If you haven't heard, yet, mechanical keyboards are making a comeback in a big way. Nearly every peripheral manufacturer out there has line of them. But why are we going back to mechanical keyboards, which were popular in the early days of computing and then fell out of style? Should you consider investing a mechanical keyboard? They are typically more expensive than what we might consider a normal, or common keyboard. In this article, Benchmark Reviews takes a look at one of Cooler Master's CHERRY MX Brown Switch mechanical keyboards, the CM Storm MECH.

A huge drill began digging a planned escape route today as 33 men stuck half a mile (800m) underground in Chile became the longest-trapped miners in recent history.
The men were trapped on August 5 when a landslide blocked the shaft down into the San Jose copper and gold mine in northern Chile's Atacama Desert. Last year, three miners survived 25 days trapped in a flooded mine in southern China, and the Chileans passed that mark today.
While doubts and extreme challenges remain, experts said the rescuers have the tools to get the job done -although the government still says it will take three to four months to reach the miners.
"The drill operators have the best equipment available internationally," said Dave Feickert, director of KiaOra, a mine safety consulting firm in New Zealand which has worked extensively with China's government to improve dangerous mines there.
"This doesn't mean it will be easy," he added. "They are likely to run into some technical problems that may slow them down."
The 31-ton drill made a shallow, preliminary test hole today in the solid rock it must bore through, the first step in the week-long digging of a "pilot hole" to guide the way for the rescue.
Later the drill will be fitted with larger bits to gradually expand the hole and make it big enough for the men to be pulled out one by one.
Before rescuers dug small bore holes down to the miners' emergency shelter, the men survived 17 days without contact with the outside world by rationing a 48-hour supply of food and digging for water in the ground.
Apart from their rescue, a union leader has expressed concern for the men's livelihoods.
San Esteban, the company that operates the mine, has said it has no money to pay their wages and absorb lawsuits, and is not even participating in the rescue. State-run mining company Codelco has taken over.
Union leader Evelyn Olmos called on the government to pay the workers' wages starting in September, plus cover the roughly 100 other people at the mine who are now out of work and 170 more who work elsewhere for San Esteban. Its licence has been suspended by the government.
Mining Minister Laurence Golborne said the government was prohibited by labour laws from assuming responsibility for the salaries. He said it was up to the mining company and would have to be worked out in Chilean courts.
Mr Golborne noted the extraordinary circumstances of the mine collapse but pointed out that there are many other Chileans who lack a job and said the government cannot be responsible for all of them.
Union leaders and others blame the government in part for the San Jose accident because the mine had been cited for safety violations in the past but was allowed to continue operating.
In 2007, executives were charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a miner. The worker's family settled and the mine was closed until it could comply with safety rules, said Senator Baldo Prokurica, who has long called for tougher regulations.
The next year, the mine reopened even though the company apparently had not complied with all the regulations, he said, adding that the circumstances surrounding the reopening are being investigated.
Workers in the current rescue operation are using the three existing bore holes to deliver food, water, air and medicine to the 33 miners, who are trapped about 2,200ft (670m) underground in a shelter large enough to walk around in.
In an eight-minute video released by the government, the second made by the trapped miners, about a dozen of the men sent greetings to their families and said they were feeling better since receiving the sustenance and supplies, including special clothes to keep them dry in the hot, humid mine.
The government said last week that five of the miners were suffering from depression, but Mr Golborne said from the mine site on Sunday that those men were doing better, had received antidepressants and were getting counselling.
Helping raise their spirits, the men spoke for about three minutes each to a family member on Sunday after a telephone line was lowered down one of the three existing 6in (15cm) bore holes.
The men, while showing courage that has inspired people throughout Chile and the world, could not help but break down when speaking about their loved ones on the latest video.
"I'm sending my greetings to Angelica. I love you so much, darling," said 30-year-old Osman Araya, as his voice choked and he began to cry. "Tell my mother, I love you guys so much. I'll never leave you. I will fight to the end to be with you."
The video showed the men mostly upbeat, joking on camera and talking about their absolute certainty that they would get out alive.
Experts say maintaining high morale among the men is essential. They will play a key role in winning their own rescue: the drilling technique that must be used means that up to 4,000 tons of rock and debris will fall down into a large mine shaft near the shelter - but far enough away from the men that they will not be in any danger.
Officials have said it is essential the men be at their best physically and mentally because their own work clearing the rocks will be vital to keeping their eventual escape route from becoming plugged.

Video: Beyonce, Taylor Swift and More Perform at 2014 MTV Video Music Awards
Beyonce Knowles was among big names performing at the MTV Video Music Awards. The recipient of this year's Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award hit the stage at the Forum in Inglewood, California, to perform a medley of songs from her 2013 self-titled album "Beyonce".
Bey looked absolutely stunning in a bejeweled Tom Ford bodysuit. She kicked off her 15-minute set with "Mine" and played 11 other tracks including "Blow", "Drunk in Love", "Partition", "Flawless", "Yonce" and "XO" with a number of shirtless male dancers and scantily clad ladies.
That night's awards show also featured an amazing performance from Taylor Swift. Wearing a crop top and high-waisted shorts with metallic fringe, the 24-year-old singer delivered the first live rendition of her new single "Shake It Off" while several male dancers in dapper suits showed off some choreography.
At one point, Swift stood atop a big "1989" sign and looked like she was about to jump off. She stopped the music and made a reference to a recent accident where one of Nicki Minaj's dancers got bitten by a snake, saying, "I'm not jumping off of there. People getting bitten by snakes, it's ridiculous."
Other performers at the Sunday festivities included Maroon 5 who performed their "Maps" outside, Jessie J who was joined by Ariana Grande and Minaj to kick off the whole thing with "Bang Bang", 5 Seconds of Summer who played their "Amnesia" and Iggy Azalea who reunited with Rita Ora for the live performance of their hit "Black Widow".

John Wardle, 1958, Stepney, London, England. An innovative bass player, Wobble began his career with Public Image Limited. Previously he had been known as one of the four Johns who hung around Malcolm McLarens Sex boutique, and adopted his unusual moniker following a drunken remark by Sid Vicious. Heavily influenced by the experimental rhythms of bands like Can, Wobbles input to PiLs Metal Box collection inspired in turn many novice post-punk bass players. By August 1980, he had become one of the many instrumentalists to fall foul of Lydon in PiLs turbulent career, and set about going solo. He joined forces with his hero Holger Czukay and U2s the Edge for Snake Charmer, and recorded with the Human Condition, a group specializing in free-form jazz and dub improvisation. However, when they disbanded, the mid-80s quickly became wilderness years for Wobble: The biggest kickback I have had was from sweeping the...

I had a breast reduction two weeks ago. I started at a 32F, and my doctor and I agreed that "around" a small C-cup would be better for my petite, athletic frame. I have had an excellent recovery so far; however, my breasts are still big for my size. I can even fit into a DD-cup bra. I'm a bit nervous that I will have gone through a major surgery and still have over-sized breasts. Even though my breast size hasn't decreased much since the day after surgery, could they are still swollen? If not, can this be corrected without undergoing extensive surgery again?
How Long After Breast Reduction Surgery Are Breasts Swollen?
Doctor Answers 26
Post Breast Reduction Healing
If you have severe redness, swelling, drainage or odor, it is important to call the office and speak with the doctor or medical staff. You may need to be seen in the office and evaluated. If the wound becomes separated or you develop a small opening, this again should be evaluated so that appropriate steps can be taken as soon as possible.
Web reference: http://www.horowitzmd.com/plastic-surgery-procedures-newport-beach/breast-reduction/
Post op swelling after breast reduction
Two Weeks is Early, 12 Months Minimum.
Stay In communication with your plastic surgeon. Voice your concerns. Give it time. If you and your plastic surgeon agree that an adjustment is needed, a simple revision is possible.
Many size issues resolve with patience. Patience is often rewarded with better than expected outcomes. But never fear, help is available if needed.

Breast reduction results particularly those of large reductions usually take several months to show themselves. Initially things look "tight high and swollen." On the reduction target, did your surgeon really say he could take you from an F to a small C cup? You might want to talk with him about this again.
Breast reduction-Greece:Final size after surgery,Dr Nodas Kapositas,M.D,PhD
The most important thing before a breast reduction surgery is the consulation with your Plastic Surgeon.During the consultation your Dr said to youthat you will have a C cup.It is very useful during consultation to bring photos of the size you wish to have after surgery to avoid dissapointments.Keep in mind that you will have the final result 9 months later.
Post op Swelling after breast reduction
While it can vary between patients based on background medical conditions and magnitude of the breast reduction itself, in general it's wise to expect at least 6-8 weeks post op before the majority of swelling to subside and probably 2-3 months before the final size & shape to start maturing. Any further post operative weight fluctuation can also influence the final size of the surgical outcome during this particular time frame.
Hope that helps.
Best wishes

Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my faith be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for prayer with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.
Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my

and not have any better guarantee than in docility to
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.

Mobility Financial Aid Supplement
The Mobility Financial Aid Supplement, administered by the Scholarships and Student Aid Office, is primarily for students who:

How to apply
Students can apply by going to Minerva > Financial Aid/Awards tab > Financial Aid Menu > Apply for McGill Financial Aid and submitting a Mobility Award application. There is no need to make an appointment for an interview with a Student Aid Counselor. Your application will be assessed online, so it is very important to clearly and accurately include all relevant information.
When to apply
Be prepared to submit your application within the open/close dates indicated below. Late applications will not be accepted (no exceptions!).

|Comments/questions on release instructions
|Sat, 26 Nov 2005 15:16:05 GMT
Thanks to Andrew for making up the snapshot or release instructions,http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease. I am really impressed that he figured this all out the first time and am glad there is now this reference for other committers who might want to take on the release manager job next time. For 10.1.2.1, I have not yet done step 18 for Maven or step 20 to tag the release (see questions below ) but will do those this week. Here are my notes from following the release process for 10.1.2.1 otherwise. General I think it would be good for the clobber target to clean up the jars and other release target files or provide an alternate target for cleanup. I think the release process is still a little fragile, especially with regard to generating the release pages. Having gone through it once, I think I could muddle through it again except for the final edits of the html file (step 17) which still seem pretty mysterious to me. Step 2 There seems to be some sort of problem with the sanity state. After ant clobber, rm -rf jars, rm -rf snapshot no apparent problematic files, ant -Dsane=false snapshot seemed to sometimes build the jars to the sane jar directory and yield the following error. .... [delete] Deleting directory D:\svn\opensource\10.1\javadoc\sourcedir [mkdir] Created dir: D:\svn\opensource\10.1\snapshot BUILD FAILED D:\svn\opensource\10.1\build.xml:1287: D:\svn\opensource\10.1\jars\insane not found. A reliable workaround was to run ant insane before ant -Dsane=false snapshot. Step 6 I happened to notice that several committers do not have their public PGP/GPG key is in the KEYS file. Might be good to add. Step 8 This step suggests using the docs at /www/db.apache.org/derby/docs/. It was not clear to me whether this would have the latest bug fixes. Does it? Step 9. Again, I had to do "ant insane" before "ant -Dsane=false snapshot" On Windows 2000 using MKS 6.2.a, I could not get the sign target to work as it hung apparently waiting for input but did not like my pass phrase and did not prompt for what it did want. Running with ant -verbose I could see that it did not advance after entering my pass phrase. I had to just sign and generate the md5 files with a script. In general if we get the sign target working I think it would be better for the target to use md5sum instead of md5 as it is more widely available. Step 10 Note: I did not build the ui plugin. Susan built it for me step 16 The plugins are built with the build number in the name. That needs to be removed to match the convention of the other files on the release pages or perhaps the build should change. There is no "current" link for the plugins is that ok? step 17 There seemed to be a lot of gotcha's in this step which was especially problematic because right now it looks like the cgi scripts have to be tested live on the website and there is an hour delay for them to get there. Below are the issues I hit. Some are just forrest newbie issues I am sure. The cgi file won't build until it is linked from the downloads page, so I needed to do that up front. (I had hoped to prepare the page and link in at the last minute.) I had to add the html file to src/documentation/conf/cli.xconf. to get it to build. Near 310 of that file, I had to add: <uri type="append" src="releases/release-10.1.2.1.html"/> Once the html file did build it went to <forrest install directory>/main/site/releases and I needed to copy it to to build/site/release manually. This is a bug in forrest apparently. For the new cgi files, the svn executable property needs to be set (e.g) svn propset svn:executable ON release-10.1.2.1.cgi When I built forrest it build a bunch of unneeded stuff in build/site/papers and build/site/skin. I had to revert those files. In the end I checked in: build/site/releases/release-10.1.2.1.cgi build/site/releases/release-10.1.2.1.html (copied from the install location where it builds) src/documentation/content/xdocs/releases/release-10.1.2.1.cgi src/documentation/content/xdocs/releases/release-10.1.2.1.html There are problems with the html file as forrest changes it. The comments need to be in a certain format which forrest messes up. Andrew edited this for me in a hurry. This file stays checked out with the changes in /www/www.apache.org/dist/db/derby. This process needs to be better understood and documented or much better somehow eliminated. I could not test the cgi scripts on my local machine, but after svn update on people.apache.org I could look at them right away by setting my http proxy setting, see http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html. Still downloads did not work using the proxy, although the cgi page did display. Step 18 I think that to understand this step one would have to look in detail at the ant targets. It would be good to clarify and provide more detail providing an example, a reference to information on the maven repository or an explanation of what is being copied to/from where. Step 20 I think there is a problem with this format or perhaps I misunderstood it. An example would be good. Do doc and code need to be tagged separately? svn copy -r {rev} https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/{trunk_or_branchname}/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/tags/{version}/ I tried the two below and then decided I better stop guessing. svn copy -r 330608 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/10.1/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/tags/10.1.2.1/ svn copy -r 330608 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/branches/10.1/ https://svn.apache.org/reepos/asf/db/derby/tags/10.1.2.1/ Step 21 I think for either major/minor release we need a branch but this seems late in the process. I think it makes sense to make the branch right before the first release candidate, so that the beta flag can be turned off. Then the version can be bumped on the trunk and development can continue. Step 22 For a bug fix release, the version should have already been bumped as soon as the release candidate was posted, so no need to bump the last digit. For major/minor releases, the 1st or 2nd digit should be bumped appropriately after making the branch, based on plans for the next release. This could be included in the step to make the branch I think.

How do you defragment NAS?
This Article Covers
Disk systems
The need to defragment NAS and the process you use to go do it varies depending on the solution purchased. The more advanced NAS solutions bought by medium to large scale enterprises have in-built utilities which, based on predetermined settings and algorithms, will defragment drives when tolerance thresholds are exceeded. Others rely on the operating system's defragmentation capability (if supported) or third party tools to minimise performance impacts on I/O due to fragmentation.
The key storage metrics you need to know
Don't get duped by storage vendors metrics, download this guide to learn how to build your own assessment
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.

The impact of fragmentation will vary according to read and write patterns. If your environment typically sees random write followed by random read, the impact will be less than if there was a requirement for large sequential read and writes. To optimise performance a number of options are available, which are described below.
To defragment NAS volumes using the operating system's inbuilt capability relies on the administrator's interpretation of requirements, or pre-defined scheduling. Third party tools or application utilities can work with automated intelligence monitoring performance thresholds which initiate defragmentation based on diminished I/O performance.
All options can be scheduled to run during "quiet" times to minimise the impact of defragmentation on production activities. Third party tools and some utilities can be set to only run defragmentation processes using untapped resources, ensuring peak performance is maintained to service higher priority I/O requests. This provides the capability to defragment in real time, negating the requirement for fixed scheduling and long running defragmentation processes.
In summary, different NAS appliances offer differing capabilities for defragmentation and the impact the defragmentation process has on your appliance will be driven by how the specific solution tackles the problem.

Industrial Democracy in America by Nelson Lichtenstein
Book DescriptionIndustrial Democracy in America begins its close examination of what came to be known among collars of any colour as 'the labour problem' with the railroad strikes of the 1870s. The contributors cover the theory and practice of the American labour movement, the promise and demise of industrial jurisprudence, the law of collective bargaining, workplace contractualism, and shop-floor reality in the United States auto industry, and compare these with employment systems in Japan. This book contemplates America's industrial decline and will provoke questions, even within management circles, of the long-run viability of a work regime that does not respect or motivate its workers.

Achieving Workers' Rights in the Global Economy, Paperback (May 2016)
In Achieving Workers' Rights in the Global Economy, Richard P. Appelbaum and Nelson Lichtenstein argue that industrial accidents, low wages, poor working conditions, and voicelessness endemic to the vast majority of workers who labor in the export industries of the global South arise from the very nature of world trade and production.

State of the Union, Paperback (September 2013)
Examines how trade unionism has waxed and waned in the nation's political and moral imagination, among both devoted partisans and intransigent foes. This book takes us all the way to the organizing fever of Los Angeles, where the labor movement stands at the center of the effort to transform millions of new immigrants into alert citizen unionists.

Beluga Vodka Maker Synergy Sees Respite as Russia Halts Tax HikeIlya Khrennikov and Olga Tanas
Synergy Group, the Russian producer of Beluga vodka, said a government decision to halt a proposed increase in alcohol excise tax will provide some respite for the industry in the wake of a surge in illegal production.
"Freezing the tax will help to stabilize the market," Synergy spokesman Prokhor Malyutin said by phone. While excise taxes in Russia are close to the same level as the rest of Europe, purchasing power is "substantially lower," he said.
Russia had planned to increase the tax by 20 percent next year to 600 rubles ($17.47) per liter of ethyl alcohol, after doubling the levy since 2012 in an effort to boost government revenue and fight excessive drinking.
The rising tax has led to an increase in illegally produced and imported alcohol, which now accounts for about half of the country's sales compared with about 25 percent in 2012, according to Russia's Alcohol Producers Union.
Synergy was among producers that had lobbied for a reduction in the tax. The distiller's shares fell 7.8 percent to 545 rubles in Moscow today.
"Investors realize that the Russian alcohol market is set to decline this year, and freezing the tax doesn't largely improve the sentiment," said Ksenia Arutyunova, an analyst at Rye, Man & Gor Securities. "Russia banned smoking in restaurants and public places from June, which also signals that the government is serious about fighting bad habits."
Synergy shipments fell 9 percent in the first quarter, while the Russian alcohol market contracted by 17 percent, the Moscow-based company said in April.

New Android E-reader from Shenzhen Switek
Shenzhen Switek is a 5 year old consumer electronics company based in Shenzhen, China. (FYI: Shenzhen is a city in China just across the border from Hong Kong.) This was their first US trade show, and they brought their 2 ereader models with them.
The first is your standard Netronix model. Switek is calling it the EB82, and even though this model is quite common, they chose it so they could get a jump start on developing their own firmware.
They also are developing their own unique ereader, the EB86. This ereader has a 6" E-ink screen, FBReader, and has an SD card slot, headphone jack, and support for multiple languages. The EB86 model on display was a dummy, unfortunate. But I did get to hold it, and I think this could be an interesting ereader.
Shenzhen Switek expects to have the Eb86 ready to ship next month. The early model will come with a Linux firmware. There will be an Android firmware later, but it's still under development.

By Dave Molinari Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
NEW YORK -- The final hurdle to Alexei Ponikarovsky joining the Penguins has been cleared.
This afternoon, Ponikarovsky, who was acquired from Toronto in a trade Tuesday, received the visa he needs to play for a team based in the United States.
He will not join the Penguins for their game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden tonight, but is scheduled to fly from Toronto to Pittsburgh and to participate in the team's practice Friday.
Ponikarovsky, who had 19 goals and 22 assists in 61 games with the Maple Leafs, is expected to be used at left wing on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Ruslan Fedotenko.

O'Neill thanks fans, reveals USC's 2012-13 foes
After each of USC's final few games, basketball coach Kevin O'Neill made a point to thank Trojans fans for showing up and supporting the worst team in school history.
On Wednesday he put it in writing.
O'Neill wrote a letter of thanks to the fans that the school published it on its website. Here's the opening paragraph:
Most will remember the 2011-12 basketball season as one filled with challenges and adversity. There is no hiding from the fact that by the end of the season our injury-plagued team simply did not have the horsepower to win conference games. However, I will remember this year as one where our loyal fans supported us through thick and thin, even when our play did not live up to anyone's expectations. Our fans played hard through the adversity just as our players did. Thank you for your generous support!
Later in the letter, O'Neill revealed some of USC's out-of-conference opponents for the 2012-13 season. They include San Diego State, New Mexico, Long Beach State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Georgia, and Dayton. In addition, USC will participate in the Maui Invitational, which includes North Carolina, Butler, Texas and Marquette.

I know this probably been ask a million times already. But dont really have the time to search for the answer. I have been searching all over the web and been learning but I hoping all your experience out there be able to help me even more. I am trying to find and figure out which co2 valve/gauge assembly set-up, or system to go with. I am going to use a 5# or 10# bottle. US threads. It will be going to a 75G tank. Planning on just using a timer to turn it off at night. Then I am hoping to be less than a $100 for gauges, electrical valve (on and off), needle valve and like to have a one way valve between the bubble counter and electric valve. Keep any fluids from bubble counter from going to valve. Or if it is a whole system I am hoping around $160?

Windows 7 and 8.1 Move to Monthly Update 'Rollup' Model
Replacing the current patchwork of OS updates, Microsoft claims that the monthly 'rollups' will simplify system patching tasks and ease administrative burdens.Changes are coming to how some of Microsoft's vintage, yet still supported Windows operating systems are updated, the company announced yesterday. Beginning in October, instead of individual patches that address security and reliability issues, the software giant is bundling them into cumulative "monthly rollups," Nathan Mercer, a senior product marketing manager at Microsoft, announced in Aug. 15 blog post. The change affects Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 along with Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. The current system of individual patches for older systems is growing unwieldy for some organizations, according to Mercer. PCs with different sets of updates can complicate patch testing procedures and cause dependency errors, among other problems. "By moving to a rollup model, we bring a more consistent and simplified servicing experience to Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1, so that all supported versions of Windows follow a similar update servicing model," wrote Mercer. "The new rollup model gives you fewer updates to manage, greater predictability and higher quality updates."
Microsoft claims the new Monthly Rollup model will eliminate update fragmentation, improving the reliability of the Windows operating system. And by updating their Windows PCs and servers in one fell swoop, IT professionals have less administrative overhead to contend with each month, he argued.

When I headed over to the wonderful Barbara Barnett's The End Of The Thought Process to check out her thoughts on season seven of House, I found that yet again she had put her finger on a key issue about the show. Her article asked about the nature of some of the dissatisfaction being voiced by some fans of the show and I realised I fall into the camp of the dissatisfied. For me, it's been a long and winding road getting to this point, rather than a reaction to this season alone. I have had issues with the writing for some time now and I think the weight of writer room mis-steps for me may have reached critical mass.
I'll begin by saying in my view the show has always had ups and downs, right from season one. I thought Vogler was a cartoon and largely wasted villain, I never bought into the Cameron/House thwarted love story plot and I thought the wind up of the Tritter arc was poorly done. So I do not look upon the first three seasons as a Golden Age of House. Indeed, I count several episodes of season four among my favourites, including of course the glorious two part finale, House's Head and Wilson's Heart.
The writers have also always had annoying problems with continuity. Showrunner David Shore has said his staff have no need of a show bible, but I would argue that not only would a show bible help keep facts like characters' ages straight, but a timeline up on the wall would help the show's scribes make back-story fit canon. Trying to make sense of when exactly House and Cuddy were at the same medical school taking the same class is a losing proposition and that kind of issue seems really unnecessary to me.
But these problems were quibbles rather than deal breakers, because what I thought the writers nailed were the emotional truths about the complex problems they explored. I love the character of House, defiantly breaking the rules to tell his perception of the truth, despite having a degree of self-loathing that may skew his vision more than he admits. I love his complex relationships with the people he allows to get close, as he both pokes at them like lab rats in his desire to uncover facts and very subtly also tries to get them to acknowledge unpleasant truths so they can move forward. The writing of the show was layered enough to allow for multiple viewpoints on who needed to learn what and why and that certainly fuelled a lively fan debate about House.
However, at a certain point, the writers began to play with the different 'ships on House for the sake of playing with the fans rather than serving the story. And around the same time, they also began to offer plot and relationship twists that offered shock value but little fallout in the story. For a show that depends upon delivering emotional truth to offset often ridiculous story set ups, this is the kiss, if not of death, of at least many dissatisfied viewers.
My first taste of a plot twist that rankled because it felt false was during the Tritter arc. The story line raised the possibility through Detective Tritter that House was not a pain patient, as he claimed, but an addict who would be a better doctor without the vicodin. I had always liked the exploration of a man in constant pain with no good choice on how to manage his chronic pain. The vicodin appeared to me to offer House some but not enough pain control while allowing his intellect to operate unimpaired. I accepted he also used the drug sometimes to dull emotional pain, but I felt it was an honest portrayal of chronic pain where the emotional and the physical aspects of pain are hard to untangle. With this lens in mind, I found the way the Tritter arc wrapped up to be problematic.
The biggest issue for me was the impact on House's relationships with Cuddy and Wilson. Cuddy seemed to have a foot on both sides of the line about the issue of addiction. She never disputed Tritter's assertion House would be a better doctor off vicodin, but she protected House nonetheless so he could continue to practice medicine. In my view, there is a dissonance between these actions that needs to be explored once it is set up. As dean, Cuddy has to care if House is impaired and high from his vicodin intake. I wanted more than we got on how the dean of medicine wrestled with the vicodin question. Wilson had to struggle with the same issue as he refused to write more vicodin prescriptions for House, but even more importantly, he drew a huge line in the sand when he walked out on House passed out on the floor and vomiting from mixing copious amounts of oxycontin with even more copious amounts of alcohol.
The writers intended that scene to ratchet up the dramatic tension and they were successful. It was not clear if House intended to commit suicide or if he was just in such bad emotional shape he didn't care if he lived or died, but either way, it was a shock to watch Wilson walk away as a doctor, never mind a friend. And leaving aside the intriguing and much debated question on whether he was right to do so, there is the dramatic requirement of the smoking gun. If you show it, it had better go off at some point. Wilson's line in the sand was so high stakes, there should have been some fall out between House and Wilson. At the very least, Wilson writing prescriptions for House again should have been a very big deal.
But alas, we found out Wilson had resumed his former role through a casual comment later on in the season. Wilson as enabler is something the show touches upon when it suits the plot, but does not explore in any depth. And that's as frustrating as the on again/off again addiction issue for House. Wilson's issues were raised again—beautifully—in Wilson's Heart, but the fall out in season five was again unsatisfying, because House's willingness to do the DBT procedure at Wilson's request was never addressed. Despite Wilson's questioning of House's friendship, what he did in the name of friendship was not part of the narrative. These kinds of huge plot points cannot just be used for shock value. They have to impact the relationships. David Shore is fond of saying people don't change, but of course people change.
We all have core aspects of our personality—strengths and weaknesses—that tend to be stable. However, we are also able to hone our strengths and grow our weak areas, often through painful life experiences that help us grow. Our brains are able to change and put down new neural pathways during our whole lives. Emotional intelligence, unlike IQ, is not stable. And relationships certainly change, for good or ill, as we learn more about those we love—except on House, where too often complex and very dramatic issues get a reset button instead of exploration. It should matter that Wilson walked out on House when he was in danger of ODing. It should matter that House did the DBT for Wilson. It should matter that Cuddy in her capacity as dean thinks House's use of vicodin means he is an addict and high.
I found the entire exploration of House and Cuddy's relationship unsatisfying from season five on. I loved Joy, but then did not recognise the House who grabbed Cuddy's boob or who went home with a hooker instead of obsessively waiting to see how Cuddy reacted to his gift of a desk. I didn't recognise the Cuddy who laced her hospital with trip wires and laxatives. And most of all, I didn't recognise a relationship between House and Cuddy with no sparkle, no clever snark and no underlying feeling of two people who understand the other's outlying areas. Their shared sense of humour always seemed a key point to their relationship to me.
I thought there was enough fodder for dramatic tension between the two characters based on House's obsession about his work and how much either he or Cuddy really wants to give up some control over his or her life. Rachel was a huge issue between the two—does House want to be a father? What are the implications of his relationship with his own father? And would Cuddy actually allow House a voice in raising Rachel? She likes to be in control and obviously has relationship issues of her own.
But instead of relationship difficulties of these kinds, we got awkward boob grabs and Cuddy getting upset about House needing a vicodin to handle the thought of her death. She was upset about the vicodin because it meant House was high and therefore unreliable, something not to be tolerated in her partner but again apparently fine in a doctor practicing in her hospital. As in the Tritter arc, this kind of dissonant dichotomy should be inherently unstable. There needs to be fall out. Instead, the addict question is tucked away until the next time a dramatic plot point is needed. I am tired of trying to make sense of the emotional threads on this show, because I think I spend a lot more time on this task than the writers do. And that, in a nutshell, is the crux of my dissatisfaction.
To me, the writing, while still often sharp, has too often gone for dramatic situations that were (and are) either poorly set up, poorly wrapped up or both. The new team was brought in without any plan for what to do with the old team. Cameron and Chase stumbled around the edges of the show for two years with nothing to do but remind their fans how much they missed them. Cameron's exit was predicated on her judging House for shaping Chase into someone who would kill a patient because he morally judged him, when House has never advocated or acted on that kind of principle. Thirteen was given a huge dramatic arc concerning her Huntington's before the audience had bonded enough with her to care. I need more care for the emotional through lines than I've been getting on this show for some time. Without that care, there is nothing to help me swallow the more ludicrous plot points, like House driving his team around in a monster truck. I watched that episode with my sister, who is a more casual House fan, and that scene prompted her to look askance and say, "I'm not down with this." I could only agree.
And yet, I still tune in to House, if not live, then sometime in the week. I still care about House and love Hugh Laurie's portrayal. But I wish the show had come with a set end point, probably at about five years, so the writers had more impetus to have the relationships make sense and to be less afraid to commit to exploring something that could impact the way House goes through life.Powered by Sidelines
