The 7 Dumbest Video Game Innovations That Actually Exist
When you look at the history of video games, most innovations come from stuff that gamers had been clamoring for all along: better graphics, more intuitive controls and the ability to tell fellow players to eat a bag of dicks through a computer screen.
These are not like that. These are the ridiculous innovations nobody asked for, and yet somebody went ahead and made them real. Like ...
#7. Metazoa Ludens -- The Game That Lets Your Pet Murder You
If you own a pet but don't have time to play with it because you're too busy, you know, playing GTA and stuff, the Metazoa Ludens project was made for you. It's a system that allows humans and animals to interact in fun, productive ways. For example, by turning your hamster into a giant monster that wants to kill you.
Via Wired.com
Only one of those things isn't true in the real world.
In Mice Arena, developed by Mixed Reality Labs, you and your hamster share the same virtual space, only the tables have somewhat turned. As your actual hamster chases a piece of bait in the real world, in the virtual world you are the one being chased by a giant hamster.
By making the character in the game run in terror, the human is actually controlling the crane that carries the piece of food the hamster is chasing. At the same time, the movements of the hamster are replicated by its oversized man-eating version inside the video game thanks to a series of sensors and cameras built into its tank.
But this isn't just for hamsters: Other possible Metazoa Ludens games in development include Jellyfish Trone (a Tron-like game where a real jellyfish is the snake that cuts you off) and Chicken Pacman (in which the chicken is represented by a ghost chasing you through a maze).
So to summarize, it's a way to play with your cuddly pet without actually touching it (you can even play over the Internet), and it trains your pet to successfully chase you down and eat you (since it's learning all of your real-life evasive maneuvers and how to defeat them).
"Animal is prone to shit-talking, even though he's barely ahead if you look at it hourly."
To be fair, it is also a great research tool: scientists can learn more about animals from the decisions they make. And we won't really feel the downside until all those trained hamsters escape and figure out a way to make themselves giant. We can only hope that they'll let us play video games when we're the ones put in cages.
#6. Gnilley -- Play by Screaming
Are you so bad at video games that even Lego Star Wars makes you scream at your monitor in frustration? Then you'd probably be perfect at Gnilley, the game that is played entirely by screaming. Watch this demonstration:
You navigate the suspiciously Zelda-looking backgrounds with your keyboard and destroy enemies by screaming at your computer as loud as you can. The louder you scream, the faster they die. Yelling at different intensities allows you to bypass certain obstacles, and ... yeah, that's pretty much the whole game. If you get stuck, don't worry: This is the only game where getting frustrated actually helps you.
The best part is that makes no difference what you scream as long as it's screamed at the correct volume -- if your throat gives up, simply start an argument with your spouse or coworker, point the microphone at them and breeze through the levels. Alternatively, you can play while doing some angry karaoke.
We're not too shocked to find out that the developers created Gnilley in only two days for a game contest as a last minute idea. Originally, they intended to make a game that would use pitch and color in a creative and innovative way, but then decided "Fuck that, let's make it about incoherent screeching." Still, Gnilley turned out to be a success, and they are currently working on a smartphone version, which would be a fun thing to play on the subway or walking down the street if you're a dangerous lunatic.
"Hey, Chad, I'd like to talk to you about that wedding gift you got my wife."
#5. Biotic Games -- Living Video Games
Who among us has never enacted mild acts of torture on a video game character, gone a little overboard with the friendly fire in an FPS or spent an entire night building elaborate death traps in The Sims? After all, it's not like our video games are alive, so there's no (real) harm here. Well, apparently a group of Stanford researchers is working hard on changing that.
Biotic games look just like old school video games, only instead of pixels, they are made out of living organisms (paramecia) ... which you control by zapping them with electricity. For example, in the game Enlightenment you guide a bunch of shrimps across a small box in order to light up all the squares:
Not exactly Skyrim.
It looks like something that could come preloaded on your phone, but what's actually going on is this:
Which could actually be living inside your phone.
What you're watching is a fluid chamber charged up with an electrical field -- a charge that the player can shift from positive to negative by pressing the buttons in a small NES-like controller. The tiny paramecia inside the chamber react to the electricity by fleeing in the direction that you command them to. The chamber is also hooked to a small webcam that transmits the images to a computer in real time, instantly transforming them into video game screens for our perverse amusement.
Via News.Stanford.edu
Fact: Most serial killers start out by torturing single-celled organisms.
There's also a soccer game where the little guys have to push the ball into the net, a pinball game and creepy living versions of classics like Pac-Man, Arkanoid and Pong (sadly, they couldn't secure the rights to Shaq Fu).
The objective here is to teach kids about biological processes in the only language they can understand: torture (and video games). The researchers make sure to point out that paramecia are brainless microscopic organism that can't feel any pain -- but once the technology has been developed, what's stopping someone less scrupulous from trying this with sea life? Or insects? Or babies? It's only a matter of time before we get to that point -- mark our words.
The soccer ball is actually like a billion paramecia chained together.
#4. You're in Control -- The Piss Controller
Frustrated over the fact that not enough video games require you to whip out your dick and start peeing all over the place, a group of students at MIT created You're in Control: a video game system entirely operated through streams of urine.
Via i-cherubini.it
You wish.
That may look like a regular urinal, but it's actually equipped with a series of sensors that measure the exact force and location of your golden stream, translating that valuable information into actions in the video game screen mounted on the wall. The game is actually a version of Whack-a-Mole where the hamsters turn yellow upon being hit and are presumably so grossed out that they drop dead.
The game's designers see urination as "an activity rich with social significance" (we're not sure which kind of parties they've been going to) and argue that the game promotes cleanliness because it encourages people to aim properly. And by "properly" they mean "directly at expensive technological equipment." They also envisioned a wealth of other uses for this technology, from cooperative games to browsing through stock quotes with your penis.
Via Wired.com
*Sigh* ... Yes, Japan.
These "Toylets" are produced by Sega and equipped with several games, including one where the potency of your pee causes a girl's skirt to move up (but that goes without saying). Another one measures your peeing abilities against the last person to use that urinal and the results are displayed in the form of milk coming out of your nose. You know what, if we're ever in Japan, we'll probably just go in the stall.
And we're not even done: A game designer in the Netherlands managed to transform a urinal into a racing game named TopsPEEd (get it? It says "PEE"), devising a system in which the car will switch gears depending on where you urinate.
Via Kotaku.com
Is it a law that all urine games must have a pee pun in their title? Are we the first people to ever type those words?
The problem with this sort of thing (one of the problems) is that going in a public place is an uncomfortable enough experience without people gathering behind you and cheering you to victory. And if you actually enjoy the game, what are you gonna do, stick around until your bladder fills up again?

Children's Health
FDA Mulls Safety of Artificial Food Coloring
March 30, 2011 -- Food dyes used in everything from candy to lunch meat may contribute to worsening hyperactivity in some kids, researchers told an FDA advisory panel on Wednesday.
The data are far from conclusive and scientists point out they don't know how the possible effects might work. But the concerns have the FDA mulling new warnings on food packages to alert parents to the possible connection.
Over two days of hearings in Silver Spring, Md., expert advisors are listening to evidence and arguments on a possible connection between food dyes and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Some studies have shown that hyperactive children can improve after food dyes are eliminated from their diet. Many other studies don't show that. Even positive studies tend not to single out individual food dyes. Others only show improvement when parents are judging kids' behavior, not when doctors or teachers do.
"It's really murky. But that shouldn't be a precondition for taking action," said Michael Jacobson, PhD, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The group petitioned FDA in 2008 to ban eight of nine federally approved food dyes.
"Dyes are typically used to deceive people, to make them think a food is generally more healthy than it really is," Jacobson tells WebMD. "A fruit drink that has no fruit in it, what's the benefit to the consumer?"
FDA Considers Warning Labels
Though a ban seems unlikely, the agency could require food manufacturers to put warnings on packaging cautioning parents of a link between the dyes and hyperactivity in some children.
One 2007 experiment, knows as the Southhampton study, showed that, on average, 3-year-olds and 8- and 9-year-olds exhibited increased hyperactivity symptoms after taking drinks containing different combinations of food dyes and the preservative sodium benzoate.
The study helped spur European authorities to order warnings on packages containing artificial coloring. But Jim Stevenson, PhD, the study's senior author, told experts that the effects were inconsistent and it was impossible to know whether the dyes or the preservatives caused the effects.

spoiler:provided the foil for Shepard, and by extension, this cycle. All the other cycles took the Javik route (i.e. one dominate species over all others), whereas Shepard was able to unite species, help them to work past their insurmountable differences, build trust where no one else could. In other words, he did what no other organic was able to do in the history of the universe: bring the galaxy together. This is how he showed the Reapers that they were wrong and forced the recalculation of their directive.

A CEO's take on the sequester
By now, we've all seen and heard the parade of public officials predicting doom and gloom if the $85 billion budget "sequester" kicks in Friday. Both sides of the aisle apparently want us to forget this is a problem of Washington's own making.
The histrionics are entirely unnecessary. There isn't a CEO in this country who would allow him- or herself to get trapped in such a predicament — or would wait until the last minute to find a way out.

I'm running an ubuntu 9.10 server on an amd-64 platform. Everything's pretty much standard, and I've got Sinatra 0.94 running on a ruby 1.8 installation. I want to install passenger in order to easily configure ssl.
The problem is, it fails to find the installer.
I run
sudo gem install passenger
sudo gem install -r passenger
and then the next line,
both fail because the path isn't found.
Is there something I'm forgetting here? Shouldn't it just work, straight up, once the gem is installed?

let $X$ be a finite measure space and $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of nonnegative integrable functions, $f_n \rightarrow f\ a.e.$ on $ X$. We know that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\int_X f_n d\mu=\int_X fd\mu$ and on any measurable $E_i \subset X$
I should apply Egoroff's theorem to conclude that $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\int_X |f_n-f|d\mu=0$.
My attempt:
I broke the set $X$ to two sets: $F_\sigma$ on which $f_n \rightarrow f$ uniformly based on Egoroff's theorem and $X\backslash F_\sigma$ which is a very small set, i.e. $\mu\{X\backslash F_\sigma\}=\sigma$ and $f_n \nrightarrow f$
I want to show that on each of these sets, the integral is less than $\frac{\epsilon}{2}\ \forall \epsilon$ to finish. How can I show this for the set $X \backslash F_\sigma$?

Several area residents were out in the chilly weather Thursday cleaning up after several tornadoes swept through early yesterday morning, and one Smiths Grove woman is thankful to be alive.
When Marj Lemster walked outside Wednesday morning, it was a sight she never expected.
"It just looked like a war zone. It looked like what i imagined Bosnia would be, or Iraq or Afghanistan where everything is just blown up. It was just everywhere," she says.
She says it was the scariest five minutes of her life.
"We could just hear it getting stronger and stronger and stronger, and there was just nothing else we could do. We were just waiting for the house to explode," Lemster says.
The house wasn't flattened, but the tornado left severe damage to clean-up.
"They've been cutting up the trees and hauling them away making a big brush pile in the back so maybe we can eventually burn. That's been the first priority, getting the trees out of the way and getting that cut up. It's going to be a while before everything is cleared away," Lemster says.
She was without electricity until 3:30 Wednesday afternoon
"They worked really hard to get the electric back on that's what I, of course we didn't have any lights," she says.
"I'm sure some people did not think that they would have power restored as quickly as it was and the damage that I saw yesterday. They did a great job in getting all of that done, and whatever we've left out there, our guys are out there cleaning up today," says Warren RECC Director of Programs and Communications Rick Carroll.
For now, Lemster says minimal clean-up is all that can be done.
"Right now, we'll not do anything until spring as far as the yard is concerned. It can wait," she says, "We're just so thankful, I am just so thankful there's no damage in here. Nobody was hurt. Nobody was injured."
She says the clean-up process may take a while, but for now, Marj Lemster and her family are counting their blessings.
The National Weather Service confirmed an EF2 tornado hit Smiths Grove.
5,000 area residents were without power yesterday.
Warren RECC says all power was restored by 7:30 last night.

5 Ways People Are Trying to Save the World (That Don't Work)
Between the hybrids, the reusable canvas shopping bags and cloth diapers, everybody's doing their little bit to save the world. Entire industries have sprang up to cater to us socially-responsible types who want to leave behind a better world for the robots to inherit once they take over.
But, most of the time, making you feel better is about all it does. For instance...
#5. Buying Organically Grown Food
Why People Do It:
Seems like a no-brainer. Organic food eliminates the use of chemical fertilizers, hormones and pesticides. Getting rid of all those nasty chemicals means healthier foods and less contamination to the planet.
And anything that's organic or natural has to be better for you, right? It's like you're eating the opposite of Twinkies here.
Why They Shouldn't:
So what's the problem with eating healthier food and saving the Earth? Nothing, except that the food may not be any healthier. And that's even if you can afford the (much) higher prices. Oh, and the impact on the planet may actually be worse.
The funny thing about those chemical fertilizers and pesticides is that they were invented for a reason, and that's to increase food production. Turns out organic farming is pretty damn inefficient. Holding hands and thinking peaceful thoughts does dick all against pests that want to eat your crops and weeds that want to choke them out. The current acre of farmland produces 200 percent more wheat than it did 70 years ago. The same goes for meat and poultry. The chemicals did that for us.
Take them away, and suddenly you're getting less food per acre of land. According to some guy who won a Nobel Prize, we could feed 4 billion people if we went all organic. This sounds great except maybe to the 2.5 billion people who would be left without anything to eat.
A tiny fraction of the people organic food would leave starving.
Despite all the claims that chemicals used in farming are bad for us, it turns out cancer rates have dropped 15 percent since farmers began using chemicals. How is that possible? Well it's mainly due to people being able to afford more fruits and vegetables, because the chemicals allow more to be grown. That's one reason the average life expectancy in the US went up by almost 10 years between 1950 and 2000.
As for the environment, it turns out organic farming has its own issues. Because it is much less efficient, there is actually a shortage of organic food available. This leads to people having the food shipped in from much further away. We're no scientists, but we think that doing things like shipping organic milk 900 miles over the highway in a truck belching diesel fumes is probably canceling out any environmental benefits you might have gained from going organic.
Oh, and did we mention organic farming uses a lot of manure to fertilize crops? This results in a greater risk of contamination. Although organic produce only accounts for one percent of the food supply, it accounts for eight percent of the E. coli cases in the U.S.
Basically, you are at greater risk of eating a shit sandwich, which is admittedly organic, but still.
#4. Rejecting Vaccinations
Why People Do It:
Because the chemical cocktails in vaccines are poisoning our children! Depending on what websites or episode of Oprah you watch, vaccines contain poisonous mercury, and are causing everything from autism to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which is about as scary a medical term as you can have without using "flesh-eating" or "dick-melting."
Why They Shouldn't:
In a word: science. While the folks pushing the anti-vaccination agenda mean well (though some seem to be doing it out of a knee-jerk fear of "Big Pharma") their claims aren't backed up by the actual studies.
"Trust me, those medicines will only make you sick. Also, I'm sorry, you seem to be dying for some reason."
Apparently the whole autism scare was based on a 1998 report which has since been rejected by all the major health organizations, and was even retracted by its authors in 2004. In the scientific world, that's the equivalent of calling bullshit on yourself.
As for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, studies actually showed that the cases of SIDS actually went down 40 percent even as vaccination rates went up. This is science's way of saying "You are fucking wrong."
"According to my chart, you are a fucking moron."
A lot of the arguments against vaccination focus on the fact that a preservative used in some vaccines contains mercury. There are only two problems with this: the type they were using wasn't dangerous, and they stopped using it in 2001.
We're not saying vaccines have no risk. As with any drug, there is a chance some kids may have a bad reaction. But the odds of serious side effects are fairly slim compared to the risk of catching the disease if children are not vaccinated.
The thing is that when enough parents decide not to vaccinate their kids, those little germ factories start doing what they do best and epidemics break out. Then you end up with a little snotty babies running around infecting people like some kind of really cute zombie apocalypse.
#3. Recycling
Why People Do It:
We've all been raised to believe that unless we all recycle, our forests will soon be barren and we'll be living among mountains of our own filth, Wall-E style.
Recycling is also supposed to use fewer resources and create less pollution. What could possibly be wrong with that?
Why They Shouldn't:
The image of the paper industry hacking down every tree until we were all gasping for lack of oxygen was always ridiculous; we've increased the number of trees over the last 50 years as logging companies plant more to ensure future supply.
Equally silly were the warnings most of us got hammered with growing up, about tales of overflowing landfills, full of trash that takes thousands of years to biodegrade. At least in America, we were never in danger of walking through streets of garbage. Some expert at Gonzaga University, with a lot of time on his hands, calculated that at current rates all the garbage in the US over the next 1,000 years would fill up a 35 square mile landfill 100 yards deep.
This sounds like one of those "Holy shit!" scary figures until you consider this is about one tenth of one percent of the land currently used for grazing in the US. Also, this would be the accumulation over 1,000 years by which time we should have bigger things to worry about, like overthrowing our robotic overlords.
As for saving resources by recycling, this is where it gets tricky. Partly this is because whether or not recycling saves resources depends on whether you consider human labor to be a resource (that is, the effort to pick up, sort and transfer the items to be recycled). Recycling requires more trucks, more crews and more people to oversee the entire process. In Los Angeles alone there are twice as many garbage trucks than there would have been without the recycling program. Just like those douchebags who drive to the gym to run on a treadmill but still hop in the car to go the one block to the corner store to pick up their pork rinds and soda, it's not clear just how much benefit there is at the end of the day.
Also, re-using something is not always better than just tossing it away. A chemist at the University of Victoria calculated that you would need to use a ceramic mug 1,000 times before you would see benefits over using disposable polystyrene cups for those 1,000 cups of coffee. This is because it takes far more energy to make that mug and takes energy and water to wash it after each use.
Now obviously you can't take that to the extreme and go to a lifestyle of all-disposable dishes and clothes, and where every ink pen is sold in box made up of three pounds of cardboard and plastic. But the problem was never as bad as they kept telling us.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Why Head Injuries Are So Dangerous
- Limbic System This region, located between the Diencephalon and the intellectual Cerebrum, packs a big whallop in the human experience. We can experience joy, anger, happiness, fear, and many variations of those. Thanks to this area of the brain, our emotions get dimension and feelings—the color and depth that makes life a celebration. Together with the intellect, the Limbic System deciphers the messages it receives from below and creates emotional responses to them.
- Cerebrum You might call it the CEO, the Man, or the Head Honcho. The cerebrum is the intellectual heart of the very being. Here, the higher functions decode and respond to the various messages coming in from the areas of memory, thought, and even emotion. This part of the brain enables you to understand and organize your thoughts, to perceive the world and its meaning, to communicate, to finish tasks, and to dissect and solve problems. This is where reading, writing, and 'rithmetic create a masterly whole.
The hypothalamus, though no bigger than a pea, is also a whirling dynamo. It controls basic instincts ranging from appetite to sexual arousal and from thirst to sleep. Thanks to its position close to the pituitary gland—the master gland of the body—it also controls the hormonal (chemical) secretions that, as they propel messages through the brain, determine the underlying basis of what we are, how we feel, and what we think, as well as "telling" the pituitary gland which hormones to release for growth, metabolism, sex, lactation, and other "basics." Because it lies so close to the "upper crust" of the brain, it also helps regulate our emotions, motivations, and moods.
Globe and Lobe
The brain is not only divided into parts, it is also divided into two distinct hemispheres: the right and the left. The two work in tandem to make the whole "greater than its parts." The left hemisphere, for example, provides the ability to speak in most people. The right hemisphere gives that speech its lilt, color, and dialect. When a head injury occurs in the left hemisphere, the functions that are affected usually occur on the right side. Similarly, an accident in the right hemisphere will create problems in left-sided functions of the body.
Not only are there two hemispheres, but there are four "quarters" or lobes of the brain. Their functions are also at risk if a head injury occurs in their "section." These are the four "quarters":
- Frontal lobes are the most crucial part of the brain in terms of intellect, emotion, organizational and executive skills, and personality.
- Temporal lobes hold the bulk of the memory. They also make sense of "incoming information" and decide where it should go within the brain.
- Parietal lobes control the sense of touch, as well as the ability for reading comprehension and understanding spatial relationships.
- Occipital lobes are responsible for sight.
Knowing where a head injury occurred—in which part of the brain, which hemisphere, and which lobe—can help pinpoint the functions that will be affected.

Woodstock – a creative hub
Lauren Fowler
Lauren Fowler, Cape Town born and bred, graduated with a BA in Brand Communication at the AAA School of Advertising. After a brief 3 month stint at a web design agency, Lauren quit the corporate office scene to work in the field of freelance graphic designer and illustration.
Lauren has been building her brand around her name since 2008 and opened her studio, Lost is a Place Too (http://www.lostisaplacetoo.com/) at the Woodstock Foundry in January 2012.
Fascinations include: working in fine detail with black pen, drawing fantasy houses, cross stitching, typography, making music, singing, writing on windows, patterns, making "things" and the deconstruction of ideas.
Photograph by Andrew Brauteseth
Over the past 10 years, the creative scene has crept eastwards, from the heart of Long Street towards the East City district into Woodstock. Young artists and collectives are taking root in the city's more industrial areas and breathing new life into them.
Woodstock is one of Cape Town's oldest suburbs, dating back to 1666 when it was a farm below Devil's Peak. Later, the area now known as Albert Road grew into small groups of fishermen houses and farm cottages. Woodstock had its own beach that later became today's Foreshore. The suburb saw many changes over the years and is now an industrial and artists area with residential houses in between Main and Albert Roads.
Find out more about the rich history of Woodstock on the I Love Woodstock webpage.
The revamp of the area has been in motion for the last decade. The Old Castle Brewery and the Old Biscuit Mill were the first buildings in the area to have a facelift and repurpose. The most recent addition to this collection of revamped buildings is the Woodstock Foundry. An old hotel in its day, the Foundry now houses creatives and local businesses, where you can purchase jewellery, hanging plants, skulls (real or wooden), furniture, imported stationery, art pieces, sculptures, a cross stitch hoop or just get your hair cut while enjoying a glass of wine. This is also where my studio, Lost Is A Place Too has come to realisation.
Every part of the building has been curated and cared for to the last detail. The courtyard is a living piece of art, as one can't distinguish where the beautiful original stone work meets with the refurbished areas. Plants appear through gaps in the stones to create a centre piece, the heart of the building. You can find Vogel, Cassamento, Selah, The Lobby, Dear Rae, O.Live, Bronze Age, Opus and Lost Is A Place Too all at 150 Albert Road.
Just up the road, there is some major development happening. The Woodstock Industrial Centre has changed ownership and is being gutted to become, in my opinion, one of the hottest spots in the area. This building is set to house some amazing talent and should be a focal point for the public to meet and peruse local products. Tenants residing in the building include Thingking, Chapel bags, A Word of Art, Rosetta Roastery, Only Today and Social 1. The building is still in its construction phase, but keep a lookout for activity here later this year.
Right next door at no.48 is the third Side Street Studio building. With the tagline "Space inspired by you", this initiative is the home to artists' studios. This is the largest building to date that Side Street Studios has taken on and will no doubt be a hub of creativity. The new premises already boasts tenants such as Faith47, DAL, Stuart Bird, Bibliophile, Slice Above, Tera Brands, Nix Davis, Barand De Wet, Gabriel Clark-Brown, ThingKing, Cafè Racer Custom Bikes and The Play Ground.
Woodstock is a place of revamping, renewing and reconnecting, a suburb with its focus on looking to the future. With 2014 just around the corner, we want to show the world what we can do and how we do it.
Another Albert Road local, Vamp, is all about renewing and looking to the past to bring beauty and nostalgia back into our homes, with a modern twist. You'll find mid-century furniture, vintage kitchenalia that you once saw in your grandmother's house, and bright licks of colour that breathe new life into furniture from yesteryear.
Find Vamp at 368 Albert Road (Opposite the Old Biscuit Mill).
When people think about Woodstock, they usually think about busy streets with trucks, taxis, industrial buildings and beautiful street art on walls. The one thing that may not come to mind is organic food. Tucked away in Salisbury Street off Roodebloem Road is Wild Organics. All produce is fresh and all sourced from local organic, free-range farms. Check their website for more information or to see a product list. They also offer a seasonal organic bag for R150, which is scrumptious.
The last initiative I want to mention is the Woodstock Peace Garden. Ironically, I stumbled across this initiative online rather than in the area and I've been completely captivated by its sentiment.
Started in 2008 by Bruce Beyer, it was a barren area on Alpha School's property. The initiative for the garden was, "to create awareness for autism and reconnect with Mother Earth".
I visited the garden one morning and was given a tour, and it's hard to believe that a once barren area below the highway has become an oasis where "aquaponics" takes place. There is a beautiful labyrinth, a play area for the autistic children from Alpha school where they can also learn about nature and recycling.
The sentiment of the garden, as well as the name, say it all, in their own words: "An ubuntu community component with community food gardens, recycling and education opportunities. Open early mornings and late afternoons, you can have a key cut and use this facility in a variety of ways: walk the dog, play with children,walk the labyrinth, drop off branches for chipping, drop off kitchen waste for composting (Bokashi, worms, black soldier fly), learn about aquaponics, food gardening, research, Tai Chi…the sky's the limit. We are exploring worm farms, Bokashi, aquaponics, composting, recycling, food plants, building a food forest, re-use, sharing, urban agriculture, urban regeneration, symbiosis, art, water, autism, awareness, life, goggos, just another day at the Offishe!"
This is sure to be my new creative obsession in Woodstock. Nothing makes me feel more creative and connected than gardening and learning about the way things work. This really is a garden for all. The plants are full of life and healthy proof that a plant can grow anywhere with love and care.
Visit the peace garden at the top of Mountain Road, just as the road curves beneath the highway.
Lauren Fowler is a graphic designer living in Cape Town, a keen city bicyclist and occasional model (if you look closely at our branding you're sure to spot her). Follow her on twitter at @LaurenXFowler. www.laurenfowler.co.za

I have a general query about the jquery hide function. I have looked around, and cant seem to find a straight answer. I want to know if the objects being hidden on page load are still loaded in and then hidden, or hidden and then load once a trigger is called. Also, if the the objects are loaded, are there any functions that will only load the hidden element once it is triggered?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
If you call
This can result in a 'flash' - seeing the element appear whilst the page is loading, then disappear once it has loaded. The best way to prevent this is to ensure it is rendered by the server with a style of
Note that
If you actually want to dynamically load in parts of the page, then you need to use jQuery's DOM manipulation methods to add new elements to the page in response to some event.
As an aside to the answers already given.
If you use jquery hide() to hide an element then the element will be displayed if the user has javascript turned off - because the hide() won't happen. If the functionality or the need to show or hide is affected by the absence of javascript then its a good idea to cope with the scenario. Some example CSS classes.
Which you can then apply to the element, depending if you want to show or hide the element initially - regardless of whether javascript is available.
Hide if js is unavailable, hide if js is available:
Show is js is unavailable, hide if js is available:
I'm not sure I understand, to hide something with jQuery, it has to be already loaded in the page, unless you create it from the javascript. What do you mean by 'loaded', added to the DOM?
i think the content of the objects you hide with the

Theres plenty of room for additional tools, a reflective jacket or first aid kit under the riders seat.
We've got you covered with the Cruz Tools RoadTech M3 kit. It's essentially an EconoKIT M1 and MiniSet MSM1 combined into a handy roll-up pouch. As with any of the Cruz Tools kits, the tools are top-grade and lifetime guaranteed.
You'll be in serious trouble if you need to depend on the kit that came with your bike. Not only is tool grade grossly inadequate, but content is also seriously lacking. We can fix that with the potent M1, which contains our exclusive PowerDrive wrenches and loads of other high-quality tools and roadside items, packed in a durable double-panel polyester pouch.
What do you get when you combine a precision 48-tooth ratchet with extension and eight-piece socket set? The MiniSet, that's what! Containing the most common metric sizes - including hex and Phillips bits - the MiniSet is not only highly capable, but also likely to be highly prized, too. Tools are top-grade polished chrome, and stored in a durable molded box.
Electric tire inflator for motorcycles (also bicycle and truck tires.)
Pair of super-strong steel tire levers. Made of spring-steel, you can't bend them. Tapered ends of the tire irons let you wiggle the levers out when it's tight. Small lip stays close to the rim, reducing the chance of pinching the tube. There is a REASON that MICHELIN style has been the best design!
This helper tool from Touratech makes tire changes much easier in the garage, or on the trail. By holding the bead of the tire away from the motorcycle rim, these Tire Helpers give you more room and an "extra hand" during those tricky tire changes.
Accurate tire pressure gauge. The perfect gauge for motorcycle wheels. Holds the pressure, so you can bring it out to read the face. For example checking the rear tire pressure of a motorcycle with panniers can be very difficult to see the gauge.
The TirePro Digital Tire Gauge is ideal for motorcycle and ATV use, with a large display and accuracy over a wide range of pressure levels. Readings are shown to 0.1 psi levels, with bar, Kpa, and Kg-cm2 scales also provided. Reads up to 99 psi. An ergonomic shape fits nicely in your hand. This may well become your favorite tire gauge!

I decided to salvage it to the best of my abilities. Sometimes this works really, really well, and it did in this case, if I do say so myself. Some eyeshadows just don't take very well to being re-pressed, however; that's up to you to guess on a case-by-case basis. I've gotten the impression so far that the more matte a shadow is, the less likely it is to take well to being "fixed." (The sad example of my matte UD Perversion comes to mind. I killed it trying to depot it and then tried to re-press it, but I was never able to get it back to the way it was before. It's downright hard now, both in terms of density and in how much work it takes to get a decent amount of pigment out of it. I will probably have to just give up and replace it before long.)
Since many of you have probably been in a similar dilemma, I figured I might as well catalog the process and explain it in step-by-step terms. Hopefully this will help someone! :)
1. To start with, you'll need the following materials:
- isopropyl alcohol (91% is best, but if you can't find it, 70% will suffice)
- a mixing tool like a laboratory spatula (pictured) or a plastic cosmetic spatula
- a quarter
- some kind of clean, lint-free, absorbent cloth
- a dropper bottle (available at craft stores)
- a pan to put the shadow in when you're finished (which may be the same pan it's being removed from, depending on the circumstances)
Other optional materials:
- parchment paper to cover your work surface (available at grocery stores)
- a small jar or bowl for mixing (I usually keep the empty jars when I press or finish off Everyday Minerals eyeshadows, for example, as they make perfect jars for mixing other powders later on)
- an organza bag to make the surface of your final product prettier (available at craft stores)
- adhesive magnets (available at craft stores)
- round stickers for labeling pans (available at office supply stores)
- empty palette with 1" wells (MAC sells 4-pan and 15-pan palettes for something like $4 and $13, respectively, and E.L.F. sells 4-pan palettes for $1 that are just as good but sometimes harder to find)
3. I scraped as much of the eyeshadow as I could get out of the original pan into my mixing jar (after sanitizing ALL materials with the alcohol, of course) with my spatula.
4. Add alcohol straight to the eyeshadow in the jar, just a few drops at a time, mixing as you go. You want your mixture to have a smoothly blended appearance; it doesn't have to be soupy, but it also is easier to work with if it's not still in chunks. Take it easy with the alcohol; it will evaporate eventually, so don't panic if you use too much, but it's easier to add more than to take it away :)
5. Scrape all of the mixture into an eyeshadow pan and spread it out as evenly as you can while still being careful to ensure it doesn't spill out over the edges. Sometimes, you'll end up with too much of the mixture for it to comfortably fit in one pan. Lancome pans are slightly larger than 1", and the alcohol also adds volume to your mixture until it's evaporated, as well. I prefer to err on the side of caution and divide my mixture into two pans instead of one when this happens. You'll end up with two pans that aren't completely full, but trust me when I say that this is better than one that's too full.
(I ruined an entire palette of pressed shadows when the top layer of one crumbled because it was so full that the walls of the pan didn't fully encase the top of the shadow... it got everywhere and it was a dark shadow in a palette mostly full of lighter colors. Awesome.)
6. Lay your cloth down gently on top of the pan and let it soak up some of the alcohol, which will be working its way toward the top of the pan (it rises and separates like oil in water, but more slowly, as it evaporates). Once the cloth is saturated (you'll be able to tell by the presence of a wet circle in the cloth), shift it so the pan is under a dry patch again. Repeat until your cloth stops soaking up so much alcohol on its own.
Then, lay your quarter on top of the cloth and line it up with the pan's edges (it should fit just right). Gently press down until you see the alcohol "bleeding" out around the edges and soaking the cloth; then move to another dry spot and repeat. You'll find that you need to gradually press harder and harder to get the cloth to soak up the alcohol. You want to keep pressing and shifting to new dry spots until the cloth is soaking up little to no alcohol at all.
7. Voila! You now have a (hopefully) recovered eyeshadow. If you decide to use an organza bag to give the shadow a more defined pattern, you simply repeat the process in Step 6 - lay the bag over the pan and press down on the pan with the quarter until the pattern is transferred to the shadow in the pan.
8. Now for the finishing touches: apply a piece of adhesive magnet to the back of your pan and add a sticker with the name of your shadow on it so you can identify it later on. (I marked these materials as optional because if you prefer, you can also glue your shadows into place in your palettes. I only use magnets because I like to be able to take my colors out and re-organize them in different color groups, etc.)
9. Put it in your palette. Yay! You're all done!

Feline Health Problems
In This Article:
Diarrhea usually doesn't last long or indicate anything more than a mildly upset digestive system. However, if it persists for more than 2 days, is accompanied by fever or vomiting, or contains blood, take your cat to the vet immediately. If possible, take a stool sample along for analysis.
Dehydration can kill a kitten in a matter of hours. If your kitten has diarrhea or vomits repeatedly, seek veterinary help immediately.
In most cases, feeding your cat a bland diet for a few days will clear up diarrhea and prevent dehydration. Some combination of plain yogurt, cottage cheese, boiled chicken, unsalted chicken broth, bread soaked in broth, or boiled rice works well, although you might have to experiment to find a combination your cat will eat. Some people also use strained, unseasoned baby food. Withholding food for a day or two before starting the bland diet might help. Do not withhold water!
Your veterinarian might prescribe medication or recommend an over-the-counter (OTC) treatment. Don't give your cat any human medication without first consulting your vet. Some contain aspirin or other ingredients that can harm your cat.
Cats, especially kittens, sometimes ingest things that cannot pass through their digestive systems. String and yarn are especially hazardous. If you see a foreign object protruding from your cat's anus or throat, do not try to pull it out. You can seriously injure or even kill your cat. Take her to the vet immediately.
Common causes of acute diarrhea include changes in diet, partial blockage of the intestines, medication, allergic reaction, poisoning, parasites, disease, or infection. Chronic diarrhea can be caused by partial blockage of the intestines, inflammatory bowel disease, sensitivity to food or medication (particularly antibiotics), bacteria, viral infection, or parasites, or it might be idiopathic, or have no known cause.
Epilepsy and Seizures
In a healthy brain, neurons transmit messages so the animal can think and move normally. If the neurons fire randomly, the animal experiences a seizure, which can be anything from a momentary loss of awareness to a full-blown convulsion. Seizures can be caused by a host of factors that affect brain activity, including toxins, drug sensitivity or overdose, head trauma, and disease. If the cause is identified and removed, the seizures usually stop.
Idiopathic epilepsy (also called primary epilepsy or just epilepsy) is a condition in which no specific cause can be determined for the seizures. It is often inherited, and symptoms usually appear when an affected cat is 2 to 3 years old. Although epilepsy is incurable, the seizures can often be controlled with anticonvulsant drugs such as Phenobarbital that calm the nerves in the brain. If seizures occur only occasionally (once a month or less), anticonvusants are not usually prescribed.
Feline lymphoma is a common cancer of cats. It can affect different organs but always involves lymphoid cells. Because feline lymphoma is more common in cats who have FeLV or FIV, FeLV vaccination is recommended for cats who might be exposed to other cats outdoors, at shows, or in other contexts.
Chemotherapy can increase life expectancy in affected cats, de-pending on the location and stage of the disease when diagnosed. Radiation or surgery may also be used in some cases. Remission and life expectancy in cats with lymphoma depend on the location of the tumor(s) and how soon the disease is found and treated. The majority of cats live 4 to 6 months with treatment, 4 to 6 weeks without. The survival rate is lower in cats with FeLV or FIV.
Cancer treatment is a rapidly evolving field, so if your cat is diagnosed with lymphoma (or another cancer), you might want to consult a veterinary oncologist.
Your cat needs to see his veterinarian immediately if he has any of the following symptoms:
- Blood in his vomit
- Diarrhea or abdominal swelling or pain
- Vomiting repeatedly within a few hours
- Listlessness
- Repeated vomiting of clear or white fluid
- Vomiting of worms or foreign objects
Thyroid Problems
Hyperthyroidism—overproduction of thyroid hormone—is the most common endocrine problem in cats. Middle-age and older cats are most often affected, although hyperthyroidism can develop in cats as young as 4 years old. Environmental, nutritional, and immunological factors are believed to play a role in the development of tumors that stimulate the thyroid glands to secrete excess thyroid hormone.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism vary widely from one cat to an-other. More than half of affected cats lose weight and experience increased appetites, heart murmurs, or elevated heart rates. Vomiting, increased thirst and urination, and increased activity levels are also common. Some hyperthyroid cats experience, in various combinations, diarrhea, lack of appetite, weakness and lack of energy, or respiratory problems. Hormone levels can be determined through blood tests. Drugs, radioiodine therapy, or, occasionally, surgery are effective in controlling an overactive thyroid.
Vomiting does not necessarily mean a cat is ill. Most carnivores can vomit at will to empty their stomachs of anything that disagrees with them. This ability makes sense in the wild, where it's easy to get spoiled, potentially dangerous, meat. Domestic cats retain this ability.
Cat Nip
If your cat vomits on your carpet or upholstered furniture, first clean the spot (Dawn dish detergent works well), rinse thoroughly, then apply a stain remover according to the manufacturer's directions. Vomit should not leave bright red or orange evidence behind (the coloring is caused by dyes in your cat's food, which may even contribute to her digestive difficulties). Switching to a dye-free cat food might help considerably.
The most common cause of vomiting is hairballs. If your cat is throwing up small gray lumps, she is clearing hairballs out of her tummy. To help your cat eliminate existing hairballs and prevent new ones, brush her frequently, and, if necessary, give her an antihairball product (available from pet supply stores or your vet). Although these products are supposed to be yummy, they often have a petroleum jelly or toothpaste consistency, so if your cat doesn't want to eat the anti-hairball goo from your finger or a spoon, smear it onto her paw. Be sure to smear well, because she'll probably try to fling it off before licking her paw, and you don't want globs of hairball medication on the walls and ceiling.
Overeating can cause your cat to vomit, too. If the vomit looks like a ball or tube of partially digested food, your cat probably just pigged out. Try feeding smaller portions. Playing hard or drinking a lot of water right before or after eating can also cause your cat to throw up. An isolated incident doesn't mean he's sick.
Vomiting can, of course, be due to more ominous causes than hairballs or gluttony. If your cat's "vomiting habits" change suddenly or if his vomiting accompanies other physical or behavioral changes, take him to the vet. If possible, take in a sample of the vomit for analysis—it might speed up diagnosis and treatment. Although most feline vomiting doesn't indicate a life-threatening crisis, repeated vomiting can result from poisoning, intestinal obstruction, serious disease, or infection. It can also be a sign of food allergies, intestinal parasites, or other problems.

I know FreeToPlay games are financed by advertisements and/or selling additional content, but what about an Open Source single player game to which several people have contributed? And how can a fair sharing be determined?
I would suggest that you sell:
I'm sure there are more ways I didn't even think of as well. As for sharing, that's really up to your team and you but as this is an open source project and not something built in a corporate environment it would presumably be split evenly amongst you.
I would start searching the blogsphere to find people who have. Steve Streeting who lead the Ogre project was quite open about his experiences about making money from his open source engine 1.
Some projects have released older source to stimulate interest and modding after an initial closed-source start. The people at Wolfire 2 released some source. Introversion have been recently selling code for Multiwinia 3.
Joining an interest group at IGDA 4 or BCS 5 could also be a pro-active step to finding out more, and larger organisations like that may have resources to answer your legal questions about revenue sharing etc.
It's certainly possible to make money with it. At the very least you can ask for donations or distribute a version with advertisements. It will be difficult, and there's no guarantee you can make the same amount of money, but it's possible.
If all the contributors agree, you can always close the source, improve it, and then sell that. That's probably a much better approach.
I'd try to split "fair sharing" based on how much time the various contributors spent on it. It's quite possible nobody involved will be happy with the results and there will be no agreement that can be made. On the other hand, if it's open-source, they also can't stop you from making money off it - selling open-source software isn't illegal as long as you leave it open. If you can come up with a method to make it profitable, then you'd deserve the money earned from it.
Without knowing more about the situation and the game, there's not much more we can say.
The way people like Red Hat make money from open source is by providing support contracts. It's obviously not practical to charge customers like this, but if someone wants to base a game off your code, why not set up a formal support contract?
For more traditional revenue, why not open-source the game code, but charge for content packs and art? If people want to improve your code, or provide their own content, great, but your's is going to be the best, most fun and most professional, natch.
To understand what you can sell you first need to understand what your game consist of and it breaks down to the game engine, client/server engine, art assets, rule/value/balance assets.
So if you want to open source the game and still sell something you have to chose from the above one or more to keep.
Additionally you can also sell the "service" whether it is access in multiplayer games or in game items and so on.
You can also go the donation way based on the promise that you will keep evolving the game.
You could also have people donate/pay for you to work on new features once the game has a following. For instance, if a group of users really want the ability to ride horses in your game, members would donate money to have you put that at the top of the priority list.

Unanswered: Scatter plot update after store filter
I have 2 charts to display. I am trying to apply a data filter to chart B's store when user mouse overs on chart A content - simple enough i think. [chart A - tooltip listener code given below]
listeners : { 'itemmouseover' : function(item) { var filterID = Number(item.storeItem.data.ID); eventsXmlStore.clearFilter(); //clear any other filters that may apply //dbTimeChart.surface.removeAll(true); eventsXmlStore.filter("WAITS_PER_MIN", 158.7); //eventsXmlStore - store for Chart - B dbTimeChart.refresh(); dbTimeChart.redraw(true); } }
Filter works well, I've logged the data coming from the newly filtered store. But when it comes to chart.reDraw(), my chart's new sprite gets tossed to the corner of the container, the old sprites from the unfiltered store remain on chart B with stripped labels. Is there a clean way to refresh scatter charts after filtering their store?

Please upgrade to 4.1.1 GA and report back.
10 Aug 2012 11:28 AM #4
Thanks for your reply.
Treading slightly off-topic - I'm planning to roll back to 3.4 as it seems that chart axis "reverse" config option is not supported on 4.1 - (the option was missing in 4.1.1 rc2 src code as well as documentation) Would this be available on 4.1.1 GA?

I am not sure without researching ... as I am sure you are aware, Ext3 uses YUI charts (flash), where Ext4 uses native JS charts.
10 Aug 2012 11:55 AM #6
Ah, you have saved me some sweet time!
I started playing with the latest version of ExtJS last month so I wasnt aware of the history. Flash wont do, will give GA a go and report back.
14 Aug 2012 11:06 AM #7
There was a refresh problem even on 4.1 GA when different filters are being applied continuously to a store. I wanted the chart to be drawn *only* when a new filter is applied so sprites from the unfiltered store are not left behind on the surface(clustered in a corner awkwardly)
My WA was to unbind chart from data store each time I need to swap filters:
myTimeChart.bindStore(); myXmlStore.clearFilter(); myTimeChart.series.getAt(0).hideAll(); //delay series display myXmlStore.filter("ID", filterID); myXmlStore.load() myXmlStore.sort('SOME_COL', 'DESC'); myTimeChart.bindStore(myXmlStore); myTimeChart.series.getAt(0).showAll(); myTimeChart.redraw(true);

In a struggling economy more and more people are needing help when it comes to feeding their families, especially as the winter months and holiday season approaches.
Local outreach programs are helping those in need this holiday season.
"I have four children and canned goods is a big part of a meal and it will fill them up and you don't have to worry about your child being hungry,"says Laquana Matthews, a client at Manna Mart.
It's call Manna Mart and as a food pantry at Hotel Inc. It provides meals for those in need.
"We provide a good diet it's not just a box of canned good items that's hodgepodge together, but we actually have planned meals for breakfast lunch and dinner,"says Cinda Painter, Office Manager at Hotel Inc.
And as winter sets in Those in need of food assistance increases.
"Just the last quarter we gave out over 10,000 canned good items."
"It helps a lot of needy families and there's families worse off than mine."
And while Manna Mart will be closed on Thanksgiving Day the Salvation Army is giving back.
"We are serving a Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving Day from 11 to 2 o'clock. There's no qualification to come it's open to the community and when they come they can receive a food box and a personal care item box,"says Heather Gordon, of the Salvation Army.
Gordon says they are already expecting more than 500 people.
With the cost of food increasing in the past year its extremely expensive for people to purchase a Thanksgiving meal and with that being said too it's just an opportunity for us to serve our community,"says Gordon.
The Salvation Army and Manna Mart say they are always in need of donations such as canned food and dried items.
Clients can use Manna Mart once a month, up to 9 times per year.
The Thanksgiving Day meal will be from 11 to 2 at the salvation army.

What will be the true actual distance for both lens in terms of actual meters?
What is the actual distance for taking a photograph with a 4.3-180mm Super Zoom camera lens vs. a 55-200mm DSLR lens? [closed]
closed as not constructive by Mark Whitaker, jrista♦ Oct 11 '12 at 1:32
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I think I understand what you're getting at here. The puzzle is: the superzoom camera has a big "times zoom" number, whereas the SLR lens much smaller. That's explained in the answers to What does 'how much zoom' mean?, and reading that should make this somewhat more clear. The key point is that the "zoom times" number is just a measure of flexibility, not an indicator of magnification.
What you want is a way to tell how much bigger that telephoto lens will make stuff in your pictures — how far away you can be from your subject and make a decent picture. The answers to What does "angle of view equivalent to that of some lens in 35mm format" mean? will tell you some of that, but it's in detached, mathematical terms of angles and so on.
Fortunately, those angles can be translated into the real world. You can work out the math yourself, but there's also handy online (and smartphone) tools to do it for you so you don't have to remember the formulas. There's a nice simple one at http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/calc.htm#fov_calculator. For this purpose, scroll down to the Dimensional Field of View Calculator.
First, put in
Next, change the focal length to
Imagine two prints, both the same size, taken from each picture. The superzoom image would be a much narrower angle, but printed to cover the same area as the wider angle, so there'd be more magnification.
In this case, it's about 3× in each direction — if you imagine dividing the field of view of the 200mm DSLR lens in thirds, and then taking just one third and expanding it, there's your direct comparison.
But wait! Before you run off to buy the superzoom based on this alone, consider that here's where Why doesn't it make sense to compare an entry-level DSLR with a super zoom? might kick in. Because that 55-200mm is physically much bigger, and because it has less of zoom range, it may have less compromise in image quality. Plus, the DSLR has a much larger sensor, which will matter particularly if you're not in full sunlight. For these reasons, it may be that a tiny fragment of the DSLR image cropped and expanded is as good or even better than the full image straight from the superzoom.
It may be the case that either gives perfectly adequate results for what you want to do. In that case, there are other factors: size, price (especially price!), and zoom flexibility vs. system flexibility to consider, and that's what you should base your decision on.

Adult Kids & Aging Parents
By Rebecca Teti
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Our weekend forum is for issues related to "the sandwich generation." Coping with menopause, caring for aging parents, relations with adult children, grandchildren, going back to work after years at home. Want to hash out a difficulty, get some advice or share a strategy?
This is the place! Come join the conversation!
I am starting perimenopause and I have know nothing about what is normal and what is not. I am getting my periods closer together (every 21 days) and they are heavy and last a week (so one week of bleeding for every two weeks off) I am anemic but due to stomach problems can't take iron pills. What do people do when they are bleeding too much of the time? When do you go in and ask for hormones so stop the bleeding?
I have two suggestions--if you are not comfortable talking with your own dr. first for an answer. First, I am not perimeopause (yet) but have had very heavy periods. Based on recommendations of Marilyn Shannon (author of Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition) I started taking flax oil. That has helped tremendously with my own cycles, and things are now tolerable. Second, I've heard ibuprofen can help with heavy periods as well, but I think you do need to take more than the recommended dose, and with stomach problems, that may not be good for you. Hope one of those ideas might help.
Thanks for the suggestions, Mary Therese. You are right that I can't take ibuprofen due to my gastritis but I will try the flax oil. How much do you take every day?
Right now, I take one capsule at night during the first 1/2 of my cycle, then after ovulation, I take 2 for 2 weeks. I seem to recall that Marilyn Shannon recommended up to 6/day, if that's what you need. I think a capsule is 1 gram (1000 mg)?. I just get it at Walgreens, Wal-Mart, wherever. I know there are nutrition savvy people out there who will tell you that's not the best quality, and you should get expeller-pressed fresh flax oil or grind your own flax seed, but these capsules worked for me, and were cheaper and easier than the others.

Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measuring for Roller Shades
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will make the correct deduction from the total width to allow for brackets and correct installation. Roller shades have generally large deductions due to the nature of the product (roller and hardware) -PLEASE CALL FOR SPECIFIC FABRIC AND TUBE DEDUCTIONS. Fabric is usually minimally- 1 1/8" or more from ordered width on inside mount .
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• For Solar Shades or Roller Shades, make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allow for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-A special mission called upon three guardsmen of the 102nd Military History Detachment Friday that will be history in the making.
The mission is to record and document the various missions of the US military serving in Afghanistan in order to preserve the history of Operation Freedom.
Sergeant General Lee Tafanelli touched on the mission's significance, saying, "For furture generations to be able to look back and make sure we are accurate on the account of what happened and why it happened. What were the soldiers thinking at the time and it plays a valuable role at how we look at future missions, future operations and make sure we get the story correct now while its still fresh and as it's going on.
The soldiers will finish their training in Fort Dix New Jersey and then deploy for Afghanistan in support of operation enduring freedom.

Decoding scientific "mumbo jumbo" and learning how to turn complex technical terms into plain English is the subject of a new online course at Michigan State University.
The East Lansing school says the class is its first free Massive Open Online Course and debuts in May 2013.
The Foundations of Science class makes the tongue-in-cheek promise that students will learn "to speak mumbo jumbo" and amaze their friends.
Zoologist Stephen Thomas says he and course co-creator Julie Libarkin seek to help students improve their critical thinking skills and make better decisions.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is providing $50,000 to fund the course, which will be offered worldwide. Michigan State says Thomas and Libarkin hope the class attracts at least 10,000 students.

By MediaHowie
from Winchester, VA
About Me High-end Shopper
Comments about Dimplex Novara Black Electric Fireplace Media Console - SGFP-300-B:
I needed a console to support my 80 inch Flat Screen TV. This is it! Low to the floor, not too deep and slightly narrower than the TV, make it made for the application.Plenty of room for Cable/Satellite box/DVR, DVD, Theater sound amplifier, speakers and other media equipment. UPS for the system fits neatly behind the firebox; totally out of sight. Easy assembly. No negatives.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great piece for the price
By Satisfied
from Northern Illinois
About Me Midrange Shopper
Was looking for a standard looking firebox and mantel but was never happy with their dimensions. Gave up on the mantel idea and went for models that could fit under a large screen TV with space for electronics and other items. Surprised how well this unit fits and looks in my basement. Very relaxing and warm! Wish it was a bit longer and the firebox a bit higher but all in all, very happy with it.

Great Purchase!!!
By PseudoPyro
from Clarksville, TN
About Me Budget Shopper
I was so excited when we decided to make this purchase! We actually just missed having a fireplace, and since we rent, this was the perfect solution! The shipping was incredibly fast. It only took 3 days from the date of purchase for it to arrive. The deliver driver was great also. He helped me move the package into the house, even though he didn't have to. There are only 2 things that I think could be better. First, the directions (I did read the other reviews before I decided to purchase this, and agree with their comments about the directions). For only having 6 pieces to assemble, the directions were so basic that it took longer than it should have to put together...the pictures were very hard to figure out and there were no written directions. A little bit of common sense can go a long way when you're assembling this. Second, it would be great if there was adjustable shelving. Other than that, this product is fantastic, looks great, and functions very well!
Service and delivery comments:
The Service and Delivery was great and very fast! The delivery driver was nice enough to help me bring the boxes into the house, and it only took 3 days for it to arrive!
Nice addition to the living room
By Matt
from VA
The only negative is the instructions. I believe the pictures could be improved to aid in the setup.
