Gertrude Bell: The Lady of Iraq
Review of the Civil Administration in Mesopotamia
The Gertrude Bell Project
When the British needed a senior political officer in Basra during World War I, they appointed a forty-six-year-old woman who, apart from a few months as a Red Cross volunteer in France, had never been employed. She was a wealthy Oxford-educated amateur with no academic training in international affairs and no experience of government, policy, or management. Yet from 1916 to 1926, Gertrude Bell won the affection of Arab statesmen and the admiration of her superiors, founded a national museum, developed a deep knowledge of personalities and politics in the Middle East, and helped to design the constitution, select the leadership, and draw the borders of a new state. This country, created in 1920 from the three Ottoman provinces of Baghdad, Basra, and Mosul, which were conquered and occupied by the British during World War I, was given the status of a British mandate and called Iraq.
When I served as a British official in southern Iraq in 2003, I often heard Iraqis compare my female colleagues to "Gertrude Bell." It was generally casual flattery and yet the example of Bell and her colleagues was unsettling. More than ten biographies have portrayed her as the ideal Arabist, political analyst, and administrator. Does she deserve this attention? Was she typical of her colleagues? What are the terms by which we can assess a policymaker eighty years after her death?
The British Mandate of Iraq had problems from its beginnings. A revolt in 1920 cost the British several hundred lives and an estimated £40 million and convinced them of the impossibility of direct colonial control. The monarchy, which they established under the Hashemite King Faisal—a foreigner and a Sunni with close links to the British—was unpopular with many Kurds, Shia, and nationalists. And even after Iraq joined the League of Nations in 1932, having developed some of the institutions of a modern state, it continued to be threatened by ethnic and sectarian divisions and religious and nationalist opposition. In 1958 the monarchy was brutally overthrown, in favor of military rule and then Baathist dictatorship.
Bell's letters, now all available on-line in an archive prepared by the Newcastle University library, suggest that Bell's strength lay not in her political success—she did not succeed in forming a sustainable, stable, unified Iraqi state—but in the clarity and imagination with which she explored failure. She wrote almost as soon as she arrived in Basra in 1916:
…We rushed into the business with our usual disregard for a comprehensive political scheme. We treated Mesop[otamia] as if it were an isolated unit, instead of which it is part of Arabia…. When people talk of our muddling through it throws me into a passion. Muddle through! why yes, so we do—wading through blood and tears that need never have been shed.
She places some blame on the pre-existing chaos, as did the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2003. In her "Review of the Civil Administration in Mesopotamia" in 1920, she notes that
if it took rather longer to open some of the Baghdad schools than expected, the delay may be attributed to the people themselves, who looted all the furniture and equipment of the schools and carried off the doors, windows and other portable fittings.
Eighty-five years later, when I was working in Amara, a city on the Tigris north of Basra, we had to replace the doors, windows, and furniture in 240 of the four hundred schools that had been looted in the province. Bell complains of the former Ottoman rulers as we did of the former Baathist leaders: the senior officials had all left, taking or destroying the most important administrative data. But she recognizes that much of this complexity and uncertainty is an inevitable element in any occupation.
By 1920, Bell had added to fluent Arabic and a decade of travels in the Middle East four uninterrupted years of experience in the British administration in Iraq. Yet she never pretends in her letters in that year to be able to predict, explain, or control events. She emphasizes the weaknesses of the previous Ottoman administration; the persistence of the tribal system; the divisions between urban and rural areas. She writes about the new state's vulnerability to troublemakers from Syria and to new forms of nationalism and radical Islam such as the vision of a Sharia religious government, promoted by Shia clerics in their 1920 revolt.
Bell shows how RAF aerial bombardments and the cultural insensitivity of British soldiers exacerbated hatred. She portrays Iraqis who loathe foreign occupation yet worry about the alternative. She knows that the occupation is unsustainable and ineffective but she cannot contemplate total withdrawal. She recognizes that British colonial control is unworkable and that there must be an Arab government, but she finds the sacrifices and uncertainties hard to stomach. The situation, she concludes, is "strange and bewildering."
All these themes are common paradoxes and compromises of foreign occupation, hauntingly familiar in Iraq today but rarely so crisply expressed. Instead, in 2003, we steeped ourselves in "lessons learned" and absorbed the abstract doctrines taught by Western governments for dealing with "post-conflict" situations: management, counterinsurgency, and economics. Our reports referred to "capacity-building," "hearts and minds," "civil society," "truth and reconciliation," "governance," and "micro-credit." Our mission statements postulated dizzying relationships between free markets and peace, terrorism and human rights, elections and growth. These opaque words obscured the gap between our aspirations and our power, concealed the necessity for compromises with lesser evils, conflated problems with solutions, and disguised our failure.
Bell's writing is both more lively and more honest. She is open in her use of paradox and irony, her expression of unpleasant truths. She acknowledges impotence and comedy, without denying her moral responsibility. She admits the uncertainty and difficulty of trying to make policy in such an environment. This is almost never dressed up in jargon or platitude. To take a few examples from her letters in 1920:
…There's no getting out of the conclusion that we have made an immense failure here. The system must have been far more at fault than anything that I or anyone else suspected. It will have to be fundamentally changed and what that may mean exactly I don't know.
No one knows exactly what they do want, least of all themselves, except that they don't want us.
[The politician] Saiyid Talib…is the ablest man in the country. He is also, it must be remembered, entirely unscrupulous, but his interests and ours are the same….
…We are largely suffering from circumstances over which we couldn't have had any control. The wild drive of discontented nationalism…and of discontented Islam…might have proved too much for us however far-seeing we had been; but that doesn't excuse us for having been blind.
[In talking to an Arab nationalist leader] I said complete independence was what we ultimately wished to give. "My lady" he answered—we were speaking Arabic—"complete independence is never given; it is always taken."
Such comments—which may seem simple to an outsider—are difficult to articulate within an active mission and under the orders of a strong bureaucracy. Bell's political reports avoid economic or legal or political theory and instead focus on identifying and describing the most powerful, effective, and representative Iraqi figure in specific districts, from the sheikhs on the Tigris to the ayatollahs in Najaf. Although Bell was prejudiced in favor of aristocratic tribal warriors, she was conscious that Arab notions of leadership did not correspond with her own. Thus Bell acknowledges Ibn Saud—the founder of Saudi Arabia—as the greatest leader in contemporary Arabia while conceding that
his deliberate movements, his slow sweet smile and the contemplative glance of his heavy-lidded eyes… do not accord with Western conception of a vigorous personality….
Her views had been refined by her travels as a lone European in remote areas, dining and sleeping in tents, during which she had observed sheikhs in their majlis, or "meeting-place," receiving beggars, petitioners, and sycophants, judging recalcitrant tribesmen, commanding in battle, and settling vendettas.
Nor was she constrained by the stifling hierarchies of a modern bureaucracy. Bell, who ranked as a major, corresponded regularly and directly with Winston Churchill in the cabinet; Arthur Hirschel, the senior official at the India Office; Victor Chairol, the foreign editor of the Times; and Aurel Stein at the British Museum; and she had known all of them for twenty years. Many of her colleagues, including T.E. Lawrence, who came from a much more modest background than Bell, had similar access. And because of paralyzing bureaucratic rivalry in London and the distraction of the First World War (compared to the western front, the Middle East was called "a side-show of a side-show"), she and her immediate colleagues were able to champion policies in Iraq with very little interference from their theoretical superiors in the Foreign Office, the India Office, the War Office, or the Colonial Office.
This policy discussion was far more wide-ranging than the narrow establishment consensus of 2003, in which an American-led coalition pursued a poorly defined liberal democracy and ignored alternative possibilities: partition, military rule, Sharia government, reunification, or radical nationalism. Instead, Bell and her contemporaries disagreed creatively and passionately about the shape of the new state. Ibn Saud challenged its national borders, stating that the very concept of Iraq made no sense to his nomadic subjects. Bell's colleagues, A.T. Wilson, T.E. Lawrence, and H. St. John Philby championed, respectively, with persistent and pungent conviction, a colony, an independent Arab empire, and a republic in Iraq, and resigned rather than accept a policy with which they disagreed.
Others toyed with the idea of reestablishing an Islamic caliphate; serious thought was given to an independent Assyrian Christian homeland. Bell suggested bringing in an Ottoman prince to rule Iraq and considered a proposal for an autonomous Shia region under Sharia law. They were not shy about expressing disagreement. Mark Sykes, the MP who negotiated the Sykes-Picot agreement with France to determine control of former Ottoman territory in the Middle East, described Bell as a "silly chattering windbag of conceited, gushing flat-chested, man-woman, globe-trotting, rump-wagging, blethering ass."
Bell's colleagues had many flaws. They were capable of unforgivable brutality. Colonel Gerard Leachman, one of Bell's most prominent colleagues in the civil administration in Iraq after World War I, advocated a strategy of punitive raids that disgusted T.E. Lawrence. Winston Churchill favored using gas to attack rebellious tribesmen and launched a policy of control through aerial bombardment. Bell's boss A.T. Wilson, who was civil commissioner in Baghdad from 1918 to 1920, may have been an impressive figure; he saved money on home leave by doing a double shift as a stoker, shoveling coal sixteen hours a day from Bombay to Marseilles and cycling the last nine hundred miles home. But he was also a sun-baked imperialist who lacked sympathy for Iraqis and the imagination to encompass their aspirations. The writings of Bell's second boss, Percy Cox, who replaced Wilson in 1920 as first high commissioner of the newly created mandate, could be unpleasantly racist.

Thank you Ben, I did go and read legislation here (http://www.premier.tas.gov.au/__data/as ... l_2013.pdf). It is not very complicated and seems to cover many areas where people and institutions may be sued because of all sorts of issues/abuse that come up when someone helps someone else kill themselves. I agree with @dagon regarding our advances in life extending sciences and legislature being at odds. Also I agree strongly with @Bhikkhu Pesala and @SarathW regarding the teachings. Here in the States we are going through a great upheaval regarding centralization of our health insurance and medical system. It was a mess before and now the whole house of cards has fallen and most of us will go into debt, left penniless paying our insurance and if we get sick we will have little say in the Doctors we want or the treatment we seek. Many folk of faith who are against any kind of killing are being forced to pay taxes for abortions and boards of insurance analysts will decide who gets end of life care or expensive surgery and care. Affordable Health Care act is impossible to read it is so convoluted and full of legalese. This makes your small document regarding Voluntary Assisted Dying look very simple and straightforward. The individual choice has been removed regarding our health care choices, I over reacted, I apologize. I am afraid what is happening to us over here in the States will happen to all of us across the globe including your Island. I believe groups of people should not decide what the individual needs are regarding how they live their life and the choices they make. Abuse, greed, ignorance always take over and the system is corrupted, people suffer, and a few will make great profits from our individual and social suffering.
Also there is a great deal of evidence regarding the introduction of suicide education in our Federalized schools, our children learned how suicide is done and why, suicide went up along with the education and introduction of antidepressant medication (which a side effect from this medication is an increased tendency to commit suicide and other kinds of violence, like school shootings). I fear this also will happen with this kind of legislation, those who may have not thought of suicide will now be given an option. Again I am sorry if I hurt feelings by flapping my jaws without thinking.

I'm not a fan of re-released figures, but I had been dreaming a Skeletor with boots for years.
well, I would prefer booties but I already have sketelor.
I also would prefer Kodac with whithe gloves
oops i voted in the wrong category. i thought i was voting for 3-toed boots like zodac. i'd love a variant like that - which i guess would just mean repainting his feet. i was surprised that after all the pains to re-create the classic look that they chose to make him barefoot. but i guess that was a nod to the 200X fans.
Nope. Not interested. The Skeletor that's been released is already perfect. I hope when they re-release him that he'll be the same for those that missed out.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
No, as others have stated, Keldor should have the boots. Then, if you want a booted Skeletor, just swap the heads!
Tweet Me!
I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
This version we already have is good enough for me. Skeletor is fantastic, even without booties.

Hardy and fast-growing, prospers under most conditions. Lance-shaped leaflets are a lustrous medium to dark green, turning yellow in fall. Crown is densely rounded or irregular, leaf stems are velvety. Grows to 50' to 60', 25' spread. (zones 2-9)
Click icons for more information.
Show All |
Hardiness Zones 2 - 9The Green Ash can be expected to grow in the zones shown in color in the arborday.org zone map. View Map
Type of treeShade Trees
Mature HeightThe Green Ash grows to be 50' - 60' feet in height.
Mature SpreadThe Green Ash has a spread of about 25' at full maturity.
Growth RateThis tree grows at a fast growth rate. More about this.
SunThis ash does well in full sun.
SoilThe Green Ash grows in acidic, alkaline, drought tolerant, loamy, moist, sandy, well drained, wet, wide range, clay soils.
ShapeThis ash has oval, upright or erect shape.
An excellent shade tree, the Green Ash is extremely popular, especially in the Great Plains, and in cities and high-use parks throughout eastern United States. This popularity is due to its fast growth, marvelous adaptability to a wide range of soils, and ability to withstand drought. Like White Ash, its close relative of baseball bat fame, Green Ash has wood that is tough, elastic, straight-grained and very strong. Most oars and canoe paddles are made from Green Ash wood as the lighter, more useful White Ash wood is becoming scarce and thus expensive.
Hardy and fast-growing, prospers under most conditions. Lance-shaped leaflets are a lustrous medium to dark green, turning yellow in fall. Crown is densely rounded or irregular, leaf stems are velvety. Grows to 50' to 60', 25' spread. (zones 2-9)
Wildlife Value
The Green Ash has moderate importance to wildlife. The seeds are eaten by wood ducks, finches, and cardinals.
It prefers wet soil conditions, and has slight drought tolerance.
This trees leaves are opposite, compound, 6 to 9 inches long, 5 to 9 leaflets that range from 3 to 4 inches in length. Medium green in summer and bright yellow in autumn.
Flower Color
Green to reddish-purple.
Bloom Time
Fruit Description
The fruit is elongated, 1 to 2 inches long, tan in color, attractive to birds.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

How many stacks of impale were you taking?
Were you dying on tank swaps? When were you dying?
Were Snobolds (especially on healers) being dealt with quickly? Two healers or three? Were they adjusting to cover for a healer with a Snobold?
During our Guild Run of 10 man ToC last night I kept on running into issues where it seemed like I was taking massive damage compared to the Paladin.
At the time I had 48.5% avoidance, 543 defense, 27950 armor, 32-34k health.
Not the best gear but a mix and mash for mostly ilvl 200-226 items, and definitely good enough for ToC 10.
The Paladin had around 42% avoidance and around 34-37k health.
I have completed the raid before as a Tank so I know it can be done but what bothered me was what appeared to be a huge difference in incoming damage.
After about 9 attempts and 5 of those me dying on phase 1, I got frustrated and switched over to my disc priest to help finish it up.
Evassara is a Dual Wield tank right now, and I switched some gear up last night after I died a few times to make sure my Expertise was 21+ and hit was 8%+. It didn't seem to make a huge difference.
I had heard someone a rumor of a bug in Frost Presence, but I haven't seen any official threads so I'm assuming thats a rumor and not based in fact.
Any idea's?
How many stacks of impale were you taking?
Were you dying on tank swaps? When were you dying?
Were Snobolds (especially on healers) being dealt with quickly? Two healers or three? Were they adjusting to cover for a healer with a Snobold?
You will have to see the log for real reason but few comes to mind,
1. Gormok does bleed and and impale that hurts, paladin was probably blocking a bit of that damage where as you will have to soak it. Also How many bleed were you switching?
2. Parry gibbing, thats the reason DW tanking is not optimal, 21 expertise is just enough to push doges of the table, not parrys. Check logs for how fast the boss was hitting you, but for the love of your raid please dont DW tank.
3. Healers, Gormok can spike you a lot, few secs missed here and there can be a splat tank, again you will have to check you logs for how much healing you got?
Just my 2 cents, my bet is on parry gibbing :P
EDIT: Forgot there is a 5 expertise talent in frost
From that point on we would taunt off each other when our impale debuff faded.
Everyone was told to stop DPS on boss while Kobolds were out, and all but 1 were following this order. Kobolds were going down quick with no issues most of time.
I didn't have combat logs turned on so that will be no help.
Maybe it was just a bad night, I'll get some more raids in this week and I'll see how it goes but I had been tanking Ulduar 10 and Naxx 25 for last few weeks with no problems.
I think its a combination of the 2, your dual wielding makes you take more parries because your expertise is only enough to avoid being dodged, not parried, but also at 48% your avoidance seems to be a little low for this level of encounters, I think you should look into going for at least 52ish% (that is about 10% more avoidance than your current).
Well im watching your armory and well i have few ideas.
Offcourse this is my first post here so you can easy scratch what is ay.
First thing is use those weapons for DPS not for tanking. Parry insta gib can cause more then 90% of wipes you mentioned if not all of them.
Also 2 hander gives gargoyle runechant that free gem slots for other stuff.
Second to much expertise gems but i see you need them but with good two hander i bet you can replace some of them.
Blue gems pure stamina, red gems soverign str/sta and for any other colour use hit/sta and exp/sta gems depends what you need.
Also i noticed some enchants are not top end. Like cloak armor is not good for you better get 22 AGI gives armor and avoidance.
Leggs use epic LW enchant.
Dont be afraid to get some more def over cap, it will incrase your IBF time up.
Dont know is it glitch in Armoury but your talent specs are not snyced with glyphs.
It showing Hungering cold glyph with tank spec and rune strike with dps spec so try that also.
Also threat wise its better to have Frost strike glyph then rune strike.
Cuz when tanking trash snap aggro is much better.
This is all in my opinion.
TBH it sounds like DW parry haste is the main problem.
However if you usally heal but instead someone else had stepped in maybe they weren't 100% aware of who to heal when etc.
Secondly, I really want to make DW work. I enjoy the way it plays. It's a personal preference really and based on everyones suggestions I will continue to improve my expertise. There are two pieces of equipment that I will be replacing with items that contain expertise. This should open up some gem slots for Stamina.
My Avoidance in my opinion is fine for my gear level and will only improve to get better. It's definitely better than what I had with a 2H Weapon and SSG.
I will work on getting some more epic item enhancements and switch out my cloak for agility.
After thinking about it a bit more I think it was just a bad combination of factors. 2/3 healers were druids which are not able to handle burst damage as well as a paladin or disc priest. I probably did get some parry-haste issues due to my expertise being a slight bit lower than what it should of been.
Currently I'm at 48.5% Avoidance, 24 Expertise, 7.8% hit, 26k Armor, 28.8k HP unbuffed.
Things should fall into place a little smoother in a week when I get my new sigil and two new peices and am able to meet the expertise with gems and boost my hp.
No Wai, start the QQ waterworks because shields are so OP for survival!
To clarify, I heard the same Frost Presence rumor and did a 'lava bath' test. Essentially standing in a lava pit in Shadowmoon Valley and watching health ticks, while trading specs/presences & calculating mitigation. From what I saw, damage was within .5% of expected, which likely resulted from the 'small' damage values (~600 base) & rounding in calculations.
As for ToC, it may be a consequence of parries & folks not adjusting to DK tanks in 3.2. I'm seeing issues where healers treat me according to the 3.1 avoidance/mitigation/health as they're used to those values, but all three took hits in 3.2 on DKs. Paladins/warriors/druids changed very little, in relative comparison to how much DKs changed overall.
One other quick note, 22 agility will do less for your avoidance than 16 defense to cloak.
But I did check your armory this time and saw that your avoidance is near 56%, not 48% as you mentioned, so this cannot be the problem.
In your position I would stack more expertise and stamina, try to get to 30k+ unbuffed without dropping too much avoidance and you should do much better.
Farm that tanking 1h from 5man heroic ToC, those will be fine for DW.
I came searching for an answer to this same question. Quick disclaimer, im the healer not the tank. We have a 2480 gear scored Frost DK tank as 1 of our 2 MTs. (I'ld give you stats but he logged in DPS gear) In 25man ToC this presented no problems at all and the tanks did not go down at all.
However we did 10man last night I we could not keep him alive. He seemed to go from full health to dead in under a second. I thought it was a healer problem to be honest. But then we switched our pally healer to his off spec tank and we breazed through with no problems at all.
From what I can tell the bleed at 2+ stacks combind with impale normal hit and stomp all in like 1 second was doing it. The tanks with shields are able to block that impale and hence dont get insta-dead. This is specualtion as he wasnt running a time indicator on his log.
Can someone explain this statement to me please? What is Parry insta-gib"?First thing is use those weapons for DPS not for tanking. Parry insta gib can cause more then 90% of wipes you mentioned if not all of them.
@ Lagspike: parry insta-gib means that you get parried by the boss which will reset the hit table and giving the boss a chance to a new hit (so basically no time between hits) thus increasing the chance to get killed (gibbed). So it just means u get parried and then instantly killed.
@ Evassara: the problem comes most likely from your DW because you would need +/- 56 in expertise skill (hard cap) to not be paried by a boss (source is elitist jerks). Now the problem with DW is that you will hit more often so the chance to get parried will be roughly doubled. Which would explain your high incoming dmaage and your frequent death. I did check your armery and you are not even by any means close to the hit cap for DW. You need +/- 27% (I think remeber reading somewhere that this is around 700 and some rating)
Parry insta gib... thought DK's got an extra 4 or so parry from using DW? so the chance that the boss will insta hit also has a increase to another parry? The threat granted by DWing now is also very nice and up-coming pach will make DW tanking for DK's dominant. Or am I mistaken?
Devesh/thorium brotherhood/horde/Dk Tank
Didn't they disable parry haste for Gormok some time after release? I think I remember a blue post saying parry hastes were accidentally enabled.
I don't know for the other bosses though.

So you want it to try to cast on your focus, then on your current target if no focus is there, then on yourself if you have no target?
Just trying to clarify
I am looking for a macro that will target current target, or self target if no focus is set. Currently using:
/cast [target=focus] (spell name)
Works great unless I forget to set a focus or need to use spell on a different target. I would prefer not to use modifiers.
Little help please.
So you want it to try to cast on your focus, then on your current target if no focus is there, then on yourself if you have no target?
Just trying to clarify
If you have auto selfcast on this macro will cast on your focus if you have one and it is alive. If you have no focus or it is dead it will just cast the spell as if you were to click it right from the spellbook
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead][] (Spell Name)
Not sure if that is what you were asking for or not.
Your understanding was perfect. I will try this new macro. Will it work if the focus is out of range? What are the second set of brackets for?
Depends on how far the focus is. If it is far enough out of range that you don't get the OOR error message then it will just cast as if you had no focus, but if it's say 50yds then it will still get stuck casting on the focus. I don't believe there's a conditional for being in or out of range. I could be wrong though.
The brackets are conditions that must be met. If a set of conditions(Brackets) are all false, then it tries the next set of conditions. An empty set of brackets means that there are no special conditions that need to be met to cast. So if the first set is false it casts like normal.
I may not have worded that correctly, but it essentially means that if all else fails, then cast it like normal.
This would have done the same thing with more letters.
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] (Spell Name); (Spell Name)
It worked very nicely. I use this to tank heal while using using Healbot for the rest of the raid. Works great for things like Earth Shield and Lifebloom.
The reason why it would cast normally isn't because your focus is so far away, but rather that your focus no longer exists. If range is too far you can no longer reference that unit and the focus is lost. Set your focus to someone standing at Dalaran south bank steps. Start walking to the flight path. You will continue to get Out of Range errors until such time as your focus frame disappears (focus no longer "exists"). Because the focus no longer exists, it fails that check and skips to the next modifier case.
There is a difference between being far away and not existing (from the perspective of your game client).
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Actually in this case we are both wrong.
I will conceed that the focus will continue to exist if they are a unit in your party or raid group because then you can reference them regardless of distance.
However, the macro will not default to the second case when distance is excessive. I haven't done testing in this area before.
Because both "exists" and "nodead" modifiers still pass for your focus target, that is the case the macro will attempt to continue to use. However, once a unit is beyond rendering distance it no longer does the distance check and in fact passes in casting the spell. But what you are wrong about is it isn't falling through to the second case to cast the spell, but rather casting with the focus as the target. In the case where this is a healing or friendly spell, this results in the "waiting for target" mode of the spell. For example, group with someone in Dalaran, set your focus to them, then port to a different major city. When you are there try running a macro like this...
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead] [@player] Holy Light
If the focus truly failed, you would expect this to cast on yourself, one can assume you are always in range to cast on yourself. However what you find instead is that you are waiting for target mode like if you picked the spell and no target was resolved. It doesn't actually get to the second case in the macro syntax because the first passes it's conditionals, however no valid target is passed to the spell. If it never gets to the @player case, you can expect the same results in any other situation where this may occur. If your focus still exists and your focus is out of rendering range, the macro will not ever skip that condition.
Range checking fails once the unit is out of rendering range so it no longer causes the error... but because there is no longer an error doesn't mean that condition fails and is skiped, in fact that condition is still valid and because you don't get an error the result is much different than expected.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Something like
/cast [nomod,@Dorry,exists,nodead][mod:shift,@Grizzlee,exists,nodead][mod:alt,@player] Hand of Freedom; Hand of Freedom
For that it resorts to the normal function if I'm grouped with them, but not in same zone/really far away. I guess I just assumed that Focus on a group member would function the same way and not catch on the focus when it's in a different zone.
That macro isn't the same one I use on my pali alt verbatim, just as close as I can remember it. I'm typing from a campus library so I can't check it exactly. So it may not be written correctly.
But definitely, I thank you for the insight on the focus and apologize if I came off as being too spiteful. I tend to challenge things that appear to go against my understanding of something to the point of offending others.
And btw do you know of any conditional for being in the same zone as a target or range or something to that effect?
A complete list of macro conditionals can be found here:
Note that complete doesn't include "no" prefix. It lists the "dead" conditional but doesn't list the "nodead" conditional. The "no" prefix can be used on any conditional. The list doesn't list all variations either (such as "modifier" shorthand "mod").
Also note that neither of these are conditionals, there is no condition evaluated but rather a instruction.
target= or @
Only way you can do range checking is through API calls. For example... the good old Lady Vashj tainted core macro.
You can have a macro use the Tainted Core, but the use or cast command can't determine if the target is in range. You can do that with script however and whisper your target "Hey Joe, you're out of range." You would still get the "Out of Range" error when attempting to use it however.
Code:/use Tainted Core /run f=SendChatMessage w="WHISPER"c="Tainted Core"t="target"u=UnitName(t)if IsItemInRange(c,t)==1 then f("You have the "..c,w,nil,u)f(u.." has "..c,"RAID")else f("Can't throw core at you. Get close!",w,nil,u)Minimap:PingLocation(0,0)end

Rated 5 out of 5 by sbologna BEST EVER!!! I wanted to lay in the crib with my son after putting this thing on his mattress. It is the most comfortable sheet ever!! I got so fed up with spending all this money on what i thought would be nice sheets and my son's poor cheeks were raw because of all of his drool while he slept (teething). Why are crib sheets all so rough--even the expensive, organic, designer ones. WELL NOT THIS ONE. You might cringe a little at spending $40 for a crib sheet, but DO IT. It will be the best sheet you ever buy. My son's cheeks weren't rubbed raw in the mornings and he just slept better. I just wish giggle made these sheets for king size mattresses. March 10, 2011

I saw two young blokes riding on the pavement while I was being walked by our family companion animal this morning.
They were heading towards the local primary school but not wearing that uniform and I guess that they were year 7 students going for the local Secondary College.
The dinkee was sitting on the handle bars possibly due to the fact that the bike had a steeply sloping cross bar unlike in my youth when all male specific bikes had crossbars that were parallel to the ground and the crossbar was the position of choice for dinking then.
is this a new fad?
Re: Dinking
Nah mate - we used to dink on the handlebars back in the 70s & I am sure it wasn't new then.
Probably still just as risky though
Re: Dinking
Still just as fun. I haven't stopped! You are never too old to have fun.
Have somebody on the crossbar and it is very stable. I've dinked somebody from for 10km like that!
Re: Dinking
5-10 posts til someone quotes a point in the road rules law which prohibits dinkying
10-12 posts til someone quotes a different point in the road rules which could be interpreted to allow such a manouver
Re: Dinking
Nah, its been around for yonks. All part of growing up. I live not far from the local primary/high school and I see kids doing it all the time. Some with better control abilities than others. The other day I saw one chick from the local high school go flying onto the front wheel. Got up and had a laugh. Sat back on the handlebars and went about 100m up the road before she was on the ground again
Re: Dinking
I remember thinking the older brother of a friend was so cool because he could ride with his little sister on the handlebars, and me sitting on the bike seat - he stood up to peddle. Good ol' "double dink".
Re: Dinking
Easy one.
Its allowed if the carried person is sitting on a seat designed for the purpose, which the handlebars aint.
Re: Dinking
Just recently I managed to dinky two of my friends, one sitting on the handlebars and one standing on the rear triangle with me pedalling. I don't see why anyone is fussing about this?
Re: Dinking
But are there any official standards that must be met? Or can I weld a piece of flat-bar between the hand-grips and be all "Hey, look, I "designed" a passenger seat!"??
Re: Dinking
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Dinking
Where are the helmets!? Oh god somebody think of the pensioners!
(Dinking is common in places where cycling is common and considered safe. But in Australia its god awful dangerous. )

Re: Dinking
What is it with cycling? 30+ kmh and lycra???!!!
Re: Dinking
Dinkiing on the handle bars is all we did in the mid 90s
What is more safe for the dinkee? I always preferred handle bars cause you could push off and run on your feet before the inevitable crash occurred.
Re: Dinking
In my day it was called doubling. I've never heard of dinking. Is it good for the bike? My bike can just sustain my fat bum. I don't think the frame, let alone a carrier rack could sustain another fat bum.
Motorists hate cyclists and cyclists hate the motorists and the pedestrians hate the bikers and everybody hates the trucks.
Re: Dinking
I've had three people on my bike without a worry. Bikes are strong.
Re: Dinking
They must make their bikes and racks different in the Netherlands
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
It can go wrong…
In my early twenties we were at the pub and friend wearing a teensy skirt which wasn't exactly brimming with pockets asked me to mind her keys. I went home early and of course forgot to give the keys back first.
She and a few mates went back to her house at 3am. Couldn't get in, so they decided to kick on in the city. She sat on the top tube of one of their road bikes. Heading down the Studley Park Rd hill the front wheel simply collapsed under the weight.
She's still got a good scar on her chin - luckily it sits just under the jawline so isn't very noticeable most of the time.

15-Minute Workouts for Every Fitness Goal
These exercise moves help lose weight, bust stress, and more — all in the time it takes to catch up on email.
By Laura Tedesco
Goal: Prevent Injury
"Like muscle, your skeleton needs to be stressed to stay strong," says nutrition and exercise physiology professor Pamela Hinton, Ph.D.
The move: Jump! The impact signals bones to become stronger, says Hinton. As few as 10 jumps each day may bolster your spine and hips.
Bonus: Add jumps in different directions or on just one leg, since bones can become desensitized to repetitive motions. For upper-body protection, do a push-up between each pair of jumps.

ARM has developed a broad range of 32-bit processors from which silicon partners can select. In 4Q12, ARM announced the first ARMv8 processor cores, Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57, which in addition to extending the performance capabilities of ARM's 32-bit processor product portfolio are capable of running 64-bit software.
ARM's lengthy history as a supplier to the mobile market has shown that the most efficient approach is to implementing silicon devices is through the use of heterogenous processing. big.LITTLE processing describes the tight coupling of highly efficient, modest compute processor cores with higher performance processors. Transparent to the software developer, low level software such as operating systems allocate specific tasks to the processor type that best meets the performance requirements for the task. The Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 represents the 3rd generation of this technology.
At Computex 2013, ARM introduced a set of products optimized for the mid range of the Smartphones. this features for the Cortex-A12, Mali-T622, Mali-V500 and complementary physical IP POP technology.
Over the last few years, one of ARM's primary focuses has been around software. ARM formed Linaro, a not-for-profit organization, specifcally tasked with aligning the open source tools and kernel distributions across the ARM ecosystem. ARM was also responsible for establishing Trustonic, a joint venture with Gemalto and G&D, focused on estalbishing a secure root of trust on which secure applications (including mobile payments) can be developed.

Eve Lom At-A-Glance
Strengths: The sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; the muslin cloths are nice if you don't mind spending extra for a washcloth.
Weaknesses: Expensive; jar packaging; limited range of products; several products contain potent irritants, such as camphor and eucalyptus; Lom overemphasizes cleansing and scrubbing skin; irritating lip balm; hand cream with sunscreen that stops at SPF 10.
Eve Lom is described as "one of the most respected and sought-after beauty professionals alive today," which is quite a feat, but a bit bewildering when you consider the quality of the product's that bear her name. A Czechoslovakia-born aesthetician who came to the United States in the 1980s, Lom studied with fellow aesthetician Georgette Klinger before jumping across the pond and taking her skills to London. PR pronouncements aside, in this case the quality of the products is seriously lacking, and most are utter disappointments, with formulas that are remarkable only in how amazingly ordinary and mundane they are.
Aside from the poor formulations, this line lacks AHA or BHA exfoliants (which have abundant research showing they are beneficial for most skin types), effective anti-acne products, and any products to address other concerns such as discolorations or wrinkles. Lom's less-is-more approach is intriguing, but less should not mean short-changing your skin on what is essential for healing, sun protection, various skin-care concerns, or well-researched ingredients. Limiting the number of products you use doesn't necessarily mean you are taking good (or even average) care of your skin.
Where this line falls seriously short are the moisturizers. Most of them are as basic as it gets, with combinations that date back to the 80s. (Think about using the same computer you used in the 80s and it'll give you an idea of how antiquated skin-care formularies won't give your skin what it needs, namely, what current research shows is essential for skin to function like young or healthy skin.) Aside from banal formulations, they also are laden with fragrance, and the few plant extracts these products do contain have minimal or no research showing their benefit; some are even seriously irritating. Any ingredient, natural or otherwise, that causes irritation can cause collagen to break down, increase oil production, and impair the skin's barrier—none of that is good and an aesthetician should know better, regardless of her pedigree.
Not a single Lom product has a formula that mixes antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, anti-irritants, and cell-communicating ingredients, which are central to the current understanding, based on published research, of what skin truly needs to look and feel its best. You can't even fault Lom for using mostly jar packaging because there are no ingredients in these products worth keeping stable. In the end, becoming a devotee to Eve Lom's products and skin-care philosophies is both a step backward and a step toward subjecting your skin to daily irritation and inflammation, both of which lead to helping skin look older, not younger.
For more information about Eve Lom, call +44 (0) 20 8740 2076 or visit www.evelom.com.

Central wins ninth straight
Adams Central jumped on Woodlan with a leadoff home run by Dalton Combs and cruised to a 10-0 victory in six innings Tuesday night in varsity baseball. The win is the ninth straight for the Jets, and runs their Allen County Athletic Conference record to 2-0.
Will Schultz added a two-run home run in the third inning for the Jets, who finished the contest with nine hits – five of those going for extra bases. Kyle Baker, Isaac Luginbill and Landon Brunner all had doubles in addition to the long balls by Schultz and Combs.
The Jets (9-4) buried Woodlan in the third, scoring four more runs after the Schultz homer. Cooper Hill reached on a fielder's choice, and Kyle Baker drew a...

7 tips for paying off student loans
You've finished college with two things: a new degree and at least one student loan to pay off. But don't worry, says Casey Gorman, project manager for the University of Phoenix repayment management team, there are simple ways to pay off those loans responsibly — and in some cases, quickly.
Here, Gorman outlines seven tips to help get you started:
Set up direct payments.
Many lenders have some kind of interest rate discount — usually about 0.25 percent — for students who set up direct payments from their bank accounts, Gorman says.
"Lenders like direct deposits because they increase the likelihood that you'll make your payments on time," she points out. And while one-quarter of 1 percent doesn't seem like a lot, Gorman notes that it will add up over time. "A small discount is better than no discount," she asserts.
Increase the number of payments.
When you can swing it, make an extra payment, Gorman suggests. "Those funds can be applied directly to the principal balance [if specifically requested]," she points out, "which means you pay less in interest over time and pay off your balance earlier."
Doing this requires consistency: If overpaying one month means missing a payment the next, it can have a negative effect on your credit score if the institution you owe reports late payments to credit bureaus, she says. Lower credit scores can result in higher interest rates on future loans, costing you more down the road.
Manage your budget.
With a set spending plan, Gorman says, you not only know where your money's going, but also when you have any leftover funds each month to put toward student loans. "Giving up extras is no fun," she acknowledges, "but when you watch your spending, you may notice that you are spending too much on things you just don't need."
Gorman suggests writing down and regularly reviewing your weekly and monthly expenses, noting, "It will keep you on task."
Pay off high-interest loans first.
Loans with high or adjustable interest rates cost more the longer you have them, so tackling those first will save you money in the long run, Gorman says. A loan with an adjustable variable interest rate, for example, can adjust from 6 percent to 8 percent.
"Target payments toward unsubsidized and adjustable variable rate loans first, since those will typically have higher interest payments," Gorman stresses.
Consolidate debts.
Both the federal government and some private lenders offer consolidation loans. Be mindful, Gorman emphasizes, of new interest rates on consolidations. "Evaluate your consolidation terms carefully," she says. "Private consolidations typically will not provide the same repayment terms and benefits as a direct loan consolidation would."
Explore repayment options.
Research all of the repayment plans for which you might be eligible, Gorman suggests. For instance, rather than extending the term of your loan and potentially paying more interest, you might qualify for the federal Income-Based Repayment Plan. This program typically caps your payments at 15 percent of your annual income and allows you to repay student loans based on your monthly income.
Be creative.
Find out if your bank offers a debit card rewards program that will allow you to pay down your balance with debit points. While you're at it, check whether your lender offers any other interest rate deductions. Some private lenders, for example, reduce interest if your credit score is consistently high and your payments have been on time.
The Upromise Loan Link® program also can help you earn cash back on eligible purchases to help pay down your Sallie Mae® loans. Another possibility: Negotiate with potential employers for partial loan payoffs as part of a compensation package or as a hiring incentive. Gorman adds, "It never hurts to work every angle."
