Obligatory DotA Thread

Soon this forum will be a forgotten place, shrouded in cobwebs and lost in time until one day a ship comes. A chamber will be found with jars of strange black goo and Boe will be woken up from stasis and respond by trying to kill everyone. It will basically end with Carebear flying off with Vontre's head.

What is the best ability skillup path for Puck solo mid?
Level 1 phase shift
Level 2 Illusory Orb
You get those 2 spells first so that you can guarantee winning auto-attack exchanges by disjointing projectiles.
After that you can choose to max orb or waning rift depending on how you want to play. Waning rift max is more mana efficient for nuking by a small amount, but has the downside of needing to be on top of the enemy to do the damage. Waning rift also has better kill potential because of the extended silence duration. Orb is better if you're going to try to do damage from range (like if you were laning against a melee hero) and rarely venture in to rift.
I don't think I've ever gotten shit for maxing one over the other, it just depends on how you see yourself playing going into the midgame. Once you get blink dagger, having rift maxed is generally better than orb. Also, personal observation that people generally underestimate your rift damage if you max it over orb because I think newbies generally max orb first. That gives the orb -> jaunt -> rift combo a little more kill potential.
Get your ult when possible and max your nukes before phase shift and then max phase shift before stats.
note: You would obviously not get phase at level 1 if you're going to be trying to kill middle at level 1 or you don't need it to win exchanges (e.g. Shadow Fiend) and instead want to force the hero out of the lane. Most games you will be getting phase shift at level 1 though.

Not sure how good that advice is in general, but it made me feel more confident hanging out in what otherwise would have been dangerous positions.
Posted 25 August 2013 - 05:54 PM
Specifically against pudge hook, I don't know. The hard part of dodging hook is reacting in time when it's thrown. I don't think it's really possible to phase shift too early with a level 1 shift. A better example might be when laning against a gyrocopter and you want to be able to avoid rocket barrage damage.
It's always good to remember that the recommended skill builds are created for people who can do this.

After watching TI3 I pretty much stopped going bottle first mid (I only play AR.) I figure stats + regen is a better idea. Any heroes I should actually bottle first on?
With AR gold, sure. Something you know you get rune control with. QoP with bottle, 3 branches, and some tangos.
Posted 25 August 2013 - 10:07 PM
Definitely do not get a bottle first with regular starting gold.

Probably Zeus, since his attack animation is really long and some people would rather spam arc lightning for last hits. However, it might be better to get regen/some stats and clarities.

I was thinking exactly this - when I get Zeus solo mid I do go bottle but I skill up W and E only generally if I'm against an INT or AGI mid, because his W just puts out stupid damage early game. It's not ideal for last hitting but all I'm really going for is kills/ganks early. It's probably a terrible strat but I do have a 78% winrate with Zeus so outcome-based theory and all that.
e: perhaps different threads for different roles would be a good idea?

Older question asked about puck was answered fairly accurately though I see very few cases where more than 1 point in phase early is needed especially given how far it sets back your early burst.

The 2010 CASCADE for "Making a Difference"
At their 8th annual Awards Gala held in Montréal (Québec), on May 7, the Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC) announced the 2010 winners of the CASCADE Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in science and technology engagement by its members. Nominations for Making a Difference are adjudicated by the CASC Board of Directors. This award recognizes an individual engaged directly in program or exhibit delivery who has made a significant difference to their colleagues and their public visitors.
Dr. David Pantalony has made a difference to the Canada Science and Technology Museum by bringing a fresh approach to learning using the scientific instrument collection. Among his other contributions, by initiating the museum's first-ever Reading Artefacts Summer Institute, David brought together students, curators and other experts to learn how to discover the stories behind scientific instruments in the collection in a 5 day intensive learning experience. The result has opened up a new avenue of collaborative teaching for the museum. David has a PhD from the University of Toronto's Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology and a post-Doctoral position at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. He has also worked as curator at the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis. When he joined CSTM in 2006, David assumed responsibility for the physical science and medical collections – some 7,000 objects.
The 2009 Reading Artefacts Summer Institute brought together 25 participants, CSTM curatorial staff and four other specialists. Introduced to a so-called mystery instrument at the beginning, over five days participants were gradually given access to more sources of information. The response was unanimously positive. David's vision and energy has made the museum artefact collection even more relevant to visitors, staff, and researchers alike. Thank you David, for making a difference to the Canada Science and Technology Museum and to the Canadian Association of Science Centres community.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton police are standing behind the Alberta government's decision not to seek an extradition order for a convicted sex offender who police say fled Canada for the United States.
"The Edmonton Police Service receives its direction from the Crown on these matters, and supports their decision," police said in a news release Sunday.
Police have been trying to track down Michael Stanley since Oct. 1 when the electronic monitoring bracelet he was wearing was cut off. The bracelet was found on the roof of a business in Lloydminster, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary.
Edmonton police said they have been sharing information with Seattle police, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security and U.S. marshalls to help minimize the potential risk Stanley poses.
On Saturday, a spokesman for Alberta's justice department said that although Michael Stanley has a criminal record of violent offences, the charges he is currently wanted for aren't severe enough to justify asking American authorities to turn him over.
"Mr. Stanley is not currently charged with any offences of violence in Canada," Dan Laville said in an email. "The charges currently against him do not typically warrant engaging the extradition process. We advised our federal counterparts of the decision (Saturday) afternoon."
An arrest warrant was issued for Stanley on charges of breach of recognizance, mischief and driving offences. Police issued a public alert describing the Edmonton man as an untreated, violent sex offender posing a significant risk to the community.
Concern over Stanley prompted several schools in west-central Saskatchewan to lock their doors after RCMP received several unconfirmed sightings of Stanley, but on Oct. 7, police in Lethbridge found his vehicle in the city and warned the public that he could be in the area.
Police subsequently said that Stanley had managed to cross into Blaine, Wash., south of Vancouver, but they said they were "confident" of his location and they had notified U.S. authorities.
However, the U.S. Marshal's office said Friday it wasn't tracking Stanley and was unaware of his whereabouts. Jack Williams, acting deputy chief of the U.S. Marshal Service in Seattle, said Stanley is not wanted by American authorities and without a Canadian extradition request there was little his office could do.
A court order required Stanley to wear the ankle bracelet because of his previous criminal record, but removing it would not justify seeking extradition, Laville said.
"This order required him to wear an ankle bracelet and is not a criminal charge and cannot ground an extradition. The only charges Mr. Stanley currently faces relate to the removing of his bracelet," Laville said, but added authorities on the border will be on the lookout should Stanley decide to return.
"If Michael Stanley returns to Canada, we are prepared to prosecute him and to ensure that he continues to be subject to an order to protect the public."

Unethical as it may seem, what does the law say about this? Led by the state of Maryland, which became the first state to ban employers...

Whether you're looking to diversify your product line or leverage cheaper-made merchandise, selling imported goods in the U.S. can be an important ingredient in small business success. Interestingly enough, importing doesn't always necessarily cannibalize the economy here at home.

Whether you're starting a business from home or looking to move into a home office, it's important not to overlook the fact that your business is still subject to license and permit laws. Why? One of the main reasons any business owner is required to carry a license is so that revenue can be tracked for taxation purposes. Businesses that sell taxable goods or services also need a sales tax license or permit. Licenses and permits are also used to protect the public and are required in federally regulated industries (aviation,...

Deadly deer mouse?: The main vector for hantavirus is the deer mouse, which lives in many states in the U.S.
Image: Wikimedia Commons/James Gathany
Earlier this week the World Health Organization issued a global warning to travelers who might have come into contact with the deadly hantavirus while staying in Yosemite National Park in California. So far, three* people have died and at least half a dozen more have been sickened by the virus, which causes pulmonary distress. The outbreak is unusual in that cases of the virus are usually solitary and most have come from the high desert areas in or near New Mexico.
Most victims likely picked up the infection while staying in insulated tent cabins that were infested with mice, which carry the disease. The U.S. National Park Service estimates that as many as 10,000 people might be at risk of having been exposed to the disease since early June. And it has urged anyone who stayed in the "Signature Tent Cabins" in Yosemite's Curry Village to be vigilant about looking for flulike symptoms, which can signal the onset of the illness. The virus can take as long as six weeks to incubate.
The infection was initially described in New Mexico about 20 years ago. It is exceedingly rare, with only about 600 documented cases in the U.S. But it is extremely deadly, killing more than one in three people who contract it.
The deer mice (Peromyscus) and other rodents that have been known to carry the disease, however, are by no means limited to high desert or mountainous areas and can be found throughout North America. So does that mean hantavirus could spread to other parts of the country?
To find out, we spoke with Charles Chiu, director of the Abbott Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center and an associate professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the University of California, San Francisco. He explains what we know about hantavirus and what he and his colleagues are rushing to figure out in light of this latest outbreak.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
What, exactly, is hantavirus?
Hantavirus is a very rare virus that's spread through contact with rodents. In the western U.S., it causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a devastating pneumonia. There is also another disease associated with hantavirus, which is rarely found in the U.S. but is more often found in Central and South America: hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
How is the respiratory form of hantavirus spread?
It is acquired through contact with rodents, most commonly by inhaling dust that's contaminated with rodent droppings or urine. Less often, it can occur from a bite from a rodent. The main rodent that spreads this is the deer mouse.
Was hantavirus likely around before its formal description in the early 1990s?
The evolutionary data suggest that it's been around for hundreds or thousands of years. This is not a common infection, and probably a large factor in this is that there are no documented cases of human-to-human infection, so it's not contagious.
Hantavirus is usually thought of as an illness from desert areas of the Southwest, like New Mexico. Is this the first time it has sickened people in another region?
It was originally described in the Four Corners region of New Mexico in the high desert. But more than half of the states have reported cases. The cases have all been associated with wild rodents, which have been detected in every state.

text: With Super Bowl weekend off I was desperate to find a shoot. My wishes were answered when one of my editors from ESPN.com called and asked if I wanted to travel to Las Vegas to shoot UFC 94. I knew nothing about the sport, haven't even watched it before but of course I acted like I knew about it and gladly accepted the gig. From there it was time to start asking friends with experience how to shoot it.

Texas 30, Texas Christian 7: Malcolm Brown rushed for a pair of scores as the Longhorns survived a 3 hour, 6 minute weather delay to come away with a road win over the Horned Frogs.Case McCoy, who made his fourth start this season in place of David Ash, threw two interceptions but compensated with 228 yards passing and a score for Texas (5-2, 4-0 Big 12), which has won four straight. Marcus Johnson had 120 yards receiving with a touchdown and Johnathan Gray added 94 yards rushing.Casey Pachall saw his most playing time of the season against Texas but completed 13-of-34 passes for 139 yards and had an interception for TCU (3-5, 1-4 Big 12), which has lost two consecutive games. LaDarius Brown had the Horned Frogs' only touchdown and finished with 87 yards receiving on seven catches.Trevone Boykin started under center for the Horned Frogs but was replaced in the first quarter after his fumble set up a rushing touchdown for the Longhorns. McCoy's 65-yard touchdown pass to Johnson gave Texas a 17-7 lead before officials delayed the game at the 6:08 mark in the second quarter because of lightning in the area.TCU came out flat following the delay as the offense was forced to punt six straight times and Brown's second rushing touchdown padded the Longhorns' lead to 20 with 9:20 remaining in the third quarter. The Horned Frogs were unable to convert back-to-back interceptions by McCoy into points toward the end of the third quarter and Anthony Fera made his third field goal of the night to put the game away.GAME NOTEBOOK: Halftime was shortened to three minutes because of the delay. … Texas WR Jaxon Shipley has a reception in all 30 career games. … TCU entered the game averaging 25.3 points.

You ever notice that when you're really working hard and hustling, good things start to happen to you? Opportunities come out of nowhere, you reconnect with people that can help you, and things fall into your lap?
Well, I don't think it actually works like that.
Opportunities are always happening. But when you're focused and going hard at it, you're tuned to capitalizing on and seizing opportunities.
The worldwide GDP is 70 trillion dollars. 192 billion dollars changes hands each day. These are inconceivably large numbers.
The opportunities are always there. Working hard makes you tune in to them, and capitalize on them.

The balanced Score care approach is nothing new, it has been floating around organizations for some time now and provides a balanced view for organizational performance. Who looks at this? Well really you do. As much as some would like t0 think that Councils and District level leadership are actively engaged in what goes on at the unit level (and I am talking Pro staff here, not volunteer) the fact of the matter is that where the rubber hits the road, the unit leadership are really the only leaders dedicated 100% to their units. That is not to say that District, Council, and even National leadership could care less. It is just that they have different fish to fry. They are concerned at the "Big" organizational level in areas of membership, fundraising, and policy. And that is fair. Hey, I don't want to think about that stuff, I want to go camping. So the Journey to Excellence program is a tool that ensures our units are meeting the mark as we can measure our programs. I think this is important to make sure that we all are delivering the promise of Scouting in a uniform manner.
Last month I attended the National meetings of the BSA in San Diego. The Assistant Chief Scout Executive for Council Operations Gary Butler gave a great talk at the Scoutmaster dinner. In his talk he gave the analogy of Starbucks coffee. He said that when you order a coffee at Starbucks in Seattle it tastes like the same cup in New York City, or Atlanta, or Boston.. the message is that the coffee is the same where ever you go and that is part of business model of Starbucks. The Promise of Scouting is just like that cup of coffee. It needs to be the same consistent program, delivered in many ways, but the same program throughout the Boy Scouts of America. We have great outline, but Scouters choose not to use it. The Journey to Excellence program attempts to bring some of that back in line.
Now, I know that many of you, myself included, do not like to view the BSA as a business. Certainly not at the unit level. But just like every organization if certain measures are not in place, lets say for growth, for financial stability, for improvements in the program, the organization will fail.
Remember a couple posts ago, I shared that I knew a unit that was a Quality unit every year, but then it just folded? It is because they did not have a plan to grow and stay fit. They took it year to year and hoped that the Cub Scout pack would just continue to "Feed them". They did not have a stable financial plan, they did not have a plan to assist the youth leadership… and yet they were "always a quality unit".
None of us want to see our units fail. JTE is a week to week, month to month, year to year tool that sets on a Journey to Excellence.
OK.. 500 words in and not a word about camping.. so lets talk just a little about Short term and Long term camping as it applies to the JTE.
You all understand that Short term equates to weekend camp outs and long term camping refers to those week long (or longer) camping opportunities such as Summer camp, Jamboree's, High Adventure base participation. Now I think the BSA set the bar low on this one, and so many if not all of us will automatically qualify at the Gold level when it comes to short term camping. Bronze = 4 camp outs throughout the year. Yeah, that is not a typo.. I wrote 4. Silver requires a unit to camp 8 times and to achieve the Gold standard you need to camp at least 10 times. Like I said.. I think we all have this one in the bag. And for the Gold level you get 200 points for just doing what we all do, and that's camp.
Now I think it is interesting how the JTE handles long term camping. You will qualify for the bronze level if your unit attends a long term camp.. lets call it summer camp. You will achieve Silver level status if 60% of your Scouts attend Summer camp (or another long term opportunity). And it only takes 70% of your unit attending camp to achieve Gold level status. I recently had a small discussion on Camp staff with some Scouters that I consider "In the know". We debated on whether a Scout that serves on camp staff is counted in that percentage. And the answer according the definitions of JTE is this; " Boy Scouts attending any in council or out of council long term summer camp (of at least three days and nights), high adventure experience, jamboree, or serve on camp staff within the past year". The part that really weirds me out on this is the three days and nights. But not to worry, most if not all summer camps run a week. No problems there.
The bottom line is that camping is where Scouting happens. It is where the Patrol method is executed, it is where teaching happens, it is where the boys can be boys and learn, practice, and teach skills. Camping, I am sure you will agree is what most think about when we talk Scouting.
Next time we will dive into the Patrol Method.
Thanks for the emails, you can email me anytime. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
8 thoughts on "JTE.. More"
Interesting thoughts on the JTE.
I, for one, appreciate the way the JTE is constructed (much better than the QU). I think it makes an excellent self-assessment tool but I am less interested in the idea of ranking units against each other this way.
Will this make program delivery more uniform? Will it actually have a direct benefit to living, breathing Scouts? I think the potential is there.
Is this just another numbers juggling exercise to leverage donations and somehow advance the interests of 'Council' or 'National'?
I suggest that Scoutmaster's view this as a tool for self-assessment and focus on results oriented changes that the JTE indicates in your unit. What happens with the numbers and ratings once they leave your unit are less of a concern.
I am going to agree with you. Jerry, this was my initial hesitation on the whole % thing. I have a great District and Council. My DEs are fantastic (one is an Eagle Scout from my Troop) and our SE is one of the best. That being said, I know their main job is numbers…percentages of growth, number of units, etc. And these are the good Professionals…what of the Districts not so fortunate. I like the idea of QU/JTE patch for the Scouts to wear proudly and it gives them some goals to shoot for. Maybe I've attended too many District/Council meetings and see the focus on numbers and such. I should just accept it for what it is, an opportunity to self assess…
Bryan -
Jerry, I am SM of a failing unit. I took over a troop of 15 scouts 3 years ago, worked on the program, got the boys in leadership to actually take a leadership role, had the boys plan the yearly camping schedule, etc. But I got 1 or 2 new boys per year into the troop. Now, due to some boys aging out and others going to the big troop down the road, I have 4 scouts. For 2 and a half years I have gone to the District Director asking for help. I asked the district commissioner for help.
Our district leaders cannot do much except give me lists of former scouts to call and try to recruit. That has brought us 1 scout in 2 years. Our district leaders have not been much help. There is no effort here to help struggling troops to recruit. There is no training program we can take, nor anyone who can come in to the troop to give us advice. No unit commissioners, no other volunteers. We cannot even get an accurate list of cub scout leaders, as they are usually not in place until about October of any given year.
My point is, the council and district officers and professionals can have all the statistics and unit information they need about unit programs, but if they are not set up or motivated to even contact the unit leaders, then the whole exercise of JTE or Quality Unit, or whatever, is pointless. No one is looking at my unit. No one is coming to my unit, no one can help my unit. Sigh.

Director Guillermo del Toro has said that there will not be a Hobbit game tie-in with the upcoming movie at launch.
"It's too ambitious to try and tackle that along with 'The Hobbit', he told MTV. "We have such tight release dates."
Guillermo says that he and Peter Jackson will have a part in the eventual game, but from a writer's standpoint, it's too tough to be as heavily involved in it as he'd like at this time.
We can now all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Bell's Scotch Whiskey, unsure of age
My fiancé and I were given this bottle of Bell's Scotch Whiskey by his old roommate. I've been trying to look online to find out how old this bottle may be, and what may be the value. From what I've read on other websites, the bottle design came out in the 1950's.. 1960's. Other photos I've found online show the volume proof on one side of the bottle label as well as how large the bottle is on the opposite side. On the bottle we have, it only states the size of the bottle and on the other side where the volume proof description should be it says "contents." If anyone has further information on this bottle I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are photos of the bottle. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...z/Photo1-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...z/Photo1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...z/Photo1-3.jpg |
Cool bottle! Thanks for the photo links - we will see if we can have it dated for you.

Thank you. Really appreciate it!
Our contact from Diageo (they hold the records of Arthur Bell & Sons, as well as the companys bottle and decanter collection) tells us your decanter is part of the Brown and Gold series of decanters which were on **** between the 1950s and 1988. The best way to date your decanter is to look at the stamp on the bottom, these refer to the different ceramics companies who have made the Bells decanters for us over the years. If your decanter has Royal Doulton on the bottom of it, this means it was produced in the 1950s, if it has Spode on it then it was produced between 1960 and 1965 and if it has Wade on it, this means it was produced sometime between 1965 and 1988, when the design was changed.
If you are interested in finding out about the value of your decanter, you can look online at the Bells decanter register http://www.bellsdecanters.co.uk/ this is a club for people who collect Bells decanters. If you go to the ****s page and then look at Brown and gold then you will see decanters like yours for ****, and how much they are being **** for. If you look at the grading system of valuations on this site, you will be able to see which grade of value fits your decanter. If you would like a professional valuation, please email your images to either of these auction houses: http://www.bonhams.com/ or http://www.mctears.co.uk/

R1 for the YOLO tournament ends today; do you and your opponent plan on playing soon? Or do you need an extension?
just message me anytime you are online in thursday to sunday. i will be contiously checking the forums for your response.
i'm available now if you are. if not, then alright—i'll vm you on one of those days. it'll more likely be saturday or sunday since i won't be home for long on thanksgiving.

you can't tell if i'm online by my settings. i am online right now at this moment, but for the last time, saying right now does not help because i am likely not going to see your message. give me an hour range where you will be on. i am going on showdown now. please find me under harsha. i am voiced.
alright i've been on showdown for the last 2 hours and 30 minutes and it doesn't look like you're going to get on. i have to go out now, if i get back and see you on we can play. if not then i'm not sure how we will get this done.
i have to reiterate: you can't just say "lets play right now" in any tournament here. that's a surefire way to lose on activity. just respond with your available times over the week and schedule a time.
harsha, just like you im not on showdown or the forums 24/7, you just gave up in less than 10 minutes to fight me. SMH
Stop complaining and give me an available time if you want to play. Stop fishing for an activity win by claiming activity because posting I'm on showdown does not count as scheduling a match. I will be able to use my computer all day today but I would like to go to bed before 11 gmt -6. If there is a time today you can play, please let me know ASAP.

I saw this in the shop at £60. At that price you can get a better product from Fat Face or White Stuff. Went in the next day and it was reduced to £25. At that price it is good value. It is much warmer than I envisaged. Looks like it will wear well as it is essentially sweatshirt material.
10/04/2013 10:28:28
perfect colour. could be a little longer as I am 6 foot 2 inches tall so it looks a little short in the body. This is a common problem with current styles from all major outlets. Someone somewhere will eventually realise that not all men are of medium height and with medium length arms.
01/06/2013 20:17:17
Comfortable and pleased; like the colour on the collar and quality zip and 100% cotton. Personally wanted for Spring, Autumn and cool evening so would have liked a little thicker but don't me wrong it's thicker than the equivalents from more fashionable stores and would buy again.
09/04/2013 18:52:57
As usual,I received first class service from the staff. They always invite me check out all the offers and if I had more money I would do so. It,s a very good shop and I shall be back and tell all my friends.
21/10/2013 10:08:19
I bought the red online to go with the brown and blue ones that I bought in your Durham shop. Ideal over a teeshirt when just knocking around the house, or as an additional layer when outside.
15/06/2013 04:23:03
We really liked the top, but the XXL we bought was no way a XXL. We bought a L size in a different style, and they were almost the same size. (Other XXL's from here have fitted fine.)
13/05/2013 10:20:47
Nice quality fleece, very smart and casual - a bit more heavy duty material than lighter weight fleeces so some wind resistance as well. Nice detailing around collar.
14/06/2013 20:06:51
I went in to buy a jacket for myself and bought this for my husband at the same time - he hasn't worn it yet, but thinks it will be great for cool summer nights!!
03/07/2013 10:20:30
OK its not Fat Face but its a third of the price and comfortable, well made and stylish for outdoor clothes genre anyway. I expect to get 3 years out of it.
08/06/2013 10:00:06
Felt very comfortable and very good quality materiel. The very good price made it even better. i will definitely buy again from Mountain Warehouse.

I live in the country side and often take the dogs for walks over the hills, and wanted a top to keep me warm when the wind picked up.

Happy with the product that I bought as a gift, however the size was a little small so have returned to replace with a larger one.

Hmmmm, I've spent way too much time on trying to understand SezWho today and I'm supposing I'm dumb as a box of rocks cause I just don't get it and I don't think mine is working right anyway. Needing to rate comments and such is going to take a good amount of time. I really would like to comment on more blogs but along with this it's going to take even more time............I dunno 'bout this.

I use haloscan and I don't know how to take it off...so I am stuck with it. I use dumb as a box of rocks all the time, that, and color me stupid! I agree with you, I don't think I have the time for rating comments..heck I don't even have the time to comment most days.

I don't think I want to do it. I really don't want peeps rating my blog posts or comments and I don't want to rate theirs. Now if it is a business blog or something and someone wants to do that, then yeah that is fine. But, as far as my personal life, it's mine and I don't want it rated. I am the one that lives it. Ya know what I mean MamaFlo?

I have been using SezWho for a while now, and it is actually something pretty helpful. It doesn't really add to my comment time because I usually skim through and read them anyway, so when I see something I like, I just give it a thumbs up. I most definitely don't rate every comment, just the ones that I personally enjoyed.

Thanks for raising this I spent a bit of time looking at Sezwho this morning too and left feeling undecided.
I think Entrecard has dropped off quite a lot anyway and I'm with Callie Ann - I don't want my life rated!!!
Anyway... I'll see how it goes for others I think... - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 4:16:00 AM CDT

I haven't figured it out yet either, but then again I haven't really tried LOL. I added it but haven't got a clue what it's suppose to do for me.
I don't comment nearly as much as I would like, could be because half the time I just read blogs and am tired or in a daze and typing out a comment just seems like too much right then LOL. But I read and that's what counts right? LOL - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 10:52:00 AM CDT
- haleyhughes said...
I'm giving it the good old college try. Can always uninstall it if I don't like it. I'm not thrilled at all the ratings stuff, though.
On thing on comments unrelated to Sezwho. There's a cool feature in Blogger in Draft that lets you insert the comment box inside your actual page. I highly recommend this feature. Go to draft.blogger.com and log in to your dashboard. Under settings and comments you'll see an option for Comment Form Placement and select Embedded below post. Very simple and clean. - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 11:08:00 AM CDT
- Theresa Komor said...
Yeah, I'm with you all on this one. I don't want my comments rated, or my posts. It just feels too much like waiting for a test back to see my grade, if you know what I mean. So far, I haven't seen any really good reason to put it on my blogs.
I did this embedded comment form on my blogs too. I love it! THIS is what invites comments! - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 12:14:00 PM CDT
- MamaFlo said...
Because it doesn't ask for verification does this promote spam? I was dropping on a site this morning that had maniac rantings for pages (obviously spam). I've luckily only run into one issue with the spam and that was enough.

Mama Flo,
I've taken a lot of time and tried to be patient with Sez Who...there are a few issues:
1. It's not working with most blogger blogs, it does not work at all with Joomla platforms, and it is not yet working with WP 2.6 and some other platforms. In Blogger, If the rating system shows up, it shows up incorrectly in the posts, not the comments where it is intended.
2. With some themes/templates, it causes a fatal error with all versions of Internet Explorer, in which blogs don't load and IE needs to abort.
3. In firefox it causes a display error with other widgets that have been installed.
4. The more I'm reading about the issues, the more concerns I have.
5. I'm very disappointed that EntreCard has formed this partnership and rolled it out without thoroughly testing the software to make sure it would work on all blogs that participate in EntreCard.
6. As it does not work with all blogs on EntreCard, it is default discrimination and only selectively helps bloggers by awarding credits to rate comments and to arbitrarily decide what a superior comment is to an inferior comment.
7. I think this will definitely help some blogs get off to a good promotion start, but for established blogs with high quality content and an established readership that engage each other with quality comments as it is, the value is minimized.
8. It will result in some inferior blogs getting a greater share of advertising on EntreCard because they will get more credits from leaving comments everywhere and rating comments everywhere; but...
9. Ultimately it will result in a time suck for bloggers who already have too many demands on their time. Making use of EntreCard, maximizing Digg, installing this widget, that widget....ultimately, I Have an issue with someone else telling me what scripts I need to install on my blog that affect my load time.
Also, most bloggers create custom templates and themes. That a piece of software like sezwho is not robust enough to adapt to these themes is a deal breaker for me. If Digg and Share and reddit and technorati etc can do it, it shows that sezwho is being rolled out way too soon. I'm not going to alter my template to take advantage of a service that is not optimized to work on my blog. The goal should be for sezwho and any other script to adapt to the blog, not the otherway around.
There will be a post on my blog no later than Friday addressing commenting at length, and I hope you'll stop by to read and comment on my thoughts.
Cheers! - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 12:26:00 PM CDT

I activated the plugin, but deactivated this morning because I don't like that icon in my post nor do I like that popup. I hate popups. It's okay for comments, but not in my post and I didn't even think about someone rating my post aspect and I'm surely not going to rate comments I will just delete them if they are hello how are you type thing. When I leave a comment it's because I want to not for credit and I don't know that I want all my comments following me around either. I guess I would need to delete my blogs from Sezwho though to get rid of that, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet...Have a good one.

Hey there,
You've had some great comments already about this.
I was very hesitant to install this, so I thought about it overnight.
I decided to try it on my main blog: It's A Blog Eat Blog World and see, like people have said, if I don't like it I can remove it.
I have a pop-out comment box on Blogger, and this doesn't seem compatible. (It seems to rate my post rather than the comments) I like that, and am not ready to switch...
Also, I tried 3 times to upload a photo into my SezWho account, and it hasn't "taken"... and the generic little gameboard piece thingies drive me kind of nuts, after being used to seeing Blogger's profiles.
I jumped on board the Digg bandwagon as soon as Entrecard announced it, and I think I have a *fairly* decent blog, but so far only one of my posts has been "dugg" and that was by a good friend, so I'm dubious about SezWho.
I guess the bottom line for me is: I'm giving it a try, but have my finger on the drainplug...
And the word verification thingy here with the in-line blogger comments drives me nuts (this is me bitching...) I've tried it three times and can't get the *expletive deleted* slanty/slammed together verification jumble!
Aggggghhhhh! - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 1:29:00 PM CDT

I agree...this seems like it is going to take way too much time.
Dropped on you - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 1:30:00 PM CDT
- MamaFlo said...
Until I can see some real value to SezWho, I have removed it from my blog.
If you find you have something to say and want to voice your opinion, go ahead and comment (of course I'll be happy) and don't feel I will rate your comments - I'm just thrilled to have you here at my blog. - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 1:31:00 PM CDT
- kml said...
I put it on mine last night, and it isn't showing up like it is supposed to. I agree with Jude above - I do not like those pop-ups. I have intentionally kept them and any flashy, moving, singing, things off my blog. I will give it a few days to see if things settle down. Sounds like a great idea for more exposure, but not sure if I like the way it runs on my blog.

I just discovered your kind comment on my blog on Blogexplosion. Thank you for this encouragement. And I guess, you will have a new visitor to your blog from now.

Got mine up and a little bit of problems but I use wordpress so there may be another issue with yours. Also, if you comment on other blogs without sezwho, you still get traffic!!
- Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 3:58:00 PM CDT
- Len said...
Hmmm... You couldn't get it work either, huh? I spent about an hour on it and finally gave up. I sure don't sure what the EntreCard folks see in it.

- Babs (Beetle) said...
I finally have it installed on my three 'Blogspot' blogs. It all seems to be function fine, and doesn't conflict in any way with my own template designs. As to how useful it will be, I will have to wait and see. I agree that it seems to have been pushed out too soon, and could have done with more testing though.
- Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 4:01:00 PM CDT
- MamaFlo said...
Changed my mind again - women have that prerogative or so I've been told.
I realized that I haven't really given it a chance. I see I'm still experiencing the same issues I was experiencing before I removed it - Damn!
I continue to be interested in your take with the service/system as the days ween on - I think this will be an ongoing saga both for the users and for Entrecard - How could you give us something less than perfect? - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 4:43:00 PM CDT
- Michael Aulia said...
Well they are still having problems with the version and trying to fix it.
"Also, most bloggers create custom templates and themes. That a piece of software like sezwho is not robust enough to adapt to these themes is a deal breaker for me"
You can actually turn off the "automated" code insertion and insert the HTML codes manually (well at least in WordPress, I'm not sure in Blogger)
I haven't got it working yet on my blog, but I appreciate Entrecard's dream to not just deliver traffic - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 5:21:00 PM CDT
- Nodin's Nest said...
I removed it from my blog too, It didn't come up on my comments, just on my posts and I hate the pop "Who am I?" Plus it slowed down my load time. I'm fine with people commenting because they want too. If they like my post they can Digg it, Stumble it ,etc or better yet, just come back. :)
- Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 6:14:00 PM CDT
- Linda said...
Personally I just don't get it. I am NOT going to rate someone's comments - that's just ridiculous! Someone else mentioned that "bribing" people for comments isn't such a great thing either and I think I have to agree on that one, too.
I added the SezWho application but I am seriously debating on deactivating it. It's not like I ever do much with my ECs anyway!
What a conundrum! - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 6:35:00 PM CDT
- The BenSpark said...
looks like yours is not working, there are some tutorials on the SezWho site that should be able to give you a step by step on how to do it. I just put my code in an HTML/Javascript box. That did the trick.

As a matter of fact it does make me feel better that other people don't quite "get it" either. I'm hoping that either I'll see the light or just not give a rats ass in a couple days :). - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 8:05:00 PM CDT
- Roxiticus Desperate Housewives said...
Hmmm....something seems to be different in your commenting area, but when I added SezWho to my Blogger blog, it looked different yet, including the opportunity to rate my content (and for others to rate my content) and, in some cases, the ability for me to rate my commenters' comments. I've already deleted SezWho since I didn't receive a single comment after installing it.

- Pinay Mommy said...
Just by reading all the comments, I am already learning a lot. I also felt SezWho has no use or whatsoever and yes, the popups are very annoying. I installed it today...until now, I don't see anything yet but probably will take it off. I go the usual drop and comment when I find the post nice...like yours.
Cheers!! - Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 12:47:00 AM CDT

I have it installed on all my blogs. I'm willing to get it a try. And as so many people have pointed out, if I don't like it, I can just rid of it.

- AZ Blogging said...
SezWho messed up my blog's comments, but I still want to try it again. The principle behind it sounds very interesting. If you know your comment will be rated by someone, then I guess you will want to do more than just saying "Nice Post".

I think it's not working this time for entrecard, It's a wrong start and i think 98% of the community tried but with all the chaos bloggers never cared anymore. Comment will come anyway without any credits, and bloggers hates dictates (Don't you guys!?) i do.
- Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 4:22:00 PM CDT
- hparis said...
I have it installed on my blog, but don't see how it will make any difference in my commenting habits as I Entresurf. When I see something of interest, I stop and comment or make a mental note to stop back later.
I don't like the SezWho rating system as it leaves you, your comments, and posts at the mercy of some meanie who might like to go around tanking people. I'm not a professional reporter, and my life is not so interesting that I would even classify anything on my blog as 5-star content, yet Entrecard's credit reward system is geared towards those who write "informative" or "educational" posts or comments. Even though the reward credits are just being given to the commenters, the type of post written dictates the type of comments left. This bias leaves out many of the Entrecarders who are in the Personal Diary or other personal type blogs. I get a crapload of comments on my "doggy" posts, but they're mostly one liners like "awww cute doggy!" Yet someone might come by and give that comment a 1-star rating. But the truth is, Buddy loves his fans, even the ones who leave one-liners. I'd hate to see these folks discouraged from coming by and commenting if it turns out some meanie is giving them low ratings.
Like I said, I have SezWho installed, but if it turns sour, I'll get rid of it. - Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 8:52:00 PM CDT
- MamaFlo said...
I love the people I've met and the blogs I read and other great blogs that come online everyday, I'm not interested in rating the comments left on those blogs, everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and who am I to say what comments are more important than others.
I've removed SezWho from my blog and unless something drastic happens it will stay off.
Thank you everyone for your fabulous opinions, thoughts, advice - every single word is appreciated and admired - THANKS!! - Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 9:35:00 PM CDT
- Mar Matthias Darin said...
I am decidedly not going with this... The whole thing leaves a bad taste thats just begging the search engine "gods" to drop the axe and whack a lot of sites' PR to a maga fat ZERO.

I hear you on SezWho. As soon as the notice cawme out, I quickly installed it on four blogs and thought it was working (well, it looked pretty!), but after a day or two it abruptly disappeared from each of them! Guess I'll have to do it all over again :-( Still sounds like a great idea though.
- Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 11:30:00 PM CDT
- Henson Ray said...
I'm not sure how I feel about SezWho yet. I put it on for a day, and then didn't like the fact that the rating is set at 2.5 as a default. Even for all my posts in the past. I know 2.5 is supposed to be average, but why not keep it blank until you get a comment? Not sure I'm going to buy into this.

As an avid dropper who does actually take the time to read posts, I don't like it. It takes entirely too long to read the blogs because it says Waiting for Sezwho.

SUMMERTIME is a time when many people are traveling and the kids are headed to camp. Most people think of camp as a place to do outdoor 'camp' type activities. Traditional camps like these are a great experience but there are other options for kids out there not wanting to go off to a traditional summer camp. The Mississippi Craft Center fits the needs of a child wanting a different camp experience.
It is helpful to view the Mississippi Craft Center as a solid option rather than an alternative choice to the traditional summer camp.

Volkswagen Axles Parts
Volkswagen is a worldwide auto industry leader and renowned brand name that represents quality driven vehicles featuring great designs with elongated dependability. VW has had three of their vehicles on the top 10-bestseller list and still does to this today. Their past has been manufactured upon years of experience with advanced values in manufacturing vehicles and products, and more specifically, axle parts and components. There are a lot of different symptoms that that are noticeable in your Volkswagen that can show you have a bent or broken axle shaft. For example, wobbling in your shaft while driving is one of the most noticeable and will most likely be the first signal that there is an issue. Misalignments with your brake pads and numerous types of visible leaks are also warning signs of a bad VW axle shaft. When you have a bent or broken axle shaft, one of the best ways you will be able to see it is how your Volkswagen might wobble slightly at lower speeds. At higher speeds, like 20 mph and up, this wobbling may change into what seems more like a general vibration. As the bend in your axle shaft gets worse though, the vibration will get more and more visible, until it is vibrating and shaking the entire vehicle. Although your VW's axle shaft's wobbling may not always be noticeable early on, a bent axle will also usually result in a visible deflection in the mounting of your tires. You also may not feel a distinction in how your Volkswagen handles, but other drivers may see the wobble easier while you are driving. It is important to remember that as this issue worsens, the wobbling get more intense, so replacing or repairing your Volkswagen's axle right away is important. FCP Euro has a large stock of Volkswagen axle parts and components, including a large supply of the Volkswagen brand, overall.
Volkswagen Axles Parts Online
As your Volkswagen 's bent axle produces this wheel wobbling, it will force a malfunctioning in the operation of your brake system. Your Volkswagen's brake pads will become unbalanced with your wheels and your self-adjuster will also malfunction, forcing your pads to drag. If you feel that your axle has a new sensitivity or trouble with your breaks, this is another symptom that points to your axle. If your Volkswagen has a 4WD, a damaged axle shaft can also force the outer break seal to leak. The result is your break drum becoming coated in oil from the gears and dust from the brakes. A great way to inspect and see if you have a bent axle, but are not noticing any vibrating is to take off your wheels and brake hardware. Then, do a spot exam on your VW's axles. Any cracking or breakage may be easily noticeable on your axles outside, if they are big enough. FCP Euro's quick and dedicated call center team is always easily reached for support or questions. If you are unresolved about which axle part is needed for your Volkswagen, FCP has an immeasurable collection for the VW brand. Check out FCP Euros website for all products, as well as our continuously updating inventory. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not hesitate to give FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

BUT the biggest drawback I've found is that there is no song information for the currently playing track. I attempted using the song information pluging and found it quite useless especially with the amount of space panel takes up. If u added the currently playing song into the player like most players have, this would be my main theme...otherwise..GREAT effort.
