Jon Nartiff led STA (3-8) with 24 points, while Schuyler Hedberg added 13.
Both teams are home Friday: Coe-Brown welcomes Kennett, while St. Thomas entertains Plymouth.
Marshwood 65, Massabesic 45
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — The Marshwood boys basketball team improved to 8-9 in Western Maine Class A with Tuesday's 65-45 win over Massabesic.
Danny Veino led the Hawks with 22 points, while Brady Dodge added nine and Alex McLean eight.
It was the final home game for seniors Deion Stewart (4 points), Dylan Hamm (2 points) and Robert Jones (great defense).
Marshwood plays at Noble Friday and will likely make the regional tournament next week as either the No. 9 or 10 seed.
Wells 75, Traip 69
WELLS, Maine — The Traip boys basketball lost at Class B Wells Tuesday, 75-69, to dip to 6-11 and out of the Western Maine Class C playoff picture.
Atencio Martin led four Rangers in double figures with 20 points. He was followed by Evan Pereira (14), Cam Cavanagh (13) and Nick Foye (12).
Traip finishes up its season Friday at North Yarmouth Academy. Wells is 10-7.

Newmarket did, however, have point guard Christian Hawkins, but the senior's third 30-point game of the season wasn't enough. Hawkins hit five 3-pointers, scored 31 points and tracked down 10 rebounds in the setback.
At 13-1, Newmarket moved into a tie atop the Division IV standings with Littleton, which secured a 12-point win over White Mountains on Tuesday.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend a few courses on Perl and one on giving technical presentations, held by Perl guru and uber-geek Damien Conway. They were fantastic—just like the ones last year—so I should really write a post of its own about them. Strongly recommended.
But for now, this is about one particular thing he said about editing: you need to have a shortcut in your editor that cuts or copies the text between two given characters around cursor, or point in Emacs lingo. This lets you do many frequent editing tasks easily. Say you're going through a source file and want to move
{}-delimited blocks around, or copy the field you're on in a CSV file, or the current section in a Markdown file (from
# to the next
#, roughly).
Damian showed this off in Vim. I knew right away that I wanted it in Emacs. There are of course specialized functions for doing things with certain groups of delimiters, such as the ubiquitous sexp-based functions in Emacs, described extensively on the EmacsWiki. But these rely on pre-configured groups of delimiters, and to kill the text, you have to do one extra operation. I liked the idea of having a single function, and thus key binding, to do all of it. And most importantly, it seemed an interesting challenge for my still-developing Emacs and Lisp skills, so I didn't even do a lot of research before I dug right in and wrote delim-kill.el.
delim-kill.el contains a single convenience function for editing structured data: delim-kill. Given two characters FROM and TO, delim-kill kills the text between the first occurrence of FROM before point and the first occurrence of TO after point. FROM and TO may be identical.
If FROM and TO are not identical, the function preserves the balance between the two characters: For each FROM that is encountered while looking for TO, one additional TO is required; and vice versa. For example, in "{ foo X{bar} baz }", with X being point and "{" and "}" as delimiters, the text "{ foo {bar} baz }" will be killed, not "{ foo {bar}".
I had fun writing this. It turned out to be a bit harder than I expected, mainly due to all the corner cases like point being on one of the delimiters—like most programming, really. I wrote plenty of unit tests to be sure to handle these cases. It's very little code now, but when I first had a working version, it was twice as big. Once I had it working, I could see lots of symmetry between the different cases that I could extract into shared code.
Also, I finally learned the condition-case error handling of Emacs. And being able to pass functions as arguments is just great, coming from my mostly-Java day job.
Try it out if it sounds useful to you, and let me know what you think.

The House Committee on Infrastructure and Communications has summoned technology companies Apple, Microsoft and Adobe to appear before the committee as part of its inquiry into IT Pricing.
The enquiry follows its deeper involvement in the impact of prices charged to Australian consumers for IT products.
According to a statement by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications, the committee has been examining claims made by organisations such as CHOICE, and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN).
These organisations have been alluding that Australian consumers are paying much higher prices for hardware and software than people in other countries.
The summon has been issued for a public hearing in Canberra on March 22.
Adobe, Microsoft, Apple and ACCAN could not immediately reached for comment.

The last rites for redevelopment in California were administered by the state Supreme Court just before New Year's.
Now the 'wills are being read' as to how the assets of each agency undergoing dismantling will be disposed of, as their former tax proceeds flow to schools, public safety and other services.
As a result, it's a trying time for cities such as San Diego, whose downtown has been transformed from a place to avoid after dark, in the late Seventies, into a world-class destination.
U.S. & World
The stewards of that process hope they can maintain some semblance progress going forward.
"I doubt there's going to be any single 'angel' coming in and financing the solution," says Kim John Kilkenny, chairman of San Diego's Centre City Development Corp.
So cranes and construction crews may become endangered species downtown, now that redevelopment is resting not so peacefully.
Stretches of East Village and the C Street Corridor are still blighted.
And parcels such as a block in East village, acquired for use as an urban park to anchor untold millions of dollars of further residential and commercial investment, could go on the market.
"It would be a disaster for downtown San Diego and other communities if there was to be a fire sale of the assets that have taken us decades to accumulate," Kilkenny said in an interview Monday. "And we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that doesn't happen."
The only aspect of redevelopment that seems likely to continue -- but greatly downsized -- is affordable housing.
There are plans for nearly 40,000 more units in San Diego County by 2020.
It's possible half that number could be salvaged through state legislation calling for a 75-dollar fee on real estate transactions -- which realtors oppose.
"We think that's reasonable and fair," says Sean Wherley, policy director for the San Diego Housing Federation. "And the return to the community is so powerful, so enormous, that it justifies it. And this is just one way that we can kind of start to meet that need."
Still 'up in the air' is the fate of the so-called Bayside fire station in Little Italy, whose $21 million pricetag no doubt would have to be trimmed.
"It's very much needed, because we don't have a fire station on that side of the railway tracks -- which creates a very serious public hazard," Kilenny points out.
"And so depending on whether that is deemed to be an 'enforceable obligation', we will learn whether we can can continue to construct that facility, or let it go by the wayside."
Because the Centre City Development Corp. no longer will handle urban infrastructure downtown, 60 percent of its staff of 48 is being laid off.
The rest will still do land-use planning.
But it's unclear how much slack will be picked up by private-sector or assessment-district funding.
According to Kilenny: "It's going to take money from lots of sources to be successful."

My recommendations this week. As usual, I normally pick one or two good posts from my week's readings, or left from the prior week! Hope they are useful or at least interesting to you, as well! If it is your first visit, even better! ;-)
I've continued to be heavily involved in several projects, recently, but I did come across a very useful post if you are asked to give a presentation at a conference, or such. This is in the form of a personal testimony, by Jennifer Holik-Urban, Professional Genealogist, at her Family History Research blog.
I've enjoyed sharing Jennifer's stories of transitioning from hobby genealogy to professional genealogy. Her blog entries are always worth reading. This is another good one. I do enjoy knowing Thomas MacEntee, as well, a lot. I got to spend some time with him at the Kansas City Family History Expo. He can be a bit eccentric, but, he ALWAYS does really good work. That is the important thing. He has also taken on new professional challenges, including the items mentioned in this post. I want to be fully supportive and encouraging to his efforts as well. We will each, and all, benefit over time, I am confident!
Families are Forever! ;-)

Why You Never Add Water to Lye in Soap Making
Caustic Soda or lye is a necessary ingredient in the soap making process. However, it is this same ingredient that prevents most people from attempting cold process soap making. Most lye solutions consist of lye and distilled water. When making the lye solution there are a few key tips you want to remember. They are:
Wear your safety gear: safety goggles, mask, long sleeve shirts, pants, and gloves.
Always mix your lye solution in a well ventilated area (open windows, outside, garage, turn on the exhaust fan).
NEVER use glass or aluminum items for your soap making mixing containers or utensils. Glass can break, and aluminum does not play nicely with lye. It will cause a toxic, chemical reaction.
Lye is extremely caustic and can do severe damage. When water and lye are mixed together this is known as a lye solution. This mixing will also cause an exothermic reaction, this means that heat is given off as a byproduct of the chemical reaction occurring. Once the lye and water are stirred to make the lye solution, lye solution will become very hot, sometimes reaching 200 degrees.
When you are ready to make the lye solution, ALWAYS pour the lye into the water. One of the best tips that we have found to remember the order is to envision "a light snow falling into a pond."
When incorporating the two ingredients together you want to do it in a slow manner. You must sprinkle the lye in small doses into the water. In between each sprinkle, you will want to stir, stir, and stir. The lye mixture will become cloudy, and may give off fumes. Do not inhale these fumes. They are extremely hazardous.
NEVER POUR WATER INTO LYE!!! And NEVER ADD TOO MUCH LYE TOO FAST!!! Doing either one of these things will create a violent reaction known as a volcano effect. This happens because the water starts to dissolve the lye, forming a crust. This crust then seals in the chemical reaction occurring beneath it. The reaction can only handle being restrained from its own crust before the build-up of pressure and heat creates a burst or eruption. Hence the term- volcano effect.
If a volcano effect does occur, immediately spray your work area with vinegar. Vinegar will neutralize the caustic lye. Proceed by washing the area down with hot soapy water. Rinse area, and wash again with hot soapy water. Use paper towels to dry area.
So, to sum up this lesson in soap making: NEVER POUR WATER ONTO LYE….YOU WILL CREATE A LYE VOLCANO!!!! Create your lye solution by adding small amounts of lye to water and stir.

I can't help wishing to know about the buildings where my ancestors lived as well as about the homes they created. What interactions took place? What values were instilled in children as they grew? How were chores delegated? What games did the children play? It's easy to find some general information about families in different time periods but I wish I knew specific information about my own ancestral families.
Like most of us, our ancestors lived in houses and grew up in homes. To me, home is a place where a family lives, loves, gathers, works, plays, learns, and shares. It's the place which determines the path on which a child will begin his or her life's walk. That beginning at home effects the people our ancestors became.

RTC Conference Primers: #22 – Atlantic Sun ConferencePosted by nvr1983 on October 13th, 2010
Rush The Court is actively seeking a correspondent for the Atlantic Sun Conference. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a correspondent, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Predicted Order of Finish
- Belmont (16-4)
- East Tennessee State (15-5)
- Lipscomb (13-7)
- Campbell (12-8)
- Jacksonville (11-9)
- North Florida (10-10)
- Mercer (10-10)
- USC-Upstate (7-13)
- Kennesaw State (6-14)
- Stetson (5-15)
- Florida Gulf Coast (5-15)
All-Conference Team
- Markeith Cummings (F) – Kennesaw State (17.4 PPG and 6.1 RPG)
- Adnan Hodzic (C) – Lipscomb (22.7 PPG and 9.1 RPG; last year's A-Sun POY)
- Mike Smith (G) – ETSU (15.3 PPG and 7.7 RPG as a sophomore; injured last year)
- Josh Slater (G) – Lipscomb (17.1 PPG, 5.4 RPG, and 5.2 APG)
- Ian Clark (G) – Belmont (14.9 RPG and 3.3 RPG; last year's A-Sun Freshman of the Year)
Impact Newcomer
Fred Landers (F) – UNF. Normally we would go with Lester Wilson, a forward out of Knoxville who decided to stay in Tennessee when he signed with ETSU, but the glut of perimeter players on the Buccaneer roster will probably limit Wilson's playing time. Landers won't have such a problem at UNF where he should get plenty of playing time at power forward and should contribute immediately for a team with an anemic offense where their leading scorer only scored 9.0 PPG.
What You Need To Know
- Last year the conference regular season championship was mess with four teams having identical 14-6 conference records. That kind of parity should not be an issue this year as it seems like two teams (Belmont and ETSU) have separated themselves from the rest of the field.
- After responding surprisingly well to losing five seniors last season, Belmont returns a team that should be the dominant team in the conference for the next two to three seasons with only two seniors on this year's roster. Clark should be the driving force behind their push to make it back to the NCAA Tournament. You might remember the Bruins from their last trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2008 when they lost to #2 seed Duke by a single point in the opening round.
- While the Bruins will be relying on underclassmen, the Buccaneers will be relying on a strong group of seniors led by Mike Smith, a guard who was injured last year after only four games. Many expected the Buccaneers to fall apart after losing Smith, but they rebounded to make win the Atlantic Sun Tournament and make it to the NCAA Tournament before losing to #1 seeded Kentucky.
- If you are looking for a sleeper, keep an eye on Lipscomb who could be a threat with what might be the best 1-2 punch in the conference with Hodzic and Slater. If the Bisons are going to surprise Belmont and ETSU, those two will need help from Jordan Burgason (12.8 PPG) and Brandon Brown (10.4 PPG).
Predicted Champ
Belmont (NCAA Seed: #14). With their solid performance in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year last year, Rick Byrd should expect to make a trip back to the NCAA Tournament this year if they are able to overcome ETSU and Lipscomb. Even though the Bruins will rely heavily on Clark and Mick Hedgepeth (11.6 PPG and 6.5 RPG), they will need to get production out of Scott Saunders and Jon House on the inside and steady perimeter play from Drew Hanlen, Jonny Rice, and Jordan Campbell to win the Atlantic Sun.

Richard Kopf, a senior United States district judge in Nebraska, thinks the Supreme Court needs to learn when to "stfu."
Kopf made the recommendation in a post on his personal blog July 5, where he argued the recent Hobby Lobby ruling demonstrated the high court's need to stay away from "hot button cases."
"Next term is the time for the Supreme Court to go quiescent–this term and several past terms has proven that the Court is now causing more harm (division) to our democracy than good by deciding hot button cases that the Court has the power to avoid. As the kids says, it is time for the Court to stfu," Kopf wrote in the post, flagged Monday morning by Think Progress.
For effect, Kopf included a link to the Urban Dictionary page for "stfu."
"Acronym used for the phrase 'shut the fuck up' for efficiency reasons," the definition reads.
Kopf declined to comment further to Business Insider.
Kopf's personal blog caused another controversy in March when he wrote a post suggesting some female lawyers should "tone it down" and dress more conservatively.
Update (11:53 a.m.): Added Kopf declining to comment.

Last week witnessed a number of thought provoking and important commentaries that raise important questions on the status of investor trust, and what to do about it.
On Sunday, one-man think-tanker Ron Rhoades provided a detailed legal analysis in his blog of the background on the facts and circumstances determining the presence of fiduciary status, as a preface to commenting on the CFP Board's explanations for applying fiduciary status to CFP holders.
Ron's posting follows a recent piece by Allan Roth in The Wall Street Journal questioning the CFP Board's handling of a case brought against a CFP certificant and a piece by Andy Gluck on his website that questions the CFP Board's "definition" of fiduciary. Bob Clark of AdvisorOne addressed that same issue in a September 24 blog, with a response by the Board's CEO, Kevin Keller.
Rhoades zeroes in on the Board's claim that "financial planning or material elements of financial planning" must be present and that a certificant who only engages in one of the six subject areas of financial planning is not likely to be engaged in "material elements" of financial planning and is, according to the Board, not to be considered a fiduciary. Rhoades stresses this emphasis on "one subject area" and "material elements" has no basis in law, and appears to contradict legal precedents which indicate, according to Rhoades, that the provision of any advice "will likely give rise to the application of fiduciary status under state common law."
Reconciling CFP Board's definition of fiduciary status with state common law is a serious matter. Yet Rhodes may raise a more serious question: is the CFP Board's advertising misleading? Does it constitute, he asks, "fraudulent advertising by CFP Board?" CFP Board's advertising campaign suggests, Rhoades notes, that all CFPs are fiduciaries at all times. This suggestion seems to stand four square against the core CFP Board view noted above that by design and intent, all CFPs are not fiduciaries at all times.
This is arguably a more serious charge because it raises fundamental questions of judgment, ethics and law. It raises questions of precisely how CFP Board applies the fiduciary standard to advance the profession. It raises the question of trust.
I asked the CFP Board to respond to the Rhoades critique. Dan Drummond from the Board replied:
"Thanks for reaching out to us. We are aware of and read with great interest Ron Rhoades, CFP®'s thoughtful piece with regard to CFP Board's fiduciary standard. Mr. Rhoades makes some very interesting points that undoubtedly will engender further conversation on this important subject.
I would note that CFP Board's standard has been the subject of considerable discussion within the industry since CFP Board broke ground in 2007 by requiring all CFP professionals to be held to a fiduciary standard when providing financial planning services. CFP Board will continue to rigorously enforce all of our standards and, in concert with our Financial Planning Coalition partners, will continue to advance our public policy efforts to encourage the SEC to create a rule that extends a fiduciary standard to broker-dealers who provide retail investment advice.
We value input from our CFP professionals and the public."
Last Tuesday, at the Tiburon Strategic Advisors CEO Summit (where I spoke on the precarious status of the fiduciary standard) Tiburon CEO Chip Roame, opened the conference of some 200 C-level execs with a broad, detailed (114 slides) presentation on "The Future of Wealth Management." In this presentation, Roame covered the state of consumer wealth and baby boomer financial behavior, and industry stumbles and scandals. Here Roame said some things we usually don't hear at industy conferences from industry leaders.
For example, Roame opined that consumers generally view the whole industry as "appalling" and that consumers do not distinguish between good and bad guys: "The whole industry is evil." Consumers do not pick out certain industry participants and just blame these firms. Consumers blame all the players.
The takeaway? This is everyone's problem.

text: If you hear a former tobacco smoker talking about vaping, you might think that they have taken up some new drug habit or something that you have never heard of and probably would not want to try, but if you are a tobacco smoker too, you might want to read up and find out exactly what vaping is. It is very similar to smoking tobacco only there is no real tobacco used or any real smoke inhaled. You might wonder if they are are using some kind of fake tobacco, but no, they are not. However, an electric cigarette , known as a vape, user does still get the nicotine they want, the difference is that it is in a liquid form that is mixed with water and other ingredients to provide the taste and sensation of smoking tobacco.You might also wonder what the difference is then if the e-cigarette taste like tobacco and feels like smoking tobacco. The answer to that is there are a lot of buy eliquid that really matter when buying the best vapes. Burning tobacco produces toxic smoke and tar. This is what eventually causes disease and death to tobacco cigarette smokers. This is no secret to anyone. Everyone knows tobacco smoking is very hazardous to your health. While no one is trying to claim that even vaping is a wonderful thing to do, when compared to burning and inhaling tobacco, it is a much better choice because the ingredients found in the nicotine liquid of the e-cigarette are thought to be safe to use by most researchers and there is no tar. The fact that there is no tar alone makes it at least fifty percent better than smoking tobacco even without considering the differences in the chemical content of both products.The majority of substances used in the best e-liquid are water, flavorings, and nicotine. Another ingredient that you might never have heard of is propylene glycol. This is used to deliver the nicotine liquid to the user in the form of the vapor. Propylene glycol is already used in so many products you already use and is an FDA approved substance as are the other ingredients used. While the electric cigarette itself has not yet been FDA approved, it is hoped and believed that FDA approval is just around the corner.If you would like to try the electric cigarette as a replacement for your tobacco smoking, you can order a starter kit on-line for less than one hundred ponds. That might sound expensive, but when consider that you also get a whole bottle of vape juice which is the equivalence of ten packs of tobacco cigarettes in you see that you are not actually paying that much for the vaping device at all. Ten packs of tobacco cigarettes alone would cost you at least fifty dollars! One e-liquid filter is approximately the same as one pack of cigarettes and will last you all day.

So Cynwise & I have covered how to Ninja a node, now is the time to introduce, or refresh you in the A.B.C.'s of guarding a node
We all know our A.B.C.'s right…
They are…
A… B… C… blah, blah, blah… Next time won't you sing with me?
Sorry I've been hearing that a lot over the last few years and I tend to zone out after C… I am going to assume you will do the same.
A is for AoE
I can't remember if I mentioned AOE in my Ninja post, well without the prerequisite expletive attached, not only in my blog posts, but also in BG chat.
AoE's serve two purposes, both with the same end – to protect the flag.
AoE on the flag node prior to the appearance of a known threat.
- Magma totems
- Hunters traps
- Consecration
- Arcane Explosion, Blizzard
- The list goes on and on.
The purpose is two fold:
- Flush out the stealthy
- Interrupt the cap
Try not to get caught mid cast/channel with a "counterspell", but that's still better than being surprised.
In many ways Magma totem is the granddaddy of preventative AOE.
- It's cast and "forget"
- It flushes stealthies and interrupts capping
- It's premature disappearance is a sign of things to come – Ninjas!
- It's ranged, in the sense that a Shaman can drop it on the flag, then get appropriate a guarding position.
If you see a shaman at a node without a Magna totem on the flag, slap them for me, well gently prod them into placing one.
In the fog of war, it's difficult to detect the Gnomeaggedons in the mists.
- Most Rogues know to fan of knives the flag when it's under pressure.
- Most Mages know to Blizzard just the same.
- Most Healers know to heal the AOE dealers as a 1st priority.
- Most know, many of us forget on occasions.
We see BG chat up with
Watch the flag!
But we have that Pally at 5% and Pallies are everyone's KoS 2nd place… mongrels always pop back to 100% though and the flag gets capped.
It is everyone's responsibility, DPS, Healers, Pets, Your Mum, to AOE the flag – don't just watch it, AOE it!
When you hear "Smoke Bomb"… You do hear it don't you… You are running a vocalized DBM type mod like GladiatorlosSA aren't you?
Anyway, when you hear "Smoke Bomb", you know there is a Ninja in action. Direct damage, unless delivered from within the cloud is useless.
The only counter to a Smoke Bomb is AOE and most casters can deliver AOE from range. Blizzard the living crap out of that flag.
Watch the rogue. He'll try once, he'll try twice, he'll try 3 times before he accepts that his Smoke Bomb has been countered.
I normally laugh when warriors do their whirly-whirly, unless I am capping a flag, then it's SRS BNZ.
Find your AOE skills languishing in your spell books… at the very least put them on a toolbar, preferably keybind them and practice their use.
B is for Be.
It could also be for guarding the Bees, but it definitely not for Bonza Bludging Beer-gutted Bonkers Beautiful Boisterous (occasionally) Bashful Brilliant Behemoth Big Bear Butt
Although admittedly he could do all these things in a BG.
Be Aware
Do you drive a car?
Do you just stare straight ahead, or are you constantly scanning… left, right, back, front, back left, front left, front right, back right, up, down, turn around…
From now on, when you are guarding a node, I want you to make car noises… putt putt putt, Brrwaaah, RRRRWAR, Ziiiinnnngggg…
Whatever sound you want your car to be…
Make it…
Go on…
Did you? What did your Vent mates think? Ahh screw 'em… We know what we are doing.
So from now on you will drive your node, always aware of your environment, the mini-map, the mini-zone map (Shift-M)
… and make those car noises so you don't forget and you drive people bonkers…
Be visible
While its nice to ambush attackers, you are better off deterring them. Remember as good as HKs are, your objective is resources from unchallenged nodes.
There needs to be at least one visible guard. If that guard has pets (even non-combat pets will change your enemies tooltip on mouse over ), if they are rushing, the may assume each change of the tool tip is another guard.
Do you have picnic umbrellas?
Set one up at the node. I have two, so I set up both. They are an bold indication of physical presence, while obscuring visual line of sight.
Let's face it, who would set up a love umbrella just to sit by themselves? What, why are you pointing at me?
Be warned – they can also act as a non-binding taunt to players… but you were getting bored guarding the bees anyway.
You can also use cooking fires. The stealthy that sees multiple cooking fires will assume multiple stealthed defenders.
Be close, but not too close.
Cynwise has covered this already, better than I can, but just to reinforce this, imagine these two scenarios…
1) Hump-guarding the flag
A rogue approaches, saps and starts to cap. Each action smooth, instant and you know you have to stop him… So you trinket.
You just fell for Ninja Rogue trick 101… He will now blind you, your trinket is on cool down, ALL YOUR BASES ARE HIS!
2) Spitting distance from the flag
You are in love-tap range of the flag, but not on it.
A rogue approaches, saps and… Ohh damn, now they have to waste precious seconds running to the flag, they may even pointlessly blow their sprint cooldown… then start capping…
and the sap expires…
Love tap to stop the cap!
The rogue is pretty much screwed now.
The element of surprise has gone. You had plenty of time while sapped to call the inc.
They have to choose…
Persevere through the love taps – wont work, but they will still try 3 times, or
Run over to you to apply more CC and try again.
They are screwed both ways and we all love seeing rogues get screwed both ways.
You are now in control of the node again, they will preparation, cloak, vanish… knowing you have the counter to their Ninja… I think that makes you Samurai!
Be Supportive – buffs!
One thing you can do while guarding the node. You may not have died, you may still have the complete set of buffs, but most likely your team mates don't.
Throw out your buffs occasionally, especially when you see rezzers run by. What else were you using your mana for, go on, give your team whatever advantage you can.
Apart from Arcane Intellect, I always throw a macro'd Slowfall on rezzers when they pass me at Lumber Mill.
It's macro'd to whisper the recipient, to make sure they know they have it. I don't know what UI they have and the ping of a /whisper draws their attention and increases their options.
Be Supportive – don't debuff!
Unlike many of your teammates you are in a great position to analyze troop movements, yours and theirs.
Your team mates are focused on surviving, managing health and mana, managing cooldowns, they are by necessity micromanaging without the whole-of-BG view.
Just because you can see, doesn't mean you understand. How many times have you heard:
- WTF are you all doing at Stables?
- How the fuck did they cap the node with 14 of you there?
- Stop fighting on the fucking road you noobs!
- Stop trying to solo nodes!
- Thanks for the lack of help noobs, I called it and you didn't come!
Backseat drivers… everyfuckingbody hates them.
Maybe the reasons are:
- We got wiped and just rezzed at Stables.
- A good question, but some teams CC and confuse. Ultimately our hope is we can achieve the same result.
- I got ambushed on the road – or I'm preventing them getting to your node… 1 of me, 4 of them.
- A ninja cap can turn a game, not just earning points, but stopping rezzes and maybe splitting that mob creating trouble elsewhere. Ninja paranoia can tie multiple people at a node.
- Maybe, just maybe we were busy, or ambushed, or CC'd by a painful Frost Mage.
Backseat drivers only help when they are supportive, alerting about unknown threats. Otherwise, shut the fuck up!
Be Patient
Guarding the Bees is the pits.
It's boring, you will probably end up at the bottom of the BG table, below the guy that joined 1 minute before the game ended.
From your position you can see people screaming in agony while you play bejeweled. It itches in the back in your mind, all they need is one more body, this base will be fine, it's obvious all the enemy are out there not drinking cups of tea with you.
You need to be patient.
You need to resist the urge to "help".
You are currently performing the best, the most important role you can. You are ensuring the points keep ticking away, that the friendly respawns keep coming. You are ensuring the enemy doesn't race away on points while the others struggle at the nodes (and remember, they are probably dying, and you don't want to die).
An unguarded node is a free gift, possibly a free win to your opponent. The only thing worse than a node being ninja capped from under you is leaving the node abandoned for your opponents.
C is for Cat – Der!
Ok, so C is really for Cat, but in relation to this post C is for Calling Incs.
Your node
In sure you don't need to be told to call incs to the node you are on, and early, as soon as you see then turn down your branch of the road of possible, but…
If you think there is a stealthy at your node – Say so now, not when you are sapped & capped.
By calling early you give your team mates the opportunity to travel in parallel to the enemy, maybe arriving at the same time as them, maybe scaring them off when they see the support already on the way before they reach the node.
What the 1st thing you think of when nodes are supported super quick?
But often it isn't, it's just observant people with early calls enabling them to control the node while you straggle in to die.
Hunter or Druid stealthed, maybe waiting for an opportunity to ninja? Call all the movements you can see on your mini map, especially the stealthies rushing unstealthed to a node.
Their node
Calling incomings to nodes they control allows those on the battlefield to make decisions about which node to hit next, as well as giving some indication of the next node in their plan.
On the road
Where are your opponents on the road, which way are they heading, what the hell are they up to… supporting, attacking, retreating… let people know!
Joining the fight.
Telling your fighters who is about to join a battle is important. Sometimes your abilities come off cooldown and you think…
Last one… I'm going to destroy them
Only to discover 3 of their mates rolling in.
3 more that your blown cooldowns are required for.
Getting the heads up on the troop movements can make or break node defense.
Keeping your eyes on the prize
Whatever you do while you recite your ABCs, whether you are calling troop movements, slowfalling your team mates for a soft landing, scanning the sky, even having a picnic, there is one thing you never want your eyes off for more than 2 seconds.
Drive your node safely from beginning to end. The road is filled with many distractions, but until you can keep your node safe, there is little point in lusting after theirs.
Now altogether…
Slap a Shaman today…
Love tap to stop the cap!
Make those car noise and…
A… B… C… blah, blah, blah… Next time won't you sing with me?
Gnomer and Out!

Android app reviews move to Google+ ID system
Google has made it obligatory for Google+ account details to be displayed alongside new reviews of Android apps on its Play store.
Previously posts could be submitted anonymously.
The move means the reviewer's name and profile photo - if they have one - will appear alongside their entry.
One developer said the change should help address the problem of fake reviews. It may also boost use of the search giant's social network.
When users attempt to post a review, they will be presented with a pop-up box notifying them of the new policy.
The nicknames that used to appear alongside previous entries have all been deleted and replaced with "A Google User".
Facebook's app centre already requires users to reveal their "real" Facebook identity alongside entries.
But Apple, Microsoft, Blackberry and Amazon's equivalents all allow reviewers to use pseudonyms.
Google+'s terms and conditions state that profile names must match "the name your friends, family or co-workers usually call you".
Fake reviews
In October, Google announced there were more than 700,000 apps in its store.
With so many to choose from, many consumers base their picks on whether the software has a high star rating and the number of people who have reviewed it,
One industry watcher said this had given developers an incentive to "game" the results.
"It's very easy to have apps that have nothing but fake high-scoring reviews," Mark Mulligan, editor of the Media Industry Blog, said,
"It's only once many people have fallen victim to that and have added their real reviews that the tactic stops working. This is definitely a good move in solving the problem."
Ian Wharton, creative director of Zolmo - the firm behind Jamie Oliver's 20 Minute Meals app - also welcomed Google's change in policy.
"We've seen companies release an app and then hundreds of their own employees end up rating them, which is a very disingenuous way to go about things.
"It's a good thing that there's now a face and a name. App stores are becoming so saturated with content that any effort to strip away falseness and make them more transparent can only make it easier to find good content.
"If Apple did something similar it could only make our life better."
Social network support
The move may help the fortunes of Google's social network,
Android is the most commonly used smartphone system. Device owners had previously needed a Google Account to download apps from its store and use some of its other services - but this had not involved setting up a Google+ profile.
They now have an extra incentive to do so. It follows an earlier announcement that Google had decided to allow users to link their YouTube and Google+ profiles.
"Facebook is still clearly the dominant social network player, but Google+ does have momentum and there is plenty to suggest it could make up a lot of further ground," said Mr Mulligan.
"One of the key tools Google has to its advantage is all the bits of its own ecosystem - it can promote the service by making it the glue that binds together all of its assets."
He noted that this kind of move represented a growing trend, with another example being the way Microsoft had tied its Xbox Live product into its new Windows Phone 8 operating system via its Xbox Music Store.
However, companies need to be careful about the extent to which they cross-pollinate their offerings.
The EU is already carrying out an investigation into the Google's placing of its services in its own search results, and reports suggest US watchdog the Federal Trade Commission is considering its own probe.
Google has denied manipulating the results to favour its own products.

When he isn't starring in movies with Kate Hudson, walking around shirtless, or playing bongos naked, heartthrob Matthew McConaughey is actually turning himself into something of a little mini-mogul. Who'd have guessed he had ambition? Today Deadline reports the actor will help produce "Kick Ass Militia," a new FX comedy about brothers living in a compound. Here are the details:
…the single-camera comedy is based on source material by JR Reed, an old friend of McConaughey's. It centers on two brothers whose divergent views are always pitting them against each other on their Malibu compound – one a survivalist and one a free-loving cult leader. Marc Hyman is writing the script and is executive producing Militia, now in development, with McConaughey.
FX is currently home to "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," "The League" and "Archer." All of those shows have a few things in common. They're all aggressively male comedies. They all deploy R-rated humor. And they're all quite funny. So it's safe to assume that McConaughey's new show will also be gleefully crude and offensive. In the right hands, like on "Sunny," this is good stuff. In the wrong hands, it can all go horribly wrong. It's impossible to know what kind of producer McConaughey will be, or to know if he has a solid eye for comedic talent. He did play one of the great comedic roles of all time (Wooderson in "Dazed and Confused") though, so that's a nice feather in his cap.
Deadline also notes McConaughey is also developing comedies for Starz and Fox. Man, it's almost like this guy WORKS. That is soooo not the Matthew McConaughey we all know and love.

There comes a time when we all want some inspiration; when we have finally run out of ideas on how to look both cool and stylish, and when we want to create a great first impression. In this section, you will find a range of ideas on how you too can maintain the image you wish to portray to your peers and business colleagues.
Today's women desire to be stylish, but also need multi-function and sophistication in sporting items we carry around, such as tennis bags, which makes Court Couture the perfect choice in designer tennis bags for today's modern woman.
Luxury, fashionable, practical, designer, roomy and durable…is there anything else today's modern woman could ask for when choosing a designer tennis bag? We think not!
No-one wants a tacky, nylon sports bag when attending a tennis function. Most women will want the kudos of carrying a designer tennis bag to today's post-match parties.
The right price for anything is determined by how much you feel is worth spending on a particular product, such as a designer tennis bag. Having said that, we all like to feel as if we are capable of bagging a bargain, which is why it is always the right time to search through our sales page.
There are certain essentials which we ladies cannot do without and sometimes it is difficult to carry everything you need especially if you are going to play tennis straight from the office. So how to stuff your tennis bag is very important. This is where the designer tennis bags for women from Court Couture come into their own. Not only are they heavenly stylish, they are also large enough to carry all the essentials which you need.
I believe it takes a tennis player to design a tennis bag for women. Armed with my knowledge and inspiration from travelling around the world, and then taking advice from my tennis playing friends, the Court Couture Cassanova range was devised in a corner of Silicon Valley in California, on a warm summer's day in 2009.
Large or small, shoulder or across the body; no matter what your needs are in a tennis bag, Court Couture have the right choice for you.
Have you run out of gift ideas for the woman who has everything? Why not consider buying a designer tennis bag or gift certificate to make that special woman in your life feel even more special.
No matter how stylish and fashionable you want to be, there will always be a need for comfort as well. Court Couture gives you the chance to be everything you wish to be, all wrapped up in our designer tennis bags, which are fashionable and comfortable.
A tote bag is defined as a large bag which is used for carrying a number of items; Court Couture is proud of our collection of designer tennis tote bags for women, all at value for money prices.

I installed openSUSE LEAP-42.2 on my Toshiba Z930 laptop, and also on my Core-i7 custom PC over the Christmas break. Both PCs use EFI and I am not very experienced with EFI, so I thought that this might be a good learning experience. The downside was I was doing this with a head cold (ie headache, mild-fever, stuff sinus, hacking cough ... etc .. which is not the smartest condition to be in when trying something new).
The Toshiba Z930 laptop installation experience was very smooth

This post provides my current views on openSUSE-LEAP currently at v.42.1.
I originally composed a version of this as a reply to an openSUSE user's questions, and decided to modify it slightly and make it into a 'blog post'.
This is the 1st of 2 parts.
This is my thinking as to the logic and discussions that lead to openSUSE LEAP-42.1. It is not original thinking but rather it comes from reading many posts of many other people far more knowledgeable and far
When updating my 89-year old mother's PC, I found it very useful to be able to reboot (one time only) from one boot partition direct to another partition on her PC.
Why ?
I live in Europe, and my mother lives in North America. I find this is very useful when I am accessing her PC remotely (from Europe, when her PC is in North America), and I need to access a different partition on her PC, and I do not want to ask her to reboot the PC.
To perform the reboot,

I had an interesting experience today with my +88-year-old mother's computer (running openSUSE-13.1), which is a continent away. After returning from an out-of-country business trip late in the evening the previous night, I woke up this morning to find out that I had received an SMS and email from my sister, who lives in same city as my mother, that my mother's GNU/Linux computer had major problems and was refusing to boot. My sister sent me this picture of the boot screen:

Former Maricopa County Republican Chairman Larry Pickard Endorses Lisa Gray for County Chairman
Phoenix – Larry Pickard, a successful Chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party, knows what it takes to build an effective grassroots party that gets candidates elected. "I have watched Lisa Gray in action as she built an award-winning district, led successful fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts, and helped the No-on-121 committee soundly defeat the Top Two Primary initiative in Arizona," said Pickard. "This is the kind of party building that we need in Maricopa County! Please join me in supporting Lisa and her Arizona Party Builders Team at the Maricopa County Republican Statutory meeting on Saturday, January 12th."
"I am honored to have a former Maricopa County Chairman of Larry's stature join the growing numbers of those supporting me and my team," said Gray. "Larry is a Precinct Committeeman in my district and has witnessed my work ethic and passion that I will bring to this position."
Lisa Gray and her team, Paul Brierley, 1st Vice Chairman; Rene Lopez, 2nd Vice Chairman; Colleen Lombard, Secretary; and Walter Dudley, Treasurer, represent a broad segment of the County and have a combined 45 years of grassroots Republican leadership experience. Known as the Arizona Party Builders because their focus will be on building the Party to win elections.
About Lisa Gray
Lisa is a grassroots, conservative leader in the Northwest Valley, working with Republicans and Tea Party activists. She has served as LD9 and LD21 District Chairman, LD9 Second Vice Chairman, Sun City Republican Club President and Northwest Valley Tea Party Co-Leader. She was also a plaintiff against Proposition 121, which was not only detrimental to the Republican Party, but also to all Arizona voters. Speaker Pro-Tempore JD Mesnard, Rep. Debbie Lesko, and Republican National Committeeman Bruce Ash are just a few of the conservative leaders who have endorsed Lisa and her team to lead the Maricopa County Republican Party.

With the increasing demand for greater comfort in helicopter operations, manufacturers are increasingly turning to active vibration control systems (AVCS) to reduce the vibrations being produced by the rotor and transmission systems within the aircraft.
Sikorsky has already put active vibration control on its S-76D, and Bell Helicopter will add Lord Corporation's AVCS on the next-generation 525 Relentless, while Airbus Helicopters will equip its new EC130-T2 with the system. The U.S. Marine Corps will also use Lord systems on its future Sikorsky CH-53K to isolate and eliminate vibrations from the aircraft's three GE engines.
AgustaWestland already uses AVCS on the AW139 and has asked Lord to proceed with qualification of its OMNI AVCS for other AgustaWestland models coming down the line. Lord will use a common design approach with core components that will allow AgustaWestland to customize each system for each model within the manufacturer's family of helicopters.
This common design of core components also allows AVCS to be adapted to the different manufacturers as well as models developed by a single manufacturer, according to Lord. The OMNI system "uses a scalable architecture in terms of circular force generator output and the number of actuators used," the company stated.
