I felt it was about time I updated about the little 10 man raid we have going on Sunday evenings. I have missed the last few due to real life (weekends are the absolute worst for us to do anything!) and have been leaving them in the highly capable hands of Exray.
There have been a few grumblings and rumblings from people, so I was approached by Navimie and told to suck it up and be online for the next one or she would come to Melbourne and slap me around the ears. So…I made sure I was going to be online Sunday night – I avoided everyone I know (phone calls included!) and on top of that, earlier in the week Exray had advised he was unlikely to be around as he was out all day (and he had also had the Fear of Navimie applied), so I was determined to be online even if I was falling asleep at my desk!
I had a good discussion with Exray about the whole situation and I think we cleared the air a little bit, but it seems as though this team is being used a sort of trial framework for people to either move into the main team or see if they are ok players. I am not overly excited about either of those prospects, as I have said before, I wanted this to be a stress free no pressure environment for the non raiders to get their interests piqued…but things change and morph and opportunities come up which can't be denied when running a guild. So we proceed forward with kicking arse and switching toons – and trialling everyone by fire!!!
All I can say is OMFG for our latest run! I am soo out of practise. It was hard to remember to do everything I needed to and to not die (which I did enough of) and I forgot about my CD's and I was just sucking horribly! It was not my best effort, in fact I would go so far as to say it wasn't even an average effort. I was very overwhelmed, not something I have ever felt much of on my mage in a situation I know really well. Exray was playing his mage and beating me in some things, sooo devastating….
The run went well overall though, and they have been going well from a progression point of view. Last Sunday they got to Paragons and only had 2 bosses left before calling it. That is a very impressive night!
We wiped a couple of times on Sunday but we had some new people in and our other tank Asuna was DCing a little so it was a little messy and disjointed. But that happens in an online game.
Some of the guys are still being pulled into the heroic team which just tears at my soul from a completely stupid jealous point of view. I have to temper that jealously though and mostly I manage to do it…just sometimes I get a little soul tear out of it.
Overall the runs have been successful and we have managed to get a lot of people gear and that has been pretty exciting from my point of view. I got a lovely new ring (Thanks Ravz!). I confess to being nervous about next Sunday if we do the second half – I really hope we can pull it off because Garry is not easy and he is not very forgiving! BRING IT ON!!
So given my crapiness at DPS, I decided it was time to try and be a better player and not be a clicker. I am not saying clickers can't be good players, but there is definitely something to be said for not having to move the mouse when you need to use a new spell.
A few weeks ago, I set up my buttons to be more conducive to button pressing and I set up the buttons on my mouse, I tested out the settings on a target dummy and then promptly freaked out every time I was in combat and went back to clicking.
As per my previous posts a couple of days ago I was discussing it with people again and decided I had to give this a serious attempt. I headed to the Timeless Isles with good intentions and once again got into combat and started clicking. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!
I spoke to Lominari about it and we decided my issue was movement. I don't want to die in the fire and that worries me more than anything which is what makes me nervous. So, I spent probably 30 minutes running around the shrine, just using my mouse as my mover and keeping my fingers over the buttons I would normally use for spells so that I could get used to the sensation. I have to re-programme 9 years of playing – this is not going to happen overnight.
I went and killed some stuff when I was more confident, but realistically I kill things fast and even on the timeless isles the mobs were dying pretty quickly. I needed a boss.
Flex. Oh Flex how I adore thee, let me count the ways.
I don't have any logs for the previous flex's we have done so I can only go off the numbers I think I remember in my head but I think I did ok. I warned everyone that I was re-learning and that I would possibly suck and die. I requested the healers not heal me if I was standing in the poop because I needed to pay the price for not moving – which would in theory make me better. I died only once on trash before Siegecrafter and I am still not even sure how that happened.
I also requested Drauka, Owl and Aza to keep reminding me not to click incase I fell back into habits. They reminded me and I can happily say -the only clicking I did, that I shouldn't have was the dream phases on Garrosh – I freaked a little. At this stage I don't have any of my AOE keybound so I was having to click that, but I am not overly worried about trash – I am concerned about my DPS for the bosses.
So, on Garrosh, I managed a staggering – 203k DPS. This was better than my previous attempts as far as I can remember I never hot 200k for Garrosh…I was close, but could never push over that ledge.
I can't remember what boss this was after….Thok maybe? or Spoils possibly, either way it was much better than I usually do on said fight and hence why I took a picture of it.
So I am pretty happy with the above numbers, they are still well off where I could be – but it was my first night not clicking – and I saw improvement on my usual numbers – this is good in my book. We also didn't have anyone providing the 7% buff to haste which my gear is built around having, so I was not haste capped and although that is not really a major increase, it is still something I was lacking. I also later realised my pet had been passive on Garrosh for the last part due to the previous dream phase and that would have reduced my DPS a little bit.
Overall, I think this was a very positive first attempt. I didn't die to anything stupid, I did manage higher DPS even though I was stuffing up my rotation about 30% and I was getting confident with it by the end of the run.
Let's see how I go over the next few weeks trying to continue it when I am not in a run.
Every once in a while I discover my stupidity knows no bounds. In fact this first bit Lominari was quite happy about as he "got to teach me something about WoW" which we did have a good laugh about.
For the past few weeks I have been thinking of taking my pally into LFR, but I want tank gear without tanking. So people had been telling me to just go and and loot change it. Me, being stupid thought they meant to go in as tank spec but just choose DPS – isn't that what we used to do? I didn't want to do that though, I felt I should at least try to DPS if I was going to be in there to get some loot.
Finally after chatting about in guild the other day, I mentioned it to Lominari and how I felt bad about doing that, he laughed at me and said to just change the loot drops. I stared at him blankly for a few moments, silently thinking he was crazy.
He showed me :
I basically screamed at him : WTFTFTFTFFTFTF!!!!! Yeah, I missed that one. Had I known that I would have gone into LFR much sooner. The entire guild waffling on now makes sense to me. I understand why it is so easy now and how it is even more impossible for people to be tanking with no gear…there is really no excuse for it – AT ALL!
However after having finally jumped in there with pretty bad gear – mix of prot setup gear and ret from the timeless isles, I am not sure I am cut out out for retribution. I sort of suck. BIG TIME!!
That shot of DPS was from Ji-Kun – I am number 20. TWENTY!!! I didn't even think DPS went that low. I am hating questing and I am hating raiding because I cannot kill anything. We won't dicuss our time on the Isle of Thunder, Lominari on his rogue killing stuff at 90k DPS and me struggling with one mob. He generally comes and helps me after he has killed the other 5 or 6 standing nearby.
I will continue to see if I can get some gear on my pally and once I get some ret gear happening so I can so at least be midpoint on DPS, I will start worrying about my prot gear. I would like to get enough that maybe I could tank some normals/Flex with the guild as practise or relax runs…just to see if I am any good in a raid environment or if I have lost it completely.
From a stat point of view, I have met all the requirements and I am following what I believe to be a pretty basic rotation (need to do more reading though) but I feel that my DPS should just not be that low. Some of the guys in the guild say ret pallies are sucking anyway and so I may just always suck with her. We shall see – a few more LFR's and maybe it will start picking up.
Another idiotic thing I have done recently, was to sort of, possibly…maybe….forget what buff I was using on my mage. I was complaining bitterly, in guild chat a few weeks back about why my stats off Ask Mr Robot were not matching with my in game stats. After much discussion with guildies (and I think they were pretty sure I am mentally challenged) I discovered that I was missing some of my haste because I was using my mage armour and not my frost armour. Yes, I was missing 7% haste and wondering why things were not working as intended.
And it just keeps on coming, I finally moved my druid over to be with the rest of the family (YAY) and realised I have been playing my level 90 druid without one of our fairly important spells since I reached max – Astral Communion. I only discovered this as my bars got all messed up in the move and as I was re-adding all my spells to my bars I found it. I will point out, I had wondered what everyone was talking about when I would read balance guides because I could never find the spell they were talking about. For shame!!! Made worse by me going into LFR and doing Durumu in Tauren form and not Boomy, funnily enough – all my buttons were fine once I changed forms. Yes, this would have to be the worst mistake yet.
Since magecraft forums disappeared a while ago I have been trying to find a new resource that I could utilise for help from other mages in a non volatile environment.
So whilst trolling the interwebs about mages, I found it!!
I have registered as well,
but haven't posted anything as yet. I am lurking and reading everything I can in the "help me" forums. I posted and jumped into it!!
My DPS has been medicore at best – and that annoys me – mages are supposed to be kicking arse and I am simply not. In my mind, I was following my rotation and doing everything correctly, but based on other people's response to the combat logs – I am doing a few things less than I should be and some things more than I should be.
My uptime on my Living Bomb should be at least 95% – on Sha of Pride – I was managing 75%. So need to lift that up more.
I am also using ice lance too much, I should just work on my movement so that I move stop and cast frostbolt sooner/cleaner than running too much (always been a problem of mine). According to some tips, my Fingers of Frost and ice lance should be about equal – and my ice lance is much higher – dare I say almost double in some cases. This is a lot of wasted time that I should be using frostbolt – as you can see below – I have only 25 Fingers of frost – yet I have 161 Ice Lances. Fingers of Frost allows 2 charges, so even if you double the amount – the most I should have is 50 Ice lances – and even then that would probably be too much (and I am not entirely convinced it works that way – some people suggest only using it when it has the full 2 charges, other says it doesn't make a difference!). Either way, it tells me enough to know I have to stop using Ice Lances :p
There are also notes that Brain Freeze and Frostfire should be equal and I think mine are pretty close, I have extra as I use Presence of Mind with frostfire, but I am wondering if that is not the best use of talents. I may need to change it to Ice Floes and learn how to cast and move on the go, I know I was terrible on it with my shammy and chain lightning, but we can see how it goes – if it increases my dps potentially then I should at least try it.
I also discovered that my evocation is not as high as I thought it was – at 79% this should be much higher – at least 90% would make me happy.
Anyway, I am happy to have found this new forum where I can read about and learn how to better my playstyle – little things like the above are things I should have picked up – and yes I should have been reading the logs sooner, but I have been slack and really the only raiding I get is Flex, so it is hard to stay practiced when you don't actually get to raid much. So, watch this space over the coming weeks, I will try and see how I go with some focused attention to my procs – and no – I am not even going to start with the slingshotting of Living Bomb…that may be out of my reach….LOL
Yeah, we were not flexing, we were fluxing, we started with the last wing on Saturday – we wiped – a lot. It was good. Yeah, I love wiping – it means I am raiding and doing what I love.
The trash before Blackfuse was horrific – I was told when I first went back to raiding that the trash was really hard – and I can't dispute that. We almost wiped, but a couple of us survived and so I therefore say it was not a wipe, just a lot of the raid died.
Blackfuse – was a pain in the buttski more because the first couple of times people were dropping their shit all over the place, but you know some people haven't seen the fights, weren't on vents etc so I can forgive that – but next time….yeah next time I will spank them!!
Garrosh finally makes sense now, I asked what the catalyst was for movement and that cleared everything up. So I managed to do about 160k on the fight, given that is my 3rd time on him in Flex, I think that will only increase when i get better at it and know what I am going. On one of those attempts I actually had DPS at about 220 for a sustained period!! Woot!! (Thanks to the swanky meta gem I now have!)
We killed Garrosh and then decided to do Wing 1 – I got an upgrade to a trinket I already have which was pretty cool, but other than nothing else, I used my rolls a couple of times hoping for better leggings, but managed to score gold every time.
We smashed through wing 1 and survived one boss with 30 seconds left on enrage and Sha with a hunter attacking the boss whilst we were all buffing after a trash wipe, if we can survive those things we can survive anything.
I do wonder though if there is something that changes between flex and LFR – as I can do much better DPS in LFR on the same fights – I wonder is there more movement in Flex and so you lose some measure of DPS, or do the bosses take less damage in LFR then Flex? Not sure, I will investigate though as it sort of bums me out when I can see much higher numbers in LFR on the same fights.
It was a good night, I tried to talk a little more on vents so as to not freak out my raid leader again, but I was just enjoying my time in raid, I didn't get any Titan runestones at all!!! All those boss fights we did and ZERO!!!! Devastated!!
I have made some significant improvements to my mage with regards to my build, and I noticed it in LFR where I mainly in the top 1 or 2 position with 200k (or anywhere from 180k+) DPS. I have gone for a full haste build as my gear allowed me to stack the haste needed to be maxxed out in raid with the 5% extra buff – super quick and mobile essentially.
Not very exciting I know, but I am still without the meta or my cloak, and I think those figures are quite enjoyable to see for someone with a medium level gear score. Maybe I could do better, but I think that is highly improbable, I am playing at the best I can right now..the only thing I am missing a little too much is my evocation buff…I tend to miss it about 40% of the time, which means I am missing out a fair bit of DPS increase. Anyway, that is something that will just take practice given I only recently added it to my rotation, I am not going to beat myself up about it just yet.
Anyway, this post was about freaking our my raid leader, which I think I did superbly last night, by just being my usual raider-self.
After spending 5 years as a GL/RL, I do enjoy sitting back and just raiding without having to contribute to the conversations going on in vents, however this is the complete opposite of me when I am doing almost anything else….you generally can't shut me up!
Nav was a little worried last night that I was unhappy with being pulled into raid in a normal….I was more like this behind my vents microphone:
and secretly I was not talking much because I was so nervous about being in the raid I was more like this with the rest of the raid team:
I did ok DPS on some fights – like the Shamans I was at about 160K and I am not sure about the scorpion one, on Gen NAz I did approx 170k as well. Of course that isn't everything, but I need to get my DPS up above 150k if I want to kill Garrosh on Flex (and perhaps one day as normal) consistently with all the moving.
My love of raiding means I am completely focused when we do bosses…no talking, no laughing, no joking, I spend the entire boss fight forgetting to even breath because anything else might make me lose my rotation. It has always been this way and even when raid leading I used to get so focused on what was going on I would forget to actually raid lead sometimes
The larger issue is that I am still essentially new to the guild – and certainly to their raiding team. I am nervous around them – they run heroics…and here I am hoping to be in the same raid team as people that I have always aspired to be like, that I have read about for ages and amazed at their progress. I see myself pushing everything I can to get to 160k DPS and then end the fight to see me sitting at 4/5th spot due to their heroic geared DPS doing 250+K dps…I feel stupid.
It won't be that way forever, I know…I am only one secret off the next part of the legendary which means I get the meta gem, and miles off the actual cloak..but it is one step closer.
Anyway, TL;DR version is if you want to freak out your raid leader be very quiet in vents and too scared to talk :) eheheh
Last week before shut down whilst I was on holidays and hubby was out for the evening, a couple of guildies decided to run some old content (they do this regularly chasing mounts) and I tagged along as I wanted to get some achievements, mounts would be awesome – don't get me wrong – but I am more concerned with getting my achievement mounts first – they do have a much higher drop rate :p
Anyway, to cut a very long eventful night short, we ran ICC (H 25 man), Uld (I think it was H 25 man), Firelands (H 25 man) and then ToT (10).
I kid you not – I KID YOU NOT!!!! We 5 manned all of it and I scored so many achievements! I have added them all into a gallery because let's face it, you don't need a huge long arse post with every single screenshot and let me tell you there were heaps of them!!
I am now only one achievement off my second ICC mount – SOOO CLOSE!! I can taste it! I still need every Ulduar one in 10 man for my drake, I am now 23/25 embers off for my legendary staff and I am now halfway through the achievements for the mount in FL as well.
It was pretty exciting though as Owl managed to complete his legendary staff quest – and bug it out whilst trying to pick it up – it worked in the end though – and I was soooo excited and completely jealous! So I am going to try and find some way to get into FL more regularly now just to get this done and perhaps the achievements for the mount. He kept saying he was going to delete it or trash it, and I may have to kill him for comments like that – I would give my left..well…body part for it!
We had very few wipes overall and seriously some of the DPS these guys can throw out had me in just complete and utter awe! I just felt so completely outclassed! I mean I know my gear isn't great, but seeing people hitting 800k or more just makes me feel useless at 160k….really useless. I hope that playing with awesome players will help keep me on my toes and wanting to improve my playing as well. I can't guarantee I will ever be as amazing as those guys – but I will be damned if I am not going to try my hardest!
So here is the gallery of all the shots I got today!
So returning to a game you love is pretty difficult because it is amazing the amount of information you forget that at one time seemed really important, but that you don't realise you have forgotten, because like a remembral – you can't remember what it is your forgot, even if you do know that you have forgotten something.
I have spent the last month trying to find Evocation in my spellbook, because I realised I had a glyph for it, but wasn't using it. I spend about 15 minutes every night trying to find it thinking I have missed it on each page, I checked my talent trees to see if it something I needed to spec into now, and concluded I was crazy because it was gone. I finally decided this morning to google it…turns out…I am using rune of power (duh – which I knew) but that is what replaces evocation! IDIOT!!! IDIOT!!!!!!
Of course, that is nothing compared to the idiocy of last night. I discovered noxxic has a list of approx DPS at differing gear levels, which is goddamn fantastic! I am of course nowhere near for any of my toons – but it certainly gives me something to aim for so I know what I should be doing. Anyway I found this after some heroics last night in which my boomy could not get above 20k and infact the healer was beating me in kitty form as resto – she is very well geared though at 550 something whereas I am only barely scraping into the 470 area. However according to noxxic I should be able to hit about 70k dps….LOL…sure thing buddy!!
I decided then to try and find more hit on my gear somehow, after complaining to the hubby about the lack of hit on boomy timeless isle gear and how I had to reforge all the spirit off because it was useless to me, he advised to check out Mr Robot. I was reticent, but did it anyway and it was telling me to reforge back into spirit – enter my tirade about spirit being useless I don't need mana regen blah blah blah…..yeah…you can all laugh at me now. Spirit = hit for some classes. What is worse, after the hubby had finished laughing at me I remembered the hundreds of disputes I had seen in LFD because DPSers had taken gear with spirit (boomies and SP's mainly – I am sure there was another class as well – I want to say shammies??). How could I forget something so instrumental to the classes?
I guess this is the joy of coming back to a game 12 months later, you do forget things and need to spend time re-learning. I know I am still trying to learn how to play again, I am better on my mage because I have played her for so long, but with other toons I am really struggling to get into the swing of it. Heroics are also very hard as most of the time I am running with people who are very well geared and hitting the 180k+ DPS mark, which means mobs die faster than I can cast a spell – on both my mage and my boomy. It makes it hard to see where I am sitting in reality and harder to judge what I need to improve.
I know on my mage in LFR I can sometimes be in the top 10 for damage and hitting just over 100k DPS, but according to noxxic I should be hitting 250k + dps…as a frost mage at my gear level and that is not maximum – that is realistic….no way!?!?!?!? I have to spend some time on a dummy and test out wtf I am doing wrong as I am missing out on a lot of dps. I need to examine combat logs of mages and see what they are doing that I am not. Anyway, I am sure, like the previous things, there is something I have forgotten to do….I just have to find out what that is!!!
I hit 90 on my mage last week and have been just trying to get my gearscore up.
I am playing arcane at the moment as it appears to be the only spec I can get more than 15k out of…which is weird given I have seen myself shoot upwards of 80k as arcane…I can't even understand why I suck so much in the other specs.
We are still recruiting 2 DPS for the guild for our core raid team, which sucks, I had hoped we would be able to nab people whilst leveling and during this preparation period. We really are just wanting some solid players who can avoid the bad stuff and be part of the team – no idea why that is so hard!
We have only about 4 other people at level 90 and a couple more almost there..they took their time and I am itching to get back into raiding. We were hoping to head in tonight, but since we are so short on people, it may have to wait until next Wednesday at this stage. Fingers crossed we can get some of us into LFR tonight as a finger dipping exercise.
Not much to report really, hubby has gotten his monk to 86 since release, a few more days and he will be 90 and able to get some heroics under his belt. YIPPEE!!
I am doing my dailies as often as I can, and I am close to getting my cloud serpent – I even found 4 eggs on my first day hunting and have not seen any since LOL beginner's luck ran out on me I think
I am loving pandaland though, aside from leveling cooking and the Klaxxis
I had not been raiding for an entire week. ONE WEEK! I was having withdrawals until last night when I got pulled into a full DS run by some friends :) We did Mor'chok heroic and that was about it, the rest we ran like manics through. I felt so good afterwards…just having been in a raid was enough to satisfy me for a few days.
As mentioned previously I am in the process of updating our guild website with all the raiding information and strats I can find for MoP. I already have most of Mogu'shan vaults committed to memory, just the last 2 I need to work on a little more.
I have done a couple of the Heart of Fear bosses, mostly committed to memory – they look like fantastic fights! Can't wait! But I have done nothing about the middle raid yet. Yes I have been slack. But committing that many bosses to memory is hard work let me tell you
All this raiding information has made me literally wanting to raid. I want the kill and I really want to see us do it – I don't want to fail as a raid leader, I want to push people to be better and I want to be better myself.
This of course brings me to my mage. I sucked at arcane, I am now sucking at frost and I am going to try fire at some point over the next few weeks – probably whilst levelling? I am feeling very very uncomfortable on my mage and completely out of depth. I was hoping a run in DS would help me practice the frost rotation and in all honesty I was pathetic. For someone with my gear I should be kicking arse. Is this the end of my mage? Have I really come this far to not be able to do another xpac on her?
NO NO NO NO NO!!!! I will not give up just because shit got hard! If I stop playing her its because I want to…not because I can't handle the changes! SCREW YOU no self confidence!! I'll show you!!
Sorry I momentarily lost my train of thought….and it doesn't want to come back. So I shall leave you here with my little tangent of anger at myself :) LOL
Also found out the store I am picking up my collector's edition from – isn't having a midnight launch like they have every other xpac..so now I am going to just go to work on Tuesday, pick up my copy on the way home and get Wednesday off instead. No midnight launch for me

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #448: Up, Up and Away; #539: What Did You Do?!
There will be five updates this week (some of them guest strips), so keep coming back!
For those of you who haven't heard of Rare Exports — pretty much all of you, I wager — this is Rare Exports:
I caught it at an advance screening last week, thanks to Ain't It Cool News and Gapers Block's Steve Prokopy (a.k.a. Capone). It's a bizarre, Finnish "Christmas tale" that… defies explanation, I guess. You can get the gist of it from the trailer, though. It's a flawed film on many levels, but it's funny and so many kinds of weird that I can't help but recommend it. If it's playing near you (and, for the vast majority of you, it isn't), see it — on Christmas Eve or Christmas, if you can. (Sure enough, it opens in Chicago on Christmas Eve, at the lovely Music Box Theatre.)
UPDATE: A couple of
Finnish readers have informed me that there were two Rare Exports short films. They're both on YouTube, of course. I've only seen one of them (which is really funny), but I think the feature is an… er, "origin" story of sorts, so if you are able to see the film and want to go in totally blind, you may not want to watch them first.
Sorry to disappoint those of you hoping for one of the girls to dress up as Quorra or Jem from Tron Legacy; maybe Thursday… Having seen the movie — and unlike half the internet, I enjoyed it despite its many (many) shortcomings. It's pretty, it sounds great, and I thought it was fun.
What did you think — or did you let the negative buzz discourage you from checking it out?

Review: Coherence (2013)
Saturday, October 4, 2014
Written and directed by James Ward Byrkit.
Starring Emily Foxler, Hugo Armstrong, Nicholas Brendon, Elizabeth Gracen, Lauren Maher, Alex Manugian, Lorene Scafaria, and Maury Sterling.
A new Patreon backer at the $50 level opted out of the usual reward of a plug in the "Become a Multiplex Patron" box (above, on the website), asking instead for me to plug the 2013 indie science fiction filmCoherence (with which he is not affiliated). I was happy to oblige, and so "A fan of Coherence" — a.k.a. The Patron, as I'll refer to him from here out — is, for the duration of his patronage, among Multiplex's supporters. (And, yes, I will review just about any movie a $50 backer asks me to.)
What really got my interest in the film (aside from being asked very nicely to see it) was that The Patron compared it to Shane Carruth's Primer, one of the best no-budget sci-fi movies ever made. I can definitely see the comparison: both are decidedly low-budget films with small casts and a science-fictiony premise. I feel like seeing the film fairly blind is probably the best, so I won't summarize the plot beyond the premise of eight friends having a dinner party when a comet passes over and Strange Things Happen, but I don't think I'm quite as enthusiastic as The Patron.
Unfortunately, the "go in as blind as you can" suggestion means I feel like I need to be pretty vague. Some clunky (and largely unnecessary) exposition gets spat out early on, which tried my patience a bit, but it gets fun as the plot gets rolling. And the plot is definitely the star of the film, not the largely forgettable cast of affluent, Southern California white people or the dialogue, which often feels improvised (in that it neither pushes the story forward nor reveals character, as good dialogue ought to).
Despite some genuinely terrifically creepy or suspenseful moments in the film, a handful of contrived plot points hold it back from being much more than a fun genre flick for me, but I found myself wondering what would happen next — almost up to the very end. A late turn in the film got more of an eye-roll from me than the shock that I think it was supposed register. As always, your mileage may vary, but the film's merits make it well worth a viewing, particularly for science fiction fans suffering from blockbuster fatigue.
Here's the trailer! If it piques your interest, please do check it out. It's available for rent from Amazon Instant Video or for purchase from its official website, among other places. (I never recommend reading YouTube comments, but definitely on't read the comments if you want to stay away from spoilers.)

Sorry for posting this question in another tablet model's forum, but I couldn't find one for the one I have.

I got a cheap tablet (Audisonic model T-10 b) for my daughter. Initially it was running alright, but a few hours after I installed some app games for her it simply froze dead, doesn't even turn the power off with a long press of the button. It's still on but completely frozen.

I would appreciate some help with this. I'm wondering if I caught a virus while downloading content. Another thing I noticed is that apps don't really seem to close completely when user leaves them, the processes seem to be still running. I wonder if it's overload, too many programs running at the same time, and we didn't even noticed until it crashed.

All help is appreciated and again apologies for posting this question in the aPad forum.

Firstly remove the screw hole covers that are located on the edge by pressing gently on each one with a tool. This should cause one side of the screw covers to raise up and then you can pick them out.

2. After removing all the covers, remove all the small screws.

3. Use a thin tool to push in between the black screen and the silver outer shell. Located at regular intervals along the inside of the case are snap in clips that hold the black screen part of the tablet together. If you push gently outward on the silver casing and you are near an internal clip, you will hear it pop out of position. Use some plastic tools to slowly move along the casing, popping each clip out until the black screen unit is free to be removed.

IMPORTANT! (Do not remove the screen until reading step 4 (be careful not to tear the cable connected to the screen; tearing this cable will void your warranty and destroy the touchscreen!)

4. Gently let the black screen out from the silver casing 2 inches. Observe two connecting cables. One is thicker and often covered in silver colored insulting tape. We will leave the silver cable connected. The smaller ribbon cable is copper colored. The smaller ribbon cable can be disconnected by operating the plastic clasp. Gently open the clasp by pushing each corner towards the length of cable. until both sides are raised and the copper colored thin ribbon slips easily out from the clasp.

Now your FT3 is open.

Notice:

We clearly have warned everyone about tearing the Screen connector cable in this description. Opening the device to change battery or speaker is done so at the buyer's own risk. ChinaGrabber will not be held responsible for any additional physical damage done.

Then Nook seems to be a good option, will scout for some used one. Doesn't make sense to go for a new one, when its going to be used for just playing chess. ranju r 2012-03-18T07:24:22Z RE: Pls suggest ebook/tablet model for playing chess on device Christopher Silva urn:androidpit:forum:post:fd70bab3b52cf9aca0030ec68dbe4b86 2012-03-17T20:27:44Z 2012-03-17T20:27:44Z The Nook has its own market but Chess is available.

Thanks for responding. I am in India. Nook Colour or Nook Touch are the devices I am considering, though they cost a bomb here. Do these devices allow to d/l chess games and play as I heard that it only allows online games. Do they have access to android market. The only use my father would do is play chess games. I doubt I can get him to read ebooks on it. I would have loved to give him a tablet , so that I could video chat with him, as I live quite far away from him. But I think, it will take a long time for him to grasp computers and the internet , as he has never had the opportunity to use a computer. ranju r 2012-03-16T23:31:16Z RE: Pls suggest ebook/tablet model for playing chess on device Christopher Silva urn:androidpit:forum:post:7a602dae5241d2ae0166b19135e983f0 2012-03-16T12:47:38Z 2012-03-16T12:47:38Z Hi, I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.. small enough to carry around and big enough screen for those with eye problems. Chess looks great on it too. Also it has cameras and wifi - faster than 3G

My mother, over 70, uses a Nook and loves it. It does not have cameras though.

There are a lot of good tablets on the market. I'm personally drawn to the Samsung tablets but if you just need some basics the Kindle Fire is probably one of the best ones out there because its cheap and powerful.

Please suggest a touch screen device 7-9" for my aged father to play chess on device, he is not internet savvy, but if device comes with wifi or 3g and front camera for video conferencing , i might be able to get him to use them. ranju r 2012-03-16T09:32:55Z RE: Table 7" GOOWEEL wm8650 VIA 926 REVIEW Eric McBride urn:androidpit:forum:post:64063d05b4a728abc770fee45e793a9a 2012-03-12T22:34:22Z 2012-03-12T22:34:22Z

Hey Guys,

I see the thread taking place below and there is some really good content there. I run a site called cintamani.co.uk where we focus only on tablet pc's. Further we only give our customers the ones that we trust. Would it be possible to ask some of you guys to write reviews on some of them? As I would really like to know what you think and if you can I will negotiate some incentives with you.

India, Africa should form working group on healthcare: Experts
India and the African countries should mull forming a working group to explore healthcare cooperation, stakeholders and experts said here Monday.
"Cooperation in sharing local-level experiences in healthcare of both the regions will help," Naresh Trehan, chairman and managing director of the Medanta group of hospitals, said at a discussion on "Delivering affordable healthcare solutions for Africa".
The discussion took place at the 10th CII Exim Bank conclave of India-Africa Project Partnership.
Trehan said one of the similarities in the healthcare scenarios of India and Africa were that both regions have not been able to eliminate communicable diseases like malaria and were burdened with non-communicable diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
"A working group to explore issues of healthcare cooperation between India and Africa should be considered," he said.
Asserting that India was committed to help Africa as far as healthcare was concerned, Ranjan Chakravarti, head of transformation and business consulting at Ranbaxy, said: "The setting up of a centralised cell should be explored to address such issues. This will play an effective role in sharing experiences".
A.K. Khanna, executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals Limited, said: "In Africa, each and every healthcare provider is focusing on HIV/AIDS."
Though HIV was one aspect of the health issues facing Africa, there were others which were affecting the economy much more. "The disease burden is shifting to diabetes, hypertension and anaemia," he said.
"India also has to think of Africa as an opportunity. Medical tourism is very important and it should be developed properly," he added.
Remy Lamah, health minister of the Republic of Guinea, said: "Africa, specially Guinea, needs to improve the quality of healthcare at the national level."
"We need to focus on pre-natal care and HIV," he added.

The day after the general elections, the New Orleans Times Picayune ran the headline, "Obama Triumphs – 'The Best is yet to Come.'" The sinking feeling in this writer's heart had no place to go; it was already at rock bottom, but the headline managed to create a nauseating pain in my stomach and a deepening sense of foreboding for the nation I love so much.
Advertisement-content continues below
The etymology of the Creole-derived 'lagniappe' (something added) so often used in the New Orleans area is strained by the idea of the 'best' being yet to come, as suggested in the Picayune's headline. About half of the nation is now firmly convinced that Barack Obama's worst is about to come. It is a case of one man's hope and naiveté being another man's perversion.
We may expect the preachers, prophets, and messengers of the nation to read the outcome of the election as a disastrous final sign of doom for the nation. In fact, it is not a final sign, but merely a step in an ever-changing world that is indeed headed toward the prophesied 'Battle of Armageddon.' Prophecy is not speculation if it is based on scripture and a reasonable interpretation of eschatology's more obvious declarations. What it is and always will be to the very last day is pre-written history.
Eight years of publishing articles, like so many seeds, which warn that America will not solve its problems through politics have landed on some good ground; but as the Bible warns, the scattered seed falls mostly on the bad ground, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke it out. (Mt 13: 1-9) Yet, even this is part of prophetic utterance.
The bible speaks of same sex marriage, homosexual pursuits, and abortion as perversities that bring nations into direct conflict (judgment) with God, but it doesn't stop there. Perverse thinking is an outcome of reprobation, which is also predicted as a serious mind-warping scourge in the last days. (Ro 1: 28)
Advertisement-content continues below
Need examples? On 9/11, Muslims struck at the financial center of American commerce and brought down the Twin Towers. A short time after 9/11, we elect to our highest office a man with a Muslim background. This is not good judgment gone askew; it is obviously perverse. We ignore his connections to liberals and Marxist ideologues whose ideas are a clear threat to America's founding principles and every revered document in our archives – this too is perversity. We have witnessed his amateurish fiscal policies create immense debt and joblessness, but we give him carte blanche to go ahead with his failures for another four years; what else could this be called but pure unmitigated and wholesale perversity?
Finally, after introducing several unwanted changes to the very moral fabric of the nation and implementing executive orders that defy Congress, the Constitution, and the Bible, we give him another four years to continue to rock the nation. This too is not just poor judgment; it is high perversity.

With plenty of cap space and numerous needs, the Jacksonville Jaguars were expected to be players in the free agent market. They started their involvement on Saturday when they signed former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Red Bryant.
Jaguars head into free agency with some momentum: reached agreement with former Seahawks DT Red Bryant on a 4-yr deal.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 8, 2014
This isn't a huge move by the Jaguars, but it adds some much needed depth to the defensive line and a player who has a championship pedigree.
Source tells @FOXSports1 that 4-year, $17M deal DE Red Bryant signed with @jaguars could reach $22M if he plays through length of contract
— Alex Marvez (@alexmarvez) March 8, 2014
David Caldwell and company did a good job of not overpaying and handing out an exorbitant contract. It's difficult to pay a player's actual value in free agency due to demand, but I think the contract matches the value Bryant has on this team. He was still playing at a relatively high level in Seattle, and his release was more of an indication of the Seahawks' cap situation than Bryant's level of play.
Clearly the connection with head coach Gus Bradley played a huge part in Bryant's signing. While it's become nauseatingly easy to make all these connections with Seattle about the Jaguars drafting a short quarterback or a late-round guy like Russell Wilson, the links between Bradley and his former players on defense are real and logical. Bradley is implementing a similar scheme and philosophy to what he had in place in Seattle, so having personnel to fit that scheme just makes sense.
Gus has a fire about him. I played for him for four years and I know what type of man he is. He's committed to winning and you best believe he's going to come up with the best game plan to beat us.
– Red Bryant
The Jaguars likely aren't done in free agency. A guy to keep an eye on is former Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen, who might be a good fit as a LEO/outside pass rusher.

Concerns over woman's death
A coroner has told the NHS organisation which cares for mental health patients in Cornwall that it needs to communicate better with families of patients.
Assistant Coroner, Andrew Cox, recorded an open verdict on the death of 58-year-old Susan Marchant from Pentire Road, Newquay, after her body was recovered from the sea.
The inquest heard the RNLI recovered Mrs Marchant's body from the sea after a Coastguard search team found a carrier bag containing some of her possessions at Bakers Folly.
Doubts over police alert system
Concern has been raised about the effectiveness of the police alert system that Newquay venues use – it came during the trial of four doormen charged with unlawfully killing a man.
Lewis Bowns, 26, of Lewarne Road, Newquay; Richard Favetta, 30, of Penmere Drive, Newquay; Ian Harold, 46, of Fernhill Road, Newquay, and Graham Lutey, 35, of Trenithon Farm, Summercourt, have all pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and
manslaughter by negligence after 48-year-old Michael Kearns died as they restrained him outside Sailors nightclub.

Here you will find information on the policy and guidelines that underpin NHS Health Scotland´s Alcohol Programme of work.
The Alcohol Etc (Scotland) Bill regulates the sale of alcohol and licensing of premises on which alcohol is sold and to make provision for the imposition of charges on holders of licences granted under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. This Bill was published on 25 November 2009.
Published in 2009, the framework is the main reference point and policy context for all alcohol-related work in Scotland. The document offers a programme of action covering four broad areas: reduced alcohol consumption, supporting families and communities, enhancing positive attitudes and positive choices and improved treatment and support for those who need it.
The review of alcohol licensing in Scotland (2003) and the review of off-sales in the community (2004) informed the development of the Licensing (Scotland) Bill, which was ratified by the Scottish Parliament in November 2005 as the Licensing (Scotland) Act, 2005 (external link)
The Nicholson Committee undertook a Review of alcohol licensing in Scotland (external link) and reported on this in 2003. It recommended a number of new guiding principles for licensing including the promotion of public health. This work was complemented by a review of Off-sales in the Community (external link). Published in 2004, it set out a series of recommendations for more responsible off-sales provision.CEL 01 (2012) Health Promoting Health Service: Action in Hospital Settings is the current policy driver for Health Promoting Health Service work. This letter from the Chief Executive builds on the work of CEL 14 (2008) which asked all NHS Boards to implement specific promoting actions on smoking, alcohol, breastfeeding, food and health, and health at work. CEL 01 (2012) extends these original aspirations and range of actions to include sexual health and active travel. It also includes community hospitals in the settings targeted.Back to topUpdated 22nd July 2014
The Alcohol section on the Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO) webpages now contains the content migrated from the Alcohol Statistics Scotland compendium publications and the Alcohol Information Scotland website (external link).

Philips Holland 6V6GT Branded Pope NOS Amperex 6V6
Sold For:

Sold Date: 03/06/2011
Channel: Online Auction
Source: eBay
Category: Tools
This auction is for one PAIR of Philips Holland / Pope 6V6GT tubes.
Pope 6V6GT is by far the best example of a 6V6GT ever made. The Pope 6V6GT was made in a Philips Holland factory in Brussels near the border of Belgium and Holland. I have driven by the old factory on my way to the Charleroi airport. This tube was made from 1957 to about 1960. Pope, Adzam, Mullard, and Amperex were names owned by Philips for selling tubes into different areas of the world. Philips really owned the tube industry and were the Microsoft of vacuum tubes.
Our company:
Upscale Audio has been a player with high-end audiophiles for decades… importing, selecting, and testing New Old Stock tubes and providing only the best for use in the world's most expensive and exquisite audio components. Not only do we have the largest stock of vintage tubes, we also sell some of the coolest tube gear on the market, including Cary, Quad, Mystere , PrimaLuna , and Peachtree/Decco.
The owner, Kevin Deal, has been a veteran of the industry since 1978. Kevin's tube hunting trips to Europe in search of lost inventories are legendary. Is a world-renowned authority on vacuum tubes, particularly their relationship to audio components and has been interviewed by the likes of The New York Times, The Absolute Sound, Soundstage! and Lightning Magazine in Japan.
Our testing:
First, all our tubes are burned in to ensure stability and to weed out potential problems. Power tubes are aged for 72 hours on our custom-built TubeZilla and Son of TubeZilla; fully regulated test and burn-in racks. After completing the burn-in, our technician measures the bias requirements of each tube on our exclusive TM-101 tube matcher, where they are screened for excessive screen current draw. Finally, using the measurements realized by our TM-101 as a guide, our tech groups power tubes into matched quads (sets of four), where each tube is closely matched to the other to ensure the best sound and tubes that age gracefully together. Of course, matching in any quantity necessary (pairs, quads, sextets, octets) is also available and included free of charge.
Preamp tubes undergo a slightly different test before they can make the Upscale Audio grade. After burn-in, each tube is measured for transconductance. Next, our tech places them into a simulated phono stage where he examines each tube carefully and grades them for noise and microphony.
Warranty: Upscale Audio extends a 90 day warranty from day of purchase on these vacuum tubes. Tubes are warranted against defects, except in cases of abuse, and replaced with like-item only. Tubes are electronic parts and therefore are not refundable. Upscale Audio is not liable for any damage or injury caused by the improper use of its tubes or the use of an incorrect/incompatible tube type. If you are unsure of what tube or tubes your equipment uses, consult the manufacturer before making a purchase. Using an incompatible tube type may cause severe damage to your equipment and will void your tube's warranty.

Easy Fund-Raisers for Homeschool Organizations
- Tuesday, December 08, 2009
Many homeschool groups bring in needed income through fund-raisers. Through experience, I have found that some fund-raisers are much easier to conduct than others.
Although a very common practice, selling products door to door is one of the hardest ways to raise money, because managing the orders, delivering the product, and storing inventory involves a lot of hard work. My homeschool group had tried selling products in the past, but we wanted an easier way to bring in funds. We found several ideas that have worked well for homeschool groups, including coupon and reward programs, fund-raising dinners, donation drives, and website income.
Coupon and Reward Programs
Several grocery stores and retail businesses make donations to nonprofit organizations, such as homeschool groups, as a reward for shopping with them.
Box Tops for Education: This General Mills (GM) program is a coupons-for-cash program. Your members cut off a small 10-cent coupon from General Millscereal box tops (or packages of other GM products), collect them, and then turn them in. In exchange, GM will mail a check made payable to your organization. What could be easier? Little organization is needed. You just need to apply to the program and find someone who is willing to be responsible for collecting the coupons. Everyone in your organization can do his or her part, and even small contributions add up. Here are some tips to get the Box Tops programworking for you:
- Offer an incentive for participation. For every donation of box tops, our coordinator rewards participants with a piece of candy or a sticker.
- Use a visual display. Make a poster that illustrates the goal (a thermometer or perhaps a big box of cereal!), and chart your group's progress.
- Establish a financial target. For example, perhaps your homeschool co-op wants to purchase recreational equipment for preschoolers or some specialized school supplies. You can motivate families to collect box tops if they support the end result of the fund-raiser.
- In order to participate, homeschool groups should meet the requirements described on the Box Tops for Education website: "Accredited home school associations, K-8, in the United Sates that are organized and operated primarily for educational purposes and have 15 or more students." General Mills does not define accredited, and many homeschool groups use this program as an easy fund-raiser choice.
Shopping Reward Programs: Reward programs return a portion of a shopper's purchases (typically 2-4%) to a nonprofit organization of their choice. My co-op of fifty families received $500 when we participated one year. The amount earned can vary widely, depending on your members' participation. Typically the store issues a pre-paid card. The card is then used to make purchases and can be reloaded for more purchases. These reward programs are easy because your organization doesn't have to sell products door to door.
eScrip is a fund-raising program that is similar to the store reward programs, in which businesses contribute a percentage of your credit card and debit card purchases to the organization of your choice. One homeschool group in California earned $1,468 by using eScrip. Visit the eScrip website to learn how it works.
Food as a Fund-Raiser
We have pizza day once a month at our homeschool co-op. It has been an enjoyable and easy way to generate income. We announce (a week beforehand) that pizzas will be ordered the next week. We take orders for whole pizzas for $10 each. To keep it simple, we order only two types: cheese and pepperoni. Everyone brings his or her own drinks, paper plates, and napkins. Pizza Day has been very popular in our co-op. The kids love the food, the moms love the low price, and our co-op makes about $1 in profit on each pizza, even after tipping the deliveryman. It adds up every month!

GE's SymSuite IP Platform Bridges Analog and Digital Video
Users connect existing analog cameras and monitors to an IP network
GE's SymNav software lets users view their entire network through their PCs. Since the network's inputs are not multiplexed, they can see real-time, full-motion video of broadcast quality images at 30 fps for each channel. They can call up four cameras at one time or view video in a single window. They can also find video storage quickly by searching for time/date, camera, alarm, event, or transaction text. The software also lets users control PTZ cameras.
The new GE SymSuite is available now.
