Windows 7 plugs WoW {WoW}
Sep 10th 2009 8:24PM I run Snow Leopard, Windows 7RC and Ubuntu Jaunty(Linux) on my (non-mac) laptop.
Incidentally, I was previously running XP instead of 7. I run Warcraft on all 3 OS's, and it runs more or less equally on each.
The microsoft training thing the original blog post is about was Microsoft "training" best buy employees with specifically anti-linux training material that was vague at best and definitely questionable to outright false at worse. Ultimately, each OS is different, has their pros and cons. I use each for a variety of reasons, but I game on all three (whichever I'm currently running, generally).
There's definitely a lot of fanboy angst in this thread - it's inevitable when OS's are discussed, but it annoys me. OSX, for example? It's a great OS. Well designed and stable, but you're basically forced to live within Apples guidelines. It's fantastic for people who want a computer that "Just Works", though. Windows 7RC is amazing, and in my opinion is Microsofts best OS offering, ever. I hated Vista and reverted to XP, but 7 is much faster than XP was while being slicker and much more "Usable" than Vista. Linux, on the other hand, offers orders of magnitude more customizability and raw power; but to really get the best out of it you need a higher skill level and interest in learning things. I should note, though, that the newer Ubuntu releases are improving very rapidly in terms of "Just Working" and being far more user friendly. It's definitely not just for servers anymore.
Viruses? Malware? First, if you get a virus, 99% of the time *it's your own damn fault*. OSX and linux are far safer than Windows 7, but not because they are much more secure (though they ARE more secure, the gap has closed a lot with 7) Really, though, the real reason is that Windows has such a huge market share that virus designers are basically targeting the most common platforms. As OSX and Linux variants continue to gain market share, just wait: There will be more viruses and malware targeted at them too. It's simple cost/benefit analysis.
Finally, one point to consider for the Apple fanboys. A Mac runs the *same hardware* a windows or linux based system runs. The only difference in terms of hardware is that mac's don't have inexpensive low-end components, only mid to high end. The OSX operating system can be - and often is - installed on non-mac hardware, where it runs just fine. Also, OSX is ultimately just Unix - the same roots that Linux has. Under the hood, they are VERY similar.
BlizzCon 2009: Blizzard announces cross-server instances {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2009 5:36PM Wow. That's really, really awesome.
Really awesome. Extended to raids too, eventually, will be *fantastic* though I REALLY hope you can have a better selection system.
For example, a "select all" button; the ability to effectively LFG all heroics EXCEPT ones you're saved for. In fact, one that automatically disables entering LFG for instances you're saved for.
It's annoying when you've done one or two heroics, and just want to get into some other random one but don't care which.
This, though... really, it's outstanding. If they do go ahead and allow cross-server chat/friends lists too? zomg. I have so many friends on so many servers, being able to chat and instance with them? It would be fantastic, we'd get the benefits of a huge single-shard server like Eve without the horrible disadvantages (crushing, mindblowing lag if too many people are in the same place at the same time).
Imagine, if they extended it to Wintergrasp? Brought in cross-server folks to get everyone who queued on *any* server into the battle? Excess people who couldn't get in on their server, able to bounce to another to fill empty space?
BlizzCon 2009: Initial thoughts on the Hunter changes {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2009 4:41PM I've got a huntard and a feral druid, and I'm REALLY happy for this change.
Mana is annoying.
Energy/Focus, however, is much more tactical instead of just button-mashing. You're not limited by GCD's, you're limited by energy. It regenerates fast enough that you're not left bored, but you need to think more about what you do and when.
With a mana based system, you just fire off your shots whenever they are available, so you're just a cooldown monkey. Run out of mana? Nerf your dps to get some back. Yay. Exciting.
Instead, energy allows you to do other things (missing a GCD isn't terrible) so in fights where you need to run around, get out of the fire, etc you don't nerf the hell out of your dps. It's just a noticeably *better* system.
Arcane Brilliance: What Cataclysm will mean to Mages, part 1 {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2009 4:22PM
Sir, as a hunter/druid/others-but-no-mages, I'd like to say that your column is made of awesomesticks and win. It's the only class column that I ALWAYS read, and I'm largely uninterested in mages!
That is all.
Patch 3.2.2 PTR: New Onyxia loot revealed {WoW}
Aug 15th 2009 11:02PM Well, you could try mousing over the links in the original blog post, that shows the stats on a lot of the loot.
Maybe not the helms in particular, but you can get a good idea.
232+ish; the helms will be around the highest that drop.
Why Hit is a "sexy stat" {WoW}
Aug 15th 2009 12:31AM Tex, while technically correct, you miss my point.
Rarely is the choice between 1% hit or 1% crit. I see LOTS of players using, say, crappy heroic drops instead of much higher ilevel drops, so you're not comparing otherwise equal items.
So, while mathematically speaking it's better point for point, rarely is it that simple.
To be more clear: Be within 1% of your hit cap from gear. Then look to gem the rest, but don't go over the cap at all. This provides more flexibility in your gear choices, so you can take better pieces overall. It's easier to get small bits of +hit off your gems than gear.
Also, to reiterate: If you're NOT doing serious raiding, remember, your hit cap is lower against Heroic mobs. If that's what you do most, you can easily waste a lot of itemization by prioritizing hit too much.
"Zero lore. Maximum fun." with Onxyia back in town {WoW}
Aug 14th 2009 8:50PM Bah, gimmie a break about the lore thing. People killed her over and over before, how's it any different to kill her again now? The only difference with 3.2.2 over the current patch is that she'll drop better loot. The story is the same as it was.
Don't want to kill a boss twice for RP reasons? Then don't.
There's not really any way they could have brought her back with new lore without changing the encounter. We killed her and hung her head from SW after all.
Much better to preserve the original raid when retuning it rather than redesigning (and thus just removing an old raid and adding a new, different one).
Patch 3.2.2 PTR: First impresssions of Onyxia {WoW}
Aug 14th 2009 8:47PM If I had my way, they'd redo ALL the old content this way.
It's FAR faster and cheaper from a development standpoint to redo the old raids. The single largest expense and time consumption factor in raid development by several orders of magnitude is the graphic design and modelling, of the instance itself and the mobs within.
Thus, their artists can continue, for the most part, building new content along side the encounter designers (as old content is already designed), while a skeleton crew re-tunes the old encounters.
It's not one or the other, it's much more like the whole "Feature A being added has no bearing on how quickly Feature B gets done" thing.
Not to say I don't want new stuff, but what I *DO* want is more game content available at level cap. Old raids are simply not practical to run at all while levelling - you don't jump into MC while levelling generally outside of MAYBE 80-run milk runs.
Also, there are literally MILLIONS of players who have never run the old raids. MILLIONS. This *IS* new content for them.
I for one am ecstatic at the notion of multiple raids at a given tier level, instead of one raid per tier. A new raid, plus a couple retuned ones would be AWESOME.
Possible new race/class combinations datamined {WoW}
Aug 14th 2009 8:36PM I've played primarily a Night Elf Druid since Vanilla WoW.
If there are Worgen druids, I'll reroll Worgen Druid in a *heartbeat* - the only thing I'd even consider dropping my Ulduar-geared 8k achi point druid for.
Without a second thought. Not even one.
Why Hit is a "sexy stat" {WoW}
Aug 13th 2009 10:42PM There's so much misinformation and sillyness. People shouldn't get all bent out of shape about hit; you don' tneed to keep multiple peices of gear around etc, etc.
First: You want to get hit as close to your cap as possible, WITHOUT EVER GOING OVER.
However! It's NOT THAT BAD if you're not capped.
DPS loss to a percent or two of missing is negligible at best, and often more than made up by getting significant power enchancement from other stats.
Furthermore, consider buffs. Are you likely to be grouped with a Draenie? Your hit cap just dropped to 7% instead of 8% (melee). You're better off gearing for 7% and having a 1% miss rate on the odd chance you don't have a draenie handy than gearing for 8% and wasting all that itemization when you are grouped with one.
So, to be as simple as possible:
Hit is a good stat for you if you're below cap; but it becomes WORTHLESS as soon as you cap. Thus, you're best off staying a little below the cap to give yourself "breathing room".
I play a hunter, and a feral druid in 80 raiding. In both cases, I consider my Ideal Hit Percentage to be "Greater than 6%". If I'm under 6%, I'll gem for hit until I can find gear to push me back over 6%, then I'll regem to Armor Penetration again.
I aim for >6% to give me room for draenie hit bonus (we have LOTS of them in our guild) and to provide lots of flex room, while leaving a heft itemization bonus for lovely crit and armor pen and such. I maintain top notch dps doing this, in hardmode-ulduar/Tourney raids and below.
Also, remember, if you're primarily running Heroics? Hit cap is lower - the bulk of enemies you fight will only be level 80, and bosses are typically 82 (iirc); so you need less overall. In a heroic, you're not gearing for "Vs. Boss" performance so much as "Overall Performance".
So, if I were a heroic running player, I'd probably lower my hit target from 6% to 5%.

After the show, Silbermann said the industry has the opportunity to grow demand like never before.
"We are finally turning the corner and understanding that creating demand is even more important than fulfilling demand," he said Oct. 23.
Exhibitors reported high foot traffic on Oct. 19, the expo's first day, but cited fewer floor visitors on the final day on Oct. 20.
"This show is very good and we're meeting a lot of people and seeing some new things as well as some innovations," said Joseph Bunting, produce category manager for United Supermarkets in Lubbock, Texas. "The food in this city is outstanding. It's a fun atmosphere.
The show marked the first decade of PMA's Foundation for Industry Talent Pack Family Career Pathways program, which helps recruit young people into the produce industry.
"I am impressed to see more young people than I've seen in the past attending workshops and walking the show floor," said Maureen Torrey, vice president of Torrey Farms Inc., Elba, N.Y. "The programs show young people the opportunities at all levels in the industry. This show is upbeat and this is a great city."

Zipper Interactive zips up, bids farewell to fans
SOCOM developer confirms its closing down.
MAG and SOCOM maker Zipper Interactive today confirmed its closure. In a tweet addressed to fans, it said:
After 17 years it's time to head off into the sunset. A sincere thank you to all our fans for everything you've done for us. Farewell.
— Zipper Interactive (@Zipper) March 30, 2012
Sony, too, acknowledged the closure in a statement sent to Game Informer.
"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm the closure of Zipper Interactive, a Seattle-based internal game development studio that has been part of the global development operation of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS).
The closure is a result of a normal cycle of resource re-alignment within SCE WWS. Zipper has completed all work associated with its most recent project, Unit 13 for PlayStation Vita. Zipper titles MAG, SOCOM 4 and Unit 13 will continue to be supported, including the new Daily Challenges in Unit 13."
Zipper Interactive was formed in 1996, and had approximately 80 employees. We wish them all good luck in the future, and hope they find and form studios to make even more awesome games.

Maybe i am opening a can of worms ,by posting this question
but i was looking at the Marriage forum and a thread got me thinking about this . why is it sometimes that after two people for 10 or so years one spouse will have a extra-marital affair when everything will appear to be okay on the outside ?? Zeke |
Follow-Up Postings:
So many factors that can lead up to it happening....it could be that the mother is expected to raise the children and gets no help and grows weary....could be that the husband comes home to the mother and doesn't understand why she is too tired...With childless couples, it can be a matter of getting into a routine and taking each other for granted...I could go on with a half dozen other scenarios, but the bottom line is that if you want a relationship to work then BOTH have to put in equal time..If one's not willing, then eventually somone is going to get tired of trying and look elsewhere. |

Also, APPEARANCES are not always the whole story. Many people appear to be fine but are repressing or bottling up issues, etc. Also, sometimes if there is no hope of ever resolving a problem people just give up and say, "I'm fine." At least an arguing couple is communicating to some extent. I have learned the hard way that all that glitters is not gold. Plus, darnit, I think fidelity is mighty difficult. Not impossible mind you, but humans can slip, we're not infallible. A lot of people go into denial when there is a problem, then they become susceptible to distractions. So anyway, I'm a firm believer that the appearance of no problems is not necessarily the reality of no problems, you know, the Wizard of Oz syndrome. But I'm kinda paranoid. |
the wizard of oz sydrome , is that like standing behind a curtain ?? Zeke |
I've read, 7th, 10th and the year after children leave home appear to be the hardest. If marriage was as involved and expensive as divorce there would be a fewer marriages. I've learned many lessons in my lifetime. Honest communication stands out in any type of relationship. It takes two and a lot of hard work. Wing |
True those are rough periods Wings, but there are others that don't even have a direct relationship between the couple.....depression from the death of a parent that a spouse can't get over, coupled with a premature hysterectomy that makes a woman feel worth less (not worthless) to a relationship and in order to feel better they go shopping, but the high just lasts a little while. And yes I lived that experience, tried to encourage and tried counseling to make it work. It didn't...she's now in another tough marriage, already had to turn her hubby in for dealing crack and THEN went back to him because she had no other option and they declared bankruptcy...someday I AM going to write a book. |

No comment on the cheating thing specifically ... but I have recently "browsed" on the marriage forum too - just to see what they're talking about. Scary. I think the issues discussed there influence my thinking more than this one ever ... Glad to know I'm not the only single listeneing to what the married people talk about. I've been there - but it's been long enough to forget all the concerns ....if you get my drift. |
I'll buy your book Tinman. Maybe we all could have a chapter. You'd have to list it as fiction of course. ;) Actually, those things you mentioned do have a direct relationship. Many times what is important to one person isn't necessarily important to the other and difficult for them to understand. This lack of understanding isn't because they don't care...we are all very different people and have different wants and needs. Outside influences are internalized differently with each and every individual. With added physical problems the mountains can become insurmountable. If one's Higher Power was counseling The Marriage Board...........EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! Wing<-sleepless in CA |
I had never checked out the marriage board until just now, myself....after reading for a few minutes I have come to one conclusion. I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married.....I'm glad I'm not married..... |
well at least you didnt put the NEVER word in the above :-). Zeke |

1) agree that appearances are decieveing 2) some people think a 'once in a lifetime chance' is worth wrecking something it takes a lifetime to build 3) face it- we've lost all sight of such concepts as sin, and shame...if they ever served their purported purpose in the first place (remember, the whole concept of chivalry and courtly love was a desperate attempt to stem the tide of culture that had turned sneaking and cheating into a competative sport of the nobility) the people who think that right and wrong actually matter- don't cheat. we'd rather get into an arguement about polyfidelity. |
i watch DESPERATE HOUSE WIFE just to understand how marriage life is, and it seem very complicate (i know tv show can be misleading)but to certain extend i think it had a real life story behind it. |

State attorneys general who think their state's gay marriage bans are unconstitutional shouldn't have to defend them, according to the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
Speaking to the National Association of Attorneys General, Holder said deciding not to defend a state's law should only be done under "exceptional circumstances," noting cases against gay marriage bans qualify as such. He added that his state counterparts should uphold the values "that all are created equal and entitled to equal opportunity." "Any decisions, at any level, not to defend individual laws must be exceedingly rare," Holder said. "They must be reserved only for exceptional, truly exceptional circumstances."
"And they must never stem merely from policy or political disagreements, hinging instead on firm constitutional grounds," he added.
Holder's announcement is the latest salvo in a national battle to define marriage. Kellie Fiedorek, an attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom, talked more about its implication on CBN News Today, Feb. 26.
In the weeks before Holder's speech, Democratic attorneys general in Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Oregon and Nevada had all already declined to defend same-sex marriage bans against lawsuits filed by gay couples.
Critics reacted to Holder's move, saying top state law enforcement officials have a duty to stand behind their state laws. Meanwhile, CNS News reports a group of black pastors is calling to impeach Holder.
"President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have turned their backs on the values American people hold dear, values particularly cherished in the black community: values like marriage, which should be strengthened and promoted, rather than weakened and undermined," the Coalition of African American Pastors said in a statement.
In the meantime, the battle over marriage continues to rage from state to state week after week, with Michigan being the latest to put the institution on trial.
One two-week case involves a lesbian couple who want to overturn the state's 2004 voter-approved ban on gay marriage. It's a ban that passed by 59 percent and was upheld by the state Supreme Court. "The state of Michigan's already spoken on this issue. The people, the public has spoken, and God has spoken," Rex Evans, pastor of Free Will Baptist Church, said.
In Arizona, gay marriage supporters are pressuring Gov. Jan Brewer not to veto a bill that protects the religious rights of business owners who don't want to provide services for same-sex couples.
The Arizona measure came about after Christian business owners in other states were sued for not providing wedding services like cakes or photography for same-sex couples.
One gay rights supporter said, "They need to keep their religious philosophies in their churches."
But supporters of the bill say it comes down to protecting religious freedom in the state and that it simply clarifies existing state law.
"The homosexual community will say, 'You need to be tolerant of our lifestyle,' religious rights supporter Nicole Burress said. "But that tolerance isn't reciprocated toward the religious community."

For the 15th annual Juice Issue of VIBE magazine, just one cover (with Diddy and friends) isn't enough. The musical mag also enlisted Eminem and Dr. Dre for their August/September 2010 issue. Dre dressed in his familiar doctor's coat, as seen in Em's "My Name Is" and 50 Cent's "In Da Club" videos. And of course every time we see the "Under Pressure" rapper, he's plugging his Beats By Dr. Dre headphones (seen here worn by Eminem). Check out the full cover after the jump. Which version of the Juice Issue will you be picking up?

Can anyone help me id this vine? The closest I can come up with is Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea batatas, somewhat bur different!)except that it's not quite a match. The photos are of immature leaves and the color ends up to be similar to a kiwi. It is tuberous, vigorous as all get out, grows fast and Japaneses beetles adore it. Seems to prefer shade and it does not appear to be woody.
But, unlike a sweet potato it is quite hardy and survived 7b freezes in a small pot so pot bound there was barely any dirt in it. Previous homeowners had planted it in a pot underground which I dug up - it was everywhere. It also did much better in the fall when the weather cooled. Then it really took off. It was a monster of a plant like something out of Steven King. Just grew and grew...It laughs at weed killer and loves to be run over by a lawn mower. This year I put it in a big pot hoping to keep it in control. Thank you.
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm wondering if it is variegated porcelain berry vine. See the link below. Remy |
Here is a link that might be useful: variegated porcelain berry vine photo
Thank you Remy! That is exactly what it is without a doubt. I could not find anything like it and appreciate the help. I looked up porcelain berry vine and mine has more pink in the leaves and I had no berries, but it seems they don't all berry. The berries are pretty but apparently make the plant invasive via birds, so I'd rather not have them. The thing is amazingly lush and vigorous. It's become a household joke, The Evil Vine. We keep our Great Dane away from it in case The Vine is hungry. It's an interesting plant even if it is flashy, I'm glad I have info on how to take care of it now - in a big pot. |

Photos: Anti-marijuana propaganda -- a vintage guide to reefer madness
WEED with ROOTS in HELL
Here are two of the posters from the now-cult classic that started it all. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a series of completely over-the-top scenes of people being mowed down by stoned drivers, having vivid hallucinations, and suffering fits of violence -- plus a number of other vignettes meant to scare kids straight. In reality, the draw was Dorothy Short, Lillian Miles and the sexy Thelma White as the incorrigible Mae Coleman. The film was considered a flop until it rediscovered in the 1970s by hippies into irony.

text: Pregnancy > Pregnancy Problems Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH) All the answers you're looking for about PIH. What is pregnancy-induced hypertension?As you might have guessed, pregnancy-induced hypertension (aka PIH) is where a woman develops abnormally high blood pressure during pregnancy. You'll also retain water and have higher-than-normal levels of protein in your urine. This is also called toxemia or preeclampsia. What are the signs of PIH?You may have some swelling, but often there are no symptoms at all. In severe cases PIH can cause headaches, blurry vision, nausea and vomiting, pain in the upper right abdomen, and sudden swelling in the hands and face. Are there any tests for PIH?Yep. Your typical prenatal visits usually include blood pressure and urine tests, both of which can help diagnose PIH. Other tests you may need include kidney and blood-clotting function tests and scanning to measure how well blood is flowing to the placenta. How common is PIH?Pregnancy-induced hypertension occurs in about 5 to 8 percent of all pregnancies. It happens in about 10 percent of first pregnancies and in 20 to 25 percent of pregnancies where the mom-to-be has chronic hypertension. How did I get PIH? Young moms-to-be (teens) and women over 40, as well as those who are carrying multiples, have a family history of PIH or had high blood pressure or kidney disease before pregnancy are all at increased risk. How will PIH affect my baby? PIH can affect the level of blood flow to the placenta, which means less oxygen and nutrients for your baby. That means she may have a low birth weight, especially if she is delivered preterm. So your OB will likely monitor you closely (see next page for treatments, prevention and resources). -- C.

Civil Society in Afghanistan: Spark or Stumbling Block for Stability?
With international troops withdrawing from Afghanistan, Afghan efforts to promote security will increasingly be taking center stage. This event examines the extent to which Afghan nongovernment organizations (NGOs) can help achieve stability. Speakers will discuss the appropriate balance between state, market, and civil society in fostering stability in Afghanistan; assess the U.S. military's civil society outreach and engagement efforts in Afghanistan; present findings on how Afghan NGOs are working to counter violent extremism and build peace; and examine how Afghan civil society is preparing for 2015, and how the United States can help.

Titles read: 'Romsey. Military Wild West Show.'
Soldiers recreate the American West. First some guys come riding out on horseback - among these some stunt riders standing up on horses; a guy twirling a lasso. Next; a roping demonstration: a man with a lasso stands in a large field; and lassos a man on horseback as he rides by. Then we see a horse & rider pulling a man behind them who has a rope around his waist! Looks like cruel & unusual punishment. We missed the part where he roped the guy like a calf; though!
A line of men in front of building in BG. Another stunt: a man stands holding out a stick (?) and the roping expert; this time wielding a whip; whips the stick into pieces. Dressed up like American-Indians; in long fringed jackets; headbands; feathers; the soldiers dance around 2 wigwams or tepees (teepees) portraying wild savages. 'Cowboys' gather round tables outside makeshift saloon to get drink - two stand on tables and play banjos. Parade of horse-drawn carriage followed by stunt rider standing up on horse and other horseback riders.
Racism; stereotyping; World War One; entertainment.

CASPER - Under fire from Democrats and even some Republicans for his role in potential reform of the nation's health care system, U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi remains willing to work on a bipartisan plan, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Enzi, R-Wyo., is a member of the so-called "Gang of Six," a group of Senate Finance Committee members who have played a key role in shaping possible health care reform. The group is scheduled to hold a conference call Friday to try again to reach common ground on a health care bill that could win broad support in the full Senate.
On Tuesday, White House senior adviser David Axelrod suggested that Enzi and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, have not acted in good faith on the issue. Axelrod was responding to statements by the two senators, including Enzi's speech in delivering the GOP's weekly national address on Saturday, in which they sharply criticized Democratic health reform bills.
Their remarks, Axelrod said, "were not exactly consistent with good-faith negotiations."
Wyoming Democrats echoed that criticism Wednesday, charging that Enzi has "caved" to Republican leaders on health care reform and now advocates gutting the legislation.
"It was incredibly disappointing when he came out this weekend and he not only said he would work to gut the bill, but he misled the people of Wyoming on what was in the bill and what was being worked on," said Wyoming Democratic Party Chairwoman Leslie Petersen. "I just can't express sincerely enough how disappointed we are."
But Enzi spokeswoman Elly Pickett said the senator's statements - including assertions that Democratic proposals would restrict medical choices and make the country's "finances sicker without saving you money" - are consistent with what he has said all along.
"Repeating that you don't agree with plans put together solely by one side doesn't mean you aren't willing to work together on a different plan. He is. He has been doing that," Pickett said.
During an appearance in his hometown of Gillette last month, Enzi also drew fire from some for even being willing to negotiate with Democrats over health care. His response was one of his favorite sayings: "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu."
The White House announced Wednesday that President Barack Obama will deliver a major prime-time health care address to Congress next week, before the Sept. 15 deadline the president had given the "Gang of Six" to draft a plan. That suggests that top Democrats have all but given up hope for a bipartisan breakthrough by the group.
But spokeswomen for Enzi and Grassley said they're committed to continued negotiations, in spite of Grassley's recent statement that Democratic-drafted bills would be "a pathway to a government takeover of the health care system." In an August fundraising letter, Grassley also asked for "support in helping me defeat Obama-care."
Grassley spokeswoman Jill Kozeny said Grassley was simply restating his well-known opposition to a government-run health insurance plan.
"Attacks by political operatives in the White House undermine bipartisan efforts and drive senators away from the table," Kozeny said. "Anyone who's working on an alternative plan - one that would actually drive down costs and not drive up the deficit - knows how difficult the issues are."
Pickett said Enzi is committed to bipartisan health care reform, but the constituent feedback he's getting opposes a government insurance option to compete with private options.
"They want to start fresh, and they want to have health care reform that doesn't include a government-run option. And he agrees with that," she said.
She also said Enzi doesn't think the legislation so far has been bipartisan. He would prefer to have a bill pass the Senate with 75 or 80 votes, she said.
"To him, bipartisan doesn't mean one or two votes from the other side of the aisle," she said.
In his regular news conference Wednesday, Democratic Gov. Dave Freudenthal said he didn't think Enzi's statements in the GOP radio address Saturday signaled a shift in the senator's approach to the issue.
"I didn't hear anything in it that I hadn't heard before. Now, clearly there was some political timing in it, and that's fine, that's just theater. But in terms of the substance of where he's at, I don't think he's in any different position than he's said he was in from the beginning," the governor said.
"There is discussion about whether or not they'll come back and work some kind of a deal - my guess is, if it's within the ambit of what he believes is right, he'll probably support it. If he doesn't believe it's right, he's not going to support it. I'm having a little trouble with all of the drama about it," Freudenthal said.

I have a almost 4-year-old boy, an almost 2-year-old girl and am due with #4 at the end of August. I have a Graco DuoGlide in-line style double stroller and am not very happy with it. It weighs a ton, fills up half of the back of the mini van. It's very difficult to turn, especially with kids of different weights. It's also hard to manuever in tight spaces, although this seems somehow counter-intuitive. Can anyone recommend something else?
Moms with side-by-sides seem to be happy. The McClaren seems particularly sturdy. The Combi is supposed to be good too, although it feels less sturdy. I suppose this is just the way its made. I met someone else with the Peg Perego and was very happy with it (so far). Is there anything else out there? |

I had the DuoGlider too and was not happy for the same reasons. Its heavy and just more difficult that its worth. I have the MacClaren side by side. The bad thing is that its a side by side so the older kid can reach (hit) the younger child. It also does not have a tray in front of the child which is useful when you want to 10 minutes in a store - no tray so no place to really put a drink and snacks. But I have to say, I love it. I've had it for over two years and am very happy. Its small and easy to use. That pretty much overshadows all the bad things. I've also come to realize that no one stroller serves your needs (which explains a news report that I saw with women that had six strollers). So bottom line - if I had to pick just one double stroller, it would be the MacClaren side by side. Good luck on your hunt. HotSpotMama |

Reaching back into your past can help you reach out to new employees who could benefit from your words of wisdom.
Cleaning, when done properly, is a straightforward series of tasks and procedures repeated multiple times throughout the scheduled workday.
Overwork doesn't just make Jack — and Jill — dull; it affects our health, our relationships and even our overall happiness. But there is a fine line between efficient effort and having your work life dominate everything else.
As a manager of cleaning operations, working for the same organization and seeing the same people every day, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture.
How could they invest so much in the medical center without recognizing the need for the highly qualified and well-trained environmental services workers required to clean it?
As cleaning professionals, one of the most difficult tasks we face is staffing our facilities, especially in a tough economy where every dollar counts.
While training students with special needs for jobs in the cleaning industry took a little longer and required more effort, what they brought to the workplace made that time both productive and worthwhile.
There is a shift taking place in the industry; increasingly, building operators see clean facilities as an investment that both attracts and protects occupants and customers.

Incredible that the man who gives multi millions to radical socialists causes, like Barack Obama's presidency, would pucker his cheeks to keep $1.9 million dollars from a former squeeze. The ex-girfriend, a Brazilian movie star, must herself be a desperate and pathetic creature to crawl into the sack with that old lizard skinned asshole. That aside this is just another indication that he is a slimy bastard like all of his fellow travelers. (I used the word 'slimy' in a previous post – I like it and will probably use it on a regular basis.) Anyway, as usual – Just my opinion….William Mccullough
George Soros Sued By Ex-Girlfriend Over New York Apartment Promise
Fox News, August 11, 2011
A beautiful Brazilian soap star has the lead role in her own daytime drama, which casts George Soros, the billionaire financier of lefty causes, as a heavy who not only broke her heart, but also reneged on a promise to give her an Upper East Side apartment worth $1.9 million, The New York Post reported Thursday.
The drama will be staged in Manhattan Supreme Court, where 28-year-old Adriana Ferreyr on Wednesday filed a blockbuster $50 million suit charging, among other things, that the frisky octogenarian slapped her around while they were in bed discussing his real estate betrayal.The sultry actress and the mogul, who is worth some $14.5 billion, had dated for five years before he heartlessly dumped her a year ago, the lawsuit says.
But they briefly reconciled, and while spending a romantic night together, he whispered in her ear that he had given the apartment to another woman.
"While still in bed, Soros slapped Ferreyr across the face and proceeded to put his hands around her neck in an attempt to choke her," her lawsuit claims.
Soros, 80, then allegedly attempted to strike her with a glass lamp, and though he narrowly missed, it smashed on the floor and she cut her foot, which required three stitches.
According to a police report, she called cops, but no charges were filed.
Soros "denies throwing the lamp and totally denies trying to choke her," a friend of the billionaire's told the Post.
To read more on the lawsuit against George Soros, see the New York Post article here.

[205] Breast Carcinoma Following Treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Study of 31 Patients
A Goyal, C Mies. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Background: Approximately 30% of women successfully treated with supra-diaphragmatic radiation for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) develop breast cancer, placing them in a high-risk category. Whether and how the clinical and pathologic characteristics of breast cancer in this setting differ from those of sporadic breast cancer is essential to developing improved screening and treatment approaches in this unique group of breast cancer patients.
Design: This is a retrospective study of 31 patients with breast cancer that occurred after treatment for HL, whose breast cancers were pathologically confirmed in our department between 1991 and 2009. We studied clinical records, pathology reports and histologic slides to determine the mode of clinical presentation, pathologic features, AJCC stage and predictive marker profile of 38 cancers occurring in these 31 patients.
Results: Median age at breast cancer diagnosis was 43 years. Mode of clinical detection, known for 29 of 38 cancers, was: palpable mass = 13; mammogram = 13; MRI = 3. Most cancers occurred in the upper quadrants (81%) & were unicentric (97%), i.e. grew as a single mass. The majority of index cancers (26/31 = 84%) were invasive; 5/31 (16%) were DCIS-only at the time of diagnosis. AJCC stage for the index cancer was known for 23 patients with invasive carcinoma: Stage I = 11/23 (48%); Stage II = 9/23 (39%); Stage III = 1/23 (4%); Stage IV = 2/23 (9%). Seven patients (23%) developed contralateral carcinoma (3 synchronous; 4 metachronous), with 3 of the metachronous carcinomas occurring > 10 years after the index cancer. Contralateral cancer was invasive in 4/7 (57%) & DCIS-only in the other 3. One contralateral DCIS was detected by MRI – alone; however, very few patients had MRI exams. Five of 26 (19%) index invasive cancers were negative for ER, PR & HER-2/neu ("triple-negative"); whereas, none of the 4 contralateral invasive cancers had this phenotype.
Conclusions: Except for occurring at a higher rate, at a lower median age and perhaps, more often in the upper quadrants, breast cancer in this high-risk context shares many features with sporadic breast cancer. These cancers do not appreciably differ with respect to rate of multicentricity, bilaterality, stage at presentation or prevalence of the "triple-negative" phenotype. Efforts to improve screening in these patients should focus on increasing the number of patients identified at the in situ stage of cancer. The pathologist's tasks are the same as for sporadic breast cancer – establishing AJCC stage and the cancer's predictive marker profile.

Summer is almost upon us here, but you
wouldn't think so looking at the weather outside. It's grey, with
only little streaks of blue visible, which doesn't bode well for a
planned photographic excursion to Long Jetty tomorrow. (It was either
Thursday or Friday, but I figured the former suits me better seeing I
can then duck off and get any pictures printed up on Friday.)
Currently, I feel a bit out-of-sorts.
I'm at home today, listening to the soundtrack of "Game of
Thrones", which I have started watching recently. The music is
doing it's work, and I have been captivated by the opening theme,
which is quite powerful. Pity there isn't a five minute version of it
rather than the 106 second long main title theme.
Still, good show. I was sucked into it
by the end of the first episode. As always, one develops a liking for
certain characters, and I must admit, I really like the dwarf, Tyrion
Lannister, and the spirited tomboy Arya Stark. Of course, Sean Bean
leads the way as Eddard Stark – he's very suited to the role. I'm
four episodes into it, and looking forward to the other six in the
first season.
Haven't been tempted to read the books
though. I have seen a few people reading them during my recent train
trips, but have heard negative things about them from fellow gamers
who have read them. I honestly don't have the time to read them
currently, seeing I trying to read four books at once already. One of
them, a book listing all of Rome's emperors (and usurpers), I picked
up whilst out delivering papers last week for a mere $5. It is
helping me amend a list that I started compiling back in 2005, whilst
doing Open Foundation at Ourimbah.
Currently, the list contains the names
of 157 emperors and pretenders, from Augustus in 27 BC right down to
Romulus Augustulus, who was 14 years old in 475 AD when he was
crowned emperor. Within a year he was forced to abdicate, but was
granted a pension and died in 511 AD.
The list was originally compiled as a
side project just to see what was the average time on the throne of a
Roman emperor, and the most common means of death. The original list
revealed that they lasted around eight years, and very nearly one in
three were assassinated. However, the original list contained very
few usurpers, and as I go through this book, the list of those who
felt that they could do a better job than the man (men) in charge
just gets longer and longer. At times there were even usurpers rising
up against other usurpers, and early in the fourth century there were
five gents marching about with claims on either the eastern or
western half of the empire at the same time. One emperor, Maximianus,
who co-ruled with Diocletian, had three goes at it, and really
should've stayed retired the first time round.
Who needs TV dramas when you have all
this political and military manoeuvring to read about? The book,
Triumph and tragedy: The rise and fall of Rome's immortal
emperors, by Alexander Canduci, is at times written very
tongue-in-cheek, which I quite like, seeing that some of these
gentlemen went to extraordinary lengths to grab the top spot, and
others just became a footnote (if that) in history after believing
that they could do better, but couldn't.
Anyway, I digress. My mood currently is
quite indifferent. I felt quite drained after work on Monday (it was
quite warm), the day made even longer by listening to the Australians
inability to dismiss South Africa on the last day of the second test.
It was hardly inspiring stuff. If you have your opponents four
wickets down going into the last day, surely you should be able to
get the final six in a day's play. Australia should've won this
match, but didn't, and one hopes that the changes made to the side
will pay dividends at Perth over the next five days.
I actually have a chance to go to the
cricket next year. A mate of mine is getting tickets for a day's play
of the new year's test against Sri Lanka. It's been a while since I
last visited the SCG, but seeing that I have other distractions
during summer...
...like football for example. I rushed
back on Sunday from Newcastle (after playing a couple of games of
Blood Bowl) to see the Mariners take on Brisbane Roar. A fiery,
entertaining first half was replaced by a tough, dour second half,
but the home side got the points and comfortably sit second on the
ladder. The same mate who is getting the tickets for the cricket in
January, is coming up for the top of the table clash against Adelaide
this Saturday, and I have already acquired a ticket for him and his
son. It was nice to be able to utilise one of my membership
privileges, in that I can claim four free tickets during the season
for mates.
Sunday was indeed a very long day. I
was awake around 7am, was on a train to Newcastle at 8.45, returning
back to Gosford for the football at 3.30pm. I arrived at the ground
about five minutes before kick-off. After the game, a fellow gamer
that I hadn't seen for a while popped in, and we were chatting up
until 2am. (Of course, I had to work Monday, didn't I?)
Gees, I've done it again. I can't
exactly put my finger on the central course of my moodiness.
Yesterday I ducked into town to grab the football tickets, and had
lunch at the club. The buffet I must say wasn't that good, and I've
made a mental note to avoid it from now on. (That and I've gained a
couple of kilos which I'm determined to lose before the next
dietician's appointment in March next year.) I got another batch of
pictures printed up (I go to one particular spot because I like one
of the sales assistants at a particular store – she even calls me
by my first name when I'm picking up the photographs), knocked two
more things off my "Must Get" list, and headed home, and have
been here ever since.
I just feel like I'm in a apathetic
mood. I don't really want to do anything, but, as my mind often
reminds me, we have to do something, seeing there is so much we can
catch up on, like this blog entry for instance, or sorting and
cataloguing the huge amount of pictures that I have taken this year.
Instead, all I feel like doing is watching a DVD or playing computer
Sigh. I'm sure it'll pass.
Funnily enough, on Monday, my sister
started working for the same place that I'm working at. She has taken
a sales position, where she goes out and drums up some business for
the company, trying to get businesses to buy advertising space in the
papers. She'll be doing this 2-3 days a week, earning a commission if
she gets any sales. She resigned from her previous job, due to some
internal drama, and is actually looking forward to getting on the
road and making some money.
I don't have a problem with it. I hope
she does well. Perhaps I might even get to see her more often.
Anyway, I think that's enough for now.

Quick Flash recap. First we had Jay Garrick. Then we had a reboot in 1956 that introduced Barry Allen, said to live on a parallel Earth. Then a reboot in 1986 made Barry's sidekick the new Flash and also altered history so Jay now lived on the same earth. In 2011, DC had another company-wide reboot in which all comic titles were cancelled and 52 new titles were released. In the New 52, Jay Garrick and Barry Allen once again live on separate Earths and Kid Flash is a very different character. Let's get to it!

Wonder Woman vs. Parademons in this Justice League: War Clip
Educated Guess
DC's upcoming animated feature Justice League: War is based on the Geoff Johns and Jim Lee story from the New 52 and the newest clip from it features Wonder Woman fighting some Parademons. However you may feel about the storyline, the video above is... not exactly promising. Sure, it's nice to see Wonder Woman kicking ass, but the random costume that doesn't match anything she's ever worn before and the fairly wooden voice acting doesn't exactly bode well for the film. Thoughts? Opinions? Fire away! Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?

Syfy's Face Off Pairs DC Comic Artists With Contestants This Season
Holy Rusted Metal Batman!
Syfy's Face Off is one of my favorite shows. I've always been interested in movie makeup but didn't have the skill to make it a career plus, the show isn't overly dramatized like most reality TV these days. They premiered the fourth season last night and while I've yet to watch the episode, we've just found out some people we're very familiar with will be making a guest appearance in a few weeks - employees of DC Comics. Find out if your favorite creator will be giving their artistic input to the contestants after the cut. Read More -

DC Digital Comics Will Not Be Exclusive To One E-Reader
Highly Successful Marketing Strategies
DC Comics made a few people angry recently when they decided to make an exclusive deal with Amazon for over 100 of their digital comics to be available on the new Kindle Fire. Barnes & Noble notably took offense to such a decision and pulled DC graphic novels from their physical store shelves. Books-a-Million followed soon after. Well now it seems as if the publisher is backtracking a bit to quell this particular fire. They've told the New York Times the exclusivity is not quite as exclusive as they first claimed. Read More -
Wonder Woman Gets Brand New Origin Story At DC (Spoilers)
Great Hera!
The spoilers won't come until after the jump but you're probably going to have a tough time steering clear of this one. Why? The big reveal doesn't happen in Wonder Woman #2, out October 19th, it comes a whole month later in Wonder Woman #3, being released November 16th. Today, the DC Source Blog and the NY Post revealed that in Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang's relaunched Wonder Woman title, the most famous Amazon would be receiving a new origin story. Read More -

Jim Lee Says Justice League #1 Is "Setting Records" Digitally… but Won't Quote Actual Records
Consider the Following
It's also setting records digitally. I can't give numbers, but on the first day it set a record for us.
So sayeth Jim Lee, Co-Publisher of DC Comics and illustrator of Justice League #1, in an interview with Salon. Actual numbers would, indeed, be quite the jumping off point for a great deal of analysis, and could even say quite a lot about the future of digital distribution. Lets take a moment and look at all the ways having actual numbers on the reboot's sales might turn out: Could DC have sold more digital copies than hard copies of Justice League? Would we see digital numbers fall over time, as newer readers entranced by the reboot's publicity either lose interest or move to buying from comics stores just like everybody keeps hoping they will? Would we see digital numbers grow over time, as DCnU titles reach the one-month/dollar-cheaper mark? Read More -

Coronado Ready for 7-on-7 State Championships
POSTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 4:59pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 5:33pm
Tuesday, June 29: Chapin Head Coach Rene Hernadez called them good, but the Coronado T-Birds can't wait to show how good they are on July 8 in College Station. Coronado advanced to their first ever Fox Sports Southwest 7-on-7 State Championships by winning the inaugural Chapin 7-on-7 Tournament last month. Coronado will advance to the 128-team Tournament along with Montwood, Chapin and Franklin. It is Coronado's first time in the event, and this will be the first time El Paso as a city will send four teams. Raziel Velgis, a Coronado Senior Safety/Defensive Back, can't wait to see the competition, and get a good feel for what he will be going up against this fall and possibly the future. "I feel good because my dream is to go play at a Division 1 school, and those are D-1 athletes, a lot are D-1 prospects, and going up against them makes you see how much more work you need to put into it. Where you need to get to, and everything you need to do to become a D-1 prospect."

Fan Art
We're always inspired by the talent of ESO fan artists. Take a look at some recent works, and don't forget to visit our official ESO Tumblr page for more!
Christmas in ESO – Art by Erik "EL.058" Lovell, characters by Erik Lovell (Shir-Ava) and Asra (Asra Karimi) on TESO-RP
Jakhan, Bambala, and Malishan – By Growlybeast on Tumblr
Siluen – By Siluen on TESO-RP
Fan Fiction
Journey to Tamriel through the eyes of your fellow ESO fans.
An Invitation – By Astrid on TESO-RP
There was something about riding on frosty Skyrim roads. The nearly forgotten ones, the kind that spread through the country like tree branches. The main roads might be safer, but not better than these provincial roads, the secret paths through forests and mountain valleys. One could be lost in meditation riding these roads and despite riding almost the whole night, the Nord woman seemed quite comfortable. Her eyes were still full of energy and scanning the horizon, looking for first rays of the rising sun. Even in the darkness of night, her eyes reflected the moons and showed themselves to be pale blue, the color of a fresh spring if it were to freeze over. The tip of her nose was pink from the cold, but the rest of her was warm, wrapped in fur over sturdy leather. One could only imagine what was beneath the outer layers, but woman was slim and perhaps underweight. Gwen, the white mare she rode on seemed to thank her for it.
[Daniyah] Holiday Series - Baranth Do – By Dyna on TESO-RP
Even in the darkest nights, there was always the promise of a new day dawning.
Daniyah's face was a swathe of lurid reds and purples, accented by stark white lines - a grotesque yet elegant exaggeration of human features made to look twisted and demonic. The natural droop and mottling of her burn scars was exaggerated by the face paint, and in the fire's dancing brilliance, she cavorted alongside other dancers, motions graceful from long years of combat drills.
Foefire – By Thorfinn on TESOF
Alone in a wide stone chamber high in the towers of the College of Winterhold, Thorfinn ran his thumb along the near ten inch tang of his longsword. Under his callused touch, simple patterns, lines and indentations could be felt. The elf's cursory examination of his swords hand not yielded a comment on these ancient runes, and Thorfinn did not feel the need to share their presence with Utharo.
Thorfinn did not know what these letters said, nor even from which tongue they hailed. He did not know why they were placed on the tang, an area which would be covered with the sword's grip. Something, perhaps, for only the owner and the maker to know, long dead as they were.
Winter's Eve – By Baldar the Loyal on TESOF
It was but 9 days until Winter's Eve and Benjamin Aldar was heading down to the Westminster Pub. On the way he met his friend Thomas De Ecca, a fellow scholar at the Tesoffian University. Benjamin quickly offered his friend De Ecca to join him for a drink at the Westminster and De Ecca happily agreed.
Just when they rounded the corner of 5th Street and Bayle they ran into Lady Adrianne Ashveil, followed by a couple of Guards. Young Lady Ashveil came from the rich and well known Ashveil Family who frequently donated to the very same University that De Ecca and Aldar worked at. They had met her a few times and for a noblewoman she was quite modest and down to earth. She was also very involved in the Animal Rights Foundation. Benjamin and Thomas quickly removed their hats from their heads and bowed before her ladyship. Her ladyship simply waved their silly greetings off and asked them where they were going this cold winter night.

Question of the Week Answers
We've gathered up some of your answers to last week's Developer Question of the Week. Watch the video to see the full question, and look for a new Developer Question of the Week this Thursday.
- "I'm looking forward to grouping up with my two brothers and other friends to pick off stragglers and ambush people." – Evan Miketon
- "I dream of seeing the White-Gold Tower." – Emma Andersen
- "All of the above! ESO will be my new home for a long while, I hope." – Debbie Morgan
- "All of the things you mentioned, plus looking forward to finding anything that is a resource in the PvP area for crafting gear and other things (if you plan to put crafting resources into Cyrodiil). Also looking forward to finding the lore book that was mentioned in a recent Q&A at the Elitist Jerks forum—I'm a bit of a lore junkie." – Warren Fertig
- "I look forward to crawling through a dungeon that I recognize from Oblivion with my friends and finding some gear that makes me strong enough to siege a keep. Then, I'll be doing something else: cooking sweetrolls while waiting for the enemy to attack! In short, everything." – Asger Lakkenborg Christiansen
- "Looking forward to all aspects of Cyrodiil. Mainly, I plan on exploring and dungeon/mat farming after my guildies and I get good at taking/defending keeps. I'd love to get to explore all the ruins and dungeons, not knowing when or if an enemy will show up to try and gank us!" – Ricky Spanish
- "I'm looking forward to the possible RP interactions that can take place between alliances and even guilds. With Cyrodiil being the center of all of the conflict, many guilds will be vying for the sieges and the throne itself. Witnessing these conflicts firsthand and having some involvement in them will be thrilling!" – James Willet

Many teachers and students are interested in robotics. They work or would like to work with different kind of robots. This project will allow them to share their ideas with people from other European countries. Our pupils are often very keen on building and programming robots and through these activities they can explore other subjects like electronics, physics, mathematics… By communicating with other partners, students will also improve their skills in foreign languages and in ICT.
I am happy to inform you that our headmaster allowed to arrange a Comenius preparation Visit.
I invite you to travel to Berlin: The meeting will start Monday the 4th of October and will end Wednesday the 6th of October. Please contact your national agency for application.
See you in Berlin
We started to inform you by little videos about the biological basics of animal-communication.
Our project aim is to simulate these communication beetween animals by nxt-robots.
For us it was very important, that the pupils could choose their own subjects in cooperation with Biologie.
Hello, there is a dancing video from Germany: But no high-tech robo-dancing, but an idea to connect Europe with dancing and Robotics. My Idea is always to connect branches and to put emotions into a project, because learning is in my opinion an integrated act. We have some project-days at our school. So you can see the result of one project we finishes already
What a nice surprice! I was happy to see the robotic- work of Malta! I hope that there will be a decision to join to the project, especially to the coming Comenius Part.
Welcome to the Maltese worksheet! I especially like the extra chalange part.
I'm now waiting for the video of dancing robot.
I have to inform the rest of Europe that the name of our school will be changed in Integrated Secondary School in der Jaczostraße (ISS Jaczostraße) because of association with another school in the same campus.
Internal differentiation of learner groups, individualisation of learning, diversity of methods are the new topics in this new school. It will be my reincarnation as a teacher!
Berlin is ready for its international guests in October subject to the permission of the headmasters of our school
Now I found time to complete my worksheets and the corresponding Lab-view-files in the staff corner.
Next week I will try out the teaching material from the Lycée Pilote Innovant International in Poitiers.
By the way: I find it very interesting to compare teaching materials and teaching methods.
