You are correct. He is very confused.
I am trying to help out another tank in my guild. He seems to believe that the diminishing returns for Parry means the more you parry at the start of a boss fight the less you'll parry at the end.
Am I completely off my rocker in thinking that diminishing returns, as far as parry goes, is for the higher your rating the less parry you get for your stats ... and has nothing at all to do with how many times you can parry a boss based on how many times you've already parried the boss?
He also seems to think that somebody using DW versus a 2-hander has an incrased chance to parry. Uh..... ? really?
(He's a DK btw)

Edit: I just re-read that statement, and think I misunderstood you. The player doesn't have an increased chance to parry the mob unless the two weapons they are dual wielding have more parry rating on them than the 2 hander :P
well depends on how you want to describe your scenario.
a person who is Dual Wielding and swinging at a boss does infact have a higher rate of getting his attacks parried by the boss because you effectively swing more often. the chance at which you get parried is the same though, but since you attack twice as often, you'll get parried twice as often as well. (14.25% is 14.25%, expertise helps here)
but from the other end if a person is dual wield tanking a boss, he has no different % chance to parry as if he were to equip an exact equal stat weapon as his 2 1handed weapons and stood there tanking with a 2hander.
character sheet says 15% parry chance, means he'll parry 15% of the bosses attacks, whether he's dual wielding or 2hand tanking or barefisted whatever, that 15% is 15%

Heh, thank you all, just wanted to make sure there were no small changes that I somehow missed in some patch before telling him he needs to do more research before posting that kind of stuff.

This partial hospitalization program is part of the Willowbrooke at Tanner Child and Adolescent program, but is an intensive program specifically designed for young people with substance abuse problems.
Adolescents age 13 to 17, males and females, are evaluated on admission to the program through a clinical interview and an addiction questionnaire. The program usually lasts from four to eight weeks, and dinner and transportation are provided. The length and intensity of the program are tailored to each adolescent's clinical needs. This program is available at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton and Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica.
The family plays a critical role in an adolescent's recovery. Tanner Behavioral Health asks that the family participate in weekly family therapy and family education groups, and to help their adolescent through a 12-step program for the duration of their treatment at Tanner Behavioral Health and as a part of their after-care plan.
If you think you or a loved one may benefit from any of the above programs, please call our help line at 770.836.9551.

Avast! Mobile Security
The security or lack thereof of the Android platform - real or imagined - is a common topic of conversation at the moment so it seems like a good time to take a look for a comprehensive security app. My preferred choice is Avast!. Avast! for Android is free and carries no advertising, making it perfect for anyone who is just a …
I'm a long-time WaveSecure user and use DroidWall, but maybe Avast! is a good way of getting all this in one...
One question: free with no ads - what's their longterm business model for this? I don't want to switch to an app that's going to disappear without notice.
They have been producing free PC anti-virus programs for years. There are pay versions of the PC software for additional features. I assume they will be taking the same approach for Android and the likes.
business model
business model is simple enough, give away AV software for free to home users, sell AV for business use or sell for home use with added features. The Android app helps create awareness of the brand hopefully converting those mobile users into paying desktop users.
The big problem I see for Avast is that Microsoft now have a very decent AV program that's free for home users and small businesses and doesn't aim to induce coronary arrest every time the definitions are updated.
Larger businesses are going to use something like Sophos that has decent management capabilities.
In addition
They use the model which avg made popular. More users: less bugs and better detection rate.
If a new virus appears it will likely hit one of millions of users instead of one of thousands of paid users.
I think they will release a centrally administered corporate version and branded/ operator supplied versions. They can also sell it as a tie in to device makers who desperately need to differentiate.
"induce coronary arrest every time the definitions are updated"
You can turn off all sounds in Avast :)
Iirc, it's under Settings -> Sounds -> Disable all sounds
This is usually the very first thing I do after installing it.
antivirus test?!
me thinks you forgot something, i.e. how good / bad it is in detecting viral infections. It's no use waffling about what it claims to be able to do, without showing any results on how well it does it. Say, how effective it is in threat detection, in comparison with x number of similar products.
Spotted something
It has potentially unwanted program detection and it spotted something from android market which can be used both by white and black hats.
Deny usb debugging and deny root from internet access does a lot more in current scene. That is the part the google idiot mentioned every time when they talk about security misses.
Note that the app it does detect is on android market, it can be used for good (watch your kid) but it can also be used horribly wrong. That is way beyond google market design to cope with.
anyway,I gave up my paid antivirus which still have subscription for this since it is way more better written by people who actually cares. Mr Kaspersky should get rid of entire android app developers, not the detectors.
Wonder what this guy (google employee) would think about this product.
Other stuff.
Interesting post about anti virus! I've got AVG on my android phone for the other stuff - the stuff you use if the phone is lost or stolen.
Everyone uses for other stuff
Funny that everyone uses these apps for other functions like the anti theft you mentioned. Also the very serious threat of fake apps and cracked developer accounts.
I never enabled the actual virus checking of my antivirus until that genius who misunderstood the whole deal spoke like Microsoft before Bill Gates security memo.
I've been using this since the beta and it's improved greatly. Very little resources hit, very stable, the firewall and anti-theft for rooted phones are nice features. Downsides are that the callblocker doesn't catch calls before the phones vibration kick in (on my handset at least). I was really surprised when it came out of beta and was still free.
Three thumbs up
This is a fantastic app.
If you lose your phone (or have it stolen) you can also locate it remotely by sending a text to it from someone else's phone. You send your Avast pin with the word "locate" and you get a text message back saying exactly where the phone is.
The amount of functionality on this thing is amazing considering it's free.
That said, I installed it, played with it for half an hour and haven't gone back to it since (which is probably the way it should be with a security app).
Fantastic App
Had this on beta for a few months now and it's fantastic. The integration with Clockwork Mod in particular is quite remarkable for a freebie. Well done Avast.
Server overload...
Don't know if it's your fault for reviewing it, but the servers for the anti theft component appear to be in meltdown mode at the moment...
What accounts for the missing 10%?
I didn't read any caveats in the article so where did the missing 10% go?
Surely the question is how did it get the extra 10% over the 80% that (virtually) every item reviewed gets!
What's with the blurry screen shots?
Blurry screenshots?
They're jpeg files.
That's not JPEG compression that's causing the blur. The text seems fuzzy like the text boxes are sitting on half pixels or something. Is that because of Androids many screen sizes?
Looking at the resolution of the screengrabs in this article and comparing them with screengrabs in other reviews - including iPhone apps where the resolution of the original screengrabs definitely shouldn't be anything other than a couple of combinations - and then considering the way the Register articles are laid out with their rather narrow central column for all the article content, leads me to conclude that the screengrabs in this and other app reviews have been rescaled so that two can fit side by side in the central column, and aren't therefore entirely representative of the actual information displayed in the app itself...
Shame really, I'd prefer to see the articles illustrated with 1:1 scale screengrabs even if it means having to scroll a bit more down each page - or if the Reg design gurus absolutely insist on having side by side screengrabs like this and won't consider widening the central column just enough to fit two 1:1 grabs side by side, then at least make them clickable to open up the 1:1 scale originals.
I'll bet they get less viruses than Windoze users!
Excellent as always
As a very long time Avast user on Windows I installed the Android version as soon as it became available. So far I have't been disapointed, it does everything I expect from Avast without making any performance impact.
My only issue is the permanent Avast icon in the notification area. I don't see it in the article's screenshots, is there a way to remove it?
They put on purpose
First, it may stop script kiddies from trying something and second, if you have a device which runs into low memory events, it prevents android operating system from killing it.
It sounds weird but android picks the most invisible background apps and services to kill when there is low memory.
Notification bar
You can disable the notification bar icon in Settings - just scroll down to Show Notification Icon and uncheck the box.
Avast --> Settings --> Show notification icon -- untick
Thanks. My phone is much happier now.
How does it compare against Lookout AV Security for Android?
Remember last November's Android AV Test
How does this compare ? As a result of that one I switched to Zoner, the best of the free ones. Does Avast have better detection rates ?
Well looks good but I can't get the Anti-Theft stuff installed on my rooted Galaxy S. Googling it seems to suggest I need to remove some stuff from the system partition. Guess I'll be trying that tonight, after making a backup of course :-)
Seems to be a great app anyway and the firewall is handy to stop my kids 'borrowing' my phone to watch videos on the 3G connection rather than Wifi :-)
This may sound like a strange question but can it be uninstalled? I installed it on my HTC Desire when the app was in beta and you couldn't remove it - the Avast forums were full of people asking the same question too. The only way I could remove it was to reinstall Android from scratch using a RUU, and this kind of put me off it as a result.
The big question is
does it detect Trojan-gen ???

This paste is really very good, it makes my teeth white and bright, and very important point is the absence of fluoride, which is a toxic substance, bad to our health. Taste of paste is nice too, but if you don't like the taste of mint, I advise you to try this paste only with cinnamon taste . **** If my review was helpful for You, please click "YES", thank You.

I love the fact is doesn't contain any chemicals, nor SLS. I use it now that I am pregnant and I avoid all nasty chemicals. It is so hard to find a whitening toothpaste that actually works and is not harmful. The amount of product is huge as well, making it a very good deal for the price.

Special Collections Available
James A. Gibson Library
Special Collections Available
Special Collections include those materials that, because of subject coverage, rarity, source, condition, or form, are best handled separately from the general collections. The collection consists of two main collections of monographs, The Niagara Collection and The Masonic Collection. The materials are housed in closed stacks in a climate and humidity controlled environment, and are non-circulating; their use is limited to the Special Collections Reading Room.
The Niagara Collection
The Niagara Collection was established in 1967. It has been developed through individual purchases, donations, and grants. The collection covers all aspects of the Niagara Peninsula (former Lincoln and Welland Counties) and includes current and retrospective published materials relating to the Niagara Peninsula.
Subjects covered include: settlement history, geography, geology, military history, economics, planning, urban renewal, literature. The collection holds extensive materials on the War of 1812, the Welland Canal, and early travellers' journals.
Scope of the Niagara Collection
The Niagara Collection is intended to be a working special collection; the coverage is comprehensive and includes: the history, geography, geology and ecology of the area from the earliest settlement by the First Nations, through the French occupation, American Revolution (1776-83), Loyalist settlement and the development of communities by means of various institutions such as, church, school, business and social. The military history is part of this collection including all the local battles of the War of 1812 (with a special emphasis on the Battle of Queenston Heights and Sir Isaac Brock) the Rebellion of 1837-38, the Fenian Raid of 1866, local involvement in the two world wars, and the role of Niagara women during that period.
Transportation has played a key role in the development of the area through canals, railways and roads. The Welland Canals, the St. Lawrence Deep Waterway project (now called St. Lawrence Seaway) are a collection strength, as well as rail, bridge, and industry.
Early travellers to Niagara came as tourists to visit Niagara Falls. The Niagara Collection holds an excellent group of early travellers' accounts and guidebooks.
The geography includes the Bruce Trail, the Niagara Escarpment, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, the Niagara River and the related geology and all the attendant environmental, ecological and land use issues, including those related to hydro production.
In addition, we support the tender fruit growing and market gardening aspect of this area with an emphasis on collecting materials related to the grape and wine industry.
Niagara's cultural contributions are collected and recognized through the Shaw Festival, Brock University, the Niagara Symphony, the past and present literary works of local authors, poets, and playwrights, and the role of musicians on the community scene.
The Archives consists of primary source, unpublished materials with a Niagara focus.
Select titles of early Niagara papers on microfilm and some representative print editions and special editions are available for researchers.
Plans of the Welland Canals, land surveys of the second canal era (1840s-1850s), fire insurance plans for many local cities and municipalities pre 1900-1963.
Other Collections
Other collections include a selection of Canadiana and pre-Confederation imprints, a copy of the first novel published in Upper Canada, a small representative collection of local private presses, fine press and limited editions, special editions, an example of fore-edge painting, items of notable provenance, signed and inscribed copies, some seventeenth and eighteenth century books, scarce books, rare books, costly books and other noteworthy titles.
Search the Brock Library Catalogue for Special Collection materials. Search the ARCHEION database for archives.
A large collection of archival newspapers are available for use by researchers.

›You are hereHome›Family Adventures
Family Adventures
Your sense of adventure doesn't disappear just because you have kids, so why should your family holiday destinations be limited to the 'usual suspects'?
On an Intrepid Family Adventure you and your kids will encounter plenty of real life experiences along the way – anything from riding a tuk-tuk in Bangkok, playing football with the Maasai in Kenya or sailing down the Nile in a felucca. Whatever it is, learning and exploring in the real world opens eyes and minds in a way the virtual world never can.
Travelling companions
Is it only parents and children that are allowed on family trips?
Our family trips are just that – for the whole family. That means you don't have to leave aunties, uncles and grandparents at home. As long as there is at least one child under the age of 18 travelling with you, you're a family group. Older families should check out our worldwide adventures.
What's the minimum age for children on a trip?
We have two trips with easy-going itineraries, which cater for 2-3 year olds – Magical Morocco and Malta and Gozo Adventure.
The rest of our trips have various minimum ages, depending on the activities included. They range from minimum ages of 5,7 and 12. Our trips with a minimum age of 12 are more active and challenging itineraries, designed especially for teenagers.
Are these minimum ages flexible?
If you have younger siblings we will always look at allowing them onto trips on a case by case basis, depending on the activities on the trip and their ages. Please ask your travel agent.
Do parents and children spend all their time together?
Parent supervision is a must at all times. But we find that during free time and in the evenings, the kids tend to gravitate together, while the parents can be close by and relax or socialise with the other adults.
My child is a fussy eater. Will there be special meals for kids?
Grass-roots travel means that we try to do everything the local way, and that means eating at local restaurants. The food is always freshly made and delicious, and there is generally a great variety on offer. There are not always specific kids' menus available, so if you feel your children might be hesitant to try the food, why not try some of the local dishes at home before you go - and maybe take along snacks that you know they like.
What if my child has a food allergy?
We try to accommodate all food requirements, so make sure you advise us at the time of booking. Although we endeavour to have alternative options available, it may be difficult in some restaurants to determine if foods are 100% allergen-free. We advise that you take the same precautions as you would when eating out at a restaurant in your home country, and maybe take along snacks that you know are safe as a precaution.
Is there always a vegetarian option?
There is usually always a vegetarian option available, and most picnic and buffet style meals will have lots of salads, rice dishes and breads. However, some countries do not traditionally offer a wide range of vegetarian options, whereas destinations like India or South East Asia in general both offer fantastic ranges of vegetarian foods.
Can I get in touch with other parents before the trip?
Yes! We recommend using the Intrepid Meet Up Ap to search for your departure and get to know your fellow travellers before your trip begins.
Accommodation & Rooms
What standard can I expect the accommodation to be?
We use a range of different accommodation styles. Our on-the-ground staff inspect all our hotels regularly to ensure they are clean, comfortable and safe.
Will my family sleep in the same room?
Where possible, we will endeavour to room you and your children in adjoining rooms. All children 5 and under will always be roomed with their parents.
Will there be a swimming pool?
Swimming is always a big draw for kids, so we try to use hotels with pools where possible. Depending on how far off the beaten track the itinerary wanders, there may not be hotels with pools in the vicinity, but there may be freshwater lake or tropical bays to take a dip in instead.
Can children from different families share rooms if they like?
As the dynamic of the kids' group evolves, you may find that they want to share rooms with their friends instead of siblings etc. Once keys have been allocated, we are happy for parents to decide on the rooming arrangements of the kids as they feel suitable.
Does the hotel have TV/Wi-Fi/Restaurant?
The amenities for each hotel we use are listed in the detailed trip notes that are included with each trip.
Activities & Trekking
Can children opt out of activities if they like?
Activities are obviously optional, and it may be possible to just watch, or stay at the hotel, or do some independent exploring. Either way, parents are responsible for their child at all times, so they will need to supervise if a child wants to opt out.
We are going on a walking trip. Do we need specialist footwear for our children?
We often cover a lot of ground, especially on our family treks where terrain can be challenging and steep, and when rain is a possibility you will all need waterproof footwear with a good grip. For any trips that aren't specifically trekking, then a comfortable, sturdy pair of shoes such as trainers or sneakers will be great.
Do the itineraries cater specifically for children?
Our family experts, many of whom are parents, have specifically crafted the itineraries to make sure they run at a family-friendly pace and keep travelling time to a minimum. Plenty of free time is included for families to participate in activities that suit their interests, and group activities are designed to work around meal times.
Are there activities aimed at adults?
Our activities are aimed at all ages, and we encourage every member of the family to get involved.
Group leaders
Are group leaders trained to work with children?
Yes – our Family Adventure leaders are all experienced in working with children. They are friendly, organised and have a great rapport with the kids. They undergo extra rigorous training to make sure they can work well with the dynamic of the younger group members.
Do group leaders provide childcare?
Although we employ special leaders that have relevant experience in looking after children, they are not employed to provide childcare. Leaders are present to handle all logistics and make sure that your trip runs smoothly, but parents must be responsible for children at all times.
Health & Safety
Are western-like medical facilities available during the trip?
With most countries that we travel to there are private, western style hospitals or medical centres. With any medical issue the Family should consult with the Leader (who in turn can contact the local operational office for advice or assistance) but more importantly the family should be in contact with their Insurance provider. The insurance provider will offer assistance, advice and usually have a recommended medical centre or hospital that has English speaking medical staff and that offers a higher standard of medical care.
Should I bring a first aid kit?
While not required, it's always good to be prepared for any little bumps or bruises along the way. Without going overboard, we recommend bringing a supply of Band-Aids and disinfectant, some paracetamol, motion sickness tablets (if necessary), hydrolytes (or something similar) and any personal medical items that might be needed throughout the duration of the trip. If a family member is travelling with prescription medicine it is recommended that they travel with extra in the case of loss or if it is spoilt or damaged. It is also advisable for the family to carry a letter or prescription with them and advise the Leader on day 1 of the trip.
**If the family is travelling with medicine that needs to be refrigerated this must be advised to the sales team at time of booking. Please note we may not be able to confirm that this will be available**
All families should be advised to contact their local doctor and/or a specialist traveller's vaccination centre at least 60 days prior to departure. We should not go into the specifics of what vaccinations should or shouldn't be taken. All families MUST have comprehensive travel insurance to cover them in eventuality of an illness or medical emergency.
How safe is the transport?
We regularly check all of our vehicles to ensure that they adhere to strict safety requirements. With the exception of Burma, all Intrepid vehicles are fitted with seatbelts.
How safe are the activities?
When it comes to participating in organised activities, we use and audit trusted operators who are well aware of the necessary safety equipment and procedures, including supplying correctly fitting life-jackets and helmets.
Can we drink the water?
Your group leader will be able to offer advice on a case-by-case basis. If you are advised not to drink groundwater, we recommend that our travellers pack water purification tablets, rather than buying bottled water.
What are the toilet facilities like?
All of the hotels we use will have western-style flushing toilets. In some rural areas, please be advised that toilet facilities may be of a lesser standard than your family enjoys at home. In these circumstances we recommend carrying hand sanitation products or similar. Remember – it's all part of the experience!

9 Best Face Cleansing Towelettes
See which products wiped out the competition
Why it's great: "Completely impressed!" one pleased reviewer titles her review. "I am amazed at how well ... it removed my makeup! I didn't have to rub and my face looked fresh and clean afterwards," she writes. Another reviewer, a professional dancer, says she relies on these wipes to remove all of her heavy stage makeup. She calls them a "lifesaver" and applauds them for not leaving "any residue."

I think that there is enough stamina on the gear if you are doing ten man raiding. I'm going to keep with my haste gemming (after 7.5% hit, 15% expertise) for heroic modes. If you were raiding 25man heroics, however, I would rate stamina above haste or mastery - simply because the bosses hit that much harder.

I'm Confident in my tanking abilities so this is a challenging idea...where do i sign up!
Always happy to see someone thinking "out of the box"
I am normally a tankadin but since the implementation of Death Knights i have had to become more flexable in my role in the 10 and 25 man instances (I have respecced in the middle of 25 man Naxx to fill in a gap when needed usualy from prot to ret for dps). After reading the "Two-Handed Arms Tank" post something caught my eye. It was the statement on pallies "(You could probably come up with a Ret tanking system). "
I started thinking about how i could make a Ret Tank that would be able to put out decent dps but be able to OT as needed. I have a full set of tanking gear all from Naxx heroic (Except for Engeneered goggles and Jewelcrafting Trinkets) it seems the tanking gear has eneough +Str (which most dps plate doesn't have) to make up for the lack of +AP.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
With this build i have full 51 point in ret (i stayed away from most ret aura buffs and might buff cause our other pallie has those and since they don't stack are unneeded.)
Not sure if the last 2 points in prot are better spent in Divine Guardian or putting them in Improved Devotion Aura.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
With this Build i still have fanatacism keeping me from stealing aggro missing some of the higher damaging talents but keeps holy sheild keeping the ability to get full mitigation.
I'm Confident in my tanking abilities so this is a challenging idea...where do i sign up!
Always happy to see someone thinking "out of the box"
Question is, does GC/Blizzard mean that a Retribution Paladin (or Arms Warrior) should be able to tank 25-man bosses, Heroics, Normals or what exactly? Also doesn't this go entirely against the grain for the tank archtype in like every MMO and general common sense? Not your idea of course, the proposal from Blizzard. It's got a "we made DKs able to DPS/Tank with a gear change, why not everyone!" flavor to it. Tanks and Melee DPS are becoming more or less synonymous which is weird, well except for squishy rogues.
So back to what you are talking about. It would be interesting to see. Shields make a very large contribution to a Paladin or Warriors armor. I'd be willing to bet a mock-up in Rawr could show that you would have very high avoidance, but would take substantially more damage per hit because of the missing 7K+ armor form not wearing a shield. I think Retribution Paladin in a good set of tanking gear is probably very capable of off tanking or tanking harder hitting trash now, with a 1 hander and shield of course. I just wonder how many people have actually tried it.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
OK using the gear i have at present i have unbuffed;
Tank Specs: 24.5k health, 542 Defense, 70% (dodge, parry, block, miss)and over 3k Threat per second vs the (skull) boss Training Dummie in Silvermoon with rightous fury up.
DPS Specs: 7.78% Hit, 4.5% Expertise, 2.4k AP and 1.25k DPS vs the
(skull) boss Training Dummie in Silvermoon.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Ok this build allowed me to DPS and OT 25 man Naxx (h) only switching out between two-hander and sword and sheild i didn't have the pest dps in the raid but was steady at 1.6k dps and was able to OT on 4 horseman and Gothik where extra tanks were needed.
An interesting idea.
I specced ret to level to 80 from 70 as I had decent ret gear from PvP and offspec rolls, of course I ended up tanking most of the time anyway in normal modes on the way there, and a few 80 normal instances before I went back to prot.
I didn't find it very hard at all, of course heroics would be another thing.
We are all brothers under the skin - and I, for one, would be willing to skin humanity to prove it.
Does a ret/prot pally can tank in heroic or trash? sure, since BC already, as long as they got a correct tank gear.
But tanking or even OTing any serious boss, I really doubt it; of course if you are overstuffed for the content, yes; but otherwise, I dont think. And if you could, it would mean that the real tank's talents are broken and doesnt worth the sacrifice.
DK are different cause they dont have a real talent tree and our must have tank's talent are at the begining of each tree. Plus a big part of our armor come from frost presence, what every DK have. So we can take the most needed tank's talents and still take a lot of DPS's ones; in fact we MUST do it, cause we need the DPS to agro, since we dont have like other tank's classes many high threat move (the only one is DnD for the moment; Runetrike will be another one next patch).
Anyway, all of this will become obsolete as soon as they introduce the multi-spec ^^

Great products! We will order more!
Although still usable, intact and worn-looking, my husband was in dire need of a new wallet and key case after carrying them through thick and thin for over 20 years. My husband deserves nothing less than the best so I went on the internet to search for the perfect wallet and key case. Then I realized that if he was able to use the same wallet and key case for over 20 years, well that brand must be extremely durable and made to last! It was made by BOSCA! So needless to say, I ordered a new BOSCA wallet and key case for my wonderful husband. Both products are incredibly beautiful and will last him a lifetime. As for his old BOSCA wallet and key case? We had a farewell ceremony and finally put them to rest. Thank you for your quality products - they do make a difference!
October 10, 2013
Great Keycase
Beatiful leather and the metal loops appear to be securely attached to the case and lock tightly. To be 100% safe as I have had problems with other cases, I have threaded a small wire cable loop through each key and key case loop to prevent any problems.
October 9, 2013
Great product
This is the second of these key cases I've purchased in the last few years. I put a lot of wear on my key cases and this one stands up to the abuse. I'll keep buying these as long as Bosca keeps making them.

I'm old school - big, fat, round finger-style tones. Started playing bass two years before I saw my first pro bass player - Jack Bruce - in the farewell tour of Cream (the first time . . . ). Currently playing a '78 P-bass with Pyramid flatwounds through a mint '78 Bassman 135 head into this cab. In my humble opinion a big 15" speaker moves big volumes of air in a unique way that four tens just don't. I've played through Ampeg, Eden, Aguilar, Genz Benz, Hartke, and others I've since forgotten - Fender got this one right. The Eminence neo speaker does the job without breaking your back. The two side handles are a great improvement (I've found I don't need the supplied casters). I can dial in the tweeter if I want or not. And, I still resonate with the Fender cool factor. I'm in three very part-time bands and they all love the balance that this cab delivers. Call me extremely satisfied.

I play this with a 2013 Fender American Standard Jazz bass and an old 1975 Fender PA 100 valve head... and... wow. Just Wow... The cabinet perfectly projects the sound from the head and really allows the instrument's voice to shine through. It gives me goosebumps.

Ever since Watson and Crick worked out the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, the role of genetics in biology has grown and grown. Genetic determinism - the belief that we are controlled by our genes and that no other factor is significant - is now all-pervasive.
Over the last decade, the discipline of neuropsychology has shed light on many aspects of human thought. Brain scans, carefully structured behavioural experiments, and the study of individuals who have suffered brain damage, have taught us much about which abilities are native to humans and which learned; which abilities can be lost and what happens when they are.

"As Obi-Wan Kenobi said about the Light Sabre in Star Wars IV, a slide-rule is an ancient weapon from a more civilised age," state Chris Budd and Chris Sangwin in their book, Mathematics Galore, soon to released by Oxford University Press. The book digs up the slide-rule and a few more historical artefacts, as well as the art of country dancing, to present a pick-and-mix bag of mathematical ideas for the aspiring mathematician or the mathematically inclined general reader.
This beautifully illustrated book by the world's leading authority on African mathematics provides us with a wide-ranging introduction to mathematical intuition in sub-Saharan African cultures. These cultures are extremely diverse and expressive in their creation of designs and motifs that embody geometrical and topological ideas. No one is better qualified to tell us about it than Paulus Gerdes, who has lived and worked in Mozambique for many years.
This CD ROM, produced by the Centre for the Popularisation of Mathematics at the University of Wales in Bangor, is a most unusual mixture of mathematical exposition and modern art. A central part of the content is a gallery of sculptures by John Robinson, much of whose work takes inspiration from mathematical objects, such as fractals and knots. This work, described by the artist as symbolic sculpture, uses forms such as the logarithmic spiral, and makes connections with the forces that shape our universe.

Green Options On the Future
Call options can be used as a financing tool for fixed-cost renewable energy technologies.
the future. The seller agrees (for a price) to cap the user's future electricity cost. The electricity buyer now has a ceiling on future electricity costs, while the seller of the call option gets paid today for providing insurance. Both buyer and seller obtain a clear benefit.
Different renewable energy technologies produce electricity with different costs (peak vs. baseline). Moreover, peak costs may change at a different rate than baseline costs. So the type of energy supplied will affect what electricity cost a call seller can insure against. Also certain buyers in some regional markets will gain more value from a call option than will other buyers. All these factors should be considered when matching a call buyer and seller.
Setting a price for long-term call options is challenging. The price will depend on how these factors vary over time, and on each party's:
• Risk tolerance;
• Views and assumptions about inflation;
• 10- to 20-year forecasts for electricity supply and demand; and
• Assumptions about energy prices decades hence.
Since no reliable way exists to predict these items even from one year to the next, there is obviously no way to do so over a period of decades. The Black-Scholes options valuation method provides a ballpark estimate of the option value. The method allows one to price the risk of future events, such as an asset rising or falling in value. As noted above, options and futures already trade for most fossil fuels and even for electricity on a time scale of hours and up to a year or two in the future. Using the Black-Scholes method and longer time scales, we can estimate the value of long-term electricity price call options.
For this purpose the relevant inputs to a Black-Scholes calculation are:
• current asset price—present electric rate per kilowatt-hour;
• future or ceiling price of the asset—the buyer's future price cap;
• expected electricity price volatility—usually based on historic volatility;
• years to option expiration; and
• risk-free interest rate—frequently the 10- or 30-year U.S. Treasury rate.
To quantify the potential value of these long-term options, let's select some values for these key variables. We assumed a 5 percent risk-free interest rate (a higher rate will increase call value). The time to expiration is important in valuing a call option. We will look at the value today based on several different expiration periods: 10, 15, 20, and 25 years into the future. The value of the call increases as the time to expiration increases (all else held constant).
For two main reasons we use options that expire in 10 or more years. First, call options that expire sooner are worth less than options covering more time. Second, many renewable electricity producers enter into 10-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) to sell all production to their local electricity utility. Investors basically demand these agreements because they guarantee a market exists for the power the plant will produce. In proposing a new financial tool, we think it makes sense to propose one that works with (or around) such existing and proven

We were all pastels and florals at the recent Just A Pinch Blue Ribbon Showcase event. (More on that Decadent Dessert celebration on www.justapinch.com in an upcoming Notebook.) There were so many great discussions that sprung up during the event, but the single most asked question was how to make springtime-appropriate desserts that are also healthy.
Well, I took that on as a fantastic challenge. That very same evening I began to go through www.justapinch.com and pulled some of the Test Kitchen's favorite springtime eats.
INDIAN LAND – Members of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Mission's Women's Group took charge of menu planning and preparation of food at the Sun City Carolina Lakes Cooking Fingers Club luncheon March 11. The club meets for lunch every two weeks.

I was at a local gym the other day and noticed a sign on the wall. The sign read, "One hour of exercise is four percent of your day."
That made me think; if we're doing the exercise wrong, what percentage will we end up with? To gauge that from an efficient and exercise productivity stand point, I would say zero percent.

On the food front I cooked some Skate Wings last week. First I put some cornmeal on a plate and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Dipped the skate wings in the cornmeal, both sides and then fried in oil and butter for 4 minutes on each side. Served with sliced potatoes, onions, garlic and green pepper that was cooked in olive oil in the oven for about 45 minutes. Absolutely delicious!

Hi Kelly-Jane, I'm quite surprised I didn't come away with more than one but I think I'd have gotten into a lot of trouble with lovely hubs, who despite his protests seems to love her just as much as we do.
Hi Freya, long time no speak. She's just the best puppy. If we had a huge garden then I'd definitely want to help more rescue dogs.
Thank you all for your comments.

His spec is certainly not poor for survival sake, though I can see where he'd have trouble with threat. I find it somewhat odd that he took Abom's Might and not Imp Icy Talons, usually you'll get both from your enhancement shaman.
Judging by his spec, I'm inclined to believe his biggest problem is probably his gear, though player skill may be a factor as well. The only way I would improve his survival from his spec is Mark of Blood, that is without a complete respec. I've tanked with that spec though and it was fine for me, thus my guess that his gear is what is weak.

It was a year of first's for the Syracuse Orange. The 2013 season was head coach Scott Shafer's first year at the helm and it was also their first year playing in their new conference, the ACC. The Orange's first year in the ACC ended on a high note as the Orange defeated Minnesota, 21-17, in the Texas Bowl. Sophomore quarterback Terrel Hunt emerged as both a threat in the air and on the ground. The speedster allows Shafer to run the fast paced offense he prefers. Ashton Broyld, also a sophomore, set the school record for a sophomore with 55 catches. With Hunt and Broyld returning to Syracuse for the 2014 season, the program will look to continue to take steps in the right direction. Head to Gold Coast Tickets to get your Syracuse tickets today!
The Orange are led by head coach Scott Shafer at the Carrier Dome, which holds just about 50,000 roaring fans. The Orange have had many NFL standouts, currently including: Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams, and New England Patriots cornerback Will Allen. The Orange has had one National Championship under their belts, which came in 1959, when they beat the college football powerhouse Texas Longhorns.

The pillow is gorgeous. When I ordered it, it was described as 18" square and I really depended on it being18" square, so I was somewhat disappointed to open the box to find a pillow significantly smaller. The pillow was out of stock just after I bought it, but I see that it is back in stock now and the title has been amended to 16-inch (but if you scroll down, the old 18-inch measurement is still there - unless they amended that before this review was posted). I also bought the longer 12 x 20 inch matching pillow (and it is more like 12 x 18.5 inches - 19 inchese if one stretches the fabric from corner to corner, but not quite 20 inches). None the less, both pillows are quite beautiful. Just keep in mind that these pillows are not robust in size.
This pillow came as a surprise as I had forgotton I'd ordered it during the Christmas rush. It was so delightful to open up and see such a beautiful pillow. I have a large dining room with a peacock theme and the pillow is perfect for one of a pair of gold wingback chairs at the far end of the room. It was very complimentary with my peacock theme and the entire Christmas decor collection which was entirely in peacock colors of teal, turquoise, fuchsia, greens and gold. And it was at a very reasonable price for the craftmanship!
The colors are vibrant (very true to the picture on the 'site) and the workmanship is wonderful. I purchased this pillow strictly as the middle decorative pillow on my couch--just for looks, not to touch. The fabric, while lovely, is not soft. If you want a silky-feeling pillow this is not for you, but if you want a gorgeous decorative pillow this is perfect for the peacock-lover.
I love this pillow--it is well constructed with quality fabric and displays beautifully on my bed. The colors shown in the online image are just as beautiful and brilliant on the actual pillow. This, like all my other purchases from "the O," arrived in a timely manner.
I ordered this pillow for my new condo master bedroom and I couldn't have been more pleased! It arrived quickly and is just beautiful! I have a thing for peacocks and this is going to be a perfect accent piece and pop of color in my bedroom. So glad I found it on here. Snap it up when it is back in stock. You won't regret it. * the background of the pillow is a lovely sage-y green. It's not overwhelming, but it is NOT white, cream, or ivory. Don't assume soemthing is wrong with your monitor. The color is exactly as appears.
Very elegant.Happy with quality and color.Would recommend this accent pillow.
This pillow is the perfect accent for any room! I have it on my bed and love it!
I ordered one of these pillows. it arrived and is stunning, and, I think a good value for the money. As others have mentioned, it is a bit smaller than you expect, but perfect for an accent pillow. I am ordering a second one so that I have a pair.
The peacock pillow is just as it looked in the picture...BEAUTIFUL! The material is excellent & it looks gorgeous in it's space.
My livingroom is dcorated around the color peacock blue. I recently obtained an occasional chair in the peacock color. I liked it but the addition of the Peacock throw pillow made every one that saw it gasp with appreciation. The main color of the peacock matched perfectly and the beautiful tail feathers aranged over the edge of the pillow could not be more perfect.! It has made my room and allowed me the name of "perfect decorator." Thank You!

This Friday, Harmony Korine's provocative new film Spring Breakers hits UK screens - an orgy of bikini-clad girls, booze, drugs and guns in the sunshine. Shot on location in Panama City during Spring Break last year, and using real revelers as extras, the film stars James Franco as Alien, a rapper, drug-dealer and 'gangster-mystic' who plays dark angel to four college girls gone wild: Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine (Harmony's wife and mother to their young son), who rob a restaurant to go on Spring Break. At the recent SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, Grazia's Jane Mulkerrins caught up with the cast to talk about the rather novel experience of making the movie...
'I had been a part of something for a while that I was incredibly lucky to have done, but I wanted to do something that would be really different for me,' admits Selena Gomez, the former Disney Channel actress who plays Faith, the only one of the four girls apparently possessing a conscience and boundaries in the film.
The 20 year-old ex-girlfriend of Justin Bieber admits that the debauched, drug-infused film may not be the first place fans would expect to see her post-Disney. 'It's a transition time for me, and it's a little awkward, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and see how far I can go,' she says.
And she certainly wasn't worried about shocking her parents. 'My Mum is my manager and she is a huge Harmony fan, so she was the one who gave me the script and then watched all of his films with me'.
'It was definitely a unique experience,' says her co-star, 26 year-old Rachel Korine. 'My character, Cotty, is very wild and immature, so all day I would live in this chaotic world, and then have to go home and be a wife and a mother and make sure Harmony took his vitamins.'
'I had some wild child days that I could tap back into, but the guns and the violence were the bits that I found difficult to handle,' she admits. 'And the scooters. I was terrified of the scooters we had to ride. I would start shaking at scooter practice, while Selena was doing wheelies up and down the pavement.'
None of the four lead actresses had ever been on a Spring Break of their own before shooting the film. 'It helped that most of the people around us were real Spring Breakers,' says 23 year-old Ashley Benson, best known as a daytime soap star in the US, who plays Brit in the film.
'All the party scenes were real – we were thrown into these hotel rooms and those were our real reactions. Girls would be getting naked and making out with each other, and we'd be like, "Wooah".'
For his role, James Franco, one of Hollywood's busiest actors, spent a year collecting material to build up the hilarious and creepy character of Alien, he revealed.
'Harmony is a great researcher, and sent me websites and links, interviews, songs, sometimes about how a person sounded, or how a person looked – and they all went into this soup for a year,' says the 34 year old actor, director, author and university lecturer.
'Then sent me some camera-phone footage of this white guy with dreadlocks in a car, rapping, I couldn't even understand what he was saying. Harmony told me he was a model for my character.'
Franco travelled down to Florida, and befriended the rapper. 'His name is Dangeruss – he's in a scene in the film,' says Franco. 'I spent a lot of time with him, and he really shared his life with me. I took some of my dialogue straight from things he told me.'
The physical transformation Franco underwent - including hip-hop style gold grills, metal jewellery for the teeth - to get into character presented its own challenges, he admits. 'The grills were cool – mine were fake, not cemented in like those of many people I met down there – but I hated the cornrows. The itch; it was horrible'.
Spring Breakers is released on Friday April 5

Even if Staggering Stomp gave RP it would be almost irrelevant. By the time he casts stomps, the classes with the ability to pull agro will be switching to Snobolds, and your threat lead will be high enough that it is a nonissue.

Well, yeah, threat isn't the issue, but if you can get a bunch of RP, why wouldn't you want to? Like I pointed out, you won't be using AMS for Gormok otherwise.
The (Old) Book on Death Knight Tanking
The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
that's true satorri, but i would argue this is a situational and gimmicky use of AMS. Not only that, but DK's should be equipping themselves such that they can sustain enough RP generation to fill cooldown deadzones anyway.
if there's little to no spell damage in the fight, then sure, it doesn't hurt to use it in this fashion. but it's certainly not advisable to do this within the first 5 seconds of any given boss pull.
there are examples that could loosely fit into the OP's paradigm: for example: when pulling Onyxia, she usually gets off at least one Flame Breath attack before the tank can get her all the way to the rear of the cave. this is a great time to use AMS, especially since healing can be tricky on this pull. but here again, the use was not to inflate RP, but to prevent a magic damage spike. RP gain was a residual benefit. there should never be a situation where you need to use AMS as an RP-inflation ability. If you've glyph'd and talented properly, you should never have to, especially given how niche of an RP generator it is.
Funny sidebar. I made a fun Unholy spec that relied heavily on Death Coil/Unholy Blight. There are several fights, Ony included, but basically every encounter in ToC, where there are specific moments you can pop AMS and spam DC for a 4-5 CDs. On Ony I managed to get Unholy Blight ticking at 2k per second by AMS'ing her Deep Breaths. That was cathartic.
The (Old) Book on Death Knight Tanking
The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
see now there's an interesting synergy. something good came of this discussion after all...
According to the latest posts on AJ, AMS is currently bugged to give RP on any damaging attack, though it does not absorb any damage. There are a few fights where using AMS at the start of it could be worthwhile to gain the extra RP (even if it "isn't necessary").
Updated talent builds to improve damage mitigation in preparation for Patch 3.3. Also added Tips and Tricks section for Hysteria usage.
Note: I can confirm that AMS does still give free RP when taking melee damage, it just wont mitigate the damage. Will post up video evidence soon.
You also managed to ignore all of the glaring misinformation and poorly thought out specs that we pointed out earlier. Guides don't work when they guide in the wrong direction.
I must admit, the past few days having people come here to "educate" us poor tanks over on tankspot has really touched me, except they all seem to have no clue. The Frost spec guy made me want to beat my head into a wall, and this guy makes me feel bad for all the work Sato put into his bad ass blood guide.
The Pwnstar Puddin, Now in a Fun Sized Goblin Shell.
PS Sato, I like to scare the tanks on Emalon while I am on the adds by running into melee range with the adds during overload and popping AMS for a quick RP boost. Helps if an add spawns right on your boss tank and you have stupid hunters/rogues.
The Pwnstar Puddin, Now in a Fun Sized Goblin Shell.
Ha ha. AMS is a great spell.
I've been contemplating writing an article on all the tools that many DK's do not get best use out of. Spells like Empower Rune Weapon, Blood Tap, Death Pact, Army of the Dead, and even AMS to a degree.
Also, I do appreciate that people want to contribute. While I share the disappointment that some of the people who try to don't seem to really understand what they're doing, I'd rather not taunt them into submission, but point out things they need to learn and hope that as they do, they keep the desire to share ideas. The community can always use smart people who think differently, that's where we get new innovations from, sometimes.

You know you can cast icy touch while the target is in midair from a deathgrip, so not really lose a GCD. Didn't read anything much else in the post though, sorry, once I saw Satorri and Splug and a few others already active.
The DK tank site: pwnwear.com.
I don't want to taunt either... but he has 2 pages of people telling him mistakes, and his only edit is to revise the date and add in even MORE misinformation
**Cheer Edge**
The Pwnstar Puddin, Now in a Fun Sized Goblin Shell.
There really hasn't been 2 pages of pointers about places to change. After running some numbers through a few parses from my raids I did decide to change my talent spec options because they made sense.
I also updated the wording a few of the areas where I felt necessary based on feedback from the forums.
At this point the only thing I am thinking needs editing before a Patch 3.3 update is the talent spec to something more like Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft.
If you still have beef with certain areas by all means please feel free to point them out to me with some intelligent counter arguments.
Just because it is fun. All those whining about my builds can refer to Suno's Fireside Chat - DK Endgame Tanking (Updated) - Elitist Jerks over at Elitist Jerks. Odds are you will find my Blood Tank talent build a bit familiar. =)
I think it's important though, to make sure that newer tanks realize that these cooldowns are not reactive in the sense that "oh my god, I've dropped below 10%! I need shield wall to save me!" Shield Wall will rarely save you if you get yourself into a situation where you've already taken a huge hit, are extremely low on health and have another big hit incoming. Where these abilities will save you are when you know big damage is coming, or you know that heals will be tight. Your Onyxia landing is a good example. If you wait until Onyxia hits you during the fear to pop your cooldown, then you may already be at 10k HP when the fear is over. At that point, a shield wall won't keep a cleave from killing you, while if you pop it right at the fear, your shield wall will only let you drop to maybe 20k, at which point you can easily survive another hit.
The point is that these cooldowns need to be planned ahead and used proactively. And when you know there isn't a known damage spike coming up, there is nothing wrong with using a cooldown just to make life on the healers easier. If you know that you as a tank aren't taking too much damage, but the raid is taking huge damage, again, a cooldown, especially when announced to the healers, can make it easier for them to concentrate on the raid.
I just think it's a mistake for people to use the word reactive when talking about the use of tanking cooldowns.
Suno is an idiot, first off. Linking to his "Fireside chat" is not a good way to start off a legitimate guide. EJ has gone downhill steadily for the past 2 years.
On the flipside, your spec is actually closer to decent now. You removed the pointless talents and got talents with worth. The only problem I have with either is that you STILL have scent of blood, a talent largely worthless in the 3/3 form.
You have Rune of Stoneskin Gargoyle listed as always better even if you don't need the 2% stamina, which is simply untrue. There are a lot of situations where fallen crusader would be better, and even a few situations in ICC where I imagine Spellbreaking may be superior.
You have a rune dump for AoE before you use your remaining blood runes. Wrong.
You are still wrong about AMS and its applications. It isn't hard to test, and I can only assume you are getting another RP buff from somewhere in your raid, or proccing SoB.
Is again, MASSIVELY wrong. Vampiric Blood is one of the best reactive cooldowns in the game, and using it freelance is just irresponsible as a DK tank. Most people probably do underuse it... but there is a huge difference between hitting it nonchalantly and using it strategically.By often I mean that the only reason not to use Vampiric Blood right when it is up, would be if you are fighting an encounter or boss that has a known ability which you are saving it for.
Is still, again, completely idiotic. You lose out on a taunt or pull later in the fight when you may actually need one at the gain of 0 threat. Opening with ANY ability is generally a much better tactic against heroic packs, and opening with any ability is ALWAYS a better tactic against a boss that's immune to DG. Hell, the mocking blow effect will wear off 99% of the time before bosses even get to you.Not only is Death Grip a class defining ability with it's super cool graphic, it also happens to be the ONLY ability you should ever use when pulling mobs and bosses. This is not only due to the fact that it pulls your target directly to you (bosses and some mobs excluded), but guarantees that the target will attack you for 3-seconds making it impossible for silly DPS to pull aggro while you are getting the boss into position. Start EVERY fight with this ability to generate initial aggro.
The only time I would agree with this is pulling away from larger packs in a heroic where there would be a chance of agroing, or pulling caster mobs first so you can DnD everything easily. Sadly, we both know that wasn't your application.
How many times do we have to tell you that this is wrong?By now you should already know that Anti-Magic Shell is a handy method for mitigating spell damage as a Death Knight tank, but you might not be familiar with it's use as an early fight threat generation ability. One of the areas where Death Knights can run into trouble is if your attacks and Rune Strikes get parried or dodged a lot early in the fight due to the nature of random numbers. This is why Anti-Magic Shell should always be used at the start of the fight as well since it also grants free runic power based on damage taken. In a boss encounter, this roughly equates to a free bar of runic power per hit allowing you to spam Death Coil in-between rune abilities and thus generating extra threat at the start of the fight to lock aggro against your DPS raid members.
Unless you are using 4 piece Ulduar set (where you will gain 2% RP of 10% physical damage absorbed) this method is a complete waste the majority of the time. Most bosses simply do not cast magic spells at the start of a fight.
Also. Again. Rune Strike can NOT be dodged or parried. It says it extremely large on the tooltip.
