Arriving at a fourth Midnight Riot label compilation in little over a year is no mean feat for Yam Who?'s ISM operation, and the key to their success lies in the diversity of sounds you can include within the overarching theme of nocturnal grooves. And of course the high standard of artists that contribute, with this bumper 23 track selection no different as Yam Who? call on some respected names to contribute; seeing the likes of Joey Negro, Ilya Santana, Rakyo and LTJ Experience puts you at ease as you know you are in good hands - the Negro edit of Yambee's Ballistic Brothers classic "Blacker" is a notable highlight. Yet the fact these established names don't overshadow the contributions of lesser known Midnight Riot newcomers such as Dan Butler and Caserta - indeed the latter Boston based producer provides perhaps the best example of a 'nocturnal groove' with his slow burning, beat down house cut "Get Down".

Russian producer Valique is back with the latest installment of his successful disco edit series. He specialises in toughened, quanitised beats, lending old stuff a modern electro-house groove. Highlights here include his highly danceable take on The Smiths' "Barbarism Begins At Home", the skippy, cut up house shuffle of "Angry Brides" and the infectious electro-funk anthem "Like Dancing".

The fantastically named A/Jus/Ted - veteran producers Justin Strauss and Eddie Mars on a collaborative tip - make their debut on Under The Shade. "A Brighter Light", featuring the treacle-thick soul vocals of Jeremy Glenn, sits somewhere between electro-soul, early Chicago house and Balearic nu-disco. As you'd probably expect from the soul-minded Strauss, the resultant track is effortlessly soulful, quietly uplifting and brilliantly produced. The same could be said of the more instrumental Re A/Jus/Ted remix, which blends skittering proto-house rhythms and electrofunk dub elements with woozy modern deep house. Like the original, it's excellent.

Possibly named after his favourite retro toasted sandwich maker, Brevil is an Australian disco producer currently on his third outing for Kosta Ellis' Superbreak imprint. His sound is low-slung and dirty and any of the four tracks here are guaranteed to get everybody in the mood for some disco love. Highlights include the loopy and hypnotic "Slow N Low", the shimmering female funk of "Never Gonna Stop" and the rumbling bass and delayed drums-fest that is "Turn U On".

Whiskey Disco returns with a quartet of blisteringly good reworks from Dead Rose Music Company and Satin Jackets. Dead Rose Music Company open proceedings in style with "Nothin To Ya", a brilliantly low-slung, bass-heavy re-edit-turned-remix of the Jones Girls' "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" that turns the delightful original into a dubbed-out chunk of dancefloor chugginess. The more upbeat "Too Late", based on a lesser-known favourite, is almost as good. Satin Jackets' "The Hustle" provides some looser - but still formidably heavy - dewy-eyed disco-soul thrills, while "I Can See The Light" is more Balearic than a wet, sloppy kiss from a grinning stranger.

Larse is a hard act to track down and although we don't know much about them, one thing we do know is that Larse is very good at getting backsides moving. This turbo-themed EP boasts 4 original deep body-disco cuts, the standouts being the sublime and totally glamorous "Hot" and the (possibly even better?) Adana Twins remix, which is indeed based around a twisting bassline. What's not to love?

Played by: In Flagranti, Joseph Terruel, Kono Vidovic, Grass Green, Monkey Boots, Vinyladdicted, Mr Hooky
Further proof of the blurred boundaries between nu-disco, deep house and '90s house revivalism is provided by this jaunty four-tracker from Auckland-based studio buff Shallow Taxi Club. There's much to admire about the crisp, vintage house pianos, twittering melodies and bumpin' beats of opener "Flashback", but it's the deep, Crazy P-ish nu-disco groovery of "Mark My Words" that most impresses. Choose between the baggy 'Disco Edit' and a delightfully touchy-feely rework from Greg Wilson faves Monkey Boots. The latter also turn "Melody of Creed" into a gorgeous slice of shuffling deep house bliss.
06 May 13
Played by: Disco B
This duo of edits was originally released by DJ Ionic's imprint, Kojak Giant Sounds, a few years ago. Although the choice of source material here is undeniably obvious, Rayko is fairly restrained in his rework's of Nick's AOR classic "Edge Of Seventeen" and Cara's 1983 benchmark electro-disco tune "Breakdance", providing a little bit of vintage class to modern dancefloors in the process.

The Legendary Sound Orchestra continues his attempt to provide disco edit lovers with something extraordinary, with a third collection of hand picked reworks. Predictably, there's plenty to enjoy, from his own sparse, piano-heavy version of Silvetti's Salsoul classic "Spring Rain", to the rolling, bongo-laden goodness of 78 Edits' sprightly but loopy "Don't You Know". Highlights-wise, it's a toss-up between Alkalino's baggy disco-soul shuffler, "Have A Ball", and Jimmy The Twin's superb, TR-707-enhanced "Party Down". The latter, a horn-heavy chunk of upbeat disco-funk, is arguably the Bristol-based scalpel fiend's best work to date.

Played by: The Groovers
Given his encyclopedic knowledge of music, you'd expect any compilation put together by Bill Brewster to be full of unlikely gems and lesser-known anthems. That's certainly the case with After Dark, the first in a new DJ-focused series from the Late Night Tales camp. From start to finish, Brewster's selections are spot on, from the lowdown, slo-mo disco oddness of Sheffield chanteuse Marti Caine's "Love The Way You Love Me" and wide-eyed, acid-laden kosmiche of Coober Peder University Band's "Moon Plain", to the dirty electrofunk of Zed Bias's "Koolade" (featuring Toddla T, of all people) and mid'80s percussion fest of Martin Kershaw's "Keep On Pokin". If that wasn't enough, Brewster has also unearthed a decent Jamiroquai record. The wonders never cease.

Anyone who decides to dedicate a fair chunk of his debut edits release to scalpel cuts of tracks from Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane and Stevie Wonder must have gonads the size of watermelons. Sitting down could be an uncomfortable proposition, then, for the mysterious V, whose seven-track debut EP also includes chunky, floor-friendly re-tweaks of The Kinks and Sly & The Family Stone (as well as a couple of stonking disco bangers). While some would argue that much of the material here didn't need messing with, he's done an excellent job. The Dub of "Whole Lotta Love", for example, is pitched just right, offering much more bang and exactly the right amount of disco dubbiness.
22 Mar 13
Following the success of the first three volumes of his AOR-tinged V's Edits series, Russian producer Valique (best known under his usual pseudonym for disco-flecked funk breaks) unleashes another EP of scalpel jobs. This time, the sources are a little more obscure (the silly artist names offer clues), but the party-starting remit remains. So, we get some chunky low-slung, Fleetwood Mac-ish rock ("Because"), a dash of hustling disco-funk ("Up"), a sprinkling of synth-bass laden funk-rock ("Soul Francisco"), a thickset house version of a soul classic ("Good Or Bad") and a big chunk of '90s US garage silliness ("Love You Too") - all tweaked and teased with an eye on dancefloor devastation.

Played by: DJ Butcher (Chopshop Music), Dicky Trisco, Redsoul, Fingerman, DJ Friction (Germany), Los Charly's Orchestra, Superbreak, Juno Recommends Disco, Pablo Contraband (Disco Deviant), Alessandro Otiz, The Funk Hunters, Disco B, Weedyman, Peza, Get Down Edits, Dynamicron (Los Grandes/Our Nights), Lesale, B.g. Baarregaard, Lazy Kiss, Vinyladdicted
Trust us, in our experience when encountering someone who goes by a nickname like Fingerman, it's usually best not to enquire as to how they came to be christened so. Here though he seems intent for us to know his true story, and luckily for us he's explaining it through the language of music. "I Know Its Mine" is a snazzy, brassy anthemic jam, "Lenny's Disco" is super camp fun of the Carl Bean variety, "Outta Sight" is more low-slung stuff, and "Honky Honk", with its incredible sliding bassline, is the sound of a roof being raised!

Having previously danced the night away, the extended musical family behind the Editorial imprint sit down together for a nice spot of Sunday Brunch. In practice, that means a slightly deeper, groovier flex than some previous outings. There's plenty to enjoy, though, from the low-slung mutant nu-disco of JKriv's "Something Special" and the tumbling goodness of Sonicvibe's "Wet Level" (based on Rick James' "Cold Blooded"), to the original boogie sweetness of DJ Butcher's "All My Dub" (a much-needed tweak of Major Harris's long-forgotten "All My Life"). Of course, there are a couple of peaktime stompers, with Feza's Bohannon-ish "Feel Like" standing out.

Given how many re-edit releases he's had over the last few years, you have to wonder whether Rayko will soon run out of fresh scalpel material. Thankfully, he's not reached the 'barrel-scraping' stage, as this breezy two-tracker proves. "Enjoy Your Life" is the epitome of summery disco-soul, all shuffling beats, addictive vocals, darting strings and wiggly funk guitars; it's the sort of thing that should be booming out of a boat party soundsystem somewhere in the Adriatic. "Emotion", meanwhile, sees Rayki return to his love of electrofunk drums, turning a synth bass-laden disco jam into a touchy-feely instrumental delight.

ISM Records' two Futurism EPs have proved so popular that label boss Yam Who has decided to use them as the inspiration for an expansive compilation of previously unreleased gems. Unlike the label's other popular strand, Midnight Riot, there's always been a bit more of an open-minded, eclectic feel about the Futurism releases. This is no different. Whilst rooted in nu-disco and deep house, Futurism: Shades of Space also touches on 21st century jazz-funk (Manmademusic), bongo-laden spiritual house (Nu Ak's "Fly Away"), fluid garage (Nega Tiv's excellent "Liquid Call"), woozy Balearica (Ben La Desh and Plan DAqua), block party boogie (Questlife feat Wildstyle, Freekwency) and nu-jazz (Hamish Balfour). More importantly, the quality threshold remains high throughout.

The highly anticipated release of Grimy Edits Vol. 6 is here with the type of monster edits you'd expect from GRIMY! On this sixth volume of the popular edit series you have Veteran Chicago DJs Zernell & Rahaan bringing the heat with Rahaan's supercharged version of Rebound as the 1st track, coupled with the Zernell - Rahaan collaboration of an obscure B-side Latin Disco / Break Beat Jam perfectly titled WHAT! Joined on the flip side of the release is veteran edit master Tim McAllister of M.I.L.C. Music fame who takes a lesser known JB 7" and transforms it into the dance foor killer titled "I Need Help!".
06 May 13
Wow! Fans of either Escort or modern nu-disco (or both!) can now rejoice as the retro New Jersey band's eponymous LP has now been remixed by a string of key producers. It's a veritable feast, a smorgasbord even, of pulsating electronics, female vocals and the kind of music that makes you imagine you're Richard Gere in American Gigolo. Highlights include the voodoo weirdness of Sub Swara's take on "All Through The Night", the high octane Proper Heat mix of "Chameleon Chameleon" and Ewan Pearson's Tom Tom Club-esque version of "Cocaine Blues".

Played by: Disco B
Here Chopshop welcome Moplen to their clan with an introductory EP of re-jigs. It's an impressive start: "Ma Foom Bey" is brooding Afro house with a slightly Chi-town undercurrent, 80s disco staple "Ain't Nothin Goin On But The Rent" gets a respectful nip and tuck while "Cavern" ends things with a way-out and noodley adaptation of Liquid Liquid's "Cavern".
25 Apr 13
Lino 'Alkalino' Rodriguez is getting straight to the point with the title of the latest release on his own Audaz label. The music featured also has a similar no-nonsense attitude, being all attention grabbing party starters. "Love That Funk" is an excellent electro-disco-boogie banger with an underlying hi-NRG feel. Ronnie Law's classic, "Always There", is subtly retweaked in sensitive fashion and likewise for Mystic Merlin's storming "Just Can't Give You Up".

Volume Six of the esteemed Sccucci Manucci operation sees the Tom Selleck of disco flecked house rack up the air miles with an international cast of talent contributing. Contemporary disco connoisseurs should be fully aware of Gredits, the Swedish producer with previous on the Basic Fingers label; "Doing It Deep" does it right, seductively teasing out a killer looped up disco groove that gets more flirtatious with every listen. German dwelling Greek producer Elef takes us into classicist house terrain with the infectious bump and shuffle of "Lazy Liz", whilst a long promised Sccucci weapon from The Candy Dealers (aka Christian Malloni & Jay West also sees release. Glaswegian Illyus rounds out the EP, as he returns for a second bite of the Manucci cherry with the late night dubby house goodness of "Movin House".

This release reads like a re-edit producer's convention, with four different artists all delivering their own unique takes on selections from disco's past. "Hitney Wouston" is Deep & Disco's funky tech-house take on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by you know who. It's an enthralling version that competes with Girls On Top's all-time reworking from back in the day. Alkalino's "Ruff N' Stuff" is a killer blend of throbbing bass, cowbells and a retro rap. Debonair's "Mellow Mellow" features a mesmerising, heavily filtered string loop and lots of disco lasers. Retro-house don Jonewaynes wraps things up with the looped slice of shimmering Balearica that is "Number 1".

Having found success blending chopped-up disco and soul cuts with head-nodding house rhythms, Luca Trevisi is in no rush the flip the script. Then again, why should he be? As this second collection of shuffling disco/soul/house blends proves, nobody else does head-nodding slo-mo and midtempo groovery quite as well. Ain't Nothing But A Groove offers few surprises, but a whole heap of excellent, floor-friendly productions (some, such as the brilliant "Get Down", which have previously been released as singles). While the balance between disco, funk, soul and house changes throughout - the jazzy "Vuonto Beat", for example, is almost a straight-up murky deep house cut - Trevisi's wonderful way with grooves constantly impresses.

Nu disco re-edit label Editorial seem to be continuing on their recent deep slo-mo direction. Their fifth label comp/EP sees them in fine fettle, with Sellouts delivering the deep n loopy "Satisfy" (a deceptively powerful dancefloor builder), Deep&Disco's "Otis Held Tight" is a beautifully sparse yet soulful outing, Manuel Shagun's "So Good" provides an amazing glammy disco stomp, riddled with samples and all the better for it, while the party winds up with the cruising blue sky funk of The Noodleman's "3rd Time".

Joey Negro's Z Records have a remarkable knack for knocking out vintage compilation after vintage compilation. Here though, they've really discovered a rare niche of unmined gold courtesy of Nuphonic's David Hill who acts as selector. As Hill explains "gospel music has often followed trends in secular music" and this album captures 24 attempts of gospel getting on the disco and boogie trains. Highlights include the hiNRG longing of "I Need You", the electro-soul of "Love Is The Message" and the piano & strings frenzy of "Awake O Zion".
01 Mar 13
Played by: DJ Butcher (Chopshop Music), Andy Warburton, Homegroove Project, Franz, Fingerman, Juno Recommends Disco, Disco B, Joseph Terruel, Futurewife, Peza, Dynamicron (Los Grandes/Our Nights), Spilt Milk, Nu Disco Fever
With a sly wink and a beckoning wave of the hand, Chopshop invite us into their boudoir for another seductive trip into slinky rework territory. As usual, many bases are covered. Captain Futuro kicks things off with "Love Me Crazy", a slo-mo disco-flecked hip-hop head-nodder. Label supremo DJ Butcher turns Dave Gerard's "Twisted Message" (a sneaky bootleg version of the Furious Five classic) into a disco funk-breaks smasher, before laying down some revivalist rare groove fun in the shape of his own "However Do You Want Me" (a rework of Soul II Soul's "Back To Life"). A decidedly sensual package is completed by the misty-eyed headiness of Ill Advised "Superstition" (yep, a remake of that "Superstitition").
29 Apr 13
Played by: The Glue
Nelue is a man who knows which side his disco toast is buttered on: the floor-friendly party side. As such he doesn't hold back; Sinead O'Connor's definitive version of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" gets whisked up in a whoosh-filled blender and arrives back in bouncey, housey form. Stevie Wonder gets a furious electro-disco makeover on "Walkers" and elsewhere "The Real Deal" is attitude-heavy electroboogie and "All My Love" is an emotionally stirring anthem with belting female vocals.
06 May 13
Those with a keen eye for detail will note that Midiman is a name of a range of midi controllers and soundcards. It's also the chosen pseudonym of Russian deep house upstarts Lenya Goosey and Sergey Silvertone. Here, they pop up on Pole Position with six tracks of super-smooth deep house. Their style is fluid and melodic, seemingly taking influence from Russian nu-Balearic disco and classic US deep house. The electrofunk-influenced shuffler "Come To Me" is our pick, though the dreamier "For The Sake Of Love" (available in two sparkling versions) and similarly disco-influenced beach house groover "Dreams Come True" run it close.

To date, it's been with their carefully chosen remixes that File Under Disco has most impressed. Here, JKriv and the Disco Machine's recent "Make It Acid" gets a typically out-there dub disco makeover from the Idjut Boys. The veteran duo's remix pits dubbed-out disco drums and echo-laden vocals against a battery of acid field guns - all 303 tweakery, mind-melting riffery and undulating electronics. For those who navigate a course through the twin attractions of house and disco, it should be essential listening. The shorter "Bonus Mix", meanwhile, peppers a robust, cowbell-laden drum track with occasional blasts of eye-watering 303 madness.

Amsterdam dwelling editor par excellence Em Vee took the solo reigns on the inaugural Lumberjacks In Hell - and truly excelled with a great reimagination of "Miss You". The second release on the label sees the German share duties with Spanish edit demon Rayko. First up is an expert rearrangement of Candi Staton's cover of the Bee Gee's standard "Nights On Broadway" which strips the track of its orchestral leanings to focus on the groove! Following this is a meaty take on a classic, with Barbara Keith's cover of "All Along The Watchtower" reinforced with some bottom end bump. Em Vee spreads a special disco version of Alma Lee's late 70s Philly delight "Gimme Your Love" with an extended intro that fully displays his edit talents.
10 May 13
It appears that Systematic label boss Marc Romboy and his Chicago veteran old pal Blake Baxter have got lost on a road trip. We can just see them now, in a Delorean and struggling with maps and compasses before exiting the vehicle to find themselves in Paris circa 1998. Yep "The Art Of Sound" sees the normally jack-obsessed producers explore the whole French touch sound, and it largely works - the main version being faster, vocal and less retro. Version 2 though is all about looping and filtering those disco samples to within an inch of their lives!
21 Mar 13
Played by: Visti, Gazeebo, Fingerman, Juno Recommends Disco, Shota Tanaka (Beaten Space Probe), Ramsey Hercules, B.g. Baarregaard, Future Feelings, Monkey Boots, Vinyladdicted, Cocaine On Her Dress
It's been a while since we've had contact with Beaten Space Probe, but presumably his probe is still operational because here we have a follow up to last year's debut. Once again this Japanese producer (aka Shota Tanaka) is in party mood with four authentically 70s sounding slices of disco. "Boogie Rice" marries Philly strings with a killer funk riff and "In Your Soul" is a tour de force of female belters; "Feel Like Dancing" is the standout with a Nightfever funk that'll make you strut like Travolta, although "River Magic" come a close second with its emotional orchestration and tight guitar licks.

The mysterious V has got some balls. You see, it's common practice in re-edit circles to steer clear of certain big tunes and artists. V clearly didn't get the memo, because this second volume of party-hearty, floor-filling reworks contains sneaky dubs of tracks by Steve Miller (a smile-inducing version of "Fly Like An Eagle"), the Sex Pistols (a filter-heavy tweak of "Anarchy In The UK"), The Lovin' Spoonful ("Summer In The City") and The Beach Boys ("Good Vibrations", which gets a weirdly breaksy Balearic rework). Better, though, are the versions of the more disco and funk-inclined material. His Betty Wright rework ("Slip & Do It") is particularly magical.
22 Apr 13
Venice Beach's DJ Moar goes it alone again for the latest in his long line of classy disco re-edit EPs. The Philly in the title betrays his love of those string arrangements best found here in the lazy disco-rock of the title track. "Bass N Key" instead fuses slap bass funk, mellow keys and dreamy synths, but the highlight here is the almost warped deep and spacey loops of "New Star".

Magpie: Just keep taking small steps over the line of what you're comfortable with, until one day you realize that you've covered the entire world. (Me, I still have Africa and most of Asia as being too far out of my comfort zone. Hope to do Nepal and Cambodia next year, though, as the less scary stepping stones to India and Vietnam - and I can only contemplate Cambodia because I did Thailand previously.)
For me it's not so much traveling alone, as being on holiday alone. Going to Toronto this November still scares me a little. But I figure that if there really is noone I know, I'll just see if they have gophers at WFC and volunteer. The best way to make friends quickly. (Of course that mostly works well at conventions, although youth hostels often run on semi-volunteers as well.)
My legs are so sore from the hike yesterday! And it was hot again. But I still made myself go to the botanical garden and spent several lovely hours sitting by the pond there, writing.
Now planning a last minute trip to the UK.
Yay, I'm going to visit Libra in two weeks!
*grins*I haven't said anything yet because I'm always afraid of jinxing it, but I'm planning to visit her at the end of August. (So much for taking small steps over the line of what I'm comfortable with - first time flying on my own!)
*excited bouncing and bouncing*I's got me visitors!!!! So looking forward to both of them!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd bounce, too, but I'm still too sore from hiking - if I sit still for a bit, I can hardly move any more!
*tries to bounce and falls over**settles for bouncing in work chair*So fiancee traded in his big truck this weekend. He was really getting tired of it being so expensive and so big, which I understand. He traded it in for a Jeep Wrangler, which is really fun! It came with the hard top, which is awesome. We drove around a bunch Saturday when he got it and the tops of my thighs got sunburnt :xThen he went and bought an iPod nano... lol Ok so maybe I have shopping-envy right now...Gotta get a new pair of sneakers pretty soon, the ones I've been wearing to the gym are a few years old now and are pretty much on the "worn out" phase. I mean, I'll still wear them to the store, but I don't want to do anything high stress in them. I'm thinking about another pair of New Balance's, as it's what I currently own and have been very pleased with them. Of course I might also just go with a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor's, as they have the hard, flat sole that is good for lifting. Hmmm, decisions...
Now I'm kinda sad I can't make it over there at the end of August as well. ;) Although, technically I AM at that side of the pond then. No possibility whatsoever to make it that far south, though. I'll be hiking Hadrian's wall.
Pleasantly cool day... and we're finally throwing out all the plants we can no longer sell. Such a relief not to have to look at them any longer!Sahi, Libra said she doesn't have much room, so she can't really invite more than one person at a time - but we'll all be together soon enough.
True. And this way there's more fun for her. (Or at least spread out a bit more.) :)
I nearly overslept today, because the battery in my alarm clock died. Luckily, traffic always wakes me up, and I started to wonder why it was still the same time every time I looked at the clock while trying to get back to sleep.
Haha I nearly overslept today too, but that was because I had changed my alarm clock from its normal time and forgot to change it back. Whoopsie!All kinds of sore today... quads are sore from yesterday, head goes thump thump, neck is stiff from sleeping wrong, my something muscle in my abdomin is sore from the sit ups... oof...
I was pretty sore the last two days from the hike on Saturday - today, it finally stopped.I had a great day today. It was sunny, but windy and not too hot, I had some pleasant tasks (and actually got something finished, despite being interrupted by customers all the time), and then there was this woman who, after paying, pushed a € 1 coin across the counter and said, "that's for you, for always being so nice." (I told her it was easy with nice customers, and she actually was nice, too.)Then after work, I forced myself to go to the shopping centre... years ago, I got a coupon for a travelling agency for winning first place in the apprentice competition... and never used it, because, well, when I travel, I do it by train, and I don't need a travelling agency for that. So I got the expiration date extended, and then extended again... but now that I'm planning to visit Libra in London, I decided, the time had finally come to use it. Nice coincidence when I walked in, one of the travelling agency employees was a woman I know, and she was free. Made everything much easier for me - this was my first time at a travelling agency, my first time booking a flight, and being able to talk to someone I know made it so much less awkward! And the coupon was just the right amount for the tickets, too!Then, since I was already in the area, I bought my youngest brother's birthday present, and decided to pop into the garden centre too. And who do I meet there? Another employee I know (she was a Town Gardens apprentice as well, just in another department.). So we chatted, mainly about stupid customers, until it was nearly closing time, and I had to snatch up the passion flower I'd fallen in love with (yes, because four aren't enough), spent five minutes zipping from table to table and exclaiming over interesting plants, but then had to go and pay without deciding whether I should buy anything else. I guess I'll have to go back there again this week and pick up a couple more plants... (yes, I'm insane.)
Much less sore today, hooray. Thanks, day off, for letting me recuperate!I really wish my workload was better distributed over the year... as now I am crazy busy, can't do everything asked of me right away, omg hyperventilate gonna get fired cos I'm not doing a good enough job, panic. Which I know is not true, but work ethic has been so engrained in my that if I don't do my best, I feel bad. Work durr moment for the day... Big boss comes over, asks "Is [my direct boss] coming in today?" "Yeah, she's just has an appointment so she's coming in a bit later, didn't you get her email?" Referencing email that was sent over a hour before this question was asked... [This is the same big boss who freaked out last summer when all of a sudden, nothing worked, went back to IT to complain. Was then informed that the servers had to be rebooted and that an email was sent out 2 hours prior to doing this. Replied with, "Well you can't expect people to read their email!" *...*] While email is good for MOST of us, it clearly is not good for ALL of us...
Wow. 350 g of snow peas from the balcony today! I can't even eat that much in one meal. But it'll probably be the last harvest of the year.
Crap, crap, crap! I lost my rucksack! I think I must have left it at the train station, because I know for a fact I had it when I left work, and when I left the grocery store, and I didn't have it when I wanted to get off the train. And it wasn't under the seat, there was no way anyone could have stolen it (I'm not that blind or stupid, and it's a very quiet/empty train). The only thing that could have happened is that I was so focused on my basket, smaller bag and book when I boarded the train that I left the rucksack behind.I mean, the rucksack itself was old and ugly, and I can live without the water bottle, lunch box and dirty work trousers, but it also had my camera in it (I was thinking about buying a new one, but I'd rather not), and even worse, my diary. I know, stupid to carry it around, really, but on the train is my favourite time to write. There's nothing particularly secret in there (and if there is, it's written in an alphabet only I know), but I'd quite like to be able to read it again some day. I went right back on the next train and checked, but it wasn't at the station any more either. Now my only hope is that someone handed it in to the conductor on the next train - I'll call the lost and found tomorrow. It is a tiny village station, with just a tiny shelter, a bike rack and one platform, so there is a chance this is what happened, but I still don't want to get my hopes up.In any case, I'm so angry at myself now for being so stupid - I haven't been in such a temper in a long time. In an actual throw-things-across-the-room sort of temper.
And I'm totally planning to take my temper out on my plants, and throw out the ones that annoy me.
And also on the bits of paper, receipts and notes that are covering my table. Hah - being furious gives me a lot of energy for cleaning!I totally blame the heat. I hate heat. Heat is making me stupid, I don't forget/lose nearly as many things in winter.
YAY! Oh, I love working in a tiny village! Guess what happened - my boss just called me, someone found my rucksack, recognized it as mine and brought it to him!
Well, considering how it started, this was a rather nice evening. I ended up not "executing" any plants, but I did clean up all the paper mess - stuff that's been piling up for about a month! - and I can actually see my table again. And I have a cake in the oven, and I called my father (mainly to ask if he could guess who this is - looks a bit like one of his friends), and we had an actual conversation, not just, "how are you doing?" - "fine, you?" - "also fine. Um, I don't really know what to talk about, nothing has happened." (which is how it usually goes).
Back from the dentist. I'll tell you, having to hold your mouth wide open for two hours is distinctly unpleasant. And during the last half hour, the anesthetic started to wear off so I got a couple of painful jolts. But it's done now. And I'm not even doing that much numb-faced drooling. I'll have to go back in a couple of weeks to have a crown put on it.Magpie: So glad your rucksack was recovered! I've been fortunate to not have lost a bag, but some a$$hole snatched my purse many years ago. There wasn't much cash in it but it was all the cash I had at the time. The real pain was having to get my driver's license replaced, cancelling checks and credit & debit cards and getting them re-issued. And the fact that I couldn't get more cash because my debit & credit cards were gone, couldn't write a check because I had no I.D. because my driver's license was gone. I had to take time off work (unpaid) to go into the bank with my passport to withdraw money to pay the fee to replace my driver's license.
Oh dear, cyan, that must have been a dreadful lot of bother! I was so glad that I did at least still have my wallet - I always keep that in a separate, smaller bag that I usually stuff into the rucksack, but today I'd taken it out because I had to mail a letter on the way to the train station (and the letter was in the small bag). Otherwise I would have had neither a train pass or money to buy a ticket (admittedly most of the conductors know me, and don't ask me for my ticket any more, but who knows, I might have ended up with a different one!)And I agree about keeping your mouth open for so long - I often get headaches for a few days afterwards, even after much shorter treatments.
Magpie wrote:Oh dear, cyan, that must have been a dreadful lot of bother!
Oh dear, cyan, that must have been a dreadful lot of bother!
Yeah, it was pretty dreadful. The thing that really pissed me off about that whole incident was the fact that there was only about $15 in my wallet at the time. This happened about 20 years ago so the technology wasn't there for your typical purse-snatcher to really take advantage of having someone's credit or debit cards, or checks. (I got everything cancelled immediately.) So that a$$hole was simply going for the cash. It cost me way more than $15 to deal with the consequences; I'd have been happy to just give him the money!

Nasa's Curiosity rover has only been on the surface of Mars seven weeks but it has already turned up evidence of past flowing water on the planet.The robot has returned pictures of classic conglomerates - rocks that are made up of gravels and sand.Scientists on the mission team say the size and rounded shape of the pebbles in the rock indicate they had been transported and eroded in water.Researchers think the rover has found a network of ancient streams.The rocks, which were described in a media briefing at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, were likely laid down "several billion years ago". But the actual streams themselves may have persisted on the surface for long periods, said Curiosity science co-investigator Bill Dietrich of the University of California, Berkeley."We would anticipate that it could easily be thousands to millions of years," he told reporters.Satellites at Mars have long captured images of channels on the planet's surface that were cut by some kind of flow, assumed to be liquid water. Curiosity's discovery at its landing site in the equatorial Gale Crater provides the first real ground truth for those observations.By luck, the rover just happened to roll past a spectacular example of the conglomerate. A large slab, 10-15cm thick, was lifted out of the ground at an angle."We've named it Hottah," said rover project scientist John Grotzinger. The name refers to a lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. The team is using names from this region to catalogue objects at Gale."To us it just looked like somebody came along the surface of Mars with a jackhammer and lifted up the sidewalk that you might see in downtown LA at a construction site," he joked.Link rock In this view, some of the pebbles have weathered free from the rockScientists are now studying the images of the pebbles in the rock. The sizes and shapes will give them clues to the speed and distance of the ancient water flow.

Le Pain Quotidien Open in Former Tynan Spot
The Shops at Wisconsin Place plaza has a lively cafe again.
The wait is over. Le Pain Quotidien opened this week in the former Tynan Coffee and Tea location on the plaza of The Shops at Wisconsin Place. On Tuesday afternoon, the restaurant was bustling, and diners packed the patio in the pleasant spring weather. The 1,331-square-foot restaurant, which seats 34 diners inside and 38 outside on the patio, was constructed with "eco-friendly features such as LED light fixtures, recycled cast iron arched windows and a recycled church pew," according to a news release from Le Pain Quotidien. The business' name means "the daily bread," and its motto is "where friends and strangers alike come together." Founded in Belgium in 1990, the restaurant is "renowned for its pâtisserie goods—macaroons, madeleines, …

I visited Le Pain this afternoon. What an abysmal experience! It took more than 30 minutes to get two coffees and a pastry. The wait staff was non-existent and seemed to ignore everyone. If their service doesn't improve quickly, it won't be in business for long in Chevy Chase, which is a pity since it could be a real asset for the neighborhood.   more ›

As a webmaster in charge of a tiny site that has a forum, I regularly receive complains from users that both the internal search engine and that external searches (like when using Google) are totally polluted by my users' signatures (they're using long sigs and that's part of the forum's experience because sigs makes a lot of sense in my forum).
So basically I'm seeing two options as of now:
rendering the signature as a picture and when a user click on the "sig picture" it gets taken to a page that contains the real sig (with the links in the sig etc.) and that page is set as being non-crawlable by search engine spiders). This would consume some bandwith and need some work (because I'd need an HTML renderer producing the picture etc.) but obviously it would solve the issue (there are tiny gotchas in that the sig wouldn't respect the font/color scheme of the users but my users are very creative with their sigs anyway, using custom fonts/colors/size etc. so it's not that much of an issue).
marking every part of the webpage that contains a sig as being non-crawlable.
However I'm not sure about the later: is this something that can be done? Can you just mark specific parts of a webpage as being non-crawlable?

Recipes from Paula Deen and 'Diabetes in a New Light' allow you to enjoy the holidays while sticking to your diabetes regimen
With calorie-packed foods and sugary drinks often at the center of holiday gatherings, the season can be more challenging than festive for many Americans living with type 2 diabetes. But American cooking star Paula Deen, who has type 2 diabetes, is letting people know that it's still possible to enjoy all that the holidays have to offer while making smart decisions about healthy eating.
'Celebrating the holidays with my family and friends with a delicious Southern meal is one of my favorite traditions, and that won't change because of my diabetes,' said Paula. 'You know, I still enjoy my favorite holiday foods, but I've changed the way my plate looks.
I've been doublin' up on my greens and cutting back on the sodium and carbs. I've also added some of the diabetes-friendly recipes that we've made for Diabetes in a New Light to my holiday menu, and now my whole family will enjoy them too!'
Paula, along with her sons Bobby and Jamie, teamed up with Novo Nordisk on Diabetes in a New Light to lighten up some of their family's favorite dishes and to provide a resource to help people with diabetes and their families make healthier eating a regular part of their diabetes care, during the holidays and throughout the year. The Gingered Butternut Squash and Green Apple Mash in a new light recipe is a delicious alternative to traditional mashed potatoes.
'Exercise is also an important part of managing your diabetes,' adds Paula. 'I used to hate exercise and hardly ever made time for it. I know we're all busy, but once you commit to adding a little physical activity to each day, before y'all know it, exercise will become part of your new daily routine, too.
It's easy! I normally walk on a treadmill for at least a mile a day and sometimes outside after dinner with my husband, Michael. Whenever I think about skipping a walk, I remind myself how good I feel afterwards.'

Thread: War Leaders
Jun 03 2012 08:43 PM #1
War Leaders
I may be the only one experiencing this, and I really could attribute it to burn out, but are any other WLs finding it hard to love their class? I have a fairly balanced play between raiding, small grouping and soloing, and I understand we're not really made for amazing solo experienced. However, lately I have been feeling that my overall class is clunky. Couple of things (please let me know if you've found ways to counter these!).
- Shouts seem to have this whacky delay. I'll hit the key and there seems to be a delay from when it is hit and when it goes off. Now, I am in Australia and latency does attribute to this, but it isn't usually this bad, and over the five years I've been playing, it certainly hasn't been like this.
- Damage is horridly low. I feel like a get quite a few resists, and then what does hit does half of what the tool tip says, if I'm lucky. I realise that with audacity and mits, we do (everyone does) take a hit, but this is really beginning to get tiresome for smaller group/solo fights.
- Healing. Not sure about anyone else, but I feel that the commander's stance needs another heal and should have that lovely heal on the run that brawler's has. I get FF'd all the time, guaranteed switch when I pop into a fight, so it'd be nice to be able to heal kite (like just about every freep class does). And, watching folks die out of group because you only have one thing to burn on them (assuming bubble has been put on someone else) sucks. In raid/group isn't much better. I feel like we need more healers just to keep us alive through the DPS, especially with minstrels outputting full healing in WS.

Re: War Leaders
Indeed, WL is the worst class in the entire game. Pretty much the only reasons I play it are habit, aesthetics and it's role.

Re: War Leaders
I completely agree with you, i looked at your sig and you are a higher ranks than my rank 11 warleader, but yes i really noticed it after audacity changes hit, i get next to no reward because most of the time im healing/bubbling other classes, and if i do give the odd shout, audacity seems to nullify any of it.
What most frustrates me is that whilst i dont claim to be the best warleader, a completely new to the ettenmoors minstrel can get into a 1v1 fight, i will use everything at my disposal to beat it, one time i even got some pay2win things just to see if there was a difference. The minstrel beat me hands down every fight, the lowest i got it was 2k. Whilst i do not claim to be a badass, i think after five years i have picked up a thing or two!
RE the issues you posted, shouts have a horrible delay, whilst the introduction of that "instant crit" shout is nice, it is rendered useless because it takes about 10 seconds for me to see the benefits of that. Shouts are the warleaders main way of dealing damage, and they are extremely ineffective nowadays given what you said re: damage.
I appreciate that the class we are, we are not meant to deal insane amounts of damage. But logic would say we are meant to have some sort of trade off. We have the largest pool of moral on creepside is the only thing i can think of. I have heard even a warg when traited correctly can have the same mits as a warleader.
It just seems that we do everything very badly, yes the bubble is nice and can help.. but i have found due to the lag issues it is not always as effective, and i have bubbled a creep after the patch to make it instant, and the sheer amount of freep DPS has burned through that, now baring in mind the creep i bubbled was on around 1k moral, i was shocked.
We have the only in combat res on the creep side, which they have added a longer cooldown for granted. But i either use it now to res soloers as there are nobody playing defilers, or as a tactic in a raid situation. Creep out of combat ressing is sevrely lacking.
I log into my warleader and i really try hard to find plusses to the class i have invested so much in, but even after this long i just feel as though it has been worthless. I cannot even get the required audacity as i receive next to zero commendations for the style i play (which is a supporting commanding role). So apart from the 400/500+ moral rank 11 gives me, i am basically less powerful on paper than a rank 1 warleader who has bought all from the store. Which is horrific
You see numerous posts complaining about other classes, unfortunately very few about warleaders, because as you say.. you dont see any new warleaders anymore because they are simple are not played.
I really hope turbine do something to fix us, i do not want to be OP, i just want to find something interesting again about our class.
Judging by the complete lack of response to any posts on this forum by any turbine rep, however constructive they are i really have reservations about the warleader being addressed, not sure we are shouting loud enough. I could be wrong! And i hope i am.
For what it is worth, may be worth sending an email to turbine so they at least have to respond to your issues.
You are right about being burnt out. But what you have posted is completely reasonable and i challenge anyone to say otherwise. Think high ranked warleaders are the most underloved class in the game.
edit: I just remembered actually, we are the only class in the game that can be immune to any damage, cc or powerdrain in certain situations, Warleader raid is only themed raid that has this cannot be killed unless a GM gets involved! For those not in the loop, it is the warleader bug that is been around since dawn of game, one of my warleader buds got 2 day ban for getting the bug!Last edited by ToastyGStar; Jun 03 2012 at 10:00 PM.

Re: War Leaders
I have a baby R3 War Leader and all I can say is that lowbie experience is simply dire. Three attacks, two of which do common damage, all on longish cooldowns and all doing damage that can only be described as feeble. When killing Gramsfoot slugs seems interminable then you know that something is wrong. I'm hoping that Brawler's Stance makes soloing quests more tolerable but I'm not holding my breath (and why are the two stances R6 ffs? It's just senseless).
Playing a WL in a group is certainly more fun but the healing options are really limited and in no way can they be compared to anything that a level cap freep fresh to the moors can do. On the other hand at least I can last a few seconds of being focus fired which makes a nice change from my warg.
In short, soloing is for masochists, grouping is ok fun but it does feel like you are just acting as a meat shield for the others. A class revamp is long overdue.

Re: War Leaders
I rolled a Warleader with the hope that it would be something like the Cappy class....it really isn't.
I mean he is only r3 but the complete lack of damaging skills and the low-damage the skills I have do seems a little unfair.

Re: War Leaders
I've noticed this too. However, sometimes it actually helps. When I'm using a crit heal from Power of Fear, if I use the heal right before I get stunned, the heal will go off before I get stunned and after the stun wears off, the Power of Fear buff is still up and I can throw the heal again. Probably one of those bugs that Turbine will never quash.
**edit** on the subject of warleaders in general...I think they are in an okay spot. They certainly can absorb a lot of damage and are much more interesting to play in a raid situation than a reaver. I do think that Commander's Stance needs a little buff or we need something else to do during raid fights. When I'm not getting harassed in a raid, I'm mostly standing around waiting for my heals to come off cooldown. Why is it that a minstrel can hit BC or RtS indefinitely but I have to wait several seconds for CtW? Reduce the cd on CtW or give me something else to during a controlled fight. One idea would be a 10-20 second cd skill with a short duration (~10 seconds) that buffs an ally's incoming healing, outgoing/incoming damage, or even run speed. These all would fit in the flavor of the class as well.Last edited by asearchforreason; Jun 04 2012 at 06:10 PM.

Re: War Leaders
Warleaders have got some problems. Among all the bugs, inability to deal damage, and inability to heal as effectively as we need to, we also can't see to keep ourselves alive as we are the first target that gets FF'ed or harrased. Commander's stance is not worth it because of harrasment, and brawlers stance doesn't have enough healing power. It gets pretty tough to play some, if not most, of the time.

Re: War Leaders
On the damage its the Audacity is whats killing our dps...I crit for 1,200 on low ranked freeps but higher tiers i dont even crit unless i use Call the shadow..Im also in solo/Duo/small groups.I have noticed with commander stance every heal I do I automaticly get almost every NPC thats on my group so that part of the skill seems broken to me. And for the delay...I dont really see a Delay on shouts and i use Menacing Roar alot.
Nope, we did have warleaders but their class role has changed to cheerleader.

Re: War Leaders
I love my WL in group play, 6 mans and raids the WL is great, hes not perfect though, we can use another heal and our healing needs to be upped.
Plus some kinda self bubble would be amazing since we are always targetted first by most freep classes, tbh the bubble might not work but even another type of banner that can increase inductions from freeps or something when to close to us, something to help us in Commander Stance, since this is our big heals stance.
Jun 06 2012 09:55 AM #15
Re: War Leaders
I do feel sorry for the young WL's trying to push through.
I still think we need:
- An aoe stun. Like the OP npcs
- Another heal for the standard roatation
- A slight DPS increase. Although not enough to become FOTM
My survivabilty is mostly always better then those around me but it would be nice to be able to use a self bubble Just throwing that out there.
That or a defeat response skill that affects group only and gives some small buff. (because we are meant to be the support class and all..)Click for latest pvmp vid --> FiZZE- OoFS

If WL actually adhered to it's class description I'd be happy. Strength and fear should shine through in the way it plays. They do not at the moment.

Re: War Leaders
Is where I've posted my stuff before so there is no need to repost it.
With regards to the OP there is nothing more fun than looking at your crit hit damage and noticing that its lower than the damage stated on the tooltip for a standard hit. Or trying so hard to heal your team mates but succumbing to cooldowns or that one annoying freep that is able to interrupt your inductions without proper interrupts.
The Warleader is the one class that is still stuck back in Moria. I'd hope for an update with Rohan but I'm expecting more store related stuff first.

Re: War Leaders
Warleaders are great in a group. Many, many times, I've seen my whole group wipe *after* I got killed first, especially when there's no other healer the group. Even when there is, the defiler heal-over-times can't seem to compete with my ability to bubble and restore a creep under focus fire quickly, plus the defilers can't resurrect in combat, which is crucial sometimes. (Not that the 30-second cooldown on the defiler resurrect isn't an awesome alternative to burning our six minute cooldown resurrect, but there are some times you really need the in-combat multi-target one.) A smart group will do what they can to keep its Warleader(s) alive.
Out of group, warleaders fail. I've heard something about getting commendations for healing out-of-group, but I've never seen it happen? There aren't any deeds for healing or resurrecting like there are for getting killing blows X number of times. If there are a bunch of ungrouped creeps fighting a freep group, I don't suggest joining in as a warleader. Not likely to get any killing blows or even do enough damage to get that many commendations, and if all you do is heal, you won't get any commendations because you aren't grouped with the people doing the damage. If they don't want to share the infamy and commendations in a group, why bother hanging around to heal and resurrect them? Unless I'm mistaken, Crack the Whip is the only heal you can use on them out of group even if you really want to help for some reason. (Of course, if you and other creeps are PvE questing and get attacked by a freep or freeps, by all means work together, even out of group, but is there really any point in intentionally joining a creep versus freep battle as an out-of-group warleader?) Plus, the freeps won't know you're out of group, except possibly if they actually look and notice your aura isn't on the other creeps, so they're still going to focus fire you just as if you are the healing protective force you could be in a group. At which point, you may as well just do PvE questing, since you'll get commendations and infamy faster that way.
In one versus ones (whether formal challenges, or just solo freeps you ran across while you were soloing)... I suppose once you get brawler's stance, you might be able to win occasionally against some of the weaker freeps, but not often enough to advance at more than a snail's pace.
Speaking of which, am I the only person who finds commander's stance practically useless any time there are freeps around? Any half-coordinated freep group will at least send someone to interrupt my inductions, even if they don't outright focus fire me, and at least brawler's stance lets me get the group heal off without having an induction to interrupt, and if I throw in some shouts I can get a single heal off with power of fear from time to time. The only times commanders stance seems to be useful is in a group PvE situation -- just taking a outpost or keep when there are no freeps around or something like that.
Also, one time when my group asked me to focus on tanking rather than healing for some reason, and a number of people died and needed to be resurrected, when I hit the resurrect, they all woke up at the rez circle for some reason? They asked me if I had jumped when I hit the resurrect, and I hadn't, but I had been knocked into the air. Captain-generals seem to knock you in the air a lot when you tank them. So, if I am in the air (either because I jumped or was knocked), my resurrect will break? Since I can't really do anything about if if the captain-general knocks me in the air at the precise moment I hit the resurrect, does this mean not only can I not tank and heal effectively at the same time, I can't even tank and resurrect reliably at the same time?
Jun 08 2012 06:39 PM #22
Re: War Leaders
If you're in the air or just had died as soon as you hit the rez, they'll go to the rez circle.
And yes, if freeps have half a brain and put one person on you, commander's stance is completely useless. The dev who reworked the WL class obviously doesn't play one or at least doesn't PvP with it.
As far as healing, once you burn Uruk heal and the 15 minute cooldown one, when stuck in brawler stance (which is about the only way to go to get a heal off ... which is to get your shouts on a faster cooldown so you can crit and get power of fear going), WL healing blows. The single target isn't spammable like what every other freep healer has, and both the single and group heals are pretty pathetic. Look at your health, look at what the heal is for, ~1k. You're now on a 3 second cooldown for your single heal and the freeps will blow through that 1k in about 1 second.Vyxe - Daily PvMP Stats - Monster Manual, Interactive Ettenmoors Maps

Re: War Leaders
I don't like when the 'they're good in groups' excuse is used. For one, we are not as good in groups as any of our freep counterparts. Every class has the right to be able to do something solo, every freep class can and every creep class except WL can (defilers with blight can make a lot of inf).

Re: War Leaders
I'm not saying that the warleader doesn't need improvement to become more competitive with freep healers, just that it's not such a horrible class that no one should bother playing one. Then there would be lots of sad raids with no healers or only with defilers.
I made a warleader because I like grouping, but it's always frustrating without a healer and I wanted to be part of the solution rather than continuing to fail miserably on my reaver. But yeah, it would be nice to not be so useless when soloing anything more than a few NPCs, since you can't always find a decent group to run with.
Aklouie, do you have the class trait that gives you +25% healing slotted? I find that helps a lot. And the more mitigations, avoidances, and audacity you have, the longer 1k of morale will last.
Jun 08 2012 11:24 PM #25
Re: War Leaders
I would assume he is, but he is also running Brawlers. The main WLs that run in his raid have no choice but to run in that stance as if we didn't, we'd never, ever get a heal off. Most E freeps are pretty darn good at getting on the WLs/Defilers and keeping us moving or interupted. -40% healing. Thus, with the +25%, we're still -15% down. I try to stance dance as much as possible when I get a crit, but that is a power sap.
It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a healing penalty for self heals, like minstrels, or if the heal on the run was put in the logical, healing stance.Last edited by CandiceAurora; Jun 08 2012 at 11:28 PM.

Re: War Leaders
We need a more reliable slow
Some form of CC
Alternate and improved forms of damage output
Increased support utility options and capability
(For that last one, turbine really needs to take a look at how the warleader can help to give thorough support to every creep class, +25% melee damage or +2% mits and 500 health and then having the option between two banners, which aren't that impressive, made them support classes at level 50, not at level 75/85)
In order for the warleader to get what it needs to fulfil its role though, the defiler class would need a thorough reconstruction at the same time as the warleader.
One thing I want to see specifically on the warleader is something that helps them perform at PvP tanking. Some sort of arbitrary cooldown(s?) like all freepside tanks have. Something that further increases their ability to mitigate damage (I originally thought perhaps a new stance with +5% mitigations, +10% BPE that turned bubble into an ability to use on self only at 50%, not sure how cluttered I want stances to become though).

Jun 09 2012 06:59 AM #27
Re: War Leaders
Warleaders are awful. To have to rely on Shout crits to have any hope of getting even a single heal off is wrong. 1 Freep hitting a WL and the WL is largely useless, they'll never get an induction off. The don't function in any role, DPS, heals, tank - they are mediocre at everything.
I mean..it's a healer class...that can't heal. Even if by some miracle of idiocy you aren't being attacked, you don't have enough heals to actually be consistently healing...in comparison, Minnies 2 primary heals can have no cooldown at all (and can be impossible to interrupt). Mins heals actually scale well in comparison to Creep damage. WL heals aren't nearly enough to mitigate Freep damage. It is a joke.Last edited by PhantomPunkk; Jun 09 2012 at 07:18 AM.

Re: War Leaders
I run 90% of the time in Brawler's. And I usually play on groups from 2-6 creeps.
I rather playing my Warleader as a frontman and taking all the damage than staying on the back inducting heals.
If the opposing group has good heals, your shouts are worthless. I think you just better switch to healing if you're not freep aggroed.
Regarding Commander's, it's useless if you have melee classes all over you, but it can be really powerful if you're free to induct.
I got rank 9 last night, and I can say we are totally dependant on our 2 big CD heals.
I made a test with a BA and an RK, I sit there just freely inducting heals on the BA and I wanted to see if I could outheal the RK dps. No deal.
Maybe if we could get a lower cooldown on Quit Whining and Fight..

Re: War Leaders
I think that the way to fix WL heals once and for all would be to add an uninducted, moderate heal that could fill the gap between our two standard heals. Also add a group wide buff that reduces incoming damage for a certain amount of time or reduces outgoing freep damage for a certain amount of time
I think that those two changes could completely solve the healing problem.
Unfortunately, fixing the WL's combat capabilities is a more complicated issue. Simply upping our damage is not enough, what we need is the introduction of new skills or a significant overhaul of existing ones. I'd be in favour of an AOE melee attack and a shield bash attack that stuns. BOTH OF THESE ANIMATIONS ALREADY EXIST IN SOA-PERIOD URUK NPC's. It would not take long to implement.Leader of Rogues Gallery. Uruk dominance campaigner.

Re: War Leaders
No, they couldn't. While I believe defiler is also a very tedious class, blight helps a lot to alleviate it. BA has no right to claim it is terribly underpowered (though it isn't terribly strong either). Reavers have a tough time, but they can still make a fair bit of inf solo or in groups. Spiders are excellent spawn campers and can do well solo.

Re: War Leaders
We need a dps increase(add a damage type to melee skills) and another heal to fill the hole after the 2 primary heals are used. Preferrably a heal with no induction.
Defeat Response skills would also be nice

Battle of the Bods: Sam and Dean Winchester
The Sexy Supernatural Boys: Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam Winchester, and Jensen Ackles, who plays Dean Winchester
Let's be honest. Supernatural has jumped the shark.
Once upon a time, it was an awesome show. Even now, it has a few worthwhile episodes mixed in with the turdy ones. Like, a few actual Godiva truffles mixed in with those Godiva "gems" you can buy at CVS that are pretty sucky and disappointing. But do you really want to suffer through all that crappy chocolate, those assaults on your taste buds, before getting to the deliciousness? Does anyone relate to this reference, or even understand it? No? Well, that's okay. My point is this: no. No, you do not want to suffer through crap just for the chance you'll see something good.

POWELL, Wyo. — The attorney for a Powell man accused of a robbery earlier this month says her client is ready to accept a prison sentence as part of a plea agreement.
The Powell Tribune reports Monday (http://goo.gl/bZpYF) that the attorney for 38-year-old Obie Phillips says Phillips has agreed to plead no contest to eight of the 12 felony counts he faces. The plea would be in exchange for the dismissal of other charges against him and he would face up to 17 years in prison.
The details of the plea deal were announced in Circuit Court on Friday.
Authorities say Phillips robbed a home in Powell Dec. 11, taking a safe with about $3,300 and a shotgun. Prosecutors have charged three others in connection to the robbery.

I'm new to all this OAuth stuff, but I have Spring OAuth 2.0 working in an application now and I'm starting to have more questions that aren't answered in the documentation. I have a mobile app that is requesting an accessToken using Resource Owner Password Credentials. So when the app launches, we ask the user to login with their username/password and then ask for the token. I get the accessToken and then I save the token for use with all further requests. That is working. What I want to do, is on launch, check if we already have an access token and if so, skip the username/password bit (just log them in). In order to do this, I need to be able to ask the server if the token is valid. How do I do that? I assume there is an endpoint for that, but I don't know what it is...
A separate but related question: I can't find any documentation on all the exposed OAuth resources. In the examples, they always have an http block for all the "protected OAuth resources" but none of them seem to work for me. Things like /oauth/users, /oauth/clients. I would also like to be able to ask for a users tokens to display them on an account page. I would assume those endpoints would help me in both of these problems.
Any help is appreciated!
