Giving myself a kick up the …February 1, 2011 at 10:10 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment

I'm feeling a lot better at the moment. Exercise obviously is the cure for or ills! (Well perhaps not, but I think it might have helped a bit! Perhaps it's browsing books that made me feel better!) Anyway, in spite of feeling better physically I woke up yesterday with a major 'Monday morning feeling' and a distinct grump on about the fact that we'd had too really gloomy days over the weekend and yet last Friday and this Monday (when I had to work, of course, or in Friday's case would have been working if I hadn't been at home with my head under a pillow trying to shift the latest migraine), we had gloriously sunny, spring days.
Then I decided this was not the positive thinking penguin I wanted to be! So I 'reframed' and started to think, 'Hey, at least I can glance out of the window and see blue sky and the promise of spring, even if I do have to work.' Then at lunchtime I managed to reframe, 'Oh heck, we've gone a bit quiet at work, will we have enough to keep us going?' to 'Ooh, goodie, we're a bit quiet. I've got time to go for a nice walk at lunch time and enjoy the sunshine.' And I did. I only went up and down the high street, popped into a few charity shops and had a browse (got seriously tempted by a knitting machine, but that's another story) but mostly just wandered up and down soaking up the sun (in a well wrapped kind of way, given that it's still February!) but I felt so much better for it, and so much better for seeing the aconites starting to flower, bright yellow splashes of colour that are definitely the heralds of spring round here! (It was the primroses where I used to live, in Devon, but here it's the snowdrops and the aconites.) Anyway, I'm feeling much better for it – and hoping that today will bring a bit more sunshine and another chance for a walk … although my fears about lack of work were groundless, as a load more has come in! Even so, I shall jolly well make time for a walk at lunch time!

A New Castle area man who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at Moraine State Park will spend up to 44 months in state prison.
"I apologize for my actions. I realize what I did was wrong," 41-year-old Jeffery J. Locke of Scott Township said during his sentencing today in Butler County court.
Locke, who pleaded guilty to aggravated indecent assault, was sentenced by Judge William Shaffer to a plea arrangement made earlier with the county district attorney's office: 22 to 44 months incarceration followed by 76 months of state probation.
The victim, a resident of Scranton, did not speak in court.
Court records say the incident occurred after the girl contacted Locke, who was an acquaintance of the girl's mother, on the Internet when she was looking for a summer job.
Locke offered her a job to help him pick produce, and he traveled to Scranton to pick her up in July. A day later, on July 19, the girl accompanied Locke to Moraine State Park to fish.
There, Locke sexually assaulted the girl in his pickup truck after sharing marijuana with her.

I'M Back and NINA HARTLEY INTERVIEW
Yup. I'm back from 12 days at Tassajara. As soon as I get a minute I'm gonna write down some of my thoughts on Tassajara specifically as well as monastic practice in the modern world in general. Hopefully I won't offend all the very wonderful friends I made up there in Carmel Valley as well as in the Bay Area. My general impression of Tassajara is that I love, love, love the place. But my love isn't unconditional.
Anyway, more about that when I have time to write coherently.
I hope you've all gone over and read my interview with porn superstar and Zen Buddhist Nina Hartley on Suicide Girls. Like all the stuff I write for Suicide Girls, you can look at this without joining the site and without any danger of accidentally seeing naked titties. This represents about half of the actual interview I conducted and I'm hoping the publish the full version elsewhere. Stay tuned.
Those of you in North Carolina and its environs, check out the link in the post below this one for info on the retreat I'll be leading next week at the Southern Dharma Retreat Center. And cheeseheads in Milwaukee take note I'll be in your neighborhood in mid-May. The info is also in the post below.
Rock on.

The Gastroenterology and Nutritional Medical Services, located in the office of Raj Bhandari, M.D., is in the process of the adding a research lab that is set to be completed around mid-January 2013.
Delta Research Partners is an independent research lab that has an established site in Monroe, with a patient database of over 100,000 patients.
Casey Petrus, clinical research coordinator for Delta Research Partners, said DRP has been conducting Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 clinical trials since 2002.
According to Petrus, all FDA approved drugs must go through three phases of clinical trials before the drug is approved. Phase 4b trials are conducted on FDA approved drugs that are exploring new indications, such as one drug already approved to treat chronic constipation, clinically tested to treat IBS-C with constipation.
"We do trials that are gastrointestinal-related," Petrus said. "We treat indications such as chronic constipation, IBS-constipation, Hepatitis C, hepatic encephalopathy, anal fissures, diabetic gastroparesis, IBS-diarrhea, opiod induced constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease. We also study different types of preparations for colonoscopies."
New patients are often referred by those who have previously participated in clinical trials, and possible benefits that can be received through their contribution, such as free medical visits, medications and lab work.
Petrus said patients who are uninsured may gain from research services if they meet the required criteria of protocol.
"Patients are paid for their participation in clinical trials," Petrus said. "The dollar amount per visit is
determined by the sponsor of the clinical trial. Some may be paid $75 a visit and will have eight visits. Others may be paid more or less, depending on the study and the amount of visits."

Ion Hazzikostas Interview
As Patch 5.2 comes to an end, developer interviews begin again! Today we are taking a look at an interview with Ion Hazzikostas (Lead Encounter Designer) by Convert to Raid.
Throne of Thunder
- The team is happy with how Throne of Thunder turned out, as it really delivered on the varied and large environments, fun encounters, great art, and an interesting race for World First.
- Lei Shen delivered on how great the final boss of a tier should be and is comparable to Heroic Ragnaros in terms of difficulty and structure.
- The difficulty ramp up between bosses was not as smooth as it could have been, especially going from Jin'rokh to Horridon. This is something that can be improved upon in the next raid, and was addressed with hotfixes this time.
- Throne of Thunder has a linear progression path, but many players missed the less linear progression that was seen in Ulduar and Icecrown. Giving players the option to work on another boss is helpful and there were areas in Throne of Thunder that could have been designed with this in mind.
- Ra-Den didn't work out completely as envisioned. The sense of mystery associated with a boss that no one knows anything about is nice, making the content a bonus prize for defeating Lei Shen. It was hard to balance and test without the regular player testing, which resulted in clever use of game mechanics to defeat Ra-Den. Normally hotfixes would have been used to solve the problem, but limited attempts made it a more complicated situation.
- There might have been slightly too much trash on Raid Finder difficulty, because there are no epic rewards that drop from the trash like Normal and Heroic difficulty. Trash is still an important pacing and environmental factor though, as you are progressing towards Lei Shen through his army.
- During Sunwell progression, raiding 20 hours over several days to get a world first on M'uru was unprecedented. Blizzard tried attempt limits or time limits to reduce the need to raid constantly, but it has always been an arms race between the top guilds to raid longer hours.
- Limited attempts in Icecrown resulted in using alts to practice encounters before doing them on main characters, increasing the amount of time top guilds spent raiding instead of decreasing it.
- The devs would like to see more organized raiding, such as the organized PuGs that existed before Raid Finder.
- There is a group of players that wants to do group raiding, but they aren't well served by the current difficulty choices. This would include the friends and family type guilds that don't remove players because they aren't performing at their best. In Wrath of the Lich King, 10 player normal difficulty raiding served these players well, but there is now a gap between Raid Finder and Normal difficulty.
- When 10 and 25 player had separate lockouts and different loot, they were really different difficulty levels as well. Things were somewhat easier in 10 player difficulty, as it had the lower tier of loot and should be more accessible.
- Now that both 10 and 25 player difficulty offer the same loot and have a shared lockout, there is a need to ensure the difficulty is similar for both raid sizes. This eliminated the lower difficulty 10 player raids, which left some players with no content to raid in a more casual organized group.
- Removing shared lockouts would just make people feel that it was mandatory to do the raid on both sizes every week to get gear faster.
Raid Finder
- Raid Finder is great for letting players see content and progress their character with a more flexible schedule, but one of the best things MMOs offer is the cooperative social experience that is group raiding.
- The success rates on Spine of Deathwing and Madness of Deathwing upon release in Raid Finder were about the same as they are on Lei Shen today. The success rate quickly went up on Madness of Deathwing, going from 25% during the first few weeks to 60 or 70% towards the end of the expansion.
- Garalon was initially too difficult in Raid Finder difficulty, but hotfixes solved that problem.
- Before the Determination buff was added, if a group failed at an encounter a few times, there wasn't much hope that anything was going to get better. This resulted in some churn in the group and continued failure. The only way to solve this problem was making the encounter easier so that groups failed less.
- Determination allows the group to slowly make more progress on a boss, as well as give people who were thinking about leaving a reason to stick around.
- This worked as intended, as the number of people leaving after failed attempts is significantly lower now. This also helps to reduce the amount of partially completed raids that people enter after a long queue.
- Raid finder is designed to not be attractive to players that are doing most of the raid on Normal or Heroic difficulty, but for players that don't have a fixed raid group to play with.
- In the past, relatively few people were able to see Arthas, Illidan, and other end bosses in raids. Raid finder allows millions of people to see the entire story.
Future / Misc
- Patch 5.4 will have a raid that is similar in size to Throne of Thunder.
- The team started working on Patch 5.4 as soon as they were done with work on the Patch 5.2 PTR content.
- It would have been nice to have more dungeons while leveling in Pandaria, as there wasn't enough variety. This is something that can be improved upon in the future.
- Requiring a group for Heroic Scenarios was done to ensure some level of communication between players, making it possible to make the content more difficult and interesting.
Patch 5.3 PTR - Build 16958
Build 16958 will be deployed to the PTR realms soon.

Compaq now introduces ProLiant ML370 models with the latest available Intel® Pentium® III processor at 1GHz. The demands of distributed Server deployments differ from those found in the data center both in terms of administration as well as maintenance however both are similar in that they require centralized management capability and high levels of availability coupled with excellent performance. The trend towards central administration of Server solutions requires technologies that can be remotely deployed over vast distances while providing the same Virtual Presence and ease of maintenance found in the data center. As the worlds best selling server the ProLiant 1600 became the benchmark for machines in this class. Building on the strengths of the ProLiant 1600 the Compaq ProLiant ML370 is again defining the standard for multi-purpose server solutions optimized for distributed Server deployments.

This article, Rinnegan, is canon and uses Creative Commons licensed content from Narutopedia's Rinnegan article.
The list of authors can be seen in the page history there.
The Rinnegan (輪廻眼; Literally meaning "Saṃsāra Eye") is reputed as the most exalted eyes amongst the Three Great Dōjutsu (三大瞳術, San Daidōjutsu; Literally meaning "Three Great Eye Techniques").[2] It is characterised by its ripple-like pattern which spreads over the eyeballs, with light purple irides and sclerae.
Background Edit
The first person to possess the Rinnegan was the Sage of the Six Paths. Because of the Sage's mythical status, many people believed the Rinnegan was only a legend or a mutation.[1] Because the Rinnegan was originally wielded by the Sage of the Six Paths, re-merging his bloodlines: that of the Senju and Uchiha can lead to that person awakening this dōjutsu. This was proven when Madara Uchiha later awakened the dōjutsu by infusing Hashirama Senju's DNA into his body; however it did not manifest until he was near the end of his natural lifespan.[2] At some point after this, he would implant his eyes into Nagato — a young Senju descendant.[3] Obito Uchiha, being the partner of and given the guise of Madara, believes that since it was given to Nagato by Madara, he is entitled to taking the Rinnegan from Nagato's body after his death.[4] He implants one of the Rinnegan in his left socket, replacing the Sharingan he sacrificed.[5]
When Madara was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces, Madara once again gained access to the dōjutsu; his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan transformed into the Rinnegan. Based on data collected over the years, Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru theorised that because the Sharingan originated from the Rinnegan, it was possible for the dōjutsu to change into the Rinnegan as part of a "natural evolution".[6] This is supported by the fact he maintains his Susanoo while having his Rinnegan activated.[7] Upon reincarnation, Nagato also retained the Rinnegan.
Abilities Edit
One who gains the Rinnegan has access to a multitude of abilities. On its own, the Rinnegan allows the user to see chakra, including otherwise hidden barriers such as the one which surrounded Konohagakure.[8] The holder of these eyes have the potential to completely master all five basic nature transformations that form the basis of ninjutsu.[9] It can also decipher more of the Sage of the Six Paths' tablet than the Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan are able to.[10] The Rinnegan can also allow its user to summon and control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
One of the Rinnegan's trademark techniques is the Six Paths Technique, which grants the user multiple abilities, known as Paths. The Animal Path can summon several different creatures. The Naraka Path can summon the King of Hell, which could be used for interrogation and restoration. The Preta Path can absorb any chakra-based ninjutsu. The Asura Path can clad the user in mechanised armour and grant them various weapons. The Human Path can read minds, at the cost of ripping out the victim's soul. The Deva Path allows the manipulation of gravity-based forces to either repel or pull in an enemy.
Finally the user is granted the Outer Path, also known as the seventh Path. It granted the user control over life and death. It can be used to control tailed beasts in a similar fashion to the Sharingan and the Wood Release with its chakra chains. The Outer Path also granted a shared field of vision between its user and their summoned creatures and Six Paths of Pain, which gave multiple angles of vision and neutralised any blind spots. At this point all of their eyes would also sport the Rinnegan.[11][12][13]
When he was crippled by Hanzō, Nagato developed the Six Paths of Pain where he uses his Rinnegan and chakra receivers on freshly killed corpses to serve as extensions of himself. By doing so, Nagato could see each body's field of vision simultaneously, coordinating them with extremely precise planning. Nagato would also channel one of the abilities of the Six Paths Technique through each corpse. Obito also applied this technique, though he used reincarnated jinchūriki. Their eyes sported the Sharingan and Rinnegan, in identical fashion to Obito, and had their tailed beasts temporarily re-sealed inside them, though the Uchiha would not have them use the powers of the Six Paths Technique.
The users of the Rinnegan also gain access to a special set of tools, the chakra receivers; black rods which one can use as a medium to channel chakra or produce chakra chains. Madara once used these tools to store a part of his will inside it for the purpose of his revival. Nagato displayed a weaponised, blade-like version of these, which can disrupt a victim's chakra that have been stabbed by these. Obito displayed another version of this, in the form of giant stakes capable of piercing the flesh of a tailed beast and can restrain the beasts with chakra chains.
While the powers of the Rinnegan remain intact upon implanting them in a new person, like Nagato and Obito Uchiha, only one who "naturally" manifests the Rinnegan, as in Madara Uchiha's case, is able to switch between the Rinnegan and Sharingan, otherwise, the Rinnegan is always activated. However, it would appear that maintaining the Rinnegan consumes very little chakra, if any at all, based on the fact Nagato never showed signs of fatigue while possessing the Rinnegan even before being trained by Jiraiya.
Trivia Edit
- In the anime, the Rinnegan was depicted as being multicoloured in its first few appearances. Once coloured manga illustrations of the Rinnegan were released, this was corrected.
- In Naruto: Shippūden episode 203, a silhouette of the Sage of the Six Paths is shown. Here, the Sage's Rinnegan is shown to be red instead of the usual colour.
- Rinne (輪廻; ; ; ) is the Japanese term for Samsara, the cycle of reincarnation or rebirth in several Indian religions. This is reflected in the names of all Six Paths of Pain, which share the names with Samsaric realms of reincarnation.

(To be fair, our stroller got much heavier use when we lived in the essentially pedestrian-only culture of Manhattan. Mack, on the other hand, child of suburbia, sat in a stroller maybe a grand total of 20 times in his life. The rest of the time we just lugged him around in our arms or, you know, shoved him in a duffle bag or something.)
OK, so out of no disrespect to Thing 3, one thing I told myself when we found out we were pregnant was that we were not getting a whole shitload of unecessary stuff this time. Mack was lucky enough to inherit a lot of stuff from Cal's tenure, but you'll remember that we basically liquidated all our baby gear after we moved here last Spring and so, with the exception of a few forgotten toys and some flannel receiving blankets that have since been turned into Absorbancy Rags of Unknown Origin, we're starting from scratch with the new kid. The new kid, who, despite receiving essentially no hand-me-downs from her brothers, will still be clothed in almost exclusively boys clothing for at least the first three months, simply because they were really, really, really on sale after Christmas.
However, there are a few things that I will shell out for again this time around, simply because they worked so well the first two times. Here is a partial list.
Mother's Milkmate Breast Milk Storage Rack and bottles
The caveat is that this rack system does take up some more space in your fridge, so you essentially have to clear a shelf (whatever, half a shelf) to fit it in. But I never got into that whole plastic baggie system (something with how floppy and flimsy they were bugged me, I kept spilling stuff everywhere--also it just seemed like a tremendous amount of waste over the course of a year) and the way the rack is designed makes it much easier, I think, for whatever non-me person was feeding the baby to actually keep straight in what order the milk was to be consumed. Anyway, it worked well for the other two. We'll be getting this system again for Thing 3.
Medela Symphony Breast Pump
This was the pump I used with Cal, at least for the first six months. I rented it from some lactationtrix in Manhattan who eventually moved to Westchester (necessitating the equipment return), and after that I bought the Medela Pump in Style, which I used for the rest of Cal's breastfeeding tenure (for whom I pumped for a year), and all of Mack's (for whom I pumped for 10 and a half months, because obviously I LOVE HIM LESS).
The Pump in Style was...well, it was fine. It got the job done. But in comparison, I do think the Symphony worked better. (I'm trying to phrase this in a way that won't squick out people who know me in person, but look, it just sucked out more milk, OK?) So this time around, I'll probably either rent the Symphony, or buy one and resell it afterwards. It's inadvisable, by the way to buy a used single-user pump like the Pump in Style or similar, but because the Symphony is a so-called "hospital grade pump," it's designed for multiple users and therefore is built with a closed system, meaning no human parts can mix with any of the machine parts. The downside of a hospital grade pump is that it is a tank. I know, I had to carry one back and forth to work on the subway for six months. Vertebral compression fractures, ho!
Sleeper Gowns
We had a ton of these lying around from Cal and Mack, and I think that they are great. They're basically big long muumuu-like gowns for newborns that don't have any zippers, buttons, snaps, nothing--just an elastic band that runs along the bottom seam that keeps the baby's legs semi-bundled. Diaper changes in the dark? So easy. Just pull up the bottom, and pull it back down. Also, they are adorable. The pair I showed above are Carter's brand, which seem to hold up the best (the quality of the cotton is very nice too), but a lot of brands make this kind of sleeper--Gerber makes the cheapest version, but they also have a cheaper fabric which means it's thinner and tends to shrink up quite a bit more. Anyway, it really doesn't matter, the baby's going to wear them for two months max and then they will bust out of them, Hulk-style. So by all means, get the cheap ones, just means you can have more lying around as extras for the inevitable GI spillage, above or below.
Prefold diapers
some of those cloth diaper covers are so damn cute I could plotz--but the fact of it is that given that I work full-time I'd feel pretty guilty about essentially inflicting the work and commitment of going cloth-diapers on someone else for most of the day. So we do disposable diapers. But we do have all these cloth diapers around, even to this day, almost seven years after Cal was born. Because they're very useful.
Look, I think I pretty much summed it up here: what you really, really need with a new baby is rags. Just, like, a pile of rags. And these are good rags. First of all, they're soft and smooth, so you can actually put them on or near the baby without worrying that they're too abrasive. Secondly, they're absorbant, owing to their original function. Third, they're small and stow neatly, so you can keep them in stacks everywhere. Lie one under the baby's head when they're sleeping in the crib. Or under they're butt when they're sitting in one of those chair bouncer things that necessitate all poop to shoot up from the top of the diaper. Stow a couple in your diaper bag to use as changing pads. Keep them in a basket in the living room near where you feed the kid. Boom, it's magical, turns potentially big laundry jobs into small ones. It's also great for cleaning regular things, like your kitchen counters and windows. Oh, and I guess maybe you could use them as diapers too, but I can't give you any advice on that, because I'm too busy killing the planet. Hats off to you cloth diaper parents out there, by the way. You're the real heros. (But! To be able to chuck that whole smelly poop diaper package away en bloc without having to scrape and rinse and soak anything! Priceless!)
How about you guys? What tried and true baby products--not necessarily expensive, but indispensable nonetheless--can you recommend?

This is really an honor code rule, since there's no way to enforce it, but forum battle hosts should pre-plot their moves for the turn before looking at other players' orders; otherwise they would gain an unfair advantage. I played the first turn of Project TBD without this rule, and ended up practically wiping out one faction. (I did a do-over when I realized how unfair that was).
I see nothing wrong with Pesgores being mod. I mean, he did invent the topic of this forum and all. And SOMEBODY needs to move the top thread for Project TBD to this forum.

Birthday season in the Caked Crusader family is well upon us; this week marks the halfway point and it's the turn of the CCM (Caked Crusader's Ma). I asked her what flavour she would like her cake to feature and was surprised to hear the reply of "chocolate or toffee". I would've bet anything on lemon!
Being a good daughter I know the importance of keeping the CCM happy so hunted for a recipe featuring both chocolate and toffee – and here it is! However good you think chocolate sticky toffee pudding cake will be, multiply that expectation by 10... and you're still nowhere close!
The flavours are clean and identifiable which pleased me; often, when you combine robust ingredients they get lost and the overall taste is indistinct. On a blind tasting you would guess that this was a chocolate sticky toffee pudding. I have to keep typing that – it's a wonderful collection of words!
I put the toffee sauce in the fridge - this is how thick it became:
Then, I whisked some of the toffee sauce into some whipped cream and piped it on top of the cake to add an extra element of naughty luxury to the dish. It worked really well – I feel that's somewhat a redundant statement...like anyone would read that sentence and say, "well that must've been a disaster"!
I had to take a photo of the elaborate candle I got for the cake. You light the centre and a plume of sparklers shoot up and out lighting all the candles on the flower petals which open, and then rotate playing "happy birthday". Classy? Perhaps not. Crowd pleasing? Oh yes! I think this photo really captures the speed of the rotating candles:
Happy birthday CCM
For the cake:
300ml boiling water
150g stoned dates, chopped
150g dark chocolate – I used Green & Blacks 70%
100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g light brown sugar
3 eggs
225g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
For the toffee sauce:
275g golden syrup
275g light brown sugar
100g unsalted butter
225ml double cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
To serve: whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Place the water in a saucepan and reduce to a simmer.
Add the chopped dates and leave for 10 minutes – still on a low simmer.
Melt the chocolate – I used a microwave – and put to one side.
Beat together the butter and sugar until paler and lighter. As it is brown sugar, it won't go as whippy as if you were using caster sugar but you should notice the texture lightening.
Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Stir in the melted chocolate.
Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder.
Stir in the dates and their liquid.
Pour the mixture (it will be runny) into the prepared tin and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mine took 55 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tin, on a wire rack. The cake will be very soft and trying to de-tin it too early may cause heartache!
Now make the toffee sauce: place all the ingredients into a saucepan (use a bigger saucepan than you think you'll need as the sauce increases significantly in volume while it's bubbling away) and heat, over a high heat, until the mixture comes to the boil. Stir regularly.
Let the mixture boil for approximately 5 minutes (still stirring) until the sauce is glossy.
Place the warm cake on the serving plate and pour some of the toffee sauce over the cake, putting the rest in a jug for people to serve themselves.
Alternatively, you can serve the cake at room temperature, also with some toffee sauce poured over the cake, and some whipped up with cream as a decadent extra treat!
Serve in generous slices.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

This is a First Draft:
If you're like me you when straight to the MMO-Champion talent calculator and missed some of the blue posts from Blizzard. If so then you might have missed an important comment.
While this is a first pass on all of the talent trees, death knight, druid, paladin, warlock, Arcane mage, and Assassination rogue trees are not as far along as other specializations.(src)
Not only is this a first draft for everyone, but the druid trees are a little bit more behind the curve then other classes and specs. If you feel yourself getting mad and unable to provide feedback in a constructive manner, try and remember this. I actually look at it as an advantage. We get to make our comments at an earlier stage of development then some other classes have been able to.
Moonkin Form vs Starsurge:
Two things popped out at when I first looked at the talent tree no MMO-Champion. There was no Moonkin Form in the tree and Starsurge was both in the tree and stated to be our level 10 ability. This confused me quite a bit (so much so I sent an email Lissanna asking her if she had a chance to look at it in the beta). Then I saw this blue post from Ghostcrawler.
We are experimenting between Moonkin Form and Starsurge being the level 10 bonus (the other will be the first active ability in the talent tree).(src)
I'm not sure where I come down on this debate. Neither one is an obvious choice to me.
Moonkin Form
Pros: There is no ability that defines the Balance tree more then Moonkin Form. It is also a very passive ability that is unlikely to confuse new players. Therefore, it makes some sense to provide it at very early level.
Cons: There is something Iconic about Moonkin form, and on a gut level I feel like players should have to work for it. I also wonder if giving new druids 5% crit and possibly 5% haste at level 10 is to powerful.
Pros: As I said last week, the knockdown could be very helpful for new moonkin. Plus, it gets the player used to a piece of the Eclipse mechanic at an early level.
Cons: Giving a new player 3 nukes by level 20 seems like a bit much.
Since which ever ability is not chosen for the level 10 ability will be the first talented ability in the balance tree its not like players will have to wait a long time to get either of them. If I had to choose, I would probably give Starsurge to the level 10 balance druid, since it is a little more useful.
Talent Tree Changes:
Assuming MMO-Champion got the trees right, here is a list of talents that got deleted since the last Beta build.
Nature's Majesty, Imp Moonfire, Celestial Focus, Nature's Reach, Nature's Splendor, Brambles, Vengeance, Dreamstate, Moonkin Form, Imp Moonkin Form, Typhoon, Earth and Moon, and Master Shapeshifter.
Many of these I expected to get removed. For some, like Imp Moonfire, Dreamstate, and Nature's Splendor I am a little surprised that they got removed, but not hugely. It was very surprising not to see Moonkin form at first until I read the Ghostcrawler comment above. That leaves me 3 talents I am very surprised to see gone.
Imp Moonkin Form: Even if Moonkin form becomes our level 10 ability I would still expect a talent to improve upon it at a higher level. Is it being incorporated into the baseline Moonkin form? Will we still provide the 5% caster haste buff?
Typhoon: This wouldn't surprise me if there was any indication Typhoon was becoming our level 10 ability, but there is not. Judging from comments made in the past, Blizzard obviously likes the Spell. Therefore, this makes me wonder if it is going baseline like Insect Swarm or if it was omitted from the table on accident.
Brambles: I've never been a big fan of this talent, but I am shocked to see it gone. It is relatively worthless for PvE, but I was under the impression that it was helpful for PvP. Given Blizzard's push for choice this seems like a very odd talent to cut. My guess is that it was omitted accidentally, but you never know.
My General Impressions:
It's a good thing that this is only the first pass on the new 31 point talent trees, because it feels very hollow and unfinished. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to fill out our trees and make them substantial.
Tier 2 Sucks: Tier 1 of the balance tree is pretty good because it provides real choices in the form of Nature's Grace and Starlight Wrath. Tier 2 feels like a deserted wasteland. I assume Moonglow will be necessary because Mana will be more important in Cataclysm, but I still think Lunar Justice sucks for everyone but the guy that is leveling.
I think there is something missing from the tier. Blizzard said that they wanted the first few tiers to have 8 slots for talent points and tier 2 has only 6. I also think it is a little strange that both talents in the tier are mana talents. I fully expect another talent to be added to this tier. Either a new talent or maybe bring back an old one like Brambles.
The Tree Still Lacks Options: Here is the base talent build that I was able to create in minutes that I am sure would be the standard if these trees went live. It takes every talent of any significance to a PvE moonkin and still leaves to talent points to spend in either Genesis, Lunar Justice, Owlkin Frenzy, Natural Shapeshifter, or Improved Rejuvination.
I think there is a contradiction in Blizzard's stated goals and their intended design of the new talent trees. The theme that Blizzard has been repeating since Blizzcon is choice, choice, and more choice, yet I am seeing none of it. In fact, Blizzard seems to be designing things to prevent choice. Take this comment that Ghostcrawler made last week:
Earlier levels have about 8 points on them (typically a 2, 2, 3) and deeper levels have about 5 points on them (typically a 1, 2, 3).(src)
If you need to spend 5 more talent points to advance to the next tier, how do you have any choice if you only have 5 slots for talent points in the current tier?
Yes, you could put the points in lower tiers, but it's not like those tiers are dramatically better.
Take tier's 4 and 5 for example. Euphoria, Force of Nature, and Lunar Guidance are all core talents, but I consider Solar Beam, Gale Winds, and Owlkin Frenzy to be very optional. Gale Winds has some obvious advantages in PvE but AoE isn't important for a majority of the fights. Solar Beam will also have some uses in PvE to silence adds, but that is a fairly rare need, and we all know how useless Owlkin Frenzy is in a PvE setting.
However, we are forced to put a point in Solar Beam or Gale Winds to advance up the tree to tier 5. Then we have to spend two points between Solar Beam, Owlkin Frenzy, or Gale Winds to advance to tier 6.
I am failing to see where I am making choices. At this point it feels like all Blizzard is doing a lot of hand waving. They say we are changing everything from Eclipse to talent trees, but all the changes appear to be purely cosmetic to me so far. I don't see anything that changes my choices or the way a moonkin will be played.
I realize we are still fairly early in the process, but at this point I've had enough sizzle. I'm ready for the steak.

They called us walking corpses
Unholy living dead
They had to lock us up
Put us in their British hell
Make sure your face is clean now
Can't have no dirty dead
All the corpses here are clean, boy
All the yanks in British hell
I don't wanna be here in your London dungeon
I don't wanna be here in your British hell
Ain't no mystery why I'm in misery in hell
Here's hoping you're swell
- The Misfits "London Dungeon"
It wasn't a London dungeon I visited yesterday but the House of Commons. Thanks to the wonderful Miss Emma of Dogen Sangha London I was treated to a full tour of the British government's most secret chambers. Well, maybe not so secret. There were tours of school kids in there as well. But they didn't get a personal escort! So there, you school kids! HA! Did you know they have a gigantic statue of Margret Thatcher in there?
I also had the opportunity to meet Morrisey. Uh, Richard Morrisey, that is. Another of Nishijima Roshi's Dhrama Heirs. Nice guy. He has nine kids! And yet he still seems sane.
And the most patient and tolerant Henrick and Janna took me around to find the famous zebra crossing in front of famous Abbey Road studios where The Beatles shot the famous photo that graces their famous final album. Our shot doesn't look quite as nice. But we had to work quickly since there were about 20 other groups of tourists trying to get the same photo.
And then, to round out a very long day I sat Zazen with Dogen Sangha London in the flat they use for their weekly sittings (which I've been using for my nightly sleepings). A very nice group. We talked and talked and talked and talked some more.
Today I'm headed off to Durham, where I have a public talk on Friday. The full info about the time and location and suchlike is in the link over there to your left that says "Brad's 2009 Tour Dates" or something like that.
The retreat last week at Haus Hornberg near Munich was also a lovely thing, as you can see from the smiling faces of all who attended as seen in the photo over there on your left. It was great to see Gabrielle Linebach, a long time student and Dharma Heir of Nishijima Roshi who translated the complete Shobogenzo into German. Gabrielle was one of the group who I first sat with at Nishijima's Saturday afternoon talks about a million years ago. We haven't seen each other in maybe 15 years. Her style of presenting Dogen's teachings is very different from mine. And yet I feel the basic core philosophy and practice is almost exactly the same. She said that she felt the so too. Weird, huh?
Good? Good! Now I have to go get showered and try to find the station where I pick up the train to Durham. And remember I'll be back in London on Saturday for a public talk at King's College and then in Bristol for another public talk a few days later. Details, as always, are in the link over there to your left.
See ya later, skaters!

For those looking for a notifications center, you might be in luck. Notifications is now available in the Windows Phone Store that should do the trick.
The downside to Notifications is that it's only available for Windows Phone 7.x devices (not sure about 7.8 devices though). The developer is trying to rectify that but it'll take some time.
You will need a companion program, Notification Center, running on your computer to complete the Windows Phone installation. Here's how to go about it.
- Install the Notification Center on your computer (that you can find here).
- Install the Notifications app on your Windows Phone (that you can find here).
- Run the Notifications Center on your computer and connect your Windows Phone to your computer.
- Let your Windows Phone sync with Zune then re-start your Windows Phone without disconnecting.
Once your Windows Phone re-starts you can disconnect and the Notifications app should be operational. That is, when you get a notification on your Windows Phone, it will be logged in the Notifications app and you'll get... well... a notification.
Installation went smooth and to be honest, I don't get many notifications and getting one to pop up could take all night (if not longer). If that should change, I'll let you know or if you try Notifications out and get a notification first, speak up in the comments.
The developer does note that if you were a Beta Tester who donated to the cause and your name is on the tester list, the app will be free. The cost is mainly due to the load cost of the Notification Center. There is a trial version available for Notifications and the full version is running $2.99.
Again, you can find Notifications here in the Windows Phone Store. Just keep in mind it is only compatible with Windows Phone 7 at this time.

Pharmaceutical crime
A major threat to public health
Pharmaceutical crime involves the manufacture, trade and distribution of fake, stolen or illicit medicines and medical devices. It encompasses the counterfeiting and falsification of medical products, their packaging and associated documentation, as well as theft, fraud, illicit diversion, smuggling, trafficking, the illegal trade of medical products and the money laundering associated with it.
We are seeing a significant increase in the manufacture, trade and distribution of counterfeit, stolen and illicit medicines and medical devices. Patients across the world put their health, even life, at risk by unknowingly consuming fake drugs or genuine drugs that have been doctored, badly stored or that have expired.
Illicit drugs can contain the wrong dose of active ingredient, or none at all, or a different ingredient. They are associated with a number of dangers and, at worst, can result in heart attack, coma or death.
The fight against counterfeit medicines is crucial in order to ensure the quality of products in circulation and to protect public health on a global scale.
The increasing prevalence of counterfeit and illicit goods has been compounded by the rise in Internet trade, where they can be bought easily, cheaply and without a prescription. It is impossible to quantify the extent of the problem, but in some areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America counterfeit medical goods can form up to 30% of the market.
The problem of organized crime
Organized criminal networks are attracted by the huge profits to be made through pharmaceutical crime. They operate across national borders in activities that include the import, export, manufacture and distribution of counterfeit and illicit medicines. Coordinated and cross-sector action on an international level is therefore vital in order to identify, investigate and prosecute the criminals behind these crimes.
An INTERPOL analytical report examines the links between pharmaceutical crime and organized crime. Download the public version of the report (published in July 2014).
INTERPOL's response
At INTERPOL, we are tackling this major problem in three main ways:
- Coordinating operations in the field to disrupt transnational criminal networks;
- Delivering training in order to build the skills and knowledge of all those agencies involved in the fight against pharmaceutical crime;
- Building partnerships across a variety of sectors.
If you would like to get involved with our work, please contact us.
Operation Pangea VIII
June 2015: Targeting the online sale of illicit medicines. More than 20 million units of illicit medicines seized, 550 illicit online adverts blocked and 2,400 illicit online pharmacies suspended.
Pharmaceutical Industry Initiative to Combat Crime
In an agreement worth EUR 4.5 million over three years, 29 of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies have joined with INTERPOL to raise public awareness of the dangers of fake medicines, and to boost the law enforcement response.

I am writing regarding the April 15 editorial, "Congress should let U.S. Postal Service cut costs, adapt, compete."
Thanks are in order for bringing this problem to our attention. I couldn't agree more with this well-written, timely editorial.
When I called the office of U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-3rd, I was told by the person answering the phone that they didn't know anything about it. Later, after he looked for more information, I was told that it was the decision of the postal service not to cut costs by eliminating Saturday mail delivery — that Congress had nothing to do with it.
When I argued this point and read the April 15 editorial to him, I was told that the proposed cuts were stopped because of the "will of the constituency."
Well, most people I know pay bills online, have automatic deposits to their bank accounts, and send and get e-mail enough that they don't really need to get mail on Saturday. The Saturday mail consists mainly of advertisements that we must recycle, as well as requests for money from various charities that certainly could wait until Monday.
Butler Eagle readers should be told which lawmakers had a hand in this debacle preventing the postal service from making the common-sense adjustments that are necessary to prevent us from having to pay higher taxes for further bailouts.

Installing and Configuring your Unit Test Environment
Web Test Environment (Selenium)
Please install our Web Tests environment if you intend to create or execute automated web tests with PHPUnit.
You'll need PEAR installed for the following steps to work. If you are on Linux simply install the corresponding package provided by your packaging system. If you are on Windows execute the "go-pear.bat" in the PHP installation directory and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you are on Linux you may also find some or all of the other required software pre-packaged for your distribution. Please check that before installing software manually.
On the command line execute
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
PKP Unit Test Framework
The PKP unit test framework can be checked out as part of the pkp library. You find it in pkp/tests.
You'll however have to use the unit test framework within an application to work properly.
Before starting your tests, please make copies of the files in "/lib/pkp/tests/config", remove the "TEMPLATES" placeholder and configure the pgsql and mysql database connection data.
Eclipse integration
Please see our Configure Eclipse for PHPUnit tutorial.
Developing Unit Tests
This is a very terse documentation of the PHPUnit features we usually use in our unit tests. It is meant to document PKP-specific usage of PHPUnit and as a cheat sheet for the most important PHPUnit functionality. It does not replace the PHPUnit manual. Please refer to the manual when you are using PHPUnit for the first time.
- Unit test classes are called after the class they are testing, e.g. the test to test the "Config" class would be "ConfigTest".
- PHPUnit works well with our usual PKP file name nomenclature. Files are named after the test class name with a ".inc.php" postfix, e.g. the ConfigTest class would be found in the file "ConfigTest.inc.php".
- We'll use the same folder structure inside the tests directory that we use for the classes we test.
- Tests for PKP library classes will be in "lib/pkp/tests". Tests for PKP application classes will be in "/tests".
Which base class to extend
- Unit tests that require database access extend "DatabaseTestCase".
- All other test cases extend "PKPTestCase".
Test Documentation
- One of the functions of a test case is documenting the class specification in a very detailed and precise way. Please make sure that your source code contains enough method and inline documentation so that an outsider can quickly understand how the class' API is to be used. This is not necessary if the test method name speaks for itself.
- Use a @see annotation in the class comment that points to the tested class.
How to test exceptions
- A test method that is annotated with "@expectedException ExceptionClass" will fail if it does not throw the declared exception.
What if my test class calls a DAO?
We always try to test classes with as little dependencies as possible. We want our unit tests to concentrate on one class without relying on the functionality of other classes.
An example: We do not want to rely on a functioning database infra-structure when testing application objects that draw data from the DAO application layer.
Luckily PHPUnit provides us with a very elegant and lean solution to this dependency problem. See the following test code for an example:
class SubmissionTest extends PKPTestCase { [...] public function testGetUser() { // Our system under test (SUT) $submission = new Submission(); $submission->setUserId(5); // Mock the UserDAO $mockUserDAO =& $this->getMock('UserDAO', array('getUser')); DAORegistry::registerDAO('UserDAO', $mockUserDAO); // Set up the mock getUser() method $result = new PKPUser(); $result->setId(5); $mockUserDAO->expects($this->once()) // getUser should be called once ->method('getUser') ->with($this->equalTo(5)) // expected input ->will($this->returnValue($result)); // mock output // The following assertion will pass if and only if the following // conditions are met: // * UserDAO->getUser() is called exactly once // * UserDAO->getUser() is called with one parameter equal to 5 // * $submission->getUser() returns exactly the object we return from // our mock object. self::assertEquals($result, $submission->getUser()); } [...] }
See the chapter about mock objects in the PHPUnit manual for further details.
What if my test class depends on calls to static class methods?
From a testing point of view, static method calls are evil. It is impossible to mock static method calls with the system under test being unaware of it. Static method calls are not so nice for other reasons as well: They make it difficult to "drop in" different implementations of a class at runtime. This restricts design flexibility and code maintainability. It is usually better to use the Singleton pattern instead.
If you cannot avoid static method calls at all then you can manually create a mock class that will be included rather than the standard PKP implementation:
- create a file called "Mock<Classname>.inc.php" in the same directory as your unit test class.
- in this file implement a mock version of <Classname>.
- implement only the methods required either during PKP framework initialization or for your own test.
- the test framework will automatically drop in the mock class instead of the original class
Here is an example for a mock Locale class. The class is placed in the file MockLocale.inc.php in the "/lib/pkp/tests/classes/submission" directory.
class Locale { /* * method required during setup of * the PKP application framework */ function initialize() { // do nothing } /* * method required during setup of * the PKP application framework * @return string test locale */ function getLocale() { return 'de_DE'; } /* * method required during setup of * the PKP application framework */ function registerLocaleFile($locale, $filename, $addToTop = false) { // do nothing } /** * Mocked method * @return array a test array of locales */ function getLocalePrecedence() { return array('de_DE', 'en_US'); } }
PHPUnit annotations
Annotations have to be declared where they apply.
Please see the PHPUnit manual for details on each annotation.
Declaring Coverage
The @covers annotation indicates to the test coverage analyser the class or method to be covered by a given unit test. The @covers annotation is mandatory for all tests. The function format is always preferable to the class format. You'll very rarely write unit tests that cover a whole class.
- method format: @covers ClassName::methodName
- class format: @covers ClassName
Documenting Test Dependency
The @depends defines a logical dependency of one test case from another. You use the depends annotation if you want to document such dependency or if you want to use results from one test case as input to another test case. Test execution order is only dependent on the order of the methods in the test class, not on the @depends annotation.
Running Unit Tests
If you have followed our tutorial to Configure Eclipse for PHPUnit then running tests will be very easy.
Select the test file you want to execute. You can do this in two ways.
- Select the editor tab that contains the test class:
- Select the file with the test class in the project explorer
Make sure that the file / edit tab is marked blue as in the screen shots. Otherwise you'll get an error when executing your test.
Next you have to decide whether you want to simply run or whether you want to debug your test.
- To run your test select the phpunit-ext external tool configuration from the external tools' favorites drop-down:
You can see the test's output in the console view.
- To debug your test set breakpoints at appropriate places in the code, then select the phpunit debug configuration from your debug configurations' favorites drop-down:
You can see test results in the "Debug Output" view. Sometimes the console output is not complete in the debug output. Use the external tool if you want the complete console output.
That's it. Now you're ready to develop and execute your tests. Enjoy!
What if my test fails with an error?
You've got various possibilities to debug your test. Usually the test will show a backtrace when there was an error. If this is not the case then have a look in "tests/results/error.log". Errors that occur within the PKP library will be logged there.
If this still doesn't help then try to debug your test. Set a break point and execute the debugger. See Configure Eclipse for PHPUnit for debug configuration instructions.
Installing and Configuring the Build Environment
On the command line execute
pear channel-discover pear.phing.info pear install phing/phing
