Welcome to the first edition of the NBH Weekender! I've been saving up lots of stuff to share with you this week, so here you go:
A better brainstorming method from Google that we've been playing with for a while. It really works better with introverts and in rooms with high status differentials: Note and Vote. Here's how it works:
Note: Distribute paper and pens to each person. Set a timer for five minutes to 10 minutes. Everyone writes down as many ideas as they can. Individually. Quietly. This list won't be shared with the group, so nobody has to worry about writing down dumb ideas.
Self-Edit: Set the timer for two minutes. Each person reviews his or her own list and picks one or two favorites. Individually. Quietly.
Share and Capture: One at a time, each person shares his or her top idea(s). No sales pitch. Just say what you wrote and move on. As you go, one person writes everybody's ideas on the whiteboard.
Vote: Set the timer for five minutes. Each person chooses a favorite from the ideas on the whiteboard. Individually. Quietly. You must commit your vote to paper.
Share and Capture (2): One at a time, each person says their vote. A short sales pitch may be permissible, but no changing your vote! Say what you wrote. Write the votes on the whiteboard. Dots work well.
Decide: Who is the decider? She should make the final call — not the group. She can choose to respect the votes or not. This is less awkward than it sounds: instead of dancing around people's opinions and feelings, you've made the mechanics plain. Everyone's voice was heard.
Why might this work? Because in most meetings, three people are doing 70% of the talking.
Hate networking? Here's a great way to think about it from Joanna Goddard:
Network up and down. Many people get turned off by the term "networking" (read: a bunch of suited-up people at happy hour) but I just think of it as a fancy word for making friends in your industry. When you email someone about a project, ask about their dog. Tell them about your vacation. Send a card when they have a baby. Be real with them. Help people. Stay in touch. Tell friends about job openings. Meet for breakfast, or send a short note saying you loved their recent article or project.
If it's not networking that keeps you up at night, but rather just plain old-fashioned insomnia, don't worry: there's an app for that.
Overwhelmed when you don't seem to get to anything on your to-do list? Try a To-Done List instead:
Dubbed the "Anti-To-Do List" by Buffer's Joel Gascoigne, this approach reportedly gives you an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and spurs productivity throughout the week. According to Gascoigne, by writing a separate list of tasks you have accomplished, including ones that weren't originally on your to-do list, you prevent yourself from feeling "knocked down" by the fact that you're doing something not on your original list.
Speaking of productivity, I really like this productivity tip from Nate Green:
Don't create and consume at the same time.
You should either be creating something or consuming something. Not both at the same time.
When you're creating, you're fully engaged on what you're doing. There should be no distractions, no "I'll just check something real quick and then come back to this…"
Focusing on one thing without interruption is how you get meaningful work done.
When you're consuming, you're open to anything and everything. You get taken wherever the wind takes you, and it's all groovy. What's this article? Who's that dude? This restaurant seems legit. You think they're open for dinner? Lemme check Yelp…
Ray Kelvin, founder of the Ted Baker fashion brand, shares some of his tips for success. If you're meeting with him, never be late:
"I have never, ever met someone really successful who's late," Kelvin says. "It is so disrespectful of other peoples' time."
Want to get more out of conferences and events? Here's a great tip:
Before you leave to the conference there's two things you need to do. One, is schedule a 30 minutes meeting with your team for the very first day when you arrive back in the office. The second is schedule a one hour slot for yourself either on the very first day or the very next day when you get back.
When you return, you already have a meeting scheduled with your team. Is 30 minutes long, so all those emails and fires can wait 30 mins for you to brief the team. That's right, you'll use that time to talk to them about the conference, the good, the bad, etc. And you will also show them your notes and give them an overview of what you've learned and what's coming (action items) to each of them. This serves two purposes. First, with the conference still fresh in your mind you can accurately tell your staff what happened at the show and prepare them for what's going to come their way, and second it helps you solidify what you learned during the show.
When you get to the second meeting you scheduled prior to leaving the office for that conference, you will then stop whatever you are doing and get all your notes out. Since all of them have an "action items" section at the bottom you can quickly go through your list and start identifying what needs to get done, prioritizing the tasks, and assigning them to appropriate team members (or to yourself).
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a judge for the Guinness Book of World Records?
"Like a visiting emperor, I have the power to confirm or destroy dreams with a thumbs up or down," she says. "I don't deserve this elevation. It's my clipboard, suit and the Guinness logo."
Love Sriracha (or "Rooster") sauce? An unknown street artist in Vietnam drew the iconic logo.
Mike Monteiro has eight great tips for working with a designer. Chief among them (and true for every profession):
A designer should never make you feel stupid for not understanding their craft.
Looking to hire someone for a bold initiative, find someone who's failed before, because they're the only ones likely to succeed.
Finally, something to add to your Christmas list:
See you again soon!
Online retailer Zappos is well known for its commitment to company culture and customer service, going so far as to offer new hires $2000 after their first few weeks on the job to quit if they don't like their new jobs. They also share quite a bit about how they hire so well, and have posted their Core Values Interview Assessment Guide (.pdf), which includes the interview questions they ask prospective hires.
Here are a few of their interview questions related to customer service:
Check out the entire list of questions. Adding a few of these to your next round of interviews might help you to hire better lawyers and staff.
There's a web-based serviced called UpdateMyVC, which purports to automate a startup's communication with its investors. What I really liked is the list of questions that get answered in the monthly update. Here are a few:
Several of the questions could comprise a fantastic template to use with your business clients every time you sit down and speak with them about their businesses. Any you'd add to the list?
Remember the television show Quincy? Jack Klugman played a Los Angeles medical examiner, and in every episode, his autopsy would reveal that the decedent (who'd seemingly died of "natural" causes) was a victim of foul play. Using the clues he'd gained from his examinations, Quincy would convince the police a homicide had occurred, and then manage to singlehandedly finger the killer. In a pre-CSI world, it was pretty compelling stuff.
So why all this talk about an obscure 70′s crime-drama? Because if you're really interested in identifying the work you love to do and learning how to serve your clients better, you may want to spend some time each week playing Quincy. Instead of investigating foul play, however, you should closely examine those things you've given up for dead in your office: your closed files.
Perform a File Autopsy. Here's how:
1. Grab at least five old files that have been closed for at least a year. Though you can choose files randomly, it works better if you've take some you liked and others you'd rather never touch again.
2. For each file, complete the LexThink File Autopsy (pdf) form. Be brutally honest with yourself as you answer questions, which include:
About the file:
- In hindsight, should I have taken this file?
- Were there any "red flags" I should have noticed?
- What lessons did I learn from handling this file?About the work:
- Did I like the work?
- Was I good at it? How could I have been better?
- If I didn't like the work, how could I do less of it?About the client:
- Does this client have any other legal work I could be doing?
- How would this client describe me to their peers?
- How could I have served this client better?
About the money:
- Was this a profitable matter for me to handle?
- Did the client feel my fees were fair?
- How could I have priced this matter differently?
3. Every week, grab a few more files and repeat the exercise. If you have staff, ask for their input as well.
4. If you're seeing common themes (either positive or negative) throughout the files, make sure to note them as well.
5. Once you've performed 20-50 "autopsies," you'll have a better sense of the kinds of work you like to do, clients you enjoy serving and alternative ways to price your services. Perhaps most importantly, you'll understand the kinds of work you don't want to do and learn to avoid taking matters and clients better passed on to your competition.
This "Best Of" post comes from 2011 and is about creating a "Menu" for your practice offerings:
Do you know all the kinds of things your firm does? Perhaps you should take a page (literally) from the restaurant industry and create a "menu" of your services. Though you may not decide to use it with clients, merely deciding what goes on the menu — and what gets left off — makes you think a bit differently about your practice and the kinds of matters you regularly should say "yes" to.
And if you're looking for some menu inspiration, I highly recommend the blog Art of the Menu. It has dozens of creative menus from around the country, and is sure to give you some ideas if you decide to make your "menu" a regular part of your practice.
Robin Scott shares a great tip he learned from a successful mentor:
Immediately after every lecture, meeting, or any significant experience, take 30 seconds — no more, no less — to write down the most important points. If you always do just this, said his grandfather, and even if you only do this, with no other revision, you will be okay.
It seems simple, but profoundly powerful. I've taken to writing my meeting notes on the 5×8″ notecards I regularly carry, and have also started to review them at the end of the week.
I'll let you know how the experiment goes, but I think this would be a great exercise to add to your workflow after every client meeting. It might make you a better listener — and a better rememberer.
Claire Lew, CEO of Know Your Company, shares an idea that might make customer conversations more productive:
When you ask "what" instead of "any", you invite a greater response to a question. For example, when you ask, "Do you have any frustrations?" it's very easy for the person to default and say "no." But when you ask, "What could be better in the company?" that question assumes that there are things that could be better. It opens the opportunity for someone to provide a more honest answer.
Everytime you close a conversation with a client, asking if they "have any more questions," you're giving them an easy way to answer "no." Instead, try asking them "What might I have explained better?" and keep the conversation going.
I really like the question asked in this post from Inc.com: What should you stop doing?
What would make your list? How about if you asked your staff? Or your clients?
Here's another favorite idea from 2012: Identify Your Top Ten "Most Wanted" Clients. Here's the post:
A simple idea from Jorge Barba at Game Changer: Create a 10 Most Wanted Client List. Who's on your list, and do they know you want to serve them?
I've been doing this for Kendeo and have found it works wonders in focusing your business development and marketing efforts. Give it a try!
Do you have Shiny Shiny Syndrome? I do. Here's a post from January 2012 about a technique I still use:
Many of the attorneys I work with suffer from the same thing I do: Shiny Shiny Syndrome. You suffer from S3 when you regularly give in to an overwhelming urge to start working on something new and better, instead of wrapping up your current projects.
Shiny Shiny Syndrome isn't (usually) fatal, but the cumulative results of constantly starting projects at the expense of finishing others can have a debilitating impact upon your practice and your staff.
To combat my case of Shiny Shiny Syndrome, I've begun an Idea Quarantine. From Wikipedia:
Quarantine is compulsory isolation, typically to contain the spread of something considered dangerous, often but not always disease. The word comes from the Italian (seventeenth century Venetian) quarantena, meaning forty-day period.[1] Quarantine can be applied to humans, but also to animals of various kinds.
Whenever I have a great idea for a project, I capture it so I don't lose it, but then I wait at least 90 days before I begin working on it. The "compulsory" waiting period keeps me from starting work on a poorly-formed idea I'll later lose passion for. It also gives me time to think about the idea and socialize it with friends and colleagues. If I'm still enamored with the idea once the 90 days have passed, it goes on my "To Do" list.
If you'd like to begin your own Idea Quarantine, and want a fun template to use, here's my Idea Quarantine. pdf from above.
Here's a tech-related tip from this post:
How many times has a quick technology fix turned into a day of un-billable time? Trust me on this one, no matter how much (or little) work you have, your time is better spent building your business and serving your clients than it is crawling around on the floor underneath your desk repairing your computers or troubleshooting your network.
Need help remembering this resolution? Try this simple trick:
Everywhere in your office where you have technology (on the copier, on the network switch or router, and on every computer) tape a label that has the following information on it:
- Your hourly rate
- The hourly rate of your tech-support person
- Their phone number
Now every time you're tempted to "fix" something yourself, call in the experts instead. You'll find that you (and your technology) will be happier and more productive when you spend your time doing your job instead of doing someone else's.
I've always thought the idea from this post was a powerful way to understand the gift of time and what you can accomplish in a year:
Resolve to Count Cards, using this this incredibly powerful exercise I first ran across in 2006. From an article in the now-defunct Worthwhile Magazine (by creativity guru Eric Maisel) comes this gem:
Get seven decks of cards with similar backs. Lay out all seven decks on your living room rug, backs showing. This is a year of days (give or take). Let the magnitude of a year sink in. Experience this wonderful availability of time. (This is a powerful exercise.)
Carefully count the number of days between two widely-separated holidays, for instance New Year's Day and the Fourth of July. Envision starting a large project on that first holiday (today!) and completing it by the second.
It also works great with clients! Give it a try.
Law firms always focus on increasing revenues. How might firm grow if focused on increasing quality instead?
- Friday Nov 28 - 1:06pm
Though biggest challenge #biglaw firms face is redesigning comp plan to reward behaviors their clients value, most won't.
- Friday Nov 28 - 12:56pm
Have prosecutors in the past ever blamed telephones or fax machines for public reaction to their poor decision making?
- Wednesday Nov 26 - 2:08am

I bet the whiners tweaked Windows when 50+ services including remote registry service were enabled by default. And I bet they still did more tweaking to install an antivirus and firewall before daring to connect the ethernet cable. And perhaps even more tweaking yet to change wallpaper, screen res and install about 20 drivers for plug and play items you didn't know existed on your computer. All that and it is too much to right click and click delete once?
A little activism does not take away the fact BLAG is one of the best and well maintained distros out there. I mean damn if you don't like it, delete it and quit moaning. Anyone would think we would have to issue refunds for something free just because someone isn't happy. Watever the case for every one person moaning, there are at least 50 who will stay with BLAG regardless of political preferences.

Well it might to you, (I figured out that someone would retort with this after I posted that line about hating windows, but it was too late then) but at least I have a reason to hate you, while hating windows has little logic behind it other than fanboyishness. And the days of Windows 95 are long over, you know, windows doesn't actually crash every 5 minutes. It also boots much faster than blag, or any other linux I used, a fact. I can actually say this out loud because I am not a fanboy of either system, so I can notice their flaws without being biased.

well this is the age of consumer choice i suppose. yes, i can boot XP and shut it back down before blag is anywhere near done, but i'm afraid that's where XP's fascination ends for me.
anyway, if pre-loaded bookmarks are what makes an OS good or bad, take a look at IE's. msn.com....justin timberlake, 5 trends in baby gear, and "help my son's school is too far" (obscured by a flash ad for american mortgages). call me a "fake anarchist", but i found a little more substance browsing blag's suggestions, whether i agree with their politics or not.
am i wide of the mark here? blag is giving you a bit of variety, albeit fairly leftsided. msn are just insulting your intelligence.

See above.
but at least I have a reason to hate you, while hating windows has little logic behind it other than fanboyishness.
So, let's get this straight, you hate whomever you're targetting (presumably "lefties and fake anarchists", but obviously most blaggers in general.) because they wish to "work[s] to overthrow corporate control of information and technology through community action and spreading Free Software." (taken straight from blag homepage). We're not fanboys, we don't particularly like Windows because we want to be free of corporate control of information, and Windows is a source of that corporate control. BLAG is actually working towards something. Also, we're just trying to help people out. It's called being nice. Nobody likes grumps or trolls. As you'd see if you opened your eyes. Also, see above.
Also, I'd like to point out the same thing as pistonbrew in that the IE default bookmarks are just as evil in some people's minds in the same way that you don't like BLAG's bookmarks. They point to sources of corporate control of information. But we don't go troll over it, do we? Didn't think so.
On a more positive note, I'd like to note that I 100% agree with this statement: "msn are just insulting your intelligence. " (from pistonbrew).
It lacks decent content and I find it to be overly aimed at teenage girls.
Anyhow, enough troll baiting for me for now.

It isn't 'overthrowing corporate control of information' that makes me angry. I actually saw that quote right on the front page, and I still downloaded it, because I didn't mind that quote. Why can't you understand such simple things ? Or are you pretending maybe, simply to waste time ?
See, I already made a
long post
, describing why I didn't like the links. I even said that eff.org is fine, while crap like "Earth First! journal" is not.
This experience can be generalized, since it happened to me every time whenever I tried discussing something with lefties. They are either incredibly stupid like a wall, or they pretend to be to wear down the person they are talking to. But in any case, you all use the same crappy psychological warfare tactics. You ignore anything that is said, or twist words, so that the person who you are arguing with is forced to repeat the same thing over and over, and eventually just give up.
Like this time, I said that I don't like all the
ecological/feminist/fake anarchist/snobbish political nerd crap
, but you go and pretend that I don't like 'overthrowing corporate control of information', and that I must be a microsoft supporter or something. Putting words in my mouth and ignoring what I said before, simply to waste time.
I have seen this so many times. So I can actually generalize and say that it's a typical trait of all lefties and related trash.

I don't know how is it possible for anyone with an IQ above 50 not to become a misogynist these days. You have built a monstrous idol for yourself out of them, not realizing that women are simply human beings that, gasp, have human faults.

NYC High School Students Graduate from Museum Research Program
by AMNH on
The sense of accomplishment–and promise of things to come–was palpable last week as more than 40 students from high schools across New York City graduated from the Museum's Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP), which pairs Museum researchers with New York City teens for two years of intensive research on an original project.
"Being in this program helped me pick my major," said Anastasia Bromberg, a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School who studied the diversity of snakes in Southeast Asia and will be attending the University of Miami in the fall. "I was thinking about psychology but now I know I want to be a researcher in marine biology. This program cemented that."

Preparing Fossils at the Museum
by AMNH on
Fossil preparation requires an uncommon degree of adaptability and patience. Museum preparators bring to the task diverse sets of skills from such backgrounds as art, paleontology, and archaeology. They generally learn their craft on the job, drawing from related fields such as object conservation to adapt modern glues, solvents, and other archival materials to stabilize fragile areas or repair damage.
Watch as Justy Alicea, a preparator at the American Museum of Natural History, works on a specimen and offers a tour of the Museum's fossil preparation lab. And for more about fossil preparation, read this story, which originally appeared in the Summer 2010 issue of the Members' magazine Rotunda.

A special specimen table featuring items from the Museum's world-famous dinosaur collection will be traveling to the Fanwood Street Fair and Craft Show in downtown Fanwood this Sunday, June 12, from 11 am to 5 pm.
Jonah Choiniere, a scientist from the Museum's Division of Paleontology, will be on hand with touchable specimens, including dinosaur teeth and claws; "prehistoric poop," (fossilized dung known as coprolite); a horn dinosaur arm bone; dinosaur skin impressions; shark teeth; and more.
Meet Mame, the Newly Named Mamenchisaurus
by AMNH on
The results are in! We asked you to submit a nickname for Mamenchisaurus, the giant sauropod at the center of The World's Largest Dinosaurs exhibition, currently on view at the Museum.
After hundreds of submissions and thousands of votes, the winner by a landslide is: Mame!
Runners up included Neckita—a nod to her extraordinary 30-foot neck, the longest relative to body size of any known dinosaur—and Mei Mei ("mei" means beauty in Chinese).

I started taking this as a weight loss aid, but I've also found that it has lessened my joint pain from osteoarthritis and seems to keep sugar and carb cravings at bay. I'm fitting into pants I couldn't wear just a few months ago. I could swear that my skin and nails are better as well. For my taste, it's a bit too tart added to plain water, but one or two tablespoons in a 4 oz glass of cold apple juice (once or twice a day) is perfect. I also like it with 4 oz of unsweetened black cherry juice and a tsp. of agave nectar. A tall glass of water, ACV, splash of juice, and plenty of ice makes a refreshing summer drink.
ACV amazing!!!!

I got my parents to use it...That says something! When I first started using it I had caught what could have been a nasty cold. Not getting enough sleep, stressed out and colds going around my school. gone in three days. GONE!! I was taking it two to three times a day during those three days. Now, I bought it for my scalp and my yeast infections. Nothing had helped my scalp years and many products latter...I Stopped using shampoo about 6 month ago. my hair was good but my scalp was only ok but a lot better than it was. now I wash my hair with Bragg ACV two maybe three times a week and my scalp is great. Yeast infections have gotten better. I have been suffering from them for years. since I was a child. I take braggs most days. Usually I get yeast infections around my period. I refuse to use drugs they haven't helping. Just wanted to say I haven't had an yeast infection in about a month. I don't think it is a coincidence. ready to order more!!
Good one, Braggs!

Braylon Edwards will officially rejoin the New York Jets on a one-year deal, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday.
The free-agent wide receiver underwent a physical at the Jets' facility Wednesday. He is expected to report for training camp on Thursday.
MORE: Santonio Holmes placed on PUP list | Jets' QB debacle
Edwards could give a big boost to the Jets' receiving corps, one of the team's biggest question marks entering the season. With top threat Santonio Holmes set to start training camp on the physically unable to perform list, new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg could use a veteran like Edwards.
PHOTOS: NFL training camps
The Jets also worked out free-agent receivers Austin Collie and Laurent Robinson this week.
Edwards' first stint in Florham Park began in 2009, the year the Mark Sanchez-led Jets reached their first of two consecutive AFC championship games. The team chose not to re-sign Edwards after the 2010 season, however. The Jets claimed him off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks last December, and he caught 10 passes for 125 yards in three games.
Edwards has 359 catches for an average of 15.4 yards and 40 touchdowns in eight seasons. His production has declined since 2010, when he averaged 17.1 yards and had seven TDs.

- Crackled Glass Is Pretty
- Changing Batteries Often
Best Uses
I purchased 3 lights. They worked beautifully the first two nights. They don't have an on/off switch, you just put them in the sun and the sun should charge the battery so it stays lit during the night. The third day, I changed the batteries and they worked another two days. I think these should be called battery powered lights because I don't believe there is any solar charging going on.
I have these placed in full sun...9-10 hours of sun per day, but they only stay lit for a few hours even with fresh batteries. I have other solar powered lights that are truly solar powered and work all night and I've only had to change the batteries once over a two-year period.
The crackled glass is pretty in the daytime (even when not lit), but too expensive to purchase them for that reason only.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Solar powered globe, absorbs the sunlight by day and glows at night (like a planet in the sky). Colors are beautiful - and the piece adds to the garden design. We had two of these solar globes before - and the globe on one shattered. We will see how this one holds up.

- Landscape lighting
I purchased 6 of these and used them on the border of a landscape planting. One quit working within a couple of days and the people at Gardener's Supply replaced it free of charge (Their customer service is Great!!!). Well, It's only been about a month since the original purchase and I'm down to three working. I don't have much faith in the others lasting much longer. They really are neat when they work. I hope that others who purchased these are having better luck. Sad...

Best Uses
- Lights Shine Like Flowers
Sorry to say that two of the three replacements did not shine,
even with new batteries. Same full-day light as the ones which work six feet away. In past years, I have ordered lights with a lily, a bird or a starburst to alternate on the tops, and they are still glowing. This current globe design is just not as reliable, though the price was the same.
I do appreciate your kindness in replacing the faulty product a few weeks ago, and I will continue to order other items from your fine company. But not that globe light.
When the others work -- I have six of the globes -- they are stunningly beautiful.

Best Uses

This product looks beautiful in the evening. Only problem was that it came on too quickly and drained the battery too quickly as well. I made a slight modification to it with a new solar cell and it works great. It is a sturdy item and looks great surrounded by my mom's lilies!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Looks great
- Construction Not So Great
Best Uses
- In the garden
The Northern Lights Spheres really look great and cool when they are working. However, I've had two of the glass spheres become loose and rain got inside. We had to re-glue them back on. We've also had trouble with the batteries. Finding replacements is expensive. Replacements don't recharge due to lack of voltage or too much voltage. Finding an exact match is difficult and very pricey! I still like them but I wish they worked better and didn't cost me extra money and headaches.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I have had these lights before but the new ones are made so much better. The glass ball on top screws on and is a much better quality. The batteries on one lasted a day and the other about 4 days. Living in a small town I could not find replacements. I called customer service and they were so nice to work with.

Even if it works now, it will likely not work at all after 4.3. But if it's something you insist on doing now may be your only chance. Just remember it's not Blizzards intent to ever support it, so the potential big changes might break it somehow.
Pre-threat boost tanking with DW was useless since we've had problems keeping aggro as only main hand was counted into it. Now, that Blizz gave us 500% threat from our attacks threat problems are minor. So, why we shouldn't be tanking with DW, having two tank weapons that are claerly giving us much more avoidance than 2h?
I'm not sure if it works like that so any comments are welcome.
Even if it works now, it will likely not work at all after 4.3. But if it's something you insist on doing now may be your only chance. Just remember it's not Blizzards intent to ever support it, so the potential big changes might break it somehow.
"This is the very stuff that causes cork taint." Maèl
I don't mean to be nit-picky. It would likely be possible, but since you asked "why not", here goes:
Tank 1 handers have 100 or less rating per stat. 2 handers have ~200 per stat. If you get a 2 hander with mastery, you are not actually losing much in stats. Additionally, if you can get exp or hit as the second stat on the 2 hander, this helps survivability with death strikes and the one handers may have the same stat anyways (soul blade etc).
For the trade off on 100-200 rating, you are losing a large amount of damage. Even if you don't need the damage for threat, it makes fights shorter and therefore, healing easier.
For what it's worth, that's just my opinion on why just because you can dual wield, you shouldn't.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
So in this tier (normal modes) this is your comparison:
I don't see the difference in stats as compelling enough to sacrifice the damage, a bit of extra dodge rating on the 2x1 handers goes up against more mastery and stam, plus a bunch of other (less useful but still beneficial) stats. Combine that with many of your styles doing less damage... not convinced.
eh, not until Blizz strap a 2h requirment on Heartstrike or Deathstrike. It's the same as warrior who PVE with Bloodcraze of Deep wounds, a big DPS loss fo a tiny Survivability increase. With the current state of tanking there's no real argument against it unless your extending the fight to the enrage or OOming your healers. Plus more bloodworms, which for a given definition, is FUN!
You will likely end up taking more damage over the course of a fight due to the dps loss.
It's not viable, there is no discussion to be had on this. It doesn't work, never has and never will. There is too much of a survivability loss with taking the points needed to dual wield with an effective amount of hit rating, making threat generation even worse when you have no expertise and your auto swings constantly miss, along with special abilities.
That is what you will gain. Roughly 2x the healing from blood wormsOriginally Posted by leethaxor

Avoidance issue caused by chardev.org being bugged.
Now what about damage? The below snippet, is from last tier, and based around 359 ilvl weapons. Since scaling is still very similar (see same xpack, we can likely assume its hold true, if you force me I will redo it).

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
That didn't make sense to me, so I dug a bit. Looks like chardev doesn't recognise the 2% parry from the offhand rune. You can see this yourself: change the offhand rune to nerubian carapace then back to swordbreaking. The armor value goes up when you select nerubian carapace (as you'd expect) but the parry chance remains unchanged when you switch it back to swordbreaking. I am not aware of any limitation that states you can only use 1 weapon with swordbreaking, and I think that missing 2% would close the gap.
The damage you lose from going with 2 1H weapons vs a 2H will not out weight the minuscule extra healing you receive from a couple extra blood worms. Using 2 1H will make the fight longer thus making your healers more likely to go oom and even if you did gain more avoidance your healers will never notice it. Though they will notice the fight last longer. There's been a couple time on shannox where rageface was near me and my healer was getting faceraged but I was able to hit him with a 30k+ DS and break him out potentially saving the raid. besides it's nice to see those big crits as a tank every so often.
Hate to say I'm a convert, in equal ilvl weapons DW may out perform 2h POST 4.3.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
after miss/parry/dodge Death Strike still gives the absorb, perhaps. As it stands, not yet... but we might see.
Also with the 4.3 melee buffs and a 'passive' melee buff in the Dragon Soul instance itself. We may start seeing more melee dps, which may buff blood worms even more (I know we are talking about a very small heal), but can anyone confirm how the blood worm mechanic works?
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I hate to be nonconstructive, but I can't believe this is still around...
It has been said time and time again.. Can you do it? Sure. But you are not using your character and tools to their optimum capability.
If that is okay with you and the people you are with, have at it.
I've seen more DK tanks trying to DW tank these days, if I'm healing I usually just leave the group, if I'm feeling particularly nasty I let the them pull first; maybe two weapons will give them block - frankly, I've just grown weary of stupid. I've been focused on pvp geared dps in randoms too these days, they don't get heals - maybe they'll get the message to back to their BG or arena.
Guess I've just lost all patience.
If you sim it, the 371-384 pvp gear is better than the 346-353 and even a lot of 359s for most classes. Plus, dps isn't that important in heroics with a 15% buff.

Seeing frost dw is the best dps for dks ATM, you might want to second guess your opinion about dps using pvp items. Not all of us are doing it for sheer laziness. (and don't give me that "go farm bwl" crap either. That's not an option for some)

"Damnit!" - Jack Bauer, 24

I'm a big vinyl enthusiast, but even I can admit that there's more mainstream interest in digital audio. The problem with traditional playback of such files, whether compressed MP3s or higher-res FLAC and AIFF formats, is a system usually revolves around a computer. Macs and PCs can certainly offer serviceable interfaces for cataloging and selecting music, with programs such as iTunes or MediaMonkey, but they can also introduce adverse factors, like clocking, soundcard and physical computer noise issues. Plus, depending on your setup you could be juggling the equalization of the PC's soundcard, the music aggregator software and whatever A/V receiver you may have connected with a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
Canadian manufacturer Bryston has seen the future of music playback, and it's basically a CD player without the disc. The company simply calls it a digital player, which it boldly introduced as the BDP-1 (Bryston recently rolled out the second-gen BDP-2), and it removes the computer from the equation of an audiophile-grade digital system.
What's great about the BDP-1 is that it strips down the potentially daunting world of a computer-based audio system and rebuilds it as the more familiar component-based system. The silver chassis (also available in black) fits right in with other pieces from the company. It's sleek and slim, but at 12 pounds you know there's also plenty under the hood. However, the company notes that the BDP-1 does not have moving parts or a hard drive, which also makes it a nice, silent option over a computer's fan noise.
Bryston says the inside features "a fanless motherboard with an integrated processor and flash drive memory," running essentially a Linux lite operating system. The Bryston-modified soundcard can play native resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, and the company adds that the BDP-1 boots in read-only mode to avoid system crashes.
How do you play files? Two USB ports on the left side of the front panel let you connect thumb drives or larger USB hard drives, presumably brimming with content (that you've loaded via a computer). There's a small onscreen display, and the right side of the front includes conventional navigation buttons (previous, next, stop, play, pause) to complement up/down/right/left arrows.
The rear panel includes S/PDIF and dedicated AES/EBU XLR balanced outputs, plus Ethernet and RS-232 control ports, and two more USB 2.0 ports. Bryston's BR-2 can be used, as well as iOS and Android devices (with proper apps), for remote controls.
The BDP-1 was easy to integrate into my system. Although it can be connected directly to some Bryston integrated amplifiers and preamps via their optional DAC modules, the BDP-1 otherwise requires an external DAC so Bryston shipped it to me with its excellent BDA-1 (which also got a recent next-gen release, BDA-2).
I connected the BDP-1 to the BDA-1 via the AES/EBU using the included cable, and kept the balanced XLR chain going by using a pair of balanced Clarus Aqua cables to hook into the 2-channel inputs of my Anthem D2v preamplifier. The rest of my setup includes balanced connection to Anthem's P5 amplifier and Clarus Aqua speaker cables running bi-wired to Paradigm Studio 20 bookshelf speakers.
How the BDP-1 and BDA-1 look stacked>
I also ran an Ethernet cable from the BDP-1 to my home network router, and used the Bryston "Mini" browser interface of my iPod touch to select tracks. All I had to do was plug the BDP-1's IP address into the Safari browser to get the Mini interface working, and its basic functions were simple to command.

We've seen a lot of Star Trek-themed theaters over the years (like here, here and here). However, one DIYer didn't just ogle over the pictures and comment about what he would have done better. He was actually inspired to build his own room, and document the build on YouTube.
A YouTuber named davidegg22 says that his project was inspired by Gary Reighn's "Bridge" home theater seen on Electronic House. The 10-week build in 2010 went in three stages. First, David installed wall treatments with the star ports. Next, he fired up LCARS on a Dell laptop and installed an Optoma TX1080 1080p DLP projector, a 120-inch screen, and 7.1 sound. To complete the project, he installed turbo-lift doors, lighting, and a variety of finishing touches.
Check out davidegg22's 10-minute YouTube video, which documents the building process:
Other tweaks include X10 lighting, a Sony Blu-ray player and Western Digital's WDTV box connected to a 1TB hard disk and 5TB media server. If you're looking to ogle (or be inspired by) the finished project, check out the video below. Just know that David says, "Yes, my wife is happy!"

Hi Chris, They have a water-resitant exterior. So as long as you keep the lid buckled shut they can take quite a bit of rain. I have had mine for about 6 months and it has been left out in the rain a far amount and shows no major sign of damage.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate the number of red blood cells (RBCs); used to screen for, help diagnose, or monitor conditions affecting red blood cells
When to Get Tested?
As part of a complete blood count (CBC), during a health examination, or when your doctor suspects that you have a condition such as anemia (decreased number of RBCs) or polycythemia (increased number of RBCs)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or by a fingerstick (children and adults) or heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are cells that circulate in the blood and carry oxygen throughout the body. The RBC count totals the number of red blood cells that are present in a person's sample of blood. It is one test among several that is included in a complete blood count (CBC), which is often used in the general evaluation of a person's health.
Blood is made up of a few different types of cells suspended in fluid called plasma. In addition to RBCs, there are white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets. These cells are produced in the bone marrow and are released into the bloodstream as they mature. RBCs typically make up about 40% of the blood volume. RBCs contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and enables RBCs to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs of the body. RBCs also help transport a small portion of carbon dioxide, a product of cell metabolism, from those tissues and organs back to the lungs where it is expelled.
The typical lifespan of an RBC is 120 days; thus the bone marrow must continually produce new RBCs to replace those that age and degrade or are lost through bleeding. There are a number of conditions that can affect the production of new RBCs and/or their lifespan, in addition to those conditions that may result in significant bleeding. These conditions may lead to a rise or drop in the RBC count.
Changes in the RBC count usually mirror changes in the hematocrit and hemoglobin level. When the values of the RBC count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin decrease below the established reference interval, the person is said to be anemic. When the RBC and hemoglobin values increase above the normal range, the person is said to be polycythemic. Too few RBCs can affect the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues, while too many RBCs can make the blood thicker, causing slowed blood flow and related problems.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or by collecting blood from a fingerstick (for children and adults) or a heelstick (for newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

text: It can be hard to find those elusive bugs and insects unless you know how to go about it. Sometimes those bits of wild unattended land can produce worthy subjects, and so can our own gardens if we know how to search. It takes time, and casually walking about usually only succeeds in scaring off any subjects. I find it best to sit near a shrub keeping still for a while, because your approach will have alerted any bug and it will slide out of sight, but when it perceives that there is no danger it usually appears again. I keep slowly moving around from shrubs to plants and NEVER get between the sun and a subject as this will tell it a predator is about to pounce and off it goes. Keeping very still after each time you move will pay off, just watch and observe what's happening in the greenery and it's surprising what you'll see that you didn't see at first. Moths have amazing camoflage and can only be seen after staring for a while at each leaf in turn. Each plant and shrub will have it's own types of guests, I only found out this morning that a brown and green shiny bug lives in our Lavender shrub, and nowhere else. It can be seen in the gallery. Yes patience is needed to find our macro subjects, but it pays off. A little practice is very useful and a lot of knowledge will be gained on what lives where, and how to photograph our little tiny friends. It's well worth practicing macro photography when there may be not much else going on, in the garden there's always something happening!.

Alabama senior linebacker Trey DePriest will sit out the season opener against West Virginia on Saturday because of an undisclosed NCAA rules violation.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban emphasized the suspension, without getting into specifics, was for one game only.
Sophomore Reuben Foster will replace DePriest at middle linebacker and junior Reggie Ragland will make his first start at weakside linebacker.
A preseason All-SEC pick, DePriest has started 26 of 40 games in his career. Last year, he totaled 65 tackles, including 7 1/2 for a loss and two sacks, two fumble recoveries and one interception.
DePriest was slowed by a knee injury at the start of training camp. Last year, he was suspended from the team before preseason camp began.
Saban said sophomore cornerback Eddie Jackson, who had knee surgery in the spring, would be available Saturday.
"I wouldn't rule out the fact he can play in this game," Saban said, according to Al.com. "But I would rather go in to the game thinking we would use him if we needed to rather than pushing him in the game."

Sound Card
Two programs, run as root, may help with finding your soundcard:
What kind of sound card do you have? You can find details running:
/sbin/lspci and
/sbin/lspci -vv
If you have a blag install you can get further info by running:
BLAGifying RedHat9
The best way is with apt. You must first install apt as it doesn't come with rh9.
To install apt, run:
rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.5cnc6-4blag.rh9.i386.rpm
This will download & get your system current with latest rh9 package releases:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
You can then install specific blag applications thusly:
apt-get install lshw mplayer audacity
etc...listing which programs you want.
You can also do it via cd, by exploring the apt-cdrom program.
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 4:38 am
Post subject:
You can add blag to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ by adding a file there called blag.list with the contents:
9000/i386 os updates errata
9000/i386 extras
For BLAG10000 (the next major release) I plan on being as compatible with the "mega-merge" as possible. That's the combined efforts of dag/aptrpms/freshrpms/newrpms/dries. See:
I don't think you'll see major conflicts with them right now, just as long as you don't do a
apt-get dist-upgrade
with all of them enabled. If you're going to have a really repository-mixed box I recommend chosing the package from the "authoritative" maintainer of the mega-merge and if it's not in there grab it from BLAG.

Hi jebba!
Yesterday was a very busy day for me. I couldn't answer you before.
The two sound cards that haven't been detected were a. ENSONIC 5880 Audio PCI and b. C-Media CM 8738.
I had also troubles installing BLAG on the P 233 MMX. It was impossible to boot via CDRom. I had modified it to be able to boot from the CDRom and arrived to install both FEDORA 1 and RedHAt 9 but i just couldn't get to the CD boot to BLAG. I tried also to make a floppy with the image of BLAG but it just refuses to boot. I arrived till the first prompt (boot: ) and then a big nothing..
I intended to install the deskblag option but at no avail...
If you have any other insight I'll be very glad to try it.
By the way, I did an apt-cdrom to my home computer and got the media stuff working. Maybe it will be worthable to write some HOWTOS on the wiki's pages. Since long time I wish I could hear internet radio on in a *nix box. It works like a charm...

I don't quite get this. You are able to get to the
prompt, but not after that? What happens if you just hit enter? Or type "deskblag" then enter? I've heard of people not being able to boot CDs on really old systems, but if they get to the "boot:" prompt, they are usually home free.
Also, I suggest burning CDs at 2x or 4x, especially when they are going to be used on an older system.

BLAG iso's are make with the same mkisofs command used to build RH9.
One difference is that the BLAG .iso is for a 700 meg CD, but RH9 is for 650 meg CDs. It could be that your (old?) cdrom drive can't read 700 meg discs. That's sort of a shot in the dark, but it's about the only difference I can think of.
Do I understand correctly that the CD works fine though when you boot from floppy? If it does, then it means the above doesn't apply and there is something else going on. If it doesn't work when you boot from floppy either, then it could be the disk size issue. What kind of CDROM drive do you have? You can find out info about it by running `dmesg` or `lshw`.
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2004 6:10 pm
Post subject:
Perhaps it has been burned wrong? Sometimes the ISO is burned as a data file rather than an image. If you use Windows with Nero, then you need to click File > Burn Image rather than just dragging it from the right pane to the left.
Also I have to burn my CD's at 8x or under to get them to read in my older machines. So maybe you have burned yours at a higher speed? I would be happy to mail you a fully working and tested CD if you want.
Posted: Sat Mar 27, 2004 10:02 am
Post subject:
If knoppix is using 650+ megs on that system, then it can read 700 meg CDs fine.
If you can read the CD in other computers, it is likely burned fine.
Sooo....The answer is I don't have an answer.
I didn't see what kind of drive it is in the dmesg. But the dmesg looks OK. Also, it's a 12x drive, so it's recent enough.
a bit perplexed on this one,
-Jeff (who will think about this throughout the day!)

Ok, the magic line I was looking for was:
hdc: MATSHITA CR-584, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
There's a bit about that drive having a problem booting FreeBSD too:
Is the media you used CD-R/W instead of just CD-R? If so, try CD-R media instead.
