Ovulating Women Have Better Gaydar
Scientists have concluded that a woman's ability to tell apart gay men from straight men increases when they are ovulating, according to a study published this week in the journal Psychological Science.
The men weren't in the room with them. Rather, the test subjects — 40 female undergrads from Tufts — were shown 80 photos of men's faces. Half were straight, half were gay. The closer the subjects were to peak ovulation, the better their gaydar was. (I'm guessing they just gravitated to the cute ones, and then immediately tossed them into a "probably gay" discard pile — just like they do in real life?)
In a related study, gay men were found to be far better at picking out potential hag-partners during peak happy hour. [Time, photo via Shutterstock]

Current version of the Chang Feng submachine gun, chambered for ubiquitous 9x19mm cartridge; secondary feed option with pistol magazine is omitted from design
Early version of Chang Feng submachine gun chambered for 5.8x21mm DAP58 ammunition; this weapon had dual feed option, with primary helical magazine located at the top of the receiver and secondary pistol-type magazine located in the rear grip
This submachine gun has been developed by Chinese Chang Feng corporation for Compact Submachine Gun trials initiated by PLA (Chinese Army) in early 1990s. This weapon has been designed by the same people who previously designed the QSZ-92 pistol, which is now in use by PLA and PAP. This design (chambered for new Chinese 5.8x21 DAP-58 round) lost the military trials because of overly complicated design, and by now is offered to Chinese law enforcement agencies, chambered for 9x19mm DAP-92 (Chinese version of 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum) ammunition.
The Chang Feng submachine gun is blowback operated and uses telescoped bolt which wraps around the barrel in forward position. Receiver is made from polymer and is open at the top; two pistol grips are integral to receiver. Primary feed is from helical magazine made from translucent polymer; magazine is located at the top of the weapon and is similar in design to magazines of US Calico submachine guns. Early prototypes also had secondary feed option, in the form of the QSZ-92 pistol magazine that was inserted into the rear pistol grip; it is not known how gun was fed if both magazines were inserted simultaneously. Chang Feng submachine gun is fitted with open sights, and has a mounting point for red dot or night sight just behind the rear sight block. Barrel of the weapon is threaded to accept optional detachable silencer. Shoulder stock is of telescoped (retractable) type, and is made from polymer.

So while the big boys keep sucking, the Red Wings prospects across the CHL and even the AHL continue to make the future bright for Hockeytown. Xavier Ouellet and Marty Frk are still kicking around in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's playoff semifinals, and the news is pretty good, mostly. Ouellet drew an assist in the Blainville-Broisbiand Armada's 2-1 loss to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in Game Two. Before I continue, can you believe these names? I kid you not, these are REAL teams in the QMJHL. They both have significant meaning for the areas they represent, but to an outsider these are about as bizarre and confusing as any European team name. I'm still not sure what a Chicoutimi Saguenéen is even after Googling it.
Anyway, the Armada are down 2-0 to the Drakkar after two 2-1 losses. Unfortunate for Ouellet, but while one Red Wings prospect falls, another rises. Marty Frk continues to tear it up in the playoffs, scoring the overtime winner in a 5-4 Game Two matchup between the Halifax Mooseheads and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. Here's a clip of the overtime winner, care of the Mooseheads' YouTube page:
Here's another angle of the winner:
That's 10,000 Haligonians cheering on the victory. As you can see, Frk pots the biggest goal of his life thus far. The Mooseheads are up 2-0 against the Huskies in the best-of-seven series and could very well have a stranglehold on the series by week's end. Let's have a quick peak at the top scorers in the QMJHL playoffs so far:
Nice copy/paste job from the Q League page, eh?
As you can see, Frk has twenty points in ten games. He's fourth on his team in scoring, but unlike his linemates who precede him on the top scoring list, Frk also has 20 PIMs. This should come as no surprise to those of you who have been following Frkwatch since the season's beginning. Frk likes to get his hands dirty. I like that.
Not much else is to be said of Frk and the Moose aside from the likeliness that they will compete for the President's Cup very soon. All due respect for Rouyn-Noranda, the Moose are built to win championships. Next season will see most of the top players move on, but in the moment this team looks poised to become the Q's best team and a Memorial Cup lock. Catch you all next time.

text: SOCORRO, N.M., January 28, 2002 -- "THE GRAND TOUR . . ." National Science Foundation (NSF) Division Director Herman Zimmerman recently was given a tour of the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Consortium's Program for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere (PASSCAL) Instrument Center, which is located on the New Mexico Tech campus in Socorro. The tour of the NSF-funded research facility included a short walk outside the building to look at one of IRIS/PASSCAL's newly installed state-of-the-art seismic monitoring stations. Pictured (from left to right) examining the seismic station are Zimmerman, NSF division director of Earth sciences; Rick Aster, professor of geophysics at New Mexico Tech and principal investigator for IRIS/PASSCAL; Jim Fowler, program manager of IRIS/PASSCAL; and Marcos Alvarez, director of IRIS/PASSCAL. The IRIS/PASSCAL Instrument Center is tasked with developing hardware and software associated with earthquake and other geophysical research, providing logistical support for seismic experiments, and maintaining a pool of more than 1,000 portable seismographs that are routinely employed in field research conducted throughout the world by NSF staff, geophysicists, and other scientists.

BOSTON, Mass. - After two standout freshmen campaigns middle hitter Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) and libero Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) have been named to the New England Women's Volleyball Association (NEWVA) Honorable Mention and All-Rookie Teams.
The newcomers were integral in leading the Beacons to their fifth straight Little East Conference tournament title and fifth LEC Regular Season crown. They also anchored a Beacons line-up that hoisted their second straight and third overall NCAA Regional Championship title when they defeated Wellesley College, Roger Williams University, and Williams College.
In 2013 the duo received multiple weekly honors from the Little East Conference on their way to being named the LEC Co-Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year respectively. Glavan was also named an AVCA All-Region Honorable Mention honoree, and was named the NCAA Regional Tournament Most Outstanding Player. The young duo was the only players from the Little East Conference to be recognized by NEWVA.
This season, Murphy paced the Beacons offense with her 2.35 kills per game and .298 hitting percentage. The Canton native combined for a team-leading 117 blocks totaling 25 solo stops and 92 block assists. She also recorded 31 aces in 144 games played. Murphy's best overall performance came in the five-set winner over Keene State College in September when she hit .609 scoring 16 kills on 23 attempts. At the net, she recorded a career best six total blocks (2 bs, 4 ba) in the Little East Conference championship match against the Owls.
For Glavan, she wasted little time establishing herself as the top libero in all of New England. One of only two players from UMass to be named an ECAC New England Player of the Week, Glavan was unstoppable during the Beacons postseason run. On the year, the Minnesota native totaled a season program record 653 digs (5.27 dpg), which also led the Little East Conference. Combined the freshman appeared in 124 games and finished second on the team in aces with 51. This season she recorded a total of 768 service receptions. Her best match this fall was when she posted a combined 39 digs in the 3-2 loss to Haverford College on October 12.


text: Hello! I have some plans on making a new ISPconfig3 cluster with load balancing, hear me out and give me some feedback of what could be done better or if it will work at all The setup: lb.example.net - Dedicated fsSense server with firewall and load balancing server1.example.net - All services like apache, bind, dovecot etc.. server2.example.net - Mirror of server1 cpanel.example.net - ISPconfig3 webinterface + phpmyadmin + webmail lb.example.net is going to run the pfSense OS and handle all the firewall and load balancing stuff, this shares the traffic between servers and also acts as failover. server1.example.net is going to run all the services that you can control from ISPconfig3 and shares the config files and /var/vmail, /var/www with server2, this using either Unison/rsync or something else like GlusterFS. MySQL is replicated with Master-Master replication or GlusterFS. I have not decided how to do the sync because of no experience with GlusterFS yet (any thoughts?) server2.example.net - see above cpanel.example.net is a dedicated server for the ISPconfig3 control panel and also the webinterface for phpmyadmin and roundcube (SSL). This server controls that both servers gets the same config files (mirroring). By separating the controlpanel from the other services I can secure this server alot more. My questions is now this: Is this a good way of doing things or should I take some other path in the search for a good cluster/load balancing system? If a server goes down (server 1 or 2), is it possible to restore the default state of the server if it is replaced or is this not possible with ISPconfig3? If I want to add a server to the system, is this possible or do you have trash everything and start over? Best regards, Mattias

Author Notes: In my early years, I hated breakfast, unless it was Sunday and there were fresh bagels and smoked salmon. I also struggled with weight (while competing gymnastics and track) and a dangerous sugar addiction (if you consider crossing a major highway on foot for 3 candy bars for under a buck worrisome). Thankfully, this is not the case for me anymore and I have been eating breakfast daily for the past ten years. I started first with Fairway granola with Greek yogurt and progressed over the years to making my own barely sweet granola to grains traditionally reserved for meals later in the day.
This recipe was born out of necessity and the fact that I had half of a whole batch of cooked barley on the stove begging me to use it and not throw it in the refrigerator. It was still hot when I mixed in the frozen blackberries, so they melted into the barley and turned it a vivid Violet blue (as from Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Next, came the toasted and chopped almonds and unsweetened coconut. I added a bit of cinnamon and I was done. When I heat it up in the morning I add a bit of milk, coconut milk, or almond milk and add a stream of maple syrup. I've also been know to eat it for dessert with some creme fraiche and once, vanilla ice cream —testkitchenette
Makes: about 10-12 half cup servings
cup pearled barley
cups water
teaspoon salt
packet frozen blackberries
cup almonds, toasted and chopped
cup unsweetened coconut, toasted
teaspoon cinnamon
zest of one orange
- In a large saucepan, bring pearled barley, water, and salt to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until water is cooked out but barley is fluffy and moist, but not super mushy. Take off heat and let cool a bit.
- Stir in the blackberries until they start to melt. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Serve and then store the leftovers in the refrigerator for the rest of the week.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The Faculty and Academic Staff Development Board helps organize, support, and encourage faculty development opportunities available to campus.
Wisconsin Teaching Fellows/Scholars (WTF/S)
The WTF&S program offers UW faculty and teaching academic staff a unique opportunity to collaborate with other exceptional teachers from across the UW System and from various disciplines. Many participants have found that the experience reenergized their work and even transformed their approach to teaching and learning. Collaboration with colleagues from diverse perspectives lies at the heart of the program. In addition to discussing illuminating works selected from the pedagogical literature, Fellows and Scholars are guided through the process of completing a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project with input from fellow participants and the program co-directors. OPID encourages applications from eligible faculty and staff that are open to new ideas and learning from others.
Two faculty members will be selected from UWRF to complete a teaching and learning project. Each participant will receive $4,000 in financial support from UWRF and a $500 supplies and expense grant from OPID.
More information about WTF/S Program
Evidence Based Teaching Fellows (EBTF)
The Evidence Based Teaching Fellows Program supports faculty members as they systematically inquire into a particular area of interest or concern with respect to teaching and learning. The data collected can then be published as well as used to inform existing teaching practice.
The course changes and data collection should occur during the following Fall semester in the next academic year after becoming an EBTF participant (exceptions will be considered for Spring courses).
Participants in the program must complete three critical parts of the project including: completing activities prior to the group meetings, participating in group meetings with other program participants, and meeting individually with the program coordinator to discuss their project.
Five individuals will be chosen to work together and with the EBTF Coordinator to investigate an issue of student learning within one of their courses. Meetings will occur through the Fall and Spring semesters culminating in a final project proposal to be completed in June.
More information about the EBTF program
Online Teaching Institute (OTI)
The Online Teaching Institute (OTI) is a semester long program that provides individual support to faculty members who are redesigning an existing course for online delivery. Faculty members meet regularly with an instructional designer to collaborate on the design and development of their course. In addition, OTI participants meet with other colleagues in a group setting to share their work and receive feedback. Online activities are also planned to provide faculty members with the experience of participating in an online course.
Each participant will receive a payment of $1,000 per course credit at the time the course is delivered online for the first time.
More information about the OTI program
Online Course Redesign (OCR)
The Online Course Redesign (OCR) provides funding and instructional support for faculty and instructional academic staff members interested in reconstructing a significant portion of a course currently offered online.
Applicants should clearly identify a significant teaching or student learning challenge that currently exists in a course and provide a detailed plan for redesigning the course to address the issue.
Participants will receive $750 per credit for the course being redesigned. If required for the project, additional one-time funding (under $250) is available for equipment (microphone, digital camera, etc) or software (screen recording software, etc).
Summer Online Training Program
The Summer Online Training Program (SOT) is a semester long program that provides individual support to faculty members who are redesigning an existing course for online delivery. Faculty members meet regularly with an instructional designer to collaborate on the design and development of their course. In addition, SOT participants meet with other colleagues in a group setting to share their work and receive feedback. Online activities are also planned to provide faculty members with the experience of participating in an online course.
Applicants must be available for training sessions with instructional designers during the summer (e.g. June 1-August 1, approximately).
Faculty College
The Faculty College program offers UW faculty and teaching academic staff a unique opportunity to collaborate with other exceptional teachers from across the UW System during a four-day faculty development experience focused on teaching and learning.
Four faculty members will be selected from UWRF to participate in the four-day Faculty College experience, typically held at UW-Richland (Richland Center, WI) during the last week of May. Preference will be given to faculty who have not participated in Faculty College within the previous five years. A random process will then be used to identify participants.

GREAT Falcon STEM Fellows
The GREAT Falcon STEM Fellow (GFSF) program is a key element in a five-year NSF-funded grant designed to increase the number of STEM graduates at UWRF. This program is specifically tied to "Action 1" of the grant that involves the implementation of "active-learning, student-centered pedagogy." The purpose of this program is to increase the use of proven active teaching pedagogies (e.g., Flipped Classroom, Team-based Learning, Peer Instruction, Studio Physics, Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning – POGIL) in STEM courses. Successful applications will articulate essential course content goals and proposed pedagogical changes surrounding those goals. Faculty should be able to convey that they are interested in change and what types of change they are considering. Small but significant changes are preferable to an entire overhaul of a course.
Instructional Academic Staff (must have been at UWRF for at least 3 years) or any Tenured or Tenure-track Faculty member who teach one of the following STEM "gate-way" courses are eligible: BIOL 150, 160, 210, 230, 240, CHEM 120, 121, 122, 130, 231, 232, 233, 240. ESM 105, 220, GEOL 101, 150, 230, 231, 269, MATH 147, 149, 166, 167, 236, 256, 266, PHYS 121, 122, 131, 132, 264. Course Development must occur during summer 2015.

The title of the latest lowbrow yukfest to try and sneak into theaters without being noticed by critics appears, on posters, as "InAPPropriate Comedy," a reference to the fact that its grab bag of short sketches pop up as if they were being haphazardly generated by a tablet computer app.
That much, at least, is truth in advertising. The 20 or so skits — featuring headliners Rob Schneider, Adrien Brody, Michelle Rodriguez and Lindsay Lohan, along with a supporting cast of nobodies — are like that freebie quote-a-day-app you downloaded and then almost immediately regretted: random and repetitive. A more accurate title would be "Inept, Inadequate and Insipid Comedy."
The movie is the brainchild of former ShamWow pitchman Vince Offer, who's credited with directing, co-writing, producing and acting in this seemingly improvised, yet bizarrely stale assortment of crudely misogynistic, scatological, phallic and racist jokes. The opening skit pokes fun at the movie "127 Hours," which came out more than two years ago.
The rest of the humor is equally dated. "Inappropriate Comedy" also targets such long-defunct TV shows as "Jackass" — with an offensive series of six parody skits called "Blackass" — and the 1971 movie "Dirty Harry" — with three separate sketches starring Brody as an effeminate, double-entendre-spewing "Flirty Harry."
The lack of topicality can't be blamed on production delays. "Inappropriate Comedy" has no special effects, elaborate sets or costumes. It feels like it could have been thrown together over a couple of weekends, fueled by a keg or two of Budweiser.
The target demographic, presumably, is the same one that laughed at "Jack and Jill" (which also, unsurprisingly, featured cameos by Offer and Schneider).
Ari Shaffir, who co-wrote the film with Offer and Ken Pringle, brings a spark of life to his performance in "The Amazing Racist." Playing a bluntly clueless bigot who confronts Asians, blacks, Jews and Mexicans, the stand-up comic appears, again and again, in a series of skits meant to evoke the hidden-camera hilarity of "Borat." The joke quickly wears thin.
More original, if even less funny, is a "Blackass" skit in which several men watch as one of them tempts a mouse toward a mousetrap with a dab of spray cheese that has been applied to his penis.
The result is, predictably, painful.

Why is "xxxx doth not a yyyy make" considered valid English?
Proper usage/origin of the generic phrase "[action phrase] does not a [noun] make"
"Dazzling images do not a shining nation make"
I came across an article in TOI Crest Edition about black-and-white films. It had the following sentence, which looked dubious to me:
Two films don't a revolution make, and it would be even more simplistic to suggest that these two films are a reaction to the increasing use of CGI, motion capture and 3D in films today.
It is about the two recent black-and-white movies 'The Artist' and 'Good Night Good Morning'.
Is this sentence grammatically correct? Why?

Man Tries to Steal Shrimp by Stuffing Bag Down Pants
While grocery shopping last Thursday, Pennsylvania resident Brian McDaniel decided he wanted to chow down on some shrimp.
Instead of paying for them like your typical consumer, he allegedly shoved the bag down his pants and tried to saunter out of the store.
Unfortunately for 37-year-old McDaniel, a security guard spotted him in the act and attempted to stop him on his way out. In an effort to keep his shrimp, McDaniel assaulted the guard. He now faces assault and robbery charges and is currently held on bail for $10,000.

Appendix 1 - Information for Level 85 Warlocks in 5.0.4
The key change to this spec is the introduction of Demonic Fury as a resource. When you're not in Meta, some of your spells generate this resource as you cast them. When you go into Meta, your spells all cost Demonic Fury, and it also drains at a constant rate of 6 per second, and the maximum you can have is 1000. Going into Metamorphosis gives you a significant damage boost and transforms your spells into different abilities. Metamorphosis also does not have a cooldown any more, which means you're only limited by how much Demonic Fury you can generate, which gives you the option to decide when you want to activate Metamorphosis based upon the damage requirements of the fight.
In its current state, Demonology offers strong single target damage and still retains its place as the king of AoE.
This guide should teach you everything you need to know about the spec in order to play successfully.
1. Talents
In Mists of Pandaria, talents are no longer split into trees that have prerequisites. They also do not offer noticeable DPS gains, which means there is a lot more room for flexibility. Some encounters will have clear winners, whereas others it will simply boil down to your play style.
Tier 1
If you're going to be doing any AoE, you must take Harvest Life. This is your AoE filler spell. If not, there isn't a clear winner here. Soul Leech will ease your healer's work by providing a constant flow of health, but Dark Regeneration adds an extra survival cooldown that might save you in dangerous situations.
Tier 2
Howl of Terror isn't going to be useful in a whole lot of situations, although there may be specific encounters in the future where it's reliable. Mortal Coil has the benefit of providing you with 15% of your maximum health which gives it far more practical use in a raid situation, so it will be the talent of choice in most situations. With that in mind, on certain encounters involving stunnable adds, Shadowfury will be a great talent, so don't ignore it completely. I'll be explaining specific encounters where it'll be useful in future guides on my website.
Tier 3
The talents in this tree are all heavy defensive abilities. Soul Link in its current state shares damage between you and your pet so that you both remain at the same percentage of health. This works both ways, so you take a large amount of any damage directed at your pet. Any Warlock that did Madness of Deathwing Heroic will know that pets have a terrible tendency to stand in places that will get them killed, and whilst this could boil down to simply requiring better pet control, you're better off avoiding this talent completely. Sacrificial Pact offers you a ~300k shield, but Dark Bargain could save you from a lot more depending on how it's used, and is by far the best talent in my books.
Tier 4
Burning Rush is the go to talent of choice here - an on demand sprint with no cooldown is absolutely amazing. There may be the odd fight here or there where you want Unbound Will. There likely won't be any occasions where Blood Fear will have use in PvE.
Tier 5
Grimoire of Service offers the highest DPS gain for Demonology from the talents in this tier. This summons an additional demon to fight for you for 20 seconds on a two minute cooldown.
Tier 6
Honestly, the talents in this tier are all far too encounter specific to judge outright. For stationary "ultraxion type" fights without any AoE the only choice is Archimonde's Vengeance, on fights with considerable AoE you'll want to take Mannoroth's Fury, and on highly mobile fights Kil'jaeden's Cunning will be the talent of choice.
2. Glyphs
Like most things in MoP, the glyph system has been simplified. Most of the Warlock glyphs do not offer any DPS gains and are simply cosmetic or fun tweaks to the class. There are three you should consider for Demonology:
[Glyph of Shadow Bolt]: Gives you a higher uptime on proc effects.
[Glyph of Soulstone]: This is optional, but the only other Major glyph with any practical use.
[Glyph of Imp Swarm]: Gives you the Imp Swarm ability. This summons a swarm of Imps to attack the target, which provides short term DPS at a cost of long term DPS.
3. Stats
This is your primary stat. Each point of Intellect increases your Spell Power by 1. However, when looking at your gear, each point of Intellect is actually worth 1.05 Intellect due to the passive ability Nethermancy. Therefore, if an item has 20 Intellect, you will gain 21 Intellect when you equip it. Intellect also increases your crit chance by a very small amount; 2548 Intellect gives you 1% chance to crit.
Increases your chance to hit with spells. You need a total of 15% hit to reach cap, and 340 hit rating is equal to 1% hit. Once you reach the hit cap (5100 hit rating), your spells are all guaranteed to hit, so any additional hit is pointless.
Makes your spells cast faster and reduces your global cooldown. 1% Haste makes your spells cast 1% faster, and you need 423 haste rating to gain 1%.
Crit Rating
Increases your chance to critically hit with spells. You need 600 crit rating to gain 1% chance to crit.
Each percent of Mastery increases the damage you do in caster form and the damage your demons do by 1%. Each percent also increases the damage you do in Metamorphosis by 3%. Each percent of Mastery is equal to 302 Mastery rating.
As a general rule of thumb, you should consider stats in the following order of importance:
Intellect --> Spell Power --> Hit (Up to 15%) --> Haste --> Crit --> Mastery.
Intellect will almost always be the deciding factor in your upgrades. Hit is almost as good as Intellect, and almost twice as good as your other secondary stats, so focus on getting as close to the hit cap as possible. Haste is generally superior to crit at all stages of your gear unless you have very low Crit and very high Haste.
To optimise your reforging, once your gear is relatively stable, use the scale factors generated by SimCraft and plug them into www.wowreforge.com. Import your character, specify the hit cap and away you go. If you don't know how to use SimCraft, I'll explain it in a future tutorial. If you don't want to Sim your own character, or don't care about accuracy, you can use the default scale factors in WoW Reforge. You could also use the addon ReforgeLite for similar functionality.
4. Gems
SOCKET COLOUR GEM EFFECT Meta [Burning Primal Diamond] 216 Intellect and Increased Critical Effect Red [Brilliant Primordial Ruby]
160 Intellect Yellow [Reckless Vermilion Onyx]
80 Intellect and 160 Haste Blue [Veiled Imperial Amethyst]
or[Rigid River's Heart]
80 Intellect and 160 Hit
320 Hit
Stick to the socket colours unless the bonus is particularly weak. Intellect is more than twice as good as your other stats in all current gear, with the possible exception of Hit in some circumstances. You can use [Rigid River's Heart] in blue slots if you're struggling to get hit capped.
5. Enchants
SLOT ENCHANT EFFECT Shoulder Greater Crane Wing Inscription 200 Intellect and 100 Crit Stike Rating Back Superior Intellect 180 Intellect Chest Glorious Stats 80 All Stats Wrist Super Intellect 170 Intellect Gloves Greater Haste 170 Haste Belt Living Steel Belt Buckle Extra socket Legs Greater Cerulean Spellthread 285 Intellect and 165 Crit Strike Rating Boots Pandaren's Step 140 Mastery Rating and run speed. Weapon Jade Spirit 1650 Intellect on a proc chance. Off-Hand Major Intellect 165 Intellect
6. Your Demon
Currently Demonology uses the Felguard as its pet of choice. This gives you a powerful single target dps pet with the potential for heavy AoE via Felstorm.
You also must not neglect your Doomguard. This is a powerful demon that you can summon only once every 10 minutes, and he stays with you for 45 seconds, attacking the target that you cast him on. He deals 20% bonus damage to enemies under 20% health, and also benefits from bloodlust. The best time to use him depends heavily on the fight that you're on and when your raid uses bloodlust, but it will almost always be just before bloodlust is cast.
The Infernal is the Doomguard's equivalent for AoE situations. He shares the cooldown with the Doomguard, so you must decide which one is most appropriate to use.
7. Spells and Abilities - Single Target
Caster Form Spells:
CORRUPTION: This deals Shadow damage every 2 seconds for 18 seconds. This spell becomes Doom when you go into Metamorphosis, meaning that you cannot cast Corruption when in Metamorphosis. Generates 4 Demonic Fury every time it deals damage.
SOUL FIRE: Deals fire damage with a 100% chance to critically strike. The damage is increased by your critical strike chance. Generates 30 Demonic Fury.
HAND OF GUL'DAN: Summons a falling meteor that hits the target and enemies within 6 yards for Shadow damage, and inflicts them with Shadowflame. Shadowflame deals damage every second for 6 seconds, and generates 2 Demonic Fury each time it deals damage. You can have two charges of this, and each charge takes 15 seconds to regenerate. The Shadowflame effect also stacks.
IMP SWARM: Summons a swarm of Imps to attack the target. 2 minute cooldown.
SHADOW BOLT: Deals Shadow damage.
Metamorphosis Spells:
DOOM: This deals Shadow damage every 15 seconds for 60 seconds. Your Corruption spell becomes this ability when you go into Metamorphosis, meaning that you can only cast Doom whilst you are in Metamorphosis, but you can have both Doom and Corruption active on the same enemy. Doom can be cast on multiple enemies. Costs 60 Demonic Fury.
TOUCH OF CHAOS: Your Shadow Bolt spell transforms into this when in Metamorphosis. Deals Shadow damage and extends the duration of Corruption. Costs 40 Demonic Fury.
CARRION SWARM: Deals Shadow damage in a frontal cone, and also knocks back enemies and interrupts spell casting. Costs 50 Demonic Fury. This is used as a knockback, and is not part of your dps rotation.
Buff Spells:
DARK SOUL: Increases your Mastery rating by 18,000 for 20 seconds.
METAMORPHOSIS: Transform into a Demon, increasing damage done and transforming your abilities.
MOLTEN CORE: This is a proc that has a chance to occur when you use Shadow Bolt, or when your Wild Imps do damage. This reduces the cast time and mana cost of your next Soul fire by 50%. You can gain many charges of Molten Core.
Spell Priority: Caster Form
1 - Grimoire of Service - Use on cooldown.
2 - Corruption - Keep this up.
3 - Hand of Gul'dan - Use on cooldown (*read more below).
4 - Soul Fire - Use when Molten Core procs
5 - Shadow Bolt - Use as a filler.
Spell Priority: Demon Form
1 - Doom - Keep this up.
2 - Touch of Chaos - Spam this.
At the start of the fight, use a Potion of the Jade Serpent and begin pre-casting a Shadow Bolt to land just as the boss is pulled. Send your pet in and use Grimoire of Service. Then use a macro to switch into Metamorphosis, apply Doom, and cancel Metamorphosis. Next, use Felstorm and Corruption, followed by Hand of Gul'dan. React to Soul Fire procs and use Shadow Bolt as your filler.
When you use Hand of Gul'dan, it puts the Shadowflame DoT on the enemy. This lasts 6 seconds and can stack up to two times. For DPS purposes, the best way to use Hand of Gul'dan is to wait until you almost have two charges of it, use it once to apply the initial Shadowflame, and use it again before Shadowflame expires in order to gain two stacks of the DoT. This maximises Shadowflame's uptime.
You want to use Dark Soul with Meta as soon as you have enough Fury to last the entire of Dark Soul, which should be somewhere in the range of 700 Fury. When you get there, go into Meta with Dark Soul and spam Touch of Chaos. Don't cast Soul Fire when in Meta unless the enemy is under 25% or unless something needs to die immediately.
After that first Meta, you want to build up your fury once again. Whenever your Fury gets near full, go into Meta until it drops to around 750. Only burn lower than that if Dark Soul is available or if you actually need the DPS at that moment.
Also, remember that you can have both Corruption and Doom up at the same time, on as many targets as you wish.
Remember that if nobody else in your raid is providing the magic damage taken debuff, remember to apply Curse of the Elements on every enemy you attack. Remember to use Flask of the Warm Sun at all times, and use Potion of the Jade Serpent immediately before you enter combat, and again at critical stages of the fight.
8. Spells and Abilities - Multi Target and AoE
VOID RAY: This deals Shadowflame damage to all enemies in a 20 yard line in front of you. It extends the duration of Corruption on afflicted targets by 6 seconds. Your Fel Flame spell becomes this ability when you go into Metamorphosis.
CURSED AURAS: Your curse spells becomes Auras, hitting all targets within 20 yards.
HELLFIRE: Inflicts Fire damage to all nearby enemies and the caster, and generates 3 Demonic Fury per target hit. Channelled spell, 15 seconds.
IMMOLATION AURA: Your Hellfire spell no longer needs to be channelled and no longer damages you. Metamorphosis only.
HARVEST LIFE: Drains the life of all enemies within 15 yards of the target, inflicting Shadow damage and restoring 10 Demonic Fury per second plus three per secondary target.
Spell Priority: Caster Form
Corruption - Apply to each enemy.
Hand of Gul'dan - Use on cooldown.
Harvest Life - Use as filler.
Spell Priority: Demon Form
Immolation Aura - Keep active.
Void Ray - Use to keep Corruption up.
Doom - Keep up on each enemy if they will live for at least 30 seconds.
Void Ray - Spam if the enemies are stacked up tightly in front of you, or Harvest Life if they are spread out slightly.
You should still use Felstorm and Grimoire of Service whenever you can as your highest priority, and use Dark Soul when you go into Metamorphosis. Use Hand of Gul'dan for very high damage and to apply Shadowflame to your enemies, with Harvest Life as your filler in caster form when you want to build fury.
You should use Metamorphosis once you have full Demonic Fury, or, if you need something to die sooner, then react appropriately. Immolation Aura will burn through your Fury extremely quickly, so only use it at high fury. Apply Doom to each enemy and spam Void Ray for dps and to keep Corruption up.
9. Extra Tips
This section should clarify some of the major mechanic changes between Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria.
Dot Refreshing:
At level 90, DoTs are refreshed in a different way. If you cast Corruption on an enemy that already has Corruption on it, the remaining duration of the previous effect will be added to the new effect, up to a maximum of 50% of its base duration. So, if you recast Corruption when it has 6 seconds remaining, it will now have 24 seconds remaining. The maximum duration it will increase to is 27 seconds, since its base duration is 18. This means that you can refresh it any time when it has less than 9 seconds remaining and you won't waste any time. (9+ 18= 27).
Before you reach level 90, this extension doesn't happen, which means you should refresh your DoT just after it expires.
Doom Guard:
Your Doomguard now benefits from Bloodlust and deals bonus damage when under 20%. He also updates dynamically with your stats - there is no need to wait for Int or Haste procs before you summon him - although summoning him when their internal cooldown is soon to expire will be beneficial, to ensure they proc whilst he is out.
10. Mists of Pandaria - Gearing up in Week 1
During the first week of Mists of Pandaria, there won't be any raids available (except for the two outdoor raid bosses). It also will not be possible to acquire enough Valor to purchase any gear, or achieve Revered with most factions. This means that during the first week of MoP, when gearing up ready for raids in the second week, most of your gear will come from heroics and from a few crafted items. Below is a table that shows the BiS gear that is attainable in the first week, so that you can be completely prepared for your raids. I've also included the scale factors once you're wearing that gear.
Stat Weights for this gear set:
Appendix 1 - Information for Level 85 Warlocks in 5.0.4
- http://wowraids.org/raiding-as-a-warlock-level-85/
Most of the information in the three guides I wrote on these forums will do you fine at level 85. The below information is other stuff you'll want to know that applies ONLY to level 85:
- The hit cap is now 15%, which is 1537 rating. It was previously 1742, which means you will need to reforge out of some hit.
- You can only refresh your DoTs between their penultimate and their final tick. Since many of our DoTs tick extremely quickly, it is very difficult to refresh them at the correct time. Corruption, for example, ticks roughly every 1.5 seconds, so the window to refresh it is miniscule. Don't refresh them before the penultimate tick, if you can help it.
- These are your stat priorities:
Int > Hit > Mastery >= Haste > Crit (Haste is better than Mastery once you get a certain amount of Mastery. In Dragon Soul gear, reforge Haste to Mastery until you have around equal amounts of each).
All the other information in the guides, including rotation and talent choices, is applicable to level 85 as well as 90.

The biggest driver of leads for the B2B marketer? Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed by BtoB Magazine said email marketing was the online channel that contributed the most qualified leads to their businesses, according to a recent eMarketer article.
While social media and PPC (SEO was conspicuously missing from the survey) were also top lead sources, this type of logic rings true for many of the B2B organizations we work with as well. Website search presence undoubtedly brings lead opportunities into the sales funnel, but email invitations for more qualified content strategies such as webinars, events, and trade shows are likely to close the deal as well.
It's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. The eMarketer article indicates that 59 percent of those surveyed view lead generation as their greatest online marketing challenge. With that pressure in mind, it's also difficult to move away from the strategies that continue to work well.
Instead of bucking the trend, B2B search engine marketers should work toward aligning their goals with what has worked well for their organizations. In this case, building the email marketing database.
Here are three practical steps tying SEO and PPC initiatives to the continued development of the email marketing list.
Make Email Subscription a Conversion Benchmark
There are several potential metrics B2B marketers can use to benchmark an SEO program. While B2B organizations naturally gravitate to the desire to acquire sales ready leads, search engine marketers need to lead the effort in developing a spectrum of lead opportunities from an SEO program.
While email subscription will probably not lead to an immediately qualified sales prospect, setting goals in coordination with email acquisition sets the stage for more effective conversion attribution in SEO campaign evaluation.
Measurements to consider:
- Growth in overall email information and the quality of email address details
- Conversion rate of email acquisition at the page level and by keyword strategies
Create More Visibility to Email Subscriptions in Page Templates
Landing page optimization is a critical component of any search engine marketing initiative. Consider supporting primary conversion goals with an opportunity to acquire email subscriptions as well. Places B2B search engine marketers could consider optimizing for email as a secondary conversion include:
- Below the primary form submission
- In utility navigation
- Confirmation page messaging
Places where email subscription could be considered a primary conversion opportunity include:
- Blog and blog post navigational stream
- Social media assets
- As additional correspondence in email and traditional marketing collateral
- Mobile applications
Contact AdWords About the Communication Extensions Beta
Not widely adopted and hard to find in terms of (ironic) communication, the AdWords communications extension beta could become another way to drive email registrations for the B2B organization.
Via this support thread on Google AdWords:
"Currently, the communication extentions are tested by the team on a small portion of selected accounts. However, if you'd like to participate in beta testings, you need to email/call the support team, provide details about your account and submit it. "
There is a concern over the quality of email information users would put into such a form submission. While forum thread conversion indicated that "there has been a lot of great feedback from the advertisers who have been testing these features", a recent interview in WebProNews from Aweber had not seen "a ton of traffic", but they've learned a few things in the first month of adoption to improve usage over time.
A few basic considerations:
- Don't put all your eggs in one basket; if approved set aside a subset of keywords or separate campaigns to test
- Test ad position to determine maximum effectiveness
- Evaluate competitive ads and offerings for specific keywords selected
Final Thoughts
The eMarketer article goes on to explain that even though email marketing is the top lead generation source, B2B marketers and agencies felt that social media in particular has room to grow for their organizations. Fifty-five percent of all organizations surveyed believe that social media showed great promise but was still in too early a stage in their marketing strategy to tell for certain. Only 5 percent of respondents described their social media efforts as "well-optimized," compared with 30 percent who felt that way about their email programs.
With the influence social media will bring to search engine marketing programs over time, these findings make it much more of an imperative for B2B SEO's in short- and long-term scenarios. Search engine marketers should seek to take the lead in social media but must also demonstrate clear tie-in to the current B2B internet marketing programs driving leads for the organization as well.
Don't ignore online marketing channels that work and are trusted like email marketing. Build the case for SEO and PPC to support and enhance all channels of lead opportunity, existing and in development.

Quiznos added an 'Interactive Allergy Menu' tool to its U.S. website and mobile phone applications to make ordering easier for customers with food allergies and restrictions.
A customer simply selects foods or ingredients he wishes to avoid and immediately views all available Quiznos menu options. Customers can choose from hundreds of combinations of items to avoid including the eight major allergen groups or specific ingredients like MSG, gluten, or sulfites.
This tool helps customers enjoy a better experience by quickly presenting all available options and speeding up the ordering process without the hassle or embarrassment of having to ask or guess. The mobile application follows the same ordering process as customers go through in the restaurant, making ordering decisions even more convenient.
The Quiznos Interactive Allergy Menus were developed and customized by Gipsee Inc., a Colorado company that develops and customizes restriction-based dining solutions for restaurants, schools, universities, and other related segments.
Customers can access the Quiznos Interactive Allergy Menu at Quiznos.com/menu/restaurant or on any smartphone by entering http://www.quiznos.com/mobile on their mobile browser.
The tool serves to provide customers with many options and also alerts customers that cross-product contamination is still possible due to the way sandwiches are assembled in the restaurants. Quiznos attempts to provide ingredient information regarding its products that is as complete as possible. The information contained in the tools is based on standard product formulations. Variations may occur due to differences in suppliers, ingredient substitutions, recipe revisions, and/or product production at the restaurant. Some menu items may not be available at all restaurants; test products, test formulations, or regional items may not be included. All items are prepared in common areas and may contain trace amounts of ingredients contained in other products.

When the New York Jets were making back-to-back appearances in the AFC Championship game in 2009 and 2010, their defense was one of the most blitz-happy teams in the NFL. Over the last two years with Mike Pettine serving as the defensive play-caller, the percentage of blitzes by the Jets have decreased substantially.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com, the Jets were first and third in the NFL in 2009 and 2010, respectively, in blitz percentage. They were 12th and 11th the past two seasons with Pettine at the helm. As noted in one-liners this morning, with Pettine now in Buffalo the Jets plan to go back to their blitzing ways this fall.
"We're going to do a lot of blitzing and getting after people," Jets linebacker David Harris said to Cimini. "There should be a different brand of football than you were used to seeing the last couple of years." Asked about last season's philosophy, Harris said, "We played more coverage. It wasn't like '09, that's obvious. That's all I'll say about that."
The Jets blitzed on more than 50-percent of their defensive snaps in 2009. The last two seasons, the Jets blitzed on just 32.8 percent of snaps in 2011 and 34-percent of snaps in 2012.
A change in defensive aggression the last two years isn't the only reason the Jets have fallen off in terms of win-loss record (Mark Sanchez doesn't play on that side of the ball). However, it seems safe to say that if head coach Rex Ryan isn't going to survive this season as the Jets coach, he's at least planning to go out doing things his way once again.

Everyone wants it. Everyone needs it.
But extending it to those who have wronged us? That isn't so easy.
Few celebrations point so directly to hope for the marred human condition than Easter, when Christians gather to mark God's forgiveness of sins through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In turn, Christians are commanded to forgive others.
Millions of believers will gather today in churches throughout the world to celebrate the faith's central event and the forgiveness it both offers and commands.
"The cross is central to forgiveness," said Ruth Brewer, who is celebrating the holiday with her family at Discovery Church in Simi Valley. "I can forgive because God has forgiven me."
From last year's Boston Marathon bombing to the verbal violence that assaults from our computer screens, there is no shortage of opportunity to practice the virtue of forgiveness.
Seemingly random mass shootings take the innocent lives of children, leaving communities shocked all the more when the teenager down the street is arrested.
For Filipo and Neise Leafa, Christians who lost their oldest son, Shailo, in a still-unsolved shooting just last month near Torrance, Sunday's church celebration will be bittersweet. The grief is still much too fresh.
"It has been really, really hard," a tearful Neise Leafa said. "We thank God for our faith. But it's still really hard. I feel like I'm still in shock that I will never hold him or kiss him or see his beautiful face again."
While she said she forgives whoever shot her son — a suspect has yet to be identified — she wants the perpetrator caught and held accountable.
"I've already forgiven the person or people who have done this to my son. … We have to pray for them and forgive them. But it still hurts. I want them to know what they've done to our family."
Her husband, meanwhile, is coping with rage in the immediate wake of the family's loss.
"Our lives have changed," he said. "I buried my parents, but it's not the same as burying your son."
There seem to be no shortcuts in the process of forgiveness.
In fact, the real work often takes most people through long periods of anger, tears and sometimes even some fist-shaking at God.
Just ask Brewer.
A newlywed missionary in 1966, she and her husband, Boyce, embarked on a service term to Liberia, where she taught missionary children and he worked at a mission radio station.
Before they left, both went through the required physical with a doctor on the East Coast, where both of them lived at the time.
But the doctor had missed something.
A little over two years later, she was left a 26-year-old widow when her husband died from colon cancer. Symptoms reported to the U.S. doctor in that checkup were dismissed at the time as related to hemorrhoids. No further tests were ordered.
By the time more symptoms turned up, the cancer had spread and was incurable.
"My life fell apart," said Brewer, 72, who now lives with her second husband, Ted, in Simi Valley near their daughter who is pursuing her doctorate in nursing at UCLA.
Later, when she prepared to return to Africa, she had to return to that doctor, who apologized to her for the missed diagnosis that proved fatal. Sitting in a chair next to the physician's desk and choking back tears, she responded that she forgave him.
But she could say no more and it was only the beginning of her journey to forgiveness.
"I thought, 'You jerk,' " she said. While forgiveness begins with an act of the will, the process is far from over with that step, said Brewer, who now counsels others in mediation services offered through New Peace, a ministry she and her husband, Ted, a semi-retired pastor, helped start several years ago after their involvement in Peacemaker Ministries.
Forgiveness comes with many misunderstandings, she said.
"Before I learned the depths of forgiveness, I used to say, 'I forgive you,' but what I was really saying is, 'I will forgive you as soon as my feelings change' or 'I will forgive you as soon as I forget what you did' or 'I'll forgive you, I just don't want anything to do with you anymore.' "
This time would prove to be different.
"When I went back to Liberia, I began to feel the anger and hurt and aloneness," she said. "I cried until I couldn't cry any longer, I shook my fist at God for taking (my husband). I cursed that doctor, I was in a living hell."
A co-worker on the mission field allowed her to vent, sitting with her at night as she raged against the doctor, and sometimes against God.
"She listened to me and never judged me," she said. "I learned that granting forgiveness is an event. Carrying out forgiveness is a process."
Again and again she returned to the Bible for guidance.
"Ephesians 4:32 says, 'Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ has forgiven you.' … Boy, that's a high standard," she said.
Many people try to bypass the process altogether.
Western culture is good at avoiding and minimizing conflict, said San Diego attorney Matthew Argue, a certified mediator for Peacemaker Ministries in Montana. His work takes him throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles, where he meets with individuals trying to sort out differences that run the gamut from marriage and divorce issues to church splits.
"We stuff (conflict) down until it explodes," he said, adding that outbursts of anger are more tolerated in today's culture. "Everywhere we go in life it seems like we're confronted with conflict. … We need to learn how to deal with that and be reconciled."
Forgiveness, he said, requires a sincerity from both parties who often — though not always — have played a role in the dispute. And re-establishing trust with the person so that the relationship is fully restored, he said, is another step altogether.
"It's important to get the log out of our own eye so we can look beyond our own perspective and look at the other person to see how they've been harmed," he said. "People can be very magnanimous and very gracious and compassionate toward each other once they feel the other person has understood them."
In the Christian faith, being reconciled to God first, Argue and Brewer said, clears the way to be reconciled to others.
"C.S. Lewis said to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in me," Brewer said.
And while there's no quick fix, Argue said finding reconciliation is worth the effort.
"There are some powerful stories out there of families who have been able to forgive horrible acts and it's been to their (emotional and spiritual) benefit," Argue said. "That doesn't mean there are no consequences for the person who created the (damage)."
For Brewer, the journey took several years and culminated at a missionary medical conference in Boston.
As the speaker announced an award, she watched as the doctor who had misdiagnosed her first husband stepped up to the podium to be honored for the medical research he'd done on Lassa fever in Africa.
Only then did she know for sure.
"I didn't feel any more anger, I was calm in my spirit — there were no more open sores and there was no more silent pain," she said. "I just felt a new freedom.

Dan Aykroyd talked about this vaguely earlier this month, but he has now confirmed to The Telegraph that Bill Murray won't be a part of Ghostbusters 3, if the film gets made at Sony Pictures.
"I honestly don't know. At this point it's in suspended animation," he said when asked about the film's status. "The studio, the director Ivan Reitman and Harold Ramis feel there must be a way to do it, but Bill Murray will not do the movie. He doesn't want to be involved. He's got six kids, houses all over America. He golfs in these tournaments where they pay him to turn up and have a laugh. He's into this life and living it. I know we'd have a lot of fun [but] I can't be mad at him. Hes a friend first, a colleague second. We have a deep personal relationship that transcends business and he doesnt want to know."
Aykroyd previously said that one possibility would be to recast Murray's role, but he adds that they are "not going to do a movie that exploits the franchise. The script has to be perfect. I'm the cheerleader, but I'm only one voice in the matter. It's a surety that Bill Murray will not do the movie, however there is still interest from the studio."
Would there still be interest from you if Bill Murray wasn't part of the third film?

Got some time on the phone today with Raiders coach Dennis Allen, asking him about getting his program off the ground in the restricted era of the new CBA, his impressions of how the first week is going in the strength and conditioning phase, as well as his reaction to what's going on with the Saints, where he was the defensive backs coach for a Super Bowl champion:
Q: With new CBA, offseason is uncharted territory, how did you go implementing your program?
Allen: coming into this thing, I've kind of accumulated some knowledge over the year, being in Atlanta, seeing how Dan Reeves did it and how Jim Mora did it, going to New Orleans, seeing how Sean Payton did it, last year, getting a chance to see how John Fox did it. I've kind of taken some ideas from everything that we've done in the past and tried to incorporate that into what we're going to do this year. Now obviously with the new offseason rules, it makes that even more of a challenge. As I've gone through this I've had an opportunity, not anybody in particular,necessarily, but reach out to a few coaches both new coaches, head coaches in the NFL, and also coaches that have been in the league and kind of ask their opinion on how they've done things. And obviously we've spent a lot of time with our people here, with Dan Ventrelle, with Tom Delaney, as well as myself and the coordinators trying to sort through everything and make sure we're following all the rules of the new CBA.
Q: The new regime of the Raiders, players and coaches, met for the first time this week, how would you characterize the first meeting? Was there a mission statement, or more of a simple laying out of what your plan is for this camp?
Allen: It was a little bit of a combination of all that, and I think what we tried to do is make sure we declared the expectations of the players, and really what type of players that we're looking for to build the team that we want to become. It was more of an information session for them, to let them know, from a coaching standpoint, what we're looking for.
Q: During this first phase, only strength and conditioning coach can be on field with players?
Allen: That's correct.
Q: Plus two hours of meetings allowed per day?
Allen: That's correct.
Q: Where those meetings scheme-oriented?
Allen: We're installing offensive and defensive schemes during those meetings. We're setting the foundation for what are beliefs are, what are core values are, from a defensive standpoint. We're setting our core values and beliefs from an offensive standpoint as well as getting into the scheme and what we're going to run.
Q: As far as players being on the film with strength and conditioning coaches, is that stuff filmed and can that film be analyzed?
Allen: It cannot be analyzed. By league rules we have to video, anything that goes on on the field has to be videoed and we have to keep that video into the regular season so in case there's ever any type of dispute there's video evidence.
Q: What kind of turnount have you had for this phase?
Allen: I've been real pleased with the turnout. It hasn't been 100 percent but it's in the 90 something percent range. I've been real pleased with it, the guys are really working hard, the strength coaches come up here every day and give me an update on how everybody is doing and I've been real pleased with the work we've got done so far.
Q: You're still in the very early stages of getting to know this team, but can you form any impressions at all of what you've seen the first few days?
Allen: Well, I think the thing that I would look at with these guys, I would say these guys are eager, they're eager for change, they're eager for getting an opportunity to get started, they're looking forward to a clean slate, and I've been pleased with their eagnerness to work.
Q: Are guys like McFadden, Shaughnessy, Ford, that had injury issues last year, are they on site and can they let it rip in terms of conditioning or are they still restricted in some way?
Allen: I can't necessarily answer that question because I haven't seen that with my own eyes, but based on the reports that I'm getting, these guys are, if they're not fully 100 percent they're pretty close and they're ready to go.
Q: Now that you're in the conditioning phase, curious whether the run on hamstring and foot injuries last year was addressed and studied, and have things been implemented to prevent that? Or was it just written off as a fluke during the lockout year with no off-season?
Allen: We don't look at anything as a fluke around here. We're always trying to evaluate anything within the program and see if there's anything we can do to make that better. We're looking at, OK, if we have a lot of hamstring injuries, what can we do from a strength and conditioning standpoint to correct that? What we do from a chiropractic standpoint to correct that? From a training room standpoint, what can we do? Is there something a field maintenance standpoint we can do? We're going to look at everything within the organization that we can to try and help our players stay healthy to give us the best chance to win.
Q: Has the bounty issue been addressed already, or do you wait until there's contact at practice?
Allen: It's been addressed, it's going to be something that when we have the whole team together is a better time to address that.
Q: With the ongoing bounty story, does that at all taint the championship you won there and did you have any direct knowledge of the bounty system in place?
Allen: What I'm going to say about it is, No. 1, I'm proud of the success that we were able to have there, and No.2 , I've moved on, and I'm really a lot more interested in what's happening with the Oakland Raiders and trying to prepare ourselves for the upcoming season. What's happened in the past, I've really moved on.

Handlebar Minibar Brings Bike Riding to New Levels of Awesome
We're not really sure what a booze cruise entails, but it sounds pretty awesome to us -- any kind of travel is just plain better after a bit of whiskey or a couple of beers -- especially bike riding. Kickstarter user Yannick Read has come up with a way to infuse the booze into his cycling -- the 'Handlebar Minibar' invention. It's basically exactly what it sounds like-- a way to store an alcoholic drink in the handlebars of your bike. Read has created test tube-like inserts that fit most bike handlebars. Why'd he do it? because he loves cycling and is "also rather partial to cherry brandy..." That's the classiest answer we've ever heard; this dude definitely has an awesome mustache.
We're not encouraging drunk bike riding by any means, especially because the vials hold less than half a shot of booze. However, having alcohol handy on a bike ride means that you travel with your nightcap, and that's also really classy. The handlebar tubes can also hold other small items like money or cigarettes.
If you think a boozy bikeride would be worthwhile, which we imagine it completely would be, head on over to Yannick's Kickstarter site and support the classy gentleman.

Nap Nanny seats made by Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., pose a 'substantial risk of injury and death to infants,' the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
Makers of the popular Nap Nanny infant recliner seats, which have been tied to the deaths of five babies, have failed to do enough about the potential hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The CPSC voted to sue Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., which makes the Nap Nanny and Nap Nanny Chill seats, saying they pose "a substantial risk of injury and death to infants". It is seeking an order to require Baby Matters to notify the public of the product defects and to offer consumers a full refund.
But the company's owner, Leslie Gudel, said that "improper use," not flawed design, may be behind any deaths or injuries associated with her product.
"The loss of an infant is an unthinkable tragedy, and I am truly heartbroken for the families who have lost a child," she said in a statement posted on the company's website. "But the fact that infants have died 'while using' the Nap Nanny improperly, such as when used in a crib where the child could suffocate on a crib bumper or blanket, does not mean our product caused the child's death or is hazardous."
The company issued a cooperative recall in July 2010 of 30,000 Nap Nanny portable baby recliners after the death of a 4-month old girl who became caught in the baby seat's harness, CPSC officials said.
At the time, the company offered an $80 coupon to owners of Nap Nanny Generation One owners toward purchase of a newer model. It also issued improved instructions and warnings to consumers.
Since then, the CPSC said that four more babies have died in Nap Nanny Generation Two or Chill seats and the agency has received more than 70 reports of children nearly falling out of the product. Babies have fallen out of the seats and become entrapped in the harnesses.
Gudel, however, said that while one child died after using the Nap Nanny Chill seat, the seat was not used according to directions posted prominently on the product packaging and the seat itself. She said the issue facing her company and the CPSC is the product design, not blame.
"I do not want to point the finger at anybody; that is not my intention," she told NBC News.
However, the CPSC said discussions with Baby Matters officials "failed to result in an adequate voluntary recall plan." CPSC officials voted 3-0 to approve filing of the complaint.
The Nap Nanny Generation One and Two and the Nap Nanny Chill seats are portable recliners used for sleeping, resting and playing. The product includes a shaped foam base with an indentation for the baby to sit and a fitted fabric cover with a three-point harness.
The seats are dangerous when they're used in cribs or when the harness straps aren't securely fastened, CPSC officials said.
About five thousand Nap Nanny Generation One and about 50,000 Nap Nanny Generation Two models were sold between 2009 and early 2012 and have been discontinued. About 100,000 Nap Nanny Chill models have been sold since January 2011. All of the seats were priced around $130.

David White, the national executive director of SAG-AFTRA, could be headed to the National Basketball Players Assn.
White, 45, is a leading candidate to become executive director of the NBA Players Assn., two people familiar with the matter said.
SAG-AFTRA declined to comment on the situation, which was first reported by Yahoo Sports on Friday.
White has been interviewed by NBA Player Assn. President and Clippers star Chris Paul and by the executive committee's members, sources said.
If he is selected for the job, White would be taking over the NBA Players Assn. at a tumultuous time, replacing Billy Hunter, who was fired from the association amid allegations of nepotism, bribery and abuse of resources. Hunter sued the union last May alleging defamation and breach of contract.
White, however, is used to stepping into troubled organizations. The NBA Players Assn. is said to be interested in White in part because of his success in bringing stability to the Screen Actors Guild after the 2009 firing of previous Executive Director Doug Allen, a former NFL Players Assn. veteran.
White's departure would be a blow to SAG-AFTRA, which represents more than 125,000 actors and other performers.
The former SAG general counsel joined the guild five years ago as national executive director and guided it through a merger with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. The two unions merged in March 2012.
The former labor and employment lawyer for O'Melveny & Myers has a year left on his contract, which was extended in May 2012.

Don't just disconnect your instruments and effect and mixer the day of the show and haul them down to the venue -- practice by tearing down your gear and setting it up in another room, and putting it back together. This might reveal things you forgot to consider about equipment problems or shortcomings, or something as simple as cables or adapters you'll need.

Canucks at Sharks Game Day Preview: Sink or Swim
The Canucks suffered their first loss in six games in a lackluster 4-0 defeat to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. It's easy to spin the loss – one in which they allowed 3 goals in the Oilers' first 3 shots in the first 3 minutes of the game and then couldn't generate any sort of offensive momentum to try and at least claw their way back into the game – as "just one of those games". But the truth of the matter is, the Canucks right now are struggling to score.


text: I don't know anyone who loves donuts quite as much as Josh Atlas and so it's wonderful to see him utilizing his passion within the context and even materials of his fine art practice. He's made sculptures incorporating real elements of frosting as well as encasing a donut within a picture frame surrounded by sprinkles. However, don't panic, since he does it all in a way in which he's able to preserve the materials so that they don't disintegrate or attract fruit flies. After all, besides being one of my favorite artists working today, he's also kind of a genius. I mean, he recently graduated with his bfa from Carnegie Melon University!!! But what I think draws me to his work most is that it's all about what he calls "The Holy Trinity of Want" – food, love, and sex – and he showcases it all with a gigantic sense of elegant humor.

Have you ever shared a house or a flat with someone? You are all sitting around the telly watching repeats of Coast and you ask one of your flat mates to nip down the shops and buy a packet of Hobnobs.
There is as much chance of your slovenly flat mate putting on his shoes and coat and heading off to Lidl than there is as getting someone to link to you.
The point I am making is that useful links are extremely difficult to get, if you give it no thought.
If on the other hand you said, "I have a couple of friends coming over, one of them is that girl you really fancy and by the way did I mention that she loves Hobnobs, do we have any in the cupboard?"
The chance of the slobby flatmate heading off to Lidl increases exponentially.
Rather than ask for a link, make it serve the linkers self interest to link.
Make it your goal to know what the linker is interested in, what gets their juices flowing. What makes their linking finger itch?

As I'm sure you've all seen from royalbrickcustoms' post, TLC is having a Castle contest throughout 2013 to commemorate the anniversary of LEGO Castle. (More details can be found on Rebrick.) The Brickworld division of this contest will be happening this week at Brickworld Chicago.
Now I know what you're thinking, "David, it's way too late to promote people to build new MOC's for a contest that's just around the corner," and you're right. However, if there is anyone out there who has built a contest-worthy Castle MOC, but did not get it registered in time (by May 13,) then I would like to let Brickworld attendees know that they can still bring their creation, and we'll display it in the collaborative Castle layout. We don't want any good Castle creations left out!
