
