Destruction and I never clicked, but you get the impression that it is almost required on this fight, so I kept going between destro and demo. Demo (ilvl 505) made it happen in the end though, knowing how to play your spec. turned out better than any destro advantages on that fight, go figure.
Popping cd's and immolate aura when the puppies are about to come out gave me all the aggro and dps I needed.
To make the puppie phase less stressful - do not wait for Katrethan to start sum the puppies before you send your pitlord away, do this earlier so you have more time to get in position, a few sec's before he start summoning does a lot to calm the situation.
Track Kat's dots with a big bar on your screen, this had a huge impact for me instead of just using the spell from the pitlord on cd, it made everything less stressful to just use the spell when needed. Same with the gateway, knowing exactly when it will work instead of hanging around the area when it "should" be off cd made it easier to grasp the fight.
Meh, today I got him down to about 5% a few times. I keep dying to the Doomlords aggroing me. I guess I should pay a bit more attention to always keep the Demonic Gateway debuff up, even before the Imps get summoned because it seems Soulshatter isn't enough. Anyway, whatever... I'll get lucky and down him sometime soon.
- - - Updated - - -
Just managed to beat him as demo after about 50 attempts. I tried as destruction, but I'm just not used to the spec and couldn't get as far. On my successful attempt I got him killed him just before the 2nd doomlord was summoned.
I will flay your mind.
Why do you feel the encounter is so well done? Mental exercise: if a device was placed to allow Pit Lord control, which classes would not be able to do the encounter?
G'nathus [NOT Warlocky] (DPS + CoEx)
Kanrethad [VERY Warlocky] (DPS + Enslave Demon + Demon Charge + Demon Siphon Life + Demon FF Breath + Shadowfury + Banish + Fear + Teleport + Gates + whatever survivability CD's you used, etc...)
That's about as short as I could make it. Anything else would just be repeating what has already been said. You have been weighed. You have been measured. And thus, you have been found lacking.
- - - Updated - - -
I will flay your mind.
You didn't answer the question. Which classes wouldn't be able to do Kanrethad?
None of the monk quests involve a boss. To my knowledge, the dreadsteed, charger, priest and hunter quests no longer exist. I admittedly have no idea what goes into the rogue quest (least favorite class and I essentially skipped Cata).
Oh, and since we are on the topic of skimming over responses, I will reiterate my main point from the last:

Do I have to define what "by default" means?And your point?
The G'nathus thing was a throwaway, half-joke line. I apologize for not being funny. I can, however, think of a few classes that would have an easier time with Kanrethad than they would with G'nathus.Oh, and since we are on the topic of skimming over responses, I will reiterate my main point from the last:
Anyway, I just killed Kanrethad yesterday. It was much easier in ilvl 486 gear than when I tried in 470.
I have to say, the few tries that I got him down to 5% and still wiped made success that much sweeter. I haven't gotten this rush from defeating a boss since my first Ragnaros kill. Indeed well done Blizzard.
- - - Updated - - -
And I don't understand your problem with controlling a Pit Lord either. Blizzard has made more boss fights in the past that required you to use a few new learned mechanics. Razorgore in BWL and Razuvious in Naxx come to mind, but I'm sure there are more. Do you also have a problem with those fights?
It's not that people enjoy this type of encounter and I don't.
It's not that people enjoy the thrill of overcoming something and I would rather enjoy the encounter itself. Some people like games like Irritating Maze for that very reason, and that's totally not my thing.
It's that people are calling this the best warlock fight ever, and to me that's like someone saying water is dry, then branding me a heretic when I protest.
BTW, did you ever end up getting Fel fire?
I will burn your soul.
I am really happy to see that people with 510/520 ilevel gear are struggling with this fight to get green fire
Blizzard did a fine job tuning this fight.
I actually agree that it's not all that special of a fight.
Sure it's warlock specific, but in the most superficial way possible. It's like the boss is all "Watch as I use this amazing ability... that you just happen to have the perfect counter to." I didn't find anything about it challenging from a how-to-approach-it perspective. I knew exactly how to counter every ability after seeing it once and maybe reading the tooltip. It was all a matter of hitting my buttons in the right order and cobbling together a few macros. I killed it after about 8 pulls, by which time I had the timing down as to be able to anticipate everything as it came.
I'm not hating on the fight and I don't have an answer for how to design a better class specific encounter, but I didn't find it to be anything special in the least. The best I can say is that at least it seemed to be more or less bug free and fairly well tuned (granted I didn't bother with it until recently so I don't know how it was when it was first release but I hear it had some issues).

6-14 -
The 2012 presidential election is still more than a year away but already the likely field of Republican primary contenders are fired up and ready for a fight.
They squared off last night (6-13) in Manchester, New Hampshire.
From the economy to foreign policy, seven republicans with their eyes on the White House got a chance to debate the issues in the nation's first primary debate.
Each candidate came with a different agenda.
For some, it was about getting their name out.
"I will be a president to do what's right, not what's politically right." - Herman Cain
"The message around the country from business leaders large and small, including manufacturers, is 'get the president off my back'. As President, I will." - Tim Pawlenty
Each participant tried to differentiate him or herself from the growing field...All taking aim at the President.
Rick Santorum says:
"He has turned his back on American allies and he has embraced our enemies."
Rep. Ron Paul:
"We should think about protecting our borders rather than the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan."
Newt Gingrich:
"It's not about what one person in America does. It's about what the American people do."
Mitt Romney, front-runner in the latest CNN/ Opinion Research Poll, defended his stance on health care, saying he would repeal Obama care.
He is often criticized for the law he signed as Massachusetts governor that became a model for national health care.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann used her podium to announce she's filed the paperwork to make her run official.
"I want to announce tonight, President Obama is a one-term President."
While their politics may differ, that's one point these seven
Republicans agree on.
Mitt Romney says:
"Anyone on this stage would be a better president than President Obama."
Another topic of agreement among the seven candidates is the economy and how that issue will be the driving force in the 2012 presidential election.

From reading an interview with Mike Morton after Badwater he talks about the doubles being a big bulk of his training. He mentions doing 12 miles at lunch followed by anotehr 13-15 at night to help the adapation. Of course that is an extreme and Morton is a freak, but he's done pretty good wtih it.ReplyDelete

Am I missing something when they say distance covered improved by similar levels? The 3x10min group had a 117.05% improvement while the 1x30min group was 107.14%. Possible conclusions I came up with are a gap of 10% either wasn't large enough to affect the statistical significance "p" or they could chalk up the marginally longer distance by the 3x10min group to having rest periods and being able to run at a higher average speed.ReplyDelete
Rest, specifically being a high or low responder to a given amount of recovery time, seems like an important factor to weigh when debating singles vs. doubles in our own training/coaching.
The cross country team I help coach, started this year running doubles to get more miles for the same reasons as you outlined in the RunningTimes article. We saw great gains at the end of the year in all of our athletes. Now these gains could have been from other workouts or a combination of many variables. However, the kids saw and believed that everything helped them get faster. The attendance at the early runs increased because the others did not want to get left behind. The athletes seemed to run faster too when the distances were split verses if the miles were done all at once.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4:23 PM
Wouldn't running singles vs. doubles effect which energy system one was using? For example, running a single 1:30 run without taking carbohydrate during the run would adapt the body to fat metabolism better than doing two :45 minute runs. This could be more advantageous for someone looking to run a marathon for instance. Or do I have that wrong?ReplyDelete
Sorry for this being completely unrelated- I am a high schooler running 45-60 miles per week. During my long run, 10-13 miles, I like to stop at the YMCA with 3 miles left in my run and strength train for 15-25 minutes just to break up the monotony. My long run/strength looks something like this- 8 miles, 3x5 Squat, 10 Pull ups, 10 Dips, 30 Push ups, 3x5 Clean, 10 Pull ups, 10 Dips, 30 Push ups, 3 miles. Is adding strength in my long run more beneficial or detrimental?ReplyDelete
For anyone tallying 70-75 miles a week, the volume is done in singles because, as Smith points out, "I think it's pointless to put on the shoes for 25 minutes." For those rising above 80, doubles are added. "If they are running 95 or more they are probably running doubles five days a week," says Smith.ReplyDelete
Daily mileage breakdown for different abilitiesReplies

I'm really interested in the singles vs doubles arguments. I'm a fairly new (just over 3 years of running) marathon runner, peaking at 85MPW. I follow Daniels, and he suggests doing doubles as soon as 50MPW.Delete
I think your table is a bit off with regards to your comment of "it's pointless to put on the shoes for 25 minutes"? The 75MPW column has singles of 9/13/9/13/9 during the week, after a 15 long run. I do a lot of double 6's, which at my paces are around 45-50 minutes, not 25 minutes. My point is it's possible to double at less than 80 MPW without reducing every run to 25 minutes.
The other factor with doubles is that for people with work and family commitments, 2 runs of 45 to 60 minutes are generally a lot more practical than a single run of 90 to 120 minutes. Personally, I could not find time for 80MPW in singles, so for me, doubles are a necessity. What I mean is that sometimes the argument is not "12 vs 2x6", but "9 vs 2x6", in which case for me doubles win out.

In the wake of yesterday's controversy, Italian game provacateurs Molleindustria have pulled their Faith Fighter game from public view.
Although it was released more than a year ago, Faith Fighter was not on the mainstream media's radar until yesterday's Metro UK reported that religious leaders of various stripes were outraged by the game, which features Mortal Kombat-like matches between deities of several popular religions.
As the controversy grew, the Associated Press reported today that the influential, Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference had called for the removal of Faith Fighter from the Internet. Accoring to the AP, the OIC called the game "incendiary in its content" and "offensive to Muslims and Christians."
In a message posted on the Faith Fighter website, Molleindustri's Paolo Pedercini blames Metro UK for "manufacturing" the controversy:
Faith Fighter was meant to be a game against intolerance that used over the top irony and a cartoonish style to express the instrumental use of religions.
Faith Fighter depicted in a mildly politically incorrect way all the major religions as a response to the one-way islamophobic satire of the Danish Mohammad cartoons.
If an established organization didn't understand the irony and the message of the game and is claiming it is inciting intolerance, we simply failed.
We suspect that people at OIC never played the game and only referred to the article on Metro UK that successfully manufactured this controversy.
Molleindustria also stopped by GamePolitics to post a comment on the controversy.

Star Party
The Portola Valley Nature and Science Committee is once again hosting a Star Party at the Town Center. This is a great opportunity to do guided viewing through telescopes provided by local amateur volunteers. Visitors are encouraged to bring warm clothes and if you need a flashlight please cover it with red cellophane and avoid pointing at people's eyes so they do not lose their dark adaptation. The event will be held between the soccer and softball fields. Stop into the Alder Room for a special storytime, craft and other astronomy related activities. There will also be a workshop for people who own telescopes and would like some help in learning how to more effectively use them for astronomy. Feel free to bring in your own equipment for some hands on help. Children and families are welcome.
Sponsored by the Nature & Science Committee & the Friends of the Portola Valley Library.

I was thinkin about makeing the switch to 2" blazers but I practace out to 80 yards. Would it be a good idea to make the switch for far distances? Witch has better control at those distances 2" or 4.5" vanes?

If you are spined properly for your set up you will have no issues with 2" Blazers. I shoot out to 100 yards quite frequently and use them with great results. Some guys will claim you need larger fletchings for better control and tighter groups. I would just have to say I respectively disagree. Its all in your tune and that includes the right spine arrow
I use 2" AAE Maxhunter Vanes and they fly great and group well at 90yds.
I agree with ontarget7. I practice out to 90 yds. and the 2" blazers perform great!
Aim small, Miss small.
I have shot 4 and 2 vanes. I am not a super great shot and in all honesty i really noticed little to no consecutive tighter groups.
I shoot 2 inch Blazers with as much helical as I can get on them, and shoot Magnus Stinger's out to 100yds(practice only) and they seem to fly and group great. (and I am far from a perfect shot)
Shoot STR8
I have shot Blazer vanes for five seasons now. They perform very well. Besides that, in my opinion with as fast as the bows are shooting now, the larger vanes are really noisey compared to the Blaser vanes. Plus they're a little lighter and stablize an arrow as good as larger vanes. I would have to agree with RUTTIN, put as much helical as you can and they will perform great. I have a couple of friends that are fletching up arrows with four Blaser vanes with alot of helical. They typically use these arrows when shooting the larger fixed blade broadheads, they claim it makes a difference in accuracey at longer ranges. I can't tell the difference, but these guys are shooting 910's at 3D tournaments. They notice every little inaccuracey, that must be why I can very bet them.

JobsOhio, the state-funded privatized development agency, grants more tax credits around Columbus, the state capital, than anywhere else in the state. According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, the discrepancy might be driven by Columbus' high growth rate and the city's proximity to the state government, which could make Columbus officials more aware of tax-credit opportunities. But Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann also blames local governments in southwest Ohio for failing to act in unison with a concerted economic plan to bring in more tax credits and jobs.
Hartmann today plans to introduce a partial restoration of the property tax return that voters were promised when they approved a half-cent sales tax hike to build Great American Ball Park and Paul Brown Stadium. The return was reduced when there wasn't enough money in the sales tax fund to pay for the stadiums last year, but there might be enough money now to give property taxpayers more of their money back. It was unclear as of Sunday how much money someone with a $100,000 home would get back under Hartmann's plan.
Hamilton County's Tax Levy Review Committee will recommend a tax levy for the Cincinnati Museum Center only if a few conditions are met, including transfer of ownership of the Union Terminal from the city to a new, to-be-formed entity and allocation of public and private funds to renovate and upkeep the terminal in a sustainable fashion.
City Council last week asked the city administration to find and allocate $30,000 for the winter shelter, which would put the shelter closer to the $75,000 it needs to remain open between mid-to-late December and February. The shelter currently estimates it's at approximately $32,000, according to Josh Spring, executive director of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. The city administration now needs to locate the money and turn the transaction into an ordinance that needs City Council approval and would make the allocation of funds official. To contribute to the winter shelter, go to tinyurl.com/WinterShelterCincinnati and type in "winter shelter" in the text box below "Designation (Optional)" before making a donation.
Defense contractor Lockheed Martin announced Thursday that it plans to cut about 500 jobs
in Akron, Ohio. State officials were apparently aware of the plan
in October but underestimated how quickly Lockheed Martin would carry
out the cuts. Ohio Democrats jumped on the opportunity to mock JobsOhio
for failing to move at the "speed of business," as Republicans claim
only the privatized development agency can, to develop an incentive
package that could have kept Lockheed Martin in Akron. But state
officials say they were led to believe Lockheed Martin's move would take
months longer.
Intense storms and tornadoes swept across the Midwest over the weekend, killing at least six.
Ohio has issued a record-breaking amount of concealed-weapons licenses this year. The state issued 82,000 licenses in the first nine months of 2013, more than the 64,000 in 2012 that set the previous record. About 426,000 permits have been issued since the state began the program in 2004.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine certified a petition effort
that, if approved by voters, would require the state to expand its
Medicaid program. The effort
now must gather roughly 116,000 signatures to be approved by the Ohio
Ballot Board and eventually end up on the 2014 ballot. Under Obamacare, states are asked to expand their Medicaid programs; if
they accept, the federal government will pay for the full expansion
through 2016 then indefinitely phase down its payments to 90 percent
after that. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found
the expansion would insure nearly half a million Ohioans and generate $1.8
billion in extra revenue. But the expansion has been so far rejected by
Republican legislators, who tend to be opposed to government-run health care
programs and say they're concerned the federal government won't be able
to uphold its commitment to Medicaid as it has for nearly four decades. CityBeat covered the expansion in greater detail here.
In another example of rising secrecy surrounding JobsOhio, state tax credit estimates are now exempt from public records law, which means the public will no longer be able to see the value of tax credits granted to new and expanding businesses. The estimate is used by JobsOhio to gauge whether it should propose granting a tax break to a certain business, but the Ohio Development Services Agency says it's concerned the numbers aren't accurate in the long term. In the past few months, JobsOhio has been mired in controversy because of its lack of transparency. Republicans argue that JobsOhio's secretive nature allow the privatized development agency to move more quickly with job-creating development deals, but Democrats argue tax dollars are being used with little accountability.
The final results of Cincinnati's disparity study for city contracts aren't expected until 2015. The city is pursuing the study, which is estimated to cost between $500,000 and $1.5 million, to gauge whether Cincinnati should change its contracting policies to favorably target minority- and women-owned businesses. The study is necessary before making such changes because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that requires governments to empirically prove there is a racial or gender-based disparity before favorably targeting such groups.
Meet Cincinnati's new police chief: Jeffrey Blackwell. He's currently deputy chief at the Columbus Division of Police, where he's been for 26 years. Blackwell was picked over three other finalists: Paul Humphries, who's been acting Cincinnati Police chief since June; Michael Dvorak, deputy chief of the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department; and Jerry Speziale, deputy superintendent of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio criticized Debe Terhar, president of the State Board of Education, for calling Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye "pornographic" and demanding it be removed from the state's teaching guidelines. Terhar and others have criticized the book because it contains a scene in which a father rapes his daughter. The Common Core standards adopted by Ohio suggest The Bluest Eye as an example of reading text complexity, quality and range for high school juniors who are typically 16 or 17 years old, but it's ultimately up to school districts to decide whether the novel belongs in the curriculum. Removing mention of the book from the state's guidelines wouldn't explicitly ban the book in Ohio schools, but it would weaken the novel's prominence as a teaching tool.

I have been having pixilation issues that just seem to be random. Had been great for years. Hope you can see my video.
Really looks like a signal issue, maybe your dish alignment has slipped. After years of my dish and signal being as solid as a rock it went south on me a couple of weeks ago. Turned out the mounting board my original dish installer insisted on using had started to rot and the dish was settling. It had been so solid for so long I'd kind of got lazy and hadn't checked my signal in months so no telling how long or when the dish and signal started to slip. All redone and the DirecTV tech and I worked on nailing the signal. I've been with DirecTV since 1999 when I cut TWC back to locals and Internet back in Virginia. When I moved to San Antonio in 2003 I didn't even bother with TWC and use DSL for Internet and DirecTV only. Actually wanted TWC for Internet only back then but they had no interest so they broke two install appointments so they're not welcome around here. This house does have a great OTA antenna in the attic and I use that as a back-up.

i have been after a rather specific bike for around 4 years, a rotwild RFR. this in my mind is my perfect bike. now i have found someone selling the down hill version, the RDH which, due to the weird fashions of bikes he doesn`t seem to be able to give away, now i have no money, i have just cleared my credit card and my over draft after over a year or slowly battling with it. should i buy this bike? its not quite perfect but could probably do the job with a bit of a component change. but is it worth me going into debt for.seesoutherndownhill.com - forum, sales section for the bike.

I'm no expert but I wouldn't pay that much for that bike. It's had 3 owners! You could get a brand new bike for that money.Better IMHO to save up for something and then find the right bike. Live without debt for a little while.

Grace, Gold & Glory: My Leap of Faith
"Gymnastics is not my passion anymore. I want to get famous off of running track, or I want to try dancing, or become a singer. I can get a job at Chick-Fil-A in Virginia Beach… I just want to be a normal teenage kid. I am so homesick. I just want to come home."
— A text sent by Gabby Douglas to her mom on Jan. , 2012, a mere seven months before the Olympics (page 7)
Gabrielle Douglas became a household name during the Olympic Games in London last summer after she won a couple of gold medals in gymnastics. Regrettably, much of the media coverage accompanying Gabby's historic feat came in the form of superficial sound bites which focused on her bad hair day and on her mother's having recently declared bankruptcy.
But lost in the media circus surrounding the poised, pretty 16 year-old was the story of the host of challenges she had overcome en route to being crowned the best in the world. The trials began in infancy when she contracted a life-threatening illness called branched-chain ketoaciduria.
Although that rare blood disorder eventually went into complete remission, it appears that the affliction might have stunted Gabby's growth. After all, the diminutive dynamo stands only 4'11" tall and weighs a mere 94 pounds soaking wet.
In the revealing autobiography, Gabby regales the reader with intimate tales about her challenging childhood: from her parents' divorce when she was four, to being homeless and living in a car, to being bullied, to experiencing the sting of racism, to feeling isolated and homesick when she moved away from her mom and three siblings to Des Moines, Iowa in order to train for the chance to represent the U.S.
She goes on to relate how she scaled all those hurdles with a combination of faith and help from her mom whom she expressly thanks with the acknowledgment that, "I couldn't have accomplished my dream, without your constant support, sacrifice, and belief in me."
A truly inspirational memoir, by a humble, high-flying, hard-working role model with a very bright future who put her trust in God when the chips were down.

|Caring Pregnancy Center partners with community
|Written by Darci Tomky
A large crowd came together Saturday, Jan. 25 as "partners" with A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center at their western-themed 2014 fundraising banquet.
Handkerchiefs, country music and good old-fashioned fellowship were all a part of the evening at the Phillips County Event Center.
After a delicious dinner, audience members enjoyed music by country singer and guitarist Barry Ward, the 2013 Western Music Association male performer of the year.
Barry's wife, Victoria Ward, then took the stage, sharing her story.
"I call it my vow of silence," she said, referring to the two abortions she had as a young woman.
"I had an abortion to cover my sin. If I killed the evidence, no one would know," she said after becoming pregnant at 18. "I was an assassin. I hired someone to kill my baby."
The years that followed brought another abortion and the feeling that she was unlovable.
Even though she married and had other children, she could only say she had given birth to three babies out of six, with one miscarriage to add to the abortions. Ward was even the regional director of the Kansas pro-life organization, but she still carried the secret and the pain with her.
"I was convinced no God could love me," said Ward. "I was going to end the pain once and for all."
With the gun up to her head, Ward heard God speaking to her. She heard the verse Romans 8:1, which said, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Because the eyes are so important when it comes to the overall appearance of the face, DDF has dedicated a whole line to treating and protecting this delicate area. DDF Eye Products contain proven effective ingredients formulated into safe and gentle creams and gels. When addressing the signs of aging, be sure you are using a product that is specially formulated for the eyes. Products intended for the rest of the face are not normally suitable for the eye area. DDF Eye Products can be used with the peace of mind that comes with a tried and trusted brand.
Because the skin around the eyes is not the same as that on the rest of the face and even body, it comes with its own set of issues. You may have noticed that fine lines set in much sooner than on the rest of the face and those may have lead to deeper creases known as crow's feet. Lines happen more easily when the skin is thin. DDF Eye Products help to smooth and plump the area for a more youthful look. You can also get relief from puffiness and dark circles with DDF Eye Products.
Rather than suffering from the effects of aging around the eye area, choose one of the highly effective DDF Eye Products and get started on a path back to radiance and vitality.
DDF Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate is a very rich treatment cream that deeply moisturizes in order to restore proper hydration levels. This in turn plumps up the eye tissue, making it appear smoother and healthier. Antioxidants from natural extracts protect the health of the skin tissue, preventing damage that can come from environmental assailants as well as internal stressors. DDF Advanced Eye Firming Concentrate can help diminish the look of puffy under eye bags which form when fluid pools under the eyes. Firmness and elasticity improve with regular use so you have a better chance of avoiding the crepey and drooping lids. You can use this treatment at night and in the morning before you apply your makeup.
The primary cause of premature aging is sun exposure. This is why it is so important to use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day. DDF Protective Eye Cream is a fast absorbing cream for day use. It hydrates while reducing puffiness and dark circles in order to make the eye area appear more alive. The formula contains a sun protection factor of 15, providing protection against the damaging effects of the sun.
If you love the idea of using natural botanicals to improve the health of your skin, check out DDF Erase Eye Gel. The formula combines seven different natural ingredients to improve the look of dark circles that form under the eyes. You will also keep your eye area hydrated. It works great for puffiness too.

Southeast Sulawesi Tourism has always had an amazing charm, with not only its nature, heritage, arts and crafts creations, and culture, but also its beaches with their breath-taking underwater beauty and pearly white sands, which have become a main attraction of Pulau Hari.
If you are visiting areas of Southeast Sulawesi, you should not leave without setting foot on Pulau Hari, not far from the district's main capital of Kendari. The island has many unique characteristics which are similar to Wakatobi Sea resort. The island is also said to have a bit of an interesting myth. According to ancient legend, it is said that on this island dwells an angel dressed in a long flowing red dress. Her unearthly beauty is matched by no other, and can be compared to none either. Therefore they say, there is no question as to where the island gets its alluring natural charm.
Pulau Hari is located in the Soropia District of eastern Kendari. This beautiful island is one of a cluster of several islands, namely:Pulau Bokori,Pulau Saponda Darat, and Pulau Saponda Laut. These beautiful islands are all around the same distance from each other, which is approximately 50 meters. Pulau Hari has become one of the favorites within the Southeast Sulawesi province, - apart from the Wakatobi islands ,- despite the fact that the island is uninhabited.This unique little paradise is just 1 square kilometer and although small in size, offers an array of activities and natural experiences that will amaze you.
On Pulau Hari you can explore a small forest which is still largely undisturbed, as this island has had no touch of modern or traditional buildings at all. You can see the large variety of tropical animals and birds which inhabit this forest.
For lovers of underwater beauty and marine tourism enthusiasts, this place has its own challenges to conquer, with deep-sea diving and snorkeling, while for those who just want to enjoy the beauty of the white sandy beaches, this island is ready to offer you both.
The ocean off Pulau Hari is rich in marine life ranging from very small to very large. You can witness beautiful, colorful fish such as clown fish, angel fish, fire shrimp, shrimp anemones, ascidians, and starfish, to name a few. If you're lucky, you might even be able to catch a glimpse of an electric clam, a special clam that appears to glow or let out a light beneath the water's surface after dark. You may also have the opportunity of being able to see a rare sea turtle swimming in the sea. There are also several endangered species of fish that inhabit this reef such as the sunudan cuttlefish.
As Pulau Hari is an uninhabited island, with no buildings or modern conveniences, the closest place to stay is at Kendari City which is about an hour from the island. Here is a list of several homestays and hotels which you can call in advance. It is advised to book your accommodation up to a week before your visit especially during the holiday season as the hotels tend to fill up fast. Plaza Inn KendariJl. Antero Hamra No. 57-59, Komplex Pier 29 KendariTelp. +62 (401) 3131 888, 3131 555, 3129 600Fax. +62 (401) 3131 777Website: www.plazainnkendari.comHotel AdenJl.AYani 54, Kendari, KendariTelp.

When bringing food and drinks to Pulau Hari, try not to leave any trace of litter, which will be harmful to nature and marine life on the island.
Currently available are two experienced diving instructors from the local community at a diving center which is open every Saturday and Sunday.
Because of the crystal clear water, en route to Pulau Hari, you'll be treated to views of the sea up to 10-15 meters below the surface. However, if you travel at mid- day, when the sun is at its highest, you will be able to enjoy the underwater scenery to a depth of up to 20 meters or more.
To reach Pulau Hari, you can depart from Kendari city by speedboad at Banyan Harbor, Central Market Complex, Kendari. It is approximately 20 miles from the city center andit will take between 1.5 to 2 hours to get to Pulau Hari, depending on the weather and the boat.
The later it gets in the day, the larger the waves get. If the seas are too rough, the boat ride may be delayed until the seas are calmer. For that reason it is advisable to leave from Kendari between the hours of 9-12 am.
Kendari has a domestic airport. There are a number of airlines flying to Kendari from Jakarta, among which are Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air from Jakarta via Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi and airline hub for the eastern part of Indonesia.
Batavia Air now also flies Jakarta-Kendari Direct, leaving Jakarta at 02.45 am, arriving Kendari at 06.25 Central Indonesia time, returning at 07.00 am and arriving back in Jakarta at 08.30 West Indonesia Time. (click www.batavia-air.com)

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum so apologies if this issue has already been covered.
I have just experienced a situation with OoO where, on returning home from the office at the start of a vacation, I realized that I had forgotten to switch it on. I use the Zimbra desktop client at work but at home, just logged in via the web client and switched on my OoO.
However, on returning to work, it was brought to my attention that people were still receiving my OoO notifications. When I checked the status in the desktop client, my OoO was switched off (in fact it still had an old message). The web client however showed that my OoO was enabled and still working.
Does this mean that OoO does not sync between the web and desktop clients?

I am running M2 version with no problems. I have active users on it and seems to work well.
I want to upgrade to M3 but I am bit scared since the last time I upgraded (M1->M2) it was not smooth, and I had to recreate all the users manually and to import user emails from a backup.
Is upgrade procedure/scripts is a part of M3 release ?
Did anyone upgraded from M2 to M3 ?
Are there any issues that I should be aware of ?
Thanks in advance.

text: By Benjamin Welch Nebraska News Service As the population of the world increases, so does the demand to feed the hungry. Catherine Bertini, 2003 World Food Prize Laureate and co-chair of the Global Agricultural Development Initiative at The Chicago Council of Global Affairs, spoke Thursday at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on "Where America Must Lead: Ensuring the World Can Feed Its People." "Catherine is a woman with tremendous expertise in feeding people and avoiding starvation in times of famine, war, natural disasters and other catastrophes," said Ronnie Green, the vice chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Population is expected to rise from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050. Africa will be home to 2 billion of these and is slated to see the fastest rate of increase. To keep up with the population growth, food production will need to increase by 60 percent to meet the new demand. Price volatility, especially in war-torn countries, makes it hard to plant and sell crops. "We have to think of where are markets going to be in the future and we have to think about where people are going to be," Bertini said. She also noted that 1.3 billion live in poverty and on less than $1.25 a day. As one of the nation's top food producers, Nebraska farmers are expected to be major contributors to relief. With only 12 percent of the world's arable land remaining, Bertini said spreading farther out is not an option. Instead, major steps toward increased production are the only way to meet future food security pressures. "Agriculture productivity is two to four times more effective than any other productivity in alleviating poverty," Bertini said. Among the productivity enhancements Bertini discussed was technology, like advancements in irrigation. In Africa, only 6 percent of the continent's arable land is irrigated, compared to 37 percent in Asia. She said that despite its toils, some of Africa is starting to see increases in output, specifically Angola after the end of its civil war. Bertini also addressed the cultural gender gap. "When the income comes into the household through the woman," Bertini explained, "it's much more likely to go to the betterment of the family rather than if it comes through the man." But because women do not have the same rights as men in most of Africa, they have less access to farming necessities like grain and monetary loans despite making up 43 percent of the workforce. Bertini said if women were granted these opportunities, the number of impoverished could drop between 100 million and 150 million. The United States is part of a $22 billion hunger-relief initiative by G8 countries. Bipartisan efforts like the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the Lugar-Casey Global Food Security Act have been implemented, but Bertini said food relief is currently low on the U.S. agenda. "In John Kennedy's time, he said his vision was to put a man on the moon," Bertini said. "Our vision could be to end world hunger in our lifetime."

So AEP, with $52 billion in shareholder-owned capital investment, made less that $2 billion in profit last year. That's less than a 4% annual return on investment. Like I said. Woo hoo.
Yes, they are a monopoly. A highly Government-regulated monopoly. Which is one reason their profit margin is so low. Don't like that? Write your Congressman.

The compensation plans of all of AEP executive management comes to about 0.0016% of total sales. Less than the proverbial drop in a bucket!

There's a little more to it than just digging a ditch and burying the line. And one reason trees aren't always trimmed as they should be is that tree owners object to proper trimming. Look at those lines sometime and imagine what property owners will say when the power company tells them every tree within fifty feet of that line has to come down. You think complaints about rates are bad...
And tell me why the power company should be responsible for trimming your trees, anyway. They're your trees. Keep them out of the power company's lines.

If it costs AEP money to upgrade their infrastructure, that money has to come from somewhere. It won't come from the meager 3% profit the owners are making, and it won't come from the paltry $9 million Tony is making. So either the customers need to pay the full cost of the service they're receiving, or the taxpayers will have to cover it in the form of Government handouts. The choice you make depends on whether you believe in free market capitalism or crony capitalism. During the last several elections the majority of voters voted for the latter – GM bailouts, Solyndra scams, Cash for Clunkers, Obamacare - so it's not hard to tell where we're heading.

AEP provides electricity to over 5 million customers. Its total assets are $52 billion. You don't pay the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company the same salary as you pay the CEO of a donut shop. Talent qualified to manage an operation of that size costs more. And that salary is set by shareholders, who are making a whopping 3% on their investment. If they're satisfied with that yield, and that salary, it's their company, and their business.
Now go back to Forbes and check out the salaries of a few other CEOs. You'll find you got Tony cheap.

@TrollSlayer, Tony Alexander of First Energy makes about 9 million a year in compensation, 43 million over 5 years, Forbes and other sites vary. I would quess that compensation packages for AEP's CEO and other high executives are comparable. I think the point is, AEP can take measures to prevent costs such as this, and didn't. In a way we the taxpayers are paying for this disaster through Sandy Relief, maybe ask the Government and Feema for financial aid.

AEP paid $1.41 per share in dividends in 2012. It's currently selling at $43 a share – the same as it was 5 years ago. Meaning the yield was about 3% and the capital gain on sales of shares was zero. Woo hoo. Big profits?
Over the last 25 years the cost of electricity has increased at a LOWER rate than most consumer goods. To keep prices low AEP is ALREADY sharing the profits with you, in the form of low electric bills. Thanks, AEP!
For those of you who begrudge the owners of the company that keeps your refrigerator running even 3% profit on their investment? You do it for less. Buy AEP stock, become an owner, make those outrageous 3% profits, and show 'em how it's done.
And in case you didn't know it, ALL businesses pass on their costs to consumers. But keep bashing the good guys to save a few pennies on your electric bill and enjoy those future power outages. Because no company can run in the red.

I purchase insurance and pay heavily for it to protect myself from costly and legal accidents. I'm quite sure there are avenues that AEP can take to lesser their costs too.

put some of YOUR own money back into YOUR company.cut the trees the right way instead of the half-ask job they do.i can tell you how to do it.$15 million per mile to bury cable.where did they come up with that?a ditch witch isn't that expensive.i can tell you where to rent one.quit bullying the people for more.people working in this business make really good money.profit share with the people if this company is going to ESOP.

This is silly and part of a bizarre American culture. AEP wants to do business and make a profit but any costs are to be passed on to the customers. So the dividends keep flowing but the bills just go up if there is a storm. We are without power for weeks and the AEP wants to bill us for those days without power and for the repairs. It does not make sense. Let them bill FEMA, not people already buried in the Obama economy.

I would be happy to share the cost of fixing all of their broken stuff and burying lines if they are going to share the profits with me. what ever % age i pay to help them I would expect the same % age back in the form of a check once a YEAR in profit sharing. that's a fair deal

Cyclones Break Records In Loss To No. 6 Longhorns
AUSTIN, Texas – The Cyclones (18-21, 3-5 Big 12) broke program records for RBI and runs scored on Saturday in their 12-4 loss at No. 6 Texas (37-4, 7-0 Big 12). The 2013 offense has tallied 200 RBI this season while scoring 227 runs.
Each of Iowa State runs against Texas starter Kim Bruins (8-0) was earned, making it the first time since March 8 against Louisiana-Lafayette that the Longhorn pitching staff has allowed an earned run at home. Bruins threw a complete game, giving up six hits, walking three and striking out two.
Brittany Gomez and Tori Torrescano made individual marks on the Cyclone record books during the contest as well. Gomez, who had two hits, scored two of the Cyclones' four run, giving her 40 runs scored on the season to lead the team. The freshman is the first Cyclone since Jenny Condon in 1989 to score 40 runs in a season. Torrescano, in her final plate appearance of the game, walked for the 26th time this season, tying the single-season record.
Senior Erica Miller was 2-for-3 at the plate with three RBI in the contest. Miller has 42 RBI this season, second-most in Iowa State history and joins Jorden Spendlove as the two Cyclones with 10 doubles on the year.
On the first play of the game, Gomez slapped a single back to Bruins, who picked up the ball and threw it into right field, advancing Gomez to third and the speedy outfielder made her way home as the right fielder committed the second Longhorn error of the play.
Two batters later, Miller doubled to the right field wall, scoring Sarah Hawryluk, who had walked, giving Iowa State the 2-0 advantage.
On the back of a grand slam from Taylor Hoagland, the Longhorns plated nine runs in the bottom of the first for a 9-2 lead after one inning. Cyclone starter Riley Fisher (2-6) lasted one-third of an inning, charged with two hits, four walks and six runs before being replaced by Taylor Smith.
Texas had another chance to score after a leadoff double from Erin Shireman to start the bottom of the third but, although Shireman would advance to third on a fly out, Smith coaxed two more fly outs to get Iowa State out of the inning untouched.
Following Shireman's example, Torrescano doubled to lead off the top of the fourth but would get no further and the Longhorns maintained their seven-run lead entering the bottom of the frame.
Aly Cappaert and Gomez started the Cyclone fifth with back-to-back singles and, after Hawryluk walked for the second time, Miller drove home Alex Tinaglia – pinch running for Cappaert – and Gomez to bring Iowa State within five, down 4-9.
The Cyclones and Longhorns wrap up their series on Sunday at 1 p.m. CDT at McCombs Field.

John Buck, Josh Anderson non-tendered; Royals sign Bannister, Colon, Davies for 2010
The Kansas City Royals announced that the club will not tender 2010 Major League contracts to catcher John Buck and outfielder Josh Anderson. In addition, the Royals also reached agreements with right-handed pitchers Brian Bannister, Roman Colon and Kyle Davies on Major League contracts for 2010, avoiding arbitration. Consistent with club policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
Buck, 29, has spent his entire Major League career with the Royals after coming over in a trade from the Houston Astros in 2004. He batted .247 with eight home runs and 36 RBI in 59 games as KC's backup catcher in 2009.
The 27-year old Anderson was acquired by the Royals on July 30 from the Detroit Tigers. He hit .237 for KC with 12 stolen bases in part-time duty.
The 28-year old Bannister posted a 7-12 mark for Kansas City in 2009, his third season with the Royals, recording a 4.73 ERA in 26 starts. He has recorded a 30-38 mark with a 4.79 ERA in 93 career games, 91 of which are starts.
Colon, 30, was 2-3 with a 4.83 ERA in 43 relief appearances for the Royals last season. Acquired by Kansas City on July 13, 2007, he has an 8-10 career record with a 4.97 ERA over 116 appearances (8 starts) for the Braves, Tigers and Royals.
Davies, 26, compiled an 8-9 record and a 5.27 ERA in 22 starts for KC last season. Acquired at the trading deadline in 2007 from the Atlanta Braves, Davies takes a 34-44 record and a 5.54 career ERA into next season.
The moves to non-tender Buck and Anderson currently place the Royals Major League 40-man roster at 38.

This one was fun, mostly for being very different from what I usually do… but also because the setting really inspired me. It's a commission job for Worlds End Publishing and their upcoming miniature game "This is Not a Test" (love that name). At first glance it looks like a rather generic post-apocalypse setting, but the details really make it stand out from the rest. (Edit: just realized that could be interpreted as being about the map… I meant it about the setting. If the map is generic or not I'll let you decide )
This map is meant to look like a production by the Biscuit Box fictional restaurant chain, showing the locations of their restaurants, that after the apocalypse was edited with new borders and names. I got to design the logo as well, that was fun too I'll be making a second map for these guys, a smaller scale one depicting the central region "Tri-State Wasteland", in a different style, but for now, here's the first one:

We had a fairy village developing in our yard a few years ago (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ladystrathconn/sets/736359/). In Vermont, fairies migrate south for the winter, so they pack their houses up before they go. Sadly, our garden has become less hospitable (to everything but weeds) and they have not returned. Maybe next summer.

Your Right to Veterans Medical Benefits
by Ron Honberg, J.D., national director for Policy and Legal Affairs
In recent years, significant advances have occurred in protecting the rights of veterans to medical and other benefits within the VA system. However, veterans with mental illnesses sometimes still have difficulty obtaining medical and other benefits through the VA. This situation may be attributable, in part, to lack of understanding about these illnesses and their connection to military service. It may also be attributable in some cases to the difficulties that some veterans with mental illnesses have in following complex VA procedures for filing claims and submitting information in support of the claims.
Veterans with mental illnesses can encounter a number of challenges in obtaining and using medical benefits. These include:
• Overcoming "bad paper" (other than honorable) discharges due to the onset of mental illness that may make them ineligible for medical or other veterans' benefits;
• Proving that their disability is service-connected;
• Proving that their disability is of sufficient severity to warrant priority status for veterans' medical benefits; and
• Coping with denial of necessary treatment or services after they have obtained veterans' medical benefits.
Applying for Veterans Benefits
Veterans can apply for medical benefits in a number of ways, including applying in person at VA Regional Offices (VAROs) or at VA medical centers. Applications for VA medical benefits can also be filed through third parties. Disabled American Veterans (DAV), an officially designated veterans service organization, employs 260 highly trained national service officers (NSOs) who can help individuals and their families apply for benefits and advocate for these individuals throughout the application and appeals processes. More information about this valuable and important program can be obtained on the DAV Web site, www.dav.org.
Appealing VA Decisions
Step One: When a claim for veterans' medical benefits is denied, the veteran receives a denial letter from the VA, along with information about why the decision was made. A veteran who disagrees with the decision must file a Notice of Disagreement with the local VA office within one year of the denial. The VA will respond by creating a Statement of the Case (SOC), a detailed explanation of the medical and legal basis for denying the application or claim.
Step Two: When the VA sends the SOC, it will include a VA Form 9. Filling out the VA Form 9 is necessary to complete the appeal request. The form should be filled out and sent back to the local VA office within 60 days of the date the SOC is received.
Step Three: Applicants may request personal hearings in connection with their appeals. Veterans may request a hearing with someone from their local VA office or a hearing with a member of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA). Hearings with board members may occur in person or by videoconference. Videoconference hearings are generally the quickest way to get a hearing. Veterans may be accompanied at this hearing by their personal representatives, including family members. Hearings are informal, and veterans may present medical evidence to support their claims.
Generally, BVA decisions are provided in writing sometime after the hearing. The claim will be allowed, denied, or remanded. A remand occurs when the BVA feels it needs more information to make the decision.
Step Four: If the BVA denies the application or claim, the next step is to file an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Appeals must be filed within 120 days of the final decision from the BVA.
The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is an independent body and not part of the VA. It is advisable, although not required, that the veteran retain an attorney to prepare the appeal. In 1992, Congress created a program for free legal assistance to veterans filing appeals. This program is run by the Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program. Information about this program can be found at www.vetsprobono.org. Information about private attorneys authorized to represent veterans in appeals can be found by contacting the National Organization of Veterans' Advocates at 1-800-810-VETS or www.vetadvocates.com.
If the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims agrees with the veteran's case, it will usually remand the case back to the VA for further action. If it rules against the veteran, the veteran can seek further review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in which the claim originated. That court may or may not accept the case for further review.
Initial denials of benefits or claims by veterans with mental illnesses are frequently reversed on appeal. Therefore, veterans and their advocates should be knowledgeable about the process of filing appeals and encouraged to appeal whenever a decision by the VA seems unjust.

Been running zdesktop 0.90 build 1249 on winxp since ~7:30pm EDT yesterday.
It was running fine before I rebooted... Once the system came back up zdesktop wouldn't start. I tried to manually start and it still failed. Error logged in event log is:
Faulting application , version 0.0.0.0 faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000.
When I attempt to uninstall zdesktop I get:
The JVM found at {0} is damaged. Please reinstall or define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME to point to an installed 32-bit JDK or JRE.
Ideas? My gut feeling is somehow zdesktop install got trashed... but no idea what would have caused that.

Fernandez Named ISU's Male Athlete of the Year
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State All-American golfer Scott Fernandez has collected a slew of awards and honors throughout his record-setting sophomore campaign. He added yet another to his resume today.
A Second-Team All American by Golfweek and All-Big 12 First-Team selection, the Iowa State Athletics Department named Fernandez its Male Athlete of the Year for the 2012-13 athletics season.
It marks the second season in a row where a men's golfer was honored as ISU's top male athlete. Nate McCoy won the award last season.
A native of Granada, Spain, Fernandez' season was unprecedented in program history. Fernandez competed in 10 tournaments, finishing in the top-10 in eight of them, including an individual victory at the Furman Intercollegiate. He also had seven top-five finishes.
Fernandez, who was ranked 18th nationally in the final Golfweek ratings, capped off the season by breaking the school's single-season stroke average mark (71.27) and becoming just one of five Cyclones in school history to earn an individual berth at an NCAA Regional.
The Spaniard tallied seven sub-70 rounds on the year, including a 65 at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational, tying for the second-best 18-hole score in school history. His 54-hole score of 203 at that meet is the second-lowest tournament tally in school history.
Fernandez, who was the first Cyclone to make the Hogan Award watch list, missed two events during the season while competing for Spain at World Amateur where he tied for 13th. He recently represented Europe at the prestigious Palmer Cup, college golf's equivalent to the Ryder Cup.

Hi Everyone,
I had 2 natural, midwife-assisted births. The second one, the birth of my daughter, was a home birth.
My sister-in-law is now pregnant and wants to have a "natural" birth. She has met with a few midwives, but still quite likes the idea of having an epidural.
I've given her a few reasons why she should try to avoid having an epidural, but she's not convinced.
Please help!
I need as many reasons as possible to show her that an epidural is not the way to go!

The women I know who had an epidural do not remember feeling an 'urge to push'. They just pushed when the medical staff told them to. Their babies were much more sleepy following birth, mine were very alert.
I forget the exact reason why, but after the birth of one of my kids, one of my nurses had to explain that she just wasn't used to having me, the mother, so alert and awake and capable of making decisions. She was laughing because it was just so unusual. I was thinking, how sad! All those other women are really missing out!
You can do some internet searching to find out more. If you have an epidural, there is a good probability that your labor will slow down, then you'll be giving pitocin to speed it back up. There is also a 2-3 times higher risk of having to have a c-section.
All you have to do is watch the "baby" shows and see what unfolds:
I very much wanted a natural birth in a free standing birth center with my first. I was in labor for days, but I could handle the contractions, what I couldnt handle was the exhaustion. So I went to the hospital for and epidural so I could get some rest and have the energy to push. When I arrived I was 7 cm, they give me the epidural and without telling me also administer pitocin which the baby didnt like. I had to have a catheter because I couldnt walk to get to the bathroom. I wasnt aloud to eat or drink incase I had to have a c-section. There were nurses in the room ever 30 minutes adjusting monitors. Finally after 10 hours I was 10 cm, but I didnt have the urge to push. I couldnt feel my contractions and I ended up pushing for 2 hours. Baby was coming out beautifully but because I had hit the time limit I got a level 4 epesieotomy. I got upset when they took her to the nursery for shots and a bath and I couldnt go because I still couldnt walk. She didnt nurse well for the entire first day, and we still had trouble the second and third days.
The recovery form the epesiotomy was terrible and it was at least 6 mos before I could have a BM that wasnt painfull. But I have to say the worst part was when I was getting ready to deliver and the doctor asked how I ended up there, I explained to him what had happened and he laughed and said," Well you will just come straight here for the epidural next time wont you?"
I will never have an epidural again.
I had a natural mid-wife assisted birth with my son and it was the most amazing experience of my life!! I will admit in the very beginning I was frightened at the thought of no pain medication but then I did a lot of research and reading (and watched The Business of Being Born) which all changed my mind completely!
The thought of having a needle in my back scared me, the thought of not being able to feel my legs and have no control of pushing scared me, also the effects that it has on the baby scared me. I wanted to avoid as many medical interventions as possible.
If it's the pain that she is most frightened of, it wasn't that bad. Sure it hurt, but you're having a baby. But the endorphins and the horomones that your body produced immediately after birth is like no other high you'll experience in your life!!
