Scientists often talk of there being a "consensus" on global warming. Al Gore addresses this issue directly in An Inconvenient Truth by citing a 2004 study on the extent of agreement among scientists.
The study by Naomi Oreskes, published in Science, examined all the peer-reviewed scientific journal articles between 1993 and 2003 in which the abstract contained the phrase "global climate change". The search was conducted using the Web of Science, a popular search engine used by scientists for surveying the popular literature.
Of the 928 papers she found, not one was skeptical of the notion that "most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations", to quote the IPCC. In other words, every single paper supported the general idea that the emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activity is influencing the climate.
For fun, I did my own search. During that same time period, there were eight peer-reviewed scientific papers supporting "distance healing", that is, having someone else, without your knowledge, pray for your health; one paper with evidence for the existence of "psi", alternative means of transfering information like telepathy; and another arguing that the "sense of being stated at" is a result of extrasensory perception". A lot of nutty stuff. But not one paper that used the phrase "global climate change" that was sceptical of the evidence for human-induced climate change.
I won't claim that Oreskes' study is perfect. Change the search terms, for example use just "climate change", and you will find a few papers examining previous climate changes in the geological past that may be sceptical about the extent of the human role in today's changing climate. The sceptics are still a very very small minority. The take-home message is, however you cut it, the consensus is overwhelming.
For years now, media coverage has wrongly presented the two "sides" of the debate as equal, thanks in large part to lobbying by special interests like the oil and coal industry and the tendency in popular journalism to devote equal space and time to both sides of an issue. We are just now seeing the mainstream press, like USA Today, accept that there really is an incredibly strong consensus on the issue. So if you ever are irritated that some scientists or environmentalists seem to be trying to sell the science of climate change to the public in an almost political way, try to understand that the experts in this field have only resorted to such tactics because for years they were forced to swim upstream, to see the true state of the scientific agreement misrepresented to the public.

The meaning of consensus
Scientists often talk of there being a "consensus" on global warming. Al Gore addresses this issue directly in An Inconvenient Truth by citing a 2004 study on the extent of agreement among scientists.

Very interesting thesis. It takes into account that a scientist sitting in his or her ivory tower completely independent of society. Unfortunately scientists depend on society to provide them with monetary funds for them to carry intellectual endeavor. Therefore, any successful scientist will tell you that majority of success is in writing and receiving grants. Therefore, practice destroys ivory tower theory. If you follow the logic of the Oreskes' study, you can find many thoughsands paper written by scientists in former Soviet Union that support leading and guiding role of Communist Party of Soviet Union in science. So, lets take a fact that Oreskes was a consultant for the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board. This is called motive to support anthropogenic climate change. Why do I hit so hard at the motive and who pays money? Because the thesis claims: "lobbying by special interests like the oil and coal industry" is a root of opposition to the climate change. To some extend it would be true. But I do not think so.
Any person trained in Physical sciences have been trained that there is always an error and unsertainty. Therefore, an intellectual knowing most of possible outcomes will honestly tell that there are different outcome. But in dealing with general population when a person tell them that there are different outcomes, he would be considered not competent. Therefore to appear competent scientists desided that global warming would be the worst outcome. It totally seem logical. 20 years ago it was global cooling, and people were demanding governments to do something, thank God goverments did not do anything. The problem is in details. My favorit show is Simpsons, one (besides bovine university) is where Mr. Burns looses his nuclear plant and ends up in the seniors home. Lisa is very enviromentally knowledgeble and gets Mr. Burns to help her to recicle pop-cans for a dime each. Mr. Burns being good businessman gets whole seniors home working for him, then Lisa tells him that plastic things from six packs catch the fish, therefore they should be cut to prevent that, well watch the epizode to find what happened.
So, let me finish with saying. My personal opinion: there is definitelly anthropogenic climate change. What I can not do is to tell that CO2 is a main culprit. Most of the Earth surface is covered with water. Any scientist who worked with FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy) will tell that H2O is a problem. Well, we can not possibly control water. One observation: why scientists claim increase in hurricane activities over Atlantic, but not in Pacific, or Indian oceans? It is supposed to be a global warming?! The issue that I personally have with global warming is Kyoto protocol. First, this monster became a huge machine that is more interested in self preservation than achieving reduction in carbon dioxide, methane and other GG emissions. Just take a look: how many countries are going to meet Kyoto targets? Canada -- certainly not. Second, governments do not put money into domestic reduction of GG emissions. It can be done through improved productivity, more efficient use of recourses, and real monetary encouragement of citizens to conserve energy. Instead, Kyoto is a huge wealth redistribution scheme to take money from middle class westerners and deliver them to the third world corrupt regimes.
Funny that middle class guilt about their lifestyle compared to the poor nations is used.

A year after we started repositioning the company, Engineering, which had been working on a family of new products literally for years, came to deliver some good news and bad news. 74HGZA3MZ6SV
First the bad news: the new family of eight high performance graphics cards we were counting on couldn't be delivered. The plug-in co-processor architecture was too complex and couldn't be made to work reliably. Instead of the family of eight products we were expecting, only one could be delivered. Nothing else was in the development pipeline for the next 12 months.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. One of the reasons I had joined the company was seeing these boards as hope for the future. Now we were faced with the fact that even though we were gaining market share daily, there was nothing coming out of Engineering.
Well not quite nothing: there was the good news. Instead of eight boards, Engineering was going to be able to deliver one new graphics board. Just one. But it was going to be the fastest graphics board ever made. In fact, according to our Potrero benchmark suite this new board ran our customer applications ten times faster than our current products.
I went home to think about this. Instead of a product family, we had a single point product. Each of my competitors each had 5-10 graphics boards covering a range of prices with performance to match. Even our current product line had four graphics boards in it. Now our new product line would only have one board?!. What could we do?
Marketing Gets into the Engineering Business
The next day I walked in uninvited to the VP of Engineering's office and asked if he had a minute. I said, "I realize you're trying to get the one board out to market, but I have a question – can you slow our new board down?" It doesn't take much imagination to see the look he gave me when I asked that question. "Steve, this hasn't been a good week. What do you really want?" I felt sorry for him, he was working really hard to dig out of this mess. I replied, "No joke. Can you make it slower? I think he wanted to strangle me as he barely got out, "We worked for years to deliver a product that's ten times faster than anything that exists and you want to make it slower?" Well, not exactly, "What I want to know is if the board would work if you slowed it down by 10%?" Yes, was the answer. "How about if you slowed it down 20%?" Yes, was still the answer. "By 30%?" The change in his demeanor – from trying to kill me – to laughing, as it dawned on him where I was going, could only be described as hysterical relief. "40%?" Yes, yes and yes.
We were about to be partners in building a new product family.
Rabbits Out of the Hat – Branding and Line Extensions
First, what we proposed is that we take our world class, ten-times-faster-than-anyone board and build an entire product family around it, by slowing it down. We wanted nine boards, each differing in performance by 10%. The only real difference between them would be the addition of "wait states" or "slow down" instructions on a chip. Our entire new product family would be an identical board.
Next, we were going to create three separate product families, each its own unique brand. And within each brand we would have a "good", "better", and "best" graphic board. All tailored to our color publishing market.
Finally, these product families would be priced to bracket (box in) everyone of our competitors' products with better price and performance. We were going to price the products from $699 to $3,999. Our calculations had us losing money on the two lowest cost boards, breaking even on the third and making great margins on the other six. We calculated our blended gross margin for the company by estimating the number of units we would sell of each board times the gross margin of each individual board (then I crossed my fingers and prayed we were right.)
In essence we were proposing that we ship the same board in 9 different colored boxes and charge from $699 to $3,999 depending on the color of the box and the speed of the board. (This turned out to give our customers immense value. We would have charged $3,999 for the high-end board. Now we could give customers lower price boards without Engineering spending 12 months to design new ones.)
You're Going to Do What?!
The reaction inside our company could not be described as polite. At first most people thought we were joking. No one believed it would work. Some engineers were insulted that we were going to slow down their board and sales was convinced that within days of the board hitting the street we would have a black market in chips to speed up the $699 boards and turn them into $3,999 ones. My own marketing department was convinced that the same industry magazines, which we had managed so well, would turn on us when they saw that the boards were physically identical.
Yet I believed that this was the only alternative to slowly going out of business. (While our engineering department was close to the customer, seven of those eight products they were going to ship to those customers weren't going to see the light of day.) Now it was up to Marketing is to take the technology as delivered by Engineering and shape it to the needs of the customers and market. By creating these new families of products we could provide real value to our color desktop publishing customers by giving them performance at a price they couldn't get anywhere else.
A Big Idea – Marketing Adds Value. This notion of Marketing taking what Engineering builds as a starting point, not an end point, is the difference between just being a marcom department and a value-added Marketing department. If all you're doing is shipping and launching the product as spec'd by Engineering, you're not adding value. The job of Marketing is to help Engineering figure out how to deliver product(s) that customers need and want. It starts with a deep understanding of what customers need (and making sure Engineering is getting continuous customer feedback and interaction.) We did that when we surveyed our customers. Next, we had a good understanding of the capabilities of the product that Engineering was building. And in this very unique case, we figured out how to maximize revenue and profit by branding and product line extensions.
We would use this same idea 10 years later at E.piphany.
Relentless Execution
If we were right, this line extension and branding strategy would allow us to catch up to our competitors and overtake them.
Luckily marketing had built a reservoir of credibility with our peers and CEO. After the VP of Engineering described the alternatives (no new products for a year), desperation became the mother of innovation and we launched our new family of nine new graphics boards. As far as manufacturing was concerned, they were the identical graphics board. As customers saw them, they were a new family of products aimed directly at the color desktop publishing market with astonishing performance and a low-cost entry price.
The results spoke for themselves: Not one black-market board ever appeared, and the press was satisfied with our "customer value and product family" explanation. Our new graphics boards became the market leader of the industry. In three and a half years SuperMac's market share went from 11% to 68%, as we went from bankruptcy to $150 million in sales.
Years later, I was having coffee with the VP of Sales and Marketing from one our competitors and he said, "We would have beat you guys, but we just couldn't keep up with the tidal wave of products coming from your engineering department. They came up with exactly the right products at the right price." I took a long sip of coffee as I thought of all the things I could say. Instead I smiled, nodded and said, "Yep, it was amazing, they just kept pulling rabbits out of the hat."
What did I learn so far?
- At times, what Engineering delivers is the raw material.
- Marketings job is to take engineering products and use them to maximize revenue and profit.
- In an existing or resegmented market, this may include branding and product line extensions.
- This requires deep customer and competitive knowledge.
- In most markets, "first mover advantage" is illusorily; fast followers often win.

How To Test Your Hearing
It is important to take care of your hearing and to be aware of any slight changes in your quality of hearing as this may be an early warning sign for potential hearing problems. This page allows you to view common questions, along with suggestions about how to check your hearing. If you have any concerns about your hearing it is important that you see a hearing professional for further advice.
Hearing aids reduce the effects of hearing loss
It is a common myth that hearing aids can fully restore hearing. While hearing aids can be a great help to improve lost hearing, they cannot restore all hearing that has been lost. There are two types of hearing aids; analogue and digital.
- Analogue hearing aids simply amplify all sounds, this can cause problems with background noise for the wearer as this can create too much noise.
- Digital hearing aids are more sophisticated in that they can help to reduce the interference caused by background noise, however, this is still not completely cut out.
What are the causes for hearing loss?
Hearing loss can be caused by a number of factors, including, old age, infection, wax build up and hereditary diseases. There is no one single cause, but you can work to try to prevent hearing loss, by reducing your exposure to loud noises, remove wax and foreign bodies and obtaining treatment for infections as soon as possible.
What is a cochlear implant?
A cochlear implant is used for individuals with profound hearing loss who will not benefit from the use of hearing aids. The device is consists of two parts; the internal part and the external part. The internal part of the implant is surgically implanted in the bone behind the ear, with electrodes inserted into the cochlea part of the inner ear. The electrodes convert the signals into electric impulses.
The external section consists of a microphone and speech processor which convert sound into an electrical signal that is sent to the electrodes in the inner ear. These then stimulate the auditory nerve sending a signal to the brain, where it is perceived as sound.
How do I know if I have a hearing loss?
If you suspect you may have some degree of hearing loss, you should take this online test. While this test may help you, if you have any concerns you should see a hearing professional for further advice.

Upon completing culinary studies and working with Ferran Adrià at El Bulli, Andoni Luis Aduriz embarked on his solo career with the Mugaritz project. Launched in 1998, since 2006 the restaurant has two Michelin stars to its name. Mugaritz is located in a unique natural setting that offers a blank canvas for creation, in a space surrounded by tradition and local produce. The success of Mugaritz (it has made the top 10 of The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards list for over ten years now) encouraged the chef to open a new place, TOPA Sukaldería, this time in the very heart of the Gros quarter in San Sebastián. In this way Aduriz brings the rigorous culinary research of Mugaritz to the historic center, in a more casual and urban atmosphere. The design project features surfaces manufactured by Cosentino, including ultracompact Dekton slabs or the Eco Line series of Silestone, in tune with other recycled elements used in the space.

TXJS 2011 A6 – Brendan Eich – Ecma TC39: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I spoke at TXJS, a really excellent regional JS conference, in June. Thanks to @SlexAxton, rmurphey, and everyone else involved. My talk was concerned with the good, bad, and ugly of Ecma TC39 (and I mean those words in the best possible way!), mixing philosophy with historical events from the last 14 years.
After describing the standards process and its history in Ecma, I presented the good stuff that's going into ES6 (I gave a remixed version of this part of the talk at an SFTechTalk hosted by Twitter last month — thanks to @valueof and @chanian for hosting). As a bonus, I closed with a paren-free update, whose punchline slide is included at the bottom.
I am not Tuco.
We don't smoke, but the rest is pretty much right.
Here I praised Jan van den Beld, former S-G, Ecma — a raconteur and polymath, for his stewardship of Ecma.
Yes, Netscape picked ECMA (now Ecma, pay attention ;-)) as standards body to which to submit JS mainly to give Microsoft grief, since ECMA had bravely standardized some part of the Windows API. But Jan and the entire TC39 TG1 group played fair on ES1, the first ECMA-262 Edition. Microsoft was so happy they standardized early C# and CLI metadata specs at Ecma.
Not Bruce Campbell, so not me. That means I'm the Bad.
Here is something that the Google leak about Dart (née Dash) telegraphs: many Googlers, especially V8 principals, do not like JS and don't believe it can evolve "in time" (whatever that might mean — and Google of course influences JS's evolution directly, so they can put a finger on the scale here).
They're wrong, and I'm glad that at least some of the folks at Google working in TC39 actually believe in JS — specifically its ability to evolve soon enough and well enough to enable both more predictable performance and programming in the large.
There's a better-is-better bias among Googlers, but the Web is a brutal, shortest-path, Worse-is-Better evolving system.
I've spent the last 16 years betting on the Web. Evolving systems can face collapses, die-offs, exigent circumstances. I don't see JS under imminent threat of death due to such factors, though. Ironic that Google would put a death mark on it.
Here I propose that Crock is Plato and I am Aristotle, and that while we need to "keep it real", we must also hew to high ideals.
The ideas I cite here, represented by the Hermenuetic Circle, definitely apply to TC39's understanding of the text of ECMA-262, as well as various canonical texts in Computer Science. The committee works best when it spirals in on a solid design, avoiding local and premature optimizations and pessimizations.
Every one of these "Bad Parts" has been on parade in TC39 in recent years, including 2011. I've been tempted by the second one, horse-trading, so I'm not innocent (no one is).
The "Scenario Solving" one is particularly subtle in that the Scenario proposed to be solved is quite often a very real developer problem. But a complex, ad-hoc solution to it, especially when rushed, too often is unsound. We would do better to take the Scheme lesson to heart, and develop sound and valid orthogonal primitives. Higher-level libraries built on them can be standardized post hoc.
These meta-discussions are sometimes quite funny in light of the vendor whose representative is making them. I note that C# can now be written to look like JS. Why shouldn't any particular extension to C# be at least considered (not rubber-stamped of course) for JS standardization?
These slides provide a glimpse of ES6, still under construction but already full of good stuff.
The Harmony Goals are not just lofty abstractions.
I hope the way JS is developed and standardized, as much in the open as the existing standards process permits, and with developer feedback via es-discuss, twitter, and the various conference talks, helps. If not, we may as well wait for some single-source solution to descend from the mountain. And then hold our breaths waiting for Firefox, IE and Safari to implement!
While paren-free in all likelihood won't make ES6, the
for-of loop will, and comprehensions and generator expressions in ES6 will be paren-free. Yay!

I read somewhere that social media is a must sales tool for business. Is it so?
Yes it is, According to Alexa Traffic rank Facebook is the second most visited website after Google. So if any comes after search engine is the social media, For a business its inevitable to survive by avoiding second biggest source of traffic and sales.
Yes , Social media is one of the best tool for sales. Not only Facebook but also there are other social media sites which are used as a good tool for your business. A number of social media sites may be used as a tool for your business like Facebook, Twitter, linkedin, printrest, etc.
Yes, I find social media just plain necessary. The increase in traffic is noticeable and with that increase in traffic, I got some clients out of it as well.
Of course, I find link building to be a stronger tool.
Yes it is, Social media is most helpful tool for sales. Facebook is just one social site but remaining social sites like Twitter, Linkedin, Flickr, Pinterest, Delicious and StumbleUpon are also helpful tool for sales.
Social media is great tool for building brand, increasing traffic and sales. Search engines also integrating social signal into their ranking algorithm.
Guys, calm down… Facebook is right behind Google when it comes to traffic but does that really mean that it is an effective channel for every type of business to generate sales?
I think most of us conclude too early when it comes to social media. We can't wait to set up a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. (quoted from a user above. Really? Set up and manage a presence on all of these at the same time? Go try it! LOL) without considering about the time we have, the purpose of our presence and the dynamics of the community. Some of us are even getting a Facebook page and Twitter profile simply because somebody else has them.
Here's the fact, at least from my experience working with small businesses on marketing. When it comes to sales, social media can be essential for certain businesses and it can become a time sink for many other businesses. I'm not saying that social media is worthless, they could serve other purposes such as building a community around your business or for customer service (in fact, you should also test to find out which platform is best for these purposes) but when it comes to sales, they key is to test and this is extremely important especially when you don't have a lot of resources, both time and money, to spend on marketing.
Identify a goal on your website and schedule a fixed amount of time to be spent on every social media platform. From there, use tools such as Google Analytics to track goal completions of visitors coming from these social media sites. This way, you can find out the quality of visitors. Certain social media sites like StumbleUpon can be great traffic drivers but the quality of visitors sucks.
So, before saying social media is the best thing ever next time, shall we ask for a context from the thread starter so that we can all start to offer better replies?
Of course, discussions are always welcomed. Feel free to fire my rant too.
It could also considered as one of the best options for sales, as the business brands are well recognized in social media's around the globe. This would be a required option in a checklist when you are about to step in with sales. Besides, we do have the other major ad campaigns that can pull in more views at least to a percent high than the former one.
Rather, if there are more responses that goes for social media, could any one refer a few other social networks apart from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google Plus (even this one of the account/services of the search engine giant), Quora (a social platform)?
Definitely Social media is a must tool for sales.Apart from Google,Facebook and other social media have more visitors and traffic in a day.So it should help to promote and sell your product to people.
Indeed now a day social media is the powerful tool to promote your business online and helping for grabbing high traffic for web world.You can promote you business with some popular site like Facebook.com,Pinterest.com,Twitter.com etc. to gain a profit through online.
I haven't seen any actual evidence that social media is an effective tool for sales, particularly for a small business. CRM and support, perhaps. But not marketing. If anyone thinks otherwise, I'd love to see some proof.
I'd have to say yes to the question. Social Media is definitely a must tool for sales. If you're doing it right, it can be a very effective.
Yep, yes it is. If you invest some time and effort in it you can generate a serious amount of sales from it. Not to mention the quality feedback you will be getting.
Fully agree with Wayne. Many people still have the misconception that social media directly drives sales, and is a must-use platform to obtain more customers. This clearly isn't that case if you look at statistics (http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2270974/Email-Beats-Search-Social-as-Largest-Driver-of-Conversions-for-Ecommerce-Study) - email marketing and search engine still remains the top sources for sales.
That being said, it doesn't mean social media isn't useful for business at all. People get onto social media to relax, have fun and interact with their friends, not to bombarded with promotional messages. What a business can do in social media is to realise this and be fun and entertaining similarly. By posting interesting content and generating discussions, it can help to engage your followers and portray a "fun" side to your business. This will certainly help in keeping your followers loyal to you and hopefully driving repeated sales from them.
Ultimately, social media should be seen as a tool to encourage brand loyalty, rather than a direct driver of sales.
Agree, SM isn't a way to get direct sales. But it's a must anyway, because brand loyalty will lead you to sales. It's a way to engage your potential customer.
Yes, you can't ignore social media marketing today, both for branding and traffic. You can select two or more platforms at first based on your industry.
Agreed with everyone, As everyone knows that so many people are on Social sites they access their account everyday. In such huge flow of visitors we just have to put our site between, Automatically we will get some of that flow on our site, which results in Increase in our product sales.

My raid on Sunday night gave me pause for thought.
A couple of weeks ago I talked about a few aspects to help healing and raid leading at once. Last night I realised that, of those, communication is vital. Why? Because I think healers are fragile. Even that they can be a danger to themselves. And because last night my raid wouldn't have worked so well without good communication. Let me put you in the picture.
You're a healer raid leader about to lead a progresion 10 man. Your group's bouncing with energy as the run starts. You've all got a burning desire to see Putricide go down as you've been carrying a grudge against him for a while. He's public enemy #1 for your group tonight, followed by a vote on Princes or Sindragosa. Holy smokes, things are gonna go well.
Then half the group is hit by disconnection issues as the EU login servers go down.
Two hours later your group is back online, now a bit bedraggled and a whole lot more tired. It's midnight already for some. You hit Putricide and he goes down in a few attempts. So far so good. It's late now but the group wants to go to Princes. This is what crosses your mind:
- We've downed Princes before. It was messy but we can do it again, and the practice won't kill us. That often. I hope.
- We have someone different on kinetic bomb bouncing this time. He's going to need time to learn it.
- It's midnight, for cripes sake. The elements alone know what time it is for our Herd members in Finland. We don't have many tries in us.
You're now in my shoes as of about midnight on Sunday. The outcome was cheery; we got the Princes down in four attempts. But it was messy from 50ish-0%. The successful attempt saw half the raid dead by the end – both myself and the other shaman healer died twice. Our discy priest heroically kept the rest up for 5%. Both shamans had been helping with kinetic bomb bouncing.
From my leader viewpoint communication was crucial. For one thing, there's a lot going on in that fight and I admit I fail at watching everything.
It's important to know which Prince is empowered at any time because the entire raid's tactics change depending which it is, as does the healing output. But watching the empowerment changes is something I just can't do yet. So I simply have one person dedicated to calling which Prince is empowered when it changes.
It's also essential to have information in order to make good decisions, right? Right, but it's more important for healer raid leaders. Each role is inclined towards taking risks, perhaps several times during each fight. Double the risk-inclination means double the chance we'll make the wrong call; things go wrong or we overburden ourselves, probably wiping the raid.
So I'm realistic – i can't do everything. Keeping track of boss health is another task I 'outsource' to others. As a healer I don't have time to watch health meters other than those on Grid, but as a raid leader I need to know boss health. For example, the fight was a mess by the time Princes hit 23% health. But I knew we were close, and that was the deciding factor in the split second decision to urge the group to hang in there and pop cooldowns rather than to call a wipe.
Both of the above examples – knowing when we're at health-wise in a fight and which tactical stage we're at also means I have valuable information allowing me to make cooldown judgements. Not my cooldowns – I'm talking about calling Divine Guardian from our paladin tank or cycling the raid's mana regen abilities when and for whom they're needed.
The most dangerous risk of all on Sunday, though, was one a healer-raid leader was in the best position to make. On later attempts I had myself and another healer helping our warlock on bouncing kinetic bombs: I knew we could both multitask. Controversial decision? Yes. Bad practice? No.
It wasn't because I thought our warlock couldn't learn it by himself – far from it. It was because we had a lack of time, the group was tired and wanted victory in the face of server instability. Not only that, I knew the healers involved could do it without healing suffering too much. It benefited us too: we got a perspective on another aspect of the fight and it probably improved our spacial awareness as were constantly looking round. I admit, it was also really fun in an already adrenaline-fuelled fight.
Later on when it got hectic and our DK died? Not a problem. Rather than completely loose a resource and have a player feel useless, I asked him to watch out for falling bombs and tell me where they were.
So there we go, folks. I say that healers are fragile and inclined to risk: there is a lot resting on us in a raid. Add leading on top of that and it can be a recipe for disaster. But I say organising information 'feeds' to and from your team will put you in control of the situation and your raid one step closer to settling scores in Icecrown.
What do you think? Do you agree with my analysis of healers' potential towards fragility and danger or do you prefer safe-rather-than-sorry? Would you have made any of those decisions differently to me? Do you know which types of information you need more of, or are you still working it out?

It's a rocky road, trying to get your art out there. Personally, I've submitted hundreds of packets to several types of galleries over the years. A few I've found success with, and the rest said "no" or "not at this time".
One must be persistent in their practice. Persistent and focused… while recognising there are certain bounds that define professionalism and politeness.
I know that many people have a romantic fantasy about artists and "genius". They feel that a genius should be allowed a certain amount of insanity in their daily behaviour. OK, there are genius artists (and other types of geniuses) out there who are eccentric, who behave differently than many people, and who walk their own path. However, in general, most professionals in the arts are just that… professional. They work. They work hard. They maintain their contacts, their networks, and make sure to not harass nor neglect galleries, writers, curators, other artists, suppliers… they are on time, they follow through with promises, they are polite yet say what they mean (and mean what they say!)
I am not claiming to be perfect. No, I have some work to do, but life is always like that: a work in progress.
I am pushing myself forward to increase my own professionalism, especially as I will soon be curating the art for a new gallery space. Yes, the artist will become curator. I have many artist friends, and I know that I cannot show everyone's work. I am crafting the artistic vision for the space, and to express a clear vision, one must be able to edit. I will show my own work there from time to time, but I really want to put on fantastic shows of other's work. The work shown will fit into themes (any artists reading this right now, I'll announce themes and calls to entry all over the place, you won't miss out!) and sometimes there will be solo exhibits too.
It's an exciting venture; and I want to get off on the right foot with this. I am stretching my boundaries, building new comfort-zones, and will soon be meeting new people and responding promptly and professionally to them. I know that I won't always be met with a similar response… but I'll be prepared.

The Lost lake mountain bike trail is one of the top mountain bike trails in Vail Colorado. It is quite a long loop depending on how many "add ons" you do. It is a 3-4 hour 25 mile ride. So bring food and water. You start at the Antlers at Vail condominiums and conference center. Head up the road, across the pedestrian bridge and take a left down the bike path for about a 1/4 of a mile. Take a right up Red Sandstone road and continue up a couple of switch backs until you get to the rock/gravel road of Red Sandstone going to Piney lake. You then travel up this road about 3 miles? until you get to a fork. Take the right fork to Lost Lake. Continue for another 30 minutes or more until you get to Lost lake. If you hit any forks, just stay on the most traveled path. If you get off, virtually all the roads end up at the hiking trail head to Lost Lake anyhow. From here on it is single track around the lake and back down to a parking lot off of Red Sandstone. You might be 2-3 hours into your ride at this point. Take a left on Red Sandstone but only go a block before taking a right onto another forest service road. You are now heading south back to Vail on top of a big ridge. When you top out at a camp site, take a left off the main road to a faint double track. Follow the trail/road down until you pick up a crazy single track called Buffehr creek. You'll be taking a number of switch backs before intersecting the Vail North Trail on your left. Follow this back for even more vertical downhill until you exit onto Red Sandstone road again near Vail village.

Italian Vegetable Soup with Gnocchi
Just come back home from a hard day at work, slogged yourself home in that pouring April rain, or just looking for something quick but tasty to make on a Saturday for you and the kids? Well, I can guarantee one thing about this soup, whether you came home soaked like a poodle and need a bit of warmth and comfort or you were out in the garden with the kids and want something fast and nourishing served up, this Vegetable Soup with Gnocchi will satisfy whatever needs you want satisfying.
For those visiting my blog for the first time: Please excuse the quality of the photos you see here. Last weekend my camera got stolen and I have been a bit handicapped ever since. I have been trying to take the pictures with my HandyCam which explains the crappiness of the photos.
For my regular readers: I know I am whining on about it! You will be glad to hear, that it almost has an end. I have found a new camera! I just have to order it (and pay for it). So, you just have to put up with the whining for a few more days ;-)!
200g Fresh or ready made Gnocchi
olive oil
1 liter Vegetable stock - either pre-prepared or self made (Vaishali of Happy Burp has an easy recipe for this).
2 tablespoons of fresh basil chopped
2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
1 tablespoons tomato purée
500g mixed vegetables:
zucchini, green beans, onions, broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots - cut these in either slices or bite sized pieces
Parmesan cheese - grated
salt & pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the chopped garlic and gently sauté until soft. Add the tomato purée and cook for another 1- 2 minutes. Throw in all the vegetables and allow to cook for 4-5 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable stock and simmer for another 5 minutes.
In the meantime boil enough water for the gnocchi and cook the gnocchi for 2 minutes.
In the soup add salt and pepper to taste. Pour some soup in a soup plate. Place some gnocchi into the soup sprinkle with basil and grated parmesan.
My tips: Cook the gnocchi separately and not in the soup. Often one has a bit of leftovers, cooking the gnocchi in the soup makes it mushy for the next round.
If you steam the vegetables for 2 minutes prior to adding it in the soup and then running these under cold water, they will retain their bright colors. Add the steamed vegetables to the soup after you have added the stock to the tomato purée mixture.
There is a burst of tastes when you spoon this soup into your mouth. The crunchy vegetables, the cheesy parmesan and the soft gnocchi, not to mention the herby basil and the gorgeous garlic. Delightful!
Soeren enjoys his pinochhi every time. They are the first to disappear from the plate. Most of the time it is only the bell peppers that remain otherwise the soup is a great hit for him.
Tom too is impressed by the variety of tastes the soup offers. With the gnocchi it is a filling meal and there is really no need for bread as a condiment. The only thing he did not like was the fact that I made a small portion, as there was no soup leftover - only some gnocchi!
This is also my entry for Cate's ARF/5-A-Day Tuesday.
PS. I look forward to welcoming you to My Monthly Mingle next month. Hope you can make it.

Remember when I was on that huge organizing kick back in January, even did an entire week of posts on getting a fresh start ? I even managed to get somewhat organized when it came to filing paperwork, but I'm sorry to report, again the paper is totally and completely out of control around here.

King Arthur is not for me.
(pages 62-67)

King Arthur is not for me.

That's kind of funny! I wonder if it was for "Camelot" but somehow snuck into this book! Also, your blog kind of makes me want to write random things on sticky notes and insert them into random pages of a book!ReplyDelete
Considering the book maybe the writer of he note is stating that she doesn't need a knight in shining armor to save her,to take care of her. I appreciate your blog,it lays make me mile.ReplyDelete
Considering the subject of the book maybe writer is saying that she doesn't need a knight in shining armor to save her,take care of her.
I appreciate your log,always makes me mile.
Thank you.
And it makes me SMILE, sheesh!ReplyDelete
Wow. I actually read this book some time back. I don't remember even one reference to King Arthur, but maybe the association to the reader was much more obscure and personal.ReplyDelete

With Fall/Winter weather fast approaching, now is the time to tackle the simple maintenance tasks that keep your Subaru in top running condition.
Timely maintenance does more than keep your Subaru running smoothly. It can help increase your car's trade-in value, improve its mileage, and save you time and costly repairs down the road.
- Belts. With the engine off, check your car's belts for cracks and missing pieces. To check for proper tightness, press down on the belt with your thumb. If the belt gives more than half an inch, it needs tightening.
- Hoses. When the car is cold, feel your car's hoses for bulges, cracks, soft spots or brittleness. With the engine running, look for (but don't touch) bulges or leaks. If you detect any, have the hose replaced. Note: Avoid replacing air conditioning hoses yourself. Their pressurized gases can cause serious injury.
- Coolant. Check the level of coolant in your radiator by looking at the coolant overflow tank. Maintaining a 50/50 mix of antifreeze will keep your engine cool in hot weather and prevent damage when temperatures fall as low as 40 below zero. Note: Do not remove the radiator cap until the engine is turned off and has cooled down.
- Oil. Depending on the driving conditions your Subaru is subjected to, change your oil and filter as recommended in your Owner's Manual. Also, use the recommended oil grade.
- Power Steering Fluid. To check, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert it again. Pull it out again and check the level. If it is below the HOT range, add the recommended steering fluid up to the upper level mark. Note: If the fluid level is extremely low or fluid has been replaced, contact your Subaru dealer.
- Brake Fluid. Check the fluid level on the outside of the tank using the lines on the reservoir as a guide. If the level is below MIN, add brake fluid from a sealed container to bring it up to MAX. You'll notice a significant drop in fluid levels when there's a leak. Note: Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air. Any absorbed moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking performance. If your brake fluid tank requires frequent refilling, there may be a leak. Contact your Subaru dealer immediately.
- Air Filter. Again, depending on the condition of the roads traveled by your Subaru, routinely check your air filter for accumulated debris.
- Battery. Check your battery terminals regularly, removing any corrosion with a toothbrush and a mix of baking soda and water.
- Tires. Check your tire pressure (with tires cold) once a month or more. Keep tires inflated to manufacturer's recommendations, which can be found on the driver's side door frame placard and in the owner's manual.
- Wipers, Washers, Horn And Lights. Finally, be sure to check the operation of your car's wipers, windshield washers, horn and lights. Tip: Isopropyl alcohol makes wiper blade clean-up a snap!

When Emily Dickinson died in 1886, she was unknown outside the circle of her family and friends. After her death, her sister Lavinia found the cache of nearly 1,800 poems and sought an editor who could decipher the confusing manuscripts and put them into publishable form. Though the poet never met Mabel Loomis Todd face-to-face, their correspondence afforded Todd the insight she would later need as she and her daughter Millicent Todd Bingham shaped Dickinson's literary legacy.
For author Julie Dobrow, the story of Mabel's and Millicent's lives and their integral role in editing and publicizing Emily Dickinson's poems, and shaping the myth of the so-called Belle of Amherst, has been waiting in the archives. Now, in After Emily: Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America's Greatest Poet, the full story behind Mabel and Millicent's work is finally revealed.
Join us for a reading and book-signing with Julie Dobrow. After the reading, stay for refreshments and have your book signed by the author! Books will be available for purchase. This event is free and open to the public. No reservations are required.

Anaheim, CA – Jonas Hiller made 18 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Phoenix Coyotes, 2-0, in the third meeting in five days between the two clubs.
Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who have won nine straight as the host since a 5-0 loss to Vancouver on Jan. 25 in their home opener. It's the Ducks' longest home winning streak since taking 10 in a row from Feb. 17-March 26, 2008.
Corey Perry lit the lamp in the first period for Anaheim, which bounced back from consecutive 5-4 shootout losses to these Coyotes on Saturday and Monday.
"We came out and played the game we wanted to," Getzlaf said. "That was a lot better defensive effort. We shut them down. Goaltending played great and didn't allow any second chances. It was a good healthy game. Both teams had hard fought nights."
Jason LaBarbera stopped 22-of-23 shots for Phoenix.
Perry's goal at the 7:10 mark of the first period proved to be the game- winner. Getzlaf stole the puck in the neutral zone before passing to Bobby Ryan. Perry, positioned in the slot, took a pass from Ryan and beat LaBarbera.
At the 5:17 mark of the second stanza, LaBarbera stopped Andrew Cogliano on a penalty shot to keep it a 1-0 game.
"We got a solid game from him," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "He stopped a penalty shot and another breakaway. He gave us a chance to win and we just needed a little more push on the offensive side."
Getzlaf added an empty-net goal late in the third period. Hiller made nine saves in the final frame.
Game Notes
Phoenix had won three straight against Anaheim ... It was the 16th career shutout for Hiller ... The Ducks started a three-game homestand on Wednesday ... Anaheim forward Kyle Palmieri (upper body) and defenseman Bryan Allen (flu-like symptoms) missed Wednesday's game .. Anaheim's 16-3-3 record (35 points) equals the club's best-ever mark through 22 games (15-2-5 for 35 points in 2006-07).

On the Jim Henson series Fraggle Rock, the hardworking Doozers were the foils to the always playful Fraggles. Now the Doozers are headed back to television, where they and their tiny construction hats will be the stars.
The Jim Henson Company has greenlit production on a new Doozers TV show, based on the original Fraggle Rock characters. The press release doesn't reveal many details, but Bleeding Cool notes that when the series was first discussed way back in 2009, it was going to follow a crew of newbie Doozer engineers as they learn about teamwork, cooperation, technology, and eco-consciousness. Well, in Fraggle Rock, Doozer tools were powered by hydroelectricity, so it makes sense that these newer Fraggles would use green tech as well.
I was hoping that these Doozers might mean we'd get a little Henson-style puppeting, but the Jim Henson Company is partnering with DHX Media, and the production is happening at DHX Media's CGI animation studio. That follows from the 2009 plan for a Doozer's television series. At least, though, we can take comfort in the idea that children will be getting some engineering protagonists on TV, characters who love nothing more than to build.

This figure shows the location of CHIMRA on the turret of NASA's Curiosity rover, together with a cutaway view of the device. The CHIMRA, short for Collection and Handling for In-situ Martian Rock Analysis, processes samples from the rover's scoop or drill and delivers them to science instruments.
The green highlighted surface shows the location of the 150-micrometer sieve through which samples are passed (a human hair is about 100 micrometers, or microns, thick on average). In addition, the pink line shows the path from the drill to the "portion box" used to deliver the sieved particles to the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) and Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instruments.
JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the rover.

TV show description:
The original Dallas TV series ran for 357 episodes on CBS and ended in 1991 but there's still plenty of drama left at SouthFork. In 2012 we find that JR, Bobby and Sue Ellen Ewing have returned with new secrets, schemes and betrayals. They're joined by the next generation of Ewings, who take ambition and deception to a wicked new level.
John Ross Ewing III (Josh Henderson) is the ambitious son of JR and Sue Ellen Ewing. A chip off the old block, John Ross is determined to strike it rich in the oil industry and prove himself capable of stepping into his father's shoes. Growing up, John Ross was enticed by promises that the Ewing Oil Empire would one day be his. With his parents feuding and using him to manipulate each other, John Ross lacked a stable childhood and divided his formative years between Dallas, Europe and boarding school. Even though he enjoyed the same privileges of growing up a Ewing as his cousin Christopher, he exploited his wealth and family's power to get ahead with little personal effort, giving him a reputation of being a spoiled rich kid. John Ross never felt the love and emotional support he longed to receive from his parents growing up, so he turned to his compassionate and patient friend Elena who was always seeing the best in him. Now as an adult with a lot to prove, John Ross is determined to impress his father, despite their lack of a relationship, and he has his eyes set on SouthFork and the girl he's loved since childhood, Elena.
After keeping off the radar in a nursing home for a few years, JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) returns with a new plan to take back what is rightfully his and restore himself to power as the true heir to SouthFork — even if that means stepping over his scheming son. JR's years of feuding with Sue Ellen made his relationship with John Ross virtually nonexistent, always using him as a tool to get back at his mother. JR knows the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, and will enlist the help of John Ross to get SouthFork back to the rightful side of the Ewing family: His. After years of fighting over power and oil, JR's relationship with Bobby is strained, despite Bobby's best efforts to put their past behind them. JR still has oil in his blood and on his brain, and he will stop at nothing to take back power.
Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) is a true survivor and, as the former wife of JR, she's seen it all. After leading successful fundraising campaigns, taking on causes and making connections with influential Texans, her success has led her to a possible run for governor. Campaign backers already lining up to support her. Despite this success however, Sue Ellen harbors deep regret for her mistakes as a mother raising John Ross and will do anything to make things right for him. With her newfound power and influence, Sue Ellen offers herself as an ally to her son in his quest to find oil, making one last effort to try to right the wrongs of her past.
As the cook's daughter, Elena Ramos (Jordana Brewster) grew up on SouthFork ranch with John Ross and Christopher Ewing. Elena moved to Dallas from Mexico with her parents when she was eight years old, where her mother Carmen was the beloved cook to the Ewing family. Growing up, Elana and the boys were very close and while she never played favorites, it was always Christopher who secretly had her heart. Despite John Ross' rebellious ways, Elena always saw the good in him and supported him, which led to John Ross secretly caring for her. Christopher won her heart though when they began dating in graduate school and eventually became engaged. When a misunderstanding led to calling off their wedding, Elena was heartbroken and fled to Mexico where John Ross found her and confessed his love. Elena had dreams of her own to make it big in the oil industry, so armed with her masters degree in energy resources and a new Ewing business partner, she's returned to Dallas to strike it big.
Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) is the compassionate younger brother of JR Ewing. The current proprietor of SouthFork, Bobby is determined to protect the promise he made to his late mother Miss Ellie: to not let anyone drill for oil on SouthFork. His nephew John Ross is bent on finding oil in places he shouldn't so the promise proves more difficult to keep than he'd thought. Bobby is thrilled to have his son Christopher back at SouthFork with his new fiance Rebecca. He wants to ensure that Christopher and John Ross's relationship isn't as tumultuous as Bobby and JR's.
Ann Ewing (Brenda Strong) is the third wife of Bobby Ewing and is his rock. Introduced by mutual friend Sue Ellen, Bobby was instantly struck by Ann's quiet strength and beauty. A consummate horse cutter, she fell in love with SouthFork Ranch. They quickly fell in love and married, and the pair settled in to SouthFork and began making it their own. A woman who can work a gun and ride a stallion, Ann fits right into the Ewing lineup of beautiful women who know their way around a ranch. Ann's first marriage to big-time Texas transportation executive Harris Ryland, a man who's as sly as he is rich, continues to haunt Ann in her new life. But despite her past, she is a supportive wife to Bobby and has assumed her role as the new matriarch of SouthFork with dignity and grace.
Christopher Ewing (Jesse Metcalfe) is the adopted son of Bobby Ewing and his first wife, Pam. Ever since childhood, Christopher was keenly aware that he was adopted, and his cousin John Ross was always eager to remind him that he wasn't a "real Ewing." Growing up, his was the softer temperament to that of John Ross, who frequently used Christopher as a scapegoat for his shenanigans. Together with Elena, the cousins were best friends during their formative years, before John Ross left for Europe. Christopher worked hard and aimed to make the Ewing name great again, all while harboring insecurities about his place in the family. At grad school, Christopher later fell deeply in love with Elena and proposed to her. But when Elena broke off their engagement on the day of their wedding, a heartbroken Christopher fled to Asia to research alternative energies. While overseas, he fell in love with the beautiful Rebecca Sutter who was traveling after completing her law degree. The pair were engaged and returned to SouthFork to plan their wedding, with Christopher determined to make a name for himself in the alternative fuel industry without the financial favors of his father.
Beautiful and intelligent Rebecca Sutter (Julie Gonzalo) and Christopher Ewing met on a train in Asia, just days after he arrived overseas, heartbroken. Despite his traumatic break up, Christopher was intrigued by the friendly American girl who was traveling Asia after completing law school. Rebecca is a self made woman, having lost her parents at a young age in a car accident, leaving her to grow up alone with her brother Tommy. She worked hard to put herself through law school with Tommy's support. Meeting Christopher was the greatest thing to happen in her life, and for the first time in a long time, she feels truly safe and ready to lean on someone. Soon after she arrives at SouthFork, she quickly befriends Elena in the hopes of learning more about Christopher and finding her own place at SouthFork as the new Mrs. Ewing.
Episode #40 — Endgame
Christopher races to find Elena, Bobby is double-crossed by the cartel. No longer able to sit by, John Ross puts his own life on the line to attempt a rescue and the Ewings and the Rylands finally force the cartel to pay the piper as some lives are saved and others are lost.
First aired: September 22, 2014

Spy Found Dead in Duffel Bag Was 'Probably' Killed Unlawfully, Says Coroner, Also: Everyone
A coroner has found that a British spy whose naked corpse was found locked inside a duffle bag, itself inside his bathtub, was "likely" killed in a criminal act.
Thanks in large part to the British intelligence service's hamfisted handling of the case in its early days, the specifics as to how, why, or by whom will likely never be known.
According to Dr. Fiona Wilcox, the coroner who presided over the inquest to determine the manner of death (she did not herself perform the autopsy — three pathologists did), Gareth Williams, the 31-year-old was likely placed inside the bag alive, then killed either by suffocation or poisoning in a "criminally mediated act."
Her verdict came 21 months after the police inquiry began, in August of 2010, when Williams' remains were found inside his London apartment.
Williams, a codebreaker and math prodigy, was connected to the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, at the time of his death. Williams' family maintains that the nature of his work was somehow connected to his death, a claim denied by British intelligence agencies and police, who prefer instead to lay the blame on crazy sex games.
Dr. Wilcox stated that it remained a "legitimate line of inquiry" whether MI6 or another secret agency played a hand in the death. She also criticized MI6 for what many have labeled as a suspicious level of mismanagement in the early days of the case.
Most notably: Williams' MI6 manager waited a week before reporting him missing from work, because, he says, he thought Williams may perhaps have been off on a secret assignment, the details of which he was unaware.
By the time pathologists were able to examine the body, it had decomposed so thoroughly that searches for decisive forensic clues proved a wash.
The head of MI6 has since apologized to Williams' family for the delay.
Prior to the coroner's announcement, police implied Williams' death may have been the result of a sexual game gone too far, regaling the court with tales of his apparent interest in sadomasochism and possible predilection for transvestitism.
Williams' apartment reportedly contained a £20,000 collection of untouched women's clothing and shoes, which friends maintain he kept on hand as gifts.
One of the officers who discovered Williams' body noticed a woman's wig hanging from the corner of a kitchen chair in what was otherwise described as an "extremely tidy" apartment.
Cops also found a home-made video on one of Williams' iPhones that showed him dancing for the camera wearing only black leather boots. Dr. Wilcox admitted that the video did demonstrate an apparent "sexual interest in ladies' footwear, but," she added, "there I suspect he is not alone."
Williams' other cellular phone appeared to have been restored to factory settings and laid out on his kitchen table just before his death. That's probably the most suspicious detail of all, because who wants to lose all their texts?
For full details of the case, the clusterfuck nature of which is just unbelievable in scope—an "expert on confined spaces" recently had to convince the court that it is impossible to lock oneself in a duffel bag—check out the BBC's coverage.

1. Be prolific: If you are going to correspond it is a good idea to write to as many women as possible. By writing to a lot of women you greatly increase your chances of success! The more attractive a woman, the more letters she will receive, so when writing to our ladies it is especially important to write to as many as possible to ensure you meet the most compatible and interested ladies
2. Do not place too much emphasis on the woman's photo: Remember this is just one snapshot that she sent in to us. Take out your driver's license and look at your photo. Is that really representative of how you look today? The point is, that the woman in the photo may look quite different in real life, so don't be too easily discouraged from writing to some of the women whose photos may not look perfect. Time and again, we are told the ladies our clients meet were far more attractive in person than even in the photos.
3. Read the lady's profile information. This information is there for a reason, you will be wasting your time as well as the lady's by responding to a woman whom you know you will not be compatible with.
4. Include photo(s): Always include a photo(s) of yourself along with your letter. You do want to put your best foot forward just as the women do. You will notice that some women take the time and trouble to go to professional photo studios to have their photos taken (you are free to do the same). Remember, you only get one chance to make a good first impression!
5. Ask questions about her: We're always amazed to see guys writing War and Peace about themselves and never asking a single question about the ladies they are writing to. We understand loneliness, of course, and how nice it is to have someone to communicate with; but to make the best impression and to build her interest in you, be sure to ask her several questions in each letter.
6. Have a Plan: Women like a man with a plan! If you are going to correspond with the women, you should have an end game in mind. Even if you are not sure when it is you are going to be able to go over and see her, if you can at least give her an idea of when you want to go (that will help). Of course, if you know when you are going to be there (maybe you signed up for the Singles Tour to her city), by all means let her know and even set up a date in advance of your arrival.
