FDA warns on insomnia drugs, suggests lower doses
The U.S. health regulator warned that taking a widely prescribed insomnia drug at night may impair driving and alertness the next morning, and recommended the bedtime dose be lowered.
New data showed that levels of the drug zolpidem may be high enough to impair alertness in some patients the morning after using it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on its website on Thursday.
Women appear to be more susceptible to the risk as they eliminate zolpidem from their bodies slower than men do, the regulator added.
Zolpidem is marketed as a generic under several brand names such as Ambien, Ambien CR, Edluar and Zolpimist.
Ambien is a Sanofi drug that is marketed by SciClone Pharmaceuticals Inc in China. Zolpimist is made by NovaDel Pharma Inc and Edluar belongs to Meda AB.
The regulator has asked manufacturers to lower the recommended doses of the drugs.
Sanofi, NovaDel and Meda could not immediately be reached for comment.
However, the FDA did not recommend any change for another insomnia drug, Transcept Pharmaceuticals' Intermezzo, saying that the drug's label already recommended a lower dosage for women than for men.
The FDA also said that all drugs taken for insomnia can impair driving and other activities that require alertness the morning after use.

I agree with Ruth!
WE must figure out some way of birth control - educating others.
I mean birth control as in free birth control and educating others about over-population, etc
Overpopulation is both a cause and result of extreme poverty. In some countries centuries of huge families have subdivided farms until a family of ten or twelve is trying to live on a few square feet of arable land. As this is impossible, the child death rate is horrendous. These countries have no safety net, so in order to have support in their old age -- say, above 45 or 50 -- parents choose to have many children so one or two will survive to take care of them. (Although where birth control has been made available, family sizes often drop sharply, so maybe that's a big missing factor.) (As to global warming, I guess that's largely a combination of overpopulation and increasing industrialization, as more third-world people start using automobiles and tractors.)
I agree that overpopulation is both a cause and result of extreme poverty. That's why I think innovations are required to reduce population to sustainable levels. Suppose, for example, people joined into voluntary groups of 300 or less to collectively decide on reproduction. All of their children would be obligated to take care of all of the parent cohort, and the parent cohort would be collectively responsible for raising the children as well as choosing who should be biological parents. No single parents, no orphans, no childless couples facing old age. Under these circumstances, groups which choose to favor biological parents who are healthier, smarter, and less criminal would pay off for everyone. Screening for genetic disease would pay off in fewer ill offspring who would burden rather than support the parent cohort. If the population must contract, which it must, no couple should be forced to bear all of the sacrifices alone. Of course it's radical.
lack of education, liberal arts and condoms.. seems IUD's are huge now though.. and fail on the Vatican splendor from hell~ pfffft
Right Strong Atheist!
Have you heard about the Cane toad problem in Northern Australia ? Well, the story is that South American toads were introduced to Northern Australia to combat insects which eat the sugar cane harvest. Unfortunately, the toads found the environment favourable, found natural food sources and proliferated because there was no natural defence to them. They are literally everywhere to the detriment of the native wildlife. Another example is the European Lantana bush which was introduced to gardens in Australia and found the bushland an easy environment in which to multiply. Lantana covers and strangles native vegetation. The fauna and flora described is like vermin and efforts are made to destroy it before it causes extinction and destroys the ecosystem.
The human population can be viewed as verminous like Cane toads and Lantana in my opinion. Since we left Africa and populated the world many species have suffered but human population numbers are now unprecedented and consequently a large part of the natural world is extinct or facing extinction. There is a direct link between human population and the erosion of the worlds last resources.
I see beauty in ourselves living our lives in comfortable civilisation. It's only when I stand back and look at the planet that I see the ugliness caused by massive human overpopulation.
True, but I think we can change. We have the capacity to rise above our animal instinct to overproduce. At least I hope so. Otherwise we're headed for extinction PDQ.
Bearing in mind the statistics, will human civilisation last another 1,000 years ? Perhaps natural factors including famine, disease, warfare and poverty will correct the human population level and slow reproduction but it seems already to late.
Of course we are headed for extinction. All species always have been. As a sensationalist statement/scare tactic, it just muddies the waters of those trying to actually use science and policy to affect societal change. Usually it is the uneducated ravening lunatic proponents of conservation that hurt the efforts/image of conservationists, not the direct action of their opponents.
Think about it. Sensationalism never helps real science. If you have the real data on your side, stick to that, and not black and white statements. In this case, the data is on your side. Don't throw that away. Learn the data, and how to present it. Reality, well argued and supported in an urbane manner is FAR scarier than sensationalist statements.
I don't believe we are headed for a total planetary burn-off here. Life (and species less capable of adapting) have survived worse. It will just suck seriously.
Breeding beyond capacity and not even knowing/caring the capacity limits is stupid, but so are humans.
We are no different than a virus.

Hey guys,
I'm normally not big on customization, but Moosebot has come up with an incredibly simple way to make articulated short legs. Take a pair of minifig legs and carefully cut off the legs just below the rounded part. Now here's the incredibly clever bit - the holes on what was originally the fig's rear end become connector to attach feet. You could use yellow 1x1 plates as in the image shown to be bare feet, or use plates that match the legs, or even the 1x1 plate with tooth to be pointed boots. What a great way to make hobbits, dwarfs, kids, etc, without having to use the static stubbies.

Have you ever purchased a product from Apple or Zappos? Have you ever stayed at a Joie de Vivre hotel in California? If so, you are more than likely to do so again. These companies have great cultures, and great cultures build customer loyalty.
Great cultures occur at companies where people like doing what they do and work toward a common purpose. They have fun, feel challenged and have freedom to make decisions that affect customer experiences. They have power to create change and are recognized for doing the right thing.
How do you know if your organization has a great culture? Start by surveying your members—but only if you are ready, willing and able to do something with the information you collect. Surveying members is important because your culture is not what you think it is. It is not what you write down. It is not what you tell others. If you want real insight into your culture, listen to the stories that are widely told about you. Culture is in the stories that employees tell one another and that customers tell their friends and families. Stories are how your culture gets handed from one employee to the next and from one member to the next. Don't just listen to the stories that you want to hear. You must also listen to and accept those stories you don't want to hear if you are going to build a great culture.
Your culture is both a cause and effect. It is the cause of happiness and loyalty for both employees and customers. It is the effect of conditions you set. You cannot "go around" your policies, processes, comp plans, or management and leadership style to address culture. You can only go through them. If you want to build a culture for loyalty, you must first address the conditions you set.
To determine if your beliefs will build a great culture, ask yourself if you agree or disagree with the following statements:
- People are generally good and can be trusted.
- People want to do their best and learn to get better.
- People want to be a part of something that is achieving greatness.
- Leadership is to serve others, not to be served by others.
- Bad attitudes and bad behavior are the cancers of great culture.
- Traditional motivators (high incentive pay) are not a sustainable energy source—inspiration is.
- Hands and feet do the work. Hearts and minds create the culture.
- When the day is over, people want to feel they made a positive contribution to the world.
- Authenticity is everything. Culture is not born in the marketing department.
If you agreed with all nine statements, you have what it takes to build incredible culture. Actually, if you agreed with the first five, you still have the beliefs that can create great culture.
Great cultures also have a strong climate of accountability—not the kind of accountability that throws people out if they don't hit their goals, but the kind of accountability that has everyone looking for ways to achieve goals and make every situation better. In great cultures, leaders hold themselves accountable for what an organization learns and does. Accountable organizations work hard to utilize employees' strengths, develop their capabilities and provide the tools they need to get the job done. Accountable organizations work hard to create clarity of purpose and to define the main effort of the company and the responsibilities of each position.
To gain a better understanding of how you can create a great culture in your organization, I suggest that you read the following books:
"Tribal Leadership: Leveraging Natural Groups to Build Thriving Organizations" by Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright.
"Human Sigma: Managing the Employee- Customer Encounter" by John H. Fleming and Jim Asplund.
"The Art of Action: How Leaders Close the Gaps between Plans, Actions, and Results" by Stephen Bungay.
Take a few ingredients from each of these books, mix them with your beliefs and your idea of a great company, and write your vision of the future. It will be worth your time and effort.

Telephone Problems
The telephone is indispensable to most people—for keeping in touch with family, friends, companies we wish to do business with and, for those confined to home, the outside world. This wonderful communication device is also a favorite tool of many businesses and organizations for contacting you to sell their services or otherwise solicit your money or support, whether legitimately or not.
Problems related to your telephone can run the gamut from technical or contractual issues and service complaints, to billing problems and increasing rates, to improper use of your telephone line for incoming calls that may fall into the category of nuisance, or even menace. In fact, many unsuspecting and vulnerable people are taken advantage of every day by means of their telephones.
What is a consumer to do? Where do you turn when you have a specific type of complaint? As various government agencies have responsibility for handling telephone-related issues, the following links should provide some answers:
Local and Long-Distance Service
Georgia's Do Not Call Law
Telemarketing Fraud
Cell Phones
Cell Phone Directories
Prepaid Calling Cards
900 Numbers
Deceptive Local Phone Directory Listings
Unsolicited Faxes

The iPhone 5S, which went on sale Friday, includes a fingerprint sensor that lets users tap the phone's home button to unlock their phone, rather than enter a four-digit passcode.
But Franken said that the fingerprint system could be potentially disastrous for users if someone does eventually hack it. While a password can be kept a secret and changed if it's hacked, he said, fingerprints are permanent and are left on everything a person touches, making them far from a secret.
"Let me put it this way: if hackers get a hold of your thumbprint, they could use it to identify and impersonate you for the rest of your life," the Minnesota Democrat said in a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Apple Inc. officials didn't immediately return an email seeking comment on Franken's letter.
But the Cupertino, Calif., company has said that this kind of technology significantly boosts security for users.
According to Apple, the fingerprint data is stored on the phone in a place that's inaccessible to other apps and to Apple's remote servers. In addition, Apple says it's not possible to convert a fingerprint from a police file into something the phone will recognize, as the sensor reads a sub-epidermal layer of the finger.
Meanwhile, anyone worried about fingerprint scan has the option of disabling the feature and sticking with the passcode.

text: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Oklahoma EHR Largely Unscathed by Tornado Unlike paper medical records that Hurricane Katrina soaked and batted about in the Gulf Coast winds in 2005, electronic health records (EHR) from the Oklahoma City area remained intact and available throughout most of the recent tornado that struck the suburb of Moore, reported ModernHealthcare.com. Oklahoma's Secure Medical Records Transfer Network (SMRTnet) stores records for more than 2 million people and connects 90% of the hospital beds in the area, and while communication between SMRTnet and Norman Regional Health System (NRHS) was down for 7 hours at one point, it remained open to other networked hospitals. Many patients from Moore Medical Center had been evacuated to the Norman Regional Hospital and HealthPlex about 10 miles away; both are part of NRHS. Despite the diffusion of Moore patients from their local facility to places across the metro area, spokespeople for the hospital systems said they were able to get needed information to providers via SMRTnet.

As red and gold leaves begin to carpet your lawn, the annual quandary arises: What to wear for Halloween?
With all the movies released this year – from animated features to storybook and comic-inspired adventures – there's plenty of fodder for homemade Halloween costume ideas. And of course, the news — regardless of where you read it — never fails to generate creative ideas. (Truth is stranger than fiction!)
Here are a few 2012 characters you could replicate. And don't worry if your outfit isn't as snazzy as the original. That's the beauty of Halloween: It's your chance to put your own spin on an icon.
Snow White or the Evil Queen a la "Mirror, Mirror" or "Snow White and the Huntsman": For the fairest of the land, find a blue velvet top at a second-hand store or discount retailer. Cut the neck further, gluing ribbon around it. A curtain works nicely for the puffy sleeves. Sew it to the shoulders of the velvet shirt. You can make your own white petticoat and yellow broadcloth skirt or find something comparable, topped off with a black wig and red bow.
The dress and cape of the wicked witch can be crafted from cheap satin with stiffened white cotton for the collar. Follow a basic tunic dress pattern, but with wider sleeves, for effect. Try Lycra for the balaclava mask that attaches to the crown, any gold material glued over a wire frame. Finish the look with long black boots, red glitter nail polish. And don't forget to carry around a bright red apple.
Batman or Catwoman from the "Dark Knight Rises":For your own version of the Caped Crusader, start with a hard plastic Batman mask, the kind without a back. Cut the ears off, along with the bill of a tight-fitting baseball cap. Glue the mask face piece to the front of the cap. Use foam rubber to shape the ears and glue them on top of the cap.
Stretchy T-shirt sheets are perfect for the mask and cape. Glue the material to the cap and mask, forming the back and sides of the hooded cloak. With a basic gray shirt and black shorts, you've got the classic Batman look.
The cat burglar is literally a sexier version of your childhood cat costume. Don a pair of polyester leggings and a black spandex leotard. Add a pair of black gloves, mask and black boots. Tie it all together with a gold belt. You're ready for the prowl.
We were looking for the Black Widow from the "Avengers," but we found inspiration of a different kind from Martha Stewart, who offers this killer list of homemade Halloween costumes for adults. — even if you've never heard of the "Il Trucco e la Maschera." (and really, who has?)
Sometimes it's all in the makeup. That's the case for Stewart's Black Widow.
Use white cream makeup to cover the brow, face and neck. With black makeup, paint high, arching brows. Add dark-green frosting powder for contouring and false eyelashes. Line each eye using black cream makeup, extending the liner past the outer corner of eye. Also from that point, sweep powder blush out and down. Apply red lipstick and liner.
A few final touches: Use gel to slick back your hair before fitting a black wig into place. Attach plastic spiders to your face using a dab of spirit gum on a cotton swab. And finish with long black fake fingernails.
If the silver screen doesn't inspire, jump on over to TV, where newsmakers of all stripes can get your creative juices going. You can masquerade as a real-life icon!
Pop sensation Katy Perry: Perry's unique take on fashion has inspired many costume creations. If you want to channel your inner "California Gurl," the simplest take-off involves decorating a bra with bedazzles: multi-colored gems such as hearts, stars and circles. For the bottoms, you can create hot pants using a high-waisted shorts pattern and shiny fabric.
Or try this more complex design: start with a white strapless dress. Sew different colored panels of sheer fabric together on a cotton backing to form the skirt section. Adorn the top of the dress with twisted pipe cleaners for swirl candy and sweets made from foam, sequins, glitter and beads.
Complete the ensemble with a brightly colored wig, a lot of body glitter, blue and green makeup and even shoes covered in silver and aqua glitter.
President Barack Obama or Mrs. Obama.
Creating the politician's look is as easy as donning business attire and a promotional 2012 campaign button. Accessories make all the difference here. For the first lady, a sleeveless dress that shows off toned arms, a fitted cardigan, pearl necklace and earrings. An added bonus: Create a podium complete with microphones and presidential seal copied from the Internet. You're ready for the campaign trail.

Doctors in primary care practices
Nurses in primary care
Practice Managers/administrators
These are busy healthcare professionals who are bombarded with lots of marketing messages. They do have to undertake this statutory training. The online approach is very new for the UK although we have had some success with getting the message out, we think our current design lacks any flair...
Ideally some attractive templates into which we can then load our marketing messages for the various audiences. The templates could go out electronically or occasionally by snail mail (this is the UK!) The brief is pretty broad really and i attach a rather unimaginative 'flyer' that we have used which has some key messages in. Also attached is an advert to go into a professional newsletter shortly (we have been given space)
This is the first time we have used this service so please forgive us for being vague, but then I guess that gives latitude to the creative community. Thanks and we look forward to working with you. Please contact either myself, rob Thomas on firstname.lastname@example.com or my colleague Paul Wilkins at firstname.lastname@example.com

Evri has met the end of the road. The Seattle startup, backed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, has decided to wind down its commercial offerings, focusing now on R&D efforts, GeekWire has learned.
"Evri has made the decision to change course and look for other applications of its patented semantic technologies," said former CEO Will Hunsinger. "As a result of that decision, we have reduced staff, discontinued commercial operations, and focused remaining efforts on R&D." The company also recently vacated its offices in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Several of Evri's top employees, including CTO Deep Dhillon and Vice President of Product Adrian Klein, have already moved on to other companies. Klein is now at EveryMove, while Dhillon joined Alliance Health Networks last May.
Hunsinger, meanwhile, has joined a new San Francisco social sports startup called SportStream, which spun out from Evri in June and raised $3.5 million from Paul Allen.
Evri was originally created to help people make better sense of news and information. At one point, it was led by Neil Roseman, the former vice president of technology at Amazon.com.

Organisational unit: Research Grouping
Research in Animal Welfare and Behaviour spans fundamental studies of cognition and emotion, through validation of animal welfare assessment methodologies, identifying and quantifying welfare problems and their causes in farm, laboratory, companion and working animals, to implementing research based solutions in the 'real world'. This unique integrated approach is achieved by collaborations between senior principle investigators with expertise in different areas, including fundamental behaviour, cognition, emotion; companion animal behaviour; welfare on farm and implementation of welfare solutions; and statistical and mathematical approaches.
The group collaborates extensively with others outside of the School, and AWB research is firmly embedded within the University Research Centre for Behavioural Biology (an interdisciplinary venture between biological sciences, mathematics and veterinary sciences).

Ah, burnouts — so stupid, yet so satisfying. Just about every car can do them, but some are better than others.
My car, with maybe 60 horsepower and big back tires, absolutely refuses to break traction on pavement, so the world of burnin' out is beyond me. Perhaps you, dear reader, have more experience with budget hoonmobiles that want nothing more than to light up the rears with little to no provocation.

Ceramic wedding rings
Why we need a ceramic wedding rings
Clearly, wedding celebration rings, ceramic wedding rings, are necessary to pairs planning to wed. Many couples spend huge quantities of time in the choice of rings. The large cost of wedding celebration rings, furthermore, suggests they have an actual definition for pairs.
So, ceramic wedding rings!
But what precisely ceramic wedding rings is meaning?
The groom and bride generally give each other rings, ceramic wedding rings, in the shape of a circle, signifying that they really hope that their love will lack end.
The assumption is that by putting on a wedding event ring, ceramic wedding rings, people acknowledge their marital commitment openly as well as in a regular way.
Whose Dedication ceramic wedding rings Is Signified?
Wearing a wedding event ring, ceramic wedding rings, suggested the dedication you are making to your partner as well as to your marital relationship that the ring is a consistent sign of your very own rededication as well as a recommitment to this connection, along with a means of acknowledging that publicly.
The ring that you wear, ceramic wedding rings, that was positioned on your finger by your spouse on your special day, does not represent your dedication to your marital relationship, your love for your partner, your loyalty. … It stands for the commitment, love as well as the loyalty of your spouse to you.

The Key to Drinking on Borrowed Time
Clearly I'm talking about drinking for mana here. I don't know what else you guys could be thinking…
And by "borrowed time", I'm picturing 5-man heroic with one of those tanks who plays with his eyes closed and his finger on the forward button. And I'm picturing you, with your mana bar empty, cursing and swearing, trying to keep up.
I don't get to look at other healers often. In 5 mans, I'm usually the healer. In raids, I'm too self centered to spy on my co-healer's drinking habits. But I do like to talk to other healers, especially healers who are in guilds similar to mine, where we're used to chilling a bit between pulls. And on the rare occasion where I'm not the healer in a 5 man, I'm watching my healer's every move.
So, healers condemned to running 5-mans, tell me, which scenario is more like you?
Scenario 1:
1- Mob pack dies
2- Drink
3- Catch up to group
4- Heal next pull
Scenario 2:
1- Mob pack dies
2-Catch up to group
3- Drink
4- Heal next pull
Scenario 1 is the careful healers. The "when I make a mess I clean it up right away" folk. These people are probably very successful and organized in their offline life.
They probably really hate 5 mans though.
Scenario 2 seems riskier (what if the tank pulls and I'm not ready?), but you have to get over appearances. Consider the following:
1- You can't sit down to drink while you're in combat, but if you're already drinking when someone pulls, you'll keep drinking.
2- If you mana bar has boiled dry, you want to drink as long as possible, but still be able to get up and back to business if you need to.
And which scenario allows you to drink into combat and get up when your team needs some heals?
Scenario 2.
Plus, if you're a paladin (I swear, holy paladins were designed with 5 mans in mind!), Scenario 2 allows you to regen some mana via Divine Plea so that when you do sit down to drink, your mana bar is already partially filled up.
So the key to dealing with hasty tank without running out of mana?
If you need to drink, drink before the pulls, not after.
EDIT: I've had a lot of people mention that a tank might pull if you're nearby but would wait if you're out of range. I'm not sure that a tank who can't see you sitting down and drinking is going to notice you're out of range. And unless I'm totally drained, I also don't want a tank to stop pulling. I'll drink for a few seconds into the pull, then stand up when I need to start healing. If I need more time, I'll ask for it.Explore posts in the same categories: General WoW

Hi there! I'm a Holy Pally and have been running 5-mans and a few raids as such since Cata dropped. I actually don't really have too many problems with going OOM much. In fact last night was probably the first time I had to sit down and have a drink in a 5-man hc for ages. This was actually because no one was using CC and so there was a lot of damage flying around. Normally though, with good CC I barely break a sweat. Raids are a little different. When bashing a boss I actually don't think I've done a good enough job if I am not almost out of mana by the time the boss is downed. If I had to pick a scenario above though I would go with the first. Yes I can sometime drop Divine Plea and just top off my mana before the next pull ok. But I would rather sit straight down after a pull and drink to get it back if I was very low. Then you don't have any problems of the tank pulling the next lot thinking you were ready. I don't know if other classes have problems keeping their mana bars up (I only heal as a Pally) but I generally find that as long as I am Judging a lot and using the appropriate heals for each situation (so not spamming expensive ones the whole time) then I do just fine.
August 1, 2011 at 1:55 pm
The key to dealing with a hasty tank without running out of mana is to let them die. If I stop to drink, and they pull before I get there, the party will wipe, but I"ll still be out of combat and can either rez them, or at least save the repair bill. If I'm running up and they pull before I can pop the cork on my bottle, well then I"m in combat, and I still don't have any gas in the tank – plus I'm feeling rushed.
Let them die. That's my motto.
August 1, 2011 at 2:16 pm
@adgamorix Completely agree with you. If I'm under 50% mana, I'll sit and drink straight away. If I'm above I'll pop Divine Plea and run along with the group.
If the tank isn't paying attention to your mana, that's their fault not yours. You can always help inform them with a quick "MB" in party chat.
As a secondary point, if you're massively out of mana after each pull, something else is going wrong. Could be dps aren't getting out of the fire quick enough or CC isn't being used properly/enough.
August 1, 2011 at 2:58 pm
You forgot senario 3:
Mob pack dies
(try to) Sit down to drink
Tank pulls
Race to catch up
Feel free to switch steps 2 and 4 till desire senario is reached.
I know we hate it when it happens, but it does indeed happen. Espcially after the bear boss in ZA when the timer is ticking down and we JUST HAVE TO GET THAT BEAR MOUNT!!!!! I'm not bitter or anything.
August 1, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Death to them hasty tanks 🙂
August 1, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Interesting subject, but I don't think it's as clear-cut as you make it out to be. As Adgamorix said above, running up to the next pull right away increases your risk of getting put into combat simply through proximity, without getting a chance to drink at all. Also, the healer jogging after the tank immediately can be misread as "I don't need to drink, go ahead".
August 1, 2011 at 9:26 pm
A tank that might notice his healer is out of range ie scenario 1 and not pull, will pull in scenario 2.
Being behind in heals means your using less efficient heals which negates the drinking.
Tbh the most irritating thing is healing, Siting to drink and then getting a proc from the heal which cancels the drinking. Why am I standing around with 50% mana with one water missing….

I usually try to get about two steps in front of the tank and then sit down directly on his feet to drink. Believe it or not, some tanks don't even notice THAT. I don't have enough fingers or enough time to run, drink, and type "oom" before the tank has pulled the next group, so I have generally tried to let my actions speak louder than my words!
Funny post, Ophelie! *applaud*
August 2, 2011 at 11:28 am
With GREAT trepidation, I've started doing random regular heroics (Zuls can suck it – I run those only with people I know.) with my paladin. I try to only drink before bosses, and I have a macro I hit on the way to the boss that tells the party I'm going to drink before the boss fight "just to top off."
In betweentime, I'm a Divine Plea and mana potion nut, using one when the other is on cooldown just to keep my mana tank over half. Hey, I have to spend that daily gold on something, right? May as well buy mana potions. A mana pot is liquified peace of mind.
And I also start bashing on mobs when they're 75% down to regain mana for the next pull.
And I cast Hand of Salvation on naughty aggro-pulling DPS.
August 2, 2011 at 2:32 pm
If my mana was empty, and I had to drink, I would always go with scenario 1.
This shows the tank that (a) you are not ready (b) you are in command of your mana bar not them (c) if the tank pulls and wipes, it's their fault for entering combat without a healer. I have no regrets about saying after a wipe 'don't pull if I'm not here, or I can't heal'. Of course, it is good to let people know you are empty – simply saying 'mana break' will help.
@Kimberly – I would never use potions. If you really need mana, sit and drink, seriously!
August 3, 2011 at 3:52 am
You left out the mysterious step five… Loot issues anyone? As for mana I use a macro /oom /use whatever your drink of choice is.
August 12, 2011 at 10:38 am
I ll happily follow a tank at his pace as long as i have sufficient mana for the next pull. If my manabar gets to the point where i know i cant get the group through the next pull i ll sit down and drink…he ll evntually learn to watch more then his vengeance tack after he died a couple of times.
On bad days i might even let a tank die because he pulled while i was back at the last group looting (my Priest is taylor so i got a lot to loot sometimes).
DPS and even tanks that are not able to eat while i drink to bring my mana and health up after a nasty pull are not guaranteed to get heals, especially when there was a mage table at the beginning.
speedruns where i challenge myself to use every trick in the book are something i enjoy with at least a tank i know, with pug tanks i like to play it on the save side mana-wise. If they dont adapt its their repair-bill not mine

Wilhelm Automotive, a Valley family-owned and operated automotive repair shop, hosted it 18th annual holiday food drive this past November. This year Wilhelm combined its efforts to support not only people, but pets too. Patrons generously donated food at Wilhelm locations to benefit the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center and Valley View Community Food Bank as well as Chuck Waggin' Pet Food Pantry. More than 300 pounds of human food and about 75 pounds of pet food were donated by Wilhelm customers this year.
The Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center provides emergency food, financial assistance and other life necessities and resources to individuals and families in the northern desert foothills communities. The mission of the Valley View Community Food Bank is to serve the Northwest Valley communities with love and respect for those who are in need of a good and wholesome nutritious food box.
The main purpose of the Chuck Waggin' pet food pantry is to provide pet and pet service referrals to keep pets and the families who love them together.
Those who donated were rewarded with a discount coupon for a future auto repair visit at Wilhelm.
"We're so grateful to our wonderful customers and community for their continued support of our efforts to reach out to those in need during the holiday season. Their kindness is a reflection of the kind of company values Wilhelm has always represented," said Wilhelm President Chris Garman.
Wilhelm Automotive, a Valley family-owned and operated automotive repair shop, has kicked off its 18th annual holiday food drive. This year it will combine its efforts to support not only people, but pets too. Patrons can drop off canned or non perishable food at any of Wilhelm's seven Valley locations. Donations will benefit the Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center and Valley View Community Food Bank as well as Chuck Waggin' Pet Food Pantry.
In appreciation of donations, Wilhelm customers who bring in at least two cans of food or non perishable food items or two new pet food items will receive $15 off any auto repair service (not valid for tire or battery purchases).
Last year, Wilhelm Automotive collected more than 300 pounds of food for both people and pets.
"We are so appreciative customers continually support our community service events throughout the year, and our holiday food drive is a tradition of reaching out we're proud to host. It's our way of giving back to the people in the areas we live, work and play," said Wilhelm President Chris Garman.
For more details on any of the three foundations we are supporting, please feel free to visit their websites;
We are so proud to look back to the weekend of October 3rd and 4th at Goodyear Ball Park. Helping out great non-profit organizations such as relay for life are what its all about. Giving back to our communities and such organizations are some ways we show how Wilhelm cares.
Overall over $50,000 was raised at the Goodyear relay for life event and we are pleased to have played just a small part in it. Thanks for everyone involved in a very successful charity event and fundraiser.
it has always been fundamental for our company to help out within local communties. Our two shops in Litchfield and Goodyear have been involved with this great organization for a number of years now and the events are always great. We already look forward to next years event.
Since 1979, the company has expanded to include locations in Litchfield Park, Cave Creek, Surprise and Goodyear. Community service comes naturally to all Wilhelm employees no matter which location is involved.
Community involvement has always been a part of the Wilhelm tradition. To date, we are involved in our local neighborhoods supporting groups such as Westside Food Bank, Cave Creek Museum, International Rotary, Luke Air Force Base, American Cancer Society and local schools. Charley and Thomas Gyder have been very active in the revitalization of the downtown area of Peoria. The presence of the new arts center, a first rate performance venue that they were instrumental in making a reality, is testimony to their dedication to the community.
"When you integrate your family into the community, it all fits, it all flows," Thom Gyder said, "It's not something we do as an obligation, it's something we love to do".
Each of Wilhelm Auto's five service centers submits an annual "community service report card" to ensure that the company maintains its position of philanthropic leadership in the automotive service industry in Arizona.
If you are interested in supporting local non-profit organizations, may we suggest you visit the following sites of organizations we actively support:

5. 24: Macroevolution
- Page ID
- 6551
Fast or slow?
Which is better, the direct route or the scenic route? Each has its advantages, depending on the situation. And that describes evolution. It can be fast or slow, depending on the situation.
Timing of Macroevolution
Is evolution slow and steady? Or does it occur in fits and starts? It may depend on what else is going on, such as changes in climate and geologic conditions.
- When geologic and climatic conditions are stable, evolution may occur gradually. This is how Darwin thought evolution occurred. This model of the timing of evolution is called gradualism.
- When geologic and climatic conditions are changing, evolution may occur more quickly. Thus, long periods of little change may be interrupted by bursts of rapid change. This model of the timing of evolution is called punctuated equilibrium. It is better supported by the fossil record than is gradualism. This model suggests that niches left open by sudden geologic and climatic changes may be rapidly filled by bursts of evolution.
Two theories of evolutionary change - gradualism vs. punctuated equilibrium - are still debated. The former proposes continuous change, while the latter suggests that species remain constant for long periods of time and that change, when it occurs, is rapid.
- Darwin thought that evolution occurs gradually. This model of evolution is called gradualism.
- The fossil record better supports the model of punctuated equilibrium. In this model, long periods of little change are interrupted by bursts of rapid change.
- What is gradualism? When is it most likely to apply?
- Describe the timing of evolutionary change according to the punctuated equilibrium model.
- Which model of evolution would be predicted to follow the extinction of the dinosaurs? Why?

Provisioning an EC2 Instance
EC2 images are bare bones propositions, so you have to provision them that is, install whatever software you want running on them. Thus, you'll need to log into the EC2 images via SSH. And to do so, you'll need an EC2 private key pair created before you fire up an image. The easiest way to get the keys is to create them via the AWS management console.
For example, once you've signed into the AWS Management console, select the EC2 tab. From there, you should see a Key Pairs link in the left-hand navigation bar, as shown in Figure 1.
If you click the Key Pairs link, you will be presented with a view containing a button labeled Create Key Pair, which if you click, will allow you to name a key pair and consequently download it. Alternatively, you can also create a key pair using AWS's command-line tools. Configuring these tools is fairly simple, provided you're comfortable with the command line and altering your path. Once you've installed these tools, you can create a key pair effortlessly; like so:
$>ec2-create-keypair my_new_keypair
This script will output an RSA private key, which you'll need to copy and paste into a file in this case, I'd call the file "my_new_keypair.pem"; don't forget to run chmod 600 on the file, so that it is indeed kept private.
Next, you'll need to create a security policy for your running image. In EC2 terms, this means specifying what ports are open to traffic. For the purposes of this article, I'll be enabling SSH and HTTP/HTTPS. If you need other services, like FTP or non-standard ports for HTTP (like 8080) open to the outside world, you'll need to explicitly enable those ports.
To define a security group, click the Security Groups link in the left-hand navigation bar of the EC2 tab. As with key pairs, there will be a button labeled Create Security Group, as in Figure 2.
Click it and you'll be asked to name your security group; what's more, you can then create rules for inbound traffic.
Security group rules are a bit confusing at first, but they are simple to define. For instance, a source of 0.0.0.0/0 means from any outside request, which is probably what you want for now. You can see though that you can fine tune your security policies using this scheme (Figure 3).
Once you've defined a security policy and created a private key pair, you are ready to fire up an EC2 AMI in one of two ways. You can programmatically fire one up or you can start an EC2 AMI via the AWS management console.
As I mentioned earlier, there are several languages to choose from when it comes to programmatically interacting with AWS and you are free to use AWS provided SDKs or open-source independent implementations.
Using the AWS Java SDK, for instance, is fairly easy to start an AMI all you need to do is tell AWS which AMI you'd like to start, what type of instance you'd like to provision, what security policy to apply, and finally what private key pair (Figure 4) to use:
AmazonEC2 ec2 = new AmazonEC2Client(new BasicAWSCredentials("....", "...")); RunInstancesRequest runInstancesRequest = new RunInstancesRequest() .withInstanceType("t1.micro") .withImageId("ami-46f4092f") .withMinCount(1) .withMaxCount(1) .withSecurityGroupIds("AMI-Def") .withKeyName("my_key"); RunInstancesResult runInstances = ec2.runInstances(runInstancesRequest);
Alternatively, you can sign into the AWS management console, and within a few clicks, launch an AMI. The provided wizard makes it very simple to select an AMI, an instance type, and you're free to select existing key pairs or even create them then and there.
For instance, from the Instances link on the left navigation bar, you can click the Launch Instance button, which starts a handy wizard (Figure 5).
Finally, you can also provision an instance via the command line using the
ec2-run-instances command, you can specify an AMI, key pair via the
-k flag, and security group via the
-g flag, to name a few of the available options.
ec2-run-instances ami-46f4092f -k dr_dbs_pair2 -g AMI-Def
It should be noted that with the command line, you can start an EC2 instance without any security group (in which case the default group will be added, which is to say no port is open!). You later add authorized ports via the
ec2-authorize command.
The EC2 AMI that I tend to favor these days is ami-46f4092f, which is an Ubuntu image provided by the Ubuntu team. Ubuntu has quite a few official AMIs to choose from running various versions of Ubuntu as well as AMIs for i386 or AMD64 architectures.
Of course, firing up an AMI on EC2 is the easy part making use of it is another story. When you provision a Linux AMI with EC2, like ami-46f4092f, you can SSH to it using the key pair you assigned to that instance. To do so, you tell SSH which key to use:
ssh -i .ec2/dr_dobbs.pem [email protected]
Most AMIs provide instructions on whom to SSH as, for instance, Ubuntu images use the ubuntu user, who has sudo privileges. Of course, once you're on your EC2 instance, you need to do something with it. In this case, I'm going to install a few packages namely, Java 1.6, Git, and a few system utilities.
Installing core libraries and platforms, such as Java or Ruby on an Ubuntu image can be somewhat of a pain; consequently, I ended up creating a series of scripts that make this process pretty simple. The project containing the scripts is hosted on Github and is dubbed ubuntu-equip. To install Java, for example, once you are on your desired EC2 instance via SSH, type
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/aglover/ubuntu-equip/raw/master/equip_java.sh && bash equip_java.sh
This script will install a few core libraries along with the official Sun (now Oracle) Java 1.6 JDK; what's more, this script also installs Git. At this point, you've got an EC2 instance running in the cloud ready for deployment of a Java application!
EC2, like the rest of AWS, is a game changer. The ability to rapidly provision a wide range of computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis has ushered in a new era of innovation. Whether you're tinkering in a garage or working for a large company, you have a low-cost option to put working software into production. And should that application become the next Twitter or Facebook, it can quickly scale it to meet user needs.
In a future article, I'll get into the topic of running your own apps on the AWS instances.

Jordan Richardson (front) notched her first career goal on Sunday at La Salle.
The Liberty Lady Flames field hockey squad saw its two-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday afternoon, falling to the host La Salle Explorers, 2-1, at DeVincent Field. The loss drops the Lady Flames to 4-3 on the season. The victory improves La Salle's season mark to 2-6 overall.
The Explorers tallied the first three shots of the contest, but a pair of saves by Liberty goalkeeper Ann Jefferis kept the home team off of the scoreboard.
The Lady Flames answered with a string of four consecutive shots, two of which came from junior Helen Doolittle. La Salle finished the first half with 10 shots to Liberty's six. Jefferis turned away eight shots in the contest's opening 35 minutes.
The Lady Flames notched the game's first tally with just over two minutes remaining in the first half. Bethany Barr split the Explorers' defense with a run down the middle of the field toward the top of the circle. The freshman dished the ball to the left side to a sprinting Jordan Richardson. The senior received the pass and rocketed a shot toward the cage, which deflected off of La Salle goalkeeper Lisa Shaffer and into the goal. Richardson's first career marker put Liberty on top, 1-0.
La Salle knotted the contest at one with just over 22 minutes remaining in regulation. Judith Sweere collected a loose ball in front of the cage and managed to sneak it past Jefferis into the goal for the equalizer.
Liberty nearly took the lead back in the 52nd minute. Ashlee Krulock raced up the right side and into the Explorers' circle. The sophomore controlled the ball, spun left and sent a reverse shot toward the cage. The ball sailed over the head of Shaffer, but bounced off the crossbar and bounded harmlessly away.
The Explorers collected the go-ahead score with 16:46 left in the match. Olivia Shoemaker corralled the rebound off of a Gina Smith shot. Shoemaker passed the ball to Maddy Tettelbach and the junior knocked it into the cage to put La Salle in front for good, 2-1.
Liberty had several more scoring opportunities in the waning minutes of the game, recording six late shots. However, the Explorers' defense kept the ball out of the cage, securing the 2-1 victory.
The Lady Flames finished the contest with 16 shots and five penalty corners. The Explorers tallied 14 shots and five penalty corners in the win.
Jefferis finished the match with a season-high eight saves for Liberty. Shaffer recorded four stops for La Salle en route to the victory.
The Lady Flames return home next weekend for their first game at Liberty Field Hockey Field since the season opener against Saint Joseph's on Aug. 30. Liberty will face Saint Louis on Friday at 3:30 p.m., before welcoming No. 4 Virginia to the Hill City on Sunday at 2 p.m. For a more in-depth look at the Lady Flames' field hockey program, including postgame interviews and video packages, follow the team on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Last year, Microsoft debuted #DroidRage, where people would tweet their Android malware stories for a chance at getting a free Windows phone. Now Microsoft is resurrecting that campaign, according to a recent post.
On Tuesday, Windows Phone wrote, "Do you have an Android malware horror story? Reply with #DroidRage with your best/worst story and we may have a get-well present for you."
The #DroidRage campaign is supposed to highlight Android's malware and essentially promote the Windows Phone as a safer bet, according to The Next Web. Last year, there were thousands of responses, but Microsoft wants tens of thousands this year before awarding a few Windows Phone handsets.
U.S. & World
The campaign will likely get Microsoft some publicity and trash Android's reputation at the same time. It's a win-win for the Windows Phone.

Not sure if you've heard of this guy. I've written about his tool, err...I mean his former tool...gah, I mean his former IDE before.
Jeff Smith left the dark side to join the mothership, Oracle, late last year. Last night, he visited us down here in Tampa.
He was here once before, when he worked from that other company. You can read about that visit here.
For those who have come to our user group, it's heavy on the DBA side. Not may developers. Not sure what that really has to do with anything, just thought I'd mention it.
You can find him on Twitter and his blog. If you don't know who he is, then you've probably never 1, used Toad, 2, used SQL Developer or SQL Developer Data Modeler C, you don't drink beer and F, you're not from West Virginia. You might count yourself lucky on that last point.
In a surprise twist, for me anyway, I'm not the first to write about Jeff's visit to Tampa. Jon Bloom from Bloom Consulting BI beat me to the punch. I concur with everything that Jon says.
Jeff was his usual self, maybe a Stephen Wright of Presenting. Dry and always funny with great audience interaction. I'm hoping my presence helped as he picked on me quite a bit, but I'm sure he'd have found someone if I wasn't there. I picked up a few cool new tricks. We talked about Twitter (naturally), had debates about the cloud (seriously derailed there) and whether or not you should write code (procedures, functions, packages) directly in the database. Good times.
Jeff is a must see.
Of course there was an after party. I had planned on spending some more time with Jeff than I did, but I had production issues to take care of. Besides, I think he was busy napping. Anyway, Troy (SOUG President), the aforementioned Dan McGhan, Michael (I'm not allowed to print his real name, this is a family blog), myself and Jeff headed over to Ybor city. Jeff wanted a cigar and while in Rome...We sat outside of King Corona for an hour or two and chatted about lots of things. Jeff told us all the cool new features coming out in 12c (OK, I lied...we tried to ply him with beer but he wouldn't divulge any secrets).
No pictures for you today. I wasn't in a picture taking mode. I did try to take a panoramic of the presentation, but my phone/camera borked.
Oh yeah, Jeff yelled at me for replacing his kid's picture...so I put it back up (for at least a day).

Insight Freight is a full service freight forwarder; offering shipment management services for freight destined down the street or across the world. We're initiating a revolutionary website that will allow our clients to compare rates and manage shipments from all of our service providers. With the move to a web based service... we need a new Web 2.0 friendly logo that re-defines our corporate image. We do what we do... to help people feel more at ease with shipping products. Our website is made to provide a user friendly space to plan, execute and manage shipments with ease.
Our primary target audience are businesses that ship commercial goods. More specifically... the individuals that make the decisions on which service company to use. These individuals are primarily male (however more and more females are entering the field), aged 25-50. These individual are born planners, very organized... almost to an extreme sense. They are skid-dish in nature... so it's important to have a calm logo that inspires trust. The secondary target audience are the carrier companies... they are primarily male dominant (truck drivers, dispatchers forwarders etc...). Also planners by nature... however this breed is much more aggressive and much less skid-dish. These guys will break their backs for a dollar and to keep a good reputation.
Please do:
- Logo Icon with Typeface.
- Logo Icon must look good independently from the typeface
-Colors: Neutral colors, earthy colors, calm, trusting hues, browns, blues, oranges, greens, grays are all okay. If it's calm; you have carte blanche :)
- Must convey the nature of the business.
- Must be simple
- Must be Web 2.0 centric
Please do not:
- Have extremely bright colors
- Have too many shadows
- Have flip letters
- Have more than four colors
Attached is our current logo... good example of what we don't want.
Something simple... but effective is what we really need.
