... all of the falcon chicks seem to be 'house-trained' as they squirt their droppings straight out of the nest ... it must be instinct.

There was a program on television the other day about the River Trent, and along that route there was two large old cooling towers, that had been left due to observation of Peregrine Falcons nesting in the tower's. The reporter was saying that there was reports that the falcon's had now left, but in the program sound track, there appeared to be the calls of falcon's coming from the interior of the tower's?.

The Sheffield chicks are just about ready to fly off, I reckon.

Carolyn Goldmark Goodman (born March 25, 1939[1]) is an American politician. She is the mayor of Las Vegas, Nevada since 2011.[2] She is the wife of former mayor and attorney Oscar Goodman,[2] and the second female mayor of Las Vegas.
She earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Bryn Mawr College in 1961.[3] Carolyn and her husband Oscar moved to Las Vegas from Philadelphia as newlyweds in 1964. [4] She graduated the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1973 with a master's degree in counseling.[5] She is the founder, president and trustee emeritus of the Meadows School.[6] On June 7, 2011, she was elected Mayor of Las Vegas with 60 percent of the vote; she assumed office on July 6, 2011.[2][7]
She received the 2009 Commitment to Education award from the United Way of Southern Nevada.[8]
On October 24, 2011, Carolyn Goodman greeted President Barack Obama at McCarran Airport. In regard to negative remarks President Obama made about Las Vegas two years earlier that had angered Goodman's husband Oscar, the previous mayor, she told Obama that "the slate is brand new and clean," and gave him one of her lucky mayor chips as a gift. [9]
Carolyn and Oscar Goodman have four children and six grandchildren.[10]

I encountered my first AP Tryndamere about a month ago. Since then, I've been experimenting with using this build, and I can see how it sets up both as a troll and legit build.
For the people that don't constantly look at champ items (like I do), the common tank stacks armor when they see Tryndamere and another common-AD champ grouped up. In this instance, AP Tryndamere is dominant, while the enemy champions wonder how Tryn just swooped in with a Spinning Slash and got a double kill.
For those who DO look at champ items, and ally champs whom have never seen this build, AP Tryndamere comes off as a joke. That's exactly how I felt when I encountered this weird* setup.
So, my question is, how does everyone else feel about AP Tryndamere? Are there any tips for setting up a better build for it?
*Edit: Apparently the proper use of the word 'kweer' is frowned upon.
Senior Member
I play it whenever I pick trynd. Just cause he farms a lot. No real tips, just farm like a mofo. Even if you go AP you can still put in a phantom dancer just so you crit more which means the cd on your spin goes down more and you can spin more.
Cara Astras
AP Tryndamere:
Build ~
Ionian Boots + Sheen
Lich Bane
Blazing Wand -> Death Cap
Hextech Revolver -> Gunblade
Deathfire Grasp
Runes ~
CD Redux At 18 = 10%
Fill the rest with AP / Spell Pen
its for Lawls when trolling
did he just SS the whole team"?... yes
lol definitely troll imho. :P but its still really cool. death cap + lichbane and you'll 2 shot everyone
I've already discovered the fatal flaw of AP Tryndamere: Whenever you tell your allies in champ select, they think you're trolling THEM, and proceed to either leave queue or ruin your game.
I can understand what you mean, I saw an AP tryn and was impressed by the farm. The secret I discovered is that yea, going straight AP can work, but not really well most of the time. So my idea was to start more conventionally. PD and a IE (no particular order), and THEN go deathcap lichbane. Going back only to come back with a bunch of AP, SSing an entire wave down and going for the kill often times gets it, catching someone off guard. 700 damage crits backed by 700 damage spins. Its like the other spin to win
We'll have to see how the Trynamyere remake (using rage instead of bloodthirst stacks and getting rage on normal hots) interacts with Spinning Slash's cooldown reduction
Not nearly as effective as a standard tryn. AP tryn can do, ad most 5k damage in 5 seconds (assuming impossible CDR and 0 MR on enemies). Standard tryn can do 10k+ damage in 5 seconds. Also, SS scales directly off of AD and AP. So, some AP can help if you get it from bonus sources (e.g. runes/masteries, secondary item effects) especially since it buffs the heal from Bloodlust significantly. However, it ultimately only provides an edge where there's honestly no better way to use resources. Tryndamere already suffers enough redundancy, adding mana items just compounds the issue. Tryndamere is built to crit; so make him crit, and crit hard. My current best w/ tryn is 1600+ for one hit, which is ~3.2k+/sec assuming no change in targets (armor has to be reduced).

A croupier's eye view
Observations on casino life
Observations on casino life
by Hannah Mackay Published
When I left university three years ago, I worked as a croupier in a London casino. It wasn't the gambling I sought, but the night hours: during the day, I was struggling to be an actress. According to a survey by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, I was one of only 2 per cent of the British public who ever set foot in a casino. The other 98 per cent formulate opinions about the casino life, basing them on the odd Ian Fleming novel. Most casinos, in my experience, actually resemble an exceptionally miserable Mike Leigh film. James Bond is nowhere in sight.
At present, casinos face a blanket ban on advertising. Because it cannot tout for business, the London casino circuit is an extremely closed world in which the same faces - staff and punters - appear over and over again. I used to recognise about 75 per cent of the customers by sight. Because of the infamous "24-hour rule" (which means you cannot enter a casino until 24 hours after you have registered as a member), casual walk-ins hardly ever happen.
Casinos are at present required by law to display Gamcare leaflets - Gamcare being the national association for problem gamblers. Problem gambling is the great unmentionable - there is no reference to it at all in the current legislation (which has not been amended significantly since 1968). The gambling industry wants desperately to convince you that gambling is a "leisure" pursuit, no more harmful than, say, tenpin bowling.
As croupiers, we were encouraged to report to our superiors anyone we considered a "problem gambler" - that is to say, anyone who was unable to stop and was betting beyond their means. In reality when a report was made, the casino managers were reluctant to act against the man. He was, after all, a punter.
The implications of losing money at a casino are entirely relative to the player. I remember one punter in particular, a Saudi millionaire (honest). I dealt blackjack to him for three hours and during that time I was drawing aces, and he was busting nearly every hand. Behind him, his bodyguard was shifting uneasily from foot to foot. At the end of the night, the Saudi gambler shook his head, frowned, shrugged, laughed, and walked out. He had just lost about £100,000, but to him the amount was negligible.
Earlier that very week, at the same table, I had dealt to a heavily pregnant Chinese woman. She cashed in £50 at midnight and played cautiously, making it last. She lost her £50 in the last five minutes of gaming, at which point her smile dropped and she began to cry, saying: "My baby's milk money! All my baby's milk money! All gone!" Whether it was true or not, I'm not sure. But no doubt that £50, to her, was a fortune way beyond her means. The casino was happy to take it from her. That, after all, is what casinos are there for.

Wow, Marcella. That's a name you don't see too often. Prayers she's found soon and safe.

(February 11, 2007)—The US military says there's been a significant increase in the number of sophisticated roadside bombs in Iraq.
And a senior intelligence official says the orders to send components for them are believed to be coming from the Iranian government.
The officer briefed reporters in Baghdad on condition he not be identified.
He said that between June 2004 and last week, more than 170 Americans had been killed by what the military calls "explosively formed projectiles."
They're capable of destroying an Abrams tank.
The officer said American intelligence analysts believe the explosives are manufactured in Iran and smuggled into Iraq on orders from "highest levels" in the Iranian government.

Credit card debt
Credit card debt is the debt accumulated from unpaid credit card bills.
Expanded Definition
Most credit cards allow you to carry a balance on your account as long as you make a minimum payment. Paying less than the full amount results in finance charges being charged to your account. The interest rate on credit card debt is often high.
Many credit cards have very high credit limits, often thousands of dollars. Those with multiple credit cards can find themselves deeply in debt.
The high cost of credit card debt can make paying off these loans difficult. Debt consolidation is often a first step.

Ruby Jane Releases New "Ticket Out" Song & Video
Not attached to an announcement of a new album or any other notable news, Ruby Jane has released a new single and a new video called "Ticket Out." Written by Ruby, and produced by Mario Marchetti who's worked with The Lumineers and some other notable names. "Ticket Out" evokes a Lumineers-esque vibe with a heavy, woody bass beat and hand claps, but is centered mostly around the chorus hook…
8 Positive Female Role Models in Music
Sex has been used to sell music almost since music became a commercial enterprise. From the shaking of Elvis's hips, to Madonna's "Sex" book, to Miley Cyrus doing all manner of gratuitous things with a foam finger. but in truth there's plenty of positive female role models. From huge, internationally-known pop stars, to promising up-and-coming artists, positive female role models in music are out there.
Women At Forefront of Country Music Evolution
"Country must evolve" is the way it is sold to the country music public when pop and hip-hop influences are invited into the country music fold. What these folks fail to point out is that country has been trying to evolve for 30 some odd years right under their noses. Are you looking for true progress and evolution in country music? Look no further than this list of women.
"Go Ready" Bands in Country Music Right Now
Hollywood seems obsessed with finding talent among the masses with their silly reality show contests like American Idol and The Voice, when in reality there's a boatload of talent just sitting there waiting to be discovered right under their surgically-crafted, cosmetically-sculptured noses. So here's a list of some bands that are go ready, right now, no excuses.
XSXSW 5 Official Lineup Announcement
Hillgrass Bluebilly Records, Muddy Roots Music, and savingcountrymusic.com, along with KVRX 91.7, The Real Deal KOOK 93.5, and Cracker Swamp Productions are excited to announce the complete lineup for XSXSW 5, or "Saving Muddy Hillgrass", a two day event happening parallel with South by Southwest, the annual mid-March music festival in Austin, TX.
What 21 Artists Are Planning To Do In 2012
I think at this point it is pretty much a forgone conclusion that in 2012 we're all going to die of death. You know, that whole Mayan thing. But I thought just to be on the safe side, just in case we all don't die, we'll probably want to listen to some music, so wouldn't it be cool to know what some of your favorite artists have planned for 2012.
Ruby Jane & Mom Held At Gunpoint / Gear Stolen
In a very alarming story, fiddle phenom Ruby Jane and her mom JoBelle Smith were carjacked and held at gunpoint in Houston Thursday night (12-8-11) around midnight after a show at Dosey Doe. The man fled in their 2004 Chevy Trail Blazer, with all of Ruby Jane's music gear. Below please find a list of the stolen instruments to be on the lookout for.
Saving Country Music's Best Live Performances of 2011
When I sat down to name the top 10 live performances of 2011 as seen through my eyes, I didn't know what a mess I was making for myself, and it wasn't until then that I realized what a power packed year for live music it has been. My 10 stretched to 15 fast, and I'm still leaving many live acts out.
Muddy Roots + Hillgrass Bluebilly + SCM = XSXSW 5
I am very excited to announce a unique partnership between Saving Country Music, Hillgrass Bluebilly Records & Entertainment, and Muddy Roots Music (The Muddy Roots Festivals) to bring together the 5th Annual XSXSW showcase, aka XSXSW 5, as part of the annual mid-March gathering of the tribes in Austin, TX known as South By Southwest.
Is 'Country' an Embarrassing Term for Top Tier Talent?
Now that mainstream country music has been seen as just another version of pop music by so many people for so long, my concern is that talented musicians are being turned off by the mere mention of the term 'country', seeing it as a genre without gravitas, obsessed with money and image, making it even more likely for the one-in-a-million music talent to stay away.
"No Music Skills Required" Compounds Music Glut (ujam)
We sit at the crossroads of the great technology paradigm. For all the music problems technology solved for artists and fans, it is now creating new ones, principally an astronomical glut in the sheer volume of music being produced, and then marketed specifically for commercial consumption on a global scale. The enjoyability of music depends on its place as a minority in the collective talents of human society.
Recap – South by Southwest 2011
South by Southwest last year was my first full on experience with the event that brings over 8,000 bands from all over the world to Austin for 5 days of musical mayhem, and it went great. With proper pacing and maybe a little luck, I got everything out of the experience I could ever want. 2011 was one of those experiences you hear many people talk about that is proceeded by "…and I will never go back."
SXSW 2011 Preview – Master Schedule
Despite my SXSW preview blogs being horrifically under-read, and misunderstood as boastful bragging pieces about what others can't experience instead of creative ways to promote artists I may otherwise not be able to talk about, and despite Saving Country Music being eaten by Facebook, ripped in half by XXX, and the last vestiges of readers descending into pointless polarized rants about Hank III and Jamey Johnson…
SXSW 2011 Preview – Top Showcases
For those that have never been to SXSW, the whole thing is broken down into showcases. A showcase can be put on by a record label, a booking agency, a publicity agency, a radio station, a blog, it doesn't matter. And where doesn't matter either. Wherever there is space in or near downtown Austin, there's a band playing. Find yourself a space and make it happen!
Gwyneth Paltrow Signing A Celebration of Mediocrity
I am quite astonished with this in so many different ways I don't even know where to start. Actually I do. How about with the fact that Gwyneth, across multiple platforms, including movie, radio, and performance, and from a critical and commercial standpoint, has already failed in country music. The movie "Country Strong", which is the impetus for this whole country music career, was a colossal critical and commercial failure.
SXSW 2011 Preview – Top Artists To See
Of course, not every one can be here, but I will be, and leading up to SXSW, I will be doing my best to get everyone ready for the big shindig, including everyone that cannot attend. As I prepare for it, cover it, and then wrap it up, I'll do my best to encapsulate the experience for everyone, and through articles, pictures, videos, audio, and interviews, help you live the experience vicariously through me, and through osmosis hopefully turn you on to some great music.
Wayne Hancock on SCM LIVE / Ruby Jane on ACL
That's right folks, THIS SUNDAY, 2-20-2011, none other than Wayne "The Train" Hancock will be on Saving Country Music's live streaming channel, aka SCM LIVE, for a streaming video concert, with his full touring band at 6 PM Central! This is a special edition of Jashie P's Outlaw Radio, and it will be coming LIVE from Chicago, IL.
Super Bowl Illustrates Divisive Nature of American Music
In the last decade or so, music has become a vital part of The Super Bowl presentation.

Ruby Jane & Bob Schieffer Give Back for Christmas
Yesterday I was sorting through all the amazing pictures on Ruby Jane's new website, having my mind blown apart by all the big names that she has shared the stage with at one time or another (see some examples below) when lo and behold, a new video came down the pike from CBS News, featuring her sharing a stage with of all people, CBS's main man in Washington, Bob Schieffer.
Ray Wylie Talks About Latest Album "A. Enlightenment"
In the first part of my interview with Texas songwriting legend Ray Wylie Hubbard, we talked about how he wasn't proud of the end result of the movie Last Rites of Ransom Pride of which he co-wrote. In the second part we turned out attention to more positive things, namely his latest album A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There is no C) that is up for Saving Country Music's Album of the Year.

Will the downloading generation ever pay for online music?
The music industry has prodded, begged, educated and sued. But its message that music isn't free has had only a scant effect on many young music fans who came of age in the era of music downloading.
''You can download 100 songs in a day and not even think about it. ... Everyone knows it's illegal, but people don't think (authorities are) going to come after them,'' said Vanderbilt freshman Elizabeth Dearing.

I don't know…I like iTMS a lot, and while I will still get music from friends, if I like the songs enough, I will look for them on iTMS. Usually, they're better quality than the 192kbps MP3s I get, and after some contemplation, I'll buy them. Considering before music sharing, I never even listened to music or bought CDs, the RIAA should be happy.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on November 30, 2003 at 12:41 PM (CST)
I know exactly what you mean about your downloading habits actually encouraging the purchase of legal CDs. Before I had free access to countless songs, my musical horizons were limited to what was played on the radio or TV, a narrow selection to say the least. I never bought CDs before I started downloading MP3s.
Still, after the purchase of my new iPod, a CD seems like a needless expense when I can get the same, although lower quality sounding, song from Poisoned.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on November 30, 2003 at 3:13 PM (CST)
Ok, I'm 14 years old, and I' used to download a lot of songs of Kazaalite/WinMx, but I've changed. When the RIAA started sueing, I knew what I was doing was stupid and illegal. This is also around the same time I bought my 3G iPod. I have bought about 20 CDs since I've bought the iPod and before that I bought very few. I also pay $10 a month for Rhapsody so I can legally preview new music before deciding whether or not to buy it. I'm not a stupid kid anymore. Not all kids download music illegally.
Unfortunately, most of my freinds still refuse to pay for music. They download to their hearts content with the shared folder turned off so the RIAA can't catch them. Even when one of them DOES spring $15 bucks for a CD, he ends up just burning copies for all his friends anyway. These kids need to be smacked! Every song out of the 1.08 gigabytes I currently have on my iPod is legal.

I've changed, but it has NOTHING to do with the RIAA sueing. I attribute my change of heart 100% to the iTMS. The thrill of watching a high-quality song download so fast and the rush of good karma is worth $0.99 every time! ;-)
BTW… those kids look *really* odd in that photo. lol

I've stopped downloading precisely because of the actions that the RIAA has taken against downloaders.
At first, i thought the RIAA was bluffing again with there threats. But ever since they got the Feds involved and actually started suing people, including KIDS, i tuned into a sour PUSS* and stopped downloading and deleted Kazaa and all file sharing software from my computer.
I've stopped downloading for other reasons too. I once wanted to be a musical artist and started to think how I would feel if people downloaded my music for free, especially if i make my living from that music. I wouldn't like it. Also, the excuse that some people use about how they are forced to buy the music they don't even like sold on albums is stupid. How can you fully appreciate an artist if all you listen to is one or two songs, or songs played by mainstreem music stations?
Anyway, the main reason i stopped is because i don't want my azz sued. I've started buying more CDs anyway since i bought my iPod. I've been appreciating higher quality rips from iTunes AAC converter, so i'm happy with the selection of music i have now.

I have well over 3000 MP3's (13+ GB) ripped from CD's (650 CD's in my collection) and EVERYONE is bought and paid for!
Not even one of them is stolen…......
If you steal without paying for them your a thief….....plain and simple!

I have many friends who still download music from Kazaa but not as much as they used too. I now get most of my music from iTMS - and requested some gift certificates from it for Christmas - woo hoo can't wait!!

Ha, your IP address has been logged, and your ISP will be contacted tommorow. After we attain your information, we'll order a search warrant on your computer and files. If you don't believe us, just wait until Tuesday at the latest. We'd like to thank iPodlounge for cooperation.
Take notice- anyone who jeers at the RIAA will be searched thoroughly. I recommend you delete your illegaly downloaded MP3s.

Word of advice steve, if your gonna fake an RIAA representative, make sure you havent made another comment before that. Damn kids these days.
As for the music downloading, Kazaa isnt the only program that can DL music ppl.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on November 30, 2003 at 8:04 PM (CST)
Ah yes, I guess you're referring to Steven, the 14 year old that realized it wasn't right to illegally download music when we began our series of lawsuits. It's always interesting when someone decides that something illegal they are doing is immoral when they realize that they can be punished for it. No, I am not Steven, and I'm looking forward to tommorow.

I've downloaded over 700GB of MP3s and DIVXs—I am over 80,000 MP3s and counting. Most of my audio downloads are 192Kbps and higher - their quality makes any of the stuff I've heard from Rhapsody and iTMS just plain suck.
Even if I could find all the stuff in the "legal" services (while in reality they have like 20% of it available or so) there's no way I could afford it.
Downloading rules! They will only pry my DSL from my cold dead hands.

In the late '70's and the '80's and the '90's I have always paid top dollar for a tape/record or a cd that most of the time only had 1 or 2 Great or good songs on it.In the mid to late '90's I felt like I was useing half my pay check to buy a CD ($14.00/$17.00) Did the record company care about the PEOPLE? It's nice to see the costs of music drop for the people that dont make a millon dollars…

For years, I've abstained from buying cds and sending letters with money directly to the artists explaining why I would not support them by buying cds. I've actually gotten a few letters of thanks back, the most notable one from depeche mode.
however, now, i'd be too afraid of the RIAA taking legal action. Those people are heartless bastards who exploit artists and sheep like consumers for their own benefit.
We don't need the RIAA as the middleman. support boycotting the RIAA (although i still buy music from itunes)
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on November 30, 2003 at 11:43 PM (CST)
I won't. Ever.
Why? If the situation becomes so bad I can't download any songs for free, I wont. I will just buy the albums I want, end of story. There is no deal that any online music store can make to sway this decision.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on December 1, 2003 at 1:01 AM (CST)
I spend a fortune on CDs and i goto a lot of gigs. Ii also download illegally music illegally. Do i feel guilty not a bit, why should I?
If they managed to stop file sharing completly they'd get a lot less money out of me simply because i wouldnt be exposed to the ammount of different music i am now by sharing music with the rest of the world.
Quite simply if i download a album and i like i'll buy the album go see the band.

The Forth Rail Bridge partially shrouded in fog.
The Forth Rail Bridge is a unique steel Cantilever Bridge with three diamond-shaped towers crossing the river Forth at South Queensferry, Scotland. The bridge was designed by Sir John Fowler and Benjamin Baker and built by Sir William Arrol.
Constructed started in 1883 and it was opened in 1890 at a cost of £2.5m and 57 fatalities among the construction crew (it is now believed that the actual death toll is likely to have been closer to 80).
The bridge is still in use today, carrying the railways to the north from Edinburgh.

Adjusting to a new life
Eric and I emerged from this gauntlet of bliss and heartache as parents, forever changed. I wanted to share our wondrous story with everyone. Rebecca, after all, was made of it. But as soon as we returned home with Rebecca and I started telling my friends and family about our experience, I began to hear their amazement. When I'd add that Mallory would visit in three months, and we'd be seeing her every few months after that for the rest of our lives, their amazement turned to something like fear. "Aren't you afraid she'll want to take Rebecca back?" they all—from casual acquaintances to my own closest relatives—asked. (My honest answer: No, because she can't legally, and because, having spent time with her, I believe her when she says she doesn't regret her choice.)
That's when my newfound role as informal open-adoption evangelist began. I offered explanations like this countless times in the first year of Rebecca's life. Often, I smiled through gritted teeth as I did so. It hurt that near-strangers felt free to make rude remarks like, "I'm sure the real mom will lose interest soon," or "Well, I understand why you did it -- it's so hard to get a white baby these days." It made me even crazier that close friends and family, who'd seen us through this process from the beginning, continued to seem clueless about why we'd want Mallory in our lives.
My fellow new mothers were especially shocked. "I could never do that!" one said after the other. "You're so brave." As I ventured into the world of new-parent support groups and infant "playdates," I discovered that new-mama bonding doesn't leave a lot of room for different experiences. For most women, motherhood begins in their own bodies. Mine started with a relationship I'd forged with a stranger, and that would forever be part of the bond growing between Rebecca and me. I have to admit that the love between my daughter and me is not "natural"—it's built from faithfulness and time and mistakes and hard-earned insight, like the connection between her birth mom and me.
I don't blame people for getting spooked by my family's unorthodox situation. A lot of it comes from deeply rooted attitudes about what a family should be. The still-unresolved debates about everything from daycare to working outside the home all begin with the lingering dream of a mommy, daddy, and baby, bound by blood and comfort in their roles. When life doesn't work out in quite that scenario, it makes us all nervous—even those of us who never thought we wanted to live that way.
A mom who acknowledges another mother as central to her family throws everything up in the air. If Rebecca has two mothers (a "sun" and a "guiding star," as a corny pro-adoption poem puts it) then how can I be everything she needs? And if I can't be, am I good enough for her? I've had to wrestle with many of these questions over the past two years. Wouldn't it have been easier if they'd never come up? Not all moms in my position are so eager to dwell on the fact that they're not biologically connected to their child. I have friends who never tell strangers their kids are adopted. For me, though, there's no other choice—not because I'm better or more politically correct, but because my firm belief that family ties are created as much as fated makes anything but unqualified honesty seem like self-deception. I'm a mother because another mother granted that chance to me.
I believe that openness helps put people's sense of family more in tune with reality—a reality that includes stepparents, foster families, surrogacy, stay-at-home dads, and whatever twist on Ozzie and Harriet that life demands next. And I'm grateful for openness in a personal way, even when it's meant standing in a corner while Mallory held Rebecca at her high school graduation or dealing with those questions from strangers and friends. It turns out that the one person who could really make me feel good about being Rebecca's mom was her other mom.
It's Mallory who has written me kind e-mails when I've felt insecure and shared tears of confusion and hugs of reassurance. Sometimes, just acknowledging the weirdness of our situation makes it better.
Mallory, now a college student, has struggled with her own complicated role. Her hometown is fairly small, and she's endured hurtful comments from strangers, even friends. But she's chosen not to hide anything, covering her dorm room with pictures of "my kid" and introducing us as family members to everyone from her grandmother to her former manager at Wendy's. And if you think my momhood challenges people's assumptions, think about her: a proud and loving mother who nonetheless knew that her child would thrive in another woman's embrace.
We've both gained much more from staying connected than ignorant comments can erase. And we care about each other too much to keep quiet about it. But this may change when the 33-inch-tall marvel who united us gets old enough to realize what having two mommies really means. I feel that openness is healthier for Rebecca; I've seen families torn apart by secrets, and I'll do my best not to have that happen to my daughter. I'm raising her to be proud and feel lucky that adoption has given her a big extended family who loves her. But if she ultimately decides that this is all a private matter, I'll follow her lead. Maybe that will be her first act of independence, which I'll have to accept. I'm already getting less intense about playing the role of open-adoption poster mom. Now, when someone comments on how much Rebecca looks like me, I still usually say she's adopted, but I don't launch into a five-minute speech. We've been walking the walk for two years now, and sometimes I figure it's okay to keep the talk to a minimum. After all, we're normal, too—or as normal as any square in this crazy patchwork quilt of love, chance and choice that we call the modern family.

DEFINITION of 'Innocent-Spouse Rule'
A measure of relief built into the tax code that allows a person, if eligible, to avoid paying his or her spouse's tax if it was reported incorrectly. The innocent-spouse rule applies to a spouse that can prove that he or she did not incur the tax bill and did not somehow benefit from the failure to pay.
Ultimately, this rule is designed to protect people from liability for taxes incurred as a result of evasive or dishonest financial behavior by their spouses, or from divorces where one person fails to pay tax on the income he or she earned and intends to leave the other spouse with the bill.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Innocent-Spouse Rule'
Several conditions must be met in order for the innocent-spouse rule to apply. The innocent spouse must prove (with appropriate documentation) that the error or fraud was committed by the other spouse. The innocent spouse must also be able to establish that he or she didn't know about the income or fraudulent activity. Finally, the application for relief must be made within two years of when the IRS begins its collection process.

with the low crit rate on Backstab and ambush crit they feel very weak and useless, my friends feral druid is a lot less geared then me and can ravage for 80-100, why cant rogues even come close plz fix this its a joke.
Edited by Cantouchdiz on 2/6/2013 5:02 PM PST
please add any comments or suggestion
If you're rolling sub, stop complaining about ambush damage.
You have that in reverse.
Ambush has higher DPE than all of our generators except Dispatch. So, you should be using it when you can. Since it is our hardest hitting generator in terms of raw damage, if you have Shadow Focus, it's even worth using over Dispatch. Example: if you Vanish during the execute phase.
Garrote does awful damage now and is terrible with Venomous Wounds(as it ticks every 3s instead of every 2s like Rupture). So, you should never use it unless you need the Silence.
Which means, in PVE, you should always open with Ambush if you are Assassination or Combat. In PVP, if you don't need to stun or silence the target, you should Ambush.
Edited by Knocrogue on 2/7/2013 10:13 AM PST
No man, you open with Ambush ALWAYS, you can get a full 6 second kidney AND you sure did scare them.
The case of "if you Vanish during the execute phase", I'm almost certain, was meant as: If you're forced to Vanish during the execute phase.
You should not be Vanishing just to use an opener unless you REALLY need that clutch silence or stun.
But you're just going to want to put Rupture up as soon as possible for VW though, and Garrote's dmg is almost negligible not to mention it gens -1 cp than Ambush.
So if you're wanting to get the most dmg out of it you really SHOULD use Ambush on targets that the silence isn't needed.
Well, let's look at Garrotes damage:
Pre-Mop patch at 85, my Garrote ticked for 2530(5211 crit) with Hemo up.
At 90 right now, it ticks for 2706(5574 crit). Very, very little increase. While health pools have doubled.
Here's my 85 Ambush(Both as Subtlety without buffs):
(3311 * 3.99) + 1467 = 14677.89 * 2.0 = 29355.78
(9681 * 4.7) + 2930 = 48430.7 * 2 = 96861.4
Garrote doesn't deal damage in my eyes. Those 2706 ticks are just aesthetic.
As for Vanish, I meant if you want to deal damage, you should Ambush. If you need to silence or stun, you use Garrote/Cheap Shot. I didn't mean it any other way!

Well, let's look at Garrotes damage:
Right, garrote is used for the silence and the dot. I think a huge QoL change for Mut rogues would be to make it tick every 2 seconds instead of 3 while keeping the damage the same.
Speaking of that. I've always though if they really wanted to push Garrote away from damage, they really should have gave Ambush some form of bleed.
Say it ticked for 1 damage every 2s for 6s so it's base damage wouldn't have to be nerfed. Then put it on both Sanguinary Vein and Venomous Wounds. Truly, you'd really only ever have to use Garrote for the Silence. Which is what they want, I think.

Please tell me this is not a vieled attempt to say Escorts are OP.
Ask the Devs to fix thier game before possibly bashing a class that works well in its simple requirements.
The point is the method of the math behind how DHCs, Escorts, and Tac abilities all interact is completely different than the vast majority of how other mechanics in this game work. That is to say that
* > +
and when only one system uses that * as often the higher the numbers become the more skewed everything gets.
It is the single thing that destroyed Diablo 3's enjoyability at endgame compared to D2 for a huge number of players. Keep in mind I've done the uber difficult MMO raid game before I do not find it very enjoyable but it does teach you just how important efficiency really is.
And no I do not want nerfs, all my toons use are in escorts anyway. I just call it like I see it and am more than capable of adapting to any nerfs/buffs in short order.
And lastly there is no gameplay fix possible beyond more content like starbase blockade and azure nebula rescue. If you simply increase the difficulty it will make the problem even worse for the hybrid. And right now for rankings the escort is the most efficient tank or DPS while the sci vessel with the right boff layout puts out the most healing. They are the Warrior/Cleric combo of old EQ.
