A recent visit to Grand Bahama Island by Caribbean Editor Gay Nagle Myers yielded a lot of surprises and plenty of reasons to visit, either as a cruise passenger on a stopover or as a land-based vacationer. Pictured here, Count Basie Square, the centerpiece of Port Lucaya Marketplace, is named in honor of the American jazz pianist who owned a home on the island. The house, when seen from the air, is shaped like a grand piano. Posted Dec. 15, 2011

STS*: One Last Game in Westhoff's Superb CareerPosted by on December 29, 2012 – 12:00 pm
Sunday will mark the end of a remarkable 30-year pro coaching career for Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff. Westhoff held his final in-season news conference Thursday at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center and said he won't forget the past 12 seasons he's spent with the Green & White.
"I'm happy and proud to be at the place that I am in my career," Westhoff said. "Few of us get to leave this business of our own volition, and I'm able to do that."
The ST coach came to the Jets in 2001 after having spent the prior 15 seasons in the same role with the Miami Dolphins and before that, three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium, his son John will join him on the sidelines for his final game.
"I'm very proud that he wants to share that last game with me," Westhoff said.
This season hasn't been the Jets' best on special teams and Westhoff accepts full responsibility for the struggles and disappointments.
"It's a very sporadic, kind of crazy year," he said, "because at some points there were just some excellent things that took place this year that I was involved in, and then some things that were at the opposite end of the scale."
Westhoff said he is pleased that the Jets lead the NFL with 27 inside-the-20 kickoffs (Cincinnati is second with 24). He's also glad Joe McKnight will likely finish with the league's fourth-best kickoff-return average and that Jeremy Kerley may finish in the top 10 in punt-return average. But as a whole, his unit hasn't performed up to its normal high standard and the players aren't afraid to admit it.
"This year hasn't quite been how we've wanted to send him out because we've always been in the top in special teams," safety Eric Smith said.
Second-year linebacker Nick Bellore had hardly played special teams before arriving to the NFL, but credits Westhoff for teaching him the ropes.
"The attention to detail that he demands I think is really excellent and is probably why he's had so much success," Bellore said. "Things have to be done exactly how he wants them done and it can be tough at times, but if you do it right, you can see how it works."
What Smith says he'll miss most about Westhoff is sitting in on special teams meetings.
"Some of the things he says in the meetings are hilarious," No. 33 said. "Every day it's something new. You never know what's going to come out of his mouth. It's hilarious."
Westhoff said he hasn't spent much time reflecting this past week but will do a little when he's been alone.
"In the middle of the night, when I wake up, then all of the sudden it will dawn on me," he said. "But for the most part, no."
Following his retirement, Westhoff plans to return to Florida and hopes to transition into a media career, possibly as a football television analyst.
"I think that today's fan is becoming a more and more educated fan," he said. "Television does a great job of that."
And from Westhoff's count, Sunday he will be coaching his 625th NFL game. Bellore said the unit owes it to its leader to put together one last effective outing.
"I think we've underperformed this year," Bellore said, "and the best thing we can do is send him out with a win and make some big plays on special teams."

I have always respected Mike Westhoff for his knowledge of the game, STs in particular. But while listening to his last presser it seemed to me he tried to give the impression that none of what happened this year on STs was his fault, it was all on the players. While I am a big believer in the fact that a coach coaches, and players play, I think he should have taken the high road a little more then he did. That said, I think he will be missed a lot, I hope they can somehow find a workable replacement. Randy, was Kotwica officially named to be Mikes replacement?

scjoe, no coaching or front-office moves have been announced as of this morning, Sunday morning.

Lets switch gears and see the positions in the Jets organization are not to be touched.
This team is set at CB. With return of Revis island, Cro's pro bowl season and Wilson moving back to nickel it may be top CB duo and trio in league.
DL looks good for years to come. Wilkerson is playing lights out against run and pass. Coples played much better during second half of season. Devito, and Pouha still play strong.
S is suspect for good enough. If team can resign Landry and Bush moves to FS next season, the team may sign a free agent or draft a S late in draft for depth.
MLB stil strong. Harris still the unsung hero on this team in my opinion, and Davis moving beside him with Scott being released MLB is not a postion I would use a draft
By MIKE on Dec 29, 2012 | Reply
May sound like a broken record but how a does team replaces an all pro, hall of fame LG and bulldozing RT with a 7th round pick G and Wayne Hunter.
This team may have QB and play calling issues but personal changes and lack of depth is ultimately this teams hugest problems.
Slauson has definitely played better than most people hoped but there is know way after 2010 when Faneca was cut and the Jets drafted Ducasse that that move was an improvement after Jets front office lead by Rex Ryan wanted to pass more and have a move aggressive offensive approach.
Since 2010 Jets replaced, Faneca, Woody, Jones, Cotchery, Edwards, with Slauson/Ducasse, Hunter, Mason, Kerley and now Hill. How is that an improvement.
I do like Kerley though.
By Jet Fan Since '64 Living My Nightmare on Dec 29, 2012 | Reply
Westhoff did a great job, of course, despite occasional lapses like the 2-TD KO return game vs MIA. But what won't get as much notice, and what I notice isn't mentioned at all above, is that he single-handedly saved exactly those two players mentioned above, McKnight and Kerley, from playing even less of a role on this team or maybe even getting cut from it because of Rex's failure to understand that you win by scoring more pts than the other team. This is THE MAIN REASON Rex has to go, he's a loser in the biggest sense of the word and that is — HE DOESN'T PLAY TO WIN! HE PLAYS IT SAFE AND STARTS REHEARSING HIS EXCUSES FOR LOSING SOMEWHERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER! At least, that's the sense that I get…

Notice how writers who aren't merely Jet fans, as Cimini isn't and to his credit refuses to be, have no problem seeing the obvious. From Gregg Rosenthal's NFL site column on what the 17 non-playoff teams need: "New York Jets: Where to start? There are so many problems with the Jets' offense, and coach Rex Ryan clearly doesn't know how to fix them himself. A strong personnel voice with a true long-term vision is needed because there are no quick fixes." Yes, so I suggest we stop agonizing over re-signing Landry, what to pay Greene or Keller, and whether we've finally got the right K and P and start focusing on the big issues. Which is also why I won't stop calling for Curtis Martin to buy the team and move it back to NY.

I guess the only highlights this season were poduced by the Special teams..Kerley's punt return TD and Mcknight's KO return TD…NO highlight pass plays..No highlight runs..the offense was mostly pathetic the entire season – totally un-organized. As for Low lights? We all agree the "Butt Fumble" was as bad as bad can be…..Embarrassing to Epic proportions! Time to move on fom this lost season

I can't wait till monday went Tannenbaum and Tony Sparano and the rest of the Offensive Coaches Staff get fired. Good Ridding to Mike Wasthoff too.

Unknown source from Manish (is that better scjoe) is that trying to get a Start, Tebow walked by Mac and "accidentally" hit him in the head with a 200 pound weight..not confirmed yet from unknown source. Rex heard about it from unknown source and said "Thats it…Sanchez starts".

By Jet Fan Since '64 Ready for the Dream on Dec 29, 2012 | Reply
For all the "We're the Jets, things can never get better"-types, Myers in the Daily News: "One thing Johnson can do to prove that he is intent on giving Ryan a chance to win in 2013 is not allow Mark Sanchez's $8.25 million guaranteed contract — a misguided move in March by Tannenbaum — to hold the Jets hostage. You can't win in the NFL the way Sanchez played this season. Johnson has to give his decision-makers the OK to bring in a QB if he is a significant upgrade over Sanchez, even it means paying big money to two QBs. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO STRUCTURE CONTRACTS TO MINIMIZE SALARY-CAP IMPACT. [my CAPS added] Ryan has made the Jets relevant the last 4 years, but only Johnson's checkbook can keep it that way." You can say THAT again, bro!
By Jet Fan Since '64 Ready for the Dream on Dec 30, 2012 | Reply
Good way to prove to yourself we shouldn't in any way overpay for Keller: Add his stats to Cumberland's. What you get is pretty much the same stats as for a typical Keller yr — at least, with the QBs we've had since before Favre got hurt and couldn't throw — and the same level of blocking at TE or lack of it. So despite that dumb column on the NFL site by Hanzus about how important it is to re-sign DK, what's really important is getting (1) A HC who values, understands, and promotes the passing game (2) A QB who can compete in the passing game as it's played in the NFL now, and (3) WRs of the class that even terrible teams, i.e. Fitzgerald on AZ, have these days (though the ominous rumor is that Fitz is in talks to go to…the Pats!).

10 minutes ago Cimini reported on ESPN that the Jets are going to fire Sparano tomorrow, to which I say — DUH! Fire the guys who hired Sparano and told us what a great job he was doing — that would be Mr T and Rex — and I'll start paying attention, Woody.

GaryC, with all due respect, Montana did not "destroy" Dan Marino and John Elway, he may indeed have destroyed that Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos collective defenses.

Gary, we may be going overboard on this "elite" QB issue. I don't think we will ever agree that the amount of influence one has on his team is overwhelming. But anyway, you say Montana has never been beaten by another "elite: QB (I assume you meant in SBs only, otherwise it would not be a true statement) There is a very simple and a very obvious reason for that….Only one can win it!
By GaryC on Dec 31, 2012 | Reply
scjoe,yes in super bowls was Montana unbeaten,that is what I meant,scjoe,this is a rhetorical question that I will bring up to you,this elite stuff is getting to be non sense,any quarterback who gets to the super bowl has to be good,there are just other factions that get them there,Joe cannot fathom this.
By scjoe on Jan 1, 2013 | Reply
Gary, agree, any QB who gets to the SB has to be "at least" pretty decent, but on the other hand, can you really write it off as coincidence that so many SB winners had QBs that were much, much, better then just "good" I think the ratio has to be somewhere near 10-1. No coincidence..

Mustache You to Wed Save the Date Magnets We absolutely loved our save the dates and so has everyone else! They were exactly what we expected and got them on time with no hassle.
Mustache You to Wed Save the Date Magnets I'm so happy I decided to shop around and look at other websites for Save-the-Dates. I have been in love with the mustache and lips for a long time and I love that they are coming back in trend. I found a mustache and lips magnet with no picture and I really liked it but wanted one with a picture. I searched some more and found one! I love that we could personalize it with our own wedding colors. We used a rustic save-the-date sign in our engagement pictures and the part of the design that normally has the date printed I changed to read "We mustache you to....". It all came together perfectly. The price was decent and the size of the magnets is perfect, not too big and not too small. I will definitely come back to Magnet Street for future needs.
Great Magnets!!

Got the bass about two weeks ago and was the best playable bass I've owned right out of the box. But noticed the finish on the back was all scarred up.
jnumme owns this item
Let me preface my review by stating that my Select (#86 of the first 100) is my absolute favorite bass that I have owned, and I've owned many. But, for the price point I was a bit upset when I first received it. I'll continue with my negative remarks to get them out of the way. At $2300, I expected it to be shielded, and the body edges could have had smoother contours. That's it...now to the praise.
My Select has an amazingly gorgeous top. Whenever a friend or band member sees it, they always comment about how great it looks. When I plug it in, they comment about how great it sounds. The compound radius/quartersawn neck is a dream to play, and the single coils are high output with a very full-fat tone, which is excellent when playing classic rock and blues with my cover band. The fretwork and finish were well done, and it's very comfortable despite the body edges not being as contoured as the American Standard Jazz basses.
Now that I've owned this bass for almost a year(purchased in March 2012), I can honestly say that I'm very, very happy that I decided to purchase this fine instrument.
Raginrog owns this item
I can't say enough good about this bass. It's gorgeous, plays like a dream, sounds terrific, balanced perfect, and on and on. Plenty of tone variation. It's the only Jazz Bass I've ever owned that sounds like a Precision Bass when rolling off the bridge pickup. The case and and accessories are also first class. I use a Revonation Cocobolo strap, and it looks like a million bucks. Way to go Fender.....home run!
kastran owns this item
The Fender Select is a well thought out & great sounding bass made from top shelf materials & craftsmanship, the Amber burst maple flame top is both striking& breath taking, this is a beautiful bass that plays like butter, I love the Quarter saw neck with posiflex graphite rods, the Select single coil jazz pickups are booming, & produce an awesome tone. The Case that accompanies it is equally impressive, with tweed cover, leather sides & handle & a gorgeous plush wine red interior with the Select logo on the Storage compartment ............The Fender Select is First Class all the way.

About Mammoth Mountain :
Mammoth Mountain, located in the heart of the Eastern Sierra mountain range, is California's favorite mountain resort. Some people come to Mammoth for the 150 trails. Others for over 3,100 feet of vertical. A few show-up with their sights set on exploring the 3,500 acres of terrain. And the size-matters crowd shows up because Mammoth is the tallest ski resort in California with a peak elevation of 11,053 feet. Lovers of snow hang their helmets here because of more than 400 inches of annual snowfall. Folks with family-sized bottles of sunscreen can't get enough of our more than 300 days of sunshine. With bluebird skies like that, winter never gets old and sticks around for a long time -- our ski and snowboard season typically runs from November until June. At a minimum.
Skiers and snowboarders take pleasure in exploring the massive mountain, gliding down gentle groomed runs and challenging the steep chutes. For the more adventurous, Mammoth's Unbound Terrain parks are known around the world for style and innovation, attracting some of the top professional riders in the country. With nine parks and three halfpipes, Mammoth's terrain parks have something for every size thrill-seeker.
There are plenty of outdoor activities off the slopes too. From cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to snowmobile tours, ice skating and snow tubing, Mammoth truly has something for everyone.
Getting to Mammoth has never been easier! With direct flights from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and San Francisco into the Mammoth-Yosemite Airport (MMH) you can be on the slopes in just a few hours. Visit MammothMountain.com for complete flight schedules and to book your trip.

The bottom line, as Gartner sees it: Technical, fiscal and service delivery concerns will be critical and organizations should plan around eight forces to shape their best data center strategies.
"Over the next five to 10 years most organizations will need to change their approach to previous data center strategies used in the last five to seven years, as most of the world comes out of recession and the nexus of forces -- social, mobile, cloud and information -- affects technology use," said Rakesh Kumar, research vice president at Gartner. "Historically, data centers have been viewed solely as service delivery centers in which cost and risk must be balanced. Agility, a critical third variable, will become increasingly important in [the] future."
With that in mind, Gartner has identified eight areas to consider when developing a data center strategy that balances cost, risk and agility:
1. Start Deploying Processor, Memory and Power Efficient Technologies
According to Gartner, the next few years will bring significant enhancements to process architectures and the economics of processor and memory components will change. "In-memory computing, where the primary location for application data is the main memory of the computing environment, will become more widely used, helped by ever-cheaper DRAM and NAND flash memory," the firm said. "At the same time, the use of low-energy processors in servers will increase, with the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption costs."
2. Move Toward a Balanced Architectural Topology and Delivery Model
The architecture of systems deployed in data centers will change over the next five years and the topology of the data center delivery model is also changing, Gartner predicts. "The use of cloud and a range of hosting providers will continue to increase over the next few years as many organizations shift their IT spending from capital expenditure to operating expenditure," the firm said. "The boundaries between the traditional types of infrastructure outsourcing -- managed hosting, data center outsourcing (DCO), and DCO-related services such as remote infrastructure management -- are becoming blurred."
3. Invest in Operational Processes and Improved Tools
Enterprise data centers are centralized and highly critical IT service delivery hubs relying on well-orchestrated operational processes. According to Gartner, this involves understanding, documenting and constantly reviewing end-user service levels and mapping them back into the core IT delivery capabilities. The firm outlined the major areas of concern as being around change, problem, configuration and asset management. (continued...)

POETRY— A WEAPON FOR HANOI POWSOn 40th Anniversary of Their Release, New Book Reveals Surprising Survival Tactic and Motivation for Life Long Service
TAPS ON THE WALLS: Poems from the Hanoi Hiltonby John Borling, Major General, USAF, Ret.
Foreword by Senator John McCain"It is most fitting that on this 40th year anniversary of our releasefrom prison in Vietnam that you can know and appreciate John'sremarkable work as we did during our darkest days in the Hanoi Hilton."--Senator John McCain
2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of American POWs held at the infamous Hoa Lo Prison, aka the Hanoi Hilton. During gruesome years of incarceration, they had to fight to maintain their honor and sanity. For many, poetry was a weapon.
Major General John Borling, USAF, Ret., (then Captain Borling) mentally composed poetry and communicated it to fellow prisoners via a special, but forbidden, tap code. Unable to write anything down, he committed thousands of words to memory. Upon his release, he recorded all his poems. They are now published in TAPS ON THE WALLS: Poems from the Hanoi Hilton (Master Wings Publishing, February 12, 2013, $19.95 hardcover) coinciding with the anniversary date of his release.
Given the intensely personal nature of his works, General (and Mrs.) Borling held these poems privately over the ensuing years, but were encouraged to share them when his current hometown of Rockford, Illinois mounted an exhibition (Service Over Self) based, in the main, on his 37-year military career. Now, thanks to Master Wings Publishing, the new imprint of the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago, the poems are available to a national and international audience.
"For the past decade, our mission focus has been to acquire and maintain an accessible collection of materials, and develop appropriate programs focusing on the Citizen Soldier in the preservation of democracy," said Colonel (IL) J.N. Pritzker, IL ARNG (Retired), Founder and Chair of the Pritzker Military Library. "Our hope is that this book will raise awareness between and about those who have sacrificed for freedom on the frontlines and who have returned home to live lives filled with honor and continued service." On June 1, 1966, Borling's life changed forever. During his 97th fighter mission over the heart of North Viet Nam, he was shot down by ground fire. Seriously injured during ejection, he was captured trying to evade. Twenty-four hours later, he was dragged into the Hanoi Hilton. He would be a POW for more than six years and eight months. His wife, Myrna, would not know for years if he was alive.
"For many years, the POWs were held alone or in semi-isolation. The enemy wanted us weak, despondent, and totally cut off. Our challenge was to carry on, keep faith with the nation and each other. For that, we had to communicate." Borling recalls.So they tapped on the walls, using a special, but forbidden, prison tap code. Much to the dismay and anger of the North Vietnamese, they maintained a chain of command. They shared names to insure others knew they were alive, messages of hope (or despair), family, jokes, prayers, and more, including poetry. Borling composed and kept memorized original creations using poetry as a way to 'fight back' against the forces of cruelty and time.
Presented in TAPS ON THE WALLS: Poems from the Hanoi Hilton, Borling's works are divided into four sections. The first expresses a passion for the sky and the great missing of the freedom that flying provides. The second section speaks to the dark, hard days, when an awful loneliness and punishment and pain were routine. The third section deals with "The Holidays" and the need to remember, and be grateful but offset by the enormity of prolonged and uncertain incarceration Finally, the fourth, SEA Story (South East Asia Story), is an epic poem that took many years to compose and, as Borling notes, "offers commentary on just about everything."
The book includes a glossary of military, aviation and historical terms as well as a substantial introduction and other supplementary material that gives insight into the total work.
For years, the poems existed only in the hearts and minds of Borling and his fellow POWs---a legacy for his wife in case he "didn't make it." He did make it, and upon release on February 12, 1973, he went AWOL from the Clark Air Base (Philippines) hospital to buy a tape recorder and begin "downloading." The Base Exchange manager came back with a small, shoebox-looking thing and he protested, "Not a radio, a tape recorder --- you know, with reels and stuff." The manager laughed and gave a cassette recorder to the future-shocked ex POW.
About the AuthorJohn Borling, Major General, USAF, Ret., is a native Chicagoan and Air Force Academy graduate. A fighter pilot, his many decorations include: The Silver Star, two Bronze Stars with V for Valor and two Purple Hearts. During his thirty-seven years in the Air Force, he served throughout the world in high-level command and staff positions. A White House Fellow, Life Member of The Commercial Club of Chicago and Trustee of The Lincoln Academy of Illinois, his post military activities include Chairman/CEO and Board Director level positions of multiple for profit and not for profit organizations. He and his wife Myrna live in Rockford, Illinois.

over the past couple days i've been teaching myself french and making reasonable progress. what are some of your favorite french poems.
over the past couple days i've been teaching myself french and making reasonable progress. what are some of your favorite french poems.
I tried to get into Baudelaire but I'm not artsy enough. My favourite french poem that I actually understand well enough is by Victor Hugo, it's about the death of his daughter. http://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Demain,_d%C3%A8s_l%27aube
How far are you with the tenses and shit, I mean are you at a point where you understand the subjunctive etc.? And did you learn it in high school, or is Spanish all the rave in American high schools?
you don't know how to do that in english
i took one year of spanish in high school and like every other class didn't really do any work so i didnt pick up any of it. never had prior experience with french, just bought one of those popularly marketed self-teach french books and have been watching some youtube videos.
im okay with tenses i guess. i couldnt write a grammatically correct french sentence of unless it were very simple, but i can understand reading most things if i look up some of the especially foreign vocab. i never really cared about what grammatical stuff is called so dont really know what the subjunctive is.
baudelaire's fleurs du mal is what i've been mostly reading, i like it well enough
yeah i dig fleurs du mal. a lot of 19th century french literature and poetry that's famous and well-regarded tends to be boring and unreadable. most of emile zola and victor hugo etc.'s works are a ball ache. baudelaire is an exception. i think a general guide to reading french poetry is if it's romantic poetry, give it a go, if otherwise it'll probably be shit. sully prudhomme is dire.
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
[QUOTE=Hicky;503517 And did you learn it in high school[/QUOTE]
lol the thought that Tim retained anything that was regurgitated to him in high school
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT

Mitt Romney speaks French? Quelle horreur!
MEDIAWATCH, Wed. 14/12/2011: Mitt Romney "haters" have found the perfect tool to attack the Republican presidential hopeful: a video of him speaking French. Remember what happened to John Kerry in 2002? Also, a shortage of GPs in the French countryside prompts one mayor to suggest using vets instead. Finally, we discover Merkozy, in pictures.

I liked this ring but im sending it back because it doesnt match the side stones on my engagement ring. The diamonds in this band are too small.
The quality of the ring was better than expected and it fit my fiance perfectly. I was apprehensive to purchase jewelry online but overstock.com has changed that. Their quality is great and the ring was delivered in a matter of days. Great experience overall. My fiance wishes they had another one of these rings available in her size. If she is happy, I'm happy.
I was disappointed to see how small it was in reality as it did not look so small on the website. But it is a nice ring and it does fit well
For the price, can't beat it. Delicate and shiny. Will be perfect for the low key bride (ME!)
I already have one of these rings and I wanted another.
First the good news, the stones in this ring were really nice and sparkly. The bad news, the ring itself is super thin and tiny. I expected the band to be a little more substantial. It looks like a thin wire with diamonds. Might be ok with a second one for stacking with a wider band but it looks funny with my thicker bands. I bought a diamond band at overstock years ago that was really nice but is no longer available. This band was disappointing. I'm sending it back.
It's a little thinner than I expected but my wife likes.
I was happy with this ring I bought as a replacement for a lost wedding band for about 6 months. I've had it since July, it is now November, and 3 of the diamonds have fallen out already. I expect more will follow. Bummer. Otherwise, charming and sparkly and delicate.
the fact that there is no return on this item makes me very upset. this ring is not worth a dime. I wasted over $$$, this will really make me think twice before I buy anything thru this site.
well, I do not know what some of you were on when writing your reviews, but you get what you pay for, & this ring does not even shine.. going back, rather was 200 bucks on other things..

01. Defensive Stats
The most important questions about stats are answered by Satrina in the post Frequently Asked Questions. To sum it up:
Defense is a skill that helps prevent physical damage, by reducing the chance to be hit or critically hit. It also increases block, dodge and parry. Each point of +defense skill adds 0.04% to the chance to be missed, block, dodge and parry. This means that +25 defense will grant you 1% miss, parry, dodge and block. Also check out Veneretio's post How good is Defense
Crit immunity:
- 540 defense = 5.6% reduction = the minimum to become crit immune against raid bosses (lvl 83)
- 535 defense = 5.4% reduction = the minimum to become crit immune against heroic bosses (lvl 82)
Dodge is the act of avoiding a melee attack, that would otherwise hit you. So if you dodge an attack, you take no damage. 39.35 dodge = 1% dodge (subject to diminishing returns).
Targets of melee attack can parry each incoming frontal attack. A successful parry nullifies the attack (so for the attacker it's like a miss) and reduces the swing timer of the defender. 49.18 parry = 1% parry (subject to diminishing returns).
Block is the ability of a shield to absorb melee damage. If you block an attack, a fixed amount of damage is removed from the hit you take. 16.39 block = 1% block chance. Check out Satrina's post on Blocking.
Avoidance vs. mitigation
Defense, dodge and parry are called avoidance stats, as you avoid the entire effect of the attack. Block is called mitigation, as you mitigate (lessen the effect) of the attack. So for example if you have 20% dodge, 20% parry and 20% block, you have 40% chance to take no damage and 20% to block some of the damage.
Diminishing returns:
- 4.92 defense rating = 1 defense skill
- 39.35 dodge = 1% dodge
- 49.18 parry = 1% parry
- 16.39 block = 1% block chance
- 82 Resilience = 123 Defense Rating = 25 Defense Skill = 1% less chance of being crit
Keep in mind that every point in dodge or parry rating gives slightly less percentage than the previous point. This is called diminishing returns. For defense each point rating always equals the same amount of skill, but the amount of dodge and parry you gain from the defense skill does diminish. More information on the subject can be found in the post Diminishing Returns
Balancing stats:
After hitting crit immunity, aim for a defense:dodge ratio of 2:1. Parry is considered the least avoidance stat, as you need a lot to gain 1% parry and because the diminishing return on parry is very steep. More information on the subject can be found in the post Balancing Avoidance
Calculate Avoidance:
More information can be found in the post Block cap + Pure avoidance macro's . But to calculate your avoidance, run this script:
/script dr=function(x)return 1/(1/16+0.9560/x)end;DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Need 102.4 combat table coverage. Currently at: "..string.format("%.2f", GetDodgeChance()+GetBlockChance()+GetParryChance() +5+dr(GetCombatRating(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)/122.962)))

Jan 4, 2013I like the show. It's interesting and decent, a relief after seeing those junky reality shows and rude sitcoms being advertised. I'm rather unhappy that it's been canceled after season 1.
Nov 17, 2012I love this show! It is very refreshing and Mamie Gummer is great! They really need to give it chance to get a following. She says what we are all thinking.
Dec 6, 2012Mammie is a great actress and it's so fun to watch her in anything she does.... but I love this take on a medical program. I love watching the show because there is a sense of authenticity, rawness, and intimacy with the character. You see the ups and downs..... and it's not so predictable as with so many other shows. I keep expecting a certain story line, then become surprised by the direction of the show. Mammie is great! I highly recommend this show!… Expand
Dec 6, 2012I love this show...I work in Cardiology and I know everything that is going on!!!! Love, Love, Love Emily Owens!!! I have to wait until January 1st in order to watch another show!!!
Dec 7, 2012This show has so much potential for a second season. It has both a dynamic cast and an engaging (and not too predictable) story line. Medical shows are a big hit, and right now other shows like House and Grey's Anatomy are getting all the attention. I personally love the show. It has the right balance of humor and drama to keep the viewers coming back for more.
Jan 11, 2013I have enjoyed this show immensely. I wish that it wasn't going to be canceled. It deserves a chance on another night or at least paired with other shows with a similar audience. The acting is of a high quality and for a medical soap it's different then the others that have received a lot more success. I suspect that if this show were on another network it would be a hit. Furthermore the WB has kept other shows on the air that even had less of an audience. Mamie gives it a lot of heart and soul. I can relate so much to her dorkiness. I love her internal struggles. She's happy to be smart and we are happy to watch a show with a lead character who is really smart, a good person and attractive to boot. I have never been moved enough to complain about a show's cancellation before.… Collapse
Jan 3, 2013I love this show. I am so sad to hear it is being canceled. It is not often I feel connected to characters in a show these days, I do with these. I think it is because many of us have been in Emily's place in some way. It is one of my absolutely favorite shows.
Feb 1, 2013This is a great show. It's my favorite. Gummer is adorable, relatable and likeable! It's just a feel good show that's different from other shows on right now. I hate that it's been canceled. Sorry there's no vampires or supernatural beings sorry it's not a reality show w/a bunch of B's stabbing each other in the back. I hate what television has become. And I hate that networks cycle through shows like they're underwear. A good decent show doesn't have a chance any more. It's all about money NOT the viewers. Sad.… Expand
The greatest problem for Ms. Gummer, and everyone else in the cast, has to do with the script, a terminal case of the well-known vacant mind disorder, to which large quarters of the TV writing world are, it would seem, particularly susceptible.
Gummer, so good as a clever lawyer on The Good Wife, deserves better than this role as a grown-up, moony teenage girl, even as she makes Emily far more interesting than her own insipid voice-over narration would suggest.
Oct 16, 2012If you're hoping for a slow-building romance, a relatable lead character, and a sweet follow-up to lighthearted lead-in "Hart of Dixie," you're in the right place.

Just how big will 3D be? The Hollywood studios are obviously betting on it. So are display manufacturers.
So how about you, the home theater enthusiast? Based on a poll posted on the extremely popular AVS Forum website of enthusiasts, DIYers and even some custom electronics pros, the answer is resoundingly skeptical.
The poll—"3D Television - Fad or Here to Stay?"—asked forum readers:
Do you think that 3D TV is just a fad pushed more so by current movies and thus hype or do you think it is here to stay and will become what people will purchase when they go to buy a flat screen? Considering that their currently are no standards for home 3D viewing, you may still think it is here to stay or even is still a fad. Can it really only happen with standards? (Example ... My glasses will work on my friend's display.) This is just a general simple question poll without getting deep into it. What is your thought? Fad, Hype, Got to have Standards?
Open for voting over a two-week span, the poll garnered 4,766 responses:
Despite its being a very informal poll, we respect the AVSers as a group of knowledgeable home theater fans, and generally early adopters when it comes to technology. Judging from the 600-plus comments elicited along with the votes, though, it looks like the majority will be late or non adopters of 3D video. Then again, many are also expecting to be force-fed the technology, with 3D simply becoming commonplace in new TVs much like 1080p high-def has grown.
Here's a sampling of the many comments, both pro and con:
"I'm pretty confident it's the way of the future, however I'm not too sure it'll take off this time around. Needs standards." —apexdown
"I am not a fan of wearing glasses to watch a movie. Besides that the going rate of $150 for each additional pair of glasses is ridiculous. If I did have a 3D system it would be BYOG. (bring your own glasses)" —Jon_B
"I think it's a fad to sell more TV's. There used to be a time when the average US household bought a television once every 10 years, maybe longer. And the manufacturers found a way to survive on that. Then HD rolled around and the companies loved seeing the profits from new TV's that they decided they wanted to see those profits every few years. I believe they embarked on a campaign to make it seem like even for HDTV's, that you needed to get a new replacement every three or so years. To do that you need some kind of advancement." —pappy97
"It's here to stay. Like any new technology, the early versions are not great, but the potential is being realized. In 5 -7 years DVD will be a thing of the past giving way completely to Blu-ray, and 3D won't be a gimmick, it'll just be part of the viewing experience. 3D capable TVs will be like 1080p. Every new set will have it. I do think the glasses will have gone the way of the dinosaur in favor of autostereoscopic screens." —bigeasy70075
"If it's developed without glasses its not a fad. I'd love to play video games in no glasses 3D. Some movies might benefit but touting the 3Dness of something won't affect revenue in the near future. The market is already pretty saturated with the term." —detached
