Playing a Paladin is in many ways a balancing act. Sure you can heal, tank or DPS, but you can't do any of them especially well unless you specialize in one of them through gear and talents. By doing so you give up much of your flexibility due to specialization and spending time on that one area, this leads to becoming weaker in the other two areas. Part of playing a Paladin is finding the balance point that suits your play style. Do you want to specialize in one thing or stay a jack of all trades?
Flexibility - Choosing a Play style, but be prepared to play an alternate one when needed
As mentioned above, playing a Paladin involves a lot of choices. As soon as you get to level 10 and are able to select a specialization you will have to start making those choices. From that point on you should start focusing on your style and collecting gear that will enhance it. Between your specialization, talents and gear you can be formidable at whatever you choose to do. Be prepared though for those times when you want to play in a group and they need something other than your primary role.
For those times you need to do something else, make sure you have a collection of gear either in your bank or bags that allow you to fulfil other roles. If you are mainly a DPS based Paladin for example, make sure you have a set of healing gear for those times when you might need it. Doing this will allow you to join far more groups that you could normally find if you just had gear for one thing. Even though you are not specialized in what that group is looking for, with the right gear you can be competent.
Staying Alive
There are few other classes that can take as much of a beating as a Paladin and none that can do it as well on their own. Sure a Warrior, Death Knight or Druid in bear form can have as much or more armour and health, but neither can heal themselves (unless the druid drops to normal form and takes a beating). As soon as you hit level 40 you are the only class other than Warriors and Death Knights that can wear plate armour.
Between good armour, a shield, stuns, heals and your bubbles you can survive or escape almost anything within several levels of you.
When you get in a tight situation focus on mana and health as a priority and don't worry about doing a ton of damage. Wear the opponent down over time. this should include having a seal of light or wisdom judged on them and the opposite up on you. Use one of your bubbles or stuns whenever you can and bandage yourself during that time to conserve mana. Drink mana potions instead of healing potions as you can heal yourself with mana.
Run as a last resort. However if you use the above method you can generally survive an enemy several levels higher than you are quite easily. The fight will not be quick (sometimes 5-10 minutes) but you will survive.
Solo Play
When playing the game solo, you really only have 2 options. Play as Retribution or play as Protection, even then Protection builds are not really viable until at least level 40 for soloing. In most cases you will want to solo and play as a Retribution Paladin so that you can cause as much damage as possible, get out of combat, heal, and look for another fight. If you ever really get into trouble you have stuns, bubbles, and heals going for you.
Playing a Paladin in a Group
Your role in a group as a Paladin really depends on what specialization you are. Because each one is so different we will look at them one at a time. Before we do though realize that all Paladins should ensure they have the most beneficial blessing up on the group, factoring in themselves and other players in the group. Also make sure they do not overlap with any other Paladin in the group.
Protection Paladin - When you spec into Protection you are becoming a tank. Your role in the group is to get things mad at you, keep them attacking you, and taking as much of the damage as you can. One of your best tools as a tank is your Righteous Fury ability which lets you generate extra threat from all of your holy damage caused. In addition to this you have Consecration, which will cause holy damage to everything around you. Team that up with Holy Wrath that hits everything nearby with additional Holy damage, Hammer of the Righteous that deals holy damage to nearby enemies, and Shield of the Righteous that bounces between enemies, and you have a solid grasp on things. Between these things Paladins have gained the reputation as the best AoE tank in the game.
Check out the updated: Big Guide of Tanking Mists of Pandaria Edition for lots of great tanking information.
Outdated but still usefull - There is a lot more to being a Paladin Tank in a group though than just keeping Righteous Fury up and casting Consecration. There is so much more that we have created a separate guide on How to be a Tankadin and discussed it more in Cataclysm Shakes Up Paladin Tanking Semi-Hardcore #4.
Retribution Paladin - This type of Paladin is the damage dealing melee monster. No other Paladin build can do as much damage in most situations as a Retribution Paladin. Retribution Paladins can do significant AOE damage while mixing it up in melee by using their Seal of Command talent, Divine Storm, Holy Wrath and Consecration.
There is a lot to know if you chose to be a Retribution Paladin and smite your foes with your righteous powers. There is so much more that you will need to know that we have created a separate guide on How to Be a Retadin.
Holy Paladin - As a Holy Paladin your job in a group is probably the hardest. Your job is to keep everyone else alive. Primarily that means your efforts will be focused on the Tank in the group, however with all the DPS players that like to jump the gun, or Tanks that can not hold aggro on more than one target at a time, your life is likely to be hectic healing one person and then another. One of your most important talents as a Holy Paladin is your huge heal called Divine Light, since it heals such a large amount. Also Your Holy Radiance ability which, while expensive mana wise, heals everyone nearby over time. You also have a self preservation bubble and a bubble that can protect another player or yourself. Other than that you have single target heals, but some of the biggest, fastest and most mana efficient in the game.
Being a Holy Paladin is complicated and much more needs to be explained than can be done in a few paragraphs here. To help you we have created a more in depth guide on How to be a Healadin.
Knowing When to Switch Roles
This is another very often overlooked skill that truly separates the good players from the herd. Many normal players get focused just on what they are doing and lose track of what else is going on. As a multi-purpose class you can not afford to do that, if you want to be great as a group PvE player. There are times you need to be able to switch from what you are doing to do something else. For example, even though you may be in a group as DPS, realizing a healer went down, and dropping out of the attack to heal (even though they will be small) could make all the difference. Being a tank and knowing when to bubble another player (especially a healer) can make all the difference as well. Recognizing the times that you should switch roles and acting them takes practice and can make all the difference in a group.
For longer changes it may mean carrying gear for different purposes and being skilled at using it. For instance many Paladin tanks carry full healing or DPS sets for raids, so that when they are at a fight that requires less tanks than they have in the group they can switch gear and help out in another capacity. For these longer term switches you should have a secondary talent build ready to go.

Double, double, toil and trouble! William Shakespeare wasn't talking about drug names when he wrote this line in his play, Macbeth, but he sure had the right idea! Today, many medicines have names that look very similar to the names of other medicines. So mix-ups are possible when a pharmacist fills your prescription, especially if it's a handwritten prescription, as the following example shows.
Which rheumatoid arthritis medicines carry the greatest risk of infection? Which diabetes medicines are most often associated with congestive heart failure? Which medicines for depression are most likely to cause nausea or sleeplessness? Which medicines for high blood pressure cause the least side effects?
A 34-year-old woman with severe redness, pain, and peeling of her face, shoulders, and arms visited an emergency department. She had spent several hours at an outdoor flea market and developed the worst case of sunburn she had ever suffered.
Vitamins and other nutrients are important for a healthy pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant often receive nutritional counseling and/or a prescription for prenatal vitamins. A prenatal vitamin will not make up for poor nutrition. But it can provide a woman with vitamins and minerals they may not be getting in food.
Products known as Miracle Mineral Solution, Miracle Mineral Supplement, and MMS (Figure 1) have been reported to cause life-threatening reactions and should not be used. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first warned consumers in July 2010 about the product. However, it is still being sold on the Internet by a number of distributors. These distributors claim MMS can be used to treat multiple diseases including colds, acne, cancer, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, H1N1 flu virus, and more. However, FDA is not aware of any research proving the product is effective against these diseases. So, FDA is advising consumers to stop using the product immediately, particularly since it causes serious side effects.

As we listen to the news, it is clear that the current recession has impacted nearly every sector of the economy. According to 848 respondents to a survey we conducted in September through November 2009, healthcare is likely no exception. Our survey findings support conclusions drawn from an earlier 2009 survey by the American Hospital Association (AHA), which found that the economy has taken a toll on the patients and communities that hospitals serve.
A nurse caring for a patient who was unable to swallow LOVAZA (omega-3-acid ethyl esters), punched holes in the large, soft gelatin capsule, squeezed the oily yellow liquid contents into a disposable foam plastic cup (often called a Styrofoam cup), and diluted it with cranberry juice. Later, as the patient raised the cup to drink the juice, the cup began to leak.
Many people have experienced an unpleasant side effect to a medication, such as an upset stomach, diarrhea, or excessive sleepiness. Medication side effects are pretty common and can be expected, especially with certain drugs. For example, people may have nausea when taking a narcotic or diarrhea from an antibiotic. However, it is important to know that these side effects are not allergies because we've heard them referred to as such.
Receiving cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, can be a very frightening experience. It may feel as if you are placing your life completely in the hands of your doctors and nurses. In a very real sense you are, especially if you are unfamiliar with the medications you are receiving. To make you feel more secure, here are some safety tips that some of our nurses wrote for you.

Leaders of the U.S. congressional tax writing committees today responded to the announcement by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Competition (EC) of its state aid investigation findings that Ireland has granted undue tax benefits of up to €13 billion to a U.S.-based multinational corporation.
The EC found that Ireland's action was "illegal" under EU state aid rules because it allowed the company to pay substantially less tax than other businesses, and concluded that Ireland must now recover the illegal aid from the taxpayer. Read TaxNewsFlash-Transfer Pricing
Manal Corwin, KPMG's National Leader, International Tax Services, commented:
"There's little question that this story is closer to its beginning than its end. International tax will always be complicated, and trying to build a level playing field in an uneven world is a monumental challenge. The real danger is creating an uncertain environment for multinational companies looking to follow the spirit and the letter of the law."
In response to today's EC's announcement, leaders of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees issued statements.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) separately issued statements critical of the EC's findings.
Previously, a bipartisan group of congressional tax writers expressed concerns about the EC state aid investigations and called on Treasury to employ retaliatory measures under the authority of Code section 891 that could permit Treasury to impose higher taxes on certain foreign U.S. taxpayers.

Being a former apartment dweller myself, I know how strong the urge is to personalize an apartment. No matter how temporary the living situation may be. Unlike most people though, I have a hard time suppressing the urge to paint. However, if you're not the painting type but you still want to add a personal touch to your home without making it permanent this might be the product for you.

With plenty of Chiefs fans unhappy with the performance of their first-year head coach and said first-year head coach recently accused of flipping the bird after a tough loss at home to the Browns, Todd Haley finally has generated some positive press.
According to KCTV in Kansas City, Haley walked up to a stranger on Saturday and handed the guy a "stack of $20 bills."
Brian Mondaine was waiting for a bus when Haley stopped and gave Mondaine the money.
"He's got a little soft heart on the inside," Mondaine told KCTV.
So was Haley handing out stacks of money all over town, or was he simply lucky that the one guy to whom he handed the cash decided to call up a local television station and blab about it?
Asked about the gesture during his Monday press conference, Haley said, "I'm grateful for all I have and I try to help others when I can."
Hey, it doesn't matter if the gesture is viewed by some (i.e., us) as being more transparent than freshly-squeegeed windshield. If the Brian Mondaines of Kansas City decide that Haley is in reality a nice guy who shouldn't be fired, it was the best P.R. investment Haley ever could have made.

Used 2008 Chevrolet Impala
Editorial Description
(provided by Chrome)
The Impala, Chevy's top-seller for the last few years, is usually classed as a mid-size sedan, but it is one of the bigger mid-sizes around. As such, it is no surprise that the Impala boasts roomy seating and almost 19 cubic feet of trunk space.
The 2008 Impala comes in four trim levels: LS, LT, LTZ, and SS. The LS and LT have a 3.5L flex-fuel-capable V6, the LTZ comes with a larger 3.9L V6 (with Active Fuel Management), and the SS has a 303-horsepower 5.3L V8. The V6 engines have variable valve timing, while the V8 is mated to a heavy-duty Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission plus performance-tuned four-wheel independent suspension. Beyond that, most of the differences between trims are in small tweaks, such as fog lights, aluminum wheels (both standard with the 3.9L and 5.3L engines) or heated mirrors (standard on the LTZ).
As with most mid-size sedans, air bags, power windows, power locks, and air conditioning are standard across the line. In addition, Chevy includes one year of OnStar's Safe and Sound plan. ABS, StabiliTrak, and a tire pressure monitor system round out the standard safety features.

Quick question: Why can't a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, capable of voice-dialing, tell you who is calling through your Bluetooth headset? Give up? Allow me to let you in on a little secret — there is NO reason!
I just don't understand why, when Jennifer calls me up, I can't get a quick ring in my ear, followed by my voice saying "Jennifer" (which was recorded by me earlier for voice-dialing).
As far as I can tell, it would work EXACTLY the same way as phones do now: receive the call, match the number to the name in your phonebook, and display the name (for those not following: caller-ID). All I'm asking is for it to go one step further and "say" the name through the Bluetooth headset using the name previously recorded for that particular person — why must we be tethered visually to the phone? The ability to do this isn't far off I'm sure, but damn it, this should have been a priority from jump.

|My 21st birthday tiara!
I don't feel like writing a clever introduction for this post, so I'm just gonna get right to it.
I feel like everyone is getting older/growing up, and I'm just sitting here still feeling like I'm 17 years old with no idea how to really do this thing called life.
Please don't get me wrong. I Love my husband, and I Love our life together. I wouldn't change a thing about my life because it brought me to where I am today. I'm just feeling a bit sad as I reflect on the dreams of that naive 17 year old girl, and comparing those to the harsh realizations about life I've learned as I am entering the late edition of my twenties.

Mine detection and clearance capabilities
India has paid a heavy price in human lives both on its borders as well as in the internal security situation to mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) deployed by the Pakistan army on the borders and the Line of Control and by its agents in various crowded localities all over the country. There could be some respite and a great psychological turnaround in counter-insurgency operations in the device created by a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation that can help detect hidden IEDs and neutralize them with appropriate doses of directed energy from a ray gun.
The device, publicized during the recent Defexpo in New Delhi, is vehicle mounted to help rapid deployment ahead of troops/tanks and mechanized infantry on the ground. Its effectiveness is to locate and neutralize landmines, anti-personnel mines in cross country operations and improvised explosive devices in counter-insurgency sweeps.
Mine detection and clearance is a very time consuming task and therein lies the efficacy of a minefield to slow down the progress of

"We were really struck by the number of folks reporting high levels of stress and depressive symptoms who weren't even close to reaching major depressive disorder."
– Lawrence Fisher, PhD Diabetes Center, UCSF
Success in treating diabetes depends heavily on patient self-management, but many factors can prevent a patient from sustaining an effective management program. These can range from a lack of understanding of the treatment measures, to comorbid conditions—and all of them can lead to adverse outcomes. Comorbid depression, for example, is associated with a wide variety of adverse effects among diabetes patients, including a poorer prognosis for vascular complications, increased chance of disability, and even early mortality. Less dramatic but still serious depression-related issues include reductions in quality of life, wellbeing and self-care. These effects are not limited to those with clinical depression. About one-third of diabetes patients will develop "diabetes distress" at any given time, subjecting them to increased adverse outcomes despite the often subclinical nature of their depressive symptoms. A 2010 study in Diabetes Care reported that people with higher distress levels were more likely to develop high blood glucose. Diabetes distress is at least as common among caregivers as among patients, and the weak social network that often surrounds these patients denies them the positive outcomes generally associated with higher levels of social support. Peer support has been found to offer a number of benefits to diabetes patients. One recent study found peer support to offer effective help in four specific areas: assistance in daily symptom management; emotional and social support; linkages to clinical resources; long term support. The study found improvements among many of the studied patients in:
Social connections are known to be important for successful diabetes management, but people with limited networks—such as patients with comorbidities, or the elderly—cannot gain the health benefits available to those with robust social networks. Peer support brings patients together to create a social network that can offer multiple benefits to the participants—and providing support to a peer with diabetes has been shown to lead to a reduced risk of mortality as well as improvements in health behaviors, outcomes, and functioning. Finally, one recent study at the Veterans Administration found that telemedicine was an effective component of a comprehensive, integrated treatment program that observed significant reductions in A1C levels when compared with usual care. Another study found that telemedicine-based treatment for patients with diabetes led to clinically significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress. Remotely-delivered peer support groups from PSS offer all of the above advantages. Our certified peer specialists possess lived experience, we train them how to manage an online support group effectively, and we offer clinical supervision. Meeting content is tailored to the needs of the particular program, but typically contains evidence-based material to help participants better understand and manage some aspect of their condition. Participants gain the benefits of receiving help, as well as offering help to others in need, and they become part of a social network tailored to their treatment needs. Contact PSS to discuss integrating our novel online support groups with your diabetes program, and start offering better outcomes to your patients.

it is not a lack of enjoyment of country music but awareness in the music-listening younger generation of the Philippines, who do love their Taylor Swift but are unaware that she actually does two versions of her songs—the original country version, complete with " twangs "and banjos, and a radio-friendly pop version. We won't argue which version is better but we will point out that the original was 100% country. A catchy melody and identifiable lyrics lures you in no matter what genre, generation, or continent.
Enter a new artist with a familiar face—Miles Poblete or as she is simply known online worldwide, Miles. Miles was the much-publicized winner of the prestigious Metro Pop star search competition in 1999. She was also a GMA mainstay from 2001-2003, a very visible personality on popular weekend variety show "S.O.P" and youth-targeted "Click Barkada."However, during the time of her launch, like most of us entering Freshmen year in college and even surviving through the Sophomore year, unsure of our major, Miles only knew she loved singing but did not know what her true place in the Philippine Music industry was…yet. Of course, between 1999 and 2010, Miles did leave Philippine show business to pursue her studies, even earning a B.S in Tourism from University of Santo Tomas.

Sunday, December 19, 2010
In the past two weeks I have indulged. I have spent the time making American Girl doll clothes for my Sophie. I have forgotten the joy that simple act of sewing can bring. As a child I made doll clothes with a vengeance. For my own children, I was just too busy, sad to say. There were a lots of struggles in a lot of ways in those early years. But now I can make doll clothes to my hearts content. If something isn't perfect, no matter. Sophie will still love it and never know the difference. Making dolly clothes is certainly like eating potato chips, you just can't eat one and you have to see the bottom of the bag. Every time I foresee just a few minutes, I start another little outfit. Here are just a few of the things I have made, just a few.
I love this little plaid coat with the cut on sleeves and beret. I put some soutache on the hem and collar. All of the garments got real buttons and buttonholes, not snaps and a fake out button as the pattern usually recommends.
This dress was a lot of work. I used bias ruffles for the petticoat. It reminds me of a mini version of the popular "Feliz" pattern. The sleeves and hem have gathered tulle on the edges.
I made several other pieces too, nightgown, dresses, and today's effort an outfit very similar to one I myself wore as a child. It has a silk velvet skirt (!), silk dupioni cumberbund, and a topstitched linen blouse, all made this afternoon! I am just reveling in this fun and plan to continue after the holidays with some more jammies and a chenille robe.
Thanks for indulging this grandma.
I've also managed to finish two more Noriko bags. I really like these. They are more substantial than previous efforts. Hope you like......we have first an animal print tapestry with the silk houndstooth and a big wooden button.
I am keeping these two for myself! I haven't made one yet for myself and I could use a new bag.
Now it is time to close up shop for a couple of weeks. We will be traveling to NH, MA and particularly Cape Cod. I can't wait to see the grandchildren's faces on Christmas morning. I wish you the same joy , no matter what your holiday celebration may be. God bless you all and your families, safe driving, and see you in the New Year.......Bunny

What adorable doll clothes!ReplyDelete
Beautiful doll clothes. DD is getting the bitty twins and I so want to be making her some doll clothes -- but the older kids' fleece robes are easy but time-consuming. I'm looking forward to getting to the doll clothes. Have fun celebrating ChristmasReplyDelete
Lovely post. Lovely clothes.ReplyDelete
OMW!!! The doll clothes are TDF! LOVE the plaid coat and I'd LOVE to see the scarf and beret to go with it - how darn CUTE!ReplyDelete
Sophie is such a lucky girl! Love the doll clothes, you're attention to detail on those tiny little garments blows me away!ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year, dear friend! Safe travels...
Bunny, your sewing projects are just wonderful. Sophie, one of these days she will realize just how fortunate she is to have you for a grandmother. Beautiful, beautiful doll clothes. I still remember a beautiful ball gown my grandmother made for my similar to AG doll. She even put rhinestone sets on the skirt. Never, will I forget that doll dress!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing,
Bunny, the doll clothes are beautiful. I recognize some of the fabric from garments you have made in the past. It's fun to get to use up little bits of trim and leftover fabric on projects like this.ReplyDelete
I agree, being a grandma is great fun. You are a blessing to your grandchildren.
Now that I am a grandma I can certainly agree with you - it's the best thing ever! Your doll clothes are absolutely lovely and I can't wait until my granddaughter is old enough for an AG doll. Wait a minute! I can start sewing for one now! Have a wonderful Christmas with your lovely grandchildren.ReplyDelete
The doll clothes are beautiful. Truly beautiful. Your grandchildren are very lucky to have a grandmother like you. You demonstrate art,skill,discipline,and love.ReplyDelete
What beautiful doll clothes and what lucky grandchildren :)ReplyDelete
Bunny, thank you for sharing yourself and your family with us via this blog. All the best for the holidays and the new year!ReplyDelete
Your doll clothes are just precious. I agree -- they are so addictive. I can't wait to see more.ReplyDelete
The doll clothes are just adorable, what a lucky little girl to have those to cherish, made for her by grandma, doesn't get any better then that.ReplyDelete
As you know, I love how you share yourself so we feel like we really know Bunny.
My sisters and I still have all the Barbie clothes and 18-inch doll clothes my grandmother made for us. We had the best-dressed dolls around. It is a blast from the past to see those old 1960s Barbie outfits. Make sure your kids put these away for safekeeping.ReplyDelete
Oh, I know the bliss of Grandchildren. I have never had so much fun. 2 boys and 1 girl, who will be getting her first AG Doll from Santa this year. So, I see doll clothes in my future. That is how I started my sewing and now Peyton will learn sewing with Grams. I can't wait. Merry Christmas and God Bless.ReplyDelete
Lucky Sophie! They are so cute. Wishing you a very happy Christmas with your family.ReplyDelete
What cute dolls clothes - they're fun to make! Good for you for keeping a new purse or two, it would be hard for me to make all those and not make one for myself. Yes, my husband does that, too. Not that we have any snow to move right now. Sigh.ReplyDelete
Have a Merry Christmas!
My niece got an American Girl doll several weeks ago. I was happy to make clothes as a Christmas present for her. My own daughter was more into sports and science than dolls, so I'm glad I have the opportunity to sew doll clothes. Your examples are truly inspirational!!!ReplyDelete
~~Safe Travel~~ Bunny! I just know you'll have a wonderful Christmas, surrounded by family especially all those sweet grands!ReplyDelete
The little doll clothes are amazing. You put the same effort & detailed workWOMANship into them as you do all your beautiful things. She will be thrilled!
ALL the purses look fantastic & I'm glad you're keeping some of them for yourself. I used to have a rule that the first thing I made in the new year was something for myself. Somehow that got forgotten over the years. LOL
Merry Christmas, my sweet sewing friend & a blessed New Year, too!
Hi Bunny.- Only wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. My best wishes for another year full of happy sewing ...!!!ReplyDelete
Bunny, the doll clothes are out of this world, so magnificent. I love making doll clothes and have made several outfts this year for the Bead Journal Project. After the holidays I plan to make lots more outfits. Have a wonderful time with your children, grandchildren and friends. Merry Christmas to all of you and a healthy and happy New Year too. GitaReplyDelete
I agree very much with your description of being a grandmother! Very cute doll clothes.ReplyDelete
Popping by to say I'm thinking of you, stuck in this awful snowstorm! I'm hoping you intended to stay awhile in one place. Travel looks miserable!ReplyDelete
Just wanted you to know you were on my mind.
Be safe, Bunny!!
I think your plaid coat is beautiful.ReplyDelete
So cute clothess ;)ReplyDelete

Talky, cerebral and intensely complex in its depiction of a fraught three-cornered relationship, A Dangerous Method is quite unlike any other film by director David Cronenberg, still widely associated with blood, gore and body parts. Set between 1904 and 1913, it tackles the struggle between Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) to establish their supremacy at the dawn of the era of psychoanalysis.
The future and well being of Sabina Spielrein, a troubled young Russian woman played by Keira Knightley, becomes the defining issue between the two men. Aged 18, she arrives at a Zurich hospital to be treated by Jung. She's in a distressing state, flinching from human contact and contorting her body and face in grotesque gestures of pain and terror.
Cronenberg has coaxed a performance from Knightley so ferocious in these early scenes that it seems likely to become the film's main talking point. It's also a risky strategy, as Sabina's behaviour is extreme to the point of being alienating.
Yet it also underlines the intensity of the stakes of the rivalry between Freud and Jung, which comes to resemble a father-son struggle. Jung experiments on Sabina with his innovative "talking cure," the earliest form of psychoanalysis, encouraging her to recall her feelings as a child when her father beat her.
Jung, married to a rich, sedate woman (Sarah Gadon) who bears him children, finally admits his repressed lust for Sabina, and they embark on an affair. (She enjoys being hit.) The liaison appals Freud. The scene in which Jung takes her virginity is one of the few classic Cronenberg moments.
Much of this material (adapted from Christopher Hampton's play The Talking Cure) is frankly uncinematic, and Cronenberg has compensated with sumptuous locations – Swiss lakes, opulent houses and ravishing costumes. Knightley is decked out in an impressive series of blouses, bustles and corsets.
The main performances are fine, with Fassbender conveying seething emotion beneath a calm veneer. But it's Knightley that one remembers, for a full-on portrayal that is gutsy and potentially divisive in equal parts.

Miguel Arrested for DUI: Report
After the R&B star was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol, he failed multiple sobriety tests.
Grammy Award-winning R&B crooner Miguel was arrested in Los Angeles early Thursday for driving under the influence. According to TMZ, the California Highway Patrol pulled over the singer's BMW for speeding and tinted windows, but soon noticed the smell of alcohol wafting from the car.
Miguel then failed several field sobriety tests and blew a .10 and .11 (over the .08 legal limit) on the breathalyzer, a law enforcement source tells the site.

The 27-year-old singer -- whose full name is Miguel Jontel Pimentel -- was arrested and booked for DUI, and released a few hours later on $5,000 bail. According to TMZ, Miguel is scheduled in court in September.
Miguel released his second studio album, Kaleidoscope Dream, last September via RCA Records. The set debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and yielded the hit song "Adorn," which won Best R&B Song at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

How we did it:
For any feedback, any questions, any notes or just for chat - feel free to follow us on social networks
Thomas H. Cormen
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, substantial additions to the chapter on recurrence (now called "Divide-and-Conquer"), and an appendix on matrices. It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added for this edition. As of the third edition, this textbook is published exclusively by the MIT Press.

This book describes data structures and data structure design techniques for functional languages.
Thomas H Cormen, Charles E Leiserson, Ronald L Rivest, Clifford Stein
An extensively revised edition of a mathematically rigorous yet accessible introduction to algorithms.
Rajeev Motwani, Prabhakar Raghavan
For many applications, a randomized algorithm is either the simplest or the fastest algorithm available, and sometimes both. This book introduces the basic concepts in the design and analysis of randomized algorithms. The first part of the text presents basic tools such as probability theory and probabilistic analysis that are frequently used in algorithmic applications. Algorithmic examples are also given to illustrate the use of each tool in a concrete setting. In the second part of the book, each chapter focuses on an important area to which randomized algorithms can be applied, providing a comprehensive and representative selection of the algorithms that might be used in each of these areas. Although written primarily as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book should also prove invaluable as a reference for professionals and researchers.
Michael Jay Laszlo
This book provides an accessible introduction to methods in computational geometry and computer graphics. It emphasizes the efficient object-oriented implemenation of geometric methods with useable C++ code for all methods discussed.
Gayle Laakmann McDowell
Now in the 6th edition, the book gives you the interview preparation you need to get the top software developer jobs. This is a deeply technical book and focuses on the software engineering skills to ace your interview. The book includes 189 programming interview questions and answers, as well as other advice.

One of my favorite things to do is work out. Okay, maybe I don't totally love the feeling of muscles burning while I'm lifting weights and doing burpees, but the feeling of accomplishment after a good work-out is incomparable.
For about a year now, my husband and I have been very diligent in working out 5-6 times a week, whether it be running, doing Spartan Race work-outs, lifting weights, Zumba, etc. It started with going to a group boot camp four times a week at a local gym. After several months of no real progress, I decided to hire a personal trainer that tailored work-outs and meals just for me.
Guess what happened when I had professionally tailored work-outs and meals? I lost weight and inches. I saw results.
Well, then summer came. We had vacations planned, we were in the process of buying our first house…. so, the budget said something needed to go. One of the "luxury" items on the list? Personal trainer. I thought to myself, I've learned a lot about fitness. I can do this on my own. Plus, there's tons of at-home work-out DVDs, or work-outs on Pinterest, etc.
So, over the next three months, I printed off various work-outs, made work-out calendars and meal plans. We tried different things, even working out twice a day sometimes. It wasn't the same as working with a professional, but it seemed to be working "okay" for us.
Guess what happened when I didn't have professional tailored work-outs and meals, and instead, just tried to wing it? I didn't see results. I plateaued.
I didn't come here to tell you my fitness story. But, when I think of my story, I think about a lot of entrepreneurs who try to "wing it" with their marketing and design. I see it all the time – whether it's an old website that needs updated, boring social media graphics, or a brochure filled with bad clip-art.
Another little tidbit about me: I'm not very good at doing laundry. I mean, I know how to put clothes in, pour in soap, etc. The process of laundry is not foreign to me. But, even a detailed-oriented person like me has problems with one aspect of doing laundry.
I forget to actually transfer the load of laundry from the washer to the dryer. I'm a multi-tasker (read: busy), so I'm not just sitting there watching the laundry machine do it's thing. I put in a load in, and then I'm off to my next "to-do" – work, working out, groceries, etc. Even if I'm in the house, that dryer buzzer just does not register in my brain.
My tendency to forget about the laundry also reminds me of my fellow entrepreneurs. You're busy! You have a business to run, people to help, things to do. You don't have time to update your brochure from five years ago, even though it has your old prices, or old grainy, selfie pictures.
Rather than "winging it" and trying to re-design your own pieces, you need to invest in working with a professional designer. Good design helps show your clients that you are professional and credible.
What is it that you do? What's the easiest part of your job? You are an expert at providing your product or service, but that doesn't mean you are an expert at marketing your product or service. (tweet that!)

If the question was not 'What Are You Optimistic About?' but instead 'What Are You Pessimistic About' then Dan Sperber's answer would be that the progress of human wisdom is pathetically slow. In the meantime, greater technological advances have provided wealthy, powerful people a new way to cause more and more havoc. Therefore, he doesn't have much reason to be optimistic about the future of humanity. However, humans are unpredictable, and often have many surprises up their sleeves. Many of those surprises are helpful, which in some ways is something to be optimistic about.
endless stream of technological, academic, artistic inventions, many of
them brilliant quality, are becoming free to the public according to
their needs, individuals working to the maximum of their skills. They
often seek self-understanding more than notice and glory. Some examples
of the types: Free-software, Wikis and the open-source software. Some
examples of the individual programs: Blender, Audacity, Gimp*, Firefox
and Opera. Not many people would have thought the Internet would become
quite so popular.
free technologies need the Internet. For example: Wikis, Blogs,
Open-access documents and many more. A cheaper or free product is more
desirable than an expensive one. So let us applaud change, wherever it
appears. Many members of the public have observed the economics is odd.
He is optimistic that the development of both individual and collective
forms of altruism on the Internet. The Internet is an organization of
organizations. Each and every single node is a website. Many websites
are colliding, and linking to each other.
this planet, more and more altruistic acts - acts that had in the past
been intended just for the persons family or clan or state - might now,
out of a sensible sense of common destiny be aimed for the gain of
everyone. Dan Sperber is optimistic about altruism on the Internet.

Friday The 13th Spells Bad Luck For Most But Not For Flight 666 To HEL
Its Friday the 13th…would you dare board Flight 666 to HEL?
It's real, Finnair flight AY666 will go from Copenhagen to Helsinki (HEL) and it took place today on Friday the 13th.
Imagine being on that flight and sitting in row 13? No thanks!
Friday the 13th cripples a lot of people who suffer from Triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the number 13. The number is so feared that even some buildings skip the 13th floor in an elevator and directly goes to the next floor.
Some people even forgo their regular routine for fear that something awful will happen.
Have you ever experienced any bad luck on a Friday the 13th?

HEY Class of 2019 – I'm talking to you!
The school year is already over and I'm sure you are all super excited summer is here! This is the time for fun, friends, and maybe a vacation or two. It feels like you have tons of time before you'll be back in school. But even though that feels forever away – NOW is the best time to go ahead and schedule your senior portraits! Here's just a few of the reasons why you should CALL TODAY!
1. The School Year is BUSY
The number one reason I encourage my seniors to schedule summer sessions is you are all so busy! You do so many things! From student government to sports, not to mention school work, time with your friends, and even jobs – it can be hard to fit your session in! Summer is when you tend to have the most free time. Once the school year starts up – your schedule is going to get so busy you might not have time for your senior session.
2. Be Ahead of the Game
You may be thinking it's kind of early to plan and schedule your session, especially if you want your portraits taken in the fall. But actually, boutique photographers, like myself, love having plenty of time to get to know you and plan your perfect senior session. Fall especially is our busiest time of the year! We book up super FAST, and we want to be sure we can fit your session in with plenty of time. So the sooner you meet with us – the easier it is for us to schedule your session and then start the fun of planning all the details!
3. Gorgeous Green Scenery
With all of the rain we've been having this spring, summer is going to provide us with the most beautiful, lush green landscapes! I know a lot of people love the idea of fall colors, but it can be hard to time the changing colors of the leaves and if you wait too long – all the color will be gone. In the summer, we hardly seem to lack for color. Whether it's grassy meadows, leafy forest trees, fields of corn, or blue waters – the color is everywhere this time of year!
4. Longer Days Means More Daylight
In the fall and winter, the sun sets pretty early. We tend to start sessions at 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon during those times of year, which can be difficult with school getting out at 2:30 or 3:00. But in the summer we can shoot much later with the sun staying up until 9:30 pm! This means we photographers have even more flexibility to fit you into our schedule, & it's also easier to find more convenient times for your session if mom and/or dad want to tag along after they get off work.
5. Unique Opportunites
If you are wanting to schedule something extra special like a session at a beloved vacation home or at nearby beach – summer is the perfect time for those unique locations. Everyone's schedules tend to be a bit more flexible in the summer so it is a whole lot easier to create something no one else in your graduating class will have. And the more special the location is to you – the more meaningful those senior portraits will be for years to come!
6. He Who Waits, Misses Out
The last reason I have for you today is because I often find that the seniors who don't at least meet with their photographer in the summer and schedule their session (even if it's scheduled for the fall) – end up being too busy in the fall. It's too cold in the winter. Before you know it, it's spring and you're graduating and you never had a chance to capture this turning point in your life. Nothing breaks my heart more than a senior who missed out on our awesome senior experience, and doesn't have anything to look back on and remember how amazing they were at this time in their life!
I know it seems like summer just started and you have tons of time! I know some of you are wanting fall or winter sessions. But this summer is going to zip by SUPER fast! Before you even know it – you're senior year of high school will be starting, and you are going to be so busy! So let's make this summer awesome! I want to meet with you, get to know you, and plan a session with you that's going to capture who you are in all your gorgeous, unique, quirky, fun awesomeness! You're only a high school senior once! Let's capture and preserve this fleeting moment in time!

HOUSTON - Jason Kidd said he was just "trying to win" when he intentionally spilled a drink on the court, a stunt that cost him $50,000.
The Brooklyn Nets coach was fined on Thursday, with the NBA saying he intentionally spilled his drink as a stall tactic.
He tried to avoid talking about it Friday, but when pressed, he relented.
"Paul (Pierce) got a great look, but the league fined me for something that I probably shouldn't have done," he said. "We'll move on."
The Nets had time to draw up a play while the floor was being cleaned but still lost 99-94.
Kidd was asked if he regretted the unusual move and why he decided to go with it.
"It's about trying to win and those guys in that locker room, and I tried to put those guys in a position to get a basket, a good look and we did," he said.

(This is one of two posts that should've gone up before the new year. However, from just before Christmas onwards I was near bedbound with ilness, so they never got posted. Better late than never, right?)
The human condition is an odd one when it comes to people we admire – I'm going to avoid the pitfall of using the word heroes. It's overused and to me it's meaningless. Bowie had the right idea when he put it in quotation marks. In this instance it's not especially accurate either. But yeah, the human condition is an odd one. We put people on such unrealistic pedestals and place such emphasis on wanting to meet them, that when we do they never – or indeed are simply unable to – live up to the ridiculous expectations placed upon them. It all ends up feeling like you finally get the chance to drive the sportscar you've dreamed of, and you discover you can't fit into it. Or the mansion at the top of the hill you've coveted comes on the market and you find out the roof leaks and the indoor pool is full of used sanitary towels. Or being told that the poster that kept you busy during your formative years is in fact a tranvestite. (NB: just to clarify I've never had such a poster on my walls. They've been too busy hosting bits of F1 car. True facts.)
But we'll get back to that. First some introductions (no doubt interspersed with some personal history). I've been a fan of Jeremy Warmsley for years. I loved his first album, The Art Of Fiction. since it came out. Not just because it soundtracked the final semester of a first year at university where I'd successfully traversed the minefield of making friends while being a live-at-home student – it probably is a part of it, but the album stands up on its own. I loved the second album too, How We Became – I defy anyone to listen to Dancing With The Enemy and not smile or do a jaunty dance to it.
I'd heard various rumblings of 'Summer Camp this' and 'Summer Camp that' for months but had never checked them out. I'm one of these insufferable people that always has to discover something for themselves and in their own time, irrespective of what the hype machine is pedalling. The fact that I knew that one half of Summer Camp was Jeremy Warmsley shows you how far behind the times I was. For a while, y'see, Jeremy and his-then unknown to me partner in crime Elizabeth Sankey (of Platform magazine fame) had, for a little while at least, been laying low. Having put a couple of tracks on MySpace the duo, unsure of what to do and where to go, laid low for a time while maintaining a cloak of anonymity. Soon, the blogosphere went into overdrive, with everyone trying to be the first to find out the identities of Summer Camp, with a favourite rumour of mine being that they were some perfect Swedish pop entity. Eventually it all got a bit much and they were outed by a publication, which while sad was, I believe, to our - the public's - benefit.
Having been released into the public domain, Elizabeth and Jeremy unleashed a cracking record, which were I were to include EPs when evaluating my album of the year (always a contentious issue at the best of times) would have been a strong contender. I love the way that the record acknowledges its influences and wears its heart on its sleeve without ever descending into parody or carbon-copy imitation tactics in order to get its point across. If I were to state that it was unashamedly indebted to the 1980s, and unashamedly pop-oriented I imagine a large proportion of people would run a mile. It is as foolish a response as my summation is simplistic. It's intelligent pop music, with an atmosphere of woozy romanticism. It sounds simultaneously familiar and new and different, which in a musical climate where – to me anyway – the charts are full of identikit bands bouncing around a number of limited ideas is just what's needed.
So, when they played Manchester in October and the opportunity arose to interview them, I naturally took it. Who wouldn't jump at a chance to talk to the people behind their potential record of the year? Problem is, think back to the hype bands of years gone by. One of the Klaxons being denied entry to the BBC for an interview on account of being too inebriated (to be fair, he had just won the Mercury prize). The Twang being locked in a hotel room with booze and Oasis DVD's until the drummer dropped trou and bared all before the NME's cameras. Glasvegas' James Allan's attempts to look cool coming across like a pathetic, petulant bequiffed child in a pair of Raybans. Raygun's infamous interview clip (which can be found here, with hilarious musical overdbubs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVgF30tnTl8). The formula seemed to be: musician plus hype = bellend.
There was another problem. I had a rare spate of disorganisation, which resulted in two catastrophic incidents which I haven't actually owned up publicly until today. I accept no responsibility for the rise in Michael Hubbard of musicOMH's blood pressure when he reads this (he doesn't know either). The first technically wasn't my fault. My phone got stolen at, meaning I gave the Summer Camps PR team a contact number a mere two hours before I left the house owing to my provider's incompetence re: sending me a new phone. One way ticket to stress central. The second was my fault, though. At somepoint, and for reasons unknown, the date of the gig and interview changed from the 5th to the 7th in my head. If it wasn't for the intervention of Hannah from PYT (see my previously article) 36 hours before the date in question I would've been in Manchester when Elizabeth and Jeremy were in Glasgow. It's funny now, even for me, but believe me it really wasn't at the time. I doubt Frank Spencer could've made a bigger ham fist of a simple job as I did on this occasion.
So then, we've established hyped bands don't usually make the best of interview subjects owing to their egos. Couple that with an interviewer who in the build up endured more cock ups than the Viagra trialling sessions, and it isn't looking good, is it? Glad you agree. The same thought crossed my mind. So, imagine my surprise when they turned out to be possibly the ideal interview subjects. Chatty, attentive, and intelligent, the worries and stresses of the week prior dissipated. I'd have understood if they got annoyed about the inevitable questions about the back story. I'd try to come at it from new angles, but these things always feel like reheating the same meal in a microwave and adding a different garnish to it every time. The contrary sod in me loved how they shrugged off their unorthodox birthing period with talk of 'how we did it is how we did it, it feels redundant talking it about doing it any other way' without a hint of attitude, more a sheepish smile. In a day and age where everything is so styled and manufactured, it was great to see a band talking enthusiastically about things they love, whether it was Jeremy on Bon Iver, or Elizabeth delivering what can only be described as a verbal supernova on John Hughes and the 1980s (that girl should go into politics. Seriously. Persuasive didn't cover it). When time ran away with us and we ran late (delaying the next interview), there was no 'right, that's it.' moment, instead there was a near apologetic 'erm, shall we do a couple more questions and then we're going to have to call it a day'.
What the experience taught me is that the music industry continues to contain nice people. Being hyped by a select few people doesn't instantly turn you into an egotistical gobshite. Musicians still exist who enjoy talking about what they do and their influences, and sharing it with the world. Truly a great moment. It also taught me to be bloody organised next time. I may have got away with it that time, but I hope to never tempt fate by pulling something similar again anytime soon. Idiot. If 2011 isn't Summer Camp's year then the world has gone wrong somewhere. Don't believe me? Check out the EP in readiness for this year's album.
Nice people who make great music? God I'm fucking jealous.
Summer Camp's Young EP is out on Moshi Moshi.

Created by Nigella Lawson From the show What Ya Cookin'?
Prep time: 5 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes:
Cooling time: 15 minutes
Makes 4 - 6servings
Butter for ramekins
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
2 large eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1. Place baking sheet in an oven preheated to 400°F/200°C. Butter four 2/3-cup ramekins and set aside. I actually find these so decadently sweet, that I use ½ cup ramekins and make 6.
2. Using a microwave oven or double boiler, melt together the semisweet chocolate and the butter. Set aside to cool.
3. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar and flour. Add cooled chocolate mixture, and mix until blended. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Divide mixture evenly among ramekins and place on baking sheet. Bake until tops are shiny and cracked and chocolate beneath is hot and gooey, about 20 minutes. Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve, reminding children that ramekins and chocolate are hot.

Given its size (467 acres), Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve is home to an unusually large number of plant species. There are 90 plant families; 9 plant communities (non-native grassland, serpentine bunchgrass grassland, chaparral, mixed serpentine chaparral, chamise chaparral, mixed Northern California coastal scrub, oak foothill woodland, mixed hardwood subgroup of the mixed evergreen forest community, and wetlands); and more than 500 plant species overall.
This rich plant habitat supports many species of wildlife, including: 21 species of mammals; over 100 bird species, 13 species of amphibians and reptiles; and unknown numbers of invertebrates (bees, ants, wasps, butterflies, moths, beetles, spiders, and other arachnids). This field guide looks at some of these species in more detail.

It was a nice evening to finally start painting these two figures. As always I began with the flesh on both. Here are photos of the full figures from a few different angles. If nothing else it shows the wealth of detail that Adriano gets in his 54mm figures.
These last two photos are close-ups of the faces at this early stage. I never cease to be amazed at the detail and character that Adriano can get in his faces. I have used my usual mix of Burnt Sienna, Medium Cad. Red, Medium Cad. Yellow and a touch more Yellow Ochre than I normally use. Once applied and the excess removed, the first highlights were added and then I started working touches of the base mixture mixed with Prussian Blue into the areas where you would expect some early beard growth. I then went back to work the highlights with more of the usual yellow/white oils. In the case of SR-60, I think this is the most work I have done wet-on-wet in a long time. Once I feel that I am starting to muddy the colors I stop but this face let me pull out the highlight blends longer than usual.
Once dry I will work on the shadows mouth and eyes before adding final highlights.

Well on Monday its time to start back to school for Odessa College. I am looking forward to starting my second semester of Java programming. Dont mistake this for me liking to program in Java, rather I just like to learn about programming in general and well the school system seems to think I need to learn this in Java, which I dont agree with but what can I do… I feel like I am getting the short end of the stick on this deal by not being introduced to C and C++ but maybe when I get to UTPB I will get to do some non-Java stuff. The only good thing is that everything I learned in my Java class last semester I was able to use in my PERL and Python programming. Sure the syntax is not exactly the same but the idea is.
I have been doing a lot of nothing lately, well Ive been playing a lot of video games (which is a lot of nothing..). I managed to play so much UT2004 that the nice people in the AwK klan have asked me to join. They obviously dont ask you to join because youre good at playing.. I guess my good sportsmanship was all they were looking at, because I am certianly no good at the game. Thanks guy/gals for letting me be a member.

Jiggered Ceilidh Band were back in action, this time at Phil and Ruth's wedding at Ayrshire's Enterkine House Hotel. We roped in photographer Ben Blair to come along to take a few band pictures before the wedding...some have turned out not too shabby, despite the raw material Ben was working with!
Phil and Ruth kicked off the evening, about 9.45pm, with what Susan described as "the sweetest first dance she's ever seen" *cue tears*. After this, the ceilidh got underway. The marquee at Enterkine has a pretty strict sound limiter system but we managed to play within the decibel count and the music flowed without interruption all evening.
There were a few familiar faces at the wedding, including master of ceremonies for the evening, a certain Jiggered-super-fan, Ewan Speedie!
Ice cream stand, sweety pick and mix, bacon rolls, flash mob choir, outdoor games for the kids....this weddind will be remembered for a long time!
All the best for the future, Phil and Ruth!

Maybe you've never been to Hurlford (formerly Whirlford and Hurdleford). Jiggered have been a few times. Every time we've been ceilidhing at the request of David Rowan. Up until now, the events were fundraisers for a local football team but on this occasion we were performing at a big family/friends get-together under the guise of a Birthday Bash!
Fish suppers all round at our break. Brilliant. But the highlight for me was chatting to all the folk who know me less as Jiggered's piano player and more as Mr Smith, local geeky Maths teacher. There were former students who reminisced about our class antics, parents (one who asked for a selfie for her son who is currently partying in Magaluf) and some super-smart pupils from our new 5th Year who'd put in a bit of effort scrubbing up nicely for the evening! When David gave a speech at half-time he (without warning) asked for a Maths song from me. Thankfully, the crowd bailed me out from an embarrassing solo by joining in to "The Quadratic Formula Song"...
Thanks for having us at your "do", Rowans. Happy 50th to David, happy 50th to Sandra, happy 21st to Scott, happy 16th to Sophie and happy 24th to Nicola!
