Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease. It is high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs.
A person with PPH has extra muscle in the walls of these blood vessels. That extra muscle makes it more difficult for blood to flow through them. As a result, the right side of the heart has to work harder to push blood to the lungs. This additional strain can eventually lead to heart failure.
PPH is a serious condition. It requires care from your doctor.
The cause of PPH is unknown. Several factors may contribute to the development of the disease, including:
- Immune system disease
- Exposure to certain drugs or chemicals
- Genetic defects
Risk Factors
The following factors increase your chances of developing PPH:
- Female between the ages of 30 and 40
- Liver cirrhosis
- Portal hypertension
- HIV infection
- Family history of PPH
- Use of appetite suppressants—diet drugs (eg, fenfluramine)
- Cocaine use
Initial symptoms of PPH may be minor. They will get progressively worse. If you experience any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to PPH. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your doctor.
- Shortness of breath, especially when you are active or at rest
- Hyperventilation—abnormally rapid, deep breathing
- Fatigue—tiredness
- Progressive weakness
- Fainting spells
- Dizziness
- Coughing up blood
- Cyanosis—a bluish tint to the lips and skin
- Swelling of the legs and hands
- Chest pain
- Lack of appetite
- Cold hands and feet
- Low blood pressure
A physical exam by your doctor may show:
- Swelling of the veins in your neck
- Enlarged liver and swollen abdomen
- A heart murmur —an abnormal sound in the heart
Diagnosis of PPH may be delayed. It is hard to detect until symptoms worsen. Evaluation should take place at a medical center with expertise in PPH.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests—liver function, coagulation tests, test for HIV, autoantibody
- Blood gases to determine the oxygen status
- Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) —a test that records the heart's electrical activity
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body and can show if the heart is enlarged
- CT scan of the chest—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the chest
- Echocardiogram —a test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to examine the size, shape and motion of the heart
- Pulmonary function tests—non-invasive tests, like blowing into a tube, that measure how well your lungs are working
- Cardiac catheterization —to detect problems with the heart and its blood supply
- Pulmonary arteriogram—a type of x-ray to detect blood clots and other blockages
- Nuclear lung scan—a special camera takes pictures of the lungs, to look for blockages in the blood vessels
- Six minute walk to determine the amount of shortness of breath, an indirect measure of the severity of PHH
There is no cure for PPH. Treatment is used to help alleviate and control the symptoms. Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Calcium channel-blocking drugs ( Nifedipine , diltiazem , and amlodipine )—to relax the muscles in the blood vessels in the lungs
- Protacylin drugs ( epoprostenol , treprostinil ) and synthetic prostacylins ( iloprost , cisaprost)—to relax the muscles in the blood vessels in the lungs
- Digoxin —to improve the ability of the heart to pump blood
- Anticoagulants—to decrease the chance of blood clots in the lungs
- Diuretics—to reduce the amount of fluid in the body and in turn reduce strain on the heart
- Vasodilators—to help reduce blood pressure in the blood vessels in the lungs
- Endothelin receptor antagonists (Bosentan)—to relax muscles in blood vessels of lungs
- Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors ( sildenafil )—to relax muscles in blood vessels of lungs
Supplemental Oxygen
If breathing becomes difficult oxygen may be given. It may be given through a mask or tubes inserted into the nostrils.
Lung Transplant or Heart-Lung Transplant
Defective lungs and/or heart are replaced with donor organs. This option is used only in severe cases of PPH.

What do you think of merit-based pay for teachers?
I don't know if the question is still relevant, I haven't followed it until recently but I heard it was quiet a debate at the Presidential election and wanted to know what he TED community thought of this.
Is merit-based pay for teachers a good idea... There are a lot of pros and cons about the topic: Will it help the education of the students (the main goal of the would-be arrangement)? Will the amount of teachers have a positive boost? Will it make the teachers too competitive, lessening the cooperation between them?
Please write your ideas.
(English is not my first language so excuse the grammatical errors and easy language)

Nov 28 2012: Why? Maybe (actually quite likely, considering people can't even agree on a definition of teacher merit) assessing a teacher's merit is so difficult and error prone that it's more cost-effective to just pay all teachers the same wage. I mean it's basically as unfeasible and inefficient as the state planning your needs for you (communism), so you of all people should understand why it probably won't work.
@Fritzie below
Sure, that's not how it works in the US (which isn't the only country in the world: in much of Europe all teachers in the same country with the same longevity get paid the same, there are no "districts"), but that's not the point, the point is that it might be more cost-effective to not factor in some measure of merit.
Nov 28 2012: This reply is to John. In the United States teachers are not all paid the same wage. The wage is different in different districts, and two teachers teaching the same content/curriculum will not necessarily receive the same wage. Traditionally those who have taught longer in a district will be paid more than novice teachers, and those with more education either in the subject they teach or in education typically are paid more than those with less education for the same amount of k12 classroom experience. Longevity in the job counts a great deal more, usually, than academic preparation.
As an example, a high school teacher with a doctorate in physics who has taught secondary school for two years might be paid less than half of what a first grade teacher is paid with twenty years experience.
Pay is negotiated between the district and the labor union subject to a fixed amount of money allocated by the state for salaries.
I am not a specialist in school finance, but I believe this is typically how it works.
Beyond this, it is, perhaps, like the way nurses are paid. Historically they have been expected to do their best for each person in their care, while operating within the rules and with the materials that are authorized for their use. Just as nurses are not paid on the basis of the health of the patient, teachers have not traditionally been paid based on how successful the students are on standardized tests, though that is commonly part of the teacher's evaluation.
Nov 28 2012: Yup that is the common myth.
You first have to consider that public schools are subsidized by the government by the time the money is skimmed by multiple layers of beauracy a much smaller percentage makes its way to the school.
There was a video today on how traffic jams can be and are fixed by keeping the decision process of how to route traffic from the bottom up this makes a big difference. Point is that by keeping the decisions at the local level there would be increased efficiencies as the person who knows best how to use the resources are at the local level
So this money would remain at the local level.
If you privatize the whole education system the better schools are going to have better teachers. But the higher quality private schools would raise the tide for all schools. By pushing competition into the school system the entire system would improve. The good teachers would make more money and the level of all the education would be raised.
Nov 28 2012: Right, that's why a $200 Nike sneaker has 4 times the quality of another brand's $50 sneaker made in the same Chinese factory, also, a $2000 iMac is clearly twice as powerful as a $1000 PC with the same hardware, last but not least those $80.000 designer handbags clearly have 1000 times the quality of an $80 handbag made in the same Chinese factory.
Everyone knows convenience (location for example), marketing hype and prestige factor into any pricing system just as much as quality, well almost everyone.
Nov 28 2012: "that has no basis whatsoever in a measure of quality."
Only an thoroughly indoctrinated socialist could say that.
Please view the countries view over time
Nov 28 2012: I don't think that I can agree that privatizing the whole education system is a workable solution. I went to a good private school and count myself extremely lucky for the quality of education I received. I'm also a teacher (albeit a very new one).
The problem I have with the free market approach is that I don't see how it benefits those customers at the lower end of the socio-economic scale. Without the means to pay for a first-rate education, one must rely on inferior instruction, or possibly no education at all. Or if we decide that everyone must have an education and offer loans, we increase the amount of debt a student must acquire.
Even if we look at Charter Schools in the US (private schools working with their own charter within the public school system), the quality of the education is not guaranteed to be better than in a comparable public school. Overall, Charter School students test at a slightly lower rate than public school students (with some exceptions). Of course, Charter Schools are a hybrid model, so I realize it's not really free-market
Merit based pay is something I'd be in favor of as a teacher. But not only is "merit" problematic, so is the concept of assessment. Our current models of assessment tell us who is good at passing exams in bizarre and artificial circumstances and tell us nothing of what the student actually knows or understands. Come to that, we should probably come up with an agreed upon definition of intelligence.
To me, the problem is that we don't really know what we're educating people for. Public Education was founded in the US to create a citizenry who were educated enough to take part in democracy. then it was to instill a sense of citizenry, then to create educated workers, later business people, now to create college-ready students (that is, we are educating people to be able to be educated later). It may be time to rethink what education is for before we can discuss the merits of a teacher.
Nov 28 2012: The devil is in selecting the metric, as you state it is much harder than it appears.
Which is why I think the metric that will be the most closely scrutinized is known as the market price or economic equilibrium.
We have the opposite of this in Calif where the teachers are some of the highest paid in the country and the test scores are some of the lowest in the country. Even if they just taught to the test it would be an improvement. I guess you cannot legislate children into knowledge?
Nov 28 2012: That the market value would be more closely scrutinized I agree with. That this would produce better overall results I'm not convinced of. I suspect that it'd produce a small number of highly educated children and a much larger number of very poorly educated children.
I would also argue that you can legislate children into knowledge, as demonstrated by the fact that a vast majority of the public can now read. How much knowledge and should that knowledge be counted as understanding or subject mastery is up for debate.
Of course, I have strong biases. I'm not much of a free-market-is-the-answer kind of guy. I tend to believe that some things (health, education, public safety and so on) are more important that the whims of market forces. I DO think that teachers getting rewarded for excellent teaching is a decent idea, and I do feel that while the teaching unions in the US were founded for excellent reasons (to combat things like teachers being fired a week before they retired to stop them claiming their pension), they have become hugely problematic for all concerned. But an all out market force solution doesn't convince me.
But without a clear idea of what it is we want the schools to actually DO, I think any concept of merit based teaching is doomed.
Nov 28 2012: The fact that you would argue this point is duly noted, however you fail to make any arguments?
To put these preconceived notions in perspective please watch this video:
Nov 28 2012: I've seen it, it's a very interesting video.
I didn't make any arguments because I suspect the majority of the conversation would be ideological. And while that can certainly be informative and interesting, it's not likely to convince anyone to change their minds. For example - a lot of my reservations are based on a concept of "complete free market" as morally suspect, which is a position I realize not everyone agrees with. Some people believe that education is not a human right (it's not in the US constitution for example), and still others believe that you only need to educate the elite of a society (a view I find bizarre, but one that was presented to me in all seriousness during a graduate class.)
But you're right - there should be an argument to back up this gut feeling. The most cogent argument I could make in the space allowed might be to compare public education to public health. I grew up in the UK, moving to the US at age 31. If I examine the US healthcare system (which is currently about as close to fully privatized as I can imagine without removing the need to provide any healthcare at all to people without money), the statistics simply do not point to a free market leading to better service. The US has a pretty poor track record compared to other Westernized nations, and pays around double what the next country pays. I don't really see why we should expect fully privatized education to go the same way.
I do however understand that not everyone feels that comparing US healthcare (or indeed education) to other countries works well, because there are a number of unique factors present or absent in the US that make such direct translation necessary.
Almost every teacher I've ever met is left-leaning politically, which leads me to suspect that most teachers would have problems with full privatization. I don't expect to convince anyone who doesn't agree with me, so the best I can offer is the promise to treat the free-market view with respect.
Nov 28 2012: Healthcare in the U.S. is not really private. Medicare is a big factor on health care as it infuses the industry with cash. It is really a form of crony capitalism. As it has with housing and college education.
Additionally it is set up so the customer is not aware of prices and do not care what they are.
Is it any wonder that the students graduate with a liberal bent?
Here is a fun fact for the first 150 years the government did not interfere in economic matters at all. Thinking swiftly and using the scientific matter how about we go back to what worked before?
Before you say how terrible it was without the government realize that the U.S. has raised the standard of living of the world more than any other country in history and government had nothing to do with it quite the opposite. The history of the world is chalk full of exploiting people through the monopoly of government. The U.S. is the anomaly that has brought people up a notch by limiting government.
Nov 28 2012: Which is what I meant when I said this was going to be a largely ideological conversation, with little to no chance of changing anyone's mind.
I absolutely agree that Healthcare in the US is not really private. But it's about as privatized as I can imagine without removing the need to ensure everyone has access to at least basic emergency needs. But yes, it's a hybrid model that doesn't fit either of our models well.
It is, however, the most privatized system I can think of in that there is no equivalent of the National Health Service. (I'd point out that the UK also has private health insurance companies - though I'm bringing it up mostly because most people seem to see privatization as an either/or solution.) Public healthcare - to continue the tangent - is not a case of government monopoly exploiting the people. It is providing the services for those who cannot afford them.
And so it is with education - I wish public schools could offer the same quality of education as the very best private schools, but at least private schools' existence allows those with the means to educate their offspring while freeing up resources for those who cannot.
If we want to use the scientific method and return to the time when the government did not interfere with economic matters, first we'd need tome hard data that showed that as the unequivocal reason why life got so much better afterwards. That's a tall order. We would also have to explain why Canada currently has a higher standard of living than the US (well, last I checked - admittedly i'm citing a statistic that's almost a decade old)..
We appear to be using very different models of thinking when we examine the world around us. I highly doubt that I'll convince you of the overall benefits of nationalization of public services any more than I don't expect you to be able to convince me of the benign power of the invisible hand. And now I am out of space.
Nov 28 2012: I don's see how observing the obvious is a tall order, but maybe it is?
Canada has less government:
Have a nice day
Nov 28 2012: Because "obvious" doesn't mean the same thing as "true". One of the prime reasons we use the scientific method is to separate what we know to be true from what seems obvious to us.
So when we see a correlation between smaller government interference in the economic decisions of a country and anything else, we cannot simply state that it must be true that one caused the other without data to demonstrate WHY it did. To do otherwise is to commit the fallacy of causal correlation.
I do thank you for the updated statistic - I'll look into it deeper when I have more time. Either way, until we can agree on the causal connection between "small government" and "better education", it's not really going to convince me.
Nov 28 2012: Yup but the correlation is an excellent place to start doing something we of the enlightened persuasion like to think of as Looking. And of course you cannot assume that a correlation is not the cause either.
I think the best way to divine the truth out of these debates is something we of the enlightened persuasion like to call: do it work or don't it. So even without the benefit of an academics infinite ability to filter we can use what works. E.G. The case of Samual Pierpoint Langley verses the Wright brothers.
Nov 28 2012: Sixteen years ago, I was on the negotiating team for an urban school district. We were out to show the advantage to students if the teacher's union were to accept two things we really wanted.
Our top priority was building based hiring in which the principal with the advice of a building team could hire the best teachers he/she could get for openings in the building. This was to replace the former system (which may still be commonplace in this country) in which openings were filled, rather, by letting teachers choose jobs on the basis of seniority. In the old system, the building had to take the most senior person who wanted the job!
When we got our unions to accept this, it was considered a breakthrough contract for a district to achieve with a union. Buildingbased hiring replaced the seniority system.
The second thing we wanted was a merit pay plan. We put forward a metric in which a portion of teacher pay would be connected to the students' growth during the year. The key feature, though, was that we would look at merit in terms of the growth one would expect based on data for comparable students to those the teacher was teaching rather than students in the district at large. Some groups of students are much more challenging to teach than others, and the expected growth would be different.
Our idea was to compare across the district how much growth a teacher achieved relative to classes in the district with similar students and to reward the top x%. I cannot remember whether it was 10% or what.
We didn't get this for a couple of reasons I remember. One was that the union leaders felt they could not be sure that whatever metric we agreed to wouldn't be manipulated later so as not take into account the differential challenges in teaching different groups of students. The other issue was that teachers felt they were constrained from doing their best by district curriculum and instructional mandates.
Nov 28 2012: Ok Fritzie consider yourself asked.
This metric stuff is very tricky, I have beat over the head with stuff more than I care to admit, fortunately I have developed calluses.
I love the building based hiring idea.
The metric idea sound workable but in my experience people always figure out a way to game the system. But anything is better than the union and it's rules.
3 points on this subject.
Individuals flourish in small groups as with your building team.
Bottom up trumps top down always, but that does not mean you don't need a top it just has to stay the hell out of the way of the bottom. There is a management philosophy called Lean manufacturing which stems from Toyota that has been successful in implementing bottom up in government and the unions. It is so successful that it is dare I say exciting.
The only metric system I have seen work is 2 individual voluntarily exchanging with each other. Not to mention that exchange is the genesis of innovation.
Nov 28 2012: Well, we've gone from a debate to thinly veiled insults, so I'm not sure what use this conversation actually has at this point. When you start referring to yourself as "we of the enlightened persuasion", all I can do is reply as "we of the rational persuasion". That we don't agree doesn't make either of us stupid or ill educated.
Unless you can demonstrate WHY something works and HOW something works, "do it work or don't it" is indistinguishable from magical thinking. Yes, correlation does not rule out causation. I never argued that it did. I argued that if you want to make a point like that, correlation isn't enough. Until we agree that life WAS better FOR those reasons, it's not a solution we agree on. It's what we of the rational persuasion call "thinking".
Anyway, this is getting out of hand fast. The truth is, I do respect your point of view. I don't find it persuasive, but I admit that the reasons I don't find myself persuaded aren't reasons you share. It is, however, not universally recognized that complete privatization of education (or any social system) is to anyone's net benefit. That's not to say that that point of view is false. It's that it's not going to convince everyone, certainly not in the way you're presenting it.
And with that, I need to bow out. Long evening ahead of me.
Nov 28 2012: The problem I see with fully privatised education is that there will be a small percentage of the population that can't afford to pay enough to keep a school functioning. The bottom 5% cant afford the cheapest available school but aren't a big enough population to support a cheaper school. It may be an Australian thing due to population density. For example we have government subsidies to encourage doctors to set up practice in rural areas as there are many small town that aren't big enough to support a doctor on their own but the nearest town that is big enough is 200 miles away. If you're a farmer in some parts of AUS your nearest neighbour is 100 miles away.
Nov 28 2012: Check out Drive by Daniel Pink and Sway by... some 2 brothers (cant remember their names at the moment sry!). Anyway, both books discuss this exact concept. The issue is that your brain reacts differently to tasks when its rewarded monetarily than.. say.. because its something your driven to do.. and do well. MeritMonetary based reward systems bring out short-term motives in people. Im not saying theres no room for merit based systems.. but there are several sociological pitfalls that can occur unless planned for.
Nov 28 2012: you did not answer my question. but okay, lets reply to that.
recommending a book is a win. either the opponent will reject reading it for being too taxing, in this case you can claim victory. or he starts reading, then probably follow up on the references, research opposing arguments, etc, which takes from weeks to years. in this case the opponent disappears, so you win.
instead, you might present the findings here.
i know many "experiments" in which experimenters tried to test whether monetary gain is a good motivator. the very idea of testing seems strange in the light of the fact that we tested it for centuries and the results are marvelous. compare the life of anyone today to anyone 200 years back, and see the difference for yourself. so i see completely relevant how many evidence is stacked up on the other side, as long as it is less then a million. not to mention basic logic and introspection. everyone considers the payment when taking a new job. everyone moves to areas with higher average salary. people give the reason of higher salaries when choosing universities, etc. so come on!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning's online pass unlocks single-player content
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a single-player action-RPG, but that hasn't deterred publisher Electronic Arts from locking some of the game's content behind a single-use "online pass." Folks purchasing new copies of Big Huge Game's newest title will find their codes in their boxes, but folks procuring used copies will be in a different boat.
As noted by Destructoid, the "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Online Pass" unlocks the "House of Valor" faction quest, which includes "seven additional single-player quests."
Warner Bros. received some flak for locking Catwoman behind an online pass in last year's single-player Batman: Arkham City. Those without a new code would be able to buy her campaign for an additional $15. EA implemented "online pass" features in Mass Effect 2 as well, locking an extra character and additional missions behind a DLC pay wall.
It's likely (but not confirmed) that the "House of Valor" faction quest will also be available for purchase separately. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning comes out for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on February 7.

A well-known Parisian gilder enhances this eclectic universe with bronze finishing, black, silver or fine gold, to bronze, black, silver or fine gold finishing, to present high quality pieces in limited edition.
I, Aurore François, was born in 1980 in France, and spent my childhood in a small village in the north, discovering nature and dreaming in the fields. From this fulfillment, I developed an inquiring mind, full of imagination and always filled with wonder.
After two years studying foreign languages, I joined the Studio Berçot Paris. While in training, I exhibited my first creations for "Les Permeables" at Palais de Tokyo. Then I experienced with Karine Arabian, Guy Laroche and Corpus Christi design studios, in charge of accessories, jewelry, printed fabrics, and embroidery. I also worked as a graphic designer and as a photo stylist for fashion magazines… before launching my brand in January 2011, I received two fashion awards.
I draw my eclectic inspiration from Ross Lovegrove's pure design, Gaudi's organic architecture, Gustav Klimt's sensual art, and above all nature's perfection… My universe is the search of beauty in simplicity, this fascination with entwined threads and a liking for mixed contrasts. In my Parisian studio, I combine art, design and nature to create rock and chic handmade jewelry to make women sublime.

Maybe I'm slow on the upkeep when it comes to cool science toys, but have you heard of magnetic putty?
Mind blown.
What is this stuff? It looks as though it plopped out of a UFO and is slowly plotting to take over the human race. It bounces, it stretches, it does not work as a climbing rope.
I guess you can even charge the putty and it will become it's own magnet. All these extra putty functions come with a price tag. A little over 3 ounces of the stuff will run you roughly $15. Much more than the dollar putty I used to use on the funny section in the Sunday newspaper.

If you have accounts in OS X that the system stubbornly refuses to remove, there are some things you can try.
If you change the system language in OS X, some key directories such as the default home folder directories should show in the new language. If this does not happen there is a way to fix the problem.

2:Prot warrior veteran's primer: What's changed?
Blizzard have shaken warrior tanking up quite a bit this expansion, in previous tiers there was not a great deal of synergy between a prot warrior who could do his rotation flawlessly and one who was just pressing whichever button he though looked best, beyond keeping up a couple of taking debuffs and timing SW/LS/ER/SB there really wasn't much a tank could do to impact his survivability. That isn't true in MoP.; The new active mitigation model means the better you can perform your rotation, the more difficult it is to kill you.
Talents, Glyphs and specializations
Prime Glyphs are gone, Talent trees are gone. Glyphs are mostly unchanged and have reverted back to what we knew in WotLK, you get to choose 3 Major and 3 Minor glyphs, major glyphs tend to be mechanic changes, and can have significant effect on your play style, minor glyphs tend towards being purely cosmetic. A lot of what used to be Talents are now major glyphs. Specializations are what define you're play style, as a warrior you have the option of choosing either Arms, Fury or Protection. Choosing a specialization will grant you many new abilities. For tanking you really should choose to be specialized in Protection. Whilst the Talent trees are gone, we still have talents to choose from, some of these are old favourites, some are new. Every 15 levels you get to choose 1 talent form 3 options, and these choices are mutually exclusive; you can't skip the level 15 choice and pick two options from level 30. Talents are now exclusive to specializations, regardless of what specialization you choose you get the same selection of talents to choose from.
Stances no longer confer damage bonuses, and none of our abilities are now stance limited; You can execute in defensive stance, and it will hit for just as much as if you where in berserker stance. Stances mainly affect how you generate rage. In Battle Stance you will generate most of your rage from white swings. You will not gain any rage from damage taken, and your protection specialization Rage builders will not work. In Berserker Stance you gain half as much rage from white swings as you would in battle, but for ever 1% HP you take in damage you gain 1 rage, your protection specialization rage builders will not work in this stance either. In defensive stance, we gain no rage from white swings, no rage from damage taken, but our Rage builders do work., additionally we gain 25% damage reduction, 700% threat increase and generate 1 rage every 3 seconds whilst in combat, it is also the only stance in which your protection specialization Rage builders will work, for the vast majority of situations, there is almost no reason for tanking warriors to ever leave defensive stance.
Unlike previous tiers we no longer gain rage from damage taken; you can't stand in the fire for extra resources. You're rage income will be defined mainly by two factors: how well you can perform your rotation; and to a lesser extent how well geared you are. We also spend rage differently from previous expansion. It used to be the case that almost all our abilities cost rage. And we used either HS or cleave to burn off excess rage as increased DPS. In MoP most of our rotational abilities are free, and whilst HS and Cleave can still be used to burn excess rage, the vast majority of our rage will be used to keep up defensive buffs.
Spell Changes
- Shield Slam: Generates 20 Rage, No longer dispels (restored via a major glyph).
- Revenge: Generates 20 Rage, Hits 3 targets, 9 second cooldown. No longer only usable after a dodge, block, or parry. Instead Dodges and Parries refresh it's CD, no longer can proc SnB. each additional target will take 50% reduced damage.
- Sword and Board: Grants Devastate a 30% chance on hit to reset the CD of SS and increase the rage generated by your next SS to 25 rage.
- Thunder Clap: No longer slows melee attack speed by 20% (that buff no longer exists in game) instead applies the "Weakened Blows" Debuff, decreasing the physical damage dealt by 10%
- Demoralizing Shout: no longer decreases physical damage dealt by 10%. its now our minor defensive CD; 1 minute CD, decreases damage done by all enemies with 10 yards to us (just us) by 20%
- Deep Wounds: no longer procs off crits, or deals weapon based damage, its now just a DoT that's applied by Devastate and Thunderclap, no longer rolls.
- Shield Block: no longer a minor CD, increases your chance to block by 100% (no longer just 25%) costs 60 rage, this is going to be your main Rage dump. Lasts 6 seconds, has a 9 second CD, has 2 charges.
- Recklessness: No longer increases damage taken
- Ultimatum: we have a 100% chance to on Shield Slam crit to make our next HS or Cleave Auot-Crit andcost no rage.
- Vengeance: Now is 1.5% of the unmitigated physical damage taken, or 5% of spell damage taken, caps at your maximum health
- Defensive Stance: Now decreases all damage taken by 25%, and grants some passive rage gen. Threat Bonus is up to 700% damage done
- Pummel: now like almost every other Interrupt has a 15 second CD
Vengeance has undergone a number of changes in 5.4; its now only 1.5% of the bosses pre-mitigated damage, i.e. the damage value of his attacks before your active or passive damage reductions affect that number, its not affected by absorbs or cds or any of the stuff you do to stop yourself dying. 5.4 eliminated Vengeance gains from Persistent ground effects, so you're not going to get a DPS boost from standing in the fire, it also eliminated extra Vengeance gains from being crit, so there's really no excuse to sit down and take a crit now. Additionally there are Diminishing Returns on vengeance whilst tanking multiple mobs, Lore was kind enough to post a succint Explanation of how this multimob DR works;
The basic, concise explanation is as follows: The Nth strongest (based on pre-mitigation average auto attack DPS) mob that has hit you in the last 5 seconds grants 1/Nth of full vengeance with their attacks. N is recalculated on every hit taken.
So here's an example. Say you're tanking 3 mobs – we'll say it's a boss and two adds. The boss has pre-mitigation average auto attack DPS of 1500k, one add does 400k, and the other add does 300k. The game will form a list of those mobs from 1-3, like so:
1. Boss: 1500k DPS, 1/1 (100%) of normal vengeance is granted
2. First add: 400k DPS, 1/2 (50%) of normal vengeance is granted
3. Second add: 300k DPS, 1/3 (33.333%, repeating of course) of normal vengeance is granted
This would of course continue as more mobs are being tanked (granting 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, and so on). Also, if the second add were to land a hit at any point when the first add hasn't attacked you in the last 5sec (such as if it swings first), that attack would grant 1/2 Vengeance instead of 1/3.
I've just got back from cataclysm What does this actually mean?
As far as rotation and priorities go not a lot has actually changed. You still want to be using Thunderclap to keep up the tanking debuff, and you still mainly want to stick to the old SnB based SS>Rev>Dev rotation. However instead of dumping excess rage into HS or cleave you want to try to keep SB up and dump excess rage with SBlock on physical fights, and exclusively dump with Sbar on magic fights. If you used to weave Shockwave/Concussion Blow in or keep Rend up, forget about it, they either don't exist, or aren't worth it. Rage is going to be very limited for a while, get used to timing your rage dumps.

Publication: theday.com
New London — Police on Thursday arrested a local man on numerous weapon charges after they developed information that he was in possession of a handgun and may have been involved in a shooting a few days earlier.
Maurice Milligan, 34, of 500 Ocean Ave. was charged with criminal possession of body armor, criminal possession of a handgun, possession of a firearm with altered serial number, weapon in motor vehicle and carrying a pistol without a permit.
Police said a shooting was reported about 11:35 p.m. on Monday in the area of Ocean Avenue and Evergreen Street. Officers found several 9 mm shelling casings at the scene, according to an incident report.
A review of surveillance video from the Sam's convenience store showed Milligan and an unknown male exchanging some words before the reported shooting. Police said that Milligan was seen walking in the backyard of 54 Sherman St. with an object in his hands a few seconds after the shooting, the incident report said.
While on patrol Thursday, police spotted Milligan and his friend Travis Gee in a black Nissan. The patrol officer requested additional units since police said the pair may have been involved in the shooting.
The officer pulled over the vehicle in the area of the 7-Eleven on Broad Street when Milligan began to exit the vehicle. The officer instructed Milligan to get back inside the car. As the officer waited for backup, Milligan again attempted to get out of the car, police said. Moments later, backup arrived and the officers approached the vehicle.
Police informed both Milligan and Gee that they believed they were involved in Monday's shooting. Police asked Milligan if he was in possession of a gun, which he denied. When police asked Milligan to step out of the car, he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Police found a Glock 9 mm handgun underneath the front driver's seat.
Milligan told police that he did not know the gun was in the car and could not say why he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Police said more charges may be pending.
Milligan has been convicted in recent years of possession of less than 4 ounces of marijuana, breach of peace and interfering with an officer.
He was held in lieu of a $500,000 bond pending his arraignment Friday in New London Superior Court.

Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal condition caused by a change in the balance of bacteria that normally live in the vagina. Although its "fishy" smell and thin, grayish white vaginal discharge are only bothersome for some women, bacterial vaginosis has been linked to pregnancy complications and to infection after a pelvic surgery or procedure.
About half of women with bacterial vaginosis have no symptoms. Women who notice symptoms report that symptoms tend to be worse after sex and following a menstrual period.
Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotic medicine taken by mouth or with a medicated cream, gel, or ovules that are put inside the vagina. Treating male sex partners of affected women is not necessary or effective.

In our previous adventures of the Kuharski Family (cue the super hero music) I've told you about my wife's grandpa and his visits. Well, G-G lives with us now! And the arrangement is working awesome, praise GOD! He's already helped me with little projects around the house and he's plays with the kids and read books to them. Considering where he was a couple of months ago, alone many days at a senior apartment complex (family tried as hard as they could to see him regularly, but there were days where he was alone for several hours), to being with us, where there is activity and kids and adults 24/7.
Another benefit from having a WWII veteran and member of the Greatest Generation in the house? He's a heck of a history teacher. I walked in to the house from a day at work to see my oldest son Caleb working with G-G on his history class work. Yup, very cool

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes. For example, psychology is concerned with the way we behave as individuals as well as in groups; it is concerned with the way we act as well as the way we think; and it is concerned with our interaction with the physical world as well as our interaction with others.
Psychology is both a profession and a science. That is, psychological phenomena are investigated using the scientific method; and the outcomes of these investigations are applied to diverse professional settings (eg. treatment of mental illness, job selection, health promotion, education policy, etc.).
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
First year
You will take 2 junior psychology units which are compulsory for a psychology major, one in each semester. Both units are an introduction to the various sub-disciplines in psychology, such as personality theory, neuroscience, basic statistics and measurement, social psychology, applied psychology, abnormal psychology, cognitive processes, human development, learning and motivation, perception and mental abilities.
Second year
?You will take four compulsory intermediate psychology units for a psychology major. They cover brain and behaviour, statistics and research methods, cognitive, developmental and social psychology, and personality and intelligence.??
Third year
To complete your psychology major, you need to take at least four (five for the Bachelor of Psychology) senior psychology units. The abnormal psychology unit is compulsory for the major, and the advanced statistics for psychology unit is necessary if you wish to apply for honours. You are able to choose your other senior psychology units, depending on pre-requisites.
Example units
Learning and Behaviour
Social Psychology
Personality and Intelligence
Behavioural and Cognitive Neuroscience
Statistics and Research Methods for Psychology
Course accreditation
Accreditation of psychology courses in Australia is overseen by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
Full registration as a professional psychologist is achieved through the Psychology Board of Australia. The current requirements for registration as a psychologist in Australia are that you complete an ACCREDITED 4-year program in psychology and then either:
a) complete an accredited 2-3 year postgraduate course; or
b) complete an accredited 1 year postgraduate course plus 1 year Board approved internship; or
c) complete a two year Board approved internship.
These conditions may be revised in the future.
At Sydney, while it is possible to study a major in psychology in a large range of courses, only some courses have been accredited.
The courses at The University of Sydney that have APAC accreditation are:
Bachelor of Psychology
Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science (Honours)
All degrees that are combined with the Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Science (Advanced), Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours)
All degrees that are combined with the Bachelor of Science (Advanced)
Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts (Honours)
Bachelor of Health Sciences (Psychology Major) followed by a Psychology Honours year
Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies), Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) (Honours)
Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science, Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science (Honours) (provisional until students graduate from program)
Graduate Diploma in Psychology (GDP)
Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) (provisional until students graduate from program)
All degrees that are combined with the Bachelor of Medical Science
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)*
Bachelor of Arts and Sciences*, Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (Honours)*
Bachelor of Liberal Studies*, Bachelor of Liberal Studies (Honours)*
Bachelor of Economics (Social Science)*, Bachelor of Economics (Social Science) (Honours)*
Bachelor of Science and Technology*, Bachelor of Science and Technology (Honours)*
* Accredited but do not appear on the APAC website as they are being 'taught out' (no new enrolments).
Students should be aware that all other courses where a psychology major is possible are NOT accredited.
If you think that you might wish to major in psychology and then (at any time) complete a fourth year (e.g., with the intention of becoming a registered psychologist) and your course is not one of the above then you need to consult an advisor to discuss changing courses.
School advisor: Dr Fiona Hibberd (email@example.com)
Faculty advisors: Please contact your Faculty office
The psychology profession is represented nationally by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and membership eligibility depends on level of qualifications.
Graduate opportunities
While three years of study in psychology is insufficient for registration as a psychologist, it does open the door to many interesting careers such as advertising, market research, marketing, public relations, science journalism and public policy, plus a range of graduate positions in major industries such as banking, management consulting and telecommunications. The three-year courses also prepare you for entry into graduate programs in coaching psychology. These graduate programs are not designed to lead to registration as a psychologist, but they provide excellent exposure to advanced knowledge and skills needed in the employment market.
As well as achieving the basis for registration, fourth year graduates in psychology have the necessary training to obtain work in areas such as schools, hospitals, prisons, human resources, developmental disabilities and various social policy areas in the private and public sectors. Registered psychologists are in high demand. These qualifications are required for entry into all professional psychology programs, such as postgraduate clinical training programs, which will qualify you to become a clinical psychologist. They also form the ideal base to pursue graduate research programs such as the PhD.
Watch psychology graduate, Amanda Green, talk about her career as a clinical psychologist and how she got there.

AccesoryFest 2010: The Hat Edition
I did say that I've been busy knitting, did I not? Let's start with a major stashbust of winter accessories. I love knitting hats. That much is abundantly clear, is it not? I rarely make hats for members of my household because we have so many already. However, Beatrix outgrew her hat from last year so of course, she needed a new one.
I whipped up a child size Min Ulla because I wanted to have made all four versions of the hat by the end of the winter. This is Version C.
I love the 8-point star decrease, don't you? I would use it in every hat if I could.
Mr. Frick, of Fricknits fame, received Version B of Min Ulla. When visiting the crafty Frick household a few weeks ago, I learned that Mr. Frick needed a warmer hat for his commute.
What an excellent excuse to make another one of these!
Better yet, the hat arrived in the DC Metro area with two feet of snow for the true Nordic experience! I hope it comes in handy during the great snowmageddon of 2010.
Pattern: Min Ulla Hat, Versions C and B (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca in Cardinal and Winter White for Beatrix, Turquoise Mix and Winter White for Mr. Frick
Needles: US 6 (4 mm)
Kirsten Kapur published her Wood Hollow hat and mitten pattern just days before a dear friend lamented her inability to find a decent winter cap. I promised mittens too, but they will need to wait until spring because I'm back in the throes of deadline knitting until then.
Pattern: Wood Hollow Hat (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Harrisville Designs New England Highland in Midnight Blue
Needles: US 6 (4 mm)
Finally, I dropped some unexciting, stashbusting hats in the mail to add to Liz's campaign for kids in Nepal.
And that was just hats! Just wait until I tell you about the mittens! I will have two new mitten patterns for you this week. I will publish them as soon as I've made the final revisions to my drafts and cleaned up the tutorial photos.
Stay tuned!

Lovely hats – so nice for this time of year.
I've been reading and enjoying your blog for several months now… just coming out of the woodwork to say I'm looking forward to your new mitten patterns :)
Your little daughter is so adorable! What a sweetheart to show us her new hat!
Such wonderful hats.
I am sorely tempted to buy all of those patterns now.
Wow – I'm completely inspired! Love those cabled hats!
Ah, so version D is the only remaining one? I love seeing all the different versions of this in one place.
The hats are darling. There is something so gratifying about knitting a hat: it's quick, and virtually guaranteed to be worn.
Love the hats — and the bonus stashbusting always feels soo good!

Juilliard jazz: Local students work closely with musicians at summer camp
Faculty members from the Juilliard School worked and played in a jazz camp earlier this month with about 50 teens ages 13 to 18 from the CSRA and in other states as far away as Texas.
For the past four years, the Juilliard in Aiken organization has hosted a large festival each March, concerts and outreach efforts for schools.
However, this is the first time the Juilliard in Aiken group has hosted a jazz camp, said Connie Young, vice president. The event culminated Friday night with a concert.

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood Staff
After years of stereo seranades, self-defining skiing competitions, Top 5 lists, and the loving of dogs, John Cusack seems to have finally gone off the deep end. His character Emerson is falling to pieces - as far as we can tell from the below exclusive featurette from the new thriller The Numbers Station - thanks to a career in the high-stakes, morally grey black ops game. However, it's nothing a rural getaway can't fix! ... Though this particular countryside respite does involve a new life-or-death case for Emerson. Not exactly your Caribbean cruise.
The featurette introduces viewers to Emerson's character and the dark, action- and drama-laden film itself, with Cusack and producer Sean Furst detailing the depths to which this brooding story travels. Check out the video, and catch The Numbers Station, also starring Malin Akerman, in theaters Apr. 26.

Starting in November of 2009 I began a total transformation going from around 270 pounds down to 189 by the Summer of 2011. My goal was my College Football playing weight (195)....but was thrilled when I actually nailed my HIGH SCHOOL playing weight of 189!!
Yes, it was a struggle because you have to TOTALLY change how you look at things like exercise and fitness, diet and even WHEN to eat. I worked with a Personal Trainer and have been in great shape for over two years now.
But what I really learned...was how much money I was saving by bringing my own meals to work for lunch and for snacks. It's staggering!!!
Not to mention the calorie savings!
Today's Lunch:
3/4 Cup Lentils = 170 calories
5 ounces Chicken = 120 calories
1 Cup steamed Green Beans = 60 calories
Total Calories = 350 Total Cost = $1.25
Here's the average cost for someone who eats lunch on the town say....three days a week:
Cost daily (with tip) = $7.00
Three times a week - $21.00
4 weeks a month = $84.00
52 weeks a year = $1,092
Your call.....

An Oakland woman says she's one of the patients intentionally misdiagnosed by Dr. Farid Fata, a Mich. cancer specialist arrested by the feds last month.Patty Hester says she remembers exactly how Dr. Fata told her she had Myelodysplastic syndrome, a disease in which the bone marrow does not make enough healthy blood cells. It's known as a precursor to Leukemia with no known cure.Hester says Dr. Fata pressured her to undergo a more costly and invasive form of treatment all while reminding her that MDS could lead to an early grave. "He said, 'you know, if you don't die from leukemia, you're going to die from a secondary infection because you have MDS and there's no cure unless you start doing something to get a bone marrow transplant,'" said Hester.A transplant was exactly what Hester planned on having until the FBI raided Fata's offices last month and charged the 48-year-old with fraud, accusing him of deliberately misdiagnosing patients and ordering chemotherapy for others who were in remission or had no chance of surviving, all to reap millions from the Medicare program.Hester says she found another oncologist, who told her she was misdiagnosed and did not suffer from MDS. "I was excited, but then this anger, this rage came over me. I was so mad," said Hester. "How could you do that to anyone? And my family?"Hester has hired several attorneys, who plan to file a civil lawsuit against Fata.Fata, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, is being held at the Wayne County jail on a $9 million bond.

Pets Are Expensive
Some animals are more costly than others.

I found out recently that my dog needed a tooth extraction. Luckily he's been on pet insurance since he was a puppy and we've done regular vet checks and kept up with their recommendations for healthy teeth so the pet insurance will cover the majority of the procedure.
Some people are diligent enough to save money and put it away for emergencies like this, however I like the security of knowing I have pet insurance for these occasions. I still save for his food, shots, and annual check-up costs.

There are several online or catalog companies who give discounts when you purchase supplies in bulk, so I try to do that whenever possible. If you're lucky and your pet is healthy, the first year of medical costs is usually the highest and it's maintenance from there. My biggest cost involved buying all the grooming supplies I needed for our Collie pup, but now that I have them, it's not so bad as I won't need to replace them for several years, if ever. At this point, the first year of medical expenses is over,and his grooming stuff is all purchased (along with his crate, leash, collar, etc., etc.) so the biggest expense is probably food. I don't skimp on that, but I do use a frequent buyer program where the 10th bag is free.
Get Pet Insurance! I love PetFirstHealth Pet Insurance! They rock! It really does save you on vet visits and illnesses AND... routine care such as vaccinations, heartworm preventative, and flea control. Go to www.petfirsthealth.com and see for yourself!!

I work at an animal hospital and see the impact our economy has on every pet parent that walks through our doors. It is extremely heart-wrenching to turn caring people away when their pet is in need of annual vaccinations or emergency surgery. Pet insurance is great and so are credit cards such as www.carecredit.com and www.citicards.com/cards - if one is eligible and can afford such gifts. It is true that pets are expensive; however, the benefits outweigh the costs anyday. I only hope our economy improves soon for the sake of all the pets out there who desperately need to be seen by a professional.

I keep costs down by doing the best I can to keep my dog healthy. I feed her home prepared food, appropriately balanced and supplemented -- while that is more expensive than kibble, I figure the trade off is a worthwhile investment toward her health. I make sure she gets plenty of exercise daily. I am a believer in preventative care -- I groom her daily and check her over for any minor injuries, lumps, bumps or fleas and ticks, and deal with those right away. I brush her teeth daily using a Vitamin C solution (see Dr. Pitcairn's website for details on how to make it). I no longer splurge on fancy dog shampoo -- I bathe her with plain mild soap and use a very light white vinegar rinse. No fancy toys -- a knotted sock is fine. No fancy dog bed, I've made a pillow slipcover from an old towel that comes off for washing. No fancy collars or leashes, just plain and simple from the discount store. No more fancy chews, a raw carrot works fine.

Food is an issue these days, for both people and animal alike. Scour your local pet stores for sales. I recently scored a 40 lb bag of Merrick BG buffalo at half price, so I picked up all they had (checking the expiration dates of course). Feed a high quality food. Most people don't realize that their dog (or pet of choice) will eat less of a good food than a regular grocery store brand. Animals instinctively know their limits and what's good for them. You might pay more for a high quality brand at the start, but it will last longer, and cause fewer vet visits, than the cheaper brands that are chock full of fillers. Prevention is the best medicine! Get your pet on a rotation in case one food is less expensive than another. Buying fresh chicken in bulk for a treat is cheaper than buying treats in bags. Carrots make an excellent goodie and cost much less! Don't fall for marketing. A pretty package doesn't always mean a good food/treat. And don't even get me started on toys! Your dog doesn't know Easter from Christmas! Buy them out of season and rotate them throughout the year.

First, by keeping them healthy, proper food, nutrition and exercise. I've also found a secret, it's a website for dogs, like a woot.com, for dogs. Things are usually 45-50% off what they normally retail for. They say they go up to 80% off, but I haven't seen that yet. It's www.barkworthybargains.com. Also, I've had to cut back on doggy day care, and am doing a lot more hiking with my dogs, which is great for both of us. When I travel, I take my pets with me, so I don't have to pay boarding fees.
Tiger and I used to take agility classes but simply cannot continue due to finances. My answer: I bought a hula-hoop ($1.29)
Some ways to save money are to buy food in bulk, and shop at discount stores, or Dollar Stores.
Places like Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Costco, Sams Club, Ross are all great places to find dog supplies at a discounted price.
Dollar Stores also have bowls, toys, and leashes and collars that are, what else, $1, and believe it or not, most are quality products.

Sign up for a PetCo PALS card, or sign up for coupons from PetSmart.
More expensive/larger supplies such as crates can often be found used on Craigs List, just make sure the items you get are well-cleaned and have not been exposed to anything that could harm your pet.
Also, for doggie sweaters, I've recycled my own old sweaters, getting creative with it. This is a fun activity and a great gift idea too, since each sweater is handmade and unique!

"I've always loved vessels & pots and I was lucky enough to study ceramics at Alfred University, College of Ceramics, in upstate New York. But I fell in love with metal after finishing school." —Babette Holland
The material used to build their fixtures are made from aluminum and is handspun — think of throwing a pot, sideways, and the motion of spinning resembles a slow rocking dance. The shapes are so complex they can only be made one piece at a time, by hand, and by a master spinner.
They are finished with wonderful, rich colors with great depth and yet, these are two elements that you haven't seen together before. The new finishes are tints that have been developed in house and are made to have the depth and multi—color look and shimmer of dupioni silk. The color radiates from all angles and light affects it so beautifully.
Babette Holland Design is a husband—wife partnership in design and manufacturing. Tony Brown, Babette Holland and BHD have been in business for eleven years. Their two dogs, Bella and Nanoo, (the President and Vice-President of BHD) all go to work together every day to make beautiful, functional American-made products.See other lights/products from Babette Holland

So quick question. So after not fasting for over a year and a half because of pregnancy and nursing I'm having a really hard time getting back into it.
I started fasting this evening and it is really hard for me (well not yet, but by tomorrow morning it will be awful). I don't know if it is psychological because I've been telling myself I need the food for my baby for so long or what, but I have a really hard time with it. I don't think I have made it anywhere near 24 hours since I stopped nursing a three months ago.
Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me? I really try, but I feel so sick after a certain point. I don't know if any of this makes sense, but any input would be appreciated.

The news that the creatively titled Steve Jobs biopic Jobs is going to debut at the Sundance Film Festival this January was overshadowed by only one thing: how crazy Ashton Kutcher looks in the one press photo the movie has released.
Is it the dad jeans, the Gold Toe socks, the beard that isn't quite grown in, the way that he's holding his spectacles in a fashion that is so incredibly posed but is supposed to look natural like the glasses are forced into an action figure's kung-fu grip. Is it all of those things? Is it that we feel like we're watching That '70s Show all over again, but now everyone is older and inappropriate? Is it that way that Ashton is looking into our eyes with that twinkle that says he knows something we don't and he's going to make us do something against our will (like watch this movie or go out to a van with no windows and close the door behind us)?
Ashton certain looks a lot better than Apple founder Jobs did in the original famous picture (before he started wearing his trademark mock turtleneck uniform), but he also has something a bit more sinister. What is that? I think it's hunger. Oscar hunger.

February, a rescue cat that calls the K&B Candy Store home on the Upper East Side, loves people, but apparently hates dogs.
February is making life miserable for the customers of a doggie day care located two doors down from the K&B at 1107 First Ave, near 61st St.
"She thinks she owns the block so she sometimes sits in the middle of the block and won't let dogs pass," Joshua Stine, who owns Running Paws. "The (ones) that aren't quick enough get a fist full of claws."
Running Paws offers dogs grooming, a day spa and manners classes. A sign on the candy store door reads: 'Please No Pets In The Store.'
Customers say the oversized-feline is actually a very nice cat.
