LG Electronics is bringing Vudu video-on-demand (VOD) to its NetCast HDTVs beginning in August 2009.
Vudu movies will be available on LG's LH50 1080p LCDs, which already offer Netflix streaming, and PS80 plasmas. Existing owners of those TVs will also be able to stream Vudu movies.
Users will be able to buy or rent HD and HDX movies on an interface that is promising no delays or slow buffering. There's also instant fast forward, rewind and instant start, and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound.
Vizio, which has no monthly fees, seems to be popping up everywhere lately. Not only was Vudu recently added to Vizio's Connected HDTVs, the company now also:
LG plans to roll out Vudu streaming on future Broadband HDTV models. And with LG streaming Netflix on its BD300 Blu-ray Player, it only seems logical for Vudu streaming to be added to Blu-ray players as well.
This LG and Vudu partnership is just one of the latest reasons consumers are adopting connected TVs. Streaming options abound, and there are only more to come. In recent weeks, Sony added Netflix streaming to its BRAVIA connected TVs, while Samsung added BlockBuster OnDemand to its HDTVs.

1985 Toro Albala Don Pedro Ximenez Gran Reserva
"With its chocolate-brown color, this PX is full of prune, fig and moderate volatility. It's heavy, sticky and syrupy on the tongue, with fig, dried date, salt and caramel flavors. The finish rings of ripeness, but overall this is more sweet and rich than distinct and complex."

URC, a company known for its remote controls, will soon roll out the finishing touches of its whole-house home control system, called Total Control, with new features to control lights, thermostats and see the energy consumption of a home.
Total Control was officially launched last year, but mostly as a multizone audio system controller operated by wand-style remotes. The system connects over Category 5 Ethernet wire with Power over Ethernet (POE). And what the system has lacked has been a large enough graphical user interface to really control lighting, thermostats and see metadata like cover art for URC's SNP-1 network streaming player.
That's going to change in the next couple of months, according to the company. The new TKP-2000 in-wall keypad with a 3.5-inch touchscreen and six backlit hard buttons will be formally launched in the second quarter to easily control lights, a thermostat and see metadata.
URC has also been working on two-way control modules that will make interaction between other devices and the keypad possible. An energy monitoring function, for example, will be available at no charge and works with The Energy Detective (TED) energy measuring device that is installed at the electrical service entrance. (You'll have to pay for the TED device.) URC network series remotes KP-4000, MX-5000 and MX-6000 have worked with the TED 5000 energy monitor for a while.
Russ Hoffman, URC's education and content development manager, says, "The people that actually did energy management [with the remotes] love it," but the awareness that people can do this still remains low.
URC's Total Home system will access data from the TED over Wi-Fi and offer more user-friendly charts and graphs.
The lighting module, allowing an interface with Lutron's wireless RadioRA 2 lighting control system, is about three weeks to a month away, Hoffman says. Climate control with URC's own thermostat will follow, as will apps for iPad, iPhone and Android-based devices.

Classes and Education
Feldenkrais - 10 Week Class
The internationally acclaimed Feldenkrais Method improves coordination, mobility, and posture so you function and move more comfortably and have a greater sense of awareness and vitality. A deep understanding of physics, biomechanics, human development and the Japanese martial arts inspired the development of Feldenkrais.
In this class, Kaz Shibao, will guide you through a series of precisely structured movements to teach you how to relax and abandon habitual patterns. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy motions that gradually increase in range and complexity to reeducate your nervous system. Through these subtle movements you learn new patterns that can relieve pain and muscular tension, improve flexibility and posture, and reduce stress. Feldenkrais benefits everyone, including those experiencing chronic pain and seniors who want to move more effortlessly. After these lessons you often feel taller and lighter, breathe more freely and experience deep relaxation. For more information: http://www.cpmc.org/services/ihh/classes/feldenkrais.html

I love this guitar. It's a beautiful piece of art that looks really good on my wall (I use wall hangers for my guitars).
When I first got it and played some higher notes on the lower strings, there was this kinda annoying buzz from the inside of the guitar but this only sometimes happens if the pre-amp has a battery in it (it doesn't always happen and you get used to it). I guess I just got a faulty model but I'm fine with it because the rest of the guitar is pure perfectness :)
Overall, legendary guitar that's worth more than it's being sold for because it's beautiful and is a fender. Also, I changed the strings to some martin phosphor bronze custom light and it sounds way better :)
This guitar is simply amazing. it's sound is unbelievable and it's near classical guitar sound and has its acoustic sound soul too and has a wide range of volume when its unplugged or plugged. if you are a PRO acoustic guitar player it is what you have to play with even if you have Upper models of martin or takamine. its FISHMAN system is great too and you can get a very warm sound from your Acoustic amp with its active-pickups and you can get your sound gain-ny without stress :D i recorded with this guitar and discovered this guitar made for it.
buy it and be graceless.

I have had this guitar for about 4 years..I use it as my everyday gig guitar. It's just amazing how she's though and durable. That's the best with laminate guitars, they're though as diamond, no scratches or any kind of damages..and even better is that all-satin finish that absorbs almost any thin damage and gives you a great feel on touch. Very good play-ability, rosewood fingerboard is perfect, action is also very nice set, the only bad thing with it is that you have to clean it often and give some fingerboard conditioner treats. Sound is balanced so you can play whatever u want, is that country or rock or something else, it's just a perfect adaptable instrument. It favors high-end and gives u very clear and sustained treble and there's a great balance between bass and treble, thanks to mahogany which is the best tone-wood for me cause it's so versatile. Almost all my acoustics has mahogany as back and sides (from 140 to Pro Custom dreadnoughts), the only bad thing with CD-100 sound is all laminate body and satin finish which combined give a little bit closer sound than solid top, back and sides guitars. But the fact that I would never use my solid-wood guitars anytime, anywhere cause they are so fragile gives CD-100 great advantage. It's though, great looking, has great on touch feel, it's durable, versatile, has fair amp with on-board chromatic tuner which is very useful, can go anywhere, can be played anywhere, sounds very good for laminate guitar and even better when you plug it in. One of my favorites. If you need real 'working' guitar, I highly recommend pick this one, You won't regret. Cheers..

Bought this guitar yesterday and its simply amazing, both tone and quality of finish is amazing. The matte finish also adds as a key feature to give the right feel while playing it. The attached tuner is also really helpful. I am hoping to maintain this guitar as long as I can !!
Bought it a week back and I had played it at the shop before buying it and was very satisified with what I was about to buy.
I have recorded with this guitar and it has amazing Mid tones, It rings the right amount and has just the right bass.
Again I will mention the tone is just awesome.
This will be my go to guitar for a long long time,

The world's most popular tube amps just got better! Fender® Hot Rod series amplifiers are found on every stage in the world, large and small, and are used by guitarists from all walks of life. Hot Rod amps deliver unmistakable Fender tone and are the perfect platform for musicians to craft their own signature sound. These no-frills amps are affordable, reliable and loud, and they pair extremely well with stomp boxes. The Blues Junior™ III is a 15-watt warm-toned, longtime favorite - the perfect grab-and-go tube amp for stage and studio. It is known for the fat mid tones characteristic of EL-84 output tubes, warm 12AX7 preamp tube overdrive, real spring reverb, simple control layout, footswitchable FAT boost and external speaker capability. Additional Blues Junior III upgrades include an easier-to-read black control panel with front-reading text, new badge, vintage Fender "dog bone" handle, vintage-size jewel light, "sparkle" circuit mod, rattle-reducing shock absorbers for the EL84 tubes, highly sensitive Fender Special Design 12" "lightning bolt" speaker by Eminence®, and heavy-duty set-screw "chicken head" knobs.

I recently bought a Fender Blues Junior III as my MAIN amplifier to complete the upgrade of my entire rig. I absolutely love it because it has met all my criteria; a 15 watts tube amp with reverb effects that is easy for me to carry. I even bought a black vinyl cover to protect this investment in my lifelong musical journey. Perhaps the best part about the Blues Junior III ... These go to TWELVE.
Baby_ItstheBLUES owns this item
Hi everyone, i suggets this amplifier if you need a great amp to practice at home or if you want to begin with a serious thing. This amp is cheap for its sound quality. One more time, there is a great fender tone with their famous spring reverb but this isn't the quality of big Hot Rod amplifier. I would compare the quality of its sound with a 65' princeton reverb or a 65' reverb amp but with a more dynamic tone.
I played it with Fender 65' vintage Stratocaster, Gibson Es-335 and Hofner Verythin Standard.
The volume is actually your gain knob. From 0 to 4, absolutely clean. 4 to 10, light crunchy sound and 10 is the step where a great overdrive sound come. The EQ is very accurate , you really can adjust it for studio recording session.The Fat switch boosts your mid and give all the punch you need. It puts more gain and sustain and increase your volume (if you need it on stage).This is a great feature if you want to play rhythm rock guitar. Really nice tone with it. The master is simply the output volume (can go loud with full gain and fat switch on). The spring reverb is intense after 5.
For blues, rock, alternative, even country and jazz (by using the EQ).
Very easy to use, no standby switch. I recommend to start playing 2 minutes after turning it on for the tubes. After playing, when you switch it off, wait before it gets colder (again for the tubes). Don't move it around.
Not very loud and easy to carry.
You should absolutely buy it or test it in store if you seriously want to start playing guitar or if you have a poor amp and you don't have a big budget.
The loudness is fine for stage playing, home practicing and studio recording.
Not for metal or hard rock, this really is not the great tone for this music.
You need to use distortion pedal for mid-range gain tone.
I really suggest it and have fun with it!
stratman27 owns this item
My first tube amp and it is a great one.
The only thing that is getting on my nerves is that when you buy a product and brand such as Fender you expect great sound (which I got) and great quality which is lacking in this case.
I still recommend strongly, purchase of this amp because of its sweet sound.
If you want to play metal on it forget about it, but for Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country and anything in between go ahead and you will be blown away.
Lukoviti1983 owns this item
I bought this amp because I wanted something portable, as in backseat, to haul to practice and church. Not only does it travel easy, it's turned out to be a great small venue amp with tone that kicks much more expensive amps right in the nads! This amp has massive tone and more than enough headroom to play on stage. If this amp isn't loud enough, your band needs to turn WAY down. Fat tone, small footprint, huge sound! I still use an amp with 2 12s for larger gigs, but this is a real beast! I absolutely love it!
alanstephehnson owns this item
I've owned mine for 6 years. LOVE IT!
It has an unbelievable TONE!
Crisp and clear like a Fender should be able to sound, but you can get a bit of growl out of it too when you crank it up.
NOT Heavy Metal Distortion, buy a pedal for that, but a good bit of that over-driven tube sound. Amazing from such a small Amp. It sounds WAY BIGGER than it is.
This Amp handles pedals with ease also. My "toys" sound great through it.
It's compact, but it is a lot more than just a practice Amp.
Though it's PERFECT for that.
Great first Amp for beginners because it doesn't "limit" you.
Also a great working Amp for playing out.
More than holds it's own when the band plays the garage.
My Peavey, and other solid state, playing friends are jealous as hell.
Works great for smaller venues when playing out.
You can get a great sound at lower volumes than you can with a 100w tube amp.
My only 2 complaints would be
1: Reverb is is a bit cheesy. BUT....... In an Amp this size your working a smaller spring so you shouldn't expect it to sound like a Twin. I don't use much Reverb anyway, so to me it doesn't matter. If you're going to play nothing but surf music, and Dick Dale licks, it won't be for you.
2: Suggested retail price is a bit high. But you should be able to find one for a couple hundred less. Try Guitar Center.
I am very , very, happy with it and would buy one again.
Highly recommended.

This is my first experience with a lower wattage amp and I could not be happier with the sound and simplicity. I have a pretty extensive pedal board and do not need any extra bells and whistles on my amplifier. I brought my limited edition Silver Bullet to band practice and the guys could not believe it was only 15 watts. It has that classic Fender "sound"; and was more than loud enough to make its presence known amongst a drummer, rhythm guitar and a SVT playing bass player. My main amp is an American made 1994 2X12 Blues Deville, and this little Silver Bullet hangs right in there with it. The only issue I had was that it had bad preamp tubes installed at the factory. I don't know if this is the luck of the draw or poor quality control practices. Regardless, it crapped out on me after an hour and a half at band practice. Luckily, I took it back to Alpha Music in Virginia Beach, where I bought it, and they troubleshot and fixed it within an hour. Great Amp, loud, Clear and Fat!!!. In my opinion, you cannot compete with Fender Amplification. I opened up for Blackfoot a few years ago, and they had a bunch of Marshall stacks on stage. My 2x12 Blues Deville absolutely blew those Marshalls away....There was no comparison in tone, and that's what it's all about...TONE!!!.

I own a blues deluxe reissue. I was looking for a smaller, easier-to-carry amp for practice and smaller gigs. This one takes the cake. I can practice at home at lower volumes, and when playing in smaller rooms it takes up less space, and weighs less.
The sound is great! I get that beautiful clean sound at lower volume, and with the fat button, I can get some great distortion. Very happy with both of my fender amps
phreddybee owns this item
I love this amp...it is extremely quiet when not playing and turned up...the gain volume will tune in any amount of overdrive and when gain is set for clean it is pristine...and the reverb is wide ranged...this is perhaps my favorite and most versatile fender amp I've ever owned...it's just so "clean" and it is so "overdrive and in the middle of it all..."Great Warm Tone"....
I've always been a huge fender man but honestly, this one rated highest of any and I'm still surprised how "rich" it always sounds and the wonderful controllable harmonic feedback, ect...
Just a really Great Amp!!!

I bought this because I could no longer cart around my Boogie Mk3. At age 60 I don't want to be regularly picking up a 64lb combo, however good it sounds!
The Blues Junior is remarkable - not only does it produce the classic Fender tone (particularly the rhythm sound when using my US Standard Strat), but also it is loud enough to use at most of our gigs, which tend to be small to medium sized venues.
For lead work, for the sort of blues based stuff we do, it produces a warm tone, with sufficient sustain. Adjustment of the appropriate controls will allow it to overdrive very nicely, if that is your thing!
There is really nothing this amp lacks - a standby switch is not exactly essential, and an "overdrive" or lead channel is simply not necessary, because you are likely to be using the volume at the higher end of the scale (7-8) for most gigs.
If, like me, you prefer to put your guitar straight into the amp, with no pedals or gizmos to mess up the sound, I think you will be absolutely delighted with the Blues Junior. Forget the 15watt tag - this amp holds it own with the Boogie Mk3 the other guitarist in my band uses (ok, we are not incredibly loud) and drums, bass, keyboards and a noisy vocalist! I also don't have any more backache after a gig, because this is not much more than half the weight of the Boogie!
this blues junior has been best amp in amp history
My opinion is that this amp has been the best all round amp for anybody
Long live Blues Junior
rockon101 owns this item
I bought this amp second-hand and was totally blown away. Even if I had bought it full price I still would have been impressed by the value. I believe this amp is the benchmark for tube amps. It delivers crazy-nice clean tones at low volume, crunches over nicely when cranked up and can go pretty mental when properly full-blast. Perfect for Blues/Blues-Rock/Jazz. The reverb is really nice too. It's a shame they don't include the FAT switch but still... It's not light weight but for what it is, it's not gonna get much lighter anywhere else. The only reason I upgraded to a Hot Rod Deluxe is because it just didn't have enough headroom to cut above the drums at practice and stay clean at the same time. I still have it at home though.

I've been playing my Les Paul Studio through my Blues Jr III amp for about 6 months now. I mostly play at low volumes in the house and it sounds great. I have had it out to my friend's garage a couple of times and it held its own, cranked it up there and still got great sound. It's pretty light for a tube amp so it travels well, doesn't take up a lot of space in my bedroom so I can leave it out and use it whenever the mood hits me. It takes pedals well (as long as you buy decent ones - I'm not impressed with Danelectro Fab pedals in bypass mode but my Boss ones are great). I only have one knock against this amp, why didn't Fender put a stand-by switch on it??? I'd definitley recommend it to anyone who is looking for that warm tube sound and doesn't want to break the bank.
This has to be one of the best Fender amp platforms, putting solid and reliable tube tune into an affordable package. The fifteen tube watts through the twelve inch speaker are louder than you would think, and yet I usually play mine in the house at very low volume these days and I still really enjoy the tone. I like to use a little bit of overdrive pedal along with a compressor, and then dial in some of the amp's own reverb. I think mine is the version before the present one, but I've played several of the current models, and feel that my impression of the amp is still valid. Before I bought mine I read some reviews that were a bit down on the reverb, but I actually like the reverb sound I'm getting, and when I want something a little different I use a reverb pedal. The combination of a Telecaster or a Strat and this amp gets a very nice, clear, biting and very 'Fender' tone: it's identifiable and in a certain category, but it covers more sonic ground than you might think. You can get some very liquid, "tubier" tones with a little bit of adjustment. Also seems to be pretty tough for a tube amp.
I've also been really impressed with all the variations on this platform, with different speakers and cosmetics.
This is certainly one of my favorite amps, and truly excellent value for the dollar.
Ejh owns this item
I have the Blues Jr. NOS reissue of 2012, and if you can still find one - get it. The Jensen speaker makes a huge difference. Beautiful clean tones can be turned into snarling overdrive with a simple turn of the pre-amp volume knob. I play a Strat, Tele, and an LP through this amp and all sound fantastic. The 15 watts are more than enough for practice, a small club, and can be easily miked for a larger venue. The only negative I have experienced is when use an effects pedal it shuts down the reverb. All is well however when I disconnect the effect and restart the amp. This probably could be corrected with an effects loop.
rsc1911 owns this item
I own a stock Blues Junior amp that I have had for a couple of years. I play an American Standard Telecaster through it almost every day in my modest home studio. The amp sounds great and I get compliments on the tone all the time when I have buddies over to jam. It starts to break up nicely just past mid volume and is easily controlled with the volume knob on my Tele and by varying my pick attack. It accepts pedals well and is plenty loud for my studio or when out practicing with friends. It travels well and is light and rugged. I think it lacks clean headroom to be a serious gigging amp for medium to large venues but could probably be miked successfully. I play mostly blues and classic rock at home and with friends in a garage band and for that, this amp is hard to beat. If I could only have one amp however, I would probably look for a Fender tube amp around 30 watts with two channels and an effects loop with level control. They exist but are a few hundred dollars more than the Blues Jr. If you are looking for a medium to low wattage amp with great all tube tone for small venues that is built well at a reasonable price, look no further. I have played every one I could find in this category and price point. No one came close to Fender.

My Blues Junior is about 7 years old and I just bought it in January 2013. My first experience with a tube amp as this replaced a Mustang II modeling amp. This amplifier has very few bells and whitsles so it is up to the player to coax your particular sound. You or a pedal can provide almost any effect you desire. A tube amp is the way to go if you really want to express yourself with a true electric guitar sound.
Awesome little amp, I use it as a clean base to run pedals through but the built in dirt is good too. Light, very portable and easy on the wallet.
Anytime I know i am going to be miked, this is the amp I bring with me.
monty owns this item
Great amp. Fairly portable. Versatile tone and range. Ideal for home or gigging with friends.
butchwr owns this item
For a small amp this one is so so sweet, the more you play it the better it sounds. I play a low volume most of the time at home. I like slow blues and this is one of the best fits for me. You can't go wrong with the Blues Jr tone & the reverb is sweet.
billyd2000 owns this item
I have the limited edition version of this amp with the Eminence Cannabis Rex speaker and red tolex and think it's fantastic! I mainly use the amp for home practice and small gigs and it is yet to disappoint sounding great at all volumes, I mainly play classic rock/blues based things like Hendrix, Stevie Ray, John Mayer but also use the amp for some surf style stuff with my band. In terms of tone, this is bang on the Fender clean sound that you would expect, not as loud and bright as anything like a Twin Reverb or a Hot rod deluxe due to the the low wattage (and possibly Eminence speaker). The blues junior has no where near as much gain as anything I've owned previously from Marshall, Vox or Orange but i really like that, at full whack you get a nice crunch that sounds very bluesy. Unless you have a serious distortion pedal i wouldn't recommend this amp for anything heavier than ACDC territory. It definitely nails the in-between bluesy tone, clean with a hint of gain that just breaks up under pick attack. The reverb is also great, it seems to add real depth to the tone and isn't too deep and spacey like it is on a lot of other amps I've tried!
Build quality is rock solid and the red tolex makes the amp look a little bit classier than your standard Blues Jr, keep making FSR finishes on your amps and guitars Fender!
Only criticisms are that some other 15 watt amps in this price bracket include nice extra features like in built tremolo circuits and higher quality Celestion/Eminence speakers as standard.
Griffithjones owns this item
I needed a small tube amp for playing in the living room and for playing with friends in the jam room. I wanted something that was easy to carry and had great tone. The Blues Junior III fit that bill perfectly. The amp is easy to use, the controls are well laid out and the versatility of tones the amp is capable of are immense. You can tweak the EQ to get a respectable Blackface or Tweed tone. You can crank up the volume and turn the master down to get some heavy tube soaked drive. There's not a ton of headroom, but that's to be expected for a low watt tube amp. There is plenty of volume for the band room, and I've seen lots of players gigging with a miked Blues Junior in clubs around town. The Lighting Bolt speaker matches with the character of the amp very well. The only real weak spot for me was the reverb - but I also have a '65 Deluxe Reverb reissue and really no other reverb can come close to matching that. All in all the Blues Junior III is an excellent choice for any player who wants a small, versatile tube amp.

Why can't guilds that enforce running as a requirement just run them as a guild group? Even just having a ten man raid with the two tanks, 3 of the healers and 5 of the DPS can make the fights so much easier to complete.
Why can't guilds that enforce running as a requirement just run them as a guild group? Even just having a ten man raid with the two tanks, 3 of the healers and 5 of the DPS can make the fights so much easier to complete.
I'll try and post my problems with LFR in an understandable format.
If we can agree that we feel like LFR is mandatory, this will be made alot easier.
i was discussing this actively on the EU forums with Draztal for quite some time. until one of my friends asked me "why do you complain about having to put in effort in order to raid?" i had to stop my rant for a bit and think that one through.
Yes! we are being forced into doing LFR, and if you think about it, LFR is not that different from enchanting your gear. I dont mind that its mandatory for me to enchant my gear, why do i mind LFR so much?
The answer to that is: it is because i have to do it in an environment that i do not enjoy. i know of very few people who enjoys pugging.
You could of course bring in the argument that running dungeons is also mandatory. and yes, but the big diffrence is that im able to run dungeons with a small group of friends from my 10 man raiding guild, but im not able to run LFR with 25 people from my 10 man raiding guild. therefore im forced into earning my gear through pugging, which i suprisingly do not enjoy.
The second part of my problems with LFR is that it is a revamped version of the raids im progressing through with my set group of 10 people every wednesday. so i get to see the awesome artwork and explore the story of the raids in an environment that i do not enjoy, therefore ruining my whole experience of the place.
my first suggestion was to share the lockout of 10/25 and LFR. but an MVP brought up the point that people would be unable to play with 2 groups of friends (their guild and possible crossrealm buddies)
now i would suggest that they should share the item lockout (only be able to earn the loot from one raid type (10/25 or LFR)) thereby i would not be forced into running LFR and i would be able to catch up on loot if i was set on standby for a week of raiding.
Remember how such guilds like Method, Paragon, Premonition, Blood Legion would run LFR with a 25 man group, with 3-4 mains and the rest alts, and funnel gear to the mains? They ran LFR 5-10 times a week to get their raiders the (admittedly totally over-powered) T13 set bonuses that were worth thousands of dps, on top of alt-25 mans to be able to swap in alts for class-stacking reasons.
I do wonder where you draw the line between "quality of life" improvements such as removing the requirement for raiders to perform certain activities and then "making the game easy".
The word "easy" might be controversial but let me explain.
There needs to be something to differentiate the hardcore players from the less hardcore players. If you make too many quality of life improvements you reduce that differentiation.
You need to provide opportunities for the hardest of the hardcore to go out of their way and do ridiculous things in order to gain an advantage over those less willing to put in the effort.
Now at this point I am sure people are shouting "this can be achieved by making the encounters harder!!!!!!!"
No. Absolutely no. There are plenty of players out there with more than enough skill to clear heroic mode raids. I used to do it myself before I went casual. The reason large numbers of us are no longer able to do that is because we can't cope with the time requirements of doing absolutely everything necessary to gain even a 0.0001% advantage.
If you remove or reduce those time requirements you may find yourselves shocked at how many players suddenly start joining the ranks of the "hardcore". If we know one thing it is that those in the hardcore like to feel special and part of a minority.
So you really need ridiculous rep grinds and the requirement to run RF to give those super dedicated players a way in which to outperform the less dedicated but equally skilled.
Unless you want a completely level playing field based purely on skill? In which case you need the type of game that Lore has hinted at wanting to see - a game which is simply a lobby and raids. You would even need to remove gear to reduce the luck element.
Anyone who feels 'forced' to do LFR, is forgetting that they already made a choice to play in that competitive manner that makes the LFR gear considered important. If you're not going to be top-X, then anyone with the skill for heroic raids doesn't 'need' LFR gear at all, and any talk of being 'forced' is because of a choice you made, not that anyone forced on you.
If you're going to be top-X, well, then that's just part of the deal that you have to do extra stuff. Used to be farming for elixirs and flasks and other non-profession stuff (the stuff from Un'goro comes to mind), now it's farming LFR for extra drops if that's what it takes for you.
Basically, if you're good enough to do heroic modes, you shouldn't 'need' the gear from LFR. If you insist you do, maybe you need to look at yourself a bit and figure out why. Exception is the world -first guilds, but, as I and Blizzard have said, that's just part of the deal for them.
The more I see this argument going around and around, the more I think "I am forced to do everything I can to make raiding easier, but I will complain about everything I don't like" is toxic to the game design. Ideally, players would self-select into doing whatever is possible but not complaining about it, or not doing the things they don't like, and guild leadership would think harder about whether they really need to ask their raiders to do stuff in order to progress at an enjoyable pace.
For the players who don't select into those buckets or are forced into the wrong bucket by their guild leadership, Blizzard can only do so much to help them without killing the game for everyone else. With the benefit of hindsight, I would have tuned things a bit differently than Mists did (MSV normal would be easier to ease people into T14 without requiring tons of prep work, and I would have picked one or two ways to spend valor points without rep at launch), but there would still be plenty of complaints about "required" content. LFR is "bad" because of the double-speed burnout issue or having to play with strangers who aren't always very good. Dailies are "bad" because of mob competition or the lack of challenge in the solo open-world game. Dungeons are "bad" because of the limited amount of content or (again) having to play with strangers. To eliminate all of those complaints, all of that content would have to be effectively removed from the item progression system, at which point there is no vertical progression at level cap for non-raiders and nothing to do outside of raid for raiders.
Not necessarily, negative feedback is still feedback and if presented in a constructive manner, I'd like to believe negative comments can have a positive influence. For example, not too long ago Blizzard wanted to put forum user's real names out there for everyone to see. (I believe this was going to be part of the real id program) There was a massive wave of QQ about this (which is quite understandable) and Blizzard realized they were about to do something stupid. While, I understand that my example had nothing to do with the topic at hand, it was just there to illustrate my point. Something good can come from something bad."I will complain about everything I don't like" is toxic to the game design.
You kind of quoted me out of context there. In many cases negative feedback is constructive, but not when it's "you gave me a bunch of menu options, and because I have to eat all of them all the time, you'd better make sure that every single one is something I like."
If you don't care about being competetive, then don't run LFR. If you want to compete, then give yourself every edge you can, without exploits. It's really as simple as that. Bad groups come with running with randoms, you'll get the same people in 5 mans that you will in LFR and sometimes you get unlucky with your lineup. Oh well.
One other thing to consider is all of the LFR gear so far is lower ilevel of the normal mode of the next tier, so if you've farmed full heroic MSV gear there's a chance you won't need or want LFR in Heart of Fear. That's going to be a different argument from player to player but that's the message Zarhym keeps getting back to.
Blizz tried separate lockouts for n/h 10/25 in TOC, and players complained they had to run 4 of the same raid every week. They made the n/h lockouts the same in ICC, I didn't see too much trouble with that method personally but I'm sure SOMEONE bitched. Then, they combined all lockouts for a raid into 1. I'm sure there was complaints too that now there's no opportunity to farm a same-tier raid for extra loot. Where is there option that makes everyone happy? Can you come up with something? I mean that's what Blizz is trying to do with this is make a happy medium. The main thing is, LFR exists for the casual. If it burns you that much to run it, don't. If your guild requires it in order to be considered a "core raider", god I love that cliche, then you can decide whether or not said guild is for you, and either shut up or leave accordingly.

Damn Blizzard giving people more stuff that they can do! I don't want to play an MMO that lets me do stuff.
I agree that players feel like they are required. I understand that, but I agree with what Zarhym said. For most players it simply isn't required. Guilds might require it, but the raiding doesn't.
Heroic guilds certainly have to do lfr for this first tier. Unless there is some amazing trinket proc or set bonus, they won't need to run lfr in the next two tiers. That gear will be outclassed by their current heroic gear. Their done with it, move them off the required table.
Depending on the server, guilds competing for server first might not have to run it either. If they are heroic guilds that cleared enough to have all heroic gear, then they don't need it. If they aren't then yes lfr is required. How many players is that though, not a very big percent of the overall population. All players play for their enjoyment. If you aren't world ranked or going for server firsts then that's definitely all you are playing for. You aren't in a competition.
I really like what Zarhym posted and what he was trying to do. I think he was trying to change the mindset of the players. He was unsuccessful. People don't like finding out which rung of the wow ladder they are on.
Getting gear checked because you're more casual now than you were or because having roster issues because people feel burned out by all the grinding or whatever time sink bullshit there is in the game as a barrier to entry isn't interesting gameplay. It's just an artificial brickwall of no interest to me.
I think most of my guild has basically decided that the grind to get gear so that you're capable of putting out numbers enough to kill bosses (which you can do all the mechanics of but are getting in some way throughput-checked on) isn't worth it. We've basically stopped playing because we are all adults with jobs who spend most of our days there, have lives outside of WoW and only have a fairly limited amount of time to spend inside the game...and if we're just grinding gear instead of doing something interesting the luster is lost VERY quickly.

MV is perfectly doable in 463 gear. For most of these "raiders" who whine about LFR being mandatory, the difference between 463 and 476 isn't going to make a damn bit of difference, what will make a difference is to suck less.
Christ, this whiney, childish attitude of "oh, Blizz you screwed me over making me do things I don't want to do" after a while just grinds the nerves. People need to lose the selfish, "the game is just built for me and what I like to do" mentality. And for those of you who say "I know lots of people who feel like I do". Here's reality, no; you don't. You know maybe 50 people on your server out of 10 million subscriptions, you don't know squat. Even if you know 100, you don't know squat. The amount of people you know isn't even big enough to be satistically irrelevant. Get over yourselves.
I don't really agree its optional in this tier. Without the zone debuff its going to be extremely difficult for most to progress in tier14 with nothing but 463 gear available.
Presumably in the next tiers it will actually be optional as tier n+1 LFR gear won't be better than tier n normal mode gear and the content will only be 1 tier ahead of the previous tier's gear level. Normal mode MV is effectively 2 tiers of gear/content beyond the 463 gear available purely from heroics and while that doesn't make it impossible to use only the heroic level gear it isn't what I would call viable for the majority of people.
If tier14LFR had been 463 gear and tier14 normal been tuned to and dropped 476 gear LFR would have actually been 'optional'.
What was the difference between heroic blue gear from cata dungeons vs. T11 drops? I mean to me 13 ilevels is nothing. I was in normal MSV week one with an avg ilevel of about 455 equipped and we were fine. In fact nearly everyone was within 10 ilevels of my gear either way. Even if talking heroic if you're at 463 total, MSV is still doable for many.

Daring to Be More Democratic
Commentary by Hauke Hartmann on current political developments in North Africa and the Middle East
Western reactions to the demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt and the resulting calls for change have evinced a fear that North Africa and the Middle East might become destabilized. Yet analysis carried out for the Bertelsmann Stiftung's Transformation Index (BTI) has shown that the autocratic regimes supported by the West are actually key contributors to instability in the region. As a result, the European Union and the United States should demonstrate their courage and political will by supporting pro-democracy movements in Arab countries.
Country analyses carried out for the 2010 BTI confirm that major obstacles to political and economic reform exist in the Arab world -- obstacles that have been the reason for protests from Tunis to Cairo to Amman.
Corrupt presidential regimes and conservative monarchies refuse to give citizens a voice or allow them to participate effectively in the political systems governing them. Freedom of speech, the right to vote and other civil liberties are systematically restricted or denied altogether. The presence of all-pervasive state-security organizations results in countries being led by a small elite that refuses to allow a separation of powers and rule of law, while persecuting critics and enriching itself through corruption and misuse of office. The recent civil society protests have been directed at exactly these efforts to subvert or deny basic rights -- a situation that the BTI has documented continuously in almost all Arab nations since its initial release in 2003.
In terms of regional averages, the BTI values for the quality of democracy in North Africa and the Middle East have significantly lagged those in all other global regions for years. At the same time, detailed BTI country reports have shown the problems that arise when Western nations adopt policies which often condescendingly serve their own security interests in the region and which refuse to support local efforts to install democratic systems. For some time now, political and social protest movements have been forming "under the surface" in seemingly stable, repressive regimes, proving that a genuine desire for democracy and human rights is not limited to select cultural circles. In economic terms, bloated and inefficient government systems, widespread corruption and patronage abuses have run up against economic policies primarily designed to promote growth and free markets. Problematic social trends such as increasing inequalities between urban and rural populations, rapidly rising unemployment among young people and the growing gap between rich and poor have largely been ignored in past decades. As the BTI has observed for years, there has also been a growing gap between favorable global developments such as rising prices for raw materials and the lack of effort to address issues such as poverty, education, healthcare, infrastructure and social reform. In light of the hunger riots of spring 2008 and conflicts with trade unions, the 2010 BTI country report for Tunisia emphasized the need to deal with growing social inequalities and the high unemployment rate in the North African country that economists liked to praise as a model for others. The 2010 BTI country report for Egypt, moreover, noted that the majority of the population had not benefitted from the free-market reforms of the Nazif government and that the number of strikes and protests had increased accordingly.
For its part, the West has chosen to cooperate with politically questionable and socially instable regimes in North Africa and the Middle East in order to achieve its foreign and security policy objectives there. The BTI analysis has noted for a while that the calculated assumption that repressive regimes are more stable and therefore more reliable foreign policy partners is a mistake with wide-reaching consequences, one that undermines the West's credibility as a defender of democracy and human rights. This alleged dualism between security-driven realpolitik and democracy-promoting idealism needs to be dismissed and the idea recognized instead that good governance and long-term stability cannot be achieved without widespread economic and political participation, not to mention democracy based on rule of law and a market economy that is cognizant of sociopolitical concerns.
For those reasons, the European Union and the United States should use their remaining influence to press autocratic regimes in North Africa and the Middle East to allow fundamental political and social reforms. The dialogue that will be necessary for such a change should also include all political and civil society organizations.
This also includes the Islamist organizations that the West views with skepticism due to the fear that they will promote fundamental radicalism. The Bertelsmann Stiftung's country analyses and findings from discussion forums suggest three reasons why a dialogue with the Islamists should be considered. First, a democratization process is not credible if it does not consider concerns advanced by all major constituents. The BTI country reports show that in many Arab countries with repressive regimes, Islamist groups have been the most important organizations -- if not the only ones -- to emerge as political players over the years demanding democracy, corruption-reducing measures, social responsibility and good governance. In many countries they have long taken on the state's social duties, giving them not only a certain degree of credibility, but also the infrastructure necessary to respond effectively to the social concerns advanced by protesters.
Second, the Islamist organizations' hunger for power has been grossly overstated in the public debate. They are, in fact, prepared to serve as the junior partner in a government coalition, as is the case in Algeria, or to support compromises that conflict with their worldview, as is true of the family-rights reform in Morocco. In Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan and Morocco, the Islamists have preferred restraint to confrontation, supporting candidates in only one-third of the electoral districts, on average, in order not to provoke authorities, among other reasons.
Third, groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt consider themselves primarily religious organizations concerned with addressing educational and social issues. At a conference recently organized by the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace -- a meeting that brought together representatives of Islamist organizations from Egypt, Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait and Morocco -- Mohamed Saad el-Katatni, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's governing council and currently one of the opposition leaders negotiating with Egyptian Vice-President Omar Suleiman, emphasized that Islamists see themselves as representatives of movements that are concerned with achieving social progress and combating injustice and political oppression in their home countries. This, he said, was compatible in many areas with Western ideas of poverty reduction, democracy, equality and freedom.
At the same time, in its various regional incarnations, Islamism is quite heterogeneous and, in terms of militancy and its insistence on political structures that reflect religious beliefs, it advances various viewpoints throughout the Arab world. The Muslim Brotherhood, for example, is home to both a moderate and a radical wing. In addition, how Islamist groups approach Israel and the peace process in the Middle East must be watched carefully. At the same time, however, groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood cannot be compared to terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda, and the transformation process taking place in Egypt should not be conflated with the revolution in Iran in 1979. Western governments should avoid past mistakes and not go looking for "strong men" to support or supposed stability guarantees. The demonstrators' current democracy agenda has made impressively clear that more political options exist in the Arab world than just repressive autocracy and religious fundamentalism. To that end, the governments of Europe and the United States should attempt to enter into dialogue with all social players in North Africa and the Middle East. Marginalizing or ignoring Islamist organizations as happened in the past would only serve to strengthen their more radical adherents.
About the BTI:
The Bertelsmann Stiftung's Transformation Index (BTI) is a global ranking that analyzes and assesses development, governance and transformation processes in 128 countries in transition. It assesses the progress these countries are making toward adopting democracy based on rule of law and a market economy that also addresses sociopolitical concerns. Detailed country reports serve as the basis for evaluating the current level of development and ongoing challenges, and for assessing the ability of political actors to implement reform in a consistent, targeted manner. The BTI is thus the first comparative international index that measures the quality of governance using proprietary data, while offering comprehensive analysis of the policy outcomes relating to transformation processes.

Severe Allergic Reaction!!!

After researching this product and feeling confident that this herbal alternative to harsh chemical haircolors was a safe one, I did a test of about one drop of the gel to my inner arm, and within 8 hours had developed a severe blistered, itchy, red and swollen area measuring 3" across. This required immediate medical intervention with steroid treatments for a week to clear it up.
I LOVE Herbatint!

This is a wonderful product!! I've used henna and it was such a messy and time-consuming process that I never wanted to use it again. Herbatint not only leaves my hair shiny and soft, but it's also really easy to use! Plus, it's cheaper and better for your hair than most store-bought hair dyes. I definitely recommend it!!!!
It works great with mature dredlocks!

I'm a black woman with long dredlocks (6-years old) that had begun to turn brown and golden brown at the ends because of the sun. I decided to use this product because I prefer the look of rich, black dredlocks, and my original hair color is closer to black than brown. I saw that someone (a black woman with very long and beautiful dredlocks) on youtube had used this product, and recommended it because it is mostly natural. For this reason, I decided to try it. I'd used black henna in the past, and though it looked great a week or two after I died it, I found that henna (months later) left this nasty, dirty looking residue in my locks. So, I just wanted to try something else, but more natural than regular hair dye. The application was easy, but if you have long dredlocks (mine are to the middle of my back, and i have a LOT of hair), I recommend getting two packages, as the amount in one box didn't fully cover my hair. I have a handful of strands I couldn't fully cover, BUT the rich black color of all my other locks just makes the brown ones look like highlights. Perfect!

BirdMangerTM Feeders & Toys are the best defense on the market to protect your bird from Aspergillosis the fungal infection high-lighted by Rebecca Sweat in her article "The Home Invader" published in the June 2005 issue of BirdTalk Magazine.
From the the long list of precautions suggested by Robert Dahlhausen, D.V.M, owner of Veterinary Molecular Diagnostics in Milford, Ohio came this quote:
Our BirdMangerTM Feeders keep food dry and protected from feces period!
Our unique Tube Swing--which doubles as a sleeping module for our pet birds--is the ideal replacement for the mold-prone cloth "birdie buddy"! The Tube Swing provides warmth and privacy without the tendency to mold.
As a BirdMangerTM service to the owners of small and medium sized pet parrots we set out to explore the world of PVC (which is far less expensive than Acrylic) and found some very interesting shapes. This is the best of the best and we are proud to offer it--as a replacement for your small parrot's mold-prone cloth house. It has a large flat place to swing and play on top and a place to swing and sleep inside. This is "Sweetie" our Senegal's first ride and you can tell from the look on her face she was delighted.

Hi im thinking of Buying a Nikon d5000.My previous camera was a Nikon p30 24x zoom.
Ive tried out the d5000,with a Nikor 50m-200mm but it doesnt seem much difference than the standard Lens, 28m-55m.
Ive been spoiled with the 24x zoom (I know the quality must be much better,as with the p30 my shots are very Grainy)
I was thinking of buying Body Only and only one lens 28-300mm maybe?
Ive looked at the package deals i.e John Lewis (Cant buy Body only here!) and the Jessops Deal,but the lens to me might not satisfy my previous experiances of the 24x zoom.
So im confused! Am I obsessing about the zoom to much? or does anyone think that I can just have One lens ? If so which One?
I would be very gratefull on any advice....as Im ready to buy the Nikon d5000.
I thank you in advance for any replies...Cheers...

Loved this chapter. A combination of that magnitude using that many separate shinobi would be a nightmare to coordinate/pull off yet kishi showed how it'd be possible. Haven't seen this scale of tactics at work in Naruto before.
