Yeah Flynn would be a good choice for a true west coast system. I think he's a great fit with Reid and vice versa.

Some technologies are all about performance—the Moore's Law cycle of "smaller, faster, cheaper", for example. Others address business issues—the way virtualization dissolves physical barriers to server consolidation.
Security as a Service—SaaS—falls squarely in the second camp: it's a way of delivering security that's ideal for today's business practices, and tomorrow's challenges. SaaS routes all of a business's inbound and outbound email and Web traffic through a provider's network of high-performance data centers. The provider scans, tests, and then blocks, quarantines, or forwards the traffic using infrastructure, skills, and processes that few businesses could afford on their own, and does it all outside its clients' business networks. What is SaaS and why is that so good for business? Let's see:
1. SaaS is less expensive
SaaS cuts a lot of different costs. Start with capital equipment, the servers and appliances to keep malware and spam off business networks. Then add maintenance, licensing, upgrade, and replacement expenses, plus staff time for round-the-clock management and support (this is security, after all). And don't forget hidden costs like facilities, power and cooling, advanced training and competitive salaries for internet security specialists. SaaS doesn't eliminate all of the costs, but reductions are pretty dramatic.
The provider scans, tests, and then blocks, quarantines, or forwards the traffic using infrastructure, skills, and processes that few businesses could afford on their own, and does it all outside its clients' business networks.
2. SaaS is simpler
IT Security is complicated—that's part of what makes it so expensive. Putting it in the care of offsite specialists removes several burdens from the business. Financial planning is easier, because SaaS is a subscription, not a series of capital investments plus a maintenance program. And in most cases, SaaS replaces a multivendor infrastructure with just one relationship to manage. Finally, capacity planning and scalability can be managed easily by the provider, not the business.
3. SaaS is more efficient
Filtering out spam, malicious code, and out-of-compliance Web traffic consumes bandwidth, processor cycles, and storage; keeping signatures and libraries up to date chew through even more. Heuristics to block 'zero-day' attacks—new or custom malware that doesn't have a signature—take a lot of processor power away from the work those systems were purchased for. SaaS takes that work offsite and puts it on systems that were designed to do it on an industrial scale.
4. SaaS protects you better
There are a few government agencies and multinational corporations for which IT security is a core competency. But for most businesses, it's an expensive, complicated, unpleasant distraction. SaaS providers' business models are built on delivering and documenting more effective security at a lower cost, and they make the infrastructure, staff, and process investments they need to succeed. Check the metrics on a world-class SaaS provider's dashboards, reports, and service-level agreements: it's a rare business that can do better.
5. SaaS simplifies compliance
Compliance—with industry standards, government regulations, legal discovery obligations, or internal policies—is a business responsibility that can't be outsourced. But it can and should be simplified, and SaaS is an excellent way to do it. SaaS providers organize and retain logs, prepare reports, and document processes more efficiently than most businesses can, and without the burdens on internal staff. In addition, providers with a global footprint help businesses meet requirements of jurisdictions outside their home country.
6. SaaS advances internet security
Most businesses find keeping up with security a burden—no wonder they're late to adopt new technologies and practices. Data loss prevention, archiving, and encryption practices at many firms are behind the levels recommended for compliance with Payment Card Industry and other standards, and legal e-Discovery obligations. For SaaS providers, new regulations are opportunities to introduce new services, so they offer businesses a cost-effective way to keep up.
7. SaaS improves coverage
Premise-based internet security is exactly what it says. Business with multiple premises—regional or country branch offices, sales offices, and so on—need to work hard to maintain internet security and compliance consistently across them all. And the de facto "premises" of remote access via smartphones or over third-party networks are difficult to monitor and hard to control. SaaS protects traffic in both directions for all premises and devices, ensuring consistency.
8. SaaS unlocks business value
SaaS applies world-class infrastructure, skills, and processes to deliver internet security and performance service levels most businesses can't afford on their own while keeping risks, junk, and excess traffic off business networks. But its greatest value is everything businesses can do once they get those resources back.
Look for a SaaS provider who offers the transparency to let you evaluate your protection, and the accountability to stand behind their promises and claims. Of course, we recommend Webroot—an industry pioneer in business-grade SaaS solutions that integrate layered security, data protection, data management, and policy management in the cloud. Webroot products come with the industry's best customer support, and we guarantee their performance and availability.

I'm gonna go to the hospital in a few hours and be sedated. I do not want to be sedated.
The last time a doctor recommended a procedure for which sedation was required, I cancelled at the last minute. Actually, at that time I didn't know sedation was required. As soon as I heard it was, that's when I cancelled. As it turned out the reasons for the procedure turned out to be spurious (trust me, you don't want any further explanation than that). So I was fine. This time I feel like it may be necessary for them to go have a look at what they want to have a look at. Although I'm pretty certain it'll turn out to be nothing very serious.
The timing for this could hardly be worse. I'm doing this stuff on Friday and leaving for nearly two months in Europe on Sunday. People ask me how I prepare for these trips. The answer is "very badly."
I don't earn enough to pay for an assistant. So I have to set everything up myself. Luckily some very kind people over on the continent are booking me trains and planes and stuff. But I still have to coordinate it all. And I am very bad at that kind of thing. I'm not the kind of guy who really knows much about how to plan ahead.
Which is one of those weird questions I sometimes get. "If zen is all about being in the moment, are you allowed to plan ahead?" Yes, you are allowed to plan ahead. You plan ahead in the moment. You plan for two months in Europe now. Or at least you should. But if you're me, you barely do.
Plus a this week Zero Defex started recording what will eventually be its second album. I laid down some sitar on Wednesday. I be that's the first time a sitar was used by a hardcore band! The rest of the band will finish the tracks off while I'm away.
So I gotta go get sedated and still manage to pull together all the last minute stuff. Which is why this blog entry is short and messy.
I'm not a fan of drugs, as I think everybody who reads this knows. That includes even drugs that are "good for you," like the sedatives they give you in the hospital. I really don't want them. But I've heard what the procedure I'm going for is like without sedation and opted to get knocked out. Well, apparently not fully knocked out. They call the thing they're doing to me "twilight." I guess that means you're mostly knocked out. Knowing me, it'll put me under. Since I so seldom partake of drugs, whenever I do they knock me for a loop.
Anyhow, I figure if I write about the procedure maybe I can claim the whole thing as a tax write-off. Plus it may have some zen appeal. It is an altered state of consciousness after all. Not that zen is about altered states. But people who read about zen seem to like to read about altered states.
Good luck to me! See you on the other side!
P.S. Here's an interesting article by Susan O'Connel of San Fran Zen Center. Someone posted the link in the comments. Thanks.

Here we are now in the final stretch, finishing up Wrath content and both starting and finishing Cataclysm leveling content as you prepare for your gear and reputation grinds as you strive to get your gear improved enough for heroics and eventually raids as well.
This guide will get you all the way to the level cap so you'll have all of your spells and talents available to you at the end of this. If you aren't already familiar with your various cooldowns and buffs, then now is the time to learn them. Go queue yourself up for a random dungeon and make a point of using all of your cooldowns at some point. If you're still under level 81 then queue for Wrath dungeons so that you don't have to worry about new mechanics just yet, and focus on learning how and when to use the spells you may have been ignoring up to this point.
As always, remember that my guides are focused on getting you leveled up. I'm not here to get you ready for raiding, that's for other bloggers who focus specifically on certain classes and the raiding aspect of the game.
Playing a Protection Paladin
So now you're in Northrend level content and moving up towards Cataclysm content and the level cap. As far as playing your Prot Pally goes there's not much difference at all, save that Northrend mobs are harder than Outlands mobs and Cataclysm mobs are harder than Northrend mobs. You can still do big AoE pulls in all the content you'll level through in this range, though I suggest you go back to starting with small pulls of 2-4 until you get a feel for the mobs and then work your way up to bigger groups.
Questing as Prot is both simple and effective. Keep on doing what you've been doing the whole time, keep an eye on your health when you enter new areas so you know what to expect in the way of healing and pulling, but otherwise just have at it.
If you're looking for specs, rotations, gear guides, and so forth for getting into heroics and raids, then I direct you to Righteous Defense, a blog written by my buddy @Rhidach, who I consider my go-to source for end game Paladin information.
Protection-Specific Tips
I don't have much in the way of specific tips for you in this level range other than I love taking advantage of kill quests to use my AoE. I didn't have any trouble at all with Northrend group quests until I got to the last couple of levels in Northrend, there's one Group 5 quest in Ice Crown that I couldn't handle at 78. Not a big deal, I just skipped it and went on to other quests.
As you get into Cataclysm you'll notice a big jump in how powerful mobs are compared to how relatively weak your gear is if you're leveling straight through and weren't raiding in Wrath before. While not specific to Prot, I suggest you check the Auction House or your crafting alts to get yourself some Cataclysm gear from level 78 on. Get yourself a new set of armor, a new weapon, and a new shield. You should be able to get a couple of rings and a neck for fairly cheap since Jewelcrafters mass produce them to level their profession. A good weapon and shield are probably going to cost you a couple hundred gold each, but it'll be worth it.
Important Spells & Abilities
Level 70-85:
- Avenging Wrath: Increases all damage and healing caused by 20% for 20 sec.
- Resistance Aura: Gives additional Fire, Frost and Shadow resistance to all party and raid members within 40 yards. Players may only have one Aura on them per Paladin at any one time.
- Turn Evil: The targeted undead or demon enemy will be compelled to flee for up to 20 sec. Damage caused may interrupt the effect. Only one target can be turned at a time.
- Hand of Sacrifice: Places a Hand on the party or raid member, transfering 30% damage taken to the caster. Lasts 12 sec or until the caster has transfered 100% of their maximum health. Players may only have one Hand on them per Paladin at any one time.
- Mastery: Divine Bulwark: Increases your chance to block melee attacks by 18%. Each point of Mastery increases block chance by an additional 2.25%.
- Inquisition: Consumes all Holy Power to increase your Holy Damage by 30%. Lasts 4 sec per charge of Holy Power consumed.
- Divine Radiance: Heals all friendly targets within 0 yards for up to 683 every sec, with effectiveness diminishing on targets farther than 8 yards away and for each additional player target beyond 6. Lasts 10 sec.
- Guardian of Ancient Kings: Summons an Ancient Guardian who reduces all damage taken by 50% for 12 seconds.
Avenging Wrath, at level 72, is what gives your Paladin their "wings". It's a flat 20% increase in damage and healing that you do. It's a great buff and you should use it whenever you have the opportunity to do so, whether you're solo questing or tanking.
Level 76 gives you Resistance Aura which is a pretty decent buff when used at the right now. If you're in a situation where you're going to take elemental damage and you don't particularly need any of your other auras, then you might as well use this one. If you aren't taking significant elemental damage though, I wouldn't bother with it. As Protection Paladins we can take a melee style beating for days and just keep right on going, but we have very little resistance to Magic damage, so if you find yourself facing a lot of casters it might be a good idea to switch this baby on for a bit.
At level 78 you're able to send the fear of righteousness into undead and demons thanks to Turn Evil. It's a fear spell that can only target Undead and Demons, but at least it's somewhat reliable CC when it can be used. There aren't a whole lot of undead in Cataclysm, but there are some demons hanging around here and there. Honestly I only use this in AoE situations so that I can get a mob to socially agro his buddies for me. I leave the CC to other classes when I'm tanking.
At level 80 you get both Hand of Sacrifice and access to your Mastery, Divine Bulwark. Hand of Sacrifice is a great spell for saving the lives of your teammates by taking 30% of the damage they deal and directing it to yourself instead. The only time I cast this as a tank is when my healer is taking damage and my taunts are on cooldown. I use this a lot more during the rare moments I'm in a spec other than Prot. We make great use of our Mastery stat.
Level 81 sends in the (Spanish) Inquisition, our final method of burning Holy Power, this time to increase our Holy Damage. I'm not going to lie to you, I forget this thing exists constantly. It seems to me it's more of a DPS spell, though it could of course be used for tanking as well. I generally don't bother with it, but that's me.
Level 83 brings Holy Radiance which is an AoE heal centered on you that heals for more the closer they are to you. I actually like using this as Prot, even though it's a heal and my heals typically suck. It's something I can cast during combat to add a little buffer to myself and the other melee DPS. When I talk about the 939 rotation down below, this is one of those spells I fit into a 9-slot that doesn't typically belong there.
And finally, level 85 gives us Guardian of Ancient Kings, a spell that has a different effect based on your spec. For Prot that means we get 50% damage reduction for 12 seconds. It's a great way to mitigate some damage and ease up the load on your healers, or to add some more survivability when you're solo grinding large packs of mobs.
Leveling a Protection Paladin
Buffs List: Righteous Fury, Seal of Insight/Truth, Blessing of Might/Kings, Retribution/Devotion Aura
Multi-Target Rotation: Avenger's Shield, Hammer of the Righteous, Holy Wrath, Hammer of the Righteous, Judgement, Hammer of the Righteous
Single-Target Rotation: Exorcism, Avenger's Shield, Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Holy Wrath, Crusader Strike, Shield of the Righteous
Boss Rotation 1: Avenger's Shield, Judgement, Divine Plea, Shield of the Righteous, Crusader Strike, Holy Wrath, Crusader Strike, Judgement, Crusader Strike, Shield of the Righteous
Boss Rotation 2: Divine Plea, Shield of the Righteous, Crusader Strike, Judgement, Avenger's Shield, Consecrate, Holy Wrath, "939"
The Buffs List contains the buffs you should have up at all times. You'll notice that most of those have a This/That option as well. I tend to use Seal of Insight at all times while I'm leveling. Most mobs aren't going to live long enough to make SoTruth worth it, and it's better to keep your life and mana topped off instead. For Blessings I generally use Might when soloing and Kings when I'm in a group or a Battle Ground. The Aura is up to you, though I lean towards Retribution unless I'm taking a ton of damage.
The reason why the Boss Rotation 1 changes from everything else we're doing is because you want to start off as strong as possible on the threat front. This is my own preference for boss fights, it's how I like to handle them. Avenger's Shield and Judgement give you a decent start on threat but the real kicker is using Divine Plea which your talents trigger to give you 3 Holy Power and Shield of the Righteousness burns those three for a big burst of threat as well. Doing this should put you far enough ahead of all your DPS that you won't have to worry about them pulling off of you. Also, if you have your Avenger's Shield cooldown reset from your talent procs go ahead and fit it in whenever you have a moment to do so.
Boss Rotation 2 brings up the mysterious Paladin rotation known as 939. Prior to 939 you're building up your threat with various cooldowns and then settling into the 939 rotation. See the following section for details on what 939 is, and how to use it.
Understanding the 939 Rotation
939 – Those numbers more or less represent the cooldowns of your spells. The 9's represent your longer cooldown attacks while the 3's always represent Crusader Strike (single target) or Hammer of the Righteous (AoE). So the basic idea to do Special Attack > Crusader Strike > Special Attack, and repeat that over and over. That's why Paladins are "so easy" to tank with, because they have a literal rotation and it's easy to follow.
The easy part of 939 is remembering that you're going to use Crusader Strike or Hammer of Righteousness every time they're off cooldown, which will end up being every-other attack.
The "hard" part, which really isn't hard, is remembering when to use your 9's, which are all of your other special attacks. On one hand you could say to just use whatever happens to not be on cooldown and you'll probably do just fine while you're leveling. But the key to making 939 work, and work well, is knowing the priority of your 9's.
Before you learn their priority, you probably need to know what the 9's are: Judgement, Avenger's Shield, Holy Wrath, and Shield of the Righteous. There are also a couple of spells that can fill the 9's slot that don't have a dedicated place in the rotation and instead are used as needed in a 9 slot: Word of Glory, Consecration, Hammer of Wrath, Hammer of Justice, and Rebuke.
Priority of 9's: Shield of the Righteous (only with 3 Holy Power), Judgement, [Exception*], Avenger's Shield, Consecration, Holy Wrath
Shield of the Righteous takes the top spot because if you don't use it when you're sitting at 3 Holy Power then you're going to waste Holy Power with the next Crusader/Hammer cast that you make unless you throw off your whole rotation. Judgement provides you with a lot of different beneficial effects, so use it when you can to reap the benefits.
The [Exception*] is when the target is below 20% health. In those situations Hammer of Wrath takes a priority slot right behind Judgement. If you don't have 3 Holy Power yet and Judgement isn't on cooldown, cast Hammer of Wrath before all the others.
Avenger's Shield, Consecration, and Holy Wrath fill out the remainder of the priority list. I'm not a big fan of Consecration in this expansion, so I usually leave it out completely, but that's just me.
The other spells I mentioned being able to fill your 9's slots with are all situational. You won't necessarily be able to fit in a Hammer of Justice or Rebuke cast on the 9 slot as interrupts are usually needed right now instead of whenever it's convenient for you, and if you're in desperate need of a Word of Glory heal then of course you need it when you need it.
Talent Spec: Protection 85
- Improved Judgement 2/2: Increases the range of your Judgement by 20 yards.
- Crusade 3/3: Increases the damage of your Crusader Strike, Hammer of the Righteous, and Templar's Verdict by 30%, and the damage and healing of your Holy Shock by 30%. In addition, for 15 sec after you kill an enemy that yields experience or honor, your next Holy Light heals for an additional 300%.
- Pursuit of Justice 2/2: You have a 100% chance to gain a charge of Holy Power when struck by a Stun, Fear or Immobilize effect. In addition, increases your movement and mounted movement speed by 15%. This effect does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects.
- Rule of Law 3/3: Increases the critical effect chance of your Crusader Strike, Hammer of the Righteous and Word of Glory by 15%.
I like to take Improved Judgement as my first point outside of the Prot tree. It's great for pulling additional mobs, patrols, or adds when you don't have a taunt handy (or want to save it), and for having more to do while you're rushing in on a boss. It's not required, but I like it a lot personally. Switching these points to Eye for an Eye would be a decent alternative I imagine.
Crusade is a flat damage increase of 30% to two of our most frequently used spells: Crusader Strike and Hammer of the Righteous. I also like it for the 300% healing from Holy Light after you kill an honor/experience target so that I can easily top off after a big pull with a single, cheap heal.
Pursuit of Justice is a great little talent. First it gives free Holy Power when you're stunned, feared, or immobilized and then it has the added benefit of increasing your movement speed by 15% on top of it. Increasing your speed from talents frees up an enchant slot on your boots too.
We finish off our talent points with Rule of Law, increasing the crit chance of three of our most common spells.
Again, I want to point out that my guides are here to help you level your toon, not necessarily to get your ready for raiding and farming heroics. If you want to get serious about end game content then you're much better off looking at someone who's focused on end game. I level, it's what I do, and I can help you with that just fine, but end game is not my strong point.
All of your glyph slots will be open to you as of level 75, so you've now got 3 of each type to fill. Glyphs are listed in the order I would suggest you take them from a leveling perspective.
- Glyph of Shield of the Righteous: Increases the damage of Shield of the Righteous by 10%.
- Glyph of Hammer of the Righteous: Increases the damage of both the physical and Holy components of Hammer of the Righteous by 10%.
- Glyph of Crusader Strike: Increases the critical strike chance of Crusader Strike by 5%.
Now that all of our glyph slots are open, it's time to fill them up with the good stuff. I list these in the order I suggest that you take them.
- Glyph of Dazing Shield: Your Avenger's Shield now also dazes targets.
- Glyph of Holy Wrath: Your Holy Wrath now also stuns Elementals and Dragonkin.
- Glyph of Consecration: Increases the duration and cooldown of Consecration by 20%.
- Glyph of the Ascetic Crusader: Reduces the mana cost of your Crusader Strike by 30%.
- Glyph of Lay on Hands: Reduces the cooldown of your Lay on Hands spell by 3 min.
- Glyph of Divine Protection: Removes the physical damage reduction of your Divine Protection, but increases the magical damage reduction by 20%.
Again, I list these in the order I suggest you take them. One glyph that might stand out as an oddity to you is the Glyph of Lay on Hands. I mention it solely because of the mana issues that many people are having right now, especially healers. Lay on Hands restores a lot of health, but it also restores some mana to the target as well, and being able to use this on a healer who's out of mana can be the difference between a loot roll and a corpse run.
- Glyph of Blessing of Kings: Reduces the mana cost of Blessing of Kings by 50%.
- Glyph of Insight: Reduces the mana cost of Seal of Insight by 50%.
- Glyph of Blessing of Might: Reduces the mana cost of Blessing of Might by 50%.
Paladin minor glyphs are crap. We get six glyphs that all do exactly the same thing, reducing mana cost of their respective spells by 50%. Grab the three you cast most often and go with it.
Gearing Up as Protection
As a melee class we're looking for stats that impact our melee performance such as Strength, Attack Power, Hit, Crit and Haste. As a tank though, you also want to look for survival stats such as Stamina, Dodge and Parry.
Stat Priority: Strength and Stamina, Mastery, Dodge and Parry, Other melee stuff
Use that as a general guide for your stats. If you're looking to get geared up for heroics and raids then I suggest you do a little more research elsewhere to find the actual stat weights.

Now that Gamescom is over the last few interviews are popping up with a few interesting details. (via Digitalspy, GameInformer, Allvatar, and JudgeHype)
Patch 4.3+
- The new 5 man dungeons will help to introduce the Deathwing Raid.
- The current plan with the Deathwing raid is to have it all available immediately upon release.
- The Deathwing raid will be smaller than Ulduar with many phases or encounters with Deathwing.
- Patch 4.4 will bring a world event before the next expansion.
- The next expansion should be released with a "meaningful difference" in the release timeline compared to previous expansions.
Future Changes and Features
- Paid Guild Transfers are still in the works.
- Battle.net account wide achievements are still in the works.
- Armor dyes are unlikely to be included in the game, but mount customization is a possibility.
- Class Quests are unlikely to return due to the amount of time it takes to design and implement them.
- No gold sinks are coming soon because of the large variance in the amount of gold players have.
- A real money Auction House is not planned for WoW.
Other Notes
- RealID LFD grouping was originally going to be paid because of the similarity to Paid Character Transfers, but they decided it was the right thing for the game to offer it for free.
- Cross realm RealID grouping is going to be expanded to cover Battlegrounds as well. Depending on how well that works it could be expanded to raids and rated battlegrounds.
- There has been a drop in gold farming because phishing and hacking accounts is more profitable.
- New players are still having trouble with the first 30 minutes and five levels of the game, more hand holding is coming for very basic concepts like moving, questing, fighting, and looting.
- Blizzard did a lot to save time while getting Cataclysm finished, but ended up happy with the final result.
- The shared 10 and 25 man lockout has had both positive and negative effects, it solved the need to do both every week but removed some extra content that could be done every week. Some changes will be made in the future to make everyone happier with the solution.

But in this case it's not enough. I just think people are being wrong, and I dislike it. I'll admit though, that that's because it plays into some of my own personal pet peeves from xkcd, and not the more general, more objective stuff.
The main one is his terrific hatred, his utter loathing, of the mainstream media. This is, of course, common on the internet, especially among people known to love reddit.
[actually, i have to make a quick interlude on the subject of the reddit store on xkcd: i fucking love that "ladies of reddit" and i shall tell you why it is the best thing ever: 1, it is quite literally portraying women as merely attractive things to be looked at, nothing more, and this comes from the King of Womyn-Defense and Master of the White Knight, 2, they are still selling a 2010 calendar in June 2010, 3, the description says there are still 11 months left in 2010 so you should buy it, meaning the description is four months out of date, 4, they say that the money is going to charities chosen by the women in the calendar BUT ALSO that 100% of the money is going to haiti, which is great but it doesn't make mathematical sense, 5, they say they lowered the price because they were giving money to Haiti (that doesn't make sense, "we are giving the money to charity but don't worry, we also are going to make sure we make less money") when really it's just because they didn't sell and it's already June, 6, the 17 photos of the calendar are full of repeats, 7, i am pretty sure one of the ladies isn't a lady. Not the guy looking at the calendar, one of the actual subjects. THAT IS ALL RESUME REGULAR BLOGGING NOW]
OK, we were talking about reddit or something? And the media? OH YES randall loves to talk about how he hates the msm. The worst example of this is from the comic about bailouts/AIG benefits that made me perhaps angrier than any other comics he's ever made. The driving idea behind more these comics is "media people suck at their job and i know better than all of them." It's actually not a terrible sentiment, the problem is that when you make a comic like this (or write a reddit comment about it...) you will generally come off like a dick. As today's comic does, if you ask me. Particularly panel 2, where Randall has his straw-correspondent shout down the Scientist Hero and her (her!) reasonable logic. The correspondent yells "crew this!" to a scientist?? How much more badly could he have portrayed them?
[update: In response to some comments, I'm going to explain a little more here: I'm not trying to say that the MSM is beyond reproach. The issue is that this comic is making them seem way, way, worse in this case than they actually are. The comic is trying to parody blockbuster director James Cameron's involvement in the oil cleanup process, but it's a really disingenuous parody, because his involvement wasn't the media's fault. read the article I linked to there - he offered to help because he actually has a lot of experience dealing with tons of underwater robots (thanks to Titanic). So it's weird to think of the director of Avatar as being useful here, but a) it's true anyway, and b) Cameron was the one who started it, not the media. They may be doing things badly but turning to hapless directors for sensationalism is not one of them]
Then he gets to his second Theme That Bothers Me, the mocking of big budget action movies. Most clearly stated in this comic, which even uses the very same director. It's not like there's only one joke to make on the subject, but at the same time, xkcd didn't exactly explore all the possibilities here. The plot is creative, yes, I can grant that. But does that alone make it funny? I'm not sure. The story doesn't get comic emphasis (it's not the punchline) and is only funny in a sort of incidental, "hey he will exaggerate it in some crazy way" way. way way way.
Lastly, the comic does another thing that maybe pisses off me and me alone: the not-so-subtle subtle political name drop. Randall pretends that he keeps his "interest" in politics out of his comic (it's not true, as any number of examples can demonstrate) but then includes these irritating little reminders of just how closely he follows politics. There was the fivethirtyeight.com namedrop, the Ben Bernanke one, and that inauguration one, and now, James Carville. Each one makes me want to say "congratulations on knowing about that random thing, and for telling us you know all about it." It may not bother you, that's ok. It bothers me though.
I guess I haven't really talked much about the general substance of this comic. As far as it goes, the structure is ok, there are some inventive ideas, and at least a little effort at art and color. But I can't get around the little problems. If you can, I won't disagree with you. let us see what the next comic has in store!

Preparations for the 2013 high school football season have been underway informally for months with spring and summer workouts but the clock started ticking for real when the jamborees were over Friday night.
Preparations for the 2013 high school football season have been underway informally for months with spring and summer workouts but the clock started ticking for real when the jamborees were over Friday night.
It means the routine is back.
Coaches typically meet with their opponents on Saturday to swap game film. Then they gather their staffs on Sunday to watch the footage and formulate a game plan. Finally, there is practice beginning on Monday to prepare for Friday's game. That part may be routine but it's a new year and county fans will note some changes beginning with Friday's opening games.
Lexington opens the Chuck Henderson era against Monroe at Philpott Memorial Stadium. Whew. Talk about hitting the ground running. Monroe is new to the 2-A ranks after a long run as a 1-A superpower. Monroe is always loaded with athletes and this year should be no different. But the Redhawks are having to replace a lot of their statistical leaders from last year as is Lexington. So there's a lot of the unknown in this one.
North Davidson hosts Thomasville with somewhat of a new look after graduating 31 seniors. But the reloading Black Knights have defensive giant Shy Tuttle, who has offers from two-time defending national champion Alabama, Ohio State and just about every other BCS school, and is still only a junior. Khylil Miller is the new quarterback and expectations are high for him. The biggest question surrounding Thomasville is who's going to get the ball and become a 2,000-yard rusher. Somebody will. That's the Thomasville way.
Central Davidson is retaining the double wing offense under new head coach Chad Tedder as it moves forward without career-leading tailback Saig Skeen. The Spartans still have a huge offensive line, which is vital to making the double wing work. They'll need to find a replacement for Skeen, who could run over and away from people. That could be Desmond Mabe, who was a fullback last season.
Bryan Lingerfelt is the new coach at West Davidson, though he is hardly new to coaching. Lingerfelt brought the Air Lingerfelt spread offense with him to Tyro after turning to it at East Davidson in recent years. The Dragons open their season at Ledford, which features a powerful running back in George Melvin. It could be a big season for Melvin, who is part of a veteran team.
East Davidson travels to South Davidson for an unusual matchup in that both head coaches are making their debuts. East's Vance Hanner is a former Golden Eagle player who is taking over for Lingerfelt. In contrast, Cullen is brand new to South Davidson, a fresh start for a school that has mostly struggled in football. Cullen is aiming to change that.
"We're both coaching our first varsity game?" Cullen said. "That's cool."
Indeed. Let the games begin.

Our Product Choices include a range of prints to meet budgetary and display requirements
Photographic Prints are very popular, ideal for long term use and framing. We print on archival quality Lustre paper which combines the best of traditional gloss and matte papers.

The thinner poster paper is less suitable for long term needs and should not be used within frames due to possible sagging over time.

She loves me, she loves me not. That's the vibe you get with this weird Exchange ActiveSync saga/drama going on between Google and Microsoft right now. It was back in mid-December that Google dropped a bomb on the internet (and mostly Microsoft) by announcing that it was going to stop supporting EAS on January 30, 2013 – which is today.
Existing connections wouldn't be affected, but going forward anyone trying to set up a Gmail account on a Windows Phone would have a less than ideal experience. Now we've got a temporary silver lining.
About 10 days ago we reported that Microsoft was going to work on implement CardDAV and CalDAV for Windows Phone. That would allow Gmail users to get all their contact and calendars syncing nicely on a shiny new Windows Phone.
In an official blog post on the Windows Phone Blog, Microsoft announced that Google would continue to support new connections through Exchange ActiveSync for Windows Phone devices until July 31, 2013. In the meantime, the company will go forward with adding support for both CardDAV and CalDAV for the Windows Phone operating system. Combined with their IMAP support, anyone setting up a Gmail account on a Windows Phone device will get a smooth experience when Google does stop the EAS support later this year.

If you ever fly, you've heard it countless times: You cannot use your cellphone while en route to your destination. Federal rules will not allow it. That could change now, as the FCC considers relaxing those rules. But in advance of that decision yesterday, Delta Airlines said it plans to remain committed to high altitude quiet time.
Here's NPR's Kathy Lohr.
KATHY LOHR, BYLINE: Delta CEO Richard Anderson says frequent flyers believe voice calls in the cabin would disrupt travel. So the airline announced it will ban in-flight calls.
HENRY HARTEVELDT: So, I think this is a smart decision.
LOHR: Henry Harteveldt is a travel industry analyst with Hudson Crossing.
HARTEVELDT: And I think what it shows is that Delta recognizes its customers want to stay in touch, but more through data than voice.
LOHR: If the FCC lifts it ban on using cellphones in flight, Delta says it will allow passengers to text, email and use other silent ways to transmit data from gate to gate.
The flight attendants union and others have opposed the idea of allowing cellphone conversations, noting it would increase noise and tension among passengers, and could compromise safety. Thousands of consumers and members of Congress have complained. As a result of Delta's decision, this holiday airline safety video could change, but maybe not by much.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Once airborne, we'll let you know when you can use approved electronic devices, but note: Some items may not be used in flight at any time.
LOHR: The FCC is seeking public comment. Even the agency's chair Tom Wheeler recently said he wouldn't want to be stuck next to a loud passenger blabbing during a flight. But he said the agency saw no technical reason to block voice calls. And another federal agency, the U.S. Transportation Department, says it might ban in-flight calls, ending the debate altogether.

The Lady-Crusaders are 6-0.
Putting up double-digit runs in a softball game isn't the most common occurrence. To do it twice in back-to-back games? That just means the Lady-Crusaders are 6-0.
Wellington scored 10 runs in each contest of the double-header against Winfield on Monday, April 15, allowing a combined one run.
Shanlyn Hefley, senior, pitched a shut-out in game one, allowing only four hits, throwing seven strikeouts. Hefley also contributed from behind the plate, going 1/3 with an RBI, and scoring two runs.
Winfield couldn't get off of the field quick enough in the bottom of the third. Wellington rounded up six points, bringing their lead to 7-0. One more run in the fourth, and two more in the fifth and that was all she wrote.
Wellington's 10 runs came from nine hits, and the team had no errors in game one. Hefley advances to 3-0 from the pitching circle this season, so did Kailey Jenkins, senior, once the second game was over.
The second game was slightly more competitive, as the Lady-Crusaders won by nine. This time the big inning for Wellington was in the bottom of the second.
Five runs brought the lead to 6-0. Multiple players made plays with the bat in game two. Ryleigh Buck, freshman, was 3/4, with a triple, an RBI and one run. Peyton Adams, sophomore, hit a double in route to going 2/4 and scoring a run. Hefley, Jenkins, McKenna Oathout, freshman, Shelby Hambel, junior, and Carlie McComb, junior, each had an RBI in the second game.
The blistering bats in game two carried over from game one. Jenkins had 3 RBI, along with a double, going 2/3 and scoring a run. Oathout had two RBI in the first game, Buck, and McComb each had one.
Thanks to games being post-poned earlier in the season, due to weather, the Lady-Crusaders have played all of their games at home. They will face their first road test on Thursday against Rose Hill. The double-header against the Rockets was supposed to be the season opener for WHS. Will their winning ways continue away from Worden Park? Log on to www.wellingtondailynews.com to find out after the game.

Ulcers and the Bacteria That Causes Them
Ulcers were believed to be caused by stress, smoking, anxiety, and/or a diet rich in spicy foods. However, research has shown that most ulcers are caused by a spiral-shaped bacterium known as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The other common cause of ulcers is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Anatomy of an Ulcer ^
When we eat, food passes down the esophagus (throat) and into the stomach. There, hydrochloric acid and pepsin (an enzyme) continue the digestive process that started with the saliva in your mouth. Next, food passes to the duodenum (small intestine) where the digestive process continues. An ulcer is an area of stomach or duodenum that has been damaged by the digestive enzymes and stomach acid.
How H. pylori causes ulcers is not yet fully understood. We do know that:
- The bacteria can live in the stomach because they attach to cells and produce an enzyme that stops the corrosive effects of stomach acid.
- The bacteria damages the protective mucous layers of both the stomach and the duodenum.
- Not everyone who has the bacteria will develop an ulcer.
- Being infected with the bacteria is also a risk factor for developing stomach cancer.
An ulcer that goes untreated can cause several problems in the abdomen, such as:
- Internal bleeding
- Perforation (a hole) in the stomach or duodenum allowing food and bacteria to spill into the abdomen and cause infection and irritation
- Blockage of the opening between the stomach and duodenum due to chronic inflammation that leads to swelling and scarring
Discovering the Causes of Ulcers ^
The story behind the discovery of the H. pylori bacteria and its relationship to ulcers is an unusual one. In 1982, two Australian researchers, Drs. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren, detected the bacteria in the stomach lining of people suffering from gastritis. When further study demonstrated the presence of the bacteria in nearly 100% of patients with duodenal ulcers and 80% of people with stomach ulcers, Drs. Marshall and Warren proposed that it might be the cause.
When their hypothesis was met with a great deal of skepticism, Dr. Marshall ingested a teaspoonful of the bacteria. Within 24 hours, he developed severe gastritis. Further research by Dr. Marshall, Dr. Warren, and others established that it does in fact cause 50% of stomach ulcers and 90% of the much more common duodenal ulcers.
Of the ulcers that are not caused by H. pylori, most are caused by NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as ibuprofen, and naproxen. NSAIDs block the production of mucous in the stomach that protects the lining from the damaging effects of the stomach acid.
The Telltale Burn ^
The most common symptom of an ulcer is a chronic burning pain in the upper part of the abdomen. The pain is usually between the breastbone and the naval and it can last from minutes to hours. Pain often occurs in the middle of the night, upon waking, and/or 2-3 hours after a meal. It may be relieved by eating or taking antacid medicines. Less common symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting—can be bloody or appear like coffee grounds if the ulcer is bleeding
- Loss of appetite
- Loss of weight
- Bloody or black stool caused by bleeding from the ulcer
- Weakness
Diagnosis ^
It is important that ulcers be properly diagnosed. The symptoms common to ulcers can also be caused by a number of other conditions. In addition, ulcers caused by H. pylori and those caused by NSAID are treated somewhat differently.
The 2 most commonly used tests for diagnosing an ulcer are:
- Endoscopy—an examination of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a small, flexible tube-like instrument containing a camera that is inserted through your throat
- Upper GI series—x-rays of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum are taken after you drink a chalky substance that outlines the shape of the digestive tract
A test for the presence of H. pylori is done to determine whether the ulcer is caused by the bacteria. There are several methods used to detect it including a blood test, a breath test, or a lab analysis of the biopsied tissue sample. These tests differ in sensitivity for detecting the presence of bacteria in your system.
Removing the Offending Agent ^
Treatment involves removing the underlying cause of the ulcer and healing the ulcer. One common treatment approach involves taking antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria along with an acid suppressor and sometimes a bismuth-containing medication such as Pepto-Bismol. This method is often effective in killing the bacteria, healing the ulcer, and preventing it from returning.
Steering Clear of Ulcers ^
To prevent NSAID-caused ulcers, try to avoid using NSAIDs in large doses for long periods of time. Unfortunately, researchers do not yet know how to prevent the development of H. pylori in the digestive tract. Some recommended precautions are to:
- Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and before eating.
- Eat food that has been washed and cooked.
- Drink water from a clean source.
