For more than 20 years, Patrick and Judith had lived a standard suburban life. "We had been in the same traditional English Tudor in Chicago for more than 25 years," Patrick points out. The traditional home suited the family just fine, but after their youngest child went off to college, Patrick and Judith decided it was time to shake things up a bit. "For us, that meant switching from a suburban lifestyle to something more contemporary," says Patrick. So into the city they went to purchase two unfinished condos that they would eventually attach to create a 2,800-square-foot space teeming with sensational views of the skyline, a wonderfully eclectic collection of art and a top-notch entertainment and control system.
The modern, chic, Southside penthouse Patrick and Judith now occupy is a far cry from their quaint Tudor, but the urban style is a perfect match for their new cosmopolitan way of life. Both Judith and Patrick are avid collectors of Outsider Art and are closely involved in many of the city's film festivals. "The clean, linear space is ideal for displaying our art," explains Patrick. And because the penthouse is just two miles from Chicago's financial and cultural center, the couple finally has a convenient, comfortable spot to entertain patrons from both the art and film communities. "It's not only a home for them but also a gallery for their friends and colleagues," says John Brisk, a design consultant with Baumeister Electronic Architects. The Niles, IL–based electronics design firm was hired by the couple to incorporate systems that would lend an additional level of sophistication to the space.
Lighting the Way
Naturally, the homeowners would need special lighting to play up their prized works of art. "We have more than 100 pieces on the walls and close to 75 pieces on the bookshelves that needed attention," claims Patrick. Professional lighting designer Jill Mullen of The Morgan Group in Chicago was brought in to select the perfect fixtures, choose dimming levels and arrange the lights to best showcase the couple's home-based gallery. To make it easy for Patrick and Judith to activate and tweak the lights, Baumeister put the fixtures under the control of an architectural lighting system. The centralized Crestron lighting system lets them modify the intensity of each fixture by pressing a few buttons on one of several interactive Crestron touchpanels located throughout the house. "If we're having people over, I'll sit down with the big Crestron web tablet and adjust the settings fixture by fixture," says Patrick. Or, for a quicker effect, he can always hit a preset mood button. The command sweeps through the apartment, reducing some lights and brightening others simultaneously. Patrick and Judith use the mood buttons to accentuate certain parts of a room, to cue daytime and nighttime lighting scenes or to prepare the apartment for certain activities like watching movies and NBA games, two of their favorite pastimes.
House of Glass
Watching TV takes on a whole new meaning when there's nearly 50 feet of glass covering one side of a room. All that light could easily wash out even the most pristine picture, not to mention damage the homeowners' precious displays of art. But those windows were what initially sold the couple on the space. "People buy these condos specifically for the view," says Patrick. Rather than cover up the panes with heavy draperies, the two had their contractor install e-glass to filter out the UV rays and help insulate the apartment from the heat and cold outside. The job was completed with the installation of Lutron blackout shades that descend 10-feet from the ceiling with the press of a button. They picked a plasma TV as the main display for the media room, partly for its ability to perform well under bright conditions. "The 50-inch plasma is our normal TV," says Patrick. "It's the one we'll flip on when we come home from work."
When it's time to entertain, the couple puts the plasma away and pulls out a bigger, more engaging display. The switch from the 50-inch Fujitsu to an 83-inch Da-Lite motorized screen happens by pressing a button on the room's portable Crestron web tablet. In seconds, the screen gradually lowers from its hiding spot in the upper cavity of the custom-built entertainment unit. As the screen rolls over the plasma, a Sony SXRD video projector fires up from the back of the room. Unlike the surround-sound speakers, which are hidden inside the cabinetry and millwork, the ceiling-mounted projector is completely visible. But that doesn't bother Patrick and Judith in the least. "The projector almost looks like a sculpture on the ceiling," designer John Brisk remarks.
Special Delivery
The media room is a great spot for Patrick and Judith to catch a game or settle in with a movie, but the entertainment doesn't stop there. Crestron audio and video distribution systems feed content from a Sony 400-disc DVD changer, an Escient music server and a high-def cable box with built-in TiVo to several other areas. The master bedroom, for instance, receives video on a slick 42-inch plasma TV that rises and articulates from a custom cabinet. The setup is both aesthetically pleasing and functional: The homeowners can keep the TV tucked away when they want to and when it's revealed, twist it toward the bed or the sitting area for the best possible view. The Canton speakers attached to the plasma swivel along with the set so the sound is always coming from the direction it should.
A Crestron in-wall CT1000 touchpanel presents all the necessary commands for transforming the bedroom into an entertainment area. This includes a list of all the DVD and CD titles in the players in the media room. An Escient music server and an Escient DVD manager compile the information and zip it off to the bedroom touchpanel, as well as to six others around the house. Of course, there's also a more standard-looking handheld remote, the Crestron ML500, which Patrick and Judith can use for quick channel changes and volume adjustments.
The TV may go into hiding, but the speakers that deliver music to the bedroom have become part of the room's aesthetic appeal. The pair of wall-mounted Waltz Grand speakers from Vienna Acoustics looks more like a piece of modern art than part of a whole-house music system. The same goes for the floorstanding Vienna Acoustics Schönberg units in the gallery. "They look right at home with the artwork," says Brisk. "Plus, they're audiophile grade, which means they sound great." The homeowners usually pick out something with a beautiful melody for guests to enjoy while they peruse the gallery. "I'll usually play the same piece through all the speakers in the house," says Patrick. It's the same with video. Although the Crestron system is capable of distributing different shows simultaneously to different displays, Patrick prefers to put the same movie or ball game on all the TVs. "After all, it is just my wife and me living here," he explains.
In the Comfort Zone
These homeowners may not be the type to constantly fiddle with their entertainment systems, but when it comes to controlling the temperature of their home, they've taken a very proactive role. Patrick blames it on the fickle Chicago weather. "One day it can be 70 degrees and sunny, and the next it's snowing," he laments. "And when your home has so many windows, trying to keep a consistent temperature becomes very difficult." The Crestron control system gives Patrick and Judith a hand by enabling them to monitor and adjust the settings of their two-zone heating and cooling system from any touchpanel. Because they don't need to interact with traditional thermostats to modify the temperature settings, the Baumeister team placed the eyesores inside a closet. Small, quarter-size discs recessed into the walls measure the temperature instead. Because the discs are so thin, the homeowners were able to paint over them, rendering them nearly invisible.
A New Way of Life
Thanks to some amazing technologies they've integrated into their modern high-rise apartment, Patrick and Judith have discovered an exciting new way of life. They're able to use special lighting effects and a whole-house music system to create a showcase for their robust collection of Outsider Art. Their connections to the film community are well served, too, thanks to a media room that features two types of displays and a hidden surround-sound system. And when it's just Patrick and Judith at home, there is plenty of music and video to keep the couple completely entertained.

I know what you must be thinking – Don't most people eat waffles in the morning? Sure, I bet most people do eat waffles in the morning. But, I usually eat waffles for dinner. Today was different! Tim and I ate waffles for a late breakfast. I have been meaning to make the Peanut Butter Waffles from Vegan Brunch for a long time and the perfect opportunity struck this weekend. We even used homemade peanut butter! We don't mess around when it comes to waffles. These were kept simple with just a drizzle of maple syrup (made locally near Tim's parents' house in the great state of Ohio).
Some roasted chopped peanuts would have been lovely on top but we didn't have any left after making peanut butter. Next time we will toss a handful of chocolate chips into the batter. Dessert for breakfast!

Is 8GB enuf memories to play addons? O.o
We get a lot of people who come here asking about "lightweight" addons. I get tired of writing this repeatedly, so here we go in one happy sticky place:
When talking about addon performance, you really need to consider two things: How much memory the addon consumes, and how much of your computer's processing time (CPU time) it uses. Of the two, CPU time is by far the one you should be caring about the most.
But I only have 2GB of memory!
For most people, WoW uses somewhere between 600 and 700 megabytes of memory. I was running about 35 addons when I took that screenshot, about 30 megabytes of memory to addons (which is already included in the big number.) Compared to how much memory the game itself uses, even if you use double or triple the amount I was there - it's a nonissue.
Yeah, if you ran it up to 200 or 300 megabytes of memory used by addons, it might become a problem. Then again, if you have a fast system with a lot of memory in it, it probably isn't a problem.
But addons kill my framerate!
Addons can affect your framerate, but that's because of addons that are poorly coded and chew up lots of CPU time. You are not losing performance because of the amount of memory an addon uses. Almost never.
Case 1: Gatherer uses a ton of memory to store the locations of resource nodes. Gatherer does nothing at all in an instance, so that memory just sits there and causes you no grief.
Case 2: Many addon authors will memoize (pre-calculate and store) data ahead of time. This might mean that when you are in combat, the result is simply a memory lookup instead of a calculation. This is done to increase performance. You are trading space, which is cheap, for CPU time, which is expensive. You are gaining performance by using more memory.
With that said, memory that is bloating in an addon for no apparent reason can be an indicator of a badly written addon. In this case, the problem is the addon using memory badly, indicating excessive CPU time used that shouldn't be and an addon that does not manage its resources well. The other side effect is that the Lua garbage collector has to work overtime to keep up with the memory churn, which can degrade performance. In this case, the culprit is still not memory. The memory usage is simply a clue for you. Note that things like Recount are a good example. Recount simply stores a hell of a lot of data.
TL;DR: Memory is the least of your concern in 95% of all cases.
Is 8GB enuf memories to play addons? O.o
True Knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
Agg's tanking guide
yes 8gb is more than enough. ( depending on which addons --- leaky addons BAD, and more importantly CPU )
I always try to prune out less useful addons.
At the same time I have some addons which definitely take too much memory cause it's either a very big addon (Carbonite) or simply seem less than neat in coding (tbag, auctioneer, dbm).
I'm not much of a coder myself, so I really can't judge all that much about it, but it seems some addon creaters just want to build too much, as in making a reasonable core and just adding more and more less usefull and more buggy coding/modules etc.
I've been using an addon called Addon Profiler which shows CPU and Memory used by active addons.
Addon Profiler - Addons - Curse
For example when I was changing my unit frames a while back, I ran tests with Underhood, Shadowed Unit Frames and Stuf all active at the same time.
I'm not really sure how accurate the assessment was, but it showed me relative resource usage (which led to me deciding on Stuf btw).
It hasn't been updated for about 4 months but still seems to work just fine.
Would be interested to hear how others assess the performance impact of their add-ons.
Broker_CPU memory does the same thing.
Nice write up.
Question however;
What truly affects FPS and how does one go about ensuring that his FPS doesn't fluctuate to the point that it drives him mad?
For myself, I always seem to avg around 20 fps. This used to be when I was using the higher vid settings. I now use lower vid settings and my fps is a bit higher.
Don't let the 120 fps fool you. I'm in a part of Ashenvale that has very little going on.
Most times I'mve going anywhere from 20 fps - 60 fps, but then there will be times where it will end up lagging for one reason or another.
Below shows which addons I currently are using ( the enabled ones ). I had to switch a lot of them off because I was finding my fps was dropping due either the amount of addons or something else, I am unsure of which.
So, back to my original question, how does one regulate their FPS so they are getting optimal fps?
Last edited by Djtk; 01-16-2010 at 07:16 PM.
I like the size of your images...
anyways there is no way to truly regulate your fps,Only thing u can do is not bog down your computer with useless addons and never go into dalaran on peak hours(I can,but not the point).
How are you able to without getting FPS lag? Does it have to do with the video card you're running?
If your computer can't handle dalaran then you should probably avoid that place.I don't have the top of the line laptop it isn't like I have the settings on the highest value,I have them on good ranges.I personally don't bog down my laptop with useless addons and stuff.
This all depends on your wow setting,your computer itself and the amount of addons that you have on.(along with some others stuff,but its good to start with these 3.)
Any addon that affects your framerate is almost certainly the same one that is cheweing excessive CPU time. That said, it's somewhat rare for addons to have an appreciable effect on framerates. In general, it's going to be your graphics card + CPU (+ system memory to a certain extent) that will dictate your framerates.
Well right now I am running a Intel Duo Core 2.8gh with a 8600gt card.
Poorly coded addons are more of a cause of degraded game performanse than anything else.
Even with a CPU capable of handling large loads and wide open expanse of memory, i've had my gameplay go down considerably when using certain addons. Neither the FPS drop nor the amount of memory used ever got to worrying levels but i started experiencing lags, random disconnects, frame misses even though my fps stayed at around 70. Rigorously replacing them with alternatives has pretty much solved the problem.
Here are a few culprits that i found that can mess up your gaming experience if used for long periods of time:
Recount: Major, major MAJOR machine killer. After 2 hrs of raiding it really messes up your pc. Even resetting the data & clearing the cache doesnt solve it. (Yup not simply a cpu/memory problem). I ended up switching to skada. Unfortunately skada & recount use different dps (not damage done) calculations so my results usually differ from others. But damage done is equal in both.
Bartender: Sad that an addon i loved so much turned out to be such a mess. Switching to dominos got rid of a ton of problems including frame losses.
FuBar: I dont know how an addon that's simply a container can end up consuming ram at such fast increasing rates. Ended up ditching it completely as i havent come across a good alternative.
Bagnon: The addon i loved and the one i'm missing a lot. But when it starts collecting info on what your other toons have in their bags/banks, the addon starts spiralling out of control.
I made this list not because i wanted to name & shame (i really loved all those addons and would immediately revert to using them again if i knew they were fixed). Problem is, the mess they create is almost invisible and it took me hours of installing/uninstalling addons to pinpoint problems. I used to run with 25-30 MiB of addons, i still end up using similar memory, except this time my gaming performance isnt going down the drain.
Thanks for that list. I used to use Bartender and Bagnon, but now I will definitely remove them.
I have never experienced an issue with Bartender.Bartender: Sad that an addon i loved so much turned out to be such a mess. Switching to dominos got rid of a ton of problems including frame losses.
As far as the Bag mod I can't comment. I use the default bags which work just fine. Personal preference I suppose, but when considering frame rates, I would assume the concern is in a raid environment. In which case how often do you have your bags open in a raid?
For Fubar I have never used it, however I find Satrina's mod Statuswindow, to work just fine.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
Haha, I can't even remember the last time I updated StatusWindow

Of course you've heard of the three famous swordsmen, but did you know that the novel is really funny, as well as replete with romance and adventure? John Lee does, and his narration plays up all three attributes to great effect. For those who need a reminder, Dumas's classic adventure presents the escapades of three of King Louis's musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, plus D'Artagnan (a musketeer in training) as they foil a few of Cardinal Richelieu's many devious plots. Amid much swordplay, they actually utter the famous line: "All for one and one for all." Lee struggles a bit with accents and characterizations early in the production. His hesitations disappear after a few chapters, however, and he gives fine voice to the rest of the madcap tale.

"What Fun!"
Reading The Three Musketeers was great fun! I especially loved the way it ended. I count it among my favorites now, and will no doubt read it again. The impressive combination of Alexandre Dumas and John Lee brought it to life for me in a way I didn't think possible. I love it!
***NOTE 1: Thanks to Audible and John Lee for making this experience possible. It was important to me that the experience be authentic, realistic, and free flowing. Through Audible's and John Lee's efforts, everything that I feared would make reading a noted classic like this cumbersome or difficult???has disappeared. Instead, it was just... amazing!
***NOTE 2: Mr. Lee, PLEASE narrate James Clavell's Shogun and King Rat! I think only you could really do them justice.
I know from whence I speak.
"Better than the movies"
There is a reason some of these books are called Classics and why the authors reputations have stood the test of time. Unfortunately, our exposure to stories such as The Three Musketeers is often through cinema and they come off lightheaded. This unabridged audio is so much better and its almost a shame that it shares the same title with the inane film version. You won't feel like you're listening to an audio version of the movie. Moreover, it is one of the best productions I've listened to on audible.com. John Lee is a marvelous reader in any event and at the top of his form in this book.
"Only a Narration Review"
I didn't make it through the whole book, some other book came up and I switch over, and haven't made it back to this one. I bought this book because I recognized the narrator from another book and I have to say that I think John Lee could be one of the best Audiobook Narrators in the World. He took a book(This one) that I really wasn't all that interested in and made every second worth listening to. Thank You John Lee Thank You
"Don't miss this book"
It's a classic, what's not to love?
The whole book was memorable. In today's society, it's easy to get lost in the language but don't let that stop you. The fight between Dartanian and the three Muskateers near the beginning was my favorite part. Especially seeing as they bonded so closely after that.
Dartanian was my favorite. He was a proud man with a good heart and fierce loyalties.
Do yourself a favor and stick with this book. Once it grabs you, you'll be hooked. If you get confused with a particular section, go back and listen again.

"Don't go to Dumas for Prose or Literary Refinement"
You go to him for action and plotting, for dialogue and badassery. His novels don't just pull you through them, they hurl you through. 3x speed was not fast enough to keep up with my interest. Les Trois Mousquetaires is pulp before their was pulp and noir before their was noir. I personally like the Count of Monte Cristo better, but I could also argue that 3M is a better-made novel. Anyway, if you like adventure books read it. If you like littttttraaaature. Get off your pretentious leather chair and read it too.
"This is one book for all. All for one?"
Much richer and fuller than any movie or adaptation I've seen before. It is an epic and long but well worth it. Who knew...
"Fun Story"
I never read the print version.
I like the ending, but I will not share that with you.
I have listen to about 30 books read by John Lee. I love his voice. He does not change his voice much when switching between characters and for some reason I find this lack of strong change more soothing then readers who constantly change their voice.
There were many parts of the story that were very funny.
If you are looking another Count of Monte Cristo, like I was, this is not it, so I was disappointed by that, but once I got into the story I really enjoy it.
"What a letdown"
I know. I know. One star?? A swashbuckling adventure novel beloved for a couple of centuries? Yeah, well.
I've tried to read this before. It had "me" written all over it: aforementioned buckling of swashes, romance and derring-do and so forth. But I never penetrated very far. There was a tone – perhaps to the particular translation I tried, perhaps to the work itself – that just put me off, exemplified by the instance of D'Artagnan selling the yellow horse after his father impressed upon him how he must never do so, and he promised faithfully that he would not. It was such a dishonorable, dishonest, ugly thing to do, in a book I had expected to be dripping with honor – and it was just the beginning.
Last year I finally went with the audiobook, on the theory that classics that have not held a huge amount of interest for me go down better read aloud. I hold the reader, John Lee, responsible for my being able to finish it with as much tolerance as I did; if I'd been just reading words on a page I think it would have ended up in the trash by page 200. I hated this. I truly, deeply hated this. I've seen at least a couple of movie versions; I've enjoyed them, somewhat, as frothy swashbucklers, of course. I always expected the book to be better, though.
One of my two Goodreads comments on the book was:
"These people are all horrible - honorless, slutty morons. And this is a classic, beloved by schoolboys for - what, over 200 years? God help us."
And that's my biggest problem with the book. Perhaps it was supposed to be ironic, some kind of commentary on honor and courage and standards and morality through the depiction of noble swordsmen who were actually men you wouldn't trust alone with a coin or a woman. I don't remember ever coming across that take on it, though.
Athos, Porthos, Aramis, D'Artagnan. These are the heroes I wanted to read about. The brave and loyal soldiers, the champions of right and defenders of womanhood and of France … I have no idea where my ideas came from – the movies, perhaps? What I found as I listened to the book was that Athos was a hypocritical prig, Aramis was a hypocritical pseudo-religious, Porthos was a gluttonous gambling dandy, and D'Artagnan a cocky young jackass. They were all four drunkards, given any opportunity; they were all womanizers, cuckolding widely and wildly, dropping whatever girl they had been bedding to move on without a pause or juggling as many as possible simultaneously. And the much-vaunted all-for-one loyalty? I didn't see it. Every single one of them was as likely to throw his buddies under the 18th century equivalent of a bus as to support them, or to leave them in assorted lurches. Then get a good laugh out of it. And the interactions between these four and the man-servants they could barely afford but NEEDED made The Comedy of Errors seem like a shining illustration of workplace harmony. It was depressing.
D'Artagnan in particular was a letdown. The whole situation of swiving the maid in the room adjacent to her mistress, and vice versa – I wanted to throttle him. A lot. For one thing – seriously? They've let prepubescent boys read this for centuries? Oh, that's just awesome. So, buckling of swashes, romance and derring-do and so forth? The swashes were askew at best; the romance was not the way Anne Shirley defines it (nor me), the doing wasn't so derring. I only made it through the whole thing because it was an audiobook with a good narrator, and because I gritted my teeth in determination to see it all the way through. It was a deep disappointment, and I hated it.
My other Goodreads comment:
"Chapter 67: Conclusion
Oh, thank God."
SciFi/Fantasy and Classics to History, Adventure and Memoirs to Social Commentary—I love and listen to it all!
"An Irresistible Romp!"
How can anyone NOT like The Three Musketeers?!? I read this when I was creeping up on adolescence, and it's as irresistible now as it was then. And though John Lee doesn't earn a four-star rating, it was wonderful to listen to. I chose him as a narrator because, even though I adore Simon Vance, the sample just told me that I'd be nodding off somewhere along the way. John Lee's performance seemed more rollicking, more exciting. And it is. He captures the personalities of each character, spot-on, and not only that: some of his vocal characterizations add to the already rich characters! What keeps him from getting a four-star rating is his oh-so annoying way of pronouncing each name with a hyper-correct and painful enunciation with extreme inflections. Plus there's a pause, as in, "said....pause...wait for it... D'ArtagNAN." It was jarring. And as it's a quite lengthy novel, it became skin-crawling as well. I don't regret choosing his version over Vance's, though, simply because his pacing, his sense of drama, and of humor, are flawless and engaging. Just be warned. You might want to consider what will be tolerable to you over an extended listening time.
Other than that, don't deny yourself this listening pleasure. Alexandre Dumas was brilliant with action, brilliant with humor, and light spirits. And his dialogue flows as naturally as anything ever written. I will be listening to the sequels. I wonder how Vance will do with their narration? I'm delighted to find out...!
"Outstanding Novel!"
The Three Musketeers is another masterpiece from the writer, Alexandre Dumas. Written with terrific skill, this novel relates the story of D'Ärtagnan and his three companions Athos, Porthos, and Aremis seeking to foil the schemes of the imposing Cardinal and faithfully serve the King. This novel contains incredible themes, intricate plots, and is a well written novel. The Three Musketeers well deserves its title among the top classics. The story kept me captivated and on the edge the entire way! John Lee is an outstanding narrator! With his incredible ability to change to the voices of the characters, he brought the novel alive. Overall, the audiobook, The Three Musketeers, is well worth the time and money!
"Great Romp"
Having seen the films I did not know what to expect. There are so many twists and turns in the emotions of the book and the story. This reading really bought out the humour.
The reading was brilliant I soon became absorbed into the story. The narrator was extremely good and after a while I was unaware of the narrator's voice and only heard the characters.
I recommend this book

AL MVP: Tigers' Cabrera defeats Angels' Trout
NEW YORK — Buster Posey has an MVP prize to put alongside his second World Series ring.
The San Francisco Giants catcher was voted the NL Most Valuable Player on Thursday after returning from a devastating leg injury and becoming the first catcher in 70 years to win the league's batting title.
Posey received 27 of 32 first-place votes and 422 points from the Baseball Writers' Association of America, outdistancing 2011 winner Ryan Braun of Milwaukee, who was second with 285 points.
Pittsburgh outfielder Andrew McCutchen (245) was third, followed by St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina (241).
Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers was named AL MVP later Thursday.
The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year, Posey set career highs with a .336 average, 24 homers and 103 RBIs for the World Series champion Giants. His 2011 season was cut short by a collision with the Marlins' Scott Cousins on May 25 that resulted in a fractured bone in Posey's lower left leg and three torn ankle ligaments.
"I definitely have a deeper appreciation for being able to play baseball," he said. "I've seen that it can be taken away quick."
Posey, 25, won the NL batting title this year after teammate Melky Cabrera requested a rules change that disqualified him. Cabrera, who hit .346, missed the final 45 games of the regular-season while serving a suspension for a positive testosterone test and would have won the batting crown if the rule hadn't been changed.
Ernie Lombardi had been the previous catcher to capture the NL batting championship, in 1942.
Catchers have won the NL MVP just eight times, with Posey joining Gabby Hartnett (1935), Lombardi (1938), Roy Campanella (1951, 1953, 1955) and Johnny Bench (1970, 1972). The other winning catchers were Lombardi in 1938 and Gabby Hartnett in 1935.
"I think anybody that has caught before understands the grind of catching, not only the physical, the nicks, the wear and tear of squatting for nine innings night in, day out, but just the mental grind of working a pitching staff," Posey said. "It's demanding."
Posey is the first Giants player to win since Barry Bonds was voted his record seventh MVP award in 2004.
Earlier this offseason, Sporting News named Posey its NL Comeback Player of the Year.
NOTES: Braun gets a $75,000 bonus, and McCutchen and Molina $50,000 each for their MVP finishes.

I like the idea of taunting in battlegrounds, making it so their next attack, attacks the tank. I think another idea that might help make tanks worth while in battle grounds would be to add some type of buff that increases the HP of all friendly units within 15 yards of the tank, or decreases damage taken. Either way, i'd like to see some type of change. I love to pvp as prot, but in Rated battle grounds, i HAVE to go arms or fury or else im just a wasted space on the roster.
Hahahahahaha, Michigan thinks it has weird weather...

Love the show finally a PVP topic concerning tanks. I have been a prot warr since BC and quite frankly the only spec I've ever really played. I love prot in PVP, some BGS I have to be creative in making myself useful but in most cases I'm normally an asset. I'm almost certain that if they removed tanking from pvp for me I would most likely stop playing WOW, the little uses we have left is what I hang on to and why I play, I know tanking pvp isn't popular, but I love doing it because there are not a lot who do. Honestly if they want to give a tank a job in pvp the way to do it is to stop having so many people that can do my job, too many races and hybrid specs can carry making me not needed as much , kinda sucks when I can't do a lot of other things but everyone can do what I do.
i think tanks are annoying right now in the amount of cc and survivability. as a dps i should be able to nuke them but what it means is .. healing and tank classes have to be nerfed and buffed because they specialize in primarily being able to out live a dps class .. i think it would be much more enjoyable if they had bonuses to other classes in the game that made them something valuable outside of just being able to take or heal through damage.
the problem is there isnt one real specific class to equalize either of these classes - such as a serious class that brings more damage to a group outside of temp buffs like blood lust and time warp ..
a talent spec to do serious harm to armored or healing classes but only moderate to survivable abilities against most other classes .. if there is a control , healing class - damage over time melee class etc - there should be a class that deals out damage based on heal over time effects or does more damage based on how armored a class is .. which im sure is present in some aspects of the game but the only other option is to just pretend that its ok for a class to be unable to die without 2 of most any other class killing them .. inside of an hour
i think this fits into the dark ranger class thats missing from the game - a damage system based on having too much armor or healing buffs .. stamina .. such as hand of protection cuases 10k fire damage until cancelled or removed every second ... or priest pws gives a 50% healing debuff 10 seconds after being removed or dispelled .. a class that has abilities that simply turmp other op abilities in the game like - spell reflection on a 15 second cd .. or granting protection from stun abilities to other players that triggers based on events and so forth .. they have done this in moderation to other classes such as the warlocks unstable affliction silencing on removal or redirecting damage.. it would be great to see a class just based off of dealing damage based on buffs dispel and armor value .. bladed armor but in reverse .. bonus damage based on protection and healing given to the player or being able to transfer it to other players ..
im fine with tanks the way they have been in pvp - i just presume that people have complained about them the same way i have for awhile now its just that - what makes it satisfying is not to see them nerf something so much as it is to kill a tank class or a considered OP spec in the game .. that is way more enjoyable than to whine about it until they change it because its just too hard to deal with it ... or because people are just not smart enough unless they can just strong arm an opponent without any sort of strategy other than using auto attack ...
it really may have been nicer just to see the tanks not get a buff but rather non tank flag carriers have a Grace period where they were harder to kill and then somewhere in the middle they would both reach a state of somewhat being just as easy to kill .. but none of this will ever really happen.
In cata we had vengeance, but it didn't power our defences. so you could deal with prot warriors, if you didn't do something stupid like try to nuke him whilst leaving his healer alone. if you killed his healer, then stunlocked him you could burn him down. I actually considered this to be the most balanced of the Tanks in pvp models for prot, becuase unlike the other tanks our vengeance or damage taken was not a factor in survivabilty unlike DK's and Pallies where it meant Big WoGs or Big Blood Shields. and unlike wrath, prot was tough to kill, and had an amazing toolbox of control, and mobility but only offensively powerful if you where stupid.
In MoP Vengeance does now fuel or defences as well as our offences, but doesn't exist outside of PVE so now there's no risk of us being offensively powerful, even if you're stupid enough to nuke the tank first, and our survivability is gone, and our unique toolbox of awesomeness and our unique mobility well every class has that, and in exchange we got some DPS CDs. unfortunately they're kinda gimped because we don't use 2Hs or don't have powerful passive damage modifiers like SMF or Seasoned soldier.
Will i be sad if prot no longer has a place in PVP, yes, i like playing prot, i liked that generally punishedf peoples own idiocy, but since the end of 4.2 they've been steadily making it less and less viable for anything PVP related, so now PVP isn't fun, its frustrating to play as prot. Playing a prot warrior should frustrate the opposition, not myself, so if they make it so that classes can't enter PVP instances whilst tank specced all the better, its a clear indication of what blizzard wants us to do, rather than the red-headed step child prot in PVP feel like this expansion.
Harsh Words and Steel: A Protection Warrior Guide
MoP RPS Calculator
Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
I can't stand prot in pvp. I've played a paladin and warrior, both end content (non heroic mode) in cata, and my paladin was geared in wrath. They're nice for flag carrying, but that's it IMO (haven't tried prot in mop yet.) with that being said, my hunter had 90%+ armor pen in wrath and was able to demolish everything without needing another person, unless it was a lock/Mage or tank/Druid combo. It would suck for them to eliminate prot as a viable spec for pvp, but I wouldn't miss it one bit. That's just my $.02.
I also live in Michigan, the weather is too crazy. 70s one day, snow next. Humidity is crazy in the summer. Every winter people drive like they have never driven in snow before. Ugh.
My crazy idea for tanks in PvP is to create a stacking raid-wide Resilience buff. The buff could have a short duration so that if the tank is stunned or kited it will fall off. It should be significant enough to be felt, but not so high that a tank is mandatory at every control point. Having multiple tanks would not bypass the hard cap, though it should make the stacking process faster, and also make it harder to remove through CC and kiting
I'll just throw out some numbers here as an example. Say a tank smacks an enemy player, now every friendly player within 30 yards gains an additional 2% Resilience for five seconds. The tank keeps beating on people and eventually caps out the buff at 10-20%.
I think Blizzard needs to do their thing and take some aspects out of SWTOR. Tanking in pvp there is one very fun, and completely viable, and in ranked warzones necessary.
The Guard aspect allows a tank to defend another player, and with the way they score multiple things in SWTOR tanks get rewarded for using guard. Being able to HoSac per say your healer for as long as they are near you allows even the squishy healers to last without having to make that class's healing be outrageous. Being able to dance your shield to anyone that is getting focused means that people can't just blow all cds and roflstomp that person. Instead you need to think and out maneuver. Either by CCing the tank, or by taking the tank out of the equation. Either way is a win for the Tank as now your focus is on the tank, and not the original target.
Taunt being able to debuff damage is again just one more thing that Tanks can use to save someone. The other thing not mentioned is Tanks can also AOE taunt debuffing multiple targets. Which is great if people decide to AOE bomb an area with alot of players.
The control that tanks have in a battle in SWTOR is awesome. Vanguard/Bountyhunter's can peel off targets with moves similar to Death Grip. Sith Assassins' and Jedi Consulars' have the same thing with Force Pull. But they can also burst of speed around to maximize the use of that ability when combined with the environments of the Warzones. Huttball is the best example for this. They can stealth, which adds more trickery to their bag of tricks.
Jedi Knights' and Sith Warriors' while they can not pull people to them, with Force Jump they can move to the targets. If they need to peel someone off a player they are protecting they can knock them back with a single target knock back. JC and SI's have a conal knockback. JK's and SW's also have an ability that works like Intervene, but rather than just absorbing the next attack it puts a damage reduction buff on the player they leap to for like 5 seconds.
JK's and SW's are also great at snaring people as they can spec to make their snare resource free, and have no cool down. Quite useful for very faster Voidstar Wins.
WAR went one step further, and gave healers and dps "Detaunt." Which which did the same thing as Taunt, only it would debuff the damage that that target did to that specific player. In case that is confusing. Say a rogue detaunted a warrior. That warrior would do 30 percent less damage to that rogue, but every other target would still take full damage. Where if the Warrior was Taunted by a tank. The warrior now does 30 percent less damage to everyone but the tank that taunted him.
I like the idea of taunt forcing the next attack hit the tank, but in a way that takes control out of the player's hand. With the state of outrageous damage, healing, and cc in WoW as it is now. The WAR/SWTOR aspects of tanks in pvp would help bring at least the damage under control. The baseline 65 percent resilience to all players I heard of is another way to help combat the outrageous damage. Still that now leaves bringing healing and Cc down so that is useful, and not overly done.
On the thoughts of CC, i still love the idea of Resolve from SWTOR. It has been improved since launch, and just the idea of being able to see how much has been built on your target, and your self is nice. As smart pvp players can use that to plan out their ccs, rather than just spamming them till finally DR's take affect. Now I know there are Addons that track DR's but lol I use more than my share as is.
with PvP in basically a PvE game. When you nerf or eliminate an ability from any class for PvP that also affects that players abilities in PvE. For example Lore stated that there is too much CC in PVP. If we remove CC abilities from a class because of PvP then that character will not have those abilities in PvE raiding. Same with nerfing any class as far as damage output goes. Who wants to put out less damage if fighting Oondasta? My mage has been nerfed over the years because of PvP. This affects my PvE play.

text: Interesting theory! White Zetsu is from Hashirama DNA, but its plausible but in my opinion unlikely about Black Zetsu being from the 10 tails. Nothing we know at present suggests the 10 tails had rational thought, but it is possible due to the thoughts of the tailed beast. It would be quite interesting if the ten tails does have a sort of manipulation, but I am doubting it

LG is making some very pretty TVs these days, and the LM6700 line is a fine example. The bezel itself is less than an inch deep, and the depth of the entire TV is ony 1.3 inches (the back is a little thicker than the edges. The TV is framed by only a thin band of metal that's wrapped around three sides of the TV (the bottom of the bezel is a bit wider). It's bound to give interior designers some creative ideas. At 55 inches, this is the ideal screen size for most living rooms and smaller home theater setups. It's big, but it won't intrude on your room when wall mounted.
This is an edge-lit LED TV with local dimming and 120 Hz video processing.
While picture quality may be the first thing that comes to mind when shopping for a TV, the first thing you'll notice about this TV is the remote. Unlike a typical remote, this one, called the Magic Remote, includes only a few buttons and is shaped like a banana. It works like a Wii controller or a gyroscope mouse used for big-screen PowerPoint presentation. When you move it, the remote activates an arrow cursor on screen. Point the courser at whatever you want on the on-screen menu and click the select button. Hard buttons for Home, Volume, Channel, 3D, Apps and Power make the most common tasks more accessible, but for most other things you'll point the remote at what you want.
It's an intriguing process, and I like that LG is developing new ways to interact with TVs, but it might not appeal to everyone. The remote really shines for navigating LG's online features. Entering a Wi-Fi password or Google searches, for instance, is considerably easier with this remote than the standard hunt & peck method of a conventional remote. It was also fast and easy to cruise though the TV's various pages of apps by just pointing and clicking. Doing tasks like adjusting the TV's video settings was a little more tedious though because it can be hard to get the onscreen pointer to stay perfectly still while you move a number value up or down. If you happen to nudge the remote while you're watching a program, the cursor will pop on screen for a few seconds. This might be annoying to some people. With time I think anyone would get comfortable with the remote, but house guests would probably be easily confused (not that house guests have an easy time controlling my system anyway). One thing I'd like to see LG add is an Input button on the remote so you don't need to go into the input settings menu just to switch from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2.
Getting to any of the TV's operations is pretty easy. Press the Home button, and a bar at the bottom of the screen appears showing things like apps, settings, 3D and more. If you don't like the remote, you can download the free Android or iOS apps to control the TV from your smartphone.
For 2012 LG overhauled its smart TV offerings. The apps are divided into sections, and you can customize the options to an extent. The Premium selections include some of the necessary standards like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, but MOG is the only music app I found. That means no Pandora, Slacker or Spotify. If streaming music is what you crave, you'll still need a receiver, Blu-ray player or separate box that can access one of those services.
The other smart TV areas include 3D World, which is an assortment of free 3D content, mostly documentaries or shorts. Those are interesting, and the 3D is cool, but the video quality is overall poor on those selections, so you might not want to use them to show off to your friends.
The other section, LG Smart World, is populated with games and lots of oddball apps. They're mostly free, so you risk little trying them out.Facebook and Twitter.

"Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn't be as good as he is today."
"At the WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on the indies is as good as NXT guys. I'd LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks "good wrestling" is."
Vince McMahon is a big fan of reality television shows, and he wants that on the new WWE Network. Many are speculating that Tough Enough could be one of the first shows added, especially after Bill DeMott posted a teaser message on his Twitter account.
Triple H and Bill DeMott extended an invitation to Diamond Dallas Page to visit the performance center, and the former WCW champion has decided to take them up on that offer.
Despite all the abuse allegations towards him earlier this year, it does not appear that WWE will be firing Bill DeMott as their lead trainer.
"It was getting tough to not be a part of it. It took me a long time to become a part of WCW, even though I was there six and a half years. That last nine months to a year, I became part of the company where I contributed more than just doing basic stuff. It was getting tough. Then I got to go to (a developmental camp in) Cincinnati, which was good because I got to help the younger guys come up. Then my house shows started tapering off, and no TV because the creative team has a lot to handle. You're not forgotten about, but they have to deal with the weekly product. So that was the toughest part. When you feel like you can go, and you're sitting. You just want to be part of it. I can't see myself doing anything else."
