#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> int open(const char *pathname, int flags); int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode); int creat(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);
The parameter flags is one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY or O_RDWR which request opening the file read-only, write-only or read/write, respectively, bitwise-or'd with zero or more of the following:
Some of these optional flags can be altered using fcntl after the file has been opened.
The argument mode specifies the permissions to use in case a new file is created. It is modified by the process's umask in the usual way: the permissions of the created file are (mode & ~umask). Note that this mode only applies to future accesses of the newly created file; the open call that creates a read-only file may well return a read/write file descriptor.
The following symbolic constants are provided for mode:
mode must be specified when O_CREAT is in the flags, and is ignored otherwise.
creat is equivalent to open with flags equal to O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC.
On NFS file systems with UID mapping enabled, open may return a file descriptor but e.g. read(2) requests are denied with EACCES. This is because the client performs open by checking the permissions, but UID mapping is performed by the server upon read and write requests.
If the file is newly created, its atime, ctime, mtime fields are set to the current time, and so are the ctime and mtime fields of the parent directory. Otherwise, if the file is modified because of the O_TRUNC flag, its ctime and mtime fields are set to the current time.
The (undefined) effect of O_RDONLY | O_TRUNC various among implementations. On many systems the file is actually truncated.
The O_DIRECT flag was introduced in SGI IRIX, where it has alignment restrictions similar to those of Linux 2.4. IRIX has also a fcntl(2) call to query appropriate alignments, and sizes. FreeBSD 4.x introduced a flag of same name, but without alignment restrictions. Support was added under Linux in kernel version 2.4.10. Older Linux kernels simply ignore this flag.
POSIX provides for three different variants of synchronised I/O, corresponding to the flags O_SYNC, O_DSYNC and O_RSYNC. Currently (2.1.130) these are all synonymous under Linux.

Supplement C: Preparedness and Response In Healthcare Facilities
Public Health Guidance for Community-Level Preparedness and Response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Version 2/3
A SARS outbreak may generate issues that exceed the scope of a particular healthcare facility and must be addressed at the community level, with representation from healthcare systems, public health, and industry. Some of these issues include:
- Designation of certain hospitals to be the primary providers of SARS patient care
- Designation, development, and staffing of community SARS evaluation centers
- Construction and certification of new AIIRs
- Criteria/procedures for and impact of closure of facilities
- Establishment of alternative "overflow" facilities
- Protection and training of first responders
- Personnel surge capacity for heavily affected hospitals
- Coordination of volunteer efforts
- Assistance to healthcare workers in quarantine or on home/work restrictions
- Communication with and coordination of contract staff and independent physician groups
- Implications (e.g., fit-testing) of an emergency change in respirator type during an outbreak
- Adequacy of supplies of PPE and other equipment and materials
- Coordination of donated items
- Requisition and distribution of emergency funds to assist with construction and modifications of facilities to care for SARS patients, overtime payment for healthcare and other personnel, costs of healthcare worker furloughs, lost revenues, and other expenses
- Regulations to ensure that no facility can refuse to care for patients with SARS
- Certification of new AIIRs
- Liability issues related to healthcare workers in jobs for which they are not specifically trained

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 2)
Replying here simply so people will see a key fact that I'm not seeing anyone point out. If 10 and 25 man raids gave the same loot, both would still be run by those who want said loot. Since you could do both during the same week, and have a (slightly worse than) double shot at getting the things you want.
This is by far the worst article i've read.
1. 10 mans are by far more easy than 25 mans. You dont only get new mechanics that you need to fight against, you get more damage, need more heals, bosses have more HP so you need more dps.
1.1 Except from 10 man Sarth+3D wich is more difficult than 25 man version but, the same drake drops, and its easier to get that loot in a 10man, so at the end the most difficult fight atm gives a better chance on drake wich is the "reward" everyone wants from that figth, its a 10 man.
2. 10 mans are for casual, 25 man for hardcore... yeah you can pug a 25 man, but its hard to finish it unless its a joke like Sarth no drake. Any player with little time to play can log, ask for an invite in a 10 man pug and get some free loot. But the actual 25 man raider has to study strats, farm for mats for pots and stuff, need to have the enchants on their gear and has to improve himself everytime. Why wouldnt 25 man raiders get better loot?
People asking for same loot from 10 and 25 just want free epics and be able to say that they are skilled when they arent. And 25 mans can be as fun as 10 man... everyone has their nieche but that's no reason for people not putting same effort as hardcore raiders get at their same level.
This game is easy to play, people that say there's a learning curve are just lazy and dont want to think that its pretty simple, for year it has bean Fire = Bad for you... and it has been for years if you dont get it by now, please go play some solitare.
And no im not an elitist, i like to help people in their first time in a heroic or raid, and if they fail first, sencond even a third time its ok, but 4th time killed by a lava wave... c'mon you are just playing stupid.
If they dropped the same gear, it would kill 25-man raiding. They would have to be just as difficult in order for the gear to be the same. And in that case if A and B are just as hard to do; but A takes less people than B does; you will almost always choose A than B. It's more efficient, productive, logistically logical.
Now, I am actually a 10-man raider myself. I think 25-mans are so full of distractions. Twenty five people talking on chat; twenty five people who have to show up at the same time; who have to learn the same strategy, who have to be geared. From an organizational standpoint, putting a 25-man raid together is a nightmare compared to putting a 10-man together. It doesn't mean 25 mans are harder to get through. Oh no, they are actually easier to finish. They are just harder to -start-. And IDK about you, but I don't like wasting two hours while a group gets organized. In this sense, you have to reward twenty five mans with better gear; otherwise no one would bother to organize them. Blizzard can't remove the better rewards; unless they just want 25-mans to dissappear.
That said, I think there needs to be more overlap in gear. 10-mans should drop 25% item level 213 items, for example. Would it completely kill twenty five mans? No, because if you can organize it (like in a guild), you still have an incentive to do one twenty-five man, instead of three 1o-mans. But other than that; if you really, really, really don't want to do twenty-five mans, ie. it's not fun, you wouldn't feel forced to. And why shouldn't you get just as good gear anyway? 10-mans ARE harder.
The article is ridiculous.
The blue posters already said that some 10 mans accidentally ended up being harder than 25 mans and that this was a mistake. A mistake that will not be repeated.
Now you COULD argue that it was because 25 should have been harder or that a particular 10 man should have been easier. Personally, I think you would be wasting your breath.
Move along...nothing to see here.
As a 10 man raider, i think it's silly that Naxx 25 drops better gear than Naxx 10. Generally, though, I don't have a problem with 25 man dropping better items, as long as the difficulty in Ulduar is tuned appropriately. I DO think it would be a good idea to make the disparity between 10 and 25 man smaller, say a 7-8 point difference rather than a 13 point difference. That would mean that, to a 10 man raider, 25 man loot would largely be "sidegrades" as opposed to full upgrades, but a 25 man raider would have no reason to go to 10 mans for the extra chance at loot, because theirs would be superior, if only slightly.

I''m with Alsides on this one. This article reads like a dam troll post off the wow general forums. 25man and 10man should have the same loot...you seriously think that? That's pretty outrageous, and shows how out of touch you are with what's going on. Just a few days ago GC himself mentioned the fact that any 10man encounter that's harder than a 25 is a mistake, simple as that. Chalk it up to learning the new system.
Ulduar will have a noticeable difficulty difference, 25 is harder than 10. 25 gets better gear than 10.
Ah screw it, i dont even know why i waste my time responding to the casual scrub insideer troll posts. I know you guys have to reach your quota to get paid, but these articles suck and it just reads like troll bait. The commenters are mostly idiots who downrate anyone who enjoys difficult content and effort for rewards. I can't wait until a blog with people who care about what they write shows up instead of one that just cranks out meaningless troll posts to meet the quota. I'm done here, and this site will (finally) be removed from my bookmarks. Thank you.
I couldn't disagree more (Welcomes the vote downs). I've been playing since vanilla wow and can say this with confidence. HARDCORE PLAYERS made this game as it is today! Without them Wow would be nothing compared to that. Hardcore = more people, more time put in, more commitment, etc. for the reward of setting a difference between you and the normals. Though Blizzard has extremely shortened that distance over the years. In Wow(vanilla) Raids were pretty much only for Hardcore players, Bc they mainstreamed that with KZ and Grulls:Mag, and Wotlk 10 man were more designed for casual guilds stated by Ghost. Anyone that says 25 man content wasn't for hardcore never cleared Sunwell pre-nerf. Now back to the main point; All hardcore players have left in this game is the little difficult we have and gear in 25 mans if blizzard was to give the same loot to 10 man as 25 man youd see a major lose in players in a very short time. 70% of my guild members only log on during the week for are 25 man content and sarth 3 drakes runs and never show themselves during normal hours of the day. Without that I doubt they would ever log on. The only reason they log on is for the added difficult, waiting for harder content, and the feeling of being appart of something greater. In Vanilla and BC raiding was all about Progression and being able to say I've killed such and so. But with Wotlk they have mainstreamed that to no progression, no sense of reward, no sense of accomplishment; But comes down to what GEAR, and achivements. Right now the majority of the hardcore community is relying on Uldar to spark something in us again to feel the need to get a big group of guildies together and conquer something new. But after a few months of farming were going to end up exactly where we are now... Bored,empty, mainstreamed, and nostalgic. To take away the gear difference between 10 and 25 man content would be killing off the people that made this game what it is today. HARDCORE PLAYERS!
Agreed Alex. My SPriest hit 80 on a Sunday (hit capped gear), and was doing 25 man Naxx on Tuesday, and I had no heroic gear. While my DPS (and gear) wasn't that great, that was fixed by the end of the week with a few lucky drops that no one needed. It was over a month until I finally hit 10 man Naxx, and mainly for healing gear / missing pieces of gear.
As for what's easier, I'd lean a bit towards 25 man. If a couple of people die, it's easier to pick up the slack. 25 man also gives you more buffs, heals, and advantages. 1-2 battle rezzes in 10 man vs 3 -5 in 25 man, more group heals, more OTs, etc. Now of course 25 man boss mechanics are generally a bit more difficult (more health, etc), but 10s are easier to pug.
Personally I'm waiting to see how "hard" Ulduar really is. People are still going to run 25 Ulduar just for the rare gear, as when you come down to it, for some people it's all about the toys and who has them and who doesn't :)
If 10 man raids were just as challenging as 25's then it would be fine. This could only lead to more people getting geared in the long run. So make Tier gear available in 10/25 man raids and a few key pieces that are slightly better available in hardmodes for those hardcore guys that just have to be sporting something better than the norm.
This could cause blizzard to have to come out with more content or insane hardmodes (which is completely acceptable). I don't see any problem with this as long as blizz does not have any differences in tactics between the 10 and 25 man raid.
Being hardcore doesn't make you hardcore because of the gear you have. Truly being hardcore means doing something better than the other guy who has the same stuff as you through a means of skill and patience/practice. Give those guys more unique titles and mounts thats all they really need anyway. Give them something that will let them spawn Time-Lost Proto-Drakes whenever they please. Giving them better gear only makes the hard content easier for them. Whats so hardcore about that?

Coming from a guild that struggles to get a full compliment of 25 fellow guildees to do a 25 man run i find this idea a bit silly.
To put it simply, it's got nothing to do with the difficulty of either version of the instance. If 10 man rewards were the same as 25 man it would be a far simpler thing to run 2x10 man teams than 1x25 man team. The hardcore guilds would most likely do that AND then run both teams +5 through the 25 man stuff again thus making 25 mans a hardcore only niche for those who want bonus loot everyweek.
Regardless of that, as others have mentioned, when 10 man is easier than 25, it is considered a mistake and claimed not to be done again. I'd hardly say 10 man raz is easier than 25 man, that has been an obstacle for our guild for a long time.(not now though)
It's worth mentioning that 10-man HARD MODE bosses do drop equal level gear to 25man bosses in Ulduar... i believe.
I agree w/ the article that the change would not kill 25-man raids.......initially anyway. Let me explain: In my current situation, the only drop I have interest in from Naxx10 or 25 is the Wall of Terror off KT25. Because there is no longer a drop I want in Naxx10, I dont run it. Now, if the Wall of Terror dropped off of KT10 and KT25, I'd be running both versions every week to get 2 shots a week at the shield. Eventually I'd get it and stop running both. Its not like anyone has any use whatsoever for badges anymore w/ the slim selection we've been given to choose from, so those aren't much of a motivating factor to keep raiding. In Ulduar, ppl would only be running 25-mans to get a 2nd shot at gear that they wanted but didnt get in the 10-man each week. Ppl would simply get geared up twice as fast, and then spend less time playing WoW at all or raiders would switch their focus to PvP to keep from being bored all the time. In the end, the gear parity you speak of would diminish interest in the game and undermine Blizzard's own interests, which is to keep ppl coming back every month and filling their pockets a bit more. This is a business afterall. They do this to make money first, everything else second.
To Alsides I see it completely different, 25 man Naxx is just something you pug while you cannot afford to have too many sub par players in Naxx 10.
The differences to the fights are not all that much and as long as you have a core of quality players in Naxx25 you can handle them leaving the rest of the pug to fill in.
Saying that I find it hard to justify going 25 man content if its only going to drop the same loot as 10 man. If anything here the problem is that the 25 man content is way too easy, its not heroic mode and even Blizzard admit it (even Ghostcrawler talks about Naxx welfare epics).
For me the problem really could be solved here easily by having different instances for different raid numbers (just like in the highly popular original WoW) and drop the 25 man's completely except for outside bosses.
The reason I'd drop 25 mans here is simple, they don't fit into scale, we should have 10 man, 20 man and 40 man raids, that way multiple guilds can combine easily to form larger raids and get more people involved in the end game, 25 man just doesn't fit and never did in TBC.
Hardly true - I can name a bunch of fights in Naxx that are lol easy compared to the 10 man version - especially starting out when gear isn't so great.
Grobbulus for instance - the first time I ever did him on 25 man we lost 10 players to stupidity, but *we still downed him*. First time we did 10 man grob we worked out that if anyone messed up and died it was a raid wipe. Now days dps is so good this boss is hardly an issue, but point it - it was way way easier on 25 man - almost faceroll easy.
Same with Gluth. In 10 man if you don't have a class that is decent at kiting mobs it can be really hard - in 25 you almost always have 5+ people always that can deal with him. Same with 4h - in 10 man if you didn't bring at least one hybrid that knows how to heal himself - it can be rather troubling.
Saph 3d should be a fight geared around 10 man gear, but its not and neither are any of the 10 man achievements. The only guilds I know of on my server that have finished Saph 3d and glory of the raider did it with all best in slot 25 man items.
So I wear my 10 man gear with pride because I know it was harder to get than the 25 man counterpart. If anything its ilevel should be higher in some cases.
I raid 25s because 10s are stupid. The encounters are more difficult and the gear is not as good.
Did I say more difficult? Yes, I did. You can carry several weak players through most 25-man content. You can't in 10s - the weaknesses are more exposed because there aren't as many people to cover for them.
Sure there's more damage done in 25s, but there are more healers. If the raid takes damage, they have 5-6 people to heal them up, rather than 2. With one person focusing on the tank, that's 4-5 healers vs 1 to heal the raid.
If you think 25 is "hardcore", you're doing it wrong. It's cakewalk.
What really needs to be done is making it so there are two, distinct progression paths: 10 man and 25 man. So a guild chooses one path and sticks to it rather than doing both like is the case at the moment.
I'm not sure how you would make this happen or whether gear parity is the way forward considering the extra time investment and effort required for 25s but to make 10 man raids - and indeed 10 man raid guilds - viable they need to be a distinct progression path and not the ugly sister of the 25s.

I cried after the first one.
(via bravegirl-living)
ordered some nakd bars and they sent me a TREK cocoa coconut and cocoa orange free bars, last time i also got a cocoa orange bar and gingerbread bar.
started freaking out over why they keep sending me the ones i can't have and that im scared of and my mom turned around and went "did you pick them? they were free they don't know you won't eat them, they're free to try don't worry about it" this helped because actually they DON'T know. i had no reason to freak…but yeah it was still scary at the time!
i've been getting sick of food lately.. always following the same plan and not really looking forward to any of it…been kind of bored by food now…but after 2 days of no nakd bars i miss them! back to the 'usual' snacks tomorrow i'm thinking! :)

Day 1 HELP!!
I am starting Atkins and am on day 1 of induction. I would love some support and ideas from either newbies like me or someone who knows the ins-outs of this plan! I am a 50 year old female. I need to lose 40 lbs. thanks!!
I'd read and re-read the book and then start reading the various threads
definitely get the book. it has all you will ever need to know and may be a bit easier than picking through the posts. the posts will be great when you understand the science behind this way of life!
good luck!
this is my second time on atkins and now that the baby factory is closed i am on it for good :)
Im on day one too Mrs Slate. lets do this.
Gotta Second and Third- find ya a Dr Atkins book, read induction and then hit the grocery store for your New yummy goods! And come here whenever you need support or have Any questions! We're all here for you!
thanks! I got the book over the weekend.
How are you doing with this??
zo--- slate-- how are you doing so far?
Hello all - Today is my first day; definitely a lot to take in. I lost quite a bit of weight a couple of years ago and have another 20-25 pounds to lose. I am hopeful Atkins will get me over the plateau I've been stuck in for the past year. I am seriously addicted to carbs and sugar - I expect the first few weeks to be tough, but hoping to get helps from this site.
DQ..thanx for asking! Well, in ketosis got on scale this am up 1lb from yesterday ??? I had a dt Mt dew which is my downfall and a cup of coffee yesterday plus Pms so hoping that's the issue...how about you?
Hi. I think we're all garb addicts!
Can you be in ketosis and gain?
Please post your menu for some feedback.
I am a newbie. It is my second day.
1. breakfest - quark Quark cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia with milled flaxseeds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds.
2. lunch - Greek salad = tomatoes, cucumber, greek cheese, salt, pepper, garlic
3. tea - grapefruit with cream
4. dinner - chicken breast from yesterday,
cocktail strawberries, soya milk, cream
I have a headache but my belly is full. I think I am in a wrong tread because I prefer ketosis.
Msslate...i neve stray far from strict induction...but the other day i had a few almonds and pecans and some lc peanut butter, and i decided that's a bad idea...for now.
Gladiator... You are eating some non-induction foods, do you realize that?
I am not sure which one but it is possible. I try to focus to rid off carbs. What I eat and I should not?
Day number 3
B: Hard cheese Emmental, soya milk with milled flax seed+walnut+almonds,

(evening unplanned cheese, soya milk)
I waked up twice during nigh to go toilet. I try drink a lot of green tea, ginger tea
Gladiator - you also need to measure everything. How much emmenthal are you eating for breakfast? you can only have a spoonful of flax or so a day - to help with regularity but not for other reasons. No nuts during the first two weeks. you can have soy milk if it is UNSWEETENED. same for almond milk. CHECK your labels. your menu doesn't look like a lot of food-- how MUCH chicken salad (and that means how many ounces of chicken and how many TB of mayonnaise) -- how MUCH asparagus?
HERE is the Atkins Quick Start list of Induction Foods. Nothing else is allowed for the first two weeks. You are partly shocking your body and brain into submission (haha) but also ensuring that you go into ketosis make sure that you dont eat more than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day, and those carbs really should be from leafy green vegetables. Broccoli is your best friend during these first two weeks.
Use a set of measuring cups for measuring your vegetables and a small scale (food or mail scale) to measure your meats. Dont worry about anything elsejust eat these foods. You dont have to drink so much water that youre getting up in the middle of the night.
If you have something you want to eat and it is not on this list, don't eat it (for the two weeks). Then ask! GOOD LUCK!!! you are motivated and you are going to LOSE WEIGHT!
Most fish, poultry and meat don't contain carbs so you can feel free to enjoy them, but be sure you're also getting your 12 to 15 grams of net carbs in vegetables as well.
All fish including:
Dont eat that fake crab stuff from Japan
All fowl including:
Cornish hen
All shellfish including:
*Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs so limit to about 4 ounces per day.
All meat including:
Some processed meat, bacon, and ham is cured with sugar, which will add to the carb count. Also steer clear of cold cuts and other meats with added nitrates.
You can eat Eggs, Eggs and more Eggs!!! Eggs are one of nature's most nutritious creations. And get creative with your eggs: Add mushrooms or a little cheese. Herbs are fine: basil, oregano, dill are all great.
Eggs in any style, including:
CHEESE!! But keep in mind that cheese contains carbs, about 1 gram per ounce. You may have about 3 to 4 ounces of cheese per day. An ounce is about the size of an individually wrapped slice of American cheese or a 1" cube.
You should be eating approximately 12 to 15 grams of net carbs per day in the form of vegetables, which is equivalent to several cups depending on the actual carb content of the veggies you select.

* Limit lemon and lime juices to 3 T per day
thanks Dairy Queen
Plan for tomorrow
B:omelet 3 eggs (olive oil - against stick to pan), two slices of emmental, salt & pepper (1 gram carbs)
L: 2 cups Iceberg lettuce, 5 small mushrooms, beef steak 150g (2 grams carbs)
Afternoon tea: small avocado, salt, pepper (2.5 grams carbs)
D: 2 cups steamed broccoli with two tablespoon cream (3.2 + 0.9 grams carbs)
Drinks during day green tea, ginger tea, water,
Calcium, Magnesium, D vitamin, another vitamins and minerals
Total 9.6 grams of carbs, I hope I will survive it.
that looks great ! and you have room in case you get hungry .... maybe some cold chicken or some celery or radishes?
Help, help, help, I am hungry!!!
Thanks DAIRY QUEEN
But to be ready for tomorrow.
B: 4 slices ham and 3 eggs (0.8g)
L: 1 cup bell pepper and mixture of herbs, 112g tuna and 150g quark (4.6 + 0+4.5
Afternoon tea: nothing
D: 2 cups steamed broccoli, 2 spoons cream, 2 slices hard cheese cheddar
(3.2 + 0.9 grams carbs)
Total 14
Drinks during day green tea, ginger tea, water,
Calcium, Magnesium, D vitamin, another vitamins and minerals
looks terrific. Just remember, don't let yourself get hungry and don't eat if you aren't hungry! Enjoy what you eat!
I have great success when I follow this plan to the letter, actually farther than the letter. But all the advice so far is very good here. I also keep the pantry and fridge stocked full of low carb options. I will cook bacon and sausage and keep in zip locks ready to eat. I also have a smoke house near buy that has proscuitto, lardo, pancetta etc. I keep them handy and eat when hungry. I also keep pork rinds in the car ready to eat incase I feel the urge to cheat.
And having the book is and absolute must when doing this diet. Everybody suggesting it was some of the best advice on this thread. It is an easy read and a nice place to look for ideas and answer questions. I have read it more times than I can count and it is a awesome place to get information.
Dairyqueen knows a lot about this plan and always has good advice. Like do not ever get hungry, that is another kiss of death on this WOE. When hungry your are so much more tempted to fall off and cheat. I sometimes eat like a pig but as long as I do not eat carbs I am good to go. May not lose any weight for a day, but I did not lose multiple days trying to get back into ketosis. So always have no carb food handy.
That is my two cents hope it helps
Stay on plan during weekend.
B: 2spoon cream, 125 quark , 1 cup unsweteened soya. 7carbs
L: 1 cup cauliflower, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup cucumber 3.8carbs
D: sardines in sunflower oil, 1 cup belly pepper 7 carbs
total 17.8 carbs
Nothing about fat? I thought Atkins Induction included lots of fat. :confused:
Keep your eye on YOUR goal and you'll way more easily navigate around the discouraging obstacles.

I will buy test ketone strips in urine to have more fun.

Your biggest problem (or at least, my biggest problem...) with trying to share gear between elemental and resto is that Elemental has a spirit/hit cap. In 5-mans, you'll be sitting on absurd amounts of hit that will do nothing for you; I suspect the problem repeats itself in raids once you start getting raid-geared.
The other stats all have uses, even if elemental wants to reforge all its crit away while most advice for resto I've seen recommends the same for mastery (though I can't call it a bad stat.)
It's certainly doable, but you need to decide ahead of time which is your main spec for enchanting/gemming/reforging purposes. Then, as you gear up, you can pick up alternate pieces that let you fine tune things like your hit cap or whatever.

Last night, I managed to make it out to a local munch at a new venue for the munch. It was insanely loud, but it was really neat to be able to see friends, talk about all sorts of silly crazy things, and even get into very deep conversations about gender, gender identity, hormone effects, and perceptions of gender in a professional environment. Not what you'd normally expect at a munch, but it was really awesome.
Another thing that was awesome, is somebody said that they looked at me when I came in, and I didn't read as Trans to them, I didn't read as a guy, I read as a woman. Frankly, that just rocked to me, and made me very happy. It is odd to me that I'm having to explain to people that I'm trans in a community with a larger then average transgendered population…. something tells me I'm kind of blending in.
It was refreshing to get out, talk to people, and leave my worries at home. Plus friends that were in the know kept giving me hugs. It was great… and I'm such a girl now because I'm crying. And now my Corgi is looking at me all concerned.
On top of the munch this week, I'm going to a new support group that was formed at a nearby university next monday. They meet weekly which is going to be impossible for me to get to when it starts every week, but I'll make an effort for the first one and see where things go. It primarily caters to students on campus, but it will hopefully be a good venue for me to make some new friends, and maybe my experience will help those who are kind of questioning or exploring.
Now for my bit about head hunters. I'm amazingly surprised how gendered head hunters can be. Prior to my transition, I very rarely received or phone calls from female head hunters, like it was a once in a blue moon thing. Now that my resume is circulating with my new name (because I was tired of people calling for my old name all the bloody time), I'm being contacted by female head hunters about 80% of the time, and male head hunters the other 20% of the time. Maybe its a market shift, but it just makes me wonder if thats how the the disparity in pay rates between the genders is being perpetuated. Just food for thought, or maybe consumption.

BTTxReader: Bad Touch Party"Come on _________, just this one party," your friend Eliza begged. For weeks she had been trying to get you out of your basement and to one of the many parties that were being thrown for the last few months of the school year.You looked up from your math homework, "For the last time no. However, if you want to go and get wasted be my guest.""But ____________~ anybody who's anybody is going to be there!" she whined. "Please, please, please, please, plllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase!""Eliza, no!""But Roderich is going to be there!" she whined. Her elaborate plan was to confess to him and if he didn't accept she could say she was drunk off her butt. "If I don't have a wingwoman I'm doomed!""Seriously
wingwoman?" you asked. "Why don't you ask
I don't know anybody but me!"Eliza scowled, "I won't force you to wear a dress."You glared at her."Or drink."Glare."Ok, ok, I won't force you to dance either.""Fine," you spat.Eliza's face lit up, "Thank you, thank you, thank y
BTTxReader: Three Is Better Than OneIt wasn't a wild party, but people were defiantly up to no good. There was some drinking and some of the gamers were sitting in front of the TV playing video games. There were even a few couples making out. And of course what party wouldn't be complete without that totally awful teen drama?"___________, we're over," your boyfriend told you with a smile in front of all your friends.Your eyes widened, "Wha-what?"He smirked, "You heard me, we're over. I was starting to get tired of you weeks ago. (Name you hate) is so much better than you I've been hooking up with her for weeks now…"Tears came to your eyes, "Fine." With that you left, leaving your ex with a bloody nose and a bruised jaw. Sitting outside on the curb you called your friends. "Could you pick me up?""What's up ___________?" Gilbert asked."Something wrong?" Antonio asked.Furrowing your eyebrows
BTTxReader: Ich Liebe Dich, Te Amo, Je t'aimeYou were friends, or at least you thought you were, with the members of the infamous Bad Touch Trio. Gilbert, Francis, and Antonio had always had a special place in your heart. No matter how perverted, rude, or even border line sexual harassy they got you were still friends.You just didn't realize that your friendship was about to come to a close."Hey ___________, want to come to a party at my house tonight?" asked Gilbert slinging his arm around your shoulders."Sure, is the gang gonna be there?"He laughed, "Kensesesese~ of course __________. It wouldn't be a party without the gang."~time skip brought to you by the AWSOME PRUSSIA!!!; Look at my soldiers and their mean faces, I taught them that face.

You didn't know why he seemed to pick on and call you names more. "Umm, well we have our cooking lesson today. I just wanted to know if he was on his way.""What cooking lesson?" he shouted into the phone.You let out a squeak, "H-He's been teaching me how to cook." Then the phone went dead, "L-Lovino? Are you there?" No answer. After that you put the phone back. "I guess Feli is on his way."The doorbell rang and you answered it to find the bubbly Italian, "You ready _________~?"You nodded smiling, "I was getting worried. What are we making today?""Pastaaaaa~.""But Feli we made pasta last time, could we try something else." You asked, "Maybe a dessert?"Feliciano looked very thoughtful for a moment, "Hmm, biscotti?"You smiled
F.A.C.E.xReader: Movie Night"Artie, get the popcorn!" you shouted. "The movie's starting!""Don't call me that!"Alfred pulled you onto his lap. "Come on babe; move over so Artie can sit down."Francis gave a pervyish laugh as your face turned red."A-Al!""Ohonhon, you don't want to sit on Alfred's lap, who don't you sit on mine?""Shut up you perverted frog!""Guys the movie's starting," Matthew whispered.A small voice from Matthew's bear asked, "Who are you."Matt sighed, "I'm Matthew
""Dude, Matt, I didn't see you there!""Be quiet Alfie," you said using the nickname you knew he hated. His face turned red and he shut up.AVENGERSAfter the movie was over Alfred jumped up and shouted, "THAT WAS AWESOME!"You had fallen to the floor and on top of Francis."Mon cher, all you had to do was-.""Knock it off," everyone said.You ended up sitting on Francis's lap for the next movie which was England's choice.

In fantasy baseball, the closer position remains volatile. Rarely does every closer hang on to the job for an entire season - injuries, poor performance and managerial decisions cloud a team's bullpen picture.
Should you be concerned about a struggling stopper? Which relievers are climbing the depth chart? Have any injuries popped up? KFFL.com's Fantasy Baseball Closer Hot Seat keeps you informed when you're looking for saves.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Closer: Jonathan Broxton
Understudy: Hong-Chih Kuo
Lurkers: Kenley Jansen
Brox primarily threw fastballs in his first spring action, retiring three of the four batters he faced Monday. It's early, but skipper Don Mattingly was merely glad Broxton didn't have much trouble.
The righty is considering throwing more split-finger fastballs this season but hasn't shown a heavy desire to do so. Given he was struggling so much with his top two pitches last season, it'd be interesting for him to experiment with a third. It's a possible avenue for him to rediscover his high 2009 grounder rate. It's just another layer of Broxton's recovery to watch.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2010
Flurry, Inc., a leading mobile application analytics, monetization and promotion service provider, today announced the public availability of AppCircle Rewards, an add-on solution for Apple iOS game developers using AppCircle. AppCircle Rewards enables game makers to integrate their own virtual currency systems into AppCircle, Flurry's recommendation-driven application cross selling network, to reward application downloads and significantly increase revenue. Released earlier this month, AppCircle Rewards is already delivering eCPMs of more than $ 50 to game developers.
"Advertisement has become a strong revenue stream for social games on iOS devices," said Simon Khalaf, president and CEO of Flurry. "In addition to generating record eCPMs for performance-based networks, AppCircle Rewards delivers a great app discovery solution to iPhone gamer developers."
According to eMarketer, a marketing research firm focused on digital media, marketers will spend $ 220 million worldwide to advertise within social games and applications during 2010, rising to $ 293 million in 2011. These figures are in addition to sales of virtual goods, offered via in-app purchases. AppCircle Rewards facilitates this advertising spend by benefiting the end-users and generating significant revenues for game developers.
"Using AppCircle Rewards, we've consistently earned eCPMs exceeding $ 60, even at scales of tens of thousands of downloads," said David Tsai, cofounder and CEO of Zhurosoft. "Integrating our virtual currency system from High School Hero into Flurry's API was simple and flexible."
While AppCircle Rewards was conceived for game publishers with virtual currency, the solution works equally well for any app with virtual goods or currency. Developers can reward users for downloading AppCircle-recommended apps with any virtual item they choose. Participating as AppCircle publishers, developers earn 60% of the install price charged to the advertiser, creating a meaningful incremental revenue source.
"AppCircle Rewards is a win-win for us and our users," said Justin Maples, CEO of Broken Thumbs Apps. "Offering users bonus virtual currency for downloading Flurry powered app recommendations has increased user engagement for our most popular app, Zombie Duck Hunt, while allowing us to earn additional revenue."
Integrating AppCircle Rewards is flexible for game publishers. It can be integrated into a game-wide offers section, promoting alternate payment options for virtual goods. The solution can also be used for time-based promotions, such as weekend offers, and loyalty rewards offers, such as providing an incentive for return-users.
Game developers interested in AppCircle Rewards are encouraged to contact their Flurry account managers for help getting started. Emails can also be sent to appcircle(at)flurry(dot)com.
To learn more about Flurry Analytics and Flurry AppCircle, please visit http://www.flurry.com.
About AppCircle
AppCircle is Flurry's application cross selling network, available for iOS and in beta for Android. Application developers can use AppCircle as publishers, promoters or both. As publishers, developers integrate Flurry into their applications, enabling Flurry to serve targeted application recommendations to their consumers. Publishers earn 60% of the price promoters pay for each app download. As promoters, application developers create campaigns and set bids on how much they are willing to pay for a new user. Flurry's recommendation engine will match relevant promoter apps to display in publisher apps, and then use bidding to rank the order in which impressions are shown.
About Flurry
Flurry is a leading smartphone application analytics and monetization platform used by more than 45,000 applications across iOS, Android, Blackberry and J2ME. Flurry tracks over three billion end user application sessions each month.
Flurry is venture-backed with offices in San Francisco and New York. For more information, please visit http://www.flurry.com.

Survival of the Fittest
- Wednesday, May 07, 2003
When it comes to survival in the business of rock 'n' roll, the odds are heavily stacked against bands. Watch almost any episode of VH1's "Behind the Music," and you'll hear a familiar story of musicians experiencing the traditional 15 minutes of fame, only to be dumped by the record label and have their albums end up in the bargain bins at Tower Records.
And with a much smaller and even more unpredictable fanbase, that story seems to play out in fast forward in the Christian music world. It's not very often that a Christian band stays viable past a decade. But that's exactly what Audio Adrenaline has accomplished with nine albums to its credit, including its latest effort, "Worldwide" (ForeFront), and a tour itinerary that never seems to quit.
So what's the secret to success for a band that makes a living encouraging youth groups? Humor, catchy songs, plenty of prayer and a policy of checking egos at the door.
When sitting down for an interview with Audio Adrenaline, it's best not to prepare a traditional list of questions because the answers will never make an interesting story. But let the band members just be themselves, and you'll not only learn a lot, but you'll laugh a lot, too.
As the foursome huddles around a small table to chat, they jokingly provide the dirt on each other the way an older brother would pick on a younger sibling. Known for an undying love for Johnny Cash, filmmaking and an endless knowledge of musical trivia, according to his bandmates, drummer Ben Cissell reveals that AA frontman Mark Stuart has an identity crisis.
"The funny thing about Mark is that he wants to be 'Johnny Hollywood,' but he's always going to be 'Virgil Owensboro,'" Ben says with a maniacal laugh. "He wants to be the guy who hangs out in Hollywood and dresses really nicely, but he can't hide the fact that he's from Owensboro, Kentucky. It comes out of him every once in a while — the 'Opie-ness.' He's fun, but he's still got a bit of the mullet inside of him. He really likes all the Hollywood style, but his favorite movie is 'Footloose.'"
"No, it's 'Jaws,'" Stuart retorts.
"OK, so his favorite movies are 'Footloose' and 'Jaws,'" says Cissell. "But it's not really the movie — it's the lifestyle. He wishes he were Kevin Bacon and had that 'Footloose' sort of life."
"That simply isn't true," Stuart argues.
Five minutes later when we've begun another conversation, Stuart absently adds, "Maybe George Clooney but not Kevin Bacon. Dude, I've only seen 'Footloose' once my entire life."
Cissell looks at him and jokes, "Man, are you still talking about that?"
But long after the teasing has ended, the men have nothing but compliments for each other. Cissell acknowledges that Stuart's spiritual leadership and sharp business sense have held the band together for 11 years. Stuart claims it's bassist (and the only AA member sporting a mohawk) Will McGinniss who has done so. "Will is the heart of Audio Adrenaline — the oil that keeps us spinning. He has this huge compassionate heart and works the hardest, specifically on the road."
Rounding out the group and stepping up with more lead vocals (you heard his voice on the band's recent hit "Ocean Floor") is the occasionally shy, sensitive guitarist Tyler Burkum. While Stuart says Burkum will have a successful solo career long after Audio Adrenaline has retired, Burkum is self-deprecating about his talent and laughs at his inability to get a guitar endorsement "because I can't sell myself."

News, links, research, and product announcements from XOXCO in Austin, TX.
I spoke with Hamish McKenzie at Pando Daily about the opportunities and challenges that digital publishers face when considering their content archives:
"We work with publishers all the time, and it kills me to see their archives just sitting there," Brown says. XOXCO, for instance, designed the original website for literary Web publisher The Rumpus. Every day, thousands of readers come to the site for the first time but never read the stuff that was published in its early days. The publication has thousands of high-quality articles sitting in their database, which reaches back to 2009 and is just begging for a readership, Brown says. "To me that seems like a business opportunity."
Get in touch if you want to start taking advantage of that business opportunity. Read more about web archives here.

Well, apparently I can't answer fanmails unless we're following each other's blogs, so screenshot.
I honestly don't think I will. I've been actually considering deleting it, but I keep thinking that maybe one day I'll finally find the time and motivation to get back to it. So really, I can't give a good answer. Right now, probably not. In a few months, maybe. I really don't know.
Reblogging this here. I'm really sorry. I kind of got engrossed in other stuff, and never got to getting the blog back up. I don't want to declare permanent hiatus just yet, because I still kind of want to continue it, even though right now, I wouldn't have the time. Sorry it took so long for me to give you guys an update on this whole thing sooner, I'll be honest and admit I forgot to.

A former Maricopa County Sheriff's Office detention officer will spend the next two years on the other side of the bars for stabbing his father during an alcohol-fueled fight.
Judge Margaret Mahoney sentenced CJ Joe, 28, on Friday to two years in prison as part of a plea agreement.
CJ Joe, a detention officer at the Maricopa County Durango Jail, stabbed his father, Curtis Joe, 55, with a Swiss Army knife at a home near 107th Avenue and Thomas Road after a night of drinking, police said in court paperwork.
CJ Joe's sister, Lauren Joe, said the father and son were arguing politics when CJ Joe stabbed their father on April 21, 2013. Officers found CJ Joe standing over his father, who was lying in the driveway.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said the Avondale Police Department arrested CJ Joe on suspicion of attempted murder.
CJ Joe has been employed with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as a Detention Officer since 2005.

Windham Garden Club's plant sale keeps growing

Gardeners and green thumbs of all ages, some of them driving for an hour or more to attend the Windham Garden Club's annual plant sale on Saturday morning, arrived early and prepared, eager to get their hands on the season's best pickings.
Proceeds from the sale are used toward college scholarships for local students, with all 60 or so of the club's members participating in the very popular event.
Last year's raffle winners, Windham residents Susan Martineau and Roger Kinchen, rose early on Saturday morning to march to the front of the line, their wheelbarrows and red Radio Flyer wagons trailing behind them.
As she waited by the front of the gate to be admitted for a 15-minute solo trip around the plant sale, Martineau glanced around the parking lot, taking in the fragrant view of peonies, hanging tomatoes and succulents.
"Let me tell you, her garden is thriving right now," German added.
This year's sale was a first for Kinchen, having been given the lucky ticket by his friend Cheryl Cravino.
"Just look at those perennials," Kinchen said as he made a beeline for a display of bergamot and butterfly bushes.
"The tables will be a lot smaller by 1 o'clock," German noted, adjusting the colorful silk flowers on her straw hat. "Looks like we'll be pretty cleared out again this year."
"I haven't missed one yet," said Griffis, whose son lives nearby. "The plants here are simply beautiful; they'll keep me going all summer long."
