A Very 'Active' 4 year old, would appreciate some advice x(19 Posts)
Hi, I have a beautiful little boy, just turned 4.
He's super confident, he's 'batman', has everyone in his nursery class following him, his best friend is a little 5 year old girl who lives round the corner, who he has to hold hands with everywhere, she's the same, and they are very close. He can sit lovely, and what is surprising us on a day to day basis is his ability with puzzles, his motor skills have always been fab, but we have now gone to 50+ pieces puzzles, which is no problem.
That's the good stuff, on the down side, he cant seem to calm down, he talks none stop when we are out of the house, can't sit down, shopping is a total nightmare as he screams demanding everything, tries to grab everything from shelves, the tills are terrible, he'll sit on the floor, scream, or run off - I also have a ten year old, who's good as gold, and he's been in tears trying to help whilst we've been out also, which is not fair on him.
Taxis are another nightmare, he tries to talk non stop to the driver, he goes for the door when he sees something outside, then he'll kick off, kick the seats, try to hit out, everything -
Indoors, the naughty step 'time out' thing works, may take a little while, but eventually, we get there, hug, and start again -
I try everything outdoors, getting down to his level, stopping, but i'm not a 'shout at you mum' (which i have been told to be by various strangers outdoors, which has killed me). I do discipline, but I must not be doing right. What worries me more is if he's feeling some frustration that makes him this way, but he's so happy, i'm just a bit stuck -any advice????
There's 2 possibilities:
1. He has adhd
2. You are not good at having boundaries and he is strong, clever child who is walking all over you.
I have one of those and I need much stronger boundaries than I do with my other 2 kids who are more compliant naturally. He just likes to push (he is very clever) and if he succeeds, he will keep doing it.
In terms of going out, I would talk before you go about what you expect and what will happen if it doesn't happen. Also, get him as involved as he can be in the shopping too, perhaps by the tills he is bored out of his skull. Finding things, checking how much stuff is etc.
It's a fine balance. You do need to make sure he is engaged, but at the same time there will come a time where he needs to sit and listen even when he is not interested so a little training in that and expectation of that is ok. Just not to a ridiculous extent. I think a 30min shopping trip where he is interracting (putting stuff on the belt etc.) and only expected to be quiet during the packing and paying is reasonable. If he can do it, perhaps he can have a bag of buttons or something and if he can't do that, there should be no buttons. (And no, you don't back down on it because he really wants those chocolates and throws a tantrum).
I have a very energetic and clever and willful 4 year old girl too.
I struggle like you - she can be a darling or an absolute nightmare.
However she is clever and I have found that having boundaries really works. Stopping a treat/ activity once was enough to stop the supermarket strops. So from my part that involved seeing through my actions and putting boundaries in place.
Also before we go somewhere it s helpful to have a chat to explain what s expected of her - like for example we re going to the supermarket, I need you to help push the trolley, but today I have no money for treats. You can choose the apples and the bread. Etx. I tend not to relive re shame of the last strop but instead focus on when she was well behaved - and remind her well that shopping trip went.
Defiantly follow through though if they don't behave. They are clever enough to take it on board.
Yes to the boundaries, but I would also add - don't go to the supermarket! It's simultaneously boring and massively overstimulating for children. All this stuff around them, endless things they can't have, your attention focussed elsewhere - it's a nightmare for a four year old. Get it delivered!
I wouldn't give chocolate or other sugary things to children who already have lots of energy.
Our 'naughty mat' is a movable concept - we've been at the zoo or at a national trust home or pretty much anywhere and if ds1 has kicked off and behaved badly then we find an appropriate bit of grass and tell him this is the naughty spot (not a pc term, I realise, but too late to change it to 'time out' now!) and plonk him down. It worked just as well as it did indoors at home. We rarely have to use that method now but the threat of it is still a deterrant from bad behaviour! (Ds1 is now nearly 5yo).
If you have to do a supermarket shop, try telling him that if he behaves nicely and helps you with the shop, putting the items into the trolley etc, then he can choose a magazine at the end. Praise any good behaviour and tell him how helpful he is being - actually harder said than done when you're tempting to spend the whole shop snapping and nagging (said from experience). Do online shops! I do Click and Collect as it is easier for me than having the delivery man banging on the door when the baby is asleep or having a feed.
Is he generally impulsive, OP, or do you let him get away with murder?
That's what you need to ask yourself.
Well I'd say that the naughty step cannot work if he repeats behaviour.
Perhaps try a different approach. If you're in a taxi, why don't you try talking to him, give him a magazine to look at? Same in the supermarket - if he's bright, can you give him little tasks to do? Basically keep his brain working so he's interested in what's going on?
Also you describe the older one as being better behaved - maybe you've forgotten what 4 year olds are like and your 4 year old acts up to get your attention? Do you compare him to his sibling?
steam in no way is he compared to his sibling - infact, quite the opposite - I do feel for my oldest because they are 'half brothers', my youngest's dad is with us, his dad isn't - my dd2 is superconfident and has his dads full attention, were as my oldest can feel very left out occasionally, which I try to make up for when we get time on our own - its difficult -
lljkk I'm not a 'shout at you' mum - no I don't let him get away with murder, but my other half would probably disagree with me on that -
I do the 'talk' before we go out all the time, involve my youngest at the checkout by helping put shopping on the belt, get a little something for him on the back of the line that he can give to the lady, have tried alot -
Ive read comments on 'boundaries', would be interested to hear some more about that, because maybe im not doing right??
Boundaries are basically where you explain what you expect and what is not acceptable (and why at this age). If the child crosses into what is not acceptable there is a consequence for that which is then carried through, without any caving in.
I have an almost-four-year-old boy who sounds extremely similar. He needs very firm boundaries - ie an explanation of what the rules are. eg "When we go shopping today you must not run off when we are at the checkout and you must not scream. You can help me put things on the conveyor belt if you want. If you scream or run off you will go straight on the naughty step when we get home. If you are very good I might just let you go on the coin-in-a-slot-ride-on car or buy you a magazine on the way home." Reiterate before you set off, once you are in the car and once you are in the shop. Then follow through with the consequences. It is SOOO boring but otherwise my son just will not behave. We also have a star chart with three things to work on every day for the week and a present at the end if he gets all the stars in (at the moment the three things are going to school without kicking up a screaming fuss, coming to the table without kicking up a screaming fuss and going to bed without kicking up a screaming fuss)!! I do my big shop when the children are at school/nursery so that if we do go all together it is just to pop in and get a few things - so it is reasonable to expect them to stay well behaved. Good luck - I feel your pain!
SteamWisher, I have tried the whole magazine/constant entertainment thing as you suggested but the more attention I give the more seems to be demanded. You have to draw the line somewhere, especially where there is another sibling. It's a parent's job to teach their children that sometimes they will not be able to have 100% of their attention or a constant supply of entertainment. (It's particularly important for my son as he is at pre-school in France and the cultural expectations are very much on children behaving themselves properly from a very young age, regardless of whether somebody is dedicating themselves to their entertainment of not.)
Yes I understand - I have two dc and my 4 year old can be a handful. Ds certainly knows he has to wait but if you're in a situation eg in a taxi then you have to try and distract because 4 year olds aren't always known for their patience. I actually avoid some things with ds like big supermarket shops as not worth the headache. As he gets older he is better at understanding he has to wait, about knowing what's dangerous as I'm always telling him so he learns.
An average four year old is old enough to be able to control his behaviour 9 times out of 10 at a supermarket.
Give him some jobs e.g. weighing some stuff, putting stuff in the trolley, remembering a short list of items. If he is naughty make sure there are consequences which he knows about beforehand- the same consequences every time. I used to let them sit on the ride on car at the end (with no money in!) if they followed the rules, if not, straight home afterwards. There were 3 simple rules - 1. Don't touch anything unless I have asked you to. 2. Don't ask for anything. 3. Hold onto the trolley / stay in the trolley unless I have asked you to get something.
Mummyx2 glad I'm not the only one that has made their kid sit on the floor! Looks bad to passers by but works really well and I never have to use it now.
Also at 4 either squash him in the trolley seat or say he has to hold the trolley on the way round - there should be no opportunities for him to run off.
TBH it sounds like you don't like/are almost scared of his screaming/tantrumming and he knows it. Try to zone it outI used to stand there and look bored and sometimes look at a magazine/book. If you don't nip it in the bud now, he'll recognise its power over you and he'll still be doing it in later years. You do not need to be embarrassed - every person in that supermarket has had a tantrum at some point in their life.
OP doesn't sound weak to me.
I have 4 (by same dad) &they are so different with the types of challenging behaviour they can present. If I only had DC2 & DC4 I could consider myself a smug super-parent & take ridiculous credit for what is actually just hard-wire personality. The Gods sent me DC1 & DC3 to save me from hubris (I like to think).
Holding onto the trolley rule is a great idea. I did holding onto his sister's pushchair rule when at a busy airport on my own with them last weekend and he was AMAZINGLY well behaved. Even just the job of having to stay in contact with the buggy seemed to be enough to keep him focussed instead of just running off crazily.
llikk Thank you so much, i'm not a 'weak' mum, and am certainly not scared of any tantrums as notevery would have suggested, just needed some advice x
chocolate i loved your suggestions, and i do do the 'hold on to the trolly' senario, I certainly wouldnt 'squash into the trolly', as notevery suggested
I certainly didn't call you weak. There is nothing wrong with putting a four year old into a trolley when they are slightly too big for it if it is not painful to them.
This is what you said about his tantrums :"*on the down side, he cant seem to calm down, he talks none stop when we are out of the house, can't sit down, shopping is a total nightmare as he screams demanding everything, tries to grab everything from shelves, the tills are terrible, he'll sit on the floor, scream, or run off* "
This is what I tentatively suggested you might be feeling based on what you said: "*it sounds like you don't like/are almost scared of his screaming/tantrumming and he knows it*"...ending the paragraph with "*You do not need to be embarrassed - every person in that supermarket has had a tantrum at some point in their life*".
But feel free to think I'm an unhelpful parent-hating child-beating bastard.
Notevery - lol, not at all!! Any comment is helpful and thanks for your comment!! xx

Foam Control
Control build-up of foam in aeration and settling basins, mixing vessels and below weirs and spillways
Foam is a dispersion of gas (typically air) in a liquid. Air can be entrained via agitation at the surface, such as a spinning impeller partially out of the liquid or a stream entering the free surface of a liquid (e.g., where a waterfall meets the pool at its base).
Foam is undesirable because it can overflow vessels, create slippery and unsafe working conditions, interfere with processing, damage materials, and cause tanks to drain and dry slowly.
Controlling foam can be accomplished by spraying liquid onto the surface of the pool. The sprayed liquid may be recirculated from the pool or added fresh. The droplets of the spray impact the foam bubbles causing them to break. If the droplets have too little momentum they will bounce off the bubble surface with no effect. Similarly, if the droplets have too much momentum they will crash through the bubble and impact the liquid below, causing more foam to be generated.
Typical Areas of Use
Foam control is often required in aeration and settling basins, mixing vessels and below weirs and spillways. Pulp and paper processing plants and waste water treatment plants (WWTP) are common industries that experience foam buildup.
Nozzle Selection Guidelines
Nozzle operating pressure can range from 3 to 20 psi (0.2-1 bar). Spray angles are wide, typically 120°, to cover the maximum amount of area. For stationary tanks, Full Cone nozzles are used, often in an array or at strategic locations. If the contents of the tank are rotating, a line of nozzles from the center of the tank to the edge can be used as the entire surface of the tank will pass under the line of nozzles after a complete rotation.
Typical operating conditions for this application are listed for each nozzle

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The Wilmington Housing Authority Board of Commissioners is asking for the public's input on two upcoming decisions.
The Wilmington Housing Authority received a grant to help plan for the revitalization of the Dry Pond Neighborhood. This are includes the SouthSide and Hillcrest Public Housing Community.
The city, county, and community leaders are fighting for a $30 million Choice Neighborhoods Grant.
The grant allows officials to use the money to promote the transformation of impoverished areas into viable mixed-income neighborhoods with access to economic opportunities.
There are three ways you can help leaders figure out the best ways to invest the money. You can email your comments, questions, complaints, and points of interest to email@example.com or you can take one of two surveys depending in the area that you live.
The Wilmington Housing Authority Board of Commissioners is also in the process of appointing its next Chief Executive Officer.
The board thinks this type of position should be filled by a person that the public thinks would do a good job. They are asking for the public to share what types of ideals, and attributes a worth candidate should exhibit.
To share your input, email them to: email@example.com

Music is a wonder healing medium. Without the frequencies of music this world would not operate with the sanity that it has today. I read in a article that hip hop is being used to help with mental illness. The fact that we spend billions of dollars on music is proof that we need the frequencies of music every day of our existence.
I recently saw a documentry about how music affects people with dimentia – It showed this old gentleman who had taken a turn to a semi-catatonic state… But when they played his favourite music of his youth, he lit up with a smile and sang along. Music was the only thing that could temporarily revive him. TheOpenMusic

HHVM's JIT is responsible for translating sequences of HipHop Bytecode (HHBC) into equivalent sequences of machine code in order to execute PHP code as efficiently as possible. When running in server mode, HHVM shares this generated code across the many different threads executing PHP requests. Up until about a year ago, the JIT had a global "write lease," which prevented multiple threads from running the JIT concurrently. This decision was made primarily to improve the layout of the generated code, but also to reduce implementation complexity. The project was still unproven, and we had to balance between shipping a perfect system and never shipping anything.

Our initial version of the HHVM JIT didn't use profile-guided optimizations, and we suspected that we were leaving performance on the table because of that. After adding HHIR and beefing up the JIT backend in 2013, a couple of us embarked on the journey of building a profiling mechanism and leveraging it to improve the JIT's optimizations and HHVM's performance.

"…use collections whenever and wherever possible. However, 100% usage of collections is obviously not realistic given how much arrays are used in various codebases …there just may be legitimate use cases for an array"
This is the guidance given to Hack developers on using arrays. While we still advise using collections whenever possible, in hindsight there are more "legitimate use cases" for arrays than we first believed. With that in mind, the team is planning on improving arrays so they are better supported in Hack. We've opened a number of issues on GitHub (#6451, #6452, #6453, #6454, #6455) with our initial plans. Since this would be a significant change in the language we are looking for feedback from the community. Before diving into what we are thinking of building, let's take some time to examine the problem we want to solve.

One of the most common questions we get about HHVM is why we don't use LLVM for code generation. The primary reason has always been that while LLVM is great at optimizing C, C++, Objective-C, and other similar statically-typed languages, PHP is dynamically typed. The kinds of optimizations that provide huge performance benefits for static languages tend to be less useful in dynamic languages, or at least overshadowed by all the dynamic dispatching that's done based on runtime types. We knew that there was probably something to be gained from using LLVM as a backend, but there were many larger opportunities go after first.

I just pushed HHVM 3.3.2 (and 3.4.2) onto the Debian and Ubuntu repositories. It contains fixes backported from PHP for several security issues that HHVM was also vulnerable to, as well as a fix for CVE-2014-9370, which is a header injection issue affecting only the deprecated built-in webserver. Most users of HHVM use FastCGI, which was not affected by CVE-2014-9370.

For several months now, Hack has had a feature available called
async which enables writing code that cooperatively multitasks. This is somewhat similar to threading, in that multiple code paths are executed in parallel, however it avoids the lock contention issues common to multithreaded code by only actually executing one section at any given moment.

XHP is a great way to safely create HTML user interfaces from PHP or Hack. We love how extensible it is, allowing you to create your own pseudo-elements that are composed of more basic building blocks - ultimately a series of HTML tags. This solves a similar problem to partial templates in other systems. At its most basic level, XHP provides an XML-like syntax for creating stringable objects representing markup:

Compilers are fun. They take nice, human readable languages like PHP or Hack and turn them into lean, mean, CPU executin' turing machines. Some of these are simple enough a CS student can write one up in a weekend, some are the products of decades of fine tuning and careful architecting. Somewhere in that proud tradition stands HHVM; In fact it's several compilers stacked in an ever-growing chain of logic manipulation and abstractions. This article will attempt to take the reader through the HHVM compilation process from PHP-script to x86 machine code, one step at a time.

A few weeks ago, the Hack language was launched to the world. Yesterday, we held the first Hack Developer Day in Menlo Park, California. 150+ Members of the PHP and developer community came to Facebook headquarters and joined over 2000 people online for presentations by the engineers of Hack and HHVM. Afterwards we held a five hour hackathon, where the attendees worked with those engineers to write Hack code, either by converting current codebases or writing new code from scratch. By the way, bonus points to anyone who can decrypt the commit message used when Josh originally pushed Hack to open source.

We try our best to be a stable dependable runtime, but if you are reaching into the deep dark abyss of the PHP language, you might stumble upon a dark corner where we segfault or assert. First of all, we are sorry. Secondly, we would love you to report the issue, and if you can put together a small test case that is best. If it only reproduces under the full moon when you hold your head to the side and hop on one leg, then a stacktrace would be next best.

At our last major version bump (2.0.0), we basically became a whole new project. We switched from a "PHP -> C++" translator to a virtual machine.

Today, we are happy to announce FastCGI support for HHVM. FastCGI is a popular protocol for communication between an application server (e.g. running your PHP code) and a webserver. With support for FastCGI, you will be able to run HHVM behind any popular web server (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc). The webserver is in charge of handling all the intricate details of the HTTP protocol. HHVM is in charge of what it does best, running PHP code blazingly fast.

When the hhvm project was started almost 4 years ago, it had a two-part mandate: First, create a PHP JIT that could serve facebook.com at least as efficiently as hphpc, the PHP execution engine we were using at the time. Second, replace hphpi, the interpreter our PHP developers were using in their daily work. hphpc and hphpi were independent pieces of software with unintentional subtle differences in behavior and a significant maintenance burden. Unifying the execution engines used in production and development would make our jobs easier while giving the PHP devs a nicer experience at the same time. We had to find a balance between reaching these goals as quickly as possible and designing a system that could be extended and improved for many years after it replaced hphpc and hphpi. There were also concerns that just in time compilation might not be fast enough to keep up with Facebook's aggressive deployment process. We were pushing a new version of the site to our fleet of web servers once every weekday, and the whole process took less than 20 minutes. We had to maintain that ability for hhvm to be a viable option. Taking all this into account, the initial JIT design was the simplest and fastest one that we thought had a good chance of succeeding.

HHVM is a highly performant PHP runtime. In fact, it is nearly 40% faster than HPHPc, and only getting faster. For example, the HHVM team just rewrote the JIT to use an SSA intermediate representation (IR). HHIR (HipHop Intermediate Representation) is a strongly typed, SSA-form intermediate representation, positioned between HHBC (HipHop Bytecode) and machine code. It allows HHVM to perform optimizations that were very difficult to perform with the old JIT, using the context of the current runtime environment (e.g., reference counting elision).
Owen Yamauchi
Posted May 29, 2013
HHVM's JIT compiler allows it to execute PHP faster than Zend PHP in most cases, unmodified. However, we've gotten some interest from the community in HipHop-specific optimization tips, so I put together a few for this post.
The principle that underlies all of these tips is: write code that HHVM can understand without running. The more HHVM knows before the code runs, the more it can optimize.

First of all, hi. I recently joined the team as you could probably see from my plethora of commits to github. I first fixed up closures a bit and moved our "PHP tests in C++" to have one fewer language. I'll be doing many exciting things for hiphop but I'll be mostly caring about making it incredibly easy for anyone to use for any PHP code. So please bug me if it doesn't run your favorite piece of code.

HipHop, if properly configured [1], will actually startup not one, but two http servers. The first, on port 80 by default, you're already familiar with. Requests are translated to filesystem paths, and PHP files are executed to generate content. The other one, however, you might not have come across yet.

In this post, I'll expand on a topic that I briefly mentioned in the footnote to my previous post: memory management.
Most modern programming languages, including PHP, have automatic memory management. Programmers don't explicitly free the memory they allocate, and the language runtime does that for them. There are a variety of approaches that language runtimes can take to implement this, and they lie on a spectrum.

As part of our drive to improve HHVM's performance, I started looking into the general topic of builtin functions. Currently, HHVM is calling implementations of builtin functions that were originally written for HPHPc, the static compiler. We wrote compatibility wrappers around them for HHVM, to get it up and running as quickly as possible. We have evidence that this compatibility layer is hurting HHVM's performance, so we're looking at ways to reduce or eliminate its impact.

Short stay migrants
If resident for four months or less, see the registration procedures for short stay migrants.
Standard registration
For internationals who will be resident for more than four months, the following methods are available:
If you are arriving in the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant or as an EU citizen you can arrange municipal registration via IN Amsterdam and will receive your CSN number as part of that process. Learn more about the streamlined services provided by IN Amsterdam (formerly 'Expatcenter Amsterdam').
Alternatively, upon arrival in the Netherlands, simply register with the municipality in which you will be resident (such as the district office at Amsterdam City Hall (if you will be living in the city of Amsterdam). Upon completing registration for the first time, you will be assigned a CSN, which will be mailed to your home address following the appointment.
Whether choosing to register via IN Amsterdam or your local municipality, it is required to make an appointment to complete the registration.
There are no costs involved with registering and receiving a CSN via your local municipality. However, highly skilled migrants or EU citizens choosing IN Amsterdam are required to pay the appropriate service fees.
You will find more information about the CSN on www.government.nl. You can also call the City of Amsterdam's information helpline on 14 020 or +31 (0)20 624 1111 (if calling from abroad).
The CSN is issued by a District Council office when a birth is registered with the Department of Civil Affairs. Children born in the Netherlands will immediately receive a CSN.

Tours, Kingdom of France
Because of his role in the Chilean-Patagonian War, he became one of the key figures of early Patagonia as well as the figurehead of conservatism in Patagonia, advocating absolute monarchy, nobility rights and the superiority of the European Patagonians over the local Mapuches. Because of this, he became the main political opponent of Heiner von Kermann, the more liberal Secretary of State.
Early Life
Born in Tours shortly after the Second Bourbon restoration, Vincent would grow in a rich family in the city of Tours. He would grow to be a conservative supporter of the absolute monarchy and an opponent to republicanism. Like his father before him, he would join the army, were he distinguished himself until he was able to reach the rank of Major. He married at the age of 23 with the daughter of one of his father's associates, Anabelle Carien, who was the same age as he was.
The end of the Bourbon monarchy, then the end of the Kingdom, lead Montessier to be dissatisfied with the way France was turning. In hope of a more conservative state, he supported the rise of Napoleon III in hope of the restoration of a monarchy in France. However, many problems of money leaved him in a problematic situation.
Chilean-Patagonian War
King Antoine I of Patagonia began to encourage France to join his Kingdom in exchange of ranks and nobility titles. Due to his problems in France, Montessier decided to leave for South America in early 1863, where he was received as one of the most important arrivers.
King Antoine I made him Duke of Confluencia. Due to his expertise in military knowledge, King Antoine I named Montessier his Marshal, replacing the Mapuche Antinanco Saqui who occupied the office since the creation of the Kingdom. Encouraged by King Antoine, Montessier took his troops and decided to go on an offensive against the Chilean, choosing the city of Cordoba as the site for the battle. The battle helped to stop the advances of the Chileans in Patagonian territories.
When the Austrian arrived, Montessier had to deal with their leader, Heiner von Kermann, who proved to be a good strategist and a competent administrator. It was agreed that von Kermann would focus on the defense while Montessier would focus on the offensive against the Chileans. This new division allowed Montessier to get rid of Antinanco Saqui, his predecessor, with who there was many tensions.
The news that Argentina joined the war on the Patagonian side convince Montessier that it was time to strike against the enemy. With 5000 troops, he lead an offensive in the north in order to join forces with the Argentinian. The following year, he advanced in Chilean territories or the first time and reconquered Araucania. On the 27 February 1866, he entered the Chilean capital and put and end to the war.
Marshal of Patagonia
As the Marshal of Patagonia, Vincent Montessier worked hard to train and form a new army for the country. He was also involved in the opposition against von Kermann decisions to give rights to the Mapuche. He also opposed the power given to von Kerman during the reign of Antoine I, who passed most of his time away from the capital.
He is credited for his role in the creation of the Patagonian army and in its modernization, as he worked on it during most of his time following the Chilean-Patagonian War. However, it was during this period that an attempt was made on the Secretary of State's life. Montessier was suspected to have organized the assassination attempt, but no proof were ever found.
Following the ascension of Jean I, his son-in-law, to the throne in late 1876, he was able to gain much more control over the state due to the new King conservative ideology. The Secretary of State Heiner von Kermann even got replaced by Vincent's son, Pierre-Pascal. This was followed by the King's decision to cancel the rights given to the Mapuches by Antoine I. Although he planned military actions against them, he felt too sick to occupy his office of Marshal and stepped down, leaving it to the Croatian Gizdan Ravlic.

Unreal Tournament III
Review by daywireless
"A sick game, but really not for everyone."
Remember playing those old online multi-player games, the ones where you strafed, jumped, dodged to victory? Heres a game straight from those days. Now upgraded to new technologies and perfectly up to standard with todays gaming standards. Don't be to afraid to put down that overly strategic Rainbow Six or Gears of War for a game that doesn't rely so much on the same form of strategy. This game, although essentially well without as much strategy of todays games, is still a fast past and extremely fun game. As you'll read on, you'll see why.
Graphics: 9/10
Ever heard of a little engine called the Unreal 3 engine? Of course! Who hasn't? Most games today that has that powerful next-gen graphics pumping through that X Box of yours is using the engine. Can I say its the best graphics I've ever seen? No. Can I say its very well one of the best graphics in a game? Easily: yes. In no way will you be disappointed in the graphics, without a doubt, just not the best graphics ever.
Sound: 8.5/10
Not a whole lot to say here, really. Is the sound goo? Without a doubt. But it isn't exceptional, exactly. Everything sounds good and like it should, but I can't really remember any time that the music or anything like that really made an epic feel at all or really enhanced the game. But Sound never detracted from the game, at all, so I'd give it a good solid 8.5. Not the best, but it isn't bad in any way.
Controls: 9/10
For the most part, the controls work very well. Its pretty easy to get a good grip on the controls and be jumping, dodging, aiming, sniping, whatever within your first sit down with the game. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because you'll be fumbling with the controls a considerable amount at first, especially while you get a grip on vehicle handling. There are many different options for how your driving will work in the main menu, so that is a huge plus, without a doubt.
Story: 7/10
The story in UT3 is definitely the weaker point of the game. It doesn't have to strong of a story, nor to compelling of one. If you play the campaign, you'll get a dose of the story. Its very much not needed to play well throughout the campaign. But the story itself is actually pretty good. If there was actually any direct relevance to story and progressing through the campaign, I'd definitely have a higher mark for it. But, as you can notice, it still isn't a very low grade for the story, and the reason being that the story is a pretty good one. It doesn't exactly connect to any of the previous games, except with returning characters and corporations, but its relatively enjoyable all the same.
Game play: 8.5/10
And now to what really makes or breaks a game. The game play. For UT3 here, its pretty hard to call. Its really a love or hate kind of game. Well, more like love or just kinda like game. Its pretty hard to hate it, really. The game is basically built around multi-player, not so much in a bad way, though. And to those who only play single player, there are bots (up to 16) for instant action and a pretty good campaign mode. The bots are usually pretty smart. I've noticed, though, several times with a bot would just stand there or shoot at a guy and just walk away without killing him at all. But, all and all, the bots work well. For those of you who are strictly into multi-player, as I have said, its basically built for you. All matches and games are all multi-player games. Like CTF, death match, and the like. There isn't a huge variety in game modes, but every mode is very fun and sustainable, especially with mutators (which just change little aspects of the game, like low gravity, slow mo) so its fun to play through again and again. Many vehicles and weapons are included, so you won't be bored ever or run out of weapons and vehicles to try and use over and over any time soon. BUT what will turn some people away from the game is the arena style fighting. If your mostly into strategy and highly strategic games, it may not be for you. Although, I very much am into those games and its about all I play, but I still love this game.
Overall: 9/10
A very good game, without a doubt. Its worth a rent, if not a buy. If your more into focusing on pure strategy, it may be only a rent. Its a very good change of pace, and it still is an arena game but modernized, you could say, to fit those strategists sort of games. If your more into a lengthy single player campaign, it may not be so much for you. But if your into multi-player, online or offline, its definitely worth checking out. Even comes with split screen on every game mode.

Word from Korea is that Samsung Electronics has agreed to provide advanced DRAM to LG Electronics and Apple for their new smartphones. The deal is said to be in the billions of dollars, and more important, reflects a warming in relations between the three companies.
Samsung has had legal issues with both companies. Apple and Samsung have been suing each other for just about everything, but recently agreed to drop a number of cases except in the U.S., where they continue to battle over patents.
The issue with LG was downright juvenile. The two Korean firms already compete in many areas, like consumer electronics, and a top LG executive was indicted earlier this month for allegedly vandalizing several high-end Samsung washing machines at a trade show in Germany last September.
"Under the agreement, Samsung will start providing LG Electronics with 100 percent mobile DRAM chips it needs for LG G4 smartphone, which will be unveiled in April. Also, Samsung will handle at least half of the amount that Apple needs for its new iPhone ― tentatively named iPhone 6S," a source familiar with the deal told The Korea Times. Samsung Electronics also provides memory for the upcoming Galaxy S6 phone.
The reference to a LG G4 and iPhone 6S shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Neither phone will hit the market any time soon; Apple traditionally launches phones in the fall, and LG is about to release the G Flex 2 shortly, so it won't release the G4 for a while to avoid cannibalizing itself.
And the timing is ideal. Just a few months ago, Samsung announced it had begun mass production of 8 gigabit LPDDR4 (low power double data rate) mobile DRAM with 20 nanometers.So it can begin mass production of the memory for a few months to get ahead of what will undoubtedly be massive need from Apple and LG.
LPDDR4 is a big deal for mobile. While DDR4 won't benefit desktops or laptops much, LPDDR4 will be a boon for mobile because it drops the power draw from LPDDR3 while increasing the bandwidth. LPDDR4 can offer twice the memory density and half the power draw as LPDDR3.
The news is a bummer for SK Hynix, Korea's other major DRAM maker, and for Micron, America's largest memory maker. Both firms would undoubtedly love to land customers like Apple and LG but for now they are shut out.
This is the second bit of news that indicates things are thawing out between Apple and Samsung. Recently, it was announced that Samsung would be the primary supplier of A9 processors for future Apple iPads and iPhones, with TSMC picking up the slack.

Unlike traditional cooling methods such as applying a wet flannel, Kool 'n' Soothe stays in place, so you or your child can get up and move around while still getting relief.
Kool 'n' Soothe is a hypoallergenic, non-medicinal product that can be used in conjunction with other medication.
How it works
The Kool 'n' Soothe strip contains a high percentage of water (roughly 70%) which works with the body's natural cooling system. As the surface temperature of the skin rises, the heat of the skin causes the evaporation of the water held within the Kool 'n' Soothe gel sheet - this creates a cooling sensation on the skin.
The excellent heat transfer ability is made possible by the gel's unique structure which disperses heat freely, and maintains a steady and constant cooling effect that lasts up to eight hours.
Kool 'n' Soothe for Fever
Convenient and easy to use, Kool 'n' Soothe Fever is a cooling gel strip which adheres to your child's forehead and gently cools. Unlike the traditional method of applying a wet flannel, Kool 'n' Soothe Fever stays in place and keeps cooling for up to 8 hours - ideal for fidgety children with fevers or temperatures.
Kool 'n' Soothe Fever uses a specially formulated gel that requires no refrigeration. It's a hypoallergenic, non-medicinal product that can be used in conjunction with over-the-counter pediatric analgesics or prescribed medication.
Kool 'n' Soothe Fever is ideal for use at times of high temperature or fever. It can also be used to aid restful sleep, for toothache, during travel, or on hot days.
How to use Kool 'n' Soothe Fever
*Cut or tear open pouch and remove one Kool 'n' Soothe soft gel sheet
*Remove transparent film from the back of the gel sheet and discard
*Place gel sheet on skin
*If desired, cut sheet to suitable size with scissors
*Store unused gel sheet in the foil pouch to prevent drying
*For best results use each sheet only once
Precautions for using Kool 'n' Soothe Fever
*Kool 'n' Soothe is suitable for Children 1+ year Targeted cooling relief to alleviate a child's forehead when he/she has a fever.
*This is not a medicine
*Use only as directed
*For external use only
*Avoid direct contact with eyes and nostrils
*When used on very young children, use only under adult supervision
*This is not intended to bring down a child's body temperature
*If your child is flushed or sweaty, they may have a fever. It is therefore important to check their temperature
*If your child has a headache, or a rash, or your child's temperature is over 39 degrees centigrade, you must seek medical advice
*If excessive redness, irritation, burning or discomfort of the skin develops, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare professional
*Contact your healthcare professional if your child experiences side effects or allergic reactions
*If fever persists, see a healthcare professional
*This product is used to support relief provided by other treatments such as medication.
*The gel sheet will not stick to the skin if the skin is wet, or if the gel sheet comes into contact with hair or clothing
Due to the risk of suffocation or choking:
*The gel sheet should never be placed on or over a child's nose or mouth, or in such a way that a child might accidentally place the sheet over their nose or mouth *Very young children should never be left unattended with the gel sheet

Arguably one of the canonical writers of American science fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin was born in Berkeley, Calif., in 1929, the daughter of Alfred L. and Theodora Kroeber. After earning an A.B. degree from Radcliffe College and an A.M. from Columbia University, Le Guin was awarded a Fulbright fellowship in 1953. The genre formerly classified as 'science fiction' has become divided into sub-genres, such as fantasy, realistic fiction, alternative history, and other categories. Le Guin resists classifying her own work in any one area, saying that some of it may be called 'science fiction', while other writings may be considered 'realist' and still others 'magical realism' (her term). Le Guin is one of the few writers whose works (which include poetry and short fiction) can be found in public libraries' collections for children, young adults, and adults. Le Guin's published works include a novel, A Wizard of Earthsea, that won an American Library Association Notable Book citation, a Horn Book Honor List citation, and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1979. She has been nominated several times for the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award--the highest honors in science fiction/fantasy writing--and has won both awards. Her Earthsea Trilogy is a mainstay of libraries' fantasy fiction collections. Le Guin married Charles Alfred Le Guin on December 22, 1953. They live in Portland, Ore.
Writer and activist Cory Doctorow was born in Toronto, Canada on July 17, 1971. In 1999 he co-founded a free software company called Opencola and served as Canadian Regional Director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. For four years he worked as European Affairs Coordinator for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and in 2007 won its Pioneer Award. His first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, won a Locus Award for Best First Novel. His short story collection A Place So Foreign and Eight More won a Sunburst Award, and his bestselling novel Little Brother received the 2009 Prometheus Award, a Sunburst Award, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. Doctorow also writes nonfiction books and articles, and he co-edits the blog Boing Boing.
Paolo Bacigalupi won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Compton Crook, and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards for his debut novel, The Windup Girl, which was published in 2009. His short story collection Pump Six and Other Stories was a 2008 Locus Award winner for Best Collection and his young adult novel Ship Breaker won the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature. His work has also appeared in High Country News, Salon.com, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.
Orson Scott Byron Walley Card, was born in 1951 and studied theater at Brigham Young University. He received his B.A. in 1975 and his M.A. in English in 1981. He wrote plays during that time, including Stone Tables (1973) and the musical, Father, Mother, Mother and Mom (1974). A Mormon, Scott served a two year mission in Brazil before starting work as a journalist in Utah. He also designed games at Lucas Film Games, 1989-92. He is best known for his science fiction novels, including the popular Ender series. Well known titles include A Planet Called Treason (1979), Treasure Box (1996), and Heartfire (1998). He has also written the guide called How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy (1990). He is the recipient of a Hugo and a Nebula award.

SPM Imaging- Closed Loop Scanner
SPM Imaging | Closed Loop Scanner
Closed Loop Scanner Upgrade
Hysitron offers the option of adding a Closed Loop Scanner to the TI 950 TriboIndenter. The closed loop scanner provides an increased scan range (X-Y: 100μm, Z: 15μm) with extremely low scanner bow and a scanning linearity of greater than 99.95%.
The closed loop scanner offers real-time position feedback and only takes milliseconds to settle. It also eliminates piezo creep and hysteresis by utilizing capacitive sensors for real-time position feedback and sub-nanometer noise performance.
The Closed Loop Scanner option is ideally suited for difficult applications by providing the ability to move in increments as small as a fraction of a nanometer with high precision and speed.
The ultra-fast settle time and quick positioning response of the Closed Loop Scanner allows researchers to run piezo automation experiments 2× to 3× faster than while operating in open loop mode. Additionally, the absence of piezo drift simplifies the process of identifying and targeting small surface features. The Closed Loop Scanner provides the capability of accurately positioning the probe on the desired surface feature the first time, every time.
Hysitron's Closed Loop Scanner Upgrade Features:
- Probe rastering closed loop scanner, ensuring sample is not moved during imaging or testing
- In-situ SPM imaging capability exclusive to Hysitron instrumentation
- Increased scan range (X-Y: 100μm, Z: 15μm)
- Real-time position feedback eliminates testing difficulties arising from piezo creep and hysteresis
- Capacitive position sensors with sub nanometer noise performance and a scanning linearity of >99.95%
- Advanced DSP control algorithms to maintain accuracy and speed
- Ultra-fast settle time allows for increased sample throughput
- Easy system integration

Neck tightening - ulthera or fractora. (photos)
Doctor Answers 8
Ultherapy for Neck Laxity
Often a treatment combination approach is the way to go. Ultherapy is great for skin tightening and fractora works well for skin texture. In our office, we will often use Ultherapy for tightening followed by the non-ablative 1540 fraxel laser. The two treatments together show great results. Based on your photos, I recommend Ultherapy followed by a procedure to treat the skin texture. You could also consider filler in the "necklace lines".

Getting the right treatments for neck tightening: Thermage, Ultherapy, Liposuction, fillers
A combination approach is needed. My recommendation for neck tightening for all my patients that are candidates for RF treatments is Thermage combined with exilis or Ultherapy. Liposuction with energy on the neck such as ThermiRF also does very well to tighten. Fillers can go directly into the lines for improvement. I suggest seeing an expert for an in person consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Tighten up!
I highly recommend the Ultherapy. It is the only FDA device to tighten up and lift those tissues. One of my favorite things about Ultherapy, other than the results, is that there is no down time. With Fractora you could have social downtime for up to a week! In my opinion, you don't need something that aggressive. Ultherapy will give you an amazing result. Good luck!

Best Non-Surgical Neck Tightening Treatment
You would really need an in-person consultation and evaluation to determine which treatment would be appropriate for you. Looking at your pictures I think you would do best with a combination of treatments. If you are looking for a lift and tightening, then Ultherapy or ThermiTight would be appropriate. For texture improvement and fine lines/wrinkles the treatments can be combined with microneedling, chemical peels, thermismooth, or laser. Fillers can help soften the deep horizontal neck creases. Please make sure you find an experienced provider. Hope this helps!

Ultherapy for neck tightening
Ultherapy is a no downtime procedure that is FDA approved for noninvasive skin lifting. With your age and condition you are a good candidate. Be aware that every nonsurgical treatment has a range of responses.

I wouldn't do either for necklace lines
While I do like ultherapy for skin tightening of the face and neck, one major drawback of the technology is that it does nothing for fine lines and wrinkles (texture issues). Texture issues such of those are best addressed with resurfacing devices i.e. laser, peels, microneedling. I do not have much experience with fractora personally, but the device makes me nervous as it has uninsulated needles an is very technician dependant. I Personally prefer Lutronic's Infini, In my opinion this device is the gold standard in regards to RF Microneedling devices. It has insulated needles which makes it more controllable with less downtime. I find it works great on necklace line and the perioral region. As opposed to fraxel and other lasers it has less downtime and also gives a degree of skin tightening.

Ultrasound vs radiofrequency
Ulthera is good for tightening the neck and jowls. You have some mild laxity in the neck so should do well with this. The radiofrequency is better for helping with the skin texture. So if you have a lot of fine lines and wrinkles in the neck RF is better choice.
Ulthera for neck tightening...
Thank you for your question. I think you are a fantastic candidate for Ultherapy. Ultherapy is the only FDA cleared non-invasive procedure that lifts and tightens the neck. Ulthera uses micro focused ultrasound to generate heat deep in the skin to lift and tighten. Fractora uses fractionated radiofrequency to create heat in the skin. Over time, ultrasound has consistently outperformed radiofrequency for lifting and tightening. Radiofrequecy is good for acne scarring and skin rejuvenation. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Kovachev, Dreier's Wingman, Pleads Guilty to Fraud
The Marc Dreier saga has pretty much wrapped up, at least on the criminal side. The disgraced lawyer has pleaded guilty, been sentenced, and done his perhaps inevitable turn on 60 Minutes.
But lest we forget, there was, however, a Robin to Dreier's Batman; an Ed to his Johnny; a Bernie to his Elton. His name: Kosta Kovachev. Kovachev had been accused of helping Dreier (pictured) carry out a scheme to sell millions of dollars in fake promissory notes. Kovachev, the allegations went, pretended to be an inside accountant for Solow Realty and impersonated Solow's then-Chief executive Steven Cherniak at Dreier's request in a separate phone call with investors.
On Monday, Kovachev pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, as well as a wire fraud charge. The plea was entered before Manhattan federal judge Naomi Reice Buchwald.
"I helped him," Kovachev admitted during . . .

The Floor Piano 3000 was a music making machine, located in the Underground Pool during Music Jams, until 2012. It was a giant piano keyboard with precisely one octave (eight white keys, five black keys) that played a note when you stepped on each key. Like most interactive party-only features, only you could see/hear yourself playing on the piano. However, unlike the other features, if you pull the switch showing the penguins, you could hear the notes everyone in the room plays.
- Although there are black keys (called a sharp or flat) just like a real piano, they do not produce a sound when played (when you waddle over them).

Did I Kill My Starter?
The most common question I hear about sourdough starters is how to create one. There are a lot of good threads on that here, and many people have reported success with one or another of the methods described in these pages.
The question I hear next most often is, "Did I kill my starter?" This usually happens because the starter has turned a funky color, and maybe started to smell funny, after being either underfed or neglected.

Lip augmentation is the enlargement of the lips in order to create a fuller, more youthful look, and to reduce wrinkles around the lips. This is often accomplished through the injection of either natural or synthetic fillers. However, more permanent surgical solutions are available.
Women with thin lips or who have developed wrinkles around the lips are candidates for lip augmentation.
Wrinkles around the lips can form as a result of smoking, sun damage, and aging. This area is difficult to address with a facelift, so it is best targeted by lip augmentation.
Augmentation of the lips is often done to enhance the result of other procedures such as the LiteLift®, a facelift, or other facial surgery.
Patients have many options when it comes to lip augmentation, and our highly skilled staff and surgeons can help you select the option that is right for you. Your general choices are between natural fillers, synthetic fillers or implants, and surgery.
A popular option for lip augmentation is injection with one's own body fat, transferred from another part of the body. Your own collagen can also be injected. These injections require more than one treatment to provide long-lasting results.
Lip augmentation patients today have a wide selection of injectables and implants made of natural and synthetic materials.
With such a wide variety of treatments and procedures available, the most important decision lip augmentation patients make is selecting the best doctor. The most skilled and highly trained expert will help the patient choose the option that is right for them. And, of course, the most skilled doctors will provide the best results with that filler or implant.
These procedures can create permanent improvements in the appearance of your lips. They are usually brief with quick recovery although some swelling may persist for several weeks. The overall costs may be less than repeated collagen or fat injections. As with all surgery, some scars may be visible depending on the technique and placement of incisions.
Lip wrinkles may occur around the upper lip and sometimes around the chin (the perioral area). Smoking sun damage, and aging can contribute to these changes. These areas do not respond to facelifts and need one of the treatments listed below to achieve an improvement.
Lip augmentation patients can generally return to daily activities right way, although one day of rest may be advisable if sedation was used.
Get the lips you've always wanted through our lip augmentation or enhancement options in Newport Beach. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are here to answer your questions and more.

The Kaiser study... found that the average premium for a family policy offered at work rose above $13,300 in 2009 — up from $5,800 in 1999. The average employer paid more than $9,800 of that, while the workers contributed more than $3,500. The workers were also hit with larger co-payments and deductibles, while their policies often offered fewer benefits.
The premium increase this year was a relatively modest 5 percent, far below the 13 percent rate in two previous years. But that still far outpaced a 3.1 percent growth in wages and a small decrease in inflation. Absent meaningful reform, worse is sure to come.
Kaiser estimates that, if increases revert to the average of the last 10 years, health insurance premiums in 2019 will average a whopping $30,800, which it calls "a very scary number." More immediately, a fifth of the employers surveyed said they are very likely to increase the amount that employees pay for premiums next year.
A Treasury Department study focused on the danger many Americans face in losing coverage:
Who threw the first punch depends on whom you ask. But who got the worst of it was fairly clear. Gladney was taken to the emergency room with injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face and ended up in a wheelchair. His troubles were just beginning. Recently laid off, this particular anti-health reform protester, it turned out, had no health insurance. Last heard, he was still accepting donations for his medical expenses.
