Hey, Eddie, so it's OK for me to kick you in the balls if I say "it was only a joke" afterwards? And it's OK kick you in the balls again if I do it "in good humor" and say "I believe in tough love"?

Leader short stories continue with Varian Wrynn: Blood of Our Fathers {WoW}
Oct 14th 2011 11:15AM wow_ladies (LiveJournal community) had a discussion about this short story. This comment from sodzilla sums up my thoughts exactly:
"I would say it's extremely crappy. [..]
It's not just the purple prose, the random point of view shifts, or the fact that the writer has Anduin literally "cast the power word: Shield".
It's that the novel clearly takes place after the events of Wolfheart yet mostly ignores the character development in there.
It's that Benedictus holds a thinly veiled Twilight propaganda speech before the population of Stormwind and noone gets it.
It's that Varian and Anduin are both led into the city cemetery by Benedictus, and there attacked by assassins in broad daylight, and Varian nearly dies, and no one sees them, and no one realizes what Benedictus is up to.
It's that Jaina Proudmoore, ruler of one of the Alliance nations, has to smile and make nice with the minor Stormwind noble and son of a known traitor who touches her and breathes alcohol fumes on her and speculates on whether she fucks orcs or tauren in front of the court. Because Azeroth can't afford more pointless conflict. And that means a ruler has to take sexualized shit from a court flunky.
Don't read this story. Don't let anyone you like read this story. It's stupid, stupid, fucking stupid shit. "
Blizzard introduces tradable "Guardian Cub" companion pet, purchasable through the Blizzard Store {WoW}
Oct 10th 2011 6:05PM I'm not surprised.
When Blizzard announced that there would be an official gold-to-money (well, items-to-money) conversion in Diablo 3, it was only a matter of time before they implemented the same for WoW.
"We chose to go with the subscription-based model instead of that approach. We've taken the approach that we want players to feel like it's a level playing field once they're in WoW. Outside resources don't play into it -- no gold buying, etc. We take a hard line stance against it. What you get out of microtransactions is kind of the same thing and I think our player base would feel betrayed by it. I think that's something else you have to decide on up-front instead of implementing later.
--Rob Pardo, Blizzard's Senior Vice President of Game Design (2/20/2008)"

This blog is open to any who wish to comment on Australian society, the state of the environment or political shenanigans at Federal, State and Local Government level.
A candidate who? musing: Rumours are circulating that former Nats MP for Clarence Steve Cansdell was thinking about standing at the March 2015 NSW election – until the Nationals allegedly threatened him with looking into his false statutory declaration again. Surely not!
An it can only happen at a call centre musing: Imagine you're on your way to work around 5.45am and find your progress blocked by a very large tree which has fallen across the road. You phone the emergency number on your mobile and are put through to the main NSW State Emergency Service (SES) call centre. You ask for SES assistance in removing the tree from the road. The call centre informs you that the road you are on doesn't exist and that neither Tucabia nor Tyndale (both named districts which have been around since the 1800s) can be found on its computerised map. That's what happened to one Clarence Valley resident as he travelled along Bostock Road in December 2014. Luckily for him a local farmer passed by an hour later, went back to fetch his chainsaw and then removed enough of the tree to let cars pass. The driver has no idea if an SES crew ever turned up, but does know that a local crew did turn up for the next tree that came down. Bet whoever reported that second tree didn't contact the main call centre!
A January 2015 hot weather musing:
As commercial building airconditioning systems coped with operational overload, the media reported:Extreme hot weather in Perth has sent the internet into meltdown.
Thousands of iiNet customers across Australia have found themselves offline after the company shut down some of its systems at its Perth data centre because of record breaking-temperatures.
"Due to record breaking temperatures, iiNet Toolbox, Email and our corporate websites are unavailable. Apologies for any inconvenience caused," iiNet tweeted.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a form of brain damage that leads to a rapid decrease of movement and mental function.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; vCJD; CJD; Jacob-Creutzfeldt disease
CJD is caused by a protein called a prion. A prion causes normal proteins to fold abnormally. This affects other proteins' ability to function.
CJD is very rare. It occurs in about 1 out of every 1 million people.
There are several types of CJD. It can be grouped into sporadic, familial, or acquired types.
The classic types of CJD are:
Variant CJD is caused by eating infected meat. The infection that causes the disease in cows is believed to be the same one that causes vCJD in humans.
Varient CJD causes less than 1% of all CJD cases. It tends to affect younger people. Fewer than 200 people worldwide have had this disease. Almost all cases occurred in England and France.
CJD may be related to several other diseases caused by prions, including:
CJD is rarely confused with other types of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease) because the symptoms get worse much more quickly in CJD.
Early in the disease, a nervous system and mental examination will show memory problems and changes in other intellectual functions. Later in the disease, a motor system examination (an exam to test muscle reflexes, strength, coordination, and other physical functions) may show:
There is a loss of coordination and changes in the cerebellum, the area of the brain that controls coordination. An eye examination shows areas of blindness that the person may not notice.
Tests used to diagnose this condition may include:
The disease can only be confirmed with a brain biopsy or autopsy. Today, it is very rare for a brain biopsy to be done to look for this disease.
There is no known cure for this condition. Interleukins and other medications may help slow the disease. The person may need care early in the disease. Medications may be needed to control aggressive behaviors.
Providing a safe environment, controlling aggressive or agitated behavior, and meeting the person's needs may require monitoring and assistance in the home or in a care facility. Family counseling may help the family cope with the changes needed for home care.
Visiting nurses or aides, volunteer services, homemakers, adult protective services, and other community resources may help care for the person with CJD.
People with this condition may need help controlling unacceptable or dangerous behaviors. This involves rewarding positive behaviors and ignoring negative behaviors (when it is safe). They may also need help getting oriented to their surroundings.
Getting legal help with advance directives, powers of attorney , and other legal actions early in the disorder can make it easier to make ethical decisions about the CJD patient's care.
The outcome of CJD is very poor. People with sporadic CJD are unable to care for themselves within 6 months or less after symptoms begin.
The disorder is fatal in a short time, usually within 8 months. People who have variant CJD get worse more slowly, but the condition is still fatal. A few people survive for as long as 1 or 2 years. The cause of death is usually infection, heart failure, or respiratory failure.
The course of CJD is:
CJD is not a medical emergency. However, getting diagnosed and treated early may make the symptoms easier to control, give patients time to make advance directives and prepare for the end of life, and give families extra time to come to terms with the condition.
Medical equipment should be treated to remove the proteins that may cause the disease. People who have a history of CJD should not donate a cornea or other body tissue.
Most countries now have strict guidelines for managing infected cows to avoid transmitting CJD to humans.

I stopped in at the Carroll County Cooperative Extension office last week and was greeted with the most beautiful display of fresh vegetables.
You never know what's behind those doors when you go there, but oh, the most pleasant people, displays and information is right there at your finger tips. Jim Graves was the person showing his beautiful vegetables and you can try some for yourself if you go to the Farmer's Market every Wednesday at the courthouse and Saturdays at Hometown Pizza. If you don't go, you are truly missing out.
I so appreciate all of the positive comments regarding the pork rub recipe I gave you a couple of weeks ago.
It was so funny because the very day I wrote the column, my daughter-in-law called and wanted to know if I had a good recipe for a pork loin. She wanted to fix a nice dinner for my son. However, he was getting a little tired of chicken and he wanted something different. Hence, my recipe came in really handy that day. The results from my son, "delicio."

Kentucky's tourism industry is once again gearing up for the summer travel season. As someone who has worked in the industry for more than 30 years, I believe we have many good reasons to be optimistic about 2012.
Now that the U.S. Senate has passed bipartisan S 1789 to reform the ailing U.S. Postal Service, critics are trying to disable the bill on its way to the House. Both postal unions and USPS want more for their side, and some Republicans mistakenly believe the bill burdens taxpayers.
Unfortunately, Kentucky Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul both bought into that logic and opposed S 1789.
Because I was an hour early for a lunch date with some friends in Lexington last Friday, I decided to mosey on over to Dillard's for a bit of retail therapy. As I browsed through the department that carries my size, the person ringing up sales was talking loudly about her Mother's Day plans, wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day and just going on and on.
Since assuming office in 2009, President Obama has piled billions of dollars in unaffordable burdens on electricity generation. Now his team of regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched another misguided assault on coal with no regard for the cost to American families and businesses.
Earlier this year, as the General Assembly was putting together the budget to run state government, it was becoming increasingly clear that the state was finally beginning to see some lasting growth.
That was further confirmed several weeks ago, when one of the state's economists said that "all signs are pointing to the likelihood that the recovery is here to stay."
Many have shared their memories of Charlie Webster this past week and tonight, as I write, I am moved to share mine.
In a large way, Charlie was Carrollton to me. I first met him as my pharmacist working out of the old drug store on the square, but soon we connected in a much closer way. Both unrepentant Democrats, we shared our experiences and beliefs in that party over the years. Our stories of old-time politics in small Kentucky towns were made real by our memories of our parents and grandparents.
"I need to borrow your guitar, Dad." That was the request of my 8-year old last week. "I'm trying out for the spring talent showcase."
I had to interject and remind him that he does not know how to play the guitar — never had a lesson.
He informed me that he was going to sing a song and also play it on guitar. I didn't like the idea of sending him to school with my guitar, especially since he doesn't know how to play guitar.
Living for many years in a rural community in the panhandle of Florida, we had no television at all. That meant lots of radio and records; Mother and Daddy dancing in the kitchen to Bing Crosby, Vaughn Monroe, Frankie Laine, Patti Paige, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee and others whose names I can't remember.

Role of Industrialized Nations
Taking RESPONSIBILITY... targets for industrialized nations
Leading the way are Norway, with the intention of reducing emissions by 40%, and Japan with a reduction of 25%.
The European Union has put forward a unilateral 20% reduction, with the possibility of moving to 30% if others follow suit. However, the EU's proposal has too many options for offsetting, which would in effect mean emissions reductions at home of no more than 5% between now and 2020.
Norway's commitment also includes provision for substantial amounts of offsetting, rather than reduction of domestic emissions
Canada has made little if any effort to curb its emissions in line with its Kyoto commitments.
This is not good enough.
The fewer cuts we make, the more we lock ourselves into dirty infrastructure, and the more we risk exceeding the 2°C threshold.
WWF asks that as a group, industrialized countries make binding commitments to achieve cuts of at least 40% from 1990 levels by 2020. Most of these cuts must occur at home.
Failure by industrialized countries to reach such a target will also dramatically reduce the world's options in future decades. In particular it will use up atmospheric "space" for emissions that should be left for poorer countries as they develop their economies. This especially applies to the least developed nations.
In this zero-sum game, every tonne emitted by a developed country is a tonne that cannot be emitted by a developing country.
Nor can we leave things till 2020.
- There cannot be a gap between the Kyoto compliance period of 2008-2012 and the next.
- We need to agree targets for a compliance period running from 2013 to 2017.
- And it should set a date for negotiations on targets for 2018-2022 to begin not later than 2013.
WWF also believes there should be an emergency review clause, so the world can react promptly to any worsening in the news from scientists.
Tigers MUST come to the table
But the world isn't quite so simple.
Some non-Annex 1 countries have become newly industrialized, and are now richer than some Annex 1 countries such as Romania and Ukraine. And thanks to their booming economies, several now have higher per capita emissions and higher per capita income.
WWF believes these countries can no longer shelter behind their formal status as developing countries. They must accept their responsibilities as newly industrialized economies and commit to binding emissions targets.
For instance, per head of the population, Malaysia's emissions from burning fossil fuels are now the same as those of Britain, and more than twice those of Romania.
Taiwan, the Republic of Korea and Israel have doubled their per capita emissions since 1990, again to European levels.
Singapore's emissions are up by nearly 50% and now higher than most European countries'.
Many Gulf States, having been excused from Kyoto Protocol targets, have even higher emissions. Saudi Arabia has almost doubled emissions since 1990 – they are now higher per capita than for any European country except Luxembourg.
The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar now occupy the top 4 slots in the per capita league table.
The top spot is held by Qatar, whose emissions have risen more than 4-fold since 1990 and, per capita, are now 3x those of the USA.

1 Jul 2013You will need to arm yourself with lots of information before you decide to get an ac repair specialist. First of all, it really is essential to understand what HVAC contractors do as well as precisely how they do it; and next, it's important to realize the dangers involved in their job before you decide to employ one. You will need to comprehend that a badly installed appliance could set your property to flames. In case you seriously wish to have comfort at home, and you do not want your electric bills to be too big, you ought to get a truly qualified HVAC equipment technician. Below are some of the things to put in your checklist while interviewing contractors for AC repair projects.
The Job List Must be Full
There is a specific list of things you will be needing form the particular professional, and you also need to prepare it. You may want to do a little exploration on the costs that technicians ordinarily look for the work before you begin compiling a listing of prospects for the assignment. It isn't the best practice to leave the contractor undertake the entire thinking for you. If you believe you can prepare certain things alone, you need to create a list of them. There are a few lawful specifications for HVAC contractors to be discovered as well. That will help you to understand what to ask them. If you are aware of why you are hiring an air conditioning repair professional, then you can go forward by exploring the items below.
Discover If the Company Has a Legal Certificate
You must really not risk the opportunity, and you should discover if the presented contractor is authorized. In case the professional owns licensing, this means that they're ready for the task, that they have the knowledge and possibly even the past experiences required. Apart from looking at the license of the HVAC contractor, it truly is important to check if he has any professional connections. Serious and also ambitious professionals will show commitment by joining an association of their own sort to advertise the significance of their career.
Being within the Registrar of Contractors is certainly a good sign that the contractor is a serious one. The capability to record complaints and find out how a given professional operates is just one of the features of this specific affiliation. It is possible to check on the website from the Registrar of Contractors if the professional you might be hiring has complaints submitted against him by different clients. In case a specialist has problems with customers, you should not address them. Assuming you have any kind of issues with a specific contractor's work, you are able to submit a claim to the Registrar of Contractors to be sure you receive payoff. In that manner, the Registrar of Contractors provides customers some security from inexperienced and unreliable HVAC technicians.
Make Sure the Service Provider Is Covered by Insurance
There is great threat associated with such services, which is one of the things to keep in mind always. As stated in the beginning of this specific content, something can go wrong throughout HVAC mending services: furniture may be destroyed, property damaged, the house set to fire as well as individuals hurt in the event of an accident. If a system is defective, there could be a mishap in the course of job. You should make certain that your household is completely secured if something like this happens. Highest insurance policy is a thing you should make sure that the professional has constantly. You need to request to take a look at the insurance policy of the air conditioner contractor you intend to hire before offering a contract to him; the bigger the insurance policy, the greater level of safety you may get if an accident appears. If perhaps it's a big company you're dealing with, subcontractors will need to be covered well also. The standard insurance policy for just about any HVAC fixing company will be between $500,000 and $1 million.
You are going to definitely have tranquillity knowing that any kind of damage taking place in the air conditioner fixing services is going to be covered under an insurance.

Guess Who's Back: Luca
by Star Talk Editor in Videos, July 16, 2014After ousting six hopefuls (including two fan favorites) in Star Salvation, Luca proved himself worthy of a second chance. He entered back into the competition as the remaining finalists traveled to Las Vegas, and he even took one of the top two spots for the episode.

Happy to see him back, because he's been a better cook since Day One than some who are still on, and he'd been getting noticeably better with presentation in each episode of Salvation (although Reuben was better on Salvation than he'd been on his last episode, too).
I did sorta see the reasoning behind his original elimination, though. He was asked if he'd ever been in front of a camera and he answered that he hadn't. If the judges interpreted that as meaning he hadn't even gotten someone to record him for practice before the competition, they might have thought that showed he wasn't as dedicated as he could be (I don't know if that's how Giada meant the question, or if that's how Luca meant his answer, or if that how the judges heard his answer.)

The Light and How to Swing It: Why is the mana gone? {WoW}
Sep 5th 2010 5:11PM Divine Plea cannot be an emergency spell when it doesn't have the debuff. It just gives you free mana that can be used any time you like, no matter when you click it. Emergency spells give a short term buff only so they must be used at the time they're really required. There is no reason to avoid casting it immediately when you have enough free space in your mana pool.
It can have a very long CD though like 30 minutes, that will stop you from using it every fight. But it's not really helpfull. If emergencies happen during an encounter, they tend to happen about every fight.

Sep 5th 2010 4:55PM mor8idhomogenosuicide, Innervate can be used on others so it's not wise to use it yourself on CD. There's no sense in having such a spell being used on CD because it doesn't requires skill and it's not fun. If paladins need more mana, Blizz can just make paladins' spells cost less and remove Divine Plea at all.
Divine Plea is useful only when you need to find appropriate time during the fight to use it. And it actually fills the break when you aren't casting healing spells with something meaningful.

I found a really good reason NOT to use my favorite name...
My favorite name, which I've been wanting to call my daughter for a long time, is Milena (I've been pronouncing it as "mil-LAY-na"), nn Millie. But, yesterday I found out that a nearly identical word, Melena, is the name for black, tarry poop! Oh no! I can't even say Milena now without thinking about that. Is it ruined? Can anyone offer some similar alternatives?

Erm, in what language? I've never heard that before. Besides, Milena is a strong, beautiful name, and I don't think anyone (or at least, very few!) will think of that when they think of Milena, especially with the sweet nn Millie. Maybe you could search for another name that would yield Millie, if Milena just doesn't work for you anymore? I think Amelie, Camilla, Romilly, etc., with the nn Millie, is adorable. Or even Emilia/Amelia or Emmeline...

The other word is pronounced mil-eh-na, not mi-lay-na.
