Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)
In all of my interactions with the owner of Lotus Sculpture, I experienced respectful communication, clear organization and overall excellent customer service. Thank you. I love the piece I bought from you.Reviewer:Amy Nosek (Bowen Island, British Columbia, CA)
Kyle with Lotus Sculpture, worked with us to find the best situation for our new swimming pool. We purchased two beautiful Buddha Heads that now stand on our pool columns overlooking the pool. Beautiful!!! We'll continue to shop here for more special Buddha's.Reviewer:David A. Kress (Chandler, AZ, US)
LOVE IT. I can feel the energy of it. VERY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! Namaste, FabienneReviewer:Fabienne Diaz (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US)
This Buddha is going to be a gift and it will make a lovely gift. It arrived on time and well packed. Good job.Reviewer:Angus Vail (Salem, OR, US)
We have been shopping at Lotus Sculpture for a good number of years and we have always been pleased with our purchases. As you perhaps know, buying the statues is the first step and "energizing" them at the temple is another step and the latter is important for "bonding" with the statue and to "take the metal" out of it. Putting the "deity" in the statue is a time-consuming and costly step, depending on the temple one chooses. It could range between $100 - 300. Fortunately the purchase of the statue itself at Lotus Sculpture makes it a great first experience and the next steps are equally moving, organizing the trip, purchases for the real deity, costs to the temple and swamis etc. I wished that some of the statues were more affordable, but then I understand that you offer quality product and that you run a business, not a temple. At the most a payment plan should be offered (pardon me if it is, I am not aware of it) instead of putting the item on a credit card. Personally, I do not like to associate my statues with credit. I see every item that you sell as divine, at least the path to an incredible experience with the "other" world, be it Hindu or Buddhist. Thanks for the great opportunity for shopping at Lotus Sculpture. I received the Yantra and will have it consecrated at the Kali Temple in Burtonsville, MD. We have also bought: Kali blessed in Burtonsville, MD, a.k.a Miss Kitty The Goddess with the mirror (she is now Meenakshi, blessed at the Murugan temple of North America, a.k.a Babe Ganesh, a.k.a Bongo on drums, blessed at the Ganesh temple, Queens Muruga and his peacock,a.k.a. Murray, blessed at Palani Andavar's shrine, Murugan temple of North America. The peacock lamp They have all been blessed and contrary to popular belief, I do not have a special shrine or altar in my house, I place them wherever I desire in the house, bedroom, living room and I do not feel disrespectful towards them. I figure, if they can see me in form and formless, what difference does it make whether they are in my bedroom or in a special part of the house dedicated to them? I do not believe in strict adherence to rituals. I do not possess these statues for religious purposes only. We offer them the food we eat on a daily basis. They also have special names. They make us happy, we love them. The represent beauty, a presence of something divine or more, I do not know. I know that they love us and smile in turn, NOT ALL THE TIME and that is how I know that the deity is here with us. They sometimes show sadness. Basically the relationship with them is an endless labor of love, cooking for them, celebrating birthdays with them, buying fruits for bongo, gardening for them and so forth. The experience is unbelievable.Reviewer:Jenny (Roselle Park, nj, US)
Kyle Tortora provides a great service in making these murthies available, and best of all, he has a deep understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism, and the esoterics of worship. I've recently bought my second murthy from Lotus. Kyle maintains an outstanding inventory of beautiful statues in all materials and sizes and his prices are extremely reasonable. Shipping was super fast! His customer service is among the best I've ever encountered. Thank you Lotus Sculpture!Reviewer:Gayatri Rajan (CANYON, CA, US)
Having gone to India to purchase statues many times, spending days trying to find good craftsmanship and then arranging the import is no more ! The wood sculpture that I bought for my husband for our fifth wedding anniversary was so much better in person than even in the pictures. Thank you Lotus Scuplture ! I will be purchasing more in the future for sure.Reviewer:Gopal (Tampa, Florida, US)

About Nataraja
~ Bengali Hymn~
The significance of the Nataraja sculpture is said to be that Shiva is shown as the source of all movement within the cosmos, represented by the arch of flames. The purpose of the dance is to release men from illusion of the idea of the "self" and of the physical world. The cosmic dance was performed in Chidambaram in South India, called the center of the universe by some Hindus. The gestures of the dance represent Shiva's five activities, creation (symbolized by the drum), protection (by the "fear not" hand gesture), destruction (by the fire), embodiment (by the foot planted on the ground), and release (by the foot held aloft).
The Symbolism Behind the Nataraja Pose:
The Nataraja dances within the universe. The locks of his hair stand out in many strands as he whirls around in his dancing frenzy. His locks are decked with a crescent moon, a skull, and are interspersed with the sacred river Ganges.
Shiva's unkempt hair, a symbol of a rejection of society, shows him to be an ascetic. This contrasts with his role as a grhastha, or householder, with his wife and family.
The fiery ring surrounding Shiva, prahabhamandala, represents the universe ignorance and pain. The outer edge is fire the inner edge the waters of the oceans. Many Nataraja statues have multiple levels of fire and water. The crescent moon in his matted hair keeps Kama, the god of nightly love, alive. Through the waxing and the waning of the moon Shiva creates different seasons and rejuvenates life. The goddess of the Ganges nests in Shiva's dreadlocks. The river Ganges that flows in Nataraja's hair originally flowed in heaven. When the heavenly Ganges was needed on earth, she was unwilling to fall to earth because she realized that her fall from heaven would be too much for the earth to withstand. Shiva as Nataraja agreed to break the violent power of the sacred Ganga's fall by catching her in his tangled hair, breaking the fall with his hair on its way to the Himalayas and Northern India.
Nataraja wears a snake coiled around his upper arms and neck symbolizing the power he has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human souls' transmigration of bodies from one life to another.
In the back right hand Shiva holds an hour glass shaped drum or damaru. The drum represents the rhythmic sound to which Nataraja dances and ceaselessly recreates the universe. The front right hand is in the abhaya-mudra (the "fear not" gesture, made by holding the palm outward with fingers pointing up).
The back left hand carries agni (fire) in a vessel or in his hand. The flames represent the destructive energy with which Nataraja dances at the end of each cosmic age, cleansing sins and removing illusion. The front left hand is across the chest in the gahahasta (elephant trunk) pose, with the wrist limp and the fingers pointed downward toward the uplifted foot.
Shiva's raised left foot, grants eternal bliss to those who approach him. The other foot treads firmly upon the dwarf of ignorance, allowing the birth of knowledge. Nataraja dances above the body of the demon, Apasmara, whom he has killed; in this role he is called Natesa. Apasmara, the dwarf demon, represents the ignorance of teaching that all opposites (for example good and evil) are false.
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.

Undertaking (driving)
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Overtaking. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2011.
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (June 2011)
Undertaking or overtaking on the inside[1][2][3] refers to the practice of overtaking a slower vehicle on a road using the lane that is kerb side of the vehicle being passed; that is to say, a lane to the left of the vehicle in countries where driving is on the left, or a lane to the right of the vehicle in countries where driving is on the right (see Right- and left-hand traffic). The practice of undertaking, therefore, may only usually occur on a motorway or other road where there is more than one lane in the same direction or when the width of the roads makes this possible (although there may be exceptions in the cases of contraflow bus lanes).
Many countries consider undertaking dangerous and therefore designate it a driving offence, however most countries make the distinction between involuntary undertaking (passing centre side vehicles in heavy traffic) as opposed to the deliberate attempt to pass a slower moving vehicle for one's own benefit.
Legal status by country[edit]
- Australia and New Zealand - Undertaking is legal on multi-lane roads, or where a car is indicating to turn right. [2]
- Canada - Varies by province.
- Finland - Undertaking is specifically prohibited, except for inner-city traffic and vehicle waiting to turn left.
- France - Undertaking is specifically prohibited, except for vehicle waiting to turn left or if the vehicles in the lane to the left are queueing and slow moving.
- Germany - Undertaking is specifically prohibited, exceptions exist for inner-city traffic and overtaking trams and vehicles waiting to turn left.
- Hungary - Undertaking is prohibited outside built-up areas. Inside built-up areas, passing on the right is permitted, even in cases when there are no road markings, but the width of the roads makes this possible. Interestingly, the undertaking manoeuvre in built-up areas are referred as "driving in parallel traffic" instead of "passing on the right" as it is used outside built-up areas.
- Netherlands - Undertaking is specifically prohibited, exceptions include vehicles waiting to turn left, traffic congestion and on roundabouts.
- Poland - Undertaking is legal on 4-lane roads in built-up areas, 6-lane roads outside built-up areas and on one-way roads with marked lanes (this definition includes motorways). (article 24 of Law on Road Traffic) However, similar to the UK it is considered a dangerous practice and is discouraged.
- United Kingdom - The Highway Code discourages undertaking on motorways with some exceptions (rule 268): "Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake". Undertaking is permitted in congested conditions when frequent lane changing is not recommended.[4] On other roads, the Code advises drivers "should only overtake on the left if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right" (rule 163).[5] Rule 163 uses advisory wording and "will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted", but may be used in evidence to establishing liability in any court proceedings.[6] On all roads, undertaking is permitted if the vehicles in the lane to the right are queueing and slow moving.[citation needed] Undertaking in an aggressive or reckless manner could be considered Careless Driving or more seriously Dangerous Driving, both of which are legally enforceable offences.[dubious ][citation needed]
- United States - Undertaking is usually allowed if not expressly forbidden by road signs.[citation needed]
Notes and references[edit]

From the billboards you might think thisis another Transformers movie—heaven help us—when in fact, Real Steel is a cross between Rocky and The Champ. It's formulaic and unashamedly manipulative, but it's played with sincerity…and it works.
This project has been in development for years, under Steven Spielberg's watchful eye, and bears only superficial resemblance to the Richard Matheson story that inspired it. (You may remember its first adaptation, as a 1963 episode of The Twilight Zone called "Steel," with Lee Marvin.) The screenplay is creditd to John Gatings, with story credit to Dan Gilroy and Jeremy Leven.
The time is the near-future. Hugh Jackman plays an irresponsible, washed-up prizefighter who ekes out a living as manager for boxing robots. When his ex-wife dies, he's forced to spend a summer looking after his 11-year-old son—a boy he's never really known (played by newcomer Dakota Goyo) who just happens to be a savvy superfan of robot boxers. It's the kid who has faith in a "junk pile" Jackman is ready to write off. With some t.l.c. and Jackman's boxing experience, the discarded machine takes them to the Big Time, and helps cement the damaged relationship between father and son.
Under Shawn Levy's direction, the story never misses a beat, with fully-committed performances by Jackman, Evangeline Lilly (as the woman who's always believed in him), and fresh-faced young Goyo, who bears a strong resemblance to Ricky Schroder and has the same ability to win you over at emotional moments, even if you're trying to resist.
Technically, the film is one of those modern marvels in which it's impossible to tell where reality ends and CGI takes over. (In fact, the key robot characters were actually constructed as animatronic "puppets" standing eight feet tall. It's only when they walk or box that they're not real.) But this movie lives or dies with the human element, and if you're a sucker for a story involving an underdog—and a father's redemption in the eyes of his son—you'll willingly surrender to Real Steel. If you're looking for something gritty or only interested in high-tech combat between machines, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Hey, Norm---I get the impression you're NOT the guy that everybody greets with "NORM!" when you enter a drinking establishment. If your sarcastic brainstorm that you've shared with us (solicited or not) is such a can't-miss concept, let's see you develop it into something. Who knows? With a little help, you could become the next Edward D. Wood, Jr.!
Norm | October 7, 2011 11:00 AM
Well,, since Leonard mentioned the "Twilight Zone" reference, and the fact that there is nothing new in this film that would merit a viewing, here is an idea for Speilberg. A killer robot who pounds on film directors, and then the owner is caught in the angst of dismantling it or making a feature film..

The Dallas Cowboy have played in four division championship games in recent memory. Keep in mind these were all played in week 17. First in 2008, 2009 and than followed by 2011 and 2012. Let us take a look back.
In 2008 the Dallas Cowboys played an away game in Philadelphia for a playoff berth and division championship. The Cowboys would lose, 44-6. In 2009 the Cowboys would have their chance at revenge on the Eagles hosting them in week 17 for the division championship and home field against the other the following week in the Wild Card round. The Cowboys would prevail 24-0 and win the next week.
That so far makes the Cowboys 1-1 in division championship games. Not too bad.
In 2011, the Cowboys would be matched up with New York Giants in the Meadowlands. Once again for the division and the playoffs. But the Cowboys would lose in a less than noble effort 31-14.
In 2012, the Cowboys were on the road against the Washington Redskins once again, week 17, division championship game. The Cowboys lose 28-18.
That makes the Cowboys record 1-3 in these division championship games. The only win coming at home. I find it a bit ridiculous as well that we seem to always be on the road in week 17. Except this year, we are home against the Eagles. Wait! The Eagles? We got this.
No but seriously if the Dallas Cowboys want to make this as painless as possible just play solid through out the entire year. Don't start strong and end weak. Don't win three games than drop two. Don't relax. Don't be satisfied with just good enough. Hold yourself accountable. Be a team. Take care of your body. Study every bit of film. Do not let the Redskins, The Giants or the Eagles talk smack about you to the media and let them get away with it. Count on the other teams to trip up and make a mistake. Because the teams in this division as a whole are too inconsistent. Don't be that team. Because I know I speak for every single Dallas Cowboys fan when I say we will not accept a loss again. We have lost to every team in this division in a division clinching game, Do you notice we are the team always playing in it? We are always consistent. We just have to get over the hump. And you can get over the hump by just playing good through out. And not face a division clinching game. Lets clinch the division in week 14. That's the goal.

Albany -- During the summer months more people enjoy the outdoors, but safety officials want to remind you to be aware of those late afternoon thunderstorms.
Each year an average of 67 Americans are killed by lightning. During Lightning Safety Awareness Week, officials want you to learn how to not become a victim.
Warm summer days are most likely to develop thunderstorms, and one of nature's most deadly events, lightning. Deputy Director of Dougherty County Emergency Management Jim Vaught said "If you can hear thunder, that means you are in range to be struck by lightning."
This is Lightning Safety Awareness Week, and you are reminded that lightning is deadly. Five Georgians were killed by lightning in 2004, and at least 20 more were injured. Vaught said "If they hear thunder, it's time to make preparations to get out and undercover so that you won't be struck."
Lightning can strike as far as 10 miles away from the rain area in a thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance. If you are outdoors, especially if boating or golfing, seek shelter to minimize the risk of being struck. Vaught said "stay away from open fields and away from metal objects."
Use the 30-30 rule. When you see lightning, count the time until you hear thunder. If it is less than thirty seconds, the thunderstorm is within six miles and dangerous. Wait at least thirty minutes until after the last clap of thunder before leaving shelter. Vaught said "If it's a cloudy day and you can't see the lightning, just assume since you are hearing it, it's within six miles and you should make arrangements to get out and undercover."
If you are outdoors when a thunderstorm threatens, get to a safe place. If indoors, stay away from windows or doors. Avoid phones, computers, or other electrical devices while lightning is present.
If a person is struck, call 9-1-1 and give the victim C.P.R. Cardiac arrest, burns, and nerve damage are common among lightning victims.
It's better to be safe than sorry, and use common sense to avoid lightning danger.
Since 1978, at least 47 people have died in Georgia from lightning, with hundreds more injured, more than tornadoes or hurricanes.
So far in 2005, there have been no lightning fatalities in the Peach State.

A Man's Shed
I don't know many women that need a shed, or at least, I haven't met many if any to be honest, but mention the word "shed" to any of my male friends, and it's instant high fives and fuck yeah's and I need one. It's just how it is. This "shed" here in Berkeley, CA ( where else ) kind of takes the pot & vinyl hideout to another level though.

Are you interested in studying a forensic psychology online program or in taking criminology and justice studies?
Thes programs are increasingly popular amongst students. But what is forensic psychology? Forensic psychology is the application of psychology in law and law enforcement. For example, it is used in treating mentally ill offenders, providing expert testimony in court, and also in analyzing a criminal's mind and intent. So to prepare for this work students need to take criminal justice and civil legal courses as well as psychology courses.
This page will help you to find out more about university forensic psychology and to locate suitable schools. Many working students prefer to take their degree online rather than on-campus, so that they can have flexibility and control over their study program. But if you are interested in on campus degrees, check the on campus programs page. If you are interested in other aspects of Criminal Justice, check out the pages for Forensic Science, Forensic Accounting, and Law Enforcement.
The following is a list of selected online programs with various combinations of criminal justice, forensic psychology and criminology:
In a forensic psychology program, you are trained to provide psychological services within the criminal justice and civil legal systems, e.g., to evaluate the psychological fitness of individuals who must stand trial. You must state and defend your psychological evaluations in court, so you need to be quick-witted and have good communication skills, as well as having the required psychological and legal knowledge. Courses covered would include: epidemiology of mental/behavioral disorders; risk factors for violence and criminality; profiling and patterning; psychological testing, prediction and intervention measurement; assessment; criminal and civil law and procedures; forensic treatment and intervention skills; interpersonal skills, communication skills, and, professional standards and ethics.
You may find it useful to consider the programs available in the following areas:
Forensic psychology research work, consultation and clinical practice has grown considerably over recent years and this growth is expected to continue over the next ten years. There are now various sub-fields that you can work in, including: clinical-forensic psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, criminal investigative psychology.
Although a bachelors degree is a good preparation, you really need a masters or a PhD to pursue a career in forensic psychology. And graduates with a forensic psychology PhD have more career opportunities than those with only a forensic psychology masters degree.
Salaries are good - in the US, forensic psychologists average around US$70,000 (PayScales.com).

Reluctance to Void Elections - Some Memorable Cases
The closeness and counting irregularities in the ongoing Minnesota Senate contest have prompted discussion of just voiding the result and calling a new election. Regardless of whether granting such a remedy is good policy, it is unlikely to happen under Minnesota law, just as it would be unlikely to happen in any state. In fact, despite the fact that I've read hundreds of election contest lawsuits, I've read only a handful that granted any kind of meaningful remedy, and even fewer that voided an entire election. Here are good examples of cases that appeared to have some merit but ultimately failed.
Election for Ohio Attorney General (1990). In this case, the Supreme Court of Ohio denied an election contest by Paul Pfeiffer claiming that he was the true winner of the 1990 election for AG. Pfeiffer lost the initial count by 1,234 votes but proved to the Ohio Supreme Court that the candidates' names on 94,869 ballots had not been rotated properly. In re Election of Nov. 6, 1990 for Office of Atty. Gen. of Ohio, 569 N.E.2d 447 (Ohio, 1991). The court acknowledged "that improper ballot rotation could have an effect," but said that "the extent of this effect depends on the record developed in each case." Id. at 454. After describing expert testimony from both sides regarding the effect of the improper ballot rotation, the court concluded that it affected vote totals somewhere between zero and ten percent, but "that the correct percentage would be closer to zero than ten percent." Id. at 455. Using this percentage, the court determined that the contestant failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the improper ballot rotation made the true result of the election uncertain. Id. at 457. Paul Pfeiffer now sits on the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Election for Illinois Governor (1982). The initial count showed incumbent Jim Thompson ahead of Adlai Stevenson by 5,074 votes out of about 3.6 million cast statewide. In re Contest for Governor, 444 N.E.2d 170, 172 (Ill., 1983). Stevenson obtained a partial "discovery recount" in precincts in 70 counties to generate evidence for an election contest. Id. at 179. Based on that discovery recount, Stevenson filed an election contest alleging that some improper duplicate ballots were counted, that ballots were improperly counted despite the fact that they were not initialed or initialed only partially by election judges, that some were counted despite having identifying marks upon them, and that some were counted despite being cast by ineligible voters. Id. at 181. Stevenson alleged that if these errors were corrected, it would have put him ahead by 4,664 votes. Id. at 180. Stevenson hoped to use the discovery provisions of the election contest laws to find still more votes in his favor.
However, the Illinois Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit, and did so in a curious way. Instead of following the normal standard that decides a motion to dismiss, the court did not assume, for purposes of the motion, that the facts stated in the complaint were true. Instead, the court went "behind the pleadings" to look at the conduct of the original partial recount and then dismissed the case because it said that Adlai Stevenson had no reasonable cause to complain about the conduct of the counting and recounting activities. A grand jury later determined that Adlai Stevenson had unwittingly benefited from some 100,000 illegal ballots that had been cast in Chicago in the 1982 gubernatorial election. U.S. to Probe Primary Vote Fraud, Chicago Tribune, March 11, 1987. The Illinois legislature later changed election contest procedures based on the court's ruling.
Election for Washington governor (2004). Two initial recounts showed that Rossi (R) was ahead but the third and final recount showed Gregoire (D) up by 129 votes out of 2.9 million cast. The case ended up in the Chelan County Superior Court where, despite having concluded that 1,678 illegal ballots were counted in the election, the court would not grant a remedy for Rossi's allegation that "it was impossible to determine which gubernatorial candidate received the greatest number of legitimate votes" (see here). The court refused to hear evidence concerning the political predilections of the voters who had cast illegal ballots.
Will the Franken/Coleman litigation join this dustbin of "close but no cigar"cases? Well, in general a plaintiff who wants to win an election contest has to have very credible evidence of who should have won. The defendant, on the other hand, in most states (including Minnesota) can usually prevail if the evidence is murky and the true result is unclear. Furthermore, in very very close statewide elections like Franken/Coleman, the result is always going to be "murky" in some way due to the close margin and the inability to eliminate small human errors. That puts the defendant in a pretty good position.

World of Warcraft PTR Patch 4.3.2 Notes
The first World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch of the year is in development and now available for testing on the Public Test Realms. This minor patch includes several updates that we were unable to apply via hotfixes, including the recently announced cross-realm raids, assorted class balance fixes, and more. If you'd like to help us test out this patch and provide feedback, you can start by copying your character over to a test realm. Once you've had a chance to try things out, be sure to visit our Public Test Realm forum to discuss the patch.
Classes: General
Vengeance is no longer triggered by receiving damage from other players.
- The Tier 13 Balance Druid 4-piece bonus now also increases the damage of Starsurge by 10%, in addition to its current effect.
- Aspect of the Hawk now grants roughly 35% more attack power.
- Deterrence now also reduces damage taken by 30% while active.
- Black Arrow now ticks every 2 seconds for 20 seconds, as opposed to every 3 seconds for 15 seconds. The total damage dealt by the ability is unchanged.
- Land Load no longer benefits Arcane Shot, nor is it consumed by Arcane Shot.
- Fireball damage has been reduced by roughly 6%.
- Pyroblast damage has been reduced by roughly 6%.
- Holy Radiance now costs 40% of base mana, up from 35%.
- Mass Dispel should again prefer dispelling targets that have magic effects that can be dispelled.
Dungeons & Raids
- You can now form same-faction raids with Real ID friends, allowing you to enter Raid Finder in groups larger than 5, run older normal or heroic raids, or participate in Battlegrounds. You will not yet be able to run normal or heroic Dragon Soul with cross-realm raids of Real ID friends.
- Several typo fixes and clarified descriptions have been added to the Dungeon Journal entries for Dragon Soul.
- Players can no longer win multiple copies of the same item on a single Raid Finder boss kill. For example, a player who chooses Need on two set piece tokens or two weapons and wins the first, will not be eligible for the second on that particular boss.
Demon Hunter's Aspect
CRITICAL UPDATE: These items are OFFICIALY confirmed as part of World of Warcraft TCG Items!
New item added in Patch 4.3.2.
Demon Hunter's Aspect
Binds when picked up
Use: Resemble a demon hunter for 5 min. (30 Min Cooldown)
Top 5 World of Warcraft Talents and Abilities
In World of Warcraft your abilities and talents help to define your class. Some are lackluster and unimpressive, while others get the job done, but sometimes Blizzard really hit's the mark and we find some WoW talents and abilities that are beyond awesome. So awesome that watching them in action and using them in battle truly never gets old. Favorite WoW talents and abilities will likely vary greatly from player to player, so check out my top 5 in the list below and see if they match up with some of your personal favorites.
Shadowy Apparition
Is Shadow Form ok? NO! Those words from the well known MC Raiders video goes to show that in the not so distant past Shadow Priests were unheard of on the raiding scene. However, now they are in high demand and can produce some of the best ranged DPS out there. Helping along the way with that amazing DPS is some very cool abilities, one of my personal favorites being Shadowy Apparition. Shadowy Apparition procs from Shadow Word: Pain damage and summons one (or more depending on the points the Priest has in the talent) shadow version of the Priest which moves slowly towards a target which is afflicted with Shadow Word: Pain, once it connects with the target this shadow deals a burst of Shadow damage. Perhaps not as showy as some of the other WoW talents out there, but there is something both intimidating and otherworldly about an army of Shadow Priests descending upon a boss or enemy player. Next time you have the pleasure of having a Shadow Priest in your raid take a few seconds to check out this WoW talent in action and witness firsthand this epic WoW ability in action.
While Shaman are probably my least favorite class to play next to the Warrior (sorry Warriors), they still have some amazing talents. While it may seem somewhat cliché and perhaps a little uninteresting to some, my favorite WoW Shaman talent is and has always been Bloodlust or Heroism if you happen to play on the side of the Alliance. When used this WoW ability increases melee, ranged, and spell casting speed by 30% for all party and raid members for 40 seconds. Combine this with the lore behind this spell, the fact that when under its effects every single player appears to grow in stature and the awesome noise that goes along with it, and you have yourself one badass WoW talent to say the least. I feel Bloodlust/Heroism without a doubt deserve this spot on the list.
Perhaps I just have a fascination for all beings that will help me defeat my foes (see Shadowy Apparition above) but in my eyes there is virtually nothing cooler than a very large red demon with ginormous wings that will attack your foes, as long as you have the appropriate spells upon said enemy that is. Such is the Warlock WoW talent Summon Doomguard. When used this talent summons a Doomguard to fight beside the Warlock for up to 45 seconds and will attack targets that are afflicted by the Warlocks Bane of Doom or Bane of Agony. That's right. Giant demon bent on destroying your foes, what more could you ask for? The only thing that could make this WoW ability even more amazing than it already is a come back of the days when a random party member would be slaughtered whilst summoning this fearsome demon.
Moonkin Form
Giant. DPSing. Dancing. Chicken. Need I really say more? Moonkin form is probably the best Druid WoW talent out there. This WoW abilitiy allows the Druid to turn into a Moonkin, increasing Arcane and Nature spell damage and reducing damage taken as well as increasing spell haste of all party and raid members. So pretty much, not only do you turn into a giant doom chicken, but you can also push out some mega DPS, increase the DPS of your party members AND participate in one of the best dances World of Warcraft has ever seen almost simultaneously making this one of the best talents in the game. If you cannot see the beauty of the Moonkin, then I may just have to call your sanity into question.
Fan of Knives
If you've never watched a Rogue use Fan of Knives on a group of unsuspecting mobs then you are missing out. When cast this WoW ability allows the Rogue to whirl around and release a spray of deadly throwing knives at all targets within 8 yards causing 80% of weapon damage. While there are many AoE abilities in game, this is by far my personal favorite because lets face it…knives are way cool. Not sure this talent belongs here? Then remember, this WoW ability is the sole reason we now can say "FoKing" Rogues (or other fun variations) without causing offense.
Hammer of Justice
The Paladin's Hammer of Justice is iconic, almost like the mole was to Marilyn, a Paladin wouldn't be a Paladin without Hammer of Justice. When using the Hammer of Justice spell players will find that a giant hammer of DOOM appears out of the sky and smashes down on an unsuspecting player target leaving them stunned and unable to do anything for up to 6 seconds. Made famous by the use of bubble hearth after using this spell, this WoW ability is literally the stuff legends are made of and deserves some recognition. This WoW ability is still every PvPer's worst nightmare and still is as awesome today as it was when we first experienced it all those years ago.
Vial of Shadows Not Scaling With RAP
Blizzard confirming that Vial of Shadows is in fact bugged at the moment, by not scaling with RangedAttackPower.
Just want to confirm: Vial of Shadows working only with melee attack power and not ranged attack power is indeed a bug.
Barring unforeseen complications, this will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix.
Thank you for the feedback!
Patch 4.3.2 on Public Test Realm
A new Patch 4.3.2 is being deployed on test realms as we speak, this is a "minor bug fix patch." according to the official notes but we do not have more details for the moment.
The launcher now optimizes your game folder and tries to improve game performance/reduce the size of the install on your hard drive.
64 Bit Game Client
The 64 bit client might appear in this patch, the current test build is tagged as "test x86", which implies that a 64 bit version is available somewhere.
Client Strings Changes
- ERR_PARENTAL_CONTROLS_DISCONNECT_WARNING = "You will be disconnected due to parental controls in %d |4minute:minutes;.";
- ERR_PARENTAL_CONTROLS_DISCONNECT_WARNING_SOON = "You will be disconnected due to parental controls in less than 1 minute.";
- TIME_PLAYED_ALERT = "You have been playing for %s. Excessive gameplay can cause inconvenience in your daily life.";
Achievements Changes
- Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider now properly shows the Reins of the Twilight Harbinger as a reward.
- Ruthless Gladiator's Twilight Drake Obtain the Ruthless Gladiator's Twilight Drake from Arena Season 10 of Cataclysm.
Spell Changes
- Feldrake Summons and dismisses a rideable feldrake. This is a flying mount. 1.5 sec cast
- Eye of the Legion Right Click to summon and dismiss an Eye of the Legion. Instant
- Item - Druid T13 Balance 4P Bonus (Starsurge) now also increases Starsurge damage by 10%
- Lock and Load no longer affects Arcane Shots.
- Bombardment now lasts 5 secs instead of affecting your next multi shot only.
- Item - Paladin T13 Holy 4P Bonus (Holy Radiance) now increases healing done by Holy Radiance by 5%, down from 20%.

Brief Fire Mage Guide Patch 4.3
It is with great pride that I make this post in hopes of starting a discussion about Fire mages and the upcoming patch. I have recently obtained my legendary staff and had a chance to test out fire on the PTR. I won't be the first to say that fire's damage in 4.3 is not only substantial, but paired with it's aoe capabilities it's outstanding. There are several fights that involve aoe dps well suited for fire mages and soon to become my favorite fights.
Changes to Fire Mages in Patch 4.3:
- Pyroblast's initial damage has been increased by approximately 26%, and its damage over time has been increased by approximately 100%.
- Fireball damage has been increased by approximately 17%.
- Living Bomb damage over time has been increased by approximately 10%, and explosion damage has been increased by approximately 120%.
- Combustion's damage over time can now hit critically.
- Mages who apply both Glyph of the Monkey and Glyph of the Penguin at the same time will cause the polymorphed target to be randomly transformed into one of the two forms.
As you can see Fire mages were fairly far behind to need such a large buff. According to SimulationCraft Fire Mage dps will be higher than Arcane in single target and AoE with 4.2 gear. I thought I would begin this discussion by recaping how to gear a fire mage and answering some frequently asked questions I get about fire mages and providing some basic information.
Elitist Jerks has mentioned that they are currently in the process of updating the Fire Mage compendium for 4.3, but much of the information on there is still relevant, so if you are new to fire mages I suggest checking that out first.
Cookie Cutter Fire Mage spec:
Fireball > Flame Orb > Living Bomb > Mirror Image > Fireball > Scorch
Please note that using Flame Orb and Mirror Image are not recommended while attempting to apply Combustion. Using these disrupts the flow of ignite and can result in missed opportunities and Combustion's use being delayed.
Stat Weights
Intellect > Hit to cap > Haste to 2005 > Crit > Mastery > Haste
Note: If you have t13 4 set the new soft haste cap becomes 1505.
Glyph of Fireball
Glyph of Molten Armor
Glyph of Pyroblast
None provide a dps increase. They are all purely situational.
Glyph of Evocation (Nice additional heal when using Evocation)
Glyph of Blink (When you need to get somewhere faster)
Minor Glyphs:
Glyph of Mirror Image (It's the only one that does anything to help dps as a minor glyph so it's worth having)
Choose anything else for the other two. I like a mana cost reduction on Arcane Brilliance for in-combat buffs and glyph of Slow fall so I don't have to carry around feathers.
The secret to Combustion is a large Ignite. I generally won't take an ignite under 20k, but that number may differ depending on your gear. So far, in 4.3, the best Ignite I have been able to reach without any fight mechanics modifying it was 45k. I have noticed that at times I am able to get ignite to "stack" on top of itself.
I have found that the addon MyBigIgnite is the best for tracking ignite and is not only accurate, but fast. The second a spell hits the boss it is updated with how much the spell hit for. This addon is available on Curse if interested.
Combustion thrives off of large ignites to make sure you have an addon to help with this.
Combustion Ticks:
+1 tick = 5% haste needed
+2 ticks = 15% haste needed
+3 ticks = 25% haste needed
+4 ticks = 35% haste needed
Living Bomb, Pyroblast and FrostFire Bolt all have the same haste tick values.
+1 Tick = 12.5%
+2 Tick = 37.5%
+3 Tick = 62.5%
+4 Tick = 87.5%
Here is a chart for haste values needed with buffs. The chart is from Nemex, so thanks to him for creating it.
Flame Orb and Ignite are not affected by haste.
Keep in mind these are default values and obtaining these requires different amounts of haste depending on what haste buffs you have available (Netherwind Presence, Goblin Haste, T11 Set bonus, Blood Lust, Raid Haste Buff). If your going to calculate the haste values yourself just remember that haste is multiplicative so multiply, don't add.
I may add more to this list a little later, but for now I think this is a good start. Feel free to add on anything else that I missed (and I know there is a lot) or ask a question.
Alt Modifiers:
#showtooltip Living Bomb
/cast [modifier:alt, target=focus] Living Bomb/cast [nomodifier:shift] Living Bomb
#showtooltip Fireball
/cast [modifier:alt, target=focus] Fireball/cast [nomodifier:shift] Fireball
Holding alt and the button assigned for the spell will cause it hit your current focus target. If alt is not held down it will hit your current target. Note that holding alt does not change your current target, it only causes the spell to hit your focus.
Stop Casting
#showtooltip Combustion
/cast Combustion
This really is a must have macro for fire mages. Combustion is not on the GCD and can be quickly cast at any moment a large Ignite appears!
#showtooltip Spellsteal
/cast Spellsteal
#showtooltip Ice Block
/cancelaura Ice Block
/cast Ice Block
This macro will stop what your casting and cast Ice Block. When you click it again it will cancel Ice Block.
#showtooltip Counterspell
/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Counterspell; Counterspell
This is a macro to stop casting and Counterspell your mouseover if your mouse is over a target.If your mouse is not hovering over a target it will interrupt your current target.
This last one isn't specific to just mages. It's good for any class.

Arcane Mage Monitor 0.7-Beta Addon
Arcane Mage Monitor 0.7-Beta Addon
Arcane Mage Monitor can be thought of as a "Battle Prep" addon for Arcane Mages. This addon will monitor general readiness for battle by assessing the state of your Mana Gem inventory, Food inventory, Mage Armor, Archane Brilliance and Focus Magic. This addon does not track cooldowns or any other combat related metric. Arcane Mage Monitor has three different types of monitoring systems to suit a variety of playstyles. Each type is described below:
Aggressive Visual Monitors
You can use this style of monitoring to display a visual (in your face) type "Action List". When attention is needed, a dialog will appear asking you to correct some deficiency. You can choose to monitor Mana Gems, Food, Arcane Brilliance, Mage Armor and Focus Magic using this method. For each item you choose to monitor, a corresponding button will appear in the dialog's "Action List". Items that are monitored, but do not need attention will be disabled ("grayed out"). Items that require attention will appear in full color. Clicking them will perform the action required to correct the deficiency (i.e. cast Mage Armor). If an item requiring attention is dismissed without correction, the dialog will not show again for that item until the next time it is deficient (note that it may appear for a different item).
Aggressive Audio Monitors
You can use this style of monitoring to play an audio que designed to remind you of items that need attention. As with the visual monitor, you can choose to monitor Mana Gems, Food, Arcane Brilliance, Mage Armor and Focus Magic. If multiple items are in need of immediate attention the audio monitors will play the appropriate sounds one at a time in a continuous loop. When the condition is satisifed (i.e. more Mana Gems are conjured), the sound will stop playing.). You can temporarily dismiss an audio reminder by "Shift-clicking" the corresponding item in the Monitor Bar.
Passive Visual Monitors
You can use this style of monitor to show a small inconspicuous "Monitor Bar" that provides feedback on the state of your Mana Gems, Food, Arcane Brilliance, Mage Armor and Focus Magic. The Monitor Bar consists of seven icon "elements". The center three are representative of your Mana Gem inventory and the periphery icons are representative of Mage Armpr, Arcane Brilliance, Focus magic and Food (left to right). When a monitor is triggered, the corresponding icon(s) will pulse slowly to indicate that it is in need of attention. Clicking on the icon will cast the expected spell in order to correct the deficiency. Note that these buttons will not work unless the monitor bar is locked in place.
The following is a list of triggers shared by all monitors. When these conditions are satisifed, the item is considered to be in need of attention (monitor dependent):
- Mana Gems: When the mana Gem inventory falls to the user defined threshold (0, 1 or 2)
- Mage Armor: When Mage Armor is not present on the player
- Food: When your conjured food inventory is depleted
- Arcane Brilliance: When Arcane Brilliance is not found on all (mana using) players in range. While in an "instance", Arcane Brilliance will not trigger if the party or raid is not full (it assumes you are waiting for another player). While not in an instance, Arcane Brilliance will trigger regardless of group size.
- Focus Magic: When Focus Magic is not found on any player in range. While in an "instance", Focus Magic will not trigger if the party or raid is not full (it assumes you are waiting for another player). While not in an instance, Focus Magic will trigger regardless of group size.
CauterizeCooldown 1.1 Addon
CauterizeCooldown 1.1 Mage Addon
A simple addon showing Cauterize cooldown.
You can change the scale, alpha and Frame level. Also enabled by default a timer like OmniCC/CooldownCount. You can choose to autohide the addon when your cauterize is off cooldown. It will autohide too for classes other than mage.

text: I know I'm about a week late on the Hall of Fame conversation, but my question has nothing to do with the guys that got elected in. My question has to do with who was actually on the ballot. Is there any criteria for being put on the HOF ballot, and who decides who should be on it in the first place? I was surfing over at baseball-reference.com and they have the whole ballot posted on their homepage. Guys like Ron Gant, Jay Bell, Greg Vaughn, and Dan Plesac were all very good Major League players, but worthy of HOF consideration? All of them were on the ballot (albeit none of them received the required 5% of the vote to remain on next year's ballot, or any votes for that matter), but how did they get on there? How does a guy like Jay Bell get on the ballot despite a career BA of .265, 195 career home runs, and never finishing higher than 12th in the MVP voting?

Guggenheim Responds to Abu Dhabi Protestors
The Guggenheim has released a brief statement in response to the protest involving banners and bugles that broke out at its Fifth Avenue branch last Saturday.

According to Gulf representatives, the construction is being undertaken by indentured South Asian laborers who are exploited in numerous ways. Read More

The FBI has been on a manhunt for three gunmen since an armed robbery in North Texas on Thursday.
Now one of the suspects is in the Lubbock County Jail. The most recent robbery happened Thursday at the American First National Bank in Richardson the FBI believes 31 year-old Guadalupe Fajardo is a member of the "take over bandits." The gang is suspected in dozens of bank holdups since 2002, including Thursday's robbery.
According to Slaton Police, Fajardo turned himself in around noon Saturday. He told police there was a misunderstanding and wanted to clear it up. He was then taken into custody. Fajardo is at the Lubbock county jail on 2 counts of criminal attempted capital murder and aggravated robbery, all from Richardson County. He is being held on a $2,150,000 dollar bond.
The FBI was in Slaton Sunday as part of the investigation. Fajardo is expected to be extradited some time this week. Law enforcement continues searing for other suspects believed to have been apart of Thursday's robbery.

NARRAGANSETT – The town council voted to deny Bonnet Shores Beach Club's application to lift its Friday night entertainment restriction.
The beach club applied to the council to amend its liquor license by amending the restriction on entertainment that is allowed.
Presently, the club is only permitted to have outdoor entertainment on Saturday until midnight and on Sunday until 9 p.m.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - Last Wednesday, a subject unknown to police, broke into the now defunct Campus Theater at 17 Columbia St. in Wakefield and stole four ounces of medical marijuana waste that was on the premises, along with a 65-inch television, an Xbox 360, a safe consisting of private patient medical records and approximately $200 in U.S. Coins.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - Officer Evan Johnson of the South Kingstown Police Department received a 3rd Class Commendation from the chief for his part in saving a man from a suicide attempt in Clock Tower Plaza.
According to the commendation written by Chief Vincent Vespia, Johnson was on routine patrol of Kingstown Road when he observed a vehicle backed into a parking space in the empty lot. Upon approach of the vehicle, Johnson came across an intoxicated male driver who could not explain how he got there or what state he was in.
NARRAGANSETT – The town council denied the South County Garden Club's offer to provide, at no cost to the town, all trees, shrubs and an irrigation system for Gazebo Park.
The council voted 2-2 Monday, with Councilors Glenna Hagopian and Matthew Mannix opposed, meaning that the motion to approve the offer failed.
Council President James Callaghan was absent.
The original Arborvitae trees in Gazebo Park were planted in 1993, according to Parks and Recreation Director Steve Wright.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - At the Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) meeting on Friday night, several speakers discussed local options that could be employed to battle coastal erosion and climate change.
More than 50 people were in attendance at the meeting, including South Kingstown Director of Planning Vincent Murray, Charlestown Town Council President Thomas Gentz, Ivy Misna from the EPA, James Freedman and Laura Dwyer of the CRMC and Little Compton Town Councilor Gary Mataronas.
NARRAGANSETT – Firefighters from the Narragansett Fire Department, Union Fire District and the North Kingstown Fire Department responded to a three-alarm fire off South Ferry Road Saturday afternoon.
Narragansett Fire Chief Scott Partington said officials were called to 80 Dean Knauss Drive shortly after noon. He said a passerby called the fire department to report smoke coming out of the roof of the building and the alarm sounding.
COVENTRY—Out of 11 students from the Regional Career and Technical Center at Coventry High School to secure a medal in the SkillsUSA state championship, three took home gold and will be traveling to the national competition in June.
This national organization provides educational experiences to technical high school and colleges students alike.
It looks to train them in leadership, teamwork, citizenship and character development.
STATE HOUSE – The term "social media" seems to stand in direct contradiction to any concept of privacy, but as concerns grow about federal government intrusion into personal information, more state legislatures are acting to protect the privacy of their residents' digital information.
With unanimous House passage Wednesday of 2014-H 7124A, Rhode Island stands poised to join the growing list of states taking action to protect the Fourth Amendment rights of social media account holders.
WASHINGTON – In a 5-4 ruling Wednesday, the Supreme Court eliminated limits on how much money donors can give in total in one election season.
While the decision overturned the restriction that an individual donor could give up to $123,200 per election cycle in total to all candidates or committees, it left the current $5,200 limit on how much an individual can give to any single candidate during a two-year election cycle.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - The Rhode Island Coastal Resource Management Council recently awarded funding to nine habitat restoration projects in the state, including $50,000 to a project to construct a fish ladder from Factory Brook to Factory Pond, a currently impeded spawning and rearing habitat for river herring.

Many thanks for the PDF link!
|Chuan Lim
Something was bugging me about the tone of the PDF after reading through it.
I think for me at least it comes down to the fact I do not see the best qualities of my real social relationships being reflected in Raph's ideals for "social mechanics". It's kind of what that Derrida quote was actually hinting at -- as convoluted and opaque as it seems! Relevance to self: on an practical, emotional, meaningful level is of more import than the mere shape of things.
Sure there's a kind of humanity at play in MMO game design but it's a total straw man.
Without consequence or connection to what we might learn or take into our own lives, away from the screen. Jobs and roles in both gaming / real life operate like this too. They can become an abstract layer for fulfilment and achievement, though at the cost of your own time and concerns. Of course this begs the question re: purpose of games / purpose of life as well.
Rousseau is interesting:
"Rousseau claimed that the state of nature was a primitive condition without law or morality, which human beings left for the benefits and necessity of cooperation. As society developed, division of labor and private property required the human race to adopt institutions of law. In the degenerate phase of society, man is prone to be in frequent competition with his fellow men while also becoming increasingly dependent on them. This double pressure threatens both his survival and his freedom. According to Rousseau, by joining together into civil society through the social contract and abandoning their claims of natural right, individuals can both preserve themselves and remain free. This is because submission to the authority of the general will of the people as a whole guarantees individuals against being subordinated to the wills of others and also ensures that they obey themselves because they are, collectively, the authors of the law."
But then as "authors of the law";
do game designers have people's best interests at heart?
"The first man who had fenced in a piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1754
Ps. I liked you better when you were talking about aesthetics ..!

|Patric Mondou
I'd like to point out that all the mechanics beyond 'Massive Groups' that Koster identified as 'uncharted territory' are in fact very present in older social games: Utopia, Dominion, Archmage. These were all text-based massively multiplayer social games from the late 90's (way before Facebook :)
They used many of the most peculiar mechanics in Koster's lecture: Guilds, Contracts, Elections, Reputation/Fame, etc.
They're worth studying if you're serious about making Social games ;)
And thanks for the PDF, it's a good read! The definition on slide 180 is the best definition of 'game' I've read yet.

Long-time Chiefs fan here, but new to this page.
Without getting into a sordid recounting of my experiences on other fan pages, let's just say that I've come here hoping to find a venue for Chiefs talk with genuine fans which does not include a "certain cancerous entity", who lyingly calls himself a fan - but in reality is anything but - and who has defecated all over other sites I used to frequent.
My question, then, is whether he (in any of his multiple personalities) ever shows his face here. I won't name him (and, in fact, don't need to, since if he does post here, you'll all know exactly who I'm referring to, based on what I've already said).
The long and short of it is simply this: There is no room for both he and I on the same site (or to be more blunt, I have no tolerance for his BS, and so won't stay if he is present).

'Tis the season for holiday shopping, and many of you decided to avoid large crowds at the store this year and shop online instead. Cyber Monday is the busiest online shopping day of the year. There are deals everywhere.
"You should never trust them," Internet security expert Jason Ding said.
Ding warns consumers not to click on links promising a discount. Instead, he says you should always go straight to a retailer's website to make a purchase.
"Make sure the website you're going to is the website you intended to go to," Ding said.
You can do that by making sure the web address begins with 'HTTPS.' The 'S' stands for secure and there should always be a lock icon next to the URL. If you make a purchase from a website without this, Ding said, "Somebody could steal your information."
Ding also said you should pay with a credit card instead of debit in case you have to dispute a charge.
Finally, if a website asks you to create an account with a password, never use the same password you use for other accounts. Otherwise hackers can steal your money, bank account information or credit card.
