Blood pressure is a measure of how hard the blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body. It's normal for blood pressure to go up and down throughout the day, but if it stays up, you have high blood pressure.
Blood pressure is recorded as two measurements:
Blood pressures are measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Systolic pressure, the higher of the two readings, is measured first. Diastolic pressure is the lower reading. For example, if your systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and your diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, your blood pressure is recorded as 120/80, or "120 over 80."
Many people who have high blood pressure don't know it, because it usually has no symptoms.
High blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems. But if you don't measure your blood pressure, you won't know when it's high, because there are usually no symptoms.
High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, so measuring your blood pressure may be your only way to know that it is high.
When you take your own blood pressure, you can do it at different times and in different places, such as at home, at work, and when you travel. You can partner with your doctor to:
Some people have a big rise in blood pressure only when they are in a doctor's office. This is called "white-coat hypertension." It might be caused by worry about the doctor visit. By checking blood pressure at home, these people can often find out whether their blood pressure readings generally are lower when they are not in the doctor's office.
If I take my blood pressure at home, I can help my doctor find out if I have high blood pressure. And I can keep track of how well lifestyle changes and medicine are working to lower my blood pressure.

There are two types of blood pressure monitors:
When you first get a blood pressure device, check its accuracy. Do this by comparing its readings with those you get at the doctor's office. Ask your doctor or nurse to watch you use your device to make sure that you are doing it right and that it works right. It's a good idea to have your device checked every year at the doctor's office.
The size of the blood pressure cuff and where you place it can greatly affect how accurate your device is. If the cuff is too small or too large, the results won't be right. You may have to measure your arm and choose a monitor that comes in the right size.
A monitor that measures blood pressure in your arm is recommended for most people. Blood pressure monitors used on the wrist aren't as reliable as those that use arm cuffs. Wrist monitors should be used only by people who can't use arm cuffs for physical reasons. And devices that use finger monitors aren't recommended at all.2
Check your blood pressure cuff often. Make sure all of the parts of your monitor are in good condition. Even a small hole or crack in the tubing can lead to inaccurate results.
Before you take your blood pressure:
Remember that blood pressure readings vary throughout the day. They usually are highest in the morning after you wake up and move around. They decrease throughout the day and are lowest in the evening.
When you first start taking your blood pressure at home, always take your blood pressure 3 times. Wait 1 to 2 minutes between recordings to let the blood flow back into your arm. After you get better at doing it, you probably will need to do it only once or twice each time.
If you're not familiar with using a stethoscope, you may want to get help from someone who is. The accuracy of a blood pressure recording depends on putting the stethoscope in just the right place.
Keep a blood pressure diary. Your records may help explain changes in your blood pressure readings and help your doctor make sure you get the right treatment.
Everyone's blood pressure changes from day to day and even from minute to minute sometimes. Blood pressure tends to be higher in the morning and lower at night. Stress, smoking, eating, exercise, cold, pain, noise, medicines, and even talking can affect it.
Record your blood pressure numbers with the date and time. You might use a home blood pressure log (What is a PDF document?) or a spreadsheet on your computer. Your monitor might have a feature that will record your numbers for you. Some monitors can transfer this information to your computer.
Also record your daily activities, such as the time you take medicine or if you feel upset or feel stressed.
The size and position of the blood pressure cuff can affect the reading. I should check my blood pressure while I am seated in a comfortable position.
The size and position of the blood pressure cuff can affect the blood pressure reading. It is important that the cuff fits right and is placed on the widest part of the upper arm. Check your blood pressure while you are seated in a comfortable position.

Ural Yamal Limited Edition is a two-wheel-drive motorcycle with an oar
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Dec 2nd, 2012 at 4:58PM
As far as we're aware, there isn't another motorcycle in the world – especially one with a sidecar and two-wheel drive – that comes straight from the factory with a wooden oar. As in, for paddling. Which is why the flat-orange-painted Ural Yamal Limited Edition is so great. As printed on the handy-dandy oar: In case of emergency: If you are reading this then you have wandered out too far, and the ice didn't hold – we're very sorry.

I don't know much about Mayweather, but we all should remember how Tupac died on the Vegas strip over some alleged nonsense. It's hurtful to see us fight and brawl over petty matters in public with egos on top, and especially over a woman.
Tiny had no business sending out pics of her with the boxer if she's still married to T.I. Lady, you have a husband and I'm sorry if you ain't getting the attention you want from him right now. Clearly you all must be having problems. Even if you know the boxer personally as a friend, you were in the wrong with the pic. For now, you need to get your goods from your husband,honey child. People these days are so instagram-hungry. Mayweather doesn't want nobody's wife. Let us not forget that misunderstandings can end up in tragedy if you are not careful.

Oracle Customer: Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş.
Location: Istanbul, Turkey
Industry: Communications
Employees: 3,583
Annual Revenue: Over $5 Billion
Oracle Customer: Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş.
Location: Istanbul, Turkey
Industry: Communications
Employees: 3,583
Annual Revenue: Over $5 Billion
Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş. is a leading provider of mobile communications in Turkey with more than 34 million subscribers. Established in 1994, Turkcell created the first global system for a mobile communications (GSM) network in Turkey. It was the first Turkish company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Communications fraud, or the use of telecommunications products or services without intention to pay, is a major issue for the organization. The practice is fostered by prepaid card usage, which is growing rapidly. Anonymous network-branded prepaid cards are a tempting vehicle for money launderers, particularly since these cards can be used as cash vehicles—for example, to withdraw cash at ATMs. It is estimated that prepaid card fraud represents an average loss of US$5 per US$10,000 in transactions. For a communications company with billions of transactions, this could result in millions of dollars lost through fraud every year.
Consequently, Turkcell wanted to combat communications fraud and money laundering by introducing advanced analytical solutions to monitor key parameters of prepaid card usage and issue alerts or block fraudulent activity. This type of fraud prevention would require extremely fast analysis of the company's one petabyte of uncompressed customer data to identify patterns and relationships, build predictive models, and apply those models to even larger data volumes to make accurate fraud predictions.
To achieve this, Turkcell decided to build predictive antifraud models inside the Oracle Database, on their Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 HC Full Rack and deploy them into Oracle Exadata for scoring, using Oracle Data Mining, a component of Oracle Advanced Analytics, leveraging Oracle Database11g technology. This enabled the company to create predictive antifraud models faster than with any other machine, as models can be built using search and query language (SQL) inside the database, and Oracle Exadata can access raw data without summarized tables, thereby achieving extremely fast analyses.
"Turkcell manages 100 terabytes of compressed data—or one petabyte of uncompressed raw data—on Oracle Exadata. With Oracle Data Mining, a component of the Oracle Advanced Analytics Option, we can analyze large volumes of customer data and call-data records easier and faster than with any other tool and rapidly detect and combat fraudulent phone use." – Hasan Tonguç Yılmaz, Manager, Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri A.Ş.
"We selected Oracle because in-database mining to support antifraud efforts will be a major focus for Turkcell in the future. With Oracle Exadata Database Machine and the analytics capabilities of Oracle Advanced Analytics, we can complete antifraud analysis for large amounts of call-data records in just a few hours. Further, we can scale the solution as needed to support rapid communications data growth," said Hasan Tonguç Yılmaz, Manager, Turkcell Teknoloji Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş.
Oracle Partner
Turkcell Teknoloji Araştırma ve Geliştirme A.Ş.
All development and test processes were performed by Turkcell Teknoloji. The company also made significant contributions to the configuration of numerous technical analyses which are carried out regularly by Turkcell İletişim Hizmetleri's antifraud specialists.

If you are looking at this for an engagement ring I highly recommend it! Look, there are so many women sporting the same clear (glass looking) diamonds and CZ. Be bold, different and really catch the attention with this black stone! I knew I wanted something different but I had girlfriends who questioned the black and I explained it like this. This ring being black represents no end - infinity and depth. When you look into a real "normal" overly expensive diamond you can see the ring underneath. Those rings are shallow, common, and plain. My soul mate and love has none of those characteristics. This ring perfectly describes the depth, intensity, uniqueness, and vintage respect we have for each other. I could never be happier! This ring is remarkable!!
This is a true eye catcher. It has received numerous wonderful compliments however, my daughter got this as an engagement ring and cannot wear it due to the prongs not being cut correctly and holding the stone in place. It has been hard to find anyone willing to correct the problem and add additional prongs to the stone with the setting being so unique and we are worried that she has a lovely ring that will be in the box forever. Don't expect that you are getting more than you are paying for appraised value is around $$$ as the center stone is very poorly cut with dimensions that are far less than perfect. All in all though this ring is BEAUTIFUL and perfect for those not wanting to go the traditional route. DON'T RUSH TO BUY...SHE GOT HERS IN JULY (purchased in June I think) AND THEY STILL HAVE THEM!!
Ring was perfect!! I was looking for a not so average engagement ring and that's exactly what I got! The black diamonds sparkle and the detail to the ring is far better in person than what can be seen by these pictures.
My bride to be loved this ring and so do I. The diamond and the accents are exactly as shown in the pictures. For the price you will not be disappointed. I wanted a white diamond for the center stone but did not find one with the same accents. I proposed to her under a full moon with the stars shinning bright. Now she and I will remember that beautiful night forever with the help of this ring.
My girlfriend loved this ring. It is very beautiful and is very unique and not the run of the mill ring.
Loved the quality of the ring that I ordered. I got wonderful treatment from customer service when I had to return it and reorder in a smaller size.
I have been looking at rings for a while now and I saw this ring and fell in love with it instantly. I showed it to my husband and told him that is the ring I want to replace my original wedding set. Well I got it last night and WOW!!!!! It is absolutely stunning. I am extremely pleased with it. I think that I made the perfect choice. I would highly recommend Overstock and there rings. Although probably not this ring as I wouldn't anyone else to have the same ring as me. The pictures do not do the ring justice. My husband order a 4.5 and it fits perfect.
I found it interesting that most reviews were about purchasing this ring as an engagement ring. I bought this ring for myself. Treat yo self! It's even more beautiful in person. I took it to a jeweler to get it re-sized, and she inspected it closely to make sure that it could withstand the heat needed to re-size without damaging the color of the stone. She couldn't believe what I paid for it, and they have pretty reasonable prices at this place. I highly recommend it!
This is an absolutely stunning ring, very unique and beautiful, and the delivery was much quicker than anticipated; thank you!
It is a very pretty ring, and luckily she loves it very much! However, upon receiving there is a small scratch along the face of the diamond. I understand that this diamond is an I3 quality, but there is nothing about an I3 that should have a scratch on the face of the diamond. That can only happen from a poor cutter or poor storage of the diamond after it was cut (it takes a diamond to scratch a diamond). I did purchase the 3 year protection plan, so I will check into seeing if they will cover a scratched diamond.

Chocoholic-Approved: 20 Decadent Cake Recipes
Everybody craves a slice of chocolate cake from time to time. Whether it's light milk chocolate mousse and layers of sponge cake that you covet, or dark chocolate cake filled with fudge, we've all been there. But don't worry, these 20 decadent cake recipes are sure to satisfy.
Still craving chocolate? Try some chewy chocolate cookies or rich hot chocolate.
Chocolate Layer Cake
Nothing says "celebration" like frosted chocolate layers. To contemporize this classic, we ramped up the richness: the batter's butter content is now higher, which makes the cake moister, and the frosting's flavor is more intensely chocolatey, thanks to a one-two combo of cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate.

Hybrid owners outraged by fee proposal
WTOP's Hank Silverberg reports from Richmond, Va.
RICHMOND, Va. - Hybrid and electric car owners circled the Virginia Capitol to protest a $100 yearly fee that would be placed on their vehicles if Gov. Bob McDonnell's transportation plan passes.
On Thursday, a Senate committee reviewed the $3.1 billion transportation package that would eliminate the state's gas tax and impose the $100 fee.
McDonnell called the fee on alternative fuel vehicles a substitute for losses in the federal gas tax when he appeared on WTOP's "Ask the Governor" show this week.
"It's meant to compensate for the federal gas tax that those vehicles do not pay," he said.
Beth Kemler attended the protest to voice her opposition.
"We should be rewarding people for trying to do their part to stop the climate crisis and to lower pollution," she says. "We shouldn't be punishing them with taxes."
Another protestor, Laurel Snowd, says she bought her vehicle to protect the environment.
"I really feel like we should be supporting people who want to do that and not penalizing them, and trying to get more people to buy hybrid cars," she says.

H HoR. Tanking in the hallway while the others hug the door.
Warlock: wtf we not hiding? You're so going to wipe us
Me: I won't. Just hug the door and don't aoe till the marked mob dies and no one will be harmed.
<starts event>
<door closes...with all but the healer BEHIND it>
Warlock: Yeah, GREAT strategy, mr tank, you killed us all
... Yeah, and people wonder why we get rough.

Dude,who is stupid enough to not be able to tell the side of a door?
It got better when we reached arthas and he said "let's glitch it"
I said "no"
Warlock: wtf we can't do this without the glitch
Me: We can. The practical gains of that method are so small I won't cheat for that.
Warlock: Dude, our dps sucks, we can't do it the right way
Healer: We can.
<starts event and runs halfway to the first wall>
Warlock:wtf i thought we were glitching it
Proceeded his extensive swearing for the next three waves, and when we won, and got the speed unkill(averaging 8k dps spread over 3 dps and me), healer said "I told you so". I said "I told you so", and the warlock said "you fucking fail, moron"
Thankfully all of my alts have tanking roles/sets of some sort so when I still played I can't say I ran into this issue much.

Tanking didn't make me mean, I've always hated everyone equally
The most stressful, yet provides the most gratification..
Tanking <3
Anyone who works with the government, keeps up with polotics, or pays taxes on a regular basis cannot possibly get any more jaded, angry, or dissillusioned with the world than they already are.
Sadly i'm all three of those, so tanking for bads is a drop in the bucket. (wtb a private sector job)

I've never created a macro to state that I'm gonna pull fast or otherwise, and this is the first I've heard of one being used. I generally just type it out if the group looks good, and make sure everyone says "sure" before I move forward with it.
Remember, there was a thread that existed shortly ago about slow/fast pulling? It all hinges on the ability of your group. if you're pulling so fast that dps can't burn it down in a timely manner, you're going to fast, if you're pulling so fast, your healer can't keep you up, you're going to fast. if you're pulling so fast, you can't hold aggro on everything, you're pulling too fast. So modifying it based on the group and comfortability of players especially in LFG random groups where some people are fresh 80s with greens/blues, you may want to temper your ability to LOLROFLSTOMP an instance by bum rushing through it and causing a wipe.
1 wipe is all it takes to make the "lol speed run" become slower than a regular paced run.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I always start off trying to be kind, and alter my attitude accordingly, I say the kill order ect and proceed to set pace.
Then as the dumbass players start making their comments/mistakes I might get a little....stressed
For instance today I zoned into nexus, had no fear break for the commander so pulled him into the far corner, warning thr group, the ret pala and elemental shaman both start DPS immediately and I use pretty much every cooldown to get them back to me in the corner, the paladin then types in caps whilst walking backwars 'AGGROO' so I explain to him what happened, to which he expresses 'lol maybe you should pull faster then' (he also afked the first trash groups) he was doing 1.5k dps in tier 9, its these kind of comments+situations that really turn me from nice into a raging stress machine, and they are so common unfortunately.
The majority are usually nice and follow the marks, and we get a good quick easy run, but the bad experiences really bring out the worst :\
I tried to teach a recruit warlock to tank tonight (10man blood prince).
That made me mean.
As of lately I'm entering the tool as fury specced. It took me 4 or 5 days to fight the urge to don my shield and bash stuff(foremostly the respective "tanks"). It can be a lesson in patience.
I once had this tool who tanked in mostly(overgeared) ret stuff in one of the Utgardes. Typical chain puller. He pulled three groups of mobs which proceeded to surround him. Now I don't know if you knew before but mobs(a lot of them) in your back are killers. I had to group fear them in order to save his bacon.
Still, you can't argue with a tank doing 6k DPS.
Why has every tank a different line thru the penultimate HoL room? I always take the "my groupies might be morons" route ascending over the left hand ridge with a short bivouak in the central plateau. Other tanks take their groups straight into the death zone where one party member plummeting to his death will spell doom for the entire expedition. Many bold attempts to the pinnacle have been thwarted by follies like these.

killed in the Battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265.
I usually take the right, preferably taking both packs of dwarves on the side to skip the patrol (also helps you see which ranged DPS has situational awareness), then the dwarves/giant pack, then patrol, then last 2 contructs. Move down and pull pat when needed, then only 1 giant and off to boss.
I might not be familiar with all the 45643 ways of going through this room, but as DPS or healer I'll be damn smart enough to stay close to the tank

On the home front, I have been extremely busy, which is making me feel a little uncomfortable because I am doing exactly the opposite of what I believe Christmas to be. I am getting lost in the hustle of the season as opposed to the JOY of the season. I am looking forward to fulfilling my commitments so I can sit back and get back to my normal calm self.
Don't get me wrong, I am also very grateful for the opportunities that I have been given and the reasons of my hectic schedule right now. I will share with you next week! :)

text: 5 The greatest book to film adaptation ever!!!!!!!!!!plumbernator | 19/07/2007 | See all plumbernator's reviews (66)The Lord Of The Rings are 3 of the most exciting and magical books to ever be written. Now they are 3 of the most exciting and magical films ever.With spectacular performances from a steller cast including Ian McKellen, Sean Bean, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Viggo Mortensen. But the real greats that make this film the masterpiece it is are Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. The make a perfect partnership and the disintigration of the firendship throughout the second and third films are truely harrowing.The special-effects are hands down the best ever. The third film especielly produces some breath-taking momemts.The films are good for there large and heart-felt adaptation to the original text. Its clear the Jackson cares more about what he thinks than what his audience thinks spending about 5hrs in the 9hr running time createing interesting and progressive character development, great for most, but the small amount that seem to think Popcorn flicks are the way forward may be dissapointed.But the rest should be up-lifed. Jackson creates and entire new world using top-of-the-range SFX and the great sweeping landscapes of New Zealand. This is a must to your collection as a perfect example of mainstream Hollywood actually for once producing real brilliance!!!!

Thoughts On The Cleric
With Castles & Crusades, I've become enamored of the Friar (described here and here--thanks Rusty Battleaxe!), which seems to fall more in line with my idea of what I'd like from a cleric. I'm going to allow both Friar (slightly rewritten) and Cleric in my upcoming campaign, and see how that goes. But I like the aspects of defender of the faith, chronicler, loremaster in a dark age, etc., more than the healing. Part of me would almost like to see that ability in the hands of an arcane class, an herbalist, or limit it for the Cleric. I guess in the end, it doesn't match my thoughts for clergy in the pseudo-medieval part of my imagination. I think of Friar Tuck, Brother Cadfael, or Saint Patrick before I think of your standard Priest of Tyr.
We'll see. Ultimately, it's something I'm still chewing on, and probably will be for a while. It's not that I think the Cleric as written doesn't have a place in the game--it's just I don't want it to be the only option for clergy.
For those of you who do something a bit different, how do you address clergy (and the cleric class) in your games?

I used to have a 'priest' class in my game (www.ageoffable.net). But I got rid of it, because I realised that it was only in there because D&D had a cleric class. It's quite hard to look at fantasy directly, without going via D&D!

I have found priests only work once you move beyond the generic idea of gods you get in a lot of fantasy stuff - if the gods are actual characters who can be interacted with or the church is a robust political institution, then clerics get a lot more interesting, but when it's just a generic handful of basically interchangeable gods it falls flat. The money question for me really seems to be whether you'd pick the god for any reason than the mechanical benefit it provides (or, in the absence of godly mechanics, which sounds coolest).
This has really stood out in 4e, since the Paladin and Invoker both do a better job of capturing the fantasy-generic holy man than the Cleric does, making the class all the more thematically dodgy (exacerbated by the fact that the cleric really seems to be the vanilla of Leaders).
It's an unholy breakdown of failure and mechanics. When clerics had mechanical distinction (being the only healers) then that could translate into a setting role - priests in dragonlance being a good example of this. When a setting gives them a niche, then they also tend to stand out. But when they have neither mechanical distinction nor setting vibrancy? Blah-tastic.

PS - This is, curiously, an area where I think older games do better than new ones. Religion, lie history, becomes bland when polished to a smooth finish. Nonsensical, contradictory pantheons feel much more robust than coherent, symmetrical ones, at least to me. This is why I've always felt like clerics were interesting in Greyhawk, but kind of dull in the Forgotten Realms, for example.

I agree. I also like more nonsense and contradiction in my campaign's history and politics.

I like the idea of clerics, it's paladins I find redundant.
Anyway I think that AD&D2e had it right with spells and weapons limited by the choice of deity.
In AD&D/OD&D/C&C clerics are just too strong for my tastes

In my game religion is very important however clerics are not. A lot of the adventures go on have at least a toe in some religious conflict of my Majestic Wilderlands.
Clerics are not as popular among my players because I emphasize the importance of faith which means that clerics wind up be being more agents of their religion than the typical happy go lucky adventurer.
There are advantages in that the player has access to the resource his religion's hierarchy. Clerics in my game have extra powers like a Shield of Faith against spells.
I only have 12 deities in my pantheon. However they are known by different names in different cultures. They all teach some type of universal philosophy. I.e. a complete system by which a culture or person can live their life by.
They all teach different ideas. For example Thor/Mantriv is about self-reliance, improving oneself, showing bravery. The various religions that grew around him invariably have their adherents seeking out monsters and killing them. Although one may emphasize the self-improvement while another the bravery aspect.
Another quirk of my system of religion is that I have no truly evil gods. That role is taken up by the demons. I do have gods that have very unpleasant philosphies. Set (Order to the point of Tyranny), Kalis (Obsessed with Revenge), and Hamakhis (Death and human sacrifice).
Still another quirk is that some of the gods have a chosen people. An entire culture that worships that single god.

I've had a problem reconciling Clerics myself. I look at them as healers, which means peaceful healer, right? So why does this guy get to wear armor and use a mace when a Magic-User fizzles his spells in anything heavier than a +1 Speedo?
I guess it comes down to magical systemization. Two sources of magic seem weird to me, especially since they're so restrictive. Clerics, who get their powers from a god, generally have sucky damage-dealing spells. But Magic-Users, who can create their own spells and approach magic scientifically, cannot heal damage. That seems to be the split.
But Clerics do have damage-dealing spells. Not many, but they do. So why is it that a Magic-User can't create a spell to knit wounds together, replace blood loss, set and fuse bones, revive the unconscious, reduce pain and fatigue, remove scars, purge poisons and diseases, cure insanity - there's no good in-game reason! Except that any DM knows to keep the two apart or else the Cleric is a clear winner. Free spells and no spellbook? Wear armor? Bonus Wisdom spells per day? Double the HP? Half the XP required? Turn Undead? Sign me up!
But Clerics don't make up new spells, right? That's the only downside. So why not just take away Cleric spells in general? Keep his XP chart, his equipment use, prime requisite, Turning, and HP. Just remove the spells. Then give him a certain amount of healing per day, consecration / burial / wedding / etc. ritual duties that don't do much mechanically, and let him cure disease and poison once a day per five levels.
Oops we just created a Paladin.
I agree with you on that one.
But then why can a Magic-User not use healing spells? My argument is that creation and repair is always harder than destruction and entropy. Like the difference between making a ceramic jar or smashing it. Or making someone like you vs. hate you. I'd love some counter examples, I haven't found many.
So give the Cleric generous daily healing capacity based on level, and let Magic-Users scour and scrape to learn spells that heal way less. Say, a Cure Light is a 3rd level M-U spell. Cure Serious is 5th. Cure Critical is 7th. Heal is 9th. This would also set the maximum efficacy of Limited Wish and Wish for healing.

FWIW I did a 5-part series on the evolution of "The Cleric" in all the editions of D&D over at The Core Mechanic last year.
The New Cleric if the Old Cleric
links to the other parts are in the preamble.
Personally, I've always prefered the lightly armored, speak softly but carry a big stick pugilist style cleric.

I like the approach used in Avalon Hill's Magic Realm.
In that game, they have 5 colors of magic (white, grey, gold, purple and black) and the pilgrim (cleric) and white knight (paladin) have access to white magic. Most of the 10 spellcasters are limited to one (or very few) colors of magic. The only spellcaster that had access to almost all colors is the Magician, and he is weak, magically, until he expands his spell repertoire.
As for paladins and clerics I've never liked the paladin class, because it seemed redundant and was a contributor to the whole stat inflation phenomenon.

The trouble I've had with clerics is their gods are usually aspected, but the powers of a cleric are not. Vancian magic doesn't work for me in this case. So I try to develop aspected cleric classes that reflect their god.
I'm currently playtesting a C&C adventure and the major villian is a cleric of an undead god. So his spells/powers are geared toward there undead. You will not find a healing spell in his list.
Hope you don't mind if I add a link Zack, please wipe it out if you do: http://gothridgemanor.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-class-of-cleric.html

I have a similar view of Clerics and wrote this little bit about it a month ago.
Feel free to read it as well :)
Yes Friar's are more useful, but even then I think spellcasting is too much for them, maybe scrollcasting yes.
- October 1, 2009 at 12:26 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@Aslan: I liked the suggestion of trashing the spells almost entirely, and just giving them a lay-on hands ability. I might leave some 0-levels on there. Thanks for the link—I will check it out!

I pretty much agree with all of the above. In 0e, it is clear that clerics stand on a continuum between fighting man and magic user. Less potent spells but clearly capable in combat. In AD&D, the presence of the paladin and, to a lesser extent, the ranger, upsets that relationship. Clerics are the only class of the original three to be dependent upon their setting--the identification with a god or religious system. I quit identifying clerics as priests and moved back to what I think the original intent was, a militant order (Templars, as it were, instead of the village priest). I did the same with paladins and am doing so with friars--all fighting versions of benedictines, dominicans, and jesuits. I have thought about just dropping the paladin as it is the steroid version of the original intent of the cleric.
Some of the cleric/paladin overlap is less of an issue in C&C as C&C version of the paladin has healing ability and can turn undead but cannot cast cleric spells (rangers and bards have no spell-casting ability either, an interesting difference compared to AD&D and OSRIC).

Basic Python Elements
This article is an introduction to the most basic Python operations. This information can be found in much greater detail in the Python documentation available at http://python.org/
For an overview and installation instructions of PySymbian, see FNWiki Python.
Python is a programming language similar to C++, yet it is more automated. The user has to do less in order to achieve the same result (that is, the type of a variable does not have to be declared but Python analyses it and stores it accordingly). Python consists of two parts: the PC editor and compiler, used to write and test the code, and the on-phone interpreter, which reads and executes the code. The Python editor (IDLE or command line) can be used for testing applications in real time. However, some users prefer entering code in a traditional text editor, such as Notepad.
The following snippets can be entered in interactive mode. In this mode, the interpreter prompts for the next command with the primary prompt, usually three greater-than signs ">>> ". For continuation lines it prompts with the secondary prompt, "... ". If the instruction is not complete, the interpreter displays the secondary prompt.
Variables are "containers" used to store values. For example:
stores the value 2 in variable x.
The following types of variables are available in Python:
-integer - a number
-long - an extended version of integer
-float - a number with decimals
-boolean - a logical variable (can be TRUE or FALSE)
-character - a text character (like '1' or 'f')
-string - a sequence of 1 or more characters (like 'Nokia' or '2')
There are other kinds of variables called arrays of elements (strings and lists). An array is a collection of items, such as:
list=[1,2,3,4] #a list of numbers
list=['a','b'] # a list of characters
An array is characterised by its length (the number of elements). For example, the length of [1,2,3,6,1,'d'] is 6. Note that an array is evaluated from position 0 (element 1, in this case) to its length-1 (element d).
>>> a=[1,2,3]
>>> a[2]
>>> s="alabala"
>>> s[3]
To check whether a short and well-known element is in an array:
element in array #returns true if the element is in that array, and false if not.
>>> x=2
>>> if (x in [1,5,2,7,2,4]):
... print 'yes'
... else:
... print 'no'
After entering the ":" symbol, press the 0 key 3 times (for entering the return key). The secondary prompt is displayed because the "if" statement is not completed. Enter now 4 spaces before entering the next line. Repeat these steps until the statement is fully completed.
A dictionary is a built-in data structure represented by a pair of elements (key and value) that allows you to access items according to their keys rather than their position in the dictionary.
>>> d = {"saturday":"theatre", "sunday":"lunch"}
>>> print d["sunday"]
Variables can be local or global. Local variables are the ones defined inside a function and whose scope goes not go beyond that function. Global variables, on the other hand, are known during the entire execution of the code. A local variable x can be made global using the statement "global x".
Program syntax and other general information
The input is what the user tells the program.
x=2, x=raw_input() are ways to give x a value.
Output is what the program shows the user.
print x outputs the value of x.
You can also use print "%letter" % (value). The letters and associated types are:
f - float
d - integer
s - string
>>> print "%d" % (5)
>>> print "%s" % ('S60')
>>> x=2.14
>>> print "%f" % (x)
"#" in the program code starts a comment (a line that is not interpreted by Python. The programmer can use it to describe certain operations).
Operators and operations
Operators are used to compare variables. < (smaller), > (greater), <= (smaller or equal), == (equal), >= (greater or equal), != (different)
#return true
#return false
"and", "or", "not" - used with boolean variables (true and true=true, true and false=false, t or t=t, t or f=t, not t=f, not f=t)
(x<y) and (y!=0) #returns true
not(x==2) #returns false
General operations
Like in any programming language, the programmers can manipulate the variables in almost any way they desire. Here is a list of operations, the types of variables they can be applied to, and examples:
- "+" -integer (2+5=7), long (500000000+1000000000=6000000000), float (2.34+1.2=3.54), character ('f'+'g'='fg') and string ('nokia'+' n95'='nokia n95')
- "-" -integer, long, float
- "*" -integer, long, float, or between an integer and a character or string (3*'hi'='hihihi')
- "/" -integer, long, float
- "%" -the modulus, meaning the number you get after dividing a number to another number, long, float (2.4%2=0.4)
Special operations
These operations apply to arrays.
-Changing an element
>>> x = [1, 1, 1]
>>> x[1] = 2
>>> x
[1, 2, 1]
-Deleting elements
>>> names = ['Alice', 'Beth', 'Cecil', 'Dee-Dee', 'Earl']
>>> del names[2]
>>> names
['Alice', 'Beth', 'Dee-Dee', 'Earl']
-Separating elements
>>> name = list('Perl')
>>> name
['P', 'e', 'r', 'l']
>>> lst = [1, 2, 3]
>>> lst.append(4)
>>> lst
[1, 2, 3, 4]
Conditionals and loops
In order to check if a condition is true or not, the 'if' structure is used. Based on the validity of the condition, instructions can be given.
if <condition1>:
elif <condition2>:
The condition1 is checked. If it is true, the instructions under it will be carried out. If condition1 is false, condition2 is checked. If it is true, the instructions under it will be carried out. If, on the other hand, neither condition1 or condition2 are true, the instructions under the 'else' part will be carried out. The 'elif' part can be omitted for simpler conditional structures.
>>> x=2
>>> if(x==2):
... print 'ok'
>>> if (x==56):
... print '56'
... else:
... print x
>>> a = 3
>>> b = 4
>>> if (a % 2 == 0):
... print 'even a'
... elif (b % 2 == 0):
... print 'even b'
... else:
... print 'something else'
even b
When an action needs to be repeated for a certain number of times or until a condition is met, use the 'while' or 'for' loop:
while <condition>:
If the condition is true, the loop is entered and the instructions will be performed until the condition becomes false. Example:
>>> i=1
>>> while (i<=4):
... print 'ok'
... i+=1
>>> for i in range(3):
... print "do"
Functions are used to perform a set of operations to modify a certain element or for many other purposes. An example of a function is the "pow" function:
>>> x=2
>>> y=3
>>> pow(x,y)
A function is declared as follows:
def functionname(parameters):
return result
Functions can also be used to convert a type of variable into another. The structure is variable2=function(variable1) These functions are: int(var) and long(var)->number, float(var)->number with decimals, str(var)->string, chr(var)->character. Example:
>>> x=2.34
>>> print int(x)
>>> str(x)
When used in functions, variables can be local (modifications do not apply to their value outside the function) or global (after the function is performed, the value will be modified). See the following example:
>>> x=2
>>> def inc(x):x+=1
>>> x
>>> inc(x)
>>> x
#notice that after calling the function inc, the value of x remains unchanged
Compare that with:
>>> x=2
>>> def inc():
... global x
... x+=1
>>> x
>>> inc()
>>> x
#here, if the value of x is modified in the function, this modification is kept for the rest of the program
Importing modules
Modules contain certain functions that are not loaded with Python by default, but instead need to be loaded by the user. There are two methods for importing modules or extensions:
>>> import math
>>> sin(3.14159)
>>> from math import sin
>>> sin(3.14159)
The difference is that the first method imports the entire "math" module, while the second only imports the needed function, "sin".
An important module for PySymbian is "appuifw". It contains the functions used to get certain types of input and output. Example:
import appuifw
appuifw.note(u"This is an example")
# will give you a message containing the text "This is an example"
Other important modules are "graphics" and "e32".
Developing applications
Python is one of the easiest languages for developing applications for mobile phones and other platforms. Let's say we want to make an application that asks you to pick a name from a list and displays the code associated with it. Here is a step-by-step guide to a method:
1.Create a new a Notepad document.
2.Write the code of the application.
#import the necessary modules
import appuifw
import e32
#give the program a title
#display the list of names so that the user can pick one. The order is important
pickedname=appuifw.popup_menu([u"Martha", u"Gregory"])
#associate a code to each of them
#display the corresponding code, given by the number of the picked name from the list
if(pickedname==0):appuifw.popup_menu([u"%d" % (codes[0])])
if(pickedname==1):appuifw.popup_menu([u"%d" % (codes[1])])
3.Save the file as filename.py. The extension is important.
4.Transfer file to your phone. Store it in the "Python" folder.
5.Test it. Open Python, select Option->Run script->filename.py.

The group's zero-waste construction method relies on a digital design that is cut via a CNC machine into sheet material. These cuts are just simple lines that create no waste off of the sheet and allow it to be transformed into a 3D surface via folding, bending, and manipulating. Once expanded, the sheet is more structurally stable and rigid. Holes allow the sheets to be assembled together into larger structures that could be used for a variety of purposes. For instance in Cologne, the sheets were assembled into arches that were lined up together to create a pavilion. During the expo, the Expandable Surface Pavilion was used as a meeting room.
The groups goal was to develop a more seamless, sustainable and less wasteful building process. The designs are digital, which means they can be sent anywhere in the world via email to anyone with a CNC machine. Using locally sourced materials, the sheets can easily be cut, flat-packed and then efficiently transported to any site, where they are assembled using local labor. In the process, no waste at all is created and the building system wholly supports the local economy.
Martí, Zamorano, and Bek collaborated on this project through the Emergent Technologies & Design Research Programme at the Architectural Association in London. The group also created a self-supporting wall out of the materials after extensive structural and geometric digital analysis to understand and anticipate the reaction between the material and pattern.

|Star Trek XI
Uhura was a starfleet Cadet in 2255 when she encountered the young James T. Kirk in a bar near the Starfleet shipyards in Iowa. She resisted Kirk's amorous advances, leading to a bar fight when some other cadets came to her aid.1
Uhura was one of the Academy's top students, with an exceptional aural sensitivity and "an unparalleled ability to identify sonic anomalies in subspace transmission tests." She specialised in xenolinguistics, and was proficient in all three major Romulan dialects.1
Uhura was part of the crew who took the Kobayashi Maru test with Kirk for the third time, and was duly surprised when he defeated the "no win" scenario.1
In 2258 Uhura detected a distress call from Klingon space stating that 47 Klingon vessels had been destroyed by a single massive Romulan ship. When the Nero crisis arose shortly afterwards Kirk used this information to predict that the natural disaster apparently overtaking Vulcan was in fact a Romulan attack. Uhura was assigned to the USS Farragut by Commander Spock, but complained that her performance at the academy merited her assignment to the USS Enterprise. Spock agreed and Uhura served on the ship throughout the crisis.1
On the Enterprise Captain Pike had Uhura relieve his communications officer due to her superior language skills. She remained in the post throughout the crisis, and became Captain Kirk's chief communications officer when he subsequently assumed command.1
Uhura was involved in a romantic relationship with Commander Spock during her time at the academy, which continued during their time aboard the Enterprise. Her roommate and friend was Gaila, an Orion Cadet.1
