I've found by far the worst part of leveling up is that I've just hit the level range where the DKs start and they absolutely love pulling aggro, running things around rooms, death gripping mobs off our prot warrior for no real reason, etc.
I've actually pugged this on three of my 80s.H AN has "lets pug the achievement for the first boss"
I've found by far the worst part of leveling up is that I've just hit the level range where the DKs start and they absolutely love pulling aggro, running things around rooms, death gripping mobs off our prot warrior for no real reason, etc.
I was in an ICC 10 guild run and we had to pug my off tank. I start bringing Precious back and face her away from the raid when the DK tank..in frost presence...uses Icy Touch and she faces the DPS and healers. I had to explain to him afterward (keep in mind, I only have one 80, being my pally tank) that Icy Touch is, in fact, a taunt... Oh wait a night.
Oh gawd my DK's pop Army in violet hold and back up to watch the effects.
Contrary to the belief that heroics are 20min dash to the finish, I decided to help out some guys from a fairly new guild on the server. So it's going alright, until we wipe on the first boss. At that point the healers complaining about why it's so hard to heal, then he's like oh I'm under the haste cap I'll just go re-gem, being the good citizen that I am I waited for about 30mins while he got his gear re-gemmed. He comes back and we down the boss, and then eventually get to the last boss, this guy is still complaining about how hard it is to heal. Until he realises "oh I'm in my balance spec" changes specs "now I'm over the haste cap."
I'm an ICC 10 HM tank, with 46k hp I shouldn't be hard to heal. T_T

The best way out is always through!

If you're used to your heals going WHAM! WHOOSH! and very dramatic, big numbers very quickly it can be startling to have your heals suddenly really slow because you're in the wrong spec and don't have the talent that makes your big bomb heal cast .5 sec faster
Basic strategy for this seems to be: let's aggro the whole room. Tank tankz, heal healz. Witnessed this on my rogue and on my priest.
Negotiation of strat for this consists of a simple "achief" castily typed into party chat while some DPS aggros the whole room.
Today I had another spell of OK for my 2 welfare badges. I've started to do the WHOLE instance. Always. I usually have at least one group member who gets the "completed OK", "completed OK H" achievement. Same goes for HoS. I can't help it, I like OK. It has interesting pulls, the bosses are interesting, there is trash that still can kill you to death and you can show some mad skillz. I especially like how I'm always the first one to escape madness and bombs the others free. And I always carry the in-dungeon-daily-quest with me and share it with the others.
Especially the pulls with the casters next to the two orbs are intersting. I'm trying to perfect my technique of placing those mobs exactly into each other. They still stand a few inches apart.
That's propably another horror story my groups can tell.
pioneer of representative government who was
killed in the Battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265.

I ding'd my warrior out last night and had enough G and badges from walfare leveling to get him around a 48oo GS with 30k HP unbuffed at 550def. So 3 friends and I decide... ALT NIGHT! We start burning down instance and then we get FOS. So we decide to do all 3 and the healer stays. We push thru the first two no problem... It is surpisingly easier to aggro the mobs in the tunnel on the war than on my dk... Hmm... So anywho. We move into HOR. We wipe on the forth wave. We come back, wipe. The healer says..."Your to squishy! You need to atleast have 2 peice T10 to tank this. Have the druid suit up or I'm not healing"
------Right click------Vote to Kick------
Pulled a buddy shammy in who says. Stack in the corner with me. I will riptide, they will all come thru and you can do your thunder thingy and your shock thingy. No problems at all. No wipes, no aggro loss, done and done. Get the achieve and I'm out.
Then I realize that the priest was on our server and had apparently added me to their friends list when I hit trade and said priest is spamming..."They kicked me just to let their friend have the achieve..." Long story short pugs are stupid...
Have you ever seen American Psycho with Christian Bale? Well there is this scene in it where he stares obsessively at his body in the mirror. The ret pally in my hpos this morning was probably doing the same thing with the dps meter. He was doing decent dps compared to the rest of us, but he had no sense of what the tank could handle and the needs of the group.
During the Ick/Krick fight, the healer zoned out and got hit by a pursuit which killed him. Then the tank died. I tried to toss some heals, but the ret pally didn't even try. In fact, he bubbled himself while he continued to fight the boss. The ret and I got him down. Then the pally just stands at the bottom of the ramp, leaving me to rez the rest of the group. So I confronted him and asked if his rez button was broken, and he just went on about how fail the group was and how he was carrying us. after a little bit of shouting, we kicked him out and went through 2 more ret pallies, lol, until we downed the boss.
UNGH... dps meters are a tool for improvement, not boasting.
My current favorite horror story is this: I queued up for my heroic daily and got HUK. The "tank" was a fury warrior, his guildmate the healer (holy paladin). The other two dps were guildmates with each other as well (though not with the fury warrior and holy pally).
It's tedious and painful because the "tank" can't hold aggro...what with him being in zerker stance and having...ok but not amazing gear.
Eventually the 15 minutes of "you can't kick anyone" passes by...at about the last pack of mobs before Ingvar...the last outside hallway there.
We stand still for a while and then a vote kick comes. For the shadowpriest who was doing awful dps, but had a guildmate with him. I voted no and the vote didn't pass. Then another vote kick, this time for the other dps (I forget what he was...he was also pretty bad), also vote no and the vote also doesn't pass. We pull the last pack and as I'm heading up to Ingvar I notice that they're all waiting back.
The vote kick was for me this time...and I get kicked. Having said nothing the entire run and having done most of the dps.
Cool. Good system.
OMG I can't stand it when people do that. Kicking is such a double edged sword. In some cases, like you mentioned, it's a terrible policy. In others, like when our DK ported back to acherus and refused to leave group, and we couldn't kick them out, I would have killed for better kicking ability. Kicking should not be a spite/childish response action.The vote kick was for me this time...and I get kicked. Having said nothing the entire run and having done most of the dps.
Blizz needs to figure out some way to balance that system.
TBH, I think the ability to come and go once in a dungeon is absolutely silly. I understand having to do it once for repairs and stuff, but if a player uses any mechanic other than the LFG teleporting, they should be removed from the group immediately.
Maybe it's harsh, but it's also respectful to the people that come into the dungeon ready to work.
once a upon a time... i ran with a guildie a dungeon for my daily frost. he was a jerk at the healer that wasn't ready since he came and ran like a bull trough the trash... until he finally died.... he curses at the healer. and wanted to get res since he refuse to run back. the healer obviously refuses to res him told him to run back. lucky for him. the tank another dps res him. the healer quits. we get another healer. we move on.. i MD on my hunter some pats to him. to expedite the run since he was in a hurry. he goes at a dps (not me) as y he pull the trash when he wasnt the tank. i told him that it was me and to chill. (in guildchat) he kepts going. so i told him one more time to stop. it give bad rep to the guild and that the we aren't a guild of jerks. he keeps going. .. so i guild kick his ass .. and told him ..later looser. so he drops the grp. we get a replacement tank and finish the run.
moral of the story.
be nice to others as u don't know who or what can they do.
I want to be a gnome shaman with mechanical chickens on sticks for totems
dude i feel for ya. i ran HUP for my daily on my priest. i check the rest of the group it was all guildies.. we where fine until we get to 3rd boss.. before the run... they vote kick me.. dont know y... only know that it sux. so i had to spend another 3min to queue and 15min to finish a run. now i try to run it w/ guildies..... i ws so upset that night... I have a 5.6gs holy/disc priest. so i know it wasnt my heals but it was maybe the group.
yeah sucky system indeed.
I get anoying sometimes when the tank waits for me when i have 15% man just entering a grp to run a dungeon. i mean i know its his job. but i tellhim... dont owrry i dont worry about mana on heroic dungeons. which is tru... they tend to get so bored... unless the tank is undergear.
i just love it when i tank a daily frost dungeon. and we finish w/ tank being number 1 dpser. healer 2nd...... happen a couple times so far

An interview with key executives of Duke-American Transmission Co.: Phillip Grigsby, president, and Randy Satterfield, executive vice president. Both also sit on DATC's Board of Managers.
Fragile Foundation
The capital markets have recovered … or have they?
the environment stabilizing, and with a growing sense that there will be an economic recovery over the next few years, we are starting to see increased interest in M&A activity.
As companies think about how vulnerable they were in the midst of the crisis—and, for example, as they consider the large amounts of money that must be spent to build large nuclear plants and renewable projects—there will be growing acceptance of the idea that a transaction driven by scale benefits is independently justifiable.
Nastro: M&A deal velocity across all sectors is down versus 2008, a decline of approximately 35 percent in dollar terms and 50 percent by volume. Also, the composition of transactions is changing, with all-cash transactions representing approximately one-third of the deals, which is significantly below historic averages in the range of 60 to 70 percent. Companies are hoarding cash as they continue focusing on balance sheet strength. And premiums for acquisitions have increased significantly, to 53 percent from the historic average of 40 percent, as premiums are being paid against depressed share price levels.
M&A activity is largely correlated to equity markets. During the downturn, companies had to finance acquisitions using their stock, and now that equity markets are open again for new issues, companies are able to finance acquisitions using cash.
Also a number of private infrastructure funds continue looking at opportunities in the utility space. They've raised significant amounts of capital they can put to work, and we expect to see more activity from them going forward.
Looking to 2010, M&A activity in the utility industry will be driven by regulated companies continuing to seek scale to finance their cap-ex programs. Size matters, and we'll likely see mergers of equals to build scale. Of course the regulatory backdrop is important. Given the fact we're in a rising price environment, regulators may become more receptive to consolidation as a way to reduce potential rate shock for customers. If the synergies in a transaction can offset price increases, regulators might be more likely to approve that transaction without putting on onerous restrictions.
Also companies will continue to shed non-core assets as a way to finance their significant cap-ex programs.
In the merchant power sector, liquidity and funding pressures could be a potential catalyst for consolidation. But credit-rating pressures are limiting the buyer universe. If rating agencies are going to be punitive in how they assess the business risk profile of a merchant generator, you're less likely to see integrated or hybrid players step in and acquire merchant generators.
Generating assets will continue changing hands, driven in part by liquidity concerns, but many will wait for the perceived bottom to pass before they look to monetize those assets.

Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Thread Count
Quality sheets are often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Make sure you have precisely measured your mattress for its length, width and height. Most mattresses are usually made in specific standard sizes, but there is the possibility of slight variances. Deep pockets will be required for Eurotop or pillow top mattresses.

Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT
A flat tax would affect the poor more negatively than an income tax, but at the same time it might inspire people to get higher paying jobs so they keep more net income...
To be honest I don't care what the tax rate is.
I just wish that the money was used more responsibly though at times. That is all.
The loophole being...
Money from stocks? I'm not sure if that is taxed or not.
also i dont know what obamacare actually is. elaborate.
Well as I heard the main point behind obamacare is lowering the ridiculous ban health insurance companies have on pre-existing conditions, and the forcing of americans to buy health care is a bit of a side show. I don't even understand the problem with forcing people to buy insurance. We do the same thing with cars.
Having a car is a choice.
that's horrid justification. you could stay in a bubble all your life and never require health insurance.
... The difference is that everyone goes to a hospital eventually whereas you could live somewhere like NYC and never need a car.

Gastrointestinal (GI) side effects have been reported most frequently (up to 25% of patients). They have usually been mild and transient. They have included dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and flatulence. More serious GI effects have been uncommonly reported and have included occult blood loss, ulcer, GI hemorrhage with or without perforation, and pancreatitis. In addition, small bowel enteropathies and ibuprofen-associated colitis have been reported. Bloody vomiting has occurred in overdose. Colonic and pyloric channel strictures have also been reported.
Elevations in liver function tests three times normal values have occurred in less than 1% of patients. Ibuprofen-induced hepatitis has been associated with fatal outcomes in some cases.
Vanishing bile duct syndrome has been associated with ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) use. A 29-year-old male patient presented with right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, pruritus and dark urine. He had been taking ibuprofen 600 mg/day for body aches and tension related headaches three weeks prior to the onset of symptoms. The patient remained jaundiced, with xanthomatosis, and complained of fatigue and pruritus 12 months following ibuprofen ingestion. He was eventually referred to an institution for liver transplantation evaluation. The patient was diagnosed with vanishing bile duct syndrome attributed to ibuprofen use.
In patients with liver disease, frequent monitoring of liver function tests during ibuprofen therapy is recommended.
Hepatic side effects have included elevations in liver function tests in up to 15% of patients. Rarely, jaundice, cholestasis, hepatitis, and hepatic failure have been reported. Ibuprofen has also been implicated in the so-called acute vanishing bile duct syndrome in children and in cases of acute hepatitis in patients with established stable, chronic hepatitis C infection.
Ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) may impair the ability of the kidney to cope with low renal blood flow states due to inhibition of prostaglandin-dependent afferent arteriolar vasodilation. Renal function may be further compromised in patients with heart failure, hypovolemia, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, or hypoalbuminemia. Additional risk factors for ibuprofen-induced renal insufficiency are advanced age and concomitant use of diuretics.
A case-controlled study suggested that patients who consumed 5000 or more pills containing NSAIDs during their lifetime may be at increased risk of end-stage renal disease.
Patients with reduced renal function may be at increased risk for renal side effects.
Renal side effects have included mild renal insufficiency, urinary retention, nephrotic syndrome with or without renal failure, acute renal failure due to tubulointerstitial nephritis, papillary necrosis, and acute tubular necrosis.
Metabolic side effects have included hyponatremia and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). In addition, gynecomastia, hypoglycemia, and acidosis have been reported, although causality is unknown. Hyperkalemia has occurred in overdose.
Cardiovascular side effects have included peripheral edema (1% to 3%) and elevated blood pressure (less than 1%). This may be important in some patients with preexisting hypertension or congestive heart failure.
A rare case of painful, persistent peripheral cyanosis and swelling of the fingers and toes which progressed to desquamation and digital pitting infarctions has been associated with ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may elevate blood pressure and increase the risk for the initiation of antihypertensive therapy. Furthermore, NSAIDs may antagonize the blood pressure lowering effect of antihypertensive medications in patients already being treated with antihypertensive drugs.
Nervous system
The incidence of aseptic meningitis is higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases although it has been reported in patients without such underlying disease states.
A recurrent episode of aseptic meningitis is reported in a 51-year-old male within the first seven days of self-administration of ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) for coryza symptoms. His headache resolved within 24 hours after discontinuation of ibuprofen. The development of aseptic meningitis appears to be independent of ibuprofen dose.
Nervous system side effects have been reported rarely. These have included headache, drowsiness, and dizziness. Aseptic meningitis associated with ibuprofen has been described in several case reports. In addition, paresthesias and pseudotumor cerebri have been reported, although causality is unknown.
Hypersensitivity side effects have included erythematous or urticarial rashes, pruritus, angioedema, bronchospasm, and anaphylactoid reactions, particularly in patients with the syndrome of asthma, nasal polyps, and angioedema and/or bronchospastic reactivity to aspirin. Rare cases of systemic reactions, including interstitial nephritis, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome have been reported. Toxic epidermal necrolysis has also been reported, although causality is unknown. At least one case of an acute anaphylactic reaction has also been reported.
A 12-year-old male with significant history of urticaria and angioedema experienced an acute anaphylactic reaction coincident with ibuprofen therapy. He presented to the hospital with fever and cough of 1 day duration after receiving 150 mg dose of ibuprofen (5 mg/kg). He developed a generalized rash, facial angioedema, and shortness of breath 1 hour after ingestion. An acute anaphylactic reaction to ibuprofen was diagnosed. Resuscitation was initiated immediately, and his vital signs stabilized after treatment. His subsequent progress was uneventful, with no further progression or recurrence of symptoms.
Reductions in serum hemoglobin concentrations are uncommon, and are usually associated with occult gastrointestinal blood loss. Ibuprofen induces an antiplatelet effect for at least 6 hours while preserving normal antiplatelet mechanisms.
A 44-year-old female with an unremarkable medical history, except for an appendectomy at the age of 18, experienced hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) coincident with ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) therapy. She was admitted to the hospital for thrombocytopenia and anemia after taking 8 tablets orally of 400 mg ibuprofen. She was diagnosis with HUS. She recovered completely after therapy with fresh-frozen plasma and seven plasma exchanges.
Hematologic side effects have included platelet dysfunction, neutropenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia, and decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit. At least one case of hemolytic uremic syndrome has also been reported.
Acute noncardiogenic pulmonary edema developed on two occasions in an HIV-positive patient. Infectious as well as cardiac etiologies were excluded. A close temporal relationship with the administration of ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) and onset of symptoms was noted.
Respiratory side effects have included noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Dermatologic side effects have been reported rarely. These have included maculopapular rash, pruritus, vesiculobullous eruptions, erythema multiforme, vasculitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and alopecia. Photosensitivity reactions have been reported, although causality is unknown. At least one case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis has also been reported.
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis has been reported in an 80-year-old female, with a history of chronic plaque psoriasis, a week after taking ibuprofen 400 mg three times daily for hip pain. There was marked improvement of symptoms within one week of discontinuation of the drug.
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is characterized by a rapid onset of numerous nonfollicular pustules on a widespread erythema associated with a pyrexia of greater than 38 degrees Celsius and a neutrophilia of greater than 7 x 10^9/L. The histopathological features include papillary edema, a mixed upper dermal perivascular infiltrate and a spongiform subcorneal pustule.
Ocular side effects have included blurred vision (less than 1%), scotomata, and diplopia. In addition, at least one case of corneal verticillata has also been reported during ibuprofen (the active ingredient contained in Q-Profen) use.
Other side effects have included tinnitus (1% to 3%) and vertigo.
Psychiatric side effects have included case reports of pseudodementia and psychotic exacerbation.

'We gotta get juicy!' Karlie Kloss declares as she warms up to shoot her latest campaign for Juicy Couture - and in this just-released fashion film, we see just how 'juicy' Karlie is.
Set to the tune of LL Cool J's iconic track, the model takes to the beaches of Malibu to kick some ass in her Juicy Jeans and good lord, does she look smokin' while doing it. According to the brand, she portrays the perfect Juicy girl: bold, confident and fearless, fighting off a hoard of pesky (and pretty hunky) Californian guys. Basically, Ms Kloss is the most stylish superhero we've ever seen EVER.
The film is an extension of the brand's Autumn Winter 2012 campaign, which was shot by legendary snappers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. 'Our goal was to create a playful, unapologetic fashion film set against the backdrop of iconic California,' said LeAnn Nealz, President and Chief Creative Officer of Juicy Couture. 'All elements, including the music, setting, cast and props were carefully selected to help interpret the New California cool Juicy Girl.'
Yep, it's all about the Girl Power.

Right now, the only "interesting" options on gear are gem slot bonuses (do I use a sub-optimal gem to get the bonus or not?), procs (is BIG buff with 20% uptime better than SMALL buff with 100% uptime) and set bonuses (just how many ilevels are the two or four-piece set bonus worth?)
All other considerations basically come down to more ilevels=better, and the stat weights of hit/expertise/crit/mastery/haste/spirit will be calculated for you by the internet and balanced by reforging.

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 10
Description: Flare is an advanced elemental technique that requires the user to circulate lightning and fire chakra into their hands and convert it into two forms of energy; electricity and heat. Having those two charged in their hands, user simply points their hands at a target to release a visible surge of combined heat and electricity at their target's direction. Hitting on the target will cause a pulse of energy to blow them backwards without dealing any actual life threatening damage. This is mainly used to escape an opponent reaching close quarters by blowing them backwards several meters or to create structural damage. This technique can be used with only one hand as well and by doing so will cost the normal amount of chakra that the technique requires even though the damage it causes will be halved. Releasing two beacons that hit each other will cause a large overload which is capable of blowing everyone short range from it backwards.
- Using this technique in rapid succession for several times without proper intervals can cause burns and paralyzing on user's hand.
- Converting energy into a blast takes around a second to charge, leaving user open during that time.
To anyone checking this: since the technique doesn't generate any actual damage and is meant to be a suppressive technique, so I was hoping not to have to restrict it any further.
~Declined~ Rather similar to other techniques.

No 1: Vivante
No 2: Esprits follets: Prestissimo
No 3: Canon: Assez vivement
No 4: Tempo giusto
No 5: Horace et Lydie: Vivacissimo
No 6: Barcarolle: Assez lentement
No 1 of the Op 65 set has no title beyond its tempo marking, Vivante, rippling triplets accompanying its graceful melody for all but five bars. No 2, Esprits follets ('Goblins'), is a near-relation of Mendelssohn's Spinnerlied, Op 67 No 4, a prestissimo fairy-light scherzo. No 3, Canon: Assez vivement, is a haunting lullaby and simultaneously a beautifully harmonized and ingenious strict canon at the octave—the melody is played by the right hand followed a bar later, an octave lower, by the left hand. No 4, Tempo giusto, begins and ends as a polonaise, its middle section a succession of unexpected modulations and rhythms rising to a climax that threatens to take us back to the supercharged world of the Concerto. No 5 is the oddly named Horace et Lydie. Ronald Smith relates in Alkan: The Music (Kahn & Averill, 1987) that Dr John White identified the structure of the piece as following meticulously the scheme of one of Horace's Odes in which 'the second speaker [Lydie] in the dialogue must reply to the first [Horace] in the same number of verses and on the same or similar subject and also, if possible, "cap" what the first speaker has said'. The last of the set, Barcarolle, is, relatively, one of Alkan's best-known works (Mr Hamelin has recorded it previously on Hyperion CDA66794) and, according to Smith: 'A fascinating pre-echo of the "Twenties". With its flattened sevenths and false relations it might well be described as the piece of Mendelssohn that Gershwin forgot to write!'
Taken as a whole, one must wonder why this third book of Alkan's Chants is so completely unknown. Any one of its six pieces would, at the very least, provide a pleasing encore. Perhaps (and not for the first time) the advocacy of Mr Hamelin will rescue these unjustly forgotten gems and put them where they belong—restored, polished and glittering in the shop window for everyone to see.

How odd. For me Unholy is completely easy and intuitive, but tanking and DPS. I personally had issues with working a Frost rotation and I had threat issues in blood which I'm sure was due to unfamiliarity with it.
Unholy's rotation is thus:
Single: IT->PS->BS->BS->SS->UB
Multiple: DnD->IT->PS->Pest->UB
BB->SS->SS->BB(I think that's how rune cd work out)
Funny thing is, that's for both DPS and tanking. You only need to add in the occasional HoW if you don't have the RP for UB due to RS :P

If the spring/summer haute couture season opened with two blockbuster shows – Atelier Versace and Dior haute couture – then Giambattista Valli's collection saw something of a return to the discipline's old school good manners and restraint in terms of presentation at least.
This was held in the suitably grand salons of the Italian Embassy – think the most spectacular antique crystal chandeliers and elaborate gold plasterwork – with guests perched politely on the requisite gilt-edged chairs.
The clothes too spoke of couture's mid-Twentieth Century glory days. Sack backs and balloon dresses (both Cristobal Balenciaga signatures), wasp waists and full skirts (Christian Dior) and – in particular – quite the most dramatic floor-sweeping trains. This, then, was about grand entrance dressing, no holds barred.
In Valli's hands, blossom was crafted out of the most fragile and fluffy feathers: blink and it would be easy to miss the extraordinary workmanship that went into their making. Overblown gowns more worthy of the term meringue than any seen so far were scattered with sparkle. Toughening up the pretty as a princess sweetness that for the most part dominated were chunky bronze leaf and flower belts and chokers, an oversized porcelain tiara and the odd pop of vivid colour too - imperial yellow, to be precise.
Bringing an age old craft form into the modern age is a challenge that every couturier worth his credentials faces these days and in this instance trousers worn where in days of yore a skirt would surely be were a contemporary touch. These looked suitably glamorous in abstracted animal print silk chiffon.

A big, bold, full-bodied cup of coffee, with an aroma that lingers all day.
Starbucks has found a way to offer a truly great cup of coffee that you can prepare by just adding water. Other instant coffees taste flat and lifeless. Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew is different - it's full bodied and flavorful, just like the Stabucks® coffee you know and love.
We know. We say the words "instant coffee" and you immediately think of something lifeless and flat. No smell. Even less taste.
We're about to change all that. Now you can enjoy our bold and roasty-sweet Italian Roast in an instant. Just tear open a pack of Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew and add water. Let the coffee brew 10 seconds, stir, breathe it all in and enjoy.
When we set out to create Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew, we wanted an outstanding cup of coffee that we could enjoy anywhere, at any moment. And now with the launch of Starbucks VIA® Decaf Italian Roast "anytime" includes those occasions that call for the rich, bold taste of coffee – but not the caffeine. Sharing with guests after a dinner party? Relaxing on your red-eye flight? Rushing off to an afternoon meeting? You'll find all of these situations (and a thousand more) are perfect for our high-quality, 100% arabica, naturally decaffeinated instant coffee.
It's all about the taste... Read the early reviews...
FAST COMPANY'S "10 biggest java junkies"
SMART MONEY "We sampled VIA for ourselves."
It's not instant coffee the way you know it. This is genuine, dark-roasted Starbucks® coffee. 100% arabica and ethically sourced. Isn't it wonderful? There's now an instant coffee that you can start a whole new tradition with.

Immersions and Embeddings
As we said before, the notion of a "submanifold" gets a little more complicated than a naïve, purely categorical approach might suggest. Instead, we work from the concepts of immersions and embeddings.
A map of manifolds is called an "immersion" if the derivative is injective at every point . Immediately we can tell that this can only happen if .
Notice now that this does not guarantee that itself is injective. For instance, if and , then we can form the mapping . Using the coordinates on and on , we can calculate the derivative in coordinates:
The second component of this vector is only zero if itself is, but in this case the first component is , thus is never the zero map between the tangent spaces. But , so is not injective in terms of the underlying point sets of and .
Courtesy of Wolfram Alpha, we can plot this map to see what's going on:
The image of the curve crosses itself at the origin, but if we restrict ourselves to, say, the intervals and , there is no self-intersection in each interval.
There is another, more subtle pathology to be careful about. Let be the open interval , and left . We plot this curve, stopping just slightly shy of each endpoint:
We see that there's never quite a self-intersection like before, but the ends of the curve come right up to almost touch the curve in the middle. Going all the way to the limit, the image of is a figure eight, which includes the crossing point in the middle and is thus not a manifold, even though the parameter space is.
To keep away from these pathologies, we define an "embedding" to be an immersion where the image — endowed with the subspace topology — is homeomorphic to itself by . This is closer to the geometrically intuitive notion of a submanifold, but we will still find the notion of an immersion to be useful.
As a particular example, notice (and check!) that the inclusion map of an open submanifold, as defined earlier, is an embedding.

You'd think given how white stilettos are all the rage this season, finding wedding shoes should be easy. It's not. Because the thing with sparkly/metallic/white footwear is that it can easily look really cheap. Which isn't what you want on your wedding day.
Step forward Brian Atwood – and his debut collection of bridal shoes that he unveiled in New York earlier this week. The designer, who started at Versace, is well loved by A-listers looking for a distinctive red carpet shoe. And judging by his collection of simple court shoes in any type of ivory and metallic fashion-forward platforms, brides-to-be are about to fall for him too.
'I was inspired by my sister who just got married. It's impossible not to get caught up in the romance of a wedding and creating a collection that makes women feel sexy and beautiful on one of the most important days of her life is such an honor,' Atwood said of his first bridal-wear, which will be stocked online at www.brianatwood.com from June 2013. 'My challenge in designing bridal was restraint! I wanted bridal to reflect the same DNA as my collection, but with a softer approach – the romantic and feminine side of sexy.'
And what's his advice for brides-to-be on choosing the shoes to go with that dress? 'Footwear can be overlooked but it's such an important part of your wedding day ensemble. The right heel has the ability to make or break a look. Brides should be aware of how much extra height they need in order to look and feel their best, especially when wearing a floor length dress. And don't forget, accessories are an area where you can have fun and take some risks, so I say go for it!' Once you've chosen them the designer has just one piece of final advice. 'You should always break them in by wearing them at home first!'
Ok, the prices aren't for the faint hearted, with prices starting at £585, but how beautiful are some of these shoes? We especially love the fact you can get them custom-made to give you that 'something blue' like these from the press show. Shoes you'll wear more than just down the aisle, we say…

The camera is perfect and lightweight. I wish it came with an SD card as I had to drive 100 miles to find the correct card.
We bought the camera for our 16 yo daughter. We chose it because it wa cheap and she loses things quite a bit. Get what you pay for because it it a cheap camera. Hopefully it stays waterproof. Wish it had a rechargeable battery.
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter hoping it would withstand her. It has, and a vacation with her. Definitely worth the money!
With the Bell&Howell SP10 12MP camera in hand I was ready to record my once in the lifetime event - The first family gathering with all my children and grandchildren were flying in from several states. My first & last snapshot- the camera wouldn't work. Two digital savy camera family members examined the camera and weren't able to take a single picture either. Their advice was to return the expensive piece of junk. I was so disappointed.

Penn State provost is 'cool' with New Kensington campus students
Nicholas Jones, executive vice president and provost at Penn State, continued his tour of the University's 24 campuses Feb. 19 with a stop at Penn State New Kensington. Jones, who was appointed to the position in July, met with students, faculty and staff, and toured the facilities. In his opening remarks, Jones stressed that Penn State was one university comprising 24 campuses. He said there is no "main campus," as Penn State University Park is often referred, and campuses such as New Kensington aren't "satellite campuses." According to Jones, "Penn State is one University, with 24 dispersed campuses."

Today, April 15, is a dark day. The sun hangs a little lower. There's free coffee, but it's only going to give you the shakes later this afternoon. It's tax day, and that refund you thought you had coming is a little short this year. Instead of that Anthem D2v, P5, and Paradigm Signatures, you're going to have to settle for a Home Theater in a Box. We wanted to find you one that will make you proud knowing that your speakers and AVR come in the same carton.
From now through April 30, 2010, Amazon has the Klipsch HD 500 Compact 5.1 speaker package and Denon AVR-1610 receiver for a combined low price of $599 with free Super Saver shipping (or 2-Day for Prime members).
The AVR-1610 packs 75 watts per channel, Audyssey MultEQ room correction, and 3 x 1080p HDMI inputs. The Klipsch HD 500 includes five compact satellite speakers and 8-inch 120w subwoofer that should put any HTiB speakers to shame.
To get the package price just add both items to your cart (make sure you're getting them from Amazon and not a 3rd party) and you should see the discounted price at the very last step in the checkout process. The savings more than makes up for what you paid the accountant—the Klipsch set itself ordinarily runs $549, and the receiver $379 when sold separately.
It may not be quite what Turbo Tax said you could buy, but the 22-year-old University of Phoenix CPA at H&R Block knows what he's doing, right?Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Customer Reviews
There is no such thing as Pharmaceutical Grade
61 people found the following review helpful
Posted by EdiblyOrganic on Sep 05, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
According to Consumer Labs, chromatographic analysis of this product (RxOmega-3 Factors) came up far short of their label claims of EPA and DHA despite their marketing statement that it is "one of the highest potencies of EPA and DHA available". In fact, their product only contains 83.3% of the label claims. It is also one of the more expensive ones on the market. Its claims to be "Pharmaceutical Grade", are completely meaningless because the FDA doesn't grade fish oil, so there's no such thing as "Pharmaceutical Grade". When CL published their test results, the manufacturer asked CL to retest with a different independent lab agreeable to both. CL agreed but insisted that the lab report, whatever it may say, would be published unedited. The manufacturer then backed out and refused the test unless the independent report could be redacted or edited. Beware and do your research!.

Since it had such high reviews, I tried it. I've had cheaper fish oils, but this one is so rancid!! I never get fish burps and I got my first one...and it tasted rancid. Never going to buy it again. I wonder why it's so popular... すごく臭いです・・こんなに臭うフィッシュオイルは初めてです。体に悪そうです・・

I have had other 'Pharmaceutical Grade' fish oil that that was not 'fishy' smelling when I burped. I really cannot take this stuff w/o this happening. My understanding is that is the point of 'pharmaceutical grade.' Not happy. Bought 2 large bottles.

I have been using fish oil caps for a long time now. I tried this one on a reccomdation of Iherb, found that this is the worst one for burping up fish oil and tast. and cannot get taste out for some time. went back to the Krill fish oil tabs that do not do this nearly as bad or at all. waste of money use the Krill fish oil. unless you like fish oil taste.

I'm very excited about Hydran attack getting released soon. And I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I'd like a bit more info on the other items.
Have the specific ships for Booster Packs #25, #26, #27 been listed anywhere?
Also, having never played a "campaign" game, what exactly is Federation Admiral? It's described as a campaign system for FC but I don't know what that means? Just longer scenarios? Or something more robust?

A campaign system is basically a series of connected scenarios, although Federation Admiral is a bit more involved than that.
Boiled down to it's simpliest terms:
1. Each Commander receives X number of points with which to purchase his starting forces / planetary defenses.
2. Each turn, all sides generate economic points with which additional units can be purchased / upgraded. These are generated in various methods which are spelled out in the campaign specific rules, and can usually be modified by Pirate Raids or enemy attacks.
3. You explore new territory, expand your base of operations, encounter other Commanders, establish treaties / fight battles, etc.
4. Begin the next turn...
the big thing to remember is that in a campaign, actions have consequences. If you throw your forces into an un-winnable battle and allow ships to be destroyed - they will not be available next turn... or any turn after that.
The best part of a campaign is the strategic thinking required to determine how to allocate your forces to accomplish all the goals you have set for yourself w/o spreading yourself too thin.

That sounds very cool. So is this a stand alone product, or do you fight out individual battles using normal FC, then go over to Fed Admiral and track progress, and switch back and forth?

The simple answer is, Both - Neither - and Either.
The system is designed to allow he individual battles to be fought out in Federation Commander (hence the subtitle, a Campaign System for Federation Commander), but it also has an abstracted combat resolution system that can be used to resolve any or all battles - although using it for everything kinda defeatsthe purpose of having a Fed Comm campaign system.

It's nice that it has its own built-in battle-resolution system though, so you don't have to play out the "boring" or completely one-sided and inevitable battles (unless you want to). Having it both ways lets you and your opponent(s) pick and choose which battle you want to play out in FedCom.
Battles having consequences (as in an on-going campaign) puts a completely different spin and feel to them. Like scoutdad said, throwing your forces into battle to die in a blaze of glory for an evening's fun isn't quite as fun when you're then at a disadvantage in the next battle, and the next one after that, etc.
Protecting your key (usually the bigger) ships becomes much more important. It's a bit like chess; pawns (easier to replace frigates and destroyers) are there to be sacrificed to protect more important pieces that really decide battles (battlecruisers, dreadnoughts).
I've found it adds a whole new layer of "roleplaying" to the games. Names on ships tend to persist, especially if the ship is a consistent performer. Losing that ship later can be very troubling. Getting upset over losing an imaginary ship (which is really just a ship card and miniature) is the mark of some compelling gaming.
I know that when the crippled Fed BC
went down, heroically acting as a rear-guard to allow its consorts to disengage, I really felt it (and not just because of what she had cost me to procure).

You can see his grief....he's even referring to the
as a 'she'. Which is of course as it should be
It is interesting how we get attached to our ships - even in single, standalone scenarios, it gets like that for me

had survived about 6 battles over the course of four weeks, often battered but never destroyed and winning more often than not. After the second battle, I just left the name on the ship card. It was kind of a bummer to finally wipe it off after that last fight.

Moreover, despite many successes in overcoming the global financial and economic crisis, socioeconomic conditions in more than half of the world's less-developed nations are inadequate.more

Ret pallies who outgear you can make it really hard to hold aggro not only off them but off the rest of the group because you spend so much time taunting off of them.
A good solution in general is to tell whatever dps is pulling off you to tone it down.
If that doesn't work, there are a few things you can do on your end:
For starters, you should put vigilance on any dps class who seems to be pulling a lot of threat (a good addon you might want to download and install is omen threat meter if you don't already have it).
As for your rotation, warrior threat depends SO much on the amount of rage you have and if you open with Shockwave, that's 4 seconds of mobs not beating on you, not feeding you rage. Shockwave is better used conditionally--maybe if the pally pulls aggro off you, you shockwave and buy yourself time to taunt. Using shockwave in general while you're at low rage should be avoided unless it's an emergency stun to keep your healer or dps from getting squished because you cant really generate rage while everything that was hitting you is stunned.
If you find yourself aoe tanking often, I use a spec and glyphs that I've seen very few warriors duplicate. Using the cleave glyph allows you to hit 3 targets with cleave and is probably just about as effective as if not more effective than shockwave when it comes to building and maintaining threat on multiple targets because cleave, in contrast to shockwave, has no cooldown. If you're willing, it might be worth getting the cleave glyph and throwing cleave spam into your rotation--it's not for everyone but has worked really well for me and frees up shockwave for more conditional use if and when bad ret pallies pull off you.
