Fellow BILLS fans, I am writing today to inform you that we have already surpassed our road win total from last year. I am impressed by our teams perseverance to rebound from Spiller's Loss at...
Hell yes.
#Bobcats won't have Reggie Williams for 6-8 weeks. He needs surgery to fix a meniscus tear.— Rick Bonnell (@rick_bonnell) December 15, 2011
Can the whining stop now please? I swear the negativity on this website makes me refrain from visiting at times.
USA Today article
This is my first trade post, so keep that in mind. I think Sacramento would do it to rid themselves of Francisco Garcia's long-term salary (they are shopping him for that reason), and the fact that Landry has already said he will sign elsewhere. Gives us some low post offense, and an extra ball handler and shooter off the bench. What do you guys think?
I can't believe Hollinger is giving us dabs. Copy and pasted for those who don't have insider. Golden State The Warriors are 15-22, but they've also played just 15 home games -- the league's fewest -- and 22 road games. Given the considerable advantage they enjoy in Oakland, that should give them a big boost in the second half of the season. As should the fact they're healthy for the first time in eons. David Lee was playing hurt when he played at all in the first half of the season, and Louis Amundson, Stephen Curry and Andris Biedrins also missed time. Golden State should put up slightly more defensive resistance now that the frontcourt is intact and, as a result, is capable of playing .500 ball or better the rest of the way. In fact, you'll be surprised to note the Playoff Odds see the Warriors with a 14.4 percent chance of making the postseason, giving them better odds than rapidly fading Phoenix and roughly the same chance as Houston. It's unlikely the Warriors will surge quite that strongly, even if Denver takes itself out of the picture … but the fact we're even having this discussion is a welcome change after the team made a laughingstock of itself the previous two seasons.
We are starting to get some publicity. Whether you believe the article or not, we all have to agree that January is the key to our season.
I like that he's looking for help in-season, looks like Riley knows what he's doing and is going to shop our expirings after all...
It gives me unbelievable joy to post this link. Everyone that was calling for a Monta trade in the past, please stop posting hypothetical trade scenarios for inferior players. Hell NEW Management says neither Iguodala or Josh Smith would be enough to pry Ellis away from us. Let's focus our energy on actually watching the games and willing our way to a playoff run. LGW! LGW! LGW! Ellis and Curry best backcourt in the league, intelligent Warriors fans know it and soon so will the rest of the league.
First time post here. And I'm sad that this is my first post, for those of you who haven't read it, please do.
"However, he's still young. He's only 22. And the Blazers are smart to move things along slowly. There's no reason to try and rush him to be ready for October when Portland will actually need him later. So if that means he's out until December, so be it. Yao Ming is being put on a basketbal pitch count, so why can't Oden be on a game count?" Yao's and Oden's reduced playing time hopefully coupled with Anthony's departure to the East Coast makes a playoff appearance more than a pipe dream. What do you guys think? Like I've been saying Fellow Dub Fans we will make the playoffs, We Believe 2011.
I hope they do it soon, Carney and hopefully Amundson would bolster our bench greatly. Go Warriors!!!!!!!
Great article on Curry and the Warriors. I'm really excited for next year, and I think we'll make the playoffs, call me crazy. On a related note, do you think there's any chance Nene will want out of Denver with Anthony's impending departure? Hoopsworld says he has an ETO next year. I hope we sign M. Gasol or Nene, with our salary room and forget making a play for a 3.
Beware Monta Haters, he's on the list, and I agree with the writer's assessment.
Thank God the sale finally went through! Now that Udoh is out for 6 months, we need another big man to help us through that time. I personally like either Lou Amundson, Craig Smith, Sean Williams (for shotblocking), Josh Boone, or Anthony Tolliver. What do you guys think?
David Lee Highlight. A fun highlight of David Lee, I've never seen this done before.
I know this has been brought up before, but now that he is officially a free agent what do you guys think of bringing him in? Listed at 6-7 250 (he weighs more than all of our power forwards) solid defender, and can stick the 3 point shot. I would love to have him with part of our MLE.
From DraftExpress: Also heard that GS has a trade offer on the table to move Gadzuric and Biedrins to Denver for Kenyon Martin. Can't be done till August 22nd.DraftExpress
An interesting take on Monta's field goal attempts and shooting percentage.
Wow, I want to at least see the Ellis-Curry backcourt for 20 games, and want Biedrins to boost his trade value but that's not going to happen. Oh well, Curry will put up even more stats to boost his R.O.Y. campaign.
I'm so glad they shot this down, although I think all the Monta Haters, and USC Homers are crying in the corner.
Thought this would be interesting to my fellow Warrior Fan.
Bad news for the 10 people that don't want Cohan selling. I hope he gets scared into selling on this article alone. Larry Ellison come save us.
Does anyone have any idea what we are going to do with Claxton's or Law's expiring contracts? I have seen absolutely no talk about the Warriors with any free agents or trades, does anyone in...
Answers to two questions we have been asking the last two weeks. Amare and Cohan.
How come noone is reporting this anywhere, I thought this would be the very first post I saw especially since Stephen Jackson has his fair share of advocates and haters. It now is full tank mode but I say what do we have to lose (other than more games). Anyway here is the link our friends at hoopshype.com have trumped GSOM once again. http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/videos/2009/03/26/stephen-jackson-it-was-time-to-shut-it-down-and-get-it-fixed/

Report states Florida behind in key economical areas
Florida is lagging behind the rest of the country in key economic areas.
That's according to the "Tougher Choices" report released today by the Collins Institute and the University of Florida.
It shows that funding for k-12 education is lagging, and that teacher salaries declined at the fourth fastest rate from 2000 to 2012. The report also went in to detail about infrastructure, reliance on sales tax, and the retirement system.
"Maybe you can turn it around if you really invest seriously in the infrastructure needed to make our cities, sort of, dynamic economic engines and in education. But we don't have any room, at current tax rates anyway, to do that."
The report suggests raising sales tax to seven percent in the state to create more revenue.

|What are the veteran benefits available to women veterans?
Women veterans in need of financial assistance are entitled to the same state benefits as men veterans under M.G.L. Chapter 115, administered by the veterans� agent of each city or town. The Department of Veterans� Services acknowledges that women veterans have needs and concerns not experienced by the general male veteran population. The Women Veterans� Network of the Department of Veterans� Services was established in 1977, with the vision of being the central resource for women veterans residing in Massachusetts. Members of the Women Veterans Network Committee include women veterans from all eras, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs representatives, local veterans� agents, and veterans� service organizations. The Women�s Veterans Network works in identifying, locating and educating women veterans in Massachusetts on available quality health and human services programs. It is the central resource for referrals for women veterans in Massachusetts.
Among its goals are:
Women are also encouraged to contact their local veterans� agents to see what range of benefits they are entitled to under federal and state laws.
|What is the Federal and State definition of a "Veteran"?
FEDERAL DEFINITION: under Federal Law a VETERAN is any person, who served honorably on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. (Discharges marked GENERAL AND UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS also qualify.)
|What Local/State Services and Benefits are available to eligible veterans?

This aid is dispensed by the Veterans� Services Office from Town funds and is reimbursed by the Commonwealth at a rate of 75%. This aid is paid by check directly to the recipient and must be repaid if circumstances permit.
HOSPITAL/MEDICAL/FUEL � Eligible veterans and their families can have their hospital, medical and fuel bill paid by the Town with a 75% reimbursement from the Commonwealth.
BURIAL � All deceased veterans receive a casket flag and an aluminum grave marker. Honor guards are also available.

Hand Bike Stationary
Working With Your Fitness Stationary Bike
Much like swimming, workout on a fitness stationary bike has been hailed as a great method to getting in shape and perhaps dropping some weight along the way. Unlike swimming, no prior training is required. Anyone can get on a bike and start pedaling without any danger of falling off or hitting an innocent pedestrian.
Before embarking on any exercise routine, take a minute or two to formulate your fitness routine. Noting the term routine, it means something to be adhered to and not a one-off affair. No pain no gain, as the saying goes. If your goal is to look sharper and shed some weight, discuss with your doctor on the correct way to go about it. In the event you're fortunate enough to have access to a fitness instructor, ask him or her to customize a suitable program. Alternatively, you may already be in tip-top condition and is aiming to complete a grueling Ironman marathon. This will certainly require a resistance-loaded program.
Goal in hand, you now have something to measure your progress. For added accountability, tell your family and friends to monitor and goad you on. If necessary, attach a reasonable deadline to achieve your goals. Else you're setting yourself up for a game with moving goal posts.
If you already have an Exercise Bike at home, get on it and start burning those calories. If boredom is your worst enemy, clip on some ear plugs and enjoy a ride to the beat of your favorite music. Else face your bike towards flora and fauna to simulate a trip through nature. Alternatively, include reading or puzzles as part of your fitness routine. It's all the more reason for physical activity to complement mental alertness. This is probably only possible with a Recumbent Bike which allows you to comfortably recline into your seat. Whatever you do, don't downgrade your bike into a secondary clothes hamper.
With patience and perseverance, all the time spent on your fitness stationary bike will start translating into toned muscles and looser clothing.

Mossman Gorge
Mossman Gorge is a natural swimming hole surrounded by rainforest. A shuttle bus takes you there from the tourist information center or you can walk. I would pay the $4 to not have to walk. It is a beautiful spot with walkways going through the forest and fast running water with small waterfalls that make for a fun sort-of-waterslide, just jump off the rocks under the walk platform.

There are no kangaroos in Austria.
We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!
Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

I can`t believe it`s june already, time really flies theses days...!
So here are some favorites right now that I am using:
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
I am still a bit on the fence about this, but it really is working better than my previous foundation-routine, which broke me out horribly and was just absolutely the wrong color and so uncomfortable. I have reallyreally crazy and sensitive skin, so most foundations don`t work on me (especially since they usually have chemical SPF in them). The color range in NARS is really amazing (nice yellow-toned hues), and the coverage is really good. It also doesn`t contain SPF which is probably the most important factor. On the downside it feels a bit drying throughout the day and kind of settles into the pores by the end, but I am determined to make it work anyway :)!
Summer Scents
Victoria`s Secret Lemon Escape EdT
This stuff smells like summer; it`s a mix of lemon and coconut and really refreshing, yet not too sweet. I spray it on constantly because it just smells too delicious (like something you would want to eat ;)).
The Body Shop Madagascan Vanilla Flower EdT
If you are into oriental and warm scents, this is for you. Somehow it still works for summer, because it is not too heavy. It smells creamy and vanilla-y, yet the vanilla is not too overwhelming.
This song is perfect for summer:

This fabric isn't real denim, it's a "look a like" cotton, which actually makes it lighter. I love the casual look of it and where it during all seasons ( in winter with a big chunky sweater and a pear of boots ). had lots of problems fitting the sleeves since the upper part is quite fitted, the sleeves had to have extra room for movement, so i tried a few solutions and eventually came out with this fold,( which corresponds with the one on the pockets ) and over all, i'm quite happy with it.

beautifully sew up, good sense of detailing. The fabric is called Chambray by the way

Proximity and Coresidence of Adult Children and their Parents: Description and Correlates
AbstractThe ability of family members to engage in intergenerational transfers of hands-on care requires close proximity or coresidence. In this paper we describe and analyze the patterns of proximity and coresidence involving adult children and their mothers using data from the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) and the U.S. Census. Although intergenerational coresidence has been declining in the United States, most Americans live within 25 miles of their mothers. In both the raw data and in regression analyses, the most robust predictor of proximity of adult children to their mothers is education. Individuals are less likely to live near their mothers if they have a college degree. Virtually all previous studies have considered coresidence alone, or else treat coresidence as a limiting case of close proximity. We show that this treatment is misleading. We find substantial differences in the correlates of proximity by gender and marital status, indicating the need to model these categories separately. Other demographic variables such as age, race and ethnicity also affect the probability of coresidence and close proximity, but characteristics indicating a current need for transfers (e.g., disability) are not correlated with close proximity.

Today's games are I am an Insane Rogue AI, Darkest Days, Ghost Hacker. It's like a digital Wizard of Oz today, we've got virus, and hacking, and AIs … oh my!
I am an Insane Rogue AI
Okay, first thing's first I'm going to address the fact that they use the word "insane" in the title. This is great example of a game that could have been really great without the disablist language in the title. I am an Evil Rogue AI would have worked just as well, and they would have been able to still use the creepy distorted voice that they wanted to. Some might call it a small quibble, I call it being inclusive.
Because the game itself is a lot of fun. The quick run down is that you need to hack various computers in facilities all over the planet, they're randomly generated, and once you've hacked all the smaller computers you get to the mainframe and take over the system. It sounds easy, but you've got scientists that are trying to prevent you from hacking the system walking about the facility. In order to deal with them, you can turn the lights off and on to spook them, make the phone ring and have them move towards it, you can lock the doors to prevent them from changing floors, and you can even take over the droids and have them go on a rampage of destruction! The difficulty ramps up with maintenance people who can unlock doors, security guards that can shoot the droids and stop your hacking attempts. Later on you get special ops who are stealthy in the dark, hackers that crash your hacked computers that cause you to get closer to losing and all sorts of stuff. Another moment to be inclusive that was missed, there is only one woman character and that's the hacker. This is cool that they're the hacker and are one of the most painful characters in the game, but again it doesn't take much to make some of the other characters women too. I mean, Nerdook uses the same sprites for everything they do and there are quite a few women sprites. Again, moment to be inclusive that was missed.
The game gives you two methods to win. You can be passive and not kill anyone, or you can go on the rampage and destroy all the pathetic humans th
at stand in your way. What is a nice element to the game is that they give you a bonus for being sneaky. There's even a nice change with the resolution screen. The text that you get depends on if you ended up killing a person or if you managed to get through without a single body to your count. I enjoy the fact that the game rewards being clever than just destroying everything in sight. The interesting twist is that most of the powerups make it easier to just wipe everyone out.
It's a great game, but frustrating again on how a game designer can hit the "default" in their brain and miss great opportunities to not be a dude.
Random Value Judgement Rating: (0) (0) (0) (0) (0) – 5 Evil AIs staring at you. That's right, I said Evil.
Darkest Days
We never learn. Seriously. You think with all the games, movies, stories out there about people creating AIs and then watching as they end up destroying everything we'd just not make any AI. Have you ever seen/read/heard anything good about people developing AIs? No? My point.
In Darkest Days you play the pilot of the only power suit that can take on Alpha Core and it's legion of self-replicating robot minions. There is a distinct Gauntlet feel to the game where the robots are generated from bases and the only way to really advance is to make sure you destroy the bases first. That's hard because they're constantly pumping out robots, and unlike gauntlet you can't just wade your way through them. You'll be doing a lot of diving and moving about the place making sure that you can create enough distance between you and the robots so you can get a clean shot at the bases. The sheer number of robots is staggering at some points in time and it renders the game rather difficult, but it still doesn't have that 'twitchy' game factor that a lot of other games like this have.
Maybe it's because the graphics are very simplistic, and wonderfully so. Most of the robots are basic shapes, like circles or squares, with a couple extra defining features to make sure that you can tell them apart. It makes the opening page funnier when you realize that it's a joke.
Random Value Judgement Rating: O <| [] L A – 5 Robots coming to take over your browser!
Ghost Hacker
Ghost Hacker is a tower defense game where you play as an human who has been turned into an AI so you can hunt down rogue AIs. There are a couple of elements that make this game stand out in the sea of Tower Defense games that you'll find. The first is that it has a story line, which not many do beyond the "Oh no! Here are some more enemies coming to take your base!" The second is that the power ups are based on various colours and the towers will cycle through various colour combinations until they are actually selected, which is a little frustrating when you want a certain colour combination. These upgrade nodes are different depending on the tower that you use, which means that placement becomes something else you have to manage within the game. The last thing is that the towers are able to be moved, they just take a little bit of time to recover before they're functional, which is nice when you have to deal with your space issues. The theme of the game, the fact that you're in the net, is really well maintained by the look and feel of the game.

Is Molly a Dangerous New Drug?
An online warning discusses a new drug known as Molly, which is supposedly a mixture of cocaine, crack, ecstasy, meth, and bath salt. Today we'll take a look at this a little closer.
Molly is a drug, but it is not the concoction listed in the warning.
First, let's take a look at the warning itself:
Molly has been a common drug lately & everyone is trying it. Pop 1 and your sweating? Let me explain why your sweating: Molly is a drug made up of cocaine, crack, ecstasy, meth & bath salt. It slows your heart rate 10x the normal limit & reeks havoc on your immune system with just one pill. Take two & it damages your brain without you even being able realize it. It becomes an addiction & soon a cry for help. By the fifth one you take, it starts killing your organs & preventing them from functioning as normal. It increases your chance of stroke & heart attack and can cause your lungs to stop functioning all together! It is a very powerful & VERY DANGEROUS drug! More harmful than crack itself. Many rappers are promoting it to involve young people in the manufacturing, selling, and usage of the drug. Spread the word to save lives of young people across the country! Show them the truth so they can make an informed & smart decision if they're ever offered it.
What is Molly?
There are currently three different drugs that are referred to as Molly.
The most common definition of Molly refers to the powder or crystalline form of Ecstasy, or MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine). The name "molly" may be short for "molecule" and this form of the drug is said to be more "pure" than regular Ecstasy pills.
Some also refer to the "legal alternative" to Extasy as Molly. This recreational drug is also known as "Legal X" or TFMPP.
Newer definitions of Molly refer to 6-APB, or Benzo Fury, according to Carl Hart, a professor of psychology at Columbia University.
None of these three descriptions of Molly contain cocaine, crack, meth, or bath salt as claimed above. As with any street drug, the ingredients can vary and may include dangerous filler materials such as fertilizer.
The name "Molly" is believed to have been in use for about a decade.
Side Effects of Molly
Some of the side effects of Molly are the same as the pill form of Ecstasy.
- Increased motor activity
- Alertness
- Hallucinations
- Increased heart rate
- Increased blood pressure
- Muscle tension
- Tremors
- Involuntary teeth clenching
- Muscle cramps
- Nausea
- Faintness
- Chills
- Sweating
- Blurred vision.
According to the DEA website, "In higher doses, MDMA can interfere with the ability to regulate body temperature, resulting in a sharp increase in body temperature (hyperthermia), leading to liver, kidney and cardiovascular failure." Some mistakenly believe that the supposedly purer nature of this drug will prevent severe side effects.
Long-term use of MDMA can reduce a person's ability to feel pleasure due to damage to the serotonin system.
Bottom Line
Though Molly is a street drug with potentially serious side effects, it is not a combination of cocaine, meth, and bath salt, nor does it produce the side effects described in the warning being circulated.

Good Day, Everyone! :)
Please. I don't want to hear from the flamers that I'm "whining". Anyone with a Paladin knows what I'm talking about. And Locks will especially not want ANY changes that will take away their "invulnerability". But I'm always reading the latest from Blizz about how they are trying to "balance" PvP, and all my friends show me all their AWESOME new abilities and ways to put together their new spells and talents that give one massive advantage or another. I truly feel Paladins have been left in the cold on things. But I know many other classes MUST feel frustrated about Fear.
EVERY, and I mean every, CC has counter-measures... except Fear. To give an ability to a class that has NO cooldown, that, despite diminishing returns, can be re-cast immediately after the diminishing returns expire, with no penalty, AND doesn't break on life-drains that sap 25% or more of your health... etc. It's absurd. I'm running into DKs that have immunity to stuns. A druid can change forms instantly to break slows and dazes. The list goes on. But Pallys have one thing to break fear... the same trinket EVERYONE has (and humans get for free). Hand of Freedom and Emancipate are equal and equally useless. I don't even care about being rooted cuz I can heal while rooted and cast my ranged attacks. I can waste an ENTIRE talent tier to be able to cast HoF twice, which breaks virtually no meaningful CCs. That's it. DKs can yank people in to melee range. I can run (slowly) up to melee range, only to be feared, which can't be broken, by a class that moves quickly AND can teleport two different ways to 40yd range? THEN the one chance I get close enough to stun and attack, their minion stuns me. And the 2 minute CD trinket I had to use earlier is useless.
I've read so many post by Blizz about "balancing" PvP. Pallys have been nerfed on every patch the last year, while I see new, fun abilities being introduced all around. I see forum post after another about Ret basically being useless in PvP, and it is. I'm a holy warrior, for heaven's sake (pardon the pun) and I can't cleanse a curse?!?
I can't help but get the feeling that the Blizz CEO is a Lock who has a standing order to make Fear invulnerable. EVERY other CC in the game can be broken by one thing or another (not just a 2 min CD trinket that everyone has). I'm not crying... I'm just starting to not care to even try. I've spent the last two months making and re-making macros, changing talents, different glyphs, EVERY thing available to my class, to eek out every millisecond of ability and be more effective, and it's just pointless. I finally went to Holy Shock just so I could attack from range with SOME hope of doing some damage and surviving before the next Fear hits me. I'm not saying make Pallys OP again (cuz we have been in the past). But, frankly, there's nothing special about the class anymore. But I know it's not just Pallys. Fear is just plain OP by itself. No CD. Doesn't break on many HEAVY damage DOTs. This is ridiculous, Blizz. Do you really not see this? Anyone who agrees, please post and add your voice and HOPEFULLY we'll see some balance on this ability. Anyone who disagrees, well, I respectfully disagree in advance. An not-so-deep-down, I know you know it's true. But really, do you want an ability that doesn't even make you have to play the game? I feel no shame in losing to something that can't be removed by anything. But you should feel embarrassed to "need" it to win. Let's get on equal footing, then let our skills speak.
And one quick note... am I the only one who misses the old talent tree? I LOVED picking and choosing what *I* wanted for my own play style! I loved spending 20 minutes making that decision to put that hard-earned talent point where it felt good and fit my play style. And JUST when I hit the level where I could start including cross-spec talents, Blizz "simplified" the talent tree. It made me feel like I was a little kid who couldn't decide for himself what he wanted and what worked best. We CAN think for ourselves, Blizz. And this game shouldn't be about over-simplification. It's supposed to be deep and rich, and make us feel in control of our own "WoW destiny" (not meaning to get cheesy... just what I feel). At the same time they made the talent tree more "manageable" for us, we got Pokemon pet battles introduced. Do they REALLY think it's 10 year olds playing this game? I'm sure there are some, but (I think) most of us are teens and adults who truly appreciate the depth of this game. So please add your intelligent thoughts and feelings about this, and if enough of us who actually care will respond here, maybe the wonderful, hard-working folks at Blizzard will listen. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time!

90 Human Paladin
I'd give my left nut to be able to break fears without using my trinket.
90 Human Paladin
I agree with what you have to say about fear. I do not think you're whining either so just ignore the flame posts to come. I hope blizzard changes the game to make it more interactive in that fear, or loss of character, should not be sole reason I lose a battle as a paladin. Now does it play a factor? Yes I think it should have its place but for cc to dominate the playing field is bar far absurd and not for anyone. Its only a simple way to prevent players from doing damage. I'm just asking for a cool down on fear as I know most suggestions like these are ignored by Blizz. :-/
Fear: Fear the Enemy to Africa. Damage caused WILL NEVER BREAK THE EFFECT! 80% Chance to also fear them all the way back from Africa.
If I manage to rebuke fear, slam the lock until lockout expires, burn burst macro and use fist of Justice at end of the rebuke lock out, I have managed to give the warlock a wild thrashing. I'm just kidding, he trinkets and deathcoils me and then fears me.
The last thing WoW PvP needs is more ways to break fears. However, AoE fears last too long -- when Fear and Poly were reduced from 10 sec to 8 sec, for some reason Howl and Psychic Scream stayed at 8 sec. I suggest these be reduced to 6 sec. The devs want to reduce instant CC, after all.
Tremor is too strong due to the talent Totem Restoration (reduces the CD to around 30 sec). To offset the AoE fear nerf, Tremor should be removed from this talent. It'd feel less countery with a 1 min CD.
The paladin class doesn't need a fear break, but you'd sit in fears less with the changes I suggested, assuming you don't play with a shaman of course. In the meantime you might want to try Glyph of Turn Evil because it's amazing against Psyfiend.

@Gärrëtt: I'm still lmao at your post! :D Thanks for the input so far, everyone. It's nice to know I'm not alone. The more I think about it, the more I just can't wrap my head around it. There's no CD on this ability, and 1.7 secs is no big deal for cast time. Even with diminishing returns, what does that give us? A one-second window between my 14th consecutive second of running around feared and the reset on the diminishing returns, and watching it start all over again. The fact that SO much damage can be received via life-drain, and still it doesn't break. Honestly, I don't mind fighting head to head with the best of anyone! But to give an already very powerful class the ability to make it so they don't even have to fight? And on a side note, what are Rets supposed to do (about anything)? So many great abilities got introduced to other classes at high levels. A DK can do that thing where they pull you back into melee (which, btw, works on me while Hand of Freedom is active. Yet another thing that HoF is useless against). Rets have SO few utilities to get people into melee (Burden of Guilt is nice, but it's pretty easy to break and doesn't stop/slow ranged escapes like disengage and teleports), and what was the most recent nerf to the Ret spec?... the loss of 100% chance of crit against demons and undead with Exorcism! I'm kinda not kidding when I said I think the CEO of Blizz is a Lock and stays up at night coming up with ways to make locks unbeatable by Pallys. But it's not just fear being OP. I feel there's so little that's special about our class, that sets Paladins apart as great fighters. Some will say "oh, nothing special? Who else has an invulnerability shield and an instaheal?" Yeah... with 5 and 10 minute CDs. Divine Shield lets us break fear, once in 5 minutes. It's meant to be an emergency life saver, not a trinket ability. And now Warriors can punch through it! It's just very frustrating. Try getting into a BG and getting attacked by 2 people with fear/sleep/polymorph abilities. I might as well just stop and go get a cup of coffee, rather than watch my character run around and/or stand there sleeping over and over while life drain damages away without breaking the ability, or on the off chance damage breaks it, I get to blow my 3 minute CD attack for 1.7 seconds until the next fear comes.
If Blizz isn't going to let Hand of Freedom/Emancipate break fear/sleep (and I honestly think that is THE fair solution), then simply make fear ACTUALLY break on damage, period, just like every other similar CC. And give it a 15 second CD like our sleep. That's all I ask. Make it fair and FUN to play, letting the players actually show their skills against each other. Thanks again everyone for the support! Let's keep it coming. Can't hurt to try... Blizz has a history of nerfing everything eventually... seems like fear should be #1 on the list of next to nerf.

And for heaven's sake, give us some range on Rebuke! Just 10 yards is all I ask (but I'll take 20). I see a cast coming, and I have to run TOWARD the bomb that's about to blow up to avoid getting hurt? Fear interrupts our spellcasting from 30 freaking yards away with no CD! Rebuke has a 15 second CD, and I have to be in your face to even use it. C'mon Blizz, throw us a bone here!
oh please, please, please be trolling

Of all the classes to be so susceptible to Fear, I think Paladins are the silliest. We're supposed to be courageous justice-mongers, right? What's courageous about being helpless for the duration of a Fear? :[
Maybe make a passive for Paladins that makes it twice as easy for damage done to us while we're Feared to break the CC.

agree it doesn't make sense from a lore perspective, but that's not a good enough reason to mess with balance this far down the road
btw i love your transmog, Cadet. very classy
oh please, please, please be trolling
Why? What's so "trolling" about that comment? "Exorcism" by it's very nature is forcibly banishing demons. Taking away the 100% crit just makes it into another "magical power beam" that isn't special at all. And as for my CEO of Blizz comments, it's call sarcasm. But it sure feels like they've had it in for Pallys for the last 6 or 8 months, IMO.
because it's not important at all to balance. at best this is a pet peeve of yours

1. holy was hands down the best healer in the first PvP season of MoP
2. ret sucked during this time, that's true, but was buffed a ton and seems pretty good in arena this season
3. ret continues to suck in rbg's, but most melee aren't wanted for rbg's. the devs don't have it in for us

We USED to have immunity to fear with Judgment of Justice. And if the classes don't have the abilities according to the lore, what's the point in having classes. Let's just play Call of Duty and point and shoot instead. As for messing with balance, Blizz claims they are always looking at balance and adjusting. I just frankly don't see ANY balance whatsoever with this ability. It's straight up OP. If you feel it would be un-balancing to make HoF and Emancipate do something useful, then simply go straight to the source... Nerf Fear with a 15 second CD (like OUR sleep, and every single other CC in the game that has 15, 30, 1 min, and even 2 min CDs). ZERO CD and virtually no cost to cast that doesn't break on damage usually (or EVER on DOTs like life drain) that keeps me constantly out of melee range with no recourse is simply OP. I don't see how it could even continue to remain unchanged and expect PvP to be balanced in any way.
Thanks for your comments and input though. We might not be on the same page on this, Hafleur, but I appreciate you taking the time to respond, but I get the nagging feeling that you are a Lock mainly and you really don't want to see Fear nerfed. Saying that the "last" thing the game needs is more ways to break fear... l just can't imagine really anyone right now of any class who isn't sick of running around feared for half the fight. I'd have to say we (and every class) should have ONE way to break fear/sleep/polymorph more often then once in two minutes. I'm not asking for immunity, just something that makes the Lock actually have to fight with some degree of skill. They already have an arsenal of ways to get to range when they need, massive damage, and self-healing. Like they need to never get hit too? I personally would be ashamed to have it be that my opponent couldn't even put up a fight... what's the point in winning a duel that way?
because it's not important at all to balance. at best this is a pet peeve of yours
Actually it was a comment about balance. We're talking mainly about Locks here, and our lack of defenses against Fear. The one balancing thing we might have was the ability to always hit their minions for double damage with Exorcism, and for no particular reason it was just taken away from a spell that by its very nature SHOULD cause extra harm to demons/undead.
And I can't say that Ret was "buffed a ton". They did get a couple nice bonuses with the last patch. But still, if you can never get into melee range with a melee based character, you will die, every time.
And again, please don't take my disagreement with you negatively. I do appreciate you getting in on the thread. The more we talk about it, the more Blizz has a chance to read the pros and cons and maybe do something. Thanks!

paladins lost a small advantage in what is still an unwinnable duel. so what? for the most part PvP isn't balanced around 1v1 and warlock vs. paladin in a 1v1 is such a small part of whether or not paladin is competitive in PvP
And I can't say that Ret was "buffed a ton". They did get a couple nice bonuses with the last patch. But still, if you can never get into melee range with a melee based character, you will die, every time.
out of curiosity, how long have you been playing WoW, how long have you been PvP'ing, and how long have you been playing this character? i'm not trying to attack you here. i might even be able to help you out (not to sound cocky)
The more we talk about it, the more Blizz has a chance to read the pros and cons and maybe do something. Thanks!
the developers don't usually read the class forums. if you want a chance at them noticing your thread, you should post it on the damage dealing forum or arena forum. but if you do, i warn you the responses from players there will be harsh

Just out of curiosity…what the hell happened to August?
Normally, I track a month by how many accomplishments I was able to pull off within its temporal confines. Not just within the realm of writing, but with pretty much whatever it is I'm doing during that period of my life.
So, earlier today, when I realized that none of my most recent goals were met and only a small handful of my minor tasks were completed, the logical art of my mind told me, "No biggie, it's still early in the month. I've got plenty of time."
But the calendar told me otherwise.
August is almost over? And I only accomplished a small fraction over squat?
How I managed to blow through the entire month with only fragments to show for is for me to interpret in a more private setting.
Which I have already done.
Maybe these tales and woes will make a great story or two someday.
But, during this time of reflection, I thought I saw August in my rear view mirror, shrugging its shoulders and holding its hands out, calling to me, "What happened to you?"
Being that our lives don't have a reverse gear, I'm instead turning my sights back to the road in front of me, while keeping one eye out for all the opportunities and roadside attractions that September has to offer.
