order lasix online uk We have had some crazy low water around here lately. It was so low, at one point, you couldn't even make it through some rapids because they were just rock gardens. The low water makes for some boring play, but luckily for us, we have some fun little boards that are great for playing even in flat water. These boards are so squirly that you feel like you are learning to balance all over again. Luke designed these little guys and while they are not being sold yet, I have a feeling it won't be too much longer!
buy inderal la online Sunday evening, the water came up enough for us to play a little at McCoy Falls. This little park and play spot has been the go to location for anyone who paddles in the Blacksburg area. There isn't much else around, unless there is big rain and then most paddlers head to the creeks. McCoy Falls is a great learning spot for kayaking and SUP because there is opportunity to practice surfing, ferrying, sticking drops, and attainments. We put on the river not long before dusk and played for a bit. Night came super fast, and since my eyesight is horrible, I could see nothing. It was frustrating not seeing the rocks below the surface, waiting for my fins to brush over them just enough to slow me down and throw off my balance… not like that happened… ever.
Luke was so excited to be out there at night because he was finally able to try out the Nocqua lighting system on the boards. The lights are battery powered and strap on the bottom of the board. You can set it to one color, or let it move through the rainbow of colors. The night session did not last long because the babysitter's time was up by nine and we had to rush home, but even two hours of play is better than no play!

Gabourey Sidibe Wants to Lose Weight
The Precious star Gabourey Sidibe thinks of going on a diet to lose the excess pounds that led her to the Red Carpet. Her mother Alice Tan Ridley has recently revealed that her daughter really wants to be slim. But will that keep her in the saddle of TV industry.
Alice said:
"The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy."
She also admitted:
"As her mum I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn't lose weight that's not a problem either – it runs in our family. We have relatives that are 80 who are too heavy so it works in different ways for different folks."
It's nice when your close people believe in you no matter what you are. So does the mother of Gabourey who is sure her daughter is to have a ling acting career.
She added to RadarOnline.com:
"I'm proud of my daughter no matter what and the truth is that there are all kinds of acting roles for all sorts of people."
Recently, it has been reported that Gabourey is being lined up for weight loss reality show 'Celebrity Fit Club', but Alice insists the star has not been approached.
She commented:
"I have not heard anything about her appearing on 'Celebrity Fit Club' or any of these dieting companies getting Gabby to try and endorse their products."
Anyway, the time will come when we admire the slender Gabourey Sidibe!

The President told the Ohio State University graduating class of 2013: "You'll hear voices telling you that 'the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,' and that 'all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,' or maybe that 'when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.' These voices that you hear, hallucinate maybe, might even tell you that these voices have 'sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.' You should reject these voices. Because they aren't real. CPS should have abducted you as a child and given you six psychotropic drugs and murdered you because that's what they do, CPS takes kids and murders them. Because you're hearing voices. Yours is a generation possessed, but not by demons or the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, because we have thrown aside all those notions with the adoption of communism, which says that when you die you rot and if you're hearing voices you're insane and need deadly drugs that are a hundred times worse than the condition they are supposed to treat. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. Barack Hussein Obama, mmm mmm mmm! I won the Nobel Peace Prize and I didn't do shit! We should have more government, because it's not what you can do for your country, it's what welfare you can get from your neighbors who are working hard for little pay. We should have a civilian Brownshirt army as powerful as, if nor more powerful than, our United States Army. The United States is bad. George W. Bush is the reason the Islamic world hates us, the United States stole most of its land from Mexico, and we need to ban guns because 'no one needs ten bullets to kill a deer,' because, hey, the Second Amendment is about hunting, not about defending your liberty from a tyrannical government. The founders certainly didn't use guns to defend their liberty from a tyrannical government, starting a new nation, and 'that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.' Nope. Never happened. We are one nation under government, because 'we are all socialists now.' Benghazi? Totally not an inside job. We didn't have multiple warnings, we weren't watching the events unfold via drones, we didn't give any troops a stand down order, we didn't blame the event on a video no one watched, and we certainly didn't track down the man who made said video and make him disappear in a plot to silence all opposition to our New World Order power grabbing scheme. Those new testimonies that just came out in the hearings on Benghazi? You should totally ignore them, because they are part of the 'vast right-wing conspiracy', as my friend Hilldog likes to call it, because she is certainly not a traitor for condemning four Americans to be raped and tortured to death in Benghazi. 'What difference does it make' if Hillary sent four Americans to their death and then lied about it? 'What difference does it make?' So, yeah, you shouldn't listen to those voices that you hallucinate, because they aren't real. The government is your God now. Obama's in his Washington, all's right with the world."
This is the short version of the speech, with all the dead air and stumbling over words omitted. Here is a bit of the unedited transcript: "You'll uuh... uuuuuuhhhhh... hear uuhh... voices telling um, a bunch... you that 'the uuhhhh... tree of um liberty must uuuuhhhhh... uuhhhhh... uuhhh... be uuhhh... refreshed from uuhhhh... time to um time with the um blood of um patriots uuhhhhhh..... and uhhhhh....tyrants,'" because we all know that he is the great communicator. He is articulate and clean.

Thanks Steve... now which of the buttons do you suggest need blurring. p.s. me'missus & I agree that the mute are the ones that get the most wear.
Not the buttons, just the black/gray body faces of the remotes, to the edges of the buttons. Buttons are A-OK.
OK, your suggestion made me smile, and gave me the idea that some of the buttons could get more wear... and i took it from there. Here's the source "pro" image Netflix remote - you'll see the body is shiney plastic whereas the buttons are dulled rubber. Cheers.

State Sen. Phil Berger has some simple advice for Democrats who don't like the redistricting of the state legislature: Become Republicans.
Responding to complaints that the new districts aren't competitive, Berger, the Senate's Republican leader, said if the other party wants to win elections, "You're going to have to bring back the traditional North Carolina Democrat."
By that, he explained, he means pro-business, pro-gun Democrats. In fact, Bernie Sanders supporters and socialists are fairly rare among the current crop of state Democrats.
Perhaps he means "traditional" Democrats like the late U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake, both of whom switched over to the GOP in the Nixon era. But those gentlemen were both vocal opponents of desegregation, which might not sit well with African Americans.
Berger, in fact, is being disingenuous. The fact is, through the miracles of computer-generated mapping, Republicans came up with districts that almost guarantee the re-election of most incumbent Honorables.
One analysis by the Raleigh News & Observer found that just 10 of the 50 state Senate seats and just 19 of the 120 House seats would be competitive in any meaningful sense.
This took some creativity. As our journalistic cousins at the Fayetteville Observer noted, a peculiar, tumor-shape extension was added onto the 21st Senate district in Cumberland County.
Why? Well, it just happens to include the site of state Sen. Ben Clark's new house. Republicans apparently didn't want Clark, a Democrat, running against Republican Sen. Wesley Meredith over in District 21.
Such tricks will ensure a veto-proof Republican majority in both houses of the General Assembly for the foreseeable future.
It also ensures the policy discourse in our legislative branch will be essentially limited to debates between conservatives and a couple of far-right loonies who keep filing secession bills and the like.
One-party rule wasn't good for North Carolina in the 1950s and '60s, when petty corruption often reigned unchecked. And it won't be good for North Carolina now.
At this point, our last hope lies in the courts. Federal courts have hinted at extreme suspicion of the legislature's shenanigans, ruling against redistricting plans five separate times. Berger & Co. apparently hope that a new crop of Trump appointees will protect them, but with judges, you never know. The state Supreme Court may also weigh in.
The ultimate answer, as we've said before, is some non-partisan board or means, out of control of legislators, to map out districts. At the moment, though, we would settle for a system that's even slightly sort of fair.

All of those commands execute successfully, but nothing seems to make the onboard WiFi work -- GUI will say "No APs found-scanning" forever and I get the following from the commandline:

[email protected]:~ $ uname -a
Linux rpi02 4.1.20-v7+ #865 SMP Mon Mar 21 18:50:16 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
I tried to rule out an imcompatibility between the Pi3 and my wireless router's chipset, but I cannot get a single SSID to appear when using an Asus RT-AC3100, a Linksys E3000, a Linksys E4500, or a Linksys WRT1900ACS -- not to mention the 10 or so SSIDs floating around from neighbors' wireless networks (I've verified that I am using 2.4GHz channel 6, so it's not an issue of enabling channels 12 and 13 as has been a problem for many on the web). If I plug in a CanaKit WiFi dongle, it finds and will connect to my network right away. I am using a CanaKit 2.5A power supply and have verified that my WiFi country is set to US.
Code: Select all
[email protected]:~ $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
Up until a few days ago I'd not attempted to pair a Bluetooth device, but that doesn't work either. I'm able to pair my PC and a number of iOS devices to a Bluetooth keyboard that I have, but the Pi3 never sees it... it just scans away endlessly. Again, no error messages -- just doesn't find anything.
Assuming something is wrong with the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chip, I did the following:
Googling this, however, leads me to believe this is normal in that several people whose WiFi and Bluetooth are both working report seeing these messages as well.

I've not tinkered with Linux in a few years, and I am a Pi noob (I do have a wonderful Pi2 RetroPie setup though), but I have exhausted every suggestion that my endless searching has turned up. Is it possible to have a bad chip/radio/antenna, etc. but have no indication of same through OS errors/software messages other than it just not working?

If you're not watching the women's game, you're missing out on the most fascinating golf in the industry. Today's KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Olympia Fields in Illinois, just for instance, had it all going on, and the best part, watching on our television sets, was nobody among the contenders at the end came close to choking.
Danielle Kang, 24, three-putted No. 10, then made every putt she needed, including four straight birdies immediately after the 10th-hole bogey, a stud par save on 16, and a birdie on 18 to edge Brooke Henderson and make her first tournament title a major.
Henderson shot 66, her fourth round in the 60s in the tournament. She looks like a World No. 1 waiting to happen, and soon. She's 19 years old.
Sunday, Henderson and Kang showed off powerful long games and fearless short games, and they seem like good humans, too.
Henderson won the Women's PGA last year at Sahalee Country Club in suburban Seattle. The women's game will be back in the Northwestern precincts of Grey Goatee Nation only once this year — at the Cambia Portland Classic Aug. 31-Sept. 3 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Henderson is the two-time defending champion.
Speaking of Sahalee
We wrote this about Sahalee leading up to last year's KPMG, the third professional major played at the tight, tough and spectacular Sammamish, Wash., course. This week (July 5-7), it plays host to one of the Northwest's most prestigious amateur tournaments, the Sahalee Players Championship.
Tomorrow in this space: Veteran journalist Paul Ramsdell offers a preview of the 23rd Sahalee Players.

To Improve Your Blogging Skills
If you want to improve your blogging skills, the best plan is to write a lot. That sounds simplistic, but it is what you will hear from every expert on the topic. You cannot improve your blogging skills without improving your writing skills. And you probably won't attract much readership without excellent writing skills these days because you have so much competition for your readers' time.
But it's not just HOW you write that matters. Excellent writing is not the only key to attracting and keeping your reader's attention on your websites, blog posts, articles and comments. You have to know what they are looking for, too. As Vinita Zutshi posted this week:
"You need to know your readers' specific interests and the particular problems they face. People care about their problems. They care enough to look for solutions to their problems.
If your post can offer your readers the solutions and benefits that they are looking for, you will be able to make your audience care about what you are saying in your post.
Only when you give your audience a reason to care will they reward you by reading your post."
Attracting and keeping readers is just like attracting and keeping friends and business associates, basically. Showing that you care is the best way to develop an audience who cares about your content.
And here's a way to get into that caring space, posted by Richard M. Hartian on Copyblogger this week, "Feeling creatively blocked makes you cranky and anxious, as though the world and all its muses are conspiring against you. Instead of giving in to a 'poor me' attitude, write down all things you are grateful for."

You can spend up to three terms out of your mandatory nine working away from Cambridge if your need to use another library, research documents, etc. However, it is not advisable to leave in your first year and you must apply for permission well in advance. For more detailed information, see Applying to Work Away from Cambridge from the Board of Graduate studies (BoGS). Discuss it with your supervisor and tutor then fill in the application form, which can be dowloaded from CamSIS self-service:
Log in to CamSIS (Raven password required. What is CamSIS?)
If you need leave of absence for other reasons, including illness, maternity, family problems or training/fellowship elsewhere, you can apply for intermission for up to three full-time terms. After consulting your tutor and supervisor, you can obtain the form from CamSIS . If you intermit or work away from Cambridge, you will be exempt from the university composition fee (and often also the college fee) for each term of absence. However, funded students will usually also have to waive or hold over your research grant as well. Someone who wants to work away from Cambridge during their nine terms who has started after October 2010, now no longer has the option to waive fees.

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2015) - Today, mobile wireless technology company Spiral Toys (
The media campaign began on April 7th, and consists of 30-, 60- and 120-second commercials running on top-tier children's networks including Nickelodeon, The Cartoon Network, ABC Family and Disney XD, among others. The products will be sold over the phone and on the direct response site www.mycloudpets.com.
The campaign supports the official launch of the CloudPets toy line using a direct response retail approach. CloudPets was market tested last year through a direct response campaign that resulted in selling all 2,000 units almost instantly after the first ad ran on television. Spiral Toys Hong Kong has since increased the manufacturing capacity for this line and secured US distribution channels that will support a successful full-scale launch into the marketplace.
"Consumer demand for our original manufacturing run of CloudPets toys was overwhelming," said Spiral Toys president and CEO Mark Meyers. "With the launch of our overseas offices, we are primed to meet and exceed the present request and future orders to come. Spiral Toys is extremely well positioned for successful growth this year."
The current CloudPets direct response marketing campaign will run through the end of the year. CloudPets are expected to have widespread retail availability with an MSRP of $39.99 per unit. CloudPets will be released into mass retail in Q3 of 2015 supported by television and digital advertising. By the end of the year, more than 3,800 individual CloudPets commercials will have run on the nation's most popular children's networks reaching an audience of millions.
"We're proud of the technology and products we've created," said Meyers. "The increased sales of CloudPets we expect from this campaign are a key part of our growth and revenue strategy throughout 2015. Following the release of our CloudPets toys into mass retail we will be starting our digital content distribution to kids and families."
This advertising campaign is being funded by Spiral Toys' direct marketing partners and is part of our agreements with them whereby they fund certain aspects of the Spirals' marketing and advertising costs and provide working capital associated with CloudPets. In return, the marketing partners receive a portion of the retail sales revenues generated from the sale of the CloudPets product line. Consequently, there is no equity component to this and no resulting equity dilution to Spiral Toys or its shareholders. Spiral Toys collects revenue from 3 sources; manufacturing revenue, licensed royalties, and sale of digital content on Apple APP Store and Android Marketplace.

An updated version of this story is now available at MassLive.
WESTFIELD - Ward 2 City Councilor James E. Brown Jr. plans to withdraw a proposed zone change that will restrict future business development along Elm Street when the City Council meets tonight.
Brown said the request is being made in an effort to allow more study of the plan and ensure the city has the necessary tools in place to bring family friendly business and opportunities to the on-going redevelopment of the city's core district. That district extends from Big Y on Broad Street to Depot Square area at North Elm Street.
The council has a public hearing scheduled on the proposal during tonight's meeting. Brown said that hearing must be officially opened for public comment at which time he will ask to withdraw the proposal.
Brown, chairman of the council's Legislative and Ordinance Committee, said he plans to schedule meetings with the public and business committee before reintroducing proposed changes to core district zoning.
The initial proposal sould ban new nightclubs, pawn shops, smoking lounges, adult book and video stores, check cashing shops and tattoo anbd body piercing parlors.
The councilor said he is withdrawing the proposal now because of information he recently received indicating some measures, restricting some business development, already exist.

From Evangelion, a weekly Bulletin of Orthodox Christian faith that is made available to the Churches of the Archbishopric of Good Hope, the issue of 27 May 2012:
Does It Matter What We Believe?
We live in an era that tends to downplay the importance of religious dogma; people often speak about preferring "spirituality" to religion and insisting on the need for right belief is somehow seen as intolerant or judgmental of others. For the Orthodox Church, such attitudes pose a particular challenge. While we need to be tolerant of the beliefs of others, we cannot betray the truth of the Gospel to which our Fathers in the faith devoted their lives. Continue reading

The Republican-led House of Representatives will vote this week on repealing President Obama's health care reform legislation. But even if House members approve repeal (which seems likely), their Senate colleagues probably will not. And Mr. Obama would certainly veto the undoing of his signature domestic initiative if it actually reached his desk.
So why bother? Is the GOP really serious about repeal? Or is the vote just for show?
To a certain extent the repeal vote, indeed, is political theater. The Republican leadership is planning only a single day of debate on the subject prior to the roll call. They did not schedule committee hearings on the subject, which would have dragged out media and public attention to ending "Obamacare." It'll be a quick up-or-down, yes-or-no, and then let's move on to a subject Americans are more interested in: the economy.
In that sense, the vote may serve more as a symbolic break with the old Democratic House of Speaker Nancy Pelosi than an actual attempt at changing the law of the land.
"It is, of course, a campaign promise kept to the political right. It is also a signal from the Republican leadership that they plan to continue to use opposition to the health reform law as a rallying point for their political base," writes Drew Altman, president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, in an analysis of the meaning of the repeal effort.
There is certainly strong opposition to the Obama health-care reforms in America in general, and in the Republican Party in particular. But the strength and intensity of that opposition have actually diminished since the midterm elections, according to an Associated Press poll.
Overall, 41 percent of respondents oppose the health-care reform law, down from 47 percent last November. Currently, 40 percent support health-care reform, according to the AP survey findings.
But only about 25 percent of respondents said the law should actually be repealed. Among Republicans, support for repeal has dropped sharply, from 61 percent after the elections to 49 percent now, according to AP.
That said, there are House GOP lawmakers who insist that this week's repeal vote is not just a symbol.
Rep. Steve King (R) of Iowa, a strong voice in the repeal effort, says that he believes repeal could actually pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, because of pressure from the many lawmakers worried about their reelection chances in 2012.
"There's a tremendous amount of momentum here," said Representative King in a Fox News interview on Monday.
The GOP then would work to defund the health-care effort in appropriations bills, King said. A Republican victory in the 2012 White House race would then enable a new GOP chief executive to sign repeal as his or her first act in 2013.
"That's my scenario," said King.
Moving forward, House committees under the Republicans probably will work on developing replacement bills for certain parts of the Obama health-care reforms, such as the penalties for Americans who don't have health insurance.
Democrats, for their part, are likely to play defense by continuing to highlight aspects of the Obama reforms that are popular, such as insistence that insurers must cover those with preexisting health conditions.
"We need to keep our country moving forward, not go back," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.

Why You Should Unplug More Often
Let's face it.
Our world has already been dominated by technology. There's social media like Facebook, which keeps us connected with our family and friends. There's also job media like LinkedIn, which keeps us updated with our employers and clients. There are mobile games, which keep us entertained for hours; as well as video games, which keep us amused for weeks.
The only problem?
It now came to a point where most, if not all, of us can never imagine life without all these – eventually making us forget what's truly important.
Here's why you should unplug more often:
Unplugging helps us reconnect with ourselves.
Unplugging from technology, even for one day, already offers us a whole lot of benefits – not just when it comes to our physical health, but also with our mental health and emotional health. Simply put, it helps us reconnect with ourselves in ways that no Facebook wall can ever provide you. This includes getting you more active as you do various tasks in real life, getting you more productive as you think about positive things in real life, and getting you more compassionate as you feel what others feel in real life.
Unplugging helps us reconnect with nature.
It's not enough for us to just pop in two ascorbic acid capsules per day in order to stay healthy, especially for those practicing a digital lifestyle. We need to be exposed outside, so we can get a dose of fresh air after being stuck inside the house all day. We also need to be exposed outside, so we can get a dose of natural vitamins after being stuck inside the office all day. No matter where you are most of the time, you need to be exposed outside – not just to get a dose of fresh air or get a dose of natural vitamins, but also for you to be more aware of your surroundings.

The first AEROCEPTOR project workshop with the end-users (WS1) was held on 24 May 2013 in PIAP premises in Warsaw, Poland. The workshop was preceded by a Project Consortium meeting and combined with a first End User Advisory Board meeting.
The workshop was an occasion to present to the end-users the project objectives, the general work plan and status of the project activities, with a special focus on the system architecture, RPAS payloads and SSH as well as the project activities related to the legal and ethical issues.
The main aim of the workshop was gaining a valuable expertise from the end-users on the project objectives and activities carried on.
Additional result of the workshop was the dissemination impact, via presentation of the project both to the end-users (representing Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Poland, Romania and Spain) and other stakeholders, like representatives of the European Parliament or Polish National Contact Point.
The workshop was organised on the same day as the Night of Robots event, held in PIAP's premises on 24 May 2013, so the workshop participants were also given an opportunity to attend it. At the event, which gathered over five thousand visitors, the wide range of various robotic solutions (including ground vehicles, industrial robots and RPAS) was presented to the event attendants.

I think it's funny that some reviewers of Star Trek: Into Darkness are up in arms about J.J. Abrams' use of lens flares. I didn't even notice them the first time around, so I made sure to look for them during my second viewing of the film. They are mostly noticeable during shots of the bridge, and I like how they make the bridge feel bright, dynamic, and exciting.
Here's a video from DNews that explains how they're created:
Click here for a compilation of all the lens flares from the 2009 Star Trek film, via College Humor. It's like watching an 8-minute version of the film! Pretty cool, actually.
VERDICT: I'm in favor of the lens flares.

Just recently, I got a letter from Daniel Folmer, one of the addicted gamers featured in an article I linked last week. Here's the cut down version:
While I appreciate the press, it seems you overlook the real issue in the article and accurately depict the issue in your comments section.
How many MMORPGs have you played with dedication? With the easymode on WoW and the alternate life of EQ and EQ2, theres a niche for every person who needs a way out of reality.
Many types of addiction therapy don't use outside factors to try and sway the person, it lets them look inward and truly examine the effects of their habit on their life. Without any form of outside emphasis, a TRUE gamer (9 hours a day raiding every epic on the server every night) only has the input of his "friends" (guildmates, raiding buddies), who probably just push them further and further into the depths of the game. Best gear, best equipment, best player, these things take true dedication and make people believe they have actually achieved something other than a virtual item. Take the guy in beijing who stabbed his buddy who sold his online sword for 700 bucks, or the guy in minnesota who was mentally instable to begin with shooting himself in the face after his friend stole his ingame item? These people did not just "really like halo." They put their faith and happiness inside of an environment that did not really exist.
I wasn't really happy with my initial blog post; I think I skimmed over or neglected entirely to make some points that were sloshing around in my brain at the time. Let me attempt to elaborate now: while it would be foolish of me to contest that there are in fact numerous people who had an unhealthy addiction to video games that had a significant negative impact on their lives, I think it is false to infer from that that video games are addict__ive__.
That's what this news piece is attempting to do: create the sense that there is something intrinsically wrong with video games that makes them a harmful substance. All smokers are addicted to smoking because there is an addictive substance, nicotine, inside cigarette smoke. That certain people are indeed addicted to video games is a problem, but not with the thing itself. It's just another example of media hysteria, trying to create an epidemic where there is none by jumping on a hot-button topic.
But don't just take my word for it. Folmer linked me to the website of Nick Yee, a Stanford Ph.D. candidate, who elaborated on this:
Not everyone gets "addicted." If [addiction] were solely caused by aspects of the technology, then either everyone or no one would get addicted. ...
The emphasis on the media creates the illusion that the blame belongs to the media itself. It portrays the Internet as a predator that every person can fall prey to. But the more we look, the less this seems to be the case. Being addicted to one thing makes you more likely to be addicted to other things. People who are depressed are more likely to spend too much time online. People who are diagnosed as online gaming addicts typically have other problems - such as depression or low self-esteem. Recent studies show that one out of ten teenagers is depressed.
For a long time, we've known that people who are severely depressed may do harmful things to themselves, but whether we create a whole new set of "addictions" to explain it (and shift the blame from the person to the technology) [...] is very much a social decision that is tied to the paranoia and mindset of the world we live in. If [addiction] were really about the person rather than the technology, then taking away the technology alone won't solve the problem. And if the technology isn't really the problem, then why create a disorder that stigmatizes a technology and its users?
"Singling out only a few activities as potentially addictive seems disingenuous and arbitrary," Yee concludes. Bingo! People can be addicted to video games even if there is no such thing as "video game addiction." What drives people to repeat a behavior compulsively and destructively comes from within, not from without – otherwise, as Yee says, we'd all be addicted.

Tagged: Joe Paterson
Prospect Watch: Joe Paterson
By: Noah Frank
Most of our
Prospect Watch pieces focus on a player who has spent little or no time in
Fresno to this point in his career. But it seems a safe bet that 24-year-old
Joe Paterson will be a returning face to the Central Valley in 2011. Besides,
he's such a nice guy that we just couldn't help ourselves.
spent the 2010 season spent shuttling back and forth between Fresno and San
Jose, posting solid numbers in the former and excellent ones in the latter.
Largely used as a situational southpaw or LOOGY (lefty one-out guy), he
dominated lefty swingers, fanning 36 of the 112 that faced him. He also held
left-handers to a .216 batting average between the two levels. Overall he
finished 5-3 with three saves, a 3.03 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 65.1 innings
pitched, earning a trip to the Arizona Fall League.
arriving in Scottsdale, the congenial Oregonian made it look more like his
Single-A stomping grounds, holding opponents scoreless in nine of his 10
appearances. He struck out
at least one batter in every outing, compiling 17
against just four walks in 11.0 innings pitched. He continues to dominate
lefties, allowing just two hits while striking out 11 of the 21 left-handed
batters he faced.
Perhaps the
most encouraging number in that bunch– small sample size aside– is that he had
just a single walk through his first nine appearances. If there was a knock on
Paterson in the times he struggled with Fresno this past season, it was that he
issued too many free passes and dug himself into his own holes. He walked 24 in
54.1 innings with the Grizzlies (4.0 BB/9.0 IP) including five multi-walk
outings in his first 20 appearances. But he has fanned 50 while walking just 12
since then, in 40.1 innings between Fresno and Scottsdale.
Much like
fellow bullpen lefty Geno Espineli, Paterson steps well across his body with
his right plant foot as he delivers the ball, his throwing arm sweeping at a
flat angle out towards first base. This means he actually is releasing the ball
behind a left-handed hitter as he digs into the batter's box. That allows
Paterson to keep the hitter off-balance and set them up, bailing out on inside
fastballs, then chasing frisbee sliders that float off the plate outside. All
of that has led to a career record of 20-12 with a 2.63 ERA (67 ER/229.0 IP)
and a 9.8 K/9.0 IP rate.
It has been
said that if you can throw left-handed and have a pulse that there is a place
for you in baseball. Joe Paterson can do much more than just that, and is well
on his way to a spot in the Giants bullpen in the next couple of years. More
than likely, though, JoePa (as his teammates affectionately refer to him) will
begin the 2011 campaign with fellow Oregon State alum, College World Series Champion,
and future subject of Prospect Watch, Tyler Graham, right here in Fresno.

Legends Of The Fall
By: Noah Frank
The Arizona Fall League will wrap up this Saturday, as the Scottsdale Scorpions take on the Peoria Javelinas for the league title at 12pm PST on MLB Network. Most of the national media attention paid to the Scorpions when the roster was announced was to the Washington Nationals' uber-prospect, Bryce Harper. Now, if you know anything about the Giants prospects participating in the AFL, you may be asking yourself "Isn't Scottsdale the Giants' team?" The answer to that is simple: Yes, and no.
See, this is how the AFL works. The prospects from the 30 Major League teams are divided up into six, five-team squads. The Giants are grouped with the Colorado Rockies, Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Diamondbacks and, as mentioned before, the Nationals. San Francisco has a total of seven prospects on the roster, none of them with the same kind of branding as baseball's answer to LeBron James. But while Harper has certainly helped, living up to the hype so far (in a very small sample size), it has been the trio of Giants hitters that have keyed Scottsdale's run to the championship game.
Past features of our Prospect Watch series Charlie Culberson and Brandon Belt share the league lead in doubles (11) and triples (5), respectively, earning them some national attention. Meanwhile, Conor Gillaspie has had his best showing as a professional to date, batting over .300 while sharing the league lead in home runs (5). Belt's line, though, has been the most eye-catching so far at .372/.427/.616 (AVG, OBP, SLG), as he tries to put a cherry on top of his magnificent 2010 campaign with another championship.
The Giants have stocked the team with a few arms as well, lending 2009 Grizzly Dan Runzler and 2010 Grizzly Joe Paterson as well as lower level prospects Jason Stoffel and Ryan Verdugo (interestingly, all but Stoffel are southpaws). This is just the beginning of a whole new campaign for Runzler who, after making the Majors in '09, was injured this season and may now being groomed for a move into the starting rotation. With the starting five in San Francisco as stable as any in the Majors, it would not be a surprise to see Runzler begin 2011 back in Fresno as he adjusts to his new role. Paterson is likely to return as well, and Grizzlies fans may get a look at Verdugo, who struck out 94 batters in just 62.2 innings while going 8-1 with a 1.87 ERA this season between Augusta and San Jose.
While the AFL is a great way for Giants fans to get a sneak preview of the players that will end up in San Francisco in a couple years, it's an even better way to see those who will be in Fresno next year. So check out the game on MLB Network at noon on Saturday. It's your last chance to see some of this top talent until Grizzlies Opening Day on Thursday, April 7th, 2011.

An accident on the southern California coast has taken the life of a 29-year-old woman and sent two people to the hospital. The residents of the area near the accident stated that the spot where it occurred, an intersection in Oceanside, was known to be particularly dangerous. However, witnesses of the wreck said that the truck that caused the multi-vehicle collision was not driving in a safe or appropriate manner.
The accident happened on Dec. 7 at 9 a.m. A Ford F-150 was driving through the intersection where State Route 78 turns to Vista Way and crosses Moreno Street when he ran into the rear end of a Kia driven by the deceased woman. Some witnesses said that he was going nearly 100 miles per hour, that he went through a red light and that he did not attempt to brake before hitting the car. This pushed the Kia into a Toyota truck while the F-150 went on to strike a Chevy pickup and a picket fence.
A preliminary report issued by the California police indicates that the 62-year-old man behind the wheel of the truck was at fault for the accident. He broke his wrist, and the driver of the Chevy was bruised. They were both taken to the hospital for treatment.
Any family who has lost one of their members in a car crash on the roads of California may choose to file suit against the responsible party and demand compensation. An attorney's advice can be of benefit as they seek to file their civil suit and, if necessary, to prove their case to the court. However, it is also possible that the attorney may be able to negotiate with the defendant and convince them to settle the case out of court.

I got this for Christmas, I was so curious to see how it would come out and what result I would get so I thought I would share the result for you all to see incase you, like me were debating if they were worth the risk.
This is the result I got with them which I love, Its really quick todo and heats up so fast! For me there perfect waves :) Hope this helps anyone debating getting them.
And with the help of my new hair spray bumble and bumble which is the best one I've had yet, light, not sticky and leaves your hair the same as when you started just holding the style :) In my opinion better than L'oreal Elnett worth that little bit extra its about £20 but worth it. Held the waves all day and even the day after there still there :D

Aaryn Ellenberg drained a 3-pointer to start a 15-2 run in the second half that broke open a tight game and sent Oklahoma to its first win in Ames since 2008, pounding No. 20 Iowa State 75-54 Tuesday night.
The win avenged an overtime loss to the then 14th-ranked Cyclones Jan. 5 at Oklahoma.
Ellenberg drained four 3-pointers en route to 22 points and eight rebounds. She scored 10 in the breakaway run deep in the second half, and also guarded Iowa State's Jadda Buckley (who went off for a career-high 29 on Jan. 5), holding her scoreless.
Nicole Griffin scored 12 and Sharane Campbell 10 with nine rebounds for the Sooners (12-7, 3-3 Big 12). Oklahoma outscored Iowa State 36-22 in the paint.
The Cyclones (14-4, 3-4), who have lost their last four, were led by Nikki Moody's 18 points. Hallie Christofferson fouled out with 15 points.

Many of you here in Blogland will already be familiar with the wonderful Winter Moon and the lovely lady behind it, Yvonne.
For those who have not yet had the pleasure of making her blog's acquaintance, upon visiting it you will discover that Yvonne also has an Etsy shop, filled with delightful vintage treasures.
I recently made my first Winter Moon purchase after seeing these vintage French blood red glasses on the Winter Moon Facebook page and becoming instantly smitten:
Yvonne still has three other sets of these little darlings in her shop if you've fallen in love with them too.
As if receiving vintage French glassware in the mail wasn't exciting enough, Yvonne was also kind enough to include some gorgeous little surprises in my promptly-posted parcel:
After wrapping the glasses with care, each one in its own layer of red tissue paper and bubble wrap, Yvonne then popped two vintage Penguin book cover postcards inside Burton-esque bags:
Along with some teeny tiny poison bottles:
A letter 'R' for my first initial:
And a lovely thank you card:
Isn't she a sweetheart?
Thank you so much Yvonne! I look forward to more Winter Moon shopping in the not-too-distant future. ❤
