Revision of Revized WoW-Pro Addon from Thu, 2010-02-25 21:40
As many of you are aware of by now, Tour Guide has been purchased by Zygor for use with his pay-for-use leveling guides. It is expected that we will be asked to take down our addon, as it uses Tour Guide code as a base. Users are welcome to continue using any versions of our guide addon currently on their PCs, but we will most likely no longer be able to distribute the addon.
For more background on the situation, see Tekkub's (Tour Guide's author) blog:
More on what this means for us after the break.
What this means for our addon: Don't worry, it's not the end of the world! With Cataclysm and a huge revision of all the guides on the horizon anyway, this is the best time for this to have happened. WoW-Pro will be coding it's very own addon, possibly using the old addon Jahwo was working on as a base.
What we need from the community: First of all, patience. We will do our best to come out with an up to date, new addon quickly, but it will take time.
Secondly, we need input! Please post here with suggestions for features you'd like to see in the new addon.
Thirdly, we need help! We have a couple experienced coders in the moderator group here at WoW-Pro, but many of us are busy with RL activities and may not have a lot of time to devote to so huge a project. If you are experienced with addon writing, let us know and we'll see if we can put you to work!
Core feature list:
- Check-able list of steps with the ability to access more detailed descriptions for each step.
- Arrow pointing the way to coordinates associated with each step, and/or interaction with other arrow addons such as TomTom, Cartographer, and Carbonite.
- Ability to read Tour Guide format guide files.
- For now, ability to pull NPC coordinates from Lightheaded database. However, by default, hard-coded coordinates should override database coordinates. In the future, we should hard-code NPC coordinates in order to make our addon self-reliant.
Additional Feature List:
- Auto-completion, checking the user's completed quests and auto-checking off steps accordingly. The ability to input multiple completed quest requirements and and/or logic might be nice. Example: A fly to the area step that completes when the player enters the area, OR if they have completed all the quests in that section. This is a lower priority feature of the auto-completion.
- Integration of the arrow (as a separate, toggle-able module), and preferably a version more like Cartographer's than TomTom's, which changes color based on distance rather than direction. Maintain the ability to use other addons if the user desires (such as TomTom, Cartographer, or Carbonite).
- Create a "plug and play" functionality for the addon, so that guide for tradeskills, talents, money making, and all sorts of other things can be added. Essentially we would like to use one interface to run all the modules, so it looks and feels the same. Additional windows etc might be needed for individual modules, however (the talent module comes to mind).
- Additional step tags, specifically a "use" tag for non-inventory items (world objects) which will recognize when the corresponding quest objective is complete.
- Customization of the window: ability to choose how many steps are shown and how much information for each step. Possible options:
- Mouse-over (one liner with mouse-over like Tour Guide)
- Short (mouse-over info displayed at all times
- Detailed (more like Jame's paper guides, with lots of detailed information)
- Improved path / area coordinates. Some ideas:
- Ability to list a "path" without having to clutter up the note with a ton of coordinates. Preferably, a way to list coordinates hidden from display.
- Map markings, for point locations, paths, and areas. Quest-helper has areas, I'm not sure what it would take to do this but it's really nice looking and would be awesome for quests where you just need to kill everything in an area.
- Improved logic/display for multi-objective steps. Not exactly sure how this would work, but perhaps have "substeps" which are displayed together, and checked off as they are completed.
- For guide coders, I'd like to see a little more formatting ability for the mouse over notes. There were many times I'd wanted to add new lines to improve readability, and was unable to.
Guide File Updates:
- Include quest tags for each step (not just quest steps) so they will be auto-completed properly (I understand this was already being done when the addon switch was initiated).
- Our own coordinates for quest givers and turn ins. Lightheaded sometimes lists incorrect coordinates for some NPCs due to NPC movement. It would also just make it easier for users so they don't need multiple addons.
Possible Future Addons:
- WoW-Pro Talents - Easy talent recommendations while leveling, for all specs. Possibly include rotation suggestions as well. For players jumping in partway through, it should be able to detect their current talent changes and adjust accordingly, or recommend a respec if the talents are too messed up. Talents should be prioritized to make sure people pick up the most vital ones. Recommendations of glyphs would also be nice.
- WoW-Pro Gold Making - Daily quests, gathering/farming circuits, perhaps even auctioneer advice.
- WoW-Pro Reputation - Reputation guides created using the addon.
- WoW-Pro Holiday - Holiday guides created using the addon.
- WoW-Pro Achievements - Other achievement guides.
Please give us your input! We want to make this addon the best it can be for you, our users. Please let us know what you'd like to see in the new addon!

Guide for "Farming"
Submitted by vachon8449 on Thu, 2014-10-23 06:04.
I was just wondering, is it possible, or not that much call, for a guide to let us know where and how to farm things such as Frostweave cloth or Sungrass or some such things.
Another request, of course, this is probably there and I'm just missing it, but a legend that lets us know what the conventions mean in the professions guide? For instance, at the moment, I'm using the tailoring guide, but I'm unsure what (and of course, I started using it when I was already level 398 in tailoring so the guide jumped to the correct spot for me.) 8:Bolt of Frostweave:40:130:1:Ethernium Thread:5:35 means. in the step for Duskweave Wristwraps. I kind of figured out, it takes 8 frostweave bolts to make one Duskweave Wristwrap. That it takes 5 frostweave cloths to make one bolt therefore, the 40. It needs 1 Ethernium Thread. What is confusing me is the 130 and the 5:35. In the step above, Duskweave Leggings: Craft these from 404 to 405. Materials: 8 Bolt of Frostweave (8/138) 1 Ethernium Thread (1/36). Does the 130 and 35 in the following step correspond to the (8/138) and (1/36) respecfivly? In other words, are those numbers the estimated numbers needed to level to the appropriate place? I mean, it's estimated that it will take me between 40 and 138 Wristwraps to get to the next level due to the item turning yellow and green before I reach it? If that's the case, then I guess I'm not confused at all. :)
I thnk I just talked my way into understanding. However, in case I'm wrong, and also for anyone else that might be confused and not able to talk themselves into the understanding, I think I'm going to leave this in. Hopefully, it helps someone else understand. If I'm correct, that is.
Farming Guides
Submitted by Emmaleah on Thu, 2014-10-23 07:38.
While I love this addon and think its the coolest, I think Routes with Gathermate wil give you better what you are asking for. Also another good resource is the farming and profession leveling guides on wow-professions.com. There is also an android app that has the farming guides so you can see them on your phone :) I assume its made by the creaters of wow-professions since it seems to be the same work.
I don't really know anything about the wow-pro profession guides (other than that they exist) so I can't help you out there.

Bug Report
Submitted by vachon8449 on Wed, 2014-10-22 22:25.
This has been happening, but I've not really read it until now. My guide is
telling me to report a bug.
"WoWPro: Resetting Guide EmmTow8990 due to upgrade. Forgetting skipped steps.
WoWPro No closest waypoint? Please report a bug: Guide EmmTow8990, Step N
[Abandoned Crate of Goods]
WoWPro: ALCD3: delta 757.783548,757.783548"
There was more, but I don't think they were part of the "report bug" thing. I think the rest was simply stating in chat window what wow-pro was doing. I.E. "Wowpro: Discovered Flight Point; [Longying Outpost]" and "AL:LFO ZC to 807/0." I'm thinking things like that are normal.
Do you want us to report all these things everytime? I'd hate to "double" report something someone else has already reported, but I'm not sure how to find out what was reported or if what I'm encountering was the first time it's come up.
BTW, I'd like to say again, thank you for an awesome guide. I'm still having issues with waypoints pointing me in the wrong direction at times. Frustrating, but I know, there are so many variables to the waypoint thing. What direction did you guys come from when setting it, what direction did I come from, what angles did we take to get there, etc etc. I am finding that once I hit a partial waypoint, (i.e. 1/3) if I very off the path slightly, the guide directs me back to the first waypoint rather than the next one I was going for. Not sure if that's a setting in config I have set wrong or what. But has caused me to use a colorful mediphore or two. :)
Thanks again,
edit: I saved and got that stuff at the beginning. Not sure what would happen if I delete it. I typed most of this in word and copy and pasted it, which might be it. But I'm a little concerned that if I delete it, it will make the word portion unreadable. Sorry if it's not needed and I should have deleted it. Let me know and I'll fix it in future posts.
Re: Bug Report
Submitted by Ludovicus_Maior on Thu, 2014-10-23 01:48.
Some things in the chat logs are just informational messages that we should demote to debug messages.
At one point, discovery of flight points and automatic select were new features, so we printed out messsages saying what the addon was doing. Now that the feature is mature, it makes sense to demote the messages. Problem is that we get used to them and dont see them any more even when they stare at us in the face.
So I ask you to report any messages. If I give you are resason why we need to keep it around, see if you agree with me. I don't mind being challenged. But I may just say "oh, yeah, I'll get rid of that".
PS: The waypoints getting reset on sequences is a sore point I have tried to fix a few times. The problem is that I have to solve is that the waypoints get set every time the guide updates, which include a ton of conditions like going in and out of combat, zone changes and other things you cant imagine. But you may have "eaten" one or more waypoints out of a set. Recoginzing that the new waypoint setting is a super set of the existing waypoint set and that it should or should not be reset is tricky.
PPS: I would rather have a double or triple report than an omitted report.
PPPS: If you are seeing "AL:LFO ZC", you have not updated to the official TomTom and you are naughty.
PPPPS: You should post to the Towlong Steppes guide and yell at Emmaleah about the [Abandoned Crate of Goods]!
Submitted by Emmaleah on Thu, 2014-10-23 07:29.
But, but... I don't want to be yelled at... ok ok. Ill go look at it.
I looked at it, There is a waypoint in there, so I dont know why it is complaining. Perhaps the map has chanaged / shifted so that isn't a valid waypoint?
Its one of those treasure steps that have to be manually checked off. It looks like I put it to a CC tag so it could auto complete. Perhaps it could be changed to an A step with the QID for the tracking quest.
Perhaps changing the note to say check this step off when you are done is the best way to deal with it? I will run over there on beta (because I dont have any live characters who havent picked it up ) and see If I can determine a better way to handle it.

Bug Report
Submitted by vachon8449 on Thu, 2014-10-23 05:32.
I thouoght I had updated to the official TomTom. I went to the site that was in one of your posts. Deleted the old files and installed from the current download. This is the file I've downloaded, "Ludo_TomTom_for_WoD_2014_1018" I downloaded it on 10/19/2014. Is that the official one? If not, where can I get it? I hate using third party things as they inevitably don't work correctly. I'm also using "WoWPro+v6.0.0C" is that the latest and greatest? I downloaded that on 10/18/2014.
TomTom update
Submitted by Dez on Thu, 2014-10-23 06:09.
Try the WoWInterface page
This is (mostly) working for me; with the exception that I sometimes must right-click the guide step and select "Map Coordinates" for TomTom arrow to show up/point the right way..
TomTom update
Submitted by vachon8449 on Fri, 2014-10-24 03:25.
That worked. Not sure where I got the idea to use the Ludo_TomTom_for_WoD_2014_1018 version, but it's working without all those messages.
sticky tag

What is the tag for sticky steps and how is it used? I'd like to modify the 30-60 a bit as I go (I know they're being replaced, it's just to keep me from being completely bored until Cata drops) for my own personal use. Even better, could someone share a link with a full list of tags and their use if it exists?

In praise of Dugi (and his guide)
Submitted by Panther1224 on Fri, 2010-07-23 17:41.
I am a new reader and subscriber to this forum and I mainly joined to reply to some of the comments made about Dugi and his guides.
First, I have to say that Dugi's guide works very well, I have never had any problems at all with anything, and I own them all.
Ok, many users of your guides may wonder why people buy guides. Well, you have to take into consideration that the price includes free updates forever, and the updates are quickly put into place. This is worth a lot in itself, I don't particularly want to wait months for an updated version to appear. (I had a quick look at one of the guides on this website, it still talks about "collecting wolf meat" at the beginning of the Human training quests. That is about six months behind the times) Its great having free guides but they are pretty useless if they are not up to date, particularly as your members see fit to slag off ones that are.
I have always found dugi and his team polite and very obliging when I have needed to contact them, that is also hard to find most of the time and worth payin for.
In short I am happy with my Dugi's guide and see no reason to replace it.
I am not writing this as I have any axe to grind with this website or the ppl that run it, I will read it and I am sure there is much here that is useful. But I fail to see why there is any need to attack other guides.
Best wishes
If by "collecting wolf meat"
Submitted by Marcdepuma on Sun, 2010-08-01 02:44.
If by "collecting wolf meat" you are referring to one of the first quests in the human starting zone, you still do that quest. Also, your post seems more like an advert for Duigi than a real critique of the WoW-pro guides.
That said, you do have one good point, the guides are way out of date and that is detrimental to new members enjoying this site. I don't refer just to the levelling guides, but to most of them. Perhaps when a guide has been on since before BC one might consider removing them?
Otherwise, I love this site.
I am HUGELY impressed that
Submitted by Brune on Sat, 2010-07-24 05:33.
I am HUGELY impressed that as a TOTAL new reader who has NEVER visited this site before and is OBVIOUSLY in no way affiliated with Dugi has the commitment to trawl through literally hundreds of posts to find posts criticising Dugi, and raise your objections.
I salute your commitment in doing this for OBVIOUSLY NO PERSONAL GAIN WHATSOEVER, and purely out of a need to present fairly a paid guide which you have ABSOLUTELY no association with.
Submitted by Panther1224 on Sat, 2010-07-24 10:36.
You are quite correct that I have no association with Dugi, I do not, other than using his guide, you are quite wrong that I trawled through the whole forum looking for comments about Dugi and his guide. I saw one which said tht Dugi's guide was a lot more expensive than Zygor. (It isn't) there were several replies to that comment.
What is it with people on this forum that they just want to slag everyone else off.
As far as I know there is nothing wrong with Dugi's guide and nothing wrong with the ppl who use it.
I'm not attaking this site or what you are doing here, as I have said before, it is fine.
Try to get on with folks.
Not useless.
Submitted by Panther1224 on Sat, 2010-07-24 01:36.
I didn't say all the guides on this site are useless, I said that guides that are out of date are useless, and they are, how can you work accurately from an out of date guide. But mainly I was making the point that part of the price of Dugi's guide is for quick and accurate updates.
I am not attacking the guides here, I'm sure they are very useful, as I said before. Tonite I started levelling a blood elf warlock with the ingame guide from here and it worked fine.
I think Dugi came on to this website because what had been written about his guide was just not true, I am refering to the price comparison between his guide and Zygor. Surely he was entitled to do so.
There is nothing wrong with Dugi's guide, or the people who use it, so what is the point in slagging it off and making personal attacks on other who happen to disagree with you.
Well, I don't know what has
Submitted by Panther1224 on Sat, 2010-07-24 22:45.
Well, I don't know what has occurred in the past between you and Dugi or anyone else.
As I have said I am nothing to do with Dugi, or any other site.
BUT, I find your attitude strange. You seem to be saying "anyone who disagrees with anything posted here can get off our site."
A forum is all about discussion. I joined this forum because I genuiely wanted to see what your guides were all about.
So far all I have seen is some rather rude and aggressive people who just seem to want to cause aggrevation.
This is all rather sad because the concept of free guides, written by players for players is a great idea. But if others get the welcome I got I dont see them staying long. Much like myself.
So I will wish you a fond farewell. (Or perhaps not so fond)
Using the Guide
Submitted by SkywardDown on Wed, 2010-07-21 07:51.
The guide was very accurate from 1-30ish but then fell apart. But 70-80 it picked back up and was on spot.
I figured out if I just random dungeon from 30-68 it would be easy, which it was.
I'm just guessing this guide is for the hardcore Quester out there cause random dungeoning just makes leveling quick and easy.
Maybe you could add a guide where if you do a few quest then, let say grind a dungeon, and come out higher level than the guide then there would be a option for a pick up guide from your level not one with pre chain quest. like part 2\2 of any quest. Considering you didn't do part 1\2, but instead went to a random dungeon.
Auto-complete on level
Submitted by Silvann on Tue, 2010-07-20 11:07.
I noticed that the addon does not support auto-completion based on level, like "Grind until level 2" (unless I missed it). Is it worth it in Cataclysm?
Frame resizing/text messing up
Submitted by Brune on Tue, 2010-07-20 08:25.
I was wondering what caused this for a while, but then I realised that when you resize the frame or finish objectives while in combat, the frame messes up until you resize it.
Maw's Guide - Waypoint bugs
Submitted by ventismith on Mon, 2010-07-19 16:32.
I'm not sure where the best place to post this at, but since it seems to be related to the new addon I'll post it here.
Playing through Maw's guide for Loch Modan and Westfall, it tells me to follow the waypoints at three locations to get to my destination. The problem is only the first waypoint is created.
I'm not sure if this is a universal error, but it'd be great if it'd be fixed.

Might be something stuffing
Submitted by Brune on Thu, 2010-07-15 09:09.
Might be something stuffing up on my end, but if I don't have a guide loaded and click on the checkbox next to 'no guide loaded' my client locks up.
Like this a lot more than the mess there was previously with no guide loaded though
Well that does explain it
Submitted by Brune on Sat, 2010-07-17 04:53.
Well that does explain it
Another issue which you may not be able to get around with coding is that, for quests such as Disrupt their Reinforcements (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=10208/disrupt-their-reinforcements) in HFP the addon calls for you to collect 4 Demonic Runestones, Disrupt Xilus, collect 4 more and then disrupt Kruul. Unfortunately, in quests like this, after you get the first 4 the second 4 removes itself from the to do list too. Since the coord of the second (in this case) demon gate is linked to the second gathering of the demonstones, you also lose that information when it happens.
Don't really know much about the addon, but presumably the fix is telling you to collect 8, go here when you have 4, then go to the next one (which appears after you reach the first tomtom coord) and get another 4.
That makes about as much sense as I can make it, hope it's understandable
It's looking pretty nice,

It's looking pretty nice, good job Jiyambi! I don't really have free time right now, but eventually I'll be able to help with the future WoW-Pro addons. Once the WoW-Pro addon is in beta and when I have more free time and such, I'll send you a PM to see if you need further help.

Another request - quick hide/resize
Submitted by BrianAT on Sat, 2010-06-26 16:34.
This was sort of requested before, but I am going to modify the request. I was playing today and got in a battleground and the guide takes up lots of room. One could resize the box by using the bottom right, but a "-" in the top right would be better, when clicked it would do a quick shrink to just that icon which then changes to a "+" which restores it to the last set size. This way a minimize in Battleground/Dungeons option doesn't need added to the options with the logic for it, just a quick minimize and restore button.
Speaking of said menus though, it would be nice if eventually you could set the default size in PvE/PvP areas, Battlegrounds and Dungeons. The last two we don't want to always hide the guide (we probably do if the Battleground and Dungeon modules aren't loaded, and for now until those modules are created) as when it enters one of those it should switch to the correct module and load up the guide for that Battleground/Dungeon. The menu would give the option to always minimize, set a default size in each, etc.
Quest tracking I would also push up the priority list, so we can track "mob x of y killed".
The add-on in fairly stable, and I think nearly ready for Beta, once the guide loading issues that remain are resolved (and lots of those were still in the TourGuide version anyhow), and we get a quick minimize/restore (the quest tracking would be nice, but not needed to push to Beta).
Item button? Is that the

Is that the part that puts an icon of the item next to the stop so when it comes up you just use it without having to go to your bags?
New Tag Suggestion
Submitted by BrianAT on Sat, 2010-06-26 14:36.
May I suggest a |P| tag for Profession for profession level quests? I am using Manovan's Night Elf Starter, and one of the steps is available only if you are an alchemist. Both Manovan's and Taralom's Night Elf guides have a quest that is available only if you have the Cooking profession. Both guides have a note right before to get Cooking to get the quest, but if somebody closes out of it and goes on, then the quest wouldn't show up. The tag would work just like |R| for Race and |C| for Class.
So a step might read:
A Recipe of the Kaldorei |QID|4161| |P|Cooking|
If the API even allows for knowing a character's professions (I am guessing it is in the TradeSkill Functions, probably GetTradeSkillInfo, but I am too sleepy to read everything at this point).

Accumulating carbon and nitrogen stable isotope data from fossil humans in Europe is pointing towards a significant shift in the range of animal resources exploited with the spread of modern humans into Europe 40,000 years ago.
Both the preceding Neandertals and the incoming modern humans regularly and successfully hunted large game such as deer, cattle and horses, as well as occasionally killing larger or more dangerous animals. There is little evidence for the regular eating of fish by the Neandertals.
However, the stable isotope data published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Erik Trinkaus, professor of anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, and Michael Richards of the University of British Columbia and the Max Planck Institute, suggests that at least some of the European early modern humans consistently consumed fish, supplementing their diet of terrestrial animals.
It is likely that this greater emphasis on small, harder to obtain, sources of protein reflects growing human populations in Europe and the pressure they placed on their environments.<

Commissioners highlight child safety
According to statistics gathered over the years, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths for children ages 2 through 12 in the United States; every year, thousands of children are tragically injured or killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes.The Elk County Commissioners yesterday adopted a proclamation declaring Sept. 18-24 as Child Passenger Safety Week.The document showed that all 50 states have laws requiring the use of child safety seats for children traveling in motor vehicles. All parents and caregivers are encouraged to make sure their children are buckled up anytime they ride in a motor vehicle; statistics show that three out of four child safety seats are not used properly.According to the proclamation read by Elk County Commissioner Ronald T. Beimel, parents and caregivers are encouraged to make sure that all children are appropriately buckled up every time they ride in a motor vehicle."During Child Passenger Safety Week, there will be hundreds of free child safety seat inspection stations set up across the country," Beimel said.Dawn Walls, a safety press officer at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Clearfield office, attended the meeting Tuesday morning to help raise awareness for child safety in motor vehicles."I don't get to travel often to commissioners' meetings, so I appreciate the opportunity," Walls said. "Part of my job is to get out into the public and do everything I can to prevent awareness and prevent these tragedies from occurring on the roadway. This is one small facet to my job, but it is very dear to my heart because it is the leading cause of deaths for our young children."

First Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics trailer
A little while back we wrote an article called 'Fatality! Do We Still Care About Mortal Kombat?'.
And now that the actual title of Mortal Kombat 8 has been revealed, we continue to ask the question.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Comics is certainly a different direction for the franchise, but is it the right one.
Anyone worried about why DC Comics would allow the likes of Batman and Wonder Woman to be the victim of a fatality or, even worse, a babality shouldn't worry for long. Word is that this Mortal Kombat won't feature any fatalities and will have 'very little blood' according to a Midway executive.
So what's the point? It might have some of the MK universe characters, but without the signature gore and finishing moves that made the original MK so enjoyable, what's left.
Maybe the DC licence is best left to the likes of TT and their Lego Batman series.
Anyhow, here's the first trailer of the game courtesy of GamesRadar, looking very much more like DoA than MK for my money.

Re: supersonic
Actually, I don't know whether it is supersonic. What the point of a supersonic plane if you are travelling something like 1,000km? It is, on the other hand, VTOL - and that is much more important in a country like Namibia where you have to go remote places.
Anyway, what do you think about the comic, folks? And think about it, the online edition is just that. The real thing, printed and all, has been distributed widely on Tuesday (still today for me).
I watched the access log of that web server. Most people from all over the world actually read the whole 20 pages. So they didn't just pop in and out again. Tell us what you think!

Re: supersonic
i thought it rocked =)
it had a positive message, was educational and promoted Free Software. i can't wait for patches/artwork/translations/ideas to start flowing from Namibia and other African nations as the students exposed to open source as teenagers become members of the global community of Open Source developers ...
items like this story make me happy .. and hopeful. =)

Re: supersonic
So we did accomplish something at least. ;-)
Lemme lift this secret: Aune and Peli do exist. They are real people. I actually know them. Young ladies unafraid of school principals, technical issues or travelling into the bush.
These movers are that: Movers. They take up a task and do it. Most of you folks cannot really appreciate what that means. Out there amoung snakes, scorpions and other vermins, they put up solar panels, antennas for wireless connectivity and do whatever is necessary to hook up another school. They don't have that fancy plane - but they do their job.
What more can any of us claim?

Re: supersonic
Do they have more than one jet? If not, having it parked at that one school for two days meant they would be unable to respond to emergencies elsewhere during that time. So shouldn't they have brought a pilot to fly the plane back while they were working?

Providing people the means to educate themselves
Unfortunately, education often is a privilege. Knowledge is power, the power to help yourself and others, and Open Source projects are empowering more and more people to tackle their everyday problems and create new opportunities in life. This is one of the main reasons that I love Free Software/Open Source and KDE. SchoolNet people, you rock! Apart from life and love, education is the most valuable gift you can give/receive, IMHO.
PS: Hai Ti is a cool comic. It also reminds me of a friend of mine, who worked in Haiti on a similar education program and saw how well it works. As a result, he still talks about it a lot and now is totally into Linux and KDE.
Thanks everyone

Did You Survive Election Day? One Man Almost Didn't
Voting is a great freedom and a great responsibility we have as Americans. I know when I filled out my ballot that I felt a great sense of pride. In fact, I actually got a little verclempt, my heart was racing, my palms were sweaty and I even got a little choked up. Even with all these symptoms, I wouldn't consider voting a life or death experience. But a Michigan man did.
It seems that an elderly man was voting with the help of his wife when he stopped breathing. The wife started screaming and a home-care nurse came to her aid. The husband had no heartbeat. The nurse performed CPR on the man and a few minutes later he began breathing again. The man's first words after being revived were, "Did I vote?"
Now that is an American. The man actually dies and when he comes back to life he doesn't tell his wife he loves her or ask what happened, he just wants to know if his vote counted. This is pretty amazing if you ask me. I mean when was the last time that you were so passionate about your freedoms as an American?

CHICAGO — Bally Total Fitness CEO Paul Toback may be breathing a bit easier — for now. He, along with John Dwyer, former Bally CFO, executive vice president and board member; Lee Hillman, former Bally CEO, president and chairman of the board; and the company's former auditor, Ernst & Young, had been accused of violating federal securities laws in a class action lawsuit, but the suit was dismissed last month by a federal judge.
Plaintiffs alleged that the executives publicly disseminated false and misleading corporate reports, financial statements and press releases; improperly recognized revenue; and improperly delayed the recording of expenses. They also alleged that Ernst & Young played a role in the fraud.
Ten separate actions had been consolidated into "Bally Total Fitness Securities Litigation" before being dismissed by the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois. In this securities fraud case, plaintiffs must have pleaded scienter (that the defendants had a negative state of mind and intention to deceive, manipulate or defraud) and loss causation (that the defendants' actions caused a drop in value of the stock, which ultimately led to shareholders' financial losses). The plaintiffs pleaded loss causation, but they were unable to show evidence of scienter, which led to the dismissal of the complaint, says Adam Savett, a Washington, DC, securities litigation lawyer who covered the case for his legal blog.
U.S. District Judge John Grady gave plaintiffs until Aug. 14 to file an amended complaint and scheduled a status hearing for Sept. 13. Matt Messinger, Bally spokesperson, declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Ventilatory threshold is introduced in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual as a way to measure a client's intensity during exercise. Vt1 and VT2 play a role in the ACE Integrated Fitness Training Model, specifically as transition points between zones 1, 2 and 3 of cardiovascular training.
What is a ventilatory threshold? Well, according to the glossary at the back of the Essentials manual, the VT is the 'point of transition between predominantly aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production.' And if you want to get specific…then the first ventilatory threshold is 'the intensity at which ventilation starts to increase in a non-linear fashion' and the second ventilatory threshold is 'the point at which high-intensity exercise can no longer be sustained due to an accumulation of lactate'.
Make sense? I admit it can be confusing if you are just looking at the definitions. The short version is that VT1 and VT2 provide a convenient way to divide intensity into training zones when looking at cardiovascular exercise. Zone 1 (relatively easy exercise) reflects heart rates below VT1. Zone 2 represents heart rates from VT1 to just below VT2. Zone 3 represents heart rates at or above VT2.
Below is a diagram of how the three zone setup of the Integrated Fitness Training Model relates to VT1 and VT2
But how do we measure VT1 and VT2? Research has found that the Talk Test (as described on pgs 382-383 in the Personal Trainer Manual) provides an accurate measure of the body's response to increasing intensity. Where before we relied solely on percentage of heart rate, now we have discovered that talk test relates very well to similar intensities.
Below VT1: you can speak comfortably, recite the alphabet etc.
At VT1: you can no longer speak comfortably; it requires some effort at this point
Above VT1/Below VT2: speaking is possible, but not really comfortable, you can't recite the entire alphabet with ease at this point
At VT2: Speaking is no longer possible with the exception of one or two word statements, chances are you are not going to be able to exercise much longer above this point
For a live example of how VT1 and VT2 works with the 3 zone IFT model, check out the ACE YouTube video featuring Todd and Marion:
Understanding VT1 and VT2 is a critical part of the Integrated Fitness Training Model. The information above should get you started. If you have questions, call up an Education Consultant at 1-888-825-3636 x782.

Feast or Famine Lyrics
In a dying world
it's feast or famine, breathe deep
and take your pick.
Don't act like there's an option
you'll be the one who fades quick.
Watch the sky swallow the sun
one more time
and take in the night's empty serenity.
No plan of action, no grand schemes.
No sanctuary, no hope for change.
Having tasted a better life, puts me...
At the bottom for so long,
gazing at the opening above me.
I see a hope for change, I see a hope for more.
Just sacrifice for survival.
Life is what you make it!
What you make it.
No holding back
Today I feast on this spoiled world
as the rest famine.
As the rest famine below me
as the rest

Age 49
Occupation Director of the MIT List Visual Arts Center
Residence Brookline
You recently came here from St. Louis. Which city do you find more stylish?
I'm not going to compare the two cities. Both are forward thinking and both have pockets of people who are very fashion conscious.
You're very diplomatic. How do you approach getting dressed for the day when you work at MIT and also in an art gallery?
For me it's all about a uniform. Like the other MIT people, it's about efficiency. I have a closet full of dark suits, white shirts, and black shoes. That's my uniform.
You're very monochromatic.
You won't find anything with color in my closet. It's all black and white.
Since you've arrived here, have you found places that are particularly aesthetically pleasing?
Right now I'm just trying to discover the MIT campus and meet all the art people. I'm getting to know all these new people, and they invite me to restaurants and different places. But I think many of the fashionable people I've seen so far are at the ICA openings and also at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum opening party. I took note of how fashionable people were. — C.M.Interview has been condensed and edited. E-mail comments to email@example.com.

EU Legal Review Says ACTA Negotiators Broke The Law In Not Revealing Text To EU Parliament
from the so-sorry,-it's-secret dept
- Confidentiality cannot be used as a justification for not complying with the obligation to keep Parliament fully informed. Where a degree of confidentiality is justified to ensure the proper conduct of negotiations, the Council and Commission may request that agreed measure on the confidentiality of the documents be applied.
- The obligation to inform Parliament cannot be modified or limited by any agreement among the institutions or by an arrangement with third parties which does not involve Parliament. Where documents originate from a third party, the Union negotiator may be justified in agreeing not to disclose such information without the consent of the third party concerned. In such circumstances, Parliament should nonetheless be provided with sufficient information.
- In the case of a persistent refusal to provide it with sufficient information, Parliament could initiate proceedings for illegal failure to act.

Sarah MacLean
Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord
Release Date: 10/26/2010
LIST PRICE: $7.99 (you save $1.60)
Main description:
Since being named "London's Lord to Land" by a popular ladies' magazine, Nicholas St. John has been relentlesslypursued by every matrimony-minded female in the ton. So when an opportunity to escape fashionable society presentsitself, he eagerly jumps—only to land in the path of the most determined, damnably delicious woman he's ever met!
The daughter of a titled wastrel, Lady Isabel Townsend has too many secrets and too little money. Though she is used to taking care of herself quite handily, her father's recent passing has left Isabel at sea and in need of outside help to protect her young brother's birthright. The sinfully handsome, eminently eligible Lord Nicholas could be the very salvation she seeks.
But the lady must be wary and not do anything reckless and foolish…like falling madly, passionately in love.
Review quote:
When it comes to crafting wonderfully escapist love stories composed of equal measures of sexy romance and sharp wit, literary newcomer MacLean is unrivaled.
Short description/annotation:
Sarah MacLean, one of the freshest and most exciting new voices in historical romance fiction, shares the Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord—her second witty and deliciously sensual Regency romance novel and a treat for fans of Julia Quinn, Julie Garwood, and Lisa Kleypas. In Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord—the unforgettable follow-up to MacLean's Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake—a highborn but penniless young woman needs to enchant "London's Lord to Land" without the much sought after gentleman realizing he's being enchanted!

Young immigrants have a dream
Just yesterday it was announced that Rigoberto (Rigo) Padilla will not have to leave this country later this month. He can stay another year while his immigration status is reviewed and regularized. Rigo came to this country at 6 years old, went through U.S. schools, and was an honor student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He was caught running a stop sign, had had a few beers, and, as an undocumented immigrant, had no driver's license. ICE came upon him as he was locked up in Cook County Jail, and an immigration judge quickly ordered his deportation.
A campaign ensued among his fellow students and faculty at UIC to allow him to stay in the country, at least to finish his education – he is a junior and sociology major. One interesting aspect of the protest in favor of Rigo was that many of the organizers were in the same situation – undocumented students who were brought to this country at young ages. Like Rigo many no longer had effective contacts to their country of origin, may be had never even visited it, and see themselves as "Americans." Now he can stay to finish his education, but there are many in our schools who have similar histories to Rigo's.
When I was stationed as an associate pastor in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago, I knew some such students. I admired their courage and that of their parents in supporting at some sacrifice the education of their children. It was not easy. Illinois gave them a break on tuition, but families were known to mortgage their homes to pay the rest since undocumented students did not qualify for government-assured student loans. I always thought our hard-nose attitudes on immigration, especially toward the young, was a waste of money and talent. We educated them in our schools and when they were ready to be productive citizens of society, we begrudged them help in the final stage of education. What a waste of talent!
For years Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) of Chicago has introduced in Congress the so-called Dream Act, which would extend to youth who were brought to this country illegally before 15 years and who went through our schools, the right to stay to finish their education and then even to apply for permanent residency. The bill had won broad acceptance in Congress, but was always a casualty to the anti-immigrant animus toward comprehensive reform. A bipartisan bill has been introduced in the Senate by Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Dick Lugar (R-Ind.). But it probably will have to wait to be part of a comprehensive package that will be taken up in the new year. Meanwhile the Department of Homeland Security seems to be signaling to go slow on cases similar to Rigo Padilla's (see New York Times article ).

Faux-Montessori Dishes: Everyday Dishware for Montessori Weaning
The Montessori weaning method encourages babies to work toward eating independently as early as their introduction to solid foods, from learning to set their places to cutting their food and pouring their own drinks. It can be difficult to hunt down dishes specifically designed for Montessori, so we've rounded up everyday dishware that mimics the Montessori weaning staples.
Under the Montessori weaning method, glass dishes are typically used to encourage gentle, respectful treatment of dishware, though another natural material like wood or metal can be used for parents not quite ready to deal with the inevitable broken dishes. Dishware must also be small enough to fit into tiny hands and mouths and to be easily carried to the table by babies once they start toddling and setting their own places.
Cups: Montessori weaning cups should be stable enough to resist easy toppling.
1. Circleware Skyline Shot Glasses (Bed Bath & Beyond, $4.99 for 6)
2. Turquoise Shot Glass or Egg Cup (Page Pottery, Etsy, $10)
3. Borosilicate Espresso Cup (cb2, $1.95)
Pitchers: In addition to being easy to grasp, pitchers should also be see-through, so children are able to see the liquid as it is poured.
4. Glass Creamer (Williams-Sonoma, $12)
5. Mini Glass Creamer (Crate & Barrel, $2.95)
Bowls: Small bowls should be just deep enough to keep too much food from spilling over but not too deep for small utensils to reach inside.
6. Bamboo Petite Snack Bowls (Pampered Chef, $25 for 4)
7. Pyrex Custard Cups (Target, $9.85 for 4)
8. Mini Latte Bowls (Anthropologie, $20 for 8)
Plates: Plates need only be small enough for children to hold steadily on their own.
9. Pistoulet Saucer (Bed Bath & Beyond, $7.99)
10. Crewcut Appetizer Plate (cb2, $1.50)
11. Riika Canape Plate (Anthropologie, $10)
Flatware Sets: Fostering a sense of independence means that even babies are encouraged to cut their own food, so a Montessori flatware set always includes a knife.
12. Luna Cocktail Flatware (World Market, $15.48 for 4 sets)
13. Fabler 3-piece Flatware Set (IKEA, $4.99)
Bibs: Though technically not dishware, a bib is a must for any baby learning to eat. A side snap allows a child to eventually learn to put a bib on by him or herself.
14. Blue Disco Dot Waterproof Bib (Zerbert Baby, Etsy, $14)
15. Sketchy Animals Bib Set (Babies R Us, $7.99 for 5)
•Drip Dry: 5 Bottle Drying Racks
•Melamine Mania: Fun, Durable (and Safe?) Tableware

Maine's democratic Senate president invites Republican governor and wife out to dinner
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � The new Democratic president of the Maine Senate wants to smooth relations with the state's Republican governor over dinner.
Senate President Justin Alfond sent Gov. Paul LePage a handwritten note Thursday inviting the governor and his wife to dinner with Alfond and his wife "at a place of your choosing."
Alfond's office provided the note in response to a public records request from the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/VObp2F ).
The invitation followed LePage's cancellation Tuesday of a meeting with incoming Democratic legislative leaders to discuss issues facing the new Legislature.
LePage said he would not meet with Democrats until the party called off a "tracker" hired by the Maine Democratic Party to videotape LePage's public appearances.
There was no immediate word on whether LePage had accepted the dinner invitation.

Kiss: 'Rock and Roll Over' Turns 35 Years Old
Today marks the 35th anniversary of the release of 'Rock and Roll Over,' which is the fifth of six studio albums to be released during what many fans consider the original lineup glory days of Kiss.
'Rock and Roll Over,' which features one of the best Kiss album covers ever, was released Nov. 11, 1976 at the height of the band's stardom. It featured the Peter Criss-sung Top 20 hit 'Hard Luck Woman,' which Paul Stanley reportedly originally wrote for Rod Stewart. (That would have worked really well, by the way — the song is firmly in the 'Maggie Mae' mold.)
The album also featured long-time concert staples 'Calling Dr. Love,' 'I Want You' and 'Makin' Love,' as well as 'Take Me,' which features some of Stanley's most direct and unabashed sexual come-ons: "Put your hand in my pocket / Grab onto my rocket / Feels so good to see you this evening…"
The record's sound was deliberately stripped down compared to its predecessor, the about-to-be reissued 'Destroyer,' which broke new commercial ground for the band but was criticized by some fans for its highly polished production. Kiss recorded 'Rock and Roll Over' in an empty theater with a mind towards capturing the live concert sound fans responded to so strongly.
It was another in a long series of successes for Kiss, who at the time were on an unstoppable commercial roll. The record just missed the Top 10 on the album charts, and was certified platinum about a year later. The band will release their 20th studio album, 'Monster,' which they promise will be an analog-heavy return to their classic '70s sound, sometime early in 2012.

Of the Republican proposals to eliminate, modify and otherwise undermine the health care reform law known as Obamacare, two would affect federal employees. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., wants to move government workers out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and into the insurance exchanges created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Conversely, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., thinks FEHBP is so good that all Americans should be allowed in the program.
"The American people should have as easy a consumer experience as federal employees do," Issa said when he introduced legislation -- the Equal Healthcare Access Act -- in October to open FEHBP to everyone.
Neither proposal has a snowball's chance in hell of becoming reality for many reasons, including politics and the difficulties inherent in implementing change on such a massive scale. But the two ideas beg an important question: Are such proposals really necessary? The irony of the debate over Obamacare is that its structure already closely resembles FEHBP, which is one of the most successful health care plans in the country.
FEHBP served as an important model for the Affordable Care Act. Some of the central and most consumer-driven components of Obamacare, such as making sure insurance companies do not deny health care coverage because of pre-existing conditions, are hallmarks of the 53-year-old federal program. Obamacare is in its infancy, and if it remains the law of the land it will no doubt need tweaks and other, more significant improvements along the way. But it has good genes, observers say: Medicare Advantage and Medicare's Part D prescription drug coverage were created in the FEHBP mold, and "both are working very, very well," says Walton Francis, author of Consumers' Checkbook Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees.
But FEHBP isn't immune to change or criticism. Some government workers have complained that increases in their premiums, co-payments and prescription drug expenses during the past few years are much more than the average and add insult to injury on top of the three-year pay freeze and furloughs. Feds will pay 4.4 percent more toward their health insurance premiums in 2014; total premiums, which include both the employee and government portion, will increase by 3.7 percent for non-postal enrollees.
Still, the Office of Personnel Management -- which runs FEHBP and, separately, the multiple state health plans in the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchange network -- says it has worked hard to keep overall premiums down. Health premiums in FEHBP shot up by more than 7 percent each year between 2009 and 2011 because of benefit changes and rising health care costs. The 2010 health care reform law led OPM to require more preventive treatments in each FEHBP plan. Such measures include screening and counseling for alcohol abuse, tobacco use intervention for children and adolescents, and hepatitis C screening. Even so, adding preventative measures required by Obamacare was not a big change for FEHBP, Francis says. "OPM had been improving plans for years, so they had gotten pretty good," he says. "FEHBP was a leader in this area, so there was not much to improve."
The fact that the average overall premium increases have been less than 4 percent since 2012 is a testament to the "good cooperation" between OPM and insurance carriers, says David Ermer, a managing partner at Washington-based Ermer Law Group who represents the Association of Federal Health Organizations, a trade association of FEHBP plans.
Obamacare did introduce two significant changes to FEHBP: extending coverage for children of enrollees up to age 26, which began in 2011, and coverage for employees of Indian tribes and organizations. OPM opened enrollment for tribal employees on May 1, 2012, adding more than 20,000 people to the FEHBP rolls.
OPM has taken pains to reassure FEHBP participants that they can retain their health insurance and that the Affordable Care Act's insurance marketplace will not affect FEHBP. The two health insurance programs, despite their similarities, are completely separate. Federal employees who have opted out of coverage because it's too expensive will have to choose between enrolling in the exchange network or FEHBP. Francis and Ermer say FEHBP offers better bang for the buck. The program, which will have 256 health plans in 2014, could add more participants to its beneficiary pool because of Obamacare.
But opening up FEHBP to everyone would be problematic, according Ermer, Francis and others who are familiar with the program. One challenge would be figuring out what portion of premiums enrollees would pay if FEHBP covers the general population. Right now, the government pays up to 75 percent of premiums. "It's an employer-sponsored plan, it's not a program like Medicare or Medicaid," Ermer says. "That's one of the reasons why Congress created the multistate plan [in the Affordable Care Act]."
A 2009 Urban Institute report on FEHBP captures the program's popularity as a health insurance model, but also the limitations. "Conservatives like the program's reliance on private health plans and market competition," the analysis stated. "Liberals like the prospect of expanding to everyone the FEHBP's large-employer-style benefits, community rating, and close oversight of insurer pricing. However, it does not seem to be wise simply to open the existing FEHBP to nonfederal enrollment nor feasible to precisely replicate the FEHBP and its national approach outside the context of federal employment."

Many tourists who disembark from an Alaska cruise at the port of Skagway opt for a self-guided walking tour of the city's historical highlights.
Advise your clients to hold off on the exercise and choose the 90-minute Skagway Street Car Company guided tour instead. They won't regret it because the company offers entertainment that is second to none.
Located on the Alaska Panhandle, Skagway is famous for being an entry port to the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. The city attracted thousands of gold seekers who attempted to climb the rugged St. Elias Coast Mountains to reach the Canadian and Alaskan goldfields.
"Skagway offers a rich gold mining history, the White Pass and Yukon Railroad and Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park," said Steve Hites, who co-owns the Skagway Street Car business with his wife, Gayla. "We strive for historical accuracy, building our street cars exactly as they were built in the 1920s, down to the last bolt."
Conductors dress in turn-of-the-century clothing while driving replica 1927 streetcar buses. The transportation and tours are based on a business started by the original owner and founder, Martin Itjen.
According to Hite, Itjen came looking for Klondike gold in 1898 and became the local undertaker, car dealer, coal delivery man and a celebrated storyteller. In 1923, he gave Alaska's first motorized sightseeing tour for President Warren G. Harding in a brightly painted coal truck, jokingly calling it his "street car."
"Itjen continued his street car tour for decades after, delighting summer visitors with his frontier style of humor," Hite said.
Hite replicated Itjen's original tour for today's visitor with a sprinkling of his own creative material. The result is a tour that is entertaining, endearing and a winner with tourists. The narrative includes historical highlights, gossipy news, human-interest stories and regional humor.
"Our tours keep the best of the old and merge it with the technological new," he said.
The company offers GPS-activated audio tours delivered simultaneously in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese and English using individual wireless receivers and headsets.
The 90-minute Skagway Street Car Tour offers multiple daily departures that make it easy to combine with other tours and activities during a day's shore excursion. The tour price is $45 per person and the company provides commission to agents.

Crime Alerts/Clery
Emergency Alert (Timely Warning), Saturday, November 3
A female UNF student said she was at a party at the Flats, Building 65, early this morning and stepped outside to talk to friends. She said she was approached by the suspect, a Hispanic male, five foot seven inches tall, holding a red Solo cup. The suspect offered the victim the cup with a fruity tasting drink in it. After consuming the drink she began feeling groggy. She believes she was drugged and then sexually assaulted. She reported the sexual assault to a professor who then contacted the University Police Department, who are investigating. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the UPD at (904) 620-2800.
While being a victim of a crime is not the fault of the victim, the UPD offers safety tips, which can be found here: http://www.unf.edu/upd/Student_Safety_Tips.aspx
University employee says active shooter training he received at UNF helped him in a real life situation
UNF employee, Frank Brown, described his recent experience as a hostage during a bank robbery to WJXT4 news. He credits the active shooter training he received at UNF with helping him decide what to do.
Safety Tips:
Hometown Security
What You Can Do When There Is a Bomb Threat
Lock Doors:
It may seem simple but it is very important to lock your doors, even when you are gone for just a few minutes. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity. It only takes a few seconds for someone to enter your room or your car and take your valuables. We recommend that you always lock your door when your room or your car is unattended. Don't give someone the opportunity to make you a victim.
Suspicious Activity:
We encourage you to contact the University Police Department any time you see something or someone suspicious. This could include an unfamiliar person loitering around campus, a person "cruising" the parking lot or someone trying to sell things door-to-door. We are here to respond to your concerns, so please don't hesitate to call us. We would rather check out 100 "false alarms" than miss one incident truly needing our attention.
Sexual Consent: It's as Easy as a Cup of Tea
The most important thing you need before having sex
Be more than a bystander. Do something.
Be aware and help prevent sexual assault

Looking for a product development idea? Dive into the cringe-worthy world of social taboos. You'll likely find wide-open markets that even entrepreneurs ignore because we're afraid of them.
Naama Bloom, the entrepreneur behind this week's viral video success The Camp Gyno, is now building a fortune on women's menstrual cycles. Her business, HelloFlo, is not the only service that delivers feminine supplies to your door by subscription. (Others include The Period Store, SentHerWay, LeParcel and Juniper.) But, thanks in part to the video and the company's name, it's likely the one that will stick with you.
I can barely write the word 'menstruating' without squirming, which is kind of absurd. But so goes with what's permissable in our culture.
When I first learned about HelloFlo last February, I was skeptical about its ability to acquire customers. Tampons delivered to my door? Hmmm, kind of uncomfortable to think about. I don't want pay any more attention to that time of the month than I already do. In retrospect, I see I was too blocked by the subject to give the product proper consideration.
Still, I've been transfixed by Naama's sudden success for days: How did she take a nearly unmentionable topic, turn it into a business, and then create a press bonanza that's sending her sales through the roof?
On the surface, we may swoon over the video's hilarious script and mesmerizing cinematography. Then we'll click through to HelloFlo and see she's created an elegant solution to a sometimes messy, not-always-on-schedule happenstance us girls are conditioned to hide at all costs.
But that's not what made the video go viral.
We're enamored by the video because Naama just changed a cultural conversation about our periods. Her video–and the way she packages products like the "period starter" kit (in a beautiful gift box, which includes tampons, pads, a cute canvas pouch, and other "goodies")–turns something that's been dubbed "the curse" into a cause for celebration (or, as the narrator of the video calls it:"the red badge of courage").
Even if you're not in the market for monthly delivery, you have to give the woman props for social disruption of such magnitude. It's kind of liberating.

Rosacea is a chronic skin disease characterized by facial erythema or redness. It is not a communicable disease. Rosacea is similar to acne and is sometimes referred as adult acne, developing between the ages of 30 and 50 in most patients. In most cases it affects acne prone areas or oily areas. Although it generally affects the face, it can also affect the eyes and upper body. It is a common disease, but goes undiagnosed in many patients and is most often mistake for sunburn. Rosacea is more common to women and usually flares up during menopause. Those with fair skin are at a higher risk for the condition to develop, but anyone can develop the disease.
Rosacea gives the flushed appearance to the skin when the blood vessels enlarge and allow the blood to flow through at a faster rate. Once they are enlarged they can become visible and cause a look that is similar to when someone overheats and their face becomes splotchy and reddened. Rosacea will persist and can worsen with time. As it progresses it becomes more noticeable. It is a vascular condition that results in redness and papules. In more advanced cases, the skin begins to swell and bumps or cysts can develop around the nose causing it to look swollen. This is a condition called rhinophyma and affects males more often than women.
Rosacea cannot be cured, but it can be treated by avoiding triggers. Certain medications, sun exposure, and the consumption of alcohol or hot drinks should be controlled to prevent flare ups. Some food products have also been reported as triggers and include dairy products and spicy foods. Extreme weather conditions such as cold weather and wind can also cause flare ups. Trying to cover up the signs of Rosacea with makeup isn't recommended, as these products can also cause the symptoms to worsen.

As people began to trickle into Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Sunday morning, many stopped in their tracks after hearing the funky tunes of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue on the main stage. From playing his main instrument, the trombone, to singing, playing the trumpet and shaking a tambourine, Troy Andrews, also known as Trombone Shorty, delighted the audience with musical talents and a smooth voice.
The group also covered "Brain Stew" by Green Day, making the crowd cheer. Although the audience started off small, more people began to stop in their tracks and start walking toward the main stage to check out the guy who played a trumpet trill for nearly an entire minute. Many stayed and started bobbing ther heads or dancing to beat of his songs.
Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue's set was copiously sprinkled with guitar solos, saxophone solos and — of course — trombone solos. In addition to dancing around the stage, the performers interacted with the crowd by asking "Whatchu say?" To which they would respond, "Hey!"
The audience itself was diverse, from white-haired men to young girls dancing in the back. Throughout his performance, more people trickled in to enjoy his upbeat music.
