Because the world is awesome, when Conan O'Brien said that he'd like Tilda Swinton to play him in his inevitable TV movie, Tilda responded by saying, "I would just be only too happy. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely!" [NYMag.com]
Not only would that be the most amazing movie to ever be made, but it got us scheming about all the amazing possibilities there are for cross-gender casting. Think Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan. Just think about how much more challenging a role would be with the additional task of mastering the physicality, voice, and mannerisms of a member of the opposite sex. Get ready for some celebrity cross-gender mash-ups.

Tai-otoshi is making Uke off balance in a right forward position (or left forward position). Then, Tori spins his body to the left (or right) by stretching his right leg (or left) in front of Uke's right (or left) foot. Tori, then, pulls down Uke's body forward over his stretched leg for a throw.
Tori & Uke hold each other in a natural right-handed posture. As Tori steps back, he pulls Uke forward and stops by pressing down on Uke's body. Uke tries to stop with his right foot, but since his body is off balance in a forward position, he will try to pull his right foot back to his normal posture. At this moment, Tori will lower the pressure in both hands and push Uke with his left hand. Uke reacts by bringing his right foot back and tries to return his body to a straight position. At the moment when Uke's right foot steps back slightly more than his left foot, Tori steps his right foot in between Uke's legs. Tori, then, pulls his left foot and twists his body half way to the left, while he pulls the left hand in a upward motion and pushes up with his right hand. Since Uke cannot shift his weight on his right foot, he ends up on his tiptoe in a floating position. Tori spins his body by stepping his left foot further back, then, lowers his body and stretches his right leg in front of Uke's right ankle in a cross position. At this time, Tori should open both legs widely and bend his left knee with the right leg stretched to lock into the throwing position (picture 1). |
(picture 1) |
Tori lifts up Uke with right hand and pulls down his left hand, and concentrates all his power into his hands, hip and legs to execute the throw, down forward. Uke falls in a big circular motion with his right toe as the point of rotation . This Tai-otoshi is the most commonly used. |
Techniques of practical applications
(picture 2) (picture 3) |
Tori grabs Uke's right collar with his right hand with four (or five) fingers placed inside, and the left hand grabs Uke's right sleeve (or right collar below the right hand). |
(picture 4) |
Tori is in left handed position and Uke is in right handed position. Tori grips Uke's collar in the back with his left hand (Uke's right hand grips Tori's left front collar). Tori grips the edge of Uke's right sleeve (Uke's left hand is free) and pulls downward with both hands to bend Uke's body forward.
Resisting this position, Uke steps left foot forward as he pushes Tori's left wrist to straightened up to return to the original posture. |
(picture 5) |
Techniques of practical applications
Tori & Uke hold each other in normal position. Uke tries to grip Tori's left sleeve with both hands to push away. At this point, Tori grabs the inside of Uke's left sleeve with his left hand. Tori's right hand grabs Uke's right sleeve by reaching under his left arm. As Tori pulls both of his hands, he crosses Uke's arm for control. Tori, then, twists his body to the left and places his right foot in front Uke, and pulls down to throw (picture 6). |

December 2012 Issue of Linux Journal: Readers' Choice
Data, Data Everywhere
When I was younger, I read a lot of books. Although they've fallen out of style, some of my favorite books were of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" variety. The only downside is that three or four nested page-turning decisions into the book, I'd run out of fingers to hold my place. See, I didn't want to commit to the wrong choice. (I may have missed the point of those books.) Based on feedback from last year, I suspect most of you read "Choose Your Own Adventure" books in the same way. After last year's Readers' Choice issue, you wanted more data! This year, we obliged and are are giving you the full results, down to tenths of percentage points. (Those writing in for more precise numbers will get such a pinch!)
Normally with the Readers' Choice issue, I feign laziness and claim that readers have done all the heavy lifting. This issue, however, is chock full of interesting articles. Reuven M. Lerner starts off with his annual book roundup. I always struggle with which books are worth my time, and Reuven aims to help with that problem. Dave Taylor, on the other hand, gives a lesson in stdin, stdout and stderr. If you've ever been confused about adding 2>&1
to the end of your cron jobs, Dave will enlighten you.
Kyle Rankin takes us to the depths of system administration with his real-life data-center problems (his own data center). There's no way to learn Linux administration quite like doing it, so follow along with Kyle and his escapades, and be sure to take notes. I follow Kyle with my Open-Source Classroom column and reach for the opposite end of the server spectrum: the Raspberry Pi. Although the RPi can do countless cool things, when it first arrives in its tiny little box, it can be a bit overwhelming. I do my best to make your first taste of Pi a little sweeter and show you some cool things along the way. If you bought a Raspberry Pi, but don't know where to begin, I can hook you up.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I whine rather regularly about wanting a Nexus 7 tablet. Although the gift-giving fairies at Google apparently don't subscribe to my tweets, Philip Raymond helps a little this month with his review of the Nexus. The downside is that now I want a Nexus 7 even more, and since Google recently has released an updated model with cellular options, I'm hoping Santa Claus reads my tweets!
Speaking of Google, if you're a faithful fan of its products, yet feel abandoned by the lack of a native Google Drive application, Mehdi Poustchi Amin might soothe those wounds with his introduction to Grive. Grive is an open-source implementation of Google Drive, and it aims to bring Google's latest feature to the penguiny masses. Google still promises that a Linux native client is in the works, but Grive is open source, and it's available now.
Although it's a bit of a spoiler, the GIMP has won favorite Graphics/Design Tool in our Readers' Choice survey once again. That's not likely a surprise to anyone who ever has edited a photo in Linux, but in light of our readers' votes year after year, we've included Shashwat Pant's introduction to GIMP 2.8. This trusty editor is sporting a brand-new UI this season, and looking at its current iteration, a victory for the GIMP in next year's Readers' Choice is looking like a big likelihood as well.
The main feature of this issue is the Readers' Choice results. If you wonder where you line up with the bulk of our readers, or if you're just curious about what companies are currently the most Linux-friendly, you're reading the right issue. We also have product reviews, product announcements and many other helpful, geeky things to make this issue useful and entertaining. To begin your adventure, turn to page 10 now. To reread this article, turn to page 8. To start your adventure anew, turn to page 1....

s there a way I can tell my people about this post.
Reader's Choice Awards seem Skewed
Looking over the Reader's Choice voting, they seem sincerely offset from the past norms this year.
In the past, Irssi was always voted the number one IRC client. For due reason, it's a text chat messenger, why use GUI when all it does is add overhead? Now, it seems Irssi is at the bottom while graphical frontends are number one. This scenario seems similar across the board. The Seamonkey Browser is faster and far more stable then cpu/memory hungry Firefox. OOWriter over Abiword? Abiword is, again, far faster and quicker, and more stable then OOWriter. Abiword is also much lighter on system resources and takes a whole lot less to compile. I've never used VLC, as configuration was a nightmare or had compile time issues, mplayer was always much more reliable. And yet, somehow VLC is number in all two or three categories?
I think what we are seeing here is, "What the majority of users are using or are fed, vs. what actually works." In other words, the majority of users of computers are simply voting for what they are fed by their administrator or distribution manager. It's also possible, the Readers' Choice voting was somehow more targeted towards users versus developers. Another aspect, it's quite natural or common to see users out-number the number of developers by a far margin. As Linux gets more popular, the margin of developers to users is increased.
What further confirms this is, the best stated database or backup tool seem quite accurate. It might be a good idea to also post the number of votes for programming languages vs. just applications, or perform comparisons here to provide a better aspect as to the truly best program versus based on popularity.
Wha?? Best IDE is Eclipse? Again, could never get Eclipse working here with simple C, as it's focus is Java. VIM, Geany, Anjuta, KDevelop seems far more reliable. Oh, and Emacs. ;-)
No surprise to see Google Web and Apps, Amazon.com and Dell rising within the ranks.
I would also like to see some voting on Best Books. Although Amazon.com does quite well, might provide a different aspect. Of course, OReilly is awesome with publishing in all formats.
Just compiled FireFox here on
Just compiled FireFox here on Gentoo 64-bit, and see Firefox is now using much less system resources then Mozilla Seamonkey. Going from memory, this is much better then what I noticed six plus months ago? But then again, it would be expected as Firefox is browser only, containing no web page composer, no email frontend, etc... But since my computer is now a 8x3.5Ghz w/ 32GB RAM, think I'll probably stick with Seamonkey, as I need a web composer when I'm too lazy to use VI/VIM. Also, I see it's lacking some of the default tools Seamonkey has such as "Translate (Page)" and Password manager. However, I would expect there are also obvious plugins for Firefox as well -- but it's nice to see these programs "already installed".
Best Hardware for Linux
Now if they'd get one or two issues with content related to, Best Hardware for Linux.
Currently, us consumers have to muddle through tons of advertisements with some companys only stating they support Linux or get lazy supporting Linux.
Linux Journal used to build a yearly Ultimate Linux box.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

During a recent client move, Debbie Meyer and her team took tons of garbage to the dumpsters in a three-day process.
It was a job worth tens of thousands of dollars. Meyer, owner of Chandler-based Moving You Simply LLC, only charged a fraction of that.
"I didn't want to turn someone away in a dire situation," Meyer said. "We came to an agreement and it turned out to be a significant discount."
Meyer has a business to run, so why did she do it?
"It made me feel good to go home at night knowing that I'd helped a family," she said.
Meyer became an entrepreneur in 2007, at age 50, when on the advice of her family she opened her company, which specializes in properly packing, moving and organizing seniors, families, corporations and offices in Arizona and beyond.
"It's kind of a natural knack I have to understand space and floor plans," Meyer said. "Sometimes I don't even have to measure, I can tell if it's going to fit or not."
And with 20 years of experience as an organizer at several places, including Hewlett Packard and Nextel Communications, she knew what she was getting herself into.
"That's a huge differentiator between a lot of people that dive into something without knowing too much about it, and those folks will have a harder time unless they get smart in a hurry," said Gary Naumann, director of the Spirit of Enterprise Center at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business.
Meyer said she started by following every lead, educating the community about her services and integrating herself in the community of seniors.
Even average-size jobs reflect the personality of the company.
"The move was very professional," said Hardy Good, whose mother was moved from her townhouse in Phoenix to the a retirement living center. "They were careful, conscientious, and did lot of things my mother would have had to do herself but they did it for her."
Depending on the size of the job, Meyer will have three or more movers on her team.
"I'm in the trenches, from sorting to downsizing and packing," Meyer said. "And I take pictures of drawers so everything goes back the same way."
While sometimes she might not make the best profit, Meyer said she always makes sure her people get paid.
Rick Murray, CEO of Arizona Small Business Association, said making concessions is the norm. To Murray, navigating this economy cannot be done by going with the status quo.
"The biggest challenge, at this time, is helping small businesses figure out there are ways to be profitable in this new economy but it just takes time and patience," Murray said.
In the last three years, ASBA has seen an increase in the amount of members from 4,000 in 2009 to a little over 11,000 in 2012, while boasting an 86 percent retention rate.
But with most small businesses failing because they run out of cash, Naumann, who also teaches entrepreneurship at the ASU graduate level, said if you don't have the confidence or experience, it's going to be hard to take all those hits that small-business owners take on a daily basis. Among other tips, Naumann suggests startups conduct a self-assessment to analyze strengths, and hire to accommodate where needed. He also suggests would-be entrepreneurs identify opportunities by evaluating how big the market for this particular business or product is, among other ideas.
Meyer keeps her overhead low withing Moving You Simply because its a home-based and she and her crew do their promotion at networking lunches.
"Even though I come from a family of entrepreneurs," Meyer said, "I was always shy and I had to learn to come out of my cocoon, believe in my business, and above all, myself."
And while Meyer believes in her mission, according to Naumann and his outlook on small businesses, there is a lot of heavy lifting ahead.
"I do feel things are starting to turn, though that doesn't mean we're out of the woods," Naumann said. "But the heavy lifting is coming at a time when we're asking ourselves how we make things better instead of just spiraling down. So we still need tremendous emphasis and support on entrepreneurship at all levels."
Since 2007, Moving You Simply has had almost 500 assignments, and its income has grown every year.
"Some years where we had less jobs we had bigger projects, so that balanced the difference in income," Meyer said. "I'm not the highest (as far as fees), but I'm not the lowest either."
Meyer said if the team is on a job and hits the agreed time before the job is finished, they will go off the clock because they don't want to walk away from the job or rush the client. So her biggest company expense is giving away hours.
"Maybe I could have made more money by not giving away hours, but I'm not going to start charging for every email, phone call, or additional time spent because of bad family dynamics," Meyer said.
She said the toughest part of the job is really that she never knows what's behind the door.

The UN Development Group (UNDG) unites the 32 UN funds, programmes, agencies, departments, and offices that play a role in development. The group's common objective is to deliver more coherent, effective and efficient support to countries seeking to attain internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals. Established by the Secretary-General in 1997, the UNDG designs system-wide guidance to coordinate, harmonize and align UN development activities. The group strengthens the UN development system at the country level, prepares it to meet future challenges and ensures that operations are conducted in accordance with mandates from UN governing bodies such as the General Assembly. By strengthening the UN Resident Coordinator system and helping UN organizations work together in new and better ways, the UNDG generates synergies and efficiencies that increase the impact of UN programmes and policy advice. Coordinating development operations promotes more strategic support for national plans and priorities, makes operations more efficient and reduces transaction costs for governments. This helps the UN to be a more relevant and reliable partner for governments. The UN Development Group in the UN system The UNDG Advisory Group provides the UNDG Chair with advice and guidance on managing the operational dimensions of the UNDG and the Resident Coordinator system. The Administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) chairs the UNDG. The UNDG Chair reports to the Secretary-General and the CEB on progress in implementing the group's work plan, and on the management of the Resident Coordinator system. The Administrator of one of the specialized agencies functions as a vice chairman on a rotational basis. The UN Development Operations Coordination Office (DOCO) is the technical support unit for the UNDG. DOCO provides the link between UNDG discussions at headquarters and the work of the UN development system at the country level, and helps the group prepare system-wide agreements, policies and guidelines for country offices. |
On 21 December 2012, the UN General Assembly adopted a landmark resolution (67/226) on the quadrennial comprehensive policy review (QCPR) of UN operational activities for development. The QCPR is the mechanism through which the General Assembly assesses the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and impact of UN operational activities for development and establishes system-wide policy orientations for the development cooperation and country-level modalities of the UN system. In response to the QCPR, the Secretary-General's Five-Year Action Agenda and the evolving international development and cooperation environment, the UNDG has agreed on a set of common Strategic Priorities for 2013-2016. The UNDG Strategic Priorities give direction to UNDG efforts at the global, regional and country level to facilitate a step change in the quality and impact of UN support at the country level. |

I came across this house when searching for some examples in a post on the Building forum. Built in 1928 in a Mediterranean style, on sale in Chicago for $900K. The listing has pictures of two bathrooms which look original. Beautiful. Don't care for the wallpaper, though. |
Follow-Up Postings:
These are grand! What do you suppose is going on with the toilet seat in the blue bathroom? Is that original or was it custom made recently? I can't imagine a seat lasting that long. |
Interesting! Thank you for posting them. |
- Posted by DreamingoftheUP 5 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 23:23
My guess is the toilet seat was a custom replacement to match the shape of the bowl. Toilet and pedestal sink match in form. |
This post was edited by DreamingoftheUP on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 23:26
Wow. Just wow. It's always so nice to see original work in a home this old. Even if the style isn't quite what I'd like, I love people who respect the house! My 1925 bathroom wasn't nearly that fancy! Always ;-) |

Harry Reid has just released his manager's amendment to the Senate Health bill, and they've apparently bought off Emperor Ben Nelson by allowing individual states to ban any/all abortion coverage in the new insurance exchanges.
[Update via David Dayen: Stupak working with Republicans to defeat Nelson anti-abortion amendment as not restrictive enough. David Dayen as more at News Desk]
From the New York Times:
Mr. Reid's amendment includes tighter restrictions on insurance coverage for abortions sought by Mr. Nelson. Health insurance plans would not be required or forbidden to cover abortions, but states could prohibit the coverage of abortions by plans that are offered for sale through new government-regulated marketplaces.
The amendment also includes a special extension solely for Nebraska: increased federal contributions to the cost of an expansion
The previous language about segregating private vs public funds within the exchanges is reportedly tougher on women. We're still reading the details, but from what we've seen, this is the general framework:
So . . .
1. The Feds will require you to purchase insurance
2. Feds say this is fair because we've got these nifty exchanges that will magically transform the currently concentrated insurance markets and make them competitive, affordable [not possible].
3. Only these exchange plans will have any significant federal enforcement for even the weak insurance regulations and price oversight.
4. States may ban abortions for all plans in the exchange, so women are not only stripped of current rights but left completely unprotected.
My first reaction is that this vastly exceeds even the hideous Hyde prohibitions and can't possibly be Constitutional, except in today's Court. That means that if Emperor Nelson's decrees are challenged, that case could become another vehicle for repealing Roe v Wade.
Now there's change you can believe in. The Democrats just lost the moral right to ask for the votes of anyone who believes in women's rights and equal treatment before the law.
It's a suicide pact.
Oh, and Emperor Nelson reportedly (h/t TPM) demanded that his deal not be changed in Conference, which means he's asked that the House of Representative be effectively abolished.
"Without in any way intending to be threatening–to be more in the more of promising–let me be clear, this cloture vote is based on full understanding that there will be a limited conference between the Senate and the House," Nelson said. "If there are material changes in that conference report, different from this bill, that adversely affect the agreement, I reserve the right to vote against the next cloture vote–let me repeat it–I reserve the right to vote against the next cloture vote if there are material changes to this agreement in the conference report. And I will vote against it if that is the case.
All Hail, Emperor Nelson.

A nice, peaceful 9-hole course where there never is any waiting. The only thing that keeps it from a 5-star course is its sometimes infrequent mowing and the need for a decent lather of bug spray to contend with the insects. For being as rural as it is, though, it's awesome. Good challenges; and though there isn't much in the way of water hazards per-se, there are a good deal of other hazards that can and will eat the occasional stray disc. A must try, especially early and late in the year!

Location, Climate
Warsaw is the largest and capital city of Poland. It is situated along the Vistula River and near the Baltic Sea and Carpathian Mountains. The climate in Warsaw can be extreme meaning that summers can get exhaustingly hot and winters can get brutally cold. The best time to go here is during spring and autumn.
We hope the weather will be fine when you are staying at Warsaw hotels.
Brief History
The German Nazis invaded Warsaw in 1939 and this city was able to survive numerous wars including the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Warsaw Uprising during the 1940s. Despite the severe damage caused by World War II, Warsaw was able to rebuild itself thus earning the nickname "phoenix city" because it rose up again from the ashes.
Events, Landmarks, Activities
Warsaw is famous for hosting various events and festivals but the most popular are the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days which takes place in July, Warsaw Autumn Festival which gathers some of the world's best musicians during September and Warsaw Film Festival which gets star-studded every October. The best place to start sightseeing in Warsaw is at the Inner City where you can find many attractions including The Royal Castle, the Parliament, Palace of Culture and Science, St. John's Archcathedral, Nozyk Synagogue and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Another popular site is the Old Town Market Square which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
You can see these landmarks by booking Warsaw hotel deals. Other popular cities that you should visit during your Poland trip are Krakow, Wroclaw, Poznan and Lodz.
The best way to explore Warsaw is by metro which is faster and cheaper. Other options include the trams and buses which are very accessible and have many lines and routes. Taxis can charge extra so that is not a good idea. Find cheap hotels in Warsaw nearby public transportation.

White House Supports Cell Phone Jailbreak
The Obama administration wants users to be free to unlock their phones without risk of prosecution.
In October of last year, the US Librarian of Congress rescinded an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that allowed consumers to circumvent the security of their own mobile phones for purposes of switching service providers or altering the onboard software. This subtle bureaucratic procedure, which happened without much debate and without a vote from any elected body, made it impossible for mobile phone users to jailbreak their own phones without facing possible criminal penalties.
As expected, an outcry ensued among the FOSS and open platform communities, leading to a online petition filed the White House "We the People" initiative that garnered 114,000 signatures.
In an official response to the petition, the Obama administration has take a strong position against prohibiting user from unlocking their phones. According to R. David Edelman (writing for the administration), "...if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network....This is particularly important for secondhand or other mobile devices that you might buy or receive as a gift, and you want to activate on the wireless network that meets you needs..."
The response references a more detailed document by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which challenges the argument made by mobile industry lobbyists that software interoperability compromises security and increases piracy. According to the NTIA, "...these assertions strike a similar chord to those raised in the 2010 proceeding, when Apple was concerned with its reputation and further believed that jailbreaking would 'breach the integrity of the iPhone's ecosystem.' A few years later, the record now shows that the iPhone has enjoyed tremendous popularity and continues to be one of the most popular mobile devices among users today. Second, the exemption also has not prevented other manufacturers from introducing new devices fostering innovation and competition. Consumers in today's mobile market enjoy a vast array of choices both as to devices and services. Therefore, at this juncture, the detrimental effects the opponents allege are speculative in nature."
It is easy to understand why mobile service providers and vendors would favor keeping consumers locked in to the original platform. The fact that the administration is willing to stand up to the lobby can only indicate one of the following:
- they truly believe it is the will of the people
- they truly believe it is the right thing to do
But before you bust the back off your phone, better pause for an obscure US Civics lesson. Unlike almost all government offices, the Library of Congress, which has the authority to reinstate the exemption for mobile phone jailbreaking, does not answer to the president but is an independent agency theoretically under the control of the legislative branch. Thus, the president cannot directly order the Librarian of Congress to re-establish the exemption. The best we can hope is that the petition and the ensuing conversation will shed some light on this problem and force Congress to stand accountable for denying users' access to their own property.

The Daily SuperHero has put my own theories online about this and while the easy answer would be to say that Magneto helps Logan reacquire his metal claws, I've resisted that explanation because it's just too simple. And quite honestly kind of lame. But it seems like a simple answer might be the actual answer.
Potentially taking the easy way out of explaining this mystery, director Bryan Singer spoke with Empire Magazine (via Screen Rant) about the adamantium claws.
"Director Bryan Singer explains that Magneto's ability to manipulate metal might have something to do with it. The Master Of Magnetism could, perhaps, 'reconstitute the adamantium claws… [Wolverine] has a different relationship with Magneto, and perhaps Magneto could forge them.'"
So there you have it. I was wrong (maybe) and it seems like the easiest explanation could be the correct one.

text: Jamrock is definitely one of those post moombahton kids in the UK that I've been steady keeping an eye on. Nine times out of 10, whatever tempo or tropical riddim he wants to mess with, the end result is on some top-shelf sounds. Dude has messed with all kinds of R&B, funk, soul, dancehall, etc. vibes, and it's always tasty and almost always on a super chill tip. This new one from him, "Ho Safari," is still on a more laidback, zouk bass tip but this feels like some potential tropical strip club-type anthem. The lead synths and adlibs have a bit of heady, paranoid appeal and the percussion shuffle is super on point. And that breathy male vocal sample speaks immensely to the hedonistic nature of the tune and is basically the ultimate cherry on the top. Of course, all of the this being brought to you exclusively from DAD.

The Light and How to Swing It: Being the main tank {WoW}
Mar 16th 2012 3:33PM It kinda boggles me when people ask who the 'main tank' is on two-tank fights. If we're swapping on the boss, noone is main tank. If one of us is tanking the boss and the other is tanking adds, then we have a boss tank and an add tank. If it's a one tank fight, it isn't so much that I'm the main tank as that I have a healing off spec and my co-tank has a dps offspec.
I also just totally decided I wanted to tank for our raid one day and started tanking. It did help that I'd seen all the fights that I was to tank first on my main, a healer. And I did do a fair amount of research, practiced in dungeons, watched videos etc. I'm still not as fast at pulling all Shannox's trash as my co-tank, or as good as him generally. But I'm good enough for us to have 7/8 10N DS as a casual guild that can't always field a full raid each week without pugging.

How to fix professions for Mists of Pandaria: An open letter to Blizzard {WoW}
Mar 14th 2012 1:05AM Enchanting: We still need all the same enchants at this stage of the expansion as we did at the beginning, but the supply of materials has dropped a TON since noone is doing dungeons for their JP/VP anymore but raiding. There are NO current Essences on the AH most of the time, and I'm not on a dying server either. I have current Crystals coming out my EARS (and hence Shards too, Shatter was a VERY welcome change when it hit). There aren't even any reasonably cheap-to-craft green-quality weapons that I can find, to try to get Essences from.
I also felt kinda useless in that I had access to the materials for the best enchants and tailoring patterns, and had the professions maxed on my main, but my raid never saw any of the patterns drop.

Date 2008-04-09 Availability unrestricted Abstract Music education in Buganda, and indeed Uganda as a whole, must re-define its role and nature by essentially changing its structure and character. Currently it is not adequate and relevant enough to cater for the real needs of the learners. This document entails the research undertaken to evaluate music education in elementary schools in Buganda, its historical developments, current status and a possible way forward. In ascertaining and gathering data for this empirical study, ethnographic as well as phenomenological methods were employed. Evidence was collected through literature search, recent publications, questionnaires, interviews, personal experiences and observations.
Music at primary level of education in Uganda is categorised under the syllabus of Performing Arts and Physical Education (PAPE). This has become extremely problematic when classroom teachers and specialist teachers are required to implement the music component of PAPE. With the above in mind, a research question was formulated on the basis that a perceived problem existed in the dispensation and delivery of music education in schools in Buganda.
The study evaluates the existing government policies on primary education that include the Education Strategic Investment Plan (ESIP), Universal Primary Education, Uganda Primary School Curriculum (UPSC), Uganda Syllabus of Primary Education (USPE), Education Policy Review Commission (EPRC), Education Statistical Abstract (ESA), and Complimentary Opportunity for Primary Education (COPE). In addition, the study analyses the education structure as well as the PAPE syllabus in relation to learners' own music outside the prescribed school curriculum, teacher training programs and the available resources. Finally a comparative analysis of music and the arts education of various countries and the African perspectives was carried out.
Findings reveal that the mission of the MoES through the ESIP is to support, guide, co-ordinate, regulate and promote quality education and sports for national integration, individual and national development. It further indicates that UPE was adopted to address the principle of equity as regards the education access amongst households, without exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor. The study acknowledges that even though some educators have high qualifications, generally music is perceived as an area in which teachers have a low level of teaching efficacy as a result of inadequate training, lack of music resources and the irrelevance of the music content. The learners' response to music as a classroom subject is influenced by their own music outside the school.
The results presented in this research offer crucial insights for music education, its future role, nature and character. It is evident that among others, the insufficient funding, limited content knowledge and lack of resources remain key factors that inhibit the development of music education in Buganda. The study culminates into recommendations that offer direction and vision for music education. The recommendations set out in this research should enable the music education discipline to survive and transform itself into an autonomous key player in the education dispensation.

Monday, February 23, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Linguist group lists its top words of '03 By Marney Rich Keenan
These are among the top words of 2003, so named by the American Dialect Society at its annual conference in Boston recently. To translate: "metrosexual" the winner of "the word or phrase which most colored the nation's language" is a fashion-conscious heterosexual male, preoccupied with money, clothes and style, and "manscaping" is male body-shaving. "Flexitarian," winner in the most useful category, is a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat; and "tofurkey" is a faux turkey created from tofu. Every year boasts its own vocabulary, says Dennis Preston, a Michigan State University linguist and past president of the dialect society. And while the words in the list aren't necessarily new (such as "spider hole," Saddam's camouflaged hideout, a term that goes back to World War II), they possess a new importance because of their cultural relevance. "We are a group of serious lexicons," says Preston of the society. "Once a year, we decide to have a little fun and compile this list in a tongue-in-cheek fashion." Nonetheless, the list reflects what we are thinking about as a culture. "They define what we love in any given year," Preston says, "what we hate, what we believe and what we choose not to believe." Gay culture had a prominent impact on our verbiage last year. TV's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" spawned "zhuzh," which means to fluff up or primp. Hip-hop brought us the suffix "izzle" as in "televizzle" and "wait a minizzle." "Bling bling," as in flashy jewelry, has been clipped to "bling." While 2002's winner was "weapons of mass destruction," 2003 brought us "weapons of mass deception," an entry Preston says he specifically voted for because it reflected a desire to lessen the nation's collective anxiety. Just how many of these terms have the staying power to make it into U.S. dictionaries in the future is not known; the jury is still out on previous years' words, such as "chad," "blog" and "Iraqnophobia." But, despite the cringing of grammar purists, our love affair with slang lives on. "Slang persists precisely because we resist the admonishments of the English teacher," Preston says. "It's the way we like to talk with our friends."

I would rebuy this product if it was cheaper. I got the version where they had the combo mascara and remover.
It was great for my Asian eyelashes, it made them super long, almost giving that false lashes look. The issue is that it had no volume, so even though they were long, they weren't thick. So I would have to use it with a volumising mascara along with it, I had to curl my lashes beforehand, it really keeps the curl.
My second issue with this mascara is that it was almost impossible to remove without the remover. Its a plus and a negative, making it super waterproof and budgeproof but at the end of the day it would take me an extra time just to remove my mascara. But I have to admit the remover is absolutely magical.
So yes, I would only recommend this product if you bought the remover with it, but other than that if you want length only than go for it.
It's my first time to try this brand and I must say I'm pretty satisfied with this product. It does help in separating my lashes and makes it very long. Nice formula, does not smear and dries quickly.
Mascara and I have a very casual relationship. I always get seduced by its cute packaging and convincing label, we go out a couple times and have an amazing time and, sooner or later, it totally screws me over and I'm left looking like a fool with clumpy lashes and raccoon eyes thinking, "where did it all go wrong?!".
This is why I don't use mascara all that often. It always looks so unnatural and tacky on me. Not so with Long and Curl!
I have Asian lashes that can hold an amazing curl for all of five minutes, after which they magically revert to their stick-straight, natural form. Long and Curl can give me this almost insane curl. I have pretty big eyes to begin with, so Long and Curl gives me ridiculously amazing eyes that pop. I can skip eyeliner with this on, it's that good.
I only need two coats of this and I'll be set for the day. You need to apply them quickly, though. The mascara sets pretty fast. It's also really natural looking. I have never had clumpy lashes using this. Save for the ridiculous curling action, this mascara looks pretty natural.
One lippie off for being incredibly difficult to take off. (Although, if you look at it more positively, this mascara is incredibly long-lasting and doesn't budge).

This is the best mascara i've used so far. I've used many high end mascaras (Lancome, Smashbox etc) and nothing is better than this one! It doesn't make your lashes look too dramatic, they look long and natural! I put 2 coats and it everyone asks me what mascara i use!
Not available in Canada, will need to purchase online.
Awesome product! I've been searching and searching for a mascara that I'll actually buy again and this is it!
Doesn't smudge
Doesn't clump
Doesn't run
After curling lashes and applying it STAYS
Able to see the effect v.well
Comes off easily
Just a tad expensive
Doesn't add volume, need to use primer. There's the volume version though so no worries.
Overall great product definitely will buy again. Gonna stock up when there's discount.
Edit: my awesome friend gave me a tip regarding this mascara so I thought I should share it with everyone. Curl your lashes BeFore you apply this and the curl really stays true for least 12 hours (longest I've tried). I've tried curling it after but the effect isn't as nice.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Super natural, yet really make my lash noticeable.
It does not clump. It is the most water resistant product I've ever come across.
The only downside is you will need its mascara remover to remove the mascara completely. Other remover that works with this mascara is Dermalogica precleanse.

This changed my mind about mascaras.
I was never the mascara user because i had short and sparse lashes that needless to say, were also straight. I used natural-looking false eyelashes instead.
After trying this once, just once- i never looked back. This mascara 1) holds the curl all day, 2) really lengthens your lashes to its full potential without clumps, 3) Waterproof and 4) INEXPENSIVE. Compared to the high end mascaras i've used (eg. Lancome dolly eyes), this works so much better for me.. At first the fibers from the mascara may bother you a little because it feels a little weird, but i love the formula, especially after a few more uses when the mascara dries up a little; perfect consistency for my lashes. I love that it never ever fails me, even if i try other brands, i always go back to this, my go-to mascara always.
P/S: the hoarder in me always has a backup of this.
I am asian with typical asian eyes and lashes.
So i have tried a lot of the non asian brands mascara such as clinique, chanel, maybelline.
But this mascara just made my lashes longer, fuller and not cloggy, which all the other ones just didnt do for me.
Use: the mascara wand is slightly curved with thin narrow bristles and reaches all my lashes easily without me having to hold my arms in different directions. The texture is a little bit thicker but smoothes out easily and I use it in combination with the Panasonic EH2385 eyelash curler.
Which makes my lashes look naturally long and full. Downside is that it`s not as waterproof as i would like, so will smudge a bit after wearing it for a whole day. Also not sure if it comes in other colours beside black.
Package: the outside is a dark maroon colour with gold letters, nothing fancy and a old fashion looking. But I am more of a quality than packaging person.
Price is very affordable if you buy it in Japan, not sure for how much it goes online.

-natural effect
-hold curls
- resonable price!
- smudge easily especially for oilly eye
- not dramatic enough, only suitable for those who want something natural
I think kiss me is generally good if you are finding sth that give your lash a natural enhancement
I love this mascara, it stays on forever without smudging, and most importantly to me it holds a curl like no other. I have a sort of awkward situation where on one eye my lashes will curl fine, but on the other side they fall flat within an hour or so. My friend jokes that due to my mixed ethnicity I have one Asian eye and one European eye, lol. The cap is a little difficult to remove and you do need to let the product warm up a bit before you use it or it is a little thick. I usually hit it with my hair dryer or just let it ride in the waistband of my pants while I do the rest of my makeup and that works fine. You do need a fairly heavy duty remover to get this all off, Japanese mascaras are known for their staying power and this stuff means business. I have and will continue to rebuy it though. You can pick it up on Amazon for around $20USD with shipping, which is where I usually get it.
