Considering I haven't procced on elixirs in MONTHS, that sounds appealing. How much does it cost to change specializations?

But four free bars at the current rate on my server is basically 3000G for free. The server resets at 11pm over here, so my recent transmute granted me a single bar. Oh no. Still, only five bars until I have enough Truegold to make my Vial of the Sands.
But with the huge amount of "free" Volatiles and Truegold you can potentially get, Master of Transmutation is where it's at.

This does not, bizzarly, seem to be the case, as the acheivement appears to need one single person in the guild to have 55 unique Exhalted reputations, not 55 unique exhalted reputations across the guild as a group. As in the case of my guild, I had 39 Exhalted Reputations, a fellow guild member had 39 as well, but a few differed. I got to Revered first, the Achievement shot up to 39. Fellow guildy got to Revered, meter didn't move. What the hooha?
I can't possibly fathom the reasoning behind this, especially since the achievement already requires you to get to Revered with your guild. Well, unless you count the cynical grind trap reasoning, but I would have thought Blizz would have been less jerkish than this.

Hmm, this worries me, because as it is now, we are at 50 and was hoping the next 5 exhalteds would get us there, but now that I know my fear for this achievement is realized, I don't know how we will get it.

On the Truegold thing I'd been doing the life -> air instead because Truegold bars were basically selling for mats cost on my server, and that way I was guaranteed some gold if it didn't proc. With the patch increasing air droprate though, I might have to look into Truegold again.
The changes to feral PvP hopefully won't be as painful as they look to be... most of them I can deal with, but the powershifting one makes me a sad kitty. Especially since it's ONLY feral that has to deal with it.
Also it's a pain finding competent people that aren't already guilded and/or happy with where they are. Last week we tried pugging to find people for a second raid group, and only got one person out of that horrible mess(before it degraded into a BoT trash farm) that was worthwhile.

Good news is is the trick worked... bad news is it bugged my character for a little bit. After doing the trick I was apparently still in the same terrain phase, but in the proper NPC phase to do the questline. I was able to do it all the way up to where you get freed from the stocks. (And as a side note you can't fly in the starter phase.) After the cinematic I was standing on a box floating in water in nonexistant stockades while the NPCs swam to me to do the little scene. After I was "freed" I took a step off the box, and promptly DCed from server... and kept DCing when I tried to log in. A quick GM ticket later though and I was sitting outside Stormwind. On the plus side it doesn't seem like it bugged anything(except I don't know what'll happen if I try flying into Gilneas again). On the minus side, I still don't get a top hat.

For a guild roster of almost 900, only three of us were brave enough to attempt it, all the rest were PUGs brought in from the outside. Now I understand that's the nature of Casual Guilds, but this is getting rather silly. We keep getting more and more Level 85s, but the Guild as a whole seems less and less inclined to run together for damn near anything. Most of the folks that run together are friends/family and once they have a set group, they're disinclined to bring anyone in from the outside.
Combine that with a Guild Leader who is a nice guy, but has some delusions about the Guild (He does Hour Long Podcasts for the Guild and wants to be the first guild at both Guild Level 25 and Maxed Membership at 1000) and I'm beginning to wonder if the guild has any sort of staying power. Especially when one of our PUG BH Members had a guild at equal level with us - Level 15 - with significantly less members.
I dunno, I guess I'm wondering if we aren't getting a little too big for our britches. We've got a lot of bloat - people will funnel five to six alts into the guild at a time. We're an Altaholics Paradise - and the recruitment drives are Shotgun pattern, so we pick up drifters of all level ranges that are very active players, but can't participate in the Guild's Max Level shenanigans.
At this point, simply inertia will keep the guild active for a long time to come, but I do have to wonder where the guild's going to be in six months. This whole "Serious Casual" label the GL has sounds good in Guild Recruitment, but what it ends up being is getting a lot of players who don't really want to commit to anything. We've got a Tank that's more interested in soloing all the old content dungeons he can rather then tank for Guild Heroics/Regulars.
But, now that I've thoroughly derailed my train of thought...all in all, the first boss of Baradin Hold isn't that bad. I daresay he has easier mechanics then his VoA counterparts. We couldn't get him down below 300k health, mainly because the PUG was having serious connectivity issues. People were DCing left and right. We would have had him multiple times if not for that fact (As an aside: No one in my guild were among those that DCed).
But the main reason I wanted to share this story is probably the most hilarious Rage Quit in WoW History. Bring in a Druid Healer after one of our initial healers DCed mid-fight (And we *STILL* got him down to 300k! The DPS was there!). We make an attempt, Druid Healer keels over right away. We wonder why, turns out she's not specced into getting a Dispel.
One of my Guildies is an Enhancement/Resto Shaman, and he offers to Heal/Dispell. We ask the Druid if she'd like to go Kitty. Druid suddenly goes on a rage:
<Druid> "I've done this multiple times with a Priest and Me 2 Healing!"
<Raid Member> "...We don't have a Priest."
<Raid Leader> "Would you like to DPS?"
<Druid> "Screw this! I'll do it with my regular group with a Priest to Dispel!"
*Druid Drops Raid*
<Raid Leader> Really? Since when does "Do you think you could DPS?" turn into "RAAAAAAAGEQUIIIIIIT"?
I want to just stress: Nobody was giving her a hard time about her spec/her healing. We literally just asked her if she'd mind DPSing and she dropped.

Lacson tells Army chief Gapay to 'temper emotions' over slay of 4 soldiers
MANILA, Philippines – Senator Panfilo Lacson has urged Philippine Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Gilbert Gapay to temper his emotions over the killing of four soldiers by police officers in Jolo, Sulu.
"While I can easily relate to Philippine Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Gilbert Gapay and understand how he feels about the Army officers slain in Sulu, emotions running high at this point is the last thing they need," Lacson said in a statement on Wednesday.
Gapay earlier denounced the slay of his men, describing the incident as "rubout" and "murder." He also called for the sacking of Sulu's police chief following the incident.
Lacson, a former chief of Philippine National Police (PNP), said that "decisiveness, not divisiveness" is needed as he warned that terrorists and armed insurgents may "exploit" the situation.
"For all they know, their common enemies such as the terrorists and armed insurgents are already celebrating the Sulu incident — and even making plans to exploit it," he said.
The senator said the "enemies of the state" are "very capable of fanning the flames of animosity" between the police and military by "creating intrigues to further divide the country's two major security forces."
Lacson also said that enemies of the State, through their legal fronts, have been "sowing disinformation" about the proposed Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 and the National ID System.
"Ultimately, decisiveness, not divisiveness, is needed in dealing with the enemies of the State and the Filipino people," he said.
On June 29, four soldiers were fatally shot by police officers some meters away from the Jolo police station.
Police said the military officers attempted to escape and opened fire at them while on their way to a nearby police station for identity verification. However, the Philippine Army disputed this claim, saying the soldiers did not try to flee and never fired a single shot towards police officers.
The nine police officers involved in the incident, as well as the chief of Jolo police station have been relieved from their posts.
The National Bureau of Investigation is already conducting a probe into the incident.

Two suspects – a man and a woman – have been arrested on suspicion of stealing valuables from Reginald Mengi's home.
Among the items stolen include: gold jewellery, laptops and money whose amount is yet to be revealed.
The family spokesperson Benson Mengi, who is a nephew of the deceased, confirmed that the said-items were stolen at the house belonging to the late Reginald Mengi and his wife, Jacqueline Ntuyabaliwe-Mengi.
It is believed some of the money and jewellery belonged to mourners who were still condoling with the billionaire's family last weekend.
Kilimanjaro police boss, Hamis Issah, said at least two suspects have been arrested in connection with the theft.
Mr Issah says authorities suspect the theft was orchestrated by persons close to the Mengi family.
"We suspect the theft was an inside job. I believe our investigations will lead us to arresting some family members. It is unfortunate that we are still mourning the late Mengi yet we are forced to make arrests. The theft happened after several mourners claimed that they were family members, and therefore, were allowed entry into rooms they shouldn't have ordinarily accessed," Mr Issah told Tanzania's Global Publishers.
Reginald Mengi, whose net worth was estimated at Ksh56 billion by Forbes in 2014, died on April 30.
Mr Mengi, who died aged 75, was buried at his Kilimanjaro home on May 9.
He is survived by a wife, Jacqueline Ntuyabaliwe, formerly known in the music circles as K-Lynn.
Mengi and Ntuyabaliwe share two children together.

The results of Karnataka Assembly election are a "big setback" to Rahul Gandhi as the face of Congress and the opposition, Lok Janshakti Party president and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan said today.
"What could be the future of a person if he has no present. Unless the opposition or its alliance partners accept him (Gandhi), there is no future (for him) and now everyone is holding him responsible for the defeat in Karnataka and accusing him of not taking them onboard," Paswan told reporters.
Asserting that the mandate is in favour of the BJP in Karnataka, he expressed confidence that it will form a government in the state.
"I have full faith that the BJP will form the new government in Karnataka as it has a mandate in the state," he said.
BJP's victory in Karnataka will prove true its president Amit Shah's slogan of "Congress-mukt Bharat" as the party will be restricted to Punjab, Puducherry and Mizoram only, he said.
"The biggest setback is for Rahul as the face of Congress. He was projecting himself as the prime ministerial candidate in 2019 and claiming a victory of his party. This all has now ended.
"The Congress had a majority government in Karnataka but now they are talking about an alliance with JD(S). It's their defeat."
All opposition parties rallying behind Rahul Gandhi is no longer a possibility in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Paswan said.
He also slammed the opposition parties for adopting "double standard" on EVM issue and holding it responsible for their defeat.

The question is how to get skinny arms fast? We will tell you the most common reasons that most skinny people struggle to get skinny arms fast. I struggled to make proceeds until I learned the proper way to train.
The arm has three major muscle groups which all need attention. When most people start out trying to get skinny arms fast they only focus on the biceps and triceps pretty much. If you want to know more about how to get skinny arms quick then you can explore https://www.waytoskinny.com/how-to-get-skinny-arms/.
Image Source-Google
If you see a fitness professional or bodybuilders you will see that the triceps are what highlight their arms and make them look great. Also, triceps are naturally stronger and bigger muscles then the bicep. If you over-train your biceps, you will not have a balanced arm that can affect your performance and can look disproportionate.
It is a good idea when you first start training to avoid isolation exercises. Your body is not trained yet and with just doing isolation exercises you will only fatigue the muscles more quickly and it can hurt your job overall. For example, start practicing your biceps with all that you've got to be gassed and cannot work the shoulders and back very effectively.

Habitual pleasures
HUMMING IN MY UNIVERSE – Jim Paredes (The Philippine Star) – August 26, 2018 – 12:00am
When people live past 60 years old, they think that life is pretty much a settled thing. Most of their dreams have been achieved. Milestones have been crossed. They like to reward themselves with simple pleasures. It keeps life going.
Many are already set in their ways and are comfortable with old habits they have acquired through the years. Some of these habits have become part of daily life. It gives them comfort and indulging in them gives them a sense of ritual and structure.
I have friends who can talk about how they like their coffee in great detail. They have cultivated the habit of coffee drinking through decades. They talk about the origins, flavors and how imbibing coffee makes them feel good. They meet together just to drink and enjoy coffee.
Some classmates have formed a group that meets occasionally to enjoy the pleasures of whisky and scotch. No, they don't go on a drinking binge. They just enjoy their malt.
Some people consume wine with regularity and relish. My wife and her friends just love wine. Wine can be a whole universe in itself to explore and enjoy. There are so many types to choose from. There's Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Bordeaux, Chiraz, Merlot, etc. Then there are the countries and regions where they come from, and the year when they were put in bottles. For many of my friends and members of my immediate family, drinking wine has become a habit when we get together. Unfortunately, I can only take an occasional half glass and that's about it. Beyond that, I turn red and experience palpitations.
Some people talk about their spiritual and religious practices. Going to Mass, praying to God and the saints regularly, praying the rosary have become part of their daily habit for years and years. They get a sense of purpose and meaning doing this.
The habits I talk about here are routines of behavior. There are habits you do unconsciously. I am talking about habits that are consciously indulged in which bring pleasure and joy in life. They are meant to be enjoyed and savored. These habits can also become passions.
I have engaged in many habits and hobbies and passions throughout my life. There is music primarily. Playing the guitar and piano, listening to music for hours and hours are things I still love to do. I even sing in my mind sometimes.
In my 40s, I got into scuba diving. It lasted quite a long time. I used to go diving every weekend. When I would not dive for three weeks, I would miss it terribly. I only stopped when one of my dive buddies, Redford White, died of cancer. I can still get into diving but at a slower pace now. Maybe I will continue.
When I turned 60, I took up coffee. Yes, you read that right: I drank my first full cup of coffee when I became a senior citizen. Prior to that, I don't remember drinking coffee except to taste it. My mom, who was a coffee drinker, told me when I was a child not to drink coffee because, during those days, many believed coffee stunted growth. So I had an aversion to coffee for most of my life. At 60, I figured I was probably beyond any physical phase where I would still grow taller. And I'd always wanted to understand why my wife loves her coffee so much.
About once a week, I drink a cup or two. I take brewed coffee. That's about as adventurous I am with coffee right now. I still haven't taken to it enough to say that I have developed the habit.
One habit I have fully embraced in my 60s is eating chocolates. Almost every night now I take a square or two from a Lindt bar and savor them with great relish. I especially like dark chocolate. My refrigerator is full of different kinds and brands. Aside from Lindt, there are Frey, See's, Royce, Godiva, Toblerone, Cote D'or, Tim Tams, among many others. I hardly take milk chocolate; the milk bothers my stomach. On occasion, I take white chocolates but those can taste too sweet. I like the smoothness and the sweetness of all kinds of chocolate but prefer dark overall. I particularly enjoy chocolate with 85 percent cocoa. Every time I travel, I always buy some to make sure I have chocolates wherever I find myself.
Another thing I have started taking interest in is plants. I have a modestly sized garden with lots of varieties of plants, shrubs, creepers, a few trees and herbs that Lydia is cultivating. We even have a few fruit trees like mango, avocado, mulberry, lanka, papaya and guava. Every morning, I walk around the garden to look at flowers, or notice new buds that have sprung overnight. I love the idea of cultivating and caring for living things and watch them grow and flourish.
Then there is my devotion to exercise. I go to the gym three to four times a week and do one hour or so of stretches, sit-ups, pushups, planks, pull-ups and a few machines. I can say that it has become a habit, because I actually miss doing it when I am unable to exercise. I miss the pain and the sweat, and the endorphins that come with exercise. There is that great feeling of personal achievement, and general well-being after.
Habits like taking coffee, alcohol, smoking cigars are okay in moderation. I like to think a little poison occasionally may be good for you. Some habits are still safe in large doses. But the general rule is do not have too much of anything.
Anything in excess is most likely not good.
It has been said that saints are the hardest people to live with. Even too much religiosity may not be desirable. Too much heaven may not be good for mortals!
In matters that give pleasure, the way to enjoy them is to indulge just enough so that it keeps on giving and giving every time.

The stage was set for an exciting encounter between two live electronic musicians of international standing at Sound of Mu on Tuesday January 25.
Diemo Schwarz from IRCAM held a workshop in advanced synthesis and signal processing at NOTAM in the end of January.
Diemo Schwarz is one of the leading figures within the live electronics field, and he has developed a number of signal processing tools, including Max/MSP patches such as FTM and CataRT. It was a pleasure for me to be able to play a concert with him again.
The concert was organized by me in collaboration with NOTAM, and Cato Langnes was the sound engineer. In addition to improvisations by Diemo and me we
both played a solo piece each. I played Thomas Dahl's piece No Reason Aftermath. It was a great atmosphere at the venue.
Diemo is using the iPad as a control function for CataRT, as well as a pressure-sensitive MIDI-controller which controls the dynamics. It works so well with the iPad. He can play it like a separate instrument, away from the computer, using the accelerometer.

Net Neutrality Astroturfing Stirs Up Conflict Between Latino/Minority Groups
from the look-at-that deptWe've written a few times about the highly cynical astroturfing practice in Washington DC, in which certain lobbyist groups basically have "deals" with certain public interest groups. The basic deal is that the lobbyists guarantee big cash donations from their big company clients, and then the lobbyists get to write letters "on behalf of" those organizations for whatever policy they want enacted (or blocked). We quoted a story from Declan McCullagh in 2008 which included this classic line from a lobbyist who worked in one of these shops:
"You go down the Latino people, the deaf people, the farmers, and choose them.... You say, 'I can't use this one--I already used them last time...' We had their letterhead. We'd just write the letter. We'd fax it to them and tell them, 'You're in favor of this.'"That first option, "the Latino people" turned out to be rather prescient. During the last net neutrality fight, in 2009, it was revealed that a bunch of Latino groups magically supported the telco position -- leaving out the bit about how they were funded by the telcos. Here's Matthew Lasar, back in 2009, revealing some details:
And then, jump forward to 2011, when AT&T was trying to buy T-Mobile. The merger received some unexpected support:
Take the go-slow on net neutrality commentary filed in late September by the Hispanic Technology and Telecommunications Partnership (HTTP) and 19 other civil rights groups. Their statement warns that net neutrality policies could inhibit investment and "leave disenfranchised communities further behind." The coalition describes themselves as having a common purpose, serving communities "that are among the most severely impacted by a lack of access to technology." And indeed the list includes signers from venerable organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).
But the groups signing the letter have something else in common: financial support from AT&T (and sometimes Verizon and Comcast). These advocates don't hide this. For example, the website of one of the signers, the Japanese American Citizens League, says "Website made possible by the generous sponsorship of AT&T." 100 Black Men lists AT&T as a "partner" and "sponsor" of the group. AT&T Foundation's 2007 tax returns show that 100 Black Men received $100,000 that year and $75,000 in 2006.
Similarly, the NAACP, which also signed the statement, lists AT&T and Verizon on its Centennial Event sponsors page. LULAC's website indicates that it received a $1.5 million Technology Access Grant from AT&T. Comcast Foundation's records indicate that it gave the LULAC Institute $60,000 in 2007. And in 2006 the AT&T Foundation gave LULAC numerous grants to support computer education centers across the United States.
And some of these groups have even more direct ties to the telcos. The Asian American Justice Center's Advisory Council includes Anne H. Chow, listed as "AT&T Chair" on the group's website. In 2006, AT&T identified her as a senior vice president for the company. Her AAJC bio says that Chow "played a key role in the AT&T/SBC merger with overall responsibility for the Sales and Marketing integration planning effort."
The Hispanic Institute and the Latino Coaltion have decided that supporting the merger of AT&T with T-Mobile is of utmost importance to them.A further report noted:
One DC insider informs us that rumblings on K Street suggest AT&T had called every civil rights group in the United States for support within fifteen minutes of the deal being announced. Fearful of losing AT&T donations -- most of these groups quickly got to parroting prepared AT&T statements, unconcerned about the actual impact of a T-Mobile deal. Getting funding for a new events center apparently dulls any ethical pangs felt using your organization as a hired stage prop.Then, last year, the Center for Public Integrity decided to explore the nature of these various "civil rights groups" and their ties to the big broadband players, and found the situation to be quite suspect, especially with regards to the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC), which helps coordinate many of these filings for the FCC:
From 2009 through 2011 MMTC received at least $725,000 in contributions and sponsorships from network neutrality foes including Verizon, Time Warner, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, according to MMTC tax filings and sponsorship lists.So it should come as little to no surprise that a bunch of these same groups, once again, filed a pro-telco comment with the FCC, arguing that reclassifying broadband under Title II would somehow be harmful to minorities. Note that the filing was coordinated by HTTP and MMTC -- both groups discussed above as taking money from the big broadband guys. The argument they're presenting makes absolutely no sense, but no one cares how sensible the argument is.
MMTC's relationship with Verizon demonstrates the group's various methods of obtaining industry revenue. In 2009, at the height of the net neutrality debate, Verizon made a direct $40,000 contribution to MMTC. From 2010 to 2013, MMTC documents list Verizon as funding at least $160,000 in MMTC conference sponsorships.
Additionally, MMTC worked with Verizon on a $189 million sale of wireless spectrum licenses to minority-owned Grain Management this year — a deal announced in conjunction with a larger $1.9 billion license sale to AT&T. A spokesman for Verizon says money paid to MMTC wasn't intended to influence its policies but to support its mission of promoting inclusion in the industry.
HTTP partnered with the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC) and 35 other national minority organizations to file comments in the FCC's proceeding to protect and promote the open Internet. The group urged the Commission to focus its broadband policies on promoting adoption, engagement, and informed broadband use by minorities, and to exercise its Section 706 authority to protect all consumers' rights to an open Internet. In the filing, the organizations opposed Title II reclassification of the Internet under the 1934 Telecommunications Act, arguing that it would stifle broadband adoption among vulnerable populations, and would limit investment and innovation that have benefitted its constituents. Six HTTP member organizations also joined independently in the filing: Dialogue on Diversity; LISTA; MANA: A National Latina Organization; the National Puerto Rican Coalition; SER Jobs for Progress; and The Latino Coalition.The difference this time, however, is that other groups, representing Latinos, Hispanics and other minority groups who are not funded by the big broadband guys, are now paying attention. And they filed their own FCC comments supporting Title II reclassification:
On Friday, the Voices for Internet Freedom coalition filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on behalf of more than 50 civil rights, human rights, community-based and media organizations in support of strong Net Neutrality rules that protect the digital rights of communities of color.And now the fight seems to be getting personal. Alex Nogales, the head of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, called out the Congressional Hispanic Leadership (which has come out in support of the broadband company's plan to kill net neutrality) by pointing out that they held a briefing that was sponsored by the telcos and totally one-sided. The event was so over-the-top biased that even some in the mainstream media highlighted how ridiculous it was.
In the filing, the groups called on the FCC to treat Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as common carriers, which would allow the Commission to reestablish its legal authority to adopt Net Neutrality rules that prevent telecommunications companies from blocking, discriminating against and interfering with Web traffic. The coalition also called on the agency to ensure Net Neutrality protections are applied equally to both wireline and wireless Internet access.
The group opposes the framework for FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's proposed rules, which would allow ISPs to discriminate by creating fast and slow lanes online....
Voices for Internet Freedom is a coalition of nearly 30 organizations advocating for communities of color in the fight to protect Internet freedom from corporate and government discrimination. The coalition is led by the National Hispanic Media Coalition, the Center for Media Justice, Free Press and ColorOfChange.
Martin Chavez, from the telco-supported Hispanic Technology & Telecommunications Partnership, posted a blog post that purports to be a "can't we all just get along" type post, but which really personally slams Alex Nogales for what Chavez claims was an "angry outburst and lapse of judgment." Nogales isn't taking that sitting down and responded by pointing out that Chavez seems to conveniently leave out who pays his salary:
What is most interesting about Marty's statement is what it doesn't say. Notably, he did not address his employment with Ibarra Strategy Group, a lobbying firm whose clients include Verizon – the main opponent to strong and enforceable Open Internet rules. One would think that a person with such an egregious conflict of interest would, at least, disclose it in his public statements. Marty, unfortunately, does not.It certainly is disappointing to see groups like this fight, but it's worth noting that there certainly does seem to be a clear pattern, as noted years ago, that the groups with funding from the broadband guys magically support the broadband players' position, while the ones who are not funded that way actually seem to recognize the importance of not giving in to the broadband guys' plans to kill net neutrality.
Regrettably, what Marty did say in his statement is just as deceptive as what he conveniently left out. Of the many fabrications, Marty said that 'most Latino organizations' oppose the FCC using the sound legal authority found in Title II of the Communications Act to restrict blocking or discrimination online. This is patently false. A number of highly respected Latino organizations have sided with the community and come out in favor of strong Open Internet rules based on Title II authority, including: the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), LatinoJustice PRLDEF, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP), the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ), the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF), Presente.org, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, the National Institute for Latino Policy, News Taco, Latino Rebels, and more.

CIA Confirmation Hearings – We Can Have a John Brennan But Not a Gina Haspel?By AllardK
Filed Under Latest News on May 11
Gina Haspel's confirmation hearings in the Senate have turned into a sort of show trial on the subject of torture. A very subtle one with less of the histrionics we've become accustomed to. And perhaps an unsuccessful show trial, seeing that it seems she may have possibly locked up her confirmation with a calm and composed performance.
But the issue driving the media coverage and the votes against her is all about torture. Or specifically waterboarding. An issue Trump as candidate was delighted to take head on by announcing how he'd love to bring it back.
Senator McCain has of course come out against her nomination. But the headlines about his very carefully worded and generally positive assessment of Haspel's career are far more dramatic than his principled stance against any CIA Director who will not explicitly and morally condemn torture.
Is McCain right?
That's actually a set of questions:
- Does torture work? Work in what way? To inflict horrifying pain? Yes. To gain vital information when time is an overwhelming concern? Evidence suggests perhaps not. But is that evidence conclusive enough for intelligence agencies to strictly forbid any and all interrogation tactics that may cross the line?
- Is torture morally wrong? There's a piece in American Conservative by John Kiriakou – the former CIA agent who blew the whistle on the agency's waterboarding procedures and gained 30 months in prision as a result – that relies on Christian ethics, if you will. Kiriakou writes:
We know from Matthew 18:21-22 "Then came Peter to him and said, 'Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?' Jesus said unto him, 'I say not unto thee, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.'" That's clear enough for me. But if there's any doubt, it's dispelled in Romans 12:14: "Bless them which persecute you; bless and curse not."
But consider this thought experiment: you are a Christian and are being led to the shores of the Mediterranean – perhaps in Libya perhaps in Syria – by ISIS terrorists who will make you kneel and then will slit your throat and then hold your lifeless head in their hands in a triumphant gesture of evil. But suddenly you have a chance to grab a weapon and fight for your life. If we are to truly take the words of Matthew as literal truth then you would never fight back. You would pray and forgive those terrorists as you kneeled in the sand and submit to them and let them grab your head and slit your throat.
Kirkiakous quotes Dr. Charles Murphy of Liberty University speaking of a theoretical where torturing a terrorist might save an American city from destruction, and how a Christian could never do such a thing because at our judgement before Christ and the Lord we would be found wanting.
I'll leave it to evangelicals far better versed in the Bible than I am to show how fighting back, sometimes violently, against evil is hardly unChristian. But in Murphy's theoretical, would dropping bombs on an enemy target that mistakenly kills innocent civilians, including women and children, be fine at judgment time? Would using an RPG against a sniper's nest located on the roof of a daycare center in Bahgdad be fine at judgement time?
If you take Kirkiakou and Murphy's (supposed) view to its logical conclusion, then how do you do intelligence? How do you gather information on the ground in hostile and treacherous environments?
- Finally, is waterboarding torture? If it is, is sleep deprivation torture? Is shining bright lights in a suspect's eyes torture? Is confining them to a cell in darkness for 24 hours torture? For 12 hours? What is torture? And how do we as a society decide on "what" that torture is to be defined as?
As Senator Rubio insisted on stating for the record at the hearings, if Gina Haspel cannot be confirmed as CIA Director then partisan and politicized chiefs like John Brennan are all we can expect at the agency. No wonder 72 former CIA officials have endorsed Haspel. They, like Senator Rubio, understand what's at stake.

Electron Microscopic Observations of Human Leucocytes: II. Appearance in Naturally Occurring Fevers
Orginal Publication Date
Journal Title
MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly
First Page
Last Page
When human leucocytes are artificially stimulated in vivo or in vitro by a bacterial pyrogen, they release, without destroying themselves, a pyrogenic substance that differs chemically and biologically from the original bacterial pyrogen (Snell et al., 1956; Cranston et al., 1956). Although leucocytic pyrogen has not been seen, or at least recognized, by light or phase microscope, a finely granular extracellular material is consistently visible by electron microscope in artificially stimulated leucocyte preparations that we know to be pyrogenic (Goodale, Fillmore, and Hillman, 1962). We are reasonably certain that the granular material is a genuine cellular product in response to the stimulation and, although definite proof is lacking, that it represents, at least in part, leucocytic pyrogen. If the artificially induced granular material does indeed represent leucocytic pyrogen, and if leucocytic pyrogen is responsible for naturally occurring human fevers, it would follow that the same granular material should also be visible in leucocyte preparations from febrile patients with a variety of diseases. The purpose of this study is to report the findings by electron microscope in preparations of human leucocytes that have been "naturally" stimulated in vivo by pathological processes ranging from infections to terminal carcinomas.

Teaching Video NeuroImages: Posterior territory stroke with parahippocampal involvement
A neglected cause of neglect
Citation Manager Formats
Make Comment
See Comments
An 87-year-old patient presented with a stroke in the right posterior territory (figure), with visual neglect, which was initially thought to be left homonymous hemianopia. The tip of the occipital lobe was spared, however, and therefore complete hemianopia was not to be expected. With a posterior stroke, neglect can easily be overlooked, although it is common in posterior strokes, when the parahippocampal gyrus is involved.1 The 2 deficits can be tested for separately by turning the body of the patient to the left and the head to the right, because the neglect is body-centered.2 (video 1).

Open Aquarium and Open Garden IoT solutions use Arduino and Open Source APIs.
Today, at Dreamforce 2014, Libelium launched two new sensor platforms that automate control and maintenance tasks in aquariums and in gardens through wireless connectivity and using open source APIs. Designed for Makers, the new IoT solutions are based on Arduino, and include specialized sensors to measure parameters vital to aquatic life in ponds and fish tanks, or for indoor and outdoor gardening.
Open Aquarium monitors factors in water such as temperature, pH, conductivity; it measures water levels and leakage, and deploys actuators that can feed the fish, regulate water heating / cooling, activate pumps to change water or administer medicine, and control light intensity to simulate day- and night cycles. The sensors send information using wireless interfaces such as Wi-Fi, GPRS and 3G.
Open Garden includes a suite of sensors such as humidity, light, temperature, or soil moisture to monitor plants for optimal care wherever they are situated. Its actuators can control irrigation, and activate lights and oxygen pumps. A Hydroponics kit is also available including pH and conductivity probes.
Each product comes with a complete open source API, and a web application that allows collected information to be stored in a database and visualized from a browser or from iPhone or Android smartphone devices. Open Aquarium and Open Garden are designed to work with both U.S. (110V) and Europe (220V) power requirements.
David Gascón, CTO at Libelium, said:
"We design connected technology using open source code to help makers discover, improve, and scale new sensor-based solutions for the Internet of Things."
Immediate Availability
Kits for both platforms are available for purchase on the Cooking Hacks website, Libelium's open hardware division. Pricing starts at 199€ (~$250). For further information, please see:

This homemade costume for couples entered our 2018 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Angela, the 'The Coneheads' costume creator:
We come from France. All other costume options were uuuunacceptable!
Total cost was under $40 for both costumes - and $35 of that was spent on the cones! The rest was from the thrift store and our own closets, We had a great time trick-or-treating with our 3 boys. Though the kids couldn't relate, we were quite a hit with the adults!

Today I decided to shake it up, rattle some things around, sit on the washing machine, stare at random people, eat some Dom. Then repeat.
I also slept.
Even the semi-average southern reporter type needs a rest some days.
If only there was something to report, but there isn't.
I am starting to think that Winter Festival should be shortened to five or six days. I feel as though the organisors have dragged it out to make people stay longer, while losing the hype of the event during the week and turning blogs like mine into boring pieces of shit.
Lets have some action here. I don't want to waste my time thinking about the ups and downs of Winter Fest, all I want to do is rage-out and have some fun.
At least Jazz Night is a guaranteed stellar performance.

The sender shows as "Christopher"<firstname.lastname@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. We recommend that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, or follow any URLs as you may expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
I am mrs.Rochelle, A United States Citizen,62 years old. I reside here in Arizona, United States of America. I am thinking of relocating since I am now wealthy.Well I will have to let the cat out of the bag and let this great news known to you, I am one of those that took part in the Compensation awards in Benin Republic many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had spent over $190,000.00 of my life savings while in the USA trying to get my payment but all to no avail.After all this series of criminal acts that happened to me, I decided to travel down to Benin Republic with all my compensation documents as I was directed to meet with one Barrister Johnson Peterson who happens to be a member of the Compensation Award Committee in Benin. I contacted him and he explained everything to me in detailed information's, He said whoever is contacting us through emails, Phone or whichever means are fake.The Barrister Johnson took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. With great joy in my heart right now I am the happiest woman on planet earth this time, I received my compensation funds of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars(U$6,500,000.00). Moreover,the lawyer showed me the full list and information's of receivers that has been scheduled to receive their payments but are yet to receive it, While going through this list carefully I saw your email address and other information's as one of the beneficiaries, for this reason I have decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not in any way with your funds and won't stop taking money from you, these people are only stealing from you.Right now I will advise that you contact Barrister, You can contact him directly on this information below. THE COMPENSATION AWARDEE DEPT,BENIN REPUBLIC, NAME: Barrister Johnson Stanley Peterson. Please Copy His Email: firstname.lastname@example.com You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you all sort of lies as your funds is not in anyways with them. They are only taking advantage of you and they will not stop until you have nothing just like they did to me in the past, The only money I paid after I met Barrister is just $299 for the paper works, take note of that. (NOTE: TELLING YOU TO PAY FOR ANY DELIVERY OR COURIER CHARGE IS ALL NOTHING BUT LIES, I REPEAT THE ONLY MONEY YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AND WHICH I ALSO PAID IS $299 FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE/ ENDORSEMENT CHARGE AS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE BENIN REPUBLIC AND YOUR PACKAGE CONTAINING THE CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT CHEQUE WILL BE REACHING YOU THROUGH THE REGULAR MAIL SERVICE.) Once again I urge you to stop contacting those people for your own good, I will advise you to contact Barr.Johnson Peterson so that he will help and give you guideline until your funds is delivered to you. Instead of dealing with those people that will be turning you around and asking for different kind of upfront money to complete your transaction, I will advise that you contact only Barr.Peterson with your full details and explain to him your pass exprience on dealt with Africa banks and companies,I believe he will help you as he helped me.Thank You and Remain Blessed.

Citation: Shaba P, Pandey NN, Rao JR; S Dey, Tiwari R K et al (2019) Trypanocidal activity of HPLC purified precoceneII from Ageratum houstonionumleaves against Trypanosmaevansi. SciTech NanoSciences-Pharma 2019. Tokyo: Japan
Received: August 04, 2019 Accepted: August 06, 2019 Published: August 06, 2019
Trypanosomosis, one of the neglected diseases, had resurged with debilitating to fatal effects on both animals and humans without a new drug to combat it. Freshly harvested leaves of Ageratum houstonionum were dried under shade and powdered. Extraction of the leaf sample of A. houstonionum was by the process of hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus for the preparation of essential oil. Obtained extract of A. houstonianum was done by dissolving 5 µL of the essential oil in 10 mL methanol. The sample was filtered through a Whatman (Maidstone, England) stainless steel syringe assembly using a 0.22 µm Durapore (Millipore: Milford, USA) membrane filter. HPLC analysis was carried out via a Waters HPLC system consisting of model 510 and 515 pumps, a Rheodyne injector, a Novapak C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm i.d.; 4 µm), a model 490E multi-channel detector and Millennium 2010 sata manager. The mobile phase constituents were filtered using a Durapore 0.22 µm membrane filter. The elution was carried out with a linear gradient of acetonitrile: water (40:60) to pure acetonitrile in 60 min at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. detection was at 210, 240, 280 and 320 nm. The precocene was eluted within 25 min, the peak areas showed good reproducibility (average relative standard deviation were 0.78%), and the calibration curves (i.e. mass of precocene standard injected vs. peak area detected at 210 nm) were linear over the range of 0.05-10 µg (for precocene I, y = 6654454 x + 176626, r2 = 0.99 and for precocene II, y = 4618457 x + 133472, r2 = 0.99). Standard sample containing precocene I (1 mg/mL) and precocene II (1 mg/mL) obtained from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA) were prepared in methanol. Identified precocene II was screened against Trypanosomaevansi for trypanocidal activity on Vero cells grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and supplemented with foetal calf serum (FCS) 20-40% at appropriate conditions. In vitro cytotoxicity test of precocene II at concentrations (1.56-100 µg ml-1) was done on Vero cells but without FCS. In vitro trypanocidal activity varied from immobilization, reduction and to the killing of trypanosomes in corresponding ELISA plate wells. At 250 µg ml-1of purified precocene II, there was a drastic reduction of average mean trypanosomes count to complete killing of trypanosomes (40.±0.0 to 0.00±0.00) at 6 h of incubation, which was statistically the same as diminazineaceturate (50 µg ml-1) at 4 h. Trypanosomes counts decreased in concentration and time –dependent manner with significant difference (P ≤ 0.05 to 0. 01)). In in vitro cytotoxicity test, purified precocene II and diminazineaceturate standard drug were cytotoxic to Vero cells at all concentrations except at concentrations of 6.25-1.56 µg ml-1 for both respectively. Trypanocidal activity recorded was due to precocene II. A source of a new trypanocide could be obtained from it.
KEYWORDS: Ageratum houstonionum leaves, HPLC purified Precocene II, In-vitro Trypanocidal Activity, ln-vitro Cytotoxicity Test.

We have some agreement there, but even that is not straight forward as the employers consist of groups of individuals who bring their views to play and make the decisions. Indeed the later part of this discussion seems to have focused on the importance of discussion, advice and a free exchange of views as a means of trying to gain some clarity, albeit in a large sense based on speculative viewpoints. The YouTube actions in removing the Vanessa Brookes video seems to have stopped a similar thing occurring in a forum she apparently felt would be informative for her. (Unless of course the publishing was done with malicious intent). If that removal is only as a result of YouTube editorial policies as suggested by Lauren Weinstein, then the basis of those policies probably needs questioning as there are clearly occasions when a quick strict decision lacking some broader flexibility in its interpretation of policy does not allow for individuals on their own to utilise a method of communications to obtain advice or other viewpoints which could well suit their needs the best, and where the regulations could allow for various exemption(s) covering the data collection and subsequent use. (I am thinking here of a constraint on people who may ordinarily feel it is more difficult to communicate effectively on a subject using the written word.) One would expect that if the policies did not allow for such a thing, they would be legally wrong across the different legal systems in which they probably operate and would certainly threaten many peoples freedoms. Do not mistake the basis of my point here, I am not supporting the widespread and total recording of everything all of the time on a just in case, or other more obtuse basis for purposes yet to be determined, which my current views are very strongly against. I am limiting my comments to instances where a particular circumstance, for particular reasons, in a particular context would justify that purposive action. Changing the perspective around, if the videoing had been properly authorised and conducted in the same circumstances by the social worker, or whoever the video related to in a work context, because they felt the organisation was threatened (not physically), for use in a subsequent case conference or similar to which Vanessa Brookes had no access or knowledge of, for the purpose of obtaining other views and advice within the organisation, what difference would have existed; for it is at that point that what is often termed privacy becomes clearer in some of its social implementations and hence why many people ascribing to such a constrained view of privacy often incorrectly express it as only being power based. Even there different answers do exist, consider the USA Watergate scandal as containing a similar point about power distribution and balance clearly then becomes part of that part of the equation making such a viewpoint politically favourable.

Tips for Traveling with a Toddler
We just returned from a great 5 day trip to Breckenridge, Colorado. Even though I didn't get to ski (thank you very much, Baby 2.0), I had a good time in the mountains and spending time with good friends.
This was the first family vacation we have taken so we were a bit nervous about the traveling portion. Mapquest told us it would be a 12+ hour drive to Breckenridge. With a squirmy toddler and a pregnant mama, we anticipated this trip taking longer than that. Thanks to some friends who had recently done similar trips with their little ones, I had some great tips and tricks to make the car ride much more pleasant than it would have been if I had not taken their wise counsel.
Practical Tips and Tricks for Traveling with a Toddler
I can't promise the following things will work for your toddler- I am only speaking from my personal experience. You have to take into account your child's interests and temperament and plan from there.
Leave Early
We left at 3 a.m. Our hope was that our daughter would sleep the first chunk of the drive. It KINDOF worked. She was pretty wound up when we got into the car and eventually fell asleep for a short nap but we liked how this first part of the car ride was a "quiet time" where we played soft music, talked in low voices, and just let her sit in the back without much stimulation.
Get out of the Car for Meals
After about 3 hours on the road we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast. This worked well for a lot of reasons. First of all we were able to let her run around the store part of the restaurant and play with toys and enjoy a new, stimulating environment. It also was nice to not eat fast food and gave the parents a chance to take a break. We did a similar thing for lunch. At the Subway we ate at, I was encouraging my daughter to run laps around our table. Whatever works to burn some energy, right? Stopping for meals made a BIG difference for all of us.
Borrow Toys
I borrowed some toys from two or three friends and stashed them away until the car ride. When I brought out the "new" toys, they entertained her for longer than the ones she had played with multiple times before.
Check Out Library Books
Again, the novelty of books she hadn't seen before worked well. My daughter loves pop-up/flap books so I had the librarian help me find some in that category. She loved them. I'd suggest taking the time to find books that you know you're child will be interested in and excited about.
Have Snacks Available
We try not to do a ton of snacking between meals but when on a 13 hour road trip, we chucked this idea and stashed the car with lots of handy snacks that she enjoyed. I especially liked crackers or things that took a little work to eat. This was just another tool in our toolbox to keep her occupied.
Watch Some TV (and Don't Feel Guilty)
I don't know if this is good advice but I can say we watched a lot of DVD's and our car ride went A LOT smoother because of it. I have no regrets about it. Thanks to Elmo, Dora, Blue's Clues, and a few other random DVD's we borrowed from friends, our trip went a lot faster than it would have if we hadn't. I'm well aware that up until a few years ago, kids traveled without the luxury of shows to watch but I figured if it works, go for it. It also made the trip a lot more enjoyable for the parents and I think our attitude and mood is a huge factor on how well the trip goes.
Mix it Up
Sometimes I sat in the back with my daughter-sometimes I was in the front. After a show or two we'd have snack time. Then move on to new books and toys. We'd then make a stop, get out, move around, and get back in the car and find something new to do. At one point I even found myself playing peek-a-boo with her behind her carseat. Yes, it took some work and energy to keep the activities fresh but I'd rather do that than a have a cranky toddler behind my seat for 12 hours.
Have Realistic Expectations
Rachel wrote a great post about Less Stressful Travel with Little Kids a few months ago. She shared about the importance of having the right attitude and expectations when traveling with little ones. I read her post before we left for our trip and it helped me a lot. I suggest you read it! Also, if you check out the comments on her post, there were some GREAT trips from moms who have traveled with kiddos (thanks Darcie, Carla, and Kelley!).
Like I said, we had a great trip. Most of the information shared above was gleaned from other moms so I can't take too much credit. I just thought it'd be good to share the traveling wisdom with anyone else who has a trip lined up in the near future. Happy travels!

We have five bathrooms in this house. Three are full. Two are half baths. This one is upstairs on the other side of the house where the guest bedroom is. It's only a half bath right now but we have plans to convert a closet to a shower so it's more convenient when guests do come. It's currently another ugly little room. Another that was just sort of pushed to the side with ideas to deal with it later. We had this dinky little shelf thing in the basement that got placed in the bathroom just for storage purposes. Another lack luster idea.
I almost forgot to take a before photo for you.
I finished it off this weekend and put it into place.
For the hardware, I left the original on the top drawer, but replaced the handles on the two bottom drawers with handles from Hobby Lobby.
I really like the difference in the paint and the stain. You don't notice it that much from the front of the dresser, but the differences are there.
- install shower in place of the closet (which is actually on the outside of the room)
- replace the flooring which is currently just laminate
- replace sink cabinet with a pedestal sink
- replace toilet to match sink because I want a white one and the toilet isn't white!
