I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop w/ Intel graphics:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)
My TV is an Olevia 27" which shows up in the display settings as "Synaptics Inc 27".
My HDMI output worked perfectly fine up through 10.10 and kernel 2.6.35-29, but yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 and now I have problems. The output to my TV still works, though there are tons of "scan lines" and any time I move the mouse or drag an application to the tv (vlc for instance), the lines get worse and go crazy. In display settings the TV is set by default to 1360x768 @ 60Hz which has always been the default and worked just fine, until 11.03 w/ the 2.6.38-10 kernel. I believe the native resolution of the tv is 1366x768 but the 1360x768 always worked.
I did figure out that I can set the resolution to 1024x768 @75Hz and the scan lines go away, but this is not ideal. I tried reverting back to the 2.6.35-29 kernel to see if it worked as it originally did in 10.10, and the scan lines do not appear, however the display only takes up 3/4 of the TV, with the other 1/4 black and most certainly the border. Definitely even less ideal. So I'm back on the 2.6.38-10 kernel for now using the lower resolution. I also notice that when playing a video, the video appears to be just a few milliseconds behind the audio; not a huge delay but just enough to be noticeable.
After a lot of Googling I tried to use xrandr to add and set a new mode of 1366x768 @ 60Hz for the TV, but the lines remain. My xrandr output is as follows:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2304 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm

640x480 59.9

800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
848x480 60.0
640x480 75.0 72.8 60.0 59.9**
TV1 unknown connection (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
848x480 30.0 +
640x480 30.0 +
1024x768 30.0
800x600 30.0
So, does anyone know what might have changed in the new kernel/video drivers that would cause this behavior to change from it's previously perfect operation in 10.10 and below? TIA!

American Sociological Association (ASA) Quick Style Guide
Citations and References:
Each time you refer to work that is not your own, you must include both a main text citation in the body of your writing and a reference to that citation in the Reference List at the end of your paper.
References in the main text:
Include the last name of the author and the year of publication. To avoid plagiarism (inappropriately using another person's words without proper citation), you must directly quote verbatim, using quotation marks and the name, date, and page number in parentheses, or you must paraphrase and mention the source of the idea (name and date only).
Use page numbers only when you quote an author's words: Sociological analysis of cities is "critical to achieving far-reaching social change in this century," according to Duncan (1959:71).
If the author's name is not in the text, enclose both the last name and year in parentheses: Sociological analysis of cities is critical to creating social change (Duncan 1959).
If the author's name is in the text, follow the name with the year in parentheses: According to Duncan (1959), sociological analysis of cities is critical to creating positive social change in America.
For joint authors, use both last names: (Martin and Bailey 1988)
For institutional authorship, supply minimum identification in the text and the complete citation under References: (U.S. Bureau of the Census 1963:117)
Separate a series of references with a semicolon and list alphabetically: (Burgess 1968; Duncan 1959; Maxwell 1971)
For works with three authors, list all last names in the first citation in the text; thereafter use "et al." For more than three authors, use "et al." throughout: (Carr, Smith, and Jones 1962), then (Carr et al. 1962)
Cited References (Reference List):
A bibliography includes all the works you read or scanned during the writing process. List references in alphabetical order by authors' last names. References without an author name appear at the beginning of the list. For two or more references by the same author, list them in order of the year of publication. Use six hyphens and a period (------.) in place of the name when the authorship is the same as in the preceding citation. To list two or more works by the same author from the same year, distinguish them by adding letters (a, b, c, etc.) to the year and list in alphabetical order by the title.

The scene in front of the Aurora, Colo., theater on July 20 where a gunman opened fire during the opening of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises."
Calling it a "disgusting offer" and a "thinly veiled publicity ploy," some victims' families of the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre are outraged that the movie house chain's owner would invite them to a special event marking the reopening of the place where 12 movie-goers were killed and 58 wounded.
Cinemark CEO Tim Warner offered free tickets to an event Jan. 17 for the reconfigured Aurora Century Theatre, according to an invitation letter sent to Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan and obtained by NBC News. Warner also points out the community had requested the theater's restoration.
In addition, victims and their families were told special arrangements could be made for them to visit before the reopening, on Jan. 15 and 16.
According to the Denver Post, an email invitation was also sent through the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance. It said that counselors would be available at the event.
In response, a group of families fired back a letter of their own, blasting the invitation and saying they would urge a boycott of the event on social media.
"This disgusting offer that you'd 'like to invite you and a guest to a special evening of remembrance on Thursday, January 17 at 5 PM' followed by the showing of a movie and then telling us to be sure 'to reserve our tickets' is wholly offensive to the memory of our loved ones."
Watch the Top Videos on NBCNews.com
The letter says Cinemark had not reached out to families before the invitation.
"None of us received a letter of condolence or any other communication from Cinemark, but now they want us to step foot in that theater," Sandy Phillips, mother of Jessica Ghawi, told The Denver Post. Ghawi was one of the people fatally shot during the sold-out midnight showing of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20.
"We, the families, recognize your thinly veiled publicity ploy for what it is: A great opportunity for you to distance yourselves and divert public scrutiny from your culpability in this massacre," the letter states.
Court date set for Colorado theater shooting suspect's biggest hearing yet
A survey conducted this summer by the city of Aurora found the majority of residents in favor of having the theater reopened, the Post reported. It was remade into an XD theater with wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor screen.
Several victims' families have sued Cinemark USA, alleging improper security at the theater on the night of the massacre.
A spokeswoman for Cinemark told NBC News the theater would have no immediate comment on the boycott.
James Holmes, a 25-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder in the shootings. On Wednesday prosecutors said they would make public evidence in the case for the first time in a hearing next week.
At previous hearings, a defense lawyer has said Holmes suffered from an unspecified mental illness.

Soundshop is a hip-hop music education program that works with local high school students to cultivate independent thinking and celebrate their unique voices. The workshops offer a safe and dynamic learning environment and provide students with opportunities to engage in a multidisciplinary understanding of music through performance, creation, and description. The goal is to motivate students to develop creative thinking, to trust, take risks, and collaborate.
The workshops feature seasoned local artists and award-winning musicians. One three-hour workshop comprises four main components: (1) introductory performances by guest artists and senior administrators; (2) group discussions focusing on specific topics related to artist's creative process, narrative construction, and social and cultural critical thinking; (3) breakout groups for lyric writing and beat-making led by artists and senior administrators; and (4) concluding performances by the students that summarize the lessons learned.
Navid Najafi
Nā Hōkū Hanohano Hip Hop Album of the Year award winner in 2012 and 2013, Navid is one of the most respected and highly regarded emcees in Hawai'i. His smooth flow and intelligent, positive lyrics have been well received by fans and critics alike. A graduate of the University of Hawai'i, Navid is a dedicated volunteer and youth facilitator in his community. Along with serving as an administrator for Soundshop, he is also a poet facilitator and youth mentor for the non-profit poetry education organization Pacific Tongues.
Scott Ohtoro
A Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-nominated music producer/DJ/musician, Ohtoro is a member of hip-hop band Super Groupers.

Hailing from Mākaha on Oahu's west side, Punahele rose to prominence in Hawai'i's hip-hop's underground scene, eventually becoming Bacardiʻs first Iron MC Champion in 2015. He has performed and collaborated with artists of Hawai'i's punk, reggae, and contemporary Hawaiian genres. His style of fusing East Coast lyricism, West Coast flare, and a powerful and soulful Southern style of delivery makes him a force to be reckoned with on stage, while his grassroots viewpoint as a Native Hawaiian gives listeners an authentic local experience.

Other Treatment Options for Alcoholism?
I am desperate to find a treatment center that is science based. I have attended 12-step programs and followed the programs to the "T". I cannot shake the cravings. I desperately need a treatment plan based on science and medicine. I admit I am an alcoholic and hate it. I know its destroying my family and myself and hate it but the 12-step program just isn't the answer for me. I have blue shield blue cross PPO insurance and Medicare A. My wife works for United Airlines so I can fly anywhere in the world the right program. Can you please help refer me to a treatment program? I also suffer from depression and bipolar has been discussed as a condition but not actually diagnosed. I have spent days researching on the internet and I am not finding what I am looking for. Thank you very much!
Treatment programs vary widely in their emphasis on medical vs. psychosocial treatment. In most cases, combining medical treatment with psychosocial treatment (like counseling and 12-steps) gives an individual the best chance at managing alcoholism.
Many physicians and psychiatrists are committed to treating alcoholism in a balanced and integrated way. One group is known as ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) and a searchable list of their members can be found here: www.asam.org/MemberDirectorytest.cfm
Another group is known as AAAP (American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry) and access to referrals can be found here: http://www.aaap.org/patient-referral-program
Finally, there is a national database of mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment that can be found here (I suggest you limit your search to places that treat both mental illness and addiction): http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/
It is important to ask the treatment center if they offer disulfiram, naltrexone, acamprosate, naltrexone-injectable, topiramate, and other science-based treatments for alcoholism.
Good luck to you. If you would like to discuss offline, please write back and let me know.

Go to the Addiction and Substance Abuse health topic.

Gargamel Music, Inc. is pleased to announce that reggae superstar, Buju Banton's prophetic new album, Before The Dawn will drop in North America (and Japan) on Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The release date for the UK and France has been set for Monday, October 4, however, it will be available in the rest of Europe a few days earlier on Friday, October 1. Fans around the world may pre-order the album now on both iTunes and Amazon.com.
Recorded at Banton's own Gargamel Music studio in Kingston, Jamaica, Before The Dawn literally pierces the soul with traditional roots on the track "Do Good,"classic rock on the tune "No Smoking At All," and heartfelt reggae on the especially potent "Battered & Bruised." The album's unofficial anthem, "Innocent"strikes a highly personal chord that will resonate deeply with longtime fans.
Physical copies of the album contain a special note written from inside the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, Florida, where Buju Banton has been patiently awaiting trial for the past nine months. He will finally have his day in court when the trial, which has been riddled with delays, kicks off on Monday, September 20, in Tampa, Florida.

I didn't have many "dreams" when I started the blog.  But, one of the only pipe dreams I had was to someday shoot something for Italian Vogue.  I never imagined that it would actually happen, but it was just something that I had, and that drove me.
So, I am extremely humbled to share with you a shoot that I did for Vogue Italia for their August edition.  Even though I had done things for Vogue Pelle before, you can't imagine my shock and awe when I got the call about shooting something for Franca.
It's funny. ¬†When you get the call about doing something you've always wanted to do, you wonder – can I really do this? ¬†But I was very happy with the result. ¬†It was very fun to work with Patti Wilson and the incredibly high level of skill and talent she brings to a shoot. ¬†It was also great to have the chance to shoot cool young ladies such as Keira Chaplin, Poppy Delevigne, Vanessa Traina, and the Richards sisters.
You can see all the shots and a behind-the-scenes video online at Vogue Italia, here.

When the Arizona Cardinals made Beanie Wells their first-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, they thought they were getting a running back who would become a staple of their offense.
It never worked out that way. At the tail end of another injury-plagued season, Wells views Sunday's season finale against the San Francisco 49ers as an "audition for a job somewhere else."
"That's my mindset," Wells said Monday, via The Arizona Republic. "I'm just going to go out there and put my best foot forward for all the 31 other teams that's watching."
Other teams surely were watching last Sunday, when his fumble at his own goal line led to a Chicago Bears touchdown in a 28-13 loss.
Wells still has one more season left on his Cardinals contract, but he called the end of his time in Arizona "inevitable."

"You never expect things to unfold the way they do," he said, "but it's a part of life and you have to roll with the punches and adjust to them as they come."
It sounds to us like Wells wants out of Arizona, whether the Cardinals want him gone or not.

Cause of Villa Valenti fire investigated
Cause still unknown of blaze that destroyed landmark restaurant
North Greenbush
As fire investigators poked through the charred remains of the half-century-old Villa Valenti restaurant on Wednesday, the Valenti family gathered nearby to mourn.
A wake of sorts was under way at the West Sand Lake Road home of family matriarch Emma Esposito Valenti after a roaring blaze on Tuesday evening destroyed the restaurant, just up the road at the corner of Route 150.
"We are all in shock," said Kim Lindeman, the niece of the restaurant's operator, Ralph Valenti.
Family, friends, employees and neighbors dropped by to offer their condolences to Emma Valenti, whose husband, Samuel Valenti, opened the business in the mid-1950s. He died at the age of 90 in 2006.
The landmark restaurant, known for its generous servings, was a popular setting for wedding banquets and special occasions. For years, diners were given a free meal on their birthday.
"That was a tradition," Lindeman said.
Whether to rebuild the restaurant hasn't been decided yet.
"We can't even think right now," Lindeman said.
The blaze put about 50 employees out of work.
Bree Marano and Victoria Niedbalec, who are tenants of Emma Valenti and worked part time at the restaurant, ran to the scene on Tuesday when they heard the building was on fire.
"The flames were shooting up and the Villa Valenti sign collapsed and fell in just as we got here," Marano said Wednesday.
The two women stared at the charred mess and wept as their thoughts turned to Emma Valenti, who taught them, among other things, the art of making delicious meatballs.
"She was not doing too well last night and she's very upset about this and we feel terrible for her," Niedbalec said. "She is such a great lady."
About 100 firefighters from 12 fire departments battled the quick-moving fire.
The blaze likely started in the basement, fire officials said. A cause had yet to be determined on Wednesday afternoon.
No one was reported to have been injured in the fire, which began just before 7 p.m.
According to authorities, the first firefighters to arrive said they saw heavy smoke coming from the rear of the restaurant. The flames quickly spread through the building, which was reportedly made of wood.
Firefighters initially had trouble getting water on the fire because of low water pressure.
Firefighters also tried to enter the building but were ordered back as the intensity of the fire increased. By 9 p.m., Villa Valenti was gone.
The restaurant, which was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, was empty when the fire started.
Samuel Valenti, a Troy native and the son of Italian immigrants, was born into the restaurant business. His parents were the founders of Troy's Volcano Restaurant on Ferry Street, which they opened in 1908. It was operated by the family for more than 70 years.
Sam Valenti moved to Wynantskill in the mid-1950s and opened Villa Valenti, his son Ralph said in his father's 2006 obituary.
A Villa Valenti trademark was its thick, flavorful red pasta sauce. When a customer years ago suggested that the family bottle and sell it, they did and a version of it became a popular item on grocery store selves across the country — minus Emma's secret recipe.
The product will still be available despite the loss of the restaurant. It is made and packaged by a Canadian company and the proceeds go to the Prevent Child Abuse in America organization, Lindeman said.
Villa Valenti's demise has saddened diners and employees alike.
"When you were there, you felt like you were part of a family," Niedbalec said. "I hope they can come back."

A Girlfriends Understanding Love by Discreet Lover
Fiction , Female/Female, Lesbian, Spanking
Introduction: A woman makes her girlfriend open up
Leah! Im home! Jade called out as she closed the door to their apartment. Leah and Jade had been living together for little over a year now. They had been dating for three years, but when Leah had started college a year ago after finishing her ten month program to become an LPN they had decided to take the next step. Leah had moved in a month after she had started college. And ever since then things had been going great.
Jade had started a new job shortly before Leah had moved in and made more than enough money to support them. That way Leah didnt have to work and could focus on school. She had insisted for weeks that she get a job to help pay bills, she was sure she could get a good part time job working at a hospital. She argued that was the whole reason she had done the LPN program in the first place so that she could work and go to college. But Jade had forbid her saying she would have enough stress with school and didnt need to add stress from a job as well. So after a while Leah gave up but she did pull her weight around the house by cleaning and cooking, something she was more then used to doing. Leah didnt want it to seem like she was mooching off of her girlfriend. So Jade let her clean and cook for the most part.
Leah? Where are you sweetie? Jade called out as she hung up her coat. Usually Leah ran out eager as a puppy to greet Jade, but today, just like every day this week, she hadnt. Jade was starting to worry about her girlfriend, she hadnt been acting like herself lately.
Jade was a beautiful 31 year old woman. She had shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes, mocha colored skin and a well shaped body that Leah could hardly keep her hands off of. Jade was 5'8 and had one of those personalities that made have to love her. She was a shy person when you first meet she will quickly become your best friend and one of the funniest people you know.
She walked though their two bedroom apartment heading for their bedroom. She pasted through the livingroom which was simply yet tastefully furnished. A cream colored couch sat against the wall across from the tv. A lazy boy was pushed into a corner by the windows and a coffee table sat in the middle of the room in front of the couch. Pictures decorated the walls and a clock hung over the mantel. She walked down the short hall passing the smaller bedroom that had been turned into an office before she came to the master bedroom. In their king sized bed, under the midnight blue sheets was Leah, acting like she was asleep.
Leah , why are you in bed? Are you feeling ok? She asked as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Im fine. Just leave me alone. Leah muttered and rolled over. Leah was young girl only 21, she had black hair that just brushed her shoulders, caramel colored skin and honey brown eyes. Of course that wasnt her real eye color, she wore colored contacts which Jade always said was unnecessary. Her real eye color was a dark brown so dark it was almost black. Leah was 5'5 with a slim figure and when she's with Jade she had to look up at her which she loved. She was a fun loving, bold, sometimes hyper girl that was reluctant to truly take her place in the adult world. Although she was a responsible woman that always took care of business she rarely hesitated to revert to her child like behavior. Which sometimes caused Jade to have to act more like Leah's mother then her girlfriend, but she didnt mind since it didnt happen often or for long periods of time.
Leah, baby, talk to me. Whats gotten into you lately? Jade asked her voice full of concern. Leah just pulled the covers tighter around her. Neither one of the women were big talkers when it came to their emotions or when somethings bothering them, but it was something they were working on.
Jade sighed then said in a firmer tone. "Aaliyah, sit up and talk to me." That usually worked on Leah but not today. She pulled the covers over her head. "Damn it Jay! I said leave me alone!" She said in a bratty tone.
The older woman sat there a moment thinking then shook her head. She didn't like having to use force, but sometimes it was needed in order to get through to her girlfriend. She yanked the blanket off of Leah and pulled her over her lap. Leah gasped and looked back at Jade as she did that. She saw the look in Jade's eyes and knew instantly what was about to happen. "Jay! No!" She exclaimed but it was too late.
Jade pulled the younger woman's pj shorts and panties down and started to spank her with one hand while holding her tightly around the waist with her other arm. Leah started to squirm after the first stinging slap landed on her bare bottom. "Jay! I'll talk! Stop!" But she knew Jade wasn't about to stop just yet. When Jade made the decision to spank Leah, which wasn't very often, she made sure she followed through. Meaning she wasn't going to stop until Leah was crying just the right way. Jade knew when Leah clammed up like she had done over the past week, she wasn't about to open up until she broke down. And a spanking just helped speed up the process.
Jade landed several crisp hard spanks to Leah's cheeks starting from the top and working her way down to Leah's upper thighs then back up. It didn't take long for Leah to start crying softly but Jade persisted wanting the full emotional release. After her third pass over Leah's bottom and thighs she got what she wanted. Leah went still and started crying in earnest, letting all her pent up emotions out. Jade gave Leah a few final spanks then rubbed her girlfriends back. Then she helped Leah sit up on her lap and cuddled her close as she cried. After several minutes she finally calmed down to sniffles. "Thank you." She said softly as she laid her head on Jade's shoulder.
"You're always welcome sweetie. Are you ready to talk now?" Jade asked as she held Leah tight.
Leah sighed and nodded. "Mommy's called me everyday this week. She and daddy are having problems, I don't know what she wants from me. I've already told her I'm not coming home. But she keeps calling saying she needs my help. She even asked if she could send Leon and Carol here!" She shook her head. "What are we going to do with an eight year old and a two year old? She just doesn't seem to understand that I have school and you have to work. Plus I have mid terms coming up in two weeks! I don't have time to deal with them nor do you. I've been stressing over mid terms and mommy, I'm sorry I've been distant over the past week. I wish I could help mommy though.
Jade listened to Leah's story quietly and couldn't help but feel a little angry at Leah's mother. Leah had always been there for her mother whenever she was needed. She had given up a lot in order to make her mother's life easier. And now that Leah was finally able to break free and start her own life, her mother was trying to use her again. The sad part was that Leah lived three states away from her mother. Leah has a scholarship to the University of Missouri so there was no way she could even try to go home to help her mother and all her mother was doing was stressing her out.
"I'm sorry sweetie. I wish we could help her too. But we can't and you can't let her stress you out. Your brother and sister are no longer your responsibility. You need to tell her you can't help her this time and if she keeps calling you might have to start ignoring her calls."
Leah was quiet for a moment. "But Jay I've already told her I can't help her I hate that there's nothing I can do for her. I hate not being able to help her."
Jade tightened her arms around Leah. "Baby I understand but you can't let her worry you. You have a life now, don't let her suck you back in."
Both women were silent for a while lost in their thoughts. Leah sighed. "I guess you're right. But it's hard not to go running when she calls."
"I know baby, I know." Jade said gently and kissed Leah's forehead. They cuddled for a while. Then Jade decided to lighten the mood. "Wanna go out for dinner? "
Leah smiled her eyes sparkling when she said. "I'd rather stay in." Then she leaned up and kissed Jade on the lips. Jade knew exactly what that look meant. She smiled into the kiss then parted her lips as she felt Leah's tongue lightly touch her top lips seeking entrance. Leah pushed her tongue eagerly into Jade's warm mouth and let herself melt against Jade when she tightened her arms around her. They lost themselves in the kiss for several long moments, nothing else existed to them but each other. Then Leah suddenly found herself on top of Jade as her girlfriend laid back on the bed. She moaned into the kiss as sexual tension thicken the air and she ran her finger's threw Jade's silky hair. It had been days since the last time they made love, Leah hadn't been in the mood. So now both were desperately hungry for the other.
They frantically snatched at each others clothes trying to undress in record time. They both craved the skin to skin contact, the warmth and softness. It didn't take them long to become as naked as the day they were born still kissing all the while. The smell of there arousal filled the air mixing into a sweet heady, intoxicating aroma of female sex. Leah finally broke their kiss and worked her way down Jade's neck where she kissed, sucked and nibbled. Soft moans came from both women as they claimed each other's body with their mouth and hands.
Jade maneuvered them so that their pussies were pressed firmly together. Then she reached down and spread their lips so their clits could rub against each other. Leah moaned feeling the silky flesh of her girlfriends warm wet pussy against her. Leah started moving her hips rubbing their pussies together creating a friction that shot through thier bodies like electricity. Jade waited a moment to catch the rhythm then started pushing back against the beautiful women on top of her. Their moans, the sound of the bed creaking and the sound of wet flesh coming together filled the air. Jade's nails racked down Leah's back delivering delicious nips of pain. Their wetness mixed together and ran down Jade's thighs and ass wetting the sheets under them. They made love hard and fast trying to desperately to bring the other off.
"Oh fuck!" Jade screamed as tightened her legs around Leah's waist.
"Mmmm! YES!" Leah moaned out and sped up as she got closer to her orgasm. Jade could feel how hard Leah's clit was. She was so close to cumming but fought it wanting this to last a little longer. "Cum with me sweetie!" She cried out.
Leah opened her eyes and looked down into Jade's. "Yes baby!" The head board banged against the wall as the intensity of their love making increased.
"Oh FUCK!" Jade screamed as she came hard and pulled Leah tight to her.
"SHIT BABY!" Leah cried out at the same time, her body trembling as her orgasm washed over her like a damn had broken.
The both laid their gasping for breath and sweating. They rolled onto their side as they calmed down. "You ok sweetie?" Jade asked still out of breath.
Leah smiled. "I'm great baby. How about you?"
"I'm great. I've missed you." She sighed.
"I could tell. I've missed you too." Leah pulled the the covers over them and she cuddled close to the love of her life. They kissed once more before falling asleep

Flames edge Oilers on Hudler's OT goalby Derek Van Diest
EDMONTON -- Calgary Flames center Jiri Hudler was battling a case of the flu and was questionable for the game against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
Hudler did not make the trip to Edmonton with the team, instead flying in on his own a few hours before the game. He went on to score at 3:14 of overtime to lift the Flames to a 2-1 win at Rexall Place.
"I didn't travel with the team [Friday] night because I felt a little sick and they didn't want me on the plane because it's going around, so we didn't want to get many guys exposed," Hudler said. "I got up [Saturday] morning and I talked to the trainers and we booked a flight after lunch."
Hudler found a bouncing puck at the side of the net and beat Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk to give the Flames the win. Calgary came within 10.1 seconds of winning in regulation, but Taylor Hall scored to deny goaltender Reto Berra his first NHL shutout.
Berra made 30 saves for the Flames (11-14-4), who moved three points up on the Oilers at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Dubnyk made 25 saves for the Oilers (10-19-2).
"I was very, very impressed with our team," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "We battled for 60-plus minutes. Even when they got the tying goal, I could feel the disappointment on the bench, but I told them, 'We played so good, just keep going.'
"Jiri deserves lots of credit. He was sick, he left the game [Friday] night and went home sick. He was sick all night and flew in [Saturday] afternoon and it was a gutsy effort. I'm very proud of our boys."
Lee Stempniak scored the opening goal of the game at 16:00 of the first period.
It appeared as the goal would stand up as the winner before Hall scored late, getting the puck alone at the side of the net following a scramble in front.
"I'm really happy that we got the win," Berra said. "It was really close and right after the [tying] goal you're frustrated, especially as the goalie. But you have no time to think about that or to be frustrated, the next shot is the most important. I'm happy because I think I did well. They had two or three good chances in OT. I felt I was good on the puck and square and it was a good feeling for the whole team that we won this one."
Berra has split the goaltending duties with Karri Ramo this season. He went Saturday with 11 games of NHL experience.
"He was more under control," Hartley said. "It's pretty cold here, so there was no place to swim. He was on his skates, he was solid, he saw every puck. He used his size. He has to trust his size. He has quite a gift, he's a big-sized goalie and he put on quite a performance."
Playing the second of back-to-back games, the Flames took the lead with a play that started in their own end. Matt Stajan outbattled David Perron just inside the blue line, then beat Andrew Ference to the puck and tipped it to Stempniak, allowing him to go in unmolested on Dubnyk.
"We didn't want to open up against all that offensive talent that they have," Hartley said. "We just wanted to make sure that we played good in our zone and hopefully, some chances would come. Stempniak gave us a big goal in the first and I felt we came very close to playing a perfect game."
The Oilers had a couple of chances to tie the game late in the first period on the power play. Jordan Eberle fired a shot off the crossbar before Perron hit the post with six seconds left.
In the second period, Oilers defenseman Jeff Petry was forced to leave the contest after being sandwiched along the boards by Flames forwards Sven Baertschi and David Jones. Petry slammed his head into the glass on the play. He left the game with a head injury and did not return.
"Losing him, that is a loss," Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "I know we just had him out of the lineup, but I thought he was playing fine and was off to a good start in the game. That didn't look good on the replay. I haven't had a chance to check up on him yet, but I am not expecting great news."
Neither team generated many chances in the period, although the Oilers came close in the last minute.
Ales Hemsky tipped a Ference point shot that Berra was able to smother. Perron managed to get a shot off as time was winding down following a faceoff, forcing Berra to make another good save.
In the third, the Flames managed to keep things tight defensively until Hall found himself alone after the Oilers pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker.
"It was not the best effort from us," Hall said. "It was nice to score that goal late. It was a huge rush and a boost for the team to send it into overtime. They got a bounce in overtime and put it in. They played their system well and it seemed like they were just waiting for us to turn over pucks and unfortunately we kept doing that. We have to be better at managing the puck and not playing into their hands the whole night."
Edmonton continues its five-game homestand Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Flames host the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

I have lived every day of my life
Thinking only of what I should think
When I read back at everything
That I have written
On how I lived my life
And in the process of doing so
I have missed the chance to feel alive.
Just to stay an observer of an impartial observer.
– Every Time I Die, "Turtles All the Way Down"
I'm not going to mince words, the WoW blogging community has been having a sort of tumbling, somewhat-related discussion about women* and their experiences with gaming in Warcraft for the past week or so. Usually when varied opinions on sexism and women in a male-dominated space shake loose, that's when the huffy nerd feelings come crawling out of the woodwork to tell them how wrong they are. This time though, instead of men, it was women.
And not only was it confusion about where all the sexism was, it was deeply "controversial"** opinions about feminists and their ilk (TW: discussion about rape in the comments). I found it deeply upsetting, honestly, not just from the perspective that it was my life's work and blog focus being mocked and derided, but the fact that these things were coming out after significant posts about people's experiences had been expressed (including my own.) It shocks me when people tend to shrug off things that don't directly happen to them. It hurts when it comes horizontally from other women, those people we know have probably felt the lash and sting of the same things at some point in their lives.
I'm not going to get into a passionate defense of feminism right now, not here at least. Anyone who's read me long enough knows how I feel on the subject, knows who I am, knows what my brand of feminism is like. It is unrelenting, capable of love and definitely full of anger. Take it or leave it.
Effy's posts are the ones I fixated most of my complex, snuffly-nosed emotional feelings onto because they stood to be the most personally insulting. It was tied to me, whether she wanted it to or not, and it felt like a slap in the face. After the annoyance subsided, I realized that all that was left was disappointment. I knew where she was coming from and I was saddened that that is where she stood, especially being so close in age with me. It rang like words from a younger woman; that woman being me.
I know that it is the common belief that feminists spring fully-formed from the heads of society; we're clad with a book on Judith Butler in one hand and a picture of Gloria Steinem in the other. This is not the case, gentle readers. Women in the geekier spheres of society (read: male-dominated hobbies) that come into feminism tend to follow a very similar method of growth –
- We start our unsure of ourselves, very often because we like things others don't, and don't present as especially "feminine"
- Rise to a special position, "one of the boys" and well-liked for our sexual or geeky value
- Quickly look to eradicate sources of opposition (other women)
- Realize that being vociferous defenders of the status quo doesn't buy us but a temporary reprieve from neckbeards
- Fall from grace, realize it was all a sham
- Find strength in other women who've been through the same thing.
Okay so maybe that's an oversimplification of things, and I'm sure more than a couple of you can disagree that that's how it happened for you, but I've spoken with enough women in the various nerd places I've hung out to see a trend emerging about when they precisely got into stamping out sexism in geek culture. It's how it happened to me. I used to be that woman that was special and cute, an alpha female who was loved and beloved. I said horrific things about other women despite having women friends. But it was pretty terrible because in a lot of ways, the trust wasn't there. So in that respect, the posts I saw around the blogging community rang true in a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey way. That's who I used to be, they said back to me. I started to grow out of it when I realized that my female friends had my back in ways that men didn't; they'd be the ones that could accurately describe the terror, the disgrace that came from various problems that face young women these days, I don't need to elaborate it for you. They didn't make me feel like I only had a value in my looks or acting a certain way. We could curl up together, drinking wine and eating crab rangoon and watching Law and Order: SVU until we got too scared to turn off the lights. As I moved away from college and into the online world, feminism slowly crept into my life. I remember having a discussion with Dysmorphia about this and she described it as "taking the red pill" (oh ho, geek feminists and our pop culture references still make me giggle, but it was still apt) – that moment when you woke up to how the world really is, and that it was largely unfriendly to you solely by the virtue of being a woman.
I know how scary realizing that can be. I know that this is why a lot of women still hold tightly onto the internalized sexism or misogyny they have. I'm pretty sure this is what inspired a lot of the really shitty things I had to read on Twitter and blogs this week. You don't want to believe that the men in your life have the potential (notice I said potential) to be shitty to you with little consequences socially. You don't want to believe that you can trust other women. You're still working from a place that hurts really deep inside, from a world that tells you that you're wrong and others like you are wrong. You force it down so deeply that it turns into hate for femininity and women, but it really is hate for yourself. It's why you can't talk to women; they are confusing and emotional and you're clearly neither of those things. You're accepted and loved by the men of the world. You love the things they are into.
And it's okay to be that way, but it's not because men say it is. That's why I've so embraced feminism – it has allowed me to be whatever woman I want to be on the path to letting everyone be those things too. I know that feminism can seem to be full of anger, because it is. Anger is productive. There's a lot of justifiable reasons to be angry. It comes from being treated like less for so long. It's trying to tear down the structures that have crushed us under its heel in our every day lives. It doesn't affect just us women, but men too, but we need to take care of ourselves first. Men are OP, but instead of "nerfing" them into oblivion, we need to get rid of the whole dang system in the first place so we can all see eachother as how we are meant to be.
I spent most of the last week just circling around making angry noises, unable to really speak or feel positive about much of anything. I had a long talk yesterday with the inimitable Cynwise because I was having problems really framing my emotions and in the middle of it I had a flash of lightning run through the middle of my brain. How am I supposed to explain what feminism means to me, especially when so many people in the WoW community seem to have really false ideas about it? The answer was so simple.
(1:46:35 PM) Apple Cider!: Oh yeah trust me, some of my best feminist friends are all video gamers
(1:46:41 PM) Apple Cider!: It's been an interesting …
(1:46:43 PM) Apple Cider!: huh
(1:46:48 PM) Apple Cider!: that just gave me a really good idea
(1:47:12 PM) Apple Cider!: thanks Cyn
One of the ways that I found my way out of the scary, dark forest that was getting into feminism was letting go of that old part of myself that didn't "really know how to talk to women" which as not just a woman myself, but also as a queer woman, was intensely problematic. I'm going to be blunt here; getting into World of Warcraft made me a better feminist. I joined a fairly progressive guild from the moment I stepped into WoW, one that had many different kinds of women in it. One that had women officers. There's no point in my WoW career that I haven't been surrounded by ladies in some shape or form. When that eventually lead me to joining a particular woman-based Livejournal community for the same reason, suddenly it was like the world and all of these delicious ideas and opinions came gushing out. Not only was I constantly being challenged about what the notion of a woman or a gamer meant, but it lead me to a discovery of so many more social justice issues than just combating sexism. I came more to terms with ableism and fat acceptance, and unpacked some of my white privilege with regards to racism as well. Now I've grown as a better person that respects others deeply, GMs a guild full of radical feminist women in a safe-ish space where they can play video games and not feel abused or scared or marginalized. (Maybe not as good as I could be but I'm getting there.)
There's not a day that goes by that doesn't look on everything I've accomplished – this blog, my guild, my wonderful circle of lady friends on Twitter and in-game and realize that it come out of my willingness to challenge my own ideas and self-perceptions and embrace something that truly is trying to shape the world. It's also made me better equipped to chose people (hint: men) in my life who stand beside me, rather than tolerate my presence because I'm sexy and a geek. I want to make the world better for them too. I want it to be better for everyone, and there's a lot of movements to try and do that. So when I hear that feminism is man-hating and full of bullies, it lashes at my deep inner self. This is the self that is the person behind the blog, behind the cute little gnome. The person who keeps a seperate Twitter to let off more of the "angry" steam at the world that tells everyone they are less than human compared to the majority. The person that a lot of people don't know beyond just this blog.
This person, me, I value video games. I value feminism. I value making people feel uncomfortable and pushing them to think about things. I do it because I want people to be able to enjoy their hobbies, their life and live it as they see fit, in a world that lets them exist and do so freely and without judgement. Do I think this is able to be accomplished in my lifetime? I'm not sure. I don't have all the answers. But we've seen in the last 100 years women move from pieces of property to being able to vote, own land, be their own citizens, so maybe at the end of my life we will see even more. Right now is a scary place to be, even for us enlightened 21st century women, so I have to keep fighting. However, I couldn't do it without the wonderful women and feminists that I've met online and in real life and I think that everyone should know that.
Even if you don't agree with me, we're all in this together.
*Don't call discussion between women about their own culture "controversial," it's mega-stupid.
**It's not controversial to have societally-accepted opinions about other women being terrible.

This entry has been cross-posted from Brandon's Blogspot blog, My Feet Only Walk Forward, which is home to Brandon's general musings on life, the world and other matters.
Let's start this way: I have an amazing job with amazing people, especially my co-director Amber Hollibaugh and my Shelter Program Director Jay Toole. I've known them both for years and years before working with them and I love them both dearly.
Though I live with HIV, I am healthy. I am fed. My bills (except my student loans) are paid. I have an awesome roommate and a beautiful dog. My family loves the Hell out of me, and I have seven siblings that hold up their big brother always. I have friends/family/complicated definition folks in my life such as JT Mikulka, Bebe Zahara Benet, RJ Thompson, Roojie, Kamal Fizazi, Sam Matin, Di Sands, Jennifer Molina Balbuena de Hannon, Jason Ruiz, Coya Hope Artichoker, Anh Thu Pham, Betty Tisel and Sarah Farley, Susan Raffo and Rocki Simoes, Rigo and Nubia, my beautiful nieces and nephews, my godson Santiago aka Baby Rufus, Troll Baby and Rebs, Gracie, crazy ass and brilliant Ebony, my brother from another mother and father Carlitos Blanquitos, and so so so many others. I am so blessed and full up on love, and I KNOW that so many folks walking around this earth experience or believe that they have a love deficit. I don't. I NEVER have had. I have ALWAYS in every moment, in my deepest poverty, during the greatest violence, and in my fiercest hurt, and during my most self induced crazy, been held by so many with such compassion that if any one of them walked down to Hudson River park and commanded the River to split open, I wouldn't have been the least surprised. It would be nice though, if they do, if I could at least grab my good chancletas first.
We might be going to Jersey, but we don't have to LOOK like we live in Jersey.
My life changed this week. Only slightly. Only nominally. But it changed. After 10 years of being so very blessed. After 10 years of having my body, and all I've put it through, kick HIV's ass (I am one of those super rare and magical creatures called a nonprogressor ... not a super nonprogressor ... but a nonprogressor ... there is an important distinction that I am about to talk about), my amazing doctor, Steve Dillon at Gotham Medical, recommended that I start HAART treatment.
Nonprogressors go years, in my case a decade, without needing HIV meds. Supernonprogressors never need them. My body just got a little tired. It fought so hard for so so so long. From 25 to 35 it fought a war that it will win but now it needs just a little help. Just a bit.
Lets be real. For 10 years my body kept my HIV viral loads at or near undetectable ON ITS OWN. My T cells, are at "normie" levels. Near a thousand (and usually over....most normies aren't even that high).
And, to quote my girl, Lezbehonest ... the news that I have to start HAART treatment kicked my motherfuckingass.
I ain't dying. So far from it. I ain't sick. So far from it. I get to start a new state of the art med (Complera) particularly designed for folks like me that have a natural resistance to HIV. The side effects are almost non existent besides some initial fatigue and headaches. I AM SO FUCKING BLESSED.
And today, I broke the fuck down.
My walk with HIV is MY walk. And if I stop to compare it to other folks' journeys, I have nothing to complain about. But my feelings are real. My experience is real. My sadness and hurt is REAL. It's not cute. It's not easy. It's not a tragedy. It's not a crisis. But it is hard. It does hurt. And this transition and its incumbent feelings are all valid.
Thank you everyone who picked up the phone or sent a text today. I needed it. I needed you. I still need you. Thank you. I love you. And anyone else that walks this walk ... know that it's gonna be all right but it's gonna hurt when you take those first few steps ... whether it's a week after your diagnosis or after a decade.
Imma love and live well. So will you.

The official video of the QAM flash mob leading up to Queer Azaadi Mumbai. So excited for my friends like Sukhdeep of Gaylaxy Magazine who are there for the march today. I know Sukhdeep endured a long journey in an un-airconditioned train to get there but I also know he already has his sign painted. What a great day for India.
Love the chant "I am Gay, that's okay."

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
Best Price Policy
Some of our plans are also available on other websites and in printed catalogs. We are committed to selling these plans at or below the lowest price available elsewhere. If you find a regularly priced plan (not "on-sale") for a lower price, we'll beat the advertised price by 5%. We will match the price for any on-sale plans.
Once our staff is able to verify that the same plan is offered at a lower published price, Houseplans will offer the plan for sale at the lower published price less 5%. Our discount is available for immediate plan purchase only. Please call us at 1-800-913-2350.
The advertised item must be the same plan as the product being purchased, including set type (5-copy, 8-copy, Reproducible, or CAD Set), foundation options, and any miscellaneous details. Advertised prices must be in the same currency that the original product was purchased in. Our Price Guarantee does not apply to advertising errors or misprints, special prices, restricted offers, mail order offers, rebates, coupons, premiums, free or bonus offers, OEM products, limited or minimum quantity or limited time offers, close-outs, liquidations, clearances, and special financing offers.
Full sets of plans only, such as PDF, 5-copy, 8-copy, Reproducible, or CAD, are eligible for this offer. 1-copy Sets, Study Sets, Additional Sets, Materials Lists are not eligible for this offer.

Last summer, rapper Juicy J announced via Twitter that he was going to award "...a 50K scholarship to the best chick that can twerk." Despite the huge response from fans, Juicy insists that twerking was not an actual requirement to win. "50K is a lot of money and I don't want to waste it on some chick twerkin' her ass," he says. "Next time I send a Tweet out about a scholarship take it serious and read the words!"
He awarded the money to Zaire Holmes, a 19-year-old biology student at the State College of Florida who did read all of the rules and explained in a video (which she did not twerk in) explaining why she deserved the money. "A lot of people thought you had to twerk, but you actually had to read the rules," explains Holmes.

(Based on a segment from the Japanese TV show Game Center CX)
Many books provide life advice: the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and so on. Well, I put it to you that gaming manuals also contain wisdom for the aspirant! The panelists will read lines from various gaming manuals (both computer games and table-top RPGs) and explain how these passages can help the audience lead better, more productive lives, allowing them to "one up."
(Hopefully it's obvious this would be a tongue-in-cheek experience to provide amusement.)

The Old Fashioned – Embury's Version
I whipped up an Embury Old Fashioned on Monday evening. Despite the variables in the recipe the drink turned out to be very good. I chose to go with the following quantities:
Embury's Old Fashioned:
2 oz Eagle Rare Bourbon 1 tsp Simple Syrup 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters Twist of Lemon
Embury got this one right. Unlike his other recipes I don't have to change this recipe much to make the cocktail I'm looking for. I like my Old Fashioned slightly sweeter, but not too much. Also, I like the amount of bitters in this recipe, but I really like the flavors that the Fee Brother's bitters add, so I'm thinking a mix may be in order. Finally, the lemon twist isn't adding much other than a nice bright color. After watching Robert Hess' great video on the topic I agree that an orange twist would compliment the sweet flavors in this cocktail better than lemon. Given these considerations, here is the Old Fashioned that I made Tuesday night.
Reese's Old Fashioned (Attempt 1):
2 oz Eagle Rare Bourbon 3 tsp Simple Syrup 1 Dash Angostura Bitters 1 Dash Fee Brother's Bitters Twist of Orange
Hmmm…still not quite there. This recipe was a little sweeter than I like. Probably decrease the syrup to 2 tsp. Also, as you can see in the picture I've started using my Tovolo Perfect Cube ice cube trays. I'm using filtered water to make the ice, but I'm still getting some cloudiness. Look for more on my quest for perfect ice in the coming weeks.

Donovan, Keane shine as Galaxy crush Union
Chester, PA – The Los Angeles Galaxy put the brakes on a two-game losing streak in style on Wednesday, posting a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park.
The Galaxy entered the match coming off a less-than-stellar 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps, but the Los Angeles dynamic duo of Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane both had break-out games for the two-time defending champs.
Donovan scored and added two assists, while Keane returned to the starting 11 after missing six of the team's previous seven matches and added a goal and an assist. Hector Jimenez also scored for Los Angeles.
The visitors got off to a great start after Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath was unable to handle a corner kick in the box from Donovan and the ball bounced off his hands and into the net to make it 1-0 just three minutes in.
Philadelphia found an equalizer in the 23rd minute when Union right back Sheanon Williams fired a long throw-in into the box and Amobi Okugo rushed in unmarked to nod it home.
The clubs went into the locker room level, but the Galaxy seized control in the second half.
Los Angeles finally took the lead in the 71st minute with some brilliant combination play between Donovan and Keane as Donovan's cutting ball put Keane behind the Philadelphia back line and the Irish international easily beat MacMath to make it 2-1.
Nine minutes later, the Galaxy made it 3-1 when Donovan sent a nice ball over to Jimenez, who found a pocket of space on the right side of the box and fired it low to the far post.
Donovan added a goal three minutes from time to seal it for Los Angeles, which improved to 17 points on the season and will travel to Red Bull Arena to face New York on Sunday.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, remains on 15 points and will need to put this result behind them quickly as the club hosts Chicago on Saturday.

Some quick updates on what some of us in the AXP camp are up to. Matt is, as you read this, getting ready to take the stage at West Texas A&M University in Amarillo for another debate. Here's the flyer thingamajig.
No, we don't have any idea about their plans to record the debate, or post it online. Yes, we'll embed it here the instant we find out such a thing exists.
In other news, yours truly (that would be me) just bought his plane ticket to Washington, so expect to see me at the Reason Rally in a month. I'll be easy to spot, in that of all the godless hordes attending, I'll be the only one who's Martin Wagner. I don't know about any plans from anyone else yet. As we get closer to the day, I'll work out arrangements for an Atheist Experience meet up, perhaps the Friday night before. Maybe some of you who are attending and know DC a bit better than I do can think of some worthwhile places to hold one. Part of me is hoping that I step off the plane into the devastation of the Capital Wasteland, dodging super-mutants while Galaxy News Radio spins oldies over my ear buds. But I suspect the worst I'll run into will be some dippy sidewalk evangelists.
