My research interests lie mostly in the measurement and manipulation of behavior. Over the years I have studied behavior and behavior change in a variety of species from rats and pigeons to exotic animals to humans. Currently my research focuses on the use of behavioral economic principles to motivate health-related behavior change in disadvantaged populations. Of specific interest is substance use in pregnant or recently postpartum women.

Bad costume choice or something more sinister? That's the question on tongues of hip-hop heads after Seattle-bred emcee Macklemore — the lyrical half of the rapping/producing duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis — turned in a hometown performance of the pair's hit "Thrift Shop" dressed as, what critics are calling, "a stereotypical Jewish man." So much…

Forest After Villa Starlet - Rumour or Spin?
After what turned out to be the quietest transfer window on record, the loan window looks like making it seem a veritable shopping spree in comparrison.
The latest rumour/spin to hit the message boards, comes in the shape of Aston Villa midfielder Isaiah Osbourne. He's 21 and he's a defensive midfielder. He's made half a dozen appearances for Villa, mainly in the Cups and through substitute appearances. Other than that, there's not much info on the young fella.
Billy did say in his post match interview at the weekend, that he hoped to have a player or two in on loan by Tuesday. But he said that the weekend before and the weekend before that. Infact, even Colin Calderwood was saying that he hoped to make a couple of signings, when he was the gaffer....three bloody months ago! So don't hold yer breath.
As mentioned in the link, Fester are in for the player as well. The League 1 boys, have already beat us to the signature of keeper Mark Bunn, so don't be surprised to see them bag "Ozzy" too. Will we actually sign a player, or is this yet more spin from the club?

The Long Winter was an extremely cold and long-lasting winter in Middle-earth.
The Long Winter began in November 2758 of the Third Age, and snow soon covered all of Eriador and Rhovanion all the way south to the Ered Nimrais. Sauron used the winter to his advantage, staging an attack on Gondor by the Corsairs of Umbar and fleets of the Haradrim, while at the same time Easterlings and Dunlendings backed by Corsairs attacked Rohan. King Helm Hammerhand was trapped in the Hornburg, where he was forced to make desperate raids on the Dunlendings led by Wulf in order to get food. Gondor was unable to send help as its coasts and east flank were under attack. In the north the people of Arnor also suffered greatly, dying of hunger.
The winter ended in March T.A. 2759, when great floods of smeltwater allowed Helm's nephew Fréaláf Hildeson to oust the Dunlendings from Rohan, and Gondor now could come for help so that Rohan was soon cleared.

Let's face it, HP's decision to purchase EDS for $13.9 billion is making some VARs nervous about how the move is going to impact their services business. My immediate response is that VARs are being hypocrites, and here's why.
|Can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.
For years, VARs have been building out their services businesses, resulting in a channel that derives nearly half its revenue from professional and technical services. VARs were told to diversify or perish. Today, your average thriving VAR has developed a strong services, software and hardware portfolio, while those who didn't aren't around to read this column. So why grouse about HP CEO Mark Hurd's decision to buy $22.1 billion EDS, which has been struggling, whose shares seem like a relative bargain and whose business helps strengthen HP? A stronger HP doesn't necessarily translate into a threat. It should result in a stronger company with a better product and services portfolio, not to mention a better longer-term outlook.
Wall Street skeptics have it wrong. The newspapers writing critical stories also have it wrong because they don't understand the value of the services business. I don't hear VARs screaming about IBM's huge services businesses, which has been basically carrying the company for years. People applaud IBM for its success there, so why wouldn't the same hold true for HP? Also, why wouldn't more competitive pressure on IBM Global Services finally motivate it to get serious about engaging with the channel? IBM for years has mostly talked about a channel strategy for its services arm but in the end has done little. If HP can figure out a way to leverage its channel for a more comprehensive services push, it could really inflict some pain on IBM.
One of the biggest issues facing HP is how it will drive up EDS' operating margins, which at 6 percent are about half of IBM's. But if you consider the markets EDS serves—running customer mainframe systems, operating help desks for PCs or outsourcing client business processes—could partners play a bigger role, profiting from such activity while freeing up costs for HP? Could HP help the integrator leverage public-sector partners more to help lower its cost of doing business? I say yes to both counts.
Suddenly, and I mean very suddenly, Adrian Jones, the executive responsible for HP's North American partners, has a difficult job ahead of him. While many of the issues I raised will be hashed out by HP and EDS bigwigs, we will really see what Jones is made of in the coming months. He will have to deal with the daily fears of HP partners scared out of their wits, while carefully crafting a way for the HP channel and EDS to peacefully co-exist. Jones has one thing in his favor, though: HP's partners are a satisfied and happy lot at the moment, as evidenced by the recent grades in our Channel Champions and Annual Report Card surveys. But if he and HP make missteps in handling the EDS integration, all that hard work will be lost.
Are you suffering from double vision?
Everything Channel Senior Vice President/Editorial Director Robert C. DeMarzo can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Surveys conducted by the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (DSO) say the number of organ transplant donors has plummeted 18 percent in the past year. With the demand for organ transplants increasingly overtaking supply, physicians are hopeful that new technologies (such as 3D printing) could one day fill in these gaps.
As a first big step, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) in Stuttgart recently announced that they've created a bio-ink suitable for printing a number of tissue types.
The key to the new ink's versatility is its gelatin base. Gelatin, a derivative of collagen, is one of the main constituents of human tissues. While gelatin is normally in a gelatinous state at room temperature, the IGB researchers have created a way to keep the material in a liquid form. This makes it easier for the 3D printer to manipulate the material, depositing it onto a sterile sheet where it can then be cured with a UV light and rendered solid.
According to the IGB, "researchers can control the chemical modification of the biological molecules so that the resulting gels have differing strengths and swelling characteristics. The properties of natural tissue can therefore be imitated – from solid cartilage to soft adipose tissue."
While 3D printed organs are still a long way off, IGB's material is an important step forward in this burgeoning medical field. "Only once we are successful in producing tissue that can be nourished through a system of blood vessels can printing larger tissue structures become feasible," says IGB researcher Dr. Kirsten Borcher.
In the coming decades, the population of elderly people will dramatically rise around the world, increasing the demand for advanced biotechnology. If 3D printing technology can mature in time to meet these growing demands, it will find a huge market and be able to contribute to a higher quality of life.

I have quickly checked your modifications, on the one hand I like the reduction of functions, I would have said that we have AH around all the time and so we could just allocate once and stuff it all into ctx->cs and reuse the buffers for every object, but re-allocating them for every (dumpable) object should be fine as well. Regarding the function pointers that you removed, you are now putting back in what Dimitri wanted me to take out, namely switch/case instructions for the algorithms and then #ifdefs for every algorithm. It's not too many now since we have taken out LZF. Well, I can live with both ways. There is one thing however that I am not in favor of, which is the removal of the "sizeHint" parameter for the read functions. The reason for this parameter is not very clear now without LZF but I have tried to put in a few comments to explain the situation (which you have taken out as well :-) ). The point is that zlib is a stream based compression algorithm, you just stuff data in and from time to time you get data out and in the end you explicitly flush the compressor. The read function can just return as many bytes as it wants and we can just hand it all over to zlib. Other compression algorithms however are block based and first write a block header that contains the information on the next data block, including uncompressed and compressed sizes. Now with the sizeHint parameter I used, the compressor could tell the read function that it just wants to read the fixed size header (6 bytes IIRC). In the header it would look up the compressed size for the next block and would then ask the read function to get exactly this amount of data, decompress it and go on with the next block, and so forth... Of course you can possibly do that memory management inside the compressor with an extra buffer holding what you got in excess but it's a pain. If you removed that part on purpose on the grounds that there is no block based compression algorithm in core and probably never will be, then that's okay :-) Joachim

Wrap a Security Blanket Around Your Computer
With the Internet growing by leaps and bounds, the security of computer systems has become a major focus of large corporations, small businesses and individuals alike. Hardly a week goes by without a security flaw being discovered in some network. Many companies are reducing the threat by installing firewalls between their internal networks and the Internet, but this option is generally too expensive and cumbersome for single users running Linux from home or office. TCP_wrappers was written by Wietse Venema, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. It provides a simple, elegant and effective means to safeguard your network services from being accessed and possibly abused by intruders.
In this article we will discuss what TCP_wrappers are and how they work, and how to configure TCP_wrappers to protect your machine from unauthorized access. We'll also discuss some of the more advanced features of TCP_wrappers which provide detailed logging and can even help track attempts to break into your machine.
First, we need to know how a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection, such as telnet, is accomplished. TCP network connections are based on the "client/server" model. The telnet program is a client that communicates with a server program, or daemon, called telnetd or in.telnetd, depending on how your machine is set up. Since most Linux distributions use the name in.serviced in the directory /usr/sbin for network daemons, I will use that naming convention for the remainder of this article.
All requests for network services first go through the "Internet daemon", inetd. (As with all things in life, there are exceptions to this rule, see "What TCP_wrappers Cannot Do" below.) This daemon uses two configuration files to determine how to respond to requests for network connections. The file /etc/services lists the names of particular services and the port numbers for those services. The file /etc/inetd.conf lists the names of the services and the names of the programs or daemons providing the services. Listing 1 and Listing 2 contain some sample lines from the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files.
If I sit down at my.linux-box.com and type the command:
telnet your.machine.com
My telnet client sends a packet of information containing (among other things) the Internet address of the source my.linux-box.com, the Internet address of the destination your.machine.com and the port number for the connection. The port number for telnet is 23. inetd looks up port 23 in /etc/services and finds the service name telnet. It then looks up telnet in /etc/inetd.conf and finds that it needs to run the daemon called in.telnetd, listed in the rightmost column of Listing 2. inetd runs in.telnetd connecting it to port 23 and then goes about the business of listening for more connections. in.telnetd responds to my client, asking for a user name and password and starting up the telnet session.
What if you don't want anyone else to telnet into your computer? You can modify the code for in.telnetd to look at the source address of the connection request and to reject any addresses from outside your local machine or domain. If telnet were the only network service this would be easy, but there are dozens of network services, and it would be a nightmare to modify every daemon to limit access to your machine.
At this point TCP_wrappers comes to the rescue. The wrapper program is a tiny daemon that stands between inetd and network daemons such as in.telnetd and in.ftpd. Since all TCP connections are started up in basically the same fashion, a single wrapper program can be used to control access to almost all TCP network services.
When wrappers are installed, the Internet daemon is reconfigured to run the wrapper instead of the ordinary network daemon. The wrapper checks the source address of the connection and the service it wishes to connect to and decides whether to allow the connection. If your.machine.com denies my request for a telnet session, all I see is a dropped connection. If the request is allowed, everything proceeds normally, and the wrapper never actually interacts with my telnet client. In either case, the wrappers write a note in the system logs to let you know whether I was successful in connecting to your machine.

Commercial starts in the United States grew in 2007 by 11.2 percent, but the year ended with curtailment of building activity in the last three months, according to Reed Construction Data.
Retail and office construction both experienced strong gains in December, increasing 37 percent and 29 percent, respectively, over the previous month. Industrial building starts grew by 10 percent, mostly due to new hospitals. Financing holdups during October and November may have delayed starts and boosted December's numbers, Reed analysts said.
Highway work fell 26 percent during December, and heavy engineering construction declined 23 percent.
The final quarter of 2007 recorded a 17.6 percent drop in construction activity compared to the previous three months. This decline was attributed to more than the usual winter slowdown.
Looking forward, Reed Construction predicts that starts of commercial buildings in 2008 will be restrained by higher financing costs, tighter credit standards and a slowdown in the economy.

The Seafaring Women of the Vera B(2016)
(The first book in the Hearts of Oak series)
A novel by James S Davis and Susan Page Davis
With the Vera B's captain dead in Melbourne, Australia, Alice Packard thinks the worst has happened, until she learns the crew has deserted her husband's ship in favor of the goldfields. Only one old man, Gypsy Deak, sticks by her, but Gypsy alone can't raise a crew from the depleted population. In desperation, Alice turns to the only source of plentiful workers: the women of Melbourne. In a bold move, she and Gypsy empty a brothel, promising the escaped women a new life. Her all-woman (save one) crew put their backs and hearts into the voyage, but Alice finds training her sailors much harder than she expected. Her faith is tested to the limit. With a cargo to sell, angry brothel and tavern owners in pursuit, pirates to evade, and a mysterious stowaway, will the seafaring women of the Vera B. survive to tell the tale of this daring adventure?

Epson, E Ink Co-Develop Display Controller IC for Use in Electronic Paper Displays
Seiko Epson Corp and E Ink Corp have jointly developed a display controller IC, the S1D13522, which provides a high performance, space saving solution for E Ink's Vizplex-enabled electronic paper displays. The IC is based on the same engine as the first model, the S1D13521, but provides customers with a higher level of performance and additional features.
Found in most major electronic reader devices, Epson and E Ink's EPD low-power consumption screen technology has been a key factor in the rapid growth of the eReader market and the expanding range of mobile applications, such as e-books, eNewspapers, tablet PCs, notebook secondary displays, eNotebooks, and eDictionaries.
The Epson display controller (codenamed ISIS) includes 2 Mbytes of embedded memory and features that reduce the CPU overhead for EPD applications. Allowing multi-regional and concurrent display updates, the S1D13522 adds interface support for direct touch/pen drawing. Picture-in-picture, rotation, transparency, and hardware cursor functions further increase display flexibility.
The advanced sequencer engine, power management, I2C thermal sensor, and optional serial Flash memory support make a variety of implementations possible. The controller also adds interfaces for PMIC I/F and panel auto ID read. Combining all these features enables application developers to develop products more efficiently.
E Ink said it plans to offer an ISIS prototype kit that will enable engineers to prototype and develop next-generation ePaper products. Details will be announced when kits are available.
Samples of the S1D13522 are available now. Production quantities will be available in January 2010.

Japan Has More Electric Car Charging Points Than Gas Stations
by Felix Richter, Statista.com
-- this post authored by Niall McCarthy
An article in the Japan Times recently revealed that Japan has more charging points for electric vehicles than gas stations.
They cited numbers provided by Nissan who claim the country has 40,000 charging points and 34,000 gas stations.
Some criticised the data as gas stations have multiple pumps capable of handling substantially more vehicles every day. Chargers in private homes were also counted by Nissan, though the Japan Times points out that these may well be shared in the future, akin to Airbnb, as part of the emerging sharing economy. By contrast, the U.S. has approximately 9,000 charging points and 114,500 gas stations.
This chart shows the estimated number or vehicle charging points and gas stations in Japan and the U.S. in 2016.

IRON MAN 3 Promo Art Features Iron Patriot and Mark XLVII Armor
A new piece of promo art for Iron Man 3 has hit the internet featuring a new look at War Machine's Iron Patriot makeover and Tony Stark's Mark XLVII armor. These suits look so awesome in action, they were included in the the Comic-Con footage shown earlier this year, and hopefully they will be shown off in the first trailer for the film that should be released sometime soon.
The story for the film was inspired by the popular Extremis comic storyline, which follows a nano-tech threat. It's also been described as a "technological crisis thriller," that's set in the world of international war, arms and terror. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Andy Lau, Ashley Hamilton, James Badge Dale, Sir Ben Kingsley and, of course, Jon Favreau.

I've recently been talking to Tony Won (a wargamer & historian in Belgium) about various things Dutch-Belgian and Hundred Days related – Tony is a bit of a Hundred Days expert with 30 years effort on the subject, but is also a wargamer who obviously has some very nice models in his collection. Tony (with the help of a friend) has constructed a full 28mm model of Hougoumont and it's surrounds (using the relatively newly released 3-4 years ago range of buildings from Hovels Ltd) and it can be seen in all its glory in a 27-image slide show at the Hovels' website – it's truly a magnificent sight and a must see if you haven't seen it previously!

Choice Quotes From Rolling Stone's Zach Galifianakis Cover Story
That Ke$ha Woman
"I saw that Ke$ha woman the other day," he says. She'd e-mailed him about getting a drink, and a few days later, he ran into her in a bar. "She was sitting by herself, and I walked up to her and said, 'Listen, I got your e-mail. Your music is really bad! I don't know who listens to it, but I imagine it's, like, six-year-olds – and it's a bad message.' "

Singing superstar Diana Ross, 68, (she turns 69 March 26) proved she, indeed, is the boss with a rehearsal show for several hundred fans who paid $25 per ticket to see the former Supremes headliner in action at the Majestic Theatre Monday night.
Her Tuesday night show, based on the rehearsal, will be a showstopper, also at the Majestic and no doubt filled with heartfelt multiple standing O's (she received a trio of them at her rehearsal.)
And fans, especially those who have followed her since her days as lead singer for the 1960s girl group, The Supremes, are in for a trip down memory lane — and a surprise: if you haven't seen La Ross in ages she looks ageless, even in her laid-back oh-so-casual rehearsal look of black sleeveless tank top over black slouchy pants tucked inside Uggs. (Occasionally, she'd take the chill off with a hoodie emblazoned on its backside with the words "Life," "Nature," "Love.")
And her pipes ain't bad either. With 50 years of showbiz Baby Loving under her blinged-out belt, she still is in full control of that voice: so identifiable, sweetly light with terrific tone, all backed by a powerful presence — and all that glorious hair. And this was just a rehearsal with her back to the audience most of the time, with not a sequin in sight, but lots of love and admiration from Ross to her fans.
Ross admitted to the audience, "We've never done this before but I decided to open up the rehearsal. Rehearsals are really private, but we're trying to open up a whole lot of stuff," she said sweetly to applause and cheers as the rehearsal began shortly before 4 p.m. "This will go till 7 p.m.," she cautioned. More applause. (The rehearsal concluded a few minutes before then.)
Ross told her fans: "We won't sing the songs all the way through. It's more of a sound check."
She also apologized to her fans: "I'll have my back to you so I'm sorry." But even with her backside in full view, she didn't forget that her fans were there and often looked over her shoulder and flirted with them or waved and smiled a lot.
She reminded them that recently "I fell off the stage in India" (reportedly at a November concert for Naomi Campbell's billionaire boyfriend) "and broke my ankle. It's sore if I'm on it for too long." (Later, she had a slight stumble as she chatted with gospel singers from San Antonio who will perform backup for her for a few songs, but Ross didn't fall. The audience applauded after she kept her balance, smiled and shrugged it off with a sense of humor.)
With a nine-member band and three back-up singers, Ross occasionally offered stage and sound check advice to those around her. She introduced bandmates during a song and touted the chops of her back up singers. A high table had a box of tissues, bottled water and show notes on it that she often referred to. She spent a good portion of the rehearsal practicing with a San Antonio gospel choir comprised of singers from several churches throughout the city.
"We're rehearsing, we not really performing," she told the group and then shared a story with the choir and the audience about performing for President Barack Obama at a holiday concert in December. After a few more rehearsal rounds with the choir she told them: "You did really, really good. And you're good dancers, too. I love your smiles!"
And then, perhaps sensing that the audience was growing restless because they were there to hear the lady sing the blues or perhaps a Supremes oldie or a signature Ross disco song, she tore into a litany of songs that brought people to their feet and dancing in the aisles: "Do You Know Where You're Going To (Theme from "Mahogany"), followed by the rousing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (which she revealed will end Tuesday night's show) that was met with a minutes-long standing ovation and more cheering and declarations of love from the fans to which Ross replied: "And we were not suppose to be entertaining!"
Then came "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand) with the S.A. choir joining in; Ross told the singers "Right about here we get the audience to sing with us," and then, turning to the audience, "and make you guys work."
Singing with Ross wasn't work — Monday night's turnout proved it was a privilege as her adoring fans also sang along to Ross singing Gloria Gaynor's empowerment anthem "I Will Survive" with many moving closer to the stage, dancing. After a couple more songs, Ross opened the rehearsal with song requests and delivered the goods with her on-the-spot spot-on obligation to sing her heart out. (I hope she does this at Tuesday night's show; it was an unforgettable connection she made with appreciative fans on Monday.)
She ended up singing two: "Upside Down" and "The Boss" as more requests were shouted: "Baby Love," "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "Someday We'll Be Together."
"What happened to our rehearsal?" Ross reminded the audience as she laughed along with them. "Let me save some voice for tomorrow night," she said, affirming her appreciation to everyone, adding "We didn't' expect this!"
As she gathered her belongings from the table she looked at her fans, now clustered at the edge of the stage, and said, "This is it you wonderful, wonderful people. We love you. See you later, alligator!"
And with that she was slowly escorted off the stage, stopping briefly to sign a couple of autographs as fans waited until her head of curly hair was out of sight.

A few years ago (okay, maybe it was many years ago, like 11) brenda and I took a vacation to Europe. While in Brussels we had to try the "Belgian" waffles that were sold by street vendors all over the city.
They were amazing, and ever since then we have searched for a recipe that would even come close to the hot, crunchy, soft, buttery and sweet waffles that we had there. Finally, I think we may have found it! We were watching an episode of Bobby Flay's Throwdown, and he challenged a NY Waffle cart guy from Belgium who explained that what Americans call "Belgian waffles" are known as Brussels waffles in Belgium, and that there is a second kind called Liege waffles that are sold by the street vendors. The waffles that he made looked like the waffle that I have been craving all this time. So we have ordered up the 1 unique ingredient that we need, and found some recipes to try out, and hopefully we will finally be sucessful in our quest for the perfect waffle. This is the recipe that we are going to start with.
Recipe makes 8 – 10 waffles.
I am actually worried that these will be as good as I remember them, and I will soon be gaining a lot of weight from eating so many waffles.
Kelly and Sherri did a great job putting together these pictures of Lori and her family.
It's only January 10th, but I have already had enough winter. I suppose people in Atlanta, and other cities across the south are waking up to that same sentiment today. At least the snow they got this weekend will be gone in a few days. We have another couple of months of cold left. Ugh.
Have you ever seen a six foot tall rabbit? Well last night at Schalmont high school, we saw the students put on a production of Harvey... So yes we did get to see a six foot tall white rabbit. They put on a great show, Kiana was Nurse Kelly. I took a few pictures, and took a short video clip of the curtain call. There are more pictures in the gallery.

In the never-ending quest to make America smell springtime fresh, scientists have found a way to keep sweaty clothes odor-free.
This latest advance in textile technology -- dubbed "permanent fresh" -- uses the same sort of chemical coating that keeps permanent-press clothes from wrinkling. But this coating is anti-microbial, preventing the growth of bacteria and other micro-organisms that produce odors and even disease.
The first products using the technology could be on the market by next year.
The treatment, developed by Dr. Gang Sun of the University of California at Davis, can be "recharged" with a simple rinse in a chlorine solution, restoring it to 100 percent effectiveness.
That means that clothing can be worn several times without picking up that musty, gamy, really-needs-to-be-cleaned smell. But once it does, it's easily fixed with a quick rinse.
Work out, tuck your sweaty T-shirts and socks and shorts into a gym bag or locker and walk away. They'll be odor-free the next time you pull them on, said Dr. Jeffrey Williams, president of TheHaloSource Corp., a Seattle company that is developing the technology.

The much-anticipated new show by Betsy Cain at the Telfair Museums' Jepson Center lived up to — even surpassed — my high expectations.
The exhibit "In Situ," which opened a few days ago and continues through Dec. 4, is grounded in both time and place.
And that's an interesting thing to say about work that is primarily abstract.
When I first heard that the Jepson was planning a show of Cain's work, I was imagining a pretty large retrospective of her decades of impressive paintings. But the Varnedoe and Levitt galleries don't offer enough space for a show of that scale.
Cain and the Telfair staff have turned that limitation into an advantage. "In Situ" features work from only the past couple of years, mostly completed in the artist's new studio on Bonaventure Road.
Rather than a retrospective, the show feels like a mid-career snapshot of an artist whose work displays a mature brilliance even as it seems to be exploring new frontiers.
The highlights of the show are many, including the four related oils on paper that greet visitors as they step into the exhibit. All part of a series named "indigofera" after a genus of plants, the paintings' cool blues work wonderfully together, but each piece offers individual rewards that only intensify as one draws closer to see the details of the removals of paint and the reliance on the chance of gravity.
The two-paneled "april suspension" is dedicated to Jim Bitler, the Ossabaw Island caretaker and resident who died suddenly in April while taking a nap. Without knowing that history, a viewer could easily miss the outline of a reclining figure in the left panel, but the sense of departure and liberation in the right panel would come through on any close viewing.
There are a couple of large cutouts in the show, and the beautiful "marsh shroud" hanging on the third floor landing.
But visitors need to be sure not to miss a couple of other pieces in the hallway: "shredded green #1" and "shredded green #2." Small shreds have been ripped from the flat surface of the paper, giving the two paintings an evocative texture.
They seem to be growing out of the wall. And they seem ready to fly away. Both at once.

I've found range dps classes are the easiest to dps with.
I've found range dps classes are the easiest to dps with.
<< What I Look like. ^^Shit I say.
Depends what's most difficult for the player. Dps comes down to 5 big things. Cast/Attack priority, resource management, debuff/dot management, positioning, CD usage.
Arcane mages have no debuffs or dots to worry about, but they depend heavily on positioning (minimizing how often you have to move) and managing resources and CD's.
An enhance shaman, as a counterexample, has little to no concern for resources, but must manage a small number of dots/debuffs (totems, FS, SS), and has a complex priority system.
A fire mage has a less complex priority system than the shaman, doesn't worry much about resource management, but depends heavily on debuff/dot management and CD usage.
Add to that, every class has some built-in RNG factor, and the more RNG events (usually ability procs) influence your priorities, the harder it is to play that class optimally. Perfect examples of this come from Ret paladins (especially pre-4.3) and frost DK's.
An easy to play class to me is one that can be played with similar success by 2 players, one with years of experience with the class, and one who knows nothing about it. That's just not the case. To be played well, any class requires some practice. Depending on the strengths of the player, some may be easier TO LEARN than others.
maybe arcane mage.
Ok first of all I CANT say which one is the easiest spec because I haven't played them all, obviously. Although, I have been raid leader and guild master in a 25man raiding guild for 4 1/2 years, and taking this knowledge into account I can say that all specs are easy when you actually compare them to a really hard game (like quake that I played in the past). WoW is an easy game, that gives the illusion to most players that they actually do something and they can brag about it. I 'd say that things like activity, loyalty, game-knowledge, tactics etc are equally important toskill.
Having said all the above, I want to go to the "arcane mage" matter, I 've played mage since wow beta, I 've played every spec possible. Right now I am playing fire-spec cause its better and thats all about it. Since I have played mage for so long I think my opinion matters a lot more than someone who is posting here and has tested arcane mage ona dummy or on a 5man.
In my opinion, the amount of BUTTONS that you press doesn't reflect the difficulty of the spec, an arcane mage has MANA MANAGEMENT which in a 7-8 min fight gives him a rotation which actually matters, it also makes him flexible to help the raid by using his CDS PROPERLY, for example when you know there is a burn phase, you will keep your cds for that. Arcane Power, Mana Gem, Mirrors, Presence of Mind, Flame Orb, Evocation, are all very important and if not used, can destroy an arcane mage's dps. Other than that, an arcane mage has a disadvantage on movements fights, in a fight with heavy movement an arcane mage has to try a lot more than other classes/specs because he doesnt have ANY dots ticking, he needs to POSITION himself very well and use blink properly. Lastly, an arcane mage has to watch, a STACK (ab stack) and a proc (missiles), add those 2 to the 4-5 cds + mana management and the spec becomes complicated enough.
In order to explain the difficulty of arcane in comparison to fire for example, I find fire-spec quite boring and rng for my taste. On single target its much easier than arcane, you have one dot and one proc, you do not look at mana, and you have to align the planets every 2 mins. Not really nuclear science. The only other dps spec I 've played, isfrost dk on my alt, and tbh, whenever I play it I feel it is a lot more relaxing comparing to arcane.
Oh and for those who are going to say "I saw X mage spamming arcane blast the whole 8min fight", well most of them have Sinestra's trinket, which is the worst thing that could have happened to the spec, it defeats the purpose of thespec and also gives a disadvantage to those who dont have it cause bliz balances the spec according to it.
Thats all, I hope I helped, especially those that have judged arcane spec to what they ve seen on a dummy or a 5man that a fight takes 30secs. Peace.

Arcane Mage and Frost DK
Why? Because it requires very few buttons, compared to everyone else
That said, feral cat is the only one I've tried that doesn't bore me to tears. At least that one has you monitoring a handful of different things and making some basic decision on what to do next, instead of just mindlessly reacting to procs or mashing buttons in a sequence.
I can only play my mage when I have the kind of hardware that supports the massive amount of keybindings I require for arcane to top the meters.
I'm kidding........but in all seriousness the easiest class to dps with will always be the class the individual is most comfortable with
Made by dubbelbasse
I have read through the rotations for every class in SimCraft, and for single target, Fire Mage is by far the simplest rotation to DPS with. Arcane Mage is the most complicated mage spec to play.
edit: my main is a feral

That young Kekkeri.
Combat Rogue (without rupture)
Enhance Shaman - really all it is is hit what is not on CD
Survival Hunter
Frost DK
Would add a mage spec but that is the only toon that is not 85 so i dont know end game rotations for it
elem shaman imo
both dk specs are simple (I mained both for quite a time) but theres still so many baddies, despite this, because most dont have the priority system down.
arcane mage may be simple but for some reason i still see a majority failing to pull 15k, even in the best possible settings.

Gearscore is like a bikini. It shows you what you already know and doesn't show what REALLY matters.
But really, no class is "difficult" per se, to DPS with. It's just a matter of understanding how your class/spec works. Some specs are not as simple as Frost DKs or Arcane Mages, but they aren't really too far off. If you have the effort required to achieve a practical damage output, it shouldn't be hard.
And while the cobras dance around your feet like you're a god
It only takes one bite for you to realize you are not
Most of the specs are fairly straight forward to play decently, but all of them are hard to play perfectly.
Arcane mages and combat rogues, two specs mentioned frequently in this thread, both require an intricate understanding of timings to play well. As always, choose the class and spec that appeals most to you as you are more likely to understand and appreciate the mechanics that way. And that, more than anything, will decide the outcome.
i would say arcane mage, few buttons miracle.
or DK, just bang your head to your keyboard
i feel that arcane mages are most likely easiest to dps with
I would have to agree arcane mage
Arcane mage requires a lot of mana management actually.
I would say that hunter is the most easy.
Hardest? Shadow priest or warlock.
Good Enough

The peripheral nervous system is defined as the nerves outside the spinal canal. Among their many functions, nerves allow us to move, allow us to sense our environment (touch), and give us the useful protective element of pain. A problem with the peripheral nervous system, therefore, can cause difficulties with movement, can decrease feeling in our hands and legs, and can cause pain.
Dr. Dumanian is an expert in brachial plexus reconstruction, removal of nerve tumors, repair of cut nerves, and he has special expertise in treating patients with painful neuromas. His new investigations include the treatment of painful conditions for patients who have suffered from major limb amputations.
Nerves within the spine and spinal canal are treated by orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. Unfortunately, some nerve conditions consist of problems of the nerves both as they exit the spine and also in the periphery. You may need for than one type of physician to evaluate your nerve problem.
Painful Foot Nerves
It is not uncommon for patients to have injured nerves around the foot and ankle. The nerves can be compressed around the ankle (tarsal tunnel syndrome) or on the top of the foot by tight shoes. Nerves can be injured during surgery when foot and ankle surgeons approach the bones of the foot. Finally, even some severe ankle twists can injure nerves. Dr. Dumanian treats painful nerves of the feet. A common procedure is to remove the injured nerve, and to splice in a replacement using a nerve substitute. He will publish his results on 26 patients with painful foot nerves soon.
Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a due to a pinched nerve at the wrist (the median nerve). The pinched nerve causes pain on the inner part of the forearm up to the elbow, but usually not past the elbow. There is decreased feeling with pins and needles in the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. A classic association of carpal tunnel syndrome is waking up at night and shaking your hand to make it feel better.
Conditions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome include diabetes, renal failure, trauma to the wrist including broken wrists, obesity, arthritis in the neck, and pregnancy.
Carpal tunnel is typically graded as mild, moderate, and severe by your surgeon. In moderately severe carpal tunnel syndrome, there is weakness of the muscles of the thumb, and in severe cases, there is atrophy or thinning of the muscles of the thumb. The suspicion for carpal tunnel syndrome will often cause your surgeon to order nerve tests to confirm the diagnosis.
Patients with mild carpal tunnel syndrome wear nighttime splints to lower the pressure on the nerve. The splints prevent bending of the wrist at night, and so the median nerve is not in a bent and compressed position. Patients with longstanding symptoms not responsive to splinting or with thumb weakness are candidates for surgery. A cortisone shot in the wrist is sometimes used to delay the need for surgery (such as for women who are pregnant), or to help diagnose patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who have normal nerve studies.
At Northwestern Plastic Surgery, both open and endoscopic (using a telescope and a smaller incision) carpal tunnel releases are performed.

Pain After Groin Hernia Repair
One patient out of 20 will experience chronic groin pain after the treatment of an inguinal hernia. Dr. Dumanian performs the "triple neurectomy" procedure to treat chronic localized pain after inguinal hernia repair. In the office, Dr. Dumanian will often inject local anesthesia to numb the area as a test to see if you are a good candidate for surgery.

Peripheral Nerve Surgery addresses some of the following conditions:
Nerves are like electrical wires than conduct electricity and information in two directions from the brain out to the periphery, and simultaneously from the periphery back to the brain. Injuries to the peripheral nerves can occur in many different situations, with trauma being a leading cause of cut or injured peripheral nerves. Surgery for other conditions can lead to cut nerve endings as well. There are situations when injured peripheral nerves can be repaired to help restore function. Within 3 weeks of injury, a cut nerve can often be primarily repaired to partly restore function. After 3 weeks from the injury, nerve grafting with nerves taken from the back of the leg, or even synthetic tubes, can be used to help repair the injured nerve. This is a complex topic, and every patient is different. Ask your doctor if something can be done to help your injured nerve.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome is due to a pinched nerve at the elbow (the ulnar nerve). The pinched nerve causes pins and needles to be felt in the fifth finger and part of the fourth finger. In moderately severe cases, there can be weakness in the small muscles of the hand, clumsiness, and even decreased gripping strength. In severe cases of a pinched nerve of the elbow, there is atrophy or thinning of the muscles of the hand and/or forearm. This is easiest to see if one compares the size of the muscles on the back of the hand between the thumb and the index finger.
The elbow is most pinched when the elbow is bent, and so keeping the elbow straight at night helps to relieve pressure on the nerve. A "Heilbo" splint is often prescribed, and the padded part of the splint is worn on the inside of the elbow to keep the arm straight.
A combination of a failure to improve, weakness, and confirmatory nerve studies are elements that would lead to a surgical release or unpinching of the nerve. There are several techniques by which the nerve can be released, and the physicians at Northwestern perform all of these procedures. What is "best" for you would be discussed at the time of your office appointment.

The following sites offer more information on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome:
Radial Tunnel Sydrome
Radial tunnel syndrome is the least well recognized of the nerve compression syndromes of the arm. Pinching of the radial nerve in the forearm causes pain to radiate up and down the mid-portion of the outer aspect of the arm, and centered around the elbow. The syndrome causes pain predominantly, and sometimes weakness of extension of the fingers. It can occur with the very common condition called "lateral epicondylitis" or "tennis elbow". Some cases of tennis elbow that don't respond to regular treatment are actually patients with radial tunnel syndrome.
The majority of patients improve with rest, physical therapy, and occasionally a cortisone shot in the forearm. Nerve tests are often normal, and though nerve tests are often ordered, a normal study does not mean you do not have radial tunnel syndrome. Patients with well diagnosed radial tunnel syndrome that is not responsive to conservative treatment are often helped with an unpinching or release of the radial nerve. This is a 30-45 minute procedure, done in the operating room as an outpatient.
Neuromas / Cut Nerve Endings
The ends of cut nerves can become painful when tapped. Some cut nerve endings are painful all of the time. General strategies for treatment of painful cut nerve endings are to either move the neuroma to a deeper more remote spot where it will not be tapped, or else to give the neuroma somewhere to go with a nerve graft or a nerve transfer. This is a complex topic, and every patient is different. Ask your doctor if something can be done to help your injured nerve.
Nerve Tumors
Tumors can form on nerves, just as they can involve other types of tissue in the body. The most common type of nerve tumor is the "Schwannoma" or "neurolemmoma". These tumors feel like small marbles under the skin, and tapping them causes pins, needles, or "shooters" to go down the limb in the distribution of that nerve. They tend to be straightforward to remove, and their removal does not tend to cause any nerve injury, as they push normal nerve out of the way as they grow. They should be removed in the operating room.
Neurofibromas are nerve tumors that can infiltrate the nerve. Removal of a neurofibroma, in contradistinction to the schwannoma, can result in partial or total loss of the function of the nerve. Some patients can have numerous neurofibromas, and that syndrome is called von Recklinghausen's disease. Rarely, a neurofibroma can become painful at rest—in these situations the neurofibroma can be degenerating into a cancer, and it must be removed.
Speak with your doctor about the evaluation of your nerve tumor, if an MRI should be done, and what are the chances for a loss of function from removal of the tumor.
Leg Nerves: Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and Peroneal Nerve Compression
Nerves of the lower extremity can be affected in the same way as upper extremity nerves. Nerves can be injured in trauma, they can be injured during surgery for other indications, they can be involved with tumors, and they can be compressed. Injured nerves can be painful, cause a lack of feeling, or muscle weakness.
Injured lower leg nerves can be due to problems at the spine, or metabolic conditions such as diabetes. Nerves within the spine and spinal canal are treated by orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. Some nerve conditions consist of problems of the nerves both as they exit the spine and also in the periphery. You may need for than one type of physician to evaluate your nerve problem, including a plastic surgeon, a neurologist, a spine physician, and your internist to address all of the potential problems.
Facial Nerve Injuries
The Facial nerve controls all Facial expressions, including the important function of smiling. Injury to the Facial nerve can occur after surgeries to remove tumors, after some illnesses such as Bell's palsy, from birth trauma or congenital deficits, or from trauma to the area near the cheek. Some Facial nerve injuries can be repaired by finding the cut nerve ends and using nerve grafts to restore the lost function. Nerve injuries over 9-12 months in age are more difficult to repair. In order to restore a smile, both new nerves and muscles must be transferred to the cheek in a delicate 6-hour procedure. Ask you physician if you are a candidate for a procedure to restore Facial nerve function.

Direction-Space! is a project by Russian-born photographer, Maria Gruzdeva. The photographs depict relics from the Soviet-era space industry in all their 20th century glory. Two iconic sites, Star City and Baikonur (previously blogged here), are featured prominently in the images.
A blurb from the artist:
"Direction–Space! series explore the reality of the space community at first hand, investigating the physical and psychological space as well as the routine and lives of its residents and their habitat. Generation of cosmonauts have trained in these surroundings and because of the reticence and insularity of this world the physical space and its spirit have been preserved. The series reveals these traces of history, power and ghost-like presence left behind. It is this space that holds the weight of the past and shapes the reality of people who live and work there currently. Direction–Space! offers a new insight into the subject central to the Cold War history of the Soviet Union and raises questions over attitudes and perceptions that have been formed over the past decades."
And without further ado, here's a sample of the fascinating collection:
If you are interested in the history of the Soviet space program, she put the collection of images in a book:

Some of you might have read that I was homeschooled with the Charlotte Mason method, which in and of itself is a unique way of homeschooling. It allows a child to learn with according to their own unique learning styles, but yet, keeps learning alive and interesting versus textbook-y and dull. I loved using this method.
How I learned about geography, culture, and Christianity is unique all the options out there.
My knowledge about the cultures of countries and continents, as well as the amazing blessing of God's watchful eyes, grew immensely once I began reading missionary biographies.
I learned about culture division of people, such as the Indian caste system, where people were divided into a certain class depending on the persons social power and labor; basically it was a very deep segregation within the country. There were castes as low as those called the "untouchables," where you literally could not touch those people or you would be charged with breaking caste.
I learned about the law that used to exist in China about binding women's feet as a small girl so that they wouldn't grow more than six inches! Thankfully, Gladys Aylward became the Official Foot Inspector and unbound all Chinese women's feet and completely rid China of that law.
I learned about the many cannibal tribes. Never heard of a cannibal until I began reading and listening to missionary stories and biographies. Totally disgusting, but unfortunately true.
So many of these missionaries' stories left me in awe of how God provided for His disciples, protected them in hardships, and gave them the strength to endure prosecution. But what shocked me more was the selfless and completely surrendered wills of the missionaries. Yes, they were human and desired to do what they thought best like everyone else does, but even though they didn't want it they put their trust and faith in God and time and time again they were not disappointed.
Each time I read one of these biographies I was filled with the desire to spread the Good News with others and to fully put my trust in God. This is what showed me true Christianity.
Here are a few of my favorite missionary biographies: Even though it is pretty impossible to find just a few favorite missionaries…
- Mary Slessor
- Amy Carmichael
- David Livingstone
- Jim Elliot
- Ida Scudder
- Eric Liddell
- Sundar Singh
- Loren Cunningham

I am the worst website owner EVER.
You see, once upon a time, long long ago…I had a website about Mustangs. That is how my online obsession actually started. With my obsession with my Mustang.
It was a site that took up many hours of my life, kind of like my blog does now. I met many friends there, some life long, some just in passing.
Finally when my life got too busy for the website, I decided to shut it down and just keep the forum up and running.
The forum is still online. Unfortunately with the takeoff of facebook, nearly everyone left the forum. Except GeeTee…he is faithful and a lot of time, the only one still on there
mostly because he is too damn stubborn to join facebook. Occasionally 68gtfastback will show up to make fun of GeeTee.
I was doing alright for a while, I would check in randomly, though not nearly as much as I should have, and say hello.
Tonight when I was stumbling around the internet, I realized it has been months since I have been on there. Months.
What kind of shitty forum owner does that? I can't even apologize and make it better after that long can I? Hell no.
The funny thing is I have sort of been that way with the Mustang for the last few years too. It just has felt like the time is lacking and the love affair has slackened off.
Today I should have been driving her, it was a beautiful day and the roads aren't covered in too much salt, it would have been amazing. So I have made the call that if it is as nice tomorrow as it was today, I am taking her out. I am going to shine her up and just drive around til I run out of gas. Ok, well maybe just before that, but you know what I mean.
A road trip to Courtenay sounds like a fine plan to me…maybe some pics along the way.
I also checked in on the forum…
There was no one there, it was like a ghost town with memories of good times that are far in the past…I was a little sad.
It made me start up a new group on facebook, since the one I had before has been archived, whatever the hell that means.
If you have a cool car and want to join up, check it out here. I should have resoluted
yes Janis I know it's wrong, I did it to make you crazy to be a better Mustang owner instead of growing my bangs out, though I suppose it is not to late to commit to both things is it?
You don't ever not look cool driving a Mustang, even when your hair is in mid nightmare. So here is to finding one more thing to fall in love with all over again. Something that was the love of my life for longer than most men. It's time to bring her back to where I once wanted to get her, shiny and fast. I have some work to do, and this is going to be the year.
But just for tomorrow, I am going to drive. Just drive.
And smile. The whole damn time.
Because that is why I got involved in this whole scene in the first place. I LOVE driving my car, every little thing about it.
The exhaust
that will probably kill me if the window isn't down a bit, the growl of the 289 as I put my foot down and take off down the road where hopefully there are no cops, cause I don't really need a ticket, but can't help myself, the shine of the purple paint as the sun shines down on us…the smiles I get from people passing by, remembering the last time they were in a Mustang, bringing back memories of days gone by when life was far more simpler than it is today.
Just what I need right now. In all parts of my life. Simple. Smiles. Happy.
Happy Wednesday my friends…

When Simon Ward glanced at the clock in the corner of the community room, his great grandmother sat bolt upright and started talking.
�I never loved him.�
Her voice was firm, carrying a note he�d not heard before. Gone was the singsong melody he�d grown up with these last 15 years.
Simon edged his chair closer to her. Visiting hours ended at 11.30, and a handful of people were already leaving.
�Your great grandfather, Simon. I never loved him.�
She reached out and held his hand. It felt like a sparrow might feel resting on his palm. For many years now she�d sat in her wheelchair, resembling a grey pillow in need of plumping, and he�d listened to her make mental leaps back through the decades. Most of the folk at the home were time travellers. Sometimes she was a child on the fells in Cumbria with her father, grouse-beating or sheep-dipping. A moment�s pause and she�d be practising her scales in readiness to top the bill at a Drury Lane music hall. Another jump-cut saw her flag-waving on the Mall as Queen Elizabeth rolled by in her golden state coach on her Coronation Day. But she couldn�t remember receiving the telegram from that same Queen a few years back.
�Go on Nanna, I�m listening.�
Simon removed a pudgy hand from where it hid his pimpled chin.
�I was 15 when I lost my true love to the Great War. His name was Stanley. He was 17 and so handsome in his uniform. He picked wild flowers and he showed me how to dance a waltz on the sand in the moonlight��
Nanna paused for breath and they watched as old Smokin� Joe, the last resident left in the community room, was wheeled out. Unlike the boxer, he got his name for pipe smoking. He gave them a thumbs up.
�Remember folks, time�s marching on. I wish I knew where it was going!�
The carer wheeling him smiled at Simon and, not looking where she was going, stubbed her toe on the door frame. He heard her curse, then Smokin� Joe�s admonishment:
�You wouldn�t use language like that if my mother was here.�
�Before he went away,� said Nanna, �he� got me in the family way.�
It took a second to realise she didn�t mean Joe.
Simon had been visiting his great grandmother weekly in the home for three years. What had started as a school project, to earn credits for social science, had turned into a labour of not exactly love, but affection. Other classmates had treated it like a day trip to a freakshow. They quickly gave up, declaring it smelled of piss, but Simon saw past the residents� sunken faces. He�d grown attached to them, and didn�t notice the catheters and paraphernalia of old age anymore. Annie, 89, would collar him when he came in and tell him how she�d sneaked into the bathroom at wash time and grabbed a glimpse of sexy Arthur�s bum. At 80, Arthur had youth on his side. Bert, 82, had medals for single-handedly storming a tank during the Second World War. Irene, 91, was a high class call girl in the 1930s. They didn�t care what people thought, they just wanted to put their lives on the record. For his part, he�d sing to them, or talk about the weather.
But Nanna�s revelation was a shock.
�It broke my father�s heart but I had that baby. I had to give him away. I still wonder what happened to him.�
She was struggling with her breathing.
�Stanley died in battle. I never had chance to tell him about our baby.�
Her old blue eyes were weeping more than usual.
�My father sent me away. I�d shamed the family. I met your great grandfather when I was 19. I told him my family were all dead. He was the kindest man I ever met, a good man, and he looked after me. But I never loved him. I missed Stanley and I still do. Are you courting, Simon?�
�No, Nanna, I�m not,� he said, his face flaring in embarrassment.
�When you find someone you love, don�t waste a moment.�
Her head was dipping now, her chin nearing her sternum.
�I�m tired.�
Simon watched an orderly wheel her away before getting up to leave. He stepped out onto the tree-lined avenue, where heat shimmer rose off the tarmac road, and walked briskly and lightly. The rest of his classmates would be in maths class now. He�d missed a lot of school lately. With his thick glasses, his weight and his mannerisms, he was fodder for bullying. They punched his arms black and blue.
None of that mattered now though. He felt blessed with a century�s wisdom, and things seemed in perspective like never before. He broke into a light run as he rounded the corner of Larch Mews. Not a moment to waste.
Matthew Clarke, his best, his only friend, was sitting at the window reading. Matthew was off school with laryngitis and looked up as Simon approached. He waved and smiled.
Simon knocked once, and murmured his line once in practice:
�I love you.�
Matthew opened the door to a flood of sunlight.
