awww yes, the golden age of mmos. What a time for gaming.
Recently me and my closest buddies have put gaming aside amidst the stagnant state of mmos, but that sort of opened the door for conversations leading down memory lane; Camping the mile gates in Emain, Hunting the Obby plains in Dereth, Working on our epics in EQ, the list goes on.
We talked about the fun times we had, what characters were dearest to us and the guilds we enjoyed most. But the conversation evolved into What do you miss most about mmos?
We came up with some good ones, but I would like to hear some that maybe we didn't think of, because I love talking about the mmo glory days!
Ones we came up with-
Needing to form a group: I really miss this.. In almost every game I played pre 2006 I would max out my friend's list with healers, tanks, good rogues, good casters. And I also had a notebook with names of people on it and why I liked to group with them. You would Schmooz up on people who had connections and try to make a name for yourself so you got the good groups. Now it's just lobbies and queing up... blah.
Buffing: Man did I love to buff, I would sit in Drum Ligen on my druid and just buff the NPC guards for fun! But even on the other side of it, being buffed was great! It mattered! Being buffed turned you into a machine, taking on reds like they were nothing; it was a noticeable and sizable difference between being buffed and not being buffed. This in turn made you seek out buffing classes and added to that crucial social element. Now a days it's just a group clicky, and you don't even notice if it's on you or not.
Relying on others: In the glory days, you didn't do anything unless you have someone with you, hell,.. In Daoc you could barley get around unless you had a bard with you. You could barley exp, getting around was hard, crafting required funding, dungeons were not available unless you helped take keeps. Some people would read what I just typed and say F*ck that... not me. I play mmos to rely on others, and for others to rely on me, that's what creates a social game. Everything now is instanced and solo'able, you can do anything and everything with out even having to say a word to anyone, thats not an MMO to me.
Meaningful PVP: UO and AC pvp was awesome, pvp mattered and it was scary. But that feeling carried over not just in full loot pvp, but pvp like daoc. When I was in Emain and saw a Unicorn Knight, or a Thundarer i would shit my self. Dying meant more than just having to trek all the way back to Emain, your death and who killed you was splattered all over the zone, embarassing! Now it's just pvp farming, if you see 30 of them and 1 of you, you just run in and fight anyway. Because death is meaningless and victory is meaningless..
That's all I can remember right now, anyone else have anything they miss about the MMO Glory days?
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...

This and everything the OP mentioned. In EQ I remember that everything you did mattered to some group within the game. If you killed Orcs for instance every Orc you killed either added or subtracted your standing from about 5-6 different factions within the game. I remember having to kill Orcs in the West Commonlands for over a week in various groups to get my Freeport faction up enough so I could trade there as a Dark Elf. Some would look at this as a form of grind but I saw it as adding to the overall immersion factor of the game. Depending on who you were and what you had done dictated where you could go.
And then there were mobs like Fippy Darkpaw...

Developers willing to take a chance on something new. Everything now is so researched. It's all done based on what has worked in the past. Everything is trying to recreate a past success. To redo what others have done.
Very few games in general are looking to do something totally new never been tried before.
The golden age of mmos everything was never been done before. That type of innovation has big risks. Something game companies try never to do anymore.

Those who ask a question, are stupid for 30 seconds. Those who never ask, are stupid for life.
I really miss standing around for 6 hours, spamming
"LFG! Level 100 needed for dungeon"
"Want to trade Olthoi Armor for pyreals!"
And seeing chat go by so fast that no one sees your LFG or trade messages, because 1000 other people are spamming chat for the same thing
And I miss standing in one spot killing the same mob over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
I miss being able to grief people and scam people and get away with it (well EVE lets you do this)
I miss being forced to group, and being grouped with a bunch of people that I don't even like or would ever actually talk to or be a real friend with and I'm only with them so I can get something out of them
I miss being killed and losing hundreds of hours it took to get items and losing everything. I have nothing better to do with my life than lose hundreds of hours worth of items and levels/skills/stats...I really miss this.
I miss being able to run around at the highest level and gank level 1s and tell them "GTFO out of the game nooby"...some MMOs allow you to do this though.
That about sums up the things I really miss in the classic MMOs.

I'd go with community. Enjoyment shared by likeminded people.
Community right now is devided. So whatever the game is, you'll have a great deal of ragers, naggers, smartasses, winers etc.
Bring back the scammers and beggers. I loved those guys.

I think that the biggest issue is that we are different people than when the "Golden Age" happened. When I 1st started AC in beta, I thought this is the coolest thing ever. It's like a real D&D universe and a vibrant world interacting with other people. At the time working up to killing Olithoi was hard we would sit around with 20 people trying to kill the 3 or 4 at the mountain shortcut with many deaths.
Back then it was fun getting guildies together to spend 2 hrs trying to get your corpse being guarded by umbral shadows and dying a lot to get it. It was fun to finally get in the Olithoi horde nest to kill them over and over for days getting xp.
These things would probably drive me insane now.
A. I'm almost 15 years older and don't want to devote my limited time to grinding/LFG etc...
B. I will never get that WOW factor back that I got playing AC/EQ/DAOC because even though mechanics and graphics may change and I still have fun. It's just plain not amazing anymore.
C. Mindsets have changed. Back then we were trying to learn how to exist in this new world and there was a lot more tolerance and helping. Nowadays you get bounced even if the grp is doing fine but your not adding x amt of DPS. It seems that people just want to run through the content to get to endgame.
My 2 cents anyway.....
But to the OP - those were some good times back in the day!!

Where is your god now?
In my opinion looking for a fully party was always a shitty experience. But I do believe in an mmo you shouldn't be able to solo. It makes the community... cease to exist.
I'm in favor of wanting a full group but needing at least a group of 2-3 for ALL basic content.

Basically interdependability, reliance on others and the community it spawned. People didn't want to group with an idiot and your rep tended to follow you.
Miss the longer leveling curve that really forced you to learn your class or, again, your rep tended to follow you. There are still names I remember from EQ that I hated grouping with if I got invited to a group with them in it...and it's been 10 years.
Days before queueing for dungeons. I was fine with the first LFG tool that EQ put in. Basically a sortable list of people looking for groups and groups looking for people. There at least you could avoid people you didn't want to group with and couldn't just kick someone because they wore the same armor as you and instantly get another random to replace them. Again...where rep mattered and you couldn't just be a total douchebag to everyone because you could queue up and be forced into a group.
Less focus on story LINES and more focus on world lore. Letting the players actions tell their story instead of it being told to them by the devs.
Classes that stray from the strict Tank / Heal / DPS. True hybrids that could do a bit of everything, CC classes, utility, ect. Looking at you Bard, Enchanter, Shaman...
Mobs that couldn't be grouped into 20 and burned down with minimal effort. Dungeons that couldn't be cleared and picked clean in no time at all that only one group can fit.

2. I have always had mixed feelings about this. As much as I loved Asherons Calls spell system and ability to protect yourself from every type of attack, having to stand around and buff for 5 MINUTES if you wanted full buffs was a royal boring PITA.
3. You still have to do this in every MMO that I know of, even very solo friendly GW2 requires that you group for large events and dungeons. And as pointed out in #2, Asherons Call was very solo friendly if you had the right skills trained.
4. Meaningful in what way? In Asherons Call, you provided the meaning because it had no effect on the world itself in any way and there was no "rank" or "title". It was basically just bragging rights and whatever you looted from them.
The thing I miss most about the golden age is more players having perspective and realizing that an MMO can only do so much and requires the player to put in their own imagination to provide a ROLE PLAYING experience...saw this same stuff in SWG, its a sandbox, if you are not willing to create a castle then all you have is sand.

I used to play ffxi hardcore and heard it was just like eq,
1. I miss the all night xp parties we had going on, like in yhoter jungle, quicksand caves, crawlers nest, ect.
2. I miss the fact that you had to travle quite a bit to get anyware, and had to find a whm to tele to the gate crystals
3. I miss all the content they had throughout the game from start to finish, i literally played for years and most of the time i never even did end-game stuff.
4. I miss it being purely PVE, although it had pvp it was rarely used.
5. I miss Camping NM's with my Linkshell, all the work it took to get really good gear in that game.
6. I loved the fact that you could be every job with one character, great for remembering who ppl are and even leveld up multiple times with um on other jobs. Could much eazier rememberd there names.
7. I miss that there was a penelty for dying, you would loose more xp the higher level you was, and it would take while to get that back, you could actually delvl and not beable to use some of your gear or spells till you got your level back.
8. I miss the really slow leveling curve, you'de get like around 100 xp per kill and get abit more with kill chains, but as you level the xp for next level would increase, but your xp per kill was always the same. At lvl 70 it took like 6 hours or more to level.

Wait... what??
Wait... what??
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Always actively root against Vitor, even when he was fighting Bisping. Here's hoping Chael guzzles him with cardio. But hey, maybe one of their names is on that BioGenesis lists and the fight will be moot. It isn't like either of these fighters have been popped before or can't afford it. Also, it isn't like one trains in the region.....
Dana White suggests Rashad Evans, not Chael Sonnen, might be next for Vitor Belfort
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champion, Vitor Belfort, said he would rather return to a higher weight class than hang around at middleweight and throw hands against Strikeforce import Tim Kennedy.
Well, that's just fine with UFC President Dana White.
"Then let's do him and Rashad (Evans)," White told reporters at yesterday's promotional world tour. "He doesn't want to fight Tim Kennedy? Let's fight Rashad at 205."
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Shogun's BJJ isn't underrated. Fighters have more knowledge and defense nowadays.
If Shogun unveils the grappling he showed in the Vera fight, he is going to be in trouble.
I truly hate all of this.

Thanks to a grant from the Ohio Attorney General's Office, Scioto County and the city of Portsmouth will split $277,000 for demolition projects.
The funding was made available through the 'Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program Fund.'
According to the grant information, "Attorney General Mike DeWine announces the launch of a new grant program to assist communities in their economic recovery by removing blighted or abandoned structures to reclaim our neighborhoods. Attorney General DeWine believes this is the first step in our housing recovery and is unique in devoting substantial resources to a demolition program. $75 million has been allocated among all of Ohio's counties to achieve the maximum number of demolitions of blighted or abandoned residential structures."
On Tuesday the Scioto County Commissioners approved a list of seven houses that are slated to be razed in New Boston and Washington Township.
"The Village of New Boston, and the Scioto County Health Department have condemned the following properties as unfit for human habitation and a threat to health and safety. The Scioto County Commissioners will proceed to demolish these properties thirty days after this notice," a resolution passed by the commissioners stated.
The houses in New Boston include, 3753 Gallia Street, 1420 Lakeview Avenue and 304 Ohio Avenue.
The houses in Washington Township include, 1625 10th street, 210 Shump Street, 1445 Washington Blvd. and 1524 Washington Blvd.
Fritz Leighty, a consultant with the Scioto County Commissioners, said the houses that will be razed will have a lien placed on the property for the costs incurred.
"We (Scioto County) are targeting West Portsmouth and New Boston with our portion of the money," Leighty said.
"We are estimating about 13 or 14 houses will be able to be taken down with this money," said Tracy Shearer, Portsmouth's economic development director.
She said this money is in addition to $150,000 allocated in this year's CIP budget to tear down houses.

I am a past employee of the True North Wilderness Program (TNWP) working as a lead field guide before leaving on very good terms. My family is also a current abutting neighbor with the TNWP campus. I am writing this letter in support of True North with the hope that it will reflect both an internal and external perspective of the TNWP.
Beyond developing lasting personal friendships and gaining a great amount of field experience as a wilderness guide, the overall professionalism of the staff and work environment at True North is that of respect and diligence. The Valley needs responsible business leaders in our neighborhood as a way to cultivate good economy, as well as create jobs to draw younger professionals to our area. TNWP promotes both, developing business for local retailers, hotels, B&Bs, and restaurants by providing their clients and their families with local recommendations, while also promoting jobs for recent college graduates to work as field guides, program leaders, etc. While the numbers can be specific, one of the most important factors is that the company is responsible to their community and to their employees.
As a neighbor, given our location and proximity to the Dana Hill campus, we are likely the most affected by the True North operations. We share the same driveway and see each other's vehicles around once a day. In the five years that True North has been operating, not once did we feel taken advantage of, have always been greeted with respect, and ultimately have always felt safe with their staff and their students. I have heard some contention regarding the ability of their students to maintain a safe environment and must reiterate that never has there ever been an issue regarding safety for myself or my family. The children that are attending the program are screened based upon their character and are being sent to True North based upon their own will. This is far from juvenile detention, and frankly, I'd be more afraid of drunken or rash behavior from ski tourists than from any of the kids I've met or mentored.
I'm excited to see that True North wants to expand its operations, increase their working environment for the benefit of their students, and ultimately be a responsible business for the community by having ample space to run their programs in an environmentally safe manner. As a guide, it was a pleasure to camp in the woods with kids who are looking for answers, listening to birds in the morning, owls at night, and following the tracks during the day. As a neighbor and avid environmentalist, we are thrilled to be able to walk in our shared forests and see the signs of nature, appearing to be unfettered due to TNWP's "Leave No Trace" policy.
We must remember that there is no better classroom than nature, where every distraction is a learning opportunity.

I wrote that and missed the post by BBill on the Rock Rivers.
Go back too the site where you bought the ammo. I want too see your review of the stuff.
O.K. o.k. I got a bad batch of Seillor and Bellot 9mm. So I will stop teasing you.. Every 5th round went bang.
When the ad reads. "No return on this ammo"
I guess they are trying too tell us something.
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
i pulled the bullets on 10 rounds and measured the powder-- and compared the amount to one wolf 55grain load.
4 rounds very low on powder
3 rounds all-most enough
3 rounds a small bit over.
could be a comedy of errors going on here-- i won't know for sure till a test fire some more. i am going to use the 16"m4 charles daily upper. the shortie upper with a new buffer tube set up. and i am going to fire a few rounds out of the AK . i'll also do some testing with the crono.
another thing that may be helping screw things up is my little $30 CAR stock. it is a UTG china part that i just added to give the xm-177 the correct look.
when i test fired it before and it ran great with the golden bear it had a m4 stock & tube.
on measuring the buffer tube on the UTG it is a bit shorter than the m4 adjustable --just under 1/2 an inch shorter. with a shorter tube the spring is going to have more pressure against the buffer & bolt.
i think this combined with the spotty ammo is the problem with shortie.this may be why i had a short stroke with the golden bear that had run so well with before.
i'll give the tula a try in the m4 type and the ak and see if they have any problems with the stuff.
sometimes you got to backtrack a "change" to correct a glitch.
ok just got back from a few more test rounds.
results from the 16" CD 2,830 fps, 2890fps, 2690fps, 2720fps, 2,910fps, 2,650fps ,2707fps, 2780fps, 2783fps, 2691fps
speeds form the 16" ak barrel about the same.
the speeds the tula is giving from a 16" are far short of the 3150fps claimed. if this ammo was worth a shit we would be seeing much closer to 3,000 fps from the 16 inch barrels. ALL the test speeds are lower than their supposed to be.
speeds from the 11.5" are even worse--so bad i don't want to print them!
the CD 16" ate the rounds up without fuss as did the AK. no malfunctions or short strokes. i did only 40 rounds each so i might have got lucky and 80 rounds that would cycle??
after the tune up with the very weak recoil spring, a new longer buffer tube and a light weight buffer the 11.5" will nearly run the stuff, i fired 40 rounds and got two empty chambers from short stroking.
it would take a very light spring to get shortie to work with this ammo.
this ammo is right on the margin for use in a AR-15 type rifle. it is really not optimal for an AK either due to low velocities but the AK is a bit more forgiving of bad ammo than an AR is.
i don't know if ALL tula ammo is this bad. i might have just got a bad lot. but i would hate to be in a fighting position and depending on this crap.
i don't think i'll be buying any more of this. my advice spend a few more bucks on wolf, golden bear, silver bear, reloads--anything. even though i have got this to work in the 16" it certainly ain't trustworthy and will all ways be suspect. even an adjustable gas block or enlarging the gas port wouldn't be ideal because the ammo varies so much from one round to the next.
accuracy was ok. i was able to hit cans and bottles @75- 80m with ease off hand with the 11.5" --open sights no less.
on the ak & 16" barrel CD i also noticed big fireballs out of the muzzle every so often like the powder is burning way too slow?
some weird acting ammo that's for sure.
lookout bill!
some of this tula being shipped is very bad ammo. it acts like the powder is wet!
some of the rounds i fired through the 11.5" barrel were down in the rim-fire velocities! no wonder it is short-stroking!
i think i am going to use this crap as AK fodder. and i'll bet even the mighty AK cant run the last 300 some odd rounds i got of this stuff without some jams or short cycles.
i believe this is the worst ammo i have ever bought. it is making that old greek 223 i bought that used re-packaged powder form some very old 8mm mauser ammo look good!
you might have got lucky and got a good batch. looks like i got the batch made after a really wild party with lots of vodka being consumed!
if you can't get the 75 grain try the 63gr--i have had very good experiences with the 63 grain gold/silver bear and wolf. a little extra bullet mass kind of keeps the pressure up a handy feature with some of this slow burning made of god knows what russian powder.
i wouldn't be suprised if the russians didn't outsource their powder and keep all the good stuff for their own use!
i ran some 40gr loads accidently therough the 11.5" upper the other day--way too light to cycle even though they were hot-loads otherwise.
but even they cycled better in the 11.5" than this tula 55gr stuff!

Our New Home
The Natural History Museum of Utah is pleased to be open in our new home, the Rio Tinto Center, to serve as the state's new natural history museum building. Located in the foothills above Salt Lake City, the building is an accomplishment of the community and will serve to further the Museum's mission; to illuminate the natural world and humans place within it.
Now offering Architecture Tours - Click here for more information!
The Rio Tinto Center
Nestled into the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range, the Rio Tinto Center rests on a series of terraces that follow the contours of the hillside, blending into the environment. The building is located along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a popular location for hiking and mountain biking, which serves as the Museum's "main street".
The building is immediately recognizable due to the 42,000 square feet of standing seam copper that wraps the exterior of the building. The copper, mined from Kennecott Utah Copper's Bingham Canyon Mine located across the Salt Lake Valley from the new Museum site, is installed in horizontal bands of various heights to represent the layered rock formations seen throughout Utah.
Photos of the Rio Tinto Center are available on the Museum's Facebook page. These should be viewable whether or not you use Facebook.
A Gathering Place
Visitors enter the Level 1 Foyer to purchase admission and register for events. From there, they climb the main staircase, or take an elevator, to emerge in the main lobby area, which we call the Canyon. Three-stories high and featuring a Collections Wall displaying over 500 objects from the Museum's collection, the Canyon is our central public and gathering space.
From the Canyon, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the Salt Lake Valley, begin to explore the Museum's Trailhead to Utah system, enter the exhibit galleries, or enjoy the Museum Store and Cafe.
Beyond the public areas of the Rio Tinto Center, the building provides advanced research and collection facilities for Museum scientists who oversee the care and curation of more than 1.5 million objects in the Museum's collection. The collections and research areas are the core of the institution and feature sophisticated climate control and other means of protecting the collection, and a venue for undergraduate and graduate training at the University of Utah.
Case Study for Sustainable Development
The building and surrounding grounds have been designed and built according to the standards for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification. From the pervious pavement of the parking lot to solar photovoltaic panels on the rooftops, the Museum worked with our architecture and construction teams to incorporate green elements throughout the design, construction, and operations of the building.
More About Sustainability at NHMU
Successful Community Partnership
Construction of the Rio Tinto Center is a result of a successful public/private partnership to raise the total cost of $102.5 million for the project. The funding came from the federal government, the Utah State Legislature, a bond supported by the voters of Salt Lake County, and over $44 million raised through individual, corporate and foundation philanthropic support. The Museum's building is named the Rio Tinto Center due to the naming-level donation from Kennecott Utah Copper / Rio Tinto which included the donation of the copper used in the building's facade.
Natural History from the Ground Up
With the opening of the Rio Tinto Center, Utah has the natural history museum that a state rich in natural history and assets deserves. A visit to the Museum allows visitors to explore nature and science in ten themed galleries, and to also step outdoors to experience nature as it's revealed just outside the building. The exhibits and the Trailhead to Utah encourage visitors to explore nature and science at other museums, national and state parks, and destinations around the state. And the Museum is passionate about studying science and engaging visitors in current research with a vision toward the future of life in our dynamic and growing region.

The Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce's large business of the year only earned half of its performance-based fee award for fiscal year 2012, according to information from the National Nuclear Safety Administration.
Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility contractor Shaw AREVA MOX Services earned about $4.4 million in award fees in fiscal year 2012 out of $8.7 million available, according to documents released recently.
The poor grade earned the MOX project just 50.4 percent of a possible $8,715,465, according to the company's notification letter from National Nuclear Safety Admistration, which gave them "an overall rating of satisfactory."
The MOX project only achieved this rating in one area after a requested reevaluation of "Engineering and Construction Effectiveness."
"As a result, the Fee Determination Official has changed the rating in this area from 'Unsatisfactory' to 'Satisfactory' with a revised score of 1% which equates to an increase in the award fee amount $13,073."
The MOX Project's scores were radically differently across all areas. It received 100 percent in "Health and Safety, Environmental," 80 percent in "Community Outreach" and "MOX Fuel Codes." But languished at 10 percent in Project Management and Business Systems" and 1 percent in "Engineering and Construction."
The one-of-a-kind project, being built to turn 34 metric tons of weapon plutonium into fuel for commercial reactors, saw its cost dramatically expand in the fiscal year 2012 period.
Other contractors at the Department of Energy-owned site faired much better in fiscal year 2012. Management and operations contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions earned almost 85 percent or $41,492,503 of its performance-based incentive award, of a possible $48,950,000.
Security contractor WSI-Savannah River and liquid waste contractor Savannah River Remediation both received 97 percent of their possible awards.

If you'd met me four months ago, you'd have seen a happily pregnant 41 year old African woman enjoying life in the heart of Africa. Pearlita was an unexpected baby. My husband and I were content with our two kids and had gotten to a point where we were focusing on "other things" in life. However, we were both ecstatic when we realized that I was expecting another baby. We felt that she was a gift from God and we started including her in our dreams for the future. We loved her from the moment we knew she existed and my hubby gave her a goodnight kiss every single night and told her that he loved her. My first trimester was a bit rocky and I struggled a lot with morning sickness. The second trimester was uneventful. I was extremely busy at work (I'm a school teacher) and for some reason had been given an unusually busy teaching schedule which kept me extremely busy both at work and at home. I was constantly tired but felt that I was coping well with the pregnancy and the workload. My antenatal visits were uneventful and the midwife was pleased with the baby's welfare until one fine day at the start of the third trimester when she expressed some concern about my blood pressure and urine and referred me to a gynecologist. She gave me some blood pressure medication to tide me over until my appointment with the gyn. I took them when I got home, immediately threw up violently and gave up on them not realizing the implications of blood pressure and the fact that I was preeclamptic. Ignorance is one thing but I now wonder whether there might have been an element of "denial" i.e. "if I bury my head in the sand and pretend not to see what's happening it will just go away." Anyway, I did see a gyn a few days later. He went through my file from the midwife and sent me home with some more bp meds saying that I would be put on bed-rest if things got any worse. He examined my most recent ultrasound results and said that the baby was now grown enough to survive an early induction if need be. He didn't seem particularly concerned.
Needless to say, about a week later, in what I assumed was my 31st week of pregnancy (though apparently the baby was 26 weeks ges), I was feeling restless and tired ,and had a headache as well as as abdominal pains. My husband rushed me to hospital where I was promptly admitted and put on magnesium sulfate, and a catheter to monitor my urine. The gyn said I'd have had a seizure if I'd failed to go to hospital that evening. I was told I had severe preeclampsyia. I was closely monitored in hospital for the next three days and my blood pressure was treated with methyldopa. I was starting to realize the significance of my situation and using the hospital free wifi, found the preeclampsyia foundation for the first time. I started to educate myself even as the hospital staff continued to monitor me closely. At this point, ultra sound results indicated that the baby was fine and her heartbeat was closely monitored by the nurses. They gave me steroid injections to strengthen Pearlita's lungs in anticipation of a possible early delivery.
On the 2nd of April this year, the midwife on morning duty expressed some concern about Pearlita's heartbeat which was kind of faint. She summoned a gyn who examined me, listened to the baby's heartbeat and said she was "struggling." He examined my cervix after I mentioned seeing a discharge of mucus that morning. The gyn said I was in the early stages of labour and that the best delivery option at that particular moment was a c-section due to the baby's weak heartbeat. As I was prepared for an emergency c-section, I called my husband who had rushed home to shower and check on our kids. He rushed back to the hospital,scrubbed and joined me in the delivery room. He was there as Pearlita came silently into this world and he filmed everything. Although she was alive, she did not cry. Her lungs had not yet developed sufficiently and she failed to respond to the additional steroid injections that she was given after birth. My husband kept vigil as I recovered from the C-Section and Pearlita struggled in NICU. She's daddy's baby since he's the one who was with her in NICU. Our angel passed away the following day. I never got to see her in person or to hold her in my arms yet I feel her spirit even now. I love and grieve for her more deeply than I've ever grieved for anyone or anything.
I've struggled a lot both physically and emotionally since the loss of my dear daughter. At some point, I was so sick I visited the hospital virtually everyday and could hardly even walk. I was on blood pressure medication and bought a bp monitor so I could check my pressure at home. I suffered anxiety attacks and depression and was put on valium by one doctor though I asked to be taken off it after reading about its side effects. Another doctor put me on prozac which helped me to get that much needed sleep though sleeplessness set in once I was done with the prozac. Somehow, I ended up with gastritis which caused me excruciating pain. My heart palpitated madly. I thought I was going insane and doubted that I would survive. My doc said I was now chronic hypertensive. I was put on amlodipin which caused my heart to flutter dangerously. My kids were grieving too and life was so dark and full of sadness. Since I don't live in my country of birth, I had no family around me. I have very few friends here. My mum came for a few days but had to go back home to look after my dad who has also been unwell recently. My colleagues rallied around me and sent emails, cards etc. They organized meals for my family and some of them came to visit. My students made me a card. My husband has been my anchor since we lost Pearlita. I don't know what I would have done without him. I've also received some counseling and have been journaling and visiting grief sites online and reading about the experiences of other mothers who've struggled with preeclampsyia. Slowly the dark cloud has lifted and there's a glimmer of hope in the distance .
Although life is taking on some appearances of normalcy and I'm starting to function, I still feel the loss of my daughter deeply. I take responsibility for my ignorance and know that if I'd been better informed I'd have insisted on being hospitalized or put on bed-rest early enough. Having read the stories of mothers who've lost their babies despite early interventions (in countries with much better medical care than where I live), I realize that there's no guarantee that Pearlita would still be here despite earlier interventions. However, there's always that nagging "what if" and that ever consuming feeling of guilt, sadness and anger.
My heart and arms ache for my baby. My greatest fear as I've recovered from PE has concerned the well being of my family since my husband's currently studying and I'm the main breadwinner. I wonder what would have happened to them if I had lost my life to PE. I know that I'm not completely out of the woods yet. My bp isn't too bad but my medication has been stopped temporarily due to the side effects of the meds. I know that as a PE survivor I'm more susceptible to cardiovascular complications. For this reason, I cannot risk another pregnancy, yet my heart longs for a baby - not to replace Pearlita but to ease the ache in my heart. If you're a mother and a grieving one at that, you know how it feels to long for a baby. It's early days and I know I'm still grieving but I've already talked to social workers about the possibility of adoption.
Have you been where I am? Have you you blamed yourself for not doing "enough"to save your baby's life? Have you cried so much it hurt? Has your heart felt so heavy and broken? Have your days felt so dark and pointless? Have you felt so sick that you didn't know if you'd live to see a new morning? Have you woken up in the wee hours of the morning with this feeling of dread and despair? Have you been so scared for your living kids simply because you'd lost a baby and realized that kids die? Have you been ashamed and afraid of returning to work and felt that the whole world was blaming you for the death of your baby? Have you taken medications that left nasty side effects and made your heart flutter and thunder? Have you wanted a baby so so bad? Have you felt really sad whenever you saw a family with a young baby or a happily pregnant woman? Have you ever felt that God had deserted you and that you were all alone? Have you ever sat down and deeply deeply regretted your ignorance? I've experienced all of this thanks to Preeclampsyia. My dream is to ensure that no woman in my side of the world goes into a pregnancy blindly without knowing what the implications are and what to look out for. I want to ensure that there's sufficient informational material out there for both rural and urban African women and that medical workers are sensitized about the need to inform and guide their patients appropriately. My midwife did her best but it wasn't enough because I wasn't well informed. The patient is not safe until the patient knows and understands. Knowledge is power and I want African women to be empowered such that maternal and infant morbidity rates can decrease in our continent. I don't know how I'll do this but I'll try my best because if I knew then what I know now, maybe, just maybe, Pearlita would be alive and I'd be a happy mother of three living kids.

Man wounded in shooting outside Cardinals stadium
GLENDALE, Ariz. -� Police in Glendale say a man shot in a stadium parking lot altercation during an Arizona Cardinals game has non-life threatening injuries.
Police spokeswoman officer Tracey Breeden says the shooting appears to be "fan based" but would provide no other details. She said Saturday that both men were wearing NFL insignia clothing.
Breeden says a man called police during the second-half of Friday night's Cardinals-Oakland Raiders game saying he had accidentally shot another man. He was detained for questioning but released pending more investigation.
There were few people in the University of Phoenix Stadium overflow parking lot because the shooting happened during the game. She didn't know if the men had attended the game or were there to view it in a nearby hotel or bar.

"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Thanks Una - It looks like what I need to do is get the kids refurbished or inexpensive iPods rather then paying these download fees everytime they want to burn a CD. That could get expensive. And these IPods seem to have varying memory capabilities that allows you to down load alot of songs into it for playing. Which I am assuming you can wipe it out when you're ready, download more, and keep repeating the process.Originally Posted by Unassisted
They are gonna be mowing alot of yeards and other chores to earn them badboys and pay Dad back.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
An "iPod" is exactly what you say...but somewhat more. Since it has a hard drive (or flash drive), it is basically a "limited" computer. If you learn how to use it, you can store files on it and even use it for calendar and other purposes (á la PDA). One variation (iPod Photo) can be used to carry and show off your pictures. Apple and Motorola recently introduced a ipod-phone (100 songs).Originally Posted by GAC
Apple makes the "iPod" which has become a standard of sorts, but other manufacturers (Dell and many others) have similar devices, with the same (or similar) functionality.
Im partial to the pod, because I'm partial to macs (I guess). However, many windows users agree that the ipod (and iTunes) is the best out there for ease of use and features. I have an ipod (20 GB, third generation, as in "last year"), my daughter has an ipod mini (4 GB), which she takes to school. Calculate about 250 songs per GB.
My iPod is in the car most of the time and it has practically the entire family's music collection. With an FM Transmitter, we can listen to my wife's stuff (Latin), my kid's stuff (punk rock) or my stuff thru the car stereo. I just downloaded the latest Harry Potter Audiobook and will be listening to that when I travel.
Oh, I didn't mention. When you get an ipod, one thing you do is to import all your CDs (or those you want), into iTunes (and from there to the pod). Beats carrying CDs around.
As to which one to buy, the variables are capacity, portability and price.
If you want to carry ALL your stuff around (or put the pod in the car). I'd get a large capacity ipod. 20 GB goes for$299 and 60 GB for $399 (you have to have lots of CDs to fill that one up).
For your kids, if you want to win "Dad of the year", i'd get the new ipod nano. 4GB for $249.
If you want to jog with this thing, get the ipod shuffle 512 MB - $99.
Apple's site can help.
As for songs...if you want to do it cheap, buy used CDs on Amazon.com ($5 or less including shipping) and import them. Otherwise, the iTunes music store is very easy to navigate. 99cents, but no monthly fees and you can Burn your CDS.
After a while, you won't be burning CDs anymore.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
I must add. You do NOT need an iPod to use iTunes and the iTunes Store.
You can download iTunes for FREE, use it import your CDs, or buy songs from the store.
You can burn CDs and mix and match stuff from your CDs and downloaded stuff.
You might want to start there.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Thanks oneupper -that is what I thought. Why burn CDs when you can take the Pod with you that has it all.
How does it hook into your existing car stereo system? Do you have to have a newer system that has the capability? My cars simply have combo radio/cassette players.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
I understand. But if I don't have an iPod, then all I can do is listen on my computer right? But that is free? The only time I pay a fee is if I want to burn it to CD or download to an iPod?Originally Posted by oneupper
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Like oneupper, we have FM transmitters to play them through the car stereo or my son's boombox.Originally Posted by GAC
I've been considering the purchase of standalone battery-powered speakers to use to listen without headphones. It's also possible to plug computer speakers into the headphone jack for that purpose.
So you're saying I would need to buy a separate FM transmitter with the capability to play the iPod - it can't be hooked up via my existing radio?
Here in Ohio - it is illegal to listen with headphones in the car while driving (I got stopped once for it ).
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
To listen to entire songs, you must pay for the download at the iTunes store. The only thing that's free is the iTunes software, the podcasts and the 30-second samples that let you browse and preview songs before you pay to download.Originally Posted by GAC
Once you pay for and download music there, you can load it into the iPod or burn it onto a CD. I think you can only burn each song to CD 5 times.
If you have MP3s that you've acquired from your Kazaa days, you can upload or burn them at will with the iTunes software.
The software is free. Give it a try. I think you'll like it.
The FM transmitter is a separate purchase. Many companies make transmitters that are smaller than the iPod. A few car stereo manufacturers make models that you can directly wire an iPod to.Originally Posted by GAC
You could also use a cassette adaptor to wire the iPod to the car stereo if the car stereo has a cassette player.
My kid saved up his allowance for months to get his iPod. He wasn't too pleased when I bought my nearly identical refurb for $40 less than he paid.Originally Posted by GAC
I have a couple of those that I use with portable CD players that I have bought, so as to listen to CD's in the car. Same thing? That is what I'd like to do with an IPod if I get one. That is where I would get the most use out of it - while in my car.Originally Posted by Unassisted
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
there is no charge from Yahoo to download(other that the monthly subsription). The .79 is if you want to burn the song to a CD. If you are downloading and transferring to a compatible player there is no charge.Originally Posted by GAC
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
BTW there are cheaper MP3 players out there too, ones that sit on mac only formats.
I have a Rio.

Garnet Hill Lodge Accommodations in the Adirondacks
Lodge Room Photos
One recent guest had this to say about their stay at Garnet Hill Lodge:
Hi Mindy and Don,
My name is Juan Dominguez. Elizabeth and I spent the weekend. I just wanted you to know the place is fabulous. You and your staff are simply the best; the ambiance, the lodge, the rooms and the whole experience was great. I can't thank you enough, thank you, thank you...
I wanted to mention how extraordinary Donna was. I had asked her if I could get breakfast in bed, I wanted to surprise my Elizabeth but she told me you didn't have that service available. It was okay, but Donna remembered and told me the next day that she was working the morning shift and asked me for my order and that she would have it delivered to me. Well she did it. The food was displayed in such a nice way and she delivered it personally.
Thank you so much for having her, your staff is amazing, again thank you. We will be back, take care and please continue to do what you love."
The Log House
Your Adirondack vacation begins at
The Log House Lodge
: Walking in you are greeted by the spaciousness of a great hotel, the warmth of a rustic Adirondack mountain lodge, and the friendly charm of a quaint country inn. Once inside, you're drawn either to the front where a magnificent view of Thirteenth Lake and the mountains beyond stretches 180 degrees before you, or to the dining room and its huge stone hearth and the welcoming cheer of a wood burning fire within.
The garnet stone fireplace is ringed with rocking chairs and couches during daytime hours and intimate tables for two for evening dining and entertainment.
Also in the
Log House Lodge
is Preuninger's Pub, a cozy and inviting bar area with it's own fireplace, table tops and rustic furniture. Named for the new owner: Don Preuninger, the pub is available for guests and walk in patrons alike.
Also featured in the Lodge is a guest lounge with TV and a recreation area with games for kids and a relaxing sofa. (There are no televisions in the rooms at the LogHouse). Upstairs are sixteen lavish guest rooms, all with private baths and well appointed furnishings. The nine front rooms have balconies and a grand, panoramic view of the lake and mountains beyond.
The Birches
The Birches, decorated in true Adirondack style, is nestled in a picturesque grove of white birch trees and has five large guest rooms. These rooms can accommodate up to six people each and are great for family groups. One room in the Birches has a gas fireplace. Direct TV satellite service is available in all the Birches rooms.
"Dear Don,
I was with a group last weekend who rented the Birches lodge. Your facility is lovely and very peaceful. However, my fondest memories are not of the view nor the quiet solitude, but rather the wonderful staff you have and my positive interaction with each and every one of them.
Kudos for putting together a staff that made me feel like family.
~Mary Innes Wagner"
"Dear Don and Mindy,
We had a wonderful time at your lodge. The food was good, the staff were helpful and friendly, the trails were great and the room was perfect. I loved the area with the fireplace for warming up and sitting with a book. You had a perfect a variety of background music in the main dining area. Top on my list is how very quiet and peaceful it is in the lodge. We spent every minute we could outdoors either skiing or snowshoeing but the time spent indoors was equally as enjoyable. I will highly recommend your lodge to anyone who might inquire and I feel very fortunate to have been able to spend a few days there. Thank you again for providing a nice place for my husband and I to celebrate his 60th birthday.
~Jane Walker"
The Tea House
Just downhill from the Birches is the Tea House. The Tea House is the newest building on the Garnet Hill campus and contains four guest rooms. More modern than some of the other houses, the Tea House still preserves its Adirondack flavor. These well appointed guest rooms have whirlpool bath tubs, air conditioning, and Direct TV. Access to some of the most popular area hiking trails is within a short walk from the Tea House.

IBC Root Beer (12 oz. glass bottles, 24 pk.)
- Free Pickup
About this item
The smooth, creamy refreshment of IBC Root Beer began in 1919 with the Griesedieck family and the independent Breweries Company in St. louis, hence the name of IBC Root Beer. Development as an alternative to alcoholic beverages during prohibition, IBC Root Beer became renowned for its quality, richness and great taste. When the independent Breweries Company closed, the Kranzberg family purchased the trademark and distributed IBC Root Beer at their North-western Bottling Company, its popularity grew during the 1920s, and it was soon available at many top restaurants. In the late '30s the Kranzberg sold the IBC trademark and formula to the National Bottling Company owned by the Shucart family. After World War II, Marketing and production methods changed and IBC Root Beer's revival began after the seven-up company purchased Taylor Beverages in 1980 and increased sales and distribution throughout the Midwest and the south. Today, the tradition of the original, old fashioned 1919 taste is carried on in every Bottle of our famous IBC soft drinks. The unique, old time glass bottle makes IBC Root Beer, IBC Diet Root Beer, IBC cream Soda, IBC Black Cherry and IBC Cherry Cola stand out and all other Soft Drinks. IBC Truly is... Still the Best

Sweater c/o MR. GUGU & MISS GO
Skirt c/o BLACKFIVE
AUSTRALIAN Pumps
Statement Necklace c/o PRETTY LITTLE BLINGS
Psychedelic prints are beautifully complemented by plain colors. In this case, I stuck to a classic black skirt from BLACKFIVE.COM. You can probably pair this with almost any color of your choice. You may think it would be scary to put together so many colors in one look, but this could work to create something really fun! Personally, I think it would go great with a green or blue pencil skirt. Red would probably be a nice option too. Maybe some colors to stay away from are those in the same scheme as the main hue. For instance, I'd avoid wearing pinks and yellows with this top, just so I won't blind anyone on the way with too much brightness. As always, it's all about balance and feeling comfortable in whatever sytle, cut, or color you wear!
Enjoy your styling!

Meandering and Musing: Where do friends go?
7 comments:
Susan, your thoughtful article prompts me to recall a Bible verse: "Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend..." from the beginning of Proverbs 27:10.ReplyDelete
I always noted that "father's friend" because my dad had a fantastic friend who meant so much to the family.
Thought provoking post, I will go and think and ponder and contemplate.ReplyDelete
I am overwhelmed with this post. I can literally FEEL the emotion and appreciate your mention of my posts. I think having read your post that we both experienced some similar emotions when putting our posts together. I love this one and it's making me think of my childhood best friend who just so happens to live in St. Louis.
Does this highlight the difference between genealogy and family history? Family history certainly would include the friends of our ancestors but because there's no blood relationship, they can't be added to a family tree. I know they're important and perhaps the best place to include them is in the narratives we write about our ancestors.ReplyDelete
Great post, Susan. Sometimes I see the names of people who witnessed a will or were named godparents of a child and wonder about what they meant to the family. It's hard to figure that out unless I'm lucky enough to have some letters or a diary. I guess that's why it's important to write about our own friends, so these legacies won't be lost when we're gone.ReplyDelete
What a post. Friends. *sigh* Without friends looking out for a friend, I would never have been introduced to my husband. And after all these years, his friends have become my friends, and aunt and uncle to my kids. What record is there of this relationship? One that I will have to write up, asap. And I will continue to dig between the lines of vital statistics in search of my ancestors' friends. Thanks for this post.ReplyDelete
I love this post. Friends are so important in our lives and knowing my name comes from my grandmother's best friend makes my search for her so important. I think my grandmother would approve.ReplyDelete
When I have my students create a family cookbook, I also tell them my definition of family - the people you love and the people who love you.

Downton Abbey
Tyler Perry's Downton Abbey-Esque TV Show Will Premiere in May
Upstairs-downstairs drama is back in style in a big way, thanks to the success of PBS's Downton Abbey. (Season 3 premieres tonight, by the way.)
According to TV Guide, Tyler Perry has two new original series premiering May 29 on Oprah Winfrey's OWN, including the Downton-esque The Haves and the Have Nots, a one-hour drama which will "focus on the dynamics and secrets of the wealthy Cryer family and of the family of their maid, Hanna." The TV show is based on the play created by Perry.
A casting call was posted back in October; the show will reportedly be filmed in Atlanta this spring. Will you watch, when it debuts in May?

The world-class EcoTec3 5.3L V8 engine offers better fuel economy than any competitor – an estimated 23 MPG highway for 2WD models – without sacrificing performance. The strong, efficient EcoTec3 V8 generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, so you have ample towing capability and power. E85 is not compatible with this engine.
Direct Injection determines the precise measure of highly pressurized fuel to inject into each cylinder to boost power and fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.
At cruising speeds when full engine power isn't needed, Active Fuel Management™ (AFM) deactivates cylinders, effectively turning the EcoTec3 V8 engine into a 4-cylinder. When it senses the need for full power, AFM instantly reengages all cylinders.
Variable Valve Timing helps ensure Suburban performs at optimum power and efficiency. It continuously adjusts valve timing to keep the EcoTec3 engine operating near peak output, while minimizing emissions.

Thank you, Nealey. Buckie ha a lot of medical problems, but we took him and made his life the best we could. Nona was a puppy mill. They think she had 6 to 8 litters in her first 6 years of life. She is out of that business now. Big black dogs, like Bear, are hard to place and he was so sweet at the shelter, which is a high kill one, that someone post him on FB and my wife saw his story and called bout him. He had made friends with a little dog that was scared. So they were looking for a home for him because he was so sweet. Lucky us and him.

"NEIGHBOR BOY" GRAPHITE ON PAPER 8 1/2 " x 10"
I couldn't draw him within bars!! He seems so happy, I thought bubbles were more fitting. I was trying to make an interesting composition. Don't know how successful I was.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Nealey, great job, you nailed him. I love the bubbles! My little one keeps saying " bubbles" whenever we go outside so I spend a lot of time blowing them!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Nealey, great job. I like the bubbles too.
SOrry guys, it is probably best that this month is carried over, as currently I'm experiencing a lot of backlogging of emails and work to be done. This therefore means I am unable to put my attention to delivering a new set of photos for you.
C&c are welcome! Love what you do.
Love who you are. Love nature. Love art.
Nealey great job! The bubbles are great and a perfect likeness. Thunk, thanks for considering hosting. We now will all have another month to attempt this challenge.
C&Cs always welcome
I am just going thru. The motions to post my entry in this competition, am correct?
How do I upload photo of my painting
Just back home....
not a full still life but better than nothing.....painted some time ago. Water-colour
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hello Charlie,
lamp well observed and painted, dogs have character, collect my dog Piper from the kennels tomorrow..
Nealey, another sensitive drawing from you...not quite as positive as the grandchild...still very,very good.
Sarah, thank you and VERY good work on the leaves and the berries.
Sarah, welcome back! Hope you had a good vacation and decent weather and that your brollie & wellies didn't get over-used. This is another fine WC of the rasberries (?). They make my mouth water for them!
Thank you to Jen and Charlie and Karen and Sarah for commenting on Marsha's neighbor child. I don't personally like portraits with the teeth showing, so this was a real challenge to not give him a "cartoonish" feel.
Thanks Charlie and Nealey,
ONE dry day in the week Nealey.. poured with rain and my trip was all about viewing famous gardens! Hardly any sketching done as we were outdoors 90% of the time.
Yes, they are raspberries.
The drawing of the child certainly didn't look cartoonish so you definitely achieved your goal.
Still life by Marsha,thanks Marsha, VERY nice photo, a challenge for me. As you can see I made some modifications, I just could not
handle the lace

Does there exist an algorithm which computes the Galois group of a polynomial $p(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$? Feel free to interpret this question in any reasonable manner. For example, if the degree of $p(x)$ is $n$, then the algorithm could give a set of permutations $\pi \in Sym(n)$ which generate the Galois group.
There is an algorithm described in an ancient and interesting book on Galois Theory by Eugene Dickson. Here is a brief sketch in the case of an irreducible polynomial $f\in \mathbb{Q}[x]$.
Suppose that $z_1\ldots z_n$ are the roots of $f$ in some splitting field of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. (We don't need to construct the splitting field. The $z_i$ are mentioned here for the sake of explanation.) Let $x_1\ldots x_n$ be indeterminates. For a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$, let $$E_\sigma=x_1z_{\sigma(1)}+\ldots+ x_n z_{\sigma(n)}.$$ Let $g(x):=\prod _{\sigma} (x-E_\sigma)$, where $\sigma$ runs through all permutations in $S_n$. Each coefficient $c_i$ of $x^i$ in $g$ is symmetric in $z_1 \ldots z_n$, so (using the theorem on symmetric functions) we can write $c_i$ as a polynomial in $x_1\dots x_n$ with rational coefficients.
Assuming that this has been done, factor $g$ into irreducibles over the ring $\mathbb{Q}[x_1 \ldots x_n]$. Let $g_0$ be the irreducible factor of $g$ that is satisfied by $E_{Id}$, where $Id$ is the identity permuation. Then the galois group of $f$ consists of all permutations of $x_1\ldots x_n$ that fix $g_0$.
The point is that the computation of $g_0$ is effective (albeit horrendous) and so is the determination of the permutations that fix $g_0$.
There is an essentially different algorithm from the ones mentioned above, due to N. Durov:
the algorithm is probabilistic, based on Chebotarev density theorem, and requires some random data as input; as far as I know, the algorithm ends with probability 1 for all equations provided that the Riemann hypothesis is true.
I have been told by Frank Sottile that the reason many computer algebra systems only do low degrees is the following: Let $H$ be a subgroup of $S_n$ and suppose that we want to test whether $\mathrm{Gal}(f)$ is contained in a conjugate of $H$. One can use the following test: As in SJR's answer, let $z_1$, $z_2$, ..., $z_n$ be the roots of $f$. Choose some low degree monomial $m:=\prod z_i^{a_i}$ and let $q = \sum_{h \in H} h(m)$. If the Galois group is contained in $H$, then $q$ will be rational. Let $F(t) = \prod_{g \in G/H} (t-g(q))$. The polynomial $F$ has rational coefficients and is computable using symmetric polynomials. Using the rational root theorem, it is "easy" to test whether $F$ has a rational root. ("Easy" is in quotes because it involves prime factorization, but my understanding was that this is not the bottleneck.) If it does for several choices of $m$, then it is highly plausible that $\mathrm{Gal}(f)$ is contained in a conjugate of $H$.
For small $n$, the lattice of subgroups of $S_n$ is such that, by running tests of this sort, you can rapidly zoom in on a candidate for $\mathrm{Gal}(f)$. Once you hit $n=11$, you run into the Matheiu groups. At least as of a year ago, when Frank and I discussed this, he was very interested in finding good algorithms to test whether a Galois group was a subgroup of a Matheiu group.
The comments and SJR's answer show that there are indeed algorithms to compute this. But all of these suggestions are so far from effective, they can only be considered 'existence proofs' of an algorithm.
This is in fact a very active area of research, although it seems that most of this work has fallen completely under the radar of mainstream mathematicians, but this has been kept alive by a rogue band of mathematicians often calling a computer science department their home. Enough polemic, on to actual results. I find Alexander Hulpke's Techniques for the Computation of Galois Groups especially enlightening. Certain subcases, like that of the symmetric and alternating groups, can be found even more quickly (see Fast recognition of alternating and symmetric Galois groups ).
Even better, there are excellent implementations of recent such algorithms in GAP. Thus these computations are doubly effective.
