Maybe we should be patient and just draft one, develop someone on the practice squad or pick up some undrafted "talent". Although this article addresses #1 talent, the same could be said for a slot WR.

[URL="http://search.espn.go.com/john-clayton/"][IMG]http://a.espncdn.com/i/columnists/Clayton_John_35.jpg[/IMG][/URL] By John Clayton
Pity the teams in desperate need of wide receivers.
Finding a No. 1 receiver may not be as hard as finding an elite quarterback, but the mission certainly adds peculiar colors to general managers -- either gray hairs or pink slips. Each place a general manager turns -- whether it's free agency, the trade market or draft -- he finds dangers.
So what is the best way to find a top receiver?
Obviously, the best way is through the draft. Being patient with a drafted receiver and developing him is the safest way. Patience finally paid off for the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=phi"]Philadelphia Eagles[/URL] and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyg"]New York Giants[/URL] after years of being pressured to hit free agency hard or pursue trades.
The Eagles are set for years with the receiving corps of [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11283"]DeSean Jackson[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12579"]Jeremy Maclin[/URL] and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9695"]Jason Avant[/URL], who just signed a five-year extension to be the No. 3 receiver.
Thanks to the development of Steve Smith and other young pass-catchers, the Giants were able to withstand the loss of Plaxico Burress.
The Giants didn't panic after [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2139"]Plaxico Burress[/URL]' incarceration and now have come out ahead with [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10495"]Steve Smith[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=12586"]Hakeem Nicks[/URL] and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11329"]Mario Manningham[/URL].
Meanwhile, [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2622"]Steve Smith[/URL] of the Panthers has been a No. 1 receiver for years, but he was drafted as a developmental receiver who offered return ability. The only problem with using the draft is the time it takes to see results. It takes a two- to four-year commitment to revamp a receiving corps with the draft. If it works, the next problem is locking those receivers into long-term contracts. Only stable organizations that aren't turning over coaching staffs and front offices can handle that mission.
Like everything in life, teams are looking for the quick fix. Recent history has shown teams that it might be better to pursue a trade rather than count on free agency to fix desperate receiving needs.
Naturally, general managers hate using draft choices to trade for top receivers. The landscape changed even more when Jerry Jones and the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=dal"]Dallas Cowboys[/URL] overspent in draft-choice compensation for [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5532"]Roy Williams[/URL]. The price of a No. 1 wide receiver is considered to be a first- and third-round pick. Jones gave the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=det"]Detroit Lions[/URL] a No. 1, a No. 3 and a No. 6 and was given back a No. 7 to balance the trade.
Williams has been more of a No. 3 receiver than a No. 1, catching 57 passes for 794 yards and eight touchdowns in 25 games in Dallas. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10147"]Miles Austin[/URL] came off the bench last season to become QB [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5209"]Tony Romo[/URL]'s top receiver and ended up going to the Pro Bowl.
The Williams trade has clearly impacted the past couple of wide receiver deals and should have an impact on the trade value of Denver's [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9705"]Brandon Marshall[/URL]. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8418"]Braylon Edwards[/URL] has No. 1 receiving talent, but the Browns traded him to the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyj"]New York Jets[/URL] during the 2009 season for a No. 3, a No. 5 and two Jets backups.
In fact, if you look over the past six years, it's better not to invest a first-round choice in a trade for a wide receiver. The Seahawks didn't get the full return for the first-round pick they used to acquire [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3593"]Deion Branch[/URL] in 2006. Branch hasn't done better than a 725-yard season in his four years in Seattle and has started only 37 of 64 possible games.
Teams interested in trading for Marshall simply might not be willing to give up a first-round pick even though he's young and has had three consecutive 100-catch seasons. Marshall's off-the-field issues could leave him vulnerable to an eight-game suspension or more if he has another misstep. [B]Plus, the team that acquires him will be forced to pay him more than $9 million a year.[/B]
The Broncos could decide to keep Marshall if the Seahawks or other teams won't offer more than a second-round choice in a trade. The only problem with that is he's still going to demand No. 1 receiving money.
The simple solution for teams in need of wide receivers is free agency, but don't expect return for the investment. The Bengals gave [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2209"]Laveranues Coles[/URL] a four-year, $27.5 million contract and cut him after one year. In 2008, the Jaguars gave [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2178"]Jerry Porter[/URL] a six-year, $30.4 million deal and cut him after a season. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2898"]Drew Bennett[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4532"]Kevin Curtis[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3541"]Donte' Stallworth[/URL] and others have failed to live up to $5 million-a-year contracts.
Drafting receivers in the top 10 also has its pitfalls. The failures outnumber the successes. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10447"]Calvin Johnson[/URL] of the Lions, [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5528"]Larry Fitzgerald[/URL] of the Cardinals and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4461"]Andre Johnson[/URL] of the Texans have soared, but their successes have been topped by the failures of [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10453"]Ted Ginn Jr.[/URL] (Dolphins), [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8422"]Troy Williamson[/URL] (Jaguars), Roy Williams, [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5534"]Reggie Williams[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2556"]David Terrell[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2557"]Koren Robinson[/URL], [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2135"]Peter Warrick[/URL] and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1759"]David Boston[/URL]. The latter five are all out of football.
The smart thing for a team to do is target particular receivers, be patient and don't overspend in draft-choice compensation. The Ravens waited for more than a year to acquire [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4512"]Anquan Boldin[/URL] from the Cardinals and were able to reduce what was once a first-round price to third- and fourth-round picks, while getting a fifth-rounder in return.
The Seahawks and other teams interested in Marshall would be wise to wait out the Broncos and try to get him for a second-round choice and maybe a couple of extra picks sprinkled in.
What will be interesting in April is to see what happens to Oklahoma State wide receiver [URL="http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2010&id=25715"]Dez Bryant[/URL]. Bryant definitely has top-10 talent, but taking him in the top 10 could be dangerous. He didn't play last year and he hasn't been healthy enough to run a 40-time for teams.
The key to acquiring a top receiver is not giving up too much to get him. That requires patience and control, qualities hard to maintain in a quick-fix society.

... thought i was in teh hamper for a sec ...
IMO we should stop these pipe dreams and draft somebody on the second day or sign a street UDFA after the draft for the backup slot receiver position.
As for the season, I wouldn't be surprised to see LT lined up there on a lot of plays with Shonn in the backfield
which, as far as punts were concerned, was a huge problem last year once Leon went down. Cotch tried but it reminded me of the year they decided to force Chrebet to do it and he signaled for the fair catch 90 percent of the time. Brad Smith was better than expected at KO returns but far from a "burner" IMO
Drafting a WR to play the slot should be a pretty safe bet. We really don't need any superstars here just someone with reliable hands who can run good routes. This is the #3 WR, we really shouldn't be spending too much on them.

Agreed. I'd like them to draft Kyle Williams out of ASU. I really like this kid the more I see of him, and he can probably be had for a 5th or 6th.
aundrae allison :yes:
Find a way to get Stuckey back without overpaying.
I'm coming around to the idea of signing a released player like Laveranues Coles, or using one of our eventual few UFA signings on someone like Josh Reed as a short-term stopgap, AND drafting someone like Jacoby Ford, Jordan Shipley, Andre Roberts or Emmanuel Sanders, whoever is available in Round 4. The vet can man the position for a year or so, and the rookie can be groomed behind him as a long-term answer. Plus, it gives us some depth at the WR position for once.
Blair White ftw.
If healthy, I would like to see Leon Washington givin a shot at the job.
sign Kevin Curtis
Golden Tate please.
[QUOTE=Copenhagen;3530738]Find a way to get Stuckey back without overpaying.[/QUOTE]
You still have my all time fav avatar Copenhagen....however. Stuckey is super overated on these forums in my mind.
and that's the problem with keeping clowney on the active roster. can't play special teams, isn't a slot wr, can't block. small wrs better be either shifty or very fast, not sure clowney is fast enough to make a difference.
Where's Savage69's avatar when you need it?
[QUOTE=Green Jets & Ham;3530603][B]Emmanuel Sanders [COLOR="Red"](SMU)[/COLOR] or Antonio Brown [COLOR="red"](Central Michigan)[/COLOR] [/B]
Both possibilities in RD 4 and IMO both have a chance to excell out of the slot
.... and both are accomplished return men too[/QUOTE]
Well you know me, i'm all over Brown. I think he can be had in the 5th and would be make a quick and effective transition to slot.
If we go WR in rnds 1 or 2 (i hope not) it better be for someone to start out at the end (Thomas,Benn,) and move Cotch in the middle.
Its garbage talk about spending a pick on slot so early.
ps. rnd 4 wr? -D. Alexander.. :yes:

Doc develops RSI-reducing rolling mouse
Could this mouse reduce your risk of developing repetitive strain injury? Creator SmartFish thinks so. SmartFish ErgoMotion Mouse SmartFish's ErgoMotion Mouse is essentially a standard mouse mounted on top of a tilt-and-pivot joint and a baseplate. The idea: as you steer the rodent around, your hand rolls and pitches rather …
Hang on -- the guys developed a "mouse" that encourages extension of the wrist and he calls it ergonomic? Last I knew, wrist flexion during dextrous tasks put excessive pressure on the tendons.
It also risks causing over-rotation of the wrist -- for a right-handed moving left, or a left-hander moving right, it means the palm moves beyond parallel to the desk, and parallel is the extreme of comfortable motion.
If you want an ergonomic mouse, buy a joystick.
Wrist flexion pain is a sign of injury not the cause
Any fine motor movement becomes painful once your wrist becomes inflamed. The cause is increased pressure of fluid in your joints, which can only be alleviated with movement. Once that fluid is pushed along, pre sure is removed and the pain of wrist flexion or fine motor movement should be alleviated. Check out this recent review: http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/buy/deluxe-computer-mice/comment-page-1/#comment-2901
Jack Atzmon inventor of the Smartfish Mouse
Sidewinder Commander
Looks effectively the same as Microsoft's Sidewinder Commander. Wonder if it is just as ridiculously difficult to control.
This article needs a video
To show how it moves around.
Great idea.. but design an adaptable frame to holster existing mice (laser i'd suppose, maybe optical with a lens or something)
I'd really want to see it in action too.. my RSI crippled gamer hands might no longer be able of making these drastic rolling motions :P
interesting idea
The problem with the a pedestal attachment is that it would make the mouse too tall. Our mouse is actually half a mouse built on a short pivot creating a pivot mouse with the equivalent height of an ordinary mouse.
You had me till "chiropractor"
though I suppose "former" goes some way to alleviate that...
Cool idea
It not only reduces wrist strain, it also greatly minimizes the amount of desk space needed to operate it on, since you don't need to move it around. One of those great ideas that I would think "That's so simple, I would have thought of that"... except that I didn't.
The only drawback might be a tendency to move up/down when clicking the buttons, but if the whole mechanism is stiff enough and teh buttons sensitive enough would not be a problem.
Well done & good luck
Not very useful
Surely no-one operates a mouse with their wrist off the desk, as shown in the videos on their website. Smells like a solution in search of a problem.
Good point
We only showed the wrist off the desk so you would be able to see the mouse movement better. We will address this in our next video.
Thanks for the feedback.

It's not what you've got, it's how you use it
> "When using a static mouse, the hand, wrist and arm are confined to a fixed position that limits natural movements,"
Only if your rodent forces you to clamp a paw over it to drive it, as the bog-standard sized ones do. OTOH I can work a miniature rodent with my fingertips - I buy 'em for £3 by the bucketload, and if they only last 6 months WTF.
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
Smartifsh may say they will ship to a UK address, but they haven't told Amazon payments that, so you can't order one anyway.
Dr as in "Dr Nick"
Simply looking at it, it seems obvious that the carpels will be doing *more* work than with a regular mouse! Using a wristpad, a trackball, sitting correctly at your desk, adopting a dvorak or colmacs keyboard layout that reduce finger travel ; those are solutions to RSI (which in the main part is caused mainly by bad typing posture rather than mousing).
Then I saw... as recommended by a chiropractor. Bazinga confirmed.
That lovely bunch of ch*rlatans who aren't answerable to, or registered with the general medical council, aren't usually permitted to prescribe drugs, who on occasion don't "believe" in vaccination, and don't bother with a little thing like double-blind case studies to support their claims... but somehow get away with calling themselves "Doctors" and manipulating the spines of children (and relentlessly pursuing critics with legal action).
I've heard a first hand account of a person hobbling into A&E with a broken bone in her foot. Her chiropractor had put the pain down to a spinal alignment problem and for the previous month had been giving her twice weekly spinal manipulations at fifty quid a pop. My own aunt was fleeced by these wiseguys who had no problem doing some joint cracking on the (recently broken) arthritic wrists of an 85 year old.
If their previous is anything to go by, they can shove that mouse up their 10th charkra and call it "medical science".
This mouse was not recommended by a chiropractor!
This mouse was invented by a Doctor of Chiropractic and designed in collaboration with the USA's number one orthopedic hospital, the Hospital for Special Surgery.
It is universally accepted that movement and postural change is the key to comfort and injury avoidance, our designs put this ergonomic principal to work on desktops.
Jack Atzmon
CEO, Smartfish Technologies
Ah, but...
But does it come with a charger stand like my MX5000?
My personal RSI attacks...
...have been brought on by:
(1) a touch pad. That was easy to fix: I won't buy or use a PC with a touch pad. If forced to use one, I plug in a mouse.
(2) the scroll wheel on a mouse. That was also easy to fix: I took the top off, filled the scroll wheel bearing with cyanoacrylate (superglue to the unwashed) and reassembled it. In case you're wondering, I needed to stop the wheel from turning so I wouldn't reflexively spin it. Everything else on the mouse still works as expected because I was careful where I put the glue. Scrolling? Thats what the arrow and PgUp/PgDn keys are for. Result: no more RSI in my left (mouse) hand and no need to buy a fancy medically approved mouse.
Doesn't seem to ship to the UK
If there's a UK shipping option on their website I can't see it - I get sent to amazon.com, which refuses to ship the mouse to a UK address.
Sorry for the inconvenience
I will cheek our website and have this remedied immediately.
Jack Atzmon
CEO, Smartfish Technologies
What does 800dpi mean for a device that pivots like a joystick? How does it perform nonlinear motion if you can't pick it up like a mouse or reposition your finger like a trackpad? With 2560x1600 being the new standard resolution, I can't imagine pointing to things with linear tracking. It would be like trying to support a telescope with your hands.
Not a joystick
It's a laser mouse with a pivot built solely to increase in comfort and improve ergonomics.
So much for shipping to the UK
"SmartFish said it will ship to UK-based buyers."
Perhaps it should tell its Amazon shipping partner about that. I get:
"We're sorry. Your items can't be shipped to your selected destination. Please select a different shipping address."
Amazon's had no trouble shipping to that address before, even from the US.
Hear that #ker-ching#? No, me neither.
Just a joystick?
I don't see how this can replace a mouse.
A mouse is a relative input device - this looks more like a joystick, which is absolute.
The device *could* be relative (ie if it is sprung to the center) but then you would not be able to pick it up to recenter.
Re: Just a joystick?
It's mouse - it moves around the desk. The tilt and pivot bit is nothing to do with control per se, only the angle at which you hold it at a given place on your desk.
Not a joystick?
"It's mouse - it moves around the desk. The tilt and pivot bit is nothing to do with control per se, only the angle at which you hold it at a given place on your desk."
Then it's too high off the desk for comfort at all.
It is the same height as standard ergonomic mice
In fact while being tilted it is even shorter than standard mice.
Why are there two prices? Both in pound sterling?
"Available now, the ErgoMotion Mouse costs £50 (£32). SmartFish said it will ship to UK-based buyers. "
Alternatively, for a fiver...
...I'll sell you a mouse mat with a hump.
So, an ergonomic mouse which still uses a wheel. Errr.
The one thing I find makes my wrists worse than anything is a scroll wheel, which this still has. Wouldn't a scroll switch or even some sort of touch sensitive scroll pad be better?
Won't ship to UK yet, AFAICS
The fine article ends by saying Smartfish says it will ship to UK customers. But trying to buy direct from its Web site routes you to Amazon for payment - and Amazon.com will NOT ship to a UK address. It says so explicitly. As for Amazon.co.uk, it has no knowledge of the product.
So Smartfish may have the best of intentions, but as far as the UK is concerned this product does not yet exist. Unless you happen to be travelling to the States, or have friends there.
Shipping is Available
Shipping to the U.K. is available, and we have already sent out lots of ErgoMotion Laser Mice to the U.K.
Please check our site again
best rsi reducing pointing device
in my experience is a trackball I got for 20 quid from PC World.
Would this be ...
... the bullshit type of chiropractor? From the 'clinic' website:
"Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that the power that created the body can heal the body - as long as there is no interference. The doctor does not heal you, he is a co-facilitator with you for your body to be put in the correct environment to heal itself. The main purpose of the chiropractor is to reduce interference to your inborn, innate healing ability."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I seeeeeeee.
Can't wait to get my hands on this pointless overpriced wobbly mouse thing. The guy obviously knows what he's talking about. What a co-facilitator.
looks funky, but....
where is the bluetooth version! i only have a finite number of usb sockets and I have a real aversion to having stuff poking out of my laptop, spoiling its clean lines...
The trouble is most RSI that I've seen from using a mouse is from large amounts of left clicking, especially in graphics designers, and users of software like Photoshop.
I've yet to see a mouse which targets this problem well...
Based on the false notion that people should flail around with a mouse on the end of their arm.
The 'heel' of my palm hardly ever leaves the mouse mat or moves providing comfortable support for my arm without downward pressure on the mouse. Bending and straightening fingers (thumb and little mostly) gives all the up/down motion I need and pivoting at the wrist all the side to side.
I have spent thousands of hours using mouse and keyboard for CAD software and gaming. The only strain I have experienced occasionally is in the shoulder of my keyboard arm.

Grazia Daily reported back in April that H&M are set to launch a new luxury womenswear brand called '& Other Stories'. In September, it was confirmed that the new chain of stores, which will complement H&M's current offering with gorgeous and good quality affordable pieces, is due to open in selected European countries in Spring 2013. And today, we have a first look at a short documentary-like film that tells the first story via cute polaroid pics. It was shot in Paris and 'celebrates the love for shoes.' Sounds right up our street.
The idea is a day in the life of a Parisian girl who trots around the city barefoot, playing in the park, swinging on fairground rides and getting in taxis (don't try this at home, kids). But! A shiny new Stories box arrives to dress her pretty feet. There's black wedge sandals and lace-up shoe-boots as well as a quirky pair of white block heels that Gaga will be snapping up in no time. It gives us a first glimpse of & Other Stories' shoe collection for Spring / Summer 2013 and we have to say, the shoes look super-cool and we're loving the film's retro, whimsical vibe.
So if you're sitting comfortably, enjoy the tale via the video below. And to see what else the brand have up their minimal Skandi sleeves, stay tuned to their website: www.stories.com.

I have celiac and I enjoy raw and sprouted food. I love this stuff but my husband says its like cardboard. If you put a little water on it it softens up and resembles bread. I've been eating it for about 2 years now and can't get enough but I also enjoy this type of food (raw, sprouted, dehyrdated)
excellent road food!

This doesn't look or feel anything like bread when you take it out of the box, but especially if you have dietary restrictions, this is the BEST travel food. Random iceberg salad at a convenience place plus this equals a pretty satisfying meal. I sometimes do week-long temp jobs where the food offered is full of stuff I need to avoid (meat, sugar, milk, gluten). When I get by on roasted peanuts and rice cakes I manage, but when I bring these guys (plus Mary's Gone Crackers) my body feels healthier and set to do the work in front of me. This product is also less rich (a bit more vegetable content per serving, lower fat proportion) than some other similar healthy road food, e.g. kale chips, raw "crackers" made from pumpkin seeds, etc.
Great bread alternative!

I love Lydias Organics food, great flavor. Unfourtunately after I eat it my stomach tends to fell a bit heavy, even though I splash it with water so as to rehydrate, maybe I would prefer it thiner like a cracker, this is not a bread.

All Lydia's Organics products are delicious. It's not worth making your own when you can buy this stuff so reasonably on iherb. I'm hooked.

It feels like a few of tonight's guests may have had a sixth sense about Stella's second British Fashion Award 2012 win. Victoria Pendleton, Gemma Arterton and Amber Valletta all wore pieces by the designer to attend the fashwan do where she received the Designer of the Year Award, presented by Salma Hayek (also in Stella!).
2012 was the year that belonged to Stella. What with her eight-year partnership with Adidas resulting in her overseeing the creation of the Team GB kit for all our Olympians, a return to the London catwalk for a one-off eveningwear show not to mention her 40th birthday and winning Brand of the Year and Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, it looks as if her feminine yet super-modern minimal clothes have boosted her status to world-conquering level.
Stella's collections feature a signature mix of sharply tailored blazers and trouser suits combined with softer, more feminine lingerie-inspired pieces. Over the seasons, these two influences have blended to create strikingly modern, clean pieces, with a curved, feminine edge to them, always with unique patterns and an emphasis on texture. Her catwalk shows are always a starry affair with her dad Sir Paul, bessie Kate Moss and super fans Natalia Vodianova and Alicia Keys often spotted in the front row.
With two awards in the bag, let's take a look back at some of her 2012 highlights...
1. She mixed the masculine and feminine for Spring/ Summer 2013
2. She dressed Kate Middleton for the opening of a National Portrait Gallery exhibition
3. She dressed Hollywood's finest for the 'My Valentine' premiere
4. She championed the optical illusion dress
5. She designed the Team GB kit!!!
6. She made cobalt blue huge for Autumn/ Winter 2012
7. She bagged Natalia Vodianova for her Spring / Summer 2012 Campaign
8. She dressed Margaret Thatcher! Well almost. More like Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady premiere
Here's what Stella had to say when Grazia Daily met the designer moments after winning her second BFA...

This clinical guideline updates and replaces NICE technology appraisal 93 (published in August 2005). It offers evidence-based advice on the diagnosis and management of colorectal cancer.
In colorectal cancer, cells in the colon or in the rectum start to grow in an uncontrolled way, forming a lump called the primary cancer or primary tumour. Like other cancers, colorectal cancer starts in a small area but can spread to other parts of the body to form metastatic tumours.
The term colorectal cancer covers cancers in both the colon (colon cancer) and the rectum (rectal cancer).

It's summer! Always the prettier, more digestible season of the fashion calendar, unless of course that is, you're a designer like techno-knitter Craig Lawrence who never troubles himself too much with trifles like what would be a good outfit to keep you cool in hot weather or be an eye catching ensemble to wear to the races, or a June wedding, for example. Dear me no. We've followed Craig's career since he burst out the doors of Central Saint Martins in a flurry of macramed pink and white ribbons with a first class honours degree and a job creating knitwear for enfant terrible of the era; Gareth Pugh.
Anyway, the past few seasons have seen Lawrence's aesthetic muted somewhat, the devil has been in the detail rather than the grand, dramatic gesture. Then, this summer he was approached to take part in a retrospective show – with a look or two from all his collections – at the prestigious V&A Museum. The show itself was a triumph, dramatic, beautiful, and quite emotional, to see his strange and wondrous dresses in such stately surroundings. We hoped at the time that Craig would use this moment to take stock of some of his strengths as a designer and guess what? He's come back this season with his strongest collection for ages and all the more dramatic for it.
Entirely in pale silver, clear and reflective Kyototex yarn, Craig's Spring and Summer collection was inspired by phosphorescent plankton that glow in the ocean at night, plus sea, urchins, sponges and glowing jellyfish. There was drama aplenty, having incorporated optic fibres for the first time, which, according to Craig is 'a range that re-defines day-to-night wear; dresses and separates that are subtly silver-metallic by day, but reflective at night when spot-lit or under flash photography.'
What's that sound we hear? Oh it must be Lady Gaga on the phone now, wanting a glow in the dark jellyfish dress!

NEUE STIMMEN Master Classes
A number of the young singers taking part in the NEUE STIMMEN International Singing Competition are often still too inexperienced to recognized with a prize. Often the choice of repertoire is not befitting the singer's vocal development, or presentation and vocal interpretation have not matured yet. Nevertheless, many of the young talents discovered during the competition are capable of development and worthy of support.
The Bertelsmann Stiftung aims to support the careers and personal development of these especially gifted young singers, and to help them prepare for the psychological demands of working in today's opera world. To this end, the Bertelsmann Stiftung has offered an international series of master classes in the alternating years between the singing competitions (held every other year) since 1997. Up to 15 contestants from the NEUE STIMMEN competition are invited to participate.
During the 10-day course, the young singers work on their voices, musical expression, vocal interpretation and stage presence without the pressure of the competition. The sessions are designed to give singers practical tips for managing their careers and cover issues such as auditions, finding an agent, contracts and tax laws.

Reposted with permission. Click here to view Stratfu's Razorscale page!
UI/ADDON INFORMATION:Razorscale in flight
Devouring Flame: When in the air, Razorscale will drop a blue fireball onto an area of the ground that deals about 7k (on Normal) and 9k (on Heroic) damage per second to players sitting within the area.
Fireball: When in the air, Razorscale will very frequently throw Fireballs at individual players, dealing about 12k damage on Heroic.
Iron Dwarves
Chain Lightning: Dark Rune Watchers that exit the mole machines while Razorscale is flying can Chain Lightning, which increases damage as it hits subsequent players. The raid should be spread out to limit the punishment from this ability.
Whirlwind: The Dark Rune Sentinels that appear as part of some of the Mole Machine packs have a Whirlwind ability that hits players around them. Lightly armored players should stay away from these mobs.
Razorscale grounded
Flame Breath: 17500-22500 frontal cone fire damage ability.
Wing Buffet: Knocks back all players within 35 yards. Some players at maximum range should be able to avoid this ability.
Razorscale permanently grounded
He has the two normal "grounded" abilities and adds:
Flame Buffet: Increases fire damage taken by all players (1500 on Heroic, 1000 on Normal); applies in an infinite-range AoE around Razorscale periodically. This forms a "soft enrage" mechanic for Razorscale's ground phase.
Fuse Armor: This debuff stacks on your tank and will eventually kill him.

nice we downed him today on 25 but phase 2 was rough X_x
Very excited to see how you did it
Warrior Tank + Fury DPS, lover of Priests
Just a quick question!
We had some problems with this encounter at the point when she breaks free and we need to start the tank rotation to avoid the "fuse armor". Can the OT stand next to the MT and still not get the debuff?
Is it the target of razor that get's the debuff or is it from the breath?
Great video, thx!
Great Video!
Hope we will get down this boss today.
Is the 10 man encouter same as the 25 man ?
10 and 25 man are almost the same.
Only difference being, that in the 10 man you only need 2 harpoons, to get her to the ground.
So, with this in mind, you can apply the same tactics.
@Karp, the 10 man is the same with 2 harpoons and less adds/fireballs, but it follows the same mechanic.
Compared to 25 man, 10 man was a LOT easier imo, but like i said - same basics.
Oh, except 2 tanks so we did 1 tank on adds and 1 on the guardians until phase 2.
Hope this helped in some way
Warrior Tank + Fury DPS, lover of Priests
Interesting fight. Too bad kiting bosses are my bane... *sad face*
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Lovely Video, just some questions:
On 10 men with 2 tanks, would you have one taking the sentinels and one the rest of the adds? Or would you split it up, have one tank with the melee picking up one side, and one tank with ranged DPS picking up the other, and have the ranged DPS tank pick up the sentinels as well?
Also, when tanking Razorscale properly, at how many stacks of the debuff did you switch tanks- it seemed Cider stayed tanking for a long time there.

Are you kiting her just to avoid flame patches or am I missing something? On 10 man last night I just sidestepped them and we readjusted.
Fayre - Soldiers of Azeroth, Aggramar(EU)
We are recruiting! See here for more details.
I'd bet it's just fine to keep her stationary and sidestep the patches. That's why I didn't say anything about it.
Great video! I was wondering if I could link this video on my guild forum? I'm not sure if I need permission.

Thanks to the Internet, consumers expect 21st century companies to bring a sophisticated online presence. Utilities that leverage the interactive power of Web 2.0 will strengthen their positions...
Saving The Smart Grid
Hype, hysteria, and strategic planning.
a dirty word—with enormous consequences for utilities as well as their customers.
"The smart gird has been over-hyped," Hickman says emphatically. "It's not nirvana; it's the evolution of an analog grid into a digital grid. It's necessary, it's required, and we need to get on with it."
Fickle Winds of Change
The smart grid concept has entered the lexicon in a way few aspects of the utility sector ever do. That's been a blessing and a curse.
"This term was adopted about four or five years ago, and then it got a major political movement behind it," says Warren Causey, a vice president at consulting firm Five Point Partners. "That led to an acceleration of deployment, which is good, and to a number of other steps forward over the last few years."
However, as with all political movements, there's a pendulum factor. The year 2008, when smart grid really went mainstream, was a moment of dramatic political change. The Obama election, coupled with growing concerns over energy security and environmental issues, pushed smart grid into the public spotlight. The financial crisis played a role, too. The 2009 stimulus package—the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)—promoted smart grid projects among the so-called "shovel-ready" public works projects legislators hoped would help get the economy back on track.
Smart grid was a convenient, expedient term politicians could use. It sounds like progress. The grid was dumb, and we're making it smart! It was an easy concept to sell—and to oversell.
"Between the smart grid and shifting to alternative energy, it'll cost between $1.5 and $3 trillion to build out everything that has been postulated," Causey says. "The ARRA provided about $6 billion—a relative drop in the bucket. Also, there are about 3,500 electric utilities in the country, and only 100 of them got ARRA money. So, you have to look at the overall picture."
In reality, the smart grid is anything but simple, and doesn't lend itself to politicians' sound bites. It's a multifaceted technological conversion, comprised of enabling technologies such as advanced metering infrastructure and meter data management; integration of new renewable generation and storage methods; consumer applications such as home area networks and smart appliances that further enable demand response; and perhaps most significantly, massive and long-term investment in upgrading distribution technology.
So when the political wind shifted, smart grid presented a lot of fronts for pushback.
"Smart grid is a bloated term," says Don McDonnell, managing director of the McDonnell Group, an energy technology consulting and media firm. "Every utility has a vested interest in highlighting the different pieces of the puzzle and affirming that they're part of the industry's smart grid development, because they don't want to be out of style. I believe strongly in the overarching vision for the modernization of our industry, but we're certainly not the best industry at making our case for investment and for innovation."
Critical Oversight
Since 2008, the Gartner Group has plotted smart grid technologies on a curve it calls "The Hype Cycle"—a graph that plots expectations over time.
The curve follows five phases.

Review this movie
Aug 1, 2014An extremely bad and disappointing conclusion to the Twilight Series, whose team was unwilling to make a decent film for the audience. While the special effects and the action are impressive, this exhausting movie does little to the fans but relieves smart people for its well appreciated, ending.
Jul 20, 2014The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 isn't as bad as Part 1, the story was pretty decent for a Twilight movie, but the acting wouldn't persuade anyone to make them believe it.
May 4, 2014So, in Part 1, Bella finally marries Edward, has his baby, and becomes a vampire. What are they going to do for Part 2? With all the main objectives already out of the way, Part 2 is pretty much a moot point.
Apr 20, 2014**** THIS **** an vampire movie has been more insulting,disgusting,pointless,like this piece of garbage,i feel bad for ''sane'' people who had to watch this **** because of their girlfriends or whoever made them watch THIS TRAVESTY!!,Finally ended,only,know this is from 2 years ago,BUT ****!!,Underworld looks like shakespeare compared TO THIS ****
Mar 18, 2014It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in the entirety of my life. I hated every little second that lingered while watching this pathetic excuse of filmography. I hope that this franchise stays in its grave.
Mar 8, 2014I'll have to say that this final installment is the best in the series, but that does not mean that it's good. Seriously, once again we have cheesy acting and it's just plain dumb.
Oct 25, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first hour of the film consists mostly of unnecessarily prolonged montages, while the film's final portion consists of a ridiculous, ingenuine, and unbelievable fight scene that ends up being a false premonition. Then the franchise ends in the same way with it started: some people laying in a valley. Nothing to see here.… Expand
Oct 22, 2013Even tough, this is the last installment of the Twilight franchise and according to Stephanie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn (almost half of the book)," the story is about three useful heroes fight against bad vampires in this shivering daybreak. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part II is the end of those Gothic teenagers are facing the Volturi members who dresses like bad hooded Halloween costumes because they concern to get rid of the CG baby or pale little girl. I'm getting so much tired for these characters that it still has that same clichés like standing around doing nothing, wooden dialogue, and always stares. Kristen Stewart wont save up for this movie and she still have that dumb expression and even these two dull heroes including Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are finding way to get out of this movie. Be in mind that there's a scene where Jacob Black is going to stay near to the little girl and of course grows up and fell in love with the big CG effect wolf forever, how inconvenient. It's very gross to see a hungry pedophilia wolf to make connections with the awful CG baby. Breaking Dawn, Part II is the lamest and final movie that ended up pretty quick. I can't stand this movie a lot and thank heavens that the haters and audiences are getting better to go step away to the next movie without that lovey dovey vampire movies. This movie is bizarre, unpleasant and compare to all I reviewed all Twilight series are completely crap.… Expand
Oct 1, 2013The Twilight Saga ends with Breaking Dawn Part 2. Part 1 had a great pace in story telling however Part 2 is riddled with a lot of rush to the storylines and horrible pacing overall. However the quality of the storyline and everything you needed to understand the plot is nicely done even though there was a time constraint on the amount of the content. Despite the rush job and the cliche romance moments Twilight Breaking dawn Part 2 was still a movie worth watching especially if you are a fan of the books and the fan of the earlier movies.… Expand
Sep 11, 2013I'm not a Twihard fan, but it's still better than the first four movies. I'm so lucky that the Twilight franchise came to an end. On the bad side which is the cheesy dialogue, the story, and the acting, but on the good side which is the battle scenes, but kinda ruined the ending. Anyway, Goodbye Twilight and never come back.
Jul 25, 2013Somehow, the last Twilight manages to be the worst in the entire series. The special effects are over-the-top and tacky, Bella continues to be a Mary Sue, and, the acting is really awful in certain scenes. The only redeeming thing about this movie was the surprising ending. The Twilight movies themselves aren't that bad, if a little over-dramatic, but, this one is definitely not something I would like to watch too often.… Expand
Jul 18, 2013The film is very entertaining and visually well done, the acting has improved and the action scene at the end is awesome. Not a huge fan of the twist at the end, but you know it is still a twist and a surprising one at that. The film is good, action packed and entertaining. I have enjoyed watching this series. It is a good series. Not amazing, but good.
Jul 7, 2013Best movie ever .:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Jun 16, 2013last movie is the best of all, but that does not mean that the film is good.
The últio movie, thankfully exceeded my expectations, it's a good movie, with jokes no thanks, with a little good acting of Kristen, nice art direction, good effects and soundtrack really cool, just found a good mix of X-men there in the middle, but the film is rather cool and leaves a good ending to a saga boring.
May 27, 2013I hate everything. The vampires, transformed wolf, Bella Swan turning into vampire, having ridiculous power. I tried to watch it, like it, but no way.
Apr 22, 2013I really dislike movies with soft-sweet fantastic love stories. Because it cant happen, it only brings false hope into the hearts of 16 years old teens. Usually I just dont rate this moves if you like it no problem, I dont. But this is different. This story took me from the very beginning. And the last fight is beyond any comprehension. This is one of the best fights in 2012 movies. What I cant understand is all this hate. Why? I believe people who didnt find their love in this life, or simple unhappy hate this movie, as they hate Romeo and Julietta, First Knight and so on. Come on people, its just a movie, and not a worst one, try to improve your life instead of bringing hate.… Expand
Apr 10, 2013I say for someone who ain't a Twilight fan.........What an awesome movie!
Honestly, I didn't think this was Twilight since it didn't have the ugh mood most of them have.
Mar 25, 2013Let me start off by saying Im a guy and the only reason for the four is because the action wasn't that bad, I was forced to see this by my gale and her friends and my friends who said it actually looks worth watching. The acting was eh-ok. Kristen Im not saying you are a bad actress but your twilight character is so boring and doesnt grab my attention. Taylor eh Im a fan because of Sharkboy and Abuduction. Robert what I said for Kristen applies to you as well. The plot is boring, the characters arent interesting or scary. The acting was again eh-ok. The action was fairly good. Once again the overhype for this film was caused by the film series/book series not the actual film, Im sure Paranormal Activity 5 and Fast Six will all get over the top hype ex. Fast N Furious film series ia actually worth watching. Avoid.… Expand
Mar 21, 2013As an older adult but one who enjoys sci-fi and fantasy I fell in love with theTwilight Saga. What I enjoyed most of the series was the devotion and love that inter-played with the three main characters. Having said that I was not entirely happy with how Breaking Dawn was chopped up. To me the part of the book that was trashed was the part were Bella first wakes up. The director decided for what ever moronic reason to help his audience understand what becoming a vampire is like and the sensations that Bella first encounters. The ending I liked although I am purist when taking it from book to movie unless you just can't make the audience understand. Hopefully I will live long enough to see a remake by a better director that captures what Stephanie Myers was trying to say about the transition of Bella.… Expand
Mar 17, 2013The inclusion of more characters at the expense of nausea inducing dialogue between the leads combined with the knowledge that this is the final film means that this is the best of the bunch. However, that says fairly little.
Mar 16, 2013Finally! The last film in this terrible franchise. Now the problem isn't the story, its well written if a bit irritating because of the whole changing conventions of vampires & werewolves. The problem all along has lied solely in the directors & casting directors hands. Breaking Dawn pt 2 takes place abut 3 days after pt 1. Renesme is developing fast, Bella is learning her new powers and the Volturi are coming to kill the Cullens for turning a child into a vampire, even though she was born a half-vampire.
It ties up the story very nicely though the massive fight scene (though probably the highlight of the franchise) really wasn't needed and it would have worked better without it. Like I said before, the problem was with the director and whoever cast these morons that cannot act for The CGI in this film is awful too. You'll love it if you like Twilight but if you dont then just steer clear, like you have probably done so already.… Expand
Mar 11, 2013Being someone who is not a fan of The Twilight Saga I was not looking forward to this instalment. However I was pleasantly surprised by the change in style compared to the other films, the change in the amount of action found in the film and also the twists and turns the viewer feels with the characters. Overall I was very impressed by this instalment and although I may not be a turned 'Twilight Fan' I do like this movie and thus, will recommend people to watch it.… Expand
Mar 10, 2013The first half of this film maybe the worst in the franchise. Between the CGI baby and continuing the the terrible storyline from part 1 it looked like it was headed for a 0 or 1. Once the girl grows up and the story changes more towards the battle the 2nd half became the best of the franchise. Overall I found the ending to be poor and hopefully we've seen the end of this franchise.
Feb 21, 2013To me, It was a 0 all the way through up until the climax of the film. I feel that the climax (the whole confrontation scene) sort of saved the movie but not enough for me to give it a good review. I am actually quite disappointed because I had given Twilight, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn part 1 6's. I had given New Moon an 8. I figured it would at least be a decent film but it ended up being a terrible end to a solid franchise. And this is coming from a guy who loves action, horror, and comedy films.… Expand
Feb 21, 2013All the hate from the Twilight movies come from those who never read the books and therefore do not understand the feelings and thoughts of Bella. This sadly last movie, Breaking Dawn part 2, manages to capture emotion in the way that it made a chill run down my spine and a tear appear in my eyes. Like they say, "haters gonna hate", but don't judge before reading the books.

Jan 23, 2013The tale of two star-crossed lovers has finally reached its conclusion. The unlikely romance of a human and a vampire has been at the center of pop culture since 2008 when the first Twilight movie was thrown into the wild, for teenage girls to attach themselves to like a bee to honey. What has been baffling for these past 5 years has been how these films have had the longevity they
Jan 20, 2013I am not spoiling it or any thing, I am not a fan, I hate the sequels, I liked the first Twilight movie, a little bit, I hated the sequels, but this one's ending fighting scene was really good but not great! So I give it 5/10 +5 for the ending -5 for the beginning till the fighting scene, and 24/100
Jan 16, 2013Bloodless decapitations are everywhere in the climax that didn't actually happen. This movie is a train wreck. Even the actors seem to hate what they have created. Thank god this train wreck of a series has finally ceased to live. Immortal? Let's hope not. Watch this as a comedy, and it's kind of funny.
Jan 5, 2013Yes, indeed, the ending was very well executed--the twist was even more unexpected, but this film, like its predecessors New Moon and Breaking Dawn Part 1, suffer tremendously from slow pacing, terrible acting, horrible written screenplay, and HORRIBLE--I MEAN HORRIBLE!-- CGI construction.
Dec 25, 2012This review contains spoilers. I was unceremoniously dragged into watching this by my cousin, unfortunately, ready to laugh at most of it. While this movie fares marginally better than the rest, it still fails to entice viewers to sink their teeth into Bella and Edward's corny relationship (no pun intended) and watch the rest of the series. The only bit of this worth watching was the battle that didn't even happen (plot twist! Neck breaking! Long jumping!). Even so, the special effects, no matter how perfectly executed, failed to make it believable. Rest of the movie was just.. blah. Moved too slow for my liking, and way more kissing than should be allowed for a movie rated PG13. All I can say is thank God it's over.… Collapse
Dec 23, 2012Me encanto esta saga fue algo diferente a otras series donde nada mas se ve violencia y querer conquistar al mundo, etc pero en si no se ve amor ademas de que tengo uso de razón es la primera serio que veo que un vampiro se enamora de una humana y que los lobos salen a matar humanos, la saga es diferente a muchas películas y series que he visto. de mi parte y de muchos fans que estamos en el facebook damos miles felicitaciones... ahh y eso que hay mucha violencia y sexo no creo porque si miramos otras series ejemplo trasforme , resident evil, son mas sangrientas y no veo nada de amor como lo vemos con edwar y bella ....FELICITACIONES UNA BUENA SAGA… Expand
Dec 18, 2012Why is this movie getting horrible reviews? I mean I know it's a little cheesy and corny but it's still worth seeing. I went and saw this with my best friend and my boyfriend at the theaters. I had high hopes for this movie, seeing the trailer looked better than all previous twilight movies combined. We went in and sat down and had to see this terrible movie. The twist at the end really got me though, the whole vision scene. But overall, cheesy dumb and terrible acting. 5/10… Expand
Dec 17, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is the greatest film of the franchise. At the end of part 1 we saw Bella changing into a vampire after her birth. I was not expecting so much by this film but i enjoyed it. It is not perfect, it is not bad but it is ok.… Expand
Dec 16, 2012This movie is one of the worst movies i ever watched. Awful acting and direction. I also have read the books which are perfect. But the movies are really disgusting. Those movies were really bad.
Dec 14, 2012Tan buena o mejor que la primera. Un buen final de la saga. Nuevos personajes y nuevos poderes entre los vampiros. Una buena batalla (no digo más para no revelar spoilers). Mantiene la expectación de principio a fin. Unos vampiros nunca visto antes.
Dec 12, 2012Although probably the strongest film of the series, it still falls nothing short of mediocre.If you are not a Twilight fangirl I would not recommend this film.
Dec 11, 2012For movies that are adapted from books to be successful, the book itself must be of respectable quality. However, the Twilight Saga book series is such a disgrace - such a literary piece of trash that the target audience is limited to the dramatically decreasing number of loyal fangirls who drool over shirtless guys, but overlook the equivalence of the franchise to goat **** Complete with emotionless, wooden acting delivered by Kristen Stewart, gaping plot holes and practically no element of intelligence or originality in the film, Breaking Dawn Part 2 shamelessly steals from audiences by splitting the final film into two parts (one part is already stretching it). This successfully classifies as one of the worst films in existence. Get ready to see the spectacle that should never have started in the first place!… Expand
Dec 11, 2012Don't need to say much here, a lot have gone over the plot points that are terrible, the awful cinematography and lousy GOD-DAMNED STUPID FAKE OUT!!!!!!!!!!
I hate the Twilight 'Saga' and was hoping that this would at least try to do something different, but no, it doesn't , happy fairy lollipop candy land where nothing can or ever will go wrong for the pretty white people who come from Utah.
Dec 11, 2012i really didn't enjoy this movie..like the other twilight movies, they take one problem and just focus on it through the whole movie. and end it with a cliff hanger. Oh, i forgot about the "Love" part.. but this movie had a battle at the end..which was entertaining..thats the only good thing about this movie..other than that this movie is complete utter sh*t..
Dec 11, 2012Well.. you should watch teh film Miss Representation to understand how the female director got screwed on her own series, and it shows. The female characters have become less and less believable, and the film has become more of a market based frenzy over time. Too bad.
Dec 10, 2012First thing's first: I am not a Twilight fan. Therefore, giving the film a 5/10 is quite good, mind you. I had not seen the one film before, because I thought "New Moon" was horrible, horrible, horrible, but a friend took me out so figured might as well. To tell the truth, this is not a bad film. Nor is it a good film. It's there in between, in mediocrity. Let's start with visuals - the effects can be pretty nice, but I just couldn't get over the horrible editing with them, especially when they run "supersonic" or whatever it is. Made the film look amateurish and cheap. Other effects were quite good. Acting - not bad. Stewart, whom I usually dislike strongly, was actually bearable. The rest of the cast was ok, too. Storyline was a bit problematic. Ultimately, nothing really happens in the film. I... yeah, that's really it. There's all this builtup but it doesn't quite work out. It just doesn't quite match up with...well, anything. So, comparatively, it was rather decent, but the story was still bad. Bottom line, I guess. Better than the other Twilight films I've seen (only first two) but still not a good film. 5/10… Expand
Dec 10, 2012Well... First, when did the series turn into comedy? Waited all this time to see an interesting fight between vampires just to end up like this? Never mind... The series came out of a very bad direction and very poor acting but it managed to achieve success due to a good story, It was disappointing to see how trough the years the series became worst and worst, the only decent special effects were the werewolves and we had to wait until the second movie! I understand if you are a teenage girl or a fan and loved the movie but if you are just a mortal trying to see a Sci-Fi movie, this is not the right choice. I'm sorry to say because I know that this might hurt some fillings but, the movie still has very poor acting and no special effects what so ever.… Expand
Dec 7, 2012Forced to watch this by my mother, who wanted to see it and did not have anyone to see it with. She's done that to me for the past three other Twilight movies.... and I wish I could have that time back. Suffice to say, I did not like it along with most of the males my age (20's). I would not have watched any of them had it not been for my mother wanting to and needing somebody to watch it with. That said, the movie itself is as terrible as the other ones in terms of acting and the plot is so-so... but there IS a twist in this movie that I did not see coming and that bumped the score up because of that. It was actually well done and looking back now I should have expected it, but it was a pleasant surprise for someone who was not expecting much. Now if only Blade can meet these twinkly "vampires"...… Expand
Dec 5, 2012Yes, this is the best of the series, but that's not exactly saying all that much. Part 2 is just as boring, awkward, cheesy, and dull as the others, but it features some nice action sequences, as well as some script improvements and better acting (sort of).
Dec 5, 2012I really liked the movie. We could see a savage battle between vampires and werewolves (like in the other movies). The kind of scene you don't expect to see in a movie that once was focused in the love story between Edward and Bella. There is also a great diplomacy game among the vampires, revealing all the power, political positions and that kind of stuff that we hardly see in a vampire movie
Dec 4, 2012Over all the twilight saga's, I have found scenes extremely gripping and then also on the other hand extremely boring. This one, however, was extremely boring the whole way through. I was quite optimistic walking into the cinema with my friends, but as soon as the first scene came on, I wanted to tear my eyeballs out. On the other hand, the movie gets better when the story line develops (eventually). I have read the books, and to be fair, they are so much better than the films. As a teenager who can "relate" to the movies, I feel no real connections with the vampires and werewolves in the film, like I do in the book. I don't see why twilight has the stereotype of being particularly for teenagers. I know many adults who enjoy a romantic fantasy now and again. Overall, I believe that if you want a good read, go for the books. However, the film is not worthwhile to go and spend your money on. It cost me £8.50 to go and see it, and I would have much rather gauged my eyeballs out.… Expand
Dec 3, 2012Oh God, so cheesy! It exhausting watching that much cheese. I've read the books, so I already knew what was going to happen, but somehow it doesn't seem that cheesy until you see bad actors act it out with angsty piano music. That being said, it certainly wasn't worse than the other movies. Oh, wait, except for a suger creepy CGI baby. WTF? Can't you just use a real baby? I don't care what the book says, it having teeth isn't really that important, just use a real baby. People in the theatre were "aww"-ing like it was cute. It's not cute, it's face is covered in poorly done CGI. Atleast Renesmee doesn't stay a baby for long. The climax and ending were well done until a lame montage of Edward+Bella moments from the whole series at the very end. No one needs to see that, they've all seen all the movies.… Expand
Dec 1, 2012I'll admit, I was kind of dragged there by a girl friend of mine and I didn't know what to expect. Their were some comedic parts to it and other parts that just left me thinking, "Really Twilight?" The camera work was bittersweet to me, as a filmmaker. When the ending came around I had that thought of why would they even do this but they made it make sense in the end. If you can get past the CGI baby and the 13 year old girls screaming in your ears then it's an entertaining film.… Expand

Nov 28, 2012While I prefer undead to forgo their emotions, this is a movie that one shouldn't go in with expectations and a belief that there should be a lot of thinking. A healthy suspension of belief is needed, and yet this movie was entertaining--I didn't expect any over the top acting, nor Broadway play depth. This is meant for entertainment, and a finale for their fans.
Those with high expectations have obviously voiced such in their reviews. My better half enjoyed it, and that's all I really needed.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012Hilarous i love the movie is **** awesome really hghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggggggggg
Nov 28, 2012Twilight Saga is finally over with no satisfying conclusion at all. Breaking Dawn Part 2 maybe strong for franchise but still low for cinema. Would satisfy fans and girls, disappoint others.
Nov 26, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This the most horrible movie I've ever seen in my entire life. This sentence alone should be enough to explain this movie...BUT I have to tell more of course. First of all, I haven't watched all of the movies nor read the books; I've only watched part 1 and I really hated it, but at least that movie was just boring and that's it. In here, it's a slap to your expectations, a betrayal of hope, a disaster of story. I liked how it started and, even if the obvious non-sense they were saying and hilarious details they had to introduce, I was at least enjoying and waiting for the big finale, the epic battle of great proportions. I wasn't honestly waiting much from Twilight but then I at least didn't get bored...but I'm sorry again to say that the ending is a complete disaster and really disappoints on all aspects, not only wasting a REALLY good scene, but making it a complete joke (SPOILER: the final battle was just a vision: nothing of that the trailer showed basically happened, and that was the strong part of the movie). YES, I do know that in the books it ended "technically" like this, but then...what was the point of making "THAT" scene if you're going to rip everyone off! I feel so disappointed, not as a fan (which I'm NOT), but as a person who tries to enjoys movies. I don't know what else to say, except that I wish I didn't watch it....for those who really want to see the ending to this saga...I would say avoid it....or go ahead and make yourself home I...have no words to describe how terrible this was. You have been warned.… Expand
Nov 26, 2012the twilight saga ends on a high note. i think that twilight is the best teenagers movies ever and we marked 10 beause many teenagers likes it . we must tell truth, that twilight is most popular movies
Nov 25, 2012One of the best twilight film. The second best is the first twilight. If you watch first twilight 1 and then the last it is funny. Her hair looks better xD. By this part it was more romance than action, but that has no influence on my score.
Nov 25, 2012It's one of the most shocking films in the series but it's also the lightest. That's beceause are about eternal romance of vampires at play
Nov 24, 2012The movie is pretty slow. Besides the great battle sequences,
Nov 23, 2012This POS movie is one of the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. When I was forced to see this I thought maybe it would be like transformers were it's so bad that it's good but no it was so bad that it made me want to rip my eyes out so I could stop watching it.
Nov 22, 2012I'm not going to pretend I was forced to watch this by my girlfriend, or make any other excuse in an effort to restore my masculinity, frankly because I don't care whether it's "cool" or not to like something with a predominantly young superficial female fanbase. I've liked the saga so far, and I can say with confidence that this is by far the best installment. Unlike part 1 of Breaking Dawn, a lot happens, including an all-out battle at the end with a fantastic score to compliment it. I can't say I was a fan of the twist towards the end of the movie, or the fact that the baby was a product of CGI, but aside from a few flaws, I thought Breaking Dawn Part II was a great way to end a decent and somewhat unique take on a vampire saga.… Expand
Nov 21, 2012The only reason why I gave this score is the excellent choice of the sound tracks. I recommend you guys to wait until the credit goes up if you're unlucky to watch this movie.
Nov 20, 2012Breaking Down part 2 foi um filme espetacular, este o qual se destacou impressionantemente aos outros filmes da saga. Outro fator que mostrou grande destaque foi que o filme foi melhor do que o livro, e isso é raramente presenciável. TRANSLATE IT TO ENGLISH (it's in portuguese)
Nov 20, 2012This is it! The big finish! Bella and Edward are married and have given birth to a human/vampire hybrid. This poses problems with the evil empire, so the family gathers vampires from around the globe, allowing for an extended sequence to show off a variety of skills and special effects. While it's mildly cool, the build-up never builds up much steam. The showdown has lots of head-popping action, but it's not enough. There are questions left unanswered and the lame conclusion is just that. Fans of the series will be thrilled to see it played out, but as a standalone film, it's just OK. The pacing is dramatic but slow. Watching the plot unfold is interesting, but it's never thrilling (and those werewolves still look fake).… Expand
Nov 19, 2012With a well-rounded performance in which all actors gave their best and a tear jerking twist by the time the credits were about to roll, the last installment in this beloved series deserves a "6".
Nov 18, 2012I give Twilight an 8 and Skyfall a 5. Maybe the world will in in 2012. Good moving story with some interesting plot twists that will keep the boyfriend awake. Dakota Fanning is all grown up and hardly recognizable but a good actress. Strongest of the Twilight films, although that is not saying much.
Nov 18, 2012In the end, its a recommendable sendoff for the series, but just barely. Problems still remain. Part 2 lacks a big conflict and instead goes in the "what if" scenario. While nicely filmed, it can sometimes be unintentionally funny just like Part 1. Again, Twilight isn't for everyone, but this may be the best of the series.
Nov 18, 2012If there was a way to give this less than a 0 I wouldn't feel like I was overrating this movie. Everything about every twilight movie is the same, they're all terrible
Nov 17, 2012The Twilight Saga ends on a high note, but is it very high? No. Yet the performances are solid except for a few, the visual and special effects are stunning, and it is beautifully filmed. It manages to be funny throughout the film, but this time on purpose. It embraces its absurdity and complete dumbness with ease. Although in the end they shouldn't have made a last minute change, and should have left it where it was going it still manages to leave you happy in a way. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be thrilled with it either. Most people who have not read the books will think it is stupid and weird, but if you have you will enjoy it. I do not like the Twilight films but this left me liking it, but not loving it. I give this film 62%.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012After following the franchise from the beginning, falling for Edward instantly, and generally enjoying the books a great deal more than the films. I have to say this final instalment was a huge winner for me. Its fair to say the cgi of Renesme is not great and the majority is a Bella/Edward love-fest, but the grand finale scene is absolutely amazing and completely unexpected. My palms were sweaty and my heart beating so fast. I couldn't believe what was happening. An amazing ending for a brilliant saga! Well done Bill.… Expand
Nov 17, 2012As I'm not a 13 year old girl with low self-esteem, I naturally found this movie tiresome and poorly acted. Not sure what the attraction is to this franchise. Seriously, vampires having babies is just wrong on some universal level. This is a good, end of queue, Netflix filler rather than paying full fare at the theaters.
Nov 16, 2012Best movie from the series, but the script, acting and effects are still bad, even though that's not the actual movie's fault, since none of those things needed to be better for the movie to have a huge gross.
There were not as many ridiculous moments as there were in the previous films, which was a nice surprise, and the ending twist was phenomenal and completely unexpected.
Nov 16, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ce film est vraiment énorme avec la super surprise vers la fin du film le générique final est énorme !!!! Je ne vois d'autre note alors oui je mes 10/10 sans ésiter!!!… Expand
Nov 16, 2012Of all the major critics' reviews, Joe Williams of the St. Louis Dispatch has it right: it was a guilty pleasure for these 58 year old eyes. I enjoyed every minute of it, especially a truly electrifying moment at the end. So did the audience.
Nov 16, 2012After Waching the movie I must say over all it was good. There were some thing things I would of like to see done alittle better, like the cgi . And would like them to stay with a scene a little longer but that might have been a time factor. The twist in the movie was well done and that alone will get the fans on the edge of there sets. I gave the movie a 6 out of 10.It was lacking in some spots but overall was a good night at the movies.… Expand
Nov 16, 2012Review from an 18 year old guy. I went into this (obviously not willingly) thinking/hoping to destroy it. And at first, it seemed like I could. But the slow hour leads to an actually entertaining and violent battle scene, only to be finished by an ending that will leave many people, diehards or casual fans alike, split. I was not fond of the ending, but my girlfriend was. Not awful but besides the great battle it's pretty slow.… Expand
Nov 16, 2012Let me start this review by saying that I have read all the books in this series and watched all the movies to date and frankly I'm not a fan. Why do I continue to watch each installment then? Because I am a fan of how directors interpret text onto the big screen and I can whole heartedly say that Bill Condon's take on this 'B Script' novel is to be commended. He adds all the missing pieces of the book whilst still staying true to the novel itself, which is no easy task. For the first half of this movie, you can expect the same 'Twilight-esqe' feel that is recurrent in past installments however with Bella's new found life, her character is finally allowed to breathe a bit - which makes for a better Bella than the sulky one we're used to. The acting all around is good, however Michael Sheen (Aro) steals the show with a stellar performance as the series' villain. The certain aspect of this movie that really redeemed the series as a whole however is its ending - it is everything you would expect from a grand finale with jaw dropping sequences, beautifully choreographed set pieces and edge of your seat action all the way through. All of this whilst Condon maintained respect for the text it came from (even though the text itself lacked execution). Whilst this isn't a very glamourous movie (the CGI Reneesme looked quite awful at times and cast members apart from the main characters had little to no substance) it's ending is truly one that will be remembered. Remembered not for it's engagement or action sequences, but for its adaptation from paper to screen. A bunch of words that lacked execution and if copied word for word would have crumbled on the big screen. However a clever director carefully tailored this delicate story to not only suit a cinema audience, but also occasional readers, action orientated fans and Twi-hards alike. Bill Condon - Well done!… Expand
I'm not a religious man but, Hallelujah! I may not be done with Meyer but at least I'll never again have to cope with the angst, self-absorption, and vampire mythology mutilation that characterized these five movies.
By the time the great vampire showdown finally got started, I was good and done with Breaking Dawn, Part 2. But the big action scene is so campily over the top - with one twist so unforeseeable - that it sent me out on a burst of grudging goodwill.

Marion McConaghie grew up near the coast of rural Northern Ireland. She came over to the UK to study art, gaining a First Class degree in Fine Art Painting. Marion has since worked commercially as a graphic designer and artist. Marion paints, photographs and uses digital retouching techniques to produce a wide range of images.
She has limited edition prints in galleries, and her artwork appears in various independent retail outlets. Marion spends a great deal of time scouring antique shops and similar outlets, researching and sourcing objects, books, curiosities and so on to gain inspiration for her work. Much of it has a vintage theme and she loves things affected by natural ageing processes. She echoes this in the images she makes.

Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Have a new idea?

Not sure if this is relevant for all but it would be nice to have me or other people post comments (or notes) to my shared/public tasks ala 43things, oops :).

Comments would be an awesome feature. I use RTM to manage my web design projects and having a public list for my clients to add to would let me create a feature request and ticketing system if I could comment on the tasks. It would seriously be off the hook like a dial tone.

Alpha Aluminum frame
Trek's performance-engineered Alpha Aluminum is shaped and tuned for ultimate steering performance and ride comfort.
E2 head tube and fork
E2 tapers from a 1-1/4" lower to a 1-1/8" upper, placing more material where it matters most for the stiffness of a full 1-1/4" system without the added weight.
IsoZone handlebar and grips
Vibration-damping material absorbs road bumps and buzz for an incredibly comfortable ride.
IsoZone monostay
Vibration-damping material absorbs road bumps and buzz for an incredibly comfortable ride. An FX exclusive.
SpeedTrap compatible
SpeedTrap seamlessly integrates the computer sensor into the fork to measure speed and distance with no added aerodynamic drag.
WSD: fit for women
A great-fitting bike is a joy to ride. The better the fit, the greater your comfort, stability, power, and control. And nothing fits better than Trek WSD, Women's Specific Design.
Pricing is set by Trek retailers and does not include freight, import duties or taxes for retailers outside the US.

My guild luckily has two Ret Pallies with Divine Sacrifice and 2/2 Divine Guardian for this encounter in the 10 man version. We had the ret pallies rotate using Divine Sacrifice and Hand of Sacrifice to help mitigate the damage of Plasma Blast in Phase 1. Divine Sacrifice also provided use in Phases 2 and 4.
(The Paladins did bubble when they used these tactics.)
Edit: This is for a single tank strategy.
