At Tanner, we believe that fast results mean less stress for our patients. Whatever the test or procedure, you'll learn the results from a medical professional as soon as possible—often in hours, depending on the test. That way, you can get on with your life or begin important cancer treatments.
A number of different tests and procedures help Tanner's physicians and oncologists diagnose breast problems or breast cancer. These include:
A biopsy is the removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope to check for signs of cancer. If a lump in the breast is found, the doctor may need to cut out a small piece of the lump. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells.
The types of biopsies include:
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DEXA, is the most common method to measure a patient's bone density. A DEXA scanner is a machine that produces two X-ray beams, each with different energy levels. One beam is high energy while the other is low energy. The amount of X-rays that pass through the bone is measured for each beam. Based on the difference between the two beams, the bone density can be measured. A low bone density may indicate osteoporosis—a degenerative bone condition that can cause bones to become weak and fracture easily.
This text measures the amount of estrogen and progesterone receptors in cancer tissue. If cancer is found in the breast, tissue from the tumor is examined in the laboratory to find out whether estrogen and progesterone could affect the way cancer grows. The test results show whether hormone therapy may stop the cancer from growing.
A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breasts used to detect and diagnose breast diseases. Mammography is a very safe procedure that used low doses of radiation to produce high-quality X-ray images. Screening mammography is used as a preventive measure for women who have no symptoms of breast disease. A screening mammogram usually involves two views of each breast.
Diagnostic mammography involves additional views of the breast, and is used when an abnormality is found during screening, or in women who have breast complaints such as a breast mass, nipple discharge, breast pain or skin irritation.
Screen-film mammography vs. digital mammography:
The American Cancer Society recommends that all women should have a baseline screening mammogram between the age of 35 and 40, and that beginning at the age of 40 women should have an annual screening mammogram. In addition to an annual screening for women 40 and older, women with certain risk factors should discuss an appropriate screening program with their physicians.
Call 770.836.9721 now to schedule a screening.
Sentinel node mapping is a procedure that maps how cancer might be spreading through the lymph nodes. Through a radioactive tracer and/or use of dye, surgeons can identify and remove the primary nodes that could carry cancerous cells to the rest of the body.
An ultrasound is a test that uses high frequency sound waves to produce an image of the body part being scanned. Ultrasound is accomplished by moving a small instrument over the area to be examined, which may be the abdomen, breast or other areas of the body. The instrument emits sound waves that reflect off of the body's tissues at different rates, creating an image of the internal structures of the body.

I think the place is great as is, but there is always room for improvement and it sounds like you guys have a solid grasp of what you would like to accomplish. I am looking forward to see your plans implemented.
With Mists of Pandaria on the horizon, it's time to start tidying things up around TankSpot. Part of that means giving the forums some much-needed tuning. One of the biggest bits of negative feedback we receive here is that the forums aren't exactly intuitive -- it can be difficult to figure out exactly where your post belongs, and difficult to find the kind of discussion you're looking for. That also has the effect of stifling discussion when your post doesn't get as much visibility as it should.
So, we've been brainstorming a bit, and sometime in the near future (ideally this week) we'll be rolling up our sleeves and getting to work on a forum-wide streamlining. But before we get cracking, we'd like to hear your feedback! Here's what we've got in mind, and why:
Forums being MERGED:
One of the biggest issues we face right now is that discussion on certain topics can be somewhat spread out. For example, if I'm looking for discussion on Protection Warrior tanking in Dragon Soul, there's upwards of 6 different forums I could potentially find that in. Having multiple forums on similar topics is okay in moderation, but it's a bit excessive around here. So we're going to start off by merging a few forums together:
The current setup here is a bit confusing. A topic about Ret Paladin BiS gearing should go in the DPS forum, but it also seems like it could belong in Gear & Enchanting Discussion (after all, it's a discussion about gear). It also seems a bit odd that a site called "TankSpot" would have a specific place to discuss DPS and Healing, but not a specific place to discuss Tanking. So we're going to merge those two forums together to create a place that's clearly marked for tanking discussion.
- Theory & Mechanics Discussion and Gear & Enchanting Discussion will become Tanking Discussion. Any threads that are still active but not relevant to tanking will be moved to the appropriate DPS or Healing forums.
This is pretty much just forum bloat. The Guild Relations podcast hasn't been a thing in ages, so it doesn't really need its own forum anymore. Guild Leadership and Raid Leadership, although slightly different topics, are still very closely related to the point that they should be able to get along just fine in the same forum.
- Guild Relations Podcast, Guild General, and Raid Leadership & Management will become Guild & Raid Management Discussion.
On top of these changes, we'll also be moving a few forums around to try to keep similar topics more consolidated. Part of the reason Guild General and Raid Leadership & Management haven't been getting much discussion is they're buried away down at the bottom of the page. Things are just generally disorganized, and we'll be cleaning that up a bit.
Forums being LOCKED and ARCHIVED:
We have several forums that are no longer particularly relevant and are unlikely to see any new discussion, but are still good to keep around (even if just for nostalgia purposes). These forums will be placed in their own separate subheader called "The TankSpot Archives", which will be placed near the bottom of the forums listing and locked (so that no new posts or replies can be made).
These should be relatively straightforward. The beta environment is very different from live, so we'd like to see those discussions start fresh. Note that these forums will not be archived until MoP release is imminent, to avoid cutting off discussion too early.
- All of the current forums under the heading "Tankspot Strategy" will be merged into "Cataclysm Raiding" and "Cataclysm General", locked, and archived.
- Mists of Pandaria Discussion will be renamed Mists of Pandaria Beta Discussion, locked, and archived.
Our "Critical" guides and articles haven't been critical for quite some time. It's time to put these to rest. For the time being, guides and articles will belong in their appropriate Tanking, DPS, and Healing forum. We may end up giving guides and articles their own place again, but it will probably be as an offshoot of the Tanking/DPS/Healing forums and not as its own separate thing.
- Tankspot's Critical Guides & Articles Library will be locked and archived. Any up to date and relevant guides will be moved to the appropriate Tanking, DPS, and Healing forums.
Forums being DELETED:
The only forums being flat-out removed are the international discussion forums (the Spanish, German, and Korean forums). One glance at them should probably tell you why... they're just not being used. Furthermore, we don't have the resources to properly support non-English speaking communities on TankSpot. We'd rather see those players visit another site that can better serve them than give them a half-assed experience here.
NEW forums being ADDED:
This is a bit loose at the moment and we very well may end up adjusting how this works, but we'd like to avoid ending up with 5 different forums for strategy, most of which are dead by the time the expansion ends (the last post in the T11 forum was almost a year ago, for example). The challenge lies in figuring out how many forums are necessary. We'll be keeping a close eye on the Strategy forums and responding to community needs. Maybe, for example, we start getting a whole bunch of discussion about scenarios. At that point we can consider either opening up a new forum for scenarios, or folding it in with 5-mans and challenge modes, or perhaps something else entirely. We'll have to play that by ear a bit, but this should be a decent starting point.
- Tankspot Strategy -> Mists of Pandaria Raids
- Tankspot Strategy -> Mists of Pandaria 5-Mans & Challenge Modes
- Tankspot Strategy -> Mists of Pandaria General Strategy (quests, achievements, pet battles, scenarios, etc)
We'll also be adding a new forum specifically for our authors (the helpful fellows with the green names) to work on new articles and guides, get help from each other, and generally just discuss things related to authorship. In fact, we're working on a few new things to help our authors out a bit more (and encourage new authors!). I'll have more details on that in another update soon.
I feel pretty confident that these changes will help quite a bit as our community continues to grow moving into the expansion. But like I said before, we'd love your feedback! Let us know what you think, and I'll try to respond to any questions or concerns you may have.
I think the place is great as is, but there is always room for improvement and it sounds like you guys have a solid grasp of what you would like to accomplish. I am looking forward to see your plans implemented.
I like that you're abolishing the theroy, ect. sections and moving all relevant articles into the healing/tanking/dps formus. In the past it has been somewhat dificult in certain cases to find information on a specific class just by searching the forums, which has lead to a lot of repetitive posting on the HALP forum. Idk how many times I had to explain the basiscs of CTC over the course of Cataclysm.
Lore are we getting more/faster boss guides? Specially for heroic modes?
Just because this site is called tankspot does not mean it is a site for the dicussion of tanks. This is a World of Warcraft fan site for pretty much all things World of Warcraft.
I think regarding the class forums mentioned above, this idea is not so good. You either want 1 forum for each class, or 1 forum for each role, not both. On other WoW sites that I visit, the class discussion seems to work best. This is due to so many people using their Dual Specs now that it is a good idea to have all Paladin related stuff under 1 Paladin forum. It is better than having to visit a Tank Forum to discuss Paladin Tanking and a DPS forum to discuss DPS etc.
Also, this may just be me being blind, but an easy obvious way to edit posts would be good too.
Editing in the news section is not possible, if I recall. That would be why you don't see it.

So, regarding class vs role forums. I feel role-specific forums make a lot more sense than class-specific for a few reasons. One is in numbers: 3 different forums vs 10. We're trying to reduce forum bloat, not add to it.
There's also an issue of organization. There are many more topics that spread across multiple classes in the same role than there are topics that spread across multiple specs of different roles in the same class. So for example, both Protection Warriors and Blood Death Knights might be interested in a discussion about flasking vs using dual elixirs. All healing classes would probably be interested in a discussion about properly rotating raid cooldowns. There's also a much higher chance of someone from another class being able to chime in with useful info: I play a Prot Paladin, not a Guardian Druid, but I still might have some good input on when it makes sense to stack stamina vs avoidance.
It's much harder to find topics that are interesting to multiple specs of the same class and ONLY that class (ie: something that would not be better off in a role-specific forum anyway). And although I do play a Paladin, I'm not likely to be much help at all in (or interested in reading) a Holy discussion. Essentially, there's much fewer "useless" topics for me if I'm hanging out with other tanks than if I'm hanging out with other Paladins.
In the event that there just turns out to be too much discussion for 3 forums to handle, we'll look into splitting things down further. That's something we'll take care of if and when it becomes an issue. We need to build the discussion first, then expand to accomodate it.
I'd assume relevant guides (the sort of thing that would have Guardian Druid stat weights) would also remain stickied in the newly-appropriate forums.

Sure there would be more pages, but the organization that would come from it would better streamline it. I was thinking first, where would disc priests go if the forums are based on role? Granted, after thinking about it, it seems disc may be the exception, not the rule. I'll admit though, I have found myself researching more and more at other sites because of that type of organization. It's much easier to navigate a site when you can clearly see which way to go.
I like the idea of classes being a subgroup to roles. This way, it's easy to find the answers your looking for when researching a specific class, however you'll still have the role forum to allow members to converse with others of the same role, regardless of class. Sure, it's more pages and yes, more work, but I think the organization of it would be worth it.
Just my 2¢
There doesn't seem to be nearly enough traffic to justify class-specific forums. The decision to have a "tanking" forum seems good enough, there's a need to keep it simple with the current posts-per-day. I'm sure if there's a reason to further extrapolate, it can be observed and addressed later. None of these changes have to be "forever". If it doesn't work it doesn't work, but at least give it a go.
Am I looking for/asking about something related to healing? Healing forums
Am I looking for/asking about something related to DPS? DPS forums
Am I looking for/asking about something related to tanking? Tanking forums
The biggest issue is that class forums don't properly cover everything. We'd still need tanking/dps/healing forums either way. So we're gonna try it out with just the role forums and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, cool, we'll figure something else out.
Also, it it comes that traffic becomes dastardly and we hear a lot of complaints, nothing stops us from adding the subforums afterwards.
It's just that, right now, there doesn't seem to be any worth in putting the forums in subclasses. That may change; and if it does, we can alter it to accomodate this.

Zelenka: Sacred Music
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55424
Movement 1: Invitatorium Regem, cui omnia vivunt
Movement 2: Nocturn 1 Lectio 1 Parce mihi, Domine
Movement 4: Nocturn 1 Lectio 2 Taedet animam vitae meae
Movement 6: Nocturn 1 Lectio 3 Manus tuae fecerunt me
The Invitatorium (the invitation addressed to the faithful to take part in the Divine Office remembering the dead) gives a powerful impression of Zelenka's choral style, presenting a unique mixture of modern, dramatic gestures of harmony, dynamics and scoring with elements of the old-fashioned writing for which Prince Friedrich August had shown such disdain. Multi-sectional, the work is, from its opening sforzando 'stabs' and rolling arpeggios from the muted strings, predominantly dark and unsettled in mood, lightened only by the emergence in triple metre of two other-worldly flutes. The instrumental elements are mixed with passages of extended accompanied semi-recitative for the alto soloist and interpolations from the chorus. Zelenka also includes an all-too-brief depiction of the raging of the sea, wonderfully scored, and before the final section a plainsong statement of the Requiem chant.

Jennifer Aniston Gossip
News, gossip, commentary, and opinion including photos and video about Jennifer Aniston.
Jen wants an Oscar too!
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash
I mean if Matthew McConaughey can win an Oscar… Jennifer Aniston is currently at work on an independent film called Cake. Do you remember her in The Good Girl? People lost their sh-t over that movie because she wore minimal makeup and her hair was short. I was like, that's just Rachel with short hair. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: BumpWatch #176
Tatiana Kevych/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux stepped out together in New York last night holding hands. So, now that breakup speculation is out of the way, it's time to wonder – yet again – if she's pregnant. Because she wore a loose sweater and her bag was in front of her midsection. Full Story
Stay another year
Jackson Lee/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux stepped out together in New York yesterday and this is supposed to be a big deal because they hadn't been papped as a couple for a while, leading to speculation that it was over. There were also those who were convinced of it when Aniston didn't join Theroux while he was mourning Philip Seymour Hoffman but that, to me, was more about not wanting to be the asshole with all the attention at the wrong time. Full Story
Is 45 a milestone?
Wenn, Allan Bregg/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston turned 45 yesterday. She was reportedly in LA. Her fiancé Justin Theroux was in New York shooting his TV show. Is that problem? Is 45 a milestone? Jacek and I have spent birthdays apart. His birthday is a particularly tricky time because the Juno Awards always happen around his birthday and for years, I was assigned to go. Full Story
A wounded heart for Gwyneth?

I wrote about Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin at the Golden Globes yesterday – click here if you missed it. In short, she had a busy Globe weekend and also attended the same party as Winona Ryder, OMG. That party was Sean Penn's Haiti fundraiser. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It's January 7. Since 2005, I've done this almost every year on January 7. You know, right? Of course you do. Nine years ago on January 7 I was getting ready for holiday. Late in the day, when everyone had packed it in for the weekend, they dropped their bomb. I remember it around 5pm PT. It was huge. You can't exaggerate it. How can you exaggerate it when we're STILL talking about it almost a decade later? Jacek understood that day that we had to modify our trip to account for the reporting that necessarily had to follow in the wake of such a major story.
For a while when she as with Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston used to wear these orange-red hiking pants that I loved and looked all over for. I never did find an exact match. Back then she was also really into thong bikinis. I remember seeing pap shots taken of them at their house, in 1998, the tabloids reporting that they'd moved in together. Read Full Intro
Friends in green bikinis
Clasos.com.mx / Splash News, Premiere /4CRNS/ FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are approaching 2014 in Cabo. Yesterday they both wore green bikinis. Jen hydrated with SmartWater. She wrapped her arms around her still-fiance at one point. Perhaps she was congratulating him on finding another pair of shorts. Anyway, here, enjoy the bikini shots. Full Story
Jen & Friends: NYE 2013
4CRNS /Premiere /FAMEFLYNET, Clasos.com.mx /Splash News
It's an annual tradition: Jennifer Aniston and her friends hop a private jet to Cabo where they welcome the new year in bikinis. Actually, everyone else is in traditional swimwear but Justin Theroux prefers black cut-off jeans. This time there's no John Krasinski or Emily Blunt, who is pregnant. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Today is Brad Pitt's 50th birthday. Conveniently Troy was on TV last night. Not going to lie – the only reason I stayed up watching it, enduring it (because it's actually terrible), is to see his love scene with Rose Byrne, who was practically a different person back then. Brad Pitt doesn't do love scenes that way anymore. Not unless they're with the Jolie.
Some Gossip Nostalgia to start the day -- Troy is what Pitt was working on just before he turned 40 while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. The film went on to screen at Cannes which is where this photo was taken – one of the most famous pictures of them together, face to face, smiling, seemingly invulnerable. It was May. Pitt had already been shooting Mr & Mrs Smith for 3 months. Read Full Intro
GOOP's holiday friends
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston hosted a holiday party at her home in Bel Air last night and a lot of famous people showed up including Robert Downey Jr with wife Susan, Tobey Maguire with wife Jennifer Meyer, Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler, and the Paltrow-Martins, Gwyneth and Chris. As we wait for the Vanity Fair hit piece on Gwyneth that might never materialise, well, evenings like these could explain why. Full Story
Jennifer & Justin make the holidays
There have been a lot of rumours moving around lately about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. Several tabloids are making calls almost daily trying to find out if they're still together. And not just STAR Magazine either. The celebrity-friendly ones are sniffing it out too. Because there's been some talk that they might not make it to marriage. Full Story
Mic pack or baby?
Jennifer Aniston made a surprise appearance at the television academy's evening honouring director James Burrows last night. (Thanks Robynn for sending this over!) As you know, US Weekly reported that Jen is pregnant and then Jen's publicist Stephen Huvane, who has been called out on several occasions by US Weekly for being full of sh-t, denied that Jen is pregnant and, as I wrote here Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: No signs of pregnancy
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Jennifer Aniston hit up the spa the other day in a really good outfit – good hat, good shirt, good shoes. I'll try to zoom that sh-t as much as possible so that you can fully eyeball the pregnancy region. If you recall, US Weekly is claiming she's pregnant and won't confirm until the 6th month. Full Story
Jen's denials
US Weekly's new cover is a pregnancy announcement for Jennifer Aniston. As reported yesterday, she's supposedly not formally confirming until 6 months. As expected, the story was the major headline yesterday. We opened with it on The Social and many audiences cheered – it's like we all have an investment in Jen's uterus. Full Story

Vertu-alised Android revealed at an all-too-real €7,900
Vertu, the luxury phone brand Nokia last year sold to a private outfit EQT, has revealed its first Android-powered smartphone. The €7,900 ($US10,624 or £6,778) handset runs Ice Cream Sandwich, aka Android 4.0, boasts a "sapphire screen" said to be astoundingly scratch resistant and "four times stronger than other smart phones in …
$200 last-gen phone, covered with expensive crap
Yup, sounds like Vertu to me.
The sort of people who pay stupid amounts of money to make their average phone look pretty sound like the type of people who pay stupid amounts of money to make their average girlfriend look pretty. As such, a casino sounds like the perfect place to sell them.
And still...
...it has less than 12 hours of useful battery life...
$10,600 = 53 x $200
That's 53 seperate instances of the horse trampling on your phone before the thing breaks even.
Pun intended.
Seriously, for someone that accident-prone, they're better off spending the $10,600 on phone insurance.
Alternatively, even at $800 per phone, $10,600 is an upgrade* plan to last next decade.
*excluding iPhones, of course, as that would be a 'downgrade' given their current plan of bringing to market old tech at new tech prices, like the i5.
Re: $10,600 = 53 x $200
Surely they would be better spending $1000 ona shotgun and shooting the horse.
Also make some money back flogging the carcass* to Tesco.
*Insert flogging dead horse pun here
Re: $10,600 = 53 x $200
If your horse steps on your phone 53 times, maybe it's trying to tell you something.
Re: $200 last-gen phone, covered with expensive crap
They're hand made in the UK. So those thinking we can make phones here cheaply should take note.
Re: $10,600 = 53 x $200
It's telling you that it wants to pursue an exciting opportunity in the pre-packaged food industry
Surely one has flunkies to pay for ones purchases
coat - one was wearing the ermine robe
Re: NFC??
I think in this instance NFC = No Fucking Clue
"can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
There must be something missing in this sentence. I'm pretty sure that most phones will survive having a 110-gram ball bearing dropped on them.
Re: "can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
And even if they couldn't, you could just buy a new phone. You'd have to be pretty unlucky and have 20 such ball strikes within the space of 2 years for this to be a remotely justifiable reason to buy.
Re: "can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
a remotely justifiable reason
I deal with people like this. The idea of having to justify a purchase in any way, shape or form is a tad alien to them. They take the term "impulse buying" to a whole new stratosphere.
Re: "can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
"There must be something missing in this sentence"
Like what HEIGHT it was dropped from. I pretty certain most things would stand it being dropped 0.01mm
Re: "can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
The scientific illiteracy continues with '50kg of pressure'.
Re: "can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
You're being to hard on the poor writers, it's not like there's a vast resource of free reference (copy and paste) material at their finger tips. </sarcasm>
Illiteracy aside, if the "50kg of pressure" is taken as the "arts major translation" of kgf/cm^2 then this is a pretty bold claim (that's roughly the total pressure at an ocean depth of 500m).
Attention stupid rich people
Please form an orderly queue for your overpriced slab of ugly.
<probably mistaken pedant>
Hang on.
500NM as a force? The N is a force (Newtons), no idea what the M is. perhaps they mean it's a pressure and measured in Nm^-2 ?
And 50kg of pressure? That's just a mass, right? It's not a pressure until it becomes a force (add gravity?) and you say how much it is concentrated over an area?
However, every day is a school day, there's probably some internationally-recognised shorthand going on here. The kind that I'm kept out of the loop on. On purpose. Bastards.
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
Aha, gotcha. Needs a little 'm' though. Crikey, that article is a tragedy of units.
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
NM = torque, so presumably they mean you can use it as a really short lever?
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
"That's quite a lot, I think an Armalite bullet is around 200J."
I think you might be a little out there. I've no idea what the bullet weight is but at (say) 800m/s and a weight of say 50g I'd make the kinetic energy ~2500J
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
"NM = torque, so presumably they mean you can use it as a really short lever?"
It's both torque and energy and it should be Nm BTW
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
"at (say) 800m/s and a weight of say 50g I'd make the kinetic energy ~2500J"
Isn't kinetic energy 1/2 m v^2? In which case your assumptions should make it 1/2 * 0.05kg * (800 m/s)^2 = 16kJ
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
Nm is the unit for torque and it's being used to describe how stiff the case is to flexion i.e. they twist it with a force of 500Nm and the corner moves less than 1mm.
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
But what is that in blue whales?
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
"at (say) 800m/s and a weight of say 50g I'd make the kinetic energy ~2500J"
You are quite right - my fault - I'd done the calculation using several different values and scrambled the results when posting a little later. Certainly a LOT more than 200J though.
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
I suspect that when they're talking about 500J merely deforming the case, they mean as long as that is distributed over the casing. e.g. as per the horse's hoof alluded to.
I'll bet your Armalite round still goes straight through one, partly because all its "oof" is concentrated in one place, but mostly because a bit of checking reveals that the Winchester .308 round used in the civilian Armalite packs 1,947 foot/pounds, which is about 2600 joules.......
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
You are right; I had a decimal point in the wrong place, which will teach me to try to do rough conversions between American and world units in my head.
It looks like this phone only needs to survive a pistol shot. Disappointing, but may tell us something about its target market.
Re: <probably mistaken pedant>
may tell us something about its target market.
Target on shooting ranges?
Way-out hypothesis
Perhaps the average readership of the Reg is not the target market for this device?
(Not that that should stop anyone being scornful of people with more money than sense, and the marketing drones who draw them in like ants to honey.)
Re: Way-out hypothesis
It's not for us, it's for Russian politicians. Move on.
http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2012/6/7/vladimir-putins-watch-collection-worth-six-years-of-his-decl.html [Putin's watch collection worth six years of his declared income]
I get the impression that it is not a good idea to mock Mr Putin, for any reason.
Oh, not sure sure about the phrase about sapphire being "said to be very scratch resistant". Is is. The only way you're likely to scratch it is if you let you trophy girlfriend handle it when she's wearing daimond rings, or if you've just done some DIY with a diamond cutting disk and the dust has got in your pocket. Sapphire is routinely grown for watch crystals.
Not a nice looking phone
Normally, I regard the Vertu as a phone for people with more money than sense. In this instance, I think we can safely replace sense with taste.
I used to work in Mayfair and there was a shop next to our offices that sold stuff that you could never imagine needing to people with more money than sense or taste. My favourite items were mobile phone covers (this is in 2000, so we're talking Nokia, Motorola, etc). How about one covered in black diamonds for £36,000? The best thing was that each was made for a specific model of phone, so when you wanted to change your phone, you just chucked the case and presumably purchased a new one.
It's not the phone - it's the concierge service
Vertu's cost is mostly for the Concierge Service, essentially a personal butler available on-demand and with access to tickets/venues/clubs/services that you'd otherwise either not be able to secure or have to pay a hell of a lot more for.
Still, as Magnus presciently noted above, maybe Reg techies are not quite their main demographic.
Re: It's not the phone - it's the concierge service
There are lots of services like that, some which come free with high end credit cards. No reason to be tied to some substandard spec phone in a bling case.
Re: It's not the phone - it's the concierge service
I believe the Concierge service is free for the first year, then is paid for in future years. The base phone is Titanium and sapphire guys! It's not for everyone, but these are not disposable phones. Ok, even if they last 10 years (which they do - see amount of early Signature phones still in service) they are still expesive. But so is a Porsche or Ferrari.
If you want a Focus, fine, they both do the job, I just know which I'd prefer if I had tthe money..
Not the first smartphone
Not the first smartphone they've done. Though if you consider only Android and iOS to be valid smartphone operating systems, then yes you could say that. They've been doing Symbian based smartphones for a while. First was essentially based on the Nokia E72 and then there was a touch screen Symbian flavour model.
The big thing here is the break from Nokia. Here we have an Android phone from a former Nokia company. Elop should keep a close eye on this.
Re: Not the first smartphone
IIRC Nokia still own 10% of Vertu, so it's still a little bit Nokia :)
Now it is Android's turn to be overpriced crap.
"can survive a strike from a 110-gram ball bearing"
But will it blend..?
Even if I were rich enough...
...to afford this ugly slab of ugliness, I think I'd still "slum it" with my Galaxy Note II.
Did I mention it was FUGLY? Like REALLY FUGLY? It's like the designer went on a 1980's design course, realised he was in the 2000's, and this was the best he could come up with given the knowledge he had. I mean look at how FAT it is!
It's also probably less advanced in the materials department compared to say a HTC One X - forgetting the screen durability.
And it still crashes,freezes and lets in too much malware....all the money in the world couldn't.......

In all honesty, 16k with your gear is not bad at all. Hunters are in kind of a weird place at your gear level; right now you need haste and crit more than mastery. Also, I'd go for the 365 crafted polearm over the two pieces you have on now, the expertise, as you probably know does nothing for you (until MoP) until you can get the staff off Well of Eternity or the lfr Madness Polearm. Once you get the four piece tier you can basically reforge out of all your haste and into crit and mastery.
Your spec is a bit off. Point of No Escape is kind of useless and three points in One with Nature is overkill. You want points in Careful Aim. I prefer Serpent Sting, Kill Shot and Explosive Shot as my primary glyps (Kill Shot over Arcane Shot, but either is fine once you gear up).
What I found at lower gear levels is that using Kill Command over Arcane Shot as my focus dump was a dps improvement, once I got my 4 piece, Arcane Shot did better.
www.icy-veins.com is a good site to explore, it's very helpful.
Also, what's your rotation?
This is my hunter http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...harfrat/simple his talents and glyph are pretty standard.
I use a wolf as my pet, but that's 'cause it's been with me since I made this toon oh so long ago; but I will use my rare lion at times.

Question: does Mulberry deliberately send out show invitations only to those celebrities whose names would be perfect for christening the Brit brand's next big It bag? This morning's FROW included Gemma (Arterton), Rebecca (Hall), Rosamund (Pike), [superstylist] Leith (Clark), and Kirsten (Dunst) - all of them great names for a Mulberry bag. A pretty stellar FROW line-up for the label - possibly its starriest so far, and straight afterwards, a repeat presentation drew Karen Gillan, Benedict "Sherlock Holmes" Cumberbatch and even sometime Burberry "face" Douglas Booth.
But, as it turned out, today's show wasn't about the FROW. And for once, it wasn't even about the bags (lovely as they all were). Nope, the A/W '11 Mulberry presentation was all about the clothes.
First of all, you should know the inspiration for the show was The Fantastic Mr. Fox. The catwalk was surrounded by woodland scenery - trees, birds, toadstools - magical. The venue, Claridges ballroom, was filled with tweety birdsong. And there were red jacketed fox hunters handing out blackberry and apple juice drinks. And just to add to the woodland theme, the rows were labelled by animals, not numbers - Foxes for the front row, Hedgehogs for the second etc. It felt a bit like being in the Brownies.
For next season, Mulberry has a great silhouette - maxi skirts and dresses with a flouncey hem under pocketed, belted jackets, or high-waisted jodpur-tight trousers with knee high boots, all in an autumnal palette of khakis, aubergine, greys and browns. Skirts were pleated and maxi long; or there were box pleated A-line miniskirts or cullottes. One look, a CND symbol embossed black pleated maxi skirt, worn under a belted pocketed leather jacket is going to be all over the street style blogs next winter. And those tan knee high boots are going to be top of every wishlist by Autumn (we just remembered how much they stretch your legs especially over skinny trousers), although the Jade green patent wedge heel knee ankle and knee high boots may be too out-there for those of us who aren't Nicki Minaj.
A Sixties-style box-pleat A-line printed miniskirt, worn with a lilac ribbed poloneck and what can only be described as Denise Richards' hair, looked cute and fresh along with knee high boots. Can Mulberry make pastel-coloured ribbed polonecks cool? Our bet is "yes" - next season, Mulberry can make anything cool.
To hear exclusively from Mulberry's Creative Director Emma Hill about the Brit label's It bag of Autumn/Winter 2011 - tune into Grazia TV right here on Grazia Daily tomorrow am!

text: Quote:...On the run here, but I think the chock exerts a normal force on each wall of the crack of F/(2sin a), where F is the load and a is the chock angle, measured from the vertical. (I'm assuming a straight-sided chock and crack perfectly matched to it, of course.)This will, in general, be less than what you get with a cam. For example, in order for the normal force on one wall to be double the load, you'd need a chock angle around 14 degrees. I don't know what the actual angles are, but I think they're less than 14 degrees for most sizes.

"perfect choice"
By Regina Hazlinger
Comments: This business card case looked so nice, especially because it was engraved. Not only was the case really nice looking, but the engraving was so inexpensive and the overall value was amazing compared to other places when you consider the cost of engraving at most places. I was extremely satisfied with the result and was proud to give this item as a gift.
"card holder"
By Dianne Stelly
Comments: I bought a business card holder with name engraved and it looks great. Very happy with it and can't wait to present it to my friend.
"Sleek and Professional"
By Norma
Comments: Really liked how these turned out with personalization - gave them as company gifts. Other reviewers are correct, a bit of fingerprint smudging, but not a big deal. Look really classy.
"Business Card Holder - Great Deal"
By C S
Comments: I purchased this as a gift and not only is it functional, it's very professional and sleek looking! Be aware, however, on the shiny parts of the case, you can see fingerprints, but it's not that big of a deal.
"Sleek and Professional Metal Business Card Holder"
By Carrie Seymour
Comments: The business card holder is very sleek and professional looking. It arrived about week and a half earlier than I expected and works perfectly for my fiance's business cards. It fits nicely in his suit pockets and briefcase. The dual tone metal looks great, however, be mindful of fingerprints on the shiny part. He was very happy for this gift and we both think it is quite an impressive-looking business card holder.

Handel: Music for royal occasions
CDA66315 Archive Service
Movement 1: We praise thee, O God
James Bowman (countertenor), John Mark Ainsley (tenor), Michael George (bass), New College Choir Oxford, The King's Consort, Robert King (conductor)
Movement 2: The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee
John Mark Ainsley (tenor), New College Choir Oxford, Michael George (bass), The King's Consort, Robert King (conductor)
Movement 3: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man

Movement 4: Day by day we magnify thee
Movement 5: Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin
Movement 6: O Lord, in thee have I trusted
The 'Queen Caroline' Te Deum was performed twice that year, first on September 26, and then again on October 17. It too looks back to Purcell in some of its construction, particularly the 'Vouchsafe' which has much in common with Purcell's own 1694 setting of the same text. (Handel, though rude about many of his contemporaries, revered Purcell: at a performance of Jephtha he countered a remark that a passage reminded one of the listeners of Purcell with 'If Purcell had lived, he would have composed better music than this'). But Handel's Te Deum also shows the influence of the opera (in which he was already proving a great success), particularly in the tenor aria 'The glorious company', and the lyrical aria for alto and solo flute 'When thou tookest upon thee'.

/ Environmental Quality Incentives Program
Loading Tree...
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a voluntary conservation program. It supports production agriculture and environmental quality as compatible goals. Through EQIP, farmers may receive financial and technical help with structural and management conservation practices on agricultural land.
EQIP in New Hampshire offers financial assistance for estimated costs incurred for conservation practices. Payments may also be made to encourage a farmer to adopt land management practices, such as nutrient management, manure management, integrated pest management, or wildlife habitat management.
Farm and forestry activities in New Hampshire are good for our state, our health, and our economy. When properly planned and managed, they are also good for our natural resources.
EQIP Brochure (427 KB pdf)
EQIP provides assistance to farmers and ranchers who face threats to soil, water, air, and related natural resources on their land. Through EQIP, NRCS provides assistance to agricultural producers in a manner that will promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible goals, optimize environmental benefits, and help farmers and ranchers meet Federal, State, Tribal, and local environmental requirements.
Historically underserved producers (limited resource farmers/ranchers, beginning farmers/ranchers, socially disadvantaged producers, Tribes) may be eligible for a higher practice payment rate for the implementation for conservation practices and conservation plans.
Producers may use a certified Technical Service Provider (TSP) for technical assistance needed for certain eligible activities, services and the development of conservation plans. Historically underserved producers may also be eligible for advance payments up to 30 percent of the cost needed to purchase materials or contracting services to begin installation of approved conservation practices.
NRCS works with the producer to develop a plan of operations that:
Conservation Activity Plans
Organic Initiative
Seasonal High Tunnels
Building or fixing up barns and buildings, and drainage or alteration of wetlands are two examples of activities that are not eligible for cost-sharing.
Any producer engaged in livestock or crop production on eligible land may apply for EQIP. Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pasture land, private non-industrial forestland, and other farm or ranch lands as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture.
Financial assistance in the form of practice payment rates is available and a higher practice payment rates are available to historically underserved.
We have a companion web site here on getting conservation assistance for your farm. Then, contact your local office for information on signing up for EQIP. A conservationist will inventory your resources with you and identify opportunities to protect, maintain, or improve them. Your conservationist can help you decide how to address each problem and develop a plan for your land. Learn more about conservation planning.
Application and Eligibility Documents
EQIP offers contracts with a minimum term that ends one year after the implementation of the last scheduled practices and a maximum term of ten years. These contracts provide financial assistance to implement conservation practices. Owners of land in agricultural production or persons who are engaged in livestock or agricultural production on eligible land may participate in the EQIP program. Program practices and activities are carried out according to an EQIP program plan of operations developed in conjunction with the producer that identifies the appropriate conservation practice or measures needed to address the resource concerns. The practices are subject to NRCS technical standards adapted for local conditions.
EQIP provides payments up to 75 percent of the incurred costs and income foregone of certain conservation practices and activities. However certain historically underserved producers (Limited resource farmers/ranchers, beginning farmers/ranchers, socially disadvantaged producers) may be eligible for payments up to 90 percent of the estimated incurred costs and income foregone. Farmers and ranchers may elect to use a certified Technical Service Provider (TSP) for technical assistance needed for certain eligible activities and services. The new Farm Bill established a new payment limitation for individuals or legal entity participants who may not receive, directly or indirectly, payments that, in the aggregate, exceed $300,000 for all program contracts entered during any six year period. Projects determined as having special environmental significance may, with approval of the NRCS Chief, have the payment limitation raised to a maximum of $450,000.

Local input through the State Technical Committee and local work groups help define EQIP resource concerns. Local Work Groups can be established on a county or multi-county basis, with meetings convened by the local county Conservation Districts. Local Work Groups are an example of locally-led conservation.
The Local Work Group may advise NRCS on a number of EQIP issues including the identification of resource concerns and public outreach and information efforts. The Local Work Group ensures that a conservation needs assessment is developed using community stakeholders input. The assessment process helps the Local Work Group identify resource concerns, recommend practices, priorities, payment rates, cost share levels, and funding needs. Find out about your Local Work Group by contacting your county conservation district.
To find out more about EQIP and other conservation programs, visit your local USDA Service Center and talk with someone from the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, or your local Conservation District. For office locations, click here.

Well if you are clicking more instead of using keybinds, your HS uptime is probably really really low. Have you considered binding heroic strike to the scroll wheel? that way you can scroll with your middle finger while you click your buttons for rotation and not use keybinds but still have a good HS (or cleave) uptime.
Personally, I think the biggest and best thing you could do is force yourself to move with the mouse and use keybinds almost exclusively, I think that's the only way you are going to get to peak performance. We had a hunter in our guild that had the same problems, and it took her a long time to learn how to not keyboard turn, but she eventually did it and her performance increased dramatically.

Edit: Ofcourse, I misread what quest you were on, the advice below is sitll valid for the Celestial Challenge
Here is what I used in talents:
Disrupting Shout (interrupts)
Shockwave (stuns boss + adds)
Avatar (macro'd to Skull Banner & Recklessness for instant burst)
Second Wind purely for the higher potential healing
Commanding Shout
250 Mastery food (still had it on from LFR)
I had some issues with this fight as well, particular because we're virtually the only tanks with no self-healing.
As a result, you need to rethink your entire strategy.
Deathwing himself doesn't hit that hard, up to a point where I was using Shield Barrier over Shield Block for the extra total reduction. Remember, no heals = damage smoothing doesn't matter. Not to mention that because Shield Barrier has a minimum value, it actually works extremely well on the weak hits Deathwing does.
The blood adds hit a bit harder, which I kept Shockwave for, followed by Thunderclap. That should bring them down enough to Revenge them down quickly. If the boss runs after Wrathion, Intervene, taunt and Heroic Leap back.
On the Shard intercept phase, simply stay close to Wrathion and step out 2y in the right direction to intercept. Use your Safeguard or Intervene here if you ran off too far and doubt you can intercept shards coming from the other side.
Don't expect to get a lot of Vengeance, so make sure you prioritise Shield Slam and Revenge for the Rage to put into Barriers. Without the AP from Vengeance, Battle Shout is not much of a boost, so go Commanding Shout.
Demo Shout as much as you can, use Demo Banner or Shield Wall once the SW stun runs out on the blood adds to reduce damage taken. Keep Last Stand for when you do drop low to boost Second Wind more. If you really have issues, don't be afraid to use a Flask or elixirs, ask friends and family to buff you before you start, especially a Mastery and stats buff could help you.
Good luck!

Leaning on Line Pack
Green energy mandates might overburden gas pipelines.
Electricity supply and demand have always been variable and uncertain. Hence, in realizing the enormous potential associated with onshore and offshore wind development, system operators must address the critical challenge of predicting wind production and then managing the variability of wind based energy from day to day, hour to hour, and, at a more granular level, in 10-minute intervals.
In terms of seconds or minutes, variations in wind power output have a relatively minor impact on system operations. However, in terms of 10-minute intervals or hour-long time scales, unexpected wind power output variations have the potential to cause operational havoc, particularly if the magnitude of the variance is comparable to the variation in load. Maintaining system reliability and security of supply thus requires the independent system operator (ISO) to avoid operational havoc by rigorous scheduling of various ancillary services. As the penetration of new wind resources increases, the array and amount of ancillary services will necessitate innovation to accommodate intermittent resources. Toward this end, in its notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) issued on November 18 (Docket No. RM10-11-000), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) proposes reforms intended to remove barriers to the integration of variable energy resources (VERs) into the transmission grid.
Although existing operational procedures are effective at accommodating wind generation, deeper wind penetration will challenge ISOs regarding the procurement of ancillary services. In addition to strategic actions to alleviate developing problems from adding VERs on the system, enhanced ancillary services can augment or complement traditional automatic generation control (AGC), 10-minute spinning and non-spinning reserves or 30-minute operating reserves. These enhanced ancillary services will require innovative strategies using line pack in interstate pipelines and stepped up communication among gas and electric market participants to preserve reliability objectives in gas and electric markets.
