The secret to a happy marriage? Treat your spouse like a five-year-old. Now, I'm not saying you should use monosyllabic words or give her time-outs. I'm not advocating being a total condescending bastard. What I'm saying is this:
A couple of years ago, I read a massively popular parenting book called How to Talk to Kids So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk.
The book made me a better dad. So much better, in fact, I wondered: Why am I limiting these ingenious strategies to kids? So-called grown-ups, me included, are the emotional equivalents of kids, just with more body hair and voting rights. So I started treating everyone my friends, coworkers, boss, and, yes, my wife like a five-year-old. Among the techniques:
Pay full attention to your spouse. This may seem obvious, but you can't believe how often husbands and wives multitask while arguing. Stop making the damn turkey sandwich and turn and look your wife in the eyes. It'll cut her anger in half.
Repeat these words: "Oh ... mmm ... I See." If your wife comes to you with a problem, don't immediately try to give advice. Don't tell her that she should suck it up and fire her slacker assistant. Instead, make soothing, understanding noises. Humans like to vent, so let them.
Label emotions instead of denying them. Pay attention and you'll start to notice how often you dismiss people's emotions. ("It's not so bad," "You'll forget about it soon," "He didn't mean anything by it.") This rarely works. Instead, articulate the feeling from the other person's point of view: "She didn't invite us to the dinner party? That's shocking, because you invited her to yours just two months ago."
The key, though, is subtlety. You can't be too obvious about treating your spouse like a five-year-old or it'll bite you in your patronizing ass. Which has happened to me.
"You're mad that I didn't eat the salmon in time, because you hate it when I waste food," I said.
My wife paused. "Don't talk to me like you talk to the boys."
"You think I talk to you like I talk to the boys? That must be frustrating."
"Stop it!"
"You're annoyed because you want me to treat you in a more adult way."
I almost got a time-out.

The living room and hallway are painted. The color is beautiful and the painters did a good job. I now need to paint the trim in the hall; the four doors opening off the hallway have fluted maple trim with rosette corners. The trim was sanded and primed (Zinsser) before being installed. Ditto on the baseboards. The trim was not caulked. The carpenter installed it and left. The walls are light sage; the trim will be white or ivory. Should I caulk around all the trim and then paint? The paint is latex. The wood is maple with one coat of Zinsser primer. What is the best caulk to use for this job? Could you point me to a good video or website to learn to do a great caulk job? I'll be doing this one myself. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I spent a few minutes looking for a good caulking video and couldn't find one. Maybe there isn't one. The problem with caulking after the walls are painted is that you are going to bridge gaps between trim and walls and to do that properly, you are going to be getting some caulk on the walls so you may need to touch up. You can just leave the caulk that got onto the walls unpainted, but eventually dust will stick there and it will look bad. All caulk should be painted over. The two biggest tips I can tell you about caulking is cut the caulk tube hole very small and never finger down caulk with a dry finger. The best way is to keep a wet rag or sponge on hand so that your finger is always wet before you tool that caulk down. Also, sand all the wood that has been primed smooth before caulking and don't overwork it. Once you get the hang of it, you just lay the caulk bead on, run your finger over it once and you are done. The best caulk for trim caulking is probably DAP Dynaflex 230 or H2u which is made by OSI. |
PaintGuy, I appreciate your info! Thanks, I've been researching, too. I know now I should have caulked the trim before painting the walls, but that's okay. I've got plenty of time to touch up the green paint that gets caulk on it. I've perfected my "dry brush touch ups," too. Live and learn. I should now caulk the trim, paint the trim, and then touch up the green walls, correct? Thankfully, the living room is getting all natural hickory (or maple) trim. No painting on it. |
Yep, that's the correct order. |
Be sure to get an elastomeric caulk that will expand and contract rather than crack. Dynaflex 230 mentioned above is one. |

All suggestions are welcome. Thank You.
And another question, how in onkyo TX-SR 875 change impedance from 4, 6 ohms to 8 ohms as all JBL speakers works at 8 ohms?
I currently have option in onkyo 875 to change the 4 and 6 ohms.Does not offer me the option to switch to 8 ohms.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank You in advance

Screen is attached via HDMI only.
I'm using almost only HDMI inputs (all 4 taken), and 1 component input (WII). I've not used the WII in years, but it used to work just fine - not so anymore.
All the component and composite inputs seem to have gone bad somehow.
The input is seemingly lacking the needed synchronisation and the image is shaking sideways all over.
I've tried hooking up the WII to all 3 component inputs and to the composite input of AUX2 as well, all the same result.
I've also tried all 3 output modes of the WII, no joy.
If I hook up the WII directly to the TV I get a perfectly good image (but no sound, my screen has no speakers at all).
So it's not cables nor the WII itself.
I might over the years have changed some setting that is causing this - but I've tried canging many of them and nothig seems to help at all (passthrough or upscaling all seems to make no difference at all).
Any settings I need to double check or any easy repair options for the Onkyo ?
I'm located in Europe should that matter (and the Onkyo is a EU model).
can some one please provide me a link or an copy from the "xx5_Onkyo_UpdatesISO.zip" file? As far as I understand, it's handy for fixing the EEPROM error. I tried google and searched this board, but didn't get a working copy.
*edit: I would like to fix the EEPROM Error according to this post: The Onkyo/Integra direct firmware updates. My Problem is, I just can't find any of the needed files. The receiver is a few years old now and forgets it's settings every time the power goes down. It's actual Firmwares are: MAIN: 1.07 and HDMI 1.01
Can anyone tell me, which are the newest firmwares and where to get them and perhaps the old 1.05 main fw?
Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you
Because I have a last gen Panasonic plasma (no 4k) and a 7.1 home theater, I am thinking that an integra 80.2 or onk 5508 will better feature match my components than my 875, but I do not have the resources to get a pre/pro AND a new 7ch amplifier at this time. I got my 875 new in 2007 and particularly since getting some active cooling for it, it has been a titan.
It occurred to me that the 875 might act as a perfectly adequate (and THX Ultra 2 certified) amplifier for the time being.
Does anyone have experience with this? Obviously I want the 7 analog channels coming out of a nice pre/pro to bypass all signal processing in the 875, and I have heard that is possible except for volume control. How would one go about eliminating all signal processing from that source (I am assuming there is a specific sound mode for this, maybe a menu setting?), and if the volume cannot be eliminated, what volume should I set on the unit to interfere as little as possible? Is it plausible to expect a setup that works as well or better than the 875 has worked by itself?
I would really appreciate hearing about people's experiences.
My TX SR875 was in storage for 4 years and today upon hooking it up noticed there was no output from the Center or Surround L/R channel. I cannot get a test tone either. Tried a reset to no avail. Speakers work fine so that not the issue. Front L/R and Surround Back L/R work fine so it is the other two channels were I am having issues. Any ideas what it could be as I went through the speaker setup and settings are all correct?
Surprise, especially me... It is now working.
I ran it last night and got it fairly warm but still had the issues.
This morning I checked for obvious signs and checked the fuses by pulling them out and placing them back as well as testing transistors and looking for blown caps and a smell test but nothing came up. Hit the power button and surprise all speakers worked perfect.
The only solution I came up with was either the heat from the previous night of running made it work (though I doubt this as it was unplugged all night and it ran perfect while dead cold) or the fuses I pulled to test for the channels might have had oxidation between the clips and by moving it to test the connection was re-established (this is what I think was the accidental fix).
Oh well, no longer looking for a new receiver so happy I am.
Cables and speakers are checked and confirmed not the cause.
Anybody encountered this before and what is the possible cause?
I have re-uploaded the xx5 recievers firmware update ISO: http://www.share-online.biz/dl/FCBBVXPM39

Onkyo have told me, in numerous emails, that the 875 will pass through both video and audio in standby, in other words, I don't have to have the amp turned on all the time just to watch the news from my SkyHD box etc. But no matter how many times and what permutations of settings I try, nothing works, as soon as I turn off the 875 the picture/sound is gone.
Any ideas, please?
Thank you.

Thank you.
ALSO can anyone confirm if it can handle 4 Ohm Speakers without any issues like the Axiom M100s.
I am running Ascend Towers With RAAL FR/FL and Sierra1's as RR/RL with and old Aperion Center and a JL F113 Subwoofer.
I feel like I am not getting the most from these speakers compared to everyone else on the Ascend Forum.
As for 4 ohm speakers, try and search the thread, or skim the first few hundred posts, you should be able to find something about that. It's a fairly common subject any time a new receiver shows up. Investing in a good 2-channel amp would probably be a good idea for those speakers though.
It's one of the main reasons I replaced mine with a Denon years ago. My 875 is just sitting in the box collecting dust.
edit: searching for the E2PROM error will bring up results like this thread: Onkyo E2PROM Error Thread

I have a 7 year old TX SR 875 which had the HDMI card replaced at great expense about 15 months ago.
When I got it back I set up all the original inputs (Cable TV, Blu Ray player etc) but did not configure the AM/FM Tuner. Yesterday when I tried to configure it, I couldn't. The display shows the Frequencies changing as I step around the local stations, but I could not tune to and receive any stations (AM or FM). While all this was going on, I was receiving what sounded like a community station playing dance music, but that came through on FM no matter what I did. If I unplugged the external antenna, I got nothing at all.
The unit was reset to factory settings, and Firmware was updated (or so I was told).
Any suggestions, please? Is the tuner a separate plug in unit? Could it perhaps have been dislodged during the HDMI card replacement?
PS: I have found that the station it can receive is 99.1 FM. No matter what the tuner display says, this is the only signal I can receive. Strange thing is that even if I scan the Onk past 99.1 it still won't recognise the station.

I am switching to a Nr838 next year unless the 2015 models look better.
The left rear surround channel on my amp has stopped working for no apparent reason. Definitely the channel as I have checked speaker, cables etc. Any ideas appreciated........

I have a 1920's frame house with a chimney along one end of the exterior wall. I was installing an HDTV over the fireplace this weekend, and when I drilled the bracket into the studs, the drill bit retained some pungent, yellow sticky wood upon backing out of the hole, almost seemed like sap but I am assuming it is creosote. This was only at the 2 holes within the stud that falls in line with the chimney itself, the one alongside it had dry regular redwood shavings. Unless framing members were treated with creosote back then, I can only assume it is buildup from when the fireplace was wood burning. At some point a gas fireplace insert was installed, works fine with no apparent heat at the wall surrounding the chimney. I am wondering if there is any danger in this buildup living within the wall farming, even with the unit having it's own surround and not being wood burning. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks. |

I don't think it would be creosote for 2 reasons. 1. If the wood in the flue were exposed to exhaust from the fireplace enough to create creosote deposits, your house would be non-existent! 2. Creosote deposits are black, not yellow. Some woods hold sticky sap for many years and I believe this is what you are seeing. If there was creosote in the structure, it wouldn't ignite before the wood did anyway. If your fireplace insert was installed correctly and the correct chimney liner installed, you shouldn't have a problem. |
Wow, I hope you're right. Sap was my first thought, but when it showed up in both holes I drilled several inches apart along the same stud, I thought it would be strange to have a pocket of sap span that far. It was definitely yellow, and stuck to the drill bit with a vengeane; took twice as long to drill those holes vs the others. Thanks for your reassurance. |

hydrogen bomb
hydrogen bomb
Weapon whose enormous explosive power is generated by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes. The high temperatures required for the fusion reaction are produced by detonating an atomic bomb (which draws its energy from nuclear fission). The bomb's explosion produces a blast that can destroy structures within a radius of several miles, an intense white light that can cause blindness, and heat fierce enough to set off firestorms. It also creates radioactive fallout that can poison living creatures and contaminate air, water, and soil. Hydrogen bombs, which may be thousands of times more powerful than atomic bombs, can be made small enough to fit in the warhead of a ballistic missile (see ICBM) or even in an artillery shell (see neutron bomb). Edward Teller and other U.S. scientists developed the first H-bomb and tested it at Enewetak atoll (Nov. 1, 1952). The Soviet Union first tested an H-bomb in 1953, followed by Britain (1957), China (1967), and France (1968). Most modern nuclear weapons employ both fusion and fission.

Vancouver Canucks 2012-13 Annual: All the President's Men
Thomas Drance
August 29 2012 07:47AM
Can the Canucks go back-to-back-to-back? (And then get eliminated in the first round again?)
Partly because they play in such a thoroughly woeful division, the Canucks managed to repeat as President's Trophy winners last season. But their first round playoff exit, in five games at the hands of the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, marred the 2011-12 campaign as a "failure."
Being at the absolute top of the table is a testament to the quality and consistency of the roster, but regular season dominance simply isn't the goal for this club, or their management team.
Is Justin Schultz Worth the Hype?
Thomas Drance
June 28 2012 10:27AM
(This is a trunctated version of a longer Canucks Army post by Thomas Drance)
There are conflicting reports, but it appears as if Justin Schultz, with his representatives from Newport Sports in tow, will begins to hear pitches from individual teams hoping desperately to land the highly touted 21 year old defenseman on Thursday. That's per Bob Mckenzie:
The UFA defenceman and his agents will over the next two days meet in Toronto with a small group of teams he has on his shortlist.

Highlights: Namibia (Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund)
The fresh sea breeze whispers through your hair as you sip Champagne and feast on fresh oysters on one of Namibia's most stunning deserted beaches.
Journey deep into the heart of Namibia's arid desert to Sossusvlei, a clay pan surrounded by soaring sand dunes that are among the highest in the world. Take a 4X4 tour into the dunes and witness the early-morning sun illuminate the landscape in a brilliant shifting shadow play, visit the vast Sesriem Canyon, and choose to take an optional hot air balloon ride or scenic helicopter flight to truly appreciate the scale and rich colors of this expansive desert region. The moonscape continues as you drive through Kuiseb Canyon towards the charming old-world town of Swakopmund where the golden desert meets the azure sea. Here, you'll cruise to Bird Island and Pelican Point where a colony of fur seals, pods of playful dolphins and abundant birdlife including flamingos, pelicans and penguins all compete for attention. Stop for a lunch of oysters and Champagne on a deserted beach and tour the dunes and natural lagoon en route to Sandwich Harbour.
Namibia is a rich natural playground of contrasting landscapes that span desert moonscapes, soaring golden sand dunes, untouched white sand beaches and azure coastal seascapes. Your experienced team of English-speaking guides and private drivers will lead you on thrilling 4X4 dune tours, majestic game drives and ocean cruises that will delight you at every turn. And just as delightful is your collection of premium accommodation that includes luxury villas, elegant mountain lodges and charming guesthouses.

This afternoon you'll meet up with others from the lodge and enjoy a nature drive and have sundowners and witness the spectacular beauty of this region.
Early morning visit to Sossusvlei. It is surrounded by possibly the highest dunes in the world and is filled only with water in years when exceptionally good rainfall is received. After spending time in the dunes you will visit the Sesriem Canyon. It is said that the canyon got its name during the time of the ox wagon, when a person had to use six harness straps to haul water from the bottom of the canyon. Please note that if you're not using a 4X4 throughout the trip you will take a 4X4 shuttle into the dunes.
While at Moon Mountain there are a lot of activties to choose from. Activities available in the area include serene hot air balloon flights, scenic flights with airplane or helicopters, dune drives, sun-downer drives, game drives, mountain trails and a lot of photo opportunities.

The route takes you north via the Kuiseb Canyon to Swakopmund. Highlights en route include a drive to the "Moon Landscape" and the ancient desert plant, "Welwitschia mirabilis". This quaint desert town with its old-world charm and relaxed atmosphere hedged by desert and sea, is enhanced by lush green lawns and palm trees.
This marine dune day gives you the ultimate combination of a leisure cruise on the Atlantic Ocean, a delicious lunch on the beach or in the dunes and a 4x4 ride in the breathtaking Sandwich Harbour area of the Namib Naukluft Park. The day starts with a marine cruise in the morning at 09h00. You get a chance to see flying pelicans, seals, the Walvis Bay Harbour, old boat wrecks, dolphins and during season even whales and turtles. Around 11h30, your skipper will drop you off at a deserted beach at the Jetty at Pelican Point, where your Sandwich Harbour 4x4 guide will meet you with a Land Rover. You will see the Kuiseb River Delta, flamingoes, the saltpans and the wetlands just north of the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon. If weather and tides allow, the drive goes right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, one of Southern Africa's richest and unique wetlands. If vehicles cannot make it there due to tides, you will have the time to walk 4 – 5 kms. Alternatively, you will get a chance to see the Lagoon area from one of the many beautiful lookout spots. You will have plenty of time to take photos, when the big dunes in Sandwich Harbour are crossed. En route, a light meal with snacks and salads as well as oysters and sparkling wine are dished up. The oysters here are amongst the best in the world. On the return drive to Walvis Bay, more giant dunes are crossed, including the big roaring dunes. Arrive in Walvis Bay at app 16h30.
This idyllic coastal town is the perfect location for walking tours, shopping, relaxing at a quaint coffee shop or along the sandy beaches.

Africa Rebecca Warren , August 02, 2014 "My 26 year old daughter recently traveled alone to Madagascar using Kensington tours. I was a little concerned about her safety and wanted to make sure that she would be well taken care of. Kensington was great from start to finish. Our travel agent, Marc Sisson, put together the tour in very short order with very little notice, had no problem doing it for just one person, and gave me a sense of security that my daughter would be well cared for. She did the Anjajavy 5 Day Beach extension. The tour guide who picked her up at the airport in the capitol city was outstanding -- very knowledgeable and helpful. The Anjajavy hotel was extraordinary. Her pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. She kayaked, swam in the ocean and saw lemurs feeding. She got to practice her French with the outstanding hotel manager and otherwise was able to just relax and unwind. She described the experience as "visiting Eden." I highly recommend Kensington. I contacted a number of tour/travel agencies and none of them compared to Kensington. "
Africa Shayna Maislin , April 21, 2014 "I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"
Africa Lucy Gilkes , April 21, 2014 "The whole trip was wonderful but the guides were what made it for us. They were knowledgeable and thoughtful a pleasure to spend time with."
Africa Janine Chey , April 21, 2014 "Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

A nonlinear two-dimensional micropolar fluid model for blood flow in a tapered artery with a single stenosis is considered. This model takes into account blood rheology in which blood consists of microelements suspended in plasma. The classical Navier–Stokes theory is inadequate to describe the microrotations or particles' spin of such suspension in a viscous medium. The governing equations involving unsteady nonlinear partial differential equations are solved using a finite difference scheme. A quantitative analysis performed through numerical computation shows that the axial velocity profile and the flow rate decrease and the wall shear stress increases once the artery is narrower in the presence of the polar effect. Furthermore, the taper angle certainly bears the potential to influence the velocity and the flow characteristics to considerable extent. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I have a couple of cracks in the drywall in my bedroom and want to know the best way to go about fixing them. The cracks extend from the corner of a window. I lived in a home years ago that had a lot of these, to be expected in an older home in the Dallas area (clay soil that expands and contracts a lot) but man were they unsightly. It seemed that they way over engineered the repair and when the soil (clay) around the house became more moist and the cracks sealed up whatever was used to fill the cracks now squished out of the cracks. Its a real problem in the Dallas area to be sure and because my house is on the newer side I dont want to repair these the wrong way and cause an even more unsightly problem. I was thinking some caulk injected into the crack (as caulk can expand and contract to some extent)and then texturing over it (splatter drag) with a can of texture from HD. I'm really pretty good with the can-o-texture, greatest thing ever invented, but mostly I dont want to butcher the crack and live to regret it. Whats the best way to go about this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need either paper tape or fiberglass tape - to bridge the crack and give the repair strength. Spread a little joint cement on the paper tape, then apply to the crack. With a 4" taping knife smooth out the excess joint cement. Let it dry. Then add thin layers of joint cement - sanding lightly between coats. The idea is to make an 8" - 10" wide repair that is feathered from the center - don't build a big lump in the middle. 3M sells a sanding sponge. If you use fiberglass tape - it's sticky. Just cut to length, apply to crack, then cover with joint cement. |
Before applying compound enlarge the crack, be aggressive about it and taper the edges. Then apply compound and tape. flatten tape out and apply 3 more coats after each coat thoroughly dries. |
It the crack is 'working' (moves during the years from humidity or structural issues like wind loading, snow loads in winter, etc.) it is unlikely to stay closed perfectly anyway. |

The solution, or so the city's traffic planners hope, is to encourage people to cycle for longer distances by creating the cycling equivalent of freeways, which will provide fast, direct routes of up to 22 kilometers into the center.

As it turns out, infrastructure really matters. Your chance of injury drops by about 50 percent, relative to that major city street, when riding on a similar road with a bike lane and no parked cars. The same improvement occurs on bike paths and local streets with designated bike routes. And protected bike lanes – with actual barriers separating cyclists from traffic – really make a difference.

The proposed bicycle superhighway would, in addition to four lanes (2 in each direction) have exits but no intersections, two types of wind protection (low bushes as well as solid fencing) periodic bicycle service stations, and would take eight years to complete.
Total cost of the superhighway is estimated to be about 50 million Swedish crowns (US$ 7.1 million).

Society has master painters, Academy Award-winning directors, and Hall of Fame athletes.
And then there's the legendary woman they all look to when they want to party.
Susanne Bartsch has been called "the nightlife equivalent of a couture label" by The New York Times. She's spent decades hosting the wildest parties and events in iconic New York nightclubs from the Copacabana to Bentley's.
And Saturday, she's hosting Bartschland in Boston.
No party that Bartsch designs is quite like anything you've seen before. For this one, imagine a 7,000-square-foot room that looks like the Studio 54 of Alice in Wonderland, a place where the beautifully bizarre, fashionably freaky, and alluringly avant-garde combine into a not-your-average night to remember.
Bartsch and her colorful crew of party goers will lead the celebrations for Revere Hotel's one-year anniversary, which means you'll need to look the part. Anything from face paint to tank top to a vintage second-hand suit will do, and anything boring will certainly not.
And snapping back into the real world for a moment, the event will benefit victims of the Boston Marathon attacks via the One Fund Boston.
So go ahead, hit the forward button.
Bartschland in Boston
Saturday, May 11
Space 57 at Revere Hotel, 200 Stuart St., Theatre District
(617) 201-1626
Tickets: $25-75 here
Nearby: MJ O'Conor's; Gypsy Bar; Wilbur Theatre

The Daily Blues
Today's a Friday and there are only a few Blue posts (including "LOL I PWNED GC!"), but there's also some good StarCraft, Diablo, and other Blizzard news for all of you who are itching for that information.
Table of Contents
We have three options to approach issues like this, really. We can lie and tell you we don't think it's a problem. We can say nothing. Or we can tell you that we think it's a problem and eventually want to fix it. This is the road I try to take as much as I can. The fourth option, fix it immediately, isn't on the table as much as you might really, really want it to be, or we would have already done so.
I highly doubt we will see GC post on this thread again, he tends to not come back to threads where he has spouted ignorance and in turn been roflstomped for it.
I think you are mistaking "I disagree" for "LOL I PWNED GC!" :)
If Warriors are balanced around Rend, why is it not in the Protection tree? Or at least at a lower tier in the arms tree? That's kinda like saying Paladins are balanced around Imp Lays of Hands -and- Heart of the Crusader at the same time.
As someone above pointed out, Deflection is not in the Protection tree either. We're not really trying to encourage the 0/0/71 talent spec.
At the same time, going for dps talents as a tank can be an interesting choice. If it's a fight with a lot of quickly spawning adds, having more damage can be useful in picking them up. If it's a dungeon without a big risk of you dying, then going for dps can speed things along. Yet when you run into a situation where keeping you alive may be hard, then you can consider dumping those talents in lieu of something to keep you alive. I understand that given a choice between threat and mitigation that most tanks will choose the latter every time. Still, some of the most fun gear decisions I have had tanking were deciding when I could afford to sacrifice survival for threat and vice versa.
A couple of designers looked at the cooldown, evaluated how often it really mattered, concluded not often, and thought the ability would be simpler to understand, less frustrating, and perhaps a small DK buff without the cooldown.
There's no metric. There's no philosophy. There's just a subjective decision being made. They give DKs a massive survivability buff because they think it makes tooltips read cleaner.
I can't believe I'm letting myself get sucked into this, but these two statements [above] are at odds with each other.
Before I had my yacht, gin and pony, this is what we would call science. Make a hypothesis ("looked"), tested the hypothesis ("evaluated") and decided whether the hypothesis could be rejected or not ("concluded").
The community (or rather a subset of) looks at the cooldown being removed from Will of the Necropolis, perhaps notices for the first time what the talent really does, perhaps disagrees with that course of action and leaps to the conclusion that the inmates must be running the asylum. Short of publishing a peer-reviewed paper that demonstrates our decision was made for sound reasons, we're not going to be able to walk those nay-sayers through all of our logic, nor would they be likely to be swayed by actual evidence anyway, nor do we want to get into a position where we have to ask the community's permission to make a change we think is right for our game. :)
None of that is to argue that some of these decisions aren't very subjective. They are. You can't turn a system as complex as WoW into some kind of mega equation that accurately predicts every outcome in the game. And really, who would want to? It's a game with a lot of math. It's not just math.
Really, though, we're off topic (again). This is why I am often reluctant to post. A thread trying to understand our philosophy on aspects of tanking became another stage for "If I was a WoW designer, I would have avoided all these foolish mistakes!"
We're not done. Did not make a change this instant != done.
Other Blues
You'll also be able to take a look at the new Stat Changes post that we released for information on what we're working toward for Cataclysm. We want stats to mean something, but we also want it to be understandable at the same time.
We're doing what we can to continue to make the in-game experience better for everyone while still giving the challenges that many are looking for.
More advanced players who dig into the higher level stat finessing aren't likely to fit into the definition of "new player" by the time they get up into the end-game experience so getting into the higher-end theorycrafting etc, on our end gets into dangerous territory. We want players to experience the game as intended, but we don't want to dictate to anyone how to play all at the same time. This is a balancing act on a high-wire, with a bear on a unicycle while juggling an apple, banana, and a small coconut while a fiddler dances on the other end. (No swallows were involved in transporting said coconut.)
We have many more things that we would like to do both in game and out of game to help players get into the game from the start and make the entire experience from there to end-game the type of experience we all want to have as gamers too.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
25 But I considered it necessary to send you Epaphroditus-my brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and minister to my need- | 25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. |
26 since he has been longing for all of you and was distressed because you heard that he was sick. | 26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. |
27 Indeed, he was so sick that he nearly died. However, God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have one grief on top of another. | 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. |
28 For this reason, I am very eager to send him so that you may rejoice when you see him again and I may be less anxious. | 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. |
29 Therefore, welcome him in the Lord with all joy and hold men like him in honor, | 29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, |
30 because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up what was lacking in your ministry to me. | 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for the help you could not give me. |

Are the standard red and black plums you get in the store any of the varieties for the home orchard? I've noticed that many fruit varieties grown in the home orchard are frequently also commercial varieties--Red Delicious, Honeycrisp, Bing & Lapins cherries, Bartlett Pears, etc. But, I've never seen the black plums identified. Despite the usual awfulness of store-bought fruit, the black plums are truly delicious if picked ripe enough to actually ripen before they go bad after purchase, to a soft, juicy, and very aromatic perfection! The descriptions of the plums offered by the various nurseries don't seem to match commercial plums, and the pictures also don't resemble the commercial ones. Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are hundreds of plum varieties grown in CA where nearly all of the store bought plums originate. I couldn't find good pictures by variety but some harvest dates are listed below. Those are a mixture of plums and pluots. |
Here is a link that might be useful: plum/pluot harvest dates

beeone- Depending on where you are buying them from, some grocery stores sell them right out of the box they were shipped in. On that box will tell you the variety. I know Woodman's does this and A place like Sam's CLub or Costco may do this too... |
I tried to find the name of a variety of grape I liked at the store, but they had no idea. The box didn't say. |
- Posted by franktank232 z5 WI (My Page) on Mon, Feb 4, 13 at 15:01
Tilton- I've always had good luck finding the variety, but maybe some growers don't label? I know a few times i had to pick the boxes up and look on the other side.... This was always on stonefruit (plums/peaches/nectarines/pluots)... A place like WalMart, i've never been able to know. |
Thanks for the input. The grocery stores always put them on display so I don't get to see any boxes, and I know the personnel don't know what specific varieties they are, but I will watch for a box and see if I can learn anything. Walmart did have several types of pluots this last year with the variety stated, but they were your standard tasteless sugarless fare. I would guess the commercial varieties are not hardy here anyway, it just seems odd that they don't seem to be sold by variety and the nurseries also don't advertise commercial varieties. Keeps me from trying to zone-push with plums! |
beeone: Some of the packing houses have their own line of plums. Their plan is to have a constant supply of plums that look similar and ripen all summer long. They think people get confused by specific names. So we aren't their target audience. Most grocery stores have the same plan, generic fruit for the masses. The store can market Red Delicious apples year around because of storage. Plums have an average market window of 2-3 weeks. So a specific name doesn't mean anything to most people. It's not around long enough for much repeat business. |

YAVAPAI COUNTY - A man who threw a puppy outside a car window has been arrested.
On June 16, Joseph Kennedy, 27, was arrested on 2 felony counts of Cruelty to Animals, as well as Possession of Dangerous Drugs and Paraphernalia.
The incident happened on June 11 around 9 a.m. in Cornville.
A witness called YCSO after seeing a man throw a puppy from a car on Cornville Road while driving around 50 miles per hour.
The puppy was recovered and was treated at a local emergency vet clinic. The dog suffered significant neurological issues as a result of incident.
Following media reports, YCSO received several calls and Kennedy was identified as a suspect.
Deputies spotted Kennedy in the back of a truck stopped in a Cottonwood convenience store parking lot.
As the truck began moving, investigators say Kennedy ducked down into the bed hoping the deputy would not see him. The truck was stopped and Kennedy was arrested.
A search of Kennedy's property revealed 3 personal use packages of methamphetamine and associated paraphernalia.
According to deputies, Kennedy had just had a fight with his girlfriend the day of the incident. Kennedy was "distraught," and while riding with others in a friend's car, he tossed the dog from the vehicle because he didn't care for the animal.
Kennedy was booked at the Camp Verde Detention on the indicated charges and remains in-custody on a $17,500 bond.
YCSO Animal Control Officers have monitored the care and follow-up given to the dog and report she is doing well in a foster home.

"The Warriors Prayer"
Heavenly Father,
Your warrior prepares for battle.
Today, I claim victory over Satan by putting on the total armor of God!
I put on the Belt of Truth!
May I stand firm in the Truth of Your Word
So I will not be a victim of Satan's lies
I put on the Breastplate of "Righteousness"!
May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy,
Protected under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I put on the Shoes of Peace!
May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel
So Your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter.
I take the Shield of Faith!
May I be ready for Satan's fiery darts of
Doubt, denial and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat.
I put on the Helmet of Salvation!
May I keep my mind focused on YOU
So Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts.
May the two-edged sword of Your Word
Be ready in my hands, heart, and mind so I can expose
By faith Your warrior has put on the total armor of God!
Praying always with prayer and power in the Spirit,
And watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
I am prepared to live this day in Spiritual Victory
In Jesus' Name!
Your warrior

A white paper on touch screen technology focuses on helping engineering and industrial designers make better decisions regarding the integration of touch technology in outdoor applications. The touch screen is an increasingly popular interface for interacting with many electronic devices. Commodity touch screen panels generally are not acceptable for applications requiring greater optical performance, higher reliability, or operation in harsh environments. Because the touch panel is typically the outer surface, it must be optimized to support the overall optical, environmental, and performance requirements. The white paper, titled Touch Technology Primer, gives a brief overview of the different touch technologies available, as well as a matrix for helping design engineers select the best technology for their applications. A copy of the white paper can be obtained from the company's Web site at www.whiteedc.com/pdf/whitepapers.html.
