I'm a little confused on the concept of hearing music in your head. I dont think I really do that. Some people I know say they can hear specific instruments as they "listen". Do I not have the wiring, or is it less hearing and more trying to recreate?
You're absolutely right: not everyone can do this, although it's rare to have no 'inner ear' at all. Most people's inner ear improves as they receive musical training; as you're asking on this particular site, I'm guessing you've either had some or are keen to begin.
Don't let this worry you. You may find that you only think musically when you're actually playing or actively experimenting. There's also a distinct advantage you have: getting a tune stuck in my head can keep me awake for several hours!
This is how I see it... Imagine something you've seen often. Can you "see" it in your head? Maybe you don't get a very detailed image but you'll probably see something. And I don't mean it should look like the image is actually coming through your eyes, you just kind of remember the image; the shapes, colors, some details. Similarly you might be able to remember how something feels, like how does it feel to touch the doorknob, etc.
The same way you can remember how a piece of music sounds. If you've listened to a piece many, many times you might remember it pretty well and be able to "play" it in your head. You don't actually hear it, but remember the aural image, foreground melodies, rhythms, probably some harmonies etc. If that image is detailed enough, you can really "listen" to it. For example you can follow different lines than usual or concentrate on large scale structure or whatever. And yes, you can hear specific instruments. For example you don't only hear the melody, but you hear how the melody sounds, which includes the timbre of the instrument.
You can also, at least to some extent, change it, just like you can imagine something you have not actually seen. Or if you're really good you can imagine a completely new piece. You can in your mind create the instrumentation, harmonies, melodies, rhythms, dynamics, anything (maybe not in full detail if you're not Mozart).
Listening to music is something we learn. It is cultural. In order to hear a sound and be able to read its elements you need training, exposure to music and the way music is made. Sound is, for the most part, a two dimensional type of information -- the air pressure in your ears and the time --. Since the pressure goes up and down in time people call it a wave, the sound wave.
When instruments are played, the pressure in the air produced by them is added together. Like 2+9, which gives 11. In principle, from 11 you cannot recover that it was 2 and 9 the numbers you added. It could have been 1+10. In the same way, from a given music, played by a violin and a piano for example, it is not determined that a piano and a violin were played together to produce that sound. For example, you can take, in a computer, the same wave and decompose it into the sum of two other waves (or more if you want), each of which doesn't have to correspond to the sound of a piano or a violin.
The reason we are able to make an educated guess that the sound comes from a piano and a violin is precisely that, education, experience. We have listened to pianos and violins and have learned (roughly) what sounds they can make. We humans are fairly good at pattern recognition and that is what we do. We detect rough patterns in the sound that reminds us of the sounds we have heard in past experiences.
This said. Even very experienced musicians can listen to the sound of an ensemble of many many instruments and miss detecting some of them if the music is complicated enough. Or at least it may take them listen to the sound many times.
If you lack the skill. That is not such a big problem. You can get it just by listening to music. Specially try some in which there are parts in which instruments play solo and then together. Even better if what they play solo is the same as what they play together. That way you build the memories of how the instrument sounds by itself and you can practice decomposing the sound when they play together into the sum of the different instruments.
Edit: I see. I mistook the "can hear specific instruments as they "listen"". Well, in that case, that "listen in your head" is most of the times using your memory of sounds you have heard and is far from the act of listening. On the other hand, there are also neurological conditions that make you actually hear sounds without external stimulus. In The man who mistook his wife for a hat, by Oliver Sacks, he talks about some cases like this. Many of us can also have small acoustic hallucinations, small rings, bangs, or buzzing in your ears (not coming from physical vibrations in your body like the blood flow). I personally have experienced some after long periods of sleep deprivation.
I don't hear music in my head at all... But when I write music, especially on a computer, I sort of hear instruments parts that are not actually here... I think it's a matter of practice, both in learning pieces and in composing yours. I think actually hearing music in one's head depends on an actual academic training : once you've learn rules of composition, you happends to hear what is supposed to come after following these rules...and then later on your musical path, you should or should not have a need to go beyond these rules.

Hollywood Hunt
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley breaks down Kathryn Bigelow's latest film 'Zero Dark Thirty.'
WASHINGTON - Its access to classified intel and depiction of detainee torture have made it a target on Capitol Hill. Now, you can see for yourself as "Zero Dark Thirty" hits theaters nationwide.
Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, the film reunites director Kathryn Bigelow with writer Mark Boal after their Iraq War thriller and Oscar triumph "The Hurt Locker" (2008).
The duo originally set out to tell the 10-year hunt for Osama bin Laden, until reality re-wrote their ending with Bin Laden's killing on May 2, 2011 at 12:30 a.m. The timing gave it a new title and a more satisfying conclusion, avoiding the fate of David Fincher's "Zodiac" (2007), where audiences complained that the killer was never caught.
Move over, Jodie Foster. There's a new heroine orchestrating a night-vision climax in the monster's lair.
Jessica Chastian gives an Oscar-nominated performance as Maya, a determined C-I-A agent who starts off timid, then builds enough guts to look C.I.A. Director Leon Panetta (James Gandolfini) in the eye and say that she's the "mother you know what" that found bin Laden. Even in her deepest despair, she remains defiant, saying, "I'm gonna smoke everyone involved in this op, and then I'm going to kill bin Laden."
Unlike Clarice's quest to silence her childhood lambs, Maya's backstory is virtually nonexistent. While this might doom most movies, the absence of context here underscores that Maya's life is the mission, reflected in the final scene where a pilot asks her, "Where do you wanna go now?" Are her tears the culmination of relief, or the bittersweet realization that the mission is over? Will she return to Washington? Or will she return to the desert like Jeremy Renner in "The Hurt Locker?"
Bigelow has truly found her niche in capturing gritty tales of valiant heroes. Thanks to an Oscar-nominated script and Oscar-nominated editing, Bigelow's pace is swift, covering a decade of al-Qaeda attacks in an on-going chess match between Maya and bin Laden. The film moves so well that it's easy to overlook the symbolic details, showing the culture clash between U.S. choppers and Pakistani goats and foreshadowing danger with a black cat crossing the screen before a suicide bombing.
Perhaps her greatest strength is knowing that "less is more." Rather than using parallel action to show bin Laden scrambling inside the compound, we experience the raid strictly from the P.O.V. of the SEALs. Bin Laden's killshot has no artificial buildup; just a shot in the dark needing further confirmation. Even after Bin Laden is dead, we don't see a full shot of his face, only quick images on a cell-phone camera and a partial beard protruding from a body bag.
Some lawmakers have complained about the film's implication that enhanced interrogation led to the discovery of bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti. Indeed, the film depicts horrific waterboarding, dog-leash humiliation and a claustrophobic box, all at the helm of interrogator Jason Clarke, who brilliantly shifts from intimidating to conciliatory. However, the key piece of info is actually revealed during a bluff scene at a picnic table. Was this the result of all the torture in previous scenes, or is Bigelow saying the truth finally came out in a moment of calm?
The way you interpret it probably depends on your own politics. Bigelow knows the truth is murky and remains as impartial as possible, showing both the strategic fruits and moral horrors of harsh interrogation. Unlike National Geographic's "SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden," which was re-editing to include more of President Obama just before the 2012 Election, the president only appears once in "Zero Dark Thirty," on a television during his "60 Minutes" interview proclamation that "America doesn't torture." Bigelow doesn't want to be a politician; she wants to be a documentarian.
Her style seems hell-bent on realistic military tradecraft, matching the true-to-life tactics of "Act of Valor" (2011), only with real actors like Chris Pratt, whose impressed reaction to Maya's mission is priceless. The realism is brought to life by Oscar-nominated sound editing, from the silenced whoosh of the Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters to the pop of the SEALs' laser-guided fire. As the choppers take off over the mountains under the cover of night, composer Alexandre Desplat's escalating score brings us chills, though he was nominated instead this year for Ben Affleck's "Argo" (2012).
The fact that "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" were nominated for Best Picture while "Skyfall" was not, shows that the best C.I.A. tales are plucked from reality. Ironically, Affleck and Bigelow were snubbed for Best Director, a category the latter won for "The Hurt Locker." Perhaps voters felt she's had her turn, despite the "Hurt Locker's" inferiority to "Zero Dark Thirty." In life and Oscar politics, the power of the present (a gritty Iraq War flick) can distract us from the long game (an epic hunt for bin Laden).
Fifty years from now, when listmakers compile their best lists, "Zero Dark Thirty" may be the one chosen to represent the Bigelow-Boal partnership. Their collaborative lens will mark our time of war, mining Oscar gold from Middle Eastern sand and proving film cameras can deliver the most powerful shots heard round the world. And so we'll look back on Maya as a proxy for Bigelow: both determined women showing the boys how it's done, achieving the ultimate success in their respective careers, only to be asked, "Where do you want to go from here?"

INDIANAPOLIS — One day after clinching a share of the Big East title, Cincinnati coach Butch Jones visited Purdue.
A person with knowledge of the trip but who requested anonymity because the school is not providing updates of its coaching search told The Associated Press that Jones was in town Sunday.
He is considered one of this season's hottest coaching projects — and is generally regarded as the Boilermakers' top target to replace Danny Hope. Hope was fired last Sunday after four mostly mediocre seasons with the Boilermakers.
Athletic director Morgan Burke took part in a short news conference Sunday evening regarding Purdue's selection to the Heart of Dallas Bowl , which will be played Jan. 1 Burke did not take questions about the coaching search.

Phoebe Philo's minimalist aesthetic is a key inspirational force in fashion today. You can't go far without finding the influence of her signature streamlining simplicity. Trouble is, this is a world with a notoriously low boredom threshold that has been raised on seasonal change and fast fashion. Fashion show audiences find it hard to adapt to progress that is based on evolution rather when they have become addicted to radical change.
But the Celine customer is a woman who spends large amounts of money, safe in the knowledge that the designer won't abandon her for a vision that makes her wardrobe irrelevant from one season to the next.
Simple, long sleeved, rounded necked wool shift dresses in earthy brown were worn with mid heeled shoes. Skinny trousers that zipped over the same masculine inspired courts were worn with tailored A line layers of jackets over tunics. The base layer throughout was a second skin white polo neck.
I am loving the tunic and trousers as an option to the skirt suit this season and Celine's were particularly good, cut slim and hip length in chocolate crepe over straight legged trousers. The pursuit of simplicity can sometimes be achieved at the cost of femininity. Some of the jackets sculpted in high tech double face fabrics teetered to far over to the austere side. But sweeping A line coats dropping from collarless necks to mid calf had loads of evening drama and still had a sharp day time silhouette.
In the separates, the simplicity had a 1960's feeling: the polish of a Hitchcock heroine (

WASHINGTON - As a jury weighs murder charges against a Philadelphia doctor, an anti-abortion rights group rallied to draw attention to an abortion doctor here in the District.
This week, the Arlington, Va.-based Live Action released a hidden-camera video of a pregnant woman consulting with Dr. Cesare Santangelo. In the video, he says if a baby lives through a failed abortion, its survival depends on how "vigorously" it's taken care of.
The comments sparked the rally in front of Santangelo's office at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in Foggy Bottom Wednesday.
"We will not go away until Santangelo is investigated and prosecuted," said Lila Rose, the founder of Live Action.
Rose also said she was in talks with the management of the building and hoped the doctor would be evicted.
Rose accused Santangelo of being "willing to practice infanticide."
Other speakers called for immediate action by law enforcement agencies and politicians.
Meanwhile, supporters of Live Action were met by volunteers from the Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force.
Paul Valette said the task force normally escorts patients and their friends and family into buildings actively blocked by protesters. He said there were no conflicts in this case.
"This was intended, clearly to be a rally and not an effort to stop patients from entering the building," according to Valette.
Valette said that although his group technically takes no stand on the issue of abortion, he found the video to be sensational and akin to entrapment.

Another reviewer, in the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, wrote that the symphony was 'rather less learned and easier to take in than some other recent works of his, yet equally rich in new ideas'. One inspired novelty is the 'fairy' scoring for flute and oboes of the Allegro's first theme, whose outline had been prefigured in the slow introduction. This turns up in the key of the dominant, D major, before Haydn introduces an even catchier melody, the inspiration for Johann Strauss the Elder's famous Radetzky March composed in the wake of the 1848 Viennese Revolution. Like the equivalent, popular-style tune in No 99, this late-arriving theme then proceeds to hijack the musical argument, through the notably explosive development and the truncated recapitulation, to the most glittering, orchestrally virtuosic coda of Haydn's career.
The courtly opening of the minuet (whose leisurely pacing offsets the symphony's 'fast' slow movement) is deceptive. The music later grows truculent with cross-rhythms, and then chromatically wistful. Even the exquisitely well-bred trio is momentarily disrupted by military-style fanfares. The bellicose 'Turkish' battery returns at the end of the finale, raucously capping a tarantella-style movement that develops its 'kittenish' (Tovey's word) main theme and a comically sparring second subject with fantastic intricacy and harmonic sleight-of-hand, not least in the development's mysterious mock fugato in the far-distant key of C sharp minor.

You're actually under hit and expertise caps (hit is 5%, expertise is 26).
Even though hit is 5% a lot of fury warriors like to go past that to get more offhand hits in for better rage flow and to allow them to keep a rotation up while heroic striking with the main hand. Your comfort level will vary.
Your spec looks fine, keep in mind that Glyph of Cleaving is for aoe fights and Glyph of Heroic Strike is better for single targets.
Aside from random gear drops I'm not sure what else to tell you.

How are Me to We trips unique?
Me to We trips are unique in that each trip works in collaboration with our charitable partner, Free The Children. An international development organization and educational partner, Free The Children has established partnerships with the communities where Me to We trips travel. The strong partnerships that Free The Children has with local communities and governments allow Me to We trips the unique opportunity to offer our participants the chance to truly interact and engage with developing communities overseas.
This partnership allows participants to see Free The Children's sustainable Adopt a Village development model in practice, which is driven first and foremost by the local community and local needs. The purpose of each trip is to compliment and advance the work of Free The Children through meaningful volunteer opportunities. Free The Children's on-the-ground operations employ fulltime and permanent staff 12 months of the year to ensure that local development projects are completed and to guide trip participants during their time as volunteers.
Furthermore, Me to We trips are driven by the goal of creating systemic change—for the participants and within the communities where they travel. We are different from other volunteer tour providers because we offer trips that aren't just built for travelers, but built for the benefit of the communities that the trips travel to.
Each trip has four areas of focus:
- Community-based learning through interactions with community members where Free The Children works, and in-country discussion and education about the issues that affect developing countries.
- Volunteerism to learn about sustainable change in partnership with the community.
- Leadership development to equip participants with the tools they need to act on their education and experiences upon their return home.
- Access to a community of like-minded individuals upon return from the trip to give each participant a network that they can rely on and engage with to encourage lifelong active global citizenship. This community —which includes programming coordinators, We Day events, leadership academies, and more—offers tangible ways for trip participants to take real action to ensure that the Me to We trip is the first step in their own larger, sustained journey towards changing the world for the better.
How does Me to We work with Free The Children on these trips?
Free The Children and Me to We are partner organizations; Free The Children is a charity and Me to We is a social enterprise that supports that charity. While the two organizations work closely together, they operate independently from one another. Me to We and Free The Children each have their own separate board of directors, staff, accounting and auditing. A legal framework governs the relationship between Me to We and Free The Children.
Free The Children carries out international development work through a holistic and sustainable model called Adopt a Village. This model is supported by youth from around the world who fundraise to support these development initiatives, and the funds that are raised go towards creating sustainable education, healthcare, clean water, sanitation and alternative income projects within the communities where Free The Children has long-standing programs. As Free The Children's partner organization, Me to We supports this model through trips where participants work on Free The Children projects. However, these trips are wholly operated by Me to We.
Half of Me to We's annual profit is donated to Free The Children, while the other half is re-invested to support Me to We's growth in offering trips and other choices for a better world. Moreover, 145,600 volunteer hours were proudly served by participants on Me to We trips in 2010.
What is Free The Children's Adopt a Village development model?
The Adopt a Village model focuses on four pillars that are crucial to holistic development. Together, they empower entire communities to break the cycle of poverty. These pillars are education, alternative income, health care and clean water and sanitation.
Active since 1995, Free The Children selects their communities based on a needs-assessment in partnership with local community members. The work is carried out in rural or remote communities that suffer from a lack of social services, or with indigenous populations that have historically been marginalized.
The Adopt a Village model started with a focus on school-building alone. However, the Free The Children team quickly realized that girls could not attend because they had numerous household chores and responsibilities, such as fetching water (a job that can take hours each day), which prevented them from attending school as boys do.
That's when Free The Children began to build water wells and clean water projects near schools, allowing girls to fulfill their responsibilities while also accessing a quality education.
By 2004, Free The Children had fully introduced its Adopt a Village model—holistic and sustainable, and in complete partnership with the communities in which they work. In addition to schools and water wells, Free The Children introduced the health care pillar (unhealthy children tend not to be attentive in class or even in attendance), and the alternative income programs to empower mothers to gain the financial independence, which ensures they can support their families and keep their children in classrooms.
However, the critical difference between Free The Children and other organizations lies in the fact that Free The Children employs staff in the Adopt a Village countries to work side-by-side with community members in all development projects.
Free The Children aims to work with each community on long-term development and create holistic, sustainable solutions. All elements of Free The Children's Adopt a Village model are designed to be owned and maintained by the community, and self-sustained after five years of project implementation.
This level of self sustainability is achieved by:
- engaging and collaborating with local community members at the outset of any development project in order to address the issues that community members have identified as important.
- developing and building the capacity of community members to assume leadership and management of the implemented projects.
- providing families (especially women) with opportunities to participate in alternative income and micro-credit programs, and equipping them with the skills and tools—such as financial literacy training, business planning workshops and leadership seminars—to be successful entrepreneurs and give back to their community.
- developing the potential of "merry go rounds" (and other similar traditional lending and savings initiatives) to increase income and livelihood for families.
- tackling local environmental issues and providing solutions based on indigenous knowledge to ensure programs can be sustained by both community and the land.
How is the development work in which the participants are involved meaningful?
The goal of Me to We trips is to create systemic change for the participants and the communities where they travel. Our trips are not just built for travelers, but for the benefit of the communities they travel to. For that reason, Me to We strives to ensure that every element of the trip is truly meaningful, particularly the development work that trip participants carry out.
Me to We ensures that the development projects are meaningful by working exclusively on Free The Children's Adopt a Village projects—projects that are driven by the local community and local needs. The collaboration and sustained involvement of community members ensures that the development projects will be successful. Since they have been engaged every step of the way, local community members are proud, equal partners in these holistic projects. This results in local support for the development projects, which leads to community upkeep and long-term ownership of all initiatives.
Additionally, the experience teaches participants and community members valuable global lessons. Through Me to We's community-based approach, trip participants are given the unique opportunity to work alongside community members, which helps to expand their world views by experiencing different culture, language and customs.
Me to We trips gives participants the chance to explore the diversity that exists in the world by exposing them to the joys and challenges faced by our host countries. They gain hands-on experience with access to communities in need, which often results in a greater sense of empathy, compassion and understanding. Many participants remark that they gain a deeper respect for the environment and commit to sustainable living as a result.
During the trip, participants engage in leadership training, skill-building workshops and action planning to equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to give back to their own communities once they return home. Recognizing that the most important aspect of the experience begins after the trip, Me to We also offers resources and opportunities for sustained engagement with Me to We and Free The Children.
All trip participants have access to a community of like-minded individuals upon return from the trip. They are connected with a network of programming coordinators, facilitators and like-minded travelers. Together, they learn to give back and stay engaged through a variety of campaigns, conferences, events and more.
Me to We trips leave a powerful impact on participants, but most importantly they motivate individuals to change the world for the better.
How do you ensure that communities are not dependent on the services provided by trip participants?
Me to We's policy is to promote solidarity, not charity. By this we mean that Me to We encourages trip participants to work alongside the community members as their equal peers, and not to bring donations or gifts.
Free The Children is the charity and development organization that oversees the fundraising required to ensure financial stability of the development projects. However, on a Me to We trip, participants are not travelling to offer handouts or to change the ways of others. They travel to learn and share with community members in order to gain a valuable experience.
Does building continue on the projects when the trips aren't in-country? Who takes care of them?
Yes, building is carried on all year round by local contractors and construction workers. The build schedules and logistics are overseen by on-the-ground Free The Children staff to ensure that the projects run smoothly and that donations are being allocated to the communities in the most need. The contribution made by trip participants is just one aspect of the process.
What kinds of resources are available to participants upon return from a trip?
The most important part of the journey is when trip participants return back home. We know the value of the contribution travelers make once they return from a trip, which is why Me to We offers comprehensive reintegration and engagement resources and support.
While still in-country, travelers are provided with extensive training and action planning workshops that equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to take action once back at home. They are also fully briefed on reverse culture shock, a common experience for many travelers, and are provided with the support and counsel they need to get through that difficult time.
In addition to becoming part of a network, Me to We and Free The Children each offer tangible ways for trip participants to take action.
What is the expected impact and outcome of a Me to We trip?
Me to We trips are built for travelers and for the benefit of communities. The lessons learned and experiences gained through these travels are immeasurable.
For trip participants, the positive impacts include gaining hands on experience in sustainable development through community based learning, benefiting from leadership training, volunteering with community members, receiving cultural education, and much more. The connections with community members and fellow travelers that are made on the trips are a further positive outcome whereby travelers gain lasting relationship with others.
For the communities that we visit, there are countless positive impacts. Local community members benefit from the feeling of solidarity they experience with their peers from overseas, who have travelled far to help their communities. Through this, community members are empowered with a sense of pride for their land. Another clear outcome is how community members benefit from the contributions that travelers make to development projects. In 2010 alone, trip participants contributed 145,600 volunteer hours to development projects in Free The Children communities.
How do you offset the environmental impact of travel of a Me to We trip?
Me to We understands the environmental implications that international travel has on our planet and, in turn, we are committed to reducing our ecological footprint as much as possible. Me to We offsets the carbon foot print of each trip through organic produce grown in gardens at our centers used in preparing meals for participants, and through our tree nursery, which supports reforestation projects. In Kenya alone, Me to We plants 80,000+ trees a year.
But we don't stop there. At our office in Toronto, we guarantee that all our literature is printed on recycled paper and we use public transportation or hybrid vehicles to travel locally.
How do you ensure that the services provided by trip participants on the ground are needed in the community?
Me to We ensures that the development projects are needed by working exclusively on Free The Children's Adopt a Village model—projects that are driven by the local community and local needs. In other words, development projects are identified by community members themselves.
From there, the collaboration and sustained involvement of community members in the development projects help to ensure that the entire community values the projects. Because they have been engaged every step of the way, local community members are proud, equal partners in these holistic initiatives. As such, entire communities embrace the projects, resulting in the upkeep and long-term ownership of all projects.
Me to We trips range from 14 to 21 days. Is this really enough time to make an impact in the community and create real change?
Over more than a decade of operating volunteer trips, we have learned that trip participants' interactions with local communities, their contributions to development projects and education about unique culture and traditions will have a lifelong impact on both travellers and community members. Two to three weeks may seem minimal, but the knowledge and insights gained will last a lifetime.
During the trip, participants engage in leadership training, skill-building workshops and action planning to equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to give back to their own communities once they return home. What's more, the true impact of the trip takes place once the participant returns from the trip. It may sound strange, but volunteering is not the main reason to go abroad. Rather, volunteering is a way to take action upon your return. The volunteering we do on our trips is amazing, but the real power is when we come back home.
Once participants are back at home, Me to We offers resources, opportunities and connections with a network of like-minded travelers to ensure sustained engagement. Together, they encourage one another to give back and stay engaged.
Who leads Me to We trips?
Each Me to We trip is led and facilitated by trained and experienced staff who help the group understand the history and politics of the region, guide them through cultural understand and, of course, help with translation. Additionally, all of our group will have language lessons while they are in-country. These lessons are a useful tool for beginners to learn simple phrases and pleasantries so that they are able to interact with community members.
Me to We facilitators travel with participants at all times. When travelling within the community, participants are also accompanied by local guide(s).
How long have you been running trips in these countries?
Me to We has been facilitating international volunteer experiences for more than 10 years. We have well developed infrastructure within all the countries and communities to which we travel. As well, we have positive relationships with the local governments and the communities where the development work is carried out. The local medical centres are all well informed of the nature of our trips in case of any emergency.
What is included in the cost of a trip?
The ground price is all inclusive, meaning it includes all accommodation, travel within the country, three meals a day plus snacks, purified drinking water, Me to We facilitators, security guards, all in-country materials (e.g. language books) and in-country excursions (e.g. safari). Except for spending money and proper documentation (i.e. visa, exit fee) participants will not need to purchase anything else.
The price that we offer is a competitive rate to similar experiences in similar regions for similar durations. The price is all inclusive, meaning that there will be no hidden fees once you are in-country. This provides peace of mind once our participants are on the ground.
A Me to We trip offers people unique opportunities to give back to themselves and to communities. The lessons that will be learned and experiences that will be gained are immeasurable. Some of the experiences that travelers gain from trips include:
- Direct involvement in development work: Volunteering with Free The Children projects allows participants to engage in international development in a hands-on way.
- Leadership training: Our unique training gives participants the tools to create change at home, enabling travelers to use the experience gained from the trip as a catalyst for social action.
- Community interaction and cultural education: We have strong ties and a history with all the communities in which we are involved. Me to We Trips gives young people the chance to explore the diversity and contrasts that exist in the world by exposing them to both the joys and challenges faced by our host countries. They will not only visit historic landmarks and cultural sites, but also get unprecedented access to communities in need.
- Hands-on volunteering and the opportunity to give back in a meaningful way: Our trip opportunities give young people a new perspective on the world and their place in it. We're able to provide certification of participants' volunteer work for resumes, course credits, etc.
- Social issues education: Guest speakers, facilitators and in-country staff share their knowledge of the country and the issues it faces through lectures, reflections, informal discussions and cultural experiences.
- Renewed sense of community: Helping to redefine the sense of empathy, compassion and a full understanding of the power of communalism.
- Action planning: All participants set goals and build personalized action plans for making a difference when they return home from their trip.
How do you ensure all participants are safe and secure on their Me to We trip?
Safety and security is the number one priority for Me to We trips and we go to great lengths to ensure safety measures are integrated into every aspect of our trips. Me to We trips has been in operation since 1999 sending over 3,000 young people overseas to Kenya, India, China, Arizona/Mexico and Ecuador without incident.
Safety measures include the following:
- In preparation for a Me to We trip, all participants are registered with their respective embassy to ensure accountability in case of emergency.
- Travel advisories are monitored by international and country offices at all times to ensure Me to We trip participants have a safe experience.
- Copies of all passports, medical and travel insurance, emergency contact information, dietary and medical requirements are collected well in advance of the trip by our international office.
- Communication is consistently open 24 hours a day between in-country teams and our international office.
- 24 hour security personal are present on all Me to We trips.
- Me to We Trip facilitators go through rigorous training before leaving North America. Each facilitator must participate in training twice a year, which is led by advanced leadership trainers and the Executive Director of Me to We Trips. During this time facilitators spend hours receiving standard first aid and CPR training, learn how to identify and work with youth experiencing emotional or behavioural challenges and spend hours learning about work place safety and proper building techniques. This training ensures that trip participants have a safe and life-changing experience.
- Each facilitator carries a comprehensive first aid kit at all times while on trip.
What kind of training do your facilitators have?
All Me to We facilitators have participated in Me to We's extensive facilitator training program. Facilitators are first aid qualified, trained in emergency evacuation protocols, standard operating procedures and crisis prevention/management.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to albuterol: compounding powder, inhalation aerosol, inhalation aerosol with adapter, inhalation capsule, inhalation solution, oral syrup, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
Albuterol is generally well-tolerated and adverse effects seen are consistent with its pharmacological activity. In general, the severity of these adverse effects is dependent on the dose and route of administration. Administration by metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is associated with less systemic effects than administration of higher dosages orally or by nebulizer. Tolerance may develop to the adverse effects of albuterol (the active ingredient contained in Proventil)
Changes in heart rate of approximately 20% may be produced by 0.18 mg of albuterol (the active ingredient contained in Proventil) by MDI. Aggravation of angina may be due to tachycardia produced by albuterol. Atrial fibrillation was reported in one patient when a spacer device was utilized with an albuterol inhaler, thus increasing the available dose for systemic absorption. Supraventricular ectopic beats and ventricular tachycardia have also been reported. Higher doses of albuterol should be used with caution in patients with cardiac disease, arrhythmias, or hypertension. All of these effects are dose-related and lower doses may be tolerated.
The cardiovascular side effects have included palpitations, peripheral vasodilatation and reflex tachycardia with blood pressure increasing or decreasing. Albuterol in higher dosages has been reported to aggravate angina, myocardial ischemia, or cause atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. Pulmonary edema has been reported in pregnant patients receiving intravenous albuterol. Postmarketing reports have included hypotension.
Musculoskeletal side effects have included tremors, particularly at higher dosages. Tolerance can develop to the tremorogenic effects. Severe muscle cramping may occur infrequently.
Following doses of 15 mg albuterol (the active ingredient contained in Proventil) via nebulizer, hyperkalemic patients on hemodialysis experienced a 0.9 mEq/L decrease in plasma potassium which was sustained for 6 hours. Albuterol may stimulate sodium-potassium ATPase, resulting in an intracellular shift of potassium.
Transient lactic acidosis has been reported after administration of inhaled albuterol for an asthma attack.
Metabolic side effects have included hypokalemia, and less commonly, hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis. Postmarketing reports have included metabolic acidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis has been reported due to overdose of albuterol.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included restlessness, anxiety, nervousness, irritability, and insomnia. Postmarketing reports have included tremor.
Psychiatric side effects have included psychoses presenting as auditory hallucinations and persecutory delusions. These effects are generally associated with higher dosages.
Concern over the development of tachyphylaxis to the bronchodilating effects of albuterol (the active ingredient contained in Proventil) has been expressed. Although conflicting data exist, complete tolerance has not been reported.
Respiratory side effects have included paradoxical bronchospasm.

From WoWWiki: "Avoidance refers to a player's ability to completely nullify certain attacks. For melee, dodge, parry, and miss are all different ways to avoid the attack."
I think you basically answered your own question.
After the 3,2 changes. How much def rating, do you need for 1% avoidance. Pre dimenishing returns!
For dodge and parry you need 45,2.
For 4,918 Def Rating you recieved: 0,04% dodge, miss, parry -> 41 Rating= 1% avoidance.
When i look at the 3.2 patchnotes, the didn't mention Def at all.
What do we get know for 4,918 Def rating?
Thanks for your answer.
From WoWWiki: "Avoidance refers to a player's ability to completely nullify certain attacks. For melee, dodge, parry, and miss are all different ways to avoid the attack."
I think you basically answered your own question.
As far as I know, it didn't change, arctus.
Nope, no defense change.
Bear in mind also, the ratings you listed are base values, the actual return from rating will be less after diminishing returns, and will be different for different ratings.
Otherwise, as you said,
Dodge and Parrying ratings: 45.25 rating = 1% dodge/parry
Defense rating = 41.5 rating = 1% miss+dodge+parry
The (Old) Book on Death Knight Tanking
The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
This is a little off topic but still relates to def rating...I read somewhere that you need to aim at having something like 689 def rating. Not sure where I read it though. Wouldn't this be the def cap??
That's not the defense cap. That's the minimum defense required to avoid receiving critical hits.
Learn to science and stop theorycrapping in its tracks.
Defense Rating and Defense are not the same thing.
689 Defense rating (what's on your armor and most of your items) is what brings you up to 540 Defense (the level where you become uncrittable by boss mobs in 10 and 25 man raids)
535 Defense is uncrittable for heroics.
The only thing I know of that gives straight DEFENSE (not rating) is the DK Runeforging Stoneskin Gargoyle that gives 25 Defense straight out.
Also, don't call 540 defense the cap, it's actually the base. Once you hit around 30k HP unbuffed and have your hit @ 8% and your expertise @ 6.5%, you can stack avoidance or more defense (although I've seen arguments that stacking straight defense works better than stacking dodge or parry after diminishing returns, but haven't seen that post 3.2)
as far as i understand you right. Defense is the best avoidance stat in game.
With my Current stats: 710 def 550 dodge 300 Parry.
So defense will give me the most avoidance after diminishing returns. If i add the Blockrating it really starts to shine. Or am i wrong (i m not so good im diminishing return calculation).
And i just cant understand Blizzard. Why do they change every avoidance stat, but forget defense?
@ Goros: With the 3.2 changes, i dont see any need for full hitcap and dodge cap.
I'm not sure I follow the lack of need for hitcap & dodgecap. As a tank, a guarantee of hits = a guarantee of threat. It might be a minor thing, but your job as a tank is to use everything in your arsenal to be most effective in holding aggro and reducing damage to yourself.
I notice a huge difference in TPS and DPS from being at 6.5% and 8% vs being just under. I'll take what I can get, but to each his own.

Kuwaiti women get involved in politics
Even though they can neither sit as judges, nor give their nationality to their children, Kuwaiti women are able to work and are considered the most emancipated in the Gulf. Since they now have the right to vote, politics is becoming of increasing interest to them. Whether gathering to protest against the government, participating in political discussions or being a member of parliament, many are trying to get their voices heard.

There is a lower footprint version of powerauras called WeakAuras.
http://maintankadin.failsafedesign.c...hp?f=9&t=30128 there is a discussion thread on maintankadin

Weakauras original intent was just that, however it has evolved into something more. I gave it a try, and it is now pretty large.
I like using https://github.com/ildyria/iFilger
for tracking procs, CDs, and Debuffs. it's extremely lightweight.
After reading the thread in Maintankadin, i may have made a snap judgement and need to take a look at WA again. My initial dislike for the config menu had a lot to do with not getting to into it. That and the shock at how big the options are, as in sheer amount and cpu/mem usage.
iFilger looks to be interesting as well, especially for this type of application. Also checking out sFilger and looking at rFilter3 again.
My patience at sorting through the lua will determine how far i go with them. :D

Need to move the DXE thing somewhere don't know how that ended up there, and hide that one action bar on the right during combat.
Icons for certain CDs show on the left such as potions SW/LS/SB and trinkets. When used they turn red and a timer shows up next to it. The red bull shows up when I have 60+ rage and a red half circle appears around it when heroic strike/cleave is off cd.

What addon do you guys use to hide the stupid raid manager tab? MoveAnything does it for me, but it sometimes opens up randomly during combat, which annoys me to no end. Xperl used to do it as well, but it's new update made that nice feature go away.

Role check isn't extremely important for guild raids. Ready checks can be done with a macro, etc. etc.
It clutters up my screen and I don't need that information.
