A free-form list of thoughts. These are not necessarily suggestions for allacrost; some are lessons learned from it, some aren't, and some just aren't applicable. I'm not trying to go on a rag here and suggest we change course. I'll append to this whenever I feel like it.
- I would definitely do what diablo 3 looks to be doing with their map system. I'm not certain how it works, but my interpretation is that Diablo 3 has a number of what amount to sub-levels. They're little square-shaped levels, maybe about the size of our current town or cave level. These individual sub-levels are hand-made, but they have a set of various standardized entrances/exits that is much smaller than the number of sub-levels. The sub-levels are then randomly arranged together in any way such that the entrances/exits still fit.
It has the best of both worlds; because it's macroscopically randomly put together, it gives a huge 'shot in the arm' for replay value. But at the same time, because it's microscopically hand-made, it doesn't suffer from the usual artificiality that "random map generators" so often suffer from. It does lack the upside of "not having to design levels" that random map generators would provide, but at the same time, random map generators themselves first have to be written, and it does considerable time to write one that doesn't suck.
- I would probably do what zelda: ALttP did to prevent potion spam. Zelda had a 4 potion max, and thus capped the influence they can have on a fight. At absolute most, they dilate your health by 400%. Unlike typical RPGs where long boss fights are about "keeping the party alive, and relying on a more or less constant subtraction of health from the baddies till they keel over". Typical RPGs such as chrono trigger can effectively boost your party's HP used in a battle by about 10,000%.
I also thought it was really, really clever for Zelda to allow having different items in the bottles. Choosing what you put in the bottle was a fun game mechanic, because they each had very different effects you had to choose between. Also being able to actually scoop water into the bottle, and pour it out on something, was a brilliant and fun thing in Minish Cap (a pity it was more of a gimmick than a core game mechanic). Water in a jar could be used for so many puzzles. Hell, it could even be used for combat (as either a water-spell reagent, or as a literal weapon against fiery/hydrophobic enemies, such as dousing and short-circuiting a robot). It probably could be workable in combat if it was truly as easy to replenish as it was in zelda (simply find any water and scoop it up).
- In recent builds of D3, they appear to have reverted to what old-school games like zelda did with gold, and health. To grab (gold and health) items, you just walk over them. Clicking on each individual bit of gold sucked in D2. A very similar issue happens with TB-RPGs; chrono trigger did it right (you automatically just -get- all the loot, no grabbing required). Curiously; another game that was otherwise excellent; the avernum/exile series did it wrong early on, in that you had to actually grab all of it. They quickly moved to an "auto-grab-all-gold" key, but the fundamental design still griefed when you had to micro all sorts of other equipment, and stayed that way across the rest of the series.

WAYNESVILLE, OHIO: An Ohio landlord charged with whipping an adult tenant with a belt on his buttocks for falling behind on his rent has been accused of whipping another man with a belt and a paddle, according to court records obtained Friday.
In a lawsuit filed in southwestern Ohio�s Warren County on Tuesday, Mark Neace accuses Ronald Kronenberger of spanking him on four separate occasions while Neace worked as a volunteer in Kronenberger�s grocery store in Waynesville.
The lawsuit, which describes Neace as mentally disabled, says the whippings caused him �severe emotional distress.�
Kronenberger�s home phone number does not accept messages and the number at his grocery store in Waynesville rang busy Friday.
His Dayton attorney, Lawrence Greger, declined to comment.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, but Neace�s attorney said he thinks it�s worth up to $100,000.
�This guy cried in my office,� attorney Eric Deters said. �People with a disability like this have an innocence about them and that innocence being shattered is really sad.�
Deters said Neace, who is 56 and lives with his mother, wanted to volunteer at the grocery store because he�s social and everyone in town knows him.
No police reports have been filed stemming from the incidents, but Deters said he forwarded information about the case to the county prosecutor�s office to consider whether criminal charges are appropriate.
In January, the 53-year-old Kronenberger was charged with hitting a former 29-year-old tenant on the buttocks with a belt in a dispute over more than $2,000 in overdue rent.
A magistrate said he would dismiss an assault charge against Kronenberger in six months if he stayed away from the tenant and out of trouble, but that he would face conviction if he violates the order.
Kronenberger is a former chamber of commerce president and was named Waynesville�s Citizen of the Year in 2006.

Despite the innate strangeness of robotic babies, researchers keep dang-darn building them. The latest entrant in the Uncanny Valley Sweepstakes is iCub, a robot that had previously demonstrated its proficiency with a bow and arrow.
Now iCub's masters are demonstrating this learning robot's capacity to crawl around with a massive umbilical cord/power strip lodged to its back. This is bit of a bizarre step back for iCub, given that his creators were grooming him to carry the Olympic torch.

The evil of two lessers
Writer's note: This was originally published in the Oct. 30, 2008 edition of the Stigler (Okla.) News Sentinel.
By Bryan M. Richter
I dread this time of year.
All the childishness, masks, pranks, noise and running around, saying "I want, I want."
And then there are the trick-or-treaters.
Eight years ago, while working for a small community newspaper in Tulsa, I wrote an editorial lamenting how the national candidates were so similar that the two-party system had morphed into some odd single conglomerate. I had quoted Kurt Vonnegut who said we no longer had a Republican party and a Democratic party, but instead is now two corporate wings of one party.
The punch line of my editorial was to vote — even if it were for a third-party candidate.
"It's not throwing your vote away," I wrote. "The vote that's thrown away is the vote that's not cast."
I normally don't write. My job here is to compose ads and make this paper look pretty.
Today, however, I break my eight-year silence.
Here is my endorsement for president of the United States:
Oh, I will vote. We have state and congressional offices to consider. I know how to vote on the state questions. I'll even vote on which judges to retain.
But I am leaving the presidential slot blank.
I vote neither.
We received a sample ballot at the newspaper office for a story on the state questions.
There were the two names on the ballot under "President."
That's right, two: Tweedledum and Tweedledumber.
No third-party name, no independent name.
I commented, out loud, in the office, "I'm leaving this part blank."
The response I got from a co-worker was, "Then you shouldn't complain afterward."
"I'm complaining now!" I shot back.
The national media — network, cable, public and otherwise — have touted this as "the most important election in recent memory."
And these are the candidates the two major parties have given us?
Carbon aided
I used to work for a local grocery store chain. I once asked why Coke and Pepsi got so much shelf space and were placed at eye level, while RC always got shoved to the bottom.
Paid placement, I was told. Coke and Pepsi pay stores to strategically place their products so that more customers will see them.
I also used to work in television. It used to be that in TV ads you never mentioned a competitor's product by name. Coke and Pepsi changed that back in the 1980s. It didn't matter who was No. 1 and who was No. 2 in the soft drink market — just so that they were No. 1 and No. 2.
I quit drinking Coke and Pepsi because I learned of the dangers of high-fructose corn syrup, the main ingredient in most soft drinks. If I want a soda, I look for Jones Cola, because it's made with sugar, not corn syrup. Jones Cola actually tastes like the old Coke — before Coke monkeyed with the formula.
And here we are now, in Oklahoma, having to choose between Coke and Pepsi.
Where is my Jones Cola?
Sugar-free, caffeine-free, issue-free
Funny how the major parties market their national candidates the same way the soft drinks do.
And funny how it was a bipartisan effort — the McCain-Feingold Act, named after a Republican and a Democratic senator — which affected getting the word out about candidates.
Why is it that after this campaign finance reform was enacted, we actually have more ads from the Republican and Democratic candidates? And, just like Coke and Pepsi, they are competitive, ours-is-better-than-theirs ads? But we have no ads from the other parties and independents?
Limit the money, limit the speech.
This is reform?
We did not pick these two candidates to run for president. The media picked them for us. The big corporate media packaged these two candidates through issue-light, sound bite-fortified, processed nuggets on their pseudo-journalistic Pez dispensers masquerading as news programs.
Paddy Chayefsky was a genius
The media picked Sen. Obama partly because of Clinton fatigue — Hillary or Bill, pick one — and partly because he was against the war in Iraq from day one — or so he says. Obama was a state senator in Illinois when the war started. Last I checked, state senators have no say on war resolutions, so how do we really know he was against going over there?
Obama speaks in platitudes and rhetoric, not substance. He says he's for change. He says Washington is broken and needs fixing, but he doesn't say how he'll do it. Throw in the haircut, big ears and all the money he's raised, and he's a black Ross Perot. That frightens me.
The media picked Sen. McCain because they felt sorry for him. They still feel he was jobbed by then-Gov. Bush in the 2000 campaign, so they felt it necessary to throw the old man a bone. The problem is that the McCain of 2000 is not running this time. This is not the maverick McCain of 2000 who said he was going to change Washington. This McCain of 2008 has voted with the current administration "90 percent of the time" — his words.
McCain today reminds me of the Howard Beale character from the movie "Network." Once respected, he suffers a setback, goes off the deep end, and rants like a madman. The public once liked him because he told it like it was. He has since changed his message, and the people quickly tired of him. He's no longer a mad prophet; he's just mad. That frightens me.
Well, to paraphrase Howard Beale, I'm as mad as heck, and I'm not going to take this anymore.
Until the system changes so that we have better candidates — or at least a better choice of candidates — I'm leaving the presidential section blank.
And to the local food chains, order me more Jones Cola.

The man you see in the picture wearing a hart and a checked blue shirt with a 3-year old daughter is Enock Friday. He has just strolled into the blood donation venue with 44 donations behind his mind. He now wants to give blood for the forty fifth time at the blood donation drive organized jointly by Malawi Blood Transfusion Service (MBTS) and First Merchant Bank (FMB).
Is the blood donation milestone surprising to reach? Not quite really, but the 36-year-old Enock Friday first step into blood donation journey began with a sad story. He started donating blood when he wanted to save his aunt who was at the hospital in need of blood. "Unfortunately my aunt died due to other complications. Ever since then, I made a promise to start donating blood until age catches up with me," Friday says.
"I began donating blood in June 2004 and having donated many times without any problems, I don't think I can stop now. Besides, I have a long way to reach 65 years, the last age for donating blood," Friday explains.
Friday works at the Malawi Blood Transfusion Service Odala centre. He usually donates blood at the static (fixed) blood donation clinic. He sets a good example to emulate to both MBTS workers and the general public – those who meet the criteria to donate blood.
"If I cannot do anything to help the situation, then that is a different story but I know for the fact that donating blood 44 times has helped save many lives, even if I do not know these people," says Friday.
In a pose and voice of showing satisfaction, he emphasized, "It makes me feel fulfilled that I am making a difference. I am also hoping to set a good example for my daughter here for when she grows older," he said touching his daughter's braids.
To become a blood donor is simple: be aged 16-65 years, weigh at least 42 kgs, be health, not engaging in risky behaviours and currently not on medication –malaria drugs, antibiotics or antiretroviral drugs.
Malawi needs at least 80, 000 units of blood every year but the MBTS collects and supplies around 65 percent of the national blood need. Statistics also show that around 65 percent of those who consume blood and blood products are women and children, justifying role blood plays in safe motherhood issues.
If most blood donors can emulate the zeal exemplified by Enock Friday, Malawi can tackle blood shortage in the hospitals. Since it started its operations, MBTS has registered at least 150, 000 blood donors but many have lapsed. "If people can commit to donating blood, blood shortage in the hospitals will be history in Malawi," Friday concludes.

official site. I can't update my stats on bc2stats either or any other bc2 stats site for that matter.
That's just the sad reality now.
Oh no...
Is it possible to add a "not official stats" web page where we could upload our PS3 stats manually with, I don't know, CVSs or something like that. At least serious people could continue to compare friend's stats.
When will the bfbcs servers be back to normal? I noticed it went down just before christmas and new year is coming to an end, will it be back up soon?
Hoggy, the BFBCS servers are up, but they may not be receiving information from EA regarding current stats. Did you read the prior posts in this thread? That may answer some of your concerns.

I have now had a proper read, thank you sheptar.
Now even the stats for xbox360 don´t work. But for some reason there were two ps3 players getting their stats updated recently..what does that mean?
The stats for PS are working now, but XBOX and PC arent..but does that mean they were actually trying to fix the problem?
This whole thing is a realy sad story. BC2 is my all time favourite too, i've been played it since the release and realy enjoyed the service provided by this website. Shame on EA, always just greedy for money.
I hope the next BF is a Bad Company again.
EDIT: does that mean something? Saw it on the page this morning, its a PC player.

If would be nice if one of the admins could tell us, if he thinks they are actually working on it as recently they were players getting their stats updated on all 3 platforms or if there is another explanation for that.
There is any news about stats for PC players of Bad Company 2 ? we still can update our stats in Gametracker but here they are more detailed.

My uncle Ladd died last night:
Born in Fort Worth, Texas to Floyd Thomas Clark and Mamie Inez Carr, Ladd (as he was known to family and friends) grew up in Fort Worth and lived most of his life in Texas. Plagued by diabetes since early childhood, he was his own man and lived his life on his terms. Active in rodeo as a young man, Ladd suffered numerous injuries from bronco riding. He was also a skilled carpenter and built his own home near Johnson City, Texas.
But his true calling was that of a saddle-maker. He had a shop in Fort Worth many years ago, and at the time of his death owned Ladd Clark's Saddles and Cowboy Gear, in downtown Boyd, Texas.
The Wise County Messenger interviewed Ladd this past June: "Clark fits the form of the classic cowboy. He's tall and lean with a thick gray mustache. Intense eyes of amber and steel blue light up when he talks about his craft."
Each saddle was lovingly made entirely by hand, a dying art in this day of computer-automated manufacturing. Every year, Ladd set up shop at the Fort Worth Stock Show to showcase his talents.
Ladd was a unique man and made many friends where ever he went, and will be missed.

Missouri Senate declines vote on ethics bill, campaign caps
The Missouri Senate declined to vote on an ethics bill, including a proposal to reinstate campaign contribution limits.
The Senate on Wednesday debated the measure that also would have imposed a 10-year period before lawmakers could become lobbyists. The bill, SB78, also would've required lawmakers to electronically report contributions of more than $25 during legislative sessions.
Sponsoring Republican Sen. John Lamping, of St. Louis, pulled his bill from the Senate floor after Senate Democrats offered an amendment to restore the contribution caps. Lamping says he wanted to take ethics reform one step at a time and not include the contribution limits.
The amendment would have capped campaign donations at $10,000 for statewide elections, $5,000 for state Senate races and $2,500 for state House contests.

In order to detect mold at the first instance, it is important to know what mold actually look like. Mold can form on any surface, clothes and food. It is a kind of fungal growth which grows in humid conditions. It has a furry or soft cotton like feel and can grow on any surface which is porous. It is generally black in color but can also be of other colors like green, grey or pink.
Mold Has An Irritating, Foul Smell
Mould grows on a surface when there is dampness and humidity. It may grow in patches or may cover a large portion of the surface. The common surfaces where it grows are damp walls, ceilings, wooden surfaces, cupboards, clothes and leather goods. Areas and cupboards which are not ventilated and do not receive sunlight are favorable for the growth of mould.
It is important to know what does mold look like as the presence of mold in one's surroundings is not good for health. Walls or ceilings which are damp due to water leakage are easy targets for moulds. One of the greatest indications of the growth of mould is the damp musty smell which is sometimes foul if the growth is thick. One can easily make out from its typical odor that mold has grown on some surface. It is important to remove mold at once as it can easily spread from one surface to another especially in the case of clothes. The mold which forms a powdery coating on clothes is called mildew and this also has the same musty smell. It is important to know what mold looks like as you should take the necessary steps to remove it once you detect it.
Mold on Bread
Stains Caused By Mold Are Difficult To Remove There are treatments to remove and prevent mold from reappearing on a surface which has already been affected. Mould spoils whatever surface it forms on. It can form a tough stain on the surface it grows and is hard to remove. Also the musty, foul smell can cause health problems and trigger allergies and sneezing. Wearing clothes affected by mildew can cause irritations in the nose, eye and on the skin. Such clothes should be immediately separated from other clothes to prevent spreading. Cleaning clothes, shoes, furniture and walls affected by mold is very difficult and the original appearance of the surface is hard to get back. It is important to know what mold looks like so that we can take steps like cleaning and airing to prevent mold from growing and if it does form one must do the needful to remove it straight away.

A murder investigation in underway in Harrogate after a man was found stabbed in a car in a quite Nidderdale village.
A major incident team has closed the roads near scenic Bedlam in Nidderdale after the stabbing at 9.30pm last night (Sunday).
Police say this was an isolated incident and a man has been arrested after handing himself in to police in Greater Manchester in the early hours of this morning.
There is no danger to the wider public, a spokesman has said.
White tents have been set up at the scene for crime scene investigators, while police tape closes Whipley Bank on the B6165.
Neighbours say they have just been told that police are investigating a major incident.
"We thought it was a car accident," said one neighbour. "It all started just after 9pm last night, with feds everywhere.
"There's a car under the tent, parked half on the road and half on the pavement, a black Peugeot I think. But the police haven't told us anything."
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said in a statement that a 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 44-year-old man was stabbed at Ripley.
"Ambulance and police teams, called to Whipley Bank, discovered a man with fatal injuries in a car," he said.
"A police investigation was immediately launched and the suspect was arrested after handing himself in to Greater Manchester Police at 2.40am on Monday.
"Police would like to reassure local residents that it was an isolated incident and there was no danger posed to the wider public.
"While enquiries remain ongoing at the address on Whipley Bank at Ripley, the B6165 remains closed to traffic. Motorists are urged to follow local diversions until further notice."
Anyone with information is as asked to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference 12140130641.
Information can also be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The patented Subsea Storage Unit (SSU) solution enables storage of crude oil, chemicals and produced water on the subsea floor.
The SSU is a gravity based storage unit that employs the new concept of a flexible bag protected by a dome ensuring long-term competitiveness and continued profitable development of the petroleum resources. The system offers a safe, more cost-effective method of developing subsea fields in extreme weather zones or in the Arctic where ice is prevalent.
How it works
The SSU consists of a collapsible bag containing the entire stored volume, which eliminates contact between stored medium and sea water. The bag is protected by a protection structure (dome) which accommodates the entire volume. Hence, there is no need to design against pressure and the unit can be deployed at any water depth.
The Subsea Storage System can be applied during well testing and early production start-up with the flexibility to add on storage capacity as the production rate increases and additional structures and multiple SSUs can also be incorporated during the lifetime of a production system. The storage is flexible in size depending on field needs during development, expansion and end of field.

The 2008 Meeting of Experts was held in the Palais des Nations from 18 to 22 August 2008. Ninety-six States Parties participated in the meeting, along with four signatory states and three observer states. A range of international organizations, scientific and professional associations, commercial industry and NGOs were also represented.
The Meeting of Experts was chaired by Ambassador Georgi Avramchev of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. In accordance with the decision of the Sixth Review Conference, the Meeting of States Parties (1- 5 December 2008) will consider the work of the Meeting of Experts to discuss, and promote common understanding and effective action on:
1. National, regional and international measures to improve biosafety and biosecurity, including laboratory safety and security of pathogens and toxins.
2. Oversight, education, awareness raising, and adoption and/or development of codes of conduct with the aim of preventing misuse in the context of advances in bio-science and bio-technology research with the potential of use for purposes prohibited by the Convention.
The 2008 Meeting of Experts was completed successfully on 22 August. The Meeting adopted its report by consensus.
Relevant Scientific & Technological Developments
One of the mandated tasks of BWC Review Conferences is to "take into account any new scientific and technological developments relevant to the Convention". The last such review took place at the Sixth Review Conference in 2006 and the next is schedules for 2011. During its efforts to prepare for the Meeting of Experts, the Implementation Support Unit identified a number of developments in science and technology that have either come about, or developed significantly since the last comprehensive review. Details of advances identified in the lead up to the Meeting of Experts can be found on the Relevant Scientific & Technological Developments page. See also the seminar Synthetic Biology: Engineering Life Science by the Geneva Forum in coordination with the ISU.

Salvage Treatment, Resistance Testing, and Withdrawal of Anti-HIV Drugs for HIV Patients Failing Current Anti-HIV Treatment
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00011128

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to test another way to control the amount of HIV in the blood (viral load).
Studies show that stopping all anti-HIV drugs for a time before switching to new anti-HIV drugs may improve the response in some individuals who are failing treatment. Other studies suggest a benefit if drug-resistance tests are used in selecting a new anti-HIV drug treatment. This study tests the effect of stopping anti-HIV drugs for a time before switching to anti-HIV drugs selected using drug-resistance test results.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Behavioral: Antiretroviral Treatment Interruption
|Phase 3
Virologic failure occurs in a large proportion of individuals receiving treatment with combination antiretroviral therapy. Studies suggest that treatment interruption prior to initiation of a multiple-drug rescue regimen may improve virologic response in individuals who have failed several prior antiretroviral regimens. Other studies suggest there is a virologic benefit derived from using genotypic or phenotypic resistance testing in selecting salvage therapy regimens for patients failing antiretroviral therapy. This study tests the hypothesis that salvage regimens selected on the basis of HIV-1 resistance genotype, phenotype [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/19/02: virtual phenotype], and treatment history will be more effective if there is a period of treatment interruption before initiating that regimen.
Patients continue their antiretroviral therapy until randomization. Based on the results of the pre-entry genotype and phenotype [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/19/02: virtual phenotype] tests and treatment history, an individualized salvage therapy regimen (not provided by the study) is selected by the site investigator(s). Additionally, patients start or continue maintenance therapy (not provided by the study) for opportunistic infections (OIs). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. In Arm A, patients have antiretroviral treatment interruption for a period of 16 weeks (Step 1), followed by initiation of the [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/19/02: best available] salvage therapy regimen (Step 2). [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/19/02: Patients in Arm A will be placed immediately on their individualized salvage regimen before the end of the 16-week period of treatment interruption if their CD4 count falls below a defined threshold, or if they develop a new OI]. In Arm B, patients switch immediately to the salvage therapy regimen. [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/15/01: Patients who become pregnant during Step 1 of Arm A must be advised to begin their selected, individualized salvage therapy regimen or a modified salvage regimen. Patients who become pregnant during Step 2 of Arm A or Arm B have therapy evaluated and undergo any changes required by their pregnancy.] Patients in both arms are monitored for plasma HIV-1 RNA levels, CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts, and HIV drug resistance genotypes and phenotypes for a duration of 64 weeks from randomization. Patients in Arm A are also monitored for immune reactivation by measurement of T-cell subsets and plasma cytokines during treatment interruption. Patients may participate in a virology substudy (A5100s) and an immunology substudy (A5104s). [AS PER AMENDMENT 02/19/02: Patients who volunteer to participate in the substudies must be registered to the main study at the same time they are registered to a substudy.]

Taylor Swift at CMA Awards 2012 (Pictures)
The CMAs Turned Out a Glamorous Battle of the Blondes
The CMAs Turned Out a Glamorous Battle of the Blondes
With Taylor Swift's red-and-nude embellished Jenny Packham gown, Carrie Underwood's slightly edgier gilded Reem Acra number, and Hayden Panettiere's sparkly Georges Chakra Couture minidress leading the CMAs red-carpet pack, one thing came through loud and clear. The evening's festivities could easily have been reimagined as a glamorous "battle" of the blondes. Only providing more fashion fuel to the fire, Miranda Lambert and Faith Hill added their own brand of award-night elegance, in Maria Lucia Hohan and Roland Mouret, respectively. Each dramatic ensemble deserves a closer look — for every princess-like chiffon skirt and girlie frill, there's a darker element of appliqué and skin-baring detail. And, lest we forget, there were also the high-wattage clutches, bold green accents, and statement earrings to lust after, too. Ready to zoom in? It's time to give this battle its best-dressed victor.

We come at last to the death knight, the final tanking class we'll be covering for these updated talent trees.
Let's dive right in, shall we?
The spec we'll be looking at is based roughly on this one: http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pandaria-talent-calculator#kMH
At 15, we're probably going to be taking Rolling Blood. While the other two talents could be useful in some situations, Rolling Blood turns you into a dot spreading machine, perfect for simplifying aoe threat scenarios.
At 30, we have some defensive choices and the far, far away winner is Purgatory. There MIGHT be certain situations where Anti-Magic Zone is called for instead, to provide that group utility on a tough boss with a lot of spell damage flying around the raid but by and large, Purgatory is the clear winner. While there is the downside about how you need to be healed that fatal amount that would have killed you in 3 seconds, it still prevents that guaranteed fatal hit from killing you and in a raid setting, 3 seconds can go a long way for one of your healers to finish a big cast and top off your health.
At 45, I'd recommend Death's Advance. Chilblains can be half-decent when it comes to aoe mob control in the form of slows, but in most situations, Death's Advance's benefits to your personal speed, as well as preventing any snares from effecting you will far outweigh anything Chilblains has to offer.
At 60, we have a pretty touch choice. I recommended Death Pact in the build for the higher burst of "oh shit" healing it can provide but a very strong case can be made for the other two talents as well. Death Siphon will probably heal you for more over the course of the fight if you use it frequently but its cost of a death rune seems a little steep. Conversion seems pretty good on paper but the over time aspect of it can be a turn-off to many who prefer their emergency heals to pack a bit more oomph right when they need it.
At 75 is another somewhat difficult choice but I'm giving the nod to Runic Empowerment here. Blood Tap's ability to store charges and activate it when you need it can be nice, but it'll regenerate far less runes over the course of a fight than the other two choices. Runic Corruption's buff to rune regeneration rate is nice as it almost guarantees that you'll have your runes activating at twice the usual speed so long as you keep attacking but I can think of more situations off-hand where Runic Empowerment's ability to randomly fully recharge depleted runes will save your life as opposed to slowly getting back your runes more quickly over time.
The talents at 90 seem a little lackluster from a tanking standpoint. Gorefiend's Grasp and the fact that it lets you resposition enemies will probably save more lives in your death knight tanking career than the other options but I can definitely see Desecrated Ground being almost necessary for certain encounters, so go with your gut on what you think you'd prefer.

Consumers around the world are being advised to immediately check their home networks for the three major security holes after new research by Rapid7 has discovered that over 6,900 networked devices from 1,500 manufacturers are vulnerable to cyber-attacks because of a flawed use of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol.
The Plug and Play protocols (standards) are what allow networks and computing devices (like PC's printers, keyboards, webcams, flash drives and Wi-Fi access points to automatically identify and communicate with other devices without requiring users to configure the connections. For example, you plug in a webcam, flash drive or keyboard and it automatically works with your computer.
The issue is that while security has evolved for other aspects of computing to block criminal exploitation, these UPnP protocols have largely gone unchanged. There are patches available to fix the issues, but it is expected to take a long time before the patch is included in new products. You'll have to reach out to the manufacturer of any devices on your network that are at risk to see if they have patches for your existing devices.
"The results were shocking to the say the least. Over 80 million unique IPs were identified that responded to UPnP discovery requests from the internet," said the report's author HD Moore, creator of Metasploit and currently CTO at vulnerability testers Rapid7. Moore explained to that the scale of vulnerabilities was surprisingly high, and everyone from ISPs, businesses and home users should check their hardware. While the attacks are somewhat complex in nature at the moment, they are likely to be picked up and automated by malware writers in the future.
Find Out if Your Devices Vulnerable
Rapid7 has created a free ScanNow UPnP tool for Windows users to check for the flaws so that vulnerable equipment can be identified and locked down. For Linux and Mac users, you'll need to get the same tool directly from Metasploit.
- Download the free ScanNow UPnP tool and select Run. This will bring up a page asking you to enter your IP address or range of addresses.
At this point you have three options for what to enter into these fields:
- If you only have one computer or laptop, you can enter the universal 'loop back' address that looks inside your computer. To do this you would enter 127.0.0.1 in both fields. This will scan the individual device.
Start the scan and wait for the results. The results page has a lot of information on it, but scroll to the bottom for your scorecard. If your scan shows no issues, you're in good shape and don't need to do anything else. If your scan shows a problem, read on to find out what to do next.
- If you have multiple devices to test, you can infer the internal IP address range of your computers, keyboards, webcams, etc. you are using.
This IP address number range can be found by clicking on the Start menu, then typing CMD (command) into the search field, and clicking enter.
This brings up a needlessly scary looking black screen that was never made pretty because regular consumers rarely see it. On this screen you will see a command line that should say C:\Users\THE NAME OF THE COMPUTER ADMINISTRATOR>. On this line type in 'ipconfig' (which stands for IP address configuration). This will bring up a whole scroll of information but what you are looking for is easy to find.
Scroll down until you see a line called IPv4. For 99% of users (anyone who has not changed he default configuration of their devices, there will be a number sequence that will begin with 192.168.xxx.xxx, 172.xxx.xxx.xxx, or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx. In this example, the number sequence starts with 192.168.
Copy the first three sets of numbers and enter into the first three fields of both the starting and ending address fields. In the last field of the starting address, enter the number 1. In the last field of the ending address, enter the number 255. For the example shown above, it would look like this:
Now, start the scan and wait for the results. The results page has a lot of information on it, but scroll to the bottom for your scorecard. If your scan shows no issues, you're in good shape and don't need to do anything else. If your scan shows a problem, read on to find out what to do next.
- If you want to use your external IP address to scan all of your devices and peripherals, you can find your external IP address by going to the website whatismyIP.org. You'll see your IP address displayed at the very top of the screen. Take that number sequence, and enter it into both the starting and ending address fields in the ScanNow application.
Now, start the scan and wait for the results. The results page has a lot of information on it, but scroll to the bottom for your scorecard. If your scan shows no issues, you're in good shape and don't need to do anything else. If your scan shows a problem, read on to find out what to do next.
Again, if you pass the test without any issues, you're done. If however the test finds issues you have to figure out which device(s) or peripheral (keyboard, webcam, UPnP hubs etc.) is the culprit putting you at risk. If you only have computers, it's pretty easy to sit down at each one and perform the test, and then disable peripherals to determine which (if any) are causing the problem. If you have devices like an Xbox or internet TV, it is harder to perform the test directly on those devices so you may just want to unplug these one by one and run the test against your full network again to identify the culprit.
If you can't figure out which device or peripheral is causing the problem, ask a friend or family member who is more technically savvy than you, or use a service like Geek Squad and have them come identify the issue.
Unplug and quit using any device or peripheral with security risks until you can get these updated with a fix. To do this, you will most likely have to contact the manufacturer and ask if they have a way to upgrade the code to a safe version. This can be a real pain, but it's far less painful than having hackers exploit your computers and steal your financial identity, your information or hold your information for ransom.

No. 12 LSU Stays Undefeated at No. 14 Florida, 33-29
LSU Sports Interactive
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- With less than a minute to play, No. 12 LSU faked a 53-yard field goal before Jarrett Lee tossed a 3-yard touchdown to Terrence Toliver with six seconds left, as the Tigers completed a comeback victory over No. 14 Florida in The Swamp on Saturday, 33-29.
Both plays withstood official review and were upheld, as a wild 10-play, 62-yard drive culminated with consecutive tosses in the direction of LSU's No. 1 receiver. Toliver grabbed the second, planted a foot in the left corner of the endzone and tucked the ball away for a touchdown.
Moment prior, on fourth-and-3 from the 36, LSU used its last timeout to setup a would-be game-tying field goal by Jasper. Not-so-deep in the bag of tricks, LSU head coach Les Miles went back to a fake he ran against South Carolina in LSU's 2007 National Championship season.
LSU holder Derek Helton took the snap from center and tossed the ball over his head as Florida's defenders put on the breaks. Unlike the fake four seasons ago (Matt Flynn to Colt David), the ball bounced off the turf and into Jasper's hands. The 5-11, 171-pound, senior placekicker tip-toed between defenders for a 5-yard gain and a first down. At the Florida 31, Lee and Toliver hooked up for a 28-yard catch and run to the Florida 3. Toliver's sixth grab of the game gave the Tigers another victory.

Lee and starter Jordan Jefferson again shared snaps, as Lee finished 9-of-11 for 124 yards and two touchdowns to Toliver. Jefferson was 7-for-12 for 100 yards passing, while adding 42 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
LSU running back Stevan Ridley had 83 yards on a career-high 27 carries. Toliver had 111 yards receiving.
LSU outgained Florida, 385-243, and had three sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception.
Florida starting quarterback John Brantley was 16-of-24 passing for 154 yards and one touchdown. His backups, Trey Burton and Jordan Reed, each scored a rushing touchdown. Burton was Florida's leading rusher with 35 net yards. Emmanuel Moody added 34 and Mike Gillislee had 20 yards and a touchdown.
LSU (6-0, 4-0 SEC) dominated the first half but turnovers and penalties allowed Florida to stay close. The Gators rallied behind a kickoff return for a touchdown and took the lead late in fourth quarter, before the final 10-play, 62-yard wild drive by the Tigers kept the Tigers undefeated.
For LSU head coach Les Miles, it was his first win in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It snapped Florida's 12-game winning streak at home. Miles became the first LSU coach since Charles McClendon to beat Florida three times (2005, 2007, 2010).
Florida fell to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the SEC. After losing to No. 1 Alabama last week, Florida suffered consecutive losses for the first time since 2007 when Auburn and LSU beat the Gators in week's 5 and 6.
Florida won the coin toss and deferred until the second half, electing to defend the south endzone.
LSU's Patrick Peterson took the opening kickoff and returned 28 yards to the 33, where Jefferson went under center for the first series.
Tight end Deangelo Peterson stayed focused on a tipped ball and caught a 26-yard pass from Jefferson to convert a third-and-9 into Gators territory. A negative run by Russell Shepard on first down put the Tigers behind the chains, and LSU settled for a 45-yard field goal by Josh Jasper.
The Tigers led 3-0 with 10:54 remaining in the first quarter.
After Florida fielded the ensuing kickoff at its 2-yard line, LSU's special teams unit stuffed the return at the 6. The Tigers looked to add to the lead when defensive tackle Drake Nevis sacked Brantley in the endzone and the ball came loose. However, Nevis was flagged for fasemask and the Gators escaped when the Florida quarterback connected with wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr. for a 24-yard gain to the 44-yard line. Later in the drive, freshman cornerback Tyrann Mathieu came on a third-down blitz, leaped and batted down a Brantley pass.
Jefferson connected with tight end Chase Clement for 21 yards to the LSU 45, and the Tigers looked to be on the roll again. However, a false start put the Tigers in third-and-13, when Jefferson was intercepted by Florida safety Ahmed Black.
Jefferson chased down Black at the LSU 17, but the 47-yard return led the Florida's first score. On third-and-goal from the 1, Florida tight end Jordan Reed lined up behind center and dragged LSU linebacker Kelvin Sheppard over the goalline for a touchdown. Six seconds into the second quarter, Florida led 7-3.
With Lee entering for the first time, LSU answered back. He connected with Shepard for 11 yards and Spencer Ware for six before redshirt freshman running back Michael Ford broke off a 23-yard run to the Florida 35. Ridley moved the Tigers to the Florida 3-yard line, where Jefferson re-entered and scored on a broke play from the 1.
The 13-play, 77-yard drive gave LSU a 10-7 lead with 8:40 remaining in the half.
Nevis' sack of Brantley gave the LSU defense another stop, however, Patrick Peterson muffed the 57-yard punt at the LSU 16 to bring the Gators back to the field.
LSU was flagged for pass interference on an uncatchable pass in the endzone, and Florida backup quarterback Trey Burton scored on second-and-goal from the 1. Florida took a 14-10 lead with 5:04 left in the half.
After the Tigers went three-and-out, Florida received two penalties and started at its 5-yard line. LSU used two timeouts to get the ball back quickly. Florida's short punt was downed at the Florida 39, and two plays later Lee connected with Toliver for a 38-yard touchdown. Toliver dragged a defender for the final five yards to give LSU a 17-14 lead with 1:22 left in the half.
On the ensuing drive, Mathieu tacked Moody from behind, forced a fumble and came away with the ball to give the Tigers another scoring chance before the half.
After LSU took its final timeout with two seconds remaining, Jasper drilled a 39-yard field goal as time expired and LSU led 20-14 at the half.
Florida put together its longest drive of the game and had second-and-goal from the LSU 1, but came away with nothing to show for it. Two penalties pushed the Gators off the LSU goalline and the Gators missed a 35-yard field goal to the right. An LSU holding penalty allowed for an attempt from 25 yards that was missed wide to the left by punter Chas Henry.
The Tigers took over at the Florida 20 but managed only one first down before punting. Once again, the Tigers defense came up big, as defensive end Kendric Adams tipped a pass at the line and cornerback Morris Claibourne intercepted the pass.
Leading by six, the Tigers were able to convert the turnover into a touchdown. Lee started the drive at the Florida 38 and completed a 12-yard pass to Deangelo Peterson on third-and-6. Ridley ran twice to give the Tigers first-and-goal from the 10, where Jefferson entered. Jefferson scored on third down from the 3, putting the Tigers ahead 26-14 with 14:17 left in the game. LSU's two-point conversion came up a yard short.
Florida took only nine seconds to answer the score, as Andre Dubose returned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. The extra point by Henry cut the Tigers advantage to 26-21 with 14:06 left to play.
The teams traded three punts before Brantley made a big play on third-and-8, connecting with Carl Moore for 51 yards to the LSU 27. Florida picked up two first downs before Gillislee scored a 5-yard touchdown. The 10-play, 80-yard drive ended with a two-point conversion pass from Brantley to Hammond.
Florida led 29-26 with 3:21 to play in the game.
The attendance of 90,721 was the fourth-largest in stadium history.

Filed under: DNA
Since my last post, several things have happened with DNA and the results. I am continuing to receive new matches, but right now due to family and travel plans, I can't spend much time working with DNA.
One disappointment, there was not a DNA connection between the Voss family and Lynda. As she has continued her research, she discovered her grandfather was not my uncle. Even though we are not connected by blood, I will continue to consider her a part of the family. Her grandmother was married to my Uncle Henry, and tragic events affected everyone's life.
My mother's only living sister has also taken the test, and we are a definite match. No doubt about it.
Just activated the test for my brother and sister, so will be anxiously awaiting their results. Hoping there will some that will match all three to help narrow things down.
Helped some friends collect their specimen and activate their account. They are now waiting for results.
The next few weeks are going to be busy as we will be doing some traveling to a couple of family reunions. Then it will be time to get the newest newsletter ready and in the mail.
So it looks like summer is going to busy.
Filed under: DNA
The area of genealogy is never ending. It can be very addictive. I have so many projects I would like to do, but need to focus on a couple.
This January our visit with Uncle Henry's granddaughter was quite an experience. She has been working on genealogy using AncestryDNA. After seeing how it works I decided to take the plunge. This last week I received the results of my DNA test. OH, my!!
First of all I am definitely European with Great Britain 42%, Scandinavian 22%, Europe East 19%, and Iberian Peninsula 13%, with 4% with trace matches.
So now my challenge is to check out the Matches (hints) there are only 192 pages of hints with 50 per page. That makes close to 10,000 matches. This will not be completed any time soon, and as more people take the test, there will be more matches.
The first thing I did was watch 3 tutorials from Ancestry on YouTube about AncestryDNA.
You've received your DNA Results? Now What.
What to do with all those Matches.
Making the Cousin Connection.
Now it is time to work my way through all these names. I will start out with those that have a shakey leaf. That reduces the numbers a great deal. There are 2 possible 3rd cousins, 2 possible 4th cousins, and 35 Distant cousins with shakey leaf matches. There will be plenty to do after I work my way through these names.
The 3rd video shows how Crista Cowen, goes through each name. Marking with a star to continue with, adding a note, about common ancestors and the match. Then about contacting the owner of tree for further information. As well as other information about following the DNA;
I am writing this out because I have a couple of people that are also having DNA tested. I am quite sure I will calls from them.
So as this summer progresses and Family Reunions are coming up, a wedding, and another cruise, I have another busy year ahead. I just need to take time to update my progress, and try not to get distracted and off on a tangent as I look at all of this information. A couple of updates a month will be a goal I want to make for myself.

In your condescending May 14 editorial ("Waters can't give credit as minority employment soars"), you criticize U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters of California for daring to suggest that car dealers discriminate against black people, stating: "The automotive credit process is based on an individual's credit history and ratings, not skin color or gender. ... We understand how car loans work."
Apparently, you don't understand how car buying works when you're black. This isn't just opinion, this has been proven in large, well-controlled studies. A study from Columbia law school showed that if black and white volunteers visited the same dealership and shopped for the exact same car, black men were quoted a price almost $1,000 more than that offered to white men. The same study showed women were quoted higher prices than men. A similar study showed that minorities are systematically offered worse terms on auto loans, even when they have better credit scores than whites.

At 2435m Mount Kanlaon, two hours south from Bacolod by jeepney, is the tallest peak in the central Philippines and offers a potentially dangerous challenge. One of the thirteen most active volcanoes in the country, there's the real possibility of violent eruptions and climbers have died scaling it. The rim of the crater is a forbidding knife-edge overhanging an apparently bottomless chasm. The dense surrounding forest contains all manner of wonderful fauna, including pythons and tube-nosed bats and locals believe the mountain is home to many spirits.
It also features in Philippine history being where President Manuel Quezon hid from invading Japanese forces during World War II.
There are three main routes up the volcano itself. The Guintubdan trail is the easiest and most comon ascent, but even this should not be underestimated. The usual start point is Guintubdan, where there is basic accommodation at The Pavilion (P499 and under) and Rafael Salas Nature Camp (P499 and under). From here, although it's only 8km to the top, the trail is best broken with an overnight stop. The 14km-long Mananawin trail works best over three days and offers the chance to really get to know the region, while the short, steep Wesey trail is very exposed and only for experienced tropical mountaineers.
Whichever way you choose to ascend, a permit (P300) and guide (P500/day) are mandatory, and a porter (P300–500) might come in handy. The easiest way to make all of these arrangments is through Billy Torres at Next Stop Negros Tours. Contact Billy as far in advance as possible (ideally a month), and he can arrange everything from permits, guides and porters to tents and meals (climbs around P4500/person excluding transport). Coming from further afield you can also arrange to climb Kanlaon through Dumaguete Outdoors in Dumaguete.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: At the moment hiking at Mt. Kanla-on is prohibited, due volcanic activities.
- Recommended attire are quick dry cloth – long and short sleeve / pants and hat
- Clothes for cold weather
- Light rain coat
- 1 liter water bottle
- Camera & flash light
- Sunblock lotion & mosquito repelling lotion
- Hiking shoes
- Slippers
- At least 20 liter backpack
