A user has sent in a crash report with the stack trace listed below (I have not been able to reproduce the crash myself, but every other crash this user has reported has been a valid bug, even when I couldn't reproduce the effect). The application is a reference-counted Objective-C/Cocoa app.
If I am interpreting it correctly, the crash is caused by attempting to send a
drawerDidOpen: message to a deallocated object. The only object that should be receiving
drawerDidOpen: is the drawer's delegate object (nowhere does any object register to receive drawer notifications), and the drawer's delegate object is instantiated via the XIB/NIB file, wired to the delegate outlet of the drawer, and not referenced anywhere else.
Given that, how can I protect against the delegate getting dealloc'd before the drawer notification? Or, alternately, what have I misinterpreted that might be causing the crash?

edit: To clarify: This crash happened once in thousands or maybe tens of thousands of virtually-identical usage scenarios. I don't retain/release/alloc/dealloc/anything-memory-management the delegate object anywhere in my code; I don't register any object for any drawer notifications of any kind in my code; my code has no variables (nor ivars) pointing to the delegate object.
What it looks like to me is that when the NIB was unloaded (as in whatever the Cocoa system does when the document window gets closed), somehow the drawer's delegate object was dealloc'd before the drawer object itself, but the Cocoa system is supposed to prevent that from happening (and seems to handle it correctly in the vast majority of cases).

Life Some Suggestions For Your New Individual Right to Bear Arms
posted by June 26 at 16:22 PMon
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Enjoying your recently expanded rights under the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution? Wait, let me adjust that quote above to reflect the Roberts-court interpretation:
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Ahh, with those pesky commas out of the way, we can finally get down to business and discuss the meaning of your new rights—the only rights we're likely to see expanded in our lifetimes.
If you get a firearm:
1. You have a reasonable chance of shooting yourself:
Between June 1, 1992, to May 31, 1994 about 34,485 accidentally injured themselves non-fatally with a firearm. This averages out to about 18,000 non-fatal injuries a year.
2. If you manage to not shoot yourself, you have a reasonable chance of harming yourself with the gun anyways:
Not counting those who shot themselves, about sixteen-thousand people injury themselves with firearms each year in the United States sufficiently to require a visit to the emergency room. Usually these injuries were the result of the routine handling of firearms, with 43% from recoil.
3. About half of children unintentionally shot—don't worry, the majority of children intentionally shot are minorities—are shot in their own homes, with their parents own gun. Another 40% are shot in the house of a friend or relative. To those of you working through the math, 90% of children injured by firearms are injured by a parent, relative or friend's gun.
4. Somewhere between 2% and 12% of children live in a home with a firearm.
Four practices, in combination, can dramatically reduce the risk of these children injuring themselves with the household's firearm:
1. Store the gun unloaded.
2. Store the gun away from the ammo.
3. Lock up the firearm.
4. Lock up the ammo.
5. Programs that teach children gun safety—like the NRA Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program—do not decrease the chance that young children will handle or attempt to fire a handgun they stumble upon.
Have fun! Try to not to blast away too many of your children your neighbor or yourself—even if is your Constitutional right.
And remember, I still believe bicyclists and pedestrians in Seattle should be mandated to carry loaded firearms at all times.

Over 100 friends of SCC turnout in Midway
Above: Former Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones and his wife Libby, left, hosted a "friendraiser" event for St. Catharine College at Woodburn Hall in Midway, Ky. on April 14. Also pictured are SCC President William D. Huston and his wife Linda, center, along with SCC supporters Len and Susan Spalding, right.
Historic Woodburn Hall in Midway, Kentucky was the setting for a St. Catharine College "friendraiser" held on Thursday, April 14. Nearly 100 friends and supporters of the College gathered at the event, hosted by Brereton and Elizabeth Jones, in order to learn more about St. Catharine College and the exciting developments happening on Campus. Entertainment was provided by the Harry Pickens Trio, renowned jazz artists.
"This event served as a wonderful opportunity for us to share information about St. Catharine College with others in Central Kentucky," said Jenna Copple, Vice President for Advancement at SCC. "Having a four-year Catholic College in this area is a great asset for the citizens of this region. The fact that we will begin our Master's Degree Programs in the Spring of 2012 opens up even more opportunities for both traditional and non-traditional students."
William D. Huston, President of St. Catharine College, spoke briefly about the College's growth and shared the Campus Master Plan, which includes renovation of the athletic fields, new dormitories, and the Emily W. Hundley Library and Center for Graduate Studies, slated for groundbreaking this fall.

Regis Philbin says a poignant good-bye to 'Live with Regis and Kelly'
I can't say I've ever been an actual fan of Regis Philbin's or "Live with Regis and Kelly" (or, prior to that "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee." But he's an institution, and it's hard to deny he's a master of the morning genre, a friendly face to hang out with while you stagger through your morning coffee. And it may just seem like affable chatter, but watching others try and fail to engage audiences proves it's not as simple as it seems. While Hoda Kotb seems largely overwhelmed by Kathie Lee Gifford on "Today," Regis was able to go toe-to-toe with the lunatic without seeming like a bully, which speaks to some magical television skills.
But even I have to admit Reege isn't the man he used to be. In recent years, he's come across like a doddering old uncle you don't want to be stuck next to at Thanksgiving dinner. He forgets words, goes on tangents and generally seems distracted. The man is 80, for crying out loud. After 28 years, it's time to hang it up.
We watch Ripa and Philbin walk out to the stage the last time, a short segment that is surprisingly moving. Ripa clutches a tissue in her hand, ready to stem the waterworks, and Philbin seems more concerned with making her feel better than soaking up the moment. Okay, not entirely. He's still Regis and he soaks up plenty of applause by the time they get to the stage, but still, it's a nice moment.
The stage show starts off with some goofy humor. We see the guests who've had imitations of Philbin. The worst imitation? Ben Affleck. Best? Neil Patrick Harris. And thus begins a show that could be "This Is Your Life," just with better video and music.
New York City Mayor Bloomberg stops by to make suggestions on jobs Regis Philbin could move into now that he's available (lots of Photoshopped pictures of him as the Naked Cowboy, making dogs at Grey's Papaya, etc.), then gives him the key to the city. We get taped farewells from Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake and a host of other young stars (we grew up with you, Regis!).
His daughers Joanna and JJ fondly recount cute stories from their childhood. Philbin smiles throughout, but never gets too sucked in. "Too long, but okay," Philbin says after a montage of great moments with Kelly (absolutely true), then cracks jokes throughout Kelly's tearful speech about working with Regis. As hard as the producers are trying to get waterworks flowing (and it may be working on the studio audience, which is stuffed with stars like Diane Sawyer), Philbin isn't giving in.
The only time when Regis seems to struggle with emotion is during a tweaked rendition of "Seasons of Love" from Rent, but still, he hangs tough. After the president of The Walt Disney Company comes out to tell him a plaque celebrating him will be placed on the building (a moment that really didn't need to be televised), Regis gives a short speech, thanks everybody, and the show is over, just like that.
It's not a great show, not even a particularly moving show (Philbin wasn't going there, thank you very much). But it wasn't a bad way to say goodbye, and Philbin's instincts were right -- he didn't want to go out on a treacly, gooey note. He just wanted to say he had a good time and walk out with his head held high. There's a reason why he's an institution.
Did you watch the show? Are you a Philbin fan?

Wretched Retirement Realities
As much as retirement is a "lifestyle," it all comes down to numbers: how much do you save, how much do your investments return, and how much income will your nest egg provide. Will your numbers add up to a full-figured retirement?
By Robert Brokamp (TMF Bro)
March 24, 2004
Ah, retirement. A time for travel, hobbies, family, and the "stick sports" (golf, fishing, shuffleboard, and walking along the beach with a metal detector).
Also, $1.25 million. That's how much you'd need if you wanted your savings to provide $50,000 of inflation-adjusted retirement income every year, with a good chance that you wouldn't outlive your money.
We don't mean to tarnish your visions of unfettered free time and leisure activities. In fact, we think you should keep your dream retirement forefront in your mind -- it'll motivate you to work for that day when you no longer have to work.
But like so much in life, being able to kiss the boss goodbye is a numbers game. Here are some of the numbers to consider as you work for that full-figured retirement.
1. 4% to 6%
Let's start with that $1.25 million mentioned earlier. Most studies indicate that if you want your savings to last, you shouldn't withdraw more than 4% to 6% each year (4% of $1.25 million is $50,000). The exact amount depends on many factors, including how long you plan to live. OK, so you can't "plan" your life expectancy, but someone who retires at age 60 and is in good health should withdraw a smaller percentage of assets than should a veteran of World War I (of which there are less than 1,000 still alive, though Alfred Pugh, the last wounded veteran of the war, died earlier this year).
Your withdrawal rate also depends on your other sources of retirement income (Social Security, pension, part-time work). If your other sources are significant, you can look at your withdrawal rate in two ways: (1) You won't need much from savings, so you just take out a little at a time, leaving the rest for emergencies and/or your heirs; or (2) you have other sources of income to fall back on if you outlive your savings, so you can bump up your withdrawal rate.
If you don't expect a huge chunk of income to come from sources other than your savings, then you need to be more conservative with your withdrawal rate -- and more aggressive with your savings rate, if you're not yet retired. (You still have a few weeks left to contribute to a 2003 IRA.) For more on withdrawal rates -- and there is much more -- read How Much Are You Gonna Take?
2. $3,200 to $4,800
Given a withdrawal rate, you can apply it to your own savings to see how much retirement income your current savings could provide. This offers a quick snapshot of where you are -- and how far you might have to go. As an example, let's look at a hypothetical saver, using some real-life stats.
According to various sources, including the Employee Benefit Research Institute and Alicia Munnell and Annika Sunden's Coming Up Short, the median balance in a 401(k) is about $40,000. The Investment Company Institute says that the median balance in a traditional IRA is $30,000, and the median balance in a Roth IRA is $10,00.
So, let's assume our hypothetical saver has one of each of these accounts, along with the median balances, resulting in a total retirement savings of $80,000. Applying our 4% to 6% withdrawal rate, we get annual retirement income of $3,200 to $4,800. Not a whole lot, is it?
3. $3,300
So, as a nation, we're not saving enough. There are lots of reasons for this, one of which is our unwillingness to forgo current consumption in order to save for a goal years -- even decades -- down the road.
However, not saving has a real cost today, at least when it comes to using retirement accounts. The less that is contributed to a 401(k), 403(b), or similar account, the more taxes are paid, since contributions are essentially tax-deductible. Plus, workers who don't participate miss out on the employer match (if there is one).
Again, let's look at an example. If a worker earns $60,0

Skip to comments.Survey: Most are financially illiterate
Posted on 07/30/2004 10:09:15 AM PDT by OldBlondBabe
One of every 73 U.S. households filed for bankruptcy last year, an all-time high, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. One of 69 filed in Michigan, ranking the state 19th for the most filed bankruptcies. This comes as no surprise to Pontiac resident Noah Coleman, 22. Coleman said he represents the most poorly educated social class when it comes to financial literacy, and the reason for so many bankruptcies is people are not being taught how to manage their money.
A recent survey conducted by Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, a Washington, D.C., firm that works to ensure that basic personal financial management skills are attained during grades K-12, reported that 68 percent of 4,000 students taking the Jump$tart finance survey received failing scores.
Eighty-five percent said they had never taken a personal finance course before, and only 26 percent reported that their parents actively taught them how to manage money.
As a graduate of Pontiac Central High School in 1999, Coleman said he was never offered any courses in money management, nor was he trained in governing his credit.
It wasn't until his fiancee Natalie Jones, 22, started taking financial management courses that he learned the "ins and outs" of the credit industry.
"There's a lot of things we don't know because no one ever sat down to teach us," Coleman said. "Then when you turn 18, companies start sending you all of these credit cards, saying you can spend up to $1,000 and only have to pay back $15 a month. But what you don't know is you're only paying back the interest -you haven't even started paying back the $1,000 yet."
Coleman's case is much like those of the 64 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds who don't know they pay interest rates on their credit cards, according to Lee Bailey, chairman of Credit Advantage, a West Bloomfield educational program designed to teach people how to establish, maintain and improve their credit ratings.
Bailey said he's found people of every age and ethnic group who don't know how to manage money. Because of this, he concluded 9 is a good age to start learning about credit.
"Building character starts when you're young, and good character is basically what having good credit is all about," Bailey said.
"If you begin as a youth showing responsibility and doing what you say you're going to do, then you'll do the same as an adult when it comes to paying your bills on time. That's the goal of establishing credit - showing that you can be responsible."
Jones, a child care provider in Pontiac planning to open her own daycare center soon, said she's always been a responsible person.
But as a graduate of Pontiac Northern High School's class of 1999, she agrees with Coleman, saying she, too, fell victim to the "credit card game" early in life.
"Now that we're planning a wedding and trying to purchase a house all within the next year, I knew there were some things I needed to learn about managing my money," Jones said. "But look what it took for me to take the initiative. That's the problem. A lot of people my age have credit problems, but they aren't taking that extra step to learn how to fix them."
In 2002, the Bush administration took that extra step with the No Child Left Behind Act, which includes a section that authorizes the use of funds by schools to create programs that teach basic personal finance and money management skills to school-age children.
For the 2002-2003 school year, $385 million made up the funds available to be distributed to state educational agencies, according to the U.S. Department of Education Web site, www.ed.gov.
With the government getting involved and organizations offering free financing courses, Bailey said this is obviously a problem that needs to be fixed.
"It's not just me saying the world is facing a financial literacy crisis, it's the U.S. Senate, bank presidents and even the president of the United States," Bailey said. "The system puts so much effort into preparing us to spend money, but not enough to prepare us on making good financial decisions."
Bailey said he blames 60 percent of the problem on lack of education and the remaining on individual effort.
"This is tearing away at our country, and it's not just one race, it's a national problem," Bailey said. "Look at the demographics, the amount of people filing bankruptcy is crazy. When you file for bankruptcy, that means you can't afford your day-to-day lifestyle, so look at how many people simply can't afford the way they live."
Some tips Bailey offers on managing finances are reviewing your credit report once a year, taking courses that teach money management skills and learning how credit scores are calculated.
This can't be stated enough times.
You know, I was struck by the same question! I never had a money management class and yet here I am today - a happy little capitalist with excellent credit.
Of course maybe some of us are just self-starters. I also have a career without having a "career course" and a 22 year marriage without a "marriage class".
I did go to Sunday School, though, so that explains the Christian angle.
My parents believed that the only debt should be a home mortgage. They had store credit cards, but paid them off every month. I have never had a credit card in my name, they were always in my ex's name, with me as a secondary name. I get offers every week. They get tossed in the trash.
Though I have taught personal finance to high-schoolers, this really is a character issue. While a teacher can warn, cajole, and provide data - character must be taught AND modeled at home.
Most likely your parents stuffed some common sense into your head, which is commendable. But when my tax dollars are funding public schools to the tune of $20,000 per year per student, I sure expect those students to graduate knowing that one pays interest on credit card debt.
Can anyone recommend some literature I can give to my 15-year-old daughter to help her out. As a fairly normal 15-year old, she doesn't understand how I "evolved" from a single-celled organism to my current physical form, so she won't listen to much I tell her. I'd like her to be well-versed in personal finance. Thanks.
one need only look as far as Congress to see what fine
examples of fiscal discipline we have going for us.
Well, this is probably true. but I still think it's funny that anyone would graduate from college without knowing how credit works. Of course, it would explain why lefty fiscal ideas are so popular with that age group.
Good credit can be a tool to the accumlation of wealth if one knows how to properly employ it. Likewise with debt. When managed cleverly debt can also build wealth. Example; investment properties that service their own debt and are then leveraged to acquire additional investment properties that in turn service their own debt.
My wife and I was in credit card debt. We payed the bills off. No bankruptcy. Everytime we get a credit card offer.. It goes to the trash....
If you're going to have public education, the most impt thing you can teach children is how to make money. Of course very few teachers know anything about it other than going on strike.
it's up to responsible parents
They set up booths at college registration day to catch the unwary freshman who's just turned 18, for crying out loud.
IOW, when they default, I don't feel sorry for the banks. They have no business lending to the uncreditworthy. Half of the job of lending is finding out if the lendees can pay the money back.
Sheesh! If I only knew what someone else came and taught me, I wouldn't know very much.
True, and then there are people like me, who have to survive a coupla trainwrecks in their lives to develop it.
Limping, but gettin' by ;)
Spend less than you make. Save and invest the difference. That is all.
There's nothing wrong with credit cards per se, just pay them off every month. Get the right ones and you can get cash back or other bonuses. I get 1% back on everything, and 5% on gas which is especially useful these days.
You could be a sibling of mine! My parents have always lived the same way - no debt except a mortgage, and pay that off as soon as possible. Don't use a credit card unless you can pay the balance in full within a month. My dad's retiring at the end of this year with virtually no debt.
Type out a list of 20 or 25 questions pertaining to money management, give them to your daughter upon her next request for cash.
100% get her the amount she asked for + 10% to be invested.
90% sorry, failed
80% sorry, failed
70% sorry, failed
60% sorry, failed
50% sorry, failed
40% sorry, failed
30% sorry, failed
30% sorry, failed
20% sorry, failed
10% sorry, failed
failed= no cash
This test is to be given each time she asks for cash until she passes it with ease. The questions change each month.
Why is it that so many parents neglect to teach their kids about financial matters anymore?
The problem is, it's not the banks who pay. Any loss suffered by a bank on bad debt is passed on the the bank's other customers ion the form of lower interest on their deposits and/or higher interst on their loans. Deadbeats cost us all money.
This whole "character education" charade needs to be curtailed immediately.
When most most eighth graders can't read at grade-level, or solve a simple algebraic equation, I don't think that burnishing their morals should be the first priority of the government.
Besides, most public school teachers (note: I didn't say ALL) don't have high enough standards to teach character anyway. Most of them can't even model self-control, professionalism, or gracious speech on the job - much less teach values, ethics, or character.
Banks who lend without a care of how that money will be paid back--hurts us as well.
Absolutely! I'd be careful about being a landlord, though. Commercial land/buildings are a better bet.
My mom paid the credit cards off every month. I've been told that doing that will give you a less that perfect credit rating?!
I've heard about getting a percent of your purchases back on some cards, but haven't paid attention to it. I know I'm not organized enough to keep one step ahead of the end of the introductory interest rates.
My parents were old enough to be my grandparents. They weren't impressed with the latest gadgets, and held on to the belief that debt was bad. It is bad, depending on the kind of debt. It's hard to stay out of debt these days, even living a spartan existence.
My parents retired debt free, and had nice things and a decent car.
Absolutely! I'd be careful about being a landlord, though. Commercial land/buildings are a better bet.
Yeah, I learned my lesson about vetting tenants very early in the game. Now we focus our investment properties around two factors, proximity to a hospital and/or LIRR station. Nurses, techs are a good bet as well as people with solid work in the city. We're looking to expand south now...exploring Jacksonville-Ponte Vedra area condos.
Landlords go through a lot. When my folks house gets auctioned off, we'll be living with my older daughter. I'm hoping to find a HUD home, because I don't have any rental history, no credit, and at the moment am just receiving child support and alimony. No one is going to rent to us. Well yeah, someone will, but I don't want my kids living in Adelanto. Seriously, I've seen what some people can do to an apartment or house. I was hoping to buy vacant land. Someday I will.
Look for a spot through your church or the local Catholic church. I've found two good tenants that way, perhaps the reverse will work for you.

One of Canada's sexiest citizens, pop singer Avril Lavigne, recently tweeted that she has not been feeling well since the Fall and she has cancelled all kinds of performances and tours as a result. The thirty year old has confessed that she has been having some health issues. This might have beed partly due to her recent conflicts with Nickleback singer Chad Kroeger. As it seems,that sexy Avril might be having some real sorrows these days, one nice way to keep her in our thoughts is to take a look back at some of her hottest photos from the past.
Avril Lavigne is hot, young and sexy. However, that does not mean that she is not immune to wardrobe slip ups. In these photos the wild child was not pretending to be wild as usually. Instead she was playing on a yacht in some luxurious locale in a teeny weeny strapless purple bikini and her breasts began to pop out of her top, exposing her assets for all to see. Thankfully the star-stalking paparazzi was there that day to capture some shots of our favourite skinny but still shapely Canadian beauty in all of her nearly naked glory.
Avril Lavigne has been kind of out of the spotlight when it comes to celebrity gossip lately, but today she has made her come back by appearing in a slew of photos. We'repretty sure that her fans will be thankful for it,be cause we gotta accept that she is looking real good.
After all the mess that she has been involved with her divorce, and her continuous dating, she has finally settled down for the moment with Brody Jenner, and now Avril Lavigne is looking pretty happy about it.
Of course, we don't give a shit about that, but what we do care about is that here they are on a beach and that we are able to watch Avril Lavigne's tiny ass bouncing around in a hot pant. She even gave us a wink at her nipples with a bikini malfunction. So enjoy!
So here we have some Avril Lavigne photos that we have found on the web. She is a really popular celebrity specially among the teenagers that dream of being pop singers with pink hair who get married to rockstars.
Anyway, don't know if you are aware but Avril Lavigne usually does not use her looks at all to attract men. She always wears the creative, crazy clothes of punk pop singer or whatever she is, and sometimes she even looks like a boy.
Well for those of you that are interested, we have some photos of Avril Lavigne naked, if they are real or not we can't be sure at, but at least you will got a picture of how you would like to see her in any future time, enjoy!AVRIL LAVIGNE NEARLY NAKED PHOTOS
It seems that the so called rebel Avril Lavigne, lately has been trying to change her image of punk rocker and messy girl, with big pants and ugly hair, into a more sexy one, perhaps is the marriage vibe or something, but the girl is trying to become a woman.
On this new issue of Maxim Magazine, the chick is looking hot, no bikini though, but at least she is wearing some nice tight clothes that makes that skinny Avril Lavigne body looks hot. It seems that when she wants to, she can look hot and desirable.
It's possible also that her publicity peopleare trying to change her image,into one more popular right now. Not everyone that wants to see a pretty girl being all messy, vulgar and rebel. We think it is always better to look at a sexy looking chick like Avril Lavigne on this photoshoot.
Avril Lavigne was spotted on her bikini this weekend, and we gotta say that this punk rock princess that almost always is using baggy clothes, and things that have nothing sexy on it, has a really nice body and on this bikini we can surely see it.
It's pretty rare to see this chick on a bikini but here you have her, Avril Lavigne on a nice bikini on her signature color pink, we can see some nice cleavage, and boy she has nice tits, definitely we would like to see her more showing her atributes.
Let's hope that next time we can get a shot of Avril Lavigne's ass as well, and then we can fully confirm that this chick might be all punk rocker, but at least she has a nice body to see sometimes, lucky hubby that she has.
Avril Lavigne can be hot when she wants to, that's for sure. She was seen on the MTV Europe Music Awards, wearing a dress and looking good on it, i mean we just can't understand why such a pretty girl tries so hard to be and look like a tramp.
Later we saw Avril Lavigne on another of those award events, and she was back been the old Avril that we know, yes that one that looks completely weird and not sexy, but for our surprise the dress that she was wearing gave us a surprise.
Yes, the surprise was that it was a see-through dress the one that Avril Lavigne was wearing and that gave us a nipple wink, well almost, cause she was wearing some kind of shiny pasties and all we could see was shiny nipple, which is pretty cool also, like she was a robot or something.

This review is from: HooToo® HT-UH007 USB 3.0 HUB (4 Port, Bus-Powered, Built-in 1ft USB 3.0 Cable)
Pros: Good build quality - sturdy, thick cables.
Cons: Didn't work with my USB 3.0 flash drive.
Other Thoughts: I have a ADATA s102 32GB memory stick that doesn't work in this hub, at all. Not recognized. Tried it on my desktop PC and my Surface Pro. Normal USB 2.0 sticks works fine. It may be just my memory stick, that's why I didn't knock too many eggs off.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Pros: Cool, quiet. Fits in a Antec Sonata III case just fine. Right now temps are idling at 26C/78F on all cores (granted room is 64F right now), at full load it's at 53C running a Phenom II X4 955 at stock. No noise whatsoever, ever, even at full load.
Cons: Now I pinned down my PSU as a major noise maker, so need to shop for a new one of those now. Need to remove entire motherboard to install bracket. No way around this. I def. recommend doing this if you are doing a new build. Otherwise be prepared for a long project.
Other Thoughts: I didn't have any problems following the directions. The YouTube video is a must watch though. Some new (better) parts like a new fan latch system differer from the instructions/video. But all is needed is common sense to understand the changes. Just need to set aside a few HOURS of time to complete this project, and patience.
You will probably need to install the new heat sync outside of your case.
When I was removing the stock AMD cooler, the thermal paste glued on, fusing the CPU+heat sync together, so I figured the Mr. ZIF lever will hold my CPU in place if I put a little upward pressure. WRONG. The cooler + CPU lifted up at the same time. I did some googling and found out that I should have removed it while hot, at full load, and or gently rock the cooler back and fourth. CPU and Mr. ZIF system was fine, no bent pins, and locked back in place. Lesson learned.

Lol, I'm a she actually. No worries, I'm used to the assumption that gamedev members are male until proven otherwise; there are probably other female posters I mistakenly assume are male.
Don't worry about sunandshadow, surely likes games, but socializing certainly isn't his thing lol. Yet he posts here quite often... I think he craves social interaction! Sunandshadow, you just need the right MMO!
I like a little socialization - at a comfortable distance and times of my choosing. Like a messageboard or global chat channel built into a game where I can choose to participate only when the topic is relevant to my interest. Games that allow a player to be involved at a mild level in several interest-based guilds are great, especially if they also allow diceless roleplaying within a private forum or chat channel belonging to that guild. A global marketplace or other trading system within a game can also be a pleasant limited form of social interaction. I love games that let you admire/explore something another user has built/collected and leave a comment. I even occasionally enjoy a PvP arena system that will automatch me with an opponent (I'm much more likely to be interested if it is a turn-based sort of combat like tactical combat or a deck building card game). I just hate the in-my-face way many MMOs want to make basic activities within the game impossible or severely disadvantageous to not do in a group or as a social networking activity.
If an MMO wants me to play it a long time, the features it needs to have are solo achievements, minigames, collection and features for showing one's collections to others, sim gameplay such as crop growing and pet monster capturing and breeding, crafting customization such as being able to manufacture dyes and use them to recolor clothing or get tattooed, or building sculptures or quests/interactive stories for other players to admire. That is the kind of end-game (and mid-game) content I would love to see in an MMO. I think it's funny (in a pathetic way) that a lot of that is done better by the less serious game websites like NeoPets and Gaia Online than by real MMOs.
BTW I'm not arguing that a lot of MMO players are all about the socialization - I know they are. I know people who live for 40-man raids or team pvp or PUGging dungeons. I just feel like that demographic gets all the design attention. XP

I may be slightly off-topic here, but I've never liked the idea of being told a story in a game. It's nice in some cases, but generally I prefer to be the one making the story as I go along. After all, the player is supposed to be the hero, not just some bystander who just happen to play an important part. It's like being told what to do, sure it's a good way to direct the player through the experience, but hold his hand too much and he's likely just gonna quit the game.
Just look at how brutal Minecraft is to the player (I know, but these games do matter to the discussion because they're not as weird as you might think), in terms of leaving him/her to figure out what the game is all about and what they need to do. A similar paradigm can be found in Demons' Souls and Dark Souls too, and I don't see a lot of players complaining over those games to.
But to redeem my comment in terms of topicity:
A random/generated story can be really nice, I think, if it's general enough and doesn't tell too much. I thought the random quests in Daggerfall, for instance, where awesome - even though their syntax repeated themselves all the time with just a minor change to names and objectives.
The bottom line is this, IMO: Plot and story is important to a game, but telling a story isn't just about explicitly telling it through language. Just seeing a monster in a world, for instance, can tell a story onto itself - the demography in this world, biology, history, you name it. But because it's not explicit, it also provides a sense of mystery too - which I think is superior to any dialogue-based storytelling device.

Some of my favorite games of all time are Ultima Underworld I and II. I liked lot's of things about these games, one of which is how nearly everything was interactive, items can be picked up and dragged into your inventory, you can drag items out of your inventory and drop them in the world. Items can be used on other items by dragging them on top of another. I liked creating treasure rooms where I could arrange my stuff however I liked. Some games since have attempted the same thing, in particular the System Shock and Elder Scrolls Series of games, of which I am also a fan.
However it seems that now days the mouse is reserved for which direction the the character camera faces. Back in the old days of UUW there wasn't much reason to have so much control over the looking (although they did let you use the keys 1,2, and 3 for looking up, looking ahead, and looking down).

From what I've seen, you have to keep the community small. If a player has group-identity with the other players in the game, they'll likely behave better, but to build that group-identity the group needs to be relatively small and intimate. If you throw a player into a group too large for them to identify with, there will be no perceived social repercussions for troll behavior. Seems that might be why you can take a WoW player who behaves relatively normally in a guild chat channel, toss him in the Looking For Raid anonymity, and end up with a fsck-wad. He identifies with the social structure of the guild, and that identity tempers his behavior. There is no group identity with the random folks in LFR so the social constraints aren't there.
Also, I wonder how much an effect priming has on the players. You give them a game of murder-death-kill, splashed with imagery of aggression and bad-assery and rage, and of course you are going to prime them to exhibit signs of aggression and rage in-game.

Most games I've played have had imbalanced or good enough or sometimes even terrible combat systems + mechanics.
Pretty much just one game I think that had a outstanding combat system + mechs.
I won't get into the argument about why I think class based games are doomed to be imbalanced in the 1v1 aspect.
For sake of avoiding that let's assume in this thread that class based games can be balanced as well.
So why is it so rare to find great combat systems + mechanics in games?
I'm sure the designers thought they had created a great great combat s+m.
So this means that most designers are terrible when it comes to PvP.
And I've actually had the opportunity to fight a few devs in different indy games so I know it's true.
So how can we design better combat systems?
First thing I think we all have to just assume is that we designers SUCK at PvP.
Maybe you are great.. But you have to assume you suck.
Another thing before I'll leave it up to us all to start discussing how to design a great combat system + mechanics..
It's already extremely tough to create an interesting, complex, advanced, hard to master etc etc combat s+m..
but if your game has classes in it as well, then you face the additional challenge of balancing these classes.. Which I've never seen accomplished in any game I've played so far.
So if you make a skill based game (no classes) then you only need to worry about creating a good combat system without without sweating about class imbalances.

Being a person who likes to handle my own problems I've never asked someone to tell so and so to stop doing this or that. Its silly to me.
My fiance did this when I first came out as poly. He didn't want to speak to my now boyfriend at all, but he tried to communicate with him through me. I went with it for a little while, relaying messages back and forth and then enough was enough and I said I wasn't going to be a middle man anymore. They both knew what the issues were so they were stuck with eachother to figure it out.
I think in our relationship its important that we all feel we can talk about issues in confidence with one another. But the way we do it is, lets say I am having an issue with my fiance, I talk to my boyfriend about the issue and my boyfriend doesn't involve his own feelings into the mix and tries to be unbiased in his 2 cents about the situation. If theres an issue between my 2 boys, I listen to both and give my honest opinion as an outsider. When doing this I (early on) would cut out any passive aggressive comments or disresect one had for the other so I wouldn't try to come to the other's rescue so to speak.
It works for us because we are all the kind that becomes affected when things happen and its hard to hide even the smallest issues. So one mishap affects the whole group and thus I see that everyone KNOW what's going on. But theres a big difference in that and tucking your tail in between your legs and making others deal with things you should be handling.
Oh and SchrodingersCat, that's always a common thing with children that are not our own. Whether its a new step child or a naughty kid at a birthday party, its best to take it up with the parent. 1) kids are impressionable and 2) no one wants to get bit by a momma wolf! lol

Strap on Those Boards and Rejoice – Winter is Finally Here
Posted by admin in Family Winter Vacation Ideas, Headwaters Grille, Holiday Happenings, Skiing Packages, Snow in Idaho on November 20th, 2012
Strap on Those Boards and Rejoice – Winter is Finally Here!
This particular resort has a proven track record, and come November, Targhee will typically be the first in the region to offer snow sliding in the Tetons, the true gem of the Rocky Mountains. The Grand Tetons, these truly spectacular and massive slabs of granite, are not just another pretty face. The snow gods winter here, in the shadow of these majestic peaks, and they put out the welcome mat early in the season.
Decades ago, the Friday after thanksgiving was designated as Black Friday, a definite misnomer in these parts. Everyone knows Black Friday marks the official start of the crazy Christmas holiday shopping race and it's turned the retail world, and their customers, into crazed consumers.
Think about it, who's silly enough to set the alarm for 2 a.m. (or earlier), just to show up at 4 a.m. (or earlier) to wait in line at Kmart or other box stores simply to have first dibs on the hottest Christmas toy or gadget?
This is another testament to the joy of living in, or visiting, Teton Valley. There's no super-size stores blocking our spectacular views and the mom and pop retailers here would never dream of opening their doors in the middle of the night. After all, we all need our rest; it's White Friday at Grand Targhee.
Shopping in the Teton Valley
Yes, shopping is necessary, but let's keep our priorities straight and shop at home. For both locals and visitors spending the Thanksgiving holidays at Teton Springs Lodge and Spa, there are options galore right here in Teton Valley. If outdoor gear tops the list for Santa, the goods are plentiful. The Victor Emporium in Victor, famous for their huckleberry shakes, also stock their shelves with the latest in sport accessories, fuzzy fur lined shoes and fleece pieces.
Then it's off to the Mecca of ski and backcountry gear, Driggs, Idaho, where stops must include a look see at Peaked Sports and Yostmark Mountain Equipment. No need to set that alarm, even on Black Friday these guys remain civilized and stores open at 9!
The Teton Valley Winter Holiday Festival
Santa is front and center at the 10th ANNUAL HOLIDAY FESTIVAL & LIGHT PARADE hosted by the City of Victor and Teton Springs Resort Saturday December 1. This event highlights small town living at its absolute best (complete with turkey bowling!). The day is chock full of fun activities throughout Victor, fueled by a hearty pancake breakfast and Holiday Art Show at Teton Springs. Kids can plead their case with Old Saint Nick, complete with a free picture marking the occasion. Mom will enjoy a wide variety of unique treasures created by local artists with nary a super store in site.
Relax at the Spa, Eat Great Food, Enjoy a Fun Skiing Stay and Play Package
The Stillwaters Spa at Teton Springs is unequivocally the nicest spa facility in eastern Idaho and being in the holiday mood, offer incredible specials thru November.
And, who in their right mind wouldn't find total pleasure receiving a hydraquench, yummy facial or deep tissue massage gift certificate under the tree? Or, the promise of the latest chic haircut by Jill, Julie or Nicole? These are gifts truly worth opening on Christmas Day!
No one does Thanksgiving dinner better than the Headwaters Grille and for those sticking around to ski, the NFL Sundays at the Grille spell pure glee for football fanatics. Stay and ski packages reward snow seekers with a FREE night at the Lodge when you book two over this pilgrim inspired holiday. Now that's Black Friday at its best.
Tis the season, especially for those memorable winter family vacations in Teton Valley. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Sample Scrumtous Delights This Valentine's Day
Posted by admin in Headwaters Grille, Stillwaters Spa, Vacation Packages on January 28th, 2011
I love chocolcate. No, I mean I really love chocolate, and embrace any excuse to give or receive it. It's not just part of the reason – it IS the reason why Valentine's Day is my most favorite day of the year. I can't believe it's merely a lover's holiday and not a national holiday. I not only expect that a giant Whitman Sampler will be mine come February 14th, but I also reciprocate, giving a big box of gooey filled delights to my significant other. After all, he'll share right?!
Bon-bons just won't cut it for those romantics who have loftier goals on how to truly put the exclamation point on this special day set aside for lovers (or chocoholics!) So, I have a much sweeter idea for all the visionaries out there who truly want to WOW your lover come February. How does a "sweetheart package in Teton Valley" sound? Anyone who has been to this gorgeous valley beneath the Tetons knows that it's undoubtedly one of the most spectacular places on earth. Lots of folks recognize Teton Valley, Idaho as more of a summer destination – the scenic gateway to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone & Teton National Parks. Outdoor enthusiasts also know that Teton Valley is hands down the recreation capital of the western hemisphere. For my money, winter is even more special and romantic, in so many wondrous ways.
For couples that relish slicing thru deep pow together, the ultimate bonding experience has to be a heli ski trip in the Tetons (talk about getting your heart beating and that's what love is all about right?!). With over 300" of snow in the region thus far, you can only imagine what a day you would have and, drifting through pillow soft snow is only the beginning of this adventure.
After a day of ripping the pow, I recommend the romantic sleigh ride under the star-studded sky followed by a gourmet dinner at the neighboring Linn Ranch. Back at Teton Springs Resort enjoy a quiet glide across their Nordic tract or a snowshoe excursion off the beaten path. Take your camera; wildlife viewing is part of the tour.
By the end of this day you've earned an evening hot tub watching a brilliant sun set in the western sky. Your next stop is the Headwaters Grille. Sip a vintage merlot by the crackling fire while you savor something delectable from Chef's John special valentine menu on February 11, 12 & 14. Grille. If you can tolerate an additional assault to your senses, try the extraordinary hydraquench body treatment at the Stillwaters Spa & Salon.
And, did I mention carving your own signature turns on the freshly groomed snow at Grand Targhee Resort? Are your pleasure sensors overloaded yet? They will be. Teton Springs Lodge & Spa is the place to make all of that happen for you and your sweet pea this winter. Make it a surprise. Book a luxury suite; it's almost as affordable as chocolate. Or, consider this special Valentine Package. I think you'll discover two nights isn't enough but it's a start.
- 2 night's lodging in a deluxe lodge Room
- 60 minute "couples" massage in the two-person therapy suite with fireplace, followed by complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in the relaxing and elegant Zen Room
- Don't get up! This nice staff will deliver Continental Breakfast to your room each morning
- Complimentary snowshoe rental
- Upgrade to a one-bedroom Deluxe Suite for only $60.00 per night
If your schedule only permits a one night stay (with all the goodies or without) the nice folks at Teton Springs Lodge & Spa can customize something for you. Savor the taste of Teton Springs Lodge & Spa this Valentine's Day. That Whitman Sampler is so yesterday! Call 208.787.7888
Friday Fish Fry at Headwaters Grille
Posted by admin in Headwaters Grille, Valley Events on January 19th, 2011

I've always loved Withers's backporch, almost DIY take on '70s soul. The combination of his folksy burr and soaring Gamble-Huff-esque strings is very effective. Also he wrote some deathless songs. I hope he's relaxing somewhere right now, awash in royalty statements.

Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I
We look for love, no time for tears Wasted waters's all that is And it don't make no flowers grow Good things might come to those who wait Not to those who wait to late We got to go for all we know
I hear the crystal raindrops fall On the window down the hall And it becomes the morning dew Darling, when the morning comes And I see the morning sun I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building big castles way on high Just the two of us You and I
Just the two of us Let's get together, baby Just the two of us We can make it Just the two of us We can make it Just the two of us Just the two of us we can make it
Such a classic, classic song, made even better with the saxophonic (that even a word?) presence of Grover Washington, Jr. Interesting thing: I actually saw the ep of "American Bandstand" where they used this song as a "spotlight dance" song, and that was just about the classiest moment they'd ever had. Even the lighting was understated.

Bit of a tangent here, but does anyone know of any other West Virginia natives who (a) had a career comparable (quality- and/or longeivity-wise) to Withers and (b) weren't working in folk, C&W, or bluegrass? This WV native is curious. . .

It's really gratifying to see the Bill Withers love here. Good question about West Virginia; what's the black population there, percentage-wise?
The drumming on Still Bill is sort of a miracle; the backing band is basically the Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band, whose own records I haven't heard (recommendations?)--all kinds of crazy 16th notes on the hi-hat and stuff.

i just picked up the record (25$) of Charles Wright and the 103rd st Rhythm Band's "Express Yourself" for a friend. it has the song made most famous by NWA on (duh) "Express Yourself." the album's cool but i don't think it's worth 25$. if it's available on used cd i'd look for it.
and i didn't realize they were the backing band on Still Bill. that's cool to know.

I've always felt Withers was unfairly overlooked in comparison to the Marvin/Stevie/Al/Sly cannon. Ridiculous statements that most of his albums are disposable reinforce that notion. I wrote about that a few years back. I saved it at the end of a more recent piece on 70s soul - http://www.fastnbulbous.com/70s_soul.htm
At least his albums keep getting reissued.

Okay since Doctor Casino didn't post again I assume he found the Carnegie Hall album as captivating as the rest of us and is listening to it constantly to the point he can't do anything else.
The documentary is on Netflix Instant BTE.

haha, i got distracted, finally finished listening to it just now. It's great. I need to find a vinyl copy - my tinny computer speakers aren't really doing justice to the warmth and fullness of the sound. Not to mention that the Spotify ads kind of break the mood. But this is a great album.

Still Bill is perfect end to end. "I Don't Want You On My Mind" and "Take It All In..." are some kind mutant folk that haven't been duplicated.

Grabbed a cheapie Greatest Hits today, and mannn, is it weird to hear these later numbers like "Steppin' Right Along" and "Whatever Happens." They're really kind of listless musically and the canned drums are a huge letdown after the 70s gold. I'm sure quiet storm devotees probably take to this material a little more than I do - the thing is there's still the amazing quality of his voice that almost carries it through. But it's definitely a dropoff.

there's that latter-day TV clip in the documentary still bill where he's lip-synching to one of his later minor hits and he just looks dead inside.

it's not a late minor-hit it's him singing "just the two of us" and it's from the time it was released. it's used to underscore his deep cynicism re. the record industry at that time.

Still find it kind've mind-blowing that New Zealand's #1 single of 1988, 6 weeks at the top, etc, was a cover of an album cut from his '85 album Watching You Watching Me.

its ace.picked it up from fopp today for £21.they've even replicated the foldout sleeve that 'still bill' had.of course the love for the 1st two is well known, but damn, '+justments' is fantastic .. looking forward to digging through the pretty thorough booklet, seems to have a lot of detail.well chuffed.

Wow, that's tempting.
Was anyone else surprised that the doc's hung so much weight on "Grandma's Hands?" That's the one apparently iconic Withers track that I didn't know was so highly rated, esp. compared to "Ain't No Sunshine," "Use Me," "Lean On Me," et al.

Well, Blackstreet sampling it should have told ya something's up.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 November 2012 16:21 (3 years ago) Permalink
I was a little surprised by that too, but I was glad they spent so much time on it relative to "Lean On Me" (which is great and all, but no "Grandma's Hands").

I love me some "No Diggity." I guess I just never knew the sample.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 15 November 2012 16:57 (3 years ago) Permalink
i never picked up re the sample.
just hope it helped him out $$ a la david axelrod and 'the edge'.
also, now i see why the live album gets so much love.
its f*cking brilliant.
the only real duffer is the 1985 album, 'watching you .. ' that's full of nasty mid 80s production. just dreadful.
the rest however, hits so many of my sweet spots.
i have bought a few boxsets this year (the byrds, simple minds, neil young, tom moulton, cabaret voltaire, roxy music), but i have to say, this is the one i will be revisiting the most.

16:05-19:57 after the guitar drops out and it's just the bass, rhodes and his voice is just too perfect. So gentle.

Heard "Use Me" at a coffee shop today, the speakers were screwed up or something and there was no trace at all of the clavinet part! I guess it could have been an alternate version or something, but there were other songs that didn't sound quite right. Anyway, it was kind of amazing, since that funky hook is so key to the song - but without it, it was still an indelible song and actually a lovely arrangement. When it first started with just this guitar strumming I thought it was, like, "Tin Man" by America or something. Totally convincing laid-back folk-pop.

I'm guessing they had one channel of a stereo output hooked up, especially since of lot of records of that era were mixed with instruments panned completely to one side or the other.
― raggett neds of your summer dress (The Reverend), Tuesday, 4 February 2014 05:25 (2 years ago) Permalink
Actually, now I'm sure that's the case cause I was able to replicate that by unplugging the left stereo channel.

Yeah, I figured it was basically that but didn't want to say it and be wrong. How's it sound?
