People most painfully hit by this new god switching *are* actually the veterans -- it breaks so many of their rules and builds, it's not even funny.
I noticed this. Of course, the veterans are also masochists who enjoy taking something and breaking it in the most horrifying ways.
One more thing - if this guy converts for a full heal and debuff removal then he's pretty much a goblin
Though there are marked similarities, they are quite different. Goblins can leverage their CP bonus throughout the dungeon to maintain momentum and keep their level high. However, for late-game spiking you need a lot of conversions to hit even a single extra threshold. The Diver cannot use his CP bonus to increase his level and fighting power (though he can use it to spike a high-level monster for bonus XP, this is a pale imitation of a goblin). However, for an end-game spike he can completely decimate the boss with back-to-back refreshes.
Similar to the schadenfreude versus crystal ball debate: the crystal ball gives you better long-term value, but multiple schadenfreude potions let you spike the boss with consecutive attacks. Different value.
GG - don't drink potions too much, don't drink blood, and kill stuff with glyphs if you have poison or lifesteal.
Don't use BLUDTUPOWA. Absolution is a trap due to the way food works.
Drac - Don't kill undead and get involved with boons at your own risk, apart from the lvl boon and resists.
Avoid using HALPMEH and CYDSTEPP.
Mystera - don't kill magic users and get mana burned. Grab the mana point, but don't go for refreshment.
Actually, refreshment would be quite good since you can bounce back into her religion later.
Binlor - Grab the endiswall if at all possible, you'll need it. Maybe
Ensure you keep a 35-piety buffer if Binlor is on the field; you need to purchase ENDISWAL to start making piety with him.
EM - Whatever you do don't kill plants.
She also hates lifesteal attacks, though sanguine is fine.
JJ - grab a health or mana boost and stick a finger in your ear and sing.
Health and mana if it's feasible. Otherwise: "lalalalalalalala"
(in fact mana burn arguably warrants a nerf to it, or a separation between mana drain and mana poison)
Totally in agreement; this would finally bring Soul Orb into line, since it would only grant immunity to one of those two effects.
HALPMEH and the immunity wards are definitely going to be balance issues for the Diver.

WCSU students, faculty to present live election-night TV coverage
Western crew to produce Charter Communications Nov. 5 broadcast of area election results
DANBURY, CONN. — Television viewers across western Connecticut will receive live coverage of city and town election results provided by a crew of more than 40 Western Connecticut State University students and faculty members who will present a three-hour broadcast on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013, from the Charter Communications Cable Access Studio in Newtown.
Coordinated by executive producer Dr. JC Barone, associate professor of communication and media arts at WCSU, "Election Connection 2013" will bring together a team of five anchors delivering up-to-the-minute coverage of municipal election results from 17 western Connecticut cities and towns in Fairfield, Litchfield and New Haven counties. The broadcast, airing from 8 to 11 p.m. on the Charter network's CommunityVision Channel 21, also will feature reports by WCSU students from seven field locations across the region.
A radio simulcast of the program will air on WXCI-FM (91.7), with live Web streaming of the broadcast provided at www.wcsu.edu/live and www.wxci.org. Viewers will be invited to participate directly in coverage by sending tweets on Twitter that will be presented in social media reports during the broadcast.
Election results will be updated throughout the evening for Danbury and 16 other communities in western Connecticut including Bethel, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Kent, Monroe, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Ridgefield, Roxbury, Sherman, Southbury, Trumbull, Washington and Woodbury.
"Our goal is to provide residents of our region with information that they are not getting anywhere else through continuous live televised coverage, and to contribute to raising civic awareness on campus and in the community," Barone said. He observed that Western students participating in the production also gain valuable experiential learning that will prepare them for advanced studies and future careers.
WCSU anchors for the election-night program will include two Department of Communication and Media Arts faculty members, Assistant Professor Dr. Jay Brower and Adjunct Professor Dr. Jacqueline Guzda. They will be joined at the anchor desk by WCSU Assistant Professor of Political Science Dr. Matthew Dabros; Western political science major Corey Paris, of Brookfield, president of the Student Government Association; and attorney James Bellano, former City of Danbury economic development director who also has taught at WCSU. Barone said the anchor team "will provide diverse viewpoints and insights into the races and issues important to western Connecticut."
Two new features of this year's program will be an in-studio focus group discussion of election-related topics during the evening and a social media segment dedicated to surveying and reporting Twitter tweets of interest on local issues, candidates and contests. The focus group drawn from the university and area communities will be hosted by WCSU communication and media arts major Ashley Leach, a New Fairfield resident selected in 2012 as Miss Connecticut USA. Survey and analysis for the social media segment will be coordinated by WCSU Adjunct Professor of Communication Tom Zarecki with assistance from Stephen Colon, Jessica Ann Catena, Mimi Kelly, Al Kessler and Cassandra McCarthy.
Western students will be able to view the live broadcast on large screens during an "Election Connection Watch Party" to be held on election night in the Westside Campus Center Grand Ballroom on the university's Westside campus in Danbury. The party is sponsored by the WCSU Student Government Association. Social media access also will be available on Facebook at "WCSU Election Connection" and on Twitter at "@ElectConnect13."
"Election Connection 2013" marks the third consecutive year that WCSU has collaborated with Charter Communications to provide real-time coverage on election night of voting results from municipalities in western Connecticut. This year's production has been organized as part of the COM 398 "Live News Broadcasting" class in the WCSU communication/media arts curriculum. Western students participating in the program will assume key roles ranging from studio producers, anchors and technical staff to field reporters and social media analysts.
Producers Siobhan Ryan, of Danbury, and Andy Caruso, of Monroe, have worked this summer and fall with Barone, technical support staff from Charter Communications and the Information Technology and Innovation department at Western, and student members of the production team to prepare the complex communication infrastructure required for the multi-media presentation. "It's been a challenge not just to get up to speed with the technology and the programs we work with, but also to find new ways to put these tools to use," said Ryan, who plans to pursue a career in movie editing. Both Ryan and Caurso are communication and media arts majors at Western.
"The task we have put before them is gargantuan," Barone observed. "We are tackling layers and layers of visual and audio tasks, and we're doing it in a professional and innovative way that gives the program the look of a cable news network show."
Western's election-night productions over the past two years have drawn praise from professional organizations in the communications field. "Election Connection 2012" garnered two national awards recognizing excellence in programming and innovation in the use of information technology, including selection as a bronze winner in the 34th annual Telly Awards and as recipient of the Communicator Award of Distinction from the International Academy of the Visual Arts. "Our challenge now is to deliver the same high level of quality programming year after year," Barone remarked. "We have accepted that challenge."
Barone attributed the success of the annual election-night production to the support of Department of Communication and Media Arts Chair Dr. Katy Wiss, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences Dr. Missy Alexander, and Information Technology and Innovation technical staff at WCSU, working in collaboration with Charter Communications. He also expressed gratitude to WCSU Director of Administrative Services Mark Case for assistance with administrative arrangements, and Professor of Theatre Arts Elizabeth Popiel for designing the "Election Connection" set.
For more information, call the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486 or contact Barone at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York. Our vision: To be an affordable public university with the characteristics of New England's best small private universities.

I have also made these shorts from the downloaded pattern. I found the instructions really hard to understand. I used Pattern Runway's tutorial on welt pockets and Sigrid's instructions in how to insert a fly front zipper (See links below). http://www.patternrunway.com/2011/09/how-to-sew-single-welt-pocket-with.htmlhttp://sigridsewingprojects.blogspot.com/2007/09/fly-front-zipper-how-to-make-it.html Apart from that I used common sense and looking at pairs of similar shorts I own to construct the shorts. I did increase the underlap width showing and therefore redraft the waistband piece to fit. They ended up looking pretty much exactly like the photo and fit really well. I'm very pleased with them but I wouldn't tackle them if I was a beginner.

I made these shorts and I'm happy with the result. ( I did increase the inseam depth though, otherwise fit was okay). The shorts are a slightly low rise fit, which was good for me. The caveat: clarity of instructions. I could make no sense of the lap zipper instructions. I ended up using a commercial pair of shorts as a guide. Waistband instructions were also fairly incomprehensible. Also, I ended up using alternative instructions from a prior issue to create the welt pockets. If you know what you are doing—or have confidence that you can figure it out—then the pattern should be fine. Otherwise beware. I hope that the instructions in the download version are better than the magazine instructions were.

Medicare Coverage of Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment
What It Is
Treatment for alcohol or drug abuse for a hospital inpatient
What's Covered
Medicare Part A covers medically necessary hospital inpatient treatment for alcohol or drug abuse.
If you have a Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plan: Medicare Part C Medicare Advantage plans, also called Medicare Advantage plans, must cover everything that's included in original Medicare Part A and Part B coverage. But sometimes a Part C plan covers more, with extra services or an expanded amount of coverage. (Co-payments for Part C plans may also be different than those for Part A or Part B.) To find out whether your plan provides extra coverage or requires different co-payments for inpatient substance abuse treatment, contact the plan directly.
What Medicare Pays
Medicare Part A pays for hospital inpatient care for alcohol or drug abuse in the same way it pays for any other hospital inpatient care, with a deductible, daily coinsurance amounts for long stays, and limits on the total days covered.
Important: Regardless of the rules regarding any particular type of care, in order for Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, or a Medicare Part C plan to provide coverage, the care must meet two basic requirements:
The care must be "medically necessary." This means that it must be ordered or prescribed by a licensed physician or other authorized medical provider, and that Medicare (or a Medicare Part C plan) agrees that the care is necessary and proper. For help getting your care covered, see FAQ: How Can I Increase the Odds That Medicare Will Cover My Medical Service?
The care must be performed or delivered by a healthcare provider who participates in Medicare.

Making a colorful hat from newspaper and tissue paper is a really fun craft for kids. Hats can be made into all kinds of shapes and sizes. It's amazing how different the hats can turn out also.
Items needed:
- Newspaper or craft paper
- Tacky white glue
- Tissue paper
- Scissors
- Masking tape
- If using newspaper, start with a double thickness of entire sheets of newspaper. If using craft paper, one thickness should be sufficient.
- Fold paper in half, and experiment folding edges over at various angles, to get the look you want. continue to fold over stray edges to make a smooth silhouette. Tape all edges, inside and out, with masking tape.
- You can make short, small hats ... tall, skinny hats wide, floppy hats, etc. It's all in the folding. Just experiement for a bit before deciding on your final folds.
- Cut strips and squares from tissue paper. Several sheets can be cut at one time. Let kids choose the colors they wish to use. Some may choose only blues, some may want every color available. That's okay and their hats will all look different.
- Make little balls, wadded up, from some of the pieces of tissue paper. cut little fringed sections, wadding up the top, for adding to edges, etc. Other pieces can be used as flat strips or squares.
- Start applying dabs of glue to areas and press selected pieces in place. Using a thick tacky glue lets kids turn over their hats while working on them without the already attached pieces falling off. Obviously, they will need to take some care.
- Let the hats dry thoroughly and then have a Spring parade!

In Technology Vision 2015, we outlined how leading businesses are stretching their boundaries in the digital era—and creating a fabric connecting customers, services and devices through the Internet of Things (IoT).
In the process, they are disrupting and reshaping entire markets. Most importantly, they are looking to collaborate in the "We Economy" to tackle global challenges that transcend business and industry borders.
We found that security is a central tenet across all of the trends described in Tech Vision 2015.
Cyber Security plays a key role in today's digital business
Examine the 5 security implications emerging out of this year's Tech Vision.
Specifically, security is a top priority to:
Since security is the foundation for these trends, we are focusing this year's Security Implications on five themes or chapters to help prepare business leaders to stretch their digital boundaries:
Chapter 1—Edge Autonomy. Enabling autonomous devices at the edge. What is the security impact of using IoT edge devices to enable business decisions?
Chapter 2—Data Integrity. Making data-driven decisions at Internet of Things scale. How can businesses make sure edge data is reliable for analytics?
Chapter 3—Big Data Security. Securing the three Vs. What security controls will scale to protect big data?
Chapter 4—Security Platforms. Maximizing protection across digital ecosystem platforms. How can businesses leverage their platforms to securely operate in a broader digital ecosystem?
Chapter 5—Customer Trust. Building customer trust in a digital economy. What security and privacy approaches reinforce customer trust in the age of hyperpersonalization?
We recommend businesses be vigilant with their security and privacy practices so that they neither compromise their customers' experiences nor lose their trust.
Following truly proactive and ethical data stewardship practices, and offering enhanced services that are consistent with customers' expectations of privacy and personalized seamless experiences, will strengthen trust and participation in the digital economy.
We encourage you to read the full report and contact us to discuss innovative ways to secure the new digital ecosystem, expand your connectedness and enable a rich and trusted customer experience in our shared digital future.

I tried to compile Krusader using PKGBUILD from abs. I have base-devel installed, but I got in the end error:
Linking CXX static library ../../lib/libPanel.a
[ 76%] Built target Panel
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Application is compiled via Cmake. Ive made litle research but couldn't find solution. Sorry for so few info but I don't really know what would you like more to be able to help, so please just let me know so I could deliver more information.
Thanks for any help!

Nothing. I just want to learn something new so I compile different software by myself.
Not sure if helpful, but I'll add output of:

I tried to compile Krusader using PKGBUILD from abs. I have base-devel installed, but I got in the end error.....
I tried your compilation from abs on my system and got your same build failure. I always build with the "--log" option to makepkg and in a case like this open the build log file and search for the error. There are lots of warnings about things like "unused parameter" "ignoring return value" and such. Find the first error. In your case I searched for the word "error" and came to a line with "error: 'make_pair' was not declared in this scope".
So enter that error into a google search (krusader error: 'make_pair' was not declared in this scope) and near the top of the list is a link to an Archlinux bug report page for the krusader package, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29429
There you find a Comment by Karol (Kudlaty) - Tuesday, 17 April 2012, 16:00 GMT
ok, compiling error fixed by changing:
make_pair => std::make_pair
There's your fix
The file with the error, from the build log, was src/krusader-2.4.0-beta1/krusader/UserAction/tstring.h (of course open that file and see where make_pair is used). The two invocations of make_pair need to become std::make_pair, so the fixed build function in our PKGBUILD becomes
build() {
cd "${srcdir}"
sed -i 's/make_pair/std::make_pair/' krusader-2.4.0-beta1/krusader/UserAction/tstring.h
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../${pkgname}-${_pkgver} \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
With the addition of that one sed line to the pkgbuild the krusader package now builds ok. Always run namcap on your built package: in this case namcap tells us that we got all of the dependencies right and the package looks ok.
It's a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667231
The workaround is to add -fpermissive to the CXXFLAGS (prepend `CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -fpermissive"` to the cmake line).
Reported: FS#30424 (with patch).
-- edit: Your way is probably a better way. Feel free to update the bug report.

I agree with Daniel Robbins on this issue of "why do you try to rebuild Arch packages when somebody already built it once upon a time on some computer with probably different versions of the libraries and a different toolchain...". The First Law of Software Systems: the software must build from source code reliably at all times. If you can't build it today you've lost control along the way. Check out the values of Funtoo,
I have a word of advice for the OP from my own experience. If you want to learn how to build your own system from source stop using pacbuilder and other automation scripts until you've learned what's going on underneath. Do it manually with simpler tools like abs/makepkg; maybe you'll eventually write your own bash scripts to automate things.
Eithrial: please do not blank posts, it makes for disjointed threads and is disrespectful of the other contributors...

Church Records in Hispanic Research
This article originally appeared in "Hispanic Research" by George R. Ryskamp, JD, AG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
The records of the Roman Catholic Church represent the single best Spanish-language source for finding the family's place of origin. Most important are those found in the local parish. Parish records, which contain a rich collection of materials of interest to the family and local historian, can be divided into two major categories: sacramental records and non-sacramental records. Sacramental records are baptisms, marriages, and confirmations. Non-sacramental records include death or burial records, fraternal order books, account books, censuses, individual documents, and local history materials.
Hispanic Catholic parish records are generally divided between three books or sets of books: one for baptisms, another for marriages, and a third for deaths. Frequently, confirmations are also recorded in the baptismal books, although, during some periods, and especially in larger parishes, a separate book for confirmations may have been maintained. Particularly valuable are marriage records, in which the place of origin is frequently given for the bride and groom and/or their parents.<ref>For a detailed discussion, see George R. Ryskamp, "Catholic Marriage Records as a Source for Immigrant Place of Origin," Ancestry Magazine 20 (May/June 2002):36-41.</ref> The attached images show marriage entries from Catholic parish records in Our Lady of Guadalupe, Los Angeles, California, and in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico (1759), as well as a printed page of extracts of marriages from the Saint Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, Louisiana (1786), all of which serve to identify the place of origin of the bride and/or the groom in Mexico or Spain. Even in the United States, many Catholic parishes in Spanish-speaking areas continued to maintain parish records in Spanish well into the twentieth century. Always check for these records in their original form; extracts often omit the very details about place of origin that the researcher seeks.
Before a marriage, the standard procedure for the parties involved was to file a marriage petition (expediente matrimonial, información matrimonial, aplicación matrimonial) with the parish priest. This petition would contain proof of good standing in the Catholic Church (usually the baptismal certificates of the bride and groom), written permission from the parents if the bride or groom was under twenty-one (though this age varied), and the priest's permission for the marriage to take place. In addition, if the groom was from another parish, there would be a statement by the priest of his parish that the three admonitions had been read or posted there on three consecutive Sundays or holy days. If the father of the bride or groom'whose consent was normally required'was dead, then the death record or date of death of that father would also be included in the marriage petition. In many parishes, such petitions have been conserved and are of particular interest if the groom is from a parish other than the one in which the marriage took place, since the petition may even provide a copy of his baptismal certificate. In American parishes, if the groom came from Spain, statements from witnesses testifying as to his good character and Catholic standing might substitute for the other documents. Often, these witnesses were immigrants like the groom or bride and knew one or both of them in the country of origin.
The marriage petition would also include any special dispensations required from a bishop or the pope for the marriage to take place. In addition to references to dispensas de consanguinidad, which were granted to permit marriages between relatives in the fourth degree of blood relationship, marriage entries may offer other interesting information about the bride and groom. If either the bride or the groom lived extensively outside the diocese in which the parish was located, there is usually mention of a special dispensa, or note from the bishopric authorizing the marriage. All such information should be noted as the parish research is done because it may provide clues for further research in the diocesan archives. Catholic parish records can be found in microfilmed form by looking in the Family History Library Catalog for the ancestral town under 'Place Search.' Many marriage dispensation records have also been filmed and some even published (see George Ryskamp, Finding Your Hispanic Roots, chapter 10).

Copper River salmon is on sale at Central Market this week! This dish came together after I saw the beautiful heirloom tomatoes and baby cucumbers I received from Farmhouse Delivery this week. Despite it looking like a fancy shmancy dish, the preparation is actually very simple, just highlighting the taste of quality seasonal ingredients. The recipe below is given in parts. It's fastest to start out with the cucumber salsa (which needs a few minutes to marinate and develop flavor), then move on to prepping the salmon, then while the salmon is poaching, prepare the avocado sauce, for dinner in about 45 minutes total.
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (with seeds if you want spicy)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and additional lime juice if desired).
- Let chill in refrigerator.
Poached Salmon
2 6-oz skinless salmon fillets, of similar thickness (for cooking evenly)
1 or 2 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves torn off
3 cups vegetable broth
salt and pepper
- Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay fillets in a baking dish just large enough to fit both fillets (8x8x2 for example). Sprinkle tarragon leaves on top of fish. Let sit 5-10 minutes to let salmon reach room temperature.
- Meanwhile, boil vegetable broth in a small saucepan. Pour boiling broth over salmon until salmon is fully submerged. Cover baking dish (with lid or foil), and let salmon poach for 8-12 minutes (for medium rare to medium doneness).
- Transfer salmon to plate with a slotted spatula/fish turner.
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper
- Scoop out flesh of avocado into a small food processor. Combine with remaining ingredients and pulse in food processor until sauce is smooth and velvety, seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice if needed. If sauce is too thick, add in water 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency.
- Build a flavor foundation for each plate with approximately 1/4 cup of avocado sauce, spreading it out with the back of a spoon.
- Place 3 slices of tomato on top of the avocado sauce.
- Transfer salmon atop the tomato slices.
- Garnish with cucumber salsa on top of the salmon.
- Add an additional dollop of avocado sauce on top of cucumber salsa if desired.

She was the former Founder & Director of the McLean Hospital Human Sexuality Program and the former Co-founder and Co-director of The McLean Hospital Couple's Institute.
Award: Suki Hanfling was the recipient of the first New England/New York American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Sex Therapy as a Therapist, Teacher, and Supervisor.
Do you wish you could feel more intimate with your partner? Has your sexual relationship lost it's passion and sense of connection?

Suki Hanfling, AASECT diplomate and Jan Leslie Shifren, MD were the two consultants and authors of Sexuality in Midlife and Beyond, the Special Health Report from Harvard Medical Harvard Medical School. To learn about this report or to order copies please go to:
The Institute for Sexuality & Intimacy (ISI) offers treatment of sexual dissatisfaction, sexual dysfunction, and sexual addiction. We treat heterosexual, gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals and couples. Our treatment approach emphasizes the individual growth of each partner as well as the enhancement of the couple relationship.
We work with both members of a couple whenever possible. We have found that when one partner experiences sexual difficulties, the other partner generally influences and is affected by these problems. However, it is possible to successfully conduct sex therapy with an individual.
Although there are often multiple factors contributing to sexual difficulties, we begin sex therapy by addressing the most immediate and specific causes, such as communication difficulties, being 'time starved' due to life's stresses, and performance anxiety. When indicated, therapy can then focus on more complex causes, including difficulties with trust, control, and intimacy.
Commonly Encountered Sexual Difficulties
*Low or inhibited sexual desire, persistent reduction in sexual interest, or total disinterest in sex.
*Sexual incompatibility or unsatisfying sex.
*Impotence (erectile difficulties).
*Premature, delayed, or no ejaculation.
*Inability to experience orgasm (anorgasmia).
*Pain during intercourse or orgasm.
*Vulvadinia, vestibulitis, etc.
*Penetration difficulties (vaginismus).
*Sexual aversion or phobias (possibly resulting from sexual assault or abuse).
*Sexual addictions and compulsions.
*Difficulties caused by medical illness, physical handicaps or medications.
Treatment Strategies
The Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy uses an integrated approach based on the work of Masters and Johnson, Helen Singer Kaplan, Joseph LoPiccolo, David Schnarch, John Gottman, Harville Hendrix (Imago Therapy), Francine Shapiro (EMDR), Richard Schwartz (IFS) and others. Our highly experienced clinicians are extensively trained to provide treatment that encompasses interpersonal, psychodynamic, and cognitive and behavioral approaches, including specific sexual therapy techniques.
The Individualized Treatment Plan May Include:
*Identifying & addressing problematic aspects of the sexual interaction.
*Exploring sexual attitudes and experiences.
*Examining issues from the past which might affect the present.
*Identifying what aspects of the couple's interaction may trigger strong emotional reactions.
*Relaxation techniques.
*Communication and assertiveness training.
*Exploring difficulties with trust.
*Dealing with struggles over control.
*Developing mutual empathy, honesty, intimacy, and passion.
*Structured homework assignments.
*Sexual education, including suggested readings and videos.
*Referrals for medical evaluations and/or other treatments as needed.
When there is a history of sexual abuse or trauma difficulties with sexual desire and functioning are common. Our therapists are specifically trained to address these sensitive issues. Couples therapy and education about the impact of the abuse are combined with sex therapy to promote sexual healing. In these situations, the active and empathic participation of both partners is particularly important.

Well, Duh! Facebook Could Very Well Ruin Workplace Productivity
With the advent of social media, many people have blurred the lines between their personal and professional lives. And according to a new survey, it could be causing problems.
Staffing company Kelly Services, which surveyed 170,000 people in 30 countries for its Kelly Global Workforce Index, found that more than half of respondents feel social media has a negative impact on workplace productivity, and also that mixing personal and professional connections is a dicey thing to do.
What's more, nearly 15 percent of employees surveyed have no qualms posting their opinions about work on social media sites where both friends and colleagues can see them.
"The reality is that the spread of social media in the workplace is occurring faster than any rules designed to manage it," said Steve Armstrong, senior vice president and general manager for Kelly Services. "While many employees are quick to see the benefits, employers and managers are still grappling with a host of complex issues relating to privacy, monitoring, and access to sensitive business information."

Lea Michele & Chris Colfer Not Returning for 'Glee' Season 4
Get ready to say goodbye to Rachel, Kurt, and Finn.
Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Cory Monteith will not be returning for the fourth season of Glee, according to the show's creator Ryan Murphy.
"[They are] not going to be back at all for Season 4," Ryan told THR. "You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year."
While Ryan has previously mentioned that cast members would be graduating at the end of next season, these are the first cast members officially not returning.
While Chord Overstreet was not made a series regular for the third season, he is still welcome on the show and could possibly be bumped to a regular for season four.
ARE YOU SAD to see Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and Cory Monteith leave Glee?

Good evening,
So I m in the market for a new kite, and was wondeing what you all thought about these three potential candidates.
Currently ride 9m smoke and 13m edge, both of which do me just fine. The smoke is a great all rounder, and will stay my go to kite for the waves and down winders, but I want this new kite to give e a bit more pep, be a little faster, and provide better lift. Am more of an old schooler in terms of riding style, but want a degree of versatility for those times when can only travel with one kite.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts chaps.

Campers and trailers hauling the essentials of Labor Day weekend were so commonplace along U.S. 34 headed to Loveland on Monday that the 1950s-era diner being towed to its next home almost didn't seem unusual.
Besides, if everything goes the way Loveland resident Gene Stires plans, the community is about to see a lot more of the vintage diner. The relocation on Monday was the first step toward bringing it back to life as a restored, operational diner.
"When we're done with it, we're hoping it looks like it did the day it was built," Stires said.
A truck from Chuck's Towing pulled the diner a little more than six miles to Stires' home near the south shore of Lake Loveland, but in 1992, Alton Johnson hauled it 550 miles from Adams, Neb. to his house on Glade Road. It stayed there for two decades.
"I wanted to finish it," he said. "But I'm 81 years old now. I hope (Stires) gets it fixed up."
Johnson, a longtime car collector, said there was something about the diner that struck him when he drove to Nebraska to pick it up back then. For one thing, it was completely intact -- dishes, salt and pepper shakers, soda fountain, ten bright red stool seats.
Even the pad used to jot down order for the cook was still there.
"It's like a little time capsule inside," Stires said.
Stires, who used to run Honnda Doctor at the corner of First Street and Lincoln Avenue and still owns that property, has fixed up many cars and restored a short bus on that property a few of years back. He's never dabbled in portable restaurants before, but ever since he saw the diner a couple of years ago, Stires said he hasn't been able to stop thinking about what it could become.
"All of the pieces just seemed to fit," he said.
One of those pieces was the name. Built in Kansas by Valentine Manufacturing Inc., it's one of about 2,000 small diners built from the late 1930s to 1970s that are now known and recognized across the country as "Valentine Diners."
Stires plans to keep that name alive, because what better distinction for the Sweetheart City?
This particular 25-by-10-foot Valentine Diner was built in the 1940s and operated in five locations in Nebraska through the course of its life, Johnson said.
While the diner is currently parked at his home, Stires said that's a temporary location while work begins. The permanent home is anticipated to be Stires' First Street and Lincoln Avenue property, just north of the building that's there.
"My old shop is kind of like a landmark," Stires said of the lot. "With this, we're trying to add another landmark."
Depending on weather, Stires hopes to have the diner opened as a new Loveland eatery -- dine in or take out from a walk-up window -- by the end of the year. It needs a good amount of work, but judging by the number of local businesses and community members who have already stepped forward to help -- Loveland Glass, Loveland Design, Sherwin-Williams and more --Stires believes the timeline is possible.
"All of these things are just falling into place," Stires said.

John Besh Profile
Some restaurant chefs go to extraordinary lengths to find exactly the right ingredients for their dishes.
One is John Besh, who once wanted to strengthen the flavor and texture of his veal-stock reductions at Restaurant August in New Orleans by adding collagen, the protein found in cattle that also produces gelatin.
Collagen comes from the heads and hooves of cattle. According to Besh, it "adds a richness and viscosity to a sauce that you wouldn't have otherwise." And the only way to get the stuff, he found out, was to buy livestock.
Federal law says you can't use a bovine creature's head and hooves for consumption unless you own the animal. So Besh buys a couple of male calves a month from local dairies, lets them graze for a few weeks and produces his own collagen, along with sweetbreads and meat for cutlets and chops.
Self-imposed standards like these have paid off in national accolades for August since it opened in 2001. In February this year, the judges on the Food Network's "Iron Chef America" cooking competition ranked Besh's dishes higher than those of New York culinary idol Mario Batali. In May he received the highly coveted Beard Award for Best Chef Southeastern U.S. for 2006.
For restaurant chefs, such compliments carry a price -- the heightened pressure to keep the menu's quality high. At August, there are signs the kitchen can take the heat. The food often manages to be both lusty in flavor and playful in execution. The lustiness might come from impeccably soft beef tenderloin lavished with oxtail, porcini mushrooms, sweet onions and smoked marrow, and the playfulness in a dish like dew-fresh gulf blackfish, seared to a crisp and brought out with two other ingredients prepared both separately and together -- a lobster jus, some parsley root and a salad of lobster and parsley.
The menu also respects tradition. "We all have food memories that shape the way we eat and cook," Besh said. "One of my unforgettable ones is learning to do a bouillabaisse from two chefs in the south of France," one being Alain Assaud of the restaurant bearing his name in St. Rémy-de-Provence, the other, Clément Bruno of Chez Bruno, just north of the Mediterranean coast.
So August's seafood dishes include his Louisiana improvisation on a Provençal bouillabaisse. It's served at the restaurant in the traditional two courses -- first the thick and richly flavored broth made with a variety of fish and shellfish and accompanied by rouille (a peppery garlic mayonnaise), and then the seafood itself. "Clément Bruno said that a true bouillabaisse should contain rouget and stockfish from the Mediterranean," Besh said. "Here, I want freshness, so I use a couple of our local fish species -- drum, which has the right white, flaky flesh, then rouget barbé, the red mullet, and a bit of monkfish on the bone. Monkfish bones add a lot of flavor."
Besh's sense of determination and his very ambitious reach are what you might expect from a restaurant cook who saw action in Operation Desert Storm as a U.S. Marine, and whose résumé includes substantial sojourns in a few highly disciplined European kitchens. He puts a premium on the kind of self-sufficiency he first experienced as a youngster in southeast Louisiana's rich coastal woods and marshes, butchering deer at the end of a hunt, crab fishing along Lake Pontchartrain's shoreline, and harvesting mushrooms from the area's boggy soil.
Today, he works closely with local and regional growers and purveyors willing to meet his specifications. "Right now we're working with three farmers. In the spring we discussed what to plant for the fall crop -- what greens, legumes, and heirloom tomatoes. Some tomatoes from eastern European seeds can be harvested here as late as Thanksgiving, thanks to southeast Louisiana's almost year-round growing season. Last year we grew 68 varieties. This year it's about 30 because we've narrowed them down to those that work really well for us."
Among the very few imported vegetables used at August is German white asparagus, arriving in spears as thick as knockwurst and loaded with flavor. "The care the Germans take in growing white asparagus is almost cult-like, and we get them by air, faster than anything that's trucked in from California or Central America." They recently became the inspiration for a supremely elegant cream soup with crab meat.
Besh's introduction to Europe's lofty culinary standards came during the year he spent in Germany's Black Forest, in the Michelin-starred kitchen of Chef Karl Josef Fuchs at the Romantik Hotel in Spielweg. He remembers the experience as giving him "a truer sense of what it means to build a sustainable food culture supported by local foodways, producing in your own environment the central elements of what you cook."
Evidence of his German apprenticeship shows up regularly on the tables at August. In one appetizer, the springy nuggets of "gnocchi" bathed in butter with bits of crab, truffle and Parmigiano-Reggiano are not as Italian as the menu terms would suggest, but are made from an old potato-dumpling recipe that has German connections. Soft kernels of spätzle appear alongside pork loin or veal, the schnitzel is state-of-the-art, and rarely is the menu without a dish or two that includes sausage.
Much of the charcuterie leaving the restaurant's kitchen originated in it. "With my brother-in-law, who's a fellow hunter, I've made duck or deer sausage, some of which we've used in the restaurant," Besh said. "Once a year the kitchen staff and I will make a batch of bratwurst." His cooks get more hands-on experience with sausage-making through occasional visits to another of the chef's mentors, French-born Chris Kerageorgiou of La Provence restaurant, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. The subject of a Kerageorgiou lesson might be France's pink and delicate-tasting rosette de Lyon, with pork, or the slender and spicy Moroccan lamb sausage known as merguez, neither of which is readily available at market in the quality Besh looks for.
It's one more nod to what seems to be an unspoken rule in John Besh's kitchen: If we can't find the best, let's try creating it.

The 2012 Leadville Trail 100 MTB Race may be in the books, but we've got a few video interviews to share from our time racing and wrenching above 10,000 feet in Colorado. Performance Bicycle had 3 riders from our home office riding in the race, and 3 Spin Doctor mechanics providing expert neutral support to all of the racers, but our first interviews are with a few of the pros who battled it out at the front of the race.
First up is Jeremiah Bishop, a veteran racer and multiple-time US National Champion for the powerhouse Cannondale Factory Racing Team. Jeremiah mixed it up in the lead group all day at Leadville and finished in 3rd place overall with a time of 6 hours 41 minutes (even with a detour that added and extra 6 miles to his race!) But Jeremiah was really excited to talk about hosting his upcoming Alpine Loop Gran Fondo back in his home town of Harrisonburg, VA on September 15 – we'll be there too, but we'll leave the Strava King of the Mountain assault on Reddish Knob to JB:
Next up is Team Topeak Ergon's Sonya Looney, who was the 6th woman across the finish line, even though she was still sporting a cast on her wrist from an earlier mountain bike adventure! Sonya's teammates didn't fair too badly themselves during this year's Leadville race, with Alban Lakata taking the win, Robert Mennen in 7th, Yuki Ikeda in 17th and Sally Bigham in 2nd place in the women's race:
Finally we've got a pre-ride chat with a former 2-time champ of the Leadville Trail 100, Bryson Perry, who completed the race this year to earn the coveted "Plata Grande" – the giant belt buckle awarded to the select few who have successfully finished 10 Leadville races:


text: I have configured ISPConfig 2 with debian. I have 3 websites created. For each website I have a domain. The problem comes now. Let me explain: I created a new website, which I called forum. Now I need one of the three that I have configured DNS for websites point a sub domain. Example: foro.domain.com. To do I access the admin panel as dns manager, and I access the domain, select the tab records, and created a new record type pointing to my public IP with the forum name, so to put in foro.dominio browser. com should let me access to this website or to ping me answer me on that website, which is not done. What do we owe this issue? What am I doing wrong? When you create the DNS record from the ISP Manager not allow me to show me the following message: "The foro.dominio.com name is already in use by another site or domain" The DNS record is not set up anywhere, I checked up the trash, and there it is. So I proceeded to do it from the DNS Manager I used google translator, so I apologize if you do not understand something or if something bad writing. My English is very bad. I speak Spanish, and I posted here because I did not find some other place to do it. Greetings and Thanks

During official school holidays and summer break, if you are maintaining valid status you may work a maximum of 28 hours per week for the University. See below for available dates.
F-1 and J-1 student employees are eligible to work on-campus while attending classes. The work does not need to be related to their field of study. They must maintain legal F-1 or J-1 status while engaging in on-campus employment. Employment is limited to 20 hours a week while school is in session. International students maintaining legal F-1 or J-1 status may work a maximum of 28 hours per week for the University when school is not in session or during the annual vacation (summer).
On-campus employment must either be performed on Clemson University premises, (including on-location commercial firms which provide services for students on campus and are located in a university owned building, such as the university bookstore, Barnes & Noble, and university dining halls for which ARAMARK provides staffing, including campus restaurants such as Subway, Chick-fil-A, etc., OR at an off-campus location which is educationally affiliated with the university, such as the CU-ICAR campus, Clemson at ONE in Greenville, University Center of Greenville, etc.
Additionally, it is important to note that on-campus employment includes work done as a teaching or research assistant, graduate grading assistant, graduate lab assistants, and graduate student hourly, as well as jobs in the university library, laboratories and administrative offices.
Employment with on-site commercial firms, such as a construction company that is building a university building, which do not provide direct student services, is not deemed on-campus employment.

Television producer and art collector Douglas S. Cramer has sold his Roxbury estate for $7.5 million, the Waterbury Republican-American reported last week.
Cramer, 78, whose credits include "The Love Boat" and "Dynasty," sold the property last month to Mark Booth, a trustee thought to represent an anonymous buyer, according to the Republican-American's report.
A Wall Street Journal story last July said Cramer, who also helped found the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, calls himself "an addictive collector of houses and art." He began 12 years ago with 50 acres in Roxbury and added nine adjacent properties to create the nearly 130-acre estate. "It's like Topsy," he told the Journal. "It just grew."
Originally listed at $9.3 million, the property, known as Dogwood Farm, includes a 12-room, 11,000-square-foot Colonial with a two-story guesthouse, a 4,000-square-foot caretaker's house, two barns, a greenhouse, a pool, trails and a large pond, according to Klemm Real Estate, which had the listing
The four-bedroom main house, which has a wine cellar and gym, overlooks a waterfall on a brook with three bridges.

There's "Big," and then there's big.
Box office giant Tom Hanks has purchased the 14,500-square-foot Pacific Palisades, Calif., home of veteran producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall.
The sales price is listed at slightly more than $26 million at Blockshopper.com, a news and market data service, making this the most expensive residential sale in the Los Angeles area so far this year.
Property records show that the contemporary house, built in 1996, has four bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Hanks, 53, pictured at right, won Oscars for his starring roles in "Forrest Gump" and " Philadelphia" and received lead actor nominations for "Big," "Saving Private Ryan" and "Cast Away," which he also produced. He played symbolist Robert Langdon in "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons" and is the voice of Woody in the "Toy Story" movies.
Among the mutual credits of Kennedy, 56, and Marshall, 63, are "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Seabiscuit."
Walton Goggins, who starred in the crime drama "The Shield" from 2002 to 2008, is putting his remodeled Hollywood Hills home on the market for $1,175,000.
Goggins wanted the three-bedroom, three-bathroom house to blend traditional and modern elements and have a seamless indoor-outdoor flow while retaining the 1960s home's original form. "The bones were there," he said.
Goggins, 38, at first leased the post-and-beam home from a friend.
"I called him shortly thereafter and said, 'You know, I can't leave this house. You might as well sell it to me now'," he said. He bought it for $512,000 in 2001. "I knew that, given enough time, this house could accurately reflect me as person."
He worked on the house with a contractor friend. They installed hardwood floors, remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms, redid both fireplaces, added lighting and resurfaced the garage.
Outside, they built fences, created seating, put in fountains and replaced the roof and gutters. Involved in every step, Goggins even slept in the house without windows and doors while the new ones were being installed. "It made more sense than checking into a hotel," he said.
Set in a grove of oaks, the two-story house has clerestory windows in the sunroom and wood-beamed ceilings in the guest suite, which includes a sitting room with a fireplace and a kitchen area.
Goggins wasn't looking to move but happened upon another property that also felt like home.
He said he will miss walking through the 1,600-square-foot Hollywood Hills house and seeing his part in it everywhere. "I poured my heart and soul into it. The house truly is an extension of me."
Goggins will be in "Predators," set for July release, and the thriller "Straw Dogs" (2011). He now is shooting the FX crime drama "Justified," which premieres in mid-March.

Parse, Audit, Query, Build, and Modify Cisco IOS-style configurations
Project description
Introduction: What is ciscoconfparse?
ciscoconfparse parses, audits, queries, builds, and modifies Cisco IOS configurations.
The latest copy of the docs are archived on the web
ciscoconfparse needs Python versions 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2+; the OS should not matter. If you want to run it under a Python virtualenv, it's been heavily tested in that environment as well.
Installation and Downloads
The best way to get ciscoconfparse is with setuptools or pip. If you already have setuptools, you can install as usual:
# Substitute whatever ciscoconfparse version you like... easy_install -U ciscoconfparse==1.1.9
Alternatively you can install into Python2.x with pip:
pip install --upgrade ciscoconfparse
Use pip3 for Python3.x…
pip3 install --upgrade ciscoconfparse
Otherwise download it from PyPi, extract it and run the setup.py script:
python setup.py install
If you're interested in the source, you can always pull from the github repo or bitbucket repo:
License and Copyright
ciscoconfparse is licensed GPLv3; Copyright David Michael Pennington, 2007-2014.
The ipaddr module is distributed with ciscoconfparse to facilitate unit tests. ipaddr uses the ASF License 2.0; ipaddr is part of the Python standard library, starting in Python 3.3 (it's called ipaddress in Python3).
- QUESTION: I want to use ciscoconfparse with Python3; is that safe? ANSWER: As long as you're using Python 3.2 or higher, it's safe. I test every release against Python 3.2+.
- QUESTION: Some of the code in the documentation looks different than what I'm used to seeing. Did you change something? ANSWER: Yes, starting around ciscoconfparse v0.9.10 I introducted more methods directly on IOSConfigLine() objects; going forward, these methods are the preferred way to use ciscoconfparse. Please start using the new methods shown in the example, since they're faster, and you type much less code this way.
- QUESTION: ciscoconfparse saved me a lot of time, I want to give money. Do you have a donation link? ANSWER: I love getting emails like this; helping people get their jobs done is why I wrote the module. However, I'm not accepting donations.
- QUESTION: Is there a way to use this module with perl? ANSWER: Yes, I do this myself. Install the python package as you normally would and import it into perl with Inline.pm and Inline::Python from CPAN.
- QUESTION: When I use find_children("interface GigabitEthernet3/2"), I'm getting all interfaces beginning with 3/2, including 3/21, 3/22, 3/23 and 3/24. How can I limit my results? ANSWER: There are two ways… the simplest is to use the 'exactmatch' option… find_children("interface GigabitEthernet3/2", exactmatch=True). Another way is to utilize regex expansion that is native to many methods… find_children("interface GigabitEthernet3/2$")

Bug Tracker and Support
ciscoconfparse Support
Please report any suggestions, bug reports, or annoyances with ciscoconfparse through the github bug tracker.
Python Support
If you're having problems with general python issues, consider searching for a solution on Stack Overflow. If you can't find a solution for your problem or need more help, you can ask a question.
Cisco Support
If you're having problems with your Cisco devices, you can open a case with Cisco TAC; if you prefer crowd-sourcing, you can ask on the Stack Exchange Network Engineering site.
ciscoconfparse is developed with mercurial, and pushed to bitbucket. hg-git keeps github repo and bitbucket in sync, so it shouldn't matter if you just want to fork the github repo.
I use the Travis CI project to continuously test ciscoconfparse on Python versions 2.6 through 3.4.

Stronach Stable's 4-year-old Canadian homebred Sligovitz finished a game fifth in the Gulfstream Park Turf (G1) on Feb. 1 as a 25-1 longshot, beaten only 1½ lengths by Kip Deville, and faces another big challenge Saturday in the $150,000 Pan American Stakes (G3) with Presious Passion and Spice Route the likely favorites in the 1½ miles turf test..
"He ran very well in that race (Gulfstream Turf)," said trainer Brian Lynch from Palm Meadows Thursday morning. "He was inexperienced when he tried a mile-and-a-half last year and veered out," referring to the colt's runner-up finish behind Marlang in the Breeders' Stakes at Woodbine in early August.
A son of Sligo Bay, Sligovitz remained a maiden after five starts when he left Florida last spring for Canada before breaking his maiden at Woodbine in June. The good try in the Breeders' Stakes marked his stakes debut and he goes into the Pan American with a record of 12-4-2-3 and earnings of nearly $300,000 and a promising future.
Lynch is also looking forward to the next start for an established star in the stable when Stronach Stable's 4-year-old Canadian homebred filly Ginger Brew runs in the $150,000 Rampart Stakes (G2) going 1 1/8 miles on Sun., Mar. 29.
"She had a pretty rough trip last out in the Tampa Bay race," said Lynch, who had a big meet at Gulfstream last winter with graded-stakes victories by Stronach star fillies Sugar Swirl and Spring Waltz, the latter winning the Rampart by 3¼ lengths.
Ginger Brew finished fifth as the favorite last out in the Endeavor Stakes (G3) on turf at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 14, beaten only a length for it all with traffic trouble in the stretch. The chestnut daughter of Milwaukee Brew emerged as a star in Canada last year after winning the Calder Oaks in late April before shipping north.
After the Calder race, Ginger Brew won the Woodbine Oaks in early June on Polytrack by six lengths and just missed by a head finishing second going 1¼ miles against male rivals in the Queens Plate two weeks later, Canada's most famous race. Her career record stands at 10-5-3-1 for earnings of $780,000.
Graded-Stakes Winners Clash in Saturday Allowance
Jon and Sarah Kelly's Sporting Art and Alien Farm's Nistle's Crunch are 4-year-olds that won Graded stakes last year and use a turf allowance Saturday at Gulfstream Park to advance toward bigger objectives this season.
Jockey Alan Garcia rides Sporting Art in the 1 1/16 miles turf test Saturday for trainer Christophe Clement. The son of Doneraile Court won the Palm Beach Stakes (G3) over the Gulfstream course in late March and the Calder Derby (G3) in April, but disappointed in two more graded-stakes efforts at Arlington Park and Colonial Downs before going to the sidelines for the summer and fall.
Sporting Art will need to improve from his 2009 debut when finishing a non-threatening ninth in the Canadian Turf Stakes (G3) here on Feb. 28, although he was beaten only 5½ lengths in his first start since June 21.
Jockey Manoel Cruz rides Nistle's Crunch for trainer Ken McPeek as he makes his first start since winning the Commonwealth Stakes (G3) on turf at Churchill Downs on Nov. 9. The son of Van Nistelrooy won a nine-furlong main track allowance here last year and finished seventh behind Big Brown in the Florida Derby (G1). He went on to place in Graded stakes at Churchill Downs, Colonial Downs and Saratoga.
Completing the stakes-quality field of nine drawn for the allowance Saturday are Robert Gerczak's Baltimore Bob, Dogwood Stable's Prince Rahy, Issac Muhtar's Fearless Eagle, Frank Calabrese's It's Never Too Late, Michael Martin's Pennington, Martin Cherry's Pickpapocket and Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Furthest Land.
Leparoux & McPeek Hold Narrow Leads in Gulfstream Standings
Jockey Julien Leperoux and trainer Ken McPeek remain on top the Gulfstream Park standings as the meet heads into Florida Derby (G1) week, but both have rivals in close pursuit with highly competitive races for titles at stake in both categories.
Leparoux is based at Gulfstream for the first time this season as he came in on the momentum of a record-breaking performance leading the fall meet standings at Churchill Downs. Leparoux has ridden 40 winners, two more than John R. Velazquez, Kent Desormeaux and Jose Lezcano in a three-way tie for second.
The top four are followed in the jockey standings by Alan Garcia fifth with 37, Cornelio Velasquez and Eibar Coa tied for sixth with 32 each and Edgar Prado and Elvis Trujillo tied for eighth at 31.
Ken McPeek has led the trainer standings since the early days of the meet, but his lead is down to just one (22-21) over Todd Pletcher, who is bidding for a sixth consecutive Gulfstream championship. Nick Zito ranks third after sending out 18 winners, followed by Wesley Ward and Peter Walder tied for fourth at 13.

Author Q&A
In your opinion, which is the most fascinating entry in your dictionary and why?
The most interesting entry is 'habitus', a concept set out by Pierre Bourdieu (1930–2002) in Outline of Theory and Practice (1977). It describes a person's knowledge and understanding of the world, which are acquired from her/his class position and are expressed in thoughts, behaviours, and tastes that are manifested in patterned social and cultural practices. Bourdieu sees the habitus as, at least to some extent, malleable, leading some to argue that it has the capacity to encompass individual freedom. Others see it as an explanation for how ruling class domination is reproduced day-by-day at the micro level. Although Bourdieu used habitus in relation to a person's overall knowledge and understanding of the world, its use has been adapted to include what might be termed smaller-scale habiti and this has been explored in social work scholarship. For example, the process of becoming a social worker—engaging in a course, undertaking placements etc.—eventually produces a social work habitus, as forms of knowledge and understanding about the world of social work (and the wider world within which it is located) are acquired and expressed in ideas and behaviours that are seen as constituting what it means to be a social worker. Bourdieu recognised that, whilst habitus is long-lasting, there are opportunities for movement and change through the process of critical awareness and pedagogic effort, which is crucial for social work education and practice.
What would you say is the most unusual/obscure term in your subject area?
The most obscure entry is 'chaining'. Chaining involves breaking down an activity into a series of small cumulative steps and learning each step, one at a time, until it is thoroughly mastered, before moving on to the next, until the entire activity (or chain) can be carried out. It is an approach often used with people with learning disabilities as a way of their learning daily life skills. A variant is 'backward chaining', a technique in which the steps are mastered in reverse order, so that, for example, if someone were learning to tie shoe laces through backward chaining, the initial stage would be to complete the final step of tightening the completed knot to secure the shoe.
What is the one term or concept that everyone—from students to everyday web users—should be familiar with? Why?
The concept that everyone should be familiar with is 'values'. Professional values underpin all aspects of social work practice. However, statements of professional values often do not reflect the complex and contested nature of social work. For example, there can be an awkward fit between values exhorting social workers to empower people, while they are required to implement policies that maintain forms of social injustice and restrict the use of resources to improve people's lives. Value conflicts also arise from the requirement on social workers to be person-centred, focusing on the interests of the child or adult, when, at the same time, they have to take account of the potentially competing interests and conflicting needs of other family members, the goals of other professionals and agencies, and the interests of their employing organizations.
Social workers constantly have to negotiate and manage such value conflicts. Despite the conflicts and constraints that are an inevitable and intrinsic part of social work, there is much that social workers can do to seek to ensure that their practice upholds social work values. Often this will be achieved in day-to-day encounters with service users but social work's role is also to question and challenge policies and practices that compromise social work values.

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.—Colossians 1:18
It is too bad that anything so obvious should need to be said at this late date, but from all appearances, we Christians have about forgotten the lesson so carefully taught by Paul: God's servants are not to be competitors, but co-workers....
A local church, as long as it is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, cannot entertain the psychology of competition. When it begins to compete with another church, it is a true church of God no longer; it has voided its character and gone down onto a lower level. The Spirit that indwells it is no longer divine; it is human merely, and its activities are pitched on the plane of the natural....
The Holy Spirit always cooperates with Himself in His members. The Spirit-directed body does not tear itself apart by competition. The ambitions of the various members are submerged in the glory of the Head, and whatever brings honor to the Head meets with the most eager approval of the members.
We should cultivate the idea that we are co-workers rather than competitors. We should ask God to give us the psychology of cooperation. We should learn to think of ourselves as being members in particular of one and the same body, and we should reject with indignation every suggestion of the enemy designed to divide our efforts. The Next Chapter After the Last, 56-57.
"Lord, forgive us for the sin of comparison and competition. Replace it in our hearts with a spirit of cooperation as co-workers. May the glory all go to the Head. Amen."
