I downgraded from 2 water cooled HD7970's (that technically cost more than this card)to avoid the problems of crossfire. The GTX Titan has lower fps than my previous set up but the gameplay is actually smoother. What's more impressive is the lack of noise it produces. At >£800 it IS silly expensive but all credit to BT, they did not hike their prices up like other online retailers have shamelessly done. I bought my card from here because of that pricing policy, well done guys!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Joe Montana, who still looks near his fighting weight, said he works out for 40 to 50 minutes a day.
The Hall of Famer draws the line, however, at the suggestion he should try keeping pace with ex-teammate Roger Craig, who regularly runs marathons.
"I'm dumb, but I'm not stupid," Montana cracked. "I don't know how he's doing it. It's crazy."
Whatever the fitness regimen, both former 49ers stars vow to be ready for one last gasp at their old home field on Saturday. The "Legends of Candlestick" flag football game features a roster of 49ers icons pitted against NFL All-Stars in what is being billed as the final game at the doomed stadium.
The 49ers' side also features Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley, Dwight Clark, Tom Rathman and Dwight Hicks. Former owner Eddie DeBartolo will take part, too.
The All-Star side is heavy on players who have a score to settle with the drafty old yard. Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, who lost his only Super Bowl to Montana in 1985, is back for another shot. (The executive who extended the invitation to Marino said the Hall of Famer joked, "I have to lose to him again?")
There is also Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Anthony Munoz, who lost two Super Bowls to Montana, and Everson Walls, the Dallas Cowboys defensive back who was covering Clark when he made "The Catch" on Jan. 10, 1982.
"It's all about giving back to the fans and giving our last tribute to a great stadium," Craig said. "We won a lot of games here. We built our dynasty at this stadium."
This contest will look different from the 331 previous 49ers games at The 'Stick. It will be a nine-on-nine flag football affair, with frequent substitutions. Montana, for example, will start the game and finish it. In between, he will be spelled by Young and Jeff Garcia.
Montana participated in a similar event in 2001 when the Denver Broncos ushered out Mile High Stadium with a flag football game starring John Elway. Nearly 40,000 fans watched Elway's squad beat Montana's team 34-33.
"It starts out kind of fun, then as the game gets going it gets competitive," Montana said. "It gets kind of scary at the end, because everybody is trying to win -- and you're trying not to get hurt."
Craig said: "Trust me. It's not going to be an easy run in the park. We're going to go for it."
Marty Garafalo, the COO of Gameday Entertainment, expects the crowd count to reach 40,000.
Garafalo arranged the Mile High game, as well as an alumni baseball game featuring Pete Rose and other members of "The Big Red Machine" to close out Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati.
The original idea for The 'Stick farewell was to pit San Francisco stars against a team of Dallas Cowboys. Montana was in favor of that plan, but Garafalo persuaded him to widen the net.
Garafalo called Marino. Montana reached out to Young, his old rival and the other half of the most famous quarterback controversy in NFL history.
"I thought that was important, and so did Joe," Garafalo said.
With the star quarterbacks in place, the rosters filled up quickly. Organizers even had to turn guys away. Garafalo said he got a late inquiry from Anthony Carter -- the former Minnesota Vikings receiver who pleaded his case for the game by pointing out the 227 receiving yards he once had in a playoff game at Candlestick Park.
But there were no roster spots left.
"We pay everybody almost equally -- maybe (Marino) is making a few more dollars -- but a lot of these guys would come for free," Garafalo said. "They look at it as a reunion weekend. It's just a who's who."
Quarterback Steve Bono will serve as the player/coach for the 49ers. Quarterback Dave Krieg will handle that role for the All-Stars.
Marino, 52, set the record book ablaze in 1984 by throwing for 48 touchdowns and 5,084 yards. He, and not Montana, was the most ballyhooed passer in the days leading up to Super Bowl XIX at Stanford Stadium. Instead, Montana threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns and Craig scored three touchdowns as the 49ers rolled to a 38-16 victory.
"I think Dan Marino is going to be motivated to beat us because we made him look so bad," Craig said. "He had a hell of a year that year -- those were just crazy numbers back then.
"But (all the hype) ticked off our defense, and they took it upon themselves to prove that we have a pretty good defense, too."
Craig, 54, still runs 45 to 50 miles per week. He has run more than 25 marathons. But he said nothing compares with the thrill of running alongside Montana.
"This is like a dream come true," Craig said. "You want to just do it one more time."

Mini Cashew Cream Fruit Tart
I have been really, really into all sorts of fresh fruit tarts lately. Also, I am hooked on using cashews as a base for any sweet and creamy filling for desserts. It is creamy, and the cashews have a really nice, natural sweetness to them. And it thickens up like mad! I was pretty surprised the first time I tried this.
I have been making full size tarts, but I thought it would be cute so have little personal tarts, because 1.) they are cute and 2.) I am obsessed with "personal" sized servings of food. I don't know why, but I am. So here is my offering in hopes that these summery little tarts will help ward off the rain here in the Pacific Northwest. I guess I just want my fruit tarts and my summer to go along with them.
The recipe makes 10 mini fruit tarts. I had some cashew cream left over, but it is delish tart-less, simply topped with some fresh fruit.
What you will need:
1 1/3 c. flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. Earth Balance (or your fav butter substitute)
1 1/2 tbsp ice water
1 1/2 c. raw cashews (pre-soaked for 3 - 4 hours)
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 tbsp. Earth Balance, melted
2/3 c. water
mixed berries, your choice for topping
Start by soaking your cashews in advance, for at least 3 - 4 hours.
Next up, make your tart crust. Add your flour, sugar and salt into a food processor. Pulse once or twice to mix. Add your 1/2 of the Earth Balance, either cutting into small cubes if using a stick of butter sub. or by spooning by the tbsp. Pulse 4 - 5 times to mix. Add the other half of the Earth Balance in the same fashion, and pulse a few more times. Add your ice water. Your dough will almost seem crumbly at first, but go ahead and pulse several more times. Your dough should slowly come together. If a few more pulses don't do the trick, add 1/2 tbsp ice water more to your dough and repeat. The trick to a fab tart crust is to go through this whole process using the least amount of water and the least amount of blending. Once your dough has come together, knead a few times on a lightly floured surface. Form into a disc, and refrigerate for one hour.
After one hour, take out your dough and roll out to appropriate sizes. I used a muffin pan for my mini tart shells, so I rolled out the dough and cut out circles to fit into each muffin compartment. I used a glass with a 5" diameter to cut out each mini tart shell, then rolled each circle out until it was about 1/8" in thickness. Place rolled out dough into each muffin section, gently press dough to fit. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Then preheat oven to 375, make a few pricks with a fork into each tart shell and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until shells are lightly golden brown.
While the tart shells are cooling down, go ahead and start on your cashew cream filling. I don't have one of those fancy Vita-Mix blenders, just a regular old blender and it works fine for this. I am sure my blending time is a lot longer than with the awesome Vita-Mix, but hey, whatever works, right? Ok, onto the filling. Add half of your cashews and all of your sugar, vanilla, melted Earth Balance and water into blender. I usually start on a lower setting and work my way up to the highest blender setting. Once I have this blended to a fairly smooth consistency, add the rest of your soaked cashews one handful at a time. This will help in not overwhelming your blender if you just have a little one like I do. There should be no cashew chunks visible, just a smooth mixture that almost resembles pudding or a custard. (I have read about doing this in a food processor and have tried it, results where nowhere near as good as with my crappy little blender.)
Spoon filling into each tart shell and place in freezer for 30 - 40 minutes, or until firm. Slice up fruit and top each tart with a generous helping. For additional, gluttonous yummyness...top each little mini tart with some soy whip cream.

I made this last week (with a few changes) and my husband and I went crazy over it. The next night he said, "Are we going to have some of that tart? I want a huge piece of it!" So I gave him 2.

Sung by Mrs. Maxine Hite Prairie Grove, Arkansas April 17, 1959
Reel 317, Item 2
The Old Oak Tree
"It was a song sung by my mother as a girl, and she recently
sang it and my sister typed it for me so I'd have a record of it."
Dark was the night, cold blew the wind,
And heavy fell the rain,
When Bessie left her own dear home To never return again.
She left from by her mother's side,
Fearing not the wind nor cold,
For she was young and fair to view
And love had made her bold.
So fearing not the wind nor rain,
Nor loud the tempest's roar,
She threw her cloak about her waist And quickly from the door.
Night rolled around and morning came,
And Bessie returned not home,
Which caused her mother for to weep And wonder where she'd gone.
Three dreary weeks had now passed by,
And Bessie returned not home,
When James McFall rode out to hunt With all his dogs and hounds.
He rode up hill, he rode down dale,
In gallant company,
Whenas by chance the fox was missed Down by the old oak tree,
The dogs began to run about And for to sniff the clay,
'Twas all that . with whips could do,
To drive those dogs away.
Collected by
Mary Celestia Parler
The Old Oak Tree Reel 317, Item 2 Continued
The gentlemen they gathered round And called for pick and spade,
And in the ground they dug and found The missing murdered maid.
And through her eyes . .
That was so blue and bright,
Her cheeks were black and bruised too That were once so red and sweet.
And in her breast a knife was found,
That's all I need to name,
For all that were present would plainly read Was James McDonald's name.
McDonald fell upon this deed,
My soul is sued for hell,
Go take the cold corpse from my sight;
And the story I will tell.
I was the best friend ere at least Or so it seemed to me,
I gained her as my victory,
And trampled o'er her heart.
And every time that we would meet,
She'd cry, Make me your bride.
She teased and teased, till I grew tired,
Or as it seemed to me,
The devil whispered, Take her life And then you shall be free.
So with my knife in my right hand,
I plunged it in her breast,
The other half I knocked her down,
I need not tell the rest.
McDonald then fell to his knees,
And gave a look of shame,
He drew a pistol from his belt And fired it through his brain.
The Old Oak Tree Reel 317, Item 2 Continued
McDonald was buried where he did fall,
No Christian grave got he;
And no one kneels to bless the ground Beneath the old oak tree.

Hi all!
First off, great software!
However I cannot find this as an setting in options, so hoping for some help, I need PMS to transcode files smaller than 4GB to an Xbox 360, There are 3 360's in the house and it appears all my media files under 4GB are not transcoded and thus wont play on the xbox's, how can I force PMS to transcode files smaller than 4GB, the media files are Mp4's
[Edit] It actually appears its also not transcoding some files over 4GB, I don't understand why its only doing some and not the others, am I missing something??
99% of files are h264 encoded Mp4's that are 1080P. How can I force PMS to transcode everything?

I was searching for another topic and came across this:
This absolutely blew my mind and I felt like crying as I watched it.
Up for debate:� Do you feel it's selfish for parents to make biracial children?� If so, why?
Why do you think this kid feels "black" is bad?� This video did not set well with me.� Not at all.

An Open Forum
By Rebecca Teti
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
how about - since it's the sad anniversary of roe v wade - a discussion about how to kindly and lovingly open our clueless friends' minds and hearts to the horror of abortion and birth control... (i know, dang heavy topic for so early...)
Carrie k, great topic! Definitely heavy but so very important. Especially once the hhs mandate takes effect we will have to be ready to defend our stance on abortion and birth control. I pray that Catholics are ready when the scoffers attack or, even more, when good people are seeking truth. Now that I think of it, I don't have any great answers so I'll be reading the comments in hopes of getting some.
Yes, how do we discuss the issue kindly with loved ones-especially regarding birth control and sterilization? Most of my relatives feel getting sterilized is the responsible and loving thing to do. They view my family of 6 children (one with severe disabilities) and feel sorry for me.
there's the rub... our families and friends- in they're greatly deceived minds - Believe that birth control IS a responsible, loving way. Mine roll their eyes and sigh at my position on BC, as they go on letting it ruin their lives (and maybe mortal souls?)... soooo, where/what is ground zero, where we can kindly start a conversation that helps them SEE?
afraid of? - suffering and not being able to offer it up. having to watch my children's suffering (and not being able to offer it up). and hell.
I don't think fear is the issue, unless you mean fear of opening emotional wounds for people. Since 1/3 of American women have had abortions, you have to assume in any discussion of it that you are opening a sore spot. That can't prevent us from speaking the truth, but the question being asked is two-fold: how to be sensitive to the walking wounded, and also how to help the closed-minded to simply open themselves enough for a genuine conversation to take place.
I think for a lot of people, especially if they already know our beliefs on BC/abortion/sterilization, the only way to "talk" about it is through our own lives. I'm as big a fan of apologetics and speaking the truth as anyone (heck, I give talks on the subject at hand), but a lot of people close to us can feel really defensive about their own choices. It would just be *so* hard to admit that their decisions were the wrong ones - especially if they can't be changed now. Sort of like one woman at church who was, totally out of the blue - I'd just met her at a day of prayer - giving me a hard time about having had my 3rd baby. She was so intent on finding a reason why even 3 kids was too many ("I just can't find a reason that will work with you!") that I figured she must actually have been trying to convince herself that she really couldn't have had more than her one. And it was far too late for her to change that decision. So I think a lot of what we can do with our friends and families is plant seeds, knowing that they might not be very willing to admit to us that maybe their choices weren't really for the best. We can be ready with some stock replies, or with a book to give them ("Good News about Sex and Marriage" by Christopher West is a good one, especially for those without a lot of good formation), but I think most casual conversations (unless they are really asking) won't produce much obvious transformation. Also, the first "unknown" is Jeanne.
yes... This!!>>> "how to be sensitive to the walking wounded, and also how to help the closed-minded to simply open themselves enough for a genuine conversation to take place" (much better wording than my 6am brain could muster...) And, Nice, Helpful response Anna! I do try to plant seeds rather than be "in your face", but sometimes its tough not to just scream!
Also, any suggestion on how to have a sensible debate when the debaters are arguing apples vs oranges... human baby vs clump of cells. Or rather, how to help them see 'baby' instead of 'cells'?
Yes, it is so obvious when others are trying to make themselves feel better about their choices by nicely (or not so nicely) challenging our choices. My sil is always telling me how crazy my life must be, how tired I must be etc... I realize she is only trying to convince herself. It's too late for her to choose a different path.
I'm having trouble believing that 1 in 3 American women have had an abortion. I think they (the pro-choice groups providing that statistic) are also including miscarriage, which is often coded as abortion by the doctor. I know that when I had a miscarriage a few years ago, the insurance company rejected "care and treatment of miscarriage" then the doctor resent the claim to my insruance company as "abortion" and it was paid. Does anyone have an unbiased source for these statistics?
I read a great book called "Pro-life answers to Pro-choice questions" and it gave me some great answers. Sometimes, the best way to get someone to understand your point is to ask questions. If they mention "tissue" you can ask, or direct, how was it made? From where did it come? If given time, warmth and nutrition, it will cease to be "tissue" and become human. When does that person believe the baby is viable? Then, when they give you a number of weeks, you can ask them--what if they baby grows a bit faster, would the baby be viable then? {They often answer "yes" then you can keep backing up, using the benchmarks/timeline of life and state that scientists have detected brain waves and heartbeats at these intervals.} I talked to my very staunchly pro-death stepfather, and finally got him to say that IF the scientists determined that life begins at conception, then he would have to believe that the tissue was a baby. I simply smiled and said, "well, they have." He changed the subject after that. I have also used the seed analogy such as: a small acorn is really a "baby tree". When given water, light and the proper place to grow, it will become an oak. Even if someone didn't believe it to be an acorn, it doesn't matter. Inside the little acorn is the potentiality of a tree. It just needs time, nourishment and a chance to grow. Just like a baby.... My problem with the pro-death crowd, is that they scream about "women's choice to do with her body as she wishes" and I say, what about the "baby woman" inside? Why doesn't *she* get the same chance to choose?
Jeanne- Are you asking what in general, we are afraid of, or what we are afraid of about fighting abortion?
Question: I am going to be the godmother of a friend's child, and I was wondering if you all had recommendations for a great baptismal gift I could give the baby (he's a boy). My budget is somewhere around $30. Thanks!
@Donna- I am going to fine that answers/questions book right now! @ baptism gift- I love the rosary my child's godmom gave her best of all; or a pretty pic frame -specific to baptism - for a keepsake photo; or the book "the littlest angel" is sooo sweet...
Donna L., thanks for the suggestions. I do think the socratic approach is a good one as long as we know what questions to ask. And you did. Thanks be to God! I am weary of using the acorn analogy. A danger in these types of discussion is allowing the other side to use our own logic against us. An acorn is truly not a tree but a fetus is a baby.
I started tracking my temperature a few months ago, and this month I've noticed that it's very constant - the thermometer will give the same exact reading several days in a row. I saw a shift, but pre-shift it was 97.3 for 5 days straight, and it's now been 98.1 for the past 4 days. Is this normal? Could it mean I need to replace my battery, or that I might otherwise have cause to doubt the accuracy of the readings?
I quickly searched for the actual book I liked {as we had checked it out from our church library} and the correct title is :"Pro-life answers to pro-choice arguments"--I'm sorry I typed one word incorrectly. Randy Alcorn is the author--it gave 4-8 responses for regular questions, as well as further ideas and questions to ask. I really like this book! As for the acorn and baby analogy--I can understand why you may be weary, as environmentalists believe trees and animals more important than people. I'm sorry you have had so many difficult conversation with those who turned and argued with you. *I* chose that because my stepdad fancies himself a scientist of sorts, as well as a tree-hugging enviro-nut. He equates "small" with "worthless". I was simply trying to explain that a "blob of cells" is not the same thing AT ALL as a tiny being {fetus or even a zygote} or, a tiny tree {acorn}. It is extraordinarily frustrating to try to explain the truth in a loving way to people who are ferociously opposed to hearing that truth--{like my stepdad is}. I pray we will keep trying, and perhaps, someone will finally listen...a person's a person, no matter how small.
To Kathleen --- I wouldn't worry about it, especially because it did change with your cycle. The same thing has happened to me some months (with the same accompanying worries). Try taking your temperature some other time during the day with the same thermometer and see if it reads a different temperature. That may give you an answer. I've been using the same digital basal thermometer for ten years and have only had to change the batteries once, so unless it is pretty old, your thermometer probably isn't a problem. Be glad your temps are so reliable!!
Pro-Lifers, This is the thought I have every January: These 39 years, if all the millions of people that have taken part in the annual march spent the time and the money they've used to travel and visit DC to help their local crisis pregnancy centers and the like, and actually attempt to address the issue of abortion on a personal level, there probably wouldn't have to be an event this year... I certainly have no problem with the gathering of course, but for MOST (and not all) of the folks that go it is a colossal cop out. The yearly quota for "making a difference." Taking a chartered bus, praying some rosaries with their buddies on the way, listening to some dynamic speakers, and blindly believing that anyone working for the government acknowledges their presence as anything more than extra traffic to avoid (let alone magically fix a complicated social problem) is the only thing they do each year for their BIG POLARIZING ISSUE!! Hooray. They won't vote for someone that doesn't say they're going to actively do something to end abortion, but don't actually try themselves... God bless America. Submitted for your own personal thought and not to jump down my throat. Hopefully you feel a little convicted.
Dan, you're the one who should feel convicted, of writing an ignorant comment. The people who march for life are the same people who work at crisis pregnancy centers and prayerfully and peacefully witness in front of abortion clinics. The assumptions you make are way out of line.
Well dan, I contribute financially and with service hours and donations of goods to my local crisis pregnancy center, I pray daily for an end to abortion (not just on a bus headed to a March), I speak out (i hope intelligently and with conviction) when I encounter pro-abortion folks, and I witness a pro-life lifestyle by raising my children in a God centered home. I can't attend the March this year, but I have done so many times in the past. I don't think it is a cop-out, I think it is an opportunity to show the rest of the world (yes world, the US media doesn't give it much attention, true, but the UK media do as well as other foreign press), that Pro-life people come from all walks of life, are all ages, all races, and relevant to today's US reality. I am sorry you have such a negative view of this inspiring event, perhaps you should show up at one and see what you think then.
I think Dan makes a point, though. We SHOULD be doing *both* & if we aren't... well, hopefully we will. (And I do say IF.) Reminds me of people "liking" God online. I hope they go to Church regularly, too. Its easy to "like" God on facebook and much harder (and worth a whooooooooole lot more) to "like" him by following the Church! :)
Yes, we should be doing both. But his blanket assumption that people who go to the march aren't doing both, and that this is a copout and they're "yearly quota", is ignorant and uncalled for.
why is abortion bad?

Nanobodies, megapayoff
04.10.2012 - Belgian Ablynx secures €8.5m upfront from Merck Inc. for the development of Nanobodies against two targets, one of them yet unknown.
Camelidae antibody developer Ablynx NV (Ghent) has inked a collaboration with US pharma major Merck & Co. Inc (MSD). The companies collaborate primarily to develop and commercialise Nanobody® candidates directed towards a certain voltage-gated ion channel. Merck also acquired the option to do the same for a second, as yet unknown, target. The deal includes a €6.5m upfront payment and another €2m compensation for research funding. With successfully passed regulatory and commercial milestones in addition to secured royalties, Ablynx will be eligible to receive up to €448 million in total. While Ablynx is in charge of the discovery of the Nanobodies, Merck gains the exclusive global rights to market them and is responsible for research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation of any Nanobody® product resulting from the collaboration.
After Ablynx showed the proof-of-principle in 2011, things are going well for the company despite the withdrawal of US pharma giant Pfizer almost a year ago. Edwin Moses, Chairman and CEO of Ablynx commented on the new deal: "We are delighted to initiate this collaboration with Merck in the area of ion channels, where to date, monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated little success. Due to the formatting flexibility of Nanobodies, we are able to combine antibody-like selectivity and multi-specificity in one molecule, making them ideal candidates for ion channel modulators." Nanobodies® are a novel class of therapeutic proteins based on single-domain, heavy-chain antibody fragments. They link conventional monoclonal antibody advantages like high specificity with the benefits of small molecule drugs like low sensitivity to temperature and pH changes. So far, Ablynx has approximately 25 programmes in the pipeline, and seven Nanobodies at clinical development stage, including partnerships with pharma and biotech companies like Boehringer Ingelheim (cancer, Alzheimer's), former Merck Serono (osteoarthritis), Novartis, and Merck & Co.

The PvP Power dilemma - resolved! Blizzard listened!
Posted 31 July 2012 - 08:27 AM
Have a look: Malevolent Gladiator's Greatsword
With the addon Mists of Pandaria a lot of hope has risen. The new stat PvP Power increases damage and healing done to players. The idea behind this is to make sure that PvP gear is better
for PvP than PvE gear, while also work as solid PvE starting gear. But there is one problem.
PvP weapons do not have PvP Power on them. As PvP gear has a lower ilvl than PvE gear upgraded normal mode weapons have a higher ilvl than PvP Tier 2 weapons. Let's take a closer look at the numbers.
PvP Gear
T1 weapons: ilvl489
T2 weapons: ilvl502
Mogu'shan Vaults
Normal mode: ilvl489
Hard mode: ilvl502
Heart of Fear & Terrace of Endless Springs
Normal mode: ilvl496
Normal mode with upgrades: 503
Hard mode: ilvl509
Hardmode with Upgrades: ilvl 516
Comparision of PvP and PvE weapons in detail
Not all of the numbers are perfectly clear at the moment, for example I could not find upgraded versions of the Mogu'shan Vaults loot. The upgrades are done with Valor points and the latest information I found on MMO Champion suggests that this will cost 300 Valor points for one of three possible upgrades. This information may be outdated, but the ilvls written above can be seen on wowhead and wowdb.
The game starts with the Mogu'Shan Vault raid and the Heart of Fear as well as Terrace of Endless Springs will be added approximately one month later. Source
Which means four weeks into the season normal mode gear will be on par with T2 pvp weapons, that most players will barely have at that time. It probably will not take too long before a lot of players get their hands on the hardmode ilvl509 pve weapons and upgrade them to ilvl516, which is 14 ilvl and one socket better than the PvP elite ones. In other words - if you plan to play pvp competetively it's probably a good idea to look for a raid that clears hardmodes in a reasonable amount of time.
This problem could easily be solved if Blizzard would decide to put PvP Power on weapons. Of course healing is too high in pvp at the moment and needs some adjustment, but without PvP Power on weapons we will be forced to raid. Most really good weapons drop from the end bosses and these will take more time and wipes than Morchok or Yor'Shaj for sure, especially before the nerfs.
As Blizzard did not respond to this issues for many weeks now, I think it is time to get some attention towards it. Maybe I am wrong, so let me know, what you think.

Vica versa PvE somehow feels mandatory as competitive PvP player, which is absolutely retarded...
I had high hopes when I first learned about the new stat PvP-power... sweet disappointment.
Maybe they'll change something pre release.

There's little more to it. The ideas, the solutions, the numbers, the math behind every piece of information presented to Blizzard in hope for change (for the better) they always manage to do the complete opposite & create more problems for everyone.
Blizzard doesn't listen to the public, their game isn't based on public feedback or community ideas, suggestions and thoughts, instead it's just what they decided amongst the well-experienced staff at work that day.
It's a pity If they listened to their customers who have the experience etc, then the game would be overall better for everyone.
But no, blizzard insists that if I want to have an advantage in the Arena, that I should be clearing their hardest challenges in-game while leaving myself with little of my own life.
I've never had a hardcore raiding guild and I don't plan to. Just because Blizzard decide that you should be rewarded more for having no life. Brilliant.

Posted 31 July 2012 - 01:07 PM
Who knows how it will be with pve weps but i doubt it will be more retarded than what it currently is.

Posted 31 July 2012 - 01:52 PM
I just wished that doing Arena made you better in Arena, and finishing raids made you better in raids. If PvP gear was used in PvE because it made you better, it'd be nerfed in a month. Now Blizzard are actually going through with a change that rewards using PvE gear in PvP. Dumb imo.

I have been off this community for quite a while. I had to quit running for a bit because of an ankle injury. I am trying to get back to it. Sure would help to have a running partner. Is there anyone here in the Shingle Springs/Placerville, CA area looking for a "running mate"? (pun intended)
I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.
definition of running: To move swiftly on foot so that both feet leave the ground during each stride.
9/18/10 Graduate C25k
10/2/10 Run For Courage 5k time 47.18

hello fellow penguins!
i just completed my first 5k this morning. i did it. i was the very last runner to cross the line, but it's ok, i finished. i completed a C25K program last week and it was a fantastic experience. not sure if i'll do another 5k, but i'll try shorter distances until i build my endurance up a bit more. just wanted to encourage everyone to run your own race.
peace, shelly
Congrats, Shelly, on your first 5K. My first 5K was September 19, 2010. I had said I'd never race, but my sister had lost her only child to osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer that effects mostly children) and she was going to walk it. I had begun running back in March of 2010 and finished couch to 5K just before that 5K.
Since then I have gone on to run many more 5Ks, a few 5-milers, some 10Ks, two half marathons and, most recently, on October 21, 2012, a full marathon. I have done all of these at my penguin pace and been happy, happy, happy to be waddling along.
This penguin community is so awesome. I remember my flurry of posts in the early days. I've been away from the forum for awhile, but I just had to come back and see how everyone was doing and to provide some encouragement. Runners are (with a few exceptions) fabulous people and very supportive.
So keep going, Shelly and everyone else whether your goals are of the 5K type or if the marathon is in your future. You can do this!!!

I am most definitely a penguin! I never ran in my life unless being chased or if a small child was in danger. My high school gym teacher had told me there was no way to be as slow as I was. Not encouraging. Anyway, at 42 I decided why not do the "impossible" and run? I started C25K in August and did my first 5k on October 27, 2012. I came in at 38 minutes, which is faster than ever for me, and I did not walk. I intend to increase my pace over time if I can, but mostly I just want to keep on keeping on running.
@Wayna72: how did the marathon go? I hope well - I'm in the planning stages for picking my next 1/2 -- Maybe St. pats day in Virginia beach. Also depend on travel schedule and other such issues.
I've never worried about the E-mails -- I don't rely on them. I usually lurk once/twice a week -- when I remember and have something to post.
I have continued to heal -- pushing the pace when I can but still keeping it below running pace. I am trying to give it another month before really cutting loose. I have just in last month been able to put more pressure on the knee -- for example, getting into back stance in karate; cutting loose on kicks a little more, feeling strange that it doesn't hurt much the next day...
Doing local 5k tomorrow -- cannot pass up race that starts less than 1k from my front door. Wife is walking with me - this is second race for her after Chemo (she is 3 yrs post treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer). shooting for post treatment PR, hard part for me is slowing down to stay with her -- I can walk fast especially in a race setting -- our local race will have around 1200 or so folks in the 5K and another 400-500 in 10k.
Hope everyone has good holiday

Way to go,
I've almost finished dead last - Last Male several times (both 5k and 10k) but never, dead last. I commend you for finishing -- its easy to be down -- but think how many people do you know that have never finished? As for the distance - I like the 5k -- even when I am slow, its never too long of a race. Look forward to hearing about your future experiences...

Your post is realy nice. I think I can develop my skills from hare. Thanks for the sharing.
Stick with it. Running is a fun and wonderful post. It is truly one of the only sports and activities that you can count on continual progress no matter what your genetic makeup is. Just be smart and stick with professional level advice.
Blogging about motivation, injury prevention and training lessons I've learned at TeachtoRun.com and working on "The Ultimate 5k Plan" at HowtoRun5k.com.
I love this - I had never heard the term penguin before! I am definitely a slower runner than a lot of people I know, and after finishing C25k last year, I spent the fall season just enjoying the experience of running for thirty minutes straight without stopping, regardless of the pace.
Now I'm trying to train for a half marathon so I'm working some on speed just so I'm not out on the course forever... but I still think that the BEST reason to work on speed is so that you can then slow down and enjoy yourself and just be out running and loving the scenery and taking it easy.
My favorite miles are the ones where I settle in around an eleven minute pace and just look around and enjoy being outside.

Hi, I am a slow non runner. I call my running style jalking or jogging walk I try to work out regulary and try to run , a couple days of week. Which hasn't happened much this summer due to kids being home. I finished my first 5k this summer in 56 min. Most of which was jalking and walking. I think I would have finished faster if I just did a fast walk. LOL Yesterday I ran about a 1/2 mile with only a few walking and breaks to breathe. I found my slogging penguin pace, it didn't even hurt to breathe while i ran. I am looking forward to my next 5k in Sept. Eventually (couple of years down the road) I think it would be majorily cool to do a 1/2 marathon.
I run a 13.5 minute mile. Does that make me a penguin? Hahaha. Love the term.
It doesn't really matter to me how "fast" I am. I'm just running for my own fitness and enjoyment.
Hey I really enjoyed this post, and the responses. I am a big supporter of walkers, and it is REALLY becoming a fast growing population in the half marathon industry, so recently I've started to add a "W" to walker friendly half marathons at the half marathon site I manage called Halfmarathonsearch.com
I created an "official walker friendly minimum" of 4 hours to have a "W" next to the race, to be considered Walker Friendly.
It will take some time to implement on all states, but we have started to update it on some states and are now asking every half marathon that updates their dates with us if they meet that standard.
Over the last few years, I had gone through a couple injuries, and really came to have an even greater appreciation for the walking community. Not that I didn't prior, but when I started out as a walker post injury, I realized how many races were so un-supportive of the walkers way in the back, leaving aid stations before the walker participants reached them, no water left for them, removing patrol for the roads for those that were in the back of the pack, it was very disheartening to see and experience. So I'm now trying to create more "Walker Friendly" awareness to the half marathon race organizers' community, starting with our official 4 hour minimum.
We also have a growing number of members that are walkers joining our Fifty States Half Marathon Club that I manage, so I wanted to be able to contribute to the walking community, for so many reasons. With races becoming more supportive, it really helps promote the "fun" factor for walkers to get out and enjoy without feeling like they have to stress out to finish on time.

Cross train... that will strengthen the muscles in other parts of your body, including your core, to support you while you run. Running will build the muscles you need to run, but it doesn't build the muscles that support those muscles...
You sound like you're taking the sensible approach. Just do as much as your body will allow. When I started running I couldn't use the c25k app because I couldn't run for a whole minute once, let alone several times during a session. I now run for 26 minutes several months later. It's been a long time building up and I've done a lot of weights/cross-training to get there. I had to stop using the c25k app because it wanted me to progress too quickly... what have I learnt? That all runners are different, and we all progress in our own time. That's the beauty of running... it's about 'me'.
I have been a runner on and off my whole life. Back in my 20's I ran a 10 minute mile which I thought was slow then. Fast forward to me being 41 now and just getting back into running after a summer off and I am struggling! I feel like I can't catch my breath. I finally got a garmin so I know how fast I am going. With walk breaks I go about 13 minute mile. I think I might even need to slow down more. It's just like I go out too fast and get winded. Makes me laugh when I say fast, I am not fast. All I want is to go out and enjoy and be able to run for 30 minutes straight. I would really like a place to talk to other slow runners. All the blogs I read are about such fast runners and then I feel bad about it. This is something we should all feel good about, right?

It's circle time! Gather 'round this delicious cheese & crackers spread at your next party or surprise your preschooler with a friendly afternoon snack!
Weekdays on NICK
Combine the cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth. Add the seasoning and food coloring for a more intense orange, if desired.
Spoon the cheese dip onto one side of a serving platter. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the cheese dip. Shape into a 4-by-3 inch mounded oval, using the plastic wrap to make it smooth. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.
Following the picture as your guide, arrange four orange and three white cheese slices, overlapping by 1 inch, extending from the right side of the cheese dip as the fish body. Use a paring knife to taper the cheese slices to create the tail end. Use the scraps and other slices to make the eyebrows, tail, and top fin. Cut the remaining orange cheese slice to make the two front fins.
To make the eyes, cut a 1-inch piece from each wide end of the hard-boiled eggs. Cut the black olive into small ovals for the pupils and place on top of the eggs.
To make the mouth, flatten the slice of pumpernickel bread with a rolling pin. Cut out the mouth shape. Cut a 1/4-inch slice from one of the remaining pieces of hard-boiled egg and remove the yolk. Trim the slice to fit as the teeth for the slice of pumpernickel. Cut a piece of radish for the tongue.
Arrange the face parts on top of the cheese dip. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent the cheese from drying out and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Add round crackers on the platter to look like bubbles. DIVE IN!
Kids will have fun in the kitchen making these bubble bites just right!
A swimsational spread that will keep kids dipping back into the kitchen for more of this fish cracker snack!
Something is fishy about these snacks� but kids won't suspect that a tasty treat could also be healthy!
Fishin' for a quick and easy treat for your Bubble Guppies fan?

A couple is saying that the fire that destroyed their home could have started from an oxygen tank. (WRDW-TV / Oct. 19, 2011)
News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A morning fire has left an elderly couple homeless after they lost everything in their home on McDowell Street.
To make things worse, the husband is receiving hospice care and uses an oxygen machine.That machine may have even sparked the fire.
News 12 investigated just how dangerous these machines can be.
When you mix a lot of oxygen and fire, the results can be really dangerous. But after talking to local experts, they say oxygen machines are extremely safe as long the right safety precautions are taken.
It all started when Larry Brizius got up to fill his oxygen machine with more water.
"They see a little spark, they didn't pay any attention, and they came back and found the bed on fire," said Battalion Chief Richard Burts.
He says he's never really heard of this happening before like this. And neither have local companies that provide these kinds of oxygen machines.
"I have been doing this since 1985 and I have never heard of a concentrator actually causing a fire," said Brenda Stafford, who works for Petsch Respiratory Services.
But what will cause a fire is smoking near the oxygen.
"Most of the time when there has been a house fire there has been someone smoking with oxygen on," she said.
Stafford says this happened just recently to a man who uses equipment from their company and he was burned because of it.
"They were smoking and they actually fell asleep and dropped their cigarette on the bed," Stafford said.
But Mr. Brizius and his wife say they weren't smoking. Once the fire broke out and they escaped, they say they heard some explosions.
"If you've got it hot enough that it forces the safety release valve to open up, well, you are going to have all the sudden a huge flow of gas, pressurized oxygen coming out of the tank, which could make the fire at that point be much stronger," Stafford said.
But she says the fire needs to be really hot for that to happen. She says the biggest thing most patients worry about is not the machines, it is the oxygen tanks themselves.
"The main thing is storage of the tanks and safety because a lot time that is the scariest thing to patients, you want to make sure you don't have them in the closet, you want them out in a ventilated area, you want keep your tanks where they won't fall over," she said.
When an oxygen machine is brought into a home, it should only be plugged into grounded outlets.
Stafford just wants everyone to know hundreds like Mr. Brizius use oxygen machines in our area, and they're normally really safe.
But now the Brizius family isn't so sure.
The actual cause of this fire is still under investigation. Right now it's the couple saying it could have been the oxygen machine.

Here comes the hot weather again: Another spring heat wave is expected to move into the Bay Area this week, baking riders and spectators at the Amgen Tour of California bike race on Tuesday and breaking records -- one of them a century old -- on Wednesday.
That spate of temperatures in the 90s last month? What's coming will surpass those marks and edge toward triple digits. An excessive heat watch for the area has been issued for Tuesday and Wednesday by the National Weather Service.
Tuesday's leg of the Amgen tour is likely to see cyclists traversing Mount Hamilton and Mount Diablo almost continuously reaching for their water bottles, while spectators will be slathering sunscreen and trying to find shade.
"We are going to see some records," weather service forecaster Diana Henderson said Sunday. Fire warnings in the region will be high, she said.
San Jose could see its record high of 94 degrees for May 14 -- set in 1905 -- broken with a top temperature of 96 expected Wednesday, Henderson said. A record high of 89 also is expected in San Francisco; that would break a record for that date set in 1922.
And that won't even be the expected regional high: Forecasts have Gilroy breaking triple digits with a high of 101, Henderson said. Triple-digit temperatures also are expected in King City and Hollister, with a high of 99 in both Livermore and Antioch.
If seeking relief is in your plans, cooling centers may be opened on unusually hot days, typically community centers, fairgrounds or public buildings like libraries, according to PG&E. Residents can also head for thecoast, where temperatures are expected to be about 15 degrees lower: 85 in Half Moon Bay and 89 in Monterey. At Point Reyes in Marin County, the high Wednesday will be 81 -- "pretty darn hot for there," Henderson said.
Sunday's moderate temperatures, breezy conditions and cloudless skies were the last mild weather the region will see until next weekend.
A high-pressure system will begin edging across the region Monday. It will "not allow the sea breeze to come in," Henderson said, "and force an offshore (air) flow that will heat things up."
By Saturday, though, seasonal temperatures are expected to return, and the marine layer will again shroud the coast, she said.
On Sunday morning in downtown Livermore, where the sidewalks were crowded and the temperature was in the 70s, the distant hills were already the scorched brown of August. At the city's "splash pad" fountain for children, kids soaked themselves and squealed.
Valeri Polioudakis watched her nephew play in the water and said the pad will be mobbed when the heat comes Wednesday.
"It's very popular," she said of the pad. "I came here two weeks ago when it was super-hot, and it was crazy. It's nice for the kids to have someplace to keep cool."
Around the corner on First Street, health food store owner Craig Van Der Kamp said he hoped shoppers would come out despite the hot weather. The city's redesign of the business district -- moving traffic away and planting trees -- should help.
"The improvements mean a lot when it's that hot," he said. "And it sounds like it's going to be brutally hot."
Is the second major heat wave of the spring just an extension of the state's record dry winter and drought and part of a larger weather cycle or another example of climate change?
It could be both, UC Berkeley chemistry and earth science professor Kristie Boering, who studies climate change, wrote in an email.
"Any one brief heat wave event, such as that predicted for the coming week, is really weather, not climate," she said. "It's the longer-term patterns that are more telling as to whether we should expect more of such heat waves in the Bay Area, or not, due to climate change."
But either way, it's going to be a hot week.
For Mary Moran, who sells fruit and grilled food at a roadside stand in San Jose, it means "drinking a lot of water" and taking more breaks, she said Sunday at her business on Commercial Place. She also said she expects the roasting weather to be good for business.
"People eat a lot of fruit when it's that hot," she said.

B2B communication using IBM MQ
By Dheeraj Kumar M on Nov 12, 2012
Oracle B2B 11g, provides the out-of-the box ability to connect to IBM MQ to exchange the message. This is support is provided via JMS offering of Oracle B2B.
This is an addition to the stack of existing communication capabilities of B2B with trading partners.
There are 2 ways of connecting to IBM MQ using B2B
1. Credential based connectivity
2. .bindings based connectivity
As a pre-requisite to connect to IBM MQ, it is required to provide the following libraries in classpath:
a. com.ibm.mqjms.jar
b. dhbcore.jar
c. com.ibm.mq.jar
d. com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar
e. mqcontext.jar
f. com.ibm.mq.pcf.jar
g. com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar
h. com.ibm.mq.headers.jar
i. fscontext.jar
j. jms.jar
Add the above jars into domain library directory and the directory usually located at $DOMAIN_DIR/lib.
The jars located in this($DOMAIN_DIR/lib) directory will be picked up and added dynamically to the end of the server classpath at server startup.
For eg. <$fmwhome>/user_projects/domains/
Alternatively the above jar's can also be added as part of the setDomainEnv.sh
Credential based connectivity :
Outbound: : Configure the trading partner delivery channel for using "Generic JMS" protocol
Inbound: : Configure the internal delivery channel for using "Generic JMS" protocol
with the following details:
|Parameter Name
|Destination Name
|MQ Queue Name
|Connection Factory
|MQ Queue Manager Name
|Destination Provider
|java.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.mq.jms.context.WMQInitialContextFactory;java.naming.provider.url=<host>:<QM Listen port>/<MQ Channel Name>;
|User Name
|MQ User Name
|MQ password
.bindings based connectivity
As a pre-requisite, get/generate the .bindings file in MQServer. This can be done by MQ Administrator
Set the following values in the respective delivery channel for outbound / inbound
|Parameter Name
|Destination Name
|MQ Queue Name
|Connection Factory
|MQ Queue Manager Name
|Destination Provider
|java.naming.factory.initial=com.ibm.mq.jms.context.WMQInitialContextFactory;java.naming.provider.url=file:///<location of .bindings file>;

ORINDA -- The Las Lomas High wrestling team put seven wrestlers into championship matches and captured six individual titles to help win the Diablo Foothill Athletic League tournament Saturday at Miramonte.
The Knights qualified 10 wrestlers for the North Coast Section Championships Feb. 22-23 at Newark Memorial and finished with 284 points as a team. Dougherty Valley was second with 233 points.
The Knights, who also won an undefeated DFAL dual title as well as the NCS Division II East Bay team dual championship, led by a comfortable 142-128 margin before the medal rounds began, only lost one of their final 10 matches.
Amir Khakimov (126 pounds), Levi Russell (145), Trey Brazil (160), Jason Sullivan (182), Lance Larson (220) and Dylan Walsh (285) all were crowned league champs. Willie Amen placed second at 195 after Dougherty's Emanuel Anaim pinned him at 3:24.
In the grittiest matches of the tournament thanks to the stakes, Jeff Caldwell (120), Akmal Khakimov (138) and Saleb Wali (170) all won their third-place matches to advance to NCS. The top three placers at the DFAL tournament qualified for the section championships.
"It's been a good day," Las Lomas coach John Welch said. "There is a lot of good leadership on the team. A lot of senior leadership. Russell, Walsh and Brazil are our three captains.
"We won the dual team title. That, league, and this -- it's a nice way to end the team season, and for the seniors, the team career. It's been a fun year. Hopefully we'll get two more weeks of it."
The Wildcats send eight to NCS, led by league champs Max Levchenko (113) and Emanuel Anaim (195). Alhambra, which placed third, was led by champion Avi Buyuker (108). The Bulldogs send seven to NCS.

About the Book
Deadly Harvest in Michael Stanley's beloved Detective Kubu series tracks a series of murders and a mysterious witch doctor whose nefarious potions might hold the key to a web of missing persons.
When young girls start to go missing, Samantha, a new detective on the Botswana police force suspects that muti, a traditional African medicine, is the reason. She and Detective David "Kubu" Bengu race to stop a serial killer, all as the father of one of the victims threatens to take matters into his own hands.
Weaving together a thrilling mystery with a fascinating look at modern-day Africa, Deadly Harvest is filled with elements suspense and plot twists that will keep you captivated until the very end.
Girls are disappearing in Botswana. The rumor is they're being harvested for muti, a witch doctor's potion traditionally derived from plants and animals—and which, some believe, can be made more potent by adding human remains. Detective David "Kubu" Bengu joins the investigation with the police force's newest detective—and only woman—Samantha Khama, for whom the case is personal.
Soon one girl's father, convinced that his daughter's death is linked to the recent popularity of a political candidate, takes the law into his own hands. After the father flees, what Kubu and Samantha find in the politician's home confirms their worst fears: muti containing human DNA is real.
Now Kubu and Samantha are thrust into a harrowing race to stop a serial killer or killers—and those who would pay for their special, lethal muti.
