That literally happened to a co-worker of mine today. A client of his was having chest pains and called my co-worker to talk about it, telling him that he would wait until after six to leave work and go see somebody about it.
My co-worker, who has had a heart attack of his own, very calmly talked to him in a very loud voice to get off talking to him and call 911 and get an ambulance to his work site NOW!!!!!
Guy did and they took him to the hospital. Don't know the results yet since this happened about an hour before 5.

Best of luck to the client. Severe chest pain is serious business.
Well I went o my meeting... then I decided to come home instead of go to the Coffee Shop that has faster WiFi for downloading a certain 1 gig file. No I have nothing else to do. Woop woop! 11 PM EST.....

just to be sure...water DOES eventually boil, right?
Yes, and poking the pot with your finger makes it boil sooner.
Actually, adding a few boiling chips or a curved metal disk to the pot makes water boil a little faster (and more evenly), but then you have to make sure they don't end up in your dish.
Huh. Wikipedia calls the metal disk contraption a milk watcher. Who knew?
Edit: Okay, they don't usually speed up boiling, except when they initiate boiling in liquid that would have otherwise kept heating until it became supercritical.
Edit 2: Cooling liquids can become supercritical, too. Watching a bottle of water suddenly freeze is neat, and much less dangerous than watching water suddenly flash boil within splash range of your face.

lid helps - it keeps heat in so boils quicker and avoids splash damage
It does increase the partial pressure of gaseous water in the air under the lid, but it also traps the heat energy. As water heats up, more and more of it volatilizes, carrying that energy with it and away from the rest of the liquid water. The lid effectively stops this process. (I had to look this up- its been too long since Chem 101)

I think he means the name of the placeholder, as the blog won't be coming in the afternoon at all ;)

Wiigii! Saying up late pays off!!
Rotter's Hole is a fantastic name for a settlement of its kind.
Are there multiple effects (spells/tricks/etc.) to load into our spell books, holy symbols, rogue kits and trophies, or just one per implement, like in Alpha 5?
Does the game have functioning OR logic now, so that all clerics don't have to take the Glory domain, etc.? From the blog, it sounds like at least some OR conditions exist now.

Will people be able to train in Rotters Hole? If so, then not sure if I like it that low-rep people already get a "way out" for killing players, while all of the other features that should be the real incentive for PvP are not in yet: Feuds, Wars, Factions, SAD(Bandits vs Merchants).
I understand the need to test PvP though, without pretty much disabling your character as it is now, so I guess this is a case of a Rock and a Hard Place.
I think I am going to stay very far away from Rotters Hole. Which is probably something that people should learn anyway: to avoiod certain places. :)
Btw, love the name too. ;)
Look forward to reading the blog later this morning! And having a game to play in the early afternoon :)

Rotter's Hole is a cool name, but before the wipe, you will not find me there.
I will take little or no part in what amounts to Arena Style PVP. If I choose to play a low rep toon, I will do all of my killing in the wilderness and my socializing in Rotter's Hole.
