Sadly, no. I was not getting paid to tweet about the #clubparadise concert @erwincenter with @drake. My Social Media class was assigned a live-tweeting assignment and it was required for me to encourage others to get involved with the commentary, and be a part of the #yoloatx experience.
I knew I was tweeting some. Ok I knew I was tweeting a lot. FINE, I knew I was tweeting too dang much! But there was so much information out there (regarding who was opening) that I felt it necessary to fill in the public. How could I have disused each opening act without tweeting each individual one?
Simple: Use twitter handles of performers and put them in chronological order of performances. Perhaps if I had planned better, I would not have blown up the twitter world with my Drake commentary…and saved my friends the hassle of scrolling through my 20th post.
In other words, I learned tonight that you need to establish what you are primarily going to be tweeting about. Maybe a popular catch phrase? Maybe certain songs? Maybe something cool and unusual? Who knows. But tonight I learned you must draw the line somewhere.
ALSO, @drake gave me a shout out! Again, I've posted it about 19327483 times all over my social media platforms. It was the greatest moment of the night.
And for all that, I'm sorry twitter followers. Thanks for your patience.

Then this past Saturday I did my first 5k and ran 19:02! So I guess I'm pretty close now.
Close...that's an understatement...you'll nail it quite soon I am sure.
Quick question..I seem to remember you over at Cool Running ... did you run the LLBean 10K in Freeport, ME last year?
Thanks, yes I used to post on Cool Running, and yes I did the LL Bean 10k last year! I remember finding out after the race that you were there, too. And didn't you send me a photo from the start that coincidentally had me in it? Too funny...
Hey remember that black eye and cut I got after getting tripped up last year at LL Bean?

Well, first off, nobody (to my knowledge) uses Deep Earth. DR on Armor makes it next to worthless, just like armor pots. As to master and prismatic, it depends on the gearing level and the fight. If a Paladin is just short of CTC, or wants to maintain CTC with a stamina trinket, they might use a master elixir. Other than that, they'd usually stick to a good old Steelskin. Druids on the other hand have no cap to where mastery becomes a useless stat to them, so you could see one popping a master elixir with a prismatic for a fight like H Yorsaj. But i think in both cases most people are just using a flask.
As to who will get the most benefit from alchemy, i would say Druid, though there isn't really much of a deciding factor.
IDK about wizard oil.
Soloing content..... I want to say Paladin, but i don't see Druids having any significant problems with it either.

Post subject: A Few Thoughts on the Disdev
I've been thinking about the disdev, after just getting my Andro squadron shot up by a Fed dread and a pair of DWs. Is it better to displace the eenmy, or to yourself? The answer seems to depend in part on what race your fighting.
Drone/disruptor races - These guys have a weapon that fires every turn, and you'll have to come within overload range to get much use out of your weapons. PLus, they can do more leaker points than your damage control can handle. So after you fire, it makes sense to have an exit strategy to open the range while you rearm the TRs. Disdev yourself immediately after you fire.
Hydrans - Fusion armed Hydrans have heavy weapons with a range even shorter than yours. Disdev away from them after you fire. If there are several of them, you may disdev them to break up their formation.. If the Hydrans have fighters out, disdevving the big ships can seperate them from their fighter screen, and it's more energy efficient than using your few available weapons to go after the fighters. With hellbore Hydrans, you really can't play keep away, so disdev them to disrupt their firing opportunities.
Plasma races - Disdeving yourself is cheaper than buying a lot of acceleration when there's a big glowing ball of plasma chasing you, and bolts, if he resorts to them, are a good way of recharging the batteries. Remember, that which does not kill you makes you stronger. Exception: ISC. Disdev yourself to get inside his myopic zone quickly.
Orions - Depends on how they're armed. Actually, with their stealth advantage, it may not matter what you do. Stealth is a huge problem for TRs.
Feds - You need to desdev them, and hope they displace to a location where you can get a good hit on them, because photon torpedos at max overload can quickly turn your PA panels from an asset to a liability. There is the question of an exit strategy after you fire. You'll want a disdev here too, and you may not have one. If you don't, use evasive maneuvers while the TRs rearm.
Comments, criticisms, and additional thoughts are invited.

Interesting point, and one which may have a role to play in Andromedan tactics against the playtest Omega empires, too.
For one, I could imagine the Andros wanting to displace towards a Probr force, rather than away from them; the sooner they get within the target accentuator's myopic zone, the quicker they rob their opponent of the ability to accentuate their HEAT torpedoes. Plus, even before you get there, the accuracy of the TA to lock on to its target in the first place drops as the range from the firing ship closes. Probr ships have no direct-fire heavy weapons, and HEATs cannot be bolted; so only a held standard-warhead HEAT or few would act as any sort of short-range deterrent. Against the Andromedans, it may be wise for a Probr player to arm standard HEATs during energy allocation, and save the spare Energy Points to enhance warheads at the instant of launch (but only if he's confident he can keep the Andro in the TA's operating range long enough to actually land the hit).
Not too sure about the others just yet; except perhaps for the Federal Republic calling for a similar dynamic to their distant cousins back in the Federation.
EDIT: Actually, the more I think of it, the more I wonder if it's worth gambling on the Probr surrendering the initiative so much. The range the TA operates in is not based on the launch hex, but on the operating ship itself; plus there is no firing arc to maintain the TA's effect (merely to activate it initially). So an incoming Andro may still face running the gauntlet of speed-64 accentuated torpedoes if the Probr commodore is careful enough with his maneuver, though the amount of actual damage scored would be lower than that from the standard speed-32 warheads.

Don't currently have opponents, so will let you try this one and write up a tactics for it --
Call it the Runaway Attack ---
Run the Andro like a Klingon and Sabre Dance, once you cross his bow outside of Overload Range, naturally he will turn to follow you, once he turns, displace behind him (since your facing away when you displace), when you reappear you will be in his Rear Arc and him in your Forward Arc (yes, depending on where in the game you are, he may have his HET, when you displace in the turn he may or may not have the energy) --
After firing, displace him, giving you the chance to withdraw enough to rearm weapons ---

The problem with displacing behind him is that you will be disrupted, and he won't. Drones are 360, and some ships are pretty well covered for firepower. Some Klingons won't even have to HET, they can get you with their FX or FH weapons. Once when playing Feds, I HETed into an Andro who had disdeved behind me and turned him into a smouldering wreck. TR beam range is overload range for photons.
Displacing behind him is better for opening the range than for setting up an attack, as he'll have to come about to pursue. The assumption is that you can be out of overload range before he can get you in arc. If he does HET, he'll presumably be hitting your rear panels instead of the front panels he hit with the previous volley. (Unless he has hellbores, of course)

Every tactic is dependent on what your opponent does/has done,
it's all about timing, some events have to wait a long time
before the hour is right --
The problem with displacing behind him is that you will be disrupted,
So disruption time was doubled ???

As above a lot depends on the situation.
How many disdevs do you have, ships, how many the enemy etc.
In a small game where I may just have 1 Conq or Int I'd prefer to disdev myself. Its more reliable. Using your valuable disdev on the enemy is more likely to fail. Whether I use it to attack or escape will likely depend on who I face, and how they play.
In larger multi ship games andros are probably losing anyway (they suck in fleet actions), but with more disdevs and more enemies to target I'd be more inclined to disdev the enemy. Firing 4 disdevs is much more likey to disrupt multiple of the enemy, split them up etc, leaving you to hopefully take out a ship that has little support.
Try and displace someone on impulse 8 as you fire your other weapons is a possibility as well, you might then get to shoot phasers a second time on impulse 1 next turn whilst they are disrupted (unless I'm forgetting a rule that clears disruption over a turn).
Also bear in mind that a ship that has been targeted by a disdev may have to decide whether to fire there and then, or risk being dsiplaced to a bad position and not fire at all (and maybe mauled whilst disrupted). If you are going to disdev the enemy, try and time it at a range (or position) that is currently better for you than next impulse is going to be (e.g. range 9 as you are closing head on). If he fires from that inferior range/position then you achieved some success even if the disdev itself fails.
As much as possible always try and keep 1 disdev ready to fire, the threat of a disdev, be it to escape or disrupt the enemy, is worth at least as much if not more than the actual useage. Unlike weapon fire there is no permanent effect per se, the benefit is very temporary but potent.
Keeping yourself turn fullfilled at the end of each impulse is very important as you appraoch the enemy intending to uise a disdev, it allows you to displace and turn straight away, that greatly increases the possibilities of where you can end up at the end of the follwing impulse if you displace yourself. It also enures that if you displace the enemy you are in a better position to deal with enemies who randomly displace off to more your side and may othewise then escape whilst they are disrupted.
If you think your best tactic is to displace behind him at some point, but don't want to face a HET (or the free one at any rate) then early on in the battle displace at some range to his side such that you can continue to manouver against him out of his FA even if he turns normally (presumably). If he doesn't HET then you may get to attack at close range and displace away 12 hexes nice and safe. If he does HET you can pull away and manouver back for your initial plan knowing that at least he has to take the 50/50 on a HET breakdown the next time you displace behind him.

BOWLING GREEN, Va. - The driver of a bus that crashed in Virginia killing four will serve six years in prison on four involuntary manslaughter convictions.
Prosecutor Tony Spencer says Kin Yiu Cheung was sentenced Wednesday in Caroline County Circuit Court in Bowling Green to 40 years with 34 years suspended.
The 38-year-old was convicted in November of charges stemming from the May 2011 crash on Interstate 95 about 30 miles north of Richmond.
The bus was en route from Greensboro, N.C., to New York. Witnesses described Cheung's erratic driving before the bus swerved off the road, hit an embankment and overturned.
A state trooper testified at the trial that Cheung nodded when asked whether he'd fallen asleep behind the wheel. Cheung's attorneys have called it a "horrendous accident."

2. Additionally, classes without a threat dump you may want to assign to Riplimb after Rageface dies so that they aren't building up threat on the boss which they can't get rid of later. Since this is often melee classes (DKs and Warriors) this puts even more targets for Crystal Prison Trap closer to where you are.
Prior to the Rageface dying, the only one who has any restriction to being some set distance from the boss is the main tank healer(s) because naturally they have to maintain healing range. Everyone else can be further than them or closer to the OT. Since the range between Riplimp and the boss will be somewhere between 50-60 yards, even when DPS switches to the boss, those ranged DPS with 40 yard range can would still be closer to the off tank's position.

It seems that this is intended to avoid using the strategy you have suggested.Vanish seems currently unable to drop threat on this boss, even being killed and combat ressing does not drop threat, it is not clear if this is intended mechanics or just a bug at this stage.
hi a little question what program are you all using to film ingame?
FRAPS for the actual recording. This product does have a price tag however its a one time fee with a lifetime subscription to any updates. Editing tools beyond that may vary a bit more from author to author. If you have more questions about video recording/editing I recommend searching in the Tech Central forums first to see if it's already been asked or addressed and if not posting your questions there.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
If you have an arcane mage, put him on rageface.
While Rageface is face-raging, all attacks on him will crit, and an arcane blast crit is always above 30k.
When we kill him, I (Arcane mage) just stay on rageface the entire time, while other dps is spread on riplimb and shannox. This way rageface will never face-rage for longer than it takes to cast an arcane blast. When I have gotten rageface to 35% the other two are usually at around the same hp.
PS: we do it 10man
How to Kill Shannox on 10N (tanking included)
I couldn't believe how many critical details are left out of all the various guides, videos, etc. Most of these are 25M kills which is fairly easy. 10 is significantly harder, until you realize a couple of key details.
1. Mark out 2 locations to tank Riplimb and Shannox. We used marks that were 55 yards apart (use the range finder to set these up by typing /range).
2. Have all DPS focus on rageface (who is the biggest RNG factor in 10 man).
3. Healers should stand about equidistant from the two tanks, but not on a straight line path between them. This is to prevent riplimb from running through immolation traps (which triggers a long immunity to all traps) when you're not actively trying to clear stacks.
4. The riplimb tank will need traps to use on riplimb, so set up your ranged DPS close to where riplimb is to be tanked. This should supply enough crystal traps to clear the debuff.
5. DBM will tell you when crystal traps are spawning on a player near you. Also, look carefully at the traps and you'll see a crimson animation inside them that is different from the immolation traps. Those are the crystal traps.
6. When stacks approach 6-7, it's time to clear. As soon as the ground animation for the spear throw location appears, kite riplimb into a crystal trap. If riplimb is released and it feels like it's going to be too soon, have the shannox tank kite shannox away from riplimb, delaying his return (do not allow them to become more than 60 yards apart, or they will get a massive speed and damage boost).
7. DPS should kill rageface first, then proceed to burn down riplimb to about 10%. DPS should then focus shannox down to about 33%, at which time dps should finish off riplimb, then switch back to shannox.
Don't hesitate to clear the debuff more often if your healers are having trouble. Riplimb in the trap more means lower average stacks and no riplimb damage. Tanks with higher stacks should chain cooldowns together instead of saving them, as there is no big hitting moment in the fight. If you can't figure out why riplimb won't freeze, make sure that he doesn't have the wary debuff (from standing in another trap like an immolation one).
Once you "get" this fight, it's amazing how easy it becomes.

1. Mark the first tank's spot, then set your range to 20 yards.
2. Have a player stand on the mark, move until that player is exactly 20 yards away.
3. Have the player move (or someone else) to stand where you are.
4. Move in a straight line away from the original mark until that player is 20 yards away (you're now at 40 yards away from the original mark).
Rinse and repeat until you get to 60 yards (we use 55 just to be safe with the separation anxiety buff they get). You can also do this twice with the range set to 28 yards (max range).
I dont approve of killing Rageface first, since he is quite easy to deal with, and you dont have that option on heroic, so you might aswell get use to dealing with him right away. On heroic though, Rageface is a bitch! Is there any good way to avoid getting him into immolation traps all the time? (since he is jumping around all the time, it seems that he keeps running into immolation traps). I have had a hard time testing this for myself; anyone who knows, if, when I break his face-rage, and he fixates on me, I kite him to trap... when he gets out of the trap again, will he keep staying on me?
Question about 10 man, is there any reason not to kill Riplimb right off the bat so both tanks can handle Shannox and Jagged Tear?
Because as soon as Riplimb is dead, the boss start stacking an ever increasing fire damage taken debuff on the raid each time he sticks his spear in the ground. This serves as the soft enrage mechanic of the encounter and why you want the Riplimb in particular to die as close to 30% on the boss as possible on normal mode.
Magma Rupture
Most raids are adopting the method of freezing Riplimb when the spear is thrown in order to reset the debuff stacks, this is becoming the standard approach to that particular problem.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
We have been using the approach of having one tank on Shannox and one on Riplimb until Riplimb goes down (with Shannox around 30%). The problem we face is that, in phase 2, the Riplimb tank has built up no threat on Shannox while everyone else has lots. Should the main tank die in phase 2, the Riplimb tank has no way to grab Shannox (immune to taunt) and watches helplessly while Shannox murders the DPS and leaves him for last.
Any ideas on how the Riplimb tank might be able to build a little threat throughout the course of the fight so that he could provide a "safety net" in phase 2, should the main tank be killed?
The boss should die before the main tank dies on normal difficulty. You shouldn't actually require a off tank on Shannox if executed correctly. If your tank is dying they either had too many stacks of the debuff going into the final burn, you killed Riplimp too early, not using cooldowns properly as damage from Magma Rupture ramps up, or they are taking unnecessary damage such as not backing out of the insta gib of Magma Rupture's point blank range effect. You may want to check a death log to see what is actually killing your tank. If you see things like Magma Rupture hitting for like 100k twice in under a second, they stood in the point blank range attack when the boss rams his spear into the ground right on the tanks head. There is a cast timer for this and they need to actually move out of it or they will die for sure.
If executed correctly, no one should die on the Shannox encounter. You shouldn't actually need a tank to be second in threat going into the final burn on normal difficulty.

"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
A few tips for running this on ten man with two tanks:
1) The Shannox tank can kite him when Riplimb is returning the spear to get extra time to drop the stacks.
2) I usually tank Riplimb, but did the fight once on my Holy Priest and found that the Body and Soul talent (movement speed increase for the target of your PW:S) was amazing for tanks running around trying to drop stacks.
3) When Riplimb is about to die, we move Shannox so that we can go into the last phase in an area that isn't covered in traps.
4) If you get the latest DBM, it now gives an audio warning when a trap appears under you - one less thing for your eyes to track
How does a PC gamer change a light bulb? He doesn't. He goes on the forums and QQs about it being dark.
why bother with the traps ? - if riblimb is tanked far enough aways from the tank , and kitted to the raid(away from the spear) as soon as the spear is about to land , the time he uses to get back to the spear then turn and move back to shannox the tear stack should drop of both tanks if done right , if need asign on dps to slow riblimb on his way to the tank.
have a look at this vid to see the thing in action - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QvOp1DGxrA
Because the traps can be used, and likely were intended to be used, any retuning Blizzard would do would likely continue to have this method be viable, however may result in other methods becoming unviable. I don't believe they would change it further however since as I've already mentioned, their core concern was that the Riplimb tank wasn't doing as much work as they intended for them on this encounter and since the alternate method you use still requires significant movement by the Riplimb tank it is likely an acceptable alternative in the eyes of Blizzard.
Both methods are viable today and will likely remain viable since neither completely trivializes the role of the Riplimb tank. My personal recommendation is to use the trapping method. However there are no major issues with the alternative. So long as a tactic doesn't trivialize a core mechanic or role in the encounter it will likely remain viable.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Does anyone know what happens if you kill Riplimb while Shannox does not have his spear? Does Shannox just go get the spear himself? Is it even possible? It seems like a good trick to avoid the Magma Rupture...I suspect it doesn't work though? =)
there is no change in the last phace , we tried it - rib dead , and he gets his spear back , seems like magma rupture is there to stay

Universities avoid Kindle over accessibility barriers
Three US universities have agreed not to use Amazon's e-book reader the Kindle until it is easily usable by blind people. A fourth settled a complaint from blind people's advocacy groups by saying that it will strive to use accessible devices in future. Though the Kindle DX reader can read out text, making it potentially useful …
Litigious society
So what next? Sue universities because reading books aren't accessible to blind people?
Generally books aren't combined text / braile which seems to be what is being expected of the kindle.
re: Litigious society
"So what next? Sue universities because reading books aren't accessible to blind people?"
Er, yes? The law in the UK already allows this, and the copyright laws allow blind and sight-impaired people to make, or have made for them, copies of books in alternative formats they can access with screen readers. Universities are legally required to make all their teaching resources available to all their students (or to have at least made reasonable attempts to have done so), and if that means obtaining audio copies, then so be it.
I can only boggle at the fact that the Kindle wasn't created with such users in mind from the start - blind and sight-impaired users are such an obvious target market for any device that makes the printed word accessible electronically!
I was about to say the same thing.
Surely the Americans With Disabilities people should be suing every university in the US fro using non-accessible paper-and-ink based books?
But shirley,
The blind still have the option of getting the material in brail format. The addition of another format for the sighted does not reduce the options available to to the blind. All this suit does is prevent the adoption of an additional format that some might have found convienient.
I'm off to the fox and I'm buying...
Re: Trinity
But that isn't the point here. The material IS available in any format you want. The argument was that a device for accessing some limited learning material in a particular format wasn't suitable. That material was STILL available to blind people - just not through THIS device.
The earlier - entirely valid - point was "what is the difference between a kindle DEVICE and a book?". If you separate the physical book from its content the two are identical. So why not sue because books aren't accessible?
Blind people equality
Whilst I realise many countries are way behind when it comes to assisting those unfortunate physically disabled people Canada and the U.S. are way ahead.
It is simply not a matter of being a "Litigious society" rather it is a matter of complying with the law.
Simply because you are fortunate enough to seemingly have most of your faculties does not excuse Amazon, in it's rush to be first, to omit features that would increase it's reader functions and potentially increase it's sales.
Americans are so parochial
Why do they have an "Americans with Disabilities Act"? Why not just a Disabilities Act? Or is it that Americans really just don't care about anything beyond its borders? Or do non-Americans with disabilities within its borders no count?
There are a couple of reasons for the naming of the ADA. Not least, is that us 'merkins love our TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) two-letter ones just don't cut it. ETLAs (Extended Three Letter Acronyms - AKA 4-letter) can, but they are too wordy.
Additionally, a law passed in the US does not, and legally cannot apply outside of the US ( I said legally, I guess they can illegally.. but that's a rant for a different time).
@Michael Fremlins
It's not a matter of parochialism but jurisdiction. American law really only applies within American borders unless enforced with a ratified international treaty, which this Act does not carry unless you can show otherwise. Last I checked, though, each country has its own standards for disabilities and accessibility.
No non-American's in America?
I think the concern with the name of the act is that it suggests that it only applies to those with American nationality (in the US or elsewhere), not that it only applies within US borders. The name suggests that it does not apply to non-US citizens, including overseas students studying at US universities. It seems odd for legislation on discrimination to discriminate in this way.
This was a trial. Wasn't the fact that it wasn't suitable for blind people one of the things that would have come out of the trial? No need for lawsuits...
Better yet, let's not try anything new, as we might get sued.
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
On the face of it, it does seem a major up-f**k of Amazon's not to have included audio menus from the start. Especially given the device already has an audio capability.
Making things accessible does NOT mean massive changes to products. The UK's Disability Discrimination Act makes it clear that "reasonable" efforts should be made to provide a level playing field. The DDA does not state everything should be accessible to everyone regardless of cost / effort / feasibility / etc
Accessibility should *always* be designed-in from the start. In any case it's much cheaper that way than re-engineering something later to comply with the law.
so how long
until a similar action is taken in the UK?
and why are cellphones not enhanced for the blind while they're at it? After all, the old rotary dial was easier to use (in the dark, in a smoke filled room etc) than a modern qwerty ot T20 phone... and a visual only caller ID is discriminatory
As someone who spends a lot of my working day on closed caption enabling online content I actually care about this quite a lot... but frankly litigation is not the answer - education is
I hope
I hope they are also not using audio devices in their music classes because deaf people can't hear them.
whatever next....
I suppose the yanks will next ban ipods since headphones are no use to deaf people !
That's it - I've had enough
I'm finally motivated to get off my backside and post a comment.
So... just because some people won't be able to use something, this means that no-one else should be able to use it?
I'm all for equal opportunities etc. (honest), but this is mad, mad mad.
Some here are missing the point. From the original article
"That Act prohibits discrimination against people on the basis of their disability and applies to public bodies and all post-secondary educational institutions whether public or private."
Still, as NASA is a public body I'm looking forward to the first deaf dumb and blind Shuttle pilot.
In reverse.....
So as a deaf person ..... I object to an audio book on an MP3 player because the MP3 player doesn't allow me to read it!
How do we cope with books on PAPER..... do the publishers have to make an audio version available of all books. Perhaps we can have audio bomb making manuals for blind terrorists (Note - this is irony).
And what about my printer? Should it be made accessible to the blind?

If you're still stuck for festive party outfits, then this here best dressed gallery is the perfect inspiration. This weekend's red carpets were awash with fabulous gowns and as well as Christmas inspiration, the stars gave us a preview of what we'll be wearing this spring. Yep, it seems everrrryone has been stepping out in Spring Summer 2013 creations.
Take Allison Williams (better known as Marnie in Girls) as example. She's quickly becoming our new style crush and she looked typically ah-mazing in a Spring 2013 L'Wren Scott black and red zig zag sequined dress. Speaking of style crushes, Elle Fanning looked oh-so pretty in a pink Spring 2013 Oscar de la Renta dress, which she wore with a delicate ballerina bun to the British Independent Movie Awards. We're mighty impressed with how she can so easily go from edgy in a mannish suit to princess perfection in a full-on ballgown.
On the other side of the world it was the 'Life of Pi' opening gala screening in Dubai, where Cate Blanchett looked stunning in a dusty blue Rodarte Spring 2013 gown. Freida Pinto also sparkled at the screening in a gold Ralph Lauren collection gown with detailed neckline.
Rihanna and Cheryl Cole both opted for Balmain this weekend, as Rihanna rocked a Spring 2013 cropped halter and leather pants by the French brand when she appeared on a German TV show. We LOVE her Chanel gold belt and Manolo Blahnik heels she paired with the look. Cheryl went for a plunging Balmain tux for the Jingle Bell Ball - it was tight and revealing but also rather androgynous, also helped by Cheryl's bouncy blow dry scraped back. Now we're on the topic of plunging necklines... the most daring look of the weekend HAS to be Andrea Riseborough who wore a cleavage baring gown to the British Independent Movie Awards. Do you love it or hate it?
Look through the gallery above to see the top 10 looks of the weekend and let us know your verdict.

AP Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Soon after taking the stage, Marc Maron decides to skip the act.
He's got a packed room at a downtown New York club, all eager to see the 49-year-old comic tape what will be a comedy special for Netflix. Normally, such tapings are carefully structured and finely calibrated. Maron promptly decides against it.
"No, let's not," he says. "Let's just work through some stuff."
Working through stuff is the modus operandi for Maron. Though he started out as a stand-up known for bitterness and anger, Maron -- after a lot of struggle and a bout with drugs -- began funneling all of his anxieties, frustrations and demons into his comedy. For him, working through "stuff" with a microphone is a way of life.
His new book, "Attempting Normal," is dedicated to "anyone who is successfully defying their wiring." He once concluded a speech at the Just for Laughs comedy festival with the summation: "There are a few things more important than comedy, but they aren't funny."
Bitterness and anger certainly haven't left the building, but Maron's issues -- those inherited from a manic-depressive father and a weight-obsessed mother, and accrued from jealousy-filled years of show business -- are entirely in the open. In an entertainment world full of seemingly flawless, confident performers, Maron's naked insecurities have made him a hero for the imperfect.
"The only time I tend to get frightened is if I get away from stand-up for more than a week or two," Maron said in an interview in early April over a plate of bacon. "I realized I hadn't been on stage in two weeks and I was like: 'Oh my God! It's a lie! I'm not funny! What am I doing?' All these weird fears started coming back. And then I went up and did like an hour and a half and I was like, 'All right. I know who I am again.'"
During the taping, Maron gestured to a notebook on the floor full of illegible scribbles, explaining: "This is the system that's kept me out of the big time for 20 years."
But after more than two decades in comedy -- and watching contemporaries like Louis C.K. and Jon Stewart ascend in the industry -- Maron is finally having a well-deserved moment. Along with the Netflix special and book out this week from Random House, his IFC series, "Maron," premieres Friday.
And it's all because, at a moment when he was out of other options -- lacking work, on his second divorce and giving suicide some thought -- he decided to buy a microphone and try a new medium in its infancy: podcasting. On his show, he would comically spill his neuroses while having deeply personal, hour-long conversations with fellow comedians. After sitting for a recent episode, Hank Azaria wondered if Maron "gives out truth drugs."
"I needed to talk to people on a personal level -- kind of re-engaging my ability to listen and laugh and connect with somebody else in an open-hearted way," he says. "I'd lost all that. I'd become very cynical and closed off. It was all synced up: My need to integrate myself into the community and be among peers and to literally hear how other people deal with their problems."
The podcast, "WTF With Marc Maron," has long been one of the most popular on iTunes, with about 2.5 million downloads monthly. Now past 380 episodes, he's attracted nearly everyone in comedy, from Robin Williams and Mel Brooks to Conan O'Brien and Ben Stiller. The show, famously recorded in the garage of his Los Angeles home, is a kind of twice-weekly hearth for the comedy world where the candid conversations are centered more on life's pains than on comedy. Maron can be both combative and apologetic -- often at the same time.
He's arguably the best, most honest interviewer in media right now. His recordings -- like an Alan Lomax collection of the comedy world -- were recently added to the Library of Congress.
"No one does this anymore," says Maron. "We live in a self-involved, careerist society of people just trying to appear like they have their s--- together. I think the attitude is 'Look, I'm doing what I'm doing so I can't focus on your s--- right now. So text me.' But we're all equipped to deal with this stuff. It's really what makes human beings interested. It's what we're supposed to be doing, connecting like this."
To see Maron on stage is to witness him at his most comfortable, driven almost compulsively by a need to connect with an audience. The comic Andy Kindler once called him "an empathetic savant."

There's probably not a large data pool for this ring yet due to the amount of rep needed. Hopefully as we move further along there will be more data to compare. However the initial findings you present do raise concern.
So a friend of mine got himself the exalted ashen verdict ring (by spending far too much time farming rep). We've been looking over the proc rate and uptime of this:
Equip: When struck in combat has a chance of increasing your armor by 2400 for 10 sec.
I'm curious what other tanks are seeing with this ring. Because what I'm seeing is pretty bad... From kills in ICC, ToGC, and ToC, the ring appears to have between a 2% and 10% uptime (pulled directly from our WoL parses). Only 1 or 2 procs for entire encounters basically.
I'm reasonably certain the log site isn't bugged, my friend has confirmed that the ring procs very rarely, from watching for procs directly in game.
If this is normal for the ring, and he's not just highly unlucky, I have to question if the ring is bugged. A single proc for a 5 minute encounter is very nearly useless and I don't see why blizz would make it slow low intentionally. By comparison the similar Hyjal rep ring proc'd plenty often, easily once a minute, if not more.
What do you all think?

There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
They may raise concern, but I wouldn't be too worried about it. The ring is still a very solid piece, even without the proc. Even if it procs rarely, the proc is just icing on the cake.
I got revered version of that ring and todays raids show 3-11% uptime for that, but there isnt any fight in icc that where you would be getting constantly hit so its hard to figure the real proc rate just yet.
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis
22minutes 26 seconds of autoattacking thrym in zuldrak, with a few judgement of lights thrown in to stay alive
ring procced FOUR times,,, something seems really really broken to me
4 procs in 22minutes
Cleared 4 bosses tonight, 1,9% uptime.
I start thinking even exalted version of the ring is piece of shit: proc is awful, other stats aren't bad, but we can find almost equal stats in 264lvl rings from trash and normal mode bosses.
Band of the Twin Val'kyr - Item - World of Warcraft
Only 10 less stamina, but has 532 STATIC armor, no hit, and slightly lower avoidance values. I would use this over the iLevel 277 (exalted) ring and definitely over the revered.
Devium's Eternally Cold Ring - Items - Sigrie is even better imo, I'd use that or the heroic version (or both) if I could.

55 minutes of getting hit ~7x per second in Stockades in this log. Note that this was getting hit 7x per second. I was getting attacked a bit more, but they missed a lot.
Results show a clear 60-second ICD and an abysmally low proc rate. With ~7 hits incoming per second the average time between ICD and proc was over 4 seconds, meaning the 3% listed on Wowhead is probably accurate and maybe even a bit high.
In short, the ring is nice if you want hit but the proc is absolutely terrible. If it had the low proc rate with no ICD or the ICD with a high proc rate, it would be good, but combining the two makes for an uptime of 5% or less for a standard boss with a 2-second swing timer and a tank with ~40% avoidance (like in ICC).
Hopefully Blizzard ups the proc rate or removes the ICD to make the proc actually useful.

I have been working myself into positions to farm more rep aside from normal planned raid gains, but the proc rate is very low, as you have pointed out the twins mier 10man hardmode ring is a more stable option which in my eyes compared with a 277 item is abit of a let down. And not to forget the damned hit rating on nearly every dam tanking piece.
Given that this is a ring you can get without killing a single boss (if you have the patience) and certainly without doing any hard modes, just what were you expecting? Best in slot?
The stats are not bad, and the ring will serve as a useful piece in a balanced or threat set. Probably not in your Max EH set. I think the proc is just supposed to be icing on the cake, some 'cool factor', not the core feature of the ring. If you end up never using the ring for tanking, you can convert it into a DPS one for offspec.
Hmm... forgot that this ring doesn't have any armor on it. That does make it less desirable, although it's still a good ring to have on hand while you wait for others to drop... especially since RNG can be rough sometimes.
I'm wondering if the ICD is an error, as a lot of items with procs that don't have an ICD usually have a ~2% proc rate.

Before ICC I used
Band of the Twin Val'kyr - Item - World of Warcraft
Clutch of Fortification - Item - World of Warcraft (Since we have yet to kill anub hero 25) - Currently replaced the Clutch with the new rep ring.
However I am wondering if the armor on the Clutch would make it a better EH item than the anub hero ring and more relevant to this discussion better than the Rep Ring (due to the static armor).
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
Just a question in regards to the proc, is it stackable with black heart procs giving essentially a 10K armor boost on a double proc? Or is the ICD so absurdly low that it wouldn't even be worth hoping for the rng luck?
I think you would have to be dam lucky to get it proc'ing at the same time.
Clutch is definitely better than the Friendly ring for EH. Looks to me like its even better than the Revered ring. Only the socket in Exalted finally pushes it over Clutch for EH (though this is from eye-balling it, not number crunching).However I am wondering if the armor on the Clutch would make it a better EH item than the anub hero ring and more relevant to this discussion better than the Rep Ring (due to the static armor).
Don't forget the trash mobs ring with its 124 Stam + yellow socket and 60 Def/60 Dodge/38 Hit.
IMO, it is way better than the Ashen one.
It dropped yesterday as we were farming trash-mobs before the 1st boss... in ICC 10 ... Woot... I guess it's a bug that ilvl 264 item drops from Trash in ICC 10 ...
I've been told by my huntard friend that the dps rings proc is reliable and constant with what might seem like a 45sec ICD... I dont have access to that ring so I can't confirm those numbers.
It does seem little bit off that ~1.5% damage reduction from the gained armour would have been so unreliable.
And I do agree with the insane amount of hit on every other tanking piece the 264trash tank ring seems like a better choice (less hit), over the rep one.
If the rep ring is a filler, that you get after two weeks (a nice 251 if you dont have 10ToGC or 25Toc cleared) and then replace?... It would take hours (17+ maybe much more) of farming and weeks if not months of regular raiding to get to exalted and the proc and socket combo... if the proc is not "awesome" ... well I do agree it should be BiS and if not, at least a second best... I miss my Hyjal ring (I will be sad if this ring will be a Kara type ring)

WHERE: Garden of Eat'n Café & Food Fare, 6293 Quinpool Road, Halifax
WHEN: 7:00 pm -9:30 pm, Tuesday, January 28th
Sierra Club Canada's Ontario Chapter was instrumental in the decision by our provincial government to shut down all coal plants. The day has come! Toronto environmental lawyer Dianne Saxe has a nice piece on her website about it:
by DIANNE SAXE on JANUARY 15, 2014
January 8 marked the last day of operation of the Nanticoke Generating Station, the last operating coal-fired electrical generating facility in southern Ontario. This latest shut down will help mark 2014 as the year Ontario will become a coal-free jurisdiction.
Halifax, NS – Sierra Club Atlantic welcomes the ban of the import of dangerous fracking waste announced today in Nova Scotia. Last spring, Sierra Club launched a petition calling for the ban, and the NS Liberal Party promised to ban the import of fracking waste in the lead up to the provincial election last September.
"This is a relief for Nova Scotians and Nova Scotian municipalities who feared that we were going to be tasked with dealing with toxic fracking waste in the region," according to Gretchen Fitzgerald, Director of Sierra Club Atlantic, "I am thrilled to see the leadership in this province demonstrate they are taking the threat represented by toxic fracking waste seriously."
Southwestern Energy (SWN) Resources is suing New Brunswick citizens attempting to protect their land, air, and water from the impacts of fracking by protesting seismic testing. In addition to naming 13 individuals, SWN named "Jane Doe" and "John Doe" as being responsible for costs they are claiming are caused by protestors. This Wednesday in Moncton, Jane Doe will speak out in response to SWN's suit.
WHAT: Press Conference: Jane Doe Makes Her Case
WHEN: 11:00 a.m – 12 noon, Wednesday, Dec. 4
Dr John Cherry, a hydrogeologist with the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), says fracking wells in Canada aren't built for the long haul; they tend to spring leaks.
"In my view, well integrity is likely the most important shale gas issue," said Dr Cherry in Toronto, Thursday, May 29. Dr Cherry chaired the CCA's expert panel on understanding the environmental impacts of shale gas extraction (fracking). This panel released its report in early May.

Saturday Nov. 16 a group of volunteers in Peel brought a strong message to local MP's in Brampton. We participated in a "Bike for the Climate" event, riding the Etobicoke Creek Trail from MP Parm Gill's office to MP Kyle Seeback's office. We carried signs with the message that we don't want dirty tar sands or leaky pipelines running through our communities. We invited both MPs to participate but they didn't respond to our invitation.
Our group was one of 130 groups across Canada that formed a united wall of opposition to dangerous pipelines and reckless expansion of the tar sands. We want our government to Defend our Climate, and Defend our Communities. Click here to see photos of the action across the country.
See an electric vehicle next to you on the road and you might not distinguish it from any other gas guzzler confronting rush hour traffic. But drive one yourself...and you won't soon shake the experience.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered entirely by their onboard batteries and therefore have no tailpipe. No combustion engine vibrates under their hood and no gears need shifted, giving these machines an unrivalled smoothness. When faced with stop signs, red lights or drive-thrus, EVs don't expend their power idling - they are incapable of idling.
But for all their blessings, EVs have their drawbacks. Their batteries have limited range, they can't be fuelled at the pump and for the time being, they cost more than your average gasoline vehicle. However, professor of mechanical engineering at Dalhousie University, Lukas Swan, said these drawbacks are being left in the dust.

Polls — when measuring is manipulating
We may believe that polls tell us what [people] are thinking. But polls also gauge the effectiveness of media spin — and contribute to it. Opinion polls don't just measure; they also manipulate, helping to shape thoughts and tilting our perceptions of how most people think.

Abundances in humans
The values here are estimates adapted from references 1-6 by taking a consensus or averaging where appropriate. For ease of comparison with other abundance values, all abundance data in WebElements have been scaled to parts per billion (ppb), both as ppb by weight and by number of atoms. Values for less common elements should be treated with some caution and none of the data is better than one or sometimes two significant figures. Values for any individual human will depend very much upon that individual's local environment. For instance, if you live near a major road in a country where leaded fuel is still sold, you are likely to have more lead in you than the average.
ppb by atoms
The units used in WebElements for all abundance data are ppb by weight which means parts per billion by weight, that is mg tonne-3 or mg per 1000 kg. All abundance data are also presented as ppb by atoms, which means atoms of the element per billion atoms.
The reason for rescaling all data is as follows. It is common to see, say, solar abundances expressed as the number of atoms of the element relative to a scale upon which the abundance of hydrogen is defined as 1012. This makes comparison with, say, crustal abundances difficult, since crustal abundances are often expressed in terms of parts per million by weight. Hence a common scale is used throughout and I chose ppb as this gives manageable numbers for most elements.
