About Ben Howard
Ben Howard announces surprise shows
Ben Howard hasn't released new music in two years, but all seems forgiven according to fans thanks to a recent surprise announcement from Howard on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show.
The "Only Love" singer shared on July 9 that he'll play at Hackney Empire on September 4. That date will be followed by a stop at Paradiso, Amsterdam on the 8th, the Admiralspalast in Berlin on the 9th and at the Alhambra in Paris on the 11th. Tickets went on sale the following morning, sparking a social media frenzy.
Howard is also headlining a brand new festival taking place in Devon from July 17 through the 21st. He was set to take the stage with fellow singer/songwriter Jack Johnson at the Castle Hill estate. For Howard it marked a hometown show, and for Johnson it was penciled in as his only UK festival appearance for 2014.
It's not like Howard has actually been in hiding this year. In fact, he's been making the rounds at places like Bonnaroo, and has more than a dozen upcoming dates penciled in on his calendar this summer. Maybe he hasn't had time to work on a new record, but has had many a chance to deliver a live set that is slick and polished, yet feels like is has plenty of raw edge.
Howard is still holding the crowd in his hand thanks to renditions of "Old Pine," "Keep Your Head Up," "The Wolves," "Black Flies" and many other fan favorites.
About Ben Howard (Created August 2, 2013)
John Martyn. Van Morrison. Joni Mitchell. Simon & Garfunkel. What do all these famed musicians have in common? They all served as inspiration for British singer-songwriter Ben Howard, whose major debut studio album came in 2011.
Born in West London and raised in Totnes, Devon, Howard was just a child when he was exposed to the sounds of some of those aforementioned superstars. But while most boys his age were out riding bikes and playing soccer, Howard was writing songs around the age of ten or eleven. By the time University rolled around, he was focused on music full-time and had gained a following around some of the more elite schools in Britain.
Though he spent several years releasing his own material, including EPs "Games in the Dark," "The Wolves" and "Old Pine," his label debut would come in 2011. Following the release of two singles, Howard recorded the album "Every Kingdom," which bowed on October 3, 2011. It released to the U.S. the following spring, and Howard became a hot name after he played at South by Southwest, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits.
In November 2012, Howard released "The Burgh Island EP," which featured four brand new tracks. Once again met with critical acclaim, it featured a more darker tone than his previous work and electric guitar instead of acoustic.
Howard most recently played the main Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival 2013, where he performed five tracks from "Every Kingdom." Other appearances this summer will include stops at Echo Beach in Toronto, the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montreal and Lollapalooza in Chicago.

Senior Internet Editor
The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board is using a tool that tracks how stimulus money is being spent and follows the money. Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag recently announced that the rest of government is going to start using that system.
The way Earl Devaney, Chairman of the RAT Board, explained it to Federal News Radio, the thinking behind the tool sounds very familiar to anyone who has, as Devaney does, a criminal justice background.
Towards the end of the last century (which sounds longer ago than it really is,) there was a shift from police responding to calls for help to Community Oriented Policing - patrolling trouble spots to act as a deterrent to crime before it happened.
Devaney explained one of his goals when standing up the RAT Board was to "try to prevent or interrupt fraud before it actually happened as opposed to the old paradigm of coming along later and detecting it."
The new tool being turned over to agencies is a result of that effort.
"This isn't necessarily old fashioned data mining," said Devaney. "This is using public source information and harnessing the tools that bring millions and millions of pieces of public source data into one place."
He cautions agencies, however, "don't think of it as a silver bullet." He said it's not going to catch all of the potential fraudsters out there, lamenting that for "every device that we develop in the enforcement arena, the bad guys will think of a way around it."
But there are some new software tools involved, said Devaney, "using these tried and true methods that had been helping us, for instance, track terrorists or organized crime and we're using it to look at money now."
Most importantly, it can act as a predictor of where problems might follow by looking at every grant, loan, and contract.
We're looking at everything and trying to discern in that look where we would best utilize our investigative resources, or for that matter our audit resources. Often times we see something that might not merit a criminal investigation, for instance, but might very well be something that we think an IG ought to take a look at with the perspective of maybe doing an audit in that area. So this is...a first time opportunity to see everything at once and we're trying to utilize the tools and professionals we have to try to take advantage of that.
While Devaney said the old tool bag basically only held audits and investigations, this is a "modern day approach to trying to prevent something before it happens as opposed to simply accepting that it will happen and detecting it later, long after the money's gone and the bad guys are gone too."

My Journey Towards Reclaiming My Life
By Annette M. Santiago-Reyes
I canít begin to describe the past two, almost three years, of sadness and desperation that I lived. Depression itself was no stranger to me. I was first clinically diagnosed when I was 15. Since then, I have been hospitalized a few times, been on every medicine imaginable, and have seen several psychiatrists and therapists. A few years ago I moved to the Columbus area. It was a difficult time.
I moved away from my family and I missed them a great deal. My husband was working 12-hour shifts and my daughter and I barely spent time with him. It was more as if I were a single mom. I found a job in March 2008 and was doing pretty well. In December 2008 I was let go from my job due to budget cuts. Trying to find work was difficultÖ I received unemployment while I desperately tried to look for work. Finally in November 2009 I found a great paying job. My work background is social services and I found a job helping people find employment and get the skills they needed to be gainfully employed. During that time, my grandmother who had been ill already for quite some time took a turn for the worst. I was filled with guilt that I was not there with her. She lived with my mother and I traveled two-and-a-half hours every weekend to visit. The drives were stressful but I needed to be with her as much as I could. She was like a mother to me.
I found my depression getting worse; my anxiety skyrocketed and I was always crying. Soon it was so bad that I could not even function at work, so I had no choice but to quit. I left in March 2010. A month after I quit, my grandmother died. Her death shook me in a way that I had never felt before. I found a psychiatrist here and he put me on some different medications. I also received a different diagnosis. I found not only did I suffer from major recurring depression, but I was also found to have bipolar disorder. That was hard to accept. The worst came to mind when he said that diagnosis to me, but he was quick to explain that the diagnosis was different for everyone. He then went on to explain his diagnosis.
I took my meds as directed, started to see a therapist, and I was sure that I was getting better. My doctor warned me against returning to work to early, but I did not listen. I found another job in November 2010. I did well for a little while, but then everything came back full force. I quit in February 2011. I had to come to the realization that I was not able to hold a job, no matter how much I wanted to, especially any work in social services. All I had worked for, my years of work experience, my degree, all of that became worthless to me. I had no choice but to stay home, where every day became worse and worse.
My family was suffering. All I could do was sleep and sit around like a zombie. My husband lost his wife and my daughter lost her mother. I was too hopeless and helpless to care. I was in a place all my own where I was too afraid to live and too afraid to die. I even had a genetic test done to see which medicines would work better for me. After trying every possible medication combination possible I gave up. I just accepted that this was me and that was who I was going to be for the rest of my life. I applied for SSI but I was denied. It felt like we were going to lose everything and I blamed myself for all of it. I became filled with anger and hate. I felt my family was better off without me. I even asked my husband to take my daughter and leave me. This was not the life I wanted for them.
Needless to say my doctor and I were at a crossroadsÖhe suggested that I have electrotherapy. The success ratio was higher than that of medication. I was terrified. I knew I was bad, but was it so bad that he felt electrotherapy was my best option? In my mind all I could think of was the shock treatments that I had seen in movies growing up. He gave me the number for the doctor that did the treatment and told me to call and speak to his nurse. He assured me that it was not as bad as I thought and that he really felt that I would benefit from it.
I called the office and spoke to the nurse. She explained the procedure to me and needless to say it did not sound bad. They put you to sleep before the treatment and before you know it you are waking up. I was still terrified of course. I was told that it normally took eight sessions for improvement. With the support of my husband, my family and prayer, I decided to take the risk and have the treatment done. I started treatment in the beginning of October 2011 and went to treatment three times a week for three weeks. One week I only received two treatments. During that time I was not able to drive or do much, because the treatment affected my short-term memory and I would forget things. At that time, it was the most difficult decision I ever made in my life. Every time I went in for treatment, I was filled with fear and anxiety.
At this time in my life, I can say that it was the best decision I have made for myself in my life. I canít even remember how bad I was that I decided to have the treatment done. I have my life back. I am no longer an empty shell, I am alive. I have my husband and daughter back and they have me back. There is nothing greater that I could have asked for than to be where I am right now in my life. I am still on medication, but nothing near the amount of meds I was taking before the treatment. I was given the clearance to look for work, with a few restrictions of course. Like no social service jobs. I found a great job, which I started on December 1.
I work with a great group of people at an incredible company. The company is aware of my condition and they work with me so that I can make it to my therapy sessions and doctor as needed. I could not ask for anything more. I am still sick. I will never be able to get rid of it. However, I am learning to cope with it and live with it. I had to let go of the anger I had and remind myself that I was no different than someone who had a heart problem or diabetes. I never asked for this illness, but it is a part of me. I have to accept it if I want to live my life to the fullest. I will do everything in my power to never go back to the person I was before. I have survived and I carry that in my heart every day. It is my proof that surviving is possible no matter how far that light at the end of the tunnel seemed.

In addition, Dr. Burns moderated a two-hour session titled "FDA Update" and judged clinical posters for APhA at the conference. She also attended the Remington Dinner in honor of Mary-Anne Koda Kimble and hosted the ASPL reception. At the reception, she presented the ASPL awards to their respective recipients.
Dr. Madras' contributions to the APhA meeting included evaluating posters and obtaining an APhA certificate of achievement titled "Pharmaceutical Care for Patients with Diabetes." In addition, she was certified by the APhA Train the Trainer course to teach other pharmacists or students about immunizations.
Dr. Kahaleh invited preceptors and students to a reception hosted by the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association and all the schools of pharmacy in Pennsylvania, including LECOM, during the conference, which brought together students, pharmacists and preceptors from across the state to meet up and learn more about opportunities in Pennsylvania.
"The main purpose of the reception was to help students, faculty and preceptors from across Pennsylvania network and, specifically, to inspire students and help them become more active participants in the decision-making processes that shape the practice of pharmacy at professional organizations," Dr. Kahaleh said.
"Dr. Enfinger and Dr. Kahaleh are to be congratulated on their efforts to bring the pharmacy students together at this national meeting," said Hershey Bell, MD, MS, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the LECOM School of Pharmacy. "This demonstrates the unity of the LECOM School of Pharmacy across our campuses."
Students who attended the conference from LECOM Erie include Jennifer Bailey, Nate Dahl, Skyler DeBlasio, Scott Nellis, Eric Schaefer, Trena Schooley, John Schools, Ben Vroman, Cory Ulisse and Riley Williams II.

CARLSBAD – In a hillside Tiger Run Court office complex, tucked in the maze of new, plain, beige offices of startups, tiny firms and a jiu-jitsu school is an ominous Suite 101.
Nothing but "101" in white stenciled numbers on a blacked-out storefront of tinted glass doors and walls. No business name. No logos. No hint, glimmer or clue that — inside this 1,500 square-foot headquarters and warehouse of RareInk — the traditional notion of sports memorabilia is getting painted over.
Since late October, RareInk, the fledgling sports venture/adventure of Orange County entrepreneurs Tim Muret and Dave Sanders, has been producing the "official art of the NBA." In March, it plans to launch its Major League Baseball collection.
Muret and Sanders are attempting to fill the purchasing need for the fan who already has — or doesn't want — the commemorative jersey, T-shirt, pennant, foam finger, autographed baseball, game-used bat, ballcap, collectable pin, minibat, bobblehead, gnome, piggy bank or Fathead.
The front door of their Carlsbad headquarters opens into its own NBA All-Star Game every day — except there's the pingpong table/conference table in the middle of this bright, busy art gallery/boardroom/two-employee lounge.
The walls and floors are covered with about a hundred vibrant, kinetic, highly graphic and stylized artist proofs on copy paper, archival paper and canvas.
San Diego-based rock poster artist Mark Sgarbossa's painted image of Lakers guard Kobe Bryant dribbling on his 81-point night is stretched across 24-by-30-inch canvas and hanging on the right wall.
French artist Caroline Blanchett rendered Knicks All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony driving down the lane in an explosion of blue and bright orange for a corner print.
Two dozen 8-by-10 color proofs of paintings, including Polish artist Gabz's ultrarealistic takes on a posting-up Larry Bird, a skywalking Magic Johnson and a one-handed-dunking Michael Jordan, are push-pinned into a bulletin board covering the left wall.
"We're trying to bring something to the table that is different stylistically and offer high quality, limited edition, extraordinary, accessible and affordable fine art to sports fans," said RareInk chief executive officer Muret, who grew up in Tustin.
Muret and Sanders, of Dana Point, met a decade ago while working as executives for Carlsbad-based sports memorabilia and trading card giant Upper Deck.
They left Upper Deck to start RareInk in 2009, a year after having seen how sports fans positively responded when Upper Deck offered of a graphic portrait of a newly crowned NBA MVP Bryant by contemporary artist Shepard Fairey. (Yes, Fairey of the Barack Obama "Hope" posters.)
Sanders, who grew up in Redondo Beach exposed to skateboard graphic arts, designed Hot Wheels for Mattel before joining Upper Deck and RareInk.
Now he uses that discriminating eye to identify world artists with edgy, evocative styles and then commissions them to paint, draw and computer-graphically render the NBA's most recognizable stars making their most signature moves on some of their most memorable nights.
The artists, some of them with no sports ties, use a series of Getty Images photos provided by RareInk to create original artwork in their own style. The NBA collection currently features 120 original pieces representing all 30 teams.

Typeface notes:
Helvetica is one of the most popular typefaces of all time. It was designed by Max Miedinger in 1957 for the Haas foundry of Switzerland (the name is derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland). The design is based on the grotesques of the late nineteenth century, but new refinements put it in the sans serif sub-category of neo-grotesque. Shortly after its introduction, the Stempel foundry purchased the original Helvetica typeface and developed a full series of weights. In the 1960s Helvetica came to the United States, where alignment standards differed; Mergenthaler Linotype copied the Stempel series and then added several new versions of the design. Helvetica is an all-purpose type design that can deliver practically any message clearly and efficiently. The condensed and compressed Helvetica designs are excellent for display applications such as newspaper or newsletter headlines, billboards, and advertising.

December 2012 photo of the month.
The Sojourners magazine photo of the month (December 2012 [1]) features Rukimba Furaha—a mother of 8 children—who fled her home in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to escape a new outbreak of violence, according to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). In September, Congo's Protestant leaders presented a petition from 1 million Congolese to the U.S. Congress urging religious, civic, and political leaders to call for an end to the violence. According to the United Nations, militants are fighting, in part, over access to mining operations for "conflict minerals," such as coltan (used in cell phones and laptops).

SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- The future of commercial fishing on the Columbia River is now in the hands of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission after a measure to ban gillnets failed on Election Day.
The commission faces the tough task of mediating a longstanding conflict between commercial and recreational fishing interests by the end of the year.
After years of stalemate, Gov. John Kitzhaber has asked the commission to come up with new commercial fishing regulations that phase out the use of gillnets on the Columbia.
Gillnets snag fish by the gills and are the primary method of commercial fishing on the Columbia.
Critics contend that they're harmful to endangered fish, but commercial fishermen say the controversy is drummed up by recreational anglers who want to eliminate competition for salmon.

Redburn Low Women RRP $ 129.00
Highly technical and high-grip Approach boot incorporating a wealth of innovations: The patented Mammut Base Fit lacing transfers power to the soles and prevents pressure points and slipping in the boot. The high-grip gripex Cougapproach sole developed by Mammut and a stable, lightweight EVA IP wedge with integrated Mammut Rolling Concept ensure safe and comfortable ascents. The breathability of the open-pored 3D liner fabric and abrasion-resistant PA fabric ensure a pleasant temperature. Rubber and velours leather reinforcements combined with board lasting for protection and durability.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

In recent years different approaches have emerged to deliver an IoC vision. Latter types, as part of a 'LightWeight' agenda have concentrated on simplicity and transparency.
Devised at ThoughtWorks' London offices in December of 2003. Present at the "Dependency Injection" meeting were Paul Hammant, Aslak Hellesoy, Jon Tirsen, Rod Johnson (Lead Developer of the Spring Framework), Mike Royle, Stacy Curl, Marcos Tarruela and Martin Fowler (by email).
Inversion of Control
See also Constructor Injection, Setter Injection, Contextualized Lookup for more information.
Note Field Injection was provisionally known as 'type 4'. There was really no interest 'type 4' until EJB3.0. Getter Injection flourished for a while, but did not take and was never supported by the PicoContainer team.
This is where a dependency is handed into a component via its constructor :
public interface Orange { // methods } public class AppleImpl implements Apple { private Orange orange; public AppleImpl(Orange orange) { this.orange = orange; } // other methods }
This is where dependencies are injected into a component via setters :
public interface Orange { // methods } public class AppleImpl implements Apple { private Orange orange; public void setOrange(Orange orange) { this.orange = orange; } // other methods }
This is where dependencies are looked up from a container that is managing the component :
public interface Orange { // methods } public class AppleImpl implements Apple, DependencyProvision { private Orange orange; public void doDependencyLookup(DependencyProvider dp) throws DependencyLookupExcpetion{ this.orange = (Orange) dp.lookup("Orange"); } // other methods }
Component is the correct name for things managed in an IoC sense. However very small ordinary classes are manageable using IoC tricks, though this is for the very brave or extremists
A component many have dependencies on others. Thus dependency is the term we prefer to describe the needs of a component.
Service as a term is very popular presently. We think 'Service' dictates marshaling and remoteness. Think of Web Service, Database service, Mail service. All of these have a concept of adaptation and transport. Typically a language neutral form for a request is passed over the wire. In the case of the Web Service method requests are marshaled to SOAP XML and forward to a suitable HTTP server for processing. Most of the time an application coder is hidden from the client/server and marshaling ugliness by a toolkit or API.
Types 1, 2 and 3 IoC were unilaterally coined earlier in 2003 by the PicoContainer team and published widely.
Type 1 becomes Contextualized Dependency Lookup
Type 2 becomes Setter Dependency Injection
Type 3 becomes Constructor Dependency Injection
Dependency Injection is non-invasive. Typically this means that components can be used without a container or a framework. If you ignore life cycle, there is no import requirements from an applicable framework.
Contextualized Dependency Lookup is invasive. Typically this means components must be used inside a container or with a framework, and requires the component coder to import classes from the applicable framework jar.
Note that Apache's Avalon (and all former type-1 designs) are not Dependency Injection at all, they are Contextualized Dependency Lookup.
With plain JNDI, lookup can be done in a classes' static initialiser, in the constuctor or any method including the finaliser. Thus there is no control (refer C of IoC). With JNDI used under EJB control, and concerning only components looked up from that bean's sisters (implicitly under the same container's control), the specification indicates that the JNDI lookup should only happen at a certain moment in the startup of an EJB application, and only from a set of beans declared in ejb-jar.xml. Hence, for EJB containers, the control element should be back. Should, of course, means that many bean containers have no clue as to when lookups are actually being done, and apps work by accident of deployment. Allowing it for static is truly evil. It means that a container could merely be looking at classes with reflection in some early setup state, and the bean could be going off and availing of remote and local services and components. Thus depending whether JNDI is being used in an Enterprise Java Bean or in a POJO, it is either an example of IoC or not.

Hello all,
After long researches i don't understand why this template doesn't want to work.
Installation is good, i binded it to my test device, and no graph.
When i test the command in the data source template section, it works well (exemple : PING OK|xmt=3 rcv=3 loss=0 min=17.8 avg=21.3 max=23.7)
But still no graph.
It's the same problem than a precedent template "smokeping" (somebody knows where to find it ? It's not listed in the zenpack list) installed on the server before i began to use it, which is approximatively the same than fping. This template used to work before my upgrade from 2.1.x to 2.4.5. And since, there is no graph anymore. For old devices with previous data we can read the NAN value on the graph, and for new added device, there is no graph at all...
Please, someone give me a clue... I'm out of ideas...
Hello Barney, Artifact,
thanks for your answers.
There is no errors in zencommand.log
I tried to apply the SUID although I don't understand why I should, because these programs have the execute rights for other and group, so what's the need to execute it as root ?
Anyway it does'nt graph either.
Please help !
so if you go int the /Device/Templates/b_fping/Data Source. Test against device what do you get? The device you test must be currently monitored. Also the reason you have to run as root just like if you look at the binary ping its because the command opens sockets for the return echo reply and only root can do that.
su - zenoss and rund the same command that you passed as root
I kept the SUID on fping.
The result of Test against device was posted on my first post :
(exemple : PING OK|xmt=3 rcv=3 loss=0 min=17.2 avg=20.9 max=24.9)
Seems to work really well... But no graph
The test against device was working without suid on fping.
Runned in ssh with zenoss user :
[zenoss@xxxx ~]$ /usr/sbin/fping -c 3 -sq "adresse ip" 2>&1 | /bin/sed 's/\([0-9]*\)\/\([0-9]*\)\/\([0-9]\)%/xmt=\1 rcv=\2 loss=\3/;s/\([0-9]*.[0-9]*\)\/\([0-9].*\)\/\([0-9].*\)/min=\1 avg=\2 max=\3/' | /bin/sed -r '/targets/,/real time/d;s/[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]* : xmt\/rcv\/%loss = /PING OK|/;s/, min\/avg\/max = / /'
PING OK|xmt=3 rcv=3 loss=0 min=18.0 avg=19.9 max=22.9
Works hee too.
We posted quite the same time
Please have a look at my last post for results.
here is all my notes from installing fping. I am 100% not the author of the perl script or any of the tweeks. Im meerly a follower in the world of zenoss.
chown root:zenoss convertfping.pl
chmod +x convertfping.pl
chown root:zenoss fping

there's what I tried after your answer :
Create your convertfping.pl, apply it the good rights.
Change the command template of fping with the one you give me
Add the custom part of packet loss
Apply and save all changes.
However nothing is graphing.
I tried the new command from ssh ant it works, so this is the same problem as the original template...
We decided to reinstall zenoss on a formatted server and the problem was solved.
Probably a user rights problem somewhere but where ? We were unable to figure it out.

Lots of people, including Ghostcrawler, are talking about interrupts lately. So I'll throw in my two cents. Again, I play mostly PvE, so I'm pretty much ignoring the PvP aspects.
Back in Wrath, a lot of us healers complained that healing was too unforgiving and stressful. Sometimes it felt like you'd miss a heal, and the tank would die. I think Blizzard agreed with that perspective, and changed the balance between healing and tank health for Cataclysm.
But in some respects, it seems like that "unforgiving" element of fights has moved to interrupts. A lot of fights seem to follow the pattern: going fine, going fine, missed interrupt, raid wipes. It's very frustrating for the interrupter, and it's very frustrating for the rest of the raid.
And even the cast times seem to be excessively fast. It seems like the standard interruptible boss spell cast time is 1.5 seconds. That's a really short window. I'm actually rather impressed with our interrupters to be able to hit that small window each time, especially with lag and latency and Halfus knockdowns.1
The other thing that annoys me about interrupts is that Curse of Tongues does not seem to work on most bosses. I mean, here we have a spell that's tailor-made to make interrupting easier, and it's completely useless most of the time. It feels "right" that Blizzard would expect us to use Curse of Tongues to help out the interrupters. The perfect time to use a rarely used skill. And yet, no dice.
If I was to fix anything about interrupts, it would be to make Curse of Tongues and similar debuffs usable in Normal modes, at the very least. That would bring the 1.5 second cast time up to ~2 seconds for Normal modes. I think this would make the interrupts more forgiving, and be more balanced for that level of raiding. Heroic bosses can remain immune to Curse of Tongues, upping the challenge for interrupters playing at the higher level.
1. Honestly, WTF is this? Rotating mages ice-blocking and stun-break CDs through the last knockdown so we can interrupt? Did this not strike anyone at Blizzard as slightly excessive?

Then CoT would need to be given to more classes (if it isn't already) to keep with the 'bring the player, not the class' creed they spent all last year having us memorize.

It is given to multiple classes.
Warlocks - Curse of Tongues
Death Knights - Necrotic Strike
Arcane Mage - Slow
Rogues - Mind-numbing Poison
Hunters - Spore Bats
It's actually a basic PvP ability, so a whole bunch of classes have it.

I'm a healer, but I agree fully. It's like doing an Immortal run, where everyone is looking at the one person that failed. And I think everyone that hasn't been in interrupting duty thinks it's a lot easier than it really is.
As for knockdown, you just need a single mage that Blinks through the last one, then counterspells. No rotation or anything else needed.

Babar beat me to it. No need to burn ice block. A mage just needs to wait until the third knockdown, then blink, then counterspell. One mage can do it every time. Just make sure you don't blink past him and end up with Halfus behind you when you're trying to counterspell. Not that I've ever done that. <.< >.>

My guild doesn't have a regular raiding mage though as we're a 10 man guild, but that shadow nova will still kill people if it isn't interrupted or mitigated in some form.
We actually have a paladin bubble rotation set-up now to deal with it, but we don't always bring 3 pallies either T_T

one mage can actually cover all the interrupts. they just have to blink out of the 3rd stun and then interrupt. blink's cd lines up pretty well with the stuns.

WotLK had some interrupt fights. Probably not has prevalent as today, but I remember the hell of missing an interrupt on General (25) and Anub'arak (H) (the shadowstrike from the adds).
I acquired long ago the reflex of kicking any cast bar, but it surprises me the number of rogues, ret paladins and dps shamans that just never seem to interrupt (e.g. in Blackrock Cavern on my paladin tank, I am the one ending up interrupting the shadowstrike on the super-trash).

I do agree that interrupts has had a greater amount of importance in Cata. However, the comparison between unforgiving healing and unforgiving interrupts is not equal. In Wrath, tanks can be gibbed from 100 to 0 in the space of a couple of seconds. To compensate for this, healers were just spamming their heal on the tank - with no thought of decision making, just plain old spam (and not "skill"). Interrupts, on the other hand, require skill to execute and will certainly make the interrupter happy when they go off.
Interrupting Halfus is not as critical as you think. Even if all 3 stuns go off (even in heroic), it's still possible to survive. In Nefarian, 1 blast nova can frequently be fatal, but it's possible to survive.

Atramedes is worse than Halfus; get two ticks of Searing Flames and you are quite likely to be staring at a wipe. That is just such a bad mechanic; I don't see any fun in that at all.

DoE restructures management offices to cut waste, improve security
Thursday - 7/25/2013, 6:03am EDT
By Melissa Dawkins
Special to Federal News Radio
The Department of Energy is reshuffling its management deck in order to cut costs and improve security.
The restructuring, approved July 12 by Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, reallocates responsibilities of the three undersecretary offices. DoE will expand the role of undersecretary of science to include the energy technology portfolio, establishing the Office of the Undersecretary for Science and Energy. This new office will expedite the process of translating scientific discovery into accessible technologies, Daniel Poneman, deputy secretary of energy, said at a House Energy and Commerce hearing Wednesday.
"We believe that this reorganization is going to synthesize and bring together mission and support in a much better way than has done before. We wouldn't do this reorganization otherwise," Poneman said.
The reorganization also consolidates primary mission and operational support within one department by moving the Office of Environmental Management (EM) and Office of Legacy Management from the undersecretary for nuclear security to the undersecretary for management and performance, Poneman said. The reorganization also established four new secretarial councils.
President Barack Obama announced his decision to nominate NASA Chief Financial Officer Beth Robinson as DoE's undersecretary for management and performance in a July 18 press release.
"It was clear that the opportunity presented by taking one of the available undersecretary positions in the department and having that individual — an individual of authority and in whom the secretary and myself could impose confidence to work full time on these problems — was absolutely critical to getting our arms around this very daunting agenda," Poneman said.
The restructuring comes after numerous Government Accountability Office reports found DoE struggled to manage major projects with security and safety, and to produce reliable information, GAO Director of Natural Resources and Environment David Trimble said.
"All of the ongoing major projects continue to experience significant cost increases and schedule delays," Trimble said.
GAO placed EM and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) on its list of areas at high risk of waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement in 1990, and both agencies remain on the list today. Together, EM and NNSA received about $17 billion in fiscal 2013, roughly 60 percent of DoE's total budget, according to Trimble's testimony.
"Repeated audits for this subcommittee by GAO have found that over the past two decades, DoE has suffered from substantial and continued weaknesses in effectively overseeing contractors and managing large, expensive and technically complex projects," Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) said at the hearing. "But multibillion dollar projects aren't the only problem. This past December, GAO told us that DoE did not have sufficient documentation to assess performance on almost 40 percent of its non-major projects."
Legislators on the oversight committee also are unhappy with DoE's inability to effectively manage contracts and measure progress moving forward.
"Because DoE so heavily relies on contractors to carry out its mission activities, effective governance is critical. But in January of this year, the inspector general reported that despite at least five years of effort, NNSA had not yet implemented fully functional and effective contractor insurance systems," said Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.).
Moving forward, effective and active oversight of DoE contractors is necessary to cut costs and ensure projects are completed in a timely manner, said Energy Inspector General Gregory Friedman.
"As a general point, Congressman Johnson, we have found that the federal managers did not feel they could exercise the necessary oversight over the contractors, because they felt the contractors were so far better prepared for the tasks that they faced," Friedman said. "So certainly, it needs to be recognized professions. They need to get recognition within the department and outside the department. And the contractors need to understand that they're dealing with people on a par who are prepared to take necessary actions to ensure the government's interests are protected."

I've upgraded to Blogger's new templates. As part of this upgrade I've decided to drop the pseudonym "GSH" and simply use my real name when signing posts. I'm not really sure why I'm doing this. To be honest, the double layer of indirection (Coriel -> GSH -> Rohan) was getting a bit weird, especially when responding to emails.
I'm totally fine with signing a blog post or a forum message anonymously, but it somehow seems wrong to sign an email as GSH. It may be the fact that a blog or forum post is a one-to-many relationship, while an email is one-to-one.
Since I'm using my real name now, I figure I might as well use a more real email address as well. It'll save me the trouble of actually remembering to check the one I made specifically for this website.
Other than that, the upgrade broke my essential posts section, so I'll have to rebuild that. It doesn't look like I'll be able to easily do it in a nice compact form for the various series of posts.
If you notice anything that has changed for the worse, or is missing, please post a comment and I'll try to fix it.

I think this is a good chance for me to compliment you on a solid Blog. I'm not sure if you put your thoughts down online for your own retrospection or in a bid to contribute to others but I know as a WoW fan and a keen Paladin I enjoy your coverage of the class and overall game in general.
I've always wondered what the GSH stood for and assumed it to be your real name initials. I've only been reading for 6 or so months so I guess I missed the explanation if there ever was one. Can you shed any light give the initials assumption seems to be off?
Thanks on a good well formatted Blog.

So um...it looks the same. That's cool. :P

Thanks for the kind words. I don't really mind being called Coriel or GSH. They're pointers to me, after all. I'm switching to a real name to simplify things from my end.
As for GSH, it actually stands for "Giant Space Hamster". I needed an alias when playing First-Person Shooters, and I found messages like "You have been killed by Giant Space Hamster" to be terribly amusing. It's also a somewhat uncommon alias, meaning that it's usually unused and free for me to take. So I tend to use Giant Space Hamster, GSHamster, or GSH whenever I need an alias online.

HOUSTON -- Seven years ago, Teri Burrell worked in a strip club. It was raided and she went to jail.
The attorney the club hired advised her to leave the business, and he hired her as a receptionist.
That was the end of stripping for Burrell and the beginning of her ministry.
Unconditional Love Ministries -- we are a ministry that reaches out to the women in the sexually oriented businesses. Burrell said.
She goes to strippers in the clubs and to prostitutes on the streets and gives them bags with Starbucks gift cards, beauty products and a message: When you're ready to leave this life, we will help you.
They're always saying, 'Why are you doing this?' At first they're really stand-offish, like, 'What's this for?' And when you say, 'I just want to love on you.' I just want to give you some love. There's love in the bag,' Burrell said.
Stacy Schindler started stripping at age 18 and was in the business for 10 years.
I wasn't thinking about the guy that was stuffing money in my G-string. I was thinking about the song (that was playing), Schindler recalled.
Then one day, she fell in the club.
It's like my feet just got yanked out from under me and I feel and I fractured my back in two places, Schindler said.
Broke and broken, Schindler learned about Burrell's ministry.
Unconditional Love Ministries collected money for Schindler. With tears in her eyes, she said that the money was just enough to cover her rent.
Schindler now works in advertising and volunteers with Burrell's ministry.
They're going into places where churches won't go, said their pastor, Jeremy Foster, of The 429 Church. That's exactly what Jesus did.
The women want to expand the ministry to include job training, parenting classes, free housing and child care.
I know that I've been redeemed, Schindler said.
They won't rest, they said, until many other Houston women working in the sex trade can say that too.
This is where God has brought me, Burrell said. I came from that dark place. Why would I not reach out to girls that were left behind?

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect an abnormal testosterone level in males and females; in males, to help diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction, the inability of your partner to get pregnant (infertility), or premature or delayed puberty; in females, to help diagnose the cause of masculine physical features (virilization), infertility, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
When to Get Tested?
For males, when you may be infertile or are unable to get or maintain an erection; when you are a boy with either early or delayed sexual maturity (puberty)
For females, when you have male traits, such as a low voice or excessive body hair (hirsutism), when you have abnormal uterine bleeding, do not menstruate (amenorrhea), or are infertile
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone (androgen) produced by special endocrine tissue (the Leydig cells) in the male testicles. It is also produced by the adrenal glands in both males and females and, in small amounts, by the ovaries in females. This test measures the level of testosterone in the blood.
In males, testosterone stimulates development of secondary sex characteristics, including enlargement of the penis, growth of body hair, muscle development, and a deepening voice. It is present in large amounts in males during puberty and in adult males to regulate the sex drive and maintain muscle mass. In women, testosterone is converted to estradiol, the main sex hormone in females.
Testosterone production is stimulated and controlled by luteinizing hormone (LH), which is manufactured by the pituitary gland. Testosterone works within a negative feedback mechanism: as the testosterone level increases, LH production decreases, which slows testosterone production; decreased testosterone causes increased production of LH, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. Testosterone levels are diurnal, peaking in the early morning hours (about 4:00 to 8:00 am), with the lowest levels in the evening (about 4:00 to 8:00 pm). Levels also increase after exercise and also decrease with age. About two-thirds of testosterone circulates in the blood bound to sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and slightly less than one-third bound to albumin. A small percent (about 1-4%) circulates as free testosterone.
In many cases, measurement of total testosterone provides the doctor with adequate information. However, in certain cases, for example when the level of SHBG is abnormal, a test for free or bioavailable testosterone may be performed as it may more accurately reflect the presence of a medical condition.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

I am looking to do a solo retreat somewhere here in the eastern US. I live in NC, actually.
I don't have a lot of money, so that is a consideration. But I can't do one in my home, unfortunately: no privacy.
I have thought about going to Khandroling, but don't know how I feel about paying for a flight up to MA or driving such a long way to and fro!
Any thoughts where I could or what I could do?
When it comes to solo retreats, how is food preparation handled?

Every year, thousands of puppies are sold over the Internet and shipped to consumers like any other product. Websites advertising happy, healthy puppies commonly conceal a grim reality: They're often fronts for puppy mills—large-scale, commercial breeding operations that rear dogs in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions with complete disregard for the animals' wellbeing. Breeding dogs typically spend their entire lives in tiny, wire-bottomed cages churning out litters of puppies until they can no longer reproduce. All of this happens hidden from public view because outdated laws haven't applied to Internet breeders. Until now.
Today, the USDA steps into the Internet age by issuing a rule that brings breeders selling animals to consumers sight-unseen under the regulatory umbrella of the Animal Welfare Act. That means for the first time, USDA inspectors will be laying eyes on animals who have been ignored for too long.
It also means that the ASPCA will be able to provide the public with a window into Internet breeding facilities through our No Pet Store Puppies campaign. The No Pet Store Puppies site boasts over 10,000 photos taken by USDA inspectors at licensed breeding facilities, allowing you to see where pet store puppies really come from. Once the USDA begins inspecting Internet sellers, we will be able to expose the bleak lives of puppies sold over the Internet, too.
We commend the USDA and the Obama Administration for taking this long-awaited step, and we thank you and the more than 350,000 supporters who told the USDA how crucial this rule is.
For more information about puppy mills and to see the conditions captured by USDA inspectors, please visit NoPetStorePuppies.com.
Take Action!
It's important to let government officials know when we think they've done a good job—it also never hurts to remind them that animal welfare is important to their constituents. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly thank the USDA and President Obama for taking steps to protect our nation's long-suffering puppy mill dogs.
IT WOULD BE GREAT if somebody could shut down "All About Puppies" on North Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa. They advertise that all of their puppies "come from happy, healthy, loving homes" - what a bunch of CRAP.
I would like to see "ALL" puppy stores not be allowed to sell puppies and in this way perhaps the puppy mill monsters will have no choice but to get out of the business
This is a start....we have so much further to go....they need to be ALL SHUT DOWN NOW!!!!!
I agree! Almost all people that make money from selling/breeding domestic animals are heartless and greedy:/
Amen Janet I recently adopted a little Pom that was from a puppy mill he was a pathetic mess when he was first rescued. I am pleased to say he is responding very well to a loving enviroment
Unfortunately the new APHIS bill also catches many good, responsible breeders in its net. If you have 4 intact bitches (even if you are only breeding one or fewer litters per year) and have sold a puppy to a previous buyer who lives out of state, who decides she doesn't need to come see the puppy before purchase, that breeder would be subject to USDA regulations.
Maybe you'll say, "Great!" Problem is, the USDA regulations are designed for *facilities*. A normal home where the dogs live as treasure companions that have free access cannot pass USDA inspection. Dry wall and hardwood are not impervious to moisture, and would fail inspection.
Unless you are of the opinion that dogs should not be kept of pets, not all breeders should be shut down. Just the commercial ones, who sadly can easily pass USDA inspections and pay the fines for failing.
hope this includes all flea markets too. they all hurt the animals so much and pay no taxes. would like to see all breeders have to pay taxes. if not so profitable they might stop.
definitely - FLEA MARKETS TOO! SHUT THEM DOWN

Mount Olive's Golden Goal in the 95th Minute Sends Trojans Past Men's Soccer 1-0 in Overtime
September 20, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A golden goal by Craig Allan (Lesmahagow, SCOTLAND) just 4:39 into overtime gave visiting Mount Olive College a 1-0 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Thursday afternoon. The Trojans improve to 2-4 overall, 2-1 in league play while dropping the Falcons to 0-7, 0-3.
After 90 minutes of a scoreless draw, John Kwennah (Cologne, GERMANY) would take the initial shot in the 95th minute forcing Falcon keeper Zach Liles (Cumming, GA) to dive to his right making the save. Kwennahs shot would rebound straight over to Allan who had a wide open net connecting on the game-winner.
Pfeiffers Simon Leslie (Newburgh, SCOTLAND) took the extra sessions first shot firing just wide. As the second half came to a close, Kyle Toler (Charlotte, NC) blasted a shot in the 81st minute as Mount Olive keeper Nick Bernsdorf (Charlotte, NC) made the stop. Each team would have several chances late in the second half to grab the advantage but neither cashed in.
Pfeiffer outshot Mount Olive 21-12 in the match with both teams equaling for six on target. The Falcons would also hold a slight edge in set pieces from the corner at 8-4. Bernsdorf would turn away six shots on the day picking up the win while Liles rejected five for Pfeiffer.
The Falcons will stay at home for another Conference Carolinas tilt on Saturday hosting Coker. Kickoff is slated for 4:00 p.m. with live stats being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The Chronicles of Narnia (adult)
The Chronicles of Narnia (adult) (Hardcover)
Related Editions
Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil -- what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, written in 1949 by C. S. Lewis. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia.
For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a world where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations.
This edition presents all seven books -- unabridged -- in one impressive volume. The books are presented here according to Lewis's preferred order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. This edition also contains C. S. Lewis's essay "On Three Ways of Writing for Children," in which he explains precisely how the magic of Narnia and the realm of fantasy appeal not only to children but to discerning readers of all ages. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to all readers, even fifty years after the books were first published.

He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year.
