Hump behind the shoulders (Dorsocervical fat pad)
Hump behind the shoulders is an area of fat accumulation on the back of the neck. The medical name of this condition is dorsocervical fat pad.
Alternative Names
Buffalo hump; Dorsocervical fat pad
A hump behind the shoulders by itself is not a sign of a specific condition. The doctor must consider this along with other symptoms and test results.
Cause of dorsocervical fat pad includes any of the following:
- Certain medicines used to treat HIV or AIDS
- Long-term use of certain glucocorticoid medicines, including prednisone, cortisone, and hydrocortisone
- Obesity
- Hypercortisolism (caused by Cushing syndrome)
- Certain genetic disorders that cause unusual fat accumulation
Osteoporosis may cause a curvature of the spine in the neck called kyphoscoliosis. This causes an abnormal shape but does not by itself cause excessive fat in the back of the neck.
Home Care
If the hump is caused by a certain medicine, your doctor may tell you to stop taking the medicine or change the dosage. Do not stop taking the medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Diet and exercise can help you lose weight and may relieve some fat accumulation due to obesity.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have an unexplained hump behind the shoulders.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your doctor will perform a physical examination and ask about your medical history and symptoms. Tests may be ordered to determine the cause.
Treatment will be aimed at the problem that caused the fat to develop in the first place.

I am a thoughtful, kind caring person. I am somewhat sensitive and shy, but once people get to know me I am quite engaging and like to make others laugh. Sharing tenderness and intimate moments makes me happy. I approach my relationships with compassion and understanding that we all must have the freedom to make mistakes and that we all need to be forgiven for our mistakes at some time. I do expect that mistakes should result in learning and accepting responsibility.I believe that durable relationships are built on trust and chemistry. Chemistry is something we have no control over (aside from good hygiene and healthy behaviors!). Trust is another matter. In exploring issues of how we learn to trust each other, I was shocked to find that one of the great impediments to being able to build trust with another was learning to trust myself. As long as I had self doubt, I could not act in a way that was trustworthy to others. Now, it's a fine line between arrogance and self-assuredness, and remaining open to "teaching moments" that result in continued growth remains a huge challenge. One of the keys here as well as with other issues, is to accept the fact that mistakes will be made, and must be accepted. Having a good life is a process, not a goal.Current books I am reading: The Happiness Hypothesis

"Right now is a bad time I think to ask people to put more of their limited income into serial levies, bond measures and whatever else is out there," Poling said.

Hello and welcome to my profile! You have made great decision stopping by here!
Music is a huge passion of mine, I play the guitar - I love playing with friends when I get the chance, I like listening to new stuff and go to shows... My style is mostly jazz/ fusion but I can pretty much enjoy listening to almost anything. I also like to hang out with good friends, enjoy a good restaurant, movies, reading and learning new things. I love traveling! Spent some time in south America some years ago and really enjoyed it, and I always look for the opportunity to take a vacation.
Staying in shape, eating well and generally live a healthy and balanced life style is very important to me, I work out when I have the time, mostly two three times a week. I don't eat red meat or chicken, mostly because of environmental reasons... We can talk about it in more detail when you reply to my message -)
I'm here looking to meet cool down to earth people, to have a good time with and see where it takes us. I don't take myself too seriously and I try to enjoy and appreciate what I have and not get into extra dramas when things don't go as I plan.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
While reality television programs appear to reflect real life situations, most viewers recognize that the shows are staged events designed for entertainment.
However, some groups believe some of the programs have taken real life entertainment too far, demonstrating behavior that seems harmless, but could lead to serious injury, even death.
In last Monday's episode of the NBC reality show, "Fear Factor," contestants had to collect four flags as they negotiated through a 40-foot maze of electrically charged wires.
Contestants competing as couples were handcuffed together for the event.
Concerned about the potential effects of the staged event, Utah Power warned Carbon County viewers about the highly dangerous behavior in the episode.
Promotional spots on TV and NBC's website portray a stunt wherein contestants appear to be inside a power station and receive electric shocks as they make their way through crisscrossing wires.
"We spend a lot of time and energy educating the public about the hazards of electricity. Tonight's episode of 'Fear Factor' undermines our life-saving message and gives a false impression about the true power of electricity," said Amy Eschete, Utah Power public safety manager. "What this show demonstrates with this stunt is not reality, and is, in fact far from it. Anyone who sees this show and thinks it is okay to access a substation or touch or go near wires needs to know that the potential for injuries or death is the only thing real about this situation."
Eschete first learned of the upcoming show from a peer member of the Utility Public Safety Alliance, a U.S. and Canadian association of electric and gas utility public safety representatives.
he Edison Electric Institute, which represents the nation's investor-owned utilities and helps promote the safety alliance's concerns, then took action to have the show edited or dropped in light of the content.
"It's important for viewers to know that there is no such thing as a 'nuisance shock' � and your Monday Evening broadcast will blur the line between fantasy and reality in ways that could have disastrous results, including perhaps even the electrocution of unsuspecting 'Fear Factor' fans," wrote Tom Kuhn, president of the institute in a letter to NBC.
"While we do not know the details of the show, we are definitely concerned that if the program airs as intended, it may cause viewers to fail to appreciate the seriousness�and potential danger�of electric power facilities and equipment," Eschete said before the episode aired. "We're additionally concerned that by just having seen the heavily promoted previews, viewers may have a false impression about electrical power. Touching or going near power lines can be deadly or cause life-altering injuries and is extremely foolish. Power lines are placed high overhead or buried underground for a reason."
Utah Power suggests that while NBC does make some effort to warn viewers, such a disclaimer may not be enough when it comes to safe behavior around power lines and equipment, especially for children.
"The power lines and transformers in the real world are not a backdrop for a TV show," Eschete said. "If you read the fine print on the NBC Web page, it says 'The stunts described on this Web site were designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by anyone, anywhere, anytime.' We couldn't agree more."
Utah Power recommends the following tips for staying safe near power equipment.
If you see a downed power line, assume it's electrified. Don't touch it; don't even go near it. Immediately call Utah Power at 1-888-221-7070.
Never climb a power pole or other electrical equipment, including substation fences.
Look up and stay aware of the location of overhead power lines to avoid making contact with them.
If you see others climbing or playing around power equipment, urge them to move away.
Report any damaged or unlocked electrical equipment or any persons attempting to climb into substations to Utah Power.

'Burn Notice' - 'Guilty as Charged' Recap (Summer Finale)
(S04E12) You can count on the finales of 'Burn Notice' to leave you wanting more, and that was precisely what happened after this episode ended. November can't come soon enough for fans who, like me, want to know how Michael Westen is going to get out of this fix! More on that and the need for submersible vehicles after the jump.
There were three elements tugging at Michael throughout the episode, and none of them were easily dismissed or ignored. There was nothing for Fiona and Sam to handle on their own, not because they weren't capable, but because this was a Michael-centric finale.
The Jesse situation was particularly gnarly because he had literally become a loose cannon. The Westen team -- Madeline included -- had no idea where he was or what he might do ... other than the fact that he wanted to kill Michael. Madeline realized the gravity of the situation, and even though she had seen it coming and warned Michael about lying to Jesse, she wasn't going to abandon Michael. She eschewed a trip out of town -- Michael's idea -- in case she could reach Jesse. "Maybe I'll stay and try to convince him not to shoot you."
Before Michael could deal with Jesse or the Barrett exchange, a case fell into his lap. It was the kind of case Michael couldn't turn down; rescuing Sarah Scott, a kidnapped child. Michael identified her as the client, not her scumbag lawyer father. The brother of one of the lawyer's client's was the culprit and to retrieve the kid, Michael had to employ some illusion.
But first, Michael needed a submersible vehicle to get to the impregnable spot where Sarah was being held. Michael's infiltration might have worked if the bad guys didn't know that he was coming. Lawson was a step ahead of Michael because he'd tapped the lawyer's phone. That seemed like the kind of loose end Michael doesn't miss, but for this ep, he missed it.
That meant that in order to get the girl, Michael and company had to pull a 'Mission: Impossible' kind of sleight of hand exchange. Bullets flew and wheels screeched, but in the end, Sarah was saved and Michael was paid off with the sub.
Michael had to set up the Barrett exchange without being killed. A simple phone call wasn't going to work. Michael had to impress Barrett, so he walked into the lion's den. With rifles trained on him, Michael arranged to meet Barrett with the bible.
Unfortunately, Jesse wasn't interested in being part of Team Westen. He was hiding out in Hialeah. Fiona reached out to Jesse, and give credit to Michael, he trusted Fiona to make the first attempt to reach him. And Fiona trusted Madeline to be persuasive. More than anything that Fiona or Michael said to Jesse, it was likely Madeline's words that stuck with him.
The fly in the ointment, however, was Vaughn. All season long, Vaughn let Michael do his thing. That gave Michael a sense of confidence that when he told Vaughn about the meeting and said, "My operation, my way," Vaughn would respect him. Wrong! Of course, Vaughn may have assumed what we knew Michael had in mind. That Michael would use the bible and Barrett to make a deal for Jesse.
When Vaughn's team broke up Michael's meet with Barrett, Westen was captured and Jesse got to do what he'd been wanting to do for weeks. He shot Michael. Actually, he shot through Michael's shoulder to kill the guy who was holding him captive.
Barrett took bleeding and vulnerable Michael in his SUV and as the seconds ticked away, Westen had to make a bold move. He crashed the car. Michael will survive the crash and the gun shot, but somebody else now has the bible. Who that somebody is remains a mystery ... till November.
Other points of interest
-- Vaughn's approach to the Barrett meeting was clumsy and obvious. Michael was right not to trust him.
-- The somebody who picked up the case with the bible was wearing military boots. It might have been Jesse.
Quotable dialogue
"I know it's hard to believe, but I am your friend." Michael to Jesse.
"I'm not looking to join that black tee shirt and sunglasses set. No offense." -- Michael to Barrett
"Are you confused now?" -- Michael
"I don't think so." -- Fiona
"I'm not a saint, Mr. Westen. Neither are you." Lawyer Scott to Michael.
"If you don't like what she has to say, shoot her. Shoot us both." -- Madeline to Jesse.

Ramamurthy, S (1963) Studies on the hydrological factors in the north Kanara coastal waters. Indian Journal of Fisheries , 10 A (1). pp. 75-93.
The role of the hydrological factors in the productivity of the seas is well known. The North Kanara coast supports a rich fishery constituted by the plankton-feeder—Indian mackerel and no information is available regarding the hydrological conditions existing in this area which is a prerequisite to understand the plankton production and fisheries of this region A detailed investigation of the inshore waters of the North Kanara coast was therefore under, taken with special reference to the physical and chemical characteristics at the surface and to the meteorological factors. The work was carried out during 1954-1958 and covered a stretch of forty miles exte \ding from Karwar in the north to Kumta in the south. The area chosen for the critical study possessed an additional point of interest in that a large river—the Kali river enters the sea at Karwar.

We all get the travel bug at some stage of our lives, and we usually think of heading straight overseas. But with the exchange rate as it is, it's worth investigating what you are missing out on in your own country for a fraction of the cost. Interestingly enough, backpacking in South Africa is not very well known among locals and yet a thriving backpacking culture exists on our doorstep. There are an estimated 300 backpacker hostels throughout South Africa, ranging in location from cities to very areas. Baz Bus, a door-to-door backpacker bus service, provides transport for more than 180 hostels and reaches out-of-the-way areas not covered by other transport providers. The concept is simple – your simply buy a one ticket to your final destination and then hop on and off anywhere along the route as many times as you want, whenever you want, with no time limit. There are many places of interest along the route between Cape Town and Johannesburg and Pretoria, covering the popular Garden Route and the Transkei Wild Coast with its rugged cliffs and untouched coastline. From Durban you have the option of traveling either via the Drakensberg – the highest peaks in South Africa and gateway into Lesotho – or via Swaziland, with the youngest reigning monarch in the world. Says Alex Beach of Cape Town: " I remember waking up one morning, looking over the stunning mountains of the Kingdom of Lesotho with breathtaking views around Melea Lea, and just smiling. That day was special for me, as we were going pony trekking. We left after a hearty breakfast
And I was amazed at how friendly the children were, running alongside the ponies, smiling and waving at us. I felt so lucky to be a South African with Lesotho just on my doorstep". Most backpacker hostels offer a huge range of adventure activities and cultural encounters at affordable rates. Examples include the highest bungee jump in the world, white shark cage diving, exhilarating mountain trails and even meeting practicing witchdoctors. Accommodation varies widely from traditional huts to converted hunting lodges and homes. Backpacker hostels generally have a warm atmosphere and their prices pale in comparison to our European counterparts, with dormitory beds (sharing bunk-bed style) from as little as R50 a night, and doubles from R150 a room. Backpacking is a culture of meeting people, seeing new places and sharing travel stories. When you backpack in South Africa. You will meet people from all over the world, so not only will you experience the rainbow cultures of South Africa, but also gain the opportunity of learning how other young International travelers perceive our land and its people. So don't delay, pack your bags (and don't forget your surfboards and guitar) and get our there! You will see exquisite scenery, meet interesting people, save money and contribute towards sustainable tourism development in South Africa.

Powering UnityPrint this page
In support of the Government's aspiration to foster unity among the various communities, TNB hosts internal programmes and sends contingents to participate in programmes organised by the Government at both the federal and state levels. These include Hari Kemerdekaan, Hari Malaysia, Hari Wilayah Persekutuan, Hari Pekerja, Hari Wanita, Sambutan Maulidur Rasul and Maal Hijrah.
Internally, TNB fosters the spirit of 1 Malaysia by celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Deepavali in a big way at the headquarters and all state offices through the traditional open house concept where management, staff, stakeholders and other guests come together in the spirit of unity. The Company also has a nationwide Buka Puasa programme during the month of Ramadhan, when the management in every state hosts about 300-400 guests, including community leaders, to a breaking of fast at a local mosque.
In addition, TNB organises Family Days and Sports Carnivals every two years, alternating these on a year-to-year basis. While the Family Days are held at the headquarters and at the individual states, the Sports Carnival brings together sportsmen from the TNB family from all over Malaysia to the Klang Valley. In addition, TNB holds an Annual Assembly in conjunction with its Anniversary celebration and New Year gathering.

Signal transduction, glia-neuron interactions, neuroinflammation, drug discovery for neurodegenerative disorders
Research in the Van Eldik lab aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which abnormal activation of glia in the brain, especially astrocytes and microglia, leads to damage of the neurons and progressive neurodegeneration in diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The overall goal is to utilize knowledge of potentially "druggable" pathways to develop new therapeutics. The normal role of the glia is to cooperate with the neurons to keep the brain operating smoothly. When an injury or change in the brain occurs, the glial mount a beneficial inflammation response to fight off the insult and restore the brain to its proper functioning. While a controlled inflammatory response is an important element in protecting the brain, this beneficial process sometimes gets out of balance and the inflammation becomes too strong or does not shut off on schedule. In neurodegenerative diseases, the glia are over-activated, producing detrimental inflammatory molecules called proinflammatory cytokines that can contribute to nerve cell death and accelerate the progression of the disease. Although neuroinflammation appears to play a pivotal role in the development and progression of neurodegeneration, the molecular mechanisms underlying the process and approaches to downregulate the neuroinflammation have received little attention. This raises the logical question of whether drugs can be developed to selectively target cytokine up-regulation in glia,with the hope that such drugs would slow down or perhaps even prevent disease progression.
Projects in the Van Eldik lab are focused on identification of signal transduction pathways that mediate the neuroinflammatory responses of activated glia and exploration of how aberrant glial-neuronal interactions contribute to or influence neurodegenerative processes. In collaborative research with medicinal chemistry and integrative pharmacology colleagues, we have extended this knowledge of pathophysiology progression to drug discovery efforts that have yielded novel small molecules that are candidates for drug development as well as tools to explore the potential of improved neurologic outcomes by restoration of activated glia back towards homeostasis.

Tien Dat is a superb Vietnamese and Asian restaurant in Box Hill that delivers on all fronts! The restaurant itself has a great ambience and leans towards fine dining rather than a cheap eat. It's a well established restaurant in Box Hill (being the first Vietnamese restaurant on the Carrington Rd strip) and has a strong North Vietnam influence.
This place is so good that I've been known to get off the train at Box Hill and run up and through Box Hill Centro and out to Tien Dat on Carrington Rd to grab takeaway - then run back down to the station and catch the next train home. It can be a mere 15 min interlude if you time it right.
I've loved the experience of many Vietnamese restaurants in the city. Some of them are more traditional than others. Some of them are deconstructed versions of Vietnamese cuisine. But if you go to Hanoi or the back blocks of Vietnam the food is so fresh and creative! The food at Tien Dat shouts fresh and flavoursome! Love flavours of Lemongrass, basil, coriander, lettuce crunch, chillis, mint and tender meat…
These guys do great Asian noodle dishes. I love the Beef and chilli noodles which I've had several times. Generous portion and awesome flavour profile. The beef is amazingly flavoursome and tender, with the right amount of chilli in the dish. Love dry versions of noodle dishes. Also popular is Singapore Noodles and Mee Goreng Noodles.
Also love the hand rolls! The duck hand rolls are amazing! Almost a meal in themselves! As are the pork and prawn hand rolls! Whatever you do – order the hand rolls! Fresh with crunch!
Also popular for Hanoi spring rolls, beef Pho, Vietnamese Crepe, spicy salted peppered squid, Asian salads, and curry.
Staff here are charming and accommodating. The restaurant has three dining areas – upstairs, downstairs and an outdoor area. Tien Dat is slightly more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to butthe quality is superb! Love it!

George Jetson Has A Secret Son (Video)Josh Loposer
For no apparent reason at all, the silence has been broken in the George Jetson affair and illegitimate child scandal. Unbeknownst to fans of his popular cartoon show, George Jetson had a dark side, a lust for robotic maids, and even a secret (until now) baby.
Michael Jackson's not the only celebrity who's secret children are going public in 2009. It's been revealed via video evidence and divorce court records that George Jetson — previously voted least likely to ever cheat on Jane his wife — apparently has another son aside from his boy Elroy.
It's surprising that the Jetsons were able to keep all of this hushed up for so long. I guess the tabloids industry in the 60s just wasn't nearly as advanced and far-reaching.
It's always more painful when the affair was committed with someone so trusted by the family. So sad.
This video is awesome.

Cowrie shell reading can trace much of its roots to the religious beliefs and practices of the Yoruba people of West Africa.
Traditionally cowrie shells, or sometimes palm nuts, were used by Yoruba male priests as a form of fortune telling known as Ifá divination. Cowrie shell reading is thought to have been brought by slaves to the Americas approximately three to four hundred years ago. Today it still widely practiced in Africa and by the descendants of slaves, but interestingly, women now seem to be the primary practitioners in the Americas.
Cowrie shells themselves are thought to have first been brought to West Africa by early Arab traders and were an important form of currency during the times of slavery. In terms of divination, cowrie shells are thought to possess specials powers. The open side a cowrie shell resembles a mouth with teeth and it is believed by practitioners that the shells can actually "talk" to the person performing the reading. The opposite side of the shell, referred to as the "closed side", is rounded. This rounded side is often filed down flat, so that it exposes the hollow interior of the shell, but it is still referred to as the closed side of the shell.
Today there are many variations on how cowrie shell readings can be performed. In a typical reading, the reader will receive the question and then perform a prayer or blessing on the shells or deity before the shells are gently tossed onto a straw mat. How the shells land (open or closed) and the patterns they form can determine the answer to most types of questions.
One of the simplest forms of readings found in Obi Divination which can use as few as four shells to answer "yes" or "no" types of questions. In this type of reading, the four shells can give up to five different types of answers:
Alafia occurs when all four shells land in the mouth up or open position. Alaifa is considered to be both a very positive "yes" answer with an added blessing on the question being asked.
Etawa occurs when three shells land in the open and one lands in the closed positions. This is considered a 'maybe" answer to the question.
Ejife occurs when two shells land in the open and two shells land in the closed positions. This represents a perfect balance and a "yes" answer to the question. The fact that the shells are in balance though also indicates that the matter is ettled and that no further questions should be asked.
Okana Sode occurs when one shell lands in the open and three land in the closed positions. This is considered a certain "no" answer, however the results can still possibly be changed through prayers and offerings.
Oyekun occurs when all four shells land in the closed positions. This is considered a very strong "no" answer with very negative energy. In this case, blessings and spiritual cleansings should also be made to ward off any harmful influences which may be speaking through the reading.
In its more complex forms, such as Diloggun Divination, sixteen or more shells can be thrown twice to generate up to 256 unique patterns each with unique symbolism and meanings. This form of cowrie shell reading can take years of training to master is usually practiced only by specially trained priests who must perform rituals before, during and after the reading.

Created right at the start of the 21st century by two passionate opticians taken by the idea of producing the best possible optical equipment. For all.
12 years later, OKO EYEWEAR PARIS has become a strong company recognized in the optical industry. Even stronger, it is recognized and highly appreciated by its clients and prescriptors, the opticians themselves : « I particularly appreciate the win/win relationship that has settled between us. (…) I am usually quite tough with my vendors and I have been satisfied right from the start with the kind of partnership we both developed, very professional, free and based on trust. As time goes by, I have felt a true affection for this company's brands. I do not hesitate to organize OKO events from my own initiative. » has declared Franck Schilovitz from the optical shop Alain Afflelou in Paris.
At OKO EYEWEAR, our values play an essential role. They convey a clear message that defines the existence of the brands that make it happen and make it live, and that defines its DNA. It's the combination of all these values that creates unity between the eyewear consumers of the brands OKO by OKO Paris or KIDOKO for children. But what are those values ? (continue reading…)

Upper Savage River Fishing
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Upper Savage River
I went to the Upper Savage River to do some fly fishing on 10/30/13 and 10/31/13. Both days were very productive with some real quality Brook Trout along with some stocked rainbows mixed in. The one rainbow pictured wasn't too long but had quite a large girth. Most were taken on Elk hair caddis with the rainbows preferring a small black wooly bugger.

In a follow up to the thread we discussed recently, Ghostcrawler discusses where the buff to protection warrior DPS will come from (sorry, guys, but it sounds like a buff to Devastate to me, yay for spamming) and a whole lot more. The discussion indicates that while they're interested in single target DPS increases over AoE increases that they don't think tank DPS is that big a factor in boss fights (and to be fair, he's right, it isn't a major factor although the fact that players will overreact to minor factors and stress out their tanks over their DPS, that is) and moves on from there.
The discussion about Devastate (that it's an easy ability to adjust) is fair enough but ignores the even easier solution of simply reducing the defensive stance penalty. To be honest I'd like to hear why there's still a penalty there when abilities like Righteous Fury and Frost Presence suffer none. I find the idea that buffing defensive stance would cause big problems for PvP balance kind of absurd. Battle stance grants 15% ArP and Zerker grants 3% crit, at most people would pop into d stance when focused, like they do now anyway. But we're likely to see buffs to Devastate, so just get used to it. My suggestion? While we're buffing Devastate, also have it queue Heroic Strike for us so that's one less button to spam and I can retire my macro.
The discussion really gets interesting when it moves to the subject of AoE threat and damage. "Long-term, the paladin manner of generating AE damage and threat is probably too good, especially given how simple it is. To be honest, we have very mixed feelings on the whole AE tanking game. We brought the druid and warrior more in line with the paladin for fear of recreating the Shattered Halls / Mount Hyjal experience, where other tanks just weren't competitive. What that has led to of course is the AE tank + AE style of damage for almost every pull."
Frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, he's right. Other tanks look at how paladins tank and want to break off a piece of that action because it is so effortless, and that's not what tanking should be about. DPS players have been spoiled by not having to watch their threat on AoE pulls and just dumping DPS onto targets because they can, especially with a paladin tank. And it's also created an idea of unrealistic tank DPS because of how hyper-inflated this kind of AoE tanking is in terms of the damage it deals to all surrounding mobs. Warriors shouldn't be asking for AoE to be increased to that level. frankly, and this statement seems to indicate that no one will really be there much longer.
"You need the tools to be able to tank legitimate adds fights (imagine lots of incoming mobs), but does that mean every pull needs to devolve into that? We'd like to see less AE overall, so buffing everyone's AE tools isn't going to be tops on our agenda. That does however mean that we really can't afford to have a "best AE tank", and while things are more fair there than they were in BC, they aren't fair enough."
It's hard to tell what the fallout of that will be. Will everyone be brought up to the paladin method, or will paladins be reduced? What about death knights, who boast some very powerful AoE tanking tools but need to ramp up by using Pestilence to spread diseases as well as dropping Death and Decay? Where does that fall on the scale? Will druids and warriors see any additional AoE utility for parity's sake or should we just expect nerfs to others? And how will DPS players react if they suddenly have to watch their threat? Will trash pulls change to emphasize or de-emphasize this notion of preventing 'every pull needing to devolve' into a spamming burn-fest? No way to know at this point. I personally hate nerfs and would rather see all tanks buffed, but I don't really see that happening when the statement seems to indicate a general desire to get away from AoE madness.

Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE reviewJuly 10, 2012
By: Chad Stanton
Allow me to get my $.02 in before the hype machine reaches a fevered pitch. When this album dropped last night there were multiple exclamations of it reaching classic status while it was barely out of the digital plastic.
You can forgive any over-enthusiasm as people have taken to touting how great Frank Ocean is in order to prove they're not homophobic. It's a tad annoying, you didn't know your friends were homophobic until Frank Ocean says something….riiiight, but it's good all in all. As far as the album goes it's pretty good. Especially for a debut album.
I'll forgo a traditional track by track analysis because so many depend upon the context of the songs surrounding it. Frank Ocean doesn't have the strongest singing voice in the world but we knew that, his songwriting and production is the star of the show when it comes to his performance. With a writing style that forgoes the R.Kelly school of singular focus in R&B, Frank Ocean sings about and compares love to a crack pipe and religion which serves to highlight the similarities between the three.
Sweet Life finds him saying forget bringing sand to the beach, but why are people leaving beaches when they have what's perfect for them there. Of course the undercurrent to the whole exercise is that Frank Ocean recently wrote about being in love with a man and it seems to be written about pretty well in "Forrest Gump" which is written well and no listening to it didn't turn me gay so, no big deal.
The production of the album is also a star here. channel ORANGE's style is pretty dependent on continuity and signalling a break to move the listener along the experience. With a lot of ambient sounds in the back Ocean's voice doesn't overwhelm or get buried in the mix. I still like the "The Bravest Man In The Universe" better but this is pretty good in it's own right.
Highlights: Thinkin Bout You, Sweet Life, Super Rich Kids, Crack Rock, Pyramids, Monks, Bad Religion, Pink Matter, and Forrest Gump

The issue seems to be controversial, yet sensitive. Answer to this question will determine the fate of millions of youngsters in India who opt call center jobs as their career. The arrest of Nadeem Kashmiri in the HSBC call center fraud has raised a big question mark on the reliability and security of Indian BPO industry. Sadly, this is not the single incident of security breach in call centers. In the past couple of years, several cases of data fraud have been reported in call center facilities in Pune, Mumbai, Gurgaon and Bangalore.
We admit or not, such incidents are bound to affect the booming BPO industry in India. Experts believe that cases of security breach in India are minimal as compared to that abroad. However, here the question is why should not we provide hundred percent secure services to our foreign clients who heavily rely on us for the efficiency and effectiveness of their processes?

Remember the Food Pyramid? Our visual guide to responsible food choices has been updated and simplified. The USDA has replaced the Food Pyramid with "My Plate" which shows recommendations for what portion of your meal should be made up of each food group, half of which should be fruit and vegetables.
How does your diet measure up? Women ages 19-30 are recommended to consume the equivalent of 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables per day. Men are recommended 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of vegetables per day. These guidelines are for people who engage in less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day, so the recommendation for people with active jobs or who exercise regularly will be greater.
What constitutes a cup of fruit? Typically a piece of whole fruit (like an apple) 1 full cup of diced fresh fruit, 1/2 cup of dried fruit or 1 cup of 100% fruit juice. However, if you're replacing your fruit servings with juice (even if it is 100% juice with no added sugar) you'll be missing out on dietary fiber, which is an important part of daily nutrition. As we always say here at Breaktime, everything in moderation!
I don't need to tell you that fruit plays an important role in your health, but you might be interested to know that besides containing important nutrients that lower risks of heart disease, stroke, and some cancers, it also helps keep your dentist happy by contributing to your tooth and gum health. Many fruits are loaded with fiber which can lower risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as reducing cholesterol. Vitamin C, potassium and folic acid are among the other amazing nutrients that boost your health.
Getting the recommended daily value doesn't have to be difficult. Make it easier for yourself by having prepared, pre-portioned fruit ready to go, making you more likely to reach for the right choice when hunger strikes. You can dice up melon, pineapple, or strawberries in Tupperware in the fridge. One of the great things about fruit is that much of is is portable and already preportioned for you! Apples, oranges, bananas, and peaches are ready to throw in a purse or brief case without having to worry too much about temperature. If you like to indulge in the occasional bowl of ice cream, sprinkle it with berries in place of the hot fudge. Grab a banana and some yogurt instead of a donut in the morning.
If you're worried about pesticides and the like, here is a great guide to avoiding pesticides in fruit and vegetables without the expense of buying 100% of your produce organic. I'm glad to see that some of my favorite produce is on the list of least contaminated (like onions, asparagus, cabbage, and kiwi!). Reducing your exposure to pesticides is wonderful, but keep in mind : "eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all." ~Donna Wiss, Juice +

Multiplayer, particularly the online variety, is practically a must-have feature for any type of game nowadays, as lots of players want to experience their favorite games with others, either cooperatively, like in Mass Effect 3, or competitively, like in FIFA 13.
There are quite a few games that didn't feature any sort of multiplayer mode, like Dishonored, but there are others that tried to balance things out, either by ingenious solutions, like Hitman: Absolution's Contracts mode, either by implementing old-school systems like local multiplayer.
The first Nintendo Wii U games take this traditional route, as they focus on playing with others locally, not online.
Both titles made by Nintendo, like Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U, as well as ones made by Ubisoft, like ZombiU or Rayman Legends, have such an emphasis.
Nintendo's developers even confessed that they had tried to get players to experience gaming on the Wii U with others in the same room because Nintendo Land's lack of online connectivity.
Other games follow this same strategy, as both New Super Mario Bros. U and Rayman Legends, two great puzzle platformers, rely on someone using the Wii U's GamePad to help the actual characters who are jumping through the level.
The Mario title lets GamePad wielders to create new platforms for their friends (who play via the Wii Remotes), while Rayman puts players in the flying shoes of Murphy, a new character who can manipulate platforms as well as enemies and the environment.
Last but not least, as we highlighted in our review, ZombiU has just a local competitive mode, in which the GamePad user is the king of the zombies and must impede the efforts of several survivors, who are controlled by other people by using the Wii Remote + Nunchuk or the Wii U Pro Controller.
This whole emphasis, while a bit awkward considering how much people tend to play online, it does get people to experience playing on the Wii U, even if they didn't buy a console and will make them more likely to consider purchasing one.

Palin's church severely damaged by arson
Damage to the Wasilla Bible Church was estimated at $1 million, authorities said. No one was injured in the fire, which was set Friday night while a handful of people, including two children, were inside, according to James Steele, the Central Mat-Su fire chief.
He said the blaze was being investigated as an arson. Steele said he didn't know of any recent threats to the church, and authorities did not know whether Palin's connection to the church was relevant to the fire.
"It's hard to say at this point. Everything is just speculation," he said.
Pastor Larry Kroon declined to say whether the church had received any recent threats.
Palin was not at the church at the time of the fire. She stopped by Saturday, and her spokesman Bill McAllister said in a statement that the governor told an assistant pastor she was sorry if the fire was connected to the "undeserved negative attention" the church has received since she became the vice presidential candidate Aug. 29.
"Whatever the motives of the arsonist, the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good," McAllister said.
The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Palin was named Sen. John McCain's running mate. Early in Palin's campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Love Won Out conference in Anchorage sponsored by Focus on the Family. The conference promised to "help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome."
The fire was set at the entrance of the church and moved inward as a small group of women worked on crafts, Steele said. The group was alerted to the blaze by a fire alarm.
This is just my opinion, but I would categorize this crime as a "Hate Crime" and not arson. This was an intentional threat. There were people inside the church, women and children, and there was an injury. It could even be categorized as attempted murder. I disagree with the authorities on the arson charge, it was a lot more than that.
I just don't understand the blind hate that some people have toward Sarah Palin? It is time to move on and focus on what the future will hold. She lost the election can they not get passed that?
And why attack her church? What were they trying to resolve or what message they were trying to convey? What horrid situation.

"I just don't understand the blind hate that some people have toward Sarah Palin?"
You don't know the left Leticia, tolerance, diversity and all that is just the facade for the useful idiots, at heart, hate is what drives the hardcore ones. If you want to know what's really inside them, ask one of them one day to denounce communism as an evil and wretched ideology, then sit back and watch them squirm.
The other reason is that they are terrified of Palin and all that she represents, so they try their best to drive her into the ground and into oblivion, she can never be allowed to get that close to the whitehouse again. They are terrified that she'll come back and will do all they possibly can to stop her.
"What were they trying to resolve or what message they were trying to convey?"
Come back at your own peril, crystal-clear.

Aimz, it is a horrid situation and I wonder what the condition of the person who was injured is in? They never did specify.
Abouna, agreed.
MK, when you put that way it does make a lot of sense.
To burn a church down and knowing innocent people were inside makes me sick, they should have known she would not be inside, so I agree it was a very clear message and threat.

You make an excellent point, Leticia. Why is a crime against an African America or gay person a hate crime and not against Christians?
- December 17, 2008 at 8:41 AM
- Leticia said...
Amy, if you find the answer for that one, let me know. Christians have lost their rights in this country.

Personally, I'm against labeling any crime a "hate crime" because it assumes that I know what's going on in a person's head. There's only One that knows that, and He's not being asked for the most part.
I don't understand the timing-- it's weird to have it so far after the election. There are sad people out there, but we must remember that Christ died for them as well.

It's never fun to relay these bits of information, but it seems there were some layoffs at id Software today.
The news came by way of a tweet and was later confirmed by Joystiq.
The studio's most recent effort, Rage, fared ok critically and was lauded for its technical achievements via id's Tech 5 engine. But Rage didn't sell well and, as has been the case with id titles in recent years, fell short in a number of key areas and generally felt like a game that was stuck in the past.
No checkpoint system, id? Really? And how about that ending!
The studio continues work (or do they?) on Doom 4, though they do so with fewer numbers after today's round of cuts.

In it's current, "Americanized" context: Social parasites. Usually fat, white Americans (with some exceptions) who, for whatever reason (unclear even to themselves), have chosen to become Japanese Nationalists based on their preconcieved notions of a non-existent Japanese utopia-- Notions which are developed from a lack of socialization and over-exposure to (mostly fantasy-oriented) Japanese animation (i.e., Anime, i.e., cartoons-- FROM JAPAN!)

Otaku is a person (typically male) who has absolutely no social life. Thus an otaku may sits around playing World of Warcraft, trading Dungeons and Dragons cards, watching Japanese animations, and jerking off while relishing pornographic material when he is alone. An otaku will be proud of, and will boast about his mighty forearm that developed over the many years of "over-masturbation".
Whilst leading a life of this sort, an Otaku will complain that no girls are willing to give him pussy.
WHYYYYY?????????????? Strange isn't it?

On Thursday, August 21, the Joffrey Ballet will live-stream a rehearsal of Christopher Wheeldon's Swan Lake. Wheeldon will be in attendance to coach the dancers, while Joffrey artistic director Ashley Wheater will host and conduct interviews with the dancers during rehearsal breaks.
Good news for our Joffrey Ballet-obsessed readers: You now have a chance to work alongside the Chicago company—on a full scholarship. The Joffrey Studio Company will launch with the 2014-15 season. Like most second companies, it will serve as a bridge between student and professional life. The 10 members, all of whom will receive full scholarships, will study alongside trainees and have opportunities to perform with the main company.
Story ballets are back. On Monday, when the Joffrey Ballet announced a $500,000 challenge grant from Chicago's Rudolf Nureyev Dance Foundation to develop new full-length narrative works, it felt like a tipping point. A company best known in recent decades for its abstract contemporary repertoire, the Joffrey's new grant steers it toward a different model, and signals that storytelling has returned to the creative mainstream.
Pointe invited James Fayette to write about the current lockout situation at the Joffrey Ballet from the perspective of the American Guild of Musical Artists, the union that represents dancers' employment. As a former New York City Ballet principal and with almost six years' experience negotiating and enforcing contracts as a dance executive at AGMA, he has a unique perspective on the dance world.
