We speak with one of the Lead Gameplay Programmers for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us about the next generation of AI, and how it could change the way you think about shooters.
Other than graphics I think AI is a very important aspect. Great job making it so good Naughty Dog.
It is one of the primary aspect's for games IMO. Poor A.I. can be devastating to a game. If you have great eye candy, indepth original gameplay, and then A.I> is shoddy, well all is spoiled...
From what I have seen the NPC's in TLOU really react well to your behavior, they respond to your actions seamlessly in fact as good as I can recall seeing in any game thus far...
Whew, I wish this game was out now...
This game keeps sounding better and better. Can't wait.
i really hope this game will be amazing. lets hope it doesn't turn out to be disappointing with all this hype
AI has been criminally overlooked in comparison to other departments like visuals or physics etc this generation.
I'm extremely excited about what ND will achieve with TLOU. It really looks like they are going to set a new standard here. Here's hoping.
^ I half agree, because in reality I don't think physics have come all that far either. Most developers are STILL using the floaty, unrealistic ragdoll physics of the Havok engine, an engine that was first implemented about eight or nine years ago. I mean yeah, you got engines like Euphoria and PhysX which seem to be making incremental strides, but then...no one friggin uses them. They either use Havok or some proprietary engine that seems to mimic Havok.
It's really been ALL about the graphical fidelity this generation.
AI is definitely important. In fact, it's as important as graphics and physics and gameplay, and is a keystone in what makes great games...great.
"you'll weep when you kill it"
Killing someone like that who was just so helpless, felt awesome and sad at the same time. haha
Sorta reminds me of all the death scenes in God of War 3. What made those deaths powerful IMO was the voice acting however.
I think the game will be fantastic but I seriously doubt I will be amazed by the AI.
Just the gameplay previews showed me enough to know that the AI is better than 98% of console games I've played this gen!
Some of the best AI I ever came across are in KZ2 and Fear 1 and 2.
There were very few enemies in those videos. They need to show us video of many enemies in a small place, like 10 or more.
Lets not forget Halo :)
People seem to forget how good the AI is in Halo. Halo 4 is just going to make it even better.
The AI alone on normal is harder than any other halo game. Could imagine what it will be like on lgendary. -_-
But on topic. I haven't really been paying attention to TLoU for spoiler reasons. Big uncharted fan and cant wait to play ND's next great masterpiece! :D
ND should seriously consider making game engines for 3rd parties nextgen.
They're owned by Sony.
then sony could make an engine and license it out to 3rd party companies and shake UE3's marketshare.
Why should they when Microsoft do all they can to make sure 360 has exclusive content, If u want to play a Naughty Dog game, BUY A PS3 I say
I'm not sure how they do this stuff...but I love them for it.
Man, this new AI frightens me abit....Sounds radically different compared to other AI's I've faced.
Well that is a good thing. It means that this game will feel fresh and exciting. It will be a completely new experience while playing it.
Something you don't find easily anymore.
That's what Im hoping to get when I play TLOU :) ND hasnt let me down yet!
Absolutely wrong about the Combat system for Uncharted, you always have to stay on the move. I remember the train scene from Uncharted, I ended up wall crawling on the side of the train waiting to catch enemies when they are not looking, I would then grab them and pull them out the train, unless there was 2 of them, then I have to find another way. I continued that kind of trend attacking them from many different angles.
That must have been one of the most exciting play throughs in Uncharted and videogame history, I wish I got that on tape.
As for the last of Us, I wanted a game that makes a hand gun as powerful as it seems in TLOU. Not everybody walks around with a AK47, and those rifles make handguns seem like BB guns, this game has a nice realism to it.
I hope they make it multi player it'd be fun to play with my gf as Ellie, she loved Uncharted. Multiplayer online would be great too.
Holy crap, I live in pittsburgh. This is based in pittsburgh. This is gonna make me buy a ps3. ^.^
Pittsburgh is one of the environments. It is a journey across a portion of the U.S.
There is too much happening this year otherwise I would pick up this game. I will differently get it sometime next year though.
It's not coming out this year sometime in 2013.
It doesn't come out until next year.
Bumpmapping beat me.
even if it was this year, how can you pass this up !!!? 0_0
I saw when the guy held you in place so his friends could shoot at you through the window or when the guy ran off and hid somewhere when he saw you with a gun and mounted a surprise Molotov attack on you when you came looking for him. This AI is awesome.
It was pretty cool but it felt scripted much like any other environmental hazard in a ND game. Lets not over hype the A.I. That being said the game is awesome.
Not this 'it felt scripted' crap again. I thought that had been put to rest after the second gameplay demo was released.
Define scripted?
Obviously everything has to be scripted/developed or it wouldn't exist. Same goes for real life, people are scripted in how they operate. Your brain is pretty much just a complex computer.
ND have shown the same scene in two different ways so it is obviously not linear scripting if that's what you mean. IE same thing occurs everytime.
It "FELT" scripted because it felt so real.
Nobody's over hyping anything dude, but I do see a lot of people trying to downplay it. lmao
Even Hideo Kojima himself confirmed it wasn't scripted and was even confused by Naughty Dog's tech. http://www.gamepodunk.com/_...
Try and keep updated buddy! :)
The graphics, story and acting all looks brilliant, but the AI is the reason I'm really excited about this game as I feel its been the most neglected area of game design with barely any progress made this gen.
LoU looks head and shoulders above every other game either out already or still in developement.
It will never happen but I would love Sony to buy the rights for Tenchu and have ND apply that magic to that franchise.
I can dream cant I?
Are you guys kidding? No one ever lets anything rest. People are going to say that the gameplay is scripted from now til the game comes out and even if there is 100% proof that it isn't scripted people will STILL say it even years later and try to prove anyone who says it isn't wrong. To this day people STILL try to prove that UC2 was not a good game even after all the awards, scores and claims. In fact if PASBR ends up being a great game prepare yourself for about ten years of calling it a clone and a rip off and trying to prove how wrong everyone was about it being a good game especially if we get a sequel.
This is something i've been waiting for for years now.AI has sorely needed a leaping step forward.
Not to say AI was better when i was younger, but they seemed to have more personality, more humanity so to speak.
Games nowadays..
It's almost scary how immune i've become to artificial life.GTA for example, the pedestrians mean nothing to me.They are simply obstacles in my way.All FPS shooters are even worse.I'm just murdering hundreds of AI's with no emotions.No second thoughts, nothing.
AI needs more emotions.TLOU is giving them just that.Making them more human.Not just angrily rushing at you and trying to kill you.
The way the guy in that video ran for his life when his friend was killed.Hiding behind the luggage, terrified.That was special.That is whats going to make me think about my choices should i choose to chase him.
Good on ND pushing the boundaries once again.
Looking forward to this game. By the way in Naughty dog is first party developer.
pre-ordered this game through newegg last week for for $47!!
along with God of War:A, Beyond 2 Souls, Bioshock Infinite, Xcom, Playstation Allstars, and Assassin's Creed 3 all for $47 a pop! gotta love newegg
Nice. Very subtle advertising there lol. Cryptic. /s
Joking. Might check it out. Though it did sound like MASSIVE advertising lol ;)
I think I'll wait until I play the game before I jump on this hype train.
Can't wait to play it ! ND's games have always amazed me.
cant wait 4 this game!
crash, jak, uncharted, and now the last of us!
naughty dog rules!!!!!!!

Topic: surgery
My father met with Dr. Canady,. He repeated his cat scan. Was told is still candadate for surgery. I am so nervous, hopeful, scared. Dad was one of 23 patients awaiting Dr. Canady's surgery. When Dr. Canady gets established at another facility, dad will be his first patient. I am greatful, scared, and this tells me that my father is probably the worst of all the patients awaiting surgery. Please pray for me and my family. Will keep all posted.

Yes, I recommend this product.
By Akiko Morison| August 06th, 2016
I love this product so much! It makes my skin so soft!! The scent is just enough. If someone is close enough it will draw them in just little more. It makes me feel sexy and confident. My boyfriend loves the way it feels on his skin and it makes my bathroom smell amazing.
Yes, I recommend this product.
By Jennifer Zwiebel| July 22nd, 2016
My kids and I have been blessed with eczema and rough spots on our arms and feet certain times of the year. This product is the ultimate solution. Even my son (10-year-old) uses it and loves it! We each scoop some out during our showers (I wish my son would scoop out a little less when he showers. lol) and then we wash off with the shower body oil to lock in the moisture. My body feels so smooth like never before. It's a luxury item but my kids always ask me to buy more since we're completely dependent on it. Highly recommended.
Yes, I recommend this product.
By kristina babic| January 05th, 2016
I was so excited and couldn't wait to try this product out. I heard many good things about Sabon body scrubs and this one is amazing. The scent is great and not too overpowering. It used the wooden scoop and scrubbed the product all over my body. I turned the shower off so it wouldn't wash the scrub away, then rinsed. It left my skin smelling great and super smooth. I would totally recommend and re-purchase this again.
By Deneeb| March 23rd, 2013
The smell is incredible and the skin is so soft after! I have been using it for two years!
By Kristin| January 04th, 2013
This smell is amazing, even though it is vanilla coconut it is not childish. I use the product personally about 1 or 2 times a week and I swear it lasts 3 - 4 months!
I love layering it with the vanilla body lotion, it gives it a extra silkiness. Even without the lotion i feel so soft.
One negative is that it clogs of the razor that you use to shave your legs and armpits with. The softness is imcomparable so it is worth it to me.
By Katie| December 27th, 2012
I love the vanilla coconut flavor. This scrub is really wonderful, but I found it difficult to use in the shower. The whole stirring with a wooden spoon requirement really turned me off. It took me several years to use it up, as I didn't use it as much as I would have liked to. I'm hoping the Body Gel Polisher will be just as good.
By Ana| May 04th, 2012
I love the way Vanilla smells in the scrub. It is also amazing for my skin. I do not even use shaving cream for my legs anymore. I just scrub right before and use the oil to shave with. It feels like heaven on my skin.
By Diana| May 01st, 2012
I have been using it for years. I have tried many scrubs prior to trying this one, once you use this, there is no going back, so beware! :)
By Elise| January 04th, 2012
Tried this scrub at Sabon in NYC. I was blown away by the amazing customer service and was treated to the complimentary hand-wash. I couldn't believe how amazing my hands felt after using this scrub and following up with the butter cream! They were SO smooth and soft. I am completely addicted now to Sabon. The scrub has helped with my eczema, along with the butter cream and the body oil. These products make my skin feel amazing and moisturized! I've told everyone I know about Sabon as I think it's amazing and everyone I take into a store walks out with tons of products. This stuff will change your life! :)
By Melody| November 12th, 2011
I bought this scrub at the Sabon store in NYC. I walked in the store with a LUSH bag (my former favorite bath store) but boy, did that visit convert me! I was treated to a complimentary hand-wash and chose the Vanilla Coconut body scrub with the corresponding butter cream. My hands have never felt so soft and pampered - I bought both of the products on the spot! I absolutely couldn't wait to use them in the shower. I'm proud to say that after a few showers using the salt scrub and butter cream, I am completely addicted to Sabon, and can't wait to try more of their luxurious, high quality products.
Please wait...
Please wait...

Kook season year round anymore. Granted I was a kook at the start, and didn't really get into it until about 17, so I appreciate the learning curve more than some.
What kills me is the newbies with ALL the killer gear. I scrounged to buy boards and wetsuits, even doubled up rubber so I could surf into the winter before I could score my first 6/4. Just jealous maybe...
I prove how cool I am by making fun of people anonymously on the internet. A true kook should be absolutely no threat to your wave count or session. Unless of course you are more of a kook than you realize.
..."SALT LIFE" boardshorts...I actually saw those....they exist...Quote:
the holy grail photo would be hollister shorts and rashie, puka shell necklace and zinka carrying and nsp or bic without wax.
Damn, didn't know Team Hollister was here to represent...
And fungus, if you have any idea about it--ie if you live here--you would know that these are the same kooks who belong in lakes and pools yet paddle out during hurricane swells, congesting the impact zone and generally getting in the way. It's dangerous and much, much more than "just noise."
I think I'd surf that Surf City Pier mostly if I lived down around there. Always looks better and cleaner (than W-ville) with less people out.
I used to all the time but can never seem to motivate myself or have something too pressing to make the trek these days. (40 minute drive from my house as opposed to 15 for WB and CB) Topsail definitely has the best swell window in Onslow Bay for the predominant Southerly fetch and WSW winds we get in the summer.

Incoming first-year applicants:
On the JD application form select Full-time Program and then the corresponding degree objective on your application. Please review the chart above to see if you will need to submit any additonal forms or meet any additional requirements for the corresponding graduate school. If your application meets the requirements to be reviewed by the graduate school, you will receive separate decision letters from the law school and the graduate program. The decisions are independent and you could be admitted to one program and not the other. If you are admitted to both the JD program and graduate program, you would enroll your first year at the Washington College of Law. Your second and third years would be a combination of law and graduate coursework. You would complete your law school coursework by three years and the remaining 1 to 2 semesters would be graduate coursework. A dual program takes 3.5 to 4 years to complete as a full-time student. The exception is the JDMBA which would be first year of JD and then a full year of MBA (typically year 2 or 3) and then combination of law and MBA courses for year four.
Current JD law students:
You may apply to a dual degree program during their first year of law school by emailing WCL's Associate Director of Admissions Brooke Sandoval (email@example.com) and requesting that an electronic copy of your JD admissions file be forwarded to the corresponding graduate program. Please review the chart above to see if you will need to submit any addtional forms or meet additional requirements by the graduate school.

Brevard, N.C. – Former Brevard College women's soccer standout Kelly Sisley was named to the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) Team of the Week on July 1.
Sisley, who graduated from Brevard College in 2000, was the lone goalkeeper on the WPSL Team of the Week for June 25 – 29 and was one of two representatives for her team the Florida Surge.
Sisley has played an astounding 205 minutes without allowing a goal. In the win over the Falcons, she played the first half and came up with two big saves that snuffed out scoring opportunities. In the Surge's previous two matches against Puerto Rico and F.C. Thomasville, Sisley played flawless in holding a strong Capitals team scoreless and saved numerous Dragon shots to record two shutouts on the road.
The WPSL is now a 51-team national women's soccer league with five conferences and is considered one of the top women's soccer leagues in the world. The WPSL's mission is to provide the highest level of women's soccer while simultaneously providing affordable, quality family entertainment and positive role models for youth.

This dataset contains fiscal year data from 2008 - 2015 and is currently available in the following formats:
This dataset contains fiscal year data beginning 2016 and is currently available in the following formats:
This dataset includes data from the extra 53rd workload reporting week in Fiscal Year 2016. See explanation below in the Notes section.
The goal of the Social Security Administration (SSA) is to improve core services provided to the public and provide alternative methods for conducting business with the agency. In support of this goal, SSA provides a wide range of Internet services to allow the public to conduct business via this widely used medium. For example, SSA offers members of the public who receive benefits the opportunity to change an address via the Internet. Over the past years, our change of address workload has grown and so has the use of the online application. Our goal is to make it easier and faster for individuals to change their address via the Internet from the comfort and convenience of their homes or offices.
Agency Program Description
The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers a number of online applications that provide beneficiaries an alternative to visiting the office. You can change your address and/or telephone number online if you receive Social Security disability, retirement, or survivors benefits. In order to use the online change of address application, a beneficiary must live at and be moving to an address in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or American Samoa. The system allows only the beneficiary to provide address changes to their own account. The changes are sent to a database and updated to the Master Beneficiary Record (MBR). If you receive Supplemental Security Income, you cannot change your address online. If you are a Representative Payee, you cannot use this online service. If you have a foreign, APO, or FPO address, SSA's Office of International Operations is assisted by the Department of State's embassies and consulates throughout the world to assist Social Security customers who are outside the U.S. or planning to leave the U.S.
Dataset Description
These datasets provide monthly volumes at the national level from federal fiscal year 2008 onwards for Internet Change of Address.
Fiscal Year
Field A
Month (by District Office Workload Report Month)
Field B
Receipt Count (Internet Social Security Change of Address Applications)
These datasets include only Internet Change of Address transactions. It should be noted that, in addition to using our online Change of Address application, the public might change an address by calling our 800 number, visiting a field office, or mailing us the request. This dataset pertains only to the online alternative.
Data Collection Description
We capture the internet transactions when public users access the application. We store the transactions in our data stores and data warehouses.
Data Dictionary (for all datasets)
Field A: Fiscal Year, a federal fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30.
Field B: Month (by District Office Workload Reporting Month), the reporting month indicates the month the data was produced. Reporting months are administratively set reporting periods and do not necessarily correspond exactly to calendar months.
Field C: Internet Social Security Change of Address Applications, indicates the number of change of address applications submitted via the Internet.
Field D: Comments, includes information about a particular month's data collection and/or reporting.

Julianna, Claire, Sofia & Michelle Cover Vanity Fair's 2012 'TV Issue'
Put together as an ode to the small screen, Sofia Vergara, Julianna Magulies, Michelle Dockery and Claire Danes teamed up for the cover of the May 2012 issue of Vanity Fair.
The quartet of actresses all looked elegant for the Norman Jean Roy shot front page, with the magazine's 'TV Issue' also featuring cast members from "The Big Bang Theory," "Revenge," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men," "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men, "Shameless," and more.
Below are quotes from Julianna, Claire, Michelle and Sofia about their hit television shows (past and present). For more, be sure to pay a visit to Vanity Fair!
Julianna Margulies on the last time she watched 'E.R':
"A full on episode was probably the last episode I did where I go to George Clooney and we ride off in the sunset. And that was probably ten years ago [laughs]."
Claire Danes on the last time she watched 'My So Called Life':
"I haven't seen 'My So Called Life' in a long time. I don't really have any excuse either because apparently it's still on the air. It has this incredibly long afterlife, which I'm very touched by."
Michelle Dockery on when she first knew 'Downton Abbey' was going to be a hit:
"I think the first time I realized 'Downton Abbey' was a hit was when I was sitting in a tea shop in New York, in Greenwich Village, and the couple next to me were talking about 'Downton Abbey' and then they recognized me."
Sofia Vergara on when she first knew 'Modern Family' was going to be a hit:
"After the first episode aired and, I mean, I was getting recognized all over the street after the first week. So we all knew that it was, like, a good one."

Some guy a long time ago talked about the benefits of turning the other cheek and forgiving past offenses.... I think he was talking about the cheeks on the face by the way. Anyway, he was making the point that people all make mistakes but should be forgiven. Do you naysayers think that nothing good has come out of organized religion? Do you think all followers of a religion should be persecuted for other's offenses?I assure you many more people have been helped than hurt by giving themselves to a higher power. Is it specifically Catholics that turn you off? Just curious. Average Joe Catholic never cheered when when a child was molested, he didn't cover it up either. He was just as saddened and disgusted as you were.
I don't think it's fair to compare this guy to a child molester because he wants to teach people about the sport he loves and his beliefs. Stereotypes are pretty ugly things, sometimes they're right but you should allow the person to prove that they fall under the stereotype first. (Please don't respond to that comment with the assertion that we should put the OP in a closet with a kid and see what happens... I think you get the point I'm making.)
What if the OP was impacting the coast for kids (seriously OP, rethink your slogan)? Just giving them the means to have a hobby that isn't xbox, meth or stealing cars. Would you have a problem with that? That seems like that's basically what he's doing, he wants to say "hey kid, have a surfboard and let me tell you about this interest of mine that has helped me in my life and may help you."
The kids that may receive a free board will probably look at it like a timeshare meeting... go for the free vacation but probably won't buy the 3 weeks a year. OP just wants to share an idea, sounds like a pretty good deal... My 16 month old son is really interested in a 9'6" noserider, let me know if you get any OP!
The OP isn't a great salesman but at least he's trying. What have you done today other than hate on someone whose beliefs are different than yours?

A small wild canine moves as silently as a shadow among Hoosier woodlands on a summer night. Sensitive ears and nostrils probe damp air currents for sounds and scents of prey. A pair of eyes equipped for nocturnal vision search for movement ahead on the forest floor. A deer mouse foraging in a carpet of leaves, feels the weight of a fur-lined paw and for an instant the crushing teeth as a gray fox tosses the ill-fated rodent over a shoulder.
Gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were more numerous than red foxes when Indiana was first settled. As the land became cleared of timber, gray fox habitat was reduced. They do not inhabit open, cleared, cultivated farmland but prefer forests and brushy woodlands for their homes. The gray fox occurs in all counties of Indiana where suitable habitat exists. They are more common in the predominantly forested south central hills region of the state.
Gray foxes mate in January, and three to five pups are born during March through April. The gray fox uses a ground den less frequently than does the red fox, and may often use a hollow tree or log, or a burrow hidden in rock outcroppings. Gray foxes stay mated for a least one season and may remain together for life. Although the litters are small, they are well cared for, and survival of the young is high. The male brings food to the female when she is nursing, and when the pups begin to eat solid food, he assists her in catching and bringing food to them. The family group breaks up in early fall when the young have learned to hunt.
Gray foxes probably prefer to dine on meat, but when rabbits, mice, poultry, and birds are not easily obtainable, a wide variety of vegetable matter is consumed. Persimmons, nuts, grasses, and large quantities of field corn supplement flesh. Gray foxes taken in southern counties during winter months have been examined to determine food habits. The percent containing various foods were as follows: vegetable matter, 82 percent; rabbit, 65 percent; mice, 55 percent; songbirds, 40 percent; poultry, 19 percent; and quail, two percent. In other sections or other seasons, these proportions might change considerably.
What a gray fox eats does not always indicate what it kills, as certain carrion is often relished. Thus horse, pig or calf flesh in the stomach indicates that it has served as a scavenger. Chickens were staple food when each farmer kept a family flock, but today's poultry production methods discourage raids and limit small, free-running flocks.
Fox-chasing advocates and fox hunters seldom venture forth in search of gray foxes. The gray fox tends to seek refuge immediately after it learns of an impending pursuit. The excitement of the chase for foxhounds and their owners is usually denied. Most gray foxes taken by hunters are the result of using a predator call. Gray foxes are readily lured within gun range by this method.
Like red foxes, the gray fox readily falls for a properly constructed dirt hole set. The various methods employed by a skilled red fox trapper work equally as well for gray foxes in those areas where this canine occurs.
Gray foxes are recognized to be an important predator species in our wildlife community. The gray fox pelt is not as desirable as the red fox because it is more course; however, the pelt in recent years has become useful as trim for coat collars and for similar uses in the fur industry.
Specialized habitat management is not needed for gray foxes other than the maintenance of adequate forestlands. They are protected from hunting and trapping during the breeding season and while rearing their young.
Natural reduction of gray fox population is encountered more often where adequate harvests by hunting or trapping have not been reached. Gray foxes are subjected to canine diseases and parasite infections such as distemper, parvovirus, heartworm and in rare instances, rabies. Fortunately, rabies is seldom encountered among Indiana foxes. Internal parasites, such as tapeworms, roundworms and lungworms, may also lower their resistance to other diseases.

Circumcision may not be followed in some countries but in our place, it is already a part of our culture. I have a 9-year old boy who is still confused whether he will undergo such procedure. He wants to be circumcised but he is scarred of the pain it will bring. I don't want to force him since I made it a point that I will have my son decide for this. What is the best approach for this? He is getting older and most of the boys his age are already circumcised. I don't want to get to the point that other kids will make jokes about him.

Being that you chose to allow your son to make this decision, and you did not have him circumcised at birth, I would allow him to make the decision when he is ready to, which could very possibly be when he is much older.
He may like being "in tact", and as long as he cleans himself well, he may actually be very healthy without being circumcised.
Circumcision is very painful (as witnessed by babies who are circumcised at birth, and by older men who have had it done later in life). At 9 years of age, I would not be encouraging him to be circumcised because he is simply too young to make this kind of a decision like this on his own right now (it will affect him for the rest of his life, and not every circumcision turns out well - it is a surgical procedure and surgical procedures can be "botched").
When you know he's going to be in a situation where he will be undressing in front of other boys, you may want to prepare your son for this by just letting him know that his penis will look different from most of the other boys, and if the other boys say something about it that he can share that his mother did not circumcise him when he was a baby (in a sense he could put the blame on your if he feels more confident doing this).
I'm hoping there are other mums on here who can give suggestions on how a boy can handle comments from other boys about this.
But I wouldn't be encouraging your son to be circumcised at this time. It is scary for him, and right now, he doesn't have a personal conviction that this is what he wants to do. If he brings it up later in years, then you could talk with him about it, but for now, at 9 years of age, I don't know when he would be seen by other boys who may make comments, unless it's at the dressing room at a public pool, and even then, hopefully he would have an older male with him (i.e. his father) who could respond for him, and in that situation he would then learn a good proper response from his father.
Alternatively you could just avoid situations that may pose a problem (i.e. dressing in a public pool/dressing area). With the insecurity you're already seeing in him since the arrival of his baby sister, discussing this with him right now might just make that insecurity even bigger.
Hope this helps, and feel free to post back with any other comments. I also hope that other mums will share their thoughts as well.
Warm regards,

Dear charibelle_925,
I think it is great that you have allowed your son to make this decision about his body himself - I think this is the way forward for the future. However, I agree with Kate that he is still very young to make such a decision so it may be beneficial to encourage him to wait to decide until he is more mature.
I think what it important here is that your whole family understands, and respects, the reasons for allowing your son to make this decision himself. Then if he is in a changing area with an older family member they will be able to talk to him about the differences between their bodies as well as providing your son with any support if he does get questioned about it. Also, if your son fully appreciates how special it is that you are giving him the decision to make (when he is older) then he may be able to explain this to his friends.
I hope all goes well,

I agree with both Kate and LJ. We actually made the decision to have our boys circumcised but I totally respect and admire your decision to allow your son the opportunity to decide for himself whether or not he would like to have this done. My husband and I did consider not having it done but in the end we chose to go forward with it since my husband is circumcised.
I do think 9 years old is too young to decide for himself and if he did decide to go forward with th procedure it might be for the wrong reasons such as peer pressure and he may regret it later. As the others have mentioned, letting him know how special it is to have the opportunity to decide for himself when he is older could be very helpful.

Tenuta Sette Ponti, is, like many Tuscan estates, multi-faceted. The 750-acre property supports livestock and mixed agriculture, and although viticulture is not new to the estate, winemaking is; the yield of the property's vineyards was until 1997 sold to various respected Tuscan wine producers, among them Piero Antinori. Dr. Moretti's enjoyment of wine led him to ask Antinori if the estate vineyards could produce great wines, and Antinori thought they could. The estate has since been transformed through the consultation of respected oenologist Carlo Ferrini and his assistant, Gioia Cresti; Gilbert Bouvet, one of France's most skilled viticulturalists; and agronomist Benedetto d'Anna. View all Tenuta Sette Ponti Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Are you certain that you have not applied some rule either on your XP box or on the router that prevents the machine from answering on ping queries?
Simply put:
My LAN is composed of:
One wireless router
One desktop - hardwire connection to router
One laptop XP SP2 - wireless connection
One laptop BT3 - wireless connection
laptop XP SP2 is able to ping every device on LAN
laptop BT3 is able to ping everyone EXECEPT my laptop XP SP2
I run Auto Scan from BT3 and it sees everyone. So I assume this is a Konsole bug since some times (rarely) I'm able to ping the laptop XP SP2
Anyone got the same problem???
Please help! I'm doing BOF and without the console it's kind of difficult.
Are you certain that you have not applied some rule either on your XP box or on the router that prevents the machine from answering on ping queries?
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Well I cant be sure... but it has answered before to ping requests and I was able to send it bufferes...
But sometimes it just doesn't seem to comunicate via konsole.
Tell me something, does your ideia have anything to do with ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol?
Do I have to check options like:
allow incoming echo request
allow incoming timestamp request
allow incoming mask request
allow incoming router request
If so I most admite they are all unchecked, but I haven't touched a thing... allthough i'll give it a try)
Damm Windows
Yup, this is something that you need to have checked to enable ping responses I believe that Windows Firewall by default leaves this one unchecked.allow incoming echo request

Post subject: Never too early (2007 Mock Draft)
First of all, just let me say that I am not an analyst, and I won't pretend to be one. I think I factored in most of the teams first day picks in the 2006 draft to make this mock more realistic. Being no expert, I had to reference this mock, created about a month ago.
Well, here it is.
2007 Mock Draft
1) Detroit (trade/San Francisco) Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame - Why Detroit? They dont exactly have an overload of talent.. Why Quinn? Well, Unless you have a Reggie Bush in the draft, a QB is the unanimous #1 pick.
2) New York Jets Adrian Peterson* RB Oklahoma Why New York? They have major questions at both QB and RB, which is a horrible combination. Why Peterson? I think this pick is Peterson because the Jets need to get some wins and with Curtis Martins age (and lack of productivity), they need someone who can get them some yards and, more importantly, some TDs.
3) Oakland Drew Stanton QB Michigan State Why Oakland? The answer is obvious, no QB. The obvious trend here is, in my opinion, no QB= no wins. Why Stanton? This also is a bit of a reach but I see Drew Stanton having a great senior season and competing all year with Brady Quinn to be college footballs next big thing.
4) San Francisco (trade/Detroit) Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin Why Detroit? Well, get ready for a shock. Detroit gets the 5th pick in the draft due to a lack of productivity at QB. Crazy, I know. Why Thomas? No one would be very surprised to see Thomas go this early as long as he has a good senior season and rehabs his injury well.
5) Tennessee Paul Posluszny LB Penn State Why Detroit? They will likely be some peoples sleeper team, but not mine. I just dont think they have the talent to win more than 5-6 games this upcoming year. Why Posluszny? He is a great linebacker that could have possibly been a first rounder in the 2006 Draft. He gave it a year and I think that it will pay off.
6) Houston Justin Blalock OT Texas Why Houston? I think that the Texans are not as bad as people say. They have a decent QB and a good RB whether it is Domanick Davis or Reggie Bush. Why Blalock? Well, he is 64 and already 329 lbs. so he definitely has the size. Blalock will be a great player in Houston and a starter from Day 1.
7) Buffalo Gaines Adams DE Clemson Why Buffalo? They have a young and struggling QB and their defense is not what it once was. It could be a long year for Bills fans. Why Adams? He is just a great athlete that played the rover position in college. He has the potential to be a NFL star at either DE or LB.
8) New Orleans Patrick Willis LB Mississippi Why New Orleans? They have a good QB, and two great running backs, but they are lacking on the defensive side of the ball. Why Willis? He is very athletic and could easily make the switch to the outside, which would elevate his draft status to the top 10.
9) Green Bay Dwayne Jarrett* WR USC Why Green Bay? They still dont know who their QB or RB is going to be. That looks like it could cause some problems. Why Jarrett? He is a good receiver from a great program. Green Bay has become desperate for wide receivers following the Javon Walker trade and the unfortunate situation with last years-2nd round pick.
10) Arizona Michael Bush RB Louisville Why Arizona? Their QB is nothing special and their defense is full of softies. Not exactly a winning combination. Why Bush? Well, after Reggies instant success teams will be doing whatever it takes to get another guy on their roster with the last name Bush. Not really. I think that Bush has a huge senior season and sees his draft status soar. It really pays off that he stayed in college. Good move Michael.
11) Cleveland Kenneth Darby RB Alabama Why Cleveland? They have a good RB and a hard working defense, but very little talent to pair with that aggressiveness. Why Darby? He is a good back in a system that fits his talents, and seems poised for a huge senior season.
12) Baltimore Ted Ginn Jr.* WR/CB The Ohio State University Why Baltimore? Uncertainty at quarterback and a defense that isnt what it once was, Baltimore probably wont be seeing the playoffs this year. Why Ginn? It seems low, but what position does he play? The questions surrounding him are the reason that he falls to #12.
13) St. Louis Willie Williams* LB Miami, Fl. Why St. Louis? They have a good running back, and they are trying to upgrade on defense, but I still dont see them putting it all together this year. The futures bright though. Why Williams? Despite not being very proven, I think Williams will have a good year and see his stock soar. Teams are high on potential, ask Matt Jones or Antonio Cromartie.
14) Atlanta Kenny Irons RB Auburn Why Atlanta? Michael Vick is growing older, but showing no signs of improvement. Im still not sold on him as a proven winner. Why Irons? He is a tough back who is almost a combination of current Falcons players Warrick Dunn and T.J. Duckett. Neither of those two seems to have much of a future with Atlanta, and Irons seems like a logical pick.
15) San Diego Laron Landry S LSU Why San Diego? They have a great offense that happens to be led by an unknown quarterback. He has the credentials, but how much do I trust a quarterback who has never started an NFL game. Why Landry? It seems like he will go top 10, especially after him being considered a top 20 selection had he entered the draft in 2006. However, Im not sold on him and I am predicting a down year in his future.
16) New England - LaMarr Woodley DE/LB Michigan Why New England? The loss of players and coaches has finally caught up to them. I see them as an 8-8 team. Why Woodley? Im not going to lie and pretend to be an accurate NFL scout, but from what Ive heard and read, Woodley appears to be a great fit for the 3-4 defense.
17) Philadelphia - Jason Hill WR Washington State Why Philadelphia? As much as Eagles fans blame injuries, they are not ready to compete for a super bowl win. Why Hill? He will look to string together his 3rd consecutive 1,000 yard season at Washington State, and will eventually become the go-to guy that McNabb has always wanted.
18) Minnesota - Kareem Brown DT Miami, Fl. Why Minnesota? For the second year in a row, the Vikings have made great free agent signings. Also for the second year in a row, they have failed to follow that up with a solid draft. Why Brown? As good as C.J. Mosley has looked in his reserve role, he is still a big question mark. Brown seems like a little more of a sure thing, and will solidify an already great Vikings defensive line.
19) Dallas Jordan Palmer QB UTEP Why Dallas? They have a good team, but Bledsoe is far from a sure thing at quarterback. Why Palmer? He certainly has the pedigree, and should be the third quarterback off the board as long as Brian Brohm doesnt enter. He could be the franchise quarterback that Dallas has failed to find in recent years.
20) Tampa Bay Khalif Mitchell* DE North Carolina Why Tampa? They are a good team with a promising young quarterback. The problem is that Simms is so inexperienced, and probably wont lead his team to more than 10 wins.
21) Washington - Adam Carriker DE Nebraska Why Washington? They have a high-powered offense and a top-five defense, but Mark Brunell is really nothing special. My guess, probably 10-6. Why Carriker? Nebraska has produced some good DEs, and Carriker will be the next in a long list. He is big and perfectly suited to be a 4-3 DE.
22) Jacksonville Oscar Lua LB USC Why Jacksonville? They addressed most of their needs, but I just dont see Byron Leftwich leading this team to more than 11 wins. Why Lua? He played the middle in college, but could possibly make the move to the strong side, where Clint Ingram hasnt proven anything.
23) Kansas City Levi Brown OT Penn State Why Kansas City? They have a good QB, a great RB, and an elite offensive line. Their defense is suspect however, and will keep them from a super bowl push. Why Brown? He looks like he will go earlier, but a lot of that stems from Penn States 2005-06 season, in which they were a game away from a National Championship Berth. After losing many of their key contributors, Penn State will win maybe 6 or 7 games, and the hype will die down.
24) New York Giants - Lawrence Dampeer DT Oklahoma Why New York? They appear to be the best team in their division as of now, but Eli Manning will prevent them from being a serious contender. Why Dampeer? He is probably the second DT in this class, which makes him the obvious pick, especially due to New Yorks glaring need in the middle of the line.
25) Cincinnati Doug Datish OG/OT The Ohio State University Why Cincinnati? They are a young team who is just a key player or two from the Super Bowl, but having Pittsburgh in the division may make them a Wild Card team. Why Datish? Its a huge reach here, but Ohio State players always seem to climb up draft boards (Donte Whitner?). They figure to lose one, possibly two starters on the offensive line to free agency, and Datish can play guard, tackle, or even center in the NFL.
26) Miami Michael Griffin DB Texas Why Miami? Solid defense, good QB, and a good running game leads to Ws. They will need a number of players to step up to win this many games, especially Daunte Culpepper. Why Griffin? Texas defensive backs have had success in the NFL (Nathan Vasher, and soon to be Michael Huff), and Miami obviously likes DBs with versatility (Jason Allen?).
27) Indianapolis - Jeff Samardzija WR Notre Dame Why Indianapolis? They are a great offensive team, with a defense that was MIA weeks 6-17 (and the playoffs). Why Samardzija? No one thought he would fall this far, especially the Colts. Marvin Harrison is old and Brandon Stokley isnt too young either. If you add that to the fact that they have so few holes to fill, Samardzija seems like the right pick.
28) Chicago - Jarrett Hicks WR Texas Tech Why Chicago? As of now, they seem to be just a step behind the likes of Seattle and Carolina. They will likely make a push for the NFC Championship Game. Why Hicks? He is a good receiver that puts up good numbers. Chicago has tried to hide it, but it will be obvious this year; they need a true, stud WR.
29) Denver - Tyrone Moss RB Miami, Fl. Why Denver? They have a good team that will likely end up in the AFC Championship Game, but their trip will probably stop there. Why Moss? Hes a Miami runningback, how can a team let that go? Think Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, and Frank Gore (poised to breakout).
30) Seattle - Kyle Young C Fresno State Why Seattle? I dont have a problem with Seattle, I just dont see Shaun Alexander having another 1,800+ yard year, and I also cant see the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Why Young? Robbie Tobeck is 36, and they hardly have a pro-bowl LG next to him. They need help on the line, and Young will bring it.
31) Pittsburgh - Quentin Moses DE Georgia Why Pittsburgh? A great team that, with the losses theyve had, probably wont repeat. Why Moses? First of all, were talking DE in the 3-4, not an OLB. He is a true DE, think Richard Seymour. At about 255, he seems small as of now, but he could be up close to 275 by the draft if he thinks it will make him money and get him on a Super Bowl team.
32) Carolina Brandon Merriweather DB Miami, Fl. Why Carolina? The way I see it, they are the best team in the NFL. Feel free to critisize the teams draft position, but remember I did pick last years Super Bowl teams correctly. Why Merriweather? He is a good FS who deserves to hear his name called in the first round. Mike Minter is 32 and has taken a beating over the years.
Tell me what you think. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.

That's if Culpepper is healthy. If not, uh, it won't be so pretty.
Also, this is the place you come to FIND OUT about next years prospects, so you'll be able to judge in the future.

True, but San Francisco stays at #1 and picks Brady Quinn wouldn't be too realistic either. I went by what teams will get what picks first, and then I filled in the players.

Yeah, Landry would be a good fit in the Chargers secondary. Sorry about predicting a bad season for you guys, if Rivers turns out to be worth the top 5 pick, San Diego is a lock for the playoffs.

Possibly, but you guys have three 2nd year receivers, and I bet 2 of them will break out this year.

No Calvin Johnson? Though some analysts claim he will stay his senior year, as long as he does not get injured that is very unlikely since our 4-year starter at QB Reggie Ball is graduating after this season. CJ should be included in this mock if Ted Ginn Jr., Dwayne Jarrett and Adrian Peterson are. And if he's included he will be at least a top 5 pick.
Sapere aude!

I think he stays, just because he has a chance of being the #1 player taken in the 2008 draft.

I would think the Browns go DLine... RB is not a need with Ruben Droughns, Jerome Harrison and Lee Suggs.

Heh you think the Lions will be picking in the top 5... With this amazing draft I would not put us out of running for the North Title.

by [muslim] Rezah Shah-Kazemi.
I'm just sharing a book for those with more muslims than buddhists near home.
The author "examines all the major schools of buddhist
thought as [he] understand[s] them."
Introduced by HHDL, this book looks like more than your usual Dawah from no-fly-listers excited by the worst in buddhism.
Please comment here on only the theravada dhamma in the book, not on Islam or comparative religion.

Originally published in 1972, William Goldman's delightful, so-called "abridgement" of S. Morgenstern's classic swashbuckling tale of true love and epic adventure, The Princess Bride, has reached an enormous audience, thanks greatly to Rob Reiner's wonderful film version featuring Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Billy Crystal, Andre the Giant, and William Goldman's sharp and vivacious screenplay. If you enjoyed the movie -- and I've never met a person who didn't -- you're certain to treasure this 25th-anniversary editon for many years to come. If you haven't yet delved into its enchanting pages, you'll find it utterly delightful, romantic, and entertaining read.
Because I saw "The Princess Bride" (many times now) well before I picked up Goldman's abridgement, I took it on with some reservation: How can anything possibly live up to that sharp and engaging movie? I was bucking for a serious letdown. Well, wasn't I surprised to discover that the film masterfully recreated the novel's brilliance? The sidesplitting humor, the appealing mood, and the romantic atmosphere are not unique to the film; these traits were lifted straight from Goldman's pages. Not only do I now have a deeper respect for Goldman's screenplay, but I have a fuller understanding of the fabulous characters that grace Reiner's film.
Remember Inigo Montoya -- the Spanish master swordsman whose life ambition is to find the evil six-fingered man who killed his father? Who can forget his famous line: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed father, prepare to die"? And Fezzik, the tenderhearted giant who -- although weak-minded -- is powerful in physical strength and loyalty. And of course, Westley and Buttercup who, as symbols of true love and unblemished perfection, must suffer greatly before they can be truly joined. While the movie does an excellent job familiarizing us with their individual stories, Goldman's novel grasps who these characters really are and how each ended up in common struggle. The novel adds a significant dimension to the story that -- believe it or not -- makes each character even more unforgettable.
Goldman's story is without a doubt a timeless classic. The sharp wit, snappy dialogue, and wonderful characters that engrossed us in the film spring to remarkable life in the novel. Experience the high adventure and the true love of The Princess Bride all over again.

Scarlett Johansson Talks Fashion with Flare May 2012
With her new movie "The Avengers" set to hit theaters on May 4th, Scarlett Johansson amped up promotions by landing the cover of the May 2012 issue of Flare magazine.
The 27-year-old actress looked elegant for the Alexi Lubomirski shot front page while opening up about topics such as her new D&G campaign and red carpet style choices.
Highlights from Miss Johansson's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Flare!
On working with Terry Richardson for her latest Dolce & Gabbana campaign:
"In the past those images were incredibly glamorous and had a movie star feeling to them and I think this campaign will be more intimate and natural, more like myself as opposed to a glamorous character that the boys had in mind. That kind of Anna Magnani sort of character. It's more modern, less golden age of Hollywood."
On her personal off-duty style:
"I don't really wear a lot of colourful things. I wear a lot of grey and black. I love grey and navy."
On dressing for the red carpet:
"I think it's nice on the red carpet to wear things that are colourful just because I think there are more options. You can take more of a risk I suppose with colour on the red carpet."
On her red carpet style for The Avengers:
"I'm the only girl in the film so I'm obviously going to be more aware that I'm surrounded by a bunch of suits. Everybody is going to be wearing black and grey and it will be nice to add femininity and some female sex appeal to the lineup. I think I'll steer clear of the tuxedo."
On experimenting with design:
"I like to design things. I think it's fun and I love clothing, but I don't think design is my total forte. It's something that requires a lot of time. If I ever did anything like that I would want to be behind it one hundred percent and I don't have the time for it. My brain is not in fashion in that way."
On designer collaborations:
"I've been very fortunate that I've worked with designers that are also good friends of mine. For different events, whether it's for the Oscars or the Met ball, I've worked with Dolce & Gabbana to design stuff as well as my friends Roland Mouret and Stella McCartney."
