To those who suffer seasonal affective disorder I recommend a simple sunrise simulator, a regular bed time and a dark room.
The clock slowly powers an incandescent full spectrum bulb to simulate a sunrise at any hour of the day during any season.
Your skin is an organ sensitive to light which aids your rising and sleeping by regulating certain processes in your body.
Properly waking up is the best preparation to falling asleep. Most the time now I wake up before my alarm goes off.
Ohh and this one here was taken over seas in the middle of hell in 1942 in the humidity, would steal your breath that was my boatswainsmate ole Johnny Magee he was a high school teacher from new Orleans and he had my back right through the day we left.
If it looks like we were scared to death like a couple of kids just trying to save each other you should've seen it in color.
A picture's worth a thousand words but you cant see what those shades of gray keep covered you should've seen it in color

If you travel regularly, the Airport lost and found also are a good place if you can make it through the bureaucracy.
Only drawback is that you have to sign and show ID to "claim it back." Only once I had to show I was in the city the week it was found.
Will also get you umbrellas in Seattle if you stay unspecific enough - black, popup, with a silver handle.
Items not claimed at airports are often auctioned locally.
Americas Army v 1.2 in 2002 and really v1.6 march 0f 2003 really demonstrated the difference between cover and concealment.
Cover is useless without tactics to advance, defend, or tactical retreat using said cover.
@pmbaustin:
GM had a division, DirectTV which carries PPV.
New Frontier Media, INC (NOOF) is one of the leaders in streaming this stuff to hotels and other establishments and homes. They own several PPV channels through TEN Networks. The fact they were not called out in the graphic is a huge oversight. NOOF is the one that hotels go to.
Some say adult ppv is going to reach $1.4 billion in 2014.
Here are more statistics that are a bit dated

@Vulcan Has No Moon:
I'm a factual minded person.
You've read much into my statements not explicitly stated.
You presume to know my history & governmental system and jump to inaccurate conclusions.
I want _all persons accused of abusing children (physical,mental,sexual) and / or permitting it, identified and fairly & properly brought to court_.
I never said there are not guilty parties. I posed the question "who is more guilty?"
Perhaps you don't know what your accusing the catholics of happens elsewhere and in other institutions. And there are those who can't get justice because of those coverups.
If you or someone you know were done wrong by the church I hope they or you get justice.
Some still wait for justice and don't have such a target like the church to sue, because Government declares sovereign immunity, for the acts of long dead employees & bureaucrats who did or permitted done the exact same things.
You haven't provided an accurate primary documentation for any of your statements. Especially your 1st; "Nuns = Evil. Sh*t, it's estimated they killed half the orphans misfortunate enough to land in their orphanages in Canada."
There is much FUD and using hyperbole on the abuse subject does those and other victims of abuse no good.
I was attempting to be fair and not trying to be accusatory but rather to be precise in the facts and figures and when directing accusations.
I choose to end the conversation now since this dialog exceeds this post and to spare you the emotional pain which comes through your comments.
@JM23: The crush test is for when the burning upper floor and/or roof comes crashing down upon your desk which then collapses upon your backup solution.
Or
When you think your safe on the third story and the bottom two floors collapse from fire leaving nothing but gravity to work its wonders on your backup solution in between the former third story and the ground.
But to be critical its not the thinkpad keyboard but the new chic-let style of the U series that makes me want to run away
Wow, I wonder if you could just always run vnc on the Win7 and login via the linux client built into the tablet side full screen when undocked or when docked that would be really cool.
The screen is potentially a self contained thin client to the base. Undocking could be seamless.
Hopefully a multi-touch/pen could be worked out. Then I would be sold.
Crap, I just saved enough for a K-20 with nice DA* glass.
Samsung worked with Pentax for their last sensor also released the GX-20.
I wonder if Pentax is coming out with a ruggedized twin sister of this ala the Kx lines of late.
If the NX sensor is APS-C then the kmount could work with adaptor for focal length correction of the missing mirror box?
M42 was intro'd 1949, 26 years later K mount was intro'd 1975, now 35 years later is DA* quasi micro 4/3 the thing?
@Vulcan Has No Moon:
Nuns = females, Priests = males.
Your original topic was "_evil nuns_."
Please at least stick to your own statements and have supporting documents which focus on "_evil nuns_."
Your now much closer to primary sources but still haven't hit any real ones that aren't sensational.
How about researching Madgalene Asylum, run by what can be said "_evil Nuns_".
While your "evil nuns" do exist - I do not deny that, so also do "evil head masters" and other secular professionals that for some reason are not singled out for such scrutiny. And this was my point.
The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse also pointed to British/Irish Government Agencies also not being spotless and in deep error for lack of oversight of its responsibility to safeguard the state's wards and charges.
So who is most guilty? The one who did physically did the molestation or "gave over" the care and rearing of a child to an organization that responded to over sight of that responsibility by simply saying "trust us."
You,I, The government can delegate authority but not responsibility.
"Oversight was the duty of the British administration in Ireland, and then by the Irish Department of Education since 1922."
Ultimately it is the those in Government who vetted the "evil_XYZ" who took care for these children.
It was Government, and it is those whom should be held 100% responsible for the foundational issues which lead to the debacle.
This was the same Government that legislated the "Reformatory schools for younger criminals from 1858, and Industrial schools for destitute and/or orphaned children from 1868" and Children Act 1908. These were in response to real and actual tragedies in society but also generated the institutions which later would cause other harm to children
Government investigations and trials could have stopped the problem well before hand. Government went with the lowest bidder. Government accepted "trust us" as an answer. Government could have raided, jailed, etc at any time - they have guns - mostly when under British Rule.
Explain to these victims that the Government turned a blind eye for many decades to inspecting and seeing these institutions for what they were.
This ought to be more scandalous. As this is the same Government also supposedly responsible for Medical, Agricultural, Economic, and Military oversight.
What else did the Government turn blind eyes toward? I've yet to see a real apology from the Government on this.
The Catholics are a bit more honest in admitting their problems now a days than Government.
I'm not for any or against any particular agenda but want _all_ the guilty to be identified.
Why did Lenovo equip The T410 with optional touchscreen? Thats a throwback to 1980 unless its a misprint that ought to read multi-touch screen.
Still looking for a reboot of the PC110 or 701 design to come out. I was not happy with the S10 or U110 keyboards.
IBM used to dare to dream with the PC110, 701, transnote, or tablets.
Lenovo is not willing to take really big risks on design it ought to do.
They could make a better cube than the Mac Cube.
@Vulcan Has No Moon: Those are the most slanted and worst written links I've ever read.
Poorest journalism ever.
You can not figure out who is doing what to whome. The Amnesty Intl the writer shifts persons and groups without warning and lumps everyone together (euro/american vs native american).
From what I gather your saying is the Most Evil US & Canadian & Western European governments in 1800's are the true root of the issue of abuse.
The governments gave care of children to the lowest bidder (free) who happened to be Christian organizations and who didn't appear to make any profit from the outsource of medical and schooling care for orphans or children of the poor.
Abuses occurred by both government and religious groups. BIA cited as a major "permitter" of the abuse by Amnesty is US Government. Canadian Government also was cited as legislating a mandatory sterilization program for Native American Girls.
Really the journalists have to break it down by a spreadsheet or something to be fair and accurate.
The MSNBC is an AP story just as poorly written. There was really a need to reform in the 1800-20th. Again the secular Governments left it upon the Christian organizations to take care of any undesired orphans. Else really orphans would have no social standing and would starve to death and often did and that's was fact of that era.
Re-reading Oliver Twist and Les Miserables about Cosette, or how Salvation Army came about, or Dr. David Livingstone and his impact upon Africa and is a good start for journalists reporting on these scandals.
