text: Matrix Is the No-Nonsense Flight Pricing Engine that Powers the OthersKevin Purdy8/12/10 6:00amFiled to: air travelSaving MoneyFlightsTravelTop342EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink ITA Software's Matrix is the software that powers Orbitz, Kayak, CheapTickets, and lots of airlines and travel agents' tools. But you can skip all their ads and come-ons and search Matrix itself for the no-nonsense scoop on flying cheap. Advertisement There's not much to not like about how Matrix gets its job done. You know how you're asked to "Please wait while SuperDuperFlights finds you the best fares!" That wait is cut nearly in half on Matrix. You can view a standard comparison of airline fares from one city to another on certain days, but if you're looking for something a bit more specific—flying in and out of multiple cities, for instance—the "More Options" button lets you do what you will across the nation's airways. The calendar view of the cheapest days for flying is another handy feature, though that's offered on other flight comparison sites, too. Commenters at The Consumerist blog point out that hardcore business travelers can get a lot more out of Matrix by learning some of its simple flight codes. Advertisement How about it, frequent fliers? Are you Matrix masters, or do you use another tool to get around the world (personal assistants don't count). Matrix is a free site, with an iPhone app offered, too.Matrix 2 [ITA Software via The Consumerist]Reply34 repliesLeave a reply

For those who like a pirate story and a mystery, "Scarface" is a fine one, well written, with plenty of action…. A map of the West Indies would have been a useful addition. And why will authors continue to make their people talk in hard-to-pronounce dialect when no young person likes to read it? As one boy said to me: "I spend so much time figuring out how the words sound that I lose sight of what they mean." Luckily, only a few of … Norton's lesser pirates drop "h's" all over the deck.

Last Night: M. Ward, Yo La Tengo, and Broccoli in Prospect Park
Here's your "healthy" rock snack!
[See More Rock 'n' Dinner Roll: Pavement's 'A Shady Lane' | Foodie Hip Hop]
Well, last night as the sun set in Prospect Park and Yo La Tengo took the stage (sans bass player James McNew, felled by appendicitis, but replaced by two other temporary musicians), I was distracted by the sight of punters passing in the gloaming carrying bowls of broccoli. Not hot dogs, barbecue, chips, or popcorn, but broccoli. Have the mayor's edicts finally fallen on fertile ground? I wondered as I leaped from the blanket and hastened to investigate.
Waiting in line for . . . bowls of broccoli at Celibate Celebrate Brooklyn last evening.
It turns out the event's concessions were dominated by Kensington's the Farm on Adderley, and it was offering a whole slew of vegetables to accompany the music, priced at three for $14, or individually for $5: succotash, green salad, green beans, peas and lettuce, and a spelt-farro salad that must have had the hearts of the nutritionists in the audience beating pit-a-pat.
And the audience seemed to be eating it up. To be fair, there were a few "unhealthy" options, too, including fries dressed with mayo, and pork sausage with Sriracha in a bun -- but the balance of the food was mayoral, to say the least.
Feeling smug, I wondered as I dug into my al dente broccoli: But would they dare to serve this fare at, say, a hip-hop show?

Crazy/Not Crazy
Today I made a donation to Wikipedia. Someone I live with said that was crazy. Wikimedia might not even be Wikipedia.
You vote.(and by the way, I told them I would alert people to their cash flow problems)
11 comments:
- Ron Scheer said...
Not crazy. I give handouts on the street to people who probably spend the money on drugs. I don't care. Maybe I'm crazy.
- F.T. Bradley said...
Not crazy. Donating money always involves a level of risk and trust. I don't think that makes you crazy, it makes you kind.
I worked as an accountant for a religious non-profit (temp job) for a while. Seeing how the money was spent turned me into a distrusting (maybe unkind) person. I now mostly donate clothes, food, etc. - 7:36 PM
- pattinase (abbott) said...
My sense of guilt overwhelms good sense I am afraid.
- Dana King said...
I budget some money each month for what i call 'good deeds." I have some favorite charities that get money every year, but about half of the monthly contributions go to things that catch my eye as good causes at the time. Some may not be such good ideas; I don't know. The way I look at it, the money was spent when I placed a line in my budget for it. I hope for the best and try not to let doubts stain the impulse.2 ightkEur
- Todd Mason said...
WIKIPEDIA is clearly the begging party, and they do (we do) pretty good work (though I've made no money from W).
I donate somewhat impulsively...I do tend to give folks things I want them to have along with things they ask for...
Panhandlers on the highway (lots of folks on the entrance to and exit from the Ben Franklin Bridge) get nothing from me, because they are on the [redacted] highway. In pedestrian areas, odds are a lot better for them from me.
I'll be applying to my office to match my Doctors W/o Borders this year, perhaps some others. I suspect they won't match my Occupy Sandy donation. - 10:25 PM
- Prashant C. Trikannad said...
We give away stuff like books (including educational), clothes, utensils and kitchenware, bags and accessories, and other sundry items as soon as we realise that we no longer need them. I don't give cash to little street urchins, instead I buy them something to eat. The money goes to their parents who probably spend it on booze and tobacco and maybe drugs too.
I try to give where it will make the most sense and do the most good. I give mostly to my church and its related national charitable arm (UMCOR--a Methodist relief organization). My children donate to Smile Train which provides low-cost surgery for children with facial deformities. My husband is the impulse giver--I'm sure any number of Big Easy panhandlers know he's a soft touch.
BTW, I don't think your donation is crazy. - 7:08 AM
- Margot Kinberg said...
Patti - My vote's 'not crazy,' too. We each have particular things that are important to us, and when there's a need there, donating is what one does.
Definitely NOT crazy. I agree with Todd, I never give to people standing at the off ramps of highways, especially since I know most of them regard it as their job and are there every day. In fact, I've seen the "shift change" several times.
Also do not give to those people on the streets of New York with the big jars "for the homeless" as they have been exposed as fakes and are supposed to be removed from the street.
I have given to people I thought might be scammers but if they were lying, that's on them to live with themselves.
We do give to recognized charities and give away a lot of clothes (some brand new with the tags still on) and books.
Jeff M. - 8:11 AM
- Thomas Pluck said...
You know I give plenty to causes. I've given to Wikimedia a few times, but at this point they should kickstart, create a pledge drive or something. It seems like they do this very often and it's true, they are so valued (despite not being a replacement for vetted references) that they require steady funding.
- pattinase (abbott) said...
My husband has no problem with contributing to the usual places. He is just leery of other sources.

Bone Diseases
Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body. They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. During childhood and your teens, your body adds new bone faster than it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can lose bone faster than you make bone. To have strong bones when you are young, and to prevent bone loss when you are older, you need to get enough calcium, vitamin D, and exercise. You should also avoid smoking and drinking too much alcohol.
Bone diseases can make bones easy to break. Different kinds of bone problems include
- Low bone density and osteoporosis, which make your bones weak and more likely to break
- Osteogenesis imperfecta makes your bones brittle
- Paget's disease of bone makes them weak
- Bones can also develop cancer and infections
- Other bone diseases, which are caused by poor nutrition, genetics, or problems with the rate of bone growth or rebuilding

Myositis means inflammation of the muscles that you use to move your body. An injury, infection, or autoimmune disease can cause it. Two specific kinds are polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis causes muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of your body. Dermatomyositis causes muscle weakness, plus a skin rash.
Other symptoms of myositis may include
- Fatigue after walking or standing
- Tripping or falling
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
Doctors may use a physical exam, lab tests, imaging tests and a muscle biopsy to diagnose myositis. There is no cure for these diseases, but you can treat the symptoms. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are first treated with high doses of a corticosteroid. Other options include medications, physical therapy, exercise, heat therapy, assistive devices, and rest.

I recently purchased a Fiio E07k to pair with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. However, I was unable to get the units to work correctly after trying multiple OTG cables. I returned the E07k and picked up an E7. It works but it's definitely a step down from the E07k.
I researched all of the Galaxy Note 2-compatible DAC/Amps on DanBa's most recent list to check out options within my (now slightly expanded) budget. It looks like the iBasso D-Zero and HRT Headstreamer Mobile are my only other viable options. Any thoughts on these units vs. the E7? I really liked the sound of the E07k when using my laptop as the source so I'd like to get something on par or better than that.
I'm very intrigued by the upcoming Fiio E18 but that won't be around until mid-late summer and who knows what the price will be. In the meantime I need something to tide me over. ClieOS recommended the Leckerton Audio UHA-4 in another thread awhile back, but it's just outside of my budget window and hasn't been tested as a positive pair with the Note 2.
Would it be worth paying a bit extra for one of these two units or should I just stick with the E7 for now? If so, I'll still have to have my new E7 replaced as it is faulty and only powers on when connected to an active USB port.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical University Building is locally significant under National Register Criterion A as the home of the Curtiss- Wright Aeronautical University, the first accredited flight school in the Midwest to admit black students and to hire black instructors. During the early 1900s, Chicago emerged as a center for black aviation rivaled only by Los Angeles. The Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical University served as an important entry point for many of the country's pioneering black pilots, who went on to play important roles in the promotion and expansion of black aviation in the United States and abroad. The building at 1338-1342 South Michigan Avenue is also one ofthe last known remaining structures associated with the rise of Chicago's black aviation community during the 1920s and 1930s. The building is significant under the themes of education and cultural heritage of black Americans with a period of significance extending from 1929 through 1953, mirroring the occupancy of the Aeronautical University. |

RING COLOR - Black
A quality single layer ring sling made from 100% linen. Slings are adjustable and one size will fit most. Will carry newborns to toddlers.
WildBird slings are machine washable in cool water on gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry.
Customer Reviews
@_jjy My Wildbird Jay has helped me to keep my baby close to me at home and outside. He is always snuggled up nicely and able to sleep when I carry him. I work from home half of the week and it allows me to work even when he is fussy. After a c-section delivery, SSC was pressing on my incision area but Wildbird kept me comfortable. Oh, and I love that the linen keeps both of us cool
@jamiesmoore The Wildbird sling is the only carrier my baby likes (and I tried everything). He loves to be held close and get to see the world around us, so the sling couldn't be more perfect! The neutral colors are beautiful and gender neutral, which my husband and I both love as we both enjoy wearing our son. It's so convenient to pack in my bag and wear him quickly and easily anytime we are out and about. Now I just need all the colors!
@nw_is_best We love our Wildbird! It makes everything - from daily chores to family outings - easier and sweeter having my son near enough to kiss. Once I started using it, he was calmer, happier, and more alert to his surroundings. It also put us on the same level, reminding me to talk to him more and involve him in everything I'm doing. Wildbird slings are now my go-to baby shower gift as well!

What Can Women Write? The Byline Divide
Over at WomenTK.com, Ruth Davis Konigsberg, who's also an editor at Glamour, has analyzed a year's worth of bylines at general interest magazinesnamely Harper's, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, and Vanity Fairand found that overall the ratio of male writers to female is 3 to 1. (TK, by the way, is reporter/editor shorthand for "to come," as in haven't yet nailed this fact/gotten this quote.)
The breakdown is as follows:
The Atlantic: 3.6 to 1
Harper's: 7 to 1
The New Yorker: 4 to 1
New York Times Magazine: 2 to 1
Vanity Fair: 2.7 to 1
As Ruth notes (and I've noted before here and here):
The numbers speak volumes, but they're not the whole story. As a former editor at The New Yorker wrote me in an e-mail, "in addition to counting bylines, you should look at what women are allowed to write about. I've been struck by a pattern, at The Atlantic in particular, where women only seem to write about marriage, motherhood and nannies, obsessively so. If you count the number of women's bylines there that weren't about hearth and home, the number would approach zero." And a current student at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism also noted, "At The New Yorker, it seems as though many of the female bylines aren't for hard-news-type stories. Women write about dance, or they write the short story, or a poem, or a profile of a fashion designer, or something. But the 'heavy' stories are left to the guys."At a panel I was recently at with editors of all these magazines, the EIC of the NYT Mag, Gerry Marzorati, rightly noted that part of the issue is that the punditocracy is dominated by men, in part because (warning: gross generalizations apply) they are more likely to believe that the world is just waiting to hear what they have to say.
But another part of it is, as Ruth quotes, Ursula K. Le Guin's observation that "there is solid evidence for the fact that when women speak more than 30 percent of the time, men perceive them as dominating the conversation."

The United States is witnessing a dramatic increase in the investigation and prosecution of business institutions and their executives and employees. Federal and state prosecutors and regulators, armed with new statutes and increased penalties, have placed institutions and individuals under great scrutiny in virtually every industry.
The lawyers in Bracewell's White Collar Defense, Internal Investigations and Regulatory Enforcement Practice possess the skill and experience critical to conduct internal investigations for companies and their audit or special board committees, to defend clients in the face of a criminal, civil or regulatory investigation or prosecution and to develop, review and audit corporate compliance programs to minimize the risk of violations of laws or regulations and, if subject to a government investigation, to reduce the likelihood of prosecution.
The substantive matters we handle are broad and include the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; environmental crimes; broker-dealer violations, accounting and financial fraud; government contracts and false claims act/Qui Tam matters; healthcare fraud; tax issues; and antitrust issues.

On the federal level, we represent companies and individuals under investigation by Congress, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Division of Enforcement, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). We also defend registered entities and individuals in proceedings before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). On the state level, we frequently represent companies and individuals under investigation by state prosecutors as well as state Attorneys General and other state banking, insurance and consumer protection agencies.
Internal Investigations
Due to the increased vigilance of regulators in enforcing statutes, and enhanced financial incentives to whistleblowers, corporations must be proactive in ensuring compliance with applicable statutes and regulations. Accordingly, we regularly conduct internal investigations worldwide for companies in the financial, technology, energy, insurance, and retail industries before and after regulatory inquiries.
Corporate Compliance
A thorough internal investigation often involves a review and audit of corporate compliance relating to a wide range of statutes and regulations. While the content of a compliance review depends on a corporation's organizational and management structure and geographic footprint, we examine, revise and develop corporate compliance programs, including reporting systems, financial and accounting controls and employee training programs. Such programs can minimize the penalties associated with any violations that may occur despite the presence of an effective compliance program.
Our White Collar Team
Prior to making their mark in the defense bar, many of our lawyers served in leadership positions at the Department of Justice, including Chief of the Criminal Fraud Section; the U.S. Attorney's Offices for the Southern District of New York, and the Northern and Southern Districts of Texas; the SEC; the New York (Manhattan) and Dallas County District Attorneys' Offices; and FERC. Our roster includes former United States Attorneys and several lawyers who have the invaluable experience of having served as both DOJ prosecutors and SEC enforcement attorneys. These lawyers offer an insider's view of how corporations and individuals should respond to a government investigation.

Chapter One
The little blue Ford Escort sputtered and died.Nicole Ferris coasted the car to a stop on the shoulder. Her headlights shone on a two-lane black asphalt road that sliced through snow-dusted fields and disappeared into the mountains.
She pumped the gas pedal and cranked the ignition. "Come on, baby. You can do it."
The Escort coughed, but the engine didn't catch. In the glow of the dashboard lights, Nicole read the gas gauge. Empty? But that was impossible! Yesterday there was half a tank, and she hadn't gone anywhere but to work and back. How could she be riding on empty?
Realization dawned like a slap in the face. "Joey," she said.
This morning, Joey had borrowed her car to use while his BMW was getting an oil change. Joey Wentworth, her roommate, must have run her car completely out of gas. Damn his inconsiderate hide! She could just kill him!
This wasn't the first time - not even the second or the third time - that he'd shown himself to be an irresponsible, spoiled-brat, wannabe-artist, rich kid. But what could she do? Nicole couldn't break up with Joey, because he wasn't her boyfriend, only a roomie. She couldn't throw him out, because his family owned the cabin where they lived.
The solution was to pack her bags and move on, but the thought exhausted her. Staying here - in god-forsaken Elkhorn, Colorado - was a hundred times better than being on the run again.
Resigned, she cut the headlights, twisted her key from the ignition and stepped outside into the freezing cold. She started walking.
There were no phone booths, no taxis, not even an errant pickup truck. It was after eleven o'clock and nobody else was out this late on a weeknight in October, nobody but Nicole, and she was nothing more than a speck in this vast, vacant, southern Colorado landscape - a pathetic little speck wearing a red parka over her pink tunic and slacks uniform that was wilted and wrinkled after an eight-hour shift at the Elkhorn Café where the specialty of the house was fried. Fried potatoes. Fried chicken. Fried bread. After working there for five months, the stench of deep-fat grease clung to her skin, her clothes and her long blond braid.
Peering through the desolate dark, she estimated it was only three miles to the cabin, but she was already chilled. And tired. And hungry. There hadn't been time to eat during the hectic Monday-night football game with the Broncos on television.
They'd lost. Twenty-four to sixteen. And she took their defeat personally. Losers! We're all losers on a cold night when sunrise is nothing more than a distant unbelievable promise. She had to keep slogging onward. Icy wetness seeped inside her sneakers. Her clammy socks twined around her toes as she trudged down the winding dirt road that was half frozen and half slush.
Finally she saw the light from the kitchen window of their cabin. Joey's BMW was parked under a stand of Ponderosa pines, which meant he was here - warm and cozy and unaware of the inconvenience he'd caused her.
Yanking her keys from her purse, Nicole hurried toward the red-trimmed log cabin. But there was no need to unlock the door. It stood slightly ajar, letting the heat escape. How typically wasteful! How typically Joey! She marched inside. "Joey, you little creep! You -"
Her voice echoed in the L-shaped living room. She hit the switch by the door. The overhead light shone on chaos. The bookshelves were pulled down, coffee tables overturned, magazines and books scattered all over the place. The sofa lay on its back. The logs by the moss-rock fireplace were strewn like spilled matchsticks. The TV and VCR sat in the middle of the braided oval area rug.
They'd been robbed! But why was the television set here? Were the robbers still in the house?
Nicole listened hard. She heard nothing but the sound of her own labored breathing.
She ought to run to the neighbor's, but nobody lived nearby. The cabins in this area were usually vacant in winter. And Joey's car was parked out front. He might still be in the house. The robbers might have hurt him, left him unconscious. She had to find him. "Joey? Are you here?"
Stepping over a pile of shredded magazines and a sofa pillow that had been slashed open to expose the white batting, Nicole edged toward the kitchen, ready to pivot and run if she encountered anyone.
The kitchen had not been disturbed. The tile countertops shone clean and tidy. The only mess came from her own muddy footprints on the patterned linoleum floor.
She tore open a drawer and pulled out a carving knife to use as a weapon. Holding the steel blade in front of her, she lifted the receiver from the wall phone and punched in the emergency numbers.
After three rings, a male voice answered, "Dispatch."
"Is this 9-1-1?"
"Sure is. What's the problem?"
"This is Nicole Ferris. I live at the Wentworth cabin, and I'm -"' She was scared and angry. Hot and cold at the same time. She'd felt this way so many times before. A terrible apprehension crawled up her spine.
"Is this Nicole from the café?" the dispatcher asked.
"We've been robbed." She fought the quaver in her voice. "Everything's torn apart."
"Calm down," he said. "Is anybody hurt?"
"I don't know."
"Is someone there with you?"
"I don't think so." The cabin felt empty. "Should I look around?"
"Don't go anywhere. Give me your address."
"Seven-three-three-seven Coyote Road."
"Stay on the line," he ordered. "I'm calling the sheriff."
Over the open phone line, she heard the dispatcher's mumbled conversation. He must have been listening to a country-western radio station because, in the background, she also heard the classic Patsy Cline song, "Who's Sorry Now?"
I am. She shuddered. What if this vandalism wasn't the work of robbers? What if Derek had found her?
A sob caught in the back of her throat. She'd escaped from her husband, had fled from him, hidden from him. She couldn't face Derek again, couldn't stand up to his abuse. Oh God, what if he'd been here? What if he'd found Joey and punished him?
Her anxiety heightened. She had to protect Joey. He wasn't big or tough. He was sensitive. An artist. Though his behavior was annoying and immature, she thought of him as the younger brother she never had.
"Nicole, I'm back," the dispatcher said. "The sheriff is on his way. You're going to be okay."

Turnout was relatively light across the state on Tuesday as voters went to the polls to decide which Republican and Democratic candidates would win their party primaries and go on to campaign in the state's second special U.S. Senate election in four years.
The race to fill Secretary of State John Kerry's former seat was overshadowed by the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, though turnout in the city was running slightly ahead of another special U.S. Senate primary three years ago in part because of an additional local race on Tuesday's ballot, the state's top elections official said.
Even before the April 15 bombing, the campaign had failed to capture the attention of voters compared with the 2010 special election following the death of longtime Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy. Former Republican Sen. Scott Brown won the Kennedy seat but was ousted last year in another high-profile race by Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. Two Democrats, both members of the state's congressional delegation, and three Republicans were vying for their parties' nominations to replace Kerry.
A win would help Senate Democrats maintain a caucus edge of 55-45 as they press forward on major issues including immigration and gun control.
The Boston Marathon bombing disrupted the political race, forcing the candidates to temporarily suspend their campaigns. The bombing also brought national security and terrorism issues to the fore in an election that was expected to turn on questions of the economy, gun control, taxes, immigration and abortion.
The Democratic primary pitted U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, who staked out more liberal positions, against fellow Rep. Stephen Lynch, a former ironworker who tried to appeal to the party's working- and middle-class base.
Lynch had to defend his decision to vote against President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law, while Markey, who won his first elected office while in law school, fended off efforts to portray him as a Washington insider.
Markey was the better-funded of the Democratic candidates, having raised $4.8 million through the end of the last reporting period, compared with $1.5 million for Lynch.
Markey also benefited from outside spending. Of the more than $2.2 million spent by outside groups, nearly 84 percent went to him, an Associated Press review of Federal Election Commission reports found.
In the town of Wayland, in his congressional district, voters trickled in to polling places.
Holly Zaitchik, a retired Boston University professor, said she voted for Markey because "he's done a terrific job of being there when anything important happens" in Washington.
Zaitchik also thought the marathon bombings might discourage voter turnout.
"There are a lot of people who are still down and not wanting to participate in things," she said. "It's disheartening."
The GOP primary race pitted former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan against businessman Gabriel Gomez and state Rep. Daniel Winslow, former legal counsel for ex-governor and 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Gomez tried to portray himself as the new face of the Republican Party. The son of Colombian immigrants, he learned English in kindergarten, then went on to become a Navy pilot and SEAL, earn an MBA at Harvard and launch a private equity career.
Winslow said he was the only candidate with experience in all three branches of the government. After 12 years as a private attorney, he was appointed to a judgeship on the state's district court in 1995. He served eight years and left to join Romney's administration as chief legal counsel.
Sullivan pointed to his national security resume, which includes helping investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and the failed attempt to blow up an airliner using shoe bombs.
Sullivan's law enforcement and criminal justice background was critical for Peter Bochner, a Wayland voter who cast his ballot for Sullivan and said he wasn't surprised at the relatively low turnout.
"Law enforcement gets the short shrift in political elections," he said. "I just think it's not a sexy election. I don't think primaries, unless they are hotly contested, get a big turnout."
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin has said fewer than one in five registered voters could end up casting ballots.
The special Senate election is June 25. An independent candidate, Richard Heos, of Woburn, will be on the ballot with the Democratic and Republican primary winners.
Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick named his former chief of staff, William "Mo" Cowan, to fill Kerry's seat on an interim basis until after the special election.

Hello i have a server and im looking for a good gamemode, i found hl2rp but is it worth 150EUR will the server get much players? is there any better gamemodes?
Hello i have a server and im looking for a good gamemode, i found hl2rp but is it worth 150EUR will the server get much players? is there any better gamemodes?
It varys on how good your at customising things but may be worth taking a look at this.
Well, I never liked it. It's always the same, walk, get some rations, talk and get bored.
no, its not.
Who the fuck buys a gamemode? Make your own.
who buys a gamemode that costs 15 times as much as the game itself?
Not worth the money, especially not if you don't already have an already populated community.
OA is horribly optimized, and focuses on letting the script do most of the work rather than the players.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Meh, some people like it including me. If you don't have a dedicated playerbase there is no way you should get it though.
No why should you pay for a gamemode? And it's full of back doors so the creator can shutdown your gamemode if he feels like it.
Who sells gamemodes when valve don't really like people donating for titles. Surly this is like selling DLC for the game at a price which can only considered disgraceful.
Absolutely not worth it unless you already have some major support from members and are certain that you can make a successful server with it. I personally own the Severance schematic for OpenAura and I already had a community built up before I started using it. Other than that, HL2RP really isn't a good choice for role-playing servers unless you've got some super special gimmick in mind to make it fun.
I don't see how Severance could be any better than HL2RP, RP is after all not about shooting zombies...
Most of the conna gamemodes are here: http://www.dramaunlimited.org/
Handing out wares is a bannable offense. Just saying.
No no, its not worth it at all. Its a gimmick. There is no reason whatsoever to buy this gamemode under any circumstance. Get tacoscript or something similar if you want to run an RP server.
The difference between tacoscript and openaura is not even close to 150eu. This is a obvious scam to the experienced crowd designed to pray on the inexperienced and perhaps younger crowd who think they've bought something special. Its also much more challenging to modify as the internal workings of the gamemode are hidden. The script itself periodically goes down if kuro's server is down which happens quite often considering he seems to attract people who own botnets.
But it can be... HL2RP is dull and overdone (and done poorly), he's got a good point.
150 fucking euros? merciful christ
And that's not what we did.
Its not warez, they have no right to sell their gamemode for money, they have no legal backings whatsoever..
Does it matter? They made it, they have a licence on it. I hate when people sell gamemodes, but the coder made it, they have the right to sell it.
Selling gamemodes seems like a perfectly normal practice to me. You wonder why?
Well, it's plain simple. A person makes something from scratch and requests the consumer to pay for them to be able to get/use the product.
It's like selling bread: The baker makes the bread and sells it.
Best thing to compare it with is websites. Everything you need to make a website is free, but people still makes and sell websites made out of free code to run on servers where people pay with, and people have to pay to be able to access the internet and see the website.
So do you hate your local baker(i know it's not a really good example, but it comes close to the core) or your local web-designer?
A lot of work goes into these kind of gamemodes, and I believe that the people who spent time working on it deserve somehing in return. Some people only want respect and release their gamemode, other fee that their gamemode is worth more than that and put a price on it.
Long debated issue, bottom line is in a legal sense they have NO backing.
Technically if Garry cared he would have backing against those selling gamemodes. However, he doesn't care and has stated this before.
Every gamemode uses some functions, some code, derived from a gamemode, ate a cake once owned by god or some other nonsical thing that would make copyright near impossible without an agreement with Garry or whoever it's applicable to.
Now, if it's moral to give away gamemodes people are trying to sell is a completely different issue. One I don't care about as I'd never pay £150+ for a stock gamemode. There are a bunch of bored schoolkids with some nice LUA talents that could build you a base for that. I'd also never steal one though, attracts attention / plus morality questions.
They have no legal right to the IP.
I don't think Garry has legal rights over ANYTHING related to lua coding as he is not the "father" of the lua coding language.
People are using functions that he released for people to use. He has not made a disclaimer that you cannot use the functions in commercial circles.
I'll give you an other example. People making a content management system and then others selling themes and templates for that content management system. This is an exact illustration of what is happening here.
People make a content management system using an open coding language, others then make a theme using the functions in the CMS and sell it on the internet.
If Garry does not want people to sell gamemodes, he needs to clearly state that in a user agreement or disclaimer.
Your saying this is all related to garry but im rather sure its says in the steam terms of service something along the lines of "you may not buy or sell within game environments unless done through official valve system". I remember there being some debate about donations for gifts they didn't like but they said it was ok to give a title.
Considering all the things people have said, I would consider selling gamemodes as selling DLC as I have already said which im rather sure IS against valve policy.
The thing is that the gamemodes don't contain anything owned by valve. It's a stack of lua code.
It's a grey area. Nothing will ever happen about it, but you can safely ignore DMCA requests from his company as he doesn't have a solid enough legal standing to make a claim. Plus, the DMCA would have to come from Conna, not gmod.biz.
I love it when Computer22 starts sending his DMCA's claiming he has lawyers and stuff. That just makes my day.
I think they do have DLLs made in the Source SDK, which aren't legal to sell.
Nodoby's talking about DLL's here?
We're talking about plain lua gamemodes.
Conna does redistribute DLLs he did not make or owns any rights to, he literally takes the DLL, changes a few method names here and there, recompiles it with a different name then claims it as his. his gamemodes have been caught using things like gm_bass, gm_sourcenet etc without the permission to re-sell.
Like i said before, I'm taking plain lua as an example. If you're going to start with dll's built on the source engine, then you're starting with something that is way over your head.
Without the DLLs his gamemodes don't function. So he is selling DLLs, which he has no right to. So yes, it is illegal.
Ah, I see, I wasn't aware of that because I don't really mingle with anything related to Kuro and Computer22 for obvious reasons.
Well, if you've got a really large playerbase, a quite big server (32 slots), and serious and professional intentions with your community. Sure, I would suggest you buy HL2RP. It's a great and interesting gamemode which definitely gives you a unique gaming experience.
Except that if you get around 20 players on OpenAura the server begins to lag.
150? One hundred and fucking fifty Euros?
That costs more than my fucking server did. Don't buy it.
Nope. Maybe on your crappy unlegit version, but on the official version, 32 players work just fine.
I don't use OpenAura, so I don't even own a copy of it.
It may have been updated since then, but a while back it did not react well to a lot of players.
Hey, at least the "pirates" of that gamemode weren't dumb enough to waste hundreds of dollars and feed some asshats ego.

The Federal Reserve sketched a dim outlook for the U.S. economy Tuesday, suggesting it will remain weak for two more years. As a result, the Fed said it expects to keep its key interest rate near zero through mid-2013.
It's the first time the Fed has pegged its "exceptionally low" rates to a specific date. The Fed had previously said only that it would keep it key rate at record lows for "an extended period."
Stocks plunged after the statement was released. Investors interpreted it to mean the weak economy could hold back corporate earnings longer than they had assumed. The Dow Jones industrial average sank more than 176 points in afternoon trading. It had been up more than 200 points earlier in the day.
Investors shifted money into the relative safety of long-term Treasurys, whose yields fell.
"There is a definite undertone of significant economic concern from the Federal Reserve," said Greg McBride, an economist with Bankrate.com.
University of Oregon economist Timothy Duy called the move "weak medicine."
Duy said he wanted to see the Fed commit to buying more Treasury bonds, to try to keep long-term rates down, until the economy improved.
The Fed's two-year time frame for any rate increase underscored a stark reality: A sluggish economy and painfully high unemployment have become chronic.
The Fed did hold out the promise of further help down the road but did not spell out what else it might do.
The central bank's decision was approved on a 7-3 vote with three Fed regional bank presidents who have been worried about inflation objecting. It was the first time since November 1992 that as many as three Fed members have dissented from a policy statement.
Fed policymakers used significantly more downbeat language to describe current economic conditions. It said so far this year the economy has grown "considerably slower" than the Fed had expected. They also said that temporary factors, such as high energy prices and the Japan crisis, only accounted for "some of the recent weakness" in economic activity.
The more explicit time frame is aimed at calming nervous investors. It offered them a clearer picture of how long they will be able to obtain ultra-cheap credit, and was at least a year longer than many economists had expected.
Fed officials met against a backdrop of speculation that they would say or do something new to address a darkening economic picture. The stock market has plunged and government data have signaled a weaker economy in the four weeks since Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that the Fed was ready to act if conditions worsened.
The economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent in the first six months of the year. Consumers have cut spending for the first time in 20 months. Wages are barely rising. Manufacturing is growing only slightly. And service companies are expanding at the slowest pace in 17 months.
Employers hired more in July than during the previous two months. But the number of jobs added was far fewer than needed to significantly dent the unemployment rate, now at 9.1 percent. The rate has exceeded 9 percent in all but two months since the recession officially ended in June 2009.
Fear that another recession is unavoidable, along with worries that Europe may be unable to contain its debt crisis, has rattled stock markets. The Dow Jones industrial average has lost nearly 15 percent of its value since July 21. On Monday, it fell 634 points — its worst day since 2008 and sixth-worst drop in history.
The tailspin on Wall Street was further fueled by Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade long-term U.S. debt.
Bernanke didn't speak publicly after Tuesday's Fed meeting. The chairman this year made a historic change by scheduling news conferences after four of the Fed's eight policy meetings each year, but Tuesday's wasn't one of them.

22 Tricks To Help Speed-Clean Your Home
Your parents are showing up in two hours. YOU'D BETTER GET GOING.
(it can be portable)
1. Keep a basket of supplies ready at all times.
You never know when you'll have to wipe down quickly. Start with an all-purpose cleaner, a glass cleaner, and a disinfectant, then pick your favorite sponge/paper towel/microfiber cloth/old toothbrush combo.
This blogger has a great basics list.
2. You can keep it in your cleaning command center to customize it every time you pull it out.
This blogger uses a tension rod to hang her spray bottles.
3. Or build an essentials kit in every room
Everything you need to clean the bathroom in one place. Like here.
4. Set a timer for yourself.
Giving yourself a deadline can be motivational and help you not get stuck on the small stuff.
(This won't work for everyone, but could be worth a try!)
5. Make a cleaning playlist.
This works best if you clean for, say, 10 minutes every day. It also might motivate the kids/roommates actually help (the key is to make it a game so everyone helps you).
6. Clean room by room.
Not a hack, but common sense.
Company coming? Only clean the rooms they'll see (like the kitchen, bathroom and living room).
7. Keep some bleach gel near your bath tub or shower for quick application to gross grout.
Spot cleaning is key. DIY bleach gel recipe here.
8. Quickly rub down everything in your bathroom with soap in a dish wand.
Water down some dish soap and do the tub, countertops and shower. Just rinse everything down afterward. From here.
9. Before you start running around, stick your towels and your shower curtain liner in the washer.
It's the fastest way to get the mildew out without spending time scrubbing it. (Or you *could* just close your shower curtain so no one sees…but you'll know it's not clean).
From here.
10. Spray the crap out of surfaces and wipe up.
This couldn't be simpler. From here.
11. Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to wipe down the greasy residue around your kitchen.
It also gets rid of soap scum and can sort of polish your stainless. From here.
13. Load. The. Dishwasher.
If you're lucky enough to have one.
If you don't have one…well, just hope they don't look in the sink. (Or suck it up and wash the dishes).
14. Steam clean your microwave AND spray down your range hood grate all at once.
Do two things at once, like this blogger.
(But you're forgiven if your speed clean doesn't involve cleaning your range vent filter thingy. I mean, probably).
15. If you have a lemon lying around, you can also stick lemons in the water you microwave.
For a lemon-fresh kitchen. From here.
16. Spray furniture polish on anything you need shinier.
Like your fridge, or your sink, or your coffee table, or whatever. Just don't spray on the floor or you'll probably slip and be sorry.
From here.
(sort of)
17. Pretend you just cleaned your sheets and pillows by spritzing linen spray everywhere.
19. Stick a sock on your hand to dust quickly.
Get it a little damp with vinegar first. (Maybe this is something you can get your kids to help out with.)
From here.
20. Use a gigantic extension cord for your vacuum.
That way you only have to plug it in once to go over every floor in your home.
From here.
21. Use a mop to wipe down ceilings and high dusty places.
(Or at least any cobwebs in the corners, if you're Snow White.)
22. Just wipe everything down with disinfecting wipes.
If that's too wasteful or toxic for your taste, try DIY Natural's version.
- Trump may have initially blamed Democrats for Friday's failed health care bill, but it took only 2 days for him to start blaming Republicans, too.
- United Airlines stopped 3 girls from flying because they were wearing leggings. The rule applies to travelers on "company benefit travel."
- South Korean prosecutors have reportedly asked a judge to issue an arrest warrant for former President Park Geun-hye.

Apple Reports the Most Successful Apps Ever
As the world awaits the 10 billionth app download and the subsequent $10k iTunes gift card prize to follow, Apple has released lists ranking 40 of the most successful apps of all time. Each list comes from a specific section of the App Store: Free iPhone/iPod Touch, Paid iPhone/iPod Touch, Free iPad and Paid iPad.
Each list stands as a microcosm of purchases, rash decisions and cultural oddities. We still can't get over the fact that the 7th most successful paid application for the iPad is a fart generator. A fart generator. What does that say about the majority of people that on the device? What does it say about me?
Also ranking among the surprising facets is the spread between Angry Birds and Doodle Jump. Doodle Jump is the most successful paid iPhone and iPod Touch app of all time, while Angry Birds stands in the fourth position between Pocket God and Tap Tap Revenge 3. We'll attribute that to the amount of time that's passed since each app's release. Doodle Jump saw birth on the iOS in April of 2009. Angry Birds? December of 2009.
The lists!
- Doodle Jump
- Tap Tap Revenge 3
- Pocket God
- Angry Birds
- Tap Tap Revenge 2.6
- Bejeweled 2 + Blitz
- Traffic Rush
- Tap Tap Revenge Classic
- AppBox Pro Alarm
- Flight Control
Free iPhone/iPod Touch Apps
- Pandora
- Google Mobile App
- Shazam
- Movies by Flixster
- The Weather Channel
- Google Earth
- Bump
- Skype
- Paper Toss
- SoundHound
- StickWars
- FlightTrack
- Backbreaker Football
- Calorie Tracker
- BlocksClassic
- iFart Mobile
- GoodReader for iPad
- Cro-Mag Rally
- Ambiance
Free iPad Apps
- Pandora
- Google Mobile App
- Movies by Flixster
- Google Earth
- Yelp
- Fandango Movies
- Remote
- iBooks
- Bible
- Solitaire
What about iBooks? iBooks is actually a suggested download. Users are physically prompt by a notification with the option to download iBooks. Everyone is. So why is it only ranked 9th? It just seems odd.
Application developers will likely take two things away from these rankings: a sense of pride (or disappointment) and the urgency of competition. Sure, Apple likely used these lists as an opportunity to add another layer of exposure for their marketplace, but a potentially unintended side effect could actually be a spurred sense of competition amongst developers.
Angry Birds beaten by Doodle Jump, you say? I bet Rovio and Lima Sky are working hard because of this new spotlight.

Southeast Asia
Much of our work in Southeast Asia focuses on linking conservation with livelihoods.
In southern Cambodia, at Bokor National Park, between 2008 and 2010, we were helping the villagers of O Toch enhance their livelihoods, pilot forest restoration and conserve rare NTFPs species.
We have assisted in setting up a community protected area within the park divided into a utilisation zone where sustainable harvesting is managed by the local community and a conservation core zone, where harvesting is not allowed.
In the conservation area, highly threatened native trees have been grown. As part of this endeavour, a local nursery was set up where, amongst others, the Critically Endangered Aquilaria crassna, an agarwood-generating species, was propagated. Saplings are intended at reinforcement programmes of wild populations, as well as are used for plantations to trial the artificial induction of agarwood.
More information this work can be found here.
In Vietnam we have been conserving medicinal plants alongside traditional herbalists by establishing reintroduction plots in Bavi National Park. We aim to use this model to implement similar community-based projects in Tamdao National Park
In Indonesia, supported by the Rufford Foundation, we worked with botanic garden partners on the conservation of Cibotium barometz, an increasingly rare tree fern. The golden hairs are used medicinally. The work included community outreach and training as well as strengthening the ex situ collections of the plant. We aim to expand this project to include Java and Sumatera
In November 2015, the 5th Southeast Asia Botanic Gardens Network Meeting was held at Bali Botanic Gardens. Download the conference programme here.

Come learn about environmental justice and equitable development at New Partners for Smart Growth!
By Megan McConville
Last time I visited Kansas City, Missouri, my host took me to the Green Impact Zone, a 150 square block area that has experienced severe economic decline. During our visit we also met with community leaders, local and regional policymakers, and federal partners who are working collaboratively to transform the area. We saw the challenges facing the neighborhood—the vacant structures, run-down housing, and dilapidated streets—but we also saw improvements to the Troost Avenue Bridge that accommodate pedestrians and buses, heard about home weatherization projects, and learned about the Neighborhood Leadership Committee, the Community Leadership training program, and other community engagement efforts.
Since then, Green Impact Zone leaders have begun redevelopment projects that will turn vacant buildings into affordable housing, small businesses, and community facilities; train unemployed residents to find jobs; improv sidewalks throughout the neighborhood; and much more.
The Green Impact Zone is just one of many innovative efforts I'll learn about when I return to Kansas City February 6-9, 2013 for the 12th Annual New Partners for Smart Growth Conference. Last year's conference had over 1,500 attendees, including environmental justice leaders from across the United States. The premiere smart growth conference in the U.S., New Partners explores all aspects of the field, from community revitalization, affordable housing, and small town livability to green building, health, and climate change adaptation.
The afternoon of February 6, I'll attend a workshop titled Sustainable Neighborhoods, Thriving Residents: Strategies for Building Equitable Communities, which will explore how low-income, minority, tribal, and overburdened communities are integrating land use and economic development strategies to revitalize their neighborhoods and build residents' skills and wealth. Leaders from community organizations, governments, and businesses will share how they are knitting together planning, infrastructure investment, development policies, workforce training, business assistance, and other approaches to improve the physical environment, create jobs, avoid displacement, and encourage inclusive economic growth.
As the conference continues, the agenda is packed with environmental justice and equitable development-focused events (PDF), such as sessions on green zones, cleaning up freight projects, fair housing, and engaging industrial neighbors in smart growth projects. And, there are networking opportunities for people interested in regional equity and public health, and tours of diverse Kansas City neighborhoods.
The registration deadline for the conference is coming up on January 18, so make sure to sign up before it's too late. I'll be there and I hope to see you there too!
About the author: Megan McConville is a Policy & Planning Fellow in EPA's Office of Sustainable Communities. She explores how overburdened communities can combine smart growth and environmental justice strategies to improve their neighborhoods, health, and quality of life.

I've ordered the Sennheiser HD650. Want to know about some audiophile recordings which I can use to show off my headphones to laymen/non-audiophile/casual listeners/people like my parents.
I've downloaded lot of High Res audiophile FLAC files like
1. B&W very high audiophile recordings(just fell in love with Allan Taylor's colour to the moon, one sexy, deep, masculine voice he's got),
2. FIM classical reference 1,
3. Bela Fleck's Throw down your heart,
4. Elgar Holsts planets,
5. nordic sound 2L,
6. Steely Dan audiophile mega pack,
7. mudcrutch mudcrutch audiophile CD,

On the Job: Toolmaker Avoids Machinings Common Collision Course
14 Oct, 2005 CadalystSeco improves performance by moving from CAD to NX CAM
Automated machining centers and lathes are great providers of accuracy and job speed -- until collisions occur between work piece and tooling. Although no major disaster to a business, over the course of a month or a year, a series of collisions during a job can add up to a lot of lost production time.
Seco Tools is very competitive in the cutting tool industry, each year supplying clients such as Dana Axle, Warman, and BA Systems; various others in railway, mining and aerospace; and those in mold and die production.
The Move to CAM
A long-time user of CAD software, Seco opted for a move to CAM technology to reduce the possibility of trouble spots on its machining centers. The company chose UGS' NX CAM, provided by plm (Product Lifecycle Management Australasia), a distributor of UGS PLM solutions in Australia and New Zealand. Seco also saw that CAM could speed up productivity on the workshop floor.
NX CAM is designed for manufacturers needing a CAM-specific solution and offers benefits both as an element of a standalone UGS CAD/CAM solution or in a multi-CAD environment where data may come from a variety of CAD sources. Automation techniques enable preferred processes to be followed for each type of operation or product, which makes the system more productive and leads to consistent, higher-quality results. Working directly from the features defined in CAD model geometry with a high degree of associativity means design information can be utilized directly in the manufacturing process.
NX CAM digitally tests merging components on a high-speed lathe to gauge accuracy of a proposed job. |
Technical manager Dean Townsend says Seco Tools took on CAM software as part of a national group standardization. "We were only using CAD software but wanted to unify and use CAM to give us that direct digital step from design to manufacturing, basically bypassing that CAD step."
Easy Transition
"Originally," Townsend explains, "we thought NX CAM may be a difficult program to which we had to adjust, but it is generally quite easy to use, especially after the training we received from plm. We were put through a 'rapid start' CAM course inclusive of postprocessing. The ease of use was apparent as early as day three, when the programmer was effortlessly making parts on the machine and in the way he wanted to machine them," Townsend says.
"The digital design environment is crucial to our productivity, as the commercial pressure is always on to manufacture special tooling for the cutting industry through a multinational Seco Tools organization, but we also specialize in specific solutions as they arise."
Seco Tools Australia specializes in customized cutting tools and with NX CAM and a custom 5-axis post written by plm. The company is able to manufacture complex cutting tools to customer requirements in a minimal amount of time with great accuracy, precision and repeatability.
"Efficiency level with NX CAM is quite high," Townsend says. "Over just one daily shift, one user of the CAM software will generally speed up jobs.
A boring process in the digital environment of NX CAM enables more efficient component use. |
"It is the software's high level of visualization that provides the critical element during our design phase," Townsend continues. "Essentially, with this bypassing of what was formerly our CAD process, we are able to make sure there are no collisions on our production line before we actually go onto the machine."

On Monday night, Mike Madaras called his father, Dave, to discuss the future. He had been missing class and arriving late to meetings for the Maryland football team. The red flags Dave noticed over the past several months were now raised to full mast. "Dad," Dave remembers him saying, sensing the weight in his voice over the phone. "I really, really don't want to be here right now."
Hearing this was hard for Dave. He raised his oldest son on football, coaching Mike in the I-70 League starting at age 7. But he also knew what his son was feeling. After all, bad grades once got Dave's scholarship revoked at Division II Delta State in Mississippi some three decades ago when he, too, was a strong, burly, young offensive lineman with plenty of potential but bigger issues at hand.
"I think maybe one of the things he was trying to get at was, 'Hey, if something happens and I can't keep playing here, well Dad will understand because the same thing happened to him,' " Dave said Tuesday in a telephone interview, less than an hour after Maryland announced that his son would both leave the program and withdraw from the university because of personal reasons.
"It's been kind of rumbling for a bit. I think his behavior when he got suspended earlier was probably one of his ways to send a signal, like, 'Hey, I'm struggling here.' I get it. You know what, I get it completely because I screwed up when I had a scholarship in college. I probably should have never told him the story, because he wants to be like his dad."
The decision had been festering for months, Dave said. This summer, the university suspended Mike for two weeks for violating its code of conduct. The sophomore starting left tackle arrived late for study hall and failed to attend class, earning 6 a.m. disciplinary punishment from the Terrapins. Dave knew the struggles his son was feeling, and each time tried to pump him up.
Once a four-star recruit selected for the Under Armour all-American game who once held scholarship offers to Michigan, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and others, Mike had made 16 straight college starts protecting the blind side. Maybe, Dave reasoned, a pep talk would straighten Mike out. "Let's get it together," he would say. "Let's work on this."
"Really, truly I think those were little band-aids on something bigger," Dave said.
So Dave took Mike out on Sunday night. They talked things over, just like Mike did with Coach Randy Edsall on Tuesday morning when he broke the news of his impending departure. Afterwards, Mike again called his father. "He felt like the weight of the world was lifted off him," Dave said.
Deep inside, Dave hopes his son takes the time he needs, regains some perspective and maybe, just maybe, considers playing football again. Mike told Dave he wants to sit down and figure out the next step. After Dave left Delta State, he joined the Marines and later served on a peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, where he survived a suicide bombing on Oct. 23, 1983. He anticipates Mike getting a job "before long."
Regardless, Dave knows a decision like this hurts. Mike Madaras's departure leaves Maryland without a starting left tackle with four games left in the season. But he also knows that decisions like these supersede football, and even college. As Mike told Dave of his decision Monday night, Dave interrupted him. "Hey, we're good," he said.
"He's my son," Dave said. "I don't worship the god of football. He's my son. I'll love him no matter what, and I'll stick by him and I'll support him and I'll help him get his act together and help him do what he wants to do in life. Sure, deep inside of me, do I hope he gets away from it and say I want to play again? That'd be pretty decent if he does.
"Hey, I wish everything had worked out right and he was still there playing football in college. That'd be the ideal world and he's not. Things happen in the world. Things don't always work out the way you want them to do. So what do you do, you adjust to the situation and make the best of what you're going to do. That's what I'm doing right now. He needs support right now. He doesn't need a kick in the [rear]."
