Sounds/looks like she's just being a Taunt/DPS whore. There's very little you can do about that without becoming one yourself. perhaps just go Deeps for trash, or have a cup of tea whilst she has her fun.
Before I start I want to thank the guys that gave me advice about this topic on my last thread.
The issue that I had was that I was tanking with a Bear tank that had way higher gear than me and I was unable to get close to her on the DPS charts. Since then I've geared up to be within 3 points of her - she is 570 and I am 567. Even though I've closed the gap I can't come close to competing with her in DPS and threat. I've linked a log from our last raid and I took on board everything that Tengenstein said (about my previous post) and tried to improve. I've had a good jump in DPS but I still can't compete with her. Am I smashing my head against a brick wall or is there a black and white discrepancy between the dps put out by a bear and a prot warrior?
Logs http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/wdzrqrq1i6d1qwf7/
Armory http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Atighe/simple
Our team is progressing through heroics at the moment, 3/14 (woot for us) and there aren't any problems with the team per se but I can't help but feel like a third wheel as I am basically acting as a terrible dps until the boss fights. In situations where there are groups of mobs I will start tanking some of them and she will taunt them off of me because I assume it's easier to have all the aggro than track which mobs are loose and which are on the dps. If we both charge the same group of mobs I can get the initial aggro but gradually she will generate threat and take that aggro off of me. As soon as that happens and my vengeance starts to drop I lose threat and then I can't catch up without taunting.
I've been using intervene to get some damage and to try to keep up vengeance on some fights but it's not really worth it on the trash mobs as they go down so fast and the last thing anyone wants is for me to separate my mobs from the pack (which is the only way that I can come up with to stop losing threat) as we would lose a lot of dps due to lost cleave strikes.
Hopefully someone has the time to respond.
Thanks in advance.

If you both are tanking normally and just cleaving/AoEing eachothers adds, you should be able to hold two or three mobs on your own. Eventually the one with initial aggro will have slightly higher Vengeance, getting more aggro, thus more Vengeance and so on, but even with that, Swipe & Trash should not be able to steal you focusing one or two targets.
If she's taunting everything, it's probably just meter whoring and either tell her she's not their to boost her ego and she's actually slowing the raid down (2 tanks with 3 mobs each = more Veng than 1 with all of em) or just let her have her fun and disregard any damage meters from trash (or counter with meters for damage taken or Taunt uptime ).
If you REALLY want to show her how annoying it is, Vigilance + mouse-over Taunt macro will allow you to steal every mobs from her you want, without the obviousness of Mocking Banner.
Of course, if she just taunts anything that is not attacking her, she needs to L2P, because if a DPS DOES pull aggro, she's shit out of luck as her taunt is on CD.

If a tank insists on tanking ALL THE THINGS on trash, I let them. Saves me money on repairing my shield.
So yeah, more likely she's just vengeance whoring it up. Which as others have explained there are certain ups and downs to that. I would add though that the biggest reason NOT to do that is that if for some reason a tank goes down on trash (healer alt tabbs/goes to get a drink, dps go lazy-mode and ignore interruptible casts) you now have a dead tank and another tank with no vengeance or threat to speak of. And GG instead of you farming trash, trash is farming you. The likely-hood of that situation is also rather dependent on your raid atmosphere though, so it may just be a non-issue.
Really, I don't know a lot about hunters and the only good advice I can give is: TURN PET TAUNT OFF! ~Aggathon
Thanks guys. What you've said basically confirms that I already suspected. I checked through the logs very carefully and when we are on a boss with a simple taunt mechanic our and our DPS should be similar the difference is only 5 - 10% instead of 30 - 40% on trash. At the end of the day the important thing is bosses not trash. I'm going to hold my tongue as the bear has been tanking with our raid team for over a year and I've only been there for around 2 months. The root of my question still stands though should bears be a little higher on DPS in a straight fight than Prot wars?
There's a lot of talk about ranking in our team which I don't really care about. All that I'm interested in is being a good tank getting all the interrupts that I can and keeping people alive. The concerns about dps are based on an underlying concern that when our two ten man raiding teams merge in WoD there will only be two spots for tanks and I don't want to be overlooked because of a DPS difference. I'm going to talk to the healers and see who is easier to heal during a lot of these fights. I checked our Galakras fight and I absorbed a massive amount which has to help them out and should count for a lot in progression. Noone seems dissatisfied with the performance of the tank team in our raid but I'm a natural minmaxer and I want to ensure that I am doing all I can.
Gregasauras - We have a good heals team and she doesn't die to trash very often and normally when she does I drop a baner immediately and there are no issues.Something you said is worrying me though, I must be using the wrong UI because there is no differentiation on my raid bars between a mob that is aggroed on a tank and a mob that is aggroed on a healer or DPS. It just shows green if the mob is on me and red if it's on someone else. Is there a UI that can tell the difference because if there is i want it and I will get the bear to install it aswell. That was the main reason that I didn't get too annoyed with the situation because on something like Galakras where there are loads of mobs and interrupts to keep an eye on it's easier for her to assume that if it's not on her it's on someone it shouldn't be and taunt it back to her.
Airowird - I don't know how to do a report of dps as opposed to taunt up time. I am only getting used to World of logs now and I've never really used it as a resource before this raid team. I don't really understand how to make queries yet but I will look into that. I got really annoyed with it last week and did the vengeance taunt trick which was funny but again it's got a 2min (?) cooldown so doesn't help all that much. (I don't have it macroed to mouse over and never even thought about that. I have to get that now, that's a great idea, thanks)
There is a little bit of history too which I should fill in here. The raid team took me on when they were all fully BIS normal and I was still all flex gear and I started tanking with her when I could get 2 - 3 hit by trash. I've only just realised that she is used to holding all the mobs to make sure i don't and maybe all I need is to talk to her about it now that our gear is closer to being the same.
As usual, tankspot to the rescue. The community here has been amazing since Wrath and I appreciate all your help.
The red border is part of the default UI raid frames. as is showing the target of your target. The addon WhoTaunted whislt out of date is great for seeing when other tanks (or non-tanks) use taunts.
As to who should be slightly ahead on DPS Bears or Warriors. it's all very variable, as Mastery stacked prot warrior will be quite far behind a crit stacking maul spamming druid. Raid bots is down for me ATM, so you can't really see the variability between the two on any given fight but a quick and dirty sim of both of you (I'm not insinuating that either you use, or should be using the default action priority lists) puts her at about 108% of your DPS on a single target.

The difference is 13% on Galakras and I know that I have some improving to do on my rotation so that sounds correct and sets my mind at ease. She also always pulls the boss first which means that she normally gets more uptime on the boss. I do the tower and am normally trying to get down to the level with the boss while she starts to tank him.
I am going to have to learn how to Sim. It's another thing that I haven't gotten around to yet.
Thank you all for your input.
I will install the whotaunted addon. Some monkey in the raid has a habit of taunting the trash that cleave before malkorok so that they can gank one of the other raid members and I'd like to know who it is so that I can return the favour on the big mob before paragons (that's one place where the tanks get to have some fun - A well timed taunt on one of the melee classes gets vent going gangbusters).
Omen3, also out of date works fine too, very good for seeing whats actually happening with the threat tables in regards to tricks, MDs, fades, etc.

I just use the Skada threat module. Works perfectly well.
I will check out the Skada module. I already run omen but If i can get rid of it in favour of Skada that would be good. One less add on to deal with.
I am not sure if it's part of the default Skada, (might be part of Skada - Healing & Absorbs extra plugin), but check Healing Required meters.
They will show how much heals you needed from exterior sources. Basicly it's your damage taken minus all self-heals & absorbs.

As to the green/red for "have aggro/don't have aggro" I seem to recall once seeing a plugin for Tidyplates that would keep a nameplate green if you did NOT have aggro on a mob but it was targeting somebody who was spec'd tank. I think it was back in Cata, and if I recall correctly it was a bit twitchy and a pretty decent chunk of cpu as far as addon's go. There might be a functionality of it in Tidyplates by default now, or you might not be able to get it at all anymore. I'm not entirely sure. It's been quite a while since I really played with Tidyplates.
And Airo, I'm pretty sure "external healing required" is a plugin for skada, and not default. Though it is an incredibly useful tool for self analyzing. Especially if you play a Prot Pally.....
Really, I don't know a lot about hunters and the only good advice I can give is: TURN PET TAUNT OFF! ~Aggathon
Yeah, I used to use it to compare our pala tank vs the DK or warrior he got teamed with, because his total healing done is just so high, it's the only way to compare really.

Gregasaurous thanks for the info. I'm using elvui and I don't recall seeing the plates having a red marker around them if someone has threat if they are not a tank. I will look into that on the next dungeon I tank. I have to get some macros sorted out and I will upgrade my intervene to a mouse over macro if the plates work like that.
Hey Tigher
Elvui will show you if you have aggro as a tank all the plates will be green if you hava aggro red if you dont orange if you are about too loose aggro.
When it comes to gettin aggro on adds that the druid is starting on i havent looked at your build but when i tank on my warrior i have deep wounds thunderclap and the blood thingy on the last tier to grab my part. Usually i tank not the towers i do the adds down there and usually the tower tank grabs gala first thats how we do it anyways.
On my druid i use crit build like most druids do these days and i also use the dps legend cloak on most fights.
That is proccing quite alot and on garrosh for example while tankin garrosh and off tank takes adds and brings them to garrosh i usually get aggro from all so i would not worry much about it.
But if she is taunting like many ppl have written then i would drag my adds abit away from her so it will be obvious that she is taunting.
Well that is my 2c
regards JR
I'm so embarassed about this but I noticed the red line around the characters that have aggro on the ELvui frames for the first time after Gregasaurous mentioned it. I don't know how i haven't noticed that before. I don't really look very carefully at raid frames. I've programmed myself that once i notice out of the corner of my eye that the raid is dropping HP i call out for whether heals need a demo banner or Rallying cry. I'm now trying to train myself to take more notice of it.
Something funny happened to me last night though; the equipment buttons broke for some reason (supposedly the guys on my raid reckon this happens regularly but it's never happened to me) and I thought I had my tank set on because I could see my sword and board but I was actually wearing all my fury gear with just the shield and one hander from my prot set. I knew something was up from the first pull, I started off with my usual charge, leap, TC for the adds and stripped 3 of the 5 off her immediately, i then proceeded to the last additional one off her too (apart from her target) without even single targetting it. This happened for the rest of the fight. The roles were completely reversed and I couldn't believe the difference. My DPS shot through the roof and i went from 150 - 160K to 250 - 280K on that fight. The additional vengeance from the extra mobs really made a difference.
Anyway that's not why I tank and even though it was fun having all the threat and vengeance for a while I reverted to my avoidance build after that. As an aside though even though I was in my crit gear the healers still think it's easier to heal me in that gear and I'm now considering building up a second crit set for farming some of the bosses with lots of adds.
I've done the vigilance thing a few times now but it doesn't really beat home the message because of the length of the cooldown. It did get a startled response though when taunts were going out with no cooldown at the start. I've really stopped worrying about it now though following the comment "less repairs on my shield" i've taken it all in context and started looking at only the boss fights where things are a lot more even with respect to time on boss and the like.
Your bear is definitely trying to hog the meters at least implicitly, if not explicitly. I'm looking at your Galakras kill, and I see a ton of Mauls being cast (100 in a 10 minute fight with a 3s cooldown is pretty much whenever it's up, unless they've got the cleave glyph, but even then, that's a lot considering the number of pauses between waves on ) versus almost no Savage Defense (4%). Combined with the DPS cloak, and the rogue is Tricksing her, AND the hunter is Misdirecting her, that's a big hill for you to climb to outthreat her.
Try having the rogue and hunter do their thing to you instead of her and see if it makes a difference.
Looking deeper into your logs, I see that your bear is dying before you at multiple points, which isn't surprising since they're not doing much to avoid taking damage as Frenzied Regen / Maul damage reduction. Like on the Siegecrafter Blackfuse fight, she dies with -3- stacks of the Electrostatic Discharge debuff on her, because she's not trying to actively dodge the attacks from the boss nor did she have Barkskin up at any point during the fight.
Meanwhile you went 3 and 4 stacks without dying to the same attacks and prevented significantly more damage to yourself while doing it. IMHO, when doing heroics, you really really need to do your job to stay alive, and she's not doing it right if she's avoiding less than 20% of the incoming melee attacks to your 44% -and- 14% block on top of that.

The last fifteen years has been by far the best in the history of Wisconsin basketball. They have made the NCAA Tournament every year since 1999 but in that time they haven't made the Final Four. The 2012-13 squad had a peak rank of #17 in the country behind a highly-balanced scoring attack of Ben Brust, Jared Berggren, Ryan Evans, and Sam Dekker. Their offense wasn't near the best in college basketball but their rebounding was much better, ranking 71st in the country out of over 200 schools. But with two of those four guys having graduated already, the Badgers will have to hope four-star power forward recruit Nigel Hayes can help offensively. With a deep roster and strong coaching as usual, there's little reason to believe Wisconsin won't be competitive and on their way to yet another NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Wisconsin Badgers operate under head coach Bo Ryan at the Kohl Center in Madison. Ryan, who took over in 2001, is the most successful Wisconsin coach in nearly a century, has had them nationally ranked at some point during the season every year since 2002. In the 2006-07 season they were even ranked #1 at one point behind a roster of Alando Tucker, Kammron Taylor, Brian Butch, Michael Flowers, and more. Currently three former Wisconsin players in Devin Harris, Jon Leuer, and Greg Stiemsma are in the NBA, and other notable alums include Michael Finley and Wes Matthews. The Kohl Center is nicknamed 'The Madhouse in Madison', a play on Chicago's United Center which is known as 'The Madhouse on Madison'. They have made 19 NCAA Tournament appearances all-time, winning the national title in 1940.

Scriabin: Complete Piano Sonatas
CDA67131/2 2CDs
Movement 1: Allegro con fuocoso
Track 1 on CDA67131/2 CD1 [8'06] 2CDs
Movement 2: [crotchet = 40]
Track 2 on CDA67131/2 CD1 [4'55] 2CDs
Movement 3: Presto
Track 3 on CDA67131/2 CD1 [2'58] 2CDs
Movement 4: Funèbre
Track 4 on CDA67131/2 CD1 [5'34] 2CDs
The second movement depicts the doubts and prayers of Scriabin's notebook. The language here, appropriately, is close to César Franck. The first sixteen bars, which return at the end of the movement, are a prayer; personal confession comes with the more florid middle section with its 'weeping' falling chromaticisms.
The third movement sounds like a finale; it remains incomplete, however, and after a dramatic break leads into a funeral march—a memorable inspiration and, with its bass tied to a two-note ostinato, extremely Russian, on a line which leads from Mussorgsky's 'Bydlo' (from Pictures at an Exhibition) to the slow movement of Prokofiev's Second Sonata. Twice the inexorable march is interrupted by a chordal passage described by Scriabin's first English biographer, Arthur Eaglefield Hull, as 'an angelic song'; but those angels are a million miles away: the chords are marked 'quasi niente'—almost inaudible—and the song leads nowhere. In the context of the Sonata's late-Romantic language the bare fifth of the final cry is startlingly brutal—a rejection, perhaps, of the comfort of traditional solutions.
Scriabin gave only one complete performance of this Sonata; perhaps its associations were too painful. But he may, also, have been conscious that the work's reflection of experience is raw and unassimilated. The 'dim religious light' of the second movement gives little relief from the sombre mood of the others and there is more than a hint of self-pity and self-dramatisation about the whole piece. Perhaps it was this that led Aldous Huxley, in Antic Hay, to describe Scriabin as 'the Tchaikovsky de nos jours', a put-down which can easily be read as a compliment. Like Tchaikovsky, Scriabin is a master of his craft; and Hugh Macdonald has pointed out that the despairing finale of Scriabin's First Sonata precedes Tchaikovsky's 'Pathétique' by a year.

The depressing state of American politics.

Post subject: The depressing state of American politics.
In the last two presidential elections in the United States I found myself in the unfortunate position of voting for the Democratic candidates because this "lesser evil" seemed so considerably less evil than the neo-cons and christian fundamentalists who run the Republican party. I even got outraged at the way the Republicans manipulated public opinion by using the 9/11 attacks to stir up fear of everything alien.
But looking at the way the Democratic Party has been kissing the Israel lobby's ass in defending Israel's brutal attack on innocent civilians in Lebanon, has completely disgusted me. I can't vote for these people. I don't care how bad the Republicans are. I'll either vote for Ralph Nader, the Greens, or sit the elections out.
One example of this is Hillary Clinton: "We will support [Israel's] efforts to send a message to Hamas, Hezbollah, to the Syrians, to the Iranians, to all who seek death and domination instead of life and freedom,"
I'm at a loss for words...
And the U.S. House of Representatives voted 410 to 8 to support Israel's actions and the Senate voted unanimously to support it.

I'm with you, Ed. Utterly revolting. I felt the same way about the US media and elected officials coming up to the Iraq war in 2003. But today the posturing that Democrats are resorting to in order to make themselves look "staunchly pro-Israel" is even more nauseating than their spineless failure to prevent the war in 2003. (Though we should probably admit that the total amount of misery inflicted upon the Iraqi people since 2003 is probably many thousands of times worse than what the Lebanese have suffered during the past few days).
Speaking of Ralph Nader, he has a good open letter to Bush here:
Dear President Bush:
You have been a weak president, despite your strutting and barking, when it comes to doing the right things for the American people within the Constitution and its rule of law. This trait is now in bold relief over the Israeli government's escalating war crimes pulverizing the defenseless people and country of Lebanon.
Imagine a Democrat saying something like that! Not likely.
Tom Hayden has a very interesting article about the pressures he faced to be a "Friend of Israel" while a young Democratic state legislator here:
It's definitely worth reading.

And it's much the same in the UK with Blair being dragged along in Bush's wake.
I have to say though that Bush should be more concerned about global warming than Middle East politics. Tel Aviv and Beirut will find that they have something in common when they are both 10 feet under water.

But Bush doesn't believe in global warming. There isn't just a war on terror, there is also a war on science. Evolution, global warming are all part of some left wing agenda, according to the administration.
I don't understand Blair at all. I don't see what he thinks he's accomplishing. He's not as stupid as Bush so it can't be that. It's almost as if he's trying to replay Neville Chamberlain's historic role as the great appeaser. His position is so unpopular in the UK, how does he survive?

The only UK politician that I thought made any sense recently was Charles Kennedy, of the Liberal Democrats. He always said that if we want better police, education and health services then we have to pay for them. For me this was just common sense - there's no such thing as a free lunch. He was also a very likeable character who hosted TV quiz shows now and again. Sadly he turned out to be an alcoholic, but nobody is perfect after all.

In the USA we have two parties. The "party of the left", i.e. the Democrats are to the right of most of the parties of the right in Europe. When the Democrats had the Presidency and a majority in both houses of congress they couldn't pass a watered down national health plan. The one that got hashed out, and finally failed, guarenteed that it would be dominated by private insurance companies. But even that wasn't good enough to pass.
It's very depressing to be a person of the left in the United States.

Electronegativity (Mulliken-Jaffe)
Pauling scale
R.S. Mulliken proposed an electronegativity scale in which the Mulliken electronegativity, ΧM is related to the electron affinity EAv (a measure of the tendency of an atom to form a negative species) and the ionization potential IEv (a measure of the tendency of an atom to form a positive species) by the equation:
ΧM = (IEv + EAv)/2
The subscript v denotes a specific valence state - so for trigonal boron compounds, a values of electronegativity can be defined for sp2 hybrid orbitals. If the values of IE and EA are in units of MJ mol-1, then the Mulliken electronegativity ΧM can be expressed on the Pauling scale by the relationship:
ΧM = 3.48[(IEv + EAv)/2 - 0.602]
Values presented here are largely from reference 1. Mulliken's proposals are to be found in references 2 and 3. Tables of values are also given in references 4 and 5 as well.
Mulliken-Jaffe electronegativities are tabulated for a number of orbitals as well as a consolidated set of values for various orbitals suitable to correlate with Pauling values:

Her strong communication skills led me to several purchases that truly fit my needs based on the physical demands in my line of work, which is in hospitals all different time and locations in the USA, and working with anyone from the executives to the line staff at various facilities. She has always displayed patience, logic, and finding the right solution for the right issue at hand. All performed with a measure of good humor. Ms. Staal is the person I will seek and recommend to my friends and colleagues, when visiting your store. She is the exemplary agent of your organization, and I am happy to discuss any inquiries you may have in positive support of her. I will be back to Gazelle Sports again and hopefully very soon."

Lyn of Kalamazoo, MI says:
"My mom and I came into your downtown Kalamazoo store last Friday. We arrived there around 11 am. The store was, what I thought, very busy. We were asked to wait, which was no problem as we were not in a hurry. After about 15 minutes of waiting, out came Kathleen. Mind you, in the mean time, we were thanked by one of the salesmen (I wish I would have caught his name) several times for our waiting. Kathleen was wonderful and well worth waiting for. She listened as we told her what we were looking for and what we would be doing (i.e., walking/running). She was honest and very knowledgeable about the products she was selling. She had a wonderful personality. As I was checking out, the same salesman thanked me again for waiting. I will come back next time I need a new pair of shoes and I will not hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends."

BERLIN, Md. (AP) - Worcester County officials are considering changes to the county's dog laws.
The discussion comes amid a handful of attacks by loose and apparently dangerous dogs.
Animal control officer Susan Rantz tells the Daily Times of Salisbury ( http://bit.ly/UK986c) that she's recommended ways to strengthen the laws.
County Commissioner Judy Boggs says officials are considering changes but want to make sure whatever law they pass is enforceable.
In the county, a threatening dog is classified as "potentially dangerous." A dog involved in a second incident is labeled "dangerous" and must be muzzled and leashed when outside the owner's property. If the dog again attacks another animal or has another similar incident, the owner may be fined $2,500.
But Rantz says current law doesn't allow the county to seize a dog.

Native Plants as Holiday Decor
Decorating with fresh greenery is one of the oldest winter holiday traditions.
Gathering Greenery
Please be responsible when gathering greenery. Make sure you are not trespassing on private property or violating state plant-protection laws.
With a little planning your own landscape can be a great place to look for holiday greenery. When gathering live greenery from your shrubs and trees, remember that you are actually pruning the plants. Consider carefully which branches to cut and which ones to leave. Distribute the cuts evenly around the plant in order to preserve its natural form.
Grow Native Nursery
Nursery webpage
Give the nursery staff a call for information about our current inventory of cut greens and plants to add to your landscape.

Grow Native Nursery in the Veterans Garden (424) 234-0481
Pruning Guidance
Native Plant Clinics
Please visit our free monthly Native Plant Clinic for insights into the careful skill of plant pruning.
Safety Considerations
Dried evergreens can become flammable when in contact with a heat source such as a candle flame. Keep fresh greenery away from all heat sources.
Make sure that any wreaths, roping and garlands that you bring indoors are as fresh as possible. Check needles by bending them. They should be flexible and not break. Avoid greenery that are shedding or that have brown, dry tips. Before bringing the greenery inside, soak them in water overnight to rehydrate them.
Try to keep plants out of the reach of children and curious pets.
Below are some suggested varieties to use in holiday decorating.

ALEXANDRIA - A tall glass of frosty, frothy suds.
Raise one of those at Port City Brewing on Saturday and you'll be lending a helping hand to Peter Laboy, the Alexandria motorcycle officer who was shot in the head last month during a traffic stop in Old Town.
A fund has been set up to help Laboy and his family, and Port City Brewing will donate 10 percent of Saturday's total sales from its tasting room to that fund.
"We feel close to Officer Laboy," says Bill Butcher, the brewery's owner. "He helped us out when we were building our brewery. When our first piece of equipment was arriving, he and all the other Alexandria motorcycle officers gave us a police escort when they brought the tank in off the highway."
Butcher also points out that Alexandria police headquarters are right up the street from Port City Brewing.
In her blog this week, Laboy's wife, Suzanne, said he is improving "every moment of the day."
Donations for the Officer Peter Laboy fund should be dropped off at the Alexandria Police Department, 3600 Wheeler Avenue, Alexandria, Va. 22304.
Donations can also be sent through the mail:
The Alexandria Police Association c/o Peter Laboy P.O. Box 1228 Alexandria, Va. 22313

Seeing that _sort_ its been used, why not just _use_ it. ;)
sort command can sort month-wise (first three letters of each month).
See the sample output for clarification.
Sorting Stable ? NO. Take note if that matters to you.
Sample output suggests that sort performs unstable
sorting (see the relative order of two 'feb' entries).
In this case I'm just grabbing the next level of subdirectories (and same level regular files) with the --max-depth=1 flag. leaving out that flag will just give you finer resolution. Note that you have to use the -h switch with both 'du' and with 'sort.'
as per eightmillion's comment.
Simply economical :)
Enhancement for the 'busy' command originally posted by busybee : less chars, no escape issue, and most important it exclude small files ( opening a 5 lines file isn't that persuasive I think ;) )
This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim.
If both file1 and file2 are already sorted:
comm -13 file1 file2 > file-new
Find which directories on your system contain a lot of files.
Edit: much shorter and betterer with -n switch.
PmWiki stores wiki pages as Group.Name. Simply split the directory listing and count frequency of group occurances.
(separator = $IFS)
Tells you everything you could ever want to know about all files and subdirectories. Great for package creators. Totally secure too.
On my Slackware box, this gets set upon login:
LS_OPTIONS='-F -b -T 0 --color=auto'
alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS'
which works great.
If your version of curl does not support the --compressed option, use
curl -s http://funnyjunk.com | gunzip
instead of
curl -s --compressed http://funnyjunk.com
Randomizes a file. The opposite of sort is sort -R!
count connections, group by IP and port
List all MAC addresses on a Linux box. sort -u is useful when having virtual interfaces.
Sort lines within vi editor. In this example sort lines 33-61 and lines 4-9 asciibetically.
Credit goes to brun65i but he posted it as a comment instead as an alternative. I hadn't noticed the -h option on sort before and this seems like the cleanest alternative. Thanks Brun65i!
Show disk space info, grepping out the uninteresting ones beginning with ^none while we're at it.
The main point of this submission is the way it maintains the header row with the command grouping, by removing it from the pipeline before it gets fed into the sort command. (I'm surprised sort doesn't have an option to skip a header row, actually..)
It took me a while to work out how to do this, I thought of it as I was drifting off to sleep last night!
Select a file/folder at random.
Deletes capistrano-style release directories (except that there are dashes between the YYYY-MM-DD)

Don't libram switching trigger the gcd? Or even plain forbidden in combat? I remember that kind of stuff has been battled by the devs since 2.2
There's been some discussion on Maintankadin regarding Libram swapping while in combat to maximise the effect of each and I remembered a genuine EH-increasing Libram way back from my BRD days (first Libram I ever owned ) which increases the Armor from Devotion Aura by 110. Not a lot in itself, but is worth around 280 Effective Health based on my own gear stats using the Tankspot EH Calculator.
Anyway, I'm not suggesting we all run around with Libram of Truth as our only Libram as no doubt the others offer greater effects, but if macro'd into the Libram swapping macros on our abilities it could enhance what we already have. Let's take a standard 969 and add in Libram swaps at the appropriate times:
Now my understanding is that in order for a Libram swapping to work you need a very lag-free environment to avoid triggering additional GCDs but it can work. Is using four different Librams overkill? Would it lead to too narrow a margin for error?/equip Libram of the Sacred Shield
/cast Holy Shield
/equip Libram of Defiance
/cast Hammer of the Righteous
/equip Libram of Obstruction
/cast Judgement of Light
/equip Libram of Truth
/cast Shield of Righteousness
/cast Consecration
/equip Libram of Defiance
/cast Hammer of the Righteous
/equip Libram of the Sacred Shield
/cast Holy Shield
/equip Libram of Truth
/cast Shield of Righteousness
/equip Libram of Obstruction
/cast Judgement of Light
/equip Libram of Defiance
/cast Hammer of the Righteous
/equip Libram of Truth
/cast Consecration
/cast Shield of Righteousness
I guess my question is twofold: could Libram swapping to this scale work and is the extra 110 Armor from Libram of Truth worth getting, even if only used in parts of our rotation, due to it being our only true Effective Health Libram?
I'll try this on a Target Dummy when I get home to see if it ends up causing too many GCD clashes or if it could be workable.
Thoughts, discussion, blatant flaming all welcome
Don't libram switching trigger the gcd? Or even plain forbidden in combat? I remember that kind of stuff has been battled by the devs since 2.2
I believe you're able to switch Librams in combat as they're treated as a ranged weapon (unless they changed this in 3.2, but it was definitely the case in 3.1). As for them triggering a GCD, my understanding (not having tried it yet) is that the GCD only occurs if you're a little late with your rotation, hence my comments about a low-latency environment being necessary.
I'll have a play around with it tonight and see if/how it works and report back here. I'm not sure I necessarily like it (seems somewhat outside of the spirit of what's intended by Blizzard) but purely as an experiment in min/maxing the value of my Librams I thought I'd open up a discussion and play around with it.
I tested it for you.
Libram swapping is possible in combat.
It starts a global cooldown.
You can do it while a global cooldown is running, in that case it restarts the global cooldown.
So, as far as I can see, to not lose any time due to libram swapping, you have to use the libram immediatly after using a skill.
Note that I've read somewhere that a lot of gear with on-equip effects seem to have a hidden 30second cooldown built in before being active. (I think the thread was about shamen swapping totems, but the same principle does apply.)
What's more important to me is the question of whether you should do it at all. You don't need to do so to tank well, and Blizzard has been pretty vocal that this is not a game mechanic they want to see used.
Is minmaxing things so important for you that you feel the need to force the game designers to heap up restrictions on a system that works reasonably well?
I'm also wondering if it even works with procs. If you use a trinket and un-equip it out of combat, you lose the effect. Do you lose a libram effect buff as soon as you swap it out?
New patch notes on the PTR. Might check out the last one. A lot of Tanks were doing this.
Righteous Fury: The bonus threat from Holy spells caused by this talent has been reduced from 90% to 80%.
- Seal of Corruption and Seal of Vengeance: These seals will now only use the debuff stacks generated by the attacking paladin to determine the damage done by the seal and by the judgement.
- Blessing of Sanctuary: This blessing now grants 10% strength in addition to its current effects. Also, the strength and stamina bonuses from this blessing will no longer be lost when Blessing of Kings is removed.
- Hammer of the Righteous: The damage from this ability is now considered physical instead of Holy. The threat generated by the ability has been increased such that it will continue to do approximately the same threat it did when it was Holy damage.
- Judgements of the Just: The reduction in cooldown to Hammer of Justice provided by this talent has been reduced to 5/10 seconds instead of 10/20 seconds.
- Touched by the Light: This talent now provides 20/40/60% of the paladin's strength as spell power instead of 10/20/30% of the paladin's stamina.
Libram of Obstruction: The buff to block value from this relic is now exclusive with the buff to block value from Libram of the Sacred Shield; it is impossible to have both buffs at once.
- Seal of Command: This ability now chains to strike up to 2 additional targets when it is triggered by an attack that can only strike a single target.
Libram of the Sacred Shield: The block value buff from this relic has been increased to match its item level.
Relics: All buffs provided by relics (idols, librams, totems and sigils) now share an exclusive category such that gaining a buff from one of these items will remove all other buffs gained from items in this category.
In 2.4, the GCD was set to trigger during any item swap. The above macro's died, as the rest interrupted spellcasting. (It also let me clear half the macros I had at the time on my shaman )
Note in the current 3.2.2 PTR, the buffs given by librams (and relic, idols & sigils) are lost upon switching. I advise against even starting to rebuild UIs as long as that change is present. If your librams don't have a buff effect, then you could still macro them, but I do believe Blizzard is going to continue this trend. It may be necessary to lock the relic slot like other armor items, but that would probably interfer with non-relic classes' weapon/wand slots as a consequence.
As for "reasonably well", Blizzard has stated (repeatedly) they don't want the game playing for the players, and macros/add-ons can perform the decision that is the responsibility of the player. Is it fair that a player can have multiple minibuffs over someone else, merely thanks to a class specific item (relic) & macros? Note that switching itself isn't bad, and currently still allowed on 3.2.2 PTR.
I do have macros set to trade relics (/castsequence through a list, specifically), so I can adapt within a GCD by tapping that button. For my shaman, I flip to the primary healing I'm doing (either AoE spam or focused, single target). On my DK, I manually flip when I want to use a threat sigil instead of the usually avoidance sigil.

There's also the part we haven't really touched upon which is whether there is any remaining benefit at all to the Libram of Truth and its small EH bonus in certain physical-damage fights over, for example, Libram of Obstruction. What if you weren't block-capped with raid buffs? Is having a little bit more armor more attractive in that setting?

Can you explain the elimination process - Does only the winner go through each round regardless of whether it's 1v1 or 8-man assassin or a team game?

Pro Control is releasing a new remote designed for those of you addicted to the iPhone or iPad. However, this is an actual remote—and it's pretty affordable.
The company, which is a division of Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI), just started shipping its iPro.8 companion controller. Priced at just $149, this option ties into Pro Control's ProPanel app, which is designed for the iPod touch, the iPhone or the iPad. However, the iPro.8 is a dedicated remote, with instant connectivity and hard buttons for tactile control.
Once connected to the system, users can have the remote on-hand for everything from flipping channels to DVR transport. Designed for use with any Pro Control ProLink processor with an activated ProPanel app, the iPro.8 uses RF technology to tap into your home's system.
"While many consumers love using their smartphones and tablets for control of electronics and entertainment systems, the use of such devices does come with a few limitations that can lead to frustration—most notably, lack of tactile control, connectivity issues, and the numerous page-swipes required," said Mike Everett, general manager at Pro Control. "With its programmable hard buttons and RF technology, our iPro.8 companion remote was designed to address these issues specifically by providing a dedicated controller at a low cost, while allowing end-users to continue using their touchscreen devices as the main graphical interface."
Pro Control is selling the iPro.8 now, with an MSRP of $149.
