Lion - Horrible MacBook Pro Battery Life
I called apple, they had me do the "Shift, Control, Option" which worked for one battery cycle. When I charged it again, it would charge to 98% and drain very quickly. I brought it to the Apple store, they looked at me like I was stupid, kept it for a day and said nothing was wrong. Still has terrible battery life, I get about 3 hours.

You are not stupid. The geniuses at Apple stores are. You are not alone on this PROBLEM, and it has been going on for so long (since 2011). Tim Cook has done NOTHING about it. He (Tim Cook) allowed his idiot geniuses at apple stores to provide customers with incorrect, guessed, "that's what the other genius said" solutions. The fact that they don't know why it's doing it and don't know the solution, they should just say "we don't have a solution for this at the moment".
That's me venting!

I'm writing this because I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks from Lion 10.7.6 and my battery life was significantly reduced. I'd upgraded once from Lion to Mountain Lion and encountered the same problem so I downgraded back to Lion.
Anyway, upgrading to Mavericks brought my battery from about 8 hours, a lot of times 9 hours after a full charge and surfing the web down to about 3.5 hours. Big reduction. THEN I tried these three things other people one this forum recommended:
1) I did the Reapir Disk Permissions thing on my hard drive through the Disk Utility App
2) I shut my computer down and did the PRAM reset: shut down then power up and press and hold option, command and the P and R keys before the gray screen appears and kept them held down until the computer restarted AGAIN.
3) Shut down computer again and pressed and held Shift, Control, Option and Power button down FOR MORE THAN 10 seconds. (I emphasize for more than 10 seconds because I'd tried it a couple times before for less than 10 seconds and it didn't seem to work).
Then when I turned on my computer the battery life showed about 6 hours which I hadn't seen since before the upgrade.
Now the percentage is at about 71% and reading about 5 hours remaining as I type this running Chrome.
Hope this helps some of ya'll. I'm greatful for those of you who took the time to list the steps you took to fixing the problem.

I have the same issues. My battery lasts for max 2.5 hours and that is with very light usage. I am using the new Mac Book Pro 13 inch.
Funny I called Apple today and talked to one of their tech people. He seemed to be totally unaware that the 13 inch battery should last for 9 hours... very strange indeed. Anyway went through a number of things with him but did not solve the problem. Will call again tomorrow.

Have followed this thread as an early poster with the significantly decreased battery life after upgrading to Lion. I'm reporting that after upgrading to Mavericks, my battery life is now back to where it was over 2 years ago -- over 5.5 hours on a charge. While that isn't what I had when MBP was new (early 2011) ~7 hours. After Lion, and before Mavericks it was 2 hours tops.
One of the big things I think improved it was a module of Adobe CS3 and CS4. There were a couple library components that were being called at at every start-up and running in the background. Mavericks warned me about it (where Lion never did). I disabled those modules (and removed from library/prefs/adobe) and here I am with much better battery.
I hope that helps others on this thread.

hey, could you please give more specifics. i'm sure we all would love to know exctaly how did it. step by step instructions would be great. thanks

Sure - as best as I can at this point from memory.
1) Standard upgrade to Mavericks from Lion
2) At start-up (before start-up completed), warning/dialogue screen appeared. Don't remember exact wording, but it was to the effect of, "[System trying to start Adobe CS4 library services/extensions/components/preferences . . . ]" or something containing some of those words. My thought was that I didn't want the system starting any services related to apps that I wasn't using at the moment (especially not at start-up).
3) Some web searches led me to these links to disable access to CS4 service extensions
Disable access to CS4 service extensions | System administrator
4) I disabled these extensions as outlined in that article. Note, it requires accessing hidden user library files - which you can do by following instructions here: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later
5) After I did this, I completed the PRAM reset, disk permissions, etc. for good measure. (It never did anything in the past)
After that point, battery life more than doubled to 5-6 hours.
I realize that might not help everyone, but hope it helps a few. If you need to run CS3/CS4 apps, this might not work.
Some additional notes:
- I now use the Adobe Creative Cloud apps. They seems to run fine (without obvious background components running - even when apps not in use).
- Adobe InDesign (CC version) is a battery hog (accoring to Mavericks reporting)
- When I try to launch any of the old CS3 or CS4 versions of Adobe apps, it wants to install a java SE 6 runtime component. (Not the case with new CC versions of the same Apps).
- I suspect the CS3/CS4 components were running the whole time under Lion. Maybe you can follow the same steps in Lion to remove (w/out upgrading to Mavericks).
Last, Mavericks now shows apps that are consuming a lot of power in the battery display (top right of screen). Click on it, and the 3rd line down will inidicate if there is an app that is consuming a lot of power. Many times, it just says, "Calculating Power Usage Information."

Just Do It: A Quick Intro to Agile's Technical Practices
A lot of people think Agile is about working faster, but that really isn't right. It would be more accurate – and perhaps alleviate many of the arguments against agile practices – if we thought of agile as being about working slower because we're being more deliberate. BUT, at the same time getting rid of all the crap that doesn't add value, so that we do, indeed, end up delivering more functionality in a shorter period of time.
I like to think of Agile as the Just Do It methodology. In software development, we're really great at this thing called "yak shaving." If you're not familiar with the term then take a moment to read: So There I Am, Shaving a Yak…. Go ahead, I'll wait. It's really funny, I promise.
"So there I was at the zoo, shaving a yak, all so I could take a few pictures of my dogs at the park." – Bill Gaiennie
A really huge part of yak shaving – at least for me – is trying to figure everything out so that I can make sure I'm going about things the right way. Oh boy, I can plan and research and do proof of concepts like nobody's business. But at the end of the day, I've got a bunch of "stuff" with no actual working software for the app I'm supposed to be building.
Agile instead says "You're never going to know everything about the app until it's already been written. Cope." and instead gives us tools to continue to move forward by focusing on what we do know. And then, a funny thing happens. The more of the application that we build, the more we learn. And so, we're able to move forward, not by focusing our time on what we don't know, but rather by focusing on what we do know and building actual value out of it.

How can I get my baby to nap?
My 3-month-old sleeps through the night just fine, usually eight to ten hours. My problem is that she will only catnap during the day (ten to 30 minutes, two or three times a day). I've tried nursing her to sleep, giving her the pacifier, putting her in a dark room, stroller rides, car rides. Any suggestions?

I'm in the same predicament... My 3 month old girl sleeps through the night but only takes 30-45 minute "cat" naps through out the day. I've been trying to get her on a morning nap routine and have consulted Dr. Weisbluth's book. He suggests an earlier bedtime which I've just started. In addition, he suggests making the window of wakefulness shorter in the morning (i.e. only 1 hour or less vs. 2 hours). Hopefully I'll have some success and will let you know if it works!posted 01/21/2005 by Janet Moga
I am convinced that a baby's naptime has to do with how much he/she needs during that specific developmental stage he/she is in. My 6-mo. old used to only nap for 20 min. at a time and if he woke up by accident, he wouldn't fall back to sleep. Then he started sleeping 30-40 min. at a time and gradually started learning how to fall back to sleep on his own. Lately, he has been napping for about an hour and a half at a time. Maybe he's just getting used to it. I think it's very important to be consistent about having them nap in the same place every day. That way, they'll get used to it and comfortable. My son pretty much communicates to me when he's sleepy and I put him in his crib awake almost immediately (after rocking him and talking softly to him for a couple of minutes to wind him down).posted 01/13/2005 by DRL725
ok my eight month old is not a consistant nap taker. I have literally tried everything and cannot figure out what the heck to do. I put her down the same time every day, same routine... etc.... some days if I am lucky, she will take an afternoon nap for 1-2 hours. Forget the morning nap, she refuses. She doesn't cry, she just wont go to sleep. I even read Healthy sleep habits, happy child, and that just frustrated me even more. Does anyone out there have any answers? Please!!!!!posted 01/11/2005 by sashan1010
My baby is almost 10 months old and sleeps beautifully at night (7:30 to 7:00 on average). Each night we leave her in her crib wide awake and she puts herself to sleep with no crying. Naptime, however, is a different story; she cries histerically as soon as I put her in her crib and I know that she's otherwise comfortable, because she sleeps fine on my chest. It feels like I have tried everything possible to correct this problem yet I continue to be unsuccessful. A few of you have mentioned a book titled "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" and I would like to know if it's really worth buying. I bought Jody Mindell's book and although it did have some good information, overall I found it disappointing. Any suggestions?posted 01/02/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Mt daughter is almost 7 months old and has always been rocked or nursed to sleep. We are trying to teach her how to sooth her self to sleep by putting her down awake. She does alright at night, but cries for 30 minutes or more during the day and I can't take it. I usually go in and get her... does any one have any suggestions on how to get her to sleep aty nap time?posted 12/18/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Jason's Mom, my 4 month old is exactly like yours except he will go down at night by himself. No matter what I do for nap routine, he will only sleep 40 minutes. I'm using Heathly Sleep Habits too, but when he cries it out for an hour he will only sleep 40 minutes again. Let me know how it continues to work for you.posted 12/17/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I'd like to try to put my baby to sleep on his tummy, but he screams and holds his head up (a skill we have been working on so how does he know to put it down now?) :) Does your baby cry at first and then calm down?posted 12/09/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
My baby is 12 weeks now and is still not sleeping through the night per se. He wakes up twice for feedings about every 4 hours, but still not sleeping through the night without waking. He sleeps on his back all night long, although I still swaddle him, which seems to help him go down after each feeding. I don't swaddle him during the day because I don't want to impede his development. He would only catnap during the day when I put him in his crib on his back. So I've found that he really loves to sleep on his stomach for naps. I go in to check on him and have the monitor on the whole time, but I know it is not safe for them to sleep on their tummies, but that's the only way he will ever get any sleep during the day - otherwise he catnaps 10, 20-minutes here and there and is cranky the whole time he's awake. Now we use a sound (sleep) machine that plays white noise, like a constant waterfall, and that works very well - especially since we have two dogs who live in the house. He is usually out for an hour or two.posted 12/07/2004 by relaxnmama
Wow! I am so happy to have found this! (Even if there are no answers, at least we know we're not alone in this!) We are going nuts. Our 4 month old son (3 months gestational) is the same with catnaps (yes, boys have challenges with napping too!)...no matter what we do, he only sleeps 20-30 minutes 2 or 3 times per day and is so cranky as the day goes on! We feel like we've tried everything. He seems to know when it's naptime and won't even let us craddle him in our arms to rock him anymore. He sreams and wiggles. He doesn't fall asleep nursing anymore, and even if he falls alseep in the car - it's only for 20 minutes! He was really hard to put down at night too, and we did Dr. Weissbluth's CIO, and within 4 days, now he only cries for 5 minutes and goes to sleep at 6:30. He does great through the night, waking around midnight when I bring him in bed with me (this solved past problems. we'll get him back in his bed after Thanksgiving traveling) then he sleeps great, waking one more time to eat, then awake at 7:00am. We're now trying the CIO for naps, but it's really hard and so far (only 3 days) isn't working. He cries for 1 hour (it's terrible) then finally falls asleep then still only sleeps for 20 minutes! We let him cry another 30 minutes, but he doesn't go back to sleep. Then it always seems to be time to eat anyway! Then he wants to play, but gets cranky after another few minutes. We're going to try to stick with the CIO. It's hard with the holiday travel, but we figured that he was crying anyway! And the nighttime worked, so we'll see. I know CIO is very hard, but I do have to say it worked so quickly at night. I'll let you know how we do with the naps!posted 11/22/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
My 7 week old little girl can't fall asleep on her own - she has to be rocked or held to fall asleep. My problem is that I can't do this for her - the minute she comes to my arms she thinks it's feeding time again (no matter that she just finished a feed) and when she doesn't get a feed starts bellowing out - only my mum and my husband can put her to sleep. I'm fortunate that my mum has been able to come daily and help me with putting baby to sleep - but it's got to stop - so how can I make my baby feel that I'm more than just the milking machine. When she doesn't want to sleep - she enjoys playing and cooing with me - its at the sleepy time that all our problems start. In the night there's no problem either 'cos she falls asleep during feeds and I just hv to put her down - it's only in the day time that this doesn't work and she declares war on us. Pls advice me on what to do.posted 11/10/2004 by ShaniWN

I always just assumed atheists leaned to the left when it came to politics, but that is just a guess. Since I just found this group I thought I'd ask.
I'm not a far left winger; I'm closer to a progressive, but my views don't always fall strait down party lines (I'm pro death penalty and I'm sure have some other righty views). I feel like I'm standing still and the middle keeps moving farther and farther to the right.
Which way do you lean?

Hello Everyone,
On Saturday my husband and I went to go see a movie, which I took as a perfect opportunity to wear kimono.
I choose my poppies sha komon with orange and white asanoha patterned ro nagoya obi. I had some trouble with accessories because I only have 3 ro obiage, and none of them were the shade I would have ideally liked, so I settled on a white one with multicolored shibori patter. The obijime was a last minute addition. I actually had a different one on, but then I saw the one in the picture and knew it was THE one.
It was a market day, so there were a lot of people around. I was hurrying to the cash machine when I heard someone behind me loudly ask if I was wearing the right geisha shoes with my geisha outfit. I was in a hurry, so I didn't even bother turning around and just said Sure do! Inside I was fuming and wanted to say something not-so-nice along the lines of considering I'm NOT wearing a geisha outfit, I'm damn sure I'm wearing the right shoes for it! But really, people will be ignorant regardless of what I wear or say, I just wish they wouldn't argue so much to prove their point (like insisting that I'm wearing a geisha outfit). It made a fun status update for FB though.
Have you been called geisha lately?

O'Neill suffered a personal loss with the death of his brother the following year. By this time, the playwright had also lost both of his parents. But O'Neill's private struggles seemed to aid him in creating greater dramatic works for the stage, including Desire Under the Elms (1924) and Strange Interlude (1928).
Around this time, O'Neill left his second wife and quickly began a relationship with Carlotta Monterey,
whom he married in 1929.
O'Neill re-imagined the mythic tragedy Oresteia in Mourning Becomes Electra (1931), exchanging ancient Greece for New England in the 19th century. Five years later, he became the first American playwright to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was given this honor "for the power, honesty and deep-felt emotions of his dramatic works, which embody an original concept of tragedy," according to the Nobel Prize website.
Later Years
O'Neill completed Long Day's Journey Into Night in the early 1940s, but he refused to have this autobiographical play produced until long after his death. Around this same time, he had a falling out with daughter Oona; he chose to end his relationship with Oona after she married actor Charlie Chaplin.
After several years' absence from the stage, in 1946, O'Neill returned with one of his most heralded works, The Iceman Cometh, a dark drama that explores the lives of a group of barflies. The following year, the playwright learned that he had Parkinson's disease, and found it impossible to write due to the tremors in his hands.
In 1948, O'Neill, never a supportive parent, cut ties with his youngest son, Shane, after Shane was arrested for drug possession. Two years later, his eldest son, Eugene, committed suicide.
Eugene Gladstone O'Neill died of bronchial pneumonia on November 27, 1953, at the age of 65, in Boston, Massachusetts, leaving behind a tremendous literary legacy of more than 50 plays. In 1957, Long Day's Journey Into Night was performed on Broadway to rave reviews; O'Neill received a posthumous Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize for the drama. His work continues to move and fascinate audiences today.

Every winter my Uncle Bilbert used to go out and buy clothes for his entire hobbit family. I remember the first year I came along with him shopping. His tongue was swollen up so he was unable to speak but my uncle Bilbert was not concerned. He simply took me and my cousins to town and proudly presented his young relatives to the shopkeeper. The wise old clothesmaker just smiled and started taking measurements. After so many years of business he didn't hesitate to in fur my uncle's hobbits.
When Germany and allied states defeat Russia you get to choose between fighting on (15 dissent hit) or accepting defeat. The problem is that through these events Russia becomes a puppet state and Germany has to enter an alliance with Russia. This means that if Russia was also fighting a separate war against Japan, Germany and its allies will be at war with Japan as well.
Russia should sign peace deals before becoming an ally of Germany, and thus throwing it in an unwanted war.
few bugs to report for 1.1
Italian Federation has the habit of attacking the CNT-FAI in the middle of the Spanish civil war.(which I find annoying)
The American civil war needs fixing as in all the games I've played the PSA attacks the USA, (through some event) and normally go's onto annex them. America is then spilt in two between PSA and CSA/AUS and nothing happens. IMHO the PSA Attacking the USA unprovoked is silly. Also some of the events for ASW wouldn't fire for me such as canadian occupation of the panama canal. Which means USA is near to impossible to annex for the AI because of the victory point there.
Also could you make all the surrender events into decisions as i find that the events fire at the most inconvenient times. What you could do is make a decision called redrawing the map of Europe that requires you to own Berlin, Vienna, Rome and so on. When you activate it it triggers all the surrender events.
also Scandinavia formed twice for me and I noticed that they should have a lot more events as they aren't included in the Syndicalist aid programs or other events like the internationals in CoF and UoB
Considering that the latest patch came out shortly after Darkest Hour was released, don't count on any fixes soon.

Guess will try a new game today, with the event file corrected. In my Canada game USA simply crushed both CSA and AUS within a year. I found that barely surprising, seeing they got some 90 base IC after splinter states appeared, while CSA at its peak had 30 base IC and AUS never exceeded 25 base IC...

They don't remember the years when beepers were hip and cell phones were spanking new.
The workers who hired them? Also Millennials. That's right—by 2020, today's young entry-level employees will be tomorrow's middle management, professionals who were nurtured in a digital age where everything—from talking to family, to checking the weather, to sending an important office email—can be done on the go. Where Facebook is important, but face time? Not so much. Their philosophies and practices have changed and will continue to change how we work.
"As the Millennials move into positions of authority, they will change the values of the corporation of the future," says Joyce Gioia, president and CEO of The Herman Group and a management consultant and professional futurist. "They'll transform the whole attitude toward life-work balance. And I intentionally said 'life' first, because this generation puts life first."
"This is a positive influence that the Millennials have had," says Bruce Elliott, manager of compensation and benefits at the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). "More companies now … are starting to offer flexible working schedules, late start, early start, compressed workweeks. I think we're starting to see, and will continue to see, an expansion of these types of programs across the country, and that's actually good news."
"We're becoming a workforce where the amount of time you spend in the [office] chair is not the issue," Gioia adds. "It's the results of the work. It's about what's been achieved."
These days, many professionals regard flexible working schedules as an employee privilege. But according to Elliott, practices like telecommuting and compressed workweeks are actually employee benefits, just the same as health coverage. As such, they're issues that any potential employee, from entry-level to seasoned professional, should feel comfortable negotiating during the hiring process. "When you get to the final round of interviewing with a company, that's when you start looking at office culture or how employers support employee development and work-life balance," he says. "I think all questions about [flexible working programs] are legitimate for an applicant to ask at that stage."
One thing that won't change as rapidly, however, is the economy. If the job market is still in recovery mode, many new professionals will enter the workforce in co-ops and intern placements, but not as full-time, entry-level employees. They might then work six months to a full year before actually receiving a full-time job offer. This could put a kink in some financial plans, but there is an upside: These internships allow young people to acclimate to their prospective working environment. "A lot of organizations will utilize internships and co-ops in the future as a way to bridge the experience gap, and I don't see that trend diminishing in the future," Elliott says.
Comprehensive family leave benefits should become rules and not exceptions. "Sometime in the next 10 years, the United States will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century and offer 12 weeks of paid maternity leave universally," Elliott says. "Although there is substantial expense, it is just inevitable that the U.S. will have to move in that direction. We're the last major industrialized economy to offer them."
Millennials aren't the only generation that will enjoy a more fluid corporate culture. The BLS projects that approximately 25 percent of the labor force will be age 55 and older by 2020. All workers belonging to the Baby Boomer generation will then be at least 56 years old. And according to Elliott, this group of professionals approaching the end of their career will also get to experience some perks of the new workplace norm: "I see an emerging trend in phased retirement," Elliott says. "A number of companies hoping to maintain their older employees are offering phased retirement programs, where workers move into part-time schedules, or working on call, or consultant contracts."
This type of work allows the more mature worker to adjust to having more free hours while still earning a paycheck. And it gives greener employees the chance to learn from a wiser but retiring group of professionals.
Here are just some of the most important benefits for the future workforce:
The convenience of working remotely, away from an office environment, by connecting to an employer's office network.
A telecommuting privilege where workers are permitted to connect to an employer's office network. This term encompasses telecommuting that occurs at home, but is often used to denote working in locales that aren't home or office, such as a cafe, client office, or hotel room.
Working something other than the traditional, corporate daytime, weekday hours of around eight hours a day, 40 hours a week. It could include early start and early finish programs, or compressed workweeks.
An employee completes 80 hours of work for every two weeks, but might schedule more hours in one week than the next. Many companies that utilize this practice institute "core hours" when all employees should be available and working.
Maintaining a traditional eight-hour work day for five days a week, but doing so with flexibility in your arrival and departure times.
Job Sharing
A situation where workers (usually ones working flextime) share the responsibilities normally given to one full-time employee.
Phase-Out or Phase-Back Hours
A temporary alternative work schedule that allows an employee to transition in or out of their usual working schedule. Phase-out privileges are frequently used by soon-to-be new parents preparing for their child, or for soon-to-retire (or quit) workers. Phase-back privileges are often used by parents with young children who are returning to work.

How Beta-Blockers Treat Diastolic Heart Failure - Topic Overview
How beta-blockers work
Beta-blockers are a class of drugs used to control symptoms of heart failure that are made worse by certain hormones called catecholamines. The body releases these hormones as part of its response to heart failure. For this and other reasons, beta-blockers have been shown to be effective for treating most people who have heart failure.
Beta-blockers have a variety of effects throughout the body. They are used to treat heart disease that causes chest pain, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and cardiomyopathy and irregular, rapid heartbeats (arrhythmia). Beta-blockers are also used to prevent migraine headaches, treat tremors, and control anxiety.
Living With Advanced Heart Failure
There's no cure for congestive heart failure -- not yet anyway. But if you or a loved one is among the 5.8 million Americans living with heart failure, even if it's advanced, you should know that simple self-care measures can effectively help curb fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and other symptoms. In addition to improving their quality of life, heart failure patients who practice good self-care are less likely to wind up in the hospital. "Heart failure is a progressive disease, but the...
Read the Living With Advanced Heart Failure article > >
- Beta-blockers may work by slowing the heart rate, which allows the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) to fill more completely.
- Some of these medicines may also help open or widen blood vessels in the body. This makes them especially useful in some people with certain forms of heart failure who may also have high blood pressure.
Bisoprolol, carvedilol, and metoprolol are some of the beta-blockers that have been tested for use in the treatment of heart failure.
Why beta-blockers are used
With diastolic heart failure, the heart does not have enough time to relax and fill with blood before pumping it out to the rest of your body. Beta-blockers help treat diastolic heart failure because they slow the heart rate and allow more time for your heart to fill with blood. Then, your heart can pump more blood with each heartbeat.
How well beta-blockers work
Certain beta-blockers have been shown to:1
- Improve the percentage of blood pumped from the left ventricle with each heartbeat (ejection fraction).
- Reduce the need for hospital stays.
- Slow the progression of heart failure.
- Reduce the risk of death caused by heart attack and heart failure.
Side effects of beta-blockers
Beta-blockers may sometimes cause a drop in blood pressure when a person stands up (orthostatic hypotension), resulting in dizziness and, rarely, fainting.
If you have diabetes and take beta-blockers, watch your blood sugar levels closely to prevent low-sugar episodes (hypoglycemia). For some people, beta-blockers can hide symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Beta-blockers may also slightly increase cholesterol levels.
Other less common side effects
- Slow heartbeats (bradycardia)
- Fluid buildup in the face, hands, legs, and feet
- Listlessness
- Fatigue
- Increased wheezing in people with asthma
- Cold hands and feet
What to think about
The effect of beta-blockers may depend on the dosage used. A lower dose may have a different effect than a higher dose. Beta-blocker therapy is typically started at a low dose and increased slowly over time.
It may take a few months to see the effects of beta-blocker medicine.
Beta-blockers have been used for many years to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
